A claim put on the land that made up part of the ski hill by the former manager is still alive.
Drumheller Town Council received a letter from the counsel of Zrinko Amerl, former manager of the Drumheller Ski Hill. It was a service of a Statement of Claim. It was noted the services was made to comply with requirement of the Alberta Rules of Court.
Mayor Terry Yemen said this Statement of Claim is not new. He explains a couple years ago when the town, Ski the Badlands and the Drumheller Ski Club were wrangling to open, Amerl put a claim on the land owned by The Town of Drumheller. This area is roughly from the first tower of the lift, up.
“He put the claim on the land about two years ago,” said Yemen.
He said the correspondence keeps Amerl’s claim alive.
“Because he put that lien on the property, the statute of limitations was about to run out… this copy of the letter rekindled the claim,” said Yemen.
He said the town has no plans to take any immediate action in dealing with the claim.
