Michael Monner made a presentation to Council on behalf of the Milo Community School Advisory Council. The topic of discussion was the school track and the ball diamond. The Advisory Council had addressed a letter to Council on May 28 (however this was not received until June 11) stating their concerns and requirements for both the track and the ball diamond. They are requesting at least a 12 meter width of adjacent land along the lenth of the encroachment, ending at least 5 meters east of the most eastern portion of the existing fence on the ball diamond. Mr. Monner was advised by Mayor Bath that at the time of her discussion on June 5 @ 9:00 p.m., with the landowners regarding settlement, that we had not received this letter, and that the landowner would be willing to give 10.5 meters along the track but would not consider any dealings with regards to the ball diamond. This included the possibility of a land "swap". Mayor Bath advised Michael that she had hoped to settled this matter completely, acquiring the land that was encroached upon, based on the Palliser Regional Schools survey, but was sorry that she could not. Niven Parliment addressed Council on behalf of Alberta Municipal Affairs. Mr. Parliment is an advisor with Municipal Affairs, and was m attendance at the Village Office with the Municipal Administrator in the afternoon discussing the Village proceedures and role of the Administrator.

Mr. Parliment advised Council what they can and can not delegate under the Municipal Act. We discussed long term planning and the development planning coming out for 3 yr. projects. Discussed the Restructuring of Municipalities and the Acts stand on. Council can address by resolution for a presentation and a restructuring study if the need ever arises. Mr. Parliment advised that he will be following up with a written report on his visit to the Village Office. Council discussed the credit application for Vulcan Ford so that the Townman could acquire parts from them. Municipal Administrator is to complete and return this application to Vulcan Ford. Mayor Bath advised that at the next EMS meeting they will be replying to the Government of Alberta's Task Force on Emergency Services. Mayor Bath and Councillor Vooys met with the Phillip's regarding the encroachments on their property, on June 5, 1996. They were able to acquire 10.5 meters along the track area, and the pavement for the Village entrance on the west side, not including the ditch Mayor Bath advised that she would get this m writing as soon as possible instead of waiting for the final legal documents. Discussion followed regarding what Council had hoped to acquire and what we were able to acquire. It was decided by Council to hold a public vote on if settlement is agreeable and the options that Council may have. An information package is to be put together, Council will be having a special meeting to deal with the requirements of this public vote, what is to be in the information package, and the date for this vote is to be established.Council approved the following locations for benches along the bike path: - 2 benches in the area around the badge bv the entrance to the Village - 1 bench on the east side of the path comer near Audrey Thompson's’residence - 1 bench on the north side ot the path by the west gate leaving the Marks property MOVED by Councillor Umscheid that the Village close out the Bike Path Account in the amount of $2 060 65 and return this to the Bike Path Committee. CARRIED. Council discussed the repairs required by Alsa Paving. Brian Hartford at Lee Maher Engineering advised that 2 parts of the roads have to be excavated and then repaved. Discussed that Alsa did the final prep work therefore are responsible for the excavating. Mayor Bath will contact the Engineers and have this matter straightened out. Marks Oilfield are to submit an estimate on packing and oiling the sides of the paved streets. Discussed possible repairs to First Avenue, as the cost to completely dig up and repave would be $60 000 Municipal Administrator to contact the Town of Vulcan and find out who did their road repairs and manner in which it was repaired. Mayor Bath will contact Lee Maher Engineers and have their opinion on what repairs they Compared our costs for R/V lot rentals compared to other Villages and Towns m the area. Champion rents their lots for $55.00/month and Vulcan, Arrowwood and Lomond do not rent lots for mobile homes. Council felt that our rental rates v/ere in line and no changes will be made.

Present were Mayor Bath, Councillor Umscheid, Councillor Vooys, Municipal Administrator Colleen Deitz, Robert Phillips, Carol Robertson and Michael Monner. Smce the June 17, 1996 meeting, Mayor Bath advised that she has received a signed paper from the landowners agreeing to give the Village entrance portion from the east property pin to the edge of the west side pavement edge, plus the School the 10.5 meters from the west end of Pallisers property to the due south of the west side of the arena for the track. We have also received a letter from Palliser Regional Schools accepting this offer. Discussed the fact that court proceedings would be quite expensive and would void the offer from the Phillip's. Discussed putting up dividers along the entrance to slow traffic down on that entrance and give more protection for the user's of the Bike Path. Discussed the fact that Mark's Oilfield Service can cut back the entrance on the west side for $500.00. Council felt that this would be the best solution to the problems. It was decided that a notice is to be put in the Can Opener and if no objections we could then proceed. MOVED by Mayor Bath that the Village of Milo accept the Phillip's offer on the condition that there is no major disapproval from the citizens of Milo and that we can only accept that part pertaining to the Village. CARRIED. Palltser's surveyor is coming out and we will use them provided that they are no more expensive than Harold Dewitts estimate. Discussed the public vote that we had discussed at last meeting. Since Palliser has accepted the offer, there was not much point in having this vote as one question would deal with the School land issue. Council felt that the Village issue would best be solved by the narrowing of the entrance. At present 2 resumes have been received, however the dead line is June 25 @ 4:00 p.m.. The Municipal Administrator is to contact the Councillors if any further resumes are received. The Councillors were contacted on June 25 regarding the resumes received.

The site has undergone expensive rebuilding after last summers’ flooding. The weather was great as well as the company, as four girls from the Vulcan unit came along and the girls were able to make some new friends. The camp theme was “camping” and that included a nature hike, crafts and games. The meals ranged from “snakes in a log" to “floral bouquets" to “tree sap and milkweed juice", so they ail had a variation on the standard camp food !! A watermelon seed spitting contest had them all getting rid of some hot air!! All in all the camp was fun and left the girls with some fond memories. Until next fall............................
