12.3 2018 General Operating Budget
Referring to the submitted report entitled 2018 General Operating Budget, Councillor

General Operating Budget.
Referring to the submitted report, the City Manager presented the budget highlights,
including:
• no change in tax rate for the past 10 years
• reduction in census population causing reduced revenues
• structural deficit
The Commissioner of Finance addressed the structural deficit. The City must
sustainably reduce costs and / or sustainably increase revenue. Short term bridge
funding does not solve long term imbalances.
15
COMMON COUNCIL/CONSEIL COMMUNAL
December 11, 2017/le 11 decembre 2017
The City Manager discussed the proposed reductions in all service areas in 2018.
Plans of establishment including attrition plans will be required for all departments.
Budgets that overspend on attrition will be funded through the general operating
fund reserve. No incentives or buy-out programs will be provided for early
retirement.
2018 will be a challenging year. Continuous Improvement, the new City Hall, and
other programs contribute greatly to the establishment. We must continue restraint
with limited growth. Service impacts will be encountered.
Details from the Premier on the assistance to the City are unknown. We have to
budget for what is known and fiscally sound.
Responding to questions, the City Manager stated the 2018 budget includes line
items for growth, funding for the Economic Development Agencies, and One Stop
Shop.
Moved by Councillor Merrithew, seconded by Councillor Sullivan:
RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report M&C
2017-315: 2018 General Operating Budget Common Council approve:
1. That the sum of $152,613,133 be the total Operating Budget of the City of Saint
John for 2018;
2. That the sum of $121,319,088 be the Warrant of the City of Saint John for 2018;
3. That the tax rate for the City of Saint John be $1.785;
4. That Common Council orders and directs the levying by the Minister of
Environment and Local Government of said amount on real property liable to
taxation under the Assessment Act within the Municipality of Saint John;
5. That Common Council authorizes the Commissioner of Finance and
Administrative Services to disburse, at a time acceptable to him, to the named

12.5 Ashburn Road Servicing
Commissioner Hugenholtz said the road is private, accessed by walkers and cyclists
to access Rockwood Park. There is a risk of setting a precedent to service private
roads that draw on staff resources and capital. The recommendation is to maintain
the current practice and not take on the maintenance of additional private roads.
Responding to a question, the Commissioner stated the service level of P1 roads —
private roads inherited by amalgamation in 1967 were serviced by the province and
the City carried this service forward, i.e., snow plowing, garbage removal.
The City Manager cautioned on the budget just passed and floodgate of potential
requests for servicing private roads.
Moved by Councillor Strowbridge, seconded by Councillor Sullivan:
RESOLVED that Ashburn Road Servicing be added to the inventory of private roads to
be serviced by the City.
MOTION tied with Deputy Mayor McAlary, Councillors Armstrong, Norton, Casey and
Reardon voting nay. The Mayor broke the tie voting against the motion.

12.3 Budizet de fonctionnement izeneral de 2018
Faisant reference au rapport soumis intitule Budget de fonctionnement general de
2018, le conseiller Merrithew, president du comite des finances, presente les
recommandations pour le budget de fonctionnement general de 2018.
Se rapportant a un rapport depose anterieurement, le directeur general presente les
points saillants du budget, notamment les suivants :
• aucun changement du taux d'imposition ces 10 dernieres annees;
• reduction de la population du recensement entrainant une reduction des
revenus;
• deficit structurel.
Le commissaire aux finances se penche sur le deficit structurel. La Ville doit reduire
durablement ses couts et/ou augmenter durablement ses revenus. Le financement
provisoire a court terme ne resout pas les desequilibres a long terme.
Le directeur general discute des reductions proposees dans tous les secteurs de
service en 2018. Des plans des effectifs comprenant des plans d'attrition seront
requis pour tous les services.
Les budgets pour lesquels it y a des depassements en matiere attrition seront
finances par la reserve du fonds de fonctionnement general. Aucun programme
d'incitation ou de rachat ne sera prevu pour la retraite anticipee.
L'annee 2018 sera une annee difficile. L'amelioration continue, le nouvel hotel de
ville et d'autres programmes contribuent grandement aux effectifs. Nous devons
continuer a faire preuve de retenue dans un contexte de croissance limitee. II y aura
des repercussions sur les services.
Le premier ministre n'a pas donne de details quant a I'aide qui serait fournie a la
Ville. Nous devons etablir un budget en fonction de ce qui est connu et fiscalement
sain.
En reponse aux questions, le directeur general declare que le budget de 2018
comprend des postes pour la croissance, le financement des agences de
developpement economique et le guichet unique.

chemins P1— les chemins prives herites par fusion en 1967 ont ete entretenus par la
