Stettler county is moving
ahead with cleaning up an
unsightly premises in one of its
hamlets after a motion was
passed at the regular meeting of
council Mar. 11.
Peace officer Lee Hardman
requested in an agenda memo,
“Protective Services requests
authorization to proceed with a
Court of Queen’s Bench Order
for the cleanup of the nuisance/
unsightly property located at
#33 Main Street, Red Willow
[Alta.]” which councillors
passed after a vote.
Hardman told councillors the
county received five complaints
from the public in 2019 about
the property in question, and he
noted materials from the property
had begun to migrate onto
public property.
“We’re ready to seek a court
order to have this property
cleaned up,” said Hardman.
The agenda memo contained
a number of photos of the property
for councillors to examine,
some of which are included in
this article.
Hardman’s memo to councillors
noted, “On October 15, 2018
a complaint in relation to an
unsightly property located at
#33 Main Street, Red Willow
was filed with Protective
Services.
“Upon site inspection it was
observed that an accumulation
of materials, vehicles and
equipment on the property.
Materials also present that
encroach into the county road
allowance behind the
property.
Property owners have been
spoken too in relation to the
condition of the property.
“A remedial order was sent
on Oct. 18, 2018. On Nov. 3,
2018 a subsequent inspection
was conducted of the property
finding no change. On Nov. 25,
2018 a Municipal Government
Act Order under Section 546
of the Municipal Government
Act was sent to the property

owner along with it being personally
served.
“On Jan. 27, 2020 a follow-up
inspection was conducted of the
property.
The property owner was
present for the inspection with
no change in relation to the
unsightly nature of the
property.
“A Second Municipal
Government Act Order was
personally served to the property
owner to bring the
property into compliance.
On Feb. 28, 2020 a follow-up
inspection was conducted.
Property was still in an
unsightly condition with additional
materials now on the
property.
“Protective Services has
attempted to work with the
property owner to bring the
property into compliance.
However, all means have now
been exhausted with little to no
action from the owner.”
“I think it’s time it was
cleaned up,” said Grover.
One council meeting a month

ECA Review
The Town of Bashaw will cut from
two council meetings a month down to
one due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision was made at the Mar.
19 regular meeting of council.
Town CAO Theresa Fuller brought
to council an agenda item involving
regularly scheduled meetings of town
council.
Currently, council meets the first
and third Thursdays of the month.
Coun. Rosella Peterman felt it was a
good idea, and a special council
meeting could always be called if
needed.
Councillors unanimously decided
to go to one meeting a month for now
and hold their next council meeting
Apr. 2.
Coronavirus
CAO Fuller and Director of
Operations Murray Holroyd gave
updates on what the town was doing to
prepare for the coronavirus pandemic.
Holroyd said the town has met with
stakeholders and reviewed the provincial
government’s announcements and
decisions. He noted the town has been
asked to follow Alberta Health’s lead
on this issue.
In addition, the town is tracking its
expenses on the measures.
Emergency management
Coincidentally, the council also had
their updated Emergency
Management Bylaw to read.
Fuller presented a report to council
on the matter.
The bylaw now names council as the
emergency management committee
with the ability for the mayor, or if
unavailable, the deputy mayor, or if
unavailable, a councillor to declare a
state of local emergency.
It was presented to councillors for
information.
54th Ave. paving
CAO Fuller presented the results of
a tender for paving of 54th Ave. and
noted six submissions were received.
“[Engineering firm] Tagish is recommending
award of Border Paving
for $157,018.16, inclusive of GST,” stated
the report.
“They are proposing to begin work
in June and completion date timeline
of Aug. 15, 2020.”
Councillors heard that the project
will also include patching for a recent
waterline break that had to be dug up.
Councillors unanimously approved
the recommendation.
Policing costs
Councillors
decided they will
pay for increased
policing costs
through a special
tax on utility
bills.
CAO Fuller
presented a
memo to council
noting that it
seems to be the
fairest way to
handle the
situation.
