Read a second time by title, the by- 100 - Common Council Minutes November 28, 2016 The City Manager highlighted that the staff recommendation differs from that of Korn Ferry in regards to the proposed annual increase for Council salaries. The draft 2017 general operating fund budget has allotted funding for the proposed increase in compensation should Council wish to proceed with the recommendation.

Staff recommends that Council maintain the $12 million proposed by the Finance Committee for the Capital Budget. Responding to a question regarding specific metrics for contingency items, the City Manager explained that the contingency funding is an artificial tool used to demonstrate the City is supportive of a particular project. The west side splash pad meets many of the criteria considered by staff when recommending funding for projects.

The nature and extent COUNCIL REPORT M&C No. 2016-282 Report Date December 02, 2016 Meeting Date December 12, 2016 Service Area Saint John Water His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Engineering Services sM REPORT BACKGROUND The Musquash Water Pumping Station is a critical piece of infrastructure located in the East Musquash Watershed. This station is used to supplement the available water in Spruce Lake, which currently supplies drinking water to West Saint John as well as supplying raw water to industrial users. Following the completion of the Safe Clean Drinking Water project, Spruce Lake will no longer be used as a primary source for West Saint John drinking water, however it will remain as a backup drinking water supply and will remain as a vital piece of infrastructure that will provide water for industrial users. In 2013 the City commissioned CBCL Limited to complete a facilty assessment and preliminary design for upgrades at the Musquash Water Pumping Station. As a result of the facility assessment and preliminary design, one of the key recommendations was that a new electrical substation be constructed for this facility and that it be moved to a higher elevation in order to reduce the risk of flooding. Typically, the Request for Proposal method requires a period of 7 to 8 weeks for each substantial project. Direct Engagement provides the City the opportunity to identify consulting firms best equipped to complete the designs in a timely manner and significantly reduces the administrative time which is inherent with a traditional call for proposals. The direct engagement process also affords the City staff to fine-tune the details of the engagement in order to achieve the best value for money for the City. The detailed design and construction management work for this project is an extension of the work previously completed by CBCL Limited to date on this project and it would be appropriate for CBCL Limited to continue with this work. Staff has considered work previously completed by CBCL Limited and is confident in their ability to successfully carry out the work on this critical and complex project. Provided an acceptable agreement can be reached with CBCL Limited, a subsequent report will be submitted to Council identifying the negotiated fee for the engineering servic am project team, work plan, schedule and a fee to complete all the work identified. Staff would then review their submission and evaluate the proposed fee for the project. Staff would then seek to settle on an acceptable fee with the consultant for submission to Council. Should staff be unable to reach an acceptable agreement with CBCL Limited, staff would report back to Council and seek approval to negotiate with an alternative consultant for the project or to implement a public call for proposals. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES An amount of $200,000 is included in the 2016 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program for engineering design services for the Musquash Water Pumping Station Upgrades project. The approved 2017 and the proposed 2018 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital programs include funding for the construction and construction management components of the project. 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. The costs incurred by the Consultant would be paid in accordance with the terms of the Request for Proposal at the rates submitted and accepted in the Consultant h-:Um COUNCIL REPORT M&C No. 2016-310 Report Date December 06, 2016 Meeting Date December 12, 2016 Service Area Growth and Community Development Services His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Proposed Public Hearing Date Ira STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT While the holding of public hearings for proposed rezoning and Section 39 amendments is a legislative requirement of the Community Planning Act, it is also a key component of a clear and consistent land development processes envisioned in the One Stop Development Shop Program. These processes provide transparency and predictability for the development community and City residents. On a broader note, the development approvals process works towards fulfilling key Council priorities including: 0 ensuring Saint John has a competitive business environment for investment, 0 supporting business retention and attraction; and 0 driving development in accordance with PlanSJ which creates the density required for efficient infrastructure and services.

E212 1It9 ga rryprosser a@rogers. con, (506) 633-5900 City of Saint John PO Box 1971 Saint John, N.B. E21- 41-1 Att: IWayor and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Saint John_ Police Department Council Wovember 27, 2016 A rECM VLc; L i L.� f Al On December 12, 2014,1 e-mailed the mayor and each Councilor to ask a question. Trying to be polite and avoid any fanfare going through Council, I thought this might be the best method. Unfortunately, I did not receive an answer. To qualify my question, let me say: "There is a complete disregard to speed limits in the City of Saint John and the worst is highway #1 going through our City". Recorded speeds on H/W #1 of 160, 140 & 148 KM per hour in a 90KIUIPH zone (or less) are just three examples. *****This is NO reflection on our officers, they are doing a great job and their efforts are to be complimented. It's caused by not having enough officers on patrol on our City streets. Not the reason for this letter, but I'm sure all will agree, the biggest issue is the amount of time being spent on MHA (mental health issues). The federal and provincial governments have downloaded this problem to every City and it's time Council becomes 1.1volved to address. With over 25% of our City's population on assistance, this problem is becoming more severe each year. The question I asked two (2) years ago and will repeat now:: "Why is the City o" Saint John providing police coverage on HIW #1 - including the Harbour Bridge?" This is a ProvinciallFederal Trans -Canada highway and it should not be our responsibility - without compensation to hire officers to patrol on a full time basis. Please do not confuse need with financial responsibility. Policing on H1W #1 is not adequate and the Mime our officers do spent on H1W #1, is less time to patrol our City streets. I could give many examples, but they would only serve to divert attention from the question. There is a solution - with terms and conditions and your involvement is overdue. Do not forward this letter to the Police Commission to deal with, its your responsibility to dictate to the ft ommission their duties concerning HIW #1. This should not fall under their mandate. Certainly, asks :heir opinion, but this is a Common Council issue that reeds to be dealt with. raise this question again due to a continued concern for safety on our City streets. "ours truly �Garry Prosser WPM$ FETE] RECEIVED COMMON CLERK'S OFFICE MOV 2 5 2015 To: Mayor Darling and Common Council Members CITY OF SAINT JOHN RE. Application from Saint John Markets Group Inc. for development of Lot P/D 55091433 Lot on the corner of Newman and Holly Street. We the people who would be most affected by this would appreciate it if council would consider the following. Safety: Peter and Ann Boyce of 15 Victoria Street have two apartment doors that open directly onto the laneway. With upwards of 20 vehicles using this it is not hard to imagine an accident happening with a vehicle and someone exiting one of these doors. Fire trucks now use the access road from the foot of Newman street that has been in existence for 60 plus years. Fire Trucks cannot turn off Victoria Street as 10 ft laneway is too narrow for a 30 plus ft by 9 foot wide fire truck to turn onto this laneway There is no place to push the snow from the proposed building lots, nor can the snow Be pushed onto Victoria Street or Newman Street, It also cannot be pushed onto the adjoining properties as this would block access to our homes. Neither can we invision a loader and a truck being able to safely remove snow without going off the laneway or without blocking access for an unacceptable time. The laneway at only 10 ft is not wide enough for cars to pass one another causing gridlock. Again causing safety concerns for fire and ambulance access where minutes can mean a the difference between life and death We are all retired or moving into retirement shortly. We have deeded rites to the Laneway (form 1922) —, m Lets be proactive and negate these problems now. Let's not go to Litigation We would also like to say these old laneways were never meant to be roadways. By adding six plus vehicles onto this laneway it is effectively okaying using a 10 ft wide roadway for so much traffic. There needs to be a discussion by city officials and maybe Provincial representatives on this matter as there are many other situation just like this one, not only in New Brunswick, but also in Nova Scotia. There is also the issue of cramming houses together- Remember the fire of 1877 or the Main street fire on or about 1960. At 6.96 Meters or 22.6 Ft, these lots are too small. If you allow this type of development to prevail the North End will end up losing value as a neighborhood where people choose to build and live, it will instead become a neighborhood of high density, lower Class developments and lower the value of the entire neighborhood. We the people, believe the value of individual properties would increase along with the desire to live here if we encourage better homes on larger lots. In the end you would find even more development happening. After all who wants to live in a hen house. High density, lower class buildings invite lower class citizens into one are. We need to diversify all areas of the city not cram all the less fortunate and criminal elements into what would surely become a war zone. To give people a chance to succeed to give them a better place to live with more opportunity and examples of a better way of life. This is an ill thought project that is driven by profit and not by the desire to better the community or our neighborhood. This project will destroy our way of life .as it is now. It will heap unsafe situations on us and deteriorate our enjoyment of our properties and the comoradery of we the long time occupants of this little area that is home. Sig ned ��' 141 ..... ......... 'J .. /...... G I.. A .. We could pay a pro rated price for that piece of land, cut from the main lot Council could accept that price as green space for the larger lots, as we sure there would be lots of lawns and trees on what they propose to build anyway, Then we could apply to buy it and make a common access.

Regardless of anyone's apology or intended actions in this matter - or their position as a city councillor - I believe the issue should be properly pursued as Destruction of Public Property and that the City should take whatever remedial action would be taken in a similar circumstance if it were carried out by a private citizen not holding public office, It is of great concern to me that this matter be given proper attention and action. I am saddened by the destruction I saw in my community, and would like that it be dealt with in an appropriate manner so as to avoid any similar occurrences in the future.

It was great to speak with you a few minutes ago about the Canada 150 Community Leaders network. To recap our conversation, FCM sent a letter in mid-September, see below, inviting your municipality to designate one or more individuals as a Community Leader to be part of the Canada 150 Community Leaders Network. We are accepting names until mid-December as we continue to build this great network of municipal voices. Community Leaders will be asked to share information through their networks, and if available, to participate in local events. There are no associated costs or travel requirements and the time commitment is estimated at less than 2 hours per month. Canada 150 Community Leaders may be a council member or prominent community representative. Many municipalities have identified multiple Community Leaders to ensure a strong representation from their municipality. Further information, a toolkit and forms are available at www.fcm.ca/Canadal50. For any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me at communit leaderscommunautaires fcm.ca or by ringing 613-907-6375. Thank You, Jennifer Dear Mayor and Members of Council, The Federation of Canadian Municipalities {FCM} is creating the official network of Canada 150 Community Leaders which represents a unique opportunity for local leaders across the country to get involved in the 150th anniversary of Confederation. We are launching the Canada 150 Community Leaders network with an invitation to designate one or more leaders from your municipality. These individuals will act as your municipal leaders to inspire civic action towards Canada 150 events in your community, serve as a touchpoint to share Canada 150 information and inspiration, and be members of a network that could extend well beyond 2017. A member of council can become a Community Leader or a prominent community representative can be identified. You can also choose more than one individual, ensuring a strong representation from your municipality. ❑❑ To help you identify a Community Leader we have developed the Canada 150 Community Leader web page at wwm-.fcm.ca/Canadal50. There you will find additional information and a form to submit your Community Leader's name. I encourage you to review the information and to submit the name of your Community Leader in one of the following ways: Use the online form available at www.fcm.caXanada150, i> Send us an email at Communit LeadersCommunautaires a fcm.ca with the name of your Community Leader and their contact information. Please send us the name (s) of your Community Leader(s) before October 15 or earlier. We hope you will join us in bringing the municipal voices to the forefront for the year-long celebrations, and for years to come.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Saint John Industrial Parks (SJIP) Ltd. is requesting the City of Saint John provide interim financing for the second time to facilitate the payment of the final construction invoice as per the attached letter from the SAP Board -2 - PREVIOUS RESOLUTION Adopted at the Council meeting of August 4, 2015: RESOLVED that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report M&C 2015-161: Interim Project Financing Saint John Industrial Parks, Common Council authorize the Commissioner of Finance to provide Interim Project Financing to Saint John Industrial Parks during the construction of the Spruce Lake Barge Facility in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 at the rate of interest normally charged to the City of Saint John plus 1.00 percent plus any other costs that the City of Saint John may incur on the condition that the repayment of this Interim Project Financing be made by Saint John Industrial Parks upon receipt of claims payments from Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Regional Development Corporation and no later than June 30, 2016. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT N/A REPORT As members of Common Council are aware SJIP has completed the construction of the Spruce Lake Barge Facility. The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and the Regional Development Corporation (RDC) have each committed to invest up to $3 million towards the project, which along with the $1.5 million contribution from SJIP represented the full funding of said project. Under the cost sharing agreement, funding from ACOA and RDC is based on a reimbursement of paid expenditures through the submission of a claim. ACOA typically pays within 30 days and RDC is usually in the order of 10-12 weeks. SJIP recently received its final invoice from Caldwell and Ross in the amount of $1.026m. SJIP currently has $950,000 in reserves with a variety of claims and expenditures planned over the next 3 month period.

The project was funded at $7.5 million in a cost sharing agreement which saw Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and Regional Development Corporation (RDC) each invest up to $3 million to match Saint John Industrial Parks Ltd.V(SJIPL) $1.5 million contribution. SJIPL has recently received the final invoice from Caldwell and Ross (contractor) in the amount of $1.26 m. SJIP currently has approximately $950,000 cash reserves with year-end and Q1 2017 activities to consider. As such, there may be cash flow demands that will outstrip the &RP SDCEIVL L MIUM/C LCE XH❑ C HaL +W ❑ 11K011 [KHL Company works through its claim reimbursement process with ACOA and RDC for paid expenditures. SJIPL working with Teed Saunders Doyle and city staff has determined it requires an operating credit line of up to $250,000 for a period of up to 3 months (December 15, 2016 - March 15, 2017). SJIPL has investigated securing a Letter of Credit from its banking institution the Bank of Nova Scotia. The requirements to secure this financial mechanism are onerous. SJIPL is asking the City if it would consider acting as a bank to SJIP for a second time and help reduce the red tape to SJIPL and at the same time allow the City to secure the interest and fees which would alternately leave the City/SJIPL coffers. It should be noted that the City provided SJIP with a $1.8 m operating line in August of 2015 which the project leaned on for $500,000 over a short 5 week period in late 2015.

I I' COUNCIL REPORT M&C No. 2016-296 Report Date December 06, 2016 Meeting Date December 12, 2016 Service Area Finance and Administrative Services His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Easement from Saint John Port Authority at Rodney Terminal OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Curtis Langille Kevin Fudge I Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION 1. That The City of Saint John acquire from Saint John Port Authority, an Easement for storm water pipe in lands being PID # 55151351 upon the terms and conditions contained in the agreement, attached to M&C 2016- 296; and 2. That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute any document(s) necessary to finalize this transaction. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Saint John has a number of lease agreements with the Saint John Port Authority (SJPA) for the placement of various storm water infrastructures on Port land. There are approximately 10 such leases that require frequent hands- on administration responsibilities to ensure these leases are up to date and that their annual fees are paid in full. Rather than a renewal of lease, the SJPA has provided an easement document to the City for the Rodney Terminal storm water infrastructure which is due for renewal. The legal document has essentially all of the same terms and conditions as the previous lease but there will be no termination date, unlike the lease document. There is a provision in the legal document for annual rent increases to be adjusted annually following the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for New Brunswick. This new legal document will provide a more efficient method to administer the land rights between the City and SJPA. City staff has reviewed the document and are in agreement with the terms and conditions. -2 - PREVIOUS RESOLUTION N/A STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Implement policies that maintain and protect the quality and integrity of the EASEMENT # 448 EASEMENT Parcel Identifier of Parcel Burdened by Easement: 55151351 THIS INDENTURE made as of this _ day of , 2016; BY AND BETWEEN: Saint John Port Authority a Corporation duly incorporated pursuant to Letters Patent dated May 1, 1999, issued under the Canada Marine Act having its registered office at: 111 Water Street Saint John NB E21- 0131 (hereinafter, the "grantor") OF THE FIRST PART -and- The City of Saint John a body corporate by Royal Charter, confirmed and amended by Acts of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of New Brunswick, having its City Hall at: 15 Market Square Saint John, NB E2L 1 E8 (hereinafter, the "grantee") WHEREAS: OF THE SECOND PART A. the grantor has agreed to provide to the grantee an easement upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set out; and B. the grantee has approved the acquisition of the herein described easement in a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Common Council of The City of Saint John held the _ day of , 2016; NOW THEREFORE this Indenture witnesseth that in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained and the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) now paid by each party hereto to the other (the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged), the parties hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: The grantor, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, hereby grants and conveys to the grantee, its successors and assigns, the rights, licenses, liberties, privileges and easements to the easement area (as defined in Schedule "A" attached hereto) the purposes of laying down, constructing, operating, maintaining, inspecting, altering, removing, replacing, reconstructing or repairing a stormwater sewer line and grantee shall have access to the easement area at all times by its servants, employees, workers, agents and contractors along with the necessary machinery, material, vehicles and equipment as same may be required by the grantee, from time to time, from the date hereof and for so long thereafter as the grantee desires to exercise the rights and privileges hereby given.

Approve the Public Transit Infrastructure Funding agreement and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute the necessary contract documents; 2. Approve associated capital expenditure for bus purchase in 2018; EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In October, Council endorsed a proposed amendment to the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund application to include an Active Transportation project (Harbour Passage Extension). With this understanding staff has proceeded to acquire approval under this program and have requested an associated amendment to the funding agreement. The attached funding agreement now includes (12) twelve bus purchases and an active transportation project as previously reported. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION At the meeting on Oct 31, 2016 Committee of the Whole considered a report to amend the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) application to include Harbour Passage extension as a replacement for previously proposed electronic fare boxes & a smartcard system. It was concluded that staff would proceed to amend the application and move to acquire an amended funding agreement including this eligible active transportation project. 11111101 sa STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Applications to external funding programs should uphold the direction of Common Council as well as long-term community objectives, including, among others, Plan SJ and the long-term financial sustainability of the City of Saint John. REPORT Public Transit Infrastructure Funding Agreement: The City of Saint John with Saint John Transit has submitted a modified application under the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund to include the following: - Purchase of twelve buses; - Harbour Passage Extension; This modified application has been approved and a funding agreement, attached, reflects this change. The agreement is attached for council execution. Capital Expenditure for Bus Purchase in 2018: As Council will recall, the Public Transit Federal Funding application process was, and is, subject to an aggressive timeline. As such, all funds from this program must be consumed by March 31, 2018 to leverage this program.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Jeffrey Cyr Phil Ouellette /Jacqueline Hamilton Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION 1. That Common Council receive and file the Urban Development Incentives year-end report; 2. That Common Council adopt the amended Urban Development Incentives Program Policy and the amended Urban Beautification Grant Policy; and 3. That Common Council direct Finance and Administrative Services to establish an operating reserve fund to finance the Urban Development Incentives Program and that it operate according to the following provisions: a) The equivalent of the net increase in municipal tax revenue from each development project receiving funding through this program will be directed to the operating reserve fund each year to pay for the residential density grant. The net increase in municipal tax revenue will be calculated by subtracting the municipal property tax of a building following completion of the project and re -assessment of the property, by the municipal property tax of the property at the time of application submission; b) Where an approved project generates a net increase in municipal property tax revenue prior to the completion of the project, the revenue shall be directed to the operating reserve fund; ■■ ma c) Where a surplus is generated by the residential density grant, the surplus shal WIE 2. Common Council direct the City Manager to officially launch the 2016 Development Incentives Suite of Programs and begin accepting applications to the programs as of March 22, 2016; 3. Common Council direct the City Manager to implement a monitoring strategy for the programs that includes periodic reports submitted throughout 2016, as well as a year-end report submitted in December. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT As a priority related to Growth and Prosperity, Council identified driving development in accordance with PlanSJ as a key outcome. The return on investment of the Urban Development Incentives Program is an indicator of success in achieving this priority. Report Background In early 2016 Common Council adopted the Urban Development Incentives Program Policy which is strategically structured to reduce financial barriers and leverage new private sector investment within the Central Peninsula. The Urban Development Incentives Policy is designed to provide financial support to development or redevelopment projects by reducing financial barriers and limiting the risk associated with investment. It is comprised of three specific programs: • Infill Development; • Upper Floors Redevelopment; and • Vacant Building Redevelopment. Program Uptake The first year of operation of the Urban Development Incentives pilot program has yielded positive results. There are currently five projects under construction, yielding more than $3,000,000 in construction activity, an estimated $2.9 Million in new tax base, 17 residential units and approximately 10,500 square feet of new commercial space. In addition to this, there was one large 57 unit residential project that was delayed, but has significant potential to come forward as a 2017 project. The table below summarizes the grants awarded in 2016. Total Grants Commercial Development Awarded Residential Project Grant Type (Over 5 Units Created Space Years) Created 116 Prince Upper Floors $99,786 3 4,950 ft -4 - William Street Redevelopment 302 WE The performance of the five year Residential Density Grant, which was designed to be cost neutral, has also had positive results from the first three projects. In fact, the revenue that will be generated for these projects has outperformed the financial modeling undertaken during the design of the incentives program. Beautification Grant Program The Beautification Grant Program was adopted as a small complementary program to enhance the curb appeal of properties in areas outside of heritage district in the South End and Waterloo Village neighbourhoods. In the first year, 22 grants worth $50,000 were approved, representing $175,000 in private sector reinvestment in building facades and landscaping improvements in these neighbourhoods. Late uptake in the program has resulted in a small number of projects falling through due to contractor availability and cold weather; however, the program is on pace for spending the majority of the program budget and leveraging roughly $2.50 of private spending per $1.00 in grants provided by the City. Additionally, the clustering of projects in key areas such as Duke Street, Queen Street and Paddock/Peters Streets will help to magnify the impact of the program. A small handful of projects are still in the process of submitting final receipts to confirm their project costs. Lessons Learned in Year One Despite the successes of the first year of the Urban Development Incentives Program, there were a few lessons learned worth noting that impacted uptake in the program. The majority of these lessons were directly related to being in the first year of the program and the March launch date. Efforts will be made to mitigate these for 2017. These include: Developers Need Time to Respond to the Program The Urban development incentives program was launched in late March of 2016, leaving a short turn -around -time between the program launch date and the beginning of the construction season in April. This resulted in the majority of projects being those that had some degree of planning and engagement with city staff during the design of the incentives program in 2015. Additionally, smaller more agile projects which require less planning and design work were able to respond to the program more quickly. For this reason, it is anticipated that uptake in the program will continue to grow over the three year pilot program as developers progress with plans for new development in the target area. • Direct Marketing and Promotion of the Programs is Crucial For both the Urban Development Incentives Program and the Beautification Grant Program awareness of the financial support offered by the City is crucial to program success. Efforts to reach a wide range of individuals and professionals with program information continued throughout the year and included: FIF] sm Presentations to the Real Estate board and several large real estate companies; Presentations to the Homebuilders Association on the opportunity for infill townhomes; The launch of an online mapping tool to support developers with site selection; The promotion of news stories on the program; The development of program brochures and pamphlets; Promotion of the program on the main page of the City of Saint John Website; Meetings were held with developers as part of the Growth Committee developer engagement initiative; Attendance at the home show in March of 2016; and Direct mail -outs to property owners informing them of the incentive programs. Although a significant number of activities were undertaken, it took time to identify and implement the most effective marketing strategies for each program. In the case of the Beautification Grant Program, traditional marketing activities proved ineffective resulting in poor uptake in the program by late July. A more direct approach of sending mail -outs to more than 700 property owners in the target area was taken and resulted in roughly twenty applications in the span of 2 weeks. Lessons learned through the first year of the program will lead to more targeted and effective marketing early in year two. • Project Delays can Impact Funding & Uptake A challenge faced during the first year of the program was project delays, particularly in cases where a large project is committed a significant proportion of the program budget. In the first year of the program, a large grant agreement was executed for a project which would yield considerable community benefits and a -7 - Future Improvement Options As part of an October 12th recommendation by the Growth Committee, it was recommended that staff identify opportunities to improve the Urban Development Incentives Program. Based on the presentation and discussion of that meeting three potential improvements were evaluated as potential options for implementation in the future; however, at this time it is recommended that Common Council stay -the -course with the incentive program pilot program for 2017. While none of the three options are recommended for inclusion in the program for 2017, they are worth strong consideration in the future. Future enhancements could include: Geographic Expansion of the Program The expansion of the program to other areas of the City represents an option for future improvements to the program; however, expansion at this point time may risk stretching resources thin and hurting the momentum that is building in the Central Peninsula neighbourhood. At this point in time, it is still unclear whether the grant funding formula used by the program will be successful in other neighbourhoods or for projects that require the development of new infrastructure. The expansion of the program to another neighbourhood should be preceded by further analysis and engagement. Increasing the Cap for Larger Projects Another option to expand the program that was explored was to increase the project cap on the five year residential density grant. Currently, the cap on this grant is at $122,500, which means development projects reach a ceiling for this grant when construction costs exceed $2,300,000. The cap was implemented in order to limit the risk for a project to cause large deficits for the program as the grant funding model was new and untested. Although the first year has shown promising results, an increase to the cap is not recommended as more time is still required to evaluate the grant funding model. Additionally, in its current form, the incentive program does have an avenue to increase the cap for projects on a case to case basis, subject to Common Council approval. For this reason, changes to the program are not recommended as financial commitments in this magnitude should be thoroughly evaluated. District Specific Focus A final option that was explored to expand the program is to identify strategic streetscapes or corridors to provide larger grants. While this does have great potential for the revitalization of streetscapes that are important to the community and that have a strategic impact on the Central Peninsula, it is recommended as a potential improvement option for 2018. This would allow for the extensive analysis and community engagement of the Neighbourhood Planning Program to identify the optimal areas for such a targeted, district specific strategy. WE Policy Updates A small number of minor updates are recommended to improve both the Urban Development Incentives Program Policy and the Beautification Grant Program Policy. The updates include: Urban Development Incentives Program Policy Updates • Provisions were added to establish and regulate a reserve fund to support the financial operations of the program. The reserve is necessary for funding multi-year development projects that do not align with annual budget cycles and will also provide the added benefit of improved financial management and reporting. These provisions have also been included in the recommendation of this report. In the first year, any surplus revenue from the reserve fund will be directed to the general operating fund; however, the potential future use of surplus revenue from the program will be further revaluated and options presented to Common Council as part of the 2017 year-end report; and • Updates were made to the criteria for the Construction Challenges Grant, further scoping the eligible costs for reimbursement for challenges related to fire separations. This will help to ensure that that the construction challenges grant is available for more projects that need it. Beautification Grant Program Policy Updates • Provisions were added to provide increased maximum grant amounts for corner lots where buildings have two street fronting facades; and • Updates were made to the grant funding system to ensure the program better rewards high quality design. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The Urban Development Incentives Program has demonstrated in its first year that the grant funding model provides the City of Saint John value for money spent. Based on the costs of the first three grants approved and the revenue that they generate, it is anticipated that the program will provide a 3 to 1 return on investment. Grant funding for projects approved through the incentive program is disbursed following the completion of the project and confirmation of costs. In addition to direct financial outcomes, the impact of the Urban Development Incentives Program has contributed toward the following planning outcomes: • Increased residential density; • Reinvestment in heritage assets and underutilized building stock; and • Core area beautification. IRE Continued funding for the Suite of Urban Development Incentive Programs at current levels was included in the general operating budget. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Finance and Administrative Services recommend the establishment of a reserve for the Urban Development Incentives Program.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager sM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to recommend extention of service contracts for -3- PlaySJ also recommended the continued move from centres run by City staff to those managed and operated by the community, referred to as Alternate Service Delivery (ASD). The purpose for the move to ASD is to lower the cost of operating the community centres by allowing the respective service organizations to leverage other partnerships, a volunteer base, and operational efficiencies, particularly in the case of larger organizations such as YMCA or the Boys and Girls Club. In the case of neighbourhood-based organizations such as ONE Change, the ASD model allows residents in the neighbourhood to continue to own their neighbourhood. City staff once operated all primary community centres. Carleton is the only remaining City operated centre and Play -4 - ASD MODEL FOR CARLETON COMMUNITY CENTRE PlaySJ recommends the Carleton Community Centre change from being operated by City staff to Community Management (ASD Model). City staff are planning this change for January 2018. Staff have been diligently considering the merits of two distinct options of entering into an agreement with a new service provider. A third hybrid option is also presented. The first option would involve directly engaging a neighbourhood- ME There are a few benefits with this option. First, the City would ensure it enters into an agreement with a service provider with the most effective business plan, sm CURRENT UNCERTAINTIES OF OTHER PRIMARY CENTRES As briefly mentioned earlier in this report, there are several uncertainties surrounding the other primary Community Centres. These uncertainties are discussed in this section of the report and each present a significant challenge no commitments by the City have been made yet and the Fieldhouse project itself has not been confirmed.

The report also highlights some of the issues and challenges facing the community in the months and years ahead. REPORT INTRODUCTION Council priorities determine how resources are allocated and what services are provided. Keeping a stable tax rate is important to businesses and households. However, the needs and wants of a Municipality are usually greater than what the Municipality can afford.

In 2016, the City has seen increased development activities since the beginning of the year; however, the projected revenue in 2016 is still significantly less than the 2008 or 2009 levels.

J� QF. ti0 ,LO Compared to other municipalities of similar size such as Fredericton and Moncton, Saint John has lower municipal tax base per capita. While revenues have experienced minimal growth, expenditures, on the other hand, have gone up over the years. About 58 -8 - In order to control and retire its debt, the City should limit its borrowing to no more than $12 Mil/year. The following graph shows that with annual borrowing of $12 Mil/year, the City will see its debenture balance go down gradually. -9 - ahead; the City will have to borrow more than $12Mil/year. In order to ensure that the debt level does not go up, the City should reduce its funding envelope in the 3 following years by an amount equivalent to the contingent funding so the overall funding envelope over 4 years stays the same. Based on the existing debt level, debt service costs are projected to trend upward during the next few years and then level off around 2019 if capital borrowings are not more than $12 million/year on an ongoing basis. Projected Fiscal Charges (3.5% Interest rate, $12 Mil Capital Expenditure (City Share)/Year) 20,000,000 16,560,407 18,118,945 18,011,166 18,279,190 18,309,845 18,721,244 18,575,179 17,367,169 17,737,554 15,000,000 10,000,000 5,000,000 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 One of the risks associated with long term borrowing is interest rate risk. Long term borrowing rate is currently at its record low. However, it is likely that the interest rate will go up in the next few years, which will affect the amount that the City has to put aside to service its debt. AVERAGE YIELD Anno, Bills Borrowing decisions made today create future fixed debt service payments that compromise flexibility to respond to changing operational circumstances in future years. The fiscal challenges the City is experiencing today are not limited to the 2017 budget year. It is more long term in nature. In the years to come, the City is committed to finding sustainable solutions, among those are to find new revenue sources and to find efficiencies through continuous improvements using proven methodology such as Lean six sigma. Growth & Community Development Services Services under Growth and Community Development are -11- sVAE Transportation and Environment Services The Transportation & Environment Services are frontline services that are relied upon every day by the citizens of Saint John. These services collectively account for $43,405,710 of the overall General Operating Budget. Transportation and Environment Services support various Council priorities. Council Priorities: Valued Service Delivery Investment into roads, curbs and sidewalks continues to be a priority. The combined funding of investment in roads in the proposed 2017 General Operating and Capital Budgets is approximately $6.71 million ($7.29 Mil in 2016). It should be noted that costs have seen considerable increases in recent years, in particular with the cost of asphalt resurfacing. This cost escalation erodes the amount of resurfacing that can be done with the available funds, and will necessitate future budget increases if this trend continues. The primary objective with respect to investment in roads in any given year is to prevent streets from deteriorating to the point at which they will require more costly reconstruction. The secondary objective is to increase the quality of the road network as measured through the Pavement Condition Index. At the proposed funding levels there will need to be very favorable asphalt tender prices to meet these objectives. Staff will be pursuing additional funding opportunities with other levels of government, and potentially re -allocating maintenance money to maximize the EKE maintenance costs. In addition, all trips and routes will be reviewed in alignment with PIanSJ and M -14 - Collection system model of the East and Central areas of the City. These models can be used to identify problem areas in these systems and help focus investments where they are most needed. These models will also lessen the burden on developers to assess existing infrastructure capacity when proposing new projects. Council Priorities: Fiscal Responsibility To meet the ongoing challenging budget constraints, Transportation & Environment services staff are heavily involved in various Continuous Improvement initiatives which are expected to find additional efficiencies in service delivery. Next year will see the implementation of these initiatives that will include adjustments to street plowing routes and an improved deployment model for sidewalk plowing. There will be a comprehensive review of mowing routes in the Parks Division and staff will provide support to other continuous improvement initiatives around the use of Fleet assets. The Parking Commission manages both On -Street and Off -Street parking for the City of Saint John. The Saint John Parking Commission continues to be fiscally responsible by making tactical changes which will influence the manner in which parking is administered by: 0 Amending Traffic and Meter By -Laws and consolidating said changes in one unified document. D Re -visiting the Pay & Display and Coin operated machine replacement program. Recent changes in technology, such as Pay-by-Smartphone technology could revamp the world of parking. 0 Purchase of a new vehicle mounted Electronic Chalking system to improve the efficiency and accuracy of enforcement. 0 Participating in the next phase of the Transportation Plan / MoveSJ sRIE Public Safety services Public Safety services support the community in achieving its long-term vision of being a safe, livable and vibrant community where people want to live, work, shop and play. Services are delivered to help improve the safety and well-being of all citizens with a focus on creating safe neighbourhoods that provide opportunities for individuals to develop and grow. The proposed 2017 budget for Public Safety services totals $52,636,773. Council Priorities: Vibrant, Safe City The Fire and Rescue Service involves the delivery of six public services to the community that focus on reducing loss of life, personal injury, property damage or impact on the environment caused by fire, accident, medical emergency, or hazardous materials release (accident or malicious), and through code enforcement and public education activities. The Fire service is a highly important / regarded customer focused service (IPSOS Reid citizen survey) mum Corporate Services The proposed 2017 Corporate Service budget totals $6,014,922. Funding to ECMA has increased from $50K to $75K as a result of WIFR 0 Enhanced definition of municipal services levels through the annual service -based budget process. 0 On-going advocacy for equitable taxation, including working with the Cities of New Brunswick Association to promote the benefits of a strong urban growth agenda in New Brunswick. 0 Maintain positive labour relation REM The service now extends to the Cruise Ship terminals, Queens Square, and Prince William Street. Council Priorities: Vibrant, Safe City The Information Technology service supports the implementation of a new Trunk Radio system for Public Safety services. Upon completion, the new system will improve efficiency, reliability and enhance communication capabilities with other jurisdictions in New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia for Police and Fire services. Council Priorities: Valued Service Delivery As with many other municipalities across Canada, The City has an aging infrastructure. The requirement to replace or upgrade its assets has far outpaced its ability to fund these assets. In order to provide Council and staff with analytical tools to make informed decisions related to how infrastructure decision-making should be framed, how to derive the best value for Saint John taxpayers, and how to ensure that investments are made at the right time to minimize future repair or replacement costs, Finance & Administrative services, in collaboration with other service areas, have launched an integrated Asset Management Program. Phase 1 of this program, which includes the development of an Asset Management Policy, an Asset Management Strategy, a Corporate Risk Management Framework and an Asset Management Improvement plan, is expected to be completed by February 2017. Phase 2 of the program will focus on determining levels of service, level of service targets and performance metrics, developing a detailed Asset Management Plan and a financing strategy as well as reviewing Asset Management software requirements. It is expected that the Asset Management Plan will be done by the end of 2017 to meet the Gas Tax Agreement requirements. Council Priorities: Fiscally Responsibility 7i With modest tax base growth, increasing debt level and growing infrastructure deficit, a long-term sustainable financial plan is needed to ensure critical services valued by citizens are sustainable and services are aligned with Council priorities. A Long-term financial plan encompasses long term financial forecasts into the future, including analysis of the financial environment, revenue and expenditure forecasts, debt position and affordability analysis, and strategies for maintaining a healthy financial balance. Capital investment plan and debt management plan are critical components of the long-term financial plan. In 2017, Finance Department will work with other service areas to develop a multi-year budget and a long-term financial plan that aligns with Council priorities, PlanSJ and other corporate plans. Finance and Administrative services have been actively participating in several continuous improvement initiatives, such as City Hall space optimization, fleet -19 - utilization, Market Square HVAC maintenance, etc. Some of these initiatives will continue into 2017. Finance department has also acted as money belt for all Continuous Improvement projects.

09, 2016 Meeting Date December 12, 2016 Service Area Finance and Administrative Services His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council SUBJECT. 32016 Budget Analysis to Council Dec 12.docx OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Chair -2 - approximately $2.9 million or 1.91% of the total budget. Based on a General Operating Budget of approximately $151 million, a variance of 1.91% is considered reasonable. It should be understood that the following projections are based on departmental best estimates as at October 31, 2016. While there are no significant events that have come to the attention of staff to require modification of these estimates at this time, actual year-end results may differ depending on weather conditions as well as other unexpected events. Appendix 1 (attached) represents year-end projections by service areas for the General Fund. Overall revenues are trending towards a positive variance of approximately $698K, or 0.46% of budget, which includes: 1. Growth and Community Development service revenues are projected to exceed budget by $239K because of higher than expected building, plumbing and excavation permit revenues as well as extra revenue associated with the Market Square lease agreements. 2. Protective service revenues are tracking a small positive variance of $9K. Fire revenues are estimated to be $200K under budget. This negative variance is offset by a projected surplus in Police revenues of $209K. 3. Transportation and Environment services are anticipating a revenue surplus of $750K mostly due to extra revenues to the General Fund from Saint John Water for doing Utility Cuts in-house and higher than expected parking meter revenue. 4. Finance and administrative service revenues are projected to be under budget by approximately $216K mostly because of lower short term interest revenue, lower general government charges to Saint John Water due to projected surpluses in the General Fund, lower City Market rental revenues mostly due to a closure of a market tenant, as well as lower than expected MasterCard rebates. 5. Corporate service revenues are under budget by $90K primarily due to a reclassification issue as legal costs recovered from Saint John Water were budgeted as a revenue but the recovery was netted against legal expenses (no real impact to the budget). Overall expenses are projected to be in a surplus position of approximately $2.2 Mil or 1.44% of budget by the end of the year: 1. Growth and Community Development Services are projected to be $317K or 3.28% under budget due to fewer demolitions than expected, lower Market Square common area costs mostly due to a recovery from the Province for their share of the regional library space and fewer than expected heritage and development incentive grants awarded. 2. Public Safety Services are tracking a surplus of $293K or 0.56% of budget. Fire Rescue & Suppression and Emergency Management Services are projected to be $241K under budget, or 1.09% variance, mostly because of vacancies, lower fuel, oil and gas costs and FIFI-1 -3 - deferral of expenses in order to meet commitment to offset the revenue shortfall. Police services are projected to be on budget. 3. Transportation and Environment Services are anticipating a negative variance of $104K or 0.25% of budget. Salaries and Benefits are forecasted to be $382K over budget and Asphalt is also over budget by $235K mostly because there have been additional staffing and asphalt costs associated with bringing the Utility Cut program in-house. Transit Commission is anticipating a deficit of $232K due to higher maintenance costs and additional salary and benefit expenses not budgeted for in 2016 budget. However, these negative variances are partly offset by savings from Fuel, oil and gas of $484K because of lower fuel price and consumption, lower heavy equipment rental cost of $115K and lower Local 18 overtime cost of $44K. These positive variances are related to favorable weather conditions that the City has experienced in 2016. The service area is also anticipating other small positive variances with respect to property taxes, building maintenance, advertising, insurance, etc. 4. Finance & Administrative services are projecting a positive variance of $812K or 6% of budget. The majority of the variance ($580K) is related to savings from fleet parts as fewer repairs are anticipated due to good weather and strategic replacement of fleet. This large variance is irregular considering the fact that the fleet part 2016 year-end forecast of $1.4 Mil is significantly below the 5 year average of $1.8 Mil. Other positive budget variances include City Hall building costs ($100K) due to lower energy and common area costs, travel, conference and courses ($62K), carpentry ($32K) and other small variances. 5. Corporate Services are tracking a surplus of $281K or 4.98% of budget. Salaries & benefits are forecasted to be $59K under budget due to vacancies. Legal expenses related to P3 charged to Saint John Water result in a positive variance of $100K. Other positive variances totaling $122K include lower than anticipated travel, translation, training, legal costs, etc. 6. Other charges are projected to have a positive variance of $590K or 2% of budget due to a favorable variance in fiscal charges because of borrowing less than expected due to timing and lower interest and discount rates as well as a favorable variance in pension costs because the remaining balance of the deferred pension was fully expensed in 2015. The above budget projections are based on -4 - SAINT JOHN WATER Based on the October year to date results and projections reviewed with the service areas, Saint John Water is presently projected to be in a surplus position at year-end of $808,615 or 1.84% of the annual budget. Appendix 2 (attached) represents year-end projections by service areas for Saint John Water. Saint John Water revenues are trending towards a positive variance of approximately $34K or less than 0.08% of budget which includes: 1. Flat rate residential is forecasted to be approximately ($191K) under budget. Variances are a result of less billing accounts than budget due to factors such as: building closures, water shut offs and vacant and/or demolished properties. 2. Meter revenues based on information year-to-date are projected to be over budget by $143K. Industrial accounts are trending higher consumption than budget and it is anticipated this trend will continue for the last billing period for 2016. 3. Fire Protection is anticipated to be under budget by ($50K) and Storm Sewer levy is anticipated to be over budget by $75K. 4. Other revenues are anticipated to be over budget by $57K due to interest & rebate revenues. Overall expenses are projected to be in a surplus position of approximately $775K or 1.76% of budget by the end of the year: 1. Drinking water is anticipated to be in a positive variance of $415K due to several factors. The key drivers are staff vacancies, the cost to repair utility cuts on roads is forecast to be $227k less than what was in budget, fuel costs and fuel consumption are lower than anticipated in budget and due to a milder winter there has been less electricity consumed. 2. Industrial Water is currently projected to be over budget by ($110K). The dry weather this year has resulted in pumping water from East Musquash Watershed to Spruce Lake for 6 months of the year as opposed to the 4 months that were in the budget. 3. Wastewater is forecast to exceed budget by ($207K). This main cause were the unexpected expenditures at some lift stations requiring major repair work and pump replacement resulting in increased professional services, building costs and repairs and maintenance expenses. 4. Engineering is trending to be slightly over budget by ($25K). The variance is primarily the result of under budgeting wages and fleet costs. -5- 5. Fiscal and other charges are projecting to be under budget by $702K. The City secured unexpected lower interest rates and debenture costs resulting in a savings of $254K. The 2016 short term interest expense paid to the General Fund is approximately $350K less than budget due to the Utility seeing positive cash flow from its collection efforts and funding received for the Safe Clean Drinking Water project. There was also an unexpected recovery of accounts that were considered bad debt resulting in a favorable adjustment of $115K.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Chair sM $500,000 from the projected surplus of Saint John Water to the Safe Clean Drinking am step toward long term fiscal sustainability. Based on the latest 2016 General Operating Fund year end projections, the City is tracking a surplus of approximately $2.9 Mil of which $2 Mil is recommended to be transferred from the General Operating Fund to the General Operating Reserve Fund in 2016. In 2015, Council authorized the establishment of a Capital Reserve Fund which is used to fund the Safe, Clean Drinking Water project. The 2016 Water and Sewerage Utility Operating Budget includes $2,355,000 contribution to the Capital Reserve Fund. Based on the October year to date results, the Water and Sewerage Utility Operating Fund is anticipating a surplus of approximately $808K. Staff recommends that Council contribute an additional amount of $500K to the Safe, Clean Drinking Water Capital Reserve Fund in 2016. According to the Reserve Fund Regulation issued by the Province of New Brunswick NB Regulation 97-145: 0 A municipality may, by resolution, establish, manage and contribute to a general operating reserve fund for the payment of operating expenses. 0 The amount held in a general operating reserve fund shall not exceed five percent of the total expenditure that was budgeted for the municipality for the previous fiscal year. 0 A municipality may, by resolution, establish, manage and contribute to a service or utility capital reserve fund for the payment of expenses incurred in the provision of the service or utility. 0 Every resolution respecting a contribution made to or a withdrawal from a general operating reserve or a service or utility capital reserve fund in respect of a calendar year shall be made by December 31 of that calendar year and shall specify the dollar amount contributed to the general operating or the service or utility capital reserve fund.
