The Youth Program is a time honored tradition in Buffalo under which youth throughout the City are gainfully employed during the summer months in valuable on the job work and life experience ventures. Until recently, the Youth Program administration (management, set up, payroll functions, wind down, wrap -up and etc.) had been done through various City offices or departments, most recently through the City Comptroller (as well as through the City's Human Resources Department and the City's Management Information Systems Department) as to payroll and the City's Department of Community Services and Recreational Programming as to all other aspects of Program set up, day to day management, troubleshooting and administration. Last year the City engaged PAL to perform certain of these functions. PAL is not available this year for these purposes and the Department of Community Services and Recreational Programming will perform all these functions except for the payroll. The City's engagement of WCBE to directly oversee the payroll function aspects of the Youth Program will result in the City's youth being better served. The Youth Program's funding from City budget sources for this summer (City's fiscal year 2011 -12 budget beginning July 1, 2011) is expected to be at least $1,000,000, with up to $950,000 thereof allocated to WCBE for Youth Program purposes and salaries for the participating youth. Direct operation and management by WCBE F of the payroll functions of the Youth Program is expected to streamline Youth Program operations and management and is expected to also facilitate faster and more efficient payroll turnaround and direct payroll distribution to the participating youth. Accordingly, the Department requests your Honorable Body to: 1. Grant the Deputy Commissioner and the Department the specific authority to enter into an agreement in form and substance acceptable to the department and fund up to $950,000 from the Department to WCBE to help administer the payroll functions of the youth program, 2. Authorize the Department and or other appropriate City staff to take all such steps and actions and to execute and or process such additional documentation, agreements and or modifications thereto as shall be necessary to facilitate and implement the terms and provisions of the agreement, and 3. Direct the Corporation Counsel and other appropriate City and Department personnel to negotiate to finalization said agreement and other necessary documentation and agreements wherever necessary for execution and actual implementation of the above tasks and objectives. �2 SIGNATURE: DEPARTIVIEN EAD NAME: Otis T.

Construction Contract Compliance Monitoring Monthly Report for Phase IV— April 2011 REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE ON 00037 Statement of Joel Giambra Former Erie County Executive Buffalo Common Council June, 2011 Thank you for this opportunity to review important issues regarding Erie Community College. I will say it simply. This community should revive the plan that Erie County, the City of Buffalo, the State of New York, the State University of New York and the Erie Community College community decided on in 2004 — a plan to consolidate the three campuses of Erie Community College into a single, unified, state-of-the-art campus in downtown Buffalo. I am here today to remind Your Honorable Body of the lengthy and painstaking process that went into that plan, In February 2004, 1 transmitted to Erie Community College board Chairman Dr. .lames Corasanti the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement for the Erie Community College Facilities Master Plan, or DGEIS. This document was prepared by BHNT Architects, P.C. in collaboration with The Saratoga Associates, under a contract commissioned by the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning in consultation with the ECC Board of Trustees and Administration and the Erie County Legislature. The DGEIS was the critical step in the development of a Long Range Campus Master Plan. The document conformed to the requirements of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and that Act's implementing regulations. It built upon the work of the Institutional Assessment Feasibility Study, which was completed by the College in the spring of 2002. The Institutional Assessment specifically did not address the question of how many campuses ECC should have and where they should be located. But we did. We did so because it was incumbent upon elected officials to decide on a bipartisan basis, the best way to serve the people today, tomorrow and for years to come. It was to right an old wrong, adjust to new realities, and concentrate investment in the educational infrastructure of this region at the region's historic crossroads. But the elected officials took great pains to respect the independence of the Board of Trustees of the College. That is why the DGEIS analyzes three different scenarios to address the question of where and how many campuses ECC should have --- and did so in the context of the major conclusion of the Institutional Assessment, That Institutional 3� Assessment concluded that significant investment, tantamount to complete rebuilding, needs to be made in the physical facilities of ECC in the next ten years. The DGEIS analyzed the alternatives, which were: a. Keeping the current three campus arrangement, which would commit a county with a shrinking population and a shrinking tax base to the current, expensive, duplicative and energy - inefficient three - campus structure. b. Developing a consolidated central campus in downtown Buffalo. The next step in this endeavor, back in 2004, was to seek public input on the many issues which the DGEIS addresses. Each scenario that that document analyzed addressed important issues, such as student enrollments, accessibility to campuses and programs, transportation, air and water quality, economic development, and consistency with local zoning and planning. At the end of this public hearing process the ECC Board of Trustees needed to determine which scenario was their preferred alternative and to have the consultant team develop a Detailed Facilities Master flan for that preferred alternative. I am sad that in 2006 and 2007, political considerations interrupted forward progress on what had been a consensus plan. But let's remember why that consensus was arrived at in the first place — simply, because it made economic sense, and because it made educational sense. Although the DGEIS does not recommend a preferred alternative, the endings of the DGEIS then and now fully support the development of a modern consolidated central campus in Downtown Buffalo. I would draw your attention to the following facts from the DGEIS in particular: e The cast of maintaining three separate campuses is approximately $12 million annually in additional operating, maintenance and administration costs. Over a 30 -year life -cycle of a rebuilt 3- campus system this could amount to over $100 million in excess costs simply to maintain a 3- campus system. Please be mindful that in 2004, we did not face the costs of energy that we face today; we are today dealing with oil, gasoline and natural gas costs that are 50% to 70% higher despite low inflation. A recent Wall Street Journal report indicates that gas prices are going to go even higher. It is therefore unconscionable to continue to bind future students to travel to three separate campuses. ® The other difficult finding of the DGEIS that tugs at our community's conscience is this: that the ECC City campus .is not comparable to the two suburban campuses in either program or facilities. This situation hurts minority and low - income residents in the City of Buffalo and first -ring suburbs. In addition to the construction cost of rebuilding, both of the three - campus alternatives would require the College to expend an additional $2.5 million annually to improve the programs at the City Campus and provide better access to the suburban campuses. The DGEIS concludes that, "When combined with the current O& M costs required under a three-campus system, this additional expense is impracticaP' (DGEIS p. 5 -84). The life - cycle costs of this expense could well approach $1 OQ million as well. The DGEIS recognizes the significant positive impacts that a consolidated campus would have on downtown as the regional center for our community. Many individuals and institutions worked long and hard on the "Queen City Hub" master plan for downtown Buffalo, which over 8 years ago identified a consolidated Erie Community College campus as a critical lynchpin for future development. Let me emphasize once again the true cost to the community of keeping a three - campus system.. Although a three- campus system might mean slightly higher enrollments than a single central campus, the additional revenue generated by the three- campus system is far less than the additional operating and program costs that will be required to maintain New York State's only three - campus system in a single county. Let me speak also to what we learned in the first decade of this new century about travel times. There is a myth that students from the northern suburbs would prefer to travel to Niagara County Community College in Sanborn rather than go downtown. Keep in mind $4 a gallon gasoline as we look at the facts: a. The trip to Sanborn from Erie County's northern suburbs is longer than the trip to downtown (it's a 29 minute drive from Main and Wherle to NCCC but only an 18 minute drive to ECC City Campus from Main and Wherle) b. The traffic congestion around the current North Campus (congestion that is already very high at pear hours) would rise to the worst levels in Erie County with a full rebuilding of that campus. C. The downtown campus would be newer than the NCCC's Sanborn campus, and thus potentially more attractive, because survey after survey indicates that what students prefer about NCCC is that the entire program is in one place --- one -stop shopping. d. But what NCCC could never provide is a vibrant downtown campus, next to approximately 40,000 . existing downtown workers, i� restaurants, entertainment venues, internship opportunities, public safety and public transportation infrastructure that already exist. The DGEIS found that most ECC students are frequent visitors to downtown, whether it is for the Sabres, the Bison's, the Auto Show, Taste of Buffalo, Shea's Buffalo, and Thursday at the Square, Chippewa Street or any of the other events that bring some seven million visits to downtown annually. With the burgeoning Buffalo - Niagara Medical Campus, new State and Federal office investments, our own Public Safety Campus and the completion of the Erie Canal Harbor on the horizon, a new central campus in downtown is the alternative that is most convenient to the largest workforce concentration in western New York, The Amherst Chamber of Commerce clearly understood the potential when it endorsed my call for a consolidated central campus downtown. Members of the Buffalo Common Council, I strongly believe that we need to act and think for the long -term benefit of the greater Buffalo metropolitan area. I also believe that the good work that was done over a long period of time, at great public expense, should not be left to sit on the shelf. I ask that you join the hundreds of others that are mobilizing to stop the current Erie County Government Administration and the College Trustees, from building a new Health Science Building at the North Campus. This ill conceived discussion will replicate the same bad public policy decision that allowed UB to build on swamp land instead of firm soil in the city of Buffalo, The people of the State of New York have invested heavily in revitalizing downtown Buffalo. The private sector has invested heavily. The changing economics of energy, housing and transportation all point to a renewed relevance of our region's crossroads. The 1960s and I970s thinking that saw our region sprawl outward is now not only obsolete, but has actually proven to be detrimental to our region's economic past and future. The next public dollar for Erie Community College should be invested where it will make the highest and most sustained economic impact — just where so many of us in this community said it should go almost a decade ago, and that is in downtown Buffalo. i _l f JOSEPH GO.LOMBEK, J .

No matter what language and course of action is devised, the ability to implement this matter is an extremely short window of opportunity for the Department of Assessment and Taxation. Today is June 6. We have to have our final tax bill to our provider, The Zenger Group, no later than June 22. This includes all proofs sent back and forth with all changes verified and agreed to. Besides the language your department and The Comptroller's Office has been directed to provide, we must still determine the `how' of incorporating this change into the City tax bill. The Treasury Office will have to do the same. Perhaps an insert will be sufficient this year, but there are many other questions that must be answered including how does this get handled at the lock box, The Corporation Counsel Office has been directed to work with The Comptroller's Office to devise the language. respectfully request that you include our department, the Treasury Office, MIS, Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets together with John Zenger of The Zenger Group and perhaps Councilmember Golombek to attend a meeting together to not only devise the correct language to be used but to answer all implementation questions and make sure we're working together to get his accomplished.

I spoke with a very pleasant gentleman in the Transportation department who deals with distributing bus passes who looked up my son's name and confirmed that yes indeed he was supposed to take the 5 and 14. Beyond that, he couldn't be of any assistance since he only dealt with "Yellow Buses ". He did give me the telephone number to the NFTA Customer Service Department. The rep., Pamela, was condescending,called me. "Hun" and until I got to her supervisor, Chris, I was given no information. He gave me the telephone number of the gentleman who may or may not run the school program. Unfortunately, that department closed at 4pm. My son was still trying to find a bus which may or may not get him to ABBOTT ROAD!M! This whole department was CLOSED for the WEEKEND. There isn't even a phone number on the BUS PASS SO THAT KIDS MAY CALL FOR HELP OR INFORMATION III!! l! II! 1!! !!!!!!11l!!11!!!11!Illl!1!!M!!! M This whole experience has been an eye opener with regards to the total lack of information that is exchanged between the NFTA and the Transportation Department, Schools and PARENTS. We trust that the 2 entities will transport our children safely to and from school. The bus passes have lists of what the students can't do and yet there is NO INFORMATION TO HELP THEM IF THEY NEED HELPM! I realize that my son should be able to find a bus heading down Niagara Street that will maybe get him near his usual transfer spot. At least from there he's close to his grandfather's law firm or from HSBC Arena where I work and can get a ride home. As parents, we get little information and the kids get even less. The principal washed his hands of the matter and the person who allegedly handles security managed to not do anything which is usual. Our students are entitled to MUCH better treatment than they deserved today. I will be taking this matter to Channel 2, 4 and 7 as ANOTHER example of the ineptitude of the Buffalo School District, Board of Education for their failure to provide adequate oversight of programs within the District and the arrogance of the NFTA. As the representative of the Park District, representative of South Buffalo to the Common Council, leader of the School Board and Superitendent of the ENTIRE district who oversees these matters, I expect an answer.

Cazenovia Park Hockey has consistently maintained a membership of approximately 350 families, with about 450 players. We have held travel tryouts in March and April as proscribed by USA Hockey and have registered 11 travel teams comprising of about 200 children. Our house and MOHL registration comprises an additional 15 teams. In order for us to continue to provide the quality hockey program we have provided for the South Buffalo community for the last 50 years we need to have a contract guaranteeing our allotment of ice throughout the term of the contract. During the 2010- 2011 season we rented 1287.84 hours of ice. This is the amount of ice that we will require in the future. We look forward to working with you to accomplish this so we can move forward with our ice scheduling. Our travel program begins in August.

( "OSC "), which presently owns the above referenced property. We write to advise you that the application for Landmark designation on this property is materially defective, and therefore, it should be rejected if presented to the Common Council. The application was filed in an effort to block OSC from demolishing several of the largest structures on the property including 15 grain silos, a grain elevator and an operations building. These buildings make up the majority of the structures on the property. Given the significantly deteriorated state of the buildings and the safety risks to hundreds of neighboring employees, boaters, etc., City of Buffalo Commissioner James Comerford, Jr. directed that these buildings be demolished immediately. That direction was challenged in Court by the Campaign for Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture, Inc., which is controlled by members of the Preservation Board. The Landmark designation application was a part of the record in that Court proceeding and was seen for what it was - a backdoor effort by the Preservation Board. The Hon. Timothy Walker, J.S.C. rejected the preservation arguments and recommendations on the merits and issued an Order on March 21, 2011 sustaining the demolition order. The Landmark application is now moot and procedurally defective in light of the Court Order and OSC's ongoing demolition of substantially all of the former grain processing complex. In other words, the application is based upon circumstances and structures that do not presently exist. Proceeding to designate the property as a Landmark at this point would be unlawful, arbitrary, capricious, irrational and would constitute an illegal taking exposing the City of Buffalo to significant liability and legal proceedings which OSC would pursue, In light of the above, the Common Council should reject the application if presented.

Need for reinvestment at North Campus. Campus built, except for the Child Care Center, in 1960 and has had no major renovation since. Largest enrolled campus with approximately 44.5% or 6,824 students of FCC's 15,346 students. Just 10 years ago 4,884 students attended. Almost 2,000 more students with no new building space. Unable to grow enrollment to combat loss of students to NCCC without additional building space. 2. Major investments already made and planned for downtown - building expansion, capital projects and student housing, all contributing to significant enrollment growth. a. Building Expansion — renovated a vacant building at 45 Oak Street and adjacent lot, spending $18 million of ECC's fund balance, no state dollars. Project added 52,000 sq. ft. of classroom space in a previously vacant building. Expansion allowed significant enrollment growth and added new and expanded academic programs. Doubled the number of seats for high demand nursing program. Renovation and additional space also allowed ECC to move the Foundation offices, Workforce Development and Corporate Training and Public Relations from South Campus to downtown creating additional investment and spending. Total operating dollars expended on building renovation /program expansion $4.5_i illion b. Capital Projects — in various degrees of project award /commencement — Post Office Masonry Restoration - $9.0 million Flickinger Center Roof - $1.5 million City Campus HVAC - .6.Q million Number 1 priority for 2012 capital project request to Erie County new roof for 45 Oak Street; 2nd priority additional funds for masonry project. The Flickinger Center for which ECC expends over $500,000 annually just on utilities has somewhat limited academic value to ECC but hosted 16 major athletic events with an estimated economic impact by the CVB of $4.85 million. Flickinger Center, built in 1992, cost the State and County over 28 mllllon. The only other major capital project since the Flickinger Center was the approximate $4.5 million spent for the Dental Hygiene renovation at North Campus due to a threatened loss in accreditation. Total capital dollars spent or planned to be spent at City Campus- 51.0 million. c. Student Housing —the "first -ever" ECC related student housing project was initiated through the private investment by Jake Schneider to renovate the former Ailing & Cory warehouse that was vacant for many years for student 1 ECC Center for A cademic June 1, 2011 Site L�eation — Factors Evaluated [cont'di housing. $15.0 million private investment to create space for 300 students. Wilson Farms opened a convenience store in the building. Housing project should be fully occupied in Fall 2011 and has led to renewed and heightened interest in other potential housing projects at all 3 campus locations. d. Initial discussions and meetings regarding a partnership with St. John Fruit Belt Community Development Corporation on creating an Automotive Center of Excellence downtown as well as emerging programs in Energy Initiatives and Green Technologies. 3. Enrollment growth at City Campus -- in the past 3 yepr's enrollment has Brown by 24% at Cit dam us and In the. ast 3.1 ears b 77,4 %. . 4. The driving distance from City Campus to North Campus ranges from 12.33 miles to 13.87 miles depending upon the route chosen. The driving distance from UB's South Campus on Main Street to ECC's North Campus is just over five miles; from UB to ECC City Campus it is seven miles. 5. Cost of land. The buildings and grounds of ECC are owned by ECC's sponsor Erie County. The college owns no property and does not believe the county owns any property downtown. The footprint of the existing 3 buildings total 4.2 acres with 400,000 sq. ft. of building space. There is excess land at both North and South Campuses. North Campus has 116.5 acres and 495,000 sq. ft. of building space and South Campus has 106.0 acres and 384,000 sq. ft. of building space. City Campus is the least efficient in terms of sq. ft. per student. 6. Parking /transportation -- additional costs of operating City Campus. ECC expends $175,000 annually for 258 parking spaces, which includes 108 spaces. at Sheehan Hospital in space that was revs i usly groccu� and generating no revenue for Sheehan. An additional 100 spaces is provided as part of 45 Oak Street without charge, lot is shared with the occupants of the Public Safety Building. EaLklin is for students anl� All union negotiations request free staff parking as is provided at North and South Campuses. Additionally, ECC expends $300,000 annually providing a NFTA bus and rail pass to all City Campus students as well as any student registered at more than one campus and works with the NFTA on bus routes to ensure access to all campuses for all students. 2 ECC Center for Academic Excellence June 1, 2011 7. EOC (Educational Opportunity Center) - $46 million project financed 100% by the state will be located approximately 1 mile from ECC's downtown campus. Many of the programs are in direct competition to ECC's mission and the services provided to the community. E ®C ro rams and services include classes in remedial and academic p reparation. as well as specific 'ob- trainin ro rams in allied health life sciences i ies. All of these offerings are part of the 100 degree and certificate programs and workforce development initiatives presently offered at ECC most of which provide students transcripted credit. 8. Chargebacks --- part of Education Law prescribes that students who attend a community other than their host county can pay that community college's tuition rate but the host county gets billed back a sort of double tuition that is based upon the host counties contribution per resident, In other words, when a resident of Erie County attends Niagara County Community College (NCCC), that resident pays NCCC's tuition and NCCC bills back to Erie County a chargeback which for 2010 -11 is $1,970 per FTE (full time equivalent). Erie County pays the chargeback to the community college and then re- levies that payment to the community from which the student came from. In the past year Erie County residents paid $3,397,170 in chargebacks to NCCC an increase of 126.5% in 7 years. Residents in the following communities paid as follows: a. City of Buffalo - $743,722 b. City of Tonawanda - $ 382,397 c. Amherst /Williamsville - $875,504 d. Grand Island - $481,419 e. Tonawanda /Kenmore - $848,481 The chargebacks paid by Erie County residents account for approximately 6% of NCCC's operating budget and also includes a capital component which helps to fund new buildings. Erie County's budget'for the amount provided to ECC has not increased in several years (and the 4 year financial plan submitted to the ECESA has-no increase) but . the amount budgeted to be paid to NCCC increased dramatically. Impacting chargebacks by adding health science and related academic programs and planned student housing at North Campus will have a significant economic impact to the region, keeping Erie County residents at ECC and keeping hard earned tax dollars in the county. Nursing is the largest program for which ECC loses students to NCCC. The new ECC Center for Academic Excellence Building will allow for a major expansion of ECC's nursing program at North Campus which currently has 120 seats and act as a catalyst for the overall upgrade of the campus appearance. ECC Center for Academic Excellence " June 1, 2011 Chargebacks are expected to grow as NCCC is embarking on a major capital project in Niagara Falls for its hospitality program. The 2011 -2012 state budget included a state share of $4.825 million for this project. The net differential between Erie and Niagara County for 2008 -09 was 815.3 FTE's. Over 800 more full -time students went from Erie County to NCCC vs. going from Niagara County to ECC costing count taxpayers over $2 million in additional taxes. 9. A new ECC academic building at North Campus is included in the Buffalo Niagara Partnership 2011 Regional Agenda, 10. ECUs finances are enrollment sensitive as the budget is reliant on student tuition, state support per FTE and a county contribution. ECC being cognizant of our student's financial needs was one of only a few community colleges that did not increase tuition last year when the state reduced the FTE reimbursement rate by 15.5% and when there was no increase in funding from Erie County. The state operating budget formula for community colleges is 40% from the state, 33.3% from students and 263% from the county. For ECC's 2010 -11 budget these percentages are 30% from the state, 173% from the county and 49.8% from students, vastly different from what is prescribed. This has driven the college to expand its academic offerings while maintaining a very tight cost control which reflects ECUs spending being the 29th lowest of the 30 community colleges, spending $1,719 less per FTE than the state -wide average yielding an operational savings to taxpayers in excess of $24 million. Proiect Fending State education law for community colleges prescribe a 50150 funding formula whereby the sponsor, Erie County, contributes Y ofthe project costs and the state the other %. This differs from four year SONY institutions that receive 100% capital prolect funding, Based upon several meetings with SUNY officials, the Erie County Executive and members of the Erie County Legislature there was agreement reached that ECC would be responsible for fundraising 25% of the estimated $30 million project cost, with Erie County contributing the same amount and the state providing the 50% match. The ECC Foundation will embark on a capital campaign. The Erie County Legislature on May 12, 2011 approved utilizing $7.5 million of 2010 county surplus funds for its share of the project. Presently, there are no state matching funds earmarked or appropriated for this project although a project initiation.form was mailed to. SUNY on May 31, 2021 requesting funding consideration at the next SUNY BOT meeting. !i t ECC Center for Academic Excellence` June 1, 2011 Proect Status 1. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the project was issued August 5, 2010 identifying North Campus as the site for the project. 37 firms responded to the RFQ, a short list of 7 firms made presentations to a committee of College and County personnel all based upon the North Campus site selection. In March 2011 the committee made a recommendation on the Architect /Engineering (A /E) firm. 2. The college's goal is to add student housing to North Campus not only to retain current students, prevent and reduce chargebacks but attract students from out of the area and the country as North Campus is home to some high demand programs that will attract students if there was more building space. Programs related to life sciences such as dental hygiene, dental assisting, health information technology, medical office assistant, ophthalmic dispensing, respiratory care and dietetic technology are all offered only at North Campus. Other major demand programs offered at North Campus is the regional police academy, police science, hotel /restaurant management, recreation leadership, civil engineering technology, construction management and engineering technology, electrical engineering technology, industrial technology, mechanical engineering technology, computer science and engineering science. Certificate opportunities at North Campus include advanced police science, bio- manufacturing, GIS systems, web network technology and medical office practice to name just a few. Currently, 1,757 students are in the "pipeline" for entering one of ECC's Health Science programs. Demand greatly exceeds capacity. 3. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education provides an evaluation of institutions as to if they are meeting the 14 characteristics of excellence in order to maintain accreditation. In October 2010, ECC sent its self -study report to the Middle State's evaluation team in preparation for its visit in March 2011. The self -study report identified North Campus as the location for a new academic building. Institutional autonomy is part of Standard 4.in that the governance structure includes an active governing body with sufficient autonomy to assure institutional integrity and to fulfill its responsibilities of policy and resource development, consistent with the mission of the institution. ECUs mission is to meet the needs of a diverse student body and contributes to regional economic vitality by providing excellent, flexible, affordable and accessible educational programs in a multi - campus environment committed to continuous improvement. 5 ECC Center for Academic Excellence June 1, 2011 Project Summary 1. The ECC Center for Academic. Excellence is envisioned to service not only our existing students and staff but the community as well. It will include public gathering space and offer opportunities for the community to access when visiting the campus for both ECC and non -ECC events such as soccer, baseball and softball. Preliminary plans include a large auditorium and lecture areas for which college and community events can be held, a wellness center and food areas accessible to the community. As originally scoped, this new building will allow for the eventual demolition of the Belle Athletic Center that has exceeded its useful life and is costing the college considerable operational resources to maintain.

REFERRED TOTHE COMMITTEE N LIE I 7 00045 'Z" E E COMMUNITY COLLEGE [ STATE UNIVERSITY of NEW YORK Jack Quinn President City of Buffalo Clerk's Office 1308 City Nall Buffalo, NY 14202 : ECC's Resoonse to Common College's Health Sciences Center for Excellence at ECCs City Campus in downtown Buffalo" On behalf of the Erie Community College Board of Trustees, I am writing to hopefully clarify the position of the college as it relates to the planned "Center of Excellence" building at ECCs North Campus. It is extremely important to clarify that this entire proposal, since its beginning over one year ago, is an initiative of Erie Community College and the ECC Trustees. It has never been a proposal of Erie County Executive Chris Collins. Our trustees and my senior executive staff have planned it since the beginning. The County Executive has agreed to support the plan, but it has been a proposal of the college. The ECC Trustees have asked me to respond directly to clarify some points made in the resolution as stated. I ask the members of the Common Council to contact me directly if further clarification is necessary. I would also like to invite any member to tour the 52,000 sq. ft. facility at 45 Oak St. to see firsthand that it truly a state of the art facility. • In the title, in Whereas #1 and in several other instances the resolution refers to the building as the "Health Sciences Center of Excellence ". The building is not a health science center; it will be an academic building housing several academic programs from different disciplines such as technology, liberal arts and criminal justice. • Whereas #3 states "FCC's often neglected City Campus ". The college has spent, or is planning to spend, over $23 million on capital improvements at the City campus. It has only spent $5 million at North and South .campuses, combined. • Whereas #4 refers to FCC's proximity to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. President Quinn and ECC CAEO Bill Reuter have met with BNMC executive director Matt Enstice. ECC will look to partner with them, through renting of space and student coop's and internships, as well as the possibility of expanding the number of nursing students in the program already located at 45 Oak 5t. • Whereas #6 states "North Campus is conveniently accessible to only people who have automobiles ". The NFTA has a bus stop located at North Campus and ECC provides a metro bus and rail pass to any city campus student. For the Fall 2011 semester ECC will be providing a metro pass to every student. ERIE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Office of the President, 121 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, New York 14203 Telephone: (715) 851 -1200 • Pax: (716) 851 -1029 Email: 7Quinn @ece.cdu * Whereas #8 refers to "100 N. Division St." If the resolution intends to refer to the parking lot at this location, ECC only utilizes one half of the lot, and it is the primary location for student parking. ECG does not own.this lot. e Whereas #9 refers to 45 Oak St. as "unsightly and a "bunker" that contains "temporary classroom space ". It is a 52,000 sq. ft. building that was renovated into classroom and office space that is completely occupied and utilized. It is not temporary classroom space, it includes state of the art smart classrooms, lab space, and it also contains Workforce Development offices. The college spent $3.8 million to renovate despite the fact that the college itself does not own the property. A significant amount of space is dedicated to the nursing program, that was able to double the number of seats available for nursing students • Whereas #10. In response to this statement, the location at North was selected for many reasons but will actually save taxpayer dollars for the students lost to Niagara County Community College. • In response to whereas 411, the NFTA serves both North and South Campuses, • In response to whereas #13, ECC spends several hundred thousand dollars per year to provide student parking as well as metro bus and rail passes to our city campus students. • Whereas #15 incorrectly sites college statistics. Unduplicated headcount at ECC was 18,913 in 2 007/8; 20,098 in 2008/9 and 20,793 in 2009/10. • In response to Whereas #16, 37,333 credit hours, the equivalent of 1,242 FTE's were taken by Erie County Residents at Niagara County Community College, of these amounts 7,472 credit hours and 248 FTE's were City of Buffalo residents costing the City of Buffalo residents $743,721.75 in additional property taxes. Once again, thank you for accepting our response to the resolution. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. 9 `} , i �. f A- W-bA4, Friday, June 3, 201 �� Sam Radford, Vice President, District Parent Coordinatin g Council Katie Campos, Director, Buffalo ReformED The District Parent Coordinating Council, in collaboration with education advocacy group Buffalo ReformED, request that the Buffalo Common Council resolve to endorse the Parent Empowerment Act and support the Western New York Mate Delegation to pass the Parent Empowerment Act into state law during before the end of the 2010 - 201 1 Legislative Session. The DPCC and Buffalo ReformED support the Parent Empowerment Act because we believe that in order to fundamentally improve our public school system, we need to always put students first and make every decision in the best interest of students. Though everyone in the education system cares about kids parents are- the only stakeholders that will always put their child first without a conflict of interest.. They are also the only stakeholder that has no authority to influence the decision making process. The Parent Empowerment Act gives power back to parents to improve the. school system by making decisions in the best interest of students. 1. Education should be about kids first and foremost and not about adults. Unfortunately, most decisions that are made are not in the very best interest of all students. if we want to reach a point where education is squarely about students, we need to fundamentally change. 2. Everyone in public education cares about kids, but most have other interests. Parents are the only stakeholders that do not have a conflict of interest in always putting the interests of their child first. 3. A significant way to improve the system is to put power back in the hands of parents, to legally empower them to make those decisions about education in the best interest of kids. The Parent Empowerment Act promotes an organically grown parent - driven education reform movement to build sustainable changes on a school -try- school basis by making decisions in the best interest of students. REFERRED TO THE SPE COMMITTEE 1N EDUC410N �� V D cafo_ t_._,__ Parent Empowerment Act of Buffalo. also known as The Parent `trigger Law The Parent Trigger bill first passed in California in January 2010. The proposed bill for'Buffalo follows closely to the original bill from California and includes rcconuncudations for an improved bill that protects the best interests of parents, wMch is a system of schools that prioritizes students. I. Why Parent Empowerment is essential for Improving the Buffalo Public School System: The Parent Empowerment Act of Buffalo will empower parents to improve their children's low- perfonrling schools with the urgency that the situation demands. The Parent Trigger will be a new right for every parent in Buffalo that gives parents — for the first time ever — the legal power to trarnsforrnn their school through community organizing. The Parent Trigger is a transformative new way of reforming education —ley giving real, legal power to parents to fight for their own children's education. Buffalo Public Schools are in crisis: about 50 % of our students graduate, mud of that 50% only .15% are college- ready. further, only 25% of black ruales graduate from the BPS in a majority African American school system. Buffalo spends $23,000 per student and the results are staggering; our children aren't afforded the opportunity of an excellent education system. The livelihood of the city depends on a high - quality education system that will put the needs of students first. Unfortunately, the BPS is operated by adults primarily to protect the interests of those adults. if this were not true, our school system would be thriving. The Buffalo Public Schools system educates nearly 33,000 students in 59 separate schools. 13 of the 59 schools are currently on the State's "Persistently Lowest Achieving list, 33 are in good standing, and 13 schools are struggling and will likely be placed on the PIA list in the near future The District Parent Coordinating Council has expressed concern with the District's disregard for parent input, highlighted in the past few months when the Buffalo Board of lAucation and the district administration have passed and implemented policies that will impact their children without asking the I__)PCC for their suggestions or support. By empowering parents to have a stronger voice in reforming our school system, the system will operate in the best interest of children and not adults. Education should be focused on the needs of children instead of those of the adults. As parents arc tine only people in the system who puts the needs of children first, without conflict of interest, it stands that they should have the ability to make tough decisions that will take into account the very best outcomes for our students. The parent trigger law gives power back to the parents so as to ensure that they have opportunity to effect change oil behalf of their children 11. The Parent Process: The Parent Trigger• applies to every school in the city of Buffalo that is not in "good -- standing" with the State. If the parents at one of these low- perfornrurg schools want to transform it, they must first pick I of the 4 Federal Turnaround models and then collect signatures from at least 50 % of the represented parents at their school. Each school transformation option, with the exception of the school closure, will require that the current student body is offered continued enrollment at the transformed school. *For schools that are already identified by the state as PLA, the parents at that school can organize behind their preferred turnaround model and the district roust abide by that plan, unless the school district has already submitted a plan to the state for a federal School Improvement Grant. School Transformation Options: President Obama has laid out several ways for a low- perfortrninng school to be transforred into an excellent school. The Parent Trigger empowers parents to choose any one of these four options. They are: 1) Charter convenion: If there is a nearby charter school that is outperforming the low - performing school, parents can bring in that charter school to transform the failing school_ That charter school, not the school district, will then run the school but it will given to a charter operator authorized by either the local school district or the state, or partial control given to a rron- profit Education Management Organization. 9f the parent petition does not specify a charter operator for the charter conversion, the district should conduct an RFP process to find the best charter for the school takeover. If the district fails to do this in 30 days of validating the petition, the state must conduct an RI-P process to find the best charter for the school takeover. 2) Turnaround. If parents want huge changes but wart to leave .dw school district iu charge, this option should be petitioned. A turnaround forces the school district to hit the reset button by replacing at least half of the teaching staff and the school leadership and giving the new principal more control over staffing and budget. 3) Transforumdon: This is the least significant change. It forces the school district to find a new principal, gives more autonomy to the principal and implements a broad school improvement plan, 4) Closure: This option would close the school altogether and send the students to other, higher- perforrning schools nearby. Bargaining power: If parents want smaller changes at their child's school but the school district will not listen to there, they call organize and Ilse their signatures as bargaining power. Perhaps the most irnportaut power provided by the Parent "Trigger is the ability for parents to use their signatures as bargaining power with the district. There are certainly many instances where parents desire important changes that do not necessarily fit into the four school transformation options specifically outlined in The Parent Empowerment Act; and these parent demands are, in most instances, completely ignored by the school district. In this very likely secrtario, parents can organize around one of the outlined options without the explicit intent of actually implementing a turnaround strategy. Rather, the organized parents can use their signatures as a credible threat to force the district to listen to and meet their demands for improving their child's school. This bargaining Rower holds the most trarrsforrnative potential impact of the Parent Trigger: by ggving parents ---no matter what their sociocconontic status —a real seat at the decision making table of public education, we can transform the way the school district approaches systemically reforming education by emphasizing that all decisions be made in the best interest of ehildren, rather than adults. The Petition Process: 1) Formal participation in the petition process is limited to parents with children currently enrolled in the identified low - performing school, or the feeder school(s) to the identified low- performing school. Signatures are required from parents representing 50% or more of the children enrolled in the school or the immediate feeder program. Although all community members have a stake in public education, parents are in the unique position of having the most at stake with the least amount of influence, In keeping with the scope of the Parent Trigger to fundamentally shift the balance of power in the public school systent back to parents, parents should not need permission from ally other interest groups or stakeholders in order to transform their children's failing schools. As a logistical concern, it would be impossible to determine the accuracy of parent signatures necessary to meet the 50% threshold when signers are outside of the public seltool enrollment of the identified school. ® Allow parents at feeder schools to participate so that they do not have to send their child to a failing school and then start organizing; parents from a feeder school will be empowered to organize alongside parents currently at that school and trigger change through petitions representing 50% of the aggregate parents in the inunediate feeder program, ® The number of enrolled students will serve as the denominator for meeting the 50% threshold of parents: Signatures are required from parents representing 50% or more of the children enrolled in the school or immediate feeler programs" enforced by a one signature per child rule. 2) Parents will organize through a petition, not a vote. Similar to the Federal Employee Free Choice Act— a formal, public vote gives power to management and takes it away front those trying to organize. 3) Specific treasures will be established to verify parent signatures, and it will require each school to retain current records of the names of each student and his or her guardian(s), There will also be a strict prohibition of harassment or lying to parents about a school's record of contacts in order to dissuade parents from organizing. III. The District and State Process: Implementing Regulations 1) Excelsior mist: The district and the identified school will be required to provide contact information for all parents at the school after 30% of parents have signed the petition (as clarified above,.parents representirng 30 % of the student body must sign the petition in order to obtain the complete contact list of parents for that school). 4 Unlike many high - performing and more affluent public schools, schools in low - income communities face unique obstacles that will result in the inability to contact a sufficient number of parents at a school. In union organizing, there are protections against this obstacle through the "Excelsior List " —once a labor union shows strong interest amongst workers to organize (30% of the workers), they have a right to obtain the list and contact information for all other workers. This same rule will apply for each school in the district to empower patents to successfully organize. 2) The school district will be required to give parents notice of their rights under the Parent Ennpowerrent Act. The district will be required to send notice and information about the Parent Finpowernent Act to all parents at eligible schools within 10 business days of a school's identification as low-performing or not in "good- standing." ® Parents can only use a law if they know about it, and they must be informer( of their rights to transform their low - perfornmig school 3) Ilarassnicut or misuse of public funds focused on ruisinfornaing or threatening parents to dissuade them from organizing to transform their school is strictly prohibited. The City Council will receive and determine the validity of complaints frona.parents about harassment received from the district or their school, and valid complaints will be posted publicly. After the Trigger After 50% of the parents at an identified school have signed a petition to use one of the four transformation models to turnaround their school, the District trust comply with their request under the following timeline: 1) Within 30 days of receiving the petition, the district trust determine the validity of the petition and publicly acknowledge receipt of the petition to turnaround the identified school. a. If the district "challenges" the petitions and determines that less than 50 % of the signatures are valid, the parents of the identified school can appeal the challenge and/or will be granted 30 days to verify petitions and collect additional signatures. b. If the district determines that the petitions are valid, but cannot implement the identified transformation, the State Board of Regents must hear the case and determine the viability of the district to implement the identified transformation. If the State Board of Regents determines that the district cannot implement the identified transformation, the parents can appeal to the State Supreme Court. Within 30 days of determining the petition valid, the District must propose to the school hoard and the parent -body the proposal to implement the transformation option. Within 60 days of receiving the petition, the District and the parents must hold a public meeting at the identified school unveiling the turnaround plans for that school. After comments from this hearing are taken into consideration, the District and the parents have 10 business days to complete a final strategic plan to turnaround the school. AVID A.

This charge refers to the August 25, 2008 arrest data form annexed to the December 27, 2010 "Notice of Petition" and therefore considered to be part of the record confirming the arrest in the Food Store at 1 Alma of an individual named Adel Abdulmajid for felony trademark Counterfeiting 1 Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4t and Felony CPSP$- Firearms 4 A "Buffalo News" article. reporting on said arrest was also included in the "Notice of Petition" date December 27, 2010 and also therefore to be considered part of the record. ALJ Wisniewski notes "arrests were made on the premises, but not of the licensee. After the 2008 arrest, two licenses were issued ". As ALJ Wisniewski confirms "arrests were made on the premises" whether or not the Licensee was arrested is irrelevant as Buffalo City Ordinance Chapter 194 -4 "Operation of business ", Section (A) dearly state that the owner /operator mast comply with laws and ordinances relating to the conduct of the business, use and maintenance of the premise. Additionally, ALJ Wisniewski noted two Food Store Licenses were issued after the 2008 arrest. This is also irrelevant as the 2008 arrest/violation was never adjudicated and therefore, whether subsequent "renewal" licenses were issued should not be relevant or considered in determining whether or not there was a violation of Chapter 194 -4(A). Evidence submitted by the Petitioner: Petitioner Exhibit 4, "Certificate of Conviction -Adel Abdulmajid -plea to PL 165.71 - trademark counterfeiting in the 3rd degree" was also made a part of the record and must be considered. Said "Certificate of Conviction" clearly indicates and there is no disputing a violation of Buffalo City Ordinance Chapter 194 -4(A). There is substantial evidence in the record to support this charge. This Charge is sustained. Chpffe 3 - Violation of Buffalo City Code Chapter 194 -4 "Operation of business ", Section (A) Charge 3 refers to Buffalo City Code, Chapter 194-4 "Operation of business ", Section (A) "The owner /operator of any licensed food store shall comply with all provisions of federal, state and local laws and ordinances relating to the conduct of the business, use and maintenance of the premises." This charge refers to the "Notice of Violation" dated December 14, 210 annexed to the "Notice of Petition" and therefore to be considered as part of the record. Said "Notice of Violation" was issued by Buffalo Building Inspector Ferraraccio based on his "on- site" inspection and noted six (6) violations. Buffalo Inspector Ferraraccio testified that upon his inspection of December 9, 2010 that these violations existed. Inspector Ferraraccio also testified that upon his questioning, the owner of the Food Store at 1 Alma verified the sale of "Used Phones ", these sales are in violation of Buffalo City Ordinance Chapter 254 `Junk Dealers and Pawnbrokers "; "Second Hand Dealer" License required t sell used goods. ALJ Wisniewski states "The violations of the State Code and City Ordinance were remedied by the Respondent" and "violations were addressed by Respondent after receipt of the Notice of Violation ". As concluded by ALJ Wisniewski violations existed but were "remedied ". As clearly demonstrated by the evidence and testimony presented at the Hearing, violations did exist and whether they were t subsequently "remedied" or not is not relevant in determining whether the charges are sustainable. Inspector Ferraraccio's testimony was credible and the Respondent's witness did verify that violations did exist. There is substantial evidence in the record to support this charge. This Charge is sustained Charge 4 - Violation of Buffalo City Code Chapter 1944 "Operation of business", Section (B) Charge 4 refers to Buffalo City Code, Chapter 194 -4 "Operation of business ", Section (B) "The owner /operator of any licensed food store shall comply with all notices, orders, decisions and rules and regulations made by the Department of Permit & Inspection Services." This charge refers to a copy of "Food Store License" No. 544854 with "operation conditions" listed on said license and notes written by City of Buffalo Inspector Vince Ferraraccio indicating "License Condition" violations. As said copy of the License was annexed to the "Notice of Petition" it must be considered as part of the record. As noted in Charge 3, ALJ Wisniewski concluded and as the Respondent's witness testified, violations existed but were "remedied ". Buffalo Inspector Ferraraccio testified that upon his inspection of December 9, 2010 that these violations existed. Inspector Ferraraccio also testified that upon his questioning, the owner of the Food Store at 1 Alma verified the sale of "Used Phones ", these sales are a violation of Buffalo City Ordinance Chapter 254 `Junk Dealers and Pawnbrokers"; "Second Hand Dealer" License required to sell used goods. ALJ Wisniewski also noted "The violations of the State Code and City Ordinance were remedied by the Respondent" and "violations were addressed by Respondent after receipt of the Notice of Violation ". As clearly demonstrated by the evidence and testimony presented at the Hearing, violations did exist and therefore, the Respondent did violate his "License Condition" to "Adhere to all Local, State & Federal Rules and Regulations ". Whether the "License condition" violations were subsequently "remedied" or not is not relevant in determining whether the charges are sustainable. Inspector Ferraraccio's testimony was credible and the Respondent's witness did verify that violations of the "License Conditions" did exist. There is substantial evidence in the record to support this charge. This Charge is sustained Exhibits: Petitioner Exhibit 1 -- City property information printout showing Charles G. Burns as owner of 1 Alma, buffalo, New York. Petitioner Exhibit 2 — food Store license issued to Jabr Abdulmajid for 1 Alma -issue 4 /8 /07, expires 4/1108. Petitioner Exhibit 3 — Food Store license issued to Jabr Abdulmajid 8 /11 /08, expires 4/1/09. Petitioner Exhibit 4 -- certificate of conviction --- Adel Abdulmajid -plea to PL 165.71- trademark counterfeiting in the 3 degree. Petitioner Exhibit 5 -- 911 log for calls to 1 Alma from 3/6/08 through 11/17/10. Respondent Exhibits 1 -5 and 7-16 — Pictures of premises at 1 Alma showing different parts of interior and exterior. Respondent Exhibits 6 — Food Store license: issued to Jabr Abulmajid 'issued 1/29110, expires 4 /1 /10. Commissioner's Findings The Administrative Law Judge confirmed that two arrests were made in the premises at 1 Alma within approximately a two year period. Evidence also confirmed that the 2008 arrest resulted in a "Certificate of Conviction" and the subsequent 2010 arrest has yet to be resolved. Evidence and testimony by both the Petitioner's witness and the Respondent's witness clearly demonstrate that violations existed at and in the premise at 1 Alma. Additionally, the ALJ noted in his conclusion that said violations existed. Commissioner's Decision and Order The testimony and evidence provided has established by at least substantial evidence that Buffalo City Code Chapter 194 -4, Sections (A) and (B) have been violated with the consent and knowledge of Respondent Abdulmajid. it is therefore O DERED that Fond More License 544884 issued to and for Jabr Abdulmajid d/b /a Zack Mini Market located at 1 Alma is hereby REVOKED.

Brown Buffalo City Hall Re: Buffalo reapportionment I fully realize that what I say today will have no impact on the outcome of the reapportionment process. But, I am going to make my voice heard even if no one will listen. While Buffalo lost more than 30,000 people over the last decade we proceed with a process that the number one criterion is to keep incumbents in their districts. The reapportioned districts were drawn to represent the incumbent Council members not the citizens of Buffalo.The preferred litany is "one person, one vote ". Yet, somehow this does not translate into a "government of the people, by the people, for the people ". While the Buffalo News and others in power praise the Buffalo reapportionment plan, there are many Buffalo citizens who do not praise the plan. Of course most of these citizens are not here today. Nor did they become involved in the reapportionment process. Why not? Because they have become disenfranchised. When they go to vote they often have no choice, because there is only one candidate, Anyone looking at the proposed plan can see the gerrymandering. As Comment. an example let's look at the Proposed University District. 1. Look at the little section containing Parkridge south of East Amherst Street. Why doesn't a major street such as East Amherst continue as the boundary? Hmm. Could it be because a former Councilmember lives there and would now be in a different district? 2. Why isn't Stalin Avenue the western boundary? Simple, easy, a major street, keeps blocks of people together. But no, we have Voorhees, Covington, and Rosemary as the boundary. Is it because a City Hall employee lives on Rosemary or a Democratic Party stalwart on Covington? 3. Look at the triangle at Vernon Place. Why is this in Masten and not Delaware, where it belongs? 4. Now if we place the Parkridge section into Masten, the Stavin section into University, the Vernon triangle into Delaware, we are left with nice clean, identifiable boundaries defined by major streets. The three populations probably balance out. Using small residential streets as boundaries is confusing for everyone. Why is Elmwood community divided into four Council Districts? This is a major community without clear representation. It's chopped up into little chunks. The little section between North and Summer Streets is the funkiest maneuver to protect an incumbent. Councilmember Pridgen sent a letter to the Reapportionment Advisory Commission stating: 1 applaud Mr. Pridgen for his candor. The Niagara District should extend all the way to downtown. Yet, it doesn't. I could go on. Other Districts are even more obviously contrived. You know where I mean. I am including my earlier comments to the Common Council rather than repeating them. While I respect the efforts of our Council members, the citizens of Buffalo do not owe anyone a position / job. We needed a complete overhaul of our government not a massage. I present you a plan that is based upon population, neighborhoods, communities of common interest, compactness and contiguousness, using major streets and geographic elements as boundaries. Every district has the potential for stability and growth. Perhaps in 2020 we can do better. Thank you. James E. Rozanski 92 West Winspear Avenue Buffalo, NY 14214 2011 0605 Buffalo Reap comments to Mayor May 23, 2011 To: Gerald Chwalinski City Clerk Buffalo City Hall Re: Buffalo Reapportionment e comments to Common Council Please submit these comments to the Common Council. Looking at the final Southern Boundaries Map being reviewed by the Common Council raises many questions. Naturally the one person one vote criteria is adhered to. However, the compact and contiguous criterion is not followed. 1. Population trends need to be considered. Creating districts where all the census tracts have been losing population will result in an imbalance of representation in the coming years. Population trends are dynamic not static. 2. It's time for bold changes; not massaging of the status quo. What is the best way to divide the City into nine equally populated districts, thereby giving each citizen an opportunity to participate in a democratic (not the party) atmosphere? You need to give people an incentive to become more involved in City government. 3. The existing district names should be changed to numeric or direction (e.g. north, south, central, etc.). 4. The Niagara District should extend along Niagara Street from Niagara Square to Forest Avenue. Avoid splitting communities of common interest. Census tracts 71.01, 71.02, 72.02 belong in the Niagara District, 5. If a district continues with the name Masten, then the historic Masten Park should be in that district. Otherwise give the district a different name. 6. Census tracts 40.01, 40.02, 52.01, 52.02 belong in the Delaware District. Central Park, Parkside, Hamlin Park, Canisius College, FLARE (includes central park plaza) should all be working together to address common interests and problems. 7. Reconfigure the four districts that now have the lowest populations. Ellicott could emanate from Niagara Square and its historically designated district downtown into the Elmwood neighborhood. Fillmore, Lovejoy, and Masten could begin near downtown and follow the radial street pattern formed by the Buffalo River, Seneca, Swan, Clinton, Eagle, .William, Broadway, Sycamore, Walden to the eastern City line. 8. Use Scajaquada Creek as a natural southern boundary for the North District. The process started slowly since census data was not readily available. Process for the public has been more reactive than proactive. Now the process is being rushed to finish. Finishing seems more important than having a great product. It would be better to take time to do it right even if it means holding another election next year. The County reapportionment should have been done in cooperation with the City reapportionment rather than independently. Thank you. I have tried to keep my comments succinct. I certainly could add more. There needs to be debate about this process and its end product. I only ask that the Council do the "right thing" in this process. James E.

Several years ago the KCA was split into two council distnets,Ellicott& Niagara. The proposed redistricting is now dividing our are into three districts, Ellicott,Niagara & Fillmore. Comment: Over the past 30 years the KCA has accomplished much by joining forces with adjacent block clubs (Arlington & Days Park) to improve the neighborhood. By dividing the KCA area into 3 districts we will now be a amall voice to three council members. Therefore the Kleinhans Community Association is opposed to dividing our neighborhood into three districts.

If ethnic and geographic consideration was a factor in determining distric lines, what is the justification for the Filimore Comment: District encompasing the.southern part of Ellicott and divinging the western edge of Ellicott in half`? These lines will define election districts which will effect polling place locations where accessiblity and access may be an issue for voters.

The Vernon triangle, a small neighborhood bordered by Main Street, Amherst, and train tracks to the west has long been a part of Parkside, and benefited from its close and productive relationship with the Parkside Community Association. After years of effort and advocacy, the Vernon Triangle has begun to see signs of improvement and reinvestment. The PCA and our membership is proud to have been a part of this renaissance, that is now going to be jeopardized as this small residential section is thrown into a new district. There is no existing relationship between the Vernon Triangle and any partners across Main Street. The concerns and focus of the Masten District has always been, and rightly so, on the needs and concerns, including greater levels of abandonment, poverty, and crime. It is our fear that the issues that matter most to the Vernon triangle are now going to be lost as these 478 people are thrown into an entirely Comment: new situation, and will most likely not receive the attention or consideration they have as part of the Delaware District. Even if we granted that there were bound to be changes necessitated by the math underlying this new map, we are still very disappointed in the process by which the public was involved. Early iterations had left the triangle included in the Delaware district, and so there was no outreach to Parkside that any change was being considered. While other communities were given the option: to fight to keep them together, we were unaware that Parkside was left out of the conversation. Only when a draft map was released that showed the triangle was being cut off, did we become involved. The process for us began with a call for comments released on a Friday Afternoon May 20th, giving us until Monday afternoon May 23rd, without an option for electronic submissions. Setting aside cynicism that this was a public process specifically designed to NOT result in many comments, the Parkside neighborho was.. able to submit almost half of all comments received from the entire City (I I out of 24), all of them expressing the desire to beep the Vernon Triangle within Delaware District. We next received notice Tuesday the 24th at 9:30 for a public special meeting to be held that afternoon at 1:50. Again, this is simply not.a sensible or forthright way to solicit public input. Even under these circumstances, we were able to attend this meeting, and heard from multiple councilmen that the triangle was most likely to be returned to Delaware District. It was only a few days later that we had learned that the council had voted to remove the triangle. When conducting a public process the fir st priority has to be allowing a fair opportunity for stakeholders to actually be involved. In this case we feel the Council. failed that test. A second priority though would be to either demonstrate that the input received had in fact been considered in the discussion, and should the overwhelming sense of the public point in one direction, a reasonable explanation be given for denying these requests. Again, under this standard, the council has failed to respond to the comments received. Ideally, we would be able to find a way to keep the Vernon Triangle within Delaware District. A separate but equally important concern: is that we address this glaring misunderstanding on how a Public Process should be run. While it would be a bitter pill to swallow in the best of circumstances, accepting this neap after having been ignored, and then dismissed is a much more offensive proposition.

Historically, the community centers that are part of the collaborative have been awarded funds from the Erie County Youth Bureau to fully fund their summer programs. The BCCC proposes to use the City of Buffalo funds to replace this lost funding from the Erie County Youth Bureau. Proposed youth programming would include structured academic enrichment activities; career enrichment activities; cultural enrichment; gang and violence prevention programs; youth leadership; engagement and community service programs; and supervised recreation. The structured programs will vary by agency. Overall, the summer program will run between 12pm and 9pm, Monday through Friday, for seven to nine weeks in July and August 2011. The structured activities will keep youth off the streets. Summer youth programs help to prevent the "summer slide" of youth from disadvantaged backgrounds falling behind academically. Statistics from the Erie County Youth Bureau indicate that over 95% of participants in our community center summer programs advanced to the next grade level on time and 43% of City of Buffalo children below the poverty level. In NYS, 25% of children are responsible for taking care of themselves after school, a number that is significantly higher for times when school is not in session such as during the summer recess. The overall proposed program will have two comprehensive objectives that each agency will measure. They are: Objective *1: 75% of participating youth will attend at least seven academic enrichment activities and /or field trips. Objective #2: 75% of the participating youth will participate in an organized recreational and socialization activity at least twice a week. Process evaluation in the way of attendance and activity tracking will be used to measure the objectives. Additional evaluation of each program will vary by agency and will utilize research based methods. The other evaluation methods may include, but are not limited to, the READY Tool, Results Based Accountability (RBA), Search Institute Asset Development surveys, participant surveys, focus groups, etc. The Buffalo Community Center Collaborative (BCCC) is made up of eleven not -for- profit Community Centers. The Collaborative's eleven members include; The Bob Lanier Center, CEM _ Concerned Ecumenical Ministry, CRUCIAL Human Services, UHCD d /b /a Gloria J. Parks Community Center, North Buffalo Community Center, Northwest Buffalo Community Center, Old First Ward Community Association, Schiller Park Community Services, Seneca- Babcock Community Center, Valley Community Association, and West Side Community Services. BCCC agencies are located throughout the City of Buffalo and serve neighborhoods in all four qu adrants of the. City. BCCC agencies provide a diverse set of services, which include, but are not limited to the following; senior citizen services and programs, activities and programming for youth, housing services, neighborhood beautification programs, and more, f � V \ OUR,MISSION To work in collaboration with others to help children and seniors improve their lives, while strengthening the community, V ( Collectively, the Collaborative has 330 years of experience in serving the community, with a total combined budget amounting to $9,152,637. Together, the BCCC employs 447 people who live in large part in the City of Buffalo and in communities served by BCCC agencies, and 210 Buffalo residents volunteer their time and or support by serving on agency Board of Directors. 71,300 clients depend on BCCC direct services and an additional 25,000 clients are receiving indirect services. The mission of the Buffalo Community Center Collaborative is an association of Human Service agencies representing the City of Buffalo, which is committed to developing initiatives, programs, financial support, and advocacy, as a collaborative to improve services and opportunities for communities throughout the City of Buffalo. The Collaborative's past accomplishments demonstrate the capacity and ability to administer grants by the collaborative as a whole as well as by the eleven individual agencies. The BCCC utilizes research based models in the structure of their collaborative, specifically using the Maryland and Minnesota Non -Profit Standards of Performance. The BCCC has previously successfully secured $175,000 from the Oishei Foundation for the purpose of developing the mission of the BCCC. In addition, the BCCC has previously received grants from the Wendt Foundation and the Buffalo Bills Foundation. The Collaborative has also secured its 501(c) (3) status and has devised a set of by-laws that govern the collaborative, The Buffalo Community Center Collaborative looks forward to working closely with the City of Buffalo to ensure a safe and enriching summer for the poorest of Buffalo's youth. The BCCC members will leverage their own resources in partnership with the city, with the $ilo,000 funding request being leveraged against approximately $170,000 in agency funds. With over 1200 youth being served, the cost per child is a strikingly low $coo per child for the entire summer program. However, if funding from the City of Buffalo is not possible, the proposed programs will not be able to take place, leaving youth without a safe, structured program to attend this summer. We have requested meetings with the Mayor, and with Police Commissioner Derenda, who was appointed by the Mayor to the Asset Forfeiture Fund. Each agency's individual proposal has been submitted under separate cover to Deputy Commissioner Otis Barker. We understand there is little room for additional funding in the City's Operating Budget. That is why we have proposed in this very hard year a one -time request to the Asset Forfeiture Fund. We have ideas to bring new monies to the City in future years that we'd also like to discuss with the Common Council. The Buffalo Community Center Collaborative representatives respectfully request Common Council support for this proposal, and help in arranging an expedited meeting with the Asset Forfeiture Board that has yet to ever meet, as of today. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Sincerely, _ g: Michael Tritto, Jr. Secretary Buffalo Community Center Collaborative Executive Director Schiller Park Community Services, Inc.

MUNSON �Ef�B.A1' #V �aS�IST'ANT` AMANDA R. BLANDO Attached please find petitions supporting the designation of a two block length of Main Street as a School Speed 'Zone. In the interest of the safety of students who attend St. Joseph University School, located at 3275 Main Street, it is necessary to reduce the speed of the motorists during the days and hours that the school is open. Please file the attachment for the Common Council meeting scheduled for June 14, 2011. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Very truly yours, REFERRED PO THE C 1 N LEGSLATION. Bonnie E. Russell University District Council Member BER1kdp 'United for Uri e V�\ In the interest of the safety of the children who attend St. Joseph's University School at 3275 Main Street, I /we call upon the members of the Common Council of the City of Buffalo to designate the two blocks of Main Street in front of the school as a School Speed Zone in accordance with New York State traffic laws. The students who live within a half mile of the school do not get bus service and often walk to and from school, which includes crossing Main Street. Additionally, the students attend physical education classes at the Gloria J. Parks Community Center, which requires them to cross Main Street to get there. Finally, during a school Walk- A -Thon on Friday, May 27th, an automobile proceeded to drive through the intersection of Main Street and Heath Street against a red light, despite the fact that a large group of children were crossing the street at that time. Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident, but it underscored the need to have that section of Main Street designated as a school safety zone. Therefore, 1 /we are petitioning the members of the Common Council of the City of Buffalo to designate the two blocks of Main Street in front of the school as a School Speed Zone. We ask that signs indicating a school zone with reduced speed limits be posted on the two blocks of Main Street on each side of the school.

BUFFALO, THE CITY OF NIAGARA FALLS AND TIE NIAGARA FRONTIER TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY TO PARTICIPATE IN AN OPTIONAL 20 YEAR RETIREMENT PLAN IN CERTAIN CIRCUMS'T`ANCES." Whereas: The City of Buffalo Common Council has the utmost respect and admiration for the men and women who have chosen to serve our city and its residents as members of the Buffalo Fire Department. These individuals protect life and property daily in the City of Buffalo, often having to abandon care or concern for their own safety and well being; and Whereas: The City of Buffalo Fire Department answers more calls per capita than any other department in the United States of America; and "Whereas: A Bill has been introduced in the NYS Assembly, #A5564 -A and Senate #55378 — "an act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to allowing certain firefighters in the City of Buffalo, the City of Niagara Falls and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority to participate in an optional 20 year retirement plan in certain circumstances "; and Whereas: In 2009 New York State passed a new Tier V pension bill for public employees who participate in the state retirement system. The new Tier V included members fib o Buffalo Fire Department; and y . Whereas: Effective January 9, 2410, the Tier V legislation inadvertently included a clause that adversely affected new hires to the City of Buffalo Fire Department.

Pridgen RESOLUTION Re: BI- ANNUAL MEETINGS OF CITY OF BUFFALO DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES WITH THE COMMON COUNCIL WHEREAS: The City of Buffalo is comprised of numerous departments and agencies that are responsible for the daily operations of the City. The Coniiriori Council, as the legislative branch of the City of Buffalo, has a duty to oversee these departments and protect the interests of City residents and business owners; and WHEREAS: It is in the best interest of our City's residents and businesses, as well as the Common Council and various departments and agencies of City government, that there be a free - flow of information between the various units of City government. To efficiently run a large organization with numerous operating units such as the City of Buffalo, it is critical for each unit to understand its role in the overall organization, as well the role of other units, because the policies and actions of each unit affect each of the others as well; and WHEREAS: This includes such information as changes in key personnel positions, shifts in responsibility within the department or agency which could affect other governmental units, changes in the department or unit's structure, policy changes within.theAepartment or agency, technology upgrades within the department or agency, specific support that will be required from the Council or other departments or agencies, etc.; and WHEREAS: Throughout the year, City of Buffalo departments and related agencies are confronted with various issues which may necessitate that changes be made to their policies, operations and structures of their respective organizational units. At present however, the only tune of year when City departments and related agencies are scheduled to meet with the Common Council to specifically engage in in-depth discussions on the overall challenges, needs, and changes in their operating units are during budget hearings and workshops; and WHEREAS: Although though City departments and agencies often apprise the Common Council of certain issues or changes within their units relating to items before the Council at caucus, committee mcetings, or through informal discussions, these discussions are typically focused on specific items at hand rather than the Department or Agency as a whole; and WHEREAS: Although the City of Buffalo offers a Citizen's Participation Academy to educate City residents on the roles, responsibilities, etc. of each City department, we lack a similar program to ensure that the employees and officers within the various operating units of City government remain apprised of up to date information concerning each of the other departments and agencies; and 6A. WHEREAS'. hi order to create a more efficient and transparent government for the City of Buffalo, it would be beneficial for City departments and agencies to meet with the Common Council bi- annually during the year specifically to discuss their overall unit, it's duties and responsibilities, identify lcey personnel whore.
