Lacombe County Council and the Summer Village of Gull Lake Council recently signed an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF). The agreement specifies what and how services are funded and delivered, and also highlights the ways that the municipalities can work together efficiently.

“Lacombe County has long been a believer in the importance of having excellent working relationships with our neighbours, including the Summer Village of Gull Lake,” said Reeve Paula Law. “The signing of these ICF agreements paves a path forward for continued collaboration and communication between our communities.”

Lacombe County Council and Clearwater County Council are pleased to announce the signing of an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF). Following discussions, the municipalities worked out details for the ICF document, which specifies what and how services are funded and delivered. It also highlights the ways that the two counties can work together efficiently.

“With fewer joint services and corresponding funding agreements between our counties, the discussions and ensuing agreement were far less complex than those we have experienced with the urban municipalities in the County,” said Reeve Paula Law. “That said, this ICF is a sign of the positive – and important relationship – which we share with Clearwater County, and ensures continued collaboration and communication between our municipalities in the future.”
