Negative Declaration This notice is issued pursuant to part 617 of.the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8 (SEAR — State Environmental Quality Review) of the Environmental Conservation Law. Lead Agency; City of Buffalo Planning Board Room 901, City Hail 65 Niagara Square Buffalo New York 14202 As per the provisions of SEAR, the Lead Agency has reviewed the following action as it relates to the environment: Action Title Business Expansion Location: 1615 William Street Type of Action; Uncoordinated - Unlisted Description: Kevin T. McCarthy Consulting Services on behalf of BSKD LLC, Master Tech Auto Corporation (Bison Fleet Services) is proposing to construct a new building and building addition on the -property located at 1615 William Street Buffalo New York, Bison currently performs its trucklautomotive repair and service work for its customers in three separate buildings with an aggregate square footage of approximately 10,000 sq. ft. The proposed plan calls for a new 12,000 sq. ft. addition to the existing brick building that fronts and abuts the William Street right of way. The proposed steel frame structure will be 114' long, 94' wide with an eve height of 18'. Supplemental office space will also be added to the brick building. The project has received permission from the City of buffalo Public Works to landscape the right of way New fencing will be installed as well as recladding the current corrugated sided buildings with stamped metal panels, New lit signage will also be added to help increase the visibility of the business. The project is privately funded in the amount of 500,000 dollars the developer is hoping that they will be able to complete the renovations in early 2012. As a result of this Environmental Review, the Lead Agency has determined the undertaking of this action will not have a significant adverse affect on the quality of the environment. No further environmental review of this action will be conducted prior to project implementation and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared, Reasons Supporting This Determination: The facts and reasons for this decision are as follows: The project will prevent a prominent local business employing local residents to remain in the City of Buffalo as well as increase business with the possibility of creating more employment opportunities. The identified potential negative impacts appear to be primarily short- term site preparation and construction related activities, and do not appear to be significant in magnitude or effect. There are no actions, which will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL BATE: October 12, 2011 FROM: - DEPARTMENT: Law SUBJECT: Request for Common Council and Planning Board Release of Appeal Band in connection with Ganco, Inc. v City Planning Board of the City of Buffalo and the Common Council of the City of Buffalo PRIOR COUNCIL REFERENCES: none Request is made by the Law Department to the Common Council for the Common Council to execute a Release in substantially the form which is attached to this communication in connection with the above referenced matter, Request is further made by the Law Department for the Common Council to refer this matter to the Planning Board with a recommendation from the Common Council that the Planning Board likewise execute a Release in substantially the form which is attached to this communication in connection with the above referenced matter. The very recently resolved dispute which gave rise to this matter arose in the mid 1990's when Ganco, Inc. ,(Principal, Harold Gantzer, now deceased) erected a boathouse building without proper permitting on Ganco's "First Buffalo Marina" property formerly located in Buffalo's inner harbor. The City and Ganco entered into litigation with respect to the unpermitted boathouse building. The litigation resulted in Ganco posting a $100,000 appeal bond (backed up by a letter of credit) in 2004 to secure a portion of the costs of the court ordered boathouse demolition in the event that Ganco lost the litigation/appeal and the City incurred expenses related to the boathouse demolition delays. Ganco lost the initial litigation as well as the appeal but the boathouse building was not demolished until October of 2011 after Ganco and or the Gantzer estate sold the First Buffalo Marina property to New York Power Authority "NYPA" (or an affiliate of NYPA) and the unpermitted boathouse building was demolished, In light of the boathouse building's October of 2011 demolition and at the request of the bond issuing company it is now appropriate to release the appeal bond. Accordingly, the Law Department is requesting that Your Honorable Body: 1. execute a Release in substantially the form which is attached to this communication, 2. refer this matter to the Planning Board with a recommendation from the Common Council that the Planning Board likewise execute a Release in substantially the form which is attached to this communication, and 0 3. authorize the Law Department and the Office of the City of Buffalo's Corporation Counsel to take such. further steps. and take such further actions and to execute such further documentation as shall be necessary to effectuate the release of the appeal bond in a manner that satisfactorily addresses all concerns of the City of Buffalo with respect to the disposition of this matter.

We have been visited by numerous companies that propose technological solutions such as pay by cell technology, single head meters with credit card options and pay and display technology. At this time I am requesting Your Honorable Body to grant our department permission to enter into a 90 day trial agreement with The IPS Group Inc. We will be installing 50 single head meters in various locations that have been determined based on usage patterns. These meters differ dramatically from our current single head meters. They are easier to program, accept coin and credit card and we will be able to download all the parking information daily. This will better track revenues as well as parking patterns. The goals of this trial are to assess the functionality, dependability, service, and ease of use for the consumer as well as our meter mechanics. We will also be assessing the impact on revenues and comparing them to our current revenue trends. Finally we will assess the perfomance of the IPS Single Head Meters to our current Pay and Display Meters. We also anticipate in the future entering into other trial agreements with other companies to test their equipment as well.

Suggested provisions of the amendment designed to ensure continued quality of life for those not wishing to participate in the practice of beekeeping might include: • limitations on the quantity of hives per residential lot, • requirements to obtain written consent of all adjacent neighbors/co- tenants, or • restriction of hives to the rear or backyard of a property, Please consider legalizing the practice of beekeeping in the City of Buffalo.

In 1986, Congress passed the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act (EPCRA), which established Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC) across the United States. These LEPCs were intended to identify chemical hazards, plan for emergencies, convey public information, and include all stakeholders. Locally, we are concerned that the mostly- volunteer LEPC is not able to fulfill the vision of EPCRA, particularly for community involvement, hazard communication, and hazard reduction. There are many facilities throughout. the City of Buffalo that may pose a risk to health and safety of residents if a quality emergency response system is not in place or if regular inspections are not completed. In addition to Chandler St, there have been two other fires at industrial facilities in residential neighborhoods since July of this year. There needs to be quality, inter- agency coninlunication and partnership, with representation from residents to prevent and react to disasters like this in the future. As we believe you know, the City of Buffalo's emergency disaster coordinator position has been left vacant for a few years. According to our research the last person who filled this position was Rodger Landon At the public accountability session on August 15th Eire Commissioner Whitfield stated that he is acting as the city's emergency response coordinator during this vacancy. Given the number of aging industrial facilities in residential neighborhoods in this city and the number of recent fires we believe the city's residents would be better protected if the city filled this position with another person who can dedicate all of his or her tune to developing robust, effective emergency prevention and response plans in partnership with the most affected communities. Clean Air Coalition of Western New York 341 Deluwafe Ave. Buffalo, NY Other LEPC's have used the Report Card" for Your Local Emergency Planning www.cacwny org Committee, created by the Working Group on Community Right -to -Know, to evaluate and improve emergency prevention and response. The entire document is attached to this letter. Below are questions that have been prioritized: 1. What is the chain of command for disaster response? 2. Who makes the call when residents are evacuated? 3. Why has the emergency response coordinator position been left vacant for so long? 4. What mechanisms are currently in place to communicate with residents (other than mass media) when there is a chemical fire or disaster? 5. How frequently are these plans updated, and who is responsible for doing that? G. What trainings has the fire department been sent to regarding emergency and disaster response? 7. Does the fire department have the adequate funding to send their leadership to emergency disaster response funding? 8. What is the attendance record of the fife commissioner at the LEPC meetings since he has been sworn in? 9. Has the fire commissioner (as the acting emergency response coordinator) evaluated the protective capacity of shelter and place structures? 10. Does each neighborhood have planned shelters and evacuation routes? How are those communicated to the public? 11. Who keeps track of the MSDS sheets of facilities? How are these sheets shared with the Police and Fire Departments, and residents? Thank you for your help on this issue. We look forward to talking more as these progresses.

The Buffalo Fire Museum could enhance the City's image if we could expand and be located on the waterfront The Fire Museum is more than just fire artifacts, it is a history of Buffalo as seen through the eyes of Firefighters. The Fire Museum tells the history of Buffalo, the innovations, the inventions and the people. A school teacher could use every facet to educate children not only about the way Buffalo developed, but also inspire them with the stories of Washington, Hamilton, Franklin and Revere who. helped develop the Fite Service. The teacher could incorporate lessons through the use of our displays: to every imaginable subject he or she teaches. We could put in Fire Prevention Modules with simulated fire and smoke: for children to learn to escape. We could have household situations where children could identify potential hazards, possibly saving a life. We have the designs for building these Fire Prevention Modules, so let's get started. I know I'm anxious, but you'11 be the Mayor soon and Buffalo needs to be a tourist destination. Please believe we the Buffalo Fire Museum can be the greatest in the country. We have the largest variety o f artifacts from what I have seen so far in many other Fire Museums. The problem where we arc is that every artifact is jammed close to the other artifacts, so visitors don't appreciate all that we have. It is as though they cannot sec the forest through the trees. The visitors cannot see the artifacts because the displays are in the way. We need a larger building, and Buffalo needs a jolt to get it going ! 1 would like to hear from you. Remember, this is just between us right now. 1 h vent gone to our Museum Board yet. If you're interested, I'll bring this up at our Board Meeting. 'hank you very much for your consideration.

KRUG AAA7THCw FISHER It is my great pleasure to welcome the National Trust for Historic Preservation and all of you to Buffalo, New York. Buffalo has extraordinary architecture and many historic treasures that are playing a leading role in our city's revitalization. I hope you will enjoy visiting Buffalo and its friendly people. South Buffalo's architectural heritage includes South Park and Cazenovia Park, two gems of the Buffalo Olmsted Park System, as well as the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens, which were created by architects Lord & Burnham, Co. and botanist John F. Cowell in the Victorian style. Buffalo is truly a city of neighborhoods, and nestled within them you will find hidden jewels such as 49 Buffum St., the oldest home in South Buffalo. Although 49 Buffum lacks the architectural pedigree of some of our city's better known buildings, the home offers an interesting glimpse into life in Buffalo during our city's formative years and is rumored to have once been a stop on the Underground Railroad. Once destined for demolition due to fire damage and years of neglect, 49 Buffum has undergone extensive repairs and restoration and today stands as a point of pride for the community and a tangible symbol of South Buffalo's proud history. To help acquaint you with these remarkable sites, we have prepared informational packets and arranged for experts to be available to discuss their involvement with these projects. We hope that you find these materials and speakers helpful and informative. Interest in preserving Buffalo's historic and architectural legacy has exploded in recent years, and as a Conference Attendee you are visiting our city at an incredibly exciting time, I have been challenged and inspired through my involvement with 49 Buffum and other local preservation projects, and am proud to have the opportunity to share these treasures with you, Please feel free to contact me if you have. any questions or if I can provide you with any assistance during your stay in Buffalo, "The City of Good Neighbors." 4 F¢ elxiej«f'strff James S. 1 1 1jak Senior Legislative Assistant IF Kevin 1W, Linder 3eniorLegisiatireAssistattls , Mark J.

Brown Buffalo City Hall Room 201 Buffalo, NY 14202 RE. '2012 Capital Budget Recommendation and 2012 Bond Sale Recommendation Dear Mayor Brown; The Citizens Planning Council (CPC) in accordance with Section 20 -23 of the Charter of the City of Buffalo (Charter) hereby submits to you our recommended capital budget for the 2012 calendar year. Attached to this letter are the spreadsheets outlining the 2012 recommended capital budget and the related 2012 recommended bend sale. Additionally, based upon the. information prodded by City staff, the. CPC .has prepared a recommendation with respect to the four -year capital improvement program as required by the Charter. The Office of Strategic Planning (CSC) has.been successful in complying with Charter benchmarks, while diligently pursuing verifiable data to support the budget requests; The OOP notified all. relevant parties of the capital budget process and all were invited to participate, submit comments, and to appear before the CPC. We thank all who appeared. before the CPO to enable it to determine a workable 2012 capital budget, T llrnan Ward The projects recommended by the CPC for the 2012 band sale and 2012 capital budget were based upon a'variety of factors explained. in detail. below. The more than $78 million in requests, considering the sales Comptroller's cap of $22,0 million for the City and $5 million for the Beard of The Honorable Byron W. Brown October 7, 2011 Page 2 of 4 dueatlon (B04 presented a challenging budgeting task: In order to address so many- requests with such limited. funding, the CPC used its previously established priorities for funding. The classifications considered for ordering projects included those having an impact upon health and safety, annual commitments, the availability of state and federal and other motching funds, and priority projects. The BOE submitted three requests for funding totaling $5 million, all of which fell into the availability of state and federal matching funds category. The BOE's requested fuming is for reconstruction and improvements at various school buildings that are not included in the current Joint Schools Construction Board (JSCB) program. Additional funding Was included:for the purchase of computer equipment for students and faculty at tSCB Phase . Nzcl ools. All projects will receive a 98 % match as debt service. over the life of the bond and are therefore recommended for funding., The buffalo Fire Department (B D) and Buffalo Police. Department (BPD) made presentations. to the CPC. CPC and OSP staff members have worked closely with both departments to determine their most pressing needs and priorities. Additional funding for. BFI's request to purchase command vehicles and upgrade its facilities, and the BPD.s request for building improvements to its headquarters sand police district buildings are recommended, due to their impact on health and safety. The CPC's request to purchase office furniture and appurtenances for its lock -up facility is also recommended. This facility was funded by the 2011 CIP, as the City: assumes responsibility for the detention of male prisoners befog arraignment which is a more efficient and less costly way for BPD to handle this necessary function. The CPC discussed the issue of demolitions in the City of Buffalo at length and has decided to recommend funding in the amount of $2,700,000, an increase over the previous year. Tile request falls under the health and safety category and is considered to be an urgent annual requirement. A number of cultural organizations appeared before the CPC with many worthy requests for building renovations and other capital needs. There was much discussion about priorities and outside funding opportunities. The CPC decided that all of the requests were worthy of attention, but due to budget constraints, most of them could not,be recommended for funding. Therefore, the CPC recommends that the Buffalo Arts Commission, Buffalo and Erie County Public Libraries, the Buffalo Zoological Society, the Buffalo Museum of Science, and the Theatre of Mouth (TOY) be funded as outlined in the attached budget. The CPC views the Buffalo Zoo's request to Band a. new polar bear exhibit not only as. a renovation, but as an important economic .d.evelopment investment that will leverage additional funding, attract rhore Visitors to the City and region, and improve the competitiveness of a key regional cultural asset. In working with the Commissioner of Public Works, time The Honorable Byron W. Brown October. 7, 2011 Wage 3 of 4 CPC was able to move the Theatre of Youth's (TOY) renovation request into a DPW funding source. CPC thanks the Commissioner for bhis willingness to take on this project and looks forward to the completion of TOY's maintenance project in 2012, .The Department of Public Works (DPW) had by tar the largest requests in volume and cost. As previously noted; the importance of health and safety, and the availability of matching fdnds, were two top criteria for Binding recommendations for the 2011 Capital Budget. The CPC, QBP, and DPW have worked together to identifythe greatest reeds and priorities of the Department. Two DPW projects. are accompanied by a funding match from state and federal funds and are therefore recommended for funding. These projects are primarily in the area of streets reconstruction. Additional infrastructure improvements within City right of "ways have also been recommended. DPi11l's annual commitments included citywide infrastructure improvements City owned building repair; citywide parks, bridge repairs, and streets vehicles. The C.PC recognizes the : importance of these anneal commitments and recommends that they be funded in the 2D12 Capital Budget. Once all of the health and safety, annual commitments, and matching funds projects have been accounted for, there is little' flexibility of funding for priority projects, Although many of the requests have strong merit, only certain high priority items "have been funded after careful consideration. The CPC recommends that these priority projects be funded in the amounts outlined in the attached budget. The CPC realizes that the needs are far greater than the available budget can fund and is deeply concerned about a decreasing forecasted funding trend. While w respect the Comptroller's disciplined approach for managing capital debt, the limited amount made available to the City to maintain its infrastructure, buildings, parks, and other amenities. is woefully insufficient. The CPC is deeply concerned over the number of projects needing to be ,done and low this lack of funding will impact riot just the quality of life and safety of our citizens, but also the climate for economic development and the maintenance and improvement of property values. Accordingly, thy;. CPC recommends that the Comptroller increase the City's capital spending level beginning in 2012, In addition to providing a projected capital spending cap over the next five years,. we also recommend that you request that the Comptroller provide us with a detailed. projection of the debt service from the city general obligation .bonds that will be outstanding over these same time periods. The CPC is a dedicated group of volunteers selected by the Mayor, Common Council, and BOO. We deliver perspectives from many areas of expertise. This group has worked together with the goal of moving the City forward with an efficacious strategic vision and plan for capital expenditures, while demonstrating The Honorable Byron W, Brown October 7, 2011 Page 4 of 4 fiscal discipline and restraint. The members of the G.PC look forward to continuing to work with you for the benefit of our City. cc: Hon-Members of the Common Council President of the Buffalo School Board Superintendent of the BuNtlo Public Schools Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority Comptroller of the City of Buffalo.

Page 1 of 1 z co o From the The Business Review:` http:ltwww.bizjournals.com/albany/morning __�call/2011/06/albany-county-legislators-want-to-pull.htmI Date; Tuesday, June 7, 2011, 6 :30am EDT r � .J Barbara Pinckne Reporter - The Business Review Email Members of the Albany County Legislature are calling for the county to pull its money from Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase. The 25 legislators signed a proclamation urging Jahn McPhillips, commissioner of management and budget, to close the county's $90 million account from Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and to discontinue procurement cards with JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM). The legislators are concerned about the number of foreclosures in the county, and noted that both banks have a significant number of area homes on the delinquency list. The proclamation states that Bank of America has 465 delinquencies in the region and JPMorgan has 3 area homes in danger of foreclosure. - The proclamation also claims the banks have "demonstrated a lack of willingness to engage in good -faith efforts" to modify bans and help people keep their homes. Bank of America officials had no comment on the petition. Officials of JPMorgan were not immediately available for comment. The effort, headed by county legislators Norma Chapman, Doug Bullock and Timothy Nichols, is part of a statewide campaign by NY Communities for Change. The county legislature has a total of 39 members, meaning 14 did not sign. All 25 petitioners are Democrats. Bank of America, which is based in Charlotte, N.C., has 40 branches, and about $1.4 billion in deposits, in the Albany market. New York City -based JPMorgan has no area retail branches but does have a commercial lending office in Albany. Pinckney covers banking, health care, media and advertising.

Pridgen, Ellicott District In Attendance: Various 500 block of Main St. business and building owners, Buffalo Place, City of Buffalo Division of Real Estate representative, local entrepreneurs, and Real. Estate Agents. Main concerns are as follows: o Capital investments o None have been made in the downtown area. Traffic • Two -way traffic needs to return. • Car sharing needs to come back to this stretch of Main Street. • Parking o Parking should be allowed. • OTB and the plaza located at 501 Main (aka Mohawk Plaza) o Has been a big detriment; mostly because of vagrants. • Vagrants • Large population on Main St, between Mohawk and Huron. • Known for excessive drug dealing, alcohol consumption, and panhandling. • Responsible for public indecency and using the corporate /commercial buildings as lavatories. Becomes very difficult to maintain duality of their buildings. • Police presence • Increase the number of foot patrols. • Mounted police claim not to have authority over Buffalo Police patrol cars. • Conditions of 500 Block • Needs to be more clean -up measures • Requesting current garbage cans that are located on lamp posts be removed and replaced with larger cans that have tops. They are too small, have no lids, and overflow too easily onto the floor. • Conditions for the 500 Block of Main are a deterrent for tourists and other professionals who frequent the City of Buffalo downtown establishments. They leave numerous comments on internet websites that detail the deteriorating conditions of buildings, numbers of vagrants, and filthy appearance the 500 block. • Cameras o Business owners are interested in aiding with the financing of cameras to be placed for security purposes on the 500 block of Main Street. ® Taxes o Tax abatement for those business owners who improve their building. q , r` r Types of business to be present downtown • Retail • Professional • Etc. ® Role of business downtown • Should be working with the small business owners in the area. • Should partner with city services that are established to aid vagrants; they realize they do not merely want to move them off of their block onto another. Holidays o Business owners are interested in joining together to decorate and make the 500 Block more attractive during the holiday seasons. Art Exhibits • Art studios are to be opened on the ground floor of 515 Main Street. • Other business owners are very interested and strongly encourage the introduction of more artists and art exhibits into their buildings to showcase Buffalo artistry. • Encourage live entertainment to be brought to their block. Council Member Pridgen pledged to: • Research garbage can issue. • Meet concerning a comprehensive plan to place artwork in empty storefront windows. • Meet with Buffalo Place to encourage artists to have outside exhibits during the summer months. • Meet with Buffalo Police Department concerning safety issues. • Research cost of security cameras. • Continue to meet with building owners. Ellicott District Council Member 00043 TO: FROM: 0 Gerald Chwalinski Council Member Darius G. Pridgen October 18, 2011 The Homeowners and Bank Protection Act 1 would like to file the attached information for the next Common Council meeting to be held on October 18, 2011. Thank You, - , 6- Darius G. Pridgen Ellicott District Council Member �J� An Urgent bequest of Common Council Memhers Sponsor and support a Resolution for UR1489 12 October, 2011 On November 13, 2007, the Council had the foresight to endorse a Resolution for the Homeowners and Bank Protection Act. Unfortunately that initiative did not become law. It has been documented by a federal commission., that in that decade, the banks spent 2.8 billion dollars to fight against any such initiatives. The reward for them was their own bankruptcy as they chased their speculation fantasies. The reward for the country has been total devastation of the real economy. Now, as the park at your front door is being occupied in protest to what has been dune to our country, it is time to fight even harder to insure sanity . finally prevails before the country is destroyed. I have attached a copy of the recent resolution passed in Middlesex NJ for a model, as well as other supporting documents. I am available during the next 24 hours to assist to put this item on the agenda for next Tuesday's meeting. Thank you for your past efforts to fight for the citizens of your city.

Tuesday, September 13, 20116:42 PM To: MayorBrownWebMail Cc: Councilmember Pridgen; Councilmember Smith; Councilmember Russell Subject: Memorial Poles instead of Teddy Bears To whom that is concerned: I ride through the city streets everyday. On most streets in the ghetto, you see teddy bears dropping and germy, on a pole on almost every street in the city. It looks so disgusting and I, myself would rather cross the street than walk near one of these make -shift memorial of some one's dead child. After a couple of winters you see these thing hanging, limply on the poles and they look so disgusting and filthy. I understand the sentiment, and the fact, that too many of our young people are dying. But after a year or two of our weather beating on these thing; these items become an eyesore. Why can't the city offer, for a small price, to the grieving family, to have an outline of the person's face painted on a pole, along with the birth and date of death. Most families could come up with a small sum to pay for this, and it would probably cost the city nothiing. This is only my opinion! This way we can make our city look like we are truly proud. Our neighborhoods now look like a graveyard for our dying children we have lost, and also, the dying teddy bears that year after year hangs his headJo in shame on a pole. It is only a suggestion, it would make our neighborhoods look a lot better than they do now. Anyway, who was the nut who decided that hanging the teddy bears on the pole was a good idea! Thanks for listening to my opinion. Jo Alice Rodgers REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON 1? . Mr Smith, While reading the Initial Common Council proceedings I read. your resolution on the makeshift memorials. I agree with you and the concerned citizens on the impact on the streets where they are located. I may have a solution. I remembered while travleing to London, England a while back I walked through a small park that was dedicated to people that had died from self sacrifice. 11th Ilen vikin dia.c�r9L -- Pc st►man`s _Park Although the circumstance is different in this case the concept is worthy. The people are honored with a simple the plague. I am sure there is city owned land that could be used for a Garden of Rememberence. A place where it would be peacefull and people could reflect on thier lost relatives and friends. just wanted to add my input. Best regards, Tom Muscarella i From: Crystal Bixby [crbIxby@gmaII.co.mJ Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 5:35 PM To: Councilmember Smith Subject: street memorial suggestion My nave is Crystal Reese. I recently moved here from New Mexico where things like drunk driving is a daily occurrence. One of the things you find a lot of are wooden crosses on the side of the street for a memorial.. There are certain guidelines for how far array they need to be from the curbs. Since I have moved here, I have noticed many eye -sores of weathered memorials. While I understand the purpose of the memorials, soaked stuffed animals, empty alcohol containers, etc does create a health hazard and can cause other issues. To keep the families of lost loved ones respected and give the community what they want, I would suggest putting wooden crosses in instead of the existing memorials. I will be happy to elaborate more if you would like. You can contact me by email or by phone of 716- 361 -8485. Thank you, Crystal Reese 1 Good morning, Regarding the story on wgrz about Street Memorials, I am a Buffalo. resident. Please have them taken down after a .relatively short period of time.

Just a thought:) 1 Burks,Tasha Franc: Sharon Bailey [1 sosharon@a gmaii.com] Seat: Thursday, October 06, 20115:17 PM To: Councilmember Smith Subject: Roadside Memorials: Feaceprints Plants Alternative Dear Councilmember Smith, The custom of roadside memorials is centuries old. The observance of the memorials are personal in nature, commemorating the a loved one's loss of life. While the curbside condolences are a tonic for grief for the victim's family, for the rest of the public they are interminable showcases of death, tragedy and perhaps consequences of violence. In neighborhoods ravaged by vacant homes, graffiti, drugs, and low resources, the memorials become constant emblems of affliction diminishing not only curb appeal but community spirit. The shrines are frequently assembled on municipal trees and streetlights, in front of businesses, schools and homes. The shrines are part of the scenery for citizens driving to work, and students bussed to school. The formation of roadside memorials on or near utility, street sign, bus stops and parking posts should be strictly prohibited. Perhaps "Stop The Violence ", Peaceprints Buffalo or Buffalo Board of Block Clubs could collaborate with Buffalo in Bloom and establish an in- memoriam trees /plants /flowers program. Family and friends of victims could purchase a "green memorial" to be taken home or planted in a community garden. I look forward to the public hearing on this matter. Regards, Sharon Bailey Sir, I am a Buffalo police Homicide detective. As you know there are two sides to these memorials. The one side is it gives the victims family and friend a place and chance to say goodbye and remember their loved one whose life was violently taken from them. The other is the neighbors who have to not only put up with violence in the streets but then have to deal with the victim's family and friends hanging out in front of their homes to all hours of the night. Unfortunately there is no easy solution because no matter what you do someone will be upset. I believe the white dove is a nice memorial to show the city and police have not forgotten the victim and their families. However what does empty alcohol bottles, scratch of tickets and stuffed animals have to do with remembering the deceased. it is not only an eye sore but it sends the wrong message to today's youth. The reason a majority of these victim's are murdered is because of drugs, alcohol and even gambling. why let these displays continue to exist where kids who are playing see it constantly. Memorials belong in cemeteries not in the streets of Buffalo. Another choice is to let the memorials happen but only for a short period of time then all the bottles are cleaned up by city employees. Sent via BlackBerry from T- Mobile i Untitled ROADSIDE MEMORIALS when i first seen a roadside memorial i honestly didn't know what it was..once i found out, i felt bad for the family members who lost a loved one-as time went on i began seeing more and more memorials..i understand why family members put these memorials up, but with the rain, or snow and or other elements, they only look trashy. the wet, matted (and im sure) smell of the teddy bears, photos just look down right nasty and the memorials are just eyesores... These memorials are being put up throughout cities. They are also being put up for all types of deaths; whether it be stabbings, shootings, car accidents or what ever the tragedy was. My problem is (and I know for a fact I am not the only one) that the violence has gotten more and more out of hand. Therefore, more and more of these memorials.. These memorials are on all types of utility poles, etc. There are not just on highways, they are on small streets as well. If you go down the majority of streets, you will see these memorials.. If I was someone looking for a place to live and seen even one of these memorials, I would definitely not look for a home on that particular street. I would not know how that person died and I would be thinking strictly a violent area. If I was someone coming from another city or state i would think twice about moving to a area that has all of these memorials on these streets. As I stated previously, they are also put up on small streets too..it makes that area look quite unsafe. My biggest. problem also is that last year I seen a youth reach into one of the memorials that was on a pole. He reached behind a matted, dirty teddy bear and pulled out something. The person that I was with said that's where people put and pick up their drugs. I was told its the best spots. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would never have thought about something like that and drug people using the memorials for that purpose. I just feel there should be ONE designated place for all of the memorials. It's just too much, seeing so many in a neighborhood and it doesnt make that particular area look clean and or safe. 0 00 Mr. Demone Smith Masten District Councilmember 65 Niagara Square, Room 1316A Buffalo, New York 14202 -3318 Dear Councilmember Smith: x1/41 t 0 c /13 /1- C� The Goveznor has forwarded me your letter of September 26, 2011 regarding funding for foreclosure prevention services. Thank you. The foreclosure crisis is an ongoing critical issue confronting many New Yorkers. The Banking Department carefully monitors pre - foreclosure notice filings, and we receive regular reports by county, which are updated monthly. The Department is also a lead agency partnering with the 50 State Attorneys General on a nationwide investigation into mortgage seivicers for violations including the use of faulty documentation. In addition, the Department is conducting its own compliance and fraud investigations into a number of mortgage setvicers and mortgage originators. This work will continue, and issues relating to home foreclosures will remain a focus and priority as the Department of Financial Services came into being on October 3, 2011. I understand that members of the Statewide Campaign to Save the Foreclosure Prevention Services Program met with Executive Chamber and Division of Budget staff on Tuesday, September 20, 2011. I was informed that this was a productive meeting, and that staff has requested from the coalition additional information on their programs in order to better evaluate the economic impact of their efforts. Next year's budget looks to be as challenging as the last. It is incumbent upon the State to effectively prioritize among the many needs of our citizens in the face of this harsh economic reality. I assure you that we will take a close look at funding for foreclosure prevention as we progress through the budget - making process. I thank you for your advocacy on behalf of New Yorkers facing foreclosure, and invite you to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

We are one of the strongest rated financial partners of the City with an Aa3 credit rating from Moody's and the capacity, collateral and capital to meet any of the City's financial needs. Some recent examples of our support include: • Providing the most competitive interest rate on the City's Investment Funds. • Providing the most competitive Lease Rate on the City's Lease financing of Garbage Totes. • In July 2010 — The Comptroller's Office sold their first Bond issue via a competitive sale. JPMorgan purchased the $22.7 Million Bond, saving the City thousands in interest expense. • During the 2008 Financial Crisis — JPMorgan Chase provided the City of Buffalo Water Finance Authority with a $63 Million better of Credit that enabled the Authority to restructure a costly borrowing arrangement. The rate provided by JPMorgan Chase saved the City over $250,000 compared to the next closest bid. • JPMorgan Chase has been a valued partner of the City's Gun Buy Back Program, since inception, by providing the Cash Cards at no cost to the City.

For 31 years we have brought the Corporate Challenge Race to Delaware Park showcasing the Park and the City while generating a $1 Million local economic impact. Since 2007 alone, JPMorgan Chase has donated over $143,000 to local charities... such as the Police Athletic League of Buffalo and the Olmstead Park's Conservancy as "Race .Beneficiaries ". Our foundation has supported many local organizations such as the United Way's Community East Side School Initiative and.Legal Services for the Elderly & Disabled as part of the Mayor's Anti Flipping Mask Force. JPMorgan Chase employees have been active in many civic causes ranging from Mentoring Programs at Grover Cleveland High School and PS 69 Houghton Academy to Habitat for Humanity projects. Since January 2010, JPMorgan Chase has directly lent over $267 Million to Western New York School Districts and Municipalities, more than. any other local bank by a wide margin. We realize that what is of most concern to Council Members are the struggles that homeowners are having with their mortgages. The attached presentation highlights the programs and initiatives that JPMorgan Chase has taken to assist struggling homeowners. We also realize that vacant properties as a result of foreclosures are a blight that needs to dealt with. We are working with the City of Buffalo to partner on a vacant property pilot program to address properties that create blight in communities. Please note that JPMorgan Chase has ownership of less than 10 vacant properties in the City of Buffalo and we are working to expedite the foreclosure process on the remaining vacant properties that are tied up in the legal process. The number of struggling homeowners with Chase Mortgages is a small percentage of the mortgages held by other financial institutions. Buffalo City Council City of Buffalo October 18, 2011 Page 3 As detailed in the attached Deck...JPMorgan Chase has made extensive efforts to. help borrowers that have fallen behind on their payments: Over the last two years, Chase has helped more than 697,000 homeowners avoid foreclosure nationwide. In New York alone, Chase offered nearly 56,000 modifications to struggling borrowers and has prevented more than 23,000 foreclosures in the state — preventing 10 foreclosures for every one foreclosure. We have participated in 78 Chase, HOPE NOW, and non profit sponsored outreach events in New York through July 2011, where we have assisted over 5,700 borrowers. Chase also opened 82 permanent Homeownership Centers across the country were customers can meet face -to -face with trained loan advisors. Customers can always call 866- 550 -5705 or visit ww w.chase.com /myhome for assistance. We have added more than 10,100 new employees nationwide since 2008 to work with distressed borrowers, including more than 700 in Albion and 350 in Rochester. We would welcome the opportunity to further discuss these initiatives with the Council and find ways to work together to assist homeowners in the City of Buffalo. Sincerely, J Fred M.

JP MC has consistently provided the City with the most aggressive investment rates and borrowing rates. JPMorgan Chase is one of the strongest rated financial partners of the City with a Aa 3 Credit Rating from Moody's and the capacity to fully collateralize all investments with US Treasury securities. Chase has the capital to meet the investment and borrowing needs of an organization of Buffalos size. During the 2008 Financial Crisis — JPMorgan Chase provided the City of Buffalo Water F.inance Authority with a $63MM Letter of Credit that allowed the WFA to restructure a very costly borrowing arrangement. The rate provided by JPMC was 40 bps below the next closest bidder—saving the City over $250,000. In July 2010, the City Comptroller's Office competitively sold a $22.7M11 Bond issue. This was the City's first competitive sale in many years and would be an indication of how the market perceived the City's improving financial condition. JPMC bought the bond issue at a very competitive rate. On October 7, 2011, JPMC provided a $2.7MM lease to the City to finance the purchase of garbage totes. oz JF41C has worked closely with the Comptroller's Office to support the Mayor's Gun Buyback initiative. JPMC has provided the Cash Cards that are used to pay folks for turning in guns. JPMorgan Chase - City of Buffalo Community Support For 31 year ' s — JPMC has brought the Corporate Challenge Road Race to Buffalo. This event is the single largest outdoor sporting/socia.1 event in Buffalo outside of a Bills game. This event attracts 12,000 runners from over 400 companies along with an additional 15,000 spectators and supporters to Delaware Park. It is a great showcase for the City and the Park. In addition to the $1 MM local economic impact that the event has, since 2007, JPMC has donated over $143M to local charitable organizations as "Race Beneficiaries" including: Olmstead Park Conservancy - Buffalo Prep - Police Athletic League of Buffalo —Youth Summer Job Program - Local Initiatives Services Corporation — Groundwork's Neighborhood Revitalization Project Child Care Resource Network. JP MC has supported many other Buffalo Organizations including the United Way's Community School Initiative on the East Side of Buffalo and Legal Services for the Elderly Disabled as part of the Mayor's Anti flipping Task Force. JF41C has supported many Municipalities and School Districts across WNY by saving them thousands of their borrowing costs. JPMC has made more loans to local School Districts and Municipalities than any other local bank by a wide margin! Since January 2010, we have directly lent over $267MM to over 100 School Districts and Municipalities across WNY 10 d PETITIONS October 18, 2011 00048 J.

The notice said the reason I have to move is becaus`e my neighbors have been complaining about noise. I think the real reason he wants me to move is because I reported him to the Health r iepartment. What can I do? The situation described is considered to be, landlord retaliation. When a lardlord tries to evict the tenant or changes the terms of lease because the tenant has tried to protec [ their rights under the lease or the law, it is considered retaliation. However, as described below, retaliation is not a complete defense to an eviction or a change in the lease. In other woris, you znipbt still be evictcd even though your landlord is retaliating against you. What types of actions are protected from retaliation?

What can I do if my landlord is attempting to retaliate against me? If you believe that the reason your landlord is attempting to evict you or change your lease is because of one of the protected actions listed above you should bring that to the attention of your attorney or the judge.
