Mr. G. G. King acted as Chairman of the meeting i at the request of his Council. He introduced the visiting speakers: 214x. A. Morrison, Deputy-Rinister of 11unicipal Affairs and Mr. A. W. Wetter, Assistant Director of School Administration. 11r. Morrison gave the main address, some of the high- lights of which 'were: 1. A brief review of the County System in Alberta since the first County was formed in 1950 until the present time when there are 17 Counties. There are still 31 !--�unicipal Districts. 2. Application for a County may be made by either the Board of a School Division or the Council of a Municipal District ort preferably7 by both. If it is by one Board only they should have evidence of public support by means of a resolution at the annual meeting or some other such means. 3. Hospital business may be included under the County 3ystem if desired but for Municipal Hospitals only. The County Council would appoint the members to which the County is entitled and these members would then form a separate Board with its own office or offices and staff! etc. 4. (members of the County Council would be elected by the people of the -County in a manner similar to that now used for election of Councillors. The numbers of members would be fixed at any odd number from 7 to 11, with either 7 or 9 being considered best. Divisional boundaries would be used for nomination and election purposes only. 5. The County Council would administer both school and :Municipal business from one office and with one staff. They can divide into committees though in some cases the -dhole Council is acting on both the School and Municipal committees. school affairs: 6. Town and Village representation for In this particular area the Three Hills own School District would be entitled to one member on the School Comm. The Villages of Trochu, Carbon and Acme would be entitled to a _h total of 2 members so these would have to rotate. "" ese would be elected by the people of the Town or ",ri'llage School Districtt would serve a term of 2 years, and would be entitled to vote on all matters affecting school affairs. 7. 3stimates and Budgets: -Each committee would bring in its recommendations but the actual setting of the budget and mill rates would have to be done by the County Council. No over -exp enditur e could be allowed without special -authority. 8. Efficiency: General administration costs have been slightly lower; time spent by County Councillors has been lower than that of Municipal Councillors; the County Council should set the general policy, lay out the work, etc., and then rely on trained men to administer these policies. 9. Satisfaction: After 1+ years of operation as a CourV,;yg a vote may be requested by la I, or m re of the ratepayers as to whether or not to continue as a ounty. In. each case xxx where a vote has been held the County has received support. 14r. .setter spoke briefly and particularly pointed out that the administration of a Separate School 'District would not in any way be affected by the formation of a County. see page 2 COM1,4TY 8Y6T-EtI*r,! Page 2 A good question period followed, with the answers by ?,Ir. Morrisor. or Mx.
