AUGUST 13TH, 19'
A short recess was held from 9 40 A.M until 9 50 A.M
A group of sixteen ratepayers entered the meeting
Mr Jeffery reviewed the July 31/96 letter received from CP Rail regarding Bylaw #1359 and
the minimum tax levy and requesting this minimum levy be removed and the actual tax amount
be levied It was reported the M.D of Rocky View has a minimum assessment levy and the
M.D of Foothills has a minimum tax levy the same as Kneehill It was noted there was
nothing wrong with the policy of minimum tax and there was the option to change the
minimum rate in future years
Mr Alan Becker noted he was now paying $74 00 more taxes because of the minimum levy
and because of M.D road diversions Mr Becker also noted he had lands that could not be
consolidated and one tax roll number that he felt should be consolidated and would be further
investigating this matter
Hr Hoff moved the Executive Committee further investigate this issue of minimum tax flUBW OF WNDW T
levies and bring a recommendation back to council. BYLAW TO DEC MW
CARRIED
Mr Marz welcomed those present noting Mr Bob Penner had arranged this appointment
with council to discuss the proposed Agri Plex issue Mr Penner was then invited to make his
presentation Mr Penner thanked council for scheduling the time for this group to meet with
them and express their concerns Mr Penner advised Mr Ed Miller had been appointed
spokesperson by the group Mr Miller then addressed council, noting the main concern of the
group was the proposed Agri Plex The Agri Plex proposal was initiated by clubs and the
original request was for a $15,000 00 tent structure The $30,184 00 dedicated by the M.D
to this project should not be spent on the project It is the opinion of the group present to day
that the M.D should not be involved and should promote the use of existing facilities and
maintain roads, hospitals, ambulance, fire and land development issues A plebiscite should be
held approving any monies spent outside these listed areas The second concern of this group
are the roads in Division 2 the crown of the roads have been lost and the shoulders trap
water, the Grainger Road, south to Highway 99, is impassable Mr Marz thanked Mr Miller
for presenting the group's comments and invited further comments from those present The
following comments and concerns were expressed by various members of the group
the $30,184 00 should be used to buy grader blades and improve the roads
the M.D should not get involved with new facilities, existing facilities are under
economic strain and the M.D should support these existing facilities
how many dollars have been spent supporting the operations of existing facilities
- the initial request was for a $15,000 00 tent type structure, why has it ballooned?
the M.D should not facilitate the groups who want this facility should do the work
mistakes have been made in the past regarding recreational facilities, let s not make
another
it appears, from reading the minutes, the M.D is encouraging this proposal to go
ahead and proceed that s what is wrong If there is a need for such a facility
someone would be willing to come forward and prove it could fly
council s commitment for $30,184 00 should not have been made so early in the
game it should have been the last step
three pure bred breeders have advised a facility such as this proposal, located on this
side of Highway 2 would not fly it needs to be on the other side of Highway 2
a lot of pure bred sales are being held on farms because of the rental costs for these
types of facilities
the point of the group's meeting with council is to get government where
government should be
- the M.D should make a precedence and say `No' to a new facility and put their
money into existing facilities
if a group wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it, if you work for
it you will appreciate it and use it more

AUGUST 13TH, 1996
The M.D responded to these comments with the following
in the past, if the M.D had taken a more proactive role, perhaps there would not be
so many arenas and recreation facilities duplicated in the M.D with most of these
located in the region of the M.D where there is the least population
volunteer groups tend to access public funds to initiate projects and then when
monies run short approach the municipality for funds there is a lack of long range
planning and vision in such ventures
the M.D felt it wanted to be involved with this proposal in the beginning to ensure
long term planning was addressed and such a proposal would be economically viable
and operate without incurring deficits and requiring financial support from the M.D
the M.D s role as facilitator to the Agri Plex group is to help the group steer away
from potential problems
the $30 184 00 was approved "in principle' if council feels the group s proposal
does not meet criteria the monies would not be contributed to the project
the M.D is facilitating the group to accommodate a request from a group of citizens
This is no more nor no less than council has done with other groups and other requests
one of the reasons the Agri Plex group approached council was because it could not
deal with the arenas, the rental charges are too much and there are time limits when
they can be used (only between April and September)
a Steering Committee formed to identify needs and wants and gather information so
that informed decisions can be made No decisions have been made yet, the committee
is still exploring various options
the M.D involvement, as a facilitator to the Agri Plex group, is to steer away from
potential problems and long term costs someone has to be more involved in the long
term outlook
Mr Marz noted the letter published in the local newspaper by James Main and Lorene
Cunningham projected a negative view of this proposed Agri Plex Mr Marz further noted he
was at a loss to understand why an Ag Society would not want to be involved in an
agricultural venture when it appeared to be involved in everything else, one Ag Society has
been involved in purchasing signs for the village of Linden Mr Marz noted this is public
funding It was further noted the Three Hills Ag Society has provided funds towards skating
in Elnora, funds to purchase an instrument for the Three Hills School band which is a new
saxophone and, according to the school principal, exclusively used by Grant Cunningham
Mr Marz noted, from these examples given, it was clear these Ag Societies have not set
priorities
Mr Main noted the reason the article was placed in the newspaper was that the Three Hills
Ag Society was never approached regarding this proposal, the request went from $15,000 00
tent type facility to a huge amount Mr Main stated he had received several calls regarding
this proposed Agri Plex and had placed the ad in the newspaper to get a response he was
neither for nor against the proposal Mr Main further noted regarding the instrument
purchased by the Ag Society for the Three Hills school, this purchase was in response to a
school request for money for band instruments and that his daughter, along with another
student also play this instrument it is available for any student to use. Mr Marz indicated
this was not his understanding from the information received from the school principal
Mr Darcy Penner requested some clarification, noting the Acme Ag Society had been
notified on short notice of the Steering Committee meetings and asked if any conclusions had
been reached regarding the use of the building Mr Marz noted the Steering Committee was
in the process of gathering information, including suggestions for various uses, and there was
not sufficient information yet to establish size uses etc Mr Marz further noted the M.D was
trying to promote energy efficiency, a facility that would not have an operating deficit, a self
sufficient operation with a net zero operating cost

Mr Wagstaff noted the Trochu area held a plebiscite when building its pool and is still paying
for the pool to day He cautioned care should be taken with plebiscites if one were held to COWEWS RE
day, probably the Trochu pool would not be built as there is a pool in Three Hills Mr PIFBISCMTB

AUGUST 13TH, 1996
Mr Penner noted he hoped council has the sense to sort out pipe dreams Mr Marz noted
this was what council was trying to prevent, council had a responsibility to the public Mr
Penner added that council should talk to ratepayers before making decisions Mr Marz noted
no decisions regarding this proposal have yet been made there are two councillors on this
Steering Committee to ensure long term vision is addressed
A question was asked regarding the M.D 's involvement with the Three Hills arena project
Mr Marz noted the M.D did not support phase one of the project as it did not agree with the
replacement of the structure Phase two involves the dressing rooms and floor replacement,
which the M.D supports and will be providing machinery and manpower towards The
contractor cost for the work the M.D is going to do in phase two amounts to $46,000 00 It
was noted the town had contributed $170,000 00 to phase one and $30,000 00 to phase two
of the project
Mr Marz noted the M.D had responded to the Agri Plex group the same way it would
respond to any other group It had probably been more stringent with this group as it was not
supporting a facility that would have an operating deficit and require support
Mr Marz noted the Agri Plex group s request was dealt with the same enthusiasm as the Mt
Vernon water group After months of facilitating this group and obtaining and gathering
information and consultation, Council felt the Mt Vernon group s conditions were not in the
best interests of the municipality and declined to finance the project It was noted Council
strives to deal fairly and afford equitable opportunities to everyone Mr Miller proposed
council adopt a policy dust to facilitate the Agri Plex group and not be accountable financially
to this venture Mr Marz noted this was already done the funding commitment of
$30,194 00 had to meet criteria, the proposal had to be agricultural related and operate
without a deficit
The discussion shifted to the condition of the roads in Division 2 A comment was made that
the money for Division 2 should be given to the residents and they could look after their own
division they are paying taxes and the gravel and grading is not being kept up Mrs Lowen
noted the rains have delayed a lot of road maintenance A comment was made about the
Division 2 grader and that Mr Sowerby has told ratepayers he sits there until he hears from
the office he has advised ratepayers he can't go on a road when the road is being used
because Miller is silaging It was noted the roads are disgraceful and need addressing so we
don t lose them Mr Becker noted the Planning Committee allowed a feed lot on an unpaved
road Grainger Road needs addressing Mr Miller noted he started the feedlot in 1980 Mr
Becker noted he is not against the feedlot, but because of oil activity and the feed lot the road
needs addressing Mr Becker stressed the need for road structure and indicated he felt the
area was getting shorted Mr Vickery noted taxes are 26% agriculture based Mr Ward
noted look at where oil activity is and spend money there Mr Miller noted grade, put
crowns on roads - this would go a long way Mr Taylor noted there is a need for bridges in
the southern portion of the municipality bridges that can handle farm machinery The Lone
Pine Creek has only one bridge
Mr Penner thanked council for its time to hear these concerns and requested they consider
these comments Mr Marz noted there was a committee that would bring the groups
concerns to the Agri Plex Steering Committee Mr Marz thanked the group for attending the
meeting and expressing their concerns The group left the meeting time 11 30 A.M
Under agenda item #8 July 23/96 edited minutes it was agreed Mrs Lowen and Mr Marz

Mr Jeffery reviewed the point services and the responses from the urban centres to the M.D 's

High Calibre had placed a lock on this gate Mr Stewart also reported hay bales and cattle

council Mr Pedrim advised he had requested this meeting to further discuss the M.D 's July
2/96 letter regarding their concerns with the transfer of Braconmer Recreation Site Pt SW
20 31 23 W4 Mr Marz noted council had expressed concerns over the sell back agreement
specifically the $1 00 buy back clause Under the terms of the buy back clause should events
happen that gives ownership back to the province, no provision is made for any investments
the M.D has made in this park It was noted the M.D was exploring the possibility of
providing water to the park location through a water co op venture and this investment would
be approximately $14,000 00 It was also noted, shortly after assuming responsibilities for
this park, the Health department had contacted the M.D to advise a provision, under the
Health Act is for overnight camping facilities to provide water on site Previously, water was
hauled to this site and stored but sewage had been dumped in the cistern The M.D had
reacted to this matter by removing the handle to the water pump and requesting a waiver to
the regulations as it was looking into a regional water system hook up Mr Marz noted it was
council s opinion if the province wanted to give the financial responsibility of the park away,
transfer title to the M.D and the M.D be responsible for the operations and operate this site
as a park as long as it was feasible to do so then should these terms not be agreeable with the
province it could retain title and operate this area Mr Pedrini advised the disposition of lands
by the provincial government is regulated by the Public Lands Act which states any lands
disposed of at a loss must be done under the terms and conditions as proposed for
Braconnier Park Mr Pedrim further stated it is not an option for the government to continue
to operate this park as funding for this site has been cut The only option should the M.D
not want to assume ownership, under the terms and conditions as set our by legislation, would
be to close the site In similar cases, sites have been closed the lands reclaimed all facilities
removed and the lands and turned back to AB Transportation and Utilities who would hold
the land as vacant crown land It was noted the lands would not be turned over to private
individuals the area was small and not economically viable

overnight camping and trail rides Mr Pedrini noted the province had declined these activities
at this location because of the access road into the park and because of liability Mr Pedrini
recommended this issue be brought up with the MLA
In closing Mr Pedrini asked if the M.D would be willing to operate Braconnier Park until the
end of the season, that being September Council agreed to do so Mr Marz thanked Mr
Pedrini for meeting with council to discuss and clarify this issue and advised council would get
back to him if there were any changes to the original letter regarding this matter Mr Pedrini

Mr David Nadeau
Mr Marz welcomed those present, noting council had extended an invitation to all towns and
villages to further discuss and review the 911 service and the option of having the Kneehill
Fire and Ambulance Dispatch operate this service Mr Marz noted both Three Hills and the
M.D had been approached by this group and inquired whether the other towns and villages
had received the presentation from this group Mr Laubman advised Trochu had only
received a letter from Kneehill dispatch was looking favourably towards 911 and wanted
more information from the dispatch group Mr Moon reported Linden could see the validity
of 911 service however, it could also see a duplication of services and preferred to spend
monies supporting local enterprises Mr Hannah noted Acme was of the same opinion as
Linden preferred to support local dispatch and favoured Calgary 911 service over Red Deer
Three Hills reported, like other jurisdictions, it too had mixed feelings and would also like to
see this service be provided locally
Mr Marz requested costs for providing the 911 service Mr Stewart reported the Red Deer
service depends on the level of emergency service required For call answer service the cost is
$0 86 per month per telephone line Additions to this service would require a price quote
Mrs Christie reported the Kneehill dispatch had no definite costs at this time to provide 911
service What would be required to provide this service would be a Centrex system, which
would be supplied by AGT and would be conditional upon having one central location that
would be manned twenty four hours per day The dispatch service would have to purchase a

telephone, computer, call log machine, printer and other office equipment The cost of the
Centrex system is included in the $0 86 per month per phone line - $0 42 goes towards this
system and for AGT to maintain records and a data base, $0 37 would be collected for the 911 DISCUSSION
911 service and $0 07 charged by AGT to handle the account Mrs Christie advised there
were currently seven dispatchers in the Kneehill service of which five were certified
dispatchers
The need, down the road, to pay the volunteer dispatchers to man a centrally located dispatch
station was discussed along with the possibilities of paying other volunteer emergency sectors
such as ambulance and fire A discussion followed on the possible costs to have a paid 911
dispatch service in the area
Mr Stewart noted the $0 86 per month line per line service offered by Red Deer includes
confirmation of location link with dispatch and telephone support until the emergency service
arrives on scene Mr Stewart further noted the County of Mountain View and all urban
centres within, the County of Red Deer and all urban centres within except Bowden, and the
city of Red Deer and possibly the M.D of Clearwater are all signed onto the Red Deer 911
service
Further discussion continued on options, costs, service and obstacles with providing dispatch
to the Trochu fire department Concerns were raised regarding the future of the local dispatch
should a decision be made to sign with Red Deer An option of having the central dispatch in
a municipal office and manned by staff during office hours to cut costs was also discussed It
was agreed further information and costs needed to be determined before decisions could be
made In response to questions it was reported the Red Deer dispatchers receive $15 00 per
hour, M.D of Foothills pays $6 00 /hr on a per diem basis to its volunteer dispatchers Mrs
Bauman noted given the location of the local service and the availability of jobs, especially for
women, it would probably not be difficult to find people to dispatch An hourly rate of $8 00
per hour was discussed and cost projections estimated
Mr Marz proposed the administrators of the jurisdictions gather all the pertinent information AUGNISTRATORS TO
regarding this service and present their findings to their council so an informed decision can be
determined Mr Marz further noted, to expedite this process Mr Jeffery could gather the RE 911 SERME
information necessary to prepare cost comparisons and estimates UMUC

PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

We will be starting the final chip seal coat on the Buffalo Jump road today We m�
the contractor redo seven approaches and clean up the slopes better last week on road
committee
I've sent applications in for the Resource Road program In talking with
transportation they felt the Buffalo Jump would work in for the 1996 season if it met
all the criteria. The second choice was the Linden West road The Agri Road
Program is quite a bit more complicated with respect to designs haul quantities and
project estimates I couldn't get all the information together or designs ready in time
for the 1996 season We have until October I believe to send all the information in for
the 1997 construction season
With regards to writing a letter to AT & U about concerns with #806 from Linden
north The more I look into this I feel we should wait for the design, see what meets
alignment, core the road, and do a visual, this way we have all the information to back
up our request for cost sharing with AT & U The more solid information we have the
better prepared we are to back up statements with facts It's going to boil down to
dollars and cents and we should be ready to back up our concerns
Once again I m going to state, that with the year we've had not all the fobs on the list
are going to get done this year We're trying to do blade grades first that have
residents, ditch work etc will be done as time permits We're also trying to repair
our secondary system and chip seal roads which takes time
