Alberta Infrastructure at the AUMA Convention on September 30, 1999 regarding the Acme/Linden Secondary Highway 806 rebuild and the East Linden Road upgrade He wanted to share this presentation with the County due to its cost share position with the province The County assured Mr Rieger SH 806 is a priority but with the Alberta Government taking over all the secondary highways effective April 2000 the County is unsure of the amount of input the County will have Mr Rieger reported the need to be visible in order to get this road improved and may possibly approach Mr Ed Stelmach Minister of Transportation and Utilities Council explained to Mr Rieger the steps and the exhaustive negotiations taken with adjacent landowners in the past, in an attempt to widen and improve this road Mr Rieger closed by thanking Council for their time and stating the Linden and Acme town councils are prepared to help in any way they can to get this road rebuilt Mr Blosser reported that Alberta Transportation had informed him at the AUMA convention that the East Linden Road, despite being a heavy traffic area will never be upgraded to a secondary highway so their desire to upgrade to an all weather no road ban status became a dead issue He advised that Linden would still like to see the rail crossing (approximately 12 kms east, at Swalwell road) and the road from the crossing to Highway 21 repaired Council introduced the subject of Executive item #14, whereby the Executive Committee recommended given the difficulties in negotiations the County's other concerns with this `other vehicle' and the proximity of the Linden fire station, Acme be notified that effective January 1, 2000 the County will no longer participate in cost sharing the Acme fire department and further the rural residents of this area be served by the Linden fire department on a 75/25 cost sharing basis Mr Rieger and Mr Blosser were informed that negotiations with the urban centers are often unsuccessful and that when paying 75% of the costs it is discouraging to be defeated at the table or be ignored on important issues Kneehill County would like to be involved in the planning on the jointly funded services and notified of what is happening Mr Rieger reported he was sure the Acme Town Council would be willing to compromise and he will present this issue to them at the Council meeting tonight He was requested to also have the Acme Council come up with the number of fire vehicles they feel necessary to provide effective service Mr Rieger and Mr Blosser left the meeting at 12
