The purpose of the request is to help facilitate the construction of Kaleida's proposed Global Vascular Institute (GVI). The GVI is one aspect of Kaleida Health's Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus North End Project. The abandonment and sale of this stretch of Goodrich Avenue will allow the construction of the GVI adjacent to Buffalo General Hospital at Ellicott and High Streets. The GVI will be approximately 11 -12 stories in height and total approximately 500,000 square feet of floor area. The GVI is being developed in conjunction with the impending closure of Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital and will provide a state -of- the -art vascular center housing: - An Emergency Services and Chest Pain Center; Non- invasive Diagnostics, Imaging, Patient Services and Extended Recovery Services; Invasive Services, including Catheterization and Hybrid Labs, Critical Care Beds, Procedure Support and Physician Support Services; The University at Buffalo will also occupy a portion of the GVI and provide Transitional Research, Educational and Incubator Facilities. Kaleida Health has already prepared and the Planning Board has approved a Findings Statement, thereby concluding the State Environmental Quality Review Act process undertaken by the Planning Board regarding the entire project, which is briefly described below. Pursuant to SEQRA, the City of Buffalo Planning Board determined that the Action was a Type I Action and sought and received concurrence from other Involved A zt it and Interested Agencies to be the Lead Agency. Then, on September 23, 2008, the Planning Board determined that cumulatively, the Projects may have a significant impact upon the environment and issued a Positive Declaration, requiring the Project Sponsors to prepare a DGEIS in accordance with the Planning Board- approved Scope. The Project Sponsors prepared and submitted the DGEIS to the Planning Board for review. On October 7, 2008, the Planning Board found the DGEIS to be in compliance with 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b), and made a determination that it was adequate to begin public and agency review. The DGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The subsequent public comment period began on October 7, 2008 and concluded on November 18, 2008. A public hearing on the DGEIS was held at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library on November 6, 2008. Input from the public review process was received in the form of written comments to the Planning Board throughout the public comment period and as oral /written comments received during the public hearing. The Planning Board determined that all the comments should be addressed in the.form of a FGEIS. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b)(8), the Planning Board prepared the FGEIS. Creating the FGEIS required the Planning Board to review and consider all agency and public comments. The Planning Board determined that the FGEIS was complete on January 13, 2009. On January 15, the FGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The FGEIS addressed specific substantive comments raised during the public comment period and discusses mitigation measures which should be used to minimize potential negative impacts from the Projects to the maximum extent practicable. The Planning Board approved a Findings Statement concluding the Environmental Review on January 27, 2009 and now the Common Council may approve the present request for abandonment and sale of Goodrich Street in accordance with Article 27, Section 27 -4 of the City Charter (Sale of Abandoned Real Property). Attached as Exhibit "A" is the ALTA certified land survey and description of the portion of Goodrich Street to be abandoned. The Division of Real Estate has notified the Buffalo Sewer Authority, Fire Department, Police Department and the City Planning Board and there were no objections to the proposed abandonment. The Department of Public Works, Parks & Streets was also contacted and they have provided attached Exhibit "B ", conditionslrecommendations regarding the abandonment and sale of this portion of Goodrich. In accordance with Article 27, Section 27 -5 of the City of Buffalo Charter (Sale by Appraisal) Kaleida Health has commissioned Howard P. Schultz, Appraiser, to estimate the fair market value of the property. Mr. Schultz has estimated the value of the property to be One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000.00). 2 The real estate appraisal was submitted to the City of Buffalo Appraisal Review Board for review and they concur with the value established by the Appraiser. am recommending that Your Honorable Body approve the sale of Goodrich in the amount of One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000.00), upon the recommendations {conditions of the Department of Public Works, Parks & Streets. I am further recommending that should Your Honorable Body approve the abandonment and sale, that the Corporation Counsel be authorized to prepare the necessary agreements for the sale and transfer of the property to forward to Your Honorable Body for final approval.

CITY ENGINE R Re: Abandonment and Sale portion of Goodrich between Ellicott and Michigan This is in response to your letter dated December 12, 2008, The Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets, in general, is in agreement with the request from sponsors of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus -North End development projects regarding the abandonment of the ROW and permanently closing the traffic on Goodrich Street from Ellicott Street To Michigan Avenue. Also, DPW is in agreement with the request for all the Air Rights for the construction of the new walkways above Ellicott Street and Goodrich Street except the proposed walkway above Ellicott Street and crossing diagonally over high Street. Also, the proposed plan by BNMC is to construct a new building; with foot print on Goodrich Street, there are several existing underground utilities and associated infrastructure in Goodrich Street, including Waterline, Sewer, Gas & others private utilities that need to be relocated /considered. Also, the abandonment and sale of this portion of Goodrich Street may have potential adverse impacts on the following items: • City's franchise agreements: which allows placement of the private utilities facilities within City's Right- of-way and may have to be listed as a condition in the ownership transfer agreement. Emergency Services: medical, police and fire responses to the medical facilities, residential and commercial facilities within local conununity. • All the proposed site plans & walkways plans above Ellicott Street and Goodrich Street need to be approved by DPW before construction can start. 65 NIAGARA SQUARE/ 502 CITY I TAIL / BUFFALO, NY 14702 -3373 / (716)851-563G/ FAX: (716) 851 -4201 / Email: sste0niak @city- buCfato com Following; are some of the existing utilities within Goodrich Street ROW: There is an existing 8" water main in Goodrich connecting to 16" water mains on Ellicott Street and on Elm Street. This 8" water main has numerous large supplies to various hospital buildings and also supports 3 fire hydrants in the block. A building structure can be built over the water main if casing; and carrier pipe is installed over the water main. To simply cut and plug; the pipe from the building foundation area would result in a one way feed from Elm Street, and significantly impose operational restrictions on the hospital facilities in case of any maintenance or repairs required on the Elm Street 16" water main. Two ways feed is critical! • There is an existing 12" sanitary sewer and an 18" storm sewer that serves all the buildings, Goodrich Street between Ellicott Street and Michigan Avenue and connects to the 21" combined sewer at Ellicott Street. The sponsors should consult this and get approval from Buffalo Sewer Authority directly. • There is 4" National Fuel gas line and possible other private utility facilities in Goodrich Street. The sponsors should contact the private utility companies directly. If you have any question please contact me at 851 -5631.

In September 2008 the Fire Department contacted my office and asked if they could utilize the existing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) revenue account for the Rural Metro Franchise Fee to deposit any fees received for training both City Fire personnel and persons outside the department. The EMS account was set up specifically to account for the Rural Metro Agreement. At the time the account was established we were told by the attorney for the City's Emergency Services Board that as a percent of the funds received from Rural Metro consists of Medicaid payments, the City can only use these funds for emergency medical services. Therefore, we set up a new function for EMS to track the use of the franchise fee received from Rural Metro. This function cannot be supplemented with other revenues or we will lose the ability to report on the expenditures related to the franchise agreement. On October 1, 2008, my office referred the Fire Department to the Budget Office to determine the appropriate existing general fund function to use to record these fees and related costs, and also determine if new accounts were needed or if this could be recorded in existing accounts and tracked by use of a project identification number. My office will work with both the Fire Department and the Budget Office to determine which, if any, new accounts need to be established in the general fund to account for this new service provided by the Fire Department.

This report is intended to xplam snow fighting operatioiris during and immediately after a major winter storm such its the one experienced by the City of Buffalo during the time period stated earlier. It is also intended to highlight problems encountered in this storm as well as those encountered in - oast storrns. The City of Buffalo Streets Division is comprised of 5$ snowplow: d6vers consisting of heavy equipment operators, equipment operators and truer drivers. There are also 28 laborers, four dispatchers, seven supervisors of street sanitation, and one superintendent of strect sanitation_ This personnel is spread over three shifts as follows: First shift (7am — 3prn) has 30 active plow drivers (and one on workers comp), 15 laborers and five supervisors. '-eco d shift (3pm ---1 1pin) has eight plow strivers, seven lafiorers and one, supervisor. Third shitt (1 1pm — 7ani) has 113 active plow drivers (and one on workers comp), six laborers and one supervisor. `rhe four dispatchers cover slightly overlapping shifts covering 24 hours a day. The superintendent works primarily first shift but overlaps thirst and second shifts slightly, as w €,ll as being on null to coordinate efforts around the clock as needed. Currently, the Streets .division has 64 pieees of snow fighting equipment at its disposal. 01' that number, nine are wing plows with salt spreaders, 15 are hi-lif:s, 36 are single Made plovis with salt sprcaders and FOUr are trucks that can be mounit:d w si)ow plows ondyo It must be understood that under almost any circumstances it is nearly impossible to ptit more than. 35 to 40 pieces of equipment on the street at any given time because of plow or - plow blade repair, normial breakdowns, and other maintenance. During the autmmi and winter seasons, the C ;it of buffalo is broken up into five snow fighting districts (see rnaps), with each distrust being further broken up into various numbers ofplow runs (the number of rums depends on the district and its natural break points). They are as follows (generally speaking): District 10 -- upper and lower west side, waterfront village, and the down - ttown area west of Main street. Distriet ,12 __. riverside, black rock, and north Buffalo District 14 -- downtown area east of Main Street, near cast side and university area District 15 --- outer east side, lovcjoy, kaisertown District 16 -- south -cast side, old first ward, south Buffalo These districts differ greatly from trash collection and street sweeping operations conducted during spring and sw nmer,'which are based on common council districts, with crews moving across the city from one district to the next, in force. It must be understood that ender heavy weather conditions, crews may bo required to continuously work main and secondary roads at th, expense of plowing residential streets. This may result in extended periods of inactivity on residential streets depending i � on the intensity and duration of a storm systorn. That standard operating proceedurc is �°��OSIstent �r� ith those of'o her ri jor smm�i figllting rn�anrclpalrtres acs Toss the cblrntry. _ t is aiso irnportarrt to understand tiaat each storm has rrrar�,� u��riahlr s to factor into hnw it is foarglit. Timing, intensity, duration, snow quantity, air and ground ternperature, moisture cxontent ratio, wind direction, vAnd speed, lake effect/enhancengent and visibility arc just sore of the factors that must be considered when determinh g what to do, �rhen to do it, and, how best to do it. On first shift, each district is under the direction, of supervisor. The district supervisors are brought in earlier or and kept later in order to continue directing crews assigned to their respoctive dista °icts as needed. wring heavy weather periods, supervisors direct their crews t€a clear main, secondary, and residential streets as dictated by weather conditions and other factors previously stated. first shift crews are the primary farces by which residential streets are cleared of snow and ice. However, these crews are also tasked with maintaining main and secondary streets as needed in ordar to keep'traffrc moving safely as possible. `flay second drift is under the direction of ono supervisor imless conditions dictate oibcrwise, at which,point adjustments are made to tho level of supervision needed.. During tranquil periods this shift is used for trash complaint-, and for stand -by. Diving periods of light weather conditions they .are used to hold open main and secondary roads through rush hour traffic and until feinforcements are brought in. They are used to supplement work done by the first shift by plowing residential plow runs whenever possible, as assigned by the Superintendent (after consultation with district supervisors). The third shift: is'under the direction of one supervisor unless conditions'dictate otherwise;, at which point adjustments are mado to tho level of supervision needed. During tranquil periods this shift is used for stand -by and also to supplernent work done by the otf err two shifts in residential areas as assigned by the Supefinfenderrt (after consultation with district super'visors). During periods of light to heavy vreatber conditions they are used to hold open main and secondary roads to ensure morning rush. hoirr traffic moves in a relatively unimpeded manner, pursuant to weather conditioins. There goal is to o p e n rnaira acrd secondary streets curb to curb if possibly in order to e irninate choke points and provide for daytirrre parking on those strccls SNOW EVENT 1 21191 08 THROUGH 121 22108 The weather event began} on Friday rnorning 12/19/08. Weather conditions intensified tbrough the morning and into the afternoon. By the end of the heaviest accumulation on the first day of snow (late afternoon/ early evening) the City received 10.2 inches of snow (as reported at the Buffalo Airport). This -,vas a general snowfall attributed to a storm front that moved in from the i-nid-rarest. It blanketed tho entire region. Most of the, day was spent holding main and secondary sects open for traffic. Periodically, crews attempted to plow and salt residential streets, but event - rally were recalled to the mains to prepare there for rush hour traffic. Effirt a centered on primary streets leading into and out of the down town area and the City in general as well as other major bus routes. As soon as the snow abated and the main and secondary streets were passable; but not curbed (late evening boars), residential plow mans were started where possible persuent to :parking and accessibility. These efforts centered on residential streets with one side parking only (alternate parking type 1's - 4 to 4's and 6 to 6's). Type 11 alternate parking streets (9 to 4s), constituting approximately 35% of thy; residential streets, were not accessible, therefore area's will, the heaviest concentrations of 'type sheets were given less equipment so as to reinforce area's of the city that were more readily accessable. During the. overnight hours, third shift supervision was directed to shift its efforts back to main and secondary streets to finish therm ourb to ccatb. The rationale for this is to prepare then to handle daytime traffic and parking without any choke points or traffic irnpedirrrerris (as stated earlier). This effort was not entirely successful due to excessive illegal parking on main strre cts, which slowed and unduly hampered third shift operations. Third shift supervision and Personnel have reported that illegal parking on city bus routes i 4� is a coast -ant probb�rrie City parking ordinance states that parking is prohibited on all cite bus routes from 1:30 am to 7 ana from November 15' to April I". Yet this restriction is not apgre sively enfor due, to a. ��� � Df a Vnird shift i the, parking ertfor�;ei"ilent division, People parking with near impunity on main roads created an unnecessa obstacle for the Sheets Division to overcome. This issue, caririot be resolved by just working an overnight parking enforcement crew during weather events only. Aggressive enforcement of parking restrictions on main streets must begin and continue throughout the restriction period for it to be effective. Saturday 12/20/03 wcathei° conditions improved to the point that all streets supervisors wee directed to send there crews into residential plow mans. All streets with one side open (4 to 4's and b to 6's) vicre- to be cut from the center to the open curb. All streets with parking on bath sides (all 9 to 4's) were to have a center cut made so that traffic could move and eincrgency vehicles would have unimpeded access. This process con't -hued :for all three shifts. By Sunday morning (1212) 1{ 9) approximately 85% to 90% of city streets had at least a ceiaer cant made on them. Trouble streets such as island streets, dead end streets and alley ways presented the bulk of the problems as did blocked streets. They made up the largest= percentage of uncleared streets at that time. However, weather conditions deteriorated throughout the clay, A second wave of the storm front moved in and was enhanced by la u offlou snow w ich hit and centered on northern Erie County (incl Met BuMolo ) 'before slowly moving south. High winds and heavy snow resulted in sustained whil:c out conditions and zero visibility throughout t:he entire clay and into the overnight hours, before finally cleating out of the City at appi•oximate;ly 2:34am Monday. Mowing and di.ifting snow exacerbated the problems faced by city show fighting crews. Decisions were made to pull crews out of residential streets in order to hold opera main streets to erasure public safety and to ciisurc the safe operation of plows under cxtremcly difficult conditions. The heaviest intensity of the storm centered over the northern 2/3's of the city for the longest duration. The intensity and wired drivers blizzard conditions vei wally wiped out any evidence of the prior d .ays work, which is not unusual for a storm of heavy t; intensity and duxation or a storm packing a doublW punch w, this ore did. Once again, w /ernight cr -ews - wen- instructed to clear rains and secondaries in properation for Monday morning traffic. Once again that was accomplished with mixed success due to illegal parking. Dispite that fact, all supervisors and their crews were immediately seat into residential runs where they romained in force throll -pout the rejrnaindf r of the event. It must be understood that parking changes took place in various arcs at 4pm Sunday, gam Mon -day, 6pn i Monday, 4pm Wednesday (Chri simas Eve), 9am Thursday (Christnaas day), and 6pm Thursday (Christmas day). ft mAust also be noted that the parking cheangos that occured can Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning gave us access to that opens side of the street for the first time since tine start of the weather event. In the case of the Type 11`s (9 to 4s) that were;, supposed to switched Thursday morning, those streets rernained blocked because parking restrictions were rely -ced - for Christmas slay. Our first true opportunity to plow the opposite rides of those streets was on Friday begirmirig at gam (one fall week after the beginning of the storm). Making matters worse, many areas continued to be inaccessable because of illegal parking. It was estimated tbat.more tharr 1000 cars were illegally parked on the City's west side alone (sec pictures) throughout the slay on Friday, which was our only clay to plow that side of $he Type 11's (9 to 4's) before the wpeken d. It must be stated that Streets Division keadership was infornned by parking enforcement that parking enforcement offficers £and privately contracted tow trucks were being made available; for tagging and for mini-tow operations. This effort proved ineffeetivo as tow trucks responded poorly to requests for assistance by streets division supervisors. Parking enforcement officers did their best to assist: by aggressively tagging illegally parked cars in residential streets, but what was nce ded were an acdaquate nuirnber of tow trucks working at the disposal of streets district supervisors and their crews. On Wednesday (Christmas E ve) at 4pm, a parking change took place opening up the f. opposite sides of 'a "ype l streets (those with 4 to 4 designations). Streets Division manpower was at its lowest point of tide weather event period dire to the family nature o f the holiday, At that tunic temperatures were rising and a rneltdown etas in sign icant progress. Dispite that fact, it was determined that private contractors should be brought in to continue clean -up operations. Six private operators arrived at the Broadway Depot to operate City equipment. This effort was of marginal value at best. Streets Division supervision had to live a "crash course" iii the operation of city equipment (iii -lifts with plows and buckets). Contractors were unfamiliar with the areas of operation, and the nature of the duties at hand. Of the six city hi- lifts that were taken. out, three returned with unreported damage to blades and buckets that resulted in their not being available for use until repaired.aftor° Christmas day. In addition, hi -lifts that - went out with biuckets worked without trucks. They simply thumped snow (ex. west side of Humboldt Pkwy.) over the curb line onto private; property (sidewalks and front lawns) in piles six feet high and higher. They also blocked corner crossing points in such a way that Streets Division cr.-ws had to be sent to clear up the mess left behind. PR OBL One source of concerti for Streets Division supervision that must be discussed is the early requests during snow events to respond to complaint calls. Streets supervision assigns personnel and equipment to work in a planned, methodical manner so that they can better doirect, monitor and coordinate efforts in their respective districts. They attempt to assign their equipment where it can be best utilized at that padicular time." It must be understood that when plowing districts and the individual i°iins within a district, plows must start ,somewbere and finish somewhere. Someone has to be first and someone has to be last. In wiany cases, residential streets icannot be accessed immediatly after it steps snowing. As discussed, priorities inust exist defending on weather conditions and publie safety. Chasing complaints for streets unplowed that corne in shortly after a significant snow event only leads to confusion, missed streets because of patterns being broken (particularly in more difficult areas of operation), and a significant slowing down of the niain process of clearing streets of snow and ice. Attempting to chase the V 1 raarrerrc r of 311 cornpiairts recieved during this snow event was an almost iirsrarrrrocantab le burden to o ven oRae, particularly when most were unfounded slue to the process by wl�icl} une, i1iee i..S.L.tder 11heso wcaffier conditions. Another issue, as statc;d earlier, :is the need for aggressive parking enforcement on both main streets and residential struts. his should not be viewed as anything more thard attempt to have a positive effect on snow fighting efforts in order to facilitatc movement of traffic: and ensur,, that ernergency vehicles have unempeeded access to roadways. Parking enforcement is a tool to be used in conditioning people to adhere to regulations that are desigRed to enhance pu'olic; safety. This roust be complimented by the establish.-men'. of more effective; tow truck operator contracts for mini -tow operations. The combination of these two support functions will greatly help to facilitate snow faghtLng operations. One of the biggest problems faced while clearing streets daring snow fighting operations is the fact that 30% to 35% of the City of Buffalo is inaaccessable to effective snow " plowing for extended periods, including weekday overnight horns from 4prrr through gam the next morning and for the entire weekend after 4pm on Fridays (Type II parking streets). This has been a corastarrt source of complaints, concerns, and frustration for many previous admix lsinitions, and previous Streets Division leadership and personnel. One possible solution is to implear>ent a two - pronged modification to this type ofparking restriction.. A pilot program in a specified area of the City's west side can be initiated, extending parking restrictions through the weekends where possible to include Saturday and Sunday restrictions (no parking 9arn to 4-pro). Can streets where this may be inappropriate (ex, Ashland, Norwood and Saint James), an every clay changeover from one side to the other might bo ini - titiated using the 9am to 4pm restriction (ex. Bro6dway Market virea). Taking these ac;tior?s would eliminate large periods of inaccessability and help to avoid the scenario faced with the last stone, where the opposite sides of Type 11 streets forced plow operators to wait a weep before those streets were acct ssable for plowing, at which time they were plowing rock haxd ice. �r Another issue of some. copeer- to Streets Division super- vision is the level of personnel assigned to the division. Currently, the division is budgeted for 65 plow operators (heavy equipai en! oporators, equipment opt;vaiors, and truck drivers). However, the curr - Iln staffing level stands at 58 plow operators, seven under budget. In addition, supervision recommendations for staffing call for 75 plow operators. "Phis level of staffing would greatly enhance the City's ability to provides effective snow fighting capabilities under heavy weather conditions. it world allow for extra equipment to be assigned to districts to handle respective trouble; areas in a more timely fashion, thereby preempting a significant number of complai nt calls. As stated eai ier, the Streets Division has 64 pieces of snow fighting equipment at its disposal. Of that number, nine are wing, Blows with salt sprea.dc,rs, 15 are hi -lifts a nd 36 are single blade plows with salt spreaders and four are plows only. The two types of equipment critical to the timely clearing of city streets are the wire plows and hi- lifts. The wing plo ws are force multipliers in that one vehicle can cut a wider plow track, thus allowi ng for fewrcr passes to be madle on a street, resulting in streets being cleared in a mere timely fashion. They are most effective on mains and on two-way residential streets, particularly on Type I streets where one side of the street is theoretically always open. They are less effective on one-way streets and "Type It's where par36rrag can be a signiff oalit issue, thus the need for a mix of wing plows and strait plows in a City like Buffalo. Streets Division supervision recommends at least 15 wing plovers be included in its Plect of Vehicles which would aillow 1U1' at least one in each district and even IX3()re if they remain tip and running. Ili -lifts are the guintisential trouble shooting; vehicle of the fleet. They are the most versital and most manuverable piece of equipment at our disposal. Besides the fact that they can be used 24 hours a clay, seven days a wrck, and 365 days a year, they are the most effective plow for acres sing; narrow street, dead ends, and island streets. In addition, they can perform any of the other plowing operation necessary. They can access strec;ts iiiaccessable to other plows because operators can raise their blades if confronted with obsticles. They can also be mounted with snow blowers for more: . 11 I', 4 t 1`fi` LA extreme; situations. They do lack the capability to spread salt so they are best used in conjunction with salt spreaders as a complitmentary piece of'equiprnent. One area of interest that may be of °some; assistance with command and control functions, thereby enhancing response threes and helping better coordinate efforts would be thf.; introduction of a functional CI'S traci�ing system. � properly tailored system Could possibly allow For better allocation of plowing and salting resources, especially when used in conjunction with an experienced, boots on the ground supervisory staff properly tailored GIBS system could also help to determin if some complaints are of a legitimate nature or riot, by rrac ing if a vehicle previously sci°viced a complaint street or not. It can also help in the transfer of information from shift to shift so follow up chews are better aware of areas in need of service. In addition, it can help to determin if smaller, out of thy; way, more obscure streets have been serviced or if the were inadvertantly missed. CONCLUSION In all, it must be said that the perk }rmance of Streets Division supervision and plow operators under adverse conditions should be complimented. Dispite many obsticles with regards to weather conditions, storDa timing, storm duration, illegal parking, staffing levels and many other factors, they performed to the best of them abilities to help ensure public sa.fe;tye "he decisions made with regards to prioritising main and secondary streets under the prevailing weather conditions was strategically and tactically the correct decisions at the tunes that they were roade (Friday and Sunday). It is important to understand that the problems encountered in fighting a storm of this nature with this tinning presents no easy solutions. Withbut niodifications to parldng e nforcelnent, parking restrictions, staffing levels, equipment levels and technological improvements such as GIIS tracking the City will ultimately be faced with a very similar outcome with any storm of similar timing and intensity. 000A SdNGi E— PAGE TO H COiVINION GOUNCiL l TO.

The Commerce Park is an industrial park currently being developed by .BUDC and the Erie County Industrial Development Agency (ECIDA). At the meeting, representatives from NYSDEC, Erie M W _ County, BUDC, the City of Buffalo, and the design consultants will discuss restoration, development and design activities conducted to date, as well as future plans for the Park Site. The representatives will he available to answer questions frorn the public. The draft design documents for the proposed Park Site will be available for your review at the locations listed at the end of this fact sheet, as well as the DEC websitc. The final design is expected to be completed by Spring 2009. Environmental restoration work at the Park Site will be performed under the Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) authorized by New York State's 1996 Clean Water /Clean Air Bond Act. The ERP provides financial assistance to local governments for the cleanup of Brownfield sites. A brownfield is currently unused or under -used property that may have been used for industrial purposes in the past and no longer contributes to the tax base of a municipality. Brownfields may be, but are not necessarily, environmentally contaminated. Park design aspects of the project are being partially funded by the federal government's Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) that is managed through the NYSDOT. The County of Erie is providing the local snatching funds required by the NYS ERP and federal TEP programs. This fact sheet is being provided to explain previous and proposed activities at the Park Site and to provide ways you may obtain more information regarding the project. PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING A public meeting will be held from 6:00 — 9:00 PM on February 17, 2009 at Valley Community Center, where the Project Team will discuss restoration/park development and design activities conducted to elate and future plans for the Park Site. They will be available to answer questions from the public. The format for the meeting will consist of an open house from 6:00 — 7:00 PM. Formal presentations will begin at 7:00 PM, followed by a question and answer period. WHO SHOULD I CALL IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SITE?

I count on the city of Buffalo to provide at least a ten year real estate tax exemption for the business to operate and provide new jobs for the area people. 1606 Kenmore Avenue is a new state of the art veterinary medicine and surgical facility. This construction is done in what is believed to be the economic zone of Buffalo. To my surprise, I learned from Maria Garozzo -Payne of the Department of Taxation in the Department of Taxation and Assesments the Elmwood and Kenmore Avenues area are not included in the economic empire zone. improvement of the business in this area are not allowed to get any help from the city. This new facility as it grows will employ over 25 -30 new personnel. Therefore, this will help to generate new employment opportunities and increase the tax base. I have invested time, money, and effort to remain in Buffalo to make this happen. I have invested over 2 million dollars in loans and equipment for this state of the art brand new structure. I look forward to your help in upgrading both 1606 Kenmore Avenue and 2235 Elmwood Avenue to the economic empire zone. I am planning to meet with Mayor Brown concerning this matter as well. If I need to provide any more information, please feel free to call me at 716 - 876 -6023. Sincerely, Ganon Harish D.V.M. MVSc,CVCP REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION & COMMISSIONER OF ASSESMENT & BIRC r 00028 4 4 Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy Contract Extension Position Paper 2/9/2009 Thomas Herrera- Mishler On July 1, 2004, the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy signed a 15 year contract with Erie County to manage operations for the historic Olmsted Park System, owned by the City of Buffalo` Chris Collins, Erie County Executive sent a letter to the City of Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown opting out of the agreement in one years time on June 13, 2008. The County's recently released '09 budget includes funding for BOPC only through the end of June, 2009. This situation has put in doubt the ability of the BOPC to continue managing the Olmsted parks after July 1, 2009. The Olmsted system., representing approximately 1200 -acres includes 6 major parks, 7 parkways, S traffic circles and a range of smaller parks and associated green spaces. At the time of the signing the parks were in mediocre condition due to years of deferred and substandard maintenance. Over the course of the contract, the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy has been universally praised for the dramatic improvement in basic park conditions throughout the Olmsted system. The contract provides funds to the Conservancy to offset some of the cost of maintenance operations. The Conservancy retains most of the earned income from the park operations and raises the remaining funds to manage the parks from several contributed sources such as: membership campaigns, special fundraising events, corporate and foundation solicitations These necessary increased levels of maintenance have been accomplished despite significant limitations, including the fact that the yearlong (unplanned) clean -up and rebuilding of the parks after the October 2006 storm. The parks agreement contract called for the County to provide trucks and equipment which were never secured. The result: Conservancy staff has had to scramble to meet increased maintenance expectations with insufficient vehicles and outdated equipment prone to breakdowns. Further, the cash support provided by the contract is insufficient to fully staff the operations team. There are 60 maintenance zones established for the Olmsted Parks and Parkways. Current funding only allows for the Conservancy to hire about 40 zone gardeners. Another factor that at times has limited the Conservancy's effectiveness is the lack of clarity over which partner is responsible for certain repairs and necessary improvements. The Conservancy has responsibility for maintenance and repair of the historic park buildings and facilities. The City and/or the County have responsibility for major repairs. They have consistently had difficulty determining which governmental agency had responsibility and the Iiability for major repairs and what constituted a major repair. Very often a lack of maintenance when an issue first surfaced has led to major and expensive failures in the historic park buildings. The City and County's continuing financial limitations have exacerbated this issue and the Conservancy has recently stepped in with additional private resources to accomplish urgent repairs on such facilities as the Marcy Casino and the Rose Garden Pergola in Delaware Park, the Cazenovia Casino, and the Martin Luther King, f r. Park Shelter House restrooms. To date over $22.5 million in capital investments for the park system has been secured. There are $9.5 million in capital funds committed for 2009. Projects include: • Planting over 2200 trees and shrubs in the entire Olmsted System • Phase One restoration of the Parkside Lodge • Rebuilt pathways in Delaware Park • Annual fundraising events drawing new park users annually • More than 1000 volunteers supporting Conservancy efforts annually • Landscape beautification projects in each of the parks • Rebuilding of Olmsted Circles • A state -of-the -art tree inventory completed in 2000 and updated. in 2003 • Discussion with the state DOT on the reduction of vehicular traffic along the Scajaquada Expressway and restoration of a parkway • Restoration of the Front Park Terrace. Leadership role in the Peace Bridge Expansion project process in an effort to protect Front Park. • Collaborations with cultural organizations located in the Olmsted System. • Establishment of Olmsted ReLeaf to raise funds for clean -up and reforestation after the October storm. • Restoration of the MLK Park Wading Pool • Fillmore Ave Revitalization • MLK Park Shelter House restoration • Seneca Streetscape improvement project • Larkin Circle and Soldier's Circle plans • Marcy Casino Restoration projects While the Conservancy has made significant investments in the facilities and grounds throughout the Olmsted park system, one of the most important actions to date is the completion of a long -range restoration plan for the entire system. This "Plan for the 21st Century" is the culmination of a five -year planning study undertaken by the Conservancy, the University of Buffalo Urban Design Project with the input of Olmsted park users and the Olmsted Advisory Council (comprised of 50 stakeholder organizations), guided by the Conservancy's Long Range planning committee. This state -of -the art plan calls for a strategic re- investment in the parks and parkways, restoring key missing historic elements and reconnecting the entire system through parkway extensions and restoration. Ideally the contract period should coincide with the 20 year framework of the Plan in order to coincide with an aggressive and strategic fundraising effort. Nationally, most cities annually invest on average approximately $80 per resident in their park's systems. Buffalo's recent financial difficulties and shrinking tax base has lowered this amount to less than $10 per resident. The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy has secured private donations of cash and in -kind services that increase that investment in our park resources three fo ld. While still nowhere near the national average, the parks and parkways are beginning to show vast improvements in the level of care and maintenance. General awareness of the unique qualities and historic significance of the Olmsted System in Buffalo has increased over the past decade. Many recognize the importance of this community and regional asset. In fact, almost half (47 %) of the park users come from outside of the City of Buffalo. If well maintained and operated, the parks and parkway system represents a significant cultural asset that can serve as a draw for tourism and new residents while enhancing the quality of life of the existing population. The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, a 5016, not- for - profit, membership based organization has a proven track record of success. We have a talented and well- regarded professional staff with many years of accumulated park management experience and a deep knowledge of the Olmsted legacy. The Conservancy is backed by a dedicated and generous volunteer Board of Trustees, all of whom contribute generously to the annual operations and capital . improvement projects in the parks. The Conservancy has attracted an army of over 1000volunteers annually who donate many hours each year to assist with plantings, maintenance, administration, events and fund- raising. The alternative to extending the contract with the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy would require the re- establishment of a city parks maintenance operation that is not able to secure the donations and in -kind services that stretch limited funds by a factor of three. The City of Buffalo and Erie County are at the leading edge of a national municipal trend of outsourcing. The ground breaking contract with the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy is a model for other municipalities across the nation looking for ways to establish an effective public /private partnership. A prompt renegotiation for the extension of the operations and management contract with the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy is essential to the continued success of the partnership and of the Olmsted Parks System. Private donors must be assured that the funds they provide will be utilized for the purpose intended. There must be no question about the continued commitment to the Olmsted parks and parkways going forward. With the 20 -year time frame for the long -range plan and the concerted effort which will be required to secure the significant private and public investment in the parks, the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy requests discussion begin immediately for a 20 -year extension of our contract as soon as possible. Specific Comments with regard to the existing contract: Section 2 Term - according to Section 2 of the Conservancy's contract with Eire County: (a) Subject to termination pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2, this Agreement shall remain in effect for five (5) years renewable by the Conservancy at the Conservancy's discretion for each of two (2) consecutive five (5) year terms. 5 year terni is too short. We need 20 years or tnore in order to secure the capital funds envisioned in the Plan for the 215 Century. Recommend that this be changed to read "two (2) consecutive ten (10) year terms." (b) Upon at least one year's written notice, either party may terminate this Agreement without cause effective at the end of any fiscal year after the first five (5) year term.. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause only for failure to remedy a material breach within a reasonable time after written receipt of notice of such breach and only upon at least 30 days written notice of termination. By mutual agreement, the parties may terminate this Agreement at any time. This leaves the Conservancy vulnerable as zve move to a year to year agreement! Recommend that the first sentence of this paragraph be eliminated. (c) Upon termination of the Inter- Municipal Agreement, this Agreement shall be assigned by the County to the City. Section 5 Management, Maintenance and Repair of Certain Facilities. Building repair and replacement has been an issue of some contention. According to Section 5 of the Contract while the Conservancy clearly has the responsibility for management, maintenance and repair of most park facilities, major repairs are assigned to the City and /or County. The contract lists these specific structures and then states: f (b) Regarding the above mentioned structures, the County and /or (emphasis added) the City of Buffalo will be responsible for, or will coordinate, all structural, mechanical and major repairs that involve structural damage or improvements, and any major utility work (major electrical, water, sewer, gas, fiber optics, phone, etc.) as provided for in the Inter- Municipal Agreement. This lack of specificity with regard to which entity is responsible for these repairs has led to slow response or inaction in the case of some necessary repairs. The Conservancy has recently assumed greater responsibility for facility repairs, but must secure greater resources and qualified staff to address significant deferred maintenance issues throughout the parks. The Plan for the 21st Century calls for the eventual relocation of some non - contributing facilities to locations outside of the historic park landscape. The Conservancy is committed to helping the City of Buffalo rebuild these facilities as they reach the end of their useful lives in locations that meet community needs and further reinvestment and revitalization of the neighborhood. Recommend that the following be added to this paragraph: Long -term deferred maintenance of the facilities shall be identified in a Parks Inspection Program Manual as defined in Section 26 Maintenance and Repair Standards. The City of Buffalo shall provide funding to the Conservancy to address these base line repairs, subject to budgetary limitations. The Conservancy will make good faith efforts to raise additional funds for capital repairs. A reserve for replacement of outmoded facilities estimated at approximately $2 million per year shall be established by the City of Buffalo. The Conservancy and the City of Buffalo shall work together with the community to define which facilities have reached the end of their useful life. The Conservancy will assist in identifying acceptable new locations, and aid in securing capital funds for these projects. Section 16 Revenue Sharing. The conservancy retains all revenues from golf, permits and concessions up to $370,000. Any amount above that shall be split 70% to the Conservancy and 30% to the County. I recommend that this be changed to allow the Conservancy to keep all revenues generated as an 'incentive to maximize earned income and provide us with additional funds to operate the parks. Therefore we recommend elimination of Paragraph (b). Section 17 Equipment This has been an area of considerable hardship for the Conservancy. According to the contract: Section 17, paragraph (c) In cooperation with the Conservancy, the County will assign to the Conservancy equipment for use in the Olmsted Parks and Parkways including a minimum of 14 pick up trucks and 14 utility vehicles "gators" as well as the equipment listed in a schedule which shall be appended hereto upon finalization. So far the County has assigned a total of 12 trucks throughout the course of the contract, not at one time and of which only b are currently operational. (one needs urgent replacement). No "gator's" were ever provided. The Conservancy has purchased 5 vehicles in order to help make up the shortfall. But we are still five vehicles short, 1 ton dump trucks in particular. The 14 utility "gator" vehicles are also urgently needed throughout the system. We urge the County /City to provide these vehicles immediately upon amendment of the contract.

Please add the JBW Committee to the Council agenda. Dorothy Hill JOHNNIE B. WILEY AMATEUR ATHLETIC SPORTS PAVILION COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION COMMITTEE The Johnnie B. 'Ailey Amateur Athletic Sports Pavilion Community Participation Committee is an organization of concerned citizens committed to support the operation and development of the amateur athletic sports pavilion in a sustainable way to serve the best interests of youth and community, The committee is composed of citizens from diverse backgrounds seeking to address current needs of the facility and its organizational operations, as well as maximize the capacity of the facility and organization to operate both as a center of excellence for youth development and as a community development asset. The Johnnie B. Wiley Sports Pavilion is a multifaceted facility for sports, (football, baseball, track) and community /civic events. It has seem significant use by community based youth sports leagues, Buffalo Public Schools, ]with based groups, community organizations and others. Over the past few years, the Johnnie B. Wiley facility has suffered from under - funding, limited maintenance, and minimal development. Because of the recent transfer of City Parrs to Erie County that included the Johnnie B. Wiley facility, the operations and future of the sports pavilion have been placed in an even more precarious position. Serious questions are raised when maintenance and operations are unstable. As a result of this current condition and bleak outlook, the Johnnie B. Wiley Community .Participation Committee has been organized as a network of support that can invigorate community support, and promote cooperative and innovative initiatives joining together public, private and community resources. The organizational and operational viability of the facility is in question. The insufficient funding, lack of staffing and lacy of organizational efficacy present critical needs that must be addressed. Therefore the Community Participation" Committee calls upon city and county representatives to meet with the committee to discuss the operations; City-County processes, roles and responsibilities necessary to create a Johnnie B. Wiley Sports Pavilion action plan of inclusiveness and sustaintability. 1EFERRED TO THE SPECIAL COMM17D ON PARKS OVERSIGHT 0211212009 09:03 7168569617 0 0 0 3 0 HISPANICS UNITED PACE 01 °• Hispanas Unidus de Buffalo, inc.

As part of this plan, demolition funding was increased from $300,000 to $50 0,000 and the $3.3 million allocation for housing rehabilitation represents a $1 million increase. In addition, critical human service funding was maintained with increases to several agencies throughout every part of the City of Buffalo.

HUD designates these areas in order for a community to focus CI7E3Ca fiords ire a concentrated manner and provides special incentives to cornmunitics who participate in this program. The funds are integral to our investment in neighborhoods and housing. Accordingly, this budget includes additional fundiril; for acquisition, rehabilitation, and resale of homes in the NRSA, public irnnprovements, employment training, and a concentration or economic development funds to help businesses thrive in these neighborhoods. Based on community input, a Weatherization Program has been added to provide insulation and weather stripping improvements as well as energy efficient irnprovemelxts including new windows and doors for eligible homeowners. This program will tie into our new Employment Training Program whereby candidates who have successfully completed contractor training in home improvements may be ref=erred for work in the Weatherization Program.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $15,877,280 HOME Investment Partnership Grant $4,574,920 American Dream Downpayment Initiative $24,536 Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) $711,365 Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids ( HOPWA) $507,000 The City's Office of Strategic Planning (OSP) prepared an application form to be completed by any interested parties, which requested funding under the CDBG, ESG and HOPWA programs. The Application was posted on the City's Internet Homepage and made available to all interested organizations. A Proposal Workshop was conducted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008, at 9:00 A.M. at the Northwest Buffalo Community Center to review the City's application and layout the process and procedures for applying for grant funds. The workshop will state the goals and objectives that the administration has identified as priorities. Applications will be divided into cost subcategories including Public Facilities and Public Service. City staff members and other invited commentators with experience in administering federal grants were asked to review the applications and evaluate the following: • Project eligibility — the proposed project was evaluated for eligibility under applicable grant regulations. Projects found ineligible were not considered for further review. In addition, projects requesting start -up funds were rejected at this time due to lack of funding. • Application Completeness — the applications contained the required documentation for 501(c)3 status, continued compliance with federal, state returns and audit filings, corporate information, and corporate maintenance/accountability. • Agency CapacitylPerformance on Prior City Contracts — the applications were reviewed to determine an organization's ability to carry out proposed grant activities. For applicants who had recently conducted grant activities funded by City grant funds, OSP staff assessed past performance. Performance was graded in the areas of staffing, production, responsiveness and financial reporting. For entities without recent City grant funding, OSP staff reviewed organization data, financial reports and past history with similar programs to determine the entity's capacity to undertake the proposed program. • Project Viability /Necessity — review of the project/program's overall applicability and need was conducted in order to comply with the City's 5 -Year Consolidated Plan. • Logic Model — review of the Logic Model to determine the organization's ability to measure performance and meet projected outcomes. • Project Budget — was evaluated for completeness, reasonableness and the amount and source of other funds available to leverage our grant dollars. • Neighborhood need — was evaluated particularly with respect to resident poverty. Housing, Economic Development and Public Facilities and Improvement projects were determined by OSP staff due to stricter regulations and compliance requirements under regulations set forth by the Department of Housing & Urban Development. 5 1 J Applications for planning and administration costs will not be funded due to caps on funding in these budget lines. 2009-2010 (Year ) Annual Action Plan-Recommendation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Annual Action Plan reflects the City's funding priorities and identifies the projects proposed to receive Federal funds under the CDBG, HOME, ADD], ESG, and HOPWA programs. The Annual Action Plan describes priority projects for neighborhood revitalization, public improvements, housing development, economic development, public services, and homeless activities. The City of Buffalo will receive over $20 million in Federal grants from HUD's Community Planning and Development Programs. In fiscal year 2009, the City estimates it will receive $15,877,280 for CDBG (plus utilize $1,900,000 of program income generated from prior years' grant activities), $4,574,920 for HOME (plus $250,000 of program income), $24,536 for the American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI), $507,000 for HOPWA, and $711,365 for ESG. The ADDI Program is funded under the HOME Investment Partnership Program_ CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG activities leverage millions of dollars in State, local and private financing. They enhance the City's housing and community development programs, supporting safe, well- planned, attractive residential and business districts. CDBG financed projects respond to the most urgent needs of limited income residents. The City estimates that over 70% of the funding allocated to CDBG activities will benefit low to moderate - income persons. Maximum benefit is derived from each dollar spent. The City's first major goal is to concentrate neighborhood revitalization and public improvement activities within thirteen (13) targeted revitalization areas. Specific neighborhoods within these areas include: - Willett Park Homeownership Zone - Lakeview - Black Rock - Leroy - Broadway /Fillmore - Cold Springs - Cazenovia Park - Medical Park - Seneca /Triangle - Schiller Park - GrantlFerry - Hamlin Park - Masten Park A description of these neighborhoods is included in the "Mayor's Livable Communities Initiative — A Housing Strategy for the City of Buffalo ". HOME dollars for the Owner Occupied Rehab Loan Program as well as Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Rehabilitation Projects will also be focused in these areas. Seven CHDO sponsored activities are underway on targeted streets in the University, Niagara, North, Fillmore, Lovejoy, Ellicott, and Masten Districts of the City. Public facilities and improvement projects to be undertaken in these areas include the Livable Communities Block Club Grants Program. Preference will be given to those projects located in the thirteen - targeted neighborhoods. The City will also be targeting funding for its Mid City Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. Funds will be used to provide emergency rehab loan assistance to middle and low to moderate - income homeowners. Funding will also be used to undertake greening /pocket park activities on vacant lots. The Commercial Area Revitalization Effort (CARE) Program will receive additional funding to target the Jefferson and Fillmore /Leroy CARE areas located in the NRSA. The City will also provide an employment training program in the NRSA. The City will use its CDBG funds to provide Emergency Rehab Loan Assistance to low- moderate income homeowners on a citywide basis. In addition, housing rehabilitation will be undertaken in the Lovejoy District using New York State Affordable Housing Corporation matching funds. Revitalization of deteriorating neighborhoods will be accomplished through acquisition, demolition and clearance. Priority will be given to preserving the existing housing stock through rehabilitation and energy conservation to maintain a high level of quality housing for low- and moderate - income residents. This year we have added a Weatherization Program to provide insulation and weatherstripping improvements as well as energy efficient improvements including new windows and doors for eligible homeowners. This program will tie into our new Employment Training Program whereby candidates who have successfully completed contractor training in home improvements may be referred for work in the Weatherization Program. 2009 -2010 (Year Anneal AGtion Plat; - ornmen io Public housing renovations and modernization, and handicapped accessibility improvements are high priorities. The support for public housing projects will be accomplished through support of the Hope VI (Lakeview) and proposed A. D. Price projects. A second major goal is to stimulate economic development activities in the commercial districts of the Q neighborhoods. The Commercial Area Revitalization Effort (CARL=) Program is a comprehensive program designed to rehab and renovate retail and commercial properties within or directly adjacent to the thirteen targeted areas in the Livable Communities Initiative. Commercial Lending and Empire Zone Programs are also being funded to stimulate job creation and retention for low- moderate income persons, and business development. A third major goal is to support public services that improve the health, welfare and safety of residents, especially the elderly, frail elderly, the homeless, persons with special needs and other vulnerable populations. CDBG activities include senior services; health care services; housing services to support affordable housing opportunities for first -time homebuyers and to prevent homelessness; fair housing services, transportation; child care and youth services; employment training services, crime prevention and elimination services; and services to persons with disabilities. The City will also provide funds for Technical Assistance to build capacity of non - profit organizations to strengthen their ability to carry out neighborhood revitalization activities. The Annual Action Plan for the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, Year 2009 -2010, addresses the City's goal to achieve quality housing for all residents. In 2004, a single provider, Belmont Shelter Corporation (BSC) was selected to effectively and efficiently administer the City's Rehabilitation Loan Program. As in prior years, the City will continue to use an RFP process to implement the targeted housing rehab program to ensure the concentration of financial resources and a greater impact in selected neighborhood revitalization strategy areas, and to assist owners who need to repair emergency conditions. The City will also work with HUD, its technical assistance provider, banks and other national not - for - profit organizations to expand the capacity of nonprofit housing providers; thereby strengthening the City's housing programs and better leveraging private sector participation. The Annual Action Plan for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program, Year 2009 -2010 continues services for the HIV and AIDS community, Housing for persons living with HIV/AIDS is provided through tenant -based rental assistance, short termlemergency housing payments (i.e., utility shutoff prevention), support for housing units in congregate care facilities, and support services such as food pantries. The Annual Action Plan for the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program, Year 2009 -2010 continues emergency services for homeless families at area shelters. The proposed funding will fund a continuum of care that will provide active outreach to seek homeless individuals and families in soup kitchens, shelters, in parks, abandoned homes and other places where homeless individuals and families are found. Legal representation will be provided to clients who face eviction in housing court or who face foreclosure because of delinquent property tax payments. ESG funds are also provided for rent payments, security deposits and utility payments. 4 2009 -2030 (Year Annual Action Plan - Darr endation I YEAR 35 PROPOSED BUDGET — LINE ITEM SUMMARY ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES Acquisition of Properties Acquisition of Real Property necessary to meet the goals and objectives set forth in the 5- Year Consolidated Plan.
