Rochon Sands Estates Road<br />
patching concerns addressed<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
The County has received numerous<br />
concerns in recent years over the condition<br />
of the cold mix placed on the<br />
roads in the Rochon Sands Estates subdivision<br />
in 2012.<br />
After discussion at the regular<br />
council meeting on Wed. July 10, the<br />
county authorized public works to lift,<br />
apply a light oil, re-spread and compact<br />
the existing material throughout the<br />
subdivision to help alleviate issues.<br />
The recommended plan consists of<br />
lifting the existing surface course,<br />
drying and stabilizing the subgrade as<br />
required, richen the existing mix with<br />
DL-10 Special light oil, then place and<br />
compact the material.<br />
The County provided the cold mix<br />
application under a 50 per cent costshare<br />
agreement with landowners in<br />
the subdivision.<br />
The application consisted of the<br />

required surface gravel, and the contractor<br />
mixing in place oil with the<br />
gravel, then placing and compacting<br />
it.<br />
Pre-mixed cold mix was imported<br />
for radiuses and cul-de-sacs and<br />
grader lay hot mix and compact at the<br />
intersection of Highway 835.<br />
This type of treatment had a three<br />
to five year lifespan depending on<br />
traffic and loadings.<br />
County maintenance has been<br />
patching areas annually for a few<br />
years now with asphalt, and they felt<br />
that a broader approach was required<br />
to effectively maintain the subdivision<br />
roads safely.<br />
“The slopes are too steep to hold the<br />
way they have been doing it,” said<br />
Rick Green, director of engineering<br />
and public works.<br />
“It’s much more cost effective than<br />
pothole patching which is onerous on<br />
staff and time and money.”<br />

Byemoor pipe replacement<br />
A leaky 80-year-old pipe in Byemoor<br />
will soon be replaced after County of<br />
Stettler council awarded the contract<br />
to Action Plumbing.<br />
The replacement is expected to cost<br />
$44,000 with funding coming from<br />
reserves.<br />
Three companies were contacted<br />
and instructed to provide a quote to<br />
replace the existing two inch line and<br />
upgrade it to a three inch line,<br />
including approximately 930 feet of<br />
line, open cut, “2 - 3” valves, one flush<br />
hydrant, and a tie on to four existing<br />
services.<br />
The pipe has been patched several<br />
times in the past.<br />
County Shop solar proposals<br />
Council made a motion to look at<br />
options to outfit the county shop with<br />
grid connected solar.<br />
At the time of the motion last year,<br />
market conditions were not favourable<br />
and the technology was still in its<br />
infancy.<br />
Money has been added to a new<br />
grant program by <strong>25</strong> per cent.<br />
The county put out a request for<br />
prices. Five companies came forward.<br />
Administration was solely seeking<br />
permission to bring the proposals forward<br />
at this time.<br />

to be a valuable resource when staying<br />
informed on local politics.<br />
Over 200 responses from a cross section<br />
of citizens were taken into<br />
account.<br />
The policy committee reviewed the<br />
current policy on June <strong>25</strong>.<br />
At the table, there was discussion<br />
around whether or not there was a possibility<br />
to record the meetings and<br />
publish them afterwards by not having<br />
a live broadcast.<br />
Concerns were raised about the perceptions<br />
around editing, and whose<br />
responsibility it would be to both edit<br />
and use discretion as to what would be<br />
edited out.<br />
There would have to be a significant<br />
investment of staff time to go with this<br />
option.<br />
A discussion was also held around<br />
expanding the scope of the live meetings<br />
to automatically include<br />
committee meetings and public hearings<br />
– like the Municipal Planning<br />
Commission, Agricultural Service<br />
Board and other public hearings.<br />
Council chose to make no changes<br />
after finding the answer to be “loud<br />
and clear that people enjoy watching<br />
us discuss points of government in the<br />
County of Stettler.”<br />
