Salary/wage grid
Council agreed in a 6 - 1 vote to hold the line with salary increases for next year’s budget. Keith Griffiths who was skyped into the meeting was the only one in favour of an increase. Information CAO Sandra Kulyk had provided to councillors showed Canada’s Consumer Price Index as 1.5 per cent while Alberta’s is .05 per cent . In the past salary increases were based on the Consumer Price Index. Three employees however will receive raises according to the salary grid. Costs for benefits have gone up for employees because the insurer has been changed due to extreme cost increases by their previous insurer. Turn to Chamber, Pg 5

Although the Coronation & District Chamber of Commerce has gone into hiatus due to lack of members to take on executive positions, the Christmas tree will still go up as it had already been donated but no other special Christmas promotions will take place in Coronation, reported Jodi Shipton at the November 14 town council meeting.

Library
Council heard from members of the Town of Coronation Memorial Library. Two board members have resigned and Laurie Rock has volunteered for the one position. Council also re-appointed Donna Rondeau, Janine Stannard and Linda McLarty
who have served nine years and must be approved by a 2/3rds vote by council as per the Alberta Librairies Act. Other members on the board include chair, Val Cornell, Marilyn Polege, Jill Bossert, Diane Elliott, Liz Adams and Jackie Brigley. The library board is asking for $500 additional dollars in their budget for 2017 but have also been fundraising to maintain the same level of service. The summer student this year was paid for through Canada Summer Jobs for only 9 weeks rather than the usual 14 weeks so the board had to cover the unexpected remaining cost. “Definitely, for the whole board, it’s a labour of love,” said Cornell. “They are all passionate in what we do.”

The Town of Coronation approved the land use bylaw to include ‘Accessory Building Fabric Covered’ in the ‘RA’ Residential Acreage District at their regular Nov. 28 meeting. Council also unanimously agreed that all streets entering onto the Victoria Ave. should be consistent with stop signs rather than the five entrances that have yield signs.
