1.2 COVID-19 Update — Growth and Community Development Services
Ms. Hamilton provided an update on COVID-19 as it relates to growth related services and the
role the City can take to support economic recovery. The pandemic will have both local and
global economic impacts. The City has altered its service delivery approach and has a cost -
mitigation strategy to reduce the impact to the 2020 budget. Since the mandatory order,
growth service delivery has been focused on essential services, critical services, service
restoration (under review), economic recovery (under review) and other strategic priorities,
such as population growth. The cost mitigation plan includes both best and worst case
scenarios for three and nine month timeframes. Impacts range from $4M to $9M; some cost
mitigation measures will impact growth related service levels. The plan minimizes impact to
the Development Incentive program and also includes the recommendation to allocate the
growth reserve to support economic recovery efforts.

Growth Committee Meeting
Open Session
April 16, 2020
Ms. Poffenroth commented on the growth service restoration plans. The first phase ensured
the delivery of emergency services. The second phase included the commencement of the
virtual One Stop Development Shop to deliver permit processing and building inspection
services. Building permits are down from the same time as last year; however, larger
developments are proceeding. Phase 3 will reinstate the Planning Advisory Committee and
Heritage Development Board meetings in a virtual setting.
Mr. Ouellette commented on the economic response efforts. All municipalities across Canada
must deal with the economic fallout of COVID-19 and are developing short and long term
strategies to respond. The economic impact to Saint John is significant. The federal and
provincial governments have introduced large scale relief programs for individuals and
businesses. Local governments will have an important role to play in the economic recovery
plan. Saint John is working with local agencies and have offered payment deferral programs on
a case by case basis through SJ Energy, SJ Water, City Market and other city -owned facilities.
In response to a question, Mr. Collin stated that there is currently no mechanism in place to
allow street sweeping under the current provincial orders. However, staff will present a report
to Council that may make it possible to proceed with additional service delivery.
Mr. R. Gaudet, EDGSJ, stated that an economic development response group has been engaged
and are actively aggregating all information from government sources and disseminating that
information to the business community. All programs have continued to operate in an on-line
forum. Looking forward, EDGSJ will assist in economic recovery efforts.
Ms. V. Clarke, Discover SJ, stated that the financial downturn has affected their organization
significantly. Funding from the City of Saint John in 2019 was $990K. This changed in 2020 to
an operational contribution of approximately $593K from the City and $1.4M from the hotel
levy. To date, $130K has been collected from the hotel levy. The City has amended its
agreement with Discover SJ as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Discover SJ has lost
approximately $4M in business in the last few weeks due to cancelled contracts. Moving
forward, Discover SJ intends to use a conservative marketing approach and market NB Tourism
and possibly Ontario into the fall. Discover SJ has reduced its staff as well.
Mr. S. Carson, Develop SJ, stated that the economic impact of this event is unprecedented in
terms of size, scale and scope. Construction activity has continued with the required safety
precautions in place. The majority of developments have continued. The entire team including
One stop Development has quickly transitioned into a virtual world. The City has endorsed
three catalytic projects to energize the private sectors and investment in our community,
including the Ashburn Interchange and Rothesay Avenue realignment, the South Central
peninsula school and the Fundy Quay project. All three continue to have very positive
discussions with the province.
Moved by Councillor Hickey, seconded by Councillor MacKenzie:
RESOLVED that the COVID-19 update be received for information.
MOTION CARRIED.
