Perry Savoie announced that as the representative for Marsh Lake, he was willing to attend the Federation of Canadian Municipalities AGM in Edmonton in May. AYC is willing to supply each representative attending with $2500 toward expenses for the trip. Council will need to send AYC an invoice in order to receive the funds before the conference date. Savoie suggested an in camera meeting with Council, in order to discuss Council’s position on a number of AYC issues, including the restructuring of the AYC board in order to create a voting member from among the currently non-voting associate members. Savoie stressed the importance of being an active member of the AYC, and the benefits available in the form of information involving funding for communities and influence on future policies. AYC has it’s own influence at the federal level, through the FCM, and Council should be staying current on the activities happening at that level. 6. New Business. A resident of Judas Creek has brought up concerns about dog control in Marsh Lake. Since it has been some time since Council last reviewed the need for animal control in the community, it was decided to add the issue to next month’s agenda for a public discussion. At that time it should be decided if Council wishes to be included in the dog act review process. Chair Taggart announced the Marsh Lake Landfill Society has received a number of new volunteers to sit on the committee, and will be preparing for the summer staffing and information distribution. 7. Adjournment. The next meeting will be on March 10, 2004. Motion # 4. Motion THAT the meeting be adjourned. Moved by Helen Smith, Seconded by Mike Larsen. Vote: 5 in favour. Motion # 4 Carried.
