Council Notes
From the regular meeting of Monday, April 4, 2016

Mayor Terry Yemen opened council announcing that the town had been awarded $125,000 through the Alberta Emergency Services Master Plan Grant. CAO Ray Romanetz said it was reassuring to secure these funds to help fund emergencies such as flood and fire and the grant presents an opportunity to become more adept at dealing with emergency situations.

Mayor Yemen relayed to council concerns he has heard from residents about drivers moving at speeds too far below the speed limit. Director of Protective Services Greg Peters said the RCMP will be contacted regarding the issue.

Council passed the third and final reading of Bylaw 5.16 being a bylaw to reclassify the grounds surrounding, not the school building, of the former St. Anthony's School site from Community Services designation to Residential.
••••••
Council made amendments to certain bylaw definitions in the Solid Waste Management legislation in order to address concerns of the lack of prohibitory bylaws for waste management at the Drumheller Landfill. Protective Services Director Greg Peters said the document does not provide landfill staff and law enforcement with the necessary "teeth" to deal with misconduct and questionable practices of some landfill customers.

Community Services Director Paul Salvatore submitted a request to approve the appointments to the Heritage, Arts, and Culture Steering Committee of Ron Kenworthy, Cody Glydon, Shawn Fielding, Rayanne Russell.
