TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL DATE: April 3 2003 FROM: DEPARTMENT: Office of the Mayor DIVISION: Citizen Services SUBJECT: 311 Detailed Summary The Office of Mayor, Division of Citizen Services hereby submits for your Honorable Body's review of a summary as it relates to the planned 311 System implementation for the City of Buffalo, per the request of the Common Council staff. Over the past year, the City of Buffalo has toiled aggressively to research, design and implement a thorough process that would bring a state -of -the art "Best of Breed" 311 system to the City of Buffalo. The process included high - level city officials, skilled end users and community members. Input was gathered from a bevy of individual stakeholders representing private and public sector organizations. This system is viewed as a customer service improvement strategy within city government. The 311 system will simplify and shorten the time between a resident reporting a problem and receiving a resolution, while improving the delivery of city services both in terms of quantity and quality. The system will also be an effective management tool generating real -time reports that help department heads manage staff, track trends, highlight outstanding performance, target efficiency needs and maximize its resources under the guidance of the CitiStat initiative. Attached, you will find a summary as it relates to the progression of the Mayor's Call and Resolution Center and some of the anticipated efficiencies of the 311 System customer service strategy. Department Head Name: Oswaldo Mestre Jr. Title: Signature of Department H F ERRE D TO THE COMMITTEE N FINANCE, k BYRON W. BROWN MAYOR MEMORANDUM TO: James S. Pajak, Chief of Staff Flu ion Council FROM: Oswaldo Mestre, Jr., Dir cto Cc: Byron W. Brown, Mayor Steven M. Casey, First Deputy Mayor Donna M. Brown, Deputy Mayor DATE: April 3, 2008 SUBJEC .- Request of 311 Summary OSWALD() MESTRE, TR DIRECTOR 'rills inemoranduni is in regards to the Common Council correspondence dated February 22, 2008, requesting more information regarding the planned "311 System" for the City of Buffalo. 311 is a toll -free number reserved nationwide since 1997 for non - emergency calls to police and other govermnent offices. Balti Bore, Maryland was the first city to implement this system in 1996. Within two months of operation, 42% of 911 calls want to 311, lessening emergency - response times. Since 1997, many cities and counties have adopted 311 call centers, allowing residents to register quality of life complaints and concerns. The flagship operation within the Division of Citizen Services is the Mayor's Call and Resolution Center, which handles over 80,000 requests for services yearly. Since the inception of the Call and Resolution Center, we have progressively taken more calls each year, with marked increases ranging from three to thirty -three percent each year. In noting the occurrence of the October Surprise Storm in 2006, the Mayor's Call and Resolution Center becarrre a 24-hour operation, taking in an additional 15,000 calls during a 10 day period, boosting the total number of calls to 85,419 for 2006. In the absence of any major events in 2007, the Call and resolution center sustained a heightened increase in calls year long, resulting in 84,188 calls. '17he increase can be attributed to growing confidence, quick and professional service, and increased awareness of the Center. In moving forth, we wish to capitalize on the increase in citizen confidence by implementing 311 for the City of Buffalo. Evert thought we serve as the central intake mechanism for city residents, there is still room for improving and streamlining government operations. Currently, there are over 300 published phone numbers to access non - emergency City services for city government, yet most residents have little knowledge as to how to properly access city government and receive prompt, correct and efficient service. Most times, residents may be transferred three to four different times before 65 NIAGARA SQUARE / 218 CITY HALL / BUFFALO, NY 14202- 3342 / (716) 851 -5323 / FLAX: (716) 851 -5306 / wwwxity -buff loxom obtaining the proper party and/or information. The newly unveiled Call and Resolution Center will be viewed as a "one- stop" shopping center for City of Buffalo residents and visitors alike. Our ultiinate goal is to he a central hub for residents within the city, as it relates to city government.. At this tune, it is soinewhat difficult to quantify and anticipate the cost savings. In inoving forward with this initiative, we m also exandiling the possibility of consolidating the various call center operations that are housed in different departu - tents within city government, such as the City Hall main switchboard, Buffalo Sewer Authority and Department of Public Works. ' - leis will undoubtedly lead to increased efficiencies vatilin city government, freeing up personnel to perform other needed duties that are essential to the daily functions for Buffalo.

I understand that the ECHDC will include the City of Buffalo, the Common Council, and requisite departments within the City of Buffalo as involved agencies in the environmental review process. This will ensure the City of Buffalo's involvement in the ECHDC's initial consideration of potential bridge corridor alternatives, bridge types, and other issues associated with the work. Coordination will also prepare the City for the design and construction phase of this project, in which, as you recognize, the Common CounciI's approval will be required and the possibility exists for the Common Council or a City of Buffalo department to act as lead agent. Furthermore, I would expect an ongoing consultation between ECHDC and the City as to all related hiring decisions with particular focus on participation from City of Buffalo residents, minorities and females. I look forward to working with you on a "viable community alternative" for a new local bridge reconnecting the Inner and Outer Harbor.

TEXT: I am forwarding to your Honorable Body the Fund Balance Policy that would govern the existence and use of the reserve fund that is before the Council for consideration. The intent is to establish and maintain a minimum of a 30 -day level of unreserved fund balance to meet unanticipated and extraordinary operating or capital needs. Calculations for determining the size of the so- called Rainy Day Fund are included in the policy. I view this policy as sound and support the establishment of the Fund Balance Policy. R Ri +- 3 G R o k ° INANCL . Department Head Name: Andrew A. SanFili o Title: 4 Coin troller Signature of Department Head: F ' �•.5 /W City of Buffalo Fund Balance Policy Reserved Fund Balance Policy The Comptroller shall submit a calculation that determines the amount that may be placed in a reserve fund to the Mayor and Common Council within 30 days of receipt of the audited financial statements. Once the Common Council adopts a resolution authorizing the establishment of reserves in accordance with General Municipal Law, Section 6, the Comptroller shall reserve fund balance in the General Fund of an amount up to 15 days of the prior fiscal year's total general fund operating expenditures, or as otherwise authorized by law. The reserve shall be for the purposes allowed for in General Municipal Law, Section 6 -c. Unreserved Fund Balance Policy The City shall maintain a level of unreserved fund balance in the General Fund of no less than 30 days of the prior fiscal year's total general. fund operating expenditures, per the audited financial statements ( "Rainy Day Fund "). This level is deemed sufficient for the size of Buffalo, the predictability of cash flows, and the relative liquidity of investments. The Rainy Day .Fund will be recorded in the subsequent fiscal year's general ledger. In order to calculate the balance of the annual Rainy Day Fund, 8.33% (301360) of the prior year's total General Fund expenditures per the audited financial statements will be determined. Such calculation will be performed by the Comptroller's Office and filed with the Common Council within 30 days after receipt of the audited financial statements. If during a fiscal year the City has extraordinary operating or capital needs that could not be anticipated and cannot be funded with current budget resources, the City may utilize its established "rainy day fund ", provided there is a zero balance in the "excess, unreserved fund balance ". The Rainy Day Fund balance shall be used to determine the balance that may be used as a resource in the subsequent year's budget as follows: The total unreserved fund balance at the end of the fiscal year, as shown on the Balance Sheet of the audited financial statements, shall be reduced by the unrestricted net deficit (as applicable) of the Enterprise Fund's Solid Waste and Recyling fund at the end of the fiscal year and by the Rainy Day Fund, calculated as defined above, resulting in an "adjusted unreserved fund balance ". Such amount shall also be calculated by the Comptroller's Office and filed with the Mayor and Common Council within 30 days upon receipt of the audited financial statements. The calculation is demonstrated below: Unreserved fund balance - Net asset deficit of Solid Waste and Recycling Fund - Balance of Rainy Day Fund Ad'ustcd unreserved fund balance • 25% of the calculated "adjusted unreserved fund balance" may be used as a resource in the subsequent year's budget. The remaining 75% may only be utilized for a non- recurring expenditure and requires approval by the Mayor, Comptroller, and Common Council. if the City's Rainy Day Fund falls below the established threshold, the City shall appropriate 25% of the "adjusted unreserved fund balance" in the next and subsequent three - year's operating budgets. The Rainy Day Fund" shall be replenished to its required threshold within a four-year period. Fund Balance Policy Review This fund balance policy shall be reviewed as Necessary, but no less than once every 5 years to determine if the established level is still sufficient given the economic climate of the City. Changes to the policy require approval of 2/3 of the vote of the Common Council, and approval from the Mayor and Comptroller. �l FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL April 15, 2008 sS t � C'I FILL,MOIU) DISTRICT COJNCII., MliA9BF;lt April 11, 2008 DAVID A FRANCZYK PRE'-)IDEN`i' 01' l'1 it; BUFFALO COMMON COUNCIL, Dennis Gesel Building Superintendent I -A City Hall Buffalo, New York 14202 Re: Curtis McNally Dear Mr Gesel: 65 NIAGARA SQUAR 1315 CITY HALL BUFFALO, N1(14202 -33 "18 (716) 851 -4138 FAX: {71.6} 851 - 4869 E -mail: cif r8 i7czykC�Ci ty -iau f falo.eoln C:'ity of Buffalo Website: wS wxi t }'- buffaloxoni The following Councilmember's and their staff' would like to commend Curtis McNally for his time, effort and diligence in maintaining the professional decor of our offices.

PRIOR COUNCIL REFERENCE: (IF ANY) [: Ex. atern No. xxx, C.C.P. xx /xx/xx TEXT. (TYPE SINGLE SPACE 13ELOW� Attached please find the First Amendment to the Management Agreement between the Buffalo Water Board and American Water Services Operations and Maintenance, Inc. (AWS), for the operation of the water system:. At their meeting of January 9, 2008, the Buffalo Water Board approved an amendment to the current management contract, which included a 2 -year extension for the purpose of maintaining the uninterrupted and professional management of the System until a new professional manager is in place. The amendment does not involve any major new programs or reordering of priorities. It is primarily an extension of the existing contract for the purpose of providing sufficient time for the Board to complete a thorough RFQ /RFP process to find a new manager. A proper RFQ/RFP process will ensure that a qualified contractor is selected and that the Board achieves the greatest possible value for its customers. Furthermore, the 2 -year process will allow the transition to take place within a stable environment and reduce the risk of disrupting operations and or cash flow activities. In summary the Amendment includes the following items: • The existing contract terms and conditions (except as noted below) will be extended for 2 years commencing July 1, 2000 and terminating on June 30, 2010. • AWS will continue to make annual vehicle investments in the same amount as agreed during the first 5 years of the contract. • AWS will reduce its annual management fee by $280,000 and by $290,000 in the first and second years of the 2 -year extension. • The Board is currently upgrading it pumping systems. These upgrades will allow the Board to provide water service to its customers more efficiently and ultimately save hundreds of thousands of dollars in reduced electricity costs. Under the current contract AWS would derive most of the benefit from these anticipated cost reduction. The amendment fixes AWS's annual cost for power at $2,440,197 during the 2 -year extension. This will allow the Board to benefit from the savings that result from their capital investments. AWS has agreed to upgrade its customer service area to provide increased privacy for customers making special payment arrangements. AWS will make reasonable efforts to employ one or more students living in the City of • `< Buffalo during the 2 -year extension for an annual amount not to exceed $30,000. • AWS will hire another full time ennployee/indepeudent contractor to assist in the management of the System. • AWS will provide annual financial support rap to $30,000 during the 2 -year extension for youth programs, scholarships, or neighborhood improvement projects. • AWS will implement improved payment verification processes. • AWS has agreed to work cooperatively with the City, BSA, Division of Water, and Audit Department to identify improvements to the issues raised in the recently released NYS Comptroller Audit of the BSA. This may include enhanced procedures, segregation of duties, adjustment guidelines and additional information /reporting to the Board and other City Agencies. • AWS will make revisions/improvement to the Billing System up to $10,000 as necessary. Under the terms of the Operation Agreement between the City of Buffalo and the Buffalo Water Board as amended August 1, 1997, the Board is requesting authorization to enter into the First Amendment to the Management Agreement between the Buffalo Water Board and AWS for the continued operation of the water system until June 30, 2010.

April 1, 2008, specifically whether or not the proposed Local Law is subject to mandatory referendum under Municipal Home Rule Law §23. New York State Municipal Horne Rule Law §23 lists a number of situations in which a local law must be presented to the voters for a mandatory referendum in order to be adopted. The only relevant situation is contained in Municipal Horne Rule Law §23(2)(f), which states, "Except as otherwise provided by or under authority of a state statute, a local law shall be subject to mandatory referendum if it ...[a]bolishes, transfers or curtails any power of an elective officer." §20 -17.1 of Local Law Introductory No. 1, 2008, sets aside an amount of general fund unreserved fund balance amounting to at least 30 days of prior year expenditures pursuant to a fund balance policy, which shall be approved by the Mayor, the Comptroller and the Common Council. It also provides for the creation of a reserved fund balance in an amount of up to 15 days of prior year general fund expenditures, which shall only be spent for the purposes specified in General Municipal Law §6 -c. In a recent Court of Appeals case, the Court narrowed the scope of Municipal Home Rule Law §23(2)(f). The Court of Appeals held. that "the requirement of a referendum for legislation that `curtails any power of an elective officer' must be read as applying only to legislation that impairs a power conferred on the officer as part of the framework of local government." Mayor of Ci1y New York v. Council of Cit of New York 9 N.Y.3d 23, 33, 874 N.E.2d 706 (2007). However, as a general rule, a law that merely regulates the operations of city government is not a curtailment of an officer's power. Id. at 33. In the instant case, each elective officer's power in the City of Buffalo governmental structure is unimpaired and any limitation on any elective officer's ability to act is merely a consequence of legislative policymaking. The expenditure of the cl_c �Ah reserve funds is subject to the duly enacted policy that follows the same criteria for institution as the Budget itself The Common Council's powers with the respect to the Annual Operating Budget are contained in City Charter §20 -8, which allows it to act on the Mayor's Budget and, if such actions are objected to by the Mayor, to override the Mayor's objection by a vote of two- thirds thereof This power remains unchanged because the Council retains a simple majority voting power over the policy that will determine the strictures delineating the expenditure of the unreserved fund balance. With regard to the reserved balance, there is no change because there is no mandatory set aside as in the unreserved. The Mayor's powers with respect to the Budget under the City Charter are found primarily in § §20-3, 20 -6 and 20.8. These sections give the Mayor the power to prepare the annual operating budget on or before the I" day of May, to prepare and submit a budget message and to object to any items added to the Budget by the Council after its submission thereto. None of these powers are curtailed by the adoption of a policy, which itself must be approved by the Mayor, the Common Council and the Comptroller, regulating the use of the unreserved fund balance, which shall have been initially appropriated in 2007-2008. The Comptroller's powers with respect to the annual operating budget are contained in §20 -7 of the Charter, wherein, before May 10"', the Comptroller shall submit to the Council an assessment of the accuracy of the revenue and expenditure estimates of the Budget the Mayor submits to the Council. While, the Comptroller's power may be slightly expanded in that he approves the policy regarding the expenditure of the unreserved budget, this expansion does not result in the curtailment or transfer of the power of any other elective officer. Thus, none of the elective officers' powers are being transferred, abolished or curtailed through the passage of the Local Law. As the Comptroller opined in 1949, "the necessity for a referendum is obviated in the case of a local law amending the City Charter to authorize transfers between appropriations if the elective officers and bodies which have a voice in adopting the city budget are given the same power with respect to the authorization of budgetary transfers." (5 Op. St. Compt. 408, 1949). in the instant case, the elective officers retain the same powers with respect to the appropriation of the unreserved fund balance as they do with respect to the budget itself in that they maintain approval powers over the policy governing such appropriation, which are subject to the same approval procedure as the budget itself TYPE DEPARTMENT HEAD NAME: ALISA A. LUKASIEWICZ TYPE TITLE: Corporation Counsel SIGNATURE OF DEPARTMENT HEAD: °r �4 ITTE SINGLE PAGE COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMON COUNCIL TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL FROM: DEPARTMENT: LAW DATE: April 1.5, 2008 SUBJECT: (: Basil Group Req. for Removal of Easement — (: 1180 Abbott Road Request PRIOR COUNCIL REFERENCE: (IF ANY) ( :item No. 53 .C.C.P. 04/01/08) TEXT: (TYPE SINGLE SPACE BEi..OW At the April 8, 2008 Regular Meeting of the Common Council's Legislation Committee, a question came up regarding the status of negotiations regarding the above - entitled matter and the request from Basil Group for the removal of a City -owned utility easement from the property it has purchased at 1 180 Abbott Road. The following chronology of events has ensued regarding this matter. Basil approached the City and requested a Utility Easement Release from the City. The City Law Department informed Basil that it could not convey the City's interest in the real property without recovering the fair market value of the property as such a transaction would constitute an illegal gift of public funds under New York State Constitution Article Vlll, Section 1. City Charter and Code §27.4 details the process by which the City's conveyance of the utility easement can be accomplished to insure that no such illegal gift is made. In an effort to spare Basil Group the expense of an appraisal, the City Law Department calculated the easement release price at $4,000 (four thousand dollars and zero cents). The release price was arrived based upon a straight square footage pro - ration of the subject easement area in relation to the entire parcel in light of the Three flundred Forty Thousand and 001100 Dollars ($340,000.00) purchase price paid for the parcel by Basil Group. Basil Group offered to execute an Easement Release in exchange for its payment of the recordation fees associated with the filing of the Utility Easement Release document, which would constitute an illegal gift of public funds. After being informed that the City could not possibly agree to such an arrangement without it constituting a gift of public funds, communication between the parties temporarily broke off. Recently Basil has contacted the City and implored it to consider relocation of Cite easement to avoid any gift of public funds issues and to relieve Basil of any obligation to purchase the easement, as it can be relocated to a portion of the lot that is not slated to be built on, but only paved over. Counsel for Basil Group is currently advising his client of this option. The City Law Department is inclined to accept this arrangement so long as the easement provides for access rights in the event that the City needs to utilize the easement for utilities, that there are no utilities located where the current easement runs across the property and, in the event that there are, that said utilities be relocated by Basil to the new easement area. Currently, the City is awaiting the response of Basil Group as to whether or not the above- described proposal is a tenable solution to the problem.

March 2008: Ex, ite No. xxx, C.C.P. xx /xx /xx) This correspondence is in response to the Common Council's request for comments andlor recommendations concerning item # 134 CCP March 5, 2008 regarding the proposed resolution "allowing for Common Council approval of renewal of license applications for delicatessens "; and "the creation of a mechanism where citizen complaints, police reports and inspection citations disallow the automatic renewal of a delicatessen license ". in response to the "automatic" renewal of Food Store (delicatessen) licenses; please be advised that there are no provisions for the "automatic" renewal of any Food Store licenses. The procedures for issuing Food Store licenses are as follows: (1) All new Food Store applications must be approved by the Zoning Office, Building Inspection Office, Fire Prevention Bureau, Police Department, Collections Office and the Common Council. (2) All renewal Food Store licenses must be approved by the Building Inspection Office and the Police Department prior to a renewal license being granted. In addition to the aforementioned renewal requirements, the Department of Economic Development, Permit & Inspection Services in a recent agreement with this Honorable Body has implemented the policy of filing a list of all expiring Food Stores licenses with the Common Council prior to any renewal licenses being issued, hr accordance with said agreement, this list was filed with the city Clerk's Office on January 15, 2008 for Food. Stores with licenses expiring on April 1, 2008, The Common Council or any individual member can notify the Department of Economic Development, Permits & Inspection Services as to specific problematic Food Stores and this department will conduct an investigation prior to renewing said food Store license. In response to "creating a mechanism where citizen complaints, police reports and inspection citations disallow the automatic renewal of delicatessen license ": There currently is a "mechanism" already in place whereby both the Building Inspection Office and the Police Department must review the background of the owner and all police calls for the subject address for all Food Stores prior to the renewal of their licenses. These respective agencies inspect and can recommend the disapproval of the renewal of a Food Store license. Should either of these agencies deem the Food Store to be violating any of the codes or laws these respective agencies enforce, or if other relevant information comes to the attention of the Department, we may decide against the renewal of the license_ i Finally, as a result of the Committee meeting held on Thursday March 27, 2008, we wish to inform you that this Department would not object to a request by the Common Council for a thirty day moratorium on the renewal of food store licenses. It is understood that during the moratorium period, .food stores that bad valid, but expired licenses would be allowed to continue to operate. During this period, the Department will work with the Council to see if any additional changes should be made to the law. During this time, we request that Council members review the Food Store renewal list filed on January 15, 2008 to identify "problematic" Food Stores and make written request to this department to cause an investigation as to whether or not an Administrative .Hearing regarding the possible revocation or denial of renewal of an Food Store license is ap irate.

The NFTA also anticipates the harbor agency will purchase all 120 acres of its outer harbor land at the end of the lease term. "It's better off in the hands of people who have waterfront development as their sole purpose. We're here to run public transportation, they were set up to create a world - class waterfront," NFTA Chairman Gregory Stamm said. The planned aesthetic improvements will include planting of grass and other vegetation to reduce what Stamm described as the property's "dust bowl" look. The greening efforts will be concentrated on perimeters of the property that are visible to passers -by along Fuhrmann Boulevard and those using the new $13.6 million Outer Harbor Greenbelt. That pedestrian pathway will debut later this spring along the water's edge from the Seaway Piers to the Small Boat Harbor.

The lease arrangement provides needed planning time, said Jordan K. Levy, chairman of the harbor agency. "We need to figure out what we're doing out there because we want to get it right," Levy. said. "In the next five years, we're going to have the inner harbor nailed, and then we'll be able to integrate that with the outer harbor."

Page 2 of 2 2006 to open talks with the state development agency about taking control of the land. While the outcome of those discussions was expected to be a sale, not lease, both Levy and Stanull said the lease is the more expedient option. A "We intentionally focused o a lease so we could begin to take aesthetic improvements right away," I_,evy said, n noting the Complexity of the eventual title transfer. :'The lawyers will need many, many months" to complete sale doCUrrrents, predicted Statrurt, an attorney. "So instead of sitting around, we can do a lease now, they can get out there to green it up, and we'll figure out the details of ownership later," Stamen said. '['he NI=TA board of commissioners is expected to approve a memorandum of understanding outlining the lease deal when it meets today, with a formal lease vote likely in May. 11 timetable holds, the harbor agency could begin landscaping improvements this summer, The proposed outer harbor lease deal will not include the Pont Terminal building, which the N FTA leases to several businesses. The development agency is currently focusing its efforts on the $500 million Canal Side redevelopment plan for a 23- block area near the foot of Main Street, along the Buffalo River.

LoCurto DE-VELOPMENT Chair, Community Development Committee Cc: Buffalo Common Council Working for Today - Planning for Tomorrow Ask 0 Vir® New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Site No. 0915208 City of Buffalo, .Erie County Environmental Investigation Report on th( 75 Franklin Street Site Available for Public Review The results of an environmental investigation conducted at the 275 Franklin Street Site in Buffalo, Erie County are available fbr public review. These results have been summarized in a draft report, called a Remedial Investigation (RI) Report, submitted by the Buffalo Development Corporation to the New York State Department of l nvironinental Conservation (NYSDEC) under New York State's Brownfield Cleanup Program (t3CP). "1`he draft Rt Report is available for public review at the locations (document repositories) identified at the end of this fact sheet. NYSDI C previously accepted an application submitted by Buffalo Development Corporation to participate in the 13CP. The applicant proposes to clean up and develop the site for commercial purposes. Brownfield Cleanup Program: New York's Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) encourages the voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties known as "brownfields" so that they can be reused and redeveloped. These uses include recreation, housing and business. A brownfield is any real property that is difficult to reuse or redevelop because of the presence or potential presence of contamination. Highlights of the Remedial Investigation Report The draft R1 Report: 1) Describes the investigation activities completed 2) Defines the nature and extent of contamination at the brownfield site; and 3) Indicates that remediation is required. "Remediation" means all necessary actions to address any known or suspected contamination associated with the site. The Rl report explains that the site investigation involved soil sampling, monitoring well installation, groundwater sampling, and soil vapor analysis. The results revealed chlorinated solvents commonly used by dry cleaners (tetrachloroethylenc or PCE) in soils and groundwater. In addition, the RI revealed that PCf, in groundwater is migrating offsite at levels tip t.o 18 parts per million (ppm). The groundwater standard for PCF is 0.005 ppm. Background The BC1' site consists of two parcels that have been used for various purposes since the late 1800x. 275- 277 Franklin Street contained a structure that was used for dry cleaning from approximately 1951 until 2000. The building on the parcel was demolished in 2005 and paved over to be used as a surface parking lot. 279 Franklin Street was used for residential purposes from the late 1900s through the 1950s and as a �`(',' E Q AND FI 275 :Franklin Street March 2008 parking lot from the early 1980s to the present. The BCP parcels currently do not contain any structures. Next Steps NYSDEC and the New York. State Department of Health (NYSDOH) have determined that the 275 Franklin Street site poses a significant threat to human health and the environment because of offsite migration of PCE in groundwater and because of the potential for vapor intrusion into nearby offsite buildings. Consequently, investigation of offsite areas to further determine the extent of the contamination is required. Buffalo Development Corporation is currently working on an Alternative Analysis Report (AAR) to evaluate a number of possible clean up actions that address onsite contamination. NYSDEC will keep the public informed throughout the investigation and remediation of the 275 Franklin Street site through fact sheets similar to this one. FOR MORE INFORMATION Document Repository Document repositories have been established at the following location to help the public review important project docurents.

("CLS" ) is currently implementing a case and contract management system for the City of Buffalo Law Department that contains Legaf.Service Center platforms to facilitate the Law Department's collaboration with the Common Council and City Divisions, and a separate platform to help the Law Department manage its outside law firms. Following is a brief overview of the solution and the expected efficiencies and cost savings to be generated through the use of this solution in the following areas: • Efficiencies within Law Department • Efficiencies in Law Department Collaboration with Common Council and City Divisions • Efficiencies with Law Department Sharing of Non- Confidential Legal Resources with Other Municipal Law Departments Section VI discusses CLS's proposed measurement methodology to track performance and cost savings. Included is a discussion of the standard . measurement approach that CLS wlll.promote . to all municipal law departments nationwide. 1. Summary of Agenda Solution CLS's Agenda Solution is an innovative collaboration portal system for lawyers offering process, content, technology, metrics and services management tools in order to delve superior legal performance, A. One System to !Manage All Processes CLS's Agenda Solution"' is the industry's first "legal ERP" and legal business performance management portal collaboration platform designed to manage legal business processes and content, unify disparate legal technology application integration, and offer business intelligence reporting and analysis. The goals: ensure economies of scale efficiencies, increase productivity, cut costs and maintain consistent work quality and output. The CLS Agenda Solutionr"' is based on a simple premise: bring best industry practices under one system and share them with a community of corporate law departments and lawfirms. It is the first ever legal enterprise system that: • Provides an integrated approach that takes all the pieces of the work puzzle -- process, content, technology, metrics and services — and organizes them into a cohesive system. t CLS Confidential and Proprietary The Corporate Legal Standard, Inc. I 1 • Provides an easy -to -use platform offering best practices functionality across key departmental activities and supports the platform with training and productivity consultation. • Provides a built -in performance metrics feature to facilitate more effective management practices. • Leverages industry standards and performance metrics developed through the Open Legal Standards Initiative spearheaded by CLS. • Identifies industry best practices from leading law departments, former general counsel and other experts and configures these best practices into an easy -to -use and easy -to- access format through our patent - pending online Process Workflows. • Provides a holistic view of the business of practicing law in a legal department through a common collaboration and productivity system. In sum, the Agenda Solution offers one solution to track: (1) what needs to be done; (2) who needs to do it; (3) how should it be done; (4) when should it be done; and (5) tracking that it is done. CLS also offers a business management consulting system to handle all aspects of implementation, training, usability, adoptability and ongoing management. B. N/1 1 -atter and Contract Managornent Modules The Agenda Solution was designed around a modular framework to allow law departments to choose which subject matter modules to implement to manage various processes. CLS will be implementing the matter management and contract management modules for the City of Buffalo Law Department. The Agenda Contract solution provides a simple step -by -step workflow approach to managing the entire contract lifecycle — from drafting, to managing to reporting and risk analysis and management. The Agenda Contract management solution is available on a portal system so that all team members with permissions can collaborate together to reduce the cycle time for generating contracts. Key features include: • Contract Process Workflow • Version Control and User Change Contract Document Storage • Customized Reporting • Alerts and Expiration Date Tracking • Customized Contract Coding Entry • Contract Approval • Common Database to Access all Contracts • Permissions and Security Management C LS Confidential and Proprietary The Corporate Legal Standard, Inc. [ 2 rV CLS's Agenda Matter solution offers robust case management features to collecting matter data information necessary for the handling of all legal matters and reporting on these matters at the macro level. CLS offers the following features: • Collect and track various case data • Generate reports on case data • Search for case data • Engage in strategic planning • Calendar /Scheduling • Manage case documents C. Legal Service Centers for Gammon Council and City Divisions and Law Firm ;agenda System The ability to capture and share information is a fundamental part of process improvement. -The Agenda Solution provides clients a common portal platform for collaborating with all their. teams — law department, City Council /Mayo, City Divisions and outside counsel /vendors.

From these portals, the Common Council .and City employees can request legal advice.and contracts to be drafted: and view policies and other guidelines from the law department. fil.. Eaw'Department Efficiencies and Cost Savings The Law Department seeks to pursue the following internal quality, efficiency and cost saving goals through the use of the CLS Agenda Solution: • Provide Effective Legal Counsel (including increase wins and lowering settlement cost) • Provide Timely and Responsive Legal Counsel (including tracking the time to respond to requests) • Provide Efficient Legal Counsel (including increasing the ability of the team to handle more matters per person more efficiently) • Reduce Cost of Providing Legal Service (reduce the cost to handle each matter) Enhance quality and use of Performance Information to Improve Decision- making • Increase Employee Satisfaction • Ensure Professional Development and Training of Staff • Increase Diversity in Law Department Practices • Increase Use of Technology • Manage Use of Outside Counsel Effectively • Reduce Outside Counsel Spending • Increase Diversity in Law Firm and Vendor Hiring C LS Confidential and Proprietary The Corporate Legal Standard, Inc. 13 4.S �7 The measurement methodology to track the law department's progress in reaching the above performance goals is discussed in Section VI below. While target cost reductions and efficiency increases are still being developed, CLS estimates that the City of Buffalo Law Department can enjoy 5 to 15% increases in the efficiency by which it handles matters and achieve cost savings of 5 to 10% primarily in the area of outside counsel spending. Actual efficiencies and cost savings will be impacted by the actual workload, usage, and what types of measures are taken into account. I L aw eparl°ri O nt , C . thon vint1h Corinm n % C louncll M City i i ion f f i ende s and Cost Savings Part of the Law Department's goals in using the Agenda Solution is to facilitate the quality of services it provides to the Common Council and City Divisions. The Law Department seeks to pursue the following quality and efficiency goals in providing legal services to the Common Council and City Divisions: • Increase City Council /Mayor Satisfaction with Legal Services • Provide High Level Status Reports on Legal Department to City Council /Mayor • Increase City Divisions Satisfaction with Legal Services • Provide High Level Status Reports on Legal Department to City Divisions The measurement methodology to track the law department's progress in reaching the above performance goals will largely be in the form of Client Satisfaction Survey scores as discussed in Section VI below. By subscribing to the CLS Agenda Solution, the City of Buffalo will be able to participate in intermunicipal collaboration to achieve further efficiencies and cost savings. The City of Buffalo Law Department is taking the lead in implementing the Agenda Solution and will help develop a system that will be promoted as a nationwide model for providing more cost- effective municipal legal services. CLS is organizing a conference with Albany Law School's Government Law Center on reducing municipal legal costs through shared technology and resources and will feature the City of Buffalo as a model case study. CLS is spearheading the development of a universal approach for municipal law departments to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. CLS seeks to pursue three initiatives with select municipalities: Univer= :, fl Shared Kwildp l is ugal Sy `.rn — Develop a universal case and contract management system customized for municipal law departments (this system will include other efficiency, knowledge management and productivity tools). U- Confidential and Proprietary The Corporate Legal Standard, Inc. 14 • Municipal Law Collaboration Portal — Develop a shared resources feature on this Universal Legal Platform to allow municipalities to share best practices, legal research, forms and documents and law library materials. • Alternative.and Flat Fee Law Firm Arrangements and RFP — Develop a series of standard alternative and flat fee models for municipal law departments to retain outside law firms and prepare and manage the RFP process to retain such law firms on behalf of participating cities. Participating municipalities will meet regularly to provide input to develop a universal case and contract management /legal resource sharing system to allow cities to leverage their joint knowledge to develop a customized system that addresses the unique needs of municipalities. Outside legal expenses generally constitute about 25% to 30% of a, law department budget. As private law firm hourly rates increase, these expenses are expected to impact municipal law department budgets as well. Municipalities will also meet to define alternative fee arrangements (such as flat fee ` models)-for retaining outside law firms to perform municipal work and to define a group -RFP to retain such outside law firms more cost - effectively for cities. CLS seeks to work with participating municipalities to: • Design a series of standard. flat fee and alternative fee arrangement models that can be used out of the box' with outside law firms; these models will contain scope of work, - measurement formulas and performance evaluation tools Create a management system' to manage the implementation of such flat fee and alternative fee arrangement models more efficiently; • Develop an RFP proposal to solicit bids from interested law firms to participate in these flat fee and alternative fee arrangement models; and • Manage the implementation of the flat fee and alternative fee arrangement models. The goal with these flat fee arrangements is to reduce the overall cost of retaining outside law firms. CLS will also orient outside law firms to use the Universal Shared Municipal Legal System to operate more efficiently and to share their knowledge. Under the RFP approach, outside law firms will be incentivized to lower their fees in exchange for greater volumes of work provided to them from participating municipalities. The measurement methodology to track cost reductions through this intermunicipal approach will largely track the uniform list of metrics provided in Section VI below.

At this time we wish to make a statement regarding this and other petitions circulated throughout the West Village area by agents of the West Side Market. We are confident that this petition is comprised of questionable signatures that either do not represent residents of our area; were signed in duress or in lack of understanding; or were forged and request that the Council perform strong due diligence in ascertaining the credibility of every signature on said petition if it is, indeed, allowed into any evidence regarding the number of conditions and codes the West Side Market has either ignored or left to languish. This would include identical signatures and /or handwriting; addresses out ofthe 14201 zip code; illegible names /signatures; ages of signors; and complete understanding of the subject matter. This subcommittee of the West Village Renaissance Group is prepared to provide the Common Council with signed and notarized affidavits to prove our statements regarding the irresponsibility and lack of code and conditions committed by the West Side Market under their past as well as most current temporary license. We ask that this petition presented here today be subject to the same scrutiny and those who have signed said petition provide the same legal affidavits for each signature to assure the credibility of that petition.

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That the City of Buffalo Common Council reaffirms and declares once again that we are hereby enacting an immediate moratorium on surface parking lots within the Downtown Flub of the City of Buffalo; and Be It Further Resolved: that for the purposes of this Moratorium the Downtown Hub is expressly declared to include the east and west sides of Michigan Street from its over pass of the I -190 Park to Virginia; the North and South side of Virginia Street from Michigan Avenue to the 1 -190, thence along both the east and west bordering properties to the 1 -190 corridor to the point of beginning on Michigan Street; and Be It Further Resolved: that the Commissioner of Economic Development, Permit and Inspection Services is hereby directed to cease the granting of any more permits for the construction of surface parking lots within the Downtown Hub as above defined; and Be It Further Resolved: that the Director of Licenses is further directed not to issue any further licenses for the operation of surface parking lots in the Downtown Hub as above defined; and Be It Further Resolved: that the Permit's Office is directed to refer all requests for future surface parking in the City of Buffalo for review by the Office of Strategic Planning; and thence this honorable body; and Be It Finally Resolved: Unless and until any surface parking plans are reviewed and approved for relief from this moratorium no further surface parking lots shall be constructed in the City of Buffalo's Downtown I-Iub.
