Franczyk, President of the Council, and Councilmembers: Davis Fontana, Golombek, Kearns, LoCurto & Rivera, Russell & Smith - 9 Absent - 0 On a motion by Mr. Fontana, Seconded by Mr.Golombek , the minutes of the stated meeting held on June 24, 2008 were approved. FROM THE MAYOR NO. 1 CITY TAKE -HOME VEHICLES Attached for Your Honorable Body's information and review, please find a list of all City take -home vehicles. This list reflects a 41 % reduction of take -home vehicles used by City of Buffalo employees called for by my office. The significant reduction follows an extensive internal analysis over a period of months, which included meetings with city department heads. Through meetings with the city's Law Department it was determined that 15% of the city's previous 85 take home vehicles were mandated by contractual obligations. Prior to my office's mandated reduction, 82.3% of the City's take -home vehicles were for public safety. After the reduction, 88% of the vehicles will be dedicated to public safety activities, such as police and fire vehicles. In fiscal year 2007 -2008, the total cost for fuel for all city -owned vehicles was $2.9 million. Of that $2.9 million, $231,958 was for take -home vehicles, or 8% of the entire fuel budget for the City of Buffalo. Of that 8% fuel budget for take -home vehicles, 85% of the budget for fuel was for public safety vehicles, 58% went to the Buffalo Police, and 27% went to Buffalo Fire. Take home vehicles for the Buffalo Police Department will be reduced by 40 %, 11 police vehicles are mandated as take -home vehicles, 6 are for Inspectors per the Buffalo PBA contract, 4 are mandated to the K -9 units, 1 is for the Narcotics unit, per a memorandum of understanding between the Buffalo Police and the FBI. It should also be noted that previously, the city's Fuel Master tracking system provided monthly reports to the Division of Inventory and Stores. I have directed that the reports now be made on a weekly basis, providing information on who puts in fuel into a vehicle, how much fuel is put into a vehicle and at what time. The CitiStat Buffalo panel will now also track this information, and as this is an evolving process, my administration will continue to monitor and reduce vehicles as necessary. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE NO. 2 APPOINT BRIAN REILLY COMMISSIONER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PERMIT & INSPECTION SERVICES In accordance with §17 -1 of the City Charter, I hereby appoint Brian Reilly Commissioner of the Department of Economic Development, Permit & Inspection Services. Mr. Reilly has served as the City's Chief Economic Development Officer since February and was previously Director of the City of Cleveland, Ohio's Economic Development Department, a 106 - member department with a $13 million annual operating budget. Reilly was responsible for strategically deploying $40 million of incentives for business growth, administering a 300 -loan portfolio and overseeing the city's federally funded workforce system. Prior to his two -year experience in Cleveland, Reilly spent seven years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Department of City Development, where he led the city's efforts in its industrial and mixed -use district, the Menomonee River Valley. The location is Milwaukee's largest and most successful remediation and redevelopment initiative. To build on the progress we have made over the past 2Y2 years, the City's economic development functions will be streamlined under Brian Reilly with an emphasis -on implementing development plans quickly, establishing clear and predictable timetables for business project approvals, accelerating the city's demolition and redevelopment program, strengthening residential neighborhoods & commercial districts, improving preservation efforts, and creating and connecting more jobs to Buffalo residents I respectfully request that Your Honorable Body confirm Mr. Reilly at your earliest opportunity. Mr. Reilly is available to meet with the Common Council at your convenience. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION.

The existing lot will be improved by resurfacing, new fencing and a comer landscaped area. ingress and egress to the parking building would be from an overhead door on Oak Street and a secondary overhead door on Blossom Alley. A third overhead door is located on Blossom Alley, however this will only access a small storage room not accessible to the rest of the building. The existing driveway on East Huron serving the existing lot will remain. A variance from the Zoning board of Appeals is required for building height (17' 8" vs. the required 24'.0) The project is privately funded with the estimated cost being approximately $625.000 dollars.

For further information relative to this Negative Declaration, contact Mr. Martin Grunzweig, Land Use Controls Coordinator, Room 901 City Hail, Buffalo New York 14202 - 716 851 -5085 RECEIVED AND FILED NO. 5 SEQRA NOTICE OF DETERMINATION NON SIGNIFICANCE NEGATIVE DECLARATION This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8 (SEAR - State Envirenmental Quality Review) of the Environmental Conservation Law, Lead Agency City of Buffalo Planning Board Room 901, City Hall 65 Niagara Square Buffalo New York 14202 As per the provisions of SEAR, the Lead Agency has reviewed the following action as it relates to the environment: Action Title Renovation of 640 Ellicott Street Location 640 Ellicott Street Type of Action:Type I - Coordinated Description; Trautman Associates on behalf of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is proposing the rehabilitation of the property located at 640 Ellicott Street, Buffalo New York. The proposed project involves the renovation of a semi vacant four -story (109,000 sq. ft.) structure located on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Renovation activities included in this project scheduled to take place in the interior areas of the building include the following: replacement of the HVAC system, electrical infrastructure upgrades, reconfiguration of non -load bearing walls, placement of water equipment, lighting upgrades, renovation of bathroom facilities, additional administration infrastructure (video conferencing, data, security and communications), floor refinishing, elevator upgrades, installation of a freight elevator, construction of new stairwells as required, lobby upgrades, infrastructure necessary to deliver emergency power and construction of wet lab infrastructure. Renovations activities included in this project scheduled to take place to the exterior of the structure include: a new roof, construction of a roof - located penthouse to house mechanical equipment, replacement of windows, light shelves on new windows, street level pedestrian amenities (building mounted architectural lighting and building signage). Limited facade repairs and replacement of the glass curtain wall on the southeastern facade of the structure. Renovation activities ancillary to the project are scheduled to take place on property owned by Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus adjacent to the project site at 821 Washington Street (currently a surface parking lot). These improvements include the placement of emergency generators and the construction of a loading dock. Historic Considerations: This building is adjacent to Trice Building #1 at 624 Ellicott Street, an historic structure, but this project would involve a building considered to be a non - contributing structure. The maintenance and improvement of this structure would serve to highlight and enhance the surroundings of the historic structure. There are no known Archaeological Resources in the area. In accordance with Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation ( "OPRHP ") has been consulted. The project received a determination of =No Effect" from OPRHP as discussed in a letter dated April 7, 2008. There would be no deterioration of service in transportation as a result of this project, even with full occupation of the structure. With the introduction of updated HVAC systems, the energy efficiency of the building would likely be improved. The project would not result in noise or odor surrounding the site; short -term construction noise impacts would be mitigated according to City of Buffalo noise regulation requirements. This project involves the renovation and improvement of an existing structure. Being in a highly urbanized site, there would be no impact on land, water or air. There are no important habitats surrounding the site, nor are there agricultural resources.

REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION NO 22 CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT Appointment Effective June 23, 2008 n the Department of Public Works, Parks & Streets Division of Buildings to the Position of Principal Engineer Permanent Promotion, Maximum Starting Salary of $67,105 David A. Hornung, 181 La Salle Avenue, Buffalo 14214 REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON CIVIL SERVICE FROM THE CORPORATION COUNSEL NO 23 CABLE TELEVISION SERVICE TO BUFFALO CITY HALL 66 NIAGARA SQUARE By letter of February 6, 2006, Ms Sharon Hanson of Time Warner Cable wrote to Buffalo Council Chairman David Franczyk that Time Warner will commence billing him for cable television service in the Common Council chambers at Buffalo City Hall. Since that time your company has commenced billing members of the Common Council for cable television services in the Buffalo City Hall regardless of whether service is available. Ms. Hanson's letter claims to base her letter and your corporate decision on a Federal rule that prohibits the provision of free cable television service to Federal officials. That regulation has no application to the City of Buffalo, nor the offices for which you claim payment. Pursuant to the Franchise Agreement between the City of Buffalo and TCI of New York, Inc., TCI (and Time Warner as successor to the franchise agreement) are required to provide cable television service at no charge to the Buffalo City Hall. Since the inception of the Franchise Agreement Adelphia Cable and Time Warner have provided a cable drop to the Buffalo City Hall, and the City has, within its rights under the Franchise Agreement, cabled internally within City Hall to install cable service to television receivers at various locations within the building. This is consistent with the Franchise Agreement and has been acquiesced in by your predecessor, Adelphia, and by your Company. We deem the charge for service at Buffalo City Hall to be a breach of the Franchise Agreement. Your unilateral action has no basis in contract or in statute. The City of Buffalo insists that Time Warner Cable give immediate notice to the City of Buffalo that all bills for service within Buffalo City Hall are immediately and retroactively cancelled. The City further insists that regular service be continued to the Buffalo City, at no charge to the City of Buffalo, as required by the Franchise Agreement. RECEIVED AND FILED NO 24 CABLE SERVICE IN CITY HALL Your Account Numbers: 1608784 -01 -001 1607780 -01 -001 1608537 -01 -001 Please be advised that the above captioned accounts are improperly billed by your company. There are no apartment dwellings in the Buffalo City Hall. Time Warner, as successor to the TCI Cable Franchise agreement with the City of Buffalo is obligated to provide cable television service to the Buffalo City Hall at no charge to the City of Buffalo. The Service you are billing for is duly assigned by the City of Buffalo Telecommunications Office as part of the service you are obligated to provide at no charge to the City. Please cancel these bills immediately, and confirm that cancellation in writing to the undersigned. In addition, should you have any further accounts billed to the Buffalo City Hail, please cancel those billings, and confirm those cancellations as well.

LOCURTO -INFO SECOND HAND DEALER LICENSE" This correspondence is in response to the Common Council's request for comments and /or recommendations concerning item # 48, CCP February 5, 2008 regarding information concerning second hand dealer licensing. The Department of Economic Development, Permits & Inspection Services has the following comments, recommendations and concerns with regards to the aforementioned communication filed by the Common Council: Chapter 254 "Junk Dealers and Pawnbrokers" requires a city license for any establishment "buying, selling, storing, collection, distribution or dealing in" any used items including but not limited to second hand books. License applications are referred to the Zoning Office to ensure that the property has "legal use" and is located in an appropriately zoned area. License applications are also referred to the Fire Prevention Bureau and the Building Inspection Office to ensure the building is in compliance with all New York State Building & Fire Codes in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood. A Police Record Check and Police approval are also required for license applications to ensure that the applicant is of sound moral character and the business location has not been the subject of past numerous criminal activities. Should the Police Record Check indicate felony arrests, the applicant is required to provide a final disposition of the felony charges to ensure that the felony arrests do not indicate a pattern of disregard for laws related to personal property, there or receipt of stolen property. If a Police Record Check makes reference to another municipality it is necessary for the applicant to obtain a record check from that municipality in order for the Office of License to ascertain whether or not the charges against the applicant were pertinent to the granting of the license. Police Record Checks are now only required with a new application and not upon the renewal of the license. The Buffalo Police Department provides recordkeeping forms to licensees in order for the reporting of goods bought and sold to assist Police in making the sale of stolen property more difficult, help in a recovery of identifiable property and conform reporting requirements to the experiences of those law enforcement officials charged with the responsibility of carrying out the provisions of said chapter. This is a vital tool for our Police Department in conducting investigation of stolen property, although reporting forms for the sale of only used books may not be as necessary. It is the opinion of the Department of Economic Development, Permits & Inspections Service that a new license category for "book sellers" is not necessary or merited. This department suggests that your honorable body consider requesting Corporation Counsel to review and draft an ordinance amendment to Chapter 254, specifically, Chapter 254 -12 "Report of Articles acquired for Sale; exceptions ", "(F) Exceptions" and possibly exempt licensees who sell only used books from some or all of the reporting guidelines in Chapter 254. Finally, the Department of Economic Development, Permits & Inspection Services will cooperate and work with the REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION. NO.

GRIFFIN PLAZA This is in reply to your request for comments regarding the resolution to designate 275 Washington Street as "1 James D. Griffin Plaza." The resolution designates "James D. Griffin Plaza" as the primary address and "275 Washington Street" as the alternate address for the downtown baseball stadium known as Dunn Tire Park. Postal addressing systems are able to accommodate the proposed primary and alternate addresses in this instance, and consequently, the U. S. Postal Service has no objections to the resolution. Our only request is that after the resolution is passed, the Buffalo Bisons and other entities at this address use only the new mailing address, not both, and change their next supply of stationery to reflect the change.

COLES- CORRESPONDENCES RE ARCHITECT FOR JSCB PROJECT Dear Mayor Brown: On Friday, May 30, 1 received the attached notice from Trautman Associates; a fifty year old well respected Buffalo based architectural firm and our Associates on the Buffalo Schools Project, stating that we were not selected as Architects on the Phase IV Buffalo Schools Reconstruction project. Having been passed over as Architects for Phases 11 and 111, 1 believe because I criticized the Program Manager, Ciminelli, for proposing to design schools with an out of town architect, Hilliers (see attached letter), this is extremely disappointing, especially after having successfully completed the Phase I Frank A. Sedita Academy. Our firm may not be around for Phase V If there is no resolution to this. This is even more disappointing in that, as a 45 year old Buffalo -based minority owned firm, and as an licensed architect for 50 years, I am the only African - American architect in private practice in the City of Buffalo, and only the second African - American architect who has had a practice in the history of Buffalo, the first being John Brent, described in the attached biography, who designed the now - demolished Michigan Avenue YMCA, the home of black culture in Buffalo for almost a half century. Also disappointing is the fact that many are saying that because of the lack of African - American firms in the area, they will have to start growing them. You don't have to look further than 321 Humboldt Parkway, where my firm is now officed in the contemporary residence that I built in 1961, just around the corner from your residence, and only several blocks from the acclaimed Frank E. Merriweather Library designed by our firm. Because we are an African - American firm, we find it almost impossible to secure commissions in the suburbs, and our work, by necessity, is focused on public, urban projects. Over the years, these have been substantial and have included the Alumni Arena (the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Complex) at the Amherst Campus, and Bacon Hall (the Educational Office Building) at the Buffalo State College Campus. Our Buffalo public school projects include Elementary School 40, considered to be the most energy efficient school in the system; Alterations and Additions to Burgard Vocational High School; Frank A. Sedita Academy; and, in association with Cannon Design, Public School 90, the Charles Drew Early Childhood Center. It takes a long time to grow an architectural firm, African - American or otherwise. The editor of Architectural Record comments on this in the attached editorial, "Room for all our Talents" As the Senior Fellow of the Buffalo Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and recipient of that organization's highest awards, and with 45 years of experience, I am ready to continue to serve this community. I hope that you will assist our firm in doing that. A copy of this letter is being sent to our State Representatives and Associate Superintendent Mel L. Alston, who worked with out firm for ten years. Very Truly yours, Robert T. Coles, FAIA, President REFERRED TO THE MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE SPECIAL COMMITTEE AND JOINT SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION BOARD NO 50 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAPS FOR ERIE COUNTY Dear Mayor Brown: It has been approximately three months since our first letter regarding the adoption of floodplain management regulations to adopt the new Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Erie County. Please be advised that continued eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is contingent upon the City of Buffalo establishing enforceable floodplain management regulations and submission of all required documents. If the new local law is not adopted and received by us, so that we may inform FEMA of your status, by the map's effective date of September 28, 2008, FEMA will suspend your community from the NFIP. FEMA will grant no exceptions to this deadline. In order to avoid any chance of program suspension, we should receive a copy of the adopted local law, filed with the New York State Department of State, along with signed local law filing forms at least one month prior to the map's effective date. An electronic version of the law can be emailed to you if required. So we may update our records, please call and provide a status of your local law within two weeks of this letter. Should you have questions relative to the contents of this letter, or any aspect of the NFIP, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at (518) 402- 8149 Sincerely, Jaime A. Ethier REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION NO 51 R. GONZALES -HOGAN -VISIT TO CITY CLERK'S OFFICE I just wanted to write a short email describing my visit yesterday (June 26, 2008) to the Clerk's office. I had to get a copy of my grandson's birth certificate and dreaded the visit to the 13th floor. Going into the impressive building with the dark lobby and dealing with the bad rep the city has, I was not looking forward to dealing with the apparent beauracracy displayed from the outside. No one at the information booth, the dark interior of the lobby, my 5 year old granddaughter who was with me clutching my hand, we headed up. When we went into the proper office for birth certificates I was impressed with the cordiality of your employees. Everyone was helpful AND efficient and we had the birth certificate in hand in a matter of minutes. We then headed up to the observation deck (which could use some publicity and work) and enjoyed a beautiful view. Please extend my thanks to your staff for a job well done and for helping to erase the trepidations I had before my visit. Richard Gonzalez -Hogan RECEWED AND FILED NO 52 2007 APPLICATION FOR THE SOUTH DISTRICT ROOF REPLACEMENT PROGRAM I would like to file the attached information for the next Common Council meeting to be held on July 8, 2008. Dear South Buffalo Resident: I am pleased to announce that funding for the South Council District Roof Replacement Program has been secured and finalized.

Enclosed please find a South Council District Roof Replacement Program Application. Program terms, including contractor requirements, are noted in this application.

Sincerely, Michael P. Kearns South District Council Member REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE NO 53 THE BUFFALO OLMSTED PARK CONSERVANCY MASTER PLAN Please file the attached Master Plan document that was presented at the Committee on Community Development Special Meeting that was held on Wednesday, June 25, 2008.for the next Council Meeting. Please refer this item to the CD Committee. Thank you. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NO 54 STRENGTHEN BROADWAY MARKET RE: Item 124 CCP June 24, 2008(Strengthen Broadway Market) As and for comments and recommendations to the above -filed item, we make the following: 1. Although the words of support are welcome, the Broadway Market cannot survive without monetary support 2. Therefore, the first priority of any resolution should be establishment of a dedicated funding source for the Broadway Market. These funds then could be properly budgeted to provide opportunities to strengthen the Market's future. In addition any "Task Force" should be created only on the condition that the million - dollar bond be sold and the funds be delivered immediately to the Market. 3. Any Task Force appointment must be neutral without political axes to grind. The current resolution states that David Franczyk as Common Council President would be the sole appointee power. Clearly, Mr. Franczyk has stated his agenda of replacing the current Market Board with his own political appointees. Some of the names put forward by Mr. Franczyk have previous personal problems with the Market. Christopher Byrd resigned from the Board after losing the election for President. Martin Biniasz was removed from the Board from violating the Constitution for missing Board meetings. Greg Olma was part of the Board that sent the Market into nearly $362,000 (three hundred and sixty -two thousand) dollars in debt. In fact Mr. Franczyk was also a Board member on that past discredited Broadway Market Board. 4. Mr. Franczyk's planned "Task Force" does not include any vendors. Last time, Broadway Market vendors were excluded from Broadway Market Management; the Broadway Market was negligently allowed to sink into $362,000 (three hundred and sixty -two thousand) dollars of debt which almost forced the Market to close. 5. Furthermore, the Broadway Market Board has only recently had African - American representatives be appointed to the Market Board. The timing of Mr. Franczyk's resolution seems peculiar since none of his appointees to the Market Board or to his proposed "Task Force" are African - American. 6. The Common Council should not force itself into the City /Market lease negotiations. Lease negotiations are always sensitive under the best of circumstances. Placing the negotiations into the media almost ensures the negotiations not succeeding. Whatever initiatives the Council wishes to accomplish can be achieved without needless involvement in the negotiations. 7. A further priority of any "Task Force" should be to evaluate whether the Market should be moved to the Historic Corridor being created on the Waterfront. At this time, a Market is planned as part of the Waterfront development. Therefore, moving the Market from its current location could be beneficial to all parties and should be considered. RECEIVED AND FILED NO 55 RICHARDSON OLMSTED COMPLEX MASTER PLAN The New York State Urban Development Corporation, d /b /a Empire State Development Corporation ( "ESDC "), proposes to serve as lead agency for the environmental review process to be carried out under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ( "SEQRA ") and its implementing regulations (6NYCRR Part 617) in connection with the development of the Richardson Olmsted Complex Master Plan in Buffalo, New York. The proposed action has been classified as a Type I Action under the implementing regulations for SEQRA, given that in addition to meeting other thresholds, the project site is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places (S /NRHP). It involves the use of funds administered by ESDC to undertake a master plan with the objective of restoring /rehabilitating the Richardson Olmsted Complex (i.e., the former New York State Insane Asylum /Buffalo Psychiatric Center, designed by H.H. Richardson, with grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmsted). A not - for - profit organization, the Richardson Center Corporation (RCC) is spearheading this project (see www.richardson- olmsted.com). RCC is receiving $76.5 million in State funds to assist in its efforts. A portion of these funds have already been provided by ESDC to undertake necessary planning, design, and environmental review efforts. The balance of the project funding would be provided once documentation under SEQRA is completed. The overall master plan process is currently in initial data collection activities such as a structural conditions and historic buildings assessment. A public process will be conducted by RCC to identify and evaluate alterative restoration /reuse scenarios. While the specifics of these efforts are not yet formulated, the master plan would likely call for reuse of all or parts of the complex as a mixed - use, multi - purpose civic campus of public and private activities. In addition, ESDC and RCC are consulting with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation ( "OPRHP ") in accordance with Section 14.09 of the NYS Historic Preservation Act with regard to potential effects to resources on or eligible for inclusion on the S /NRHP. If within thirty (30) days from the mailing of this notification there are no comments, it will be assumed that your agency has no objections to ESDC serving as lead agency for the environmental review of the project.

Assemblyman Sam Hoyt and Olmsted CEO, Thomas Herrera - Mishler, celebrated the long- awaited launch of boats on the Lake. "We want people to enjoy the their parks and this a great way to do it ", said Herrera - Mischler With the energetic efforts of Marti Gorman and her Buffalo Homecoming program, interest in retuning the boats to the lake became a priority. The Conservancy enthusiastically embraced the idea and with the Buffalo State College Maritime Center director, John Montague, arrangements were made to refurbish the boats and bring them back. I am pleased that boating is returning to Hoyt Lake as a recreation option for park visitors, the boats will offer yet another way to experience the beauty of Delaware Park. I know my father would be proud to see boats returning to the waters he worked so hard to conserve, " said Assemblyman Hoyt. The Hoyt Lake is named in honor Sam Hoyt's father, William Ballard Hoyt II, Whose vision, dedication and concern for the environment helped beautify and preserve the lake for the people of Buffalo. He served, as the Delaware District Councilman from 1970 -1974, and New York State Assemblyman from 1975 -1992. The regular summer boating schedule runs Tuesdays — Sundays from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm through August 31. Boats are rented by the Y2 hour or hour for $10 and $15, respectively and are available on a first -come basis. Group reservations may be made by calling 838 -149 ext 11. Street vendors Cool Rayz Italian Ice and Risa's Deli & Catering will be available for park -goers and boat users all summer. The six vintage style, 16 foot boats were designed specifically for the lake by John Montague. They were built by students from the Police Athletic League, (PAL), Maritime Center volunteers and PAL mentors in 2002. Delaware Park is the centerpiece of the 1200 =acre Buffalo Olmsted Park and Parkway System designed by renowned landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted. His vision has to have a park entirely devoted to a natural landscape of rolling meadows, wooded areas penetrated by winding paths, and a large lake perfect for leisurely boat rides. Pictures dating back to the 1870% show the lake filled with rowboats in the summer and ice skaters in the winter. The Conservancy hopes to keep this summertime activity going for years to come as recommended in the recently released Olmsted Park Plan for the 21 sc Century.

F- NO. 127 BY: MR. SMITH CITY OF BUFFALO'S POLICY REGARDING COMPOSTING OF YARD WASTE CLARIFICATION Whereas: The reduction of the amount of solid waste and the conservation ofrec3clable materials are important public concerns; and Whereas The separation and collection of newsprint, paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum containers, metal cans, plastic containers, vegetative yard waste and other material for recycling from residential users in the City, will protect and enhance the City's physical and visual environment, as well as promote the health, safety, and well -being of persons and property within the City by minimizing the potential adverse effects of land filling through the reduction of the need for landfills and conservation of existing landfill capacity, facilitating the implementation and operation of other forms of solid waste management, conserving natural resources and ensuring conformance with New York State Solid Waste Management Plan; and Whereas: The ability to compost yard waste instead of land filling or incineration has been a cornerstone to the Buffalo Recycling Plan since 1988, when the first loads of leaves were delivered to the West Side transfer Station as part of a Pilot composting project; and Whereas Although the public has responded to recycling positively, and has made great efforts to separate recyclable materials, the success of the Squaw Island program indicates that there is no reason for any yard wastes to be mixed in with regular garbage pick -ups and disposed of at great expense to the City; and Whereas: It would be beneficial to the City of Buffalo and its residents to establish clear policies and guidelines for the disposing of compostable yard waste in the City of Buffalo. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved That: the Commissioner of the Department of Public Works review his department's handling of yard waste removal and the policies that are currently in place for yard waste removal and disposal; and Be It Further Resolved; That the Commissioner of Public Works report back to this Common Council by July 17, 2008 with a written policy that will be used by his department for yard waste collection and removal within the City of Buffalo, to clarify for the residents of Buffalo the proper procedure for disposing of yard waste; and Be It Resolved That: The City Clerk is directed to send a copy of this resolution, once adopted to Stephen J.

SMITH AND MR DAVIS NO. 129 TRUANCY ORDINANCE Whereas: Success beyond the completion of a High School Education is highly contingent upon the successful completion of High School; and Whereas: Good attendance establishes a pattern of responsibility and commitment that will serve students throughout their lives - including college and the workplace. In addition, high levels of attendance in school are necessary to the successful completion of school and academic success. and Whereas: It has been found that Truancy is a high indicator of gang involvement including but not limited to loitering, assault, battery, murder, underage drinking, consumption and sale of illegal substance. To that end the residents of the City of Buffalo find problems associated with youth gangs a problem facing the City; and Whereas: The City of Buffalo does not have current legislation to deal with truancy; and Whereas Curbing Truancy would not only increase attendance and thereby increase the student success rate but it would also decrease gang activity and the crimes associated therewith; and Now Therefore, Be It Resolved: That the Common Council adopts the following legislation to deal with the City of Buffalo Truancy problem: Title Truancy Ordinance: For the purposes of this section, "regular school hours" are the hours of the full -time school which the minor would attend in the school district in which the minor resides, on any day for which school is in session, or, if such school in the school district of residence is unknown, "regular school hours' are the school hours of the Buffalo School District on any day for which school is in session.

REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION NO. 130 BY MR SMITH REQUEST NEW YORK STATE TO ISSUE A MORATORIUM ON NEW /ADDLTIONAL LOTTERY OUTLETS IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO AND REVAMP THE PRIZE PAYOUT State Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples, Senator Antoine Thompson and various Community Leaders have called for a moratorium on new lottery outlets and revamping prize payouts; and Critics of the government- operated lottery system claim the lottery pays the least in prizes for the games most popular in the poorest neighborhoods and lottery players in poor, minority neighborhoods generally lose more than other lottery players because they more frequently play online numbers games that, by law, pay out less than the scratch -off tickets popular in other communities and called upon elected officials in government "to look at the numbers and come up with a game plan of how do we inform and protect the weakest in our community "; and In a letter and "Losing by the Numbers," a series in The Buffalo News, Gordon Medenica, Lottery Director, substantiated claims that online numbers games have lower payouts than instant scratch -off games, people in poorer, minority communities play more online numbers games than instant games. The News also found that numbers games accounted for nearly two - thirds of lottery sales at outlets on Buffalo's East Side and an average of 10 lottery outlets per square mile on the East Side, the most in the county; and State law specifies the percent of total sales that must be returned as winnings for each lottery game Now Therefore Be It Resolved That: The Common Council of the City of Buffalo requests the State to issue a moratorium on additional or new lottery outlets in the City of Buffalo as well as an investigation, overhaul and equalization of the prize payout rates. Be It Further Resolved That: A copy of this resolution is sent to all members in the Western New York State Delegation. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NO. 131 BY MR SMITH JUDGE RULES AGAINST SENECA NATION ON BUFFALO CASINO SKRETNY SAYS CASINO GAMBLING CANNOT LEGALLY TAKE PLACE ON MICHIGAN AVE. SITE MICHAEL BEEBE NEWS STAFF REPORTER UPDATED: 07108/08 3:01 PM A federal judge today ruled against the Seneca Nation's Buffalo Creek Casino, saying that casino gambling cannot legally take place on the nine -acre site on Michigan Avenue. U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny, in a 127 -page decision, vacated the earlier decision by the commissioner of the National Indian Gaming Commission to allow gambling. It was not immediately clear whether Skretny's ruling will halt construction on the $333 million permanent casino, but it is clear that the temporary casino no longer has the legal right to operate. Skretny ruled that the parcel is indeed Indian country. "However, the court finds that the (National Indian Gaming Commission's) July 2, 2007, determination that the Buffalo parcel is gaming - eligible ... is arbitrary, capricious and not in accordance with the law." The Senecas have operated a small temporary Buffalo Creek Casino in a blue metal building on the nine -acre site since July 3, 2007. It was the third Seneca casino, following openings in Niagara Falls and on the Allegany territory in Salamanca. Late last month, the Senecas issued an update to their 2005 study of the tribe's effect on the local economy, mostly through gambling. They cited 1,100 new jobs and said the Senecas are pumping more money into Western New York than the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres combined. Despite the lack of amenities, more than 400,000 people have come to the temporary casino to gamble while work continues on construction of its larger $333 million permanent casino and hotel. The temporary casino opened after Philip N. Hogan, chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission gave the go- ahead, and Senecas moved slot machines into the building in the dead of night. The question answered in today's ruling is whether the land on Michigan Avenue, bought by the Senecas in 2005, — ttp: / /www. printthis. c— ickabi— ity.c— m /pt /cpt ?a— ti —n =cpt &title =Judge +rules +against +Seneca +Nati —n... 7/8/2008 legally considered sovereign Seneca territory. The lawsuit claimed the Senecas can only operate a casino on land considered sovereign, The land was purchased with funds from the 1990 Seneca Nation Land Claims Settlement Act, which settled the question of longterm leases in the city of Salamanca. The Senecas said the settlement act gave them the right to expand their territory. John J. LaFalce, who co -wrote the legislation while a congressman, said the act never was intended to legitimize gambling casinos off the reservation. While the Senecas are not a party to the federal lawsuit -- Citizens for a Better Buffalo is pitted against the U.S. Justice Department -- they filed motions as a friend of the court. The Senecas argue that treaties, federal law, state law and past court rulings say the federal agency was correct in saying the casino could operate there. "(We) will continue to aggressively challenge anyone who attempts to limit or misinterpret our tribal sovereignty for their own gain or agenda," Seneca President Maurice A. John Sr. said in November 2007. Cornielius D. Murray, the Albany attorney representing Citizens for a Better Buffalo, has repeatedly warned the Senecas that the they are building the new casino at their own risk. "While there is no dispute that the Senecas own the land," Murray said in response to John, "mere possession of title does not give them the right to violate the laws of the state unless they can prove that the land is no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the state of New York." "Soverignity and title are not the same thing," Murray argued. "There are compelling legal arguments that Congress never intended to carve out a parcel of property in the heart of a maj or American city and designate it as "Indian land." Erie County was originally part of the suit, saying the casino would be an economic drain on the local economy, but County Executive Chris Collins dropped the lawsuit after he took office. Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown is also a supporter of the Buffalo Creek Casino and, like Mayor Anthony M. Masiello before him, argues that the casino will help revitalize Buffalo. "The nation has proven itself as a very important part of our local economy," Brown said. Citizens for a Better Buffalo is led by its president, Diane Bennett, a retired attorney, and includes public officials, religious leaders and community activists. The group is largely funded by the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation. The Baird Foundation and a private donors have also helped fund the lawsuit, which has cost more than $1 million. The nation and its gambling arm have invested nearly $27 million to date on land acquisition, planning and construction of its Buffalo venue. More than $10 million of that went into the original construction, and then expansion, of the temporary slots -only casino that opened last July. In documents filed with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, the Senecas estimated another $10.8 million on site preparation and construction of the permanent casino through the end of March. Other major expenditures include: $2.7 million for acquisition of the properties along Michigan Avenue that compose the nine -acre sovereign territory, plus another $631,000 to buy a one -block section of Fulton Street from the city. The street formerly bisected the casino site. The gambling corporation has also acquired three other nearby properties, spending another $1.7 million. The temporary casino, which opened with 109 slot machines a year ago, was expanded to accommodate 244 http: / /www. printthis .clickabiIity.c— m /pt /cpt ?actin =cpt &title =Judge +rules +against +Seneca +Nati —n... 7/8/2008 machines. In its first six months of operations, it generated more than $12 million in revenues. In June 2006, the Senecas unveiled designs for a $125 million permanent casino, then upped the ante in October 2007 with blueprints for a $333 million casino complex. It's billed as the largest privately- funded construction project in Buffalo's history. Plans call for a 22 -story, 206 suite hotel tower, to complement a 90,000- square -foot casino, with 2,000 slot machines and some 45 table games. The complex would also house four restaurants, a spa and include a 2,500 - vehicle parking deck. The facility is expected to employ more than 1,000 and generate some $7 million a year in revenues to the host community. Buffalo and Erie County are squabbling over each's share. Construction crews have been installing pilings and foundations since early February, and the first load of structural steel was due for delivery in the next two weeks.
