order of business Mr Jeffery reviewed the point service recreation proposal, as requested RECREATION
by the Executive Committee, including the criteria for the definitions of net operating JOINTSERVICES
revenues and expenses
Mr Wagstaff entered the meeting time 8 35 A.M
Mr Jeffery continued with the recreation joint services, reviewing the spreadsheets detailing
the net revenues and operating costs for each pool and arena facility along with the
calculation allocating the M.D recreation grant to the urban centres Mr Jeffery advised
the facility revenue and expenses information had been provided by the urban centres The
M.D recreation grant calculation principle considers either applying the minimum grant
policy, or paying the lessor of a maximum per capita deficit to the urban centre based on the
population of the urban centre or the percentage of the rural population (44 1 %) applied to
the facility deficit Mr Jeffery then reviewed the application of the M.D grant principle to
each facility, using the operating figures provided by the urban jurisdictions
A review of the revenues and expenses of each facility followed along with a discussion on
the need to address excess facility deficits and the advantages of having a regional recreation
board oversee all these facilities and address facility costs It was agreed the grant
calculation of either per capita or percentage addressed facilities with larger than average
operating deficits if all facilities were operating on an average base, the grant calculation
would be an equal per capita allocation It was agreed a regional recreation approach
provided an equity for facility cost sharing throughout the area and addressed the use of
facilities by residents in all parts of the municipality
Mr Vickery moved council accept the following recreation philosophy and this be the
M.D.'s preliminary position for the funding of operating recreation facility costs
All towns and villages pool and arena deficits to be totalledI
All town and villages and M D of Kneehill current population to be totalled and divided
into total deficit
This amount will be the maximum per capita deficit of the area.
M.D. of Kneehill will pay maximum per capita deficit of area to each town and village,
based on urban population, to a maximum of M. D of Kneehill's population % of area
(441 %) of the total town or village deficit, whichever is the lessor amount.
M.D. of Kneehill will pay a minimum of $2 50 per capita to each town and village based

Mr Jeffery reported the Hon Tom Thurber Minister of Municipal Affairs had forwarded
the M.D 's copy of the Municipal Viability Handbook, covering four very relevant topics
municipal viability issues 1995 viability data planning to make internal changes (business
planning), planning to make external changes (restructuring) Mr Jeffery reviewed the
1995 viability data for the M.D of Kneehill prepared by AB Municipal Affairs Under the
first criteria, can the municipal economy and population grow, Mr Jeffery noted, from the
statistics provided it appears the economy of the M.D is growing even though the rural
population of the M.D is decreasing and the population of the urban centres in the M.D is
increasing Under criteria two, can council govern democratically and represent the
interests of the community, it was agreed the M.D 's response would be "yes " Under
criteria #3, can the municipality meet its responsibilities for administration and services to
satisfy legislation it was the M.D 's response would be "yes " Under criteria #4 is the
municipality able to provide needed services to residents at a cost they are willing to pay,
Mr Jeffery noted, from the statistics, it appears the M.D 's expenditures and tax rate seem
to be on the high side when compared to other jurisdictions but the ratepayers seem to want
the services and appear willing to pay for them Under criteria #5, can the municipality
provide services from available financial resources, Mr Jeffery noted, from the statistics, it
appears the M.D has sufficient revenues to meet this criteria but does have a high
dependency on tax revenues noting the M.D could possibly look at more user fees but it
would be very hard to cover transportation costs through user fees
Mr Jeffery then proceeded to review factors that determine a municipality's viability
growth in population and economy, governance that democratically represents the interests
of the community satisfaction that the responsibilities for administration and services are in
accord with legislation, providing the services that are needed at a cost the residents are
willing to pay- funding services from financial resources
Council then reviewed and discussed the questions asked to determine viability and agreed
upon the following responses to the following viability questions

In response to the M.D 's request for a 10 metre finished road top for the SH 806 overlay
project from SH 583 south 7 5 miles, Mr Fischer advises under the Secondary Highway
Partnership Program, widening of narrow paved secondary highways is the responsibility of
the municipality without cost sharing In the case of SH 806, the current 8 5 metre width is SH 806 WIDENING
acceptable for the current projected traffic volumes north of Linden, however the two REQUEST
horizontal curves are geometrically substandard and should be upgraded AB
Transportation & Utilities has agreed to cost share the rebuilding of these substandard
curves to an ideal width of 10 metres and will review the report, prepared by Torchinsky
Engineering, to determine if there is sufficient justification to consider cost sharing the
remaining sections of road A discussion followed on the hill cuts required for this project
and the pipe replacement
Mr Boake moved a letter be sent to AB Transportation & Utilities regarding the SH 806
project, from SH 583 south 7 5 miles, and proposing the M D of Kneehill undertake, at RESPONSE TO AB

CARRIED
In response to the M.D 's request for cost ;sharing of the legal fees to cancel the contract
with A &A Paving Ltd., for the overlay of SH 575, Mr Fischer advises AB Transportation
& Utilities cannot approve this cost sharing and the department s policy for awarding work A &A PAVING
to the low tender bidder is a long standing requirement under the public Works Act. Mr LEGAL FEES RE.
Fischer notes it was the M.D 's choice to ;pursue contract cancellation and therefore the SH 575
M.D should fund the resulting legal costs A discussion followed and it was noted the
original letter, dated Nov 7/96, to the Minister, requesting this cost sharing clearly states in
the third paragraph the contract was cancelled when A &A failed to start the project prior to
the project completion date
It was agreed to send a letter to the Minister and express the following points the M.D 's
disappointment in the Minister's response and clarifying the reason the M.D cancelled the
contract was, as stated in the third paragraph of the Nov 7/96 letter, the contractor did not
commence the project prior to the project completion date, note the road project was
undertaken under the Secondary Partnership Program and the M.D is disappointed when
the rules under this partnership agreement change on the whim of the current Minister the
former Minister of Transportation, Dr Steve West, had indicated AB Transportation &
Utilities would cost share these legal fees, now the current Minister has indicated this is not
the case, the M.D went to great lengths and costs to obtain legal opinion, on behalf of itself
and AB Transportation & Utilities, the partners in the contract with A &A Paving, to ensure
the proper procedures were followed in this contract termination in the past the M.D has
responded favourably and co operatively with AB Transportation & Utilities as they have

Mr Jeffery noted while there is no absolute measure for viability, consistently positive VIABILITY
responses indicate the municipality has the political, community and financial resources to MEASURES

government is no longer effectively meeting the political and servicing needs in its area. Mr
Jeffery noted the M.D 's responses to the criteria questions tend to indicate its weakest area
is growth and perhaps the M.D should be actively pursuing economic growth The
responses certainly indicate the M.D fulfills its service responsibilities and has financial

M D OF KNEEHILL No. 48 COUNCIL MINUTES
January 141" and 15t ", 1997
Mr Marz then reviewed this position with the town
The town was given the schedule of recreation facility losses It was noted this schedule
had been prepared, based on the most current figures provided by the urban Jurisdictions,
and the M.D could not confirm whether the reporting processes were consistent between
the towns and villages This schedule was then reviewed It was noted the facility costs
would fluctuate from year to year The town was then given a summary of the M.D
recreation grant allocation, based on the figures provided in the foregoing schedule Mr
Jeffery reviewed the grant calculation for these facilities
Mr Marz discussed the M.D 's position, noting the M.D paid the urban recreation grants
last year without benefit of an agreement, and in good faith an agreement would be
negotiated this year The M.D is striving for consensus and agreement to principles The
principles approved by the M.D council reflect its desire to pay its fair share towards these
facilities and at the same time recognize inefficiencies some type of accountability is
required if the M.D is a partner in the sharing of operating costs The advantages of having
a Regional Recreation Board was discussed A board could compare revenues and
expenses of the various facilities and, through this comparison process, identify
extraordinary items For example a facility that has an extraordinary amount of revenues
could share knowledge with other facilities in an effort to help other facilities realize more
revenues, a facility with huge operating costs could discuss possible cost reductions with
facilities that operated more efficiently It was noted the M.D is in favour of pooling
facility costs and the concept of a regional recreation board The M.D is of the opinion we
are one community of 10 685 people the M.D residents are regional and have the
opportunity to use facilities in all locations
Mr Edwards summarized his understanding of the M.D 's position that being the M.D is
committed to a regional perspective as a granting organization, the M.D has the right to
set operating targets to generate efficiencies Mr Marz noted the M.D 's principle is to pay
its fair share of these facilities and encourage the efficient operating of these facilities, that is
why there is a cap on the amount of operating deficit the M.D will fund in any one facility
Mr Ramsden noted the M.D 's grant allocation proposal does not encourage efficiency like
the Three Hills proposal which caps revenues
The M.D noted the Three Hills proposal was a good proposal and one that could be
worked towards in the future
Mr Marz inquired why the town had reduced revenues by sales and STEP grants Mr
Ramsden noted the STEP grant could be used in any area Mr Marz noted if the M.D was
a partner in the facility sharing it should share in all revenues and expenditures Mr
Edwards noted, under the M.D proposal a larger deficit could be incurred for a facility and
the urban centre would receive a larger grant Mr Marz noted the M.D s proposal
encourages all towns and villages to keep their facility costs comparable, if all costs were
comparable then everyone would be equally paying for these facilities
A discussion followed on the reporting of the facility revenues and expenses, contributions
from Ag Societies to these facilities arena operating costs, ice rental rates
Mr Shea left the meeting - time 4 00 P M
It was reported the Three Hills arena charges $55 00 per hour ice time to minor hockey and
$65 00 per hour ice time to others Mr Marz noted the arena ice rental rates in the city are
between $100 00 $120 00 per hour based on a 50 min hour, 10 minutes of every rented
hour is allotted to ice cleaning
Mr Edwards advised he had another engagement expressed his apologies at not being
• present for the remainder of the discussion, and left the meeting time 4 05 P M
The M.D inquired whether the town felt the M.D s principles, as presented seemed fair
Mr Ramsden noted he was not in favour of pooling deficits Mr Marz noted the deficits
are pooled and allocation is based on an average, it rewards those facilities that are efficient
The town noted it would review the M.D s principles and advise on their position

charges $55 00 per hour arena rental for minor hockey with a $10 00 per hour fee built in
for a capital fund A discussion followed on arena charges in other areas, including arena
operating costs The Trochu representatives then calculated their pool and arena losses,
based on 1996 information, comparing these totals with the 1995 figures The 1996 net loss
of $78,912 00 was approximately $2 000 00 lower than the total 1995 reported net losses of
the combined pool and arena facilities of $80,735 92 The town representatives noted their
figures needed to be confirmed and also requested verification that the other urban centres
figures were comparing and including the same expenses as Trochu Mrs Dyer noted a
standardized rate for the arena rentals was required and agreed a Regional Recreation Board

The schedule of recreation facility losses was reviewed Mrs Jackson advised the Acme
community had promoted a lot of fund raisers for the pool The Acme council had decided,
without the M.D grant for the pool, an operating deficit over $20,000 00 was unacceptable
Over the past three years, the pool's operating deficits had been under $20 000 00 Pool

Beiseker and Irricana. Mrs Jackson requested clarification on the concept of the regional
recreation board Mr Marz noted the board could have representatives from all areas,
agree on policies, exchange ideas and information act in an advisory capacity Mr Marz
noted, as the M.D represents the entire area, it has a vested interest in comparing facility
operations as it cost shares in all the facilities Mrs Weller noted the policy should
recognize and pay more to facilities that operate efficiently Mr Jackson noted the Acme
pool had a leak last year and received a quote of $20,000 00 for this repair, the village
personnel fixed the leak for approximately $600 00 Mr Marz congratulated the Acme

no need for a regional recreation board Carbon looked after its pool very well under
current arrangements, there was no need for more boards or more meetings to attend The
possibility of two regional boards one for arenas and one for pools was considered Mr
Marz recapped some of the possible benefits a regional perspective could offer, sharing
knowledge and experience consultation process to determine standardized rates support
for each other Mr Hutton advised the village of Torrington is no longer involved with the
Torrington arena the Ag Society looks after the facility- the arena seems to be doing very
well as there is lots of groups from Olds travelling to Torrington to use the arena
Carbon again reiterated its preference for a self supporting system Mrs Sowerby noted the
M.D formula seemed fair Mr Marz noted an incentive to work towards self sufficiency
could be introduced down the road Linden noted it had no pool nor arena facilities and the
majority of the Linden residents use the village's walking trails, outdoor arena and tennis
courts non pool and non indoor arena facilities Mr Jeffery noted the opportunity to use
the facilities is available to the residents of Linden Mr Hovde noted the village supports
the Acme pool and contributed $1 000 00 towards its maintenance Mr Marz noted the
M.D reduced its grants to rural communities, recognized there was an overabundance of
community centres for the area population and recognized the trend towards urban
community centres To this end the M.D approved a policy for a minimum recreation grant
to those towns and villages that do not qualify for other recreation grants, the minimum
grant provides for a payment of $2.50 per capita to the urban centre with per capita based
on the population of the urban jurisdiction Mr Marz noted the M.D recognizes its
responsibility towards these facilities wants to pay its fair share towards costs, is not
concerned about management involvement but rather the M.D 's responsibility to help
control deficits Mr Marz requested each jurisdiction discuss the M.D 's principles with
their councils and make any recommendations or comments Mr Poxon noted, in his
opinion, this was the best idea so far for the sharing of recreation facility costs Mr Hutton
advised he would discuss the matter with the Torrington council and requested copies of the
policy be faxed to the Torrington village office
Mrs Lowen inquired whether Carbon had reached a decision regarding the E911 issue and
was advised by the Carbon representatives a decision had been made to go with the Red
Deer dispatch ($0 87 per phone line cost)
