The Parks Committee met at 9.00 am to review Parks and
Cemeteries operated by the M D of Kneehill The following
members were present,
Glen Wagstaff
Marylea Lowen
Arthur Thomas
A Keiver's Lake
Park Committee recommends that Alan Mills be offered the contract
as Park Attendant at Keiver's Lake for 1995 on the same terms as
1994 with the addition of a 5% share of the gate revenues as an
incentive bonus. Allan Mills had indicated to Art Thomas in the
fall that he would be interested in returning as Park Attendant
in 1995 if this was acceptable to Council
The Park Committee recommended that the Park Attendant be on site
to discourage vandalism during the period May 1 to September 5,
1995
Recommended that the overnight camping fee remain the same as
1994. $8 00 per night
For the winter all yard lights are to be turned off but the park
gate could remain open as long as vandalism does not become a
problem.
B Cemeteries
Recommended to raise price for a, cemetery plot at M D cemeteries
from the present $50 00 to $100 00;per plot
Recommended that the amount that the M D is charging to maintain
those cemeteries that it' does not have title to (Arthurvale,
Lumni, Meehan Catholic and Trochu Lutheran) remain the same as
was charged in 1994 Time spent maintaining the cemeteries at
Arthurvale, Lumni, Meehan Catholic and Trochu Lutheran will be
kept separate to determine if the current charges accurately
represent the cost involved

C Braconnier Park
The Parks Committee toured the park on the morning of February 8,
1995 Questions to be answered before a decision should be made
in taking over the operation of Braconnier Park .include the
following,
- There would need to be some sort of agreement worked out with
Lawrernce Braconnier as the park area is adjacent to his land
which both the dam and reservoir are located on and which the
public has access to
- Potable water is hauled to the park and stored in a underground
tank and there is a hand pump attached but is not working There
could be a sanitation problem and a health concern and also how
to haul potable water on an ongoing basis. Solution could be to
remove this and not have water available as this is a wayside
campsite only and a potable water source is not a necessity
- Presently there is fee of $5 00 for overnight camping on the
honor system with a self registration system Who will collect
the money"> How often">
Revenue 1993, 362 units, $1,810
1994, 184 units, $ 920
- Maintenance in 1994 was provided through a contract for the
amount of $1,404 00 It was for the period May 10 to September
12 and was done by Greg Skotheim who is a town of Three Hills
employee
- Camp Kitchen and picnic tables in good repair Two outdoor
toilets on site will need to be pumped out on an annual basis
- Who stocks the fish in the reservoirs Cost
Suggested that the Keiver's Lake Park Attendant could stop by
this park to empty the self registration fees twice a week and
also empty the garbage containers at that time He presently
comes to town with the garbage from Keiver's Lake and also to
pickup janitorial supplies etc Possibly offer the Keiver's
attendant 10% of the overnight camping fees from Keiver's and
Braconnier Parks for his additional duties and longer season, in
addition to the contract amount he received in 1994 There
appears to be limited mowing required and it wouldn't take long
for the ASB crew to do this as they go by on their way to mow at
cemeteries in the area or Swalwell Hamlet
