The purpose of these plans is to foster a collaborative planning approach for lands along the common border between the two municipalities. This will ensure that certain identified areas are viewed with regional perspective. The legislation was later amended by allowing an exception to this requirement if both municipalities agree they do not require one. Included in this exception was the opportunity to revoke the agreement at any time by giving written notice to the other party. Where notice is given, the municipalities must comply within one year from the date of the notice. MGA Section 631(2). Originally Starland County and Kneehill County agreed to be exempt from the requirement to have an IDP. Upon further reflection and due to the potential increase for proposed development on marginal lands that many municipalities are facing, it was determined that a more regional approach to this plan area would be beneficial. By implementing a plan that contains both guidelines for future uses as well as agreed dispute mechanisms, municipalities can reach agreement without negative impacts on either municipality. From the perspective of both municipalities, enhanced management of the land within the IDP area identified will prove advantageous for the long-term interests of the municipalities and their residents. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: A proposed draft was created, and circulated to the administration from both municipalities, and a meeting was held on September 8th at Starland County. Following this meeting, additional revisions were made to the plan based on the feedback received. The revised plan was recirculated for any additional feedback. To date, no additional feedback has been received. A committee meeting with representatives from both municipalities was held on November 14, 2022, at the Kneehill County office. This gave an opportunity for those appointed to the Committee to have an 7 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted PUBLIC HEARING REPORT AGENDA ITEM # 3.1 opportunity to review and revise the proposed draft prior to releasing the document for public review. The attached draft is the outcome of this review. The draft notes the following principles: • Mutual respect and equity; • Cooperation, collaboration, communication, and trust; • To promote open communication between the municipalities, the public, and interested stakeholders, and provide meaningful involvement and consultation; • Respect for each other’s jurisdictional autonomy and integrity; • Coordinated, consistent and timely response; • Respect for the environment and natural capital; • Public engagement and consultation; • To utilize the IDP as a guide to collaboratively plan for lands within the IDP Area that will promote opportunities for residential, commercial, industrial and economic development while minimizing land use and environmental impacts. There were no further revisions to the document. The next step in the process is to provide an opportunity for public comments and feedback. Legislative process requires a public hearing to be held prior to second reading. Landowners within the defined plan area have all been notified regarding the proposed IDP.

INTRODUCTION PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purpose of the Kneehill County and Starland County Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is to foster a collaborative planning approach for lands along the common border between the two counties (See attached maps). We recognize that Intermunicipal planning is an effort between two or more municipalities to make long term land use planning decisions. The Municipal Government Act (MGA) encourages municipalities that share a common boundary to develop an Intermunicipal Development Plan. These Plans will ensure that certain identified areas are viewed with a regional perspective by establishing a long-term strategy which balances the interests of both municipalities. Municipalities across the Province of Alberta are experiencing unprecedented growth. Local economies based on agriculture, oil and gas and business are thriving, attracting people to live and work in Alberta. Rural, and regional communities are encountering development pressures as well. Shared borders can present potential conflicts if land uses and/or activities are incompatible. When municipalities work in isolation, the land use occurring on one side of the boundary can significantly impact adjacent land uses on the other. Municipalities are mandated to work together to adopt IDPs to: • promote consultation, coordination, and cooperation regarding planning matters of joint interest within a defined planning area; • provide a framework for addressing land use concerns with regard to joint planning matters; • establish procedure for dealing with development proposals within a defined planning area; and • address any other matters relating to development considered necessary within a joint planning area. An IDP is a planning tool that can provide numerous benefits to participating municipalities, which may include, but are not limited to the following: • reinforcing and protecting both municipalities’ development philosophies and goals while mitigating the potential for future intermunicipal conflict; • municipal cost savings, as a result of infrastructure and service sharing, which also provides residents with a higher quality of life; and Dr a f t 13 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 4 | P a g e • ensuring development for both municipalities occur in an orderly, economic, efficient and harmonious manner that is sustainable by considering existing development conditions and future municipal goals. The Plan contains policy that is to be used as a framework for working cooperatively, communicating, and making decisions in each municipality. As such, the IDP must also provide for the following: • Conflict resolution procedures; • A process to amend or repeal the Plan; and • Documentation for administration of the Plan. These procedures will provide more clarity between the partnering municipalities to ensure the administrative functions required through the Plan are understood. Each municipality is ultimately responsible for making decisions within their own municipal jurisdiction. For the purposes of this process, both Starland County and Kneehill County agree to respect the following guiding principles: • Mutual respect and equity; • Cooperation, collaboration, communication, and trust; • To promote open communication between the municipalities, the public, and interested stakeholders, and provide meaningful involvement and consultation. • Respect for each other’s jurisdictional autonomy and integrity; • Coordinated, consistent and timely response; • Respect for the environment and natural capital; • Public engagement and consultation; • To utilize the IDP as a guide to collaboratively plan for lands within the IDP Area that will promote opportunities for residential, commercial, industrial and economic development while minimizing land use and environmental impacts. The meaning of words or terms used in this Plan shall be determined by reference in the following priority: to the Act, the subject Municipal Development Plan or Land Use Bylaw and for words or terms which are not defined in the above sources reference shall be made to the Oxford English Dictionary. Dr a f t 14 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 5 | P a g e II. MUNICIPAL PROFILES STARLAND COUNTY Starland County is a municipality that lies entirely in the transition zone between the Grassland and Parkland Natural Regions of Alberta. Its western border lies along the Red Deer River which encompasses some of the most pristine badlands ecosystems in Alberta. Starland County has a population of 1,821 which include four hamlets. The majority of the land within the defined plan area is zoned Agriculture General Land Use District. KNEEHILL COUNTY Kneehill County is located in south central Alberta, situated between Red Deer County to the north, Mountain View County to the west, and Starland County to the east. The majority of the land is zoned for agricultural uses, allowing the population of 4,992 to enjoy a rural way of life. Oil and gas is the second major industry in the region. The eastern border of Kneehill County runs along the Red Deer River valley down to the heart of the Canadian Badlands, making tourism a viable market opportunity. Dr a f t 15 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 6 | P a g e III. LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs) are not mandatory for all municipalities to complete with their municipal neighbours. Specifically, the MGA states: 631(1) Two or more councils of municipalities that have common boundaries that are not members of a growth region as defined in section 708.01 must, by each passing a bylaw in accordance with this Part or in accordance with sections 12 and 692, adopt an intermunicipal development plan to include those areas of land lying within the boundaries of the municipalities as they consider necessary. (2) Subsection (1), does not require municipalities to adopt an intermunicipal development plan with each other if they agree that they do not require one, but any of the municipalities may revoke its agreement at any time by giving written notice to the other or others, and where that notice is given the municipalities must comply with subsection (1) within one year from the date of the notice unless an exemption is ordered under subsection (3), and the order may contain any terms and conditions that the Minister considers necessary. 631(8) An Intermunicipal Development Plan a) must address i. the future land use within the area, ii. the manner of and the proposals for future development in the area, iii. the provision of transportation systems for the area, either generally or specifically, iv. the co-ordination of Intermunicipal programs relating to the physical, social and economic development of the area, v. environmental matters within the area, either generally or specifically, vi. any other matter related to the physical, social or economic development of the area that the councils consider necessary, and b) must include i. a procedure to be used to resolve or attempt to resolve any conflict between the municipalities that have adopted the plan, ii. a procedure to be used, by one or more municipalities, to amend or repeal the plan, and iii. provisions relating to the administration of the plan (10) In creating an intermunicipal development plan, municipalities must negotiate in good faith. Dr a f t 16 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 7 | P a g e IV. PLAN AREA PLAN AREA CHARACTERISTICS The Plan Area consists of an area approximately 1.6 km (1 mile) on either side of the shared municipal border which is the Red Deer River. This Plan Area includes approximately 32 sections of land in each municipality or 16,575 hectares (40,960 acres) and is illustrated on the attached maps. Key characteristics of the Plan Area include the following: AGRICULTURE & SOIL • Agriculture is the primary land use of the area • There is a mix of agricultural operations including grazing and crops • The region contains a variety of soil characteristics from CLI level 1-7 NATURAL LANDSCAPE • There are many areas of natural habitat remaining due to proximity to the Red Deer River Valley. • There are numerous lands that have been designated to the crown within the Plan Area. TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE • Highways 585, and 27 East are east/west, bridge connections between Starland County and Kneehill County. • Blerriot Ferry is the connection on Highway 838 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT • There is minimal residential development within the Plan Area, primarily farmsteads and acreages. ENERGY • There are numerous well sites and pipelines within the Plan Area (see attached map) Dr a f t 17 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 8 | P a g e LAND USE DESIGNATIONS The existing land use designations are determined by each county’s land use bylaw and are predominantly Agriculture General Land Use District (A) in Starland County and Agriculture District (A) in Kneehill County. V. INTERMUNICIPAL LAND USE POLICIES The land use policies contained in this Plan are intended to provide direction to Starland County and Kneehill County administration, subdivision and development authorities and Councils to encourage and manage the future development of lands contained within the Plan Area. GENERAL LAND USE POLICIES INTENT The general land use policies address matters that apply to the entire Plan Area and are intended to provide an overall guiding direction for the IDP. POLICIES 1. The primary land use in the Plan Area is agriculture and grazing and non-agricultural uses should be aligned with each municipality’s municipal development plan and are encouraged to be located in close proximity to a provincial highway. 2. The municipalities, as per this Plan, shall strive to engage in effective dialogue when considering land use in the Plan Area while still maintaining complete jurisdiction on lands within their own boundaries. 3. The municipalities may collaborate and investigate methods of giving support to projects that may mutually benefit or enhance the quality of life of residents from both municipalities. This could be in the form of in-kind donations, materials, municipal letters of support, unified government lobbying, application for grants, or other more permanent arrangements upon mutual agreement. 4. Both municipalities agree to jointly discuss ways to cooperate with provincial and federal agencies and utility providers to help facilitate the efficient delivery of infrastructure and services that are of a mutual benefit. 5. Where an intermunicipal referral is required by legislation and the policies contained in this Plan, both municipalities agree to share Dr a f t 18 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 9 | P a g e the mailing address and property ownership information for circulation purposes with the adjacent municipality, and where applicable, the municipality’s processing agency. 6. All redesignation, subdivision and discretionary use development applications for lands within the Plan Area shall be referred to the other municipality for comment prior to a decision being rendered. AGRICULTURE INTENT Agriculture and grazing will continue to be the primary land use in the Plan Area, and non-agricultural uses should be considered only in such areas where they will not negatively impact agriculture and grazing. POLICIES 1. Agriculture and grazing shall be the primary use in the Plan Area. 2. Both municipalities will strive to work cooperatively to encourage good neighbour farming practices, such as dust, weed and insect control, adjacent to developed areas through best management practices and Alberta Agriculture guidelines. 3. If disputes or complaints in either municipality should arise between ratepayers and agricultural operators, the municipality receiving the complaint shall strive to direct the affected parties to the appropriate agency, government department or municipality for consultation or resolution wherever necessary. RESOURCE EXTRACTION & RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT INTENT Resource extraction is recognized as important to the local economy and to the maintenance of transportation routes and other infrastructure. However, impacts from resource extraction operations may affect nearby lands and must be addressed through proper siting and operation practices. Dr a f t 19 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 10 | P a g e POLICIES 1. Applications for a new or expanded aggregate extraction operation within the Plan Area shall be referred to the adjacent municipality. 2. Applications for a new or expanded aggregate extraction operation that proposes the use of roadways within the jurisdiction of the adjacent municipality shall be referred to the adjacent municipality. Either municipality may require an agreement regarding the construction, repair, and maintenance of any municipal roads which may be impacted by natural resource extraction development, when the development requires access to come from the other municipality’s road. 3. Applications for new or expanded renewable energy development within the Plan Area shall be referred to the adjacent municipality for information. The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) is the approving authority for renewable energy, however there is an opportunity for a municipality to contemplate issues not previously considered by the AUC as long as any municipal approval is consistent with the approval issued by the AUC. 4. Applications for new or expanded telecommunications towers within the Plan Area shall be referred to the adjacent municipality. These applications are Federal jurisdiction under the Radiocommunication Act. The accompanying regulations do require applicants to contact the local land-use authority to determine local requirements regarding antenna systems. Proponents must follow the land- use consultation process for the siting of an antenna system. 5. Applicants shall be encouraged to co-locate telecommunications facilities on existing towers where feasible. ENVIRONMENTAL & OPEN SPACE POLICIES INTENT Environmental features do not follow pre-defined municipal boundaries and impacts to natural areas within one municipality can have an effect on the other side of the border. This section aims to ensure that natural areas are respected and allows for opportunities to enhance these features where appropriate. The Red Deer River valley (bed and shore) is owned by the crown. Any development done in the plan area must take into account these crown lands which have environmental significance. POLICIES 1. Applications affecting wetlands and/or riparian areas located within the Plan Area shall be circulated to the adjacent municipality. Dr a f t 20 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 11 | P a g e 2. Applications affecting wetlands and/or riparian areas located within the Plan Area should be assessed in accordance with the environmental policies of the relevant plans for the municipality in which it was received 3. The municipalities will recognize the value of the natural environment and encourage the preservation of environmentally significant areas within the Plan Area. 4. Development on slopes and river valleys within natural areas is generally discouraged. However, where development is proposed on these natural features, it will proceed only in accordance with the respective municipality’s statutory plans, applicable bylaws, and other municipal policies and regulations. 5. Either municipality shall refer to the other municipality any new or amended municipal bylaw or policy pertaining to environmental or biophysical matters within the Plan Area. HISTORICAL RESOURCES DESIGNATION Almost all of the land contained within the Plan Area falls under an Historical Resource Designation. Ministry of Culture is responsible for the examination, preservation and protection of Alberta’s historic resources on behalf of the people of Alberta as mandated by the Historical Resources Act. The Listing identifies lands that contain, or have high potential to contain, historic resources such as archaeological, paleontological, historic or aboriginal traditional use sites. Each land parcel in the Listing has been assigned an Historic Resource Value (HRV) ranging from 1 to 5. Developments within these lands may require an Historic Resources Impact Assessment (HRIA) prior to development. These assessments must be completed by a qualified heritage consultant, at the developer’s expense. These assessments must be submitted to the department of Alberta Culture and Status of Women for approval. TRANSPORTATION INTENT It is important that each municipality take into consideration the impact of development on municipal roads located within the Plan Area that may impact the area’s transportation infrastructure. POLICIES 1. Each municipality shall be notified of any subdivision or development proposal in the other municipality that will result in access being required from a road under its control or management. The affected municipality may request to obtain any associated traffic studies and must give its comments in writing within the notification period. If comments are not received within the notification period, it will be determined the municipality has no comments. 2. Each municipality shall be notified of any road closure or development of an undeveloped road that will result in access being increased, decreased or removed for a road under it control or management. The affected municipality may request to obtain any associated traffic studies and Dr a f t 21 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted 12 | P a g e must give its comments in writing within the notification period. If comments are not received within the notification period, it will be determined the municipality has no comments. 3. Either municipality may require a developer to enter into a road use agreement to control traffic, manage dust control or maintenance issues if access to the development is required from a road under its control or jurisdiction. 4. The road network shall be maintained by the municipality having jurisdiction, unless a separate agreement specifies joint maintenance, maintenance swap, or any other terms acceptable to both municipalities. 5. When required by Alberta Transportation, developers shall conduct traffic studies with respect to the impact and access onto provincial highways. Any upgrading identified by a traffic study conducted by a developer with respect to a highway shall be implemented by the developer at its sole cost and to the satisfaction of Alberta Transportation. VI. PLAN ADMINISTRATION & IMPLEMENTATION The administration and implementation of this Plan is intended to be an ongoing process to ensure it is maintained and remains applicable. This will assist Starland County and Kneehill County administrations, subdivision and development authorities and Councils with the initial and ongoing execution of this Plan over its lifespan. Intermunicipal Development Plan Committee INTENT A committee with joint representation will ensure continued dialogue and cooperation, as the purpose of this committee is to promote active cooperation and conflict resolution through a consensus-based approach. POLICIES 1. For the purposes of administering monitoring of the IDP, Starland County and Kneehill County will establish the Intermunicipal Development Plan Committee (the Committee) comprised of an even number of members of Council from both municipalities. Each municipality may appoint an alternate Committee member in the event a regular member cannot attend a scheduled meeting. Alternate Committee members shall have standing. 2.

Dr a f t 49 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 4.1 Page 1 of 2 Version: 2022-02 Subject: Bridge File #06893 Status Update Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 13, 2022 Prepared By: Mike Ziehr, Director of Infrastructure Presented By: Mike Ziehr, Director of Infrastructure RECOMMENDED MOTION: That Council forward a letter to the Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors relaying Kneehill County’s concern with the current condition of Bridge File #6893 and requesting a response from the Province on the estimated repair or replacement schedule. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☒ ☐ ☐ ☒ ☒ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- Not applicable Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- Not applicable BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: A concern has been raised regarding the current condition of the bridge on Highway 587 crossing the Bigelow Reservoir. The bridge was constructed in 1971 and has steadily declined in condition as time has passed. A recent bridge inspection in February 2022 by the Province indicated many deficiencies in the bridge substructure and wearing surface including major spalling of the concrete on the bridge girders and deep longitudinal cracks along these girder separations, resulting in a low rating being given to the structure. In response to inquiries on plans for repair, AT representatives have noted that they are aware of the current condition but have no immediate plans to replace the structure. Alternatively, the department may look at lowering speed limits and restricting weights on the bridge until budgets allow the replacement. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Ratepayers and industries within Kneehill County rely on this bridge to provide efficient transportation of people and products across the northern portion of the County. The unplanned closure of this bridge due to failure or potential loading restrictions would create a five-mile detour around and place added strain on local municipal roads. The estimated daily traffic on this section of road is between 220 and 300 vehicles per day (vpd). This RFD is intended to inform the province of Kneehill County’s concern on the condition of the bridge and provide the opportunity for the province to address these concerns. FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial or staffing implications as a result of this request for decision. 50 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 4.1 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 RECOMMENDED ENGAGEMENT: Directive Decision (Information Sharing, One-Way Communication Tools: Individual Notification Other: ATTACHMENTS: Draft letter to the Minister of Transportation Bridge File #6893 low rating letter COUNCIL OPTIONS: 1.

The bridge is a three span two lane structure that was originally constructed in 1971. The condition has deteriorated rapidly in more recent years with failing bridge girder concrete and substantial longitudinal cracks that have formed along the separating bridge girders, causing a safety risk to the travelling public. This deterioration has also led to a very low “2” rating being issued to the bridge, signifying that urgent repairs should be undertaken. When consulting with Alberta Transportation representatives, it was noted that the poor condition of the bridge is known to the department and potential suggested remedies include lowering speeds, installing more signage and restricting weights to further extend the lifespan. It is Kneehill County’s understanding that the bridge is not on a future replacement plan or budget. The bridge is located Northwest of the Town of Three Hills and provides a vital link to the transportation network in the area. The bridge is utilized by the many energy and agricultural industry partners both in the region and travelling through Kneehill County. Weight restrictions or closures of this bridge would result in detrimental effects to the surrounding local road network and strain our resources to manage. We would appreciate if you could investigate this issue and provide a response on the current status of the repair or replacement plan for this bridge file. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Currently when we do not receive any applications for a discretionary use development permit or a subdivision, we come back to Council to make a motion to cancel the specific meeting. Going forward administration is proposing that when we need to cancel an MPC meeting due to lack of applications Council will agree that we can cancel the meeting with an email notice, and we do not need to come back to Council for each specific meeting cancellation.

That Council approve the 2023 Interim Operating Budget as detailed in Appendix A. 2. That Council approve an additional draw of $10,000 from the Revenue Stabilization Reserve to fund the Road Network Study operating project. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☐ ☐ ☐ ☒ ☒ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- Municipalities are required to adopt an interim operating budget to continue day to day operations until the annual operating budget is adopted by Council. Section 242(2) of the Municipal Government Act provides the legislative authority for Councils to adopt an interim operating budget for part of a calendar year. BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: The fiscal year for all municipalities in Alberta is the calendar year – starting January 1st and ending December 31st. The approval of an interim operating budget is required to comply with legislation since the 2023 Annual Operating Budget will not be adopted prior to January 1, 2023. For information purposes, Administration has included a listing of ongoing capital and operating projects that were approved through the 2022 budget, including the expected status as at December 31, 2022. (Appendix B). A more robust capital and operating projects update will be provided as part of the 2022 Q4 Financial Report. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Interim Operating Budget The approval of the Interim Operating Budget will allow for the payment of expenses for normal operating needs and the provision of services to ratepayers. Administration is recommending that Council pass an Interim Operating Budget based on approximately 50% of the approved 2022 Operating Budget as detailed in Appendix A. Some budgetary accounts have been reflected at less than 50% when they relate to non-recurring items or known factors that would 57 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 6.1 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 adjust the 2023 budget compared to 2022.

Motion #2 requests an additional draw of $10,000 from the Revenue Stabilization Reserve in order to increase the project budget to $60,000. FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: Pending Council approval, an additional draw of $10,000 will be made from the Revenue Stabilization Reserve to fund the Road Network Study operating project. The approval of the interim budget would meet the legislative requirements and allow for a baseline to monitor revenues and expenditures prior to the annual budget being adopted.

That Council give first reading to Bylaw #1872, that being a bylaw to authorize the short- term borrowing of funds, from time to time, as may be necessary to meet the financial obligations of Kneehill County. 2. The Council give second reading to Bylaw #1872. 3. The Council give unanimous consent for third and final reading to Bylaw #1872. 4. That Council give third reading to Bylaw #1872. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☐ ☐ ☐ ☒ ☒ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- Section 251 of the Municipal Government Act requires that all borrowing must be done through by-law. Sections 256 and 257 set out the requirements for short-term borrowing related to operating and capital expenditures. BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: The Municipal Government Act requires any borrowing of funds made by the municipality be done through by-law. This bylaw is brought forward to Council annually to allow for the short-term borrowing of funds as required for cash flow purposes. It has been more than 10 years since the County has utilized its temporary borrowing capacity, and it is not anticipated that it will be utilized during 2023. However, it is good financial planning to have this bylaw in place in case it is required to maintain adequate cash flows for operations within the scope of the approved budget. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The County has banking arrangements through Servus Credit Union which provides for temporary short- term borrowing. The main purpose of this line of credit is to ensure cash is available to meet the County’s financial obligations. 61 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 6.2 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 Finance regularly monitors the County’s investment portfolio with respect to levels of cash, near-cash (T- bills), short and long-term investments. This analysis assists our projection of cash flows in the near and intermediate term. Cash flow projections are prepared to determine the estimated levels of funds required on a monthly basis to meet the County’s financial obligations and invest the estimated available funds in order to maximize the County’s investment income. Review of the internally prepared projected cash flow forecasting indicates that the County has adequate cash flow. It is recommended that Council approve a short-term borrowing bylaw for $2,500,000 should additional funds be needed in the future. The proposed bylaw is attached to this report. Under the Municipal Government Act there is no requirement for advertising of the bylaw since the term is under one-year. FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: No additional staffing requirements outside of the scope of existing work plans are associated with this report. RECOMMENDED ENGAGEMENT: Directive Decision (Information Sharing, One-Way Communication Tools: Public Notification Other: ATTACHMENTS: Appendix A: Bylaw No 1872 Short-Term Borrowing COUNCIL OPTIONS: 1. That Council give all three readings to Bylaw #1872. 2. That Council give first and second reading to Bylaw #1872. 3. That Council receives this report for information.

NOW THEREFORE, the Council of Kneehill County, hereinafter called the “Corporation”, in the Province of Alberta, duly assembled, enacts as follows: 1. That the Council of the Corporation does authorize borrowing from Servus Credit Union a sum or sums not exceeding Two Million Five Hundred Thousand ($2,500,000.00) Dollars, which the Council deems necessary to expend to meet the current operating expenditures and capital obligations of the Corporation, until such time taxes levied or to be levied therefore can be collected, or as grants can be received from the Province of Alberta or Government of Canada, and as the Corporation applies for and receives funds by way of issuance of long-term debenture, and to pay or agree to pay interest on the sum or sums so borrowed either in advance or at maturity, and in either case after maturity, at such rate as may be agreed upon from time to time between Council and Servus Credit Union. 2. That the sum or sums so borrowed be evidenced and secured by the promissory note or notes of the Reeve or Deputy Reeve and Chief Administrative Officer or designate of the Corporation given on its behalf, and the said Reeve or Deputy Reeve and Chief Administrative Officer or designate are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and give such promissory note or notes as may be required by Servus Credit Union and to determine and agree upon from time to time the rate of interest applicable to the amount of same borrowed hereunder, remaining from time to time outstanding. 3. That the Council of the Corporation does hereby pledge to Servus Credit Union security for the money borrowed hereunder, unpaid taxes and penalties on taxes assessed and/or levied by the Corporation in previous years together with penalties thereon and taxes 63 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted Bylaw No. 1872, Short-Term Borrowing Page 2 of 2 assessed or to be assessed and/or to be levied for the current year and the following year, equal only to the amount of used promissory note or notes including interest but not to exceed the sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand ($2,500,000.00) Dollars. 4.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☒ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- N/A Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- N/A BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: Kneehill County has been a member of the Marigold Library System since March 11, 2006. Prior to that Kneehill County residents had to pay for their library memberships. Residents of the County can access library services free of charge at any Marigold Library. The libraries that are in the region include, Acme, Linden, Carbon, Three Hills and Trochu. There is also a book pick up/drop off in Torrington. At the May 24th, 2022 Council meeting, Council approved the 2022 Marigold Library Agreement. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Since that time, an unintended consequence has occurred resulting from the new agreement regarding insurance. The 2022 Agreement clarified on page 7 that physical library collections belong to the local library once they are delivered to the library- they do not belong to Marigold. As a result marigold no longer has a financial interest in the library collections as it is stated that the books are not their property. Without including an insurance provision in the master agreement, Marigold wouldn’t be able to continue insuring the library collections and insuring these collections is an important core service that Marigold provides to its members. Marigold has remedied this situation by adding appropriate language acceptable to their insurer into the revised Marigold Agreement which is attached to this RFD. FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial and staffing implications by adopting the recommended motion. 65 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 7.1 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 RECOMMENDED ENGAGEMENT: Directive Decision (Information Sharing, One-Way Communication Tools: Individual Notification Other: ATTACHMENTS: Updated Marigold Agreement.

BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: On November 29th, 2022, Councillor Fobes and CAO Mike Haugen met with a delegation from the Silver Willows Senior Citizen Society. At that time, they were looking to add some Christmas cheer to the hamlet of Torrington and were requesting funding to purchase Christmas lights to display in the park area. As there were funds still available in our Community Grant fund the CAO suggested that they apply for a Community Grant. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: There is a balance of $23,005.53 left in the Community Grant account for 2022. When we received the grant application, the committee decided that purchasing a freezer is a higher priority for them than Christmas Lights. 87 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 7.3 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 Attached is the project details and accounting.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☒ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- N/A Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- N/A BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: Administration has been investigating different various meeting management software. The objective of the program is to streamline and automate meeting preparation, conducting of meetings, and post meeting activities (minutes, action item lists, etc.). This platform could potentially be used for many meetings being conducted by the County. We currently do not have any meeting management software and everything from creating the agenda, putting the package together, creation of minutes, and updating the Council Action List is done manually. This process takes hours to complete. With meeting management software all those processes are streamlined freeing up time that administration could invest in other work. Like many software platforms, implementing the software initially requires only a small implementation fee (approximately $4,200). Funding for this implementation fee can be done through the Corporate Initiatives line of the approved budget (which was established for initiatives like this). There is then an annual license that would be paid by the County. Administration is bringing this item to Council for approval as the annual fee of $10,935 would be a new cost that would have to be included in budget going forward. If approved, Administration would move forward with the procurement and include this amount in the budget with other similar fees paid by the County. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The meeting management software we are looking at meets all of our objectives and facilitates the building of agendas, minutes, and action lists. Many municipalities currently use the same platform. Key Features include: 92 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 7.4 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 • Create & manage unlimited meeting templates and user groups, this program could also be used for not only Council meeting and Committee of the Whole agenda, but for other internal committees such as Agricultural Service Board, and Municipal Planning Commission, management meetings, or external committee’s such as AQUA 7, Kneehill Regional Partnership and Doctor Retention and Recruitment Committee. • Robust end-to-end pre and post meeting management, and user configurable workflow support. This will cut down on Administration time by putting the package together manually. • Integrated action log for post-meeting follow-up and staff direction. • A participant portal where meeting participants can browse upcoming meeting agenda, access all related reports and supporting information from anywhere on any device. • The program comes with Internet Publishing Plus, which allows us to easily publish our agendas, videos and minutes on our website.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☒ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- N/A Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- N/A BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: On October 12, 2022, Reeve Wittstock was invited by the Badlands Historic Society to hear a proposal involving five regional areas coming together and creating a 4H Rally Point. The proposal includes that every summer 4H youth will be visitors to the alternating venues which include Starland County, Wheatland County, Kneehill County, Special Areas and Town of Drumheller. There could be 30 to 40 youth from 4H clubs from all over Alberta visiting our area for three days each summer. When speaking with Mr. Solberg and asking if this will be a one time commitment and what the funds will be used for, he explained that the funds will be used to fix the museum roof. Once the roof is fixed then the museum can be utilized as the rally point for the 4-H students to come each summer to the area. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: To get this project started they are requesting each municipality to donate $5,000.00. An inquiry to the other municipalities was sent out asking if they have committed to this project. To date, administration has had no replies.

Every organization needs a ready crop of new younger people moving into the retiree’s posts – and in this regard we are anxious to tap into the 4H ranks where we know we’ll have minds and energies that are appreciative and supportive of Agriculture. We know that Kneehill County has several attractions that will be of high interest to 4H minds – Sunterra projects, honey processing plant, Horseshoe and Horsethief Canyons, Dry Island Buffalo Jump, etc.. We propose a 4H rally point in this area that will alternate between contributing counties and the Special Areas. This will mean up to 30 or 40 youngsters from 4H clubs from anywhere in Alberta over a three day visit every summer. To activate and to meet 4H requirements our Salute to Agriculture program needs start-up funding. We are asking our Big Country Counties and Special Areas to donate $5000.00. Our proposal will bring Leaders of Tomorrow to each county’s most Ag-related functions. The 4H program centers on communication and our visitors will be met with a challenge to absorb as much of their visit as possible and use those communication skills in photography, video 96 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted production, written and oral presentations. This will result over time with tourism visitors, Ag- opportunists, soil science students and future farmer land owners. Their presentation skills will be reviewed and judged by our Museum personnel and if desired, by members of contributing council organization. We are making contact with the Calgary Stampede Farm Youth program for input and advice on their programs. County involvement may be minimal or as intense and meaningful as deemed to their advantage, remembering that the youngsters will be contributing members of society in five years or less. County representatives are welcome to join and attend meetings or make suggestions. This participation will be highly valued. To this point we have realized the agreement of Starland and Wheatland along with RM of Badlands (Drumheller). Special Areas have not had agenda room at a full council meeting to this point. However we are optimistic about them joining in with a $5000.00 donation. We were pleased and honored to have Reeve Jerry at out meeting. I hope you will share in our enthusiasm for this project.

This report will provide updates on activities, financial status, budget and projections for the future. The Kneehill Medical Services Retention and Recruitment Task Force was created by partnering municipalities within the region. The governing document is the “The Kneehill Medical Services Retention and Recruitment Task Force Regional Agreement”. Per the aforementioned agreement, the purpose of the Task Force is to facilitate the continued presence of medical professionals and to build a sustainable system for the retention and attraction of medical services that will establish ongoing healthcare services meeting the needs of member communities within Kneehill County. The Task Force is comprised of five members. Each member is selected by their own municipality and acts as a voting member of the Task Force. Current Task Force members are: Kenneth King, Councillor Kneehill County Doreen Ternowetsky, Councillor Village of Acme Michelle Lomond, Councillor Village of Carbon Cerilo De La Cruz, Councillor Town of Trochu Miriam Kirk, Councillor Town of Three Hills Activities by Task Force, including any Working Groups/Sub-Committees Prior to the establishment of the new Task Force, previous Committee activities included: • Funding a doctor recruitment luncheon for Medical Residents in Red Deer, AB. This event allows a Task Force Representative and a local Doctor Representative to network with future doctors and provide information about the region. • Taking prospective doctors out for lunch or supper when they are visiting the Kneehill Medical Clinic. This is an opportunity to network, as well as promote the region. • Purchasing gifts for existing doctors to show appreciation and to acknowledge holidays. For example, theatre tickets for a Christmas gift, providing housekeeping for a maternity gift, etc. • Appreciation barbeques have been organized. • Financial incentives provided to encourage doctors to work in the region. In 2022, the previous Kneehill Regional Doctor Recruitment and Retention Task Force hosted lunches/dinners with potential doctors when they visited the area, provided baking as an appreciation gift for National Physician’s Day, and provided funding for locum accommodations to support local practitioners. These events occurred before the current agreement was effective, but are reflected in the financial expenses for 2022. Activity Plan Continue providing community support in an effort to encourage medical professionals to provide ongoing service in the region, as well as presenting a positive experience for potential recruits. Activities will be similar to previous years, but may vary due to new ideas and opportunities. 100 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted Kneehill Medical Services Retention and Recruitment Task Force Annual Report Page 2 of 5 Financial Information The financial summary seen below provides an overview of the revenue and expenses that occurred in 2022 by both the previous Committee and the current Task Force.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- NA Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- NA BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: Kneehill County has received a request from the Town of Drumheller. The Town is seeking Kneehill County’s support regarding better utilization of the Drumheller Health Centre. The Town is seeking similar support from other area municipalities as well. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Administration is recommending that Council provide overall support for this letter. Administration does caution that this topic should be approached carefully over time as the County would not want to endorse actions that would detrimental to the Health Centre in Three Hills. Council has stated that rural health care is important to Council and the County. The County has residents that utilize the facilities in both Three Hills and Drumheller. It will be important to monitor long- term that services that could be performed in one community are not dismissed because they are being provided in the other. FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications associated with the recommendation. 105 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 7.7 Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 RECOMMENDED ENGAGEMENT: Choose an item.

APPROVAL(S): Mike Haugen, Chief Administrative Officer Approved- ☒ 106 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted DRAFT December 1, 2022 Minister Jason Copping – Alberta Minister of Health Dr. John Cowell – Official Administrator – Alberta Health Services RE: Centre for Excellence in Rural Healthcare Delivery and Service: Drumheller, Alberta We are excited to hear of the upcoming reforms to health care in Alberta under your leadership. After reviewing Minister Copping’s Mandate Letter from Premier Smith, and the four immediate goals identified in the Alberta Health Services (AHS) Reform Plan, we would like to see the Drumheller Health Centre become a major part of these plans, including an immediate pilot site. The Drumheller Health Centre is already recognized as a rural hub for southeastern Alberta, with a catchment area of approximately 36,000 people based on Primary Care Network data. We are centrally located and currently support citizens from Hanna, Stettler, Three Hills, and many smaller communities in between, and are centrally located at a junction of the counties of Wheatland, Kneehill, Starland, and Special Areas. Our EMS reach through our partnership in the Badlands EMS District is very significant. The Drumheller Health Centre opened in 2002, fulfilling the need for an upgraded and updated hospital. The Drumheller Health Centre has been migrated from a Regional Hospital under Health Authority 5 (HA5) to a sub-regional facility under the David Thompson Health Region (DTHR), and to its current status under AHS Central Region. Prior to the consolidation into the centralized regional centres, the Drumheller hospital was designed to include significant facilities and capabilities that have become underutilized and are fitting for your goals of better utilization in rural communities. Alberta Health Services recognizes Drumheller as providing a significant array of services (see attached list), but our facility was designed to provide much more. As a local hub, the Drumheller Health Centre contains a 24/7 Emergency Room, a Community Cancer Centre, Addiction and Mental Health Services, Dialysis facilities, a CT Scanner, and Continuing Care. With adequate staffing, including required training that was previously prioritized to the regional hospitals, and an increased mandate/opportunity, we could better utilize our capabilities and existing equipment. For example, as you are aware, many rural areas have unused or under-utilized operating rooms, which includes our OR in Drumheller. The status quo forces rural patients to spend 2+ days away from work for day procedures versus just one day. Increasing our OR capacity by providing more OR time for our local surgeons, as well as having urban surgeons coming out to our OR to perform day procedures is a strategy used by other jurisdictions in North America. This also opens the door to creating a Drumheller centre of surgical excellence outside of Calgary and Red Deer which would create an economic corridor to our community and the surrounding rural communities. As in many Alberta communities, our EMS is heavily utilized. Much of its usage is through providing Inter Facility Transfers (IFT) on behalf of the Drumheller Hospital and other health care facilities in our area to attend appointments and other specialty health services in Red Deer and Calgary. For example, 107 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted in Drumheller, our CT scan is only available Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 1630 on weekdays. Every patient who comes at 1631 on a weekday, or on the weekend, must be transported to a regional centre for a scan. The majority of those scans result in non-urgent results, which means the patient and EMS were inconvenienced for many hours when they could have received the scan within minutes in Drumheller. Allowing our CT scan to be available 24/7 to us and surrounding communities would greatly decrease the burden on patients as well as EMS immediately. Both of these examples can be implemented almost immediately to assist with your goals. Drumheller can be a centre for excellence in rural healthcare service and delivery, and we encourage you to consider Drumheller in your upcoming actions to improve healthcare in Alberta. We are available to discuss further at your convenience.

CALL TO ORDER: Jeff Bourne brought the meeting to order at 7:05 pm. 2. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: none 3. BUSINESS: RCMP Update Sgt. Day gave an update on crime stats for the Three Hills Detachment areas. The Detachment is incredibly busy right now. A lot of the stats are the highest they’ve ever been! There’s been about 200 calls each month this year with the exception of November which is around 130 so far. They’ve had two major sexual assault investigations with charges being laid in one of the cases so far. The detachment is down one member as Lindsay Farrier has left. Sgt. Day has been contacting staffing every two weeks to ask about a replacement member. There have been no cadets come to Alberta in the last two months which has never happened. There will be a Detachment Facebook page coming soon. The members are training for it now so stay tuned! Red Deer County There have been 2100 tickets issued in the County since the beginning of the year with 139 of those in the Three Hills Detachment area. Community relations is an important part of it through their positive ticketing program. The drone program is evolving. They use the drones for fire investigations, unsightly property investigations, motor vehicle collisions, search and rescue, and anything else that it could be used for. There will be a bicycle program started in the spring. They are also in the process of changing their ATV bylaw so that people can ride their ATV’s on the roads. Delburne Delburne has seen a decrease in criminal activity. There was a break and enter that is being investigated currently. Council is considering doing an outdoor camera rebate program which would require those who take part to register their camera with the Village and allow the RCMP access to the data if they require it. 112 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted Three Hills No one from Three Hills attended the meeting. Kneehill County Since August 1 they’ve been down one officer. Traffic infractions are down. They’ve given out 23 warnings and 9 tickets. They’ve been doing presentations in the schools and the CPTED program is now in place. The Rural Municipalities Association have lots of concerns and questions towards the Alberta Provincial Police service that need to be addressed. Trochu One of the town trucks was stolen. They haven’t had a lot going on lately. The Fire Dept is much busier that they usually are with assisting medical calls. One of the reasons for this is the ambulances are much slower in responding to calls. They are extremely happy with the RCMP. Elnora They have added two stop signs on Main Street which makes a 4-way stop on the corner by the Village Office. They are looking at adding some cameras to their budget for next year. General The police funding request letter will be done by mid-December to send to the Alberta Munis and the Rural Municipalities Association. They each have a member on the committee that designates where the police funding, that we all pay, goes to. We will request that the Detachment will implement an enhanced member with the cost coming from the police funding. With the RCMP stats higher than they’ve ever been, the DANCO and Chief Superintendent are being asked to come to the next PAC meeting so that we can request another member for the Detachment. This is another avenue for us to possibly get another member. 4. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 pm. Next meeting will be Thursday, February 24, 2022 at 7:00 PM in Trochu at the Town Office. 113 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted Kneehill Housing Report Oct meeting Carbon Building update • An inspection of the Carbon building completed with minor issues, otherwise in great condition.

Independent Practitioner's Review Engagement Report and Financial Statements March 31, 2022 116 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted INDEPENDENT PRACTITIONER'S REVIEW ENGAGEMENT REPORT To the Members of Central Alberta Economic Partnership Ltd. We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Central Alberta Economic Partnership Ltd. that comprise the statement of financial position as at March 31, 2022, and the statements of operations and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Practitioner's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Canadian generally accepted standards for review engagements, which require us to comply with relevant ethical requirements. A review of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted standards for review engagements is a limited assurance engagement. The practitioner performs procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluates the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less in extent than, and vary in nature from, those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements. 117 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted INDEPENDENT PRACTITIONER'S REVIEW ENGAGEMENT REPORT, continued Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Central Alberta Economic Partnership Ltd. as at March 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Notes to the Financial Statements March 31, 2022 1. Nature of Operations Central Alberta Economic Partnership Ltd. ("CAEP") ("the organization") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta as a company limited by guarantee and is engaged in providing collaboration between communities, business and government and to provide tools to assist member communities in economic development. The organization does not issue shares and pursuant to its Memorandum of Association, certain entities are entitled to be members. The organization is considered a non-profit organization and is not taxable under the Income Tax Act. Continued operation of the organization is dependent on municipal, provincial and federal government funding in order to carry out a significant portion of its service delivery activities. 2. Significant Accounting Policies These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards (PSA) including standards for Government Not-For-Profit Organizations. The significant accounting policies are detailed as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit, short-term deposits with a maturity of less than three months at acquisition which form an integral part of the organization's cash management. Capital assets Capital assets are reported as expenditures in the period they are acquired. Expensed in the current year is $830 of computer equipment (2021 - $1,026). - 4 - 123 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted CENTRAL ALBERTA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements March 31, 2022 2. Significant Accounting Policies, continued Financial instruments Measurement Financial instruments are financial assets or liabilities of the organization where, in general, the organization has the right to receive cash or another financial asset from another party or the organization has the obligation to pay another party cash or other financial assets. The organization initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The organization subsequently measures its financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accruals and Canada Emergency Business Account loan. Impairment Financial assets measured at cost or amortized cost are tested for impairment, at the end of each year, to determine at cost whether there are indicators that the asset may be impaired. The amount of the write-down, if any, is recognized in operations. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account. The reversal may be recorded provided it is not greater than the amount that had been previously reported as a reduction in the asset and it does not exceed original cost. The amount of the reversal is recognized in operations. It is management's opinion that the organization is not exposed to significant interest, currency, market, liquidity or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. - 5 - 124 2022.12.13 Council Package Adopted CENTRAL ALBERTA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements March 31, 2022 2. Significant Accounting Policies, continued Revenue recognition The organization follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Government grants and assistance are recorded when there is a reasonable assurance that the organization has complied with and will continue to comply with, all the necessary conditions to obtain the funding and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Membership fees are recognized as revenue when received or receivable. Sale of CAEP services and other revenues are recognized as services are provided and collection is reasonably assured. Measurement uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in conformity with PSA standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future. 3.
