The City of Lloydminster is working to update three bylaws due to organizational alterations within city hall.
The three bylaws include designated offices, financial administration and borrowing bylaw – operating line of credit received first reading at the July 21 council meeting.

Coun. Justin Vance was curious if funding for the borrowing bylaw has to come through municipal taxes.
“Does it always have to be paid back from municipal taxes or is there other funding sources like fees and charges or anything like that,” he asked.
“This bylaw governs how we use an operating line of credit. Because the operating line of credit is used for operating purposes, we would look to recoup that using property taxation, that’s why the bylaw is written that way,” said Adele Wakaruk, executive manager of corporate services.
The bylaws are fairly new and received a full review before being brought to council.
“When we bring anything forward, we do a full review,” said interim city clerk Shannon Rowan. “The only changes we needed to do at this point was to the title changes. Everything else was reviewed at the same time. They are fairly new. They were only brought forward in 2023.”
Changes to the bylaws were presented to council in order to address title changes. Titles such as director of public safety and executive manager of corporate services have been added.
The bylaws will return to a future council meeting for consideration.
