FROM THE CITY PLANNING BOARD No. 1 Process Welding - Request To Erect An Office Addition At Rear of 667 Tifft Street Item No. 74, C.C.P., June 14, 1994 The City Planning Board at its regular meeting held Tuesday, June 21, 1994, considered the above request pursuant to section 511-67 of the Buffalo Code, Buffalo River Coastal Special Review District. The applicant seeks to construct a 40 foot by 40 foot steel, one-story office addition to the rear of an existing metal fabricating building. The site is located in an M2 zone which permits such uses and is also in the Coastal Review District. The property in question, however, is not bordered by any water way. It should be noted, however, that the site is proximate but not contiguous to the Tifft-Hopkins inactive waste site. Moreover, the proposed office addition will be built at grade and therefore no building debris will leave the site nor will there be extensive excavation. Under SEQR the proposed addition may be considered an unlisted action which may be studied through uncoordinated review. The Planning Board voted to approve the proposed addition. RECEIVED AND FILED. No. 2 Symphony Circle - Request To Erect a Pole Sign at 235 North Street Item No. 75, C.C.P., June 14, 1994 The City Planning Board at its regular meeting held Tuesday, June 21, 1994, considered the above request pursuant to sections 387-19 and 511-56 of the Buffalo Code, Review of bound Signs and Requirements of the Elmwood Business Zone. The applicant seeks to place an accessory illuminated ground sign which measures 4 feet by 8 feet (32 square feet) in area and is 7 1/2 feet in overall height. The site is located in the E.B. (Elmwood Business) zone which does not permit freestanding signs. Consequently the applicant will seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The site is also located in the Allentown Preservation District. The proposed sign has been approved by the Preservation Board. Furthermore, the Buffalo Preservation Board has determined that the proposed sign is a Type II action under SEQR and therefore does not require further environmental review. Given the above, the Planning Board voted to approve the proposed sign. RECEIVED AND FILED. No. 3 M. Saunders - Request To Renovate 23 Oakgrove Ave. The City Planning Board at its regular meeting held Tuesday, June 21, 1994 considered the above application pursuant to section 511-68.1, Hamlin Park Overlay Review District. The applicant proposes to renovate a home by the addition of an outdoor deck, four new windows, two storm doors, the repair of the eaves and interior work. Since the total permit value of the work is listed at $22,000, your Honorable Body must review and approve the work done to the property under the auspices of the Hamlin Park Overlay Review District. Under SEQR the proposed work is considered a Type ii action which does not require further environmental review. The Planning Board voted to approve the matter. RECEIVED AND FILED. No. 4 D. SideIl - Request To Erect a One-Story Masonry Sit-In Restaurant With Parking at 1081 Elmwood Ave. Item No. 77, C.C.P., June 14, 1994 The City Planning Board at its regular meeting held Tuesday, June 21, 1994, considered the above application pursuant to section 511-56 of the Buffalo Code, Elmwood Business (EB) Zone. The applicant seeks to build a 35 foot by 46 foot sit-in restaurant with 16 on site accessory parking spaces. The Buffalo Code requires only 11 off-street spaces. The site is located in the EB zone which considers eating and drinking places to be restricted uses which require the approval of your Honorable Body. Under SEQR the new restaurant is considered an unlisted action which may be studied through uncoordinated review. After review by the Planning Board it was determined that the restaurant as presented was unacceptable in that its placement did not respect the established front yard line of the side of the block of Elmwood Avenue between Forrest and Bird. Consequently, the Board voted to approve the proposed restaurant on the condition that it be built to the established setback line as described in section 511-56, E, (3), b. RECEIVED AND FILED. No. 5 Oak Street Urban Renewal Plan Amendment (Parcel 4B and Yard Requirements) The City Planning Board at its regular meeting held Tuesday, June 21, 1994 considered an amendment and conducted a public hearing for the Oak Street Redevelopment Project, pursuant to Section 505 of the General Municipal Law. The amendment involves changing the land use designation of Parcel 4B from "General Commercial" to "Hospital/Medical Services" and to add new language to Section (f) REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL LAND USE AND REDEVELOPMENT AREAS. This new subsection is titled (f6) EXCEPTIONS TO YARD REQUIREMENTS and would allow the Commissioner of Community Development to vary yard requirements on a project by project basis. The proposed amendment would allow the Buffalo Hearing and Speech Center to construct a 47,054 square foot, two-story building on parcel 4B. The new facility will conduct hearing and speech classes and provide treatment for their clients. The building will also house administrative offices for the Center. The amendment allowing the Commissioner of Community Development to vary yard requirements will also facilitate the proposed development but it will also provide a measure of flexibility for future developments. The City Planning Board conducted a public hearing for the proposed amendment. Opponents and proponents were invited to speak. No opposition to the proposed amendment was voiced. The Board felt that the proposed amendment changing the use designation was appropriate but that conveying the authority to vary yard requirements solely to the Commissioner of Community Development would set an imprudent precedent. After deliberation, the Board voted qualified approval for the amendment, with the condition that the Commissioner may vary yard requirements in the Oak Street Redevelopment Project but only after the receipt of a recommendation regarding any proposed changes to yard requirements from the City Planning Board. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

Budget Examiner," the Buffalo Police Department recommended that Budget Examiner David Moran's salary be started at the intermediate level rather than the minimum entry level salary. The reasons for this recommendation were Mr. Moran's extensive experience in the private sector coupled with the duties that he is required to perform in the Police Department. Mr. Moran has in excess of twelve years of professional accounting experience and the intermediate salary level more closely reflects the compensation grade an employee of this experience would be expected to receive. In addition, because the Budget Examiner position is a relatively new position, Mr. Moran has been assigned tasks never before attempted by the Police Department. The recommendation that Mr. Moran start at the intermediate salary level was a recommendation based on the Department's best judgement and premised on Mr. Moran's qualifications and the duties he is performing. RECEIVED AND FILED. FROM THE CORPORATION COUNSEL No. 53A Ordinance Amendment Section 167-15 Elevators Item No. 190, C.C.P. 01/25/94 You have asked this office to draft language amending Buffalo Code Chapter 167 (Elevators) to waive the initial Certificate of Operation Fee for private wheelchair lifts upon proof that the lift passes an inspection; to waive the Certificate of Operation renewal fee for private wheelchair lifts; and to have inspections of private wheelchair lifts performed by the City for a $5.00 fee. We have attached proposed language implementing these amendments to Buffalo Code Chapter 167 and Buffalo Code Chapter 175. RECEIVED AND FILED. No. 54 Residency Requirement for Promotion Opinion No. 94-50 You have requested an opinion regarding whether a promotion can be legally withheld from classified employees living outside the City of Buffalo. Rule 21 (2)(b) of the Rules for the Classified Civil Service of the City of Buffalo states that "to receive a promotion, a person must have legal residence in the City of Buffalo, or the applicant must become a city resident within six (6) months of the date of his promotional appointment, or forfeit such appointment, except for those applicants exempted by the provisions of the New York Public Offices Law, employees of the Board of Education and the Sewer Authority." Rule 21 (2)(b) does not sanction withholding a non-Buffalo resident's promotion. Rule 21 (2)(b) notes that the classified employee must become a city resident within six months or forfeit his appointment. Nothing in the Rules prevents him from getting the promotion if he lives outside the City of Buffalo. If after six months he has not become a city resident, then he would lose the promotion. Therefore, Rule 21 (2)(b) promotions cannot be used as a basis for withholding from classified employees living outside the City of Buffalo. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON CIVIL SERVICE. No. 55 Amendment of Buffalo Code 242-11 C.C.P. 10/5/93 Item No. 236 You have asked this office to draft an amendment to 242-11 of the City of Buffalo (the "Buffalo Code") to include provisions to address the issue of tenant accountability. Specifically, the proposal, as we understand it, seeks to make the tenant responsible for areas under his or her control and requires the owner to complete and file a "Rental Dwelling Integrity" checklist with the City of Buffalo. We offer the following comments. The Buffalo Code already contains a number of provisions that deal with the issue of tenant accountability. For example, Part 1246 of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code states that "[w]ith respect to that part of a building which the occupant occupies, controls or uses, the occupant shall be responsible for the following: (a) Occupancy limitations and its lawfully permitted use; (b) Maintenance in a clear, safe and sanitary condition; (c) Maintenance of plumbing, cooking and refrigeration equipment... in a clean and sanitary condition...; (d) Keeping exits free and clear; (e) Disposing of garbage and refuse into provided facilities in a sanitary manner and keeping the premises free and clear therefrom; and (f) Keeping domestic animals and pets in an appropriate manner and under control". The Buffalo Code incorporates the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. (See, Buffalo Code 103-1). The proposed amendments are in large part duplicative of the above provisions. With regard to the Rental Dwelling Integrity Check List, this proposal seeks to legislate what is typically covered in a private lease between a landlord and tenant. State statutes pervasively cover the rights and remedies of landlords and tenants. We also express concern over the potential ramifications on the prosecution of Housing Court cases resulting from requiring landlords to file a document with the City indicating possible code violations. As a result, we would recommend that the proposal be studied further with the possibility of public hearings. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION AND THE COMMISSIONER OF INSPECTIONS AND COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION. No. 56 Rebecca Park Defects Housing Project Opinion No. 94-88 Item No. 52, C.C.P., 1/25/94 You have requested an opinion whether Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") funds or the City Claim Fund Account can be used to reimburse Rebecca Park homeowners for construction defects which have been discovered by the homeowners and investigated by the Department of Inspections and Community Revitalization. With respect to CDBG funds, under CDBG implementing regulations, "CDBG funds may be used to finance the rehabilitation of ... privately owned buildings and improvements for residential purposes." 24 C.F.R. 570.202, (a) (1). Local U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") counsel advises, however, that no CDBG funds may be used in instances where the particular homeowner does not qualify under Section 8 low-income guidelines. Even if each homeowner is Section 8 qualified, each particular repair to be made must meet the CDBG rehabilitation specifications and HUD guidelines. Furthermore, CDT funds may not be used to reimburse a qualified homeowner for completed repairs. Finally, because Rebecca Park homeowners were qualified under N.Y.S. Affordable Housing or Trust Fund income guidelines and under private lending criteria, it is unlikely that the homeowners have income levels low enough to meet Section 8 income limits. With respect to the City Claim Fund Account, please be advised that the City has no liability in this matter. The Rebecca Park "defects" are in no way attributable to the limited involvement of the City in providing secondary financing as sub-recipient under the N.Y.S. Affordable Housing and Trust Fund grant programs. Thus, CDBG funds may be used if each particular homeowner is Section 8 low-income qualified, and if each particular repair meets CDBG rehabilitation regulations. However, the City Claim Fund Account may not be used either to reimburse or repair any Rebecca Park defects. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT No. 57 Donation Of a Pair Of Clocks By Allentown Village Society The Allentown Village Society (A.V.S.), producers or the Allentown Arts & Crafts Festival, as a good will gesture, would like to donate a pair of clocks to the City of Buffalo to be erected on city property in Allentown.

No. 61 Okell Playground Improvements Change Order 1 We are requesting permission of Your Honorable Body to increase the above contract to cover the replacement of fence posts at Okell Playground. We planned and bid the fence work to replace everything but the posts. Upon removal of the fabric and the extensive vegetation surrounding the fence we found many of the posts to be damaged. In addition due to the paving of adjacent properties over the last 40 years the grade change between these adjacent properties and the park along the fence line has grown to more than 1'. Due to this grade change we need to reset the posts at a new grade. Based on these field conditions we have authorized the contractor to replace the posts so the fence work can be completed.

ADOPTED. No. 63 Oak Street Redevelopment Urban Renewal Plan Amendment, Parcel 4B The Oak Street Redevelopment Urban Renewal Plan, approved May 5, 1970, C.C.P., No. 170, and subsequently amended, has a forty-year duration. An amendment to the Plan, approved by the City Planning Board on March 29, 1079, and the Common Council April 17, 1979, C.C.P., No. 71, changed the land use of parcel 4B from "Residential" to "General Commercial". Unsuccessful attempts have been made to find a developer that would use the parcel with the current land use. Presently, die Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center is proposing to construct a 47,054 square foot two-story building on parcel 4B, which has an area of 64,002 square feet. The new facility will conduct hearing and speech classes and necessary treatment for their clients. The building will also have administrative offices. This facility is not allowed under the current land use designation and, as such, a "change of use" to "Hospital/Medical Services" is required to accommodate the proposed development. It is also necessary to add new language to section (f) REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL LAND USE AND REDEVELOPMENT AREAS. This new subsection is titled (f6) EXCEPTIONS TO YARD REQUIREMENTS and will allow the Commissioner of Community Development to vary yard requirements on a project by project basis after receiving a recommendation from the City Planning Board. This amendment affects both the Disposition and Land Use Plan maps and the narrative of the Urban Renewal Plan. The Department of Community Development, therefore, respectfully requests that your Honorable Body hold a public hearing July 26, 1994 and approve the amendment to parcel 4B and add section (f6).

No. 73 Restructure Disbursement of HOME Funds And Com. 53, April 19, 1994; Disbursements of HOME Funds (cc) Item No. 178, C.C.P., 3/22/94 In response to the above two (2) items filed by Council Member Czajka; the Department of Inspections and Community Revitalization has developed the attached rehabilitation loan programs, which are intended to improve utilization of Community Development Block Grant (C.D.B.G.) dollars by assisting more low to moderate income home owners in rehabilitating their properties. This objective will be accomplished by requiring, in most instances, that private financing provided by local financial institutions be secured for the purpose of leveraging private funds with federal funds in order to "stretch" the available federal funds to assist more homeowners. In most instances, federal funds will be repaid by requiring repayment of principle and a minimal interest payment. In all instances, normal underwriting procedures will be used to insure that the federal funds are affordable and repayable by the low to moderate income homeowner. Federal funds for emergency grants will be available. Although no repayment will be required, a lien in the amount of the federal assistance provided will be filed against the property and repayment will be required when transfer of ownership occurs. In order for the City of Buffalo to continue to receive Community Development Block Grant funds, productivity standards, based on national averages, must be obtained by the City and the non-profit housing assistance agencies that receive C.D.B.G. administrative dollars. Two (2) alternatives exist which ban increase housing program delivery: cut administrative costs or increase the number of units rehabilitated by the use of C.D.B.G. rehab dollars. In the City's Year XX C.D.B.G. entitlement application - program delivery costs were maintained at Year XIX C.D.B.G. levels. Consequently, more units of rehabilitated homes have to be achieved. In order to accomplish this objective - federal funds in most cases, will be blended with private rehabilitation loan dollars. Additionally, since more federal dollars will now be recycled back into the City's loan programs - productivity, through more completed, rehabilitated housing units can be accomplished. It is the goal of the Department of Inspections and Community Revitalization that the federal loan programs described in the attached program descriptions will accomplish the goals of the Common Council, H.U.D., and the Masiello Administration by rehabilitating more housing units owned by low to moderate income homeowners in Buffalo's neighborhoods.

REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. No. 75 Request For Status Report re: Implementation of Price Waterhouse Recommendations Item No. 175, C.C.P. 4/5/94 As you are aware, on October l, 1993 Price Waterhouse released a housing and neighborhood study recommending certain improvements in the operation and management of the Division of Housing and Property Inspections. While the Department of Inspections and Community Revitalization is aggressively working to implement a strategic approach to housing development and rehabilitation, efforts are underway to initiate internal changes within the department that reflect the recommendations of the Price Waterhouse report. Following is an overview of actions taken, or in process thereof, to rectify the deficiencies as stated. Neighborhoods have been identified for systematic, concentrated code compliance and revitalization. This has been accomplished through strategic planning sessions with the Division of Community Revitalization and community-based organizations. Implementation is targeted for August of 1994 to coincide with the release of the Department's new rehabilitation assistance programs. In May of this year, a three-year systematic inspection of all multiple dwellings was initiated. This is expected to generate over $600,000 in revenue for the City of Buffalo and bring these properties into compliance. Along with the multiple dwelling inspection program, new policies have been established to reduce the time allotted for correction of violations. It is anticipated that this policy will decrease the number of re-inspections. As a disincentive to negligent property owners, an effort to affix fines for creating excessive callback inspections is targeted for September. Multiple callback inspections contribute to a work overload and ineffective use of inspectors' time. A complaint screening process, similar to the one recommended in the Price Waterhouse study will be finalized over the next two months. The new process is expected to reduce callbacks and reduce the high demand on a building inspectors' time. A three-month study will be undertaken to determine monetary savings. Over the next two months, the Department is addressing inefficiencies in the work process by redistricting and reassigning inspectors to improve utilization of manpower and to eliminate dual inspections (code/mechanical) for each property. The Division of Date Processing is working closely with staff to re-engineer the Inspections Division and computerize manuel functions. The availability of lap top computers in the near future will facilitate the improvement of data entry and streamline operations. The City Clerks' Office has been instrumental in assisting efforts to install a new records management system that will eliminate time and effort in researching property records. This task is expected to be completed in the early Fall. Weekly meetings are underway to enhance communication among staff members and to create a dialogue to discuss issues that warrant action. Five members of the Division of Housing and Property Inspections are in the process of obtaining New York State certification of code enforcement training. By October, this will allow the City of Buffalo to be accredited by the State to perform inservice training of our building inspectors. We concur that improvement needs to occur within the context of broader changes in the City's approach to housing and neighborhood preservation. The challenges presented in the Price Waterhouse study require time and effort, not only of staff, but others who hold an integral part in the course of our mission, i.e., local legislators, community-based organizations banking institutions, etc. We have demonstrated a high-level leadership commitment to change and this communication outlining the steps undertaken initializes our efforts to achieve positive results. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE No. 76 Extend Health Care Benefits for Terminated Employees Item #168, C.C.P. June 14, 1994 As I am sure your honorable body is aware, the decision to lay off City employees as a means for closing the budget gap was not an easy one. The magnitude of the gap we faced demanded that extraordinary measures be taken by all parties. It was for that reason that, in March, the Mayor advanced his proposal to reduce the cost of City health insurance. Had the unions been willing to accept that proposal, or even a modified version of it, we might have been able to avoid layoffs altogether. As you are also aware, the 1994-95 budget as adopted does not fund health insurance for laid-off employees beyond June 30, 1994. Thus, any extension of health benefits to these employees represents an expense for which we have not budgeted. In a year where we will already have to struggle to live within the budget--meeting the $3.3 million attrition savings target being one of the biggest concerns--this will make the struggle harder. In general, I am hopeful that the Council will continue to work with us to live within the adopted budget and to identify ways we can be more efficient, both throughout the year and for the 1995-96 budget. Nonetheless, the Mayor and I have agreed to extend health coverage for employees terminated July 1 by 60 days to August 31, 1994. Our estimate is that this will cost the City about $16,000; it is important to note that of the 41 employees that are being terminated, approximately 11 are not yet eligible for health insurance because they are recent hires and have not yet completed the required waiting period. After August 31, under COBRA, terminated employees have the right to the same level of coverage for 18 months at their own expense. The Division of Labor Relations will be notifying employees of the benefits extension and their rights under COBRA immediately. RECEIVED AND FILED. No. 77 Change Alternate I Parking Changeover Time Res #194 C.C.P. 05/31/94 In response to the attached resolution, this office realizes the need to change the alternate parking restrictions.

No. 81 Clarification on Local 2651 Contract In response to your request for further clarification and discussion on the application of the Memorandum of Understanding on Employment Security that is a part of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement between Local 2651 and the City of Buffalo, I have reviewed the contractual intent of this memorandum. I have concluded that the effected employee we discussed, Thomas Brodfuehrer, held seniority in a permanent position as of the effective date of the agreement and therefore is granted the contractual protection from layoff pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding. The change in Mr. Brodfuehrer's status will have no effect on his standing under the agreement as it deals with his employment security during the term of the current agreement.

No. 94 BUFFALO CONVENTION CENTER Support Efforts To Prevent Panhandling After reading the article entitled "Crackdown on panhandlers asked" in the June 15th edition of the Buffalo News, l would like you to know that l support you 150%. Something seriously needs to be done about the problems we are having with panhandlers. For example, on June 10th, 11th and 12th the Spirit of Cross Stitch Festival was held at the Convention Center. This is a large convention group consisting of mostly middle-aged women. The convention utilized over 600 hotel rooms with an approximate attendance of 5,000 women. One of the biggest complaints of the Convention Coordinator, Kay Chelena, was the problems her attendees had with panhandlers bothering them. Ms. Chelena will be sending us a letter in this regard. On June 11th I needed to contact Precinct #3 to have a police car patrol the area around the Convention Center to help eliminate the panhandling problems. Panhandling is becoming a major problem in downtown Buffalo, which no one seems to want to address. I congratulate you for bringing the problem to the' forefront. Perhaps you will be able to influence other council members to assist you in pursuing this matter further. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION. No. 95 ERIE COUNTY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY Payment in Lieu of Tax Agreements With regard to the unpaid PILOT amounts summarized in your May 23, 1994 letter, the following is a brief synopsis of their statue and the recommended action, as discussed at our June 9, 1994 meeting: 1. A.C. Hamilton. We have been advised that the company's parent corporation is in receivership in Canada, the company is not operating and the property is vacant. ECIDA remains in title. The lender has not foreclosed its mortgage due to environmental concerns, and there is some hope that the property may be sold to a third party. In connection with any such sale, payment of delinquent PILOT payments would be required as a condition of continued ECIDA involvement. We recommend reviewing this matter in six months to determine if further action is required. 2. Buffalo Waterfront Restaurant (Crawdaddy's). We have been advised that the company is in bankruptcy, and ECIDA remains in title. There have been attempts to sell the property to a third party, which would result in the PILOT payments being brought current. We understand that one proposed transaction failed because of City restrictions against outdoor dining. We recommend reviewing this matter in six months to determine if further action is required. 3. Dun Building Associates. We understand that payment has been made, other than a small amount of interest. 4. 876 Associates. We understand that payment in full has been made. 5. Harry Hoffman. The company is in bankruptcy and the property was foreclosed on by the lender, with the lender taking title on August 16, 1993. As ECIDA is no longer the owner, most of the 1993-94 payment could be recovered as real estate taxes from the new owner. With regard to the 1992-93 delinquency, the City may pursue its remedies in the bankruptcy court, if any. 6. Keystone Corporation. The property was reconveyed to the company on August 13, 1993. As ECIDA is no longer the owner, the balance due on the 1993-94 payment could be recovered as real estate taxes from the owner, and a portion of the amount previously paid for 1993-94 PILOTs could be applied against the 1992-93 delinquency. With regard to the balance of the 1992-93 delinquency, we have notified the company that they must produce evidence of payment or, in the alternative, that they must immediately pay the same. We recommend reviewing the situation in two months to determine if further action is required. 7. Poinsett Corp. The company's lender made the 1993-94 payment from the mortgage escrow, but never collected moneys from the company for the 1992-93 PILOT payments, mistakenly believing that they had been paid previously. According to City personnel, the lender is now collecting supplemental escrow payments from the company and has indicated that they will rem it the same to the City to satisfy the delinquency. We recommend reviewing the situation in six months to determine if further action is required. 8. Prudential Building Associates (Guaranty Building). Representatives of the company have indicated that the project may be refinanced within the next six months and that all PILOT payments would then be brought current. We recommend that the company be required to provide documentary evidence of its inability to make the PILOT payments and, if such evidence is satisfactory, that they be given six months to work out their financing. 9. Reppenhagen Roller. The property was reconveyed to the company on March 1, 1994. Monies for the payment of the delinquent PILOTs are being held in escrow, pending resolution of the exact amounts outstanding. No further action is necessary: 10. 2661 Main Street. The company has recently paid the delinquent 1992-93 PILOT payments and has indicated that they will attempt to pay the 1993-94 payments. We recommend reviewing this matter in six months to determine whether further action is necessary. As discussed at our meeting, the fact that only 6 matters require additional follow-up evidences a dramatic improvement from prior years, and both City and ECIDA personnel are to be commended for their efforts in addressing these delinquencies. Of course, we will never be satisfied until ala delinquencies have been paid in full. If you require anything further in this regard, please let me know.

I would appreciate receiving information on ways of acquiring this lot for homesteading. Thank you for your time and attention regarding this matter. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, THE COMPTROLLER AND THE CORPORATION COUNSEL. No. 100 ODESSA HUNDER Request Council Renegotiate the Real Estate Div. Value of 236 Walden This letter is in reference to the property located at 246 Walden Avenue. Enclosed you will find a copy of the letter l mailed to John Hannon on 4112194 and an appraisal for the aforementioned property. The City Council approved Mr. Hannon's permission to negotiate a price with me for the lot at 246 Walden Avenue in December of 1993. I have met with Mr. Hannon several times, and he requested me to obtain an appraisal, which did for a fee of $100.00. After obtaining the appraisal, Mr. Hannon and myself are unable to reach an agreement about the purchase price for this lot. Mr. Hannon fails to recognize the appraisal. I would like to send this purchase to the Council for approval without recommendation of Mr. Hannon. I don't think Mr. Hannon is giving me a fair deal. Would you please file this letter with the City Clerk, and would you please contact me about this matter as soon as possible. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, THE COMPTROLLER AND THE CORPORATION COUNSEL. No. 101 LOCAL 282 Position on Company Closings and Layoffs Local 282 has publicly stated that the closing of four fire companies would result in higher rates of deaths and injuries for both the citizens and the firefighters of Buffalo. You have heard firefighters and chief officers testify to this before the Buffalo Common Council. I personally have asked you not to compromise the safety of the City and its firefighters by voting for the closings. We have taken our case to the people by placing an ad in The Buffalo News warning the people of Buffalo of this dangerous situation. I believe that the Council has an idea of our position. However, the Administration was given the opportunity to make its case before the Council at meetings to which Local 282 was not invited. In addition, l understand that the presidents of Local 264 and Local 650 were allowed to attend a meeting held to discuss the reinstatement of jobs to the 1994 City Budget. Local 282 was not. It is your responsibility to seek out the Union's side as well in order to make an informed decision. I will go on record at this time as saying that the closings for four companies will have a negative impact on the City's residents and Fire Department. Even though Local 282 is vehemently against closings for the aforementioned reasons, we also believe that the Council should consider that the proposed layoffs of approximately 8 firefighters will cost the City of Buffalo more money. There are positions in the Buffalo Fire Department which cannot be filled on a permanent basis, such as those held by individuals who have been off injured, in at least one instance over 12 years, who are carried as active members of the Department. This could easily be rectified administratively by the Council, but currently, they must be filled on a call in basis. As of July 1, summer vacations, injuries, sick leave and personal leave days will result in excessive call ins. When 1st and 2nd step firefighters are laid off, then individuals will be called in at a top pay scale (chiefs, captains, lieutenants, fully paid firefighters). The study conducted two years ago by the Greater Buffalo Development Foundation has shown that this costs an additional $26,000 per man annually. The cost may be slightly higher now due to subsequent pay raises. It is the Council's duty to make sure that this kind of mismanagement does not occur. Local 282 and the Buffalo Common Council must work together to ensure that the Administration takes steps to eliminate layoffs. The decision to close four fire companies will be proven to be a mistake. It would be an atrocity to further compound that mistake with layoffs. RECEIVED AND FILED. No. 102 B. LOCKWOOD Report of South District Police Consolidation Please accept and file for Common Council review the attached Community Evaluation Panel Six month status report on the South District Police Consolidation Project. This report reflects the views and offers the recommendations of the Community volunteers, representing the South District, Lovejoy, Fillmore and Ellicott Councilmanic Districts, which compose the South District Police Consolidation effort. The Community Evaluation Panel has met nine times with the involved police personnel in an effort to open the channels of communication and chart the implementation of Police Consolidation. Much credit belongs to the Citizens who demonstrated Community interest and involvement and to Inspector David Caruso and Assigned Police Personnel for their cooperation. The panel represents another aspect of Community Policing and I believe we all benefit from their commitment. REFERRED TO THE POLICE REORGANIZATION. No. 103 KAREN MIRANDA Support Efforts To Prevent Panhandling A convention called the Spirit of Cross-Stitch was recently held in downtown Buffalo. The delegates were primarily female, in the mid-40's+ age group. The group of over 5,000 was accosted constantly by panhandlers who descended on the area as a result of the profile of the group and the fact that there were very few uniformed police officials in evidence. This convention had the potential to meet in Buffalo for 10 consecutive years, having a conservative economic impact on the City of Buffalo in excess of $10 million. As I expressed my concern regarding this group and others at the Buffalo Place Security Committee meetings, I am continually informed that the police are severely limited in their ability to remove or prohibit panhandlers from bothering convention delegates. Mr. Peace, I can only tell you that conventions bring millions of "new" dollars into our community annually, and we hope to be able to impact these numbers even more, but we cannot be effective if convention delegates fear for their safety and security while in Buffalo. (Please note, I am not suggesting that this isn't an equally viable concern for local citizens. They too deserve to feel safe and secure when working or visiting downtown Buffalo.) It is my understanding that the police have requested an ordinance that would give them greater ability to deal with panhandlers when they become a nuisance. We would support your efforts to draft such an ordinance. Thank you in advance for giving this your consideration. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION.

The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) responses to the health related questions received during the public comment period and posed in the Council resolution of March 22,1994, will be submitted when complete. The remedial action selected in the ROD will be designed and implemented in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated in Consent Order #B9-0326-90 between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and the City of Buffalo. Under the terms of that Order the City will be responsible for twenty-five percent (25%) of the costs incurred during work on City owned property. The Buffalo Sewer Authority (BSA) has requested certain supplemental testing of groundwater in the Park as a precondition to accepting this water into the sewer system. This testing has been completed, and the results have been presented to the BSA. The connection to the sewer will comply with BSA design requirements. Work conducted at the site will proceed in accordance with a site specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) which will take into account such issues as dust control, groundwater contamination, and mechanical hazards such as open excavations. No special precautions are required for non-intrusive landscape work at the Park. The conditions for intrusive activities are described in a letter dated July 7, 1992 from Charles N. Goddard, Division of Hazardous Waste Remediation to Mayor James D. Griffin of Buffalo (copy attached).

The Jurisdiction is interested in building it's Headquarters Convention Center on the mentioned corner. We do feel that the improvement of this property by the church will be a tremendous asset to the community and to the entire city of Buffalo. I have been informed that this peace of property is owned by the city, and with it being located in your district I do solicit your assistance in our obtaining this property from the city. We will immediately demolish the present unattractive building and begin making preparation for the building of our needed Convention Center.

Listing of Regulated and Unregulated Costs Effective July 14, 1994, TCI of New York will comply with the new FCC rate regulations and set its basic rates accordingly. This rate is determined using the formula set forth by the FCC, and takes into consideration certain FCC-sanctional external cost increases and inflation factors. Enclosed you will find a detailed price list of regulated and unregulated Products and Services that we will institute effective July 14, 1994. Most subscribers will see changes to their basic service rate, but the overall reduction in their bill will be determined on an individual basis due to the varying levels of services available to customers. Please understand that while TCI is attempting to fully comply with the new regulations, this is the beginning of an ongoing process that will take some months to complete given the complexity of the new rate benchmarks. In many cases, the Cable Act of 1992, directly or indirectly, has led to extensive and continuing channel line-up changes, deletion or addition of channels, and other changes in our service and rates. Changes such as this are always confusing for our customers, but our ultimate objective is to comely fully with the law and to bring to our customers whatever benefits they are due under the FCC regulations. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 862-4646. REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE CATV. No. 109 TCI EAST, INC. Explanation of Basic Tier and Equipment rates On behalf of your local TCI-affiliated cable operator, please find enclosed the response to your notice seeking an explanation of our present basic tier and equipment rates. We have attempted to comply with all applicable FCC requirements. To the extent the rates contained in this response are different from the current rates, such rates, if approved would represent a revenue neutral restructuring of current rates. As we all know there remains considerable uncertainty about various aspects of "benchmark" regulation. Accordingly, we hereby reserve the right to make future corrections to this filing. The operator also requests the right to make future adjustments in its rates, to the extent that any error was made in computing the benchmark rates. Such latitude is essential given the confusion surrounding the initiation of benchmark regulation. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to comply with all of the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act. If you have any questions or concerns about this filing, please bring them to the attention of your local TCI-Affiliated cable manager, Paul Meegan. He will do his best to answer your questions or get you the answer in a timely manner. Considering the complexity of the 1992 Cable Act we hope you will work with us as we work to fully comply with the law. REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON CATV. No. 110 WILSON FARMS NEIGHBORHOOD CONVENIENCE STORES Support Efforts To Prevent Panhandling Thank you for bringing to the attention of The Common Council, the growing problem of panhandlers on Elmwood Avenue. You are correct in stating that we have a new breed of panhandlers who our very aggressive and sometimes can even be violent. With having two (2) Wilson Farms stores on the Elmwood Avenue business strip, we have seen first hand how bad the problem has become over the last year. We have received several customer complaints over the past year, with customers asking us to do something about the problem. Cooperation from the local police precincts has been fair at best and response time to calls for help from the 911 system have been averaging forty-five minutes to an hour. Panhandling is definitely a low priority call. In closing once again, I would like to thank you for your support in bringing this problem to light and if there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to give me a call.

No. 216 By: Councilmember Zuchlewski RE: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CHAPTER 511 - ZONING The Common Council of the City of Buffalo does hereby ordain as follows: That Section 511-4 of Chapter 511 of the Code of the City of Buffalo be amended to read as follows: 511-4. Definitions. ADULT USES: A. ADULT BOOKSTORE - A[n] commercial establishment having[, as a substantial or significant portion of its stock-in-trade,] books, magazines and other periodicals [which are distinguished) depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas, as defined below[, or an establishment with a segment or section devoted to the sale or display of such material] for sale, rent or on-site viewing. B. ADULT MOTION-PICTURE THEATER - A[n] [enclosed building used for] commercial establishment presenting [material distinguished or characterized by an emphasis on matter] to an audience of one or more persons, films, tapes, video tapes, slides, video discs or computer-generated images depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas, as defined below, for observation by a person or persons therein. The term adult motion picture theater shall also include commercial establishments offering private visual presentations of such films, tapes, video tapes, slides, video discs, or computer-generated images. (1) ADULT VIDEO STORE - An establishment having, [as a substantial or significant portion of its stock-in-traded films, videotapes, video discs or computer programs for sale, rent or on-premises viewing, any of which contain specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas, as defined below[, or an establishment with a segment or section devoted to the sale or display of such material). 511-95. Adult uses; [U)uses subject to special regulation[s). It is recognized that there are some uses which[, because of their very nature,] have serious objectionable operational characteristics when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances, or when they are in close proximity to churches, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, public barks or community centers, producing a deleterious effect upon adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. The primary reasons for regulation is to maintain established standards of decency pursuant to chapter 299 of the Ordinances of the City of Buffalo, and to prevent a concentration of these uses in any one (1) area which could create adverse neighborhood effects. To enforce the restrictions upon the location of [new) such uses, it is necessary for the city to [require) issue permits for all existing and new uses [covered by this section) established or operating in accordance with this section. It is recognized that many of the uses regulated by this section involve potentially large profits which entice owners of buildings within the city to ignore the provisions of this chapter and disregard the adverse effects upon the neighborhood when leasing their property. It is necessary, therefore, to regulate owners of real property devoted in whole or in cart to adult uses as well as operators of [these special regulated uses) commercial establishments involving such uses. Uses subject to these controls are as follows: A. Adult uses: adult bookstores, adult motion-picture theaters, including adult video stores and commercial establishments offering private visual presentations, as defined in 511-4 of this chapter, and exotic cabarets as defined in 511-4 of this chapter. (1) It shall be unlawful to hereafter establish any adult bookstore, adult motion-picture theater, including adult video stores, commercial establishments offering private visual presentations or exotic cabarets in any [C,) district other than a CM or M-zoned districts [if the proposed location is within one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of an R District or if the proposed location is] within [one thousand (1,000)] seven hundred fifty- (750) feet of another adult use [(i.e., adult bookstore, adult motion-picture theater, including adult video stores, or exotic cabaret)] or within five hundred (500) feet of any R-zoned district or any church, school, playground, child care center, public park or community center, even if such adult use is located or proposed to be located within a CM or M-zoned district. [These prohibitions shall be waived upon presentment to the City Planning Board of a validated petition requesting such waiver. Applications for waivers of these locational requirements of this section shall be made upon verified petitions, on a form supplied by the City Planning Board and containing the signatures of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of those persons owning property within one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of the proposed location.) The word "establish" means to operate such an adult use as the owner of premises wherein such use is contained or as the lessee of premises wherein such use is contained or as an employee of the owner or operator of an adult use so established. (2) Private Visual Presentations in Commercial Establishments. Commercial establishments which offer private viewing of movies, tapes. slides, pictures or live performance of any kind shall comply with the following: (a) Booth access. Each booth shall be totally accessible to and from aisles and public areas of the establishment. Access to a booth shall be unrestricted by doors, locks or other control-type devices. (b) Booth construction.

(c) Booth occupants. 1. Only one individual shall occupy a booth at any time. 2. No individual occupying a booth shall, at any time, engage in any tyke of sexual activity or cause any bodily discharge or litter associated with sexual activity while in the booth. 3. No individual shall damage or deface any portion of the booth. (d) Operator responsibility. It shall be the responsibility of the owner, operator, licensee and employee of the establishment to: 1. Maintain the premises in a clean and-sanitary manner at all times. 2. Maintain at least 10 foot candles of light in the public portion of the establishment, including aisles, at all times. 3. Insure compliance of the establishment and its patrons with the provisions of this section. 4. Post the regulations concerning booth occupancy on signs with lettering at least one inch high, that are placed in conspicuous areas of the establishment and in each of the viewing booths. 5. Violation of any provision of this section constitutes a public nuisance. In every room of such establishment wherein such partitioned rooms or booths are constructed, there shall not be less than two (2) lighted exits, which exits shall lead directly to the outside of such building. [(2) The City Planning Board shall waive this locational provision for adult bookstores, adult motion-picture theaters, including adult video stores, if the following findings are made: (a) That the proposed use will not be contrary to the public interest or injurious to nearby properties and that the spirit and intent of this chapter will be observed; (b) That the proposed use will not result in blighting or diminishing property values of the surrounding neighborhood; (c) That the establishment of an additional regulated use in the area will not be contrary to any program of neighborhood conservation, nor will it interfere with any program of urban renewal; and (d) That all applicable regulations of this chapter have been and will be observed. (3) For exotic cabarets, the Common Council shall waive the locational requirements if the findings required under Subsection A(2) (a) through (d) can be made and after receiving a report and recommendation from the City Planning Board. (4) Petition of consent. The Commissioner of the Department of Inspections and Community Revitalization shall adopt rules and regulations for securing a petition of consent required in Subsection A(2) and (3). The rules shall provide that the circulator of the petition requesting a waiver shall subscribe to an affidavit attesting to the fact that the petition was circulated in accordance with such rules and that the circulator personally witnessed the signatures on the petition and that the same were affixed to the petition by the person whose name appeared thereon. The City Planning Board shall not consider a waiver of locational requirements until the above-described petition shall have been filed and verified.] ((5)) (3) Adult use permit. No person, firm or corporation shall continue or engage in the business of operating an adult bookstore, adult motion-picture theater, including adult video stores, commercial establishments offering private visual presentations or exotic cabaret in the City of Buffalo without an adult use permit issued by the Director of Licenses after written application, duly verified, has been made therefor, upon a form provided by said Director.

[All permit applications submitted for new adult uses not previously operated in staid location shall comply with all provisions set forth in Subsection A(1), (2), (3) and (4) above.] (4) Enforcement. Both the Director of Licenses and the Commissioner of Police shall have the authority to inspect the premises during- operating hours and to enforce the provisions of this section. Failure to comely with the requirements of this section may constitute grounds for the suspension. revocation or nonrenewal of licenses issued by the city to operate such an establishment.
