O M ?t V1 N N N N M M M M M M 01 Council Agenda Item # 5(b) '3" From: Lavinia Henderson and Robert Mayhew • 0 Issue: Funding Rural Water Projects - Commencing 2005 Operating/Capital Budget Background: This recommendation was originally presented to Council on February 8, 2005. As per Council request, this is being brought back to Council for approval with the addition of Option #5, as per Motion #102/05. • 0 TO: Gene Kiviaho Reeve Woods Members of Council Date: March 22, 2005 As Council is aware, Kneehill County has been approved through ICAP funding for a portion of Three Hills West Water Project. Stantec has presented a proposed Phase 1 and Phase 2 (page 9.2 of their draft presentation). Both have Kneehill County putting more dollars in than the 1/3 share. R. Mayhew requested Stantec to show the County what Phase 1 cuts would be needed to get to the 2/3 - 1/3 split originally applied for to ICAP. At the Swalwell meeting, the estimated average connection fee with 2/3 funding was listed as $13,100.00, which is reasonably close to Stantec's Phase I estimate of $13,307.00 per connection (Dec 14th Council meeting). Discussion: Kneehill County needs to decide where its portion of the funding will come from and how to finance the project until the grant/other funds are received. Option 1: Annual Tax Levy or Special Tax Levy. Add an amount Council deems appropriate to the General Municipal Tax Rate (this is what Stettler does) or apply an annual levy against all affected lands and improvements within the Water Service Areas - this would be pursuant to Section 382(l)(a), 382(2) and 384 of the MGA, to raise funds over a given time period. Pros: A fixed annual amount from all (or a portion of) taxable assessment would be raised. M&E and Power and Pipeline assessment would pay the levy. Con: Financing is still required. If the financing is over 5 years in term, the borrowing by-law is to be advertised pursuant to the MGA. (section 257 and 259 depending on the type of capital borrowing.) Option 2: User Monthly Payment Plan. As presented as an option at the public meetings and outlined Table 9.3 (page 9.4) in the draft Stantec document for Linden North Water Service Area. Interim financing would be required (either by self financing or bank borrowing) as it is an assumption the users would not seek out their own financing, they would make the monthly payment to the County. Incentives for prepaying may Page 17 ?r IN have to be considered: Pro: Convenient for the user. They don't have to arrange for funding. Con: There could be a cash shortfall if Council establishes a fixed rate for hookup based on Linden North Water Service area which is more populated than other service areas which will be added later. This method requires more administration as each account has to be tracked. If reserves are used, the reserve balance is lowered and return on investment is lost. The debit limit could be compromised as other water service areas are added. Option 3. Users Pay Up Front. Users would be provided a time limit to pay their full cost to the County. They would be responsible for their own financing, if required. Pro: Less administration in tracking accounts. Less interest would be paid by County on interim financing. Con: Some ratepayers may not be able to join the system based on their ability to raise funds. Those with good wells who are reluctant to join may be upset with County. Option 4. Cancel the Project. Pro: No work required. Con: Relationship with funding partners, water commission and ratepayers would be jeopardized. Option 5. It was suggested at the February 22, 2005 meeting that a mill rate be placed on properties within the entire potential water user area to reduce the hook-up fee, as the projects are to be for the benefit of the County as a whole. i See attachment. Assessment figure (as of March 1, 2005) was gathered by using the total taxable for all farm, residential, non-residential and grant in lieu property south of Township Road 33-0. Linear north of Township Road 33-0 was not excluded, as well as those areas already serviced by a water co-op. More exact figures may be obtained at a later date should Council wish to pursue Option 5. Financial Implications: The engineering estimate for the project (Phase 1) is $ 3,774,300.00. Total ICAP funding is $ 2,230,400. Balance to cover is $ 1,543,900, however interim financing may have to be arranged for the project. Recommendation: Council decision. • Lavinia He derson Robert 1ayh w Director, Financial Services Operations Director Page 17(a) • r 0) 0 W W W j r U) W O aD D U U D n 4 j J J, D Q W W a W w w U) 0) co M (A0) Mr- O CD N.

Long Issue: Promotional Items Policy Discussion: A Promotional Items Policy needs to be developed in order to provide an opportunity to recognize and promote Kneehill County and to aid in answering requests for promotional items in a prompt manner. Attached please find a draft policy for your review and consideration. Financial Implications: Amount to be determined annually at budget time. Recommendation: • That Council receive the Draft Promotional Items Policy. &v1q/ Barb Long • Page 23 KNEEHILL COUNTY POLICY SECTION: POLICY TITLE: POLICY NUMBER: Financial Promotional Items 16-10 Purpose: To establish a policy defining the distribution of promotional items. Policy Statement: Council recognizes the need to provide items of promotional value to the public within the County boundaries, including the urban centres. This includes entities such as special interest groups, volunteer emergency services, dignitaries, local charitable organizations, service groups, and sports events. Promotional products include such items as County pins, pens, hats, mugs, glasses, golf shirts, vests etc. These contributions allow an opportunity for the County to donate items that recognize and promote the County. • Policy Guidelines: 1. Council shall establish an annual budget for purchase of promotional products. Inventories will be reviewed annually to determine which products should be purchased during the year 2. County Councillors and the CAO shall use discretion in the distribution of promotional products to the entities listed above. 3.

Council received a report at the March 8th meeting and requested Administration to review and provide a recommendation. Recommendation: That Council direct Administration to send a letter supporting the Starland position to Minister Oberg. • 1 G. iviaho • Page 25 PO Box 249, Morrin, Alberta, Canada TOJ 2B0 Tel: (403) 772-3793 Fax: (403) 772-3807 File No. 410-5 February 15, 2005 • Honourable Dr. Lyle Oberg Minister of Infrastructure and Transporation #408 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, AB T5K 2B6 Dear Dr. Oberg: Re: Town of Drumheller Regional Water Supply Funding Starland County recently attended a regional Mayor and Reeve's forum held in the Town of Drumheller. At that meeting, the Town of Drumheller reported that significant improvements are required to the Water Treatment Plant in Drumheller in order to provide a quality water supply that meets current and new environmental standards. As you are aware, Starland County, Kneehill County and the urban communities within • these areas are all working on major regional water development projects. Our municipality expects to start utilizing water from the Town of Drumheller by the fall of 2005. The Town of Drumheller has been very pro-active in determining what upgrades are required to their facilities. Drumheller has hired a consultant to prepare a detailed Master Plan to outline the required upgrades, provide detailed cost estimates and recommend priorities for the implementation of these improvements on a scheduled basis. The Town has indicated that they have received funding approval from Alberta 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 the Town of Drumheller does not participate as a Regional Commission for service delivery, this additional funding is not available to them. Starland County and the communities of Munson and Morrin have negotiated a long- term water supply agreement with the Town of Drumheller. We anticipate that once we have invested a substantial amount of funds into regional water supply, that this • arrangement will be for a very long time period. As such, we strongly feel that the Town of Drumheller should be considered for additional funding as a deliverer of a secure supply of water to multiple communities. MAR U 2 2 ?i? .?+ Ji..., F, Honourable Dr. Lyle Oberg, Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation re: Town of Drumheller, Regional Water Supply February 15, 2005 In summary, the Town of Drumheller is filling the function of a supplier of a regional water service, they have long-term agreements with several communities for this supply, and significant upgrading of their facility is required to ensure delivery of the quality of • water we all desire. We strongly suggest that their water treatment plant is already part of a regional system, and the Town should be eligible for enhanced regional funding for their upgrades. We would also note that this delivery model is certainly in line with the goals and objectives of the Province's Water Strategy. Starland County would like to request a meeting with you as soon as possible, to further explore this issue, and certainly we are willing to work with the Town of Drumheller to provide details on the magnitude of grants required to upgrade their facilities. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Yours truly, K. Barry McLeod Reeve STARLAND COUNTY cc.

As the adjacent access road allowance is undeveloped, the Proponent requires, as a prerequisite for development approval, that Council approve an upgrade of the road to County standards (County Policy 5-13). Background The subject quarter is located in the NW of section 10, 29, 23, W4. The proposed approach to the parcel is located approximately 900 feet from a developed township road. Therefore, a length of only 900 feet needs to be developed in order to provide access to the subject property. Operations Staff have approved the proposed approach and have determined that an upgrade to "Minor Local Road" standards will be sufficient. The access road is in an undeveloped state; although, it has been subjected to vehicular traffic. The Proponent has submitted a cost estimate, provided by Ken Adams Petroleum Services Ltd., of $3,000.00. Staff consider this figure appropriate, as the road requires a substantial transformation from its current undeveloped state to a County "Minor Local Road". Discussion It is stated within County Policy 5-13 that the "County will pay fifty percent (50%) of the costs, to a maximum of $15,000.00, including gravel and seeding costs, for the building of the road to County standards (as per Schedule A - Major Local Road Standard)". Operations Staff have no objections to the proposed upgrade, and have indicated that a variance from a "Major Local Road" to a "Minor Local Road" is appropriate, as there is very little traffic on the subject road due to its location relative to the Kneehill Creek valley. Planning Staff have no objections with the proposal. Implications: If the County approves the upgrade, and agrees with the estimated cost of construction, which was submitted by the Proponent, the County will be required to pay $1,500.00. Recommendation: • That Council approve the upgrade and a variance of the policy from the required "Major Local Road" standards to the "Minor Local Road" standards. • That Council agree to provide a maximum of $1,500.00 towards the proposed upgrade. ,/ j F and Page 29 To: Reeve and Members of Council From: Planning and Development Date: March 22, 2005 Council Agenda Item # 6(b) Issue The Proponent (Kenneth Walker) would like to develop a new residence on a 5-acre parcel. As the adjacent access road allowance has an undeveloped dirt surface, the Proponent requires, as a prerequisite for development approval, that Council approve an upgrade of the road to County standards (County Policy 5-13). Background The subject parcel is located in the NE corner of the SE quarter of section 20, 29, 21, W4. The proposed approach to the parcel is located approximately 800 feet from a developed township road. Therefore, a length of only 800 feet, of the dirt road, needs to be developed in order to provide access to the subject property. The road allowance is already partially developed and requires a gravel blade grade. Operations Staff have approved the proposed approach and have determined that an upgrade to "Minor Local Road" standards will be sufficient. The access road is relatively flat near the subject property, but does dead-end further south, as it nears the Kneehill Creek valley. The Proponent has submitted a cost estimate, provided by Evert Construction, of $1,134.00. Staff consider this figure appropriate, as only a small portion of partially developed road • requires upgrade. Discussion It is stated within County Policy 5-13 that the "County will pay fifty percent (50%) of the costs, to a maximum of $15,000.00, including gravel and seeding costs, for the building of the road to County standards (as per Schedule A - Major Local Road Standard)". Operations Staff have no objections to the proposed upgrade, and have indicated that a variance from a "Major Local Road" to a "Minor Local Road" is appropriate, as there is very little traffic on the subject road due to its location relative to the Creek valley. Planning Staff have no objections with the proposal. Implications: If the County approves the upgrade, and agrees with the estimated cost of construction, which was submitted by the Proponent, the County will be required to pay $567.00. Recommendation: That Council approve the upgrade and a variance of the policy from the required "Major Local Road" standards to the "Minor Local Road" standards. That Council agree to provide a maximum of $567.00 towards the proposed upgrade. 11 Page 30 To: Reeve and Members of Council From: Planning and Development Date: March 22, 2005 Council Agenda Item # 6(c) Issue Request to set Public Hearing date for a proposed amendment to the Land-Use Bylaw. Background A wind energy company would like to develop a 40-turbine wind farm in Kneehill County. Before a permit may be issued for the proposed development, the County LUB must be amended to allow for wind turbines. As well, any regulations that the County would like to pursue, as they relate to wind turbines, should also be included in the LUB. Discussion Municipalities have the ability to regulate the development of power plants, which includes wind turbines (s. 40 of the Hydro and Electric Energy Act and s. 3.1.5 of EUB Directive 028). Staff suggest that promoting wind energy development would be beneficial, as the County would be promoting the use of sustainable and renewable energy resources. Furthermore, wind energy development will provide increased revenue to the County, and to those landowners who own land upon which turbines are located. It is recommended, therefore, that the County proceed with the appropriate LUB amendments. Prior to holding a Public Hearing, the proposed amendment needs to be advertised in accordance with s. 606 (2) of the MGA. Recommendation That Council schedule this Hearing for 10:00 a.m, May 10, 2005. Page 31 To: Reeve and Members of Council From: Planning and Development Date: March 22, 2005 Council Agenda Item # 6 (d) • Issue Endorsement extension request for subdivision file # KNE03310 - SE 17 32 24 W4. Background In October of 2003, the County MPC approved a subdivision application submitted by Bayes Beef Builders Ltd. (Proponent). A prospective purchaser of the subject property is now applying, on behalf of the Proponent, for an extension to that period in which the plan of subdivision must be submitted, as it is stated within Section 657(1) of the MGA that the "applicant for subdivision approval" must submit to the "subdivision authority" the plan or instrument that effects the subdivision within one year following the date on which the decision was given to the applicant. As the Proponent failed to provide the requisite instruments within the mandatory timeframe, an extension is necessary. Section 657(6) grants municipal councils the right to grant extensions. Discussion A Plan of Survey has been submitted to the County and all of the conditions mandated by the MPC have been fulfilled. The Proponent, and the prospective purchaser, would like to • finalize the subdivision immediately so that new titles may be obtained for the approved lots. Recommendation That Council grant an extension to the one-year time period in which the Proponent must submit the requisite instrument to effect the subdivision - extension to expire on August 1St, 2005.
