NOT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 21 r Council Agenda Item # 5(b) TO: Gene Kiviaho Reeve Hoppins Members of Council From: Lavinia Henderson Date: April 30, 2004 Issue: AUPE Request for Support to Move From 60% to 100% COLA for LAPP Background: A letter from AUPE asking all stakeholders in the PSPP and LAPP to consider AUPE's request to enhance the benefits of the plans was received as part of the March 9, 2004 Correspondence List. Discussion: I have researched the above mentioned and present the following: a) Kneehill County currently had 33 employees enrolled in LAPP at the end of 2003. b) Falling markets have impacted LAPP's inability to earn the necessary annual overall rate of return on investments of 7.25% to meet their future obligations. As a result contribution rates have increased over the last two years. The LAPP Risk Budgeting Committee met April 30, 2004 to review the proposed risk budgeting technique as outlined in their 2002 Financial Statement. It is anticipated this will be implemented in 2004. c) The Board of Directors of AAMD&C discussed this at a recent board meeting - they do not support the move to 100%. I do not have the particulars at the time of writing of this document. A circular will be distributed shortly according to the AAMD&C office. d) Information requested from LAPP requesting past contribution levels and a response about the AUPE letter is attached for your information. Financial Implications: Employer contributions for 2003 totaled $ 78,142.38 based on contribution rates of 5.525% for salaries up to the YMPE (Yearly Maximum Pensionable Earnings) and 7.4% for salaries over the YMPE. Salaries and wages were increased on average in 2004 by 6% over 2003. Contributions to the end of April 2004 total $ 30,576.88. based on employer contribution rates of 6.602% for salaries up to the YMPE and 8.477% for salaries over. Any move to increase the COLA index will result in an increase in contribution rates because of increases required in payments to members and possible fluctuations in market performance. Recommendation: 1 That Council receive this information until a report has been prepared y D&C. avi a He a son Interi Director of Finance 22 • I Council Agenda Item # 5(c) To: Reeve Hoppins Members of Council From: Planning and Development Date: May 11, 2004 Issue Proposed redesignation of 5 acres of a 10-acre parcel located in the NE quarter of Section 14, 32, 26, W4 - from Agricultural Conservation to Recreation. Background Planning Staff presented a report relating to the above noted redesignation application at the April 27th, Council meeting. At that meeting, during which a Public Hearing was held, no objections from the public were presented. Following the Staff report, Council gave a first and second reading to the proposed bylaw amendment (redesignation). Third reading was not provided at that time. Discussion Staff have no additional information to offer. Recommendation That Council provide third reading to the bylaw amendment requested by Nick and Merril Roberts to redesignate 5 acres of a 10-acre parcel located in the NE quarter of Section 14, 32, 26, W4 - from Agricultural Conservation to Recreation.

Discussion: On April 21, 2004 I received a telephone call from Rhonda Crooks of Alberta Rural Physician Action Plan, advising that Dr. Michael Boorman from Rimbey had been selected for this years award, from an outstanding field on candidates. Ms. Crooks asked ® that I pass on thanks to the nominators and encouraged us to find a way to honour him and other local physicians. One of her suggestions was to compile a book containing the nomination package to present to Dr. Reedyk. Recommendation: Council decision 8 , e& G f Barb Long !

Rob a h w Gknk Kiviaho Public Works Superintendent CA 40 25 • r TO: Gene Kiviaho Reeve Hoppins Members of Council FROM: Rob Mayhew • DATE: May 6, 2004 Council Agenda Item # 5(f) Issue: Request from Stantec Engineering Ltd. on behalf of Kneehill Regional Water Services Commission (KRWSC) to Open Cut of Road Allowances for the Water Transmission going through Kneehill County. Background Kneehill Regional Water line being installed within Kneehill County boundaries. Discussion A request has been received from Stantec Engineering Ltd. on behalf of the KRWSC. The reason for this request is project cost savings. KRWSC wishes to enter into a blanket agreement with Kneehill County for crossing of developed and undeveloped County road Rights of Way. Stantec advised that they have reviewed the County's standard Road Crossing Agreement for High Pressure Pipelines, and requested that Council provide KRWSC with the following exemption to that standard • agreement: To allow the installation of the Kneehill Regional Waterline at the road crossings via the open cut method. Attached for your review: 1) Stantec request letter - 33 crossings in total. 2) Kneehill County Crossing agreement for High Pressure Pipelines 3) Existing Policy 14-9 Guidelines for Future Water Systems *****More information from Stantec Engineering Ltd. was requested at the April 27, 2004 Council Meeting**** Attached please find a May 6th letter from Stantec addressing these issues. Financial Implications N/A Recommendation 1) That Kneehill County adhere to existing policy and not allow the open cut method on County road allowances. • 2) That Administration be directed to make arrangements for KRWSC to sign Kneehill County's existing road crossing agreements. Rob a w Gen k, Public Works Superintendent CAO 28 S Stantec Consulting Ltd. 600 - 4808 Ross Street • Red Deer AB T4N 1X5 Tel: (403) 341-3320 Fax: (403) 342-0969 stantec.com MAY 1 1 2004 IZ s KNEEH LL COUNTY.' Stantec May 6, 2004 File: 112872701.04 &.22 Kneehill County Box 400, 232 Main Street Three Hills, Alberta TOM 2A0 Attention: Mr. Rob Mayhew, Operations Manager • Dear Sir: Reference: Kneehill Regional Water Services Commission Water Transmission Main - Road Crossings Further to discussions you held with Mr. Duthie of our office on May 4, 2004, the following provides you with the information you requested in support of the open cut method of road crossings. The following lists the issues raised and our response. 1. Long Term Responsibilities of KRWSC The question was put as to the responsibility for lowering or relocating the transmission line at some future date should it be required to facilitate new or upgraded roads of the County. It is our understanding that the KRWSC would make an undertaking similar to what it has with Alberta Transportation in this regard. That is, failing other options such as insulating, if the line were required to be relocated/lowered it would be the responsibility of the KRWSC. 2. Traffic Accommodation during Construction How will traffic be accommodated and detoured with respect to the road crossings? Our contract specifications identify that the Contractor must obtain the approval of a traffic accommodation plan from Kneehill County prior to commencing any work. This plan would address such matters as maximum length of closure, detour signage if required and notification of affected residents, the public and emergency responders. • It is our estimate that a typical road crossing would not exceed 48 hours in duration and in many cases would be less than that. Where no alternative access is provided by a detour, temporary access for emergency vehicles and/ or local traffic would be provided. This crucial issue will be addressed in detail at project award and start up and it is our intent that Kneehill County would be invited to attend these meetings to provide clarity and ensure its needs are met. Stantec • May 6, 2004 Mr. Rob Mayhew Page 2 of 3 Reference: Kneehill Regional Water Services Commission Water Transmission Main - Road Crossings 3. Compaction/ Consolidation of Soils Additional information on the compaction requirements is necessary. Attached is a typical detail showing an open cut of a roadway and the restoration required for both a shored or back slope situation. The contract specifications demand that the roadway be returned to its existing or better condition. To this end we have specified that compaction shall be to 95% in the pipe zone and 97% for the top 1.0 metre. Ditch bottoms and side slope will be re-vegetated using seed and hydro mulching with the surface restoration consisting of replacing gravels as necessary to meet the existing condition. In all cases the warranty period for this work is two years, however, it is our understanding that the KRWSC will remain responsible for any settlements or deflections at any future period. 4. Cost Comparison of the Open Cut versus Boring Supply costs comparison of the open cut versus boring. We have costs for trenching using the open cut or shored method at a depth of 4.Om to 6.Om from the tendering of Contract 1 of $86.00 per meter. Add to this the road • restoration cost of $80.00 per meter and the cost for crossing the road structure is established as $166.00 per meter. Tender prices for augured road crossings are $1250.00/m. Should auguring be considered on this project it may be at a lower rate due to the increased quantity of crossings. Using a limit of $1,000.00/m for auguring the difference becomes $834.00/m. A total of 27 developed road crossings are identified in our April 8, 2004 letter. Applying a conservative bore length to cover the road structure and side slopes only would be approximately 16m. This equates to: 27 crossings x 16m/crossing x $834.00/m = $360,288.00. I believe this addresses the issues that you have requested further information on to support the open cut method. However, should there be any other information we can supply to assist in your consideration of this matter please do-not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, STAN CO LILTING LTD.
