SECOND DRAFT:
CHANGES MADE - ISSUES TO CONSIDER
In response to concerns expressed at Monday's meeting, the second draft includes the
following changes.
1. Building and Inspection Services has been increased by $100,000
2. To fund the above amount and to be sensitive to the concerns of
Councillors, the following changes have been made.
a. Reduced the Communication Budget. It is unlikely that we
will succeed in filling three positions. We will focus on
recruiting a Communication Professional, filling the vacant
Communication's Officer Position. When in place, these
professionals will be able to provide Council a clear picture
of the requirements for 2009 and beyond.
$50,000
b. Reduced the Clerk's budget for the funding associated with
"one" position.
Although this position would be filled and the cost would
be split between the Pension Board and the Communication
Unit. In other words, no additional funding.

3. Reclassified the expenditure for the engagement of a Pension
expert from Council's Budget to the Human Resources Budget for
both 2008 and 2009.
4. With respect to the Capital Budget the following changes;
Increase the investment in Heritage Grants from $150,000 to $200,000
in recognition of an expanded area. To stay within the total Capital
Program, reduce the investment in the Rockwood Park Redevelopment
Plan by $50,000.
Finally, (note these changes have not been made), I have considered
the views expressed by some that the tax rate should be reduced to
"some extent". If this were the direction provided, Council should
focus on those reductions that Council could sustain. In other words,
they would not be on the table for consideration next year.
Specifically, Council should consider; (if Council were to give
direction to reduce the tax rate by 1 cent), the following sustainable
reductions. .
a. Eliminate the need for a Consultant to review the Pension <$50,000>
Issue
b. Permanently back away from the Neighborhood <$150,000>
Development Issue
c. Commit to leaving the Communication function at its <$80,000>
current level
d. Commit to stay with the same level of investment in the <$35,000>
Emergency Measures Organization
e. Commit to keeping support to the Community Arts Board <$30,000>
at the current level
f. Give direction to the following departments to reduce their
submitted budgets with a clear message that the items
reduced are not to re-appear in 2009 and beyond
1. Police Commission <$50,000>
11. Municipal Operations <$50,000>

Beyond a 1 cent reduction, staff would look to the "one time write off" or
"capital financed through operation". Our experience is that such
decisions are not necessarily sustainable, however, that would be a
decision of Council next fall.
I trust that the second draft of the Capital and Operating budgets are closer
to the expectations of Council.

The purpose of this report is to provide a summary for review and discussion
by Common Council on the proposed 2008 Capital and Operating Budget of
the City of Saint John's General Fund. If found acceptable to Common
Council, approval is being sought for the necessary recommendations and
resolutions that will allow the Administration to proceed with these
documents, serving as guidelines for the administration when delivering the
various services to the community. ~

OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS
First, these documents have been prepared on the basis, or assumption, that
the City of Saint John is on the cusp of a significant growth period. Quoting
from recent documentation provided by Enterprise Saint John,
"Saint John, New Brunswick, is uniquely positioned as one of
Eastern Canada's fastest growing economies, driven in large part by
the tourism, information & communicatio~nOIOgy, health
sCiences and energy sectors. . '\ ~
Our tourism numbers are sh~ificant growth, due in large

ssengers are forecast to arrive in Saint John in
2007, up 54% fi m 2006). We also have 3 billion in major energy
projects currently underway, and well over $20 billion in planned or
potential incremental capital investments anticipated over the next
decade.

OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS
Local employment numbers are up almost 30% over the past decade
(since 1996); the highest increase of any urban centre in New
Brunswick over this same time period. In addition, a staggering 61 %
of all new jobs created in New Brunswick over the past 12 months
have been created right here in Saint John. "
Specifically, as this growth applies to the munici~ the City has been
mformed that Its tax base has grown by 7.5 0 In ~e ~ear; the most
significant increase the City has witnessed in e than a decade. Given the
economic outlook, staff would have~ not to suspect that 2008 is the
first year of a period duri 'ch the'\un:iPality will experience
considerable annual tax rate
wth. It is in this context that the 2008
Capital Budget s essive and bold. It proposed significant
investments in long a ited necessary municipal infrastructure projects.
Secondly, the documents have been prepared within a month of Common
Council having accepted and endorsed Sustainability Principles, A Vision
and most important to the Administration, 20- Year Community Goals in the
areas of Social, Economic, Environment, Infrastructure and Governance.

These Goals have guided staff in preparing the documents that Council is
considering this evening. The importance of the work undertaken by the
Citizens Advisory Committee, the Vision 2015 Committee and finally
Common Council cannot be overstated. As we move forward, these
Principles, this Vision and these Goals must become integral to every
decision that is made and serve as the guide rails for all civic services.

meetings, the Visioning process and weekly meetings of Council these
concerns have seldom been raised.
As a result, the Administration can only conclude that while a small sector
of the community might hold such opinions and have a platform to expound
upon them, the wider community does not at all share this same view. The
broader community will always need to be assur~demand that
municipal services are being delivered bot iCi:ntl~ effectively.

The dichotomy of views on such matters is one of the great debates in
municipal circles and will no doubt continue for years. As for the
Administration, its role is to bring these concerns to the attention of elected
officials who in turn have the responsibility of listening to the community
and assessing the pulse of citizens on theses issues. If a majority of the
REpORT TO COMMON COUNCIL

Community share these views, the Administration would fully expect that
Council would give clear direction and that a complete and radical overhaul
to the methods and levels of service provided by Police, Fire, and Municipal
Operations would have to begin. To date, it would appear that in the City
of Saint John such views are not being embraced by the majority.
It is in this context that the proposed Capital and ~ting budget have
been compiled. '\. ~

be, tied directly to the 20- Year Community Goals. For example,

That Capital Budget calls for a direct investment by the municipality of
$1,000,000 along with fifty percent ($600,000) of the monies supplied by
Emera Brunswick for improved recreation facilities, in a redevelopment plan
for the Canada Games Stadium. The current plans involve the placement of
artificial turf, a new synthetic track, grandstand renovations and lighting.
This project would proceed only with the support of the University of New
Brunswick and the Province of New Brunswick. ~
ENHANCING EXISTING RECREATION FACILITIES:
Also included in the prop aPi~ are investments totally over a

Clearly the most significant response to this goal is the investment proposed
to construct a new Transit Facility, the life span of which is expected to be
fifty years.
However, also proposed is the acquisition of four more new low rider buses
along with one Para Transit Vehicle for a total investment of$1,875,000.
Finally, included in the Capital Budget is a amo~o,ooo identified
as a Mobility Transportation Study. Staff wo anticipate that this would
be a major initiative and would req~g support from other partners
if it is to proceed. This is . t a reg~al :tudy and should deal with all
modes of transportation.
GOAL: Our City insi s on the highest standard of quality in architectural
landscaping, infrastructure management and urban design. Our natural

live, work, play and learn.

It is anticipated that t development will in fact be of the highest quality,
that it will help ensure the complete restoration of the Carnegie Building,
that it will have appropriate public gathering spaces and be in total
compliance with Council's approved Arts and Cultural Policy. Staff
remains confident that through the upcoming consultative process, Council's
priorities can all be met in this regard.

This concludes the overview of the proposed Capital Budget. As indicated,
staff would hope that it is not only seen as meeting major infrastructure
needs, but is very response to the 20 Year Community Goals.
THE 2008 OPERATING BUDGET.
If supported by Common Council, the 200
per~get will result in a
tax rate of $1.795 per $100 dollars of assessm . As indicated, both total
revenues and expenditures are expe~rease by 6.36% resulting in a

at the proposed recom endations. In addition, staff has considered certain
challenges and expectations of this particular Council as it nears the end of
its mandate.
Staff is able to state that the proposed Operating Budget will result in the
same general level of services that the community has experienced in 2007.

In order to make this commitment and at the same time be responsive to the
Community Goals and Council's expectations and challenges, certain
operational effectiveness in program delivery are to be implemented as well
as expenditures are going to have to be aggressively managed. Even more
specific, to be successful in meeting these 2008 Operating Budget targets,
Council and the Police Commission are going to have to be successful in
negotiating contracts (particularly with Fire and ~ with wage

At the same ti e, e Op ating Budget reflects the City's legal obligation to
ensure that the Curren ervice Cost of the Employee Pension Plan is being
funded. This is the single largest factor for having to increase the total of all
employee benefits (Health, Dental, WCB, UIC, CPP and Pension from 21 %
to 24%).

Finally, the 2008 Operating budget has made provision for shortcomings that
have been identified in the 2007 Approved Budget. In other words, staff
has made the necessary adjustments based on the experience of the last

additional resources are going to have to be provided in the area of Building
Inspection and By-law Enforcement.
This issue has been brought to the attention of elected officials and the City
Manager by contractors, builders and citizens as the department has recently
struggled to keep up with the increased volume of activity. As a simple
example, the number of building permits issued ~ amounted to

His Worship Mayor McFarlane
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: MANAGEMENT PAY SCALE
On Monday, the issue of the proposed increase to the Management Pay Scale was raised.
I fully appreciate the concerns of Councillors given the public scrutiny this issue always
attracts.
Council, however, should be aware that in making this recommendation, I did, beyond
the information that was supplied, consider the following;
Council signed an agreement with every management / professional employee
that resulted in each individual agreeing to provide an additional 2% of their
earnings to the City. During the presentation made by Mr. Groody, he had been
instructed to advise Council that this group of employees had an expectation that
an annual salary adjustment would generally be in line with the increases
negotiated between the City and the Bargaining Units. The recommendation of
3% is less than the amount being provided to the unionized workforce, however,
it was hoped that it would allow Council to say that we have attempted to the best
of our ability to be sensitive to the understanding that the
management/professional staff when they agreed to contribute to the additional
sum.
Management employees are now aware and very concerned that the City's policy
related to Sick Leave Policy for Management employees is extremely deficient.
Council will recall that an HR Consultant indicated disability insurance should be
provided. To date, this benefit is not being provided. At the moment these
employees are entitled to only 60 days sick leave and then the continuance of their
salary is left to the discretion of the City Manager and then to Council.
Report to Common Council
Page 2
Subject: Management Pay Scale
Management employees now know, as a result of the recently circulated Terms
and Conditions for Management employees, they do not receive vacation
entitlement equal to the unionized employees.
Management has always known that their entitlement to Service Pay is less than
that which is provided the unionized workforce.
Finally, from the comments made to me, I am aware there is a general view held
by this employee group that although they are the first to come to the plate to deal
with serious issues, they are the group that appears to be "least thought of' around
the Council table.
I have proposed a 3% increase in the management pay scale knowing full well that many
in this employee group had expected more given earlier commitments. In the event that
the majority of Council feels something less is appropriate, I would ask that Council
adopt a resolution directing otherwise. At this point, the difference between 3% and 2%
is $75,000 in the General Fund, and $10,000 in the Utility. As a result, I would not
propose altering the budget, but the Open Session resolution dealing with the annual
adjustment to the Pay Scale would be exactly as Council (in Committee) directs.
Respectfully submitted,
Terrence L. Totten, FCA

SUBJECT: SAINT JOHN WATER (UTILITY FUND)
PROPOSED 2008 OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS
PURPOSE OF REpORT
This report covers four matters of business for Saint John Water:
Proposed 2008 Water and Sewerage Utility Fund Operating Budget;
Proposed 2008 Water and Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Budget;
Proposed 2008 user rates for utility services; and
Plan for 2008 to focus on preparing for the future, a year of transition.
TIME FOR RENEWED STRATEGIC DIRECTION
Water ~ Safe, Clean, Healthy; Water and Environmental Outcomes Essential for Saint
Johnl, the strategic direction for water and wastewater services adopted by Council,
acknowledged the crucial need for modern standards in these essential services. There is
a clear determination in the community to do exactly that; Saint John is moving forward.
Wastewater (harbour) clean-up is well underway, but the vitally important conversion to
full drinking water treatment is a huge undertaking that remains before us. Along with
these high profile service upgrades is the sustainability of existing infrastructure assets.
Securing value for money over the long-term and ensuring reliability of services requires
a substantial, never-ending investment in renewal funding in every operating budget.
Debt financing of renewal (re)construction is quite simply not prudent; nor is it ultimately
sustainable. Our community's future is inextricably linked to the three central pillars of
the Saint John Water mandate: high quality drinking water, a clean environment, and
sustainable asset management (public assets conservatively valued at over $1Iz billion).

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.2 The first line in this community's vision is
truly exciting; setting out a clear and positive challenge for Saint John Water.
"Our 5aint John, Canada's first city, leads the nation as an example of a
sustainable community."
Vision 2015, Saint John's Program of Excellence, provides the framework for becoming
that sustainable city, with our ten sustainability principles guiding transformation.
Provide a long-term vision for Saint John based on the pillars of sustainability:
social/cultural, environmental and economic.
Recognize and incorporate the valued and distinctive characteristics of Saint
John - including its human, cultural, historical and natural attributes - in our
vision and planning for a sustainable city.
Engage the entire community of Saint John III the planning and
implementation of sustainable solutions.
Respect Saint John's natural ecosystems. Act as a custodian for the
biodiversity and natural ecosystems of Saint John, and protect and restore
them.
Model the development of Saint John on the characteristics of natural systems.
Strive to minimize Saint John's ecological footprint.
Achieve long-term economic stability and social security in Saint John.
Foster communication among community groups and organizations to
emphasize sustainability as a common shared goal.
Promote sustainable production and consumption through the use of
environmentally sound technologies and effective demand management.
Establish a systematic process of continual improvement, based on action
planning, accountability, transparency and good governance.
These principles provide much needed context for the evolution of Saint John's water and
wastewater services.

BACKGROUND
Saint John Water is a municipal public utility funded separately by the users of water and
wastewater services, as prescribed by the Municipalities Act of New Brunswick.
The utility serves over 60,000 citizens, plus thousands of visitors, students and people
who work in Saint John, as well as the industry, businesses and public institutions that
make up our socio-economic fabric. The rate-paying customer base consists of:
01 13,645 flat-rate accounts, covering 16,845 dwelling units with water service
and 16,580 with wastewater;
01 2,919 industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) metered accounts; and
01 City of Saint John (General Fund) for fire hydrant services and storm drainage
capacity provided by the utility's combined sewers (sanitary and storm water).
Daily water production averages around 44 million imperial gallons per day (IGPD); over
16 billion IG or 73 million cubic metres annually. Over 90% of all consumption goes to
ICI customers; most of that to the two largest water users.
Ratepayers have invested heavily in their utility services in recent years - pursuing
increasingly higher quality expectations for potable water, enhanced environmental
protection and harbour clean-up, and improved service reliability. Rates have risen
steadily for all user classes. Residential flat-rate charges, for example, have increased by
over 76% since 2000, from $395 per year to $696 in 2007:

Notwithstanding these higher rates, the price of services remains reasonable; particularly
in light of other household costs - cable TV, telephone and internet, fuel oil, electricity,
bottled water and other beverages. Water is a service essential to life itself, with the

associated sanitary wastewater disposal vital to public health and our environment. Each
service is also part of sustaining our economic base and supporting delivery of health and
other social services; they go to the heart of our quality of life and economic well-being.
Higher service expectations are reflected in gradually increasing budget allocations.

The governments of Canada and
New Brunswick have helped us with
substantial investments in water and
wastewater infrastructure. Otherwise
rates would have been much higher
or progress much less. In the late
1990s, $6.5 million went into
sanitary upgrades West and North.
Since the beginning of the new
millennium, $3.34 million was
shared in the expansion of the
Millidgeville WWTP and $1.85
million for a Churchill Boulevard collector sewer; $53.2 million has been committed to
harbour clean-up through the Strategic Infrastructure Fund and an additional $5.53
million from the Municipal-Rural Infrastructure Fund. Water storage capacity West has
been enhanced substantially with assistance in the amount of $3.4 million; and Gas Tax
contributions have added another $1,260,000 to asset rehabilitation and upgrading.
Bottom Line This generous support, over $68,500,000 since 2000, has allowed the City
to moderate utility user rates, and enabled the community to advance service standards.

REVIEW OF RATES AND RATE STRUCTURE OPTIONS
In 2002, a business plan review evaluated the user rate structure and revenue needs of the
utility. The study presented a rate model and financial framework for Saint John Water.
After consultation and feedback from the community, a somewhat revised approach was
recommended by staff and adopted by Council. The next generation of financial analysis
(initiated in 2006) has studied rates and rate structure options. Its goals were clear pricing
policies and public assurance that equity is reflected in the rates charged for services.
Two requirements are fundamental to equitable cost allocation and an appropriate rate
structure for utility customers: first, a solid set of principles upon which to base the
system of charges; and, secondly, a logical approach for development of the rate structure
and rate calculations. People must see equity and fairness in what they pay for services.
A final draft of the report has just been received; the consultants' findings and their
recommendations will be presented in open session to Council. A dialogue with the
public and utility customers should then ensue. Stakeholder feedback, from individual
citizens to large water users, will be among the considerations that Council must weigh in
setting a course for this important matter of public and financial policy.
THREE ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES
The Drinking Water Service provides safe, good quality potable water to
residential, institutional, municipal, commercial and industrial customers of
the utility. Currently, drinking water receives limited treatment only;
disinfected (with chlorine) in accordance with Health Canada Guidelines for
Canadian Drinking Water Quality and fluoridated for dental health reasons.
The service is regulated under the Clean Environment Act - Water Quality
Regulation - and delivered under an Approval to Operate issued by the
Minister of Environment to the City of Saint John.
The Industrial Water Service provides some industries with sufficient
quantities of raw (untreated) water to support operating processes. This
service should be expanded to deliver treated wastewater effluent (grey water)
to industries which could utilize this resource.
The Wastewater Service provides collection, treatment and disposal of
municipal wastewater; collected and transported to treatment facilities through
a system of sanitary sewers and wastewater pumping stations. Wastewater
schemes, treatment facilities and associated collection mains are operated in
compliance with the Clean Environment Act - Water Quality Regulation -
under Approvals to Operate issued by the Minister of Environment to the City
of Saint John. The service is also regulated under the Federal Fisheries Act
and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

Excellence the Goal Saint John Water is committed to meeting the many and diverse
needs of our customers, while at the same time fulfilling our obligations to the broader
community and the environment. Services quality has improved appreciably in recent
years and we continue to work hard towards becoming a recognized water utility.
OVERVIEW OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Watersheds: Loch Lomond / Latimer Lake in the East; and Spruce Lake / Ludgate Lake,
augmented by East Musquash, in the West. Within these watersheds are ten (10) dams, as
well as the East Musquash Pump Station that moves water seasonally to Spruce Lake.
Drinking Water Treatment: a treatment facility East (Latimer Lake WTP) and one West
(Spruce Lake WTP) provide disinfection and fluoridation. Water is drawn into those
plants or directly into raw water transmission mains through five (5) raw water intakes.

CHARTING THE FUTURE DIRECTION
It is time to update our strategic direction for utility services; to set a course aligned fully
with Vision 2015. The strategy needs to clearly specify required service upgrades, secure
commitment to asset sustainability, and map out a positive, yet pragmatic financial plan.
It would be prudent to focus attention on several issues before setting the future course.
Safe, Clean Drinking Water Water is essential to life and good health; its quality must
be assured by reliable protective barriers and comply with all safety parameters -
delivered to consumers in a state that is clear, colourless, odourless and free of all
disease-causing micro-organisms (pathogens) or harmful chemicals. Upgrades are needed
to enable the City to assure safe, clean drinking water. The Action Plan for Safe, Clean
Drinking Water being prepared must weigh a series of complex considerations and
articulate a representation that is both compelling in terms of need and sound technically.
Saint John Harbour Clean-Up Harbour clean-up is about good health, economic
prosperity and quality of life; it's about a sustainable future. Weare not there yet; much
work remains. The demands are large, with several major construction projects, including
the Eastern Wastewater Treatment Facility (under environmental assessment) - the single
largest project ever undertaken by the City of Saint John. Engineering remains to be
completed and there are real challenges associated with acquiring access to needed lands.

Infrastructure Deficit Municipal infrastructure across Canada is at a "breaking point";
with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities highlighting an infrastructure deficie
affecting communities, large and small. FCM has called for special measures to address
this crisis; to set the course towards effective and sustainable management of these
invaluable public assets. Saint John has some of the oldest operable water infrastructure
in Canada; these systems need substantial investment.

Future Rates and Rate Structure Options A comprehensive study has been undertaken
to help clarify water and wastewater pricing policies; to assure system users that equity is
reflected in the user charges for these services. A rate system based on solid principles,
with logical structure and rate calculations, will be defendable in any public forum.
Consultants will be making recommendations on rates and how those rates should be
equitably structured over the utility's diverse customer classes. Preliminary indications
are that some fairly significant changes could be proposed. Those should be validated and
reviewed publicly with users before Council sets future By-Law rates for all customers.
Community/Customer Consultation Transformation will continue well into the future;
people need to be engaged in the change and challenge that will be the "order of the day".
Unresolved Rate Agreements The City of Saint John is quite unique in terms of its water
system and the high proportion of municipal water that goes to industry. Outstanding rate
"agreements" with the largest water users must be resolved in 2008 - before the utility
can move forward with any degree of clarity. Resources need to be dedicated to this.
Financial Management Plan for the Utility A financial model will guide policy and
major decisions, enhance the effectiveness of long-term planning, provide a context for
management of the utility, help maximize return on utility investments, and ensure the
public and other stakeholders understand how their money is being used. The cost of
upgrading to modern standards and achieving asset sustainability will be very high; the
plan must optimize available funding alternatives and achieve best value for ratepayers.
Service Refinement Water and wastewater services
will be next through the Vision 2015 service refinement
process. Timing for this is, in fact, ideal. Redefined
service profiles will outline service scope, value to the
community and organize key programs within each
service; with goals clearly set out, along with program
content, annual cost, and associated performance
objectives and measures. Management of these services
impacts directly on people and their quality of life.

PROPOSED 200S OPERATING BUDGET
The proposed Operating Budget, attached as Appendix "A", outlines the utility's
operating plan for 2008.
Expenditure Bud2et
Total proposed expenditures are $29,733,124, essentially the same as 2007. These cover
the costs projected for general operations, utility administration and the fiscal charges
associated with the utility's sizeable capital construction programs.
General Operating Expenses Anticipated operating costs for 2008 have increased
by 0.56% to $17,494,608. Reflected in this marginal increase are significant reductions in
several cost lines - to offset general inflationary trends in goods and services, special
funding of the utility's share of pension plan obligations (with $182,677 from ratepayers
and $118,880 recovered from employees), contractual obligations related to wages and
increased cost of employment benefits (from 21% to 24.5% of payroll). Every effort was
made to minimize negative impact on "capital from operating" under fiscal charges.

Fiscal Charges The impact of capital improvements, particularly in wastewater
(harbour clean-up) along with much needed renewal of aging infrastructure assets,
underlies utility fiscal charges. The $12,238,516 total (down 0.74%) is related directly to
funding of upgrades and securing the reliability of infrastructure. The financial
implications of another large capital program in 2008 will be felt in future budgets;
covered in the utility's long-term financial management plan.

Total Fiscal Charges

Infrastructure Deficit As important as the high profile wastewater upgrades
taking place and the planned drinking water enhancements is an urgent call for major
investment in renewal of aging infrastructure. Saint John has a serious deficit in its utility
infrastructure, something common to older cities across the country. It represents "the
total additional investment needed to repair and prevent deterioration in existing,
municipally owned infrastructure assets" 4. Significant for renewal funding are firm "pay
as you go" pledges in operating budgets; as a primary commitment each year. Otherwise,
it would be unrealistic to expect true value for money over the long term. "Capital from
operating" amounts under fiscal charges need to be maximized. Debt financing for
renewal-type (re)construction is patently unwise and, quite simply, not sustainable.
Revenue Bud2et
The proposed revenue schedule reflects the fact that several important policy questions
will come before Council in the coming months; matters ranging from an action plan for
safe, clean drinking water to possible changes in rates and rate structure. Council's
decisions will provide much needed clarity and a renewed direction; one that could see
several noteworthy changes. We believe, therefore, that it would be prudent to hold the
line for 2008 - to allow time for new policy directions to be presented publicly, discussed
with stakeholders, thoroughly analyzed with recommendations prepared, and a fair
opportunity for Council to weigh available options.
User-pay and balanced budgets are fundamental to water utility financing in New
Brunswick; "revenues in" cover "expenditures out". Total budgeted revenues for 2008
are projected at $29,733,124; a slight increase over 2007, as summarized in Table 3.

The underlying objective of all operating programs of Saint John Water is delivery of
safe, reliable, good quality water and wastewater services to the community, at
reasonable cost to ratepayers with expenses equitably allocated among customer classes.
SCADA A new, advanced SCADA (System Control And Data Acquisition) system
is being commissioned, with all utility sites operational by the end of January. The
SCADA will provide much improved monitoring, alarms, and control capabilities for
drinking water and sanitary sewer systems. It will make continuous on-line supervision of
certain water quality parameters possible; it will track water pressures, storage tank
levels, chlorinator operation, pump station operation, and other critical functions. The
investment in this upgrade and the tremendous contribution of many people has given
operators a level of information and control never previously possible.

Drinking Water Model Water systems are complex, multi-dimensional networks of
many interactive components; these must sometimes operate under extreme conditions
with infrastructure of uncertain reliability. Great care has to be taken to ensure the system
is operated safely, with assurance of reliable service delivery. Computer-based water
models have been researched and software options reviewed. System modeling will be
invaluable for planning operational shut downs, evaluating system expansion and
modifications, determining water age in the system, reviewing treatment and storage
options, organizing flushing sequences and preparing for maintenance shutdowns.
Westmorland Road Water Booster Station Improvements will include electrical system
replacement, new pumps and motors, and the installation of flexible pipe connections to
permit ground movement without damaging facility infrastructure.
Park Street Water Pumping Station An antiquated diesel pump will be replaced with a
new electrical generator; with the capability to power the entire station in the event of an
outage. Upgrades will improve several electrical components.
Morna Heights and Greenwood Wastewater Facilities These facilities, one in the
West and the other East, do not meet effluent discharge standards. While planned
upgrades to the trickling filter treatment processes are not expected to bring effluent
discharges into compliance with regulations, a better level of treatment needs to be
achieved and effluent quality raised. These interim improvements will allow operations to
continue while permanent treatment solutions are researched, planned and budgeted.
Service Profiles and Programs The three public services of Saint John Water
(drinking water, industrial water and wastewater) are being organized into new service
profiles through the Vision 2015 service refinement process. The formal adoption of
program methodology will help enhance management of service quality, scope, time and
costs. The systems approach focuses on planning, communication and reporting, with
clear objectives and performance measures.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) Strengthening of PM procedures at utility facilities
is an ongoing priority; designed to extend the useful life of equipment, ensure service
reliability and contribute to safer work environments. Only through high maintenance
standards can effective and efficient utilization of utility facilities be achieved.
Water Quality Sampling A full range of bacteriological, inorganic and organic tests
of the City's drinking water is undertaken in accordance with the sampling plan approved
by the Department of Health. Testing for trihalomethanes, for example, occurs quarterly
at points around the distribution system with the highest potential THM levels. Staff is
working to continually enhance testing methods and water quality reporting.
Energy Efficiency Saint John Water will continue to work with the City's Energy
Manager towards improving energy efficiency in our facilities and operations; potential
remains for reduction in the utility's energy bill.

Sewer Use By-Law / Standards Sewers can be seriously misused; from cooking fats
flushed down drains to heavy industrial effluents released into the system. Fats solidify
and clog up mains and manholes, cutting off normal sanitary flows. Vile industrial
effluents, which have no place in a sanitary system, can seriously upset biological
processes at treatment plants. Environmental obligations can be compromised and
approvals to operate violated. A sewer use by-law, based on a model developed by the
Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME), will be proposed to Council
- bringing with it much more rigorous standards and more costly fines for violators.
Uni-Directional Flushing Expansion of UDF across the water distribution system will
continue. The use of technology to plan flushing sequences and generate invaluable
system data will lead to more thorough cleaning of mains, reduced flushing times, less
wastage of water, more organized valve maintenance and fewer cloudy water problems.
Infrastructure and System Records Up-to-date and accurate records will continue to be
a high priority; eventually leading to the full digitization (automation) of utility mapping
(above and below ground) and data. Reliable knowledge of infrastructure location, type
and condition is vitally important for operations, particularly in emergencies, for planning
and engineering purposes, and for the safe sharing of rights-of-way.
Watersheds Diligent management of watersheds is a drinking water priority; the first
protective barrier for drinking water quality. Enforcing watershed protection standards,
installing safety features, monitoring activity, educating the public and dealing with
illegal dumping are part of the larger effort to ensure safe, clean drinking water.
PROPOSED 2008 WATER & SEWERAGE RATES
Concurrent with utility budget proposals each year are recommendations on the rates to
be charged for services. User-charges must cover operating costs and enable the service
obligations of the utility to be met: to protect the natural environment, to provide drinking
water that meets the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality, and to assure
reliability of the infrastructure upon which these services depend.
It is proposed that 2008 rates be held at 2007 levels; as such, no By-Law changes will be
needed.
01 Residential Rates The residential flat rate would remain at $696; a water
charge of $316.36 and a sanitary sewer charge of $379.64. The sewer charge is
120% of the water charge.
01 leI Metered Rates Rates for metered industrial-commercial-institutional
customers would remain as shown in Table 4, with no change from 2007.
Customers should expect, however, that rates will rise in the future; to cover operating
expenses and the lion's share of much needed capital investments in their utility.

PROPOSED 2008 CAPITAL BUDGET
Underlying the capital investments being proposed for 2008 are the utility's core
obligations to the public: safety of drinking water, the elimination of environmental
contamination and related public health consequences, and sustainable management of
infrastructure assets. Ever more rigorous regulatory standards are also making operations
much more demanding; recently highlighted in the Province's throne speech.
The proposed Capital Budget totals $45,035,000; with $24.1 million coming from other
government partners and just over $21 million from utility customers. The thirty-one (31)
projects being contemplated for 2008 are listed in Appendix "B"; all designed to address
the community's most pressing water and environmental needs. The public must
understand that these costly capital initiatives are improvements that must be made.

Project Mana2ement Capacity
A critical concern is capacity of professional engineering resources to manage this huge
capital construction program and the various design projects being undertaken; to protect
the substantial public investment and assure attainment of the City's objectives. Although
consulting firms will be extensively utilized, engineering resources are stretched beyond
a reasonable limit; one not sustainable over the long term. Where feasible, operations
managers have taken on capital projects and technical support staff is fully engaged.
It is our intention, with the blessing of Council, to engage needed professional staff (on a
permanent basis) to manage this large and very demanding workload. Positions would
not be added to the establishment, but people set against those filled by incumbents
expected to retire in the next five years or so. The cost of these human resources would
be charged directly to the capital projects for which they are responsible.
We believe that this mechanism will help meet today's critical needs and, at the same
time, help the organization prepare for its future and the impending surge in retirements.
2008 Capital Hi2hli2hts
Harbour Clean-Up - Wastewater Treatment Most notable, with the lion's share of
costs, are four projects related to Saint John Harbour Clean-Up, all fully cost-shared:
The Eastern Wastewater Treatment Facility and outfall extension (phase "A"),
estimated at $32,760,000 in 2008 (50% of overall project cost). The project
should soon complete environmental assessment.
Lift Station #4, near the Marco Polo Bridge, estimated at $5,910,000. The
central challenge with this project is land and right-of-way acquisition.
The Bayside Drive sanitary forcemain, estimated at $3,480,000, is also facing
land issues (that could delay progress).
The Spar Cove Road Lift Station (#22) has been fast tracked to coordinate
construction with the Brunswick Pipeline installation near the lift station site.
Safe, Clean Drinking Water Most significant among water projects for 2008 is funding
($450,000) for the water treatment preliminary design process; to understand exactly
what systems are needed to assure safe, clean drinking water. This is the foundation
phase; a key step in evaluation of both technical water treatment requirements (for our
particular raw water) and financing alternatives for these much needed upgrades.
Infrastructure Renewal Twenty-two (22) infrastructure renewal projects address
pressing customer service, safety and reliability concerns: 12 for water systems at an
estimated cost of$5,675,000 and 10 for sanitary infrastructure valued at $1,990,000.
