Civic Employees Local Union No. 18 C.U.P.E. - GarbaQe Removal & RecyclinQ Consideration was given to a letter from Civic Employees Local Union No. 18, C.U.P.E., advising of its involvement in the compilation of data on the question of garbage removal and recycling in the City of Saint John now and in the future and now being in the position of making a formal presentation to Council in open session in that, having reviewed the public comments concerning this issue, it feels it is imperative that Council listen to the employees who perform garbage removal on its behalf. David Gould, President, Gary Sabean, Secretary-Treasurer, Brian Reynolds and Bob Beman, of Local Union No. 18, as well as C.U.P.E. representative Bob Davidson, and Raymond Leger, C.U.P.E. Research - National, were present at the meeting, and Messrs. Gould and Sabean, in turn, read a prepared brief on the question of solid waste disposal in the City of Saint John (copies of which were distributed to Council members at this meeting), addressing the question of contracting out of garbage services, and the future of waste disposal in the Saint John area, with the Local's conclusion in the former regard being that there was not a single advantage for the City to contract out any of the solid waste disposal services as the citizens of Saint John had the best service possible at a very good price; and the Local's concern in the latter regard being that the Provincial Government had stripped away the City of Saint John's right to operate a landfill site generating a million dollars a year profit and was forcing the City to pay over $1 million in tipping fees, and the City of Saint John was now being asked to pay for a service that was provided by the Provincial Government for the outlying areas, and also concern about the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission's plans to change the system of waste collection, involving the establishment of a drop-off depot system and bi-weekly collection system, with the Local's request to Council being that the City conduct a study on solid waste management including the non-use of depots. On the issue of the tipping fees, the Local's representatives compared the $71 per tonne tipping fee proposed by the Commission with other waste commissions in the Province, and requested Council to set up emergency meetings with the Premier and his Government to find a solution that would avoid a tax increase to the citizens of Saint John. During discussion Mr. Gould offered Local Union No. 18's assistance in approaching the Province, and the Mayor advised that this issue was discussed earlier this date with the local MLAs who were to meet with the Commission. On motion of Councillor Trites Seconded by Councillor Fitzpatrick RESOLVED that the presentation on behalf of Civic Employees Local Union No. 18 C.U.P.E., on the question of garbage removal and recycling in the City of Saint John, now and in the future, be referred to the City Manager. Question being taken, the motion was carried. Manawagonish Road Tree Preservation Committee - Care Of & Plan For Urban Forest Read a letter from Rev. Lloyd Lake, President of the Manawagonish Road Tree Preservation Committee, submitting a Recommendation Report for Preventative Tree Maintenance and Repair, Manawagonish Road, prepared for the Committee by H.L. Patton & Son Ltd./Tree Care; and advising the intent to present to Council a report on plantings and summary care of the urban forest and a remedial plan to augment and save the remaining unique urban forest in Saint John. Rev. Lloyd Lake and Dwayne Patton of Tree Care were present at the meeting, and Rev. Lake apprised Council of the history of the trees on Manawagonish Road, and of the Committee's recognition of its responsibility to not only make persons aware of the progress on this street with reference to new plantings but also about the deterioration of the trees, and suggested that the Committee could be broadened with input from not only the City but also from the other two levels of government, and the City should commence forming a council with Manawagonish Road and other areas of 87 -27 4 COMMON COUNCIL NOVEMBER 23, 1998 the City in mind where trees need expert and helpful support, and the very best that can be done, considering the monetary expense, be supplied to this end. On tree planting, Rev. Lake suggested that trees should be planted on lawn areas rather than under hydro lines; and Mr. Patton reviewed his above-mentioned Recommendation Report. Rev. Lake and Mr. Patton responded to questions in the above regard, and Mr. Butler addressed questions on the expertise of staff in the Parks Division in dealing with trees; and the Mayor thanked Rev. Lake and Mr. Patton for their presentation and advised that Council would take the suggestions under advisement and work with staff on them. Re Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission's Proposed 1999 BudQet Consideration was given to a report from the City Manager commenting on the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission's proposed 1999 Operating Budget and life-cycle analysis of the landfill operation, further to the presentation to Council on November 16 by representatives of the Commission; submitting the Commission's operating projections 1998-2033; and recommending that Common Council encourage its representative on the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission not to support the 1999 Operating Budget of the Commission until such time as revisions are made to allow for a tipping fee in the range of $64 to $67 per tonne. A motion was proposed by Councillor White and seconded by Councillor Vincent to adopt the above recommendation. The Mayor advised that she had no problem with the recommendation as long as it included that, if the Commission came up with a budget of $64 or $65 per tonne for the tipping fee, this budget would come back to Council for review for the reason that, under no circumstances, would she want to see a budget excluding recycling for 1999 and also that she had a concern that Council had not yet received from the Commission projections for the next five years. Mr. Totten, in speaking on the rationale behind the $64 to $67 per tonne tipping fee, concurred that Council should see what would come back with that range, and advised that it would be in order if Council preferred not to include a range in the motion. Councillor Vincent advised that he would prefer that no range be included in the motion; and Councillor Court advised that he would prefer that Council hold the line until the Commission came back with a 5-year plan, thus he was against any increase at this time, and proposed an amendment to the motion to delete the tipping fee figures in the motion. Councillor Trites proposed that the amendment should also include that the Commission would reappear before Council with a revised budget, and the Mayor reiterated the amendment to the effect that the reference to a tipping fee would be deleted and the Commission reappear in open session of Council, whereupon Councillor Titus seconded the amendment. The mover and seconder of the amendment agreed to reference a 5-year plan. On motion of Councillor White Seconded by Councillor Vincent RESOLVED that Common Council encourage its representative on the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission, Councillor Stephen Chase, not to support he 1999 Operating Budget of the Commission until such time as revisions are made and the Commission reappears before Council in open session to give Council full details of the budget and to provide Council with a five-year financial projection. During discussion Councillor Chase, Council's representative on the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission, reference a photograph of a drop-off depot and a memorandum to him from Jens Jensen, General Manager of the Commission, regarding the 1999 proposed budget and areas for potential reduction of the tipping fee (copies of which were distributed to Council members at this meeting); and Councillor Vincent, referencing his questions to the Commission at the last meeting about its course of action for fill cover and the purchase of a truck and trailer and the Commission's response that this was not done through public tender, asked if Council was acting in the proper fashion being aware of that information, or if anything should be done to address that matter in that, based on his belief, the New Brunswick Crown Construction Act required a public proposal to be put forward. Mr. Nugent expressed the view, while not having examined that question particularly, that the Commission's business practices were of concern, from a legal liability perspective, of the Commission 87 -275 COMMON COUNCIL NOVEMBER 23, 1998 itself as it acts independently of all the participating municipalities and was responsible directly for its manner of operation; however, if Council were concerned from the perspective of the contribution toward the budget that the municipality makes, Council may wish to pursue that but he did not believe that to be a matter of potential legal liability for the municipality but a matter of Council's possible concern for whether or not the Commission was operating as it should vis-a-vis the expenditure of funds provided to it by the municipality. As to the question of whether or not the Commission must comply with the Crown Construction Act with respect to the two referenced items, the Mayor suggested that this could be put to a motion after dealing with the motion on the floor. The Mayor advised her intent to consider the motion and the amendment to the motion as one, and called for the question on the motion as set out above. Question being taken, the motion was carried. *9A.
