Dear Mr. Woods,
Please accept this letter and attached summary for support of the Saint John Mill Rats hosting of
the NBL Canada All Star Weekend. The National Basketball League of Canada has tentatively
selected Saint John as the site for the 2013 NBL Canada All Star Weekend. The event is slated
for April 13 and 14, 2013.
This world class, premier sporting event brings all of the All Star players and coaches from
around the league to the event for a fabulous, high profile weekend. The event will also draw
fans from all across Canada, the U.S., and Atlantic Canada (there are 4 NBL clubs in the

Our request for funding for this event in the 2nd quarter of 2013 is $40,000. In the attached
document we outline a number of benefits to the City which include direct revenue from the
event, a financial boost to the local economy, a morale boost to the City, marketing value for the
City, and the effect on our youth.
We appreciate your consideration for this proposal.

PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS: Over one billion people, or approximately 15
percent of the world's population, live with
some form of disability; and
WHEREAS: Persons with disabilities, "the world's largest
minority", often face barriers to participation
in all aspects of society, including education,
recreation, employment, health care,
transportation, political participation or
justice; and
WHEREAS: The Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (CRPD) recognizes that the
existence of barriers constitutes a central
component of disability that hinders full and
effective participation in society on an equal
basis with others.
WHEREAS: Evidence and experience shows that when
barriers to inclusion are removed and persons
with disabilities are empowered to participate
fully in societal life, their entire community
benefits.
NOW THEREFORE: I, Mayor Mel Norton, of
Saint John do hereby proclaim December 03, 2012 along with
the United Nations as International Day of Persons with
Disabilities and encourage all citizens to remove barriers to
create an inclusive and accessible society for all.
In witness whereof I have set my hand and affi
official seal of the Mayor of the City of Saint John.

JURISDICTION OF COMMITTEE:
The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to give its views to Common
Council concerning proposed amendments to the Zoning By -law. The Committee recommendation will
be considered by Common Council at a public hearing on Monday, December 3, 2012.
The Act also authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to grant reasonable variances from the
requirements of the Zoning By -law. The Committee can impose conditions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO COMMITTEE:
1) That Common Council rezone a parcel of land with an area of approximately 447 square metres,
located at 12 Fern Street, also identified as being PID no. 55166029 from "R -2" One and Two
Family Residential to "R -4" Four Family Residential.
2) That, pursuant to the provisions of Section 39 of the Community Planning Act, the proposed
rezoning of a parcel of land with an area of approximately 447 square metres, located at 12 Fern
Street, also identified as being PID no. 55166029, be subject to the condition that the number of
dwelling units within the building be limited to a maximum of three.
3) That the Planning Advisory Committee approve the requested variances to:
a) reduce the minimum required side yard setback from 2 metres to approximately 1,5 metres; and
b) permit four parking spaces within the required front yard landscaping.
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Municipal Operations and'Engineering has the following comments on the proposed rezoning and
variance application:
• Municipal water and sanitary is available on Fem Street;
• It is the responsibility of the owner's contractor to verify grades of the existing mains to
accommodate gravity connections for the new services. Due to the proposed elevation of the lower
apartment, Iikely a private sewage pump will be required — the owner will have to verify;
• There is no municipal storm sewer available;
• A site grading and stormwater management plan is required. The properties to the rear are low lying
and absolutely no site water may be directed to those properties;
• All required parking should be provided for off - street. The proposed parking configuration is not
ideal but is similar to several other properties on this dead -end street;
• There is an existing very low profile asphalt curb on this side of Fern Street that should be
maintained; and
• All applicable permits must be obtained by the applicant prior to construction.

Buildings and Inspection Services has indicated that it does not have concerns with either the proposal
to construct a three -unit building or the proposed reduction in side yard setbacks. Any other Building
Code issues with the proposal will be addressed during the plans examination phase of the permit
process.
Saint John Fire Department has reviewed the proposal as it relates to the above - mentioned
application. There is no objection to this application provided that the requirements of the National
Building and Fire Codes 2010 are adhered to and that construction plans are submitted to the
Department of Public Safety Technical Inspection Division for review.
Saint John Transit has advised that the nearest bus stop to this location would be at the corner of
Westmorland Road and Kilburn Avenue and that there is a very high level of service at this stop.
Saint John Energy has been advised of the application.
Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, Enbridge Gas, and Brunswick Pipeline have advised that the area
is "all clear" and that the proposal is not near any pipeline facilities.
ANALYSIS:
Site and Neighbourhood
The subject site is located near the intersection of Westmorland Road and Fern Street in the City's east
side. The surrounding neighbourhood is comprised of a mixture of residential, commercial and
institutional land uses. The residential uses predominantly consist of one and two - family dwellings.
However, interspersed throughout the neighbourhood are buildings containing a larger number of
dwelling units. Of particular note is the five -unit building immediately to the south of the subject site (16
Fern Street) as well as a four -unit building located at 193 Westmorland Road, which is owned by the
same property owner as the subject site. The latter site was rezoned to "R -4" Four Family Residential in
2003. A number of similar rezonings have taken place on Northumberland Avenue, McLaughlin
Crescent and Margaret Street.
Proposal
The subject site is presently vacant and, as indicated above, the applicant is proposing to construct a
three- family dwelling. At the front elevation, the building would be two storeys in height but, because
the grade drops towards the rear of the property, the rear elevation would be three storeys. There would
be one dwelling unit per storey and each of the apartments would contain two bedrooms. Due to both the
aforementioned change in elevation as well as the configuration of the property, the applicant is
proposing to provide four off -street parking spaces in front of the building, which would back directly
onto Fern Street.
Municipal Plan & Rezoning
The proposed dwelling is located between three existing buildings: 16 Fern Street (a five -unit apartment
block), 193 Westmorland Road (a single - family dwelling) and 195 Westmorland Road (a four -unit
building). The proposal would therefore be considered2an "infill" development and, given the number of
Arthur J. Chaisson Page 4
12 Fern Street November 16, 2012
proposed dwelling units, would not be out of character with the established pattern of the surrounding
neighbourhood.
The subject site is designated "Stable Residential" on the Future Land Use map of the Municipal Plan.
Within this designation, the Plan encourages infill development that is "desirable and contributes
positively to the neighbourhood, is compatible with surrounding land uses, is in a location where all
necessary water and wastewater services, parks, schools, public transit can be adequately provided" and
has a "high quality exterior building design ".
As previously identified, while the surrounding neighbourhood primarily consists of one- and two -
family dwellings, there are a number of buildings containing a larger number of dwelling units. None of
these higher- density buildings appear particularly out of place in the overall neighbourhood context and
the proposed building would be consistent with this established pattern. Further, the complete range of
City services (not just water and wastewater, but parks and transit) are available to site. In addition, the
submitted building elevations indicate that the exterior building design would be of high quality.
Consequently, the Municipal Plan framework is supportive of the requested change in zoning.
Notwithstanding that the proposed development requires some variances from the provisions of the
Zoning By -law, the proposed land use is consistent with that of the surrounding properties and the
establishment of the proposed three -unit dwelling in this context would have no perceived negative
impact on the surrounding community. The proposed rezoning can therefore be supported. However,
due to the size of the lot and configuration of the parking area (discussed in more detail below), Staff is
recommending that the number of dwelling units be limited to a maximum of three.
Variances
The minimum required side yard as determined by the Zoning By -law is the lesser of 1.5 metres or 10%
of the lot width, which in the present instance is calculated as 2 metres. However, because the property
narrows towards the rear, the 2 -metre would not be respected — instead, the applicant is proposing a side
yard setback of 1.5 metres. This variance is considered relatively minor given the configuration of the
property as well as the fact that a number of other dwellings in the immediate vicinity appear to have a
similar setback. Further, the proposed setback would not be below the 1.5 metre threshold utilized as the
starting point of the side yard calculation. Consequently, approval of the requested side yard variance
can be supported.
With regard to the proposed off -street parking, ordinarily parking within the required front yard would
not be permitted. Instead, a driveway access to a parking area elsewhere on the property would be
necessary. However, due to both the slope of the property as well as the configuration of the property
lines, it is not feasible to provide the four required off -street parking spaces other than at the front of the
building. Given these site constraints, as well as the support of the Municipal Operations and
Engineering Department for the proposed parking arrangement, support can be given for approval of the
variance to allow the parking within the required front yard.
CONCLUSION:
The Municipal Plan contains policies for assessing the appropriateness of proposed infill developments.
The proposed three -unit dwelling is consistent the cri 22 a of these policies, which are based on
Arthur J. Chaisson
12 Fern Street
Page 5
November 16, 2012
compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood context and availability of the full range of City
services. Consequently, approval to rezone the property at 12 Fern Street from "R -2" One and Two
Family Residential to "R -4" Four Family Residential is recommended. While variances are necessary to
facilitate the proposal, they are minor in nature and are necessitated by the particular site constraints
(changing elevation and property configuration). Approval of these variances is also being
recommended.

To whom it may concern:
Re: proposed Rezoning and Variance —12 Fern Street
This letter is to identify a major safety concern that 1 have in respect to the proposed rezoning and
development of 12 Fern Street. Due to the size of the proposed building in respect to the lot size, all
parking will be limited to the front of the building in the four parking stalls shown in the application. If
the proposed R -4 building is approved, the four parking spots in front of the property on Fern Street will
not be adequate for all tenants and visitors to park. This will require additional vehicles to park on a
narrow street which will increase congestion and reduce traffic to one direction.
Although I cannot find the appropriate Bylaw, all research on the subject indicates that 5 off street
parking stalls are required for a building zoned as R-4.
Thank You,
Mable London

Sublect: Creatine Better Departmental Efficiencies
About a month ago I bumped into a lawyer that has recently moved back to Saint John from out west.
Among other topics discussed, he mentioned how he was done timing files he was working on, which
started me thinking of benchmarking. Not 5 minutes later, I bumped into a local lawyer who
questioned this matter of timing files. Apparently it is common practice among law firms.
Your Worship, our community needs to achieve greater efficiencies and cost savings at every level and
where ever possible. One opportunity for our City may be with the City Solicitor's office. While the City
Solicitor's office provides a valuable service, being a Councillor for a number of years it has been very
difficult for me to know if it would be more cost effective to have a private legal firm carryout legal work
for the City instead of having our own Legal Dept. I say this because I have never been able to use any
type of benchmark to compare the City Solicitor's office with.
I therefore move, that the office of the City Solicitor to begin next week implementing a time
keeping system which will provide the following measurables: file worked on, time spent on
each file measured by 6 minute increments and a description of the work done in the period
of time on each file.
I further move that the City Manager review all departments to see if a similar type of
benchmark can be used in the near future.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
.91.1
M & C 2012 — 260
October 1, 2012
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: 2013 Water & Sewer Utility Capital Budget
INTRODUCTION
In November 2004, Common Council established 3 fundamental goals /objectives for the
Water and Sewer Utility. These were
• 100% treatment of collected wastewater effluents;
Full treatment/filtration of drinking water;
Adequate annual investment in existing infrastructure renewal.
Subsequent Councils have demonstrated their commitment to these goals through
continued aggressive expenditures in these pursuits. This is evidenced through the Harbour Clean -
Up program (nearing completion), the Safe Clean Drinking Water program (now beginning) and
the substantial investments in existing infrastructure.
The attached proposed 2013 Utility Capital Budget is consistent with the established goals,
is fiscally responsible, and if approved, will move the Utility closer to achieving Council's stated
priorities.
The Utility Capital Budget is unlike other Capital budgets in that it is financed exclusively
by the water and sewer rates charged to the customers (users of the system). This budget is not
directly linked to the property tax rate, unconditional grant, assessment base or other fiscal
pressures and uncertainties. Nevertheless, the Council is acutely aware of the need to establish
affordable rates for its Utility customers. This proposed Capital Budget respects that overriding
concern.
The Components
Treatment of Wastewater Effluent
As Council is aware, the Harbour Clean -Up project is nearing completion. Presently, there
remains only one significant project: Sewerage Lift Station No 31. This project is expected to be
tendered by the end of 2012 and completed in 2013. The funds for this project ($2.3 Million) were
6
M &C2012 -260
Page 2
October 1, 2012
included in the 2012 Capital Budget and will be carried forward to 2013. This construction
completes the overall project. Final project costs are anticipated to be $99,400,000, including the
City's eligible HST rebate as reported to Council on September 28, 2009 (M & C 2009 -318). Of
that amount, $39,200,000 will be funded directly by the Utility, an amount of $28,400,000
($26,600,000 CSIF Agreement + $1,800,000 approximate interest) from the Province and
$31,800,000 ($26,600,000 CSIF Agreement + $5,200,000 GTF) from the Federal government.
There are a number of carry- forward projects, (projects which have begun in 2012 and will
be completed in 2013) related to Harbour Clean -up carrying a total cost of approximately
$11,300,000.
Full Treatment of Drinking Water
Safe, Clean Drinking Water
Safe, Clean Drinking Water is this community's most significant infrastructure initiative.
Common Council has clearly expressed the importance of this project to the community and has
identified it as one of Council's top priorities. This multi -year project requires huge financial
commitments from the ratepayers of the Utility. It is essential that the City explore all alternatives
for construction of the facilities required, determine the most cost effective service delivery model,
and secure funding from the senior levels of government.
The City currently has an application to P3 Canada for funding participation in the project.
All aspects of a potential P3 project are being considered; those being design, build, finance,
operate and maintain. The initial examination of a P3 model, the business case analysis (value for
money), has just begun. This will guide the City's decision making with respect to aspects of
service delivery. This will also be a determinant in P3 Canada's decision to financially partner
with the City.
The provincial government has also expressed strong support for the Safe Clean Drinking
Water project; although the level of financial support has not been determined.
The approved 2012 Utility Capital Budget includes approximately $5 Million for the
project; most of that amount not allocated to specific projects. Approximately $100,000 will be
expended on the initial business case analysis and an additional approximate $95,000 on ground
water feasibility usage.
The proposed 2013 Utility Capital Budget includes $8,065,000 for the project. Of that
amount $3,065,000 is identified for the replacement of an existing watermain across the Reversing
Falls Bridge. At this time, it is unknown as to whether or not this project will proceed in 2013.
Work on the Harbour Bridge, structural capacity of the Reversing Falls Bridge, results of the
groundwater availability analysis all must be determined before this project can proceed.

M &C2012 -260

October 1, 2012
The remaining $5,000,000 recommended in the 2013 Capital Budget, is intended to
advance the P3 investigative process, secure property, exploratory investigation of groundwater
supply, etc. Much more significant expenditures are identified in subsequent years' Capital
Budgets as we begin construction of facilities.
In Renewal
Sanitary
Like all municipal water and sewer utilities, there is a perpetual need for reinvestment in
existing infrastructures. Infrastructure, by its very nature, is installed incrementally over the years
and consequently must be incrementally upgraded, replaced and repaired. Notwithstanding the
patently obvious need for Harbour Clean Up and Safe, Clean Drinking Water, significant funding
must be made available annually to safeguard the functionality of the existing systems, and protect
the environment. Council has acknowledged this basic need each year by providing funding for
infrastructure renewal. The proposed 2013 Capital Budget proposes construction totaling
$5,330,000 to maintain this sanitary infrastructure. Investments will be made in all geographic
sectors in accordance with the greatest need and the most cost effective choices. A listing of these
specific projects is included in the appendix to this report.
In addition to the new projects recommended for 2013, there are a number of carry over
projects which were previously approved in the 2012 Capital Budget. These projects are currently
underway and will be completed in 2013. The carry over projects for sanitary renewal will be an
investment of approximately $4,100,000. All combined, total investment in sanitary sewer
infrastructure renewal will total about $9.4 Million in 2013, including the carry over projects.
Water
The 2013 proposed Capital Budget also continues to invest in water system renewal
projects. A total investment of $3.7 Million combined with $900,000 in other funding will result
in approximately $4.6 Million in new work in 2013. The $900,000 will be provided from the gas
tax fund for the cleaning and lining of existing cast iron watermains. The cleaning and lining
program improves pressure, water quality and fire flows; avoiding a much more costly complete
piping replacement.
The carryover projects, in water infrastructure renewal amount to approximately
$3,000,000. A complete listing of water system infrastructure renewal projects is included in the
attached appendix.

M &C2012 -260

Watershed Protection
Lastly, an amount of $200,000 is identified in the proposed budget for purposes of
watershed protection. The City's water supply is currently predominantly supplied by surface water
in Loch Lomond and Spruce Lake/Musquash. The City has, for many years, invested in measures
designed to protect (limit risk to) the water supplies from harmful influences/occurrences. These
measures have been primarily in purchasing property proximate to the lakes so as to control
development or activity near the water supply. Also, measures may include erection of
barricades /guiderails, forestation projects, etc. The $200,000 is set aside only to be used with
Council authority; as opportunities arise.
Plan SJ — Community Development
The City's new municipal plan was an important input into the preparation of the 2013
budget for the Utility Fund. Section 9.1 of the flan sets out the community's goals for the
provision of municipal services and infrastructure and Policy MS -1 states that the first priority of
the community is to maintain and upgrade existing service systems. This Capital Budget
emphasizes improvements to the existing system and does not involve the further extension of
utility infrastructure. The investments proposed are consistent with the Plan's goal of improving
infrastructure to meet the needs of the residents and businesses in the community in support of
Saint John's economic prosperity and protecting our natural environment. The investment
decisions recommended in this budget are therefore consistent with the City's development
obj ectives.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed Utility Capital Budget has been prepared with the involvement of Staff of
Saint John Water and our Engineering Department. It is a reflection of Council's priorities
respecting Water & Sewerage. Significant strategic investments will be made in infrastructure
renewal; safe, clean drinking water and wastewater.
Similar to other fiscal challenges facing the City of Saint John, Saint John Water must
balance the needs of the Utility, the priorities of Council and the community, with the ability and
appetite of the users to fund the costs of Capital improvements. The proposed Capital Budget
strikes this balance.
The work proposed for 2013 is a part of a longer term strategic investment plan for the
Utility. The longer term plan includes estimates for the Utility's expenditures on safe, clean
drinking water. Funding commitments from senior levels of government will be instrumental in
determining the affordability and the delivery schedule of this Council's objective.

REPORT" TO COMMON COUNCIL
M &C2012 -283
November 20, 2012
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
& Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT; Proposed Operating Budget Water & Sewerage Utility Fund 2013
:: e�i1iJ►17
CA"I
The C'ay of saint john
Council, at its meeting of 19 November considered the attached proposed Operating Budget for
the Water & Sewerage Utility for 2013. The proposed budget is an extension of the approved
2012 budget with necessary adjustments to recognize the significant increases in anticipated
expenditures, and debt servicing payment required in 2013.
Over the next few years, it is anticipated that the Utility will invest heavily in the establishment
of projects designed to ensure the delivery of safe, clean drinking water for the foreseeable
future.
A key component of the Operating Budget is the fiscal requirement to adequately fund debt
repayment for past and future capital expenditures. Coincident with that requirement, is the
need to adjust revenues collected from rate payers such that total expenditures of the Utility are
offset by annual revenues.
Council acknowledged at the 19 November meeting, that the Water and Sewer user rates must
increase incrementally over the next few years in order to adequately fund the ongoing
maintenance operation as well as fund the significant investments required for quality
improvement. The attached proposed Operating Budget recommends an increase in user rates of
approximately 7.4% for the year 2013. This increase is an across the board increase equally
impacting all users of the system.
ANALYSIS
As Council is aware, Saint John Water has adopted a service based budget format beginning in
2012. The service based budget approach allows Council and the public to understand explicitly
the costs associated with the delivery of each of the specific services provided by the Utility.
Appended to this report is a summary of the service based budget for 2013. The stated service
level, the expected service outputs, the anticipated impact of service delivery, as well as the
resource requirements are outlined for each subservice of the Utility. All of these services
collectively express the organizational goals and objectives of the Utility.

Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: Harbour Clean -Up Program Update
INTRODUCTION
The Cky of Saint john
Saint John Harbour Clean -Up is about good health, clean waterways and quality of life. City of
Saint John wastewater treatment and collection systems are being enhanced to protect people and
the natural environment, and to help sustain institutions and the economy. The goal of the Harbour
Clean-Up program which will be achieved is for the treatment of all collected municipal wastewater
during dry weather. The separation of combined sewer systems will continue into the future to
reduce the frequency of combined sewer overflows during wet weather events. Substantial progress
has been made in the wastewater service under Harbour Clean-Up.
The purpose of this report is to update council on the progress of the Harbour Clean-Up Program
c Wiut1TallARK
The Harbour Clean-Up Program is comprised of two major project components, the Eastern
Wastewater Treatment Facility and a Wastewater Collection System which includes a total of
twenty -four lift stations; each with an associated forcemain and gravity collector sewer.
Construction on the Eastern Wastewater Treatment Facility is complete and the facility is in
operation.
The following Wastewater Collection System projects have been tendered with construction
completed:
Bayside Drive Sanitary Forcemain Phase 1 and Phase 2
Thorne Avenue — One Mile Lift Station Sanitary Force Main
Newmans Brook Sewer
Red Head Road Lift Station #1
Bayside Drive Lift Station #2
Crown Street Lift Station #8
Harbour Station Lift Station #10
Chesley Drive Lift Station #10A
Spar Cove Pumping Station #22
Bridge Street Lift Station #23
Riverview Avenue Lift Station #30
Milford Road Lift Station #32
Tippett Drive Lift Station #33
Monte Cristo Lift Station #34 120
Red Head Road Lift Station #50
M &C2012 -285
November 14, 2012
Page 2
The following Wastewater Collection System projects have construction underway with an
anticipated completion date prior to the end of December 2012:
Marsh Creek Collector Sewer
Bayside Drive Lift Station #3
Gilbert Street Lift Station #5
Rothesay Avenue Lift Station #6
Crown Street Lift Station #7 & #7A
Lower Cove Loop Lift Station #9
Highland Road Lift Station #21 & #21A
Kennedy Street Lift Station #24
Riverview Drive Lift Station #28
Thorne Avenue Lift Station #4 is being constructed under the Canada/New Brunswick Municipal
Rural Infrastructure Fund Program and has an anticipated construction completion of December
2012. Lift Station #4 is the Iargest and most critical station in the wastewater scheme and will pump
wastewater flows from parts of East Saint John, the South Central Peninsula and some areas north
of the Throughway through a 600mm forcemain and discharge for treatment at the Eastern
Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Property and easement acquisition for Main Street West Lift Station #31 is currently underway with
the property acquisition for the lift station site being approved by council at the November 13, 2012
meeting (M &C 2012 -277). Some easement acquisition remains to be completed prior to tendering
of the project. Design work for Lift Station #31 is being completed now that the lift station site is
finalized with tendering for the construction of Lift Station #31 scheduled for February 2013. This
Iift station is a medium size station and will operate independently of the other Harbour Clean-Up
lift stations and the completion of this lift station will not affect commissioning (start -up) of the
major Wastewater Collection System.
The following components of Harbour Clean-Up have been commissioned and are currently in
operation:
Eastern Wastewater Treatment Facility
Newmans Brook Sewer
Spar Cove Pumping Station #22
Bridge Street Lift Station #23
Riverview Avenue Lift Station #30
Milford Road Lift Station #32
Tippett Drive Lift Station #33
Monte Cristo Lift Station #34

M &C2012 -285
November 14, 2012
Page 3
The following lift stations are planned to be commissioned by December 31, 2012:
Highland Road Lift Station #21 & #21 A
Kennedy Street Lift Station #24
The remainder of the lift stations (with the exception of LS #31) are scheduled to be placed into
operation by March 31, 2013 in conjunction with Thorne Avenue Lift Station #4:
Red Head Road Lift Station #1
Bayside Drive Lift Station #2 & #3
Gilbert Street Lift Station #5
Rothesay Avenue Lift Station #6
Crown Street Lift Station 7 & 7A
Crown Street Lift Station #8
Lower Cove Loop Lift Station #9
Harbour Station Lift Station #10
Chesley Drive Lift Station #I OA
Riverview Drive Lift Station #28
Red Head Road Lift Station #50
Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund (CSIF) Agreement
The CSIF Agreement (Harbour Clean -Up) was signed by the City in September 2008. The program
completion date was set at March 31, 2013. Given that Lift Station #31 will not be tendered until
February 2013 it is unlikely that the lift station will be fully completed by the March 31, 2013 date.
The City and Infrastructure Canada have been engaged in ongoing dialogue over the past few
months regarding an amendment to the CSIF Agreement to extend the overall program completion
date. Even though the Harbour Clean-Up Wastewater System is scheduled to be in operation (with
the exception of LS #31) by March 31, 2013 Infrastructure Canada has recommended that the
Agreement be amended with an extension to March 31, 2015 to allow ample time for program close
out procedures and to finalize and submit the overall CSIF Project Completion Report to
Infrastructure Canada. The Project Completion Report will include but not limited to: all final
project costs, confirmation that terms & conditions of the environmental approvals were followed,
outputs & benefits achieved, project sustainability plan and a final compliance audit. When the
official amendment is received from Infrastructure Canada, staff will bring it forward as an agenda
item for council approval.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
To date, the cumulative amount committed through award of Harbour Clean -Up Program projects is
$97,527,698.34 including the City's eligible H.S.T. rebate with only Lift Station #31 remaining to
be tendered. The overall total estimated cost of the Harbour Clean-Up Program as reported to
Council on September 28, 2009 (M &C 2009 -318) remains at $99,400,000 including the City's
eligible H.S.T. rebate.

Market Place West — Phase 1 Revitalization Recommendation for Award of Contract
flACKQROUND
r +1
The Cty of SWnt phn
In 2010 Council adopted a Master Plan for the revitalization of the park lands in the lower West Side. The site is a linear
space comprised of eight acres of parkland nestled between the port and the neighbourhood. It is anchored on one end
by the Carleton Community Centre and on the other end by a ballfield. The cost of the overall plan was estimated to be
just under $2 million in 2010 dollars, It was anticipated that the project would be completed in a number of distinct
phases.

CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN Swam
As part of the 2012 General Fund Capital Budget Council allocated $500,000 towards the first phase of this project which
will concentrate on the area between the playground and Market Square West. Earlier this year Council approved a
change to the Master Plan based on input from the community: the area originally intended for an outdoor rink will now
be the site of a splash pad. The splash pad will be constructed in future phases — this year the work consists of
landscaping and amenities bordering this area including a public plaza and community bulletin board, outdoor exercise
equipment, and a new tot lot (playground) for smaller children.

Market Place West Park - Award of Construction Contract for Phase 1
INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES - MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
A public tender call was issued on September 28, 2012 and closed on October 17, 2012. Six companies responded to the
tender call by submitting bids. The results are as follows (including HST):
*Inclusive of HST
Staff of Materials Management have reviewed the tenders and have found them to be complete and formal in every
regard. Staff believes that the low tenderer has the necessary resources and expertise to perform the work, and
recommend acceptance of their tender.
The above process is in accordance with the City's Procurement Policy and Materials Management support the
recommendation being put forth.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
As previously mentioned, a construction budget of $500,000 has been approved by Common Council as part of the 2012
capital budget. Earlier this year the Glenn Group was engaged to do detailed design and provide contract administration
services during construction at a cost of $34,750 plus HST.

Including the consulting fees this project is below the available budget for this project. The contract amount noted
above includes a contingency allowance of $35,000 to cover any unanticipated extras that could arise during
construction.
ANALYSIS
The overall project largely consists of enhancements of existing infrastructure and the addition of new on lands that are
currently under - utilized. While some existing components will be replaced with new upon full implementation of the
plan overall the impact of this investment on the existing infrastructure deficit for park and recreation assets is limited.
This project fits with Council's stated priorities for recreation and the site is located in an 'Urban Intensification Area' as
identified in PlanSJ. Although we foresee minimal impact on operating costs in 2013, as the rest of the Master Plan is

the City Solicitor be directed to report back with a draft By -Law Respecting
Unsecured Refuse on Properties, by the end of November 2012."
As we stated in a previous report, section 109 of the Municipalities Act
authorizes municipalities to make by -laws "for the purpose of preventing
and extinguishing fires and protecting property from fire ". More
specifically, subsection 109(1)(j) authorizes municipalities, in such a by-
law, to require that "buildings and yards be kept in a safe condition to
guard against fire or other danger". Subsection 109(1)(q) provides that a
fire protection by -law may also confer upon fire prevention officers "the
same powers under the same conditions as are conferred upon the fire
marshal by sections 11, 12, 16 and 21 of the Fire Prevention Act."
Based on the above -noted authority, we drafted the attached by -law which
obliges Council to appoint fire prevention officers, who, in turn, are given
the authority to order an owner or occupant to remove or repair anything
that may constitute a fire hazard to an adjacent building. In effect, the
power and authority given to fire prevention officers under the Fire
Protection By -Law is the same as that given by section 12 of the Fire
Prevention Act. The difference being that by choosing to regulate the
matter, the City now gains control of the enforcement.
Pursuant to the authority granted to the municipalities under subsection
109(2.1), the by -law provides that an owner who fails to comply with an
order of a fire prevention officer made under the by -law commits an
offence. Subsection 109(2.1) provides that such an offence is punishable
under Part II of the Provincial Offences Procedure Act as a category E

offence, that is an offence having a penalty ranging between $240.00 and
$5,200.00. It is our experience with respect to the Minimum Property
Standards By -Law that, not surprisingly, a higher minimum fine promise
greater voluntary compliance. The minimum fine able to be imposed by a
court under the Minimum Property Standards By -Law is $1,000.00. The
amount of the fine in the draft Fire Prevention By -Law attached is left for
Council's decision. We note here that pursuant to section 100 of the
Municipalities Act, Council has the authority to impose a minimum fine of
its choice for a violation of any of its by -laws.
Though the City gains control of the enforcement process, Council should
know that in cases of non - compliance with an order issued by a fire
prevention officer, the prosecutorial process is nevertheless subject to the
Provincial Court's docket and backlog. In short, the enforcement process
would unfold as follows:
(1) the fire prevention officer would write and serve an order on the
owner (or occupant ?);
(2) the fire prevention officer would re- inspect the premises to see
whether the owner complied with his order in a timely fashion;
(3) upon finding evidence that the owner did not comply with his order
within the time limit prescribed, the fire prevention officer would
contact our office, and request that an information be laid in
Provincial Court; once laid the information would then need be
served on the owner;
(4) a first hearing date would be set by the Court for a plea, and if the
defendant pleads not guilty, a trial date will be set, depending upon
the Court's backlog, a few months later.
We reiterate to Council that, in contrast with the Minimum Property
Standards By -Law where the City is able to cause the required remedial
action to occur and to recover the costs of doing so from the owner or the
Province, that option is not available under the terms of the proposed Fire
Prevention By -Law. The legislation which enables the City to enact the
Fire Prevention By -Law restricts the City's enforcement initiative to
prosecuting an owner who has not complied with an order of the fire
prevention officer. Upon conviction, the defendant will have to pay a fine,
and may also be ordered by the Court to comply with the fire prevention
officer's order. Should the owner fail to comply with the order of the Court,
the City is able to prosecute a second time, this time the offence being the
failure to comply with a Court order. Section 109(2.3) provides that such
128

an offence is punishable under Part II of the Provincial Offences
Procedure Act as a Category F offence for which a judge must impose a
fine no less than $240.00 and no more than $10,200.00.
The attached by -law allows a fire prevention officer to address refuse on
properties to the extent such refuse poses a fire risk to buildings, persons
or premises.
Over the past number of months, we have been working with the Fire
Department to develop a more expansive Fire Protection By -Law and a
Fire Protection Policy which will not only extend the authority of the fire
prevention officers but also provide for the charging of fees for certain
services. Once there has been a conclusive determination of the services
for which charges are proposed to be levied and the activities proposed to
be regulated, we will be in a position to produce a draft by -law. We are
hopeful that such a by -law and policy can be presented to Council early in
2013.
Council may if it wishes give first and second reading to the attached Fire
Protection By -Law.
Respectfully Submitted,

Members of Common Council:
SUBJECT: PAC Skills Matrix
P.O. Box 1971 506 658 -2800
Saint John
New Brunswick
Canada E2L 4L1
City of Saint John
On June 4, 2012 Common Council adopted a resolution requesting that all
agencies, boards and commissions create and submit a skills matrix to Common
Council so that when there is a vacancy in their membership it can be
appropriately filled. The Committee initially considered the matter and has held
discussions on this topic since the original request.
The committee still finds this to be a challenging task as they looked at the
diversity of the current members and of past committees for examples. It is felt
that this diversity is the main source for strength for the committee as each
member brings their own perspective which best reflects the makeup of the
citizens of Saint John.
As per the subsequent request from Council the committee has developed the
attached skills matrix. Each current member of the committee has been profiled
against this matrix in order to provide a reference baseline. It is the committee's
understanding that this matrix provides a guideline to the nominating committee
when filling positions or renewing exiting members
Explanation of the criteria and the committee's rationale:
•
CLty Ward Represented
Min: 1 per Ward Max: 3 per Ward
o Selecting members from a cross section of the city ensures all areas are
represented.
Total Years Lived in Saint John
Min: 1 year Max: No Limit
o The threshold is low at one year, as not to exclude newcomers to the
city from participating. Care should be taken to ensure that newcomers
have attained a reasonable level of orientation of the City's unique
communities prior to being appointed.
138
561
a Home Owner within Designated Heritage Conservation Area
• Min:0 Max:2
• Properties within the Heritage Conservation Area have unique and
extra requirements. Having a member familiar with these additional
rules on the committee is an advantage when applications of this
nature come forward. The minimum is set to 0 indicating that while
desired this representation is not mandatory. The Maximum of 2 is to
limit the bias which may be held with a special interest group.
a Common Council Member
• Min:0 Max:1
• Recognizing that Community Planning Act allows for up to 4 members
of council to be on the PAC, the committee members feel that council
participation is not necessary and would place an additional demand
on the councillor's time. While there is some benefit of continuity by
having a council member on the committee, the full separation of the
PAC from council allows for each group to be completely
independent. The Planning process ultimately allows council to have
the final approval after the knowledge that application has been
completely heard in a public forum. Therefore it is not seen as
necessary for a council member to be appointed to the committee.
a Employer
• Min: N.'A Max: 2 per Company or Parent Organization
• To ensure diversity and limit any possible bias, it is essential that there
be no more than 2 members employed by the same company. In cases
of large organizations; JD Irving, Bell Aliant, the parent company
should be considered the employer.
a Small Business Owner
• Min:1 Max :2
• Where Small Businesses make up some of the applications which
come before the committee it is felt that there should be at least one
small business owner on the PAC at all times. This allows for an
understanding of the perspective of the applicant and their challenges.
The maximum of 2 is to prevent a bias similar to that of Employer
category.
• Construction / Development Experience
• Min:I Max:2
• Similar to Small Business Owners, Developers make up a number of
the applications which come before the committee. Having a PAC
member with this type of background and experience has been
incredibly valuable when considering the details of the applications.
The maximum of 2 is to prevent a bias of similar perspectives.
139
-3-
Architecture / En 'neerin / Planning Experience
• Min:1 Max:2
• While the reports from staff are comprehensive and very well written,
having a technical resource on the committee has been a significant
advantage as they can ask technically probing questions of the
applicant or their agent. These members are not a substitute for a
technical representative from the Engineering or Building Inspection
Departments. The maximum of 2 is to respect that non - technical
opinions are important in the overall decision of the committee.
a Prior Committee Exnerience
o Min:3 Max:9
o The structure and formality around the process of the PAC can be
daunting at times and new members take some time to feel
comfortable. Having prior committee experience is essential for at
least 3 of the members who may be called uFon to fill the executive
positions of Chairperson, Vice Chair, and 3' Chair.
• PAC Term
a Min: N/A Max: 3 terms — 3 years each term
o Experienced members provide leadership to the newer PAC members.
With this experience there is also continuity and first hand memory of
recurring applications such as subdivisions in phases. While this
experience is valued, the committee feels that that a limit of 3 terms
served is necessary to ensure that the committees' perspectives will
keep pace with the changing times.
Prior Citv Emnlovee
o Min:0 Max:1
o Retired members of city staff should be afforded the opportunity to be
proportionately represented on the committee if they chose to apply. A
minimum of 0 means this is not mandatory while the maximum of 1
member from this group is to ensure diversity.
Members of Other committees.
• Min:0 Max:1
• Active members of other committees which have a specific
responsibility around "Land Use Planning" such as the "Heritage
Committee" or the SJ Industrial Park Committee" should not be
appointed to PAC while they are currently sitting. Participating on
both committees at the same time would afford them the ability to
promote their position on similar applications across the two groups.
This would not apply to non - related committees like "Pro Kids ", or
"Pulse ".
140
-4-
The PAC committee members respectively submit this matrix for your
consideration and guidance when filling vacant positions on PAC. These
guidelines are simply that and the understanding is that the nominating committee
will always chose the most appropriate candidate respecting the desire to create a
diverse and balanced Committee.

Dear Mayor & Council,
COMMON' •','+ t "� e
NOV 2 8 2012
CITY OF
Subject: City of Saint John Employee Pension Plan
Let me first thank, Mayor and Council, for recognizing the need to change
the current City of Saint John Employee Pension Plan, as the current
model is not sustainable over the long term.. The last 5 to 20 years of low
interest rates and volatile investment markets; combined with the demand
of the taxpayer to limit future liability has created an environment, which
is challenging and filled with uncertainty.
The question that comes to mind is "Why do consecutive councils paint
themselves into a corner?" The actions of this council to limit yourselves
to one opinion, is ill- advised when debating any important issue which
could have a profound and lasting effect on our great city. When
Councilor McAlary asked "really, what other solution have we been
given" the answer is obvious, council did not ask for an alternate plan. If.
I am selling Maytag, I doubt I would offer you Westinghouse, Ms
Rowland from her first presentation made it clear this was about the
shared plan and I predicted the next morning that would be the plan
proposed to council. This council had amble opportunity to explore other
options but chose to limit the possibilities going against the wishes of the
citizens of Saint John. Over the last year if you were paying attention,
one need not have the public tell you at election time but listen and learn
over the past 6 years.
143
A very disturbing point which made its way into the presentation without
much fanfare or reaction from council was the fact that once this plan is
implemented, this all future councils will be unable to manage employee
levels base on financial considerations or manpower requirements,
effectively giving all employees the no layoff clause currently enjoyed by
Local 1.8. In order to eliminate layoff anyone council would need to seek
the approval of the Commissioner of Pensions. This in itself is
unacceptable.
Open your eyes and ears, this is not about Saint John, but all about the
individual taxpayer ability to carry the burden of a poorly managed city
brought about by both senior management and council. Let's not .forget
the taxpayer's responsibility for this mess by continuing to elect councils
who do not grasp the seriousness of this situation.
Now what do we do now.

the public has a better opportunity to participate in the planning process.

by the end of June and before mid - November unless otherwise
directed by Common Council. Some major ABC'S may wish to
report in person to Common Council on a more regular basis and
that will be determined on an individual basis at the wish of
Common Council
2. All appointments made by Council for all ABC'S will be for a
period of three years with the possibility of one re- appointment
term of three years which would allow an individual to serve a
total of six years. After an individual has served a total of six
years the individual must remain off that particular ABC for a
period of at least one year. This will become effective as of the
date of this report being approved by Common Council.
3. If Members of Common Council are nominated to serve on any
given ABC they will serve only their full term of Council period.

To Mayor and Council;
Subject: Pension Plan
The pension issue is the most serious challenge faced by our City since the Great Saint John Fire
of 1877 which saw our City decimated and left in smoking ruins.
In view of the all the ramifications of the pension situation, and because we are not, ourselves, a
group of pension experts, we must have independent professional advice to assist us in assessing
the Task Force's recommendation. We simply cannot commit our City and our citizens to a
minimum fifteen year commitment and all that it entails without a "second opinion ".
Motion #1: That Council hire an independent expert to review the proposal by the Pension Task
Force and to make a recommendation to Council on how we should proceed. This expert must
not be recommended by either the Pension Task Force or City Staff, but instead, chosen by
Council.
Motion #2: That Council does not vote on the recommendations until two weeks after receiving
the above expert's report.

"RESOLVED that Common Council direct the Common Clerk to report back to Council regarding the
creation of an electronic solution whereby the Nominating Committee:
(1) Would have safe, secure and convenient access of applicant's resumes and CV's.
(2) Could view a comprehensive list of the ABCs, their respective members and mandate"
I am pleased to advise that access to volunteer applications for agencies, boards and commissions, as
well as a listing with summary mandates is now available to the Nominating Committee. These are
accessed at the same location as Council agenda packets.
Recommendation: Receive for information.
Respectfully submitted,
Elizabeth Gormley

Dear Mayor and Council,
♦ Education
♦ Prevention
♦ Support
♦ Advocacy
In light of the motion put forth by Councillor Fullerton suggesting police target Sex Trade workers for
Jaywalking and improper use of the sidewalk, we are writing to request an opportunity to make a
presentation to council detailing the complex social and psychological factors which lead women to
participate in the Survival Sex Trade in Saint John and the monumental challenges they face in trying to
rebuild and reshape their lives.
Certainly there has been considerable debate in the community and media since this motion was
approved. It is disturbing, and certainly a step backwards from a human rights perspective, that such a
motion would be approved by council. We are confident though, that given a clear and concise picture
of the desperation these women experience daily and the obstacles service providers experience in
trying to assist them, council will develop increased sensitivity to this marginalized population and move
towards assisting rather than penalizing them.
We can be available to present at vour convenience and look forward to your response to this reauest.
Sincerely
Julie Dingwe AIDS Saint John
