2The Metis Settlements Act (S.A. 1998 Chapter M-14.3)
enables the Metis Settlements General Council to legislate by Policy
and Settlement Councils to legislate by bylaw on matters related to
the operations of utilities within the settlement areas, including
the granting of interests in land, the assessment and taxation of
these interests, and the licencing of related activities. [s.222(1);
Sch.1, ss.14, 19]. Under Metis Settlements General Council Public
Utilities Policy (GC-P9804; Alberta Gazette, Nov.30, 1998, p.2221)
a Settlement may enter into Utility Service Agreement allowing a utility
to use land and provide utility services in the Settlement Area and providing
for the utility to pay an all inclusive annual service fee. The fee may be
determined as a percentage of gross revenue received from services provided
in the Settlement Area. Each of the listed Settlements has entered into a
Utility Service Agreement with AltaGas Utilities. Under the Public Utility
Policy [s.2.3(3)] the Service Agreement takes effect on being approved by bylaw
and by the Alberta Utilities Commission.
