Town of Canmore Strategic Plan

Approved on April 17, 2012 resolution #145-20125

Page 6: 2013 ToC Budget and Business plan

While providing high quality services to the residents of Canmore, the Town also looks to the future to think strategically about our community and the lives of our residents and visitors. This Strategic Plan functions as a big picture, strategic document that lays the foundation for the work that the Town of Canmore will do over the next 10 – 15 years.

The goal of strategic planning is to bring together the public, staff, and Council in the development of a common long term vision, goals, and strategic initiatives. The purpose of strategic planning is to create a document that acts as a reference for management and staff in guiding decision making, provides useful information at budget evaluation time, and as a tool to communicate strategic priorities to the community. This plan is intended to be that document.

The Strategic Plan guides Administration in an integrated manner to create annual business plans, develop budgets, and establish a performance measurement system. This system will be used to measure the progress of the organization toward our vision, goals, and strategic initiatives.

2013-2015 Strategic Plan

Town of Canmore l Strategic Plan

The Mountain Peak is what we aspire to reach. It provides a focal point for all staff that serves as a connection between the highest level of planning and the day-to-day activities of our employees.

The Natural Step is the sustainability framework that we use for decision making and analysis.

Guiding Documents are the key documents used to develop our vision, goals and strategies (see Appendix).

Goals identify what we are trying to achieve as we work toward our vision.

Strategic Initiatives define specifically the ways we will achieve our goals.

Actions identify what actions we will take to accomplish our goals.

Service Areas represent all the Town of Canmore departments and the products and services they provide.

The Town of Canmore’s Corporate Values shape the culture and define the character of our organization. They guide how we behave and make decisions.

The Community includes all residents of Canmore and the wider Bow Valley area.

Our Strategic Plan was developed with the collaboration and co-operation of Council and the management team. Council and Senior Administration spent three days together discussing the long term vision for Canmore, community values, trends, planning needs and reviewing organizational strengths and challenges. The strategic planning process included:

• Developing a vision for Canmore and the future

• Identifying goals and strategic initiatives that will allow us to achieve our vision

• Reviewing key guiding documents to ensure inclusion of key components (the guiding documents are briefly reviewed in Appendix A).

Between each strategic planning day, Senior Administration reviewed the results with Managers and gathered their input and compiled information for review with Council at the next planning day. The entire Strategic Plan will be reviewed and updated every three to five years.

The Integrated Planning Cycle is a holistic approach to strategic planning that links the vision, goals, and strategic initiatives to business planning, budget, and performance measurement. A full review of this Strategic Plan will be done every three to five years. Council and Senior Administration will work together to review and revise the vision, goals, and strategic initiatives, and priorities for the next three to five years will be set.

The Business Planning Cycle is a process that occurs annually. At the start of the year, Managers will report to Council on the performance of the past year. The current year’s priorities will be amended based on carry over items from the performance report. Council and Senior Administration will work together to review the strategic initiatives for the next year.

For example, in January/February 2013, Managers will report on performance on 2012 initiatives. Carry overs will be added to 2013 initiatives. Council and Senior Administration will review strategic initiatives for 2014 and establish priorities.

In March and April, Managers take the work done by Council and Senior Administration to their Service Area. Each Service Area will develop actions and work plans based on the established priorities.

In May and June, a list of proposed actions that respond to the established priorities for 2014 will be presented to Council for their input. Budget guidelines are then set and managers create budgets for 2014 actions.

In September and October, a draft business plan will be created. At this time, a draft budget will also be created showing the link between 2014 established priorities and actions and any budget requirements associated with those actions.

In December, the 2014 Business Plan will be finalized and approved at the same time as the 2014 budget.

VISIonCanmore is a resilient and vibrant community socially, economically, and environmentally. Its strength is in its resourceful and engaged citizens, who thrive together on the strength of the community’s heritage, long-term commitment to the diversity of its people, and health of the mountain landscape.

moving Toward the VisionThe Strategic Plan is a guiding document used to bring greater alignment between the Town of Canmore daily operations and the long term vision. It ensures that Administration delivers on Council’s priorities by helping direct the development of business plans, budgets, programs and activities and performance measures that will influence day to day decisions throughout the corporation. The intent is that all staff will utilize the Strategic Plan when developing department business plans and budgets, which will define priorities and influence the culture of the organization.

Ultimately, our success as an organization is measured by how well the whole organization provides service and moves us toward the vision. It is a key responsibility of Town staff and residents to ensure that we continue to work together and that our actions and directions support the community vision. This means we must commit to:

• Discussing the vision and how it relates to the services we provide

• Developing strategies to help guide Town decisions and practices

• Providing clear direction to ensure that individual actions support organizational effectiveness

Administration will work with each successive Council to affirm, revise, and update the Strategic Plan.

Appendix A

Town of Canmore l Strategic Plan

Key Background Information

This Strategic Plan is largely informed by several guiding documents. Each is briefly described here. Details on each can be found on the Town of Canmore website at www.canmore.ca

Mining the Future (MTF) – A Community Vision for Canmore

In 2006, Canmore’s Mayor and Council asked the community to create a vision for the future of the town. At the heart of the project, called Mining the Future was the question: What kind of community can we as citizens imagine Canmore becoming in the years ahead? The community identified key community values that guide our actions as Canmorites. They should inform all of our thinking about the future, and all of our actions as we move toward that future.

The foundational values are:

1. Sustainability, which means that as a community we integrate our social, economic and environmental activities in ways that will enable us to meet the needs of the current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

2. Diversity, which means managing our community in ways that attract, include, keep, and celebrate a wide range of people, perspectives, and lifestyles.

3. Connectedness, which means managing our community in ways that foster a shared sense of belonging among all citizens. A sense of belonging allows individuals to take responsibility for themselves while bearing in mind they are part of a larger community.

Building on our foundational values, we as Canmore citizens share five guiding principles – important community ideals that constitute the pillars of the vision:

Identity

Economic Sustainability

Social Fabric

Environmental Stewardship

Civic Leadership and Governance

Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP)

In June 2010 Town Council approved the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP). This document provides the Town of Canmore (both the corporation and the community) with a series of goals for achieving environmental sustainability. The ESAP has been developed to update, integrate and expand the Town’s strategies, programs and initiatives related to environmental stewardship and to ensure effective implementation of the community’s vision related to environmental stewardship. A formal performance measurement and reporting system is also part of this plan.

Comprehensive Housing Action Plan (CHAP)

The Comprehensive Housing Action Plan (CHAP) identifies a range of implementable housing policies and actions to meet the community needs for a broad continuum of housing. The CHAP recommends that stakeholders periodically reconvene to review progress made on the plan priorities and action items and ensure that the desired objectives are being met. Therefore, stakeholders were reconvened in February and March of 2011 to review and update the CHAP document.

Sustainable Economic Development and Tourism Strategy (SEDTS)

The Sustainable Economic Development & Tourism Strategy was approved in 2010. The Strategy was planned to replace existing tourism and economic development plans that were prepared previously but were never formally accepted or approved by Councils of the time. The Strategy seeks to build upon existing strengths in the local economy, and to diversify economic activity.

Town of Canmore l Strategic Plan

Signposts to Sustainability (S2S)

Signposts to Sustainability is built upon and incorporates the values and principles of the Mining the Future Vision. An additional process of engaging the citizens of Canmore in 2008 (MTFII) included some of those people from MTF and expanded involvement to include new individuals and groups throughout the community. The Signposts document is best viewed in an integrated way, bearing in mind such overarching topics as; the cumulative effects of one decision versus another; the notion of limits to growth; implementation and accountability by Town Council to the citizens of Canmore; affordable housing; and transportation (with walking and biking, over vehicles).

Signposts to Sustainability was written to provide Town Council with a citizen’s based view on sustainability issues facing the town, as it steers community change and development in Canmore to meet the needs of current and future citizens. The document summarizes public input provided as part of the development of an initial Community Sustainability Plan that was not adopted by Council.

Municipal Development Plan (MDP)

The role of the MDP is to provide the policies and guidelines that will direct the future growth and development of the Town of Canmore. The Plan is primarily concerned with the orderly and economic distribution of land uses, the form of future development, and the protection of key natural areas that are critical to the ecological preservation of wildlife movements and habitats within the community, throughout the Bow Corridor, and beyond. The Plan defines the general type and location of development that will be appropriate in Canmore. This information will be used by Town Council and administration, residents, and landowners to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach to decision-making about future development within the Town. The MDP is regarded as the principle long-range land use planning instrument of the municipality.

The Natural Step (TNS)

The Town of Canmore has been actively using The Natural Step to engage in developing and implementing sustainability policies and practices within the organization and encouraging similar behaviour throughout the community. The Town of Canmore uses The Natural Step as a tool for implementation of our Mining the Future vision. It plays a central role in how we will enact many of the strategies outlined in this business plan. For more information on The Natural Step please visit our website (www.canmore.ca) or The Natural Step Canada’s website (www.naturalstep.ca).

Corporate Values

The Town of Canmore seeks to be an employer of choice in the Bow Valley. We support and encourage the health and well-being of our employees because we believe this improves the quality and efficiency of our service to the community. They should also be a reflection of how we interact with the community, neighbouring municipalities, and with our partners and customers. Our corporation is based on the following cornerstone values:

• Wellness: We will create harmony in our corporate, social, and natural environment

• Respect: We will treat others as we expect to be treated

• Integrity: We are open, honest, responsible, and trustworthy

• Service: We are committed to excellence in meeting community needs

• Teamwork: We are cooperative and empowering in achieving our goals

Town of Canmore 2013 Operating Budget Page 2 of 6

Key Highlights

The Town of Canmore faces a number of budget pressures across the corporation and development activity remains low. As a result, new assessment growth will be marginal and market values of assessed property are assumed equivalent to 2012 levels. The new residential growth of $20 million and new nonresidential growth of $2 million is expected to generate an additional $60k in tax revenue.

The Town faces the future from a relatively stable financial position and received an unqualified audit opinion on its 2011 consolidated financial statements which included cash-backed reserves of $23M, total debt at 40% of MGA defined debt limits, a net book value to cost of tangible assets of 0.77 (indicating an average 77% of capital asset life remains), asset to liability ratio of 7.47 and a financial asset to liabilities ratio of 1.15 (indicating assets greater than debt, and financial resources on hand to finance future operations).

The 2013 Operating Budget includes the following key highlights:

• Elevation Place – 2013 budget reflects a full year of operations for this new $39 million, 77,000

square foot facility. Significant work has occurred over 2012 to plan and prepare the organization to take on this new challenge. Revenue projections and operational costs have been based on sound rationale and consultation with industry experts. Direct facility operating costs are projected to have a cost recovery of around the 40% mark.

• Stand-a-lone Fire Department - The Canmore Fire-Rescue Department strategic plan was adopted by council on April 19, 2011. The annual budget for 2012 reflected three months as an integrated department and nine months as a stand-a-lone Fire-Rescue service. The 2013 plan is built on a fully implemented stand-a-lone Fire-Rescue service which represents a net $232k increase in operating expenses.

• Regional Transportation - The Bow Valley Regional Transit Services Commission (BVRTSC) was formally established on April 21, 2011. The 2013 operating budget requirement is $150k ($120k in 2012). This will increase in future years as buses, infrastructure, routes, and administration is added.

• Events Management – The Town of Canmore has seen tremendous growth in terms of events and celebrations over the last several years. Building on this, Town Council has identified a strategic initiative to further grow event opportunities in the downtown core. In order to support this, additional staffing resources have been requested in the departments of Arts & Culture and Streets & Roads.

• Community Arts Centre development – Start-up operational funding for the development of a Canmore Community Arts Centre within the vacated Canmore Public Library building is included in the 2013 budget and amounts to $90k

28

Page 29: 2013 ToC Budget and Business plan

Town of Canmore 2013 Operating Budget Page 3 of 6

• FTE Requests – Elevation place staffing requirements and related administrative support forms the bulk of the 2013 new FTE requests of 11.6 FTE’s.

In addition to the requested 4.3 FTE’s in Recreation, there is an additional 3.8 FTE’s related to Programming. These are contract services, fully cost recoverable. (Note 11.6 + 3.8 = 15.4 in total).

• RCMP Contract – A new 20-year contract for policing services was signed in mid-2012. The year-over- year budget increase includes additional costs related to the contract including facility leasing.

• Halt in Development – The 2013 budget assumes a continuation of slow development and growth. As a result, a development planning position will see a reduction in hours from 4 days per week to 2 days per week. Should planning or development activity increase (e.g. Three Sisters ASP), there will be increased development revenue that would offset any cost associated with additional staffing requirements.

• Utilities Infrastructure Required for Growth – Due to the continued slow-growth environment for development, there continues to be a need to fund approximately $1M in debt servicing costs (interest and principle) associated with water & waste water utility infrastructure that was been built to support expected growth. In each of the 2011 and 2012 budgets, $1.0M of municipal tax revenue was allocated from tax revenues to cover debt servicing costs. This represented a transfer of responsibility for utility-related costs, from a user pay to an assessed tax base philosophy. For 2013, it is proposed that the utilities model be re-established as a stand-alone non-tax supported model. As a result, the $1M in annual tax support going to utilities has been discontinued. Instead, it is recommended that user utility rates increase by 12% for the next three consecutive years to bring user pay rates back in line with costs.

• Solid Waste Collection/Recycling - Operations are 100% rate supported with expanded 2013 net operating expenses being offset by rate increases of 5% for Solid Waste Collections and 30% for Recycling (in support the enhanced recycling program initiative, “Beyond Curbside”). In 2012 the Town embarked on an enhanced recycling program that is to be fully rolled out to the community by mid-2013. The proposed recycling rate increases for 2013 are the equivalent of $21.60 per household.

• Funding of Capital Expenditures - The Budget Committee agreed with maintaining the existing policy

of allocating tax revenues to capital expenditures. This represents the equivalent of 5% of the prior year’s total municipal tax revenue or $885k [5% x $17.7M].

• Amortization of Tangible Capital Assets –The budget as presented does not include amortization expense as it is non-cash and not directly part of overall tax requirement and mill rate. For information purposes 2011 amortization expense was $5.4M. 2013 budgeted amortization will be equivalent to the amount reported in the 2012 audited financial statements (May 2013).

• Highlights for 2014 forward - Primarily centers on; Community Arts Centre development, Bow Valley Regional Transit Services expansion, Recreation Centre Pool redevelopment, increased cost recovery for Elevation Place, impact of Property Tax Force recommendations, and the transition to a Sustainable Tourism funding model.

2012 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Internal assessment - Conducted an internal assessment of program/service responsibilities and

2013-15 FCSS business plan action responsibilities resulting in the decision to replace the vacant Family and Community Worker .6fte position with a .8fte Program Coordinator.

• Pilot with catholic school - Launched a pilot project at Ecole Notre-Dame des Monts which included 24 classroom presentations, three for each class. The topics were decided in consultation with each teacher and delivered in May and June. The pilot was very successful, resulting in the school requesting FCSS submit a proposal outlining the cost and various services available if the Conseil scolaire catholique et francophone du Sud de l’Alberta board entered into a yearly agreement with FCSS.

• Presentation - Word of the success of the Canmore Volunteer Driver Program prompted an invitation from the Grey Matters Conference (sponsored by AMA, Edmonton Seniors Coordinating council and the Alberta Government) to provide a presentation of the program.

• Partnerships - Maximizing resources available to the community, by coordinating and partnering was very successful in 2012. FCSS worked with regional towns, agencies, and schools to deliver more than 20 community programs.

• Revenue: Grants – Previously transferred the community development portion of the ECD Community Response Grant, and related salaries, to the FCSS department (from BVPL department). This practice is discontinued so that all provincial grants related to Parent Link are reported within one Town department to the province.

• Salaries, Wages and Benefits – The community development portion of the ECD Community Response Grant has not been transferred to FCSS from BVPL as in previous years.

• Supplies and Energy – decreased due to less training and education for FCSS staff.

VARIANCES • Revenue: Grants – Provincial grants from Parent Link and Early Childhood Development will

increase for 2013. Previously transferred the community development portion of the ECD Community Response Grant, and related salaries, to the FCSS department, this practice is discontinued so that all provincial grants related to Parent Link are reported within one Town department to the province.

• Revenue: Transfer to Other – Decreased to reflect remaining balance of one time ECD Community Response Grant received in 2011 for use in 2011, 2012 & 2013. Carryover only 3 months of remaining funds into 2013 rather than 12 months in 2012.

• Salaries, Wages and Benefits – Increased funding from province (Parent Link and ECD Grants) allows for increase in salaries to staff. The community development portion of the ECD Community Response Grant has not been transferred to FCSS as in previous years.

• Admin and General Services – Decrease in ECD Community Response grant balance results in decreased expenses for ECD Coalition.

• Contracted Services – Decrease in ECD Community Response grant balance results in decreased expenses for ECD Coalition.

VARIANCES • Revenue: Sales and Rentals – Increased due to new leases associated with Elevation Place. • Revenue: Transfers and Other – Increased funding from reserve transfer to fund 1-time

operational projects. • Salaries, Wages and Benefits – Increased to fund FTE’s required to operate Elevation Place. • Contracted Services - Increased to fund required contracted services to operate Elevation Place and

to fund a backlog of one time operational projects. • Supplies and Energy – Decreases in power/gas utilities expected as a result of the pool closure at

the Canmore Recreation Centre are largely offset as a result of Elevation Place. Supplies increased predominantly due to material required to operate Elevation Place (e.g. pool chemical & janitorial supplies) and one-time projects costs in the ‘Facilities’ portfolio.

• Transfer to Reserve – Decreased in lieu of debenture reserve repayment for Volker Stevin land.

VARIANCES

• Revenue: Sales and Rentals - Increased due to a 5% increase in residential waste rates and projected new accounts and a 30% increase (or an annual increase of $21.60/home) in residential recycling rates to fund the ‘Beyond Curbside’ program.

• Salaries, Wages and Benefits – Increased due to a 0.5 FTE or the other half of an operator position approved for 2012 to support the ‘Beyond Curbside’ program.

• Admin and General Services – Decreased due to cellular phones expenses centralized in common services

• Contracted Services – Increased due to a 22% increase related to a new 3 year waste transfer and disposal contract.

• Supplies and Energy – Increased due to clothing and various supplies such as bags and waste container hardware.

• Borrowing Costs – Increased due to debenture in 2012 – Bylaw 12-2012 Enhanced Recycling • Transfer to Reserve – Increased to allow the budget to zero. SWS is rate model supported and all

variances in revenues and expenditures are offset through the transfer to or from SWS reserve. • Internal Transfers – Increased due to increases in fuels, fleet repair and maintenance and cellular

phones (to ensure SWS is rate supporting).

Project Description:

Replicate The Sense Of Community (SOC) survey in 2013. 2008 results have been used in Council's

discussions, and in Administrations planning. In 2008 the top 5 ammenities that contribute to sense of place and

the top 5 concerns:

Amenities:

1. Community pathways (Trails and Open Spaces Policy)

2. Restaurants/pubs/coffee shops/cafeterias

3. Proximity to Federal and Provincial Parks

4. Community events (Community Events policy)

5. Public Library/Art Gallery (Multiplex)

Concerns:

1. Being attacked by wildlife (Wildsmart)

2. Litter in streets and park spaces (Toward Zero Waste Policy)

3. Pedestrian safety at crosswalks and school zones

4. Movement of hazardous materials through the town

5. Use of pesticides

A SOC survey was completed in 2008. Replicating the SOC survey every 5 years will give the Town of Canmore

an idea of any changes or hot spots with regard to the overall subjective well-being of Canmore residents. The

same survey tool from 2008 will be used to ask a statistically valid sample group of residents quesions about

their sense of community. END

Sense of Community Survey

Project Number 1301Project Summary

Project Rationale:

The Sense of Community (SOC) survey is a tool used to track how the community is feeling about their sense of

belonging and safety in Canmore. It is directly related to the Town of Canmore strategic plan goals: 5 - Canmore

is a safe community, and goal 10 - Town of Canmore decisions are based on informed and accurate information

and deliberated in an open and transparent fashion. The SOC survey tool is a valid and reliable survey

methodology and serves to track trends over time.

The SOC survey should be replicated every 5 years to track the trends (e.g. 2018, 2023).

Using a tool that has already been used in the community supports the Town to anticipate the changing needs

and make-up of our community. Replicating the survey tool is economically feasible and prudent, familiar to the

community, is a proven method of providing information to the governing bodies in Canmore and is useful to

Town departments for planning programming and services. END

Options Considered:

The Town could rely on pure statistical objective data collection to predict the feel of the community. This data is

collected from various sources i.e. Community Monitoring Report, Economic and Tourism Studies etc. The

drawback for relying on objective data is that it does not involve the citizens in assessing the sense of our

emotional feeling, or "sense of the community", from community members.

The Town could develop a new survey tool to complete an assessment of the subjective sense of Canmore

residents. This would have a much higher expense than replicating the existing and already proven survey tool.

The Town could choose not to assess the community's sense of wellness at all. This option would not provide

the Town with reliable and valid data over time as to the opinion of residents. END

Project Description:

As part of the new community brand, Canmore Business & Tourism (CBT) and Administration would like to

partner to replace the pageantry in the Civic Centre. In 2013 CBT will replace the banners with the new

community brand banners. The banner pageantry in the Civic Centre will be an extension of the banners

throughout the community. This budget request is to replace the wall pageantry. This budget request covers

the costs for creating photos that will hang on the walls (Images of people in our community who are associated

with the brand), written descriptions for each image, and the placement of the brand story on the main wall (next

to Civic Centre reception).

The Sustainable Tourism and Economic Development Strategy (STEDS) identified the need for a clear

community brand. Significant work has been done over the past two years to develop this brand. With rollout of

the brand occurring in June 2012, it is time to begin implementation.

END

Options Considered:

Making no change to the current pageantry was considered. This pageantry has been up since late 2008. While

it has been an excellent exhibit that was well received in the community, it is time to refresh the civic centre

pageantry. The partnership with CBT keeps the project affordable for the town and provides an opportunity to

further support the community branding efforts currently underway.

Project Description:

Replacing desktop PCs with a planned approach prior to failure maintains existing service levels without

interruption, allowing staff to effectively serve the public. Older equipment is no longer covered by warranty and

therefore is more costly to operate. Also, older workstations may not be sufficient to satisfactorily run new

releases of software.

As equipment ages and technology changes, it becomes necessary to replace and update desktop PCs to avoid

service interruptions and increasing maintenance costs. Each year the town replaces a portion of our desktop

and notebook PC inventory that have reached the end of their lifecycle.

The Town purchases enterprise-grade PCs that ensure a longer operating life, increased reliability and lower

total cost of ownership through greatly reduced maintenance costs, even though the initial purchase price is

often higher than comparable consumer-grade equipment. Since adopting this purchasing practice in 2005, we

have greatly increased the uptime and reliability of desktop PCs as well as dramatically reducing repair costs.

Information Technology maintains Hardware Standards that are compliant with system requirements for

operating systems and software currently in use in our organisation, which are reviewed and updated annually.

We are working to rotate all workstation hardware on a four-year basis to ensure compatibility with current and

future releases of operating systems and software.

Implementing a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has also been investigated, which would extend the lifecycle

of workstation hardware to an average of seven years. With virtual desktops, the processing power is moved to

the servers which allows device independence on the client side and further promotes mobility and working

remotely scenarios. VDI may be implemented if it can fully meet the goals of this project and can be

accommodated within budget.

This project also includes the addition of desktop PCs to our inventory to accommodate the needs of new

positions within our organisation.

PC Replacement (2013)

Project Number 1305Project Summary

Project Rationale:

1.) Although materials are used to produce these products, System Condition 1 is partially supported by

purchasing from manufactures complying with the European RoHS directive, which is the restriction of the use

of hazardous substances (such as PVC, BFRs and phthalates) in electrical and electronic equipment. System

Condition 2 is also supported by the use of RoHS compliant products as well as purchasing from suppliers that

have recycling programs in place. Each new generation of equipment is also designed to be more energy

efficient which reduces emissions while maintaining a level of service.

2.) By keeping workstation hardware current, we are ensuring we have a flexile platform to support future

operating systems and software based on the needs of the organisation.

3.) Replacing workstations with an annual planned approach allows the Town to meet Goal 2b of our business

plan by maintaining a high level of service while avoiding increasing maintenance costs.

END

Options Considered:

1.) Extending the lifecycle of workstations has been considered, but since we have already adjusted our rotation

schedule from 3 years to 4 years extending it further would only increase repair and support costs as well as

incurring unexpected downtime.

GIS and Tax Roll Integration

Project Number 1307Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Benefits include:

Addressing:

Addresses are assigned by Planning but they are stored and maintained in Diamond. Using one central

database to search for addresses would provide a reliable source for the whole organization and help eliminate

address discrepancies.

Planning:

Many files and permits have a reference to a tax roll number and having the ability to search a parcel for tax roll

is often requested. This would create better efficiency when searching for information.

Finance:

Finance will be able to access an interactive map to quickly review parcels linked to a tax roll as well as legal

description and addresses.

Public:

As we are getting closer to having a public interactive map, residents would be able to search an interactive

map with their address and view their tax roll number.

Goal 5. Strategic Initiative c) Implement financial controls, processes and systems to ensure transparency and

accountability in municipal service delivery.

Project Description:

The Town’s website at www.canmore.ca has become the primary point of distribution of information to the public

and an essential vehicle for communication with residents. As such, it is important that the website be well

organized, relevant, timely and accessible.

The Town's current website was developed internally in 2008 for minimal costs. This site has limitations, is

becoming too large to manage in its current form and we no longer have the internal resources to perform a

website redevelopment. Our currently web offerings are also split across multiple platforms with differing layouts

and styles.

The market for consumer electronic devices that can access the Internet has evolved considerably since our site

was built. The usage of a wide range of computer and portable devices by the public make it desirable to

ensure a consistent and accessible website is available across all platforms.

This project will completely replace the website at www.canmore.ca with new layout graphic design, style,

navigation contained within a content management system. Additionally, all other web offerings including online

registration, online services and web mapping will be revamped to ensure a consistent experience across all

sites.

This project is dependent upon the Webmaster position being filled. While the project is possible without this

position, it will be more limited in scope.

Since this project is software and services based, its implementation has minimal impact of the TNS system

conditions.

This project supports all strategies in the Town's business plan by providing access to information for the public

on all Town programs and initiatives. Goal 5e, “Canmore has an informed and engaged citizenry” is the most

directly supported goal by providing a medium for communication and interaction with the community.

END

Options Considered:

Maintain the existing website. This would limit functionality to what we currently have.

Re-develop the site internally using a full time Webmaster. This will dedicate the webmaster to full time website

development and limit their ability to perform other duties such as TownNet expansion, site monitoring and

updating information. It will also limit the scope of this project.

Project Description:

The Canmore Wildland/Urban Interface Plan was initiated to identify present wildfire risk to development, and

the risk of development to the surrounding forest, in Canmore and the Bow Corridor. The plan was developed in

2010 under the guidance of a consultant and surrounding agencies.

Development of the plan included a review of past wildfire history, assessing present Wildland/urban interface

site hazard, and a review of existing municipal legislation and guidelines directing development, present

emergency response plans, and interagency cooperation and cross-training initiatives. Based on the findings,

legislative, vegetation management, structural, and infrastructure options are recommended to mitigate wildfire

risk in high and extreme hazard areas. A review of past fire history revealed 101 wildfires in the Town of

Canmore since 1990. The majority of these fires were during the spring and fall. Of the fires with known causes,

46% are caused by children, 26% by recreation, and 9% by the railroad. The data indicates that the potential for

a wildfire to threaten development in Canmore exists.

In the plan there is recommendations on public education, some of the recommendations are:

-Open houses in the communities selected for fuel modification

-Public information forums to encourage Fire Smart homes

-Engagement of business associations

Firesmart - Thinning Program (2013)

Project Number 1311Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Canmore's greatest risk to the community is wild fire, this project will ensure that there is a proactive current wild

fire management plan and high risk targets are identified and mitigated.

System condition 3 - reducing the degradation of natural resources based on the assumption that an extreme

wildfire would cause significant damage to natural vegetation and potentially to wildlife. While vegetation

rehabilitates after a fire, there would be damage to important natural resources that could negatively impact

natural resources in the Bow Valley for several years.

System condition 4 - helping people meet their basic human needs through an education program that aims to

decrease the risk and likelihood of a major wildfire in Canmore, which could threaten property and lives.

The wildfire master plan was completed in 2010 and will be actioned in 2012-16 (dependant on budget

approval) , this plan identifies areas around and in the TOC that will need fuel modification performed.

The Fire Smart Program will ensure that the following goals are maintained:

Goal 5a: Canmore has an informed and engaged citizenry

Goal 5b: Canmore is a safe community

Goal 5e: We use "Best practices" to delivery effective and efficient service.

END

Options Considered:

Cancellation of the fuel modification plan

This would greatly impact our community as our highest threat is wild fire. The bow corridor is a perfect storm for

wild fire due to the prevailing winds and a narrow valley that has mature tree stands.

This option is not Recommended.

Project Description:

The Recreation Centre Pool Redevelopment is planned to occur at completion of the Elevation Place project.

With the addition of the new pool, the existing pool will require decommissioning. As the existing pool was a

major part of the existing Recreation Centre, the Town intends to reprogram and redevelop this existing facility.

As with Elevation Place, a series of public meetings are being considered to determine the desired direction for

this redevelopment.Public consultation commenced in the Fall of 2012 and will continue into 2013. Preliminary

design can commence in 2013, dependent on the proposed direction coming from the public consultation.

Specific details as to what programming elements will be as part of the redevelopment are currently unknown.

High level considerations to date have focused on a facility that would continue to support ice related

programming and potentially augment the programming with elements of dry land traing in a variety of forms.

The budget as presented is a place holder. A more detailed budget will be created as part of the prelinary design

in 2013, and then a final design wil be developed as part of the details, construction design. Spending in 2013

will only be on design.

Phase 1 will be the Rec Centre Pool Redevelopment. A subsequent budget request will be forthcoming in 2014

for construction. Phase 2, relating to the adjacent sportsfield redevelopment will occur at a later date to be

determined.

Rec Centre Pool Redevelopment (2013)

Project Number 1312Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Much of the Recreation Centre still has significant life and therefore it is prudent to reprogram the pool portion of

the building for community priorities determined through public consultation. Part of the redevelopment will

consider energy retrofitting of existing building envelop to ensure that practical improvements to achieve

environmental sustainability are implemented. Part of the redevelopment will also require upgrades to the

existing mechanical systems.

END

Options Considered:

Options are to be considered and evaluated as part of the public consultation process. Not redeveloping the pool

is possible, but not realistic. Leaving a major building asset vacant is not a realistic option.

Project Description:

394-1012 - Moved by Councillor Helder that council establish a 2013 capital project to develop a detailed facility

plan for a Canmore Community Arts Centre in an amount not to exceed $161,097.

Following Council direction and a 2012 capital project for the design component, the Community Arts Centre

Advisory Committee has been working a design to redevelop the existing library space into a community arts

centre. This would repurpose the space left vacant by the library move to Elevation Place.

The preliminary design has been estimated at a construction cost of $1.98 million, including all design fees,

professional service fees and furniture, fixtures and equipment.This amount does include amounts for roofing

replacement, and heating and mechanical system replacements that would have to be undertaken to the

building as it is approaching the end of its life cycle. It does however, make sense to include these components

into the overal redevelopment project, even though they are costs that would be incurred regardless of what the

space is repurposed for.

It is anticipated that future Council decisions will be required prior to expenditure of the construction portion of

the project is spent. The preliminary budget contains about $165,000 in professional and design fees that would

get the project to the point that a construction tender could be issued.

The capital project has been split into two parts: Design Phase and Construction Phase. This project represents

the design phase. The intention is to complete the detailed design such that it shovel ready for 2014. The floor

plan developed as part of the Canmore Arts Centre Advisory Committee (CACAC), will be used as a starting

point for design.

During this project, the key deliverables will be a Concept Design with a revised budget, a full set of detailed

design drawings that will be issued for tender, and specifications book, material and finishes book, and tender

documents.

Project Description:

The project involves a comprehensive review and rewrite of the MDP, the Town's principal, high level strategic

planning document for the community. Should the resolution of the Three Sisters receivership conclude in a

manner that addresses the issues that caused the cessation of the CSP process, then the Town should be in a

position to quickly move to update the MDP, using the large amount of public input material and policy

suggestions that resulted from the CSP process. There would be need for public engagement to reintroduce the

CSP material and the project costs would ensure that consultation and information could occur quickly. There

may be the need to engage consultants to expedite the project as required, but the project as funded would

ensure that the Town is prepared and ready should the receivership conclude.

Municipal Development Plan Update

Project Number 1314Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Through 2008 and 2009, the Town attempted to update the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and replace it

with the Community Sustainability Plan (CSP). With the CSP being threatened with litigation from the receiver

for the Three Sisters Mountain Village development, Council rescinded the CSP until such time as issues

related to wildlife movement on the Three Sisters property were resolved. It is possible that the receivership for

Three Sisters Mountain Village may conclude in 2012, thereby offering the opportunity to proceed with a version

of an MDP revision based on the large amount of work that created the CSP.

END

Options Considered:

It is possible to defer this project to a subsequent year. The existing MDP has been in place since 1999, and with

lower levels of development it can continue to function for the short term.

Project Description:

The lower Eagle Terrace, Cougar Creek, Canyon Ridge, Mountain View and Grotto Mountain Village

subdivisions are located on an alluvial fan where Cougar Creek discharges to the Bow River. The fan was

originally channelized with gabion grade control structures in the late 1960s by the Provincial Government as

part of highway upgrades. A sediment retention trap was constructed on Cougar Creek (by the Province)

upstream of the Town in 1982 to protect the first phase of development. The stepped channel bed profile has

since leveled naturally by erosion, and the sedimentation retention trap washed out during a flood in 1990.

The Town has since undertaken numerous channel stabilization and bank armouring projects between 1992 and

2006 in attempts to repair erosion and to control sedimentation deposited by flood waters. If erosion is left

uncontrolled the creek will eventually migrate and damage adjacent residential properties, road and rail

crossings, pedestrian bridge and pathways.

Sediment will also continue to be deposited at, and potentially block the Highway 1A and CP Rail crossings.

In 2005 the Town, Alberta Transportation and CP Rail agreed to investigate a more permanent solution for

controlling erosion and sedimentation problems within the channel. Administration’s preferred solution consists

of constructing a sediment trap upstream of Elk Run Boulevard to capture sediments originating from within Bow

Valley Provincial Park, completing heavy riprap armouring within the channel, and installing grade control

structures to prevent scouring.

This project is to complete the design and produce tender ready documents for the construction of remaining

bank armouring, grade control structures, and a sediment trap upstream of Elk Run Blvd based on AMEC's

2009 conceptual design.

A large section of armouring will be completed this fall as a result of the June 7th, 2012 flood event. With this

work completed, and our cost estimates updated based on the tendered prices, we estimate the remaining work

will cost roughly $3.5 - $4.0 million and possibly less if completed in 2013.

Project Description:

In 2012 a capital project was approved for paved pathway lifecycle rehabilitation along the north side of the CPR

tracks behind Bow Valley Trail and included a section of pathway in front of the Sage Bistro. The total project

budget was $550,000.

The portion of pathway in front of the Sage Bistro has been completed for $80,000. The remainder of the path

was left in-place as it was a detour route for pedestrians travelling to the Town Centre from Bow Valley Trail and

Benchlands Trail during the construction of Elevation Place. The unspent budget from 2012 is $470,000.

Instead of wipping funds to 2013 to complete the reconstruction of the pathway on the north side of the CPR

tracks Engineering feels a more efficient and effective use of the funds is as follows:

1) Complete a paved pathway on the south side of the CPR tracks between Railway Avenue and the current end

of paved path at Sobeys. This will create a continuous 2.5 m paved pathway between 17th Street and Railway

Avenue along the south side of the CPR tracks. Soil conditions on the south side have been assessed and are

felt to be better than those on the north side. $150,000

2) Downgrade the pathway on the north side of the CPR tracks to a 2.5m clay/gravel trail. During the Bow Valley

Trail Area Restructure Plan charrettes it was proposed that pedestrian accommodation be focused on Bow

Valley Trail as opposed to along the tracks. It was felt that with a complete paved pathway connection on the

better lit south side of the tracks paved pathway on the north side would be redundant. Additionally funds would

be better spent maintaining pathways along the front of Bow Valley Trail as opposed to along both sides of the

tracks.

This will maintain connectivity and significantly reduce ongoing maintenance costs. $230,000

3) Complete paved pathway trail rehab identified as needed in 2012. The 2012 budget only permitted $50,000

of trail maintenance while $140,000 was assessed as needed. $90,000

Project Description:

Transportation Master Plan updates are necessary to identify and plan future street upgrading projects needed

to accommodate growth. They also provide a general safety overview of the existing system, and can be used

to define offsite levies and developer contributions. TMPs should be updated on a five to ten year schedule,

depending on the recent rate of development to reassess assumptions and to re-evaluate priorities. The last

Transportation Master Plan update was completed in 2007.

The goal for this round of planning is to integrate transit, and pedestrian and cyclist master planning to create an

Integrated Transportation Master Plan. Additionally, an update of the engineering design guidelines

incorporating complete street standards will be included. This is a more comprehensive approach to

transportation planning, with the aim of reducing reliance on the automobile. A study reviewing options for a

town centre bus hub, including potential number of buses to accomodate, social and economic benefits, and

land and parking impacts will be undertaken as part of this project.

Transportation master planning will include a large component of community engagement. It is our hope to

leverage relationships with the BRZ, CBT, local community groups, schools, media, and BOWDA to ensure that

planning aligns with the desires and asperations of the whole community.

route system and decrease reliance on car use. Specific Action 3. Develop and implement an integrated

transportation master plan that identifies a target percentage for non-vehicular transportation.

Goal 7. Canmore's services and programs meet the needs of a diverse socio-economic population. b) Through

the Bow Valley Regional Trnasit Commission, create regional and local transit systems. 1. Create a downtown

bus shelter / terminal integrated with private and tourist operators.

END.

Options Considered:

Transportation Master Planning can be conducted as frequently or infrequently as is desired or can be afforded.

It has been six years since the last transportation master plan and during that time many social, and economic

factors have influenced the direction of transportation planning, as well as development in Canmore. In order to

properly plan to manage increasing traffic an integrated transportation master plan is required. Deferring

completion of this work would result in reactive projects to manage transportation growth that may, or may not,

align with the vision our residents have for our public places.

Project Description:

In 2012 Regional Transit begins between Canmore and Banff. The business plan for the Regional Transit

Commission alludes to local service in Canmore in the medium term.

The Commission approved bus route includes a stop on 10th street within the Town Centre. This location

provides an excellent opportunity to create a central bus stop that will accommodate passenger buses, tourist

buses, adventure tour operators, and regional transit.

Scope includes a bus stop on 10th Street, a plaza area, improved lighting, wayfinding signage, improved

pedestrian connectivity to the Civic corridor and Main Street, and a large bus shelter. A future phase of work will

expand parking, improve pedestrian connections. This work could possibly take place as part of Town Centre

Enhancements envisioned for 10th Street, Art Centre development, and enhancement to Town Centre lanes.

The attached concept design is an example only. The actual design will endeavor to meet the objectives of the

project in the most cost effective manner and will include stakeholder engagement.

Town Centre Bus Shelter and Plaza

Project Number 1321Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Goal 1. a) Specific Action 1. Develop and implement a comprehensive way finding program.

Goal 2. a) Grow event and celebration opportunities in the downtown core. b) Update and implement the

Downtown Enhancement Concept Plan for 10th Street, the lane behind the north side of Main Street and

Policeman's Creek Pond.

Goal 7. b) Through the Bow Valley Regional Transit Commission, create regional and local transit systems.

Specific Action 1. Create a downtown bus shelter / terminal integrated with private and tourist operators.

A central bus terminal provides a transportation option to visitors to the town centre. Bus terminal design

development should be completed in conjunction with wider town centre initiatives such as the new Arts Centre,

and town centre enhancements. The result could be a new gateway to main street, the civic corridor, and 10th

street as well as flexible space available within the civic corridor adjacent to the bus terminal that could be used

for events.

END.

Options Considered:

We wish to consider a phased approach to development of the Town Centre terminal. This would mean initial

expenditures in 2013 for:

- Fence removal

- Wayfinding signage

- Some pathway delineation

- Some landscaping work

- Shelter installation

- Line painting

- Some lighting

This phase of the project would not include any significant civil work and would cost approximately $100,000.

Some matching funds will be sought from the Regional Transit Commission from their capital budget for shelter

costs.

Optional future construction could include sidewalk widening on 10th street, pedestrian links to the Civic

Corridor, parking lot expansion and improvements, bus bays for ease of loading and alighting passengers, and

larger scale landscape and architectural enhancements for this new gateway to the Town Centre.

Traffic Network Monitoring Upgrades

Project Number 1322Project Summary

Project Rationale:

In order to complete integrated transportation master planning a complete and accurate set of data is required.

Cameras at signalized intersections are a proven technology that will save operations $10,000 - $20,000 per

year in maintenance costs and provide consistent and reliable data. Additionally, data collection is easier and

more efficient freeing up staff time for monitoring new trail counters.

Good pedestrian and cyclist data is required to understand the current split between cyclists/peds and vehicles.

The addition of trail counters to our monitoring network will help us focus resources where they are most

needed, and to monitor the impact of capital projects.

Goal 1 a) Specific Action 3. Develop and impliment an Integrated Transportation Master Plan. Identify a target

percentage for non-vehicular transportation.

Options Considered:

Having a standard camera system for data collection creates significant efficiencies. We plan to continue using

the equipment we are familiar with and that is proven in the field.

Project Description:

This project includes a number of initiatives to improve traffic safety throughout Canmore with use of funds from

the Photo Radar reserve.

1) Currently a standing committee reviews issues raised by the community and determines a course of action

(TRIG). This approach has been successful to date however due to the volume of requests and sensitivity

around traffic calming measures administration feels a traffic calming policy similar to that used in Calgary would

be helpful in assessing and processing requests.

This would be a systematic process to first determine the root cause and severity of the issue. Once a root

cause and severity is determined options may be considered. Issues should be prioritized against available

resources and public engagement and community support must be sought by residents in advance of

installation of traffic calming measures. ($2,000 cost to this capital program, $3,000 from transportation

engineering operating budget)

2) Intallation of traffic calming devices. Once a policy is established we may wish to begin processing known

and publicly identified issues and to construct several traffic calming devices. All solutions will be identified in

COW reporting prior to expenditure for Council comment. ($40,000). For example this capital project could fund

the installation of four to five flashing speed limit signs in our most challengining areas . This type of device has

been sucessfully used in Calgary to reduce speeds. Through the development of the traffic calming policy we

will seek out the most effective approaches used by others.

3) The community has requested audible pedestrian signals at our traffic lights to assist visually impaired

pedestrians. Accessibility and pedestrian safety are important initiatives and this is felt to be an essential

upgrade. ($8,000)

Project Description:

This project is for the design and construction of improvements to the pedestrian crossing at the Bow River

Bridge. A number of site issues have been identified that will be addressed including:

• Heavy use by pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicles

• Poor site lines at pedestrian crossing due to bridge railings and parapets and road geometry

• Discontinuous sidewalk and multiuse pathway network

• Challenging environment for cyclists on Bridge Road

• Noncompliance with 30km/h speed zone

The attached concept design show the basic principals that could be applied to the final design solution including

improved sightlines for pedestrian crossing, improved bicycle access to and from the crossing, better seperation

between pedestrians, vehicles and cyclists. It is expected that construction of all elements invisioned in this

design will not be possible with the budget proposed. See options considered below.

Project Number 1324Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Goal 4. Canmore is a safe community. Strategic Initiative d) Implement infrastructure upgrades to improve

bicycle and pedestrian safety. Specific Action 4. Improve pedestrian crossing at the Bow River bridge.

The riverside pathways and sidewalks are heavily used by residents and visitors, pedestrians and cyclists, for

recreational, commuting and utility trips. Adjacent attractions include Riverside Park, the Chinook Sculpture,

Millennium Park, West Canmore Park, the Engine Bridge, Larch Island, and Town Centre. These destinations in

combination with residential communities generate a significant amount of non-motorized trips. For motor

vehicle users Bridge Road is the only crossing of the Bow River providing access to Town Centre from

communities to the southwest.

END.

Options Considered:

Construction of a complete solution that will address all issues identified above would exceed the budget

proposed. Future rehabilitation projects on 8th street and Rundle Drive will be proposed along with

enhancements that will result in a complete solution.

With the budget available a variety of options will be considered during detailed design that meet the objectives

of the project in the most cost effective manner possible.

Project Description:

This annual program includes construction of pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure to increase comfort, safety

and enjoyment for alternative modes of transportation including pedestrian and bicycles and in-turn increasing

usage. Improvements may include improvements to the trail network.

Projects for 2013 include:

1) Bike Corrals - expand Town Centre parking opportunities by converting 2 parking spaces to 10-20 bicycle

parking spaces. Bike corrals change the look and feel of Town Centre streets to make them more inviting, open

sidewalks for pedestrians, and provide easy access to and from the road for bicycles.

2) Covered Bicycle Parking - The Town Centre lacks covered bicycle parking. In conjunction with the Town

Centre Enhancement Plan update, Engineering will identify 1-3 locations and install covered bicycle parking that

is functional and meets aesthetic and low maintenance standards for Town Centre street furniture.

3) Bicycle Lockers - secure Town Centre bicycle parking is limited. Many Canmore bikers spend thousands of

dollars on bicycles that they would not consider locking to a standard racks for fear of theft. Bike lockers will

increase opportunities for mountain and road bikers to visit the town centre after riding.

4) Commuter Cycle Route Line Markings - as part of the Integrated Transportation Master Plan a commuter

network of both trails and on street bike routes will be identified. The goal is to segregate cyclists from vehicle

traffic as much as is practical though this approach is expensive and it will take time to develop the

infrastructure. In the meantime some areas may require on street markings to provide connectivity between

trails.

5) Signage on Town Centre bike racks, lockers and covered racks to remind bicyclists to walk their bikes on

sidewalks.

6) Bicycle promotion, education, and celebration. A number of activities geared towards increasing the safe use

of existing ped and bike infrastructure ($7500)

7) Address sidepath intersection safety by conducting a review based on the new AASHTO standards and

enacting improvements such as line painting, sightline enhancement, and signage.

8) Expand bicycle parking on the south side of the intersection of 6th Avenue (Marra's Way) and 10th Street.

1. System Condition #1 - Alternate forms of transportation require much less materials than do those more

traditional forms of transportation, such as the vehicle. Improved paths and walks help reduce the need to use

a car and hence less fossil fuels.

System Condition #4 - An accessible & user friendly pedestrian network allows people to live both economically

and environmentally stronger than the life where vehicle reliance is the cornerstone of transportation. A strong

pedestrian and cycling network reflects leadership and consistency with the Town's adaptation of the Natural

Project Description:

This project includes design of improvements to the pathways leading to the pedestrian crossing of the

Canadian Pacific Rail line from Bow Valley Trail to Sobeys. This is an important visitor amenity and one of our

greatest opportunities to reduce passenger vehicle trips along our busiest roads - Bow Valley Trail, Railway

Avenue, and Main Street. By providing visitors with an easily identifiable, safe, and pleasant access to the

shopping and town centre areas we can move towards a greater mode share for cyclists and pedestrians. This

will also be a key corridor for future bike share programs which we feel may have the greatest potential for

success at accommodations.

This project will address a number of issues including:

• Pedestrian link is not wide enough for multi-use

• Poor sight lines

• Insufficient lighting

• Hidden, no clear landmarks to provide directions to

• Challenging mid-block crossing of Bow Valley Trail (addressed in future phase)

• No pedestrian accommodation on north side of Bow Valley Trail (addressed in future phase)

• Bow Valley Trail has a rural cross-section that is not consistent with community desires or uses (partially

addressed)

• Rural cross-section is not a comfortable environment for pedestrians and cyclists (partially addressed)

• Pathways aren’t maintained in the winter because they are at the ditch bottom which develops a thick layer

of ice after several freeze/thaw cycles (partially addressed)

Scope would include lighting, sidewalk widening, grading, drainage, a landmark feature, and landscaping.

Scope would not include an enhanced crossing on Bow Valley Trail or the full extent of pathway construction

along Bow Valley Trail shown in the attached plan due to budget considerations. This will be a future phase of

work.

The attached drawing is a concept design only. The basic elements and vision of the concept design will be

Townwide Wayfinding Signage (2013)

Project Number 1327Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Goal 1. Canmore has a unique sense of place. Strategic Initiative a) Specific Action 1. Develop and implement

a comprehensive wayfinding program.

Wayfinding in Canmore is challenging for a number of reasons. Confusion begins on the Trans Canada

highway where multiple exits are available to visitors. Accessing the Town Centre requires turning off of main

thoroughfares. The layout of roadways such as Railway Avenue which parallels Bow Valley Trail, yet intersects

it twice as well can be disorienting. Pathway signage is incomplete and inconsistent. New destinations such as

Elevation Place, the Arts Centre, and the redeveloped recreation centre will require signage. As the existing

signage nears the end of its lifecycle and with a new brand unveiled for Canmore, this presents an opportunity

to freshen up, improve and make consistent our roadway and path wayfinding signage.

TCH/Cougar Creek Pathway Bridge Design (2013)

Project Number 1328Project Summary

Project Rationale:

TNS System Condition #1:

This bridge, together with the paved pathways that lead from it, will encourage year-round cycle commuting

thereby reducing dependence on motorized vehicle use and the associated burning of fossil fuels. Reducing

physical impediments is a key to encouraging a higher level of non-vehicular commuting. The wide and rocky

Cougar Creek channel currently serves as a major impediment on this route. The existing pedestrian bridge

over Cougar Creek is located 300m up slope, and the narrow passage next to the TCH guard rail is neither safe

nor easy to access.

TNS System Condition #4 and Town of Canmore Business Plan Goal #4a:

A new bridge in this location will link directly to Grotto Mountain Village and the Elk Run Industrial Park via

Grotto Road, increasing the mobility of school children and adults who do not have access to a motor vehicle.

2007 Canmnore Trails Master Plan:

This project is identified as a recommendation in the Plan.

END.

Options Considered:

We will consider both the option of a stand alone bridge, or a pathway integrated with the existing culvert.

This project is a candidate for a design/build solution and that will be considered along with a traditional design -

bid - build procurement strategy.

Snow Removal Equipment

Project Number 1330Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Priority Service: Elevation Place will be a priority facility for managing snow and ice. The Town will provide this

service and require the most appropriate equipment that can deliver the service quick and efficiently.

Equipment will also be used to remove snow on wider paved pathways.

Safety and Liability: The space is large (8 times greater in area than the front of the Civic Centre) and would be

better served with the equipment proposed. If staff are required to remove the snow by hand (i.e. shoveling)

there is a real risk of injury to staff due to heavy lifting and repetitive strain.

Minimize Service Delivery Interruptions: When this equipment is not being used at Elevation Place it will serve

as backup equipment for both Parks (outdoor ice rinks) and Streets and Roads (publicly maintained sidewalks

and paved trails).

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Complete project as described in Project Description.

Option 2: Use a walk behind snow blower to clear snow

The area is large and this would take an operator more than 6 times the time to clean the snow than the riding

machine with broom attachment, especially in the event of an ongoing heavy snow fall.

Option 3: Contract service

Administration reviewed this option and determined that if the facility was to remain a real priority it was prudent

that the Town provide this service because this ‘contract’ would be competing with all other large parking lots

(i.e. grocery stores and multi-family sites).

Vehicle - Replacement (2013)

Project Number 1331Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Reliability: Ensuring the Town's Fire & Rescue vehicles are in good operating condition and available to

transport personnel and the Special Operations trailer to a scene call.

Mechanical Condition: Mechanical condition of each vehicle is evaluated regularly to anticipate future R&M

costs and determine residual value.

Age: Industry best practice replaces vehicles between 150,000 - 200,000 km or 8-10 year life cycles.

Carbon Footprint: Continue to move fleet towards more sustainable fuel types/technologies and rightsizing.

END

Options Considered:

Note: Options 1-3 will replace vehicles that require life cycling due to condition, age and R&M costs.

Consideration will be given to replacement with hybrid or best available fuel efficient technology.

Option 1: Replace, right size: Purchase new vehicles to meet the specific need/task. Example; purchase a two

seat vehicle that only moves people.

Option 2: Replace with same type (i.e. non-hybrid). Results in the Town purchasing the ‘wrong’ vehicle for the

job.

Option 3: Replace a portion of the proposed vehicles. Determine if some vehicle replacements can be delayed.

Option 4: Replace with Hybrid vehicles where feasible.

Option 5: Replace vehicles with electric only cars. Electricity production in Alberta is mostly coal based therefore

this technology is currently discounted.

Option 6: Do not replace any vehicles. This will result in increased R&M costs, reduce reliability, decrease

trade-in value and increased future replacement costs/schedule.

Tool Cat (New)

Project Number 1332Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Growth: In 2013 Streets & Roads will assume priority winter maintenance of Elevation Place parking lots and 1.2

km of new sidewalks and paved trails. This is in an addition to 3.0 km of sidewalks and paved trails assumed

since 2009.

Meet Approved Service Levels: Streets & Roads is currently challenged to meet the 48 hour timeline (Bylaw

03-2006) to remove snow and ice from publicly maintained sidewalks and paved trails. Addition of Elevation

Place and new paved trails will further delay the required timeline without additional resources such as snow

removal equipment and staff.

Operational Efficiency: SWS will utilize the equipment to maintain the pedestrian waste container and 'mutt mitt'

dispenser route. Many containers are located along the trail network and it is more efficient to access the

container locations via this specialized equipment compared with driving to trailhead and walking/carrying heavy

garbage bag.

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Purchase new snow removal equipment as described in Project Description.

Option 2: Lease or rent equipment

Discounted because it is less expensive to purchase than lease or rent. 10 year purchase scenario includes

$67,000 + 10 year of R/M = $12,000 + 10 year estimated fuel= $17,000 =$96,000 compared with leasing at

$1,700/month x 6 months/year or $10,200 / annum or $102,000 (for 10 years) + estimated 10 year fuel costs

$17,000 = $119,000.

Option 3: Do not purchase

Discounted because it will further reduce or delay maintenance service levels for sidewalks and paved trails.

Project Description:

The project is to design and build a Waste Transfer Station (WTS) and Materials Recycling Facility (MRF). The

WTS will include a flexible design to allow for possible operational and equipment changes in the future to

include, for example the thermal treatment of waste. The MRF will include space for the storage and processing

of mixed paper products such as cardboard, newspaper and mixed waste paper. The facility would be located

at the Wastewater Treatment Plant area.

Funding Details:

The Waste Management Infrastructure project is proposed as a combination of a regional Waste Transfer

Station and a Town of Canmore Materials Recycling Facility. A regional facility would access funds available

through the Waste Management Assistance Program (WMAP) via the Commission. The WMAP money

available is $1.692M and provides 75% funding. The 25% balance would be funded by the participating regional

members - the Town of Canmore.

The regional facility is funded from various sources including:

Solid Waste Services Reserve: $400,000

Commission: $1,692,000 (approved WMAP grant)

The remaining $1,763,000 is debenture and available for a Materials Recycling Facility.

Waste Management Infrastructure

Project Number 1334Project Summary

Project Rationale:

1. Capacity: The current facility on Boulder Crescent serves as both a Waste Transfer Station and Materials

Recycling Facility. The space is very tight and will not allow programs to expand. The tight quarters increase the

risk of equipment and property damage when a collection vehicle or a skid steer is maneuvering.

2. Health & Safety: Air quality testing (May 2010) at the current WTS and MRF exceed ‘most of the time’ the

acceptable Health Canada levels for particulate matter. Operators must now wear air purifying respirators while

working within the building. Capacity issues (highlighted above) also increase the risk for operators to be injured

by moving equipment.

3. Environmental Sustainability Action Plan: Initiative Four and Five in the approved ESAP identify the need for a

new WTS and MRF with an expanded recycling program.

4. Operational Efficiency: A new MRF would be designed with appropriate space and ceiling height to increase

the efficiency of handling product (i.e. gravity feed) and accommodate the large vehicles. Currently vehicles

cannot fully extend the collection box requiring more time and effort to remove the waste.

5. Community Commitment: There was a commitment to the adjacent residents that the Town would work with

the regional Commission to relocate the Waste Transfer Station.

END

Options Considered:

All options include the siting of Waste Management Infrastructure (e.g. Waste Transfer Station and Materials

Recycling Facility) by the Wastewater Treatment Plant:

Option 1: (Recommended) Design and construct a new WTS and MRF in 2013 as described in Project

Description.

Option 2: Design and construct a new WTS and MRF in 2013 to include the storage and sorting of mixed

containers.

Option 3: Delay the project.

Project Description:

The first small waste collection vehicle (Unit 003) will be replaced as part of an equipment life cycling process.

By 2013 it will be 11 years old. Until the addition of a new waste collection vehicle in 2008 it had been operated

at a minimum of 8 hours/day, 7 days/week. Having two waste collection vehicles allows the Town to continue

servicing the waste and recycling containers should a vehicle need to be brought in for preventive maintenance

or repairs.

It is estimated that by 2013 these specialized collection vehicles will be $160,000

The collection vehicle purchase will include a sustainability review of available technologies and fuel types. This

would include hybrid technology and alternative fuels to ensure the vehicle has minimal emissions.

This project is scheduled for 2013 but its ultimate replacement schedule will be determined with the annual

review of its operational hours, mechanical condition and repair and maintenance costs.

7 days/week until 2008 when another waste collection vehicle was added to the fleet. Unit 003 has accumulated

over 207,000 kms and over 13,000 hrs as of July 2011. The nature of our work is quite demanding on the

vehicles

2. Continuation of Service: Waste collection is an essential service provided by the Town. Two waste collection

vehicles ensure that there is never a gap in waste collection due to vehicle breakdowns or scheduled

maintenance.

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Purchase a new waste collection vehicle to replace the aging Unit 003. Sell Unit 003

when the replacement is delivered.

Option 2: Delay the purchase of a replacement vehicle for one or two years. Review the condition of the vehicle

annually based on operational hours, mechanical condition and repair and maintenance costs to determine an

appropriate replacement date

Recycling Baler Equipment

Project Number 1336Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Repair & Maintenance: Current baler was installed in 2004 and has 5,860 hours on it as of July 2012. Over the

past 3 years the baler has had significant mechanical failures which have shut down the processing operations

and forced the Town to transfer recyclable material to Banff for processing. Total repair costs over the past 3

years have been in excess of $11,200.

Industry Practice: The current industry practice for baler replacement is 15 to 20 years.

New Facility = New Technology: With building a new MRF, there is an opportunity to upgrade to a new baler

with newer technologies that can increase productivity and reduce contamination when switching from one

product to another during processing.

4th Street Sanitary Main Upgrade

Project Number 1337Project Summary

Project Rationale:

1. Capacity: The sewer main proposed to be upgraded in this project was built in the 1970s. The Sanitary

Master plan reviewed bottlenecks and problem areas within the Town of Canmore. From this review the higher

priority areas that required upgrades have been identified. As identified by the Sanitary Utility Master Plan, the

sewer main in the 4th street-East of the intersection with 6th Avenue is under capacity to handle the wet weather

flows and requires upsize to be able to handle the flows without issues arising. Upsizing the piping will help to

reduce possible backup in the sanitary system or possible flooding into the residents in the area.

2. Timing: Based on the Town’s Road Rehabilitation Plan, in 2013, the Town will repair the road in the 4th

Street east of 6th Avenue and part of 6th Avenue. By doing this in conjunction with the Town’s road

rehabilitation, the sewer upgrade in the 4th Street will have significant construction cost saving including road

surface clearance and re-pavement.

3. Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP): The plan includes a goal to reduce water loss in the

distribution system and this project replaces water mains that are cracked /damaged and leaking.

4. Condition Assessment: Work to determine the condition of sewer and water lines has been delayed

because the Utility could not afford. Sewer lines are cameraed and water lines have leak detection analysis

completed. This data, compared with a recognized rating system serves as the basis for determining the

condition of pipes and the replacement schedule.

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Complete the deep utility replacement work in South Canmore in 2013

Option 2 – Postponing the work into 2014 or later

Similar to Option3, postponing the work means that the issues are not addressed and there is a risk to the Town

of Canmore.

Option 3 – Do nothing

If this project does not proceed there is a risk that backups could occur in this area causing sewer backups into

the residents in the area.

Lift Station 1 - Upgrade

Project Number 1338Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Capacity: The population growth the Town of Canmore experienced in previous years has increased demand on

the existing wastewater facilities. The 2010 Sanitary Utility Master Plan identified a required capacity increase

for Lift Station 1 (LS1) in order to meet the current wet weather flow projections. The influent flow conditions to

the lift station are not expected to change in the future since there will be minimal development within the Town

of Canmore which would impact the LS1 catchment area however the pumps currently do not have the firm

capacity (defined as the pumping capacity with the largest pump out of service) to meet the Town of Canmore

existing wet weather flow requirements. Alberta Environment’s redundancy criteria indicate that the lift station

must be able to pump the required peak wet weather flow with one of the largest pumps out of service.

The high ground water events in 2007 and 2012 reinforce the need to upgrade the capacity of the lift station. In

2007, numerous houses in South Canmore had sanitary back-ups due to the inability of LS1 to adequately

pump wastewater to the WWTP. It was ultimately necessary to pump overland and discharge raw wastewater

into the Bow River to alleviate surcharging in the LS1 collection system. In 2012, both wet well pumps ran at

full speed for extended periods of time and it was required to use a portable “bypass” pump. Despite LS1

running at full capacity plus the use of a portable pump, the LS1 collection area still had surcharges. Had a

blockage occurred in one of the pumps, several homes could have had sanitary back-ups again in 2012. Table

1 shows the existing flow for LS1 (attached).

Operating Budget Impact: LS1 cleaning costs were included in the renewed 2010 contract, therefore $13,000

plus CPI adjustments would be reduced from the value of the contract.

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Complete the project as defined in the Project Description.

Option 2: Complete Phase I only

Not completing Phase II will maintain the risk of a sanitary surcharge into homes during high water events.

Option 3: Complete Phase II only

Not completing Phase I will continue to require the pumps be pulled and cleaned weekly and maintain the risk of

a sanitary surcharge into homes due to plugged pumps.

Option 4: Doing Nothing.

If this project does not proceed, the issues with LS1 capacity and solids build up will continue. This will result in

ongoing risk of surcharging and maintenance and labour costs associated with proper operation of the lift station.

Utility Vehicle Replacement (2013)

Project Number 1339Project Summary

Project Rationale:

Reliability: Retaining vehicles beyond their life cycle decreases reliability, increases repair costs, and in some

cases increases the repair time. Dependable vehicles are needed to maintain operational excellence and

minimize productivity loss resulted from equipment downtime.

Increasing Maintenance Costs: Epcor’s Canmore operations vehicles are aging and incurring increased R/M

costs. If the vehicles are not replaced, Epcor will continue to incur increased costs for maintenance.

END

Options Considered:

No practical options available. Reliable vehicles are required for prompt action to incidents or emergency

events. Delayed actions may result in serious impact to the water and wastewater system, communities and

Project Description:

The project would change out meters that are non-functioning and/or older than 15 years old. This is primarily

the older neighbourhoods of Larch, South Canmore, Hospital Hill, Downtown and BVT/Teepee Town. Batch

testing will be conducted to determine the most prudent replacement schedule.

The project would upgrade approx. 225 water meters with radio read type that can be read remotely (from

sidewalk) so an operator does not need to enter private property.

Water meters 50 mm (2”) in size and smaller will be replaced based on age. Meters 75 mm (3”) in size and

larger will be field tested and replaced as required.

Hard costs for the new radio read water meters is approx. $200/each compared with $100 for the current type.

Administration and installation time equates to approximately one hour, bringing the total cost of each meter to

$300.

Water Meter - Lifecycle & Upgrade (2013)

Project Number 1340Project Summary

Project Rationale:

1. Equipment Lifecycle: The lifecycle of a water meter is between 15-18 years. The first round of meters were

installed in 1996 (approx. 1,000 meters) with some meters now 15 years old. While not currently in place, there

has been an indication that “Measurement Canada” may regulate the required accuracy of water meters.

2. Business Case: When a water meters fail, it does so in favour of the account owner. Water meters are the

utility’s cash registers and failure to replace aging and non-functioning meters creates a revenue loss for the

utility.

3. Operational Efficiency: Replacement meters would be radio read and not require the operator to enter

private property. New technology also allows for data logging and time of day consumption to better understand

consumption patterns. Meter reads for ½ of the town (one month or cycle) could be completed much quicker

than the current time of 2 weeks.

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Complete the work as described in Project Description.

Option 2: Delay replacement. The water meters are the utility’s cash registers and if they do not read correctly,

there is a loss in utility revenue.

Option 3: Do not replace. This would compound the outcome identified in Option 2 and result in increased

failure rate.

WWTP - Solids Handling Upgrade (2013)

Project Number 1341Project Summary

Project Rationale:

In defining the project rationale, it’s important to provide history on the WWTP’s construction and staged

upgrades to accommodate a population of 30,000:

Stage I: Initial construction of 4 carbonaceous BOD5 removal (C-side) and nitrification (N-side) BAF units for a

population of 12,000.

Stage II: Expand secondary treatment for a population of 18,000.

Stage III: Add 3 C-side and 3 N-side BAF units for a population of 26,000.

In 2007, Stantec was retained to design Stage II and it was revised to the following:

Stage II: Add 1 C-side and 1 N-side BAF units plus an effluent recirculation system between the C and N side

(completed in 2007)

Stage III: Evaluate BWW (Solids Characterization completed in 2010)

Stage IV: Results of the BWW evaluation supports the hypothesis that the design capacity can be met by a

BWW treatment system in place of adding the 4 more cells as originally designed, reducing the total costs to

upgrade the plant to its design capacity.

Stantec Consulting evaluated the BAF effluent characteristics and found that while the average daily effluent

concentrations met AENV’s effluent regulations and design objectives, the maximum daily effluent

concentrations for each parameter exceeded both on multiple occasions (see Table 1).

Specifically the total effluent Ammonia Nitrogen concentrations exceeded the Alberta Environment effluent

requirements on 13 occasions in 2009 and 10 occasions in 2010. As well the effluent Biological Oxygen

Demand (BOD5) concentrations exceeded the design guidelines 38 times in 2009 and 27 times in 2010. The

effluent Total Suspended Solids (TSS) also exceeded the design guidelines 16 times in 2009 and 7 times in

2010 (see Table 1, Figures 1-6).

This project is required now to address past exceedances and should not be delayed. Epcor is indicating that

the timing of this project is critical and should continue with a 2015 completion.

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Complete the project has detailed under Project Description.

Option 2: The project is delayed and staged over 3-5 years. The most recent upgrade is already exceeding the

maximum parameter levels for AENV effluent requirements and the design objectives today, and that will only

increase as time progresses. Similarly, the daily effluent average for each parameter is also increasing annually

and the risk of exceeding is growing.

Option 3: The project in its entirety is delayed until significant growth resumes. Implications will be greater than

ones identified in Option 2.

Project Description:

The Influent Lift Station at the WWTP handles all of the wastewater flow from the collection system and is

therefore critical to ensure there is no backup in the system.

In May 2011, Stantec completed a hydraulic profile analysis of the influent lift station and determined that the

current pumping configuration does not meet the firm capacity as defined by Alberta Environment (AENV)

Standards and Guidelines. AENV redundancy criteria for lift stations is that a lift station must be able to pump

the required peak wet weather flow with one of the largest pumps out of service. The influent lift station needs to

be upgraded to ensure that it can handle the current and future influent flow rates.

To ensure that the lift station can meet the current low flow demands at the plant, it is recommended that this

project be completed in two phases:

Phase I: In 2013, upgrade two of the existing four 19 kW lift station pumps to 50 hp pumps with VFDs. The two

remaining 19 KW pumps would continue to be used. Larger pumps will require corresponding electrical,

instrumentation and control system upgrades.

Phase II: In 2017 (or later depending on growth), upgrade the two remaining 19 kW pumps to 50 hp pumps with

VFDs.

WWTP - Influent Pump Station Upgrade (2013)

Project Number 1342Project Summary

Project Rationale:

The Town of Canmore’s Utility Master Plan identified a required capacity upgrade for the WWTP influent lift

station in order to meet both existing population and a future population of approximately 30,000. The current

pump configuration does not meet the firm pumping capacity (defined as the pumping capacity with the largest

pump out of service) to meet the Town’s existing and future wet weather flow requirements for a population of

30,000.

The current firm pumping capacity of the lift station is approximately 263 L/s. With all four pumps operating, the

station can pump approximately 336 L/s. The current firm capacity of the influent lift station and the maximum

pump capacity using all four pumps are below the current predicted peak wet weather flow of 405 L/s (see Table

1).

The future peak wet weather flow is estimated to be 495 L/s. To be compliant with AENV Standards and

Guidelines, at a minimum the lift station needs to be upgraded to accommodate the current flow rate with the

largest pump out of service. However, if the Town of Canmore wants to meet the future predicted flow rates the

upgrades should be staged to accommodate the future flow rates.

This is also supported by the pump curves graph (see Figure 1). The green diamond indicates the current peak

wet weather flow and the orange oval indicates the maximum capacity with all four pumps operating.

END

Options Considered:

Option 1: (Recommended) Complete project as described in Project Description.

Option 2: Delay project which will increase the risk of sewer back ups occurring within the collection system (i.e.

other Lift Stations or the sewer pipes/manholes)

Option 3: Do not complete project. Consequences identified in Option 2.

Option 4: Upgrade all 4 pumps in 2013. This will save some money over the two phases however a complete

replacement is not required at this time.
