That Council give Bylaw 10-2020 the Nakamun Park ICF Bylaw second reading. That Council give Bylaw 10-2020 the Nakamun Park ICF Bylaw unanimous consent. That Council give Bylaw 10-2020 the Nakamun Park ICF Bylaw third reading. SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: • Section 708.28 of the Municipal Government Act (MGA) requires Lac Ste. Anne County to complete Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks (ICFs) with all municipalities sharing common boundaries where those neighbouring municipalities are not members of the same growth management board. • ICFs reinforce existing collaboration and formalize a process for municipalities to work together: o The Frameworks must include a list of all intermunicipal service provisions in place between the neighbouring municipalities, including details on which municipality serves as the service lead and how funding is addressed. o ICFs must also contain a dispute resolution process to manage disputes that arise regarding the delivery and cost sharing of services after the ICF has been adopted. • Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs) were formerly required as part of the ICF process; however, amendments to the MGA were implemented in December 2019 (under Bill 25, Red Tape Reduction Implementation Act, 2019) eliminating that requirement, should both municipalities agree. o LSAC received formal notice from from the Village in January 2020, indicating that their municipality agrees no IDP is required. o In January 2020 Council passed the following resolution: That Council discontinue development of all IDPs with those municipalities that agree they are not needed due to the optional nature of IDPs under Bill 25. o The Administrations of both municipalities have collaborated to ensure that the proposed ICF meets the requirements in the MGA and the expectations of both municipalities. They have also collaborated to ensure that the bylaws to be adopted by both municipalities are consistent.

Anne County & Summer Village of Nakamun Park CORE SERVICES TRANSPORTATION Description The general area is services by range roads 21, 22, 23, and township roads 570 and 565 spanning between provincial highways 33 (west), 44 (east), 651 (north) and 777 (south and east). Excepting a small portion of Range Road 23, the County maintains the range roads and is responsible for repair and snow clearing. The Village is responsible for maintenance of all roads within the village and employs its own staff and equipment for repairs, snow clearing and right-of-way/ditch maintenance; however, the Village also acknowledges that on occasion the County grader will grade/snow plough a small section of Range Road 22 within the Village (up to the Canada Post rural boxes, which is a convenient turning location). As Village residents rely on County roads to access the main highways, there is a recognition that future routing changes, improvements or major rehabilitation should involve consultation with the Village and may be an area for collaboration or cost-sharing where such an opportunity is mutually beneficial, subject to pertinent negotiations. Lead Government Agency Road Network Lead/Responsible Agency Highway 33 Province of Alberta Highway 44 Province of Alberta Highway 651 Province of Alberta Highway 777 Province of Alberta Range Road 21 County Range Road 22 County Range Road 23 (excepting between Nakamun Drive and Lake County Nakamun) Summer Village Roads/Streets/Lanes Village There is a general recognition that the County shall maintain the roads within its municipal boundaries and that the Village shall maintain the roads within its municipal boundaries, according to their respective policies, schedules and budgets. However, the County and the Village are open to collaboration of additional/future road repairs on adjacent county roads, if/when required. There is recognition that currently it does not make sense for the County to collaborate or cost share on municipal roads within the Village, as there is no significant essential or high-impact county thoroughfare. The parties may provide additional services to each other, if requested, on a fee for services basis (such as sanding/ salting roadways in winter, crack sealing or other maintenance required from time-to-time), where such work can be accommodated within the vending party’s schedule and abilities. Funding The respective communities will fund all transportation requirements through their respective tax base and/or provincial and federal grants that may be available. Where support is required from one municipality, the two municipalities will agree on the scope of work and the costs involved for each participating municipality. Page | 4 Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (2020) Lac Ste. Anne County & Summer Village of Nakamun Park Timeline The County and the Village will continue consultation and support for each municipality where and when required on an ongoing basis. To help with budgeting purposes, requests and proposals for collaboration should be submitted in advance of the annual budget cycles. Transition Plan The County and the Village will continue its amiable working relationship built on fairness and equality. Changes to how the respective municipalities deal with transportation issues are not anticipated, but the two municipalities will agree to work in collaboration where possible. Term of Review Transportation issues will be reviewed on an as required basis. However, in general, the topic of Transportation shall be reviewed every five (5) years as part of the ICF process to ensure policies and processes remain collaborative where applicable. Other The County and the Village will continue to support regional transportation initiatives where possible, and within current budget allocations. No changes in how the County and the Village approach transportation infrastructure and maintenance issues are required at this time. The parties will continue to work collaboratively to support transportation in the region. Page | 5 Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (2020) Lac Ste. Anne County & Summer Village of Nakamun Park WATER Description Residents within the general area are serviced by the private sector and independent water well or cistern services for their potable water requirements. However, both the County and the Village are active member of the West Inter Lake District Regional Water Services Commission (WILD), which enhances access to potable water in the region. Membership in WILD requires payment of a respective member portion of governance, operating and capital costs, but allows the member access to the network and an annual allocation of potable water for
