Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillors Monner & Hingley, Municipal Administrator Lynda Cyr, Bill Brown from S & B Holdings, Barb Godkin and Darlene Gross. The minutes of the meeting held on November 21, 199A were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. A letter was received from Tarragon Oil & Gas Ltd. in regards to a proposed pipeline tie-in 11-29 to 14-28-19-21 W4M. It is a requirement of the Energy Resources Con­servation Board that they notify any town within 1.5 kms of the proposed project. Mayor Umscheid signed the duplicate of the letter confirming our receipt of the same. Another letter was received on behalf of Tarragon Oil & Gas requesting the Village's consent to drill within 1.6 km of the Village. Lynda Cyr is to check with them to make certain this will not be a sour gas well, and if it is not, the agreement is to be returned to them. Bill Brown gave a report and stated he is still having problems with some of the residents in town who have not replaced their garbage canSviv-A notice will go out with the next water and sewer bills and also in the January Can Opener. Barb Godkin joined the meeting at 7:00 p.m. to go over the 1995 Budget for the Milo Municipal Library. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village of Milo Council approve the 1995 budget. CARRIED. A letter is to be sent to the library stating this. Councillor Hingley reported that the Ambulance board will be spending approximately $ 90,000.00 to $ 100,000.00 on the new ambulance. They have it down to two companies at this time. Councillor Hingley reported he has attended a few regionalization meetings for the Marquis Foundation. All the seniors' housing is under one board at this time. This also includes the Wheat Country Special Needs homes. Councillor Monner said he has been to two meetings in regards to the Solid Waste Management Authority. He said the Town of Vulcan have put out tenders for garbage pickup, and B.F.I. have come back with a price of $ A.10 per household per week. Laidlaw is currently charging $ 7.45. This may be something we will have to consider in the future. Lynda Cyr has contacted Muni-Soft computer company, and they will be coming to our meeting in January to give a demonstration. Mayor Umscheid said both the Milo & District Recreation Board and Milo and District Fire Association have decided to leave the mill rate the same as this year. Councillor Hingley made a motion that the Villagelleave the mill rates the same. CARRIED. A letter is to be sent to the County of Vulcan informing them of this- A letter was received from the Economic Development Committee with their requisition for 1994. A discussion followed. Council do not feel the Village is getting any­thing back from the Economic Development Committee for the amount of the requisition. Lynda Cyr is to check into this and get more information for the January meeting.Lynda Cyr asked Council if it would be alright to close the office on December 27. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village office be closed Tuesday, December 27, 1994. CARRIED. Councillor Monner has checked into purchasing a snowblower/sweeper to keep the sidewalks clean.

Lynda is to contact Marina to go ahead with it. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.Councillors Comments These are my interpretations of the meetings and may not be the same as the County of Vulcan Council. At the Little Bow Municipal Meeting that I attended on Monday January 23, Some interesting topics were discussed. Highway 23 construction will start at the Comer Store and go about 5 miles north, this start this spring. Highway 2 from Aldersyde south to the railway tracks was supposed to go ahead this summer. There is some talk of an over pass north of the one at High River. It appears that pay the producer is the way the Government of Canada is going. The money has to go to the actual grain producer and not the land lord. The Crow benefit is down to 550 million and we will be lucky if it stays there. The speaker was talking about a fund of 5 billion dollars. We know the Government doesn't have this amount of money so I would think it will be a lot less and paid out over 5 years or so. There should be some kind of announcement on February 2 we were told. Apparently at a meeting down east, Manitoba was trying to get Saskatchewan to side with them so that Manitoba could get a larger share of the money. However our speaker said that Alberta had already talked to Saskatchewan and no changes were made. Unfortunately politics seems to get mixed up in our business at every turn. Also no more Crow benefits is to go east of Manitoba as apparently some millions of dollars were taken off the original amount of the Crow for that purpose. I don't know how many of you have read or have been to any of the meeting about the new Water Management Act. You should be very concerned about this Act. I feel it was written by government beuracrats as no agriculture person can agree with it. Your basic water allotment would barely keep the average household going, (2 acre feet, about 500,000 gallons). Anything above this would have to be permitted and probably paid for. There are many things in the Draft that will be a hardship to people in agriculture. By agreement 50% of the River water that flows east has to be left in the river for Saskatchewan. Only 20% of Alberta river water is in southern Alberta. 1.4 million acres are irrigated from this and the Government feels 0.3 million more acres could be irrigated and still leave enough flow in the river for Saskatchewan. The speaker we had I believe he was Deputy Minister of the Dept, of the Environment said there may be more meetings called as there appears to be more interest than the Government anticipated. If there are more in southern Alberta I think you should all go as the final version of their draft will affect every large users of water for a long time. You can't water many cattle on 500,000 gallons of water of spray your crop either. For more information call 1-800-661-5586 toll free or Dick Bennet at the Government office in Lethbridge. Please get involved as the water supply for your farm will definitely be expensive and possibly ever rationed. I am going to the Provincial Agriculture Conference in Edmonton on January 29 so there may be some more information on this there. There are some roads in Division 7 that I am going to have designated as seasonal roads. There will be no snow plowing on these roads and very little summer maintenance. So far I have about 8 miles in mind.

There are some very nice items as well as the new chocolate mint cookies. The lovely weather allowed us to enjoy a game of Fox and Geese at one of our meetings. A really fun day on January 21 st included a performance of the Ice Capades. It was so nice to see Canada’s Olympic Gold winner, Elizabeth Manley as “Cinderella”. Thanks goes to Kimberley and Kayla Armstrongs’ Mom, Marianne, for helping with the driving. It was really fun having the whole ice arena to ourselves this past week! The ice was beautiful! We’ll soon be getting a count on the next bunch of soup labels to be mailed. Until then.... Brown Owl COMMITTMENT Committment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the word that speaks boldly of your intentions. And the action which speaks louder than the winds. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Committment is the stuff character is made of: the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integ­rity over skepticism. ************************i*************** Yamaha PSR - 200 Keyboard like new (used very little) Sony AM/FM Stereo Cassette player - like new Size 9 1/2 men's Bauer Special Pro skates Cooper Hockey Pants Supra CCM shoulder pads - large.
