Borrowing Bylaw 14-25

Members of the public are encouraged to provide feedback regarding Borrowing Bylaw 14-25.

Bylaw 14-25

Bylaw 25-24 Administrative Consolidation

The purpose of Bylaw 14-25 is to amend Bylaw 25-24 Borrowing Bylaw for the Foothills-Okotoks Regional Water Project by increasing the borrowing for the project from $30.0M to $50.0M. 

The Municipal Government Act permits borrowing bylaws to be amended if actual construction costs/borrowing needs exceed initial estimates., as is the case with the project. The amending bylaw will borrow an additional $20.0M from the original borrowing bylaw of $30.0 Million. The recovery of these costs will be through the off-site levy. 

Grants have offset the borrowing amount, thus reducing the amount of financing otherwise required.

Feedback on Bylaw 14-25 can be provided to Legislative Affairs or Finance .

Council of the Town of Okotoks will consider adoption of Bylaw 14-25 at the May 26, 2025 Regular Council Meeting unless a petition of the electors for a vote on Bylaw 14-25 is received as provided for in sections 219 through 226, and 231 of the Municipal Government Act.

Petitions must be received by the Legislative Affairs Manager no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 5 Elizabeth Street, Okotoks, Alberta. For further information please contact Finance.
