The resolution to proceed with a review was passed at the March 13 regular meeting of council. Reeve Larry Clarke began the discussion about the County of Stettler’s councillor code of conduct policy by noting he asked that the issue be placed on the meeting agenda. Clarke stated that with issues involving councillor conduct going on in other communities, the reeve said he wanted to ensure the County of Stettler’s code of conduct policy was “bullet-proof.” Clarke added that with changes to the Municipal Government Act (MGA) since the code of conduct’s approval, perhaps a legal review including an expert opinion might also be in order. Coun. Ernie Gendre stated he supported a review, including details such as a dress code for councillors at county meetings; Gendre noted he personally was in favour of dress code rules including a prohibition on the wearing of hats during the council meeting. Coun. Les Stulberg also agreed a review was a good idea and suggested it be done during a “Committee of the Whole” (COW) meeting. Readers should note COW meetings are common at many municipalities and generally are used for issues that could include lengthy presentations or debates, and usually don’t include any resolutions; any resolutions usually have to be forwarded to regular council meetings as recommendations. Manager of Municipal Services Andrew Brysiuk asked that councillors, if they made a motion about this issue, be specific and include whether a legal review including experts such as lawyers be included. Brysiuk added that it could be interesting to hear an expert discuss case law surrounding issues like councillor code of conduct. The reeve again noted many different issues and some changes to important laws have cropped up since the current county policy was developed and approved. Coun. Justin Stevens stated that he supported the idea of a review of the councillor code of conduct and also felt it was fair to leave it up to the staff to find legal experts to present to council.

BREEDERS’ SECTION ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB March 21'24 13 Prairie Economic Development $500,000 project grant Cont’d from Pg 3 “The property is zoned as DC 1 direct control district 1 and in this land use district the discretionary use of the building is for temporary assembly,” noted the staff memo. “Adding services and a washroom facility would be an improvement for the users of the facility while still following the discretionary use as temporary assembly.” Neill stated staff recommended approving the application as improving services wouldn’t change the nature of the operation and improved services were not seen as having a negative effect on neighbours either. The development permit application listed President Sandra Beaudoin, who is also a town councillor. Beaudoin stated at the beginning of the presentation she would describe the application briefly but Cont’d from Pg 12 County Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Yvette Cassidy stated that some neighbouring municipalities have recently conducted a “governance review” with the help of an expert on municipal governments; she noted the County of Stettler has invited Municipal Affairs (MA) to examine the County of Stettler’s policies and ways would not participate in either the council debate or vote. The development permit application noted the estimated value of renovations was half a million dollars. When looking at the application Mayor Danny Povaschuk asked where the facility might tie into existing services. Beaudoin stated a hydrant isn’t far away, plus sewer service is also nearby; she said the society is looking at underground power. Beaudoin also pointed out the heritage ministry is required to approve the society’s project as the site is considered a historical resource. Beaudoin also noted that the Prairie Economic Development agency is providing a grant of $500,000 for this project. She added that the roundhouse was identified as a kickstarter for the Hanna-region economy following COVID; to ensure Governance review of doing business but has yet to get a commitment from the provincial ministry. Coun. Stulberg suggested councillors hear the legal opinion first, which may help in identifying a direction for the code of conduct review. Councillors unanimously approved a review of the councillor code of conduct policy to be done during an upcoming COW meeting. the site’s future a source of revenue has to be found and improving services means the facility can more easily accommodate users. At this point Beaudoin left the council meeting. The mayor voiced support for the application. “It’s a great project,” said 19th Annual Bull and Female Sale At the Ranch, April 4 th 2024 @ 1 pm 19th Annual Bull and Female Sale 19th Annual 19th Annual Bull and Bull Female and Female Sale Sale At the At At Ranch, the the Ranch, Ranch, April April April 4 th 2024 4 th 4 2024 th @ 2024 1 @ pm @ 1 pm 1 pm On Offer On Offer On Offer On Offer •50+ •50+ •50+ Bulls Bulls Bulls •50+ •50+ •50+ Heifers Heifers Heifers •50+ Heifers Povaschuk, noting the site already hosts a lot of events.

Neill responded this project has no cost to taxpayers, and if it did result in costs in the future that detail would return to the council table for approval.
