Carried Unanimously Previous Minutes - October 13, 2020 organizational meeting 261-20 Councillor Lewis -- that the October 13, 2020 organizational meeting minutes, be adopted as amended.

Carried Unanimously Previous Minutes - October 13, 2020 regular council meeting 262-20 Councillor Belozer -- that the October 13, 2020 regular council meeting minutes, be adopted as circulated.

Carried Unanimously Public presentation The following individuals provided presentations expressing opposition to the proposed telecommunications facility at New Sarepta: Victor Bujor, New Sarepta resident:

• Referenced statistics and studies stating negative effects on health will occur due to proposed tower in close proximity to residents and businesses within New Sarepta.

• There may be implications that New Sarepta community will be negatively affected i.e. loss of jobs, potential loss of taxes to the county.

Page 3: Regular Council Agenda

CC - Tuesday, November 10, 2020 - 115 -

• There were three rounds submitted expressing opposition with no response back from Telus. • Request that the county send a letter to Telus recommending this proposed facility be stopped.

Gary Seipert, Chair, St. John’s Lutheran Church and resident of New Sarepta:

• Are in dire need of getting point across to Telus and saying no to the proposed 5G Telus cell tower.

• The impact this proposed tower will have on the St. John’s church includes: o forced to shut our doors due to lack of attendance and/or lack of ministers willing to

officiate; o affects to environment, wildlife, domesticated animals and people; o safety regulations regarding radiation.

• Propose that the location of any communication tower be diverted from a populated area more than at least 20 km away.

Michelle Schmaltz, retired teacher from New Sarepta and Leduc County resident: • 5G uses beams of radio waves in the form of microwaves and high frequencies with mass public

exposure to these unnatural and harmful waves. • These proposed towers will require more “mini-cell towers” to be installed, which will increase

the radiation frequency exposure. • Health is being traded for big business profits with these towers being installed throughout the

province. • After several studies conducted since 2006, it was stated “there is substantial evidence that

modulated fields (pulsed or repeated signals) are bioactive which increases the likelihood of health impacts with chronic exposure even at very low exposure levels”.

• Am here today, on behalf of all citizens of New Sarepta and Leduc County who signed the petitions that were presented to the Land Solutions committee and council stating opposition to this Telus 5G tower in New Sarepta and Leduc County at large.

Brenda Seipert, resident of New Sarepta:

• Suggested to Telus to use fibre optic cables however, Telus responded that this would not address the need to improve wireless connectivity to the community.

• Feel the mandate to supply the county and its constituents with the most advanced network Telus has to offer should not be at the expense of New Sarepta’s residents’ health.

Councillor Smith read into the record the November 6, 2020 letter from Leduc County to Land Solutions LP, as attached to and forming part of these minutes, denying the request for a letter of concurrence for the proposed Telecommunications facility located on Lot D, Plan 3313 NY (at Centre Avenue/Centre Street, 5006 Centre Street, New Sarepta, AB).

Recommendation toCounty Council

Submitted by: Dean Ohnysty Reviewed by: Date: November 24, 2020

REPORT NAME

Rolly View Community Association funding support

RECOMMENDATION

That Leduc County council approves a grant in the amount of $18,700 to the Rolly View Community Association.

IMPLICATIONS

Reason: Prior Council motion

Authority (MGA/Bylaw/Policy):

Funding Required: $ 18,700

Funding Source: Cost share capital MPCP

BACKGROUND

In the fall of 2017, council supported a funding contribution to the Rolly View community association to enhance parking lot repairs. These repairs were required as the area was not draining correctly resulting in damage to both the parking lot and hall. The county contribution was conditional, and would require the Association to secure matching contributions and internal fundraising. Since 2017, administration has been working with the hall board as they worked to secure provincial funding and complete the project.

The board has now provided details of their project costs and the work completed to date has addressed the drainage and parking lot concerns. The conditional council approval was up to $25,000 which was approximately 25% of the total project cost. The final project total was $74,847 resulting in a County contribution of $18,700.

The scope of the project has changed since originally proposed, as the society redirected some funds to support drainage concerns impacting the hall as well. Administration supports these adjustments that ultimately address drainage concerns for both areas.

The Rolly View community association continues to be an extremely active hall in the Leduc County.

REPORT NAME

Town of Devon cost share agreement

RECOMMENDATION

That Leduc County council authorizes administration to provide notice to the Town of Devon to discontinue the recreation and library cost share agreement.

BACKGROUND

For more than 30 years Leduc County has partnered with neighboring communities to share in the cost of recreation and library services that are of mutual benefit to both municipalities. These agreements are based on a population percentage and a pre-determined county recreation district that surrounds the community. Over the years as Devon has grown, the percentage of allocation from Leduc County has decreased. Currently, Leduc County contributes 1.09% of their recreation and library costs. This is approximately $20,000 annually.

As we review cost share agreements with all neighboring communities, we are recommending to discontinue agreement with the Town of Devon. Although some residents reside in the Devon recreation district (approximately 73), it is believed that there is a shared benefit between the Town of Devon and Leduc County as many town residents and associations use facilities and services in other communities that are supported by Leduc County. Examples include curling rinks, arenas, indoor pool and fieldhouse use.

Once approved by council, administration will enhance efforts with the Town to determine a mutually beneficial conclusion to the cost share agreement.

2019 Recreation cost share capital contribution – City of Beaumont

RECOMMENDATION

That Leduc County council approves a 2019 recreation contribution to the City of Beaumont in the amount of $14,727.

IMPLICATIONS

Reason: Recreation cost share agreement

BACKGROUND

Leduc County has 6 recreation cost share agreements with neighboring municipalities. These agreements are intended to share the cost of recreation services that benefit residents from both municipalities. In 2020, Leduc County signed a revised agreement with the City of Beaumont further improving our relationship for shared service provision. This new agreement provides a fixed lump sum contribution for operating costs and provides support for capital improvements that are agreed to by the county. As per the agreement, capital contributions are made upon project completion.

The City has provided their 2019 capital summary, which is in line with the proposed projects list for 2019. These projects were reviewed with council in early 2019 as part of the regional list of projects. The proposed 2019 funding is in line with the 2019 budget submission.

REPORT NAME

North Saskatchewan River lands proposal

RECOMMENDATION

That Leduc County council authorizes administration to enter into a land purchase for property located SE 24-50-1-W5 at a value of $550,000 plus all applicable legal and transaction fees.

IMPLICATIONS

Reason: land securement

Authority (MGA/Bylaw/Policy):

Funding Required: $ 550,000

Funding Source: Capital Fund Reserve, Asset Lifecylce Management - Land Management

BACKGROUND

In the spring of 2017 council authorized administration to approach potential landowners with interest in acquiring river access property along the North Saskatchewan River within Leduc County.

The Leduc County Parks and Open Spaces Master Plan identifies the North Saskatchewan River valley as a vital natural resource in this region. It also identifies it as an opportunity for future recreation use, parks and natural corridor protection. As a priority, a new park was identified for the Northwest area of the County by 2025.

On August 25th council authorized administration to meet and negotiate a land value agreement with the owners of property SE 24-50-1-W5 to secure the property for Leduc County.

On September 2nd administration met with the land owners to discuss Leduc County interest in the property and a land value that both would be comfortable with finalizing. Administration identified Leduc County interest in a future community park and access location to the river. Discussion also includes efforts to ensure that this future community park would create a legacy for their family that have a long history within this part of Leduc County.

REPORT NAME

Request to Reinstate School Resource Officer Program

RECOMMENDATION

That Council direct administration to work with the RCMP and the Public Security Division, Alberta Justice and Solicitor General under an agreement to assist Black Gold School Division with their contribution to fund an RCMP Officer (School Resource Officer) who will work with students and communities within Leduc County.

IMPLICATIONS

Reason: Response to October 22, 2020 Letter Authority (MGA/Bylaw/Policy): N/A Funding Required: $ 25,000 Funding Source: Black Gold School Division

BACKGROUND

Leduc County entered into a three (3) year Enhanced Policing Agreement for a School Resource Officer (SRO) for the term of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019.

Leduc County did not renew the School Resource Officer (SRO) agreement with the Alberta Justice and Solicitor General in 2020 as the Government of Alberta introduced a new police costing model that significantly increased the costs of policing for Leduc County. The current police costing model provides a subsidy for enhanced policing positions, however the Province has placed a moratorium on new Option 1 Enhanced Policing Agreement (Full-Time 3 year commitment).

As per the attached October 22, 2020 letter from Bill Romanchuk, Superintendent of Schools/CEO, Black Gold School Division is willing to contribute $25,000 towards a RCMP Officer to work with students and communities within Leduc County.

In discussions with the administrator of the enhanced policing program, Leduc County may consider an Option 2 Enhanced Policing Agreement (hourly positions) that would allow Black Gold School Division to fund an SRO on an hourly basis. This option requires the local municipality to enter into an agreement for the SRO but does not require the municipality to fund the position.

Business License Program

RECOMMENDATION

That the business license initiative be suspended for a period of time to be decided by Counciland that administration be directed to undertake a business census in 2021.

IMPLICATIONS

Reason: The business community in Leduc County is struggling due to the downturn inthe energy sector and the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore, administrationbelieves that the timing of this initiative is not optimal.

Authority (MGA/Bylaw/Policy): N/A

Funding Required: N/A

Funding Source: N/A

BACKGROUND

Leduc County has been working jointly with the Leduc & Wetaskiwin Regional Chamber ofCommerce to develop new business licensing program for the Nisku and EdmontonInternational Airport. The purpose of the project has been to implement a business licenseprogram for the purpose of generating accurate and current data about the County’s major employment area to support the delivery of economic development programming, includinginvestment attraction and business retention & expansion activities.

Administration have previously workshopped with Council options for proceeding withstakeholder engagement in support of the business licensing initiative (most recently in July,2020). Since then, administration have solicited initial feedback from business and interestedindividuals concerning the initiative, including the deployment of an online survey.

Not surprisingly, much of the stakeholder feedback received to date reflects concerns related tothe timing of this initiative due to the challenging economic conditions in our region.Administration observes that industry statistics support this concern, and are recommending analternative approach to secure business data, and that the business licensing project be“parked” for a period of time.

Recommendation to County Council

Submitted by: Grant Bain, Director, Planning & Development Reviewed by: Date: November 24, 2020

Discussion Administration have received feedback from the first stages of stakeholder engagement that have been undertaken for this initiative, which included the use of an online survey. This feedback was collected between September 25 and October 22, 2020. In addition to the responses and feedback received directly through the survey, staff have collected input through social media (Facebook), email communications, and the county’s online form accessible through the website. A common thread that has emerged through the survey, and through other feedback channels, relates to the timing of this initiative due to the current economic conditions in Nisku, driven by both the downturn in the oil and gas industry, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course we understand the economy is in poor shape and many businesses are in crisis. Statistically, administration notes that the vacancy rate in Nisku is in the 7 – 8.5% range for Q3 of 2020 (depending on the source), and the availability rate for floor space is considerably higher than that. These numbers are actively increasing; notably, Lizotte had the Q2 vacancy rate in Nisku at under 5%. Market conditions are also putting downward pressure on base rental rates in the Nisku area. Administration continue to believe that the business license program has merit and will produce valuable data that will support economic development programming. Unfortunately, economic conditions have further declined through the course of this year and administration believe that proceeding with implementation of a business license bylaw at this time is sending the wrong signal to the business community. Therefore, administration recommends that the business license project be paused for an indeterminate period, to be resumed at a time to be determined by Council. In the meantime, administration recommends that the County work to undertake a voluntary census of the business community in 2021, at no direct cost to businesses, to gather data and provide information that can be used to support economic development activities. With Council’s approval, county administration will work with the Leduc & Wetaskiwin Regional Chamber of Commerce on this initiative. ATTACHMENTS None
