Local government meeting.

30
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:11,240
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday, February 28, surgeon county council, regular meeting.

31
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:17,680
Before we begin, I would like to acknowledge that surgeon county is meeting on 26th territory, the

32
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,400
traditional home lands of Alexander and Michelle First Nations, as well as the meeting nation

33
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:27,440
Albert is region 4. We are all treaty people and we love and cherish this place we call home

34
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:33,200
and the land that provides for us. A place where our families, friends, and other relations live and grow.

35
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:38,080
And we commit ourselves to continually becoming better treaty people so that this place and those

36
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,640
we love continue to thrive as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow.

37
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:53,520
First, I would like to open with a proclamation for international women's day, which is March 8, 2023.

38
00:40:54,240 --> 00:41:01,040
We're as international women's day is celebrated around the world by those who believe in gender equity and who seek

39
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:08,960
to improve the lives of women and girls to spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender diverse peoples through cultural, legal, economic, and social change.

40
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:16,960
We're as the 112th international women's day we celebrate and encourage everyone to understand the difference between equity and equality.

41
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:22,480
Where equality means everyone has the same opportunities and the goal of equity is to change

42
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,320
systematic, instructional barriers that get in the way of people's ability to thrive.

43
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:33,440
Whereas international women's day is a time to work toward a world where each woman and girl can exercise

44
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:39,920
for choice such as participating in politics, getting an education, having an income, and living in society's

45
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,960
free from violence and discrimination. And whereas women and people of marginalized

46
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,600
genders make a valuable contribution to sturgeon county as workers, artists, entrepreneurs,

47
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:55,760
caregivers, educators, volunteers, and leaders. Therefore, I let a national mayor of sturgeon county

48
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:03,120
do hereby for claim Wednesday, March 8, 2023. It's international women's day in sturgeon county. And on this day

49
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:09,840
and beyond, I encourage everyone to embrace equity by challenging gender stereotypes, drawing

50
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:21,600
attention to bias, and calling out discrimination. Moving on to the adoption of the agenda.

51
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:30,880
But I do have one item to add to the agenda. I would like to add a notice of motion or

52
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:37,040
guiding the process for appointing the deputy chief elected official. So, if there are no

53
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:44,880
additions or other additions or deletions to the agenda, if I could have a mover for the agenda as

54
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:50,880
amended. Deputy Mayor Tom's. Thank you. I'll call the question. That was in favor.

55
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,560
And that motion is carried unanimously. So, the notice of motion will come in at 9.1.

56
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:06,320
Next item of business. Is the deputy mayor appointment and swearing in?

57
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:16,960
So, Mr. Sopco, I'll have you. Sorry. Oh, the minutes of the meeting. Sorry apologies. I don't

58
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:23,520
show the minutes of the February 14th, 2023 meeting. Are there any corrections? Seeing none.

59
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:30,400
Move the motion or contribute the motion to Council Como, and I'll call the question that was in favor.

60
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:38,080
And that motion is carried unanimously. Thank you. And now, Mr. Sopco will present the

61
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:42,160
request for decision. So, Council can pass the motion and we can move on to the process.

62
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,800
Thank you. Through you, Madam Mayor, two members of Council on the public for the record. My name is

63
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,080
Jesse Sopco and I'm the General Manager of Corporate Services. This morning presenting a request for

64
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:57,680
decision with respect to the appointment of the deputy mayor. And I'll provide some brief background on the

65
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:05,760
item. Section 152 sub one of the Municipal Government Act or the MGA requires that Council appoint one or more

66
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:11,120
Councilors as Deputy Mayor, said only one Councilor holds the office at any one time,

67
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:17,680
and so that the office is filled at all times. Section 61.3 of Sturgeon Counties Procedure by Law

68
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,880
states that Council shall establish by Resolution the roster for Deputy Mayor on a rotating basis

69
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:29,760
and by Convention Surgeon County has adopted a rotating schedule so that each Councilor serves as

70
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:35,680
Deputy Mayor for an equal amount of time over the four-year Council term. Council approved the

71
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:42,800
revised Deputy Mayor's schedule at the December 17, 2021 Council meeting, and Councilor when is next

72
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:50,000
on the schedule to be appointed as Deputy Mayor. Section 156 of the MGA requires that the official

73
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,360
oath be taken prior to a person carrying out any power duty or function assigned to the position of

74
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,760
Deputy Mayor. A further section 6.3 of the Governance and...

75
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Council services committee by law states that the mayor, deputy mayor and the councilor who is next scheduled to be deputy mayor, are voting members of that committee.

76
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:19,000
And councilor McLean and is next scheduled to be deputy mayor, and therefore council in accordance with the by law is required to appoint him as a voting member of the committee.

77
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:27,000
There are two proposed motions in the request for decision, and if passed by council, thereafter the CAO will

78
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:33,000
s where the oath of office to the deputy mayor does. Thank you.

79
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Thank you, Mr. Supko. Any questions?

80
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Seeing none, if I could have a mover for the motion.

81
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,000
We have two in front of us. Go ahead, council, come on.

82
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Through the chair of the council, appoint councilor Dan Derwin as deputy mayor for the

83
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,000
first 2023 to October 31st 2023.

84
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Thank you, any debate?

85
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000
I'm seeing no debate, although there's a lot of material we could go through.

86
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:12,000
But I would just like to take a moment to thank councilor Tom's for her major contribution and support over the past few months.

87
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,000
And certainly look forward to having the deputy mayor, Durwin, support me going forward.

88
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
So, seeing no further debate, I'll call the question.

89
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
That was in favor.

90
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,000
And that motion is carried unanimously. Second motion please.

91
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Through the chair of the council, appoint councilor Matthew McLennan as a voting member of the

92
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Governance and Council Services Committee.

93
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Thank you, any debate?

94
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Seeing none, those in favor?

95
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,000
And that motion is carried unanimously?

96
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Thank you.

97
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,000
And now, councilor Durwin will be a sworn in as deputy mayor for the

98
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,000
period of March 1st to October 31st.

99
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,000
If Mr. McLennan, if you could please administer the oath of office.

100
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

101
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:32,000
It is my duty to solemnly swear, Councillor Durwin, in as deputy mayor.

102
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Councillor Durwin, raise your right hand and repeat after me.

103
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,000
I, Dan Durwin, swear that I will diligently.

104
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,000
I, Dan Durwin, swear that I will diligently.

105
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,000
Faithfully and to the best of my ability.

106
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Faithfully and the best of my ability.

107
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Execute according to law.

108
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Execute according to law.

109
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,000
The office of deputy mayor for Sturgeon County.

110
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,000
The office of deputy mayor for Sturgeon County.

111
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,000
So help me, God.

112
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,000
So help me, God?

113
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,000
This is sworn before me in the town of mournville in the province of Alberta.

114
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
This 28th day of February 2023.

115
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Please go ahead and sign the oath.

116
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Congratulations deputy mayor, Mr. McLennan.

117
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Thank you.

118
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Next, I don't want the agenda is 6.2 by law 605-22 amendments.

119
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Ms. McGinnis, pass it over to you in your team.

120
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Good morning, Council for the record.

121
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,000
I am Bonnie McGinnis.

122
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,000
I'm a manager at Planning and Development Services.

123
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Item 6.2 on the agenda is a motion to give second and third reading to by law 605-22.

124
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:53,000
A request to redistrict a portion of an agricultural parcel from AG agriculture district to R1 country residential district.

125
00:49:53,000 --> 00:50:02,000
The purpose of this redistricting is to redistricting request is to enable the applicant to subdivide and develop two residential parcels.

126
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,000
We're back to Shippansky, Planning and Subdivision Officer.

127
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:15,000
We'll walk you through the redistricting application after which we are happy to answer any of your questions.

128
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Good morning.

129
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Thank you, Bonnie, and Council, colleagues and administration members of the public.

130
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,000
For the record, again, my name is Rebecca Shippansky, Planning and Subdivision Officer.

131
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Today, I will be speaking to propose by last 1605-22.

132
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:36,000
A rezoning application from agricultural district to country residential.

133
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:46,000
A rezoning application has been received to redistrict a portion of the southwest, 36-54-25 west of the fourth.

134
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,000
The parcel is located just outside the Sturgeon Valley Corps area structure plan,

135
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,000
coal mine road being the northern boundary of the plan area.

136
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:00,000
The size and configuration of the parcel is not conducive to viable agricultural operations.

137
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Additionally, there is a drainage course that traverses the parcel.

138
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:16,000
The subject property, which is 5.13 acres in size, is located between the multilots subdivisions of rich field of states and green acres,

139
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:21,000
and is bordered by other R1-country residential parcels to the northeast and south.

140
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,000
The property currently has one dwelling and garage.

141
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:33,000
If the application to redistrict the parcel is successful, the applicant tends to subdivide the parcel into two approximately equal lots,

142
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:38,000
one of which will be located directly north of the existing dwelling.

143
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:48,000
The proposed parcel already has access off of range road to 51 being Sturkey Road, which was approved by administration in 2022.

144
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:58,000
The minimum parcel size for an R1 parcel not connected to a municipal sanitary line is 2.47 acres or one hectare,

145
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:04,000
as such a subsequent subdivision application can meet the subdivision regulations of the R1 district.

146
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Any subdivision proposal to split the lot would be unlikely to impact existing municipal infrastructure as the lots would have private servicing.

147
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:28,000
The following information may be required at the subdivision stage, which includes a lot creating plan to be prepared by a qualified professional to establish the grading relationship between the proposed lot and all adjacent properties.

148
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:34,000
A slope stability analysis as the subject parcel is bisected by a natural drainage course.

149
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:40,000
A hydrological analysis determine the one in 100 year flood inundation elevation for the parcel,

150
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:45,000
access management to both the existing and proposed lots.

151
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:56,000
The rezoning application was circulated to excuse me adjacent landowners and published within the search and county news on January 11th and January 18th.

152
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:05,000
One submission was received that noted historical concerns related to the drainage course on the property.

153
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Other comments were received related to a fence being wrongly located and historical coal mining within the area.

154
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:18,000
At the public hearing, a relative of the applicant spoke in support of the application.

155
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:26,000
During the public hearing, council asked questions of administration pertaining to the drainage course and enforcement action undertaken to date.

156
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Additionally, council requested information about the development activity on the parcel.

157
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:42,000
With regards to historical development activity on this parcel, building permits were issued for the house and garage in March of 1990.

158
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,000
At building permit was issued for a shop in September 2009.

159
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:56,000
A home-based business was approved for a two-custom, guantsmithing sales, ammunition sales and firearm sales in August 2014.

160
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:04,000
In October 2014, a concern neighbor called the county regarding the filling of a ravine which may result in potential flooding.

161
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:12,000
The county issued a stop work order for unauthorized grading and stockpiling of fill on October 31, 2014.

162
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Administration indicated to the landowner that a development permit would be required for grading and stockpiling,

163
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:22,000
and that a geotechnical study would be required to support the application.

164
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Additionally, administration noted that Alberta environment approval would be required as they have jurisdiction in relation to drainage course.

165
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Since then, ownership of the parcel has changed.

166
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:44,000
As part of the redistricting application, administration reached out to a burdened environment in parks for an update, but have not received a response.

167
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:50,000
If the bylaws passed, concerns relating to drainage would be addressed at the subdivision stage.

168
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:58,000
To summarize, the applicants are seeking subdivision and a successful redistricting would enable a subdivision application to be submitted.

169
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:04,000
The applicants have acknowledged their willingness to meet conditions pertaining to the subdivision application.

170
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Any further subdivision would be a benefit to the county as it would allow for drainage concerns to be addressed through subdivision conditions,

171
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:17,000
and without compromising the existing character of the surrounding area.

172
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:26,000
With regards to relevant policy and legislation, again, no local planning document being an area structure plan exists for the area.

173
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Therefore, the county's municipal development plan provides the overarching land use policies for this application.

174
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:50,000
And the relevant policies are with regards to neighborhood G, the role of which is to deliver a sustainable, complete community where placemaking principles and local distinctiveness are embedded into the fabric of the neighborhood.

175
00:55:50,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Policy 2.3.14 allows the county to consider additional residential development within the established Hamlet area administrative boundary, when the existing municipal infrastructure can accommodate the proposal.

176
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:14,000
And while the parcel is currently regarded as agricultural, its size and location among other properties distributed as R1 provides strong rationale for the proposed redistricting.

177
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Any subsequent subdivision proposal to split the lot would unlikely cause any impact to existing municipal infrastructure as the lots would have private servicing.

178
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Administration recommends that Council gives second and third readings to by last 1605-22.

179
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Amendment to the land use by a lot 1387-17 portion of the self-west 3654-25 west of the fourth from agricultural to country residential.

180
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:48,000
That concludes my presentation and I'll be happy to answer quite a few questions you may have.

181
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Thank you very much. Any questions?

182
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Go ahead, Councillor Williams.

183
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Dept. Mayor.

184
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Thank you to the chair.

185
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Just one question.

186
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:07,000
When this came before Council on the 14th of February, I just just historical information wasn't there.

187
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:15,000
So is there any reason why that wasn't what it made a difference if a guy knew there were some history and what we're looking at.

188
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:26,000
But this came up on the second part. You would think that would be one of those things that would be in the report. Thank you.

189
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,000
You met a mayor to Councillor Durwin.

190
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:37,000
The information wouldn't have probably changed our opinion with regards to redistricting this land.

191
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:49,000
It makes sense to redistrict it to our two given that it is surrounded by other residential developments and is not particularly viable for agriculture.

192
00:57:49,000 --> 00:58:02,000
The issues were more related to issuing of development permits and drainage, et cetera, and those were things that could be addressed at the subdivision stage.

193
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:10,000
And now that they are part of the record, we have an intent to address those at the subdivision stage.

194
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:20,000
So in answer to your question, it likely would not have changed our opinion with regards to this particular zoning application.

195
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:27,000
I have a question because of the delay in hearing back from the environment of parks.

196
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:42,000
I survived before the feeling of the ravine has been resolved or what are the next steps going forward because that's an important part of jurisdiction being and certainly some undoing and potentially some past wrongs.

197
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:49,000
But it seems like that could be quite a delay and I just want to make sure that the landowners are aware of what the limitations are.

198
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:56,000
I can start and I'll let Rebecca answer in more awesome, thank you, Madam Mayor.

199
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:15,000
The issue with regards to Alberta environment ideally, yes, we would like to have that resolved prior to subdivision approval but if not prior to subdivision approval, it would certainly be a condition of subdivision so prior to endorsement of the subdivision at land titles.

200
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,000
So that will be addressed as a condition of subdivision.

201
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:25,000
That whatever Alberta environment in parts asks of them would be done before the endorsement.

202
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Correct, absolutely. And just to add to that as part of our conditions of subdivision we're looking at taking the drainage course working with the landowner for an easement agreement or for taking the drainage course as of as a public utility lot.

203
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:50,000
So either way it will be within a administration's court to work alongside with Alberta environment and we're no longer relying on the landowner to work through that process if that makes sense.

204
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Thank you.

205
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,000
And then the fence would have to be adjusted or moved that they're aware of that as well.

206
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Okay, thank you.

207
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
I'll go ahead.

208
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Thanks for your matter. Just curious, where would the approach have to be for if this got subdivided out, just looking at the

209
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:12,000
starky road, which is a rather quick road, and there's a blind corner basically by coal mine and starky,

210
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
just curious where that would have to be if we're developing another blood?

211
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:26,000
Yes, through the chair to Councillor Tom's actually, they did construction approach with administration approval in 2022, so it is located off of starky road,

212
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,000
just north of the existing dwelling.

213
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:36,000
Yeah, so the approach is already there for a new subdivision.

214
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Seeing no further questions, if I could have a mover for the motion, definitely may I go ahead.

215
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Through you, Madam Mayor, that council gives second reading up by last 1605 slash 22.

216
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,000
Any debate?

217
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Go ahead, Councillor Durran, and then the council.

218
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Through the chair. You know something coming into this meeting, I wasn't going to support this,

219
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:10,000
but additional information, I mean from the information in the past history, you know, you fill a

220
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:18,000
ravine, that's definitely good a divert, drainage, a huge problem, as we all know in the county.

221
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:24,000
And you know, it was left in the owner, didn't take responsibility, because he never did anything

222
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:30,000
from 2014 to a change of ownership, but from what I can understand here.

223
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:40,000
But now, last minute, we can compel through the subdivision approval section to fix.

224
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:46,000
We can actually repair and, you know, repair a drainage issue, so I will support this.

225
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,000
Now, thank you.

226
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Yeah, I'm going to support this as well.

227
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:58,000
This is the rare case where we can say that in fill is being done in the valley,

228
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:04,000
and what limited ability we can, so I definitely will support this.

229
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,000
Seeing now for the debate, I'll call the question, those in favour?

230
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,000
And that motion is carried unanimously.

231
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Second motion please.

232
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Through you, that council give third reading of by last 1605 slash 22.

233
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:22,000
And seeing no debate, I'll call the question, those in favour?

234
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,000
And that motion is carried unanimously as well.

235
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,000
Thank you.

236
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Moving on to 6.3 by last 16 and 16 slash 23 civic address by law.

237
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Just to confirm Madam Merrick, can you see the PowerPoint on your spot?

238
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,000
Yes.

239
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,000
All right.

240
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Again, for the record, I am Bonnie McGinnis, manager of Planning and Development Services.

241
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:27,000
And joining me virtually is Ari and a clerk program lead land management who oversaw

242
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:37,000
preparation of this proposed civic addressing by law that is before you for consideration.

243
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Sturgeon County does not have or does currently have a municipal addressing by law.

244
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,000
The existing by law is 26 years old and is outdated.

245
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,000
It references the MD of Sturgeon number 90.

246
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:59,000
It does not contemplate or allow for assigning any kind of urban addresses, which will be necessary in the Sturgeon Valley south.

247
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,000
The current by law has no mechanism to address secondary dwellings.

248
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,000
And this is needed particularly for emergency services purposes.

249
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:16,000
And it does not even provide accountability by identifying who the addressing authority is.

250
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:22,000
The new civic addressing by law names the CAO or designate as the addressing authority.

251
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:28,000
It provides the system that accommodates and maintains the existing rural addressing system.

252
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,000
Well, also includes an urban addressing system.

253
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:36,000
The rural addressing system will be maintained in the Sturgeon Valley Core.

254
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:43,000
The urban addressing system will only be implemented for new urban developments in the Sturgeon Valley south,

255
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:49,000
consistent with the development framework outlined in the Sturgeon Valley south area structure plan.

256
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:56,000
The new by law contains clear definitions and utilizes current terminology.

257
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:06,000
As well, it outlines penalties and offenses for contravention of the by law, something that is not in the current by law.

258
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:22,000
The slide proposed the civic at the proposed civic addressing by law as noted maintains the existing rural addressing system based on the range road and township road that provides access to the parcel or subdivision.

259
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:38,000
But it also includes an urban addressing system that assigns numbers based on the street name assigned with odd and even numbers assigned depending on which side of the road the lot is located on as is standard in most urban centers.

260
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:49,000
As noted, the urban addressing system will only be implemented for new urban communities in the Sturgeon Valley south.

261
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,000
It doesn't want to move.

262
01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:07,000
As part of the development of the civic addressing by law, the team reviewed what other jurisdictions have done regarding addressing, particularly jurisdictions that have both urban centers and rural addressing.

263
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Some have implemented this through bylaws, other have policies in rural municipalities with some urban type development.

264
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:32,000
They typically shifted to an urban addressing system only for those urban areas over time, just similar to what we're doing as the urban development happened then they added an urban component to their civic addressing by law.

265
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:43,000
Neighboring municipalities like Stratkona County obviously for Sherwood Park have urban addressing and in the county they still address via the rural addressing system.

266
01:06:43,000 --> 01:07:00,000
As does the county most of the county is addressed on a rural system but for their east-westest development, they are implementing an urban addressing system.

267
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:08,000
So we are asking that Council consider the following motion that Council give first reading to bylaw 1616-23.

268
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Additionally, that Council directed administration to prepare a separate naming policy for neighborhoods, roads, municipal address assets being parks and facilities and other municipal infrastructure.

269
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:27,000
And that is my presentation Madam Mayor and I would be happy to answer any questions.

270
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:31,000
Thank you. Any questions?

271
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Go ahead Councilor Clinton.

272
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Thank you, three Madam Mayor. I'm wondering what the advantage of this would be why we're choosing to go this route why not keep them as they are.

273
01:07:49,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Partially just because of it gets convoluted we are going to be naming streets within the urban valley or in the Stratkona Valley.

274
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Currently the rural system is set up by Township Road or Range Road. So you could be on Range Road, you know 125 and then your address is.

275
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Range Road 125 and then the number that's assigned within your neighborhood, right, whichever access you have off.

276
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:32,000
So we don't have it would be Starky Road or Sturgeon Road but we're going to have numerous accesses off of Starky Road and so that system is just it's not practical in an urban environment.

277
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:42,000
We're also going to have things like apartment buildings, townhouses and accessory dwellings, you know basement sweets and garage sweets and all of those things.

278
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:58,000
That we need to be able to address and make sure that emergency services knows whether they are going to a basement suite, whether they're going to a garage suite, whether they're going to a unit in an apartment building and all of those types of things.

279
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Right, definitely.

280
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Counselor now, but thank you.

281
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Oh, is it much first? Okay, good, sorry. So just curious, this is only sort of a pint of the valley area south but we have two new developments that are going to go forward in the valley core area.

282
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:20,000
So would motion number two apply to them with respect to a naming policy strategy?

283
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Yes, I think we would probably defer that, I mean a developer will probably have a suggestion on the names for those subdivisions in the core.

284
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:44,000
But certainly if we get the naming policy in place that the naming policy of the community of the subdivision would be vetted through that committee.

285
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Seeing no further questions.

286
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:58,000
And I'm sure, as Deputy Mayor Choms has alluded to before, any address changes that can help kind of post get mail in the right mailbox and the valley would be much appreciated.

287
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,000
And I think this might help that potentially.

288
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,000
Seeing no further questions.

289
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:10,000
If we can read that motion in the record, I think we did yet go ahead.

290
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Through Madam Mayor that council give first reading of by last 16 16 slash 23.

291
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,000
Any debate?

292
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Go ahead.

293
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Councillor Lee.

294
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,000
I thank you through you Madam Mayor.

295
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,000
I'm going to support this.

296
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:29,000
This is a, we're looking forward doing, you know, with the multilots subdivisions.

297
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,000
Accessory dwellings.

298
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:36,000
I mean, keeping families and residents in the county.

299
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,000
I mean, we continue to grow.

300
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,000
There's no doubt about that.

301
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,000
And it's going to.

302
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:46,000
One thing that really stands out is that appointing the CAO or.

303
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:50,000
A designate for addressing authority.

304
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,000
A problem.

305
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,000
You have a common sense approach after you studies the situation.

306
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,000
He can make that decision.

307
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,000
And influence a problem.

308
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,000
That they could drag on.

309
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000
And, you know, that definitely interferes with emergency services.

310
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:08,000
So supporting out and getting emergency services to a site quicker.

311
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,000
Definitely gets my support.

312
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Thank you.

313
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Seeing you for the debate.

314
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,000
I'll call the question those in favor.

315
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,000
And that motion is carried unanimously.

316
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Second motion, please.

317
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Through you, Madam Mayor, that council directed administration to draft a naming policy strategy for

318
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,000
Neighborhood's Roads Municipal Assets and other infrastructure.

319
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,000
Any debate?

320
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,000
Seeing none?

321
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Those in favor?

322
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,000
And that motion is carried unanimously.

323
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,000
Thank you.

324
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:45,000
And then agenda item six point four.

325
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,000
This begins.

326
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,000
Please go ahead.

327
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,000
Good morning, Michael.

328
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,000
Good morning, Madam Mayor.

329
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Members of council.

330
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Item six point four on the agenda relates to.

331
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:08,000
Resubmission of the Villain of Airport area planning documents to the Edmonton Municipal.

332
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Our Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board through their rough process.

333
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Michael Klauson program lead for long-range and regional planning is here with me this morning.

334
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,000
And he will present this item.

335
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,000
Good morning.

336
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,000
Council members of public.

337
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,000
Also here today with me is Rachel Davis.

338
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Senior planner.

339
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,000
She's in the council chambers as well.

340
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Next slide, please.

341
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,000
So for the benefit of members of public.

342
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:43,000
Brief overview of the road less traveled of this rough application that's far.

343
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Sturgeon County submitted a regional evaluation framework application to the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board for the

344
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Council of Airport area structure plan in September 2022.

345
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:04,000
MRB administration issued a rejection decision for the application in October 2022.

346
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:12,000
And there was an Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board meeting scheduled in December 2022 to bring the resolution to.

347
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Bring the matter to resolution.

348
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:21,000
So following regional discussions and opportunities to improve support for the rough application.

349
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:27,000
The county agreed to withdraw the rough application to address items of concern prior to resubmission.

350
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,000
So which brings us to today.

351
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,000
Next slide, please.

352
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Following meetings in late 2022 and 2023 with the MRB administration.

353
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:41,000
County administration is now in a position to present to council.

354
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:46,000
On the proposed changes that would accompany the rough resubmittal.

355
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:54,000
While there are some changes it is important to note that no new information or additional analysis has been completed as part of the changes.

356
01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:04,000
Essentially what we have done is we have taken a lot of the information from the appendices and we've brought them into more prominent sections of the area structure plan itself.

357
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:16,000
So as such all of the adjustments they are considered non-substantial and there will be no requirement to reopen the public hearings associated with the bylaws.

358
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,000
Next slide, please.

359
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:26,000
So as reminder to council, there are actually three bylaws associated with the rough application, the first being the MDP amendment,

360
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:34,000
the second being a Calivillum Santa gravel ASP amendment and the third being the ASP amendment.

361
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:43,000
So the only bylaw of the three that has changed through this additional process has been the new ASP bylaw itself.

362
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:50,000
The public hearings for the all three bylaws they were held on June 14, 2022.

363
01:14:50,000 --> 01:15:00,000
And once again just want to emphasize that while the changes are being proposed within the new ASP, all the information once again is being taken from the appendices and.

364
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:15,000
So, all of the information that was submitted as part of first reading in the public hearing, all the public council, stakeholders have all seen this information.

365
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,000
And once again, it's we're bringing it into more prominent sections of the SP itself.

366
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Next slide, please.

367
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:27,000
So, based upon feedback received from EMRB administration.

368
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Administration is recommending several adjustments to the dnduary structure plan.

369
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:37,000
And my presentation today will take counsel through the proposed changes at a very high level.

370
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Both the red line version and a final version of the adjusted by law is provided in the council agenda package.

371
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:51,000
So, if we look at the slide, if you see the items to the left, there are five items of concern.

372
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:58,000
These were the items that were identified by EMRB administration as part of their October 2022 report.

373
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:08,000
And what I'll do is I'll go through each individually and on the slide to the right, highlight and grade, give the summary of what the changes we are proposing in the new SP.

374
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:18,000
So, for the first item of concern, there was more information needed on the land use proposed of the plan area along with phasing.

375
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:26,000
So, what you'll see in the new in the update of SP, you'll see more text and figures in section 6.2 of the SP.

376
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,000
We've also included a new future land use map.

377
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,000
We have updated land use statistics.

378
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:38,000
And we also included additional policies that help guide the four business concepts of the SP.

379
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:48,000
So, if you remember the four business concepts, they're related to aviation and aerospace, equal park, aggra innovation and logistic parks.

380
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Next slide, please.

381
01:16:51,000 --> 01:17:00,000
On the item number two related to the ag impact assessment, what we needed to do is we went into the SP section related to agriculture.

382
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:06,000
And we made some adjustments there, interesting for council to know it on this item.

383
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:13,000
This will be the first wrath that will be evaluated under the now that ramp is an in effect.

384
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:23,000
So, what we did as part of this as well, in the ag impact assessment, we actually completed under the premise that the ramp would be approved by the province.

385
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:29,000
So, this is a good news for us, we did some good long range planning in that aspect.

386
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:37,000
So, the ag impact assessment has been completed in conjunction with the policies that are included within ramp.

387
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,000
Next slide, please.

388
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:48,000
On the item related to alternative modes of transportation, in the context of the growth plan, alternative modes of transportation also includes items such as transit.

389
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:52,000
So, in the area structure plan, we did already have sections related to this.

390
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:58,000
So, what we needed to do is we made some necessary adjustments to shore up each of those sections.

391
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Next slide, please.

392
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:05,000
On the fourth item related to regional infrastructure required to enable development.

393
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:11,000
This is, this is the item that demanded the most attention over the last three months.

394
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:19,000
So, when we talk about infrastructure, it includes water, sanitary, storm water and transportation.

395
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:25,000
So, we have to go within each of those sections individually and bring more of the information from the appendices.

396
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:31,000
We included more preamble text to give context of what's local infrastructure, what's regional infrastructure.

397
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:43,000
And then we also short up some of the policies to paint a more clear picture of what's needed for implementation in the plan area.

398
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:48,000
On the last item regarding expansion of the major employment area.

399
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:57,000
So, from the beginning of this process, we have articulated that this is a reconfiguration of the major employment area based upon servicing needs.

400
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:01,000
Principles of continuous growth, cluster development, and jurisdictional needs.

401
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:09,000
So, in jurisdictional needs, we talk about what's within the airport authority and then what's within the the municipality itself.

402
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:18,000
In reference to this item, what we have done, we've laid in more background text within the area structure plan itself.

403
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:22,000
The item, just for councils understanding on this one.

404
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:34,000
I guess despite our efforts to provide more clarification on this one, it this one does remain and I'm known in terms of if the adjustments we've done are enough.

405
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:43,000
So, ultimately this item may need to go for clarification for the board immediately following the the ref process.

406
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Next slide.

407
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:50,000
So, just in terms of next steps, these are noted on the slide.

408
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Today administration has several motions for council consideration.

409
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:04,000
This will include first needing to rescind a previous council motion for the ASP by law, which already received second reading.

410
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:13,000
With that, we would need to complete a second reading once again to by law 1594-22 as amended with the proposed changes.

411
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:23,000
And following that motion, we would need council direction to submit the the the ref to the to the board for review.

412
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:31,000
Administration upon those those motions of the administration would then finalize the ref application in the coming days.

413
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:37,000
I've highlighted a March second deadline for submittal.

414
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Just this being need to submit it but to MRB by this date in order to meet an April 13th MRB board meeting.

415
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:52,000
In the event that a refusal recommendation is received in the item related to the expansion.

416
01:20:52,000 --> 01:21:04,000
So, if we do submit by March second, which we are will be in a position to this allows MRB via a lot of time to review the application as per their mandate of timelines.

417
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:12,000
And then we would still have the ability to get on to the board agenda for April 13th if needed.

418
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:23,000
In conjunction with council's authorization to submit the ref application, the county will also employ all the necessary communications as per our approved advocacy plan.

419
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:30,000
And if the if the application is approved either through the ref process or subsequently.

420
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:36,000
April 13th we would then be in a position to come back to council for third reading.

421
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:42,000
And for approval of all the bylaws at that time so that I'm there and members of council.

422
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:46,000
This concludes the presentation and we'd have to take any questions.

423
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,000
Thank you.

424
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Any questions of administration.

425
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,000
Go ahead council.

426
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:56,000
Thank you.

427
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Thank you to you madam mayor.

428
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,000
Can you go back to the fifth point?

429
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:06,000
I'm just curious with that if you could expand on that a little bit.

430
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:11,000
Just is there a number that they gave us a number and say.

431
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:20,000
You know, it has to be below this number in terms of employment numbers or is can you provide a bit more clarity on that for me?

432
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,000
Thank you.

433
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Thank you for the question.

434
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Through the chair to council.

435
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:29,000
The item related to expansion gets to.

436
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:33,000
On a technical aspect related to the schedule of the growth plan.

437
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:39,000
So the area that we have articulated is mostly surrounds the airport.

438
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,000
While we have.

439
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,000
I looked at the growth plan policies.

440
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,000
We there are support policies that speak to the area around it.

441
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,000
So really.

442
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:54,000
That is the main item that the board or the EM might be administration concerned with.

443
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:58,000
They feel they're not in a position to be able to provide a decision on that matter.

444
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Now there has been previously in.

445
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,000
To support the growth plan.

446
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:15,000
In initiation there has been some reports done to talk about areas in terms of jobs and in terms of numbers.

447
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:21,000
But those are not going to be used to evaluate the rough application in any nature.

448
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,000
So really what we essentially were doing as part of this.

449
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:29,000
We're providing updated information with employment statistics, land use planning, all the analysis.

450
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,000
So I think the really that item related to the expansion.

451
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,000
It just remains as an item because it is.

452
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,000
Not a cotton dry.

453
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:43,000
I don't believe EMRB is in a position they feel where they can they can make the decision on that.

454
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,000
And that's why they're deferring it to the board.

455
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:52,000
If I could just clarify I think.

456
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:59,000
One of the points of disagreement is the.

457
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:05,000
EMRB administration is looking at a conceptual map that shows.

458
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,000
A shaded area to be a defined employment area.

459
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,000
But because that's not in our jurisdiction.

460
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:12,000
It's federal jurisdiction.

461
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,000
It's owned by the Hamilton Regional Airport Authority.

462
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,000
It's not for us to develop.

463
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,000
So we've created a plan.

464
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,000
For outside of their area.

465
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,000
And so it's that's where there's.

466
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:28,000
Break down in in opinion as to they look at.

467
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,000
They look at it as in an expansion of the employment area.

468
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:37,000
We look at it as a displacement into an area that we have jurisdiction over.

469
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,000
So that's the the difference.

470
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:41,000
There.

471
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,000
Go ahead.

472
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:44,000
Mr. Peter.

473
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,000
And through the chair that that's a great.

474
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,000
Great supplement there.

475
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:55,000
And the only I would add is that that in the the the clarity were.

476
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:00,000
We're seeking and and the way that the county is interpreting this.

477
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:04,000
This this application is this major in.

478
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,000
I'm I'm employment area.

479
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:10,000
It's important that the public understand that the total area.

480
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:19,000
To be be be developed or be designated as as an employment area is essentially unchanged.

481
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:24,000
In fact, it's a smaller now under our new application.

482
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,000
And it was under the the growth.

483
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,000
The growth plan itself.

484
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,000
So so again.

485
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:32,000
I.

486
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Further to the comments that the mayor had.

487
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:40,000
It's interpretation on on whether this is in fact an expansion and and that's.

488
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Fend nature of the conversation that the board may have to.

489
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,000
Thank you.

490
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,000
Thank you.

491
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:52,000
I appreciate the information or the explanation.

492
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,000
So it's more a question about.

493
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,000
The size of the.

494
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,000
As opposed to numbers on how many employed.

495
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:04,000
And it's more of a definition about how big that area exists.

496
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:11,000
So then that was actually my follow up was how is this practically speaking improved our case.

497
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:17,000
And then so making that that area is impact smaller is part of it.

498
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:23,000
And then was there any other kind of practical things that are easy for me to understand.

499
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:27,000
It's to how much like how this improves our application.

500
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:28,000
And that to the chair.

501
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:33,000
I would just add that that in terms of how this improves our our application.

502
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:36,000
We certainly do feel in the speaking to all of our peers in the region.

503
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:41,000
And even even in some of the the dialogues that members of council have.

504
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,000
I've been having or the the CAO here.

505
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:50,000
That that that that we wanted to clear up any opportunity for.

506
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:55,000
Confusion on well well where is information that located in the document.

507
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:58,000
I think that's been all cleared up.

508
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:03,000
We cleared up through a process at the EM or be where they actually educated.

509
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:08,000
The game members of the board on the purpose and the intent of the rough.

510
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,000
You know.

511
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,000
What is their role to consider.

512
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,000
But what.

513
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:19,000
Like what are the elements of the the the the rough that are germane to be considered and not.

514
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:29,000
So that like that's all happened and in our view now the only matter to to be.

515
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Me debated or interpreted is this this expansion of major employer.

516
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Just to supplement the.

517
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Madam Mayor through you to council McLinder how this has improved.

518
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
The the rough process doesn't allow.

519
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,000
The minister to.

520
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:56,000
To to talk essentially once you submit your application it's it's in there.

521
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Through these.

522
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:04,000
Process us we've been able to just have discussions for the last three months essentially we've been able to.

523
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:09,000
Educate him our be administration on the particulars of this plan area.

524
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:13,000
The items related to servicing to jurisdiction to working with the airport.

525
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,000
All the collaboration we've done with through the VLN network.

526
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:22,000
I would say at this point they have they know our application just as well as as we do.

527
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,000
Especially related to those additional items.

528
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:33,000
So that has been a benefit in terms of being able to work as partners and planning in this area to to understand our application.

529
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:34,000
So.

530
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:36,000
How does that benefit us now that it where we.

531
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,000
Reapp.

532
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,000
Reapplication.

533
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,000
Once again the door closes not allowed to talk but with this.

534
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:44,000
There was this time I believe we would have a.

535
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:48,000
EMR be administration would have a very clear understanding of our application.

536
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:52,000
So that has been positive in that sense.

537
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,000
I would say councilor McLean.

538
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:55,000
Go ahead.

539
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,000
Ms. McLean.

540
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,000
Mayor could I recommend that we go into.

541
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Close session the council consider going into close session.

542
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Certainly I think there's probably some debate or conversation around here that.

543
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Probably does need to be done in private to protect relationships potentially.

544
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:22,000
Should we recess do need a moment to to select the parts of the Freedom of Information Privacy Act.

545
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Or.

546
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:24,000
Thank you madam.

547
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:28,000
I would propose to state the motion and a member of council thereafter wishes to move it.

548
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,000
That would if that would be satisfactory to council.

549
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:35,000
The proposed motion would be that council move to a close session at 951.

550
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:40,000
Presumed to Section 197 to the Municipal Government Act in accordance to Section 24.

551
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,000
Advice from officials in Section 25.

552
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:46,000
This closure harmful to economic and other interests of the public body.

553
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,000
If the Freedom of Information and Protection Privacy Act.

554
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,000
I'll attribute that most of you definitely are Tom's.

555
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,000
I think she's crushing on you.

556
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,000
The fact that you've just rattled that off by heart.

557
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,000
Policy wants.

558
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,000
Okay.

559
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,000
I'll call.

560
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:07,000
All the questions I was in favor. And that motion is carried. We'll give administration a moment to take

561
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:08,000
us into closing.

562
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,000
You

563
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:45,000
Please, public comment.

564
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:23,000
There are four motions. In front of us, go ahead, Councilor Clinton.

565
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:28,000
Do you remember Mayor that Councilor said motion 325-22?

566
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:31,000
Any debate on that?

567
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:34,000
Seeing none, those in favor?

568
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:38,000
That motion is carried unanimously.

569
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:45,000
That Council gives second reading of bylaw 1594-22 as amended.

570
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:49,000
Any debate? Those in favor?

571
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,000
That motion is carried unanimously.

572
01:52:52,000 --> 01:53:03,000
The Council directed administration to resubmit the Villanue of Airport Area Documents bylaw 1592-22 bylaw 1593-22

573
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:12,000
and bylaw 1594-22 to the Edmonton Metro Region Board in accordance with the Regional Evaluation Framework process.

574
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:16,000
Any debate? Go ahead, Deputy Mayor Thomas?

575
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:26,000
I'm going to support this motion. First, I wanted to thank our staff for what I see unfortunately in some circumstances those hoops to jump through.

576
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:32,000
I believe there's way more than one way to do documents correctly.

577
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:41,000
I went to university. Appenduses count. They are not an extra. They're not an extraneous. They're not a nice to have. They're part of the document.

578
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:50,000
I appreciate you going to all the trouble to move the writing from the appendixes into a different section so that people were more comfortable with it,

579
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:56,000
although I absolutely disagree with us having to do things in a prescribed manner by an external board.

580
01:53:56,000 --> 01:54:04,000
Like I say, that being said, I want to thank you for all the work to move the writing so that the appendixes were not an issue anymore.

581
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:12,000
I appreciate it very much. I think you guys have really stepped out and done a ton and whether I agree on whether that work should have had to have been undertaken to begin with.

582
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:17,000
I'm really glad that you were here to do it. Thank you.

583
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:19,000
Go ahead, Councillor Barry.

584
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:29,000
Thanks, Chair. I will support this motion. Just because I support the bill and the work that we've done to it.

585
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:33,000
And going forward, I think it's a great thing for certain county.

586
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:37,000
But I also know that there's...

587
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:47,000
I have some issues with the structure of the EMRB and this will also bring forth some change if not accepted by the EMRB.

588
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:52,000
So going forward, I would support this.

589
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,000
Councillor Durman, go ahead.

590
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:59,000
Thank you, Madam Mayor, through you. I'm going to support this motion.

591
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:06,000
Like Councillor Durman, Deputy Mayor Tom said, support the staff and well-prepared application.

592
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:10,000
I mean, that corrections made changes happening.

593
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:21,000
I mean, even the fact that the EMRB was willing to have these misunderstandings recognized and they're talking, it says lots.

594
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:29,000
So that being said, you know, they're approaching this maybe with an unopened mind and we can move through this.

595
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:34,000
And yeah, that's what I have to say. Thank you.

596
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:41,000
I will certainly support this motion. I echo the comments already made.

597
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:49,000
And I do hope that this entire exercise has been a learning opportunity for the members of the Board.

598
01:55:49,000 --> 01:56:00,000
And potentially there could be a reconsideration of the defeated motion that Sturgeon County brought forward in 2019 to update the regional evaluation framework, especially with respect to economic development.

599
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:06,000
When we've gone from planning growth to fighting for growth in appropriate areas.

600
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:14,000
So I will support this and I'll also, at the board, support any work around updating the...

601
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:19,000
The ref process, a meaningful and appropriate update of the growth plan.

602
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:24,000
I think there's a bit of an opportunity lost there, but we'll continue to work.

603
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:32,000
And we'll also continue to advocate for a shift in the voting structure so that the good work that's done at the board can proceed.

604
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:41,000
But with, I think, more diversity of thought at the table than what we currently get with the voting structure that's currently there.

605
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:45,000
But I know there's work underway in a number of fronts to make those improvements.

606
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:50,000
And I do think the VLN and what's happening in that area.

607
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:57,000
I think this is the forefront of work similar to the great cluster development in the Heartland, around oil and gas and petrochemical.

608
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:02,000
I think there's as much opportunity on the west side of the county.

609
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:08,000
So I'm excited to support that. And I appreciate the support of council and administration in doing that great work.

610
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:12,000
I'll see no further debate. I'll call the question, those in favor.

611
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:17,000
And that motion is carried unanimously and fourth and final motion.

612
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:23,000
Through you, Madam Mayor, that council directed administration of bringing forward by law 1592-22

613
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:30,000
by law 1593-22 and by law 1594-22 for consideration of third reading.

614
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:37,000
Following completion of the Edmonton Metro Region Board Regional Evaluation Framework process.

Thank you very much.

618
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:50,000
Bonnie and Michael will take a ten minute recess.

619
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Thank you.

620
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,000
Thank you.

621
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:09,000
Thank you.

622
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:39,000
Thank you.

623
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:16,080
We'll call the Reggo Accounts meeting back to order for February 28, and the next item of business

624
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:25,480
is a public hearing. I will call this public hearing to order. I'm Marlon Anatu, and I will be the

639
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:58,120
I will now review the process for this public hearing. This is a recorded hearing and the minutes will be

640
02:07:58,120 --> 02:08:03,640
prepared. Administration will provide a brief overview in summary of the proposed by law and then

02:08:15,160 --> 02:08:20,440

02:08:20,440 --> 02:08:26,360
submissions that were received after the publication of the council agenda and then council will then

646
02:08:32,200 --> 02:08:40,440
the by law. Good morning, Madam Mayor, afternoon, Madam Mayor, members of council and any

647
02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:47,800
members of the public in attendance. This public hearing is for by law 161023, which are amendments to the

648
02:08:47,800 --> 02:08:54,680
surgeon valley core area structure plan with the intent to provide new infill regulations that would

649
02:08:54,680 --> 02:09:01,480
support landowner clarity and subdivision on subdivision in the valley core and to maintain the

650
02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:07,320
county's ability to service the existing lots within the valley core. Rebecca Shepansky,

651
02:09:07,320 --> 02:09:11,000
planning and subdivision officer is here to present this item this afternoon.

652
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:21,880
Hello again and good afternoon. So as Bonnie stated today, I will be speaking to the proposed by

653
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:27,400
law 161023, the amendment application to the Surge of Valley Core area structure plan regarding

654
02:09:27,400 --> 02:09:33,720
infill subdivision. So for context, this amendment pertains to the Surge and Valley Core

655
02:09:33,720 --> 02:09:41,320
area structure plan. To facilitate the amendments, the land use by law, which will be discussed later

656
02:09:41,320 --> 02:09:48,280
this afternoon by law 161323, a clarification policy is required in the Surge and Valley Core area

657
02:09:48,280 --> 02:09:53,320
structure plan. The purpose of which is to guide the development of the remainder of the existing

658
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:58,520
core of the Surge and Valley in alignment with the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan.

659
02:09:59,160 --> 02:10:05,080
Section 5.5.2 of the Surge and Valley Core area structure plan states that the county should

660
02:10:05,080 --> 02:10:11,800
investigate opportunities to optimize existing municipal infrastructure, which may include evaluating

661
02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:17,240
opportunities for greater infill development. Any outcomes from this investigation shall require

662
02:10:17,240 --> 02:10:24,840
an amendment to this plan prior to implementation. As such, administration proposes to add policy

663
02:10:24,840 --> 02:10:32,200
5.5.2A, which would state that further subdivision of existing residential lots, may only be

664
02:10:32,200 --> 02:10:37,880
considered if the proposed lots of the remnant lot may be adequately serviced and adhered to the

665
02:10:37,880 --> 02:10:44,360
land use by law regulations respecting minimum parcel size and width. As the infrastructure for existing

666
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:50,120
communities was only designed to accommodate the existing lots, it is important that the

667
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:55,880
county developed clear policy and regulations pertaining to infill subdivision to ensure that servicing

668
02:10:55,880 --> 02:11:03,560
requirements are met without requiring infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, this by law also gives

669
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:09,560
us the opportunity to undertake a minor mapping amendment update to reflect two redistricting

670
02:11:09,560 --> 02:11:16,120
applications which were approved last year within the Southwest 30-54-24 West to the Fourth

671
02:11:16,120 --> 02:11:25,000
and the Northwest 30-54-24 West to the Fourth from a state residential to agriculture.

672
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:31,400
This will result in an update of figure 5, the development concept map, and figure 9,

673
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:34,680
development phasing map found within the area structure plan.

674
02:11:35,560 --> 02:11:41,640
Relevant county departments have reviewed the proposed policy and regulatory amendments

675
02:11:41,640 --> 02:11:46,760
and have expressed no concerns. Administration has received confirmation from the Edmonton

676
02:11:46,760 --> 02:11:53,800
Metropolitan Region Board that the proposed infa policy does not constitute a substantive amendment

677
02:11:53,800 --> 02:12:01,960
and is therefore not subject to the regional evaluation framework process. Section 5.5.1 of the

678
02:12:01,960 --> 02:12:08,360
Surgeon Valley Core Area Structure Plan notes that established community character shall be maintained

679
02:12:08,360 --> 02:12:15,480
by following the subdivision regulations within the land use by law. Section 5.5.2 of the Surgeon

680
02:12:15,480 --> 02:12:20,920
Valley Core Area Structure Plan states again that the county should investigate opportunities to

681
02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:26,040
optimize existing municipal infrastructure which may include evaluating opportunities for greater

682
02:12:26,040 --> 02:12:30,760
infill development. Any outcomes from this investigation shall require amendment to this plan prior

683
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:35,240
to implementation. So this concludes my presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions.

684
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:42,760
Thank you. Any questions from council to Mr. Shinko Head Council.

685
02:12:44,440 --> 02:12:52,840
Thank you. Through you Madam Mayor, I was just curious. Is it the EMRB that makes the determine solely

686
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:55,400
as to whether or not it's considered substantive?

687
02:12:55,400 --> 02:13:07,080
Through you Madam Mayor to Councillor McLean. No, there is criteria in the rough or referral

688
02:13:07,080 --> 02:13:14,120
process that indicates that when some amendments to the to a statutory document are considered

689
02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:21,160
non-substantive. They do not need to be referred. We did, however, just ask because we just felt that

690
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:27,240
it was prudent to ask the EMRB whether they also felt that in our opinion we thought it was

691
02:13:27,240 --> 02:13:33,240
a non-substantive change and they agreed with us. So we just did it out of undo kind of caution.

692
02:13:40,920 --> 02:13:49,000
In just reviewing the policies for this bylaw, I have a question that maybe isn't specific to this,

693
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:56,920
but on policy five, three, two, or says the county shall allow for existing agricultural

694
02:13:56,920 --> 02:14:03,080
operations to continue in alignment with the land use bylaw. Districting until outliding plans for

695
02:14:03,080 --> 02:14:10,920
future development have been approved by the county and redistricting has occurred. Are we, or can we

696
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:19,400
go forward, ensure that as development happens there, that we manage the time between when agriculture

697
02:14:19,400 --> 02:14:24,600
is happening and when active development is happening so that we don't end up with a valley filled

698
02:14:24,600 --> 02:14:32,440
with sentmas kennemile and horse tail and a number of other noxious weeds and I know, and I know

699
02:14:32,440 --> 02:14:37,640
this isn't specific to the bylaw, so I'm just going to look over to legislative services and see if I

700
02:14:37,640 --> 02:14:43,240
can raise this question here or because it's not specific to the subdivision of those

701
02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:48,920
whether I should hold this question for another time. Thank you through Madam Mayor. The advice

702
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:54,920
would be that the questions respect just the bylaw amendment that's proposed, but that the question

703
02:14:54,920 --> 02:15:02,280
be posed, and administration could respond at a later time.

704
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:05,000
Okay, well, duly noted, please answer my question at another time.

705
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Seeing no questions of administration and could the legislative officer read into the record any written submissions

706
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:20,000
that were received after the publication of the Council meeting agenda package?

707
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:27,000
Thank you, Madam Mayor. I can confirm that there have been no submissions received.

708
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:33,000
I just want to confirm that the gentleman in the gallery is here for the next public hearing,

709
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:37,000
potentially not for this one, so that it's okay.

710
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:44,000
Okay, okay, I just want to make sure, thank you very much.

711
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:55,000
So again, Council knowing that there have been no written submissions last call for any questions.

712
02:15:55,000 --> 02:15:58,000
Seeing none.

713
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:02,000
Any final comments from administration?

714
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:03,000
No, okay.

715
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:09,000
So once the public hearing is closed, Council is unable to receive any further written or verbal submission.

716
02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:18,000
So as Council satisfied that the information received enables you to make a decision on this matter.

717
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:30,000
Okay, then I will move to close the public hearing at 144, and we will now move to the next item on the agenda.

718
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:55,000
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

719
02:16:55,000 --> 02:17:22,000
So prior to the next agenda item, two will move on to agenda at 9.1.

720
02:17:22,000 --> 02:17:35,000
So I will give notice that I will introduce the following motion at the March 14th, 2023 Council meeting.

721
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:50,000
The Council directed administration to research the process that comparator municipalities used to appoint the deputy chief elected official and report back to Council by April 11th, 2023 regular council meeting.

722
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:59,000
And our next item on the agenda is to a clock so we could take a brief recess and come back at you.

723
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:30,000
Thank you.

724
02:18:50,000 --> 02:19:00,000
Thank you.

725
02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:30,000
Thank you.

746
02:29:50,000 --> 02:30:00,000

I will again hand things over to Rebecca Shapansky who will present this item this afternoon after which we are available to answer any questions that Council may have regarding these amendments.

767
02:36:01,760 --> 02:36:08,760
Hello again. Thank you, Bonnie. Good afternoon, Council, colleagues and administration and members of the public.

768
02:36:08,760 --> 02:36:24,760
Again, for the public record, my name is Rebecca Shapansky, Planning and Subdivision Officer. Today I'll be speaking to by law 1613-23 and amendment application to the line use by law regarding the R2 district subdivision regulations.

769
02:36:24,760 --> 02:36:34,760
So, for context, the majority of the R2 country estate residential district lots are located within the Surgeon Valley Corps.

770
02:36:34,760 --> 02:36:42,760
There are other R2 lots indicated in these small yellow circles here that I will speak to further.

771
02:36:43,760 --> 02:36:54,760
The additional R2 lots outside of the Sturgeon Valley Corps are related to four quarter sections zoned R2 outside of Castavista estates.

772
02:36:54,760 --> 02:37:03,760
These will require an outline plan in order to be fully developed in the future with regards to infill subdivisions as well.

773
02:37:03,760 --> 02:37:14,760
And next, we have the Northern Lights estates that have roughly 45 lots currently zoned R2.

774
02:37:14,760 --> 02:37:27,760
And again, there are some servicing requirements that would need to be further investigated but wouldn't apply to the infill subdivision as is currently proposed.

775
02:37:27,760 --> 02:37:41,760
So, the county is experiencing development pressures within the Sturgeon Valley. Part of this pressure is an increase in inquiries and applications related to the further subdivision of residential parcels with an existing Sturgeon Valley communities.

776
02:37:41,760 --> 02:37:50,760
The vast majority of which are zoned as R2 country estate residential district with some of these subdivisions proposing panhandle access.

777
02:37:50,760 --> 02:38:03,760
Panhandle access is the name given when the area of a parcel that abuds the road is much narrower than is typical, usually a chute via a long driveway and odd parcel configuration.

778
02:38:03,760 --> 02:38:11,760
Historically, there have been issues with panhandle access, which include landowner conflicts over privacy and potential blocked access.

779
02:38:11,760 --> 02:38:25,760
During the development of the Sturgeon Valley core area structure plan and the Sturgeon Valley south area structure plans, comments were received from valley residents, opposed to large scale infill of existing Sturgeon Valley communities.

780
02:38:25,760 --> 02:38:34,760
The overall intent of the core was to keep these existing character of the lands as is which is mainly comprised of larger country residential parcels.

781
02:38:34,760 --> 02:38:44,760
Another concern is related to inadequate spacing between access points and driveways and future servicing of proposed parcels is also a large issue.

782
02:38:44,760 --> 02:38:56,760
If too many parcels are created, it could trigger the additional, it could, excuse me, it could trigger the need for additional infrastructure to water sanitary storm or roads.

783
02:38:56,760 --> 02:39:12,760
These recent inquiries and applications, together with the comments received during the development of the area structure plans and the limitations of servicing capacity have resulted in internal discussions on what type of infill the county can support.

784
02:39:13,760 --> 02:39:35,760
These recent, sorry, excuse me, administration proposes that minor amendments to the subdivision regulations within the R2 country estate residential district be adopted in conjunction with the proposed amendments to clarify infill subdivision policy within the Sturgeon Valley core area structure plan, which we just discussed as by loss 1610-23.

785
02:39:35,760 --> 02:39:48,760
The amendments to the subdivision regulations include clarifying that the parcel density is only to be applied to the new R2 multilots subdivisions, example of greenfield development,

786
02:39:48,760 --> 02:40:03,760
amending the infill subdivision regulations to remove reference to parcel density and instead replace it with parcel width and clarify that both the proposed lots and the remnant law must be adequately serviced.

787
02:40:03,760 --> 02:40:19,760
If implemented, the R2 country estate residential district parcels could only be subdivided if both the proposed and remnant parcels are a minimum of 0.2 hectares in size and have a minimum parcel width of 25 meters.

788
02:40:19,760 --> 02:40:36,760
A desktop analysis was undertaken to determine the infill potential of lots within the Sturgeon Valley core area structure plan using the existing criteria of a minimum parcel size of 0.2 hectares and a minimum lot width of 25 meters.

789
02:40:36,760 --> 02:40:45,760
A total of 16 R2 country residential properties were identified as having infill or lots split potential.

790
02:40:45,760 --> 02:40:56,760
Administrative administration has noted that the maximum number of additional lots identified by the desktop analysis can be serviced with existing infrastructure.

791
02:40:56,760 --> 02:41:05,760
It was also noted that limiting infill subdivisions would safeguard existing servicing without requiring any costly upgrades.

792
02:41:05,760 --> 02:41:17,760
Relevant county departments have reviewed the proposed policy and regulatory amendments and have expressed no concerns with the development potential of 16 lots within the Sturgeon Valley core.

793
02:41:17,760 --> 02:41:32,760
Administration has received confirmation from the Edmonton metropolitan region board that the infill policy does not constitute a substantive amendment and is therefore not subject to the regional evaluation framework process.

794
02:41:32,760 --> 02:41:39,760
Administration has received clarification calls from landowners but no concerns have been noted.

795
02:41:40,760 --> 02:41:56,760
Section 1.4.7 of the municipal development plan requires the county to restrict proposed development that may constrain infrastructure networks that are imperative for the growth and development associated with the strategic goals of the RARGS.

796
02:41:56,760 --> 02:42:06,760
As part of the application process, Sirgeon County may require an application to demonstrate that no adverse impact will occur due to the proposed development.

797
02:42:06,760 --> 02:42:17,760
Policy 2.2.3 of the MDP discourages the use of panhandles to provide residential subdivisions of legal and physical access to a municipal roadway.

798
02:42:17,760 --> 02:42:37,760
And finally 12.2.3 of the land use by law are two country estate residential district states that further subdivision of existing parcels for the proposed parcel does not meet the minimum parcel area and or the prescribed parcel density shall be subject to the recommendations of an approved local planning document.

799
02:42:37,760 --> 02:42:42,760
This concludes my presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions.

800
02:42:42,760 --> 02:42:50,760
Thank you. Any questions of council to administration.

801
02:42:50,760 --> 02:42:52,760
Go ahead. Council.

802
02:42:52,760 --> 02:43:05,760
Thanks to chair. So I noticed on the map you had to saw the visions noted by Casa Vista. This has nothing to do with them. There's just for reference.

803
02:43:05,760 --> 02:43:21,760
Yes, through the chair to Councillor Barry. So I wanted to make reference to the lands outside of Casa Vista and Northern Lights because these changes would be made to all are two parcels within the county. I know we're focusing a lot of our.

804
02:43:21,760 --> 02:43:35,760
Discussion around the search and valley core, but it would also affect those parcels, but again the area around Casa Vista will require an outline plan in an in a proof or in prior to approval excuse me.

805
02:43:35,760 --> 02:43:41,760
So yes, it wouldn't it wouldn't apply to those lands surrounding.

806
02:43:42,760 --> 02:43:56,760
But it would once there was an outline plan because that's my question to we know there are 16 sites in the valley, but our two has broader implications to other spaces that don't have plans and we'd have to.

807
02:43:56,760 --> 02:44:05,760
So I'd like to know a little bit more about that as well, what it means to those other locations and when those decisions would happen.

808
02:44:05,760 --> 02:44:14,760
Yes, in response, Madam Mayor, so initially you would need to have an outline plan for those subdivisions and as the outline plan would then.

809
02:44:15,760 --> 02:44:20,760
Sort of in a general way allocate roads, ways where.

810
02:44:20,760 --> 02:44:29,760
You know, park spaces trails, those types of things would happen and then subdivision would come forward and at the subdivision stage.

811
02:44:29,760 --> 02:44:32,760
The lands would be redistricted.

812
02:44:33,760 --> 02:44:42,760
But they probably were redistricted after the outline plan stage, right, so that would be when and they're already districted are two, so there may be some changes as a result of the outline plan.

813
02:44:42,760 --> 02:44:48,760
They may want to change the zoning on some of the lands because it's the blanket entire area.

814
02:44:48,760 --> 02:44:59,760
We may want to change some to open spaces or PULs or those types of things to facilitate the development of that area and then the subdivision would come in.

815
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:13,000
And these criteria with regards to our to subdivision criteria would then apply to those lands, but it would be after all of that process was in place.

816
02:45:13,000 --> 02:45:29,000
So, because the focus has been on the valley, so do we have to have the same densities in those other, because they're in surgeon counties, which is under the MRB,

817
02:45:29,000 --> 02:45:38,000
would we have to meet the same densities in those outline plans in those other outline areas?

818
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:44,000
I don't believe so. I think we can get some clarity on that. Those lands are already zoned, R2.

819
02:45:44,000 --> 02:45:51,000
So when the MRB undertook its plan, it would have been aware that those lands already had a density factor attached to them.

820
02:45:51,000 --> 02:46:07,000
I mean, I can clarify that my understanding would be that that would be consistent with the MRB, because those lands would have been identified as already being zoned for country for large estate residential.

821
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:08,000
Thank you.

822
02:46:08,000 --> 02:46:09,000
Go ahead, Councillor Comum.

823
02:46:09,000 --> 02:46:20,000
Just curious on both of those subdivisions, do we have a ballpark? Like we know there's 16 within the valley. Do we know how many in-cassivists and how many in Northern Lights there could be?

824
02:46:20,000 --> 02:46:33,000
We don't have a subdivision plan yet. So we have no idea how many lots there are creating, but when they create those lots, we would hope that, you know, we don't want them to do panels, right?

825
02:46:33,000 --> 02:46:43,000
So these criteria would then be in play, right, as terms of that sort of stuff. So yeah, we don't know yet.

826
02:46:43,000 --> 02:46:46,000
Okay. Thank you.

827
02:46:46,000 --> 02:46:49,000
Oh, sorry. Go ahead, Councillor Klein.

828
02:46:49,000 --> 02:46:53,000
Through you, Madam Mayor, a lot of those same questions I had.

829
02:46:53,000 --> 02:46:58,000
Is there an outline plan then for Northern Lights to the in-existing work?

830
02:46:58,000 --> 02:47:08,000
We have an area structure plan for Northern Lights. Yes, they don't, we don't have a detailed subdivision layout for some of the remaining lands within Northern Lights.

831
02:47:08,000 --> 02:47:22,000
Again, we don't know what the actual physical lot layout is for Northern Lights at this time. We do have, there is, there is some preliminary planning that has been done. Yes.

832
02:47:22,000 --> 02:47:31,000
And if I may just further on Northern Lights as well as one of the key components of this proposed policy is that we connect to municipal servicing.

833
02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:41,000
We do acknowledge that we have some issues in Northern Lights with regards to servicing. So until those are fully proved the in-filled policy does not apply in that area.

834
02:47:41,000 --> 02:47:52,000
So not only are you having to meet the land use by lower requirements for minimum size and access via local roadway, but you also have that piece of key municipal servicing.

835
02:47:52,000 --> 02:47:59,000
So because we have those issues in Northern Lights as states that this in-filled policy will not apply to them until that's rectified.

836
02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:13,000
Seeing no further questions. So I do have the name of registered speakers who counsel will now hear from.

837
02:48:13,000 --> 02:48:30,000
So when I call your name, please step up to the podium, advise who you are and how you are affected by the proposed by law and please advise if you are in favor or against the by law and provide any other information that you would like to bring to Council's attention.

838
02:48:30,000 --> 02:48:39,000
You will have five minutes, some less Councillor Grease to allow more time and your comments must be specifically related to this particular by law.

839
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:44,000
Members of Council may now or will have may have questions for you once you finish your comments.

840
02:48:44,000 --> 02:48:57,000
I will now ask Bev Golan to provide her comments. Thank you and apologies if I have not pronounced your last name correctly.

841
02:48:58,000 --> 02:49:05,000
Okay. Hello everyone. My name is Bev Golan and I am a resident of St. County.

842
02:49:05,000 --> 02:49:19,000
I come here with great concerns regarding the changes being made to what I believe is our little heaven here on earth with rolling hills farmers fields full of amazing animals.

843
02:49:19,000 --> 02:49:25,000
For the life of me, I cannot understand the changes being brought for us to our county.

844
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:31,000
First of all, I would like to know why there needs to be any changes to the acreages.

845
02:49:31,000 --> 02:49:37,000
Living in wide open spaces, why would there be any need to subdivide any of these lots?

846
02:49:37,000 --> 02:49:49,000
In addition to this down the line, is there a catch that would allow municipal or even provincial governments to further divide the acreages without our approval?

847
02:49:49,000 --> 02:49:54,000
You may laugh at such a question and say that it would never happen.

848
02:49:54,000 --> 02:50:03,000
But I understand that the county is a member of the Alberta Smart City Alliance, which has ties to the W.E.F.

849
02:50:03,000 --> 02:50:16,000
and clash swab and unelected professor and anyone truly awake not woke but truly awake knows the direction that this maniac is leading the world into.

850
02:50:16,000 --> 02:50:23,000
We know how the Sturgeon County municipal government works just like all of the other government bodies.

851
02:50:23,000 --> 02:50:31,000
As peasants are promised to fair chance to speak our minds in matters that affect us directly.

852
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:43,000
The facts are lands, our roads and our environment, but regardless of what the people in Sturgeon County wishes this council just votes for whatever is that the higher official tells them to do.

853
02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:50,000
Don't believe what I'm saying? Well, why would Sturgeon County need to make any changes to our acreages?

854
02:50:50,000 --> 02:50:56,000
Why would Sturgeon County be a verified member of the Alberta Smart City Alliance?

855
02:50:56,000 --> 02:51:03,000
Why can't Sturgeon County just let us live in peas without the ridiculous government interference?

856
02:51:03,000 --> 02:51:10,000
If you question this, just ask yourself about Prairie Gardens and how free you think you truly are.

857
02:51:10,000 --> 02:51:21,000
Why is the member of your planning department says that planning of Sturgeon County land is already done even though they don't have the land that they planned for?

858
02:51:21,000 --> 02:51:30,000
When the government is scared of the people, that is democracy, but when the people are scared of the government, that is tyranny.

859
02:51:30,000 --> 02:51:46,000
When we see the ridiculous changes being made in each municipality, each city, each province, and each country, it is not difficult to see that we are not living in a democracy.

860
02:51:46,000 --> 02:51:52,000
So my question, what is the purpose of subdividing any more land?

861
02:51:52,000 --> 02:52:04,000
What prevents the government from coming in and enforcing it in the future? Thank you.

862
02:52:04,000 --> 02:52:06,000
Thank you, Ms. Golan.

863
02:52:06,000 --> 02:52:15,000
I will now actually so are there any questions of Council to Ms. Golan if you could please come back to podium?

864
02:52:15,000 --> 02:52:18,000
Go ahead, Council Como.

865
02:52:18,000 --> 02:52:21,000
Just curious, Ms. Golan, do you live in the valley?

866
02:52:21,000 --> 02:52:25,000
Okay, thank you.

867
02:52:25,000 --> 02:52:35,000
And if I may, Ms. Golan, I'll go to you. I'll go, I'll hold my questions, go to you first to Council McLeanon.

868
02:52:35,000 --> 02:52:39,000
Thank you, through Madam Mayor, I was going to let you go first, but that's appreciated.

869
02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:51,000
I was just wondering, is your biggest concern with regard to the valley and to regard to this, that you just don't want to see more people like you don't want to see those views?

870
02:52:51,000 --> 02:52:54,000
That's great. I like it left the way it is.

871
02:52:54,000 --> 02:52:57,000
Thank you.

872
02:52:57,000 --> 02:53:05,000
I'm just wondering where you got your information from as far as urging County being a member of a smart city alliance.

873
02:53:05,000 --> 02:53:14,000
It was through the internet. My daughter does a lot of research and stuff like that, so.

874
02:53:14,000 --> 02:53:23,000
Well, I'm unaware as our administration, so I would, I would be interested to know where that information lies because it appears to be incorrect.

875
02:53:23,000 --> 02:53:24,000
Okay.

876
02:53:24,000 --> 02:53:28,000
So I just wanted to make that clarification.

877
02:53:28,000 --> 02:53:36,000
And also have you had any contact with any of your neighbors as you know there's 16.

878
02:53:36,000 --> 02:53:39,000
No, potential. Okay.

879
02:53:39,000 --> 02:53:40,000
Thank you.

880
02:53:40,000 --> 02:53:43,000
Oh, sorry, Councillor Stank, go ahead.

881
02:53:43,000 --> 02:53:51,000
Sorry, one question for you. I appreciate you bringing your points forward. I just want to make.

882
02:53:51,000 --> 02:53:59,000
I guess it's not necessarily a question more of a statement, but typically subdivision is applications come from the resident.

883
02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:02,000
It's not something that the county initiates by any stretch.

884
02:54:02,000 --> 02:54:07,000
So any of those opportunities would be resident driven, not necessarily county driven.

885
02:54:07,000 --> 02:54:11,000
We're just creating an opportunity for that to happen.

886
02:54:11,000 --> 02:54:15,000
So I guess it wasn't just more of a statement than the natural question.

887
02:54:15,000 --> 02:54:19,000
I'll also be county driven as well, right? Like if you need.

888
02:54:19,000 --> 02:54:20,000
No?

889
02:54:20,000 --> 02:54:23,000
Okay.

890
02:54:23,000 --> 02:54:27,000
But thank you for taking time out of your day to share your reviews.

891
02:54:27,000 --> 02:54:41,000
I would now ask Nicole Peterson to provide comments.

892
02:54:41,000 --> 02:54:49,000
Hello, everyone. I have come today. I, my name is Nicole Patterson, and I live in the surgeon county as well.

893
02:54:49,000 --> 02:54:54,000
And I very much support and back up with the previous speaker in the talking boat.

894
02:54:54,000 --> 02:54:58,000
I also have big concerns about the smart city allowance, lions with surgeon county.

895
02:54:58,000 --> 02:55:06,000
And how that's going to affect all residents here in the county and within St. Albert and all of the area.

896
02:55:06,000 --> 02:55:15,000
But I do think it is a lot of government over reach and I think it is something to be concerned that we're being divided into different divisions and districts.

897
02:55:15,000 --> 02:55:22,000
And I just wanted to really share that it is concerned that our rights are continuing to be taken away from us.

898
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:29,000
And with the segregation and isolating and dividing, I think it's something serious and it's to be looked at.

899
02:55:29,000 --> 02:55:34,000
I had some more questions that I heard today that surgeon county isn't part of that alliance.

900
02:55:34,000 --> 02:55:41,000
But if you go on the Canadian government website, you'll see that Emminton and St. Albert are part of that plan.

901
02:55:41,000 --> 02:55:46,000
So I'm just curious how this entire council could be unaware of that.

902
02:55:46,000 --> 02:55:51,000
I didn't say that I was unaware of surgeon county is not a member.

903
02:55:51,000 --> 02:55:57,000
And county is a separate municipality in the city of Edmonton or city of St. Albert.

904
02:55:57,000 --> 02:56:02,000
But it is the surgeon county. It is this whole surrounding area.

905
02:56:02,000 --> 02:56:08,000
No, there are different corporations, different organizations, different municipalities.

906
02:56:08,000 --> 02:56:10,000
Okay.

907
02:56:10,000 --> 02:56:14,000
So it sounds like both of us believe that it is part of that.

908
02:56:14,000 --> 02:56:20,000
And by separating the land use, it does seem to fall in line with that agenda.

909
02:56:20,000 --> 02:56:24,000
But that's basically my concern. And I think it is impacting people.

910
02:56:24,000 --> 02:56:30,000
And I think as we heard today, people are impacted by that live in this general area.

911
02:56:30,000 --> 02:56:33,000
So are you in favor of this bylaw?

912
02:56:33,000 --> 02:56:34,000
No, I'm opposed to it.

913
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:43,000
Even though it's driven by individuals who want to be able to subdivide their land, it's resident driven.

914
02:56:43,000 --> 02:56:48,000
Well, I'm not getting the driving land and dividing people is ever the answer.

915
02:56:48,000 --> 02:56:51,000
So no, I am opposed by it.

916
02:56:51,000 --> 02:56:53,000
Okay.

917
02:56:53,000 --> 02:56:57,000
I'm going to refrain from debate because that's not what we're here to do, but you have a question.

918
02:56:57,000 --> 02:56:58,000
Go ahead.

919
02:56:58,000 --> 02:57:06,000
So would you have us ban people from applying to subdivide their own private property then?

920
02:57:06,000 --> 02:57:10,000
I think if someone wants to divide their own public property, that's different.

921
02:57:10,000 --> 02:57:17,000
But if it impacts others, then it should be taken to account.

922
02:57:17,000 --> 02:57:20,000
Then we agree on that because that's what this actually is.

923
02:57:20,000 --> 02:57:21,000
Okay.

924
02:57:21,000 --> 02:57:22,000
Thank you.

925
02:57:22,000 --> 02:57:23,000
That was everything.

926
02:57:23,000 --> 02:57:25,000
Is there any other questions?

927
02:57:25,000 --> 02:57:26,000
No.

928
02:57:32,000 --> 02:57:38,000
Do we have any newly registered speakers?

929
02:57:39,000 --> 02:57:41,000
I think you met a mirror.

930
02:57:41,000 --> 02:57:49,000
We don't have anybody else registered to speak, but I do note that a number of attendees indicated that they'd be listening to the presentation.

931
02:57:49,000 --> 02:57:56,000
So maybe an opportunity to ask anybody who may have changed their mind after listening to the information from administration.

932
02:57:56,000 --> 02:57:57,000
Thank you.

933
02:57:57,000 --> 02:57:59,000
Offering them to register to speak now.

934
02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:00,000
Yes.

935
02:58:00,000 --> 02:58:07,000
So if there is anyone in the gallery that would like to speak to this particular bylaw, please do give your name to administration.

936
02:58:07,000 --> 02:58:11,000
And you can approach the podium.

937
02:58:11,000 --> 02:58:14,000
I am seeing none.

938
02:58:14,000 --> 02:58:15,000
Okay.

939
02:58:15,000 --> 02:58:23,000
Could the legislative officer read into the record any written submissions that were received after the publication of the council meeting agenda package?

940
02:58:23,000 --> 02:58:24,000
Thank you.

941
02:58:24,000 --> 02:58:25,000
Thank you.

942
02:58:25,000 --> 02:58:28,000
Madam Mayor, I can confirm we have received no written submissions.

943
02:58:28,000 --> 02:58:30,000
Thank you.

944
02:58:30,000 --> 02:58:36,000
Do members of council have any further questions?

945
02:58:36,000 --> 02:58:49,000
Does administration have any comments that on the information provided by the registered speakers?

946
02:58:49,000 --> 02:58:51,000
No comment.

947
02:58:51,000 --> 02:58:52,000
Thank you.

948
02:58:52,000 --> 02:58:58,000
Once the public hearing is closed, council is unable to receive any further written or verbal submissions.

949
02:58:58,000 --> 02:59:05,000
So is council satisfied that the information received enables us to make a decision on this matter?

950
02:59:06,000 --> 02:59:07,000
Okay.

951
02:59:07,000 --> 02:59:13,000
Then with that, I will recess the public hearing.

952
02:59:13,000 --> 02:59:15,000
I'm sorry.

953
02:59:15,000 --> 02:59:16,000
I'm sorry.

954
02:59:16,000 --> 02:59:17,000
I'm sorry.

955
02:59:17,000 --> 02:59:21,000
Not recess, but adjourn the public hearing at 227.

956
02:59:21,000 --> 02:59:25,000
So thank you for those who have attended today.

957
02:59:25,000 --> 02:59:28,000
And we'll now move on to the next agenda item.

958
02:59:28,000 --> 02:59:41,000
Which I think is recess.

959
02:59:41,000 --> 02:59:42,000
We have one left.

960
02:59:42,000 --> 02:59:43,000
Yeah.

961
02:59:43,000 --> 02:59:44,000
6.5.

962
02:59:44,000 --> 02:59:50,000
We're going to find my.

963
02:59:50,000 --> 02:59:51,000
There we go.

964
02:59:51,000 --> 02:59:52,000
Yes.

965
02:59:52,000 --> 02:59:53,000
6.5.

966
02:59:53,000 --> 02:59:54,000
Next item on the agenda.

967
02:59:54,000 --> 02:59:56,000
Chris Wells.

968
02:59:56,000 --> 02:59:58,000
Whenever you're ready.

969
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:25,000
Hello, Madam Mayor and Council. For the record, I am Christine Wells, Director of Community Services, and I'm here today to seek Council approval for the Sturgeon County RCMP priorities for the Mornville and Redwater Detachments for 2023-2024.

970
03:00:25,000 --> 03:00:52,000
At the February 23rd, 2023 Governance in Council Services Committee meeting, the committee recommended crime reduction, community engagement and public safety, as Sturgeon County's 2023-2024 priorities for the Mornville and Redwater Detachments, following the quarterly update presentations from Mornville and Redwater Detachment commanders that were earlier today.

971
03:00:52,000 --> 03:01:12,000
At the committee of the whole meeting and in accordance with the governance and Council Services Committee recommendation, administration recommends that Council approve these RCMP priorities and upon that, authorized the Mayor to send a letter to respective detachment commanders, advising them of the same.

972
03:01:12,000 --> 03:01:24,000
Thank you, Ms. Wells. Are there any questions of Council to administration on this?

973
03:01:24,000 --> 03:01:30,000
If I could have a move for the motion, please. So go ahead, Councillor Stain.

974
03:01:30,000 --> 03:01:41,000
Thank you through the chair that the Council approve crime reduction, community engagement and public safety as Sturgeon County's 2023-2024 priorities for the Mornville and Redwater Detachments, and if I can speak to this,

975
03:01:41,000 --> 03:01:56,000
I'd like to commend Director Wells on getting both detachments presented front and center earlier today, and I definitely appreciated the information that was provided, and I look forward to the ongoing engagement throughout the year.

976
03:01:56,000 --> 03:02:01,000
So thank you so much, Director Wells.

977
03:02:01,000 --> 03:02:06,000
Okay, seeing no further debate, I'll call the question, those in favor.

978
03:02:06,000 --> 03:02:10,000
And that motion is carried. Thank you very much.

979
03:02:12,000 --> 03:02:21,000
And I believe that concludes business for the day if I could have a motion to adjourn, please.

980
03:02:21,000 --> 03:02:26,000
Councillor Barry, thank you. I'll call the question, those in favor.

981
03:02:26,000 --> 03:02:30,000
And that motion is carried, meeting adjourned.

982
03:02:41,000 --> 03:02:43,000
Thank you.

983
03:03:11,000 --> 03:03:13,000
Thank you.

984
03:03:41,000 --> 03:03:43,000
Thank you.

985
03:04:11,000 --> 03:04:13,000
Thank you.

986
03:04:41,000 --> 03:04:43,000
Thank you.

987
03:05:11,000 --> 03:05:12,000
Thank you.

988
03:05:41,000 --> 03:05:43,000
Thank you.
