6. Saint John Port Authority
David Doyle, Chair of the Saint John Port Authority introduced the
presentation, board members present, and AI Soppitt, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Saint John Port Authority. Referring to a submitted presentation Mr. Doyle
spoke about the Port's responsibility to the Government of Canada and customers to
provide the marine infrastructure and services required to support Canada's waterborne
trade. He made reference to the Port's economic importance to the City, providing over
3000 direct and indirect jobs, contributing $216 million to the Provincial Gross Domestic
Product, with $10 million going directly to the local economy.
Mr. Soppitt reported on the recent project to handle limestone on Long
Wharf, addressing the public controversy around the potential interference with Harbour
Passage and future development of the waterfront by indicating that the Port continues
to be a partner with the Waterfront Development and will continue to work with the
partners to find a balance. He advised that locating the operation to the west side of the
City would cost approximately $250 million, and is not possible in the short term. Mr.
Soppitt updated Council on Pugsley Cruise Terminal advising that the Cruise business
90-446
COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL COMMUNAL
MARCH 8, 200418 MARS, 2004
will take an unprecedented growth spurt with 59 calls and 142,000 passengers expected
this year. He reported that the planning of the cruise facility is well underway with the
terminal layout and space requirements to be completed this season.
The issue of port security was addressed by Mr. Soppitt referring to
required international security measures, including access control, physical security of
facilities and cargo, and photo identification, which must be in place by July 1, 2004. He
noted that the highest priority for cruise ships entering the port is security and that
security measures will be stringently upheld.
Mr. Doyle concluded by assuring Council that the Port Authority will
adhere to its objective to protect port interests and to seek a balance between the port
and the community, and referred to comments made by David Gordon, an Urban
Planner at Queen's University stating that Saint John has a unique opportunity to
distinguish itself by showcasing one of the last real working waterfronts in the Country.
6. Administration portuaire de Saint John
David Doyle, president de l'Administration portuaire de Saint John,
adresse Ie conseil et presente les membres de son conseil d'administration qui sont
presents ainsi que AI Soppitt, president-directeur general de l'Administration portuaire de
Saint John. M. Doyle fait reference a une presentation anterieure et discute de la
responsabilite de l'Administration portuaire envers Ie Gouvernement du Canada et la
clientele relativement a I'infrastructure maritime et les services requis pour soutenir Ie
marche maritime au Canada. II souligne I'importance economique du port pour la ville,
indiquant que plus de 3 000 emplois directs et indirects contribuent 216 M$ au produit
interieur brut de la province et que 10 M$ sont verses directement dans I'economie
locale.
M. Soppitt commente Ie projet de manutention de pierre calcaire a Long
Wharf et la controverse sou levee par Ie public concernant I'immixtion possible dans Ie
passage du port et les amenagements futurs du secteur riverain et indique que Ie port
est toujours en partenariat avec l'Amenagement du secteur riverain et qu'il continue a
collaborer avec les partenaires afin de parvenir a un equilibre. II indique que
I'amenagement de des activites du port dans Ie secteur ouest de la ville couterait environ
250 M$ et que cela est impossible a court terme. M. Soppitt met Ie conseil au courant
des activites du terminal de croisieres Pugsley, affirmant que les activites economiques
Iiees aux croisieres connaltront une croissance sans precedent et que 59 navires de
croisiere et 142,000 passagers sont prevus pour cette annee. II indique que la
planification des installations de croisiere progresse rapidement et que la configuration
du terminal et les exigences en matiere d'espace seront determinees au cours des
prochains mois.
M. Soppitt souleve la question de la securite portuaire en ce qui a trait
aux mesures de securite internationales exigees, y compris Ie controle d'acces, la
securite materielle des installations et de la cargaison ainsi que la carte d'identite a
photo et indique que ces mesures doivent etre mises en place avant Ie 1 er juillet 2004. II
souligne que la securite constitue la principale priorite des navires de croisiere qui
entrent dans Ie port et declare que ces mesures de securite seront rigoureusement
appliquees.
M. Doyle termine en assurant Ie conseil que l'Administration portuaire
agira conformement a ses objectifs de protection des interets portuaires et d'assurance
d'un equilibre entre Ie port et la collectivite et soutient les commentaires de M. David
Gordon, urbaniste de I'universite Queen's, selon lesquels The City of Saint John
possede une occasion unique de se distinguer en mettant en vedette un des derniers et
plus importants secteurs riverains actuellement exploites au pays.

quartier, au nom du conseil South Central Citizens' Council. II indique egalement que
lorsque Ie concept du systeme electoral par quartiers fut presente aux residents en
1998, 54 % de ces derniers avaient vote en faveur.
Plusieurs conseillers ont exprime leurs opinions selon lequel un systeme
electoral par quartiers n'ameliorerait pas la representation et indiquent qu'ils reyoivent
des appels provenant de tous les quartiers de la ville et qu'ils offrent leurs services a
tous.
Le conseiller Chase presente une proposition, qui n'est pas appuyee,
pour ajouter la question suivante : << Desirez-vous que la ville so it divisee en quatre
