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: In September 2019, the provincial government released a police costing model that applies to municipalities with populations under 5000, including counties that did not pay directly for RCMP services prior to that date. The Federal government announced on June 28, 2021 that it had ratified its first collective agreement between the National Police Federation (NPF) for RCMP members and reservists. The new agreement is for 6 years and applies to over 19,000 RCMP regular members and includes retroactive pay for its members back to 2017. The retroactivity pay of the new RCMP contract has been in the media indicating significant direct financial impacts which have been downloaded on municipalities. Administration wanted to seek clarification from the Provincial Policing Oversight of the Law Enforcement and Oversight Branch on what potential impact if any the retroactivity portion of the new RCMP contract would have on Kneehill County. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The Provincial Policing Oversight of the Law Enforcement and Oversight Branch provided administration with the following information. • “All municipalities who contract the RCMP as their municipal police service through a contract with Public Safety Canada, also known as MPSA (Municipal Police Service Agreement) communities, are responsible for the retro active pay increases as identified above. The MPSA contracts are between each respective municipality (i.e. Innisfail) and Public Safety Canada, the province is not involved in these agreements. Public Safety Canada has allowed for a 2 year pay back schedule of the retro active pay costs. Additionally, the MPSA has a dispute mechanism 12 2023.06.13 Adopted Council Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 5.3.1 Page 2 of 3 Version: 2022-02 available within Article 20 of the MPSA. Innisfail would have received a letter from Public Safety Canada outlining the decision, costs owed and the process for a request to pay back the costs over the two year period, along with the process of disputing this decision. • All municipalities with a population of 5,000 or less are policed by the RCMP by virtue of a contract between the Province of Alberta and Public Safety Canada. This is known as a PPSA (Provincial Police Service Agreement). Kneehill County and its communities within would be policed under the PPSA. The retro active pay increase costs identified above will NOT be passed onto PPSA communities, the province will absorb these increases/costs. However, the PFM (Police Funding Regulation) remains in place for these communities until it is reviewed upon its 5 year term, ending on March 31, 2025. PFM costs to these municipalities are set at 30% for years 4 and 5 of the 5 year term. As to financial impacts to Kneehill County for future police funding models, I cannot say, as the PFM is a regulation that will be reviewed as all regulations typically are. As we approach the end of the 5 year term, we will know more in terms of governmental intentions with respect to police funding mechanisms.” FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: The current PPSA funding model will continue until March 31st, 2025 for RCMP services. There are no expected increases to the current PFM model resulting from the RCMP retroactive pay clause within their new collective agreement.

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 working with a consultant to better understand the economic development environment in Kneehill County. Our review identified that a fair amount of the data required to effectively guide economic development programs within the County was either outdated or unavailable. Inaccurate or unavailable data reduces Administration’s ability to align Council’s Strategic Plan to “help our community withstand challenges and adapt in the face of adversity”. Gathering the required information and statistics would provide valuable context allowing administration to provide Council with effective economic development strategies. Administration recognizes that in order to move the economic development portfolio forward in a progressive and fiscally responsible manner would require the development of an economic development plan (EDP). DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed EDP would provide Administration a roadmap to strengthen the economic base within the County. The strategies provided within the plan will acknowledge the control local government has over critical inputs into economic activities such as land, zoning, infrastructure, and our current County services. Administration is currently working on updating the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) which exerts significant influence on the development of the EDP, as such we feel working on both plans simultaneously is advantageous. The proposed EDP would be five-year roadmap that would provide Administration and our community with a tool that would outline the economic vision, mission, and goals of Kneehill County. The document would align with Council’s Strategic Plan as well as the Municipal Development Plan. The document will provide residents, businesses, community partners, and stakeholders with an understanding of the 15 2023.06.13 Adopted Council Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 5.4.1 Page 2 of 3 Version: 2022-02 economic priorities of the County. The EDP would be developed in collaboration with our stakeholders and support efforts between neighboring communities. The proposed EDP would be performed by a consultant in six stages: 1. Project Planning a. Initial Planning b. Preparing final workplan and schedule c. Develop Engagement Plan 2. Consultant site visit a. Council Consultation b. Staff Consultation c. Tour of the County 3. Community Consultation a. Community and Stakeholder Engagement b. Triage BR&E (business retention and expansion) c. Develop online Stakeholder Survey d.

Prepare a draft version of evaluation criteria for review b. Revise and prepare final digital copy of plan c. Review contents of plan virtually with SLT d.

The current position funding envelop is approximately $120,000.00 which is inclusive of all benefits, wage, and costs to the employer.

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: As a way to provide good governance, Kneehill County Administration has been actively reviewing the Bylaw database to ensure the Bylaws that are in place are in order and comply with current legislation. Kneehill County’s Bylaw database consist of 1958 Bylaws. Upon comprehensive review of the bylaw database it has been discovered that there is a large number bylaws that are obsolete or redundant. Theses bylaws largely fall into one of four categories: 1. Bylaws that were created for a very specific purpose and once acted upon, have no further effect or are no longer required; 2. Bylaws that have been superceded by a change in overarching legislation or by another bylaw; 3. Bylaws that were created for a specific purpose or situation that no longer exists; or 4. Bylaws that were created for a specified time period, which has now elapsed. Once the review has been completed and the obsolete bylaws have been removed, a four- year review cycle will be created for the current bylaws, just like we do for our policies we have in place. 18 2023.06.13 Adopted Council Package REQUEST FOR DECISION AGENDA ITEM # 7.1 Page 2 of 3 Version: 2022-02 DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The theme to this repeal is Hamlets once operated by Kneehill County and then annexed into a Town or Village.

Persons’ crimes are down 8.3%; Property crime is down 10.3%; Crime on leases has also gone down mostly because companies are moving away from the use of copper and using aluminum. The RCMP detachment in Three Hills will be welcoming a new member, Catherine Hunter, soon. Because our crimes were up last year there is a possibility of another corporal coming. Good news! The mental health calls are still very high. RPAC is being used a lot for these situations. The RCMP have been involved in several community engagements – Schools, Mt. Olive church, Golden Hills Lodge, Delburne Community Ctr. They will also be involved with the Delburne Soap Box Derby on May 31st. There are 8 young people registered for the RCMP camps this summer. It would be great if we could reach 12 young people to be involved. There will not be a regimental ball this fall as there as so many others going on. However, Sgt. Day would like to bring back the Musical Ride for 2024. He will be looking into this. 141 2023.06.13 Adopted Council Package Red Deer County County patrol has resumed Quad patrols in the Sylvan Lake area.

Day and Carolyn Kung attended and International Conference on Family Violence in Chicago. Violence against children is up 300% and Carolyn is hoping to get into the schools to set up a program of preventative measures. She has purchased some toys that kids can play with while in the courtroom because of crimes against them. Carolyn has also found a way to get information of available services to those affected by violence but in a subtle way. We were reminded that the changes to Victim Services will be coming in April. There is concern among the group that we find ways to keep Victim Services running as is. 5.

Info will be posted on the website: https://caepalberta.com/ Marigold Library The administration discovered that someone created a company on Upwork impersonating Marigold Library System to scam freelancers, and many people appear to have been scammed. As a result, Marigold has now been the subject of negative Google reviews; we are being subject to 1-star reviews even though the reviewer(s) seem to understand that Marigold was not the organization perpetuating the fraud. No local members have been affected. They have posted this information on our social media, on the Google info/update page, and on our website: https://marigold.ab.ca/About-Us/Employment-Opportunities Marigold Library System does not use services like Upwork or any other online hiring resource to recruit freelancers. All of Marigold Library System’s recruiting and hiring takes place directly through Marigold Library System. Currently, Marigold does not have any job postings. FCM Annual Conference May 24-28 The Conference was called, “Local Action Local Results”. I found all the sessions I participated in were very helpful. I was particularly pleased to see many opportunities around rural topics. The sessions I attended that were not rural specific also had great information pertinent to all municipalities. For me, the overall message was the sustainability of our municipalities and the big piece to that is how the federal and provincial governments need to value municipal governments and update how municipalities are funded. That infrastructure, climate action, food and housing, health and social programs are pieces to care for. I also found myself very grateful for the great work Kneehill County is doing. In many aspects we have best practices beyond most municipalities. For example: our capital reserves; our tendering process; our procurement policy and our collaboration with our townships and neighbors. 143 2023.06.13 Adopted Council Package The workshops I attended all were packed with info, thought provoking conversations and ideas. Some information I found interesting includes: 1. The Honourable Lisa Raitt called municipalities “agents of growth” and stated that as such we need to be regarded as more than creatures of the province. Reform on funding municipalities needs to recognize the community work we do. She also made it clear that if we want to have the strong clean tech sector the provincial and federal governments are going after we need to have communities that are strong with medical, education, broad band and etc. 2. Dr Andrew Boozany shared his passion for the “upstream of the social action of health”. He spoke of the homeless crisis being a huge factor of the medical crisis we have in Canada. Hospitals are caring for growing and growing numbers of people who are there due to ill affects of not having a home and taking beds that would not be needed if we were proactive with social programs. He is motivated by his value of humanity but hopes if that fails the leaders to see the urgency maybe the financial burden will. He shared a person staying for 1 month in hospital costs taxpayers, (on average), $30 000.00; in prison, $10 000.00; in a shelter, $7000.00, supportive housing $3000.00. 3. The panel at the session, “Ripple Effect of Food Production” brought emphasis to food production needs to be a urban and rural issue. The panel emphasized that if rural Canada was to disappear that Canada would collapse. Efforts to work collaboratively needs to happen as we ant continue with the idea it is Farmers Verses the Everyone else. Only 2% of Canadians are farmers. Also emphasized the great efforts ag industry has accomplished in environmental stewardship. I could share many more tidbits and welcome anyone who would like to connect eith me. The library tour and presentations I took part in, were packed with information. Highlight points include: 1. Libraries have really evolved into supports and resources of very broad spectrum beyond books and periodicals; including skills development; social supports, accessing technical equipment for entrepreneurs etc. Libraries are the centralized safe place for community members to thrive and be connected. 2. The number one need of community members is internet connectivity. Libraries offer connectivity for all people. 3. One presentation was solely around the work Toronto Libraries are doing advocate for digital equity. Interesting fact: according to a 2021 study; 2/5 Toronto residents are not connected to internet privately. This presentation provided great information on the advocacy for connectivity. The Annual meeting highlights include: 144 2023.06.13 Adopted Council Package 1. Scott Pearce, Mayor of the Township of Gore since 2004, is FCM’s new president. 2. Three Resolutions were passed: “FCM members also debated and voted overwhelmingly in favour of three key resolutions designed to address some of these modern national challenges: Establishing an Urgent Intergovernmental Platform on Mental Health: This resolution calls on the federal government to acknowledge mental health as a national emergency, to commit to tripartite policy discussions aimed at making mental health an integral part of Canada’s healthcare system, and developing a comprehensive national mental health strategy. Urgent Action Needed to Address the Crisis of Homelessness: This resolution mandates FCM to call on the federal government to provide long-term funding and resource supports for local governments as they address homelessness, to ensure the sustainability of new supportive housing by urging provinces and territories to provide wraparound services, and to create a national strategy to support local efforts to scale up programs such as the Rapid Housing Initiative and Reaching Home New Growth Framework For Municipalities: This resolution firmly declares that Canada needs a modernized fiscal framework for municipalities, that FCM shall lead the development of a Municipal Growth Framework that links municipal financial capacity to factors such as national population growth and economic growth, and that FCM shall call on the federal government to engage with FCM in the development of that framework with a focus on new sources of municipal revenue.” (from: https://fcm.ca/en/news-media/news-release/local-action-national-results- fcms-annual- conference?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=READ%20 OUR%20AC2023%20WRAP- UP%20PRESS%20RELEASE&utm_campaign=FCM%20Voice ) Kneehill Regional Partnership Levels of Fire Service Session June 5 The progress we have made as a region needs to be celebrated.
