The Summer Village of Norglenwold also submitted an amended notice of intent to annex land. They are seeking to annex three parcels of surrounding land.

County Council also considered a request for funding from the Stephen G. Stephansson Society with the intent to purchase a historical property. The property being sought after is the Buttermaker House in the Hamlet of Markerville.

Financial support was also a topic of conversation from the Holy Trinity Anglican Church to support the restoration of the facility. The amount requested is $75,000 for the repair of the cedar shingle roof as well as the exterior painting and general repairs.

During the public hearings, Council heard a proposal to amend the Land Use Bylaw No. 2006/6, Direct Control District #4, Section 6.0 Springbrook Comprehensive Town Centre, by adding Indoor Shooting Range as a discretionary use.

Many spoke in favor of the indoor shooting range and there were approximately 25 community members in attendance. There would be no sales of guns or ammunition and will be a membership-only facility.
