What we do
We invest in youth by:
•Exploring fundamental financial literacy
concepts (e.g. how to budget, how to manage
debt) that will give them the skills and tools to
weather economic decline, similar to our
current situation.
•Enabling students to be work-ready, so they
are prepared for the changing world of work
and are able to adapt to ever-evolving
working landscapes. The post-pandemic
world students will soon enter will likely look
much different.
•Encouraging youth to discover their
entrepreneurial spirit and develop business,
creativity, communication and problem-
solving skills so they are prepared for new
opportunities, no matter what the future
holds.

AGENDA ITEM #
5.2.1
Page 1 of 2
Version: 2020-02
Subject: Agricultural Fieldman Appointment
Meeting Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Prepared By: Shelby Sherwick - Manager of Parks & Agriculture Services
Presented By: Laurie Watt – Director of Community Services
Link to Strat Plan: Providing Good Governance
Recommended
Motion:
That Council appoints Shelby Sherwick as Agricultural Fieldman for Kneehill
County.
Background/
Proposal
In compliance with the Alberta Agricultural Service Board Act Section 8 and
subsection (1), (2), & (3) below, the Fieldman must be made a Designated Officer
through Council.
8(1) If a council has established a board, the council, in
consultation with the board, must appoint a qualified person as
agricultural fieldman to implement agricultural policies and
programs and to manage the agricultural resources of the
municipality.
(2) The agricultural fieldman shall act as a designated officer of
the municipality
(a) in carrying out the functions, duties and powers of the
municipality under any Act relating to agriculture, and
(b) in implementing projects respecting agriculture agreed on
between the council and the Minister.
(3) An agricultural fieldman is, in the municipality employing that
fieldman,
(a) a municipal inspector under the Weed Control Act,
(b) an inspector of the municipality under the Agricultural
Pests Act, and
(c) a soil conservation officer of the municipality under the

RSA 1980 cA-11 s12;1997 c1 s11
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
The Agricultural Fieldman is a required position under the Agricultural Service
Board (ASB) Act, if a municipality has an ASB and subsequent ASB grant
agreement in place between itself and the Province. In the past, the incumbent to
the Manager Parks and Ag Services position has been appointed by Council to the
Ag Fieldman role.
Fallon Sherlock was appointed in the interim while the Manager role was being
filled. Shelby has recently completed her Certified Agricultural Fieldman training and
has been working in the Ag Services & Parks Department for over 5 years. She
brings a strong understanding of the Provincial Acts and legislated requirements for
this appointment.

Version: 2020-02
Subject: RCMP Retroactive Payment Clarification
Meeting Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Prepared By: Mike Haugen
Presented By: Mike Haugen, CAO
Link to Strat Plan: Level of Service
Recommended
Motion:
That Council provide a letter of support to MP Martin Shields for use in
seeking clarification regarding retroactive RCMP payments from the Minister
of Public Safety and President of the Treasury Board.
Background/
Proposal
Costs of policing are currently shared by the Federal, Provincial, and municipal
governments. Each year, Kneehill County includes this expense in its annual
operating budget. This funding is paid to the Province of Alberta.
The RCMP has entered into a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the
Federal Government. A part of that agreement included retroactive salary coverage
for up to five (5) years. How the Federal Government provides this funding is
outside of the scope of the agreement.
MP Martin Shields is writing a letter to the Minister of Public Safety and President of
Treasury Board for further clarification regarding where this funding will come from
and is asking for municipalities to provide letters of support in order to strengthen
this request.
MP Shields is requesting that letters be sent to his office prior to January 21st, 2022.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
As municipalities are a partial funder of policing services, there is concern that
additional costs may be imposed on municipalities as a result of providing
retroactive payments.
There has been no information or details regarding whether or not additional
funding will ultimately be imposed at the local level and additional information and
clarify on this topic is being sought.
Administration is recommending that Council support obtaining additional
information on this topic.
Financial
Implications:
There are no financial implications associated with the recommended motion to
provide a letter of support.
Council Options:
1. Council may opt to provide a letter of support.
2. Council may opt to not provide a letter of support.

Subject: Opportunity to Meet with Minister of Municipal Affairs
Meeting Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Prepared By: Mike Haugen, CAO
Presented By: Mike Haugen, CAO

Recommended
Motion:
That Council decline the opportunity to formally meet with the Minister of
Municipal Affairs at the RMA Spring Convention.
Background/
Proposal
At each RMA Convention there is opportunity to meet with various Ministers and
Government Departments in order to discuss local concerns or elevate issues.
Municipal Affairs has asked that any municipality wishing to meet with the
Honourable Ric McIver, Minister of Municipal Affairs submit a request no later than
January 24th, 2022.
Meeting times with the Minister are scheduled for approximately 15 minutes per
municipality.
If Council is wishing to submit a request, Municipal Affairs has asked that the one
specific policy item or issue wanting to be discussed is outlined.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
The Minister generally receives more requests than can be accommodated. As
such requests are generally assessed based on the following:
• Policy items or issues directly relevant to the Minister of Municipal Affairs
and the department will be given priority.
• Municipalities located within the Capital Region can be more easily
accommodated throughout the year, so priority will be given to requests
from municipalities at a distance from Edmonton and to municipalities with
whom Minister McIver has not yet had an opportunity to meet.
• Meeting requests received after the deadline will not be considered for the
convention, but may be considered for future meeting opportunities.
Generally, if Council wishes to formally engage with the Minister it is encouraged
that a specific and pressing topic be present.
Financial
Implications:
None
Council Options:
1. Council may opt to decline the invitation.
2. Council may opt to request a meeting to discuss the issue of ________.
