With the return of these parks and recreational centers from the county, numerous needed 'improvements have been identified. This budget reflects my administration's commitment to neighborhood revitalization and stabilization by increasing housing rehabilitation and demolition from $3,791,607 to $5,788,674. This funding is necessary to offset funding losses with the expiration of New York State's RESTORE NY program, which has provided approximately $20 million to the city for demolitions and rehabs over a three year period. This will support keeping the city on track to meet the goals of the Mayor's "5 in 5" plan for 500 rehabs and 5,000 demolitions within five years. In addition, critical human service funding for community group delivery programs, that combat poverty and increase the quality of life for all, is provided in the sum of $2,413,728. The city is implementing a variety of reforms to expedite its contracting process with funded community groups and improve compliance with the requirements of the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The application and requirements for presenting agency budgets has been streamlined and administrative changes have been implemented to expedite necessary approvals. With an ongoing review of the Buffalo Economic Rennaissance Corporation underway, economic development funding is provided in a form that will assure flexibility in programmatic uses until the results of this review are completed. Program administration has been reduced by 16 %. Pursuant to HUD's citizen participation requirements and the requirements for presenting agency budgets, the City's 20102011 Annual Action Plan has been developed in consultation with Erie County and New York State representatives as well as public and private agencies that provide housing assistance, health services, fair housing, and social services. The Annual Action Plan is also designed to carry out the objectives in the City's approved 2008 --2012 Consolidated Plan. ( a r ; Tg n W. Brawn P F � O _ !: _ y r �^ c ayar ELU T. P� Fj� 1j 1: Byron City of Buffal,11 Brown, May Annual Recommendation Office of Strategic Planning Janet Penksa, Commissioner of Administration, Finance, policy, and Urban Affairs x _ r WTUMI In 1990, the United States Congress passed the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act which required local governments receiving Federal funds for the administration of housing and community development programs to prepare a five -year plan showing the use of Federal resources. The Consolidated Plan for Mousing and Community Development is a prerequisite for the City's annual funding from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for four Federal entitlement programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for People with Aids (HOPWA). The annual funding of the City's priority projects is described in the Annual Action Plan. Each project addresses one of the City's most critical needs in economic development, neighborhood revitalization, housing development, and public services for low and moderate - income families and homelessness. Each year the City solicits citizen participation in developing the Annual Action Plan. The City's Office of Strategic Planning officials conducted a public hearing and an application workshop to enhance community participation. Andrew Eszak, Director of Planning, conducted a public hearing on community needs which was held on November 16, 2009 at the Delavan Grider Community Center. Mr. Eszak, provided estimated amounts for entitlements, reviewed the Consolidated Plan's goals and objectives, reviewed the adoption process, and addressed participant comments and concerns. Mr. Eszak also discussed the City's targeting efforts. A Technical Assistance Workshop was held on November 18, 2009 at the Delavan Grider Community Center. This year the City streamlined its application and handbook to make the process easier for non- profit agencies to apply for funding. Ms. Yvonne McCray, Director of Housing, conducted the Workshop. Technical assistance was provided for agency capacity, performance measurement, allowable costs, allocable costs, and cost allocation. The Consolidated Plan Goals were reviewed and guidance was provided on the types of activities eligible for funding. The evaluation process was also explained. A Public Notice advertising the public hearing and application workshop was printed in the legal section of the Buffalo News, a publication with the greatest distribution throughout the City. The Public Notice was also advertised in minority and ethnic publications, the Buffalo Criterion and La Ultima Hora, The City also sent out approximately 700 notices of the Adoption Process Schedule to individuals, block clubs, the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority, and community groups. The City's community based non - profit organizations posted the notices in their centers. The forum, workshop and public hearing were also advertised on the City's web site.

It shall include all comments submitted to the Office of Strategic Planning. The Annual Action Plan reflects the City's funding priorities and identifies the projects proposed to receive Federal funds under the CDBG, HOME, ADDI, 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 $24.3 million in Federal grants from HUD's Community Planning and Development Programs. In fiscal year 2010, the City estimates it will receive $16,091,522 for CDBG (plus utilize $1,650,000 of program income generated from prior years' grant activities), $5,081,876 for HOME= (plus $250,000 of program income), $521,962 for HOPWA, and $706,910 for ESG. 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. To achieve the greatest impact, the City will try to focus program dollars annually in certain neighborhoods within these targeted areas. Specific neighborhoods within these areas include: - Willert Park Homeownership Zone - Lakeview - Flack Rock - Leroy - BroadwaylFillmore - Cold Springs - Cazenovia Park - Medical Park - Seneca /T"riangle - 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 park and playground improvements in low income 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. 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 city -wide basis. Revitalization of deteriorating neighborhoods will be accomplished through acquisition -rehab resale activities, demolition and clearance of blighted structures. 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. 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 major goal is to stimulate neighborhood and economic revitalization activities in low and moderate income areas of the city. A Neighborhood, Business and Commercial Loan Program is also being funded to support this goal, 2 Another 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. Funding for certain programs providing technical and administrative support have now been deemed ineligible by HUD. Instead funding from these disallowed programs will support direct neighborhood and economic revitalization. Funding will now be directed to revitalize city parks central to neighborhood revitalization and the quality of life for individual and families residing in these neighborhoods, as well as other neighborhood improvements. The Annual Action Plan for the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, Year 2010 -2011, addresses the City's goal to achieve quality housing for all residents. 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 (I- lOPWA) Program, Year 2010 -2011 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 2010 -2019 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.

The equipment's total cost is $12,504.62, of which the additional $2,504.62 will be covered by the Police Department's drug asset forfeiture seizure funds, which is an allowable expenditure, and therefore, there is not cost to the City of Buffalo for this equipment. Currently, when our Department needs to have crash sites evaluated, we have to borrow equipment from another Department that has it (i.e., Buffalo State, suburban police agencies). It is important to have state -of -the -art equipment as we work to strengthen our Police Officers abilities to investigate DWI related accidents /deaths so that we can build strong evidence against those motorists who have caused serious injuries and fatalities because they drove while drunk and /or under the influence.

In the big Picture, they more than pay for themselves by increasing property values (and thus property tax revenues) and by reducing grime, disinvestment, and other urban ills. They stimulate the economy by putting dollars in the hands of low - income workers who spend their money locally, Other examples of triple mn programs are those that hire local workers to rehab and green abandoned buildings, or to deconstruct and salvage buildings that cannot be rehabbed. Unless the City gets a better handle on its spiraling crisis of abandonment of residential and commercial buildings, many economic development efforts will be rendered meaningless. If, however, the City decides to devote some resources to business assistance, it should explore whether that could be done more efficie through other existing Entities. For example, could some of BERC's operations be merged with the ECIDA's minority business loan program? Could the City achieve more results through taon- profit organizations that aid small and micro businesses, such as the Small Business Development Center., MicroBiz Buffalo, and the Westminster. Economic Development Initiative? If the City is to spend money on business assistance, i.t should eontinue to .foes on small, minority and women owned businesses and to target its efforts geographically in a. handful of neighborhoods with high need but significant potential. However, it must spend that money with much more accountability, efficiency, and precision than BERC has ever, done. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for considering these comments.

Z Common Council City of Buffalo City Clerk's Office 1308 City Hall Buffalo, NY 14202 Ladies & Gentlemen: Thank you for the copy of the resolution "Eliminating The Buffalo Economic Renaissance Corp. as a Step Towards a New Approach for E c onomic Development" and your request for comments. The Western New York Venture Association's mission is to elevate the economic growth of the region by increasing the size and sophistication of the angel investor base and the duality of investment opportunities throughout Western New York. The WNYVA holds a series of networking meetings throughout the year that feature presentations by companies seeking capital and facilitate interaction between investors and entrepreneurs. Angel investors affiliated with WNYVA have invested in several local companies over the past few years. Insyte Consulting provides the operations support for the WNYVA and also is the manager of the Western New York Business Development Fund (WNYBDF), a seed -stage fund that invests in local technology based companies. The WNYBDF is a collaboration among the Erie County IDA, the University at Buffalo, NYSTAR and Insyte Consulting. The WNYBDF has invested over $1 million in nine local technology companies. While we do not feel that we have had sufficient interaction with BERC and knowledge of BERC's operations to make a recommendation for or against its proposed elimination, we would like to offer the following comments regarding the funding of early -stage companies in Buffalo and Western New York. 1. Companies located in Buffalo, Western New York. and Upstate New York receive significantly less venture capital funding compared to companies located in other regions of the U.S. Data regarding funding received by companies in our region can be found in the PricewaterhouseCoopers MoneyTree Report ( www. r) wcmonevtree ,conifMTPublic /ns /index..isn) and the report "Venture Capital & Seed Activity in NYS" (wWw.seedn.v.oreD. 2. A mechanism to increase investment in local companies by leveraging the $4.7 million that BERC receives each year is needed and would help close the funding gap between our region and other areas of the U.S. 3. Vulture capital and seed stage investing is a high -risk, potentially high- reward activity. Companies that seek venture or seed funding do so because they are too risky to receive traditional loans. A significant percentage of companies that receive venture capital or seed -stage investment �1 m 726 Exchange St., Suite 62® ON Buffalo, NY 14210 we Phone: 716 -636 -3626 No Fax: 716 - 845 -6418 a - f-v ry ivlt,UU111011 ['10.640,0410 P.3 WESTERN NEW YORK VENTURE ASSOCIATION �A The Region's Business Opportunity & investment f =orum fail, usually resulting in the total loss of the investor's capital. While private investors are willing to accept this higli risk, a significant number of failed investments may cause problems for a public entity. 4. Because of this high failure rate, venture and seed investors only invest in companies with the potential to generate extremely high returns on their investment to offset the losses from the failed companies. Companies that offer potential for high return typically have a unique and sustainable competitive advantage, very large market potential, and have experienced and capable management. Companies that do not have the potential to generate at least tens of millions of dollars in sales, high profit margins and the ability for the investor to Liquidate his or her investment at a significant return on investment in several years generally do not receive venture or seed funding. Successful venture and seed investors are very selective and decline the vast majority of funding requests that they receive. Relatively small businesses that serve the focal community are worthwhile and important to our region's economic health, but would not qualify for venture capital funding. This high selectivity and decline rate may cause a problem for a public entity. 5. If you do not believe that "City government should be in the economic development business" we suggest that you explore collaboration with another entity with an economic development mission and experience in venture or seed investing such as the Erie County IDA or l xcell Partners. There is also a current effort to farad a study to replicate Ohio's Jumpstart model in Upstate New York. We would expect that the City would need to address potential limitations on the geographic scope of such a collaboration. Thank you for the opportunity to provide these brief observations. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss these or other items in more detail. Very truly yours, J h A.

That's all I can really say about it — is that it's reprehensible. My ousting as a possible candidate to represent the constituents of the Ellicott District based on the sole fact that several months ago I was a registered independent is wrong. You wanted a Democrat, I became one. Apparently that wasn't good enough for Democratic Committee Chairpersons, who called me on the phone on Dec. 17 asking me to drop out because I wasn't a true "democrat." I didn't attend the Democratic Party interview farce on Dec. 18 _ instead, I took my father to the Sabres game for his 58 birthday. It seemed like a more honest way to spend my evening. But, what's more than that is how I found out I was no longer being considered. Did a councilmember call me? No. Did a staff member contact me to let me know what had occurred? No. I found out like I find out everything else in this city — The Buffalo News. This shows the type of caliber of elected official we have in Western New York. One minute, I'm the candidate that Mickey Kearns called, on the record "a sleeper who should make people nervous" and the next, I'm out. Why? That's for you to surmise, but in my opinion — it's because I am not a puppet. If anyone were to ask me to provide my lease at the Holling Place Lofts, I would've been more than happy to do so — I have been a resident there since 2008. But, apparently the only person doing his due diligence is me. I am an Independent. I'll make no bones about it or lie when asked. Did I take the steps necessary to become a Democrat? Yes. But I will always in my mind and in my heart remain an Independent. I have been one since I registered to vote as an undergrad at the University at Buffalo in 1999 and I will return to being an Independent as soon as humanly possible. One sided minds are cancerous. I think the question that begs to be asked here is — why aren't you an Independent? Why are you playing politics with the future and fate of the Ellicott District? Or, the future of this fair City? We know that Republicans couldn't get it done in WNY — former County Executive Joel Giambra's Red Budget was proof positive of that. And now, you are proving — through this dog and pony show of an "audition" for Councilmember that Democrats are just as bad. You're not picking a candidate based on their qualifications and whether or not they will be good for the community — you're picking a candidate based on which political contributor and which committee member pulls your strings hard enough. And, its wrong and it is everything that is causing Western New York to crumble. .Il U ` �. d This vote could've been historic. When faced with a difficult task, someone people rise to the occasion. Unfortunately, you all are still seated. The Democrats seem to back the Reverend Darius Pridgen. Good call — who better than to represent the people of the poorest district in Buffalo, than a man who pays no taxes on his True Bethel registered waterfront half - million dollar condominium and his True Bethel registered Cadillac and Hummer. Best of luck in this process, but I truly hope you start over Nicholas J. Primerano Cc, Carl Paladino Brian Meyer, Rus Thompson RECEIVED AND FILED l 7 Jar)uary 2010 Councilrrran Richard Fontana, Majority Leader Buffalo Common Ccundl 1411 City ball Buffalo, NY 14201 f : RP- launching the JSCB Neighborhood Stabilization initiative Dear Councilman Fontana: This letter is follow -up to our' recent meoting regarding the possibility of Buffalo's current Joint Schools Construction Board (JSCB) to finally launch the "Neighborhood Stabillxation Procirarn" component of the original program - one, I might add, that the original organizers planned and intonded. As you now know, neighborhood stabilization was seen as a critically import, 'int compliment to the original, and now enormously successft.ri, Buffalo Schools Reconstruction Program. 'fo thosxa of us who designed the program, it simply made no sense to re- create state -of- the -art schools and leave many of them in severely deteriorated settings! And now, with the benefit of hindsight, it is almost universally recognized that the failure to implement this original park of the overall JSCB mission was a very foolish mistako, The point of this letter is to emphasicc, that vie still have the power to correct Mks Situation and could easi clo so an a comprehensive, coordinated, city -wide basis, at least white the JSCB remains in pinto. Not to art now is, 1 think, to miss a golden opportunity that probably won't return... As one of the JS013's original planners and organizers, I have tried repeatedly during the intervening years to bring this essential component of the original program back to life obviously all unat_rcceasful effort to elate, I am, however, encouraged by my meeting with you and your staff and feel that with your understanding and assistance we may finally be able to fund and implement this important initiative. I remind you that the concept of "joint" initiatives was the very foundation of the JSCB mission, and we had outside funding commitments at the billion dollar level for both the reconstruction of our schools and their surrounding neighborhoods. As you know, the billion dollars committed for neighborhood stabilization was rejectodfreturned for political reasons and never made'available for use by the JSCB to address the depressing levels of deterioration and underdevelopment all too evident in many neighborhoods around our schools, During our conversation I tried to provide you with an overview of circumstances surrounding creation of the JSCB, hour we organizers defined its mission, and issues that lead to the failure to implement the neighborhood stabilization component. I also outlined several major conditions I know must be fulfilled by the City and the JSCB in order to reactivate funding support at the original loves and launch this program now - information I have been given by the key fundors over the feast few years. I will briefly repeat these points here. ;vents leading to. tlhe croation of buffalo's J CE3 In the raid- 1990's the City School District of Niagara Falls had two unusable high schools and wanted to consolidate functions into one new state -of -the -art facility at no cost to their city taxpayers, But, it was certain the required public referendum would novel pass, and there were no other financing venues available. Page 1 of 8 r 425 Franklin Sfrc:cf e Buffalo, New Ycxk 1 , 1 ?.{3) rest 716.828.9166 a fax /16,828.9164 e v,w�v.stie,c�lilrs€ pc €c€:ccs�7t Education Transformation Croup (FTC), my company, developed prototype state legislation to allow a "private developert" to assume, "cr.istody" of the now Niagara Falls High School facility during the time taken to buiM and pay riff construction. The selected developer, Honeywell (actually "a special purpose entity "), still has guaranteed first call on all reimbursement funds from the NY State Education Department (NYSED) to (lie District, to pay for construction, t -uring this time they lease it directly to the District, which may purchase it at the end of the lease, n in the mid -1 900's Buffalo was technically a bankrupt city with a "dependent" school district (with a physical plant comprised of about eighty buildings averaging 70 years old) that had become incapable of supporting the delivery of (ILIality educational programs .. and there was literally no Heaney available to upgrade these school buildings. Having heard about the "privatization" process used to build the new Niagara f=alls City High School with no local taxpayer share, former .Mayor Masiello requested ETG to Investigate means for accomplishing a similar program for the Buffalo Public Schools. This led our developing a unique new model for financing district-wide school reconstruction and creation of the JSCB vehicle. Mission and purpose of the Buffalo JSCF1 JSG13's original purpose was to create the capability to respond to NYSE US offer to lock -in an extraordinary 93.7 state reimbursement of the guaranteed maximum Cost allowance for the reconstruction costs of all the Buffalo Public; Schools for ton years. In the course of developing financial rneans to plan and execute reconstruction all of the Buffalo public school facilities it became clear that the JSCB's mission should be expanded to include stabilizing their Surrounding neighborhoods (defined as the two block area around each school building) and to accomplish these goals at no direct cost to the City's taxpayers. To accomplish this, ETG set up the JSC8 as a third municipality with authority overarching that of the City of .Buffalo and the Buffalo Public Schools a.. both existing independent municipalities (excepting the public School's ability to raise taxes on its own). 'rhis authority was to sunset after 10 years, or in 2011, During this time the JSCB was to function as primary developmont decision maker and coordinator, with staffs of both the City and the District to .serve at its call including: the offices of Strategic Planning, Public Works, Neighborhood Housing, School F=acilities Planning, Instruction, Curriculum etc -- essentially functioning as one thoroughly integrated. organization. Phis was designed specifically so the JSCB would not have to create a new bureaucracy in order to fulfill its mission. Legislative Context, organization, and Structcrre of tlto .)SCB (reference attachment) The JSCB was created by amendment to Buffalo's City Charter. This new entity was then cited in special NY State L.egisiation needed to permit the NYSE«D to reirnburse funding for the planned multi- phased school s reconstruction process. The JSCB was organized to represent all components of both tite City and School Governments — the Mayor, Common C:oOncil., Superintendent, Board of Education, Comptroller, as well as several ex- offic €o - riternbi6rs. This structure had numerous sub- Rage 2 of 8 committees, advisors, and (initially) a core executive staff to help clarify, issues and establish the ongoing oporating agencia. '1'0 facilitate the planning and implementation process for school reconstruction and neighborhood stabilization, tho JSCl3 conducted a national'search for what was termed a "Program Packaging & Development Services Providor" (PP&DSF) -- charged with securing financing, managing the planning process, and executing the entire JSCD program. After a lengthy RFC development and independent selection process, ;-�a local company --- l.PCiminalli - was chosen. Original JSC13 1 °tarrding SOLrrUS and Commitments !n a manner similar to the Niagara Falls High School privatization process, the NYSED agreed to allow an entity other than the City of Buffalo, to create a alternative financial mechanism to fund 93.7% of the rnassivo schools reconstruction program maximum cost allowance, and then be reimbursed directly. The other 6.3 %, representing the "focal share, became the responsibility of the selected PP &DSP to identify and provide; .r for a total commitment of one billion dollars to be investod in Buffalos' school facilities over a span of ten years. (/end, of course, the economic multiplier resulting front such investment, should have accrued to the neighborhoods and residents of the com1nunitiOS.) 4 It was originally hoped that the NY State Energy Research and Development (NYSERDA) would play a major complimentary funding role by making the entire Buffalo Schools Reconstruction Project a green energy demonstration initiative and provide funding for many LEED and LEED -type innovations in the buildings, effectively covering the remaining "local share." This did not happen because NYSED ultimately could not agree to complimentary funding roles. Funding for the Neighborhood Stabilization component was to be provided by combining resources from three places'. the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (MUD) had committed six hundred and fifty million, - the Comrrrunity Preservation Corporation (CPC) had committed one hundred million dollars, and the NY State Department of I~iousing and Community Renewal had indicated their willingness to dedicate an additional two hundred and fifty million dollars to the program - for a total of an additional one billion dollars to be committed and spent concurrently with the schools' billion dollar reconstruction budget. e Because the Neighborhood stabilization funds were to be provided from different sources, each with their own ailocationlspenclin€t guidelines, talks were to be held among the three organizations to devise a common set of guidelines andfor procedures to be followed in allocating support for various individual projects. Roasons for failure to launch Neighborhood Stabilization Program v consequences Q The single biggest Single reason the Neighborhood Stabilization Program was not Idunched, and the original funding commitment returned to FIUD, was that all Buffalo Common Council members would be required to give up the ability to spend their soparato annual block grants as they saw fit for the entire period of time the JSCB's prograrn was in effect. This allocation process was to be ceded to the JSCB and suhjoat Page 3 of tt to their prioritieL which wero to o set in tandem with the secluence o� individual schccl reconstruction projects. The Common Council membership could not agree to this concept of a larger good, even: though they were fully r eprosented on the JSCl3. As a consequence, the ! II_ D funding cornrnitmont was returned and conversations with the other funding participants were discontinued. taut, because the concept of a comprehensive schools' and neighborhoods' reconstruction program had been discussed and promoted throughout much of the Buffalo community, In several quarters there was an expectation for it to actually happen. When it didn't, the JSCB's overall credibility suffered, as did that of the PP &DSP who was incorrectly seen by some as being responsible; fear funding anti execution of both portions of the overall program, This problem has still not been adetluately addressed, so many people don't understand how and why a considerable number of these rnarvolous educational facilities are being brought back to life while they remain in severely compromised neighborhood settings. Another significant factor Contributing to this confusion over the unfulfilled Neighborhood Stabilization Program was the dernise of the JSCN's "Workforce Training Program" -- a program ETC, developed in concert with the building trades unions over several years and designed specifically to bring young, unemployed, and underemployed people into this massive housing and school building reconstruction effort. This unique program was at the core of the JSCB':q community economic transformation process. It was well organized and financed and full of promise. In fact, Senator Hillary Clinton carne by to give it her blessing. The "training school" was set up in a huge east -side warehouse with experiences] staff and management. Participating individuals were to have their language, math and hands -on job skills brought up to jab- readinoss level where they would become eligible to enter a journeyman's track In one of the union trades. The first class of about fifty Students warn, in fact, graduated but because of the demise of the Neighborhood Stabilization component, there was no entry level job market for them and, as a result, the entire training effort collapsed. Subsequent attempts to re- launch JSCB Neighborhood Stabilization Program Since Neighborhood Stabilization was such an integral part of the JSCB program, I have made many attempts to re-start this component after-the-fact. In spite of several promising tries and HUD's re- commilrnent or their funding, I have not been able to reassemble all tlae pieces and, of course, ETC no longer serves as operating staff to the JSCB. But, I have also counseled Rochester and Syracuse, who are modeling their own "JSCS- like" initiatives after Briffalo's, in order to incorporate this activity into their overall schools' reconstruction programs. It is important to note that several other factors have inhibited my ability to restart this important initiative. One obstacle has been the anxiety of the City's former Community Development Office, now Office of Strategic Planning, which somehow viewed neighborhood stabilization as their - purview, and didn't really take well to the idea of having any of "their" priorities set by the JSC13, even if only in the neighborhood development arena. !mother less.obvlous problem was the lack of a unified master plan unfortunate, because at the time the JS0B was being assembled the City was undertaking a new, Master Plan and at the sam time the District was developing a new Strategic .Plan, Perfect timing! So, ETC advocated Page 4 of 8 �r. strongly for their total integration. Ironically, it didn't happen becausO nobody at th at time really believed that the JSCB wGuld actually materialize, It is also worth mentioning that part of this "integrated CitylSchools Master flan" concept was predicated on the idea that each detailed neighborhood planning effort would take place under the guidance of the Strategic Planning Office and be executed by the same consultants who would be developing the detailed schools reconstruction designs under the guidance of the District's facilities Planning Office. The clear advantage to this approach would have been that everyone would be discussing the same goals and issues for each school/neighborhood project, and integrating separate frrndi €ag Sources to achieve them. This process was to have been scheduled and overseen by the JSCB and facilitated by their fig &DSP and is the approach we have been encouraging other cities to follow. Changes in JSCB Board f< enobership and resulting functional discontin tilt! es The original JSCB membership inevitably changed with elections and appointments, This was expected and anticipated. However, it was not foreseen that the JSCB would have no staff of its own acrd, therefore, no instituti011a1 rrrernory. I pointed this out at our' last meeting with the JSCB, but after almost five years of meeting together and with the PP &DSP in place, the Board felt the organization coulr operate well enough without maintaining its small staff — even though the Neighborhood Stabilization component had not yet been put in place. With no staff to provide continuity and a new School Superintendent, a new Mayor, a new Comptroller, and new representatives from tho School Board and Common Council, it is not surprising the JSCB's focus shifted away front "enlarging" its responsibilities, to keeping up with ongoing school reconstruction activities — very unique and complex in their own right. After a couple of years, when it became obvious to ETO that the JSCB's sense of mission was slipping because the new members were almost totally unfamiliar with the background work that led to its creation, we offered to lead a daylong retreat to inform the new Board of "Buffalo's Billion Dollar Corporation" about the background of their organization. We tried, unsuccessfully, for three years and have actually never been given the opportunity to discuss this project with the JSC13's now Board as a group. As a result many did not know for quite a long time that there actually were two equally important components to this initiative, Status of Neighborhood Stabilization "re-launch" conversations During the past five years of so I have met with many individuals and agencies to review the status of this program often repeatedly. These have included new members of the JSCB, various individuals and agencies (public, private, and not- for - profit) dedicated to stabilizing firttprovingldeveloping our City's neighborhoods (particularly those in deep distress), as well as and major sources of program funding — both public and private. At each meeting we started with a discussion of the increasingly obvious need to re launch the JSCB's Neighborhood Stabilization initiative particularly because of the somewhat unexpected huge success of its Buffalo Schools', Reconstruction Program --- now recognized, state -wide, as a great achievement. No one I have talked with understands Page 6of8 Wily our neighborhoods remain unimproved and/or why the best substitute "stabi €izailon" strategy that the City seems to be able to come up with is a program for the wholesaie dennolition ref thousands of abandoned horses -• most of which tyre entirely salvageable, but once done, can never replaced.

I am concerned about a massive safety hazard out my back door. This back door is strictly for emergency egress, which opens onto another property. The landlord of this property has barricaded the door, eliminating any option for egress, City of Buffalo officials have deemed this 5,000 square foot space "safe" by changing the capacity from 300 persons to 49 persons. Common sense shows that changing the capacity does not make it a safe building. Furthermore, 49 persons cannot sustain the overhead it costs to do business. As you know, business owners are forced to purchase multiple licenses annually to remain in operation, which is impossible to maintain at this capacity, This situation exists all over the City of Buffalo creating many unsafe situations. It also creates and sustains vacant spaces in a city desperate for entrepreneurs. I invite you to have a look at the situation. At that time I am confident that common sense will prevail and the landlord who installed them will be ordered to remove the barricades. Please feel free to call me for any further correspondence.

Potter, regarding the Broadway- Fillm ore Station. Thank you for sharing Resolution #72. As information, the U.S. Postal Service is a self - supporting agency that funds its operations from the revenue generated by the sales of our products and services —not taxpayer subsidies received through the Congressional appropriations process. Like so many businesses today, the Postal Service is experiencing significant financial challenges related to declining mail volumes and revenue. Despite cost - cutting efforts resulting in $6 billion in cost savings and a $4 billion reduction in required payments for retiree health benefits, the Postal Service ended fiscal year 2009 with a net loss of $3.8 billion and a mail volume decline of more than 25 billion pieces, Forecasts for 2010 appear equally as dim. In the face of such difficulties, the Postal Service is pursuing solutions and strategies to mitigate the impact. Efforts have focused on improving efficiencies and making sure the processing and delivery networks are as streamlined as possible through such activities as mail processing consolidations and carrier route adjustments. The Postal Service is also reviewing station and branch operations of larger Postal Service facilities throughout the nation. The focus is on areas where we have a number of offices in close proximity to determine where consolidations are possible. The studies are ongoing and no final decisions have been made. On November 20. 2009, the Postal Service announced that 741 retail stations and branches remain under consideration for possible consolidation. You may be pleased to learn that the Broadway- F'illmore Station is no longer part of the study. Thank you for writing, Sincerely, 7� William J.

The United Church Horne, Inc. seeks to open "Plymouth Crossroads" in 2010: it will be a group residence that will provide safe, transitional housing for homeless young men ages 16 to 20, who can be found throughout the City of Buffalo': teenagers in crisis who can find themselves homeless because of abuse, neglect, family problems and conflicts, or parental drug or alcohol abuse. The greatest cause of homelessness is poverty. In Buffalo a staggering 33 % of youth or 15,805 children live in poverty, and statistics show that 10% of those children have the potential to become homeless each year; we seek to lower that vercent. Our goal is to empower these young people to develop independent, healthy paths to their future by offering them support and guidance through positive lifestyle choices, education and job training support to help them create successful, productive lives and avoid chronic homelessness and long -term dependency on social services. The Plymouth Crossroads residence will provide a safe home, case management, and the provision of essential services for homeless youth, and homeless prevention activities. The average length of stay at Plymouth Crossroads transitional residence at 400 Lincoln Parkway, will be six to eighteen months. Residents will be assisted in working on goals throughout their residency to focus on either reuniting with their families or finding permanent housing. In addition to providing shelter, clothing and meals, The Plymouth Crossroads Program offers youth aged 1620 the following opportunities for personal growth: General Equivalency Degree /High School Diploma, Career Counseling, Workforce development Skills, Computer Skills, Life Skills, and Health Skills. Residents will be required to spend at least 30 hours each week working or going to school. In addition, Case managers and Counselors will work with youth daily to help them develop healthy lifestyle skills to achieve and maintain_ independence. Plymouth Crossroads will have capacity for 10 to 12 male youth age 16 to 20 in a group home setting. Throughout the course of year, we will serve approximately 30 to 40 youth. The majority of our referrals will come from Compass House which has provided shelter and services for 300— 350 abused and homeless youth annually for 37 years. We will also reach out into the community for referrals through the Erie County Youth Bureau, schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, Hispanics United, Native American Community Center, etc. Residents at Plymouth Crossroads will be supervised. 24 hours per day, seven days a week, by a minimum of two specially trained Plymouth Crossroads employees. Case Workers with special qualifications to work with abused and homeless teens will develop case direction, performance targets and goals for youth. The residence will be staffed by Youth Counselors and Life Skills Counselors who are qualified to determine placement for youth and. assist with modeling Iife skills training. The Program ' City of Buffalo. Statistics from Compass House show that there are youth in need from all census tracts throughout the City of Buffalo. This report: shows specifically that in 2009, 21 youth were assisted at Compass House from the Census Block Group in which Plymouth Crossroads will be located (14216 and 14207). A zip code report along with a map is attached. ,t If Director oversees managemblit of the residence, scheduling, and oversight of state mandated requirements. Plymouth Crossroads is supported and managed by The United Church Home, Inc., which is in turn led by a qualified Board of Directors and managed by Staff specifically hired to deliver the services necessary to meet certification requirements. The United Church Home, Inc. in keeping with its other managed facilities in Orchard Park and West Seneca, has developed a policy and procedures manual specific to Plymouth Crossroads. This manual includes Plymouth Crossroads information (mission, philosophy, staff /organizational information, rules, employee information, sexual harassment policy, conflict of interest policy, etc.), Fire and Disaster Procedures, Volunteer Program information, policies and procedures for working with abused and homeless youth, State and Federal information regarding Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY Act), and a list of community providers. In addition, Compass House also has a staff policy and procedure manual consistent with Plymouth Crossroads policy and procedures. DEMONSTRATION OF THE NEED FOR SUCH SERVICES IN THE SPECIFIC LOCATION: Throughout the Western New York community, teenagers are in crisis; finding themselves homeless, sometimes because of abuse, neglect or because of parental drug or alcohol abuse. The Plymouth Crossroads residence will serve the Western New York Community, with the majority of the population to be served from the City of Buffalo. Compass House, Buffalo's temporary shelter for homeless youth, provides teenagers emergency shelter for up to thirty days. Compass House shelters between 300 -350 children each year and estimates 10% cannot, or should not be reunited with their families. There is only one transitional shelter in Buffalo (with only 8 beds). If these children cannot find transitional housing they often become homeless. Once on this path, they often end up in the juvenile justice system, costing tax payers millions of dollars in corrections and detention. The majority of the youth who enter the juvenile justice system are released from detention to homelessness after a short period of time with an 80% recidivism rate; we seek to stem this flow. In a recent letter of support, David Rust, Director of the Erie County Youth Bureau, stated that with only 8 transitional beds serving all of Erie County, our transitional youth residence will fill a sizable gap between need and available services. In accord with Buffalo's Consolidated Plan, Plymouth Crossroads will help to strengthen Communities and Enhance Suitable Living Environments. The United Church Home, Inc. a Grassroots, Community Based Organization, will work to provide housing and support services to homeless youth who have nowhere to go; getting them off the streets and out of aberrant activities and the strong. possibility of future legal and other social problems. The services provided are especially critical for these youth who are not in one of the public systems (CPS or Family Court Custody, PINS, etc.) which all have the responsibility to provide for safe shelter for youth in their care. The youth who have never gained entry to the "system" are without protection and are one of the most vulnerable populations in our community. The Plymouth Crossroads residence, offered by The United Church Home, Inc. in collaboration with Compass House, will offer an alternate path BEFORE youth reach the juvenile justice system; BEFORE thev break the law, BEFORE thev become involved with drugs and drug. - related activities. The Plymouth Crossroads alternative is a home complete with education and job training skills. The goal: To provide safe shelter and empower young people to develop independent, healthy paths to their future by offering them the tools they need to create successful, productive lives a avoid chronic homeless and long term dependency on public assistance. PLYMOUTH CROSSROADS WILL ENHANCE THE NATURE AND CHARACTER OF THE NORTH COUNCIL DISTRICT IN WHICH IT WILL BE LOCATED: The proposed use will enhance the public health, safety, and aesthetics of the community, by taking abused and homeless youth off the street and structuring their paths to live law - abiding, productive adult lives; The proposed use will enhance the general character of the surrounding neighborhood by taking abused and homeless youths off the street, providing a safe haven for those in need; The proposed use will have no effect on overcrowding; The Proposed use will have little or no effect on property values, the United Church Home, Inc. will take an existing structure, prevent it from being shuttered and utilize it for a constructive purpose in the community. Further, the United Church Home, Inc. will invest $250,000 to renovate the existing property helping to add to the property's value therefore adding to the community's property values; The lot and building are suitable for the proposed use; The interests of the users of such facilities and the community are parallel: No one wants children on their own, on the street; it is well known that homelessness can lead to illegal activities and behaviors and can lead to theft and drug - related activities. By providing a path to divert abused and homeless youth from these activities, the community will be enhanced and protected. oOL A PLICDOC APPLICATION FOR �. umAN sERVICES RESTRICTMUSE PERMIT Tlr�te De cember 23 ,�� 2p Q 9 Businm Name UNITED CHURCH HOME, INC.

AE/ms REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE. ON COMMUNITY DEL E Ta 7 00093 RESO.L ®N Sponsor: Michael J. LoCurto Subject: Lowering City Energy Costs by Switching Over To Compact Fluorescent Lighting Whereas: The City of Buffalo has taken numerous steps to reduce its electrical costs but City Hall still rases energy - wasting incandescent light bulbs in its hallways, offices, and conference rooms. Further, approximately 90 percent of the power consumed by an incandescent light bulb is emitted as heat, rather than as visible light; and Whereas: Compact Fluorescent Light ( "CFL ") bulbs uses 76 percent less energy and last 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs, and changing to CFL bulbs is a green initiative that reduces the need for electricity and reduces greenhouse gases that are a byproduct of electricity generation that lead to global climate change; and Whereas: ENERGY STAR qualified CFL bulbs, must pass extensive testing to ensure they produce only the highest duality light, can save about $30 in energy costs over their lifetime and can pay for themselves in as little as 6 months; and Whereas: The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ( "NYSERDA ") has spearheaded multiple initiatives to encourage New York State residents and municipalities to save energy and protect the environment; and Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: that the City of Buffalo Common Council supports NYSERDA's mission to save energy and protect the environment by using compact fluorescent light bulbs; And, Be It Further Resolved: that the City of Buffalo Common Council request of the Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets that they remove all existing incandescent light bulbs within City Hall and replace them with ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs and that the Department of Public Works report back to the Common Council of the successfulness of this initiative or the impediments thereto; And, Be It Finally Resolved: that this matter be referred to the Common Council Committee on Finance for further discussion and review.
