We present here our conclusions, as well as other such findings as we believe are appropriate. It was the objective of this Audit to review the procedures followed during the gun buy back program on September 27, 2008, which consisted of the purchase of firearms using a "no questions asked/ no identification required" format, administered by the Department of Police. In order to meet our objective we followed the following procedures: 1) We reviewed the procedures followed by the police of ficer in categorizing the type of weapon in one of four categories: non- working ($10), rifles ($50), handguns ($75) and assault weapons ($100), placing an inventory tag on the weapon and irninobilizing the weapon. 2) We reviewed the procedures followed by the report technician in writing the information from the inventory tag on a summary sheet and entering the amount from the summary street to activate the Debit Card used as payment. 3) We reviewed the inventory of Debit Cards issued to the report technicians to be sure that cards issued to the public plus voided cards plus any unused cards equaled the amount of cards issued to the report technician. 4) We reviewed the weapons to make sure an inventory card and an immobilization tag was on each weapon with the same control number. 5) We performed a random sample of the confiscated weapons to make sure they were categorized correctly. 6) We compared the written reports of cards issued and their amounts to the report prepared by the bank for cards issued. Our findings and recommendations arc explained in greater detail in the attached Audit Report. The Audit team came away with five specific comments. Given that this was a program of limited time and scope, an exit conference was not scheduled. This was the second year of the program, and lessons learned from the first time were used in the execution this time. At this time, we would congratulate the Mayor's Office and Police Commissioner Gipson for duplicating last year's successful program. Despite a shorter prornotional period and the threat of inclement weather, more firearms were removed from the streets than was originally anticipated. We would also like to thank Richard Calipari, the City's Investment & Debt Management Officer for all the work he put into coordinating the use of debit cards and technical training for the program. , r . r , vj . In total, 723 guns were received, and $33,575 in Debit Carols were issued. The City received 235 non - working guns at a dollar value of $2,350; 220 rifles at a dollar value of $11,000; 263 handguns at a dollar value of $10,725; and 5 assault weapons at a dollar value of $100.00.

SANFILIPPO COMPTROLLER FOR THE DATE SEPTEMBER 27, 2008 DARRYL MCPHERS ON CITY AUDITOR OCTOBER 2008 I. Audit Objectives It is the objective of this Audit to review the procedures followed during the gun buy back program on September 27, 2008, the purchase of weapons using a "no questions asked/no identification required" format, administered by the Department of Police. People bringing in a weapon to one of seven sites located throughout the City would receive a debit card in an amount determined by the type of weapon. A police officer would identify and immobilize the weapon, a report technician would program the debit card and record the transaction and an on -site auditor would review the data in the end. H. Scope and Methodology In order to meet our objective we followed the following procedures: 1) We reviewed the procedures followed by the police officers in categorizing the type of weapon in one of the four categories: non- workinglantique ($10.00), rifles /shotguns ($50.00), handguns ($75.00) and assault weapons ($100.00), placing an inventory tag on the weapon and immobilizing the weapon. 2) We reviewed the procedures followed by the report technicians in writing the information from the inventory tag on a summary sheet and entering the amount from the summary sheet to activate the debit card used as payment. 3) We reviewed the inventory of debit cards issued to the report technicians to be sure that cards issued to the public plus voided cards and any unused cards equaled the amount of cards issued to the report technicians. 4) We reviewed the weapons to make sure an inventory card and an immobilization tag was on each weapon with the same control number. 5) We preformed a complete count of the confiscated weapons to make sure they were categorized correctly. b} We compared the written reports of cards issued and their amounts to the report prepared by the bank for cards issued. III.Findings 1) A total of two thousand blank debit cards were issued to the City by JP Morgan Chase Bank. Two hundred blank debit cards were issued to each of the seven teams of report technicians for activation and distribution during the program. An additional two hundred cards were issued to the Police Department's senior budget examiner for distribution during the program if shortages occurred. The final cards were stored in the safe in the Division of Audit if more cards were needed. Results: All debit cards issued to the report technicians and the senior budget examiner were accounted for at the end of the program. There were 337 cards issued to the sellers and 1,663 cards returned, which included two voided cards. 2) After all weapons were secured in the Police Department's Artillery Range, an auditor and the senior budget examiner did a visual scan to make sure all weapons had an inventory tag describing the weapon and a corresponding plastic tag that showed the officer at each site had inspected and disabled the weapon. Results: A few immobilization. tags were discovered separated that had to be re- attached to their respective weapons. All weapons were accounted for by district. The range officers re- inspected all the weapons and found one rifle to contain a round jammed in it. It was segregated. 3) The auditor and the senior budget bxaminer checked approximately 100 weapons to verify that the information on the inventory tag was correctly classified and entered on the data sheet. Results: Of the sample taken we found two weapons that were incorrectly classified. Two handguns were classified as rifles /shotguns. A $ 50.00 debit card was issued in both cases instead of a $ 75.00 card. 4) We tabulated the hand written entry sheet forms to determine the number of weapons turned in for each category and the proper amount was issued for each weapon except for the exceptions mentioned above. A complete physical inventory count was done by the senior budget examiner and range officers. This was verified by the auditor. Results: All weapons were accounted for by site location. 5) We reviewed the report on the debit cards issued by JP Morgan Chase to our tabulation of the hand written documents. Results: The number of cards issued agreed. Two cards were voided. IV. Conclusion In total, 723 weapons were turned in and the City issued $ 33,575.00 in debit cards. The City received 235 non- workinglantiques at a dollar amount of $ 2 220 rifle/shotguns at a dollar amount of $ 11,000.00; 263 handguns at a dollar amount of $ 19,725.00; and 5 assault weapons at a dollar amount of $ 500.00. We deem that the weapons were properly retrieved and the debit cards properly issued in accordance with procedures established for the program.

A few months ago, the parking meter tops were removed from the meters on Chippewa Street in order to implement the new park and pay system. Although we welcome the change, and only wish the best for the new system, we are concerned about the remaining poles that have yet to be removed. Several times since the meter tops have been removed, we have witnessed patrons of the district, walking into the poles left standing. Without the tops on the meters, when the sidewalk is crowded, they are nearly impossible to see until you walk into them. This is not only a hazard to the patrons, but a lawsuit waiting to happen against the City of Buffalo. We did call city hall to inquire about their removal, but were informed that they were being left in place so that bike racks could be made from them. Although we think that it may be a great idea for many other parts of the city, we don't think it is wise for Chippewa Street. The sidewalks are too narrow to sustain a bike rack and still provide ample space for our patrons to pass by without injuring themselves. There are multiple outside patios located on Chippewa Street and to place a bike rack near them, would definitely cause an obstruction to pedestrian traffic. Please let this letter stand as a notice of this hazardous condition. e T lank yo4 for your time and consideration. District Association, Inc.. CC.

Davis Buffalo Common Council 65 Niagara Square Buffalo, ny 14202 SUBJECT: Traffic on Carolina Street Dear Councilman Davis; I wish to express my concerns regarding hazardous traffic conditons on Carolina Street between Niagara Street and Elmwood Avenue: This stretch of Carolina Street is narrow and congested, It include a Public School, School 76, as well as a number of significant school bus pick -up and discharge locations such as at the corner of Prospect and Carolina. Carolina serves as a major downtown feeder route as does Prospect Avenue. The neighborhood also has a large number of small children. The resultant congestion and noise has a major negative impact on the neighborhood. I believe that the neighborhood woulb be well served if the speed limit were reduced to 15 mph in this area. This would reduce noise and the danger to school age children. It would help maintain the quality of life for the local residents. Accidents would be reduced. I hope you can take some action on this matter, on our behalf Janice Rodriguez REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION �81" ff a le Common councit MICHAEL P.

Thank you. - " - 'For the Pe® te®" l Dear Michael Kearns, Thank you in advance for taking the time from your busy schedule to listen to concerned parents from your district regarding SBFA. {South Buffalo Football Association.} Recently you were made aware of the deteriorating condition of Hillary Park. The litany of items in disrepair are numerous and extreme. The issues that are the most alarming for the neighborhood families are the following, MAIN BUILDING Kitchen needs electric updates. Exhaust fans, refrigeration units and Grill with range hood. The countertops are not only an eyesore but unsanitary. Bathrooms have not been updated since my childhood. The building lacks any adequate storage. Coaches store equipment in their homes when possible but the organization pays a storage fee year round due to the lack of space. The building needs an addition or a major expansion. FIELD Our field has never been crowned. Holes, divots, and multiple uneven spots have made the playing conditions very unsafe for our children. The usable baseball diamond's backstop is completely rusted and needs to be torn down. Least of our needs but extremely high on our community's wish list is a Scoreboard. We are the only Organization without one. Again not a necessity but would be a huge addition to our park. The playground is a disgrace. Broken swings, parts of unidentifiable equipment have rendered the grounds unusable. The old cement remains of the Children's pool from yesteryear at this point is a community hazard and would best be served filled and leveled. LANDSCAPING and PARKING LOT The landscaping was decimated after the October storm. What's left is a few crab apple trees and ragged brush that line the yards of Pawnee Street. The parking lot currently has two separate holes that measure 12 feet in diameter. Other needs, repaving, parking lot striping and designated handicap parking. The Park / parking perimeter fencing is broken, rusted and missing poles. As a non -profit organization SBFA has been primarily self-sufficient for over 40+ years. However we desperately need your help and direction. I would greatly welcome the opportunity to meet, tour the park and discuss the needs of this vital community center and steps that can be taken for restoration to past greatness. Again thank you for your time and concern Sincerely, James Blidy Field Marshall s SBFA. (: , REFERREEDT00 THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, 0 003 ") MICHAEL P.

I1A Dear South Buffalo Property Owner: CHAIRMAN FINANCE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT COMMIrrEES B u uC; E 13URA CIVIL SERVICE CLAIMS RULES SENIOR LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT MARTHA -ANN MURPHY I am writing to inform you that an updated .Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) has been adopted by the City of Buffalo Common Council for the South Buffalo area. As a result, your property may have been officially removed from the 100 -year flood plain and you may no longer be required to maintain flood insurance coverage for your property. If you currently maintain flood insurance on your property, you should contact your mortgage holder as well as your flood insurance provider to determine whether you may discontinue your coverage. For properties for which flood insurance is no longer federally mandated, property owners who give appropriate notice may be entitled to the return of the unused portion of any premium that they have prepaid. After consulting with FE"M.A on how property owners should proceed, my office drafted a form letter of which three (3) identical copies are enclosed. These forms have been included to assist you in contacting your flood insurance and mortgage providers with the information that they will need in order to determine whether you may be able to discontinue or revise your flood insurance coverage. You should complete the entire forms enclosed and then mail one copy to your flood insurance provider and one copy to your mortgage provider. The last copy should be retained for your records. This has been a long and trying process for all involved and I thank you for the patience that you have shown. We could not have come as far as we have without the participation of the many residents who participated in the Seneca- Cazenovia Flood Insurance Survey and the unified efforts of elected officials on the local, state and federal levels. It is my hope that by completing the enclosed forms and forwarding them to your flood insurance and mortgage providers, that the final procedural hurdle to removing your obligation to carry flood insurance will be cleared. Please contact my office at 851 -5169 if you have any questions or concerns in regards to this matter. Sincerely, Michael P.

In addition, many who have knowledge In one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is Intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow Introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and Information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, It assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place In Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible Impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an Impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially -large Impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact In Part 2 is identified as potentially - large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the Impact Is actually Important.

Responsibility of Lead Agency General Information (Read Carefully) • In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. • The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of magnitude that would trigger a response In column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific projector site other examples and/or lower thresholds maybe appropriate for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation In Part 3. The Impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are Illustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of Impacts and thresholds to answer each question. • The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. • In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumulative effects. Instructions (Mead carefully) a. Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any Impact, b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. C. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)to Indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. if impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1. d. Identifying that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant, Any large impact must be evaluated In PART 3 to determine signlflcance, Identifying an impact In column 2 simply asks that It be looked at further. e. If reviewer has doubt about size of the Impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. f. If a potentially large impact checked In column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) In the project to a small to moderate Impact, also check the Yes box In column 3. A No response Indicates that such a reduction Is not possible. This must be explained In Part 3. 1 2 3 Small to Potential Can Impact Be Moderate Large Mitigated by Impact Impact Project Change Impact on Land 1. Will the Proposed Action result In a physical change to the project site?

Is there, or is there likely to be, public controversy reiareo ro pownuai adverse environment impacts? E] NO OYES If Any Action In Part 2 Is Identified as a Potential Large Impact or if you Cannot Determine the Magnitude of Impact, Proceed to Part 3 Page 20 of 21 Part 3 - EVALUATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPACTS Responsibility of Lead Agency Part 3 must be prepared if one or more impact(s) is considered to be potentially large, even if the Impact(s) may be mitigated. Instructlons (if you need more space, attach additional sheets) Discuss the following for each impact identified In Column 2 of fart 2: 1. Briefly describe the impact. 2, Describe (if applicable) how the impact could be mitigated or reduced to a small to moderate impact by project change(s). 3. Based on the information available, decide If it is reasonable to conclude that this Impact is important. To answer the question of importance, consider: • The probability of the impact occurring • The duration of the Impact • Its irreversibility, including permanently lost resources of value • Whether the impact can or will be controlled • The regional consequence of the Impact • Its potential divergence from local needs and goals • Whether known objections to the project relale to this impact. The Planning Board has determined that the following impacts may be potentially large: - Traffic and Parking Impacts - NoisefDust/Truck Traffic Impacts associated with Construction - Impacts to Historical Resources - Impacts upon existing utility infrastructure - Growth- inducing Impacts of the Projects. Since the Project Sponsors have not yet quantified these impacts or proposed potential mitigation measures, the City of Buffalo Planning Board has determined that it Positive Declaration is appropriate and has asked the Project Sponsors to prepare a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement to analyze these impacts. Page 21 of 21 Alk qMWW New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 'ROW FACT SHEET Brownfield Cleanup` Program Former Buffalo China Site September 2008 Site #C915209 Buffalo, Erie County )(Environmental Investigation Results at the Former Buffalo China Site Available for Public Review 1 New York State Department of f;nvironniental Conservation (NYSDEC) and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOI - 1) have prepared this fact sheet to provide an update on the environmental investigation activities at and around the former Buffalo China Site located at 51 Hayes Place, Buffalo, Erie County. The investigation activities were conducted by Oneida Limited in order to develop an appropriate cleanup plan for the Site and to move towards the ultimate goal of cleaning up and improving environmental conditions at the Site. Cleanup work at this Site will be performed under New York State's Brownfield Cleanup Program. School26 Buffalo .7m SITE BACKGROUND The Buffalo China site has historically been the location Of china and mirror manufacturing. The site comprises approximately 8 acres and is bounded on the north by Conrail railroad tracks on the gist by the adjoining former Buffalo China Warehouse and other commercial /industrial facilities, and on the south and west by residential properties. 'I'he City of Buffalo School #26 and adjacent playground is located a few hundred feet to the southeast. The nearest body of water is the Buffalo River, located approximately 1 /4 mile south and cast of the site. Previous environmental investigations at the site indicated that the site's soil and groundwater have been impacted by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and lead. The DEC determined that this contarnination poses a significant threat to the environment and the public. INVESTIGATION ACTIVITIES An .luterini Site Investigation Report docunients the environmental investigation work completed as of 2008. The report is available for review at the last Clinton Branch Library and the DEC Region 9 office (see "For More Information" section of this fact sheet). "I'he report details the completed investigation activities, which included: • installing 21 soil borings at designated on -site and off-site locations to determine the extent of soil contamination; • collecting and analyzing surface and subsurface soil samples; • sampling five existing on -site groundwater monitoring wells; and • installing additional on -site and off -site groundwater monitoring wells. An access agreement from the City of Buffalo for several properties in the investigation area was recently acquired. The City -owned properties include several parcels on Lester and Harrison Streets, including the City of Buffalo School No. 26 and the associated playground. Fieldwork, which included soil and groundwater sampling, was recently completed. The results of sampling are currently pending and will be made available in an Addendum Report that will be available for review at the locations identified below. NEXT STEPS It will be necessary to install additional groundwater monitoring wells and collect groundwater samples to evaluate whether there have been impacts to groundwater and soil vapor beyond the Site boundaries. Any investigation work extending ' :)nd Site boundaries onto private property will be conducted with appropriate permission or authority. Following completion of Site investigation activities, a Remedial Investigation and Remedial. Alternatives Report will be prepared to summarize investigation results and to further determine an appropriaw cleaTILIP plan for the Site. Fact sheets similar to this one will be sent throughout the project to keep you updated and informed on the project's progress.

Cephas has provided transitional housing for releases for 25 years, first at St. Patrick Friary, and now at an apartment building in South Buffalo. Of those completing our program, less than 25% return to prison with new crimes, 75% have jobs or are receiving 551, only 25 % remain on DSS. The program is designed to provide transitional housing (from 90 days to twelve months, with an average stay is six months) to assist parolees to successfully transition into the community by providing a safe and supportive place to live and an opportunity to develop and practice newly acquired life skills. The two (2) units for live in staff are an integral part of the program, with staff helping to create a homelike environment, serving as a role model for the other residents and being available to mentor and encourage residents as needed. Residents will receive comprehensive services including: meals, medical and dental care, case management, substance and mental health counseling, education and job skills training, life skills training, recreational activities, and mentoring. These services will prepare the residents to become independent, productive members of the community. Cephas Attica, which started after the Attica prison uprising in 1972 and was incorporated in 1977, provides services to men in, and coming out, of the seven correctional facilities in Western New York.. The organization takes a "Whole Way Horne" approach to its services, which calls for a continuum of services that begins with prevention (through outreach and education), and ends with full integration into the community. Volunteer work with offenders who are still incarcerated, prepare them for release, guide them through the release process, and guide them through their transition back in to the community until ultimately they are ready to give back the society instead of taking from it. The proposed housing will assist with the transition once a man is released and enable Cephas to complete its continuum of services by providing transitional housing. Programs at Facility 1. Provide a detailed narrative description of the support services to be offered to project ti tenants. Be certain to include a discussion of the baseline services that will be available to assist tenants to stabilize in their housing and increase their ability to live independently. The program will provide transitional housing and comprehensive support services for men coming out of prison. The services to be provided to residents include: ■ Case Management - Upon entering the program, an intake will be conducted, the individual needs of the resident will be assessed, and short term goals will be established. Staff will provide referrals for needed services and meet regularly with the resident to monitor progress and make adjustments as necessary. ■ Group Counseling - Cephas will have two weekly group meetings; attendance at these meetings will be mandatory for all residents. ■ Meals - Residents, as part of the program, will be required to share the responsibility for meal planning, shopping and preparation; they will also be required to participate in the daily evening meal. ■ Medical Care - All residents will be required to obtain a medical and dental evaluation. Staff will provide referrals and accompany the resident to the appointment. Follow -up visits will be scheduled as necessary. ■ Substance Abuse/Mental Health - All residents will receive an evaluation and if deemed appropriate will be required to participate in counseling or other program to address the issue ■ Education and Job Training - All residents will be required to participate in an education or job training program. The emphasis of the Cephas House program will be to help residents obtain and maintain employment. The goal for each resident will depend on their educational, training, emotional or physical needs. ■ Life Skills Training - This will be done both formally and informally. Volunteers will conduct formal sessions on life skills such as financial management and budgeting that residents will be required to attend. Residents will also receive training through sharing the responsibilities of running the house. Residents will be required to do their own laundry, clean their own rooms and assist with the general upkeep and maintenance of the house. Residents will also be given weekly chores and, as mentioned above, will assist with meal preparation. ■ Recreation - Cephas will sponsor recreational activities and events that residents will either be required or encouraged to participate in. Mentoring - This is provided informally through interaction between staff (both live -in and not) and volunteers with the residents. The live -in staff is there to serve a s a role model for the residents and to be available to provide mentoring whenever the occasion arises. Support Services Plan i 2. For emergency and transitional housing, provide length of stay limitations and a description of the plans for placing tenants in permanent housing at the conclusion of their stay. Be sure to include how affordable permanent housing will be identified and made known to participants upon leaving the program. The Cephas House Program is a transitional housing program with a length of stay between ninety (94) days and twelve (12) months, with an average stay of six (6) months. During the period that they reside in the house, the men are provided with the tools they need to live independently. One of the goals is for the resident to obtain permanent housing upon leaving the transitional program. Towards this end, Cephas staff assist the resident locate permanent housing and make referrals to Belmont Shelter Corporation and the Rental Assistance Corporation for assistance and affordable apartment listings. Staff will then assist the resident in selecting and moving into the unit. 3. Describe your organization's working relationships with other local agencies. What specific benefits will residents gain through these relationships? Cephas relies heavily service providers in the community to provide services to residents of the program. Among those that Cephas works closely with are: • Division of Parole for referrals • Erie County Department of Social Services for transitional assistance during job readiness training and job search • St. Patrick Food Pantry and Thrift Store for food, clothing and supplies • Food Bank, of Western. New York for food • Goodwill Industries for job training • Bissonette House for referrals • Buffalo Employment and Training Center for employment training • Equal Opportunity Center for education • Spectrum Human Services for addressing substance abuse and /or mental illness Cephas is also an active member of the Erie County Reentry Program, a network of agencies that provide housing and /or services to men corning out of prison. In addition, Cephas relies heavily on volunteers. Among the services provided by volunteers are: preparing meals twice a week; providing computer skills training, providing life skills training including financial management; and mentoring residents. These linkages and relationships enable Cephas to ensure that the residents receive quality services that will meet their needs. —, .- Support Services Plan 4. Describe the activities and efforts to be undertaken to assist tenants to achieve self - reliance and economic independence. Identify the anticipated accomplishments to be achieved in assisting tenants to secure gainful employment. Provide statistical information detailing the program graduation, employment placement and employment retention rates of any employment and training programs to be accessed by project tenants. The goal of the program is to assist me to make the successful transition from prison to becoming an independent, self sufficient, productive member of the community. Towards that end, emphasis is placed on education and /or job readiness. Based on experience with their current transitional housing program, it is projected that: 50% of the residents will be employed at the time they leave the housing 25% of the residents will be on SSI /SSD 70% of the residents will not return to prison (compared to a national average of 40 %) 5. Describe how the delivery of services will be supervised to ensure that results are achieved and properly documented. The Cephas House program is highly structured. Staff will monitor the progress of each resident in an ongoing way, through regular meetings. In addition, there will be two live -in staff that will be there to make sure that people are following their program and making the progress that is expected of them. If they are not, intervention will be immediate. Cephas staff and volunteers remain in contact with residents once they leave the program and encourage their participation in weekly counseling sessions and other events. Demonstration of Need Demographics and characteristics of tar et Populatio n The target population for this project is men coming out of prison. The age will range from the 30s to 60s depending on the length of their incarceration, which is typically between 10 to 30 years, and their age when they were incarcerated. Many of the men will have a substance abuse problem or a mental health issue that contributed to their incarceration. Most of these men are at risk of becoming repeat offenders; the national average for recidivism for these men is between 60% and 70 %. Reason for homelessness All of the men are homeless by virtue of the fact that they are institutionalized and are released with no resources, no job and no place to live. Su ortive housing needs of target population The transition back to the community for individuals that have been incarcerated for many years is difficult. This is compounded by the fact that they have no resources, no job, and no place to move to. The men need a safe place to live where they can have the time to develop the skills necessary to reintegrate into the community. This includes counseling, job training, life skills training and learning how to interact with others in a healthy, respectful way. population The employment outlook in Buffalo is mixed. The region's manufacturers have lost jobs for nine straight years — a period that has claimed more than one of every five- factory jobs in the region. However, other employment sectors have made up these losses and the total number of employed persons has actually increased. There has been a transition in the type of jobs created. As opposed to higher paying manufacturing jobs, new job creation has centered primarily on the service and health/educational sectors while the manufacturing segment continually declined. Over the past couple of years, there has been an improvement in the total employment levels, although the increases have been below other Upstate New York communities and the state changes. Increases in employment over the next few years are anticipated, but primarily in the service - sector (health, educational and social services). Ga Anal sis Critical Raps . in supportive housin Individuals coming out of prison do not fit the HUD criteria for homelessness. Therefore, the largest source of federal resources to provide housing and services are not available to provide supportive housing for this population. This does not make the need less great and, with limited _11 resources to support this housing, there are very few Buffalo and Erie County facilities that specifically address the special needs of this population. While only 24% of the prison population originally comes from upstate New York, 91% are incarcerated here. Of the nearly 65,000 inmates in New York State prisons, approximately 3,000 are paroled to Buffalo and Rochester annually. Reintegration into the community is difficult for these men and, without support, approximately 60 - 70% will end up back in prison. A enc 's efforts to secure other funds Not applicable; the project largely proposes new units. Ex lain how ra'ect res ands to a in su ortive housin The proposed project responds directly to supportive housing gaps identified. Cephas House will create transitional housing that will provide a safe, nurturing environment where men will have all of their basic needs met and will develop the skills they need to live as independent, productive members of the community. The Cephas program includes counseling, job training, life skills training and mentoring, all of which are necessary for the men to be successuly reintegrated into the community and to avoid the behaviors that would contribute to being incarcerated. The success of this approach is well documented by the fact that 70% of the men who have gone through this program in the past have remained out of prison (compared to between 30% and 40% for those who have not received support) and 50% of the men are employed at the time that they leave the program. -YL. 07/11/2008 PAX 716 851 5006 DURA FCA 0001 C f But"T"alo i a OFFICE OF STRA PLANNING Byron W.

Digging should be needed primarily in cases where they need to clear underground obstructions or take care of problems with old conduit; and Whereas: Verizon has already provided FJOS service to parts of Amherst, the town and village of Hamburg, the town and village of Orchard Park, and Tonawanda; and Whereas: Verizon has started wiring parts of the city with its FiOS network. FiOS Internet service is now available in these areas, offering consumers Internet and Internet - phone service; and Whereas: Verizon does need a franchise to provide TV service, and state law prohibits giving a cable company an exclusive agreement; and Whereas: The City has requested that Verizon initiate franchise discussions, but the company stated that it is not ready to do so yet; and Whereas: Verizon is required by state law to build -out the entire community within five years of beginning; and Whereas: Verizon has placed its video -hub in the City of Buffalo; and Whereas: City of Buffalo residents are eager for an increase in cable television options.
