The property is.bounded on the south by Goodell Street. on the east by Ellicott Street between numbers 610 and 671 and on the west by Washington Street north to Burton Place and north of Burton Plata by Rochev9t Alley (which runs parallel to EIlkwit Street) north un1< properly short of Virginia sir t, TitV north boundary follows Burton Place from' the corner of Washington Street east one half block to Ruchevot Ailey. The "panhandle'' thus formed with Rochevot Alley as its western boundary ends on the north with the retirof 670 Ellicott Street near the angle formed with Virginia Street. The buildings in this complex are identified by a numbering system that:teflects the chronology of their construction. They are: Building f (624 Ellicott Street, built cap 1890 and purchased for use by the company in 1920; floors 5 and 6 added in 1924; a 6 floor crossover to Building 2 was added in 1931); Building 2.(632 -636 Ellicott. Street. 1924; floors S and 6 added in 1931; Building 3 (638.644 ElliQon Strut, 1926; floor 3 added 1924; Uttar 6 added its 1931); Building 7 (807 - 81.7 Washington 5ttvA.1930), Building 8 (787 -865 Washington Street, 1937); Building 9 (648.668 Ellicott Street. 1954, with additions and aiteraUons.in 1957 and 1989- -this is a non - contributing structure); and Building 10 (6717.672 Ellicott Street, erected prior to 1923 and purchased for company use in 1946). Building 4,5 and 6 were demolished to make way for existing construction on the site. Building 1, the oldest structure in the Trico complex, is the former storehouse of the Christian Weyand Brewery. It was purchased for company use in 1920 when Trico moved to this site from another location in Buffalo, The original 50` wide, four -wry eastern elevation of the brewery building is visible on Ellicott Street. it consists of high, two- story, rusticated ashlar brownstone basement above. which rests a tall third story equal in height to the stone basement and trade of brick. The brick wall is articulated by two recessed panels, two brownstone stringeourses, and a crowning.brick corbel table. Above this is a shorter fourth floor of brick: with a I3P €CIS cornice defining the original he of the building. Nearly all of the small, symmetrically arranged rectangular windows on the Ellicott Street elevation have been bricked up long ago. (Those in the basement tevel.are Tilled with glass black; All windows on the exposed northern flank have also been closed up) In the 1920`:;.two; (hre-�-bay stories of mclal construction with bris=k facing and. metal sash windows were added to the top of the brewery building. At this time, a white concrete pier was embedded in the northeast corner of the brewery buildigg to help support the new upper floors. The south and west sides of this building are no longer visible from the outside, for they have been incorporated in reinforced concrete construction of later factory buildings. The interior of the enlarsed factory preserves the original load bearing walls of the brewery building together with a row of steel posts running down the center of the open rectangular space. Building 2 is primarily a four-bay, 100' by 133'reinforced concrete, curtain wull.structureConsisting of whileconcrete.pters rising from the ground level to the flat roof. Red brick spandrels and.mewl sash windows fill in the grid 1luil 2 was erected in 1924 to the north of Building 1. A low, two- story pedimented brick structure (considered part of Building 2) with a loading dock abuts Building I on Ellicott Street. Above this low structure is an open space rising to the sixth floor. where, in 1931, a crossover floor was constructed -to bridge Build'tna I and Building 2. Behind the two - story building is a four - story wind of Building 2. The main section of the cast elevation net Ellicott Street Cons of upright concrete piers rising six stories above a basement level. (Windows in this level are below the brick spandrels and are now filed with glass blocks,) lied brick spandrels and metal sash windows fill in the exterior grid. In 1931, two stories were also added to most of . Building 2 its the same style and method of construction as the original four - story portion. At a later date, the twin, narrow sash windows in the north and south bays were bricked up. On the interior, each floor consists of open floor space. Concrete piers spaced 20' apart with flaring capitals support concrete floor slabs. Modern fluorescent lighting supplements the daylight that enters each floor from the large windows. Building 3 is an L- shaped: structure of reinforced concrete and curtain wall structure with reel brick spandrels and metal sash windows and a flat roof, Building 3 was erected in 1928 adjacent to the north of Building 2 and extended from Ellicott Street west through the block back to Washington Sfteet. An 82' wide elevation of four bays faces Ellicott Street, a 265' -wide elevation of 14 bays faces Barton Place, and a GO' -wide elevation of three bays faces Washington Street. In 1928, a fifth floor was added to Building 3, followed in 1931 by a sixth floor over the eastern portion (back to Rochevot Alley). The exterior elevations consist of upright concrete piers rising through the full height of the building above a basement level. (Tht original windows Mow the brick spandrels of the basement level have been replaced with glass blocks.) Red brick spandrels and metal sash -windows fill in the exterior grid. The end bays of the Washington Street elevation preserve the characteristic Trico pediments that were the trademark of the company. Since this building housed administrative offices, it was given a monumental entrance. A classical- styled, stone entrance to this building is (Page 5 of 20) Trice Plant tri � New York. f rfe C n ft Name of Property County and State S.

The four -bay. brick-spandrel-and-concrete-pier exterior of Building 2, which featured short pediments above the Trico name at either end of the.Ellicott Street facade, extended to the dgth of the Brewery building, A low. Iwo -story siruv lure with skylights and with a short pediment facing Ellicott Street was built at this time between the brewery and Building 2. (This low structure was a machine room_) And apparently at this time were added the two metal frame and brick curtain wall level that raided tit brewery l uildin to six stories, Plutncr and Mann's.wQrk sct the patlprn that would ltc tsfllowcd by later additions to tha plant, including the short pediment with the Trico name that appeared at the corners of the building. These were obliterated in 1131 when fifth and.sixih floors were added to Building 2. This new sixth floor was than linked to the sixth floor of Building I by bridging the space above the 1924 two -story structure with reinforced concrete crossover story, In 1928, the growing company erected Building 3 Adjacent to Building 2 on Ellicott Street. Similar in appearance to Building 2, this four - story, minforscd Cncrcto structure was designed by Burton and Ellicott of Buffalo and constructod by Warwick and few0l, Construction Engineers. It reached from _Building 2 north to Burton Place, The north.far ofBuilding.3 filled the length of Burton Street to Washington Street. The following year, Building 3 received and additional floor with twin Trico pediments marking the Ellicott and Burton Place corner. Building 3 housed gene-rat offices on the eastern portion of the first through fifth floors, For this reason two decorative entrances were located at the building's northwest angle. There, two doorways framed by.classical elements beneath large round arches. opened onto Washington Street and Burton Place, (This street no longer exists east of Washington Street,) In 193 1, a sixth floor was added to ,Building 3, At the time of their construction, Trico Building 2 and 3 represented state -of -the -art industrial arcili €ecture. They are good examples of the so- called Daylight Factory. This type . of multi- storied factory building used reinforced concrete in an exposed frame system of construction with the spaces between exterior.piers filled with steel sash windows above a low brick spandrel. Unadorned except for entrances at the corner of Burton Street that are decorated with Tonic columns: Doric Pilasters, and other Classical details, Trlco Plant #1 epitomizes-this Modern building Type, which is especially identified with irnest Ransome, C. A, P. Turner, and the Buffalo firm of Lockwood Creene and Company. These firms developed this revolutionary factory type during the first decade of the ttiuentleth century. By the it had replaced th brick pier wails and.wooden beam supported floors of nineteenth century factories as well as gained ascendancy over steel - framed manufacturing buildings. The Daylight Factory answered the need of manufacturing for wide open, naturally fit floor space in fireproof buildings that were inexpensive and quick to erect, During the third quarter of the nineteenths century, Ernest Ransome. working first in California and later in N York City, developed a system of embedding steel rods in concrete to create a strong, fireproof structural system that supported concrete slab floors. This system proved especially suited to multi °storied industrial architecture, for it allowed for they creation of layer upon layer of virtually unobstructed floor space. On exterior walls, large windows filled the spaces between the exposed concrete frame, admitting abundant light. and fresh air to each floor. Elevators and hoists linked the various work levels. Reinforced concrete construction was also inexpensive, easily standardized, and fireproof. "Around 1900, then, "wrote. architectural historian Peter Reyner Banham in his hook ConcrereAr1unfry, "the action and the excitement were not in iron and steel but in concrete, which wilt; about to take off into the most spectacular stage of its development in the United States. The new men, headed by Ransome, were above all specialists in concrete, and their subject matter --the Daylight factory and the grain elevator--was to be (along with bridge building:) concrete's primary province. The evidence for this is overwhelming, on the ground and in the professional literature" ( Banham 106). As Banharn further argued in ConcreteArlantis, functional buildings like these came to influence significantly the course of high style modern architecture, On the exterior of his buildings Ransome, and other pioneers of this method of construction such as Buffalo's Lockwood, Greene and Company, left. the skeletal structure of vertical supports and horizontaf floor stabs exposed to view, These simple, repetitive exteriors were thus composed of a concrete frame filled in with banks of simple, steel sash windows, Only a modest spandrel was sometined present beneath the windows to provide space for radiators. By 1924, this revolutionary system, which Banharn called "Daylight Factory." was fully developed. There were several major examples in Buffalo prior to Trico Plant #1, notably the huge Larkin WSIT block of 1911, the Buffalo Meter Company building of 1915, and the Fierce -Arrow Plant (National Register listed) or 1907, The unadorned beauty of structure and proportions that thr;str elementary exteriors portrayed deeply impressed Architects such as Walter Gropius. Le Corbusier and Mies Van Der Rohe. Indeed, the first portions of Trico Plant #1 are contemporary with Ciropius' Bauharis in Dessau, Germany, the icon of the International Style. The Buffalo factory was of the some type that, says Bonham, "Le Corbuiser had used to exemplify his arguments [for a new architecture]. multi- storied American industrial (Page9 of 20) United.51ates Department otthe Interior 0108.

Buffalo City Hall City Clerk's Office 14201 Attn: Gerry Chwalinski RE: Vacant So. Buffalo Council Seat Dear Sir, We are writing to nominate Linda Bain of Pomona Place to fill the above seat in the Council. Linda founded. the Pomona Place Block Club over ten years ago, and has contributed to the improvement of the South. Buffalo community in many ways. Her dedication to helping others is unparalleled. She produced the annual Seneca Street Car Show with the first year putting up her own funds for the insurance and permits. With excess funds, she formed the annual "Christmas in Senecaville ", an art contest for all local schools to ,participate. Her concern for others is endless, One in particular was during the October storm. Many South Buffalo streets were barricaded by fallen trees Linda walked, and checked on many of the residents. One resident in particular was Joe Chlewicki, of 59 Pomona Place, who was crying out for help. His 5 year old daughter needed immediate medical attention. Her swollen glands and fever was cutting off this child's ability to breath. Linda Bain walked over fallen electric wires, climbed over trees to seek medical attention in order to get a Mercy Hospital emergency vehicle to transport this young girl to Mercy Hospital's Emergency Room. Iii the spring following the October storm, she joined the Re -Tree program of WNY, obtained 139 trees and organized the planting of there. on Pomona Place, Armin and other neighboring streets. She continues to tight for the improvement of Seneca Street. Her last endeavor was to save an lee Cream Parlor that was closing on Melrose and Seneca. The community cried out and once again, Linda came to the rescue. She recently leased and re- opened the lee Cream Parlor and named. it "7 West"; after her unit at Mercy Hospital as a Cardiac Registered Nurse. Linda is a member of St. Teresa's Parish, a Buffalo Zoo member, Friends of the Central Terminal Restoration Group, WNY Railroad and the South Buffalo Chamber of Commerce. She is an alumni of Trocaire College and Daemon college. s She has received several awards for her work. She received the Community Service Award from Greater South Buffalo Chamber of Commerce in 2005 and Distinguished Community Volunteer Award from Trocaire College in 2010. Linda is a graduate from Trocaire and Daemon College possessing an Associate degree in business and a Bachelor degree in nursing. She currently has over 30 credits toward a Master's Degree in nursing. Linda is a veteran and ,served eight years in the. Army Reserves. Her military, nursing experience and community involvement has given Linda: the gift of serving the public continuously. Due to all of the above, she is well known in the South Buffalo Community and is recognized by many for her unselfish work. Her goal is to assist others and continuously improve, enhance and develop the South Buffalo District. We feel Linda Bain would be a hard working Council member we could count on for our District. i Signed: P ... �' 6 .... , t 4 v(� 7 �j K E � {' i Y . ,� a, ? v k�,� CL, 0 0 City Clerk's Office Buffalo, New York 14202 Patrick Burke 52 Duerstein Street Buffalo, NY 14210 March 29, 2012 Honorable Council Members, I would like to be considered for the vacant South District council seat. As you.will see from my resume, I've invested a great deal of my life to community service; much of which has been serving the people of Buffalo's. South District. Being a young man with a family offers me perspective on what young people not only need but expect from their government. I want to live in a place where my family feels safe, where my children can have a duality education and where I feel I have a say in how I'm governed. Varying political interests have made the most hardened citizens cynical. I think I'm the appropriate choice because I'm not a part of those groups. I'll serve the city of Buffalo without personal agenda. If appointed, I would view myself as a custodian of the seat until a representative was elected by the people.

Fisher Dear Sir or Madam: Matthew J. Fisher is a remarkably talented individual, and as fine a person as you will ever meet. I worked with hire every week for three years, from the beginning of 2008 until the beginning of 2011. During that time, I was the Housing Court Judge for the City of Buffalo and Matt was the Community Liaison to my court for the South District, in addition to working for Councilmember Michael P. Kearns. By 2008, the duties of community liaisons to the court had expanded significantly. Liaisons were asked to learn a wide range of topics, from property foreclosure to the intricacies of loan programs, from receiverships to the cycle of poverty in Buffalo, the second poorest city in the country. They had to become expert researchers of both property transfer and liens, as well as signs of gang graffiti and drug activity in their neighborhoods. They had to be studious, reserved, and patient one minute, and then strong - willed, forthcoming and confrontational the next. For the first several years of the program, 30 activists stepped forward, willing to take on one or two aspects of the job. We typically had three or four community liaisons for each district, each one assigned to only a portion of the tasks. At block club meetings, my mantra to recruit liaisons without overwhelming them became, "No single liaison can do it all," In 2008,1 added, "except for Matt Fisher." When Matt started, he quickly and diligently learned every aspect of the job. After only a few months, we needed no second liaison for the district. Then Matt went even further, showing tremendous initiative by expanding his role to serve the residents of the district far beyond housing court, For example, he designed a web site for the district that incorporated the work we were doing in court, and more recently, crafted new legislation to protect homeowners by licensing property managers. He even: took old ideas that didn't work, improved them and made them his own. Housing court tried to implement Neighborhood Accountability Boards as a more effective form of oy restorative justice, but could never put a program together. Matt accomplished it in the South District, offering an outlet to frustrated neighbors and a direct way to remedy their concerns. Matt's determination was matched only by his compassion. His impressive courtroom work was matched only by his extraordinary efforts on the streets. hi any given clay, he would take on problem landlords, tenants or squatters, ready with photographs, written complaints and all other necessary documentary evidence he compiled ahead of time. Minutes later, he would visit an impoverished homeowner to help him identify funds for his porch repairs. Today, residents of the South District enjoy a higher quality of life because of Matt Fisher. He has single- handedly stopped drug trafficking, saved historic properties from the wrecking ball, facilitated transfers of property to more responsible owners, found funding and coordinated volunteer labor to move projects forward. I have never seen him lose his patience or his spirit, or even raise his voice. It was an honor and a privilege to work with Matt, and his desire, fortitude and good humor are some of the things I miss most from my tenure as the Buffalo Housing court judge. If you have an opportunity to hire or work with Matt, seize it. Very truly yours, HENR J OWAK New York State Supreme Court Justice HJN:hjn O R O X 64 �AKE VIEW, NY PH f FAX 716-446.5703 March 22, 2012 Dear Councilmetrmber(s) and Mayor Brown, I just wanted to let you know what a tremendous help Blatt Fisher has been to nie over the past year or so as your Housing and Community Liaison. I manage and own properties in South Buffalo and Matt has always been very informative and helpful with tenant and community issues. For example, he provided tie with police call data and neighbourhood complaint sheet for 2272 South Part: Ave, which enabled me to get an eviction in court, Matt Fisher has approached me on a few different C- AKING (Contractors assisting residents in treed of rants) projects, We helped an elderly lady at 29 Dismonda repair tier porch. We also Helped a blind elderly lady at 11.6 Fields replace a window and repair tier concrete steps. He asked us to help another elderly blind lady fix her siding at 40 Remington. My father passed away this past year leaving my mother alone on Hollywood. It is very comforting to know that Matt is actively trying to Delp the residents of this neighborhood. I have often attended the South Buffalo Neighborhood Accountability Board meetings hosted by Mr. Fisher•. He does a great job beeping the meetings flowing while showing compassion and empathy toward all the guest concerns — big or shall. I am not alone in thinking that these forums and community liaisons are a great source of city funding. Where are many examples of Matt's dedication. but one really sticks out for me. There was an elderly couple living off= Seneca Street that was being unfairly thrown out of the home they rented for many years by their management company, Matt drove Margaret I-lurysz to meet me at one of my available apartments on more than one occasion.. He may have even physically helped her move into my house at 20 Macamley before she was thrown out in the street. The city inspectors are very familiar with this particular situation and Margaret spoke at the (Licensing property managers) council meeting praising Matt's effort. I know from speaking with various building inspectors that Matt is very diligent and hands on and goes the extra toile for the good of the community. Regards, Bill Fe Y el�, Licerts. Broker Phone. 716 -416 -5701 x207 KeyPropertyCon sulting.cotn March 25' 2012 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this e -mail in support of the appointment of Matt Fisher to the City Council to take the place of Mickey Kearns. I am the "treasurer of the McKinley Pkwy Community Association and have been in close contact with Matt over the past year about housing problems in our community. My experience with Matt has been nothing but extremely positive. It is clear that he is passionate about South Buffalo and is constantly working hard to make it a better place. He clearly has the right temperament for a government position and the right experience, as well. Matt's work on the behalf of South Buffalo has been tireless and has brought many positive results. Matt is extremely responsible and well regarded by all who know him. I know that every member of our Association is deeply appreciative of his efforts. Matt could do so much for us at the City Council level, and that is why 1 hope that you will appoint Matt to the position. Very truly yours, Angela M. Remerle 239 McKinley Pkwy. Buffalo, New York 716 - 825 -0001 Dear Mayor Brown, members of the Common Council and to whom it may concern, I'm writing to express ray opinion on the vacant South District Common Council seat, and to recommend Matt Fisher for the position.. I'm involved in South Buffalo in many different ways. I serve on the board of South Buffalo Alive, I'm the coordinator for the South Buffalo CREW, I'm involved with the South Buffalo Block Club Coalition, and I'm a member.of the Greater South Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, through my company, DC Photography and Web Design. I'm also born, bred, own my own home, and I plan on staying here in South Buffalo. My activities in the neighborhood have given me the privilege to meet quite a few business owners and residents. I have known Matt Fisher for the past 3 years. Our relationship started through a group on Facebook called "Clean Up South Buffalo" Somebody was upset about all the litter in the neighborhood so they started the group. Soon it had over 400 inembers. Matt and I realized that 400 people could clean up a lot of litter. Matt posted his phone number, I called himm up, and that was the beginning of the South Buffalo CREW. I was immediately impressed that Matt never tried to take advantage of anything for political purposes. Matt was working for Councilmember Kearns, but that was just one tool he could use to try and help the neighborhood. There was nothing political or self - serving about his commitment to the group. That first summer it was just the 3 of us planning events. But Matt was never concerned about scoring points for himself or his boss the Councilman. Every project was just another way to try and make our hometown a better place to live. The South Buffalo CREW has grown, and it remains a grassroots volunteer organization. Our commitment to the .neighborhood transcends politics and enables us to have great relationships �x th Mark Schroeder, Tim Kennedy, Brian Higgins and Mickey Kearns, as well as area businesses, schools and churches. Matt is in a similar position, even though people may strongly oppose Kearns, they realize that Matt is smart, hard working, and outside the political fray. Matt and I have worked on a number of projects over the past 3 years, and he has always been a dependable team player. He will get behind any good idea without worrying about who takes the credit. You can count on him to follow through and do his part without seeking to be in the spotlight. He's always looking for opportunities to use his knowledge to help our neighborhoods in any way he can. Most importantly, nobody knows the South District better than Matt Fisher. He has spent years as the go--to --guy for hundreds of residents who have his personal cell phone number. He's currently collaborating with the Community Police Officers in A- District, conducting face to face meetings with landlords who own problem properties. He can somehow keep track of his ever expanding list of projects and continue to get results. People in South Buffalo know Matt, they know his track record, and I haven't found a single person who would recommend anyone else for the South District Council position.

As a Chief Stationary Engineer, for the Buffalo Board of Education, I held a variety of roles, for example, I prepared and administered the annual budget, relating to school operations. This included salary and payroll, equipment and supplies, and the cost of services. As a lifelong resident of South Buffalo, a husband and a proud father of four children, it would be a privilege and an honor to serve as South District Common Councilman. I am very passionate and optimistic about the future of the South District. I am well aware of the fact that the South District makes up only a piece of the puzzle, in terms of the entire Buffalo Common Council. As a whole, it is imperative that the voices of the constituents living within all nine Common Council Districts be heard. I have twenty -one years_ of-experience working as a Stationary Engineer for the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority, I worked both afternoon and midnight shifts and learned first- hand the meaning of earning a paycheck. The Housing Authority projects that I was involved with were scattered throughout the City of Buffalo. I can bring a whole different perspective to the Buffalo Common Council based on the experience and understanding of the needs of the community, not just in South Buffalo, but all throughout the city.

I am a Mcdaille College graduate in business administration. In addition to my degree, I have been a lifelong proud Western New Yorker. In 2007, I purchased my first home in South Buffalo. At a time when most people are leaving the City of Buffalo to move to the suburbs, I chose to invest in Buffalo. I have worked with 2 health insurance firms in the past and currently I am employed with Meritain Health, an Aetna company. I feel that I can be a valuable member of the Common Council because of my vision in seeing the City of Buffalo grow and prosper. South Buffalo is a unique community and has unique needs. I know what those needs are and I want to be a partner in developing and initiating those needs. I look forward to meeting with you in person to discuss my goals and ideas to help lead South Buffalo in its goals and agendas for a better tomorrow. y Warm Regards, Joseph M. Gartler 111 ■ JOSEPH M.

Buffalo City Hall City Clerk's Office 14201 Attn: Gerry Chwalinski Dear Sir, RE: Vacant So. Buffalo Council Seat We are writing to nominate Linda. Bain of Pomona Place to fill the above seat in the Council. Linda founded the Pomona Place Block Club over ten years ago, and has contributed to the improvement of the South Buffalo community in many ways. Her dedication to helping others is unparalleled. She produced the annual Seneca Street Car Show with the first year putting up her own funds for the insurance and permits. With excess firnds, she formed the annual "Christmas in Senecaville ", an art contest for all local schools to participate. Her concern for others is endless. One in particular was during the October storm. Many South Buffalo streets were barricaded by fallen trees Linda walked, and checked on many of the residents. One resident in particular was Joe Chlewicki, of 59 Pomona Place, who was crying out for help. His 5 year old daughter needed immediate medical attention. Her swollen glands and fever was cutting off this child's ability to breath. Linda Bain walked over fallen electric wires, climbed over trees to seek medical attention in order to get a Mercy Hospital emergency vehicle to transport this young girl to Mercy Hospital's Emergency Room. In the spring following the October storm, she joined the Re-Tree program of W IY, obtained 139 trees and organized the planting of them on Pomona Place, Amain and other neighboring streets. She continues to fight for the improvement of Seneca Street. Her last endeavor was to save an Ice Cream Parlor that was closing on Melrose and Seneca. The community cried out and once again, Linda came to the rescue. She recently leased and re- opened the Ice Cream Parlor and named it "7 West"; after her unit at Mercy Hospital as a Cardiac Registered Nurse. Linda is a member of St. Teresa's Parish, a Buffalo Zoo member, Friends of the Central Terminal Restoration Group, WNY Railroad and the South Buffalo Chamber of Commerce. She is an alumni of Trocaire College and Daemen college. p She has received several awards for her work. She received the Community Service Award from Greater South Buffalo Chamber of Conunerce in 2005 and Distinguished Community Volunteer Award from Trocaire College in 2010. Linda is a graduate from Trocaire and Daernen College possessing an Associate degree in business and a Bachelor degree in nursing. She currently has over 30 credits toward a Master's Degree in nursing. Linda is a veteran and served eight years in the Array Reserves. Her military, nursing experience and community involvement has given Linda the gift of serving the public continuously. Due to all of the above, she is well known in the South Buffalo Community and is recognized by many for her unselfish work. Her goal is to assist others and continuously improve, enhance and develop the South Buffalo District. We feel Linda Bain would be a hard working Council member we could count on for our District.

Rqv. n-5 4MITT88 C� C OMMt 1 TX M U PM ANl1 T R C TSS: 00 Good Afternoon, My name is Sharon Dove and I'm here on behalf of the family of Ms. Mover who resides at 33 St. Paul Mall N. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today by having this meeting open to the public. Before speaking specifically to some points that Mr. Pladino made in his presentation, I would like to give you a chronology of events that occurred for my parents and the circumstances that led them to move and become a part of the St. Paul Mall community. After 28 years of marriage and 6 children, my parents decided it was time to invest in their awn home. On October 11, 1975, by father became aware of St. Paul Mall. Literature said, "The concept of St. Paul Mall was to create an innovative style of city living by developing a new neighborhood using all the fine qualities of the traditional city black. Luxury houses of the early 26 century have been completely renovated into spacious, two - family homes. The street has been converted into a beautifully landscaped private pedestrian mall with spacious, well - planned park areas. All of this has been located in the ever - expanding Allentown community convenient to cultural, sports, social and business activities of the city. All of the conveniences, comforts and security of a modern `in -city' subdivision have been designed into this new planned community. St. Paul Mall, in addition to being a great place to live, is an ideal investment for the professionally minded. St. Paul Mall is a unique opportunity to become a part of the Allentown community." There were several features they liked about this revitalized community, with the private pedestrian mall, no thru- traffic and the novelty of having a private park available that their grandchildren could enjoy. At the time they made their decision, 5 of their children were grown adults and had moved out and only my youngest brother lived with them. They had put their children through college, those that had chosen to continue with their higher education. This was now their time and they were planning for retirement and spending time with the grandchildren. 5t. Paul Mall was the only place they had looked at and they were immediately sold. As first -time home buyers they also envisioned this as the only home they would have to purchase. Our Dad, along with our Mother were great financial planners. Typically, people take out 30 year mortgages with the hopes the house would be paid for by the time they retired, so this was a huge step for my Dad to be taking, because he was already 59 and hopefully, he would have retired prior to the 39 -year mortgage being paid off. He was not concerned, because he had planned that he could handle the mortgage payments evert during retirement. Again, the location, privacy and because of the opportunities their grandchildren would have, learning to ride their bikes knowing they would be safe from traffic on the pedestrian mall and almost just as safe in the area behind their home that was only open to traffic for people who lived in the homes. Bringing over their big wheels, little cars, skateboards and having their area to play in. This was all part of the `^r E a -4 J3 plan and their future. Additionally, there was the park area that the grandchildren could play in on those occasions when they just did not want to venture out of their community. On 4 -3 -76 they moved in, with my 2 older sisters moving into the upper apartment. By 1969 my older sisters had moved out, and I moved in with my son. In 1992 the St. Paul Community formed a dock Club. They used their meeting dues to buy flowers to maintain the landscaping in the pedestrian mall. I moved out in 1999 and my son remained. We've always wanted someone in the family to live over my parents. When my son moved out in 2097, we left it fully furnished because my parents had decided they would not rent it out and would keep it as the family "hotel" — when anyone came home to visit, we had a place to stay. My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 1999 and instead of placing him in hospice as the doctors had recommended, advising he only had 6 months to live, my Mom decided that hospice was not an option, and she cared for him at home. With her love, nurturing, care and our mother's own style of nursing, and family support, our father lived another 8 years. He passed in 2007. By letter dated March 10, 2009, our mother was approached by Queen City Realty Group, Michael Algawani, stating his "client owns property in close proximity to your Dome and is looking to further expand his investments. I am interested in speaking with you about the sale of your property at your convenience." This was a cold contact, there was no for sale sign on her property. If our mother didn't decide to leave in 2007 when our father passed„ why would she want to leave now? We did not respond to his letter. Mr. Algawani followed up with a phone call and Mom advised him that she was not interested. On August 30, 2011, our Mother contacted Councilmember Pridgen's office asking for a return call concerning the properties on St, Paul Mall Forth and South. Also on August Sa ", she went to City Hall — to the Assessment Office (Room 101) to find out how much property was selling for on St. Paul. She had heard that at least 6 properties had been sold, most to Paladino, if not all of them. Mom was preparing to go on vacation and she was trying to get as much information as possible to make an informed decision as to whether or not she should sale also. Mom did not want to be the last one standing in the community she had grown to love so much. On September 3, 2011, Mom sent an email to Councilmember Pridgen, introducing herself in case he didn't remember. She wrote. "Hello Rev. Pridgen. This is Mrs. Glover, Sharon Dove's Mother: She stated she had called his office at city hall the first of this week and left a message. It was concerning the properties on Saint Paul Mall N & S. I heard that most of them have been sold. I received a letter last year from Queen City Realtor asking if I wanted to sell. I never responded. Not knowing what was happening. Would you have any input as to who is buying all of this property and what will it be used for. Also if there is any pressure being Thank you for your response. Mrs.Zalouma Clover II live @ 33 Saint Paull Mail sell. N." On September 6, 2011, Mr. Pridgen returned Mom's call and said he didn't have any information at this time but he would see what he could find out. One Sunday, while visiting True Bethel Baptist Church, Pastor Pridgen, family friend, caught my eye and gave me the signal to come on back so we could meet with him after service. What I thought would be a quick catch up meeting to say hello, how are you doing, what's new -- when Mom had her opportunity she immediately started asking him about what was going on at St. Paul Mail — after all, not only was he the Pastor, but he was also her Councilmember for the Ellicott District. She mentioned how she had been approached by someone to buy her home, but she didn't: know why or what was happening. She mentioned her visit to City Nall and briefly gave him a run down of the properties she was aware of that had been sold and wanted to know what he could find out. We were told at that time that he was not aware of anything planned for St. Paul Mall. He asked if we were working with anyone and advised we should be working with someone for advice. She mentioned she would be going on vacation and would be gone for awhile, and we left with I would contact him in her absence. When Mom returned from her vacation there was no new information about what was happening to the community, except she learned that another 2 of her neighbors had sold their homes. Site also had received a letter dated November 30, 2011 from Gurney Becker & Bourne stating " I have a client interested in purchasing a two family house in your area. Since there are none on the market now, I am writing to see if you have any interest in sale," This letter was signed by James Eagan. The way this letter was written, it would make you think someone was interested in purchasing the home to live in. Mom knowing everyone was moving out opted not to respond to the letter. Again, her house was not on the market. After her next door neighbor moved out (42 St. Paul) after midnight one evening, Mom was awakened by someone at 42 moving things out of the house. Here was another unsafe situation for my Mom to be in. On December 3, 2011, Queen City Realtor contacted Mom again. This time with an offer of 90,000 saying this is the highest they would go. They talked about 3 houses besides hers that were still not sold. 43 (Dennis), 47 (Kit) and 34 (Mr. Hairston). So Mom contacted a lawyer and along with my brother she scheduled a meeting for us for the 17 of January because I would be home for the MLK weekend and could take another day off. When we had realized this might be Mom's last Christmas in her home, everyone celebrated in Buffalo with the exception of me and one of my sisters. So I asked my Mom if she could leave up her decorations so I could see them too. She told me she usually took down her decorations right after the first, so that would be a little long to keep them up. Even though there were now only 4 of them in the 3 community, Moat's tradition of decorating was continuing. Can you imagine my surprise and elation when my son and I were driving down Ellicott and approaching St. Paul Mall to see her Douse all lit up? I did get my one last opportunity to have a small share of the traditional Christmas celebration. We met the attorney on January 17, 2012. Specifically, we wanted to know what Morn's options were, what was happening with her community -- why was everyone selling.? The attorney basically referred us back to our Councilmember, telling us that would be the best place to start for getting information. We left there disappointed, feeling like we were in a vicious cycle of not gaining any information at all. I started doing more research on the City of Buffalo's web site, reading the Comprehensive Plan, council meeting notes, etc. Once you learn how to navigate the site, it does have a wealth of information, but not what I needed to know, or at Fast I couldn't find it. I'm sure you all are familiar with the Executive Summary, it said in pertinent part: 5. Rebuild neighborhoods, working with citizens to produce detailed neighborhood plans, striving to focus and coordinate investments for the greatest impact on physical conditions and investment environment, linking neighborhood development initiatives to jobs creating projects, and using demolition, rehabilitation and new construction to manage the housing stock to meet needs of a population expected to shrink further but then grow again. 6. Restore Olmstead, Ellicott and the waterfront, reinvesting repairing and building on the Ellicott grid and radial system, .,. The summary continues by saying the program includes ... new and rehabilitated housing; ... redevelopment of Ellicott plan radials ... The Buffalo Comprehensive Plan is the one plan for the City of Buffalo. It will provide a framework for all other planning initiatives including ... Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus Master plan; and all the neighborhood plans created under the auspices of the Good Neighbors Planning Alliance. With its review and adoption by the Common Council, Buffalo now has, perhaps for the first time ever, a truly comprehensive and authoritative plan to guide investments in the future of the city." Where was our community in the development of those plans? What are the plans? At this point, the remaining tenants were the Whitlock's Day Care Center (#47), a tenant whom Mom rarely saw at #43 (we felt that absent landlord might sell soon), and Mr. Hairston (#34) -® whom Mom saw only occasionally. Concerned for (Mom's safety, the family agreed it was time she put her house on the market. Her house was listed on January 23, 2012 and the very next day the realtor had received an offer, but it was lower than Mom had listed for. She received a call from the realtor who had contacted her previously and he told her she had just made a big mistake by listing her house. 4 Now she would have to give the reactor a commission, instead of being able to pocket all of the money herself. The offer she had been given, once the commission was paid; she would end up with less than he had been willing to buy the house for. The realtor came back to Mom with another offer and was told basically, if she did not accept, they would build a parking lot around her, they were not going any higher. Again Mom refused. Without any kind of notice, one day Mom woke up to a lot of noise and siding had staved being removed from the houses that had been sold across from her. The barrier to the entry of the pedestrian mall had been removed and demolition equipment had been moved in. They started first with # 29 that was. at the beginning of the development. Next were the houses directly across from her. January 30, 2012, the streetlights went out on the pedestrian mail. Mom called her realtor and Councilmember Pridgen. I advised her she should call the electric company, so she did so on February 1 The lights were repaired on February 7 Mom noticed they had to do something underground. Was this another form of intimidation to get her to move immediately? She now had to fear her safety. We were definitely feeling now that she could no longer live there with this happening around her. Warning signs were placed on the houses being demolished that there was asbestos. There was no notice to Mom, no messaging if there was anything she should do to protect her health from the asbestos. Around 3/12/12 ® Mom was contacted by her realtor stating Paladino wanted to meet with her at her home. She led Mom to believe the discussion was going to be about protecting her home, putting up the plastic because they were going to start demolishing the houses next door to her. After conferring with the family, Mom agreed to meet along with my brother so they could have that discussion. The meeting was going to be held on 3/15/12. As Councilmember Pridgen stated during your council meeting on the 13 I'm the daughter that sent him the text message on 3/12/12 asking what was going on. This seemed like an odd request to me. Why would a developer want to meet with Mom? At some point Pridgen advised there was going to be a council meeting on the 13 it would be live streamed. I would be at work at that time so I asked if it would be recorded on and available on the internet so I could watch later. He said yes. On the 14 ", the family had a teleconference to talk about the upcoming meeting with Paladino and what should be discussed during the meeting. After that I finally found the link to watch the council meeting from the 13 My impression was that Paladino had another agenda, so I sent the link to my sisters, Mom and brother and asked them to watch it immediately -- this was at 8:30 at night and to watch it before the meeting with Paladino. It appeared Paladino might be coming to visit my Mom to negotiate buying the house as opposed to explaining about how they were going to protect her home. 5 My recommendation was to cancel the meeting, but Mom wanted to continue because she wanted to find out when they were going to start putting the plastic up around her windows and when the actual demolition was going to start. We advised both my Mom and brother not to talk about the purchase of the house. If it came up to lawyer up. On the 15 Paladino cancelled the morning meeting and wanted to reschedule for the afternoon. My recommendation. was to cancel completely since I wasn't clear on his intentions and just felt uncomfortable with what was going on. First he wanted to schedule the meeting at 8:30 in the morning, then they agreed to 11:30 now it was being changed to I believe to 1:30. 1 did not think this was a sign of professionalism and meetings were being set up for his convenience and not my Morn's. During the meeting, Mom was offered an additional $5,000 — Paladino stated it would cost him $4,000 to put plastic up, he could give her the money instead. If he purchased her home there would be no need then to protect it. He also offered that Mom could stay there for six months free while she looked for another place. Mom said that offer still did not meet what she had listed the house for. They told Paladino they had to discuss the matter with their lawyer. When Mom told me about the conversation, I suggested she take her house off the market because we still did not have enough information to make any decisions. We had already heard of breakins at 43 St. Paul Mail and Paladino advised my Mom he had been questioned by the police and he nor his people were part of the breakins. Coincidentally, on the 1.6th my Mom had trouble locking had back door after briefly going out and when my brother came to investigate, it appeared to him someone might have tampered with the lock but when it became evident it was a deadbolt they left it alone. In a recent conversation, Mr. Hariston told me his house had been broken into. We didn't have these problems previously. My main concern or question has always been, why did Mom have to move? When I came to Buffalo in February, I could see the devastation that had been done to the community and could now understand my brother's concern and statements to us that Mom could not live there anymore. Whether we knew what was going to happen there or not, the situation was no longer safe for her. Mom did not have a mortgage to pay so how was Paladino's offer to allow her to live there free for 6 months an offer. She was already living there free. No mortgage and she had not even thought of moving previously. That was not in her retirement plans nor in the plans that she and Dad had made previously. Why should her life have been turned upside down? Facing costs of mortgage, increased taxes, mover, packer, and her retirement funds being drained to cover expenses she did not have previously. That's all of the events that have led up to today, now I want to address comments that Paladino made in the meeting on the 13 and today. 0 f P- Bottomline, we're asking you to vote against his purchase of the lots at 43 and 50 St. Paul Mall. It is inevitable that you're going to vote for what is good for Buffalo; however, the concern is also with the lack of forthright information, the swift movement of demolishing properties — somebody has a plan to be moving full steam ahead. Consequently, this has put pressure on my Mom to make hasty decisions and address new issues when my Mom is at the point in her life when she should be enjoying retirement -- visits from her children, her grandchildren, and great grandchildren to the fullest without the thought of uprooting. When she was recently asked what her travel plans were for this year, by now she would have been in the DC area with me enjoying the cherry blossoms, she said all of that had to be put on hold because she had to know first what was going on with her home in Buffalo. Previously, Mom didn't have to think about just packing up and going with us on cruises to the Mediterranean, Bahamas, Mother Daughter retreats to Phoenix, West Virginia, California, etc. Now is not the time to put those types of impromptu pleasure trips on hold. Notes from 3113/12 Common Council Meeting — Development Plan — presentation by Bill Paladino Looking to purchase property at 43 and 50 St. Paul — 933 Ellicott 43 and 50 are part of the planned parks that attracted Mons and Dad to the St. haul Mall community. If this was available to the community, why is the City now selling these lots and why wasn't the sale of the properties made known' Tabled — we just got notification that Mr. Paladino ... want to make sure residents have time we want to Notify the residents that we will be having hearings on all of these because he is here and has responded and has called within the last couple of days if you want to hear the presentation today, we can. We want to notify the residents. Bill Palladino — Ellicott Development Company — couple of handouts for everyone The first plan you'll see is a site plan actually if you want to start with the aerial a little easier 3 years ago we went driving down Main Street and saw that the old church and rectory for sale after negotiating with the Reverend there who was a little distressed we ending p buying the property Wow — the destruction of our .St. haul Community resulted from Mr. Paladino taking a drive down Main Street and deciding that this was an opportunity for him and his affiliates. There was no consideration given to the homeowners on whether they wanted to move or not. In looking at the history of the purchases, it appears the homes owned by vacant landlords were the first sold. At first, I thought is this what people do, just strive around see an opportunity and make plans? But then I read in the Buffalo's RECEIVED N FILED Aq Comprehensive Plan Buffalo in 2030: A vision - it stated in "1868 when William Dorsheimer took Frederick Law Olmsted driving on a Sunday afternoon and showed him the gently rolling farmland overlooking the city that Olmsted chose as the site for Delaware Park." So I guess that is what developers do, drive around. But the difference with Dorsheirner and Paladino, it appeared he acquired gently rolling farmland .. not a community that was occupied with residents. About 6- months to a year later the church came up, somebody had vandalized it, they were starting fires inside there — it went to an auction somebody had stripped a lot of the stained glass and good attributes to the church out and it was just totally distressed and people were talking about knocking it down and we went and bought the church then also How was the church up for auction if he already purchased it? As we sat here and just watched the Medical corridor grow we've had different owners on St. Paul Mall Street behind it — and there's about 12 residences that lived back there at one time started calling us — some were owner occupied and some had tenants in them. Most of the properties were very much distressed in their own right — we ended up negotiating the purchase of a few of those with some of the potential owners and since then have bought the majority of the houses there on the street In 2008 we had pictures that slowed a community with children playing, parches recently repaired on a few homes, but the homes not showing "the distressed in their own right." We will never know the specifics about those homes, because Paladino made sure that evidence was destroyed by demolishing 5 of these homes so far. Our plans as you see on the plans there we show a building could be constructed on the front half of the lot next to the church and it's just a very conceptual plan at this point and that's really the only place that we are right now talking about a lot of different uses for it one of the problems for building a new building there is that we obviously need some additional parking to go with it and what we did was design what we thought would be some reasonable a 13,000 sq. ft. per floor 3 stones and we're currently talking to different tenants what we did as we've talked to more and more people they would like to see a bigger floor plate with some different attributes being there Our mother was told, if she didn't accept offer of $90,000, they would build a parkins lot around her. A 13,000 sq, ft, per floor and 3 stories, seems more life a parking ramp. How could he even suggest doing this in a residential area? Wouldn't there have to be a rezoning from residential to business for that to happen? So as we're working with them we realized this building may grow a little bit a little bigger. That being said that's one of the reasons we've looked to acquiring those houses behind it because for additional parking. As we started buying some of the properties a few of the owners started calling us saying I'd sale now too, I'd sale now too! As we went through the different properties all of the properties there, except for a few, had a lot of structural problems, a lot of damage inside, lot of rodent problems a lot of bad tendencies broken windows this and. that just had not been maintained —by most of the owner occupied were being maintained the ones without landlords were not being maintained at all. Again, as stated previously, Paladiho has already demolished 5 of the homes, so if there was structural damage, the evidence of it is gone. It leads me to the question though, that if the houses were purchased from 11124110 through 1114/11, i.e. up to just a mere few months ago and people were living in them at that time, how could so much damage have been created that they needed to be destroyed. I never heard my mom complain of a rodent problem. What we have seen now; However, after Paladino purchased the various properties is water in the basement of two houses. In one of the basements we could hear water running. It was so flooded; a couch was floating in the basement. I called the dater Department for them to investigate. We feared if that water kept running it would lead to our Mother's basement flooding or some other damage occurring to her home, even if she was 4 houses away. Was all of this water going to create a sink hole's Was this another form of intimidation? What is the responsibility that during demolishment, it doesn't further detract from the neighborhood, deteriorate the neighborhood? Are there any regulations that need to be followed, that water should be shut off A couple of properties on the aerial you'll see we've marked 1 and 2 there 1 is a day care. Next to it owned by Mr. Triplett — and that property right now there is somebody living in it they have no meters use propane for heat flashlights to see — it's just a very bad situation but the owner doesn't seem to care and the tenant just continues to live there -- we've asked the city to look into it and the house is failing apart but they haven't Those 2 properties we are not looking to acquire at this point and have been and we're currently talking to a few more property owners on the north side of St. Maul llillall about buying their properties and we actually have meetings with them in the next couple of weeks to discuss it further. All of the properties there are assessed somewhere between 30 and $50,000 that's what most of our values were some we did pay a little more because they had a lot more work done to their properties and were in a lot better shape, Owner at Day Care (# 47) also told, they would build the parking lot around him, if their offer was not accepted. D t 91 No one here was forced to sale in any way — everyone here came to us willingly or we negotiated with them -- willing and able buyers — after acquiring them as I've said we have knocked down a few that were in bad shape and a few more that were next to therm we couldn't find tenants for so at this time our plans are very preliminary as what we are looking at here. We are talking to a number of tenants but in talking to them we want to have the options available of providing them the amenities they do want and the requirements they do want to occupy buildings on the street. Main Street, unlike back in the medical corridor has a lot of options available 2 or 3 retail housing medical office. In between the church which is going to remain and a new building we are going to propose here sometime in the future we think we could do a really good job of developing a nice plan there for the neighborhood further Delp the campus and further Delp Gain Street. No one forced to sell, but isn't that what they are attempting to do to our Mother .,... force her to sell? We feel through her realtor giving her the message if she didn't sell, they would build a parking lot around her was a "veiled threat." Also, demolishing the homes directly in front of her home, the one directly next doom to her on either side being scheduled for demolishment, aren't those intimidating factors? He demolished homes that were in "a lot better shape" as Mr. Paladino put it because they were owner occupied? What was the rush to tear there down? He said the Domes had structural damage, but with them already being leveled we won't know now will we? I had pictures from 2008 where the homes had been worked on, porches had been repaired, columns reinforced, etc. Was he trying to intimidate my another? When was permission granted for hire to open up the pedestrian mail? The beaches have been removed, the barrier moved, and the concrete around the landscaping on the side of the demolished homes destroyed. When did he get permission to do this? Pictures from 2008 and every those pasted on Buffalo Rising web site in 2010 does not show Domes that needed to be demolished. Fm not an engineer, but in only one year, could those houses have become so dilapidated or in such need of repair that the best option was to destroy therm? After all these were homes, that only a mere few months ago had been occupied. People were living in therm. There were no warnings issued that there were violations of building codes in the homes that needed to be repaired. 11 M, Smith: So what is going to go into where the existing stone church is, what is going to happen there? Paladine: Currently we're looking at a mix of residential and retail — we have our engineers currently analyzing the structure — we think it is pretty sound -- we have to make some improvements to it — the inside is totally destroyed — it's a wide open floor plate — as I stated before, they've started fires in there floors missing in some areas — so a lot of work has to go into it. But the structure itself and the exterior is in very good shape — now with some new windows and some, a little care it would all come back to 10 life and took very nice W but depending on what we do next to it and what type of tendencies we get, we are talking to different offices a medical, as 1 said retail again between all of those components and residential we will work something in both of those structures bring them both together and make it look like one project combine the fagade make it a real nice project Smith: So I guess then the only thing for sure that is going to happen is the parking lot Palladino: The only thing for sure is that we are going to redevelop the church ® the size and shape of the new building we are going to propose maybe try to reuse one of the rear school buildings at some point in time those are still things we are talking about — but when you combine the square footages of all that property we will be we know that we will need additional parking in the future. And that is one of the reasons for acquiring the city lots that are adjacent to lots we've already purchased we just want to make sure that whoever we talk to we can tell them up front that we will have parking available to suit their needs Smith: Right so the parking lot is going to go in before the any of the buildings Palladino: No, the building will go in with the parking we would like to acquire right now the lots so we can say in our design we can provide you the parking you should need. Right now, I guess our request is for the city to sell us these lots because we've already purchased the lots around them, I guess, so we can put together a fruitful development plan in the future These lots comprise the "planned parks" that were included as being available to the buyers of the homes at St. caul Mail. Smith: What was the average purchase price of the properties? ;: ;;.: � .o- a is� � � • 'F�1 11� Smith: The average purchase price for each of the residents was $60,000 Palladino: We purchased there anywhere from I think it was a little over $100,000 to 45,000 is the range. The average is probably $60,000. Which given the condition of them it's a roughly a fair market value — individually not worth much, but together collectively in assemblage it's more valuable because we can do more with it. And everything here that we're proposing we would have to come back to the council and also the planning board for their final approval and review of anything that we should propose here in the future. I should say the final plan we will propose here in the future Pay someone an average of $60,000 to 0o where in Buffalo? Where can you find another community in Buffalo that has no thruw traffic, a private pedestrian rnall, own private park and an additional parking area? Even an offer of $05,000 is not going to find that type of community. 11 done? Mr. Smith aro you all Pridgen Pridgen: Thank you sir. Is this the existing is this a parsonage next door to the church is that coming down? Palladino. -- Right now under our current plans we are proposing to take that building down yes. Pridgen. This is not landmarked or anything right? Pridgen; Let me say this especially saying Thank you for paying attention to this, especially to the church — eyesore to the community part of concern not necessarily with your company but making sure lot of residents feeling disenfranchised for one of the reasons but for any company anybody even private residents that want land whether you're a CDC, private company or resident that wants land in the Medical Corridor we are going to bring before the committee residents complaining feeling disenfranchised understood don't know what's going on — not about your company — I'm not able to respond to them because we don't have it in front of it. Resident at 38 which isn't marked I marked it 3 is the — Mover residence they approached me at — full disclosure they approached me at church one Sunday and didn't have any representation contacted by a company for sale I'm just hoping we're being real cooperative Paladino. We are and I think if you talk. to Mrs. Clover right now or Mrs. I can't think of the lady representing her right now, Talk to Ms. Glover right now have been very accommodating trying to be as amenable with their future plans where possible and 1 hope at some point we'll come to some mutual acceptable arrangements. I'm actually meeting with Ms. Clover this week. Our mother was under the impression from the information provided by her realtor was that the meeting was scheduled to discuss the protection of her home. When was the plastic going to be put up and when were the Douses on either side of her going to be demolished? blow was she going to be protected? Paladino's remarks sounded as if he had another agenda. After listening to this meeting, I immediately called both my Morn and brother who was also going to be at the meeting to let them know about this agenda and to also advise there not to talk about the sale of the home. We were aware of asbestos being in the homes so we were only concerned with my mother's safety and not getting exposed to any asbestos. Pridgene And her daughter texted me yesterday and said that someone I guess someone visited her in the last couple of days from your company and again in full disclosure I'm not acting as a real estate agent for her and made sure the person listing her house knows that I don't expect any commission. They are family friends and that is how I got really finding out about all of this and what the neighbors' concern is — 12 would you be willing to come back before this committee in 2 weeks after we notify the residents and I really appreciate it, we've had other people that have not been as cooperative on different community issues that affected our community and so for you to. be here to respond slows it shows that you are willing to participate in the process of informing the residents. And my hope is that other developers who want to do business in a neighborhood where property values are actually going up will be as responsive, especially, even if they don't want these properties, but just as they're doing these projects so that our residents don't feel disenfranchised. So if we could leave it on the table Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman: Sure and just let me echo your sentiments before we go to Mr. Locurto, I've also appreciated Mr. Paladino's come to all of the community meetings in the North District off Tonawanda Street and other parts of the district even when he knew he was going to get whacked around a little bit he still showed up and I appreciated that. So he's helped in that regard on Tonawanda Street and elsewhere. Mr. Locurto `.Tat rakes the North District so different from the Ellicott District in that there have been community meetings. What happened to Ellicott? Why is it for Ellicott District — , rl Paladino can say we don't have the right to know their intentions? Isn't it important to know what her options are? Whether or not she could remain in her home and stag in a community that is once again tieing revitalized? It was not an issue of gefting the market value for her property. Why did she have to move? Locurto: Just a quick question. On the site plan it looks like the school is gone to. Paladino: School going to — you might use it. Boiler plate — it could be anything -- we don't know yet. We have to have something to show them — showing them existing doesn't do anything for anybody. Plans still up in the air.

Rocco Termini: Archaic rule on community colleges creates inefficiency - Another Voice. - The Buffalo News Page l of 2 T Another Voice /Competitionvs. collaboration Kocco Termini: Archaic rule on community coll creates inetticiency By Rocco Termini Published:March 20, 20x2, x2:oo AM Recommend ' 15 2 Updated: March 20, 2 012, 11:4o AM Erie Community College's recent decision to locate its health services building in Amherst instead of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is somewhat troubling. The reason given by the president of the college is that students in northern Erie County will not go to a downtown campus but will instead travel to Niagara County Community College. The State Education Department has an archaic rule that penalizes a county $6,500 for any county resident who travels to a neighboring county community college. The state needs to ask itself what is more important —. competition or collaboration? Aren't we better off with regional centers of excellence than a series of mediocre community colleges? Niagara County Community College, in conjunction with Niagara University, is building a state-of-the-art hospitality training center. Does that now mean that Erie County needs to waste taxpayer money building a new hospitality center to compete with Niagara County? Or does it make more sense to allow Erie County residents the ability to travel between counties without the $6,50o penalty? The Buffalo Urban Development Corp. currently owns the former Trico Products plant on Ellicott and Tupper streets in the middle of the medical campus. Wouldn't it make more sense to locate the health science school, in the Trico building rather than in Amherst? The building is on the National Historic Register, which would make it eligible for historic tax credits, and is surrounded by a 400-car parking lot. It is also being mentioned as a candidate for demolition. Before the wrecking ball strikes, should we at least consider the possible reuses of this building? What better place to locate a health science building but in the middle of the medical campus, home or soon -to -be home to the University at Buffalo Medical School and Buffalo General, Roswell Parr, Millard 1~ilhnore and Children's hospitals. It is also the hub of bioinformatics research. In the early part of the loth century, it was politically and practically popular to have a number of tax-supported community colleges scattered throughout the region because transportation was difficult. Now it is a drain on resources to have so many schools in various locations. Resources should be more efficiently applied to fewer campuses. Wouldn't the state budget and the people be better served by consolidating administrative costs and higher education resources on a regional rather than a county -by- county basis? http:// www. buffalonews .corri/editorial- page /from- our - readers /another- voice /article771836,ece 3/22/2012 Rocco Termini: Archaic rule on community colleges creates inefficiency - Another Voice - The Buffalo Nees Page 2 of 2 Western New York has made many mistakes over the last 5o years, bringing UB to Amherst, building the Buffalo Bills stadium in Orchard Park and a transit system to nowhere. We have a chance to change our string of bad decisions. New York State should move to change this rule before it's too late and we make another mistake. Rocco Termini is president of Signature Development in Buffalo. Comments soar. NENNEST F11' ST € OLDEST FIRST Interesting that one of the biggest tax hogs in downtown Buffalo arrogantly criticizes the value of community colleges and their funding formulas that have served both tax payers and communiy college students quite well for generations! Maybe the answer for our developer baron's concerns is similar to what Joel Giambra tried in his consolidation model for these colleges. If the tax payers of Niagara county were to suggest that NCCC ends its existence and send all of their students to ECC and have the Erie County tax payer subsidize all of the 5000 or more students who would move there, I doubt the politicians or Erie Couny residents would sit still for this increased fiscal burden. Maybe, just maybe what is good for ECC and it's students should be left to the ECC Board of Trustees and there administration and downtown developers and their minions in The Buffalo News Boardroom should respect their decisions. Mistakes :trade in the past negatively effecting downtown Buffalo development are many. However, the funding formula for community colleges and their value to their sponsoring communities is not one of them! ANTHONY S.

Opposition to Elimination of the #63 Riverside Express Bus Dear Ms. Minkel: o, LEGISIATIVE ASSISTANTS TIMOTHY VON DER EMPTEN SANDRA BATTEL COMMITTEES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT LEGISLATION MBEC WATERFRONT The recent news that the NFTA has decided to eliminate the #63 Riverside Express Bus has resulted in my office receiving many calls from concerned residents. The #63 bus serves areas of my district that do not have easily accessible bus service. I have attached some of the correspondence for your review. The 463 bus serves downtown workers and high school and college students. Residents have told my office that the NFTA cut one of the runs last year and the one remaining run is usually full of riders. If riders are forced to use the #5 Niagara and #3 Grant buses a considerable distance away, the NFTA may lose these fare paying customers at a time when the NFTA ought to be doing everything they can to maintain and increase ridership. Please reconsider the decision to eliminate the 463 Riverside Express bus. My office is willing to work with residents and the NFTA to find a solution that would keep this vital bus service available to residents of the Riverside community. I look forward to dialogue with the NFTA on this issue and thank you in advance for your anticipated response to this request. - - - -- Original Message---- - From _ Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 1:08 PM To: Councilmember Golombek Cc: Battel,Sandra S.

As a resident in this area and regular bus rider I .am asking for your help to maintain this service. They have cut this service about a year ago when they took us down to 1 bus from 2 in the morning$ and evenings, we are once again on the chopping block. The elimination of this bus altogether will force us to take either the #5 or the #3 which takes over an hour to get to the downtown area or City Hall where several of us work. No other bus currently goes down Vulcan Street. Over this past year, this Bus has been very full. People who take this bus are students from Hutch Tech and Erie Community College as well as local residents who are employed downtown to name a few. As we are the local working class people who are paying the fare to get to our jobs, we are asking you to help us keep this one bus service in this area!!! I am going to have to pay additional fare and have less service. The system makes it so hard for people to get to work and school. Thanks Candice Colby. 1 From. Laurie]. Domiano Seat.

Metre Bus Hello, I am sending this email to voice my concern regarding the proposed deletion of the 63 Riverside Express bus planned by the NFTA -Metro for May, 1, 2012. I have taken this bus for more than 35 years and it has always had numerous passengers on it. The recent cutback by the NFTA eliminated .l inbound and 1 outbound so I am no longer able to ride this bus home since I am still at work when the bus leaves at 4.40 pm fi downtown but I do still ride each morning to work on this bus. This bus line not only services people on their way to and from work each day but also accomodates numerous students to ECC and various high schools as well. It.is unfortunate that a number of passengers that currently ride this bus each morning will have to walk a considerable distance to catch either the 5 Niagara or the 3 Grant as an aleternative if this line is cut from service. I am certain they will also be delayed to make connections to other bus lines to get to work on time. Since we are the ones paying for the service with an increase on the way it would be nice to see this line remain. I would also like to add that they could do a better job of cleaning these buses as well.. I don't mind paying the fare but some of the buses are downright disguisting. I am always grateful for any assistance you can provide. * ** Just as a note and nothing do with the current plan to cut this route, you may be aware that 1 was injured on a bus that stopped abruptly in 2010. I just wanted you to know that for some reason in NYS a MetroINFTA is technically not responsible for the injuries a person sustains while riding on the bus (unless the person sues them and wins the case). Not only did all of the medical go through my Na Fault Insurance, my auto insurance increased by $80.00 per month for a full year due to that accident. The only way they could have possibly been responsible would be if I had sued them. I did not pursue that as I thought at the time they would be responsible for the medical but I guess I was wrong. 1. do think something should be done regarding this little loophole they seem to have in the NYS No Fault insurance law. It just does not seem fair to me that they can cause injury to a person and then not be responsible for the injuries sustained. They.would rather spend dollars on pursuing a legal claim through the courts than just pay the medical. Not sure who would look into something like this, but my insurance agent was very surprised when her discovered my insurance would be fully responsible. Thank you for listening to my concerns.

To provide some balance, the Empire Energy Forum was formed in early 2011 . for the purpose of bringing recognized experts and verifiable facts to the New York energy debate. We have an active website ( www.EmpirQEner�y orum.com and are supported by small business owners, landowners, unions, non-profit groups and numerous corporate executives, who think we should be having an honest and open discussion about hydraulic fracturing. On April 4 and April 5 we are holding two forums for community leaders like you, to give you opportunity to. hear explanations about the science and the process. .Pennsylvania residents will also share with you their experience with hydraulic fracturing and describe its economic impact on their local communities.

Crawf By susa€r P_ Crav,rcrd In cities and towns across the U.S„ a familiar story is replaying itself. Powerful companies are preventing local governments from providing an essential service to their citizens. More than 100 years ago, it was electricity. Today, it is the public provision of communications services. - The Georgia legislature is currently considering a bill that would effectively make it impossible for any city in the state to provide for high -speed Internet access networks — even in areas in which the private sector cannot or will not. Nebraska, North Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee already have similar laws in place. South Carolina is considering one, as is Ftorida. Mayors across the U.S. are desperate to attract good jobs and provide residents with educational opportunities, access to affordable health care, and other benefits that depend on affordable, fast connectivity -- something that people in other industrialized countries take for granted. But powerful incumbent providers such as AT &T Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc, are hamstringing municipalities. At the beginning of the 20th century, private power companies electrified only the most lucrative population centers and ignored most of America, particularly rural America, By the mid- 1920s, 15 holding companies controlled 85 percent of the nation's electricity distribution, and the Federal Trade Commission found that the power trusts routinely gouged consumers. Costly and Dangerous In response, and recognizing that cheap, plentiful electricity was essential to economic development and quality of life, thousands of communities formed electric utilities of their own. Predictably, the private utilities claimed that public ownership of electrical utilities was "costly and dangerous" and "always a failure," according to the November 1906 issue of Moody's Magazine. Now more than 2.000 communities in the U.S., including Seattle, San Antonio and Los Angeles, provide their own electricity. Today, the Institute for Local Self - Reliance, which advocates for community broadband initiatives, is tracking more than 60 municipal governments that have built or are building successful fiber networks, just as they created electric systems during the 20th century. In Chattanooga, Tennessee, for example, the city's publicly owned electric company provides fast, affordable and reliable fiber Internet access. Some businesses based in Knoxville — 100 miles to the northeast -- are adding jobs in Chattanooga, where connectivity can cost an Search Nevrs, Quotes and Opinion F OLL0Yd VIEW COLUMNISTS MOST POPULAR SLOGS JUST ADDED...

Where it's available, Americans pay five or six times as much for their fiber access as people in other countries do. Fully a third of Americans don't subscribe to high -speed Internet access at all, and AT &T Chief Executive Officer Randall Stephenson said last month that the company was "trying to find a broadband solution that was economically viable to get out to rural America, and we're not finding one, to be quite candid." America is rapidly losing the global race for high -speed connectivity. Tamping Down Enthusiasts Like the power trusts of the 20th century, the enormous consolidated providers of wired Intemet access want to tamp down any enthusiasm for municipal networks. Last year, telecom lobbyists spent more than $300,000 in a failed effort to block a referendum in Longmont, Coiorado, to allow that city to provide Internet access. Time Warner Cable managed to get a North Carolina law enacted last year that makes launching municipal networks there extraordinarily difficult. The pending measures in Georgia and South Carolina are modeled on the North Carolina bill. The Georgia bill is chock -full of sand traps and areas of deep statutory fog from which no local public network is likely ever to emerge. In addition to the ordinary public hearings that any municipality would hold on the subject, a town looking to build a public network would have to hold a referendum. It wouldn't be allowed to spend any money in support of its position (there would be no such prohibition on the deep - pocketed incumbents). The community wouldn't be allowed to support its network with local taxes or surplus revenues from any other services (although incumbents routinely and massively subsidize their networks with revenue from other businesses). Most pernicious of all, the public operator would have to include in the costs of its service the phantom, imputed "capital costs" and "taxes" of a private provider. This is a fertile area for disputes, litigation and delay, as no one knows what precise costs and taxes are at issue, much less how to calculate these amounts. The public provider would also have to comply with all laws and "requirements" applicable to "the communications service," if it were made available by "a private provider," although again the law doesn't specify which service is involved or which provider is relevant. The end result of all this vague language will be to make it all but impossible for a city to obtain financing to build its network. Although the proponents of Georgia's bill claim that they are merely trying to create a level playing field, these are terms and conditions that no new entrant, public or private, can meet -- and that the incumbents themselves do not live by. You can almost hear the drafters laughing about how impossible the entire enterprise will be. Globally Competitive Networks Right now, state legislatures -- where the incumbents wield great power — are keeping towns and cities in the U.S. from making their own choices about their communications networks. Meanwhile, municipalities, cooperatives and small independent companies are practically the only entities building globally competitive networks these days. Both AT &T and Verizon have ceased the expansion of next - generation fiber installations across the U.S., and the cable companies' services greatly favor downloads over uploads. Congress needs to intervene. One way it could help is by preempting state laws that erect barriers to the ability of local jurisdictions to provide communications services to their http: / /www.bloomberg.cominews 1201 2 -02 -1 Slthe- case - for - publicly - owned- intemet- servic... 212912012 The Case for Publicly Owned Internet Service: Susan P.

Though it is not slated just how much the locals are charging their Share This Page residents for connecting to the Internet nor is it stated how satisfied customers are, the fact is that the. major broadband companies cWrn the cities pose an unfair advantage to their broadband business. The reasoning why cities should build their own broadband service is simple. The cities are. better able to tike control who gets service, including those who may reside outside of the city. Some of the major broadband Tweet providers may not see providing of services where the source of revenue could be less than profitable, whereas a city may go the extra mile to service everyone they can. Subscribe In addition, cities see broadband service as good business sense for their communities. Win more and more people telecommuting or setting up businesses on the Web, the cities teal they provide a valuable service to = f u r} t their residents. Without broadband these business ventures could Rounder and could make a city less• attractive as a residence. So how important is broadband in a small city? The city I live in has a population of about 20 thousand, About four years ago the total chamber starting questioning both cable and phone companies as the to the reasoning behind why service wasn't being provided to the entire city. They also brought this to the attention of city officials who considered going it on their own and providing broadband to everyone. Surprise, surprise. Both cable and the phone people had everyone connected within a year, no matter where they lived. Now that the FCC has embraced an open Internet for all, will more cities around the country take the leap into the broadband business? More important, is having the local city government controlling our broadband service a good idea? Personally I believe it depends on where you live and how much you trust your Local government. The city where I live controls electric rates, garbage, water, sewer, and a recycling center. We currently enjoy some of the lowest rates in the nation for these services. So for me this could work for my city to take over broadband internet services including TV and landlines. Just my two cents. What do you think? Comments welcome.

The move of cities into the Internet business has prompted some telecom companies to adjust {graphic: communitybroadband.com( their business operations. One example is Monticello, Mtfnnesota, where the city's fiber network prompted private provider TITS to build its own system, after the company said for years residents didn't need it. "if forced to, private companies will compete," writes David Morris,.director of the New Rules Proj ect. "But they much prefer to spend tens of mill - tons of dollars buying the votes of state legislators to enact taws that thwart competition rather than spend hundreds of millions to improve their networks." According to New Rules, four states have banned municipal networks: Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Another 14 have strong restrictions on their development. Although the federal govemment's Schools and Libiad s Program (also known as E - Rate) provides funds to help local schools and libraries buy broadband, communities are not allowed to use the money to build a municfpat network.

Common connection technologies include unlicensed wireless (Wi -Fi, wireless mesh networks), licensed wireless (such as WIMAX), and fiber- optic. Although many cities previously deployed Wi -Fi based solutions, municipal fiber -to -the -borne networks are becoming more prominent due to increased demand for modern audio and video applications, which are increasing bandwidth requirements by 40% per annum. * I Operation * 2 Advantages * 3 Disadvantages iff 4 Successful implementation in Bristol, VA * 5 Finance * 6 United States policy * 7 Current status of municipal wireless networks' a 8 See also * 9 External links * 10 Sources ® 11 References Most municipal broadband networks avoid sometimes unreliable hub and spoke distribution models and use mesh networking instead. [21 This method involves relaying radio signals throughout the whole city via a series of access points or radio transmitters, each of which is connected to at least two other transmitters. Mesh networks provide reliable user connections and are also faster to build and less expensive to run than the hub and spoke configurations. Internet connections can also be secured through the addition of a wireless router to an existing wired connection — a convenient method for Internet access provision in small centralized areas. Although wireless routers are generally reliable, their occasional failure means no Internet availability in that centralized area. This is why companies now use mesh networking in preference to hub and spoke configurations. Three basic models for the operation and funding of Wi -Fi networks have emerged: Networks designed solely for use by municipal services (fire., police, planners, engineers, libraries, etc.). Municipal funds are used to establish and run the network; Quasi - public networks for use by both municipal services and private users owned by the municipality but operated for profit by private companies ( "private hot spots "). Such networks are funded by specially earmarked tax revenues then operated and maintained on a chargeable basis by private service providers; Private service providers using public property and rights of way for a fee. These allow for in -kind provision of private access to public rights of way to build -out and maintain private networks with a 'lease payment' or percentage of profits paid to the municipality. http:// en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Municipal broadband 2/29/2012 Municipal broadband - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 2 of 7 In Stockholm, the city owned Stokab provides network infrastructure through dark fiber to several hundred service providers who provide various alternative services to end users. l' Reggefiber in the Netherlands fulfils a similar role. The Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency provides service at one network layer higher through a fiber network. This system's capacity is wholesaled to fifteen service providers who in turn provide retail services to the market. A final model is the provision of all layers of service, such as in Chaska, Minnesota, where the city has built and operates a Wi -Fi Internet network that provides email and web hosting applications. These different models involve different public - private partnership arrangements, and varying levels of opportunity for private sector competition. In the U.S. a few states have banned municipal broadband, others have restricted it, and some have regulated it following prudent business plans and studies. In 2007, three bills concerning the issue were pending before the U.S. Congress. One would have affirmed municipal broadband, one would have restricted it, and one would have prohibited it. The Community Broadband Act of 2007, created "to promote competition, to preserve the ability of local governments to provide broadband capability and services, and for other purposes ", never became law. [4][51 Incumbent telecommunications and cable companies wishing to maintain their dominance in the market have complained that government competition is unfair. Other network operators have viewed it as an opportunity to expand their market. The Free Press, the Media Access Project, and the ACLU have all come out in favor of municipal broadband. The reconstruction of New Orleans provided the impetus to build a metro -scale wireless broadband network to deliver free public Internet service alongside communications for government and emergency services. Bell South threatened the city with legal actionicitation needed) if the New Orleans municipal network continued to be run by the city. Consequently, the network was sold to a third -party company. Municipal broadband offers a number of advantages to consumers and to the economy. Such networks often provide high speed Internet access for free, if not more cheaply than other current broadband service providers. Different cities adopt different models according to their needs. In the case of St. Cloud, Florida's, a municipal broadband network offers free access to everyone as does Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [61 Municipal broadband not only provide high speed Internet access for free it also lowers prices, creates competition, and boosts economic development. These advantages help keep prices down and networks functioning efficiently. Municipal broadband companies are faced with a constantly changing and highly competitive market with many operators. This keeps prices down and makes broadband affordable in rural and low - income communities. In a 2004 White House report, the President called for "universal, affordable access for broadband technology by the year 2007" and "plenty of technology choices when it comes to purchasing broadband ". Worker productivity can also increase as a result of municipal broadband by giving city officials such as police officers and firefighters remote access to information. Intelligent transport systems rely on fiber - optic infrastructure to network and manage thousands of traffic signals in large metropolitan areas every day. Building inspectors can issue reports and access networked data while conducting inspections. Public buildings in remote areas can be connected through Wi-Fi without the expense of fiber or private http:// cn .wikipedia.org /wiki/Municipal_ broadband 2/29/2012 Municipal broadband - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 3 of 7 telecommunications contracts. Police officers can access security cameras, blueprints, criminal records, and other necessary information. Networks can allow officers to show witnesses mug shots or ".virtual lineups" at the scene of a crime, instead of at a police station. The Department of Homeland Security provides funding for cities that use municipal networks for these applications. 181 Not only does municipal broadband help public servants with their jobs, it also helps close the digital divide. Such services help bridge the gap by providing people with public access to the Internet. This allows low income families, travelers, and city officials to access important information without budgetary considerations in mind. The importance of free Internet access is based on information availability, for example students with no home Based access are able to log on to the Internet using municipal broadband. Commentators hope that municipal broadband networks will make cities more attractive to businesses, especially high -tech and research companies, which are dependent on communication. Communication also enables small and hoe -based businesses to participate in international and regional commerce. Municipal broadband also allows companies to recruit new employees who can telecommute without physically relocating. 191 In 2000, the Federal Communications Commission endorsed municipal broadband as a "best practice" for bringing broadband to under served communities. The FCC also addressed the question of whether a municipality was an "entity" under the Telecommunications Act which mandates that "No State or local statute or regulation, or other State or local legal requirement, may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the ability of any entity to provide any interstate or intrastate telecommunications service." 47 USC 253(a). The legal question revolved around whether a state could prevent a municipality, as its subordinate government body, from entering the telecommunication market. In the case of Missouri Municipal League v. Nixon,l ] the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that a municipality was not an entity under the Telecommunications Act and that a state could determine what authority its own subordinate jurisdictions had. Governments have the advantage of being able to take a long term view and write off investments in municipal broadband over longer time periods. Private companies on the other hand, especially publicly traded ones, have to show profitability in a very short period. This indicates that governments are the best entities to create a broadband network —as infrastructure ---- --then allow private companies to run it and deliver services such as IPTV, telephony and Internet access. In this way, governments are able to create a competitive environment where the network owner does not determine which services consumers can receive. "Structurally separation" or "functional separation" are terms often used to describe broadband as infrastructure that is open to all service providers. Governments may also be driven by their desire to lay down critical broadband infrastructure that serves a larger constituency made up of individuals, small businesses, schools, government entities and service providers. Building open - access local broadband networks can help with the infrastructure of a town and provide benefits to the townspeople that compensate for the costs involved.[ 1 ] Having a publicly -owned infrastructure provides a positive outcome in economic development as it attracts more locally owned businesses who can rely on high speed Internet connections to help their businesses. Such networks also deliver ubiquitous coverage in areas where private companies cannot own and operate public broadband networks. Enhanced services are included whereby townspeople can benefit from a greater diversity of value -added products. Security is a further issue with the need for a reliable integrated highspeed communications infrastructure at both a national and a local level necessary for hospitals, schools, businesses etc. to provide a quick and large scale responses to emergencies. http:// en. wikipedia .org /wiki/Municipal_broadband 2/24/2012 Municipal broadband - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 4 of 7 Disadvantages" Although municipal broadband may be helpful to many, there is a question as to whether it is essential and if so at what cost. Municipal broadband ideology and technology have complex issues with numerous legal implications, all of which must be considered when installing municipal broadband or wireless networking. Social focus needs to be directed at government agencies who authorize municipal broadband, thus dictating its availability and price. Asa relatively new and improvable concept, municipal broadband is still extensively regulated by both the FCC and individual state guidelines and standards. Universal broadband services cannot be implemented without rigorous governmental- policy debate in regulating the use of the broadband.lcltation needed) A study by the Reason Foundation found that highly dynamic wireless Internet technology allows for a higher risk for providers. There are also concerns over price gouging or "elasticity of demand ", a concept that will force Internet service providers to provide a continued loop of special offerings and lower prices. [citation needed] Legally and politically, the issues surrounding broadband are numerous, but a multitude of technical issues are yet to be overcome, such as how citywide wireless Internet can avoid interfering with transmissions by other Internet and network providers. There are also four important economic aspects to be considered with the respect to municipal broadband: 1. Which providers are currently providing service in a particular area or region? 2. What will be the effect on current providers economically, socially, and individually? 3. Will the installation be funded by local, state, or national government? 4. Who will be responsible for on -going maintenance? Of these four areas, the funding question is the most controversial and contingent upon the belief that national government should fund broadband. There are concerns over complete convergence and control of the Internet being placed in government hands under projects ultimately funded by the taxpayer. Although municipal broadband has the potential to provide a quandary in concepts of right or wrong, rich or poor, and literacy or illiteracy, the technology can either work to decrease the ever growing digital divide or might just as easily make it wider. [citation needed] In 2003, in the relatively isolated city of Bristol, Virginia, Bristol Virginia Utilities (BVU), created a nonprofit offshoot called "Optinet ", a municipal broadband Internet service that covers Bristol as well as the Southwest portion of the state of Virginia. Serving around 9,500 custorners, BVU is recognized as the "first municipal utility in the United States to deploy an all -fiber network offering the triple play of video, voice and data services ". 1121 On October 29, 2009, BVU received USD 3.5 million in grant funding from the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revelitalization Commission. With these funds BVU will build "an additional 49 miles of its OptiNet fiber -optic backbone from Abingdon up 1 -81 to Virginia Route 16 from Marion into Grayson County ". 1131 This will also allow for BVU to make a second connection with Mid Atlantic Broadband, increasing communication between different businesses in Northern Virginia. The Virginia Tobacco Community funded this project because it provided their business with more connections in crucial areas of the southwest and southern part of Virginia. The U.S. Department of Commerce also funded BVU. On July 3, 2010, it was reported that they gave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipal 2/29/2012 Municipal broadband - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 5 of 7 USD 22.7 million in stimulus funds to. Southwest Virginia to create a "388 -mile optic backbone through 1 an eight - county region ". 1141 This project will service over 120 institutions, such as schools, hospitals, govern ment buildings, and many more besides. This new municipals broadband service will also be within a two -mile distance of over 500 different businesses. 114] This project also created 295 new jobs. 1141 BVU Opti net continues operate a strong municipal broadband Internet service for Bristol and many other counties in Virginia. In an effort to support U.S. federal government agencies attempting to deploy broadband services more widely, in a 2009 report the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation detailed cost estimates of providing "fiber optic connectivity to anchor institutions" in the United States. The institutions considered in the report were public schools, public libraries, hospitals and community colleges, with an estimated total cost ofUSD 5--10 billion. On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act became law in an effort to build the economy, assist in job creation and retention, and improve U.S. infrastructure. It allocated $4.7 billion to establish a Broadband Technology Opportunities Program as part of the National Telecommunications and Information Agency State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program. A portion of funding awards were allocated to extend and develop broadband services to reach rural and "underserved areas" as well as to improve broadband access for public safety agencies. According to the Muni Wireless website, In February 2010, the NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration) awarded a $126.3 million grant to the Executive Office of the State of West Virginia to improve the state's broadband structure. That grant was part of the federal government's overall broadband stimulus to certain areas of the United States. With 2,400 miles of fiber, it is planned to improve the area's broadband connectivity and increase its overall speed in places like schools, government offices, public libraries, etc. See Internet in the United Stater #Implementing a National Broadband Policy 17 111 11 11 1Y 11 1 11 R I .. . _ .

I believe that by holding parents and students account the tide of absenteeism can be stemmed. To that end I also wanted to suggest to you sir that you consider utilizing truant officers and issuing a citation to students who are absent from school and found to be on the street or on an otherwise unauthorized absence. There are many school district in the country that do this, for example, the Los Angeles School Police cite students who are absent or tardy and found loitering around on the streets or at the mall. I think that this in conjunction: with your idea of a speciality court will not only reduce tardiness and absenteeism but will also send a message that the. City is serious about the education of young people. Education is the key to breaking the endless cycle of welfare and incarceration that have plagued people, especially minorities. It is imperative that a solution be found to this growing .problem, we must show chidden and young adults that it is not cool to skip class, or show up late to school. Young people are not capable of seeing the long term ramifications of not getting an education and are often handicapped for the rest of their lives for poor decisions that they made as teenagers. Mr. Councilman I implore you to do your very best to make your idea of a speciality court a reality, it will greatly benefit the residents of Buffalo and provide tangible repercussions for both students and parents who do not care enough to take advantage of the excellent free education that is so graciously offered to them. I am not familiar with truant officers in NYS and don't know exactly what their authority is, and internet research was rather vague. But I would also like to suggest sir that the school district find the funding to hire more truant officer to aggressively target students and parents who are having a difficulty getting either themselves or their child to school. I also think that truant officers be conferred NYS peace officer status to give them the authority they.so desperately need to better 1 enforce NYS education laws and enforce school policy. Citations for absenteeism can be very.effective, � especially if the have a monetary fine attached which could generate revenue for our criminally underfunded school, and that revenue can be used to educate those who attend. Mr. Councilman education is the cornerstone of our society and we must work together to ensure that all children receive that education.. Students who are chronically absent or late often dropout or do not graduate in time, when that happens the odds of them actually attending college or university drop like a rock in water. I hope that we can turn around Buffalo public schools, I think they have a lotto offer and provide the tools needed to break the chains of poverty and incarceration. Mr. Councilman please continue proposing bold new ideas, continue to speak your mind, and always make sure your voice heard there are people out there, like rnyself.who applaud your courage and conviction sir. I would be very happy to take the time to volunteer assisting you with this mater, or volunteering in your officer or take the time to speak with on this matter and hope to hear back from you. Thank you very much for your time sir and thank you for reading this email l know you are a very busy man and you time is valuable. Thank you for your service, Dan Adamczyk 716 -704 REFERRED T 0 THE . COMMITI ON E DUCATION Off AERIE T COUNTY OF ERIE MARK C. POLONC COUNTY EXECUTIVE March 26, 2012 Mr. Gerald Chwalinski Buffalo City Cleric City of Buffalo 65 Niagara Square, Room 1300 Buffalo, NY 14202 I -: Downtown Entertainment Review District, ZR42m178 Dear Mr. Chwalinski: Thank you for submitting the proposed revision to the City of Buffalo Zoning Code relative to the Downtown Entertainment Review District. The information was received by this office on March 21, 2012 for review pursuant to Section 239M of the New York State General Municipal Law. It has been determined that the zoning change will not adversely affect County property located within or near the district boundary nor will it adversely impact other regional interests in or near the new district. The primary County planning document which addresses the area subject to the Entertainment District regulations is the Eric and Niagara Counties Framework for Regional Growth It was prepared in 2006 and identifies downtown Buffalo as a regional center for business, employment, and entertainment activities. The proposed revisions to the district will assist in carrying out this goal. Finally, in order to fully realize the intent of the legislative action it is recommended that after an appropriate interval, City officials carefully review provisions within the ordinance which waive the age restrictions on Thursdays of each week. Such an exception may reintroduce many of the problems the zoning action seeks to remedy. Should this prove to be the case, the City may wish to extend the commingling restrictions to seven days per week. In the event you have any questions regarding this review please contact Erie County Planner Mark Rountree at 858 -8008. Very truly yours, f f °miles j �� f MARIA R.

March 15, 2012 Transfer of Funds /J f) k RESOLUTION Sponsor: Darius G. Pridgen Subject: Illegally Placed Advertising Signs Whereas: Recently, many constituents have been complaining about signs being posted throughout the city advertising the sale of furniture. The signs appear to be handwritten and only include information about the merchandise being advertised and a phone number, however, the signs do -rot identify the business that they are associated with; and Whereas: These signs have become visual clutter, sidewalk obstructions and are not removed upon being damaged, weathered, or blown out of the ground. Furthermore, signs have been found in many streets, creating a potential threat to motorists and cyclists; and Whereas: The signs are being placed on public property without permission from the Common Council or the Department of Permit and Inspection Services; and Whereas: The public has the right to the free use of streets and sidewalks which are not only free from physical obstructions but which also appear aesthetically pleasing. The numerous brightly colored. signs being placed on City property are eyesores which diminish the quality and appearance of each citizen's environment; and Whereas: According to § 387 -25 of the City of Buffalo Charter "No person shall place, attach or maintain any sign of any nature on any property belonging to the City of Buffalo without first obtaining the consent of the City of Buffalo in the form of a permit, lease, contract, specific authorizing resolution of the Common Council or as otherwise provided in this chapter "; and Whereas: The City of Buffalo, and especially this Common Council supports businesses that advertise in accordance with City laws and acquire the proper permits and licenses. Now, Therefore be it Resolved: That the Common Council is hereby on record in its opposition to businesses that advertise unlawfully in the City of Buffalo; and Be it Further Resolved: That the Common. Council hereby directs the City of Buffalo Department of Permit and Inspection Services to take action against any business that unlawfully places signage on City property or otherwise advertises illegally within the City of Buffalo; and f! Be it Finally Resolved: That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the City of Buffalo Department of Permit and Inspection Services, the Buffalo Police Department, the Department of Public Works, Parks, and Streets and the City of Buffalo Corporation Counsel.

Rivera Ellicott District Council Member ADOPTED Niagara District Council Member V 9 RESOLUTION Date: March 26, 2012 Sponsor: Darius G. Pridgen Subject: License for Businesses Operating Out of Motor Vehicles Whereas: "Vehicle" used hereafter is defined as a car, motorcycle, truck, SW, van, or other motorized automobile not mentioned herein which also utilizes public parking spaces, without proper licenses or permits by the City of Buffalo or State of New York for conducting sales of any kind. It does not refer_ to automobiles which merely deliver goods on behalf of a company; and Whereas: "Mobile business" is defined as a business that does not operate from a permanent structure and remains at a location including, but not limited to, public streets, sidewalks, alleys, or other public ways of the City, for a maximum of the legal parking time in that location, before moving to another location. Also, this excludes seasonal businesses which are currently in legal operation; and Whereas: The City of Buffalo has seen the growth of businesses operated from motor vehicles, whether lawfully permitted or not by the City of Buffalo, such as, but not limited to: food trucks, food stands, Christmas tree stands, fruit, flower or vegetable vendors, bail bondsmen, appliances /electronics, and clothing merchants; and Whereas: Except for recent amendments to mobile food truck legislation, the City of Buffalo does not currently issue licenses or permits to any person or organization who desires to conduct commercial business directly out of their vehicle; and Whereas: Several other cities similar to the City of Buffalo do not have any law on record allowing persons or corporations to conduct business out of a vehicle, thus labeled as "mobile businesses "; and Whereas: Benefits of the proposed legislation to regulate mobile businesses would include: I.

Regulations for mobile businesses not already regulated by statute; and Whereas: Further discussion will be held as to the permissions and restrictions of location and manner of business for mobile vendors; Nov, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That the City of Buffalo Common Council calls upon Corporation Counsel to research the creation of laws to regulate mobile or transient businesses, that they be registered with the City of Buffalo; be issued and carry a Mobile Business License and/or Permit, and be restricted from holding parking spaces for more than the maximum allotted tune, in order that spaces may be used by residents and visitors.

This resolution seeks to designate People United For Sustainable Housing ( "PUSH ") as the developer for three city owned properties, 99 Chenango, 335 Massachusetts, and 339 Massachusetts. Whereas, PUSH is currently securing funding for its Massachusetts Avenue Sustainable Neighborhoods Project. This project involves the development of 5 units of high quality affordable rental housing units on the West Side. Whereas, Three of the five units (60 %) will be affordable for households with incomes below 50% of the area median and two of the units (40%) will be affordable for households with incomes below 60% of the area median. It is projected that household sizes will range from two persons to six persons. While not limited to any special needs population, the units will be open to all income eligible households, including those with special needs. Whereas, Consistent with the Green Development Zone created by PUSH, the units will incorporate green and energy efficient materials and systems.

The house was completed at the end of last year and is now occupied. Now Therefore Be It Resolved "that, this Honorable Body recognizes PUSH as the developer and site operator on three city -owned properties, 99 Chenango, 335 Massachusetts, and 339 Massachusetts; and we look forward to the continued value PUSH brings to the West Side and the City of Buffalo as a conscientious housing developer.
