Greenviews revenue comes primarily from our ratepayers, which include our citizens and major industries such as
forestry, oil and gas, tourism, mining and agriculture. These individuals and organizations are also the primary users
of Greenviews programs and services, deriving benefit from the expenditures within Budget 2017.
This document outlines the decisions that Council has made regarding the provision of services and
programs within Greenview. In adopting Greenviews Capital and Operating Budgets for the 2017 fiscal year and
proposed budgets for 2018 and 2019, the revenues and expenditures are reflective of decisions that Council has
made to maintain existing infrastructure, further develop our roads and facilities, and support our urban partners. All
of this while being cognizant of the current economic conditions in our Province and our local communities.
This document is a comprehensive source of information which outlines how Greenview is raising revenue and how
those funds are being spent to provide services and infrastructure for Greenview now and into the future.

Message from the Reeve
I am pleased to present Greenviews 2017-19 Budget on behalf of Council. This document builds on the work that
has been done in recent years to increase transparency of the budgeting process for our residents and ratepayers.
We are investing in projects that are important to our residents and building safe, sustainable communities.
Budget 2017 reflects the infrastructure, programs and services that Greenview residents want and use every
day. Council has established priorities within our budget planning process which guide decision making regarding
expenditures. Our property tax rate and business tax rates remain the same. These rates continue to be below
average when compared to other municipalities in the region.
Both residential and industrial ratepayers will benefit from our ongoing commitment to build and maintain
infrastructure. Greenview will pay $4 million which is 50 per cent of the total construction for the new Fox Creek Fire
Hall. This includes $2.3 million in new funding and $1.75 million carried forward from 2016. We will also provide $1
million for new Protective Services vehicles throughout the municipality.
We will be investing $1.7 million in bridge construction and replacement. New road construction and surfacing
projects amount to $18.9 million dollars, with $2.2 million carried forward from 2016. Surfacing of Range Road 230 is
budgeted for $5.9 million. The Forestry Trunk Road near Economy Creek will receive a $2.5 million realignment and
an additional $3 million for other upgrades. Funds are also budgeted for connector roads ($1.2 million) and local road
construction ($1.5 million).
Upgrades to the Environmental Services Infrastructure are $20.8 million, which includes industrial lagoon construction
at $5.4 million and water treatment plant upgrades in Ridgevalley ($4 million) and Grovedale ($4.98 million). Work
continues on determining the viability of additional water treatment options for Grovedale/Landry Heights and the
Grande Cache area.
This years contribution to the multi-year construction of indoor recreation facilities is $24 million. These funds will
be dedicated to completing the Valleyview Multiplex, providing $9.9 million in 2017, and $14.3 million for the Fox
Creek Multiplex. Recreational facility upgrades to campgrounds and parks are funded at $800,000. New recreation
projects of note include $500,000 for the new Johnson Park near Valleyview and $111,000 for upgrades to the day
use area at Grande Cache Lake. The Smoky River Recreation Area and walking trails in Ridgevalley will each receive
$100,000.
Working with our urban partners to support their goals, we are investing $9.1 million in the Community Development
Fund. The Towns of Valleyview, Fox Creek, and Grande Cache will each receive $3 million of this funding. Greenview is
also dedicated to directly supporting our communities, with $3.8 million in Community Grant funding being provided
to local community groups.
I look forward to the outcome of the new and ongoing projects and services detailed within the 2017 Budget. This
is a time of unlimited opportunity for Greenview as we are building the long term sustainability of our economy and
our communities. Together with Council and Administration, I will continue to ensure our ratepayers funds are well
invested in Greenviews future.

Message from the CAO
In preparing the annual budget, Administration follows the directions and priorities set by Council with
the intent of meeting the service demands of our many diverse ratepayers and communities. This includes taking
direction regarding not only the services that Council wishes to provide, but also what level Council wishes to
provide the services at. Once determined by Council, Administration sets about providing the services and programs
efficiently in the present while planning and preparing for future growth and future ratepayers, both people and
businesses, who will call Greenview home. To this end, Greenviews 2017- 2019 Budget represents both internal and
external changes to the organization. The current economic environment in the Province and our local communities
was a prime consideration during budget development. Additional detail on programs and services will be made
available at www.mdgreenview.ab.ca.
The 2017-2019 budget maintains an aggressive work plan for the municipality in order to build and replace
infrastructure. Projects that have already begun, such as the Recreation Multiplex in Valleyview continue and are
joined by other works such as a Fire Hall and Multiplex in Fox Creek funding for both of these projects was previously
set aside, which allows them to move forward without the need for additional taxation.
The budget also maintains robust partnerships with neighbouring municipalities such as the Towns of Fox Creek,
Grande Cache and Valleyview. Partnership areas such as Recreation, Protective Services and Culture (libraries,
museums, etc.) continue for the benefit Greenviews communities and taxpayers. From a pure dollar perspective
Greenview is a leader in the Province regarding the funding that it provides to its regional partners.
Throughout the 2017-2019 budget process, Council has provided leadership and directions regarding the services
to be provided to the ratepayers of Greenview. The 2017-2019 Budget reflects that direction and Councils desire to
deliver services for the enrichment of Greenview, both present and future.

Message from Corporate Services
Greenviews Operating and Capital Budget is an annual challenge, which is diligently addressed by Council and
Administration. Council approved the 2017 budget and accepted the 2018 and 2019 budgets as information. The
2018 & 2019 along with a 2020 proposed budgets will be readdressed again in the summer/fall of 2017. Our aim is
to have the following years budget approved by Council before the end of the current year.
Our new improved budget process started in July 2014 and encompasses a three-year period. This process engages
the participation of every department, working together to estimate forecasted revenue and expenses required
to provide our communities, industry and urban partners with programs and services that meet their needs and
enhances our quality of life.
The intent of our three-year budget process is to enable managers to access potential costs associated
with the upcoming planned activities in a timely manner, as well as prepare and release tenders, requests for proposal
and requests for quote documents early in the year. This should enable the organization to create efficiencies by
being ready to start capital projects as soon as weather permits.
Council and Administration have designed and revised a proposed 10-Year Capital Plan with infrastructure and
service projects, following Councils direction. The plan balances short and long term projects that will be developed
throughout Greenviews vast area. This report includes the projects that will be carried out in 2017 as well as the
capital projects/expenditures proposed for 2018 & 2019.
Our estimated 2017 revenue is at $111,557,212 (of which $23,493,114 is collected for the provinces
Education Tax). Reserve Revenue required to balance the 2017 budget is at $49,765,438, which includes an investment
of $74,738,451 on capital projects and a forecasted overall operational expenditure of $86,584,199 (Education Tax to
Province is at $23,493,114) without an operating contingency for the same period.
Greenview will continue to work to build an efficient and transparent organization, proudly represented
by an outstanding team composed of administrative support sta, coordinators, operators, labours, fleet technicians,
supervisors, managers, general managers, chief administrative officer and councillors.
We hope that this information serves a useful purpose for the members of our community and encourage the
community to send Administration their feedback and suggestions.
