Residents Of Kindersley
5 May 2016
May 5, 2016 Recipient: Town of Kindersley, Town of Kindersley Council Members and CAO Letter: Greetings, THE RESIDENTS OF KINDERSLEY NEED ANSWERS FOR HIGH WATER BILLS AND NOTICE OF LEAKS AT A PUBLIC MEETING. Many residents in the town of Kindersley are receiving extremely high water bills that can not be justified by the usage of water. Many are also receiving a notice that there is a leak within their home, we do not believe this is the case because of how many notices have been sent to all different areas of Kindersley. The residents of Kindersley would like the opportunity to ask some questions regarding this municipal matter so that it does not continue. We want to know how amounts are being calculated and then billed and how the meters work in coming up with amount of usage. This is also a request for a public meeting so that all residents can ask questions and be answered in a public forum. In Accordance with the MUNICIPALITIES Act: Public meeting 129(1) The mayor or reeve, when authorized by resolution of the council, may call a public meeting of the voters for the discussion of any municipal matter. (2) The mayor or reeve shall call a public meeting to be held within 30 days after the receipt by the council of a petition requesting that a public meeting for the discussion of a municipal matter be held, if the petition is signed by: (a) in the case of a resort village, 8% of the voters; or (b) in the case of a municipality other than a resort village, the greater of 20 voters or the number of voters equal to 5% of the population of the municipality. (3) The administrator shall determine the sufficiency of the petition and that determination is final. (4) The council shall ensure that public notice of the meeting is given. (5) If a public meeting is held pursuant to subsection (2), the council may refuse to receive any further petition on the same or a similar subject filed within one year after the date of the public meeting. 2005, c.M-36.1, s.129; 2010, c.24, s17 Thank you, Tammy Anderson Attached 117 voter’s signatures, comments and a copy of the Municipal Act at no cost to you.
