City of M.L. plans to meet with RM over recreation and fire agreements
Two topics are on the minds of Meadow Lake city council members when it comes to their partnership with the Rural Municipality of Meadow Lake – recreation and fire agreement costs.
At their Nov. 14 meeting, city council agreed unanimously to formally request a meeting with RM council, which is expected to take place in before the next city council meeting on Nov. 27.
In late October, the city received a cancellation letter for the current recreation agreement, which was signed earlier this year. In an interview with meadowlakeNOW, representatives from the RM said they would like a closer analysis of the amount of RM residents that use the current recreation facilities – like the arena, pool, and Lion’s Park.
Currently, the RM pays just over $100,000 per year into the city’s facilities. If the municipality was charged on a per capita basis, the city estimates that price tag could be anywhere between $216,000 to $350,000.
