Head City Manager Brian Irving Melanie Tompkins I John Collin RECOMMENDATION That the City enter into an Amendment of Lease with the Beach Crescent Association Inc., generally in the form as attached to M&C 2022-326, for the sole purpose of increasing the permitted height of the sewerage lift station located on the leased land, and that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the said Amendment of Lease and any documents ancillary thereto. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Saint John and the Beach Crescent Association Inc. (the "Association") entered into a Lease Agreement (the "Lease") on March 30, 1981. The Lease granted the City the right to build and operate a sewerage lift station on the site. That lift station was to be no more than 30 feet above mean sea level. The lift station and site are impacted by elevated water levels at times which place portions of the existing station under water and needs to be rebuilt to keep it out of the water and reduce the likelihood of a discharge event. The purpose of this report is to seek Council's authorization to enter into an Amendment to the Lease that increases the permitted height of the lift station building thereby addressing the issues related to elevated water levels. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION At its meeting held March 23, 1981, Council resolved that: "the City lease from the Beach Crescent Association Inc. the land shown as Lot 80-1 on a subdivision plan entitled "Beach Crescent Association Subdivision". prepared by Hughes Surveys and Consultants Ltd. and dated May 23rd, 1980, upon the following terms and conditions: (1) the demise of a term of 99 years at an annual rent equivalent to the annual real property taxes levied against the entire property owned by the Association, 17 -2- with provision for the City's continued occupation after the 99 year term; (2) that the lift station be constructed, maintained and land- scaped in accordance with the principles agreed to by the parties as set out in the document submitted herewith; (3) that all legal and survey costs incurred by the Association in this transaction be borne by the City; and (4) that the City indemnify the Association against claims arising from the operation of the lift station." REPORT The City of Saint John and the Beach Crescent Association Inc. (the "Association") entered into a Lease Agreement (the "Lease") on March 30, 1981. The Lease is for 99 years and grants the City the right to build and operate a sewerage lift station on a site located off Beach Crescent in Millidgeville. The annual rent is the equivalent of the annual real property taxes levied against the entire property owned by the Association. The Association is comprised of homeowners in and around the vicinity of Beach Crescent and Kennebecassis Drive. The Association negotiated to protect sight lines and view planes in their neighbourhood, as such there was a height restriction in the Lease that limited the height of the improvements that could be built on the leased site. Climate change is having an impact on the leased site. The sea levels are rising and have heightened storm surges and there have been increased and prolonged flood events. All of this have resulted in the site being more impacted by high water with increasing frequency. On occasion, the existing lift station is below water and there is a degree of discharge that results which is not permitted by law. The Amendment to the Lease permits the City to rebuild the lift station to an elevation that will keep it out of water and reduce the likelihood of a discharge event. The Amendment to the Lease will allow the City to increase the height of the lift station to 35 feet above mean sea level as opposed to the maximum height of 30 feet in the original Lease. All other terms and conditions of the original lease remain unchanged, including the rent. The recommendation in this report will enable the infrastructure work on the lift station to proceed. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's priorities of Green and Grow: GREEN: The replacement of the lift station with an improved location and elevation reduces discharge events which support a green environment. iF:3 -3- GROW: The new lift station will have additional capacity to move sewerage which helps increase flows and permits additional capacity to help support additional development in the area. SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES There are no anticipated service or financial operating impacts with the City entering into the Amendment to the Lease. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Saint John Water has provided input and feedback on this report. ATTACHMENTS 1. Site Plan 2.

Head City Manager Lisa Caissie John Collin I John Collin RECOMMENDATION RESOLVED that the City enter into a Marketing Service Agreement with HAWK Marketing (Agency) for the delivery of a comprehensive Place Brand Strategy for the City in the form attached to M&C No. 2022-333; and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute said Agreement and any documents ancillary thereto. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As a priority, Common Council has identified the need for a municipal place brand strategy. Such a strategy will strengthen the image and reputation of the City, align with the place brand for the region, and help position Saint John as a community of choice. The External Relations team has set out a 2022-2025 workplan and deliverables within the External Relations Frameworkthat includes the development of a place brand strategy in 2022, with completion set for 2023. External resources are required to support the achievement of this deliverable. The City engaged with Envision Saint John to discuss the project and how to best achieve alignment with the overarching, and recently adopted, Always Moving Forward regional place brand. A further discussion took place with HAWK Marketing, the primary authors of the regional place brand, strategy, and positioning. HAWK has provided a proposal that aligns with the regional brand and addresses the City's specific needs. By engaging with HAWK, work on the City's place brand strategy could commence as early as this year, with completion in early 2023. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION N/A 41-1 -2- REPORT Saint John is a progressive and vibrant city, deeply rooted in history and character. Architecture, natural waterways, parks, recreational facilities, shops and restaurants, business sectors, careers, neighbourhoods and more is what makes Saint John a great place to live, work and play. As a City, there is something for everyone and many stories to tell. Now is the time for refreshed strategic marketing and communication efforts that will help accelerate the City's path to growth and build on the positive reputation. A strong place brand strategyfor the City will focus on building a distinguished and intentional presence that will sustain current relationships and attract new opportunities. It must be aligned with the region but distinct to the value propositions of Saint John. Given the limited internal resources and competing 2022/2023 priorities for the External Relations service, external expertise is required to support the work of developing the City's place brand strategy. Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency is focused on growth for the region and building a profile in New Brunswick and beyond. To this end, the agency is in the roll -out phase of a new place brand strategy that has been close to two years in the making and represents a significant investment. Alignment with this strategy, Always Moving Forward, is critical to the City's success and makes sense from strategy development and community messaging perspectives. Envision Saint John has been consulted for the recommendation of working with their agency of record, HAWK Marketing, for the purposes of the City's comprehensive place brand strategy development. HAWK Marketing is well -positioned to help guide the City through the development of a place brand strategy. The agency has a long-standing relationship with Saint John. Since 2015, the team has developed successful marketing strategies for Discover Saint John, and — more recently — they have authored the new regional place brand, strategy, and positioning: Always Moving Forward for Envision Saint John. This relationship means that HAWK has conducted and reviewed recent market research and has a strong understanding of the regional brand and how the unique attributes of Saint John sit at the forefront of that brand. In addition to this, HAWK is a bilingual, full -service agency with considerable experience developing award -winning brand strategies for other clients. The City invited HAWK to submit a proposal for the development of a place brand strategy that aligns with the region's overarching proposition of Always Moving Forward, while also focusing on the City's profile and lure to internal and external markets. WA -3- The proposal outlines the following deliverables in detail: 1. Research/Data Review and Discovery Session 2. Findings Analysis and Client Workshop 3. Brand Strategy Development and Brand Guidelines 4. Communication Plan Development 5. Transition to the City of Saint John for Implementation Direct engagement with HAWK for this work will enable the City to engage with the best equipped agency to develop a comprehensive aligned brand strategy in a timely manner. The agency has a strong local connection, history and experience marketing for Saint John, and has recently collected and analyzed the market research needed to complete the work; therefore, reducing the overall cost and time for the City to develop its brand strategy. With key insights and the experience of developing the regional place brand, immediate efforts can focus on research/data review and discovery sessions with key stakeholders for the purposes of developing a more distinct brand for Saint John. Total costs of services will be $61,500 plus tax (CDN) and paid in installments upon progress and completion of the work. Money has been set aside in the 2022 operating budget, under professional services, to begin the work, with the remainder being billed once the work is complete in 2023. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The work of developing a municipal place brand strategy aligns with the City's priority of GROW, specifically strategic communications, and has been identified in the corporate workplan. SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Financial outcomes are the cost and time savings related to alignment with the work of Envision Saint John, and not having to complete market research that has recently been conducted and analyzed by the agency. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The engagement process and recommendation have been reviewed with Supply Chain Management, Finance, General Counsel, and the City Manager's Office and all are in support of the recommendation being put forward.

Assent to Money -in -lieu of Land for Public Purposes, 1017 Duck Cove Lane OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Peter Johnston Jacqueline Hamilton John Collin RECOMMENDATION That Common Council assent to money -in -lieu of Land for Public Purposes for the proposed Davis & Bowen Subdivision at 1017 Duck Cove Lane. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sandra Davis and Eric Bowen are seeking to subdivide one lot, shown as Lot 22-1 on the attached tentative plan of survey, from their approximately 1,997 square -metre property at 1017 Duck Cove Lane (PID 55152037). The new lot will be approximately 899 square metres in area for residential use. The application requires Common Council consent to the provision of money -in -lieu of Land for Public Purposes. Approval of the subdivision is under the authority of the Development Officer. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION At the June 27th, 2022 meeting of Common Council, staff introduced a new streamlined approach for approving subdivisions involving money -in -lieu of Land for Public Purpose. This new process reduces approval times by one to two months and is an improvement to the operations of the One Stop Development Shop. REPORT The subject property is zoned Two -Unit Residential (R2) and is designated Stable Residential in the Municipal Plan. The Municipal Plan and Zoning By -Law provide opportunities for subdivision in these areas if the requirements are met. Due to the size of the parcel, staff deems this subdivision appropriate as it meets the minimum lot standards found in the By-law. The proposed subdivision meets the requirement of the Municipal Plan, Zoning By -Law, and WA -2- Subdivision By -Law. This is a Type 1 Subdivision which does not require the construction of a new Public Street. Money -in -lieu requirements are calculated based on the assessed value of the land prior to its development, where funds collected are placed in a trust account in accordance with the Community Planning Act. These funds are only to be used for acquiring or developing lands for public use for future needs of citizens as the city grows. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The proposed development aligns with Common Council's priorities of Grow, Green, Belong, Move and Perform. SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES This proposal aligns with the City's Subdivision By-law. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The current subdivision proposal has been reviewed by the City's Infrastructure Development department. No concerns were raised.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Jonathan Taylor Melanie Tompkins I John Collin RECOMMENDATION RESOLVED that Common Council signal its intention to approve the 2023 Business Improvement Area budget submitted by Uptown Saint John Inc.; and further, that the city clerk be directed to prepare the prescribed newspaper notice, per s.6(2) of the Business Improvement Areas Act. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uptown Saint John's Board of Directors submitted the 2023 Business Improvement Area Budget for Council's consideration. The proposed 2023 levy rate would remain the same as in previous years at 16 cents for each one hundred dollars of assessed value on non-residential property within the area. The budget requires Council's approval, and the BIA Levy By -Law requires an amendment to set the levy rate for 2023. REPORT The Business Improvement Areas Act provides for the creation and administration of Business Improvement Areas within local governments in New Brunswick. A Business Improvement Area ("BIA") is a defined geographic area within a municipality where businesses and commercial property owners join through a formal association to organize, finance, and carry out physical improvements and promote economic development in the area. Businesses within the BIA boundaries become members and must pay a levy along with their property taxes. This arrangement provides a secure source of funding for BIA activities. K11.1 -2- The City of Saint John's BIA was established in the Uptown region in 1984 through the City's Business Improvement Areas By -Law and the Business Improvement Levy By -Low. The BIA By -Law prescribes the specific properties located within the BIA boundary, and the BIA Levy By -Law establishes the levy rate needed to implement the annual BIA budget. In Saint John, the levy rate has remained at 16 cents for each one hundred dollars of assessed value since 2006. Uptown Saint John Inc. is responsible for administering the funds collected from the BIA levy, which it uses towards marketing, promotion, advocacy, beautification initiatives, and other development activities aimed at stimulating business within the BIA. Uptown Saint John Inc. prepares an annual budget of projected BIA expenditures for the next calendar year. The budget must first be approved by the board of Uptown Saint John before it is submitted to Common Council for final approval. The steps required to approve and implement the 2023 BIA levy are as follows: • Uptown Saint John Inc. prepares a budget of projected expenditures for the next calendar year and submits it to its membership for approval • BIA budget is subsequently submitted to Common Council for approval • Council signals its intent to approve the budget and directs the clerk to publish the required advertising in the local newspaper • Non-residential users within the BIA may submit written objections regarding the budget to the clerk • Council approves the budget and amends to BIA Levy By -Low to establish the 2023 levy rate • The Minister of Local Government approves the By -Law Amendment and transfers the funds from the levy to Uptown Saint John Inc. Uptown Saint John's proposed 2023 budget of $517,882.00 was approved by its board members at the Annual Budget meeting held on October 131h, 2022. The proposed levy rate for 2023 would remain at 16 cents for each one hundred dollars of assessed value on non-residential property within the BIA. Subject to Council's approval, the clerk will prepare a newspaper notice with the following information: • Council's intention to approve the budget • The extent of the levy needed to implement the budget • The timeframe during which written objections maybe submitted Non-residential users within the BIA may submit written objections to the proposed budget to the city clerk's office within fifteen days after the second and final notice has been published in the newspaper. Kul -3- Should written objections be received by one-third or more of all non-residential users within the BIA, or by non-residential users who would together be liable to pay one-third or more of the amount raised by the BIA levy, the budget cannot be approved by Council. It is recommended that Council direct the city clerk to prepare the BIA notice to be published in the local newspaper for the weeks of November 1st— 51n and November 8tn_121n Council may approve the BIA budget and give first and second reading to the BIA Levy By -Law at the Council meeting of November 281h. The third and final By -Law reading will be scheduled for December 121" Council meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The City's Finance Department and Uptown SJ Inc. were consulted in the preparation of this report.

Head City Manager Jen Reed Jacqueline Hamilton I John Collin RECOMMENDATION Your City Manager recommends that Common Council authorize the Mayor to send two separate letters as attached to M&C 2022-329 to the Government of New Brunswick and the Government of Canada inviting them to investigate both a Living Wage and options for a food recovery program. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to direction from Common Council, staff have prepared two letters for the mayor to send to the Government of New Brunswick and the Government of Canada concerning: • Investigation of Living Wage for the City of Saint John • Investigation of a Food Recovery Program for the City of Saint John Staff recommend that Council invite the Provincial and Federal Governments to study these important issues with the hope of bringing forward evidence -based solutions to improve income and food security, especially for low-income and vulnerable populations. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION October 17t", 2022 - RESOLVED that City Council discuss and ask City Staff to send to the Province of New Brunswick and the Government of Canada ideas of what can be done to support a Basic Income Level (Living Wage) and what can we do in the City of Saint John to support this; and further that we also direct staff to look at what we can do to influence the other levels of government in bringing in legislation that would stop the waste of extra food by throwing out food by the food industry ( such as in France and the Netherlands). 67� -2- STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The letters of support align with the Common Council priority of BELONG: enhancing the quality of life and social well-being for residents. SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES n/a INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS This report was reviewed by City of Saint John staff from the following areas: • Growth and Community Services & the City Manager's Office ATTACHMENTS • City of Saint John Letter - Living Wage PNB • City of Saint John Letter - Living Wage - Government of Canada • City of Saint John Letter - Food Recovery Program — PNB • City of Saint John Letter - Food Recovery Program — Government of Canada 6'tl October 26, 2022 Hon. Dorothy Shepard Minister of Social Development Government of New Brunswick Fredericton, NB Re: Investigation of Living Wage for the City of Saint John Dear Minister Shephard, On behalf of the City of Saint John, I am requesting that the Government of New Brunswick formally explore ideas to effectively implement a Living Wage in New Brunswick. Saint John is faced with high rates of poverty with 17.4% of our population in low income after tax (2 02 1 Census). Families are increasingly facing the difficult decision of paying for shelter or paying for food. While the minimum wage rate is $13.75, the living wage in Saint John is calculated at $21.60 (Human Development Council (HDC), 2022) As per the HDC Living Wages in New Brunswick 2022 report, "A living wage reflects the amount a household must earn to cover basic needs and live with dignity while enjoying a decent quality of life. This wage ensures a family can escape severe financial stress, support healthy child development, and actively participate in the social, civic, and cultural aspects of community life." The City of Saint John acknowledges offering a living wage can potentially affect small businesses. However, considering the amount of people struggling to make ends meet across our Province, especially as it relates to housing affordability, now is the time to explore this issue in a wholesome manner and generate viable solutions. The City of Saint John is prepared to be a willing stakeholder in that effort. I thank you in advance for your consideration on this matter. Yours Sincerely, Donna Noade-Reardon Mayor cc.

Dorothy Shepard Minister of Social Development Government of New Brunswick Fredericton, NB Re: Investigation of a Food Recovery Program for the City of Saint John Dear Minister Shephard, On behalf of the City of Saint John, I am requesting the Government of New Brunswick formally explore the development of an Edible Food Recovery Program for New Brunswick. This program could require large food providers, such as grocery store chains, to donate excess food that would otherwise be destined for a landfill, to community food banks or similar food distribution points. Food insecurity is a distressing challenge for many Saint John residents. Research conducted by the Human Development Council (2016) estimated on average 3000 individuals were assisted by local Saint John food banks per month. Further, 1 in 3 individuals needing a food bank in Saint John were children under the age of 18. It is widely understood that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and rising inflation have only exacerbated this issue. At the same time that our foodbanks are struggling to meet demand, large food distributors are forced to routinely throw away excess food that is near or just past its best -before date. The City of Saint John acknowledges that assuring food security for all is not easily attained, yet we trust the resources, and expertise found within the Government of New Brunswick, in partnership with the City of Saint John, other municipalities, and many community stakeholders, can effectively investigate the and perhaps even establish a made -in -New Brunswick sustainable food security solution similar to other programs that have successfully been established in other jurisdictions.

Canada EA 4L1 Canada E2L 4L1 61 www.saintjohn.ca SAINT J©HN r� 'The city of saint John PROCLAMATION WHEREAS. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men and women in Canada, accounting for more deaths than colon cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined; WHEREAS: Over 20,000 Canadians are expected to die of lung and bronchus cancer in 2022, representing nearly one quarter of all cancer deaths in Canada; WHEREAS: According to research by Canadian oncologists, lung cancer is expected to be the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canada, with over 30,000 new lung cancer cases expected in 2022; WHEREAS: The 5-year survival rate for localized lung cancer is 60%, yet only 24% of lung cancers are diagnosed at this stage; WHEREAS: Screening for lung cancer for high -risk individuals using low -dose computed tomography can lead to the earlier detection of lung cancer and save lives, reducing the mortality by 20% when compared to screening by chest x-ray in the National Lung Screening Trial and reducing the risk of death by 10 years by 24% in men and 33% in women as demonstrated by another large randomized trial; WHEREAS. Funding for lung cancer research trails far behind funding for research of many other cancers, and additional research is needed in early diagnosis, screening, and treatment for lung cancer as well as in lung cancer affecting women and lung cancer health disparities; WHEREAS: Organizations working in Canada such as the Canadian Lung Cancer Screening Initiative are committed to educating about lung cancer and lung cancer screening and working to increase lung cancer screening rates. NOW THEREFORE: I, Mayor Donna Noade Reardon, of Saint John do hereby proclaim November 2022 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month in The City of Saint John and recognized the need for research in lung cancer affecting women and lung cancer health disparities and encourage all citizens to learn about lung cancer and early detection through lung cancer screening.

There are a number of derelict buildings that have passed through several hands including the provincial government. These derelict buildings / fire traps often sit next to a building that is in very good shape. The folks living next to them are living in fear of fire and have even been evacuated in the middle of the night (seniors). Citizens in neighbourhoods are upset that their neighbourhoods are becoming eroded. I realize some of this is provincial legislation and power, some of which was taken away from Saint John 57 years ago. These rules and laws still exist and they hurt our city. We are fighting for our property tax dollars to stay in Saint John. The province should not be in the property tax business as it's not in 8 other provinces. The province also now controls when and where we have new schools. This power was also taken away by the province 57 years ago. The decision to fix up our neighbourhoods, build new schools (Saint John has had one new school in 57 years even though the province has built dozens of new schools and keeps almost 50% of our property tax) and Fredericton controls how many university courses and students we have which is the lowest in Atlantic Canada. I think Saint John would be better served if we kept all of our property taxes and had more power in Saint John. We live in Saint John and know what is best for Saint John. We also are much more motivated to fix up and grow our city. I have sent pictures of two buildings that have sat derelict for years and have now been given two more years to be in this state. This is not fair or safe for and to the neighbours and will hurt these neighbourhoods and hurt Saint Motion: That Council refers to Growth Committee for consideration a proposal to shorten or petition for the time period for fixing derelict buildings. The intent is for buildings to be fixed right away and in a way that they do not deteriorate neighbourhoods and the owners of unkept, unsafe vacant lots are made to clean and cut them on a regular basis. Should there be any impacts to existing resources or budgets related to this motion, they would be referred to Finance Committee for consideration. SAINT JOHN P.O.

We spend a lot our time, staff's time, and the public's time discussing the intent of the motion and what the mover is looking for in a result.

While we welcome many of the changes and have concerns about others, the City of Saint John is committed to continuing the conversation and we believe that we are stronger together than apart. In 2019, the Department of Environment and Local Government commissioned the "Greater Saint John Regional Task Force Analysis" by Gardner-Pinfold Consultants. This report (9. Gardner Pinfold - Greater Saint John Regional Task Force Analysis.pdf) focused on the costs incurred by the City of Saint John for being the regional hub of our area. The conclusion in the report states that it costs Saint John (conservatively) $12,295,309 annually to support roads, parks, recreation, police, fire and other services because of our usage of non -Saint John residents. Listening to the concerns of our neighbours, this report does only focus on Saint John, and does not take into account costs that regional communities may already incur that support Saint John. A fully informed debate will create better outcomes. Motion: The City of Saint John, through our representative Deputy Mayor MacKenzie, ask the Regional Services Commission to undertake a study that updates the Gardner-Pinfold — Greater Saint John Regional Task Force Analysis report to include the costs of all of our regional partners in supporting each other.

REPORT The Saint John 10-Year Strategic Plan ('Strategic Plan") 2023 — 2032 has been completed. The Plan identifies a renewed vision for the City and a set of long-term goals that will move our community forward in achieving this vision. The Strategic Plan is intended to guide how the City aligns municipal decisions, provide direction for service area work plans, develop long-term budgets, monitor progress, and manage performance to achieve desired outcomes. The Strategic Plan provides the overarching direction to all other municipal planning efforts, including Council's Priorities, Long -Term Financial Plans, PlanSJ, MoveSJ, PlaySJ, climate action plans, and all related plans and policies. The goal was to produce a plan that will inspire people to live, stay and move to Saint John. The plan must also instill confidence that the City is making progress and can deliver on the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan, as well as those in related strategies. While the plan is intended to be inspirational and uplift our E-lue -3- community, our citizens must be able to relate to the goals and objectives and give them a sense of warmth, inclusiveness, and connection. Vision, Mission, and Goals The renewed vision is an inspirational statement that describes a future Saint John. It describes what the community will look like in the future and sets the direction for planning strategies and implementing actions to achieve this vision.

Together, we will continue to foster growth, inclusion, and diversity, while strengthening our foundation of quality services and accountability, to help Saint Johners thrive. The mission statement supports the vision and serves to communicate purpose and direction to employees, customers, citizens, and other stakeholders. MISSION Grow the city. Serve the city. Be the city of choice. The Strategic Plan sets out four (4) goals for Saint John: vibrant, prosperous, service -oriented, and accountable. These strategic goals are inspirational in nature and align with the vision that was informed through public engagement, defining what we need to focus on to achieve the desired long-term outcomes for Saint John.

The Saint John Shape Your City site will be updated with the contents of the final 10 Year Strategic Plan. Paper copies will be available at the Customer Service Counter in City Hall Shape Your City and the City's website will be updated with on -going progress and performance measures to demonstrate the City's commitment to achieving the goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan to the public with our partners. Shape Your City will also allow for on -going dialog with the community to ensure that the goals, objectives, and actions reflect the needs and interests of the community.

This would include any changes in the financial, social, and natural environment as well as outcomes from municipal My -6- reform. This review may result in adjustments to the targets outlined in one or more objectives and/or how actions are defined, sequenced, and/or carried out. As part of the City's performance management system, objectives will be measured and reported to the public. Reporting progress on initiatives and adjustments to the Strategic Plan will also be reported to the public. This Strategic Plan is a living document intended to help Saint John grow upward and create a place where everyone can thrive over the next 10 years and beyond. It will be reviewed at regular intervals with support from an ad hoc Committee of Council, comprised of Members of Council as appointed by the Nominating Committee, to adapt to opportunities, challenges, and financial capacity. While actions and/or timelines may be changed over the next ten years, the focus will be on continuing to achieve the vision and goals set out in the Saint John 10-Year Strategic Plan. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The 10-Year Strategic Plan is the overarching planning document for the City. Council's Priorities and other strategic planning documents align with the Strategic Plan to ensure that resources are used wisely and in areas that derive maximum benefit. SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The 10-Year Strategic Plan will provide a framework for coordinating strategic actions and service over the long-term in a balanced and sustainable way. The costs to complete the 10-Year Strategic Plan were minimal and the funding was allocated in the 2022 operating budget. The more significant service and financial impacts will come in implementing the Strategic Plan's actions over the next ten years. The Strategic Plan lays out focused objectives and actions over a ten (10) year timeframe. The necessary work to complete these actions must be balanced with the delivery of public services that our residents, businesses, and visitors value every day. Timelines must remain realistic with timely adjustments to adapt to opportunities and challenges that will arise over the next decade. A high-level resourcing exercise (time, labour, money) completed to finalize the Strategic Plan will inform the development of long-term budgets to realize the vision. The actions within the Strategic Plan require significant investment. A rough order of magnitude is difficult to project without detailed planning on each of the actions. Throughout the life of the plan, costs will be captured to fully understand the financial impact. 019] -7- There are several actions within the plan that will require significant funding, both capital and on -going operating costs. A healthy growth rate in Saint John, partnerships, and detailed planning that starts well in advance of anticipated timelines will be needed to implement these actions. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Elements of the plan have been completed in consultation with many stakeholders, including but not limited to, the Steering Committee, Staff Working Group, Senior Leadership Team, select City employees, third -party engagements, and public consultation participants. This report has been reviewed by members of the Working Group including Corporate Performance.

Building on this concept, Council has established catalytic growth initiatives that will drive transformational outcomes for Saint John, further uplifting the City. These projects must meet key criteria from an economic development standpoint. They must also advance the City's aspirational goals related to growth; be significant enough to stimulate spillover effects that will spur much larger growth efforts; and require partnerships with other levels of government and the community. The following eight high -impact initiatives are the City of Saint John's top priorities for catalytic growth. They will play an important role in addressing critical infrastructure and partnerships needed to propel the City forward. FOUR KEY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS: QInnovative Central Peninsula Learning Commons ® Redevelopment of Fundy Quay ®A new comprehensive recreational facility aInvestment in industrial parks FOUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS: 0 Comprehensive tax reform 1) Matching dollars for bilateral funding Affordable housing Post -secondary education 110 16 BUILDING ON OUR CURRENT PLANS The many actions laid out in our Strategic Plan make a conscious commitment to update, develop and implement community and service plans. Our Strategic Plan has been evaluated to ensure all plans are properly resourced and balanced to achieve the City of Saint John's desired outcomes. COUNCIL PRIORITIES Saint John Common Council has adopted five priorities for the 2021-26 term: Grow, Green, Belong, Move and Perform. These priorities will guide all aspects of municipal activities, policies, procedures and budgets. LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLAN This plan ensures the City can afford to provide reliable services and sound infrastructure for the next decade and beyond. It also provides a foundation for targets to be implemented in annual budgets. PIanSJ Our municipal land -use plan guides development and investment in Saint John and ensures planning decisions made by the City over a 25-year planning period will serve the long-term best interests of the whole community. MoveSJ Moving people and goods throughout the City requires a balanced transportation network. MoveSJ, which will guide transportation infrastructure investments within Saint John for the next 25 years, integrates active shared modes of transportation and supports sustainable development, healthy communities and a vibrant urban core. PIaySJ The strategic plan for parks and recreation strives to meet the community's recreational needs while staying within our financial means. It provides guidelines and recommendations on how best to improve our quality of life and make Saint John a more attractive place to live, work and play. GROWTH PLANS Economic and population growth will determine Saint John's future. The City's growth plans include our Population Growth Framework and associated growth plans developed by the City's agencies, boards and committees, including the neighbourhood plans and the plan to accelerate the catalytic growth initiatives. WORK PLANS Annual work plans are created to carry out initiatives as described by respective plans. Work plans capture timelines as well as human and financial resources.

No About your Request `N Topic of Presentation: Second Harvest Food Rescue Purpose for Presentation (what is the ask of Council): For the Council to promote the Second Harvest Food Rescue App to local businesses in Saint John to help reduce the amount of unnecessary food waste in the city. Background Information: 58% of all food produced in Canada is wasted every year. 32% of this food, or 11.2 million metric tons, could be used to nourish the more than 5.8 million Canadians experiencing household food insecurity every day. At Second Harvest, we work with food businesses throughout the supply chain to identify good, surplus food, and to forge local community partnerships that allow businesses to support not -for -profit organizations. Our free Second Harvest Food Rescue App makes donating surplus food simple and efficient, streamlining the donation process. The app tracks data for businesses in real time, including: number of meals provided, dollar value of food donated, and greenhouse gas equivalents averted. We also offer free training and education opportunities to our partners and the public. These opportunities help individuals and groups to prevent food waste, uphold municipal & provincial food safety standards, and improve food literacy & nutrition.
