Deputy Mayor Gould suggested that the Mayor should pursue this matter with the Tri-Level Committee; and during discussion the mover and seconder of the proposed motion concurred with Councillor Knibb's suggestion to add to the motion that Council go on record to the effect that the Museum shall remain in the City of Saint John; and, with respect to possible safety problems to visitors to the Museum, Mr. Brown advised that, at a staff meeting earlier this date, Building Inspector J. Johnson expressed concern with respect to the current state of the building, although specifically in terms of safety he did not state that the building is unsafe, and Mr. Wilson advised that the Building Inspector has indicated that, while he will assist where possible, apparently Provincial buildings are not within his jurisdiction, whereupon the Mayor asked that the Building Inspector follow-up in this regard and submit to Council a report for referral to the Provincial Government if there is a safety problem with the building. Question being taken, the motion was carried.

Vincent withdrew from the meeting.) Question being taken, the motion was carried. Consideration was given to a report from the Acting City Manager advising that five bids were received for plumbing services and six bids for electrical services in response to the City's public tender for plumbing and electrical maintenance of City-owned buildings, and that George Byrne Plumbing & Heating Ltd., the lowest bidder on the plumbing contract, has provided this service for the past two years satisfactorily, and James Arthurs Electrical and Golden Torch Electric submitted identical bids when the estimated hours and materials stated in the bid documents are applied, although they quoted different hourly rates and mark-up percentages; also advising that James Arthurs has provided service, under contract, to the Water and Sewerage Department for the past four years to the satisfaction of staff and has a staff of three journeymen and one apprentice, and that the City's experience with Golden Torch, which has no staff and hires through the union hall on an as-required basis, has been less extensive; explaining that one of the benefits of this type of contract is the continuity of service brought to it by the individuals providing the service becoming familiar with the various electrical systems which results in less time being spent identifying and correcting problems and, for this reason, staff is recommending award of the electrical tender to James Arthurs Electrical; and concluding that the total value of the contracts, based on estimated quantities is $21,150 for plumbing services and $33,450 for electrical services. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Fitzpatrick RESOLVED that as recommended by the Acting City Manager, the tender of George Byrne Plumbing & Heating be accepted for providing plumbing maintenance and the tender of James Arthurs Electrical be accepted for providing electrical maintenance to City-owned properties, for a period of two years at the prices indicated in the submitted bid summary.

Question being taken, the motion was carried. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Fitzpatrick RESOLVED that the report from the Acting City Manager advising that, with regard to Mr. Gordon Hunt's request to Council on February 11 for better sidewalk snow control service and his complaint about the service in Rockwood Court, the City's ability to respond to sidewalk requests is very much a function of the resources provided and a new capital expenditure of approximately $400,000 for an additional eight sidewalk machines and an annual increased operating expenditure of approximately $150,000 would be required to do all the sidewalks in a timely manner; and recommending that the issue of sidewalk snow control be referred to the next budget process -- be received and filed and the recommendation adopted. Mr. Robichaud responded to Council queries with respect to the placement of salt/sand boxes in various locations throughout the City for citizens' use on sidewalks or streets in front of their residences and the possibility of citizens being able to obtain salt or sand for this purpose at the City's Works Department garages; and Mr. Jamer noted that Council was provided with a copy of the City's snow control plan which includes a list of sidewalks completed by each unit in the order in which they are plowed and, in response to Councillor M. Vincent's question about the priority rating of Rockwood Court in comparison to Rothesay Avenue, explained that sidewalks are not rated in the same manner as streets and that Rockwood Court would be approximately half-way down the list of the unit responsible for plowing Rockwood Court and Rothesay Avenue is not a high-priority sidewalk as such in that there are many more sidewalks of higher priority; however, in his opinion, Rothesay Avenue and Rockwood Court would have approximately the same priority, with Rothesay Avenue perhaps being minimally higher. Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor M. Vincent voting "nay". On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Coughlan RESOLVED that the report from the Acting City Manager advising that the City of Saint John is able to proceed with sixteen positions under Challenge '91, a Federal subsidy program for student summer employment, as follows:- one public relations researcher in the City Manager's Office, one data co-ordinator and one research assistant in the Community and Economic Development Department, one race relations assistant and one skills development instructor in the Human Resources Department, and one camp co-ordinator, five activity programmers and five integration leaders in the Recreation Department; also advising that, upon approval by Employment & Immigration Canada of the City's applications for funding under Challenge '91, the City will provide the summer jobs described and Employment & Immigration Canada will make a contribution to the City in respect to the related wages, mandatory employer costs and other costs, with the City to certify that the proposed jobs would not be created without the subsidy requested; and recommending that the Common Council authorize execution of the necessary 82-838 COMMON COUNCIL MARCH 11, 1991 application/agreements in this regard and that they be forwarded to Employment & Immigration Canada -- be received and filed and the recommendation adopted. Mr. Mcintyre, in advising that the Working Group on Race Relations is expected to make a presentation at Council's next meeting, explained that the particular purpose of a race relations assistant is to research and provide background on needs in the community; and Mr. Wilson confirmed that the City's cost, upon approval of the above positions by the Federal Government, would be in the range of $19,000 to $20,000. Question being taken, the motion was carried. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Davis RESOLVED that the report from the Acting City Manager responding to a question asked at Council's February 11 meeting during consideration of third reading of the re-zoning of 427 Prince Street about how and when the group home on the adjacent property at 429 Prince Street was approved; explaining that, while the Planning Department initially refused to endorse the permit application for 429 Prince Street because of its proximity to the long-existing special care home at 427 Prince Street, the Legal Department subsequently advised that the permit application must be approved because the residence at 427 Prince Street is not a group home but rather is a group care facility and there is no minimum separation distance required by the Zoning By-Law between group homes and group care facilities and, consequently, the application to establish a group home at 429 Prince Street was approved on February 24, 1989; and concluding that the issue of group homes being permitted to locate in proximity to existing group care facilities is being added for examination by the Planning Department to its list of issues to be dealt with in the coming year -- be received and filed. Question being taken, the motion was carried. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Landers RESOLVED that the report from the Acting City Manager advising that, with regard to Mr. Richard William's letter to Council on February 11 concerning the plowing of sidewalks on Spar Cove Road, not all sidewalks in the City of Saint John are plowed in the winter time due to a lack of resources and that sidewalks which are plowed are chosen on the basis of priority, and that, while Mr. Williams' concern was considered legitimate, the sidewalk on Spar Cove Road was not considered a very high priority; explaining that, based on inspection of the sidewalk in front of Mr. William's home, the sidewalk was found to be in a state of disrepair and could not be plowed with a sidewalk unit while in this condition and that it will be evaluated more fully this summer to determine if upgrading will allow plowing by a sidewalk unit but, in any event, this sidewalk would not be a high priority for plowing, with the resources available -- be received and filed and staff evaluate the situation and report further to Council. Question being taken, the motion was carried. Read a report from the Acting City Manager regarding the three programs available for funding under the Urban Economic Development Canada/New Brunswick Cooperation Agreement and the Saint John Central Business Development Corporation's request for Common Council to identify and authorize the official it wishes to endorse the applications for funding so that, when applications are made, they can move as expeditiously as possible; and recommending as follows:- with respect to Program 1 for streetscape improvement, Common Council authorize the City Manager to execute applications on its behalf, on the basis that applications made by CBDC, which included cost sharing with the City, would have previously been approved by Common Council; concerning Program 2 for commercial property improvement, Common Council authorize the City Manager to endorse applications on behalf of the municipality as there is no municipal financial involvement, with the only input being technical in nature provided by Community Planning to the Preservation Review Board 82-839 COMMON COUNCIL MARCH 11, 1991 and by the Building Inspector through approval of a building permit, and CBDC has a committee in place to review and recommend approval of proposals to the Province; and with regard to Program 3 for strategic projects, Common Council endorse each application under this Program for the reason that the three subsections under it are different in nature from the other Programs and Common Council may wish to retain the authority to endorse each application, which will be fewer in number because of the scale of each one and applications may also require policy evaluation and not be purely technical. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent RESOLVED that as recommended by the Acting City Manager, Common Council authorize the City Manager to endorse on behalf of the municipality any application under Programs 1 and 2 of the Agreement on Urban Economic Development and that all applications under Program 3 be referred to Common Council to authorize endorsement.

Consideration was given to a report from the Acting City Manager advising that, of the seven responses to the public tender for groundwater testing, the lowest tenderer, Apotes Analytical Services in the amount of $290 per test, does not have a certified hydrogeologist and is therefore not acceptable, and recommending award of the tender to the second low tenderer. On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor Landers RESOLVED that as recommended by the Acting City Manager, the tender of Jacques Whitford & Associates Ltd., at a cost of $317.75 per test, be accepted for providing groundwater testing in the area of the Spruce Lake landfill site. Question being taken, the motion was carried. Consideration was given to a letter from the City Solicitor advising that the Common Clerk has requested his advice on a matter involving an error in the minutes of October 29, 1990 dealing with the award of the tender for the supply of sand and gravel in that, although Common Council resolution of October 29 refers to delivery as required over the 12-month period of November 1 to October 31, the City Manager's recommendation in his report was for award on a 6-month supply based on a tender call to that effect, although the report also referred to the fact that the previous tender calls had been for award for a 12-month period; and expressing the opinion that the subject resolution should be rescinded and the record of its passage expunged from the minutes and, if the rescinding motion is adopted, the Common Clerk does not obliterate the motion but marks it "expunged by order of the Common Council" and indicates the date, and that, following adoption of the rescinding resolution, Council should adopt a corrected resolution indicating the 6-month period of November 1, 1990 to April 30, 1991 and forward the new resolution to the appropriate parties. On motion of Councillor Flewwelling Seconded by Councillor Gould RESOLVED that Common Council resolution of October 29, 1990 dealing with the award of the tender for the supply of sand and gravel be rescinded.

Barry Roderick, solicitor representing Atlantic Wholesalers Ltd., operators of Superstore Mall located at 168 Rothesay Avenue, concerning the Days of Rest Act in that his client would apply for similar permission should the operators of McAllister Place Mall be permitted to open Sunday operations; advising that, while the Provincial Days of Rest Act prohibits the opening of many outlets on a day of rest, such as a Sunday, there is a provision in Regulation 89-46 under the Act to allow a person to make application to the Provincial Board to declare an area to be a tourist area, with the only involvement of a municipality in the matter of applications being that the Board takes into consideration, among other things, whether the municipality supports having an area declared a tourist area; and concluding that, as Mr. Roderick's letter to Council does not request Council's views on the matter, it is not necessary for Council to take any action at this time -- be received and filed.
