2. Approval of Minutes
On motion of Councillor Ferguson
Seconded by Councillor Court
RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of
Common Council, held on May 23,2006, be approved.
Referring to items 8.1 and 13.4 from the May 23, 2006, 2005 Financial Statements and
Management Pay Scale respectively, Councillor Ferguson pointed out that the pension
plan situation has worsened and proposed a motion in this regard.
On motion of Councillor Ferguson
Seconded by Councillor Court
RESOLVED that Common Council engage an
independent third party expert in the area of pension law, pension administration,
pension structure and pension investment to perform a complete and thorough review of
92-274
COMMON COUNCIL / CONSEIL COMMUNAL
JUNE 5, 2006/ LE 5 JUIN 2006
The City of Saint John's Pension Plan. To ensure public confidence in the final report,
this independent third party engagement must be free from staff, members of the
Pension Board and Common Council.
Councillor Ferguson expressed concern regarding the financial status of the pension
plan and stressed the need for a complete independent third party review. Councillor
Farren spoke in support of the proposed motion and Councillor Court questioned if the
City has any protection if the markets drop as they did approximately three years ago, to
which Mr. Beckett responded there is no guarantee against a downturn and pointed out
the Pension Board has taken actions to diversify it's investments so that if there is a
particular downturn in the investment it would be marginalized by having investments in
a number of different places.
Responding to a question raised by Councillor Chase, Mr. Totten referenced a
December 19, 2005 motion of Council requesting an independent professional report
with recommendations from the Pension Plan's Actuary, Morneau Sobeco, and
explained that he anticipates a report from the firm following their meeting with the
Pension Board on June ih. Councillor Chase advised that he could not support the
proposed motion and explained his preference would be to wait for the report from
Morneau Sobeco. Mr. Totten suggested it would be beneficial for Council members if
the Pension Board's Actuary - Fred Lewis of Morneau Sobeco, Solicitor - Deno Pappas
of Clark Drummie, and Investment Manager - Vanio Keelmann of API Asset
Performance Inc. were to make a presentation to Council taking them through the
pension investment process.
Councillor Titus advised that he could not support the proposed motion and spoke in
support of Mr. Totten's suggestion and recommended this presentation take place in two
weeks.
Question being taken, the motion was defeated with Mayor McFarlane,
Deputy Mayor Hooton, and Councillors Chase, Titus and McGuire voting "nay".
Councillor Court proposed a motion that Council delay the management pay increases,
with the exception of a 2% cost of living increase, until the 2007 budget deliberations are
completed. Councillor Titus raised a point of order expressing the view that the
proposed motion is to reconsider a motion which was passed by Council on May 23rd
and stated that it must come from someone in the affirmative. Mayor McFarlane asked
the Common Clerk to rule on the matter.
Referring to Sections 3.10 and 3.11 of the Procedural By-law of Council, Motion to
Rescind and Reconsideration - any decision respectively, Mr. Woods read the definitions
and expressed the opinion that the proposed motion is a reconsideration and must be
made by one of the prevailing side. Mayor McFarlane confirmed that the proposed
motion is ruled out of order.
On motion of Councillor Ferguson
Seconded by Councillor Farren
RESOLVED that the rules and regulations of the
by-law entitled "By-law Number M-5 a By-law Respecting the Procedures of the
Common Council of The City of Saint John" be suspended to enable Councillor Court to
make a motion.
Mr. Woods stated the original order of business was the adoption of the minutes; noted a
matter was raised pursuant to the minutes which was defeated; and the next item was
ruled out of order. He questioned if Council is now accepting the proposed motion, as
arising from the minutes, and explained referring to Section 15.21 of the By-law that it is
appropriate to lift the rules orally and without notice pointing out that it requires a two-
third vote of the body to proceed to set the rules aside. Mr. Woods explained that this
requirement was set out in Article 3.5 of the Procedural By-law.
Question being taken, the motion was defeated with Mayor McFarlane,
Deputy Mayor Hooton and Councillors Chase, McGuire and Titus voting "nay".
Referring to item 12.1 - 2006 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund and General Fund Capital
Program Adjustments, Councillor Court raised concerns with regard to $1.2 million being
taken from this Fund and paid into the Pension Fund pointing out that Council did not
give authorization to this action. Mr. Totten responded advising that Council approved
92-275
COMMON COUNCIL I CONSEIL COMMUNAL
JUNE 5, 2006/ LE 5 JUIN 2006
the revisions to the Water & Sewerage Utility Fund on May 23rd; and explained that the
Finance Committee reviewed these statements which showed a surplus in excess of
$1.2 million. Councillor Court stressed that the Utility Funds should stay in that particular
Fund and not be moved to the Pension Fund.
Question being taken on the original motion, the motion was carried.
2. Approbation du proces-verbal de la derniere reunion
Proposition du conseiller Ferguson
Appuyee par Ie conseiller Court
RESOLU que Ie proces-verbal de la reunion du
conseil communal tenue Ie 23 mai 2006 so it approuve.
Se reportant aux points 8.1 et 13.4 de la reunion tenue Ie 23 mai 2006, soit
respectivement les etats financiers de 2005 et I'echelle de remuneration des cadres, Ie
conseiller Ferguson souligne que la situation relative au regime de retraite s'est
deterioree et presente une proposition a cet effet.
Proposition du conseiller Ferguson
Appuyee par Ie conseiller Court
RESOLU que Ie conseil communal embauche un
tiers expert independant dans les domaines du droit, de I'administration, de la structure
et des placements du regime de retraite afin qu'il procede a un examen complet et
minutieux du regime de retraite de The City of Saint John. Pour que la population puisse
avoir confiance dans Ie rapport final, cet expert doit etre independant des membres du
personnel du conseil d'administration du regime de retraite et du conseil communal.
Le conseiller Ferguson s'est dit preoccupe par la situation financiere du regime de
retraite et souligne la necessite d'un examen complet par un tiers independant. Le
conseiller Farren exprime son appui a la proposition presentee. Le conseiller Court
demande si la Ville est protegee en cas de baisse des marches comme cela s'est
produit, il y a environ trois ans. M. Beckett lui repond qu'il n'existe aucune garantie
contre Ie declin du marche et souligne que Ie conseil d'administration du regime de
retraite a pris des mesures pour diversifier ses placements de sorte que s'il y avait une
baisse particuliere dans les placements, elle serait marginalisee du fait de la repartition
des placements a differents endroits.
En reponse a une question soulevee par Ie conseiller Chase, M. Totten fait reference a
une proposition du conseil emise Ie 19 decembre 2005 demandant un rapport
professionnel independant incluant les recommandations de I'actuaire du regime de
retraite, Morneau Sobeco, et indique qu'il s'attend a un rapport de I'entreprise a la suite
de sa rencontre avec Ie conseil d'administration du regime de retraite qui aura lieu Ie
7 juin. Le conseiller Chase declare qu'il ne peut appuyer la proposition presentee et
explique qu'il prefererait attendre Ie rapport de Morneau Sobeco. M. Totten suggere qu'il
serait avantageux pour les membres du conseil si I'actuaire du conseil d'administration
du regime de retraite, I'avocat Fred Lewis de Morneau Sobeco, Deno Pappas de Clark
Drummie et Ie gestionnaire financier Vanio Keelman de API Asset Performance Inc.
faisaient une presentation au conseil dans Ie but de revoir Ie processus de placement
des fonds de retraite.
Le conseiller Titus affirme qu'il ne peut soutenir la proposition presentee, se prononce en
faveur de la suggestion de M. Totten et recommande que cette presentation ait lieu dans
deux semaines.
A I'issue du vote, la proposition est rejetee. Le maire McFarlane, Ie maire
suppleant Hooton et les conseillers Chase, Titus et McGuire votent contre la proposition.
Le conseiller Court presente une proposition visant a ce que Ie conseil reporte les
augmentations de la remuneration des cadres, a I'exception de I'augmentation du coOt
de la vie de 2 %, jusqu'a la fin des discussions sur Ie budget 2007. Le conseiller Titus
souleve une objection, affirmant que la proposition presentee vise a reexaminer une
proposition qui a ete adoptee par Ie conseille 23 mai et declare qu'elle doit provenir de
quelqu'un qui avait vote en faveur de cette derniere. Le maire McFarlane demande au
greffier communal de se prononcer sur la question.
92-276
COMMON COUNCIL I CONSEIL COMMUNAL
JUNE 5, 2006 I LE 5 JUIN 2006
Se reportant aux articles 3.10 et 3.11 de I'arrete procedural du conseil, Proposition de
revocation et Reexamen - toute decision respectivement, M. Woods lit les definitions et
est d'avis que la proposition presentee constitue un reexamen et doit etre presentee par
un membre qui a vote avec Ie camp qui I'a emporte. Le maire McFarlane confirme que la
proposition presentee est jugee irrecevable.
Proposition du conseiller Ferguson
Appuyee par Ie conseiller Farren
RESOLU que les reglements de I'arrete intitule
<< Arrete nO M-5, concernant Ie rE3glement interieur du conseil communal de The City of
Saint John )) soient suspend us afin de permettre au conseiller Court de presenter une
proposition.
M. Woods declare que I'ordre du jour original comportait I'adoption du proces-verbal,
qu'une question a ete sou levee relativement au proces-verbal et qu'elle a ete rejetee et
que Ie prochain point a ete juge irrecevable. II demande si Ie conseil accepte maintenant
la proposition presentee dans Ie proces-verbal et explique, en se reportant a
I'article 15.21 de I'arrete, qu'il est pertinent de suspendre les reglements oralement et
sans avis, tout en soulignant que cette suspension necessite un vote majoritaire des
deux tiers du conseil. M. Woods explique que cette exigence est prevue a I'article 3.5 de
I'arrete procedural.
A I'issue du vote, la proposition est rejetee. Le maire McFarlane, Ie maire
suppleant Hooton et les conseillers Chase, McGuire et Titus votent contre la proposition.
Se reportant au point 12.1, Ajustements au programme d'immobilisations du fonds des
services d'aqueduc et d'egouts et du fonds d'administration pour 2006, Ie conseiller
Court s'inquiete du fait qu'une somme de 1,2 million de dollars ait ete retiree de ce fonds
et versee dans la caisse de retraite sans que Ie conseil n'ait donne son aval. M. Totten
repond en affirmant que Ie conseil a approuve les ajustements au programme
d'immobilisations du fonds du reseau d'aqueduc et d'egout proposes Ie 23 mai et
explique que Ie Comite des finances a examine ces releves indiquant un surplus de plus
de 1,2 million de dollars. Le conseiller Court insiste sur Ie fait que Ie fonds du reseau
devrait demeurer dans ce fonds particulier et ne pas etre verse dans la caisse de
retraite.
A I'issue du vote, la proposition initiale est adoptee.

Mr. Totten advised his report is in response to Council's request for staff's input
regarding the proposed LNG Terminal at Mispec. He advised that the concession was
poor tax policy but the economic benefits to the community made it good economic
development policy. With regard to the Brunswick Pipeline project, Mr. Totten provided
Council with a detailed review advising that staff would recommend that the City should
limit its status of intervener to that of providing "written comment' indicating that the
marine route remains Council's preferred route and that Council expects the National
Energy Board on behalf of this community to pay specific attention and detail to the
marine route and to hold Emera strictly accountable for the professionalism, detail and
facts contained in the various studies that have concluded that the marine route is not
viable. Mr. Totten further recommended that the City's written submission to the NEB
support Emera's preferred route through the City, should the marine route be verified as
not being possible within all of the various criteria for this project. He advised that in
terms of the effects on existing municipal infrastructure, disruption to citizens lives and
for obvious safety reasons, the route through Rockwood Park is seen by staff as being
more acceptable then either of the other two alternatives presented by Emera. Mr.
Totten stated his recommendation to Council would be to receive and file the submitted
report, and instruct him to prepare a written submission to the National Energy Board
that is consistent with the contents of his report and that the submission be signed by the
Mayor on behalf of Common Council.
On motion of Councillor Ferguson
Seconded by Councillor Farren

Canada has the final deciding authority over the proposed gas pipeline routes through
The City of Saint John;
AND WHEREAS the Energy Board of Canada is a quasi judiciary body;
AND WHEREAS an intervener must present evidence and defend evidence;
AND WHEREAS the proposed route will involve taxpaying landowners;
AND WHEREAS The City of Saint John has no deciding authority over the proposed
route;
AND WHEREAS The City of Saint John has a responsibility to its residents;
1. Common Council engage a professional intervener for The City of Saint John on
behalf of the citizens in regards to the proposed route.
2. The intervener and/or its representatives of the intervener are given the latitude
to analyze the engineering specifications of the proposed route, its implication on

making application.

A lengthy discussion followed with Councillor Court and Farren speaking in support of
the proposed motion. Objecting to the proposed motion, Councillor Chase referenced
the huge economic benefit that the LNG project will bring to Saint John. Referring to the
benefits for the other levels of government from this project, Deputy Mayor Hooton
inquired if it would be possible to have the Provincial Government pay for the intervener.
Mr. Totten explained that funding is available to community groups but nothing exists for
municipalities at the present time.
Question being taken, the motion was defeated with Mayor McFarlane,
Deputy Mayor Hooton and Councillors Chase, McGuire and Titus voting "nay".

M. Totten mentionne que son rapport decoule de la demande du conseil qui voulait
obtenir les commentaires du personnel sur Ie proJet de terminal de gaz naturelliquefie a
Mispec. II affirme que I'allegement fiscal est une pietre politique fiscale, mais que les
avantages economiques apportes a la collectivite constituent une bonne politique de
developpement economique. En ce qui concerne Ie projet de gazoduc Brunswick,
M. Totten presente au conseil un examen detaille. II mentionne que Ie personnel
recommande que la ville limite son statut d'intervenant a la presentation d'un
(( memoire >>, indiquant que la voie maritime demeure la voie privilegiee du conseil et
que ce dernier s'attend a ce que l'Office national de I'energie (ONE), au nom de cette
collectivite, prete une attention particuliere a cette option, et de tenir Emera strictement
responsable du professionnalisme, des details et des faits contenus dans diverses
etudes qui ont conclu que la voie maritime n'etait pas viable. M. Totten recommande en
outre que Ie memoire de la Ville transmis a I'ONE soutienne Ie trace privilegie d'Emera a
travers la ville, s'il s'averait que la voie maritime ne reponde pas a tous les criteres du
projet. II indique qu'a cause des incidences sur les infrastructures municipales actuelles,
de la perturbation de la vie des citoyens et pour des raisons de securite evidentes, Ie
personnel considere Ie trace a travers Ie parc Rockwood comme etant plus acceptable
que les deux autres options presentees par Emera. M. Totten recommande au conseil
d'accepter et de classer Ie rapport presente, de Ie charger de preparer un memoire a
I'intention de l'Office national de I'energie qui soit conforme au contenu de ce rapport et
de faire signer Ie memoire par Ie maire, au nom du conseil communal.

que des fonds sont disponibles pour les groupes communautaires, mais qu'il n'en existe
pas actuellement pour les municipalites.
