Purpose
To provide Council with the final Parkland County and Summer Village of Seba Beach Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework Bylaw.
Summary
Section 708.28 of the Municipal Government Act requires Parkland County to complete intermunicipal collaboration frameworks (ICF's) with all municipalities sharing common boundaries where neighbouring municipalities are not members of a growth management board (Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board). All ICF's must be completed by April 2020.
On September 24, 2019, Council approved Bylaw 2019-10 Parkland County and Summer Village of Seba Beach ICF. In February 2020, Council requested changes to the ICF which requires the rescinding of the current ICF (Bylaw 2019-10) and replacement with a new ICF (Bylaw 2020-02). Council gave first and second reading to Bylaw 2020-02 on February 11, 2020.
Since then, Administration, in discussions with the Summer Village, has amended provisions in the ICF related to the costs of mediation and arbitration services. Specifically, Section 9 ("Dispute Resolution") was amended so that the costs of mediation and arbitration would be shared proportionately, consistent with with Section 708.41 of the Municipal Government Act.
Proposed amendments to the ICF are highlighted in red text font in Attachment 2. Attachment 3 presents the final ICF, as amended, for approval.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications:
If Council approves ICF Bylaw 2020-02, the existing ICF Bylaw (Bylaw 2019-10) will need to be rescinded. Bylaw 2019-10 is included as Attachment 4.
Administration anticipates that the Summer Village of Seba Beach will proceed with first,second and third reading of the final ICF at the end of March 2020. Final approval of the Parkland County and Summer Village of Seba Beach Intermunicipal Development Plan (Bylaw 2019-09) is also expected to be approved by the Summer Village Council by the end of March 2020.
Final approval of Bylaw 2020-02 will fulfill all requirements under the Municipal Government Act Section 708 for formal collaboration with the Summer Village of Seba Beach.
