Greetings from the oldest independent Bakery in our City!
Your Worship the Mayor & Members of Common Council
May we draw to your attention a parking concern presently experienced by our faithful customers. As
most members of council are aware we have operated here at 15-17 Prince Edward since 1949 . We realize that
parking in general in the Uptown area can sometimes be difficult. Our property, close to the intersection where
Prince Edward meets Union, is bordered by a Fire Hydrant on one side and a Bus Stop on the other. No on
street parking is legal in any close proximity to our Bakery. This is a serious matter for our business that we
believe could be easily rectified.
Prince Edward Street is served by two City Transit Bus Stops. One in close proximity to our Bakery
and the other about 200 feet away. Parking in a Bus Stop is of course illegal just as it is beside a Fire hydrant,
as it should be. Three of our customers in the past couple of weeks have received tickets for parking at this Bus
Stop. Is it necessary to have two transit stops on the same city block only separated by a short distance? Could
not one be removed and the space be reverted to on street parking similar to other parking spaces on Prince
Edward? Hence Up Town shoppers, a number being senior citizens might have a few more options for parking
without the danger of illegal parking and the frustration of getting tickets. Keep in mind that a parking
violation at a bus stop is higher than what it is at a meter.
A number of weeks ago a new sign across the street from our business appeared. The
sign located on the Traffic Island is a reminder that Prince Edward Street is not a truck route. We have a
limited amount of larger trucks that make deliveries at our bakery and also some customers that have larger
vehicles that on occasion shop. Is such a sign really necessary? Why has it recently appeared? Most truck
traffic on Prince Edward is for local delivery anyway. Why try and prohibit truck traffic that is essential for the
commercial life of the street? Could the traffic department please clarify the motivation behind this signage?
In closing may we thank the Mayor and Common council for their attention to these matters. As a
commercial enterprise we would like to facilitate a positive approach and timely solution to this problem that
could in the end benefit everyone. On street parking rather than a bus stop next to our business is we believe a
reasonable solution.

To Mayor and Council,
As residents of 12 Boylan Road for the past 24 years we have observed over the
past 12 months an alarming increase in heavy truck traffic on our street. These
tandem wheeled trucks are not on this street to make deliveries or using the
street to get to other destinations, as Boylan Road is a dead end street. The
reason is because they are being used by employees who work for these
trucking companies as taxies to get to and from work or other locations. This
situation is very disruptive to our family as these trucks come and go as early as
4am and return as late as 10pm 7 days a week in our neighborhood. Also we
have observed damage to asphalt paving and road shoulders caused by these
heavy trucks.
We respectfully request the mayor and council to take steps to stop these large
trucks from using this street unless being used for deliveries. Installing a NO
TRUCKS ALLOWED sign as per traffic bylaw-section 17, schedule 1 would
make this enforceable.
Currently the trucking firms we see daily are Brad Gould's Trucking and
Excavating, Fundy Energy, and WM Waste Management. We have personally
conveyed our concerns on this matter to representatives of these companies as
well as Traffic Sargent Crowley of city police. The companies ignored our
concerns and the police say they need this bylaw in place to take action on the
matter.
In closing we have also contacted our provincial MLA Roly Mcintyre to which his
response was he finds the situation unacceptable and should not be permitted.
Thank you to the mayor and council for their attention to this matter and hopefully
it can be resolved soon.

Your Worship and Councillors:
Your Saint John Community Arts Board hereby requests the opportunity to
make a presentation at the regular meeting of Common Council scheduled for
Monday, November 6,2006, to provide Council with the annual update of the
Board's progress and achievements in the creative sector of our community,
In the last twelve months, and in keeping with Item 7.1.a of the Saint John Arts
and Culture Policy adopted by Common Council on September 26,2005, your
Board has been focused on establishing the Saint John Community Arts
Funding Program. The Board also held the second community Arts Summit in
May 2006 - five years after the 'first ever' Arts Summit was held in our city.
Your Board looks forward to being placed on the Council agenda for
November 6, 2006. We are excited about the progress being made in Saint
John on so many fronts and how it is completely consistent with the True
Growth of our community.
Yours truly,

Dear Mayor McFarlane, Deputy Mayor Hooten and Common Councillors,
This letter is to inform you that a proposal has been submitted by the John Howard
Society in Saint John to the Department of Family and Community Services to
operate a Home for Persons with a Mental Illness at 255 Loch Lomond Road, Saint
John, as a diversion program to the Justice System. The application to purchase the
property has been submitted I whereupon a final decision will be rendered within the
week.
Our agency has operated residential homes in Saint John since 1979 and during this
time, we have established a solid reputation for adding value to this community by
providing residential services to at-need adults, youth and their families.
Our residences are well supervised and the home is a structured environment where
learning opportunities and positive change are always present. The staff is well
trained professionals that will manage the residents in a responsible, effective and
safe manner at all times.
The specifics of this home are as follows:
. The home will provide residency for 3 adults.
. Residents will be of a manageable risk with a staff person assigned to each
resident when they are awake and active, and doubled staff when they have
retired for the day.
1
The agency's community notification plan includes:
. Notification of the Mayor and City Council to provide the opportunity to present
relevant information pertaining to the home's policies and procedures, staffing
constellation and community involvement initiatives.
. Door to door canvassing informing the neighboring residents of the new
residency within their neighborhood and the date and time of an open house.
. Open house where community neighbors are invited to the home and provide a
barbecue meal while they become apprised of relevant information pertaining to
the home.
If you have any questions about this proposal, please contact Margo Butler
(BSW,RSW) at (506) 657-5547 who will be able to explain the project and answer
any questions.

Your Worship Mr. Norm McFarlane and Council
I am writing to you, to inform you that I am interested in leasing the Rockwood Park
Pavilion through my company LSO Enterprises Ltd. Throughout the years I have
watched the decay of this building and the rebirth in the las1 year.
In 1990 I had a short conversation with Mr. Totten regarding the remodeling ofthis
building but I took on other projects such as Moore Street which I have just completed.
My company would be willing to finish what is needed both in kitchen equipment, chairs,
tables, etc. so this building would be up and running as soon as possible. I have owned
and operated in part time and full time over 29 restaurants and lounges in the city in the
past 30 years.
I would put a team together very shortly to run all aspects regarding the Pavilion. What I
would request is a five (5) year lease with a possible option for an additional five (5) year
lease and if not possible would sell the equipment back to the occupier at a nominal
amount of money.
Respectfully Submitted,

TheareaisdesignatedbytheMunicipalDevelopmentPlanasLowDensityResidential. ThePlan

minimumlotareaof1400squaremetres(15,070squarefeet),aminimumlotwidthof30metres

Furthermore,thisexistingzoningallowsforsignificantreductiononthestreetconstructioncosts,
sinceonlyopenditchingandoverheadutilitiesarerequiredwithnosidewalks. Theanticipated

Dear SIr:
October 16 ,2006
RE: Proposed Zoning y-Iaw Amendment and Conditional Use
77 Golden Grove Road. SaInt John. NB
We reside at 41 D tch Garden Lane (note enclosed map) and of course
the flooding issue is alwa s a major concern.
Our home is locat d approximately 175 metres fram 77 Golden Grove Rd.
We obiect to the p oposed amendment to the above By.law. in particular.
fhe adding of a lounge t 77 Golden Grove Road as a permitted use in Section
740 (8J(0)(i) (Special Zone #8 "SZ-8").
We draw your otte fion to Section 620(2) (a) (Ii) which states. in part:
"0) a beverage Ii om, club or lounge............may not be located:
(ii) within 300 m tres of another beverage room, club or lounge
on the sam street or within a radius of 180 metres thereof
in any other direction.1I
The Grove Loung is located immediately next door to the "pub sfyle
seafood restaurant with n attached IolJnge w1fh possible deck off foslde of
bldg. '~ as proposed by M Ganong in his ApPlication dated September 12, 2006.
The Grove Leung has an outdoQr deck:. We do encounter ex~essive
periodic noise from this tablishment and from the other existing businesses in
that area.
A greater concern, is the City's grar(lting of a "notwithstanding" Condition
of Use, as noted in action 620(2)(PJrivJ, to the 3-Mile Entertainment
Complex/MAXXX located t 5. 19 Goldenl Grove Road.
2.
Our home Is I cated approximately 250 metres from the 3-Mile
Entertainment Complex/ AXXX.
r
The assailing extr me low frequeQcy (BASS) noise emanating from the 3-
Mile Entertainment Co pleX/MAXXX since June 09, 2006, we are forced to
endure, has effectively d strayed our quality of life and is jeopardizing our heath.
Despite repeate attempts by us. sadly, the City has chosen not to
enforce Its Noise BY-Lot, nor has any City Official ever acknowledged low
frequency (BASS) noise efistsl
;
For the City fa all w another lounge in this area would also, Increase the
h tr fl n .. already Inundating our
neighborhood. comme cing but nof limited to. early evenings and not ceasing
until well after 3:00 AM th following mornings.
To place our resi ential neighborhood In the predicament of another
lounge being considere contravenes the Clty1s existing Zoning By-laws and Is
simply wrong and unfair.
Should not the p otection of residential zoned neighborhoods have at
least equal weight as th business'?
We expect City fficials responsible for the Issuing of licenses, permits,
variances etc., at all ti es conduct a complete unbiased investigation of the
ultimate Intent and full d scription of the business.
We therefore requ st this Application be denied.

Dear Sirs/Madams:
RE: Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment and CondItional Use
77 Golden Grove Road. SaInt John. NB
We reside at 41 Dutch Garden Lone (note enclosed map) and of course
the flooding Issue is always a major concern.
Our home is located approximately 175 metres from 77 Golden Grove Rd.
We obiect to the proposed amendment to the above By-law. in particular,
the adding of a lounge at 77 Golden Grove Road as a permitted use in Section
740{8}(a)(i) (Special Zone #8 "Sl-B").
We draw your attention to Section 620{2} (a) (ii) which states, in part:
Ita) a beverage room, club or lounge............may not be located:
(ii) within 300 metres of another beverage room, club or lounge
on the same street or within a radius of 180 metres thereof
in any other direction:'
The Grove Lounge is located immediately next door to the ''pub style
seafood restaurant with an af/ached lounge wHh possible deck off to side of
bldg. '~ as proposed by Mr. Ganong in his Application dated September 12. 2006.
The Grove Lounge has an outdoor deck. We do encounter excessive
oeriodic noise from this establishment and from the other existing businesses in
that area;
A greater concern is the City's granting of a "notwithstanding" Condition
of Use, as noted in Section 620(2){a){iv). to the 3-Mile Entertainment
Complex/MAXXX located at 5 - '9 Golden Grove Road.
2.
Christopher L. Seyea and Laurette M. Walker
Our home is located approximately 250 metres from the ~Mlle
Entertainment Complex/MAXXX.
The assaIlIng extrema low frequency (BASS) noise emanating from the 3-
Mile Entertainment Complex/MAXXX since June 09. 2006. we are forced to
endure. has effectively destroyed our quality of life and is Jeopardizing our heath.
Despite repeated attempts by us, sadly, the City has chosen not to
enforce Its NoIse By-Law. nor has any City Official ever acknowledged ~
frequency (BASS) noise exlstsl
For the City to allow another lounge In this area would also. Increase the
high level of varying traffic and other assocIated noise already Inundating our
neighborhood. commencIng but not lImited to. early evenings and not ceasing
until well after 3:00 AM the following mornings.
To place our residential neighborhood in the predicament of another
lounge being considered contravenes the Cltyts existing Zoning By-laws and Is
simply wrong and unfair.
Should not the protection of residential zoned neIghborhoods have at
least equal weight as the business?
We expect City Officials responsIble for the issuing of licenses. permIts.
variances etc.. at all times conduct a complete unbiased investigatIon of the
ultimate Intent and full description of the business.
.
We therefore request this Application be denied.
/r'Purs truly.

RE: Rezoning a portion of 1210 Loch Lomond Road
12 October 2006
Received a letter on the 29 September 2006 from the City of Saint John - Planning Advisory
Committee that was dated the 26 September 2006 stating that they had received application
from the property owners of 1210 Loch Lamond Road, who want to rezone a portion (approx.
2.4 acres) of the total 6.3 acre lotfrom "RS-2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to
"B-2" General Business. The letter also had a very poorly hand drawn sketch submitted by the
applicant showing what they were proposing for this piece of land. The sketch was not to scale
and did not show any dimensions of building size, parking lot, compost bin or anything else that
was sketched on the drawing.
My objections pertaining to this rezoning application are listed below:
1. Sub-dividing - A "RS-2" One and Two Family Suburban Residential parcel of land into two
zones, "RS-2" and "B-2" General Business, where there are already "B-2" zoned parcels of land
on Hickey Road that could accommodate these proposed businesses.
2. Increased Traffic entering and exiting - This is going to increase the possibility of the
number of traffic accidents as there is already an existing business (Irving Mainway) right across
the street from this site. This will make the driveways for both sites directly across from one.
another.
3. Increased risk of water main breaks - We have had numerous water main breaks over the
years between the corner of Hickey Road and the Bon Accord sub-division. Having any
businesses in here will increase this risk, as there will be both extra car and truck traffic entering.
and exiting the site. I already have a 36" water main that is leaking on my property and it has
been doing so for the last 4 years.
The City did come out and dig it up (October 2002) and what they done was fill the hole up with
crushed rock and they put a pipe in the middle of the hole and down about 3 or 4 feet from the
top and connected the pipe to the storm drain at the front of the property.
This was done as a temporary fix, what they were suppose to do was come out and shut off the
36" water main and get inside the pipe and seal all the joints on the inside from Home Hardware
to Bon Accord sub division. They still have not done this yet, although we were told the money
was in the budget to fix this the first 2 years after the did the temporary fix, but since the current
council has been in we have been told there is no money in the budget to fix this.
4. Increased air pollution - My wife has asthma, and with the increase volume of truck (the
smell of diesel) and car traffic she will not be able to open the windows in the house or go out
into the yard. We have already had to deal with this when they were doing some initial site work.
This will also be true for the proposed compost bin that they intend to have on site as well.
5. Contamination of water in Brook and Little River - Site does not have access to City
sewage, which means they will have to be on their own septic system. The proposed plan is for
a flower shop, hair salon and two office spaces (which now makes it a strip mall. We were told
originally that it was only to be a flower shop and maybe a hair salon). The chemicals from the
flower shop and hair salon will be leeching into the ground and ultimately into the Brook running
thru the property and Little River at the back of the property and who knows what else in the two
other office spaces. Also there will be contamination from run off from the parking lot (oil, salt
etc.)
~'
e
e
6. Increased noise and garbage - We already have a business across the street as well as
businesses at the corner of Loch Lamond and Hickey Road and we have enough noise and
garbage that blows onto our lot from those dumpsters. I have to clean the garbage off my lawn
every time before I can mow my lawn. This will only add to the existing problem.
7. Loss of privacy and security - This will eliminate any privacy that we have from our
property, as our property will on display to everyone coming and going from the strip mall. This
also has the potential to increase the possibility of break and enter to our homes.
8. Property value - We feel that this proposed rezoning will decrease our property value as no
one wants to live in an area with businesses all around them.
In conclusion we feel the rezoning of this portion of land to "B-2" General Business be rejected
by the Planning Advisory committee and Common Council and keep it as "RS-2" One and Two
Family Suburban Residential. Thank you.

RE: THE REZONING OF 1210 LOCH LOMOND ROAD
Please be advised that we object to the rezoning ofthis property. We already have
businesses located at the comer of Hickey Road and Loch Lomond Road and we do not
want to be completely surrounded by business property. This a a residential area and we
feel that it should remain that way. There are a number offactors involved in our
decision.
1/ Water main breaks- we have already had several water main breaks in front of our
house. We have spent several thousand dollars in repairs to our basement caused
by flooding because of water main breaks. A business will only add to this problem.
2/ Traffic - Loch Lomond Road is a very high traffic area. We do not need anything else
in this area that will add to more traffic.
3/ Sewerage- We have our own septic system which we recently had upgraded. We do
not want to be forced to have city sewer because of a business. We also have a little
brook that runs in the back of our property that we do not want polluted because of
chemicals from this type of business.
4/ Garbage - We are constantly cleaning garbage from our yard now because of the
businesses located in our area. We do not need anymore businesses that would only
add to this problem.
5/ Property Value - We do not feel that a business of this type will increase the value of
our property but will in effect decrease property value because people do not want to
live on a property completely surrounded by businesses.
6/ Also we are not told what will be in the office space located in this building. So
actually there will be four businesses located on this property not just one. We do
not want a strip mall practically next door to us.
We do not mind the businesses located at the comer of Hickey Road and Loch Lomond
Road because they are quite a distance away. However we do not want to have a
business built almost right in our back yard. I am sure that none of the council members
would want to have a mini strip mall ( that seems to be what this is) built in their back
Yard. There must be a better place where they could build such a business except in a
residential neighborhood. We would therefore ask that Council Members reject the
rezoning of this property and keep it zoned as a residential area only. Thank you.

RESOLUTION
City of Saint John, NB
National Homelessness Initiative
October 2006
WHEREAS, having a safe, secure home is a basic human right; and
WHEREAS, children and families are the fastest growing segment of Canada's homeless population,
eroding efforts by municipalities and others to nurture healthy, stable communities; and
WHEREAS, the City of Saint John, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and other
organizations across the nation have recognized that homelessness and the lack of affordable housing is
a national concern requiring long term solutions; and
WHEREAS, the National Home1essness Initiative was established by the federal government in 1999,
investing $1.2 billion over the past six years in local solutions that address homelessness - including $1
million for the following shelter/supportive housing facilities and programs in Saint John:
· First Steps Housing Project Inc.
· Coverdale Centre
· The Resource Centre for Youth (TRC)
· The ONE Change Inc.
WHEREAS, the National Homelessness Initiative is strongly supported by local organizations and is
recognized as an international best practice by the United Nations; and
WHEREAS, the National Homelessness Initiative will expire on March 31, 2007 unless the new
federal government acts soon to renew the program;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Saint John urges the Government of Canada
to renew and expand the National Homelessness Initiative, and calls upon municipalities and provincial
and territorial governments across Canada to add their voices in support of this important program.

REPORT TO COMMON COJNCIL
July 13,2006
M & C - 2006-205
City of Saint John
His Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane and
Mem bers of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Request to Build Cottage
Kelly Lake
BACKGROUND:
Building Permits for new buildings are reviewed by both Municipal Operations
and Planning to ensure amongst other things, that the proposal can be provided
with normal City services. Services include water & sewage where available, but
also street access so that garbage can be coUected and emergency vehicles can
reach the building. Most buildings easily meet these standards. There is a Zoning
Bylaw provision, however that actually states in Section 40:
"No building may be erected in the City in respect of which, in
the opinion of the Council, satisfactory arrangements have not
been made for the supply of electric power, water, sewerage,
streets, or other services or facilities."
Mike McGraw's application to construct a cottage on Kelly Lake has been
reviewed (lot illustrated on attached map). The applicant was informed that this
permit could not be approved by staff. As per Section 40, the applicant has now
requested Council to make a final determination.
ANALYSIS:
Kelly Lake is located in West Saint John, near the Highway 7 the Martinon exit.
There are at least two existing cottages on the lake, as well as a small number of
camps on various private roads and on the nearby Acamac Backland Road.
I
Report to Common Coun...:1J
July 13,2006
Page 2
This area was historically accessed from the Westfield Road via the Acamac
Backland Road. It is a long-existing 20-metre (66-foot) wide public right-of-way
that has only been developed for an approximate distance of 375 metres (1,230
feet) from its intersection with Westfield Road. The remainder of this right-of-
way, which is over 3.3 kilometers (2 miles) has remained underdeveloped.
During a recent site visit to the area, it was not possible to travel any significant
distance along this roadway with a passenger vehicle. Obviously, the City does
not provide any maintenance to this portion of the right of way.
When the Province of New Brunswick constructed the Martinon By.Pass
Highway, it severed the undeveloped Acamac Backland Road right-of-way.
According to the Department of Transportation, a gravel service road was
constructed by the Province along both sides ofthis portion of the highway to
accommodate woodlot resource access only.
This service road is within the provincial highway's ISO-metre (492-foot) wide
right-of-way. The road has a granular width of7.5 metres (25 feet), with suitable
ditching along both sides.
Other than the Acamac Backland Road there are two accesses that intersect this
provincial service road. One of these roadways was developed by Brookville
Manufacturing Company Limited (now the John Law Corporation) in the early
1990s in conjunction with an approved rock quarry operation.
The Free Lane private access is not far from the former quarry road. This lane
provides access to camps in the vicinity of Kelly Lake. There were four (4)
camps identified along this private roadway during a recent visit to the area.
Most 6fthe camps in this area pre-date City jurisdiction, but one camp on the
Acamac Backland Road was approved by Council in August 1993 on the basis it
would only be used for recreational purposes and normal City services would not
be required or expected. A request to build a permanent residence on the Acamac
Backland Road was denied in 2002.
Mr. McGraw has obtained Provincial Health approval and Provincial
Environment approval. There is electricity to at least one of the existing cottages
and this service would be extended at his expense. He has indicated that he will
forgo city services in order to build a camp on the lake and will accept liability
and not hold the City at fault for not being able to reach his lot with emergency
vehicles.
I
Report to Common Council
July 13,2006
Page 3
CONCLUSION:
As can be seen from the above commentary, this type of application has been
considered before. In all cases Municipal Operations and the Fire Department
have indicated that services can not be practically provided to these locations and
this continues to be the case.
While a camp is proposed, the City has not differentiated between a permanent
dwelling and camps, understanding that many camps have been converted to year
round dwelling units. Council has approved recreational uses with a clear
understanding of the service limitations. There could be a formal agreement, but
this has not been the case in the past.
In the final analysis it is Council's decision under Section 40 of the Zoning By-
law. The advice from your staff has been consistently to deny such approvals.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the application of Mike McGraw not be approved.
Respectfully submitted,

October 19, 2006
The Cio/ of Saint John
His Worship Mayor Norm McFarlane and
Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Update - Risk Analysis of Proposed Natural Gas Pipeline
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update and status report on the
discussions that have occurred between the Fire Chief and representatives from Emera
Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd. (EBPC) relative to the concerns that emerged from the
most recently completed Community Risk Analysis.
BACKGROUND:
Common Council at it" meeting of July 18th, 2006 resolved that the Fire Chief be
commissioned with the responsibility of conducting a risk analysis of the proposed
Natural Gas (NG) pipeline relative to EBPC's proposed preferred corridor. Subsequent
to the completion of the Risk Analysis a presentation was delivered to Council by the
Fire Chief on September 25th, 2006 that identified a number of public safety concerns that
were relevant to the corridor. In addition, a number of recommendations were presented
before Council which included:
Recommendations (Emera)
1. SJFD and officials with SJEMO continue to meet with Emera Brunswick's
representatives with the objective of resolving the concerns identified in this Risk
Analysis; should the parties fail to come to an agreement on resolutions to the
concerns, Common Council direct the City Manager and appropriate staff to present
the remaining concerns to the NEB for final disposition;
2. The Proponent (Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd.) provide hands-on tactical
training for natural gas transmission pipeline emergency response to all Saint John
Report to Common Council
October 19, 2006
Page 2
Fire Department personnel (such courses to be funded by the proponent on an
ongoing basis);
3. The Proponent provide and pay for Command Staff-Incident Command Training for
natural gas emergencies;
4. In recognition that the Bercha risk analysis document outlines structural collapse as a
likely event (Bercha, pA.3), the Proponent provide SJFD with funding to acquire full
capabilities in NFPA 1670 competencies for structural collapse and technical rescue.
This is to include all applicable structural collapse rescue equipment. (SJFD currently
does not have such emergency response equipment);
5. Should the NEB grant an operating permit for the proposed pipeline, then as a
condition of operation (and in compliance with the Onshore Pipeline Regulation,
1999), the Proponent be required to obtain the concurrence of the City of Saint John
with respect to the development and implementation of the Emergency Response Plan
(ERP) and related public safety requirements, to include public notification
capabilities. The scope and nature of the ERP and related public safety requirements
must fully comply with all aspects of NFPA 1600 - Disaster & Emergency
Management and Business Continuity Programs. The costs associated with the
development of the ERP shall be borne by the proponent;
6. The Proponent provide or fund fixed site pipeline training props, to be situated at the
Saint John Fire Department Training Academy. This is to include access to a defined
supply of natural gas for training scenarios purposes;
7. Consideration be given to adding Mercaptan to the natural gas entering the pipeline
so as to provide citizens with an olfactory warning of a leak or line breach; and
8. Consideration be given to adding additional line blocking valves so as to minimize
exposure to thermal energy should a ruptured line ignite (in the urban corridor).
Recommendations (Common Council)
It is recommended that:
9. Common Council give consideration to reinstating a Training Officer's position in
Training Division.
10. Common Council give consideration to establishing the position of "Emergency
Planner" within SJEMO.
In accordance with the recommendations made to Council, the Fire Chief and city staff
has met with company representatives. The following serves to reflect the nature and
outcome of those discussions.
Report to Common Council
October 19, 2006
Page 3
ANALYSIS
Part A:
Since the Fire Chief's presentation to Council, the Chief and his staff along with
representatives from EBPC have met on a number occasions to discuss and examine
appropriate measures relative to addressing the concerns that emerged from the Risk
Analysis. From the outset, the discussions between the parties have been positive and
respectful of the interest of both groups. A guiding philosophy that permeated the
discussions was the agreed importance of addressing public concerns and ensuring citizen
and community safety.
In numerous instances there was a consensus between the parties with respect to the
importance of undertaking proactive measures that would ensure that tbe response
capabilities within the community would adequately meet the response ~quirements
relative to a pipeline emergency. In addition, the parties discussed at great length the
relevance of existing codes and standards which govern pipeline operations which also
serve to protect citizen and community interests. To this end EBPC has committed to a
number of initiatives which would serve to address many of the concerns that were raised
in the Risk Analysis. They include:
A. EBPC, in consultation with City officials, commits to specially design solutions for
the proposed pipeline where critical City of Saint John or third party infrastructure is
in close proximity to the final pipeline location within the EBPC proposed corridor.
These solutions could include added pipeline burial depth, increased separation
distances and other pipeline or infrastructure protection measures. These will be in
accordance with good engineering practice, national engineering design codes and
NEB regulations.
B. EBPC will at its expense and on an ongoing basis, engage SJFD staff in training for
emergency response for natural gas transmission pipeline incidents.
C. EBPC will provide and pay for Command Staff-Incident Command training for
natural gas emergencies.
D. EBPC will engage SJFD and other ftrst responders in southern New Brunswick in the
development and finalization of an Emergency Response Plan. This plan will be
compliant with regulatory requirements and achieve the concurrence of the SJFD.
EBPC emergency planning, first responder training and public education will be
subject to NEB requirements under the Onshore Pipeline Regulations, 1999 (OPR99)
and CSA Z731. As a component of emergency planning, the Emergency Response
Plan must also be subject to these regulations, which are consistent with all relevant
aspects ofNFPA 1600.
E EBPC further commits to initiating a series of exercises to build response capability
within the first year of operation.
Report to Common Council
October 19, 2006
Page 4
F. EBPC will fund staff of the SJFD to attend the Natural GasJLNGILP Firefighting and
Safety Training School offered by the Northeast Gas Association in Massachusetts.
G. EBPC commits to systematically sharing with the City, results of operation,
maintenance and integrity management system audits conducted by the NEB, subject
to NEB conCWTence.
H. With respect to Line Block Valves located along the urban portion of the Brunswick
Pipeline, EBPC commits that if a rapid pressure drop is detected through the SCADA
monitoring system by Houston Gas Control such that the Gas Controller is able to
determine that a serious pipeline incident has occurred, the Gas Controller will
initiate remote closure of the appropriate Line Block Valves. Initiation of valve
closure in this situation will not require prior field confirmation.
I. EBPC is examining the request to place an additional line blocking valve in the City.
J. EBPC will add Mercaptan to the natural gas entering the Brunswick Pipeline so as
to provide citizens an olfactory warning if a gas release occurs.
Collectively, all of these measures will serve to ensure that appropriate emergency
planning, training, and information sharing occurs so as to ensure that an appropriate
response capacity exists within our community in the event of a pipeline emergency.
Inherent in the completed Risk Analysis was a request by the Fire Chief that during
budget deliberations Council considers adding an additional Training Officer to the Fire
Department's Training Division and consider adding the position of Emergency Planner
to the Saint John Emergency Management Organization (SJEMO). During his
presentation to Council the Fire Chief made it very clear that his request should not be
solely attributed to the introduction of the proposed Pipeline to our community. He went
on to say that the need for the additional positions was a result of the cumulative impact
of having a significant concentration of industry in the community. Accordingly, he
acknowledged that the need for these positions has long existed within the municipal
organization, however the additional training and emergency planning associated with the
introduction of the proposed pipeline was beyond the capacity of existing resources.
Although the Fire Department's Risk Analysis did not request financial support from
EBPC for the position of Training Officer or Emergency Planner, the company did
recognize the merits of the Chief's comments and have committed the following:
o EBPC will fund the re-instatement of a Training Officer position within the SJFD
to the level of $25,000 annually.
o EBPC will fund EMO planning costs in the amount of $50,000 on a one-time
basis. This would support the integration of the Brunswick Pipeline in Saint John
emergency planning.
Report to Cornmon Council
October 19, 2006
Page 5
Clearly EBPC's willingness to provide funding for these positions is further evidence. of
their efforts to ensure proper planning and training is available for first responders.
However, given the Fire Chief's view that the need for these resources are not mutually
exclusive to the EBPC's project, it will be necessary for Council to make the final
determination as to whether these positions will be included in the City's establishment.
Since the conclusion of the Fire Departments initial Risk Assessment, additional research
and analysis has been completed. Evidence indicates that historically Pipeline Operations
in Canada are superior to operations in the US relative to lower incidents rates and
property losses. In addition, new information now suggests that a Class 3 pipe can
withstand penetration from 99.5% of all excavation equipment commercially
manufactured. Accordingly, the structural integrity of the Class 3 pipe coupled with the
Canadian regulatory requirements are factors that support safe pipeline operations.
Part B:
One aspect of the Risk Analysis that was revisited by the parties was the probability that
a pipeline leak would lead to a pipeline failure. Initially the consultants retained to
conduct the risk analysis had diverging views as to the probability that a pipeline leak
would lead to a pipeline failure. SpeCifically, Mr. Sean Tracey (the consultant retained
by the Saint John Fire Department) concluded that during a 50 year time period there was
a 97.4 % chance that a failure would occur somewhere along the proposed corridor.
Alternatively, Mr. Frank Bercha (the consultant retained by EBPC) concluded that the
probability of a leak leading to a failure was exponentially lower than what was projected
by Mr. Tracey.
In an effort to fully explore the technical considerations that contributed to the divergence
of views between the consultants, a conference call was initiated. During the
teleconference Mr. Bercha and Mr.. Tracey compared the mathematical probability
formulas that they used as well as the historical assumptions that were considered as part
of their assessments. After a thorough reassessment of the data, Mr. Tracey conclud~d
that he agreed with Mr. Bercha in that' a pipeline leak would not automatically lead to a
pipeline failure. This latter consideration is significant in that pipeline leaks may occur
however they will not always lead to a complete failure or experience what is known as
"unravelling" of the piping materials.
Although the parties acknowledged that the consequences of having a complete failure of
the pipeline would be significant, as a result of Mr. Tracey's supplementary review of the
Bercha Quantitative Risk Analysis, he too has concluded that the probability of sucti'a
major event is reduced. The more probable scenarios, associated with a pipeline failure
leak are more manageable given that such an occurrence would not automatically lead to
a rapid expulsion of Natural Gas. Although statistically a low probability, Mr. Tracey
retains concerns that a catastrophic release such as a jet fIre Of flash fIre within the city
boundaries would have a significant impact on the community.
Report to Common Council
October 19, 2006
Page 6
Part C:
An opportunity continues to exist for the City of Saint John and EBPC to further tHeir
discussions relative to the need to protect critical infrastructure and ensure citizen safety.
Should the parties reach an impasse with respect to which measures are appropriate and
effective then the NEB continues to serve as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) in
these matters. Council can take comfort in knowing that the NEB has both the resources
and technical expertise in which to assess outstanding concerns or interests.
Finally, in the time leading up to the November hearings it may very well be determined
that some decisions may need to be left in abeyance pending the decision of the NEB to
grant the proponent permission to build within the proposed corridor. For example,
discussions relating to adding additional line blocking valves may need to be deferred
until such time as an exact construction route has been identified and applied for to the
NEB by the proponents. In this instance, a detailed analysis of the benefits that would be
derived by installing an additional line blocking valve would be more empirical given the
availability of specific construction coordinates in relation to nearby fixed structures.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, EBPC efforts to provide financial and operational support to the City of
Saint John and their willingness to seek concurrence of the City in the development,of
emergency plans will serve to address many of the concerns that emerged from the Risk
Analysis. In addition, providing an opportunity for the consultants (Mr. Tracey and Mr.
Bercha) to conduct a technical review qf their engineering analysis has served to decrease
concerns relative to the frequency in which a pipeline leak leads to a full failure. Finally,
the opportunity continues to exist for the City of Saint John to present outstanding issues
before the NEB for final disposition. Collectively, all of these considerations will serve
to ensure that public safety concerns and interest are fully explored and assessed.
The completion of the Risk Analysis coupled with the recently completed discussions
between the parties has resulted in a number of meaningful and positive commitments
being made by EBPC. Accordingly, this should ensure that any incremental risks
associated with the introduction of the pipeline to our community are properly managed.
In summary, your Fire Chief and City Manager recognize that there is an inherent risk to
operating a Natural Gas Pipeline in an urban area and there are no absolutes when it
comes to negating all public safety issues. However, we believe that the efforts. as
undertaken by Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company coupled with the vigilance of the"National Energy Board that the public safety issues pertaining to the proposed Pipeline
will be properly managed.

Attention: Mayor & Common Council
My name is Stephen Walton, and I am a sports promoter in Saint John.
I am requesting a letter of support to assist in my bid to bring an NHL exhibition game to Saint
John Sept 7,2007, involving the New York Islanders.
I have already met with the Islanders' general manager, Garth SnoW! as well as executive director
Brian Trottier, where a verbal agreement has been reached. They have asked that I secure a
letter of support from the city of Saint John.
Mike Caddell, general manager of Harbor Station, is very enthusiastic about this opportunity, and
has already provided a letter documenting his support.
Most of our city, especially sports fans, would be familiar with an event held last winter in Saint
John, involving former Hockey-Hall-of~Famer Brian Trottier, which was a huge success. It was
quite an experience to witness hockey history in the making, as it was the first time an NHL hall~
of-famer came out of retirement to participate in a competitive regular season hockey game.
While in town, Brian took the time to meet with a number of the city's youth, and in some cases
caused mayhem whereever he went. This sporting spectacle was covered by TSN and eTV and
because of this event Saint John now has another mention in the Hqckey Hall of Fame, along
with Brian Trottier, myself, and the Saint John Blackhawks. I feel the success of this ~hockey
first" is evidence that my group is more than capable of producing innovative and successful
sporting events in the city of Saint John.
Bringing the New York Islanders to the city presents economic opportunity along with great
exposure for our city, not to mention immeasurable benefits to our sPorting community. Halifax
and Moncton have had great success with NHL pre-season games, and I feel that Saint John has
been left out too long. It's time we took advantage of this great opportunity.
I look forward to your continuing support in this endeavor.
