A review of the program was performed by the City’s Internal Audit team with support and significant input from the Growth and - 2 - Community Support Services team.

The fund ensures that financial resources are allocated efficiently and effectively to support the activities and initiatives of P.R.O. Kids, promoting the well-being and development of allyouth involved.Over the first half of 2024,the Special Purpose Fund program and sustainability processes were examined in response to the growing community need for financial support offered by the P.R.O. Kids program for registration, equipment, and transportation costs. Changes implemented aim to improve program management and financial oversight. The review resulted in three key changes to be implemented to the Special Purpose Fund: 1. Seasonal Application Windows: Transitioning from an open, year-round application window to a seasonal approach. This change will enhance program oversight and better manage application volumes, enabling P.R.O. Kids to allocate appropriate funds for each season. Additionally, it will help us set spending limits and determine when to close applications. (Attachment A) 2. Invoicing Guidelines: P.R.O. Kids will implement stricter invoicing guidelines with set deadlines. This will provide a clearer reflection of the program budget. (Attachment B) 3. Eligibility Requirements: P.R.O Kids is revising applicant eligibility criteria. Instead of only requiring references, applicants will now need to provide proof of income, using a matrix for assessment that has been developed by the Human Development Council accurately reflecting our community. (Attachment C). This is a common requirement in similar programs such as the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program. Over the coming months the team will continue to implement program and sustainability process improvements, providing updates to our clients and partners along the way. These improvements will ensure sustainability and accountability of the P.R.O, Kids Program to continue to provide essential opportunities for youth to participate in recreational activities that promote their well-being and development. In addition to the three above mentioned process improvement updates, The P.R.O. Kids advisory Committee is also seeking approval revisions to its Terms of Reference Document (Attachment D). - 4 - STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council’s Priorities of BELONG by enhancing the quality of life and social well-being by offering recreation, arts, and cultural opportunities to align with PlaySJ. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Implementing these changes will ensuremore efficient and sustainable program management. These improvements not only increase accountability of financial responsibility, but it also provides the ability to have dedicated time to the operations of, as well as for critical functions of the program such as organizing events and conducting fundraising activities. Implementation of process improvements will result in overall effectiveness and impact of the program, fostering a more dynamic and well-rounded experience for clients and partners.

Kids City of Saint John 47 Charlotte St, Saint John, NB, E2L2H8 prokidspayments@saintjohn.ca Pro Kids Income Thresholds Calculation Methodology Step 1. Median before-tax income for Census Families with children in the Saint John Census Metropolitan Area was collected from 2000 to 2021. The data was only available up to 2021, so, an estimation was made for 2024 using a projection. Step 2. The 2024 estimated median before-tax income was converted into after-tax (net) income. This was done by estimating how much Census Families tend to pay in income tax. Step 3. The calculated median net income was then multiplied by 75%. 75% of median income represents a low to moderate income threshold. Step 4. The average family size for Census Families with children (3.4) was applied to the 75% of median net income to create a reference family data point. Step 5. The reference family data point was adjusted for different family sizes. Income thresholds were created for families of sizes 2-10+. Step 6. The income thresholds were then formatted and rounded to the nearest multiples of $500. Income Thresholds Table Family Size Income Threshold 2 $53,500 3 $65,500 4 $76,000 5 $85,000 6 $93,000 7 $100,500 8 $107,000 9 $113,500 10+ $120,000 Please see the Excel Spreadsheet Income Thresholds Calculation Pro Kids.xlsx for the calculations.

RESOLVED That Common Council authorize the refunding of the $2,650 application fee forthe Zoning By-law rezoning application. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to advise Common Council of thenecessity to restart the Zoning By-law Rezoningapplicationpreviouslyreceived for 1670 Hickey Road and part of 1676 Hickey Road due to an administrative error and to recommend an appropriate public hearing datefor thisapplication. The next available public hearing dateisTuesday,September 3, 2024. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION At its meeting of May 13, 2024, Common Council scheduled a Public Hearing date of July 8, 2024, for the Zoning By-lawrezoning application submitted by Joyce E. Barrett for 1670 Hickey Road (PID: 55221790and part of PID 55198410). At its meeting of August 3, 2004, Common Council resolved that: 1. the Commissioner of Planning and Development receive all applications for amendments to the Zoning By-law and Section 39 \[now referred as section 59\] resolutions/agreements and proceed to prepare the required advertisements; and - 2 - 2. when applications are received a report will be prepared recommending the appropriate resolution setting the time and place for public hearings and be referred to the Planning Advisory Committee as required by the Community Planning Act. REPORT In response to the motion above, this report indicates that an error was identified in referencing the civic address for the partial PID (1676 Hickey Road) in the Public Notice, which is a legislative requirement established in the Community Planning Act. Due to this error, the previously held components of the approval process, including the posting of the Public Notice, the Planning Advisory Committee Meeting and the Public Hearing, must reoccur. An updated timeline has been established for the application and the applicant has been informed of the situation. A new public hearing date must be scheduled, to enable the required public notification to be undertaken as per the Community Planning Act. Details of the application is available in documentation at the public hearing. The following application has been received for the Tuesday, September 3, 2024 Public Hearing date: Name of Location Existing Proposed Reason Applicant Zone Zone Joyce E. 1670 Hickey Two-Unit Neighbourhood To facilitate the Barrett Road (PID: Residential Community development of a 00049916) (R2) Facility (CFN) second special and part of care residence. 1676 Hickey Road (part of PID 55198410) Due to an administrative error causing the rescheduling of the public hearing, staff recommend refunding the application fee. Typically, fee refunds for withdrawn applications can be approved by City staff, but Zoning By-law amendment refunds require Common Council authorization. Staff recommend refunding the fees due to the error, as it impacts our ability to provide excellent customer service and adhere to the processing timelines outlined previously. In 2023, a similar refund was issued for a Rezoning application due to an advertising issue. Additionally, based on the Planning Advisory Committee's review and the Common Council's granting of 1st and 2nd readings, staff will issue a temporary use approval for the project. This will allow the applicant to begin their project while the planning process is completed. - 3 - Staff are conducting an After-Action Review to identify process improvements and eliminate the risk of similar errors related to legislative requirements for public notification. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT While the holding of public hearings for proposed Zoning By-law amendments and rezonings are a legislative requirement of the Community Planning Act, it is also a key component of a clear and consistent land development processes envisioned in the One Stop Development Shop Program. These processes provide transparency and predictability for the development community and City residents. On a broader note, the development approval process works towards fulfilling key Council priorities including: Facilitate a mix of affordable housing in all our neighbourhoods; Achieve 3% annual property tax base growth and ongoing work to increase the target. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The scheduling of the public hearing and referral to the Planning Advisory Committee satisfies the legislative and service requirements as mandated by the Community Planning Act. The proposed refund of the application fee will result in any expenditures for the the cost recovery associated with the application fee. This includes the cost of the required mailout to properties located within 100 metres of the subject site. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The General Counsel Office was involved in the assessment of the error and determining the requirement to restart the approval process.

REPORT The 2024 General Fund Capital Program includes funds for the rehabilitation of the Millidge Avenue boat ramp. The work involves the removal of the existing asphalt ramp and the installation of a fully textured concrete boat ramp, which includes a floating dock and aluminum pedestrian gangway. The work also includes the replacement of the sanitary sewer overflow of the Millidge Avenue Lift Station, roadway granular material, asphalt roadway, and signage. The Tender th for this project closed on April 9, 2024 and a recommendation for award was th made at the Council session on April 15 2024. Construction is expected to begin in early July 2024 and continue until mid-September 2024. Through the City's ongoing communication with public stakeholders and residents, it was determined that parking restrictions should be implemented adjacent to the newly installed boat ramp. The proposed "no-parking" zone will extend from the water to the lot at Civic 1041 (PID 00048447). This amendment will primarily affect those using the boat ramp, as this is a dead-end street. and held a public information session to facilitate community engagement regarding construction activities. Throughout these discussions, numerous residents and members of the boating community raised concerns about the obstruction caused by vehicles parking too close to the boat ramp. This hinders the maneuverability of vehicles loading and unloading boats. By restricting parking in this area, access for all users of the boat ramp infrastructure will be substantially improved. Should Council proceed with first and second readings of the proposed Amendments to the Saint John Parking By-laws, staff would plan to return for the signs directly adjacent to the newly installed boat ramp. - 3 - STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT upgrading accessibility to our oceans/rivers. In addition, through exploring funding opportunities such as the RDC funding, the City leverages viable opportunities to renew its infrastructure. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Amending the Traffic By-law in support of this infrastructure renewal project is anticipated to be revenue neutral. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Utilities and Infrastructure Services, as well as Parking, have provided input. Input from the community through multiple stakeholder meetings in the design phase in addition to the Public Engagement session held with local residents as previously stated in the report.

There havebeen many instances where police, ambulance and fire has had to attend onsite at 124 Waterloo Streetin the last 3 months. I feel that it is essential for the protection of the most vulnerable on the site and the most vulnerable in the community to have supports in place to help ensure the safety and security of the area. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: Belong, Grow, Green, Perform SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES: This would only require writing and sending a letter with potentially a follow-upemail. I would be happy to do up a draft letter with the guidance from council on the messaging that they would likeif they are supportive. There are no finances needed to spend on creating this item however the savings could be substantial for the city if resources of fire and police are decreased. If police and fire could report on how many calls are happening to the site from now on, we could then report accurately if there is security issued from the province in the future to see what that cost savings is alone as a KPI. I have not consulted with Council prior to drawing this up but have shared my concerns in the past on this. COUNCIL NOTICE OF MOTION Received DateJuly17,2024 Meeting DateJuly22,2024 Open or ClosedOpen Session Her Worship Mayor Donna Noade Reardon and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Proposed Community Safety Services Unit Primary AuthorInput from CouncilInput from Staff Cara Coes, Marc Dionne, Paula Radwan David Dobbelstein, Chris McKiel, Brent McGovern PROPOSED MOTION: That the CAO be directedto have staff get a budget estimate together for a Community Safety Services Unit and proposed timeline on forming one and report back to councilinapproximately six weeks. That Council suspend the provision 16:27 of the Procedural By-law and allow the motion to be discussed and voted on during this meeting following the presentation from the Housing for all Strategy discussion. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: There is a plan being established to oversee the management of encampmentsand assisting our unhoused communityand community as a whole. The scope of the Community Safety Services Unit needs to fall within the bounds of bylaw officers and a program needs to be set up where bylaw officers know what is in their scope and whento call for police if things are out of their scope. To ensure the safety and security of all residents, proactive community intervention at encampments, sea cans and in public spaces, the Community Safety Services Unit would help not only assist with safety but also be anambassador for the City of Saint John. The scope that should be considered may include: overseeing green, yellow and red zones, site cleanup services, taking non-emergency callswhen they come into city hall, evaluation of sharps container placementand site visitation. These are just a few examples that staff may deem part of the scope and it is essential that police, fire and GNB be consulted on the scope of staff work and training needs/ uniform needs that should follow. Some of the co use, assaults, verbal abuse to public, aggression displayed to the public, unsightly premises complaints including garbage and build up of debris/ personal items,destructionof property, break and enters, defecation on public land openly, masturbation and sexual activity in public spaces. Some of the staff concerns heard includes; numerous complaints from the public, aggression and abuse to staff from residents including but not limited to verbal threats, threats to stab staff with used needles, breaking bottles and using them to threaten staff to use it as a weapon against them, sexual activity and open drug use. The safety of our staff is of the upmost importance. I feel that some of these complaints that come in can be mitigated with prevention through community engagement and enforcement when needed. I see this position assisting our current staff like Local 18 that are coming into contact with community members, like in parks and recreation areas, which are in contact with people in our public spaces and of course any and all staff that are working in public spaces. There are timelines laid out in the Housing for all Strategy but waiting for them, I fear may increase our cost and scale of urgency. I feel that we need to look at putting actions forward now and I think as a temporary position(s) which would come out of reserves. The situation is scaling up every single month, therefore organizing this now may help us save money in the future. Note: I would ask to discuss possibly putting this motion forward after the Housing for all Strategy is put forth ot, then it will only be read in the minutes of the meeting to be held in 1 . STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: Belong, Grow, Green, Preform SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES: It is my understanding that there was a balance of approximately 6,546,890 million dollars in operating reserves in 2023 (taken from November 29,2023 meeting) COUNCIL NOTICE OF MOTION Received DateJuly, 182024 nd Meeting DateJuly 222024 Open or ClosedOpen Session Her Worship Mayor Donna Noade Reardon and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Responibilities in Municipalities Primary AuthorInput from CouncilInput from Staff Deputy Mayor Fire Chief and CAO MacKenzie PROPOSED MOTION: Whereas municipalities have expressed some concerns over lack of flexibility, inconsistent enforcement and the overruling of Local Assistants to the Fire Marshal. Be it resolved thatCommon Councilrecommendthe roles and responsibilities oftheFire Marshal Office within the context of fire code enforcement, appeals, plans review, public education and fire investigations be reviewed by the Unionof Municipalities of New Brunswick (UMNB). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: While fire safety regulations are essential for ensuring the safety of buildings and occupants, they can sometimes create barriers or challenges for municipalities or organizations. The Fire Prevention Act supersedes almost every other Act due to the potential lifesafety implications. Municipalities have expressed concerns over: 1.Lack of Flexibility: Fire marshal regulations are designed to ensure the highest level of safety, but they may not always account for unique circumstances or alternative fire safety measures. This lack of flexibility can be frustrating for individuals or organizations that have innovative approaches to fire safety but are unable to implement them due to rigid compliance requirements. 2. Inconsistent Enforcement: Different fire marshals or local assistants across multiple jurisdictions may interpret and enforce fire safety regulations differently. This inconsistency can lead to confusion and frustration for individuals or organizations operating in multiple locations or seeking clarity on specific compliance requirements. Under the current structure Fire Prevention Officers are designated Local Assistants to the Fire Marshal. They carry out their duties on behalf of the Provincial Fire Marshal, but ultimately work under the Provincial Fire Marshal. The intent of this motion is to explore whether a more collaborative approach can be realized through the UMNB. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: The motion aligns with the Council priorities of Grow and Perform. The intent is to increase efficiency and show that the City of Saint John is open for growth while ensuring the best use of our resources.

Brent McGovern Dobbelsteyn RECOMMENDATION The Public Safety Committee Recommends: That the Housing for All Homelessness Strategy be adoptedby Common Council and that Common Council direct the CAO todirect staff to: 1.begin implementation of the strategy; and 2.bring a resourcing plan to Common Council on an annual basis for the duration of the strategy for their consideration as part of annual budget deliberations and 3.more urgent timelines; and 4.a clear discernible ask. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Housing for All Homelessness Strategy identifies our coordinated response to address homelessness over the next three years (2024 to 2027). The delivery of the action plan will collectively result in transitioning more people experiencing homelessness into permanent housing, greater coordination of services, providing additional places to sleep, reducing unhoused sites scattered throughout the city, and pilot projects that could be used in other communities if successful in Saint John. - 2 - PREVIOUS RESOLUTION July 18, 2024 Public Safety Committee RESOLVED that as recommended by the Chief Administrative Officer in the submitted report entitled: Housing for All: A Homelessness Strategy. That the Public Safety Committee endorse the Housing for All Homelessness Strategy and recommend its adoption by Common Council and that Common Council direct the CAO to: 1. begin implementation of the strategy; and 2. bring a resourcing plan to Common Council on an annual basis for the duration of the strategy for their consideration as part of annual budget deliberations and 3. more urgent timelines; and 4. a clear discernible ask. April 2, 2024 Council received and filed a presentation from the CAO on the 2024 Corporate Work Plan, which included Housing For All: Develop recommendations sness using a policy approach, in partnership with other levels of government.

REPORT Housing is a basic human right, a fundamental building block of a healthy, inclusive, sustainable community. Home is where we extend our roots to build our lives, nurture ourselves and our loved ones, and engage in our community. Background Late fall 2023, the Housing for All Vision Statement was presented to the Public Safety Committee for discussion and approval to bring forward to Council. Work completed in developing this vision statement involved extensive research, interviews and discussions with subject matter experts, community agencies and other partners. This work provided necessary direction in development of the - 3 - The Housing for All Vision Statement was adopted by Council in December 2023. sustainable home. In the spirit of the right to adequate housing articulated in the ity of Saint John wishes for its residents to live in security, peace, and dignity, regardless of community spaces for access by all its residents, while supporting individuals as they Overview Housing affects everyone, in turn affecting the health of our community, impacting healthcare resources, crime and safety, and yields profound physical, mental, and emotional strains. Despite these challenges, our community is working together to support people experiencing homelessness through prevention and diversion initiatives, collaborating on creative solutions, and . As stated in the 2022-2025 New Brunswick Action Plan; 2018-2028 CMHC New Brunswick Bilateral Agreement Under the National Housing Strategy: homelessness by operationalizing and implementing the New Brunswick Housing Strategy A Home for Everyone (2019-2029), the federal homelessness strategy sing, Health and Designating safe spaces for all community members, as well as creating space for individuals residing in unhoused sites is in accordance with the Human Rights Act. Ensuring services are accessible for our homeless supports this vulnerable population and strengthens the health and safety of our greater community. Recognizing that this will take time, and that traditional approaches may not fit he city, province, and community agencies are working together to help the homeless population. Process Through continued research, interviews, and stakeholder engagement, the team has gathered and evaluated inputs from external and internal discussions. It is clear through these conversations that a collaborative approach is imperative in developing and strengthening tools and resources to better support those living rough. - 4 - Regular input on the development of the Housing for All Homelessness Strategy was sought through an iterative process from all City Departments, Saint John Police, the Government of New Brunswick, Community agencies, and the Public Safety Committee. This feedback has provided valuable insight pertaining to how we can continue to work together to further increase coordination and ultimately help move Saint John closer to a state where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. Next Steps With Council approval of the Housing for All Homelessness Strategy, for actions where the City is identified as a Lead or a Partner, staff will begin to implement the actions of the four objectives identified: Coordination and Governance, Emergency Supports, Prevention, Education and Safety, Housing Supports. Staff will provide regular updates on the strategy to both the Public Safety Committee and Common Council. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The actions in the strategy where the City is the lead will require individual project plans and will likely require additional staff or financial resources to be delivering the strategy have not yet been fully identified and they will be actively sought from senior levels of government and in partnership with our front-line agencies. The City of Saint John is actively working in collaboration with the Province of New Brunswick and Community Agencies. To date, staff time, cleanup of vacated shelters on city property, and garbage pickup from unhoused sites have been financially supported by the city. Costs incurred for cleanup of vacated shelters deemed to pose safety risks in 2023 were just under $100,000. The City continues to support site cleanup efforts costing approximately $54,000 (2024 YTD). In addition to this investment, internal in-kind resources are used for cleanups, collection of garbage, as well as administrative efforts. There have been over 200 calls for service YTD to the Saint John Fire Department related to smoke or fires, near or at encampment sites. 56% of respondents to the 2023 Point in Time Count interacted with Police in the past year. - 5 - The action plan is designed to be flexible, the time frames are high level estimates, but are subject to change based on overall project and community needs. Specific measurable outcomes and timelines will be developed as the various actions begin to be implemented. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The development of the Housing for All Homelessness Strategy was developed with the support of all City departments and under the guidance of the Public Safety Committee. A list of contributors to the development of strategy is listed in the strategy appendix.

Public nudity, random public masturbation, encampments randomly popping up everywhere. There appears to be no municipal response. The police just running from call to call, but no proactive presence of policing. True anarchy emergency and we need to apply human resources and we need to do it fast. is there any conversation around this thought? its quite apparent on the streets at the moment that the city is just keeping its head down. Nothing from the Mayor, nothing from the Police Chief, ....just nothing. I know you live it like we live it. What are we going to do ? Citizens are beginning to consider and discuss actions that will lead to vigilantism. We are on the edge. 46Waterloo Street Saint John,NB E2L 3P3 (P) 506-638-1409 July 17, 2024 Saint John City Council and Public Safety Committee; Subject: Request for Exemptions in Fire Bylaw for Homeless Individuals I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposedfire bylaw, which lacks provisions or exemptions for unhousedindividuals. While I understand the necessity of fire safety regulations to protect public health and safety, it is crucial to consider the unique and vulnerable situation of the unhousedpopulation in our community. Government responses to encampment safety often fail to employ a rights-based approach. In many cases, the issues associated with encampments fall within the responsibility of municipal authorities, through bylaws specific to policing, fire and safety, sanitation, and social services. This has led to a pattern whereby municipal governments deploy bylaws, local police, and zoning policies that displace people in encampments, even unintentionally. This displacement compromises the physical and psychological health of people who have no place to go and who rely on encampments to survive in the absence of accessible alternatives. The fire department should never beweaponizedagainst people in encampments, as they can be one of the last systems in place that people trust. The absence of exemptions or special considerations for unhousedindividuals places an undue burden on those who are already struggling to meet their basic needs. For many, encampment fires are a means of survival, providing warmth, the ability to cook food, and a sense of security. Enforcing strict fire bylaws withoutany exemptions for the unhousednot only criminalizes their existence but also exacerbates their hardships. Municipalities often cite health, safety, and fire concerns to enact bylaws, but these concerns are rarely informed by the lived experiences of encampment residents and the very real possibility of death they face. This approach undermines the safety of our unhoused population, further displacing them inincreasingly insecure and unsafe situations where their needs and presence are made invisible. We also need to be cognizant of the fact that other bylaws implemented in cities across Canada have been foundby the Supreme Court to violate the liberty and security of the person rights of unhoused people, as protected by Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is imperative that our bylaws do not infringe upon these fundamental rights. Additionally, we must ensure that any bylaws are not grossly disproportionate to any benefit that the city might derive from furthering its objectives. I would also like to highlight the current shelter situation in Saint John. At present, there are only 67 shelter beds available, and with the addition of the Out of the Cold (OTC) shelter in the winter, this number will increase by only 45 beds, for a total of 112 beds. There are just under 700 individuals unhoused in our city and increasing every day. Accord adequate housing, whether formal or informal, "housing must provide its residents with safety, security, and dignity and must contain those services that are necessary for protecting human life, including water, sanitation, heating, and cooking facilities." I respectfully request that the fire bylaw be amended to include reasonable exemptions or alternatives for unhoused individuals. In addition to the current provision of fire safety education and resource collaboration by frontline agencies and the fire department examples of exemptions could include a complete exemption, designated safe areas where small, controlled fires are permitted, or a collaboration to create or obtain safe collapsable fire pits and use outreach teams to facilitate this to ensure that the fire safety needs of the homeless population are met without compromising their survival. It is essential for our community to address the needs of all its members, including the most vulnerable. By incorporating exemptions for homeless individuals into the fire bylaw, we can take a compassionate and practical approach that balances safety with humanity. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and to explore possible solutions that can benefit everyone in our community. Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I look forward to your response.
