🖊️ 2025 Budget
Council will meet on December 15, 2024, for a full-day meeting to review and discuss the Village of Berwyn’s 2025 budget.

🖊️ Local Government Fiscal Framework (LGFF) Funding
Council reviewed pricing for a new skid steer and discussed temporary options to repair aging and failing Public Works equipment. As part of ongoing efforts to address equipment needs, the Village of Berwyn is assessing its Public Works equipment to apply for the Local Government Fiscal Framework (LGFF) grant funding. This includes evaluating both equipment replacement and necessary repairs.

🖊️ 2025 Municipal Elections
In accordance with Bill 20: Municipal Affairs Statute Amendment Act, Council directed the Village of Berwyn’s Acting CAO Jatin Saini to sign the Data Sharing Agreement and submit it to Elections Alberta.

🖊️ Procedural Bylaw 718
Council directed Administration to make minor housekeeping amendments to Procedural Bylaw 718 and bring the amended version back to the December 12, 2024 meeting for final approval. Bylaw 718 outlines the procedures for Village of Berwyn Council meetings, including rules for scheduling, the conduct of Council members, and public participation. Changes to the policy include reducing council meetings from two per month to one (to be held on the second Thursday at 6 pm) and decreasing the delegation allotment time from 30 minutes to 15 minutes. These changes will reduce costs and increase efficiencies.

🖊️ Utility Bylaw 720
Council reviewed Utility Bylaw 720, which outlines the process for administering utility accounts, water services, disconnections and reconnections, sewer, and garbage services. Council directed Administration to make a clarifying amendment for Council’s approval at the December 12, 2024, Council meeting.
