residential neighborhood.

th
As I wrote in a July 7filing with Your Honorable Body, Rosa Gibson was one of our city's leading National Night Out advocates,
a champion of strengthening our residential neighborhoods and one of Buffalo's great Community activists. To honor her
unwavering commitment to the City of Buffalo, our neighborhoods and our residents, I will dedicate this year's National Night Out
in the memory of Rosa Gibson.
In addition to that tribute to Rosa Gibson, I believe it is fitting that the City of Buffalo honor her memory and legacy as one of our
City's great Community activists. Therefore, I respectfully request that Your Honorable Body authorize the placement of
trailblazing signs on Wohlers Avenue between Northampton and Dodge Streets in honor of Rosa Gibson, near the community
garden she developed with such love and dedication and the Community Action Information Center.

As per the provisions of SEQR, the Lead Agency has reviewed the following action as it relates to the environment:
City of Buffalo Bailey/Kensington Fire Station-Engine 23
3226 Bailey Avenue
Type of Action: Unlisted- Uncoordinated
Description; Sfieglitz Snyder Architecture on behalf of The Buffalo Fire department and the Department of Public Works, Parks
& Streets is proposing the construction of e Fire Station located at Bailey Avenue, Buffalo New York. The Fire Station is a
3226
single level structure with a small mezzanine level [n the apparatus bay. A center two-aided glass atrium defines the location of
the stair which accesses the mezzanine level The apparatus bay has a sloping root and all other roof areas are fiat. The size of
the house is approximately ten thousand square feet (10,000 sq. ft.). The structure maximum height is 32'0". An existing single
level structure about 5,000 sq. ft. in size will be demolished and cleared. Engine #23 is a professional Fire Station with sleeping,
dining and working areas. The apparatus room ids designed to hold two Fire Engines. The exterior materials of the new building
are brick, architectural glass and wood details. The ' central glass atrium rises above the lower roof level but terminates below the
upper sloping roof. The center area, which acts to separate the apparatus bay from the support areas, will not be tinted but will
have the appearance of translucent]frosted glass. A continuous western red cedar wood trellis is attached to the exterior front
facade of the support areas. The same matsdal is also used at the exterior-rear of the building but as a pergola that shelters a
patio area. The wood detail will be finished with a clear coat sealer. The site will be fully landscaped and a low bench wall will be
built parallel to Bailey Avenue which will partially screen the parking areas and add a linear emphasis to the project. The parking
areas are designed to accommodate 13 vehicles including two handicapped spaces. A privacy fence separates this property from
the neighboring properties to the west and a ornamental fence provides separation at the north.
The project is a City of Buffalo sponsored and funded in the amount of 3,000,000 dollars.
As e result of this Environmental Review, the Lead Agency has determined the undertaking of this action will not have a
significant adverse affect on the quality of the environment. No further environmental review of this action will be conducted prior
to project implementation and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Reasons Supporting This Determination: The facts and reasons for this decision are as follows: The project will produce short
term construction jobs, The neighboring community and residents will be provided improved fire services, an neighborhood
eyesore/vacant building will be removed, and the Firefighiters will be afforded the opportunity of work in an environment that is
conducive to maintaining modern fire services in the local area. The identified potential negative impacts appear to be primarily
short-tarm site preparation and construction related activities, and do not appear to be significant in magnitude or effect. There
are no actions, which wilt have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

CITYWIDE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA PROJECT DONATIONS FROM PRIVATE [AND PUBLIC ENTITIES)
As your Honorable Body is aware, the City of Buffalo, through its Department of Police, has embarked on a city-wide video
surveillance camera project that you recently approved the expansion through Phase II.
Along with the City's purchase of cameras, various community entities have purchased the same cameras (with their own funds)
that are currently being installed throughout the City, and these cameras provide PTZ video that streams into the existing Buffalo
Police Camera Room located within Police Headquarters at 74 Franklin Street. This private/public partnership sends a strong
message within Buffalo's neighborhoods that our community is working together as a united front in order to strengthen our crime
fighting efforts throughout our municipality.
As such, it has been recommended that in order to keep these cameras integrated within the Buffalo System, that the
maintenance and upkeep become part of the city-wide wireless initiative. Both the University of Buffalo (5 cameras) and the
YMCA Buffalo Niagara (1 camera) have requested that the cameras they have purchased are donated back to the City as gifts
toward public safety improvement, and in doing so, the continued upkeep and maintenance, along with the ownership for these
six (6) cameras, become the responsibility of the City through its already existing and expanding City-wide video surveillance
st
camera project. This effort will enable our 1responders to have real-time access video in both emergency and criminal
situations from other areas within our City as we encourage the growth and participation of this crime stopping strategy from a
diverse group of partners.
We ask your Honorable Body for permission to accept these camera donations as gifts and assume responsibility for their
continued operation.
Thank you and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Captain Mark Makowski who spearheads this initiative at
851-5643.

OLMSTED PARKS
CONSERVANCY
COMMENTS ITEM #114CCP 7/7/09)
"ELIMINATING DAMAGE TO CITY PARKS"
To the Buffalo Common Council,
The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy is very much in favor of the above referenced Common Council Resolution. Damage to
the parks comes in the way of graffiti, unauthorized parking and driving on the grass, criminal mischief, litter of all kinds, and
public urination among other things. The Conservancy would welcome both an increased Police presence in the late afternoon
and evening hours as park usage generally peaks during those hours along with the use of cameras. This would also be welcome
on the weekends and during special events.
We would like to see greater use of bicycle, mounted, and the electric cart patrols in the parks. Several areas, including the lake
side of the Marcy Casino in Delaware Park, cannot be viewed from the access roads, so cameras in strategic places would be
helpful.
There are several instances that could be cited which would support the resolution. The Conservancy is grateful to the Buffalo
Common Council for recognizing this issue and seeking solutions through this resolution.
Respectfully,
REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE

M. KEARNS-NEWS ARTICLE CITY HALL E MAILS ASK STAFF TO ASSIST BROWN NEWS CAMPAIGN
Dear Mr. Coppola:
Enclosed, please find a recent Buffalo News article reporting on a series o£ emails sent by the City's Commissioner of
Community Services & Recreational Programming, Tanya Perrin-Johnson, to her staff, stating her expectation that they work on
the re-election campaign of Mayor Byron Brown.
Emails sent by the Commissioner clearly and specifically state times, dates, events and places that those who work in the City's
Dept. of Community Services & Recreational Programming are expected to attend / work as part of the Mayor's re-election
campaign. As reported by the Buffalo News, the text of these emails served explicit notice from the Commissioner to those that
worked within her Dept. that their services were "needed minimally 8 hours per week" on the Mayor's re-election campaign, that
they were expected to work a specified four-hour shift at Mayor Brown's re-election campaign headquarters during the week on
"the department's night at campaign headquarters," and that that they were expected to work an additional 4 hours on the Mayor's
campaign on the weekend.
Revealingly, the Commissioner's emails direct those in the Dept. of Community Services & Recreational Programming who may
be unable to work on the Mayor's re-election effort at the times and dates specified to "please notify myself and Dana Bobinchek
at the email above and accommodations will be made for you to make up the time during the week."
In sending these emails, the Commissioner, and quite possibly by implication Mayor Brown himself, appear to be in clear violation
of the City's Code of Ethics and other applicable City
"For the People"
ordinances that prohibit political solicitation. If working on the Mayor's re-election campaign were voluntary, why would someone
who works in the Dept. of Human Services need to "make up" time if they were unable to appear at the times and dates specified
by the Commissioner of the Dept? If working on the Mayor's campaign were voluntary, why would a Commissioner be informing
those that work beneath her that they are expected to appear at a "Department Night" at the Mayor's re-election headquarters? If
campaigning for the Mayor were voluntary, why would those working within a Department be notified by a Commissioner that if
they CANNOT appear at an assigned date and time, that they must notify the Mayor's Special Assistant?
Clearly, these emails were meant to "coerce" those employed by a City Dept. to work on the Mayor's re-election campaign. As
reported by the Buffalo News, this raises potential violations of City Code Section 24-22 and City Code of Ethics Section 12-14,
both of which are reprinted by attachment, in addition to applicable State law.
The Buffalo News article is especially alarming in that the individuals involved do not deny that the reported events occurred; to
the contrary - they have been acknowledged and labeled as non-problematic.
I, and many others, are troubled by the insensitivity and cavalier attitude of certain Mayoral Appointees who seem to have no
knowledge of the City Charter and Code, appear to lack a moral barometer, and fail to display the ethical behavior that is expected
of a person in a high supervisory capacity, which at a minimum includes the ability to distinguish fight from wrong.
For these reasons, I must request that the City Board of Ethics undertake an immediate review of this matter and file their
findings with the City of Buffalo Common Council as soon as possible. In that the violation of City Code Section 24-22 is a
misdemeanor, I am also forwarding this matter to the appropriate legal authorities for their review.
As both a City taxpayer and the elected representative of the South Common Council District, I abhor the conduct that has been
reported. We deserve better of those who have been placed in position of trust and confidence by the taxpayers of this City. I
anxiously await your response and recommendations for strengthening the City Charter and Code to preclude a reoccurrence of
such acts.

REFERENCE: BUFFALO NEWS ARTICLE - CITY HALL E-MAILS ASK STAFF TO ASSIST BROWN CAMPAIGN
I am forwarding the matter referenced herein to your attention so as to file a formal complaint with the Commission on Public
Integrity.
I bring to your attention what I believe to be a serious violation of City of Buffalo, and most likely New York State, ethics laws
pertaining to certain political activities and improper influence. Enclosed, please find a recent Buffalo News article reporting on a
series of emails sent by the City of Buffalo's Commissioner of Community Services & Recreational Programming, Tanya Perrin-
Johnson, to her staff, stating her expectation that they work on the re-election campaign of City of Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.
Also enclosed for your reference, is a copy of a letter that has been delivered to Douglas S. Coppola, Esq., Chairman of the City
of Buffalo's Board of Ethics, requesting that they review this matter, as well as copies of the applicable sections of City of Buffalo
Charter and Code and New York State Civil Service Law, that appear to have been violated.
The attachments are self-explanatory, and detail what appears to be an egregious violation of the ethical standard that public
officials must observe. If left unaddressed, such violations threaten to severely jeopardize public trust and confidence in
government.

M KEARNS-CONCERNS-NFTA SALE OF PLANNED ROW SOUTHTOWNS CORRIDOR
Mayor Byron W. Brown
Office of the Mayor for the City of Buffalo
City Hall - Room 201
65 Niagara Square
Buffalo, N.Y. 14202
Dear Mayor Brown:
As reported in a Buffalo Evening News article on July 5, 2009, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority ("NFTA') is seeking
bids to sell the planned right of way for the Southtowns Corridor of an extended Metro Rail Route.
Gladys Gifford, president of the Citizens Regional Transit Corporation ("CRTC') and Seth C. Triggs, the group's vice president,
spoke before the Common Council Committee on Transportation on July 15, 2009 to explain why the right of way is important to
the City of Buffalo's future.
The CRTC representatives emphasized the importance of keeping the Southtowns corridor right of-way under the control of the
NFTA for future Buffalo Metro Rail expansion. I, and many others including the CRTC, believe that the NFTA's planned sale of
the property comprising this corridor is an extremely short sighted policy because:
• During the 1990's, more jobs were lost in Buffalo than in any urban area of its size in the
U.S. and rail extensions have proven to be a powerful economic development tool.
An expanded Metro Rail would lessen the need for new highways, decrease reoccurring
maintenance costs and discourage urban sprawl.
The Obama administration is encouraging "green" transportation infrastructure
installations and improvements that add value to communities. This would help the city "go green" by reducing emissions from
road vehicles which pollute our air to dangerous levels.
Due to the urgency of this matter, I respectfully request that you and your planning staff review the City of Buffalo's position with
respect to the NFTA's planned sale of the Southdown's Corridor right of way.
In closing I advocate that the City of Buffalo request of the NFTA to abandon its plans to sell the corridor recognizing that long
term planning is much more important than a one-time revenue budget balancer and I look forward to your explanation of the
City's position in this matter.

M. KEARNS-QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES
I would like to file the attached information for the next Common Council Meeting to be held on July 21, 2009
Hello-
I wrote an e-mail using the City of Buffalo online site July 5, and haven't heard back since. So I thought MAYBE you might be
interested, or could forward this e-mail to the appropriate party.
We bought our home on beautiful McKinley Parkway in South Buffalo almost 4 years ago. I was surprised, the first July 4th
holiday, that fireworks were permitted (actually, residents detonate them from Memorial Day past July 4th around here). There is
a police station just a couple of blocks away, so it is common knowledge that fireworks are accepted. We resigned ourselves to
the fact that that must be the norm. Annoying. YES. Illegal. Apparently not. But we've resigned ourselves to it.
This year was, by any sane person's standard, absolutely OVER THE TOP!!! The firecrackers began in the afternoon, and
continued. We could not even have our own company in the backyard, as bottle rockets kept whizzing by our heads! From some
neighbors on McKinley over to Eaglewood. Back & Forth. After enough of that, my husband called the police station. They took
his complaint and did nothing. At 7:00 pm I went in the house with our petrified dogs and holed up in a bedroom with the air
conditioning & TV on - trying to drown out the sound.
Oh but it gets, incredibly, much worse. After building a scaffolding on their front lawn earlier in the day, the people at 625
McKinley set off what looked like PROFESSIONAL FIREWORKS! This midnight show was well attended by small children
sitting feet away on the sidewalk. I could not believe what I was seeing. Our houses are close together (and wood framed!) and
this was going on right outside my window! OUTRAGEOUS!! In the city limits! Oh and the gunpowder residue came in through
the a/c unit, too.
Then came the 2:30am show.
All the while, by the way, it was like Baghdad in the neighborhood. Eaglewood fireworks were nonstop. My husband called the
police a 2nd time, and was asked "what, do you want to make a complaint?" He said yes, but no officer ever arrived. I guess it
went by way of his first complaint. We are not high-maintenance people, here. We are not fun-suckers. We could have bought a
home almost anywhere, and we chose the city of Buffalo. I am active on the McKinley Parkway Homeowners Association, and
strive for a high quality of life all along McKinley Parkway. July 4th was absolutely, inarguably, over the top. The non-stop
nightlong fireworks are bad enough, but that scaffolding/display was the likes I've never seen in a residential neighborhood.
When the street fight started at 625 at 4:30am, I called the police a 3rd time. This time a patrol car came by & flashed a light at
the guys & asked "..you guys ok?" That was it.
So .... where do you suggest we go from here? I'd like your take on this situation, and any ideas for the future.
Thanks for listening. And if this does not involve you/your department, please send it on - just cc me where it goes so I can
follow up.

M. MADIA-CHANGE IN PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Dear Mr. Franczak:
Five business owners need your assistance. The enclosed memo is a request to Commissioner Stepniak for a change in parking
requirements on the streets surrounding our properties. The five businesses' are: United Electric, Dodman, Miles Restaurant,
Provinelli Grinding and Nicholson and Hall Corp.
What we need is a sign change allowing parking on the street fronts of our various properties. The streets are Perry, South Park,
Michigan and Columbia. There currently is a bike path marking on some of these streets. None of us has seen much bike traffic
on these streets. My company has been located at 41 Columbia St for 86 years and if I have seen any bikers I have
not seen many.
I guess what we are asking is that you talk with Commissioner Stepniak and fire him up to give us some assistance. I would be
glad to meet with you and point out our parking issues in-person. My cell is 716 912 1035

Location 2025 Bailey (Firehouse) Lot Size: 38 x 118 2017 Bailey (Vacant Lot) Lot Size: 40 x 118 and 222 Doat
(Parking Lot) Lot Size; 90 x 105
Type of Action: Unlisted - Uncoordinated Review
Saving Grace Ministries proposed to purchase 2025 Bailey and use for their corporate office. The properties at 2017 Bailey and
222 Doat would be used in conjunction with corporate office. They have indicated that prior to the transfer of title that the
petroleum tank must be removed. The City of Buffalo will transfer title of 2025 Bailey, 2017 Bailey and 222 Doat on a Quit Claim
Deed subject to covenants, easements, restrictions and rights of way of record, if any now in force. The purchase and
renovations will be privately funded through a mortgage from First Niagara Savings Bank. The total cost of the project is
approximately $350,000.00. The project will include interior renovations, construction of office space and possible exterior
renovations; new landscaping; lighting & signage; possible installation of fencing, repaving and striping of parking lot., which
consists of approximately 20 parking spaces.
Results of Environmental Review:
The Lead Agency has determined that the undertaking of this action will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality
of the environment. No further environmental review of this action will be conducted prior to project implementation and a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
The facts and reasons for this decision are as follows: The project will develop and utilize the former firehouse for corporate
offices for Saving Grace Ministries and enhance the area with the retention and rehabilitation of an old firehouse. The few
impacts identified are short-term and not significant in magnitude or effect. There are no actions, which will be undertaken in
either implementing the project or in the long term, which will have a significant adverse impact on the environment. The project
site is located at 2025 Bailey, corner of Doat (lot size 38 x 118), 2017 Bailey located 80' south of Doat (vacant lot size 40 x 118)
and 222 Doat located 225' east of Bailey (parking lot 90 x 105).

S. MCCARTHY-REQ HANDICAP PARKING 595 DELAWARE
Dear Commissioner Stepniak:
This is to request that four parking spaces on the street immediately in front of The Twentieth Century Club, 595 Delaware
Avenue, be designated as Handicapped Parking spaces on Wednesdays from 10 A.M. until 3 P.M. This would accommodate
Club members who have handicapped permits to attend our regular program day events.
The Club has a parking lot on Franklin across the street from the rear entrance of the building. However, the distance from the lot
to the actual meeting areas of the Club is almost a block, thereby making it hard for members who have difficulty walking that far.
Having the ability to enter the Club at the front entrance would be a great help to these members.
If you have questions, please contact Ms. Sheila McCarthy at 885-5168 or
Smc6ef@aol.com
We would appreciate your serious consideration to this request.

TIME WARNER CABLE FRANCHISE RENEWAL
Whereas: The City of Buffalo's franchise agreement with Time Warner Cable expired in December 2005; and
Whereas: Since that time the New York State Public Service Commission has extended
the franchise agreement for six-month periods to allow cable TV service to continue in the City; and
Whereas: While there have been discussions between the City of Buffalo and Time
Warner about a new franchise, there has been no progress toward a new agreement; and
Whereas: Since the old franchise agreement being automatically extended by the PSC,
Time Warner has little motivation to seriously pursue negotiating a new franchise agreement; and
During the last couples of years there have been some franchise-related issues that have arisen, including: Time Wamer's
decision to stop taping community parades (since reversed); Time Warner's decision to starting charging for some "free" cable
accounts in City Hall (since reversed); and Time Warner's refusal to provide the City with a fifth Public, Education and
Government Channel, as provided for in the current franchise agreement (still unresolved); and
st
Whereas: A new, state-of-the-art franchise agreement could help put in place a new framework for a cable franchise in the 21
century that would benefit the City of Buffalo and its citizens ; and
Whereas: The lack of a new, updated franchise agreement is also costing the City a
significant amount of money, so Time Warner is not motivated to negotiate a new deal; and
Whereas: Since the New York State Public Service Commission has been extending the
old franchise agreement Time Warner has no incentive to bargain in good faith with the City of Buffalo;
Therefore be it resolved:
That this Common Council requests that the New York State Public Service Commission provide no more extensions of the
Buffalo cable TV franchise to Time Warner Cable; and
Be it further resolved:
That Time Warner Cable appear before this Honorable Body and explain its position on a new cable TV franchise with the City of
Buffalo.

passenger rail hub for over seventy years. There was no alleged problem with "freight tracks;" and,

NEED TO FINALIZE THE LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
Whereas: The Queen City in the 21st Century." the Buffalo Comprehensive Plan ("the Comprehensive Plan") has been created
to act as the preeminent legal document guiding all development in the City of Buffalo. It is intended to provide a policy framework
for all other local planning efforts including plans for downtown, neighborhoods, the waterfront, special districts and special
purposes; and
Whereas: It has been envisioned that local plans already completed or in progress, such as the Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program ("LWRP"), will give significant depth to the Comprehensive Plan through their incorporation into the document; and
Whereas: The LWRP is being developed to codify the City's vision for future use and access to waterfront areas along Lake Erie,
the Buffalo River, the Niagara River, and Scajaquada Creek, and includes a portion of the South Buffalo Brownfield Opportunity
Area ("BOA") adjacent to the Buffalo River that includes Tifft Nature Preserve, Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park/Union Ship
Canal and the area between the Buffalo River and the abandoned railroad corridor on the Riverbend Commerce Park; and
Whereas: Completion of the LWRP will allow for the accurate identification of waterfront resources and the development of a
comprehensive vision for Buffalo's waterfront. In addition, having the LWRP in place (adopted locally and approved by New York
State Department of State) will provide Buffalo with additional control over local and state actions on the waterfront; and
Whereas: Because the Comprehensive Plan is intended to operate as a general guide rather than a detailed and rigid
prescription, it is very important that more specific and detailed plans such as the LWRP be completed; and
Whereas: In 2005, the City completed a Draft LWRP which was submitted to the New York State Department of State
(NYSDOS) for review, comment and approval. This Draft LWRP was subsequently revised in January of 2007 and was awaiting
additional revisions before adoption by this Honorable Body; and
Whereas: A significant amount of time has passed since this Honorable Body was last provided with an updated version and
status of this crucial waterfront planning document. More importantly, waterfront development continues to take place in a hodge-
podge, piecemeal fashion. This has led to animosity and bickering between residents, developers and other stakeholders such as
the recent controversy over the planned development of a Wingate Hotel on the La Riviere Drive parcel and the new residential
condominiums that have been proposed for the downtown waterfront.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved:
That this Honorable Body recognizes that it is critically important that the LWRP be finalized and adopted by the Common
Council with all possible expediency; and.
Be It Further Resolved:
That this Honorable Body does hereby request of the City's Office of Strategic Planning ("OSP"), that they provide an update on
the status of the LWRP to the Common Council, by filing such information in writing with the City Clerk for review at the meeting
scheduled for September 1, 2009 as well sending a representative of OSP to appear in person at such meeting to answer
Council Member questions.

RE: REMOVE PAY PHONES FROM 395 AND 443 AMHERST STREET
My office has received numerous complaints from residents regarding safety and security issues at phone phones located at
395 Amherst Street and 443 Amherst Street; and
Large groups have been using these locations as gathering places where they block the sidewalks and have caused law abiding
citizens to feel intimidated along this stretch of Amherst Street. It has also been alleged that drug dealing and other illegal
activities are taking place at these sites; and
These pay phones are located in the city right-of-way and are seldom used by neighborhood residents; and
Section 441-2 of the City Charter grants the Common Council the authority to order the removal of a pay phone "after a
determination that the use of the telephone facility has a deleterious impact on the surrounding neighborhood or otherwise
negatively affects public health, safety, aesthetics or general welfare.";
Now, Therefore be it Resolved:
That the Common Council of the City of Buffalo directs the Department of Permits and Inspection Services to immediately
remove the pay phones located at 395 and 443 Amherst Street.

DIV. OF REAL ESTATE TO BEGIN DISCUSSIONS WITH BUFFALO LEGACY CORP. REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MIXED-USE ATHLETIC
FACILITY AT NEVILLY COURT
Whereas: Nevilly Court was a planned, but never built, subdivision made up of 62 parcels located in the East Hopkins
neighborhood of South Buffalo and is currently owned by the City of Buffalo; and
Whereas: The Nevilly Court site is adjacent to Frederick Law Olmsted's historic South Park and is located wholly within the South
Buffalo Brownfield Opportunity Area that is being targeted by New York State for urban renewal and remediation; and
Whereas: The Nomination Document that has been prepared for the South Buffalo Brownfield Opportunity Area, which provides
an in depth description and analysis of economic and market trends, existing conditions, opportunities, reuse potential and
recommendations for this area of South Buffalo, has identified the need for the creation of additional athletic facilities in this area,
concluding that "the potential to reposition existing recreational uses will bring facilities closer to where people live, and open up
highly accessible land to more active uses;" and
Whereas: The Buffalo Legacy Corp., a non-profit incorporated in the State of New York which is pursuing 501(c)(3) status, has
developed plans to construct a mixed-use athletic facility at the Nevilly Court site and is interested in purchasing this land from
the City of Buffalo; and
st
Whereas: The "Buffalo Olmsted Park System Plan for the 21Century" envisions the removal of the baseball diamonds, golf
course and related sports facilities that currently exist in South Park to allow for the restoration of Olmsted's historic vision for this
important public space. The creation of a mixed-use athletic facility on the Nevilly Court site, as is being proposed by the Buffalo
Legacy Corp., would create a viable alternative site for some of these sports facilities; and
Now Therefore Be It Resolved:
That this Common Council hereby authorizes the Director of the City's Division of Real Estate to begin discussions with the
Buffalo Legacy Corp. in regards to their desire to purchase the Nevilly Court site for creation of a mixed-used athletic facility; and.
Be It Further Resolved:
That this Common Council hereby directs that a copy of this resolution, along with the attached list of SBL#s for the parcels
which make up the Nevilly Court site and which are being targeted for development by the Buffalo Legacy Corp, be forwarded to
the City's Departments of Law and Public Works, Parks & Streets and the Executive Director of the City's Office of Strategic
Planning and Real Estate Division for their review and comment.

A NEW OPERATION MODEL FOR BURA AND BERC
WHEREAS: With the support of this Common Council, the City of Buffalo ("City") Comptroller has undertaken an audit of the
Buffalo Economic Renaissance Corporation ("BERC"), and the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has
undertaken an audit of the City of Buffalo's handling of Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") funding; and
WHEREAS: The CDBG funding that the City receives from the Federal Government is currently passed through to and
administered by the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency ("BURA") who contracts with and passes certain funding through to BERC;
and
WHEREAS: BURA and BERC, who collectively administer the City's allocation of CDBG funds, are controlled by Boards that are
appointed by the Mayor and continue to be criticized for operating as "Shadow Governments" due to the lack of oversight and
transparency in their operation and decision making, which is largely shielded from public scrutiny; and
WHEREAS: BURA, BERC and the City's handling of CDBG funds have been the focus of special monitoring performed by the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") which resulted in the release of a report that identified nineteen
(19) findings and two (2) concerns relating to operational shortcomings and ineligible expenses of over $5.8 million; and
WHEREAS: BURA, although initially created as an independent agency whose mission was to complement the City's efforts in
the areas of Urban Renewal, preventing and eliminating blight, and reducing and eliminating the deterioration of City housing
stock, currently administers the City's allocation of CDBG anti-poverty funds; and
WHEREAS: BURA and BERC have created several financial, legal, analytical and managerial support positions that are identical
to, or essentially duplicate, positions within City departments but which offer much higher salaries and generate greater fringe
benefit costs than those of their City counterparts; and
WHEREAS: Many BURA and BERC positions are filled by political appointments, as distinguished from their City counterparts
which are filled from civil service lists and require pre-requisite education and work experience.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
This Honorable Body does hereby request that representatives of the City Law Department, the City Comptroller, the Mayor, the
Common Council, BURA and BERC, immediately meet to begin a top to bottom assessment of the steps needed, and a
suggested time frame for transferring the responsibility for accounting, auditing and budgeting of CDBG and all other funding of
BURA and BERC to the respective control of the City Comptroller and the City Department of Administration, Finance and Urban
Affairs;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT:
This Honorable Body does also request of the same parties that this Common Council initiative be
extended to other related support services that can be provided by the City such as, but not limited to, Civil
Service, Law, Purchasing, Public Works, etc.
AND BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT:
By Adoption of this Resolution this Common Council signals both its desire and intention to:
Take all steps within its power to address the legal and organizational shortcomings that have
allowed BURA and BERC to operate as shadow governments
• Eliminate waste, redundancy and political patronage by utilizing the support staff of City
Departments to provide support services to BURA and BERC
• Increase funding allocated to poverty and blight within the City by reducing BURA and BERC
administrative and operating costs
• Strengthen internal controls and improve operational efficiency in BURA and BERC in response
to the findings enumerated in HUD's Monitoring Report
• Restore the trust and confidence of taxpayers and residents in their elected and appointed City
officials, by delivering services in a manner that benefits the community.

and creating jobs and promoting economic recovery, investing in transportation infrastructure that will provide long-term economic
benefits, and assisting those most affected by the current economic downturn; and
WHEREAS, Title XII of the Recovery Act appropriates $1.5 billion, available through September 30, 2011, for Supplementary
Discretionary Grants for a National Surface Transportation System. These grants are to be awarded on a competitive basis for
capital investments in surface transportation projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area or a
region; and
WHEREAS, The U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT") is calling these Supplementary Discretionary Grants for a National
Transportation System "TIGER Discretionary Grants" (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery); and
WHEREAS, The DOT published a revised notice ("the Notice")for this program in the Federal Register on Wednesday, June 17,
2009 which announced funding availability, project selection criteria, application requirements, and the deadline for submitting
applications, which is September 15, 2009, with those projects that are selected to be announced no later than February 17,
2010; and
WHEREAS, Projects eligible for TIGER Discretionary Grant funding include surface transportation facilities such as roads,
highways, bridges, ports, freight and passenger railroads, transit systems, and projects that connect transportation facilities to
other modes of transportation, and TIGER grants may be used to pay for the surface transportation components of a broader
project that has non-surface transportation components; and
WHEREAS, TIGER Discretionary Grants can be used for engineering or design work, research and development, pilot projects
or technology development, to the extent that Grant Funds are also being used for the construction of a project; and
WHEREAS, Local projects that do not receive Federal assistance are eligible to apply for funding under this Program; and
WHEREAS, TIGER Discretionary Grants may be awarded directly to any State or local government or other Eligible Applicant
and need not be distributed through a local Metropolitan Planning Organization or a State department of transportation; and
WHEREAS, TIGER Discretionary Grants will be awarded based on the following selection criteria:
(a) Long-Term Outcomes: Priority will be given to projects that have a significant impact on
desirable long-term outcomes for the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. The following types of long-term outcomes will be
given priority:
(i) State of Good Repair: improving the condition of existing transportation
facilities and systems, with particular emphasis on projects that minimize life-
cycle costs.

United States over the medium- to long-term.
(iii) Livability : Improving the quality of living and working environments and the
experience for people in communities across the United States.
(iv) Sustainability: Improving energy efficiency, reducing dependence on oil,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and benefitting file en
(v) Safety: Improving the safety of U.S. transportation facilities and systems.
(b) Job Creation & Economic Stimulus: Consistent with the purposes of the Recovery Act, the Department will give priority to
projects that are expected to quickly create and preserve jobs and stimulate rapid increases in economic activity, particularly jobs
and activity that benefit economically distressed areas.
(c) Innovation: The Department will give priority to projects that use innovative strategies to pursue the long-term outcomes
outlined above.
(d) Partnership: The Department will give priority to projects that demonstrate strong collaboration among a broad range of
participants and/or integration of transportation with other public service efforts; and
WHEREAS, The New York State DOT is currently involved in a transportation project in the City of Buffalo, the "Southtowns
Connector" project, for which federal funding has been granted; and.
WHEREAS, In the initial planning phases for the Southtowns Connector project, three alternatives were established, of which the
"Boulevard alternative" garnered the unanimous support of the City of Buffalo Common Council and the Village of Hamburg
Town Board, as well as the support of such organizations as the Congress of New Urbanism, Smart Mobility, Buffalo Niagara
Riverkeeper, New Millennium Group, League of Women Voters, and The Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo; and
WHEREAS, Section II(B)(1)(b)(iii) of the Notice asks applicants for evidence of broad support from State and local officials,
including relevant governors and mayors, in order to demonstrate a project's readiness to proceed quickly; and
WHEREAS, The Final Environmental Impact Statement ("FEIS") that was drafted for the Buffalo Outer Harbor Project, including
Route 5 and Fuhrman Boulevard, stated that the original proposal for the project, which calls for elimination of the elevated
portion of Route 5, would not be pursued because it was cost prohibitive. At the time the FEIS was drafted, however, the
availability of Federal Recovery Act funding was unforeseeable; and
WHEREAS, The Recovery Act specifies that TIGER Discretionary Grants may be no less than
$20 million and no greater than $300 million, however the DOT has discretion under the Recovery Act to waive the $20 million
minimum grant size requirement for significant projects in smaller cities, regions or States; and
WHEREAS, The Southtowns Connector project is still in its beginning stages, and has not yet reached a critical point that would
preclude the possibility of pursuing the Boulevard alternative for the project, now that this preferred alternative is economically
feasible using TIGER Discretionary Grant or similar Federal Recovery Act funding.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
That the Common Council requests that the Administration complete a TIGER Discretionary Grant application on behalf of the
City of Buffalo seeking DOT funding and assistance with respect to implementing the Boulevard alternative for the Soutbtowns
Connector project; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
That, due to the fast approaching application deadline for TIGER Discretionary Grant funding, in the event that the Administration
does not respond to the above request within fifteen (15) days, the Common Council authorizes the City Clerk to obtain grant-
writing services so as to ensure that the City of Buffalo does not miss the September 15, 2009 application deadline for this
critical federal funding program.

RE: CHANGE OF TIME FOR ALTERNATE PARKING
Alternate side parking is a traffic law that dictates on which side of a street cars can be parallel parked on a given day. The law is
intended to ensure the most efficient flow of traffic, as well as allowing street sweepers and snowplows to reach the curb without
parked cars impeding their progress; and
Some alternate parking times begin at 4:00 causing an inconvenience for many residents who do not return home until after 5:00
pm and risk being ticketed or towed.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved That:
Alternate Parking times are changed in the City of Buffalo to
6:00pm unless circumstance or request provides to be otherwise.

RE: REQUIREMENT OF CITY ORDINANCES IN RENTAL AND LEASE AGREEMENTS
Whereas: There are a number of quality of life ordinances in the City of
Buffalo such as restrictions on loud music, horn blowing, placement of garbage totes, upholstered furniture on porches, Bar B
Cue Grills on porches, gambling and public drinking among many others; and
Whereas: Quality of life ordinances are established to protect neighborhoods
from irresponsible behavior and unsavory living conditions in
neighborhoods; and
Whereas: Many quality of life complaints the City receives are covered under
City Ordinances but not stated in rental and lease agreements; and
Whereas: Property owners who provide rental domiciles are responsible for
quality of life infractions and some renters disregard quality of life
Ordinances.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved:
That Quality of Life Ordinances and penalties become mandatory on all rental and lease agreements in the City of Buffalo.
