1. Call to Order Cr. Dumont called the meeting to order at 7:31 pm.

2. Review a. Agenda – The agenda was reviewed.

RECOMMENDATION Moved by: Cr. Tuckey Seconded by: Cr. Bell That the agenda be adopted as presented. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

b. Minutes – The minutes of August 9, 2016, were reviewed and were adopted at the Council meeting of August 16, 2016. Cr. Patel requested an update on the CWWF Applications. Administration advised that the Town has received $3.7 million in funding from the CWWF Fund for the Water and Sewage Infrastructure Replacement Project. He noted that the Relocation of the Sewage Lagoon Project was denied. Administration advised that the Water and Sewage Infrastructure Replacement Project is going to be a very big and intrusive project in which storm sewer will be installed. He noted that the intersection of McDougal Road and Breynat Street would be closed for approximately a two-month period. With the installation of storm sewers, either bike trails can be constructed, wider sidewalks or boulevards down the center of the street. Administration noted that Fort MacPherson received more funding for projects due to applying for multiple smaller projects. He felt that the Sewage Lagoon Relocation Project was denied due to being too costly. Administration advised that the Water and Sewage Infrastructure Replacement Project will require an additional $1.2 million of Town funds. D/M Smith asked if the project includes paving for the streets. Administration confirmed this and advised that the roads will be paved as soon as the drainage work is completed. D/M Smith asked what the timeline is for the project. Administration believes the project deadline is 2019. Cr. McArthur requested an update on the auction. Administration advised that a fire truck, ambulance, sewage truck and garbage truck were auctioned off. He noted that the old fire truck that was in front of the legion is left. Cr. Bell asked if a date has been set for fall clean-up. Administration is in correspondence with ENR to hold the clean up in conjunction with the hazardous waste round-up. He noted that the intent is to have the clean-up the last week of September if it can be coordinated with ENR.

c. Vision, Values and Goals – The Vision, Values and Goals were reviewed. Cr. Kikoak asked if a successful bidder for the Strategic Plan has been identified. Administration is still in the process of reviewing the documents.


d. 2016 Capital Plan – The Capital Plan was reviewed. Administration reviewed completed projects and projects that are underway. Paving Project – Administration advised that the paving project has been completed. He noted that Whitford Road and Klondike Avenue have been paved and that repairs have been made to multiple streets. He also noted that the arena parking lot has been paved. Sidewalks Repairs and Improvements – As a result of the paving project, a number of sidewalks will need to be repaired approaching intersections. Fire Hydrant Replacements – Administration advised that seven non-functional fire hydrants are being replaced. He anticipates 2 being replaced per week in October. Drainage – Administration advised that the sewer had been replaced on McDougal Road and Calder Cresent; and that sewer development and replacement occurred on Wintergreen Street. Fire Abatement – The Town has received $25,000 for fire abatement from ENR. He noted fire abatement work is ongoing by the arena and Riverside Park. He noted that the $10,000 budgeted for fire abatement may be paid to the Volunteer Fire Department in order to burn the brush left from Operation Nanook behind Axe Handle Hill. An eighty-inch attachment might also be purchased for the bobcat to maintain fire abated areas. NTPC Interruptible Power Rates – Administration advised that the Town has an agreement with the NT Power Corporation to provide interruptible power to all Town Facilities. He noted that there was an issue with the formula they used to calculate rates and that with the drop in oil prices it is cheaper to heat by fuel. He has been in correspondence with NTPC to offer a competitive rate for interruptible power as the Town was being charged nine cents per kilowatt vs. two cents per kilowatt to make at Talston Dam. He noted that they have reduced their interruptible power rate for the Town to $6.6 cents. Downtown Development – Administration advised that the Town is clearing trees for Snowboard Park Development. Additionally, the Town has ordered $10,000 in rails. He noted that the contractor will arrive in Fort Smith on September 22nd for developmental work in order to have the Snowboard Park ready for the Snowboard Territorial Championships in March, 2017. Additionally, the International Committee was pleased with who the Town hired as a contractor for the snowboard park development. The Town will be using the change car as a warming hut for the Snowboard Park until a permanent structure is built. Administration advised that the contractor operates his own equipment which will be readily available to him. Administration is waiting for approval from ITI on the Town’s funding application for $125,000 for water and sewer installation at Riverside Park. If the application is denied water and sewer tanks will need to be installed.

IT Evergreen – Administration advised that the new serve and six replacement computers have been purchased. Mezzanine Design – Administration advised that CAB has been contracted to construct the kitchen, cabinets and storage in the mezzanine area. He noted that the International Committee has various storage requirements.


Landfill Site – Administration advised that the Town of Fort Smith has been advised by the ENR Water Resources Officer that the Landfill Site is in violation. He noted that the Housing Corporation had demolished a duplex containing asbestos but had not been remediated properly. The Town then entered into an agreement with the Housing Corporation to temporarily store the demolished house until they can properly remediate. Unfortunately, the Housing Corporation has taken no action. As a result, the Town has an order pending and will be charged if not dealt with. Administration advised that the Housing Corporation has been non-compliant with the agreement and the Town may have to remediate and invoice for the work. Cr. Tuckey had brought the issue up at the last Housing Corporation meeting where they had advised that the issue was that of the contractor that performed the remediation work. On the positive note, Administration advised that the Housing Corporation would be purchasing three lots in Westgrove Subdivision to build homes for RCMP. He noted that each lot comes with one service and they are looking to build duplexes. For the landfill site, Administration advised that there is an active recycler removing waste from the landfill site. Sewage Lagoon – There is one cell left to de-sludge in the sewage lagoon. Assessment of SRFN Properties – A contractor has been hired to assess SRFN properties in order to receive revenue. MACA has been advised that they will be invoiced for the work. Audit Services – Administration advised that a new auditor will need to be hired as the contract with Avery, Cooper and Company is complete. Ground Highway and Ambulance Rescue – Administration will be submitting an application for Ground Highway and Ambulance Rescue Funding. Cr. Dumont requested an update on the Ambulance Building. Administration has heard no response at this time. He anticipates more federal funding being made available in the future. He noted that the Town has submitted an application for RCC Renovations and will be submitting for a joint emergency services building, for fire and ambulance services, when more funding becomes available. Mayor Napier-Buckley thanked Administration for the update and asked if the electronic waste that caught fire at the landfill facility had been removed by the recycler. Administration advised electronic waste has been deemed hazardous through ENR but is being addressed. Mayor Napier-Buckley asked if water and sewer services have been installed at the new Women’s Corrections site. Administration anticipates the request for services next year. D/M Smith suggested doing public educational campaign around driving carefully in the winter. He noted that after the last paving project there were steep grades made to the road edges and there were people trying to get vehicle damages paid by the Town. Administration felt that this would be great communication from Council to the community. Cr. Kikoak asked when there would be another Bylaw Review meeting scheduled. Mayor Napier-Buckley will check availability and schedule a meeting.

C. Approval of Minutes

MOTION Moved by: Keith Hartery Seconded by: Adam McNab That the minutes of June 29, 2016 be adopted as amended. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

D. Business Arising from the Minutes

Keith introduced Don Webb the new Director of Municipal Services to the Sustainable Development Advisory Board. He noted that a lot of good work has happened over the summer. He was pleased to advise that the Farmer’s Market is a huge success and noted that that SDAB may be asked for input on long term work to promote agriculture. Additionally, he was pleased with the Snowboard Park Development and advised that it would be showcased during a Fireworks Show on Saturday, October 1st for the Town’s 50th Anniversary/Heritage Festival.

E. New Business i. Waste Reduction Plan/Consultant’s Technical Memo – Keith noted that this

was SDAB’s first major project and that funding was received from the GNWT as per SDAB’s application for the initiative. An RFP was released for the work and awarded to Tetra Tech. Keith advised that the Waste Reduction Plan will give direction to start a recycling program. There are currently two garbage pick-up days and he would like to designate one day to picking up compost and recycling. Keith advised that after a waste analysis, it was determined that the 90% of what goes to the Landfill can be either recycled or composted. He noted that with the current waste consumption of the landfill one cell, costing $1.5 million, lasts approximately 5-10 years. If waste is reduced by 90% the life of one cell would be prolonged to approximately 60 years. Keith noted that the waste management concept is broken in to three aspects mechanical, educational, and a remedial. The memo states that Hay River has a company receive their plastics; he would like to know how they are funded. Keith noted that the consultants met with a number of stakeholders during their last visit. He would like them to come back to Fort Smith to reengage the stakeholder groups and the community with more technical questions. Additionally, he would like to ensure more management over the consultant’s community consultation methods. The Town would advertise and set up community consultations for the consultants. Keith has prepared a list of comments in regards to the memo and requested that the board submit any comments by the end of the week. Chris is eager to discuss their findings but will be away in October. Keith suggested having the consultation in November as it is more important that the work is done correctly in order for the plan to work. Tim felt that there would not be enough time to advertise for October anyways. Keith noted that advertisements can be posted on bulletin boards, Facebook, the Town’s website. Additionally, mail drops can be done and flyers can be inserted into water bills.

Keith noted that the document identifies the Town’s current waste management and a comparison to other communities. Chris requested that SDAB be present during the stakeholder meeting and schedule a follow-up meeting with the consultants. Keith felt that it is important to meet with the consultant prior to meeting with the community to establish how the community will be consulted and of the questions that will be asked. Keith suggested meeting with Tetra Tech at the October 19th SDAB meeting via teleconference.

F. Date of Next Meeting

The next SDAB meeting will be on October 19th, 2016 at 12 pm in Council Chambers. G. Adjournment

BRIEFING NOTE

To: Mayor and Council From: Administration Date: October 11, 2016 Subject: Landfill Minor Capital Addition Purpose: To seek approval from Mayor and Council to allocate an additional $25,000 to the Landfill Minor Capital budget in the 2016 Capital Plan. Background: The 2016 Capital Plan approves $25,000 for work at the Landfill that includes "upgrades to facility and burn pit, fencing, removal of recyclables, transport of hazardous waste." No facility upgrades have been completed in 2016, pending major renovations planned for 2017. Further, removal of recyclables is currently being accomplished by local contractors for no charge. Work outstanding is the transport of hazardous waste out of the Landfill. This waste consists of drums of oils, brake fluids, glycols, etc., that have accumulated in the facility over several years. Note that the Town of Fort Smith Landfill is not a licensed hazardous waste receiving facility; any waste stored there is on a temporary basis until it can be removed. The drums of hazardous waste are present in the Landfill for two reasons. First, the Town has historically held a hazardous waste roundup sponsored the the GNWT Department of Environment & Natural Resources (ENR) in conjunction with Fall Clean-up (not in 2016 however, given ENR scheduling conflicts). Second, a significant quantity of hazardous waste was seized from a local contractor as part of a bylaw enforcement initiative. Removal of this waste from the Landfill is expensive; the material has to be appropriately identified, packaged, and labeled, it has to be transported to a suitable receiving facility, and tipping fees have to be paid to this facility. Given these high

2

costs, removal of this material only occurs once a sufficient quantity has accumulated in order to best maximize transportation benefits. The Town of Fort Smith Landfill is regulated by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board via a Water License. Part of the license requirements are that Spring and Fall compliance inspections are performed by the Regulator (in this case, ENR). During the Spring 2016 inspection it was identified that the drums of hazardous waste should be removed prior to Winter 2016/17. Given this requirement, pricing was solicited from the only local contractor currently licensed and operating as a registered hazardous waste carrier - TDC Contracting. TDC has provided an estimate of $47,800 to complete this work. Work is occurring in two phases; identification/packaging/labeling, and transport/tipping. Note that the final contract value may be less if the packaging process results in consolidation of waste (i.e., two or three barrels can be decanted into one barrel, which would reduce transport and tipping costs). The first phase is currently underway, as there is sufficient budget for this work. Completion of the second phase, however, requires an additional capital allocation of $25,000 to the Landfill Minor Capital budget, for a total of $50,000. Recommendation: That an additional $25,000 CPI funds be allocated to the Landfill Minor Capital budget.
