    ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2019 Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick Fredericton NB, 4 – 6 October 2019 2 THANK YOU TO OUR 2019 SPONSORS! Platinum Gold Silver Bronze 3 NOTES 4 2019 CONFERENCE AGENDA Friday October 4, 2019 9:00 am – Conference Registration 4:00 pm Mezzanine 10:00 am – AMANB Workshop: Building an Effective Council and Senior Staff Working 11:30 am Relationship Junior Ballroom Note: Separate Registration One of the keys to success for any municipality is a positive working relationship between the elected officials and the permanent staff, particularly the senior managers. When the relationship works, Council trusts staff to manage the municipality’s affairs and implement the Council vision; staff trusts Council to “have their back” when the going gets tough. When the staff/Council relationship doesn’t work, the lack of trust can limit the effectiveness of the municipality and can damage the way the municipality is viewed by the community. So, what makes for a positive working relationship or a not-so-positive working relationship between Council and staff? Murray Jamer has seen both the good and the bad during his career as a municipal administrator and is prepared to share his blunt views and provide advice on what to do and what not to do. Speaker: • Murray Jamer, P. Eng. Senior Engineer, Municipal & Management Specialist, R.V.

The primary purpose of the review was to determine if the Region should provide a different service model for policing, and if so, under which structure should the service be provided. The Chaleur Regional Service Commission’s mandate regarding regional policing collaboration is to act as a forum through which the effectiveness and efficiency of policing services are reviewed and evaluated on a regional basis. Also, the Regional Commission is tasked with identifying ways in which police services within the region to better economize and increase effectiveness. This report outlines a brief history of previous studies concerning policing in the Region, the process in undertaking the study, the present Policing arrangements in the Region, (their structure, capabilities, strength, equipment, jurisdiction, etc.), advantages and disadvantages of present arrangements, feedback from those interviewed, comments on previous studies, cost analysis of proposals, comments on Governance, discussion on Policing Standards, legal requirements, (New Brunswick Police Act, Municipalities Act), and recommendations on policing arrangements going forward.
