Common Council
City of Saint John
August 9th, 2006 I'
y our Worship and Councillors,
I wish to suggest that there is a growing need for revision of the City's procedure
respecting the road and sidewalks. There are an increasing number of persons who, for
health reasons, are endeavoring to use bicycles to travel to and from the city. It may well
be that older areas of the city cannot be changed, but new streets should have provisions
for a bicycle path or track An example of lack of foresight is the Cranberry Trail, a part
of Harbour Passage. Along this trail bicycles are quite common and pedestrians are
forced to dodge them, as realistic accommodations were not made. The picture of
Rothesay Road showing a bicycle dangerously going along a road in a line of cars is a
good example of what is happening.
Other cities, when developing new areas, have provisions for bicycle pathways.
The normal street width is certainly wide enough to enable a narrow path to be set up for
cyclists. While Saint John has hills, this does not prevent some action.
An unfortunate example of what is happening can be seen along Chesley Street
where there is a steep hill down to the railroad tracks at Ocean Steel from the end of
Reversing Falls Bridge. Bicyclists are now using the sidewalk for both up and down, as
the car traffic is dangerous. A bicycle trail, which could also accommodate such other
popular forms of transportation as roller blading and skateboarding might be considered.
It would be a useful concept as, at present, the use of bicycles, in-line skates, roller
blades and skateboards is dangerous for pedestrians on sidewalks. There is also a danger
to themselves when cyclists, rollerbladers and skateboarders are forced to use the streets.
Possibly City Council should give directions for appropriate study and report on
the feasibility of future planning for street development to provide a so called bicycle
path and also to have such be part of the process when older streets are redone.

An Open Letter To:
Mayor Norm MacFarlane,
Members of Saint John City Council,
Premier Bernard Lord,
Members of the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly
Dear Mayor McFarlane,
It is with deep concern that I address this letter to each elected member of our city council and
provincial legislature. It was announced in the media this morning that the city council is
entertaining a bid from a consortium of interests to build a massive project in the South End of
the city. The centerpiece of this project would consist of a casino combined with a racetrack. The
term racino, coined more than a decade ago, has a tendency to soften the edges of reality. This
may serve to blunt the criticism of a society who has lived for decades with the reality of
racetrack gambling.
As a member of society who ministers to the harsh realities of inner city life on a daily basis, I am
deeply grieved that the leadership of our city would entertain such a project. The decision to
permit a racino to operate within our city core will have moral and spiritual consequences that
would reverberate through society, affecting countless homes and many lives. That decision
would also heighten problems already deeply rooted in our community and which we strive to
resolve, including crime, prostitution and family disintegration. Studies by reputable agencies
document the high social price paid by many homes because of gambling; including domestic
violence, child abuse, and financial hardships. Beyond dollars lost, and dollars no longer available
to be invested in other community businesses, "how does one quantify a divorce, a loss of life's
savings, or worse, a gambling-induced suicide?"
Consider the following three principles:
1. The economic health of a community is directly linked to its spiritual and moral values... or
lack thereof. If decisions are made which appear economically advantageous, yet they violate an
ethical or moral principle, then the end result will not provide the intended economic benefit.
Even if casino gambling were to produce an economic boom in the short term, the profits would
be tainted, Living off the avails of any vice is wrong, no matter how one sanitizes it.
2. Situational ethics are never acceptable. The means are never justified by the end result that they
produce. This "industry" is rooted in greed and spawns untold societal problems. To suggest that
there will be minimal social consequences is ethically irresponsible, One might ask... minimal to
whom? If you are an abused wife, living below the poverty line and struggling with an addictive
husband for a scant share of the family income, these social consequences are not minimal. If it
was your son or daughter, your husband or wife, it would be a tragedy of epic proportions.
A Traditional Pentecostal Church Called to This Generation
3. Every member of a governing body must understand that their power is a delegated trust.
According to scripture, all authority is given by God. As an extension of God's authority on earth,
government has the responsibility of looking after the well being of every dtizen. To proceed
with a project, or legislation, that will harm a vulnerable portion of society is to violate a cardinal
trust given to human government.
I appeal to the members of this city council to reject the proposal to place a racino within our city.
The current efforts of some city council members who have opposed the opening of a strip club in
our city center are to be commended. In light of these efforts to champion the cause of women, I
would callan the same council to understand the impact the creation of a casino will have on
some of these same people. The timing of this announcement is particularly alarming as much of
society is preoccupied with the remaining few weeks of summer and the proposal may go
unnoticed and unchallenged. Also, there has been some criticism recently regarding the length of
time that the "sugar refinery" property has sat idle, This project may be alluring with it's major
expenditure of dollars, and could appear to offer council a "success story" in redevelopment, yet
if acted upon, this council will ultimately be recognized as the council which permitted a blight
upon the face of our city which will impact it for generations, I would appeal to our council to not
be hasty in offering a one year option on the "crown diamond" at the heart of our development
plan. Our council is not elected to open our development "vault" to developers that do not reflect
the best interest of every member of our society.
I appeal to the premier and the members of the New Brunswick Legislature to reject any
legislation that would provide for this project, particularly because of the political pressure that is
. bound tD be exerted upon you in the cDurse of an active election campaign when politicians may
be pressured to make commitments in haste. This is Dne of the most crucial decisions that can be
made relative to our city, and aUf province by extension. This may not be the "election dog" that
editorial cartoonists have been IDoking fDr, but a morally flawed decision will have long-term
consequences that are painful.
Members of any level of government become accustomed to the voices of opposition and protest,
and may develDp an impervious outer layer to ward off the appeals of well-intentioned citizens.
There is the danger however that, without intention, this layer of political armour may become so
impenetrable that leaders fail to hear the voice of an authority higher than their own. I appeal to
you, in the deliberations that follow, to remain conscious of your own accountability for the
decisiDns you will make, and the consequences that they will bear,

July 27,2006
The City of Saint Jobn
His Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Common Council:
SUBJECT: Community Consultation Survey Results
BACKGROUND
Through an April 10, 2006 resolution of Common Council, staff was asked to
engage the Community in consultation and that the information collected be used
as background during a Common Council priority setting session.
As a first step in consulting with the Community, staff prepared and distributed a
survey during a two week period in May, 2006, Community groups were asked to
distribute the survey to their membership and the survey was available to the
general public on the City of Saint Jolm's web page or by obtaining a copy from
the Cashiers Office located at the Lobby Level of City Hall.
Attached for your information is a report, Community Consultation Survey
Results, which summarizes the survey responses.

Re: Appointments to Vision 2015 Steering Committee
Background:
At a previous meeting of Council it was the decision of Council to reduce the size of the
Steering Committee from six members to five. The rationale for this change was to
ensure that a committee of Council would not consist of the majority of Council.
It is extremely important that a steering committee remain in place and continue to meet
regularly. The old steering Committee no longer exists and there is an immediate need for
a new one to be struck.
Resolution:
That any Councillor wishing to serve on the Vision 2015 Steering Committee. Express an
interest to the Mayor by September 1,2006.
And
That the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Mr. Beckett, as a resource person, meet with those
Councillors wishing to serve on the committee to discuss the role, expectations and
required level of commitment.
And
That the Mayor and Deputy Mayor be authorized to appoint the new Vision 2015
Steering Committee.
Respectfully,
Councillor Glen Tait

Your Worship and Fellow Councillors,
Re: Provincial Election
The Provincial Election for the Province of New Brunswick will be held on September
18, 2006. From my perspective there seems to be much apathy in this community with
many of the important issues that are critical to the future long-term sustainability of this
community not even being mentioned, let alone being discussed.
It is my belief that the issues and priorities that are most important to the citizens of Saint
John must be pushed to the fore front at this time. It is imperative that this Council and
this Community know the positions of the three leaders of the political parties on these
matters. It will once again be a lost opportunity if this Council does not push the agenda
of the Citizens of Saint John fonvard. The following are just some of the issues, projects
and policies that must be discussed and debated with solutions identified and real
commitments made to achieve positive outcomes.
.01 The position ofthe next government not only on the issue of Harbor Clean-Up but
also the assurance of clean safe drinking water to the citizens Saint John with a clear
commitment, time lines identified for implementation with the necessary financial
commitment made.
.02 When will a new Gambling Policy be in place and will it include permission for a
Racino and if so will the Province provide and or support a funding model using Atlantic
Lotto as a source, similar to P .E.!.
.03 A commitment with a realistic time frame identified for the completion of the One
Mile Interchange.
.04 Their position on a long term commitment to the Gas Tax Program, Strategic
Infrastructure Program and the Transit Funding Program and what initiatives would
be taken by the next Government of New Brunswick to ensure this funding is in place in
the long term from the Federal Government?
.04 Addressing the Fiscal Imbalance that currently exists between the Provincial and
Municipal Governments, The current grant system is not working and while equal
opportunity may have served this Province well in the past, it is not the solution for the
future. What w1l1 be the position of the next Government of New Brunswick other than to
say it will be examined and or looked at, will a funding model similar to Quebec be
adopted? Municipalities need to have a commitment that will create positive change and
address the long tenn needs of urban centers.
.05 Good Health and Wellness are important issues for any community. Saint John has
been in a budgetary restraint mode for over a decade, experiencing little growth. Through
out this period many leisure and recreational facilities and programs have deteriorated to
unacceptable levels, we have not been able to keep pace with other communities in this
Province. Specifically, what assistance can the City of Saint John expect from the next
Government ofN ew Brunswick to respond to these needs?
.06 Adequate, affordable housing is an essential and a basic need. Saint John has a high
poverty rate, the highest in the Province and one of the highest in Canada. Saint John is
the only City in the Province that has a real urban core with all the challenges that go
with it. What real long term commitment can Saint John expect from the new
Government of New Brunswick to address the low cost housing needs of this
community?
.06 Atlantica is all about creating a trade corridor from Halifax to the United States. An
essential part of this concept is to have adequate infrastructure and transportation
networks in place to accommodate the future demand. \\Then will the next Government
commit to a realistic time frame that will see the twinning of the highway from Saint
John to St. Stephen? \\That steps will be taken with the Federal Government to see the
completion of a new Boarder Crossing and what steps will be taken with the Government
of Maine to see the twinning of route nine?
Resolution;
That the Mayor immediately send an invitation to the Provincial Party leaders of the
Province of New Brunswick requesting that they appear before the Mayor and Council at
the next scheduled open meeting of Council to speak to and address the concerns most
important to this community as outlined in this document.

Re: Ownership of Saint John Energy
At the request of Anne Hickey, Commissioner Saint John Energy I met
with Anne and Commissioner Ed Keys. From my perspective I did not see
any reason nor was I convinced that we the City should not move forward
with the resolving the ownership question. I expressed my view as to
why I felt this matter should be resolved.
They expressed a willingness to enter into discussions and by using a
co operative approach, work towards a solution that would ultimately
resolve the ownership question as well as exploring a one utility
option.
They would like to work jointly toward finding a satisfactory solution.
At this point I wi] 1 not attempt to speak on their behalf. I am not
prepared to say that they have conceded nor are they willing to concede
the ownership of Saint John Energy. They simply stated that they wish
to work co operatively to solve this out standing matter.
Resolution:
That Council meet with the Conunission of Saint John Energy in
session with the condition and clear understanding that the
purpose of the meeting is to work co operatively towards the
determination that the City of Saint John is the sole owner of
John Energy.
Legal

And
That prior to such meeting the City Solicitor research and advise

towards a resolution that the City of Saint John owns Saint John

done & the deplorable condition of the Go/dslvorthy Road In winter with SflOW
bank's it is impossible for two car's to pass. not to mention we are usually /asl to
be plowed.. This road need's widening & proper ditching & cleaning" it need's a
complete resurfacing & paving., not chip sealing. The chip seal does not last & the
last contractor that did the road did a terrible job. Everyday our car's are
subjected to dodging pot hole's which are getting impossible to dodge because
there are so many. It would be nice to be considered for an extensive upgrade & it
would be nice to have city service 's like city water. However our road is a major
concern for all who have to live here & drive our car's over this mess. We pay our
taxes & desen.e better. The road cause :'i wear & tear to our car I,~ & other
problem 's it is impossible to keep our car's in alignment & it is a waste of time &
money to have them done it also puts wear on our tire's. Most of us have ltved
here for many year's & all we get is chip seal & patching, & ,now we don't even get
that, It should be called Dodge Hole Road We would appreciate your attention on
this matter & put us on your agenda for work to be done. Thank you Sincerely

suitable forlong termuse.
Thepurposeof thisreportis toreceiveCommonCouncil’sapprovalofan

RE: SKATEBOARD PARK FUNDING
As some of you may have already received a few letters from me re the above and as of
today August 16th I have not received any word back from anyone, I decided to address
all of you.
After hearing of$ 265,000 in funding, I have done a great deal of research that would
strongly suggest we are overpaying for this park relative to what most parks that are built
in Canada,
l. bff.Y.f., &f!.lJt.<<fl.f.d..,~.~y'f.r.<<1. J~ili g~2.lj(l.y.~.i.<<fQr.m.at.i(!.1j,. .<<I1.d. h R.r.f/..d.fJ.f!.e.. r.x.(e,fJ.s.iy.f:,
r.f:.~f:.q,r.f.h..Qn..:ikll.(.t;.IJ.Q!!.r.4.}f.e.I)..{jit.e,$.. Everything points to a Cadillac of a park and an
inconsistent reporting of skateboard participation numbers.
I obviously am not on council however if I was and there was a questionable issue
regarding the spending of $265,000 I would hope myself or someone on council would
say, maybe we should look into this further to confirm its accuracy,
The cities has limited funds and if it can save a substantial amount of money then
the citizens of SJ deserve this matter to be taken seriously. Otherwise, my only
method is through public awareness, which r believe council does not want and neither
do I, however you will leave me no choice to pursue this matter in the only manner I as a
citizen can do.
J will await an answer for an in person discussion by this Friday August 18th.
Thank You

Re: Skateboard Park
From: Gerry Dort
This is further to my letters to you re the SJ Skateboard Park. I want to thank you for
having my concerns discussed on August 28th. As well congratulations on further
announcements for Harbor passage as these are all positives for the city,
A few points to consider of which you may want to ask yourselves as these are the
questions I need answered as to the $265,000 in funding for the proposed $ 700,000 park
which represents 38 % of the total cost.
1) How many quotes were received? Were they in writing? Was it tendered?
2) How many designers were queried on park construction to get an idea of possible
costs and various designs? Did the designer come to see the proposed site?
3) Did you price other parks built by Spectrum, the company presently chosen. The
design shown in the telegraph would suggest the photo was submitted by Fundy
Skateboard Association, not the designer themselves?
4) Did you consider any research on what other cities are paying or have paid for
parks, on a per square foot basis? I have prices on over 10 parks built in Canada,
suggesting we are paying too much! Some of these parks are in NB.
I have researched all of this very thoroughly and the price tag of the $.!..P.l!:!./f,@
~ZJ!J!J.r!"f).fl.j!i, .f..f!.!J/i#!.~r..~4 .}!.€tJ?.~~~~$.iy.~. !..~lfl:tf.Y..f.~.!jJ!.~q,lfi.!! g,
compared to what other cities are paying. The SJ Park if built like most Canadian parks
can be built for close to halfthe $ 700,000 cost and if we are all concerned with a
shortage of monies, a shortage of facilities and wanting to have our uptown developed
then these excess monies could be used for:
1) Miniature golf course 2) 3 v 3 Basketball courts 3) Playground 4) Benches
5) Portable toilets 6) above ground Swimming pool 7) Paid security in the area
Much of the above could possibly be done on or near Harbor passage.
Alternatively the new SJ Sports recreation Committee could certainly use this excess of
funds for some of the facilities they are working on for the City of SJ.
This I believe is a more thorough and better use of Tax payers dollars and can satisfy
more needs and still meet the needs of this Skateboard project.
Finally does our Skateboard park need to be one of the most expensive ever built in
Canada ( on a per square foot basis),when we are still not sure of how successful it can or
will be and_when we are constantlv statinf! to local citizens the
shortaee of monies the city has and that the monies need to be
spent as resDonsiblv as possible
This can be a win - win situation! 1 I.
Thank you

Re: Request for Municipal Funding - Saint John Multiplex Recreational/Sporting Facility Project
Dear Mayor McFarlane & Members of Common Council;
On behalf of the Saint John Multiplex Recreational/Sporting Facility Project (Multiplex Project) working
committee, I am writing to request financial support for the Conceptual Design Phase of the Multiplex
Project, An Architectural Services Proposal- Project 06-306PJ from Centre Line Architects (summary
attached) outlines the scope of work and the fees associated with this phase. As a partner in this
initiative, we respectfully request that the City of Saint John support this phase of the project with a
financial contribution of $25,000 and be prepared to solicit the site work necessary to base the feasibility
study off. The Province of New Brunswick recently committed $10,000 toward this project.
The intent is to move forward the findings of the City of Saint John Recreational Facilities Committee
(2004) report that outlined the need for a Multiplex facility in the Greater Saint John Region that could
address the needs of a number of recreational/sporting needs including hockey, soccer, lacrosse,
gymnastics, indoor walking/running track and access to regional recreational services. The Recreation
Interim Committee (RIC) has identified this project as one of its top three recreational projects,
In addition to satisfying the needs of the recreation/sporting needs of the citizens of the Greater Saint
John region, this project would have the following additional benefits:
· A catalyst for an urban renewal in the high poverty area of Saint John North - the intent is to
build around the existing lord Beaverbrook Arena in the city's north end,
· This project fits well with the Province of New Brunswick's 5-in-S plan for health/wellness and
poverty reduction.
· A project of this nature ties in with the Federal Government's plans for the establishment of
additional recreational infrastructure,
· This project is well supported in the community, based on the findings of the City Think Survey,
which placed this as the community's top priority for recreational infrastructure, receiving large,
broad-based support.
I look forward to hearing back from you regarding this request. [f you have any questions regarding the
request, please feel free to contact me at (506) 649-6400.

Dear Mr. Manning:
I
Thank you for asking us to assist with the development of what certainly promises to be a dynamic and long overdue
project for our City, and more speclflcally, the North End. We are pleased to submit to you our proposal for developing
a preliminary conceptual design for this project.
I
Centre Line Architects is a joint venture of Murdock & Boyd Architects Inc. (MBA) of Saint John and ema
ARCHITECTS inc. (ema) of Ottawa. This joint venture of the two firms was created to broaden the scope of services
offered by ema and to strengthen the service offering of MBA. Both firms have a keen interest in recreational building
types and recent developments in New Brunswick, for these types of facilities provided opportunties for this joint
venture. The personal relationships are tied together where, Malcolm Boyd, Partner with MBA and Robert Matthews
Princfpal with ema worked together in Ottawa for a number of years, completeing a number of recreational buildings,
most notably the new Nepean City Hall Complex, the latest rink at the Nepean Sportsplex, as well as complex projects
for both the Provincial and Federal Governments. Recently, Centre Line has been awarded three projects in southern
New Brunswick:, the Fredericton Northside Sports and Leisure Complex, currenUy under construcion; the Frederiction
Southside Arena Complex, currenUy in design; and the Saint John YMCA YWCA addition to the CGAC, currently in
design.
I
I

.~
I
ema has also worked with Capital Sports Management Inc. on the BELL Sensplex Project, in Kanata. CSMI offers a
complete service for the design, develpopment, construction and management of arena facilities. The total package
that CSMl offers may be interest to the Saint John Sportsplex, as the project advances beyond the concept stage.
I
Centre Line Architects proposes the following outline scope of work.
I
· Meet with the Steering Committee - discuss and verify the programme which at this point encompasses the
following.
Existing LBR ice pad and associated dressing rooms to be utilized.
2 new surfaces large enough for ice pads
Field House. to accomodate rock climbing, Gymnastics of the Olympic variety
(parallel, uneven bars, rings, etc.). Capable of hosting major gymnastic events.
Indoor walking track.
Parking -It is expected that the parking for this facility will not be able to be contained on this site.
Therefore, the design process under this proposal, will identify in general terms potential parking facility
options on nearby adjacent lands. Surveys of these properties may be required.

· CHent to procure a legal and topographic survey, prepared in Autocad 2004 L T format, prior to Architect
commencing work.
· Client to procure a geotechnical investigation report.
· Client is advised.thatthe existing property and adjacent properties may pose environmental concerns. A Tier
2 Environmental Audit is recommended.
· Architect to Review the existing LBR and Client to obtain original drawings of same. If a measured survey of
the existing building is required, a separate fee arrangement will be developed, scope specific
· Prepare Concept drawings. Three steps.
Step One - Architect to develop and prepare a prelimiinary scheme and meet with Client to review and
sort out programming issues. This first step will be a test to determine what is possible on the site.
Step Two - Architect to continue to develop and revise scheme based on feect4>ack at the first meeting. Most
material will be in two dimensional format. Prepare and present design material at a second meeting. A draft
order of magnitude budget wilt be developed. This submission would be considered to be approximately
75-80% complete.
Step Three - Architect to refine the concept and present final design material. A number of 3
dimensional drawings in colour will be prepared, illustrating the complete design.
· Fees would be based on hourly rate involvement, to a minimum of $25,000, and depending on the full extent
of services up to a maximum of $35,000, for the scope of work referred to above. Out of pocket expenses for
travel expenses from Ottawa, and other normal expenses such as communication. printing, mileage outside
the City is billable. HST not included,
· Fees for the survey work, geotechnical study and environmental audit are not included in this proposal.
Procurement of these services is normally the responsibility of the Client, but usually input and direction is
provided by the Architect. Hughes Surveys quoted a fee of $4,000 for the topographic and legal survey of the
LBR property and the Irving Gas Station lot Fundy Engineering quoted $2,000 for a Tier 1 assessment of
the main LBR site, $5,000 for a Tier 2 assessment of the Gas Station site and $3,000 for a geotechnical
report, jf it is done at same time as Environmental work,
'-~
The work..could commence in August and be complete by the November/December timeline, The survey, geotechnical
and environmental work should begin as soon as possible.
Please contact me at 646~9200, so that we can continue our discussions on moving this project forward.
Yours sincerely,
