be welcome. An Executive Committee has been established to steer the project
and working groups have also been formed. A. Dykin gave an overview of the
three priorities established through a settlement strategy - English as a second
language, social isolation and inclusion, and youth aged 15-24. There also exists
an immigrant advisory group of individuals who have experienced life as
immigrants. An action plan is being developed from the results of a community
research project that identified needs and gaps in service. A. Dykin provided
information regarding various events, including an annual welcome event and
programs during Alberta Culture Days. The Brooks Local Immigration Partnership

experiences, and breakout sessions.

questions regarding contacting newcomers and making them aware of services
available. Connections are made with ethnocultural group leaders to talk to people

11.1 � Road Closure -Approval to Proceed (NW 31-13-13-W4 & SW 6-14-13-W4)
The Manager of Planning & Development provided background information on this
item, indicating that the landowners were contacted regarding a pivot that
encroaches on the road allowance. The applicant has indicated there was a
historical agreement to trade the road allowance land for land that is now part of
SH875, but there is no evidence of this in the historical meeting minutes. The
applicant has requested that the RR140 road allowance, from SH875 to the Bow
River, be closed and transferred to them at no cost. The Manager of Planning &
Development provided information regarding market value of the road allowance
and outlined options.
S. Gutfriend provided Council with further background information, indicating that
the road allowance had been traded for land for SH875. She displayed a map,
indicating that the road was registered in 1955 and widened in 1975. The County
paid her grandfather, J. Pahl, $2, 274.00 as compensation for damages, not a land
acquisition. She acknowledged that the pivot does water on the road allowance,
but no crops are produced there. She reiterated the request to close and transfer
the road allowance at no cost to them, indicating that they would be responsible
for the cost of the survey and registration. Further, she requested that the Road
Closure Application fee be waived. The t7of Planning and Development

Regular Council

pointed out that, if the road is transferred to the Gutfriends, an alternate access will
need to be provided for the Eastern Irrigation District land at SE 1-14-14-4.
Council was given the opportunity to ask questions. The Chief Administrative
Officer confirmed that a cheque in the amount of $2, 274.00 was issued to J. Pahl
in 1975. Discussion followed regarding legal and physical access. The Manager
of Planning & Development provided information regarding a subdivision
application that was approved in 1997. This subdivision would have created three
parcels that would better accommodate the lands split by SH875, but it was not
finalized. She indicated that the house must have legal access to the quarter it
was built on. Completing that subdivision would solve the access issues to the
dwelling, but a new application would be required. Discussion followed, and
Council suggested dealing with everything at the same time and asking if the
Eastern Irrigation District would be willing to consolidate their lands so that the
entire road allowance can be transferred. S. Gutfriend indicated that she had met
with the Eastern Irrigation District and they are not interested in consolidating. She
provided information regarding the location of the fence line that divides the EID
land and their pasture, indicating that the fence was built in this location because
the land is rugged and difficult to fence. The EID is willing to swap land to establish
the fence line as the border, but the survey costs associated with this will be
substantial. It will also require a formal subdivision process.
ARRIVED AT MEETING
T. Green arrived at 1:37 p.m.
The County Planner suggested a meeting with the EID and the landowners to
gather information and determine how to proceed, indicating that completing
everything at once could minimize the costs. Council provided direction for
