Representatives from the Town of Trochu - Mr Al Gehring Mr Eugene Tepper and
Administrator, Tim Petersen,entered the meeting at this time
MEETING WITH
Mr Gehring read a brief prepared by the Town outlining some concerns the town TAU_
has including the need for additional funds from the M D for recreation and
emergency services and the need NOT to allow rural industrial parks in the M D
The Town feel this type of use must be kept in the urban centers because the
small towns cannot survive without a larger tax base
The M D indicated it must also have a tax base to survive as it is now
paying a large share of other joint sharing agreements such as ambulance
service, the operation of the Golden Hills Lodge and School Requisitions
V\
The possibility of assessment sharing between the urban and rural areas was
briefly mentioned It was noted that the urban areas must provide goods and
services to the local residents7otherwise people will travel to a larger center
to obtain them
There was discussion about the fertilizer set up allowed dust to the south of
Trochu as well as discussion about certain types of uses now operating in the
rural area When these types of uses prosper the business generally moves
into an urban center
Themwas discussion about provision of recreet ion facilities and it was noted
that there are perhaps too many facilities provided for the population being
served
The possibility of tax revenue sharing was again mentioned and the Representatives
from the Town indicated this might have to be looked at if industry was to be
allowed in the rural area
Copies of the report prepared by the Town were given to all councillors of the M D
Mr Gehring indicated that the urban areas will have to come up with better
costing figures for recreation facilities
It was agreed that more discussions between the two areas would be a benefit
and would likely resolve some of the problems
The representatives were thanked for coming and they left the meeting
