Amalgamation of housing authorities considered Cont’d from Pg 1 The policy establishes who the official spokesperson is, what should be said and what shouldn’t be said, stated Kulyk, so the press would know who they should speak to if they want more information. Hiring policy Recruitment, Selection and Hiring Policy was passed unanimously to provide council and staff direction for the recruitment and hiring of employees for the town. The policy sets out who does the hiring, when the hiring needs to go up a level due to conflict of interest as well as guidelines for advertising, short-listing, interviewing, candidate selection and offers of employment. The policy provides structure and direction and who does the hiring. “If there is a problem, then there is accountability,” said CAO Kulyk. For example, the policy states that senior managers under the direction of the CAO are responsible for hiring the part time and temporary staff, however, if there is a conflict of interest, then the hiring moves up a level to the CAO. “I think that is totally fair,” said Coun. Liz Adams. The council is only responsible for hiring the CAO. Recreation facility rental Inequities were discussed in the rental costs of the bowling alley, onehour rentals of $50 versus renting the bowling alley for $180. Council approved the amended rental policy to a two hour minimun rental of the bowling alley. Regarding the Curling Rink rentals during the summer season when the town takes over, it was decided that rental of the entire facility should be $300, down from $350; the downstairs and ice area only $200; and the upstairs $150. The Lions Rec Centre hall rentals has two rental options, one with cleaning included and one where the renter is to clean the facility at the conclusion of the event. Broadband preparedness Council reviewed the presentation from the Regional Broadband Preparedness meeting Feb. 15 in Coronation. The intent is to provide a common understanding of broadband at both the regional and municipal level, identify where each community is at relating to broadband, provide an understading of the potential options available and to see which approach might best meet Coronation’s needs. A strategy will be developed with which the municipalites or the region can move foreward as a whole. Four options presented including maintaining status quo, incremential implemention by looking at fibre network requirements in planning/development processes, and develop a Broadband Service Strategic Plan; negotiate for broadband services from current provideers (Shaw, Telus, Axia, CCI, etc.) or develop a utility communiyt-owned fibre network either individually or regionally. The report went on to say “Unfortunately because Coronation is too small to run a sustainable operation, the assumed cost structure would run an ongoing deficit. To be sustainable, Coronation would have to reduce costs of putting in the fibre optics, obtain grant funding or utilize a tax levy and/or reduce operational costs by partnering with other communicities or outsourcing operations. Telus is provided fibre to the curb in Drumheller, Stettler and Wainwright said CAO Kulyk, adding it is estmiated at $2,000 per household or $5,000 if they go underground. The report noted the success of a fibre network in Olds, Ab. however, Kulyk noted, “we’re not in the [Hwy 2] corridor.” Council accepted the study for information only. Amalgamation of housing authorities “Before people drive from the city for a meeting” on the amalgamation of these two boards (Castor & District Housing Authority and Coronation & District Housing Authority, council would like to see motions from the other two muncipalities. So far it is not known if Halkirk and Castor have made resolutions to look at amalgamation.

This trip involved the “least amount of organizing” because everything they needed was taken care of.

CAO Jenkins, during council’s regular meeting March 2, read an email correspondence from a Municipal Affairs representative stating that Municipal Affairs has not appointed an investigator to investigate a petition by a group of Alix residents. The email read: “Once the minister appoints an inspector, written notification will be provided to both the village and the petition representative. Subsequently, the inspectors will make residents aware of how they can be contacted to schedule interviews.” The email from Municipal Affairs to the Village of Alix, dated Feb. 27, also stated that: “Municipal Affairs has no jurisdiction over a resident’s Facebook page or content.
