Summary#

Council approved the item on its consent agenda on September 22, 2026, by a vote of 15–0. It approved adding the Renfrew Educational Services development site to Schedule A, the service-area schedule of the Rocky View County Wastewater Master Servicing Agreement, and directed City staff to amend the agreement. The materials do not state the decision’s goal or explain the expected benefits.

• The decision adds the development site to the agreement’s service area; it does not itself approve construction or guarantee a wastewater connection.
• Council also kept the closed-meeting discussion, cover report and Attachments 1–3 confidential, to be reviewed by September 2, 2036. Attachment 4 is to be made public once Recommendation 1 was approved.

What it means for you#

• Renfrew Educational Services: Its development site is included in the agreement’s service area. The materials do not say what steps, approvals or construction are still needed for wastewater service.
• Other residents and taxpayers: No direct change to household services, taxes or fees is stated in the available material.

Money#

No cost information is in the available material.

• The decision directs City staff to amend the agreement, but gives no cost estimate or staffing details.

What is unclear#

• The site’s address and the terms or practical effects of adding it are not provided.
• The public material does not explain what wastewater work, approvals or funding may still be required.
• The report and Attachments 1–3 are confidential, so their reasons, analysis and any cost information are not available here.

Case for#

• A possible argument for the decision is that adding the development site to the service-area schedule may allow it to be considered under the regional wastewater agreement. The materials do not explain the expected benefits.
• Council approved the item unanimously, 15–0.

Case against#

• Keeping the report and most attachments confidential limits the public’s ability to assess the reasons, costs and potential effects of the change.
• The available material does not show whether the service-area change is enough to support the development or what further costs or approvals may be needed.
