Fire and Emergency Services
Fire Hall Landscaping Update
Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services has been made aware that members of Council have received a number of inquiries respecting completion date and cost of the landscaping feature that is being developed in front of the fire station. A review of budget indicates that the cost of the project to date is approximately $33,000. The project is 90% complete with planting of flowers and shrubs remaining to be completed. The
majority of the shrubs and flowers have already been purchased and are accounted for in the $33,000 expenditures to date. We anticipate we will spend approximately another $2,000 for additional plants and labor which should complete the project. As discussed earlier, the project is funded through the MFA Refunds Reserve and carry forward monies from previous budgets; $35,000 in fire hall landscaping and $15,000 in curbing for a total of $40,000 to be used jointly for landscaping and curbing. The project
scheme has used landscaping features in the form of curbing. This will allow Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services to complete all anticipated curbing, as well as providing some landscaping features in other areas within the total allotted budget of $40,000. Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services is committed to completing the ongoing landscaping project on or under budget.
It is anticipated that the project will be completed June 28, 2013. We would like to remind Council that the only cost effective way of installing a value added feature was through the utilization of Public Works staff when they were available between other major works. Upon completion, we plan to have a neighborhood open house for residents to view the feature, as well as provide fire hall tours and view static displays. lt
will also provide an opportunity for Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services to meet with neighbors and to provide some insight into the training centre which will be constructed over the next six months

Bylaws
13.1
Bylaw 3765
Administration has completed a comprehensive review of Leisure Services Fees and Charges. Revised
schedules are presented in the proposed bylaw, City of Cranbrook Leisure Services Fees and Charges
Bylaw, No.3765, 2013. Normally the proposed fees would cover a three to five year roll out, but this proposed bylaw is being presented for one year, to cover the period from September 1, 2013 to August 31, 2014. The reason for this is that Council has determined they would like to move forward with discussions with the RDEK, 10 discuss options surrounding the residenUnon-resident rates. If an agreement is made with the RDEK reflecting an elimination or change to these fees, staff would be revising the bylaw early in 2014. If an agreement is not reached, staff will still present a bylaw proposal in 2014 that will cover an extended period.
