Clearwater County and the Village of Caroline have set an amalgamation meeting for later this month.
The amalgamation meetings will take place on Feb. 29, at 9:00 a.m. at Clearwater County’s main administration building.
County officials say it is important to note no final decision has been made yet about amalgamation by either Village Council or Clearwater County Council. Officials add, the decision must be made by both the County and the Village, and then a request will be sent to the Province of Alberta.
At the last amalgamation meeting on January 25-26, 2024, the Amalgamation Committee made up of all Clearwater County and Village of Caroline Councils successfully negotiated 10 mandatory topics and two operational topics crucial for the final report to Municipal Affairs. Dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition, officials say the Committee is actively working to maintain current service levels during the amalgamation process. Notably, the Committee’s motions are expected to not impact Clearwater County’s approved 2024 budget.
