Re:
2012 Business Revitalization Zone Tax, Business Revitalization Zone Tax Rate,
Supplementary Business Revitalization Zone Assessment and Supplementary
Business Revitalization Zone Tax By-Law
Date: February 27, 2012
RECOMMENDATION:
That this report be received for information.
BACKGROUND:
This By-Law 2696/12 is ready for three readings upon Council's approval of the CCCBRZ
proposed budget.
The purpose of the assessments and assessment rolls is to levy a 2012 Business Revitalization
Zone Tax and Supplementary Tax in accordance with section 18 of the Business Revitalization
Zone Regulation AR 377/94 (BRZ Reg.) and section 379 of the Municipal Government Act,
R.S.A. 2000, and Chapter M-26 (MGA).
The CCCBRZ was established in 1988 under By-Law #1514/88 and continues today under ByLaw #2673/11. At tonight's meeting, City Council received the proposed 2012 CCCBRZ budget.
The amount of revenue to be raised by the CCCBRZ levy was estimated at $65,000. On
February 14, 2012, the Administration mailed a notice indicating the date (February 27, 2012)
and place of the council meeting when the proposed budget would be presented for Council's
approval. The notice was mailed to all businesses operating in the CCCBRZ in accordance with
section 11(1) of the BRZ Reg.
Section 18 of the BRZ Reg. directs Council to pass a BRZ Tax by-law before May 1, 2012 and
set a BRZ tax rate sufficient to raise the amount the CCCBRZ board will receive from the City as
set out in the board's approved budget. The BRZ Tax by-law specifies the method to be used to
prepare the assessments. The assessments are based on the floor space occupied for the
purposes of the business and the dollar rate per unit of floor space are described in Schedule
“B" of the by-law. The BRZ Tax by-law also establishes a procedure for prorating and rebating
BRZ taxes for businesses that may close or move out of the CCCBRZ during 2012. The liability
to pay the tax for sub-leases is also addressed in the by-law.
To ensure businesses that; operate for a temporary period, move or open new branches of
existing premises, begin operating, or expand existing premises, during 2012 are subject to a
levy for the period of the year they are operating in these new premises, Council needs to pass

Administrative Report
To:
Mayor and Council
Date:
February 27, 2012
From:
Public Works – Director of Purchasing, Fleet Management and Safety
Re:
2012 Equipment and Truck Purchases
RECOMMENDATION:
That the tenders submitted by the following be accepted:
a.) Finning (Canada) for supply of one (1) 2012 CAT 950K wheel loader for a net cost (after
trade-in) of $141,534 plus GST;
b.) Finning (Canada) for supply of one (1) 2012 CAT 930K wheel loader for a total of
$190,000 plus GST;
c.) Camrose Chrysler for supply of one (1) 2012 DODGE 3500 Crew Cab and chassis for a
total of $28,867.55 plus GST;
With funding for the wheel loaders and crew cab truck as approved in the City of Camrose 2012
Capital Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Loaders:
Tenders for the supply of two wheel loaders were posted on Alberta Purchasing Connection for
equipment dealers to view. For both loaders, dealers were advised that the tenders would need
to meet 65 qualification specifications in order to be considered by the City. These
specifications included such items as minimum equipment horsepower, compatibility with
existing City peripheral equipment, specific safety features, and proximity to Camrose for
servicing purposes. Tenders were opened on February 6, 2012 at 10:00am.
Eight tenders were received for the 2012 High Lift 4 Yard Wheel Loader and eleven tenders for
the 2012 Parallel 2 ½ Yard Wheel Loader. There was considerable research completed on all
units prior to determining the recommended units.
Of the eight tenders received for the larger loader, the Cat 950K loader supplied by Finning
(Edmonton) was the unit with the lowest net cost to the City that met all of the City’s additional
requirements. As part of this deal, Finning has offered the City $150,000 for the existing 2007
Cat 950H loader. The net cost to the City’s equipment replacement reserve for the new loader
would be $141,934 plus GST, which is lower than the budgeted amount of $160,000 (capital
project #12-00049).
Page 59 of 94
Of the eleven tenders received for the mid-sized loader, the CAT 930K loader supplied by
Finning (Edmonton) was the cheapest unit that met all of the City’s requirements. A trade for
the City’s existing mid-sized loader (2002 John Deere TC44) is not recommended as part of this
tender, but will be sold by the City through public auction once the new loader arrives in
Camrose. The total cost to the City’s equipment replacement reserve for the mid-sized loader
would be $190,000 plus GST, which is equivalent to the amount approved in the 2012 budget.
Trade-in for the existing loader is expected to bring in more than the $50,000 that was included
in the budget (capital project #12-00051).
Truck:
Tenders for the supply of one 2012 Dodge 3500 Crew Cab and Chassis were received by three
local dealers. Tenders were opened on Friday February 10, 2012 at 10:00 am. All local dealers
met the 35 tender specifications prepared by Administration. The low tender for the truck was
Camrose Chrysler for the sum of $28,867.55 plus GST.
MUNICIPAL DIRECTIVES:
The funds were approved in the 2012 City of Camrose Capital Budget and the tender decisions
were made as per the City of Camrose Purchasing Policy.
IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATION:
Pending Council approval of these purchases, Administration will contact all bidders to advise
whether or not they were successful on these tenders.

•IN'IllATF: TO
Dear Mayor Chalmers,
The purpose of this note is to apprise your government about the cost of gravel in Alberta.
According to (preliminary) information from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), we have
the most costly gravel in the whole country. The attached data sheet shows an Alberta gravel
cost at the pit exit about 75% higher than the overall average for the "Rest of Canada".
We have forwarded this information to the provincial government and requested it to
investigate further with NRCan and seek to confirm if this is so and, if it is, determine why.
Although these 2010 statistics are not yet fmal, final numbers for 2009 did show that the
Alberta cost was 83% higher than the Rest of Canada during that year. ($10.58/$5.78 = 183%)
Possible partial explanations include a 'demand pull' component due to Alberta's somewhat
higher economic growth in recent years. In addition, Alberta allows for a unique 'tax' of up
to $.25/tonne on sand and gravel, but no other heavy materials such as fill to go under a
roadbed, payable by the producer to the local municipality for wear and tear on roads. We
call it the "Community Aggregate Payment Levy" regulation and it started out as a
recommendation from a Task Force with members from the Alberta Sand and Gravel
Association, the Alberta Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Association and the AAMDC
— hardly a disinterested bunch — but not AUMA. We suspect the true reason behind this
program is to make permitting easier.
A problem with this 'tax' is that it is not uniform across the board (most heavy haulers do not pay
it) and the recipient municipality, in addition to being a financial beneficiary, is also the
approving authority. Nevertheless, Municipal Affairs, in its wisdom, chose to bring this into
regulation six years ago, and extend it a year ago. Not all municipalities have opted to
participate.
Cheers,
Mike Edwards
