Mrs Deak explained a problem had arisen regarding Mr Murray Horton s contract
which had an expiry date of November 11 1999 Mrs Loretta Ling Chairman of the
Kneehill Ambulance Society had arbitrarily extended this contract until November 30,
1999 The County as the administrative body for KAS had already informed Mr
Horton that upon expiry of his contract his position would become a salaried position
and invited him to re apply allowing him the opportunity to set out his job
expectations and address any concerns The decision to move to a salaried position
was made in an effort to ensure that all employees would be treated equitably and was
done only after seeking legal advice and direction from the Local Authorities Pension
Board A meeting had been scheduled between the KAS and Kneehill Council for
Tuesday November 9 1999 at 5 00 P M at the Kneehill County office to deal with
this issue After lengthy discussion the consensus of council was that Mrs Ling as
chairperson of the KAS had not followed the conditions as set out in the annual
contract between KAS and Kneehill County

Reeve Hoff welcomed Mr Gordon Stewart, City of Red Deer, to the meeting and
introductions were made Mr Hoff then invited Mr Stewart to address the meeting
Mr Stewart advised the City of Red Deer was pleased to provide regional dispatch to
Kneehill County as a pilot project This project would provide information on whether
Red Deer would want to expand this service to other municipalities and to ensure all
the technical capabilities to do so would be in place The cost of $1 00 /per capita
would be reassessed at the completion of the first year, once the information on
expenses primarily in the area of staffing was tabulated Mr Stewart reported the
final cost, for future vears, would be determined by the number of other jurisdictions
interested in regional 911 Mr Stewart informed Council the tentative starting date to
offer full dispatch to Kneehill Ambulance would be December 1 1999, as the City of
Red Deer only needs to install some minor electronic equipment and draft an
agreement Council was reassured the system would be reviewed continually
throughout the year in order to make improvements Mr Stewart advised the
incorporation of the fire departments would take somewhat longer With the key to
regional dispatch being uniformity Red Deer would have to draft a Standard Operating
Procedure for all the fire departments within Kneehill County to follow and the
existing radio towers would need some upgrading Mr Stewart advised he would be
faxing a draft agreement to provide regional dispatch for Kneehill Ambulance service
for Kneehill County s approval
Mr Stewart left the meeting at 10 24 A M
Mr Onos advised Kneehill Ambulance Society has at its disposal a grant from the

November 9, 1999
Mr McCook recommended clarification of the motion regarding Kneehill County
absorbing the cost for E911 full dispatch It was noted the County s intent was to pay

Is
Discussion continued regarding Kneehill County s position on water It was felt by
Council that it should be regional in nature 100% County involvement, the focus

with the involved urban centers, serving people first and then livestock, with 100%
County involvement with representation to reflect this on a per capita user pay basis

Mr Rusling reviewed a subdivision request at the S E 4 35 24 W4 for two parcels
one to the east of the County road and one for the existing farm site When the
surveyor attempted to survey the appropriate parcels for the subdivision it was
discovered the road allowance as set out on the tale does not coincide with the actual
placement of the road (it was located east of the actual road plan) Upon review of this
matter with Infrastructure and the lawyer, Mr Rusling advised the proper procedure
would be to cancel road plan 692CL and have it resurveyed at the municipality s
expense In order for the sale of the one parcel to proceed at this time rather than be
delayed until the resurvey is completed an agreement between all parties has been
drafted by the legal firm of Tainsh Howard

SURVEY
Mr Hoff extended a welcome and introductions were made Mr Hooper thanked
Kneehill County for the invitation to speak on behalf of the Alberta Land Surveryors
Association (ALS), to Council regarding the effect the introduction of Title Insurance
will have upon municipalities He supplied Council with a history of the ALS and
advised proper surveying makes everyone s life much simpler He reported that title
insurance was designed to insure a financial institution s mortgage liability while at the
same time removing the need for a Real Property Report, thus speeding up the real
estate transaction An additional policy would be required to protect the landowner
Title insurance masks problems and leaves settlement of them to some future date
when they are discovered and the new owner must deal with the title insurance
company to solve the problem This guarantee of security of title on a piece of
property is already guaranteed by the Alberta Government through the Land Titles
Assurance Fund by use of the Torrens System Mr Hooper further advised a Real
Property Report is the only true way of knowing exactly where an improvement is
located on a parcel of land Only by measuring the property and improvements and
comparing the measurements to the legal restrictions of the land use bylaws or
