Transportation, and F. Desjarlais, Genera! Manager, Volker Stevin
Contracting, arrived at the meeting at 10:25 a.m. to answer questions from
Council on highway maintenance within County boundaries.
The following questions, with responses from Mr. Camplin and Mr.
Desjarlais, were asked:
1. What are the future plans for improvements to Secondary Highways?
r" Mr. Camplin stated that he could not provide many details as the
budget has not yet been announced, but did mention the following:
Highway 1 and 36 intersection, finishing SH 876, PR 130, SH 544
overlay, repairs to selected areas of Highway 36 and Highway 1, and
commencing work on SH 561.
Arrived at Meeting
Superintendent of Public Works, Steve Wylie, and Operations
Manager, Randy Dumonceau, arrived at the meeting at 10:38 a.m.
Also discussed was an overlay on SH 530; entrance road into
Scandia from Highway 36; are there extra budget monies available if
municipalities come up with a partnership plan; and a safety issue
with large trucks on Highway 36 through the Red Deer River.
2. Why are some areas of SH 862 oiled and other areas nof?
Reeve Douglass provided the background information on SH 862,
and asked Mr. Camplin if further oiling on this road is planned. Mr.
Camplin responded that there is no program to oil new kilometres
unless there are some real significant concerns with safety to
,--~ travellers like unsafe intersections. With respect to SH 862, Alberta
Infrastructure & Transportation (A1T) will maintain oil where it has
~~~

'~ been placed traditionally as long as this is economically viable, and
suggested that if other areas need oil that maybe the County could
explore a partnership in this regard.
3. Grading on Secondary Highways within fhe County of Newell.
Mr. Desjarlais asked if there is some interest in the County with
regard to partnering with Volker Stevin on grading, and commented
that he would encourage partnerships. Council discussed turnaround
times on various County roads, and Mr. Desjarlais stated that any
complaints on turnaround times on specific roads be sent to him. He
stated that a primary contact person from the County would simplify
this. There was discussion on grader operators, possibly narrowing
wide roads, and possibly some increase in monies for road
maintenance this year. Mr. Camplin also reiterated that if there are
some grave! roads that A/T built extra wide, they maybe narrowed.
4. Issue of slow turnaround time for snow removal on Secondary
Highway.
Mr. Desjarlais spoke about Volker Stevin's provincial winter service
delivery program. GPS being installed in all of their trucks, which
~" helps with complaints, observations from the grader foremen, and
changing traffic volumes because of projecfs were taken into
consideration to help put together a strategy to deal with slow
turnaround times for snow removal. He stated that Volker Stevin
does not determine priorities, and adjustments to their program are
made based on community feedback and that he encourages and
keeps logs of telephone complaints. There was brief discussion on
SH 530, traffic counts, SH 525, Finnegan Ferry, fhe old #1 Resource
Road, bridge expansion, and road closures with regard to
development along Highway 1. With regard to traffic counts, Mr.
