CARRIED Mr Cunningham reviewed the report he prepared regarding gravel testing done at the Megli Pit and on Hutterian GRAVEL Brethren of Valleyview land. TESTING The testing at the Megli Pit was discussed at length There are 3 locations on the N E of 10 which showed some gravel but there is a limited amount of gravel in this area and there would be a considerable amount of overburden which would have to be moved He estimated about 34,443 cubic yards of gravel and some of it would be under water The reclamation work has been done on the N W of 10. Testing was also done on the N E 9 which belongs to Harvey M Toews There is some gravel on Mr. Toews land - possibly 10,000 cubic yards and taking this along with the gravel in the Megli Pit would make it easier to properly reclaim both areas It was noted as there is still crushed gravel stockpiled on the Megli Pit site, if the lease is not renewed, it will be 5 i 9 COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27th, 1992 necessary to have a stock pile site agreement with Mr Esau or the gravel will have to be moved Mr Esau sent a letter to the M.D last December providing one year's notice of cancellation of the lease.

However only 24,000 yards is above water and the rest would be under water The M D could pump down the water and remove the gravel or remove it with a high hoe Using the high hoe would be expensive, and the cost to pump would be about 8 cents per cubic yard of gravel removed Mr Cunningham noted there would be considerable costs involved to reclaim the Hutterian Brethren pit area as they just pushed the dirt up out of the way Mr Cunningham was requested to make up a report on the amount of gravel available and the costs which would be incurred for reclamation of this area Mr Marz noted he and Mr Hoff will have to meet with the Hutterian Brethren again with regard to the proposed purchase of this land r G Mr Boake moved to table this matter until further information is available from Mr Cunningham, Mr Hoff and Mr. Marz CARRIED Mr Rodger noted there is a gravel ridge north west of the Schmautz Pit and perhaps the M D should try to get a gravel lease so the area could be tested Mr Cunningham left the meeting at this time There was discussion regarding whether the M D should be involved and incurring the cost of removing blow dirt from REMOVAL ditches Should this be the responsibility of the BLOW DIRT farmer? If the blow dirt is not affecting the condition FROM DITCHES of the M D road should the M D incur the cost of moving the dirt back on to the farmer's land It was suggested no . policy be implemented at this time D c L•' E 0 COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27th, 1992 Mr Hoff moved to accept and file as .information.

The condition of the road near Cunninghams was discussed It appears due to the boggy nature of the land under the road the only way to eliminate the soft spots would be to dig out the road One soft spot was dug out and fixed and now there is a soft spot on both sides of this area It was suggested the road be signed - Rough Break - to warn people about the soft spots Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Ivan Berreth entered the meeting at this time - 3.20 P M Mr Rodger and Mr Haskell left the meeting at this time Mr Berreth discussed with Council his request to rent space on the M D radio tower north of Carbon He noted he has applied for a subdivision for his farmsite on the S W 3- 30 -23 -4 and if the subdivision sells he will have to move his radio tower and repeater He would like to move his repeater over to the M D tower site instead of having to put up another tower and run power to a new site There was discussion about rental rates paid for a commercial tower operation. Mr Berreth indicated he would be willing to pay between $1000 00 to $1200 00 per year Mr Berreth was advised it is not the practice of the M D. to compete with private enterprises Mr. Cunningham noted the M D system is set up for adding other systems and it would not interefere with the operation of the M D system Mr. Berreth could go on the tower, put up his own antenna and be totally separate or go on the M D antenna but have his own repeater and have filters to stop any interference with the M D system. Either way it should not affect the MD operation His system would have to be installed in the M.D building and Mr. Cunningham described how the filter system would work The tower was designed to hold 6 antennas and there is presently 3 there now There is one antenna at 190 feet, one at the 200 foot for the auto patch, the repeater is at 290 feet and at 100 foot there is the amateur radio antenna It was noted the School Division is presently renting space from Mr Berreth for their radio system.

Mr Berreth noted he did not feel his system would interfere with the M D. system as it is very close now and has not been a problem in the past Mr. Berreth was thanked for coming and he left the meeting Mr Jeffery read the letter from the Three Hills School Division The division is asking permission to use the M D tower for their radio system. Mr Cunningham noted the Three Hills School Division are asking to move on to the M D tower and use the M D frequency as they do not have a frequency of their own at this time - they use Mr. Berreth s frequency The M.D would have to install tone boards to cut out the School Division conversations, and it would tie up the M D radio when the School Division was using their radios Mr. Price discussed with council the School Division's request The division would have much better coverage if allowed to use the M D system Mr Cunningham noted he had received a call from the company putting up the new tower They would be interested in purchasing the Carbon tower if the M D was going to dispose of it after the new tower was put up They would use it for a cellular phone system They noted they had purchased tower sites from other municipalities and as part of the agreement allowed the municipality to stay on the tower at no cost Mr Wagstaff moved Ivan Berreth be allowed to rent space on the M D tower at a cost of $1200 00 per year plus G S T , subject to entering into an written lease agreement with the M.D and such agreement to include among other things the following conditions- the rental rate to be reviewed on an annual basis, the M D not to incur any costs as a result of moving his system on to the M D radio tower, or operating his radio business from the M.D tower or as a result of any damages or losses he may incur as a result of using the M D tower, he is to carry sufficient insurance, including liability insurance, and enter into a save harmless agreement with the M D and the M D would provide him with 30 days written notice of termination of the agreement if for any reason the M D wish to 'terminate the agreement 0 r THREE HILLS SCHOOL DIVISION REQUEST TO USE M D RADIO SYSTEM I BERRETH REOUEST le�t2r Sen C J n COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27th, 1992 CARRIED Mr Hoff moved the Three Hills School Division be allowed to make use of the M D radio frequency and tower at an annual rental equivalent to costs incurred by the M D as a result of their use of the system, and on condition that no costs be incurred by the M D as a result of moving to the M D system, no liability be incurred by the M D as a result of the Division s use of the system, the School Division carry sufficient insurance, including liability insurance, on their radios and equipment, and the Division have no more than 10 radios using the M D frequency, and further the agreement may be terminated on 90 days written notice if problems develop as a result of their use of the M D frequency and system.

Whether the M D would be purchasing a new loader was also discussed and it was agreed the Capital Committee should met on Friday, October 30th Mr Rodger and Mr Haskell suggested it might be better to crush the gravel at the pit and stock pile the crushed gravel rather than hauling out the pit run Mr. Hoff moved the motion made at the previous meeting to haul out the pit run from the Jan Blackie pit be rescinded, the M D crush a maximum of 60,000 yards at the Jan Blackie pit - 40,000 yards of one inch and 20,000 yards of 3/4 inch - and the crushed gravel be hauled out and stock piled and further moved the crushed gravel be tested to ensure the quality will be satisfactory for use on SR 836, at a maximum cost of $700.00 CARRIED Mr Rodger was asked to get quotes for purchase of a 5 yard loader for the upcoming capital committee meeting Mr Jeffery was asked to contact Linden Contractors and get a price for crushing at the Blackie pit and a confirmation of when the crushing could be done.
