Motion review
Administration informed
Council that the review of the minutes of Council meetings from the past six years had been completed.
The project was undertaken following the December 7th, 2010 Council meeting, where Council passed a motion to review all motions in order to determine any resolutions which had not been acted upon to present.
Administration identified 11 motions, including the
Turtle Mountain Riding Club lease, York Creek Dam green water supply, water meters, acquisition of SRD lands, Historical Resources Act clearance, Turtle Mountain Restricted Development area, and underground gas in Bellevue, as well as six land items, which had not been acted on.
Administration asked Council to strike a special meeting at a later date in order to deal with the items more closely.
Councillor Larry Mitchell made the motion to call a special meeting, and the motion was approved by all but Councillor Brian Gallant.
Chief Administrative Officer Tully Clifford told Council further details regarding actions taken on the items will be provided at the meeting.
Crowsnest Lions Club multi-year lease
Council received a request from the Crowsnest Lions Club for a five year lease of the Blairmore Seniors Building for club activities.
The Lions club originally leased the building in 2009, after Council directed Administration to lease the space subject to the club providing structural upgrades to the facility prior to occupancy.
In October 2010, the club requested a multi-year lease in order to apply for grants which would allow them to make the upgrades.
Mayor Bruce Decoux noted that serious improvements need to be made to the foundation, windows, electrical wiring, and roof, as well as putting in new drywall and repainting.
Director of Community Services Cam Mertz said that while none of the significant upgrades have yet to be undertaken, there is a verbal commitment from the club that this is their goal.
“Whether they have the capacity or access to funding to provide those significant upgrades is unknown,” said Mertz.
Councillor Andrew Saje noted the building may be reaching the end of its life expectancy.
