PASSED AYES -13 NOES -0 FROM THE OFFICE OF CITIZEN SERVICES NO. 6 MONTHLY REPORT FROM THE DIVISION OF CITIZEN SERVICES (MAYOR'S COMPLAINT HOT LINE AKA HELP LINE JUNE, 2002 Dear Members of Buffalo's Common Council: Attached for your information is the monthly report of service calls processed by the Division of Citizen Services for June 2002 June concludes the second fiscal year of the division's existence. Of particular interest is a comparison of the calls for the fiscal years of 2001 and 2002. Service calls for 2002, totaled 37,698 verses 37,086 for 2001 a modest increase of less than 2 %. Comparisons of major categories are: 2001 2002 %chan2e • Housing violations 6,596 5,948 -9.8% • Police calls 721 625 -13% • Legal claims 321 450 +27% (Increase primarily due to December record snow fall of 7+ feet) • Forestry 1,956 1,892 -3.3% • Garbage calls 8,757 6090 -30.5% • Tote requests 7,433 8,258 +10% (Increase due to first full year of program services - includes size changes, stolen totes and broken totes). • Rodents 766 297 -61.2% • Recycles calls 993 723 -27.2% it is very notable to acknowledge the significant decreases in calls relating to services provided by the Division of Streets and Sanitation, where rodent calls decreased by over 60 %; garbage collection by over 30 %; and recycle calls by over 27 %. Although lot maintenance calls are a hot topic, a review of calls pertaining to vacant lots, not listed, appeared to be about the same over the past two years, even with the city's record Spring rainfall. The biggest obstacles in reducing calls pertaining to maintenance of vacant lots are the need for more grass cutting equipment by the Division of Streets and Sanitation and the need to have Private lot owners maintain their lots. The city is attempting to get HUD approval to use CDBG dollars to buy grass cutting equipment and the city has increased costs for private lot owners from $52.50 to $2 10. - if the city cuts their lots. Subsequently, if the city can purchase more grass cutting equipment and private lot owners become more responsible, through the sting of much higher charges - more progress and a realistic maintenance schedule can be developed. Finally, the division's analysis of calls between 2001 and 2002, shows significant improvement in all city services, based upon service calls received. Fiscal year 2003, will provide another opportunity for the Division of Citizen Services to become more sophisticated in tracking and reporting services calls, as it works with all city departments and the Common Council, always striving to improve the delivery of city services. I hope that this information is useful.

JULY 9, 2002 Item #72, C.C.P. July 9, 2002, "Concerns -# of People in Martha Mitchell Youth Challenge Programs ". There are many small classes throughout the District funded by Federal and State Reduced Class Size Grants. I responded directly to the members of the Martha Mitchell Community Center on July 9, 2002. The text of the letter follows: Thank you for writing to me concerning the issue of class size in the Buffalo Public Schools. As the Superintendent of Buffalo Public Schools, I understand your concerns regarding over crowded classrooms. I have long been a proponent of reduced class sizes because I know that children learn best when the class size is 20 or less. Research also supports the benefits of smaller learning communities in each classroom. However, given the current budget problems facing the Buffalo Public Schools, it is not possible to reduce class sizes for the coming school year. Despite the support received from the New York State Delegation, the district had to eliminate over $25 million in staffing and programs for the 2002 -03 school year. This is on top of the $28 million, which was taken from the 2001 -02 school year. Our entire region and state is facing fiscal problems of monumental proportions. You can help the situation by writing to Congressmen, Senators and the President asking for additional support for the BPS. If enough money is provided for this purpose by the Federal Government, I would be happy to grant your request. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with me. Have an enjoyable summer. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.

NO. 72 INFO. - GENERAL MANAGER I am writing to introduce myself as the General Manager for the Adelphia cable system serving the Buffalo area, including the City of Buffalo. As a native of Western New York (WNY), I was delighted to be given the opportunity to return to Buffalo to work for Adelphia Communications. I chose to join Adelphia because of the strength of its assets and the fact that it is a fundamentally sound business. Prior to joining Adelphia, I worked in the cable industry for 15 years. I have spent the last 9 years in Central Illinois, where I was responsible for a cable operation that served more than 124,000 customers and 25 local franchising authorities. As General Manager, I report directly to Mr. Thomas Haywood, VP of Operations for the Great Lakes Region. Although you have and will continue to work most directly with Tom, I am happy to assist you with any operational or customer service issues you may encounter. Please feel free to contact me directly, or refer customers to me, at 5 -58 -8545. 1 look forward to working for Adelphia as we continue to supply reliable, quality service to all of our customers in WNY. If you have any questions regarding our service, I would encourage you to contact either Tom or myself. RECEIVED AND FILED. NO. 73 B.

LEADER - PURCHASE 707 WASHINGTON I wish to purchase the property at 707 Washington Street for the expansion of my business. The matter was discussed on July 16, 2002 at the Finance Committee meeting and is being sent to the Buffalo Common Council on July 23, 2002 for consideration. Due to the limited time, no decision was reached by the Finance Committee. There were many speakers, all from the Fire Department, who expressed interest in keeping this underutilized building. I listened closely, because what is of utmost importance is the safety of the City. If it was in the City's interest to rehabilitate and reuse this property for some definite function that could not be performed elsewhere, that is what should be done. While their concerns and wishes were well presented, I did not hear any compelling ideas that could not also be performed in other empty City buildings. Listed are the highlights that seemed pertinent to me and my business. 1 . Commissioner Worthy estimated between $350,000 to $500,000 to rehabilitate this building. While I am not a contractor, from past experience (like the Apollo Theater and the two new Police Stations), that seems like a modest sum to meet the City's standards. There are asbestos tiles on the floor and some asbestos on the roof (so I was told by Carmody Roofing). This building has been vacant for over 6 years. The roof is in need of repair and the mortar needs repointing. If this building is not maintained properly, I am sure that the sum needed to reuse it will increase just from more deterioration. The commissioner is now in favor of the sale. 2. The most compelling discussion was from a gentleman from the Haz -Mat Unit of the Fire Department. He stated that last year there was money in their budget that could have been used to reuse this building. If this was really THE NEED, the money would have been used for that purpose. In the discussion, it was determined that there are other options open. It is always good to have ideas, but it is action that counts. Is the City ready to get into action to invest and rehabilitate this building NOW? 3. Mr. John Hannon, Director of Real Estate, brought up that a fire study was done over 6 years ago when it was determined to close two stations and build a new station at Elmwood and Virginia. He also stated that both stations were to be sold (this and one on Jersey). The one on Jersey was sold at that time. If the decision to sell the building on Washington Street was made 6 years ago, why not sell it now? It has sat empty and even had boats and cars stored in it until it was partially used for the Physical Agility Tests. That need is minimal now, as there are only 15 tests left. Printing Prep needs a location close to its present location to function properly. Our business needs to expand in order to stay alive. If it was possible, all operations would fit into our present building. Our business at present is soft, and will stay soft without investment. It is my intention to get this business going again with new equipment, to try to turn it over to the employees to manage (and eventually own), and for me to partially retire. I have put a deposit on a machine that is bleeding edge technology. It will be the second machine to be installed in the world. If successful, it will enhance our company and allow us to get work from outside New York State. We are willing to make the investment if we can get a building to meet our needs. Time is of the essence. The machine will be ready to install in September. If we wait too long, we will lose our edge. We are not asking the City to give us anything. We are willing to pay the price that was determined by a City- approved appraiser. To me, it seems like a win -win. The City relieves itself of a building. The responsibility for maintenance becomes Printing Prep's. Jobs will be added in the City. A company is allowed to stay in Buffalo and hopefully continue to flourish in the City. Printing Prep was started in Buffalo in 1968 by me. It will remain in Buffalo as Icing as I am in charge. I am a lifelong supporter and live in North Buffalo, which is where I was born. I am a product of the Buffalo Public School system and learned to love my trade at Bennett High School. Though at times I get very discouraged with some of the actions in this. City, I intend to always be a resident of Buffalo and to support this City. I do not believe in confrontation but will be outspoken to protect my City. The City has been so helpful in my pursuit to keep my business viable in Buffalo. All the support I have received, from New York State Senator Byron Brown, the BERC, the Mayor and his staff, and Council Member Brian Davis has been fantastic. I would appreciate your considering to add your support to my request to purchase 707 Washington Street. If you wish, I would be honored to give you a tour of Printing Prep. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. RECEIVED AND FILED. NO. 76 B. DAVIS -P. GALVIN- INCLUDE LOCATIONS IN SPECIAL DISTRICT VENDING PROGRAM On Friday, July 12, 2002, five city licensed hot dog vendors were shut down in the Chippewa Entertainment District. The reason given by officials was that these spots were not designated city vending sites in the Special Downtown District Vending Program. Over the past six years, I have worked the Chippewa strip with the consent of property owners and the appropriate health and vendor permits without any problems. This approach has been the precedent with the other licensed vendors. Many patrons and visitors to the city have stated to me that the hot dog vendors add charm to the atmosphere of the Chippewa 9trip. We have received numerous compliments about our service to the community. On July 12, while speaking with Councilman Brian Davis, Patrick Sole, Supervisor of City Licenses and Morgan Smith, an official from Buffalo Place, Morgan suggested that the other licensed vendors and I apply for an annual site permit in the Special District Vending Program for the five locations we currently work. He went on to say these sites would have to be approved by the Common Council. I agree with this approach to set up these five locations under the Downtown Special District Vending Program. However, I am fearful that the two out of the five locations I have established and worked diligently at for the past several years may be lost to me if an open lottery system occurs. I imagine my three colleagues share my concern. Therefore, I propose the Common Council approve the five sites and place them on the Downtown Special District Vending Map, designating these sites to the vendors who are currently working these sites. I have been a food vendor in the City of Buffalo for the past 11 years. I have been able to pay my way through college and buy a home in the city where my family and I reside. Currently, I employ others who have families; and attend school in our city. Many people's futures are at stake. We are all living in difficult financial times. We need to have the Common Council act immediately on this issue. We city - licensed vendors, with little warning' have been put out of work temporarily until this issue is resolved. By the Common Council's quick action on this issue, we can have two positive outcomes. First, having jobs restored. Secondly, creating more monies for our city by requiring licensed vendors to pay for the site permits. Council member, we are asking you to stand behind the hard working men and woman who have families and act quickly to restore our jobs. Please contact me at the above phone number. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. RECEIVED AND FILED. NO. 77 B. DAVIS -2002- 2003 SPECIAL DISTRICT VENDING SITES Copy on file in City Clerk's Office.

Ms. Middlebrooks is expressing her concerns in regards to her newly purchased home in the City of Buffalo. I am writing this letter because of my discouragement here in the city of Buffalo. I purchased a new home in Buffalo in the Fruitbelt area against the wishes of my family and friends in December 2001. My boyfriend also purchased a new home in March 2000 in the Frultbelt area. I have been loyal to the city and feel I am a valued tax - paying citizen who in return is receiving unfair unjust treatment. I have called the Mayor's complaint line to many times to count since the purchase of my home to complain about issues that do not seem to get any better. The curb in front of my home at 114 Locust Street is broken and barely existent. There is mud and dirt run off leading into the drain next to my home and clogging it up. I spoke with the head of that department and he stated he rode past my home saw the damage but could not tell me when the curb could be addressed and it would be a costly project. I have three trees on the city owned property right next to my home, which I have been homesteading because the city has cut the grass once since I've lived in my home. The three trees have huge branches hanging right over my roof and a branch fell on my roof over the winter. I spoke with the head of that department on numerous times and he told me he has rode past my home and knows the trees are in bad shape and all three trees should be removed but the money is not in the budget at this time. I have called the complaint line about the abandoned house behind my house that people use as a drug house. I have been told it is scheduled for demolition but no one knows when. I understand the city is in a financial crunch I have been patient with the city and a stark advocate of living in the city and enjoying what the city has to offer. Unfortunately at this time my patience is wearing thin and surrounding suburbs are looking much more appealing. I ask for your assistance to have these items be addressed promptly.

MYLES, SR.- TREATMENT OF HOMEOWNERS — FRUITBELT AREA -57 PEACH I hereby submit for filing copies of a letter from Quincy Myles Sr. Mr. Myles is expressing his concerns in regards to the treatment of homeowners in the Fruitbelt area of the City of Buffalo. I am writing this letter because I am very disappointed with the treatment of new homeowners 'in the Fruit Belt area. Other homeowners and myself face a great deal of challenges of owning a home for the first time, but we also face a great deal of challenges dealing with the city of Buffalo. I invested a great deal of money and risk owning a new home in areas in the first stages of development. I would like the city to assure me that I am being part of the solution and not the problem. On March 22, 2000 1 closed on my house on 57 Peach Street. In November 2000 a tree branch fell on my house doing $300.00 of damage to my gutters, I called the mayor's complaint line and informed them. The city came and cut down the tree early spring 200 1. In the process of the city cutting down the tree, they cracked my sidewalk and dug a hole in front of my house. I called the mayor's complaint line again and I was told that the city would come back and repair the damages. Now, I applauded the mayor's complaint line for responding to the dead tree in a timely manner. But, I was very disappointed how they handled my crack sidewalk and hole in front of my house. It is now 2002 and I have not heard anything from the city regarding the damages of my gutters or my sidewalk. I feel very discourage living in the city because, any problems that involve the city I am alone in trying to get it resolved. I should not have to feel this way because I pay property taxes, I work and shop in the city. I am one of the few recent grads that did not leave the city of Buffalo. I feel the cost of living is affordable and the development is a positive step in improving the Eastside image. So please give me some assistance on how to work with the city to get my problems solved. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE AND THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS NO. 85 C. FISHER -B.

GOERGEN - OSMOSE -FACT SHEET -FINAL PHASE -980 ELLICOTT The Executive Board of the Buffalo Fire Historical Society would like to thank the Common Council for allowing us time to discuss the "Fire House" matter at our General Meeting on July 17, 2002. However, we voted not to continue our interest in the "Fire House" at Washington and Tupper. There were many reasons, but cost of the repairs was the primary reason. Please keep us informed of any other buildings that may be available. We may be interested in bringing our Museum downtown if the City would offer us a suitable building at a nominal fee. Our belief is that we have much to offer the City in its quest for Downtown Re- Vitalization. Our Fire Museum is worth a fortune in artifacts and memorabilia. It is interesting and educational. It is this "Opportunity" that we offer to the City of Buffalo. Buffalo would benefit greatly if our Fire History was brought to the center of the City. Children would learn adults would be interested and tourists would be fascinated. This would also enhance Fire Safety. The Buffalo Fire Historical Society could join the many other attractions, the Naval Park, Studio Arena, Sports Arena, Canal Area, Transportation Museum, Lower Lakes Marine, Roosevelt Site and many other institutions. On behalf of the Executive Board, I would like to invite all members of the Common Council to visit the Fire Museum anytime. Just call and we will make arrangements to give you a tour.

ATT: Betty Jean Grant & Mayor of Buffalo 06/01/02 Concerning the residents of Flower Street 'in the University District. We the people of Flower street demand new renovations to be done to the street. We have no curbs from 70 Flower to the end, and 'in some areas of the street the black top is broken into the center of the street. Furthermore houses 79 -85 -89 and 93 had in their contracts, to have new curbs and street when built 40 years ago. This demand for a new street comes from the lack of maintenance over the last 30 years, as far as the homeowners that have been here that long, they say the city paved only up to 70 flower and stopped. And ever since that, all the city has done is Just patched some spots on the street. It -maybe very important to know that this letter comes from a lack of return phone contact over the last two years. In addition the deterioration of the street maybe the cause of mechanical problems on some of the residents vehicles. As a courtesy, the Flower Street residents would appreciate it if someone from the city could please contact us in regards to this letter.

COPPOLA POLICE SERVICE WITHIN THE CITY OF BUFFALO Whereas: The City of Buffalo Police Department is experiencing staffing shortages due to the city's current financial constraints, and Whereas: Although it is often said that the department and its personnel, non - uniformed included, are the victims of budgetary cuts, and rightfully so, other victims of such cuts are the residents and taxpayers of the City of Buffalo; and Whereas: City of Buffalo residents fall victim to budgetary cuts when services are diminished and strategies are not put in place or working sufficiently to mitigate the impact of budget cuts on services; and Whereas: Police services are of the most critical services to the City of Buffalo, its residents, visitors, and businesses, and Whereas: When the above stakeholders lose, or begin to lose confidence in the city's ability to keep order, mitigate crime, and above all, preserve the quality of life, severe repercussions can emerge, and Whereas: Repercussions will include, but are not limited to, city residents relocating outside of the city limits, loss of businesses through closing or other related reasons, further decay of the city's tax base, and ultimately further budget cuts" and Whereas: Although it is fully appreciated and understood that in this time of financial crisis the city is forced to find ways to save money through cutting expenses, it must be acknowledged that in departments such as police, the ends may riot justify the means and Whereas: Since the inception of the 2002 -2003 budget on July 1, 2002, there has been repeated concerns to response time to 911 calls, as well as, sufficient response to non - emergency concerns that require police action and /or attention; and Whereas: The Commissioner of Police, his deputies, and chiefs have been very accommodating in responding to the council regarding these concerns before and during the budget process; and Whereas: It is understood that their policing strategy for the city seems to be a "work in progress," in particular as it relates to the budgetary constraints in the department, further discussion of this issue is necessary. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That this resolution be sent to the Police Reorganization Committee for the purpose of discussion with the Commissioner of Police and his staff at a September meeting.
