ATCO Red Flag Power Pole
The power poles flagged by ATCO Electric for repair/replacement had been approved to be done at a previous meeting.
Council had motioned to have MSI Capital cover this expense, however this work did not meet MSI Capital criteria. Therefore, the cost will be paid from reserves.
ALL-Net Communication
Council is interested in participating in a regional project to purchase a software that will help to keep residents informed on urgent and important issues.
The software called All-Net Communication will allow the Village staff to be able to send text, voice message, mass e-mail, and social media messages.
Due to the low population in the region, we can partner with the other municipalities that are interested.
