reference to this matter Mr Hoff recalled the M.D had, when Mr Finlay Code was the
divisional councillor approved the culvert and fixed the road at no charge Mr Jeffery
noted Mr Maruzs was confused about this matter as the M.D had previously fixed the road
and expected the M.D to do the same again A discussion followed on the possibility of
installing two culverts at this site or replacing the original culvert with a larger one and
possible cost sharing arrangements to fix same Mr McCook noted the current culvert, a MARUZS CULVERT
30' pipe, would have to be replaced NE 15- 30 -23 -w4
Mr Hanger moved the M D install a culvert at this location and cost share same on a

participating in various 4H clubs Mr Vickery noted a contribution towards this project

Mr Hoff welcomed everyone to the meeting and introductions were made
Mr Jeffery proceeded to review the Wheatland Agricultural Service Board s Strategic Plan
November 1995, reviewing the mission vision goals, strategies and actions of this ASB in
addition to reviewing the 1995 and 1996 actual and 1996 and 1997 budget financial
statements A discussion followed on the future direction of the M D of Kneehill ASB,
including a comparison of operating costs between Wheatland and Kneehill s ASB It was
noted in 1996 Wheatland ASB reported revenues of $116,443 00 and expenditures of
$358,519 00 for a net department expense of $242 076 00 compared to the Kneehill 1996
revenues of $109,241 00 and department expenses of $106 607 00 for a net department
expense of $2 634 00 It was noted since 1992 ASB overall costs had decreased It was
also noted some of the financial comparisons were not the same as Wheatland allocated
labour costs to each ASB function (mowing seeding etc.) in addition to administrative
costs and also Wheatland had different agricultural concerns, such as irrigation and water
management It was also noted all of Wheatland council is on the ASB with farmer
members serving on sub committees Options for the M.D s ASB were discussed including
the possibility of allocating to the public works department some of the ASB tasks, hiring a
part time assistant ASB person with Wheatland's Ag Fieldman offering supervision It was
noted Mr Jim Laszlo Wheatland s AF Fieldman had been very responsive to helping the
M.D in this matter Wheatland's council had also indicated its willingness to help the M.D
but had emphasized it did not want to jeopardize their ASB services to their ratepayers by
doing so It was agreed the position of Wheatland's council was understandable The
discussion was continued on the expectations and future of the M.D 's ASB department
Mr Hanger, the ASB Chairman noted the resignation of the M D s Ag Fieldman Mr Art
Thomas, had provided the ASB with an opportunity to review its program, look at options
for changes including the possibility of contracting some of these services, allocating some
to the public works department and having a part time ASB person in place This was an
opportunity to promote point services Mr Koot noted the M D needed an Ag Fieldman in
place to deliver its programs Mr Hoppins noted he felt the ASB had re looked at the
matter, decided contracting would not work and a full time person not an assistant, was
needed and there was no other option but hire an Ag Fieldman Mr Wagstaff noted there
may be more need for an Ag Fieldman now since the resignation of the District
Agriculturist Mr Vickery reported he had discussed this issue with some ratepayers and
the feelings expressed by them was that an Ag Fieldman was good to have on a year round
basis The M.D s tree planting program was discussed It was noted due to the status of
the ASB department the M.D would not be planting trees this year and would be
telephoning ratepayers to pick up their tree orders
Mr Wagstaff moved the M 1). of Kneehill continue ivith the Agricultural Service Board
and advertise for an Agricultural Fieldman, salary for this position being dependent

PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
TUESDAY, April 22nd, 1997
1 We have water trouble on dust about every road from #805 to highway #21 in the
north west country We're starting now to fix these areas after the water has dropped
2 If council could hold off or discourage their ratepayers again this year for minor
requests such as approaches or widening it would help us out Once again we have
another fun filled year of replacing and fixing culverts
3 I'm looking at a scenario of renting a wheel loader/backhoe or hiring out work that I
feel needs done, and that s digging out and opening up culverts on dust about every
road we have With the winters and spring thaws we ve been having, the more pipe
we have open the less trouble come spring
4 The crews won't be getting out on the projects too early this year but we have lots of
work on fixing roads for now
5 Gravel trucks are hauling to #21 & #27 stock pile and also hauling to the problem
areas that have washed
6 Mrs Ron Wold lut the guardrail and bridge down on the #583 creek We will be
sending them a bill for damages done
7 The next big issue that will be coming at us will be the question of "why the dirt roads
aren t bladed?' During this winters heavy snow we never plowed dirt roads unless
requested to do so, or it was necessary We 11 get at them when they dry out
8 One of the new graders came in on Friday and the other one should be here today
9 Road bans will be lifted to 90% on the heavy pavement come Wednesday and all other
light coat will remain at 75%
