Council then referred the item to th Manager and indicated a desire to have what has been called "Retail Drive" completed as possible. Staff has also reviewed the original Section .19 recommendations with a view to incorporating specific items introduced at th Public Hearing. Changes are theref( proposed to the conditions relating to blasting and additional conditions are being proposed to address the construction and Ian Iscaping proposed in the transition ai adjacent to the Oakland Street properties. Now THE TRAFFIC ISSUE: Council will note that staffs previous recommer dation did not require the completion of Drive until after this site had reached a point of I aving created 180,000 square feet of "ne space." It would be only at that point, when the leveloper would be required to complete construction from the proposed turn around beh' id Home Depot to Rothesay Avenue. The various traffic studies undertaken by ADI o this approach. The difficulty is that there is a "f far worse than is actually the case. The current has still not reached the levels that exist at major Halifax area, or at Champlain Place in Dieppe. completion of Retail Drive sooner, rather than 1, situation. It will not by itself solve the issue for HORIZON'S PROPOSED SOLUTION: El of Saint John as behalf of Horizon Management Ltd. sup ort ,rception" that traffic in and around this a ea is ;ality is that the traffic situation is such that it retail developments such as Bayers Lake in the [aving said this, there is no question that 1he er, will have a positive effect on the traf c esidents on Westmorland Road. Horizon commissioned ADI to develop a propo ed cost sharing formula in order to see if uch a formula, based on usage, would allow the road t be completed by the end of 2007. Report To Common Council Subject: Development Proposal — Westmorland ADI concluded and proposed the following. "Using the pay for service principle to City and Horizon Management Ltd. wi properties of the total traffic using Ret pay a share of the total cost in accorda Retail Drive as a development access r, Retail Drive would be in proportion to road. st share the Retail Drive construction pay in proportion to their respective Drive. Horizon would be responsibl e with the proportion of the traffic us d. The City's share of the total cost o ;e of Retail Drive solely as a connecto Applying this method results i4 the following cost shares; • Horizon's cost sha = 7200/14000 = 51.4% • City of faint John'4 cost share= 6800/14000-48.6%" the to 2 Applying ADI's rationale, the total cost of all of 1he road improvements of $6,400,000 in the area, would result in the City contributing $3,200,000 lus reimbursing the developer for piping materials of $1,031,000 for a total investment of t4,23 1,000. STAFF'S REACTION TO THIS POSITION: Staff appreciates the rationale proposed by ADI, owever, staff's position is that adopting the "pay for service principle" in relation to new road construction projects is a dangerous precede While staff would acknowledge that this "road" i 3 different in as much as it will remove traffic from other municipal streets, staff can conceive cf numerous other situations where one co ld make the same argument, hence our hesitancy to support this concept. The other factor is that a figure of $4,231,000 is I ar more than staff would be prepared to recommend simply in order to have this road bui t by the end of 2007. Staff's position rem in consistent with the original recommendations to 1AC. In other words, staff can support a decision that would have Retail Drive constructe as the market is created. The parties continued to have almost daily discussion. Phasing of construction over five y ars was discussed, as was the question of two lanes N ersus four, as was the alignment of Rothe ay Avenue and Marlborough. A whole range of opt ions were explored. In the end, if this road is to be built in the short term, (2006, 2007, and 2008 then the following proposal was providec to City staff as of Tuesday, April 4, at 1:00 p.m. THE QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED: How much is the Municipality prepared to contribute to the construction of Retail Drive in that it can be completed prior to December 31, 2 O7 or 2008? Report To Common Council Subject: Development Proposal — Westmorland Poad HORIZON MANAGEMENT LIMITED'S LAST PROP AL: Horizon Management Ltd. indicates that they are prepared to commit to constructing Retail Drive prior to December 31, 2008 under the following conditions. (a) The City of Saint John makes a contr bution of $2,850,000 toward the combine piping materials and road constructi costs. This contribution will be toward he total road costs on both Westmorlan Road and Retail Drive. (b) Of the total contribution of $2,850,000, 35% of this amount or $997,000 is to advanced in 2006, so as to ensure that the upgrades to Westmorland Road are completed in 2006 as well as the firsi phase of Retail Drive. (c) The $997,000 will be disbursed in o payment, when in the opinion of the Ci 's Chief Engineer, the upgrades to Wes morland Drive and the first phase of Reta I Drive have been completed to his sat sfaction in accordance with pre- approved ply (d) The remaining amount of $1,853,OOC will be disbursed in one payment when, i the opinion of the City's Chief Engineer Retail Drive is 100% complete in accordl nce with the pre- approved plan. (e) In addition to the $2,850,000, the Ci will advance a "repayable contribution" of $650,000 only when the Developer is ready to begin Phase 11 of Retail Drive. Of this $650,000, $350,000 will be earmarked specifically for the construction of the road base for Retail Drive. This work is s heduled for the winter of 2006/2007 so as to demonstrate to the public and to possible tenants that a commitment has been made to complete Retail Drive. It also wolild serve as a hedge against rising road construction cost. (f) The City's temporary investment of 650,000 will be refunded by Horizon Management Limited to the City, ba ed on a rate of $2.03 per square foot, based on the planned "build out" of the additic nal 320,000 square feet of retail space (proposed 500,000 sq. ft minus 180,(00 square feet in Phase 1). The Developer has further agreed that once the total "bu ld out" has reached $400,000 sq. ft., the balancl of the City's temporary investment v ill be refunded in total. This latest position from Horizon, and what following; (a) The road is intended to not only alternative to McAllister Drive; unreasonable. (b) Of the contribution of $2,850,000, There is precedent for following si supported such participation in Cc lieves is their bottom line, is based on the development, but also will serve as a proposal to share in the costs is not proximately $1,031,000 is for piping mat rials. an approach given that Council has prev ously ercial Developments.

One wav to cot ipare credit deals Is to look at what yo i will be charged for the loan. As we I as repaving all the money you hav borrowed, you will have to pay an interest charge This is usually quoted s a '0o APR which stands for the Annual Percentage Rate. All lenders haVE to tell you what their APR is before v u sign up for a loan. so you can use it to compare different deals. Over a given time period you pay less interes on a loan with a low APR than you d D on one with a higher APR. When comps ing credit, here are some oth r questions to ask: le How much will you have to repay in total. A high -APR loan may come with weekly or month y repayments that sound affordable but because you will be paying it off fir a Ions time to come the total c st will be high. Does the interest rate vary, or is it fixed for the life of the loan? Are there any other charges, not included in thE quoted APR, such as optio al payment protection ins ranee? so make sure ou unaerstand what tnev are anc wne you c have to pay them How and when would you have to make your repayments? If you sudden) have spare money, can yotj pay the loan off early - without enalties?

And urgent repairs are now being completed in three - and -a -half days - a fall from five days in October. It's all down to people power - in the shape of a group of tenants who make up the Repairs and Maintenance Service Improvement Group. "Because of the work we have done. customers will find reporting a repair to the call centre much easier, and dealt with quicker. Getting operatives out at a time to suit our customers is a priority.' said Tony King, chair of the service improvement group.

"Since OL r involvement, we have seen a turnaround in services," said Tony. "A total 0 98 per cent of all repairs appointments made are being kept, plus 93 per CE nt of all repairs orders have been completed on time. "This shcws how tenants and Hull Housing 3fficers can work together to create a 3etter service for customers.
