ADJOURN (Timel of adjournment: 5.40 p m ) ve :sec . -Treas DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH - RECREATION MEETING MAY 15, 1968 Page 1 Representatives from the following met at the Office of the M D of Kneehill No 48, Three Hills, on May 15th commencing at 8 00 P.M.* M D of Kneehill Towns of Three Hills b Trochu Villages of Acne, Carbon, Linden & Torrington Mr Gerald A Bruce, Area Recreation Consultant of the De- partment of Youth was present to represent that Department and to bring information of its program, grants available, etc Mr. Dune Peters acted as Chairman of the meeting and Mr. G. G. King as Secretary. Mr. G King outlined briefly the purpose of the meeting, this being to inform the Council members of the program available, of the policies of the Department, and of the grant structure. Mr Gerald Bruce then addressed the meeting and particularly referred to the following: I Municipality with a Recreation By -Law - $1.00 per capita grant is available each year for recreational purposes with 70¢ allocated for professional or qualified recreation people, 20¢ for maintenance of facilities and 10¢ for training. II Capital Expenditures - The grant is available once every five years, with the first grant period being from April 1st/68 to Apr.:il lst/73 The amount of the grant is $8.00 per capita for the first 1,000 and $3 00 per capita for the next 20,000. This money, subject to approval, may be used to add to an existing facility, to pay off debentures, to build a new recreation facility, etc There must be a definite plan of action recommended by the Recreation Board and approved through Council. III Future Planning - Any municipality may co- operate with other municipalities or it may proceed on its own. There is a one time only grant of 50¢ per capita as an admini- stration grant to help with the organization. Considerable discussion followed with the following noted* Form For The Grant Applications - Mr. Bruce stated that the final form has not been drafted, the one which Three Hills has was a preliminary one only Must Money Be Spent For Capital Items Before Any Grant is Received? Answer - This is not intended. The project also needs approval of the �Iphysical consultant" of the Department. Mr Bruce was asked for further details regarding the 70¢ referred to above in item I He outlined the requirements for the qualified person as one with special education and training; if not hired, the 70¢ can be added to the 10¢ for training, thus making 80¢ of each dollar available for this. Part I is a matching deal on a $1 00 for $1 00 basis Mr. Bruce stated that he would prefer this area having a full- time Recreation Director who would assist in the organization and help train others However, it would be possible to have a number of part -time directors He stated that the County of Camrose has a one full -time director and one assistant but he was not sure as to whether or not the City of Camrose was involved. See Page 2 RECREATION MEETING 14AY 15, 1968 Page 2 Mr Bruce was asked if it would be possible to form a general Committee and to call on him for advice as a Consultant He agreed this would be a good starting point. Mr Peters called on representatives of the various Munici- palities represented to express their opinions This brought out the following and other information. TROCHU - Consider extending the area to the North and East so as to include Elnora, Rumsey, etc It was suggested to them that they take this up with the County or Municipal District concerned They have a Recreation Board now. The main concern of each Town is to look after recreation for it-5 immediate area, there is not too much concern about what is dome in any other Town or Village They asked if the Training Grant might be used to help pay the expenses of those going away for figure skating lessons but who come back and give lessons without charge. The answer was 49yes" The main problem is the cost of operation of the facilities. ACME - There is no Recreation Board to date but they would likely be willing to form one They had a meeting at acme and also came to this one so as to get guidance on the best procedure LINDEN - If one committee looked after the whole area, how flexible would be the allocation of funds? Mr Bruce stated that the principle is that it is best to use the grants where they are most needed, all capital costs could even go to one place CARBON - They express concern about the cost of hiring; a qualified Director. Mr. Bruce stated that the cost of a University Graduate might be $8,000 plus and for a person trained at Mt. Royal, $4,800 plus. Mr. Bruce stated that he is willing to give help but his available time is limited, as his area goes from the east to the west border of Alberta and from Nanton in the south to Red Deer in the north. OTHERS - These stated that they are very interested in organizing and appreciate the information now being made available Mr. G. King stated that it appeared to him that there would be considerable difficulty in establishing one Recreation Board to serve this whole area and to get the kind of co- operation that would be needed under such an organization. He asked if each Town and Village could form its own Recreation Board and then the Council of the M D might assist each on a formula basis somewhat similar to that used the last two years. Mr Bruce was advised that $7,500 of rural M D. funds had been allocated to the Towns and Villages; the formula had provided a basic amount for each and the balance had been based on the population for various trading areas Mr Bruce stated that he thought the procedure referred to above would be acceptable as long as other requirements were met by each Town or Village. Each Municipality represented agreed that this suggestion be adopted, and that written agreements be drawn up for consideration See Page 3 k RECREATION MEETING W-y 1$, 1968 Based on a rural population figure of 6,260, the gross amount that might be available from the rural Municipal District is. Training, etc. Part III Organizing TOTALS 3.130. 3.130. $33,170 $L39,430. The main items that should be included in an agreement between the Municipal District and the various Towns and Villages were then discussed. Mr G King agreed to prepare a draft copy of an agree- ment and to send ten copies to each Municipality for study and criticism. (these are enclosed) It was also agreed -That Mr. Gerald Bruce be included in any Board discussions in regard to capital expenditures -That a general meeting of all the Boards be held in the fall. -That a general meeting at Council level be held next February Mr Gerald Bruce stated that he thought this meeting was a real good beginning and he appreciated the opportunity of being here and taking part in the discussions Mr Dunc Peters thanked Mr Gerald Bruce and all who had attended for their interest and co- operation. The meeting then closed at approx 10:30 p m G G King Acting Secretary 1.GREEMENT -- RECREATION THIS AGREEMENT is made in duplicate this day of 1968, between the following municipalities- The Municipal District of Kneehill No 48 with Office at Three Hills, Alberta, hereinafter referred to as the Municipal District, - AND - The Town or Village of , hereinafter referred to as the Town or Village The Town or Village shall establish a Recreation Board by By -Law This Board must consist of not less than five nor raore than seven members, of which not less than two members shall be from the rural area adjacent to the Town or Villageti The Municipal District shall, in addition, be permitted to appoint one member of its Council to the Board The other rural members referred to above are to be selected by the Town or Village Council All Board members may be named by resolution, The Municipal District shall be given a copy of the Recreation By -Law of the Town or Village.
