Correction (Jan. 27 at 11:38 a.m.): The Review reported an error regarding the County of Paintearth Jan. 12 meeting agenda item 7.A. A Request from Ratepayer for Reimbursement was retracted at the request of the ratepayer and therefore was not discussed at the meeting. The Review apologizes for this error.
Nomination deposit bylaw
The Nomination Deposit Bylaw is a bylaw that governs the process of nominees, submission of paperwork and more for the upcoming municipal election.
The nomination period began on Jan. 1 as new rules were enacted by Municipal Affairs.
The bylaw was given all three readings after administration shared that a sentence had been missed previously.
The addition of allowing debit and credit card payments for the 2021 general election year has now been included.
Missed change
Council passed two motions.
The first was to correct a small error in calculations for the Provincial Education Requisition Credit (PERC) application in the amount of $2.33 and the other was to write off three tax roll accounts in the amount of $57,109.46 and apply the PERC for $8,682.43.
Brownfield Recreation Centre donation
Council was notified of a grant cheque given to the Brownfield Recreation Centre for $1,250 from the Battle River Community Foundation.
It was awarded from the David Creasy Memorial Fund and will be used toward future recreational programming.
