AGENDA ITEM #

Page 1 of 1
Version: 2020-02
Subject: Bylaw 1853 Redesignation – Agriculture District to Light Industrial District
Meeting Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2022
Prepared By: Barb Hazelton, Manager of Planning & Development
Presented By: Barb Hazelton
Link to Strat Plan: Pursuing Focused Growth
Background/
Proposal
Fire Technology Corp. have applied to redesignate a 1.04-acre portion of SE 28-32-
26 W4 from the Agriculture District to the Light Industrial District.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
The subject parcel is owned by GVF Contracting Ltd. (Gordon Ferguson) It is
accessed by Range Road 26-3 approximately 1.5 miles south of Hwy. 27 and just
over 2 km SW of the Hamlet of Torrington. The area of the parcel to be considered
is currently being leased by Ember Resources Ltd. Fire Technology is looking to
lease a 1.04-acre portion of this existing leased area for a micropower generation
and cryptocurrency mining facility.
Fire Technology Corp. is a registered corporation in Alberta. The parent company
is a private fund management institution registered in China. The have built a
number of cryptocurrency mining facilities in China as well as one in Kazakhstan.
Cryptocurrency mining requires the use of sophisticated computers with significant
electricity needs. While some digital currency processing facilities are directly
connected to the electrical grid to fulfill their energy needs, others are not connected
and instead use electricity generated from power plants located on-site. This is the
case with this facility.
The facility will utilize approximately 15% of the area of the existing surface lease
and consist of seven to nine natural gas-powered generator container/skids and
seven to nine crypto mining containers/skids. Each mining container will contain
approximately 300 mining machines with multiple fans. Additional onsite equipment
will consist of interconnecting piping, power cables and a small office with
communication equipment.
The project will be completed in two phases; however, both are anticipated to be
completed in 2022. The initial phase will be approximately 0.9 MW and phase two
will be approximately 9.0 MW for a total of 9.9 MW.
As of April 25, 2022, the exemption for own-use power plants greater than 1 MW
and less than 10 MW that meet specific criteria has been eliminated by the AUC. So
now all power plants require AUC approval. This is a multi-jurisdictional approval.
The Alberta Utility Commission is the approving authority for the gas-powered
generators and the municipality is the approving authority for the bitcoin containers.

RELEVANT LEGISLATION:
Provincial (cite)- N/A
Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- Kneehill County Policy #13-4
BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:
Kneehill County Dust Suppression Policy 13-4 details that rates for the spec crude and calcium
applications will be set based on product costs as of March in the current year. The product pricing for
Spec Crude was delayed due to supplier issues but has now been received.
The product cost of Spec Crude has risen significantly since 2021. The pricing for MC-250 oil has risen
from $0.71/litre in 2021 to $1.20/litre in 2022. The contracted labour to install the product remains
consistent at $195/hour for the spray truck and labour. To remain consistent with calcium pricing this fee
does not include County applied gravel or equipment costs.
This equates to a total cost of product and application of $61.17 per metre.
DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Dust abatement products mitigate the impact of dust on properties located adjacent to gravel roads within
the County.
FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS:
The fees charged for dust control application are equivalent to the cost of product and application.

RELEVANT LEGISLATION:
Provincial (cite)- Upon finding a typographical error in an approved bylaw, the Council may revise a
bylaw as per Municipal Government Act, Section 63.
Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- n/a
BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:
The Property Tax Bylaw authorizes the Council to impose a tax in respect of property in the municipality
to raise revenue to be used toward the payment of the expenditures as set out in the County’s Operating
Budget. In addition to the monies required to support County operations, funds are required to be
collected and remitted to both the province for school purposes and to the Kneehill Housing Corporation
to support housing and related services provided.
Administration will mail out the combined assessment/taxation notices on June 15th and the Current Due
Date & Penalty Bylaw states that taxes are due on or before October 31st.
The 2022 Tax Rate Bylaw was approved at the April 26, 2022 Council meeting and since that time, a
typographical error has been found. Upon finding this error, it is prudent to revise the bylaw in order to
correct this error as per Section 63 or replace the bylaw all together.
DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Upon review of the 2022 Tax Rate Bylaw, administration found a typographical error. This error does not
change the authority or intent of the original bylaw and only requires a revision or replacement to clean it
up for clarification purposes.
The error was found in Section 3, in the chart indicating the Total Taxation Rates for each Assessment
Category. This error did not amend any tax revenue totals or requisition totals.

Page 2 of 2
Version: 2022-02
As administration had ample time to correct this error, we have provided a new Bylaw that will repeal the
original Bylaw #1848, rather than just a revision.
FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS:
The approval of the Tax Rate Bylaw ensures that administration can issue the tax notices which provide
the total taxation revenues as shown in the operating budget for the County. The funds will be expensed
per Council policy and Council will receive quarterly reporting throughout the year.
