RMA has received responses from the Government of Alberta on seven fall 2019 resolutions. In previous years, the Government of Alberta has provided RMA with all resolution responses in a single package. However, the Government of Alberta has changed its resolution response process to have individual ministries directly provide RMA with responses to resolutions. As a result, RMA will receive responses to different resolutions at different times.
To ensure members are informed of resolution responses in a timely manner, RMA will share responses and initial statuses through a bulletin as they are received, in addition to continuing to publish Advocacy Report Card twice each year.
The following are the fall 2019 resolutions received to this point (click on each resolution number to view full response in the RMA Resolution Database):
# | RESOLUTION NAME | STATUS |
1-19F | Priority of Unpaid Property Taxes on Linear Property | Intent Not Met |
3-19F | Development of a Rural and Remote Lens for Government Services | Intent Not Met |
6-19F | Municipal Recourse for Solvent Companies Choosing Not to Pay Taxes | Incomplete Information |
11-19F | Requirement for Municipal Authority Input on Energy Resource Development Projects | Incomplete Information |
