Southern Alberta Newspapers

The following are selected briefs from the regular Jan. 19 meeting for Vauxhall town council.

Agenda
Council approved the agenda with the addition of two items under new business: ORRSC request and M.D. of Taber recreation funding. Municipal Affairs Letter Town CAO had received a letter stating that the Town of Vauxhall’s 2024 Municipal Accountability Program (MAP) review has been completed to the ministry’s satisfaction.

ORRSC Request
The Oldman River Regional Services Commissions submitted a request of support to council. Mayor Kim Cawley noted in previous years, the town donated $344, which they matched with their donation to Bow River Basin Council, as they were “smack dab in the middle of both rivers”.

M.D. of Taber Rec Funding
The town received a letter from the Municipal District of Taber, informing them that the town’s request for funding of $700,000 towards the rec facility was approved, with a funding agreement. Coun. Paul Ballard noted it was a “standard agreement”.
