DELEGATION: Economic Development Alliance Theresa Hardiker, Executive Director, Economic Development Alliance (EDA), appeared before Council to give a brief summary of the EDA s initiatives over the past 18 months and to discuss future membership per capita fees. CORPORATE SERVICES: 2016 Budget Amendment Onefour Fire Hall The Fire Services Board requested that Administration go to RFP for a self-frame 30 X 60 building to be used as a fire hall in the Onefour area. The Capital budget provided an allowance of $100,000 for a fire hall facility in the Onefour area. The winning quote provided from GVN Structures is $128,688. A rough estimate received from Gar-Tech Electrical to bring power from the Heydlauff farm will add $70,000 to the project for 125 Amp service. Administration is looking at the possibility of other electrical services solutions. Installing a 60 Amp service would bring the cost down to approximately $40,000. Solar power is still being investigated through Terralta. A rough estimate for an off the grid Solar system would be roughly $40,000 with a 25 year warranty. All inclusive numbers for a 2 bay Fire Hall in Onefour are $215,000 to $245,000 depending on the power source. Resolution No. 2016/460 Councillor Vossler moved to increase the Capital budget to $128,668 for the Onefour Fire Hall and bring back alternative power/heating options for Council s consideration.

13 PUBLIC HEARING CYPRESS COUNTY LAND USE AMENDMENT REPORT By-law No.: 2016/37 Land Use Application: 16/A20 TYPE OF AMENDMENT: From Agricultural District 2 A-2 General Agriculture to Country Residential Farmstead Separation District CR-FS Legal Description: PN SW W4 Location: Range Road 21 Proposal: To reclassify a 4.05 ha parcel from A-2 General Agriculture" to CR- FS for the purposes of creating a separate title for the existing farm residence. Owner: Brost Land & Cattle Co. Ltd. Applicant: Brost Land & Cattle Co. Ltd. Previous Applications: None BACKGROUND INFORMATION: (September 29, 2016) This application is intended to re-classify a 4.05 ha (10.0 acres) parcel from its current Agricultural District 2 designation to the Country Residential Farmstead Separation District designation for the purposes of creating a separate title for the existing farm residence. The proposed subdivision area consists of rolling topography, and contains some accessory buildings which include the pump house for the residence. The remainder of the agricultural title consists of dryland pasture, and cultivated crop land. The proposed parcel has an existing access approach off of Range Road 21, while the remainder of the agricultural title also has direct access to Range Road 21. There are no other country residential titles within the area. If approved, the proposed parcel will be the first subdivision title to be taken out of the quarter section. The proposed parcel is outside of the Tri-Area IDP boundary. CONSIDERATIONS: (September 29, 2016) 1. The applicant has requested a parcel boundary adjustment from the original boundary that Council gave for 1 st reading of the Bylaw. The revised boundary request is identified as Schedule A (Revised), and is attached to this report along with the original Schedule A for comparison purposes. The total area of the parcel would not change, and remains 4.05 ha (10.0 acres) in size. However, the request is to adjust the dimensions of the north/south and east/west boundaries. The adjusted boundary would then re-position the proposed parcel within the quarter section slightly more to the south. Overall, the revised parcel boundaries are minor in nature, and would not have any significant impact on the Page 13 of 68

14 overall intention of the proposed land use re-classification. Therefore, Council will also be considering the requested revisions to the parcel boundary at the time of 2 nd, and possibly 3 rd readings of the Bylaw. 2. The South Saskatchewan Regional Plan states that municipalities are to identify their agricultural lands and to limit their fragmentation and conversion to non-agricultural uses. Under the Implementation Section of the Plan, Section 5, Efficient Use Of Land, it states that The Land-Use Framework promotes approaches to reduce the amount of land that is taken up by permanent or long-term developments by utilizing the minimum amount of land necessary. (Note while the proposed parcel is larger in nature, a considerable amount of the area is comprised of a ravine, and natural low area, and accounts for the well/pump house to the south west of the residence.) 3. The Municipal Development Plan directs Council as follows; Section 2. 2 Objectives (b) to minimize the fragmentation of agricultural land; (f) to locate country residential development where appropriate; Section 3.4 Country Residences (n) a maximum of two residential titles will be permitted to be subdivided per quarter section within an agricultural district outside of the Tri-Area IDP boundary. Council may allow for one vacant single country residential title, and/or one farmstead separation title, and no more than two residential titles are to be subdivided per quarter section. All new vacant, single country residential subdivision proposals may be approved provided that they comply with the following; i) the subdivision does not conflict with existing adjacent land uses or other provisions of this plan ii) the subdivision does not conflict with any other established statutory plans, iv) the subdivision has immediate and direct access to an already established public road. 4. At the time of writing this report, there were no written objections or comments received from any of the adjacent land owners. Planner s Recommendation: Approval, as the proposal complies with the Agricultural strategy under the Implementation of the Plan of the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan, and Section 3.4 (n) of the County s Municipal Development Plan.

24 Regional Collaboration Tourism Promotion Background Council passed a resolution at the August 2 nd meeting to have Administration bring back a proposal from Travel Alberta for possible tourism promotions for the County. Administration staff met with various local tourism and Travel Alberta representatives on Sept. 15 th to discuss some possible regional collaboration project ideas that would qualify under Travel Alberta s matching grant funding. At that meeting, it was reported that over people visited the Walsh tourism visitor information center from May to September. Of those, 7500 people received tourism consultation from the information s staff members who suggested attractions and places to stay. Their staff assisted with booking three times as many campground reservations as hotel reservations. There are numerous people travelling into Alberta with no specific destination or plans in mind. Therefore, there is an opportunity to promote and direct the travelers to specific attractions/destinations/events within Cypress County. In addition, the visitor center has space for the County to setup promotional displays. The County may want to consider investing in a professionally developed tourism promotional display to have on hand at the visitor center? Some of the regional collaboration ideas discussed at the meeting include: Develop a regional destination/experience guide publication for the County with other partners (Redcliff, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, County of Forty-Mile) that can be obtained at various visitor information centers including Walsh and Medicine Hat, as well as hotels, and other attractions (the publication would highlight key attractions/events/unique businesses and tell stories about the area, examples are Elkwater and Desert Blume Golf Courses, Irvine Museum, Premium Sausage, Dunmore Dugout, Sandy Point and Cavan Lake Campground, Dunmore Equestrian Society Arena, Neubauer Farm, fishing/canoeing/kayaking at Bullshead Reservoir/Sandy Point/Cavan Lake, as well as cycling, camping, and hiking), the guide book may cost the County between $ $10 000, Work with Medicine Hat s events campaign through Festival Seekers to look at growing some existing County events (Hilda Mud Bogg, Quonset Days, Elkwater and Irvine Rodeos, etc,.) Develop an online presence for the County s experiences and events with Tourism Medicine Hat s website that can count and track activity, Examine existing tourism assets (photos, written stories, videos) that the County has and filling in the gaps that are missing to help the Alberta Tourism Information System with the County s profile on travelalberta.com. Promote experience and destination packages with participating businesses (example, discounted overnight camping in Cavan Lake, combined with discount golf pass to Desert Blume, combined with Irvine Rodeo tickets for September long weekend) Page 24 of 68

25 For Travel Alberta, it is important to track and measure the success of the funding being spent towards tourism to determine whether it is making a difference, and being able to collect data to make decisions towards adjustments. For example, being able to track increases in campground stays (Sandy Point Park and Cavan Lake), or increases in attendance of events (Hilda Mud Bogg, Quonset Days, Irvine and Elkwater Rodeos), and increases seen in commercial recreation (Elkwater/Desert Blume golf, or Dunmore Dugout). Therefore, they would like to look at assisting in developing a tourism strategy that would encompass some of the above mentioned ideas. Two of the local tourism representatives who were at the meeting said they would be happy to briefly speak to Council to discuss any possible collaboration projects that may be of interest to the County. Recommendations 1. Council move to approve a delegation for local tourism representatives to speak to Council concerning some potential regional collaboration tourism projects for the County. 2. Council move to direct administration to work with other partners to produce a regional destination/experience guide publication. 3. Council move to direct administration to pursue one of the other listed regional collaboration tourism projects that are eligible for the matching grant funding through Travel Alberta. Page 25 of 68

26 Development Agreement For Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd. Background On November 3 rd, 2015, Council passed a resolution to pay the total costs ($497,000 or higher) towards upgrading the existing water mains and sewer collection lines, and contribute up to a maximum of $ towards either existing or new water and sewer infrastructure that would be needed to service Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd. s 39 lots in Irvine. This past August, Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd. made a request that Council consider honoring its financial commitment further into the future since the current housing market conditions are not financially viable for developing this site at the present time. In response, Council decided that the County s financial commitment would expire on December 31, On September 21st, staff submitted a development agreement to Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd. that specifies the requirements for developing the site, as well as the timelines and details of the County s financial commitment. Upon receiving the development agreement, Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd. submitted a letter requesting that the County amend Part 2 of the development agreement. The requested amendments are summarized below; Part 2 be amended to include a sunset clause that the County extend its financial support and commitment to the developer for 5 years, and that if the market has not improved within the 5 years for the developer to have completed the development, that the County and the developer then review the viability of being able to complete the 39 lot development. At that time, if it proves to be viable, then the sunset clause may be extended for a determined period of time. Part 2 be amended to state that phasing of the development may be the most cost effective and prudent way to complete the development. Therefore, should the Developer fail to complete the phased development within the determined timeline for each phase, the County may then exercise its authority to complete the installation of the municipal services/infrastructure by drawing upon the financial commitment, as well as the necessary amount of security to complete the development, under the terms of the agreement. Part 2 be amended to include a statement that if a sunset clause is written in, that a review of the current market values and costs be done based on the Province s construction cost index to make any further construction cost adjustments for the agreement. A copy of their letter with their proposed amendments, and a copy of the original development agreement are attached to this report. Page 26 of 68

27 Recommendations 1. Council move to accept the proposed amendments to the development agreement from Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd.. 2. Council move that Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd. speak to Council as a delegation concerning the development agreement. 3. Council move to further amend the development agreement, and direct Administration to submit the amended development agreement to Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd.. 4. Council move to receive for information. Page 27 of 68

28 September 26 th, 2016 Cypress County nd Avenue Dunmore, Alberta, T1B 0K3 Ph: Re: Municipal Services (Development) Agreement for 39 Lot Development in Irvine Alberta Dear Reeve, County Council Members, Doug Henderson, Jeffrey Dowling In regards to the proposed Development Agreement (DA), that has been drafted and submitted to Lansdowne Equity Ventures Ltd. (LEV) for review, pertaining to the lands known as: Plan ; Block 1 Lots 1-6 inclusive; Block 1 Lots 9-18 inclusive; Block 2 Lots 1-23 residential development); all located within NE W4 inclusive (hamlet LEV has taken the time to review the draft of the Development Agreement (DA) and would like to incorporate the following changes: 1) For Item #2 wherein it has been written: The County will either pay directly or reimburse the Developer for the total costs towards upgrading the existing water mains and sewer collection lines within the 39 lot development, and will contribute up to $117, towards either existing infrastructure or the installation of any new infrastructure that is required to service the 39 lots with water and sewer. The County s financial commitment towards assisting the Developer will expire on December 31, Therefore, any upgrades to the existing water mains and sewer collection lines are to be completed on or before December 31, It is expected that the Developer shall continue to develop and install the various municipal services for this development including the grading, paving of the streets, stormwater management, installation of street lights, fire hydrants, and traffic signs, as well as the servicing of the various private utilities to each lot by no later than September 30 th, If the work is not completed by September 30 th, 2017, the County may use the $117, towards finishing the development, as well as the necessary amount of security that is being held. Any phasing of the development of the 39 lots will require a written request by the Developer to the County, and pending the available funds will be subject to the approval of the County Council. There will be no guarantee of any extended financial commitment and support from the County as a result of the Developer requesting an approval for phasing of any portion of the 39 lots. If the installation of municipal services and local improvements is not completed within the specified timeline, or in the event that a time extension has not been granted by the County to the Developer to allow for phasing of the 39 lots, then the County reserves the right to make use of only the necessary Security amounts to complete the Development as per the terms of this Agreement.

29 LEV would like to strike this Item, and replace with a three (3) part Item. The first part to read as follows: Part 2(a) The County will either pay directly or reimburse the Developer for the total costs towards upgrading the existing water mains and sewer collection lines within the 39 lot development, and will contribute up to $117, towards either existing infrastructure or the installation of any new infrastructure that is required to service the 39 lots with water and sewer. It is expected that the Developer shall continue to develop and install the various municipal services for this development including the grading, paving of the streets, stormwater management, installation of street lights, fire hydrants, and traffic signs, as well as the servicing of the various private utilities to each of the 39 lots. For the record of this Development Agreement, it is to be noted that the calculation of the financial commitment from Cypress County, contributed towards the completion of the development by the Developer is as follows: A commitment to pay $3000 (determined based on November 2015 costs) per lot for services to each of the total 39 lots ($117,000 contribution) A commitment to assist in additional costs of repairing the deep utilities/services, an approximate/estimation of assist: $284,000 (based on November 2015 estimation by Scheffer Andrews Ltd.). This value may fluctuate based on actual costs and project requirements as determined at the time of construction. The County s and the Developer shall enter, via this Development Agreement, into a sunset clause, wherein the County shall extend its commitment to assist the Developer for a duration of five (5) years, so as to provide ample time to allow the developer to complete the development with fiscal prudence, noting that the development project of 39 Lots must be undertaken with financial feasibility and market viability. Should the current market, at the termination period of the five (5) years (the duration of this sunset clause), so prove that developing and completing the noted 39 Lots was not prudent based on market viability, and therefore has neither commenced nor completed, both Cypress County Council, it s Administration, and the Developer shall reassemble to review this sunset clause and the viability of its extension for the purpose of enabling the continuation of the establish Development Agreement as it so pertains to the completion project of the 39 Lots of Irvine. At such time, should it so prove to be the matter, the sunset clause may be renewed at that date in time for the purpose of extending an additional determined period of time; the commitment to assist financially for the upgrades to the existing water mains and sewer collection lines, as well as $117,000 towards the necessary municipal utilities and infrastructure as they are so required.

30 LEV would like to continue the Item with the remaining sentiment of the original Item, noting it as 2(b), and thus to read as follows: Part 2(b) Any phasing of the development of the 39 lots will require a written request by the Developer to the County, and pending the available funds will be subject to the approval of the County Council. If it is to determine that phasing of this development is so required to maintain fiscal prudence, then the developer may apportion those costs to each phase, drawing upon Cypress County s commitment for that percent of the total project. Should the development of the 39 Lots enter into a phasing process, as so determined to be the most cost effective and prudent process towards completion, and should the Developer fails to complete the phased development within the determined project time line for each phase, then the County may exercise the authority to complete the installation of municipal services and local improvements, drawing on its committed contributions to the overall development of the 39 Lots. County reserves the right to make use of only the necessary Security amounts to complete the Development as per the terms of this Agreement LEV would like to complete the Item, noting it as 2(c), and to thus to read as follows: Part 2(c) Should it so be determined that provision for an extended sunset clause be required and therefore exercised, a review of current market values and costs, at that time, based on (and reflected by) a mutually agreed construction cost index (by Provincial standards), and will be utilized to adjust construction costs accordingly, as those costs are associated to any of the phases of the development of the 39 lots. Additionally, Developer shall, in writing to the County, make a request to the County (and its Administration) to review, in collaboration, the required cost adjustments, if so deemed applicable, as they so affect the project of completing the 39 Lots. This would otherwise entail the factors of inflation and cost differentiation caused by market validity, or justifications of cost adjustments caused by unforeseen factors within the development project itself. LEV, in regards to the remaining Items incorporated into this proposed Development Agreement, as it so reads, is agreeable to this Development Agreement. LEV would suggest that a review of all Items been commenced between Cypress County Administration and LEV at the earliest convenience, in order to finalize and complete this Development Agreement. LEV welcomes any and all input from both Cypress County Council and its Administration in order to advance this Development Agreement and its Items.

52 2017 Vehicle & Equipment Capital Replacement Plan Background On Sept 20, 2016, Council approved the addition of 6 units to the Fleet. Two light duty trucks to facilitate Agriculture Summer Positions will be filled from vehicles that would normally go to auction. The 2017 Vehicle & Equipment Capital Replacement Plan has been amended to add the following pieces of equipment to the Fleet. Department Description Capital Purchase Expected Life Increase in annual Contribution Ag Services RTV $25, $ 25,000 Ag Services RTV Trailer $ 8, $ 8,000 Ag Services Sprayer $ 8, $ 8,000 Public Works 12 Wood Chipper $65,000 5 $ 65,000 Update on 2016 Vehicle & Equipment Capital Replacement Plan In 2016, there were forty four units budgeted for replacement. Through analysis of the Fleet recommendations were brought to Council to extend the life cycle on 9 units leaving 35 units for replacement, 30 units of operational equipment and 5 units of Fire equipment. Budget after amendments and recommended change is life cycle Actual Cost to Date Variance $2,818,000 $2,623,970 ($ 194,030) Although all budgeted vehicles and equipment have been purchased, some costs to equip vehicles prior to becoming operational are still outstanding. Information on disposals is not available at this time. Summary of 2017 Vehicle & Equipment Capital Replacement Plan The 2017 Vehicle & Equipment Capital Replacement Plan includes 19 units to be replaced or added to the fleet. New Units On September 20 Council approved the addition of 4 units, a wood chipper, RTV, RTV trailer and Sprayer. Page 52 of 68

53 Carry Forward Units 4 Units were carried forward from the 2016 budget. Management is recommending the replacement of three of these units. Unit U33024 (2006 CAT 924G WHEEL LOADER) is a low hour unit with 3600 hours. Management is recommending that this unit should have the life expectancy extended. The main issue for this unit is the handling of salt and corrosion due to that handling. Management will monitor this unit and advise Council when replacement is required Replacement Units 12 units scheduled for replacement were analyzed to see whether replacement is still required. The units all fit within the parameters set out during the implementation of the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Plan. Management is recommending that these units be replaced as per the scheduled plan. Capital Purchases have decreased from $2,818,000 to $1,088,500; a decrease of $1,729,500. Reserve contributions will increase by $182,069 to $1,870,432. The increase is mainly due to projected cost of replacing fire equipment. The projected replacement values have increased from $500,000 to $600,000 on twelve units with a 20 year estimated useful life. The estimated replacement value of the re-claimer has been increased from $650,000 to $1,000,000. Additional units to the fleet added $7,350 to the annual reserve contribution for future replacement. Recommendations 1. Council move to approve the 2017 Vehicle & Equipment Capital Replacement Plan as presented. 2. Council move to approve the 2017 Vehicle & Equipment Capital Replacement Plan as amended. 3. Council move to receive for information. Page 53 of 68
