JULY 18, 201 VLE 18 JUILLET 2011
3.1 Proposed Subdivision — Cedar Point Anchorage Subdivision
The City Solicitor advised that Council's treatment of the Cedar Point Anchorage
subdivision plan is limited to Council considering the proposed public streets and lands
for public purposes within the subdivision. He advised the decision to assent to the
subdivision should be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Subdivision
By -Law.
Mr. Nugent explained that a number of requirements with respect to the placement of
public streets are outlined in the subdivision by -law as it currently exists, noting that a
developer is entitled to have the current requirements applied to an application for a
subdivision.
Referring to the Planning Advisory Committee recommendation for Council to consider
amending the subdivision by -law to require a secondary access road in certain
circumstances, Mr. Nugent stated that should such an amendment be made to the by-
law, it would govern subdivision applications that are received subsequent to the
change. He explained that there is currently not a requirement in the by -law for a
secondary access road, noting that is not a consideration that should give rise to Council
refusing to assent to the subdivision plan.
On motion of Councillor Farren
Seconded by Councillor Sullivan
RESOLVED that Common Council:
1) assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or more phases, in general
accordance with the submitted Cedar Point Anchorage Subdivision, Phase 7 tentative
plan, as well as to any necessary municipal services and public utility easements, on the
condition that the plan is amended to include a 6 metre wide Land for Public Purposes
dedication in the vicinity of proposed Lots 36 -G to 42 -G between Anchorage Avenue
(extension) and the Nature Trust of New Brunswick Inc. property (PID number
55198436); and
2) authorize the preparation and execution of one or more City / Developer Subdivision
Agreements to ensure provision of the required work facilities, including detailed site and
drainage plans for the approval of the Chief City Engineer or his designate, and any
required contributions to the pumping station and potential force main upgrades, as well
as any additional infrastructure costs associated with this proposed subdivision
development.
Councillor Farren expressed concerns that a secondary access road was not
constructed in the subdivision, noting that Council had previously imposed this condition
on developer in an earlier phase of the development.
Mr. Nugent stated that it is his understanding that a secondary access road was a
condition imposed during a previous phase of the subdivision, noting that he has serious
doubt whether Council could impose this condition as a binding obligation in the
subdivision scheme.
Mr. Forrest advised that staff did not recommend a secondary access road, noting that
this condition was added by the planning advisory committee and by Council in 2007. He
stated that the developer did acquire land for a secondary road, adding that the road
was never constructed.
Councillor Sullivan stated that he could not support the motion due to the large size of
the subdivision with only one access road.
Councillor Higgins stated that she will vote against the motion due to her concerns with
impact of future development on drainage in the subdivision, noting that the
neighbourhood currently experiences drainage problems during storms.
Mr. Groody advised that detailed engineering consideration would be given to this
project to to ensure that the situation is not made worse for those who live downstream.
He noted that his department has an obligation to halt the development if the
engineering is not adequate for the circumstances.
Question being taken, the motion was defeated with Councillors

Court, Farren, Higgins, Norton, Snook, Sullivan voting nay.
3.1 Projet de lotissement — Cedar Point Anchorage
L'avocat municipal indique que le traitement du plan de lotissement Cedar Point
Anchorage par le conseil se limite a 1'6tude des rues et des terrains publics proposes a
des fins publiques a l'interieur du lotissement. 11 precise que la d6cision d'approuver le
lotissement doit etre d6termin6e conformement aux dispositions de I'Arrete de
lotissement.
M. Nugent explique qu'un certain nombre d'exigences en rapport avec le placement de
rues publiques sont d6crites dans 1'arret6 sur le lotissement comme it existe
actuellement, et it mentionne qu'un promoteur a le droit de demander I'application des
exigences actuelles a une demande de lotissement.
Se reportant a la recommandation du Comit6 consultatif d'urbanisme que le conseil
envisage de modifier 1'arret6 sur le lotissement afin qu'il soit possible d'exiger une vole
d'acces secondaire dans certaines circonstances, M. Nugent precise que si une telle
modification 6tait apport6e a 1'arret6, elle r6girait les demandes d'am6nagement de
lotissement qui seraient reques par la suite. 11 explique qu'a 1'heure actuelle, 1'arrete ne
prevoit aucune exigence pour une vole d'acces secondaire, mais que cela ne devrait pas
entrainer le refus par le conseil d'approuver le plan de lotissement.
Proposition du conseiller Farren
Appuy6e par le conseiller Sullivan

OPEN SESSION

Mayor Ivan Court and Members of
Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Peel Plaza Update
In consideration of the public interest in the Peel Plaza project, it is appropriate that staff report to Council,
on a periodic basis, on the progress of the various elements comprising the project.
Peel Plaza is an ambitious Municipal /Provincial project involving the significant expenditure of public
monies, and as such all aspects of the project must be clear, transparent, and open to public scrutiny. To
facilitate this objective, staff wish to make a presentation to Council. Following the presentation, Council will
have an opportunity to ask any questions that may arise, and make comments.
It should be noted that staff make more regular presentations to the Peel Plaza Steering Committee to seek
input, and take direction from that Committee. However, the Common Council is the true sponsor of the
project, and therefore must be kept well informed and provided with timely information.
Respectfully submitted,
Wm. Edwards, P.Eng.

Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Sydney St. Courthouse
The Sydney St. Courthouse will likely be vacated in due course with the opening
of the new Courthouse at Peel Plaza. This is a prominent building in the City core
with considerable historical significance. It would likely fall into disrepair if it
were to be left unoccupied for any length of time.
The City should explore the possibility of acquiring this property and what other
use(s) it may serve should the Province of New Brunswick declare it surplus to
their needs.
Recommendation
Resolved that the City Manager be directed to investigate the possible acquisition
of the Sydney St Courthouse from the Province of New Brunswick and report
back on a timely basis.

Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Standing Committee System
Common Council has discussed the implementation of a standing committee
system on a number of occasions. This governance model will be more efficient
for Council, provide an opportunity for Councillors to develop a better
understanding of the issues before them, allow Councillors to be more involved in
setting the direction for the community and ultimately should improve the quality
of our decision making.
We need a commitment to have this model fully developed and a plan put in place
for implementation for the incoming Council. It may also be beneficial to start
the implementation process early in the New Year to allow for a smooth
transition.
Recommendation
Resolved that the Common Clerk be directed to prepare the necessary By -law
amendments and develop a timely process for implementation of a Standing
Committee System.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT: COUNCILBUDGET- SALARIES
Common Council has decided that it has no appetite to reduce the number of Councillors citing the
importance of citizen representation. My point in first raising the issue remains the same, the Council
needs to show leadership and set an example in reducing costs.
Leaving the number of Councillors the same and reducing the Council salaries by 40% would achieve the
same financial result and still allow the desired level of representation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Resolved that the City Solicitor be directed to prepare the necessary By -law amendments to reduce the
salaries of Council by forty percent beginning in January 2012.

Subject: Traffic Restrictions on Uptown Streets During Outdoor Market
The City of Saint John has seen increased popularity, year over year, of our Canada Day
uptown market. Large crowds fill our King St. and Charlotte St. sidewalks. The most common
remark I hear from the public is that this is a wonderful event, inevitably followed by the opinion
that King St. and Charlotte St. should be closed to traffic during this popular outdoor market.
Although this may be impractical for public transit, emergency vehicles, participating venders,
and individuals with disability placards, perhaps restriction of other vehicles would lessen
congestion on crowded sidewalks. This may prove to enhance the experience for everyone, as
well as increase public safety.
Motion: That Council request traffic restrictions on applicable uptown streets during
Saint John's annual Canada Day Outdoor Market
With Respect,
Councillor

MEETING OF JULY 19, 2011
REVIEWED BY:
Jody Kliffer Ken Forrest, MCIP, RPP
Planner Commissioner
SUBJECT:
Name of Applicant: City of Saint John (Real Estate Services)
Name of Owner: David Blizzard
Location: 111 Molson Avenue
PID: 00394999
Municipal Plan: Low Density Residential
Zoning: "R -2" One and Two Family Residential
Proposal: To vest an undeveloped property as a public street.
Type of Application: Subdivision and Variance to allow the vesting of the street right -
of -way to create a through -lot at 126 Montreal Avenue.
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 of land.
91
City of Saint John (Real Estate Services)
111 Molson Avenue
Page 2
July 15, 2011
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to grant reasonable
variances from the requirements of the Subdivision By -law. The Committee can impose conditions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
1. That Common Council assent to the submitted City of Saint John tentative subdivision plan that
would vest a total area of approximately 600 square metres (6,458 square feet) from PID number
00394999 as part of the Molson Avenue public street right -of -way.
2. That the Planning Advisory Committee grant a variance to permit the property at 126 Montreal
Avenue to have frontage on two public right -of -ways, subject to the following condition:
a. That Municipal Operations and Engineering place a guardrail along the rear property line
of the subject property to ensure the adjacent property does not use the subject site as a
means to access their property.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Municipal Operations and Engineering has no objection to vesting this parcel as an undeveloped
public street. The vesting will enable the City to develop the subject site as a street, enabling it to be
used for infrastructure or possibly for storm water management. The most practical use of this land will
be determined at a future time.
Buildings and Inspection Services has been advised of this application.
ANALYSIS:
The subject area is situated off Molson Avenue on the City's west side. The site is located at the end of
Molson Avenue and is currently a vacant lot.
The owner of the subject property, David Blizzard, approached the City's Real Estate Department with a
proposal to sell the subject site to the City in order to facilitate the manoeuvring of large city vehicles
that service this street. After reviewing the proposal, staff agreed to purchase the entire property and vest
it as part of the public right -of -way. The proposal is supported by the Municipal Operations and
Engineering Department.
Should Council approve the proposed subdivision and vesting of the subject site as an extension of the
Molson Avenue public right -of -way, the property located at 126 Montreal Avenue will consequently
have frontage on two public right -of -ways (Montreal Avenue and Molson Avenue). Therefore, a
variance is required from the standards of the Subdivision By -law to enable a property to have frontage
on two public right -of -ways, whereas frontage on no more than one public- right -of way is permitted.
92

As a condition to the approval of the variance, it is recommended that Municipal Operations and

the adjacent property at 126 Montreal Avenue does not use the subject site to access their property.

July 25, 2011
His Worship Mayor Ivan Court
& Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: Dress Uniforms — Fire Department
BACKGROUND
The City of Saint John
At its meeting of March 14, 2011, Common Council removed from its agenda the
recommendation to award dress uniforms for the Fire Department and in its place adopted
the following resolution.
"RESOLVED that Council request that Local 771 delay the acquisition of
new dress uniforms as outlined in the submitted report M&C 2011 -38 -
Tender for Fire Department Dress Uniforms for a period of one year due
to the City's current financial situation. "
The intent of the resolution was to explore an opportunity that could help defer operating
costs in 2011. The deferral request was presented to I.A.F.F. Local 771 and also reviewed
by Fire Administration. The purpose of this report is to respond to the resolution of March
14, 2011.
ANALYSIS
Uniform Clothing Program
As part of the Collective Agreement between the City of Saint John and I.A.F.F. Local
771, the City provides fire fighters with uniform clothing on a five -year cycle. During
years one to four of the uniform clothing cycle, each fire fighter receives two work shirts
and two pairs of pants each year and a pair of work boots every second year. During the
fifth year of the uniform clothing cycle, fire fighters receive a dress uniform (in lieu of
Report to Common Council
Page 2
work pants, shirts and boots). 2011 is the fifth year in the uniform clothing cycle (i.e.,
dress uniform year).
NFPA 1975: Standard on Station/Work Uniforms for Emergency Services
The City of Saint John adheres to various standards issued by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), one of which pertains to work issue clothing. NFPA 1975 endorses
the use of fire retardant work pants and shirts or, at minimum, 100% cotton uniform
clothing.
Life Span of Cotton Uniform Clothing
The work issue clothing provided by the City is 100% cotton. Cotton is the less expensive
option when complying with NFPA 1975. Conversely, cotton garments fade and age
relatively quickly (compared to polyester fibre garment). It was been the experience of the
Fire Department that it is difficult to get more than a year out of work pants and shirts.
Subject to the nature of the emergency call, sometimes a cold water wash and a tumble dry
on delicate does not offer the peace of mind a fire fighter needs to feel that he /she did not
bring home an unwanted contaminant. Work issue clothing is often subject to harsher
washing and drying than recommended by the garment manufacturer. Subsequently, the
colourfast and life span of the garment are shortened. It has been the experience of the
Fire Department that cotton work issue clothing will last between 0.8 to 1.5 years,
depending on manufacturer and level of care.
Implications of Deferring the Purchase of Dress Uniforms to 2012
With the 2011 and 2012 operating budget being capped at I% over the previous years, a
deferral of the dress uniforms to 2012 would inadvertently cause a deferral of the work
issue clothing until 2013. At this time, it is forecasted that the 2012 budget will not sustain
both the purchase of dress uniforms as well as work issue clothing. As Council is aware,
the discretionary component of the overall Fire Department budget is very limited.
To defer work issue clothing until 2013 would create both a professional appearance issue
and a budget issue for the City. The life span of the current stock of work pants and shirts
is only 1.5 years at best. Crews have already been wearing their last work issue since the
February to June time frame of 2010 (staggered issuance). To defer the next issuance of
work issue clothing until 2013 means that crews have to wear their current work issue for
over 2.5 years, well in excess of the expected life span of the garments.
Keeping in mind that not all emergency calls require the wearing of structural firefighting
gear, there is a public expectation that emergency responders wear some kind of uniform
clothing. Uniform clothing is what readily identifies emergency responders from civilians
at an emergency scene. The Fire Department would inevitably have to purchase work
pants and shirts to address the need to keep fire fighters in uniform clothing.
97
Report to Common Council
Page 3
Position of LA.F.F. Local 771
It is the membership of Local 771 that wear the above mentioned work issue clothing and
dress uniforms. This same membership is well aware of potential issues associated with
deferring the dress uniforms to 2012. After much debate and vetting of alternative
solutions, the membership of Local 771 resolved to recommend that 2011 remain a dress
uniform year albeit they were open to a late or even 2012 delivery of the dress uniforms, if
it financially helps the City.
Position of Fire Administration
In response to Council's request, Fire Administration reviewed several alternatives to
address Council's request, such as flipping clothing years (i.e. make 2011 a work issue
year and 2012 the dress uniform year). However, flipping clothing years only defers the
dress uniforms and does not result in budget savings.
It is the role of City Administration to implement the wishes of Council. It is also the role
City Administration to advise Council of any negative impacts of a proposed course of
action. To defer uniform clothing for one year has compounding negative impacts, as
noted above.
Tender Results
As noted in M &C 2011 -38, the tender for Dress Uniforms for the Fire Department closed
on Wednesday December 22, 2010 with five companies responding by submitting bids.
All bids were complete and samples provided for evaluation. The tender called for a 10.5
ounce poly /wool /lycra material in a dark navy colour (or equivalent). The Fire
Department's Uniform Clothing Committee reviewed the samples for: compliance to the
preferred fabric; quality of fabric; as well as tone of colour.
In summary, the Review Committee ruled out the fabric /garment submitted by Carleton
Uniforms Inc. due to the look and tone of the fabric. Carleton Uniform's fabric is too
different from past fabrics in both look and tone. The look and tone of the fabric samples
submitted by D. Marks Uniform Ltd., CFM Uniforms, J &M Murphy, Uniform Works Ltd.
were all generally consistent and similar to past dress uniforms. With all things being
generally equal (from the remaining acceptable samples), the Review Committee
recommended the vendor with the lowest bid, being CFM Uniforms.
Report to Common Council

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Funds have been budgeted in the 2011 budget to accommodate the Dress Uniform
Program.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the tender submitted by CFM Uniforms for the supply of dress
uniforms, for the total cost of $63,995 plus tax, be accepted.

�^
The City of Saint John
SUBJECT: Proposed Citv of Saint John Ice Time Allocation and Management
Policy
On Monday, August 30, 2010 Common Council was presented with the results of the
Recreation Infrastructure, Facilities and Programming (IFP) Inventory Study prepared by
ADI Limited.
One of the recommendations of the IFP Study was the preparation of an ice allocation
policy for the City of Saint John. Common Council subsequently approved Leisure
Service's request to engage the consulting services of ADI Limited (now known as exp
inc.) to consult with arena user groups, conduct research and draft an arena ice time
allocation and management policy. The policy if approved by Common Council would be
used by Leisure Services as the guiding policy for the allocation of ice time for user groups
at the 4 arenas owned and operated by City of Saint John.
BACKGROUND:
Despite Saint John's declining and aging population, the overall demand for prime ice time
has increased due to increased frequency in games, practices and training, and a higher
level of usage by sports organizations.
The City has sufficient prime and non -prime ice time to meet the overall demand yet
increased prime time demand has created a challenge in achieving fair and balanced access
for Saint John residents.
Establishing allocation criteria to better manage ice time is a key component to professional
management of arenas. The present system of ice time allocation is based solely on past
practice and in the absence of a comprehensive policy involves a lot of ad hoc decisions and
confusion on the part of user groups.
The objective of the policy is to provide user groups with better customer service and a
standardized approach to allocating ice time. The policy reflects community values and
guiding principles such as optimizing usage of ice, access and equality, youth sport
development, diversity, partnership and financial sustainability.
1 Charles Gorman, Hilton Belyea, Peter Murray, Stewart Hurley Arena(s)
100
The Ice Allocation Policy has been developed to address the changing demographics,
market supply of indoor ice, the distribution of ice in a fair and equitable manner, and the
successful ongoing management of ice. The Policies identified in this document establish
and clarify the City's responsibility for ice allocation and administration and its'
commitment to the efficient management of City facilities.
ANALYSIS:
Staff of Leisure Services has worked with the consultant (exp Inc.) to complete a
consultation process including preparation of a research paper of best practices submitted to
users groups of City arenas followed by a survey questionnaire and a public information
meeting with user groups on March 28, 2011.
The research paper prepared by exp Inc. included recommendations and options based upon
existing policy and practices from no less than sixteen (16) municipalities from across
Canada.
Client priority, residency requirements and standard of play will form the basis for the total
number of hours of ice time allocated to leagues, associations and user groups.
Common Council should be aware that the implementation of this ice allocation policy may
result in some user groups being redistributed from "historical or legacy" ice time slots. In
the administration of the new policy staff will make all reasonable effort to minimize
impacts on existing user groups. Nevertheless, Leisure Services anticipates that the most
substantive impact will be upon organized adult user groups that have historically received
excellent access to prime ice to the detriment of other users groups.
Staff will closely monitor and review with user groups the impact of the new policy on their
organization. If adopted by Common Council, Staff would begin utilizing the new policy
beginning this fall for the 2011/2012 season.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Common Council adopt the completed "Arena Ice Time Allocation
and Management Policy" as provided in Attachment "A ".

Mayor and Members of Council
City of Saint John
PO Box 1971
Saint John, N.B.
E21- 41-1
Dear Members of Council:
Next year will be the centennial of powered flight in New Brunswick. This flight took off
from the mudflats of Courtenay Bay in 1912. This is the same general area where the
first manned aircraft flight in Canada took place in 1840 - the balloon `The Star of the
East'. Saint John is the birthplace of both Canadian and New Brunswick aviation.
You are probably unaware that at the Council meeting of 28 March 1944, the City
adopted a night - fighter squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force. That Squadron
became 410 (City of Saint John) Squadron, RCAF. Our Squadron was a highly
successful night- fighter squadron.
When the Squadron was disbanded after the war our City affiliation ended. That
Squadron was later reconstituted and today is 410 Tactical Fighter (Operational
Training) Squadron at CFB Cold Lake, AB. Over the years many Saint John residents
served with that Squadron_ I have been aware of this City affiliation since 1983.
To commemorate the centennial of powered flight in New Brunswick, I have been in
contact with the Canadian Air Force. I propose that the City of Saint John re- establish
our distinguished historic ties with 410 Squadron of the Canadian Air Force. I have
discussed this with your Cultural Affairs Officer who supports this initiative. The N.B.
Turnbull Chapter of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society, the Friends of the N.B.
Military History Museum and 250 (Saint John) Wing, Air Force Association of Canada,
all support this initiative. As well, Senator Joseph Day, and former City Councillor
Christopher Waldschutz, also support this endeavour to re- establish our affiliation with
410 Squadron. The Honourable Trevor Holder, MLA, Minister of Wellness, Culture and
Sport supports this as part of my idea to establish an aviation park in the City next year.
Additionally, I have been in communication with a member of the Chief of the Air
Force's staff, as well as the Commanding Officer of 410 Squadron. They are also
excited by the possibility of re- establishing this affiliation. I am proposing that should
you proceed with this initiative, that this ceremony take place in September 2012 during
the Annual Conference of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society.
While there is no cost nor obligations placed on the City, there are many tangible and
intangible benefits. I am listing a few which quickly come to mind. The Squadron, which
flies the CF18 Hornet, could be granted the symbolic Freedom of the Sky's over Saint
John, similar to the Army tradition of being granted the Freedom of the City. During civic
129
ceremonial occasions, when military involvement is wished or needed, our Squadron
could be given the opportunity to participate. During Remembrance Day ceremonies,
Air Cadet inspections, and similar military functions, our Squadron would be invited, and
might be able to participate.
Additionally, the Squadron aircraft could include our Corporate Seal as an image on
their aircraft as well as on unit signage. We could include their symbol, a Cougar, on
our civic signage, web site and letterhead. Our school students and citizens could be
encouraged to adopt a member of the Squadron to write to; we could send a traditional
`care' package to the Squadron members as they did during the war - but this time
instead of cigarettes we would include local things like dulse! The list of ideas could go
on and on.
You may ask, why do this with the Squadron in Alberta?. Well, I will partially reply that
the 403 (Helicopter) Operational Training Squadron at CFB Gagetown is the (City of
Calgary) Squadron. Distance is not a barrier to that Squadron nor the City of Calgary.
As part of the collections of the N.B. Military History Museum at CFB Gagetown, the
Museum owns a CF 100 Canuck and a CF 101 Voodoo. Our Squadron flew both those
aircraft as well as the famous F86 Sabre. The Museum's CF 100 will be repainted in the
livery of 410 Squadron. Another aircraft which our Squadron flew was the F86 Sabre.
A Sabre, repainted in the colours of the Golden Hawks, and a World War Two Lysander
which was used at the RCAF Station Saint John, will be at the Saint John Airport (YSJ)
(Turnbull Field) Open House on Wednesday, 24 August. The previous evening,
Tuesday, 23 August, the pilot of the Sabre, LtColonel (retd) Dan Dempsey, will give a
free public presentation on the history of Canada's aerobatic teams. LtCol. Dempsey
twice flew with the Snow Birds. This free presentation is open to the public and will be
held at the St. Josephs Church H.O.P.E. Hall on Loch Lomond Road from 6 -7pm.
There is considerable information online about the Squadron's distinguished history, its
Battle and Squadron Honours_ A summary of that history is attached. I ask that the City
of Saint John re -add another one of those honours to the Squadron and to our City.
Please re- establish this link so once again we may have a 410 (City of Saint John)
Squadron, Canadian Air Force.
Yours sincerely,
E21- 4R7

Dear Mr. Wright
Re: Support to Saint John City Council
Our Wing supports the request from Mr. Wright to reestablish the affiliation with
410 Tactical Fighter (Operational Training) Squadron and the City of Saint John. We at
250 RCAF (Saint John) Wing, Air Force Association of Canada, ask that you give your
full support to this initiative.
The City of Saint John over the years has done much to show support to our
military whenever they have had the chance with Red Friday Rally, Mayors levee at
HMCS BRUNSWICKER, using Harbour Station Arena for Remembrance Day
Ceremonies to mention a few. To know that there is a Military unit out there that bears
the Name City of Saint John and that we have lost touch with seems out of place. A
renewed relationship with 410 Squadron will also give Saint John connection to all three
branches of service which I do not believe that many city's can claim.
During the Second World War, the support that Squadrons received from member
cities was greatly appreciated, and very much a morale boost at a time of need. Today,
with all the operations going on, I am sure that units would be pleased to know we still
think of them and support our city name being used by them.
I hope that the city council will give this motion a favourable decision and look
forward to seeing this affiliation with 410 (City of Saint John) Squadron reestablished.

Subject: Cenotaph Project and Aviation Park Development
Thank you for providing me with a copy of your proposal for the Cenotaph Project
and Aviation Park Development at the M. Gerald Teed School in Saint John.
1 was proud to be able to unveil the commemorative plaque recognizing the
significance of the Saint John Municipal Airport, Millidgeville Provincial Heritage
Place on November 29, 2010. The affiliation of this site with the 410 Squadron
adopted by Saint John during the war adds another layer of history.
The creation of a cenotaph, recognizing all those from the greater Millidgeville
community who have and are serving in the Canadian Armed Forces and in
memory of accident victims, is a noble endeavour. Further, the development of
an aviation park at M. Gerald Teed School is so appropriate.
As Minister of Wellness Culture and Sport, I support the Cenotaph Project and
Aviation Park Development initiative.
The Proposed Cenotaph Project and Aviation Park Development is a great
example of a community- driven, heritage awareness project. I want to commend
you on your efforts in this regard and in all your heritage initiatives.

Thank you for your letter of May 16, 2011. 1 am very interested in maintaining
410 Squadron's history and heritage. It seems an excellent objective to re- establish the
historical link between the Squadron and the city of Saint John, NB.
I have asked our squadron historian to research the photos and information you

Please keep me apprised of any developments so I can better understand the

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
M &C 2011 — 201
July 27, 2011
His Worship Mayor Ivan Court
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council,
SUBJECT: SANDY POINT ROAD/HARRIGAN LAKE AREA RESTORATION
1n
The City of Saint John
The purpose of the report is to update Council on a January 31, 2011 direction concerning
reinstatement of a 5.2 hectare parcel of City land adjacent to Harrigan Lake.
BACKGROUND
At its meetings of April 14 and May 20, 2003, Council adopted a series of
recommendations to improve water services to the University of New Brunswick Saint
John (and the Regional Hospital), make significant pumping station upgrades, and loop
the water system from University Avenue along Sandy Point Road to Kennebecasis
Drive. In addition, wastewater services were to be provided along a part of Sandy Point
Road and the roadway realigned and reconstructed. On August 18, Council awarded a
contract for the service upgrades and roadway reconstruction at a cost of approximately
$5.1 million, with a later contract award for the pumping station improvements.
Construction on Sandy Point Road began (service extensions and road reconstruction)
began in 2004. As part of that work, a future development area was created on City parcel
PID #00418129 near Harrigan Lake. In addition to a storm sewer service for a portion of
Sandy Point Road, approximately 30,000 m3 of material, blasted and excavated from
along Sandy Point Road, was engineered to be placed there. The rock backfill was
designed to suitably allow for future residential development. The objective at the time
was to secure the fiscal viability of the project — minimize construction costs and support
future residential development to help defray those costs.
ANALYSIS
Restoration of this site to its original pre - constructed state would be very involved and
costly. First, a suitable alternative public location for the considerable amount of fill
(30,000 m3) would have to be found. Second, a budget allocation in the order of $810,000
plus HST would be required.
Other alternatives would be more feasible and possibly better serve the interests of all
concerned. In consultation with Leisure Services, draft cost estimates were prepared for
two other options: #1 - basic site re- naturalization; and # 2 - a park trailhead.
140
SANDY POINT ROADMARRIGAN LAKE AREA RESTORATION Page 2
M &C 2011 — 201 July 27, 2011
Option #1 would include design and survey for the rough grading, importing and placing
of common fill and topsoil, hydro- seeding, raising existing municipal infrastructure
covers to the new final grade, removal of damaged plant materials at the forest edge and
planting of trees and shrubs. The estimated cost of this option is $260,000 (plus HST).
Option # 2, that incorporates Option # 1, would add an access and gravel parking area for
approximately 10 cars, stone -dust walkway connections, a seating area (benches, trash
receptacle and structure) and signage. Estimated cost is $316,000 (plus HST).
The estimates herein are preliminary, based only on draft concepts; actual costs could be
higher. Also, expenditures at this location are not currently budgeted. Detailed design and
consultation would need to be carried out before any remediation work could take place.
On June 6th, staff met with the SPRNG neighbourhood group. The dialogue was
productive and these citizens expressed their overall concerns and requested participation
in any proposed plans for the area. Options were discussed. The following summarizes
the points raised:
1. Concerned with any drainage / runoff from site to Harrigan Lake;
2. Cusack property and drainage mentioned — noting matter was being dealt with
separately (by other staff);
3. "Quick Fix" restoration at Sandy Point Road entrance of site would be
positive - a major concern is seeing the vacant land;
4. Residents want to be consulted and able to provide comments on any
proposed plans for the area;
5. Any future parking lots — as per #4 above; and
6. Residents vision for Rockwood Park — northern end for wilderness.
The group was receptive to an interim measure ( #3 above) in the near future until
comprehensive Park plans are completed. A design would have to be completed for
budgeting and remediation in 2012 or a future budget.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Common Council refer this matter to the City Manager for
consideration, along with other greenspace improvements, in the 2012 budget.

SUBJECT: Public Plaza / Peel Plaza Project
At the June 20, 2011 meeting of Council, the following recommendation was adopted (M &C 2011 -155)
"RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report M &C
2019 -955: Engagement of Architectural Consultant/ Pee/ Plaza Project Public Plaza,
notwithstanding the City's Procurement Policy for engagement of professional
services, Common Council authorize staff to conduct negotiations for the engagement
of Glenn Group Ltd. for the design and construction management services required for
the Public Plaza component of Peel Plaza. "
The purpose of the Council resolution was to allow staff an opportunity to have discussions with the Glenn
Group Ltd., with the objective of establishing a rate structure for the design completion and construction
management for the Public Plaza.
As Council is aware the Glenn Group Ltd. has already completed a considerable amount of the required
design, in anticipation of the City entering into a P3 arrangement. The P3 process was subsequently
abandoned in favour of the more traditional ownership model.
It was felt prudent to have discussions with the Glenn Group Ltd. whereas it was a reasonable expectation
that the cost associated with design completion, tender ready documents, and construction management
would be substantially less than competing proposals from other consultants who did not have the
background knowledge held by the Glenn Group Ltd.

August 8, 2011
As indicated in M &C 2011 -155, staff were to have discussions subsequent to which a recommendation
would be made to Council to either further engage the Glenn Group Ltd., or to call for proposals.
Discussions have been held with the Glenn Group Ltd. wherein expectations and scope of the project were
clearly identified along with desired timelines for the project. These discussions have resulted in staff being
comfortable in making a recommendation to Council to engage Glenn Group Ltd. for this project.
Whereas the Glenn Group Ltd. had completed a document of "output specifications" for the P3 process, the
work in completing the detail design specifications is significantly diminished then would be the case if the
City were to start from the beginning. The Glenn Group Ltd. has taken this into consideration and adjusted
their fees to reflect the diminished scope of work. The Glenn Group Ltd. have provided a proposed fee
schedule to complete the design, prepare tender ready documents, provide contract administration and
construction supervision. Their financial proposal for this work is consistent with industry standards, with
the exception of the detail design, which is substantially less due to their previous experience. Staff are
satisfied with this proposal from the Glenn Group Ltd.
Council are advised that prior to completion of the final design documents, public session(s) will be held in
order to solicit input from the Steering Committee and the general public prior to calling tenders.
RECOMMENDATION
RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report M &C 2011 -207: Public
Plaza / Peel Plaza Project, Glenn Group Ltd. be engaged for the design and construction management for
the Public Plaza component of Peel Plaza, in accordance with the submitted proposal.

SUBJECT: Enaaparner t of Architectural Consultant / P" Plaza Project / Public Plaza
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to request that Common Council authorize staff to conduct appropriate
negotiations to engage a landscape architectural consultant to complete the detailed design and provide
construction management services for the construction of the Public Plaza component of Peel Plaza. The
engineering design is to include tender ready documents.
BACKGROUND
In April of 2007 Common Council authorized the engagement of Daniel K. Glenn Ltd. for the preparation of
tender ready documents for the Police/Justice Civic Plaza. At that time no consideration was given to
construction management of the project whereas decisions had yet to be made with respect to the timing of
the project and the structure (i.e. P3 or traditional ownership).
Subsequent to Council's approval Daniel K. Glenn Ltd. began working on conceptual renderings for the
North of Union Development. As these concepts and renderings evolved, the City made the decision to
fully explore the P3 concept in order to ensure the best value to the City.
The P3 process differs from the traditional tendering process in a number of ways. Specifically, as it relates
to the Plaza construction, the architect of record is required to produce output specifications for the project
in contrast to tender ready documents. The Glenn Group Ltd. (fonnerly Daniel K. Glenn Ltd.) scope of work
was adjusted accordingly and completed.

Report to Common Council
Page 2
June 15, 2011
The City of Saint John, after careful consideration, made the decision to construct Peel Plaza using
traditional tendering and ownership models. Additionally, the timing of the project was adjusted, physical
aspects of the components altered, and specific budget targets for each component were identified by
Council.
CURRENT STATUS
With the exception of the Public Plaza area, the components of the Peel Plaza project are well underway. A
decision was made in early 2010 to defer the construction of the Plaza until the construction of the Police
Headquarters, the Law Courts, and the Municipal Infrastructure were substantially complete. This decision
was made for practical/timing considerations.
It is practical to begin construction of the Public Plaza in the Spring of 2012. In order for this to happen,
detailed drawings of a scaled down Public Plaza project must be completed; and a provision for
construction inspection services must be included.
Whereas the Glenn Group have already completed a considerable amount of the required design, it is likely
in the City's best interest to re- engage Glenn Group for the completion of the design for tender ready
documents and for the engagement of construction management through to completion. It is anticipated
that Glenn Group could perform these services much more competitively than another competing landscape
architectural firm. Staff are, therefore, seeking Council's authority to negotiate these services directly with
Glenn Group. Subsequent to the conclusion of negotiations, staff would then make a recommendation to
engage Glenn Group Ltd., or in the alternative, recommend a different course of action.
Staffs expectation is to complete the design prior to the end of 2011, call and award tenders early in 2012,
and begin construction in late March or early April 2012.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Council in February of 2011 approved an amount $1,400,000 for 2011 and $1,000,000 for 2012 for the
Public Plaza component of Peel Plaza.
RECOMMENDATION
Notwithstanding the City's Procurement Policy for engagement of professional services, Common Council
authorize staff to conduct negotiations for the engagement of Glenn Group Ltd. for the design and
construction management services required for the Public Plaza component of Peel Plaza.

The City of Saint John
The 2011 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program includes funding for upgrades to the
Champlain Heights Water Pumping Station. The majority of this project is scheduled to be
started by the end of the 2011, with remaining work completed in 2012.
The project includes funding necessary to engage engineering design and construction
management services to complete the following:
• Part A - Site Surveys, Preliminary Investigation and Data Collection
• Part B - Preliminary Design, Cost Estimates and Design Report
• Part C - Public Consultation
• Part D - Detailed Design
• Part E — Tender Period Services, Materials Testing & Inspection, Red Books and
Record Drawings
• Part F — Construction Management
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to make a recommendation for consulting engineering services for
this project.
ANALYSIS
On May 26, 2011, with a detailed scope of work document developed by staff, a proposal for
consulting engineering services was requested from Dillon Consulting. In response to this
request, Dillon Consulting submitted a proposal on June 21, 2011. Staff was previously
authorized to conduct negotiations with this consultant for engineering services for the
Champlain Heights Water Pumping Station Upgrades project.

• Christopher Petrie,
Superintendant, Water Treatment Facilities
• Dean Price, P.Eng.
Municipal Engineer, Municipal Engineering
• David Logan, CPPB
Purchasing Agent /Manager, Materials and Fleet Management
Each member completed an independent review of the submission and, subsequently, a Review
Committee meeting was held to jointly discuss the information presented in the Dillon
Consulting proposal. The submission from Dillon Consulting met all of the requirements of the
request for proposal in a manner acceptable to the Committee, with a cost effective bid for the
project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The proposed cost of the work for Dillon Consulting to provide design and construction
management services is $77,572 including the City's eligible HST rebate based on an estimated
4 week construction management period. An amount of $435,000 is included in the 2011 Water
& Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program to cover the cost for design, construction and
construction management.
Engineering fees to cover the cost of design and construction management generally range
between 12 -17% of the total overall project cost, depending on the nature of the project and the
engineering services required. The upset fee for this proposal is approximately 17.8% of the
total overall project cost, which is considered appropriate for this type of project based on size
and complexity.
POLICY — ENGAGEMENT OF ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS
Notwithstanding the City's Procurement Policy for engagement of Professional Services,
Common Council has authorized staff with the approval of M &C 2011 -98 to conduct
negotiations for the engagement of an engineering consultant for this project. The costs incurred
by the consultant will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Request For Proposal at the
rates submitted and accepted in the consultants proposal not to exceed the Recommended
Minimum Hourly Rates as contained in The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies —
New Brunswick fee guideline. The Construction Management component of this project fee is
based on an estimated construction period. The final fee will be calculated based on the actual
construction management period.

SUBJECT: Proposal for Water Meters
BACKGROUND:
Proposals closed on July 14, 2011 for the establishment of a one year supply
agreement for water meters. The water meter industry has undergone some
significant change in recent years and it is believed the new metering technology will
be beneficial for Saint John Water by reducing operating costs and enhancing
measurement accuracy.
ANALYSIS:
The RFP was issued on June 23, 2011 and closed on July 14, 2011. Scotia Tech,
Dartmouth, N.S. was the only vendor that responded and the evaluation committee
reviewed their submission based on the following criteria:
Quality and completeness of the submission
The proposal from Scotia Tech met the requirements for submission
Compatibility
The meters offered in the proposal meet all compatibility requirements for
current and future installations.
Meter Performance
All of the meters proposed meet current measurement standards and in a
number of cases new designs provide superior accuracy over the life of the
meter.
Warranty
All meters presented by Scotia Tech are warranted from defects to accepted
industry standards.
155
Page 2
ANALYSIS (Cont'd)
Price
Scotia Tech has offered firm pricing on their full range of water meters and is
consistent with purchases made in the past.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
It is difficult to accurately predict quantities to be purchased as demand is subject to
new construction and failures in metered accounts, however, based on previous
experience, it is estimated that the total cost of water meters for the period of this
agreement will be $90,000.00. Funds to cover this cost are provided in the Annual
Operating Budget and usually fully expended as efforts are focused on the
implementation of a meter replacement program.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the proposal for the establishment of a one year supply agreement for
the provision of water meters at the unit prices quoted, be awarded to Scotia Tech.

To Whom It May Concern: C /� (_,�y�zti� CQ.� ,� c
Senior Citizens' Services Inc. in Saint John, NB is better know as the "City Market Senior Centre"
because for more than 45 years, we have occupied the 2nd level of the city's historic uptown market.
The City Market Senior Centre is among the city's oldest, local non - profit organizations — if not Saint
John's very oldest. Our creed is a "home away from home" where "there are no strangers, only
friends you have not yet met ". We offer social activities 4 days and 1 evening per week; a foot clinic
bi- monthly; special annual events such as a Valentine's Day Tea; and most importantly we serve
affordable, nutritious, home -style meals at lunch time, Monday through Friday, 52 weeks /year.
Incorporated and a registered charity since 1974, the City Market Senior Centre has been a pivotal
space for community seniors for almost 5 decades. While we still serve thousands of meals annually,
our corporation has not kept current with the operating, fundraising or member - recruitment practices
common to most non - profit organizations today. As a result, the centre's facilities and equipment are
sorely out -of -date, our hours of operation, services and membership are rapidly shrinking, and the
ever - increasing costs of supplies and services necessary to our existence far exceed our income.
Plans for a large scale member drive and fundraising campaign are currently being developed for
2012, but unless emergency assistance is received within the upcoming weeks, such a blitz will be too
late.
Between January and June of 2011, the City Market Senior Centre was visited more than 4000 times
and we provided over 2750 meals. In the same time period our expenses totaled approximately
$40,000 while our generated income was just under $23,000. The year's total donations of $13, 725
together with the last few thousand dollars reserve from previous year's donations have kept us afloat,
but an estimated $15,000 is needed to keep our doors open until the end of the year. Without
immediate donations of goods and /or funds, the Centre's resources will be completely depleted no
later than October, 2011.
With the baby- boomers coming of age it is estimated that approximately 20% of Canada's population
is now or soon will be 55 or older, while the economic crises of the last few years has made it
increasingly difficult for those on a fixed income to survive. Many seniors in our city eat poorly and live
in isolation with few opportunities to socialize. Rather than closing our doors, the City Market Senior
Centre must continue to offer the social environment, activities and meals which so many of our older
seniors have depended upon over the past 45+ years of operation. Furthermore, we must update our
equipment; renovate our facilities to make them truly accessible (as well as more inviting and
comfortable); extend our hours of operation; increase public awareness of the Senior Centre and
especially develop new and relevant services for the changing -face of our senior population.
Any immediate donation which your company can give to save the City Market Senior Centre from
closing would be greatly appreciated and additionally, pledges of support for next year's campaign will
be gratefully received. Should you be interested in becoming a substantial and /or ongoing corporate
sponsor, we would be pleased to provide you with any necessary details over and above the attached
fact sheet; provide your representative(s) with a tour of our facility; and of course, ensure that your
generous contribution is internally and publicly acknowledged.

Thank you for your time and attention in this serious matter. Due to the time - sensitive nature of this
request, we look forward to hearing from you in the immediate future.
Sincerely,

Your Worship and Councillors:
City of Saint John
SUBJECT: Janitorial Services — City Facilities (RFP No. 2011- 080301 P)
BACKGROUND:
The City of Saint John routinely establishes a contract with qualified vendors for
the provision of janitorial services. With the exception of Fire Department
buildings and some Police Department buildings, all City -owned buildings and
facilities fall under the scope of this agreement.
The current contract is due to expire and in anticipation of the expiration of the
current contract, an RFP was issued on June 8, 2011 to solicit proposals from the
marketplace for suitable service- providers.
ANALYSIS:
The intent of the call for proposals was to establish an initial three (3) year
contract with the option, upon mutual agreement with the vendor and no
significant changes in scope or cost, of two (2) additional one (1) year extensions.
Four (4) vendors chose to respond by submitting proposals as follows:
Omni Facility Services Canada Ltd. Saint John, NB
JaniKing Rothesay, NB
Servicemaster Saint John, NB
Spruce Grove Building Cleaners Dieppe, NB
A proposal evaluation committee, consisting of representatives from Building and
Facilities Management and Materials Management reviewed the submissions
against the following evaluation criteria:
Quality and completeness of submission
Company qualifications and relevant experience
Scope of services
Cost

ANALYSIS .... CONT'D: City of Saint John
In accordance with the City's policies and procedures, assessments of the
technical and financial aspects of the submissions were undertaken by the
evaluation team members.
Upon completion of the technical and financial proposal reviews, the evaluation
committee unanimously ranked the proposal from Omni Facility Services Canada
Ltd., the present service- provider, as the best, as it fully encompassed the
proposed Scope of Work and was also the lowest -cost proposal.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The cost to the City of Saint John, before tax, to establish a three (3) year contract
with Omni Facility Services Canada Ltd. for the provision of janitorial services if
awarded as recommended will be $325,564.44 in year 1, $331,763.04 in year 2,
and $339,339.36 in year 3. This represents a modest increase over the present
annual cost, however, it should be noted that the new scope of work has been
increased to encompass more items and more facilities.
This is a recurring expenditure for which funds are provided through various
operating budgets.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the proposal for the establishment of a contract with an
initial term of 3 years for the provision of janitorial services as submitted by Omni
Facility Services Canada Ltd. at the pre -tax costs of $325,564.44 in year 1,
$331,763.04 in year 2, and $339,339.36 in year 3, be accepted, and further that the
option for two (2) additional one (1) year extension periods, at the sole discretion
of the City and upon mutual agreement with the vendor, be included. In addition,
it is recommended that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute
the necessary contract documents.

How can we best
support YSJ
Alp,
►
- Work with airports to "tweak" the present model, reduce fees
Et charges, minimize regulation impacts, and improve our global
competitiveness (eg security fees, passenger fees, RESA, ... )
- Acknowledge importance of airports in regional economic
development and work in partnership with airports to enhance this role
(eg Tourism Promotion, Air Service Development)
- Acknowledge key role of airport in "local economic growth"
(e.g. In municipal plan designate as "business zone ", taxes, MOU for
infrastructure development and growth, establish strong taxi bylaws,...)
- We vote with our feet Et pocketbooks...
Should our service shrink or grow? (For the airlines it's a business decision)
Key Issue:
Plan SJ Feedback
Your Saint John Airport's management and board have been
VERY supportive of the Plan SJ process and have participated
in all related public sessions as well as "one on one" sessions
with the city's planning department and Plan SJ team
• Your airport understands the driving forces behind the Plan SJ
effort and the need to contain infrastructure costs and to
focus development
• As a key contributor to the consultation process, we offer the
following feedback as relates to your airport:
Plan SJ Feedback —
Supportive Clauses
Plan SJ incorporates wording that supports your airport:
• Under Transportation and Mobility sections 8.1 Goals and 8.13 Air Transport
• State that "Support growth in Air Service at the Saint John Airport"
• Further recognize airport role in economic development, the need for dialogue, and
appropriate area zoning
• Under Economic Development Strategy for Saint John
• Further encourage strengthening working relationships with partners in economic
development, such as the airport
• Under Taxi Service
• Recommend implementation and regulation of standards
4The above statements and Policies TM -87, TM -88, and TM -89 are
greatly appreciated and supportive of your airport's efforts /direction.
Plan SJ Feedback —
Unique designation &focus
for your Airport
Some of Plan SYs stated policies are unnecessarily restrictive and will limit
your airport's ability to be viable:
• Federal Transportation lands designation be put in place for port Et
airport (Policies LU -108 Et LU -109)
• Deemed outside the Primary development area
• Airport not designated as: Employment area, Business Center, Industrial
Area (Heavy /light), or Rural Industrial area
• "...lands to be reserved for uses related to their federal transportation
mandate..."
Plan SJ Feedback —

• "Encourage... airport... to further develop their land use ... in a manner consistent

Plan SJ Feedback —
Restrictive clauses
The stated policies are restrictive and challenge your airport's self sustainability by
limiting Land Development to that which is aeronautical in scope such that:
• Limited aeronautical based investment opportunities, profit potential from this
type of operation, and aggressive direct competition with proximate airports
(e.g. cargo, aerospace park, flight schools)
• Limited number of hangars or airside investments over time
• Larger airport infrastructure investments required to support purely aeronautical
developments, thus defeating revenue /surplus generation potential

Suggestions
An updated municipal plan is a great step forward.
Your airport and the city will both benefit over the long term if mutual
interests are served as suggested below:
• The cost of extending municipal infrastructure to your airport
be addressed. We are not asking that this investment be made
business case is put forward for consideration, the city should
case and make a YES /NO decision.
is a major concern to
but rather that if a
evaluate this business
• Plan SJ states that requests to modify the Plan can be considered, yet states there
will be no investment in infrastructure to the airport for the life of the plan. This
later statement is unnecessary as the airport is outside the growth boundary.
• Modification of clauses LU -111 and LU -112 to allow development that your airport
can support and undertake. This does not constrain your airport's ability to
generate funds for its long term viability (ie not limited to aeronautical
development)
Plan SJ Feedback —
Suggestions
Suggested alternative wording for Plan SJ policies of concern:
Policy LU -111 - Recognize that the Saint John Airport Inc is responsible for a significant land base
to support the operation of the Airport. The City of Saint John supports the use of these lands
for purposes that fit within the Saint John Airport's Land Use Plan, are air transportation
related, or assist the airport in diversifying their revenue sources.
Policy LU -112 Convey to the Government of Canada and the Saint John Airport the community's
desire to have a strong regional airport and to support this via appropriate development on
airport lands as well as consideration for federal infrastructure funding as may be
appropriate. Although the airport is located beyond the proposed Plan SJ growth boundary,
the City of Saint John does recognize and value the need for a strong, growing and self
sustaining regional airport within its boundaries although it may not be in a position to fund
water and sewer infrastructure within the 25 year scope of this plan.

Measuring success
Section 9.10 Monitoring tt Review Metrics and 12.7 Plan Monitoring
• As a
stakeholder and taxpayer, we
suggest
the key measure of Plan SJ's
long
term success should
be
based
on two
simple
criteria:
• The population has grown
1
• The property tax rate has been reduced
• These two criteria would clearly indicate whether Plan SJ has been
successful in achieving its objectives and benefited Saint John's citizens
over the plan's lifespan
• If Saint John has not been successful in the establishment of new business
undertakings or of attracting new residents, then Plan SJ will have failed.
Plan SJ Feedback
Your Airport looks forward to continuing
to work with city representatives and the
Plan SJ team for
long term prospe
our mutual success and

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
M &C- 2011 -209
August 10, 2011
His Worship Mayor Ivan Court and
Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Proposed Section 39 Conditions
303 Westmorland Road
BACKGROUND:
City of Saint John
On August 2, 2011 the public hearing was held concerning the above noted
rezoning application for Freddys New FRENCHY'S Ltd. Common Council gave
1St and 2nd reading to the rezoning and requested a report recommending
appropriate Section 39 conditions.
ANALYSIS:
Should Council grant this rezoning, there are several Section 39 conditions
concerning permitted use, site preparation, landscaping and signage that should be
considered. Staff suggests the site's commercial use should be limited to a retail
second -hand clothing store only and not permit the entire suite of uses listed
under the `132" General Business zoning. Restricting the site's future use to only
the applicants' proposal, rather than permitting the full range of "B -2" General
Business uses, is particularly important in cases such as this, where the site abuts
residential properties and where it is clear that expanding commercial uses outside
the existing Regional Centre is not encouraged by the Municipal Plan.
The applicants should also be required to submit a properly drawn site plan
illustrating a properly paved, curbed and drained parking area which
accommodates the parking requirements, as well as indicating all other site
features including landscaping and signage.
216
M & C — 2011 — 209 - 2 - August 10, 2011
RECOMMENDATION:
That, should Common Council decide to approve the proposed rezoning of 303
Westmorland Road, the following Section 39 resolution be adopted:
"That, pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act, the
proposed development of a parcel of land with an area of approximately
3900 square metres, located at 303 Westmorland Road, also identified as
PID No. 00321158, be subject to the following conditions:
a) The use of the site is limited to a retail second -hand clothing store only;
b) The proponent must undertake site improvements in accordance with a
detailed site plan, prepared by the proponent and subject to the approval of the
Development Officer, illustrating the following:
i. an appropriately paved, marked, curbed and drained driveway and

ii. landscaping of all disturbed areas of the site that are not occupied by

requirement of a minimum of 2 metres inside the front lot line and 1.5
metres along the side lot lines. The landscaping along the front lot line
must extend onto the Westmorland Road right -of -way to the edge of

RE: Clean Safe Drinking Water
Overview:
In July, 2011, Common Council, the Government of New Brunswick and the Government of
Canada committed to making clean, safe drinking water the #1 priority for Saint John. It would
be prudent to continue the productive discussions commenced last month with our Provincial and
Federal counterparts. It would also be prudent to explore creative funding options to provide
clean, safe drinking water for Saint John.
Motions:
That Council, through the office of His Worship Ivan Court, contact Minister Trevor Holder and
MP Rodney Weston with a view to continuing discussions on funding options for safe, clean
drinking water.
That the City Manager review the steps necessary for direct investment from the General Fund in
clean water infrastructure in Saint John, and how the payment of this investment can be
generated beyond the water ratepayers, and to report back to Council on this matter.

RE: FUSION Saint John
Overview:
During each of the last two years FUSION Saint John has hosted an outdoor social event on

FUSION requires: 1) closure of a portion of Princess Street for approximately two (2) hours; and
2) a letter from the City confirming that the street will be closed and that it is permissible for
FUSION to carry -out this event.
Motion:
That Council authorize the City Manager and such City Staff as is necessary to arrange 1)

Games Aquatic Centre, The Imperial Theatre, Station 1 Skateboard Park, and the
Canada Games Stadium.
In addition, the City operates, schedules and provides recreation programming and
opportunities at a number of facilities, including major parks such as Rockwood
Park, Dominion Park, Shamrock Park and Mispec Park; tennis courts, beaches, six
(6) community centres, four (4) arenas, outdoor ice rinks, a regional skateboard park,
the Aquatic Centre, basketball courts, beach volleyball courts, an off -leash dog park,
numerous playgrounds, ornamental & passive parks, and sports -play fields.
In 2010, the City engaged the services of a consultant to take stock of the existing
recreation infrastructure, facilities and programs within the municipality, which
resulted in the Infrastructure, Facilities and Programming Inventory (IFP) Study. The
Leisure Services Department wishes to engage a professional consultant to develop a
Recreation and Parks Master Plan based on the IFP Study. This report will serve as a
strategy for the development of recreation programming and parks and facilities
management into the future, in support of the City's new growth strategy.
ANALYSIS:
An RFP to engage a consultant to create the Recreation and Parks Master Plan
was issued on June 28, 2011 and closed on July 21, 2011. Six firms chose to
respond by submitting proposals as follows:

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
August 12, 2011
M & C 2011 -203
OPEN SESSION
His Worship Mayor Ivan Court
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: 47 Sewell Street (PID # 00038588)
Retaining Wall at the Corner of Sewell and Dorchester Streets
BACKGROUND
71n
The City of Saint John
In 2009, a fire at 47 Sewell Street resulted in significant damage to the structure at this location.
Following the fire, the property was sold and it is currently owned by Commercial Properties Limited
(CPL).
Like similar buildings constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, this building's
foundation was constructed against the streets and /or property lines, thereby unintentionally
supporting street and sidewalk networks. On July 25, 2009, the fire damaged building at 47 Sewell
Street was demolished under the direction of CPL.
There was serious concern with public safety with respect to the stability of the remaining stone
foundation walls acting as a support structure and the significant drop in elevation from street surface
to ground surface of the lot. Currently, the old stone foundation wall is essentially acting as a
retaining wall for a portion of Sewell and Dorchester streets (including the sidewalks). Said stone
foundation wall was obviously not designed for this purpose.
ANALYSIS
The professional services of Fundy Engineering & Consulting Ltd. (Fundy) were retained to review
the condition of the old stone foundation walls, provide advice on potential impacts to street
infrastructure, and suggest remediation options to stabilize the slope face along both Sewell Street and
Dorchester Street, post demolition. As a safety precaution for pedestrians, jersey barricades were
initially placed by the owner along the back edge of sidewalk along Sewell and Dorchester Street due
to the elevation difference between the lot and the streets. A load of rock fill was placed against the
existing stone foundation walls to provide support and prevent a potential collapse.
Fundy advised that exposed sections of the existing walls showed signs of deterioration and
displacement, and with the removal of the building structure (joists and framing) there was the
possibility of wall failure and possible impacts to the street infrastructure.
230
M & C 2011 -203
August 12, 2011
Page 2
Fundy suggested the following two options: (1) completely replace the existing foundation walls with
a retaining wall; or (2) place rock fill in front of the existing stone walls at a higher elevation to
provide more support and stability at the base.
The land at this location has since been converted into a parking area, and is part of a larger parking
lot. The Saint John Parking Commission currently leases the lot from CPL and manages the parking
lot.
Discussions have taken place between the City and CPL over the last few months to determine liability
for the construction of a proper retaining wall for Dorchester and Sewell Streets which would have to
be built on the CPL lot.
At the City's request, Fundy prepared a report and cost estimate for proper retaining wall structures on
Sewell and Dorchester Streets at this location. They noted if the existing wall was to collapse, any fill
behind the wall, the sidewalk and the street surface would fall to the current parking level elevation.
Fundy has also noted that a crack was observed between the wall and the concrete sidewalk on Sewell
Street and that with additional snow loads and frost action on the wall this winter, the possibility of
failure of the stone foundation wall will increase.
Staff has been dealing with CPL regarding construction of a proper retaining wall, and recently
received an offer from CPL whereby it agrees to cover 50% of the cost of building the new retaining
wall, and it also agrees to convey the footprint of the new wall to the City along with an easement for
future maintenance.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The cost estimate of a pre -cast Redi -Rock block wall that was prepared for the City by Fundy is
$138,288 + HST. This figure includes $15,000 for relocation of utility services but this would not be
necessary as the owner proposes for the wall to be built behind the existing foundation walls on the lot,
with easement for municipal ownership of the wall. However, pursuing this option would incur costs
for final design and construction management fees, estimated to be in the order of $20,000.
CPL has provided a lump sum quoted price of $135,000 + HST as per the attached agreement to
construct a design -build pre -cast concrete block retaining wall at this site. Utility relocations and costs
would not be necessary under this proposal and footprint behind the existing wall.
The City will pay 50% of costs incurred but no more than half of the price quote of $135,000 + HST,
which includes engineering costs.

BUDGET ANALYSIS
REVENUE OFF -SETS
The $1,161,227 is a credit against operating expenses and the cost recovery for
Secondments, Peacekeeping Missions, Extra -Duty assignments, and Special Joint
Investigations are a direct offset to wages and overtime costs.

(1,488)
$23,695
$10,954
$677,637
$450,859
$1,161,227
Non -Union salaries were under budget by $173,558 and this related to vacancies resulting
from retirements and a secondment.
Salaries for 486 (civilian support staff) employees were under budget due to the usage of
casual employees and not filling the Digital Forensic Specialist position.
Police officer salaries were over budget by $689,307 this variance was reduced by
$677,637 recovered directly back from policing partners for secondments and
peacekeeping missions.
OVERTIME
Saint John Police Association (SJPA)
The overtime costs were over budget by $474,548. The Patrol Division accounted for
$335,591 and the Criminal Investigation Division was over budget by $115,385

Chris Waldschutz, Chairman and
Members of the Board of Police Commission
July 5, 2011
Page 3
Subject: 2010 Operating Budget — Year -End Financial Results
On -Call Pay is over budget by $56,000 and this over expenditure is reduced by $50,000,
which reflects the annual charge to Pt. Lepreau for Emergency Tactical Services (ETS)
members that are on -call each week.
Court Time - Saint John Police Association (SJPA)
The cost for court time exceeded budget by $96,206.
GOODS & SERVICES
The various Goods and Services accounts were under budget by $216,393.
This positive variance was created during the year by deferring or delaying the purchase of
required good and services.
This major decision to delay or defer spending by senior management was made at the
mid -year point to cover unbudgeted expenses for DNA analysis for $75,000 and the
purchase of critical interviewing equipment for $140,000 to replace obsolete technology in
several interview rooms. The first phase of this technology replacement program was
completed in 2010 and Phase II was in January 2011.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board accept and approve this Financial Report for the period
ended as at December 31, 2010 and forward a copy to Common Council as required under
Section 7 (3) of the New Brunswick Police Act.
