TONER SITE
four acre site is required Mr Cunningham noted they had
offered Mr Haseltine $1000.00 for the 4 acres, and he
indicated he would not sell the land for that, but would be
interested in a long term lease
The merits of purchase as opposed to leasing the site was
discussed and Council generally agreed they would not
favour leasing a site.
Mr Hoff moved the committee of Mr Vickery and Mr
Cunningham be given authority to negotiate purchase of 4
acres of land for a radio site at a price not to exceed
$1000 00 per acre
CARRIED
There was discussion about M D policy concerning newspaper PLD NEWSPAPER

POLICY
Mr Jeffery requested council consider the policy used when
buying land for road widening The existing policy uses a
formula for 1/4 of 10% of the farm land assessment LAND BUYING
However since the new general assessment the formula should POLICY
be reviewed. Mr Jeffery noted the average assessment in ETC
the M D is now about $23,000 00
Under the previous assessment the average was $30,000 3
There was lengthy discussion regarding same �vo
Mr Boake moved the M D adopt the following formula for

including the 3 acre site value on a residential quarter,
divided by 3 5, and further moved the policy regarding
paying for a minimum of one acre be retained, the minimum

COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, JUNE 23rd, 1992
The request from Lawrence Hogg to drain a slough on N W
3- 35 -24 -4 was discussed The slough runs over the M D
road and they cannot use the road to get to their land in
the County of Red Deer It was agreed Mr Rodger should
take some levels at this location and report back to
council as to possible costs involved and whether draining
the slough as suggested will solve the problem
Councillor Hogg wished council to discuss the idea of
putting Envirobind on the St Ann s Ranch road from the
Town of Trochu boundary to the bridge The road
going down the hill is very rough and when Envirobind was
used in previous years, it kept the road in better shape as
well as cutting down the dust The traffic to St Ann s
Ranch is becoming heavier each year
It was noted there is a toll cable running down that road
so cable locates would have to be done before any work is
done on the road
There was discussion regarding priorities established
previously by council for the various projects to be done
as time permits Mr. Jeffery noted repairing the Opinec
corner in Division 1 and installation of the Varga
equalizer culvert were priority items 1 and 2 on the list

COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, JUNE 23rd, 1992
CARRIED
Mr Davies provided council with information regarding
Section 78 of the Planning Act which prohibits a second
residence on a parcel of land which is less than 80 acres
in size, unless the second residence is required for farm
help The Province has given authority to the Development
Officers /Municipal Planning Commission to waive this
section of the act if they so choose Council should
provide the Municipal Planning Commission with guidelines
as to when and under what circumstances a waiver of this
section of the Act would be appropriate In previous
years the Development Appeal Board had allowed a second
residence on a parcel less than 80 acres in size on a
temporary basis for compassionate reasons, such as the need
to have an elderly parent close to the family, or the need
to have a child living on site to help the parents with
maintenance of the acreage. The effects of allowing
development of more residences on small parcels of land in
the rural area, as well as the effect it might have on
urban centers, extra costs which would be incurred by the
municipality, possibility of a hamlet being created and
other concerns were discussed at length
There was also discussion about the Dunphy Kirkpatrick area
structure plan, the size of country residential parcels of
land which can be created under the existing M.D. land use
by -law, new health regulations regarding the area required
for a septic tank and field, and potential for
environmental damage
Mr Mueller moved to table this matter to the next meeting
of council
CARRIED
Mayor Bob Robertson, Jack Ramsden, Administrator and Terry
Nash, Assistant Administrator, from the Town of Three
Hills, together with Val Kopjar and David Nadeau, entered
the meeting at this time
Mr Ramsden noted the Town of Three Hills has a recycling
project in operation which is run by volunteers The
volunteers are overworked and the Town is looking for some
support, financial or otherwise, to help them with their
project The town is negotiating to acquire the fertilizer
warehouse at the old Esso bulk station site on C N right
of way
Mrs Kopjar noted they require a driver to go to the small
towns and villages to pick up cardboard and paper The
group has a one ton truck, with a large box and tarp Alot
of businesses would take their cardboard boxes to a central
depot in their town or village but are not prepared to
bring the material to Three Hills The present volunteers
do not have time to pick up the material as well as sort
and bale it There was discussion about possible time
committment for such a driver and a rough estimate would be
one day a week to cover the south area and one day the next
week to cover the north area if there was a central drop
off established in each town or village Mrs Kopjar
noted the group are not making any money because they do
not get enough material

COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, JUNE 23rd, 1992
Mr Ramsden noted the Town will be contributing $100 00 a
month for the warehouse once the sub -lease is arranged,
plus accepting liability for the building Last year the
Town contributed $1800 00 There is grant money available
but most of the grants must be spent for some specific item
or project and not for general expenses
Mrs Kopjar noted their existing building does not have
heat or washrooms so it would not be suitable for use in
winter time
Mr. Ramsden noted the town crew is trying to pick up the
cardboard boxes separately from the rest of the garbage
which is a cost to the Town
Mrs. Kopjar noted she has not received any feedback from
the Town of Trochu or a committment to the re- cycling
project, but some of the hamlets and villages indicated
they might be prepared to participte perhaps by providing a
central depot but cannot afford the cost of collecting and
delivering the material to Three Hills
She noted they collect paper, cardboard and plastic right
now, grocery plastic and newspaper They are investigating
the possibility of collecting any kind of plastic liquid
containers - bleach bottles, milk cartons, etc , but the
industry will not take them as yet.
Mr Nadeau noted as they do not own the building they are
using now, they are not prepared to take walls out and
build bins to hold plastic containers Plastic containers
cannot be shredded, they can only be crushed, as the
re- cyclers must know what kind of plastic was used The
industry will not take shredded paper either, because
shredding cuts the fibre
Mr Rodger left the meeting at this time - 3 55 P M
Mrs Kopjar noted the M D forklift is no longer being used
by the group as they have their own
There was discussion about the Federal and Provincial grants
which are available for re- cycling projects and the
difficulty accessing same
Mr Nadeau noted if communities could be convinced to take
newspaper and cardboard, which are the money makers, to a
central depot for pick up and delivery to Three Hills, it
would be to everyone's benefit because there would be less
garbage in the landfill sites
People are really interested in doing this, but only to a
certain degree The re- cycling group must take it the rest
of the way.
Perhaps the M D might consider sharing the cost of the
fuel for the pick up truck Fuel, maintenance and
liability insurance for the vehicle will be a cost andthe
group cannot do much more without some money
It was noted the City of Drumheller is charging $1 00 per
month on their utility bills to help with their re- cycling
project costs
C
COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, JUNE 23rd, 1992
There was further discussion about the old fertilizer
warehouse and Mr Ramsden noted Esso will give the town
the building for $1 00, and would sub -lease the land to
the Town for about $100 00 per month, and if the keylock
is eventually moved the Town would take over the lease
of the land The building is suitable for the project and
the lease amount will cost about $1200.00 to $1600 00 per
year
Council agreed they would discuss this matter and get back
to the Town in due course
Mr Jeffery asked about the hours for the transfer site
Mr Ramsden handed out copies of the letter from the Town
regarding this matter The Town is not prepared to
spend the extra money required to have the site open 5 days
a week They felt the proposed change to the hours and
days the site would be open only be for the summer and in
the winter the site would be open 3 days a week as before
The proposed change is a reaction to the contractors who
cannot get into the site when they need to Mr. Ramsden
suggested there is a need to get together and discuss the
hours, and the responsiblities - what is expected of the
attendant The Town is concerned as they want to be able
to continue to operate their site as long as possible
Their costs would be much higher if they had to have the
garbage hauled to Drumheller. They want to make sure their
own facility is operated as close to Environment's
standards as possible Mr Ramsden asked for an
opportunity to get together and discuss some of his own
concerns on that position He also indicated perhaps some
of it might be their fault - perhaps lack of proper
instruction given to the attendant He felt when people
go into the landfill site they should be advised where the
material is to be put
There was further discussion regarding the proposed hours
and the M D felt it would be better to leave the attendant
on 7 or 8 hours a day for 3 days a week rather than extend
the number of days he is required to work for only 4 more
hours a week
Mr. Ramsden felt to go back to the previous hours would not
solve their concerns They had alot of unhappy people in
the town - handyman construction type trademens who were
unhappy with the hours and they want to provide more
service to their people The town would have to weigh the
response from the people and the cost of a full
time person five days a week Perhaps would have to look
at another way to man their site
There was discussion about
previously - both the Town
attendant and were responsible
Having one attendant looking
cut payroll costs in half.
how the site was manned
and the M D had their own
for their own employee
after both sites would have
There was discussion about what days would be suitable to
have the site open as far as contractors are concerned
Perhaps change the three days, go to a 4 day week
- perhaps Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday which
would be a 32 hour week or a 7 hour 4 day week

Mr Ramsden agreed he would discuss the matter again with
those who expressed concern to him about the hours, but the
Town was definitely not interested in a 5 day 40 hour week
Mr Marz indicated the M D would likely prefer full days
rather than half days and perhaps 4 days instead of 3
Mrs Kopjar requested the M D consider some type of
assistance for their re - cycling group
Mrs. Kopjar and Mrs Nash left the meeting at this time.
There was discussion about the letter from the Town
concerning the main street improvement program and the town MAIN STREET
has indicated it is not prepared to pay the M.D. for the INPROVETMF R
sidewalk which was put in by the M D during office PROG1
renovations. The Town was advised the M D council do not
wish to see the sidewalk in front of the office torn up
this summer as part of the main street sidewalk program SIDEAX
IN FRONT
Mr Jeffery asked Mr. Ramsden if the Town would be ripping M.D BUILDING
up the entire sidewalk
Mr Ramsden indicated they are unable to consider any
alternative construction plans or funding proposals at this
4 time They have not received the profiles for the project
as yet, and cannot say if they could make a change or not -
it is too early
There was discussion about the project, the concern the
M D council has with ripping up a brand new sidewalk which
was paid for by the M.D. ratepayers and the suggestion made
to three M D councillors that the Town would reimburse the
M D when they received their 1992 grant if the M D. put
the sidewalk in during construction.
Mr Ramsden stated his memory of the discussions was that
he would take it to his council and perhaps there was fault
on their side for not advising the M D in writing
ri that the town would not repay the M.D. for the sidewalk
before the sidewalk construction was undertaken
There was discussion about the costs incurred by the M D.
and Mr Robertson asked if the M D felt the main street
improvement program should start to the east of the M D
building and leave this block out of the program?
It was indicated to Mr Robertson the sidewalk should not
be torn out and the comment in the Town's letter to the
M D that they were counting the M D. 's letter as a No
Vote" was correct
Mr Ramsden indicated the Town would be looking at the
design and if they can salvage something it would be looked
