IAus] Ito] 0l", 0:]Ia91 The Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m. 16 20 Dear Mayor Don Darling and Saint John city council, My name is Josh stephenson, I am the owner and operator of 216 -Taxi. 1 am writing you a letter to discuss the 7 year rule of the Taxi coming into effect on June 1st, 2019 and the issues its going to bring for some drivers and customers. 1 ask that you read this letter throughfully and reconsider the change in age of the vehicle this year. The first issue is that some drivers are not ready for the year in change and they are being put of work because of it. With the 7 year rule coming into effect this year you not only elimate 2010 but also 2011, due to this there is some cofusion for drivers what year is appropiate for this year. The Second issue is the age of the vehicle, I Just went out and bought a brand new vehicle in november and learned painfully how much cars depriciate when you drive them off the lot. 1 find that the 7 year rule is alot to deal with due to inflation in the cab industry, commerical Insurance is spiking higher then ever and Collision is very costly on a Vehicle with a lean on it. 1 asking you to consider hitting the brakes and leaving the bylaw at 8 years in Saint John as 1 believe an 8 year rule would be more reasonable to deal with. Moncton NB has a 8 year rule as well. The Third Issue is the shortage this may bring to Saint John on June 1st for Taxis with the summer Bar nights and tourism Season around the corner. Due to the 8 year rule now we are already dealing with a shortage of cabs in the city so when it gets put down to 7 years 1 predict wait times for customers around the city will be longer. My conclusion on this letter is that if you guys consider keeping the year rule at 8 years it will not hurt anyone. It would make 2011 age worthy and to make it fair to 21 everyone for keeping one year on the road, you could grandfather anyone who currently has a 2010 in for one more year. Anyone who has 2012 and up will be rewarded with an extra year in service for being ready this year. This will also help with any Taxi shortages this year and less customers will be impacted by this. Keep the age at 8 years this year and everybody will be ready for the year change going forward, and only 1 year will be elimated off the road. In addition 1 did not write this letter for myself as 1 operate a 2018. 1 am writing this letter for the lively hood of drivers in the business and keeping prompt service for customers/tourist in this city. I am not only asking you guys to reconsider the year for the Taxi industry but also for the people of Saint John because 1 love this city and I care about the future of it. Thank you for taking your time to read this letter, Josh Stephenson 22 COUNCIL REPORT M&C No. 2019-106 Report Date April 24, 2019 Meeting Date May 06, 2019 Service Area Saint John Water His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Public Information Session: Chipman Hill (Union Street to King Street) — Water, Sanitary and Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. HeadCity Manager Kevin O'Brien Brent McGovern /Brian Keenan John Collin RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that this report be received and filed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to inform Council of a Public Information Session that will be held in relation to the Chipman Hill (Union Street to King Street) — Water, Sanitary and Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction project, and to update Council on the status of the project. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION March 11, 2019; Contract 2019-07: Chipman Hill (Union Street to King Street) — Water, Sanitary and Storm Sewer Renewal and Street Reconstruction Awarded. REPORT The approved Water & Sewerage Utility Fund and General Fund Capital Programs include projects for the design and renewal of the watermain and sanitary sewer, the installation of a new storm sewer and full street reconstruction on Chipman Hill from Union Street to King Street. 23 sa The tender for Chipman Hill has closed and the contract was awarded to TerraEx Inc. at the March 11, 2019 Council meeting. Construction is expected to begin in early June, 2019 and continue until October, 2019. This is a major project that will impact the local area during construction. It is for these reasons that staff have decided to hold a Public Information Session to allow local residents and business owners an opportunity to view the project design drawings, ask questions and give their feedback. The Public Information Session will be held in the Community Room at the Saint John Police Headquarters at 1 Peel Plaza Street on Wednesday, May 8, 2019, from 2-5 p.m. This report is being provided for the information of Council and to extend an invitation to any Councillors who may wish to attend the Public Information Session. The Public Information Session will be advertised on the City's website and copies of the attached notice will be delivered door to door in the project area. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's Priority for Valued Service Delivery, specifically as it relates to investing in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The municipal infrastructure on this street is in poor condition and requires replacement. The renewal of the infrastructure will reduce the likelihood of future service disruptions to the local residents due to infrastructure failures. The storm water and sanitary sewer flows will also be separated on this section of Chipman Hill.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author(s) Commissioner/Dept. HeadCity Manager Kevin Loughery / Chris Roberts Kevin Fudge / Ian Fogan John Collin RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Common Council award the purchase of two (2) Tandem Refuse Packers at a total cost of $600,916.00 plus HST to Saunders Equipment Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City manages a fleet of 52 heavy trucks utilized by the City of Saint John and Saint John Water. Each year, the City's Fleet Services Division works with various City departments and commissions to identify and replace vehicles which have reached the end of their useful service lives. The purpose of this report is to make recommendations to award the latest tendered vehicles and/or equipment which require Common Council approval. The City currently has over 100 vehicles and equipment past their optimal replacement point (ORP, a calculation based on the age of a vehicle, the odometer reading, overall condition and maintenance cost) and this year, vehicles (some of which are the least reliable and most expensive to maintain) will be replaced through the City's procurement processes. The two (2) tandem refuse packers in this recommendation are to replace units 644, a 2013 International Packer with an ORP index of 19, and 647, a 2013 International Packer with an ORP index of 17. 26 -2 - The lifetime maintenance cost for unit 644 is $231,532.53 with $118,540.96 representing the last two years of use. The lifetime maintenance cost for unit 647 is $215,381.46 with $116,642.97 representing the last two years of use. The total lifetime maintenance costs for both these units are quickly approaching the initial purchase prices and the escalating maintenance costs are expected to continue with continued operation. This unit is also equipped with Navistar MaxxForce Advanced EGR diesel engine, which has traditionally had higher than usual life maintenance costs. The tentative delivery date on the new tandem refuse packers is 38 weeks. The new tandem refuse packers will also come will an additional piece of equipment, a helping hand. The helpings hand is a drop frame, side loading unit adapted for manual, semi -automated or fully -automated refuse or recycling collection operations. This equipment should enable efficiencies in our collection process and reduce repetitive motion and weight strain on staff. It also presents the opportunity to optimize our Fleet and potentially reduce redundant units currently being used to offset the downtime. Not applicable. This report aligns with Council's Priority for Valued Service Delivery, specifically as it relates to investing in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES This purchase is a planned replacement of existing fleet equipment, approved in the 2019 capital budget. The funds specifically are provided for in the fleet reserve, funded from the operating budget. The specifications allow for vendors to submit proposals of new and/or used equipment to be evaluated using common criteria.

REPORT BACKGROUND The approved 2019 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program includes projects for floodplain modeling and mapping of the East Branch Musquash Reservoir as well as design of flood proofing/upgrades for the Musquash Water Pumping Station. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to direct engage CBCL Limited to carry out the following services for the above noted project: ♦ Part A — Site Surveys, Preliminary Investigation and Data Collection ♦ Part B — Preliminary Design, Cost Estimates and Design Report (including flood analysis) ♦ Part D — Detailed Design ♦ Part E — Tender Period Services, Materials Testing & Inspection, Red Books and Record Drawings ♦ Part F — Construction Management PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to make a recommendation for consulting engineering services for this project. ANALYSIS On March 29, 2019 with a comprehensive and detailed scope of work document developed by staff, a proposal for consulting engineering services was requested from CBCL Limited. In response to this request, CBCL Limited submitted a proposal on April 15, 2019. Staff was previously authorized to conduct direct negotiations with this consultant for engineering services for the Musquash Water Pumping Station Upgrades project. A Review Committee consisting of staff from Materials Management and Saint John Water was formed to evaluate the submission. Each member completed an independent review of the submission and, subsequently, a Review Committee meeting was held to jointly discuss the information presented in the CBCL Limited proposal. The price contained in the 30 am proposal was also evaluated and staff negotiated with CBCL Limited and settled on an acceptable consultant's fee to submit to Council for approval. The submission from CBCL Limited met all of the requirements of the request for proposal in a manner acceptable to the Committee, with a cost effective bid for the project. POLICY — ENGAGEMENT OF ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS Notwithstanding the City's Procurement Policy for engagement of Professional Services, Common Council has authorized staff with the approval of M&C 2019- 55 to conduct direct negotiations for the engagement of an engineering consultant for this project. The costs incurred by the consultant will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Request For Proposal at the rates submitted and accepted in the consultants proposal not to exceed the Recommended Hourly Rates as contained in The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies — New Brunswick fee guideline. The Construction Management component of this project fee is based on an estimated 26 week construction period. The final fee will be calculated based on the actual construction management period. I<9-1.1rif114F!1,72J.11►%�1►�[�/_►��I�jC��1u1 7 The proposed cost of work from CBCL Limited to provide engineering design and construction management services for this project is $823,620.00 plus HST. This cost is based on an estimated 26 -week construction management period and therefore construction management services are included for this 6 -month period. Engineering fees to cover the costs of design and construction management generally do not exceed 15-20% of the total overall project cost, depending on the nature of the project and the engineering services required. This upset fee is approximately 16.0% of the total overall project cost, which is considered appropriate for this type of work. A total amount of $450,000 was included in the approved 2019 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program for the Musquash Water Pumping Station Upgrades project engineering design (Parts A, B and D) and including flood modeling and analysis. The cost to complete this engineering work from the CBCL Limited proposal is $426,600 plus HST with a net cost of $444,884.05 after consideration of the eligible HST rebate as shown in the following table. 31 -4 - Year Scope Budget Proposal Federal City Cost Cost After Funding HST Rebate 2019/2020 Part A, B, D 450,000 444,884.05 222,442.02 222,442.03 including flood modeling The funding for the engineering design work is being cost shared 50-50 between Saint John Water and the Federal National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP).

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Pierre LeBlanc Brent McGovern John Collin RECOMMENDATION Notwithstanding the City's Procurement Policy for Engagement of Professional Services, it is recommended that Common Council authorize staff to extend the agreement with Aqua Data Atlantic for an additional year (2019) at the same cost as 2018. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to request that Common Council authorize staff to extend the Unidirectional Flushing agreement with Aqua Data Atlantic for an additional year (2019) at the same rate as 2018 ($203,500.00 + $21,600.00 (traffic control) for a total of $225,100.00) . PREVIOUS RESOLUTION April 09, 2018 M&C 2018-99 Unidirectional Water System Flushing June 25, 2013; M&C 2013-141 Unidirectional Flushing 2019 Saint John Water Operational Budget STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's Priority for Valued Service Delivery, specifically as it relates to investing in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure. 33 -2 - REPORT BACKGROUND Unidirectional flushing is a systematic method of flushing drinking water piping by strategically closing valves and opening hydrants to direct water at high velocities through targeted segments of pipe. The purpose of unidirectional flushing is to improve water quality by removing sediment. The key benefit of the unidirectional method is an efficient and effective use of water in comparison with the traditional flushing method. Since 2005 Saint John Water has contracted Aqua Data Atlantic to design and execute a unidirectional flushing program for portions of the City's water distribution system. The 2012 unidirectional flushing program was the first year the entire water distribution system was flushed utilizing the unidirectional method. Since 2012, Aqua Data Atlantic has designed and executed a yearly unidirectional flushing program of the City's water distribution system, similar to how other utilities in Atlantic Canada (Ex. Moncton, Fredericton, Dieppe, Miramichi, Bathurst, Rothesay, etc.) perform their water system flushing. The City of Saint John is required to flush water mains annually as per the Approval to Operate issued to the City by the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government. Unidirectional flushing is the maintenance method of choice for the regular cleaning of water pipes and is fully endorsed by the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government. The unidirectional flushing program supports the goal of providing customers safe, clean drinking water. Unidirectional flushing utilizes specialized software to optimize flow velocities for cleaning distribution piping; yielding quantifiable results. Data is collected by Aqua Data Atlantic throughout the program and a detailed report is submitted to the City upon the completion of the program. The data collected helps to reveal the condition of the water distribution infrastructure and supports decisions made on other programs such as pipe cleaning and lining. ANALYSIS During late 2018 and early 2019, staff undertook a continuous improvement project to look at the opportunities associated with insourcing the work associated with unidirectional flushing and while there are opportunities, the value comes if Saint John Water is able to reallocate resources to perform this work during summer months without temporarily backfilling the resources. At this time, with the Safe, Clean Drinking Water Project still underway, Saint John Water does not have the ability to reallocate resources without backfilling. 34 -3 - It should be noted that there is a significant knowledge set that has been developed over the past 14 years by Aqua Data Atlantic and any change in service delivery will need to be gradual and transitionary. As well, the city does not own the proprietary software used for the flushing sequences and the City would need to undertake the exercise of establishing all of the various sequences In 2019, Saint John Water, while balancing the demands of the SCDWP, will engage staff in the process to begin learning the sequencing and procedures from Aqua Data in preparation for the future consideration of performing this work in-house. Saint John Water intends to have city staff work alongside Aqua Data while they undertake unidirectional flushing in certain areas of the city. If city staff can be made available they would also be tasked with performing the unidirectional flushing of a smaller zone under the direction of Aqua Data staff. This would allow city staff to become familiarized with the flushing process and for Saint John Water to collect additional data for the ongoing continuous improvement project. Please note Aqua Data Atlantic is the only provider of this specialty service in the Maritime Provinces. Staff has considered work previously completed by Aqua data Atlantic and is confident in their ability to successfully carry out the work on this critical project at a cost effective rate (2018 prices). SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The 2019 Saint John Water Operating Budget includes funding for the engagement of a contractor to execute the 2019 Unidirectional Flushing Program. Funds are budgeted and available for this expenditure. Aqua Data Atlantic has proposed to extend the Unidirectional Flushing Program for an additional year (2019) at the same cost as the previous year (2018). The price proposed by Aqua Data Atlantic is summarized below: 2019 UDF program $203,500.00 2019 Traffic Control $21,600.00 Total cost excluding HST $225,100.00 This total cost can be broken down by area which will give Saint John Water the flexibility to cancel an area if it is deemed necessary to issue water conservation measures. Please find below breakdown per area: 1. New West - $38,913.71 2. Sand Cove - $14,709.01 3. Carleton - $20,853.28 4. Lakewood - $9,123.31 5. Cottage Hill - $23,087.56 35 -4- 6.

ARTICLE XII TRANSFERS BY LESSEE 12.01 Transfer Defined "Transfer" means, (i) an assignment, sale, conveyance, sublease, or other disposition of this Lease or the Leased Premises, or any part of them or any interest in this Lease (whether by operation of law or otherwise), or in a partnership that is a Lessee under this Lease, (ii) a mortgage, charge or debenture (floating or otherwise) or other encumbrance of this Lease or the Leased Premises or any part of them, or of any interest in this Lease or of a partnership, or partnership interest, where the partnership is a Lessee under this Lease, (iii) a parting with or sharing of possession of all or part of the Leased Premises, and (iv) a transfer or issue by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition, or by subscription of all or part of the corporate shares of the Lessee or an "affiliate" (as that term is defined on the date of this Lease under the Canada Business Corporations Act) of the Lessee which results in a change in the effective voting control of the Lessee. "Transferor" and "Transferee" have meanings corresponding to the definition of "Transfer" set out above, (it being understood that for a Transfer described in clause (iv) the Transferor is the person that has effective voting control before the Transfer and the Transferee is the person that has effective voting control after the Transfer). 12.02 Consent Required The Lessee will not allow or cause a Transfer, without the prior written consent of the Lessor in each instance which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any statutory provisions to the contrary, Lessor's consent shall not be deemed to have been unreasonably withheld where Lessor refuses consent to a Transfer within twenty-four (24) months of either the Commencement Date or a previous Transfer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Transfer shall be effective and no consent shall be given unless the following provisions have been complied with: There is no default of the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease; ii. The Lessee shall have given at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the proposed Transfer and the effective date thereof to the Lessor; iii. A duplicate original of the documents affecting the Transfer shall be given to the Lessor within thirty (30) days after the execution and delivery thereof, iv. The Transferee, except in the case of a Transfer described in Section 12.01 (iv), shall have assumed in writing with the Lessor the due and punctual performance and observance of all the agreements, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof on the Lessee's part to be performed or observed from and after the effective date of the Transfer. The Lessee acknowledges that the factors governing the granting of the Lessor's consent to any Transfer may include, without limitation, the restrictive clauses entered into with other tenants by the Lessor, the financial background, business history and the capability of the proposed Transferee in the Lessee's line of business, and the nature of the business practices of the proposed Transferee. The consent by the Lessor to any Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent Transfer. If a Transfer takes place, the Lessor may collect rent from the Transferee, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such action shall be deemed a waiver of the requirement to obtain consent or the acceptance of the Transferee as lessee, or a release of the Lessee or any Indemnifier from the further performance by the Lessee of covenants on the part of the Lessee herein contained. Notwithstanding any Transfer, the Lessee shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease. 59 Lease for Stall Space — City Market NAAN-YA BUSINESS RESTAURANT LTD.

Without in any way restricting or limiting the Lessor's right to refuse any text or format on other grounds, any text or format proposed by the Lessee shall not contain any reference to the rental rate of the Leased Premises.

Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by the Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to the lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such re -letting without termination, the Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should the Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from the Lessee all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent and charges equivalent to Rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the Lease for Stall Space — City Market NAAN-YA BUSINESS RESTAURANT LTD.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Chair — Finance Samir Yammine John Collin Committee Ian Fagan Neil Jacobsen Kevin Fudge I;7��1uIu7�►�I �7_� ��[�1P1 It is recommended that Common Council approve the following Climate Change Action Items, subject to the City's Long -Term Financial Plan and required community energy partnerships: 1) City of Saint John Corporate GHG and Energy Action Plan attached at Appendix A and, 2) City of Saint John Community GHG and Energy Action Plan attached at Appendix B and, 3) Corporate GHG Emission Target of 30% by 2025 below 2015 levels and, 4) Community GHG Emission Target of 9% by 2025 and 18% by 2035, below 2015 levels and, 5) City of Saint John Corporate Operation to be Carbon Neutral by 2040 and, 6) City staff to establish a governance structure to manage/monitor the implementation of the community and corporate energy action plan and, 7) City of Saint John shall consider climate change impacts and mitigation measures in all future decision to ensure that residents, the built environment and infrastructure are protected and, 8) Approve the Declaration on Climate Change. 99 -2 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an overall description of the City of Saint John vision, strategy and approach to address climate change across the organization and community at large. Additionally, this report is to seek Council approval to adopt the Community & Corporate GHG Action Plan and GHG emission targets that address Climate change impacts on the City Corporate operation and infrastructure as well as on residents and natural environment. The goal of the City Climate Change Action Plan is to position the City to address climate change impacts while pursuing economic development opportunities and transitioning to low carbon economy. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION In May 2016, Common Council (M&C 2016-121) requested staff develop a Community and Corporate GHG action plan to position the City to meet the goal of reducing GHG emissions while pursuing economic development goals REPORT The City's location on the Bay of Fundy, the St. John River, and the Kennebecasis River makes the community particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change and rising water levels. Additionally, the rising cost of energy and its impact on the City operating budget and community at large, as well as Canada, along with the commitment to reduce GHG emissions, has prompted many municipalities across Canada, including the City of Saint John, to take the necessary actions to adapt to climate change impacts. Current Climate Change Actions and Initiatives The following are a list of initiatives and actions that the City is taking to address climate change: Municipal Energy Efficiency Program (MEEP) The City of Saint John has been an early adopter of implementing energy efficiency measures in relation to municipal and water facilities. The City was one of the first, and one of the few, Canadian municipalities in Atlantic Canada to embark on creating a Municipal Energy Efficiency Program (MEEP). The program has been recognized regionally and nationally as best practice. The following are a list of environmental and economic benefits as of 2017: • Reduced energy cost by over $2.3 Million • Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions by over 9400 tons of CO2 or 24% • Reduce Energy consumption by approximately 8.6 Million KWH and 35,000 GJ of Natural Gas and oil/propane or 30 % 99 am • Received over $22 Million in Grants & Loans • Implemented over 100 environmental initiatives The City of Saint John shall capitalize on the success of the MEEP to transition the Corporate and Community to a low carbon economy as well as address climate change impacts. Asset Management Policy In March 2018, Common Council approved the Asset Management Policy that integrates climate change into decision-making on City's infrastructure assets such as roads, buildings, and water and wastewater systems. The benefits of this policy are as follow: • Increase the City's opportunity to obtain infrastructure funding from various level of governments and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM); • Improve decision-making and risk management processes by considering the vulnerability of City assets to the effects of climate change; and • Include asset management considerations in the City's capital and operating budget processes to better define and improve the City infrastructure's financial sustainability. Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Methodology and Analysis The City of Saint John will be conducting vulnerabilities assessment on the City's critical assets such as roads, stormwater, buildings, etc. The vulnerabilities of municipal assets to climate events (both historic as well as expected future climate events) will be identified and quantified, and options to mitigate these vulnerabilities will be developed. This will increase the resiliency of municipal infrastructure during climate driven disasters, and will assist the planning and coordination of emergency response measures by the City of Saint John. Climate Change Adaptation Plan ACAP Saint John, with support from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, has spent the past year working to develop a design -focused Climate Change Adaptation Study for three central neighborhoods in Saint John: the Central Peninsula, the Lower -West Side and the North End. This study included identifying three small neighborhood projects that will demonstrate climate adaptation in practice. The recently approved Rain Garden Project in Queen Square West is an example of one of these projects. In collaboration with the City of Saint John, and through support from New Brunswick's Climate Change Secretariat, ACAP Saint John will also be developing -4- a Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the City. ACAP has recently initiated the second year of this project. The first year of this project saw the development of a steering committee consisting of stakeholders and city staff, identification of risks and vulnerabilities, and community engagement. The adaptation plan will incorporate Climate Change adaptation strategies for Stormwater management while identifying, assessing and mapping risks and vulnerabilities in the City, and developing adaptation methods to increase resiliency throughout Saint John. The project will provide a robust understanding of climate change related issues for adapting our region and direct both the City of Saint John and ACAP Saint John in on -the -ground adaptation actions and capital investments. Project findings will be included in revised editions of the Municipal Plan and will influence the future growth and development of City neighborhoods and neighborhood dialogue. In-person discussions and community sessions hosted by both ACAP and the City of Saint John will be the primary means of community engagement and consultation, while ACAP will continue to engage citizens with best practices for Stormwater management and community placemaking projects through its well-established social media networks and local media outlets. Guides to building retrofits, rain -gardens and the value of green infrastructure will also be made available via printed and online materials. ACAP will present its final Adaptation Plan to Council for adoption by March 2020. Community Resilience Action Plan The City of Saint John will work with six municipalities across Canada to develop a climate risk and vulnerability assessment, using a variety of tools/methods. The process will result in recommendations for improving resilience and adapting to climate change, with a specific focus on the impacts of prolonged outages of energy supply on essential community services. This project is part of the "Municipalities and Utilities Partnering for Community Resilience" led by QUEST. QUEST is national organization, best known for its work to advance Smart Energy Communities in Canada, which not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) but also help improve resilience at a local level. Deliverables: • Climate risk and vulnerability assessment, with a particular view on the role of energy (Completed). • Recommendations to improve resilience / reduce risk, with a focus on reducing the impact of climate change on energy / municipal services that depend on energy. • Strategy to integrate recommendations with existing municipal processes and plans e.g. Climate Change Adaptation Plan, Asset Management Plan, Emergency Plan, etc. -5- • Access to a network of municipalities from across Canada that are actively working with their utilities to respond to the impacts of climate change. What was accomplished to date: • Conducted baseline survey • Compiled climate data / projections • Conducted 1St workshop in Saint John, to assess strengths and weaknesses (included presentations and 3 table -top exercises) • Engaged energy utilities, Emergency Measures, Insurance Bureau, and Department of Environment to share lessons learned • Conducted Detailed Hazard -Specific Analysis • Prepared assessment report • Monthly calls with all 6 participating municipalities Next steps: • Submit recommendations for consideration • Hold workshop #2 to discuss recommendations, identify priorities (June 12, 2019) • Produce report for each community (Fall 2019) • Produce a guide for all Canadian Municipalities (December 2019) Funding: This project is supported through a grant provided by FCM's Municipalities for Climate innovation Program, Climate Adaptation Partner grants, and funded by the Government of Canada CORPORATE & COMMUNITY GHG & ENERGY ACTION PLAN General In May 2016, Common Council (M&C 2016-121) requested staff to develop a Community and Corporate GHG action plan to position the City to meet the goal of reducing GHG emissions while pursuing economic development goals.

CONTEXT The simple fact of having asked for a greenhouse gas inventory and an action plan to reduce it already demonstrates the willingness of Saint John's elected officials and municipal leaders to do their part in the protection of air quality and the environment! (P. SAINT JOHN City of Saint John I. INTRODUCTION Communities across Canada are facing the effects of climate change. Some have to deal with greater droughts, others with more violent storms. For example, shorter and warmer winters accentuate coastal erosion and damage to infrastructure, which is less well protected due to loss of coastal ice. Such repercussions will cost municipalities and their communities millions of dollars and the implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures in and for communities seems inevitable today. Municipal governments have a leading role to play in climate protection. They have direct or indirect control over nearly half of Canada's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (350 million tons). Canada's goal is to reduce its GHG emissions by 30% below 2005 levels under the Paris Agreement. 101 Page 3 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan B. UMNB CCEI & PPC City of Saint John I. INTRODUCTION CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENERGY INITIATIVE (CCEI) - Municipalities in New Brunswick are increasingly aware of environmental challenges they face, and are particularly concerned with actual and future impacts of climate change. The City of Saint John joined the Climate Change and Energy Initiative of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick, to reinforce its efforts to advance in the Partners for Climate Protection program (PCP). The UMNB initiative fits perfectly in the global and national context of addressing climate change, following the Paris Agreement (COP 21). The UMNB CCEI aims to offer support to members to realize their corporate and community GHG inventories and Local Action Plan, as well as integrate the QUEST Community Energy Planning approach. THE PARTNERS FOR CLIMATE PROTECTION (PCP) PROGRAM is a network of Canadian municipal governments that have committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) and to acting on climate change. Since the program's inception in 1994, over 300 municipalities have joined PCP, making a public commitment to reduce emissions. PCP membership covers all provinces and territories and accounts for more than 65 per cent of the Canadian population. PCP is the Canadian component of ICLEI's Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) network, which involves more than 1,100 communities worldwide. PCP is a partnership between the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability. As a member of UMNB, the City of Saint John has agreed to participate in CCEI. Link to: ACTION-GHG Saint John SAINT JOHN Page 4 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan City of Saint John I. INTRODUCTION C. PARTNERS FOR CLIMATE PROTECTION PROGRAM (PCP) - METHOD UMNB CCEI allows participating municipalities to complete the first 3 steps of the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program. Steps 4 and 5 consist of the implementation of action plans and the monitoring and reporting of results. ��- SAINT JOHN MILESTONE 1 CREATING A GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS INVENTORY AND FORECAST A greenhouse gas inventory brings together data on community and municipal energy use and solid waste generation in order to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a given year. The forecast projects future emissions based on assumptions about population, economic growth and fuel mix. MILESTONE 2 SETTING AN EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS TARGET An emissions reduction target can be established at any time. The target is normally set, however, following the development of an emissions inventory and forecast or after the quantification of existing emissions reduction measures. MILESTONE 3 DEVELOPING A LOCAL ACTION PLAN A Local Action Plan (LAP) is a strategic document that outlines how your municipality will achieve its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target. The LAP covers municipal operations and the community. 111111Ci Page 5 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan A. CITY OF SAINT JOHN - CCEI OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY City of Saint John CCEI aims to design and implement projects: ✓ Which will be examples and role models for New Brunswick and other communities in Canada; ✓ Which will improve the quality of life of communities and can guarantee a better environment and economic benefits (energy savings, income, job creation); ✓ Which will develop expertise for UMNB members and for New Brunswick. SAINT JOHN City of Saint John II. STRATEGY The strategy is based on the following principles: 1. Build an action plan and portfolio of environmentally and economically successful projects; 2. Design model and innovative projects; 3. Set ambitious and achievable reduction targets; 4. Build on existing programs and funds: for example, FCM and GMF programs, Environmental Trust Fund, NB Power programs, etc. ; 5.

SAINT JOHN I1II: Page 8 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan C. GHG EMISSION REDUCTION TARGET For PCP and GMF, the GHG emission reduction targets of participating municipalities are set on a voluntary and non- binding basis. It is important that the targets are ambitious while being realistic both in their importance (projected reductions) and in their duration (year of maturity). Before setting the reduction targets and the action plan timeline, we took into account: • PCP and GMF recommendations. • The objectives of the Government of New Brunswick. • The GHG reduction potential of the municipality and its community. City of Saint John II. STRATEGY The PCP and GMF make the following recommendations: • For the Corporate component, that is, the municipality itself, the recommended target is -20% over the reference year, within 10 years. Thus, if the reference year is 2015, the year of maturity will be 2025. • For the Community component, that is to say citizens, businesses, etc., the recommended target is -6% over the base year, within 10 years. * The New Brunswick's Climate Change Action Plan "Transitioning to a Low -Carbon Economy" (2017) - The provincial government will: 31 - Establish specific GHG emission targets for 2020, 2030 and 2050 that reflect a total output of: a-14.8 Mt by 2020; b -10.7 Mt by 2030; and c - 5 Mt by 2050. �_ SAINT JOHN i1eYA Page 9 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan Municipal composition f • 1 mayor, 2 general councillors and 8 neighborhood councilors • 682 full time employees and seasonal staff and 203 police employees Municipal infrastructures • 183 buildings, lighting, water and sewage • 429 vehicles and motorized equipment In Saint John: • Public library • University • Elementary School • Middle School • High School • Harbor • Airport 2l"- F SAINT JOHN 'r • Ferry • City Transit • Bus Rapid Transit • Taxi Service • Camping • Marina Profile of the community City of Saint John III.

INVENTORY Page 13 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan The City of Saint John has joined the Climate Change and Energy Initiatives Program by commissioning UMNB and YHC Environnement to develop an inventory of its GHG emissions that will be used to develop an action plan that includes a suite of measures. to control and reduce GHG emissions from their sources. SAINT JOHN Saint John's emissions inventory consists of two separate components. The first is emissions from the activities of the municipal administration (the Corporate) and the second covers the entire territory of the Municipality (the Community). 112 City of Saint John IV. INVENTORY am This document covers the Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory for the 2015 reference year of the Corporate Component of the City of Saint John. The relevant additional elements are detailed in the appendices. Page 14 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan A. SUMMARY City of Saint John IV. INVENTORY The corporate component consists of five emission sectors which, in Saint John's case, are responsible for approximately 23 776 tons of CO2 equivalent. The two largest corporate GHG emission sectors are buildings and vehicle fleet. The former produce 32.5% of corporate GHGs, the latter generate 31.1%. Water and sewage is responsible for 21.6% of the Municipality's emissions, streetlights 11.7% and finally 3.1% of emissions are attributed to municipal waste.

INVENTORY A. SUMMARY (continued) In 2015, the energy consumption of the various corporate activities of the Municipality was the source of 23 031.8 tons of emissions (CO2 equivalent). For its energy needs, Saint John uses electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and propane for heating and two types of fuels for vehicles. Electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and propane are devoted to the energy demand of buildings and other infrastructure. Gasoline and diesel are used by the fleet of vehicles and various equipment and tools of the municipal administration.

ACTION PLAN A. STRATEGY FOR GHG REDUCTION AND PROJECT SELECTION Guiding Principles The approach behind the development of the City of Saint John's Action Plan as part of UMNB's CCEI is to develop an action plan that includes projects which : 1) Improve the quality of life of communities (better environment and savings) ✓ Generate GHG emission reductions that meet the goals and needs of the community; ✓ Allow as much as possible to generate energy savings that guarantee the sustainability of the actions of the Municipality and its community. 2) Use community resources to develop the expertise of UMNB and New Brunswick members ✓ Optimize the use of community resources and know-how to maximize socio-economic benefits; ✓ Help develop local and regional expertise to increase the knowledge of communities and New Brunswick.. 3) Will become examples and models for New Brunswick and other communities in Canada SAINT JOHN ✓ The projects must enable UMNB member municipalities to stand out/take leadership, to respond to challenges of climate change for New Brunswick communities, to protect the environment, improve the quality of life, and become role models for action and resilience. i§ri Page 21 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan A. STRATEGY FOR GHG REDUCTION AND PROJECT SELECTION Global Approach ((GOOD PRACTICE)) PROJECTS The action plan prioritises projects considered as "good practices". These projects correspond to the application of, for example, measures and technologies supported by the programs of New Brunswick Power, the Government of New Brunswick or Canada. ✓ These "Good Practice" projects form the basis of the Action Plan. MODEL PROJECTS & UMNB PILOT PROJECTS As part of UMNB's CCEI, the action plan also proposes to municipalities two types of model projects & pilot projects : ➢ Transport electrification & EV integration in the community (P. SAINT JOHN City of Saint John V. ACTION PLAN Page 22 Corporate GHG Inventory Et Action Plan B. REFERENCE LEVEL AND TARGET City of Saint John V. ACTION PLAN The goal of the City of Saint John's Corporate Action Plan is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2025 from their 2015 baseline. For Saint John, the emissions calculated for the year 2015 allow us to estimate the reductions required to reach the target set by the Municipality's action plan to approximately 7 132.9 tons or 30%.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECTED RESULTS OF THE ACTION PLAN �— SAINT JOHN V. ACTION PLAN Achieving the objective of Saint John's Action Plan would mean that the level of corporate GHG emissions for the year 2025 be at 16 501.7 tons of eq. CO2. This is a decrease of 7 274.5 tons from the 2015 emissions level of 23 776.2 tons of eq. CO2. This represents a potential reduction of 30.6%, which is 0.6 percentage points above the target of 30% and 141.6 tons more than the targeted reduction of 7 132.9 tons (see Table 6).

Idling occurs when car owner is warming up or cooling down a vehicle, drivers are stopped at a red light, waiting while parked outside a business or residence, or otherwise stationary with the engine running. For the average vehicle with a 3 -litre engine, every 10 minutes of idling costs 300 milliliters (over 1 cup) in wasted fuel — and one half of a liter (over 2 cups) if your vehicle has a 5 -liters engine.

Some have to deal with greater droughts, others with more violent storms. Municipal governments have a leading role to play in climate protection. They have direct or indirect control over nearly half of Canada's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (350 million tons). Canada's goal is to reduce its GHG emissions by 30% below 2005 levels under the Paris Agreement. The CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENERGY INITIATIVE (CCEI) Municipalities in New Brunswick are increasingly aware of environmental challenges they face, and are particularly concerned with actual and future impacts of climate change. The City Of Saint John joined the Climate Change and Energy Initiative of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick, to reinforce its efforts to advance in the Partners for Climate Protection Program (PCP). The UMNB initiative fits perfectly in the global and national context of addressing climate change, following the Paris Agreement (COP 21). lr SAINT JOHN I. INTRODUCTION THE PARTNERS FOR CLIMATE PROTECTION (PCP) PROGRAM is a network of Canadian municipal governments that have committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) and to acting on climate change. Since the program's inception in 1994, over 300 municipalities have joined PCP, making a public commitment to reduce emissions. PCP membership covers all provinces and territories and accounts for more than 65 per cent of the Canadian population. PCP is the Canadian component of ICLEI's Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) network, which involves more than 1,100 communities worldwide. PCP is a partnership between the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability. Saint John is engaged: ✓ Climate Change and Energy Initiative (CCEI) of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick, 2017 ✓ Member — Partners for Climate Protection program, FCM, 2016 ✓ City of Saint John, NB, Saint John City Market energy upgrades, 2018 ✓ Our Saint John, Integrated Community Sustainability Plan, 2009 147 Page 3 Community GHG Et Energy Action Plan I. INTRODUCTION In addition to the Corporate GHG Action Plan, the Community GHG & Energy Plan 11is the UMNB CCEl second foundation stone. The Plan brings a powerful and dynamic tool to help communities for smart and sustainable development allowing to reduce its carbon print. What is a Community GHG & Energy Plan? The Plan is a long-term plan that identifies ways to reduce GHG emissions and to support the Municipality's local economy by increasing its competitiveness, helping to create local or regional jobs in the energy sector, improving energy efficiency, and improving energy security. In 2018, planning and coordinating energy use and GHG emission reduction at the community level remains innovative especially for smaller size communities outside metropolitan areas. However, in cities or communities where it has been done, it has resulted in some of the most efficient, and from an energy standpoint, most cost -competitive cities in the world, with resulting reductions in associated environmental impacts. The communities that are leaders have taken an integrated energy systems approach looking at the potential for innovation in how energy is sourced, generated, consumed, re -captured, conserved, stored, and delivered. The UMNB CCEI's Community GHG & Energy Plan will be a "living document'; in that the actions taken by the Municipality and community stakeholders are expected to grow and change over time. Why a Community & GHG Energy Action Plan? The Plan is great tool to face community transformation challenges encountered in New Brunswick: Climate change impacts, population growth or decline, development growth and economic transformation. Those challenges push municipalities and communities to examine ways to reduce its cost of services while continuing to maintain and enhance the quality of life. And how energy is used, and the cost of that energy to residents as well as to the municipality, is an important factor. Smart solutions also reduce environmental impacts associated with the consumption of energy. A good strategy and planning can enhance prosperity by making the municipality more economically competitive. Enhancing access to energy efficiency, conservation and demand -management opportunities can also have a positive effect on the local retail and service industry. Businesses that increase the energy efficiency of their facilities and operations can improve their competitiveness in the marketplace. SANT JOHN iEA Page 4 Community GHG Et Energy Action Plan II. THE PLAN'S STRATEGY Vision The vision of the Plan is to achieve a community that is efficient and economically viable in how it reduce its carbon footprint, uses energy through development and retrofits, land use and transportation planning, renewable or clean energy generation, conservation and improve local energy security. Goals The vision is supported by a series of goals that bring focus to mitigating climate change, improving energy performance within the community and creating economic advantage: 1. Foster a shift towards low carbon technologies. 2. Increase energy efficiency for new and existing buildings. 3. Foster a shift towards low carbon transportation that integrates EV infrastructure, promotes alternative fuel vehicles, low carbon fuel options, as well as public transit and active transportation as mechanisms to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. 4. Create or help adaptive, sustainable, affordable, and reliable local renewable and clean energy supply. 5. Design, build, and revitalize neighbourhoods as complete communities that offer multi -modal transportation options. 6. Create new market opportunities for innovative energy solutions that are attractive for local and new businesses, and through high quality, affordable, clean energy services foster retention and growth of existing businesses and industries. 7. Build awareness about energy investment and create a culture of energy conservation amongst residents, business, institutions, and industry. 8. Build knowledge, skills, and technical capacity through partnerships that deliver innovative energy solutions at the local scale. /_1. SAINT JOHN i«; Page S Community GHG Et Energy Action Plan The principles provide direction for the development of the projects and initiatives presented in the Plan. To build and implement an action plan and portfolio of environmentally and economically successful projects all proposed solutions, projects, or initiatives should consider these principles: 1. Advocate for urgent action to address climate change 2. Set achievable reduction targets 3. Maximize benefits for the municipality and the community GHG Emission Reduction Target II. THE PLAN'S STRATEGY 4. Ensure and enhance a sustainable energy system S. Maximize efficient use of energy 6. Design model and innovative projects 7. Build on existing programs and funds: for example, FCM and GMF programs, Environmental Trust Fund, Saint John Energy programs, etc. 8. Create a competitive and economic advantage for the Community 9. Demonstrate global leadership 9°o for 2025 and 18°o for 2035 For the Community Plan, GHG emission reduction target is set on a voluntary and non-binding basis. It is important that the targets are ambitious while being realistic both in their importance (projected reductions) and in their duration (year of maturity). Before setting the reduction targets and the action plan timeline, we took into account: ✓ PCP and GMF recommendations is -6% over the base year, within 10 years. ✓ The objectives of the Government of New Brunswick.* ✓ The GHG reduction potential of the municipality and its community. * The New Brunswick's Climate Change Action Plan "Transitioning to a Low -Carbon Economy" (2017) - The provincial government will: 31 - Establish specific GHG emission targets for 2020, 2030 and 2050 that reflect a total output of.• a-14.8 Mt by 2020; b -10.7 Mt by 2030; and c-5 Mt by 2050. 1._1. SAINT JOHN T 150 Page 6 Community GHG Et Energy Action Plan II. THE PLAN'S STRATEGY Timeline For efficiency, the choice of a pertinent timeline is essential. Because the scope of the Community Plan is important and imply major technological and behavioral changes, we recommend a 20 years timeline. However, for reviewing and monitoring process the Community Plan propose a 10 year step in 2025 concordance with the Corporate GHG Action Plan. Approach and developing the Plan Background data was collected via energy distributors in New Brunswick and from various other provincial and federal sources. Electricity data was provided by NB Power, Saint John Energy and Perth Andover Electric and Light Commission. For all participant, a workshop was held to do a mapping exercise through a community GHG & energy planning process. The workshop allowed the team, the municipality and its stakeholders to identify areas or sectors where GHG reduction projects, conservation and efficiency measures could be focused, to assess the potential for local generation, particularly renewable energy, and look at the energy implications of future growth and prosperity. Webinars were held with each participants to finalize the Corporate GHG & Energy Action Plan as well as to prepare the final workshop to complete the Community GHG & Energy Action Plan. Each municipality CCEI manager invited to workshops and webinars, stakeholders they considered important to assist, councillors and municipal employees. Each Community Plan includes a presentation document and more importantly is also build with a series of tool joined in annexes: ■ Annexe A: Project's description with implementation procedures ■ Annexe B: Excel Projects Sheets with GHG and energy data calculation ■ Annexe C: Mapping document for Workshop (Spatial Quest) As final step, the Community and the Corporate plan are submitted to the Participant Municipality to be adopted by resolution. YHC Environnement, an energy planning and environment consultant, was retained by UMNB to provide services to produce inventories, action plans and the various tool needed. Spatial Quest was hired to do the GHG and energy mapping related to workshop's organisation and as liaison agent with the concerned stakeholders in New Brunswick.

THE PLAN'S SUMMARY Saint John Energy — Supportive Community Energy Plan 2019 in support of The City of Saint John Targets and Initiatives The general targets for the SJE's Energy Use Effectiveness Plan are: 1. Increase SK's annual system load factor from 71% to 75% by 2025. An increase in system in load factor will result in a lower energy demand during peak times, and more smooth energy usage throughout the day. The reduction of peak power demand will improve total system operations, reduce stress on electricity delivery assets, and displace high-cost emitting generation during peak times. The load factor target will be achieved through several demand response initiatives such as the development of demand prediction algorithms, managed energy storage assets, smart dispatchable assets, conservation voltage reduction, and fleets of controllable energy loads. ➢ Target Demand Reduction of 25 MW, and t/yr of 1,170 t/yr GHG. 2. Offer products that allow customers to reduce energy by 10% by 2025. Reducing customers' energy usage will result in less generation production, less greenhouse gases overall, and lower costs to the end users. The load reduction targets will be achieved by installing more efficient energy products in bundles at customers' homes — e.g. mini split heat pumps, ultra high efficiency hot water heaters. ➢ Target Energy Reduction of 9,400 MW/yr, and 2,632 t/yr of GHG 3. Provide infrastructure to allow for the integration of embedded renewable energy resources of 6% of SM s total energy needs by 2025. The integrated renewable energy assets will be predominately wind energy projects and utility -scale solar PV plants. SJE plans to accommodate the first wave of renewable energy projects by 2022, and have a connection -ready process and system by 2025 for additional larger projects. The renewable energy generated will displace emitting generation in the system and reduce greenhouse gases. ➢ Target Vehicle conversion of 20, and 60 t/yr of GHG. SAINT JOHN iIloilo, (continued) Page 22 Community GHG Et Energy Action Plan IV. THE PLAN'S SUMMARY Saint John Energy — Supportive Community Energy Plan 2019 in support of The City of Saint John Targets and Initiatives The general targets for the SJE's Energy Use Effectiveness Plan are: 4. Provide initial pilot installations for residential EV chargers for 20 vehicles by 2025. The pilot installations will be part of the overall Community Program, which will consist of the provision of several public electric vehicle ("EV") charging stations as well as the introduction of a residential home charger rental program. The use of electric vehicles will reduce combustion emissions and greenhouse gases. This target is consistent with NB Power's province -wide target for EV chargers. ➢ Target Vehicle conversion of 20, and 60 t/yr of GHG. 5. Increase SJE's system operational efficiency by 2% by 2025. The modernization of the grid will result in operational efficiencies utilizing more efficient transformers, and upgrading the electrical infrastructure. This will result in more streamlined power flow and lower distribution losses. ➢ Target losses reduction of 24 mWhr/yr and 6.75 t/yr of GHG. 6. Increase SJE's operational productivity by 2% by 2025. Implementing state of the art grid information systems will result in increased operational productivity such as lowering downtime, reducing windshield time for operational crews, decreasing maintenance timelines and costs, and providing more efficient customer service. These efficiencies will be derived by the use of several smart informational technologies, such as AMI, GIS, Self -Healing Networks, Intelligent Fault Indicators and Smart Sensors throughout the system. AMI infrastructure will eliminate 2 maintenance vehicles from the SJE fleet. ➢ Target Vehicle elimination of 2, and 6 t/yr of GHG. SAINT JOHN 167 Page 23 Community GHG Et Energy Action Plan B.

Infrastructure (lighting) - LED lighting (Residential/Commercial/Industrial) (Project #: R1 & IC11) LED technology is more reliable with a much longer life span compared to other types of lighting. According to Hydro -Quebec : "Most LED bulbs last about 25,000 hours, while incandescent lightbulbs last only 1,000." So if they're on 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, LED bulbs could last more than 8 years". In the community, voluntary conversions and those made through information, awareness and incentive campaigns reduce electricity consumption. It is assumed that 60% of the incandescent bulbs will be replaced by LED bulbs at the end of this action plan. lr SAINT JOHN LED lighting 1 Total residential energy consumption GJ 2 267 261 year: kWh 629 794 834 2015 RatioBase 2 Estimated residential lighting power consumption 82 528 22 924 532 3,64% 3 Total Cl sector energy consumption 2 317 362 643 711 632 4 Estimated commercial lighting power consumption 248 421 69 005 887 10,72% 5 Total industrial energy consumption 357 221 99 228 038 6 Estimated industrial lighting power consumption 13 003 3 611 901 3,64% 7 Efficiency gains duetoconversion 55% 8 Conversion rate for 2025 60% 9 Annual energy conversion reduction (residential) 7 565 096 kWh 10 Annual Energy Conversion Reduction (Cl) 22 771 943 kWh 11 Annual Energy Reduction in Conversion (Industries) 1191927 kWh 12 Reduction of GHG emissions from conversion (residential) 2 118 t. eq.

The program is related to the NB Climate Action Plan and will help the community to integrate EV and gradually replace conventional vehicle use. Information : EV use electrical energy to power an electric motor, they also reduce society's dependence on environmentally damaging fossil fuels while lowering greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Electric cars are cost effective, good for the environment and deliver great performance. There are two kinds of electric car: Fully Electric Cars are powered 100% by electricity and have zero tailpipe emissions. Fully electric cars can travel 200-400 km on a single charge. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Cars have small battery packs for short all -electric driving distances (20-80 km) before a gasoline engine or generator turns on for longer trips. 1 2 3 4 5 GHG Offset Target - eCO2 (t) Target number of EV units for 2025 NB CCAP Target for EV units for 2025 (estimated) GHG emissions reduction (tonnes and %) inimum & maximu Total & annually Minimum Maximum 243 79 220 243 0,0% 675 0,1% 6 Transport GHG emissions reduction (%) Maximum & Minimun 0,3% 0,1% 1 7 Savings per year (Minimum & maximum) 80 960 $ 246 620 $ 8 Number of car & IightTruck 51 359 9 Minimum & maximurr 0,2% 0,4% lr SAINT )OHI 196 Page 53 Community GHG Et Energy Action Plan VI.

Idling occurs when car owner is warming up or cooling down a vehicle, drivers are stopped at a red light, waiting while parked outside a business or residence, or otherwise stationary with the engine running. For the average vehicle with a 3 -litre engine, every 10 minutes of idling costs 300 milliliters (over 1 cup) in wasted fuel — and one half of a liter (over 2 cups) if your vehicle has a 5 -liters engine.

The forecast projects future emissions based on assumptions about population, economic growth and fuel mix. MILESTONE 2 SETTING AN EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS TARGET An emissions reduction target can be established at any time. The target is normally set, however, following the development of an emissions inventory and forecast or after the quantification of existing emissions reduction measures. MILESTONE 3 DEVELOPING A LOCAL ACTION PLAN A Local Action Plan (LAP) is a strategic document that outlines how your municipality will achieve its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target. The LAP covers municipal operations and the community. 184IICa Page 60 Presentation to Council City of Saint John Climate Change Action Plan 6May, 2019 Samir Yammine CEM, CMVP, CSDM, P.Eng.
