REPORT
digital imaging equipment expired on September 30,
2024, although service continued to be received on a month-to-month basis at the
rates under the expired contract until a new agreement was in place.
Digital imaging equipment supports numerous business processes for the City of
Saint John and its Commissions. Print and copy processes include but are not
limited to reporting, customer applications, permits, court documents and
invoices. Scanned receipts and invoices are uploaded as part of the procurement
process.
The managed print service provides for the maintenance of the units, replacement
of consumables and monitoring of usage to enable quarterly billing. All of which
is included in the cost per copy charge as outlined in the attached agreement.
Since 2018, the City of Saint John has participated in the Tri-City Joint Purchasing
Agreement with the City of Moncton to procure digital imaging equipment and
services. Moncton led the procurement process while partnering with Saint John
to develop the proposal terms and conditions and requirements. Both cities
participated in the review, selection and recommendation for the award.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The recommendation aligns with priority to Perform, ensuring
technology is used to streamline work processes and service delivery.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Among the City and its Commissions, there are 36 devices, a mix of colour and
black and white, at various locations to be replaced and form the new agreement.
The existing seven-year-old fleet will be replaced with Xerox® AltaLink® Series
which are highly capable, versatile, secure, sustainable, with innovative
technologies such as AI workflows that will adapt well to a new ERP System.
Costs have been estimated over the 60-month agreement and the one (12-month)
optional period. The estimated cost of renting 26 digital imaging units including
managed print services is $113,561.88 +HST per year. Total costs for the aggregate
60-month agreement of the contract are approximately $567,809.40 +HST. Should
a one (12-month) optional period be extended, the aggregate cost of the life of
the agreement is $681,371.28.
There is some flexibility in the agreement to add or remove units and as well, the
managed print services agreement monitors usage and can provide improvement
recommendations in areas such as model and optimal placement of the units.

REPORT
Public Works and Transportation Services. Graders are commonly used in the
construction and maintenance of dirt and gravel roads. Graders are also often
used in municipal snow removal, as a primary snow clearing piece of equipment
and post storm for the removal of anchor ice.
The Grader in this report is to replace unit 677, a 2007 John Deere Grader, which
was purchased on May 1, 2007, and entered service on September 18, 2007.
Unit 677 currently has an odometer reading of 9,886 hours and has an ORP of
over 29. The unit has incurred $530,181.16 in lifetime maintenance cost with
$74,590.64 occurring in the last 15 months and is quickly approaching the end of
its useful life. The escalating lifetime maintenance cost for this unit is expected
to continue with continued operation and has surpassed the initial purchase
price of this unit.
The new Grader in this report is a like for like asset renewal and the
specifications developed for this proposed replacement are aligned with our
existing fleet, to ensure ease of transition and training for staff. This piece of
equipment was considered a toolbox via the Continuous Improvement Fleet
Utilization projects and deemed necessary for service delivery. The tentative
delivery date on the new grader is four (4) months.

ANALYSIS
With a comprehensive terms of reference document developed by staff, a public
call for proposals was made for consulting engineering services. The Request for
Proposal (RFP) closed on December 18, 2024, with responses received from the
following two (2) consulting engineering companies:
CBCL Limited, Saint John, NB
R.V. Anderson Associates Limited, Fredericton, NB
A Review Committee consisting of staff from Supply Chain Management and
Utilities and Infrastructure Services (Operations and Engineering) was formed to
evaluate the submissions. Each member completed an independent review of the
submissions, and a Committee meeting was held to develop the final ranking of
submissions.
The evaluation process uses the expertise of a variety of staff from Supply Chain
Management, Operations and Engineering to ensure a thorough review of the
various submissions. Care must be taken to ensure that the necessary level of
effort and expertise is being directed to the various tasks involved in the work,
while still ensuring that costs to be incurred are appropriate and controllable. It is
for these reasons that cost, although very important, cannot be the sole nor most
critical deciding factor in making the selection of a consulting engineering firm.
The Committee was tasked with the role of reviewing each submission against the
proposal evaluation criteria as defined in the proposal call document. The criteria
consisted of the following:
1. Quality and Completeness Has the proposal addressed all of the needs
raised? Is the proposal presented in an organized and professional
manner?
2. Has the proposal demonstrated a level of
expertise with the requirements of this project?
3. Experience of Employees / Sub-Consultants Has the proposal
demonstrated a level of expertise for the employees of the company and
sub-consultants listed?
4. Methodology Does the approach to the project outlined in the proposal
address, in a realistic sense, attainable goals and is it keeping with the

allowed for each aspect of the project to be addressed adequately?
After careful, independent consideration of presentation, company experience,
personnel and technical proposal, the Review Committee compiled the findings of
proposals were opened and evaluated. The financial proposals were submitted
separately and were not part of the technical review. It was determined that the
Review Committee would assemble a list of questions for each Consultant to
address areas of their proposals where the Review Committee requested
clarification.
After due consideration, the Review Committee selected the submission from
CBCL Limited as the best proposal based on an overall rating of the evaluation
criteria presentation, company experience, personnel, technical proposal, value
added, and cost. The submission from CBCL Limited met all the requirements of
the proposal call, in a manner acceptable to the committee.

ties for GROW, GREEN, and PERFORM. The
replacement and raising of the UV System accounts for population growth, climate
change impacts, as well as improves UV efficiency.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The proposed cost of work for CBCL to provide engineering design and
construction management services for the Millidgeville Wastewater Treatment
Facility Ultraviolet Disinfection System Upgrades project is $757,447.50,
including HST.
This cost is based on an estimated 25-week construction management period,
beginning in 2025 and with the majority of the construction taking place in 2026.
An amount of $4,202,235 ($1,461,647 Other Share and $2,740,588 City Share) is
- 5 -
included in the approved Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Funding Agreement
for the design and construction of the Millidgeville Wastewater Treatment Facility
Ultraviolet Disinfection System Upgrades project.
It was originally anticipated based on the funding submission timing that some of
the work within this funding program would be completed in 2023, however due
the formal approval process. As a result, several Capital projects related to this
funding program have already been approved in the 2023 and 2024 Utility Fund
Capital Programs. In the 2023 Utility Fund Capital Program there was $216,300
Utility Share allocated, as well as $1,681,134 allocated in the 2024 Utility Fund
Capital Program to complete design and a portion of construction services. It is
expected that the remainder of required Utility Share funding for this project will
be approved .
Engineering fees to cover the costs of design and construction management
generally do not exceed 15-20% of the total overall project cost, depending on the
nature of the project and the engineering services required. This upset fee is
approximately 18.0% of the total estimated project cost.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS

RECOMMENDATION
1.That Common Council adopt the attached by-law amendment entitled “By-law No.C.P.

ANALYSIS
Background
On December 15, 2014, Common Council adopted the current Zoning By-Law (ZoneSJ)which
outlined the refund process for different types of planning applications. The ability and authority
to authorize refunds varies by application type. While refund requests are not common, refund
requests for applications associated with amending the Zoning By-Law or Section 59 Conditions
are noteworthy as Common Council was established as the authority to consider these refunds.
Page 1 of 5
City of Saint John Zoning By-Law: Administrative AmendmentsDecember 5, 2024
As part of a broader commitment to service enhancements, the Community Planning Service
Area initiates amendments to the Zoning By-Law to improve existing processes and respond to
emerging trends in urban planning and land development.
The proposed amendments will establish a streamlined refund process for planning applications
and will reduce red tape by granting City administration the authority to authorize refund
requests.
Best Practice
In order to prepare these amendments, staff assessed the approach taken by other
municipalities regarding planning application refunds. The information gathered helped guide
the development of the proposed amendments.
In Fredericton, full refunds are granted if an application is withdrawn before public notification.
However, once public notification has occurred, refunds are not offered.
Halifax provides a 50% refund if an application is withdrawn before public notification. After
public notification, no refunds are issued. For development permits and variances, Halifax does
not issue any refunds once payment is made.
In Moncton, a partial refund is available if an application is withdrawn before it is reviewed by
the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). If public notice has been issued, the refund is the
application fee minus the public notice costs. The same policy applies to variances handled by
the Development Officer, where the refund is the application fee minus any public notice costs if
withdrawn before the Development Officer's decision.
Our current refund process varies based on planning application type, ranging from specific
guidelines for refunding Development Permit applications to Common Council having full
discretion for granting refunds for Zoning By-Law and Section 59 amendments. The criteria
established for refunding Development Permits, which is similar to Moncton, represents a clear
approach with defined criteria.
Amending the fee refund components of the Zoning By-Law will improve clarity and reduce red
tape by allowing administrative staff to handle refunds, rather than requiring Council to assent to
each refund request. This change is part of our ongoing effort to improve the functionality of the
Zoning By-Law and to improve the customer experience.
An overview of the proposed amendments is provided below.

requests efficiently, and without authorization from Common Council. By undertaking of these
amendments, staff are ensuring that the Zoning By-law continues to evolve to meet the
changing needs of the community.

only major cityin New Brunswickthat does nothave such a by-law.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) have indicated a
by-law would reflect well on our partnership with DNRE in combatting wildland
fires in or outside of Sant John. With the assistance ofGeneral Counsel Staff, the
Fire Departmentresearchedand draftedaby-law to regulate outdoor fires. A
draft by-law was presented to the Public Safety Committeein the summer of 2024

REPORT
Background
Saint John and the surrounding communities are experiencing climate change
and recording more days with elevated temperatures. Our changing climate puts
us at risk of having wildfires inside the City limits and around our protected
watershed. Wildfires have become more prevalent in the last few years, and
many communities in New Brunswick have had to deal with significant wildfires
in their boundaries. Saint John Water (SJW) approached the Fire Department to
understand the level of firefighting response available to fight forest fires in our
watershed. SJW was concerned with the devastating effect a wildfire could have
ed out to the Department
of Natural Resources and Energy (DNRE) to ascertain the level of support
available to the City to assist in fighting a wildland fire within or outside of Saint
John. DRNE readily offered support. It was during these discussions that DNRE
periods. The City has outdoor fire safety guidelines posted on its website, but
not an adopted by-law.
In addition to the collaboration with DNRE, Saint John Fire Department has
reviewed related by-laws in other major municipalities in New Brunswick. The
survey revealed that Saint John was the only major city not to have such a by-
law.
website. These guidelines are a mix of outdoor fire by-law like terms along with
To advance to a by-law from our current guidelines is not a significant step. The
main difference being our current guidelines have no enforceability and do not
require citizens to adhere to the Provincial Forest Fire Watch no burn days
and/or times.
Proposed
A draft of the proposed by-law was presented to the Public Safety Committee in
the summer of 2024. Feedback was received and incorporated in the proposed
by-law attached to this report.
The intent of the proposed outdoor fire by-law is to regulate the use of outdoor
fireplaces on public or private property, only permitting fires on days or times
watch. Similar to Outdoor Fire Safety Guidelines, the proposed
by-law:
- 3 -
Does not require a permit for an outdoor fireplace (firepit) on owner
occupied property.
Requires the use of screening on outdoor fireplaces to reduce the
dispersion of large embers.
Requires a nearby means of extinguishing the fire.
Requires separation from structures and combustibles.
Limits the outdoor fireplace fuels type to clean dry wood, prohibiting the
burning of noxious materials.
Prohibits open fires except for cultural fires.
Exempts open flame barbeques (wood chip or charcoal) and propane or
natural gas fueled outdoor fireplaces (fire bowls) from the by-law.
Outdoor Fire Safety Guidelines the proposed by-law
will also:
Acknowledge the exemption of private campgrounds under Regulation
84-204 under the Forest Fires Act.
Prohibits outdoor fireplace use on days and/or times a Category 1 fire is
not permitted in this region.
conducted for the advancement of cultural, religious, charitable,
educational or community objectives.
purposes where the open fire is the focal point of the business model.
Creates offences, penalties and enforcement mechanisms.
Permits and potential revenue
No permit or inspection will be required for an outdoor fireplace on private
property.
Conversely, and to formalize an existing practice, a permit will be required
before an open fire for cultural or religious practices, or outdoor fireplace use on
public or non-owner-occupied land. An open fire is still a contained open-air fire.
In other words, a contained fire but not within an outdoor fireplace fire
equipped with a screen to prevent the dispersion of embers.
Where the intent to the by-law is more about regulation than revenue, no
permit fees are associated with this by-law.
Appointment of By-law Enforcement Officers
A Report to Council will follow regarding the appointment of persons within Fire
and Emergency Management Services to be empowered to enforce the by-law.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Deliver sustainable public safety programs that meet the needs of a growing and
diverse community as well as protecting our environment.

SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
This by-law is not anticipated to generate revenue. The intent is to educate the
public on acceptable backyard burning practices, protection of air quality and
.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
In response to firefighting capability questions raised by Saint John Water,
meetings were held with Department of Natural Resources and Energy (DNRE)
officials to discuss wildfire fighting support which led to the impetus for
-law.
By-laws from six New Brunswick communities were reviewed prior to drafting
the proposed by-law for Saint John. Conversations were held with Fire
Department staff from Edmundson and Dieppe to discuss issues with their
respective by-laws.
A conversation was held with the campground representative of the Saint John
Horticulture Association regarding this by-law.

draft by-law and led in shaping the proposed by-
consideration.

members of Common
Council
PROPOSED MOTION:
Direct the CAO to establish a Medical Education Scholarship in partnership with the New Brunswick Medical
Educational Foundation Inc. starting in 2025
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The purpose of the annual Scholarship is to support the studies of two medical students in Saint John, New
Brunswick resident who are pursing studies leading to the degree of Medical Doctor. The recipients must agree
to a one-year return of service in the City of Saint John, New Brunswick for each year of support they receiveup
to four years for the Medical Doctor program at an accredited Canadian university in New Brunswick. The
amount of the scholarships will be $5,000.00 each.
This Scholarships are provided through annual gift of $10,400 by the City of Saint John to the New
Brunswick Medical Education Foundation Inc. starting in 2025 for a four-year term.By establishing this
scholarship the City of Saint John will:
Attract the best medical students to study inSaint John,New Brunswick.
Preserve students as practicing physicians in Saint John, New Brunswick after graduation.
Engage New Brunswickers studying outside the province to return to practice medicine in Saint John,
New Brunswick.
Ensure medical students can qualify for renewable and non-renewable scholarships if they commit to
returning to Saint John, New Brunswick.
Why should the City of Saint John support the NBMEDED? Supporting the NBMEDED would be beneficial
for many reasons, including:
supporting health care and doctor recruitment will resonate well with the general
public.
professionals want to live in communities with high quality public services, particularly health care.
for many of these sectors, there are clearly identifiable economic reasons to
and our City of Saint John.
Lastly, it should be noted that, the investment, management, and expenditure of all funds shall be in
amount of the scholarship, or the number of scholarships awarded based on supplemental contributions,
market conditions, capital earnings and inflation.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES:
This scholarship fund being proposed exists with other municipal entities across the province and is
growing, asrecruitment & retention of highly skilled professionals continues to be increasingly
competitive. The modest investment to establish such a fund is out-weighed by the investment in the
health and prosperity of our Saint John community. It is my understanding that to stand this scholarship
fund up will not have a negative bearing on our staff time and financial resources.
INPUT FROM OTHERS:
Consultation has been had with the NB Medial Educational Foundation Inc., members of the public,
select City of Saint John leadership team and members of Common Council.
