Discussion: Attached please find a draft resolution for your review and consideration. Recommendation; That Council approve the draft resolution for presentation at the March 18, 2005 Central Zone AAMD&C meeting. • e B. Long 21 KNEEHILL COUNTY RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT TO INITIATE A REVIEW OF THE SURFACE RIGHTS ACT • WHEREAS the Surface Rights Act, enacted in 1972, has not had a major content review since 1983, it does not reflect the changes in oil and gas development or the changes to agricultural operations AND WHEREAS the growth of oil and gas activity within municipalities has increased significantly impacting agricultural production, the environment, and quality of life AND WHEREAS there is a need for a more timely document to address the issues of financial compensation, rights and responsibilities of both landowners and industry, long term protection of our environment and improvement to our quality of life THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties urge the Government of Alberta to form a multi stakeholder group to initiate a review of the Alberta Surface Rights Act. 0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 1970 the Province of Alberta approved the Alberta Surface Rights Act, which has not had a major review of content since 1983. The last 20 years has seen a tremendous growth in the oil and gas industry within Alberta and major changes in the agricultural industry. There is a need for a provincial review by a multi stakeholders group to address these changes and the resulting long ranging effects. 0 Council Agenda Item #6(a) To: Gene Kiviaho Reeve Woods Members of Council From: Lavinia Henderson Date: March 3, 2005 is Issue: 2005 Municipal Fee Schedule Background: Historically Council has authorized various fees for goods and services provided by the County through motion or bylaw. No set schedule has been established except by the A.S.B. for annual reviews. As a result, some fees are rather old and making adjustments can be rather difficult. Discussion: An annual fee review is important for the following reasons: a) Council and Administration remain cognizant of the fees, i.e. are they relevant, the amount, industry trends for fees, does the fee do what it was intended for. % b) Keeping up with inflation - old rates are often difficult to adjust quickly if they have been left too long. Fees should be easy to adjust. Bylaws require more work to establish than a fee policy does. Bylaws that have rates within them can, have clauses • i added that state fees charged will be established by motion of Council. Other fees normally set by motion can be added to the schedule. One fee schedule, one motion. Ideally this would occur during budget deliberations and passed by year end for the next. A summary of the reasoning for changes and a listing of the recommended changes are attached for your review. Financial Implications: Rates are kept current. Efficiencies are gained due to time saved by Administration in updating and tracking fees. Outdated practices tend to be identified in a more timely fashion and updated or done away with when rates are reviewed regularly saving time and often time money. Recommendation: C a) That Council approve a policy for annual review of fees through the budget process. b) That Council approve the attached fee schedule for 2005. c) That Council consider a change in practice for bylaws that authorize fees and or penalties, where these rates would be authorized by motion of Council vinia Hend son 24 9; Director, Financial Services REASONING FOR CHANGES: Administration: a) Aerial Photos - propose no charge for landowners as typically they want them for development purposes. b) Dog Licenses - no change - but are currently set by bylaw c) County flags - increase to provide for some recovery of handling d) NSF cheque fee - number of cheques being returned NSF has been increasing, try to recover some of the administration associated with NSF cheques e) Tax certificate fees are low when compared to others. Start bringing the rate up. Also drop the fax charge. Currently $ 10.00 each plus $ 1.00 per page to fax. Make it simple for us and the law firm to handle. f) Well drilling rates set by provincial regulation. Start charging the minimum fee though. Must be a bylaw to authorize the drilling rate charge though - must check records for it. ASB All rates are reviewed in December by ASB and set then. Assessment a) Non-Residential Appeal - more work is typically associated with these types of appeals. b) Reports/Details/Photocopies - slight increase to allow for base amount of work • done. Emergency Management Services a) MVC Rate (Local Road) - the province has established $ 300.00 per unit per hour as a charge to respond to an MVC on a primary road. These bills are paid quickly. However, often on local roads you have to try to get money from an insurance company, private firm or individual which takes much longer and a lot more work. Establish the fee slightly higher than the rate the province pays to adjust for the time delays and extra work. Operations a) New Approach Fees - all but two of the applications last year were for commercial purposes. b) Pipeline Crossings and Rig Moves - AAMDC survey and survey of surrounding municipalities used to determine rate. c) Utility rates for water and sewage service - leave the same but review this year for 2006 d) Utility rate for waste collection - review as part of the waste management • review. e) Grader rates - contract being renewed effective April 1. Keep last year's rate and update it for 2006. The grader contract terms have been revamped for this tender. They will come due at the end of a calendar year rather than in the spring to make setting of grader rates coincide with the fee schedule time line. 25 0 • • Planning and Development Leave all rates until next month. J. Fenton has a survey he would like to use as part of the review.

A request was also made to meet with Minister Oberg to further explore this issue. Discussion: The Town of Drumheller has reported that significant improvements are required to the Water Treatment Plant in order to provide a quality water supply meeting all standards. They have received funding approval from AB Infrastructure and Transportation on a 1 /3 Province and 2/3 Municipal cost sharing arrangement. It was noted that funding for regional water projects is now eligible for additional funding, but that because Drumheller does not participate as a Regional Commission for service delivery, this additional funding is not available to them. Drumheller is the supplier of water to the Kneehill Regional Water Services Commission, of which Kneehill County is a member, and is the proposed supplier of water for the County's Linden North Water project. Starland County considers Drumheller to be filling the function of a supplier of a regional water service with several communities having long term agreements for the supply of a safe water supply, and as such should be eligible for enhanced regional funding for the needed upgrades to the Water Treatment Plant. (Attached is a copy of the letter) Council direction is requested on this issue. is Recommendation: Council decision B.
