EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rockwood Park Endowment Fund was established in November 2008 with the contribution of $2,000,000 by Emera Brunswick Pipeline Ltd. for the purpose of providing a lasting source of income for the operations of Saint John Horticulture Association. The Endowment is overseen by Administrators appointed by the Saint John Horticulture Association, Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd. and the City of Saint John. The appointees for the Saint John Horticulture Association and Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd. are requesting the City execute an amendment to the Deed of Gift to cap future distributions from the Endowment at $50,000 plus CPI to ensure the revenue from the Endowment Fund remains sustainable in the long term as well as to allow the Endowment Fund to grow. This recommendation is housekeeping given the Finance Committee approved the amendment th on September 18, 2024. Due to an oversight the recommendation was not brought forward to Common Council. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION(S) STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT REPORTIncluding Any Service and Financial Outcomes The Rockwood Park Endowment Fund was established in November 2008 with the contribution of $2,000,000 by Emera Brunswick Pipeline Ltd. for the purpose of providing a lasting source of income for the operations of Saint John Horticulture Association. The Endowment is overseen by Administrators appointed by the Saint John Horticulture Association, Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd. and the City of Saint John. The appointees for the Saint John Horticulture Association and Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd. are requesting the City execute an amendment to the Deed of Gift to cap future distributions from the Endowment at $50,000 plus CPI to ensure the revenue from the Endowment Fund remains sustainable in the long term as well as to allow the Endowment Fund to grow. The current Deed of Gift allows for the distribution of all annual net income of the Endowment Fund so long as the endowment capital does not fall below $2,122,819. If the net income is below $50,000, the current Deed of Gift allows for Capital to be encroached if it does not fall below $2,122,819. The distribution of the annual net income does not permit the endowment to grow beyond the balance of $2,122,819 because all growth is distributed. The proposed amendment to cap future distributions to $50,000 plus CPI will allow the endowment fund to grow and mitigate risks associated with long-term sustainability of the fund in event the market declines. The proposed amendment would allow the fund to grow while ensuring a stable and predictable reoccurring revenue stream and reducing budget volatility. The amendment has been reviewed by General Counsel.

PREVIOUS RESOLUTION(S) None STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Trelates to investing in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure. REPORT -round Service Delivery and Operations, particularly for maintaining sidewalks, multi-usetrails, and other constrained or hard-to- pedestrian mobility and accessibility, the need for efficient, specialized equipment to manage snow and ice accumulation in these environments continues to grow. The Trackless MT7 provides the maneuverability, traction, and operational precision required to maintain safe and accessible conditions during winter events, supporting public safety and compliance with service level standards. Beyondwinter operations, Trackless MT7 municipal tractors serve as highly versatile, multi- purpose units supporting a wide range of year-round public works activities. Equipped with interchangeable attachments, these units are utilized for mowing, sidewalk sweeping, and light- duty surface and infrastructure maintenance. Its compact design and adaptability allow for efficient deployment across dense urban areas and locations where conventional equipment is not feasible. Maintaining and investing in this type of equipment ensures the city can effectively meet established maintenance standards, improve operational efficiency in specialized service areas, and remain responsive to increasing demands associated with urban growth and climate variability.

Additionally, the lifetime maintenance costsfor bothunits have now passed their initial purchase prices. The tentative delivery date for the new units is approximately 8-10 weeks from award. Upon delivery of the new units, Fleet Management Division will perform a thorough inspection of the current back-up units and potentially keep these two units as back-up, as per the Winter ManagementPlan. The remaining two (2) units will be sent directly to auction. These purchases represent the planned replacement of two (2) existing fleet units and two (2) new fleet units. The two (2) existing fleet units were approved as part of the 2026 Capital Budget and the funds specifically are provided for in the General Fleet Reserve, funded from the respected operating budgets. The two (2) new fleet unitswill replace two older units that were previously kept beyond their useful life as limited redundancy and will act as an initial step toward a more robust equipment redundancy plan recommended in the recent Winter Management Plan Audit.

Email Subject: Request for Council Discussion on Forest Herbicide Spraying Dear Mayor and Council, I am writing as a resident to ask that Council consider placing forest herbicide spraying on a future council agenda for discussion. While forestry is regulated provincially, these spraying programs can affect municipal watersheds, wildlife habitat, and public and environmental health. This is also a climate and wildfire concern. Forest herbicide spraying is used to promote dense conifer plantations by removing competing vegetation, which can increase flammability and fire intensity, putting more carbon, habitat, and community safety at risk. erns about how risk has been communicated and reinforce the need for greater precaution and transparency. After decades of chemical herbicide spraying in especially where drinking water and community safety are at stake. In Ontario, municipalities have stepped up. Dozens of councils have passed or supported resolutions calling for an end to forest spraying and have urged provincial and federal governments to take action. These municipal actions are building momentum for change and showing that local governments can help lead. A summary of Ontario municipal actions, resolutions, and supporting materials can be found here: https://stopthespraycanada.ca/municipalities A sample council resolution for you is available here: https://stopthespraycanada.ca/council Municipalities do not need to turn a blind eye simply because spraying may occur outside municipal boundaries. Even placing this issue on the agenda for public discussion would be a meaningful first step, and a clear signal that our community takes clean water, forest health, and Indigenous rights seriously. I respectfully ask that Council review this issue and consider how our community can add its voice. Thank you for your time and for your service to our community.

As you may recall, Mayor Donna Reardon stated the following after the catastrophic AIM fire in Sept. 2023: an operation such as AIM should never have been allowed to start so close to residential neighbourhoodshttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/aim- metal-recycling-fire-bill-1.6970177). unacceptable and incompatible with our residential communities (https://saintjohn.ca/en/news-and-notices/statement-donna-noade-reardon-mayor-saint- john) As you can see in the map below, the Simpson Scrap Yard and metal shredding operation lies only 750 meters from residential properties, half of the 1.5 km separation heavy industry and residential areas. It is also only about 570 metres from the only exit from Lorneville. If a fire, smoke event, emergency response, or road closure blocked that route, residents could be left with no safe way out, and emergency response vehicles such as ambulance and fire trucks could have no way in to Lorneville. The province previously granted approval to operate on on-site metal shredder on Dec. 18, 2024, blindsiding Lorneville residents (https://tj.news/new-brunswick/residents- blindsided-by-new-metal-shredder-in-their-backyard). Unwanted metal shredding operations in the city have been effectively thrust upon the Lorneville community, and shredder licence in New Brunswick. So the obvious question is: if metal shrunacceptable and incompatible with our residential communities My primary concerns are as follows: If a fire, smoke event, hazardous-materials incident, emergency response, or road closure compromised that route, residents could be left with no safe way out, and emergency response vehicles such as police, ambulance, and firetrucks could have no way in. This creates an extremely dangerous situation should an incident occur. There is currently a very real risk of such an event occurring. John Ross & Son Ltd, who own and operate the Simpson site in Lorneville, experienced a fire at their scrap yard in Goodwood, Nova Scotia in 2022. This event forced evacuations of nearby residents and closed a busy road. Link to news story: https://globalnews.ca/video/9307557/halifax- firefighters-contain-blaze-at-scrap-metal-yard. This risk should be assessed immediately, regardless of whether the Province approves -of-province scrap. The metal shredder is already operating, residents are already reporting impacts, and the community should not have to wait for an incident before emergency access is reviewed and a plan is implemented. Residents are already reporting that the metal shredder can be heard throughout Lorneville, including at properties more than 3 km away. This is not simply a theoretical concern about a future increase in operations. The current operation is already affecting rties. The EIA does not adequately assess these real-world noise impacts. It relies heavily on existing approval conditions and monitoring, rather than requiring receptor-based noise monitoring at affected homes and community locations (3) Auto shredder generated from imported shreddable materials. Auto fluff is the non-metallic waste left after vehicles and appliances are shredded. Depending on the feedstock, it can contain fine dust, plastics, rubber, foam, glass, textiles, heavy metals, PCBs, PFAS, and other persistent contaminants. If auto fluff becomes airborne or escapes through storage, handling, transport, or runoff, nearby residents could face increased risk from inhalable dust, soil contamination, groundwater impacts, and exposure through private wells. The EIA does not provide enough public detail on expected ASR volumes, containment, dust capture, storage, testing, transport, disposal, stormwater controls, or off-site monitoring. (4) Cumulative effects with the Spruce Lake Industrial Park Expansion The EIA does not adequately assess cumulative impacts with the approved Spruce Lake Industrial Park Expansion. There is currently a forested buffer between the Simpson shredder and residential properties in Lorneville. That buffer is expected to be removed as part of the planned industrial park expansion, further exposing residents to noise, dust, visual impacts, truck traffic, and general industrial encroachment. The City cannot treat the Simpson shredder, the importation proposal, and the Spruce Lake Industrial Park Expansion as separate issues when they affect the same community. The EIA frames the importation proposal as a limited operational change because no new equipment, no new hours, and no expanded footprint are proposed. However, the EIA also states that imported scrap would increase total annual throughput and would not replace existing local supply. In practical terms, increased throughput would mean more actual shredding time, more truck traffic, more material handling, more dust, more ASR/fluff, more noise, and more cumulative impact on nearby residents. I am asking Council to take the following actions: (1) Direct Saint John EMO, Fire, Police, transportation staff, and relevant provincial emergency-service partners to complete an emergency-access and evacuation review for Lorneville. (2) Assess whether a fire, smoke event, hazardous-materials incident, emergency response, or road closure near the Simpson site could block both resident evacuation and first-responder access into Lorneville. (3) Request disclosure of current noise-monitoring results, complaint records, operating conditions during monitoring, and any exceedances or enforcement actions related to the existing shredder. (4) Request disclosure and public review of the existing ASR/auto fluff management plan, including storage, dust capture, testing, transport, disposal, stormwater controls, and off-site monitoring. (5) Require that the forested buffer between heavy industrial uses and Lorneville homes not be removed unless cumulative noise, dust, air-quality, emergency-access, and community impacts are fully assessed. (6) Establish a formal Lorneville industrial-impact working group or task force involving residents, City staff, SJIP, and city council members. only exit route, the fire history associated with metal-shredding operations, and Saint throughput by importing out-of-province scrap, and immediate actions should be taken to address current health and safety issues for Lorneville residents. Lorneville residents should not have to wait for another crisis before these risks are taken seriously.

I believe that the research points to AI Data centres being harmful and negatively impactful to the communities they are built around. If the municipality would hear my presentation, I believe they would become very aware of the issues on these AI data centres, and would be able to pose informed questions for the public and personal interests at the public session on November 5th.

Oak's Tree of Love respectfully requests that the Municipality proclaim October 15, 2026, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day and October 2026 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. We would also be grateful if the Municipality would consider a flag raising and/or the illumination of City Hall, a municipal building, bridge, landmark, sign, or other public feature in pink, blue, and white in recognition of this important awareness initiative. Pregnancy, infant, and child loss affect thousands of Canadian families each year. Recognition of this day and month helps raise awareness, honour babies and children gone too soon, support bereaved families, reduce stigma surrounding grief and loss, and encourage compassionate conversations about pregnancy loss, infant loss, stillbirth, and child loss within our communities. Oak's Tree of Love provides memory boxes, remembrance projects, awareness initiatives, hospital partnerships, and support resources for families affected by the loss of a baby or child. Thank you for your time, consideration, and support of bereaved families. We would be grateful to learn whether the Municipality plans to participate through a proclamation, flag raising, illumination, or another form of recognition for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day and Month in 2026.

It is recommended that Council approve four Committees of Council moving forward, 1. Finance, 2. Public Safety, 3. Quality of Life,and4. Service and Operationsto PREVIOUS RESOLUTION(S) On July 18, 2016: RESOLVED that Council: 1) Directs the Nominating Committee to make nominations to fill Council vacancies on Boards where required by law, regulation or bylaw. 2) Directs the Nominating Committee to make nominations to fill any existing vacancies on remaining Boards. 3) Directs the City Manager to establish two Committees (Finance and Growth) as a 6 month pilot project, commencing September 2016. 4) Continue to schedule regular reporting from agencies, boards and commissions with significant financial or operational linkage with the City. 5) Directs the City Manager to schedule a review of the Committee structure in March 2017 following six months of assessment; and 6) Directs staff to make recommendations to simplify, where possible, the structure of City controlled agencies, boards and commissions. OnApril 18, 2017: RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report Committee Structure, basedon the pilot evaluation period from September 2016 through March 2017, that Common Council adopts the current structure of standing Committees for Finance and Growth as standard practice and directs the Nominating Committee to maintain a full complement of Council members as per the existing Terms of Reference. OnMarch 22, 2021: RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report entitled M&C 2021-062: Expanding the Committee Structure Public Safety Committee, Common Council approve the creation of the Public Safety Committee and approve the submitted (Exhibit A) Terms of Reference. On July 26, 2021: RESOLVED that as recommended by the Finance Committee in the submitted report M&C 2021- 198: Terms of Reference -Finance Committee, Common Council approve the attached amended Terms of Reference for the Finance Committee. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT REPORT Council has previously resolved to establish three Standing Committees of Council, Finance, Growth and Public Safety. The City has changed since the inception of the Committee system of governance a decade ago and has been well served by havingStanding Committees of Council work through details around budgets, service levels, growth initiatives and public safety issues. The changes recommended in this report seeks to enhance the current committee system to the terms of reference to reflect and rebrand and expand the standing committee work into areas of service not previously examined. It is proposedthat the City discontinue the Growth Standing Committee and, in its place,create two new committeesto reflect a renewed focus on quality of life initiatives and on performance levels in operations. New Terms of Reference would be drafted for the proposed Quality of Life Committee and the Service and Operations Committee. Below are examples of what could be amended or added to the various Standing Committees. The examples below are meant to be illustrative and not comprehensive. The exact mandate of each committee will be determined through developing the Terms of Reference and having those Terms of Reference approved by Council. The Quality-of-LifeCommittee could assume portions of the Growth committee mandate to include files such as recreation, housing, development, and now, Parks services. The proposed Service and Operations committee could examine service levels, issues and initiatives inareas such as Transportation, Solid Waste, Storm Water Management, Drinking Water, Wastewaterand street and sidewalk services. The previously existingFinance Committee couldbroaden their scope to include files on tax base and economic growth withinFinance Committee. Public Safety would assume a new mandate to include police governancein addition to the various other public safety issues already brought to the committee. It is proposed that the new Standing Committees would better align with the new departments of Service and Operations, Finance and Strategic Investments, Public Safety and Development and Community Services.
