Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillors Monner and Hingley, Lynda Cyr and Kevin Booth and Alan MacDonald. The minutes of the meeting held on December 14, 1994 were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. Council read and discussed the quote we received from our insurance company for the Milo Hall and Arena compared to what they are currently paying. The annual premium would be $ 4,294.00 compared to $ 6,266.00 which would be a saving of $ 1,972.00. A letter was received from the Economic Development Committee in Vulcan saying Milo's requisition for 1994 is $ 560.03. Mayor Umscheid made a motion that the Village pay this requisition and send a letter stating that the Village of Milo will no longer belong to the County of Vulcan Economic Development Committee as of January 1, 1995. CARRIED. Council cannot justify the amount of the requisitions for what the Village gets back. Kevin Booth joined the meeting at 6:15 p.m. to ask Council if he could hook up to the town's water system. A letter will be sent to Kevin stating the Village's policy for water hookups. Councillor Hingley reported to Council that the new ambulance should be here in about eighty days. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village approve the 1995 budget for the Ambulance committee. CARRIED. Lynda Cyr said there is still no reply from Terry Mullanger in regards to the letter she sent about the Village's blue prints and the retainer he got. A letter is to be sent to him by Double Registered Mail asking for the blue prints back. Notices are to be sent out with the water and sewer bills at the end of January giving residents a final reminder about getting rid of their 45 gallon drum garbage containers and requesting everyone to quit burning. Mayor Umscheid said he had been approached about renting the Village office on Monday afternoons to a lawyer. Council discussed this and decided to rent the office on a trial basis for two months at a rate of $ 50.00 per day. At that time time both parties will meettto discuss how it is working out. A letter is to be sent in regards to this decision. Mr. Alan Macdonald from Muni Soft computer company joined the meeting at 7:10 p.m. He gave a demonstration on his computer and explained it. He will be sending a proposal to Council. The meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m. The Special meeting of the Village of Milo was held on Wednesday, January 25, 1995 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village office. Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillor Hingley, Municipal Administrator, Lynda Cyr and George Yanicki from Little Bow Provincial Park and the planner from Alberta Parks. They met with Council to discuss the Mitigation & Possible Enhancement of Lake McGregor Recreation Site. Doug, who is the planner, presented a drawing of the proposed enhancement of Lake McGregor. It is believed the level of the lake will be raised this year. They plan on putting stoves, concrete tables and enforcing that fires be in the stoves. The boat launch has been raised and a burm put around it. Posts will be put in for the designated beach area, and the caraganas that are now on the beach area will be removed. There will be more trees planted over the next six years for a windbreak. Currently there is still random camping spots available - just in smaller groups. The ball diamond has been removed and that area is' now to be used for camping due to the loss of shoreline. The beach has been sloped but needs sand. George wondered if the Village of Milo would be interested in a partnership in regards to some of the following things that need to be done: a) Beach — needs to have sand hauled in (approximately 870 cubic meters which would cost about $ 8,000 - $ 9,000). b) Trees - need to be planted and watered. c) Gravel for roads d) Upgrading the playground structure e) The Watchable Wildlife Trail. f) Site Operation Contract - this would include doing all the on site maintenance which would include cutting the grass (2-3 times during the summer), empyting the garbage (twice a week), cleaning the toilets, and collecting the revenue (once aaday). It costs $ 5.00 per night per site to camp. Firewood is also sold at a cost of $ 3.50 per bundle. George stated it would be possible to earn $ 5,000.00 - $ 6,000.00 per summer after expenses. He would be out on a regular basis every weekend, and the R.C.M.P. also make routine checks. He is hoping Council will consider doing one of the things mentioned and possibly getting a service club involved in one of the projects. A discussion followed in regards to the proposed bike path and how it could come across the dam and into the site. Mayor Umscheid asked George if he would send us a copy of the contract and also some numbers from last year in regards to revenue and expenses.
