Cities seek intermunicipal off-site levies under act review
Alberta urban leaders pursue a funding protocol to charge nearby towns and counties for infrastructure built in one jurisdiction but used by residents of another. The Municipal Government Act update proposes intermunicipal off-site levies to recoup costs for roads sewers recreation facilities and fire halls. Medicine Hat and surrounding centres discuss ramifications while pledging study and talks. Mayor Ted Clugston says Cypress County and Redcliff residents could bear more costs, with ongoing funding from the county and future infrastructure deals to be decided.
