Mr. Joe Thomas entered council chambers to discuss and update the council on Bylaw 1338-22 relating to the Pincher Creek Bylaw amendment. The bylaw relates to the seasonal campground — and it was decided that administration write a letter saying that council has no concerns with the proposed bylaw.

Mr. Matt Aipperspach arrived at council to discuss drainage issues surrounding Mr. Delbert Beazer’s property. The minutes state that Beazer has water pooling at low spots around his property and he wanted to coordinate ay rectifying of the situation with the council. “It is an environmental concern and not one of the County’s.” Beazer had the information relayed to him.
