He believes financing arrangements should be left up to the parties involved to work out Mr Marz moved the M D send a submission to the Provincial e. +e r- DeRegulation Task force indicating council feels the �'c' Province should not impose regulations on how joint agreements between municipalities are funded by requiring ✓ s�� the use of equalized assessment figures CARRIED Alex Cunningham entered the meeting at this time Time 8.55 A M The letter from A A M D & C providing information about a provincial grant program to assist municipalities with GRANT the amalgamation process was read and discussed PROGRAM FOR AMALGAMATI Mr Marz noted because the M.D. has a small population, it COSTS is likely going to be targeted for amalgmation with another area He asked council what their views were with regard to discussing amalgamation with the County of Mountain View Apparently the County of Mountain View has some concern that they may be targeted by both Red Deer and Rockyview He also noted the M D of Badlands would like to discuss the idea of amalgamation with Kneehill If the M D amalgamates with Mountainview Didsbury would be the more central point in the larger area. Both areas are presently running with a skelton staff. There was discussion regarding this issue Mr Boake moved the M.D. agree in principle with the idea of discussing possible amalgamation with another rural and or urban municipality compatable with this area and Reeve Marz be authorized in his discretion to commence and or carry on discussions about possible amalgamation CARRIED Mr. Marz reviewed with council some questions and concerns he intends to discuss with the Minister at the Fall Convention Mr Cunningham reviewed the Equity water system at this time He noted the project was put out to tender and after a preliminary review of the tenders it appears the cost of construction would be $437,440 for 28 kilometers and 40 hookups.

He suggested if the M.D. did the digging the construction costs would be reduced He felt the costs could be reduced to $500,000 as long as the grant comes from P F R A Pipe has gone up by 30% lately. He also suggested if the M D does the dirt work should purchase another high hoe 2 EQUITY WATER PROJECT 03/P to M COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 25th, 1994 Then once the project was completed the older unit could be sold There was lengthy discussion about this matter.

If there is a need he will certainly give the matter fair consideration Mr McCook noted he is trying to review all areas of the M.D. operation, has had discussions with some of the grader operators and foremen and is trying to work out old problem areas He has shut down the base crew and laid off the base crew staff The one mile of road on SR 583 will not be based before winter It is too cold to spray water and oil now Grade crew is still working on finishing up the last open mile He proposes to gravel this mile and it will have to be prepped before it can be based next 3 0 6 1 � 1Px NOMINATION FOR ALTA LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S AWARD FOR EXCELLANCE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATI( Qe��Pe srr} BRUCE SOMMERVILLE EMPLOYMENT ACTING P W S. ?1' M 0 COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 25th, 1994 spring The fencing crew has been laid off the labourers from the main crew will finish up any fencing required.

Moving the Buffalo Jump Road project to 1996 would allow more time to stock pile the gravel required for the base course and allow more time to discuss with the Province a possible cost sharing agreement under the resource road program Mr McCook noted he felt the M D likely should stay out of the base course business This work requires experienced people and the M D does not have sufficient experienced staff to do this work Contracting the work out would also leave the M D gravel trucks available for M D roads gravelling Also if the M D does not have a base course crew the Massey tractor and the Steiger tractor could be disposed of Mr Hanger moved the M D discontinue having a base course crew and the equipment used by that crew be looked at by the Capital Committee with a view to its possible disposition CARRIED The slough area on Robert Kennedy's land - N E 22- 34 -24 -4 was reviewed during the annual road tour held yesterday Mr. McCook noted he had reviewed the Buffalo Jump road profiles and he felt the construction of the road did not change the water drainage in that area.
