Message from
the President
ON BEHALF of the SARM Board of Directors, welcome to the 116th Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities
Annual Convention – held for the first time in our history in a digital format, taking place virtually Tuesday, March 9
and Wednesday, March 10, 2021.
Although we won’t be meeting in person, we are still coming together to debate resolutions, participate in the
bear-pit and dialogue sessions, and hear from our Premier Scott Moe.
The pandemic has shed light on the digital divide and it is incumbent on all of us to work together to ensure rural
residents, rural business, and rural communities in Saskatchewan also have access to reliable and affordable broad-
band.
I look forward to “seeing” you over the next couple of days and hearing from the many voices of rural Saskatchewan.
Ray Orb
SARM President
The pandemic has shed light

also have access to reliable and
affordable broadband.

Message from
the Executive
Director
ON BEHALF of SARM and the whole team, we are so glad you’ve joined us for our first ever digital convention.
This year’s Annual Convention is a bit different, but the reason we come together is still the same. It has been a year of
learning for all of us as we navigate the pandemic, change, and figured out how to implement different technologies.
We’ve had an opportunity to learn some things we will take with us and use into the future.
We are proud to partner with our members and work together to advance important issues facing each of you. Please
take the opportunity to participate in our virtual content and tradeshow. While doing so, learn a little along the way.
Here’s to a unique way to get come together. I look forward to seeing you all, in person, in the near future.
Have a great convention!
Jay B. Meyer
Executive Director
Message from
the Minister
WELCOME to the 116th annual convention of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.
This year marks a first for SARM members. Your organization’s annual gathering is moving forward because everyone is
staying apart. You are meeting the challenge of COVID-19 by going digital so your important work may continue.
This is key to Saskatchewan’s future. That’s because this annual convention plays a pivotal role in building our great
province. It brings together local leaders and stakeholders to discuss new ideas. It contributes to stronger and more
collaborative relationships. It fosters a single and effective voice for rural issues.
Your commitment does not go unnoticed. Moving forward as you have in 2021 illustrates your dedication as SARM
members. As reeves, councillors and administrators, you strive to make your communities better places for all who make
their homes and livelihoods in rural Saskatchewan.
Thanks to your determination as local leaders, and to the unwavering character and resilience of Saskatchewan people,
our great province will remain strong.
Together, we will overcome this pandemic and continue to build a better Saskatchewan this year and in the years to
come.
Have a great and safe virtual convention. Thank you.
The Honourable Don McMorris,
Minister of Government Relations
Minister Responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs

How to SPEAK at SARM Convention
We know that having your voice heard is an integral part of our resolution session, so we
are happy to provide accessible ways for you to give feedback. During this year’s session,
SARM will be using a teleconferencing line to allow people to call in and speak.
Dial in Phone #: 1-866-438-1084 (cell phone or land line required)
If you are the mover of the resolution:
If you are the mover of the first scheduled resolution, you will dial 1-866-438-1084 at the opening of the
resolution session. You will be greeted by an operator who will take your name, title, and municipality, and will ask if you
are the mover. You will be joined to the call with your line muted until it is your turn to speak. Please turn off the audio
on your computer as you will now be able to listen to the meeting over the phone and it may be a little ahead of what
you were hearing through your computer. When the first resolution is called and read and it is your turn to speak, the
operator will announce you and unmute your line. At this time, you will have two (2) minutes to speak. There will be
a timer on screen, so please be aware of how much time you have remaining. The Resolutions Chair will let you know
when your time has expired, and your line will be muted. The mover will stay on the line until debate is closed, and then
will have one (1) minute to close.
If you are a mover of a resolution, once debate has begun on the resolution prior to the one you are moving, dial
in so you are standing by to speak to your resolution. Be prepared to tell the operator your name, title, municipality,
resolution number that you wish to speak to.
If you are calling with an amendment, clarifying a question or
to speak for/against:
If you are wanting to make an amendment, ask a question of clarification, or speak for/against the first
scheduled resolution you will dial 1-866-438-1084 when the Resolutions Chair indicates it’s time to do so. You
are only permitted to call if you are speaking on the resolution being debated. If you are calling regarding another
resolution, you will not be placed in the queue, and your line will be disconnected. You will be greeted by an operator
who will take your name, title, and municipality and ask you the purpose of your call, to which you should respond that
you want to speak in favour, against, make an amendment, have a point of information (meaning you have a question
for clarification), etc.
You will be joined to the call with your line muted until it is your turn to speak. Please turn off the audio on your
computer as you will now be able to listen to the meeting over the phone and it may be a little ahead of what you were
hearing through your computer. Callers will be placed in the queue in the order in which the call was received.
When it is your turn to speak, the operator will announce you and unmute your line.
The member will then have two (2) minutes to speak. There will be a timer on screen, so
please be aware of how much time you have remaining. The Resolutions Chair will let you
know when your time has expired, and your line will be disconnected. Once the debate is
concluded, any other callers in the queue will have their lines disconnected (aside from
the mover of the next resolution). Once you have cast your vote for the resolution being
debated, you may call in if you want to speak to the next resolution, amend it or have a
point of information. The same will apply to all resolutions as the meeting continues. Be
prepared to tell the operator your name, title, municipality, resolution number that you
wish to speak to, and that you are the mover.
Again, please remember to turn the volume off on your computer as soon as you are
connected to the phone. Please do not try to call in earlier than permitted. Operators
will only join callers who are dialing in for the debate a resolution once the previous
resolution has gone to vote.

Resolution PROCEDURES
Acronyms and Definitions
Secretary of the Convention (CS) – for our purposes, as it relates to resolutions, the secretary of the
convention (CS) is the Executive Director of the Association.
Executive Director (ED) – is the Executive Director of the Association.
Emergent Resolution (ER) – an RM has the option of submitting a resolution to the ED after the deadline for
resolutions has passed. This is defined as an Emergent Resolution (ER).
Policy Staff (PS) – includes the Policy Staff of the Association.
Resolutions Committee (RC) – is appointed by resolution of the board and is established to administer the resolution
process.
Resolutions Committee:
• The SARM Board of Directors will appoint a chair to the resolution session.
• The RC recommends to the delegates a parliamentarian to oversee the resolution process.
• The recommendation is voted on by voting members at the start of the first resolution session. The
parliamentarian appointed at that time remains appointed for the duration of that convention.
• Three Board Members, as assigned at pre-convention meeting, present the resolutions provided to delegates
previously, at the convention; it is common practice that the three Board Members from the Division holding
elections that year present the resolutions.
Procedure for Dealing with Resolutions:
• Each resolution to be heard will be presented in the following manner:
1. The number and title of the resolution is read by an RC member;
2. The operative clause of each resolution is then read;
3. A mover is requested for the resolution. If no mover, the resolution is effectively withdrawn and will not be
voted on by the delegates;
4. The Chair opens the floor up to debate – each RM may speak two times in a debatable resolution, but the RM
does not get a second turn as long as another RM wants to speak for the first time;
5. The RM that moved the resolution has first right to speak to the resolution. The RM representative (Member of
Council or Administrator, with permission of Council) must rise, obtain floor and speak through the Chair. An
RM is not allowed to speak against its resolution but may vote against it if it has changed its position. The mover
will be given 3 minutes to speak to the resolution;
6. Other RMs may speak to the resolution after the mover has spoken or declined to speak to the resolution.
The RM representative (Member of Council or Administrator, with permission of Council) must rise, obtain
floor and speak through the Chair. The RM representative will be given 2 minutes to
speak to the resolution.
7. Discussion continues until the Chair realizes that the membership is ready to vote –
may ask, “is there any further discussion?”;
8. The Chair calls for the question – “Hearing none, the question is on the adoption of
the resolution on [Insert resolution title]. Please vote now;
9. Resolutions must receive 50% + 1 of the votes in order to pass. Those resolutions
dealing with Association Bylaws must receive two-thirds of the vote in order to
pass; and
10. The Chair announces the result of the vote as “resolution is carried” or “resolution
is lost” and, in the case of votes conducted using electronic voting machines or
contested votes, presents the votes ‘for’ and ‘against’ the resolution.
13Special Case: Contested Vote
• An RM that doubts the results of a vote can call out “Division”.
• At that time, the Chair then says, “All those in favor please rise. Be seated.” Votes are then counted and recorded by
PS and assistants.
• The Chair then says, “All those opposed please rise. Be seated.” Votes are then counted and recorded by the PS and
assistants.
• The ED tallies up recorded votes from PS and assistants and provides the Chair with the final numbers.
• The Chair then announces the results of the vote as “resolution is carried” or “resolution is lost” and presents the
percentages of votes ‘for’ and ‘against’ the resolution.
Special Case: Permission to Withdraw or Modify a Resolution Prior to Vote
• Before the Chair reads the resolution, it belongs to the maker of the resolution and the RM can withdraw it or
modify it without permission of the delegation by contacting the ED.
• In this case, the Chair reads the resolution in its modified version or states that the resolution has been withdrawn.
Withdraw:
• Once the resolution has been read, then the maker must ask permission to withdraw it.
• This is not debatable.
• Vote by general consent.
Modification:
• Once the resolution has been read, then the maker must ask permission of the delegation through the Chair to
modify it (operative clause(s) only) OR// another RM can rise and ask the maker through the Chair to modify it. If
the maker agrees with the modification, then the delegation is asked through the Chair for permission to accept the
proposed changes to the resolution (operative clause(s) only).
• The Chair then asks the delegation to vote on the proposed amendment.
• If the delegation agrees with the amendment by a majority vote, then the resolution is treated as a regular resolution
and is debatable in its new form.
• If the delegation does not agree with the amendment, then the resolution is treated as a regular resolution and is
debatable in its original form.
Special Case: Tabling a Resolution
• An RM may make a motion to table the resolution.
• This is not debatable.
• Requires a majority to adopt.
• Resolution will be considered at the end of the POP session on the last day of the convention. The tabled resolution
will be considered as a regular resolution at the POP session.
• POPs will not be tabled. These resolutions can be taken off of the table and reconsidered at a following convention if
submitted following the regular resolution process.
Special Case: Taking a Resolution Off of the Table
• An RM may make a motion to take the resolution from the table.
• This is not debatable.
• Requires a majority to adopt.
• Resolution cannot be reconsidered at that convention.
Special Case: Reading Like Resolutions Together
• The Chair may decide to read related resolutions together or an RM may make a motion to read related resolutions
together.
• The Chair determines if this is an appropriate course of action.
• If appropriate, the Chair reads each resolution in its entirety beginning with the resolution that would normally be up
for debate at that time and then follows the normal resolution process.

Impacting the Agriculture Industry
Ministry of Agriculture
Weed Control Expenses Incurred on Ministry of Highways Land
1-21A | RM of Duck Lake No. 463
WHEREAS The Weed Control Act mandates that landowners, land occupants, municipalities and appointed weed
inspectors take the measures necessary to control prohibited, noxious and nuisance weeds; and
WHEREAS the Ministry of Highways is an owner/occupant of various lands along provincial highways across
Saskatchewan; and
WHEREAS The Weed Control Act allows the municipality’s appointed weed inspector to issue a control order to
landowners and occupants. If they remain non-compliant, the municipality carries out the order at the expense of the
municipality until costs are recovered through invoice or land tax payment; and
WHERAS the Ministry of Highways does not pay land taxes to the municipality for the land they own along the highway,
the municipality cannot collect back for costs associated with carrying out the order; therefore, this cost is born by all
ratepayers in the municipality.
BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the provincial government to amend The Weed Control Act to allow for all costs
incurred by a municipality with relation to detecting, notifying, corresponding, controlling, etc. prohibited, noxious and
nuisance weeds on Ministry of Highways lands to be recovered in the same manner as taxes pursuant to The Cities Act,
The Municipalities Act or The Northern Municipalities Act.
Carried q Lost q

WHEREAS the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) has a Beaver Control Program as funded
through the federal and provincial governments for which numerous municipalities and highways programs are

problem is affecting roads, pastures, agriculture crops and residential areas through the flooding due to the beavers
damming.
BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the federal and provincial governments to provide additional funding and resources in
assisting in the control and removal of beavers.
Carried q Lost q

Compensation Program.
BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the provincial government to make necessary changes to farm support programs so

WHEREAS the Saskatchewan Government (Water Security Agency) has been working to create a Water Management
Strategy; and
WHEREAS the Saskatchewan Minister of Agriculture has publicly stated that he does not want to get involved in water
issues to help protect his industry from undue negative outside pressures on the agricultural land use.
BE IT RESOLVED that SARM work with the Water Security Agency, Saskatchewan Agriculture, and related non-

5-21A | RM of Duck Lake No. 463, RM of Prince Albert No. 461, RM of Buckland No. 491
WHEREAS Municipalities can pass a bylaw for implementing fire bans within a municipality when fire hazard conditions
arise; and

implementing fire bans in neighboring forests or provincial parks, it puts the citizens in the rural municipality at an
unnecessary risk.
BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the provincial government to implement fire bans in specific areas where the
surrounding municipality has implemented a fire ban due to the area being under extreme fire hazard in order to protect
citizens.
Carried q Lost q
17Tire Recycling
6-21A | RM of Montrose No. 315
WHEREAS there are costs and restrictions for tire recycling resulting in limited resources for recycling. Due to Ministry
of Environment regulations, we are unable to collect and/or burn tires; and

customer and the Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan (TSS) collects those fees and provides tire collection services to
the retailers; and
WHEREAS not all tire retailers offer or promote to the customer that they will take back their old tires to be recycled at
no charge; and
WHEREAS the TSS offers a Return to Retailer Program to allow Saskatchewan residents to drop off old tires free of

WHEREAS Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation compensates producers for damages for the lost crop but does
not compensate for costs for obtaining and hauling replacement feed where swathed grazing areas are lost; and
WHEREAS the groups of elk are in herds of 40 or more.
BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the Ministry of Environment to increase the season for antlerless elk tags for zones
with high and increasing elk populations; better manage herd populations so financial impacts to agricultural and cattle
producers are reduced, overall health of the elk population is improved, and the risk of increased predator populations
(ex. wolves) is reduced; and

WHEREAS opting out of the Clearing the Path (CTP) Program can be done by either SARM or a participating municipality
after providing one year notice to either party; and
WHEREAS significant dollars have been invested by the senior levels of government to ensure CTP primary weight trade
corridors are developed and maintained to provide predictable and uniform access without having to obtain permits and
pay fees to individual municipalities; and
