2022 staying the course md.bonnyville.ab.ca BUSINESSBUDGET, PLAN & ANNUAL REPORT
FINANCIAL PLAN
The budget document establishes a guideline which the M.D. uses to track its sources of revenue and to measure and control department expenditures. The budget serves as the operating and capital plans for the municipality.
The budget is Council’s most important annual policy decision. It acts as an annual review of the services to be delivered, priorities, and needs and goals while determining the appropriate funding. The main sources of funding are taxation revenue, grants, and user fees. Council is ensuring that all essential services will be delivered while continuing with capital projects to make the M.D. a desirable place to live, work, and visit.
WELCOME
The 2022 budget was developed to provide residents with information regarding the operations and capital priorities of the Municipal District of Bonnyville. This guide outlines the services the M.D. will provide in 2022, the cost to deliver these services, and the infrastructure needs of the municipality.
The M.D. of Bonnyville’s budget document identifies the operations plan for the year, and forecasts specific services to be delivered. Each department’s budget is presented to Council with details of the services being delivered and the costs of delivering such services. Once the budget is passed, the departments are then responsible for the service delivery to residents.
The budget document is used as the primary means of communicating the financial decisions of Council to the residents of the M.D. It provides a summary of each department and the services being delivered. The community is also engaged during the budget process through budget open houses. The open houses provide a means to communicate the budget to residents prior to Council approval of the budget.

I’d like to take a minute to thank the staff at the Municipal District of Bonnyville. They have persevered during the difficult years brought on by the pandemic, con tinuing to provide quality services and information, and being innovative in finding new ways to do business in the M.D.
So far this year, we have seen the completion of the Thin Lake River Bridge replacement, the opening of the Kinosoo Ridge Aerial Adventure Park, and the replacement of the Green Chair at the ski hill. Work on a new portion of the Moose Lake Trail has begun, while boat launch maintenance is just wrapping up. This is just the start of a very busy year.
Council is committed to continuing to provide excellent service for our residents, while being fiscally responsible with taxpayers’ money. We, along with M.D. staff, are dedicated to making the M.D. the best place to live, visit, and do business.
As the 2021-2025 Council settles in, our focus for the 2022 budget is Staying the Course. We chose to focus on projects that have been waiting in the wings, main taining service levels, and staying within our planned budget. This is particularly important to note, as when you, the residents and ratepayers of the M.D. elected this Council, you did so based on our campaign platforms of fiscal responsibility.

MESSAGE FROM THE
DEAR RATEPAYERS,
We continue to look toward the future of the M.D. with the continued progress in Economic Development, intermunicipal collaboration framework agreements with our neighbours, Area Structure Plan reviews and updates, and forward-looking documents including the Recreation Master Plan, Kinosoo Ridge Business Devel opment and Destination Management Plan, and of course our four-year proposed road project list.
The past few years have seen great pressure applied to supply chains, which have in turn increased prices and delivery times on products we use every day, including the oil we use to mix for material to build and maintain roads. This has led to less new projects being approved in the 2022 budget, allowing for carryover projects to be completed.
REEVE —
MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OFFICERADMINISTRATIVE
The future is bright, however. There has been a significant uptick in our primary business — the oilpatch. New well activity is increasing daily, the price of crude has rebounded to high levels, and with that we will see increased municipal revenues over the next several years. Due to some legislative sleight of hand though, we will not see any increased revenues from new well drilling until after 2025. The provincial govern ment, in an effort to support industry, placed a moratorium on munic ipal property taxes being levied on new wells until 2025. This has had a major impact on our M.D. transportation network, as the roads are being well used without the benefit of seeing increased revenues to compensate. To offset this, we have embarked on a strategy of hav ing our commercial road users enter into Road Use Agreements with the goal to have the main users cover the costs of any damages they cause on our roads network. So far, we are pleased with the results. The staff at the M.D. have done an amazing job in shaving expenses where possible. We have re-evaluated our roads program to see what work is possible to complete in-house and what work is possible to design in-house. As an example, this tactic has, in two separate pro jects, led to over $2 million in savings.
Continuing into 2022, we saw the opening of the Aerial Adventure Park at Kinosoo Ridge in May and work continues on the new Green Chair lift with its completion in time for the 2022/23 ski season. New trails are being completed in the Moose Lake area solidifying Council’s commitment to recreation and the health and wellness of our Theresidents.nextyear or two will be challeng ing, but our optimism remains high. The M.D. has stable revenues which makes it somewhat easier to stave off the pressures of increased expenses. We should see an increase of property assessments over the next three years which will help offset the growing costs of the commodities we require to maintain a municipality. Adminis tration is committed to being cost effective and looking for savings opportunities wher ever we may find them. We remain dedicat ed to providing the highest level of service possible while always remaining cognizant that we operate on taxpayer dollars.

With the ongoing COVID-19 dilemma, 2021 was a difficult year for most municipalities. We saw the rise of the supply chain issues, and the slow but steady increase of costs due to a variety of provincial, national, and international pressures. The result of those pressures, including increased costs, are reflected in our 2022 Budget. Increased costs to the M.D., become increased costs to our end users — the residents and businesses of the Municipal District of Bonnyville.
In 2021 we were budgeting for diesel fuel costs of less than .90 cents per litre. In our 2022 budget we have adjusted those numbers to over $1.65 per litre. That increase alone means an increase over our “aver age” fuel expenses of approximately $600,000. These increased trans portation costs are also felt by the M.D. in all the goods and services that are shipped to the M.D. in the form of additional fuel surcharges and increased shipping rates. The supply chain issues have created multi-year waiting lists and significant cost increases for heavy equip ment such as graders and large trucks. This heavy equipment is vital to our operation and to our M.D. as it forms the backbone of the services we provide to those lucky enough to call the M.D. of Bonnyville home.
The wrap up of the 2021 budget cycle and the final approvals of the 2022 budget are complete. We have attached a copy of the 2021 au dited financial statement for everyone’s review, and as indicated, the M.D.’s financial status is all in good order.
I am always pleased to chat with our res idents on any concerns or questions you may have so feel free to contact myself at your AlSincerely,convenience.Hoggan
In 2021 we completed several major pro jects. The firehalls in both Fort Kent and Ardmore were completed and the keys were given to the Bonnyville Regional Fire Authority in November of 2021. The covered outdoor rinks in Cherry Grove and Ardmore were also completed and were very busy over the winter months. The airport saw the creation of a new taxiway and some major repairs to existing infrastructure.
The Province of Alberta’s Municipal Government Act (MGA) legislates that Council must adopt an operating budget (Section 242) and a capital budget (Section 245) for each calendar year. The MGA further requires that estimated revenue and transfers must be sufficient to pay for the estimated expenditures and transfers. The Act requires municipalities to have a balanced budget.
This procurement policy provides the governance framework for purchasing of goods and services and procurement of construction projects for the M.D. of Bonnyville. The policy sets expenditure limits and ensures that items purchased have been approved through the budget process or by Council resolution.

This year, Transportation's focus is on finishing projects that have been on the books for some time. In the first four months, the department has overseen the completion of the Thin Lake River Bridge Replacement Project . Spring melt meant crews were out in full force steaming culverts in attempt to mitigate any flooding and allowing drainage courses to efficiently move excess water, avoiding damage to municipal infrastructure (roads) and ratepayers’ property.
With the introduction of the drainage priority map, road priority map, and road classification map, the Transportation Department has had clear direction on projects. Several drainage projects, mitigating flooding in rural subdivisions, have been completed. This past winter saw an immense amount of snow dropped on our area, and the staff in Transportation were kept remarkably busy keeping roadways clear and finding novel places to put snow piles to ensure spring melt wouldn’t negatively affect any infrastructure.

PLANNING COMMUNITY& SERVICES
Planning and Community Services incorporates five departments - Planning & Development, Parks, Recreation & Culture, Kinosoo Ridge Resort, Economic Development, and Asset Management.
DEPARTMENTOVERVIEW
This department is responsible for the maintenance and operations of the M.D.’s recreational facilities, including 12 campgrounds, playgrounds, baseball diamonds, ever-expanding walking/biking trail system, boat and river launch sites, cross-country ski trails at Muriel Lake M.D. Park, and three outdoor ice rinks.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
ASSET MANAGEMENT
With a new full-time Economic Development Specialist on board in 2022, this department will focus on expanding the economic horizons of the municipality, including business recruitment and retention, and diversifying the current oil and gas/agricultural sector portfolio.
New in 2022, this department will allow for the efficient planning, use, maintenance, and replacement of municipal assets, including everything from buildings, roads and traffic signs to construction equipment and gravel. This department is also home to our GIS/ Mapping section, responsible for housing all asset management data, creating M.D. maps, and maintaining and organizing the M.D.’s Rural Addressing (blue sign) program.
The role of this department within the municipality is to provide administrative services for development of land, building, future planning, rezoning, subdivision, and more. This department issues Safety Code permits, building and development permits, and makes sure all development adheres to not only federal and provincial standards, but the M.D.’s Land Use Bylaw, Municipal Development Plan, and Intermunicipal Development Plans with neighbouring municipalities.
KINOSOO RIDGE RESORT
Located on the shores of Cold Lake, this resort is home to a variety of ski and snowboard runs, terrain parks, and the increasingly popular Tube Park. This year marks the first year of year-round operations with the opening of the Aerial Adventure Park.

PARKS, RECREATION & CULTURE
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
In Parks & Recreation, the continuation of the expansion of the Cold Lake M.D. Park will continue with the installation of a new boat launch. The department will continue to focus on the evolution of the M.D.’s trail system with its Trails Master Plan and the Intermunicipal Trails Plan with the City of Cold Lake. We will continue to investigate river boat launch development, expanding the French Bay M.D. campground, and upgrading the Beartrap Lake Campground.
In Economic Development, the M.D. welcomed a new specialist in the first half of the year, with a focus on making a truly forward-thinking investment ready and diversified economic plan a reality within the M.D.
In 2022, Planning & Development continues to work on Area Structure Plan reviews, including those for the Hamlets of Ardmore and Cherry Grove. With this year's addition of a Planner, the M.D. is focusing on long-range plans for the municipality, including outlining uses for Municipal and Environmental Reserves. The long-range planning also includes developing policies to guide discretionary uses on M.D. lands, for example, allowing personal honey-producing beehives in Country-Residential zoned areas.
Atriding.Kinosoo
In the Parks Department, we are currently working with the City of Cold Lake on a joint intermunicipal trails plan, which will allow for an interconnecting trail system in the municipalities. The expansion of the Cold Lake M.D. Park continues with the opening of over 70 new sites. The construction of warming shacks for our outdoor rinks also continues. In 2022, Council has approved an extension of the Moose Lake Trail. The project was tendered in the first quarter and came in under the $2 million budget. New boat launches are scheduled to be installed this year, and the department is expanding camping at Muriel Lake to include seasonal sites and providing access for horseback

WHERE WE’RE GOING
New this year is Asset Management. This year will be spent educating staff and setting up the foundation of the program across all departments.
Kinosoo Ridge's new Business and Destination Management Plan has been presented to Council and will set the path forward to expand and evolve this unique recreation area.
Economic Development will focus on local investment readiness, amplifying the brand of the region, and business attraction to diversify the current economic portfolio.
In Parks & Recreation, we have seen the recent expansion of the Cold Lake M.D. Park, opening of the covered outdoor ice rinks in Ardmore and Cherry Grove, and the continued maintenance and construction of trails in the municipality.
On the Planning & Development side, staff have been concentrating on the updates to the numerous Area Structure Plans within our boundaries.
In Planning & Development, a review of the Municipal Lands Bylaw and the Land Use Bylaw will be undertaken, while the department continues to work its way through the Area Structure Plan reviews. These ASP reviews will help plan for the next 20 to 25 years of building and development in our hamlets, at our airport, and rural multi-lot subdivisions.
WHERE WE’VE BEEN
Ridge, the process to replace the Green Chairlift is well underway. The Aerial Adventure Park is now open. The chalet will undergo some renovations.
With Kinosoo Ridge, the finishing touches were put on the Aerial Adventure Park, with plans made to replace the Green Chairlift, turning the resort into a year-round attraction.

APPENDIX
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021
MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF BONNYVILLE NO. 87
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis for Opinion
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
(continues)
To the Reeve and Council of the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87 (the Municipality), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and the consolidated statements of operations, change in net financial assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Opinion
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Municipality's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Municipality or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Municipality as at December 31, 2021, the results of its operations, changes in net financial assets, and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Municipality in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Municipality's financial reporting process.
April 13, 2022
Independent Auditors' Report to the Reeve and Council of the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Municipality’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date or our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Municipality to cease to continue as a going concern.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
Auditors'(continued)Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Municipality’s internal control.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Chartered Professional Accountants
Edmonton, Alberta
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
The elected Reeve and Council of the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87 are composed entirely of individuals who are neither management nor employees of the Municipality. The Reeve and Council have the responsibility of meeting with management and the external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters, and financial reporting issues. The Reeve and Council are also responsible for the appointment of the Municipality's external auditors.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
In discharging its responsibility for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Metrix Group LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Professional Accountants, is appointed by Council to audit the consolidated financial statements and to report directly to them. The external auditors have full and free access to and meet periodically and separately with both the Reeve and Council and management to discuss their audit findings.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. The responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.

Pursuant to the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Municipality is required to fund the closure of its landfill site and provide for post-closure care of the facility. Closure and post-closure activities include the final clay cover, landscaping, as well as surface and ground water monitoring, leachate control, and visual inspection. The requirement is being provided for over the estimated remaining life of the landfill site based on usage.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment income is reported as revenue in the period earned. When required by the funding government or related act, investment income earned on deferred revenue is added to the investment, and forms part of the deferred revenue balance.
(c) Land Held for Resale
Investments are recorded at amortized cost. Investment premiums and discounts are amortized over the term of the respective investments. When there has been a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline, the respective investment is written down to recognize the loss. Gains on principal protected notes are recognized as income when sold.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenue as it is earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized as they are incurred and measurable based upon receipt of goods and services and/or the legal obligation to pay
Funds from external parties and earnings thereon restricted by agreement or legislation are accounted for as deferred revenue until used for the purpose specified.
(e) Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Liability
The consolidated financial statements of the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87 (the "Municipality") are the representations of management prepared in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF BONNYVILLE NO. 87
(h) Use of Estimates
Property tax revenue is based on assessments determined in accordance with the Municipal Government Act. Tax mill rates are established annually. Taxation revenues are recorded at the time tax billings are issued. Assessments are subject to appeal.
(j) Requisition Over-Levies and Under-Levies
DISTRICT OF BONNYVILLE NO. 87
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenditure during the period. Where management uncertainty exists, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared within reasonable limits of materiality Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Requisition tax rates in the subsequent year are adjusted for any over-levies or under-levies of the prior year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
Over-levies and under-levies arise from the difference between the actual property tax levy made to cover each requisition and the actual amount requisitioned.
(g) Tax Revenue
Year Ended December 31, 2021
If the actual levy exceeds the requisition, the over-levy is accrued as a liability and property tax revenue is reduced. In situations where the actual levy is less than the requisition amount, the under-levy is accrued as a receivable and as property tax revenue.
MUNICIPAL
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Construction and borrowing costs associated with local improvement projects are recovered through annual special property assessments during the period of the related borrowing. These levies are collectible from property owners for work performed by the Municipality Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues to be received from local improvement assessments are recognized in full in the period the local improvement project costs are incurred and the passing of the related imposition by-law.
The Municipality has used estimates to determine an allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, employment benefit obligations, inventory valuation and the useful lives of tangible capital assets.

15. GUARANTEE
The debt limit is calculated at 1.50 times revenue of the Municipality (as defined in the Alberta Regulation 255/2000) and the debt service limit is calculated as 0.25 times such revenue. Incurring debt beyond these limitations requires approval by the Minister of Municipal Affairs. These thresholds are a conservative guideline used by Alberta Municipal Affairs to identify municipalities that could be at a financial risk if further debt is acquired. The calculation taken alone does not represent the financial stability of the Municipality Rather, the consolidated financial statements must be interpreted as a whole.
14. ACCUMULATED SURPLUS
The Municipality has guaranteed up to $500,000 of an overdraft protection for the Bonnyville and District Leisure Facility Corporation. As at December 31, 2021, no amounts had been drawn on the bank overdraft (2020 - $NIL).
