Board (CERB) asked for direction and approval from Wheat-
land County council on several community projects.
Eggcellent event The CERB fund was developed in 2012, to assist qualify-
ing non-profit organizations with operations and services
financial aid.
Page 15 “Annually the CERB board meets to review, evaluate,
prioritize and decide the distribution of funding set aside
in the community enhancement reserve,” said CERB chair,
Marcy Field.
In the last seven years, the board has distributed
$3,227,455.09 to community projects on behalf of Wheat-
land County.
This year 58 applications were reviewed, and the board
recommended council fund 49 projects. Nine applications
were declined (the complete list of disbursements can be

Field said this year the board worked on upgrading some
of the application forms and simplifying the application
process.
There was a motion approved that an $8,000 request by
the Strathmore and Wheatland County Handi-Bus be re-
moved from the list of approved applicants. Councillor Ja-
son Wilson sits on the Strathmore and Wheatland County
Handi-Bus Society board and he stated they have a large
reserve of funds this year.
There were a few particular requests that needed coun-
