Artis Exploration has requested this longer-term agreement to provide them with some security regarding a water source to aide in planning for their future drilling operations. Artis Exploration currently has a similar agreement in place with Kneehill County for land access and the extraction of water that expires in May 2023. The proposed agreement will include the Valleyview Colony as an additional grantee as the existing waterbodies extend across current property lines. The revenue generated from the sale of the water will be evenly distributed between the County and the Colony. Water extraction from the Torrington Pit is subject to approvals from Alberta Environment and Parks. Discussion/ Options/ Benefits/ Disadvantages: Kneehill County has historically permitted Artis Exploration access to water from the Torrington gravel pit. This agreement allows Artis a source of water for their operations while providing the County with an additional revenue stream. As the water bodies traverse across property lines, the inclusion of the Valleyview Colony in the agreement will avoid any concerns that may arise regarding the authority to extract this water. This also follows through on a commitment made to the Colony as part of extracting material from Colony lands. A provision has been included in the revised agreement allowing both the County and the Colony the ability to extract water for their own uses without requiring Artis’s consent. Financial Implications: Artis Exploration currently has plans to extract approximately 175,000 m3 of water in early 2022. With the revenue sharing model proposed this would provide Kneehill County proceeds in the amount of approximately $88,000. Council Options: 1. That Council approve the recommended motion. 2. That Council refuse the recommended motion. 3. That Council provide an alternate motion for approval. 10 2021.11.30 Adopted Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 4.1 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2020-02 Recommended Engagement: ☒ Directive Decision (Information Sharing-One way communication) Goal: To educate and inform citizens Tools: ☐ Individual Notification or ☒ Public Notification ☐ Consultative Decision (Consulting the Public – Two way communication) Goal: To seek feedback, test ideas, develop concepts and collaborative solutions Tools: ☐ Public Hearing ☐ Open House ☐ Focus Group ☐ Other- ☐ Collaborative Decision (Active Participation- Share or delegate decision making) Goal: To share or delegate decision making Tools: ☐ Participatory Decision Making ☐ Inter-Municipal Agreement ☐ Other- Attachments: Torrington Gravel Pit Water Access Agreement Follow-up Actions: Once approved, the agreement will be finalized and forwarded onto all signatories. Artis will commence their application with Alberta Environment and Parks for their temporary diversion license (TDL) to extract the water.

Council move First Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845 to pursue the road closure and consolidation of a portion of Township Road 28-4, which is an undeveloped road allowance adjacent to the south end of Horseshoe Canyon (more specifically the SW-27-28-21-W4), and road plan 834 LK into descriptive plan 091 0342, Block 1, Lot 2. 2. Council move Second Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845. 3. Council move to consider Third Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845. 4. Council move Third Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845. Background/ Proposal In 2007, highway 9 was realigned and Alberta Transportation gifted us with the parcel that encompasses the parking area at Horseshoe Canyon. This is a 3.56- acre title to an area directly south of Horseshoe Canyon that has been fragmented by road plan 834 LK. This parcel contains portions of the parking lot and a small portion of the canyon itself. The existing outhouses are on the boundary of the road allowance. The portion of the undeveloped township road runs through the parking lot, the turnaround, a portion of the canyon and some of the enhanced trail down to the base. Administration proposed that this portion of Twp. Rd 28-4 be closed and consolidated into descriptive plan 091 0342, Block 1, Lot 2 that was created following the realignment of the highway. We also proposed that Council consider closing road plan 834 LK which completely fragments the current title. Both of these road fragments will then be consolidated into descriptive plan 091 0342, Block 1, Lot 2. On July 21, 2020 Council gave first reading to Bylaw 1823 and the Public Hearing was held on August 18, 2020. After the public hearing, the bylaw and road closure package were forwarded to Alberta Transportation for their sign off. After administration received the package back from Alberta Transportation Council gave second and third reading to Bylaw 1823 on May 11, 2021. When the road closure package was taken to Land Titles for registration by the surveyor, a Notice of Deficiency was issued. It appears that a portion of the road that was included in our bylaw was previously closed, therefore, the wording in the bylaw needs to be amended to exclude that portion of the road right of way. This information was not accessible to our surveyor, as the portion of this road was closed internally by Alberta Transportation years ago. Once this revision has been approved the entire closed portion will be consolidated into our existing lands. 25 2021.11.30 Adopted Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 5.1.1 Page 2 of 3 Version: 2020-02 Discussion/ Options/ Benefits/ Disadvantages: Under the MGA Section 63(2)(g), A Council of a municipality may, by bylaw, revise any of its bylaws or any one or more provisions of them in accordance with this section. (2) A bylaw under this section may (g) make changes, without materially affecting the bylaw in principle or substance, (i) to correct clerical, technical, grammatical or typographical errors in a bylaw (ii) to bring out more clearly what is considered to be the meaning of a bylaw, or (iii) to improve the expression of the law. Approval of this revised bylaw will in fact correct technical errors which will not materially affect the bylaw in principle or substance. Revising a bylaw for these reasons does not require a public hearing. Consolidating these additional lands would bring the parcel size to approximately 7.5-acres. A Real Property Report will not be required for this property. Financial Implications: Plan of Survey – a portion has already been paid to the surveyor for the work completed in 2020. There is a cost remaining for the final survey and registration at Land Titles which will be covered under the operating budget of the Planning Department. Council Options: 1. Council move First Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845 to pursue the road closure and consolidation of a portion of Township Road 28-4, which is an undeveloped road allowance adjacent to the south end of Horseshoe Canyon (more specifically the SW-27-28-21-W4), and road plan 834 LK into descriptive plan 091 0342, Block 1, Lot 2. 2. Council move Second Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845. 3. Council move to consider Third Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845. 4. Council move Third Reading of Revised Bylaw 1845. 5. Council request more information prior to moving further readings of Bylaw 1845.

SE 20-30-25 W4 Plan 9011630 Block C. Background/ Proposal Robert Boese has submitted a letter to Council requesting a letter from Kneehill County be submitted to Alberta Environment & Parks (AE&P) for a variance in order to consider or lessen the setback distance from developments on or near non- operating landfills. Robert Boese is the current owner of a former Kneehill County owned landfill site located on Ptn. SE 20-30-25 W4 Plan 901 1630 Block C. The landfill site was closed on October 1, 1976 and reclaimed the following year. Alberta Environment undertook the reclamation to the standards of the day, which did not include minimum slope or compaction standards, or requirements for record keeping or post closure monitoring. A public auction was held, and the site was purchased by a private individual, and has since changed hands to most recently, Robert Boese in 1985. Manufactured homes have been placed on the site in the past, however no residence exists on the site to date. Robert Boese would like to sell this parcel for residential use, however, is unable to due to current regulations. Subdivision and Development Regulation Section 13 (3) Subject to subsection (5), a development authority shall not issue a development permit for a school, hospital, food establishment or residence, nor may a school, hospital, food establishment or residence be constructed if the building site (b) is within 300 metres of the disposal area of an operating or non-operating landfill, These regulations were put in place in 1995. They do however allow a consent process. (5) The requirements contained in subsections (1) to (4) may be varied by a subdivision authority or a development authority with the written consent of the Deputy Minister of Environment and Parks. The decision on consent was delegated to Alberta Environment District and Regional Approvals Managers in July 2007. 38 2021.11.30 Adopted Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 5.1.2 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2020-02 Discussion/ Options/ Benefits/ Disadvantages: Administration is recommending a letter from Council be submitted as required by AE&P for any request for a variance which if successful could potentially allow development on Ptn. SE 20-30-25 W4 Plan 901 1630 Block C. The request must also contain a commitment by the development authority to include a mechanism whereby future property owners are made aware of the request for consent. Approving a variance request would allow and signify to the applicant to go forward with the further requirements of the AE&P. The list of requirements which must be submitted is quite extensive. (See attached) These requirements must be met by the landowner and would include an engineering report which must also include groundwater and gas monitoring test holes. All information submitted by the applicant must be forwarded to AE&P through the development authority. Financial Implications: Only the subdivision and development authority may submit a request for variance. All reporting and required tests will be funded by the applicant, Robert Boese. Administration will assist where possible when searching the history of the landfill. Council Options: 1. Council approve the submission of a covering letter to Alberta Environment & Parks requesting a variance to allow the landowner to proceed with the process for potential development on the former nuisance grounds located at Ptn. SE 20-30-25 W4 Plan 9011630 Block C. 2. Council deny submission of covering letter to Alberta Environment & Parks. 3. Council request additional information prior to making a decision.

Background/ Proposal Under the Emergency Management Act, Kneehill County must appoint a person as the Director of Emergency Management: Kneehill County is part of the Kneehill Regional Emergency Management Agency with the villages of Acme, Carbon, Linden and towns of Three Hills and Trochu (which all have their own DEM and DDEM’s), under Bylaw #1826. In 2019, Council appointed Debra Grosfield as DEM, Natalie Chubala and Laurie Watt as DDEM’s. Discussion/ Options/ Benefits/ Disadvantages: The Director of Emergency Management plays a vital role in preparing for high-risk events, administering the emergency management program, partnering with other municipalities in emergency preparedness, and managing emergency situations as they arise. A DDEM would step into the DEM role in the absence of the DEM through the internal process of a delegation of authority. With an upcoming change in personnel, and an opportunity for training in January, we are requesting Dan Marsellus takes on the DDEM position in place of Laurie Watt. • Dan Marsellus has taken ICS100, ICS200, ICS300, ICS400, DEM as well as Logistics Chief course, and is part of a Central Alberta All Hazards Incident Management Team. 79 2021.11.30 Adopted Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 5.3.2 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2020-02 • Debra Grosfield has taken the Director of Emergency Management position course as well as ICS100, ICS200, ICS300, ICS400, Planning Section Chief, Finance Admin Chief, Information Officer, and is part of a Central Alberta All Hazards Incident Management Team. • Natalie Chubala has taken ICS100, ICS200, ICS300, ICS400, DEM as well as Situation Unit Leader course, and is part of a Central Alberta All Hazards Incident Management Team. • CAO Haugen, Directors Ziehr and McKennan also have Emergency Management training, as well as many other staff members, making a well rounded team. Financial Implications: No direct financial implications. Our operating budget includes training expenses related to Emergency Management. Council Options: 1. To appoint Debra Grosfield as Director of Emergency Management, Dan Marsellus as Deputy Director of Emergency Management and Natalie Chubala as Deputy Director of Emergency Management for Kneehill County, effective immediately. 2. To appoint other DEM’s and DDEM’s. 3. To have Administration bring back other options for DEM and DDEM’s.

Background/ Proposal The Municipal Energy Champions program supports municipalities by providing free capacity-building support for developing, managing and implementing energy management initiatives. Kneehill County was one of nine municipalities selected to participate in this program for 2021. Kneehill County also participated in the AUMA/AMSC Energy Management Services program along with our Kneehill Regional Partnership Members. This program provided proposed Energy Conservation Measures intended to reduce energy consumption, reduce operational costs, by providing specific capital improvement recommendations. Discussion/ Options/ Benefits/ Disadvantages: Participating in these two programs assisted in the understanding of energy use and provided tools to better track and manage municipal energy consumption.Our team has been able to identify opportunities for energy efficiency and potential capital improvement projects including consideration to implement renewable energy projects. The knowledge gained through this process also provided us with the information to create a high level Municipal Energy Management Plan to guide the municipality in this initiative. Financial Implications: Cost of both programs was free however both required some in-kind contributions of staff. Findings from both programs could result in reduced energy costs at various buildings and facilities for our municipality should report recommendations be implemented. Council Options: 1. Accept update for information.

Regional Fire Services Review 2. Explore Kneehill – Phase 2 3. Emergency Disaster Response Training 4. Recreation Promotion 5. Broadband Study Background/ Proposal The Kneehill Regional Partnership is a group composed of representatives from Kneehill County, Town of Three Hills, Town of Trochu, Village of Linden, Village of Acme, and Village of Carbon. The Kneehill Regional Partnership exists to explore ways in with the members can provide services or programs jointly with the intent of providing services within the region more efficiently and economically. The Partnership also provides another forum for sharing ideas and creating the ability to pursue opportunities regionally that may not be feasible for a single party to pursue alone. The third focus of the Partnership is to provide training opportunities for its membership. The Partnership has contacted member municipalities and has asked for ideas that the members would like the Partnership to organize for training or exploration of regional delivery. Ideas forwarded to the membership must be backed by a Council resolution from that member. Discussion/ Options/ Benefits/ Disadvantages: Administration is recommending that Kneehill County submit the following ideas for partnership review/exploration to the Kneehill Regional Partnership: 1. Regional Fire Services Review – the last one was in 2003 and this would be a great foundation in preparation for the fire agreement re-negotiations in a couple of years 2. Explore Kneehill – Phase 2 – continuation of our Regional Tourism Project 3. Emergency Disaster Response Training – as it pertains to business resumption and business supports in our communities 4. Recreation Promotion – this came up a lot during the Tourism promotion, Explore Kneehill. Urbans would like to see promotion around their recreational facilities, food services, and accommodation. We touch on it as it can be a sub-sector of tourism but we have not been able to commit real time to it or have all the information to proceed. With us only having 89 2021.11.30 Adopted Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 8.1 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2020-01 one major facility (RGMA), it really makes more sense for one of the urbans to be lead, however there is certainly real value to the project. 5. Broadband – the County sat out the last time a regional plan was created, so it may be worth revisiting. Council is free to add additional items to the list to be submitted to the Kneehill Regional Partnership. Financial Implications: NA Council Options: 1. Council may add or remove items from the list as they see fit. 2. Council may submit the list to the Partnership as it.

That Council grant up to $13,335.00 to Kneehill Regional FCSS for the expanded Family Wellness Program, funded from the 2021 Operating Budget and subject to the program being implemented. 2. That Council direct Administration to include up to $13,335 in the proposed 2022 and 2023 operating budgets for the expanded Family Wellness Program. Background/ Proposal Please see the attached letter of request from Kneehill Regional Family and Community Support Services (FCSS). The Family Wellness Workers contribute to the social and emotional wellbeing of all people within the geographic area of Kneehill County, with primary focus on child- related services. Family Wellness Workers provide social and emotional support to youth, families, and other community members. They work to develop, promote and coordinate preventive, family, and personal wellness sessions for schools and the community; and provide information and referrals to community members regarding other helping agencies and work cooperatively with other agencies to promote overall wellness. Discussion/ Options/ Benefits/ Disadvantages: Regional FCSS is currently experiencing increased demand and stress on the Family wellness program and current program workers are overloaded. In order to meet this demand, Regional FCSS is proposing a three year program in which an additional worker will be hired to help address the case load. It is the hope of Regional FCSS that this is a temporary rise and that a temporary program would suffice to meet current demand. Financial Implications: $13,335 in 2021 which can be accommodated within the current operating budget. An additional $13,335 in each of 2022 and 2023. Council Options: 1. Council may approve the funding request. 2. Council may deny the funding request. 3. Council may opt to provide a different level of funding. 91 2021.11.30 Adopted Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 8.2 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2020-02 Recommended Engagement: ☒ Directive Decision (Information Sharing-One way communication) Goal: To educate and inform citizens Tools: ☐ Individual Notification or ☒ Public Notification ☐ Consultative Decision (Consulting the Public – Two way communication) Goal: To seek feedback, test ideas, develop concepts and collaborative solutions Tools: ☐ Public Hearing ☐ Open House ☐ Focus Group ☐ Other- ☐ Collaborative Decision (Active Participation- Share or delegate decision making) Goal: To share or delegate decision making Tools: ☐ Participatory Decision Making ☐ Inter-Municipal Agreement ☐ Other- Attachments: FCSS request letter Follow-up Actions: Administration will inform Regional FCSS of Council’s decision.

Concern was expressed over the higher social and emotional needs being seen for the children, youth, and families in our Kneehill area and ongoing consistent needs being seen to support strong and healthy relationships and seniors. Our determination is that this increased demand around children and youth needs is in connection to the pandemic and measures being taken to mitigate the spread of the virus. Our current Family Wellness Workers are carrying a caseload that is beyond sustainable, as they have an ongoing client load of over 70 individuals in need of regular support, plus their onetime student encounters. Our anticipation is that the Family Wellness Workers would, worst case scenario, each be managing a client list of up to 25 ongoing clients in need, plus be able to manage some additional programming in the areas of early intervention and prevention both in the schools, with home school students and families within the community. In recognition of the higher social and emotional needs for children, youth and families and the added pressure on our Family Wellness Workers, the Board is looking for a short-term solution to address this issue. Our objective is to meet the current emergent situation in order to prevent critical outcomes for students and families, protect our Family Wellness Workers from burnout due to overload and workplace stress, and to allow for a more balanced workload that includes prevention and early intervention. After many options were explored, the Kneehill Regional FCSS board is reaching out to all our partnering municipalities and requesting an increase in our funding for the next three (3) years to support the addition of a full-time staff position to assist 93 2021.11.30 Adopted Package Tel: (403) 443-3800 or (403) 443-0793 Email: Shelley@krfcss.com 779 – 2 Street Northeast, Box 400 Three Hills, AB T0M 2A0 our organization in meeting the social and emotional wellbeing of our area children, youth, and families. Kneehill Regional FCSS is planning to contribute $46,500.00 annually from our reserves for the next three years but will still have insufficient funds for this position, which the Board believes to be essential for our area children, youth, and their families. We are requesting that our partnering municipalities collectively contribute an additional $30,000 each year for the next three years, which would allow this position to be implemented. The enclosed document outlines the financial request from each municipality. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
