(a) requesting, in keeping with section 3 of the Business Improvement Areas Act for the Province of New Brunswick, to appear before Council at this meeting to present its 1993 Plan and Budget, and subsequently to request Council to begin the process of 83-834 COMMON COUNCIL NOVEMBER 9, 1992 advertising for the approval of its 1993 Plan and Budget; and (b) requesting Council to consider the expansion of the Business Improvement Area boundary to include the properties specified, and to advertise the intention to expand the boundary. Messrs. Brian Beckingham, President; and Colin Whitcomb, General Manager, of Uptown Saint John Inc., were present at the meeting and, through a slide presentation, Mr. Beckingham highlighted the Corporation's 1992 activities and outlined the 1993 Plans and proposed Budget, noting the change in name in 1992 from Saint John Central Business Development Corporation to Uptown Saint John Inc. and that it is submitting a balanced budget of revenue of expenses for 1993 in the amount of $183,100, which is consistent with the budgets which have been submitted by the Corporation in previous years. Mr. Beckingham explained that, due to a decline in assessments in some of the uptown properties, the Corporation is facing a decline in revenues for the 1993 fiscal year and it is anticipated that the actual business improvement area levy revenue will decrease from approximately $194,000 to approximately $175,000 next year, and that, to help offset some of this loss in revenue, the Corporation is proposing an increase in the business improvement area levy in 1993 by one cent, bringing it to 12 cents per $100 of property assessment, which is still one of the lowest levy rates in the Province and certainly the lowest among major cities.

On motion of Councillor Knibb Seconded by Councillor McAlary RESOLVED that authority be granted for the necessary advertising with respect to the 1992 budget of Uptown Saint John Inc.

Question being taken, the motion was carried. Mr. Larry Hanley addressed Council on behalf of his mother, Mary Hanley of 111 Manners Sutton Road, concerning a situation whereby curbing was put in place in front of his mother's residence which, in effect, did not shorten the width of the Road but stopped parking which was taking place by a neighbour on the other side of the Road because of flooding; commented on his discussion in 1991 and 1992 with staff in this regard, as well as on the City Manager's reports to Council and Mrs. Hanley's requests to address Council with respect to the situation, suggesting that, with respect to the latter which is a matter of concern to him because of the procedure, Council should carry out a similar procedure as that used by the Planning Advisory Committee which makes reports available, prior to the Committee meeting, to the parties involved, rather than to put Council in the position of possibly having to reconsider a decision it has made based on a staff report to which the person concerned does not have access until after the fact. Mr. Hanley explained that, because of flooding and ice problems which makes it difficult for two neighbouring residents to access their properties thereby resulting in their parking in front of his 83-835 COMMON COUNCIL NOVEMBER 9, 1992 neighbour's home, there was no problem before a section of the curb was put in place, and suggested that this curbing could be taken out and a small alcove made for a particular neighbour who has to park across from the garage, noting that it is just as hard to back in to the garage as it is to back out of the garage. Mr. Hanley asked that a small section of the curbing be removed to allow the plows to push the snow further in on a very small section so that the neighbours can park there in the hopes of preventing any accident in the future in that backing in or backing out of a driveway is still a very dangerous situation. Mr. Hanley confirmed Deputy Mayor McAlary's observation that, if there were no cars parked on the opposite side of the street, there would be no problem; and during discussion Mr. Robichaud explained that the area of curbing the City is being requested to remove is about 60 feet long, and that, whether or not there is a curb in place, the snow and ice situation would be exactly the same, in his opinion; and recommended that the solution would be to place no parking signs directly opposite Mrs. Hanley's garage and force whoever normally parks there slightly up the street, which should not pose a major problem for the neighbour referenced, Mr. Baxter, although he could speak for himself, and also that the installation of signage would be much better than removing the curb and the fill placed behind the curb. (Councillor Coughlan withdrew from the meeting during the above discussion.) On motion of Councillor A. Vincent Seconded by Councillor Rogers RESOLVED that Messrs. Brown and Robichaud meet with Messrs. Hanley and Baxter to discuss the matter of signage and explain what the City has to do with respect to the situation in the area of 111 Manners Sutton Road. Question being taken, the motion was carried. On motion of Councillor Trites Seconded by Councillor Landers RESOLVED that this meeting be adjourned. Question being taken, the motion was carried. Common Clerk
