Local improvement bylaws defeated by council

By Lori Larsen

A group of residents impacted by City of Camrose Local Improvement Bylaws 3199-22 and 320022, for a local improvement tax in respect of all lands that directly benefit from the Asphaltic Pavement Overlay local improvement project, attended the March 7 City of Camrose regular council meeting to speak on behalf of a petition filed against the bylaws.

The petition against the bylaws, dated February 22, was deemed insufficient due to the fact that it was not signed by twothirds of the owners who would be liable to pay the local improvement tax as outlined in the Municipal Government Act (MGA).

In this particular case, the area (65/66 Street from Enevold to Marler Drive) included 62 owners of the benefitting parcels, and the petition contained only 41 valid signatures of owners.

Local resident of the area in question Jane Dumonceaux reiterated her opposition against the bylaws as outlined in the petition that she organized.

“Our sidewalks are not that bad. At this time, with the price of gas and the price of food, we have some single moms on our street, we have some renters and the rent will go up, we just cannot afford that kind of money at this time. I think a few years down the road, when the road does get worse and the sidewalks do get worse, then would be the time to do it.”

Jake MacNeil also expressed opposition to the bylaws, stating that the increase was a lot of money right now. “A lot of people can’t afford it. By my house, there is nothing wrong with the sidewalks. We’ve walked down the street and it is not really that bad.

“I think I speak for the majority of people on our block that we don’t want this and we don’t want to pay for it either.”

City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd explained the process of petitioning. “The MGA provides residents within the area of local improvement with the option to petition against an improvement. Although this petition (before council) represents a significant opposition to it (local improvement Bylaws 3199-22 and 320022), it is one signature short from being sufficient. If it had the one additional signature, council would be required to defeat the motion. Given that it is not meeting those criteria, that doesn’t mean that council cannot defeat the motion. It just means that council is not required to.”

Council moved that the petition be accepted as insufficient.

In a separate agenda item, council heard on Bylaws 3199-22 and 3200-22.

According to Bylaw 3199-22, the local improvement tax that would be collected over 10 years for this project would total $15,448.45 levied annually against the benefitting owners.

Separate motions to accept second and third readings of Bylaws 3199-22 and 3200-22 were defeated by council.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautiful duplex bungalow offers all the space you need while enjoying the tranquil lifestyle of an older adult community. The home itself is very well built and fully finished.

The minute you walk in the front door, you notice the bright airy feeling the vaulted ceilings and open floor plan create. Low maintenance laminate and vinyl flooring makes cleanup a breeze.

The kitchen and goodsized dining area flow smoothly into the living room so conversations are never interrupted. Cook up a storm in the wellappointed kitchen featuring a roll-out pantry and oodles of cabinets. Guests or family members can pull up and eat at the breakfast counter while you prepare a snack. Then head to the living room and gather around the gas fireplace.

The master bedroom has plenty of room and a private three-piece en suite with step-in shower. Another room could act as a guest bedroom or your home office. A second main floor fourpiece bathroom and the main floor laundry are huge conveniences.

Once the weather gets nicer, step out onto the covered back deck and enjoy your morning coffee or the joy of barbecue season.

The completely finished basement has a large family room with another cozy gas fireplace, which helps alleviate arguments over who has control over the television remote.

Another bedroom and three-piece bathroom is welcoming for overnight guests, and a flex room could be used as a home gym or hobby room. A large storage room is great for putting away seasonal items.

The double attached garage will keep your vehicle nice and warm during our snowy winter months.

St. Patrick’s Day Edition

Paddy said to his friend Murphy, “I know a girl who married an Irishman on St. Patrick’s Day.” Murphy said, “Oh really?” Paddy said, “No, O’Reilly.” What do you get when you cross a four-leaf clover with poison ivy? A rash of good luck. Irish lass customer: “Could I be tryin’ on that dress in the window?” Shopkeeper: “Well now, I’d prefer that you use the dressing room.” Paddy and Murphy are preparing to be blasted into space and have just left the mission briefing when Paddy says, “Murphy, where are we goin’?” Murphy replies, “Well, Paddy, the man in charge said we are on a mission to the sun.” “Okay,” says Paddy. He thinks for a while and then asks, “Won’t it be a bit hot, it bein’ the sun and all?” “Don’t be stupid, Paddy,” says Murphy. “The man said we’d be goin’ at night.” Two Irish mothers, Kate and Lorna, were talking about their sons. Kate says, “My Patrick is such a saint. He works hard, doesn’t smoke, and he hasn’t so much as looked at a woman in over two years.” Lorna responds, “Well, my Francis is a saint himself. Not only hasn’t he not looked at a woman in over three years, but he hasn’t touched a drop of liquor in all that time.” “My word,” says Kate, “You must be so proud.” “I am,” announces Lorna. “And when he’s paroled next month, I’m going to throw him a big party.” An Irishman proposed to his girl on St. Patrick’s Day. He gave her a ring with a synthetic diamond. The excited young lass showed it to her father, a jeweller. He took one look at it and saw it wasn’t real. The young lass, upon learning it was fake, returned to her future husband. She protested vehemently about his cheapness. “But darlin’, in honour of St. Patrick’s Day,” he smiled, “I gave you a sham rock.” Paddy: “Me wife has a terrible habit of staying up ’til two o’clock in the morning. I can’t break her of it!” Murphy: “What on earth is she doin’ at that time?” Paddy: “Waitin’ for me to come home.” How old are leprechauns? So old that they can remember when rainbows were black and white. Paddy and Murphy were walking along the road when Paddy noticed a mirror on the ground. He picked it up and looked in the mirror. “Hey, I know that guy!” he said. Murphy took the mirror from him and looked in it and said, “Of course you know who it is, you idiot! It’s me!” Finnegan phoned the maternity ward at the hospital. “Quick!” He said. “Send an ambulance! Me wife is about to have a baby!” “Is this her fi rst baby?” the doctor asked. “No, ya idiot, this is her husband, Finnegan!” Why did the leprechaun stand on the potato? To keep from falling into the stew. Finnegan went to see his doctor. The doctor said, “Look, Finnegan, I’ve some bad news and some terrible news.” “What’s the bad news?” asked Finnegan. “Well,” replied the doctor, “You only have three days to live.” “You’re joking,” says Finnegan. “How on earth can the news get any worse?” “Well,” says the doctor, “I’ve been trying to get hold of you for the past two days.” Paddy and Murphy were on opposite sides of the river. “How do I get to the other side of the river?” shouted Paddy. “You’re on the other side already!” replied Murphy. Walking into the bar, Finnegan said to the bartender, “Pour me a stiff one – just had another fi ght with the wife.” “Oh no,” said the bartender. “And how did it end?” “Ha, when it was over,” Shamus replied, “She came crawling to me on her hands and knees.” “Really?” said the bartender. “What did she say?” She said, “Come out from under the bed, Finnegan, you little chicken!”
