The Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency (BURA) worked with the Local Office of HUD over the past year developing this best practice approach and will continue to work with the Local Office during implementation. The Annual Action Plan continues to work within the Livable Communities framework enacted in the City's Consolidated Plan. The neighborhood development strategy unites neighborhood business and community development programs in BURA. Funding priorities are guided by public comment received during the Green Code process, information received from the 311 Call & Resolution Center, and neighborhood assessments conducted by BURA planning staff. Existing programs, such as the demolition program, public infrastructure improvements, public service agencies, and housing are all accounted for within the neighborhood planning initiatives and will be supplemented this year with a new commercial corridor program guided by a consultant with national experience providing assistance to businesses and business associations, a new business development loan program, and micro - enterprise assistance. The Annual Action Plan continues the strong commitment to assisting senior citizens and youth by committing approximately $750,000 for senior programs and approximately $750,000 for youth programs. Greater emphasis will also be placed on using the HOME Investment Partnership Grant to meet the housing needs of seniors and veterans. In furtherance of its responsibilities for the management of federal funds, the City of Buffalo will augment the present monitoring of sub recipients including additional bookkeeping reviews, criminal background checks of individuals with primary responsibility for management of federal funds, and a review of best practices at the individual agencies. The purpose is twofold: to improve efficiency in an economic climate where funding sources have dwindled; and to provide a complete profile of each agency's ability to deliver needed programs to the citizens of the City. Cooperation by the sub recipients to the satisfaction of the City will be a condition to funding. 1 Pursuant to HUD's citizen participation requirements, the City's 2012 -2013 Annual Action Plan has been developed through a public hearing process and is designed to carry out the objectives in the City's approved 2008 -2012 Consolidated Plan. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, s1GNATURE Brendan Mehaffy, Executive Di ctor, Mayor's Office of Strategic Planning Office of Strategic Planning .Brendan MehafFy, Execrative Director & Vice - Chairman, Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency .. ,.:r: In 1990, the United States Congress passed the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act which required local governments receiving Federal funds for the administration of housing and community development programs to prepare a five -year plan showing the use of Federal resources. The Consolidated Plan for Mousing and Community Development is a prerequisite for the City's annual funding from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for four Federal entitlement programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOMO, the Emergency Solutions Grant (SG), and Housing Opportunities for People with Aids (HOPWA). The annual funding of the City's priority projects is described in the Annual Action Plan. Each project addresses one of the City's most critical needs in economic development, neighborhood revitalization, housing development, and public services for low and moderate - income families and homelessness. Again this year, funds for the CDBG and HOME programs were cut. The CDBG allocation for Buffalo was cut by almost $1.2 million (over 8 %) and the HOME allocation was cut by over $1.7 million (nearly 40 %). In recognition of the important programs administered by community /public service providers, the City is proportionately spreading the CDBG cuts among all its present public service providers. In furtherance of its responsibilities for the management of federal funds, the City of Buffalo will augment the present monitoring of sub recipients including additional bookkeeping reviews, criminal background checks of individuals with primary responsibility for management of federal funds, and a review of best practices at the individual agencies. The purpose is twofold: to improve efficiency in an economic climate where funding sources have dwindled; and to provide a complete profile of each agency's ability to deliver needed programs to the citizens of the City. Cooperation by the sub recipients to the satisfaction of the City will be a condition to funding. I Each year the City solicits citizen participation in developing the Annual Action Plan. The City's Office of Strategic Planning officials conducted a public hearing and an application workshop to enhance community participation. Brendan Mehaffy, Executive Director of Strategic Planning, conducted a public hearing on community needs which was held on October 12, 2011 at the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. Mr. Mehaffy provided estimated amounts for entitlements, reviewed the Consolidated Plan's goals and objectives, reviewed the adoption process, and addressed participant comments and concerns. Mr. Mehaffy also discussed the City's targeting efforts in the Livable Communities. A Technical Assistance Workshop was held on October 13, 2011 at the Delavan Grider Community Center, The City's application and handbook were streamlined to make the process easier for non - profit agencies to apply for funding. Ms. Margreta Mobley, BURA Director of Administration, conducted the Workshop. Technical assistance was provided for agency capacity, performance measurement, allowable costs, allocable costs, and cost allocation. The Consolidated Plan Goals were reviewed and guidance was provided on the types of activities eligible for funding. A Public Notice advertising the public hearing and application workshop was printed in the legal section of the Buffalo Mews, a publication with the greatest distribution throughout the City. The Public Notice was also advertised in the La Ultima Hera to reach out to minority and ethnic populations. The City also sent out approximately 700 notices of the Adoption Process Schedule to individuals, block clubs, the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority, and community groups. The City's community based nonprofit organizations posted the notices in their centers. The public hearing and workshop were also advertised on the City's web site. The application package was available on the City's Office of Strategic Planning's web site at htt :I /www.cit - buffalo.comlHome /Cit De artmentslOffice of Strate is Plannin IConsolidatedPlanDocuments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Annual Action Flan reflects the City's funding priorities and identifies the projects proposed to receive Federal funds under the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA programs. The Annual Action Plan describes priority projects for neighborhood revitalization, public improvements, housing development, economic development, public services, and homeless activities. The City of Buffalo will receive $17,897,986 in Federal grants from HUD's Community Planning and Development Programs. For fiscal year 2012, HUD has provided the following allocations for the City's Community Planning Development Grants: $1.3,319,409 for CDBG (plus utilize $1,300,000 of program income generated from prior years' grant activities), $2,768,683 for HOME (plus $250,000 of program income), $550,703 for HOPWA, and $1,259,191 for ESG. In addition, the City received an additional $396,740 in ESG funds for the 2011 fiscal year. For the upcoming 2012 -2013 fiscal year (Year 38) the federal reductions as distributed by HUD, are as follows: Community Development $14,540,753 $1,221,344 $13,319,409 - 8.399% Block Grant (CDBG) - Cazenovia Park - Medical Park - Seneca 1Triangle - Schiller Park HOME Investment $4,476,638 - $1,707,955 $2,768,683 -38.153% Partnership (HOME) Housing Opportunities for $567,151 - $16,448 $550,703 -2.9% Persons with Aids (HOPWA) Emergency Solutions Grants $705,316 x-$553,875 $1,259,191 +78.529% (ESG) TOTAL $20,289,858 - 2,391,872 $17,897,986 - 11.789% As the table above shows, the HOME program was reduced most significantly. The CDBG Program also took another significant cut. In recognition of the important programs administered by community /public service providers, the city is proportionately spreading the CDBG cuts among all its current public service providers. CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG activities leverage millions of dollars in State, local, and private financing. They enhance the City's housing and community development programs, supporting safe, well- planned, attractive residential and business districts. CDBG financed projects respond to the most urgent needs of limited income residents. The City estimates that over 70% of the funding allocated to CDBG activities will benefit low to moderate income persons with the remainder targeted to alleviate slum and blight. This year's Annual Action Plan funds a "place- based" neighborhood development approach announced in last year's State of the City. The Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency (BURA) worked with the Local Office of HUD over the past year developing this best practice approach and will continue to work with the Local Office during implementation. This year's Annual Action Plan continues to work within the Livable Communities framework enacted in the City's 2008 -2012 Consolidated Plan. The 13 Livable Communities identified in the City's Consolidated Plan lnclude: - Willert Park Homeownership Zone - Lakeview - Black Rock - Leroy - BroadwaylFillmore - Cold Springs - Cazenovia Park - Medical Park - Seneca 1Triangle - Schiller Park - GrantlFerry - Hamlin Park - Masten Park 2 The neighborhood development strategy unites neighborhood business and community development programs in BURA. Funding priorities are guided by public comment received during the Green Code process, information received from the 311 Call & Resolution Center, and neighborhood assessments conducted by BURA planning staff. Existing programs, such as the demolition program, public infrastructure improvements, public service agencies, and housing are all accounted for within the neighborhood plans. To be a success as a comprehensive strategy, we are proposing additional programs and activities. The following are the proposed business development programs: 1. Commence a New Commercial Corridor Program Guided by a Consultant with National Experience Providing Assistance to Businesses and Business Associations in Designated Districts 2. Restart the Fapade Program 3. Commence BURA's Business Development Loan Program 4. Open Business Development Centers Offering Incubator Space and Business Technical Assistance 5. Develop a Food Oriented Micro - enterprise Program Based in the Broadway Market The fallowing are the proposed community development programs and activities: 1. Award HOME Funds via a Request for Proposal Process . 2. Develop a Deconstruction Program that 'Trains Youth in Distressed Neighborhoods 3. Hire a Consultant to Remove the City's Irrelevant Urban Renewal Areas from the Books and Advise on New Urban Renewal Areas 4. Fund an Analysis of the Needs of Buffalo's Recently Arrived Immigrant Population for Inclusion in the Upcoming Consolidated Plan 5. Undertake Demolition of Large Scale Commercial /industrial Properties Blighting Neighborhoods. Revitalization of deteriorating neighborhoods will be accomplished through residential rehab, weatherization, demolition and clearance of blighted structures. Priority will be given to preserving the existing housing stock through rehabilitation and energy efficiency to maintain a high level of quality.housing for low- and moderate - income residents. Buffalo has been named one of only 15 Green and Healthy Homes Initiative pilot sites across the country. Based on models from around the country, Buffalo's GHHI will align and coordinate public and private funding sources and programs for weatherization, lead hazard control, asthma control, and other home health and safety interventions in low income homes. Another major goal is to support public services that improve the health, welfare and safety of residents, especially the elderly, frail elderly, the homeless, persons with special needs and other vulnerable populations. CDBG activities include senior services; health care services; housing services to support affordable housing opportunities for first -time homebuyers and to prevent homelessness; fair housing services, transportation; child care and youth services; employment training services; crime prevention and elimination services; and services to persons with disabilities. Funding will also be used to fund the Code Blue Program to provide warming centers for the homeless. The Annual Action Plan for the HOME Program, Year 2012 -2013, addresses the City's goal to achieve quality housing for all residents. The City will also work with HUD, BURA's own technical assistance providers, banks and other national not - for - profit organizations to expand the capacity of nonprofit housing providers; thereby strengthening the City's housing programs and better leveraging private sector participation. The Annual Action Plan for the HOPWA Program, Year 2012 -2013 continues services for the HIV and AIDS community. Housing for persons living with HIV/AIDS is provided through tenant -based rental assistance, short termlemergency housing payments (i.e., utility shutoff prevention), support for housing units in congregate care facilities, and support services such as food pantries. The Annual Action elan for the ESG Program, Year 2012 -2013 continues emergency services for homeless families at area shelters. The proposed funding will find a continuum of care that will provide active outreach to seek homeless individuals and families in soup kitchens, shelters, in parks, abandoned homes and other places where homeless individuals and families are found. Legal representation will be provided to clients who face eviction in housing court or who face foreclosure because of delinquent property tax payments. ESG funds are also provided for rent payments, security deposits and utility payments. All of the preceding is undertaken with the objective of breaking the cycle of homelessness. The City will conduct a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for the stage 2 ESG funds received for Program Year 2011 -2012. 2012 -13 PROPOSED BUDGET — LINE ITEM SUMMARY PUBLIC FACILITIES & IMPROVEMENTS 700,000.00 Park Pla round Im rovements Park/playground improvements in low /mod neighborhoods. improvements will include shelters, roof replacements play structures, bleachers, and wellness & fitness, infrastructure, and security lighting. 73,635.00 Program Dekve - Publtc Facilities & Imorovements Funding allocation for those costs (salary) directly associated with the improvement of various public facilitles,.which are included with the City's Annual Action and 5 Year Consolidated Plans. 1,552,427.00 609,500.00 TOTAL EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT (ESG) 2,935,762,00 1,164,753.00 Regulatory funding designated to benefit the homeless community by affording them housing and quality of life opportunities where discrimination and/or lack of resources exist.

I would like to provide this letter to lend my support for the proposal. I have owned a home on Lancaster Avenue in the Elmwood Village neighborhood since 1990. Previous to that, I was living in a home that I purchased on Lexington Avenue in the Elmwood Village area in 1984. One of the reasons I was attracted to the area and one of the reasons that I remain in the area is the mixture of businesses and residences within the area which affords me the ability to have a cup of coffee, grocery shop, gift shop and go to a restaurant, all within my own neighborhood and without the necessity of needing a vehicle. I was at a loss to understand the concern of other neighbors in the area with regard to noise that night be generated by the proposed expansion into the second floor of the Acropolis. To my understanding, the expansion will be within the parameters of the building itself and the building will close off at 11:00 p.m., which would seem to add only minimally, if at all, to the noise level in the neighborhood through 11 :00 p.m. Currently, there is a business that markets itself as a "martini bar" (Cecelia's Restaurant) located only one door away from the Acropolis, which business has an open patio outside the walls of the restaurant itself. Additionally, almost directly across the street, a business that markets itself as a "gastro -pulp" but certainly focuses on serving beer (The Blue Monk) also has an open patio outside the building. By contrast, the Acropolis restaurant has service of food as its main focus, with only an incidental bar service. I have frequented the Acropolis Restaurant t'_ 3 Z 7 }} James p. Surgio William J. Kira I Sreven P. Curvin Hilary C. Banker r Buffalo Common Council January 23, 2012 Page Two on numerous occasions and I have found the restaurant to be patronized by mainly couples and families. I believe that this is the type of business that the Elmwood Village neighborhood should support. At the meeting of January 19, 2012, there was some reference made by the Elmwood Village Association to a concession concerning the expansion of the restaurant to the second floor, provided that a service bar would not be located on the second floor. Given this proposal, I suspect that few, if any, of the members of the Elmwood Village Association have spent any time in the food service industry. The proposal of eliminating the service bar on the second floor from the proposed plans seems unworkable from both a business standpoint and the standpoint of a patron of a restaurant. Ordering drinks at a table for two would require the waitstaff personnel to travel up and down 15 -20 steps for each order, jockeying for position among patrons. Multiply this amount by 2 or 3 rounds per table and multiply the number of tables and one can see that the waiter or waitress assigned to the upstairs portion of the restaurant would be in for a very long and fatiguing evening (not to mention the wait tinges for refreshment beverages experienced by the patrons of the restaurant). A number of my neighbors who were in attendance at the meeting of January 19, 2012 voiced their concern, not about the restaurant as it is currently run, but about what they were afraid the restaurant would become. During the two years that Paul Tsouflidis has owned the Acropolis Restaurant, he has done nothing but make improvements to the restaurant while taking into consideration and responding to constructive and reasonable criticism from his neighbors. I suggest that we take him at his word that he is interested in expanding the restaurant so that he can seat larger parties and accommodate banquets, rather than pre - occupy ourselves with. "what the restaurant might become ". A concern was voiced by neighbors regarding patrons leaving the restaurant who were either boisterous or destructive of property. I am not clear on how the neighbors in the area can trace the boisterous /destructive conduct to patrons of the Acropolis Restaurant as opposed to other establishments in the area that serve alcoholic beverages (or, for that matter, non - alcoholic beverages), Additionally, a business owner can only be expected to address problems of misbehavior by patrons within the confines of his or her own business, with the patrons themselves accepting some responsibility for their own boisterous /destructive behavior (please accept this portion of the letter as an incidental plug for an increased police presence on Elmwood Avenue). Regardless, given the logic of those neighbors who would hold a restaurant owner accountable for the conduct of his or her patrons once they are well outside the establishment, any undesirable conduct by any patron of any business on Elmwood Avenue should be traced back to the business which would then be penalized. I submit that such a view is neither fair nor in keeping with the laws of the State of New York. By such a view, the 'm Buffalo Common Council January 23, 2012 Page Three Wilson Fauns convenience stores on Elmwood Avenue should be penalized since they sell 40 ounce bottles of beer to certain patrons who walk up and down Elmwood Avenue harassing pedestrians while panhandling for money. Finally, in closing, I am requesting that you grant the proposed music permit and expansion since I believe that a healthy family restaurant such as the Acropolis will benefit both residents and businesses in the neighborhood. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this view. Very ST ? �j ey SPC: rrnw CC.

Elmwood Avenue is one of the saving graces of this city and it seems as though every small business that tries to better themselves and grow (or stay competitive) has to jump through multiple hoops and climb over many hurdles in order to accomplish their goals. Also, Elmwood Avenue has a long- established reputation as a multi- faceted area of businesses and residences. Pahl Tsouflidis has done a lot to help improve the strip and to bring his business up to current trends and standards. People who live nearby are well aware of the fact that restaurants and bars often incorporate music of one type or another into their establishments. I feel those individuals who reside near restaurants or bars are being very self-centered and cruel to flue individuals like Paul Tsouflidis who are spending large amounts of money and time to help keep Elmwood Avenue alive and also to help improve Buffalo's image. He is a fine gentlemen who will keep his music turned down to an acceptable level of loudness. Please give him a chance and vote in favor of letting him proceed with his plans to move ahead with his wonderful restaurant. Your favorable cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

I have lived on Ashland Ave for 28 years. My family has loved living in the Elmwood. Tillage and our residential neighborhood provides a strong tax base and has always supported the diverse businesses on .Elmwood. We are each others' strength. Specifically, I have been an Acropolis patron for years. When Paul began the remodeling and restaurant updates he invited my opinion in casual conversation about the changes. It seemed great to see the next generation be excited about taking his turn with this popular restaurant. However, I was very upset and really saddened to find out that work has gone forward without proper permits, licenses, inspections and in spite of stop work orders. Does Paul want the acropolis to become a nightclub as well as a restaurant? I am horrified to learn about advertised DJ music being planned to begin at 11pm. at night. I see no n "d for a second bar on the second floor and I am worried about big crowds, wide open doors, potential expansion in the back of the property that would result in noise levels robbing my husband and me of quiet evenings and sleep at night. (We were extremely grateful when Merlin's and it's middle of the night motorcycle traffic was gone.) The back of our house is kitty corner from the Acropolis directly in back of the building just two doors south of Paul's establishment on Elmwood. Our bedroom is on the second floor across the back of our home and the bed is in the corner closest to the back of the Acropolis. We are not air conditioned, and like to have the windows open often during three seasons of the year. I speak for many of my neighbors who could not be here today when I say: I am opposed to: any new permits, licenses or permissions to expand the Acropolis (no full bar on the second floor, no extension of the liquor license to the second floor; and no permit for amplified music on either floor). I am opposed to: any expansion in the back of the building (no balcony, patio or smoking area; only an emergency fire escape that meets code). ** Please refer to the serial street map, attached, that pictures the proximity of the Acropolis to my home.

The Opening Right gives the Holding City a right to enter into a Letter of Intent with Plantagon International regarding development of a Plantagon Vertical Greenhouse or PlantaSymbioSystemle according to which both parties shall have a period of notice of one (1) month. Even if a Vertical Greenhouse is not built in the Holding City the Holding City will continue to participate in the 100 cities initiative. 100 cities initiative By participating in the 100 cities initiative your city is demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility, Together we strive to develop sustainable farming together with local farmers as well as creating business opportunities for local companies. Your participation will enable you to benefit from the sustainable social development objectives and give you the advantage of being part of a global learning forum together with 99 other selected cities within the field of vertical farming. Being Part of the initiative will position your city as a forerunner within sustainabilitt: Economy. Environment. Society We all know that population growth leads to increased emissions and increased waste. Growing popula- tions and growing cities also increases transportation problems within the city. Meanwhile, the shortage of arable land and water will create problems for future food security while more and more people living in cities demand otganidecological and locally cultivated food in a clean environment. The Plantagon Vertical Greenhouse presents a solution to these problems. Compared to the best greenhouses on the market today, the objective is to produce up to ten times more crops per square meter, use water resources in a more efficient and economic way and consume up to ten times more carbon dioxide. It gives a year -round crop production protected from heather- rela €ed crop failures due to droughts, floods or pests and cuts transportation and wholesale costs in the value chain. No herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers are used as all crops are organically grown. Vertical farming inside cities also dramatically reduces fossil fuel use in production and transporta- tion as well as carbon dioxide emissions during transport. The greenhouse itself will create jobs as well as a "city lung" offering a great opportunity for developing the area into a tourist attraction. i° ,� " RICHARD A.

Fontana Council President IZAFAjo Brian McCaffrey, member Kaisertown Coalition 286 Weiss Street Buffalo, NY 142o6 Hi Rich, About zo years ago the stone steps in front of my house in New Jersey started falling apart. They were suffering from frost heaving. }Mater would enter the steps from mortar joints that no longer were waterproof. The water would freeze and expand, Subsequently the steps were becoming out of plumb, askew and unfit for human use. I then repaired the mortar joints and sealed them with silicone putty. The steps then remained in good shape. When I moved to Buffalo I saw the granite steps and balusters at the rear of the Albright -Knox museum. They were falling apart, and I knew that frost heaving was the cause. Last year I saw them renovate the steps and balusters, obviously at an enormous cost. If a little inexpensive maintenance was performed on the stairs every spring, a lot of money would be saved. What a waste of resources! Across the road at the rear of the Albright -Knox museum, in Delaware Park, there is a stone stairway and balusters that go from the street level down to Delaware Lake. They look life they are at the verge of being so damaged from frost heaving that they must be renovated. They are almost at the point where inexpensive repairs are no longer sufficient. I see that about 15 years ago the mortar joints were puttied and made waterproof Maybe about 5 years ago the putty began to deteriorate. Now the mortar joints are full of holes due to the rotting away of the putty. The stairs are currently suffering from bad frost heaving. Right now it might require about 8o man hours to renovate the mortar joints and make them waterproof. If no attention is given to the stairs, it will soon be necessary to renovate them at enormous cost. A difference between si000 and $500,000 is at stake.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Richard A. Fontana Council President RAF:tjo 9 Brian McCaffrey, member of the Kaisertown Coalition 286 Weiss Street Buffalo NY 14206 H€ Rich, I have some ideas as to how improve Buffalo. The other clay I read a story in the NY Times about the General Electric manufacturing center in Louisville, KY. This factory has relocated the inanufacturing.ofa hybrid water heater froth China to Louisville. The reason for this is that manufacturing costs in the US have started to be competitive to those in China and that Americans know how to design exceedingly efficient manufacturing facilities. However, new hires in the Louisville.GE plant are paid $11 -$12 /hour, way below the $27- 35 /hour wage of the older workers. The article infers that perhaps. America, even though manufacturing will revive here and create many new jobs, will become a much poorer country. I think that if the cost of living in the US is lowered, a $11 -$12 /hour rate of pay can become a middle class wage. During my life I was interested in finding a life that is not excessively economically burdensome. Subsequently I moved to Buffalo. I had saved and I was able to buy a house outright. Thus I avoided the cost of a mortgage and the cost of an expensive home. Many of the costs of living in Buffalo are very low. So, for me $11 /hour is a fairly good rate of pay. I think that industry could be coaxed to locate to Buffalo and to manufacture products at a cost that is competitive to those in foreign nations. This could be the beginning of an American economic renaissance. Sincerely, Brian McCaffrey RICHARD A.

Based upon public statements, it appears that Verizon has no immediate plans to extend this network into the City of Buffalo, although such service has been made available in many surrounding towns and suburban communities. At various times, different explanations have been provided for this, including references to certain laws, regulations and/or policies which would supposedly require Verizon to ensure that the entire City of Buffalo is equipped for FiOS service within five (5) years, if this network were to be provided in any portion of the City. Would it be possible for you, or someone else from your organization, to clarify this issue by providing a citation or legal reference for this supposed requirement, if it is in fact a requirement imposed by law? The City of Buffalo has enjoyed a productive partnership with Verizon for many years, and the Common Council is committed to continuing to work with Verizon to ensure that City of Buffalo residents, businesses and visitors have access to the same high - quality of service being provided to Verizon customers in other communities.

Area E January 2012 Site lumber C9132 Buffalo, QTY NYSDEC Certifles Cleanup Requirements Achieved a t B rownfield The New York State Department of Environmental.Conservation (NYSDEC) has determined that the cleanup requirements to address contamination related to Buffalo Color Corporation Area E Site ( "site ") located at 85 Lee Street in Buffalo in Erie County under New York State's Brownfield Cleanup Program have been met. See map for site location. NYSDEC has issued a Certificate of Completion regarding the site. A copy of the Notice of the Certificate of Completion is available at the location(s) identified below under "Where to Find Information ". The applicant is now eligible to redevelop the site. Completion of Project The site remediation was accomplished by completing the following Remedial Measures, which included; • Demolishing existing structures. Building foundations were saved for post - remediation reuse and redevelopment; • Excavating impacted soil containing site specific contaminants affecting groundwater quality to a depth of approximately 12 feet; �hfile(Cartut Progiam New Ye'a Properly disposing the impacted soil; Backfilling the excavation with crushed concrete en 4 k the ve�lane �leatit�p elf at�tarhirateelrcpetsknee demolition material, clean fill, and adding an seffsatthrse rud anst oxygen releasing bio- stimulant to the backfill to W J e r � { cap treat residual volatile organic compounds VO fJul ttustrr l� aaea g p ( Cs) WO Ot and semi - volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) «� r�xrfi�ld Is ar+y rear Aroperty that �a consisting of dye manufacturing intermediate leht�lrsrtce 0t1 chemicals and other dye production chemicals in ntnafrie adjoining soil and groundwater; m Rehabilitating existing storm sewers and der a °at the �� vi't y manholes with a liner system to prevent infiltration of impacted groundwater into storm t Lr, Receive bite ��ct Sl�e�ts by :�rrrail. ;fee "Far Mare [nform�tian" to 1Waarr� Wow. sewers that discharge to the Buffalo River; and Placing an integrated cover system over the site to isolate contact with residuals. The remedial measures successfully addressed contamination and will serve as the final remedy for the site. Institutional Controls/Engineering Controls Institutional controls and engineering controls generally are designed to reduce or eliminate exposure to contaminants of concern. An institutional control is a nonphysical restriction on use of the site, such as a deed restriction, when contamination left over after the cleanup action makes the site suitable for some, but not all uses. An engineering control is a physical barrier or method to manage contamination such as a cap or vapor barrier. The following institutional and /or engineering controls have been put in place on the site: Covering the site with an integrated cover system consisting of one foot of vegetated soil or gravel, and utilizing existing buildings and pavement for the balance of cover over the site; and Developing a site management plan with institutional and engineering controls that will be implemented during redevelopment and reuse of the site. An institutional control is a legal or administrative restriction placed on the use of the site when residual contamination left after the cleanup action makes the site suitable for some but not all uses. An engineering control is a physical barrier or method to manage contamination, such as the integrated cover system. Next Steps NYSDEC issued the Certificate of Completion based on review and approval of Final Engineering Report submitted by the applicant. The Final Engineering Report includes: 1) a description of the cleanup activities completed; 2) certification that cleanup requirements will be achieved for the site; 3) a description of any institutional /engineering controls to be used; and 4) a certification that a site management plan for any engineering controls used at the site has been approved by NYSDEC. With its receipt of a Certificate of Completion, the applicant is eligible to redevelop the site. In addition, the applicant: ® has no liability to the State for contamination at or coming from the site, subject to certain conditions; and ® is eligible for tax credits to offset the costs of performing cleanup activities and for redevelopment of the site. A Certificate of Completion may be modified or revoked if, for example, the applicant does not comply with the terms of its Brownfield Cleanup Agreement with NYSDEC, or if the applicant commits fraud regarding its application or its certification that it has met cleanup levels. Background NYSDEC previously accepted an application from the applicant to ,participate in the Brownfield Cleanup Program. The application proposes that the site will be used for commercial /industrial, purposes. The BCP site is situated in the South Buffalo section of the City of Buffalo. It is located on the east side of Lee Street, south of Elk Street and north of South Park Avenue. This site is approximately 15.8 acres in size and was subdivided from the former 54 acre Buffalo Color Corporation (BCC) chemical and dye plant. The site has been used for the production of dyestuff, organic chemicals and intermediate chemicals since the 1940's and continued until 2003, when BCC operations ceased. The site is currently inactive and is zoned for industrial use. Neighboring areas include residential and some commercial, and vacant industrial lands. The nearest residential areas are located approximately 200 feet north of the Site. A Remedial Work Plan proposing -a Track 4 commercial cleanup standard was approved in 2009. Design investigation activities and. development of a detailed remediation plan continued into 2010. Site preparation and demolition /removal of decommissioned plant facilities and process equipment was completed in. 2010. The final remedial plan for soil and groundwater in Area E involved removal of source material impacting groundwater quality and placement of oxidizing. materials to treat residual VOC groundwater contamination. Approximately 13,600 cubic yards of VOC contaminated soil were excavated from three areas that were impacting groundwater quality. The fill horizon below the groundwater level was seeded with.an oxygen releasing biostimulant in the excavation backfill. materials at one foot fill intervals to treat residual VOCs in groundwater. Site remediation also included abandonment/plugging of unused process and storm sewers and rehabilitation of the existing stormm sewer system that discharges directly to the Buffalo River. Placement of a site -wide integrated cover system and additional remediation construction activities were completed in 2011. The planned future reuse for this site is commercial and light industrial.

McCarthy Published:January 23, 2012, x1:23 PM 1 Comment Recommend Updated: January 24, 20x2, 7:59 AM Metro Bus and Rail riders are overwhelmingly telling transit officials they prefer a fare hike this spring to drastic cutbacks in service. Now the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority is revisiting the possibility of charging an extra quarter to ride the bus and subway. If scheduled public hearings on the proposed service reductions reflect the initial public sentiment, only a handful of unproductive bus routes could be cut, NFTA officials said Monday. That represents a major about --face from an original plan to chop 42 routes and 26 percent of the system, which prompted widespread fears that those dependent on mass transit would be cut off from access to work. "It's based on the comments," Executive Director Kimberley A. Minkel said of the revised plan. "We had Close to 40o emails, and overwhelmingly the comment was: 'Please don't cut my service; I would gladly pay a fare increase. "' Minkel told NFTA commissioners Monday that combined with the restoration of about $1.9 million in state transit operating assistance following four years of cuts, the system now faces only about a 5 percent reduction in service should the fare be hiked. The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority says feedback from Metro Bus riders indicates they prefer a fare hike to route cuts. Mark Mulville / Buffalo News file photo NFTA staff in November proposed a 25 -cent fare increase and some system cutbacks, reasoning that a major system retrenchment and permanent route eliminations world also result in permanent loss of ridership. After initially accepting that recommendation, the board of commissioners in December instead opted for the drastic system overhaul that would concentrate routes primarily in the city and . first -ring suburbs. While some sources indicate pressure by "elected officials" figured in that decision, acting Chairman Henry M. Sloma said Monday that the drastic overhaul choice reflected projections of continuing deficits in ensuing years. He also pointed to declining mortgage recording tax revenues and reserve funds to sustain the NFTA, as well as the disappearance of $4 million in annual waterfront rental income. He now says the authority must still revamp its basic philosophy by eliminating unsustainable routes and services, but also will benefit by the restoration of some state funding. "This is the wake -up call that says we can't do business the way we have in the past," Sloma said. "We see this year as a transition year." Minkel added that plans to establish public- private partnerships with businesses dependent on public transportation must still be pursued, as well as closing one of the system's three bus garages, relying more on technology, and converting much of the bus fleet to compressed natural gas systems. Still, the NFTA. will conduct a series of five public hearings beginning Jan. 30 to gauge public sentiment about the drastic cutback plan. Sloma noted that since that plan has been adopted and the hearings advertised, the authority wants to hear reaction to the service cutback plan. If the sentiment favoring a fare hike is reflected in the hearings, he said, he will convene a special meeting in mid- February to address a potential fare hire. Though commissioners voted, 7 -3, in December to adopt the more drastic approach, Sloma said he thinks the flood of public opinion will reverse earlier thinking. " If that's what they hear in the hearings,. I know they will do the right thing," he said.. Not all are convinced. Commissioner Michael P. Hughes said late Monday he is still inclined to vote against hiking the fare, at least until he is convinced the author=ity is committed to major revisions in its operations. "I still think the authority has to dig down deep to re- engineer itself," he said. "Getting the restored subsidy from New York State is not going to solve the problem." Hughes said he is heartened by Minkel's commitment to follow through on changing the way the NFTA does business but needs to see a long -term plan, too. "I have a stronger belief that the authority needs to reinvent itself rather than raise fares," he said. rmccarthu(@buffL7ews.com 5.

N 0000 RESOLUTION By: Mr. Golombek lq z - t - -7 CX'A ? ,5 � ECC Health Science Center Whereas: The State University of New York has forwarded a proposed $15 million budget earmark for a Health Sciences Center for Excellence at FCC's North Campus to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo; and Whereas: A North Campus location for ECUs proposed Health Sciences Center for Excellence is inconsistent with the smart growth and workforce development objectives of Governor Cuomo's WNY Regional Economic Development Strategy flan; and Whereas: An Amherst location for FCC's Health Sciences Center for Excellence would work at cross - purposes with substantial investments the State University of New York is making at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus; and Whereas: The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is now the largest job creator in the region, which the Brookings Institute recently revealed had the nation's 4th highest income growth over the past two years; and Whereas: The American Association of Community Colleges reports more than 50% of health sciences workers in the United States are trained at community colleges, yet Erie Community College is not yet playing any direct role in the development of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus; and Whereas: The UB Medical School and the Health Sciences Charter School have either moved or committed to move to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, an example of strategic planning and regional collaboration toward common objectives; and Whereas: There are dozens of sites in downtown Buffalo and at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, including several sites already owned by the County or the City, where such a health sciences facility will be a better fit than at the college's isolated North Campus in Amherst; and Whereas: Shifting FCC's proposed Health Sciences Center for Excellence to the City Campus, steps away from the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, would allow such a facility to leverage existing investments, better advance the college's mission, and boost the region's health sciences industry; Now, Therefore be it Resolved: That the Common Council seeks support from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the Western New York state delegation to amend the State University of New York's proposed $15 million budget earmark to shift ECC's proposal for a Health Sciences Center for Excellence to its City Campus, where it can tap into emerging opportunities of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus; and 5f, &I Be it Further Resolved: That the Common Council requests this resolution be forwarded to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Now York State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, all members of the NY State Legislature delegation Erie County Executive Mark Polonearz, every member of the Erie County Legislature, the Western New York Economic Development Council, the Empire State Development Corporation, the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, ECC President Jack Quinn, and the members of the ECC Board of Trustees. Joseph Golombek, Jr. North District Council Member rP9 RESOLUTION By: Mr. Kearns 0 0 0 S d` Defibrillators in All Public Buildings Whereas: Coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States; and Whereas; Every two minutes, an individual suffers from cardiac arrest in the United States, and 250,000 Americans die each year from cardiac arrest out of hospital; and Whereas: The chance of survival for a victim of cardiac arrest diminishes by ten percent each minute following sudden cardiac arrest; and Whereas: Sixty percent of all cardiac arrests occur outside the hospital, and the average national survivor rate for an out-of-hospital victim of cardiac arrest is only five percent; and Whereas: Eighty percent of cardiac arrests are caused by ventricular fibrillation, for which defibrillation is the only effective treatment; and Whereas: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) make it possible for non - medical rescuers to deliver potentially life- saving defibrillation to victims of cardiac arrest; and Whereas: Schools, community centers, libraries and any building or facility accessed by the public can benefit greatly by having an automated external defibrillator (AED), since it often takes critical time for emergency medical personnel to respond to victims of cardiac arrest in public buildings; and Whereas: Having and AED in buildings accessed by the public increases the prospect that this lifesaving device will be available when a cardiac emergency occurs; and Whereas: The American Heart Association recommends that automated external defibrillators (AEDs) be available in all places where large numbers of people congregate; Now, Therefore be it Resolved: That the Common Council of the City of Buffalo supports the installation of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all public buildings in the City of Buffalo; and Be it Further Resolved: That the Corporation Counsel draft an ordinance mandating the installation of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all public buildings in the City of Buffalo. Be it Further Resolved: That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Corporation Counsel, Buffalo Fire Department, Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets and Administration and Finance for their comments and suggestions on implementing a program to install automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in all city -owned public buildings in the City of Buffalo. 11 '; t / I REFERRED TO THE COMMITTE ON FINANCE AND PUBLIC WORKS Michael P.
