Lacking any information regarding the nature of this contamination and any hazardous materials in the soil we are concerned over possible impacts on the harbour and marine environment, the surrounding area and public health.

On behalf of the Saint John Board of Police Commissioners, I am pleased to provide a copy of this report to Common Council in accordance with Section. 7 (3) of the New Brunswick Police Act. submitted, Saint John Board of Police Commissioners 3i1 5 CLOSED SESSION October 14, 2009 David Emerson, Chairman and Members of the Board of Police Commissioners Chairman Emerson and Members SUBJECT 2009 Operating Budget — August YTD Financial Results CK"Et INJ K, The purpose of this report is to provide the Board with an August 31, 2009 update on the financial position, of the Saint John Police Force's Operating Budget along with a year-end projection. FINANCIAL POSITION/RESULTS For the period ended as at August 31, 2009, the Saint John Police Force was under budget by $51,931. There were six key items that contributed to this favorable budget variance for the second fiscal reporting period in 2009. The savings identified in the Goods and Services accounts for the most part, relate to the timing of purchases rather than actual reduction in expenditures, 1. Revenue Offsets - $402,691 2. Salaries and Wages were over budget by $391,194. 3. Overtime costs exceeded budget by $191,459. 4. Wage costs for On-Call and Court Time were over budget by $69,176. 52 David Emerson, Chairman and Members of the Board of Police Commissioners October 14, 2009 Page 2 Subject. 2009 Operating Budget — August 2009 Financial Results 5. Fringe Benefits were over by $79,345. 6. Good and Services were below budget by $380,413 : 0 0 - A, - - REVENUE OFF-SETS The $402,691 credit against operating expenses is made up of revenue for Secondments, Peacekeeping Missions, Extra-Duty assignments, and ETS On-Call contract with Pt. Lepreau. Secondments and Peacekeeping Missions $217,995 Extra-Duty Billings $105,696 Pt. Lepreau — ETS Members On-Call $25,000 $402,691 SALARIES AND WAGES Local 61 Salaries were over budget by $483,971. This unfavourable variance is further reduced by the $217,995 recovered back through Secondments and Peacekeeping Missions. This balance will be further reduced with additional billings for Secondments and Peacekeeping Missions for the 3rd and 0 quarter of 2009. Local 61 The overtime costs were over budget by $194,406. The Patrol Division accounted for $159,760 and the Criminal Investigation Division was over budget by $27,322. This variance is further reduced by $105,696 in revenue generated by Extra Duty billings. 53 David Emerson, Chairman and Members of the Board of Police Commissioners October 14, 2009 Page 3 Subject. 2009 Operating Budget — August 2009 Financial Results OTHER PERSONNEL COSTS On-Call Pay On-Call pay for the first four months is over budget by $30,572 and this amount is reduced by $25,000, which reflects the June bi-annual billing to Pt. Lepreau for Emergency Tactical Services (ETS) members that are on-call each week. Court Time Local 61 The cost for court time exceeded budget by $35,729. The various Goods and Services accounts were under budget by $380,413. This favourable variance for this series of accounts is primarily attributed to the timing of purchases and the allocation of the budget over the twelve months. Traditionally, the first trimester or the April financial reporting period has not been a good indicator of the projective year-end financial position for the Force. The second reporting period ending on August 31, 2009 will provide sufficient budget data to make a final year-end projection. All pending orders for goods and services will be processed in September to ensure delivery is completed by December 1, 2009. The August financial report is the reference point used to project the final budget results at year-end while recognizing there often is unforeseen incidents that may occur at an operational level during the last trimester that are not predictable, which can substantially increase overtime costs. However, based on discussions with senior operational managers, there are no major events anticipated that should increase overtime costs for the last quarter in 2009. 54 David Emerson, Chairman and Members of the Board of Police Commissioners October 14, 2009 Page 4 Subject: 2009 Operating Budget — August 2009 Financial Results The revenue sources from Secondments, Peacekeeping Missions, Extra-Duty, Atlantic Governors/Premier Conference, and all cost recovery from Special Joint Operations will continue to reduce the salaries and overtime costs for the organization. Based on all known variables that can have an impact on the Operating Budget, the projected year-end financial position for the Saint John Police Force is estimated to be the approved budget of $21,928,041 with no significant variance anticipated by the Police Chief and senior management. It is recommended that the Board accept and approve this Financial Report for the period ended as at August 31, 2009 and forward a copy to Common Council as required under Section 7 (3) of the New Brunswick Police Act.

Insurance $17,355 e Vehicle Insurance: The actual premium cost for insurance coverage in 2009 (fleet and facilities) was $3k less than anticipated. 0 Deductible Account: under budget by $18k and this relates to the timing of any charges back to the Police for insurance claims. Professional Services $11,723 - Legal and the cost for detention security was under budget but this results from the timing difference between the budget allocation and the acquisition and/or invoicing for the service. Other Purchased Services ($6,825) * No significant variance at the end of April 2009 other than the timing difference between the budget allocation and acquisition of goods and services. Repair & Maintenance $76,593 ® Computer Maintenance $83k. This significant variance at the end of August results from the timing of invoices from Sungard and other service providers for maintenance and licence agreements for the Records Management System and other software programs utilized by the Force in 2009. Rentals $43,624 No significant variance at the end of August other than the timing of the monthly City Hall lease charge which will be adjusted in the next reporting period. 57 Saint John Police Force — August 2009 Budget Variance Analysis Expense Cateciory Variance Fynlanafinn M Vnrianna Purchased Goods $65,760 - No significant variance at the end of April 2009 other than the timing difference between the budget allocation and acquisition of goods and services.

Building Maintenance is over budget by $14k at the end of August. Asset Purchases $64,451 These under-budget amounts for $64k are related to the timing of purchases and a freeze has been implemented for the last quarter of 2009 for any asset purchases unless it is absolutely necessary.

Last night was the fourth time our basement has flooded in over a year and three quarters: -Christmas Eve, 2007 -Hurricane Hannah, September 2008 -Hurricane Danny, August, 2009 -the storm of October 24/25, 2009 Our basement must now have its third rebuild; we have only lived in this house since September, 2004. We are now approaching our third Christmas without a basement; half of the time we have been living here we have been without a basement. Over and above the extreme inconvenience, cost and stress this has caused our family, we wonder at what point will we no longer be able to get insurance? All of these floods are, in our estimation, the responsibility of the City of Saint: the first caused by a blocked sewer line by a tree on City property; the others caused by an obviously inadequate infrastructure. We trust that you will remedy the situation immediately, and effectively, so that we can get on with our lives. Yours sincerely, Don Uhryniw, for the Uhryniw family: Jennifer, Don, Ariel and Jonah 72 .. ' 1'0 COMMON � 111111 OPEN SESSION M &C2009 -369 November 5, 2009 His Worship Ivan Court and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors: SUBJECT Additional Costs for Peter Murray Arena Board Replacement BACKGROUND: City of Saiia John Previously approved by Common Council in 2009 was the replacement of the arena boards at the Peter Murray Arena. The contract was awarded to Erb's Enterprises following a competitive bid process. The original contract value was $212,613.59. ANAT,VCTC- During the course of constriction four (4) specific unforeseen items were identified, which resulted in additional costs, not accounted for in the original tendered (contract) amount. The unforeseen items as well as the associated additional costs are as follows: The existing (original) swing door for the Zamboni access to the ice surface included a sheet of plywood that extended 4 ft above the existing arena boards. Current standards for new arena boards specify 6 ft high glass to extend above the arena boards. With the additional 2 ft in height, the door could not swing properly due to existing building constraints. As such, a lift type gate had to be substituted. Additional Cost ............ ............................... $17,600.00 (excluding HST) 2. The original contract included the removal of the wood floor system and supply of new concrete only in the area of the players' benches. During 73 M & C 2009 — 369 - 2 - November 5, 2009 demolition it became apparent that much of the wood floor system (i.e. beyond the limits of the players' benches) was rotted and weak and should be replaced due to the safety concern associated with leaving it in place. As a result, the deteriorated wood floor was removed and replaced with new concrete on a limited basis. Additional Cost .............. ............................... $4,320.00 (excluding HST) 3. Upon removal of the wood floor system identified in Item 2 above, it became apparent that the wood framework and supporting stricture for the bleachers was deteriorated in localized areas. Considering the safety concern associated with this condition, the wood stricture was replaced in areas where deterioration was extensive. Additional Cost .............. ............................... $1,894.00 (excluding HST) 4. During the removal of the existing arena boards, the Contractor identified steel posts that were not indicated on the original or contract drawings. These steel posts had to be removed to accommodate the installation of the new boards. Additional Cost .............. ............................... $8,750.00 (excluding HST) The unforeseen conditions presented above were reviewed in the field by staff and, for reasons including safety and functionality, specific direction was provided to the Contractor accordingly to correct these items in the best, most cost effective way possible given the existing conditions. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Including the unforeseen costs mentioned above totaling $32,564.00, the final project cost for the arena board replacement at the Peter Murray Arena is $245,177.59. Additional costs for this project will be offset by savings in the Facilities Management Capital Budget for projects already awarded that will cost less than the budgeted amount. 74 M & C 2009 — 369 -3 - November 5, 2009 RECOMMENDATION: Your Acting City Manager recommends that the additional costs for unforeseen items mentioned above totaling $32,564.00 (excluding HST) be approved by Common Council.

These documents formed Highway Usage Permit No. 2008100M43000101 (HUP) with the Department of Transportation (DOT). This agreement was revised at the meeting of Common Council on November 21, 2008 to finalize design amendments. It has always been part of the plan to incorporate lighting of the facility for night usage. However, this was not part of the original design package and was not included in the original permit. The purpose of this report is to approve the addendum to the original permit to allow the inclusion of lighting to the facility. Along with this amendment there is a requirement to provide a $5,000 cash security deposit. The cash security deposit is a normal part of this permit process. Addendum Permit No. 2009110M43000101 is attached for the information of Council. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended; 1. That the attached Addendum Permit No. 2009110M43000101 be added to the original Highway Usage Permit No. 2008100M43000101, and that; 2. The Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to sign same, and that; 3. The sum of $5,000 be paid to the Province of New Brunswick as the required cash security deposit.

A portion of the project requires replacement of a large culvert installed in 1921 that crosses beneath the Westfield Road in the vicinity of the Saint John Marina. A significantly larger culvert will be put in its place. At its meeting of September 14, 2009 Common Council adopted the following resolutions with respect to the creation of easements on two separate properties on the west side of Westfield Rd at this location: That The City of Saint John accept the offer of the Peter J. Claessen Estate and Dorothy L Claessen as set out in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (Agreement) attached to M &C 2009 - 274 & acquire the easement interest in, and through the portion of PID 55025423 described in the Agreement for the sum of $250.00 + HST if applicable, upon the terms and conditions contained in the said Agreement; and 2. That The City of Saint John accept the offer of the Eugene R. Clarice Estate and Eileen M. Clarice set out in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (Agreement) attached to M &C 2009 - 277 & acquire the real property interests in and through the portion of PID 00290205 described in the Report to Common Council Page 2 November 6, 2009 Agreement for the sum of $250.00 + HST if applicable, upon the terms and conditions contained in the said Agreement. Subsequently, it was determined by further survey and title investigation that the City's easement requirements at this location do not extend over both of the properties mentioned in the two above captioned resolutions. The easement requirements are solely in and through the lands of the Eugene R. Clarice Estate and Eileen M. Clarice. Therefore, the acquisition of real property interest in and through the lands of the Peter J. Claessen Estate and Dorothy L Claessen is not required. Staff informed both parties of the situation. Staff has successfully negotiated a new agreement with Eugene R. Clarice Estate and Eileen M. Clarice, subject to Common Council's approval, for the purchase of the easement interest in and through a portion of PID 4 55025423. A copy of the agreement is attached hereto, along with a copy of the sketch prepared by Terrain Group Inc. The negotiated price of $500.00 is a nominal amount voluntarily agreed to by the land owners. Council should rescind the existing resolutions and adopt a new resolution to acquire the real property interest needed on the west side of Westfield Road at this location. RECOMMENDATION: That the resolutions respecting acquisitions from Peter J. Claessen Estate et al. And from Eugene R. Clarke Estate et al. adopted by Common Council at its meeting of September 14, 2009 be rescinded: and, 2. That The City of Saint John accept the offer from Eugene R. Clarke Estate and Eileen M. Clarke as set out in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (Agreement) attached to M &C 2009 — 358 and that the Mayor and Common Clerk execute all necessary documentation.

The Committee considered the attached report at its November 3, 2009 meeting. Mr. David Baker, the applicant, attended the meeting and indicated that he was in agreement with the staff report and its recommendations. He also indicated that he had read the letters received from the neighbours. He was not aware of any problems as there is an existing drain that catches water in the area. The situation would be the same regardless of whether a single or two -unit dwelling is built. Two neighbours appeared before the meeting expressing their concerns: Steve and Cathy Arsenault, of 66 Honeysuckle Drive, and Brian Malone, of 1090 Sand Cove Road. They expressed concerns regarding drainage, the quality of fill, traffic and sight line visibility and whether the building could meet zoning requirements. Mr. Baker stated that he has engaged Fundy Engineering Ltd to investigate both the quality of the soil and drainage matters, but the report is not complete. Mr. Nayan Gandhi responded to questions from the Committee regarding drainage, stating that the property is already a building lot and that the matter before the Committee was whether one or two -units should be built on the site. The Department of Municipal Operations and Engineering will be reviewing the proposal during the building permit process, and they will need evidence demonstrating that it will not result in any adverse drainage conditions elsewhere. No one else appeared before the Committee in respect of the application. Three letters were received from the public, which are attached. After taking into consideration staff s report and the comments made by the applicant and the public, the Committee adopted an amended version of the recommendation in the staff report as follows: 126 -2- RECOMMENDATION: That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 1,800 square metres, located at 1070 Sand Cove Road and a portion of 8 Thistle Street, also identified as being PID No. 55191282 and a portion of 55094833, from "R -1B" One Family Residential to "R -2" One and Two Family Residential. 2. That pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act, the development and use of the parcel of land with an area of approximately 1,800 square metres located at 1070 Sand Cove Road and a portion of 8 Thistle Street, also identified as PID No. 55191282 and a portion of 55094833, be subject to the following conditions: a. The site shall not be developed except in accordance with a detailed site plan, prepared by the Developer and subject to the approval of the Development Officer, indicating the location of all buildings, parking areas, driveways, landscaped areas, municipal easements and other such site features. The site plan must be attached to the application for the required building permit for the proposed development. b. That a detailed drainage plan, prepared by the Developer, is submitted to and approved by the Chief City Engineer or their designate prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. Respectfully submitted, Stephen Horgan Chairman NG Project No. 09 -259 127 DATE: OCTOBER 30, 2009 TO: PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FROM: COMMUNITY PLANNING PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FOR: MEETING OF NOVEMBER 3, 2009 Nayan Gandhi, MCIP, RPP Planner SUBJECT: Name of Applicant: David Baker Name of Owner: Jeffrey Smith and Stephen Green Location: 1070 Sand Cove Road and a portion of 8 Thistle Street PID: 55191282 and a portion of 55094833 Municipal Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: Existing: "R -1B" One Family Residential Proposed: "R -2" One and Two Family Residential Proposal: To constrict a two - family dwelling. Type of Application: Rezoning JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE: The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council concerning proposed rezoning applications. The Committee's recommendation will be considered by Common Council at a Public Hearing on Monday, November 9, 2009. 128 Mr. David Balser 107 Sand Cove Road and 8 Thistle Street STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE: Page 2 October 30, 2009 That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 1,800 square metres, located at 1070 Sand Cove Road and a portion of 8 Thistle Street, also identified as being PID No. 55191282 and a portion of 55094833, from "R -1B" One Family Residential to "R -2" One and Two Family Residential. 2. That pursuant to Section 39 of the Community Planning Act, the development and use of the parcel of land with an area of approximately 1,800 square metres located at 1070 Sand Cove Road and a portion of 8 Thistle Street, also identified at PID No. 55191282 and a portion of 55094833, be subject to the following conditions: a. The site shall not be developed except in accordance with a detailed site plan, prepared by the Developer and subject to the approval of the Development Officer, indicating the location of all buildings, parking areas, driveways, landscaped areas, municipal easements and other such site features. The site plan must be attached to the application for the required building permit for the proposed development. BACKGROUND The property at 1070 Sand Cove Road was created when the rear part of 12 Thistle Street, which then extended to Sand Cove Road in a similar fashion to 16 Thistle Street, was subdivided in May 2008 to allow for residential development. At the time, the Department of Municipal Operations and Engineering raised concern regarding potential drainage issues; however, it was acknowledged that these would need to be addressed when development is proposed on the lot. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Municipal Operations and Engineering has the following comments: • Municipal servicing is available. Each unit must have separate water, sanitary and storm services; • The applicant's contractor must verify gravity connections; • Due to the topography of the site, it is imperative that proper site grading and storm water management is done. The owner must ensure no adverse affects to adjacent lands as a result of this development. Buildings and Inspection Services has no objection to the proposal. Saint John Fire Department has no objection to this application provided that the guidelines for such properties outlined in the National Fire and Building Codes are adhered to. Saint John Energy has overhead facilities on Sand Cove Road to service the proposed two family dwelling. The cost for relocating or extending facilities will be dealt with the developer at a later date. Aliant has been advised of this application. Rogers has been advised of this application. 129 Mr. David Balser 107 Sand Cove Road and 8 Thistle Street Page 3 October 30, 2009 Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline has indicated that the proposal will not affect its infrastructure. ANALYSIS- Site and Surroundings The subject site is located directly off Sand Cove Road in West Saint John (see location map). It is composed of a vacant, relatively rectangular, lot at 1070 Sand Cove Road at an angle to the road and a triangular portion of the rear yard of 8 Thistle Street. It is primarily comprised of recently - dumped fill at the part of the site where the building is proposed and scrubland elsewhere on the property. There is a significant slope downwards towards the northern -end of the property (i.e. Thistle Street), measuring approximately 7 metres. This area of Sand Cove Road contains a mix of dwellings. The area around the property along this street is zoned "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential and contains a number of two - storey dwellings. There is a newer subdivision, Meadowlands Estates, located at the northern end of the property, of which some of the subject site is a part. This is zoned "R -113" One Family Residential and contains single and two storey single - family dwellings. A number of garden homes are located at the end of Thistle Street. This area is substantially lower than the dwellings built along Sand Cove Road. Staff noted that there is a drain located between the rear of 8 Thistle Street and 70 Honeysuckle Drive, which currently assists in draining the subject property and other nearby properties to avoid flooding issues with properties along Thistle Street and Honeysuckle Drive. This forms part of the easement shown on the submitted site plan. In the wider area, there are a number of apartments and other residential subdivisions. The nearest services are located along Fairville Boulevard, and it also is a major employment area. Proposal The applicant is proposing to develop a single storey duplex dwelling on the combined property (see enclosed plans). He intends to live in one of the units, and his mother will live in the other. Municipal Plait Direction The subject site and surrounding area are designated Low Density Residential by the Municipal Plan. The Plan's policies for low density residential areas provide for a wide range of housing, including one and two - family dwellings. The proposed rezoning is therefore consistent with the Municipal Plan. Proposed Rezoning The applicant proposes to create a two - family dwelling fronting onto Sand Cove Road. The proposed rezoning to enable this is consistent with the residential zoning of the neighbouring properties, which are zoned as "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential along this part of the road. The proposed location of the building appears to meet all Zoning By -law requirements. However, the site plan submitted does not accurately show the building's foot print in accordance with the elevations and floor 130 Mr. David Balser 107 Sand Cove Road and 8 Thistle Street Page 4 October 30, 2009 plans. As such, the applicant should be required to submit a revised site plan for Development Officer approval. Given that the lot already allows for a single residential property, the intensification of the use will maximise under - utilised land within the developed area, consistent with the policy guidance provided by the Municipal Plan. Sand Cove Road is a designated a Collector Street in the Municipal Plan. Saint John Transit provides weekday rush period transit services in the area along Sand Cove Road, which enables potential residents to travel by sustainable modes of transport, at least during the rush period. The proposed rezoning is therefore supported. Concern was previously raised regarding site drainage, given the slope of the property. The applicant will be required to ensure that drainage will be adequately addressed and no result in increased flows to neighbouring properties. Municipal Operations and Engineering has indicated that this can be addressed during the Building Permit stage. However, a site plan should be submitted indicating how the site will be laid out to assist in assessing the affect on drainage. CONCLUSION: The proposal seeks to intensify a single - family residential lot. The proposal meets the requirements of the Zoning By -law, and also seeks to maximise the use of urban land.

Box 1971 Saint John, NB E21- 4L1 This is to raise our concerns re the above rezoning, Danny and Sharon Wright ' 1028 Sand Cove Road lii age 1p Our biggest concern would be the drainage. There is nothing in this proposal indicating in detail how this would be addressed. It is mentioned in the report that the garden homes on Thistle Street are substantially lower than Sand Cove Road however there are drainage and flooding issues there. We believe this should be dealt with before any rezoning so we don't have another area of homes that flood when it rains. 137 Planning Advisory Committee City of Saint Jolui Planning And Development wetter. The city of Saint John will be held responsible for any change on my property. Having lived at the present property since 1991 any changes to my property below the back -filled area will very quickly be noticed.

PROPOSED NEW CONSTRUCTION ON 1070 SAND COVE ROAD Phone: 5064674-2981 Fax #, 506-633-0251 We reside at 70 Honeysu&e Drive and are writing to express our concerns regarding the application to rezone the lot on 1070 $and Cove Road which, if approved, would see a new duplex being built directly behind us. Our concerns are as follows. A large amount of fill Is being durnped now for this proposed new construction changing the slope/grade of the above property and disturbing the natural gully/ditch that's been there since or before 199'1. How much run off will we receive? How will additlonaV water flow or change in water flow be dealt with? What is the city going to do to protect our property from water damage? We already get significant run-off from the above land off of Sand Cove Road, Our back yard gets water logged and very soggy during and after a rainfall, In fact the corner of our lot is right beside the city's existing municipal services easement where you have two drains (top and bottom) installed now into which water flows nonstop. For the record we would like to note that on October 24ffi, 2009 Saint John had one of its worst rainfall amounts recorded and we had no basement leaks or water problems on our property, Once this new building is built we will be monitoring the water flow so if in the future we have a water problem we will know it's because of the changes to the above grades done for this new building and will be contacting our lawyers accordingly. We would appreciate a timely response to our concerns not only from council, but also frorn the Department of Municipal Operations and Engineering and the property owner, as to what specifically will be done to protect our home from water damage If council goes ahead and approves this application. 139 Application for a Zoning By -law Amendment Demande de modification h Parreti sur le. zonage Applicant Related Information / Ren mJ,1 seigne (ents sur le demandeur r Name of Applicm 1 Nom du demandeur ) � +�` P, ,J / .- I 1 I I i Mailing Address of applicant / Addresm postale du demmxWr % ; � � y 4� Postal Code / Code postal vt- j y 1 Telephone Number / Numro de tAlphone 6 09 S �- Home / Domicile to 5"q - (9 6 L 3 work / Travail 615-- AP 2 Fax Number / Num&o de tdldcopieur — �(�� •L Name of Property Owner (if different) / Nom du propri6taire (sa diff6=) Address / Adresse Postal Code / Code postal Property Information / Renseipements sur la proprijtj Location/ Empiaoement —_ `° _ 16 , -) 0, %-mc w i r o ae voume Street / Rue PID / NIP Lot Area / SuperScie du lot 0 Street Frontage / Fagade sur rue 01 t Existing Use of Property / Utilisation actuelle de la propridtj - J 17 i G l c'i--f% Municipal Plan land Use Designation Ddsignatiou de utilization des tenet sur le plan municipal Amendment Requested / Modification demandce Present Zoning / Zonage actm] Cbange Zoning to / Modification du zonage J (� kI- and/or / ou ❑ Text Amendment (indicate particulars) / Modification due texte (indiquez les ddtails) �rl� 140 Development Proposal / Proposition d'aminagement Description of Proposal / Description de la proposition , -"�k e-. e';�' " d- [�"- I ti Cw� -,2: 2 , I You must provide a scaled site plan that illustrates your proposal.

The Committee considered the attached report at its November 3, 2009 meeting. Mr. Sheppard, the applicant, appeared to speak in favour of the application and indicated that he was in agreement with the recommendations set out in the attached report. No one appeared to speak in opposition to the application; however, the attached letter of concern was received. After considering the attached report, the applicant's presentation and the concerns expressed in the attached letter, the Committee give approval subject to a Section 39 condition limiting the use to three units. The Planning Advisory Committee also approved a variance to reduce the minimum side yard setback from 1.8 metres to 1.5 metres. RECOMMENDATION: That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 910 square metres located at 986 Manawagonish Road, also identified as PID Number 00447052, from "R -2" One and Two Family Residential to "R -4" Four Family Residential. 2.

Respectfully submitted, Stephen Horgan Chairman JK Project No. 09 -377 148 DATE: OCTOBER 30, 2009 TO: PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FROM: COMMUNITY PLANNING PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FOR: MEETING OF NOVEMBER 3, 2009 SUBJECT: Name of Applicant: Name of Owner: Location: PID: Jody Kliffer Planner Jeffery Sheppard Jeffery Sheppard 986 Manawagonish Road 00447052 Municipal Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: Existing: "R -2" One and Two Family Residential Proposed: "R -4" Four Family Residential Proposal: To constrict a third rental unit in the attic of the existing dwelling. Type of Application: Rezoning and Variance to reduce the minimum side yard setback from 1.8 metres to 1.5 metres. JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE: The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council concerning proposed rezoning applications. The Committee's recommendation will be considered by Common Council at a Public Hearing on Monday, November 9, 2009. 149 Jeffen- Sheppard 986 ManaN agonish Road Page 2 October 30, 2009 The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to grant reasonable variances from the requirements of the Zoning By -law. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE: 1. That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 910 square metres located at 986 Manawagonish Road, also identified as PID Number 00447052, from "R -2" One and Two Family Residential to "R -4" Four Family Residential. 2. That the Planning Advisory Committee approve the requested variance to reduce the minimum side yard setback from 1.8 metres to 1.5 metres. BACKGROUND: On October 25, 2004, the Common Council considered a rezoning application for the property located at 986 Manawagonish Road (otherwise identified as PID number 447052). The applicant, Ms. Mary- Eileen Flanagan, was seeking a rezoning from "R -2" One and Two Family Residential to "B -1" Local Business in order to facilitate the establishment and operation of a lawyer's office in the basement of a two -unit rental dwelling at the subject property. The applicant indicated that the purchase of the property was contingent on several building code violations being rectified. Council endorsed the various Section 39 conditions recommended by the Planning Advisory Committee, and resolved to not offer a third reading of the re- zoning application until such a time as confirmation was received that all Building Code and Minimum Standard By -law violations of the subject property were resolved to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshal. The applicant later decided against purchasing the property; hence, the re- zoning was not granted. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Municipal Operations and Engineering has the following comments on the proposed rezoning: The proposed stairwell distance from the side property line should be verified. It does not seem that this distance is possible. This should be verified by Planning and /or Building Inspection. • It is assumed from the applicant that servicing will remain the same. • It is assumed from the application that the driveway location will remain the same. Buildings and Inspection Services indicated that the proposal will require that portions of the building be upgraded to meet Building Code standards. Furthermore, Building Inspection found the exterior exit of particular concern. That is, there is no indication as to whether the exterior exit serves more than one unit or if the proposed third floor unit has more than one exit available. Building Inspection reports that Section 9.9.4.4. of the Code requires that an exterior stairway, if it is the only means of exit from a unit, be protected from exterior openings in other fire compartments. Doing 150 Jeffen- Sheppard 986 Manawmgonish Road Page 3 October 30, 2009 so may impact the usability of spaces in the other units. However, this area of concern will be addressed during the process of issuing a building permit. Saint John Fire Department has no objection to this application, provided that the following conditions are adhered to: • Current building and fire code violations (if any exist) are corrected as part of the renovations. Appropriate building permits are required for the proposed work and that the renovations are carried out in accordance with the National Building and Fire Codes including but not limited to: o Exit from the top floor meet National Building Code specifications in Section 3 of Code. Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline indicates that the property is clear of any pipelines. ANALYSIS- Site and Neighbourhood The subject site is located on Manawagonish Road, approximately 180 metres (600 feet) east of Purdy's Corner. The site has a frontage of approximately 18 metres (60 feet) and an area of approximately 900 square metres (9,689 square feet) that is currently host to a two -unit rental dwelling. This section of Manawagonish Road is an attractive, stable residential neighbourhood characterized by large older homes on well - landscaped lots, with mature trees lining the street between the traffic lanes and the City sidewalks. There is a 2'/2-storey older two - family dwelling on the lot with a detached two -car garage to the rear. A paved driveway leads from the street to the garage and to a large paved parking area, located behind the house. Proposal The applicant is proposing to renovate the existing building on the subject site to incorporate a third rental unit into the current attic space. The proposed unit will be a one - bedroom apartment that will be independently- accessed by an exterior stairwell. The additional unit will require the subject property to be rezoned from "R -2" One and Two Family Residential to "R -4" Four Family Residential. Assessment The 4.9 by 1.8 metre (16 by 6 foot) stairwell will be built on the eastern side of the existing dwelling to grant direct outside access to the proposed rental unit (see attached site plans). As requested by Municipal Operations, Staff measured the distance from the house to the approximate property line of the adjacent property at 982 Manawagonish Road to confirm the nature of the variance required. It was found that the constriction of the proposed stairwell will require a variance to the minimum side yard setback from 1.8 metres (5.9 feet) to approximately 1.5 metres (4.9 feet). Although the stairwell will be 151 Jeffen- Sheppard 986 Manawmgonish Road Page 4 October 30, 2009 relatively close to the property line, the neighbouring dwelling at 982 Manawagonish Road is approximately 4.5 metres (14.8 feet) from the abutting property line. As such, a variance to the minimum side yard setback from 1.8 metres (5.9 feet) to approximately 1.5 metres (4.9 feet) can be supported. No new space will be added to the existing dwelling through the renovation process. The proposed stairwell addition to the eastern side of the dwelling will be the only exterior indication of the proposed third unit. With a two -car garage and a large paved surface in the rear yard of the subject property, ample space is available to meet the required four parking spaces for a three -unit dwelling as indicated by the By -law. There are very few examples of existing "R -4" Four Family Residential zones that currently exist along Manawagonish Road. A GIS study along the section of Manawagonish Road between Manchester Avenue and O'Brien Street that contains the subject property shows that there are approximately six dwellings in this area with three or four rental units. The "R -2" One and Two Family Residential zoning for this area does not match the number of units that exist in these dwellings; however, it does suggest that a slight increase in residential density in the neighbourhood lining Manawagonish Road can be supported.

Funds were approved by Council as part of the 2009 budget to add staff resources to create the capacity to do policy planning work including the Municipal Plan. On September 7th 2009, Council selected Urban Strategies in partnership with ADI Limited as the lead consultant for the Growth Management Strategy and the Municipal Plan. Council also approved a consulting contract with Urban Strategies and ADI to advance the development of a work plan and public engagement strategy to support delivery of the municipal plan. Over the course of the last two months, City Planning staff have worked collaboratively with the consulting team to develop a recommended work plan for the Municipal Plan and the associated Growth Strategy. The attached project charter document represents the proposed process for moving forward with the Municipal Plan and provides the basis for the contract with the consultant team. The project charter was informed by a number of valuable inputs: meetings with Department heads and the Acting City Manager and Deputy City Manager, a workshop with Planning staff, review by an interdepartmental steering committee and input from individual members of Common Council including the Mayor. What is a Municipal Plan? A Municipal Plan is a legal document that will be adopted by the City of Saint John and approved by the Province. It describes a long term development vision for the City and identifies where and how people will live, work and play. The new Municipal Plan will provide a policy framework that will guide the physical development of Saint John over a 25 year period while taking into consideration important social, economic and environmental issues and objectives. It will include a set of land use maps, as well as policy statements on topic areas mandated by Provincial legislation, Saint John Common Council, and identified by residents of I.• 2 Saint John through community engagement. The current Municipal Plan was adopted by Common Council in 1973, and although it has been the subject of many amendments, this will be the first time the Plan has been comprehensively renewed and updated in more than 35 years. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to recommend the work plan, public engagement program and related financial proposal for undertaking the new Saint John Growth Management Strategy and Municipal Plan. ANALYSIS Highlights of the Municipal Plan Process The Municipal Plan will be produced in two integrated phases over the course of the next two years instead of the three year process initially envisioned by staff Phase 1 is the preparation of a Growth Management Strategy. It will include studies of population, housing, employment, the economy, forecast growth, related housing, commercial and industrial land use needs, and options for where and how to accommodate these different land uses and growth over time. Phase 2 will build directly on the outcome of Phase 1, and result in the adoption of a new Municipal Plan by the end of 2011. During this phase, issues and directions identified through research and community engagement in Phase 1 will be translated into an implementable policy framework. The following key principles will guide the municipal plan process: • C71'eate a Culture Of Iyltegl'ated Playlylyylg yyl the C.'OIp()1'atiovi ayld C'OJii1iiiiviity • Place the Municipal Plays into the C'ity's Hierarchy q/'Plans • Engage Fully irith the ,Saint John Community in the ,Stage by ,Stage Development Of the Plays • Forge Community Partnerships • Adapt Leading Edge Best Practices • IYICOI p()1'ate Effective Implementation and Monitoring ring Techy iques The process will unfold over the course of the next two years starting with a public launch in January 2010 and building to the delivery of a Growth Management Strategy to Council by the end of 2010 followed up by Council's adoption of a Municipal Plan by late 2011. The process will unfold in six stages as follows: 1. Public Launch 2. Defining Issues and Opportunities 3. Setting the Direction — Options for Growth 4. Plan for Growth and Change 5. Draft Municipal Plan 6. Municipal Plan Adoption. 170 3 Alignment with Council Priorities In September of 2008 Common Council identified a series of Goals and Priorities that it wished to focus on during its four year mandate. These were further refined and updated in 2009. Council's priorities reflect the importance being placed on the Municipal Plan as a strategic document that will both embed its community vision and sustainability plan and guide the delivery of municipal services and programs. Council has committed to allocating the resources necessary to develop a comprehensive municipal plan by 2012. Council intentions for the municipal plan process include: • Provision of significant opportunities for public engagement which reaches out to all stakeholders; • incorporation of proven best practices for urban policy and being a leader and an innovator; • consideration of climate change, peak oil and other environmental factors including the implication of developing in floodplains; and • consideration of a broad range of community based issues including mixed use affordable housing, density, green space, culture and inclusion of individuals with special needs. Council has also highlighted the need for the coordination of planning and development with investment in municipal facilities and infrastructure and has asked that the growth strategy consider opportunities for infill development in existing serviced areas and priority neighbourhoods as well as the development of a mixed use housing strategy. The proposed work plan builds on Council priorities in the approach and guiding principles, and allocates significant focus and resources to technical studies and public engagement relating to these areas. The process is designed to position Council as a leader in this process, with Council endorsement sou. ht at key milestone stages to ensure the project aligns with priorities of Council. The Public Engagement Strategy The recommended public engagement program significantly surpasses the participation requirements of the Community Planning Act and provides a program of community involvement which will build public buy -in to ensure this is a "made in Saint John" Plan. The program is designed around the following goals: • Providing many opportunities for meaningful community involvement throughout the Plan preparation process and enabling people who cannot attend public workshops to provide comment through other mechanisms. • Reaching out to broad and diverse communities of interest. • Capturing people's interest and inspiring them about the future of their City. • Allowing flexibility in the design of the process, to incorporate ongoing feedback on preferred or alternative methods of consultation. The process will be championed by a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) representing a broad range of community perspectives and communities of interest. The purpose of the CAC is to advise Common Council on the development of the Plan, act as a community sounding board, advise the project team and Council on community -based issues, and serve as ambassadors within the community to actively promote public involvement in the planning process. 171 Approval to recruit members for this Committee is being sought at this time. It is recommended that two members of Common Council be named to this Committee to ensure that there is a direct connection between citizens and elected officials in the development of the Plan. It is also recommended that Council seek a nominee from the Planning Advisory Committee to serve on the CAC. Finally, it is recommended that the City proceed to recruit 10 citizen members to serve on the Committee. The public engagement process is designed around building public awareness and understanding of the municipal plan and related issues with a high profile public launch to kick off the process. In total, the program includes 11 key engagement opportunities, six of which are broad public events. The major public events will be designed as highly interactive workshops allowing for the widest possible dialogue on issues and geared towards building community based solutions. Resource Requirements This project is a major undertaking for the City which will require significant staff and budgetary resources over the course of the next two years. This project will create in -house skills and capacity that will allow our own planning staff to assume a key role in delivering the next stage of planning including the zoning framework and delivery of the neighbourhood plans. The project will also create a legacy of baseline research and data which can better support Council decisions in the areas of land use planning, infrastructure maintenance and development, and the delivery of other municipal services. The 2010 budget submission from the Planning and Development Department requests the funds necessary to support the resourcing requirements for the Municipal Plan and Growth Strategy identified in the attached Project Charter including: 1. The funds required to execute the financial contract with the lead consultant USI and their sub - consultant ADI to deliver the Municipal Plan and Growth Strategy and related public engagement program; 2. Incidental expenses outside the consulting contract that will be borne by the City including the development of a unique project identity, advertising for public meetings and venue rental, newsletter distribution, translation services, staff training, communications & website updating, costs related to the operation of the committees, and a range of other incidental costs. City staff and the consulting team have identified three other public engagement tools that could be included to further enhance the City's relationship with citizens in the development of the Plan as follows: • A project storefront to enhance the visibility and accessibility of the project to citizens (at a cost of $90,000 spread over two years); • Targeted youth engagement to ensure this plan reflects the aspirations of the next generation of Saint Johners (at a cost of $20,000 in 2010); and • An ideas and opportunities video to reach out to a wider audience and strengthen public awareness of the Plan (at a cost of $40,000 in 2010). The total cost to the City to add this suite of additional public engagement tools is $150,000 which would be split over two budget years as indicated. Given the significant number of years that have passed since Saint John has last prepared a new municipal plan; and given that a few specific issues have been the subject of significant 172 6 community discussion in recent years, the consulting team has also identified a need to consider preparing enhanced studies in the following areas: • Housing • Transportation • Environment • Energy Hub /Heavy Industrial Development • The Cost of Servicing Residential Development Staff have not identified funding for these enhanced studies at this time and staff are not seeking the approval of Council for the allocation of funds. Instead, staff intend to aggressively seek opportunities for funding from external agencies to pursue the development of these studies and will report back to Common Council in the near future. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Staff and the consulting team have been challenged to design a process to develop the Growth Management Strategy and Municipal Plan that is consistent with Council's stated priorities, provides significantly enhanced public engagement, while also including the immense amount of technical research required to support the development of a fiiture land use map and municipal plan policy. The nearly 40 years that have passed since the preparation of the last Municipal Plan has left the planning team with virtually no current information to support the development of the Plan. As a result, more than $200,000 has had to be allocated to the preparation of the technical information required by the Community Planning Act. The lack of technical information has increased the cost of the project and staff are therefore recommending that a contract be executed with Urban Strategies identifying a maximum upset price of $ 658,371 over two years for the delivery of the Growth Management Strategy and Municipal Plan. The Planning and Development Department's 2010 budget submission is adequate to cover this expense. Recognizing the fiscal challenges being faced by the City in particular for this upcoming budget year, staff have removed three components of the public engagement program from the work plan and have identified them as options which can be collectively or individually considered by Council. If Council sees value in the inclusion of a dedicated project storefront, targeted youth engagement, and the production of a video, an additional budget allocation of $150,000 over two years would be required. The budget allocation for the recommended consultant contract will be funded in the 2010 and 2011 budget. Staff have created a cost centre specifically to track expenses related to the municipal plan to improve accountability and tracking of municipal plan costs over the course of the project. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Common Council: 1. Approve the Project Charter for the City of Saint John Growth Management Strategy and Municipal Plan and authorize the Mayor and Common Clerk to execute a contract with Urban Strategies in partnership with ADI Limited that embodies the terms of the Project 173 M Charter for an amount that shall not exceed $658,371 plus HST subject to the review of the City Solicitor. 2. Approve the creation of a Citizen's Advisory Committee for the Municipal Plan and direct Planning staff to launch a recruitment effort for 10 citizen members of the Committee and refer a list of candidates to the Nominating Committee. 3. Request that the Planning Advisory Committee identify one of its members to sit on the Citizen's Advisory Committee for the Municipal Plan and refer this name to the Nominating Committee. 4. Refer the appointment of two members of Common Council to the Citizen's Advisory Committee for the Municipal Plan to the Nominating Committee. 5. Approve additional funding of $150,000 ($110,000 in 2010 and $40,000 in 2011) to support delivery of the enhanced public engagement program including a project storefront, youth engagement program and a project video.

It describes a long term development vision for the City and identifies where and how people will live, work and play. The new Municipal Plan will provide a policy framework that will guide the physical development of Saint John over a 25 year period while taking into consideration important social, economic and environmental issues and objectives. It will include a set of land use maps, as well as policy statements on topic areas mandated by Provincial legislation, Saint John Common Council, and identified by citizens of Saint John through extensive community engagement. The current Municipal Plan was adopted by Common Council in 1973, and although it has been the subject of many amendments, this will be the first time the Plan has been comprehensively renewed and updated in more than 35 years. The Municipal Plan will be produced in three integrated phases. Phase 1, which involved establishingthe Work Plan for the project and developing this Project Charter, is now complete. Phase 2 involves preparation of a comprehensive Growth Management Plan. It will include studies of population, housing, employment, the economy, forecast growth, related housing, commercial and industrial land use needs, and options for where and how to accommodate these different land uses and growth over time. Phase 3 will build directly on the outcome of Phase 2, and result in the preparation of a new Municipal Plan. Duringthis phase, issues and directions identified through research and community engagement in Phase 2 will be translated into an implementable policy framework. 4 RrihncipIles for Lhe MwnicipaIl IRI in Preparablan Process The Project Team, which comprises both the Consultant Team and City Team, pledges to abide by the following principles while preparingthe Municipal Plan: Create a Culture of Integrated Planning in the Corporation and Community The preparation of the Growth Plan and Municipal Plan will be a fully collaborative effort between City Staff and the Consultant Team. The project process will be carried out in a manner that creates an understanding of the ongoing value of community planning in Saint John. In so doing, the City's planning department will develop the capacity and skills necessary to carry out the Municipal Plan and to continue with future initiatives that will arise from the adoption of the Plan. Place the Municipal Plan into the City's Emerging Hierarchy of Plans The Municipal Plan will build upon and integrate with The Community Vision, the Strategic Plan, the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) and other City initiatives to create an ongoing culture of integrated planning in all City departments, at all levels. It will set a solid foundation from which Neighbourhood Plans and other City Planning efforts will flow, such as an integrated Transportation Master Plan, Recreation and Leisure Master Plan, and a Comprehensive Housing Strategy. Engage Fully with the Saint John Community in the Stage by Stage Development of the Plan Saint John citizens will be invited and welcomed into an inclusive process of full community participation in preparingthe Growth and Municipal Plans. The Project Team will secure community and Common Council endorsement at key milestones in the process to ensure that the Growth Plan and Municipal Plan not only accurately reflect current community values and aspirations, but also provide effective direction for the evolution of the City over time. Additionally, this staged process will enable more immediate direction to Council on land use matters that may arise prior to the formal adoption of the Municipal Plan. Forge Community Partnerships The preparation of the Growth Plan and Municipal Plan affords the City an excellent opportunity to continue to build its many partnerships with the community by actively engaging citizens, land and business owners, major institutions, agencies and interest groups in the development of the Plan, and ultimately, in its implementation. The wide variety of ways in which partners can engage in the process of preparingthe Plan are summarized in Section 3 of this document. Adopt Leading Edge Best Practices The City of Saint John aspires to become a bold and innovative leader in City planning. The Municipal Plan will fully address substantive issues in the community, including: effects of climate change (e.g. flooding), rural residential development, housing needs, future industrial growth, intensification and infill of established neighbourhoods, and efficient use of municipal infrastructure and expenditure. Incorporate Effective Implementation and Monitoring Techniques The Project Team is committed to producing Municipal Plan with clearly identified, prioritized and implementable actions. The process and resultant Plan will include mechanisms and tools to measure the success of plan policies and proposals over time - such as a review of the Plan every 5 to 10 years as determined by Council. It will support a commitment by staff and Council to review policies and proposals that do not meet the City's needs, in an effort to reflect changing priorities over the full lifecycle of the Plan. 0 RTIC11111:: "III III M4 & G11:10W 11 1111 111 "'z "'II II A 11 11 GY 5 181 182 g/l/Oz, ors has a v shj'pis, has 183 V II Illr�� III�I� � Illr�� Illy IIII IIII r °° ari WII � I U Illrl IIII Rlrk"Yln IIII In September of 2008 Common Council identified a series of Goals and Priorities that it wished to focus on during its four year mandate.

The proposed Work Plan builds on Council priorities in the fundamental approach and guiding principles, and allocates significant focus and resources to technical studies and public engagement relating to Council priorities. The process is designed to position Council as a leader in developing the Plan, with Council endorsement sought at key milestones to ensure the project recommendations align with the priorities of Council. 8 185 IIIm U rl II III l IIIm eri Strate& m Ipr III u°i live pubhlc Eri ag m r A Lh L Lhe Growbh arid wn li li 1p Il IRI u°i are grourided i in Lhe aspiraboris of Lh mm u u°i fty Lhere exisLs muftiLude of Ipli in li u°i arid, seem li ngIly aL fli r L, III li h Ily :::::In gage Im e In L .: Ura Leg y li L Is aWays Ip Ii II Lo show L III III II r Lh L Lh li r hnLeresLs are more II IIy ahigried Lhari Lh y u eahiz , Everyorie cari agree LhaL Lhe creabori of deveIlopmerA opporLurifties i Lh li In 9 , ID f li u°i li ing how we g L Lhere requires um ove everyorie Lowards coriserisus ..F III ey are veiny Ihi hl ly regarded for Lheir lilhity L life, with Lhe res a lft beirig Lh L Lhe wide report Lh L Lh y feeIl Lh y are heard 10 C11 11 Y 011:,,. a:'aAIIP ^JI II J011 14 186 The Engagement Strategy begins with one -on -one, conversations, and then, over the course of the consultation process, expands the size of audience with whom the Project Team meets to ultimately arrive at broad community -wide support prior to the Public Hearing. The Community Engagement events described below are designed to engage City staff, landowners, the businesses and development community, community organizations and the general public at all stages in the process. The results of consultation events will be compiled, organized and incorporated into feedback documents and PowerPoint presentations to be presented back to participants to ensure that their input has been received accurately and has been effectively incorporated into the emerging Growth Plan and Municipal Plan. In this manner, broad consensus on both documents will be achieved within the project timeframe, setting an essential foundation of support for the Municipal Plan to proceed through the approvals process. The Engagement Strategy is deeply embedded into the Work Plan so that deliverables support consultation, which in turn, drives decision - making. The process also ensures that the public, supporting agencies, and other stakeholders are informed of progress in a timely manner and that the planning process is transparent and accountable. Eri a g ire it A GoaIls The broad goals of the Engagement Strategy for developing the Saint John Growth and Municipal Plans are to: • Provide many opportunities for meaningful community involvement through -out the Plan preparation process. • Clearly set out goals and objectives for the consultation process for each phase of work so that Saint John citizens understand how they can participate and how their input will be incorporated into the overall project. • Offer multiple methods of participation, enabling people who do not want to, or cannot, attend public Workshops or Open Houses to provide comment through other mechanisms. • Engage a range of stakeholders through creative and accessible communication tools, including but not limited to such options as video, photography, and travelling exhibitions to capture people's interest and inspire them about the future of their City. • Allow flexibility in the design of the process to incorporate ongoing feedback on preferred or alternative methods of consultation. • Be clear about the constraints that the process must operate within, particularly if this limits the nature of input that can be incorporated. 187 Eire ag ire it A Scope The proposed community Engagement Strategy includes the following consultation events. These are each described further later in this section: • Interviews with key stakeholders. • An exciting public project launch (a fully public event). • A Workshop to define Principles and Opportunities (a fully public event). • A Workshop to define Directions for the Growth Plan (a fully public event). • Community Open Houses (two separate and fully public events). • A series of Focus group sessions with specific interest groups to get targeted feedback as the project progresses. • The Public Hearing of Objections (a fully public event). Two committees have been assembled specifically to inform the development of the Growth and Municipal Plans throughout the process: the Steering Committee and the Citizen's Advisory Committee. Their roles are expanded upon below and their terms of reference can be found in the Appendix. Additionally, the City's existing Planning Advisory Committee will be involved at key project milestones. As outlined above, a primary engagement objective is for Saint John Planning Staff to be actively and regularly engaged in the process of developing the Growth and Municipal Plans and that Common Council as a whole be actively involved in both guiding the Plan and presenting it to the Saint John community at key milestones. The table below identifies the groups to be engaged and the objective of their involvement.

Meetings expected to be one - on -one or in small groups. Milestone meetings with the Deputy Minister of Environment. The Project Team intends to provide targeted opportunities for groups and individuals with special needs (including but not limited to persons whose first language is not English, persons with disabilities and other special needs) to become engaged in the process of preparingthe Municipal Plan. * This element of engagement is currently included as an additional item to the Work Plan. Refer to Section 10: Additional Items for more information. WllPTIICIIII' %11 II 11 M4 & G1110W11I II°II II a' 11 :1A 11 II GY 13 I:• The Work Program that has been identified for preparation of the Growth and Municipal Plans includes a customized public Engagement Strategy with eleven parts, described below. Of the eleven events, six are fully public allowing all interested citizens to participate; two are targeted towards identified stakeholders, and three events follow statutory requirements. This Engagement Strategy will be complemented by an equally extensive Communications Strategy, described in the next Section. Part One: Public Project Launch The Project Team envisions an exciting public launch for the project. The launch is expected to include a Speakers Series that invites both Saint John experts and experts "from away" to help the community envision its future. This will be followed by a meet and greet session where the public will be invited to talk with the Project Team, view materials introducing the Growth and Municipal Plans process, offer their opinions and insights and take part in interactive activities intended to establish important inputs for the Growth and Municipal Plans. Part Two: Stakeholder Interviews /Focus Groups At the outset of the project the Project Team will complete interviews with a full range of Saint John's stakeholders and interest groups. These interviews will provide the Project Team with an invaluable introduction to the issues and opportunities that need to be considered in the Growth and Municipal Plans and will provide key Saint John citizens the chance to be involved in setting the agenda for the Plan. The individuals and groups interviewed at this stage will be asked to become part of the 14 C11 11 Y 0111 "a'aAIIP ^Jl if aJ0I1 14 190 Community Resource Group, to be called upon to participate in all other key engagement events and to encourage their colleagues, neighbours and associates to do the same. Part Three: Principles and Opportunities Workshop This Public Workshop event will take place during the background research stage of the Growth and Municipal Plans process. It will be a highly interactive event where participants have the opportunity to discuss the variety of themes to be addressed in the Plan and to help define the principles that will guide it. The timing of this event will also allow participants to understand the issues and opportunities beginning to be defined through the background research during a kick -off presentation to be prepared by the Project Team that will frame the discussion topics for the day. Key objectives for the workshop will be to define the principles to guide the Plan, have the participants help refine and advance the way the issues and opportunities are being defined in the background research, and begin to explore how the various issues and opportunities connect with and impact each other and relate to the principles that have been defined. Part Four: Directions Workshop for the Growth Plan Options The Directions Workshop will be another highly interactive event where members of the public will be asked to help the Project Team define the elements to be included in different options to direct Saint John's potential growth and change. The workshop will begin with presentations by the Project Team and potentially additional experts to build from the work completed at the first Workshop, elaborate on the issues and opportunities being addressed by the Plan and set the context for work to be completed by workshop participants as they begin to establish the directions for the options for growth and change. Part Five: Community Open House - Review of Growth Plan Options Once the options for growth and change have been prepared and a preliminary technical evaluation of them completed by the Project Team, the public will be invited to provide their reactions to the options and to expand upon the preliminary evaluation in an interactive Open House. The input received at the Open House will provide the Project Team with the information it requires to complete the evaluation and recommend a final Plan for growth and change. One example of an interactive exercise that could be used during this Open House is an activity that allows residents to select and rank their preferred options for growth. Supported by information panels that illustrate potential growth management scenarios and impacts (e.g. greenhouse gases produced, transit service, jobs created, etc.), residents would select their preferred overall option while also identifying elements of the options that they value most. A focus group session will also be held on the topic with major landowners and employers (e.g. including major landowners and employers, the development industry (including Irving Oil and JD Irving Ltd), Port Authority, UNB, the hospital etc.). Part Six: Community Open House - Review of Recommended Growth Plan Once the Recommended Growth Plan is ready the public will be invited to provide its views at an interactive Open House. This will provide critical input to Common Council before it is asked to formally endorse the Plan for Growth and Change. At this Open House the Project Team will also present its early thinking on how the Municipal Plan would be structured to implement the provisions of the Plan for Growth and Change. Part Seven: Council Endorsement of Growth Plan Endorsement of the Growth Plan will be sought from Council at a regular meeting of Common Council. in Part Eight: Focus Group Sessions Once the Growth Plan has been endorsed by Council, focus group sessions will be convened to discuss the structure and direction for the Municipal Plan. One of the focus groups will be comprised of representatives from the major landowner and employers in Saint John (the development industry (including Irving Oil and JD Irving Ltd), Port Authority, UNB, the hospital etc.). Part Nine: Community Open House - Review of Draft Municipal Plan [a Section 25 Public Presentation] At the discretion of Council, rather than at a regularly scheduled meeting of Council, drafts of the policies, provisions and maps that will comprise the new Saint John Municipal Plan will be presented to the public for its review and input in an interactive Open House, so that their views will be available to Common Council before it is asked to formally endorse the Draft Municipal Plan Part Ten: City Staff Seek Views of Planning Advisory Committee The views of the Planning Advisory Committee will be sought prior to Council consideration of the Municipal Plan. Public input is welcome at the Planning Advisory Committee Meeting. Part Eleven: Public Hearing of Objections and Adoption by Council - Final Municipal Plan This is the formal Hearing of Objections required by the New Brunswick Community Planning Act in order to adopt the Municipal Plan. The Municipal Plan must then undergo three readings by Council prior to adoption. Readings are done in open session meetings of Common Council and are open to the public.

Stage Two - Public Launch (Nov 2009 - Jan 2010) This stage includes the public project launch, review of background materials, creation of the Citizen Advisory Committee, stakeholder interviews and focus group sessions. This stage enables the Project Team to become immersed in the issues and opportunities in preparation for Stage Three. Stage Three - Defining the Issues and Opportunities (Nov 2009 - April 2010) In this stage the project team and planning staff will gather public input and ideas about managing longterm growth and change at the Issues and Opportunities Workshop. The workshop will include the use of illustrative and interactive maps and graphics and will feature a range of communication media to effectively connect with various audiences to develop the principles, issues and opportunities and begin to define the major issues and constraints around growth and change in Saint John. As the process for the Municipal Plan evolves, it is crucial to have a good understanding of the existing conditions present in Saint John today, in order to determine how and where the city can grow tomorrow. Thus the Background Report, mandated by Provincial legislation, provides an analysis of existing conditions and serves as the source of information and data related to a wide range of urban issues, their interrelations and impacts. While the scope of work for each technical study is described separately in the Appendix, none is mutually exclusive and the findings of each must be understood in the context of the city as a whole.

Stage Four - Setting the Directions for Growth and Change (May - Sept 2010) This stage begins with the Directions Workshop for the Growth Plan options as a forum to discuss the findings and analysis completed in Stage Three. The workshop will also give direction to the Project Team to craft different options for growth and change to bring back for discussion and evaluation. An important piece of work at this stage includes not only the development of different options, but also the development of evaluation criteria to be applied to each option in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses. The results of the Directions Workshop and definition of the evaluation criteria will be the subject of a Report on Engagement: Key Directions for the Growth Plan. The Project Team will then develop the options for growth and change and present them for discussion and evaluation with Planning Staff, Steering Committee, Citizen Advisory Committee and at the Community Open House: Review of Growth Plan Options. Stage Five - Saint John 2035: Plan for Growth and Change (Oct - Nov 2010) In this stage the Project Team will complete the final evaluation of options for growth and change based on the results of consultation in Stage Four, and then develop the draft Plan for Growth and Change. The draft will be presented for review and comment to the Steering Committee, Citizens Advisory Committee, Planning Staff, and at the Community Open House: Recommended Plan for Growth and Change. A final Plan for Growth and Change will be prepared that incorporates feedback on the draft plan, to be presented to Common Council for endorsement. 20 C11 11 Y 011:,,. a:'aAIIP ^JI II J011 14 196 Stage Six - Saint John 2035: Draft Municipal Plan (Dec 2010 - April 2011) The Project Team will facilitate a workshop with City staff, meetings with the Steering Committee, Citizen Advisory Committee, and host public focus group sessions to determine a preliminary framework for the Municipal Plan. The combined input from all of these sessions will be used by the Project Team to develop a draft Municipal Plan, which will be presented for review and comment at a Community Open House, and provided to adjacent municipalities for their information. The draft plan will continue through an extended period of public review during which time people who were unable to attend the Open House will be able to provide their feedback in person at the project storefront, on the project website, by fax, email or surface mail. Stage Seven - Final Municipal Plan (May - Sept 2011) In this stage the comments and feedback received duringthe review period will be incorporated into the final Municipal Plan document, at which time the Municipal Plan will undergo the statutory approval process. Stage Eight - Provincial Review and Final Approval (Oct 2011- December 2011) Once the bylaw is approved by Council, it will be forwarded to the Minister of Environment for approval. A certified copy of the bylaw will be filed in the registry office, and notice published in the newspaper indicating the Minister's approval, at which time the Municipal Plan comes into effect. " L iri Ali II for Changes Lo Lhe Work IRI in As the project progresses there will inevitably be reasons to consider revisions to the Work Plan to best respond to the needs of the community and the requirements of the Plan. Minor changes to the Work Plan that do not impact the Community Engagement Strategy or Communication Plan can be authorized by the City Team. Changes to the Work Plan that impact the Community Engagement Strategy or Communication Plan but do not impact the financial resources committed to the Plan will require the endorsement of the Steering and Citizens Advisory Committees, in addition to the City Team. Common Council will be advised of such changes but not required to formally endorse them. Any changes to the Work Plan impacting the financial resources committed to the project will require the approval of the City Team and Common Council. 197 70RTCIIII.'

The Project Team will work with the Saint John Communications department to develop and carry out a comprehensive Media Outreach Strategy including editorial board meetings; regular features and interviews in print, radio and television media; press releases and advertisements of all public engagement events. A significant web presence is proposed as a critical source of information on local issues. The Project Website will function as the repository for all key project - related materials, provide updates regarding upcoming engagement events and be a place for people to provide their comments on the emerging Plan. All materials prepared as part of the Engagement Strategy and Communication Plan will also direct people to the website.

Urban Strategies' award winning work in Vaughan, Ontario on the creation of a new Official Plan included the preparation of a series of Citizen's Bulletins (newsletters) on policy issues covered in the comprehensive Background Paper. The newsletters were designed by Urban Strategies' in -house graphic designer and made widely available to the public at community workshops, City Hall and on the project website. Samples are illustrated here and complete versions of two of the bulletins are included in the Appendix. olrkslhop & SpeakelrSelriies If Ilyrelr Regularly updated Neighbourhood Displays using Information Panels will be installed in libraries, community centres and other community or neighbourhood gathering places to keep citizens up to date on the process and encourage them to get involved.

These include: The Project Team would like to actively engage a range of youth through a series of Targeted Youth Engagements while preparing the Growth and Municipal Plans. This would involve going out to elementary and secondary schools with a set of interactive activities designed to allow differing age groups to actively participate in definingtheir future. The Project Team also feels it would be of tremendous value to engage with young Saint John professionals on a regular basis through groups like Fusion. An Ideas and Opportunities Video would add significant value to the project by providing a very accessible and appealing way to communicate the purpose of the Growth and Municipal Plans and feature the thoughts and ideas of a range of Saint John's community members. The video format is highly appealing to youth and to individuals with literacy challenges - both groups that otherwise often have difficulty engaging in the planning processes like this. The video would be available on the Project Website, and could be featured on local television and presented at Workshops and Open Houses. Urban Strategies' work on a Regional Growth Strategy in Comox Valley, BC included a public consultation strategy that created multiple opportunities to reach out to as many people as possible, including innovative public engagement tools such as collaborative video at each stage of the engagement process that document what occurred during previous workshops and set the stage for creative dialogue. In Vaughan, Ontario Urban Strategies produced an 18- minute documentary video to provide an overview of the challenges that Vaughan faces as a suburban municipality. The video sets up key transformative actions for the Official Plan by documenting the visioning process. The video proved instrumental in raising public awareness and receives the highest amount of traffic on the project website, and has also been played in libraries throughout Vaughan, at the beginning of public meetings, at University classes and in high schools. A Project Storefront to be located in a visible and accessible location in the Uptown to provide profile for the project and allow interested citizens to drop in for regular updates on the progress of the work. Traditionally, creating new Municipal Plan is based upon a collaborative and inclusive process that includes the public in a series of defined workshops, meetings and other engagement events. The planners and designers then go on to develop these ideas back at their office. The project storefront is an open studio concept that allows the public first hand exposure to the design and master planning process. The storefront provides the following benefits: • a central location for information regarding the project (brochures, schedule, resources, reports, meeting space, etcetera); • a tangible asset that demonstrates Council's commitment to the project; • continuity for the public and stakeholders thereby reducing confusion regarding location of meetings (provided a large enough space is available), resources, etc.; • the public, schools and the hard -to- engage can view and participate in an ongoing process by providing open access to the "planning studio" • like the public City staff will develop new abilities by increasing their exposure to the techniques and work product. • a common space for citizens to exchange and develop ideas outside the formal and organized events. • the public can access the space and therefore project when it suits them, not just when meetings are scheduled.

This will be facilitated by the work of the Project Team and the guidance the Team will be given through its regular interaction with three committees: the Steering Committee; the Citizen's Advisory Committee and the Planning Advisory Committee. While the Steering Committee's reporting responsibility is to the Project Team, the Citizen Advisory Committee and Planning Advisory Committee will advise the Project Team and will also report to Common Council directly. The mandates of the Citizens Advisory Committee and Steering Committee are outlined in more detail in the Appendix. The roles of the three groups that comprise the Project Team are summarized as follows. 28 CIII "'l11Y 011:,,. a:'aA111 ^JIII J011 1114 204 Rdle of Lhe City Fe a The Planning Department will: • be responsible for the strategic direction of all aspects of the project and the quality of all work and deliverables on behalf of the City; • participate actively with the Consultant Team in all community engagement events and in preparation of the Growth and Municipal Plans; • keep Common Council, the Citizen Advisory Committee, the Planning Advisory Committee and the Steering Committee fully up to date on and engaged with the development of the Plan; and • ensure fulfillment of all requirements of the Community Planning Act and related legislation.

As the project leader, Urban Strategies will oversee and coordinate all components of the project process while collaborating creatively with other members of the Project Team and the community of Saint John. They will ensure that the process maintains its focus and momentum in order to meet its scheduled timeline. Urban Strategies will set realistic deadlines for the team's work and provide quality deliverables that meet those deadlines. Their experience with many comparable projects allows Urban Strategies to realistically allocate time, budget and resources to this assignment, and regular communication between team members will ensure that work proceeds as required. 30 CIII "'I11 Y 011: "a'aA111 ^411 «Jell IIP ^JI 206 The Consultant Team will have a Project Manager responsible for the day -to -day operations of the project and for keeping track of work progress to ensure that enough resources are available to meet deadlines, in regular discussion with the City Team's Project Manager. The Project Manager will be in constant communication with team members through email, telephone, conference calls, shared project FTP sites and other telecommunication techniques. The Project Manager will also be responsible for arranging meetings between team members and the client as required, and ensuring follow -up action is undertaken to keep the project running smoothly. Urban Strategies will facilitate weekly conference calls between the City and Consultant teams throughout the duration of the project to review all work in progress; define the process, timing and outcomes for upcoming work elements; and clearly articulate expectations. These calls will be fundamental to ensuring coordination between the variety of work elements being completed by each of Urban Strategies, ADI and the City Team. 207 'Illl IIII a allri u StIIr The City of Saint John is committed to delivering its Municipal Plan Review process in accordance with the requirements of the Official Languages Act adopted by the Province of New Brunswick.

Among the 11 topics covered in the Background Report, several have been identified as deserving more in -depth study. They relate to issues of Housing, Environment, Municipal Servicing, Transportation, and Industrial Land Use. The costs for these studies have not been included in any budget submission to date. Opportunities to share funding would be pursued with partners wherever possible. Housing Strategy and Symposium This enhanced technical study would provide a detailed understanding of the dynamics of housing in Saint John with a particular focus on affordable housing. The enhanced study would include an assessment of existing policies, regulations, standards and practices that influence the housing market in Saint John. The inclusion of a symposium would bring together a keynote speaker and important local stakeholders in a setting that allows an interchange of ideas and skills. The goal of this study is to provide a "user - friendly" housing guide that sets out a clear direction for the development of all types of housing in the city with an emphasis on affordable housing. Comprehensive Environmental Strategy This enhanced technical study would expand upon four main environmental categories: water resource protection; storm water and effluent management, wetlands protection related to the identification of wetlands in the context of urban, suburban and rural areas of the city; and greenhouse gas emissions management and reduction. This enhanced report would also develop a comprehensive sustainability strategy to achieve tangible evidence of conservation in Saint John. Municipal Infrastructure Costing This study would report on the main municipal services: roads, public transit, water, wastewater & stormwater, solid waste, parks & recreation, libraries, police, and fire services. Cost of Servicing analysis provides the City of Saint John with a better understanding of the cost implications of different patterns of growth. A total of six distinct scenarios would be developed these scenarios are based on different combinations of neighbourhood characteristics and location and included the following: • high density mixed use neighbourhood in the inner urban area • medium density neighbourhood in the inner urban area • medium density neighbourhood in inner suburbs • low density neighbourhood in inner suburbs • low density neighbourhood in outer suburbs • medium density neighbourhood in outer suburbs By illustrating the link between services and density applied to sample settlement patterns typical in Saint John the results will support discussions of the relative and incremental costs of typical communities here in Saint John. Transportation Master Plan The goal of the Transportation Master Plan is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of traffic volumes, patterns, demands and major traffic generators within the City of Saint 215 John through the collection and analysis of relevant data. Using computer modeling the Transportation Master Plan can forecast impacts to the transportation network into the future. This will enable the identification of links within the network that operate currently at unacceptable levels or are projected to operate at unacceptable levels resulting from anticipated growth and development over a 20 year study period. The Master Plan will also identify improvements related to safety concerns, pedestrian handling facilities and ITS opportunities. A review of the transit system and a strategic parking plan that accounts for a balance between transit service, active transportation and parking is also included to create a multi -modal transportation plan. Comprehensive Industrial Land Use Strategy The objective of this enhanced study is to complete a more in -depth analysis of heavy industry in Saint John incorporating recently announced industrial projects and others such as wind and tidal power projects ( "green energy"). As these types of industries are not usually associated with normal population growth - they are therefore difficult to predict. The issue of land use and compatibility will become more significant and solutions to mitigate its impacts will be examined. The inclusion of these enhanced technical studies is not included in this Charter due the financial implications such in -depth study requires. However, their importance to the Municipal Plan process, and the City cannot be discounted. The ability to undertake primary data collection and research, collate pertinent information and carry out comprehensive analysis will leave a legacy of critical information for the City of Saint John that will be an invaluable tool for all future planning and city initiated growth and development initiatives. It is proposed that the cost of funding these enhanced studies should be explored with other external partners and appropriate funding agencies.

The Strategy and Plan will be based on the collective aspirations of citizens on how best to preserve and enhance the City's quality of life. To this end, the Strategy and Plan will take into consideration important social, economic and environmental issues and objectives. It will link transportation needs and land use planning, and will provide guidance on matters such as environmental protection, open space and community facilities, housing, urban design, heritage protection, Uptown development and future economic growth.

WllPJICIIII' "sill II IAlI,J & G11:1 0" r"IIII°II II S11 : :IA 111 GY 45 222 Back gr a iri The City is preparingto launch a review of its Municipal Plan which was first adopted in 1973. Although the Plan has been subject to many amendments over its 36 year lifespan, it was based on economic projections that never materialized. A new Municipal Plan is one of Council's priorities to ensure the growth and development of city reflects the community's long term aspirations. This work will build on the very successful community engagements conducted as part of the "my Saint John" community vision process and the community sustainability plan. It will provide a mechanism to entrench many of those principles into a statutory plan that dictates how the city should grow and develop in a sustainable manner. This plan will go beyond issues of zoning provide a holistic framework and a road map for how the community should grow over the next 25 years to meet its sustainability principles. It will also identify where strategic investments are needed in transportation and municipal infrastructure, how to ensure development is achieved in a fiscally sustainable manner, and how municipal services such as recreation and transit can be most efficiently provided to meet the long terms goals for the community. 223 RII The steering committee will play an important role in championing the Municipal Plan within the City administration. The role of the committee is three -fold: • to ensure integration with corporate initiatives, building on the strategic directions of the "My Saint John" Community Visioning, the community's sustainability plan, City's Corporate strategic plan, and the upcoming 225th anniversary and cultural capital celebrations ; • provide internal signoff on behalf of the municipal administration before deliverables are presented publicly; and • provide resources (staff & technical resources) to support delivery of the Plan. WRTIICIIII :W1 II I AlI,J & G1110W11I II°II II a' 11 :1A 11 II GY 47 The steering committee will be chaired by Planning & Development and include senior staff of all City departments & related agencies which deliver primarily services influencing physical form of the city. It is important that senior staff be represented to provide strategic direction and leadership to the project and where required, allocate resources to support the technical aspects of the plan. The following core functions of the administration will be represented at the Municipal Plan steering committee: • City management (Corporate planning & Communications) • Municipal Operations & Engineering • Planning& Development • Leisure Services • Building Inspections • Finance • Police • Fire • Human resources (support skills development) • Common Clerk's office (link to council & community engagement) • Parking Commission • Transit Commission • Enterprise Saint John The committee will act as a sounding board to review materials from each phase prior to public engagement and Council endorsement of the work products of each phase. The steering committee's direction will be arrived at through discussion and consensus. 48 C11 11 Y 0111 "a'aAIIP ^Jl if aJ0I1 14 224 Resource ConmitmerA The steering committee will meet at key milestones throughout two year plan review process (at least 6 -8 times typically at 8 week intervals). Senior staff on the committee will also assign key departmental staff to advise on technical issues related to plan.

Corripact Nodal Growth wrth new settlement arelas Most new development would be concentrated within the existing Courterray Comex Cumberland settlement area and established rural centres, but new settlement areas, or nodes, would also be considered. The core Courtenay Comex Cumberland settlement area would be less dense than in Approach 3. Existing rural contras, or nodes would not see as much growth (e.g., Black Creek, Union Bay, Mud Bay, etc.). CoIl Nodal Growth Most new development would be concentrated willbin the existing Courtenay Comex Curnberlandseltlement area and established rural centres. Less development would occur in the urban core (Courlonay Centex Cumberland), while with more development would be permitted in rural centres, or nodes (e.g., Black Creek, Union Bay, Mud Bay, etc.). Additional development along the Old Inland Highway, which connects the rural cennes, would be expected. Loose Settlerinent Area Here, a much larger land area to be available for development. Conceptually, new settlement areas could be established In a large zone located mostly cast of the Inland Highway.

Population trends and characteristics impact the type of services demanded bythe population. Understanding the make -up of the city's population and having insight into how it will change over time is critical to understanding how Saint John will need to adapt its service delivery to meet the needs of its residents. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE The technical background study on population and demographics will provide an analysis and graphical summary of population statistics for the City of Saint John. The analysis will focus on population characteristics, such as the city's age -sex structure, household characteristics and family composition, and population trends. The report will incorporate Fredericton and Moncton as benchmark comparisons for Saint John. Other potential benchmark communities will be determined by the project team in partnership with City Planning staff. STUDY COMPONENTS 1.0 Population Change Over the last few decades Saint John has seen a steady decline in its population, as residents move from the city to neighbouring communities. The city's population currently stands at 68,000, down from nearly 90,000 residents in the early 1970s. This section will examine the impact of population change on the city's economy, housing, municipal servicing, etc. Questions to be asked include - are there ways to stabilize the City's population and hope for future growth, or should the City focus on how to best manage change or continued decline? 66 C11 if Y 011: SA 114 P ^Jl if J011 I14 242 2.0 Population Composition This section will examine Saint John's population based on a variety of characteristics and will identify some key challenges and issues that can be addressed in the Municipal Plan. Some key characteristics to be analyzed (and contrasted to benchmark communities) include immigration rates, family composition, age - sex structures and household characteristics. 3.0 Neighbourhood ( "sub- area ") Characteristics Saint John has four electoral Wards, numerous census tracts and 18 different and uniquely identifiable neighbourhoods. Through the use of GIS mappingthis section of the study will provide an analysis of population trends in different sub -areas of Saint John to understand how neighbourhood growth and decline have impacted different parts of the city. Specific attention will be paid to the City's Five Priority Neighbourhoods. 4.0 Population Projections The primary trends that affect population change in Saint John, including birth rates, death rates and migration rates, and employment patterns will be summarized in this section. Two methods will be used to project future population trends: the first, trend analysis, involves projectingthe overall trend of a community's total population, while the second, referred to as the cohort method, and projects the future population of each cohort (age group) of the population. Using existing projections provided by Statistics Canada, this study will highlight key population trends for Saint John. Where required, additional projections maybe completed byADI Limited. BACKGROUND INFORMATION (EXISTING & REQUIRED) This study will summarize available information and provide preliminary conclusions based upon the review and analysis of data from Statistics Canada (2001 and 2006 Census), CMHC, and other available reports and statistics. City of Saint John Planning staff will assist in compiling and reviewing data from building permits and property assessments to be reviewed by ADI staff. The report's conclusions will also incorporate interviews with City staff, CMHC, other governmental agencies, mortgage institutions, residential housing developers and other identified stakeholders as deemed necessary by the project team. In addition to the list of relevant background documents provided by City staff, additional background reports of interest for this section include: • Vision 2015 Reports (2007) • Benefits Blueprint Report (2008) • Vibrant Communities Poverty & Plenty II Report (2008) • Greater Saint John's Vital Signs (2009) 243 Fec h ri li Il IF.:..3ack u o u ri S L u y2: I.....l o u li ii g Housing is the most dominant building type in any city and is a critical element of any Municipal Plan as it impacts all residents. In addition to understanding the composition of Saint John residents, understanding where and in what type of housingthey live, is of paramount interest. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE The housing study will include an overview of demographic and socio- economic data, a review of the City's existing housing supply and an analysis of how demographic, socio- economic and industrial trends will impact future demand for housing. In addition, an overview of two specific aspects of housing important to Saint John; affordable housing and vacant and abandoned properties, will be presented. STUDY COMPONENTS 1.0 Demographic & Socio- Economic Review Building upon the data provided in the technical study on population, this section will review relevant demographic and socio- economic data and trends for Saint John, such as average household size and make -up; average household income; incidence of low income; rates of unemployment; and home ownership versus rental statistics. 2.0 Housing Supply Analysis — Housing Market Review In order for the Municipal Plan to effectively respond to the housing needs of Saint John residents, it is necessary to first determine the mix and supply of existing housing. This section will review the following: • dwelling types and tenure rates (renting vs. owning) • residential building permits (private, not - for - profit, etc.) • housing starts and completions • demolitions and conversions • residential vacancy rates WRTIICIIII :W1 II I AlI,J & G1110W11I II°II II a' 11 :1A 11 II GY 67 3.0 Housing Demand Analysis - Housing Forecasting This section will review demographic and socio- economic trends and determine their expected impacts on demand for housing by type (single - family housing, senior housing, sustainable housing models, etc.). It will also provide a review of the current stock of housing and supply of residential lands in light of population forecasts and demographic trends to determine future demand. Historically speaking, Saint John's housing supply has been intrinsically linked with the ebbs and flows of local industry. As such, the impact of industrial trends on the housing stock, vacancy rates, rental rates, as well as resale and assessment values will form part of this analysis. 4.0 Affordable Housing Housing affordability is of vital importance to the City of Saint John, yet there is much confusion surrounding the topic. This section will provide an appropriate definition of affordable housing and a brief examination of issues relative to the provision of affordable housing including a review of homeownership and rental affordability, potential "mixed income" housing strategies, and different affordable housing models. 5.0 Vacant & Abandoned Properties Saint John has a number of vacant and /or abandoned properties concentrated in specific neighbourhoods such as the north and south ends. A discussion surrounding vacant land management should focus on returningthese properties to a tax - producing state by making them more attractive to private or not - for - profit developers for residential infill development. 68 C11 if Y 011' "a'aAI1^4 "'11 aJ0I1 14 244 BACKGROUND INFORMATION (EXISTING & REQUIRED) The technical study on housing will depend upon data from Statistics Canada, CMHC and other available relevant reports and statistics. Interviews CMHC and residential developers in the Saint John Region may also be required. City Planning Staff will gather, compile and summarize relevant documentation and statistics tracked by the City such as building permits, assessment information and the like. In addition to the list of relevant background documents provided by City staff, additional background reports of interest for this section include: • Vision 2015 Reports (2007) • Saint John Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (2008) • Benefits Blueprint Report (2008) • Vibrant Communities Poverty and Plenty 2 Report (2008) • A Portrait of Homelessness in Greater Saint John - Human Development Council (2008) • Greater Saint John's Vital Signs (2009) Historically, Saint John's population growth was associated with the growth of local industry, including pulp and paper, energy and ship building. Understanding the make up of the city's economy, and how it may change over time, is a critical element of any Municipal Planning process as the economy is a leading factor in determining the city's future population levels. Recently, many studies have speculated that growth in the energy sector will translate into an associated growth in population. To date, these population projections have not materialized. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE This technical study will provide an analysis and graphical summary of the business, labour and economic data and forecasts for the City of Saint John. Data from Statistics Canada, APEC, the Conference Board of Canada, Enterprise Saint John and other Financial Institutions (BMO Scotia Bank, etc.) will be used. The work is essentially interpretive and analytical in nature, with an emphasis on analyzing and comparing data from other select economies, as well as analyzing spatial (sub -area) elements of Saint John's local economy. Similar to that proposed in the technical background study on population, the economic study will incorporate Fredericton and Moncton as benchmark comparisons for Saint John. Other potential benchmark communities will be determined by the project team in partnership with City Planning staff. STUDY COMPONENTS 1.0 Economic Overview The first section of this study will provide an economic profile of Saint John by summarizing the most recent Census data from Statistics Canada and other sources of economic statistics mentioned above. Topics of interest will include employment and labour income (including average hourly earnings), employment/ 245 unemployment ratios and labour participation rates. GIS mapping will be used to map the data, as well as major employment areas throughout the city. This will also allow for a discussion of discrepancies in economic data at the neighbourhood (sub -area) level, includingthe Five Priority Neighbourhoods. 2.0 Economic Trends & Forecasting This section will rely primarily on available statistics and economic forecasts from sources mentioned above. Trends for employment by sector will be of particular interest to this study to determine major changes in employment by sector in Saint John. A review and summary of city, regional and provincial economic development strategies and priorities will be included. Employment sectors of particular interest to Saint John include: 2.1 Commercial /Retail The commercial and retail sectors have been of growing importance to Saint John as its economy continues to diversify beyond its industrial base. This section will provide an overview of major commercial and retail developments (recent, planned, potential) usingthe APEC Major Project inventory and historical data related to development permits, as well as data and interviews with City Planningstaff, Enterprise Saint John and local commercial /retail developers. 2.2 Tourism Cruise ships have become an iconic part of Saint John's image. This section will discuss the benefits and relative importance of the tourism sector by reviewing provincial and regional tourism statistics and trends, as well as city and provincial tourism development strategies and priorities. Cruise ship statistics will also be analyzed. This section will conclude with a review of the national and regional outlook for the tourism sector. WRTIICIIII :sill II I AlI,J & G11:1 0" r"II II°II II a' 11 :1A1111 GY 69 2.3 Natural Resources Many businesses in Saint John are rooted in the natural resources sector. This section will review historical and regional output and employment statistics for industries such as fisheries, agriculture, forestry and mineral /mining. It will conclude with a review of the anticipated outlook for these respective sectors. 2.4 Industry /Energy No discussion of Saint John's economy is complete without looking at the industry and energy sectors. This section will include discussion surroundingthe "energy hub" concept and related projects (LNG terminal, Lepreau Nuclear Plant, second Irving refinery, etc.) and the future of the City's industrial economy. The data collected in this section will serve as the starting point for an expanded discussion on the city's industrial economy in Technical Background Study 11: Industrial Land Use. BACKGROUND INFORMATION (EXISTING & REQUIRED) Relevant studies and documentation will be supplied by Enterprise Saint John and other agencies identified through data gathering stages of the background report.

III ID The growth and decline of various neighbourhoods, industries and commercial areas in Saint John relates to the city's physical, social and economic history as well as emerging influences. This background report will provide Saint John with a rationale and guide to understanding the functional characteristics of the city's development trends and patterns. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE The proposed study will describe the city's land use needs, opportunities, and constraints and determine the most appropriate and feasible areas to accommodate growth and re- urbanization. Relying heavily upon GIS analysis the study team will define Saint John in terms of its infrastructure components and land use development patterns. The proposed study will also examine land use needs, opportunities, and constraints in Saint John, and determine the most appropriate and feasible areas within the city to accommodate growth and re- urbanization. The objective of the study is to achieve the following: • review existing land -uses and land -use structure; • identify areas of public interest such as lands for waterfront access and public and open spaces; • identify the location and characteristics of transportation routes and access points, including active transportation, as defined in the technical background study on transportation; • identify appropriate locations for future land uses or a range of uses; • identify areas for focused re- urbanization and to accommodate sustainable new growth. 72 C11 11 011:,,. a:'aAIIP ^JIII J011 14 248 STUDY COMPONENTS This study will be organized into three separate chapters based on sub -area characteristics - rural, suburban and urban. Each sub -area is defined by the level of development within their boundaries. 1.0 Rural Saint John 2.0 Suburban Saint John 3.0 Urban Saint John Each chapter will contain the following topics: • Municipal Plan Designations and Zoning Status • Permitted Uses and Existing Land Use Inventory • Development Applications /Amendments /Re- Zonings • Activities Related to Building Permits / Subdivisions / Variances • Properties Identified For Potential Development • Mapping and GIS analysis for land uses (residential, commercial, institutional, recreational, industrial) and vacant land Each of the three chapters (rural, suburban, urban) will also include a review of the following elements: 1. Land Use Structure - how is the land organized in spatial terms, focusing on large geographic areas of analysis and the unique attributes of the location such as transportation corridors, infrastructure and topography. 2. Land Use Density- encompasses both residential and employment densities, 3. Land Use Mix - encompasses the character and range of land uses found within an urban structure. BACKGROUND INFORMATION (EXISTING & REQUIRED) In addition to the list of relevant background documents provided by City staff, background reports of interest for this section include existing land use mapping and reports at the city and neighbourhood level. City Planning staff will be asked to gather, compile and summarize relevant documents, especially those related to development applications, rezonings, amendments, building permits and subdivision applications. The summarized documents will then be sent to ADI staff for review and analysis. City Planning staff will be available to discuss and verify findings. 249 Fechrili Il IF.:..3ack uo uri SL u y wn li li Ip II S ry i li ri Municipal Servicing consists of two major elements: infrastructure that is largely invisible to the average resident (including sewer and water systems), as well as community facilities that often help define a community (including schools, police stations, libraries, etc.). Both "invisible" and visible services significantly influence patterns of growth and need to be inventoried as part of any Municipal Plan. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE The purpose of this technical study is to provide an overview and inventory of municipal servicing infrastructure and facilities in Saint John. WATER, WASTEWATER, SOLID WASTE & UTILITIES This portion of the study will develop a municipal servicing strategy for the city's "underground systems" for water distribution, sanitary sewers and storm water management within the new Municipal Plan for the City of Saint John. The scope of work will see a review of all available pertinent background information, updating and or development of municipal servicing mapping and recommendations for servicing strategies within the City. Solid waste management will also be included in the discussion. Facilities directly related to servicing infrastructure, such as pumping stations and water treatment plants, as well as utility corridors, will be inventoried and mapped. INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES This half of the technical report will map and provide spatial analysis for the municipal facilities that impact the lives of Saint John residents on a day -to -day basis and that ensure the smooth operation of the city. Facilities to be included in the scope of this inventory include fire and police stations, hospitals and schools.

These reports will assist in the development of creating a coherent direction for improvements to the municipal servicing system, including solid waste management. 1.2 Policy Review The project team will review the current Municipal Plan and relevant documentation to identify gaps and needed changes to municipal servicing given the vast undertakings currently underway in Saint John. This section will provide recommended modifications to select current policies based on this review. 1.3 Infrastructure Mapping Infrastructure mapping will need to be updated and consolidated. This section will review the current master mapping in place for water distribution, sanitary sewer collection and treatment systems, as well as storm water management systems. Based on these reviews, recommendations will be made and updated mapping completed. 2.0 Institutional Facilities 2.1 Educational & Cultural Facilities Although schools and post- secondary institutions fall under provincial jurisdiction, they are nonetheless important facilities to include in any facilities inventory. Elementary and secondary schools can serve as important neighbourhood anchors, while universities can provide post- secondary educational opportunities for residents close to home. This section will map elementary and secondary schools as well as post- secondary institutions, such as universities and colleges, libraries and museums. A brief review of the locations of these facilities will conclude this section. 74 C11 11 Y 0111 "a'aAIIP ^Jl if aJ0I1 14 250 2.2 Health & Safety Facilities Fire and police services are both municipal institutions that are legislated and regulated through their respective federal and provincial acts. Saint John is home to the largest police force in New Brunswick and the second highest number of police officers per capita in Canada. This section will map the location of police and fire stations as well as hospitals and health care centres. 2.3 Other Facilities & Institutions This portion of the facilities inventory will include items such as cemeteries and crematoria, and other municipal facilities deemed necessary by the project team. Recreational facilities, such as community centres and arenas, will be included in Technical Background Study 8: Parks and Recreation. BACKGROUND INFORMATION (EXISTING & REQUIRED) In order to properly complete this technical report, the project team will require documents from the last twenty years related to waste water, storm water and sewer systems at the citywide and area - specific levels. While it is understood that a comprehensive list of such documents exist, the project team will work in conjunction with City Engineering staff to obtain full access to such documents, without which an effective update to the municipal servicing infrastructure will not be possible.

In the past few decades, this has been achieved by giving priority to motor vehicles over all other forms of transportation. More recently, however, alternative methods for planning transportation systems have emerged that focus on inter -modal opportunities and integrating transportation with land -use planning. Understanding the state of the current system is the first step in movingthe city's transportation system in a new direction. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE The objective of the technical background study on transportation is to create a base of transportation data that can be utilized as input to the preparation of the Municipal Plan for the City of Saint John. The technical report will involve a high level review of existing transportation infrastructure and characteristics. STUDY COMPONENTS 1.0 Review of Existing Street System Through the development of a classification for existing streets, this section will identify traffic levels on key roads and sidewalks, complete an analysis of existing levels of service and planned road and sidewalk improvements, and identify network deficiencies. Once complete, ADI's transportation engineers will identify potential improvements to address existing deficiencies based on key locations where data is available. 2.0 Review of Transit Operations This section will identify routes and service coverage of Saint John's public transportation system and, through discussions with transit staff, will identify existing deficiencies in the network. Analysis will allow for recommendations of increased or decreased services to meet future needs. 251 3.0 Active Transportation Active transportation has garnered an increasing amount of attention in recent years as municipalities and regions around the world have started to recognize the negative impacts of automobile- dependant communities. This section will explore opportunities to strengthen Saint John's active transportation network and improve the transportation modal split of Saint John residents. 4.0 Goods Movements Commerce, industry and trade are vital elements of Saint John's prosperity. Ensuring an efficient movement of goods into and out of the city will help secure Saint John's place as a major economic centre into the future. Building upon previous transportation studies, this section will identify existingtruck routes as well as potential future truck routes, such as the One Mile House interchange. 5.0 Parking Characteristics The final section of the transportation study will build upon existing parking reports and discussions with city staff and the Saint John Parking Commission. Focus will be on parking supply and demand issues in the Uptown area. Parking deficiencies and opportunities for improvement will be identified.

The City of Saint John boasts a wide range of recreational opportunities for its 68,000 residents, including community centres, arenas, parks, playgrounds, sports fields and a variety of services and programs. While it is important that a community has a wide range of park space and recreational facilities, it is more important to understand whether or not this infrastructure is meeting the changing needs of the community. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE The parks and recreation technical study will build upon recently - completed parks and recreation studies by incorporating the Infrastructure, Facilities & Programming Inventory Study, the Trails & Bikeway Strategic Plan, and the Sandy Point Road Planning Study (Rockwood Park), all of which are currently underway and due to be completed in early 2010. The chapter will provide an overview of existing open spaces and recreational infrastructure, commentary on current recreational trends in the city, an analysis of the parks and recreation system's strengths and weaknesses and a preliminary discussion on opportunities for the future. CHAPTER COMPONENTS 1.0 Parks and Recreation Overview This section will summarize the findings of relevant background documents related to parks and recreation, with a specific focus on the soon- to -be- completed documents mentioned above. The goal of this section will be to summarize existing data in a coherent format to determine where to go from here. 2.0 Parks and Recreation Inventory This section will use GIS mappingto consolidate the findings and recommendations outlined in the Bikes and Trails Strategic Plan and the Sandy Point Road Planning Study with those of the Infrastructure, Facilities & Programming Inventory Study. The final map will include an inventory of recreational facilities and open spaces, as well as the existing and proposed trails network. 3.0 Opportunities for the Future This section will summarize the findings of the above sections and include focused discussion surrounding a few key recreational topics of particular importance to Saint John, to be determined through further research.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION (EXISTING & REQUIRED) Working closely with the City's Heritage Officer, City Planning Staff will gather compile and summarize data related to the City's historic and cultural resources including: applications to the Preservation Heritage Board, relevant documents from New Brunswick Museum and archives. historical data from Records Management and other additional information related to the City's heritage properties and archaeological sites. The summarized documents will be forwarded to the projectteam for analysis and staff will be available for discussions with the project team to verify findings. In addition to the list of relevant background documents provided by City staff, additional background reports of interest for this section include: • Greater Saint John's Vital Signs (2009) - The Greater Saint John Community Foundation • By -Law HC -1 Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas (2008) • By -Law HC -1 A Law to Amend The Saint John Heritage Conservation Area (2009) • City of Saint John Planning Fees and Development Incentive Programs Review (2010) Urban Form & SUrucLure Urban form refers to the physical layout and design of a city. A city is shaped by a myriad of forces, including ecosystems, urban morphology and built form, population, transportation, job markets and employment areas, and social structure, to name just a few. As an example, the Greater Saint John Region has seen rapid development in peripheral communities, while the urban core has shrunk. This pattern of growth has resulted in transportation infrastructure consuming a large portion of land in the City of Saint John in order to service outlying communities. SCOPE & OBJECTIVE This technical report will analyze the City's form and structure. It will review the City's current policy approach to urban form and discuss associated strengths and weaknesses. This analysis presents an opportunity to identify the program areas, tools, and policy provisions that warrant further research and possible inclusion into the City's Municipal Planning and Policy framework. The principal objective of the Urban Form and Structure report is to conduct effective research and analysis which will lead to the identification of potential new policies to promote preferred development design (eg. mixed uses, transit - oriented development, infill /intensification, green corridors, etc.) and potential new implementation tools to facilitate high quality, sustainable and innovative urban design standards as the City continues to develop and intensify. Innovation in urban design standards will help Saint John develop more liveable urban spaces. This includes such strategies as enhancing the City's existing potential for placemaking by using a place- centered approach to helping citizens improve public spaces and make great communal spaces. Another example of urban design 255 innovation would be the development of Saint John's green corridor potential, which can greatly enhance the landscape and provide opportunities for walking and cycling whether for leisure purposes or travel and opportunities for wildlife migration. STUDY COMPONENTS 1.0 Existing Conditions in Saint John This section will include an analysis of the evolution of built form in Saint John in order to understand the causes and effects of the City's development. In addition, it will include a summary of the analysis of existing urban form in Saint John that will cover the following areas: • Coherence • Circulation • Diversity • Safety • Open Space Network • Human Services • Preservation • Ecological Environment • Scale • Sustainability • Enhancement • Land Use Compatibility This section will conclude with a discussion of the existing urban environment with an identification of local strengths and weaknesses. 2.0 Review of Best Practices in Urban Form & Structure This section will discuss innovative urban form policies which are relevantto Saint John. In addition, this section will (based on our assessment of the built and natural environments), establish evaluation criteria for the effectiveness of current policies which influence urban form.

Y I The chy ti, f Saba 011n, Saint ,John has over six hundred (600) drainage basins that carry stormwater flows from higher to lower elevations across the community, eventually to rivers and streams, and onto the Bay of Fundy. The Marsh Creek system is a large and long problematic one. The Marsh Creek watershed covers a total drainage area of about 4,125 hectares (10,200 acres); forest, bogs, lakes and steep bedrock slopes with little habitation at its upper reaches, draining into a very flat and extensively developed floodplain. In its natural state, the "Great Salt Marsh" was subject to twice daily inundation from the Bay of Fundy during high tides. Construction of the Courtney Bay Causeway created a barrier to this tidal intrusion. This and other man -made structures, however, also impede drainage of flood waters out of the Marsh Creek system. Stormwater flows follow a path of least resistance in moving from high ground to lower elevations, at times causing considerable damage along the way. When flows are particularly heavy, low elevations become flooded - until that water is able to dissipate. The capacity of natural systems and drainage infrastructure relative to precipitation rates, topography and the nature of soils will largely determine the impact of runoff, and the elevation of land relative to sea level will affect how well it drains. Purpose of Report This report will review the status of the Marsh Creek basin, the flooding experienced there and measures that could lessen flooding and /or mitigate its impact, specifically the stormwater diversion system currently being contemplated. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - MARSH CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 278 Stormwater Management - Marsh Creek Drainage Basin November 51, 2009 Report to Common Council, M &C 2009 - 361 Page 2 BACKGROUND The Marsh Creek area has a history of human intervention and land reclamation dating back to the late 1700s. From the beginning, people seeking to live on or otherwise utilize the marshland have had to deal with flooding - from rainfall and snowmelt runoff, and from the tidal action of the Bay of Fundy. There remains today a risk of flooding for some 300 homes, public facilities and substantial commercial development. Natural runoff from the surrounding hilly terrain (into the basin "bowl ") makes flooding a distinct reality during large or even moderate rainfall events, particularly when the ground is already saturated from earlier rainfalls. Channelling runoff flows from several tributary streams, Marsh Creek drains the area to Courtney Bay. The tidal gates at the Courtney Bay causeway, that holds back sea water at high tide, open to allow water to flow out at low tide. A hydrologic and hydraulic model of the watershed (hydrologic - rate /volume of runoff; hydraulic - flow of water in channels, pipes and conduits) shows that much of the floodplain area is below sea level during high tide. Moreover, in addition to man -made barriers, outflow is restricted by a narrow channel and "flatness" of the Creek (0.018 %) - causing flood waters to drain very slowly. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - MARSH CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 279 Stormwater Management - Marsh Creek Drainage Basin November 51, 2009 Report to Common Council, M &C 2009 - 361 Page 3 ANALYSIS There is a long history of efforts to overcome the effects of flooding in the Marsh Creek drainage basin. In recent times, a comprehensive watershed study' was undertaken in the mid -70s on behalf of Environment New Brunswick and the City of Saint ,John by Proctor & Redfurn Limited. Major flooding events had occurred in February 1970, December 1974, November 1975 and ,January 1976. The flood damage reduction program resulting from that study led to construction of the Upper Glen Falls Reservoir in 1978 -79. This substantial dam and flow control structure, located in a natural valley north of the Glen Road, is designed "to reduce the peak flow in the east branch of the Marsh Creek and thereby reduce flooding which occurs downstream ... during periods of heavy run -off'. The structure can hold back great volumes of water, gradually releasing it into the Marsh Creek system. In the 1980s, the Department of Transportation replaced a culvert structure at Marsh Creek with the new Marco Polo Bridge. This followed a very serious flood in early 1981 where ice in the creek blocked flow through the culvert pipes. Within the last decade, DOT has replaced culvert pipes under both Simpson Drive and Rothesay Avenue with expanded box culverts. Also, in that time, the City constructed a floodway (excavated retention basin) in an area between Golden Grove Road and Brown Street. Despite "system improvements ", serious floods still occur. Over the last few years, four very heavy rainfall events have led to flooding of Glen Falls and the Marsh Creek basin: ca June 3 -4, 2006 ca September 7, 2008 ca August 29 -30, 2009 ca October 25 -26, 2009 116 mm over two days 145 mm in just over 12 hours (Hurricane Hanna) 107 mm (Tropical Storm Danny) 117 mm After the experience of ,June 2006, staff reported to Council' on Glen Falls flooding with a recommendation to develop a Stormwater Management Strategy for the City of Saint ,John, with a particular focus on assessing the Glen Falls flood risk area. Council adopted that recommendation and a public call for proposals led to the engagement of the Terrain Group on March 12", 2007. 1 Watershed Management Study, Marsh Creek Watershed, on behalf of Environment New Brunswick and the City of Saint John, Proctor & Redfurn Limited, March 1976 Z Operations Manual - Upper Glen Falls Reservoir, City of Saint John, prepared by Proctor & Redfurn Limited, July 1979 3 Flooding June 4 -5 Glen Falls, City of Saint John, Report to Common Council, M & C 2006 — 170 dated June 13t ", 2006 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - MARSH CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 280 Stormwater Management - Marsh Creek Drainage Basin November 51, 2009 Report to Common Council, M &C 2009 - 361 Page 4 The Terrain report, presented to Council on December 8", 2008, had three components: A. Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual: a consistent municipal standard for analysis, design, review and assessment of storm drainage systems. B. Marsh Creek Watershed Assessment, Evaluation and Improvements: a comprehensive review of the Marsh Creek watershed. C. Delineation and Analysis of Other Drainage Basins: mapping, assessment and prioritization of stormwater issues across drainage basins in the city. A notable aspect of Terrain's Marsh Creek analysis dealt with a different type of flooding phenomenon: one brought about by a Bay of Fundy storm surge rather than stormwater runoff. Although such events are rare and much less likely than heavy rains, a large storm surge taking place during a high tide could have catastrophic consequences for people, properties and infrastructure in the floodplain. In considering possible flood mitigation measures, decision makers need to be mindful of the potential for a storm surge occurrence. The power of the Bay of Fundy could quite abruptly overwhelm infrastructure put in place to mitigate the effects of stormwater runoff. Terrain's Marsh Creek Recommendations Terrain put forward five (5) complementary recommendations designed to reduce the frequency and impact of flooding in the Marsh Creek drainage basin: Construct a closed pipe diversion system to divert water from the upper areas of the watershed to Drury Cove (Kennebecasis River); to redirect about 50% of the basin's total drainage, greatly reducing the potential for flooding. 2. Install a high flow low head pumping station at the Courtney Bay Causeway to reduce forebay water levels during high tide or install operable sluice gates at the Causeway to allow the forebay to completely drain in one tide cycle. 3. Replace the triple culverts at the CN Rail crossing of Marsh Creek, at the entrance to the forebay, with a bridge. 4. Consider, after additional study, future construction of a levee at the Causeway capable of holding back high tide plus a 2.0 metre storm surge and wave action. (An early warning system should also be set up to efficiently and expeditiously evacuate the Marsh Creek area should the need arise.) 5. Provide controls over future development in the Marsh Creek watershed; set safe elevations for structures and restrict any further impingement or encroachment on the Marsh Creek channel itself. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - MARSH CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 281 Stormwater Management - Marsh Creek Drainage Basin November 51, 2009 Report to Common Council, M &C 2009 - 361 Page 5 Marsh Creek Stormwater Diversion System Among the staff recommendations on the Stormwater Management Strategy, adopted by Council, was one that dealt with the Marsh Creek stormwater diversion system: "Consider the Possible Implementation Plan for a Marsh Creek Stormwater Diversion System, as outlined ..., and be prepared to approve an allocation of $500,000 in the 2009 Capital Program (Storm) for a preliminary design and full cost-benefit analysis of such a diversion system. Full funding commitment would depend on cost-benefit feasibility and Council approval." It was indicated that a preliminary design would first be undertaken in 2009, along with a thorough analysis of system costs versus benefits. With that information, including more accurate cost estimates, Council would determine feasibility to proceed with this multi - million dollar undertaking, beginning with detailed design as early as 2010. When talk began on the idea of stimulus funding for infrastructure, the City of Saint ,John was proactive. On December 21", 2008, Common Council identified 31 projects in a "Special Infrastructure Program" as the basis for a submission to Federal and Provincial ministers. Among those projects identified were three on the stormwater diversion system. A sample copy of the Mayor's letter, dated December 22nd, is attached. On ,January 9", 2009, staff met with a representative of New Brunswick's federal cabinet minister and the local Member of Parliament to review the 31 projects. In follow -up, at the request of our MP, a full presentation on the Marsh Creek Stormwater Diversion project was provided to him and the Mayor on January 15". On February 2nd, 2009, Council adopted its 2009 Capital program for the General Fund which included a cost - shared $1.2 million project (City budget $400,000) for preliminary design of a piped (pressurized) stormwater diversion system with a full cost benefit analysis of such a system for the Marsh Creek Basin, and detailed design. On May 4", 2009, a specific funding application for the diversion project ($18 million) was submitted. A copy of the Mayor's letter is attached. On June 1 ", 2009, Council authorized the engagement of the Terrain Group to undertake a preliminary design and cost - benefit analysis for Marsh Creek stormwater diversion.4 Staff was made to understand over the past summer that the project was given serious consideration for stimulus funding; but, the need for an EIA could not assure completion by March 201 1 . 4 Engineering Design Services: Marsh Creek Drainage Basin — Piped Stormwater Diversion System, City of Saint John, Report to Common Council, M & C 2009 — 159 dated May 28th, 2009 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - MARSH CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 282 Stormwater Management - Marsh Creek Drainage Basin November 51, 2009 Report to Common Council, M &C 2009 - 361 Page 6 On August 4", 2009, Council was updated in a reports on the status of the diversion project and informed of a Public Information Session to be held for area residents and business owners on August 12". Among the report's recommendations adopted by Common Council was one that Council be prepared: "... to consider a recommendation on the actual project, subject to technical and financial feasibility, affordability in the context of overall municipal priorities, and required cost - sharing with the other two levels of government'. The public meeting was well attended, with a presentation on the diversion concept by staff and consultants, an overview of pipe routing and information on the environmental impact assessment process. Although many people and interests want to see the project go ahead, not everyone is supportive. These different interests will need to be duly weighed in making a final determination on whether or not to proceed with the project. A draft of the Preliminary Design and Cost - Benefit Analysis report on the Stormwater Diversion System was presented to staff in September. It has been reviewed in detail and comments, with requested clarifications, will soon be going back to the consultants. The final report on Preliminary Design and Cost - Benefit Analysis is expected in December. Environmental Impact Assessment In order to implement a diversion system to reduce the risk of flooding in the Marsh Creek area, the New Brunswick Department of Environment ( NBENV) has determined that the project must undergo an environmental impact assessment (EIA) in accordance with requirements of the New Brunswick Clean Environment Act. An extensive registration document, prepared on behalf of the City, was submitted to NBENV by staff on September 18", 2009 The EIA process will take some months to complete and will give specific guidance on project implementation. Hurricane Hannah - September 2008 In addition to extensive roadway damage around the community, the remnants of Hurricane Hannah caused extensive flooding in Glen Falls and the Marsh Creek basin on Sunday, September 7", 2008. The storm saw a 145 mm of rain (nearly 6 inches) fall on in just over 12 hours between 10:00 pm Saturday and 11:00 am Sunday. The intense rains generated heavy runoff that overwhelmed natural systems, stormwater and sanitary sewage infrastructure. The deluge also resulted in overflowed stream banks, considerable erosion and damages to private and public property.' 5 Marsh Creek Drainage Basin: Piped Stormwater Diversion System, City of Saint John, Report to Common Council, M & C 2009 - 219 dated July 27th, 2009 6 Emergency Repairs to Damaged Infrastructure, City of Saint John, Report to Common Council, M & C 2008 - 271 dated September 10th, 2008 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - MARSH CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 283 Stormwater Management - Marsh Creek Drainage Basin November 51, 2009 Report to Common Council, M &C 2009 - 361 Page 7 Tropical Storm Danny - August 2009 Another very significant rainfall event occurred during the weekend of August 29"-30" 2009, causing flooding incidents across the community, including a serious episode in Glen Falls. While the total rainfall amount of 107 mm and severity of damages did not approach what occurred in September 2008, there was a repeat of widespread incidents of localized flooding of basements, yards, and surcharged storm and sanitary sewer systems. Whereas Hanna may have been regarded as an isolated incident of unusual severity, there is growing belief that the frequency of very heavy rains is increasing; that climate change is very much affecting global weather patterns. Citizens and business interests adversely impacted by the heavy runoff and increased groundwater levels, by surcharging sanitary and storm sewer pipes, are becoming increasingly concerned. They are seeking to have these effects minimized or eliminated. Heavy Rains - October 2009 Again, less than two months after the flooding from Tropical Strom Danny, Saint ,John was hit by another major rainfall through the night of October 24t " -25". A total of at least 117.2 mm of rain fell, causing extensive flooding in the Marsh Creek basin. Homes and businesses were affected and roads closed, severely restricting movement of people and vehicles across East Saint ,John. The impact on Glen Falls was, in fact, more severe than the previous two flooding events. Citizens and business owners are looking for help; asking for something to be done. (A separate report will cover storm impacts in other areas.) SUMMARY The storm drainage challenges facing our community are substantial. Dealing effectively with those, including the flooding in Glen Falls, calls for a thorough understanding of the "problem ". Infrastructure measures are expensive to construct and require funding to maintain. The investments to be made in drainage management also need to integrate, as much as possible, with natural systems - as called for in Saint ,John's sustainability principles; to "respect Saint John's natural ecosystems" and to "model the development of Saint John on the characteristics of natural systems ". Council will need to determine the level of investment it believes appropriate to best balance its desire to protect people and property, with the reality of available fiscal capacity and where in the city that investment will have the greatest net impact. Also, there has to be a corresponding funding for ongoing system operation and maintenance. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - MARSH CREEK DRAINAGE BASIN 284 Stormwater Management - Marsh Creek Drainage Basin November 51, 2009 Report to Common Council, M &C 2009 - 361 Page 8 In addition to the diversion system, other measures under consideration include: ca Replacement of the triple culverts at the CN rail crossing of Marsh Creek with a bridge; ca Either operable sluice gates at the Courtney Bay Causeway or, alternatively, a high flow low head pumping station; ca Possible future construction of a levee at the Causeway capable of holding back high tide plus a 2.0 metre storm surge and wave action; and ca Setting controls over future development in the Marsh Creek watershed; safe elevations for structures and restrictions on any further impingement or encroachment on the Marsh Creek channel itself. The City will also be working closely with ACAP Saint ,John to support their efforts to improve Marsh Creek area wetlands and their water handling capacity. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the process underway to evaluate the requirements, technical and environmental feasibility, and costs of a Marsh Creek Stormwater Diversion System continue; and that Common Council receive and file this report.

Staff has been engaged in a variety of follow up activities in these areas and there have been a number of developments since staff reported on the impact of "Danny ". This report will update Council on where things stand generally with emphasis on drainage basins listed below - there is a separate report on this Council agenda dealing with the Marsh Creek/Glen Falls basin: 1. Honeysuckle /Sherbrooke /Manawagonish Creek Basin >28 properties 2. Milford /Randolph Drainage Basin >35 properties 3. Meadowbank/Kenn Drive /Beach Crescent Basin > 10 properties 4. Brentwood /Woodward Drainage Basin >25 properties 5. Westgate /Glenwood Drainage Basin 3 properties & street 6. Sea Street Estates 2 properties & street 7. Newmans Brook Drainage Basin > 10 properties 8. Various Individual Properties > 40 properties ANALYSIS "TS Danny" dropped 107 mm of rain on Saint John and generated large volumes of runoff that overwhelmed many natural systems and components of storm water infrastructure (ditches, culverts, storm sewers), and sanitary sewers. The result was overflowed stream banks, flooding, erosion and damages to private and public property. Since then there have been two more significant rainfall events — September 28 -29 (57.1 mm) and October 24 -25 (117 mm) and a total of 348.4 mm of rain on top of the 168.9 mm received in August. Oddly, some previously 289 M & C 2009- 365 November 4, 2009 Page 2 affected properties did not report flooding in the latest event in October but flooding did occur in other "new" areas. The City has proceeded to deal with drainage issues in a coordinated fashion on many fronts. A database of affected properties reporting flooding has been compiled by staff and arranged by drainage basin. A staff engineer has been assigned as the primary contact for each drainage basin and a group of individual properties. In areas where engineering studies have been recently completed, are underway, or are scheduled, the engineering consultants doing these studies have been engaged to follow up directly with affected property owners to gather pertinent information. In the remaining cases, a number of staff from across Municipal Operations and Engineering has been following up to understand the causes of the problems and to take appropriate steps, where possible, to deal with them. While many activities have been undertaken, attention has been focused on first those drainage basins identified below where sanitary sewer back -ups and basement flooding have resulted from overwhelming runoff A brief synopsis on each of these and other affected drainage basins is provided. DRAINAGE BASINS Honeysuclde /Sherbrooke /Manawa�4onish Creek • Basin identified in the 2008 Stormwater Management Strategy as a priority for study. • Flooding reported after TSD "Hanna" in September 2008 (145 mm in 12 hr) o Inspection - videoing of lines; repairs to damaged storm sewer pipe in Meadowland subdivision. • $250,000 in funding approved by Council in 2009 Capital Program for engineering study. • $300,000 approved by Council for storm sewer separation on Bleury Street; design completed, ready for tender. • Engineering consultant engaged in July 2009 to study the systems in this basin. • TS Danny resulted in basement flooding — via sanitary sewer back -ups in low lying sections of some Plateau streets (sewer surcharging); storm sewer surcharge on Honeysuckle Drive. • Affected properties visited by consultant for information; four interim memos tabled indicating findings and initial recommendations; meeting between staff and consultant on initial findings and next phase and analysis. • Flow meters installed; further system modeling ongoing by consultant. • Capital projects identified for recommendation in 2010 and beyond. • "Update" prepared for distribution to affected property owners • Results of study expected by December; public meeting will be scheduled when these are received 290 M & C 2009- 365 November 4, 2009 Page 3 Milford /Randolph Drainage Basin • Basin identified in the 2008 Stormwater Management Strategy as a priority for study. • Flooding reported after TSD "Hanna" in September 2008 (145 mm in 12 hr) o Inspection - line videoing and root cutting in some lines. • Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) study report tabled November 2008 as part of "Harbour Clean Up" Program • $250,000 in funding approved by Council in 2009 Capital Program for engineering study. • Engineering consultant engaged in July 2009 to study the systems in this basin. • TS Danny resulted in basement flooding — via sanitary back -ups in most affected homes (sewer surcharging). • Affected properties visited by consultant for information; • Public meeting held on October 8, Milford Community Center, to advise on current status and next steps. • Initial findings - quite a few cross connections and catch basins on the sanitary, as well as a lot of homes with drain tile and roof leaders connected. • Sanitary lines all being videoed by consultant; some have been flushed • Flow meters installed; further system modeling ongoing by consultant • Capital projects identified for recommendation in 2010 & beyond. • "Update" prepared for distribution to affected property owners. • Results of study expected in early December; public meeting will be scheduled when these are received. Mead owbank/Kenneb ecasi s Drive /Beach Crescent • Reports of basement flooding came in from several homes in this area of Millidgeville during and subsequent to Tropical Storm "Hanna ", 2008 and again in "Danny ", 2009. • Some flushing and video work done on lines in 2008; basin not previously identified as a concern but added as a priority after "Danny" • Issues appear to be connected with surcharging sanitary sewer systems. Staff attended at a number of the homes affected and engaged an engineering firm to conduct interviews and gather information from homeowners. • Homeowner interviews completed and videoing and flushing of sanitary undertaken by staff • RFP for a study of this area prepared by staff, early approval of study for 2010 capital budget sought and obtained from Council. • Capital projects identified for 2010 and beyond. • "Update" prepared for distribution to affected property owners. Brentwood /Woodward Drainage Basin • Council has approved a number of measures for this drainage basin relating back to longstanding concerns in Brentwood Crescent with storm sewer capacity and surcharging 291 M & C 2009- 365 November 4, 2009 Page 4 • Studies undertaken 2006, 2008; remedial measures identified; a small initial project completed in 2008. • Rider sewer budgeted and scheduled for tender 2009; for completion in 2010. • Further remedial measures for storm water management being finalized; funding will need to be allocated. • Sanitary back -ups identified in TS "Danny" for the first time in another part of the basin. Westgate /Glenwood Drainage Basin • Serious flooding was first experienced in June 2006 in West Side Estates. • An engineering study was commissioned and completed, • An extensive amount of remedial storm water management work was undertaken by the City of Saint John at the east end of the drainage basin (Glenwood Drive), • Agreement was reached with NB Southern Railway for the company to replace a substandard and deteriorating culvert and work was completed earlier this fall, bringing to completion all of the remedial measures recommended in the engineering study. • RFP for Westgate section of drainage basin has to be completed and awarded. Sea Street Estates • Flooding first noted in 2006 as a result of inadequate storm water drainage systems. • Discussions with developer and developer's consultant regarding problems /solutions. • City commissioned a review in 2008 of the storm sewer systems, pre- existing and newly constricted, to develop solutions. • Budget placed in 2009 program to complete design and initiate remedial work. • Recommended solutions recently received; meeting scheduled with developer to review. • Initial phase of work ready for tender. Newmans Brook Drainage Basin • Work has been ongoing since 2008 to separate storm from sanitary as part of the "Harbour Clean Up" Project. • More work budgeted and planned for 2009 and beyond in the capital program. • Properties affected by TS Danny runoff — flooded basements. • Engineering consultant on current projects engaged to follow up on individual properties and gather information from owners. Various Individual Properties • Most of the other individual properties reporting flooding as a result of TS "Danny" have been visited and /or their owners interviewed by staff in order to better understand the probable cause, whether systemic or not. 292 M & C 2009- 365 November 4, 2009 Page 5 • Some maintenance work completed where symptoms can be alleviated (eg water rolls to direct surface water; maintenance ditching or culvert replacement, repairs to washed out areas) • High groundwater levels have been the problem in many isolated cases; may or may not be easily addressed by the homeowner or assisted by the municipality. • Some apparent system issues referred to consultant for follow up /recommendation. • Some systemic problems have been identified in the most recent storm on October 24 -25. For example sanitary sewer backs in Champlain Heights will require further review. CONCLUSION Tropical Storm Danny brought heavy rainfall (107mm) and produced incidents of flooded properties similar to that associated with Hurricane Hanna (145 mm) one year ago. Considered along with a 78 mm rainfall in February of 2009 and the recent storms on September 28 -29 (57.1 mm) and October 24 -25 (117 mm) it is apparent that incidents of heavy rainfall are increasing. The information provided in the foregoing makes clear that considerable work is required on storm and sanitary sewer systems and privately in individual homes in order to deal with the effects of seemingly more severe rainfall events. Council will see an increased emphasis on storm water management projects not only for the above drainage basins but for Marsh Creek and other areas such as the Mill Creek in Lorneville and Brothers Cove on Kennebecasis Drive. Solutions will be costly and cannot be implemented quickly. Remedial projects will take time to properly design and implement in a multi -year approach. It is important that affected residents be kept informed about the issues generally and as work proceeds. General information on the flooding issue will be posted on the City website, update memos will be sent to affected property owners in priority drainage basins, and public meetings will be arranged to share information and findings of engineering studies when available. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Common Council receive and file this report. Respectfi lly submitted, J. M. Paul Groody, P. Eng. Commissioner Municipal Operations & Engineering 293 J.

The purpose of the amendment is to adopt the newest edition of the National Building Code of Canada, being the 2005 edition, as required by the Province of New Brunswick. After the passing of first and second reading of the Building By -law amendment, it became apparent that the required amendments to the legislation had not been adopted by the Province of New Brunswick which would enable the City to adopt the 2005 edition of the National Building Code of Canada. Since that time, the necessary amendments have been made by the Province to the National Building Code Designation Regulation Metric C onvervion Act, to designate the National Building Code of Canada 2005 and any amendments made to it as the code referred to in any reference to the National Building Code of Canada contained in a Building By -law. Now that the required legislation amendments have been made, Council is in a position to give third reading to the Building By -law amendment. 295 M & C 2009 — 368 - 2 - November 5, 2009 RECOMMENDATION Your Acting City Manager recommends that third reading be given to the attached "A By -law to Amend a By -law Respecting the Constriction, Repair and Demolition of Buildings and Strictures in the City of Saint John ".

Province of New Brunswick, City of Saint John et all Common Council at its meeting of October 26th last referred to me questions raised in correspondence from Mr. Frank Rodgers dated October 20, 2009. The latter was precipitated by an article in the Telegraph Journal which quoted the Attorney General respecting the settlement of the action brought by Erin Walsh against a number of defendants including a former Crown Prosecutor, the Province of New Brunswick, the City of Saint John and several Chiefs of Police of the Saint John Police Force. The author of the correspondence, without revealing the basis for his doing so, presumes: (1) that public funds have been committed by the City to a settlement of the action; and (2) that the City has authorized its "signing officers to execute any settlement" of the action. It is against that backdrop that five questions were posed. They will be dealt with in the order asked: "I. With the Police Force absolved of any wrongdoing, under what heading is the City of Saint John liable for any part of the settlement?" A This question presumes that the City is liable for some part of the settlement. That presumption is incorrect. The City is not liable for any part of the settlement. The City of Saint John has neither made nor is it expected to make any financial contribution toward the settlement. lr %V SAINT JOHN 11 &� P.O. Box 1971 Saint John, NB Canada E2L 4L1 I www.saintjohn.ca I C.P. 1971 Saint John, N. -B, Canada E2L 4L1 298 Common Council November 6, 2009 Re: Erin Walsh Settlement City Solicitor Page 2 T. If the settlement turned on the fact `that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred' what amount did the City contribute to the overall settlement commensurate to the miscarriage of justice ?" A The City in its Statement of Defence and throughout the proceedings denied the plaintiff's allegation of misconduct by the Saint John Police Force or its members and thus rejected the proposition that it bore any liability in the matter. The answer to Question #1 is applicable to this question. "3. Who negotiated and provided the legal input into this settlement on behalf of the City ?" A The City's insurers were bound by a duty to defend and did so according to the provisions of the relevant insurance policies. Those policies provided, as is the norm, that the insurer has exclusive decision making authority respecting the conduct of the proceedings, including settlement thereof. As City Solicitor I was kept fully informed in a timely manner of the events leading to the settlement. "4. What legal authority is the City relying on to keep its settlement amount from the public, when the Municipalities Act states, that `Except as provided by regulation, no agreement, contract, deed or other document made or issued after January 1, 1967 to which. a municipality is a party has any force or effect unless it is (a) sealed with the corporate seal of the municipality, and (b) signed by the Mayor and Clerk. " A This question also, is based upon the incorrect presumption that the City provided funds towards settlement. If municipal funds were to be used then indeed that could only have occurred with a Council resolution adopted at an open public meeting of Common Council authorizing such an expenditure. You may recall the City encountered a similar situation in 2004 with respect to a number of civil actions brought against it and the amounts of settlement were approved by Common Council in open session. ... 13 299 Common Council November 6, 2009 Re: Erin Walsh Settlement City Solicitor Page 3 "5. What authority is the City relying on to authorize the City's signing officers to execute any settlement outside of a duly constituted public meeting ?" A This question rests upon the presumption that the City's signing officers have been authorized to execute a "settlement ". That also is an incorrect presumption. The City has neither executed nor is it expected to execute any settlement documentation. Respectfully Submitted, John . Nugent City Solicitor 300 November 6, 2.009 Common Council of The City of Saint John Your Worship and Councillors: Re: Winter Management Plan for Streets and Sidewalks By-Law Amendments At its meeting on October 26, 2009, Council resolved to: rr 3. Adopt Winter Street Parking Restrictions, as set out in this report, as policy of Common Council, and be prepared to adopt associated by-law changes, and. 4. Prohibit the dumping of snow and ice on public streets and sidewalks, as outlined in this report, as a policy of Common Council, and be prepared to adopt associated by- law changes." I prepared a report dated March 26, 2009, which Council considered at its meeting on March 30, 2009 in this respect. Attached to this report is a copy of my March 26, 2009 report. Attached to my March report were an amendment to the Streets BY-Law and an amendment to the Traffic By-Law which gave effect to the "Winter Management Plan for Streets and Sidewalks" outlined in the City Manager report dated February 12, 2009 (M&C 2009-31). Council gave first and second reading to these amendments at its meeting on March 30, 2009, and subsequently tabled the matter. Common Council November 6, 2009 Re: Winter Management Plan for Streets and Sidewalks — By-Law Amendments City Solicitor Page 2 1. Depositing of Snow and Ice on City Streets and Sidewalks The attached amendment to the Streets By-Law was given first and second reading on March 30, 2009. There were no amendments made to it since. As I stated in my March 26, 2009 report, this amendment will result in prohibiting that one place or cause to be placed snow or ice on the travelled portion of streets or sidewalks. It will also provide for the desired minimum fine of $200 and maximum fine of $500 for a violation of said prohibition. It also adds a definition of the word "sidewalk" to section lof the by-law. Common Council may, if it so wishes, give third reading to this amendment by title. 2. Winter On-Street Parkinq Also attached to my March 26, 2009 report was an amendment to the Traffic By-Law that resulted in prohibiting the parking of vehicles on any street in the City, except those listed in Schedule "R" (which included the south-central peninsula, for example, as the snow ban provision in the by- law already deals with these streets) between the hours of 00:01 and 7,00 between November 15 and April 15 of each year. The hours stated in the amendment do away with the requirement of having to place signs giving notice of the traffic regulation. This amendment also contained a provision that repealed the then section 26, which deals with the amount of the fines for violating the by-law, and replaced it with a new section 26, containing higher fines. As Council tabled the Snow Plan item, and the increase in fines had nothing to do with the Snow Plan, the Parking Commission wrote to Council last May asking that Council increase the fines. I submitted a report to Council in this respect dated May 29, 2009 with attached amendment to the Traffic By-Law and the Parking Meter By-Law increasing the fines. Council considered this report at its June 1st, 2009 meeting and gave first and second reading to these amendments on that date. It gave them, third reading at its next meeting. 302 Common Council November 6, 2009 Re: Winter Management Plan for Streets and Sidewalks — By-Law Amendments City Solicitor Page 3 Consequently, the attached amendment was modified since the March 30, 2009 meeting to remove the reference to section 26. It was also amended to address the special circumstances related to Douglas Ave., as stated in the City Manager's report dated October 20, 2009 (M&C 2009-352). The attached amendment excludes Douglas Ave. from the Winter On- Street Parking Restriction, and allows bi-weekly alternate side parking for the majority of Douglas Ave. Section 12(3) of the Municipalities Act provides that: "A proposed by-law may be amended at any time prior to third reading by title." Common Council may, if it so wishes, give third reading by title to the attached amendment to the Traffic By-Law. Respectfully Submitted, V (LI Jo L.

The Committee considered the attached report at its October 20, 2009 meeting. This letter deals with the proposed subdivision. It should be noted that the Committee's recommendation with respect to the rezoning of the property was the subject of a separate letter from the Committee to Council. Captain Brice Smith, on behalf of the Church Army in Canada, attended the meeting and indicated that he was in agreement with the Staff Report and its recommendations. Mr. Lodhi asked the applicant if he had consulted with the neighbours, and if he had considered drainage matters. The applicant responded that he had not; however staff responded to indicate that normal notification was given to neighbours within 100 metres of the subject property, and that drainage matters can be addressed in the normal manner when a Building Permit for development is received. No one else appeared before the Committee in respect of the application and no letters were received. After taking into consideration staff s report and the comments made by the applicant, the Committee adopted the recommendation in the Staff Report: RECOMMENDATION: 1. That Common Council assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or more phases, for the Forest Hills Estates Subdivision, as generally illustrated on the submitted tentative plan dated June 22, 2009, including any necessary municipal services and public utility easements. 2. That Common Council accept a cash -in -lieu Land for Public Purposes dedication for this proposed subdivision. 315 Respectfully submitted, Stephen Horgan Chairman NG Project No. 09 -259 -2- 316 DATE: OCTOBER 16, 2009 TO: PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FROM: PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FOR: MEETING OF OCTOBER 20, 2009 SUBJECT: Name of Applicant: Name of Owner: Location: Nayan Gandhi, MCIP, RPP Planner The Church Army in Canada The Church Army in Canada 105 Mountain View Drive PID: 55165716 Municipal Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: Existing: "IL -2" Major Institutional Proposed: "R -2" One and Two Family Residential Proposal: To rezone the land to enable a residential subdivision development consisting of four lots Type of Application: Rezoning. JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE: 317 The Church Armv in Canada 105 Mountain View Drive Page 2 October 17, 2009 The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council concerning proposed amendments to the Zoning By -law. Common Council will consider the Committee's recommendation at a public hearing on Monday, October 26, 2009. The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common Council concerning the subdivision of land, including the assent of streets, land for public purposes, and municipal services and public utility easements, as well as cost sharing for piping materials outside the limits of the subdivision, and the authorization of City /Developer Subdivision Agreements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE: 1. That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 3,270 square metres, located at 105 Mountain View Drive, also identified as being a portion of PID No. 55165716, from "IL -2" Major Institutional to "R -2" One and Two Family Residential. 2. That Common Council assent to one or more subdivision plans, in one or more phases, for the Forest Hills Estates Subdivision, as generally illustrated on the submitted tentative plan dated June 22, 2009, including any necessary municipal services and public utility easements. That Common Council accept a cash -in -lieu Land for Public Purposes dedication for this proposed subdivision. BACKGROUND The property located at 105 Mountain View Drive was rezoned by Common Council from "RS- 2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to "IL -2" Major Institutional on June 26th, 2001. A number of Section 39 conditions were attached to the rezoning which relate to: restricting the use to a church, church school and associated residence; requiring the provision of sanitary services to be connect to the city system; the proposal be developed and maintained in accordance with a detailed site plan; parking and driveway areas are to be paved; site drainage be in accordance with an approved detailed plan; payment to the City for curbing and street related improvements; the provision of landscaping on the front of the property; and all public utilities be provided underground. An additional parcel was also rezoned from "RS -2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to "IL -2" Major Institutional on August 13, 2009 and amalgamated with the property located at 105 Mountain View Drive (now part of the subject site). 318 The Church Armv in Canada 105 Mountain View Drive INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Municipal Operations and Engineering provides the following comments: • Municipal water and sewer is available. • All applicable permits must be obtained by the developer /contractor. • It is assumed the driveway for Lot 61 will be on Carlile Crescent Building and Technical Services has no objection to the proposed rezoning. Page 3 October 17, 2009 Leisure Services would prefer to receive a cash -in -lieu payment instead of any Land for Public Purposes dedication. Real Estate Division has indicated that a cash -in -lieu payment would be more acceptable than Land for Public Purposes. Saint John Fire Department has no objections to this proposal. Saint John Transit advises that it provides significant service on Mountain View Drive with the Champlain Lakewood bus. Saint John Energy has been advised of the proposal. Aliant Telecom has no issues with this application. We will work jointly with the developer and SJ Energy as this development transpires. GIS Division has been advised of this application.

Enbridge Gas N.B. has been advised of the application. ANALYSIS: Site and Neighbourhood The subject site is located at the corner of Mountain View Drive and Carlile Crescent in the Forest Hills area of East Saint John, and forms part of the land associated with The Church Army in Canada educational and institutional complex located at 105 Mountain View Drive (see site 319 The Church Armv in Canada 105 Mountain View Drive Page 4 October 17, 2009 location plan). The site has an area of approximately 3,270 square metres (35,198 square feet) and extends from Mountain View Drive northernly along Carlile Crescent. Two dwellings are located on the northern end of the property, facing onto Carlile Crescent, which are associated with the Church Army complex and given the civic addresses of 20 and 24 Carlile Crescent respectively. The rest of the subject site is vacant mostly covered with mature vegetation. The remaining portion of 105 Mountain View Drive will remain with the Church Army in Canada and will be used as part of their educational and institutional complex on the property. Immediately to the west of the subject site is the new Forest Hills residential subdivision along Carlile Crescent, which has recently been developed and is currently zoned "R -2" One and Two Family Residential. A higher density area is located in this subdivision, but faces onto Mountain View Drive. There is some vacant land located immediately across Mountain View Drive from the subject site, although some of this has been recently subject of a rezoning proposal with a view of being developed for two - family dwellings and apartment /condominium buildings. The Highmeadow Park and Silver Falls residential areas are located in the near vicinity of the subject site. The recently developed Canada Revenue Agency offices are located at the intersection of Mountain View and McAllister Drives. The Proposal The applicant has requested that the subject site be rezoned from "IL -2" Major Institutional to "R -2" One and Two Family Residential in order to eventually permit a proposed subdivision of the subject land for up to four residential lots (see submitted site plan). The applicant has indicated that the purpose of this undertaking is to raise fiinds for their continued operations on site and elsewhere. Any subdivision may take place individually or in whole at a later date. Municipal Plan Direction The subject site and surrounding area are designated Low Density Residential by the Municipal Plan. The Plan's policies for low density residential areas provide for a wide range of housing, including one and two - family dwellings. The proposed rezoning is therefore consistent with the Municipal Plan. Proposed Rezoning The applicant proposes to create four two - family lots (for up to 8 units) fronting on the north side of Carlile Drive; indeed, two of the proposed lots already contain dwelling units which are currently associated with the rest of the site's institutional use but may be sold off in the future. The proposed rezoning to enable this is consistent with the residential zoning of the neighbouring 320 The Church Armv in Canada 105 Mountain View Drive Page 5 October 17, 2009 properties. It also seeks to bring into use under- utilised previously developed land, which accords with sustainable practices. Its location adjacent to Mountain View Drive, which functions as a residential collector off of a major arterial, results in traffic not having to pass through residential streets. In any event, there is public transit services running along Mountain View Drive and connect the future properties with significant commercial and employment areas, including McAllister Mall and East Point Shopping Centre, and therefore opportunities exist for future residents to travel by sustainable modes of transport. The development concept indicated on the tentative subdivision plan includes sufficient area for each proposed lot and staff can envisage a way of developing dwellings on the vacant lots in which all minimum requirements of the Zoning By -law. The two lots (labelled Lot 63 and 64) which already contain dwellings will meet the minimum requirements based on information set out in the enclosed plan. The proposed rezoning can therefore be supported. The proposed subdivision of the site will require a minimum land for public purposes dedication of 6% in accordance with the Subdivision By -law, and this would result in a total LPP requirement of 196.2 square metres ( (0.05 acres) for this development. However, based on consultation responses from Leisure Services and the Real Estate Division, both departments would prefer a cash -in -lieu payment as it is considered that there is sufficient LPP dedications in the area arising from the wider Forest Hills subdivision to meet any demands. As such, in addition to Common Council giving its approval of the proposed rezoning, the proposal requires the following approvals to facilitate the subdivision when it comes forward: • Common Council assent to accepting a cash -in -lieu payment instead of land for public purposes (LPP), the amounts of which will be determined at a later date when the applicant decides to proceed with subdividing the property; and • Common Council assent to any necessary municipal services easements and public utility easements. CONCLUSION: The proposed development will be consistent with the neighbourhood in an area that is designated for this type of residential development and therefore planning staff recommend approval. The recommendation includes all the necessary assents and approvals for the proposed subdivision.

The Board administers the City's Pension Plan in accordance with the provisions of the City of Saint John Pension Act, the Provincial Pension Benefits Act and the Federal Income Tax Act. The City's Pension Plan is a defined benefit program with employee contributions set at 8.5% of gross earnings. In an effort to assist in funding the Going Concern Unfunded Liability of the Plan the employees have agreed to increase their contribution by an additional 2% for three years or until such time as the Plan's going- concern funding shortfall is eliminated whichever is sooner. In addition at no time during the three year period shall employee contributions be greater than contributions from the Employer. The employer contributions to the pension fund are an amount equal to the excess of the total current service cost of the pension plan for the year over the aggregate contributions made by members for that year and such additional amounts as are required to amortize any unfunded liability in equal annual installments over a period of not more than fifteen years commencing on the later of January 1, 1992 and the date of the actuarial valuation which establishes the unfunded liability. SAINT JOJHN RO. Box 1971 Saint John, NB Canada E2L 4L1 I wwwsaintjohn.ca C.P. 1971 Saint John, N.-B. Canada E2L 40 324 2008 Annual Report of the City Saint John Pension Plan Page 2 Based on the 2006 Actuarial Valuation the total cost to fund the Pension Plan for 2008 is 26.52% of gross earnings (2007 — 26.52 %). This consists of a current service for 2008 of 20.32 % (2007 — 20.32 %) and funding of the going concern unfunded liability for 2008 of 6.26 % (2007 — 6,26 %). As of December 31, 2006 the Going Concern Unfunded Liability was $31,01.4,900 (2003 - $43,547,200). 'The Pension Benefits Act requires an evaluation to be done on at least a triennial basis. The next formal valuation for the plan is required to be completed as at December 31, 2009. A copy of the 2008 Audited Financial Statements is attached with this report. The net assets of the Plan at December 31, 2008 were $282,474,371 (2007 - $367,307,511). These funds are invested by the Board in accordance with an established investment policy and in consultation with the Board's investment consultant API Asset Management Inc. Contributing to this lower value of net assets of the plan at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 was a significant decline in the market value of the plan's assets resulting from investment and economic declines, particularly in the 4 1 quarter of 2008. It is worth noting that as of August 31, 2009 the market value of the portfolio had made a substantial recovery standing at $316,596,947. In terms of the 2008 audited financial statements an extrapolation of the 2006 actuarial valuation was completed by the actuary based on the assumptions in effect at the time the valuation was completed. The extrapolation was updated for changes in the plan in the current year related to increases in the liability based on additional service earned by the employees along with investment earnings and payments to pensioners. The result of the extrapolation is an estimated going- concern unfunded liability of as at December 31, 2008 of $150,573,224 (2007 - $46,894,889). This increase in the extrapolated value of the unfunded liability is primarily the result the significant economic crisis that the world economy suffered in 2008. The plan suffered a decline in value of 21.5% versus the actuarial rate of return of 6.75 %. INVESTMENT POhLICY The funds assets are managed by seven investment managers with an asset mix of 25% Canadian Fixed Income and short-term/cash, 30% Canadian Equities, 5% US Equities, 10% in Real Estate, 5% International Equities, and 25 %o in Alternative Investments. The Board is always in the process of reviewing and updating its Investment Policy to ensure that the long -term funding needs of the plan can be achieved. As has been the case in 2006 and 2007 one area of continued interest to the Board is the increasing popularity of alternate investments that offer more stable returns. The desirability of these types of investments is that they have the potential to offer reasonable investment returns that are not in any way affected by the ups and downs in the stock market or other investment markets. This would greatly add to the diversity of the Fund's Investments and the Board has decided in 2004 that it would like to see up to 35% of its portfolio in this type of investments. 325 2008 Annual Report of the City Saint John Pension Plan Page 3 INVESTMENT MANAGER PERFORMANCE As previously stated in this report the plan experienced a 21.5% decline in the market value of the assets. The returns for the year were below our long -term targeted return of CPI plus 3.85 %o which for 2008 equated to a 5.4% (2007 — 6.2 %) return and lower than our actuarial funding assumption of 6.75 %. In terms of investment return 2009 has been a very positive year with the year -to -date performance exceeding 16 % as of September 30, 2001. The Pension Plan's assets are managed by seven professional investment firms as follows: Fixed Income - Real Estate - Canadian Equity — Addenda Capital - Standard Life — Kingwest - Letko Brosseau - US Equity --- Steinberg Asset Management - EAFE Equity — Philadelphia Investments - Hedge Funds - Performance Market Hedge Fund The Board of Trustees meets with each of the Investment Managers twice a year to review their performance and discuss emerging trends in the investment markets. The Board also retains API Asset Performance Inc. to provide an analysis of our manager's performance in comparison with other managers with similar holdings. BOARD GOVERNANCE As highlighted in the 2006 report a governance review was completed in November 2006. The purpose of the review was to highlight best practices with respect to pension governance and then compare and modify current practices, where necessary, to move towards these best practices. This is a work in progress. A work plan has been prepared and changes are being implemented. ACTIVE AND RETIRED PARTICIPANTS The number of active participants in the Plan was 890 (2007 — 877) while the number of retired participants stands at 767 (2007 — 742). The impact of the high percentage of pensioners in relation to active members is reflected in the current fund balances as detailed in the Pension Fund's Annual Financial Statements. In 2007 the total contributions into the Plan from employees were $5,773,958 (2007 - $5,185,327) and from the employer $9,034,046 (2007 - $8,756,425). Total pensions paid in the year were $18,982,852 (2007 - $17,845,216). 326 2008 Annual Report of the City Saint John Pension Plan Page 4 BOARD OF TRUSTEES The members of the Board of Trustees as at December 31, 2008 were as follows: Trustee Appointing Body Deputy Mayor Stephen Chase Common Council Councillor Bruce Court Common Council Pat Hogan Outside Workers — CUPE Local 18 John Nugent Management/non-union staff Bill Buckley Inside Workers — CUPE Local 486 Frederick Slipp Firefighters — IAFF Local 771 Andrew Belyea J.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Plan as at December 31, 2008 and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

YL _ 1U_ U_.,, The City of Saint John - Pension Plan [the "Plan "] is the accumulation of Plan assets used to fund pensions under the revised City of Saint John .Pension Act [the "Act "] as enacted on May 12, 1994, as amended to June 18, 2008. The Act is administered by a Board of Trustees representing Common Council of The City of Saint John [the "City"], management, unionized employees, non - unionized employees and retired employees. The Plan is also subject to the provisions of the New Brunswick Pension Benefits Act which became effective January 1, 1992. The assets of the Plan are held by RBC Dexia Investor Services, which acts as custodian of the Plan. The assets of the Plan are managed by seven different investment managers who have discretionary investment authority within the investment mandates given to them by the Board of Trustees. The performance of the Plan relative to others is measured on a regular basis by API Asset Performance Inc. Significant features of the Plan are as follows: ■ The Plan provides for pensions on the defined benefit basis at the rate of 2% per year of service times the average of the three consecutive years of service having the highest salary. The Plan also provides for disability allowances and survivor benefits. • The Plan provides indexing at the rate of 1% per year on the basis of service between January 1, 1975 and December 31, 1952 and at the rate of 2 % after January 1, 1993. • The Plan is funded by eligible employees contributing 8.5% of salary and the employer contributing at least 7% of salary. The employer is obligated to make additional contributions, if necessary, to adequately amortize any unfunded liability or solvency deficiency. The employer is currently contributing at a rate of 15.08 %a of salary. Effective May 1, 2007, the employee contribution rate was changed from 8.5% of pensionable earnings to 10.5% of pensionable earnings. The additional 2.0% in employee contributions will be made until May 1, 2010, or to the date when the going - concern unfunded liability in the Plan has been eliminated, if that happens before May 1, 2010. *' Contributions become vested after two years. 333 A member firm of Ernst & Yrurj 6(00x# UMItod The City of Saint John — Pension Plan NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis and present the aggregate financial position of the Plan as a separate financial reporting entity independent of the sponsor and plan members. They are prepared to assist in reviewing the activities of the Plan for the fiscal period but they do not portray the funding requirements of the Plan or the benefit security of individual Plan members. Basis of valuation of investment assets Investments are stated at published market valuations which approximates fair value. Pooled funds and earnings Certain of the Plan's investments are held via units of pooled funds. Income earned on these funds is retained within the fund and reflected as part of the current period change in market value of investments. Market value approximates fair value. Foreign currency translation Investments denominated in United States [ "US "] dollars are translated at the year -end rate of exchange. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included as a component of the current period change in market value of investments. Hedging The Plan utilizes currency hedges to offset market fluctuations in its investments denominated in US dollars. At year end, the hedges are fair valued and recorded as an increase or decrease in the change in the value of market value of investments. Adoption of new accounting standard During the year, the Plan adopted The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants j "CICA "] Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments -- Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments — Presentation, which enhance disclosures about the significance of financial instruments to an entity's financial position and performance, the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments, and how an entity manages those risks. 21ER S &'1ly►ill'tii1.f Amembnr&rn of Emst S Yrwno GlobgUmtted 334 The City of Saint John — Pension Plan NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008 3. ACTUARIAL VALUATION [a] The 2006 actuarial valuation indicated the present value of accumulated plan benefits was $396,778,000 and the market value of net assets available to provide benefits was $365,763,100, with an estimated unfunded liability of $31,01.4,900 on a going concern basis. As of December 31, 2006, the liabilities on a solvency basis were $106,832,800 greater than the solvency assets. The significant actuarial assumptions adopted for purposes of the going - concern funding valuation in the 2006 actuarial report were as follows: • Retirement will occur at the earlier of age 65 or attainment of combined age and service of 88 years. This produces an average assumed retirement age of 58.6 years. • Valuation assets were taken as the market value of assets. The following are the assumed rates used in the valuation: Investment earnings rate 6.75 % per annum after investment fees Inflation rate 2.50% per annum Real rate of return 4.15 %o per annum Salary increases 3.00% per annum The projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used for purposes of the going - concern funding valuation. The benefit at retirement is projected for each member based on the assumed increases in earnings. Equal units of this projected benefit are assumed to accrue in each year of service. The present value of the portion of the projected benefit deemed to be accrued for service to the valuation date is calculated for each member based on the assumptions outlined above. The total accrued liability is the aggregate of the accrued liabilities determined for each individual member. The total accrued liability is then compared with the assets as at the valuation date to determine the surplus or unfunded liability at that date.

ACTUARIAL VALUATION [continued] Similarly, the present value of the portion of the projected benefit deemed to accrue in respect of the years of service following the valuation date is determined for each individual member. The total normal actuarial cost is equal to the sum of the individual normal actuarial costs so calculated for each member. The residual normal actuarial cost is the excess of the total normal actuarial cost over the member's required contributions. [b] Morneau Sobeco conducted an actuarial valuation of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and has extrapolated these results to December 31, 2008. The extrapolation indicated an estimated present value of accumulated plan benefits of $433,047,600 compared to market . value of net assets of $282,474,371 available to provide benefits, creating an estimated unfunded actuarial liability of $150,573,229. The cumulative changes in the present value of benefits on a going concern basis during 2008 were as follows: Actuarial present value of benefits at December 31, 2007 based on projected December 31, 2006 valuation results Value of benefits accrued in 2008 Pensions paid and lump -sum refunds and transfers in 2008 Net interest accrual Estimated actuarial present value of benefits at December 31, 2008 Market value of net assets at December 31, 2008 ]Estimated unfunded actuarial liability at December 31, 2008 414,202,400 10,921,900 (19,737,800) 27,661, I00 433,047,600 282,474,3 71 150,573,229 [c] During 2008, the City paid the Plan $2,623,662, which represented special funding and interest on a going concern basis [2007 - `64,358,454]. The City is required to make special going concern payments until 2018. [d] On December 21, 2007, the Regulations to the New Brunswick Pension Benefits Act were modified with the intention of requiring pension plans with a solvency ratio below 90% to file actuarial valuations annually (from the current triennial requirement). Although this requirement is likely to apply to the Plan, the Regulation did not specify the timing of the first such annual valuation. The Superintendent of Pensions had not given formal direction as to the timing of such first annual valuation as of the date of the financial statements.

SOLVENCY FUNDING EXEMPTION The New Brunswick Pension Benefits Act requires that a solvency deficiency be funded over a period of five years unless an exemption from making solvency special payments is granted by the Superintendent of Pensions. In 2007, this exemption from making solvency special payments to the Plan was sought and received. 5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Plan's financial instruments consist of cash and short-term notes, accounts receivable, temporary and long-term investments, accounts payable and amounts due from related parties. All items except investments are recorded at cost which, due to their nature and short-term maturities, approximate fair value. The Plan is subject to financial risks as a result of its investment activities. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, The Plan manages these financial risks in accordance with the New Brunswick Pension Benefits Act, applicable regulations, and the Plan's investment policies and procedures. The investments of the Plan are managed utilizing a balanced approach, where the Plan invests in bonds, stocks, pooled funds and real estate funds. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an investment will fluctuate because of changes in market process. In accordance with the Plan's policies, the Plan manages market risk by investing in diversified investments and utilizing fund performance managers. Market risk is comprised of the following: [a] Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk arises from investments that are denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the relative value of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar can result in a positive or negative effect on the fair value of investments. As at December 31, 2008, the Plan has equity investments denominated in foreign currencies through investments of pooled funds and direct equities.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [continued] The Plan utilizes currency hedges to minimize this risk to an approved percentage of these investments. The Plan's underlying currency exposures in Canadian dollars consist of the following: Impact of I% absolute change in foreign exchange rates Fair value on net assets Foreiin equities and pooled funds 60,170,582 601,706 The fair value of foreign investments is 22% of total fair value. [b] Interest gate risk Interest rate risk refers to the effect on the fair value or future cash flows of an investment due to fluctuations in interest rates. The Plan's interest rate exposure arises from its investment in bonds and fixed income pooled funds, where those funds have underlying investments in fixed income securities which are all denominated in Canadian dollars. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the PIan's bonds and fixed income pooled funds to possible change in bond yields. The impact was determined using the average rate expected on instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk. The duration measures the sensitivity of the price of financial instruments for every I% change in interest rates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [continued] [e] Price risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value of an investment will fluctuate because of changes in market prices [other than those arising from foreign currency or interest rate risk], whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual investment or factors affecting all securities traded in the market. This applies to all of the Plan's investments.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited, M&C 2009-360 October 30, 2009 His Worship Mayor Ivan Court And Members of Common Council Your Worship and Members of Council: SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO PARKING METER BY-LAW CHRISTMAS COURTESY VOUCHER PROGRAM BACKGROUND During the pre-Christmas period, December fato December 24, the City of Saint John provides for a twelve-minute extension for those who have had their metered parking time expire to promote shopping and visiting the uptown area during the Christmas season. ANALYSIS In the past this program involved bx'|evv enforcement officers aCt4a||v depositing a dime into expired parking meters which gave parking customers an additional twelve minutes time. However, this practice has been discontinued and a new practice has been implemented which includes granting a twelve-minute extension through the issuance of o "Courtesy Voucher" which records the date, time and license plate number of the vehicle to which a courtesy voucher is being issued. The courtesy voucher is placed on vehicles that have had their initial parking time expire. If the parking meter remains expired after the twelve-minute extension has expired, then a by-law enforcement officer may issue a parking ticket for overtime parking. While the twelve-minute extension will remain as part of the program, the wording of the by- law needs to be updated by removing the reference to "the deposit nf another $D.10 coin" and by adding reference to the issuance ofa courtesy voucher.

Note: Council s~ decision was based on information provided bw staff who: I. withheld our section 39 conditions from council kits and 2. provided information to councillors the project could not go across 10 King St. E. because the Province would not give up the land. The opposite was true and staff knew mfit according to the written letter from the Province to me "Appendix A". Our OPINION based on our Leinater Court experience is: with no functioning Non Profit Board two non city residents filled and dominated that vacuum. Two council motions required the board meet with us. VVe got Clifford Lawrence of Bloomfield and some lawyers. Public Funds available for the impoverished got spent without profit.
