STAFF
Saturday Their assistance was much appreciated
RE ANNIV
Mr. Haskell' report was reviewed and various items
discussed
Mr Haskell noted there appears to be a considerable
quantity of good quality gravel still under water at the
Torrington pit The pumps cannot drain the water away
fast enough to get to the bottom of the pit The pumps
are gaining but it is very slow He also noted it may be
necessary to use a buggy to do some more stripping
It was generally agreed the gravel should be removed if at
all possible.
Mr Haskell reported Marty Hector has quit his job with
J & G Grading so there will be a new operator working for
the company in Division 1 He will have to monitor the new
employee closely for the next while as the person is from
Edmonton and not familiar with this area at all
Mr Haskell also discussed the condition of the Linden
Church road The dust control product was put down but he
is not happy with the job It appears the road was too dry
and the oil did not come when it was needed. There was
considerable delays between the loads of oil getting to the
job site. Lorne Reed is coming out to inspect it and no
further dust control will be applied until the M D is
satisfied with the Linden Church road job
Mr Vickery reported someone cut hay on the Fisher Davidson
road and left it on the road surface It may have to be
swept off and if possible the person responsible should be
charged for the cost
Mrs Lowen asked if there was some way to stop people from
using dirt roads when they are wet It was generally
agreed this would not be possible as the road allowance is
there for public access anytime.
Mr. Haskell noted the Massey tractor on the main crew needs
repairs and it will be necessary to rent another tractor
until it can be repaired
Mr Marz suggested the Capital Committee should, if there
appears there will be a surplus at the year end, look at

Mr Wagstaff left the meeting at this time 11 15 A M
There was discussion about this issue and whether the M D
could close SR 575 and fix the problem areas without going
through the Andrews' land It appears this would not be
possible
Mr Wagstaff returned to the meeting at this time 11.20 A M
Mr Haskell noted the water runs are washing deeper, but so
far the situation has not changed too much However if the
road is not fixed it could lead to a major slump

that area to determine how much road widening the M D owns
in the coulee area
There was also discussion about the possibility Mr Andrew
has cattle waterers located on the M D road WSW
28- 29 -21 -4 Mr Stroeder noted it would be necessary to
have a surveyor mark the boundaries of this road in order
to know if in fact the waterers are on the M.D. road
allowance
Mr Stroeder advised council all the tenders for paving SR
575 were satisfactory and it appears A & A Paving is low

working on roads in the rural area Their bid indicated a
starting date of August 22nd

advised it would be very expensive as the culvert would
have to be extended and it would take alot of fill

testing process Mr Stroeder suggested it might be
difficult for the M D to keep a person on staff who
would be capable of doing the testing and it might be
BENKLEMAN
easier for the M D to set up their own truck, provide

their own flag person and hire Torchinsky to do the

actual testing and interpretation of the data

discussions about the rollback nor asked for any input
but the office staff had been given a questionnaire and
asked for input regarding the proposal to implement a 5%
wage roll back.
Council discussed the idea of a change in the employee
committee to allow for representation from all M D
departments - administration, public works, etc.
The employees also noted some jurisdications have frozen
wages but not implemented any rollbacks They asked if
council might consider other alternatives such as
early retirement packages, the total wage package and look
at the savings which resulted because of the staff
reductions already implemented.
