Continue to work with Saulteaux and Moosomin First Nation communities

as they work on their
community safety plans. This work requires patience, as it involves community development this can take a long time to build and develop. Strong leadership is required. Each community
has that leadership, however, some times those people don't emerge right away

gather information on the work around community safety
Support and Assist the Hub Table and Hub Steering Committee
.
The provincial body overseeing the work of the Hub - Building Partnerships To Reduce Crime
(BPRC) is undergoing an internal review right now, so we have had little contact with them. The
E-Learning
.
However
,
has stalled as a result
due to strong leadership within our Hub Table and Steering Committee, our groups
continue to move forward

Funding for North Battleford Lighthouse - still not secure
o
Recent reports from Saskatoon suggest that the Ministry of Social Services has
intervened with some funding, and more importantly with a commitment to look for
long term, sustainable solutions for the resource issue
February, 2016 Monitor Report - Community Safety Coordinator
o
As of last week, the manager of the North Battleford Lighthouse indicated to me that
none of that funding provided in Saskatoon was earmarked for this community. She has
not heard anything further regarding the funding
o
We do know that the Community Development Corporation has provided interim
funding that will allow the Lighthouse to operate until the end of March, but nothing is
in place right now to take them beyond that time frame. Without a solid plan for
sustainable funding, the future of the North Battleford Lighthouse is still in jeopardy
.
The Battlefords Friendship Center is nearing completion of its work around the homelessness
count - a report will be released in March. This will help us better understand the extent of the
challenges in this area. It is important to note that the work done on this project aligns with the
Federal "Point in Time (PIT)" count, and so the data in the report has a high level of fidelity and
reliability. We will look for ways to leverage this and use the data for more than just creating a
report
o
The Lighthouse will be an important part of a continuum of a broader response to issues
around poverty and homelessness
Justice
.
February 26 is the next scheduled meeting to discuss mental health and addictions issues and
the Justice system

Prairie North Health has indicated that they will attempt to devote some resources

Excellent Policing for the Communities of the Battlefords
The Battlefords Detachment Strategic Vision for 2015/2016 calls for us to move towards
Intelligence Led Policing to begin to address two key areas of policing that will impact
Detachment employees and our contracting partners; decrease calls for service/employee
workload and assurance of a valuable and sustainable service delivery.
We are currently working on our 2015-2016 year-end report to our Community Partners.
Some of the highlights of this to date are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
4th Watch Sgt – We have successfully had one of our Rural Cpl positions transitioned to a
Sgt. position and are awaiting the staffing of the same;
Add an office manager – Staffing action is completed to convert a Public Service position
to that of an office manager who will supervise both the PS and Municipal Employees.
We are currently working with PS Staffing in regards to filling this position.
More effective supervision by watch NCO’s through introduction of Case Management
Early Closure (CMECC) – The implementation took place in September and to date we
have been able to successfully deal with 3,261 files through this process.
Increase patrol and intelligence gathering time for members through time savings using
PROS Data Centre (PDC). Members are increasing their use of PDC and this is being
monitored monthly;
Use of North Battleford HUB to work with partners to address long term social, mental
health and addictions issues;
Use of the Battlefords RCMP, fire and provincial Liquor Inspector to monitor the sale
and consumption of alcohol.
Increase community contact by members through involvement in initiatives such as
Crime Free Multi-Housing, Community Safety Audits, Neighbourhood Watch and
Citizens on Patrol;
Funding by the City for 50% of a research assistant. Introduction of this position has the
potential to be one of the single most important steps to drive modernization of our
service delivery that we could make.
Introduction of a Community Constable funded by the RCMP.
We are once again hosting a Community Partners Planning meeting which will be held on
Thursday, February 25, 2016 at the Western Development Museum in regards to our 2016/17
Annual Performance Plan. Mayor Ian Hamilton and City Planner, Jim Puffalt will be in
attendance.

Proclamation
Whereas, bullying affects every community and can have a devastating
effect on children, youth, families, and communities, and,
Whereas, people can put a stop to bullying when they know how to
recognize it, how to stand up for themselves and others, and where to go for
help, and,
Whereas, Red Cross Pink Day brings attention to the need to stand up to
bullying and shows support for people who are bullied, and,
Whereas, by participating in Red Cross Pink Day and learning about
bullying prevention we show our support and help to put a stop to bullying in our
province, and,
Whereas, the Canadian Red Cross works with schools and communities
across Saskatchewan and Canada through the respected violence and abuse
prevention program to build capacity to address bullying, and,
Whereas, Red Cross Pink Day, along with Canadian Red Cross bullying
prevention training, will raise awareness of bullying and help children, youth and
adults in our community to stand up for each other and create a safer community
for all.
Therefore, the City of North Battleford hereby proclaims February 24, 2016,
as Red Cross Pink Day. We urge all residents of North Battleford to participate
in Red Cross Pink Day and to support the Canadian Red Cross by volunteering
their time or by financially supporting the Red Cross bullying prevention program.
Ian Hamilton, Mayor
Proclamation
By the powers vested in me, I, Ian Hamilton, Mayor of the City of North
Battleford, do hereby declare March 7-11, 2016 as Francophonie Week

Canada during national Francophonie week celebrations. The City will
raise the Fransaskois flag on Monday, March 7, 2016.

Memorandum
TO:
Mayor Ian Hamilton and Members of City Council
FROM:
James Puffalt, City Manager
DATE:
February 18, 2016
SUBJECT:
Battlefords News Optimist - Letter to the Editor - erroneous information
In the February 11, 2016 edition of the Battleford News-Optimist, a letter to the Editor
erroneously stated the City of North Battleford and Town of North Battleford is billing the
Battlefords Minor Hockey Association (BMHA) for kids and coaches going onto the ice early,
such as 4:15 pm, if it was available before a 4:30 pm regularly scheduled ice time.
We are pleased to advise Council that the City of North Battleford has never charged extra for
this ice time in the past nor does it plan to do so in the future. If the ice is ready, the lights are
on and the staff are in the building, we encourage the coaches and players to use the ice at the
Civic Centre and Don Ross Arena as there is no additional cost to the City and it gives Minor
Hockey some free ice time. The City of North Battleford takes our responsibility to provide
opportunities for youth and our entire Community Safety Program very seriously.
This does seem to be an issue at the Battleford Arena as we checked with Battlefords Minor
Hockey and were assured that we have not billed Minor Hockey for this ice time in error. The
Town of Battleford is a separate jurisdiction from the City of North Battleford and we of course
will not comment on another Municipalities policies and procedures. However we wanted to
provide the correctly information to the community.

City of North Battleford Archives Week 2016
The City of North Battleford Historic Archives celebrated our 81h annual
Archives week at Discovery CO-OP - Territorial Place Mall in North
Battleford on February 41h (Thursday) from noon until 6 p.m. and then on
February 61h (Saturday) from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
This year our display was entitled "Aerial Views" of the Battlefords and
surrounding area. There were approximately 123 photographs that had
been labelled and highlighted showing areas in North Battleford Battleford,
Saskatchewan Hospital Government Ridge, Cochin, Turtleford, Edam, Loon
Lake, Hamelin and rural areas along Highway 16. These photographs were
chosen out of a group of negatives that we had recently discovered in the
Lome Cooper Collection that was donated to the archives in 1996. These
aerial views have provided a great source of conversation and interest from
,
,
our volunteers and visitors at the archives. We had tried something new this
year to give our visitors a more hands on approach as we arranged and
enlarged the photographs (8x10 and 11x17) and adhered them to coroplast
so that the image could be picked up and viewed. Many visitors were
interested in finding out "where their house was" in the early 1960's to 1970's
and spent time looking at historical landmarks. A PowerPoint with 30 images
was also set up and running throughout the course of the day. Finally we
had a computer set up with a research list and help from a volunteer - for
anyone who was interested in accessing historical records such as Census
,
records,
Land
Grants,
Homestead
records
,
Historical
newspapers,
Saskatchewan Cemeteries, Saskatchewan Settlement records and Ancestry
search. This was by far the most successful display we have ever had with
approximately 600 people viewing the display over the two days. Comments
recorded include statements such as:
"
-
Found our house"
"
-
-
Thank you. Very interesting and nice visit"
"Great Display do this again!"
"Epic
,
"
-
"
-
Awesome"
It must be noted that members from Lome Cooper's family were also in
attendance. His daughter Wendy Rawlyk travelled to North Battleford to see
the display and said "It is truly an honour to have the Lome Cooper Collection
on display for Archives Week in Saskatchewan. The photographs on display
reflect how important Lome Cooper felt it was to preserve the history of the
Battlefords." His son Lome Cooper Jr. stated that "Dad would be extremely
proud of this presentation.
,
"
There were members of the community who took this opportunity to bring to
the display historical photographs and documents, to become part of the
City of North Battleford Historic Archives permanent collection and we would
like to say "Thank You" for donating this material.
,
Thank you to the Discovery CO-OP - Territorial Place Mall Thank you to
Andrew Friesen for providing the 2015 Aerial View of the City Thank you to
Ultraprint for donation of the coraplast for the backing of the photographs
Thank you to everyone who visited our display and a special Thank you to
the Saskatchewan Council of Archives and Archivists (SCAA) for funding this

Transit Expansion
,
,
Background Information
Over the past several years Administration has been working closely with Mr. Al Love Transit
Manager, on expanding services of the current Transit System. Public Transit is not a service
that a City provides for profit but rather to improve City residents" quality of life. Public Transit
accomplishes this by providing an alternative means of travel beyond vehicle ownership. It is also
critical to provide opportunity for those with limited choices such as the young, elderly, disabled
and lower-income residents. By having Public Transit in North Battleford it allows for equitable
and essential access to employment, education, commercial retailers and recreation facilities.
,
,
,
The current Public Transit System is a single-bus system running a circular route through the City
Core. This system was fully implemented in 2012 and has since tripled in ridership surpassing
21,000 riders last year. This system has reached its capacity as the route s success has led to
difficulty for the drivers completing the route in the allotted time. Other issues plaguing the existing
route include losing fares to taxis as a result of long travel times and not providing service to the
neighbourhoods of Killdeer Park and Fairview Heights-both of which have a large number of
apartment dwellings.
,
,
'
,
Discussion and Comment
Administration is recommending a two-bus single route system where buses run opposite
directions. The route will meet back at the CO-OP every hour. Once there one bus will take riders
to Killdeer Park and Fairview Heights; providing a much needed break for one of the drivers. When
the bus returns from Killdeer Park and Fairview Heights riders will be able to transfer to the bus
that provides the most efficient direction for their journey and the route will continue. This twobus system would provide far better service to most riders while deviating very little from the
existing route (attached map and spreadsheet for details).
,
,
,
,
,
The new system will provide better service to the public:
>
Shorter ride times.
> 1A hour service at stops rather than 1 hour.
> Flexible and more options for riders as they can take one bus to destination and return on
the other bus back.
> Bus route relatively the same as original so easy to understand.
>
Bus travels down collector streets rather than residential streets.
>
>
>
>
Fixed Schedule at stops.
Provides service to Killdeer Park and Fairview Heights.
Increases trips into Commercial Areas and Downtown.
This system has the ability to expand with relative ease.
>
>
>
>
Transfer point at Discovery Co-Op Mall
Able to retain nearly 80% of existing stops
Increased trips to the CUplex with focus on partnerships in the future
New locations to sell the bus passes, with more fare options available to the public
,
The public transit expansion will provide the City with a better service to the residents of North
Battleford. Transit should not solely be measured by revenue and ridership-as it provides an
essential service to many residents and businesses. For example, providing mobility to those who
would otherwise not be able to access certain services, or fully participate in the city s economy.

Public transit is a major contributor to the three pillars of success: increasing economic prosperity,
social equality and environmental sustainability. However Administration is expecting to see the
following targets to be met with expansion:
,
1) overall increase of ridership of 30%
2) increase in advertising revenue of 50% for capital replacement
3) increase in riders to the downtown by 30%
4) increase riders to the CUplex by 30%
5) generate new riders from Fairview Heights and Killdeer Park with a target of 15% of new riders
6) increase rider satisfaction
7) reduce ride times for most by 50%
8) formulate strategic partnerships with leisure services to promote future events for the City
These targets will be measured closely by Administration and the Transit Manager. A report will
be created prior to the 2017 budget outlining the effectiveness of the expansion which will also
include public surveys and consultations of resident's opinion on the service.
,
The single ride fares are proposed to remain the same but a slight increase in monthly passes is
recommended. There is also the addition of a Senior Pass and Eight Ticket Pass. The breakdown
of fares is shown below.
Adult Single Fare
Adult Monthly Fare
Adult Eight Ticket Pass
$3.00 (no change)
$60.00 (was $50.00)
$20.00 (new)
Senior (60+) Monthly Fare $50.00 (new)
Youth Single Fare
Youth Monthly Pass
$2.00 (no change)
$40.00 (was $35.00)
Through the public engagement and consultation on this project the general feedback from the
public has been extremely positive. Current riders are excited to see change and use a more
efficient service, while many non-riders support the idea and were more willing to entertain the
concept of using transit in the City, following the changes.
,
Although the engagement was successful, the following items were identified by the public:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
shorter ride times
service to the Town of Battleford
create a stop at Caleb Village (on their property)
service to Killdeer Park and Fairview Heights neighbourhoods
provide longer hours of operation
The proposed expansion meets these needs, with the exceptions of servicing the Town and longer
hours. The conversation with the Town had occurred in late October 2015, with little interest
shown at that time. Given the change in Administration, we have tried to make contact to continue
this discussion. In regards to longer hours, it is not feasible at this time with current staff, but will
be monitored and considered as proof of concept is shown.
The Transit Bus Stop locations were chosen carefully in an attempt to maximize coverage,
connect neighborhoods and areas, and cover the City with a 1,000-meter maximum distance for
walkability. The proposed location of the bus stops is attached as a spreadsheet, indicating
approximately where they are and why they were chosen. These stops were chosen as they
match the criteria the best along the route. The criteria when choosing stops was:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Not to take up a parking stall if possible
Not locate in resident's home front when possible
Located near sidewalks
Located near lighting
Located away from intersections for the purpose of snow clearing

Council may approve Transit Expansion as presented.
Council may deny Transit Expansion as presented.
Council may authorize administration to proceed with an alternative offer and/or terms.
Budget Issues
An increase in operating expenses is required for this service and has been included in the 2016
Budget Deliberations. An expected 50% increase to accommodate the April expansion is required,
with an anticipated 30% increase in revenue generated from fares.
The inclusion of a second bus on the route also allows for more advertising space to be sold. The
increased advertising revenue will go directly to capital cost replacement. The Transit Manager
and Administration have already been hard at work generating more interest in advertising on the
bus, and have sold to several prominent North Battleford businesses.
Public Notice and Communication
No Public notice is required, however, Administration has been engaging with the public
throughout this process. To date three different public surveys were conducted, two Public Open
Houses and several media releases.
If approved Administration will proceed with a strong campaign to ensure current and potential
transit riders are aware of changes. This will be done through media releases another Open
House, advertising on and off the bus (bus stops) and hosting an event in the spring. We are also
proposing to offer the public FREE transit rides on Friday April 1st and Saturday April 2nd. This
is an attempt to introduce the service to regular users and potential riders that may not normally
,
utilize transit.
Recommendationfs)
Your Administration recommends that:
Council approve the Public Transit Expansion as presented.

SUBJECT:
Discretionary Use Application- 832-1041h Street - Public Garage
,
Background Information
We have received an application to establish a Public Garage at 832-1041h Street. The
applicant is wanting to open a Speedy Collision Centre and Enterprise Rent-A-Car at the
above location. These uses are defined under a Public Garage in the Mixed Use Zoning
District and is permitted at Council,s discretion.
Discussion and Comment
The property is located along Railway Avenue and 104th Street and has an existing
building on site. Favorable consideration should be given to the site being located on a
comer lot with similar uses in the neighborhood. One of the prior uses for the existing
building was an Auto Body Shop. The redevelopment of this property would eliminate an
empty property that has been underutilized in the City for several years. Any potential
impacts of noise odour, smoke, fumes and/or vibration of the operation are not seen to
be of issue due to the site location and that the existing neighborhood already consists of
similar uses including auto body shops. Given that the neighborhood consists of similar
uses this development is not expected to have any negative impacts on the surrounding
,
businesses.
The land has been optioned by the developer on a private sale pending the approval of
this discretionary land use application. Upon approval a building and development permit
will be required to ensure all City Bylaws are met with the redevelopment of this property.
Options
Approve the discretionary land use application as presented.
Deny the discretionary land use application.
Budget Issues
None
the $500 Discretionary Land Use Fee has been collected to cover costs of this
application.
,
Public Notice and Communication
Land owners within a 75-meter radius of the proposal have been advised of the
application. The site has been posted as well as the City website and bulletin board and
at the time of writing, no objection has been received.
,
Recommendation(s)
Administration does not foresee any land use conflicts associated with this application
and recommends the application to develop a Public Garage at 832-104th Street be
approved.

To whom it may concern
,
As VP in charge of business development for Speedy Collision I would like to present to you our
plans for a location In the city of North Battleford. We have identified a location in which we desire to
run our operation out of the building that is located at 832 104th ST East in North Battleford. This
location and the building that occupies that property fits very well with our needs as it is currently
configured, and would need very little changes to be made to the current layout of the building for our
organization to run our operations from, it also has been chosen due to its close proximity to the SGI
claim center, its street visibility, as well as the ease of access it has for our future customers. With that
being said there will be various renovations that will take place both to the interior and exterior of the
building to bring it up to our companies standards to help us be recognized as the premier provider of
collision repairs in your area.
Enterprise rent a car is also one of our national partners and we have an agreement in place for
them to operate out of our facility as well which will bring another national company into your
community, and all the economic spinoffs that will come from them, as well as providing a new service
in your community for your residents.
Speedy Collision plans on providing first class collision repairs to your community as well as,
Spray in Boxliners, Glass replacement, vehicle detailing, vehicle accessories and installation, custom
painting, and full mechanical services making us a one stop shop for our customers needs. This
opportunity will provide 3-4 immediate jobs and our expectation is that within the first 18 months our
staff will increase to between 10-12 depending on community support.
Thank you for your consideration,
Pat Quinney
