MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL
COUNCIL CHAMBERS TUESDAY, June 18, 2019 at 7:00 p.m.
• Staff opened up the reception center for the Widewater evacuation yesterday. We had nearly 250 people register.
• We are working with the Province on a retroactive grant towards our contribution to the Vanderwell Lodge. It appears that we will be getting $93,101. We could put this into our building reserve.
• We have been working with FCM on our grant application for over $1 m to be used for the sewage lagoon upgrades. They have told us that they now have all the required information, but it could take up to 5 months to determine if we receive it.
• We have had our counteroffers accepted for two lots in Fournier.
Finance: • Reconciling all the costs related to the evacuation and the emergency alert is a huge task. We learned
a lot from last year’s flood on what is required for the DRP applications.
• There are about 145 meters left to change. Bookings have slowed down to a trickle and the employee hired to change the meters has left. $300 has been added to the bills of residents who have not had their meter changed yet. This will be removed if they have their meter changed in June. We will have to pay the supplier the $300 core charge for these residents so there will be no refund at a later date. We will also be reverting to the 24 m3 minimum charge for those people who don’t have a meter, which was our standard prior to all the meter problems. They will have their service cut off eventually if they do not have a meter. We will include another brightly colored letter with the bills in the remaining accounts.
• We are seeing a large increase in billing for the airport due to the traffic volume.
• There have been few issues with taxes. Taxes are due this month.
• Working on second quarter GST returns.
Operations and Utilities
• Repairing water leaks in the South East and North East
• We are still analyzing the water on the temporary storage tanks to determine what can be done with it.
• Hot crack sealing of pavement has been completed.
• Roads are being graveled this week.
• Working on ditch remediation
• Levelling the site for the Riverboat Daze Midway.
Planning and Development
• Issued 5 Lemonade Stand Permits.
• Completed a Bylaw for the Sign Regulations which were considered and recommended by the Sign Steering Committee.

COUNCIL CHAMBERS TUESDAY, June 18, 2019 at 7:00 p.m.
• Signed an amending agreement for our FRIAA Grant to extend the project by three months.
• Met with a developer for a potential of three development permits for new housing starts.
• Met with Chamber of Commerce again regarding Riverboat Daze Planning. Received their applications and Emergency Actions Plans.
• Completed amendments to the Food Truck Policy.
• Made some minor modifications to the Special Event Permit and Guidelines with respect to booking parks and sports fields in ActiveNet.
Fire Department:
Fire crews have deployed to High Level to assist. There were 8 calls from June 10-16. Total calls to date are at 182 -4-MVA’s -101 Main ST SE/HWY 22 & HWY 754/HWY 2 Boston Drive SW/TWP RD 660/RD 13 -1-Other-Tornado-East Fawcett Lake -1-Wildland Fire-HWY 44/TWP 690 -1-Duty Officer-115 11 AVE SW -1-Medical Assist -12 AVE/2AVE SW Projects:
• Regional Waterline Intake and Pumping Station - The intake station construction is complete and the commissioning activities have been taken as far as they can at this point. The 30 day acceptance test is waiting for the completion of the pipeline project.
• Regional Waterline Pipeline Project - The pigging of the line is complete and the contractor started working on the final connection at the Water Treatment Plant when they discovered they had misjudged the size of the existing intake line, so they are on hold for a couple of weeks while they wait on the delivery of some adapter couplers. The current plan is to start the WTP tie-in next week. Once the tie-in is complete later in June we will perform a final end to end pressure test and when that test passes, we will move into the 30 day performance test phase.
• Main Street North Water Line Replacement Project – All customers, both TOSL and MDLSR along Main Street and along Tamarack Road have been connected to the new line. The remaining tie-in at the corner of Tamarack Road and Balsam Road was completed 2 weeks ago, but we have discovered a leak coming from that area and have isolated that section of line. We are going to start digging again tomorrow to find and repair the leak. We have completely shut in the old 1960’s carbon steel line and have started the cleanup and final grading work along the line to close out the project.
• 5 Ave NW between 5 St and 8 St NW Road Rehabilitation Project – The completion of the paving, concrete and landscaping will proceed now through to completion. The LSLRHA has determined their project may not be ready to kick off for a few months yet, so we have worked with them to come up with an alternate solution for water and sewer service connections off 6 Ave NW. Our contractor should be mobilizing back during the first week in July to begin work.
• Sewage Lagoon Upgrade Project – The project has been progressing very well. The new SAGR beds have been brought up to final grade, the forms and cell liners installed and the underground piping is currently being installed, followed by the gravel beds. The work on transforming the existing Cell 2 from a drying cell to an active treatment cell is also progressing well. The new blower building is

COUNCIL CHAMBERS TUESDAY, June 18, 2019 at 7:00 p.m.
now in place, which will be followed by the mechanical and electrical work to install the 5 new blowers inside the building.
• Hilltop Reservoir Piping Replacement Project – The project is in the detailed design phase with engineering and design currently in progress and the tender package going out in June, with construction scheduled to start in September. Existing hilltop reservoir isolation valves have been located and tested to confirm they are all functional in preparation for the isolation of the reservoir during construction. Control system testing at the WTP is also being performed in preparation for the isolation of the hilltop reservoir during construction
• Lift Station C - New Forcemain Project - Engineering and design is in progress and once complete, the tender package will be prepared in 2019 but will not be sent out for RFP until the 2020 budget is approved.
• Sawridge Lift Station Modifications – Contractor has completed the cleaning and valve replacement in the wet well side, so the critical bypass pumping work is now complete. The dry well side discharge piping is nearly complete, and the installation of the new circulation pumps in the wet well side is complete. The overall project scope includes installing a new recirculation pump system to reduce the frequency of cleaning the inlet cells and also the repair and putting back into service the second discharge line to the sewage lagoon as it has been out of service for a few years. They should be complete this project by the end of this week
• Town Shop Yard – Salt Water Remediation Work – Provided contractor with a notice to proceed with the summer pumping activities on site. We determined that we will require another year of pumping with two pumps and also extending the weeping tile trench 30 meters into the remaining “Red Zone” of underground salt deposits. To reduce costs, the Town crews will extend the trench using our equipment and materials. Pumps to be installed on Monday next week.
• LSL Regional Housing Authority – Holding weekly project design meetings with Stuart Olsen Construction and we are working on the conceptual design phase of the project. It appears the project funding has been secured now as well and the location has been determined. On site construction should start in Q4 of 2019 with a projected completion date of Q4, 2020.
• 2019 Capital Projects Budget – Working on the 10 Year Capital Project Plan to have it ready for review with Council during the June 18 Council Meeting.
• DRP Claim for the 2018 Flood and Wind Event – Submitted the detailed application forms and sent off to the DRP group of the Alberta Government on April 12 so our full claim can be processed. The DRP has already sent us a cheque for $125K for advance payment on our initial claim for the flood control and cleanup work that was done during and immediately after the flood event. The DRP field engineer came out 2 weeks ago to review all the projects with us and basically told us that we are to proceed with the work we have proposed in our claims and submit the invoices for payment and at that time the DRP will determine how much they will pay out for each claim.
• Barton Park and Walking Trail Repairs – Contractor started work on the Barton Park parking lot and trail system and are making very good progress and nearing completion. The project consists of the re-construction of the Barton Park parking lot, new walking trails in the park and also including the repair/replacement of the 2 sections of trails (one behind RMHS and the other behind the College) along the Sawridge Creek that were compromised during the 2018 floods.
• Lift Station D Replacement – Held a project scoping and preliminary engineering kickoff meeting on April 4 and have started evaluating the site options and piping routing. Scoping and engineering is now

in progress and will be completed in 2019 with construction planned for 2020 if approved in the budget for next year.
• CN Rail Crossing Lights at Caribou Trail – This project is to install rail crossing lights at the Caribou Trail crossing. Contacted CN Rail to see if this project was approved for 2019 construction and they said they have not heard from Transport Canada yet if this project has made the 2019 projects list.
• TOSL Drainage Master Plan Review – Meeting held in April to do an internal review of the Drainage Master Plan that was developed in 2010 to ensure we are familiar with the report’s recommendations prior to starting the Alberta Environment and Parks sponsored “Slave Lake Flood Hazard Study”. The AEP has started their work on the Flood Hazard Study and we will wait for the results of that study to help us determine our next steps is to begin implementing any flood control infrastructure. Administration will provided a Drainage Master Plan “Refresher” to Council during the May 14 Council Meeting.

TOWN OF

REPORT TO COUNCIL MEETING OF JIM 2, 2019
FROM: Garry Roth DATE: June 25,2019
Subject: Pool Assessment
PURPOSE
This report will present information contained in the pool assessment, performed bySodoEFG Architecture Inc. it willalso present some additional considerations in terms ofoperational models and future service levels.
BACKGROUND
The Northern Lights Aquatic Centre (pool) is owned by and attached to the Northern LakesCollege (NLC). The Town of Slave Lake (TOSL) operates the pool based on an operatingagreement. Simply put, the TOSL provides staff to operate the pool, and pays for 50% ofmost operational expenses while the NLC pays for the remainder of operational expensesand 100% of some capital costs (such as building envelope, HVAC, major electrical,roofing, etc.). Typically, any repairs are discussed and agreed to between the TOSL andNLC each year, for budget considerations and pool shutdown planning.
The pool was constructed starting in 1989. It has had several improvements throughoutits history with the most recent renovation in 2012. The pool facility contains a 25 metre
pool, with a “zero entry” feature, hot tub, water slide, and ancillary facilities (administrationoffice, viewing area, change rooms, mechanical rooms, basement, etc.).
In 2019, SodoEFG Architecture Inc. (Sodo) was contracted to carry out a completebuilding assessment of the pool. The costs of this study were equally shared by TOSLand NLC. This study looked at overall building/facility, using specialized consultants asfollows:
Architectural: SodoEFG Architecture Inc. (Grande Prairie, AB)Structural: Grubb Engineering (Red Deer, AB)Mechanical: J. Davis Engineer (Grande Prairie, AB)Pool: AME Group (Calgary, AB)Electrical: Wave Engineering (Grande Prairie, AB).
Each consultant has provided its own report and analysis to Sodo, NLC and the TOSL.
Pool Assessment - Garry Roth, Director of Community Services Page 22 of 74
Report to Council Page 2 of 4Pool Assessment
In general, Sodo’s report shows that the pool is well maintained and in good overallcondition. No major facility issues or deficiencies were observed or reported. Some ofthe more minor items have already been addressed by NLC. They did note that many ofthe pool components and related equipment are nearing the end of its life cycle and willneed to be addressed.
The executive summary of the report is attached to this report. Overall, the anticipatedcosts of the upcoming repairs total $1.65 million. This can be phased over a number ofyears and willneed to be done in consultation with the NLC.
Customer Service:
In addition to the items outlined in the report, any consideration for renovation should alsofactor in customer service & aesthetics. These were not significantly identified by theconsultants as their scope was to provide an assessment of the existing facility. From acustomer service perspective, ifa renovation were to take place, with a significant closureof the facility, customers would expect to see changes to the pool and its functionality, notjust repairs to systems and equipment.
Some of the ideas discussed include:o Fleplacement of all lockers and washroom stalls;o Repainting of interior walls throughout the pool and locker rooms;o Replacing the pool tank surfacing (remove the existing surfacing and investigate
either a thermoplast surface or a pool liner);0 Potentially adding some additional features within the pool (climbing wall, swim
against jets, spray jets, etc.); ando Potentially adding other building components (steam room, on-deck classroom,
relocating the main entrance, relocating the climbing wall, etc.).
A very high level assessment of these factors are estimated to cost in the range of $3million,with the addition of building components representing the majorityof the expenses.
New Pool vs. Renovation:
In 2016, the City of Grande Prairie was investigating adding another indoor pool that wouldhave been a similar configuration to our existing pool. A partnership with an “NGO”wasfactored into that investigation. The analysis by the NGO found that $10 millionwas theapprox. cost of constructing a very basicfacility which included a 25 m. pool, hot tub, somefeatures (possibly a water slide and steam room), and basic ancillary services (changerooms, small office, etc.). Instead the City replaced their existing 25 m. outdoor pool(complete removal and replace pool basin, add water slide, and renovate existing ancillarybuilding) for a cost of approx. $5 million.
One thing to factor in looking at other facilities is comparing similar projects.Administration has looked at a number of projects that factor in pools into multi-plex
Pool Assessment - Garry Roth, Director of Community Services Page 23 of 74
Report to Council Page 3 of 4Pool Assessment
facilities. These costs are hard to breakdown into fair comparables in terms of just pool
0CU):—o-(0
Second consideration when one looks at constructing a new pool, is the operational costs.At present, operational costs are shared with NLC. If the TOSL were to construct a newpool, it likely would need to pay 100% of the operational costs. In our current pool, if theTOSL had to pay 100% of costs, it is estimated that the additional costs would be at leastapprox. $300,000 per year, plus 100% of future capital repairs.
Financial Implications:
As the pool is owned by the NLC and operated by the TOSL, thecosts (as already noted)are shared. The assumption is that this would continue to be the case for capital repairsand improvements. As well, the timeline that the consultants have identified is arecommendation. If required it could be adjusted somewhat. If a more significantrenovation is considered, investigation into grants needs to be completed. One idea is anapplication for CFEP grant (which isn’t available to municipalities but is available tocolleges). If it is possible to share funding between the TOSL, NLC and grants, theproject(s) may become much more affordable.

Attention: Mr. Paul Chaulk & Mr. John Buck
Reference: Northern Lakes College, Slave Lake Campus 8. the Town at Slave LakePool Facility Assessment
Dear Mr. Chaulk & Mr. Buck.
At the request of Northern Lakes College, SodoEFG Architecture Inc. and its consultants wereretained to provide an overview condition assessment of the Pool Facility. The scope of theassessment was to provide a perspective ot the anticipated remaining lifespan of the facility, itscomponents and the potential costs involved in reasonably extending its life expectancy.
Consulting team members include the below and their respective reports are attached.a Architectural SodoEFG Architecture- Structural Grubb Engineeringo Mechanical J. Davis Engineeringo Pool AME Groupa Electrical Wave Engineering
The condition of the existing facility and systems serving the pool area at the Northern Lakes CollegeSlave Lake Campus was observed during a site visiton April I 7, 2019. The following report was basedon visual observations of the facility and included a review of the original design drawings. Opinionsof the overall condition of the various systems within the facility have been provided based on thesite observations and input from facility maintenance personnel on the general performance andserviceability of the systems. Some larger planned maintenance projects were identi?ed andopinions of probable construction cost are presented for these projects.
We would recommend including the major maintenance items in a planned maintenanceschedule. A qualified consulting team should be retained to prepare detailed tender packagesfor each project so that competitive prices could be sought from qualitied contractors forinstallation of the work.
Should you have any questions. please contact the undersigned.

Executive SummaryThe facility isconsidered to be well maintained and in good overall condition with no major facility
issues or deficiencies observed or reported. As anticipated, the Pool Components and relatedEquipment are nearing the end of their service life and should be addressed within 1 to 2 years. In
our opinion, by addressing noted items and regular continued maintenance, the facility couldcontinue to last for the foreseeable of 25 years or more.
RecommendationsDetailed recommendations and timeframes are outlined in each of the specific reports, and aregenerally broken out as per the below.
Pool Assessment - Garry Roth, Director of Community Services Page 28 of 74

Background Information
The Northern Lakes College Slave Lake Campus was constructed circa 1989as a post—secondaryeducational facility containing approximately 8,500 m2 (92,000 ft2) of occupied space over twofloor levels.with a small basement. The facility included classrooms.office space, a gymnasium, aswimming pool, and associated support spaces. The scope of the report is limited to the Poolportion of the facility and its related systems.
ObservationsA general visual review of the site.exterior walls. interior of the pool space. and the mechanicalbasement was completed. The pool tank was fullat the time of review therefore a complete reviewof the inside of the tank was not possible. however photos of the empty tank from the 2012renovation showed the tank basin to be in good condition.
Site Drainage - Generally. the finished grade, mostly hardscaping, around the facility maintains arelatively low slope away from the building.
Roof Envelope — We understand the roof insulationand new 585 membranes were installed l0 yearsago. Generally the roof membranes appeared to be in good condition with no visible signs ofdeterioration or active leakage. Many SBSroofing systems, when expertly formulated, professionallyinstalled, and properly maintained, can last 20 to 40 years.
wall Envelope - The exterior of the building was visually reviewed and overall the existing brickveneer isperforming well with no visiblesigns of detrimental building movement or active leakage.Itisnoted that some localized damage was observed near the main entrance. Some of the existingmortar joints should be retooled and repaired in this area.
There are signs of moisture staining along the top of the brick wall as observed. Thisis due to theexisting flashing detail at the roof wall connection. The maintenance staff isaware of the issue andclean as necessary. We understand the next cleaning is scheduled occur this summer. We alsounderstand there are no reports of water leakage or infiltrationfrom the building envelope.
Mechanical BasementThe concrete basement walls and visible pool tank walls appear to be in good condition with nosigns of deterioration. Minor shrinkage cracks along the longer walls were noted. Structural steelcolumns that had been replaced during the 2012 renovation are showing signs of deterioration.These columns are subject to moisture and significant corrosion.
Pool Areawe understand the main pool deck was resurfaced during the 2012 renovation and appears to bein good condition. There are some reports of limited spalling.
Pool Assessment - Garry Roth, Director of Community Services Page 29 of 74
sodo efgarchitecture inc.
The interior concrete block walls surrounding the pool area appear to be in excellent conditionwith no visible signs of corrosion or building movement.
The main roof structure appears to be in very good condition with minimal signs of corrosion ordeterioration as the finishcoat paint is in good condition. Based upon our limited review it appears
the top coat is in good condition and localized chipping was noted at a few locations. Where
chipping has occurred. the primer appears to be in good condition.
It is understand that a salt-water chlorination system is being considered in a future equipmentchange over. Due to the corrosive nature of salt systems. it is not recommended to retro?t a saltchlorine system into this building.
RecommendationsBased on our observations it appears that the facility has been well maintained since its originalcompletion. The finishes and exposed structural elements appear to be in good condition. Withsome minor repairs and a continued maintenance program, it isour opinion that this building couldcontinue to perform for the foreseeable future of 25 years or more. It is recommend the following
items be addressed.
o Repair of the damaged brick veneer where applicable to maintain the building envelope
and prevent moisture infiltration that could deteriorate the structural elements. Clean the
exterior brick and re-point the mortarjoints to maximize the longevity of the veneer system.
we understand this item isongoing and already part of the maintenance program.o Remove all loose/chipped paint and re-paint the pool structural elements with compatible
epoxy based top coat to ensure continued protection of the steel elements.- Maintain the paint seal to all concrete block walls to minimize moisture infiltration into these
walls.o Repair spalling pool deck surfacing as necessary.
