History
The Town of Strasbourg is an urban municipality in southern Saskatchewan incorporated on July 1, 1907 under the provisions of The Municipal Amendment Ordinance of 1901. The town is located east of Last Mountain Lake and approximately 75 kilometres from Regina. The town's name was originally Strassburg until the spelling was changed to its current format in 1919. The town is located in the Rural Municipality of McKillop No. 220 and serves as the administrative centre of the rural municipality.
The town is governed by a council consisting of a mayor and councillors, each elected for a three year term. The goals of the council are to provide good government; provide necessary services and facilities for all or part of the municipality; develop and maintain a safe and viable community; and foster economic, social and environmental well-being. The council holds jurisdiction over police and fire protection; water and sewer utilities; parks and recreation and waste management.
The council makes decisions and exercises its power through the passage of resolutions and by-laws. By-laws enforced by council include those relating to building; wild and domestic animals; nuisances; transport and transportation systems; streets and roads; businesses and business activities; signs and zoning. Council is also responsible for the collection of revenues; issuing tax and assessment notices; administration of the operating and capital budgets and preparation of annual financial statements.
The Town of Strasbourg is currently (2010) governed by a mayor and six councillors. An administrator (previously known as the town clerk) oversees the day to day operations of the town; advises on policy and ensures council policies are carried out. Council meets every second Wednesday of the month. The town's current population is 732.
