Reeve's Message

Smoky Lake County accomplished several milestones on the legislative front in 2012.

These milestones include the passing of Smoky Lake County’s Strategic Plan and the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and the Land Use Bylaw (LUB). These are just three of the key planning documents that guide the long term management of our County resources and infrastructure. A great deal of thought and public input went into each of them, and we thank those who participated over the long road that brought these plans into being.

Government work is never as simple as collecting taxes and spending the money. The public deserves to know that great effort is made to ensure that we do things with longer term plans and management in mind. With increasing development in our County, the demands on our resources are also increasing, so these plans are very timely.

Council has also set forth the intent that these are “living documents” that do not simply sit on a shelf. Ongoing monitoring of the goals of the Strategic Plan has been established so that when the plan is renewed, the County can move the plan forward with an eye on where we’ve been, and the MDP and LUB are similarly monitored and open to revisions as needed to accommodate new realities.

As we look ahead to 2013, the last year of this political term, we are aware that the political ground will shift somewhat in the municipal world. Following the municipal elections in October of 2013, elected Councilors will serve a four year term, which is a change that the province has committed to after many years of debate and discussion with Alberta municipalities.

I want to thank my Council colleagues and the Administration and Staff of the County for all of their hard work on behalf of the citizens of this great municipality, and say that it has been an honor to serve as your Chief Elected Official in this past term. I look forward to seeing more County progress in the years to come!

Respectfully submitted,
Dareld Cholak, Reeve
