Mr McCook entered the meeting Time 9 10 a m
The Public Works Superintendent Report was presented Item P W S REPORT
#6, plowing private driveways was discussed. The County of
Red Deer will no longer be plowing out private driveways as
they feel it is not worth it for them to be doing it and
there are enough private contractors in the area to do the
work. There was discussion regarding the M D 's private
snow removal practices. It was felt that during the recent
snowfall ratepayers appreciated the fact that the M.D
graders were going into their driveways if requested to
remove the snow and it is something the M D should
continue doing
Item #4, PIR program was then discussed Mr McCook
reported that in 1994 the M.D. scored 82% and in 1995 the
M D scored 86%

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 19th, 1995
Mr Wagstaff questioned as to why we have to accept low bid
and shouldn't we be tendering out the grader contract for
Divisions 1 and 5 instead of accepting only Mr. Busby's
price Mr Jeffery advised that it is a Ministerial
decision that low bid be accepted and that not all
contracts have to be tendered out but when they are, low
bid must be accepted Mr Wagstaff advised lie feels that
the M D should be giving other contractors a chance at the
grader contracts
Mr McCook suggested that we know the contractor we have
works and we know the service they provide is good so it is
probably a good idea to stick with a sure thing Mr
McCook also advised he has done cost comparisons between
the cost to run an M D grader compared to the cost of the
contract graders and it's hard for us to compete with Mr.
Busby's price The grader operator cost in Division 5
averages $43 00 per mile
Mr Jeffery reported the Town of Three Hills has approached
the M.D. regarding the M ll doing vehicle inspections on
the Town of Three Hills van and the- DATS van and -bill them
for it The M D is licensed to -perform these inspections
on other government vehicles and ambulances. Mr Jeffery
advised that although the DATS van is owned by a society
and not another government agency, we could perform the
inspection and see if they accept it
Mr Marz suggested that we should do the inspections on the
ambulances if we are approached to do so since the M D
pays 75% of the requisition to the Kneehill Ambulance Board
and we do all of the administration work for the
ambulance. Mr Marz also suggested that possibly the idea
of the M.D. running the ambulance service and
requisitioning the towns and villages could be discussed
with the towns and villages since the M D. already pays 75%
of the ambulance costs
Mr McCook advised that it would be no problem for our shop
to handle the work of the inspections but when an ambulance
came in it would have to be done quickly so it wouldn't be
out of commission for long.

Mr Jeffery advised a copy of a letter has been received
from High Calibre Ranching, B L Dyck, who have recently HIGi CALIBRE
purchased S E 21- 29 -23 -4 and N E 16- 29 -23 -4 informing RAMMING
there is no access or right of way allowed on this property
except for Strike employees who use the private road to
access their well and that legal action will be taken
should the above be ignored The letter was sent to
residents in the Carbon area
Mr. McCook advised an M D employee went in and was told to
leave or the M.D would have a lawsuit on our hands
Mr Jeffery read a letter he has drafted to Mr Dyck
stating that there is legal road allowance along the east
half of 21 and the east half of 16- 29 -23 -4 which provides
the public with a minimum access of 66 feet as well as that
there is a legal road diversion providing the public with
66 feet of road allowance across the north 66 feet of the
S E 16- 29 -23 -4
Mr. Wagstaff moved the letter Mr Jeffery has drafted be
sent to High Calibre Ranching advising of the legal road
allowance and the road diversion.

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 19th, 1995
CARRIED
A short recess was held from 9.55 a m to 10.10 a m
Mr Jeffery advised Mr Boake and himself had met with Mr
Wall: Regehr regarding S H 806 realignment. Mr Regehr is
concerned with his trees and the devaluation of his
property. Mr Regehr feels the value of his property would
drop from $245,000 00 to $160,000 00 if the current
alignment plan was followed. Mr Regehr advised he wanted
Mr Jeffery and Mr Boake to meet with Linden Farms before
dealing with him
Mr Jeffery then advised he contacted Mr Hirji from Linden
Farms and Mr Hirji advised him to meet with Mr Jaffer
from Linden Farms Mr Jeffery and Mr McCook met with Mr.
Jaffer and Mr. Jaffer advised he was concerned that there
would be increased noise for his turkeys due to the
realignment of 806 Mr. Jeffery asked if noise
suppressants would be able to be used to block the noise
Mr Jaffer contacted Mr Jeffery on December 15, 1995 and
advised that noise suppressants would not work and the M.D.
could purchase his property consisting of 94 acres out
right for $2.2 million
Mr Jeffery noted an Expropriation Appraiser could be used
but. would cost at least $5000.00 and even then the property
could end up being very expensive
It was suggested that possibly the engineers could do a
realignment to follow along the road allowance and spend an
extra $100,000 00 on fill which in the end may turn out to
be cheaper than the current proposal. By following the
road allowance, the road would then go straight through the
coulee
Mr McCook asked if council would like him to see what he
could do with the present alignment of 806 at the bridge
Tho present bridge would require $300,000.00 worth of
upg- ading
Mr Boake suggested that if the road was lowered at Mr
Re(o3hrs and Linden Farms at a cost of $300,000 00 it may be
woatrh by the time we finish dealing with Mr Regehr and
Linden Farms
Mr Marz suggested that instead of realigning the road, why
nog widen the existing road and be done with it and leave
thf, bridge where it is It was felt that council cannot
justify the cost to purchase the land on the new road
alignment
:1.
C► u �►I
Mr Marz moved that due to the projected land acquisition GE »ccS�7
costs Torchinsky Engineering look at redesigning the � �cu�•.
or.Lginal road alignment and widening it to approved

final cost of the project is $344,127 74 and the cost per

co:t is $10,428.11. The 34 users include the two hookups
fo, Lynn Gustafson
There was discussion about Mr Gustafson's request for
council to consider cancelling his petition on the S W

6 Just a note of information for you, the County of Red Deer has
put an advertisement in the paper stating they will no longer
be plowing out private driveways anymore. They feel there are
enough contractors and equipment around, it's not worth the SAP zip
hassle of pulling into yards inav'�s
7 I'm still getting information on capital items and cost
comparisons, along with trying to update out fleet, so we donit
caught one year with a lot of junk
8. I'm running the gravel trucks 9 hours until Christmas, then
Miles and I will re- evaluate how much is left- to haul. Between
plowing and some cold weather we've gotten behind schedule.
9 Would like to have a quick Safety Committee meeting sometime
this week Rick and Marylea
