Highlights of August 3 Council Meeting Crowsnest Pass

Lethbridge College is in the process of moving the Education Consortium to the MDM community centre, the lease on the relocation as now been signed by all parties.

The grant funding for our Infrastructure projects is starting to flow in last week we received $850,000 of our MSI grant. To this point the line of credit as not been used.

Council by a vote of 4-2 awarded the engineering for the Sentinel bridge to Stantec.

Two Notices of Motion were brought forth the first by Councilor Taje, requesting that council oppose the relocation of the power lines to the base of the valley going through the Frank area.

The second Notice of Motion was by Councilor Ward to bring forth a policy that no development agreements will be approved or developments allowed to proceed in the future without adequate security agreements being in place.

We also received an appraisal of the Crowsnest Centre which came in at a value of $1.4 million if the land was vacant, and between $1.75 to $2.3 million for the land and buildings. (depreciated replacement value)

Council also set the date for the advance poll at October 13 10am to 8pm at the Elks Hall in Blairmore

Council also selected August Kollee to be the returning officer.
