Mr. Leonhardt noted his measurements appear to indicate most of the forced road was taken from the East half (his land) and the only land taken from Mr. Lowen's land is for a dog around the coulee in the South West of 32. Mr. Leonhardt noted he would like to be able to remove the fence from his land and farm his own land He also felt the M D should survey the property and determine the boundaries of his quarter He was advised the M D does not have a surveyor and it would be his responsibility to determine the boundaries of his own land and if the fence is on his property he could remove it He also noted if there is no further need for the forced road south of Mr Lowen's residence, he would like to right to farm the land or purchase it. It was agreed the road committee would inspect the location on Thursday.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT JUNE 27TH, 1988 They feel if the agricultural land base in Alberta was expanded by over 22 million acres and an intensification of production on close to 11 million acres occured Alberta's ag production could increase by $2 5 billion annually. The Drainage Study looked at draining some of the Provinces wetlands to allow for more agricultural uses The Executive Committee recommends a very strong letter be sent to Alberta Environment opposing opening up more of the Province's marginal lands for agricultural uses or the draining of more of the wetlands. It was the Executive's Committee opinion that when marginal land is cleared it creates problems for the areas already used for agricultural production If more trees are cut down it allows more winds to come through the mountains and creates more wind erosion in the areas east of the mountains. It also creates more soil erosion Other countries are now °W experiencing problems because of the loss of their trees and wetlands and Alberta should not create the same problems here, but should learn from others' mistakes. Loss of the trees and -5 wetlands will also create loss of habitat for animals and birds and subsequently a loss of tourism benefits The government must not allow greed to turn the Province into a desert wasteland as has occured in many other countries. 7 (47) Mr Sparrow, Minister of Tourism for the Province has forwarded Tourism Development Network bulletins which outlines plans for use of the tourism action plan money Executive Committee rcommend same be tabled until the entire TGhle matter is reviewed by Council in six months time 8.

R k�nnPrl� After discussion Executive Committee recommend directional signs be erected on the Linden Access Road 9 (45) Alberta Transportation and Utilities issued a news release in connection with tthe provincial grant for the Swalwell Water System The Province will provide $393 750 00 to the M D for the water system. leC Executive Committee recommend to accept and file as information. 10 (44) Mr John Koot owner of NE 16- 30 -25 -4 would like the M.D. to put a second coat of envi robi nd on the road past his property The M D. gravel trucks are using this road as a haul Z d road from the Megli Pit at this time and the envirobind he paid OR s to have put on the road is all gone Executive Committee recommend Oris Rodger check the road and if he feels it is necessary the M D pay for the second coat of dust control 11 (43) Mr. Norman Soder has again requested he be paid on a contract basis as attendant for Keivers Lake As he has been working now for awhile they have had the opportunity to determin e what the job will entail with the self registration system in place and they feel they can draft a contract which will be suitable and cover all aspects of the work required at the park. After discussion the Executive Committee recommend Council approve in principle the concept of paying Mr Soder on a contract basis the office and Mr. Soder draft up an employment contract and the Reeve and Municipal Administrator be given authority to sign the contract if same is deemed suitable by the Parks Committee The Executive Committee then adjourned 11 00 A M Covered 11 items in about 1 112 hours ( 0�01 --------- - - -7 - - - - - - - - - - - - - F h" 4'r rte`{ -T 0 R R -r Q0 4 11 'rYv-_- , -� J C.
