12.7 Sustaining Saint John: A Three -Part Plan (Tabled from July 11, 2019)
4
COMMON COUNCIL / CONSEIL COMMUNAL
August 19, 2019 / le 19 ao6t 2019
Moved by Deputy Mayor McAlary, seconded by Councillor Sullivan:
RESOLVED that Item 12.7 Sustaining Saint John: A Three -Part Plan, be lifted from the
table.
IL [0000114L1:k]k]11191
Moved by Councillor Sullivan, seconded by Councillor Strowbridge:
RESOLVED that:
1) Common Council endorse the report while continuing to voice its reservations
over:
• Failure to solve the financial gap for the years of 2021 and 2022
• Lengthy timelines and uncertainty for the significant reforms
• Lack of detailed implementation plans for the significant reforms
2) Common Council formally re -consider in March 2020, in Open Session, their
endorsement of this Plan based on the progress made. This date would be
concurrent with the Provincial commitment to re -assess in Part Three of the
Plan, and also be concurrent with the City's commitment to have all
implementation plans for financial restructuring approved.
3) City Staff, working through Finance Committee, continue with their efforts/plans
to address the entirety of the deficit for 2021 and 2022; respecting the motion
passed by Common Council on this issue.
4) Common Council request to the Province that detailed implementation plans be
produced for each of the 20 Action Items.
5) That the working committee established to produce this Plan remain extant and
assist in the coordination and implementation of the entire Plan.
6) City staff provide a report to Council every two months as a minimum (and more
often if deemed necessary) on the progress on the 20 Action Items, and on Parts
Two and Three of the Plan, through the creation of a Sustaining Saint John
Report Card. Furthermore, that this report card be provided to Saint John
Common Council, Members of the Legislative Assembly from the Greater Saint
John Region, the Premier's Office, and all four political parties currently
represented in the Provincial Legislature in order to ensure broad situational
awareness.
7) Common Council create an ad-hoc three-member Committee of Council to be
named at a later date, to continue the communication with appropriate
Provincial elected officials regarding potential future amendments to the Plan.

COMMON COUNCIL / CONSEIL COMMUNAL
August 19, 2019 / le 19 aout 2019
Mr. Collin noted that an amended version of the Plan was received just prior to the
meeting, along with a supporting letter from the Premier. The key proposed changes to
the Plan are as follows:
• More definitive wording and commitment to changing binding arbitration for
police and fire fighters.
• More definitive wording and commitment to enabling Saint John Energy's
growth agenda.
• The final report for the Regional Management Task Force was not advanced, but
there is now a requirement for an interim report and also recognition of a
requirement for outside expertise and advice to the task force.
• The Province has stated that they intend to advance the reassessment of
outcomes (Part Three of the Plan), from the May period to the March period of
2020.
The plan still does not address the financial gap of 2021 and 2022. There is tremendous
potential in the longer term initiatives. There is some, although limited, short-term
financial relief. With an endorsed report there is a commitment from the Province to
make certain changes to legislation and processes. It includes financial relief of
approximately $1M and potentially more depending on the success of initiatives.
Councillor MacKenzie expressed concern with the recommendation, adding that by
endorsing the report, he is endorsing $12M in cuts to the City of Saint John, which is
likely to occur regardless. Councillor MacKenzie indicated that there was not adequate
time given to review the amended Plan due to the late timing of receipt of the material.
Deputy Mayor McAlary expressed concern that the amended Plan is not concrete nor
does it address the financial challenges of 2021 and 2022. The Deputy noted that she
cannot support the creation of an Ad-hoc committee, noting that the MLAs should work
with all of Council, not just a select few.
Councillor Armstrong stated that there is nothing concrete in the Plan. A signed
agreement is not necessary in order to continue conversation with the Province.
MOTION CARRIED with Deputy Mayor McAlary and Councillors Armstrong and
MacKenzie voting nay.

12.7 SoutenirSaintJohn : un plan en trois parties (depose le 11 juillet 2019)
A la suite de la proposition de la mairesse suppleante, appuyee par le conseiller
Sullivan :
IL EST RESOLU QUE le point 12.7 soit retire de l'ordre du jour.
MOTION ADOPTEE.
A la suite de la proposition du conseiller Sullivan, appuyee par le conseiller Strowbridge
IL EST RESOLU QUE :
8) Le conseil communal approuve le rapport tout en continuant d'exprimer ses
reserves en ce qui concerne :
• I'absence de mesure pour combler 1'ecart financier pour 2021 et 2022
• la Ienteur du processus et l'incertitude quant aux reformes majeures
• I'absence de plans de mise en oeuvre detailles relativement aux
reformes majeures
9) Le conseil communal reexamine officiellement son approbation de ce plan en
mars 2020, en seance publique, en fonction des progres realises. Cette date
coinciderait avec 1'engagement du gouvernement provincial en ce qui concerne
la reevaluation de la situation dans la troisieme partie du plan, et avec
1'engagement de la Ville pour ce qui est de faire approuver tous les plans de mise
en oeuvre de la restructuration financiere.
10) Le personnel de la Ville, par 1'entremise du Comite des finances, poursuive ses
efforts et ses plans pour combler entierement 1'ecart financier pour 2021 et
2022, en respectant la motion adoptee par le conseil communal relativement a
cette question.
11) Le conseil communal demande a la province de produire des plans de mise en
oeuvre detailles pour chacun des 20 points a regler.
12) Le comite de travail mis sur pied en vue de la production de ce plan demeure en
place et participe a la coordination et a la mise en oeuvre de 1'ensemble du plan.
13) Le personnel de la Ville presente un rapport au Conseil au moins une fois tous les
deux mois (et plus souvent s'il le juge necessaire) sur 1'etat d'avancement des 20
points a regler et sur la deuxieme et la troisieme partie du Plan, grace a la
18
COMMON COUNCIL / CONSEIL COMMUNAL
August 19, 2019 / le 19 aout 2019
creation d'une fiche de rendement pour soutenir Saint John, que cette fiche de
rendement soit remise au conseil communal de Saint John, aux deputes de
I'Assemblee legislative de la region du Grand Saint John, au Cabinet du premier
ministre et aux quatre partis politiques actuellement representes a I'Assemblee
legislative provinciale pour faire en sorte qu'un grand nombre d'intervenants
soient au courant de la situation.
14) Le conseil communal mette sur pied un comite special forme de trois membres
du conseil devant etre choisis a une date ulterieure, afin de poursuivre les
echanges avec les elus provinciaux pertinents au sujet d'eventuelles
modifications au Plan.
M. Collin signale qu'on a re�u une version modifiee du Plan juste avant la reunion, et
qu'elle etait accompagnee d'une lettre d'appui du premier ministre. Les principales
modifications proposees au Plan sont les suivantes :
• Un libelle et un engagement plus clairs pour ce qui est de modifier I'arbitrage
executoire dans le cas des policiers et des pompiers.
• Un libelle et un engagement plus clairs pour ce qui est de permettre a Saint John
Energy de realiser son programme de croissance.
• Le rapport final du groupe de travail sur la gestion regionale nest pas pret, mais
it est maintenant necessaire de presenter un rapport provisoire et de reconnaitre
la necessite de faire appel a une expertise et a des conseils externes pour le
groupe de travail.
• La province a l'intention de promouvoir la reevaluation des resultats (troisieme
partie du plan) pour la periode allant de mai 2019 a mars 2020.
Le Plan ne prevoit toujours pas de mesures pour combler 1'ecart financier pour 2021 et
2022. Les initiatives a plus long terme offrent un potentiel enorme. 11 y aura un certain
allegement financier a court terme, mais it sera Iimite. Maintenant que Ie rapport est
approuve, la province s'engage a apporter certains changements a la legislation et aux
processus. Un allegement financier d'un million de dollars environ est prevu, selon Ie
taux de reussite des initiatives.
Le conseiller MacKenzie exprime son inquietude quant a la recommandation et ajoute
que I'approbation du rapport signifie I'approbation de coupures de l'ordre de 12
millions de dollars en ce qui concerne la ville de Saint John, ce qui risque de se produire
de toute fa�on. II estime qu'on n'a pas assez de temps pour examiner la version
modifiee du Plan etant donne la reception tardive des documents.
La mairesse suppleante estime que la version modifiee du Plan ne renferme pas de
mesures concretes et ne tient pas compte des defis financiers de 2021 et 2022. Elle fait
remarquer qu'elle ne peut pas appuyer la creation d'un comite special puisque les
19
COMMON COUNCIL / CONSEIL COMMUNAL
August 19, 2019 / le 19 ao6t 2019
deputes devraient travailler avec tous les membres du Conseil, et non pas seulement
avec quelques-uns d'entre eux.
Le conseiller Armstrong declare qu'il n'y a rien de concret dans le Plan. II nest pas
necessaire d'avoir une entente signee pour poursuivre les discussions avec la province.
MOTION ADOPTEE malgre le rejet de la mairesse suppleante et des conseillers
Armstrong et MacKenzie.
