During their most recent meeting, the County of Grande Prairie council approved several funding requests and reallocations.
Council opted to reimburse $381,999 to the Town of Wembley for expenses related to upgrading Township Road 712 between Range Road 82 and Range Road 83.
When it comes to budget reallocations, the county chose to direct their administration to reallocate just over $99,000 from the ongoing Clairmont Landfill Cell Four construction project to the Tarp Shed Replacement project at Clairmont Landfill to cover some estimated costs. Additionally, council approved a budget reallocation of $225,000 to address “outstanding” repairs to maintain the county’s water and sewer systems.
On top of the budget reallocations, the county approved additional funding for the Recreation Assistance Program up to $5,000 for 2024. Officials describe the move as one to support the program’s continued collaboration between the Family and Community Support Services Department and the Recreation and Culture Department.
Nitehawk was also a topic of conversation during the meeting, as council directed county administration to send a letter to the MD of Greenview and the City of Grande Prairie to seek formal engagement on an inter-municipal, long-term funding agreement for the facility.
