Present were Mayor Bath, Councillor Nelson, Councillor Vooys and Municipal Administrator Dorothy Way. The minutes of the meeting held on Monday, September 20,1999 were read. Mayor Bath moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. The Marquis Foundation requires a new sterilizer for the lodge.The previous Solid Waste Meeting was cancelled, the next meeting is Wednesday, October 20th 1999. / Ian from Western water has talked to Townman Stan Lewis about ordering the parts for the fire hydrants. The garbage truck has been purchased and the rear end and any repairs will be completed next week. The Village will have Townman Stan Lewis purchase 2 gallons of white paint to do the crosswalk at the Milo Community Schogl. Mayor Bath to check with Solid Waste and find out whether we can have the gravel that is required to pave the roads dumped at the lagoon. There is a meeting at the FCSS on October 28th, 1999 at 7:00 p.m. in Vulcan. Councillor Vooys to attend. The eavestrough on the water treatment plant is to be repaired. The length is approximately 65 feet and 2 feet for the down pipe. Hugh Genge from Mossleigh is to do the repairs on Wednesday, October 20th, 1999. The water meter that Mayor Bath bought from the Village of Milo is not working. Ron Marks has checked the water meter out and the magnet might not be working on the meter.Councillor Vooys will check out the meter and see if he find out what is wrong with it The Village will have the water hooked up to a Village waterline until the meter is repaired or replaced. Will get Ron Marks to unhook the meter that is not working. Municipal Administrator Dorothy Way, advised that she would not be able to work on Tuesday, November 16,1999, therefore the Village office will be open on Monday, November 15,1999. The next Council meeting for the Village of Milo was set for Monday, November 15,1999 at 7:00 pm. in the Village Office. The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.Councillors Comments I attended the AAMD&C Convention in Edmonton last week. We did not learn much about the Govt, of Alberta new secondary highway plan. It appears the County will maintain the secondaries in our County for the year 2000. We will be paid on a fee /km. for this service. The County and the Govt, of Alberta aren't sure what the program will be after that. Now that the Provincial Govt, has taken the construction of secondary highways back your County can concentrate on our local road system again. There will be no construction work on 542 in the year 2000. Work should resume in 2001. The Provincial Govt, is looking at replacing the Bow City bridge in the year 2003. This may change but lots hope not. If Environment lowers Lake McGregor to replace the culvert under the Lomond Causeway, your County is hoping the Causeway itself can be raised and widened .We would like to change the approach alignment at both ends when 531 secondary is rebuilt.The Vale farrp yard may be a problem on the east side. It appears to me Environment is rather hard to work with as they do not seem to know what they actually own until you need some work done by them. The County gravel trucks are mostly shut down, although 2 or 3 are running when drivers are available, weather permitting. We had a meeting with Ty Lund when we were in Edmonton. It seems the Intensive Livestock bill will not be dealt with in the Spring session. If this is what happens there is a remote possibility the whole thing may be scrapped as it has lots of flaws in it yet. If this happens then the Govt, may use the Code of Practice guide lines for now. Bill 31 diaft paper is out now so if you have a lease you should get a copy and read it thoroughly. Mr Lund also talked about all the subdivisions that are taking place in rural Aiberta. Everybody wants to live in the countiy. He said allowing these subdivisions the rural Govt, are setting the scene for disaster. You cannot have intensive farming and subdivision in the same area. Its agriculture or trouble in the end. If the present trend continues the misplaced city, now county resident will rule rural Alberta. I said before short term financial gain for long term Agriculture pain. It is hard for County councillors to turn down a subdivision, where the home that is built will bring in $1500.00 in taxes opposed to the $10.00 what that "lot" area would bring in as farm land. But that is the price we have to pay to stay as an agricultural county. Due to the fatal accident on the Shouldice road, we now have stop or yield signs on the road. I don't feel these signs will change anything. If drivers don't obey common rules of the road when driving on itiral roads no amount of signs will help, unfortunately. It is a sad fact of life that driver error causes most "accidents". I am looking into putting some sort of signage, to identify all the rural school sites in our County. I think this would be a good millenium project for our County to undertake. There may be some milleniu or historical grant money for this sort of thing. It would be nice to do this while students who attended these schools are still here to help locate the actual building sits. Recording Alberta history does not seem tabe a priority to most people, but I think this one should have local interest. These are my opinions and do not necessarily reflect Vulcan County policy. Grant LahdThe ELW meeting was held November 17,1999 with six ladies and Pastor Ed present This meeting had been postponed one week because so many members were away on our regular day. Iris led Bible study “Celebrating Our Bodies As God’s Temples” Harriet read the Grace Gifts meditation “Stewardship Of The Body”. The offering was received. June read the minutes of the last meeting. They were adopted as corrected. Iris gave the treasurer’s report in Carol’s absence. Correspondence was reaft and business out of the minutes discussed. We will decorate for the party on Saturday December 4th. Our supper at Lois’s is at 6:00 p.m. November 28*. The Praise Offering service will be November 21 as Pastor Ed will be away that day so this will be a lay service. The annual Parish meeting is at Hope November 18*. We will serve soup, buns and squares. There is a list in the kitchen of things we need for layettes, Klenli kits and school kits. When we bring in new items please mark them on the list. Photos are wanted for the Quadrennial Convention at Vernon next July. The Training Event will be held at Hope in the spring of2004. For December Harriet cleans the church, June leads Bible study and Maxine is hostess Audrey adjourned the meeting and Harriet served a delicious lunch.
