On motion of Councillor Titus Seconded by Councillor Tait RESOLVED that the issue of rescinding the LNG Property Tax Concession be referred to the City Solicitor to advise on the legal ramifications if this motion is supported. The City Solicitor advised that Council would be well served by receiving a written response from the City Solicitor. During comments made by Councillor Court, Councillor Titus called a point of order on which the Mayor ruled that debate is appropriate only on the issue of referral. Councillor Court stated that he believes the referral motion is inappropriate. Question on the referral motion being taken, the motion was defeated. Councillor Ferguson proposed an amendment to the main motion, which was not seconded, to add, "insofar as we have the authority to rescind". Councillor Court supported the motion citing lack of transparency in process, flaws in reports and unfair taxation. Councillor Farren called a point of order on the interruptions caused by the audience at which point the Mayor asked for order, advising that if order could not be achieved he would have to call for a recess and clear the Chamber. The Mayor apologized to Council and others who have mistaken his actions in the matter of the LNG tax concession over the last few weeks as anything but honorable. Councillor Titus expressed his dismay that Council is not taking the advice of the City Solicitor and City Staff. Councillor Ferguson expressed his opposition to the motion by saying that rescinding the motion would destroy Council's credibility. Councillor Farren advised that he does not support the motion based on the City's need for jobs, and other economic benefits to be realized as a result of the LNG Terminal being located in Saint John. Deputy Mayor Hooton stated that Council must reflect the will of the public and have its debates in a transparent fashion. The City Solicitor advised that adding a clause as suggested by Councillor Ferguson would have no impact. Question being taken on the main motion, the motion was defeated. Councillor Titus asked that the record show he voted in favor of the rescinding motion. During discussion on the above item, the Mayor called for order in the audience several times. The Mayor called for a recess at 8:50 p.m., with the meeting resuming at 9:00 p.m. 5.2 Proposition visant a revoquer la resolution relative a I'allegement fiscal visant la propriete prevue pour I'installation du terminal de gaz naturel liquefie Proposition du maire suppleant Hooton Appuyee par Ie conseiller Court RESOLU que la proposition adoptee Ie 14 mars 2005, a savoir : << RESOLU : Attendu que I'amenagement dudit projet depend de la determination du taux d'imposition exige sur ladite propriete a un bareme concurrentiel par rapport aux terminaux similaires existants ou proposes dans Ie Canada atlantique, Ie nord-est des Etats-Unis et en Amerique du Nord; 91-380 COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL COMMUNAL MARCH 29, 2005/LE 29 MARS 2005 Attendu que Ie projet propose prevoit creer entre 500 et 600 emplois pendant la periode de construction, qu'un montant d'environ 26 millions de dollars sera injecte dans I'economie locale et que 20 emplois permanents seront crees; Attendu que I'emplacement du terminal, situe a I'extremite de la limite municipale en direction est, n'imposera aucun cout supplementaire aux proprietaires actuels dans la collectivite; IL EST RESOLU que Ie conseil communal etablisse, selon qu'il releve de I'autorite municipale, une zone precise aux fins d'impot foncier visant Ie gaz naturel liquefie afin de ne com prendre que les terrains sur lesquels sont situes Ie terminal de gaz naturelliquefie actuel, I'emplacement de dechargement et les quais servant a decharger Ie gaz naturelliquefie et, de plus, QUE Ie taux d'impot foncier, tel qu'autrement determine en vertu du paragraphe 87c) de la Loi sur les municipalites, soit ajuste annuellement afin de fixer Ie montant du a The City of Saint John, provenant de cette zone precise, a 500 000 $ par annee pour une periode 25 ans. >> So it revoquee et, de plus, Que Ie directeur general et les employes municipaux appropries redigent un rapport formulant des recommandations relativement a la possibilite d'offrir un incitatif fiscal sur la propriete aux promoteurs du terminal de gaz naturelliquefie propose.
