STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: (Check all that apply) ☒ ☐ ☐ ☒ ☒ High Quality Infrastructure Economic Resilience Quality of Life Effective Leadership Level of Service RELEVANT LEGISLATION: Provincial (cite)- Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS) PS 3280 – Asset Retirement Obligations Council Bylaw/Policy (cite)- N/A BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: On October 24th, 2023, the Council approved $325,000 for the 'Integrated Facility Condition and Asset Retirement Assessment Project,' introduced on October 13th, 2023. As detailed in the report, this project merges two initiatives (Facility Condition Assessment and Asset Retirement Obligation Assessment) due to their shared nature. Approved outside the 2024 budget process, it was expedited for approval to ensure compliance with public sector accounting standards for the 2023 fiscal year-end. Following the Request for Proposals (RFP) process, five submissions were received. Notably, one proponent bid solely on the Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) Assessment, two on the Facility Condition Assessment (FCA), and two on the combined project. Costs ranged from $200,443 to $533,138 for FCA and $16,500 to $49,367 for ARO. Despite the initial intention to integrate both projects, the evaluation identified optimal proponents from different submissions. Interviews clarified the proposal scopes and approach, influencing the consideration to award the projects separately. Consequently, this proposal seeks a $40,000 budget increase, bringing the total project cost to $365,000, inclusive of an approximate 5% contingency. This adjustment is crucial for enabling separate awards and ensuring optimal resource allocation for the success ful execution of each project component. DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: At present, the organization lacks the internal capacity and expertise to complete the required body of work, without the engagement of a third party. While this project will have immediate benefit, it will also support long-term planning, both as it relates to asset management and financial reporting. Page 35 of 100 REQUEST FOR DECISION Page 2 of 2 Version: 2022-02 FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: The recommended funding source remains the Contingency Reserve. The cost approximate allocation over three years is $365,000. Year 2023 2024 2025 2026 Total Asset Retirement Obligation Assessment $45,000 $45,000 Facility Condition Assessment $500 $119,500 $100,000 $100,000 $320,000 Total Budget $500 $164,500 $100,000 $100,000 $365,000 RECOMMENDED ENGAGEMENT: Directive Decision (Information Sharing, One-Way Communication Tools: Individual Notification Other: ATTACHMENTS: N/A COUNCIL OPTIONS: 1. Council may approve increased budget to allow both projects to proceed. 2. Council may approve ARO portion only. 3. Council may approve FCA portion only. 4.

Protection & Enhancement Act) review over the next 2years and so an Engineer will be hired to complete the report. This report is nothing new, just hadn’t been accounted for. - Secondly Inflation. - Volatility in commodity pricing. 2024 Fee Schedule - Will stay the same except the board has given direction to management to look into hydrovac material charges as we have a scale and should be able to charge by metric tonne instead of by the axle. Regular Meeting Landfill hours – lengthy discussion was held on the landfill holiday hours. Biggest question is, is the landfill an essential service and must not be closed more than 2 days in a row? Management is looking into the policy for future years. For 2023 the landfill will be open boxing day for reduced hours with overtime being paid. EPR registration – Management has been attending council meetings of association members as well a taking phone calls to help with the registration and any questions that arise. Deadline to register for both HSP (Hazardous & Special Products) & PPP (Packaging and Printed paper products) is December 31/23. ARMA is the alberta business handling the EPR in Alberta. Program to be up and running April 1st 2025. Transtors – Haul-All has recommended that we replace some transtors which is a shock to the association as we did an indepth review of all sites a couple of years ago and replaced 6 transtors and found the rest were in good shape and not in need for replacement for some time. Management is going to do there own inspections along with staff members from Wheatland, Starland and Kneehill Counties. Committees -EPR and policy committee’s are having there first meetings in the New Year to get the process going in hopes to have reviewed all policies by year end. EPR will be an on going committee that will report to the rest of the association when needed. Page 95 of 100 There and Back Again – Circular Economy Conference Oct 18 to 20th Largest conference AB Recycling Council has put on. Most likely because of EPR program (Extended Producer Responsibility) requirements being mandated by government and there being a lack of clarification on many aspects of the program. ARMA (AB recycling management authority) is the overseer of the program. There are 4 main bodies for the program. 1. Producers - manage the entire life cycle. These are either the Brand owner if in Canada, Importer or the retailer. 2. PRO (Producer responsibility organization) They act as an agent for the producers. Are not-for-profit organizations 3. Community – City, town, village, county etc. These are the places that already provide recycling services. Communities are to register as HSP or PPP or both before December 31/23. 4. Processing Facilities – The program will hopefully align with municipality programs that are all ready in place. There should be no additional cost to municipalities as the producers will be paying for the program. PRO’s will work with Municipalities or waste associations like DDSWMA to implement and effective and efficient recycling system. They will provide the municipalities with the assets needed and will run province wide education. We will have to help them locally to get literature to our residents. Seed money has been obtained from the following founding businesses: Costco, Maple Leaf, McDonalds, Kraft/Heinz, Loblaw, Keurig, CocoCola, Metro, Nestle, P &G, Empire, Clorox, RBI, Pepsico and Recipe. Some Pro’s we or you may hear about in Alberta are Circular Materials and Product care Recycling, E360 along with many more. The province does not want to have one big Pro as this has been proven to not be a good thing in other provinces who already have the EPR up and running. Other Topics/Presenters NAIT – Plastic Research In Action – Large amount of micro plastics in the Nth Sask. River. They are working with Municipalities to lay asphalt which contains different levels of plastic content to see if it holds up to our climate. Using polypropylene in flooring and adding plastic to building materials. Prairie Robotics – Recycling cart identification system. Leduc landfill doing a pilot program. Camera that identifies contaminants in recycling, organics and waste collection containers. Notices are issued to offenders. Nova Chemicals – working on light weight film for packaging. Working with municipalities on counter containers and bins for recycling. Small Battery recycling container. U Of A – Eco-additiva – Mechanical recycling, 3D printing. Bottle depots to have the printers to transform plastic bottles into functional wonders. Chairs, garden planters etc. From waste to value. Earthware – Packaging as a service. Earthware sells containers to providers (restaurants, grocery stores etc) with a container deposit which they then charge the consumer. They are then recycled at the bottle depots for a refund. This program is currently running in Calgary, Banff, Canmore and Airdrie and projected to have 10,000 of them in the recycling system in December 2023. Page 96 of 100 Evergen / Growtec – 2023 they started to operate a farm scale anaerobic digester near Lethbridge which converts biodegradable waste into biogas which is upgraded and used in the gas grid. The feedstock consists of 10,000 tonnes of manure and 5000 tonnes of other organic waste. 2014 they opened and is still in operation an organic waste electricity generating facility which generates 4000MWh. Loop – BC company keeping organic waste out of landfills and using it to feed livestock. Grocery stores are on board as Loop takes unsold grocery items from stores and delivers them to farms which is cheaper than landfill charges. This in not just fruit and vegetables but packaged crackers etc. Dairy Distillery – Ontario. They are taking all extra milk from dairies instead of it being dumped and distilling it. They take the Cream or high milk fats and have it made into cheese and ice cream, filtered milk is made into concentrated milk proteins which then leaves the milk permeate which is the unused milk sugar which they distill and make into vodka. (Vodkow) Last Shot Apparel – Sustainable, ethical, Canadian- made clothing. When purchasing clothing, check your label for what it is made of. Try to buy clothing made of natural products, may cost a little more but is better for the environment in the long run. Interesting fact – the fashion industry is the 2nd largest user of water after agriculture. Okotoks town council – Repair café. Host an event 4 times a year with Volunteers present to repair just about anything. Owners stay with their item while it gets repaired. Fortis made a donation to the community so that this event could be held. In 2024 the federal government is bringing in the right to repair legislation, as there are numerous items that are locked or warranty is invalid if opened. Strathcona County – Hodge Podge Lodge (building where slightly used items can be dropped off and then used by someone else) is still going strong. It is run by volunteers as well as high school students who are obtaining school credits while working there. Goodwill – Have there trailers left had landfill sites so that items that can be reused are placed on it instead of being thrown in the dumpsters/landfills and taken to the stores for refurbished and resold. 2 top items thrown away that can be reused are pots and pans and treadmills. 6 R’s in the recycling world.
