3.1 City Manager: Pension Plan Reforms
95 -629
COMMON COUNCIL/CONSEIL COMMUNAL
NOVEMBER 22, 2010 /LE 22 NOVEMBRE 2010
Deuxieme lecture par titre de I'arrete intitule Arrete modifiant ('Arrete de zonage de
The City of Saint John
The City Manager indicated that he has held meetings with the various employee groups
to present the proposed pension reform options. He explained that the management,
professional and non -union group of employees and CUPE Local 18, which he noted
represent approximately 50% of the organization's workforce, have agreed to Option A
as outlined in the submitted report.
Mr. Woods stated that IAFF Local 771, the Saint John Police Association, and CUPE
Local 486 did not consent to Option A. He noted that the Saint John Police Association
submitted its own proposal in which it recommended the creation of a separate plan for
the police officers. He further added that CUPE Local 486 indicated that it would not
support Option A if it included a wage freeze.
95 -630
COMMON COUNCIL/CONSEIL COMMUNAL
NOVEMBER 22, 2010 /LE 22 NOVEMBRE 2010
Mr. Woods advised that if Council were to consider any additional reform proposals it
could result in further delays the pension reform process.
Referring to the submitted report, the City Manager recommended that Council endorse
Option A for the management, professional, non -union group of employees and CUPE
Local 18. He stated that he is recommending Option B for IAFF Local 771, the Saint
John Police Association, and CUPE Local 486, noting that only a small window of
opportunity remains for the three groups to agree to Option A.
In reference to the contribution obligations of $4,968,977 owed by the City of Saint John
to the pension board as of June 30, 2010, Mr. Woods explained that this amount
increases by approximately $750,000 per month. He stated that the City has a
requirement to pay the outstanding funds in the year 2010, advising that funds are not
available in the City's 2010 budget. He noted that the City is seeking regulatory relief
from the Province of New Brunswick to defer the payment for one year.
Mr. Woods stated that the Provincial Government of New Brunswick will decide whether
to approve the proposed amendments to the pension plan and whether to grant
regulatory relief. He advised that should the proposed changes not be approved at the
Provincial level it could result in a 17 cent tax rate increase for the citizens of Saint John
and a 25 cent increase for local businesses.
Responding to a question concerning the 293 employee provision of the CUPE Local 18
collective agreement, Mr. Woods stated that attempting to negotiate this provision out of
local 18's collective agreement would likely result in a strike from the union, which he
noted could derail the pension reform process.
On motion of Councillor McGuire
Seconded by Councillor Snook
RESOLVED that Common Council:
1) Direct the City Solicitor, in conjunction with the Plan Actuary, to draft the necessary
amendments to the City of Saint John Pension Act so as to effect the following changes

4) Direct the City Solicitor, in conjunction with the Plan Actuary, to draft the necessary

possible to initiate the required regulatory and legislative amendments.
8) Authorize the City Manager to finalize a Letter of Agreement with Local 18 consistent
with the terms set out in Schedule B.
The Deputy Mayor proposed an amendment to the motion that newly hired employees
would receive defined contribution benefits and that an extension of the Local 18
agreement not be provided.
The Common Clerk advised that an amendment must be in addition to the motion on the
floor and not contrary to the original motion, noting that the proposed amendment
contravenes the motion on the floor.
The Deputy Mayor stated he supports the pension reform proposal, however, that he is
against the motion as he believes that all new hires should receive a defined contribution
plan rather than defined benefits, further noting that the provision in the collective
agreement for a guaranteed number of 293 employees for CUPE Local 18 should be
removed.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with the Deputy Mayor and
Councillors Higgins voting nay.
3.1 Directeur general Reformes du regime de retraite
Le directeur general indique avoir organise plusieurs reunions avec les differents
groupes d'employes afin de presenter les options envisagees dans le cadre de la
reforme des pensions. II explique que les cadres, les employes membres de professions
liberates et les employes non syndiques, ainsi que la section locale 18 du Syndicat
canadien de la fonction publique, laquelle, it fait remarquer, represente environ 50 des
effectifs de la municipalite, ont choisi I'option A telle qu'elle est definie dans le rapport
presente.
M. Woods declare que la section locale 771 de ('Association internationale des
pompiers, la Saint John Police Association Inc. et la section locale 486 du Syndicat
canadien de la fonction publique ont rejete ('option A. II souligne que la Saint John Police
Association Inc. a presente sa propre proposition pour la reforme des pensions et qu'a
cet egard, elle recommande la mise en place d'un regime distinct pour les agents de
police. En outre, it ajoute que la section locale 486 du Syndicat canadien de la fonction
publique a fait savoir qu'elle ne soutiendrait pas ('option A si celle -ci comprenait un gel
de salaires. M. Woods annonce que dans le cas ou le conseil envisagerait d'autres
95 -632
COMMON COUNCIL/CONSEIL COMMUNAL
NOVEMBER 22, 2010 /LE 22 NOVEMBRE 2010
propositions de reforme, cela risquerait de retarder davantage le processus de reforme
des pensions.
Mentionnant un rapport soumis, le directeur general recommande que le conseil
approuve I'option A pour les employes membres de professions liberates et les
employes non syndiques, ainsi que pour la section locale 18 du Syndicat canadien de la
fonction publique. En outre, it recommande, par defaut, I'option B pour la section
locale 771 de ('Association internationale des pompiers, la Saint John Police
Association Inc. et Ia section locale 486 du Syndicat canadien de Ia fonction publique,
ajoutant qu'iI ne reste que bien peu de temps a ces trois groupes pour choisir ('option A.
Faisant reference aux cotisations reglementaires de 4 968 977 que The City of
Saint John devait au conseil de retraite des employes en date du 30 juin 2010,
M. Woods precise que cette somme augmente d'approximativement 750 000 par mois.
II souligne que la Ville est tenue de payer la dette en 2010, rappelant toutefois qu'il n'y a
pas suffisamment de fonds dans le budget de 2010 de Ia ViIIe pour y parvenir. II fait
remarquer que Ia ViIIe tente d'obtenir un assouplissement de Ia reglementation de Ia part
de Ia province du Nouveau Brunswick, et ce, afin de reporter le paiement dune annee.
M. Woods declare que le gouvernement du Nouveau Brunswick prendra les decisions, a
savoir s'il souhaite approuver les modifications proposees au regime de retraite et
accorder I'assouplissement de la reglementation. II souligne qu'un rejet, a ('echelon
provincial, des modifications proposees pourrait entrainer une augmentation de 17 cents
du taux d'imposition pour les citoyens de Saint John et de 25 cents pour les entreprises
locales.
En reponse a une question posee concernant la clause la convention collective de la
section locale 18 du Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique relative aux 293
employes, M. Woods declare que le syndicat ferait certainement greve si I'on tentait de
negocier le retrait de cette clause de la convention. II ajoute que cette greve risquerait
alors de faire derailler le processus de reforme des pensions.

12.1 City Manager: Sandy Point Road Planning Study
On motion of Councillor Higgins
Seconded by Mayor Court
RESOLVED that Nayan Gandhi be invited to
present the Sandy Point Road Planning Study to Council.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Referring to a submitted presentation and report, Nayan Gandhi, Planner, stated that
Council passed a resolution on August 17, 2009 which directed the Planning Department
to initiate the Sandy Point Road Planning Study. He explained that the following four
stages of the five stage project are now complete: 1) to appoint an independent
consultant; 2) prepare a Technical Background Report; 3) for the consultant to undertake
a public engagement exercise; 4) Common Council to receive the consultant's report.
Mr. Gandhi indicated that the final stage in the process involved planning staff reviewing
ADI's Statement of Professional Opinion (SPO), the Rockwood Park Advisory Board's
recommendations, public comments on the SPO, and departmental feedback. He
outlined the highlights of the final report and he presented the recommendations
respecting future land use for the property within the study area.
Mr. Groody was asked about the status of the closure of the Spruce Lake and Howe's
Lake dump sites, to which responded that the city has not been able to proceed due to
lack of provincial funding.
Responding to comments from Council members, the Commissioner of Planning and
Development stated that the Sandy Point Road Planning Study was undertaken after the
City received two unsolicited development proposals for the subject area. He noted that
his department is recommending limited development in specific areas, stating that
Council will chose when to bring the properties in question to the market.
Responding to a query regarding whether the public could provide input on the
submitted Sandy Point Road Study, Mr. Gandhi stated that the public consultation period
in the process has ended. He noted that there will be a number of opportunities during
the land rezoning process for the public to comment on the proposals.
A question was raised concerning what restrictions could be placed on the design and
building materials for future developments on the subject site, to which Mr. Forrest

of the city have the first concern.

2.1 Directeur general Etude de planification portant sur le chemin
Sandy Point
Proposition de la conseillere Higgins
Appuyee par le maire Court
RESOLU que Naman Gandhi soit invite a venir
presenter I'etude de planification portant sur le chemin Sandy Point devant le conseil.
A I'issue du vote, la proposition est adoptee.
Faisant reference a une presentation eta un rapport soumis, Naman Gandhi, urbaniste,
declare que le conseil a adopte une resolution le 17 aout 2009 visant a mandater le
Service d'urbanisme pour entreprendre I'etude de planification portant sur le chemin
Sandy Point. 11 explique alors que sur les cinq etapes que comprend le projet, quatre ont
ete achevees. Voici ces quatre etapes en question 1) nommer un expert conseil
independant; 2) preparer un rapport technique de base; 3) demander a I'expert- conseil
de mener a bien un exercice d'interessement du public; 4) remettre le rapport de
I'expert- conseil au conseil communal.
M. Gandhi precise que dans le cadre de la cinquieme etape du processus, le personnel
charge de I'urbanisme devait examiner la declaration d'opinion professionnelle de la
societe ADI, les recommandations emises par le Conseil consultatif du parc Rockford,
les commentaires du public a regard de la declaration d'opinion professionnelle, et les
commentaires du Service d'urbanisme. II souligne les faits saillants du rapport final et il
presente les recommandations faites a regard de ('utilisation future des terres du secteur
a ('etude.
A la question qui lui est posee relativement a I'etat d'avancement de la fermeture des
sites d'enfouissement du lac Sprue et du lac Howe, M. Godoy repond qu'il reste
plusieurs phases a achever pour chaque site. A cet egard, it signale que la Ville n'a pas
pu les terminer faute d'avoir regu des fonds suffisants de la part de la province.
En reponse aux commentaires adresses par les membres du conseil, le commissaire
d'Urbanisme et developpement declare que ('etude de planification portant sur le chemin
Sandy Point fait suite a deux demandes spontanees visant a ce qu'un projet
d'amenagement soit entrepris dans le secteur en question. II souligne que son service
recommande que I'amenagement soit limite a certains secteurs et il precise que c'est le
conseil qui decidera du moment oil les proprietes en question devront etre mises en
vente.
En reponse a une question posee, a savoir s'il est possible que le public participe a
('etude presentee portant sur le chemin Sandy Point, M. Gandhi declare que I'on ne
solliciterait pas davantage la participation du public a regard de cette etude. II souligne
que, dans le cadre du processus de rezonage des terrains, le public aura d'autres
occasions de faire part de ses commentaires a regard des propositions.
Une question est soulevee concernant le type de restrictions que I'on pourrait imposer a
regard de la conception et des materiaux de construction pour les travaux
d'amenagement futurs se deroulant sur le site propose. M. Forest repond que le
personnel recommande que chaque propriete soit assujettie aux conditions imposees
par ('article 39.
En reponse a une question posee, M. Gandhi declare ignorer si les citoyens qui ont
redige les lettres de soutien au projet d'amenagement du chemin Sandy Point sont des
residents de The City of Saint John ou non, et il fait remarquer que les lettres ont toutes
fait ('objet de la meme attention durant le processus. En outre, it explique que dans le
cadre dune etude scientifique, lorsqu'il est question de la gestion des biens appartenant
a une municipalite, les residents de la municipalite en question sont les premiers a etre
consultes.
A la question qui lui est posee relativement aux recommandations qui apparaissent dans
le rapport et qui concernent les parcelles enclavees, M. Gandhi repond que celles -ci se
trouvent dans la zone la plus sauvage du parc. En outre, it precise que les terres situees
aux abords du chemin Sandy Point n'ont pas fait ('objet de recommandations visant a en
faire des parcelles enclavees en raison des effets nocifs du sel de voirie et de la
pollution sonore.
A ('issue du vote, la proposition est adoptee.
