This will allow our back -up driveway to be moved farther away from a neighboring resident that is approximately 25 feet from the property line and keep the traffic from our transfer station and recycling center a farther distance away from our neighbor. Our company is also interested in purchasing Scatchurd Place. We want to create a neat and presentable entrance and exit to our neighbors and businesses located in the Seneca Babcock neighborhood. Both of these properties would tremendously better the Seneca Babcock Community and our business. In addition both of these properties would be an increase in revenues for the City of Buffalo by placing them back on property taxes instead of being vacant land. I have enclosed a copy of the tax snap circling the specific location of 1077 Seneca Street and Scatchurd place. If you have any questions I can be reached by cell at 725 -4516. Sincerely, f.

My request for a single wedge style awning was denied in favor of four separate awnings. On July 10, 2008, Elizabeth Martin, SHPO staff architect for the Buffalo Region reviewed my proposal with Gregory Bernas, City of Buffalo Assistant Environmental Program Coordinator, and determined that my proposal for a single wedge style awning would not have any adverse effect on either the building or the Allentown District. The Preservation Board ignored her findings and denied my request. I agree with the state that the awning I originally proposed is reversible and will not have an adverse effect on the building or the district. I am appealing the finding and request a hearing per section 337 -26 of the City of Buffalo Preservation Code in anticipation of the Common Council reversing the Preservation Board's ruling.

Ms. Jeanine Baran, of the Buffalo Economic Renaissance Corporation, administrator of the Ellicott District Sign & Storefront Program, stated Mr. Daniel Campled has requested assistance through this program to install an awning on the front of his building at the above referenced address_ Ms. Elizabeth Martin, of the State Historic Preservation Office or SHPO has already reviewed the sign at the time she reviewed the sample awning, which has been approved by the Board. Upon discussion, the Board stated in reviewing the Preservation Briefs #44 and Interpretation Bulletin #27, which refers to awnings, and referecing "Destiny's" awning just up the street from this location, one of the central issues raised in the Preservation Briefs and reiterated in Eye cast No. 27, is that "there not be a single interrupted awning over multiple storefronts'; "Destiny's" has three separate awnings, they follow the guidelines. They have a total of (4), four separate awnings: one each over the door, and the two separate storefronts. The transoms are a significant architectural feature; and are not sure why SHPO suggested they are not. But at a minimum, the Board feel there should be separate awnings over the separate storefronts and should be evident. The Board suggest there be an awning for each separate section and that the awning is not taller than it's depth; that the conduit lines be seen between the lights; that awning not come down below the bottom portion of the transom so they are not covered, the sides of the awning to be opened. DISPOSITION: A motion to approve with conditions that instead of (1) single awning, there be (4) four separate awning, separation is the existing vertical mullion, the depth of the awning to be 40 11 , no taller than the existing continuous transom (milk glass) at the top and the bottom of the awning to be no lower than the bottom of the continuous transom, each awning to be opened on the sides, was made by Mr. Guerra, seconded by Mr. Garrett and carried. 9 337 Appears.

Over the last 20+ years we [DPBC] have been plagued with numerous occurrences of problematic behavior from the patrons of this establishment. Nearby neighbors have witnessed unsupervised loitering outside the store, with open bottles of beer while smoking cigarettes [ and possibly illegal drugs]. Walking past these individuals is a frightful experience at best. Cars are often parked illegally, playing extremely loud music, while someone runs into the store. It has also been brought to our attention that the illegal selling of single cigarettes is common here. In the past, the DPBC has swept and picked up debris outside the store and the adjacent lot only to be littered again the very next day. We would ask you to use whatever influence you have to deny the renewal of this license.

Joseph M. Ralston persuaded the sisters to borrow more than $21,000 on their credit cards to replace a chimney he claimed was in disrepair, police say. About a month ago, Ralston stopped by 85 -year -old Dorothy Pannrilla's William Street home and told her 70- year -old sister, Carolyn Stevens, their chimney was falling apart, the sisters recalled Monday, a day after Ralston was arrested. Ralston allegedly showed up with a crew of men who scaled the roof of the two -story house and began chipping away at the bricks and mortar joints to prove the chimney was in danger of toppling. "Tic said our whole chimney needed to be tarn down because it was bad," Stevens said. When she tried to argue that his men had just loosened the chimney with their harrimers, she said, Ralston ignored her. Pannullo says she feels she and her sister didn't have a chance once Ralston had set his sights on them. Twice, Ralston has spent time in state prison for stealing thousands of dollars frorn senior citizens in home- improvement scares that span two decades. Nine years ago, when he was sent to prison for scamming three different women in Cheektowaga and Buffalo out of a total of $16,000, he had told the judge he needed professional treatment for his drug addiction. _7 i In 1993, he was arrested for a home - improvement scans in the Town of Tonawanda that, authorities said, involved a group of individuals who had charged an 89- year -old Lackawanna woman $1,600 to fix three leaky faucets. lin another case, a 90- year -old Lackawanna woman was billed for repairing a chimney that didn't exist. "He's one con artist. He could talk you into anything. He made our chimney look like the whole house was falling down," Pannullo said of the cracks that are now in the walls of her Lovejoy home. "The wall in my dining room is slowly coining down, and the one in any washroom is falling apart too." The damage, the sisters explained, OCCU red after they hired Ralston's company, R. L. R.. Roofing of Buffalo, to take down the old chimney and build a new one from the basement up. Once the old chimney was dismantled, they said, Ralston kept calling with excuses about why he would be delayed in constructing the new one. "On Valentine's Day, he said he couldn't get the men to work. Another time he said he Had a truck accident, and another time he said his t - nen were mad at him. He was all excuses," Stevens said. This all took place after the sisters had paid in advance for the work. "We took it off the charge cards. I owe $13,000, and my sister owes $8,300," Stevens said. "I kept going to the bank. For the love of me, I don't know what I was doing. I just knew I had to get the money for his supplies." Their story goes beyond elder abuse, according to Patricia E. Watson, a supervisor in the Erie County Department of Senior Services. "There's a warning here for everybody who is in their homes and their doorbell rings," she said. "If there is someone approaching you with contractor work, first of all, get three estimates. Compare the work that's to be done, including labor, materials and time. Thee decide on your contractor, ask for references and look at their work." An arrangement on payments, she added, needs to be spelled out ahead of tinge. "You never pay 100 percent up front. Sonae people say a third, and some say 50 percent, and you never give your last payment until the work has been satisfactorily completed," Watson said. Expressing, concern for Stevens and Pannullo, she said senior citizens should call her office if they have any questions regarding home improvements and dealing with contractors. "We have all kinds of information on home repairs, and we'll work through the process," Watson said. She can be reached at 858 -8526. As for the two sisters, they think it's doubtful they'll he reimbursed. "It would be a miracle," said Stevens, who moved out of her second -floor apartment and lived with her sister on the first floor of the house for weeks because of damage done by Ralston's workers. To make smatters worse, they hired another contractor to build a new chimney, which costs them approximately $3,000. Stevens said she and her sister are "disgusted" about the difference in price between what Ralston and the second contractor charged. The only bright spot, they say, is news that the 43- year -old Ralston has been arrested. "Thank God for that," Pannullo said. Ferry- Fillmore District Officers Robert Gonez and Peter Kocol have charged Ralston, of Brookfield Lane, Cheektowaga, with third- degree grand larceny. Detectives Ralph Skinner and Carmen Menza also were involved in the investigation, which is now being followed up by the Erie County district attorney's office.

"All too often, our members have seen the tragic impact of drunk driving when responding to fatal car accidents," said Charles Morello, president of the New York Professional Fire Fighters Association. "Just last month, we mourned the death ol'a Suffolk County police officer as a result of a drunk driving accident. This tragedy, and those that involve underage drinking, should remind us that we roust continue to find new ways to reduce drunk driving. We share the concerti from LEADD that the Governor's plan will. increase drunk driving and underage drinking. For that reason, we urge the State Legislature to reject this proposal." Last year, Massachusetts voters rejected a similar idea because of the devastating impact it would have had on teenagers, and no state has passed this kind of measure in 23 years. In Florida, California and 'Texas, three states where wine is sold everywhere, the number of alcohol related fatalities per 100,000 is more than double that of New York State. Even worse, alcohol related fatalities ofthose under age 21 are three times higher in these states where wine is sold everywhere, as compared to New York which has independently owned licensees, legally responsible for preventing youth from purchasing alcohol. Law Enforcement Against Drunk Driving (LEADD) Chairman Dan Sisto said, "We welcome the support of the New York Professional Fire Fighters Association in our campaign against this misguided idea. Like police officers and troopers, these first responders must confront the havoc wrought by drunk driving and underage drinking all over New York. We urge the Legislature to work together to reduce drunk driving, not make alcohol more readily available to teenagers." E d Frank of Choices 301, Inc., an organization dedicated to combating underage drinking and drunk driving, said, "This proposal would give teenagers easier access to alcohol without the scrutiny that wine sellers and liquor stores provide. That's a dangerous idea that will only lead to an increase in underage drinking and drunk driving deaths. Underage drinking is a serious problem and we roust do all we can to eliminate it rather than encourage it. We urge the State Legislature to find a better way to deal with the budget problems." -more- The LEADD coalition includes: New York State Association of PBAs; Police Conference of New York; New York State Association of Chiefs of Police; New York City District Attorney Investigators Association; Police Conie.reoce of New York; New York.

In an expression borrowed from a Master Electrician that we have utilized as a consultant: "My God, we're talking about people's lives here." This travesty has been an ongoing resource of anxiety to the entire Historic West Village due to inequitable inspections and permissions starting from the original promises of Big Star to our community to the recent findings of our Rooming House Sub - committee. Although Big Star had stated they invited 65+ households to view the property on Thursday, March 12, 2009, not one household on the surrounding streets that comprise the West Village received this notice, nor did the principles of the West Village Block Club with addresses and homes on Prospect Avenue. Being a unified group of citizens, we were able to convene the necessary parties to attend the viewing, much to the owners' consternation. The property has, in -hand, a Certificate of Occupancy. We are at a loss as to how this permission was granted as, during our viewing that also included experienced fire, electrical and construction personnel, many violations of the building and fire code were witnessed. Examples: BX cable is mounted on the walls and ceilings; asbestos laden pipes are found in the basement (although we were told an asbestos inspection had been performed); work was done without permits; there are fire escape issues and many other items that would have prevented this property from receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. Additionally, there are a multitude of other violations that were either ignored or overlooked. And, perception is everything, as we had mentioned during a meeting with the Mayor and then - commissioner Richard Tobe when it comes to what the inspectors allow to pass. There have been a total of four FOIL requests that have either gone unanswered or where little or no true documents have been provided, the last request having been made on Friday, March 13, 2009. We will invoke Article 78 if needed to assure we receive all requested records. We are requesting an in -house inspection of said property allowing a consulting inspector with a Master License in electricity selected by the WVRG along with a representative from our organization to occur within the next two weeks. We are also requesting that any and all Certificates of Occupancy be rescinded until such time that said inspection is performed and all work is properly permitted and performed in accordance with all fire and building codes. We are also demanding the property not be allowed a Lodging House License at this or any time in the future. We are providing you with a five - business day window with which to respond to this letter. If you decide to ignore our requests, unfortunately, due to the lack of cooperation we have thus experienced on this and other matters through the years, we will contact the media to continue our quest for equitable inspections and permit processes in accordance to law.

Licata Senior Legislative Assistant Buffalo Common Council 65 Niagara Square Roorn 1308 Buffalo, New York [ 4202 Item #70, C.C.P. February 17, 2009 "Day Care Tax Penalty" (Mast) Dear Mr. Licata, I received your letter dated March 5, 2009 with reference to above matter. Please be advised that the day care providers paid by the Eric County Department of Social Services are licensed by the State of New York and as such are not "casual babysitters" as indicated in your attached resolution. There; are also non - licensed or informal (legally exempt) day care providers. These providers still must apply and register through a careful screening process established by the NYS Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) as codified under 18 NYCRR 415. They too would not be considered "casual babysitters." A parent has the options to use an informal provider and that provider then can opt to care for the children) in their own horne or at the child(ren)'s home. The latter is considered In -Home day care and. as such the day care voucher is sent to the parent, although both the parent and provider have to complete, sign and return it. The check for those services is sent to the parent and the parent is responsible to pay the provider. In those cases the Department would not issue a 1099 form to the provider. The instructions for Box Three (Other Income) on form 1099 -MISC state in pertinent part: Enter other in.corne of'$600 or more required to he reported on I 1099- MISC that is not reportable in one of the other boxes on the form. Also enter in box 3 prizes and awards that are not_for services performed Other items required to be reported in box 3 include the following. RA - ni BuiL • 95 FRANKLIN STREET 1 301 4 FALo, N.Y. • 14202. (716) 858 -6000 . WWW.r:RiE -GOV J 1. Generally, all punitive damages, any damages for nonphysical injuries or sickness, and any other taxable damages. Damages received on account of emotional distress ... Also report liquidated damages received under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Taxable back pay damages may be wages and reportable on Form W-2, 2. Payments as explained on page 2 under Deceased employee's wages. 3. Payments as explained on page 3 under Indian gaining profits, payments to tribal members. 4. Payments made to former employees while the are in military service with the United States Government or active service with the National Guard. S. Termination payments to former self-employed insurance salespeople. 6 A payment or series of payments made to individuals . for participating in a medical research study or studies. T believe that it is self - evident from the above descriptions that income: derived from providing Day Care services would not qualify such income for inclusion in this category. The instructions for Box Seven ( Nonemployee Compensation) on form 1099 - MISC state in pertinent part: Enter nonemployee compensation of $600 or more. Include fees, commissions, prizes and awards far services performed as a nonemployee, other forms of compensation for services pelf brmcd far your trade or business b an individual who is not your employee . . . _ Generally, amounts reportable in box 7 are subject to self - employment tax. If payments to individuals are not subject to this tax and are not reportable elsewhere on Form 1099 -MISC, report the payments in box 3. However, report section 530 (of the Revenue Act of'1978) worker payments. in box 7. What is nonemployee compensation? Tf the following foul° conditions are met, you must generally report a payment as nonemployee compensation, • You made the payment to ,someone who is not your employee; • You made the payment_for services in the course of`your trade or business (including government agencies and nonprofit organizations); • You made the payment to an individual, partnership, estate, or, in some cases, a corporation; and • You made payments to the payee of at least $600 during the year. Examples. The following are some examples of payments to be reported in box 7. • Professional service fees, such as fees to attorneys (including corporations), accountants, architects, contractors, engineers, etc. • Payment, for services, including payment for parts or materials used to perform the services if supplying the parts or materials was incidental to providing the service, 1 , • A fee paid to a nonemployee, including an independent contractor, or travel reimhursenient for which the nonemployee did not aecount to the payer, if the fee and reimbursement total at least $600, While not versed in the Federal Tax Code, it is my understanding that self- employment tax is a social. security and Medicare tax primarily for individuals who work for themselves and not specifically for "businesses" as stated in the proposed resolution. I also believe that income derived from providing day care services falls into this category and must be reported as such. Therefore, despite the good intentions of the proposed resolution, the Erie County Department of Social Services cannot. "report daycare income as other income in (Box 3) for regular tax purposes" because we believe that it would be a violation of the Federal Tax Code as well as OCFS Regulations. At the Department of Social Services we strive to address all questions and complaints and we thank you for your concern. Please feel flee to contact me at 716.858.7511 if you have any questions.

'These matters involve allegations of misconduct elected and appointed city officials, and as such any investigation of these platters properly rests with the Common Council. First, as you may be aware, there have been a series of published reports regarding the private financial dealings of Councilman Davis. While this is not normally an item that would lend itself to a Common Council hearing, there are additional facts regarding Mr. Davis, that if true, represents abuse of his official capacity. In this regard, there have been published reports in the local 111edia, (i.e. Artvoice) that Mr. Davis's activity of passing bad checks to local businesses is not a singularly isolated event involving the restaurant 1`ormcrly know as One Sunset. Rather, there have been allegations made and independently confirmed that Mr. Davis has repeatedly engaged in a systematic pattern of bouncing checks at neighborhood corner stores. When store owners sought to recoup the monies they had provided to Mr. Davis, these store owners were threatened with the closing of either their businesses or those of their relatives. When threatened in this manner, the store owners chose to abandon their collection efforts. <nU 4", -;-, fit The point here is clear. 'These allegations, if true, constitute a criminal offense. Moreover, the pattern of criminal activity combined with the threat to use his elected position to single out and punish his victims is an outrageous abuse of public office. Normally these criminal matters would be investigated by the Buffalo Police Department, but in this case, Mr. Davis sits as the Chair of the Buffalo Police Oversight Committee. As a result, Crone of these allegations have been investigated by anyone except the media which has been able to confirm the allegations. f ain requesting that the Council perform an investigation of these issues. Second, there have been allegations made that Mr. Davis has used public monies for his private enterprises. To wit, there has been a particularly disturbing assertion that CBDG monies which were designated for the Ellicott District were instead directed to the One Sunset business. In addition, there is an allegation that BERC monies were also used to assist the One Sunset business, monies that were redirected from other projects. There is no way to independently ascertain the truth or falsity of these allegations. Thus, l ani requesting that the Council perform an investigation of these issues as well. Third, as you may know, on .November 7, 2008, members of the Buffalo Police Department searched the home of Syaed All at his Breckenridge address. Pursuant to this search, a number of his belongings were confiscated. Subsequent to this search., Buffalo Police Officers questioned Mr. Ali regarding his connection local elected officials, including City of Buffalo Council Members. It has now been approxin - tately 16 %2 weeks and his property has not been returned, nor have any formal charges been filed against Mr. Ali. What is particularly troubling is the role of the .Buffalo Police Department in this matter. Under normal circumstances, the Chair of the Buffalo Police Oversight Committee would be charged with conducting just such an investigation. However, there has been no such hearing inasmuch as Mr. Davis is the Chair of the Committee and is apparently embroiled in his own issues which may or may not be the subject of a Buffalo Police investigation itself. As a result, the important work of the Common Council regarding serious issues has gone wanting. There is a distinct and palatable disdain and mistrust with open discussions of a coordinated cover -up of these issues. The Common Council is the only body with the ability to investigate these matters and I hereby request that the Common Council do so. In addition, I request that the Common Council remove Mr. Davis as the Chair of the Buffalo Police Oversight Committee given the obvious conflict of interest. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Very truly ..__.___ William F. Cc: City Clerk Common Council REFERRED TO THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT ®0©48 West Village Block Club 112 Prospect Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14201 Councilman Brian C. Davis Room 1.408, City Hall Buffalo, NY 1.4202 Dear Councilman Davis: March 2, 2009 C D10 C- > C This letter is to reiterate the concerns of the West Village Block Club community, which will be impacted by the reestablishment of a 20 plus bed rooming house at 83 Prospect Avenue. As you are aware, the history of this building has not been a good one for the West Village. A look at the police reports for this building over the years shows that it has been the source of innun police trouble calls. Neighbors can relate many tales of behavior that no community should have to endure. The actions of the present owner have done little to give encouragement to the community. Much of the work undertaken over the past year appears to have been done without permits, perhaps by unlicensed and unskilled persons. The owner has done work in contravention to historic district guidelines and has refused to respond to remedial instructions of the Buffalo Preservation Board. The community has been told or given to understand that the building will be apartments, then student housing, now a rooming house. The West Village is Buffalo's nearest to downtown residential neighborhood. As late as 1970 nearly every building was a rooming house and the neighborhood was in crisis. At this time two conflicting trends began acting on the area. Rooming houses began to be renovated into a mixture of apartment buildings and 1 and two family homes. At the same time changed state policies began to result in a flood of persons with serious social /emotional problems living in the remaining rooming house. The closing of 83 Prospect, the largest if these remaining rooming houses, has had a very significant impact on our regaining ownership of our neighborhood and improving our duality of life. We are asking you to help us continue to enjoy the duality of life that snakes the West Village a desirable inner city neighborhood for the diverse range of residents who live here and have made a commitment to urban living in the city of Buffalo. Please insure that we are informed of any meetings or actions with regard to this property. Yours truly O T V= COMMITTEE t James E. Can ti Chairman West Village Block Club 0004q Waterfront Viffige - Advisory Council % Len Cfaa6ot 6 Marfiour Pointe Buffafo, JVY 14202 May 22, 2008 Honorable Byron Brown Mayor City of Buffalo 201 City Hall Buffalo, NY 14202 Dear Mayor Brown: L . C 7 We are writing on behalf of residents at the Waterfront Village: to request the City update the existing Urban Renewal Plan, Waterfront Redevelopment Project prior to approving additional development within the Village. The Urban Renew Plan for the area was devised in 1963. Development has occurred sporadically throughout the ensuing decades, primarily in the 1980's, and mostly without adherence to the Plan. Nearly 1.00% of the remaining undesignated landmass in the Waterfront Village is currently under consideration for development. This amounts to nearly 20% of the total landmass in this established neighborhood. Encompassing 306 residential units with an assessed value in excess of $75,000,000, the Waterfront Village is widely regarded as one of the City's most desirable neighborhoods and s generally recognized as a success story. However, the multiple development projects currently under consideration have the potential to threaten the neighborhood as a desirable location to Ave and work. Individual development proposals could increase the number of residential units by as many as 182 units or 60% of the existing number of units and available commercial space by more than 230,000 square feet or 230% of the existing office space. The following proposals are currently under consideration or have received recent approval: ♦ Waterfront Place, Phase I - 64 residential units including 49 units in a high rise and 15 townhouses on Ojibwa. (Currently under construction) Waterfront Place, Phase I1 - 54 residential units including a second high rise and townhouses on Lakefront Blvd. (Option for approval) ♦ Nemo Development -- 30 residential units at the north end of Lakefront Blvd. (Currently approved by City Planning Board) ♦ 240 -260 Lakefront Blvd — Two residential developments are currently under consideration. Proposal 41 would construct 16 townhouse style units, Proposal #2 calls for construction of a 26 unit mid -rise tower and S townhouse style units. (Both proposals are currently under consideration for Designated Developer status.) ♦ 10 -15 LaRiviere Drive --- Two commercial developments are currently under consideration. Proposal #1 would construct a 230,000 square foot complex inclu&Ig Class A office space, retail, and a hotel. Proposal #2 would construct a hotel. (Both proposals are currently under consideration for Designated Developer status). ♦ Proposed improved public access to the Erie Basin Marina. While each of these projects has either been recently approved or is currently under consideration, it appears that each is being considered solely on its individual merits and without regard to the interrelationship of the projects to each other and to the entire Waterfront Village as an established community. Common elements, including greenspace and parking availability, have a significant effect on the character of the Waterfront Village. failure to consider these elements in the final phase of Waterfront Village development could significantly affect the character and assessed value of this neighborhood. On behalf of the residents of the Waterfront Village, we ask that the City not approve further development proposals until such time as the Waterfront Village Master Plan can be updated to insure completion of this neighborhood in a manner consistent with the City's economic development objectives, improved access for all to the waterfront, and maintained neighborhood value and character.

Lead Agency Coordination, Battaglia Transfer Station: 1037 -1055 S eneca Street, City of Buffalo, Erie County. Whereas: On February 19, 2009, the New York State Department of Environmental. Conservation's Division of Permits for Region Number 9 advised the City of Buffalo that it had received an application from Battaglia Demolition, Inc. to modify its Solid Waste Management Permit for the facility located at 1037 -1055 Seneca Street within the City of Buffalo; Whereas: The modification application involves a request to increase the facility's municipal solid waste; recyclable materials; yard waste and land clearing debris (in addition to construction and demolition debris) through the use of a 13,000 square foot building addition, installation of a second entrance to Peabody Street, and a change of operating hours, in addition to the potential of future rail transfer operations; Whereas: The applicant has falsely identified the only two City approvals needed for the project as being "Building; Pen approval" and "Road Cut approval" on Part 1 of its Long Environmental Assessment Form, without reference to the need for a Transfer Station License pursuant to Buffalo City Charter and Code §263 -27 (a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof), which requires a Transfer Station License to operate the above-described facility within the City of Buffalo; Whereas: Battaglia Demolition, Inc_'s intended use of the property clearly requires the concurrent approval of the Common Council of the City of Buffalo and the City of Buffalo Planning Board, pursuant to Buffalo City Charter and Code §263 -29; Whereas: The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has identified the proposal as an "Unlisted" Action and has elected to undertake a Coordinated Review of the action and has also advanced the position "that a `Positive Declaration', a Notice of Determination of Significance, and preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement is appropriate for the review of this proposal since significant adverse local impacts such as odors, noise and truck traffic may result from this proposal"; Whereas: The Common Council is particularly sensitive to the potential adverse local impacts of the proposal due to the tremendous public nuisance caused by the New York City garbage train in the Clinton/Bailey and surrounding neighborhood in 2003; and, WHEREAS.- Notwithstanding the protracted health risk to Buffalo residents in the impacted area, Battaglia Construction attempted to replicate this disaster by proposing to bring solid waste garbage to the Seneca Street sight, roughly a mile from the site of the original garbage train facility; anal, L� Whereas: While this Common Council agrees with the Department of Environmental Conservation's position that significant adverse local impacts may result from this proposal, necessitating a "Positive Declaration" and the preparation of a Draft. Environmental Impact Statement, the Common Council believes that the anticipated impacts of the action being considered are primarily of local significance, thereby necessitating that it be designated as the Lead Agency pursuant to 6 NYCRR 617(b)(5)(v)(a); Whereas: 6 NYCRR Part 617.6(b)(5)(i) provides a mechanism for an involved agency to request that the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation designate the appropriate Lead Agency for the project upon the criteria specified in 6 NYCRR Part 617.6(b)(5)(v); Now, 'Therefore, Be it Resolved: That the Common Council of the City of Buffalo formally objects to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Region 9 Division of Permits' request to act as Lead Agency in the above - referenced matter because the City, through the review of the Common Council and the Planning Board, will have the primary role in assessing the impact of the operations on the surrounding neighborhood and community, given the City's role in past concerns with the operation and the City's community assessment resources. Anti, Be It Further Resolved: That the Common Council formally requests that it be designated Lead Agency for the above- entitled action pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation by 6 NYCRR Part 617(b)(5)(i -vi); And, Be It Further Resolved: That Council Staff is hereby directed to mail copies of this Resolution by Certified Mail to: the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation; each involved agency, including the City of Buffalo Planning Board, the New York State Division of Environmental Conservation's Division of Environmental Permits, Region 9, and the City of Buffalo Department of Public Works; together with a cover letter to the Commissioner indicating the jurisdiction of each of the involved agencies over the action and the request of this Council that it be designated Lead Agency by the Commissioner.

Re: Oppose Sale of Wine in Supermarkets, G rocery Stores, Department Stores and Delis Whereas: New York State currently has 2,60 0 state regulated liquor stores which are prohibited from becoming a chain of more than one store; and Whereas: Liquor stores are also restricted by New York State from selling beer, cheese, crackers, chips, glassware, gift bags and other items commonly requested by customers. In fact, this past December, a Rochester area liquor store owner was fined $1 0,000 for selling; wine gift bags; and Whereas: New York State has a proposal to legalize the sale of wine in supermarkets, grocery stores, delis and department stores such as Walmart. If this becomes law, small businesses throughout the state may be put out of business- costing New York State thousands of valuable jobs at a time when we cannot afford any more sob losses; and Whereas: If wine sales are allowed in supermarkets, grocery stores, delis and department stores such as Walmart, it is estimated that over 1,000 small businesses will be forced to close, which translates into a loss of over 4,000 jobs. Many of these small businesses are located within the City of Buffalo; and Whereas: Supermarkets and grocery stores have a tremendous baying power advantage and would lure customers away from smaller liquor stores. Local wineries will also suffer as supermarkets and grocery stores will feature national brands of wine on their shelves; and Whereas: Since Prohibition, the New York State Liquor Authority has recognized that the best way to limit underage persons' access to alcohol was to group the sale of wine with liquor. Wine and liquor stores have greater control over who enters their stores, and who purchases alcohol; and Whereas: In June 2008, Massachusetts voters rejected a similar proposal because of the devastating impact it would have had on teenagers and underage drinking. In Florida, California and Texas, where wine is sold everywhere, the number of alcohol related fatalities per 100,000 is more than double that of New York State. In fact, no state has passed a similar measure since Iowa did in 1983; and Whereas: This proposal is only a quick fix to the state budget which will bring in an influx of Bash for two years as a result of the new licensing fees, but will cost the state more money in the long run due to unemployment, lost income tax and cnnptied retail space; and f �: Whereas: Law Enforcement Against Drunk Driving (LI?,ADD) and the New York State Professional :firefighters Association recently delivered a strong message against New York State's plan to legalize the sale of wine in grocery stores, supermarkets and other stores, stating that changing the laws will lead to an increase in drunk driving and underage drinking; Now"hherefore be it Resolved: -['hat the Common Council of the City of Buffalo goes on record against any changes proposed by New York State to sell wine in supermarkets, grocery stores, neighborhood delis and department stores; and lie it 1; urther Resolved: That the Common Council is also concerned about the implications of this proposal and believes it is in the best interests of the community to have public discussion on the issue and hear from area liquor store owners and wineries who may be negatively affected by such a change in .legislation at the next Common Council Legislation Committee Mecting scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, 2009, at 2:00 pin in Council Chanher s; and lie it Further Resolved: That the City Clerk sends certified copies or this resolution to New York State Governor David Patterson, to the New York State Senate, to the New York State Assembly, to members of the Western New York Legislative delegation, to the Brie County Legislature, to the Last Store on Main Street, to the New York State Liquor Store Association, to Law Enforcement Against Drunk Driving (L EADD), and to the New York State firefighters Association, and Be it Finally Resolved: ']'hat this item be sent to the Legislation Committee for further discussion.

Construction workers, property maintenance personnel and anyone working around buildings built before 1978 may also be at risk for lead exposure; and Whereas: The use of lead solder in plumbing was banned in New York State in 1986. The plumbing installed in homes constructed before 1986 continues to contaminate drinking water with lead from lead piping and lead solder; and Whereas: Since natural levels of lead in New York State water supplies are low, lead in drinking water usually results from the use of lead pipe in water systems or lead -based solder on water pipes; and Whereas: If lead gets into a child's body, it could cause brain damage, kidney damage, bearing loss, growth problems, anemia, or behavioral problems. Because their organs are growing and developing, infants and toddlers are most susceptible to the toxic effects of lead. Whereas: Health effects of lead poisoning include: Reduced IQ, Learning and Reading Disabilities, Juvenile Delinquency and Crime, Nervous Systern disorders, Reduced Height and Weight, Kidney and Gastrointestinal System Disease, Seizures, Coma and Death; and Whereas: Approximately tow thirds of prison inmates in New York show evidence of past exposure to lead, perhaps as children. bead poisoning is well known to affect IQ, which leads to social problems and decreased earning potential; and v Whereas: New York State is the 4` highest states with lead exposure. Now Therefore Be It Resolved: The City of Buffalo requests that Child Nutrition Act of 1966 be amended to allow United States Department of Agriculture to allow Bottled Water be an acceptable food item; and Be It Further Resolved That: A copy of this resolution be sent to Congress Members Brian Higgins, Louise Slaughter, and Senators Charles Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand.

A Bill has been introduced in the NYS Senate, #502021, and in the NYS Assembly, 4A05912- "An act to amend the tax law, in relation to enacting the fair share tax reform act of 2009 "; and Whereas: Given the current economic crisis in New York State and across the country, action must be taken to enact fair and equitable reforms to New York State's tax system; and Whereas: Over the last 30 years, New York State's personal income tax laws have become increasingly unfair and inequitable. New York State has cut its top personal income tax rate by more than 50% over the Iast 30 years; and Whereas: As a result, the poorest 20% of New Yorkers now pay 12.6% of their income in state and local taxes, middle class New Yorkers making between $27,000 and $44,000 a year pay 11.6 %, and the wealthiest 1 % pay only 6.5 %; and Whereas: The severe cut in taxes to the wealthy have led New York State to increasingly rely on other more regressive state and local fees and taxes, including sales and property taxes. With the current recession and fiscal crisis, New York's poor and working families are again faced with higher fees and taxes while suffering major cutbacks in education, health and public services; and Whereas: Instead of placing a burden on these families, the State should enact modest tax increases on incomes over $250,000; and Whereas: The Fair Share Tax Reform Act of 2009 is an effort to undue the regressive effects of the last 30 years of New York Tax policy. Its enactment would ensure all New Yorkers contribute their fair share and would restore some progressivity back to our personal income tax system; Now, Therefore be it Resolved: That the Common Council of the City of Buffalo goes on record in support of Senate Bill 4S02021 and Assembly Bill #A05912 - "An act to Amend the tax law, in relation to enacting the fair share tax reform act of 2009 "; and 0 Be it Further Resolved: �, A That the City Clerk be directed to forward certified codes of this home rule message to Governor David Patterson, to Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith, to the Secretary of the Senate, to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, to Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari, to the Clerk of the Assembly, and to members of the Western New York Legislative delegation.
