It is further recommended that Rocky's Sports Bar Inc. be advised that the City of
Saint John is not explicitly or implicitly obligated to approve any applications
arising here from; and that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to sign
the lease.
The purpose of the lease was to accommodate a "smoking area ".
While the final lease was being prepared for signature, Rocky's applied for and
was issued a building permit for the patio, constructed the patio, and use of it
commenced. This use continues at present. Unfortunately the final lease
document was never completed. This situation recently came to light, and City
staff approached Rocky's seeking to amend the situation into a proper and current
lease arrangement.
During the originally contemplated lease term, rent has been invoiced by the City,
Rocky's has paid the rent due since 01 Dec 2004, and the account is in good
standing.
The purpose of the report is to present a new lease document between the City
and Rocky's to Council for consideration.
ANALYSIS:
The Subject City Building
The City of Saint John owns the pedway infrastructure situated between City Hall
and Market Square. This has become known as the Saint Patrick Street Pedway.
In the past, the City has permitted access to its pedway by adjacent land owners.
This is the first leased use of roof top space.
Proposed Terms of Lease
Rocky's wishes to continue leasing the area that its patio occupies, and Rocky's
has signed the attached lease document. This document respects all of the
recommendations adopted by Common Council at its 12 October 2004 meeting,
but with the following amendments and deletions:
Amendments:
A) Annual rental rate to increase from $10.00 per sq ft to $13.00 per sq ft
( +HST),
B) Annual rent to be paid in one installment in advance each year rather than
in 12 monthly installments.
C) Leased space to decrease from 145 sq ft to 43.056 sq ft (4 sq m) — this has
been confirmed by post construction survey.
D) New lease term to be 8 years, beginning 01 Dec 2013 and ending 30 Nov
2021.
22
M &C- 2014 -020
March 3, 2014
Deletions:
SE
As the patio deck has already been constructed pursuant to the 12 October
2004 resolutions 6., 7., and 9. adopted by Common Council, these 3
resolutions are now moot.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That:
1) The City of Saint John enter into a lease with Rocky's Sports Bar Inc. for a
45.0356 square foot +/- portion of the roof -top situated upon the Saint
Patrick Street Pedway (PID Number 39206) on terms and conditions, and
in the form of the lease document attached to M &C 2014 — 020, and,
2) That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary
documents.

Also, enclosed is a brief history on the April 28th "Day of Mourning."
Thank you in advance for your anticipated positive response to this request.
Yours truly,

SAINT JOHN DISTRICT L,ABBOtTR COUNCIL
The Origins of April 28t"' as the "National Day of Mourning."
At the 1984 Convention of the Canadian Labour Congress a resolution was adopted
declaring April 28th as a "National Day of Mourning" to honour those workers in Canada
who have been killed, injured or disabled on the job, or who suffer from occupational
diseases. April 28th was chosen because on that day in 1914 Ontario proclaimed the first
comprehensive Workers Compensation Act in Canada.
The idea caught on as labour organizations around the world adopted April 28th as a
fl
"Day of Mourning." Today more than 100 countries recognize April 28', although many
refer to it as "Workers Memorial Day." The day is acknowledged by the International
Labour Organization, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the
American Federation of Labour.
The Canadian labour movement lobbied for legislation to identify April 28th as a
"National Day of Mourning." Their efforts were rewarded in February 1991, when the
Federal Parliament passed the "Workers Mourning Day Act" (Bill C -223). In 2000, the
New Brunswick legislature passed similar legislation. Both of these Acts recognize April
28th as a day of national observance.
Since the adoption of April 28th as a Day of Mourning, "April 28`h Day of Mourning
Monuments" have become some of the most prominent "Labour Landmarks" in Canada.
New Brunswick currently has seven such monuments, They are located in; Atholville,
Bathurst, Edmundston, Miramichi, Moncton, Saint John and Shippagan.
On April 28th, the Canadian flag on Parliament Hill will fly at half -mast. Workers will
light candles, don ribbons and black armbands. Wreaths are laid at the foot of the
monuments and a moment of silence is observed. Businesses and politicians are asked to
participate and to do their utmost to prevent workplace deaths, injuries and illnesses.
The April 28th Monuments are often inscribed with the words "Fight for the Living,
Mourn for the Dead" It is a day to honour the dead, but also a day that reminds us of the
need to protect the living.

Subject: Health Care Savings for the Province of New Brunswick
Health care in the Province of New Brunswick is the responsibility of the Provincial Government
According to a Wellesley Institute study in Sept 2013 tooth decay is one of the most prevalent chronic
diseases. 15 In Canada, 57% of children, 59% of adolescents, and 96% of adults have been affected by tooth
decay. 16 Cavities weaken teeth and can result in pain, tooth loss, facial disfigurement, and impaired oral
functioning. 18,19 Additionally, tooth decay has been linked to serious health conditions such as cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, low birth weight babies, respiratory infections, and osteoporosis, among others .22 (source
notes that ... )If severe, tooth loss and poor oral health can threaten job security and economic productivity,23
and in turn, these stressors can impact overall physical and mental health
Background
Globally, fluoride is used to combat tooth decay and promote oral health. Studies have shown that ingesting
small amounts of fluoride during early stages of tooth development strengthens tooth enamel, decreasing the
likelihood of cavities later in life. Although fluoride treatment is a common practice during visits to the
dentist, some research suggests that maintaining a constant, low -level of fluoride in the mouth is the most
effective measure in cavity prevention
Motion:
The City of Saint John write to the Department of Health for the Province of New Brunswick asking the
province to assess the cost savings in health care by having fluoride added to municipal water supplies,
and should there be cost savings the province provide financial assistance to municipalities to cover the cost of
the purchase and installation of water fluoridation equipment and continual operating costs.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
M &C2014 -23
March 10, 2014
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: Engineering Inspection Services 2014
BACKGROUND
The City of Saint )ohn
Common Council has approved the 2014 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program
consisting of 36 projects totaling $14,650,000 and the 2014 General Fund (Storm &
Transportation) Capital Program consisting of 17 projects totaling $12,709,000.
A portion of the projects in the 2014 Capital Programs are being designed "in- house" and will
require engineering inspection services during construction. There will be a requirement to
provide engineering inspection for approximately 13 "in- house" designed projects during the
2014 construction season.
ANALYSIS
In order to ensure that adequate engineering inspection resources are available to the City for
the approved Capital Program projects, staff have issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for
engineering inspection services. The RFP was issued to nine local consulting firms that have
the appropriate resources on staff capable of providing engineering inspection services on
municipal type projects.
Six firms have submitted proposals in response to the RFP, providing resumes for inspection
resources including hourly rates. The six firms that replied were:
• Crandall Engineering Ltd.
• CBCL Limited
• Dillon Consulting Limited
• GEMTEC Limited
• WSP Canada Inc.
• Stantec Consulting Ltd.
No single firm has the resources in place to provide all the required engineering inspection
services. The hourly rates submitted by the consultants with their proposals were similar so staff
r,;
M &C2014 -23
March 10, 2014
Page 2
averaged the rates and established one hourly rate for each of the three levels of inspectors —
Junior, Intermediate and Senior — as follows:
Junior Inspector - $71
Intermediate Inspector - $80
Senior Inspector - $90
The hourly rates include all miscellaneous expenses (car, cellular telephone, digital camera, etc.)
and do not include H.S.T. All six engineering firms have confirmed they are in agreement with
the above rates.
The City will determine the appropriate level of inspector required for a given project and then
request the engineering inspection services from the six consulting firms on a rotational basis.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The total overall cost for engineering inspection services for 2014 is difficult to predict as there
are a number of variables; most significant of which is how many contractors and the number of
construction crews that will be working at a given time period. Staff has estimated the overall
value of the engineering inspection services for 2014 to be approximately $430,000 plus 13%
H. S.T.
Funds to cover the cost of the engineering inspection service are included in the approved 2014
Capital Program project budgets.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
The Request for Proposal document and this report have been reviewed with the City's
Purchasing Department.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Common Council authorize staff to establish supply agreements with the
six consulting firms noted above, at the hourly rates provided in this report totaling $430,000
plus HST for the provision of engineering inspection services for 2014 Capital Program projects.

Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Borrowing Resolution
BACKGROUND:
=
City of Saint John
The Bank of Nova Scotia requires certain resolutions to be passed by Common
Council to formalize the line of credit with the City. These resolutions were last
updated by Common Council at its meeting of April 3rd, 2013. At this time, there
is a need to provide the bank with updated resolutions.
ANALYSIS:
The City has a $20,900,000 line of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia. This
amount represents $5,900,000 for general operating purposes and $15,000,000
for bridge financing on capital expenditures. The calculation of the line of credit
for operating purposes is outlined in the Municipalities Act and is set at a
maximum of 4% of the operating budget. Based on the City's 2014 operating
budget the maximum the City could borrow for operating purposes is $5,950,000.
It is proposed to seek approval from the bank to set the operating line of credit at
$5,950,000.
With respect to the bridge financing for capital expenditures, as a result of the
magnitude of the City's capital programs, it is proposed to maintain the current
credit level of $25,000,000. It is unlikely that actual borrowings will reach these
combined levels, but there is no harm in having the credit limits in place as a
precautionary measure.
50
M &C- 2014 -021 -2-
March 4, 2014
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that for general operating purposes:
1. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized to borrow, on behalf
of the City of Saint John (the Corporation), from the Bank of Nova Scotia (the
Bank) from time to time by way of promissory note, a sum or sums not
exceeding at any one time five million nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars
($5,950,000) to meet current expenditures of the Corporation;
2. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, Comptroller or Assistant
Comptroller are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the Corporation and to
furnish to the Bank from time to time a promissory note or notes sealed with
the corporate seal for the sum or sums so borrowed with interest at such rate
as the bank may from time to time determine;
3. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to
furnish to the Bank at the time of each borrowing and at such other times as
the Bank may from time to time request, a statement showing the nature and
amount of the estimated revenues of the current year not yet collected or
where the estimates for the year have not been adopted, a statement
showing the nature and amount of the estimated revenues of the Corporation
as set forth in the estimates adopted for the next preceding year and also
showing the total of any amounts borrowed in the current year and in any
preceding year that have not been repaid, and
4. That the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to apply
in payment of all sums borrowed from the Bank, with interest thereon, all of
the monies hereafter collected or received on account or realized in respect
of the taxes levied for the current year and for any preceding years and all of
the monies collected or received from any other source.
5. That for the purposes of bridge financing on Capital Expenditures, that the
City of Saint John establish a revolving term loan to bridge finance capital
expenditures to a maximum of $25,000,000 and the Commissioner of
Finance be authorized to borrow from the Bank to the specified limit, and
6. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, Comptroller or Assistant
Comptroller are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the Corporation and to
furnish to the Bank from time to time a promissory note or notes sealed with the
51
M &C- 2014 -021 -3-
March 4, 2014
corporate seal for the sum or sums so borrowed with interest at such rate as the
Bank may from time to time determine, and
7. That any two of the Commissioner of Finance, Comptroller or Assistant
Comptroller are hereby authorized to sign on behalf of the Corporation and to
furnish to the Bank an Agreement or Agreements under the seal of the
Corporation providing for payment to the Bank of all amounts required to be paid
by the Bank pursuant to each promissory note of the Corporation guaranteed by
the Bank with interest at such rate as the Bank may from time to time determine
and of a guarantee fee in respect of each such promissory note at such rate as the
Bank may from time to time determine.

The current fines for violations of the Traffic By -law were approved by Common Council on June 4,
2012.
ANALYSIS
After reviewing the wording of Section 26 of the Traffic By -law (amendment dated June 4, 2012),
the Legal Department recommended further clarification of the fine structure for violations of the
Traffic By -law, whereby the voluntary payments escalate based on two fifteen day periods, as
outlined above.
No changes to fine amounts are being recommended at this time; the current fines will remain in
effect.
The Legal Department has drafted the attached by -law amendment for Council's consideration.

Dear Mayor Norton & Saint John Councillors,
The New Brunswick Dental Society would like to request a reconsideration of your decision
to remove fluoride from the Saint John community water supply for various reasons which are
as follows:
Firstly, we were under the assumption that last night's meeting was for information
gathering only and that a vote on water fluoridation was not planned. We are aware that the
normal protocol for Saint John council meetings is for a report and recommendation to be
submitted to council members one week in advance of a vote on a particular issue. Therefore,
we planned to supply supporting information to council members leading up to the actual vote.
Secondly, we are aware that the mayor and council received an email letter yesterday
morning from Dr. Hardy Limeback that was flawed with inaccuracies and may have influenced
some council members to vote with a lack of accurate information on the subject.
Furthermore, we planned to supply supporting information to challenge Dr. Limeback's claims
in the time period leading up to the scheduled vote but we were unable to do that when the
vote took place unexpectedly last night. This information includes a statement from Harvard
University about the osteosarcoma concern and also a letter from an EPA member
contradicting Dr. Limeback's research data.
Lastly, we have heard comments from councillors at the December meeting and at last
night's council meeting admitting that they are not doctors and that it is difficult to make a
decision on such an important issue. We, as professionals, are trying to provide sound scientific
advice so that you may reconsider and make more informed decisions on this crucial matter.
There seems to be some confusion amongst some councillors with respect to the difference
between the benefits of systemic and topical fluoride. We'd like to clarify this. Also, we
received further economic data from the Chief Dental Officer of Canada that we'd like to share
with council if given the opportunity.
In closing, we'd like to reiterate that though there is a price to provide fluoride, it is
important to think of the cost of the dental health issues that the citizens of Saint John will be
faced with if fluoridation is discontinued.
Thank you for your further consideration.
Sincerely Yours,
Dr. Jeff Clark
NBDS President

The children and other citizens develop a strong sense of community, ownership and empowerment
and this makes our community stronger .The Marigold Project was started right here at home and shows
we have the power to make our lives better and that we do unique and fabulous things. We have
planted over 3 million marigolds by tens of thousands of children with the help of supportive adults at
over 50 sites on an annual basis All Children need supportive adults and encouragement in their lives.
We are now into our 17`" year and our community and visitors love our marigolds .
Children are like our community, we need to know and like ourselves and part of the way we do this is

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT NO.7
Between
The City of Saint John
(the "Employer ")
And
Local 486, Canadian Union of Public Employees
(the "Union ")
SUBJECT: ELIGIBILITY FOR ADDITIONAL PAYMENT FOR THOSE IN THE POSITION OF
ACCOUNTING SUPERVISOR (AS9) WHO ACHIEVE A RECOGNIZED ACCOUNTING
DESIGNATION
For the purposes of this Memorandum of Agreement, "Eligible Employee" is defined as follows:
"Eligible Employee" means a member of the Union who: (1) occupies a position in the
Employer's Finance Department identified as Accounting Supervisor 9 (AS9); (2) has or
who goes on to achieve the recognized accounting designation of Certified General
Accountant (, CGA") or Chartered Accountant ( "CA "), as the case may be, and (3) is (and
at all material times remains) a registered member in good standing of the Certified
General Accountants Association of New Brunswick or the New Brunswick Institute of
Chartered Accountants, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any member
of the Union who becomes an Accounting Supervisor 9 (AS9) in the Employer's Finance
Department after July 1st, 2013 shall be ineligible to receive any payment under this
Memorandum of Agreement, even should he or she possess at the time of hiring or go on
to earn the recognized accounting designation of CGA or CA.
An Eligible Employee shall receive an annual payment from the Employer of Three Thousand Dollars
($3,000.00), with such payment being made to the Eligible Employee as a lump sum (subject to any and all
payroll deductions) during the last payment period for each calendar year (i.e. the payment for 2013 would
be made during the last payment period of the 2013 calendar year).
In any given year, should one either become or cease to be an Eligible Employee, having regard to the
definition of Eligible Employee outlined above, he or she shall, in accordance with the following formula,
receive a prorated payment pursuant to this Memorandum of Agreement only for those days of the calendar
year during which he or she met the definition of Eligible Employee:
# of days as Eligible Employee x $3,000.00 = Prorated Payment
365
For clarity, the date to be used for calculation purposes shall, insofar as it relates to the designation of CGA
or CA, be the date of swearing in to the Certified General Accountants Association of New Brunswick or the
New Brunswick Institute of Chartered Accountants, or the date upon which one ceases to be a registered
member in good standing, as the case may be.
Prior to any payment being made under this Memorandum of Agreement, it shall be the responsibility of the
member of the Union in question to satisfy the Employer that he or she is an Eligible Employee, having
62
regard to the definition of Eligible Employee outlined above, by providing written confirmation that he or she
was, during the relevant period, a registered member in good standing of the Certified General Accountants
Association of New Brunswick or the New Brunswick Institute of Chartered Accountants, as the case may
be. A letter from the Executive Director of the Certified General Accountants Association of New Brunswick
or the New Brunswick Institute of Chartered Accountants, or a Certificate in Good Standing issued by either
governing body, shall suffice for this purpose.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Mr. Kirk Simms shall be entitled to receive a retroactive
lump sum payment pursuant to the terms of this Memorandum of Agreement for the period between the
date of his swearing in as a member in good standing of the Certified General Accountants Association of
New Brunswick, being [INSERT], and December 3151, 2012. The aforementioned retroactive lump sum
payment shall be made to Mr. Simms within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Memorandum of
Agreement. The lump sum payment for Mr. Simms for the 2013 calendar year shall be processed in
accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in this Memorandum of Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this agreement to be duly executed

Committee of the Whole
of Common Council of
The City of Saint John
Mayor Norton and Committee Members:
Re: Water Run Off and Fire /Service lanes
At its meeting held on January 20, 2014, Common Council resolved to
refer item 11.1 "Water Run Off of City Property" to the City Manager. Item
11.1 was a letter from Councillor Farren which we set out in its entirety:
"A resident of our City has been having trouble with water running
off of City owned property onto her property and flooding her
basement and causing her to use vacation time to keep the water
from destroying her furnace. She has been dealing with this for a
few years now and is asking the City to help her."
A preliminary examination of the circumstances led to the conclusion that
the referral called for a legal opinion dealing with title to land and
associated potential liability and this opinion has been prepared as a
result.
We are advised by Kevin Rice, Deputy Commissioner of Transportation
and Environment Services, that the resident referred to in Councillor
Farren's letter resides at 212 Sherbrooke Street. According to Mr. Rice,
who met with the resident about this issue some time ago, water is
running off a property located to the south of 212 Sherbrooke Street (that
is a property located at 211 Montreal Avenue) across a fifteen foot lane
and into the basement of 212 Sherbrooke Street.
The fifteen foot wide lane between 212 Sherbrooke Street and 211
Montreal Avenue is commonly known as a "fire lane" or "service lane ".
Such a lane in the City of Saint John is a lane having a width of fifteen feet
:P4
2 ' Committee of the Whole
March 7, 2014
more or less shown on any plan of subdivision filed in the Saint John
County Registry Office prior to the coming into force of the Community
Planning Act in the early 1960s, the intended use of which is not
designated on the subdivision plan and the title to which has not been
acquired by adjacent owners. 'The fire lane in question is shown on Plan
of Fairville Plateau dated May, 1912 and filed in the Saint John County
Registry Office as File 8 #63 and thus is a fire lane, or service lane.
Lanes of this sort are found in various areas of the City. Title to these
lands vested in the owner of the land at the time of subdivision and if
ownership subsequently changed, would pass as it would for any other
parcel of real property. The mere existence of such lanes does not
operate to vest title to them in the City. More specifically the service or fire
lane which lies between 212 Sherbrooke Street and 211 Montreal Avenue
is not owned by the Citv.
Mr. Kevin Rice advises that the City has not undertaken any activity upon
the lane in question nor does the City have any infrastructure lying
beneath its surface. Consequently it is my view at law that there is no
reason to believe the City has any responsibility for the flooding occurring
in the basement of the building at 212 Sherbrooke Street or for
determining its cause.
