CARRIED 7 L E* COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 14th, 1993 Mr Haskell left the meeting at this time Sgt. Gene Kowalczyk and Corporal Jack Fenton from the Three Hills Detachment of the R.0 M P entered the meeting at this time They discussed with council the need to have the roadside screening devices and requested council to re- consider their decision and make a contribution towards the purchase of two units. Corporal Fenton noted Elnora, Delburne and Trochu have agreed to make a contribution and it is very likely the County of Red Deer will do so as well He also noted the cost of the units has gone down and the M D 's share would now be about $500 00 There was discussion about the reasons for council refusing their request. They feel it is the responsibility of the Federal and Provincial Government to provide the necessary equipment for the detachments and by making a donation it may appear to the senior governments the local governments are willing to assume more and more of the costs for providing various kinds of services Corporal Fenton noted the detachment previously had 3 units and will apply for another unit through the provincial funding arrangements However it will likely be 3 or 4 years before even one unit could be obtained from the provincial or federal government They feel very strongly that the units are necessary and will assist in keeping impaired drivers off the roads The $500.00 cost for the M D works out to about 22 cents per capita for the rural people living within the Three Hills Detachment area The Three Hills detachment serves the area from 6 miles south of Three Hills north to Delburne They left the meeting at 2:50 P M The meeting recessed at this time and reconvened at 3.10 P M There was further discussion regarding the request for funds to purchase the roadside screening devices Mrs. Lowen moved the M D contribute a maximum of $500 00 towards the cost of purchase of two roadside screening devices for the Three Hills R C M P detachment and further moved a letter be sent to the appropriate Minister indicating funding for equipment required by the R C M P should be provided by the Province from their provincial liquor revenues CARRIED Mr Marz noted an invitation has been extended to council by M P Louise Feltham to meet with Prime Minister Kim Campbell at Craig's Way Station in Strathmore on September 16th, 1993 Mr Haskell returned to the meeting at this time He noted Lorne Reed advised the cost for TASK 2000 would be $8600 00 for 1 mile of road with a 28 foot top plus the cost of the gravel and he would be willing to do it next year Splitting the test between the Linden Church and 0 MEETING WITH R C M.P ROADSIDE SCREENING UNITS SCn� 1 ✓ Aj 'i ,e �U u ,o MEETING WITH KIM CAMPBELL STRATHMORE 1 9 i 0 0 4 RN COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 14th, 1993 the Linden Nursing Home road was discussed as well as using SB 90 on one road and TASK 2000 on the other Mrs Lowen moved the M D accept the offer from A R M and council approve the application of TASK 2000 on 2 miles of the Linden Church Road, with the costs for one mile to be paid for by the M D and the costs for the second mile to be paid for only if the M D is totally satisfied with the product CARRIED Mr Haskell noted Richardson Brothers confirmed their price for re- crushing the gravel at the Holsworth stock pile site in writing There was lengthy discussion about the 1994 base course road program There is only 2 miles of the Linden Road to be done in 1994 unless the remainding base course for SR 836 is funded by the province If there is no base course projects scheuled for 1994 staff requirements for this winter will have to be reviewed It may not be necessary to have a double shift on the gravel crew this winter if there is no base course gravel to move At this time the Province will not make any committment for the project and will not fund crushing the gravel required for the remainder of the road There was discussion about the need to base course the Buffalo Jump Park Road and whether the Province would fund any portion of this project Stockpiling the base course gravel would take quite some time as it would be a long haul up to that road. Perhaps the entire road could be done in three stages of 4 miles each or if the Province will not re -build the last 2 miles of the road, in two stages of 5 miles each There was also discussion about whether the M D should contract out the base course work. Is the M D base course crew large enough to be efficient? Perhaps council should look at negotiating some type of cost sharing with the Province for re- construction of the last 2 miles and for 12 miles of base course However this will take time and a decision must be made about staff requirements soon It was agreed the office should determine what it would cost to do a maximum of 5 miles of base course on the Buffalo Jump Park road in 1994 and the amount of gravel which would have to be crushed and stockpiled this winter and the matter be discussed again at the next meeting of council Mr Jeffery noted the public works committee of the Town of Three Hills will meet tomorrow to discuss the Three Hills Transfer Site issue and will discuss the matter with the M D again at a later date Mr Haskell asked if someone should be appointed to be in charge of compliance with the MUST program The M D fuel tanks have now been licenced and certain things must be complied with over the next 3 years The draft resolution regarding the reviewed Various suggestions were changing the resolution 2 MUST program was then put forth about ttv}tr lac 1994 I BASE COURSE PROGRAM i THREE HILLS TRANSFER✓ SITE MUST PROGRAM 0 V sef L•` n COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 14th, 1993 1 Small business should be able to retain a 500 gallon overhead tank without the need for a berm 2 The need to have a fire rated cement stand for a tank that is higher than 30 CM should be revoked Seems to be mixing fire and environmental protection regulations. 3 Farm tanks must remain exempt 4 Exemption for tanks up 2500 liters is not sufficient Should be raised to 5000 liters Mr. Vickery moved the resolution be re- drafted taking into R�r consideration the comments made, Executive Committee reviewG� the re- drafted resolution and make a recommendation to c council and further moved Alex Cunningham and Keith Smith be appointed as a committee to ensure the MUST regulations are -A lied with `tee Y" ci CARRIED Mr Marz reported on the CAAMD & C executive meeting held here last Friday Fall general meeting is scheduled for October` Sth in Castor Curling bonspiel will be held in Kneehill in January Mr Marz moved acceptance of this report CARRIED Mr Haskell left the meeting at this time - 4.35 P M Mr Cunningham entered the meeting Mr Hoff noted the Province is considering quite seriously doing away with some and perhaps all of the regional planning commissions This would put the responsibility for controlling planning at the local level At the present time the Province contributes about $400,000.00 towards Palliser Regional Planning Commission's budget Mr Hoff also noted the County of Paintearth is planning to move from the Red Deer Planning Commission area over to the Palliser Region Mr Jeffery reviewed the recommendation from the Municipal Planning Commission regarding fees for development permits, public hearings and development appeals Mrs Lowen moved to table this matter until the next meeting of council CARRIED Mr Marz and Mr. Cunningham reviewed the information they received at a seminar they attended concerning the newEnvironmental Protection Act.
