Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Report

Todd Becker, CAO

Todd Becker, CAO

Le islative Re uirement/Authorit :

Municipal Government ActSection 197(1) Councils and council committees must conduct theirmeetings in public unless.... Councils and council committees may close allor part of their meetings to the public if a matter to be discussed is withinone of the exceptions to disclosure in Division 2 of Part 1 of the FOIPP Act.

Section 207(c) The chief administrative officer advises and informs thecouncil on the operation and affairs of the municipality.

BACKGROUND-

CAORe crt

The intent of the CAO report is to provide council information in relation to generalduties undertaken by the CAO. It provides council another opportunity to engage witht^_c^° relating..to theoPerational and strategic objective accomplishments and anyother item council may have questions on.

Administration is suggesting a few tools for council to consider. The intent of the draftChief Administrative Officer report template is to indicate within the administrativereports such things as applicable bylaws/policies, effects to budgets, and references toexisting strategies. The Town has been successful in the development of strategies andassessments, often with public input, which provides the basis for administrativerle,c_o?:m.en51ations; T^e report template also indicates the levels of discussions amongstadministration and other sources that promote inter-departmental collaboration andinformation sharing.

Council Action Control

COLIncllProvides direction to administration through formal resolution and policy.Administration, on through each respective department, has demanding work plans.

AGENDA ITEM #5.1

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Report Page 6 of 120

Regular CouncilCAO ReportAugust 28, 2017Page 2

Administration is presenting a draft council action control model for councilconsideration. The proposed draft action control model is intended to capture council'sdirection (resolution) at each council meeting. The action control will be attached toeach council meeting agenda for review and discussion as well reviewedadministratively following each council meeting. As the actions are completed they willbe highlighted in red bold to show council and the public what the progress has been.This measurement tool can also be considered during the CAO performance evaluationprocess.

Council Committee Meetin

With the evolution of local government council demands have increased significantlyover the last decade. With the increased demands council typically is inundated withlegislation reviews, policies, strategies, and administration requests for decisionsbesides being engaged with the public. It can be difficult to achieve all theorganizational business within the typical two meetings per month. Administration isseeking council direction for research a council committee of the whole structure andpresent to new council following the election for consideration. New council will be put ina position to decide how they wish to conduct their business and if a council committeeof the whole is fitting with their expectations.

A council committee structure that is recommended is one that follows the guidance outlinedwithin the Municipal Government Act (MGA) as well as the Freedom of Information andProtection of Privacy (FOIPP) Act. Council/administration interaction can be achieved withinan informal procedural process that demonstrates transparency in a public setting. Councilcan still have confidential discussions in-camera as outlined in the FOIPP legislation.

0 erational Vision

When a new CAO or senior manager enters an organization the organizational culturecan significantly change. Having an organizational vision provides direction andexpectations to what the organization needs to be like to be successful in the future allof which promotes a positive culture within the work environment. With the Town havinga new CAO it is important to have an initial starting base to build on in relation to vision.From an operational perspective a temporary vision has been established with the intentto redefine the vision in the near future with the direct input of the employees. Thetemporary operational vision is outlined as:

To professionally serve the citizens of the Town of Innisfail by aligning thecore values of trust, integrity and respect within our day to day operationsand long term business plans.

77?/s will be accomplished with the following principles:1. Transparency and doing what we say2. Support and teamwork3. Pride and fun

AGENDA ITEM #5.1

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Report Page 7 of 120

Regular CouncilCAO ReportAugust 28, 2017Page 3

The key to the success of the operational vision is naturally the vision and values of thecommunity expressed through the voice and actions of council. It is recommended forcouncil following the election to engage in vision development processes in order toachieve its short and long term strategic objectives. No formal direction is beingrequested at this time.

RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION:

1. For council to approve the use of the August, 2017 administrative report templateto be used by administration when presenting to council.

2. For council to approve the use of the Council Action Control to be attached toeach regular council meeting.

3. For council to direct administration to research a council committee of the wholestructure to present to council following the election.

2018 Tournament of Champions Hockey Tournament- Extension of 2017-2018 Ice Arena Season

Henry Wong, Director of Community Services

Todd Becker, C.A. O.

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT / AUTHORITY:

Municipal Government Act Chapter M-26Section 5 states a municipality has duties that are imposed on it by this or otherenactments and those that the municipality has imposed on itself as a matter of policy.

BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:

Tournament organizers for the Tournament of Champions have requested ice rentaltime on the weekend of March, 30 - April 1 , 2018, at Innisfail Twin Arena, to host theirannual hockey tournament. The proposed ice rental times for both ice surfaces are asfollows:

Friday: 10.00 a. m. - 10:30 p.m. (25 hours)Saturday: 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (27 hours)Sunday: 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (22 hours) Weekend Total: 74 hours

The Tournament of Champions hockey tournament has been an annual mainstay of theice arena operations over the past number of years.

This annual hockey tournament has hosted up to 96 novice/atom aged teams fromthroughout western Canada, pitting teams that would not normally compete againsteach other in friendly competition. The tournament is hosted in three central Albertalocations (Ponoka, Lacombe and Innisfail), typically on the last weekend of March.

In recent years, due to the timing of Hockey Alberta Provincial championships,Tournament organizers have been forced to move the scheduling of their annualtournament into the first weekend of April. In 2017, the tournament was held on theweekend of March 31 - April 2.

This request would necessitate an extension of the ice arena operations for anadditional week. Under operational guidelines outlined in the current Facility Booking

AGENDA ITEM #6.2

Request for Decision - Extension of 2017/18 Arena Ice Season... Page 20 of 120

Regular CouncilAugust 28, 2017Page 2

Policy, ice arena operations would cease following the conclusion of scheduled use onthe last Sunday of March, however an extension of the ice arena season could beconsidered through a written request for Town Council approval.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

Based on a letter of understanding, the Tournament of Champions would be charged anhourly rate of $95. 00 + GST for their rental of the Innisfail Arena (both ice surfaces)based on a minimum of 75 hours of usage equating to a total revenue of $7, 481. 25($7, 125+5%GST).

Anticipated staffing costs for this weekend would be based on 2 - 8 hour shifts per daywith two staff members per shift for the three day tournament at an average staff wageof$21.82/hour

2 shifts/day x 8 hours/shift x 2 staff/shift x 3 day x $21 .82/hour = $2, 094. 72

Based on average daily utility costs for power and natural gas (calculated from March2017 utility invoices), the anticipated utility costs for maintaining both ice surfaces forthe seven days beyond March 25 (through April 1), would be equated as follows:

Power: Average daily cost of $300. 98 per day x 7 days = $2, 106. 86Natural Gas: Average daily cost of $178. 21 per day x 7 days = $1 ,247.47Total Utilities Costs: = $3,354.33

Expenses not calculated into this report are the 96 hours of staff time allocated tooperate and maintain the facility for the tournament that otherwise would have beenutilized for spring clean-up or to complete outdoor facility preparations (parks, sportsfields, tennis courts etc. ) for upcoming outdoor sporting season. Other intangibleswould include loss of potential rental revenues from dry floor rentals such as minorlacrosse that begin in early April.

RE: ALBERTA TOURNAMENT of CHAMPIONS 2018 ICE REQUIREMENTS

ATTN: Town Council

For the last 21 years we have booked the ice for all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday for theAnnual Novice & Atom Tournament of Champions in your facility. This season our tournamentruns March 30th, 31st, and April 1st, 2018. The 3 other arenas involved are Lacombe, Ponokaand Sylvan Lake. We choose the weekend right after provincials which is usually the lastweekend in March and has at times went into the first couple of days of April.

It is our understanding that you are planning on shutting your arena down the weekend beforebut we are asking you to stay open for this event. As a young family from Central Alberta wedon't want to see the tournament sent to other larger communities. We love that it is in thecommunities we grew up in and spent time as children playing hockey ourselves. We prideourselves on finding local sponsors and advertising what each community has to offer. We havebeen told in the past that some teams would have never known of the Ponoka Stampede, or whata great place Sylvan Lake was for a summer holiday, or Discovery Wildlife Park and JungleFanns for example, if it had not been for our tournament. Even today I received a phone callfrom a business owner in Calgary that was so impressed by the quality of our hoodies he askedfor the Red Deer business we used. I myself feel happy that we are able to give back to ourcommunities when I know fully well he could find what he needed in Calgary.

Our event is a non-profit event and we use all local referees in which we pay them the going ratefor entire event. This is a boost to them and the arena concession which is very busy during thistime. Teams use our tournament as a fun way to wind up their hockey season, we do radioadvertising for the event boosting your city and arena complex. We are totally organized andprovide you with a draw about 3 weeks before the event.

32 teams ascend u on our town durin this event fillin u all the hotels and restaurants. Thisturns out to be 1400 lus eo ledescendin u onthe town it is a eat boost to all the townretail businesses.

We would require an answer as soon as possible.

Curling Rink Roof Repairs

Henry Wong, Director of Community Services

Todd Becker, C.A. O.

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT/ AUTHORITY:

Municipal Government Act Chapter M-26Section 5 states a municipality has duties that are imposed on it by this or other enactments andthose that the municipality has imposed on itself as a matter of policy

BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:

On June 20th, 2017, a severe weather system made its way through Town, resulting inextensive damages to the roof membrane of the Innisfail Curling Rink. The extremewinds caused significant damages to the roof ripping off 1/5 of the roof membrane in theprocess - total area is approximately 4000 Sq. Ft.

Administration contacted Town Insurers to advise of the damages to the facility, andwere advised to obtain quotations from reputable roofing contractorc. Two roofingcontractors were contacted to provide quotations to repair the roof damages with anoption to resurface the entire roof surface with a new SBS membrane.

The following are the two quotations received along with an option to resurface theentire roof surface with a new layer of modified SBS modified bitumen roof membrane.

Contractor

Goodmen Roofing Ltd.Cooper Roofing

Roof Repairs Only$74,490.00$43, 070. 00

with Option$143,050.00$ 93, 350. 00

The repairs would consist of:. Repair of parapets where required. Repair of existing vapour barrier as required with 1-ply hot adhered 15 Ib. felt. Supply/lnstall Type II EPS insulation to match existing. Supply/lnstall Asphaltic Core (Fibre) board. Supply/install modified bitumen base sheet. Supply/install 250 gram modified bitumen cap sheet

Regular CouncilAugust 28, 2017Page 2

. Supply/install 24 gauge metal flashings color to match to existing

. Seal all roof obstacles and perimeter properly.

The option will include the removal of existing roof membrane down to existing EPSmembrane; application of new Asphaltic Core (Fibre) board followed by application ofnew modified bitumen base sheet and new 250 gram modified bitumen cap sheet tocomplete the entire roof.

Administration has been advised that the quotation submitted by Cooper Roofing tocomplete the initial roof repairs is being considered by the Town's Insurers; waiting finalconfirmation from the Town's Insurers through the Adjuster.

As timing of the essence, Administration would like to proceed with the contracting ofCooper Roofing to complete the initial roof repairs at the quoted cost of $43, 070. 00, aswell as implement their proposed Option to apply a new SBS torch on membrane overthe entire flat roof surface at an additional (quoted) cost of $50, 280.00 for a total projectcost of $93,350.00.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

As this repair was necessitated as a result of an act of nature, there were no fundsallocated in advance. Quotations were sought from two reputable roofing contractorsand forwarded to the Town's insurers for approval. At the time of this report, the claimsadjuster had indicated that his/her report would be recommending compensation in theamount equal to the quotation submitted by Cooper Roofing & Exteriors to completerepairs to the damage roof section of the Innisfail Curling Rink in the amount of$43, 070. 00.

In light of recommendations outlined a recent lifecycle assessment of the Curling RinkFacility completed in January 2016, Administration recommends that consideration begiven to resurfacing of the remaining undamaged roof area (approximately 6900 sq. ft.)with a new membrane coversheet. As mentioned previously in this report, this aspectwould see the removal of the existing granular cap sheet and base sheet to expose theasphaltic core/fibre board, followed by the application of a new base sheet covered by anew 250 gram granular cap sheet utilizing the "torch on" method. Cooper Roofing &Exteriors has quoted this additional work at $50, 280.00. Again, there are no initial fundsallocated for this additional work, and as such, funds would have to come fromRecreation Reserves.

ALTERNATIVES / BENEFITS / DISADVANTAGES:

1. Council may accept the recommendation of Administration.

2. Council may reject the recommendation of Administration.

Bylaw 1470-A47 to amend the Land Use Bylaw - General

Meghan Jenkins, Parkland Community Planning Services

Frank Colosimo, P. Eng, Director f Operational Services

Todd Becker, CAO

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT / AUTHORITY:Municipal Government Act - Chapter M-26. 1 Part 17 Division 5 Section 639 every municipalitmust pass a land use bylaw.Municipal Government Act - Chapter M-26 1 Part 17 Division 9 Section 191(1) the power topass a bylaw... includes a power to amend... the bylaw.

BACKGROUND:

Bylaw 1470-A47 represents the proposed amendments to the LUB in response to specificpermits and administrative challenges. The amendments involve:

1. Development Permits - Decks2. Development Permits - Sea/land containers3. Development Officer variance capabilities4. Secondary suite floor area5. Community signs on municipal lands

DISCUSSION:

1. Develo ment Permit - Decks

It is proposed that the requirement for a deck permit be removed for all residential.uncovered decks that comply with the setbacks specified in the LUB. Decks are built onmost homes, and have minimal impact or cause for concern provided that the'deckcomplies with the setbacks in place. Any deck requiring a relaxation of stated setbacks willrequire development permit approval Decks will still require a Building Permit inaccordance with the Alberta Building Code.

Covered decks, porches, verandas, etc will still require a development permit, as once adeck is enclosed it is no longer considered a deck, but an extensio'n/additi'on to the house.

The following LUB amendments are being proposed:

New subsection within s. 2. 4 DEVELOPMENT NOT REQUIRING A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

24(1) No development permit will be required for any of the following types of development providedthat such development complies with all applicable provisions of this Land 'Use Bylaw:

(m) the construction, maintenance and repair of private walkways, paths, driveways, paticand unenclosed decks; ' '' -/-/^--. -/-.. -.. -/-/^-.. ^/

Regular Council, August 28, 2017Page 2

2. Sea/land Containers

Sea/land containers are currently defined in the LUB as follows:

sea/land container means any building that was originally designed and constructed for use asa shipping container, intended for use as permanent or temporary accessory storage;

The LUB then goes on to prohibit the placement of sea/land containers in a residentialdistrict (s. 3. 4(4)).

The use of sea/land containers is becoming increasingly common in all land use districts,including residential. MPC has received requests to permit sea containers in residentialareas for the purposes of renovations or restoration projects. These requests have beentreated as temporary approvals, however clarification within the LUB is needed.

It is proposed that sea/land containers be allowed without requiring a development permitin Highway commercial, Industrial and Public Use districts. In other commercial districts atemporary development permit may be considered by MFC (term to be determinedMPC).

In residential districts, a sea/land container may be permitted in the rear yard for amaximum of 180 days (an initial 90 days approved by the Development Officer, andadditional 90 days considered by MPC).

The following LUB amendments are being proposed:

New subsection within s. 2. 4 DEVELOPMENT NOT REQUIRING A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

24(1) No development permit will be required for any of the following types of development providedthat such development complies with all applicable provisions of this Land Use Bylaw

(r) a sea/land container for the purpose of accessory storage in an industrial, highwaycommercial or public use district, provided the container is, in the opinion of theOfficer

/. located in the rear yard of the parcel; and//'. adequately screened through the use of fencing, landscaping or a combination

thereof; and/oriii. painted or aesthetically enhanced to compliment the primary building.

Amend subsection within s. 3. 4 BUILDING ORIENTATION AND DESIGN

3. 4(4) Sea/land shipping containers or similar forms of shipping or cargo containers shall notbe permitted on a site in any residential district, unless approved as a temporary buildingpursuant to section 3.7

New subsections within s. 3. 7 TEMPORARY BUILDINGS AND SOFT SIDED STRUCTURES

3. 7(2) Asea/land container may be approved, by the Development Officer, for placementwithin the rear yard of a residential pa reel for temporary storage fora maximum of 90 days.The Municipal Planning Commission may consider an additional 90 day approval as a

discretionary use.

3. 7(3) A sea/land container, not explicitly exempt by s. 2. 4(r), may be conditionally approvedby the Municipal Planning Commission pursuant to s. 3. 7(1) as a temporary use in any non-residential district. Any container approved within the Central Business (CB) or LocalCommercial (LC) district must be:

;;.

III.

i. located in the rear yard of the parcel; andadequately screened through the use of fencing, landscaping or a combinationthereof; and/orpainted or aesthetically enhanced to compliment the primary building.

3. Develo ment Officer Variance Ca abilities

Development permits for permitted uses requiring a variance are currently referred to MPC fordecision. This typically adds 2-4 weeks to the permit processing time. For small variance suchas minor setback variances for compliance certificates, decks, sheds and garages this canseem an unnecessary hold up an application. It is proposed that the Development Officer beprovided the authority to grant variances of up to 10% of the stated setback on the followingapplications:

a. Minimum yard setbacks;b. Maximum building height;c. Maximum accessory residential building area (ie. garages); ord. Maximum projection into minimum required yard as stated in section 3. 16.

For example: The maximum size for an accessory building is 728 sq. ft. The DevelopmentOfficer would be able to issue a variance for a garage up to 800 sq. ft (10% of 728 = 72. 8 I 728+ 72. 8 = 800. 8 sq ft)

The application is approved as a permitted use with a variance and still must be advertised andmay be subject to appeal.

The following LUB amendments are being proposed:

ii. Non-compliant setbacks of existing structures where the requirements ofsubsection (5) above are fulfilled.

except as otherwise provided in this bylaw, there shall be no variance frommaximum density regulations;andwhere the issuance of a development permit involves the exercise of anyspecified discretion of the Development Officer or M PC to relax a regulation of adistrict or any other regulation of this bylaw, the MPC shall not permit anyadditional variance from that regulation.

The Development Officer, in accordance with subsections (5) and (6), may approve,with or without conditions, a variance, not to exceed 10%, related to the following:

a. Minimum yard setbacks;b. Maximum building height;c. Maximum accessory residential building area; ord. Maximum projection into minimum required yard as stated in section 3. 16.

In the event that a variance is granted, the nature of the approved variance shallbe specifically described in the development permit approval.

4. Seconda Suite Floor Area

Secondary suites are currently defined in the LUB as follows:

secondary suite means a dwelling unit located within the principal dwelling, on a secondstorey integral to a detached garage, or as an accessory building where the principaluse of the site is a detached dwelling

The LUB currently limits the floor area of secondary suites to 55 m2 (592 fi2). Secondarysuites represent an effective means of providing affordable rental accommodations withinthe community, and particularly in suites developed in (above a garage) or as anaccessory building the floor area has had to be relaxed by MPC.

The following amendment is proposed:

3. 36(3) A secondary suite located within the principal building shall not exceed 55 m2 (592 fl2) ingross floor area. If the suite is located within an accessory structure the suite shall not exceed 65m2(700ft^) in gross floor area.

5. Communit Si ns on Munici al Lands

The sign section of the LUB was reviewed and updated in 2016, including the creation of acorresponding policy to address community event signs on public lands. The'LUB is intended toregulate development on private lands, and Town policy is more adept at addressing short termuses on public lands.

Administration Building Budget Adjustment

Frank Colosimo, P. Eng., Director of Operational Service

Todd Becker, CAO

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT / AUTHORITT:

Municipal Government Act:

Section 242 (1) Each Council must adopt an operating budget for each calendar year.

Section 248 (1) A municipality may only make an expenditure that is:

(a) Included in an operating budget, interim operating budget or capitalbudget or authorize authorized by council.

BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:

As part of the 201 7 Budget, the following projects were approved:

. Administration Building

. Furniture for Administration Building

The source of funding for the project is as follows:

. Administration Building

. Furniture for Administration Building

$2, 525, 142$ 250,000

75% MSI/ 25% FGTF100% General Reserve

As of August 14, 2017 the following is a summary of the costs for the two projects:

$250, 000$61, 631$ 0$61,631$188, 369$10,000$178,369

As noted, there is an anticipated shortfall in the Administration Building Project budget. Theconstruction contract awarded to Phoenix Construction for the Building Project was issuedwithout a contingency. Typically, a construction contract such as this would normally include a10% contingency. To date, all change orders, executed and contemplated, equate to 8.9% of theoriginal contract value. The value of the change orders is considered reasonable considering thenature of construction. If desired, Operational Services can provide a detailed list of changesundertaken to date.

Options to minimize the shortfall have been and are being explored. The shortfall and a smallcontingency of the Administration Building project could be covered by the surplus from theFurniture Project.

Therefore, it is recommended by Administration that the 2017 Budget be amended as follows:

1. Reduce the budget for the Furniture for Administration Building by $65, 000; and2. Increase the budget for the Administration Building by $65,000 with the source of funds

being General Reserve.

ALTERNATIVES:

That Council does not agree to the proposed budget amendment and directs administration tomaintain the existing budget by another course of action including deferral of requiredimprovements in phase 2 of the Administration Building construction.

COMMUNICATION STRATEGY-

None

RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION:

That Council amends the 2017 Budget as follows:

1. Reduce the budget for the Furniture for Administration Building by $65,000;2. Increase the budget for the Administration Building by $65, 000 with the source of

funds being General Reserve.

Fabric Structure for Public Works storage

Frank Colosimo, P. Eng, Director of Operational Services

Todd Becker, CAO

/

BACKGROUND:

On April 10, 2017 Council approved a budget increase for a fabric structure to be installed at theTown Yard for sand-salt storage and vehicle parking. The increase was based on four budgetestimates received by Administration. To meet the operation business needs of the OperationalServices department, the fabric structure specifications were revised and a Request ForProposals (RFP) was issued on June 15, 2017. The proposals were evaluated on the followingcriteria: adherence to specifications, references, cost, and timeline.

Eleven proposals were received. Even though award was not based on price exclusively, therange of costs proposed was $77, 397 - $154, 788 plus GST. The proponent with the highestevaluation was Coverco Buildings with a proposed cost of $77, 397. 00 Plus GST.

In evaluating Coverco Building proposal, the following was noted:

. A similar structure was installed for the Town of Sylvan Lake. A reference check with theTown of Sylvan Lake was very positive.

. A five year (5) maintenance period instead of the two (2) year maintenance period aspart of the Town's standard Construction Contractor Agreement.

PROPOSAL:

That Council approves awarding the Public Works storage structure to Coverco Buildings for theamount of $77, 397 plus GST.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

The available budget for this project as approved by Council is $89, 000 which includes a 5%contingency. The lowest bid is $77, 397. This represents a savings of $11, 603 compared to thebudgeted amount.

Water Meter Register Upgrade - Communication PlanImplementation

Frank Colosimo, P. Eng., Director f Operational Service

Todd Becker, CAO

BACKGROUND:

Water meter registers were replaced throughout the Town of Innisfail between 2010 to 2012.The meters were supplied by Master Meter Canada (MMC) and installed with Town forces.

The Town's current practice for reading water meters is somewhat automated, utility staff drive-by all the meters and automatically read consumption via radio system. The readings are theaccumulated monthly water consumptions only. The data is downloaded to a central computerin Town office and any missed reads are noted and the utility staff is dispatched to pick up anymissed reads. At that time, utility staff observe if there are errors in the registers.

Starting in September 2016, administration began tracking a high degree of water meterregisters that were failing, approximately 10 to 50 units a month. The water meters themselveswere measuring correctly; it was the registers that displayed the consumptions were not working- the screens were blank. Working with the supplier, MMC, it was determined that the batterieswere failing prematurely due to an engineering error and likely the rest of the registers in Townwill continue to fail over the next couple of years. The Town has 100% warranty on the supplyof the registers and MMC is willing to honour their warranty and supply full replacement of allthe registers. The Town would have to install the registers.

In discussions with MMC, an alternative proposal was developed. MMC would be willing to offera credit equal to the value of the replacement registers to the Town if the Town wished toexplore alternative MMC products. Since the original register program was selected, there havebeen technological advances in the water meter industry that support water conservation,enhanced customer engagement and utility best practice initiatives.

Council directed administration to proceed with negotiations with MMC for warranty replacementof meters and determine if there are any technological advances that might be beneficial to theTown and its citizens. Findings and any additional costs were to be brought back to Council fortheir consideration.

In administrations research of common technological advances in the water meter industry, thefollowing advances were noted:

. Consumption is recorded on a sub-hour rate for the month as opposed to only a singlemonthly consumption number,

AGENDA ITEM #7.5

Request for Decision - Water Meter Register Upgrade - Commun... Page 54 of 120

. Improved frequency to transmit data,

. Register that support drive-by mode and can be migrated to a full automated meterinfrastructure (AMI) fixed area network,

. Enhanced operator feedback at the time of drive-by meter reads to ensure higherdegree of successful reads during first pass,

. Operator alerts of meter failures such as low battery, low flow, errors, reverse flow,tampering, etc.

. Customer engagement software that provides access to review consumption andusage statistics, compare their usage to similar rate payers, customers canelectronically communicate with a utility customer service agent and set budgetreminders and leak alerts

. Installation of AMI fixed area network to improve accuracy of billing set - twice a daydownloading will allow data logging errors or meter failures to be detected earlier andrepairs initiated sooner. This will reduce the need for estimating consumption andimprove reliability in the system. Immediate Leak Alerts - Waiting 30 days to action ona leak alert is a big difference over immediate alerts for leak to both the customer andthe utility. This is also true of other alerts such as reverse flow, tamper and zeroconsumption scenarios. More Precise Time Stamps - In Drive-by, a time stamp candrift by as much as a few minutes over the course of 30 days. Fixed area networkreads will self-correct if it drifts more than a few seconds. Real Time NetworkMonitoring events and alarms come in in real time. Drive-by network monitoring is 30days old. This will give the customer access to relevant and timely information in'whichthey can base consumption patterns on. Hourly reads allows the utility to enforce waterusage restrictions, resolve customer billing disputes in real time, monitor majorresidential events such as filling a swimming pool, and to profile peak usage times tojustify tiered billing and reduce pump usage. 2 Way Communication reduces" RF Clutterand Noise levels and is a very efficient communication method. Customers will havereal time data and customers with repeat disputes with the utility regardingconsumption will be able to monitor and manage their own consumption via thecustomer engagement bundle.

It was the recommendation of administration that a more technological advanced register bepurchased capable of operating in the drive-by mode and migrating to the AMI fixed" networksystem, customer engagement software be deployed, and depending on cost, theimplementation of an AMI fixed area network. Furthermore, given the Town's experience withregister replacement program and current work load of staff, explore the cost of having a thirdparty install the new registers.

Based on final negotiations with MMC, the following resolutions related to the water meterregister upgrade were considered and approved by Council at the June 12 and July 24 CouncilMeetings:

1. That Council approves entering into a contract with Master Meter Canada for Phase 1 ofthe Water Meter Register Upgrade Project with the Allegro registers, for the value of$485,667. To be funded from the Water Reserve;

2. That Council approves entering into an extension into the existing MMC contract forwater meter upgrade to implement a fixed area network system, implement a customerservices engagement bundle and undertake training, software and license for a value of$87, 934 with the source of funds being the Water Reserve.

AGENDA ITEM #7.5

Request for Decision - Water Meter Register Upgrade - Commun... Page 55 of 120

The final contract included the following particular details:

1. Supply and install of all new Allegro Interpreter Registers including appointmentbooking,

2. Obtaining 450 Mhz license,3. Credit back for all Version 1 MMC registers,4. Reading equipment case upgrade,5. Training and software license,6. One base station and repeaters required for the AMI fixed network,7. The purchase of a customer engagement bundle,8. Warranty - Registers: 10 year (100%) +10 year (declining) warranty on register and 1

year on installation, AMI: 3 years on all computers and 5 years on remainingcomponents,

9. 10% contingency10. Any annual cost will be built into the 2018 Budget.

PROPOSAL:

MMC has indicated that the schedule of the water meter register upgrade is as follows:

August to September - approvals, project initialization, call center setup, staff training andinventory management

October to March - public communication, register change out and AMI fixed network set up

In advance of the contractor and his agents contacting the citizens of Innisfail to coordinateregister upgrades, administration is proposing to undertake a public communication initiative inadvance to inform out citizens of the upcoming work.

While it is expected that the communication plan will needed to be flexible so that it can meetthe needs of the time, Administration is proposing the following Communication Plan toannounce the upcoming program:

. The attached Resident Notice of the Water Meter Upgrades will be sent out to eachaddress within Innisfail early September,

. A press release will be issued announcing the upcoming program,

. A question and answer will be developed for the staff to respond to any inquiries fromthe citizen as to details of the program,

. The public communication undertake by MMC will be reviewed and approved byadministration prior to issuing to the citizens.

At this time, administration is requesting Council approval to undertake the communication planas shown.

ALTERNATIVES:

That Council does not agree with the recommended action of Administration and directsadministration to proceed with an alternative action.

Over the next few months, the Town of Innisfail will upgrade water meter reading systems at every residence and business in town. These modernized systems will offer the ability to collect data in a muchmore efficient and detailed manner, ensuring reliable billing practices and giving you peace of mind.

TOWN OF INNISFAIL

RESIDENT NOTICESystem Modernizat ion: Water Meter Upgrades

403-227-3376

The meter registers being installed offer far more technological and operational advantages over what’s currently in place. They’ll operate on a fixed network system, which will allow readings to be collected through a remote download twice a day. To put that into perspective, readings are currently collected once a month — and only by driving past every property in town. 

We're putting the control back in your hands! Through a mobile app, the new system will allow you to monitor and manage your own water consumption. Seeing activity on a meter that’s supposed to be dormant? Now you can look into it immediately. Pinpoint sources of leaks and unwanted flow, and ultimately save on your utility bill. Create your own water conservation strategy and see the results in action!

With some meter registers in town having exhausted their lifespan unexpectedly early, now is the most sensible time to implement a town-wide upgrade. While it’ll take several months to install new meter registers at every residence and business in town, the technology will ensure the system stays current and effective for up to 20 years.

Recently, our manufacturer (Master Meter Canada) advised us of a battery-related fault that was causing some meter registers to expire about halfway into their expected lifespan. While the manufacturer offered to replace them, we felt it would be best to use the opportunity to upgrade to a more modern, efficient and environmentally friendly technology that would aid in our town-wide water conservation efforts.

WHY NOW?

New Water Meters

HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF THE INSTALLER?Master Meter Canada staff will carry valid identification upon visiting your home. If you have any doubt about the validity of the ID being presented, please call the Town Office at 403-227-3376.

In accordance with the Town’s Utilities Bylaw, every property in town must have a valid, functioning water meter. Even if your meter is still functioning as it should, the upgrade is required to ensure the continuous, uninterrupted collection of data.

NO — the town-wide upgrade won’t have any bearingon any rate increases or decreases that may occur. It’s being funded entirely from the Town’s Water Reserve.

The upgrade is planned to start in late Fall 2017 and conclude in Spring 2018. Master Meter Canada will contact you to set up a day and time to have your new meter register installed. All together, the process should last no longer than an hour, with installation carried out at no charge. We simply ask that you keep the area surrounding your water meter nice and clear. The easier it is for staff to access, the quicker the new meter register can be installed.

In a word — NO! Any meter registers that have failed have had a shorter-than-expected battery life. This impacts a meter’s ability to display and transmit data — not its measuring capabilities. If your meter goes blank as a result of a dead battery, your current water consumption will be estimated based on your previous water consumption.

DOES THIS MEAN PREVIOUS METER READINGS BEEN WRONG?

WILL THIS CAUSE MY UTILITY BILLS TO GO UP?

IS THIS MANDATORY?

WHEN IS THIS TAKING PLACE? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? 

Here’s what Health Canada has to say on the matter:

WHAT ABOUT RADIO FREQUENCY

(RF) ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH

WIRELESS (SMART) METERS?

ISN’T THAT BAD FOR MY HEALTH?

“Unlike cellular phones, where the transmitter is held close to the head and much of the RF energy that is absorbed is localized to one

specific area, RF energy from smart meters is typically transmitted at a much greater distance from the human body. This results in very low RF exposure levels across the entire body, much like exposure to AM or FM radio broadcast signals. Since RF energy exposure levels are far below

Canadian and international safety limits, Health Canada does not consider that any

precautionary measures are needed to reduce RF energy exposure from smart meters.” 

All installations will be carried out in a compliant manner.

CANADA 150 CelebrationsOrganizing Committee Wrap- Up Meeting

Thursday, July 27th, 20174:30 p. m. -6:00 p. m.

Innisfail Aquatic Centre - Meeting Room

Call to Order @ 4:35PM

1. Review of Events

a. Set-up for eventi. Parks: Generally well up to 4PM for parks department.

Staging was a little confusing.

ii. Beer Gardens: good access during the day, no problem with set-up or vehicles.

iii. Stage Set-up: The stage that was supposed to be the main stage wasn't usedafter cultural performances. Temporary staged was used by performers,happened due to heat and access of seating. Lots of spectators werecomfortable in the cook shack so the layout was changed to face them.

iv. Layout of events: Positive comments about the layout of the park. Enough spaceto walk between them.

b. Use of Venue

i. Parking was generally good. Church parking lot was full at the height of theevent. No complaints from attendees.

ii. Environmental impact was not noticeable. No complaints from attendees.

c. Entertainers

i. Music

Different types of music (country, folk and acoustic rock) were well-represented.The variety and was enjoyed by the different age groups that were at the event.Slight hiccup with a group not having shown up but coordination ensured that itwasn't noticeable to the audience.

Suggestions:

Adjust the times for earlier in the night to allow the headliners to be in front ofmore people.Having music timed to wrap up with the fireworks as the finale.

ii. Cultural Performances (Mcleod of Lewis Dance, Joy's School of Dance)Positive comments for both of the cultural performances.Su estions:

Provide a changing room for the performers so that they can change costumesfor different performances.Set-up of stage earlier, maybe even a day or two early for practice time.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

Correspondence & Information Page 80 of 120

More room for performances; having double the space for a stage area.Combining two units that were the size of this year's stage with a floating stagecould be an avenue.

iii. Use of StageThe permanent stage that was intended to be used at the primary performancearea was only used from approximately 5-7PM. The day was very hot with a lotof sun, so people that were in the cook shack stayed under the cover. When thecultural performances started to use the secondary, trailer stage. They shiftedthe front of the stage so that it was facing southeast-wards, towards thespectators in the cook shack. This continued after the musicians took the stage,with every performer after Mandy Ducharme using the secondary stage.Su estions:

Having a way to use the cook shack and the hill seating.Reconfiguring the permanent stage to open in a different manner, changingstructure of the roof to open in a different way. This would ideally open towardsthe hill seating and the cook shack as much as oossible.Having a lighting system on the stage for when performers into the evening.

d. Kids Zone

Maple Leaf CraftThe 150 craft went really well. Approximately 300 were done over the course ofthe evening. The chairs were never unoccupied but not disorganized. Anadditional 200 were painted at the Historical Village at Canada Day.

4-H Games

Two 4-H clubs; the West Central Wranglers and the Bow-lnn Beef Clubvolunteered to run traditional, Canadian themed games. They ran 7, differentgames and were very well received. Total volunteer effort with 15 volunteers(114-H members and 4 parents) volunteering from 5-8:30.They gave out 500 prizes in all (you had to play all 7 games to receive a prize).All ages enjoyed the games. They may be interested in participating in anotheryear. They were busy throughout.

e. Dunk Tank

Many people enjoyed themselves and the event. Location east of gazebo alongthe tree line, being more along the main-walk up. Popular station right from thebeginning of the night with lines and spectators throughout.Believe that there was one fill of the dunk tank for the night.Close to $1000.00 was raised for Victim Services during the event.Safety bear was a hit with the children.Suggestions:

Having a board to see who would be knocked off and when could drawattention.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

Correspondence & Information Page 81 of 120

Location could be changed if the group was interested.

f. Beer Garden

i. Time crunch was run into leading up to the event.Well-attended.

No problem with serving food to drinking and non-drinking groups.Some said that the till and the condiments should have been more separated.More tables could have made for more seating.This was a positive fundraiser for the Lions.Volunteer effort was very good.Good networking opportunity within the town.Strangers got to know each other.No major issues with over-consumption.No issues with people taking beer out of the area.Su estions:

An idea was proposed that that the cook shack could be included in beergardens in the future. It would be something to explore and consider beforemaking the decision. Some partners like the Church and attendees would needto be considered when doing so.

g. Food Service

i. Lions - Food went generally well. Some people were ready to eat at 4PM andthere were line-ups. 410 hamburgers, 286 hotdogs.Tried to do a holding tray for burgers but it wasn't needed to be used until9:30PM.Recruiting volunteers was and will need to be a concerted effort, especially foran event on a Friday or a holiday.The mini-donut trailers experienced their busiest event ever. They were busythroughout the evening.Welcoming Communities - approximately 300 smokies and hot dogs were sold.Reefer Truck work but there could be better options. Potentially using some sortof a generator or a truck stationed in a different area and running back andforth. 4-5 groups were using the space.Suggestion:

Feedback of having more food and a second grill in the beer garden to speedthings up.

h. Security

No issues with noise complaints to the town office, reasonable buffer betweenthe party and the homes.8-10 members of the Kinsmen were on site. At 8PM there were 8 Kinsmen at

the beer garden.Having the peace officer in his truck on site at the end of the event made adifference and should be commended.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

Correspondence & Information Page 82 of 120

First aid - no major concerns. Well-situated and well stocked.

i. Pancake Breakfast

i. Well-received. Lots of volunteers. Well attended. Location was great. The hourswere good, some attendees were there early but it worked for most. Fundraiserfor the fetal heart monitor.

Suggestion:

Make it more apparent that it was free. This could be more clear inadvertisements as well as on-site.

j. Canada Day Event at Historical Village

i. Good turn-out. 870 people. Lots for people to do. Lots of ice cream sold.No problem with not being well-attended with the June 30th event. Manypeople attended both and mentioned so.

2. Budget

ii.

3. Other Items

Grants

Red Deer County Grant was received for $1000.Alternative application needed to be put forward before June 19th to theprovince. This has been submitted and is going through the process at this pointin time. Committee members, Tracey and Carla had to rush to be able to get it induring a short period of time.

Budget Review$200 needs to be added for honorarium for the First Aid group.

Where to go from here - Is this worth pursuing again?Feedback was that the town this would be welcomed by the community. It ismissing at this point in time.June 30th event could be popular and it could always coincide with thefireworks.

Great to have an annual event, same date each year works.The June 30 evening should always be the evening before a holiday.Feel like it would be worth giving it another shot.Olds and Search and Rescue are open to taking part again.Su estions:

Continue with the family theme.Add to it for next year. Add rides.Have a charity cook-off. Have challenges for restaurants, sports teams, andother groups.Ball tournament with slip and slide between bases could make for a unique

2016 Legal UpdateOver the past few years, a number ofrural municipalities experienced anincrease in assessment Complaintsrelated to oil and gas wellsites. TwoRARB CARB decisions involvedwellsite assessments in Red Deer

Whereas the Municipal Government Act charges municipalities to provide and sustaina good quality of life for all citizens; and

Whereas health care is an essential quality of life marker for citizens; and

Whereas the Red Deer Regional Hospital plays an essential role within Alberta HealthServices and the Central Alberta zone as a primary health service provider for ourcitizens and regional population; and

Whereas Red Deer Regional Hospital is the fourth most referred-to facility within theAlberta Health Services; and

Whereas in a December 2015 Needs Assessment! of the Red Deer Regional Hospital,Alberta Health Services stated that:

"Programs which are operating either at or beyond capacity within the CentralZone have been targeted, analyzed and described in this Needs Assessment Theseprograms are as follows:

* Interventional. and Procedural Services * Ambulatory Care Services* Emergency Services * Addiction and Mental Health Services* Cardiac Science Services * Clinical Support Services* Maternal Child Services * Non-clinical Support Services" and

Whereas Red Deer Regional Hospital was previously identified in Government ofAlberta infrastructure priorities as the 4th in a list of 17 priorities2; and

Whereas in the 2016 Alberta Health Services Multi-Year Facility Infrastructure CapitalSubmission3, the Red Deer Regional Hospital is no longer identified in the list ofpriorities and was excluded from capital funding; and

Whereas strong community, physician and Red Deer Regional Hospital Foundationsupport for capital hospital expansion in the Central Zone has been identified; and

Open 10-5 weekdays & Saturdays12-5 Sundays and holidaysNo smokingNo pets (except service dogs)No food or drink inside buildingsThank you for helping to preserve our artifacts

Would also include our logo, and match other signs here.We could go with a lesser quality (3 mil) and pay less, but that material is flexible. I believe weshould approve the higher cost, so it will last.

The students have been busy beautifying the yard and buildings. Lots of work is going intoweeding, and beds. The windows on the exterior of the Tearoom are freshly painted, 3 sistersbed is growing well, Jhey worked hard on summer programming. Unfortunately, the Library hasfree summer fun on Thursdays. That may be affecting our attendance. The kids that have comeenjoyed it, but there haven't been a lot. Sundial is fixed, so is the fountain. A group effort wasrequired, but we are happy those things are done. Thank goodness the town supplies freewater so we can keep the grass green, and the flowers happy.

We have a whole list waiting for Bowden Crew - Eavestroughs cleaned and siliconed,Eavestrough replaced on Spruces, shingles replaced on office roof, and a hole in the livery. Aswell, they can build the fire extinguisher boxes required. Taps in the women's bathroom needfixing too. We need to find some tile for the playhouse too, if anyone has a small piece layingaround. The electric outlet on the West side of tearoom exterior doesn't work. Breaker boxdidn't fix it. An electrician maybe if anyone knows one?

Further to the information re new signage: After discussion it was suggested that ShawnPears ask Tyler for a couple of mock-ups of the signs for our approval. This years budget istight, but possibly they could be made for next year.

Dear Mayor Brian Spiller,

In 2016, over 150 municipalities across Canada formally recognized September as Prostate Cancer AwarenessMonth. This year we hope to double this number in order to spread double the awareness about prostatecancer, the most common cancer among Canadian men. Please help us achieve this noble goal by joiningother communities across Canada in a show of solidarity against this terrible disease by officially recognizingSeptember 2017 as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in the municipality of Innisfail.

In addition, I am asking all cities, town, and municipalities, to illuminate any significant landmarks throughoutthe month of September in Prostate Cancer Canada Blue. It can be a bridge, fountain, building, and landmarkfor 1 day or the whole month of September! This show of support will help display the solidarity and muchneeded conversation around testing and early detection. If you are able to illuminate, we ask that you take aphoto and email it to me at mark. mahl rostatecancer. ca post on social media Twitter: @ProstatecancercInstagram: Prostate Cancer Canada

All Proclamations can be emailed to myself and then mailed to Mark Mahl, Executive Director, WesternCanada, Prostate Cancer Canada 1900-1055 West Hastings street, Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9

I have included below a backgrounder on Prostate Cancer Canada and some facts about prostate cancer foryour reference. For further information please go to our website at www. rostatecancer. ca.

Of course, please let me know if you have any questions.

Prostate Cancer Canada Background

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

Correspondence & Information Page 106 of 120

Prostate Cancer Canada is the leading national foundation dedicated to the elimination of the most commoncancer in men through research, advocacy, education, support and awareness. For 22 years, we have investedthe generous donations of Canadians towards funding research that will uncover better diagnostic andtreatment options, and towards providing comprehensive education and support services for those living withand affected by prostate cancer.

Prostate Cancer facts

1 in 7 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

. An estimated 21,300 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017

. An estimated 4, 100 Canadian men will die of prostate cancer in 2017.

Early detection saves lives. When detected early, the survival rate for prostate cancer is over 90%. This iswhy awareness is so important.

Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC) encourages men to initiate a shared decision-making process with theirdoctors around age 40 to discuss their personal risk as well as the harms and benefits of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. That way, men will be better equipped to decide upon an early detectionstrategy that is right for them.

Over the last 20 years, the mortality rate from prostate cancer has been reduced by approximately 40%due to advancements in early diagnosis and treatment.

PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTHSeptember 2017

(Extracted from Keith Ryder's notes)7. 1 RDRMUG's application for a Crown Reservation from unallocated water within

the Red Deer River

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

Correspondence & Information Page 109 of 120

Provide background of request including interaction with past Ministers and work withthe Central Office of Alberta EnvironmentReview reasons for this request.Point out the benefits that a Crown Reservation would provide.Reiterate the support of RDRMUG Members for aggressive Water Conservation.

Response from Alberta Environment: Several changes have taken place withinGovernment since the original application for a Crown Reservation was presented byRDRMUG. There is currently no Government "appetite" to explore or enter intodiscussions relating to any issues that are outside the normal "water business" of theday. The possibility of "selling" future allocations from a Crown Reservation wasexpressed as a concern.RDRMUG is encouraged to maintain the data and information that they have collectedand produced relating to water security for municipalities and should there be a futureneed or change in policy this information would be an asset.Municipal and specifically domestic water supply will always be a priority with AlbertaEnvironment and at this time there are no municipalities within the Red Deer River Basinwho are close to using their licensing amount.In summary it was expressed by the Alberta Environment Officials that RDRMUG is onthe "right track and are encouraged to maintain the conversation relating to future watersecurity.

7.2 Future Storage on the Red Deer River- Discuss past studies and future water needs from the Red Deer River- Review recent studies and modeling.- Water sharing during drought conditions- Request an update from Alberta Environment if there are any reviews relating tofuture storage within the Red Deer River.- Reiterate the importance of long term planning re the storage issue. Drought andmeeting future flow requirements have been expressed by RDRMUG members as apriority issue.Response from Alberta Environment: Future storage on the Red Deer River Basin/s not under consideration at this time. The Water For Life documents state that futurestorage sites must illustrate that the benefit is supported by economic numbers that willwork by being a benefit to significant population numbers. Future drought conditionsare also a concern of Alberta Environment and are also being closely monitored in allbasins.

7. 3RDRMUG Water Quality Action PlanProvide overview of this plan.Discuss challenges and threats to the Red Deer River that have been identified bythe Water Quality Action Plan.

Response from Alberta Environment: Staff acknowledged the work RDRMUG hasdone to date on this project and the documents that have been shared with CentralOffice and now the Edmonton Office. Encouragement expressed to continue to work onthis important project.

infrastructure.

Clarify future responsibilities for continued secure water supply.Response to Alberta Environment: Staff were not able to provide any definiteanswers on this topic. There have been preliminary discussions by ATCO re switchingthe Sheerness Plant to natural gas from the present coal fired generators.... apparentlythis could be realistically completed and thus would probably not affect the current watersupply to communities depending on this facility to provide their drinking water needs.No information was available on what the future economic or employment results wouldbe in this plant switching from coal to natural gas.

G. Champion stated that by 2020 coal-fired operation will be terminated at the plant witheither a change to a natural gas or boiler plant addition to keep the plant operationalthereafter. He further stated that the MP's are touring the plant today and the Ministerof Environment has called a meeting by the end of August.

Alberta Environment staff congratulated RDRMUG for their excellent reporting on issuesrelating to the basin.

7.5 Beaver Problems within RDR Basin

K. Ryder advised that in a letter dated August 12, 2016, Alberta Environment stated,"Beaver management issues within urban municipalities fall under the jurisdiction of localgovernment. Municipalities located along watercourses are responsible for beavermanagement and damage mitigation. Municipalities receive provincial grant funding tosupport beaver management. " K. Ryder further advised that the question put forward toAlberta Environment was what provincial grant funding. He explained that it has nowbeen confirmed with Alberta Environment that the grant funding would be under the MSIoperations grant. The contact is Alberta Forestry and it was their recommendation thatMUG members jointly apply for funding and hire a contract person to catch beavers.Contact is the High Prairie Office (Mark).

Mountain View CountyMargaretha Btoem, Director of Planning and Development ServicesJesstea Ross, Development Officer

Information was provided on the processes involved in setting up a gravel/sand pit frominitiation to permitting. As Mountain View County has come of the "cleanest" gravel inAlberta, they experience a lot of pit activity. Currently, there are 53 municipal and 43private gravel/sand pits in operation within Mountain View County. Due to the fact thatthe pit application process often results in a Subdivision and Development Appeal Boardhearing, a mandatory five year condition review is now in place. This review assesseswhat aspects of the process are working well and which present challenges.

Questions from the Board:

In Response to a question from T. Yemen, M. Bloem advised that anyone may appeal apit application, there is no restriction or maximum distance from the property required.

Discussion was held on pit closures, reclamation and identifying dosed pits forsterilization and development and buffer areas.

Red Deer County. Denise Bedford, Senior Development Officer. Connie Sloan, Development Officer

D. Bedford advised that are currently fifty operational gravel/sand pits in Red DeerCounty. Prior to 1980 permits were not required for pits. tn 1995 the MunicipalGovernment Act was enacted, and Red Deer County dedded to categorize gravel/sandpits as a discretionary use via their Municipal Development Bc»rd, and included anappeal process. It soon became clear that there was a dupfcation of efforts by Red DeerCounty and Alberta Environment regarding the pit approval process. This resulted in thecurrent process of pit applications being provided first to Red Deer County for approvalunder their Land Use Bylaw, then to Alberta Environment for further approval andregulation.

AGENDA ITEM #10.1

Correspondence & Information Page 115 of 120

T. Aasen advised that the rivers in Alberta are gaining in volume, so the Province uses ascience based analysis, to assess the alluvium [deposit of clay, silt, sand, and gravel leftby flowing streams in a river valley or delta, typically producing fertile soil].

D. Wyntjens asked if there is a specific time period for reclamation of the lands once apit is closed. T. Aasen advised that there is no strict timeline for reclamation, but theowners must maintain the code of practice registration.

Discussion was held on the proximity of pits to flowing rivers and dry river beds as wellas reclamation, life spans of pits and the Provincial data base for unregistered pits.

T. Purley presented information regarding the application requirements for gravd/sandpits in Alberta. She advised that the Alberta Water Act applies to all pits of any size,whether public or privately owned. T. Purley advised that operators must submit anupdated activities plan if any changes in the operations occur, and private pits mustsubmit a mandatory report every five years. She advised that a final rectemation reportmust be submitted by the operator, and an inquiry conducted by the Province, before areclamation certificate is issued after a pit is closed. Furthermore, the Province retains thesecurity funds until the inquiry is concluded and the redamation certificate is issued, toensure compliance by the operators.

Discussion was held on monitoring of outfaU, com^sinte triggering pit inspections,noncompliance and enforcement.
