There's one initiative from Mayor Mel Norton, which he pushed as a councillor, for the city to come up with a report on a graffitti management plan and another in 2011 for the installation and broadcast of a webcam feed from Rockwood Park and Rainbow Park on a trial basis.
There are a couple from Councillor Donnie Snook. One deals with restricting the use of train whistles near residential areas during certain hours and the feasibility of an after hours Pals programme at community centres for young people to increase mentorship.
Councillor Bill Farren wanted to know from the City Solicitor in 2011 on whether the city could come up with a bylaw to stop people from feeding deer and another, the same year, on finding money to carry out repairs at Seaside Park. Both are said to be still incomplete.
Former Mayor Ivan Court asked for a report on busking in the city and chalking up sidewalks with art.
Then Common Councillor Carl Killen, now the M-L-A for Saint John Harbour, wanted a report on what could be done to safeguard monuments in the city from skateboarders and those people who would stand and sit on them.
