(hereinafter "RUN Buffalo ") with a waiver from demolition permit fees at 832 Sycamore Street. The Resolution identifies RUN Buffalo as a none- profit organization formed to encourage neighborhood revitalization through. the elimination of urban blight in the City of Buffalo. Examination of Corporate filings and the Mission Statement of RUN Buffalo, indicates that it is a "non- profit organization formed to encourage neighborhood revitalization and contribute to economic renewal in the City of Buffalo through the elimination of urban blight and decay ... by removing severely neglected and abandoned housing and restoring, the land to a natural state." The property in question (832 Sycamore) is one to which the City of Buffalo is perfecting title. As a general rule, Article VIII, Section I of the New York State Constitution and NYS Municipal Local Finance Law §101 prohibit the gift of public funds to private citizens or organizations for their private benefit with only an incidental public benefit. While the Constitution is suffused with prohibitions against the expenditure of public funds for private benefit, it is well established that incidental private benefit will not invalidate an action, which has as its primary object a public purpose. See Denihan .Enterprises, Inc. v. O'Dwyer, 302 NY 451, 458 (1951); Hotel Dorset v. Cultural Resources, 46 NY2d 358, 371 (1978); Yonkers Community Development Ageney v. Morris, 37 NY2d 478, 482 (1975); . Murky v. Erie C ounty, 28 NY2d 80, 87 -88 (1971). In the instant case, the primary purpose to be served by waiving demolition permit fees for the demolition of dilapidated structures on city property is a public one, because it accomplishes the cost effective and therefore more expansive demolition of vacant or blighted city-owned structures that pose an immediate threat to the health, safety and welfare of the community. As the New York State Comptroller has stated, a municipality in fixing; fees, may grant exemptions from such fees where there is some reasonable basis for treating; classes differently (See 21 Op. St. Compt. 621 (1965); 67 Op. St. Compt. 226 (1967)). We find that the private benefit is incidental to the public purpose served by allowing the organization to more cost effectively demolish city -owned structures. So long as the waiver is prospective in nature and the fee waiver is limited to situations where it achieves a predominantly public benefit, as it clearly does in the instant case, the Law Department sees no legal impediment to granting the fee waiver request contemplated by the above - referenced item. DEPARTMENT HEAD NAME: Alisa A. Lukasi.ewicz TITLE: Corp ration Counsel J SIGNATURE OF DEPARTMENT HEAD: 1 TO TIIE COMMON COUNCIL DATE: FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW SUBJECT: Info regarding RFP 1.81 :Ellicott Street PRIOR COUNCIL REFERENCES: Item No. 42, C.C.P. 10/30/07 Item No. 48, C.C.P. 10/30/07 November 20, 2007 The 'Taxicab and Livery Subcommittee requested information from the Corporation Counsel regarding several areas of concern pertaining to the Ellicott Street Bus Terminal. Please accept the following information as responsive to those areas of concern: 1. The land the Bus Terminal and the turnaround loop sit on are entirely owned by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) and the property is privately held by the authority for its statutorily authorized purposes, which are found in NY Public Authorities Law, Art. 5, Title I 1 -a. 2. The NFTA can legally accept bids and restrict fares on its private property, which it holds in a proprietary capacity (See Ricotta v. City of Buffalo, 3 Mist. 2d 625, 740 N.Y.S.2d 829 (Sup. Ct., Uric County (1954)). The loop has not been declared a public right of way and, therefore, the NFTA can legally accept bids and restrict fares on the property. The NFTA maintains exclusive control over the area and is responsible for its maintenance, care and control pursuant to N YS Public Authorities Law § 1299 -b. 3. §437 -19 of the City Code currently designates the following spaces for taxicabs to pick up fares on Ellicott Street: 5 spaces on the East Side of Ellicott Street between points 90 feet north and 190 feet north of North Division Street and 2 spaces on the West side of Ellicott Street between points 45 feet north and 120 feet north of Swan Street. Creation of these spaces in the Code presumes their location within the City right of way. DEPARTMENT I-IE.AD NAME: Alisa A.

Our request serves the purpose of providing parking for tenants of 200 Delaware along this underutilized stretch of right -of -way between Elmwood and Delaware Avenue. The proposed parking area would occupy 4,000 square feet to accommodate approximately 20 vehicles. UniQuest is willing to engage in a long term lease with the City. Following approval from the department of Public Works and the City of Buffalo Common Council, we look to enter into a "Mere License" for installation of said encroachment. In addition to the Cary Street issue, I would like to familiarize you with the project overall. I look forward to discussing this request with you and will call to arrange a meeting.

Please accept these observations about the Resolution. As written, the Resolution entitled "Promoting Small Business" recommends that "proceeds" from the sale of hydropower be used to "establish an investment pool of $5 million to be allocated as grants up to $250,000" for certain.small business entrepreneurs as defined in the Resolution. There is no hydropower available from the Power Authority to be used for this purpose;, and any change in the approved uses of the power would require new statutory authority from the New York State Legislature. The Power Authority is responsible for allocation of two blocks of Niagara Project hydropower in the Western New York Region -- a 445 rnegak alt block known as - Replacement Power and a 250 megawatt block known as Expansion Power. This power is required by Section 1005 {13} of the New York Public Authorities Law to be directly allocated to businesses within the Region under the criteria set forth in that law. Since 2005, as required by law, up to 70 megawatts of Replacement Power that is unallocated is sold into the market to support other Authority power programs, pending its allocation in Western New York.

Please accept these observations about the Resolution. As written, the Resolution entitled "Promoting Small Business" recommends that "proceeds" from the sale of hydropower be used to "establish an investment pool of $5 million to be allocated as grants up to $250,000" for certain.small business entrepreneurs as defined in the Resolution. There is no hydropower available from the Power Authority to be used for this purpose;, and any change in the approved uses of the power would require new statutory authority from the New York State Legislature. The Power Authority is responsible for allocation of two blocks of Niagara Project hydropower in the Western New York Region -- a 445 rnegak alt block known as - Replacement Power and a 250 megawatt block known as Expansion Power. This power is required by Section 1005 {13} of the New York Public Authorities Law to be directly allocated to businesses within the Region under the criteria set forth in that law. Since 2005, as required by law, up to 70 megawatts of Replacement Power that is unallocated is sold into the market to support other Authority power programs, pending its allocation in Western New York. All of the remaining power from the Niagara Project is allocated under either the terms of federal or State law to other types of users, including the rural and domestic consumers of local utilities, municipal and rural cooperative electric systems and a number of communities and entities in the vicinity of the Project under agreements made during the 3 relicensing of the Project. For example, 5 megawatts were assigned to support the efforts of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Authority to redevelop the Buffalo Inner Harbor. Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2006 (Part U) authorized the creation by the Governor of a "Temporary State Commission on the Future of New York State Power Programs for Economic Development ". The charge to the Commission was to recommend to the Governor and the Legislature on or before December 1, 2006, "whether to continue, modify, expand or replace the state's economic development power programs, including but not limited to the _power for jobs program and the energy cost savings benefit program.... On December 1, 2006, the Commission issued its report, which included an array of findings and recommendations. A key recommendation of the report was that, among other things, hydropower now sold to utilities for use by their residential customers ought to be "redeployed" for economic development purposes. Any such redeployment of hydropower, including uses such as suggested in the Resolution "Promoting Small Business ", would require State legislation. Thank you for the opportunity to offer the Power Authority's comments on the subject Resolution. Very truly yours, REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. Roger B.

Thank you. .E LVEL REFERRED € I I-- ON 1 AT ,r `DE's LCI T 4 �r or the P eople' Clarify flood plain issues i 4 FEMA.'s reclassification of city zones needs explanation and reconsideration The Federal Emergency Management Agencyrecently went on its version of a "listening tour'.' in South Buffalo. There's hope that it may have heard homeowners there. who need relief from the prospect of paying hundreds of dollars in flood insurance they don't really:need.. This issue has been brewing for years, as the agency in- sisted areas in South Buffalo run the risk of floodwaters ris- ing toward levels no one has witnessed in recent, or even long, memory.. Homeowners who have paid off their houses are fine for now. Flood insurance requirements apply only to those with mortgages or home improvement loans. But those Wishing to sell their hones might have a harder time. doing so, bemuse a potential buyer needing a mortgage would Have to incur insurance fees that can cost more than $800 a.year. Atone point, it seemed FEMA was planning to do right by residents when it redrew flood zone maps for Buffalo. Getting the agency to do that tookyeaxs of cajoling by all lev- els of elected leaders. And the redrawing did help, recogniz- ing the unlikelihood of major flooding in a lot of areas. But enthusiasm at the new 90 percent reduction in the amount of territory where insurance would be required on properties quickly gave way to an outcry, when it appeared FEMA had simply shifted the burden. The Old First Ward received a wake -up call when residents discovered the new preliminary map calls for re- classifying some parts of the neighborhood as a higher -risk flood zone. Following that hit of news, FEMA held ameeting that fell short of mollifying several homeowners, many of them seniors. As Common Council President David Franczyk said, the new preliminary reap looks like a "mitten emanating from the Buffalo River into the heart of the .Old First Ward ;' which previously was designated as a 500-year flood plain without negative insurance ramifications. The dire of the district now is classed as a loo year flood plain, along with residual areas of Kaisertown and South Buffalo; meammig anyone with a mortgage or wishing to build anew home or business would have to incur the cost of expensive,flood insurance mandated. byFEMA. Sellers also would have the.extrahurdleofconvincing a potential buyer that the house is still worth the added price of flood insur- once. . Franczyk, along with other local and federal officials - including South Council Member:Michael Kearns, Lovejoy Council Member Richard Fontana, Congressman Brian Hig- gins and Sen. Charles Schumer - has had a difficult time discerning which homes are in or out of the flood plain. The City of Buffalo has hired a consultant to study the issue. FEMA. made a feeble attempt to assuage resident con- cerns at a meeting at a. high school - in Cheektowaga. Maps that would confuse an experienced cartographer were. posted as examples of the preliminary plan. Franezyk's resolution calling for the Common Council to oppose the inclusion of the Old First Ward in the 100 -year flood plain should be considered. Meanwhile, FEMA should try hosting a meeting; in the city, be it the old First ward or the Council's chambers. Currently, there are more questions than answers - and residents, many of them on fixed in- comes with little room for added expense, deserve at least clarity, and probably relief.. u r e- Council MICHAEL J.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, MICHAEL J( oCURT0 Delaware District Councilmember `. Working for Today - Planning for Tomorrow Review of Polar Bear Deaths at the Buffalo Zoo in 2006/2007 Danny 8 %2 years old at time of death • Actual cause of death on August 21", 2006 was heart failure - dilative cardioinyopathy (necropsy report); severe fnyocardial fibrosis, valvular myxedema (ZooPath report). • Anorexia refers to loss of appetite (not eating his meat). Resumed eating his meat the very next day. At time of death weighed 889 lbs, 214 lb weight gain from March 2006 physical exam (five months earlier). • Bear WAS receiving treatment for fly bites with horse spray, plus kel7ex and rimadyl. • Immobilization is always a risk. Organ failure compromised his ability to metabolize anesthesia. Heart rate was high throughout procedure. • Prolonged recovery fi - om anesthesia, but Danny was awake and alert by rnid afternoon. Not seen using his back legs so we decided to continue to watch him. Observed him try to climb down stairs into pool. Slid to bottom. Keeper contacted vet at 6:00 pm who gave him additional reversal agents. Vet was preparing to immobilize him again when he died. • Vet recommended to keep pool empty so fly ointment applied to cars would not be washed off. Given hose to keep cool. Becky 29 years old at time of death • May 2006 — exhibited vomiting and loose stools; anesthetized to remove large gallstone on May 13 "' 2006; anesthetized again on August 13` to recheck gallbladder; continued to have episodes of vomiting and loose stool. Discussed options at animal management meeting: euthanize or remove gall bladder and treat with pancreatic enzymes. • Removed gall bladder on November 21" — pathology report came back chronic cholecystitis (i.e. acute inllatnmation ofthe gall bladder). • Observed piece of plastic bag in her stool on January 30'''; fecals otherwise normal. • Started to decline in health on February 8` 'Thought maybe she had an intestinal blockage so vet did exploratory surgery. He removed section of constricted tissue in bowel where cancer was suspected. No signs of a foreign body obstruction. Also removed a small piece of plastic from stomach; this had nothing to do with her chronic health problems. • Slow to come out of anesthesia; Pathology report indicates cause of death as Cholangiocareinonia gall bladder (ZooPath report dated Mai 21 "); also evidence of hepatic (liver) disease. • In our taped exit interview with the inspector, she admits that site has not witnessed an inappropriate amount of trash or debris on zoo grounds in any of her inspections. • A review of inspections going back almost 30 years shows that the Zoo has never been cited for excess trash or debris in exhibits or on grounds. • COCOtlllt and cardboard cited from 2001 were intentionally placed in exhibit as enrichment items. Becky was never given coconut or treats in cardboard boxes again after pieces became lodged in small gap between her teeth. Kelly 19 years old at time of death • Reported as lethargic in November 2006. Immobilized on November 30 " blood work indicated kidney failure. • Condition continued to worsen; immobilized again on December 9 "'; blood work showed severe renal failure so she was euthan.ized. • A piece of plastic toy and some stones found in stomach at necropsy. • The presence of foreign material in Zoo carnivores is not an uncommon occurrence. The items generally pass through the digestive system as they do with a pet dog or cat. Kinapak G'' /z years old at time of death • Block of rat bait and parts of a garbage bag found in exhibit during keeper's morning inspection on January 8 "', 200T No evidence that Kinapak consumed any part of either, but incident noted on keeper report to alert keepers to watch for signs of potential illness. • Noted as being off diet on May 22' was immobilized on May 27` Went into cardiac arrest on way to vet hospital. Zoopath report indicates chi °onic cardiopulmonary disease. Given age of bear, the independent pathologist suspects some form of developmental anomaly in the heart valve (valvular dysplasia). • Absolutely no evidence of foreign material contributing to bear's death. No foreign bodies whatsoever found in stomach or intestine at necropsy. Summary • `T "lie polar bears died of heart failure, cancer of the gallbladder, kidney disease (euthanized), and a heart valve problem. • The bears did not consume garbage. A small piece of a garbage bag was observed in the stool of one animal, but there was never any plastic found in any bear's intestines. • The bear exhibits are checked multiple times each day for trash or other debris. In addition, signage is posted at the bear exhibit advising visitors not to throw any objects into the exhibits. • In a search of 1000 bear keeper reports over the last three years, there were only two reports of plastic (in both cases plastic bags) found on exhibit. That's an incidence rate of 0.2 %. • The two bits of plastic found in the stomachs of Kelly and Becky were not responsible for their deaths from kidney disease and gallbladder cancer. RE R .)

(NYSDO"l') Regional Director Alan F. Taylor, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, today announced that an Environmental Impact Statement ( [S) will be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) /SI. QR on the NY Route 198 (Scajaquada Expressway) Corridor project in the City of Buffalo, Erie County. NY Route 198 is an Urban Principal Arterial ?xpressway on the National Highway System connecting Interstate 190 and NY Route 33 (Kensington Expressway), with traffic volumes between 34,000 and 54,000 vehicles per day, a design speed of 55 mph, and Parade separated interchanges. The Scajaquada Expressway is subject to congestion and higher than expected accidents rates. There are also areas of poor pavement conditions and failing drainage systems. The expressway facility is at odds with the context of the surrounding; culturally rich community resources, including; a nationally renowned art gallery, an historic Olmsted- designed park, an historic cemetery, historic buildings, higher education institutions and residential neighborhoods. The 541aquada .Expressway acts as a harrier, dividing; the park and hindering the use of these resources by the community, including pedestrians and bicyclists. A transportation facility is needed that balances the need to be in harmony with the surrounding community character with the need to provide safe and efficient transportation service for all modes of transportation through the affected area. The range of alternatives will include no action. and give consideration to design components derived from a previous study that investigated changing the expressway character of the existing facility by eliminating grade separated interchanges and providing design elements appropriate to an arterial, including; at-grade intersections with signals or roundabouts. Alternatives studied may include rehabilitation of the existing roadway, as well as full reconstruction including; new curbs, highway drainage, sidewalks, bicycle paths and shared -usc facilities, improved highway lighting; and signing, and landscape enhancements. Areas of concern emphasized in the study will include potential environmental impacts upon the adjacent -more- 4� 4 j neighborhoods, parks, cultural resources, air quality and surface waters from construction, tra[.'fic and traffic noise. Additional input from Participating and Cooperating Agencies, and from the public, will be necessary before a final decision will be made regarding the frill range of alternatives to be studied. A series of public information meetings will be held in the City of Buffalo between November 2007 and February 2010, including a public hearing. Public notice will be given of the time and place of the meetings and hearing. `l'he Draft EIS, when prepared, will be available for public and agency review and comment. A formal NEPA scoping meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 28, 2007, between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Medaille College Lecture Hall, located at 1.8 Agassiz Circle in the City of Buffalo. The meeting will be an informal open house with a brief l presentation at 6:30 p.m, Department of"Transportation representatives will be present to receive comments and answer individual questions.
