Martensville City Council Update for July 2018

Martensville City Council held their only meeting of July on the evening of Tuesday the 17th. Each of the department heads presented a monthly update. This was kicked off by City Manager Scott Blevins who commented on City Hall repairs, which will officially be completed by next week and noted that Ted Schaeffer, the new Director of Recreation and Community Services will be starting on Monday, July 23rd.

Next to speak was Leah Sullivan, the Director of Corporate Services, who explained that she is working with auditors to finalize the 2017 year end and financial statements, which she plans to bring to Council for the August Council meeting.

Sullivan is also working on developing a Drug & Alcohol Policy, Investment Policy and revisions to the Water & Sewer Administration Bylaw. Sullivan is planning to have the Drug & Alcohol Policy completed prior to the October 17th legalization of marijuana.

An update for City of Martensville Water & Sewer was provided by Matt Gruza, who explained that a new flow meter for the lagoon effluent line was installed; however, it has not been functioning properly, an issue that they are working on resolving. Gruza also commented about the extreme amounts of rain that Martensville received in June and that there were several complaints from residents regarding water backing up into basements noting that there had been some confusion from residents about how storm water and sewerage is handled. Plans are now in place to create informational documents as well as tips to prevent flooding.

Additionally, there was a sewer backup that appeared to be caused by an excessive amount of grease in the sewer, which was likely caused by a commercial business. Because of this, the current sewer bylaw is being reviewed and updated to help provide a clear direction of what is permitted in the sewer as well as giving the City of Martensville sewer and water operators additional tools to deal with unpermitted sewer use. For roadways in Martensville, road repairs and line painting are currently underway. Be sure to watch for City workers as they continue their work around the community.

Bonnie Gorelitza provided an update for the City of Martensville Planning Department which noted that work is being done with a builder regarding a condominium development and with a business in the south industrial area, who plan to develop a car wash, which will be the first development for that particular zone. Gorelitza has also been working with the Cannabis retailer that was selected for Martensville, and commented that they have a location in place within the community.

City Council approved the CUPE 2582 Union Contract Agreement, which was recently negotiated. The agreement will be retroactive from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2019 and includes a 1.75% wage increase for each of the three years. Mayor Muench took a moment during the meeting to thank those that were involved in the process, commenting on the numerous hours that were dedicated to forming this contract.

The second reading of the Vehicle for Hire Bylaw was read, and Shewchuk provided an update to Council on recent communications that have taken place between himself and an Uber representative. Information from the Transportation Network Company Services resident survey that took place at the end of 2017 was provided to the company, as well as a draft copy of the Vehicle for Hire Bylaw. He has not received feedback from the company at this time.

The final item on the agenda was regarding amendments made to the Business Licensing Bylaw. These amendments included the license fee for mobile food (selfpropelled), license fee for other transient traders, and the license fee for Vehicle for Hire.

Summer Water Conservation Tips Summer can bring a rise in water consumption and your water bill. Here are some tips to help conserve water during the heat.

• Water your lawn deeply, but not more than once a week. During periods of extended rain, water even less frequently.

• Water new lawns every other day until the grass reaches 5 cm; then water less frequently.

• Set a tuna can in each of your sprinkler zones and time how long it takes to fill it with water. That’s how long you should run your sprinkler once a week if your lawn is dry.

• Use drip irrigation and/or sprinkler systems that are timed to turn on and off automatically. Remember to turn them off if it’s raining.

• Don’t water your lawn during the hottest time of the day. Instead, water early in the morning or in the evening. Don’t water when it’s rainy or windy.

• Check the sprinkler position to make sure you don’t waste water by watering the street, sidewalks or driveway.

• Xeriscape Landscaping – Group plants according to their watering needs.

Plant water-saving plants, trees and shrubs. Use mulch to retain moisture in the soil.

All of this can save 10-35 litres of water per minute.

• When mowing your lawn, only cut the top 1/3 of the grass and leave clippings behind. They will help the soil retain moisture and provide natural fertilizer.

• Wash your car at the car wash. Washing at home with a hose for ten minutes uses 300 litres of water and sends soap, oil and other chemicals to the river through storm drains. At a car wash, run-off is captured and disposed of properly.

• Use a broom when cleaning your driveway or walkway. Washing with a hose uses almost 200 litres of water.

The Twin City Angels U16A team travelled to Regina for provincials this past weekend. They came out strong winning both games Thursday and Friday. Friday they had some big wins 9-1 over the Saskatoon Lazers and 5-1 over North Battleford. Saturday they kept their momentum going with a 9-1 win over Lumsden. They faced Prince Albert in the semi-final and won 7-5 to earn a spot in the Provincial final. Prince Albert faced the Saskatoon Hustlers and defeated them to play the Angels in the final. The Angels went undefeated through the tournament but Prince Albert took the momentum and brought home the gold. The Angels won silver while the Hustlers brought home bronze. The team is coached by Marla Laskowksi, Shane Meikle and Nevada Smith. The Twin City Angels and Prince Albert both travel to Nationals in Winnipeg, August 15-19. Good luck to the Twin City Angels U16 silver medalists, as they gear up for Nationals in August.

There were just three games in the CFL last week and Calgary and Ottawa kicked it off on Thursday. Ottawa has seemed to be one of the few teams to beat the Stamps over the years but not that day. The RedBlacks used three different QB’s but none were able to figure out the Calgary defence. The Stamps rolled to a 27-3 victory despite losing quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell in the second quarter. Back-up Nick Arbuckle completed eight passes for 84 yards and a touchdown while the three Ottawa QB’s combined for 134 yards and three interceptions. Calgary dominated this game with 375 total yards compared to the RedBlacks 150 yards of offence. Calgary was also a plus-5 in turnovers with three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Calgary improved to 4-0 with the win and have the best record in the CFL. On Friday the 13th it was a scary close game for the Edmonton Eskimos and Toronto Argonauts. A 66-yard punt single ended up being the difference as the Eskies squeaked by with a 16-15 win to improve to 3-2 on the season and now sit second in the West.

On Saturday the BC Lions welcomed back quarterback Travis Lulay for his first game of the season. It was a warm welcome too as he threw for 326 yards and a TD in a 20-17 win. The Lions moved to a 2-2 as the Bombers fell to 2-3.

My picks were 2-1 last week which improves my record to 12-7 after five weeks. My picks for week six are Hamilton, BC, Calgary, and Winnipeg.

Provincial Politics with

Greyhound Signifies Changing World

We can all agree that the end of Greyhound bus service on the prairies is a tragic loss. We should agree that this was a business decision unfortunately based on changing times and changing economies, but what seems wrong is the thinking that this somehow proves the Saskatchewan Party government was wrong last year to shudder the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC). If anything, it more likely demonstrates that the then-premier Brad Wall government decision in its austerity-minded 2017-18 budget was likely right.

Now, don’t get me wrong. This doesn’t mean losing bus service is happy news. There can be no doubt the loss of STC has hurt farmers needing parts quickly and rural students and seniors who might not have access to a vehicle or the ability to drive. The closure of STC clearly hurt those who can least afford other options and one can expect Greyhound’s Western closures will also hit the poorest the hardest.

The Federation of Indigenous Sovereign Nations (FSIN) is right that the Greyhound demise (especially, on the heels of last year’s loss of STC services) will disproportionally hurt its communities, but the notion from the Sask. Party government that the private sector would come in and take over its non-profitable routes was nonsensical from the beginning.

As questionable as some of the decisions made by those running STC sometimes were, the publicly owned bus company had long been providing a service no private company wanted to provide. Why? Well, notwithstanding strategic attempts by Saskatchewan government of all political stripes to cut route, emphasize parcel delivery and provide more luxury services like Wi-Fi, nothing seemed to work.

Ridership declined while costs went up and STC did not make a profit in its last 40 years of operation. Why, then, would anyone other than government absorb massive annual losses by trying to fulfill the impossible task of delivering passenger service to sparse, smaller rural communities?

In fact, the only profitable route (out of more than 25 routes) for STC for the last couple years was the ReginaSaskatoon-Prince Albert run. This takes us back to last week’s news that Greyhound was shuddering its services in every Western province except British Columbia.

The company said it based its decision on the fact that ridership has declined 41 per cent since 2010.

This is a stunning number, considering that Greyhound was the only public transportation option to the airlines when it came to moving people between major centres along the Trans-Canada Highway like Winnipeg, Regina and Calgary or up through the Yellowhead Highway from Winnipeg to Saskatoon To Edmonton, but with gas and diesel creeping back up $1.30 a litre, it’s easy to see why Greyhound made this business decision.

So the notion that we are hearing on social media - largely from those with ties to the NDP - that there would have been some economic windfall awaiting STC had it survived long enough to outlast Greyhound is about as nonsensical as it gets. A few years back, the Manitoba government even tried to subsidize Greyhound’s route north to rural and northern communities. Those routes were the first to go. Yes, this has created economic and social hardships for bus users, (although whether the loss of STC will truly create dire risk for First Nation women as was contended at the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women hearings seems difficult to substantiate).

After all, it could be argued that the former NDP government also put rural and northern women in peril a quarter century ago when it closed rural hospitals.

Unfortunately, this was also one of those necessary austerity measures that governments are sometimes forced to make and now the Greyhound decision only underscores that last year’s decisions to shut down STC was one of those unfortunate, unpopular and inevitable decisions.

Continuing the Fight Against Carbon Tax

At a time when the NDP wants us to wave the white flag and allow Justin Trudeau to force a carbon tax on the people of our province, new analysis confirms why our government has never supported the tax and is challenging it in court. The University of Regina’s Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Communities finds that a federal carbon tax could potentially reduce Saskatchewan’s gross domestic product (GDP) by almost $16 billion, with little effect on emissions.

The Government of Saskatchewan, in conjunction with researchers from the Institute, looked at several detailed scenarios of a federal carbon tax. The most conservative scenario shows a carbon tax of $50 per tonne would reduce provincial GDP by 2.43 per cent or $1.8 billion annually. Total impact to the provincial GDP could reach approximately $16 billion from 2019 to the end of 2030. The study also looked at the potential environmental impact of a federal carbon tax and found it will only reduce GHG emissions by less than one megatonne. This is approximately 1.25 per cent of Saskatchewan’s total emissions and would result in a cost to GDP of $1,890 per tonne.

The federal government has significantly underestimated the economic impact of its carbon tax and overestimated the expected Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reductions. This new and more thorough model indicates GDP reductions in the billions, which translates to less competitive industries in Saskatchewan and fewer jobs across the province. In addition to significant impacts on provincial and national GDP, research conducted at the University of Calgary confirms a federal carbon tax will cost an average Saskatchewan household more than $1,000 per year.

The federal government has not incorporated specific provincial economic data in its modelling. Saskatchewan exports more than any other province as a proportion of its total GDP. In 2017, Saskatchewan exports made up 47.7 per cent of the provincial GDP. The federal government has not accounted for energy-intensive, trade-exposed industries that drive our economy and has not told Canadians what they will be paying or what little impact that price will have on emissions.

Saskatchewan’s strategy will enhance our resiliency to climate change, result in actual emissions reductions, and ensure our industries remain competitive. It includes SaskPower’s commitment to achieve up to 50% electricity capacity from renewable resources and reduce overall GHG emissions by 40 per cent by 2030. This will result in GHG reductions of approximately six million tonnes. In addition, upstream oil and gas producers will reduce GHG emissions by 40 to 45 per cent through a methane reduction strategy, which will result in reductions of 4 to 4.5 million tonnes. Prairie Resilience also recognizes the prominent role of agriculture in addressing climate change and reducing emissions. Producers already sequester nearly 12 million tonnes of carbon through innovations such as zero till technology. Further reductions are expected from large industrial emitters as the performance standards are developed. Saskatchewan will make these significant reductions in GHG emissions without a carbon tax.

Working to Enhance & Expand SaskTel Service in Province

Your Saskatchewan Party government understands the importance of high-speed internet and cellular connections both in business and in our personal lives. We know that too many rural areas still have poor cellular coverage and slow internet service which is why we’re working with SaskTel to expand and enhance its network. Late last year, we announced a four-phase initiative to provide rural Saskatchewan communities with enhanced access to communications services. This work started with a SaskTel-led investment of $4.2 million to expand its High-Speed Fusion Internet Service to 34 additional towers. The second phase of this initiative will see SaskTel deploy small cellular sites to improve the level of service in 100 rural communities. The upgrades on the first 43 towers will be completed by March 31, 2019. The remaining 57 locations to receive upgrades will be announced once details are finalized. This most recent round of wireless improvements will greatly benefit many residents, farms, and businesses across rural Saskatchewan. Phase three will see us continue to explore ways for SaskTel to enhance its cooperation with the private sector to look for additional opportunities to improve rural wireless services while the fourth phase will involve research gathered to identify coverage gaps in mobility and internet service.

The data collected will be used by SaskTel to formulate a broad expansion plan to improve services.

On LOCAL BUSINESS Martensville Building & Home Supply Believes in the Power of Supporting Local Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger

Martensville Building & Home Supply has been an integral component within the community for many years.

In October of 2006, owner Anthony Nienhuis purchased the company, and since then, the business has consistently grown in size.

Cameron Tooth, a journeyman carpenter by trade, came in as Manager of Martensville Building & Home Supply in January of 2014. Tooth, who had worked with Nienhuis within his construction company prior to the move, is now heavily involved in the day to day operations of the business. “It is a big difference from going to the job site each day. Since I have taken over the day to day operations, there have been a lot of changes. We have added a new plumbing and electrical section, now stocking interior and exterior doors, stocking Trex decking and expanded our landscape section with more concrete and recycled products for our customers. We are constantly looking at ways to improve the business, bring in more customers and have more products available for those customers,” Tooth said.

With a wide array of product available and items that customers may not even know are available to them, Martensville Bldg. & Home Supply is your one stop shop for everything you need to complete any project at home or on the jobsite. Offering a range of options when it comes to windows, doors, decking, concrete, patio blocks, curbs, ramps, lumber, paint, plumbing, electrical and much more, you can be sure to find the product you require at a competitive rate. “There are things that we have here that other places don’t carry, and those items are usually better priced and a better quality product,” Mike Smith of Martensville Bldg. & Home Supply explained. If they don’t have an item on hand, they will ensure that they order it in for their customers.

Additionally, the business offers a supply of ‘Dutch Delight’ products, which includes gift items, food items and more.

Believing strongly in offering the best quality items for their customers at the best price possible, both Tooth and Smith work hard to ensure that themselves, and the staff at Martensville Bldg. provide the absolute best customer service that they can. “We like to look at it as a start to finish business. We can provide everything you need for any project. If you are building a house, we can do everything from getting the footing in the ground to landscaping your fire pit in the backyard and all things in between,” Smith stated.

With Tooth having an extensive background in construction, and Smith having spent over 20 years working within the industry, customers at Martensville Bldg. are provided not only with product required, but with the knowledge to help them complete their projects.

“We have more knowledge than most places have when you go to buy items. We can provide information using our own personal experience and knowledge. We have a lot more invested than just showing up to work and we enjoy helping our customers and being able to see their finished projects and the pride that they have when they complete it,” Tooth stated. “We love when we run into people when

we are out and about and they tell us about their projects.

People often watch shows and see projects being done, so they have an idea of what they want it to look like in the end, but they don’t know where to start. That’s where we come in. If they come in to talk to us, there is a good chance that we can not only figure it out, but supply them with everything they need and get that stuff to their house so they can get that project done,” Smith added.

Being a big believer in supporting local, a total of twelve local residents are employed at Martensville Bldg.

In addition, the business regularly sponsors local sports, events, fundraisers, facilities and more. “You can always see the businesses that have their name in the community and promote and support the local organizations, sports, etc. Yes, people can go to Saskatoon to shop for items, but by supporting these local businesses, these are the people that are helping to support our rink, our sports fields, our fundraisers. To us, that’s important…it’s about community,” Smith noted. “Even though we are a bigger city now, we have managed to maintain that small town feeling and I think that makes Martensville a great place to live. People move here for that,” Tooth added.

With already competitive prices in place, Martensville Building & Home Supply has regular sales in place, to provide customers with an even lower rate.

Also, each month a new draw is held and if customers spend $100 in store, they are automatically entered to win.

More details can be found on the ‘Martensville Building & Home Supply’ Facebook page.

Martensville Building & Home Supply is located at 601 Centennial Drive South, and can be reached at (306) 934-6610, or more information can be found be visiting http://martensvillebuilding.com.
