Background Roll # 3073600 is a 4.99 acre parcel with a newer residence and attached garage
owned by R. Kurt & Helena Ratzlaff Kurt Ratzlaff also owns Roll number
3016010 as well as 20% interest in 9 properties on file as Ratzlaff Bros Ltd All
lands were in Ratzlaff ownerships prior to December 31 2002
Discussion The Ratzlaff s claim that a copy of Corporate Records showing the ownership of
Ratzlaff Bros Ltd was sent to the County office earlier in the year to support the
residential exception but I was unable to locate in the files so got a copy on
November 12, 2003 As a 20% share of the Ratzlaff Bros Ltd as well as owner of
the parcel of land on roll number 3016010 Kurt Ratzlaff is entitled to a residential
exemption of 3 5,3 10 on his residence not 380
Financial Implication Previous taxable assessment

Residential @ MV = 133,380 x 0.012891 = 1,719.40
Total 1,724.30
Revised taxable assessment
Agricultural Land =380 x 0.012891 = 490
Residential @ W = 98,450 x 0.012891 = 1,269.12
Total 1,274.02
Change in taxable assessment
Residential @ MV = 34930 x 0.012891 = 450.28

Issue
External Safety Audit 2003
Council Agenda Item # 7(e)
Background
An External Audit must be performed on the County's Safety Program in order that we
can maintain our Certificate of Recognition (Partners in Injury Reduction Program)
which gives Kneehill County a reduction on Workers Compensation Board premiums
(5% in 2003)
Discussion
An Audit was performed on November 5th & 6th, 2003, by Marg Cox from the town of
Okotoks She toured our Public Works Shop Office and Agricultural Services Building
and interviewed employees from all departments The following areas of improvement
were noted
o Review and document job site hazards
o More documentation of Health & Safety Meetings
o Documentation of formal inspections & emergency drills
o Emergency drills need to be tested and documented
A Safety Committee will be established comprised of representatives from
Administration and Staff This Committee should meet on a quarterly basis to review
safety concerns, and stay current with inspections and hazard reviews The first meeting
could review the November audit and the changes that need to be made prior to the next
internal audit
Recommendation
That Council receive this report
