SCHEDULE "A"
The applicant, Zed & Company, respectfully requests a rezoning of the
property located at 76 Coburg Street, and submits the following points for
consi derati on:
The applicant, after the purchase of the property, plans to invest thousands
of dollars in the uptown City of Saint John by rehabilitating the highly
visible property at 76 Coburg Street. Zed & Company is a locally owned
law firm established 31 years ago with plans on remaining in business
permanently in the City of Saint John. By owning its own building, Zed &
Company is guaranteeing the firm~ long term viability and longevity in the
City. It makes good economic sense for Zed & Company to invest in its
own building in the long-term.
Zed & Company Law Offices must be located in the uptown area because
the Courts, Service New Brunswick, the Registry Office, the banks, and the
vast majority of Saint John lawyers are all located uptown.
A major complaint of Zed & Company's clients is the lack of available
parking in its current location. The property at 76 Coburg Street has ample
off-street parking. Another complaint expressed by many of Zed &
Company's clients is their fear of heights and the fear of using an elevator.
Both of these complaints will be eliminated by relocating to the Coburg
Street location with ground floor accessibility.
Another common problem for lawyers is the lack of storage room for files
and the associated cost of securely storing files. Zed & Company's file
storage challenge would be effectively addressed and resolved at the Coburg
Street property location which has a large dry and secure basement.
Strictly speaking the property at 76 Coburg Street is currently zoned as
residential. By changing the zoning to B2 and allowing Zed & Company to
establish its offices at 76 Coburg Street, the City would not be changing the
nature of the street. Currently Coburg Street is one of the busiest streets in
the City of Saint John. There are several Doctors' offices, insurance offices,
a church, a school, a clothing store, and even a law office on the corner of
Coburg and Carleton Streets. By changing the zoning it would not set a
precedent because the City of Saint John has already approved a rezoning
application on Coburg Street where Chipman Hills Suites is currently
located.
Approving the rezoning will not alter the character of the building at 76
Coburg Street. The building presently consists of two small apartments and
one large four bedroom home. The current owner and his family have
owned the property for approximately 45 years. The owner, Mr. Moses, is a
single man without children and the property is too large and expensive for
him to maintain. Mr. Moses would be pleased if the City of Saint John
approved the rezoning, as selling the property to Zed & Company would
keep the property in the family. Mr. Moses does not want his family home
to be converted into another Coburg Street rooming house nor cut up into
small apartments. He does not want the interior structure to be altered,
thereby losing the integrity and heritage forever. Zed & Company would
completely restore the building's interior ceilings, walls and floors, to their
once grand state while bringing the plumbing and electrical components up
to code.
The 76 Coburg Street property is located on the comer of Paddock and
Coburg Streets, at the top of Garden Street, and that is exactly what Zed &
Company proposes to create - a beautiful garden on the corner thereby
enhancing the busy intersection and in keeping with the residential character
of the neighborhood. Zed & Company will keep the two residential
apartments in the building, which will not be converted into office space.
Zed & Company is in business not only to provide a living to its owner and
employees, but to provide valuable legal services to the people of Saint John
at reasonable tees. By approving the rezoning Zed & Company will be able
to keep its overhead costs down and pass on its savings to the people of
Saint John.

As you are aware the Fundy B~ Festival will take place in Saint John this year from
September 21 $t/06 to September 24 /06. One of the venues we are looking to use is King
Street East between Sydney and Cannarthen Street. This we will be using for our MAIN
STAGE events. I have been in touch with the Parking Commission and Sgt. Crowley of
the Police Force in regards to time and usage of the street. We would like permission
from you to let us have street vendors during this time. Some of the vendors would be our
entertainers to sell their cd's and maybe a food vendor or two. We would also have tables
set up for Aboriginal and Multicultural heritage information.
Any and all debris will be cleaned up and put back to original state as agreed by us
with the parking commission.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

I am writing this letter concerning the work that has been going on in relation to the gas
pipeline along Manawagonish Rd. and the damage that has been done to the sidevvalk in
tront otmy home at 1852 Manawagonish Road
As you are aware this street is one of the heaviest traveled streets in the west side of the
city and a main access for business travel to the outskirts of the city and beyond.
I am also sending pictures of this damage showing large sections 01 sidewalk that has
been ripped up and or 4amaged and as yet repaired.
It needs to be pointed out that this sidewalk borders two major sub divisions in the west
side and is used every day by a number of \-vomen pushing baby' carriages and guiding
small children to and from the pumpkin patch and because of the damage to this sidewalk
are skirting this area and are pushing there baby carriages on the side of the street in a
effort to avoid this damage
It goes without saying that this now causes a safety concern not only with the people that
live in this area, but to the city itself
I am requesting tlrrough thi., letter that the city works dept. take over the rcpairs of this
section of sidewalk to make sure that the damaged sections of sidewalk arc replaced as it
is my fear that those responsible will only try to cover up these problems and the real
damage ",ill then become the responsibility of the city in the neat' future.

SUBJECT: Release of Municipal Services Easement
Lot 05-04A, Depot Court (PID 55174304)
BACKGROUND:
On January 31, 2005, Common Council assented to the subdivision of the Depot
Court area with respect to the widening of the Westmorland Road public street
right-of-way, the proposed new cul-de-sac street (Depot Court) and any required
municipal services easements and public utility easements. The subdivision plan
was subsequently approved in March 2005 and filed in the Registry Office.
Subsequent to the approval and filing of the initial subdivision plan, an amending
plan was approved and filed that increased the width of portions of the municipal
services easements over Lot 05-03 and Lot 05-04. This change was made as a
result of more detailed servicing plans having been prepared.
ANALYSIS:
The owner of Lot 05-04A, Horizon Management Ltd., has now requested that the
City release a portion of the originally vested municipal services easement on Lot
05-04A that is no longer needed by the City. The portion to be released mns along
the Westmorland Road frontage and the southwest side lot line of Lot 05-04A, as
shown in cross-hatching on the attached photo-reduced copy of the subdivision
plan. The release of this portion of the easement is possible because of the
increased width of that portion of the easement located between the Home Depot
propeliy (Lot 05-02) and Lot 05-04A. The Municipal Operations and Engineering
Department has indicated its agreement with the property-owner's request.
RepOlt to Common Council
June 30, 2006

RECOMMENDATION:
That Common Council authorize the Mayor and Common Clerk to execute the
attached Partial Release of Easement with respect to Lot 05-04A, Depot Court
(PID 55174034).

SUBJECT: Assent of Public Utility Easements

ANALYSIS:
On October 12, 2004 Common Council favourably considered a subdivision

Hillcrest Road (see attachments). At that time the Developer was only seeking
acceptance from Council of cash-in-lieu for the required Land for Public Purposes
dedication.
Since that time Saint John Energy has informed the Developer that they require
public utility easements for this subdivision development. This request was not
known at the time when the application was initially considered by the City.
While the utility company was prepared to allow for the creation of two of these
lots (Lots 3 & 6) earlier this year, they are now insisting on easements for the
remaining lots.
As the Community Planning Act does not require a recommendation from the
Planning Advisory Committee in order to assent to public utility easements, and
given the nature of this application, no Committee involvement or further public
notification has been considered.
Approval of any necessary public utility easements regarding the Hillcrest Lake
Estates Subdivision is recommended.

Your Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane and Common Council
Saint John, New Brunswick
I am writing to inform you of the newly formed Village Neighbourhood Association.
We are one of five neighbourhoods in Saint John that has been identified as a
neighbourhood under stress due to the high concentration of poverty. A few facts
might provide you with a picture of our neighbourhood:
· The percent of single mother families in the Crown Street area is double
the Saint John average. All other areas of our neighbourhood have very
few children.
· Our incidence of low-income households is double the Saint John
average.
· While most households are funded by an employed breadwinner, most
households are significantly below the Saint John average income and
the LlCO of $22,000. We are the working poor.
· Only 8% of our properties are owner occupied.
· Our homes are old -~ 90% were built before 1970; 54% were bum before
1940
Our issues are neither surprising nor rocket-science to fix. Our issues are found in
the roots of neglect, poverty and silence. We are finding our voice!
We would like to make a presentation to Common Council regarding the issues we
are working on in an effort to improve the quality of life in our neighbourhood. We
cannot raise the standard by ourselves - we require the attention and services of
several commissions and city staff. We have had some successes in The Village
in working with the Police and area agencies and would like to build on this model.
We look forward to the support of the City Departments and Commissions as the
"Village Association" works to raise the standard in our neighbourhood.
Please advise of a suitable time for speaking with the Council.
Sincerely,
(ecelv~J ~~ e~

;; IN TERMS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT; WHAi:!~~~CI~ICALLY WOULD YOU
LIKE TO SEE THE POLICE DO IN THE VILLAGE?
-More proactive policing. rather than reactive policing. The police should take the
initiative on fighting crime, not rely totally on the community to report it.
-Move the prostitutes out of THE VILLAGE, which is our residential neighbourhood.
This would require a crackdown on johns cruising our streets. The johns should be
arrested and their names published.
-Increase drug arrests, especially for public use of marijuana and crack cocaine.
-Increase traffic patrols in the Village; especially enforce traffic and motor vehicle
violations. Particular attention should be placed on taxicab operators who violate
traffic and motor vehicle laws, Many taxi drivers are deeply involved in aiding and
abetting the sex trade.
-Ticket every vehicle that is illegally parked in bus stops and no parking zones when
observed. Routine patrols should be taking this action without being called.
-Increase foot and bicycle patrols at night in the Village.
-Strongly enforce anti-idling by-law. Too many vehicles (including city vehicles) are
parked with their engines running for long periods of time.
-Place a Community Police Station in the Village, if possible located in the Community
Health Center on Coburg Street. 27
""'.'^"""'h"~-W"....__,
:~:M~P7",,"S7"
WHAT SPECIFICALLY WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE DONE TO ACHIEVE
BETTER TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN THE VILLAGE?
.Change the traffic patterns to "calm the neighbourhood" ie: make Waterloo Street a
one-way artery into the city centre and Prince Edward Street a one-way artery out of
the core. After Paul Harris Street, traffic from Prince Edward could then continue on
Brunswick Drive in two lanes,
-Place a pedestrian traffic light on the corner of Paddock and Coburg Streets. It is
very dangerous to cross this intersection.
-Restrict left hand turns from Paddock Street on to Coburg Street.
-Place NO TRUCK signs on Richmond Street and ticket trucks when they use
Richmond as a cut through.
.Restrict left hand tums from Richmond Street on to Prince Edward Street and from
Richmond Street on to Waterloo Street.
-Restrict left hand turns at the top of Cliff Street on to Coburg Street.
.Place an additional stop sign at the corner of Coburg and Carleton Streets.
-Develop a comprehensive traffic management plan for The Village; until then, the
above suggestions should be looked at, seriously studied, and implemented wherever
p~~~. u
14
-jt' ."i,!!!~~~,;:q
WHAT SPECIFICALLY WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE DONE TO IMPROVE
PARKING IN THE VILLAGE?
'More enforcement of parking rules and bylaws in the Village. We have too many
vehicles parked here that do not belong in the neighbourhood.
'We would like to see Village residents receive priority on renting spaces in city owned
and managed parking lots. This would allow Village residents an off-street place to
park their vehicles and have fewer vehicles parked on the streets of the Village.
'We would like to see several streets made no parking, especially to non-residents.
Cliff Street would be a good one to start with and then others added later. We want to
force non-resident vehicles off the streets and make the neighbourhood safer for
pedestrians.
'We would like to see parking meters installed beilNeen Richmond Street and Paul
Harris with daily enforcement to prevent prolonged and all day parking. DthelVlise,
there should be no parking on either side of Prince Edward Street east of Richmond
Street.
'We would like to see parking on Union Street banned to improve traffic safety. This
action should take place as soon as construction begins on the new police station and
justice center on Hazen Avenue or the new YM/YVVCA on Chipman Hill.
:Zl
WHAT SPECIFICALLY WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN IN THE
VILLAGE TO IMPROVE ITS APPEARANCE?
.Hold both landlords and tenants responsible for trash in front of their buildings.
They should be fined for opened trash bags left on the streets prior to or after pickup.
'City campaign against littering in the Village especially from the sale of disposable
coffee cups at the Tim Hortons on Waterloo Street. More city owned trash
receptacles would certainly help solve this problem.
'Place garbage receptacles all over the Village. Right now there are very few. We
also would like to see the city pickup trash deposited in these public containers as
needed.
'We would like to see a blue bin program modeled on other Canadian cities where
residents can put their recyclables on the curb for city pickup.
'City support of our efforts to clean up vacant lots and to hold owners responsible for
keeping them green and tidy after we clean them up.
30
15
WHAT, IF ANYTHING, SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT BUS ROUTES AND
TRAFFIC PATTERNS?
. Make The Village more pedestrian friendly by reducing the number of cars and
trucks using this as a drive through thoroughfare.
. Ban all truck traffic on Richmond Street and Cliff Street immediately and significantly
reduce on other residential streets.
. Slow speeding cars by placing speed bumps on Prince Edward Street perpendicular
to the NB Liquor Store at Prince Edward Square Mall.
. Ban parking on Union Street to improve traffic safety. This action should take place
as soon as construction begins on the new police station and justice center on
Hazen Avenue or the new YMfYWCA on Chipman Hill.
. Run bus traffic into the city on Waterloo Street and out of the city on Prince Edward
Street. Having buses turn on to Richmond Street is dangerous and unnecessary.
31
PAGE 2... WHAT, IF ANYTHING, SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT PEDESTRIAN
SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE?
Pedestrian Safety
. Make crosswalks more visible throughout the Village. The crosswalks need to be
painted with more durable paint. We also need signs on both sides of the
crosswalk. The most important Improvement we need is lights at every crosswalk so
pedestrians can be seen.
. Improve street lighting in areas where prostitutes tend to loiter. The corner of Cliff
and Waterloo is such a spot and it is also a crosswalk
Quality of Ufe:
. Examine use and frequency of sirens by fire department and the EMS vehicles.
They should only be used in case of a genuine emergency. These sirens are too
loud, too disruptive, and unnecessary in many cases.
. Reduce overhead lines for electric, telephone and cable services. These utility lines
have gotten out of hand. In some cases the lines are strung so low that passing
trucks can pull them down.

Re: Request for Presentation Regarding Community Model for Old North
End with Respect to Policing
Background:
Over the last several months as the media attention has profiled the successes
of the Old North End neighborhood revitalization, citizens in other parts of the city
specifically the South End have suggested that there has been a drop in Police
presence in their neighborhood.
There is very much an understanding that as the undesirable element is pushed
from one neighborhood they are going to reappear in another neighborhood. The
perception, be it right or wrong, is that all police focus has shifted to the Old
North End and that the South End is now vulnerable to becoming home to the
very undesirable element that the Old North End just got rid of!
It is important that all citizens feel safe and considered and that we avoid the
possibility of one neighborhood feeling resentment toward another.
A wonderful model has been created in the Old North End involving many
partners and champions not just the Police Department. A clear understanding of
the process taken to achieve the Old North End's success thus far would be a
very useful catalyst for other vulnerable neighborhoods.
Each success our neighborhoods enjoys brings us one step closer to creating the
whole community we have envisioned in Council's 2015 vision statement.
I therefore request Chief Bodechon and Police Commission Chair Ray French to
present to Council their whole community plan with respect to neighborhood
policing.
Respectively submitted,
Received bye-mail

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
June 5,2006
City of Saint John
His Worship Mayor Norman McFarlane and
Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
RE: Long-Term Financial Outlook
INTRODUCTION
During the 2005 Budget preparation process all City Departments, Boards,
Agencies and Commissions were asked to prepare and submit detailed estimates
for a three year period 2005-2007. During the 2006 Budget process the
previously submitted estimates were refined and Council was presented with a
2006 Operating Budget and a preliminary Budget for 2007.
The purpose of this report is to discuss a number of items which have arisen since
the preparation of the preliminary 2006 Operating Budget which will challenge
the City's ability to maintain its current tax rate. In addition staffwill present a
longer term overview ofthe City's financial picture.
2007 OPERATING BUDGET
In December of 2005 Common Council was presented with a preliminary estimate
of the 2007 Operating Budget. Staffhas revised these estimates to reflect recent
requests for funding and other factors based on actual operating results to date.
These revised estimates are attached as Appendix A.
As can be seen from the attaclunent the preliminary estimates result in a property
tax rate of $1.899 an increase of 10.4 cents or 5,79%. Included in these estimates
are some significant changes from the 2006 Budget year including the following
items.
City of Saint John
Long Term Financial Outlook
June 5th, 2006
I. Pension Plan funding - the estimates include provision for
$1,550,000 to expense a portion of the funding required and paid for
the years 2004-2006. In addition there is provision for funding
required in 2007 in the amount of$3,638,000.
2. Police Commission - estimated costs associated with the addition of
personnel as requested by the Police Commission during the 2006
Budget process are included in the 2007 preliminary budget amounts.
3. Road maintenance - the preliminary 2007 estimates include
provision for increasing the amount of money allocated for the asphalt
resurfacing program. This is part of a long-term plan prepared by
Municipal Operations showing the resources required to properly
maintain the City's road network.
4. Capital from Operating - the amount allocated for capital has been
increased in accordance with the City's long-term financial plan aimed
at reducing the City's dependence on debt financing for "recurring"
capital expenditures.
It is significant to note that the collective agreement with CUPE Loca118 (outside
workers) expires on December 31,2006, CUPE Local 61 (police) expires on June
30,2007 and IAFF local 771 (firefighters) expires on June 30, 2007. The police
agreement is of particular concern as wage settlements in other jurisdictions have
been quite high leaving the City's pay scale significantly behind comparative
communi ti es.
BEYOND 2007
Over the past several years staffhas been using a model for looking at the City's
financial picture over a fifteen to twenty year timeframe. The principal driver
behind the original development ofthis model was the goal of reducing the City's
reliance on debenture financing for its ''recuning'' capital expenditures.
Recurring Capital Expenditures
The City's current capital program is made up largely of projects that are needed
to maintain existing assets. The City has an extensive array of services supported
by a variety of infrastructure, facilities and equipment. These capital assets
require an on-going investment to ensure that the City sustains its ability to
provide services efficiently and effectively. This importance oHhis type of
investment was clearly articulated in the Operational Review Report presented by
Chartwell Inc.
Page 2
City of Saint John
Long Term Financial Outlook
June 5th, 2006
The impact of not making these types of investments is typically not seen in the
short-tenn however over time infrastructure will deteriorate and the costs
associated with restoring will far exceed the cost of properly maintaining the
assets in question.
The investments required for these recurring capital items are significant and will
be needed annually if service levels are to be maintained. Staff has previously
estimated this recurring capital funding requirement at approximately $14.5
million per year. In the Operational Review~ Chartwell Inc. came up with amounts
of a similar magnitude.
Rather than being incorporated in the Fiscal Services area of the City's Operating
Budget these investments need to be properly incorporated into the on-going costs
associated with each of our services so that Council and the Public are in a proper
position to evaluate the services and to determine allocation oflimited resources.
Since 2003 the City has been able to make some significant initial steps in this
regard. The City's budget now incorporates a full costing model for both fleet
and corporate computers at the Departmental level. Through this model operating
departments are charged both the cost of maintaining these assets as well as a
charge for timely replacement. In addition since 2003 the City's Operating
Budget has provided for the full cost of our labour rather than requiring borrowing
funds through our capital programs to pay for some of our labour costs. Finally
there has been an increased amount allocated to recurring capital expenditures in
the City's Operating Budget.
In total these actions have resulted in approximately $3.8 million dollars of
recurring capital expenses being incorporated into the City's proposed Operating
Budget for 2007. The goal ofthe long-term plan is to slowly raise this amount to
the sum required to cover our recurring capital. It is currently estimated that this
will achieved by 2020.
Long-Term Issues
The results of the financial modeling are presented in Appendix B. Aside from
dealing with the City's recurring capital requirements the long-term financial
model brings to light a number of significant points that Common Council should
consider.
1. Unconditional Grant funding:
Over the past few years the Province has been increasing the amount paid
to the City by approximately 2% per year. The amount to be paid by way
of the Unconditional Grant has been committed through to and including
the 2008 fiscal year. There is no indication as to what action will be taken
after that time.
Page 3
City of Saint John
Long Term Financial Outlook
June 5'h, 2006
2. Alternative Sources of Revenue:
The on-going need for an unconditional grant from the Province simply
highlights the fact that the services provided by the City cannot be
properly funded by property taxation and user fee revenues alone.
As can be seen in Appendix B given the City's currently limited sources of
revenue there is not sufficient funds available to cover the on-going
expenses of the City. With no changes in our revenue generating capacity
the long-term trend would require the City's property tax rate to grow by
at least 1.5 to 2 cents per year.
Our City as with every major urban center across this country needs a
source of revenue that is more closely linked with economic activity in our
community. A portion of sales tax revenue or a percentage of income tax
revenues would achieve this result and place the City in a much more
viable long-term financial position.
3. Capital Expenditures:
In 2006 the City's Capital Budget was increased significantly resulting in
an increase in our debenture financing requirements. If the capital
program remains at this high level our debt levels will become
unmanageable. One major concern as our debt levels increase is our
vulnerability to increases in long-term interest rates.
4. Wage Costs:
Approximately 50% of the City's Operating Budget related to personnel
costs. Over the next 5-7 years the City can expect these costs to rise
significantly as the availability and competition for skilled workers
continues to rise.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
July 4, 2006
The City of Saint )obn
His Worship Mayor Norman McFarlane and
Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
RE: Financial Reporting & Pension Plan Administration
During the presentation ofthe annual Audited Financial Statements to Common Council
on May 23,2006 and more recently at the meeting of Common Council on June 5,2006 a
number of statements have been made which call into question the accuracy of
information presented to Council and the integrity of the City's professional staff and our
independent advisors.
Left unchallenged these statements leave an impression with the public that they may
have some validity. This is simply unacceptable and is the reason behind my writing to
Council at this time.
Financial Reporting
During the discussion on the 2005 Audited Financial Statements, Councillor Ferguson
stated that "there are errors and differences in the Financial Statements and no referenced
explanation or footnote."
It is the responsibility of the City's Finance Commissioner to ensure that accurate and
timely financial infonnation is presented to Common Council and the Public. With
regards to annual financial reporting, the Province of New Brunswick through Regulation
prescribes the standards that a municipality in this Province must adhere to in preparing
Financial Statements.
Once prepared, our annual financial statements are audited by an independent third party
professional accounting firm hired by Common Council. The purpose of their
engagement is to provide a written report to Council that the Financial Statements
prepared by management present fairly and reasonably the financial position ofthe City
in accordance with the prescribed reporting standards.
As a result of their work on the financial statements for the year ended December 31 ,
2005 the City's auditors did not find any errors in the financial statements except as
relates to the failure to record the solvency funding payments due to the City's Pension
Plan,
If Councillor Ferguson has specific information that he feels demonstrates an error in the
financial reporting then it is incumbent on him to table it with Common Council so that it
can be properly assessed and addressed. In the absence of such information I feel that the
Councillor's earlier comments should be publicly withdrawn so as to remove any
question regarding the credibility of the financial statements and the work performed by
City staff and the City's auditors.
Pension Plan Funding
One area that has drawn considerable discussion in relation to the financial statements is
the recording of a portion of the Pension Plan special payments owing in both the
General Fund and the Water & Sewerage Utility. There is clearly confusion over this
matter that I will attempt to address.
In the 2004 Financial Statements there was no recording of any amount related to funding
of the City's Pension Plan. This action was taken as the Actuarial valuation had not been
completed and discussions were still on-going with the Province relative to possible
exemption from the funding requirements.
At the time of preparing the 2005 financial statements it was clear that the City had an
obligation to fund at least the going-concern portion of the Pension Plan funding. As a
result there was a requirement to record the expense associated with the 2004 and 2005
amounts due to the Pension Plan. The total amount owing for the two years was
$8,139,159. This total amount owing to the Pension Plan was split between the General
Fund and the Water & Sewerage Utility on the basis of percentage of payroll associated
with each entity,
The decision to record the amount owing to the Pension Plan was not an arbitrary
decision of management. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards
the amount owing to the Pension Plan had to be recorded in this manner,
At the same time City staff had sent a request to the Province for an exemption from the
Municipal Accounting and Reporting Standards to allow for recording of the amounts
owed for 2004-2006 inclusive over a period not to exceed seven years. This action was
taken in an attempt to have our recording practice match the budget actions approved by
Common Council as part of the 2006 Budget process. Approval was received for this
request and the financial statements were adjusted accordingly.
Pension Plan Administration
By far the most disturbing comment to date was reference by Councillor Ferguson that he
hoped we did not have a "San Diego situation" here. The situation referred to is a case of
possible extortion from that City's Pension Plan by two members of Council. This type
of casual inference to serious criminal activity is deplorable.
Great effort is put into safeguarding the City's Pension funds. All monies are held by a
third party custodian, Royal Trust. All investments are made by professional investment
managers hired by the Plan's Board of Trustees based on their expertise and performance
record, The Fund is also audited on an annual basis and must file detailed reports with
both Provincial and Federal regulatory bodies.
Councillor Ferguson's concerns seem to have arisen over information provided by staff
related to the costs of the 2002 Early Retirement Program, Councillor Ferguson has
noted that he has proof that the actual costs to the City's Pension Plan are significantly
more than the amounts reported by staff.
As with the Financial Statement information noted earlier it is incumbent on Councillor
Ferguson to provide Council with any and all information he may have. The public's
interest can only be served if this information is presented and properly reviewed to
determine ifin fact it has any validity.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT: Bentley Crossing - Municipal Services Easement
BACKGROUND:
The Bentley Crossing development is occurring on their Chesley Drive property.
There is an existing Municipal Services Easement on the property adjacent to
Chesley Drive. This easement contains a waterline which was recently renewed
and properly located within the easement.
As illustrated on the building site plan (attached) the buildings are located clear of
the easement. However, there will be an increasingly higher embankment between
the building units and Chesley Drive. The developers wish to place a retaining
wall on the easement.
ANALYSIS:
While the developer could simply place fill on the easement area, it is proposed
that a curved retaining wall be placed on the easement using stackable blocks. The
wall would vary in height it would be no more than 4 feet. Initially the wall would
be approximately 225 feet long but would be extended to over 375 feet when the
development is complete.
As can be seen from the overall plan and the details of Block "COO the location of
the LPP (a First Nation's significant historic site) result in some units being
located close to the street. All units will be located free of the easement and have
their access from the new public street. The proposed stacked retaining wall will
be located between the street sidewalk and the back of the units. The wall itself
will be located on the rear portion of the individual lots being created.
RepOlt to Common Council
June 30, 2006

This wall will be located on the developer's property but this area is also a
municipal services easement. Normally easements are to be kept free of buildings
and stmctures so that the underground pipes can be maintained. Municipal
Operations staff has participated in various discussions and are satisfied that this
removable wall and the underground services can co-exist, but there will be an
extra cost associated with re-assembly of this type of wall. After considering a
number of options it was agreed that the developer should pay an amount that
would compensate the City for this additional reinstatement if and when it is
needed.
The Legal Department has advised that formal agreement will be required
between the developer and the City to permit this wall to be constmcted. The
amount of compensation has been calculated at $4,000 based on estimates of the
labour required for 10 days which could be required to re-instate such a wall.
The proposed wall should result in a better development and improved aesthetics
along Chesley Drive while a cash payment should compensate the City for any
extra effort that may be required in the future.
Given the amount of compensation involved the Finance department has
suggested that the amount be treated as revenue, and noted that compensation has
been received so that in the future it can be utilized if required.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City and Bentley Crossing Property Inc. enter into an agreement that
would allow for the proposed stacked retaining wall for a compensation amount
of $4,000 and the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute this
agreement.

Red Head Secondary Access Road - Inspection Services
BACKGROUND
On November 7, 2005 Council approved a Design Build Agreement between the City and
Irving Oil (M&C 2005-328) to constmct a new road from the Old Black River Road to the
Proud Road with an inter-connector to the Red head Road. This new road was named in the
Agreement as the Red Head Secondary Access Road.

incurred by the City in retaining a professional engineer duly licensed in the Province of New
Bmnswick to monitor and supervise the Developer's performance of the DB Work shall be
payable by the Developer to the City on a monthly basis.
ANALYSIS
The estimated cost of engineering monitoring and supervision of the Developer's performance
of the DB Work is expected to be in the $100,000 range but could be more. As previously
stated, all City costs associated with monitoring the performance of the work by the
Developer will be payable to the City by the Developer. Staff recommend the direct
engagement of Terrain Group Inc. for this work. The consultant engagement will be
conducted in accordance with the process approved by Council on Febmary 9,2006 for the
Engagement of Engineering Consultants - 2006 Capital Program (M&C 2006-31).

CONTRACT NO. 2006-18: EXPANDED ASPHALT STABILIZATION - 2006
BACKGROUND
The 2006 General Fund Operating Budget for Municipal Operations & Engineering and the
General Fund Transportation Capital Program include a provision for the in place pulverization and
stabilization of a number of streets in the City. This is an annual program to upgrade and maintain
deteriorating street surfaces under the maintenance and capital resurfacing programs.
This contract includes all work associated with the full depth reclamation and stabilization of
approximately 44,560 m2 of existing asphalt pavement and underlying granular base, including the
addition and blending of corrective aggregate as required. There are a total of 5 streets in this
contract.
TENDER RESULTS
Tenders closed on June 21, 2006 with the following results:
1.
Industrial Cold Milling Ltd.
Moncton, N.B.
$ 587,056.00
The Engineer's estimate for the work was $524,640.00.
M & C 2006-177
June 22, 2006
Page 2
ANALYSIS
The tenders were reviewed by staff and all tenders were found to be formal in all respects.
Staff are of the opinion that the low tenderer has the necessary expertise and the resources to
perform the work.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
This contract involves work that is to be charged to various operating and capital budgets.
Assuming award of this contract to the low tenderer, an analysis has been completed which
includes work that will be performed by City forces and others.
A review of the low tender was also completed to determine why there was a variance
between the lowest tendered price and the Engineer's estimate. This variance can be mainly
attributed to a slightly higher than expected unit price on expanded asphalt. The analysis
concludes that a total amount of $525,000.00 was provided in the various budgets and the
projected completion cost of the projects included in this contract is estimated to be
$527,986.88, including the City's eligible H.S.T. rebate - an $833.99 positive difference in
the General Fund Transportation Capital Program and a $3820.87 negative difference in the
General Fund Operating Budget. Adjustments will be made to certain projects within this
contract to ensure the budget envelopes are not exceeded.
RECOMMENDA TION
It is recommended that Contract No. 2006-18: Expanded Asphalt Stabilization - 2006, be
awarded to the low tenderer, Industrial Cold Milling, at their tendered price of$587,056.00
as calculated based upon estimated quantities, and further that the Mayor and ConUl1on Clerk
be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents.

Re: Quebec - Fiscal Partnership with Municipalities
An Agreement on a new Fiscal and Financial Partnership with Municipalities that has
been concluded in the Province of Quebec was cited as having some merit during the
recent meetings of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
The attachment highlights some of the key provisions of the multi-year partnership. Apart
from the particulars of the agreement, certain elements are worthy of note;
· It is a multi-year agreement that provides for both stable and predictable revenue
sources for municipalities. This is essential for long-term planning at the local
level.
· It is multi-faceted in that it goes well beyond just equalization and unconditional
grant transfers to reduce costs of solid waste and policing, adjust taxation of
provincial property and eliminate the need for municipalities to fund solvency
deficits in their pension funds.
· It provides for a steadily and substantial increase in transfers to municipalities
over the 7 year term of the agreement (from $406M to $747M).
· A significant component is the eventual full reimbursement of the Quebec Sales
Tax paid by municipalities.
. A guarantee that no municipality will receive less than it did in 2006 as a result of
the changes.
· It provides supplemental funding to the Quebec City and Montreal metropolitan
areas in recognition of their unique roles.
The approach adopted in Quebec is progressive in that it is a negotiated agreement, the
breadth of the funding considerations went beyond just unconditional transfers to address
other municipal cost issues, the total transfers to municipalities will increase and are
known with certainty over the term and finally there is a recognition that certain
municipalities have particular needs that warrant additional transfers from the Province,
The current unconditional grant funding arrangement in the Province of New Brunswick
will come to an end in 2008. The comprehensive approach to funding municipal transfers
adopted in Quebec could be presented as an effective precedent in future discussions with
the Province of New Brunswick on Provincial-Municipal transfers.
Recommendation
That this report be received and filed and a copy of this report be forwarded to the
Department of Local Government.

Highlights of the Fiscal and Financial Partnership 2007-2013
And Other Measures that Impact Municipalities
This is an unofficial abbreviated translation and adaptation of the highlights
presented at htto://www.mamr.qouv.ac.ca/finances/fina fisc oart.aso#texte
Main Components
Over the 2007-2013 period, the total amount that will be paid to municipalities under
the new Partnership will be $3,8 Billion.
. Unconditional grants to local governments and regional county municipalities are
almost doubled: from $388 Million in 2006, they will reach $747 Million in 2013.
. Equalization is increased and modified: from $36.8 Million in 2006 reaching $60
Million in 2013.
. The reimbursement of the QST is the main new recurrent revenue source,
. A guarantee that all municipalities will have a minimum gain through the
implementation of the Partnership Agreement compared to the base year, 2006.
The total amount under the Partnership does not include the following unconditional
grants:
. Compensation for the loss of the amusement tax revenues for the cities of
Montreal, Quebec and Laval ($55 Million);
. Assistance for local roads ($85 Million);
. Other payments in lieu of taxes as provided prior to the Partnership ($260 Million)
a total of: $400 Million in unconditional grants,
The Partnership agreement's main additional unconditional grants are provided by
the increase in the payments in lieu of taxes that represents $166.5 Million for
schools, universities and colleges, and hospitals, and the reimbursement of the
Quebec Sales Tax reaching 100% of tax paid by 2013, i.e. from $144,8 Million in
2007 to $472 Million in 2013.
The amounts for some of the measures included in the Partnership agreement (part
2, of the agreement) are not yet known. These include:
. The replacement of the present funding mechanisms dating back to 1995 for 911
services provided by municipalities by a government fee on all wired and wireless
telephone services, including Internet services, the proceeds to be redistributed
to local governments. The objective is to stabilize these revenues to the same
amount that is currently provided by the fees on wired services (approximately
$21 Million).
. The authority for local governments to impose fees on the operators of quarries
and sand pits located on private lands to remedy certain negative impacts of the
operation of these sites (in particular, damage to municipal roads). This measure
is not expected to produce a large amount of revenues,
. The revenues that municipalities will collect from the taxation of private thermal
generating plants are now known (the amount indicated in the agreement is the
estimated loss of public service tax revenues for the Government). Based on
plants in existence in 2003, these revenues are estimated to reach $2.4 Million.
. The amounts associated with the compensation scheme for the net costs of
separate collection, subject to data to be provided by a study: however, the
agreement states that the measures should tend to full compensation for the cost
of separate collection by 2010. Based on the costs for 2005, this measure is
expected to generate an additional $43 Million.
. As of June 7, 2006, the net gain for municipalities resulting from the
reimbursement of 85% of fees paid for the disposal of residual material will
represent a net gain of $25 Million.
. The total amount does not include $7.8 Million per year for the "Ville de Quebec"
under a separate agreement with Government as a grant to the "Capitale
nationale" (National Capital).
. The total increase in payments in lieu of taxes ($166.5 Million) does not include
the amounts linked to payments in lieu of taxes for State museums, the Grand
Theatre du Quebec, and the Bibliotheque and Archives nationales du Quebec,
which total $8 Million according to the 2006-2007 Budget.
The Partnership agreement does not impact conditional grants paid by the
Government of Quebec to municipalities.
Other Measures Announced in the 2006-2007 Budget
It should be noted that there are other measures that were included in Budget 2006-
2007 and are not part of the Fiscal and Financial Partnership, Over the 2007-2013
period, these measures will account for $1. 7 Billion dollars, These include:
. In the past, the contribution paid by municipalities for the services of the Surete
du Quebec was calculated according to a formula that considered the population
and uniformed assessment values. Originally, the municipal share was
approximately 50% of the overall cost, however, real estate values have
increased considerably, and thus, the municipal share has risen steadily whereas
that of the Government has diminished. The Government will gradually scale back
the overall contribution by 2009-2010: in 2006, municipal contribution will be
reduced to 59% (from 60% in the previous year), 57% in 2007, 55% in 2008,
and finally, 53% in 2009. (See Expenditure Measures, 2006-2007 Budget, p. 23).
. The Budget also announced that as of March 2007, the fuel tax refund for public
carriers would be increased from 33.33% to 100%. The refund totals $9,666,869
for 9 transit authorities, This refund is paid out transit authorities that are distinct
corporations from local governments. For biodiesel fuel, the refund remains at
100%.

SUBJECT: Acquisition of Two Provincial Properties
Adjacent to East Side of Champlain Drive
BACKGROUND:
Periodically, the Province of New Brunswick deems lands they own to be
considered surplus to their needs. If these lands are located within the City of
Saint John, they are first offered to the City, prior to public offering.
ANALYSIS:
The Province has offered to sell to the City two vacant parcels of land, identified
as PID Numbers 313718 and 55033500, located off Champlain Drive (see
attached map). These two parcels have a total area of approximately 19.35 acres
and had been excavated in the past.
The City owns much of the adjacent land. In the future, McAllister Drive may be
extended southward to connect with Grandview Avenue. This scenario has been
identified in the Municipal Development Plan and would ease traffic concerns as
this area continues to experience growth.
The purpose of this report is to bring forth a recommendation to Council for their
consideration to acquire the two parcels of land from the Province. The value is
reasonable considering the size of the property and is based on an appraisal
completed by the Province.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That The City of Saint John acquire the fee simple interest in two parcels
of land from the Province of New Bmnswick Supply and Services for
$12,000.00 plus H.S.T. (if applicable), identified as PID Numbers 313718
and 55033500, having a total area of approximately 19.35 acres, as
illustrated on the attached map, on or before October 6, 2006; and
2. that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute any document
required to finalize this transaction.

y our Worship and Councilors;
SUBJECT: Pedestrian Crossing, Somerset Street/St. Pius Church
BACKGROUND
At its April 2006 meeting, Council moved that staff consult with stakeholders to find a
solution for a pedestrian crossing on Somerset Street near the St. Pius X Catholic Church.
This followed Council's rejection of a report recommending that "the letter from St Pius
X Roman Catholic Church should be received and filed, and the requested traffic signals
not be installed." The Church had requested full stop, pedestrian activated traffic signals
in place of the RA5 crosswalk lights currently in place, and had offered to cost share in
the additional expense.
Staff has consulted with the principal and vice principal of Princess Elizabeth School,
Crescent Valley Tenants Association, and the authors of correspondence on the issue,
John Mackenzie of the District Education Council and Sharon Jacquard Communications
Officer, St Pius X Martha Guild, as well as Father McNeill of St. Pius. This report will
update Council on the issue.
ANALYSIS
Establishment of a safe pedestrian crossing on Somerset Street has been an issue for a
number of years for the parishioners of St. Pius X Church. The matter was before Council
in 2001, and RA 5 mid block pedestrian activated crosswalk lights were installed by the
City in response to the concerns. Previously, an amber flashing light had been installed.
M & C 2006 - 187
Pedestrian Crossing Somerset Street/St Pius Church
June 13,2006
Page 2
ANALYSIS (Cont'd)
Despite these measures the matter of a safe pedestrian crossing at this location remains a
matter of concern, not only for parishioners but others using the crossing as well. Father
McNeill and Sharon Jacquard reiterated concerns about drivers disregarding the signals
and driving through the crossing when pedestrians are using or attempting to use the
crosswalk.
They related several close calls where traffic in one lane stopped, prompting pedestrians
to enter the crosswalk and traffic in the next lane continued to move through, creating a
dangerous situation. The only solution, from their point of view, is to bring traffic to a
full stop with pedestrian activated traffic signals with an amber/red/green cycle.
John MacKenzie of the District Eight Education Council also expressed similar concerns
with children using this crossing. He suggested full stop pedestrian activated signals as
well, preferably at the intersection with Pugsley Avenue. The Principal and Vice
Principal of Princess Elizabeth School were contacted but there have not been any
concerns brought to their attention by parents or students at the school, and the Crescent
Valley Tenants Association was not aware of any issues at this location.
Somerset Street is an integral link in the North/South arterial from the downtown core of
the City to the Regional Hospital and Millidgeville area. There is a lot of traffic in both
directions. The standard design for an arterial street like Somerset is four traffic lanes,
two in each direction. There are three traffic lanes in the block of Somerset where the
Church is located between Churchill Boulevard and Cranston Avenue, two nmning uphill
past the Church in a southeast direction to the City Center and one running downhill
toward Millidgeville. The RA 5 crossing signals are located mid block directly in front of
the Church and the Pugsley Avenue intersection is some 50m further up toward the City
Center.
The most logical location for a set of traffic lights is at an intersection, in this case the
intersection with Pugsley Avenue. This would benefit vehicle movements from Pugsley
Avenue onto Somerset Street as well as pedestrian movements across Somerset Street.
This intersection needs to be redesigned as well as it is currently too wide to effectively
control traffic movements. The issue at this location for parishioners attending St. Pius
Church, and using the parking lots across the street, is the inconvenience of walking some
distance out of the way to Pugsley Avenue rather than crossing directly to the front door
of the Church. The mid block RA 5 crosswalk lights were seen as a potential solution to
this issue, but they have not proven out and should be removed.
M & C 2006 - 187
Pedestrian Crossing Somerset Street/St Pius Church
June 13,2006
Page 3
ANALYSIS (Cont'd)
In the interests of creating a safe and functional crossing for all pedestrians and vehicles
using Somerset Street, staff is of the opinion that pedestrian activated traffic signals
should be installed at Pugsley Avenue intersection, with loop detection for vehicles
entering from Pugsley, and the RA 5 crosswalk lights removed. Staff will also explore
the suitability of other traffic calming measures - reduced lanes, or lane widths, traffic
islands, speed humps and the like within this block of Somerset.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
The Saint John Police Force has been contacted and they are in favour of a traffic control
device to aid pedestrians crossing a busy street and that they are located in a position that
is safe for all pedestrians as well as vehicular traffic utilizing these streets.
RECOMMENDA TION
It is recommended that Council receive and file this report and support the recommended
actions outlined to install pedestrian activated traffic signals at Pugsley Avenue, remove
the RA 5 mid block crosswalk lights, consider and install such further traffic calming
measures as may be suitable for this location.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
OPEN SESSION
M & C 2006 ~ 183

City of Saint John
His Worship Norm McFarlane
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT
Provision of Compensatory Storage - A C Fairweather & Sons, 895 Ashburn Road
BACKGROUND
In early 1999 Common Council adopted guidelines respecting the sale of flood
storage which would allow developments in the flood risk area to proceed on land
parcels incapable of providing compensatory storage, Subsequent to adopting the
guidelines Council has authorized the sale of compensatory storage totaling 76,486
cubic metres. The vast majority of this volume has been provided for the
development of First Professionals on Westmorland Road (see attached). The sale of
this compensatory storage has facilitated development in the Westmorland Road area
in excess of $30 million. The City of Saint John, in advance of selling compensatory
storage, undertook construction projects along Golden Grove Road which resulted in
the creation of approximately 85,000 cubic metres of new flood storage.
The retention ponds, which accommodate approximately 85,000 cubic metres of
floodwater, accomplish three important objectives:
. Provision of flooding relief to the residents of Glen Falls.
. Allow continued development within the flood risk area,
. Provide compensatory flood storage for residents in the Glen Falls area who may
wish to improve their property or expand their building.
ANAL YSIS
In developing suggested guidelines for Council, staff acknowledged a fundamental
principal. Although development within the flood risk area has economic benefits for
the entire City, such development should not proceed if the potential exists for a
negative impact on the flooding situation in the Glen Falls area. With this underlying
principal, Council adopted the following guidelines:
M & C 2006 - 183
- 2 -
June 27, 2006
);;- The applicant must demonstrate to the Building Inspector that it is not practical to
provide any or all ofthe compensatory storage on the property being developed.
)0> The developer (or any affiliated company) does not own other property within or
adjacent to the flood risk area upon which the necessary compensatory flood
storage could reasonably be provided.
)0> Compensatory storage must be provided within the same designated flood risk
area of the displaced storage.
? Sale of compensatory storage must be approved by Council.
);> Costs per cubic unit to the developer will vary, dependent on the specifics of each
application.
)0> Monies received by the City in the sale of compensatory storage will be used
solely for Marsh Creek flood reduction programs,
);;- The City will at no time be in a deficit position resulting from the sale of
compensatory storage with respect to flood storage capacity,
> The City will not pre-sell any storage capacity in anticipation of a development
);> The City is at no time obligated to sell compensatory storage to any developer.
To date the City has not deviated from these guidelines,
The City has recently been requested by A C Fairweather and Sons to sell 563 cubic
metres of compensatory storage in order that they may expand the parking and
storage area at 895 Ashburn Road,
Presently the City has available 7,305 cubic metres of remaining compensatory
storage which could be made available to developers within the flood risk area. Ifthe
request is approved by Council the City will be left with 6,742 cubic metres
available. Whereas the creation ofthe retention ponds have played a significant role
in the development ofthis area, and further, whereas the retention ponds have
significantly alleviated the incidents of flooding in the Glen Falls area, the City
should consider locating other lands for construction of additional flood water
storage.
As Council will note from the adopted guidelines, the cost per cubic unit to a
developer will vary depending on the specifics of each application. As can be seen
on the attachment the initial price for compensatory storage was $4.60 per cubic
metre, then $5.41 per cubic metre, These prices were based on the actual cost to the
City for the construction of the retention ponds. The second phase of the retention
pond was smaller in scope than the initial phase, and consequently, carried a much
higher cost per unit. The Engineering Department has calculated that the best figure
M & C 2006 - 183
- 3 -
June 27, 2006
for unit cost is now $10.75. The developer has been advised and has agreed to this
price subject to Council approval.
As shown on the attached, the City still has available 7,305 cubic metres of storage in
its retention ponds. The sale of this needed 563 cubic metres can be supported,
The sale, if approved by Council, will result in revenues of $6,052.25,
RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends that
. A C Fairweather & Sons be advised that Common Council will sell compensatory
storage, calculated at the rate of$1O.75 per cubic metre, for each cubic metre of
flood storage displaced by the development, up to 563 cubic metres, at their
development on Ashburn Road, and
. this report be received and filed.

JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to
Common Council concerning the vesting of public streets in conjunction with the subdivision ofland.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
That Common Council assent to the submitted City of Saint John Subdivision, situate at the corner of
Millidge Avenue and Somerset Street (PID 47381 and 55084750), with respect to the vesting ofa
parcel of land having approximately 200 square metres (2,150 square feet of area as a public street,
and assent to the vesting of any necessary public utility easements and municipal services easements.
BACKGROUND:
On April 24, 2006 Common Council resolved to sell the subject site subject to any necessary
municipal services easements / easements for municipal services, and subject to the following terms
and conditions:
a) placement of access to the subject property from a public street is subject to approval by the
Chief City Engineer or his designate, and a restrictive covenant that the placement of access,
as approved by the City Engineer will not be enlarged, amended, extended or replaced, unless
prior written approval has been obtained by the Chief City Engineer or his designate;
b) the subject property must be connected to municipal water and sewer services, prior to any
occu pancy of the building;
c) that a restrictive covenant be placed on the deed/title limiting the development of this site to a
single-family dwelling; and
d) if construction of the above said building, including the foundation for the dwelling, has not
commenced within six months of the transfer of the property to 600608 NB Ltd., the City has
an option to repurchase the subject property within 90 days of the City giving written notice
to the purchaser and that the repurchase of the said property shall be for $3,500 and that the
Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to sign any necessary documents required to finalize
this transaction.
A subsequent title search by the Legal Department, in conjunction with the preparation ofthe transfer
documents, revealed that a portion of the existing Somerset Street had never been properly vested as
a public street.

Corner of Millidge Avenue and Somerset Street
Page 3
June 12, 2006
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Municipal Operations and Engineering supports the proposal.
Building and Technical Services has no concerns with this proposal.
ANALYSIS:
The subject site is situated at the corner ofMillidge Avenue and Somerset Street as shown on the
attached map. The surrounding area contains a mix of residential, institutional, commercial, and light
industrial uses, and a large vacant property located northeast of the subject site is currently zoned
"RS-2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential.
The subject site, owned by the City of Saint John, is currently vacant. The parcel having PID
55084750 currently contains only a concrete barrier, a section of curb face, overhead utility lines and
a steep rock face. A portion also extends into the travelled portion of the street at the intersection of
Millidge Avenue and Somerset Street. It is proposed that this portion be vested as part ofMillidge
Avenue and Somerset Street in conjunction with the sale of the balance of the land. A 5.0 metre
(16.4 foot) wide easement on the front portion of the parcel having PID 47381 is being proposed for
the provision of municipal and public services.
The land proposed to be vested as a public street has been used as a portion ofMillidge Avenue and
Somerset Street for years, and the formal vesting of the land is only required at this point due to the
sale of the adjacent land by the City. Due to the long-standing use of the lot for public street
purposes the proposal has not been circulated to residents in the vicinity. A request for comments has
been circulated to Building and Technical Services and Municipal Operations and Engineering
however, and neither department has expressed any concerns.
Common Council's assent to the City of Saint John Subdivision Plan is recommended.

Deputy Mayor and Councillors:
RE: 2005 Annual Report of the City of Saint John Pension Plan
INTRODUCTION
On behalf ofthe Board of Trustees of the City of Saint John Pension Plan I am pleased to
provide the following report on the activities of the Board during the 2005 calendar year.
At the time of submitting this report the Board is aware of the Special Meeting requested
by Common Council to discuss various aspects of the Plan's financial position and
operation. We welcome the opportunity to have this meeting with Council that will
include a number of the expert advisors used in administering the Plan.
In general terms the Board administers the City's Pension Plan in accordance with the
provisions of the City of Saint John Pension Act, the Provincial Pension Benefits Act and
the Federal Income Tax Act. The City's Pension Plan is a defined benefit program with
employee contributions set at 8.5% of gross earnings and employer contributions set at
8.1 % of gross earnings.
The 2005 Calendar year has been another extremely busy one for the Board of Trustees,
Areas of focus have been Disability Management, Board Governance and diversifYing
the Fund's investment portfolio. Each of these items will be discussed in greater detail
below.
The net assets of the Plan at December 31, 2005 were $327,161,340 (2004-$283,683,610)
and these funds are invested by the Board in accordance with an established investment
policy. A copy of the 2005 Audited Financial Statements is attached with this report.
It should be noted that the Pension Plan continues to record a receivable from the City for
funding due related to the Plan's solvency deficiency. The Pension Benefits Act requires
that a so14ency deficiency be funded over a period of 5 years unless an exemption is
Explore our past/ Explorez notre passe
Discover your future Decouvrez votre avenir
"
Gra.nd Bay-Westfield . Quispamsis . Rothesay . St. Martins Saint John
granted to fund over a period of not more than 15 years. The funding amount set-up by
the Plan assumes that the City will fund the solvency deficit over 15 years, This is t;:1ore
completely disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements on page 7 attached.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Funds assets are managed by five investment managers with an asset mix of 35%
Canadian Fixed Income and cash, 35% Canadian Equities, 10% US Equities, 10% ip Real
Estate and 10% Foreign Equities. '
The Board completed a comprehensive update of its Investment Policy in 2003 and;
reviews the Policy provisions on an annual basis, One area of continued interest to :the
Board is the increasing popularity of alternate investments that offer an absolute ret~rn
strategy, The desirability ofthese types of investments is that they have the potenti~l to
offer reasonable investment returns that are not in any way affected by the ups and downs
in the stock market or other investment markets. This would greatly add to the diversity
ofthe Fund's Investments and the Board has concluded that it would like to see up to
10% of its portfolio in this type of investments.
One action taken by the Board this past year has been the addition of a real estate ~nd as
part of the Investment portfolio. The Board has directed that up to 10% of the Funds of
the Plan be invested in this Real Estate Fund.
INVESTMENT MANAGER PERFORMANCE
Over the past year the investment earnings on the Pension Fund's assets averaged L7.4%.
By contrast the portfolio return, representing average market returns for a similar t~rm of
investments as those carried by our Plan, saw a growth of only 10.6% during the sl:\me
period. The returns are also far bettcr than our long-term targeted return of CPI pltJs
3.85% which for 2004 equated to a 6% return.
The Pension Plan's assets are managed by six professional investment firms as follows:
US Equity
EAFE Equity
~ Addenda Capital
- Standard Life
-. Kingwest
- Letko Brosseau
- Burgundy Asset Management
~ Philadelphia Investments
Fixed Income
Real Estate
Canadian Equity
The Board of Trustees meets with each the Investment Managers twice a year to r~view
their perfonnance and discuss emerging trends in the investment markets. The Bo~d also
retains API Asset Performance Inc. to provide an analysis of our manager's perfor,mance
in comparison with other managers with similar holdings.
DISABILITY MANAGEMENT
Over the past two years the Board has completed an extensive review ofthe proced*es it
follows in approving and administering applications for Long-Term Disability, The:
Board was assisted in this review by Leudey Consultants, a firm from Halifax that '
specializes in benefit administration, As part of this review a Call for Proposals waS
issued for adjudication support services and the Board has now engaged Lifemark Health
Services to provide this service.
As part of their work Lifemark will be reviewing all new applications for disability and
making recommendations to the Board for approval or denial. In addition they will ;be
reviewing the cases of all existing Long-Term Disability recipients to determine if they
continue to be eligible for benefits under the Plan.
BOARD GOVERNANCE
During 2005 the Board also initiated a Call for Proposals for assistance in reviewin~ and
enhancing various aspects of the governance function of the Plan. The Board has npw
engaged McInnes Cooper Roberston from Halifax to carry out this review and their; work
will be completed in 2006.
ACTIVE AND RETIRED PARTICIPANTS
The number of active participants in the Plan was 867 while the number of retired ,
participants stands at 725. The impact of the high percentage of pensioners in rela#on to
active members really shows on the current fund balances as detailed in the Pension
Fund's Annual Financial Statements. In 2005 we see that the total contributions in~o the
Plan from employees and the employer were $7,895,596 and the total pensions pai~ were
$l6,660,839,
With historically low interest rates the size of this pensioner liability has a signific*nt
impact on the over-all funding position ofthe Plan.

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Trustees:
We have audited the statement of net assets available for benefits of The City of
Saint John - Pension Plan ("the Plan") as at December 31, 2005 and the statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audi t.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Plan as at December 31, 2005 and the changes in its
financial position for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles,

The CUy of Saint John - Pension Plan
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005
1. PLAN SUMMARY
The Pension Fund is the accumulation of Plan assets used to fund pensions under the revised
City of Saint John Pension Act as enacted on May 12, 1994, as amended to April 28, 2001.
The Act is administered by a Board of Trustees representing Common Council of the City of
Saint John ("the City"), management:, unionized employees, non-unionized employees and
retired employees. The Plan is also subject to the provisions of the New Brunswick Pension
Benefits Act which became effective January 1, 1992.
The assets of the Plan are held by the Royal Trust Corporation of Canada which acts as
custodian of the Plan. The assets of the Plan are managed by five different investment
managers who have discretionary investment authority within the investment mandates given
to them by the Board of Trustees. The performance of the Plan relative to others is measured
on a regular basis by API Asset Perfonnance Inc.
Significant features of the Plan are as follows;
. The Plan provides for pensions on the defined benefit basis at the rate of 2% per year of
service times the average of the three consecutive years of service having the highest salary,
The Plan also provides for disability allowances and survivor benefits.
. The Plan provides indexing at the rate of 1 % per year on the basis of service between
January 1, 1975 and December31, 1992 and at the rate of2% after January 1, 1993.
. The Plan is funded by employees contributing 8-1/2% of salary and the employer
contributing at least 7% of salary. The employer is obligated to make additional
contributions, if necessary, to adequately amortize any unfunded liability or solvency
deficiency. The employer is currently contributing at a rate of 8.1 % of salary.
· Contributions become vested after tw"o years.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
These fInancial statements are prepared on the going concern basis and present the aggregate
financial position of the Plan as a separate fInancial reporting entity independent of the
sponsor and plan members. They are prepared to assist in reviewing the activities of the Plan
for the fiscal period but they do not portray the funding requirements of the Plan or the benefit
secwity of individual plan members.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of accounting
The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly,
dividend and interest income is accounted for as earned rather than when received.
Basis of valuation of investment assets
Investments are stated at published market valuations,
Pooled fund investments and earnings
Certain of the Plan's equity investments are held via units of pooled equity funds. Income
earned on these funds is retained within the fund and reflected as part of the current period
change in market values.
Foreign currency translation
Investments denominated in United States dollars are translated at the year end rate of
exchange. Foreign exchange gains and losses realized on disposal of United States dollar
investments are included as a component of the current period change in market values of
investments.
3. ACTUARIAL V ALVA TION
(a) The 2003 actuarial valuation indicated the present value of accumulated plan benefits was
$300,780,300 and the adjusted market value of net assets available to provide benefits
was $257,233,100 with an estimated unfunded liability of $43,547,200 on a going
concern basis.
As of December 31, 2003 the liabilities on a solvency basis were $88,852,300 greater
than the solvency assets.
The significant actuarial assumptions adopted for purposes of the 2003 report were as
follows:
Retirement will occur at the earlier of age 65 or attainment of combined age and
service of 88 years. This produces an average assumed retirement age of 58,5 years,

3. ACTUARIAL VALUATION (continued)
Valuation assets were taken as the book value plus the sum of one-third of the
difference between the market and book values of the assets at each of the three most
recent year ends. The value is then limited to no more than the market value of assets
at the valuation date. This is the same method as was used in the previous valuation,
except that the method produced a value less than the market value at that time and
there was no limit put on the value.
The following are the assumed rates used in the valuation:
Investment earnings rate
Inflation rate
Real rate of return
Salary increases
8.0%
4.0%
3.85%
4.5%
per alll1um
per annum
per annum
per annum
The projected writ credit actuarial cost method was adopted for purposes of the valuation,
The benefit at retirement is projected for each member based on the assumed increases in
earnings. Equal units of this projected benefit are assumed to accrue in each year of
service, The present value of the portion of the projected benefit deemed to be accrued
for service to the valuation date is calculated for each member based on the assumptions
outlined above.
The total accrued liability is the aggregate of the accrued liabilities determined for each
individual member. The total accrued liability is then compared with the assets as at the
valuation date 10 determine the surplus or unfunded liability at that date.
Similarly, the present value of the portion of the projected benefit deemed to accrue in
respect of the years of service following the valuation date is detennined for each
individual member. The total nonnal actuarial cost is equal to the sum of the individual
nonna] actuarial costs so ca]culated for each member. The residua] norma] actuarial cost
is the excess of the total nonnal actuarial cost over the member's required contributions.

4. FUNDING DUE FROM THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN
The New Brunswick Pension Benefits Act requires that a solvency deficiency be funded over a
period of 5 years unless an exemption is requested to fund over a period of no more than 15
years, or the period to December 3],2018, whichever is shorter. This exemption has not been
requested by the City of Saint Jolm.
As an exemption has not been obtained, the maximum funding period is 5 years from
December 3],2003. The rninimwn funding payment as a level percentage of payroll to fund
the solvency deficiency over 5 years is 15.3% starting in 2004.
The New Brunswick Pension Benefits Act requires that special funding payments to liquidate a
solvency deficiency are to be made in equal monthly installments commencing on the review
date of the actuarial valuation, December 31, 2003. Accordingly, a receivable has been
recorded on the Pension Plan's Statement of Net Assets in the amount of $14,261 ,000 (2004 -
$7,059,000) to cover 2004 and 2005 special funding payments not received during these years
along with an interest component at 8%. Additional payments are required from 2006 to
2008.
There are no tenns of collection regarding this amount with the City of Saint John and
therefore the timing and final settlement of this amount cannot be determined.

His Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane and
Members of Common Council
y our Worship and Councillors:
Heritage conservation and development can co-exist in Saint John. Indeed in the heritage
areas they are one and the same. Stimulated by the Grants lor Heritage Conservation
Program new life is being breathed into numerous uptown buildings. The Preservation
Areas echo with the sounds of jobs and constmction activity.
Commercial Development
On King Street, projects so far this year include fa<;ade and storefront restoration of the
Shaw building (next to Royal Bank), Pascal Emerson and Tim Horton's. Development
continues on the next phase of Heritage Place/CentreBeam. On Prince William Street
several new restaurants have opened including Opera Bistro and Elwoods. Work has
recently been approved on the Commissionaires building at Chubb's Corner.
Social Housill1!
On Germain Street five social housing development projects have been approved to receive
over 40% of the 2006 funds approved by Council for the Grants lor Heritage Conservation
Program.
Residential
Several residential property owners encouraged by incentives available in the Grants lor
Heritage Conservation Program are upgrading the thermal performance of windows and
rebuilding/repointing masonry walls to ensure they remain safe and sturdy. Other property
owners are preparing conservation plans and prioritizing development activities to ensure
that they get the best value through well spent dollars on conservation development.
-2-
As a result of this intense level of heritage development the $50,000. budget for the Grants
for Heritage Conservation Prof!ram approval by Council for 2006 has already been
allocated. The report from the Heritage By-law Review Committee recommended
increasing the budget to the $150,000. level of 1993. In their presentation to Council, the
Heritage Development Board indicated that a business plan supporting this
recommendation would be developed prior to budget discussions for 2007 - work on it
continues. Members of the Board respectfully suggest that the pro(?f is in the pudding as
heritage developments surround us with jobs and constmction activity on every corner.
When advised that funds for the Grants lor Heritaf!e Conservation Prof!ram were already
nearly completely allocated for 2006, a number of property owners indicated they would
have to consider delaying their heritage development project until next year. This would
indeed, be unfortunate.
The Heritage Development Board requests approval of an additional $50,000. funding for
the Grants lor Heritaf!e Conservation Program for 2006, so that heritage conservation
development can continue to revive the historic central peninsula of Saint John.

Re: July 4, 2006 Agenda: Signage for the Tucker Park Beach
It has come to the attention ofa few citizens of Saint John that there is no signage for
Tucker Park Beach; neither at the beginning ofthe road nor at the water front. The
Conservation Council of New Brunswick held an event at Tucker Park Beach last year
and it was noticed then that there was no signage, leaving people to their intuitions to
locate the Park.
Please receive this letter as a request to replace the signage to Tucker Park Beach on both
the road and on the beach; please place this issue on the Common COlUlcil agenda for
July 4th. 2006. It is important for the citizens of Saint John to know where the park is.
Thank you for your attention.

Your Worship and Councillors,
The announcement the Federal Govenunent will spent over a half of a million
dollars for renewal and expansion at the Martello Tower site is a strong recognition that
Martello Tower is a significant Historic feature in Saint John.
The work being done will enable visitors to spend more time at the site and get
more in depth information about the City's History.
The New Brunswick Historical Society suggests it would be appropriate if the
Common Council, representing all the citizens of Saint John, adopted a resolution of
appreciation to the Federal Government for providing for the enhancement of one of
Canada's National Historic sites and adopt a resolution requesting it to do so.
