Together, they say they will employ a new Manager of Regional Fire Services who will supervise, coordinate and support the Town and County Fire Chiefs, and make recommendations to each municipality’s Chief Administrative Officer.

The County and Town thanked Municipal Affairs for their support of this mediation process and the Mediation Committee for negotiating the resolution in good faith.

Throughout negotiations, the two municipalities say they remained committed to negotiating a fair and equitable resolution for the benefit of their communities and citizens.

They state they have enjoyed the benefits of the previous joint regional fire agreement since 2007.

“We are very happy to have reached resolution for our fire service agreement and we feel confident moving forward that both Town and County residents will continue to receive outstanding fire protection services. We wish to thank our partners at the Town of Stettler for joining us in mediation discussions, ensuring we are both able to continue providing an excellent and efficient joint regional service to our region,” said Larry Clarke, Reeve for the County of Stettler No. 6.

Going forward, the two municipalities will be negotiating a new long-form agreement that will outline how they develop levels of service, responsibilities of the Chiefs and Manager, and establish a modernized Fire Advisory Committee.
