the price.

call for consultant services, further to Common Council resolution of August 10, 1998 to

preparation of drawings, specifications, construction, cost estimates and a benefit
87 -189
COMMON COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 14, 1998
analysis; and also advising that it was the determination of staff that, since the amount
estimated and approved for this project was less than $25,000, the City was not required
to advertise for public offerings and, therefore, bids were by invitation and, while the
August 10, 1998 resolution authorized the expenditure of up to $25,000 for the
engagement of a consultant to undertake the initial phase of this project, the actual cost
of this consultant service, if awarded as recommended, would be $33,000, plus tax.
On motion of Councillor Court
Seconded by Deputy Mayor Chase
RESOLVED that as recommended by
the City Manager, the proposal of ADI Ltd., in the amount of $33,000, plus tax, be
accepted for the initial phase, i.e., the design and location of floodways - Glen Falls, and
further that the sum of $25,000, plus tax, previously approved by Council for expenditure
from the 1998 Capital Budget, be increased to $33,000, plus tax, to cover this phase of
the project.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
5. Tender For Contract 98-19
On motion of Councillor Desmond
Seconded by Deputy Mayor Chase
RESOLVED that as recommended by
the City Manager, Contract 98-19: Boars Head Road/Millidge Avenue/Somerset Street
sanitary sewer project, be awarded to the low tenderer, Fairville Construction Ltd, at the
tendered price of $757,230, as calculated based upon estimated quantities, and the
Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary documents.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
6. License Renewal For Rockwood Park Horse Barn
Consideration was given to a report from the City Manager submitting a
copy of a proposed license agreement with LHMD Adventures for the operation of the
Rockwood Park Horse Barn, prepared based on the original agreement using "strike-out"
to indicate wording to be removed and "bold" to indicate wording to be added; advising
that, as the current contract is with RM. White and the terms of that contract required
the City to make a proposal to him for renewal at the time of expiration, this obligation
has been fulfilled; however during negotiations, the City was requested to renew the
contract under a new name, LHMD Adventures, which is registered with Corporate
Affairs in Fredericton under the name of Lees Doley, not RM. White and, while contrary
to article 10 of the current contract, staff is aware that Lees Doley has been directly
involved in the operation for several years. The report also advises that the Rockwood
Park Advisory Board has not been provided details of the proposed agreement, but has
previously supported this license; sets out the terms of the proposed license agreement;
and recommends its approval.
On motion of Councillor White
Seconded by Councillor Desmond
RESOLVED that as recommended by
the City Manager, Common Council approve the proposed license to LHMD Adventures,
as submitted, with regard to the operation of the Rockwood Park Horse Barn, and the
Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the agreement.
Because of the lack of input from the Rockwood Park Advisory Board,
Councillor Titus expressed the view that the Board should review the proposed license
agreement.
On motion of Councillor Titus
Seconded by Councillor Fitzpatrick
RESOLVED that the above matter be
referred to the Rockwood Park Advisory Board.
87-190
COMMON COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 14, 1998
Question being taken, the referral motion was carried.
7. Natural Gas Distribution
Read a letter from Mayor McAlary referring to her submission on behalf of
the members of Common Council to the Standing Committee on Energy concerning
natural gas distribution and to the support voiced at the last Council meeting for the
"home team", Maritime NRG; expressing the view that Council should make its support
known to all the public by sending a letter to the Premier and to the Chairman of the
Standing Committee on Energy concerning natural gas, and submitting a draft letter and
resolution in this regard for Council's consideration.
On motion of Deputy Mayor Chase
Seconded by Councillor Desmond
RESOLVED that the Common Council
of the City of Saint John send the above-submitted letter to the Premier of New
Brunswick and to the Chairman and Members of the Natural Gas Standing Committee.
The Mayor read the proposed letter, and Councillor Fitzpatrick expressed
the view that Council did not have the expertise or experience to pick a company, and
the Standing Committee, in Phase 1, was to hear expressions of interest, with Phase 2
to be a call for proposals, and also that, having a request to make a presentation on
natural gas under item 17 on the Committee of the Whole agenda of this date, in order to
be fair everybody involved should have an opportunity to make a presentation.
Councillor Titus concurred with Councillor Fitzpatrick that Council should not be
supporting one company over another company; and Councillor White made the
observation that, with regard to the reference in the Mayor's letter to the "home team",
there are other "home teams", Saint John Energy being one of them; and advised that,
while he did not have a problem of determining that the Mayor and Council should take a
stand as to what would be for the betterment of Saint John as a whole in regard to this
issue, he could not vote to support one or the other at this time because he was not an
expert on this issue, and had assumed that, as suggested at the last meeting, video
tapes of the presentations to the Standing Committee would be obtained for Council's
review
Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillors Fitzpatrick,
Titus and White voting "nay".
8. Proposed Re-Zoning Of
378-380 Westmorland Road
Consideration was given to a report from the City Solicitor referring to the
argument put forth at the September 8, 1998 public hearing of the proposed re-zoning of
378-380 Westmorland Road by the solicitor for the opponents that the Beverage
Containers Act prohibits the operation of a redemption centre which is not registered
under the Act and it was therefore beyond the City's jurisdiction to enact a Zoning By-
Law which purported to permit illegal activity, and to the solicitor for the applicant's
argument that the Beverage Containers Act did not address operations such as the
applicant's and that, in fact, the Act did not prohibit such business; and suggesting that,
as in examining this issue he has concluded that there is an underlying defect in the
manner in which the Zoning By-Law treats redemption centres, that defect, which relates
to the condition imposed in Section 520 - General Business (B-2) zone should be
corrected to obviate any concern by the City as to whether unregistered redemption
centres are prohibited by the Beverage Containers Act. The report also suggests that,
as there may be additional amendments which the City administration would wish to
recommend, the matter should be referred to the City Manager for a recommendation
relating to pertinent amendments to the By-Law, and also that Council decline giving
third reading to the proposed amendment with regard to 378-380 Westmorland Road;
and concludes that, if the By-Law were amended to remove any reference to the
"registration" scheme provided in the Beverage Containers Act and also amended to
impose clearly identified conditions which Council wished, then Council would be
operating within the jurisdiction conferred upon it by the Community Planning Act and
the application and enforcement of the Beverage Containers Act would be left, as it
should be, with the Province.

COMMON COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 14, 1998
9. Zoning By-Law Text Amendment Re SZ#2
And Re-ZoninQ 378-380 Westmorland Road
Consideration was also given to third reading of a proposed Zoning By-
Law text amendment with regard to a Special Zone #2 (SZ#2) and the re-zoning of
property at 378-380 Westmorland Road.
Mr. Nugent advised that the conclusion he reached, in reviewing the
above matter, was that Council was dealing with an issue of redemption centres which
are subject to the concurrent jurisdiction of both the Municipality and the Province, each
having a legitimate authority to deal with the subject but from different perspectives, and
each jurisdiction must be respected in the City's Zoning By-Law; however, the Zoning
By-Law, as it is currently written, does not respect that distinction and, in effect, the
Municipality has surrendered or purported to give to the Province authority that it has
under the Community Planning Act, which it cannot do as the authority given to Council
by the Act must be exercised by the Council. Mr. Nugent advised that the practical
significance for the applicant is that, in his view, he did not require any change to the
Zoning By-Law to continue his operation, and he would recommend that Council (1)
decline to give third reading to the By-Law amendment it has before it; and (2) refer to
the City Manager the matter of appropriate amendments to the By-Law to recognize the
legitimate jurisdictions of both the Province and the City, vis-a-vis redemption centres, so
that, in consultation with the Planning Department, he can return to Council with advice
in that regard.
The Mayor asked if, in Mr. Nugent's view the re-zoning was unnecessary, to which Mr.
Nugent indicated in the affirmative; and expressed the view, from a legal perspective,
that Council should remove from the Zoning By-Law any reference to registered or
unregistered redemption centres and the reference should simply be only to redemption
centres, but beyond that there may be issues of controlling the redemption centres, vis-
a-vis parking, landscaping, size of the buildings et cetera which may be items that
Council should be considering, thus the recommended referral to the City Manager.
9.
On motion of Councillor Desmond
Seconded by Councillor White
RESOLVED that Common Council decline
to give third reading to the proposed Zoning By-Law text amendment with regard to
Special Zone #2 (SZ#2) and the re-zoning of property at 378-380 Westmorland Road.
(Councillor Fitzpatrick withdrew from the meeting as he was not present
for the August 24, 1998 public hearing in the above regard, and the August 24 public
hearings with regard to the proposed Zoning By-Law amendment respecting 231
Churchill Boulevard, and the proposed Street Closing By-Law amendment with regard to
Rope Walk Road.)
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
8.
On motion of Councillor Court
Seconded by Councillor Desmond
RESOLVED that the issue of
redemption centres in the Zoning By-Law be referred to the City Manager for a
recommendation with respect to possible amendments vis-a-vis the treatment thereof.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
10. Zoning By-Law Amendment "SZ#3"
& Re-ZoninQ 231 Churchill Boulevard
The Mayor asked for clarification from the City Solicitor on the above-
proposed amendment in that it refers to redemption centres. Mr. Nugent suggested
that, as the submitted By-Law amendment treats redemption centres in the same way
that the current By-Law does in its reference to registration pursuant to the Beverage
87 -192
COMMON COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 14, 1998
Containers Act and comply with the regulations thereunder, in order to respect the
appropriate jurisdictions of the City and the Province, Council should resolve to eliminate
from subparagraph 740(3)(a)(i) the words "subject to subsection (b)(i)", and to delete
from paragraph (b) subparagraph (i) which again speaks of a redemption centre,
following which Council could move to give third reading to the proposed amendment as
amended.
On motion of Councillor Court
Seconded by Councillor White
RESOLVED that the above-proposed
Zoning By-Law amendment be amended by (1) deleting from sub-paragraph 740(3)(a)(i)
the words "subject to subsection (b) (i)" immediately preceding the words "a redemption
centre", and (2) deleting sub-paragraph 740(3)(b)(i).
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
