1. PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION
The Saint John Jeux Canada Games Foundation, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of New Brunswick as a 11011 -
profit organization and is registered as a Canadian amateur athletic association under the provisions of the Canadian
Income Tax Act. Its purpose is to fund training and development of amateur athletes in Canada.
2, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund Accounting
To observe the limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources, the accounts of The Saint John Jeux
Canada Games Foundation, Inc. are maintained in accordance with "fund accounting" principles.
Investments
Investments are carried at the lower of cost and market value. Investments denominated in U.S. dollars are
translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the date of purchase.
Capital Assets
The Foundation will capitalize all expenditures for items having an estimated useful life expectancy greater than one
year and at a cost greater than $500.
Unrestricted Capital
As decided by the Board of Governors, to permit future growth of the fund, realized capital gains (less capital losses)
will be retained in unrestricted capital. If accumulated realized losses exceed gains, the net accumulated loss will be
charged to unrestricted income.
Restricted Capital
This fund represents the surplus funds of $2,125,797 of The Saint John 1985 Canada Summer Games Society, Inc. -
La Societe Des Jeux D'Ete 1985 De Saint John, Inc. transferred to The Saint John Jeux Canada Games Foundation,
Inc. on December 1, 1986. Under the Letters Patent incorporating the Foundation, the capital of these surplus funds
was not to be spent for a period of ten years. Since the expiration of this ten -year period in 1996, the Board of
Directors have continued the restriction on the use of the capital, and in addition, have increased the restricted
amount to $3,000,000 in 2002.
Revenue Recognition
Investment income is recognized on an accrual basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and as adjustments
become necessary, they are reported in eamings in the period in which they become known.

Your Worship and Members of Common Council:
Vibrant Communities Saint John is very pleased to add our collective support to the
proposed integrated YMCA -YWCA and Canada Games Aquatic Centre facility and
program. The proposal is both visionary and practical at a time when our community strives
for excellence in community service while adhering to tight fiscal parameters.
Vibrant Communities, in its short history, is testament to how community partnerships can
strive to achieve bigger goals for community well-being and gain greater efficiencies through
a larger talent pool willing to share resources and responsibilities. We believe the proposed
partnership of the YMCA -YWCA, Canada Games Aquatic Centre Commission and the City
will strengthen the respective lead organizations and result in a win -win for the community.
Both the YMCA -YWCA and the City have a long history of serving the population we are
particularly concerned about ... our community's youngest and poorest. The proposal
ensures the sustainability of current community programs while offering opportunity for a
broader and deeper reach to those most in need of these vital community resources.
Vibrant Communities Saint John is a partnership of local leaders from the 4 sectors:
business, governments, community organizations and people living in poverty. Our 10 year
goal is to engage the community in focused strategies that will significantly reduce poverty in
Saint John from its current rate of 24.5% to the national average of 15 %. Realizing the goal
means 6000 people will have left poverty behind them. Vibrant Communities depends on
organizational change, such as the proposal you are reviewing, to help Saint John achieve
this goal and TRUE GROWTH.
Yours truly(

Your Worship & Councilors:
`.
I am writing on behalf of the Martha Guild Volunteer Group for St. Pius X Parish in grave concern
over the traffic lights situated at the top of Somerset Street in front of the Church. Along with our week day
and weekend masses, many functions and activities are held at the church and we have witnessed numerous
"close calls" with motorists not heeding to the amber flashing light. It is the only set of RA5 lights in this
city and we realize it is the standard for crosswalk procedures; however, they are totally ineffective.
We have noticed in the last year a couple of new pedestrian lights have been installed. One at the
corner of Union & Wentworth Streets and just recently, a set at Chesley Drive by the Ocean Steel Plant on
Chesley Drive. Also, on Rothesay Avenue there are 2 sets of Red, Amber, Green lights; a set at Russell and
Broadway and Rothesay Ave & Tim Street. City Road and Stanley Streets also have a set and all are proving
to be most effective
It happens too many times on Somerset Street, that when the lights are activated, if the center lane
traffic stops, the cars corning up on the outside lane do not slow down, let alone stop. This results in
pedestrians being sandwiched in the middle of the street not knowing what to do. This set of lights must be
replaced with ones that have proven to work and they are the Green, Amber and Red.
We realize that budgets are tight therefore would like to enter the possibility of cost sharing to ensure
the safety of pedestrians and motorists at the top of Somerset Street. Something has to be done "now" to
prevent an inevitable fatality.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
M & C — 2006 -56
March 9, 2006
His Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane and
Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Construction of New Water Pipeline
Easement Acquisitions - 80 -120 McDonald Street
BACKGROUND:
City of
Included in this year's Capital Program for Water and Sewer Utility Fund is the
City's desire to improve the quality and flow of water in the Bellevue Street area,
located to the rear of Loch Lomond Mall. Both Bellevue and Virginia Streets dead -
end adjacent to the Mall property, resulting in stagnant water to the City's municipal
water lines.
ANALYSIS:
The City proposes to connect the two existing water lines located within these two
streets, allowing a better flow and water quality. In order to proceed with this
project, the City requires a 6 metre (20 foot) wide easement, totalling approximately
750 square metres (8,073 square feet) over PID Numbers 345124, 55032411,
55032403, 55032395 and 55065197 (see attached map).
In addition, the City wishes to acquire the privately owned water line that runs from
Courtenay Avenue along the rear of the Loch Lomond Mall property, which also
dead -ends. It is the City's intention to extend this water line to connect with the
proposed loop system described above. A new 6.0 metre (20 foot) wide easement
for municipal services will be required, occupying a total area of an approximately
1,575 square metre (16,954 square feet) portion of PID number 322891, as generally
shown on an attached plan. Once the private water line is acquired, it would become
the City's responsibility to operate and maintain.
The total easements required for this project is approximately 2,325 square metres
(25,027 square feet). Real Estate Services have negotiated with the owner of the
Report to Common Council
March 9, 2006
land, Crombie Developments Limited, to grant the above noted easements to install
these new lines and transfer the privately owned water line to the City.
The purpose of this report is to seek Council's support to secure the necessary
easements for this project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That The City of Saint John acquire an easement for municipal
services /municipal services easement in the amount of approximately 750
square metres f (8,073 square feet), being a portion of PID Numbers 345124,
55032411, 55032403, 55032395 and 55065197; and acquire ownership of an
existing water line including a municipal services easement/easement for
municipal services of approximately 1,575 square metres :L (16,954 square
feet), being a portion of PID Number 322891 from Crombie Developments
Limited, all as generally shown on attached plans.
The City of Saint John offers as payment and compensation for the above, the
sum of $1.00 plus H.S.T. (if applicable). As part of the transaction the City
shall:
a) prepare and pay for any plan of survey required;
b) continue to operate and maintain the existing water line contained on
PID Number 322891;
c) where applicable, reinstate the subject property to a condition that
existed prior to construction; and
d) pay to a maximum of $500.00 (plus HST) the legal costs incurred by
Crombie Developments Limited and any applicable processing fees
from financial institutions and all registration fees necessary to
finalize the transaction; and
e) that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to sign any
documents required to formalize this transaction.
2. That Common Council assent to the required public utility easements.

SAINT JOHN POLICE FORCE
2006 BUDGET
INTRODUCTION
71
The purpose of this Report is to present background and a
context for the 2006 Saint John Police Force Operating Budget.
A Capital Budget for 2006 will be submitted in the near future,
and a five year Capital Budget will be developed as part of the
Force Strategic Planning process.
The Board of Police Commissioners and the Police Force are
conscientious in developing a responsible budget ...while delivering
effective, efficient and economic public safety services in our
community. We look to `best practices' in the private and public
sectors when developing our programs, processes and systems;
initiatives include benchmarking, strategic planning, governance
and accountability, environmental scanning, program audit and
process improvement, public consultation and partnerships, and
performance management. In developing an annual budget we
also reflect stakeholder interests and observations — such as the
concerns expressed at the numerous Town Hall meetings hosted
by Common Council — and we align the Force budget and programs
with the broader community goals articulated by Common Council
in the VISION 2015 statement.
While this report has been prepared in response to the annual City
budget process, the information presented is central to the normal
strategic, administrative and operational processes of the Saint
John Police Force (SJPF). Processes to create, analyze and act
upon this information are part of our emphasis on efficiency,
service value and continuous improvement, and our commitment
to understanding and satisfying the community's public safety needs.
ROLE OF THE POLICE BOARD
The Saint John Board of Police Commissioners has a
responsibility under the Police Act to "provide and maintain an
adequate police force ...and comply with the provisions of any
collective agreement to which it is party' and to advise Common
Council accordingly, so that the municipality can "budget the
necessary money to enable the Board to provide and maintain
an adequate police force." In determining what constitutes an
adequate police force the Board (in consultation with the Chief
of Police) has established priorities and objectives, and has
i
developed policies and programs in accordance with the Police Act
and best practices in policing.
The Board is of the opinion that the proposed budget reflects the
amount required to continue to provide and maintain a modem
and progressive police force, and to comply with provisions of the
Collective Agreement, as required under the Police Act (sections
7(1,1), 7(2), 10(4)). The Board has been very thorough; exercising
due diligence and reflecting best practices in its review of Police
operations in order to define opportunities for best value.

The 'Broken Windows Theory' is a proven and generally well -
accepted approach to crime reduction and crime prevention.
"First expressed by political scientist James Q. Wilson and
criminologist George Kelling in an article for The Atlantic
Monthly in 1982, the theory holds that if someone breaks a
window in a building and it is not quickly repaired, others will be
emboldened to break more windows. Eventually, the broken
windows create a sense of disorder that attracts criminals, who
thrive in conditions of public apathy and neglect.
r6o !777
The theory was based on an experiment conducted 26 years ago
by Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo. He took ttw
identical cars, placing one on a street in a midd"ss Palo Alto
neighborhood and the otherin a tougherneighborhooq in the Bronx.
The car in the Bronx, which had no license plate an it and was
parked wilt its hood up, was stepped within a day. The car in Palo
Alto sat untouched for a week, unfil Zimbando smashed one of its
windows with a sledgehammer.
Within a few hours, it was stripped.
According to Wilson, a professor of public policy at UCLA, "There
are two sources of disorder, offenders and physical disorder. (Both]
lead people to believe the neighborhood is run down. The central
problem for police is to take the small signs of disorder seriously
and deal wilt t hem. That could be dealing wiM small -time offenders,
ordealing with physical disorder, orsome combination ofboth.=a

PUBLIC SERVICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY
The Saint John Police Force is `in the public safety business'.
Police service is comprehensive, complex and dynamic. The
main activities of policing are: Crime Prevention Emergency

cultural trends, intelligence-led policing, the evolving nature of
crimes (such as computer - related crimes), crime rate trends, the
burden of disclosure requirements, and the pressure to enhance
police presence and visibility — they all influence the administration
of policing. In some cases, they may increase the costs of police
services. In other cases they may simply mean that we manage

The Saint John Police Force must be positioned ito assume the
local role in managing these trends and challenges.
The Force responds to community expectations of public safety using
the current service delivery model and subject to the resources
available. We continue to explore means to delver policing in a more
efficient and more effective fashion, but such improvements are
incremental and long -term. Current trends and challenges illustrate a
need to enhance our capacity to respond to a diverse collection of
concerns. The 2006 Operating budget reflects the resources required
to continue meeting community public safety expectations. In the
absence of additional funds, emerging policing issues can only be
accommodated at the expense of existing policing programs.
ResouRcES & CnrAciTy
The Police Force has been reduced from 191 t 160 officers

midi99os. results. Due diligence, and regard for officer and public safety,
dictate that the Force cannot accommodate resource reductions
— or significant increase in service demand without a complementary
increase in resources — in consecutive years.
Past reductions in Police budget have been compounded by a
greater crime rate, and increases in the costs and time required
to respond, investigate, document, disclose and process each
case file. These amplified requirements are prompted by the
Courts and case law, legislation and regulations, evidence
handling, and public and officer safety. Compliance is not optional.
Providing police services at the level offered during the 1980s
and earlier, when crime rates were as much as 40% lower, would
require restoring the Force to 191 officers (31 additi nal officers).
This is perhaps an unreasonable expectation (boi in terms of
crime rate and additional resources), but it does illustrate: (i) that
the Force has too few police officers, (h) that public expectations
have been effectively managed within the limitations imposed,
and (iii) that the nature of our police service has charged and will
continue to do so.
Partnerships with other public safety agencies arei an effective
means of stretching SJPF resources; the Fundy Integrated
Intelligence Unit (FIIU) — a multi - agency initiative to! share in the

Saint John area — is a particularly successful model of partnerships
with other public safety agencies. Joint ventures with business
partners have also proven very successful; our Community Police
Offices are an example of coordination with private-sector funding
partners to satisfy their interest in corporate investment in
community social development and public safety, while
enhancing Police Force access to resources.
Civilian members play a key role in a modem police, service. They
bring special skill sets and often task-specific experience to the job.
Civilian positions tend to represent 'value for money: in the staffing
avlianposkiow of non -police positions (that is, positions that do not require the
mWn3hethe exercise of police powers), and they are a ford multiplier —
bene%of
spedaRWAM& increasing the effectiveness of swom members. While the Saint
John Police Force has utilized civilians to the extent currently
possible, municipal police services operating in other Canadian
cities tend to have proportionally almost three times a$ many civilian
members as the Saint John Police Force (which currently has 26
civilian staff). Future opportunities to engage civilian ispecialists will
be examined as they arise.
The Force continues to advance technology solutions that
facilitate efficiency and effectiveness in policing. The 'Mobility'
program — wireless notebook computers in police vehicles — is a
technology enhancement with far - reaching consequences. It
will facilitate greater efficiency and effectiveness, reate greater
capacity to support officers at the street level, nd increase
officer safety. The Mobility Project is currentl entering a
three month pilot phase, which will position the technology
for effective Force -wide deployment in 2006 and' afterward.
Similarly, the new police headquarters project ',will facilitate
greater efficiency and effectiveness, enhanced security, greater
officer and victim safety, and improved communication and
work -flow. A number of consultant studies have verified the
merits of moving to a new police facility. Coordinated
development of the Police Headquarters with the neighboring
Justice (courts) facility will also improve efficiency for both.
Policing is complex, demanding, stressful work. Commitment to
community has caused our members to intensify their efforts, to
shoulder additional responsibilities, and to be creative in seeking
efficiencies. In spite of this, there is a sense that We are losing
ground: the crime rate statistics speak to this. It creates workplace
stress and affects officer safety. Budget limitations force us to use
reactive, short term solutions not always consistent wit policing best
practices. There is increasingly a 'disconnect between our Vision and
Values, and our actual practices. This is not sustainable. We are
committed to refocusing on our Vision and Values, and reinforcing 1
our emphasis on best practices. IN
New in 2006 and 2007 is the creation of a SJPF Community /
Response Unit, and two additional members in the Community 1
Services Unit (Community Policing), to address concerns in
vulnerable neighborhoods. This is a service we hav been unable /
to effectively provide based on existing resources. /
1
COMMUNITY RESPONSE UNIT
There is need for a new unit in the Saint John Police Force
dedicated to address law enforcement (directed poling), physical /
environment (CPTED - situational prevention ) and social
development concerns in vulnerable neighbourhoods. Vulnerable 1
neighbourhoods include the Old North End, Crescent Valley,
deep South End, Lower West Side and others identified through 1
periodic environmental scan and analysis.
FINDINGS FROM THE Tom v HALL MEETINGS
Community interest in a greater police presence was expressed
repeatedly at the Town Hall meetings hosted by Common
Council. The City Manager noted in his October 00, 2005 report
to Council "...as the individual resident walks out'' is front door
he or she wants to ...see a police officer, F..have quiet
enjoyment of a clean and green neighbourhood; ',..be assured
that their investment is safeguarded from the activities next
door, and have municipal government acknowledge their
neighbourhood'. Concerns expressed at the Town iHall meetings
include:
■ crime and the need for greater police presence;
• drug trafficking;
• vandalism;
• graffiti;
• panhandling;
• the sex trade;
• discarded needles in public places;
• damage to school property and playgrounds;
• ATVs and damage to property;
• ensuring that the neighbourhood is a safe place to live;
• truck traffic;
• speeding vehicles;
• illegal dumping;
• enforcement of the noise by -law.
The City Manager also observes that creatir a resource
dedicated to resolving the crime prevention and social disorder
needs of vulnerable communities is timely; "Staff cannot ignore
the fact that the Commission did request Council to consider
providing additional funding to engage four more officers in each
of the next three years. Unfortunately, Council, because of other
financial commitments was unable to meet this request. Having
said this, the request from the Commission along with the
various town hall meetings has increased the level of sensitivity
to the need."
COMMUNITY RESPONSE UNIT PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
The objective is to implement a Saint John j Police Force
Community Response Unit (CRU) of ten membiers (over two
years) to establish a partnership with citizens, and other
stakeholders and agencies; to provide focused I resources to
tackle local neighbourhood crime, quality of life, and disorder
issues; and to reduce the number of repeat Oils for local
neighbourhood and community issues. An additio al two officers
will be added to the Community Services Unit, to rther support
and complement the work of the CRU. The Commu ity Response
Unit will operate on a 'Broken Windows Theory' approach to
crime prevention and crime reduction ... reduc g the visible
environmental and social signs that crime and s cial disorder
are tolerated in the community; and will create la Culture of
Crime Prevention, through high visibility police int rvention and
enforcement. The Unit will be tasked with sponding to
problems as they arise, and identifying and de ling with the
underlying causes of the problems. In respondi g to current
crime and social disorder concerns, the CRU c eates social
conditions that will reduce the likelihood of child n and youth
engaging in criminal activity later in life (the Cri (e Prevention
Through Social Development approach.)
STRUCTURE OF THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE UNIT
A total of twelve sworn members will be added to the SJPF
establishment — seven in 2006 and five in 2007 — to accommodate
committing;
two additional community officers (in 2006) assigned to
the Community Services Unit (Community Policing) and
dedicated to the Crescent Valley and deep South End
neighbourhoods; and
one supervisor /sergeant and four constables from Patrol
Division assigned to the Community Response Unit in 2006.
The Unit supports Platoons in the Patrol Division ... ducing the
frustration and workload associated with repe t calls to
locations and neighbourhoods. On a directed polici g basis, the
CRU program will include a visible presence patrolling ulnerable
neighbourhoods and problem areas such as recreation fields and
parks (Shamrock, Dominion Park, Tucker Park), and will include a
greater level of traffic enforcement with respect to issues such as
speeding, stolen vehicles, ATVs, unlicensed drivers, vehicle
insurance and registration, truck traffic, and vehicle noise.
The Community Response Unit program will c mmence by
October of 2006; the first year funding to be pro -rate accordingly.
A Community Response Unit program framework and detailed
program will be finalized in the first half of 2006.
The CRU
program
will be evaluated for effe
iveness and
continued
relevance
every three years. EffectwAlLness
will be
measured
not only
by law enforcement data
ut also with
community
surveys.
Performance measures are'
reduction of
repeat calls for local
neighbourhood and community issues, and
community
satisfaction.
PROPOSED 2006 SJPF OPERATING BUDGET
The following table (p. 12) illustrates the 2006 Sairjt John Police
Force Operating Budget.
It is the opinion of the Chief of Police that the propose Police Force
operating budget is sufficient to satisfy the current public safety
expectations of the community. To accomplish this, is frequently
necessary to assess trends, patterns and issue to develop
strategies in response; and to assign resources accordingly. The
Chief will continue to make operational decisions respecting
programs and services, based on a comprehensive and on -going
assessment of risks and consequences. As a principle, resources
will be reduced if necessary in those areas which least impact core
businesses and service to the community, and will be re- assigned
to those priority areas requiring additional resources. We have
heard from the community through consultations and at events such
as the Town Hall meetings, and have proposed a programmed
response. In the absence of the requested additional resources, we
will be unable to respond in a directed, sustained and effective
fashion.
The significant changes in the 2006 budget relat primarily to
salaries and benefits, and there is a slight overall in rease in the
Goods and Services section of the budget to addr ss projected
inflationary increases for telephones, insurance, and fleet fuel.
The employer signed a new 2 % year collective ag eement with
Local 61 on August 24, 2005 and the negotiated ettlement for
2005 and 2006 is slightly greater than 3 %. oweverI the

Type of Application:
Rezoning.
JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to
Common Council concerning proposed rezoning applications. The Committee's recommendation
will be considered by Common Council at a Public Hearing on Monday, March 13, 2006.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
That Common Council rezone the parcel of land located at 411 Cushing Street, also identified as
PID number 00384784, from "R -1B" One Family Residential to "R -2" One and Two Family
Residential to recognize the existing use of the property as a two - family dwelling.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Municipal Operations and Engineering has no objections to the proposed rezoning.
Building and Technical Services advises that approval of the property as a 2 -unit dwelling will
require an inspection of the property to verify Building Code compliance.
Saint John Energy has no objections to the proposed rezoning.
Fire Department does not identify any concerns with the proposal.
ANALYSIS:
The subject site is located on the City's West Side, near the corner of Cushing Street and Tilton
Avenue. According to the applicants, they purchased the property in 1987 as a two - family
dwelling and it had been used as such for a number of years prior to their acquisition of the lot.
The applicants are currently in the process of selling the property and during discussions with the
intended purchaser it was discovered that the property was not zoned to allow a two - family
dwelling as a main use. Consequently, the applicants have submitted a request to rezone the site
to "R -2 " One and Two Family Residential in order to recognize the existing use. The purpose of
the rezoning is to resolve the conflict between the actual use of the property and the zoning of the
site. No other changes are proposed.
The Planning and Development Department's files, which go back to 1979, do not contain any
information to indicate when the building on the site became a two - family dwelling although the
building itself appears to have existed for some time. It is worth noting that the tax assessment
data lists the property as a "2- Family House & Lot ".
The subject site is located in the midst of a residential neighbourhood comprised mainly of one-
and two - family dwellings, while some three - family dwellings are in the vicinity, primarily on
Havelock Street. The use of the property as a two - family dwelling does not appear to have
created any problems and there are no recorded complaints about it and there is one parking space
for each of the dwelling units. Therefore approval of the proposed rezoning to recognize the
existing use can be recommended.

SUBJECT:
Name of Applicant: Hughes Surveys & Consultants Inc. (on behalf of ONE
Change Inc.)
Name of Owner: ONE Change Inc. and City of Saint John
Location: 217 -225 Victoria Street
PID: 375956 and 375964
Municipal Plan: Medium Density Residential
Zoning: Existing: "RM -1 " Three Storey Multiple Residential
and "RM -2" High Rise Multiple Residential

Type of Application: Rezoning and Variances, as follows:

whereas the Zoning By -law requires a minimum
landscaped side yard of 3 metres (10 feet);

metre (3.3 feet) from the right side lot line, whereas
the Zoning By -law requires a minimum landscaped
side yard of 3 metres (10 feet).
JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to
Common Council concerning proposed amendments to the Zoning By -law. Common Council will
consider the Committee's recommendation at a public hearing on Monday, March 13, 2006.
The Act also authorizes the Committee to grant reasonable variances from the requirements of the
Zoning By -law. Conditions can be imposed by the Committee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
That Common Council rezone a parcel of land located at 217 -225 Victoria Street, having an
area of approximately 450 square metres, also identified as being PID No. 00375956 and
00375964, from "RM -1" Three Storey Multiple Residential and "RM -2" High Rise Multiple

2. That, pursuant to the provisions of Section 39 of the Community Planning Act, the proposed
development of a parcel of land located at 217 -225 Victoria Street, having an area of

with a community policing satellite office and community outreach office be subject to the
condition that the site is developed in accordance with a detailed site plan and building
elevation plans, prepared by the proponent and subject to the approval of the Development
Officer, and further that upon the rezoning of the parcel, the land and any building or structure
thereon must be developed and used in conformity with the proposal and condition identified
herein.
3. That the Planning Advisory Committee grant the requested variances to permit the proposed
building to be constructed with a landscaped side yard setback of 2 metres (6.5 feet) adjacent
to 213 -215 Victoria Street, and to permit the proposed driveway with a landscaped setback of
1 metre (3.3 feet) from 227 Victoria Street, on condition that a privacy fence with a minimum
height of 1.5 metres (5 feet) is constructed and maintained along the property line adjacent to
227 Victoria Street.
BACKGROUND:
On November 1, 2005, the Committee considered a proposal to re- establish and change a non-
conforming use in the then - existing building at 223 -225 Victoria Street. The specific proposal was
to convert the use of the building (a former non - conforming convenience store) to a community
policing office for the Saint John Police Force, in conjunction with an outreach office for ONE
Change Inc. The proposal was approved by the Committee and work was subsequently started
on the conversion. However, during renovations to the building, it fell victim to arson and has
since been demolished.
On February 13, 2006, Common Council resolved to make a grant to the applicant of the freehold
title to the property at 217 Victoria Street (which forms a portion of the subject site), pending
rezoning of the property.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Municipal Operations and Engineering supports the application.
Building and Technical Services has no concerns, provided that the two parcels are
consolidated into a single lot.
Saint John Transit advises that there is significant bus service along Adelaide Street, and the
subject site is very well serviced by bus.
Saint John Energy advises that it has overhead facilities in the area. An extension of facilities
may be required to service the proposed project and this would be at the developer's cost. Saint
John Energy has no objection to the proposal.
Aliant Telecom has no objection. Any facilities issues will be coordinated jointly with Saint John
Energy.
Fire Department has no objection.
Saint John Police Force supports the proposal.
School District 8 has submitted no comments.
ANALYSIS:
The subject property is located on Victoria Street, near the intersection of Adelaide Street, in the
City's Old North End, as illustrated on the attached map. This is a mixed neighbourhood of
mainly older multiple - family dwellings, with some commercial uses located on Adelaide Street.
The North End Community Centre and Lorne Middle School are also located nearby, on Victoria
and Newman Streets, respectively. The pattern and density of development in the area is typical
of the older residential neighbourhoods of the City, with buildings located close to the sidewalk
and occupying the majority of the lots' frontages. Off - street parking, if any, is typically located in
driveways to one side of the building and/or in the rear yards.
The site is comprised of two small lots, one owned by the applicant and the other by the City.
Together, these two lots provide a frontage of approximately 16 metres (53 feet) on Victoria
Street and a total area of approximately 450 square metres (4,800 square feet). The site is
currently vacant.
The applicant proposes to construct a community policing satellite office and community outreach
office at the above -noted property. The proposed building would be two storeys in height with a
total floor space of approximately 160 square metres (1,720 square feet), or approximately 80
square metres (860 square feet) on each of the two levels. The space would include office,
meeting room and programming space for the Saint John Police Force's community police office
as well as headquarters for the ONE Change group, a non -profit corporation whose purpose is to
facilitate community improvement activities and initiatives in the Old North End neighbourhood.
A preliminary site plan of the proposed development is attached. It shows the building to be
constructed close to the sidewalk, which is consistent with the typical pattern of development in
the Old North End. A driveway on one side of the building leads to three parking spaces in the
rear yard (the Zoning By -law requires a minimum of three spaces.) A 1.8 -metre (6 -foot) high
privacy fence is proposed along the property line abutting the driveway.
An elevation drawing of the front of the building has also been submitted. However, the applicant
is currently working with an architect to refine this plan so that it incorporates design features that
will provide better contextual compatibility with the character of the traditional building stock in
the Old North End neighbourhood.
The subject site is currently zoned "RM -2" High Rise Multiple Residential and "RM -1" Three
Storey Multiple Residential. The applicant has requested that the site be rezoned to "B -2"
General Business in order to permit the proposal. The proposed site development also requires
Planning Advisory Committee's consideration of variances from the requirements of the Zoning
By -law with respect to side yard setbacks of the building and driveway, as noted on page 1 -2 of
this report.
The Committee and staff previously supported the proposal to convert the former convenience
store building for the proposed use. The proposal continues to be supported as a positive
initiative for the North End. The requested variances are minor in nature and compatible with the
pattern of development in this neighbourhood. Approval can be recommended, subject to a
Section 39 resolution limiting the use to the applicant's proposal and requiring the submission of
detailed site and building elevation plans for the Development Officer's approval. In addition, it is
recommended that the variance for driveway setback be conditional upon the installation of a
privacy fence along the easterly lot line as proposed by the applicant.

March 7d', 2006
Your Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane and Members of Common Council,
Re: Report to Common Council regarding attendance at the Canadian Nuclear
Association Conference (Feb 2006 in Ottawa). This trip is related to the Energy
portfolio.
The report includes information related to the Canadian Association ofNuclear Host Communities (1 am
the City of Saint John's member representative) and Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. Including an
update on hosting, in Saint John, the 2007 Canadian Nuclear Society National Conference.
I recently attended the Canadian Nuclear Association Conference were I was able to
participate as Common Council's representative on the Canadian Association of Nuclear
Host Communities. I have provided a copy of the minutes of Feb 231d, 2006 in Ottawa to
members of Council in their "Information to Common Council" brief.
Outcomes of the meeting included two resolutions that were past at this particular
CANHC meeting in Ottawa. Each member of CANHC has been asked to consider these
resolutions from their municipal perspective [this is in relation to each member
municipality]; the attached resolutions have been provided for our Council to consider
(See information to Common council brief appendix A and B in your council package).
These resolutions could be brought forward for Common Council to consider at an open
session meeting. I will allow each member to determine and interpret the local relevance.
Each Municipality with a Nuclear Power plant in their back yard has unique relationships.
The relationship differences include; variances in property tax, variance in property
location [as to whether it is in the property limits of the municipality], what factors effect
Nuclear waste management in relation to the NWMO, how taxes are calculated and what
are the differences in tax revenues that are funneled back to communities. With that said,
there are several similarities that are not bound by municipal property borders or separate
from federal legislation. The CANHC will help, through its combined municipal effort,
to understand these issues.
I was able to make significant `in roads" to hosting the 2007 Canadian Nuclear Society
Conference in Saint John. I will have formal verification to this request by the end of
March 2006.
i also attended a portion of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's meeting (Power
Plants and Medical facilities) explaining the licensing process for existing Nuclear
Facilities and information related to the evolving process in respect to licensing standards
for New Nuclear Facilities. This process has evolved over 25 years (there are new
standards). My understanding in respect to New Builds, regulatory requirements will be
developed as proposals are received.
The CNSC imposes a high standard that must be sustained and improved. These high
standards, described in their briefing notes, include high standards for health, safety,
security, and environmental protection. Efforts are focused internationally to ensure
High Standards are implemented world wide.
One conference highlight described the importance of balancing future energy needs with
environmental improvements. This key note address was provided by Doctor Patrick
Moore (co- founder of Green Peace and Chairman and Chief Scientist Green spirit
Strategies) his address was related to new technology development, renewable energy
sources, and timely sustainable advancements that meet energy needs and address the
environment in the short and long term.
Be it resolved, this information be received and filed.

Please find attached information regarding Rotary's Teen Resource Centre project.
I am requesting support for the following resolution.
That the City of Saint John grant the Rotary TRC campaign all municipal fees
(Building permits, plumbing permits, and Permits for Municipal Services)
associated with this project.
This would be a real and tangible investment in the well being of the youth of our
City. It is my understanding that no money is required to change hands but the value
of the fees will have a significant and positive impact on the project.

In Greater Saint John we have various charities working to improve our community,
but there is one group that is being ignored and in danger of slipping through the cracks,
our youth. They are the future workers, parents and leaders of our community and they
need our help. Did you know that in Saint John: I in 3 youth five in poverty; 309 students
dropped out of high school in 01102 and that $920,000.00 was spent to jail Saint John
youth.
The Rotary Club of Saint John is doing something about it. We are spear - heading a
$1,500,000.00 Fundraising Campaign to help our youth. Our plans includes the completed
purchase of the vacant St. Joseph's School on 28 Richmond Street in uptown Saint John, its
renovation and the organization of a centre that will help our youth/our children with; health
services, self - development programs, work readiness programs and life skills.
But it won't happen without your help! The ultimate success of this capital campaign will
depend on the commitment and support of responsible corporate citizens and concerned
members of the community like you. As such, we ask you to consider a donation of
$ .00 to our campaign.
While we are well aware that this is no small request, we are also confident that you can
appreciate the importance to our community. We sincerely hope that we can count on your
generous support... for the sake of our youth.

Message from Lino Celeste

M t.mfn• ��Jr�
The Resource Centre for Youth (TRC) project was initiated in 1998 by a group of community
agencies, business leaders, government service providers and youth who were concerned
about young people and how Saint John was providing for youth at risk within our
community.
Statistics show that in Saint John, l in 3 youth are living in poverty,
we also have the highest rate of poverty, over $900,000 was spent
to jail our youth and over 800 youth between the ages of 16 and
24 are living on Social Assistance. This clearly demonstrates why
the TRC plays a critical role in meeting the needs for our
community.
The vision for the TRC is simple, provide one stop shopping for
youth in Saint John, between the ages of 12 to 24 where they
can access Health Services, Self Development programs, Life
Skill Programs, Work Readiness Initiatives, in addition to Recreation
and Community Services.
Through the expansion of the facility the TRC can provide greater opportunities for youth,
growth in the essential programs, integrate and strengthen existing programs and hopefully
reduce the number of youth at risk within our community.
I fully support this initiative and The Rotary Club of Saint John's effort to raise the funds needed
to make the Vision of the TRC become a reality. I can think of no better way to help the young
people in our community. It is my hope that you share my thoughts and will generously support
this campaign.

Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Fellow Councillors,
Re: Saint John Transit — MRIF Application
Please find attached information regarding Saint John Transit's funding application
to the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund for a diesel electric model (hybrid) bus.
The objective is to meet the demand for public transportation, decrease the wear and
tear on city infrastructure, become more environmentally friendly and meet the
needs of our growing student population. The results will be increased ridership,
cleaner air and an alternative to traveling by car. In fact, one bus can replace 40
parking spaces and the greenhouse gas emissions from 40 cars.
The cost of the bus, net of taxes, is $682,287. The funding proposal would secure
$454,858 from the MRIF program and require a City contribution of $227,429 or
just 1/3 of the cost of the vehicle.
As the MRIF application must be supported by a motion of Council, I am requesting
Council's support for the following motion.
The Common Council of the City of Saint John supports the application of Saint
John Transit to the MRIF program for $454,858 in funding for the purchase of a
diesel electric bus.

Introduction
GENERAL INFORMATION
PROJECT NAME:
Addition To Saint John Transit Rolling Stock
INITIATED BY:
The Saint John Transit Commission
LOCATION:
Saint John, New Brunswick

2 — Project Business Case
1- Project Description - Abstract
PROJECT DESCRIPTION -ABSTRACT
Saint John Transit has the largest ridership of all transit systems operating in New Brunswick, accounting for 54
percent of all transit riders in the province. Most of its operating costs come from the fare box as its subsidies are low.
Its rolling stock is old, on average 13 years. Old buses are less fuel efficient and produce more GHGs.
Demand for transit in the city is growing. The student population at UNB Saint John is growing as are the number of
immigrants coming to the area. There is a need for better, more frequent service.
Saint John Transit would like to receive funding from the MRIF to add a diesel electric hybrid bus to its rolling stock to
better serve the population of Saint John in an environmentally friendly manner. This would be the first hybrid in the
province.
2- Project Rationale
PROJECT RATIONALE
Saint John Transit currently has 19 routes covering over 350 km of city streets. With 2.5 million
passengers, the city's transit authority has a 50 % higher ridership than any other same size city
in Canada. New Routes are required. New buses are needed to meet the increasing demand.
The continued growth in immigration within the business and academic communities is putting a
strain on providing a basic municipal service. The need to provide this basic municipal service is
important to the Growth Strategy of Saint John. The city has identified immigration as a key
priority to its continued economical renewal. The influx of different cultures to the city provides an
increase in cultural, recreation and tourism activities.
Additionally as the city continues to expand its waterfront, increase its commercial and residential
opportunities in the uptown area, the ability to lessen traffic congestion and alleviate the need to
destroy green space for parking will become greater. One commuter travelling by bus replaces 40
cars on the city roads and highways and 40 parking spaces.
In addition to needing more buses, Saint John Transit buses are old. The majority of its fleet is 13
years old almost twice the industry's average age of 9 years. The oldest bus is 29 years old.
These buses due to age are not environmentally friendly, and are difficult and costly to maintain.
Project Business Case Guideline — 3
3- Detailed description of the Proj ect
3.1- WHAT IS YOUR PROJECT?
What is your project?
Saint John Transit is requesting funding for a diesel electrical model (hybrid) bus. The objective is
to meet the demand for public transportation, decrease the wear and tear on city infrastructure,
become more environmentally friendly and meet the needs of our growing international and
academic communities. The results will be increase ridership, cleaner air and an alternative to
travelling by car. One bus can replace 40 parking spaces and the greenhouse gas emissions
from 40 cars.
3.2- HOW DOES IT ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS STATED IN SECTION
2. "PROJECT RATIONALE'?
How does it address the problems stated in section 2. "Project rationale "?
Funding for a new bus will:
• meet the increasing demand for public transportation
• reduce the GHG emissions from 40 cars
• reduce the wear and tear on our existing infrastructure (roads and highways)
• reduce the need for more concrete parking garages
• encourage residents to choose public transportation (by providing access)
• aid in the growth of the city by meeting the needs of the city's new international
immigrants and increasing student population (as stated in Saint John's Growth
Strategy)
3.3- DESCRIBE THE LOCATION WHERE THE PROJECT WILL TAKE
PLACE?
4 — Project Business Case
Describe the location where the project will take place?
The bus will be driven on Saint John city maintained roads. Saint John Transit currently has 19
routes covering over 350 km of city streets. Saint John Transit buses carry 2.5 million passengers
annually.
3.4- WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE PROJECT?
Who will benefit from the project?
• All current users of Saint John Transit (during peak times the 50 bus fleet comes close to
maximizing its capacity. In fact, saint john riders account for 54% of all public transit users in the
province).
• Those considering using Saint John Transit (the need for buses as an alternative method of
transportation in all areas is growing at a fast pace. As the number of international students and
their families continue to immigrant to saint john, the need for more public transportation grows).
• All citizens in Saint John (reduction of GHGs because of new bus technology, reduced use of
automobiles and reduced need for parking garages).
3.5- WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE A REALIZATION OF THESE
BENEFITS?
When do you anticipate a realization of these benefits?
Citizens of Saint John and surrounding areas will immediately realize the long -term accessibility
and environmental benefits of the purchase of a new bus from its very first run.
During peak times there are runs that are at peak capacity so ridership on these buses is limited.
Typically it takes one year for delivery of a bus from order date.
3.6- DESCRIBE ANY INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL BE
EMPLOYED DURING THE REALIZATION OF THE PROJECT?
Project Business Case Guideline — 5
Describe any innovative technology that will be employed during the realization of
the project?
The diesel electrical bus is a hybrid bus. The hybrid electric engine performs at its best in
stop- and -go traffic, which makes it ideal for transit buses. Electric hybrid buses will reduce
current emissions by 75 percent because the diesel's engine is smaller —more like an engine
in a large pickup truck. A regular diesel bus emits the most pollution when it accelerates from
a stop or goes up hill. The hybrid bus uses electric power from its batteries, drastically
reducing emissions in these situations.
Quieter
With its smaller diesel engine, the hybrid bus has lower engine noise. This innovative bus also
accelerates and goes up hills without revving the engine.
More efficient
Electric hybrid buses are up to 50 percent more fuel efficient than regular buses.
Less costly to maintain
Hybrid buses also cost less to maintain, due to:
• Brakes that last twice as long, thanks to regenerative braking
• No transmission to maintain
• Decreased wear on the suspension
3.7- WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT PROJECT RISKS AND WHAT IS
YOUR STRATEGY TO MITIGATE THOSE RISKS?
What are the significant project risks and what is your strategy to mitigate those
risks?
There are no risks in this undertaking.

Addition to Saint John Transit Rolling Stock
Brief Project Description (200 words or less)
Saint John Transit, the largest transit system in New Brunswick, has one of the oldest fleets in the country. The
average age of a bus in its fleet is 13 years. Funds would go towards purchasing a new Orion diesel hybrid/
electric bus. The bus would use much less fossil fuel and would generate fewer GHG emissions. The Orion bus is
also an easy access, low entry vehicle. Saint John Transit receives about 60 percent of its operating
costs from the fare box, which is one of the highest return rates in Canada for cities of a similar size.
Because of this, unfortunately, its fares are the highest in the province.

SUBJECT: MINISTER'S APPOINTMENT
The City of Saint John has made some real headway on the issue of affordable housing
and yet much remains to be accomplished. The recent appointment of the Honorable
Diane Finley as the new federal Minister of Human Resources and Social Development
presents an opportunity to continue to advocate for the housing needs of our community.
I move that the Mayor extend congratulations to the new Minister on behalf of the City of
Saint John and that the Minister be invited to the City at the earliest opportunity to get a
first hand appreciation of the opportunities to provide affordable housing in our
community.

PROVINCIAL - MUNICIPAL FUNDING
WHEREAS Provincial Unconditional Grant transfers to all municipalities in New
Brunswick have declined from a high of $103,635,000 in 1991 to $65,300,000 in 2006,
and
WHEREAS Provincial Unconditional Grant transfers to all municipalities now amount to
less than 19 percent of property tax revenues derived by the Province from non-
residential properties, and
WHEREAS municipalities in the Province of New Brunswick are not able to access tax
revenues other than property taxes, and
WHEREAS the Provincial tax rate for transportation and policing services in Local
Service Districts has not increased from 65 cents since 1984 resulting in Provincial tax
subsidies to unincorporated areas of the Province, and
WHEREAS artificially low taxation rates in unincorporated areas encourage urban
sprawl to the financial detriment of both municipalities and the Province of New
Brunswick, and
WHEREAS municipalities are not able to adequately respond to the service demands of
their citizens as well as those of unincorporated areas with only property taxes and
unconditional grants as their major sources of revenue,
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Province of New Brunswick be called upon
to;
• Adjust the Provincial Tax rate in unincorporated areas by establishing a tax rate
that reflects the `actual' cost of services provided by the Province of New
Brunswick, and
• Permit municipalities to generate revenues from sources other than property tax
revenues, including but not limited to tax sharing, marketing levies and user fees.

Lighting Memorial Ball Field
BACKGROUND
The City of Saint John has recently put out a request for proposals to supply and
install a new lighting system and service entrance for Memorial Park Ball Fields.
The proposal was scheduled to close on March 9, 2006. Staff hoped to make a
recommendation to Council for award of the project in a timely fashion in order
that there be no interruptions to the upcoming baseball and softball season. Staff
are reviewing the proposals over the coming weekend and provided that there is a
proposal that is within our budget availability and meet the technical
requirements, staff would like to make a recommendation to Council on Monday,
March 13, 2006.
RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends that this report be received and filed.

SUBJECT
Supply and Installation of New Lighting Systems and Service Entrances for
Memorial Park Ball Field
BACKGROUND
As part of the 2006 Facility Management Capital budget funds were included for
the replacement of existing lighting systems at Memorial Park Ball Field. The
existing system was commissioned some 30 years ago and is now due for
replacement. The existing lights are unreliable, energy inefficient, and the poles
themselves have deteriorated to a point where they may fall over. Unlike wooden
poles along our streets, these poles are not laterally supported with electrical wires
and should they fail they will fall, potentially causing serious injury.
A call for proposals for a new lighting system was issued recently and closed on
Thursday, March 9, 2006. There were two respondents to the call for proposals.
Both respondents intend to provide the same equipment, Musco lighting. This is
the lighting equipment preferred by City staff. Consultations were held with
Leisure Services, representatives from Musco, and the Canadian Amateur
Baseball Association. If installed, this lighting system at Memorial Field will be
the best in Atlantic Canada. It will support Leisure Services in their efforts to
attract national sporting events for Saint John.
These lights will provide considerably more illumination on all field surfaces and
at the same time will reduce spillage on the neighbourhood by as much as 50 %.
These lights are more efficient from an energy standpoint and are warranted by
the company for 25 years. The poles have a concrete base and are of galvanized
M & C 2006 — 59 - 2 - March 13, 2006
steel ranging from 60 to 70 feet high. The lighting system is not an off the shelf
product but, rather, is designed specifically to the requirements and lay out of
Memorial Field. Fencing, grandstand area, and viewing areas are all taken into
consideration in terms of locating the light clusters in order that lighting levels are
maximized in all important areas and do not interfere with other activities that
may be going on at Memorial Field. Additionally, this lighting system, being
state of the art, is capable of being monitored and controlled from remote
location. At any time Musco and the City of Saint John will be able to monitor
the lighting levels on the field. Musco warranty includes a provision that they
will replace any and all lights should the lighting levels at any location in the
fields be diminished over the 25 year warranty period. Musco will know this
through electronic measuring.
There were two respondents to the call for proposal, both capable companies to
perform the work. Staff are recommending acceptance of the low tender, O'Brien
Electric Co., Ltd., a local Saint John firm. The amount of the tender, including
the 25 year warranty is $324,000. Funds are available in the 2006 budget for this
project. Should Council agree to make this award, it is staff s expectation that the
work can be completed prior to the 2006 baseball and softball season.
RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends that Council approve the submission of O'Brien
Electric Co., Ltd. for the supply and installation of the new lighting system and
service entrances for Memorial Park Ball Fields in the amount of $324,000.
Respectfully submitted,

BACKGROUND:
Common Council at its November 7, 2005 meeting entered into a legal agreement
with Irving Oil Limited to proceed with the acquisition of lands for the
construction of a new secondary access road to service the Red Head/Mispec area.
On November 21, 2005 Common Council agreed to enter into an agreement with
Her Majesty The Queen represented by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
for the right to gain access for the purpose of preparing a land survey /geotechnical

ANALYSIS:
The Federal owned property is located at the end of Proud Road (see attached
plan). This property serves the Department of Fisheries and Oceans whom
operate a radar tower at the end of their property. Staff has had discussions with
the Department of Fisheries and Oceans regarding the purchase of a portion of
their property to be used in conjunction with the construction of the Red Head
Secondary Access road. They are prepared to convey the land necessary for this
project, although it may be a few months before the land transfer can occur. In
the interim, staff have requested from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
early access to the property for the purposes of constructing the Red Head
Secondary Access road and any related improvements necessary to the Federal
property.
Report to Common Council
March 9, 2006

The Federal government is agreeable to this request and have submitted the
attached Licence that is required to allow the City and its agents (surveyors, etc.)

Re: Rockwood Park Golf Course and Aquatic Driving Range Report submitted
pursuant to a Contract between The City of Saint John and Total Golf
Management Inc. dated March 05, 1999,
Dear Sir:
In connection with this matter, attached please find a report from Total Golf
Management Inc. to the City of Saint John which is being provided in accordance with Article
IV(11), IV(13) and IV(15) of the contract between the City of Saint John and Total Golf
Management Inc. dated March 5, 1999 involving the Rockwood Park Golf Course and Aquatic
Driving Range.
Attached to the report are three (3) Appendices as follows:
• Appendix I to the report provides a summary of enhancements, accomplishments,
refinements, improvements and operating highlights of the past year as set out in
Article IV(13).
• Appendix II provides a summary of the proposed 2006 Fee Structure with the 2005
rates for comparison purposes as well as the rates and fees being charged by other golf
courses in the region as contemplated by Article IV(11).
• Appendix III is a copy of the proposed Administration, Management, Operation and
Maintenance Plans for the facilities for the coming year.
Total Golf Management Inc. is pleased to point out that there is very little increase in
the 2006 fees and, in fact, some fees have actually decreased from the 2005 season.
A representative on behalf of Total Golf Management Inc. will attend a meeting of
Common Council, if required, in order to address any issues arising from the report.

APPENDIX
APPENDIX I
Accomplishments / Enhancements 2005 Golf Season
The Rockwood Park Golf Course and Aquatic Driving Range both opened in late April 2005.
While weather conditions were generally unfavourable throughout the 2005 golf season,
significant improvements were made to the golf facilities.
The large new tees on holes #7 and 16 were completed in 2005. It was anticipated that the
renovations would be completed by 01 July. The brutally wet conditions of May and June
consistently delayed the movement of equipment and resources atthO work site thus delaying
project completion until mid August. The scope of work included elevating the grade of the
tees by approximately 10 feet, increasing the size of the tee areas, pro iding irrigation services
to the tees, shaping and top -soil prior to laying sod, construction of sturdy stairways up to the
new tee grades and, finally, pave and curb all pathways adjacent to the tees. While this project
significantly improved the quality of the golf course, it also (and more importantly) greatly
improved golfer safety by eliminating the blind shots from the tees which existed prior.
Significant capital work was also completed inside the clubhouse. This work included
installation of a new drop ceiling, new overhead lighting and ceiling, fans, reconfiguration of
the pro shop, lobby area, bathrooms and storage areas, new sheet rock and paint throughout
much of the clubhouse, new flooring in the pro shop, upgrades to the security system and
upgrades to the clubhouse furnishings and equipment. Further, a new overhead garage door
was installed in the clubhouse basement.
Rockwood Park also moved forward, as many golf courses in harsh', northern climates have
done, with winter protection for all putting surfaces. The process of winter protection involves
the use of specifically designed upper and lower covers on each green with a sandwich layer
of straw between the covers. A winter cover program protects the greens from ice, prevents
low temperature turf kill, prevents dessication and promotes a longer life cycle for greens as
a benefit of tougher turf realized from winter protection. It should be noted that Riverside,
Westfield and Hampton golf clubs have all committed to a winter covering program locally,
as have many other golf courses in New Brunswick and across Canada.
Total Golf Management Inc. ( "TGMI ") spent approximately $ 70,000.00 on Capital work in
2005. This amount is the sum of the capital required by contract for each of 2005 and 2006
( $50,000.00) plus an additional $ 20,000.00 spent by Total Golf Management Inc. beyond
what was required by contract. It should be noted that TGMI and the City agreed, given the
magnitude of cost of capital projects in 2005, to use 2006 capital one year in advance.
Total Golf Management Inc. paid the City a total of $30,000.00 in 2005 as required by
contract for use of the facility.
Anew fleet of 25 power carts was procured in November 2005, ready for use at the beginning
of the 2006 golf season. The last fleet, purchased in 2001, had reached the end of its useful
life.
There were a total of 27,600 rounds of golf played at the Rockwood Park Golf Course during
the 2005 golf season. The approximately 250 season pass holders accounted for more than
46% of total usage. An estimated 2,500 Green fee and tournament players accounted for the
remaining rounds. The Senior and Adult season pass players, who account for roughly 150 of
the Season Pass positions, averaged more than 80 rounds per person in 2005. It should also
be noted that season pass usage has increased as a percentage of total usage each year since
2001 ( it was 40% of total usage in 2001). The Junior and Student season pass categories
accounted for a small percentage of total usage. The balance between Season Pass usage and
green fee / tournament usage is more than fair to season pass players at this public golf
course..

Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Sublease of a portion of the 12th floor — City Hall
BACKGROUND:
By resolution adopted December 20, 2004 Common Council resolved that the
City would "sublease a 716 sq. ft. +/- portion of the twelfth floor of 15 Market
Square (City Hall), as generally shown on the submitted plan, to the Province
of New Brunswick as represented by the Minister of Supply and Services for a
term commencing January 1, 2005 and ending March 31, 2006 on the general
terms and conditions contained in the proposed Sublease attached hereto.... ".
As council is aware, the City's Lease with Revenue properties for space at
City hall expires in April 2006, which explains why the proposed lease has
such a short term. The tenant will become Morguard's tenant effective May 1,
2006.
In the fall of 2005 the Mr. Jeep McLaughlin of the Department of Supply and
Services contacted the City about the likelihood of securing additional space
on the 12th floor. The Department of Justice requires space for additional
support staff to be relocated to the City Hall space. Several options were
considered and discussed over a term of several weeks, eventually the
Department of Supply and Services (DSS) decided the 716 sq. ft. foyer used
to access their current leased area would be suitable (see attached sketch
labelled "Sublease Premises "). The Sublease document would only require an
amendment to provide for the additional 716 sq. ft of leased area, the
corresponding increase in rent and a new schedule "A" showing the expanded
space to be leased.
DSS also asked that the City act as the project manager for a $15,000.00
tenant fit up. Simply put the Province is asking the City to pay for the tenant
Report to Common Council
March 10, 2006
Page 2
improvements to be performed by the Province's contractor, using the
Province's scope of work. They do not want to procure the work vis -a -vis a
request for quotation as they would lose critical time. As such a contractor has
been selected to perform the work. The cost budgeted by the contractor/
Province for tenant fit -up was $15,000.00. Under this proposed scheme the
contractor will invoice the City for the tenant fit -up and the City in turn will
invoice the Province. The Province has provided the City with a comfort letter
ensuring any cost overruns will not be the responsibility of the City. This
procedure was previously employed without issue.
ANALYSIS
The Subject Space
By way of previous subleases, the twelfth floor has been generally renovated
to accommodate the needs of a customer contact, technology development
centre or office type operation. The floor is primarily vacant and available for
sublease. Renovation will be required to accommodate the lawyers and
support staff.
The Proposed Sublease
It is proposed that the City sublease an additional 716 square foot portion of
the twelfth floor to the Province of New Brunswick at the annual rate of $15
per square foot gross, on a month to month basis on terms and conditions
contained in the master lease. The monthly rent will be $2,066.30 plus HST,
with billing to commence on March 15, 2006 (possession date).
Real Estate Services has advised the proposed rental rate and terms are
consistent with that charged to other temporary subtenants. At $15.00 per
square foot gross, the City recovers its net operating costs and base rent for
the subject premises. Revenue Properties have been advised of the amended
sublease, and have approved same.
Report to Common Council Page 3
March 10, 2006
RECOMMENDATION
That The City of Saint John amend its Sublease of a 716 square foot +/-
portion of the twelfth floor of 15 Market Square (City Hall), as generally
shown on the submitted plan, to the Province of New Brunswick as
represented by the Minister of Supply and Services for a term commencing
January 1, 2005 and ending March 31, 2006 on the general terms and
conditions contained in the proposed Sublease attached hereto; by deleting
"716 sq. ft" where it appears in the sublease and replacing with "1432 sq. ft ",
and further by deleting "$1,033.15" where it appears and replacing with
"$2066.30 ", and further by replacing the existing Schedule "A" with an
amended Schedule "A" reflecting the new area, and that the Mayor and
Common Clerk be authorized to execute the sublease agreement.

SUBJECT: Lease of Land, Granting of R.O.W- Rogers Wireless
BACKGROUND:
By resolution dated March 18, 2002 and amended May 5, 2003, Common Council
authorized the lease of land along Highway No. 1 to Rogers Wireless Inc. for the
purpose of a cell tower site. The subject parcel, being 8 acres ± is part of PID
Number 286559, situated across from Ludgate Lake. At the time of granting the
lease, Rogers Wireless was proposing to access the site off NB Highway No. 1,
along an existing driveway servicing the City's water pumping station. The New
Brunswick Department of Transportation however will not permit access off the
controlled access highway to Rogers. Rogers Wireless looked at alternative
options to access the subject site but could not come up with a practical route.
Officials with Rogers Wireless then looked for alternative sites in the subject area.
An alternative site has been identified. Rogers Wireless has selected a site on City
land adjacent to the Burchill Road. This site was to be accessed off the Burchill
Road for servicing however the Province of N.B. has since decided it is not
prepared to grant permission, creating additional logistical problems for Rogers
Wireless. An alternate access was negotiated. The City has drafted a lease for the
latest proposed site which now grants a right of way immediately adjacent to and
over a portion of Maritimes and Northeast easement from the Paddy's Hill
secondary road off Hwy. 1 and then traversing City owned land paralleling the
M &NE Easement (see attached plan) to the proposed leased site. The City has
been advised that Maritime's and Northeast and Aliant Telecom Inc. have agreed
Report to Common Council Page 2
March 9, 2006
to grant Rogers limited use of their easement if necessary with area to be
determined at the time of development.
Council originally resolved to enter into a lease with Rogers Wireless on March
18, 2002 and amended that resolution on May 5, 2003. While the terms and
conditions remain basically the same the lands to be leased and access to these
lands have materially changed. Deadlines have passed and the agreements have
become stale dated. It is the opinion of staff that the previous two resolutions
regarding this lease be rescinded so an entirely new resolution may be considered.
ANALYSIS:
THE SUBJECT PARCEL:
The subject parcel is bound by the Saint John Throughway (Route 1) to the north,
and the Lorneville "Heavy Industrial Site" to the south. A portion of PID 286559,
one kilometre east of the subject site, was previously conveyed to Aliant Telecom
for a freestanding telecommunication relay tower. Other encumbrances over the
parcel include an NB Power right -of -way and Maritimes & Northeast's natural gas
pipeline.
THE SUBJECT SITE:
The proposed new site is situated adjacent to the Burchill Road (see attached
sketch in the lease). The area of the proposed new site is 8 acres more or less.
BURCHILL ROAD:
The portion of the Burchill Road fronting along the proposed tower site is a public
street. However, that portion of the Burchill Road (south of the City land) back to
the King William Road was stopped up and closed by Common Council on
September 19, 1977 (as Highway 810). The road was closed to facilitate a large
industrial development proposal that did not occur. The City of Saint John still
owns the former road. Access to the site for servicing the tower will be by-way -
of traversing and paralleling the Maritimes and Northeast Pipelines easement
from Paddy's Hill secondary access road to the public remnant portions of the
Burchill Road. The installation of the tower may require access along the stopped
up and closed portion of Burchill Road. Access over the former road must be
granted by the Province of New Brunswick. Such access is at the risk of the
Lessee.
Report to Common Council
March 9, 2006
INPUT FROM OTHERS:
Page 3
Municipal Operations has advised that The City of Saint John currently does not
maintain the King William Road, South of Paddy's Hill Drive or the Burchill
Road. All access must be at the sole right and expense of Rogers Wireless.
Building & Technical Services has no objections to the location change.
Planning & Development has advised that Planning Advisory Committee
approval of the proposed lot is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) That Common Council rescind it's resolutions of March 18, 2002 and May 5,
2003 with regards to the lease of land with Rogers Wireless Inc., and
2) That The City of Saint John enters into a lease with Rogers Wireless Inc. for an
8 acre +/- site and right of way for servicing under the terms and conditions
contained in the attached lease document, and
3) that the Mayor and common Clerk be authorized to execute any document
necessary to finalize this transaction.

SUBJECT: 2006 ORTHOPHOTOGRAPHY CONTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The City will be acquiring updated orthophotography this spring. In addition to the areas
within the City boundaries, the orthophotography will cover the entire Loch Lomond
protected potable water watershed area will also be acquired this year, at the request of
the Municipal Operations division. In 2004, the towns of Grand Bay - Westfield,
Rothesay and Quispamsis as well as Saint John Energy partnered with the City of Saint
John on the original orthophotography project. The towns of Grand Bay - Westfield,
Rothesay and Quispamsis have confirmed that they would like to partner once again with
the City on the 2006 project. The Town of Hampton has also expressed an interest in
joining the project this year, but has yet to confirm.
What are orthophotos? Orthophotos are aerial photographs in which the displacement of
objects, due to normal photographic distortion and ground relief, has been eliminated. They
are photos that show objects on the ground, in their correct geographic position.
What is the deliverable? The primary deliverable from this contract will be
high - resolution (15cm) colour orthophotography, in digital format. A secondary
deliverable is digital terrain elevation information. The contractor has to collect elevation
information in order to create the orthophotos. As experienced from the 2004 project,
this secondary deliverable has also proven to be an extremely useful dataset in many
instances.
What are they used for? In addition to giving users a better understanding of their
geography, when integrated into the Geographic Information System (GIS), orthophotos
provide a means for updating existing mapping information as well as collecting new
information. Since the distances and angles can be measured directly from orthophotos,
countless person -hours are saved as the number of field visits required for each project are
dramatically reduced or eliminated altogether.

ANALYSIS:
Page 2
In 2004, a contract for the provision of this service was awarded to OSI Geomatics as the
successful bidder for the request for proposals. At that time, OSI Geomatics was
unanimously chosen by a selection committee with members from the City's Planning &
Development, Buildings & Inspection Services, Municipal Operations & Engineering
Services and Corporate Services Departments. OSI Geomatics met or exceeded all of the
expectations and criteria of the proposal call, as well as submitting the low cost bid.
In the summer of 2005, OSI Geomatics purchased a US based mapping firm. This
purchase resulted in a name change that better represented their newly acquired
multinational status. The new company name is Mapcon Mapping Ltd.
Having used the deliverables from the 2004 orthophotography for over a year, City staff,
as well as all partners in the 2004 project, are very satisfied with the quality of the
product and the service received from OSI Geomatics.
In preparation for the 2006 orthophotography requirements, City staff and partners in the
project have raised concerns related to cost, time and utility of calling for new proposals
for this service. The recommendation of the stakeholders is to continue the project with
the previous supplier now known as Mapcon Mapping Ltd.
GIS Staff are in favour of this proposal because there appears to be no compelling reason
to assume that a new proposal call will result in a higher level of quality product or a
lower project cost. There has not been much change in the industry since 2004 and there
are numerous advantages to the City that would come as a result of awarding the contract
to Mapcon Mapping Ltd. without going through the RFP process.
The advantages to the City would be the following:
• The City can avoid the increased administration and legal costs that it would incur
in preparing, releasing, and awarding the contract through an RFP process.
• There would be a substantial staff timesaving if no selection committee is
required to evaluate multiple proposals.
• Mapcon Mapping Ltd. were the low bid in 2004 and they have submitted a
proposal in which the City's per square kilometre cost is reduced by 8.5% for the
2006 project.
• Mapcon Mapping Ltd. has assured us that this project will be their number one
priority.
• By awarding the contract through a direct award process, the City will be able to
secure a contract four to six weeks ahead of time, which will result in booking and
securing a higher priority flight schedule, thus increasing the ability to capture
optimal weather conditions.
• Higher priority photo capture will expedite the overall schedule due to earlier
photo capture.
Report to Common Council
March 9, 2006
Page 3
• Mapcon Mapping Ltd. has a very good understanding of the City's quality
expectations and standards. In 2004, a pilot area process was used to help meet
the City's expectations in regards to colour balancing and tonal adjustment. This
process took time to get the product to meet the City's expectations. This process
would be greatly shortened.
• With all the 2004 data in -house and with Mapcon Mapping Ltd.'s intimate
understanding of the data they created in 2004, they would be able to shorten the
production schedule by several weeks. An earlier delivery date extends the data's
shelf life.
• Due to its strong financial position, Mapcon Mapping Ltd. is a company that has
been utilizing the best technology the industry has to offer. This directly
increases the product quality.
• Mapcon Mapping Ltd. is currently under contract with two clients using the
Digital Camera technology. Having seen some great results from this technology,
they are one of the very few Canadian companies with experience executing
projects of this nature. They are prepared to provide the city with a digital camera
acquisition option.
• With their US and Canadian offices they have doubled the mapping resources
they can bring to bear on our projects, further enhancing the schedule.
• Mapcon Mapping Ltd. has offered the City the option of entering into a
maintenance agreement such that the City can amortize the cost of the 2006
orthophotos over 2 years instead of 1 year. Staff is very favourable to this
financial arrangement and if Mapcon Mapping Ltd. is awarded the contract, this
option will be accepted.
• Mapcon Mapping Ltd. has also offered the option for the City to extend the
maintenance agreement, such that the orthophotography would be updated again
in 2008 with firm fixed prices at today's rates. If the delivered 2006 products are
found to be satisfactory by Staff, this option will also be accepted.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
OSI Geomatics (Mapcon Mapping Ltd.) submitted the lowest bid in response to the 2004
proposal call.
Mapcon Mapping Ltd., being aware that the City and its partners would be seeking new
orthophotography in 2006, has submitted a new proposal in which the City's per square
kilometre costs are 8.5% lower than their 2004 bid.
The estimated total cost of orthophotography for the 2006 project, if awarded as
recommended, will be $55,906. Funds are available in the GIS and Municipal Operations
divisions' 2006 operating budgets for this planned expenditure.
Report to Common Council
March 9, 2006
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
Mapcon Mapping Ltd.'s proposal has been reviewed with the Purchasing Agent.
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that notwithstanding the City's policy respecting the purchase of
services, in light of the factors identified in M & C — 2006 -51, Common Council award
the 2006 orthophotography contract to Mapcon Mapping Ltd. in the amount of $55,906.

The New Brunswick Day Parade is being held on August 76, 2006 in
West Saint John. The Theme this year will be "A Salute To The War

Hospital site on Lancaster Avenue and proceed along Main. Street,
Church Avenue and Dever Road to the Peter Murray Arena. Here
there will be entertainment and refreshments for all.
We are planning for local bands to take part and we are seeking Orc
approval of CFB Gagetown for a group of Gulf '1?i'ar V(rteraps to lead
the Parade. Needless to say, the Saint John District of The Royal
Canadian Legion will also be on parade.
I am asking that you please consider a donation of Sl,tM. to assist us in
this very important salute to these gallant Ladies and their Yetcrpn
husbands.

Re: Impacts of International Energy Infrastructure Projects on Canadian
Communities
At its Regular Council Meeting, on January 23, 2006, Abbotsford City Council discussed
the current challenge facing the City of Saint John with respect to an application to the
National Energy Board (NEB) for a major natural gas pipeline proposed for your
community. As we understand it, the pipeline would bring no discernable or significant
benefit to the community, but would be burdensome in various ways.
Abbotsford City Council commiserates with you over this critical situation and offers
best wishes in your community's intervention at the upcoming NEB hearings.
Abbotsford, as you know, endured more than five years of similar circumstances. We
were an intervener in environmental hearings on both sides of the border for a fossil fuel -
fired electrical generating plant, and its associated transmission infrastructure, proposed
immediately across the U.S.- Canada border from our City.
We offer you our assistance in terms of guidance, advice, and insight. We hope that like
us, your end result will be positive. In our situation, the NEB turned down the application
and the Federal Court of Appeal upheld that decision upon the challenge of the
proponent. The NEB's decision stated that it was "unable to come to the conclusion that
the International Power Line is in the Canadian public interest" and "on balance, the
burdens of the IPL outweigh the benefits ".

The City of Abbotsford forwarded two resolutions to the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM) for support. While they are not entirely applicable to your
situation, they do speak to the need for the Government of Canada to safeguard the
interests of Canadian communities in the process of receiving and reviewing proposals
for energy related infrastructure projects that have negative environmental impacts.
Attached are copies of the resolutions for your information. We hope that you will
support these at the upcoming FCM annual convention.

RESOLUTION NO. 2
CROSS- BORDER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
(Addressing the need to establish Air Quality Modelling Standards)
WHEREAS most of the population of Canada lives within 100 kilometres of the
Canada -USA border; And whereas the criteria for the use of the modeling system to
examine Canada -USA trans - boundary air quality issues are believed to be inadequate;
AND WHEREAS the evaluation processes to examine Canada -USA trans- boundary air
quality issues are poorly defined, as evidenced by the processes examining the
environmental effects of the proposed Sumas 2 Generation Facility in Sumas,
Washington on residents and communities in Canada;
AND WHEREAS the allocation of government responsibilities to oversee Canada- USA
trans - boundary air quality issues are poorly defined;
AND WHEREAS the Federation of Canadian Municipalities is concerned about the
probability that undesirable cross - border precedents may be created if local government
and community concerns over trans - boundary air quality issues are not adequately
addressed;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Federation of Canadian Municipalities urges
that the Federal Government of Canada and its agencies take a greater leadership role in
establishing all necessary and appropriate actions to:
a) establish clearly defined air quality modeling standards and criteria for modeling;
b) establish well - defined evaluation processes for the interpretation of modeling results in
air quality evaluations; and
c) properly allocate and assign the responsibilities of the Federal, Provincial and Local
governments;
that will be sufficient to ensure proper and timely consideration of future Canada -USA
trans - boundary air quality issues, and enable Canada to fulfill its obligations under the
Canada -USA Air Quality Agreement.

Your Worship and Councillors,
There has some confusions respecting the Seniors Advisory Committee as to its
terms of reference and appointments of members. Terms of office of all members have
expired.
The City has advertised for applications for appointments to the Committee.
Some applications have been sent in, but these have not been acted upon. There
apparently are some Council members who are not aware of the objectives of the
Committee. I further understand that there has been some movement to reduce
Committees, being considered by Council. I suggest a Seniors Advisory Committee,
appointed by the Council and responsible to Council, could provide an excellent
sounding Board of ideas respecting seniors as all councillors cannot be expected to take
the time to deal with or consider, study or investigate various matters. On the other hand
the members of Advisory Committees of this type, can find time to bring to Councils
attention, matters which otherwise might remained hidden.
There are continuing problems facing seniors citizens of which many experts
apparently are not aware, with the result programs are creating difficulties for many
seniors. In fact, with the growing number of seniors and the increasing number of seniors
(age 75 and older) whose problems are different than those under 75 in many instances.
There needs to be more attention in planning to help resolve these such problems.
Unfortunately, with no appointments to this committee for two years, it appears
there's been something amiss. No positive steps appears to have been taken to deal with
the increasing number of problems relating to seniors.
The situation as set out in a letter of December 2003, sent to the previous council.
This letter drew to the attention of the City Council, the fact council had never adopted
the objectives of the Advisory Committee. This leaves the City in a position to set out its
own terms and references and to determined the objectives of such Advisory Council.
Attached is a copy of the letter. A motion that was proposed, that the Advisory
Committee be endorsed, was not adopted, on the contrary, the letter merely was received
and filed.
To date nothing further has been done by Council in relation to ensuring there is
an opportunity for Council as a whole, receiving relevant information on the subject of
meeting problems, under the control of the Municipality which effect seniors. The
problems facing seniors is of growing concern.
I suggest positive action be taken on a broad base, which will enable council to
show to the general public its concern and interest in meeting and resolving the growing
problems facing senior citizens in their City.
Yours truly,
Eric L Teed

Your Worship and Councillors:
December 4, 2003
Re: Seniors Advisory Committee
A matter of the objectives of the Seniors Advisory Committee were discussed at the
December 1 st meeting of Council.
The Common Council on February 12, 2001 approved the establishment of a Seniors
Advisory Committee. On April 2, 2001, 14 members were appointed to the Committee..
A review of the City records indicate the Seniors Advisory Committee has established its
own objectives. These have apparently not been adopted by Council. It further appears some
members of Council were or are not aware of the objectives.
The objectives of the Committee are as follows:
1. To bring to Council matters concerning the quality of life of senior citizens, which have
been identified by the Committee, that require action by the Municipality.
2. To advise Council on any maters concerning seniors, which may be referred to the
committee by council.
3. To advise City council on matters which may particularly affect the quality of life of
Seniors.
4. To encourage and facilitate dialogue throughout the community regarding Civic matters,
which directly affect Seniors.
5. To work cooperatively with Municipal Departments and Committees, by providing
advice and information, to ensure that the needs of seniors are included in policy
development and service delivery.
Seniors Advisory Committee
December 4, 2003
Page 2
6. In particular, to consider and offer advice on the following topics:
Communication, Crime and the Elderly, Transportation
New Technology relevant to seniors, Health Services, Housing
Transit services- ridership & access, Educational programs on Elder Abuse
It appears some members of Council were not aware of these objectives.
To clarify the matter so that there is no lack of information or any misunderstanding in the
future I move that the objectives of the Advisory Committee be endorsed and approve the Committee
as set forth above.
Yours truly
