The Public Hearing was called to order by Reeve, Steve Upham on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 1:14 p.m. at the County Office in St. Paul to discuss Bylaw No. 1564.

 

The following Council members were present:  Reeve S. Upham, Councillor G. Ockerman, Councillor D. Dach, Deputy Reeve C. Martin, Councillor M. Fodness, Councillor F. Sloan and Councillor A. Corbiere.

 

Krystle Fodoretz, Planning and Development Officer, informed Council that the purpose of Bylaw No. 1564 is to authorize a lease for Lot 28ER, Block 2, Plan 8023220.

 

Randy Scott, nephew of the current lessee, requested clarification on the bylaw as it pertains to motorized vehicles, as the Scott family currently parks RVs on the property.  Mr. Scott then informed Council that the only thing they have done on the property is cut the grass.

 

Krystle Fedoretz read a letter from Janet and Gordon Scott, Lessees, speaking in favor of the Bylaw.  Mr. and Mrs. Scott are requesting that Council allow them to continue using the property as they have in the past and continue to park their RV on the property.   Mr. & Mrs. Scott's letter is attached to and forms part of these minutes.

 

Jack Dickson spoke on behalf of the Ashmont Beach Co. Ltd, who was the owner of the property in question in 1959.  Mr. Dickson stated that he has no objection to Gordon Scott leasing the property, but he is opposed to allowing the property to be used for anything other than what an Environmental Reserve is intended for.  Mr. Dickson's presentation is attached to and forms part of these minutes.

 

Tammi Boggis, adjacent landowner, spoke against the proposed Bylaw and requested clarification on who will carry the liability insurance on the property if the Scott family continues to lease it.  Mrs. Boggis informed Council that she purchased her property because it was adjacent to an Environmental Reserve which is intended to remain in its natural state.

 

Susan Clennell read a letter in opposition to the Bylaw authorizing Mr. & Mrs. Scott to lease the Environmental Reserve.  Mrs. Clennell stated that leasing the environmental reserve will set a precedent for other environmental reserve properties within the County.  Mrs. Clennell feels that it should be left in the state that it was intended for.  Ms. Clennell's submission is attached to and forms part of these minutes.

 

Leo Matthieson spoke against Bylaw No. 1564, which would authorize a lease for the property in question.  He requested why and when the environmental reserve property became available to lease.  He feels that if Council agrees to lease this property to the Scotts, it could open the door for a number of other situations throughout the County.  Mr. Matthiessen would like to see more information about the environmental reserves, their purpose and what activity is allowed on them.  Mr. Matthiessen's letter is attached to and forms part of these minutes.

Councillor F. Sloan left the meeting at 2:16 p.m.

Attachment - Presentation by Rob Tomlinson

Attached is the letter read aloud to Council by Mr. Tomlinson: (See resolution CM20110308.1009) 

Introduction:

These are Items I feel Council must  be aware of and,

I believe once Council is aware of the legitimate issues they will make the necessary adjustments.  Topics of grave concern are.                                                                             

• Destruction of documents
• Retirement of Mr. Bergheim
• Burning permits
• Unanswered concerns
• Level 4 transfer stations
• Bin sites    Notification
• Foisy  Community Waste Facility

The legitimate concerns I will be raising all have paper work if,  Council feels they need to review, In saying that the information is all within the County system. 

•  Destruction of documents,

I spoke with Councilor Fodness in regards to this problem. I expressed my concerns and wanted a brief explanation as to how this came to be. I also requested Administration staff for their explanation and if they could restore the file. To date no reply.  Why? 

• Retirement of Mr. Bergheim; his retirement in August for one day as a County employee was for what reason? I do understand he was re-appointed at his current position. The motion states position/one. Since his retirement he has acquired these positions;
 
• Director of Environmental and Emergency Services
 
• Planning and  Development manager.
 
• Subdivision Authority:   As planning and development manager that makes him, his own boss.  How does that make him accountable?
 
• Director of Agriculture.
 
• Agriculture Fieldman:   This again makes him his own boss.  Another part of this concern how did Mr. Bergheim become Agi Fieldman, he retired !
 
• Weed inspector   With this appointed position by Council comes countless hours in the fields inspecting weeds.  Generally this position is filled with a summer student.  Council appointed Mr. Bergheim as weed inspector, my question to Council is the Director of Agriculture going to ask the Agi. Fieldman to hire someone to be weed inspector? This is an appointed position by Council to Mr. Bergheim,and one would think he would fulfill his obligations.
 
• Pest Control Officer;  again comes with countless hours in the field, a concern I have is with beaver and beaver dam control. Is the pest control officer  trained with explosives. Did council appoint someone qualified and is the task performed by the pest control officer?  With that said, how are the explosives stored?
 
• Technical Advisor for both the Town of Elk Point protection committee and Area Fire Protection Management Committee:
 
• Economic Development Planing Manager:  I can only imagine what that means., Could Mr Bergheim be the one Council and the CAO turns to for economic advise.
 
• Evergreen Regional Landfill Manager; Which includes all Classes of landfills, compost facilities and transfer station within both the County of Smoky Lake ,it's Villages,Town of Smoky Lake, Town of St.Paul, the County of St Paul and it's Villages.  
 
• County Waste Authority of the past/ present.
 
• Fire Guardian
•  
• A current concern is the ad in the news paper for burning at local transfer stations/regional landfill under the care of both the Landfill Manager and the Fire Guardian. Did the Landfill Manager ask the Fire Guardian for the burning permit? The ad concerns me in many ways first the Standards for Landfills in Alberta 4.7 (b)  At least 7 days prior to  the date of burning the person responsible for the landfill shall notify all of the following: (i) the local authorities;  (ii) all adjacent land owners;and (iii) the local department. Mr. Bergheim aught to be aware of the Landfill Standards, he should also be aware of what's required as fire guardian. The key concern is this a conflict of interest?  I do not believe it is right to have a burning notice in the local paper that's for yearly coverage.It would be nice to have comfort in asking the County's Director of Environmental Services point of view in this case.Council should conciliate with this person for clarification.
 
•  The land location for the regional landfill is incorrect in the news paper as well. County residences are aware of the importance of there legal land location. That was made very clear by County Staff with the Elective Reeve petition. It was important for the petition and should be as important for the County Fire Guardian to get it right.
 
• With Mr. Bergheim's retirement it's not hard to see an issue or two. How did Council come to agree to Mr. Bergheims current positions.
 
• With all that has been said there are still outstanding concerns.  At an Oct. Council meeting the concerns of the local Community Waste Facility is still out standing, the item of concern is 5 (e) of that meeting. The community waste facilities have no notifications filed with AENV which has been identified by AENV as a requirement. This has been a hard fought battle for myself for no reason,  at the end of the day AENV has stated to both Ms. Kitz and myself on  October 29, 2010 what's required and when.  The e-mail states - As a general policy ,only sites which have been issued a Development Permit requires a notification filed with Alberta Environment. On Dec. 23  AENV clarified the Notification requirements once again and this was also sent to Ms. kitz. Again this concern remains outstanding,  Development permits have been issued for this sites. So why is their no Notification?
 
• Level 4 Transfer station.  An agreement the Minister of Environment and Evergreen that grant funds obtain were to construct Level 4 transfer stations. Have the Level 4 transfer stations been constructed and where?  It is also known the bids for the transfer stations came in as what was described as project over cost, so the County constructed the transfer station for a said cost of 330,000 reported by Mr. Bergheim at a Lac La Biche meeting last week. My question is, what was the value of those bids and can Council provide them?
 
• A concern I have with future cost of waste disposal for the County. When will it be to costly for us to haul to Evergreen?  The cost should be assessed in dollars and cents and environmental cost as well. I fell strongly the Annual Reports must be understood by Council and I would like council to commit to this request.
