Clear Hills County
September 25, 2018 Geothermal Analysis Clear Hills County Study by Terrapin Geothermics For further information, contact: Sean Collins, President 780.232.0339 [email protected] Executive Summary In the spring of 2018, Terrapin Geothermics was engaged to evaluate the geothermal resources available to northern Alberta municipalities. Geothermal energy refers to the heat available from within the earth and is classified as a renewable energy resource. Based on Alberta’s sub-surface geology, the highest quality geothermal resources in the province are in the northern and western regions, making the geothermal industry the only source of renewable energy that is better in the northern part of the province than in the south. The majority of wind and solar projects have been developed in southern Alberta due to the fact that the solar and wind resource in Alberta happens to be stronger in those regions. As with all energy developments, before any active project development and direct investment can take place, you must start with understanding the resource available. The primary focus for this particular project was to provide northern Alberta communities with a high- level understanding of the geothermal resource available within a 25-kilometer radius. This information can then provide a starting point for municipalities that are keen to develop their resource further. One of the unique aspects of geothermal energy developments is that you can use geothermal energy for a variety of different things depending on the quality of the resource. The hotter the temperature available, the greater the number of possibilities exist for using this resource. In general, the projects you can develop in this industry break down into a few main categories: 1. -

Attachment “A” Council Base Pay and Per Diem Discussion January 26, 2020
Attachment “A” Council Base Pay and Per Diem Discussion January 26, 2020 The one principle that Council established at the December 8th meeting is that that they still want to be paid Base Pay and Per Diems as opposed to a flat rate. The rates still need to be decided as does what will be included in the base pay. 1. What is included in Base Pay? Before Council sets a Base Pay fee, it is best to determine what is included in base pay. Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: There is a clear transparent definition of what base pay is in the policy. That mileage still gets covered for functions that Council lists as base pay. Below are a few snippets from other municipalities regarding Base Pay. Mountain View County Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Lac La Biche County Cypress County 2. Base Pay Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: Does Council still want to receive annual Market Adjustment? A large percentage of municipalities have the COLA adjustment in their policy. Some pay per market. A disadvantage to this is that you have to find municipalities that are comparable and figure out median rate. This may prove difficult as most municipalities pay differently and what is included in pay is different as well. Administration has created a spreadsheet (like the one finance used for tax rate) to plug in percentage of deduction and it will calculate annual savings. Morinville 3. Per Diem Amount Council may want to take in consideration when making a decision that: Council meetings be considered to be ½ days when the meeting is less than 4 hours. -
