COUNCIL MEETING JULY 24th, 1984
P 3
A delegation from the hamlet of Swalwell entered the meeting at this time
to discuss water problems in the hamlet
Mr Cunningham also entered the meeting at this time SWALWELL
DELEGATION
The delegation was comprised of Mrs Kay Elliott, Mrs Shirley Webb, REQUEST FOR
Mr and Mrs Wes Gore, Mrs K Bloomfield and Mrs Debbie Leudy WATER SYSTEM
Mrs. Elliott advised council that the wells in Swalwell vary from
a good supply to a poor supply but the biggest problem is the quality of
the water Many people are using a water distiller and they were
also concerned about the lack of fire protection for the hamlet
She also noted that some people haul water in for drinking purposes
Mr Cunningham reviewed for the delegation the estimated costs prepared
by Mr Matt Bergman, of Stanley & Associates Cost for a well
system estimated $450,000 00 and cost for a reservoir and water
treatment plant would be $470,000 00 Fire Protection for the hamlet would cost $180,000 00
over and above the above noted figures Number of residents in the hamlet
is estimated at 67 and there are about 32 homes or businesses which might
utilitize the water services The province would provide a grant which
would be based on the number of residents in the hamlet The total front
footage in the hamlet is 7800 feet and the estimated foot footage charge
for the well system is $5 80 based on a 20 year debenture and for the
water treatment system $6 20 per front foot The cost for the fire protection
would be an additional $3 40 per front foot The estimated frontage charge
for a 100 foot lot would be $920 00 per year for 20 years
Mr Cunningham also noted that of the 7800 front footage,3181 feet would
be vacant lots
Mrs Wilkinson advised the delegation they would be advised later as to
whether a petition would be required from the land owners or whether
they could request a plebesite vote to be held
The delegation wondered if the M D might be able to assist with the
costs for the system LIGHT COAT
Mrs Shirley Webb asked if the M D would proceed with the light coat surfacing SURFACING
for the streets if the water sytem was to be proceeded with, and it was FOR SWALWELL
agreed that the surfacing would then not be done for possibly two or three STREETS
years after the system was completed in order to allow the streets to settle 64
Mrs Webb also asked if the M D might consider putting calcium chloride CAL CHLORIDE
on the north boundary road of the hamlet as the dust is very bad and NORTH BOUND.
especially so when the M D gravel trucks are hauling gravel from the Megli Pit ; -ROAD IN
SWALWELL
Council agreed they would discuss the possibilty of calcium chloride for
this stretch of road and should the system be requested by a majority of landowners
in the hamlet they would then consider the possibility of some financial
assistance from the M D towards the system
The delegation advised council they would likely have a general meeting
with the hamlet residents and discussthe matter further. Mr Cunningham
was requested to give the delegation copies of the estimated figures from
Stanley & Associates, the delegation was thanked for coming and they left the
meeting
Mr Cunningham left the meeting at this time 11.30 A M ANDREWS
Mr Doug Hazelton and Mr George Rempel entered the meeting at this time to LOWEN
discuss with council the need to improve the operation of the Andrews Lowen PIT
Pit and also the need to set up some definite plan for the pit as the renewal lease
on the land might be granted only for a two year period, and may terminate
at that time
Mr Code noted Mrs Blackie, daughter of Mr Jack Lowen is the new owner of the
land and she is considering constructing a new home on this land in two or three
years. The costs incurred in getting out all the available gravel in a two
year period would be tremendous and would likely provide a 25 -30 year supply of
gravel for that area It was generally agreed that some further testing
should be done on the other Lowen Estate Pit on the north side of the hill
Following lengthy discussion of this matter, it was agreed that council or a
committee of council must review the situation in more detail and come up with
some definite plans before commencing work on the road into the site or before
a decision is made as to the number of yards of gravel to be removed within the
next year or two

RE- ALIGN-
Mr Monty McGregor from Alberta Transportation entered the meeting at this time MENT
1.30 P M to discuss various matters with Council OF SR 575
Mr McGregor reviewed with council a proposed new alignment for SR 575 by the WEST OF
Grainger Bridge The new alignment would require installation of a new bridge ACME
at a different location He indicated Alberta Transportation would likely
complete the survey of the road this winter if Council was agreeable to the
realignment of the road, would start the work of relocation of the bridge in the
winter of 1985 and the actual road construction work would be started likely in 1986
He noted the road would have to be put back to a gravel road before starting the
road construction as the present light coat surface is too narrow and the road
will have to be widened before paving The plans are for a 9 meter paved surface
Mr Hoff noted that the culvert west of the Mel Ralston feed lot will have to be
lowered when the road is re- constructed as the culvert is too high and does not
drain all the water from his feed lot area The grading and the bridge
relocation will likely cost about $1,300,000.00 - not including the base course
and paving costs Mr McGregor indicated that if this project proceeds
the M D would be responsible for purchase of the road widening, cost of moving
utilities, fences and powerlines The road work would be contracted out and
done under the supervision of Alberta Transportation Mr McGregor was requested
to supply the M D with a copy of the proposed re- alingment so that some

preliminary invesigations could be undertaken to see if the new
alignment would be suitable with regard to existing houses, gas lines etc
Mr McGregor noted that the existing bridge on SR 575 will likely be moved to a location
near Linden
Mr McGregor advised Council that if the council puts out a contract for
bid for a project which qualifies for a government grant, the council
must accept the lowest tender in order to obtain the government grant monies
Mr McGregor discussed various other road projects with council and noted
that SR 575 from Hesketh east will be paved this summer Contract has been
awarded and the gravel will come from the Garson Pit There was discussion
about use of the SR837 road from the Garson Pit and Mr. McGregor noted
that the government will attempt to return the haul road to the same condition
it was in when the haul started
Mr Maerz asked Mr McGregor about the M D request for pavement for the
road through P B I - 6th Avenue North - and Mr McGregor noted this was
a difficult request and although it has been looked at, the request does not
fit into the department's grant structure and it is doubtful the request
for assistance would be gpproved
There was discussion concerning the use of or sale of the abandoned railway
right of way land and Mr McGregor noted nothing much has been done about
it at this time It was noted that this indecision may delay improvements
planned for the Dinasour Trail
Mr Hoff then thanked Mr McGregor for coming and he left the meeting - Time 2 20 P M

apply for 3urisdi.ction over the west boundary road The Town indicated that
the board order issued stated that once the Town has subdivided off the land
for its industrial area the land not required for industrial purposes should be
returned to the M D , and perhaps that it the reason why the road was not included
in the original application for annexation Inclusion of the road in this
application was not considered The town also indicated that it would be easier
for the M D to maintain the road as their equipment is not set up for that type of
road maintenance, however should the board give the road to the town they would
maintain it or arrange an agreement with the M D to pay the cost for such maintenance.
There was discussion conerning 6th Avenue and the amount of money expended on that

street assistance in the area of PBI should the annexation be approved
The Town also requested the M D to donate the lot in Grantville presently used as
a play park to the Town of Three Hills The situation concerning the land on
which the dump boxes and the pesticide container site are located was also discussed

land
Various other items were discussed briefly and the M D requested the Town consider
refunding to the M D about half of the funds expended by the M D on 6th Avenue North
