On January 13, 2025, members of the Clearwater County and Mountain View County Intermunicipal Collaboration Committee (ICC) met to discuss common interests and intermunicipal services.
This was accomplished, in part, by reviewing the existing Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) agreement.
The ICF agreement provides an opportunity for integrated and strategic planning, alongside the funding and procurement of intermunicipal services. It ensures resources are allocated efficiently when providing local services and that both municipalities contribute funding to services that benefit their residents.
Under the Municipal Government Act, municipalities that share a common boundary must create an ICF and establish an ICC.
The Clearwater-Mountain View ICC is scheduled to meet at least once every four years.
The ICC’s role is not to make decisions. Rather, the committee identifies intermunicipal opportunities and challenges and strategically prioritizes them.
These discussions guide the development of recommendations for the consideration of each municipality’s respective Council.
At the recent meeting, key topics of discussion were road conditions, current mutual aid agreements and the ICF agreement.
