The Mayor sugges~ed that since new Boards and, Committees

RECONSIDERATION: ',' NO. OF COUNCIL

At the Council meeting qf Sept. 5th, Ald. Stockall gave

MEETINGS notice of reconsideration of the motion that Council continue

to meet once monthly_on a regular basis. In his presentation

of additional information in support of recoilsideratiqn, Ald.

Stockall advised that during the three-month summer peri?d from

July to September, when Council reverted back to a single

regular monthlym~eting, a t01;ial of twelve meetings were called.

He suggested that the business conducted at these numerous

meetings (opening of tenders, Civic Center proposal, eto.)

interested members of the public who find 'it more convenient to

- attend at this hOur.' _ It was moved ~;(, AId. Stockall and Sanford

and carried that Council's original motion now be reconsidered.

It was moved in amendment by AId. Stockall and Sanford that

Council revert back to the previous 'trial arrangement of holding

,two regularly scheduled monthly meetings. AId. Grarifield,

Brownlow, Davis, and Weldon spoke in 'ppposition to the amendment.

They felt that the second monthly meeting tended to reduce the

_ effi,cienqy of Council, and, resulted in prolonged debate without , - .

really accomplishing more work in the extra time allotted.

AId. Granfield said it appeared that even with two meetings

per month, additional meetings would be reQui~ed to open tenders

and deal with other special items. AId. Brownlow suggested

_that perhaps consideration should be given to abolishing all

Co~ittees 'and Boards (with the exception of the School and

Library Boards) and have Council meet several times monthly as.

, a Committee-of-the-Whole ,to deal with all City business. In

this way, all members of Council would know exactly 'what is

going on and some of the.repetitious debate,which occurs in

Committee and again in Council, might be eliminated. AId. Davis

. ·and Stubbs favoured this suggestion. AId. Stubbs was opposed

to the amendment, based partially on the Solicitor's advice that

a second monthly meetin'g must follow the same format as the . first meeting. The amendment was defeated_ (AId. Weldon, Granfielr

Brownlow, Stubbs, Wambolt, Davis, Barber, and Hampson voting ,

against). ,The motion resulted in a tie vote and carried, with

the Mayor, casting the deciding vote in favour.

HECONSIDERATION: At the Sep.t. 5th Council- meeting, AId. Sanford gave notice SALE OF LEAMAN DRIVE PROPERTY of_reconsideration of a motion approving the recommendation of

~.-~~-------~---~-- the F'inance...:&-_Executive--Committee-that--Oity-owned--land,

. located on Leaman Drive, be put up for public tender ,with a '

least a further six-month period,and outlined his reasons for

proposing a delay in the tender call. It was moved by AId.

Sanford and Stubbs and carried that Council's original motion

now be reconsidered (AId. Davis 'abstained from voting and from

participating in the debate). It was moved by AId. Sanford and

Stubbs that the sale of 'the property be deferred for a, six

month period and, prior to the matter again being brought before

. Council, the Planning Director be requested to report on the

best use for this land. The·motion to defer was d~feated (AId.

~amps.on, McDonah, Fredericks, Sanford, and Stubbs voting in

favour) •

Speaking on the original motion, those members of Council

,supporting it" stressed th~t the proposals received for the_

land need not be accepted if they ar~~tisfactory.

Several members, however, felt the ~nd s~uld be retained by

the City until after completion of the North End bridge in

anticipation of rising larid costs in this area. AId. Smith and

__ Wambolt suggested that the City cann.ot afford to go into land

speculation, but AId. Stubbs felt that we are already land

speculating with the new north end Industrial Park. She and

Ald. 'Fredericks favoured a comprehensive study of all City

owned. lands and their future use by the Planning Director •. . .

It was moved by AId. Stubbs and Sanford that the matter be

refer:r:ed to t'he 'Planning Director, the. Recreation Dept., and

to staff for an overall study of City-owned lands, and a report

,brought. back for Council's consideration. AId. Sanford

supported the mQtionto refer and suggested that Council would

be very' short-sighted in approving a tender call for the Leamar,l

now on Council fS continuing agenda. It was moved by Ald.

Fredericks and Sanford and carried that By-law C-120 be recon

'sidered at the next meeting of the .Town Planning Board. Ald.

REZONING: This date was set by Council for public hearing in TUMMEL DR.& GLENCOVA DRivE connection with a request to rezone certain lots in the Tam

connection with a request from the residents of Grand View

Drive that their area .be rezoned from its present R-2-A Zone to

an R-l-A Zone. Contrary to the recommendation of the Planning .. '

Director, the Planning Board recommended approval of the reque~t

and the setting of a date fo'rpublic he·aring. It was noted by

the Clerk-Adminis'trator that no objections have been received

to date. The appropriate .amendment to By-law #74 was presented

for Council's approval.

It was moved by Ald. Sanford and Stockall and c~rried that .'

It was moved by Ald. Stockall and Sanford that the amendment

to By-law #74 be read a third time, and that the Mayor and the . ,. .,

Clerk-Administrator be authorized to sign and seal the said by-

law on behalf' of the City.

In answer to a question from Ald. Stubbs,' the Planni~g

Director explained that· he was opposed to the rezoning on the

principle that it is the City's prerogative to establish re

zoning; by rezoning this area to R-l-A as requested, City staff , ,

is becoming, in effect, ~he enforcement officer for a private.

agreement between tne home owners and the developer. The motion

for third reading carried.

Referring to the Fire Chief's report, which stat~d that the

Fire Dept. filled a total' of 203 wells during ~he month'of

September, AId. Stubbs suggested that resE,onsibility for this

service should rest with the \'J'ater Utility instead of with the

Fire Dept. It was moved by Ald~ Stubbs and Weidon and carried

that this matter be referred to staff for' a repo,rt to the

: ___ ~_~A~-reque steCi,---a- report---on~tha-recent--Ma1n~St~eet traf'fic

study, containing a number of recommended solutions to the

existing problems, was presented by the Planning Director.

This report was originally requested in conjunction with con-'

siderat.ion of an application fo~ permit to build a car wash at

the corner of lliairi . and Major Streets, but befbre making his .' . , ' ','

prese~tation, the Planning Director reco~ended that these. two· , .

items be dealt with separately since action is required to

improve the Main Street traffic situation whether the car wash

is~approyeg. J:~.y._.Qqunc il or not •

The traffic study, which deals with that section of Main

Street f'rom the MicMac Rotary to Helene Ave., has identified the

problem intersections as the two entrances to the Sobey's--

Shopping Centre, Gordon Ave. and lliajor Street, and the eastern - r

K-Mart entrance by the Esso Service Centre. It was suggested

that two actions are necessary to res'olve the present traffic'

problem, namely, turning lanes must be provided and traffic on

Main Street must o'ccasionally be interrupted to permit easier

access f'rom si-de street. entrances. The channellirig 'of inter

section traffic by painting channels and directional arrows on

the pavement, was therefore recommended, tog~ther with the

installation of semi~actuated traffic lights at the intersection

of Main Street, Gordon Ave., and Major Street. The chanrielling

of traff'icas recommended would also involve the r~mo~al of 'on

street parking from the Shell Station to a point somewhere near

the Dairy Queen.

The Planning Dire-Q'torrecommended that tenders be called

for the supply and .installation of traffic l'ights and for the

lining of the street as indicated in the plan. It was noted

that the proposal presented to C~uncil has been approved by the

Provincial Traffic Engineer. The Province wi:I.J.~h~re in ~h~ ---------"-~--~~---~-

cost of lining' the stveet might be shared by the 'PrOVince as

well, since this is a main art~rial highway. It was moved by

AId. Granfield and Brownlow that Council approve the proposal

recommended in the Planning Director's report and that tenders

be called for this project. (At AId. Davis' suggestion, Council

agre-e'(r·~o make this a d],lal' tender call for the normal type of

traffic lights and for.overh~ad directional lights as well.)

AId. Fredericks asked if any thought has been given to

,providing an.alternate eastern arterial route from the City in

order to alleviate the pr,essure of heavy through traffic on #7 Highway. The Planning Director referred to the difficulty in

constructing ,an alternatE! highway in this area because of the , ,

ridge in back of Red Bridge Pond. He noted that the entire

. subject of arterial highways is' presently under study by the

Regional Planning Commission; from this study would come

recommendations for any feasible alternative. The feasibility

'of widening the existing highway wOuld also be indicated in the

Commission's report. AId. Stockall and Davis agreed with AId.

Granfield's opinion that the solutions proposed for the Main

Street traffic problem should be effected as quickly as possible

because of the seriousness of the Situation, 'but AId. Sanford

felt the project does not have this kind of priority ,in relation

to other City,needs. He referred specifica~ly ~o the Albro

Lake-Windmill Roa~ traffic problem and to the study of this

probleIil:which, he said, should have been complete~ and

before the Main Street study. The Planning Director advised

. that the traffic count,s for this intersec1lion q~ve been completed

and the ~eport will come before Council in the near future. '

'.- AId. Stubbs ,expressed concern' about the safety of people

walking along the section of Main Street under discussion, ' ~--~ -~'--

30' to permit future widening of the street-i£-required. AId.

Stubbs was also, concerned about what she called the continuing

haphazard development of ~he #7 Highway area, which she cited

as an example of zoning,without control. She suggested that

if it is allowed to continue without more adequate planning

and control, an urban renewal study of, the area will 'eventually

be needed. The Plannin!i. Director pointed out that some of the , / '

developmerit patterns ~er:ealready ,established by the County

prior to amalgamation with the City. " . Council agreed with AId. Stockall IS suggestion that the

. ,

Planning Director's study should be carried further to include

the ,section of Main Street beyond Helene Ave. involving the

Woodlawn, Caledonia Road, and Main Street intersection,and

entrances to St. Thomas Moore Church and the new Vocational

School. Extension of t~e study to include this highway section

was considered particularly timely in view of the'Vocati~nal

School opening next year and 'the holding of Summer Games 9vents

at Beazley Field.' The motion was put and carried (AId. Sanford

v?ting against).

PERMIT TO BUILD': At the Sept. 3rd meeting, Council reconsidered a 'motion CAln\1ASH •

• .. -~.

passed on August, 5th,approving,an application submitted by Tom

Pollock Services Ltd. for permit to build a combination car,

wash and ~ervice station at the corner of Main and Major Streets.

Further consideration was deferred pending receipt of the

Planning Director's report on the Main Street traffic study.

In a further report to Council on the application, 'the Planning

Director advised that it has been reviewed in the light of its

probable impact oh 'the traffic situation in the Iliain, Major

Street, Gordon Ave. intersection. It was pointed out that the

traffic lights proposed for this intersect~on are required wit~

or without the car wash. The proposal to construct and ope~ate ... the car wash will not affect the timing sequence of the traffic

lights. ,It was recommended that the permit be granted in

accordance with a revised plan for the development which would

take the flow of traffic' through the car wash from 'south to

l~. Pollock has indicated concurrence with this recommendation

and has also agreed to eliminate access_to Main Street; this

would leave access from Major Street. It was moved by AId.

H~J!!RS...Qn and Stockall .. that the app~ication for permit to build

. be granted as recommended. Speaking in opposition to the

motion, AId. Stubbs suggested that there is a need-for a more

specific criteria upon which to base the establishment of

businesses such as car washes in,the City~ It was moved by

AId. Stubbs and Weldon that the application be deferred for a

J six-mont'h period. The motion to defer resulted in a tie vote

and was defeated with the Mayor voting against.

AId. Weldon agreed, with AId. Stubbs that the wishes of the

residents involved, many of whom have petitioned against the car

wash, must be taken into consideration in this issue. He said

that although he would vote against the motion-, he believed

that-prospective businessmen should be encouraged to help

develop', the City. He inquired about the structural steel which

has been placed on the site proposed for the car wash, and was

assured by Mr. Buchannen, the Solicitor representing the d

that no construction has been started on the site nor is any

anticipated until the application has received Council's

approval. AId. Fredericks and Stubbs both felt that the

site is entirely unsatisfactory for this type of business, and

AId. Sanford suggested consideration of an alternate site -

the property on Tacoma Drive being va(jated by the Hubley Cement .,

Plant. AId. Hampson noted that traffic is the essence of

business; 'therefore a car wash must be located where a large

volume of traffic is insured •

Council agreed to hear members of the audience wishing to

speak and the Planning Director answered a number of questions

from Hr. IJIisenerand Mr. Cook. He' advised that the car wash I

will not necessarily have the effect of widening I>fajor $treet

be wise to take a look in the near future at the' Major Street

Lakecrest Drive intersection which also presents some problems

to drivers. The motion, resulting' in a tie vote, passed, with \

the Mayor voting in favour (AId. Stubbs, Sanford, Weld on ,

Frede~icks, McDonah, Marvin, and Smith voting against). The

Mayor 'stated the reasons upon which, he had based his decision

a need for the establishment of' a trailer and camping park . I

within the City limits, and letters have been received from

Director, and it was recommended by the Cle'rk-Administrator

. that there appea~s to be sufficient interest in private develop

ment for the City to consider calling for proposals for the

d~velopmentof this land; thereby eliminating the necessity

for the City to invest Capital fundI?, but at the same time, , .

providing a facility whichi~ urgently required, particularly

during the hosting of the Summer Games. It was moved by AId.

SUBDIVISION PLAN: BRIDGE COMMISSION

The Town Planning Board has considered a plan of sub-~

division submitted by the Bridge Commission for the ,property

bounded by 'Lyle' Street, Wyse Road,' Faulkner Street, and Dickson

Street., The proposed subdivision involves closing a portion,

of Lyle Street to public'useand add~f,l.g the land area ,to lands

presently owned by the Briage Commission. Th~Planning Board

,has not,approved this~an Since City land is involved and there

by AId. Fredericks and Stubbs that the matter be deferred until

the next meeting of Council, pending the receipt of additional

representing the Bridge Commission, was asked 'to comment on the

effect of deferral and advised that it will have a definite . ,

condi tioIis on Ferguson Road. It ha s been pointed' out ~ by the

Consultants that this work will ultimately be requfred in any

event to facilitate sewerage treatment in this area of the City.

The installation of a new outfall and sewer on Ferguson Road,

at a total estimated cost of $120,000., has been recommended.

The Works Committee recommended to Council adoption of the

Consultants I re'commendations as contained in ~heir report.

It-was moved by Al9-. San ford and Wambolt that the Committee,ls

recommendation be adopted by Council. AId. Wambolt suggested

for COU~CilIS consideration c~rtaintemporary measure~ wpich'

he felt ,could be effected to alleviate flooding conditions for

an interim period until final approval'has been,received from , ,

other government levels for the' proposed North End Urban Renewal

Scheme. It is assumed that the cost of the major sewer install-, .

at ion proposed by Canadian-British could then be shared under

the terms of Urban Renewal. . It was moved in amendment by AId.

Wambolt and Davis' that the expe~diture of $120,000; be approved

, at this time and that Council agree to proceed with the Ferguson

'Road sewer installation by 'October 1st, 1969, whether cost

sharing under urban renewal is to be received orn'ot •. AId • . Sanford was opposed to any delay in starting the project, and

stressed the need for new sewerage facilities to accommodate the

N<;>rth End Industrial Park, and the, increased deve~opment expected

with the opening of the Narrows Bridge • . After considerable discuSSion, both for and against the

amendment, Mr. Axel, representing Canadian-British, addressed

Council in connection with his Companyls report. He explained

that the problem associated with the Ferguson Road system,' is

created by the infiltration of storm water i~to a system which

is designed as a sanitary 'sewer. He suggested that the most' ----.-•.. -.- -';-' 1. _ .. --

econ~mical solution at this stage' would be theinstailation of , .

a new outfa],l and sewer as recommended, and he indicated that

the cost of the t~mporaty measures proposed would pr9bably

Brown1ow, Mr. Axel advised that approval in principle has been

received for the recommendation (including,the new outfall)

from the Water Authority, ·subject to formal· approval being given

. on oontract documents. Following Mr • Axel-' s comments, the " .

amendment was withdrawn and the motion carried (Ald. Smith --- ,

voting against).

In.a report to Council, accqmpanying the proposed By-law . .

C-14l, the Clerk-Administrator advised Council of a street-

numbering probl~m which has existed on a portion of Pleasant

St,reet (between Albert St. and Old Ferry R<;>ad) for many years. . .

. In an attempt to correct' the presentsitu~tipn, two by-laws

have been prepared, eithe.r of which would correct the present

duplicat~on of the use of No. 60. In both cases, five propertic::'

would be involved in the change. For discussion purposes', the

two by-laws wer'e referred to as A. and B. A number of residents

from the area-were present and indicated their preference for

the street n~b~ring proposed in By-law A.

It was moved by Ald. Granfield and Stockall and carried

that leaye be given to introduce By-law C-14l and that it now

be read a .first time'.

It was moved by Ald. Smith and Davis and carri~'d that

By-law C-14l be read a second time.

Unanimous conse~t was riot 'given by Council for third

reading of the By-law.

AId. Wambolt asked, if the aut'hority required for install

ation of the culvert under the r~ilway track at Ferguson Road

has been received from the CNR~ The Clerk-Administrator said

it has not yet been received.

AId. Weldon asked if action has been taken to clean up the'

Johnson property in Por~ Wallace. The Clerk-Administrator sa~d

that if no action has been taken, another survey will be req~este:

In replying-to-A-:ld. Weld,Q!1 ~s nex~ question, the Mayor

advised that there is no traditional· way in which the structure

of Co~ittees, (of Council) is determined. Re-organization of

the Committees is' usually required.each year following the civic ~

election; this year, however, no election has been held.

AId. Weldon asked ~f the present low water level of Lake

Major can be attributed to the unsatisfactory condition of the

dam. The Clerk-Administrator said itcanj he informed AId.

Weldon that permission has been obtained to carry.out·some

repairs to the dam, ancj. its purchase is being negotiated with

the property owner.

AId. Marvin inquired about the present status of t~e

Woolco development and was advised by the Clerk-Administrator'

that a meeting with 111r. Drewitt and Mr.Caines. has been

arranged for Friday, October 18th.

AId. Stubbs asked if the City would make a submission to

the Hellyer Task Force 'on housing. The Mayor said it is hoped

that a brief wi~~ be read~ for the November.meeting of Council

and with Council's approval, it can then be submitted in time

for the November 15th deadline.

AId. S.tubbs asked if this would not be an opportune time

to proceed with whatever project is reauired to maintain the

level of Lake Charles. The Clerk-Administrator noted that the

City Eng:!,..neer has done an on-the-spot survey and will. be

preparing- a report on the-work required.

MOTION:~LD.WAMBOLT At the September 5th Council meeting, AId. Wambolt gave. DARTMOUTH TAX ' ' ---SCHEME notice of.motion concerning a feasibility. study and report on

•

•

-.'.

the matter of -the .City commencing and operating. a 'Canadian

Strike it Rich Fund ,', It was nioved, by AId. Wambolt and Davis , ,L '

that Council approve in ,principle the matter of commencing a

sweepstake and authorize the Mayor to appoint a committee of

three to bring in a formula and documentation for the

establishment of a Dartl]louth sweepstake" at the ea:r:1iest, conven-,

ience.

Ih his presentation, supporting the motion, AId. Wambolt

stressed the need for the City to find other sources of income

to supplement the presen~ tax structure, and referred to variot" .

statistics indicating the' £inancial success of lotteries now

being operated .in Montreal and in the State of New Hampshire.

The legality of such a proposal and of Council'spflrticipation

in its inception, was debated at considerabl~ length with the , ,

City Solicitor, and it was generally felt that, Council cannot

approve in principle a revenue-producing scheme which must 'be

considered illegal. AId. Hampson agreed with the Mayor's

opinion, however, that the time and effort put into the study

proposed in the motion could be entirely wasted if Council does

not at least approve the proposal in principle.' He suggested

that an arrangement stmiiar to the Montre~l voluntary tax

certificate scheme is not illegal until such time as 'it is

proven illegal. Commenting on AId.' Fredericks' question about

the cost of operating such a scheme, AId. Barber noted that the

. _ " __ ,Montreal lottery,_ which requir~sa staff of 40 peqple, has-a

projected cost of 8% of the revenue derived.

'in the ,Criminal Code which' no~ makes lotteries' arid sweepstakel3

,illegal, although citizens continue to participate in contests

Ald. Granfield objected to the use of the word 'sweepstakes' "

"in the motion and after further discussion, it was agreed that

the wordS, 'tax scheme' wouid. ~e more satisfactory. The motion

was changed accordingly and the :reference to approval in

principle by Council was' also, deleted. TI'?-e ,revised motion read:

,!that the Mayor be authorized to appoint·a 'committee of three to

bring in a formula and documentation for the establishment of

"a Dartmouth tax scheme,at bhe earliest convenience'. The motion

an 'opportunity should be provided to hear repr'esentations on

voting against).

It was moved by Ald. 'Stockall and Fredericks that civic -

employees be allowed to run for'public office in other

muniCipalities so long as this does not interfere with their

work. AId. Weldon said he was in favour of ,the basic principle

of the motion, but would like to see some groundwork laid for

the specific guidance of employees. AId. Hampson, Fredericks,

and Smith spoke in support of the motion~but AId. Smith felt

the City should not intervene in any way unless it is indicated

after election that the position in public ,office is interfering

with the eniployee's work. Ald. Sanford questioned Council's

reason for debating this issue since the employee to whom Ald.

Stubbs has referred is under the jurisdiction of the School

Board. It was moved" by AId. Sanford and Weldon that the matter

be referred to the Finance & ExecutiveCommi~tee to bring back

a report on the right of,civic employees to offer for election

in other municipalities., AId. Granfield suggested that Council

should not be debating the issue at this time and moved that

'further discu~sion be deferred until the first of January.

The motion tq defer was seconded by Ald. Stubbs and was defeated.

The motion to refer was also defeated~

It was moved in amendment by AId. Weldon alld Stockall that

the approval (of the right to run for public office) be only

in prinCiple, and that the matter be referred to the Finance

Committee £or fllrther study and report back as to detail.

action of an individual employee running :t::or public office, is

unfortunate. In 'an attempt to terminate discussion at this

pOint, Ald. Granfield.and McDonah moyed adjournment of the

around'Section 4 .. which establishes the composition of the

, He favoured an independent commission~ divorced from political ~---I " ,,'

six members, fou~ of whom would be citizens at large, and two I

of w~om would be members of Council (one of these to be the

AId. Hampson pointed out that a commissionestabl:.is,Il~~

under the Area Industrial Commiss~9ne ~ct ,would have been the , ,

type proposed by AId. Stockall and AId. Davis. He said it h80

commission, BI;ld it was with this in mind that the composition " .

proposed in the by-'law has been determined. AId, Stubbs said

that while-'she has not supported the idea of forming,a

commission,'she would now support the br.-law and 'the make~up

f' I of. the commission proposed in it. " .

AId. Stockall. suggested that Council would retain budgetar~'

not be sufficient, and favQ~red incl1:1sioll of a re-~all clause "

TENDER: BEAZLEY FIELD TRACK

At the, Mayor's suggestion, Council agreed to add to the

I '

•

agenda an,item dealing with the contract for the Beazley

, Memorial Fie'ld track.

'As requested by Council, 'an extensive review has been made

of the tender submitted by Fraba Construction Co. Ltd. for

constr.uction of the track at Beazley Memorial Field. This

'company submitted the low bid of $82,424; the estimate projected

for construction of the track, however", was $78,000. In his

,.report to CounCil, the Clerk-Administrator rev~ewed the

company's capabilities.for carrying out. the terms and conditions

of a contract such ,as thiS, and outlined a proposal for

reducing the total price of the contract to $70,949. by

obtaining a better pr{ce for hot mi~ asphaltic pavement and by

seeding the infield rather than sodding·it, for an estimated

saving of $11,475. It was noted that Mr. Bast of FrabaCon:

structi9n Co. Ltd., has indicated that if his contract is

reduced much below the' $70,000. figure; he would no longer be

interested in accepting the contract. " . In connection with, the difference of $28, 8i8. 58 between

the total. cos~ of $107,523.58 required to build the track as,

requested by the Canada Games, and the allocation from the

Canada Games capital budget of $78,705. for the ~rackJ it was

~uggested that one of the following methods be adopted to

'meet the'price o~ reduce it further to meet the budget:

(a) Council may decide to lfegotiate with", ~he Canada Games to reduce the-track to six lanes, thereby reducing the cost by approx. one third; or

(b) Council could request the Summer Games to provide additional funds from the Capital Budget. It appears that there may' be s9me uncommitted funds available (ap~:rQx. $10,000. for tennis.courts in Dartmouth)·, .. and Council wou1.d then be required to provide the remainder from Budget (the Special Reserve Fund .

In a report which accompanied the subdivision plan, the , -

Clerk-Administrator reviewed" the action taken by Council to

date in this connection, and advised that in the opinion of the , .

City Assessor,', the value of $4.50 p~r sq. ft; for land own~d by

the City, is a reasonable price for la~d in that general-area.

AId. Weldon asked to be excused from the meeting during the

debate and vote on this particular item. A number of questions

raised 'by the members of 'Council were answered by the Mayor 'and

tqe Clerk-AdminiE!trator. AId. Fredericks and Stubbs suggested

that it might be advisable for the City to assemble this land,

and call for proposals. TJ:tey felt that details of the Bridge

Commission's proposal for,the land should have. been made avail

able, and AId. Stubbs questioned the Commission's right to

carry on negotiations for the development of land, not directly •

related to the bridge operation. I~. Misener, the Solicitor

representing the Bridge Commission, was asked to comment and

advised, that the CommiSSion is able to take such action. AId.

Stubbs also expressed concern about the provision to be ,made

for pedestrian traffic, particularly for reside~ts living on

Lyle and Faulkner Streets. It was moved by Aid. Brownlow and

Stockall that the propos,ed plan of subdivision be approved by

Council. It was moved by AId. Stuhbs and Fredericks that the

matter be referred to the Finance &. Executive Committee with a , ,

REGIONAL TRANSIT' STUDY

AIR POLLUTION

'.'

of the Halifax-Dartmouth & County Regional Plannin~Commission,

outlining details of a proposed,Regional Transit Study in which

,the City of Dartmouth has been asked to participate at a cost

of $6,250. "The other levels of'government and the City of

Halifax have been asked to participate financiaIly as we,ll in

the tot111 cost of the study, which is not to exceed $75,000~

It was moved by AId. Stockall and Brownlow that Council inc,lic§j;e

a willingness to participate in the transit stu~y as requested~

to the amount of $6250. Several members of Council thought that

the subjec.t of regional transit needs was to have be,en included

in the over-all transportatiop study now being conducted, and

it was generally felt that a co-ordination o~ the two aspects

is necessary for a complete analysis of the entire transportation

problem. AId. Stubbs, however, suggested that Dartmout~ has not

yet reached the point where a transit study is required. AId.

Brownlow expressed .the opinion that a, transit system, to be

effective, should be cQ~ordinated throughout the whole

Metropolitan area and not just on one side or" the harbour.

authority being re'l\.n,qtiished by the' City in delegating control

to the Regional Authority, and questioned the affept which this

action could have on prospective industries planning to lO,cate

in Dartmouth. The Solicitor was asked to comment arid referred

to Section 7 (2) of the Regional Authority Act, under which the'

by-law could be revoked by the participating bodies (ie. Halifax

and Dartmouth). 'Council generally felt that air ·pollution is a

Provincial matter,' but agreed with Ald. Weld on r s opinion that,

short of a general Provincial or Maritime, plan, regional:, ,control

is at least more satisfactory than an attempt to enact' legislation

as individual municipalities. Ald.,Davissuggested that ~he

function of the,Regional Authority is to investigate and report

rather than to set itself up as a contro11 ing_ 'authority with '

power to pass and enforce by-laws. It was moved by Ald. Stockall

Civic Centre proposal submitted by Atlantic Realty Ltd .• has now

been reviewed'and the Planning Director presented a report and

slightly revised plan for consideration. The revised plan is

intended to rectify certain design problems relating to the

proposed pede~triaq·tunnels which ha~e proven to be uneconomical

as originally conceived, within the budget limit of $198,000.

Under the alternate proposal presented by IIfr. Lloyd, it was

recommended that:

(1) the shelter area for the bus stop be moved further north and a pedestrian bridge be constructed from the existing City Hall Plaza to the roof of this shelter;

(2) ari overhead pedestrian link be provided from the roof of this shelter to the terminal building. This -would require eight to ten steps in order to maintain. the necessary clearance over the railway track;

(3) a set of steps be provided from the roof of the . shelter to the ground;

(4)·an at-grade pedestrian crossing be provided over thEi . tracks at ground level with protective gates.

The remainder of Mr. L~oydls.report dealt with the proposed

fee for the leasing of the land involved (based on an estimated

l~ndvalue of $4.0Q per sq. ft.) and with the rental proposed

by Atlantic Realty Ltd. fo:r the space to be rented by the City

in the development. With regard to the land rental, the estimated

value has been reviewed wi~h the City Assessor and he ~s of the'

opinion that it is not unreasonable. The rental proposed for

space to be leased by the City is also considered reasonable,

and it was noted that Atlantic Realty Ltd. would be prepared

to lease the space for $4.00 per sq. ft. unfinished, with the

work bei.ng completed by the City, or they will finish the space ,

for a rental fee of $6.00 per sq. ft.

In concl:usion;it was 'recommended that the City indicate

to Atlantic Realty Ltd. a J111ingness to proceed't·o the next

stage Q:fnegQ.tiation ,for---a~ satisfactory-lease, based on the=

plans 'reviewed in the Planning Director's report, and that' the

·matter of the completion of court space be left optional at the , i

discretion of, the City. This would' permit construction of the

terminal building as soon as possible, with final negotiations

on the court space to be concluded prior to the start of the

office building construction, scheduled for commencement in the

spring of next year. ,

Mr. Lloyd answe~ed several auestions from the ,members of

Council" particularly with regard to the adequacy of the court

facilities which are to be provided. Mr.' Douglas was asked- by

AId. Stockall to comment on the \ possibility of providing court . ! .

facilities in a separate building, and suggested that although

this might be done, it would prove costly to the City. The

Architect, IVIr. Hoy, stated a number of reasons why it would be

more desirable 'to retain the court facilities in the office'tower

as ,originally proposed. In answer to ~questioq later raised

by AId. Davis, Mr. Dot'slas said he "could not state definitely

at this time whether or not his company would be prepared to '

proceed with the development if the rental of courtroom space

were to, be deleted by the City.' He did state that his company

would prefer to have court facilities included in the' office

tower" It was moved by AId. Barber and BrC?wnlow that the'

Planning Director's report and,recommendations be adopted.

AId. Smith said that while he did not wish to impede the

'plans 'fQr a Civic Centre development, he remained opposed to

location of the court facilities in what will be a heavily

congested area of the City. AId. Davis and Brownlow asked if

the, Magistrate has, been consulted about court reqUirements, a~d

IVIr. Lloyd advised that the list of specifications prepared by

the Magistrate were included i~the call for proposals and have

been, fully met by Atlantic Realty Ltd. He also answered'a

number of questions from AId. Fredericks about the revised plan

for the pedestrian-flow of traffic- throughout-the Centre.

After' further discussion, the motion was put and carried

unanin:lOusly. ,

suggesting that consideration be given to the proper rearrange~

ment of all the house numbers in this immediate area of the

City (ie. the 'entire length of Pleasant St.).

It was moved by AId. Stockal,l and Barber that By-law C-14l

be read a third time, and that the Mayor and the Clerk-

Administrator be authorized to sign and.seal the said by-law

on behalf of 'the City.

On motion of AId. Weldon and Smith, Council agreed to hear

Mrs. Hazel Martin. and Mr. Logan, both of whom are residents

involved in this situation. Mrs. 1l1:artin repeated the request

contained in her letter for a complete renumbering of Pleasant

Street, and AId. Smith agreed that it' would be advisable to

consider this suggestion. It was moved by Al.d. Smith and

, ---.- - ~-- ._-

~ITED APPEAL ~QUEST

At the Sept. 3rd.meeting, Counc~l considered a report

prepared by the Supt. of Schools on the utiliza~ion of school"

plant and, following discussion, adopted a resolution that a

joint committee be set up to study the feasibility of creating ,

a Metropolitan Sohool Board. This matter was referred t'o' the

School Board for consideration.

In a report to Council, the Acting Secretary advised that

the School Board considers this an inopportune time to_ propose

such a committee to the City of Halifax, particularly in view of

the probiems associated with annexation now facing the Halifax

School Board. The Board has therefore deferred the matter for

a period of one year, until after the Halifax annexation of

County areas has be.en effected. It was moved by Ald. Stockall

and Fredericks and carried that the report on the Board's'

action be received and filed.

As requested by Council, the Finance & Executive Committee

has considered the.Clerk-Administrator's report recommending a

call for proposals for the 'development of City-owned land to

provide camping and trailer park facilities. ,The '-Committee has

recommended.that sta~f be authorized to prepar~ the necessary

specifications and to ?aU for pro,posals as outlined in the

City of' Halifax 'intends to reclaim a 240' section of the water-'

front adjacent to the dock, in providing a site for the new

that·permission be granted subject· to a satisfactory termination

of the existing agreeme~t. between the City and Imperial Oil

Ltd., which leases this land on a year-to,:"year 1;>asis, the

Committee recommended approval of the request. It was -moved by .

AId. Maryin and Stockall and carried that the recommendation b~

adopted by Council.

In a.letter from the Provincial Dept. of Agriculture and

. Market~ng; the District Weed Inspector has pointed out that a

Municipal· Weed Inspector has not been appointed for the City

of Dartmouth, and has suggested that Council might consider

approving authority to .have the Inspector f?r the County of

Halifax act as Weed Inspector for, Dartmouth., In his report

on this subject, the' Clerk-Administrator noted that the

possibility of employing a Weed'. Inspector on a joint basis to

serve the three metropolitan municipalities is still under

c?nsideration by the Regional Authority. It was proposed that

the City could negotiate with the County of Halifax to have the

services of the County Weed Inspector made available to us on

a fee basis, as suggested by the pistric't Weed ·Inspector. It

was moved by AId. Stubbs and Barber and carried that negotiations

be entered into with the County for this purpose.

included in the' design for the Bel 'Ayr Subdivision water system.

Blomdale Crescent is located in Bel Ayr Park,' at the highest

elevation in the City, 'and the water. tank would have been

elevated 80' above existing ground level. Vice Admiral O'Brien

has expressed concern at the location of such an obstruction

and potential hazard to aircraft within a five-mile radius.of

Shearwater aerodrome. For this reason, Canadian-British

,Engineering Consultants were asked to. make a study' of an

alternative to the elevated water tower, and to submit alternate

costs. By eliminating the water tank, estimated-to cost

$100,000., a pumping system can be provided at an estimated

"cost of $125,000. The City would therefore be required to make

an additional $25,000. Capital Expenditure, and operating costs

of a pumping system will exceed those of an elevated water tank.

In view of the serious possibility that this elevated water

tbwer would be a h?zard to aircraft using CFB .Shearwater, it

was recommended that Co~cil authorize a change in the design

to a pumping system. It was moved by AId. Stockall and Weldon

and carried that the change be authorized as recommended.

The proposed agreement was pre.sented for Council's approval and

authorization for the Mayor and 'Clerk-Administrator to sign on

behalf of the City. It' was moved by AId. Stockall and Smith

'that approval 'and authorization be granted by Council.

AId. Stockall expressed concern about the delay in, 'starting

this development and su,ggested that the City should now request

some form of firm committment, preferably a performance bond,

from the Company as an indication of their intention to proceed

with the project as planned. It was pointed out by the Mayor

and the Clerk-Administrator that the C'ity does not have the

right to demand a performance bond and can, in fact, exercise

control only by rezoning the land back to an R-l'Zone. Ald.

Hampson questioned the affect which delayed development may be

having in deterring other plans of a similar nature. 'It was I

moved in amendment by AId. Stockall and Weldon that the Clerk

Administrator write to the developer and ask him if he would

supply'to the City a performance bond in the 8ll1ount of $50,000.

The Solicitor answered several questions about sections

5 and 6 of the agreement~nd explained the intent of these

sections to further clarify the City's p~sitiQn~ AId. Fredericks

suggested that if substantial progress, has not been indicated by

December 1st, 1969, Council should seriously consi~errez6ning

the property back to an R-l Zone. The Solicitor pointed out that

zoning in'a City should be based on what is considered proper'

for specific areas. He suggested that. certain legal questions

would arise if this type of amendment were to be incorporated

in the agree!TIent. The amendment carried; the motion, as amended,

MOTION: ALD. , At the Colincil meEilting .of October'16th, AId •. Stockall gave STOCKALL TAX EXEMPTION notiqe of motio:q concEilrning-'the re-introduction of legislation

covering tax exemptions for property owners over the age of

sixty-five. . , , It was moved by AId. St?.~~~!~.~nd. S~ni'ord that legislation

prepared by the So}icitor and recommended to the Province for

approval in 1967, dealing with tax exemption for property owners

ov.er 65 years of age, be re-submitteci totl'ie Province at this'

year's sitting of the Legislature.

Alternate forms of aSSistance, intended to provide tax

relief for this segment, of 'the City's population, were proposed

by several members .of Council. AId., Davis put forward a pro

posal involving the postponement of taxes. until after' the-- ...

ultimate :disposal of ,a property (ie. to the heirs, property

sale, etc.). It was moved in' amendment by AId. Davis and

Smith that the present legislation be amended ,by incorporating

the proposal for postponement of taxes until after disposal of

the 'property. AId •. Fre~ericks referred to a similar. type of

legislation enacted in the Province of 6ntario, a. copy' of

which is to be· requested by the Clerk~Administrator.

Speaking against t'he amendment, AId. Stoc.kall said he

did not wish to see the legislation clouded in a way which

might result in a second rejection by the Province. AId.

Brownlow agreed with this opinion. Ald'.Stubbs favoured the

comprehensive type of assistance which people of this age

group could e'xpect to' receive 'und,er the. Canada Assistance Act,

.while AId. Hampsort suggested a tax freeze which could be

applied to a property until its disposal. AId. Hampson moved

that the entire matter be referred to a sub-committee, comprised

of AId. Stockall, Davis, the City Solicitor, and the Welfare

Director, for consideration. The Mayor ruled the motion out

of order.

The amendment was not generally supported, particularly

bec.ause of the ,concept that a postponement of'taxes would'

represent a lien held ,by the City against the property; but

several, members of Council favo,ured a combination_of the

proP9sed legislation and social assistance. It was mov~d by

Ald. Sanford and Stubbs that in view of the various suggestions , . " lIP'

and opinions placedb~fore Council, the matter be refe~red to

the L;gislation Committee for a total recommendation to be

,,' presented to Council in time for the legislation to be for

warded to the Legislature. The motion to, refer was defeated.

The amendment was put and defeated (AId. Stubbs, Davis" and

Smith, voting in favour). The motion carried (AId. 'Stubbs

voting against).

MarION: ALD.' At the Council meeting of October 16th, AId. Fredericks FREDERICKS iVlEH.IT AWARD gave notice of motion pertaining to a City of Dartmouth merit

, '

award., , It was mov'ed by AId. Fredericksand McDonah that in

keeping with the policy of a closer liai,son -with the public,

City ,Council establish a merit award in recognitio~ of service,

tp be known as the, City of Dartmouth award for volunteer service,

and that a certificate of merit be presented to a citizen each

year on the' day of the City's open ,house, (January 1st).

Criteria for the award,would be service to the City in a

volunteer capacity, and a committee, comprised of ,the, Mayor

and two Aldermen, would.determine the award winner from the

names of citizens submitted up to a deadline date 'near the

Christmas week •. It was moved in amendment, by AId. Davis and

Stockall ,and carried. that a committee of three be appeinted by ,'- the Mayor'to establish terms of reference for the award,

details .of which will be presented for censideration at the

MOTION: ALD. At the October 16th Council meeting,Ald. Sanford gave SAN FORD DEMOLITION PEru~ffiWtice of motion to limit demolition permits to a maximum of

90 days. It was moved by Ald. Sanfordand Stockall that ~ '. '

demolition permits in the City of Dartmouth be valid for a

time limit of 90 days from the date on which the permit wa.s

issued. Ald. Weldon felt that provision should be included

in the legislation for time extensions under certain circum;.

stances. Ald. ,Sanford pOinted out that the legislation would

apply to buildings only. The motion carried (Ald. Weldon

voting against ),~

MOTION: ALD. At the October 16th Council meeting, Ald.McDonah gave BROWNLOW . COMMITTEE STRUCTURE notice of motion on behalf of AId. Brownlow, calling for

a study of the present Committe'e structure of Counc~l.

It was moved by Ald. Brownlow and Hampson that staff be

requested to bring in,a recommendation regarding the feasibility

of conducting City Council business with a reduced number of'

standing committees. Ald. Brownlow suggested that a total

review of the,present committee structure would be in order and

could result in changes which would streamline the work of

both Council and City staff. He stressed, that, such changes

would be implemented 'gradually, with adequate time being'

provided to iron out any-difficulties which might arise with

a new system. The idea of such an over-all review,was

supported by most of the Aldermen, with the exception of Ald.

Granfield, but it was felt that at least a number of elected

represen~atives should' participate in the study and work with

Ci~ystaff ,in 'preparing a, recommendation., It-was moved in

amendment by Ald. Stockall and-Davis and carr~ed that the

"_ TEMPORARY BORROWING: It was moved by Ald. Weld on" and Stockall that temporary 'HALIFAX II'

'.

borrowing in the amount of $50,000. for the ferry, 'Halifax 11'

be approved by Council. In answer to a question from Ald.

Weldonabout the provision of alternate ferry accommodation

when one of the two boats is out of service, the Mayor advised

that investigation by the Supt. "of the ferry operation indicated

that with the present docks and with-the-regula~io~.EE:lquired

by ~he Dept. of Transport, it was impossible to arrange for

an alternate means of service. It is hoped, however, that

with fur~her study, a solution to the problem may be found

before the second ferry goes into drydock next summer. Ald.

Sanfordsuggested that consideration should be given to taking

the second ferry out of service during a period when the

requirement for transportation across the harbour is expected

to be at the lowest point for the summer. The motion carried.

first and second reading, was reintroduced for third reading

at this time, with a recommendation from the Town Planning

Board that the By-law be enacted by Council.

It was moved by AId. Weldon and Stockall that By-law C-120

bj;l read a third time, and that the Mayor and the Clerk-. 4

Administrator' be authorized to· sign and seal the said by-l'aw

on behalf of the City.'

In di.scussing the By-law, the following amendments were

proposed by Council:

(1) Page 2, Section (2): deletion of the word 'dwellings' to be replaced by the word 'buildings' •

(2) Page 4, Section 2 (v): deletion of this sub-section.

(3) Page 4, Section 3: deletion of the words, 'every 15 persons", to be replaced with the words 'each single family unit'.

new owners of properties where these facilities have not previously been provided. where heat is being supplied in rented. buildings, it is to be supplied up to or not less than 72 degrees for all months of the year, except the dates between June 30th to. September 15th.

Several members of Council wished to see the by-law made

more applicable in particular to rented premises and absentee

landl~rd situations so that. it may be applied effectively in

~ealing with slum conditions sometimes created under tnese

ci~cumstances. It was felt, however, that if the requirements

expected to ,conform to new regulations. The Solicitor explained

the difficulties experienced in attempting, to draft a by-law

strong enough to deal, with the former situation, while not

affecting adversely the average single-family home owner.

Following the period of general dis9ussion and statement of the , ,

amendments proposed, it w~s moved by Ald .. 'Sanford Cj.nd StQckall

that ,the amendments suggested be referred to the Planning Board

and the Building Inspector for consideration, with ,the amended

February Council meeting.

For the information of those members of' Council' s:t?~dying ,

the rink situation, Ald. Stubbs tabled a number of plans ,for . , .

It was moved by Ald. Sanford and Stockall and carried

that all bills be passed for payment.

contest and it was moved by AId. Davis and Stubbs that Council

now consider generally a name for the Central District 'Collector.

AId. Weldon agreed with AId. Smith's opinion that Council has

a certain obligation to the Jr. Chamber in this instance, but

generally, the other members of Council were of the opinion

that the original '~otion, passed at, the, Octob-er 1st meeti~g,

'does nqt commit Council' toac?~pt one of the four names

presented. The motion carried.

At the' Mayor's su,ggestion, the fC?l~owing street names

were put fo~ard by the Aldermen:

AId. Granfield, - Alderney Drive Fredericks - Queen Elizabeth Drive McDonah - Centennial Drive Smith - Marine Blvd. Barber -'Harbour View Drive Stockall - Atlantic Blvd. Stubbs - Chebucto Drive

After three separate votes, the name '~lderney Drive' was

chosen over 'Marine Blvd.' by a vote of eight tOflve., and the

Mayor declared the street named accordingly.

The Planning Director pointed out that the City already . , ,

has a short street named Alderney Road on which two houses'ar~

located. The Mayor suggested that this problem of ,duplication

can be resolved at a later time,

The Jr. Chamber will be ,notified of Council's decision and

thanked for partiCipating in the oontest.

LAND RENTAL: The Finance & Executive Committee has considered a request STRUCTURAL WOOD CO, . . '.

, from the. Standard S,tructural Wood 00. Ltd. in Montreal, for

permiSSion to lease 20,000 sq. ft. of land on Windmill' Road

.from the City for the purpose of displaying and, selling pre-, ,

fabricated homes. The rental proposed ,is $800. per annum or ,

.04~ per sq ... ft., and the Company is, prepared to sign a five,,:,

. year or a three-year lease with an option for an 'additional

two years.

As requested by the Finance Commit'tee, the Cle rk-,

Administrator has discussed with the Assessor the amount of

, ~ .', , " ",

City Council, Nov. 20/68. Page 13 .'

rental proposed by the Company. In a report to Council, it

was, 'suggested that in view of the f'act that the lease to be

entered into should be of a three-year duration with option

f'or'a further two-year renewal, and should contain a clause

that the lease can be terminated on a three-month'notice,

the rental fee of $SOO. per year is reasonable. It was

recommended that the le~se be as stated - for a three-year ".

period with option of a further renewal f'ora two-year period, ,

, subjec~ tq termination on three months notice by the City~

It was felt that the termination clause should be included in ' , ,

view of the f'act that there may be a purchaser in the future

f'or the total acreage. It was moved by Ald. Hampson and Barber

,that '\:ihe property'rental be appJ;'oved as ·recommended •.

, Inclusion of the three-month canceil.ation clause was

questioned and Mr •. Kline, representing the Company, said he

had not been previously made aware of it •. It was moved by Ald.

Weldon and Sanford that the matter be referred to the Clerk';'

Administrator for clarif;i.cation. 1"h'. Kline stressed the

, urgency of finalizing negotiations if' the display homes are

to be situated on the property before winter.

It was moved in amendment by Ald. Smith'and McDonah that

the three-month clause b~ eliminated from the lease. Ald~

Hampson andSmi~h spoke in support of the motion, but AId.

Weldon contended the terms of' a lease should not be negotiated

on the floor of' t,he Counci'l Chamber. The Planning Director was

asked to comment on the Company's choice of ' site, and advised

that it does not conflict with any ~ediate proposals of the

City~ He said his,departmen~ had ,pointed out that the only

negative aspect was the possibility that the land involved

might be required at some f'uture date for a larger commercial'

or industrial development. 'In answer.to a Question from

. Ald •. Stubbs, he 'advis'ed -thatotner sites ,were considered. in

discussions 'between Mr.. Kline, and t.h.e Asst.Plannillg, Director,

'"

, City Council, Nov. 20/68,. Page 14

(I but this particular site was considered desirable by the

Company because of its good ~xposure to the public. The

amendment was put and carried (Ald. Stubbs voting against).' . : !

The Solicitor suggested that Council might wish to consider !

a two-year lease with an option of renewal for two years,with

proViSion that; after two years, th~'lease can be terminated

"

by either party on th~ee-month~ notice. , This proposal proved

to be acceptable to both Council and Mr. Kline and, on motion

of Ald. Granfield and, Sanford, it was adopted.'

TENDER: MAIN ST. The follo~ing tenders have been received for the supply (~ .. TRAF,FICLIGHTS a'nd ,TIJI' installation of traffic lights at the intersection of

Main Street and Gordon Ave. :

LFE - Automatic Signal Ltd., Montreal Portland Electrics Ltd. Western ElectricsLtd.

$6553.91 -696$.00 7390.00

It wa~ recommended by the Purchasing Agent that since

LFE - Automatic ,Signal Ltd. is the low bidder and has complied

with the specifications, the tender be awarded to this Company.

It, was moved by Ald. Stubbs and Barber that the tender be

awarded to the low bidder ,as recommended. Ald. Davis said he

understood this was to have'been a dual tender call which would

'include quotations for ,overhead directional iights as well.

He suggested that the ,type of traffic lights being considered

will be ineffective at this particular location. The Planning

Director advised that the Province is not prepared to share

'in the additional cost (approx. $2400.) 'of the overhead lights.

Because of this fact and the extra cost involved, quotations

received for overhead ligh~s were not ,included in the report.

Ald. Sanford and Stubbs felt that all of this information

should h~ve been provided so that Council could make a decision

based on a complete report. It was moved in amendment by Ald.

Davis and Brownlow and 9arried that the quotation~ubmitted ----~------

reviewed the situation to date, and express.etLc.onc.ezn....about the

lack of control which the City will be able to exercise over

the type of development which may take place on Lot AA6 of the

subdi visi9n plan. She alSo questioned the degree of control

to be r,etained by the City over traffic exits onto Lyle Street

and suggested·the ne~d ,for the follo~ing guarantees, if c'ouncil

wishes to dispose of ,the, City-owned land involved:

Cl) A pathway:along the former portion of Lyle St. for pedestrians' •. '

(2)'Exit and egress along this route from the two proposed Lyle Street lots.

(3) A joint agreement' o'n proposals in the public tencie~' call for the use of Lot AA6, by the Commission and the City.

In summation, she repeated her statelllent that the holding

of the Bridge Commissi(m property involved does not 'represent

a financial burden to the Commission,an~ suggested that the"

area would be aesthetically more pleasing if ~t were properly ~ ,

., landscaped and retaiIied as a, park. ,It ,was mO~d by, Ald. Stubbs'

and Granfield that,the motion approving the plan of subdivision

b~ reconsidered by, CO~?_~.~. The motion carried by a vote of

In answer to several questions raised by mem1>er~, .. of Council

about the liaison between the City and the Bridge Commission'

throughout these negotiations and in connection with the call

for proposals to be made by the COknmis!,!ion, ~the Mayor assured

Council that the Commission is not prepared to proceed with any . . . . . 'development in which the City"~as n~t concurred. He pointed

that consultants can accurately predi~t or e£~ectively produce

ation between the local transit companies arid theplarining . " , . sta~fs o£ the municipalities in developing a gradual plan £or

metro transit service, with the City's ~inancialcontribution

'toward the study being re-allocated £or this purpose (ie. to , ' .

. hire additional st~££ required, etc.). She re£erred to the , ,

importance o£ the general Transportation Study, carried out by

the Planning Commission, in providing details£or such a study

by· local people. It wasmovEid by AId. Stubbs a~d Gran£ield that

the motion, .appr9ving' participatiqn in the Transit Study, be

reconsidered by Council. The motion resUlted ina tie vote

and carried wi~h the Mayor voting in £avour.

The Mayor reviewed thj3 .status.o£ negotiatio~s £or cost ... ·

sharing in the cost o£ a Regional Transit Study and explained , .

the position taken on behal£ o£ the City o£ Dartmouth at the

Planning Commission meeting', when it was indicated ~hat, the

'City.would probably not agree to contribute the $25,000.

originally suggested 'as Dartmouth's contribution. Application

£or £inancial assistance has since been made to the Atlantic

Development 'Board and the Province .has been asked to partic~.p'~_~~, ..

on the same £inancial terms as the Regional Transportatiori

Study, (conditional to AD~ participation)." Ald. Weldon suggested

that Council would be wise to support the position taken by the

Mayor as the City's representative on the Planning Commission,

particularly in view o£ the measures taken tosatis£y Dartmouth's

condition £or participation in the study. He also referred to

that a more definite indication of traf'fic patterns and trends

is ,reQuired before such a study would be meaningf'ul. AId.

Granfield referred to the Urban Transportation Study now in

progress and suggested that Council might wish to await the

. ,outcome of this study which will be discussed at a conference' to

be held in February. The Planning Director was asked to c.omment

and pointed out that the proposed Regional Transit Study would

deal with the operation of a transit system rather than with a

detailed study of the impact of trqnsit on an urban area. He

said the matter of dealing with public transit is a very '"

specialized type of study requiring the assistance of specialists

and urged Council to support the request for Dartmouth's

participation in the study.

Mr. Arnold Whitworth addressed Council in connection with

the subject under disc~ssion, referring to the take-over of the

Dartmouth Transit System by the present operator. The motion

was then -put" and carried (AId. Stubbs and Granfield voting

against).

At the November 12th meeting, Council def'erred until the

regular December meetin~ a Resolution (#59) authorizing the ,

City to complete the work on Churchill Drive from Kennedy Drive

to Byron Crescent,as called,for in the, subdivision agreement

between the City and,S. Jachimowicz Ltd. Council was advised

by the Mayor that Kennedy Drive is now completely paved and

that 'o~~r .490 £.eet of Cl111rghUl Drive remains to be paved.

The provision for drainage on this sect~on does not comply with

City requirements and the Mayor 'suggested that since no houses

• are located along the 400' portion, completion of the paving be

delayed until the subdivider has had an opportunity to meet the . ~

necessary drainage requirements. It was moved by Ald. Weldon

and McDonah and carried that the matter be' deferred for a

seven-month period.

,LEGISLATION' COMMITTEE At the NovembgJ2.th meeting, Council also deferred for , ; RECOMMENDATION .

with Qualifications fo~ Mayor and Aldermen, be placed on the

would be in order since the issue was not resolved by Council

at.that time; two motions were proposed but both were defeated.

This procedure for reconsideration was questioned by Ald·.--Stubbs .

. ·and she moved that the item be deferred until the end of the

, agenda for introduction as New BUsiness. The motion was

seconded by Ald. Granfield and was defeated. After referring

'to the November'12th minutes, and,based on a,ruling from the

Solicitor (in accordance with Section42A of the procedural

by-law), the Mayor stated that he had been incorrect in his

previous ruling to Ald. Brownlowand suggested that the matter

be resolved by a vote on whether or not Council favoured re

consideration at this t:i.ITl~~_~:J.~._BrQwnlQW agreed to abide by

agenda be reconsidered., The motion was seconded bi AId. Smith

but did, not obtain the necessary two-thirds majority vote and

was therefore defeated. The Solicitor advised that the matter ~ .. -'

can be brought before Council again in two months time. AId.

Brownlow asked·to have the item placed on the February agenda

and stated his intention to gi V9 noti'ce of motion prior to

that date. The Mayor' ruled AId. Brown16w's reQuest in ·order.

As previously agreed by Counc1~, AId. Sanford 'at this time

introduced a r~solution dealing with the need for a rent control

by-law. It was moved by AId. Sanford and Stubbs that the Mayor~

appoint a three-member committee to study the need and mechanics

of instituting a rental control by-l,aw and report back to the ' .. January meeting of Council with their.findings and recommend-

ations. AId. Sanford presented a number of facts and related

figure~ in support of his resolution, and referred to the

financial problems created for citizens whose rents have

recently been increased by as much as 35%. He noted that the

City of Montreal has a rental control board and the City of

Ottawa has recently applied for similar legislation.

AId. Smith and Wambolt also supported the motion, and in

answer :to questions raised by AId. 'Wambolt" the Solicitor

explained the procedure which Council would follow in attempting·

to obtain legislation for the establishment of a rental authority

in the City. Under Section 425 of the City Charter; application'

. could be made to the Gov~rnor-in-Council to have legislation

enacted in 1959 for the Town of Dartmouth, brought into effect

for the City of Dartmouth. If this were accomplished, a by-law

approved by Council and by the Minister of MuniCipal Affairs,

could be enacted to establish a rental authority. AId. Wambolt

wasady,ised that Council does not have the power-to invoke' a

rent freeze in the meantime.

Council agreed to hear representations from members'of

the public, present for the meeting, and a briei~as presented

by-Mr. Charles Cartiel on behalf of a group of City rent-payers.

In addition to what he termed, 'the spiralling rent charges'

impos~d by apartment owners, he also expressed concern about

the $5. fee levied by' some, landlords on rents not paid by

tenants on or before,the first of each month, and about the

failure of soine landlords to provide either reasonabl,e leases

or any lease at all fo~ the protection of tenants. Henoted

that government has seen fit to exercise controloveryarious

utilities and services, a,nd stressed the importance of having

similar control over rental charges as a means of protecting

tenants against exploitation by apartment owners. Mr~ Jqhn

O'Halloran, Mr. Jim 'Crowdis, Mrs. Ha'rrison, and Mr. Floyd

Elliot addressed CounC'il as well" speaking in support of the

rent control resolution. Mr. Cr~wdis suggested there might be

some merit in having one or two rent payers represented on tlie

committee proposed in the resolution and the ~ayor pOinted out

that ample opportunity will be provided to hear representations

. from both teriimts a,nd developers' •. Mrs. Harrisonsaid that while

many l~ndlords had taken advantag~ of City tax increases to

raise rents disproportionately, the building in which she resides

has been ~p for tax sale on two occasions, indicating that the

. taxes were 'not paid although a rental increase was attributed " ,

to this factor. The Mayor agreed tha~ l~s. Harrison had raised

an,interesting point. In answer to questions 'raised, by Mr.

, Elliot about substandard housing conditions which exist in the

City, the Mayor no;ted, that Council is aware of this situation

and is attempting' to resolve the problem by enacting a Minimum

Standards By-law.

Ald. Weldon suggested that rental controls enacted without "

some al~ernative incentive to encourage apartment building will

only serve,to depress the building of new units and WiJ,J.:rEl§lJlt

in failure to improve the present situation. Mr. Kevins, a

developer, expressed et similar opinion and described 'the slum

and carried that the tenders be approved by Council as recommend-

ed.

The· School Board has recommended to Council that a 23-class

room school, with capacity-to add an additional nine rooms; be_

constructed to replace Park School· and to'J)rovide facilities , .' .

for· the first step in consolidating the elementary,grades of.

Hawthorne, Findlay,and Greenvale Schools. This recommendation

is based on staff rep'orts which further recommend that Thistle

Street be closed to public use and the proposed'new school be .. constructed over a portion of the existing street, south of the

, . Dartmouth 1I1emoria+. Rink. The Board has reQuested that Council

determine.its intentions with respect to the closing of Thistle

Street and, if, this action is not considered feas:i,.ore" by.

Council, .that the matter be referred back to the Board for a

further recommendation with respect to' site. It was moved by

Ald. Stockalland'~rederick~ that the Board's recommendation

be adopted.

-Speaking on the motion, Ald •. ~tockall and, Ald. Smith, as

Chairman .of the Building & Sites Committee-, briefly described

the present condition of Park School and agroo(i that it should

be replaced with a new .. school building. Agreement has not been

reached, however"on a choice of site, and Ald. Stockall

suggested that Council might wish to conSider, as an alternative

to closing Thistle Street, locating the school on the City-owned

land between the Tourist Bureau and the Library-Museum Building.

He referred to the value-of the present Park School site-and

suggest,ed that the financial return realized from the sale of

this property could be applied toward the cost of constructing'

the new school. A~. Brownlow noted that this matter was

- brought ,before· Council· two years ago when the problems likely

to be encountered with the heating system in the present school

were pointed out. Ald. Granfield and Weldon were 6pposed to

further school construction'and Couhcil generally was opposed

to the closure of Thistle Street. Ald.'McDonah said he did not

like to see the City's commons area taken over for school

purposesa~d AId. Davis did not consider this area to be a

satisfactory location for a school at all, particularly' an

elementary school. Ald.Wambolt proposed a multi-purpose

building ?lhich would provide classroom space and floor area to

be leased as office space to offset the .cost of construction.

(At the hour of 11:00 p.m.~ on motion of AId. Stockall

and Stubbs, Council agreed to continue until completion b~ the

item under discussion.)

'AId. Freder~cks favour~d the replacement of Park School

and the closure ,of Thistle Street to provide the site recommend

ed by staff in accordance with the Central Dartmouth Urban

Renewal Scheme, bu~ AId. Sanfo~d andStubbs felt that further

study of development trends, the re-allocation of school

boundaries and catchment areas, and,other.,sllch influer:lcing

factors should receive fu~ther study, rather than moving too

quickly to replace Park School without sufficient information

. 'on the future development patterns projected for this area of

the City. It was moved in amendmen~ by Ald.·Stubbs and Sanford'

that. the matter be referred back to all levels of staff con

cerned (Planning Director, ,Supt. of Schools) for further study

. and recommendation to Council. AId. Brownlow and Wambolt spoke

against the amendment which was defeated (AId. Stubbs, Sanford,

and Weldon voting in favour). It was moved in amendment by

AId. Stockall and Smith that Thistle Street not be closed as

,rec?mmendedby staff, but that the new school be located on

the site adjacent to the Library-Museum Building.

It was moved by AId. Barber and Davis and carried that

date~, Counc:tlli[Eft as' a Committee-of-the-Whole to discuss the

Park School question.,' ,Prior to moving into Committee, Ald.

Sanford had proposed that an architect be engaged to prepare a

report and cost estimate of the improvements required to keep

, Park School in operation, and di'scussion 'centered mainly around

this proposal. Those members who favoured B further report on , "

the buildingts . condition, generally felt that it would be more

satisfactory to engage a consulting engineer so that the

structural soundness of the school may be determined, in addition,

to the plumbing and: heating requirements. In answer to a questio:'

raised by Alcf. ~arber, the Clerk-Administrator advised that the

cost estimate which has already been provided, was prepared by'

the Maintenance Supt. and an estimate of between $150,000. and

$175,000. has also been prepared by a well-k11own local, general

contractor.

Ald. Brownlow, Fredericks, Smith,andstockall favoured , .

replacement 6f Park School and considered the request for

further study as simply a means of prolonging the inevitable

action, which must be taken to provide a new school building. , '

Ald. Stockall suggested that the possibility.'of'selling'the

present school site as a location for a commercial, revenue

producing type of development, makes the replacement of the

scliool economically feasible. Ald. Smith stated that after

inspecting the building, ,he was of the opinion. that it is""

reaching the stage where it is unsafe for the children using

it.

It was moved by Ald. Stockall and' Sanford and carried that

the Committee-of-the-Whole reconyeneas ~ouncil.

ducted by the Maintenance Supt. and the Supt. of Schools. The

deficiencies in,the building were pointed out during the tour

and the, affects ,of a gene,ral settling trend,evidenced through-~

out the building, were noted. In view of these affects on the , ,

plumbing, on the heating system, and on the building's entire

struc,ture, it was recommended by Supt. Mc~arthy, in concurrence

~OINT PORT COMMISSION

• .,

\

In a report to Council, the Clerk-Administrator advised

that the Mayor and members of the Industries Committee met on

November 27th with l~yor O'Brien and members of the Halifax

Port Commission to discuss the possibility of the City of

Dartmouth participating. with t~e City of Halifax in the promotion'

of Port Deveiopment. As a result. of' '"that meeting',' the Industries . .' . . .

, Committee has recommel1ded that Dartmouth paJ:'.tic-ipate.:...wi-th~-the ... ,

i City of HSilifax 1nthe establishment o~ the Halif.ax-Dartinout~

Port Commission. Th~ City of Dartmouth would name two represent

atives to the Commission and, accordingly, would pay one-eighth , . of the budget. It ,was noted that if Council agrees to this

.recommendation, it will be necessary for the City of H~lifax tq

obtain'an amendment to existing.legislation, changing the name

of the 'Port Commission and permitting thiS representation •

. It was moved by Ald. 'Hampson and Sanford that the Committee's

recommendation be adopted by Council.

,The Mayor rev.iewed the meetings leading to the Commit'tee' s

decisi,on imd explained ,the need for more effecti ~e joint ,Promotior.

of port facilities by' both cities. Ald. Gran field , Stubbs, and

Smith did not favour participation in a joint Commission and

suggested a number of ways in which Dartmouth bould independently

'promote the 4evelopment,of a Navy Island pier, recommended in

the Murray-~on~s report. Ald. Granfield felt that co-operation

with the .City of Halifax in'port promotion and the development \

of' containerized piers, dan best be accomplished through mutual

co~operation between the Mayors of Halifax and Dartmouth •.

Ald. Stubbsexpressed the opi~ion that development of our

own port potential should b~ pursued through our Industrial

Cpmmission (present Industries Committee). Ald. Davis questioned

whether Dartmouth'sminority representation on the Port

Commission would change 'the Commission's basic thinking or

been committed~ The Mayor commented that it would be the

responsibility of our\representatives to insure that promotion

of Navy Island is given th~ priority it deserves. Ald. Sanford

pOinted out that the size of Dartmouth's representation is

limited only ,by the extent of our financial participation in the

Commission's budget. AId. Hampsonnoted that the development

of Halifax's south-end pier'was,areality and that both reports

on port development had been prepared ,before Dartmouth was

approached to join the Commission, which,he'said, is basically

a promotional organization. AId. Sanford spoke of the position

in which the po'rt of Halifax isli~ely to find itself in relation

to containerization and future world-wide shipping lanes. Both

he, .and AId., Fredericks supported the motion.

It was moved by Ald. Smith and Davis that this matter' be . r" -

deferred for a'period of six months. The motion to defer was

defeated by 'avate of g. - 6.

Ald! Weldon suggested that the past record of the Port

Commission would seem tOo indicate its ineffectiveness and felt

the token representationpr9posed for Dartmouth will not improve

this situation appreciably. AId. Hampson pointed out that

d~velopment of a south-end containerized pier 'W~s initiated

through the promotion of the Port, Commission. Ald. Granr:i.eld

asked if the City would be committed to continued support of the

Commission as it is in the case of the Regional Plimning Commissj r:

The Mayor explained that the Planning Commission was established

by the Province, although each of the participating municipalitie~ I

was consulted about its formation, ~nd suggested that 'a clause,

permitting Dartmouth to withdraw from the Port Comtnission, could'

be included when the new legislation is drafted. After further

discussion, the "motion was put and carried by a vote of 8 - 6

.,

Reports prepared by staff have been considered by the

Special Committee appointed to study rink facilities and con

struction in the City, and the Committee has recommende'd that

Council authorize the construction.,of an ice rink on a site

adjacent to Prince Andrew High School" with the maximum cost

not to exceed ;;200,000. It was further reconunended_that,Council

'reallocate the 1969 Capital Expenditures Budget Projections for

the acquisition and development of Parks and Open Space for this

purpose, and that yhe proposed building be heated so that it

may be used for summer activities as well. It was recommended

that the firm of C. A. Fowler & Bauld & Mitchell be appointed

architects for the building. It was moved 'by AId. Stockall and

Barber that the recommendations of the Special Committee be ,

adopted. It was moved by AId. Davisand Weldonthat this matter

be defe:r:-red pending consideration of the 1969 Capital Budget

in-March. -The motion to defer was defeated by a vote of 7 - 6,

"(AId. Hampson was absent from the Council Chamber when the vote

waS taken).,

Speaking in support of the opiginal motion, AId. Stoclcall

said that if the Minor Hockey program is to be continued, . additional ice surface is reQuired'in the City •. Ald. Sanford

. and Smith agreed that the present rink facilities are becoming,

more. and more inadequate, and AId. Sanford stressed the need '

.,:f:.o:r a year-round facility which young people in the 14 - 18 year

old age bracket can use for other activities during the spring

and summer months. AId. Barber and Fredericks also supported

the Committee' spro'posal, but AId. Stubbs, Granfield, McDonah,

and Weidon were opposed to it, based principally on the cost

involved and the affect of additional spending on the City's

present financial situation. AId. Sttlbbs suggested that the

BRIEF: LT'.GOV. WARRANT CASES

ways and means of raising money to support recreati'on' programs

and facilities in the City. AId. Smith felt that i~ Council "

wishes to cut back on capital expenditures, a complete moratorium

should be declared, rather than Singling out individual items _

such as the proposed rink and Park School.

At this pOint, the Mayor asked the Deputy Mayor, AId.

Sanford, to take the chai~ so that he might address Council and

express his opinion on the subject. He said that while he was

not opposed to building the rink, he did not consider it

advisable to make decisions on capital expenditures in mid-year

and out of context with the over-all capital budget. He

suggested that the citizens themselves could indicate their

interest and support by organizing a fund-raising campaign and

working toward the construction of a' new rink, and noted that

a service club in the City has expressed an interest in.taking

on such a project. Commenting on the I-iayor's statements, AId.

Stockall stressed the urgency of reaching a decision about the

,rink construction at this time in order that we may have

su££icient time to complete the building'and provide an ice

sur£ace for next winter. AId. Sanford asked if it would be

possible to have the capitai bu~get made avail~ble for Council's

consideration by the end o£ January. The Clerk-Administrator

indicated that this would not be possible. The motion carried

by a vote of g - 6 (AId. S,tubbs,Granfield, McDonah, Wambolt,

Davis, and W.eldon voting against). AId. Gran£ield gave notice

of reconsideration.

A Brief, dealing with Lt. Governor Warrant cases, was'

presented by AI~. Stubbs with the recommendation that it be .

endorsed by Council for presentation to the MacKeBn Commission,

n0w.J!.E.~~~g hearings in connection with the operation o£ mental

institutions and the c&,re of mental patients. In essence ,the

:.Council proceeded to complete the December' 3rd . agenda,

continued from the December 10th meeting~

At the November 20th Council meeting, Ald. Stockall gave , .

notice of motion concerning the possible take-over of tne ferry

oper~tion'by the Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission~ In

presenting his proposal for a feasibility study, Ald. Stockall

outlined the reasons why he con~~dered this an opportune' time

to undertake such ,an investigation, and stated.that the Dartmouth

Ferry- operation .has .. been the weak. link inthe.cross-harboUI'-"

transportation pattern. He said that'now is the, obvious time

. 'I ..

'" , '

City Council, Dec. 17/68. Page 2 ,

•

to have the ferry system integrated,with overall metropolitan

transportation development, and moved that a Committee, appointed

by Council, consisting ,of AId. Granfield, Marvin, Brownlow, and

himself, be empowered to do a feasibility study of the' cross

harbour ferry operation and ;report back to Council, no later

'than the'regular March, ,1969' council meeting. The ,motionwa~ ___ ., ...

seconded ~y AIel., Davis .. AId. Fredericks'suggested that in

addition to dealing with the -';prious aspects outlined in AId,

Stockall's brief, recommenaations rel~ting to an addi:t~onal

Counci~ member on any Board which' is to administer the ferry

'operation and to a guaranteed munber of years for the~erry

operation; would also be pertinent.

AId. ,Stubbs felt that the pr~posal put· forward in the

motion is'~timely, comiAg as it does before the 'results 'of the

metropolitan transit study are available, and expressed concern

"about the trend toward the by~passing of Standing Committees

in, favour of sub-c,ommittees appointed by Council. It was moved

by Ala. Stubbs and Granfield ,that the pz:oposal be referred to

the Finance & Executive Committee for consideration 'and report

to CoUncil.

Speaking against the amendment, AId,. Stockali explaihed

,·,-his-opposition to referral, pointing out that the members n~ed

to the committee proposed in the motion either have 'been or are

at present, members of ,the Finance & Executive Committee. AId.

Sanford favoured deferral ~f the -study alt_~gethe!,..!.or at least

a one-year period until after the metropolitan transportation

-st,udy, but Aid. Smith felt that the lorig~r a study i,S' deferred,

the more problems connec::ted with the ferry operation will

increase. He reQuested a copy of the Ferry C'ommission '8 . .',

current financial statement, and was advised by the Mayor that

this information will be provided~ AId. Brownlow suggested

that if the matter is referredt6th~ Finan?eCoinrnittee, AId • • ',', • .1

Smith, Marvin, and Brownlow voting against). Ald. Stockall

gave notice of' reconsid,eration, but was, advised by the Mayor,

based on an opinion f'rQm the Solicitor, that this procedure

would not be in order. The notice was withdrawn in f'avour of'

. a'n amendment' by AId. Davis and Brownlow that Ald. Stockall be

permitted ~o serve as a voting member' of', the Finance & Executive

Committee f'or the item in question. The amenament carried

the sale of' the Dartmouth Rink property.

MOTION: ,PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD

At the November 20th Council meeting, AId. Fredericks

•

•

gave notice of motion concerning the authority of' the Board

of' Public Utilities. It was moved by Ald. Fredericks and

'Stubbs that the Government of Nova Scqtia be asked to set up

a ,commission to study the role of the Public Utilities Board

, in a democratic society , and determine' if the role of the

Board, as' it now operates, ,is,--inthe best democratic interests

of the people of' Nova Scotia. While the existence of such a

control board was generally considered ne cessary . to our SOCiety,

the inability of municipalities to ~ppe'al decisions of the

, Board to an elected body,~3Uch as the Dept. of Municipal Af'fairs,

,was regarded as an infringement on certain democratic rights.

Ald. Brownlow suggested that the motion, to achieve ef'f'ective

action, sho,uld be more specific and in accordance with this

'"

.' ... sugg~stion, the Mayor proposed that the Government' be requested

to examine its policy with regard to the legislative powers

.which have been given to.thePublic Utilities Board, with con

sideration being given to the possibility 'of a right to appeal

the Board"s deCision to the Minister of' Municipal Affairs, or

,to appeal'boththe Minister and the Board f s deCisions to the ( ,
