AGENDA ITEM #
6.1.1
Page 1 of 2
Version: 2020-01
Subject: Bylaw 1828- Road Closure at Keiver’s Lake
Meeting Date: Tuesday, November 24, 2020
Prepared By: Deanna Keiver, Planning and Development Officer
Presented By: Deanna Keiver, Planning and Development Officer
Link to Strat Plan: Providing Good Governance
Recommended
Motion:
1. That Council give first reading to Bylaw 1828 that being a bylaw for the road
closure of the road allowance between the NW 30-31-25 W4 and the NE
25-31-26 W4 lying North of Keiver’s Lake. (Legally known as Lake No. 2)
2. That Council set a public hearing date for January 12, 2021 at 10:00 a.m.
for Bylaw 1828 as per Section 22 and 230 of the Municipal Government
Act.
--
Background/
Proposal
Currently Keiver’s Lake Campground is comprised of two separate titles, and some
improvements which are located within the undeveloped road allowance. Sexsmith
Surveys has provided a Plan of Survey consolidating the Closed Road Allowance
with the two separate titles which comprise the Keiver’s Lake Campground.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
In April 2020, Council moved to direct Administration to pursue the road closure and
consolidation of the undeveloped road allowance with the Keiver’s Lake
Campground.
Due to Covid-19 and the length of time required for the surveyor to get a copy of the
original 1889 Lake Traverse from Ottawa, this is coming before Council today.
Land Titles did require a new survey of the current Keiver’s Lake shoreline in order
to complete the Plan of Survey.
Consolidating the road allowance and the two separate titles for the campground,
will bring the size of the campground to 7.14 hectares (17.64 acres). A Real
Property Report has been completed. The measurements confirm the Campground
Office will not meet side and front property line setbacks. Once the road closure is
completed, an application will be presented to the Municipal Planning Commission
for a variance to Land Use Bylaw 1808.
Financial
Implications:
Plan of survey $5000 plus GST (An increase of $1500 due to Rejection of the 1889
Lake Traverse)
Registration at Land Titles $400
Real Property Report $750
These charges can be accommodated in the existing 2020 operating budget for
planning so there will be no long-term implications to the budget. The potential
increase was factored into the initial proposed cost.
Council Options:
1. Council move First Reading of Bylaw 1828 to pursue the road closure of the
road allowance between the NW 30-31-25 W4 and the NE 25-31-26 W4
lying North of Keiver’s Lake. (Legally known as Lake No. 2)
2. Council move a public hearing be set for January 12, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. as
per Section 22 and 230 of the Municipal Government Act.
3. Council provide an alternate date or time for the public hearing.
4. Council request more information prior to scheduling the public hearing.

Increased Water Volume November 10,
2015
34T34T
Purpose:
To Establish guidelines for landowners/residents requesting a greater volume of water than what is defined as
the potential maximum of 4 igpm @ 40 psi on a Kneehill County rural waterline.
Policy Guidelines:
1. At the request of a landowner/resident for a greater volume of water, the County will undertake a
water model study to determine if the request is possible.
2. The water modelling will be performed by an engineering firm contracted by the County and a fee to
be charged to the applicant. The fee will be established by Council and will be placed in the Master
Rates Bylaw and is non-refundable. No water modeling will commence until the application and
subsequent fee is received by the County. The application form is attached as Schedule A.
3. Upon completion of the water model study the information will be presented to Kneehill County
Council for approval.
4. If Council approves the connection for increased flow the landowner/resident shall pay as follows:
a) If an existing curb stop is already in place and has been previously paid for or is
currently being paid for, the fee to increase the volume shall be taken from the
County’s Master Rates Bylaw. The landowner/resident will be required to submit full
payment of the fees prior to an increase in volume is received.
b) If no curb stop is in place, a curb stop will be placed at the property line of the parcel
as identified in the water model application (Policy 14-12) to determine waterline
connection). The fee (Connection Fee) will be as set out in the Master Rates Bylaw. A
second fee to increase the volume shall be taken form the County’s Master Rates
Bylaw. The landowner/resident will be required to submit payment of both fees
prior to a connection being be made
5. A second curb stop will not be installed. The increased volume shall be accommodated through one
curb stop and one meter.
6. The flow will still be restricted by a flow restrictor. The flow restrictor will be installed and sized to
allow for the increased volume.
7. Although a water model may indicate a greater volume is available, the volume may not always be
guaranteed to be constantly at this volume.
8. If, in the future, the County waterline becomes overburdened due to the increased volumes at these
sites, Kneehill County reserves the right to decrease the volume of water to the original defined

Chantale explained the current situation of the GIC’s and we need to revisit the $108,000 in Corporate
Services Account. Chantale spoke to Chinook and it currently earns 0.4% in the daily interest savings and in a
one-year GIC it would 0.8%; 2 year would earn 1.31% and 3 year at 1.55%.
Chantale explained that she feels it might be best to leave it in the daily interest savings, the amount earned is
minimal. If we lock into a GIC it will be locked for one year and unable to access it.
The Board expressed an interest to leave the $108,000 in the daily interest savings account for six months and
revisit again in April 2021.
05-10-2020 Frank Friesen Motion to leave the $108,000 in the daily interest savings account for six

the meeting prior to the AGM and then present the approved financial statements at the AGM. This will
reduce the potential of questions and extending the time of the AGM meeting. Chantale is requesting that

e) CARES Contract Amendment – Agritourism Cluster Innovation Challenge (Wendy)
Wendy explained a Contract Amendment with CARES (Government of AB) for the Agritourism Cluster
Innovation Challenge is required as a result of additional funds being brought into the project as a result in
scope adjustment. COVID-19 has impacted some of the deliverables and we felt it necessary to enhance the
training programs and marketing to achieve the desired outcomes. As a result, we felt it was necessary to
reallocate the expenditures with the initial CARES proposal and grant without impacting their overall
financial contribution to the project of $89,268. We are waiting for the amended CARES contract with hopes
to have it next week. Upon receipt, we would like to distribute to the Board via email for a motion to accept
the amended agreement, resign and return to CARES. At this time, no motion is required, but rather to accept
as information with details to follow. This e-mail motion will be ratified at the next meeting.
The total value of this project is now valued at $315,343.00.
10-10-2020 Corey Fisher Motion to accept as information. Carried.
f) Factor 5 Contract Amendment – Agritourism Cluster Innovation Challenge (Wendy)
As previously discussed with the Agritourism Cluster Innovation Challenges made, it is necessary for us to
amend the original contract with Factor 5 Group, as the project manager for this initiative to include the
additional funds leveraged and change in deliverables. The total fees with GST paid to Factor 5 Group will be
$298,175 as he will be overseeing the project and its related expenses.
A motion will be required to enter into an amended contact with Factor 5 Group for the total amount of
$298,175 including GST to execute the Agritourism Innovation Challenge Project.
11-10-2020 Frank Friesen Motion to enter into an amended contract with Factor 5 Group in the total
amount of $298,175.00. Carried.

5.2 SLOPE STABILITY UPDATE
T. Nygaard advised that the slope stability exploratory drilling was completed on September 24,
2020. One exploratory hole and one replacement groundwater piezometer were drilled: no bentonite
was found at the first location; however, a 30 cm seam of bentonite was identified at the second
drilling location. Due to the presence of bedrock in the drilling locations it took four (4) days and an
additional $7,000.00 in cost to complete the project. T. Nygaard advised that the results of the
drilling will be received on October 19, 2020, and a meeting with Alberta Transportation and Alberta
Environment and Parks will be scheduled to determine the next steps. In response to a question
from a member, T. Nygaard advised that, if the test results indicate instability of the slope,
monitoring utilizing inclinometers and wire piezometers would need to be introduced to monitor any
movement in the Landfill. Over the life of the Landfill there has been no movement identified in the
new or old sloped areas.

6.0 NEW BUSINESS
6.1 FINANCIAL STATEMENT January – August 2020
T. Nygaard presented the Financial Statement for January to August 2020 explaining that
for this period revenue and expenses should be at 67% of the budget. T. Nygaard
highlighted the following:
Landfill revenues are at 107.9% which includes $331,501 in Transtor Capital Loan payments from
member municipalities. Recycling Revenues are at 70.3% with an overall total revenue of 99.0%.
Total Landfill expenses including transportation, scale house, administration and Landfill are at
73.75%, Recycling expenses are at 61.5%.
The current surplus to the end of August is: Landfill $ 78,205.03, Recycling $ 37,428.38, Transtor
Loan Payment $ 311,501.05 for a total $ 427,134.46
Discussion took place on potential methods of increasing Recycling and Landfill revenues.
Discussion also took place on how to present the Transtor replacement loans more transparently on
the financial statements. T. Nygaard advised that this is currently being discussed with the
Associations auditors and the Town of Drumheller’s accountant.
MOTION: D. Drohomerski moved to accept the Financial Statement for January to August 2020 as
amended by removing the Transtor Replacement Loan from the expenses and revenue. Carried.
6.2 IT SERVICES PROPOSAL – REALITY BYTES
T. Nygaard advised that prior to the advent of Covid-19 the Landfill only offered cash or
debit transactions. After the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a demand for credit card
transactions to accommodate customers. While investigating how best to implement credit
card transactions it was identified that the Landfill was not in compliance with Payment Card
38 2020.11.24 Adopted Council Meeting Package
3
Industry standards. Further, the current Landfill computer systems lack appropriate security
capability: they are vulnerable to hackers and credit card fraud and are more suited to a
home-based business than a commercial business. T. Nygaard requested that the Town of
Drumheller’s current IT Managed Services provider, Reality Bytes Inc., prepare a proposal
to resolve these issues. T. Nygaard presented Reality Bytes Inc. proposal; and explained
that this would be included in the 2021 budget.
Provided as information.
6.3 USED OIL RECYCLING PROGRAM UPDATE
T. Nygaard advised that until recently, DDSWMA was receiving payment for used oil from
Recycle West, and payment for used plastic oil containers and drums of oil filters from Scott
Sinclair and Sons. Due to the significant downturn in the oil and gas sector, Scott Sinclair
and Sons is only able to pay for the used oil filters while Recycle West has advised that they
are no longer able to pay for the used oil and will be implementing a $ 125.00 per pick up
fee. Due to the volatility of the market there is no way to predict when and if Recycle West
will rescind their current pick up fees. T. Nygaard further advised that the Landfill is
becoming a preferred disposal location for used oil as many locations no longer offer the
program. She recommends continuing with the used oil recycling program to deter illegal
dumping of this material.

pack rings, cutlery, straws, and food ware made from hard to recycle plastics. RCA also indicated

7.6 RECYCLING PROGRAM UPDATE
T. Nygaard advised that due to Covid-19 restrictions, the recycling depot adjacent to the 7-11
convenience store was temporarily shut down. The depot location is now fully operational. It has
been slightly enlarged and surrounded with fencing on three sides with screened fencing on the
north side to enhance security, deter vandalism and lessen unsightliness. T. Nygaard advised that
the security camera system at that location will be updated; the intent is to achieve license plate
recognition of any vehicle owners vandalizing the site or illegal dumping. She further advised that
Community Futures Big Country has donated; free of charge; the use of their computer system to
operate the on- site cameras. The Manager of Operations and Community Development for
Community Futures Big Country has requested some form of recognition for their ongoing support.
