On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent
RESOLVED that minutes of the
meeting of Common Council, held on March 18, 1991, be approved.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Her Worship the Mayor welcomed to the Council Chamber Mr. Joel
Levesque, Interim President of Keep Saint John Beautiful Inc., who presented to the
City of Saint John three plaques of appreciation for the City's support to the group
through the 1989 and 1990 Great McAllister Christmas Tree Mulch events and the Glad
To Help Saint John Clean-Up campaign on Earth Day 1990. The Mayor accepted the
plaques with appreciation to the civic unions and staff. The Mayor noted that Wayside
Industries is adding a $400,000 expansion to its Saint John plant which will create 8
new jobs, increasing the plant's full-time staff to 33 persons and, with regard to
Councillor Coughlan's concern about the number of items included on the Committee of
the Whole agenda of this date compared to the number of items on the open session
agenda, made the observation that the Acting City Manager is attempting to bring up to
date matters which remain on the former City Manager's list, and Councillor Coughlan
suggested that consideration should be given to the reformation of the committee to
review the agenda format. Councillor M. Vincent extended a message of condolence
to the family of the late Mr. Fred Tobias, who passed away on March 19.
On motion of Councillor Rogers
Seconded by Councillor Landers
RESOLVED that the letter from Mayor
Wayne submitting a letter from River Valley Ground Search & Rescue Inc. advising of
its need of supplies and equipment to fulfill its obligation to the community and offering
to meet with Council to discuss its ability to help -- be received and filed and a donation
of $200 be approved.
Councillor Knibb suggested that the above request should be referred to
the Acting City Manager to determine what the group is requesting as the letter leaves
some doubt as to whether the request might be for a cast-off City truck or other
equipment.
82-855
COMMON COUNCIL
MARCH 25, 1991
On motion of Councillor Rogers
Seconded by Councillor Landers
RESOLVED that the above matter be
referred to the Acting City Manager to determine what form of assistance the group is
requesting.
Question being taken, the referral motion was carried.
Read a letter from Councillor Flewwelling referring to Council's March 11
award of a contract for the testing of groundwater in the Spruce Lake area, and to the
affirmative reply from the Assistant City Manger - Operations, before the contract was
awarded, to a question of whether the tender call required the employment of a
hydrogeologist on the company staff; advising that since that time, he and the Deputy
Mayor have examined the tender call and observed that the requirement did not ask for
a hydrogeologist to be on staff, but instead stated "a consultant will be required to
perform a liaison function with the N.B.D.O.E. Hydrogeologist assigned to this project.";
and expressing the opinion that it is important that Council know why it was informed in
this manner because everything points to the fact that the low tenderer had the
qualifications and met the tender call.
Consideration was also given to a report from the Acting City Manager
explaining that, although Mr. Robichaud indicated that the tender awarded on March 11
for groundwater testing required a hydrogeologist in order to qualify for the contract, the
tender document does not state specifically that a hydrogeologist is required but it does
infer that someone with at least this qualification is needed and, indeed, it is a
requirement of the New Brunswick Department of the Environment; also explaining
that, following receipt of tenders originally called in December 1990 for this work at the
Spruce Lake landfill site, the City was advised by the Department that changes in the
specifications would be needed to satisfy its requirements, such changes being in the
area of quality control, data interpretation and reporting and liaison with its
hydrogeologist and that, in order to meet these changes, it was necessary to reject all
tenders, rewrite the specifications and re-advertise, with the report submitted to Council
on March 11 indicating that the low tenderer, Apotes Analytical Services, did not have a
certified hydrogeologist on staff and therefore was not acceptable; pointing out that,
prior and subsequent to the award by Council, a number of discussions and meetings
took place between Apotes Analytical Services and the Purchasing Agent during which
the need for a hydrogeologist was stressed and, while Apotes Analytical Services has a
chemist with experience in hydrogeology, the Environment Department advised that it
required a consultant with a certified hydrogeologist on staff thus making Apotes
Analytical Services' bid unacceptable, with the recommendation to Council being to
accept the second lowest bid.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Davis
RESOLVED that the above letter from
Councillor Flewwelling and the report from the Acting City Manager be received and
filed.
Mr. Robichaud explained that, having met with Provincial Environment
Department staff to discuss the first tender for groundwater testing, which closed on
January 9, 1991, it was determined that the Province had concerns about quality
control and a requirement for a hydrogeologist to evaluate water movement rather than
from a water sampling point of view and that, having rejected the first tenders so that a
second tender could be advertised, the Province followed up the meeting with a letter
indicating three points which it wanted covered in the second tender call, one of the
points being to hire a hydrogeologist and that the Province's statement in this regard
was inserted into the terms of reference for the second tender call, and that, although
the wording could have been clearer to state specifically that a hydrogeologist was
wanted, the Province and the City both were of the opinion that the wording was
adequate to indicate that a hydrogeologist was a requirement and, in fact, several of
the firms did bid utilizing a hydrogeologist. Councillor Rogers expressed the opinion
that the tender should be declared null and void as the wording in question does not
indicate that a hydrogeologist is needed on staff to perform the function, therefore, it is
82-856
COMMON COUNCIL
MARCH 25, 1991
misleading and unfair to the tenderers, and the City should re-tender for this service;
and Deputy Mayor Gould expressed concern that a hydrogeologist on staff was not
asked for in the tender call and the lowest tenderer is of the opinion that he meets all of
the requirements and has all of the professional persons required to carry out the
duties. Councillor Landers asked if the need for a hydrogeologist was conveyed
verbally to the tenderers after the specifications were prepared on the basis that the
lowest tenderer, while not having a hydrogeologist on staff, could have access to such
service, and the Mayor clarified that the lowest tenderer, according to staff, had not
informed the City that it had access to a hydrogeologist which was the reason for staff's
recommendation to accept the second lowest tenderer, rather than that the lowest
tenderer would not be capable. Councillor Flewwelling expressed the understanding
that the lowest tenderer would have been able to hire a hydrogeologist to work with it
for the period of time in question, and suggested that staff should contact Apotes
Analytical Services on the basis that it was unaware of the requirement for a
hydrogeologist until after the tender closed and is concerned that the award of the
tender to another firm could lower its standards as far as others are concerned.
Councillor M. Vincent advised his intention to propose a motion to table this matter for
one week for referral to the City Solicitor for a report to Council. With respect to
Councillor Fitzpatrick's question as to whether or not, in view of the manner in which the
tender was written, the lowest tenderer qualified, Mr. Rodgers expressed the opinion
that, in view of the direction that the discussion appeared to be taking, it would be
preferable if Mr. Robichaud not give his opinion on that question at this time.
On motion of Councillor M. Vincent
Seconded by Councillor Rogers
RESOLVED that the above matter be laid
on the table for one week for referral to the City Solicitor and a report to Council.
Question being taken, the tabling motion was carried with Councillors
Davis and Knibb voting "nay".
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Fitzpatrick
RESOLVED that the status report from
the Acting City Manager on the implementation of the Millidgeville Secondary Plan for
1989-90 and the Program for 1991 -- be received and filed.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Flewwelling
RESOLVED that the report from the
Acting City Manager referring to a letter from the Silver Links Seniors Club, considered
by Council on May 22, 1990, concerning the City's creation of ditches, placement of
boulders and concrete pipes and other obstructions along the shorelines of 1 st and 2nd
Loch Lomond; advising that, while the City does not have the authority to prohibit
boating on the Lakes, it does have authority to discourage trespassing through its own
property and, in the past, has used surplus piping material and manholes to block
access to City property; however, as this is not aesthetically pleasing, recently the City
has constructed shallow ditches, no more than two feet deep, to prevent direct access
to City property, and that these ditches would certainly be of much lesser hazard to
children than the adjacent Lakes which have much greater access and depth; also
advising that, until the Province enacts legislation designating the Loch Lomond
watershed as a protected area thereby providing controls on boating and other
activities within the watershed, it is necessary to continue to restrict access to City-
owned property in the manner outlined above to discourage boating and dumping of
garbage; and recommending that, in receiving and filing this report, a copy be
forwarded to the Silver Links Seniors Club -- be received and filed and the
recommendation adopted.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor M. Vincent
voting "nay".
82-857
COMMON COUNCIL
MARCH 25, 1991
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Rogers
RESOLVED that the report from the
Acting City Manager referring to a request considered by Council on August 20, 1990
from five residents of a private road in Martinon for the City to erect a sign designating
the private road as Longbrook Lane, and citing examples of the City's past assignment
of names to private roads at the request and consent of all the residents on the roads;
suggesting that, while staff recommends that the requested name be adopted, it must
be made clear to the residents on Longbrook Lane that the City will not assume
responsibility for any maintenance or services of this private road, but will only assign a
name and erect a sign on the road; and recommending that, in receiving and filing this
report, staff be instructed to install a street name sign on Longbrook Lane -- be
received and filed and the recommendation adopted.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Rogers
RESOLVED that the report from the
Acting City Manager regarding the request considered by Council on December 17,
1990 of Mr. Louis Murphy, MLA, for a dilapidated guiderail on Milford Road to be
replaced and extended, advising it has been established that the Works Department
identified this work to be done in its 1991 Maintenance Program -- be received and filed
and Mr. Murphy be so advised.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Rogers
RESOLVED that the report from the
Acting City Manager referring to a request considered by Council on January 21 for the
City to examine the pedestrian crossing on Union Street and Wentworth Street, and to
a request considered on February 4 from the Board of School Trustees, School District
No. 20 for an examination of crosswalk signage on Union Street at Carmarthen,
Wentworth and Pitt Streets; advising that the crosswalks on Union Street are marked
with appropriate signage and pavement markings, consistent with City practice for other
areas of similar traffic and pedestrian volumes and, while signs have been missing in
the past, once staff was aware of the situation the signs have been replaced, and that
generally there is good compliance with speed limits and yielding to pedestrians in the
crosswalks, and further that some improvements could be gained by revising the
pavement markings from the edge line type to the large blocks, thus making the
crosswalk more visible; also advising that The Power Commission of the City of Saint
John has started a staged program of improving illumination on arterial streets to
current standards, although improvement to Union Street is not planned for this year,
and that, if Council should so direct, fixtures could be placed this year at the crosswalk
locations so that they would match in with the future planned improvements to the
entire street; further advising that the Police Traffic Branch is of the opinion that the
situation is being dealt with adequately and that the crossing guards at the crossings of
Union at Pitt and Union at Wentworth provide the proper level of protection for the
school children, and that the upgrading of pavement markings can be done as part of
the regular pavement marking program, and recommending that staff continue to
monitor this situation and that the Power Commission be requested to install new street
lighting at the crosswalks -- be received and filed and the recommendation adopted
and a copy be forwarded to the School Board.
Councillor Fitzpatrick suggested that the practice of laying a rough
variation of the street surface at approaches to such crosswalks should be re-initiated
again in the City, and asked that staff take action to repair the pedestrian crosswalk
light at the entrance to Centracare. In response to Councillor M. Vincent, Mr.
Armstrong confirmed that the upgrading of pavement markings will be done, and
82-858
COMMON COUNCIL
MARCH 25, 1991
Deputy Chief Cogswell explained that, if crosswalk guards are not in place when
required, the Police
Department places a police officer at a crosswalk until replaced by a crosswalk guard
and that the Police Department pays traffic crosswalk guards.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Landers
RESOLVED that the report from the City
Manager advising that, further to Council's consideration on October 9, 1990 of a
request from Mr. John Baird for a change in a condition concerning the operation of a
salvage yard at 120 Point Road so that the first portion of condition #4 would read
"...except vehicles which are licensed or in running condition", rather than "...except
vehicles which are licensed and in running condition.", the requested change has
significant implication respecting enforceability of the conditions and that, on a site visit,
Mr. Baird indicated that he purchased vehicles, which are in running order but not
licensed, in the United States for resale from the site and the requested amendment
would support this activity on the site, although this use is a new and separate use
which is not permitted in the existing residential zone and, while a salvage yard has
non-conforming use status, the use of the site for automobile sales does not;
suggesting that, although the original conditions were imposed with input from area
property owners and while not requiring Planning Advisory Committee or public input,
changes to these conditions should only be considered after public input; further
advising that the Building Inspection Department does not support the requested
change as it would make enforcement virtually impossible and, in addition, the request
proposes a used car sales business which already appears to be operating from this
location without the protection of non-conforming use status; and recommending that
(1) Mr. Baird's request for an amendment to conditions approved on March 26, 1990 be
denied; and (2) the Building Inspector be instructed to enforce the conditions as
approved as well as ensure that only those uses permitted in the Zoning By-Law or
protecting by non-conforming use status occur on the property -- be received and filed
and the recommendation adopted.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent
RESOLVED that the report from the
Acting City Manager advising that the Saint John Central Business Development
Corporation is requesting municipal endorsement of its application under Program 3.1
Development Opportunity Identification Assistance of the Agreement on Urban
Economic Development so that it can engage consultants to identify, analyze and
prepare preliminary plans for downtown development projects, such study anticipated
to assist the Corporation and the City in establishing priorities for funding under the
other two sections of the Program; submitting the application form and terms of
reference for the study for which a grant application has been prepared on the basis
that the maximum grant of $25,000 will be required from the Province to do this work;
also advising that this study has no financial implications for the City; and
recommending that Common Council endorse the application of the Saint John Central
Business Development Corporation under Program 3.1 Development Opportunity
Identification Assistance and authorize the Mayor to sign on its behalf -- be received
and filed and the recommendation adopted.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Gould
RESOLVED that as recommended by the
Acting City Manager, the lowest tender as submitted by Galbraith Construction, in the
amount of $6,950, be accepted for the demolition of the building located at 208 Duke
82-859
COMMON COUNCIL
MARCH 25, 1991
Street (L.R.I.S. Number 4747).
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Consideration was given to a report from the Acting City Manager
regarding a request, which is the subject of a letter on the agenda of this meeting, from
Dobson Chrysler Dodge to withdraw its March 4 accepted tender for the supply of two
window vans at a total cost of $35,581.12, which was the lowest of five bids received
as indicated on the submitted bid summary, as an error had been made in that its bid
did not take into consideration the City's specification requiring windows all around;
advising that City staff agrees with Dobson that its changes in staff and the fact that it
is a new bidder were factors in the error being made and, in addition, the Company's
former sales manager, who was experienced in preparing tenders, did not attend the
specification review meeting where clarification of the City's requirements are provided;
also advising that the second lowest bidder on the tender was Lorne Brett Chev. Olds
Ltd. at a cost of $36,387.56, a difference of $806.44, and staff has confirmed with Brett
that it is prepared to honour this tender price; and submitting a recommendation in this
regard.
Consideration was also given to the above-mentioned letter from Dobson
Chrysler Dodge requesting to withdraw its accepted tender on 2 window vans, tender
number 91-70051.
On motion of Councillor M. Vincent
Seconded by Councillor Knibb
RESOLVED that as recommended by the
Acting City Manager, the request of Dobson Chrysler Dodge to withdraw its tender #91-
7005T be granted, and that the tender of Lorne Brett Chev. Olds Ltd., at a cost of
$36,387.56, be accepted for supplying 2 Chevrolet Astro Vans.
Mr. Wilson advised that staff would inform Council at its next meeting of
the reason for the requirement of the type of windowed van in question.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Consideration was given to a report from the City Solicitor regarding the
proposed re-zoning of 1100 Sand Cove Road, first reading of which was tabled at the
March 18 public hearing for an opinion with respect to the public notice and its relation
to the proposal and also requiring comments with respect to the form of the Planning
Advisory Committee's recommendation; expressing the opinion that the public notice
for the proposed re-zoning is consistent with the application and the proposal of the
applicant and that the public hearing held on March 18, 1991 complied with the
statutory requirements of the Community Planning Act; also advising that, on the matter
of the Committee's recommendation, it is his opinion that Council should resolve the
sanitary and storm sewerage problem before proceeding with the re-zoning for the
reason that, while the Committee recommends that the re-zoning be approved on
condition that the City undertakes the necessary capital improvement to remedy the
problem with respect to the surcharging of the sanitary and storm sewerage onto the
subject property and Section 13 of the Community Planning Act makes it mandatory for
the Committee to advise and make recommendations to the Council on any matter
relating to community planning, the issue of sanitary and storm sewer is not one which
permits conditional re-zoning in this instance; and recommending that Council deal with
the sanitary and storm sewerage matter through a separate report from the City
Manager before proceeding with the enactment of the re-zoning.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Rogers
RESOLVED that the above report from
the City Solicitor be received and filed and that the matter of the sanitary and storm
sewerage matter be referred to the Acting City Manager for consideration of the
possibility of including in the budget the necessary expenditure in this regard and a
report to Council.
82-860
COMMON COUNCIL
MARCH 25, 1991
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Fitzpatrick
Seconded by Councillor Flewwelling
RESOLVED that the report from the
City Solicitor expressing the opinion that, further to Council's consideration on March 11
of Councillor Rogers' letter dealing with a complaint that a disabled individual was
refused taxi service, before Council considers amending the Taxi By-Law, it should be
satisfied that the present By-Law is deficient and ineffective in dealing with the
problem, and any further amendments would still require the investigating officers and,
in particular, the Taxi Inspector, to gather all the relevant facts of each particular
complaint before court action could be instituted or any other action taken; advising that
the Taxi Inspector should be aware that complaints of this nature can also be referred
to the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission under the Human Rights Act, and the
Commission, in examining a complaint similar to this issue, could very well examine the
City's Taxi By-Law and inquire as to what genuine effort is being made to enforce the
existing provisions and what reasons a taxi operator may have to justify a refusal of
service; consequently, it is important for the Taxi Inspector to learn as much as he can
about cases involving possible discrimination and the denial of taxi service for reasons
such as physical disability; and recommending that this report and any previous
correspondence relevant to this matter be referred to the Taxi Inspector -- be received
and filed and the recommendation adopted.
Deputy Chief Cogswell confirmed that the Taxi Inspector has reviewed
the above matter and that, according to the report, the taxi driver's refusal was done
politely on the basis that he has a severe back disorder and that the matter has been
resolved, with the person who complained still using the service of the taxi company in
question.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Read a letter from the Common Clerk advising that, following the
procedure for amendments to the Municipal Plan, the necessary advertising and public
presentation with respect to the submitted application of Apollo Properties Ltd. have
been completed, and that the required waiting period for objections expired on March
20, 1991, with no written objections having been received.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Flewwelling
RESOLVED that the application of
Apollo Properties Ltd. for a Municipal Plan amendment and re-zoning of 379-381
Somerset Street be referred to the Planning Advisory Committee for a report and
recommendation and that the necessary advertising be authorized in this regard, with
the public hearing to be held on May 13, 1991.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
(Deputy Mayor Gould and M. Vincent withdrew from the meeting, having
been absent from the January 7 public hearing with regard to the proposed Zoning By-
Law text amendment related to 43-55 Exmouth Street, and Councillor Fitzpatrick
withdrew from the meeting.)
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Coughlan
RESOLVED that the by-law entitled,
"By-Law Number C.P. 100-230 A Law To Amend The Zoning By-Law Of The City Of
Saint John", by adding a new Section 310(2)( c)(iii) as follows: "(iii) notwithstanding (i)
above, a surface parking area, located at 43-45 Exmouth Street (L.R.I.S. Numbers
13078, 13060, 15842 and 13052), may be used for the purposes of providing parking
for uses which are not located and permitted in the same zone.", be read a third time
