Attention: City Clerk
Dear Mayor Darling and Common Councillors:
Re: Greater Saint John Region - Amalgamation
We have read with great interest City Manager Jeff Trail's letter to
Premier Gallant requesting a study of amalgamation in the Greater
Saint John Region. We note that the issue was not discussed
beforehand with the Fundy region towns, nor was the letter copied to
the towns. Nevertheless we believe it is most appropriate to respond to
the origin of the letter.
We wish to make it clear that Rothesay Council does not favour
amalgamation, or indeed another study on this issue.
Firstly, we do not believe that amalgamation would solve Saint John's
problems; and historically, amalgamation does not save money. The
real problem is New Brunswick's broken property tax system, and
that is where we believe the energies should be focused. Ideally, the
City and the Towns should be able to strengthen the case for tax
reform by working together in our approach to the Province.
Secondly, as I have indicated on several occasions to the media,
Rothesay indeed does pay its fair share of Saint John expenses; in the
four years 2014-2017, Rothesay contributed $2,746,592 to the
regional facilities, and through donations, to other Saint John -based
causes. Also, there are a good number of Rothesay residents who, in
addition to paying residential taxes to Rothesay, pay non-residential
taxes to Saint John, on their business and rental properties.

Regional Cooperation
Thirdly, we believe that our residents are happy with the level and
cost of services they receive. These services are less expensive than
those in Saint John; historically, with amalgamation, service costs
rise to the highest level in the mix- in this case, they would rise to
Saint John levels. Rothesay residents, while they enjoy low tax rates,
have very high tax burdens because of their high assessments;
further tax increases would simply be untenable
We suggest that, if the City is in fact looking to `foster a culture of
cooperation rather than competition' with the surrounding
municipalities, perhaps a local discussion is the place to start.
Rothesay shares Common Council's concerns with the New
Brunswick property tax system. We agree that property tax reform
should be very high on the provincial agenda: the double taxation and
equalization system that exists is unfair. The Town receives no
equalization funds from the Province and the average single-family
homeowner in Rothesay paid a tax bill more than $400 higher than
the average single family homeowner in Saint John last year (a tax bill
that was the 2nd highest in the province). With the residential
component of the tax base making up more than 90% in Rothesay,
our residents are paying directly for the services they receive in a
system which is not progressive i.e. a function of income.
There are other aspects of Mr. Trail's letter with which we could take
issue including some considerations which are omitted. However we
do not wish to simply perpetuate and accentuate our disagreements.
Rather we invite you to suggest constructive measures for cooperation
in the Region to which we would be pleased to respond. Enclosed is
an article from Municipal World discussing the concept of
amalgamation in Saint John with which some may be familiar.
Perhaps the findings are still relevant.
In Rothesay we believe that a key task for the current and future
provincial governments is reform of the property tax system. We
would welcome an opportunity to discuss how Rothesay could work
with the City toward this objective.

Reports From Goldenberg
to Cormier ..
The 1950s and lg6Oasaw the ad-
vent of suburbanization in Greater
d-vcotnfsoborbunizationioGreuter
Saint John, with the growth of adjacent
municipalities, Lancaster and Simondy.
Lancaster was incorporated as o city�
and, ioSimonds, there were widespread
demands for similar incorporation.
This raised concerns about abag-
mcu1edre8ioo`vitbpoteo1ioUythrec
competing cities inusmall metropoli-
tan urea.
lnlight ofufailure ofthe munici'
po81ica in the region 1nagree uoapath
going forward, the province stepped
in, commissioning ureport chaired by
lawyer H. Carl Goldenberg that recorn-
mended arnalgarnation. This recorn-
mendation was implemented by the
province in |Q67with the City oCSaint
John, the City o[Lancaster, and apor-
tion of3imondabeinginoorporutcdintm
the City o{Saint John.
The following decades, however, saw
population growth outside the boundup

inthe KenncbecumiaValley, renewing
concerns about ufragmented mciropo|i'
{an region. This highlighted the growing
policy importance ofurban and suburban
regions loGreater Saint John — and |n
New Brunswick oeawhole.
While impoverished rural county
governments were mprimary focus
oflocal government reform inNew
Brunswick (the Equal Opportunity
rcfonnm centralized power with the
provincial govemment),this continued
uuburbonizgion in Greater Saint John
and the pressures faced bythe city
highlighted the growing attention need -
ad for urban and suburban areas.

terviews revealed a city -suburban divid
on amalgamation with widespread
Support in the city, and strong (though
not unanimous) opposition in the sub-
urbs. However, there was agreement
on the existence of a common regional
interest: that the City of Saint John was
the employment hub of the region.

it is noteworthy that, in the last
Canadian census, the City of Saint

Furthermore, a healthy city centre
with good infrastructure and services
is good for the image of the region

residents and investment, and benefit-
ing the region as a whole (city and
Suburbs).
Could this common regional interest
be the basis of regional governance?
Regionalist thought is illustrative
in giving context to the amalgamation
debate; in particular, it highlights that,
while amalgamation is one Solution, it
is by no means the only Solution to the
issue of metropolitan fragmentation.
Old regionalists favour the province

TRENDS, cont'd from p. 18
The severe Cuts to public libraries
in Newfoundland and Labrador that
were announced in the 2016 provincial
budget are the most striking recent
example of a restraint measure with
major local Cultural impacts. Accord-
ino, to the Newfoundland and Labrador
Library Board, over half of the prov-
ince's libraries will be forced to close
unless the municipalities can take over
responsibility for them.' The president
of the Municipalities of" N eWfOUnd land
and Labrador deplored the move, say-
ing that many small communities do not
have the resources to take over librar-
ies and that often in these communities
the library is the only place where poor
people can get access to the internet.9 In
addition, the 2016 budget raised ticket
prices and hourly rental fees at arts and
Culture centres and introduced a provin-
cial sales tax on books. All told, these
measures are expected to limit access to
Cultural products and services for low
income groups in C01111111.111ities across
the province.
The cultural sector must compete
with health care, education, housing,
and transportation for limited mu-
nicipal dollars, even though the total
amount it receives from the public
purse is usually Much less. Most Of
the sector operates close to the line so
that even minor expenditure reductions
or freezes by provincial and territo-
rial governments can rnean the differ-
ence between a full season of concerts
or exhibitions and a series of "dark"
nights or closed doors. Municipalities
have both economic and social reasons
to maintain vibrant and accessible
Cultural scenes; but, in the face of fis-
cal downloading from other orders of
government, they may need to be more
assertive about these benefits. MW

WIM
An advocate of this approach is for-
mer Albuquerque mayor David Rusk,
who called for "elastic cities," where
municipal boundaries grew with subUr-
banization. The 1967 amalgamation of
Saint John with Lancaster and a portion
of Simonds is an example of this.
New regionalists, by contrast, advo-
cate bringing together local stakeholders
to seek a common forum for rnetropoli-
tan cooperation, usually falling short of
full regional amalgamation. This could
be a potential approach for Greater
Saint John in the aftermath of the reac-
tion to the 1997 Cormier Report.
It is important to consider the range
of solutions to the concern of fragrnen-
tation of metropolitan regions and to
acknowledge that amalgamation is not
the Only Solution (and may not even be
the best Solution).
Saint John is illustrative of the de-
bates over amalgamation, especially
where there is strong Suburban resis-
tance. It is also a case study for local
control, given the provincially central-
izing nature of the Equal Opportunity
reforms.
Furthermore, on both issues — local
control and amalgamation as well as
the broader spectrum Of urban policy,
Saint John illustrates that "urban issues"
are not just the territory of large cities.
Issues of sprawl and subUrbanization,
of walkable and dense downtowns, of
transit and public administration, are
important for smaller and medium-size
cities as well. New Brunswick is a prov-
ince that is considered "rural," but it is
urbanizing and suburbanizing (as seen
by the Population growth in both Saint
John and suburban QUisparnsis in the
last census).
In the broader spectrum of the arnal-
garnation debate, Saint John illustrates
a case where amalgamation is highly
contentious, where it could be worth
considering other solutions — includ-
ing new regionalist -inspired solutions,
where a forum for greater cooperation
and coordination is considered. In Brit-
ish Columbia, regional districts facili-
tate a common forum for municipalities
44 MUNICIPAL WORLD SEPTEMBER 2016 36
districts do not constitute another tier
of government and offer a means of
arnalgarnation.
Maybe something similar could
work in Saint John? Currently, there a
Regional Service Commissions; but,
Regional Service Commission covers
a broad swath of southern New Bruns
wick beyond metropolitan Saint John.
Maybe a "regional district" approa
as well. It would still be old regional-
ist, in the sense it would be a "forced
cooperation," but new regionalist in th
it offers avenues other than full amaIg
mation.
On the issue of local control, Saint
John (and New Brunswick as a whole
dernonstrates the need to recognize th
economic and social role of cities. Thi
involves an appropriate level of local
control. The province's centralizing
Equal Opportunity reforms were a hu
accomplishment in combating rural
equalization benefiting poorer rriunici-
vices in areas Such as education.
There is a benefit to provincial ove
sight, in forcing change where munici
palities cannot agree and in centraliza
tion of some services. fit the America
state of Michigan, the problems of
excessive decentralization (with a lac
of equalization) are seen in the City o
Detroit, which faces higher taxes, poo
quality services, and bankruptcy, Whil
existing alongside affluent suburban
Municipalities.
Nonetheless, areas of appropriate
local control need to be considered.
The benefits and shortcomings of Ne%
Brunswick's systern of local govern-
ment illustrate this. Overall, examin-
ing the debates over amalgamation
and local control in Greater Saint Job
provides an illustration of the public
administration pressures of urbaniza-
smaller city regions are important to
consider in the urbanist discussion in
Canada. IVW

RECOMMENDATION
That Common Council refer the proposed text amendment to the Zoning By-law
relating to cannabis businesses to the Planning Advisory Committee for a report
and recommendation and set a Public Hearing date of April 9, 2018.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to advise Common Council of the upcoming
legislation, the New Brunswick approach to the retail sale of recreational
cannabis and suggested amendments to the City's Zoning By-law related to the
establishment of cannabis related businesses.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
At its meeting of April 3, 2017, Common Council resolved to:
Direct Growth and Community Development Staff to report back to Common
Council regarding the proposed Federal Legislation and its implications for
the Zoning By-law following the introduction of the legislation in the House
of Commons.
REPORT
As provided in Common Council's resolution of April 3, 2017, this report outlines the
proposed approach to the retail sale of recreational cannabis in New Brunswick and
implications for the City's Zoning By-law.
!191
-2 -
The federal government's Cannabis Act, which has received first reading in the
Senate, sets out federal areas of responsibility and delegates some areas of
responsibility to the provinces. Federal jurisdiction includes the licensing and
oversight of commercial producers for recreation and medical cannabis with
Provincial jurisdiction of the retailing and distribution of recreational cannabis within
a framework set by the Federal Government.
New Brunswick's Retail Model
The Province of New Brunswick has adopted a retail model that will establish a
Crown Corporation, as a subsidiary of the New Brunswick Liquor Corporation, to sell
recreational cannabis in New Brunswick.
A tender was issued by the New Brunswick Liquor Corporation (ANBL) in late -2017
for leased space for cannabis retail outlets in various locations in the Province. Two
sites have been awarded for cannabis retail outlets in Saint John:
• 168 Rothesay Avenue (Atlantic Superstore)
• 55 Lansdowne Avenue (Lansdowne Plaza).
Site selection criteria provided in the tender document require the following
separation distances and location constraints:
300 metre separation distance from schools;
300 metre separation distance from playgrounds with play
equipment intended for children to use; and
obscured line of sight from licensed daycares.
Both of the sites in Saint John meet the separation requirements contained in the ANBL
tender. The sale of cannabis is currently illegal until Federal Legislation comes into effect
which is expected to occur in June. This timeline for Federal legislation provides for sales
to begin in August or September. In order to allow for the retail outlets to be
constructed prior to the legalization date, major New Brunswick municipalities have
considered the proposed ANBL outlets as a retail use for the purpose of issuing building
permits.
Proposed Zoning By -Law Amendments
Municipal Approaches to Cannabis Businesses
Growth and Community Development Staff have reviewed best practices across Canada
and the United States with respect to regulating the cannabis industry from a land use
perspective. Planning staff have also participated in presentations and submissions to
the Provincial Select Committee on Cannabis through the New Brunswick Planning
Directors and consulted with planning staff in Moncton and Fredericton regarding their
approach to regulating cannabis -related land uses including production, processing and
retail sales.
!ElI
-3 -
This is an evolving area of land use planning as many municipalities in Canada are
currently developing standards and regulations around land uses associated with
recreational cannabis and have yet to enact them given the pending legalization. The
Province of Manitoba has recently produced a guide for municipalities (attached) which
provides guidance regarding the approach to zoning for cannabis retail uses including
location and buffering considerations, hours or operation, signage and parking. On the
basis of the research undertaken by staff, a range of approaches are considered for
municipalities to regulate cannabis related businesses:
1. A permissive approach which involves interpreting cannabis related
businesses as uses that are currently permitted by a municipality's zoning
by-law. For example cannabis retail would be interpreted as a commercial
use such as general retail, with processing and large-scale production being
interpreted as a permitted industrial use such as a laboratory in the case of
cannabis processing and manufacturing in the case of cannabis production.
Some municipalities in New Brunswick are taking this approach.
2. An intermediate proactive approach which involves providing a clear,
definitive framework for land use regulation that permits these uses in
appropriate zones with defined standards. This approach involves defining
the specific uses such as cannabis production, cannabis processing and
cannabis retail and outlining associated standards for these uses such as
designating where these uses can be located in the community as a
permitted use subject to specific standards in the zoning by-law.
3. A controlled approach which requires a public approval process for each
business location. This is accomplished through a conditional use approval
by a municipality's Planning Advisory Committee or through a rezoning
process to a specialized zone which requires the approval of Common
Council.
Growth and Community Development Staff are recommending the City pursue a
proactive, intermediate approach to these emerging land uses. This approach will
provide a clear, predictable framework for investors while ensuring a degree of control
at the local level to minimize the impact on adjacent land uses and align with the overall
regulatory framework of controlling the sale and distribution to limit the broader risks of
youth exposure and health and safety impacts. This approach will involve amendments
to the Zoning By-law to recognize the retail sale of cannabis as a land use given the
pending legalization framework established by the Federal and Provincial Governments.
The proposed by-law amendments involve the following:
• Defining cannabis retail as a specific use and permitting it in select commercial
zones subject to spacing requirements which require a separation distance
-4 -
between cannabis retail outlets and K-12 schools and other cannabis retail
outlets. The guidance document prepared by Manitoba notes typical separation
distances of 150 metres to 300 metres between cannabis related facilities and
schools and other cannabis related facilities. Staff are recommending a
separation distance of 300 metres between schools and cannabis retail facilities
based on regulations in Colorado, Washington State and Vancouver. In
addition, staff are recommending that a spacing of 1000 metres be required
between a cannabis retail store and another cannabis retail store to control the
number of these uses. Staff note that the 1000 metre distance is a reasonable
distance between the major retail areas within the City.
• Defining cannabis -related processing and production as a specific use and
permitting these activities in select commercial and industrial zones.
Proposed Definitions
The proposed by-law amendment also introduces definitions for Cannabis, Cannabis
Retail, Cannabis Processing Facility, and Cannabis Production Facility. With respect to
cannabis production, staff recommend the current definition of a Medical Marijuana
Production Facility be amended to a Cannabis Production Facility that would cover the
production of cannabis for both medical and recreational consumption. The proposed
definitions are provided below:
"Cannabis means cannabis as defined by the Government of Canada, pursuant
to the Cannabis Act."
"Cannabis Processing Facility" means any use of land, building, or structure
involving:
(a) the processing of raw Cannabis materials;
(b) the making, testing, manufacturing, assembling or in any way
altering the chemical or physical properties of semi -finished or
finished goods and products involving cannabis; or
(c) the storage or transhipping of materials, goods and products;
A cannabis processing facility includes, but is not limited to the laboratory
testing, extraction and purification of cannabinoids; research and development
and the production of pharmaceutical -like products.
"Cannabis Production Facility" means a facility and premises authorized by a
license issued by the Government of Canada, pursuant to the Cannabis Act for
growing, producing, testing, destroying, storing, or distribution of cannabis but
does not include the retail sale of cannabis or cannabis related products."
"Cannabis Retail" means the sale of cannabis or cannabis related products to
the general public."
-5 -
Staff also recommend the review and amendment of other definitions in the Zoning By-
law so that retail, processing and production facilities for cannabis cannot be
interpreted as other commercial, industrial or agricultural uses. A similar approach was
taken with the previous amendments for Medical Marijuana Production Facilities.
Proposed Locations and Spacing Considerations
Cannabis Retail
Staff are proposing that Cannabis Retail be permitted use in the following commercial
zones:
• Uptown Commercial (CU),
• Corridor Commercial (CC),
• Regional Commercial (CR),
• Campus Research Commercial (CRC),and
• General Commercial (CG).
These zones are proposed for cannabis retail as the intent of these zones is to provide
for medium to large-scale commercial developments, particularly retail uses.
Staff are recommending that the use not be permitted in the following zones:
• Business Park Commercial (CBP),
• Waterfront Commercial (CW),
• Mixed Commercial (CM),
• Local Commercial (CL), and
• Rural General Commercial (CRG).
The recommendation of not allowing cannabis retail as a permitted use in the Business
Park Commercial (CBP) zone is based on intent of this zone being primarily for larger -
scale employment uses including post -secondary education and health-care and not
retail uses. The cannabis retail use is also not recommended to be permitted in the
Mixed Commercial (CM), Local Commercial (CL), and Rural General Commercial (CRG)
zones as these zones are intended for commercial uses they serve the daily needs of
surrounding residential neighbourhoods. Given this intent for a smaller -scale retail use
and their proximity to predominantly residential areas, Staff are not recommending
cannabis retail as a permitted use in these zones.
Staff are also proposing that cannabis retail uses be subject to a separation distance
from schools and from other cannabis retail outlets. Staff note providing a separation
distance from schools is common in other areas where cannabis has been legalized and
has been a consideration in other Canadian jurisdictions. In addition, the recent
tendering process conducted by ANBL required these locations be located 300 metres
from schools. Given this, staff recommend that a provision be added to the zoning by-
law that will require cannabis retail stores to be located a minimum distance of 300
metres away from of a lot containing a school (K -12) and that this requirement be
measured between the property lines of the two sites.
-6 -
Staff also recommend that a provision be added to the zoning by-law requiring a
cannabis retail store to be located a minimum distance of 1000 metres away from
another cannabis retail store. This requirement, measured between the property lines
of the two properties, is intended to prevent a proliferation of these uses in a general
area.
While the retail outlets are currently proposed to be established and controlled through
a subsidiary of the New Brunswick Liquor Corporation, adoption of the proposed
approach will provide a regulatory framework to provide defined locations for retail
outlets within designated commercial areas should privatization of the market occur.
The approach of regulating these uses through the zoning by-law will provide for these
retail outlets to be located in commercial areas, consistent with best practices from
other areas in North America where cannabis has been legalized. This approach seeks to
minimize their impacts such as traffic and potentially odour on adjacent land uses by
locating these facilities in commercial areas. The proposed separation distance from
schools is consistent with the intent of proposed Federal and Provincial legislation to
reduce accessibility and visibility of the products to youth.
Cannabis Processing Facility
Cannabis production and processing have been identified as a key sector where the
Province, through Opportunities New Brunswick, is focusing economic development
efforts. This sector also presents an economic development opportunity for Saint John
as shown by the recent application by Nuvera to establish a cannabis processing facility
in the city. Staff are proposing that Cannabis Processing facilities, as defined by the
proposed amendment, be permitted use in the following commercial and industrial
zones:
• Uptown Commercial (CU),
• Regional Commercial (CR),
• Campus Research Commercial (CRC),
• Business Park Commercial (CBP),
• Light Industrial (IL), and
• Medium Industrial (IM).
This approach is recommended as these zones permit the similar use of a research and
development facility.
Cannabis Production Facilities
In 2017, The City's Zoning By-law was amended to allow for Medical Marijuana
Production Facilities in the Medium Industrial (IM) and Heavy Industrial (IH) zones.
Given this Staff are recommending the Zoning By-law be amended to replace the
reference to "Medical Marijuana Production Facility" to "Cannabis Production Facility"
in the zoning by-law. This will allow for large-scale production facilities for both medical
!E:3
and recreational cannabis as a permitted use in the Medium Industrial (IM) and Heavy
Industrial (IH) zones. The current spacing and site design requirements for the medical
marijuana production facilities will apply to the cannabis production facilities. These
requirements:
(a) limit all functions associated with the use to be conducted within a completely
enclosed building;
(b) prohibit outdoor storage associated with the facility; and
(c) require a separation distance of 150 metres between a production facility and
any residential zone or a lot containing an existing public or private school
measured to the property line.
Next Steps
The proposed regulatory approach for cannabis business is a balanced approach
to attract investment, while ensuring these land uses are located in appropriate
locations.. It will provide clarity to investors and align with Provincial economic
development efforts. Importantly, the proposed framework will also provide
locations for these facilities which will minimize impacts on adjacent land uses
and ensure land use compatibility.
Should Common Council choose to proceed with the amendments, the matter
could be referred to the Planning Advisory Committee's (PAC) meeting of March
20. This would provide the following timeline for by-law adoption:
• February 26 Common Council Refers the matter to PAC and sets a
Public Hearing date of April 9, 2018.
• March 20 PAC Meeting
• April 9 Public Hearing
• April 23 Third Reading
The Zoning By -Law amendment process will include advertisements on the City's
website in accordance with the requirements of the Community Planning Act
notifying the Public of the proposed amendment and Public Hearing date.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This approach works towards fulfilling key Council priorities including:
• ensuring Saint John has a competitive business environment for
investment,
• supporting business retention and attraction; and
• driving development in accordance with PlanSJ which creates the density
reuired for efficient infrastructure and services.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The proposed by-law amendments would allow for these emerging land uses to
be located so that impacts on surrounding and sensitive land uses are managed.

Zoning for Cannabis: A Guide for Manitoba Municipalities
6119]

61
All levels of government are working together in order for
the legalization of cannabis to be successful. Municipalities
have a unique perspective to offer on the legal and regulatory
framework for cannabis use.
Manitoba Municipal Relations has prepared this resource guide
to assist Manitoba municipalities with proposed cannabis
facilities to amend their existing zoning bylaw to regulate the
siting and operation of cannabis production and retail within
their communities.
The government will not dictate the approach but rather outline
options available to planning authorities to be more or less
permissive of cannabis -related facilities.
We also encourage municipalities to contact their local
Community and Regional Planning office for assistance in
amending their bylaws.

Introduction
The federal government has committed to legalize
cannabis. The Cannabis Act, if passed, would make it
legal to produce, use and sell cannabis across Canada
by July 2018. The Government of Canada's goal for
legalizing, strictly regulating and restricting access
to cannabis is to keep cannabis out of the hands of
Canadian youth, and to prevent organized crime form
continuing to profit from the illegal cannabis market.
Each level of government will have various
responsibilities, as well as have some shared areas
of responsibility (Table 1). The federal government
will continue to provide oversight of the medical
cannabis regime, as well as set the rules around
possession limits, advertising, trafficking, advertising,
the tracking of seed to sale, establishing minimum
age limits and personal cultivation. The provincial and
territorial governments will govern many aspects of
the legalization framework, including wholesale and
retail distribution, and selection of a retail model.
Provinces will also have the ability to set more
restrictive age or possession limits.
Municipal regulations will stem from the federal and
provincial frameworks. Although the legal framework
for cannabis has not been finalized, municipal
governments will play an important role in local
implementation. This document summarizes current
planning approaches for cannabis -related facilities
and provides zoning options for municipalities.

Legislative Framework
Federal Legislation
Bill C-45 The Cannabis Act
Medical cannabis was first legalized in Canada in 1999
under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes
Regulation (ACMPR). It is available only with a
medical prescription and currently 70,000 Canadians
have prescriptions. Medical cannabis can only be
purchased through mail order. The medical cannabis
regime will continue to operate in parallel to the
recreational cannabis sector.
The Cannabis Act will decriminalize recreational
cannabis and provide for the federal government
to continue licensing producers, just as it licenses
producers for the medical market. The sale of
recreational cannabis and related public health and
safety responsibilities are delegated to the provinces
and territories.
Bill C-45 will legislate the following:
1. Possession and use of cannabis: The minimum
age is 18 years or older to possess cannabis and
adults may possess up to 30 grams of dried legal
cannabis in a public place and may grow up to
four plants per household to a maximum height
of 100 cm. Provinces will have the ability to
introduce more stringent rules, such as increasing
the minimum age, setting lower limits for the
amount that can be possessed in a public place,
and a reduction in the amount of permitted
plants.
3
2. Illegal activities: There will be strict criminal
penalties for anyone operating outside of the legal
system. Minor offences (such as carrying more
than 30 grams but less than 50 grams) will carry a
$200 fine.
3. Restrictions on advertising, promotions and
packaging: The advertising, packaging and
labelling cannot be appealing to youth and cannot
contain false or misleading promotion. The display
of cannabis and accessories at the point of sale
will also be restricted.
4. Commercial production: Health Canada will
continue to license the commercial production,
import, export and sale of cannabis. Licensed
producers can grow and sell product for both the
medical and recreational markets.
5. Retail of recreational cannabis: Provinces and
territories will be given the authority for the sale
of recreational cannabis which will allow them to
determine their own regime for distribution and
retail, as well as the regulation and inspection of
those outlets.
6. Protection of public health and safety: The Non-
smokers' Health Act will be amended to prohibit
the smoking and vaping of cannabis in regulated
places, similar to the restrictions in place for
tobacco smoking.
6'1:3
7. Edible cannabis products: Bill C-45 does not
address edible and drinkable cannabis products
although the federal government has indicated its
intent to introduce legislation around edibles soon
after Bill C-45 is proclaimed. Edible products will
not be legal for retail sale.
4. Cannabis products:
Rules and standards will be established for
the production of cannabis products to enable
retailers to provide products with known potency,
reduce the appeal to the youth market, and to
prevent the accidental consumption of cannabis
by young persons.
Proposed Federal Cannabis Regulations
To support the implementation of the proposed Act, 5
regulations would need to be enacted in a number of
areas. The federal government is proposing to build
upon the established regulatory requirements that
are currently in place for medical producers.
The proposed regulations will address:
1. Licences, permits and authorizations:
Cultivation, processing, sale(federal level),
analytical testing, import/export and research will
require federal licensing.
2. Security clearances:
Personnel associated with licences issued by
Health Canada will be required to hold a valid
security clearance.
3. Cannabis tracking system:
Cannabis will be tracked throughout the supply
chain to prevent the diversion of cannabis into,
and out of, the legal market.
Packaging and labelling:
Packaging and labelling requirements would
promote informed consumer choice and allow for
the safe handling and transportation of cannabis.
Strict limits on the use of colours, graphics, and
other special characteristics to reduce the appeal
to youth are also proposed.
6. Cannabis for medical purposes:
A distinct system for medical cannabis will be
maintained to continue to provide patients
with reasonable access to cannabis for medical
purposes.
7. Health products and cosmetics containing
cannabis:
The use of cannabis -derived ingredients in
cosmetics is currently prohibited but the
regulations propose that cosmetics containing
cannabis -derived ingredients would be subject to
the provisions of the proposed Cannabis Act.

Legislative Framework
Provincial Legislation
On November 7, 2017 the Province announced that
it will adopt a hybrid retail and distribution model.
The Liquor and Gaming Authority and the Manitoba
Liquor and Lotteries Corporation will play key roles in
the sale and distribution of cannabis.
Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority
The role and mandate of the Liquor and Gaming
Authority (LGA) will be expanded to include cannabis.
All retail cannabis stores will be required to apply
to the LGA for a licence. As part of this licensing
requirement, the LGA will ensure that the retail
stores comply with all applicable municipal bylaws
and zoning requirements, and that the applicant has
obtained all required licences, permits and approvals.
They will be responsible for licensing cannabis
stores and distributors, and its inspectors would be
responsible for compliance enforcement. The licence
terms and conditions may include requirements
pertaining to sales areas, storage facilities and
security requirements. Licencing will also include
criminal background checks of the applicant.
Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation
(MBLL)
MBLL will be responsible for acquiring all cannabis for
retail sale, and only cannabis sourced through them
may be sold. To do so, they will:
1. work closely with licensed producers to
coordinate production and delivery cycles
consistent with demand;
2. offer secure, safe onsite storage and shipment of
cannabis products:
3. be authorized to enter into agreements with
licensed cannabis distributors;
4. assume responsibility for the administration of
retail orders and procurement of supply; and
ensure suppliers provide product in retail ready
packaging.
iI
Bill 25: The Cannabis Harm Prevention Act
Bill 25 amended several Acts to address health
or safety concerns arising from the legalization of
cannabis. The amended Acts included:
1. Part 1—The Child Sexual Exploitation and Human
Trafficking Act: Cannabis is expressly stated to be a
controlled substance.
2. Part 2 —The Drivers and Vehicles Act: Permits
the registrar of motor vehicles to suspend the
licence of a driver if the person receives a 24-hour
roadside suspension for being under the influence
of a drug.
3. Part 3 —The Highway Traffic Act: Creates
restrictions on the transportation of cannabis in
motorized vehicles and prohibits the consumption
of cannabis in motorized vehicles. Also permits
an officer to implement a 24-hour roadside
suspension when the officer believes on
reasonable grounds that the person is under the
influence of a drug.
4. Part 4 —The Mental Health Act: Cannabis is
expressly listed as an intoxicant and a prohibition
on providing intoxicants to residents in a mental
health facility still applies when cannabis is
legalized.
5. Part 5 —The Non -Smokers Health Protection
Act: Prohibits people from smoking cannabis in
enclosed public places.
6. Part 6 —The Off -Road Vehicles Act: Creates similar
transportation and consumption prohibitions for
off-road vehicles.
7. Part 7 —The Public Schools Act: Cannabis is added
to the list of prohibited products.
Bill 25 received royal assent in June 2017. Parts 2, 3,
5, and 6 of the Act will come into force on a day to be
fixed by proclamation.

Bi/111: The Safe and Responsible Retailing of
Cannabis Act
Bill 11 amends The Liquor and Gaming Control Act
and The Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation
Act to authorize and regulate the retail sale of
cannabis in Manitoba. This Bill sets the framework for
Manitoba's private retail model by legislating:
1. The Liquor and Gaming Authority of Manitoba
to be renamed the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis
Authority of Manitoba which will now be
responsible for licensing cannabis stores and
cannabis distributors.

authorized producers.
3. The Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation
(MLCC) will acquire cannabis for resale. All
cannabis sold in cannabis retail stores must been
purchased from MLCC.
4. A municipality may hold a plebiscite to prohibit
the sale of cannabis from a cannabis store in the
municipality. The plebiscite may be held before
January 1, 2022 on a date specified by council.

Municipal Considerations
Municipalities have the authority to regulate land

bylaw amendment or conditional use application.
However, given that retail outlets in 15 to 20 of the
137 municipalities could service 90 per cent of the
provincial population, municipalities may want to

Municipal Considerations
Municipal zoning bylaws should include definitions
that are synonymous with the proposed federal and
provincial legislation. Not all of the following terms
will be necessary for a zoning bylaw but explain
common terms for the various types of cannabis -
related facilities.
Zoning For Retail Cannabis Stores
The following are some options for municipalities to
consider when for zoning for retail cannabis stores.

Appendix A: Provincial Retail Models
The provinces and territories are required to
implement a cannabis retail and distribution model
by July 1, 2018. There are essentially two retail model
options including:
1. Public model: A public model would involve
government operated stores analogous to the
way alcohol is currently sold and distributed in
most provinces. Cannabis products would be
sold in stand-alone retail outlets apart from
current liquor outlets.
2. Private model: A private model would
permit businesses licensed by the provincial
government to operate as cannabis retail
stores. The provincial government would
establish a licensing, compliance, inspection
and enforcement program.
All provinces and territories have undertaken public
consultations. As shown in Table 2, some jurisdictions
are proceeding with a public retail model (including
Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and the Yukon),
some with the private retail model (including Alberta,
Manitoba and Newfoundland Labrador), and the
remaining provinces and territories are unknown at
this time.

REPORT
Monitoring of the City's Water and Sewer facilities relies on a Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. This SCADA system monitors the
City's water and sewer facilities 24 hours a day. The approved Water &
Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program includes a project for upgrades to the
City's SCADA system. As part of these upgrades, a new 45 metre tall tower is
required. This new tower will be located at the site of the existing Lancaster
water tank located at Civic # 685 Fundy Drive.
Along with upgrading the City's SCADA system, the tower will also allow the City
to continue to receive the benefit of leasing tower space to cellular
providers. The tower has additional cellular capacity accounted for in the
structural design to allow for future leasing opportunities.

residents an opportunity to view the project drawings, ask questions and give
their feedback. The Public Information Session notice was hand delivered door
to door in the project area as well as advertised and a copy is attached.
Construction began on January 22, 2018 with ground work and foundation
preparation. Steel sections for the tower are expected to arrive onsite February
t
26" with the erection by crane beginning on the 27t". The 45 metre lattice style
self supported tower is expected to be fully erect by March 23rd, 2018 weather
dependent.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
This tower will result in improved connectivity for the City's SCADA system.
The approved 2017 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital program includes

REPORT
The approved 2017 and 2018 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Programs include a
project for the relocation and upgrades to the Musquash Electrical Substation.
The Electrical Substation and Water Pumping Station have existed in their
current location on the shoreline of the East Branch Musquash Reservoir since
the early 1970s however the City of Saint John has no property rights for this
land. The City is preparing to tender the Musquash Water Pumping Station —
Electrical Substation Upgrades project in the coming weeks.
The relocation and upgrades to the Electrical Substation will require a lease from
the Province of New Brunswick (Energy and Resource Development) as the
Musquash Water Pumping Station and Electrical Substation are on Crown Land.
The Province of New Brunswick (Energy and Resource Development) has
provided an offer of an Interim Licence of Occupation which shall expire upon
execution of the Lease or August 15, 2018 (whichever comes first). The Interim
Licence of Occupation will allow the City to proceed to tender the Electrical
Substation project while working towards completing the appropriate survey
work and stipulations for the lease agreement.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This report aligns with Council's Priority for Valued Service Delivery, specifically
as it relates to investing in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The Musquash Electrical Substation currently floods on a regular basis. Also, the
transformer has been in place since the early 1970s and has exceeded its
expected life span. The Electrical Substation requires upgrades and also needs to
be relocated outside of the flood zone.
The approved 2017 and 2018 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital programs
include funding for the design, construction and construction management
components of the project.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
This report, as well as the attached Interim Licence of Occupation and Lease
offer and attached schedules from the Province of New Brunswick (Energy and
Resource Development), have been reviewed with the Legal Department and the
Risk Management Department.

RECOMMENDATION
1. That The City of Saint John renew the seven easements with
corresponding annual rents for 2017, identified in the attached letter
from the Saint John Port Authority, dated February 2, 2018; and
2. That the Major and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the
renewals.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City is working with the Saint John Port Authority (SJPA) to create new
easement agreements for various City infrastructures (roads, pipes and
recreation areas) that are situated upon or within Port Authority lands. These
new documents are intended to replace the "old" leases between the two
authorities. It is expected the new legal documents will reduce the
administrative time involved in managing/maintaining each easement
agreement. These documents will be brought to Council for their consideration
once completed by SJPA and vetted through the City's Legal Department.
The purpose of this report is to bring up to date the over holding agreements
which are currently in place and to have Council authorize payment for the
invoices for each of these agreements as noted in the letter from the Port
Authority (see attached).

REPORT
The Saint John Port Authority leases a number of parcels of land to the City for a
variety of uses, including sewer piping, portions of streets and playgrounds. The
attached letter from SJPA has identified seven (7) leases/easements which are
considered "over holding" that are due for renewal to the end of 2017.
A brief explanation for each of the leases/easements is as follows:
Easement #57 is a 536 square metre parcel of land used to connect Minette
Street and St. John Street in West Saint John.
Easement #169 is a 4,083 square metre portion of a ballfield and parking area off
Market Place in West Saint John.
Easement #188 is a 60 -inch sewer interceptor located at the eastern end of
Courtenay Bay Causeway. This easement was required/obligated to retain in
2017 but has been identified to no longer be required on a go forward basis.
Easement #192 is a 42 -inch sewer line outfall situated at the western end of
Courtenay Bay Causeway.
Easement #222 is a 4,462 square metre parcel connecting Water Street to Broad
Street at the intersection of Charlotte Street, known as the Lower Cove Loop.
Easement #238 is a 60 square metre parcel of land located at the extreme north
end of Main Street which is used as a sewer outfall.
Easement #401 is a sewer outfall located in West Saint John near the Ferry
Terminal.
The various City departments responsible for these easements have indicated
they are still required for City purposes. The corresponding annual rents
identified in the attached letter from SJPA are comparable to 2016 and are
supported by staff.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Saint John invests in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOME
The cost for these seven (7) easements for 2017, which include four sewer
outfalls, two portions of streets and a portion of a playground is $3,832.00.

RECOMMENDATION
Growth Committee recommends for Common Council to review the draft Saint
John Population Growth Framework, receive a presentation at the February 12th
2018 Council meeting and recommend Council adoption of the following
resolution:
1. Direct the City Manager to coordinate a public roll-out of the Population
Growth Framework with the media, key partners and stakeholders upon
adoption.
Growth Committee recommends that Common Council adopt the following
resolutions at the February 26th, 2018 Council meeting:
1. Adopt the Saint John Population Growth Framework and direct that it
serve as our community's work plan for Population Growth between now
and the next Census in 2021;
2. Approve $35,000 from the Growth Reserve Fund to support City -led
project deliverables under the Population Growth Framework in 2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Saint John Population Growth Framework is the City's new strategy for
population growth as requested by the Roadmap for Smart Growth.
The Framework assembles a variety of new or enhanced initiatives, which seeks
131
to achieve three primary objectives: 1) Attract new people to Saint John; 2)
Enhance the newcomer experience in Saint John; 3) Retain our Population in
Saint John.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
In March 2017, Common Council adopted the Roadmap for Smart Growth, which
included the creation of a population growth manager as well as the initiation of
a population growth strategy for Saint John.
On February 6t", Growth Committee received the draft Saint John Population
Growth Framework and recommended that it be forwarded to Common Council
for adoption.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The Population Growth Framework aligns with Council's priorities of:
Growth and Prosperity:
• We grow in a smart way and attract talent, innovation and opportunities
so all people can thrive
• Promote Saint John as a community to live, work and play to grow the
residential tax base
Valued Service Delivery:
• Explore service improvements through innovation, technology and
developing partnerships with other organizations.
The Roadmap for Smart Growth:
• Adoption of the Framework will fulfill action # 15
REPORT
The Population Growth Framework is our City's new strategy on growing our
population. The Vision of the Framework is that Saint John will become the most
welcoming community in New Brunswick. In doing so, we hope to have even
more people move here, and call Saint John home.
The strategies outlined in the Framework are new or enhanced actions to curb
our community's trend of population decline. Built on the existing work that is
occurring in the City to grow the population, the Framework identifies 30 new
actions that our community will accomplish over the next three years with a
focus on three pillars:
`19%
-3-
1) Attract new people to Saint John; 2) Enhance the newcomer experience in
Saint John; and 3) Retain our population in Saint John.
Many of the actions will require coordinated work plans, and leveraged funding.
Each action will be coordinated by a lead organization, and they will be
supported by partnering organizations.
The Framework is a living document, and Council can add new actions as existing
ones are completed. The Framework is also unique among recent City strategies
and reports in that, the Community has primary ownership of the strategy, and it
is not simply driven by the City of Saint John (i.e. more than 50% of the actions in
the Framework will be led by other stakeholders). As a result of extensive
consultation, City staff believes that there is a very high level of consensus
among stakeholders on the Framework and the initial set of actions.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
As a result of population decline the City of Saint John will lose an estimated $15
million in unconditional grant funding over five years between 2018 and 2022.
The Growth Committee recommends the use of $35,000 from the Growth
Reserve Fund to support City -led project deliverables under the Population
Growth Framework in 2018 such as: A New Resident Guide, A Recruitment
Mission, Newcomer Success Stories, Love Your City Social Media Campaign, etc.
Other partnership opportunities are also being sought with the Population
Growth Division (Government of New Brunswick) as well as Atlantic Canada
Opportunities Agency (Government of Canada). The ability to point to direct in-
house Council supported budget allocation towards Framework projects will
enhance the City's ability to successful identify leverage funding opportunities
with other levels of government.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The Framework was developed over one year by:
• Multiple engagements with the Growth Committee.
• Feedback from almost every City Department, the Senior Leadership
Team and the contribution of dozens of City staff.
• Engagement with various departments of both the Provincial and Federal
Government.
• Consultation with two dozen external agencies and organizations, and
over 50 interviews.
• Research on best practices in other municipalities in Canada and the USA.
• Statistical analysis of population growth data, trends, and population and
economic projection data for Saint John.
`Bic]
-4-
• Progressively larger and larger vetting and validation sessions with
newcomers, community leaders, stakeholders, and experts on matters of
immigration, economics, job growth, education, marketing etc.

Despite our challengeswe are hopeful because we Ikinow first hand the awesorne

WHY A POPULATION

Over the (last 45 years„ Saint John has seen a IhistoricM decline i in population of
Mnnosl:25%. In 197 1, our population was 89,039. By 2016,our Ips: pulation Ihad
faHen to 67,575.'The 2016 Census indicated that our community now has the
distinction of being the only Census MeitropoHitan Area (CMA) in Canada to
shrinkduring that Ipeiriod. (Hpirel)
Our community cain no Iloingeir watch our population decline.WV� meed to have
a focused and coordinated approach to growing our population. I his Framework

One of the significant challenges facing SaintJohin is outrnigiration.We need to
give our youth a vision for their future in SaintJohin. I hey need the tools and
qppoirtuini ties to build their woirk networks and find good jobs otherwise they
�leave for greener Ipastuires.
We. also need to welcorne the world to Saiint..Johin.With one of the fastest aging
pqpulatioins in the country, current econornic forecasts for New Brunswick
indicate that our(labs: uir pool will not he sufficient to rneet dernainds created
with the IretllrennenU of the baby boorneirs.

Whein exarnining the SaintJohin

entirely due to international

Source: Stotistics Conada Table 051-0057- Components of population growth by census metropokon creo (Figure 2).
Even with the availability of affordable housing and attractive ineighbouirinoods,
a significant challenge facing the City is tha t while over 85% of the regional
jobs are within the City, over 37% of 1peope who work in SaintJohin do not
live in the City and instead commute to work. (Statistics Canada, 2016 National
HousehoH Survey)Jam"I"', ag,
This daily iinfluxof inoin residents Iputs a significant strain oin the City's " IN,
infrastructure and seirvices.Aind whHe they make ain ii-ripoirtaint. coin tri bu doin . ......
to the Ilocall econorny by working, purchasing goods and services, and
supporting Ilocall businesses within the City, commuters do next contribute
piropeirty taxes to the City; SaintJohin residents alone subsidize the
cost of the vast majority of the infrastructure and services that commuters
Mg
use.'This is a significant factor in SaintJohin's Inigh tax irate that
contributes to a cyclic Ipatteirin of uirbain spirawl k:)uind in Irrwany cities NO,
across North Arneirica.
Population decline also has a direct and ii-nirnediate ii-ripact oin the City's
finances. Because the City lost 2,488 people in the 2016 Census, the aininual
unconditional grant frorn the Province of New Biruinswickwill be reduced by
an esdirnated $3M aininually until the next Census in 2021.
Sirnply Iput,we need to grow our population. lin order to be effective at
population girowth,we will need every level of Government, Ilocall businesses,
stakeholdeirs,aind ouirwhole cornmunitywoirlding together to achieve growth.
SIGNS OF GROWTH:
WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFEI
I heire is a inewvibiraincy a ind opHimism Illi SaintJoh in. Despite geneiral popula Lion

walkability, and quick access to the waterfront.
(JintilrecentlySaiintJoh in was witnessing the hollowing out of our uirbain coin.
I his doughnut effect is now showing sigins of reversing as young professionals
and redirees looking to downsize acre Imovling in to our uptown in diroves.
For Ireslidends who Ipirefelr a little moire space, SaintJohin has beautiful
ineighbouirinoods spiread throughout the Citywith access to schools, (including
the inewest school in the pirovince), shopping, pairks, and otheir amenities
essential in an uirbain Illifesdylle.
SaintJohin is surrounded by water. As the only city oin the Bay of Fundy, our
beautiful beaches and waterways offer inuirneirous oppoir tumonies k:)ir
swii-niming, kayaking, fishing, boating, and even skading in the winter.
We. have over M 90 hectaires of IpuIblic Ipairlldaind,which is moire Keir capita thain
alimost any other city in North America. Rockwood Pairk rivals NewY(:)irk's Central
Pairk in its size, Ibeaudy,alnd Ipiroxulrnlidy to our uirbain coin. I he breathtaking Irving
Nature Pairkdraws nu rneirous of visitoirs daily.
I he City Ihas made ii-riprovemenits to H a rbouir Passage, which wiraps around our
waterfront and is used heavily by our Iresidents.We have inew playgrounds,
dog parks,and spa ash Dads in Ikey locations, as well as Ihliglh quality recreation
facilities such as: Emera HeK the Canada Games Aquatic Ceintire, iJNBSJ, the
new state of the airt YMCA of Greater Saint John, and the Iplalnlned Gireateir
Saint-Johin Field House.
SainitJohin is the culkinairy Ihulb of New Brunswick.With Inurnerous Ihliglh quality
and awaird winining irestauiraints,and a hip and uirbain inightlife,you don't have
to lookveiry fair to experience an incredible inight oin the town. Sain LJohin is
steelped in history and cu kure.We aire a cultural capital of Canada and we have
inciredible heritage buildings across our City.
We. Aso have ain active airts and culture scene with a dozen airt galleries, the New
Brunswick Museuirn, and nurneirous coinceirts, Illive peirk:)irrnainces and festivals
throughout the yeairWe Ihad over 1.6 IrrIIIIIIkon visitoirs come to SaintJohin in 2016.
Our tourism industry is thiriving, and is Ipoised to see continued girowth.
I he City is currently engaged in Marge scale pir(:)jects which collectively are worth
over $1 Ibllllllion,alnd aire employing Ihu indireds of residents, such as: Sa fe. Clean
Drinking Water Pir(:)ject; Port SaintJohin Modernization; i.)pgrades at the Pullp
and Palpeir Will; A (brand new Seaside Pairk School; I he lirving Oil Horne Office
lower; and the irecently announced NB Museurn.
Our quality of life is veiry Ihliglh and our unemployment irate is low (6.1 %). I he
ratio of the average Thorne Ipirice to salary is only 251.Cornpaired to (larger cities
such as Ibirointo wheire that ratio is over 9:1, it's no wonder that our Citywas
recently narned one of Canada's Best Cities k:)irJobs and Aff(:)irdable Homes (#3),
Huffingtoin Post (2017).
If we waint to girow, we (need to Ilead Ibyexample.SaintJohin Imusd Ibecs:me New

RECOMMENDATION
It is in order for Common Council to give first and second reading of the attached
amendment to the Saint John Noise By-law.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In May 2017, Common Council considered a staff report that provided three
options to address the issue of noise generated by heat pumps: (1) amend the
Noise By-law to include heat pumps specifically; (2) amend the Noise By-law to
include a broad provision that can be applied to heat pumps and a number of
other non-specific types of noise; or (3) choose not to regulate this type of noise
due to the low number of complaints (only 1 currently).
At the meeting of May 29, 2017, Common Council referred the issue to the City
Manager to prepare an amendment to the Noise By-law to specifically include
noise generated by heat pumps.
The Legal Department has drafted the attached amendment to the Noise by-law
for Common Council's consideration for first and second reading.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
180191
-2 -
May 28, 2017: "RESOLVED that the matter of noise generated by Heat Pumps be
referred to the City Manager for a Noise Bylaw amendment that includes heat
PUMPS."
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This issue relates to Council's priority of a Vibrant, Safe City.
REPORT
The attached amendment to the Noise By-law specifically includes noise
generated by heat pumps as a "qualifying" noise under the by-law. The
amendment adds the operation of heat pumps as an action that is subject to the
by-law.
The pertinent sections of the by-law are below:
Section 3(1) states:
"No person shall during the times set out in subsection 3(3)make a noise
which results from an action listed therein if the noise is clearly audible on a
street and is likely to cause a public nuisance or otherwise disturb one or more
inhabitants of the City."
Section 3(2) states:
"No person shall during the times set out in subsection 3(3) permit to be
made on property which is owned by him or is leased by him a noise which
results from an action listed therein if the noise is clearly audible on a street and
is likely to cause a public nuisance or otherwise disturb one or more inhabitants
of the City."
Section 3(3) then lists the actions and times that are included in the by-law. If
approved, heat pumps will be included as subsection 3(3)(o):
"(o) The operation of a heat pump between the hours of of 9:00
o'clock in the evening and 7:00 o'clock of the following morning."
The restricted hours of 9pm to 7am are similar to those for construction
equipment, domestic outdoor power tools, and combustion engines associated
with toys and models.
As per section 3, a valid complaint would be restricted to heat pump noise
between the hours of 9pm and 7am that is clearly audible on a street and is
likely to cause a public nuisance or otherwise disturb one or more inhabitants of
the City. In other words, a complaint would be valid if made by at least one
person during the hours listed if the heat pump can be heard on a street.
Wel
-3 -
As the Police Force enforces the Noise By-law, any complaints would be
submitted to or referred to the Police Force.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Given the anticipated low volume of complaints, it is expected that minimal
resources will be required within the Police Force to respond to complaints.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The Legal Department drafted the attached amendment and resolution.
The Legal Department and Police Force have been provided a copy of this report
for their review.

RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff is recommending Common Council provide direction on next steps for
constructing the splash pad at the Market Place West District Recreation
complex.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents new options to build and fund a splash pad at the Market
Place West District Recreation complex.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
At its January 29, 2018 meeting Common Council received a report from City
staff summarizing tender results to construct the splash pad at the Market Place
West complex. All tenders exceeded the project budget, with the lowest being
$235,000 over budget. No direction was sought or received from Council except
to file the report. However, comments and questions from members of Council
at this meeting provided a path forward for staff to consider, including that:
• Support for the project by Council continues,
• Construction timelines that results in operation of the splash pad beyond
2018 is acceptable,
• Cost reduction measures should be explored to bring the project back on
budget such as,
o Explore removing costly project components such as the
treatment equipment,
o Explore alternate procurement methods (other than traditional
tender)
PA 191
-2 -
REPORT
Following the January 29 Council meeting negotiations with the low tenderer did
not result in significant cost savings. Staff will not be recommending award of a
contract as a result of this tender and will be cancelling this tender process given
available project budget.
Staff confirmed the $100,000 of approved ACOA funding for the project will no
longer be available. An ACOA funding condition required the City to procure
$200,000 of splash pad equipment by March 31, 2018, which is no longer
feasible given the cancelled tender. ACOA has confirmed the condition cannot
be amended with an extended timeline under the current funding agreement.
The result is the project funding gap is now $335,000 using the low tender as the
benchmark.
Staff are currently exploring procurement methods such as:
• Requesting proposals: A base set of design requirements, including an
upset construction cost, would be issued as an RFP. Consortiums of
designers and contractors would submit finalized design options that
meet the base requirements. The City would award a proposal based on
several factors including project costs.
• Modified tender: Staff would explore procuring the splash pad
equipment separate from the construction of the splash pad.
Each procurement method has pros and cons. Staff are currently finalizing
investigational work with its architecture/engineering constultant before
deciding on the method to use.
The main goal of the procurement method chosen will be to reduce the cost of
the project. In addition to the chosen procurement method, several other
factors are being explored to achieve at least $200,000 in cost savings compared
to the previous low tender including:
• Changing the splash pad design from a treated water system to a flow
through system. This change results in reduced equipment costs and
reduced ongoing lifecycle maintenance costs but requires scope
reduction to minimize the amount of water used by the splash pad and a
method to manage the used water.
• Allowing flexibility in design features to re -introduce competition of the
splash pad equipment. The previous tender process discounted one
major equipment supplier as an approved equivalent.
• Increasing timelines of the various procurement phases. Attempting to
achieve the ACOA timeline condition required accelerated design, tender
and equipment delivery timelines.
• Exploring other cost reducing design options as required.
NEI
-3 -
The above -noted cost reduction initiatives still leaves a project cost -to -funding
gap of approximately $135,000 that needs to be closed to allow the project to
move to a new procurement phase. There is some risk of loss of a further
$200,000 of project funding given the RDC, another funding partner, provided a
construction deadline of March 31, 2019. There appears to be some flexibililty in
RDC's deadline, particularly if construction is well underway before this date.
However, the current agreement with RDC specifies this end date and funding
beyond March 2019 for a substantial portion of the project would need to be
assessed by RDC for funding in their 2019-2020 fiscal year. Staff also notes that
the $120,000 of identified community funding is not tied to a particular deadline
so there is some flexibility on when the full project scope needs to be completed.
In essence, there is some flexibility in the construction timeline but this flexibility
is certainly not indefinite. The Service and Financial Outcomes section of this
report identifies funding options to close this remaining $135,000 funding gap.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Constructing a splash pad at the Market Place West District Recreation complex
aligns with Council's priority of investing in recreation experiences and with
PlaySJ.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Under a revised procurement process, staff propose to close the $335,000
funding gap partially by cutting at least $200,000 of project costs (compared to
the January tender results).
Additional funding of approximately $135,000 would be required to close the
remaining project budget gap. Two main options are available to secure the
additional funding:
1. Waiting for external additional funding of $135,000 to be secured, or
Common Council commits additional and contingent funding of
$135,000 in addition to the $250,000 Council already committed to the
project. The following contingencies could be employed to mitigate this
added burden if Council chooses this option:
• Any external project funding sources that become available
would cause the City's commitment to be reduced by an equal
amount up to this $135,000 additional commitment,
• Capital funding not required by other General Fund Capital
projects shall be redirected to this project, where possible.
Option 1 does not add additional Capital borrowing liability onto the City. This
option however does not define when the project can move to a new
procurement phase and therefore there remains some level of risk of losing the
currently committed $200,000 of RDC funding.
PhR
-4 -
Option 2 allows the project to immediately move to a new procurement phase.
However, this option does add risk of additional borrowing burden, albeit with
suggested contingencies to manage this risk.
Additional external funding sources are being explored. City staff are actively
working on preparing an application to one external funding source that is
focused on building accessible play parks. The neighbourhood group had applied
to a second external funding source.
It should be noted as well that the City of Saint John is still awaiting the outcome
of several applications for funding under various programs, namely the Small
Communities Fund. Any funding from other levels of government under this
program would free up additional funding since the City has already budgeted
100% of the necessary funds.

INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The City's Materials Management Division provided advice in preparing this
report.
City staff will communicate the revised project goals to the neighbourhood and
to funding partners. It will be important the neighbourhood understands
expectations need to be managed to provide best chance of successfully building
a splash pad. There is a potential risk of losing at least the $200,000 of RDC
funding without a revised plan as detailed in this report.

RECOMMENDATION
1) It is recommended that Council allow for remote participation using
teleconference for Special or Emergency meetings of Council
2) It is recommended that Council not proceed at this time with changing its
procedural by-law to allow for remote electronic participation in regular
open session meetings of Council, Committee of the Whole meetings or
other committee meetings until reliable technological solutions have
been identified
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The provision for electronic meetings in the Local Governance Act allows Council
members to attend Council and Committee of the Whole meetings remotely
using technology, such as tele conference or video conference. Should
municipalities wish to take advantage of the new electronic meeting provisions,
an amendment to the Council procedural by-law is required.
During discussion with vendors to research a technology solution, we were
informed that in Europe this kind of remote participation is not allowed;
members must be physically present in the meeting room. These vendors are
now designing technology, and will begin beta testing the remote voting solution
this summer for the North American market.
The Deputy Clerk participates as a member on the International Institute of
Municipal Clerks (IIMC) Legislative Committee. The purpose of the Legislative
committee is to:
PAIN
-2-
(1) Identify trends in state/provincial/national legislation impacting the
Municipal Clerk profession,
(2) Provide links to state/provincial/national legislative resources,
(3) Work with the Research and Resource Committee to make information on
state/provincial/national legislative resources available on the IIMC resource
page, and
(4) To monitor and review federal legislation pertinent to the profession.
During the past 5 years electronic meetings were not an item being given any
significant profile by the IIMC Legislative Committee. Electronic meetings have
enabling legislation in a few states, but are not receiving a noticeable
implementation.
It should be noted that while both New Brunswick and Ontario gave Royal Assent
in 2017 to new legislation modernizing municipal government. Ontario
prohibited a member of council or committee of council to participate
electronically in a meeting which is closed to the public whereas the New
Brunswick legislation has permitted such participation.
A review of the Ontario Hansard provided an analysis of the MI -As comments on
electronic meetings. Their caution was to go slowly and to review the Act in 5
years when better technology is available. The reasons documented in Hansard
for remote participation were to enable members with disabilities to have easy
access, or to accommodate the long distances required to travel to meetings by
rural members. The remote participation was not to be for the convenience of
members who are on holiday and want to connect to a meeting. The MI -As who
commented all had prior experience as municipal councillors.
On review of the New Brunswick Hansard, there was no discussion raised by any
MI -As in the legislature on electronic meetings during the discussion of Bill 44,
the Local Governance Act.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
Committee of the Whole Open Session January 15, 2018
RESOLVED that the Common Clerk be directed to explore further options for
electronic meetings.
MOTION CARRIED
Technology Costs - Broad Quotes:
Conference phone is approx. $600-800 with no connection to meeting
management software. This is recommended for Emergency Meetings and
Special meetings.

Duoson (current technology provider) and Ivan's Audio provided the following
cost estimates:
• Audio conferencing based solution integrated with the existing
microphone system in Council chambers would be in the range of
$10,000 with touch screen controller/dialer.
• A video conferencing based solution would start in the $15,000 and up,
however this solution would not offer remote voting or direct meeting
integration.
An RFP will be issued for the refit of Council Chambers and Committee room
technology. Some of the existing equipment can be reused and/or integrated
with a new system.
In conclusion
The technology selected to permit remote participation in Council/Committee
meetings should demonstrate the commitment of the City to: promote open
transparent government; to ensure meetings run smoothly and to reflect
positively on the image of the City.
Many of the current audio and visual components in the Chamber were installed
in 2002 and will need to be upgraded in the near future. Staff plan to coordinate
the needed upgrades with the anticipate renovations in the Council Chamber
associated with the new City Hall project. The refit of Council Chambers and
Committee room will examine options including: webcasting; a City YouTube
channel to broadcast Council/Committee meetings; and meeting
management/voting software.
It is recommended that the new Council Chambers and Committee room be
equipped in a Phased approach. Phase 1 (2018) would not include remote
participation technology. Phase 2 (2019 — 2020) would consider remote
participation technology with a voting component connected to the meeting
management software. The ability to budget for components as required is a
feature available from the vendors consulted.
Staff suggests that Council allowfor remote participation in Emergency or Special
meetings. Further allowances for remote participation could then be considered
by Council as technological solutions for remote meeting participation are tested
and refined.

Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act — Hansard Official Records "A"
Official Records for 29 November 2016 -House Debates..............................page 79 of 85
Speaker, this part was important to me. Many of us in the chamber today have a municipal
background, and I think it's important that we, as best we are able, provide some clarity on this
issue so as not to put municipally elected people in these very difficult circumstances from time
to time.
Municipalities and certain local boards would also be able to allow for more ways for members
to participate in meetings. We're proposing to provide municipalities and certain local boards
with authority to allow members to participate electronically in meetings that are open to the
public, for example, via teleconferencing and videoconferencing, rather than requiring them to
attend in person. However, in order to help ensure transparency, electronic participants could
not be included in the number of members required for a quorum.
If passed, this change would allow municipalities and local boards to provide for more inclusive
participation in council, local board and committee meetings. It would also help make meetings
more accessible for members. I'm sure there are a number of people who are elected
municipally in Ontario who, from time to time, find they have to travel great distances to attend
meetings, and I believe this would be helpful for them as well.
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act — Hansard Official Records "A"
Official Records for 1St December 2016 Debate................................................pages 7,8,9 of 79
The government has touted their extensive, summer -long 2015 tour of consultations on this
bill, and our party's critic, the member from Oxford, will be dealing with the content of many of
those submissions in his leadoff, which is soon to come. I find it interesting, though, that the
government is introducing the ability for councillors to participate in meetings electronically,
given that the last time this was introduced in a bill it was actually government members who
removed this section from the bill at committee, proving that some habits haven't changed
since 2003: It's still possible for a Liberal to be against something before they're in favour of it.
It kind of reminds me of the Hydro One sale.
This was supposedly done for large rural municipalities like Hastings Highlands or Tweed in my
riding; they're large rural municipalities. This would allow councillors who may live in
Queensborough to electronically attend a meeting of council or a committee meeting in Tweed,
or councillors who may live near Combermere to attend meetings in Maynooth, which sounds
like a good idea. It actually does sound like a good idea. However, you're forgetting one thing:
In large swaths of rural Ontario, there simply isn't the broadband Internet to allow that to
happen.
Now, I commend Hastings county, and I commend the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus and
the provincial and federal governments for contributing to a large project in eastern Ontario,
the EORN project as it's known, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network. A lot of money has been
spent over the last five years in trying to light up, as they say, homes and businesses across
eastern Ontario.
Keep in mind, eastern Ontario is the size of a lot of small countries in Europe. It's a large area,
and there are a lot of different geographical obstacles to overcome when it comes to the
topography, especially when you're up in the hills in McArthurs Mills in Carlow Mayo township.
You've got a lot of beautiful scenery up there, but it doesn't make getting Internet to those
homes and businesses the easiest thing in the world to do.
The other thing that happened since EORN started that project in trying to light up Internet in
homes in the rural countryside is that something called Netflix came along, which is using an
awful lot more Internet capacity than maybe they had planned for when they started the
project of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network. What they have to do is go back and build up
the capital projects even further, so that there is that capacity there for Internet in rural
Ontario so that these councillors, if they want to be able to sit in their home office and
participate in a council meeting, could do so.
The other thing that is very important as the objective, I believe, of this bill is that a lot of times
in rural Ontario, particularly in the winter months, we're seeing roads that are impassable.
There was evidence of this yesterday in the Auditor General's report. Contracts have been given
POzl
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act — Hansard Official Records "A"
to companies that simply aren't meeting the requirements of the contracts, and they still keep
getting the contracts year after year. The fines that they're supposed to be receiving are
forgiven, and they actually end up giving them bonuses for impassable roads.
There were a lot of moments in the past where perhaps there was a council meeting on a
Monday afternoon in Maynooth and the councillors simply couldn't get to the Hastings
Highlands offices. Perhaps they would have taken the opportunity to participate in that council
meeting through the Internet via a teleconference, if they had that opportunity. This is just one
example as well.
I think maybe this portion of the bill is well intended. I think it just shows the lack of a grip on
what is actually happening in rural Ontario, where there simply isn't the capacity for this to
become a reality. I think it shows how out of touch this government can be when they're
drafting legislation, particularly on how it impacts rural parts of the province. I believe the
stated rationale of this was always to make it easier for people in some large rural
municipalities to attend council meetings.
The act also amends the City of Toronto Act with the same provision. Geographically, the city of
Toronto isn't all that large. It's certainly not rural. Including the provision makes sense if you
feel that Toronto should be treated the same as every other municipality, and that's fair. It
makes sense, as I said, when paired with the parental leave provision that's included in this bill.
But pretending that the provision is being included largely to make life easier for councillors in
large rural municipalities is laughable. I know that the people writing that line were thinking, "It
gets cold up in north Hastings," or some similar municipality in rural eastern, southwestern or
northern Ontario. The roads aren't very good. If you have ever driven Highway 62 north of
Maynooth, then you know what kind of shape that road is in. If you've ever driven on County
Road 49 in Prince Edward county, you know what kind of shape that road in rural Ontario is in.
That's why Highway 62, in particular north of Maynooth, has always been an order paper
question of mine. I want to know when the government is going to help Hastings Highlands fix
that piece of highway that goes through their region. If it's a really snowy day, you just might
not chance that road.
Actually, what's happening on that road now, for the people who live in Herschel or Monteagle
townships in Hasting Highlands, is that road is being shut down at times, with load limits put on
it. It's causing real difficulty for industry in that area, particularly the logging industry that uses
that road in the wintertime. The road is just disintegrating before the eyes of the roads crew in
Hastings Highlands, and it really needs the help of the provincial and federal governments to fix
that situation. I think I've probably emphasized that point enough for the purposes of this
particular speech, though.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to give another example from this bill which raises a similar question.
This bill contains a clause which allows councillors to participate in meetings electronically. We
have some concerns about that, but what is really concerning is that the government said it is
for rural and northern communities where weather might prevent councillors from attending
the meeting, and then they included the amendments to the City of Toronto Act as well. Do the
government members think that Scarborough and Etobicoke are rural?
Mr. Speaker, it's interesting that the last time this government tried to put this change into the
Municipal Act, I was in committee when their own members accidentally voted it out during the
clause -by -clause.
I also find it interesting that during the municipal election legislation review, most of the
discussion about electronics focused on ways to increase public participation, such as
broadcasting meetings live, and yet none of those changes appear in this bill.
In fact, despite the fact that the government claims this bill is about transparency and
accountability, they are putting forward a change that would make council meetings less
transparent. Currently, members of the public can go to meetings and clearly see who is
speaking and how they are voting. If the government had done their research on this issue, they
would have found that there have already been issues with granting this ability in other
jurisdictions. Port Moody recently rescinded their municipal bylaw, which allowed electronic
participation at council meetings, after two different councillors tried it on separate occasions
and both had technical difficulties. The council considered spending $45,000 to upgrade their
teleconferencing abilities, which resulted in outrage from their residents. One letter to the
editor said:
"I was outraged to learn of Port Moody council's experiment with councillors 'attending' council
meetings by Skype. Why?
"First, our city councillors are paid well to participate in their civic duties and responsibilities. I
think attendance at city council meetings is their top priority where citizens with issues may
'see the whites of their eyes.' Face-to-face interaction is crucial."
The letter went on to say, "Residents with disabilities are expected to drag themselves to
council meetings to speak to issues. I would be more sympathetic if the remote conferencing
was being provided for our disabled and shut-in residents to participate in council meetings."
In fact, a number of municipal submissions to the legislative review suggested that electronic
participation should only be allowed for people with accessibility challenges. Allowing people to
simply call in to a meeting will make it far less transparent.

PGOU
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act — Hansard Official Records "A"
There are no requirements in this bill for videoconferencing or other steps to make sure that
the public will still be able to hold their representatives to account. As the town of Richmond
Hill said in their submission, "In order to allow the opportunity for the public to participate and
understand the decision-making of council, it is important that these meetings take place in an
open and transparent manner. Attendance at these meetings is part of this process as it allows
the public to come face to face and interact with the decision -makers in their community."
The submission from York region acknowledged that extensive use of technology to facilitate
attendance may erode the principle of accountability and transparency.
It's clear that the government hasn't thought this change through. In a briefing, the staff
couldn't even answer whether someone calling in to the meeting would count as absent or not.
If this provision was truly intended for exceptional circumstances, such as extreme weather,
then it should count as an absence to ensure that it cannot be abused.
Other jurisdictions, such as British Columbia, have put in restrictions around electronic
meetings to ensure transparency and accountability. These include ensuring there are facilities
so the public can fully watch and hear all participants in the meeting. If the government wants
to allow electronic participation in meetings, why aren't these measures included in the bill? Do
they not truly care about transparency? Or is it another instance where the government just
hasn't done the proper research?
NOW

Official Records for 28 February 2017 -House Debates..............................pages 17, 18 of 83
The second thing is related to electronic participation. This is section 238 of the act, as
amended, by adding the following subsection:
"The applicable procedure bylaw may provide that a member of council, of a local board or of a
committee of either of them, can participate electronically in a meeting which is open to the
public to the extent and in the manner set out in the bylaw provided that any such member
shall not be counted in determining whether" there is a quorum, but they can vote.
This is what I'm now calling the mail -it -in amendment. I know many members spend a lot of
time in their car over the weekend, attending events. I do—far too much time in my car. If you
are a CBC listener, there is a radio program on Saturdays called This Is That. It's satire. I'm going
to underline that: It's satire.
Many months ago, the program This Is That had a news feature that talked about how the
federal government was going to allow MPs to electronically vote on legislation that was
happening at the federal level. This is satire. It was actually quite funny. It was 10 or 15
minutes, and they were mock -interviewing MPs who said, "Oh, yeah, it would be great if I could
stay in my bathtub or hot tub and then vote on the amendment as it came forward," and on
and on it went.
Lo and behold, the next day, I'm at another event and a constituent comes up to me and he
says, "Sylvia, I am so offended that the federal government is actually considering allowing MPs
to vote in and not have to attend to their duties in Ottawa."
I'm in a very uncomfortable position to explain to the individual that in fact it was satire, and
no, the federal government is not going to allow it. Well, guess what? We're allowing it with Bill
68. How foolish. The whole part of this debate, the whole part of why we participate here in
this chamber, is to hear the other side, to listen to the debates, to try to convince people that
this amendment is going to cause problems.
Back to the This Is That satire program: Canada is fairly large. Ontario is fairly large. We have
444 municipalities in the province of Ontario. We are not expecting our municipal
representatives to travel for two and a half days to get to their centre of government,
participate in debates and vote on legislation or, in their case, bylaws.
Please, please, please explain to me why we need the mail -it -in amendment. I don't like it, as
you can probably tell. I don't understand why it's there. As the warden of one of my counties
explained to me, they already have the ability, in an emergency situation, to have a discussion,
to have an executive decision, to have a committee move forward on things when there is an
emergency in their municipality. Please don't tell me that this is to ensure that, when we have a
ri
PJQ-13
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
tornado or we have heavy flooding, this will allow the municipal government to continue,
because that's not the case. We already have that in place. That ability is already there under
our municipal government.
I would love for the government to remove the mail -it -in amendment. I do not see the value of
it. I do not see what you're trying to solve. What are you trying to improve? What are you trying
to fix? What are we trying to fix with that particular amendment to section 238? 1 don't
understand. I don't see it. I have yet to have a municipal representative who isn't saying
tongue-in-cheek that they need that mail -it -in amendment. It's not appropriate. Part of what
we have as a responsibility is to come to consensus.
Often when I talk at schools and to people about the various differences between the
municipal, provincial and federal levels of government, I try to explain that municipally,
historically and generally, people don't affiliate themselves with a particular party system. Part
of that is because municipal government tends to base its decisions on finding some common
ground. Provincially and federally we do it much more along party affiliations. At the municipal
level, what we try to do is not have those, "I'm always going to vote with this bloc of
individuals. I am always going to vote with this bloc of people." If we do not have the individual
councillors sitting around the council table and hearing the other side, we're not going to have
that.
What they're going to do is, on Friday night, they're going to review their council package,
they're going to go through it and they're going to put an "S" or an "O" behind every
amendment—potential bylaw. They're not going to listen to the other council members explain
their side. They're not going to hear from the public, who often appear at council—in person, I
might add, Speaker. They don't get to mail it in. They appear in front of council to explain why
they support or oppose a particular bylaw or amendment change. They're just going to mail it
in and either call or have the computer set up so that they can just say "support" or "oppose."
I don't think that any of us wants that to happen at the municipal level. I certainly don't want to
have it happen at the federal level, notwithstanding how funny the This Is That satire program
was on it.
I grant that the timing is coming to an end, but if I can finish with: If we could have the mail -it -in
amendment removed, I would be very happy.
Second reading debate deemed adjourned.

Mr. Lou Rinaldi: Yes, try to say nothing. Yes, a new strategy.
I move that section 26 of schedule 1 to the bill be amended by adding the following subsection:
"(3) Section 238 of the act is amended by adding the following subsection:
"'Same
"'(3.2) The applicable procedure bylaw shall not provide that a member of council, of a local
board or of a committee of either of them, can participate electronically in a meeting which is
closed to the public."'
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Thank you. Any comments?
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: Sure. This motion complements the previous subsection of the bill, subsection
26(2), which addresses electronic participation in meetings that are open to the public. The
change proposed in this motion will clarify the members would not be able to participate
electronically in meetings that are closed to the public.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Further discussion? Mr. Hardeman.
Mr. Ernie Hardeman: Just a question through you to the parliamentary assistant, the question
being that if a councillor can phone in to a meeting that's a public meeting, so they're not facing
the electorate—they can do that in a regular council meeting, but they cannot do that in an in -
camera meeting. Why is that necessary?
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Mr. Rinaldi.
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: The in -camera session might be sensitive, and we don't know who's on the
other end of the phone. It's good to use the phone while it's open to the public, so that
anybody could participate. But during a closed session, we just want to make sure we're
protected, that the person who is on electronically doesn't have anybody else in that room or
who could listen to the conversation. It's a closed meeting.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): I have Mr. Hatfield and then Mr. Hardeman.
Mr. Percy Hatfield: I don't wish to be argumentative. I remember my days on Windsor city
council. I know what happens in an in -camera session of council. Quite often, you are getting
information or direction from senior staff on a property issue, a legal issue, a bargaining issue,
whatever. And then, later, you go out in a public session, and if that item is on the agenda, you
are then going to vote on it.
E3
P49191
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
If you have a 10 -member council and two of them, for the sake of argument, can't be there,
they're going to call in for the public meeting and take part in the discussion that's on the table.
As I understand it—correct me if I'm wrong—at some point in the bill, each municipality will
have the option of setting out their own procedural bylaw to determine whether councillors
who call in to a meeting can actually vote at that meeting. There is nothing in the act that says
you can or you cannot. That is left up to the municipality.
Now what you're doing is restricting—you're handcuffing—those who are going to participate
in the public meeting, and taking a vote, from having the information available to them from
senior staff that was given in camera.
I believe that if this goes ahead—I'm just seeing it for the first time; I haven't thought it
through—you're putting the person or persons who are going to phone in to the public meeting
at a great disadvantage, because they will not have any knowledge of the information that was
given to everybody else on council. If they are going to speak to a motion, something on the
floor, they may very well steer themselves into situations that could have been avoided had
they had the opportunity to take part in the conversation in the closed meeting. They may very
well open up a dialogue that is going to be detrimental to the entire municipality, because they
weren't cautioned in camera, "Don't go down that road, because, boy, there's something at the
end."
I don't know if you want to take this back and have a second thought or if your mind was made
up on this. I don't know if those who have framed this amendment have thought it through all
the way. It just hits me, right off the top, that we're heading down a slippery slope here if we're
going to be restricting all members of council from having full knowledge of an issue that they
could very well be voting on in a public session, if you deny them the opportunity to have
confidential information and advice from staff, direction from staff, at the in -camera meeting
before the public meeting.
Interjections.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): I'll put you on the list. I've got Mr. Hardeman, Mr. Fraser, Mr.
Coe, and then I'll have Mr. Rinaldi.
Mr. Ernie Hardeman: I want to be somewhat in the same vein as the previous speaker, but first
of all I want to say that we've heard a number of times from the government side that we have
to respect the ability of councillors in their job. They were elected to do a job, and I think that
would include trusting that if they're going into an in -camera meeting, they're not going to
have other people in the room who are going to cause a conflict, that it's not a closed meeting.
If we don't have that much faith in the councillors, then I think it's kind of window dressing
when you say, "We think that as a group they are mature and are doing a good job." Yesterday,
I think, Mr. Chair, someone tried to point out that in fact I didn't have respect for my local
colleagues at the municipal level. I want to say that this is one of those cases where I really
231
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
believe that you would have to leave it in the hands of the councillor to know that if they're
going into legal and personnel, that in fact they have to make sure that there are not others in
the room at the same time.
Having said that, I'm opposed to electronic meetings in toto, unless there's a good reason to
have that, to just say that as long as it's not the majority of council—so you still have a quorum
sitting in the council chamber—people can be part of the meeting by phone. They are the
government that's closest to the people, and it's based on the fact that people can come there
and sit face to face with the people who are making decisions on their behalf. They can ask
them questions and have them explain, as we're doing in this committee. On the phone, they
don't have that same connection with the people.
But going back to what Mr. Hatfield was talking about, I have some real concerns that a lot of
times what goes on in the in -camera meeting is in fact the discussion that's going to lead to the
final decision of council when they come back out. What will come back out of that closed
meeting is a motion to pass—and it may be at the same meeting, again, coming back out, or it
may be something that's going to come at the next meeting, when this person is actually sitting
at the table.
But the discussion that took place on which truck to buy, or which member of staff was not
meeting the standards that the municipality expects and they are going to dismiss—that whole
discussion, they would not have been part of. They were at the meeting—they were clocked in
as having been at that meeting—but when they went into legal and personnel, where you don't
keep attendance, they're not allowed to be there.
It just doesn't make any sense that we don't have enough faith in that person that they will sit
in private surroundings so they're docked "here," remembering that the person at the other
end can only hear what that member is saying; he's got the phone to his ear. I think this is
overkill in suggesting that there might be someone who hears an in -camera meeting because
we didn't have the clerk available to make sure that the room was swept of any listening
devices and all this other good stuff. I think we're going a long way. If we're going to be in the
business of electronic council meetings, I think we should allow that to be both open and closed
meetings.
1620
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): I go next to Mr. Fraser.
Mr. John Fraser: I want to concur with my colleague. An in -camera meeting is just that: It's
inside. I see what you're saying. It's not about trusting the people; it's about trusting these
things. It's about trusting communications. If you're doing something on the inside that's not
being communicated outside the room, then it shouldn't be communicated outside the room. It
has nothing to do with the trust of the person on the other side; it's the communication going
over that wire. It could be the person on the other side. I don't think anybody would do that. I
10
09%
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
don't believe in in -camera meetings in the first place; I'm not a big fan of them. I don't think
anybody would do that, but somebody might. Somebody might be able to pick up that
transmission. It's not the hardest thing to do in the world; we've been hearing a lot about that.
I understand what both my colleagues are saying across the way, but I think we have to think
about that as a principle.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Mr. Coe.
Mr. Lorne Coe: Can we have the ministry solicitor attend at the table, please?
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Mr. Rinaldi, it's your decision.
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: And the reasoning is?
Mr. Lorne Coe: I'd like the solicitor, through you, Mr. Rinaldi, to address the concerns and
issues that Mr. Hatfield addressed: the cause and effect of the amendment.
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: Chair, I look for your guidance in this because this is a policy decision from the
government. I could be wrong. It's not a staff decision.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Mr. Rinaldi, it's your decision to make.
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: I think I was fairly clear in explaining the reason. This is a policy decision from
government.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Okay. Mr. Coe, did you have anything further to say?
Mr. Lorne Coe: The cause and effect of this amendment is not clear, and I share the same
concerns that Mr. Hatfield expressed.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): I've got Mr. Rinaldi, Mr. McMeekin and then Mr. Hatfield.
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: I guess I'm going to refer mostly to Mr. Hatfield's concerns, and the others,
and Mr. Hardeman's as well.
With today's technology, we know how easily things get hacked, whether it be a telephone,
computer, whatever it is. So I think, from a perception standpoint, that somebody somewhere
in a closed session, in a closed room—sometimes it leaves those questions.
As I said yesterday, I have the utmost respect for my municipal colleagues. I think they're all
there for the right reasons.
11
P49191
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
This is to minimize that risk initially, number one; secondly, I think we have to remember that
this piece of legislation, if passed with this amendment, will be up for review in five years' time.
This is new; it's groundbreaking, I think, from a municipal perspective. I would argue: Let's be
cautious, and in five years we'll review it. There might be other technology that's even better
than what we have today.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): We go to Mr. McMeekin.
Mr. Ted McMeekin: I think we need to be careful here. This is something new that we're trying.
I think we need to go slow. There's something in my gut about in -camera meetings and people
phoning in from the cottage. They may be on the beach; they've probably got their cellphone
on because they're having trouble hearing, with all the noise around them, the conversation.
Mr. Hardeman, for whom I have a lot of respect, has been involved in a lot of municipal stuff for
years, as have some of the others of us. But—I shouldn't say "but"; I should say "and"—the
concern I have is that there are municipalities where the only thing you can be sure of is that
when they go in camera it's going to be leaked 10 minutes after it's out, and that's without
filtering in the cottage, the beach, and the concern that Mr. Fraser raised around the various
technologies that are in play.
I'm just not comfortable with it. Do I trust municipal councillors? Almost all, almost all of the
time, but some, hardly ever—that's the few, very, very few, but we've seen some incidents of
lawsuits at OMB hearings based on stuff that shouldn't be out there and was overheard by
somebody. Papers were left behind, and then you've got the whole trick of getting papers back
and forth to the person who's going to be calling in. Where do they go? Who delivers them?
Who sees them ahead of time?
Open, in terms of public meetings—anything that sits publicly, right? But confidential stuff—
land acquisitions, key personnel decisions, the kinds of things we traditionally go in camera
for—I don't think we're ready to have those with electronic participation at this point. As Mr.
Rinaldi said, we'll review it in a few years. If it works well, maybe we can revisit it, but I think it's
too soon.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): We go to Mr. Hatfield.
Mr. Percy Hatfield: I'm surprised we're getting this kind of pushback on something—what, of
the nine members of the committee, seven have served on council in one way, form, shape or
another. With all due respect, I don't know how many staff members from the ministry have
ever been elected at the municipal level, and they've framed clauses that have come to us,
some of us with some experience.
As a former councilman, as a former member of AMO, as a former member of the FCM board, I
have great respect for municipal politicians. I have great respect for integrity commissioners
and for codes of conduct. I would expect that if an elected city councillor was going to call into
12
WE
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
an in camera session, that person would only do so if that person was in a secure place, on a
secure line and without anybody else listening in. That is part of the rules. If you're following
along an integrity commissioner and a code of conduct, this is what you do.
With all due respect to my friend Mr. Fraser, who doesn't like in camera meetings, those are a
fact of life in municipal government. You have to do it on certain issues. You can't talk about
issues in public that you have to talk about in camera.
We're going to electronic voting. You mentioned the possibility of hacking. Well, if somebody
wants to hack an electronic voting machine, I would suspect it's as easy as hacking into a
BlackBerry.
There's nothing that says that when you call into a meeting you're on a beach or you're at the
cottage. You could very well be on a landline at home as you're sick in bed—as safe and secure
as that communication is. I just think that we haven't thought it through and we are setting up
barriers that will leave people voting in a public session with less than complete information on
the subject at hand, perhaps.
I can see if you say, "You can't call into an in camera session. You can call into a public meeting,
but you can't discuss or have any input into anything on that agenda that was discussed in
camera." That takes you out of that loop, if you want to go that way. But to say that you don't
trust municipal politicians to call in in camera and keep that information confidential because—
God help us, that's exactly what I heard from Mr. McMeekin: that you can't trust the safety and
the security of the phone line.
If anything, this just shows me all of the evidence that I need to say that this bill is not a well -
thought -out bill. There are things in this bill that we're rushing through, that we haven't given
serious consideration to. We've talked before about pages and pages and 50 or 60 or 70
amendments because of how poorly written this bill is. This is a prime example of that for me.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Mr. Dickson.
Mr. Joe Dickson: If you'd bear with me, when I look around the room I realize we have very,
very savvy, educated, previously elected members of many levels of government, whether it's
school board, municipal, regional or provincial. I wonder, because I don't know the depth of
everyone here, if they'd just go around the room and say, "21 years," "18 years," to give me a
little better feeling.
1630
I don't want to delay anything, and I don't want to make any comment on it. I'm here to listen,
not to speak.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): If the committee so chooses, you're welcome to do so.
13
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
Mr. Lorne Coe: I served for 13 years on a Durham regional council. I was on several
subcommittees at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
Mr. Joe Dickson: I apologize; just give me one number. I don't want to hold things up.
Mr. Ernie Hardeman: Ernie Hardeman. I spent 14 years on municipal council, at all levels.
Mr. Percy Hatfield: I spent seven years on Windsor city council. During that time, I served on
the national board of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. I served on the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario as an executive member, as an AMO vice-president and as chair of the
large urban caucus. Prior to that, out of my 30 years as a reporter, I spent 20 or 25 covering
municipal politics and provincial politics.
Mr. Joe Dickson: Just the number of years.
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: It's 23.
Mr. Joe Dickson: It's 23.
Mr. John Fraser: None.
Mr. Joe Dickson: None?
Mr. John Fraser: None.
Ms. Daiene Vernile: I spent 36 years covering Ontario politics.
Mr. Joe Dickson: I've done 40 years without even covering the 30 years in the newspaper, so
I'm 104 years old.
Thank you for the flexibility, Mr. Chair.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Thank you, Mr. Dickson. Is there any further comment? Mr.
Hardeman.
Mr. Ernie Hardeman: I want to go back to this amendment—
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Yes, number 14.
Mr. Ernie Hardeman: —and the comments that were made by one of the members who isn't
presently here. It really explains my problem with this whole section on electronic meetings.
We were told that it could be in emergencies, so people could call in to the meeting if, for
whatever reason, they couldn't get there because of inclement weather or the car wouldn't
14
091.1
Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act – Hansard Official Records "A"
start or whatever—they had a good reason. But then all of a sudden, when we're talking about
the closed sessions, we're saying they may be sitting at the cottage or at the beach. Again, I
don't think that's what the people voted for when they voted for their members of council: to
spend the summer at the beach and just call in. That's the reason I'm having this debate.
But I also want to go to the part about the way the phone call went, about what might
happen—they'd leave papers lying around. I would just point out that if you look at the
process—and I'm glad that Mr. Dickson asked about our experience. When they send out the
agenda, whether you're going to participate in the regular meeting, and the legal personnel—if
you're a member of council, you get the whole agenda. If we're worried that this in -camera
parcel of papers is going to get to the beach, where other people can see it, that's going to
happen regardless of whether they can call in with their comments on it. I just don't see the
merit of saying, "Oh, no, there's too much risk there."
If we're going to have better technology five years from now—I would hope we do, and I would
hope that the security on those would be far greater than it is today. But all of us today—and I
think most of us who are here at this table are wearing our BlackBerrys, or carrying our
BlackBerrys—we assume that the level of security that is there is sufficient to do what we need
to do. I can't remember the last time that I worried about what I was saying on my BlackBerry,
thinking somebody may be hacking that message. I may have had times I was on it when I
didn't stand close to other people, because I didn't think that was a conversation that I wanted
to go any further than between me and the person at the other end of the line. But I can't
remember ever worrying about it being hacked and that the meeting may not be secret.
Now, that's not to say I've never sat in on an in -camera meeting in person and, the next day,
gone out on the street and seen the message on the street. We didn't need protecting from
cyber -hackers.
The message doesn't always stay there. I think if we're looking for security, it may be more
secure coming on the line than it is going to the people who are at the meeting.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Thank you. Mr. Rinaldi.
Interjections.
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Gentlemen, Mr. Rinaldi has the floor.
Mr. Lou Rinaldi: Just very quickly—I'm glad Mr. Hardeman now believes in telephone or
electronic. He just said that.
I just want to make something clear, Chair. The bill is not mandating this. Municipalities
ultimately make the decision whether they're going to use this or not. Frankly, if they don't feel
comfortable, they don't pass a bylaw and it's business as usual. We're doing a lot of things here
where we're just assuming that this is a done deal and we respect municipal decisions.

Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario's Municipal Legislation Act — Hansard Official Records "A"
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Mr. Hardeman.
Mr. Ernie Hardeman: I think, Mr. Rinaldi, that's exactly my point. It's a municipal choice, but
with this amendment you're saying, "It's your choice, but if you choose to have electronic
meetings, we don't want you and will not let you have electronic meetings for in -camera
meetings." That's what I think is the funny part. I can understand that if the municipalities had
the concern that it's not private enough, they have a right to say we're going to have electronic
meetings, but not the in -camera part. Why does the province think it's more important to deal
with that than it is with the regular meeting? If you believe in their authority, why don't you let
them make that choice on both of them?
The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Thank you, Mr. Hardeman. I see no other comments. You're
ready for the vote?
Mr. Ernie Hardeman: Recorded vote.

The evaluation process considers community need and social impact of the
organization's service, project or event; its history in serving the community; its
alignment with council and city priorities, and its organizational strengths and
financial responsibility.
The Committee's primary task is to review, evaluate and identify funding
allocations according to adopted program guidelines and report back to
Common Council with recommendations.

Dear Mr. Mayor and Council,
A celebration of the magnitude of Canada 150 has left an indelible
impression across the globe. We have united for 365 days to truly embrace this
milestone for our country, with its apex surrounding our communal birthday,
July I. We have revelled in the past and celebrated the moment that built
our nation. We now turn our attention to the future: to the next 150. A Sanskrit
poem includes a stanza: " .. yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a
vision. But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow, a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day— " We
take this as our guiding principle as we reflect on the next 150 years as a
community, and as a nation.
Only with your support do we have the opportunity to host Saint John's
Official Canada Day Celebrations, embodying the true spirit of what if
means to be Canadian. It would be a great pleasure to partner with you in
delivering our region's most extraordinary annual event; consistently the
largest of its kind for over a decade. Whether your desire is to sponsor and
brand a particular activity, or to support the festivities in general, we have a
variety of methods to highlight your participation in making these events
successful.
As in past years, we look to Atlantic Superstore to provide the slab cakes for
the highly impressive Canada Day cake, icing to decorate the cake, and
cookiesto giveaway to the thousands of excited children. The Canada Day
Committee appreciates your assistance in making this Canada Day of the
greatest excellence to date!
Yours very truly,
SaintJ da Celebrations Committee

Dear Mayor Darling,
P R I SF NTS
Saffit "John 161,,,av,� de
Dragon Boat Bar,qiies,dtagons
Fe, val de Saint ]offfl,
I am writing on behalf of St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation to request your continued support of the
141h Annual Saint John Dragon Boat Festival. This year's festival is scheduled for August 25, 2018,
This will be the final festival supported by the Foundation and we intend to celebrate our collective
success at this year's event.
For 2018 the Foundation has committed to supporting the Breast Health Program at St. Joseph's
Hospital with the purchase of a new 3D Mammography Machine. St. Joseph's plays an important
role in the New Brunswick Breast Screening program providing over1l, 000 mammograms every
year. With the support of the our community the Foundation purchased the current machines in
2006
The new mammography will provide many new features that include 3D Tomosynthesis.
Tomosynthesis captures multiple image slices and is extremely beneficial for detecting small or
early cancer -earlier, better detection results in positive outcomes. The high resolution quality of
the 3D imaging is similar to that of a CT scan. For patients this new technology is more
comfortable, less time consuming and provides treatment right here at home,
It is our hope that no one ever has to hear that a loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer,
however it is comforting to know that the Breast Health Center at St. Joseph's is here should you
need it. The center serves as a resource where leading edge technology and attentive physicians
focus on early detection and support for patients diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Emphasis is placed
on timely evaluation, rapid diagnosis and providing the best options to those with the disease. Our
ultimate goal is to place current technology at the clinician's fingertips - resulting in optimal
patient care, reduced wait times and improved patient experience and outcomes.
Don, I do hope you will consider joining us as a sponsor for the 2018 Saint John Dragon Boat
Festival supporting the Breast Health Program at St. Joseph's Hospital. I look forward to hearing
from you, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (506) 632-5596 or
alternatively at Laurie.Floodna 1-forizonrib.ca.

Saint John, New Brunswick E2L 4L1
Dear Mayor and Council,
The New Brunswick Non Profit Housing Association is pleased to host our 25" Conference and Annual
General Meeting at the Delta Brunswick May 10-12, 2018. We look forward to sharing the hospitality
and richness of the Greater Saint John area with over 200 delegates who will travel from all corners of
New Brunswick and beyond in support of affordable housing. We hope to count on your support in
making our event successful and memorable for our delegates.
Finding and keeping a job, completing an education, raising a family or aging with dignity are next to
impossible without a safe, affordable place to call home. Fortunately, New Brunswick's affordable housing
system provides safe, affordable housing for those who might otherwise be precariously housed or at risk
of homelessness. The system includes over 14,000 affordable rental homes throughout the province, and
1721 of these homes are operated by NBNPHA members in the Saint John area. Together, our mission is
to support and strengthen New Brunswick's affordable housing system so that all residents can have
access to a safe, affordable place to call home.
Our members also create jobs and support the local economy through the purchase of goods and services along
with contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the local tax base. Organizations such as Housing
Alternatives, Human Development Council and Saint John Non Profit Housing are providing a
foundation of safety and security, while empowering tenants to more fully participate in the community and
economy.
We are pleased to return to your area for out 2018 conference, and we believe we can enrich our delegates
experience and bring greater value to Saint John through partnership. We therefore request your support
in two areas:
+ We cordially invite you to participate in our conference and bring greetings on behalf of
Saint John,
• We invite Saint John to become involved in sponsoring our conference, at the Gold Level
($5000) sponsorship. This package includes a tradeshow booth, recognition and promotion
before, during and after the conference, and many onsite opportunities as well.

K&I
We are working with a local host committee made up of our members who operate nonprofit, coop,
affordable and seniors housing in the Saint John area, as well as members such as Human Development
Council who develop many social innovation and social enterprise projects in the City.
Some highlights of this year's event include
• Thursday afternoon Housing Program Discussion Panel with senior level executives from national
and provincial housing organizations, who will answer our members' questions regarding the
National Housing Strategy's funding roll out.
• A guided walking tour of several projects in Saint John, including Waterloo Village, the Hub, First
Steps, and ending with a light reception at the Stone Soup Cafe.
• Friday kick off keynote speaker will be ground breaking social entrepreneur Shaun Loney, whose
book, "An Army of Problem Solvers" is garnering national attention. He is the co-founder and
mentor of 11 social enterprises, and we are very excited to bring his unique passion and ideas to
our members.
• Friday's workshop series will offer something for everyone, with 9 topics such as Board
Governance, Senior Wellness, Planning for Tomorrow and Safer Communities and
Neighbourhoods (SCAN).
Our conference rotates between the 4 New Brunswick Cities, and NBNPHA has developed strong
relationships with these municipalities. Over 25 years, we have developed a world class event which
attracts delegates from across the country, as well as healthy representation from provincial and federal
governments. We strongly believe there is a role for municipal governments in the affordable housing
spectrum, and we sincerely look forward to your involvement with our members and our event.
