Hanley Arena Report

The arena held their annual Calcutta on Friday April 5th. This event remains to be a huge fundraiser for the arena and we are thankful for the community support with this event. We were able to raise $16,677.35 which will help pay for the new furnaces and water heater that were installed by Blackstrap Plumbing & Heating.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who have been working hard in the arena throughout the summer to get ready for the fast approaching hockey season. The rink cannot operate without the support of our communi-ty and we are grateful for all of the help we receive throughout the year.

The rink will be a busy place this winter with 3 local minor hockey teams playing out of Hanley.

The Arena is happy to be hosting ‘Hockey Day in Hanley’ January 4, 2020. Hope to see everyone at the rink!

Hanley Housing Authority

Hanley Housing Program

The Hanley Housing Authority on behalf of Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, offers the Social Housing Program. This program is designed to ensure that safe, adequate housing is available to those who could not otherwise afford it. Our tenants benefit from a safe place to call home, a community they can enjoy and peace of mind.

General Requirements for Housing

Applicants must meet income and asset limit requirements to be eligible for the Housing Program. All appli-cants are required to complete an application form and provide verification of income and assets, as request-ed.

Review Process

Applications are reviewed for eligibility and approved by the Housing Authority Board of Directors. We utilize a point score system that considers adequacy, suitability and affordability when determining the pri-ority of need.

Once approved, units are allocated upon availability on a priority based, point score system.

Additional Information Senior housing rent is based on income – 30% of gross household income, collected via pre-authorized payment.

Units are smoke free – No smoking in the units by tenants or guests. Housing tenants are responsible for ob-taining and paying for their own power. Heat, water/sewer are included in the rent.

Any questions related to the Hanley Housing Authority should first be directed to the manager.

All requested income information and previous landlord references must be included or application will not be processed.

ALL UNITS ARE NON-SMOKING UNITS

When Roys’ swimming pool went up in their yard, a pink, plastic flamingo was out on the water. It was a big bird and I was able to see it from my bedroom window. This was across of my yard, the back lane and a tall fence. It was visible and added some summer joy. Thank you Roys’ for this summer pleasure. Marg Peters

NOTES FROM THE TOWN OFFICE

At our August Meeting: Delegate Cindy Prosofsky of the Artificial Ice Committee attended the meeting to request that the Town Foreman possibly check on equipment once installed. As representative of the Hanley Sox baseball team, she discussed maintenance of the ball diamonds and fairgrounds. Public Works Foreman, Ben Collins, attended the meeting to report on the GIS mapping conducted for the Asset Management program digitization program. There was difficulty locating some curbstops but hopefully these can be added a later date when they are located. He also reported on the hydrant repairs as contracted by EMCO. The CAO reported having attended a SUMA Municipal Symposium in Moose Jaw July 28 – 30 where dis-cussions were held in regards to “where do you see your municipality in 20 years”. The CAO also reported on the DRWU. She is on the Human Resources committee and attended a meeting July 9th; the Annual Tour was on August 7; and she and the Mayor attended a meeting at the RM of Dundurn on July 31 with representatives of the Corporate partners where the partners felt that the Corporate Bylaw needed some wording cleaned up and the partners had already approved amending the bylaw to remove a “Sunset Clause” for appointed directors. The CAO was designated to work with a committee on this project. Councillor Richard McGregor attended the quarterly RCMP meeting on July 10. They discussed occurrence stats; significant incidents (one of which was the murder charge laid in the Sherri Fertuck investigation); Staffing levels; and Round Table where each representative can talk about what is going on in their munici-pality, School Division, or Ministry of Environment. Councillor Richard McGregor and CAO, Darice Carlson attended Mediation August 1 where Agvantage Development laid a Statement of Claim against Texcana/Blairs who laid a Counter Statement. The Town was listed on the Statement of Claim but no damages were being sought. The CAO reported on the progress of construction in the Fire Hall where Titanium Mechanical has installed the boiler (just waiting on electrical); Rosedale Electric has done most of the electrical; and Vern Harder has framed the internal walls. A Lending Bylaw was approved to lend money to the Hanley Artificial Ice Committee. The Civic Address bylaw was amended to allow for 2 units within one house. Policy 400-30 was amended to include: “Nothing other than grass is allowed on boulevards. For example: trees, flower beds, etc.” Policy 400-41 was added to read: “Other work may be provided by Public Works at a time suitable to the municipality at a charge of: - Equipment and personnel -$120 per hour with a minimum of $30; - Personnel only - $45 per hour. Approval was ratified for local salespeople/crafters to set up tables on the sidewalks in the 100 Block of Lin-coln Ave. on Aug. 17. Unfortunately, there was not enough interest so this did not happen.

NOTES(cont’d)

The Council is satisfying the Zoning Bylaw by entering into agreement with June’s Coffee by providing for off-site parking. Accounts in the amount of $205,663.99 were approved. At our September Meeting: The CAO reported that the upgrade at the Lift Station at this point has not been completed to the satisfaction of the Wastewater Operator so this project is ongoing. Councillor Richard McGregor reported on having attended the WaterWolf meeting August 26. In 2020, the Town will be required to have a Water System Assessment conducted again (every 5 years) so WaterWolf is requesting quotes. The Province is requesting “Expressions of Interest” for targeted sectors and WaterWolf is considering updating the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaws for member municipalities so Water-Wolf is working with our Planner on wording for each member municipality to submit their EOI. A Planning Forum is scheduled for November 6. The next Board meetings are September 23 & October 7th. The CAO reported having done a sidewalk assessment in August. A scale of 1 to 5 was established where 1 is where a sidewalk needs replacement and 5 is perfect condition. These conditions will be integrated into the Asset Management forecast following a workshop in October. The CAO reported having attended a regular meeting for the DRWU on Aug. 28. The 2020 budget was ap-proved at that meeting and the DRWU is forced to pass on an 8.7% increase. The Town will be reviewing the 2020 budget in the next months to take this increase into consideration. The Corporate Bylaw was redone and will be presented to the Corporate partners at a meeting in September. Due to the second Monday in October being Thanksgiving stat holiday, the next regular meeting of Council will be Tuesday, Oct. 15. The TCA register was corrected to remove private water and sewer lines that were mistakenly added. The Council has contracted the Commissionaires of North Saskatchewan for Bylaw Enforcement. There are an increasing number of messy yards and junked vehicles turning up in town that the office doesn’t have as much time as it would take to deal with them. The Nuisance Bylaw will be amended giving the Commission-aires the authority to enforce the bylaw and ALL CHARGES will be invoiced back to the parties in contraven-tion of the Nuisance bylaw so if you are one of those people that has a messy yard or too many vehicles sitting around your yard, you will be responsible for paying for the enforcement. The Council wished to apply for SGI funding for additional radar speed signs. SGI requires proof of need for these signs so the RCMP will be erecting the speed cameras to provide documentation to support the applica-tion. The 2020 insurance values were reviewed with minor amendments. The Council approved Argo training on Lots 14, 15, 16 & 19, Block 5, Plan H1032 provided a Certificate of Insurance was deposited at the Town Office. Accounts in the amount of $310,682.35 were approved.

ANIMAL CONTROL Our Animal Control Officer is Suzanne Coghill. She can be contacted at 306-371-3378 for concerns in regards to pets. Please be a responsible pet owner and keep your pets licensed, under control and cleaned up after! The Fairgrounds is NOT a designated spot to let your pet poop! You may let them be off-leash with-in the gymkhana area but the rest of the grounds are used for many activities that involve people walking around. It’s pretty nasty if they are walking in the poo you let your pet leave behind. Please remember to be responsible and pick up after your pets! The Town of Hanley has a lot of storm wa-ter drainage going through and those areas are being well maintained by Public Works but the fol-lowing information was sourced from the Water Security Agency “Stormwater Guidelines EPB 322 January 2014”: “The presence of pet waste in storm water runoff has a number of implications for urban stream water quality, with perhaps the greatest impact from fecal bacteria. According to a recent research study, nonhu-man waste represents a significant source of bacterial contamination in urban watersheds. These bacteria can pose health risks to humans and other animals and result in the spread of disease. Pet waste may also be a factor in the eutrophication of lakes. The release of nutrients from the decay of pet waste promotes weed and algae growth, limiting light penetration and the growth of aquatic vegetation. This situation, in turn, can reduce oxygen levels in the water affecting fish and other aquatic organisms.” This is just one more reason to pick up after you pet!

TOWN TIDBITS:

Please make sure to remove campers and trailers from the boulevards of the streets before snow fall. These makes snow removal very difficult.

Sometimes the Loraas truck has to pull over to the softer boulevard shoulders to pick up the garbage and

recycle carts. Please remember to put them out far enough to the edge of the road so they can easily access the carts and not sink into the soft spots.

You have probably seen the culverts on the side of the road by the old E & D Motors. The Town Council was going to extend the culvert on both sides of the road but when they reviewed the Asset Management

Plan, they learned that the culvert was 47 years old and was due for replacement. This culvert could have failed at any time so Council is acting pro-actively with the replacement of the culvert
