Clearwater County had a busy agenda on Tuesday, here is a look back at their highlights:

Bylaw 1175/23

Following public hearing proceedings, Council granted second and third readings to Bylaw No. 1175/23 for the purpose of amending the Land Use Bylaw to redesignate +/-4.48 acres within Pt NW 26-40-07 W5M from the Agriculture District “A” to the Country Residence Agriculture District “CRA”.

Bylaw 1181/24

Council granted first, second, and third readings to Bylaw 1181/24 for the purpose of allowing the borrowing of sums council considers necessary to meet current operating expenditures and obligations of the municipality in a fiscally prudent manner.

Road Closure Application – Portion of Road Plan 6241BM

Council approved the closure of a portion of Road Plan 6241BM running through the NW 04-40-09 W5M, in accordance with Section 22 of the Municipal Government Act, subject to the rights of access granted by other legislation.

Request for Central Alberta Economic Partnership (CAEP) Advocacy – TWP 42-5A

Council approved sending a letter requesting Central Alberta Economic Partnership Board of Directors’ support in lobbying the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities for partnership funding to grade, base and pave the O’Chiese First Nation primary access road, Township Road 42-5A.

Request for O’Chiese First Nation Joint Advocacy – TWP 42-5A

Council approved sending a joint letter with O’Chiese First Nation to the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, requesting federal funding support in partnership with Clearwater County and the Province of Alberta for the Township Road 42-5A Base Pave Project.

Request to Meet with Provincial Ministers
Historically, council meets with several ministers during the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) Convention. Council discussed this topic and determined that organizing a dedicated one-day event hosted in Clearwater County to meet with ministers would be more advantageous. This approach allows council to maintain focus at the RMA Convention and offers council a valuable opportunity to discuss relevant topics with the ministers in a more personable setting.
