Referencing the Charter of Rights "7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.", and subsequent to the opinion of the City Solicitor, Councillor Tait noted the residency requirement was removed from all four civic union collective agreements. Commenting with regard to working co-operatively with our neighbours and to approach matters of mutual concern on a regional basis, Councillor Tait asked for Council's support in revoking the current residency policy. On motion of Councillor Tait Seconded by Councillor Ferguson RESOLVED that as recommended by Councillor Tait, the Council residency requirements policy affecting management and non union, current and future employees be revoked; and that the Mayor and Council and senior staff continue to encourage all City employees, particularly department heads, to live in the City of Saint John. Discussion followed with Councillor Tait questioning the City Manager if the residency policy has any impact in recruiting and retaining people; to which the City Manager confirmed it is causing problems with a number of issues. Councillor Tait asked if the following opinion was true: (which in his view the City Solicitor has given) "that the municipality's dictating where prospective or current employees may establish their home is an infringement of the s.7 to the liberty guaranteed by the Charter. Further, a satisfactory case based upon the facts has not yet been made to support the argument that such limitation could take place in accordance with the principles of natural justice. And finally if such a case cannot be made, no sound basis has yet been laid for saving such a policy under the terms of s.1 of the Charter". Responding the City Solicitor pointed out he has always provided an opinion in legal session and questioned if Council wanted him to discuss the issue in open session, to which Council assented. Continuing, the City Solicitor stated that it has been his opinion that dictating where a person lives by an employer is an infringement of the liberty right under the Charter and that in order to justify an infringement upon that right, each employer would have to meet requirements as laid out by the Supreme Court of Canada which are outlined in Councillor Tait's letter. Referencing a case with regard to the Fire Department and whether or not operational imperatives could only be met if firefighters lived within The City of Saint John, the City Solicitor confirmed that there were no operational imperatives that could be met only by requiring people to live within The City of Saint John, consequently Council was advised at the time that he was not provided with any information, at that time, to support an argument that an infringement would be justified based upon where a firefighter lives; and further explained that based upon the cases he examined there was no evidence to support a sound defense noting that it has been approximately a year since he has examined the case law regarding residency. Councillor Court spoke against the proposed motion expressing the view that Saint John has more emigration than immigration; and stressed the importance of senior staff setting an example by living in The City of Saint John. Councillor Farren expressed the opinion that people who work with the City should live in the City and advised he could not support the proposed motion. The City Solicitor concluded by saying that it has been approximately a year since he has reviewed the case law regarding this issue; and explained that if the City had clear, cogent, compelling evidence that is verifiable and objective that would 90-760 COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL JULY 5,2004, LE 5 JUILLET 2004 support infringing an individuals right, then a residency clause may be applicable, but in his opinion we do not. Question being taken, the motion was carried, with Councillors Chang, Court and Farren voting nay. 4.5 Exigences en matiere de residence Examen d'une lettre presentee par Ie conseiller Tait fournissant des renseignements pertinents relatifs a la politique portant sur I'exigence en matiere de residence etablie vers Ie milieu des annees 1980 relativement aux quatre syndicats municipaux et Ie 20 mai 2003 relativement a tous les postes de direction et les postes non syndiques; et indiquant que suite a une etude de la jurisprudence et de la politique municipale, I'avocat municipal conclut que les conditions suivantes doivent etre respectees afin que la municipalite puisse recourir a une exigence ayant trait a la residence: 1) I'objectif vise par une telle exigence doit s'appliquer a un cas qui, dans I'interet de l'Etat, presente une situation de telle importance et de telle envergure a I'emporter sur les droits individuels a la liberte; 2) une preuve concrete doit appuyer une telle exigence afin de demontrer qu'elle servira ledit objectif de maniere significative; 3) et ladite exigence represente Ie moyen Ie moins importun de proceder. Le conseiller Tait cite I'article 7 de la Charte des droits et libertes : << Chacun a droit a la vie, a la liberte et a la securite de sa personne; il ne peut etre porte atteinte a ce droit qu'en conformite avec les principes de justice fondamentale >> et, suivant I'opinion de I'avocat municipal, Ie conseiller Tait indique que Ie syndicat a supprime la disposition relative a I'exigence en matiere de residence imposee en vertu des quatre conventions collectives municipales. Le conseiller Tait se prononce sur la question de la collaboration avec les regions avoisinantes et suggere d'aborder les questions de preoccupation mutuelles sur une base regionale et il demande au conseil de resilier la politique en vigueur relative a I'exigence en matiere de residence. Proposition du conseiller Tait Appuyee par Ie conseiller Ferguson Comme Ie recommande Ie conseiller Tait, QUE la politique du conseil relative aux exigences en matiere de residence visant les employes de la direction et les employes non syndiques, actuels et futurs, soit resiliee; et que Ie maire, Ie conseil et les cadres superieurs continuent a encourager tous les employes municipaux, surtout les chefs de service, a etablir leur residence a I'interieur des limites de The City of Saint John. Une discussion s'ensuit et Ie conseiller Tait demande au directeur general si la politique relative en matiere de residence touche Ie recrutement et Ie maintien en poste des employes actuels; et Ie directeur general confirme que des problemes existent relativement a certaines questions. Le conseiller Tait questionne la veracite du commentaire suivant : (qu'a son avis a ete enonce par I'avocat municipal) << .. .que la municipalite ordonne aux employes eventuels ou actuels d'etablir leur residence dans certains lieux porte atteinte aux libertes garanties par I'art. 7 de la Charte. De plus, une cause satisfaisante reposant sur les faits n'a pas encore ete avancee pour appuyer I'argument qu'une telle limitation pourrait se produire conformement aux principes de la justice naturelle. Finalement, si une telle cause ne peut etre avancee, aucun fondement solide n'a jusqu'a maintenant ete etabli afin de justifier Ie maintien en vigueur d'une telle politique conformement aux dispositions de I'article 1 de la Charte >>. L'avocat municipal affirme qu'il a toujours exprime ses opinions au cours des seances juridiques et demande au conseil s'il desire entendre ses propos sur la question pendant la reunion publique, et Ie conseil y acquiesce. Poursuivant, I'avocat municipal affirme qu'il est de I'opinion que lorsque I'employeur ordonne a ses employes d'etablir leur residence dans un lieu particulier, il s'agit d'une atteinte a la liberte en vertu de la Charte et, afin de justifier une telle atteinte a ce droit, chaque employeur doit se conformer aux exigences imposees par la cour Supreme du Canada, telles qu'elles sont soulignees dans la lettre presentee par Ie conseiller Tait. Se reportant a un cas relatif au service d'incendie et a la question a savoir si les impositions operationnelles ne pourraient etre respectees que dans Ie cas ou les pompiers etabliraient leur residence a I'interieur des limites de The City of Saint John, I'avocat municipal confirme qu'il n'existait aucune imposition operationnelle qui n'aurait pu etre respectee que si les personnes habitaient a I'interieur des limites de The City of Saint John, par consequent, Ie conseil avait ete 90-761 COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL JULY 5, 2004/LE 5 JUILLET 2004 avise a ce moment-Ia qu'il n'avait reyu aucun renseignement, a I'epoque, pour appuyer un argument voulant que I'atteinte serait justifiee selon Ie lieu ou habitait Ie pompier; et, de plus, il explique que selon son etude de la jurisprudence, il n'existe aucun fondement pour appuyer une defense legitime, ajoutant qu'un an s'est ecoule depuis qu'il a examine la jurisprudence relative a la question d'exigence ayant trait a la residence. Le conseiller Court exprime son opposition a la proposition indiquant qu'a son sens Saint John connalt davantage d'emigration que d'immigration; et il souligne qu'il importe que les cadres superieurs donnent un bon exemple en etablissant leur residence a I'interieur des limites de The City of Saint John. Le conseiller Farren exprime I'opinion que les personnes qui sont embauchees par la municipalite devraient resider a I'interieur desdites limites et affirme qu'il ne peut appuyer la proposition. L'avocat municipal termine en affirmant qu'environ un an s'est ecoule depuis qu'il a examine la jurisprudence sur ladite question et explique que si la municipalite etait en possession d'une preuve pertinente et convaincante, verifiable et objective, pour appuyer une atteinte portee aux droits de la personne, une clause d'exigence en matiere de residence pourrait alors s'appliquer mais, selon son opinion, il n'en existe aucune. A I'issue du vote, la proposition est acceptee. Les conseillers Chang, Court et Farren ont vote contre. 4.6 Immigration Information On motion of Councillor Chang Seconded by Councillor Ferguson RESOLVED that as recommended by Councillor Chang, the City Manager investigate the benefits of creating a unified umbrella committee or group that addresses larger issues concerning immigration; with the purpose of this group being to gain a larger piece of provincial funding, establish programs to encourage immigrants to chose Saint John, set up settlement programs; standardize policies; and create specific programs such as: 1. host programs including mentoring programs 2. job, employment searches (a) educate employers on benefits of hiring international students and others from abroad (b) increase employer awareness 3. language integration, lessons in English and or French 4. educate the public on immigration issues, creating awareness, social acceptance, and sensitivity 5. create the infrastructure that will support the influx of large numbers of immigrants 6. possibly merge resources (a) reduce redundancy (b) centralize and standardize 7. create a refugee sponsorship program (a) local family sponsors the refugee (b) establish an insurance fund Question being taken, the motion was carried. 4.6 Information relative a I'immigration Proposition du conseiller Chang Appuyee par Ie conseiller Ferguson Comme Ie recommande Ie conseiller Chang, QUE Ie directeur general examine les avantages lies a la creation d'un comite ou d'un groupe uni de coordination pour traiter les questions de grande importance relatives a I'immigration; Ie but de ce groupe etant d'obtenir de plus amples subventions provinciales, d'etablir des programmes pour encourager les immigrants a choisir Saint John pour s'etablir et de concevoir des programmes d'etablissement des immigrants, de normaliser les politiques et de creer des programmes precis tels que les suivants : 90-762 COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL JULY 5,2004, LE 5 JUILLET 2004 1.

The City Solicitor advised that a title search has revealed that the lanes leading from Sunset Drive, Lingley Lane and Roderick Row to and around the "playground" are not owned by the Province, consequently, the "playground" is a land-locked parcel without deeded access from either the public streets or from any lots in Sunset Heights. Discussions with staff at Supply and Services has indicated that the owners of the lanes leading to and surrounding the "playground" have expressed a willingness to sell the lanes for $5,000 and explained that concluding the purchase authorized by Council on June 9,2003 would not provide deeded access to the "playground"; and suggested that if Council wishes to purchase the lanes it would be in order to authorize negotiations, and if not, Council should consider rescinding the June 2003 resolution.
