Board meetings and strategic plans from Fort Smith
The Council discussed the proposed agreement between the Northern Life Museum and Cultural Centre and the Thebacha Leadership Council, aiming for long-term governance and Indigenous stewardship. They reviewed reports on Community Services, including the successful hosting of the Fort Smith Pride Festival and evacuation support for Wrigley residents. The Council approved donation requests for youth sports camps and the Treaty Land Entitlement Celebration. Furthermore, Municipal Services provided updates on infrastructure projects, including water meter replacements and sidewalk improvements. A proposed policy regarding unattended children in the Recreation Centre was discussed, alongside updates on landfill management, protective services activities, and the transition of corporate services leadership.
The Council discussed the 2026 Mill Rate Bylaw, specifically addressing the impacts of a recent 10-year property reassessment which shifted tax burdens toward residential properties. The administration presented three taxation scenarios, and Council decided to repeal the previous mill rate bylaw and adopt a refined scenario to mitigate the tax impact. Discussions also covered taxation of country residential properties and potential strategies to encourage development on vacant properties through tax ratio adjustments. Additionally, the Council proceeded with the first, second, and third readings for the new 2026 Mill Rate Bylaw No. 1085.

The Council discussed and selected the 2026 Mill Rate calculation scenario 1, noting the importance of stability during a year of major property assessment changes. Significant discussion occurred regarding the taxation and management of vacant and derelict lots, with a consensus that taxation is not the appropriate tool for addressing derelict properties, which should be managed through bylaws. The Council subsequently passed all three readings of the 2026 Mill Rate Bylaw No. 1084.
