Regular Meeting of Council

The Municipal District of Taber held its regular council meeting on June 9, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a budget amendment to purchase 250 waste bins for curbside waste collection expansion in the hamlets of Enchant and Hayes, funded from the landfill reserve at a cost of $23,000. Council approved the implementation of this curbside waste collection program, which aims to reduce landfill tipping and transportation costs. Additionally, council approved the sale of a 3.58-acre parcel of municipal land to a private purchaser at $20,000 per acre, with the purchaser responsible for all associated costs including appraisal, subdivision, survey, and legal fees. The sale will proceed with future subdivision approval by the municipal planning authority. Other agenda items included appointment of bylaw enforcement officers, support for transitioning historical artifacts to the Tank 77 Museum, and discussion of upcoming community events. A notice of motion was introduced regarding community dialogue ahead of the October 2026 Alberta referendum, but no procurement decisions were made on that item during this meeting.
