ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF THE MUNICIPAL DISTRICT
OF KNEEHILL #48, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11th, 1994
There was discussion about the future direction for the M D of
Kneehill and the future of some of the very small urban and or
rural jurisdications in the Province
Amalgamation of smaller jurisdications with larger areas might
result in savings as far as elected representation costs and
could result in a more specialized person being elected as the
job would take more time Some negative aspects could be
with a lessor number of councillors there could be a potential
for block voting, there would be more committee work required by
each councillor, and higher legislative costs might result, it
could become a full time job and it might be hard to attract
good people to fill the position because it would take so much
time
Mr. Boake moved the idea of reducing the number of elected
representatives in the M D of Kneehill be tabled and discussed
by the councillors at the town hall meetings in January of 1995
CARRIED
There was lengthy discussion about reimbursement for meals,
mileage and the rate of per diem for councillors for the 1994/95
year
It was suggested councillors and administrative staff might be
reimbursed for actual costs incurred for meals while on M D
business
The per diem received by councillors in other areas was
reviewed, as well as whether the reeve and deputy reeve should
receive extra pay to compensate them for the extra duties
involved
The meeting recessed for dinner between 11.40 A M and 12.50 P M
The discussion regarding per diem, meals and mileage rates
continued It was agreed the mileage rate should not be
changed for 1994/95
Mr Marz left the meeting at this time and Deputy Reeve Hoff
took charge of the meeting
Various councillor policies were reviewed and discussed
Mr Marz returned to the meeting and took charge of the meeting
It was suggested divisional or town hall meetings should not be
scheduled for the same day so all councillors and any required
staff can attend each meeting
Policy 3 -7 - rate for overnight remumeration in lieu of hotel
costs was reviewed and it was suggested the rate be increased
from $25.00 to $50.00.
The idea of purchasing cellular phones for the Administrator and
the Reeve was discussed The administrator uses his own
vehicle now (not an M D vehicle) and therefore does not have an
• D radio There are times when he and councillors are out on
• D business in his vehicle and it is necessary to contact
them The cost to purchase another M D radio for his vehicle
would be much more than a cellular phone It was suggested the
M D purchase one cellular phone, the monthly bill be received
and paid by the Administrator and he then bill the M D for the
monthly rent and any M.D. business calls made on the phone.
This would eliminate the potential for abuse of the use of the
phone

V)A.,�
ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF THE MUNICIPAL DISTRICT
OF KNEEHILL #48, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11th, 1994
Council could then review the monthly cost for the phone and how

purchasing one for the Reeve
Meals were again discussed It was suggested the flat rate of
$30.00 per day, or $60.00 per day if the spouse attends, remain
in place if attending the AAMD & C Fall Convention, the
Agriculture Service Board Convention and the Agricultural
Service Board Summer Tour and for any other occasion an actual

councillor or administrative staff.
The meal rate for public works staff will remain at $5 00, $7 00
and $9 00
The cost of providing a benefit package for councillors was
discussed at length
Mr. Vickery moved the report regarding provision of a benefit
package for councillors be accepted and filed
CARRIED
Mr Vickery moved council go in camera at this time 3 00 P M
