9. Municipal Revenue Sources: Unconditional Grant/Tax Base
Discussion was held on the Provincial decrease in the unconditional
grants to municipalities with the Mayor commenting that for the first time in 15 years the
City has realized a growth in the tax base, and that even though the decrease is across
the Province, other municipalities will not be as adversely affected as Saint John. She
continued by advising Council that the Cities of New Brunswick Association resolved to
send a letter to the Premier to reinstate the $67.7 million in unconditional grants to the
municipalities. She also recognized MLA's Stewart Jamieson and Abel LeBlanc who
entered the Council Chamber with a delegation of citizens.
Councillor Court commented on the issue by saying that the Province has
to realize that Saint John has an infrastructure larger than both Fredericton and Moncton
combined and that they have not allowed for this in allocating the unconditional grant.
Councillor Teed pointed out that the tax base is set by the Province and
that the City has no control over it noting that this is the largest source of revenue for the
City yet it is routed to the Province. He suggested that Council meet with MLA's to point
out the unique situation faced by Saint John regarding the unconditional grant and the
tax base.
Councillor Titus expressed his preference as to direction to the City
Manager to reduce expenditures by $1.1 million as opposed to raising taxes to deal with
the decrease of the unconditional grant.
On motion of Councillor Titus
Seconded by Deputy Mayor White
RESOLVED that the report from the City
Manager including documents from the Province of New Brunswick related to the City's
tax base growth and unconditional grant funding, advising that staff are currently

Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Fitzpatrick
Seconded by Deputy Mayor White
RESOLVED that item number 15 on the agenda
be brought forward for consideration at this time.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
9. Sources des recettes municipales : Subvention
inconditionnelle et assiette de I'impot foncier
On discute de la reduction par la province des subventions
inconditionnelles versees aux municipalites et Ie maire souligne que pour la premiere
fois en 15 ans, la Ville a connu une croissance de I'assiette de I'impot foncier, et que,
bien que la diminution vise toute la province, d'autres municipalites ne seront pas
touchees aussi durement que Saint John. Elle poursuit en informant Ie conseil que
l'Association des villes du Nouveau-Brunswick a decide de faire parvenir une lettre au
premier ministre pour lui demander de retablir les subventions inconditionnelles versees
aux municipalites au montant de 67,7 millions de dollars. Elle souligne egalement la
presence de Stewart Jamieson et de Abel LeBlanc, membres de l'Assemblee legislative,
qui sont entres dans la salle du conseil, accompagnes d'une delegation de citoyens.
Le conseiller Court aborde la question en affirmant que la province doit
reconnaltre que Saint John possede une infrastructure plus imposante que celie de
Fredericton et de Moncton combinee et qu'on n'a pas tenu compte de ce fait au moment
d'allouer la subvention inconditionnelle.
Le conseiller Teed souligne que la province determine I'assiette de I'impot
foncier et que la Ville ne peut exercer aucun controle sur cette assiette, indiquant qu'elle
represente la source de recettes la plus importante pour la Ville et pourtant, ces recettes
sont envoyees a la province. II propose que Ie conseil rencontre les membres de
l'Assemblee legislative pour souligner la situation unique a laquelle Saint John est
confrontee concernant la subvention inconditionnelle et I'assiette de I'impot foncier.
Le conseiller Titus indique qu'il prefere I'orientation du directeur general
de reduire les depenses de 1,1 million plutot que d'augmenter les impots fonciers pour
compenser la diminution de la subvention inconditionnelle.
Proposition du conseiller Titus
Appuyee par Ie maire suppleant White
QUE Ie rapport du directeur general, comprenant
les documents de la province du Nouveau-Brunswick sur la croissance de I'assiette de
I'impot foncier et Ie financement au moyen de la subvention inconditionnelle, indiquant
que Ie personnel examine actuellement ces renseignements et integrant les montants
dans les calculs du budget de la Ville, soit accepte a titre informatif.
A I'issue du vote, la proposition est adoptee.
Proposition du conseiller Fitzpatrick
Appuyee par Ie maire suppleant White
QUE Ie point 15 de I'ordre du jour soit examine
des maintenant.
A I'issue du vote, la proposition est adoptee.
15. Unconditional Grant Cuts

a copy to the Ministers of Finance, and Local Government and the Environment
requesting that the $67.7 million which was cut be reinstated.

COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL
DECEMBER 1, 2003/LE 1 ER DECEMBRE 2003
On motion of Councillor Titus
Seconded by Councillor Desmond
RESOLVED that The City of Saint John send a
letter to Premier Lord with copies to the Ministers of Finance, and Local Government and
the Environment asking for the reinstatement of the $67.7 million in unconditional grants
to the municipalities until such time as the Cities of New Brunswick have an opportunity
to meet with the Province and put into place a new tax structure.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Consideration was given to a letter from Mayor McAlary citing a quotation
of the Minister of Local Government, "No municipality in the Province of New Brunswick
will have a loss of revenue.", and proposing that the City request the amount that Saint
John will lose as a result of the unconditional grant decrease from the Province.
On motion of Councillor Desmond
Seconded by Councillor Fitzgerald
RESOLVED that a request be made to the
Premier of New Brunswick to reimburse the loss experienced by The City of Saint John
as a result of the decrease in the unconditional grant consistent with the Honorable
Minister of Local Government's comment that no municipality in the Province will have a
loss of revenue.
Councillor Chase suggested that the request for these funds be delivered
by a delegation of councillors and appropriate citizens emphasizing that this is an
extremely important issue and a time for supreme diplomacy indicating that there are
citizens in the City who would be able to help with this request.
Councillor Fitzpatrick proposed an amendment to the motion that Council
meet with Government representatives in private to ensure that the position that Saint
John finds itself in as a result of its unique situation be fully understood by Government.
He noted that meeting only with Government officials is meant to facilitate progress
given that it is the Government that made the decision to decrease the funding, and in
no way is his proposal meant to be disrespectful to other MLA's.
On motion of Councillor Fitzpatrick
Seconded by Councillor Titus
RESOLVED that Council meet with local Provincial
Government representatives in private to ensure that Saint John's unique position in
terms of the effect of the decrease in unconditional grant funding is fully understood by
the Government.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with the Mayor McAlary,
Deputy Mayor White and Councillor Fitzgerald voting nay.
The Mayor re-introduced the original motion as amended, which was that
a request be made to the Premier of New Brunswick to reimburse the loss of $1.07
million experienced by The City of Saint John as a result of the decrease in the
unconditional grant consistent with the Honorable Minister of Local Government's
comment that no municipality in the Province will have a loss of revenue, and that
Council meet with local Provincial Government representatives.
On motion of Councillor Chase
Seconded by Councillor Desmond
RESOLVED that a request be made to the
Premier to reimburse the loss experienced by The City of Saint John as a result of the
decrease in the unconditional grant consistent with the Honorable Minister of Local
Government's comment that no municipality in the Province will have a loss of revenue,

citizens to the Premier, and further that Council meet with local Provincial Government
representatives to ensure that Saint John's unique position in terms of the effect of the
decrease in unconditional grant funding is fully understood by the Government.

On motion of Councillor Chase
Seconded by Councillor Court
RESOLVED that a member of the public in
Council Chamber who previously expressed his wish to address Council be permitted to
speak.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor Titus voting
nay.
MLA, Abel LeBlanc introduced Mr. Glen McAllister, a constituent who had
brought to Mr. LeBlanc's attention his dismay with the cuts made in the unconditional
grant by the Province. Mr. LeBlanc expressed his displeasure with Council's decision not
to include non-government MLA's in the proposed meeting with government
representatives on the issue of the unconditional grant funding.
Mr. McAllister spoke in support of Council on behalf of a delegation of
approximately 25 citizens present in the Council Chamber as well as others not able to
attend, who oppose the Provincial funding cuts noting that citizens of Saint John cannot
afford a tax increase and the resulting spin off effects of such a move, noting that 60% of
the citizens are on fixed incomes and that seniors and single parents who can ill afford a
tax increase will be placed in a hardship situation. He presented his position that the
Provincial Government lacks integrity and has shown disrespect to the citizens of Saint
John with this recent grant cut. Mr. McAllister requested that Council continue to push for
the reinstatement of the grant funding.
