Box 87, Vulcan, Alberta, CanadaHIGHLIGHTS OF VILLAGE OF MILO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING September 17. 2007 Delegations Resident Georgina Lilly made a statement to Council regarding the proposed development for the West side of Lake McGregor by Crystal Blue Development. Mrs. Uily expressed concern over various negative impacts that this development could have for the Village and Community, especially if the Village decided provide treated water to the development. Council explained to Mrs. Ully that the only decision which has been made by the Council is to provide information for and review a feasibility study, completed by Hasegawa Engineering and at the expense of Crystal Blue Developments, which examines the merits and negatives of upgrading and expanding our current water treatment infrastructure to provide treated water to the proposed development. Keith Deitz, President of the East Milo Water Co-Op also made a brief statement to Council requesting information regarding the proposed Crystal Blue Development lake subdivision, and was given the same information which was provided to Mrs. Ully with assurances that prior to any decision being made to provide treated water to the development, all stakeholders in our treated water system including the Milo Water Co-Op and residents would consulted for their input. Barry Monner made a statement to Council regarding his proposal to build a 55 + group / condo style Development at 3rd Avenue North on the west side of the Village. Council explained to Mr. Monner that until the annexation of this land was completed, the Village was not in a position to discuss or approve any requests to purchase and develop land. Mr. Monner was invited to present a formal and detailed proposal to Council once the annexation was completed. Mr. Phillips, speaking as the land owner, advised that he would be willing to sell the land in question to the Village for re-sale development and Councillor Edwards stated that while he supported the concept of the proposal, the opinion of the new councillor and facts of a detailed proposal would be integral to providing any approval. New Residential Development Council approved the revised engineering proposal from UMAfor two new residential new cul-de- sac developments at 3rd Avenue and 1st Street North. It is hoped that the preliminary engineering work and securing of a contractor can be done to coincide with the finalization of the annexation so that work can begin on the project this year to capitalize on the growing interest for residential property in the Village. Pot Hole Repair Council approved the quote from Volker Stevin for asphalt patching and pot hole repairs for Village. Although the Village would like very much to address all the asphalt damage in the Village, this repair will focus on the most badly damaged sections. Contract Mowing Council approved the quote from Volker Stevin for mowing of the CPR right of way property Behind Agricore United and the Deitz Elevator and further to the south. Street Closure Council approved the partial closure of Centre Street on Wednesday September 26, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to accommodate the Scotiabank Barbecue Lunch fundraiser for the new Milo Library. Road Gravelling Council approved Marks Oilfield supplying gravel for 2nd Street North and 3rd Avenue North and for the alley way behind the Library to the Village Shop. New Council Administrator Deitz announced that only three nomination papers had been filed for the vacant Councillor positions for the civic election, so by acclamation, the new Village of Milo Council will be Robert Phillips, Steve Edwards and newcomer Wendy Hingley. Councillor Phillips, Councillor Edwards and Administrator Deitz all thanked Mayor Vooys for his service to the Village of Milo during his 3 terms on Council and wished him well for the future.Next Meeting The next Meeting of the Village of Milo was scheduled for Monday October 15, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office. An Organizational Meeting of the new Council will be held first, followed by the Regular meeting of Council. The draft minutes for the September 17, 2007 meeting can be viewed in their entirety at the Village Office during regular office hours.
