4. PETITIONS AND DELEGATIONS
a) Presentation from the Chief Financial Officer- Re: 2015 Budget
The Chief Financial Officer presented the financial report for the 2015 Budget.
b) Opportunity for Public Comment and Input- Re: 2015 Budget
The Mayor asked the public to keep questions to only those surrounding the budget.
The Mayor read out the procedures for Public Hearing and then called a first time for
any speakers to come forward
The Mayor called a second time for any speakers to come forward to speak
Mr. A. Ferreira, 920 Prince Rupert Blvd, is self employed as a contractor. He believes
that houses are difficult to sell as property taxes are too high, as well, those in retirement
can't afford the high taxes and want to move where taxes are cheaper, but have
difficulty selling. The gentleman was against any increase to residential taxes.
Ms. Gina Garon, 1157 Ambrose Avenue, spoke with regards to the increase in energy
costs, she asked if there are any measures or initiatives in place to reduce future energy
costs in the City. In addition she requested clarification with regards to 'staffing
succession' and 'staffing needs'.
The CFO clarified various staffing positions being in transition including staffing needs
for new the GIS system, purchased through government grants and being implemented
to streamline a number of the inquiries within the City's operations.
Energy reduction cost initiatives includes replacing street lamps with LED bulbs and
upgrading the old boiler system to a more energy efficient one at the Recreation Centre.
The Mayor called for additional speakers.
Ms. Barbara. Kuhl of 1085 Ambrose A venue, requested clarification in regard to the
2% mill rate increase.
The CFO clarified that this was 2% percent of the existing 7% mill rate.
Gina Garon - 1157 Ambrose A venue, asked if it was possible to take money from the
Legacy fund for the GIS costs.
The Mayor clarified that Legacy Inc. was created to fund the future of the City ofPrince
Rupert including its future infrastructure needs, especially all of the growth needs
associated with an economic influx of activity. The funds for the new GIS system will
be considered in this regard. The CFO clarified that the GIS system is not specific to
any industrial growth.
4
The Mayor clarified that the current operating budget has been established in the event
that no major projects such as LNG reach a final investment decision.
The Mayor called for other speakers.
Ms. Khul - 1085 Ambrose Avenue came forward again to ask if the interest of the
money currently in Legacy Inc. could be used for investment purposed.
The CFO spoke to the fact that the monies are currently invested in a six month GIC.
The speaker asked for more information regarding Legacy Inc. be provisioned to the
public and how this money could be utilized for the benefit of decreasing taxes.
The Mayor spoke to the facts that we need to put money away for various projects,
Water damn, road improvement and repair. Grants are and will be applied for.
Specifically for this budget we need more resources and staffing to manage the
potential LNG developments. The focus is to build a bank account within Legacy so
that the City has a fund to help with improvements that are going to be required in the
future and is currently being used for business arrangements and infrastructure related
projects. The Mayor spoke to the infrastructure deficiencies and the report from
Stantec. The Mayor suggested that if LNG is brought in then taxes would be looked at
being brought down.
The Mayor called for other questions.
A short term resident (grey haired gentleman) came forward to address Council but did
not present his name for the record, asked if Council has considered alternatives to
replacing the bridges such as other access roadways which might prove less costly,
rather than raising taxes.
Councillor Cunningham confirmed that alternative more cost effective ways prior to
doing major work is always sought out by our Engineering Department.
The Mayor spoke to the fact that the City is severely capped by the provincially
legislated tax cap leaving the City with zero ability to regulate taxes on every single
large industry currently operating within the City, such as the pellet plant. This is the
number one reason why commercial and residential taxes are being effected. The City
is working diligently toward making changes to this moving forward, such as a 7-year
sunset clause on provincial tax caps to be removed after the 7 years to allow for full
taxation by the City. 'J!lis would allow for residential taxes to decrease.
The Mayor stated that the Council is looking at all possible solutions regarding how we
bring in extra revenues into the City and how we lower the taxation burden on residents.
Gina Garon- 1157 Ambrose Avenue asked in regard to a new RCMP building if the
current budget contained any fees for architect plans or if the old plans were to be used.
5
The CFO stated that the current budget does not contain any architect or designer fees
for the proposed new RCMP building.
The Mayor called for further questions from the audience.
Gina Garon - 1157 Ambrose Avenue came forward again to advocate on keeping
recyclables out of the landfill and recommended that Council work towards landfill
programs suggesting that the City is far behind in recycling programs. The regional
district recycling program laid out last year is not working.
The Mayor addressed possible changes to the Regional Districts' recycling program
which would possibly include closing the self-serve operation during the day and make
it only an after-hours operations with additional staff employed on Sundays to assist
with the volume that occurs on weekend days. The Mayor agreed with keeping things
out of the landfill. Industrial waste will require an additional cell to be created within
the landfill given the potential size of industrial waste that may be added to the current
service level.
Councillor Thorkelson suggested that if we want our taxes to go down we will not be
able to do it by cutting city services any further. The increase in taxes proposed for the
2015 budget really only covers the cost ofliving increase.
We have a chance now to do two things, to politically gate the provincial and federal
governments to change the City's port cap. (Kitimat doesn't have a port cap and can
charge Alcan a decent industrial rate.) At this time, Exxon is the only LNG proponent
currently within the City's jurisdiction that we are able to not have a port cap on
enabling the City to be in a position to charge a reasonable industrial tax rate. All other
LNG proponents within the area would have a provincial and federal tax cap.
Councillor Thorkelson recommended that residents contact and write letters to their
provincial and federal government Finance Ministers and make a request to remove
these tax caps; secondly, to enter into a revenue sharing agreement with the provincial
government such as the Columbia Treaty, the Peace River Treaty, etc., which are
revenue sharing agreements to ensure monies go directly to communities.
She encouraged at least 20 more people from Prince Rupert to write the provincial and
federal finance leaders about these 2 issues, suggesting it would add 20 more letters in
support of City Council's initiatives.
Councillor Thorkelson stated that if LNG does not go through the City will still be
required to replace all of the aging infrastructure. Changing the provincial and federal
tax cap on industries and entering into provincial revenue sharing agreements are the
only 2 current viable means of accessing more money so we don't have to increase
residential and commercial taxes.
6
Regular 7:00pm Council Meeting- March 9, 2015
In addition to the liquid waste management treatment facility that is being legislated;
the RCMP building requirements are also being legislated by the government; these
new requirements contain numerous restrictions that create the need for a larger land
footprint than the existing location.
The Mayor thanked Councillor Thorkelson, and reiterated that tomorrow is the 105th
birthday of the City of Prince Rupert.
The Mayor discussed that the Resource Benefits Alliance, which is a revenue sharing
agreement between all of the communities within the North West BC region, is
currently being developed to target the $18-32 billion dollars of new revenue that is
potentially coming to the North West BC region through mining, LNG, etc.
Barbara Khul - 1085 Ambrose came forward again in regard to increasing the stipend
for each Councillor and the Mayor. At the December 2014 Regular Council meeting
this issue was set over until the budget process, however the resident does not see
anything in the budget about this.
Councillor Cunningham informed the public that this was looked at however there is
no money in the budget for increasing the Councillors stipend. Councillor Cunningham
would like to see a full time mayor with a salary at the same level it was previously for
past full-time Mayors, being a salary of $60k which is only a $17k increase. This has
been discussed but it is not a budgeted item as yet.
Councillor Cunningham also stated that Marr terminals is capped at 11.5% tax rate, the
Port is capped at 22.5% tax rate, local light industry pays more than the Port. "We have
to sustain this town from within by getting the province to change the tax cap to provide
increased revenue sharing with this community. The local Port supplies good paying
jobs, but the Port tax cap is a provincial issue. The new Port initiatives are receiving
tax breaks in order to generate business, however there needs to be a sunset clause in
the tax cap agreement within a timeframe that brings their taxation level to one that
offers proper support to the community."
The Mayor called for further questions.
The Mayor called for further questions a second time.
A resident came forward to address Council indicating that he is not opposed to raising
taxes every year to meet the needs of all the people within the City.
The Mayor called for further questions.
The Mayor called a final time for questions from the attendees.
Adjourned the public question period.
7
Regular 7:00pm Council Meeting- March 9, 2015
The Mayor expressed that he hoped more clarity was brought forward of the City's
current budgetary situation within this community forum. The Mayor is optimistic
about the team, with the current Council coming together, the great staff, increased
morale that is taking place, the launching of a new marina that will generate the more
revenue through vessel traffic. The focus is on waterfront, downtown revitalization,
removal of tax caps, airport improvements, etc. "We are absolutely being proactive in
every aspect of the community, recreation etc. and Council has a deep understanding
of all ofthe community's needs, having an inventory of infrastructure needs as well as
a report from KPMG that is being utilized to better predict the costs surrounding this.
This is a team effort and we want to be a community team."
c) Live questions to be asked of the public
The Mayor took the public through the website digital voting system. Paper copies of
the pole was made available. Four questions were asked of the public through 3
opportunities; voting live, by telephone or over the City's website.
The results were as follows:
1. Do you consider a 1.9% increase to the mill rate reasonable?

No-9 votes
2. Do you agree that the City needs an asset management plan?
Yes- 30 votes

CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT
REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE:
May 25, 2015
FROM:
Richard Pucci, Engineering Coordinator
SUBJECT:
FRASER STREET REHABILITATION- AWARD
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Mayor and Council approve the recommendations of the Engineering
Coordinator and McElhanney Consulting Services LTD. and award the Fraser Street
Rehabilitation Phase 1 contract to Adventure Paving.
REASON FOR REPORT:
Fraser Street is at the top of the City's list under the 10 year Capital Plan. The 2005 10 Year
Capital Plan outlines a strategic priority sequence for capital projects of which we are
unfortunately behind schedule. Fraser Street's road surface, road base, sidewalks, curbs and
gutters are designated in poor condition. The utilities have been fully depreciated for many
years and are well past any reasonable life expectancy. The sewer on Fraser Street is rated as
the poorest condition of any in town. It is imperative that this Project moves forward this year.
ANALYSIS:
The Engineering Department conducted an "Open Tender" process for the Fraser Street
Rehabilitation Project Phase 1 and received 2 compliant bids. These bids (inclusive oftaxes)
are as follows:
1. Adventure Paving at $1,185,228.56; and
2. Bear Creek at $1,228,183.16.
COSTS AND BUDGET IMPACT:
The approved budget allocated for the Fraser Street Rehabilitation Project Phase 1
$1,105,000.00. The lowest and preferred tender bid provided by Adventure Paving
$1,185,228.56. This leaves a shortfall of approximately $80,000.00.
IS
IS
The Engineering Department, in consultation with the Finance Department, is proposing to
pay for the $80,000.00 shortfall by way of the Gas Tax Fund. As this Project is entirely funded
through the Gas Tax Fund, the overage would not affect our 2015 Annual Budget; only the
Gas Tax Reserve.
Additionally, the Engineering Department will work with the preferred proponent to look at
cost savings opportunities associated with the work and performance.

SUBJECT:
AUTHORIZATION TO BORROW $338,904.00 FOR RESCUE TRUCK
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council, under Section 175 of the Community Charter, and in accordance with the
2015 Five Year Financial Plan Bylaw No. 3368, 2015, adopted on 16th April, 2015, gives
authorization to borrow from the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) $338,904 (three
hundred thirty-eight thousand, nine hundred and four dollars) for the purchase of the new
Rosenbauer Commercial Rescue Apparatus; repayment of which to be made over five (5)
years with no provisions for renewal.
REASON FOR THIS REPORT:
In 2014, Council approved the ordering of a Rescue truck to be financed through the Municipal
Finance Authority (MFA). Given that delivery could not occur until 2015, the acquisition and
financing was included in the 2015 budget. The truck has been built and is now delivered. In
order to fmance the purchase through borrowing, the MFA requires this resolution which makes
up one of the loan application documents.
CONCLUSION:
This resolution gives authority to borrow from the MFA for the purchase of the Rosen bauer
Commercial Rescue Apparatus (Truck).

Good afternoon Candice. I am not sure if you remember me; I am the lady who organized a National Children's Day
event a couple of years ago and signing of Proclamation. The reason I am sending you an email today is on an unrelated
matter. I am hoping that you could direct me to someone who can help me with this request, or if you might be the
person who could assist me directly. I require a letter of support for the Friendship House Association of Prince Rupert,
as I am applying to the Heart & Stroke Foundation for an onsite AED (PAD) Defibrillator. This is a program being offered
from the Heart & Stroke Foundation to offer AED's to community and public access organizations. The proper name of
the program is: BC Public Access to Defibrillation (PAD) Program. I am attaching a copy of my application as, it explains
more about the program and the type of service we provide. One of the requirements to support the application is that I
submit a letter of support from our municipality, i.e. the Chief Administrative Officer. I am now the Executive Director of
the Friendship House, and would appreciate if the Mayor's office can offer us a letter of support or if you could re-direct
me to the appropriate source. Thank you. In Friendship,
