1 Mr Allan Winther came into the office on January 15/98 to talk over the agreement
letter he had received from the M D of Kneehill Mr Winther is receptive to taking
the water he can handle for his cattle operations, but is concerned with the excess
water that can occur He figures a dugout or some sort of storage area for the excess
water should be cost shared or a deal made to this effect, because this really is not his
water problem He had concerns about permits, etc for the dug out and water that SAP
would be entering onto his land I told him I would bring this up in Council and Mr 177"W-le-
Wagstaff would be getting in touch with him to discuss further concerns and how
Council will be addressing them
2 On January 19/98 I met with Mr Garnie Bauer at the Torrington fire station to
address building maintenance The two big doors on the east end of the building need
to be reset and weather stripped The little walk in door on the north side needs new
weather stripping The big overhead door on the north wall should be taken out and
re bricked solid All of the overhead heaters should be re done or taken out and a big
one put in The sliding door to the furnace and hot water tank needs to be replaced
Also I feel a bigger water line into the fire hall side should be installed in the spring It
I now an ordinary '/2" tap size and should be 3" so these guys can fill their trucks I
had a look at their fire trucks and they re something to be proud of The majority of
fire calls are stubble fires or grassfires out in the country I feel we should look at
getting rid of the old truck and replacing their old water truck with a tank truck like T
39 and then they are set to fight out in the country
3 The gravel crew is stockpiling at Marshman's now The last time I talked to the
insurance adjusters about the truck that flipped over it was too close to call so I'm
waiting to see if we fix it or not
4 The graders are plowing now and cutting grass in some areas and blading roads on
others We had the graders and gravel trucks down for a couple of days in the real
cold weather
Would like to set up a Capital Committee meeting and a Safety Committee meeting of
before month's end if possible m „O°>E_
