The Buffalo Arts Commission ( "Commission ") herewith submits funding recommendations for City fiscal year 2012 -2013. The Commission transmits these recommendations to the Administration and the Common Council pursuant to the City Code in place of the inactivated Arts and Cultural Funding Advisory Committee. ( "Committee "). We respectfully recommend funding for the city's over 50 cultural organizations in the amount of $200,000.00. These funds are to be distributed by the. Commission through an application Process similar to what was .done in the past by the Committee, and with approval by the Administration and the Common Council. We know that the City's budget requires the approval of the Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority. We recognize the financiol challenges facing the City; however, we make these recommendations based on the City's support in previous years (the City's contribution to Give fur Greatness in 2011 -2012 was the first such commitment to the arts since 2001!) and in light of the serious cuts experienced by the cultural groups in the past. As the City gains financial stability, we recognize the responsibility to share this stability with our arts and cultural organizations. 65 Niagara Square / 2001 CITY HALT. l BUFFALO, NY 14202 / 716.0 L5027 www.city- buffilo.com i Although the City Code allows funding for grant -in -aid to approved agencies of up to three (3 %) percent of the approved tax levy for the fiscal year in effect at the time of the newly adopted budget, our appropriation for the culturals alone is no more than five- tenths of one (.5 %) percent! In recognition of the contributions made by the arts organizations to building a better Buffalo, we urge you to honor our recommendation. We request, the City provide an operating budget for Commission in the amount of $20,000. This City office has operated without the benefit of operational funds that would enhance services given to our cultural community. We believe these funds are necessary in order to continue the high level of service to Buffalo's cultural community including for updating the inventory /catalog of the city's collection of public art and therefore ash the City to support this request. Considering the economic impact the arts have on the well being of our city, we urge you to honor our funding request. We welcome the opportunity to discuss these recommendations with the Mayor, the Common Council, the Commissioner or anyone you might so designate.

The following sites are recommended for deletion for the noted reasons. Site 1 — site has been vacant for several years does not have adequate pedestrian traffic to support vending. Site 7 — site has been vacant for years, does not have adequate pedestrian traffic to support vending. Site 8 — site has been vacant for years, is being moved across Main Street to a more active pedestrian location. Site 9 - site has been vacant for years, is being moved across Main Street to a more active pedestrian location. Site 28 — site has been vacant for years, there are now restaurant /food tenants in adjacent buildings putting the site in conflict with vending program management goals. Site 34 — site has been vacant for years, does not have adequate pedestrian traffic to support vending. 671 Main Street / Buffalo, New York 14203 / 716 -856 -3150 / Fax: 716- 852 -8490 / www.buffaloplace.com We ' r e Dow m o w n! Site 45 — site has been vacant for years, proposed building reuse in area would.necessitate eliminating site. Site 61 — site has not been renewed by current vendor. One adjacent property is slated to be takeout food business, and another is expected to be retail or food. Site would be incompatible with these uses. No options exist for relocation. Sites D8, D9, D 11, D 12, D 14, DI 5, D17, D23, D24, D26, D27 — these daily non -food sites in the Theatre District, and around First Niagara Center and Coca -Cola Field are seldom if ever used and will be adversely impacted by future development in the Theatre District and around the Webster Block in front of the First Niagara Center. Site D20 - site never used, does not have adequate pedestrian traffic to support vending. The following sites are recommended for addition to the plaster list of sites in the Downtown Special Vending District. Site 62 — would be an equivalent to deleted Site 9, but in a better location due to pedestrian volume and adjacent uses. Site 63 — would be an equivalent to deleted Site 8, but in a better location due to pedestrian volume and adjacent uses. Site 64 — would create a new site in a high pedestrian volume location.

Regional Water Engineer New York State DEC Region 9 270 Michigan Avenue Buffalo, New York 14203 -2915 Douglas McKenna, Chief Water Compliance Branch OECA USEPA, Region 2 290 Broadway, 20 Floor New York, NY 10007 -1866 5F, \Y A S GPA Pn.iF O � �fls'JY Joseph DiMura, P.E. Director, Bureau of Water Compliance Programs Division of Water New York State DEC 625 Broadway Albany, New York 12233 -3506 Dear Messrs, Konsella, McKenna, and D!Mura: As required by USEPA's recent Administrative Order ( "AO "), enclosed is the Buffalo Sewer Authority's 2012 Combined Sewer Overflow Long -Term Control Plan ( "LTCP "), The BSA has made extraordinary efforts over the past six weeks to pull the LTCP together in order to Meet the April 30 deadline in USEPA's AO. Given the AO deadline, we. are compelled to submit the LTCP without the benefit of final. public input through a 30 -day. public comment period. That public comment period is starting immediately and will run through the end of May: We were also unable to complete the State - mandated SEQRA process, Acco rd.i this submittal is expressly subject to BSA's right to revise and resubmit the LTCP based upon the public input that we. may receive on the LTCP and through the final SEQRA review process. The LTCP is available to you on a secure FTP site through Malcolm Pirnie /ARCADIS. Each of you should have received an email with information about how to access the LTCP at this FTP location. Please contact Ms. Lisa Derrigan ( Lisa.Derrigan(a arcadis- us.com if you have any problems with the electronic access. In addition, the LTCP is available at www,bsacsolm prove ments ; o.rg, The BSA's recommended plan will be implemented over a 19 -year period, with an estimated cost of $340 million. This program will result in 97.4 percent capture for treatment of wet weather flows entering the sewer system. This high level of control significantly exceeds the:presumptive approach for percent capture in the National CSO Policy, Even though that alone satisfies :applicable regulatory Messrs. Konsella, DiMura, and McKenna Page 2 requirements, the recommended plan is also expected to meet the frequency of activation presumptive level of control (except for the Niagara River -- which already meets water quality standards under the existing conditions baseline scenario short of any additional level of activation control) in the Policy. Moreover, the recommended plan is expected to demonstrate 100% compliance with NYS water quality standards for bacteria in all receiving water bodies (with modest improvements to be made by upstream sources). Finally, the recommended plan features a significant green infrastructure component, which is strongly supported by BSA, our community panel, and key stakeholders. This program proposes a mix of tried - and -true gray solutions along with more innovative green and emerging technology solutions (such as real time controls) that will be evaluated and then integrated across our system based upon the results of the initial investigations. Getting the full benefit of our green solutions program is one of the key drivers of our 19 -year schedule. It goes without saying that $340 million dollars (on top of all the other spending we will have to run our sewer system) is an extraordinary commitment for the BSA. Pursuant to the AO, we have included a 15 -year plan that still exceeds the presumptive approach within the CSO.Policy, albeit with a lesser green program tailored to fit the 15 -year implementation period. While BSA has developed this program pursuant to EPA's order, it is not our recommended plan and we expressly reserve the right to challenge EPA's denial of the 19 -year recommended plan. We anticipate submitting the final LTCP by the end of June, 2012 and that submission is expected to reflect any revisions warranted by public input and the final SEQRA review process. This assumes we do not get any substantial comments during the public comment period that require additional technical analyses. The BSA has planned three neighborhood based public meetings in mid -May to solicit public comments, as well as to make the LTCP available on the BSA's website and other public offices for public review. We will notify you of a final submittal date once we review any comments that we receive on the LTCP and assuming BSA determines a negative declaration under the SEQRA process. I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.' 1 This certification is taken from 40 CFR Part 122.22(d). It is slightly different from that in the Adminlstrative Order. We assume the departure by the Order from the regulation was inadvertent and wanted to ensure we provided the legally required certification language. Messrs.

I have been a life long resident of the South District. I retired from the Federal Government in 2007 after serving 33 years and would welcome the opportunity to give back to the community by representing the people whom I have resided with for most of my adult life. I feel that my experience would allow me to effectively represent the peoples of the South District. Prior to entering government service, I worked a variety of jobs while going to school in the Buffalo area. These jobs included summer positions with the City of Buffalo in the Streets Department, Iron Worker, Avis Rent A Car, and maintenance worker at Mt. Calvary Cemetery as well as a delivery person for a local florist. Immediately preceding entrance into the Border Patrol, I worked for approximately 2 years as a truck driver/ deliveryman for Wickes Lumber in Orchard Park, NY. I have been involved with the community in the form of memberships in community organizations as well as coaching local youth baseball and hockey teams for years until health problems caused me to give these up. Some of the local organizations, I am involved with are current active memberships in Goin South and the Police Emerald Society of Buffalo. I have been involved with budgetary processes as outlined in the attached resume and am comfortable with the demands and pressures of this process. I believe that I can bring an unbiased enthusiasm to this position and adequately represent the people of the South District as well as all the peoples of Buffalo. In closing I would like to thank you for your time and consideration in this process. Respectfully yours, 52""' J"�� James J. Creahan 96 Shenandoah Rd.

We continue to overcome the challenges presented to us by the customer information data base. We've seen significant improvement in customer service, billing and collection performance during this quarter. The metering program is on track and delivering exceptional results in a relatively short period of time. By identifying and inactivating the vacant buildings and razed properties, we'll see significant improvement in performance reporting. The transition in the plant to administered asset management will continue over time and reduce reactive measures. Planning, training and preventive maintenance program adherence will ensure a more efficient workforce as well as improved equipment performance. Safety of course, remains paramount. During the past three months there were one slip and fall that resulted in one.day of lost time. And there was one motor vehicle accident resulting in lost time. The City vehicle was struck from behind while stopped at a traffic light. Housekeeping is also critical to maintaining a safer work place. Significant improvement. is seen throughout the plant. A mild winter season resulted in fewer main breaks, enabling resources to perform maintenance work including valve and hydrant renewal. We've continued to introduce new technology in equipment and parts to improve proficiency in the workplace. CUSTOMER SERVICES VWNA hosted two business infrastructure briefings at Exchange St. with various members of City departments, including representatives from Taxes, Accounting and Engineering as well as Representatives from the Buffalo Sewer Authority and Water Board, to work together to develop and document business process decisions and rules. Three sessions were held with Accounting as we reviewed and worked through past reporting challenges. Adjustment codes were also identified, documented and mapped to the general ledger. This has been delivered to City of Buffalo Accounting for final review and refinement if necessary. As we defined rules, we were able to reduce the number of adjustment codes. This will assure greater accountability moving forward. Training has also been developed based on the new rules and is . being phased in to allow employees time to understand and adjust to the new business rules. VWNA installed a computer in the tax office with all reports made available in folders on a shared drive. Another was installed in the tax office. VWNA is working directly with the tax office and a third party vendor to develop software to programmatically transfer data files between inHance and SIRF. We are also determining the feasibility of developing an interface between inHance and RPS. Page 1of5 Veolia Water NA 7th Quarterly Report 4/30/2012 V \� METER READING and MAINTENANCE The meter repair program is producing good results. During the past three months 1,793 meters were repaired, replaced or installed. VWNA is currently managing all aspects of the meter program. Training, equipment and parts technologies coupled with strong supervision are commensurate with the measurable overall improvement in the general meter population. VWNA has also begun testing the meter population at the Houston,Texas facility. Select meters have been shipped for analysis. This will continue until such time sufficient data is available to provide a comprehensive analysis for City Engineering and Board review. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM The staff is becoming more adept in the use of 1nfoNet. The mobile application is being introduced slowly to the employees. Veolla acquired ten laptops to be mounted in trucks.: As employee skills develop, we'll have transformed the process of accessing and updating field information. The Biel's project is underway. Field maps and prints are scanned and added to assets in the InfoNet program. Meetings continue with the BFD. As a result of the first six meetings, updates to their operating manual have been completed and implemented. Our next meeting will include the Erie County Health Department as we have developed a good line of communication and both parties are ready to present options to further improve communication between the BFD and BWA. We will add a fourth color to the BWA hydrant inventory. This will be used to identify hydrants that are on 10" and 12" diameter water mains. The purpose is to provide easy recognition of higher capacity hydrants. We are currently performing a pilot using reflective paint on hydrants. This test will determine if nighttime color recognition is improved. PLANT OPERATION The OWAM asset management program has elevated plant maintenance to a new level. Assets are all identified. Preventive maintenance SOP's and PM's continue to evolve to clearly identify each step in the maintenance process relative to each specific asset. We've personal protective equipment requirements and are developing parts lists with each work order. The mechanical upgrades and housekeeping initiatives to the Mass. Station are nearly completed. There were numerous health and safety issues that were resolved as well. The lab equipment is being updated. And, the Endotek pilot is beginning the final phase of testing. Page 2of5 Veolia Water NA 7th Quarterly Report 4/30/2012 1 `1 STAFFING Current: 100 employees. Target: 117 IN SUMMARY Delinquency processing is fully automated. Delinquency notices are sent 35 days after the initial bill date if payment has not been received. We moved this from 30 days to 35 days because the City does not permit on -line lockbox exception processing, which can result in posting delays. The mailing of delinquent or past due notices is no longer a manual or subjective process. Each night an update runs and generates a print file which is forwarded to. the print I mail service provider. The notices are mailed in invoice format with return envelopes included. After 60 days a door tag notice is programmatically generated and sent in daily batches to Porter Avenue. This process has also been automated by Veolia. This is no longer a manual or subjective process. After seventy five days, work orders are generated to shut off service at delinquent properties. This part of the process is also fully automated with zero subjectivity. Work orders are printed at Porter Avenue and assigned to personnel to perform shut offs..For this period, service was suspended for 1,275 accounts.

Robert Corsi, of Chase Towing, also said he has been told Corddaryl Henley was threatened by another tow -truck operator with a gun the night before he was killed. Corsi described what he said are typical circumstances in Buffalo, where tow -truck companies race to the crash scene after hearing a report over a police scanner. It's not unusual for some drivers to threaten other drivers with weapons, Corsi said, adding that he has been threatened with a knife at a scene. "It happens all the time with these guys," Corsi said. "It's like fighting for their food out there." Corsi said that in most other municipalities, towing companies are put on call for a week, with several companies rotating the duty of responding to scenes. In the City of Buffalo, however; it's first come, first served. "It's insane," he said. Buffalo police have not said anything about a potential motive in the case'. Mike Norris, the owner of Patriarch Towing, where Henley worked at the time of his death, acknowledges the competition between. drivers at scenes, but he said it's usually verbal in nature. The towing company that ends up with the business from a scene usually depends on whom the car owner selects, as well as input from the police, Norris said. Because there are multiple companies competing, it can come down to which driver offers a better deal to the customer, he said. ".`Everybody obviously wants the wreck," Norris said. "Everybody obviously wants to get paid to feed their family." Henley, 25, was shot shortly before 1:40 p.m. Saturday at Walden Avenue and Latour Street, just east of Martin Luther King Park, after dropping off a vehicle at Latour Auto, police said, Henley was still inside his truck when a gunman fired multiple shots at him from a silver or gray vehicle. Henley's truck crashed into the front porch of a Walden Avenuehome, after striking a parked car, fire hydrant and another vehicle traveling westbound on Walden. Henley was a married father of six and a hard worker, said Corsi, Henley's boss up until about three months ago. Norris described Henley as a family man and a dedicated, hardworking employee who loved what he did and who taught hint a lot about the towing industry. http:// www. buffalonews. com/ city / communities /buffalo /article846896.cce 5/9/2012 Towing procedures blamed for death City of Buffalo - The Buffalo News "He will forever be remembered at this company," said Norris, who founded Patriarch Towing about four months, ago and who responds to scenes as a truck operator. After six to eight months in the towing business, Chase Towing is likely moving out of responding to crash scenes because of the danger for employees, Corsi said. The situation could be remedied, he said, if the city followed a different process for using towing companies at crash scenes. "It's such an easy fix," he said. North Council Member Joseph Golombek Jr. said the city does have a law on the books, from May 2ooi, that requires tow -truck operators to be licensed and that says only licensed operators can be called to scenes. Apparently the legislation's requirements have never been followed, Golombek said, in part because towing from crash scenes is not a lucrative business in the city. There are few serious accidents, he said, and many drivers prefer to call their own tow trucks. . "I have heard horror stories" about crash scenes, Golombek said, where tow -truck drivers "start yelling and screaming at each other." The lawmaker said he plans to review what's.required in the ordinance.. City Corporation Counsel Tim Ball said Monday night that the Police Department is empowered to establish tow zones designed to ensure the best towing coverage, dispatch efficiency, response time and convenience for drivers claiming their. vehicles. It not clear late Monday whether police have established such zones. "Once a zone is established, only the tower assigned to the zone will be allowed to tow vehicles in the zone," Ball said. Ball said authorized city towers are to be dispatched from a Iist designated for that zone on a rotational basis, but the police department will determine at the crash scene whether a tower is qualified.

Richard Fontana, President Hon Demone Smith, Majority Leader Buffalo Common Council 13 Floor, City Hall Buffalo, NY 1+202 President Fontana and Majority Leader Smith, COL - 7 0 yw - P'01 Thank you for your interest In the impact City of Buffalo funding had on the cultural community in 2011, and for allowing me to present a request for arts funding in the 2012 -13 budget. The proposal contains two items: Fun=. . I respectfully request that the Buffalo Common Council appropriate $25,000 per member for a total of $225,000. The hope Is that Mayor Brown would once again provide a match, for a total of $450,000, While still far short of historical funding levels, this amount provides a meaningful investment in the cultural sector while being respectful of the city's continued Fiscal challenges. Also, by making this request as part of the budget review and amendment process, it is hoped funding can be found without burdening the Council's district investments. Pro es : As I mentioned in my testimony in Council Chambers recently, the allocations and amounts made in 2011 were based on loss of county funding and other factors. As such, it would not be equitable to renew funding using the same formula. Additionally, other organizations should have an opportunity for consideration. Therefore, I'd recommend a process for taking and reviewing applications for funding be established and the City of Buffalo Arts Commission be used as a mechanism for accomplishing this. Review and recommendation of city arts funding Is a duty the Arts Commission has successfully completed in the past and could do once again.. My organization also stands ready to assist in any way requested; as you may know, I personally served on the Arts Commission and its Arts Funding Review Committee and have also established and executed many grant programs including one currently for the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation. There are also tools available such as the Cultural Data Project that can make the application process easy for both the applicant and reviewer. Again, thank you for your investment in the arts and your interest in continuing that Investment. I look forward to working with you on this and anything else on which I can be of service.

The county expects the following firms, Harris & Harris, Goggan Blair & Sampson, Municipal Services Bureau and Penn Credit Corp., to bring at least $2 million by using the private firms. . According to AJC.com, the county is trying to avoid a tax hike and sees this effort as a means of increasing revenue. With. concerns about the debt collectors abusing citizen information in other parts of the country, the county's Magistrate Court'has insisted that all the firms send letters giving defendants at least 10 business days to either pay a fine or receive a new court date, with any late fees being waived. Part of the reasoning for the county's extra protection for debt holders is the Fair Dent Collection Practices Act doesn't cover government penalties, whereas for consumers owing a company past due funds, they would be protected. The FDCPA doesn't allow debt collection agencies to call past 9 PM, use abusive language or seek funds using false identities. Nearby Cobb County resorts to suspending licenses for unpaid traffic tickets. They have found that to be an effective means of receiving past due fines. http: l /www.efficientgov.com/fulton- county /county- debt - collection- outsourced 5/9/2012 Da® "C) 5;a MEMORANDUM TO: FROM DATE: 1� : Gerald Chwalinski Council Member Darius G.

Collectively, we would like to thank you for your continual support of Erie County veterans and of our annual Active Veteran's Parade (A.VP). As you know, the 2011 AVP was' held at Delaware Park, a location that presented drawbacks for both parade organizers and parade goers. Therefore, after much consideration, our combined committee has decided to return this year's November I& AVP to its original Delaware Avenue location (between North Street and Niagara Square) and we are asking for your help. Councilman, we would like to request your support and guidance in obtaining all city permits for the parade, without delay or cost. While we understand that city policies exist for all, we are hoping that our dedicated purpose of honoring active Erie County service men and women will allow special consideration for this event. It is our committee's sincere belief that by staging the 2012 Active Veteran's Parade on Delaware. Avenue, it will once again become a significant tribute for those who have served, and continue to serve, in the defense of our community and our nation.

Demone Smith Majority Leader Masten District Council Member DAS:nmf REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINA 60 Cities Using Deposits to Gain Leverage Over Banks POSTED BY RYAN HOLEYWELL I MAY 2, 2012 Cities across the country are trying to send a message to financial institutions: if you want our business, you've got to play ball. Since 2010 Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, among others, have all considered or passed laws known as "responsible banking ordinances" designed to encourage banks to increase their lending and other services to the city's residents, particularly those in low- income communities. The laws work like this: in order to be considered for a city contract, banks must submit detailed plans outlining their goals that address the volume of home loans and small. business loans they'll make in the city, particularly in low- and moderate - income areas that historically haven't been targeted for investment. They also must describe what they're doing to address the credit needs of low- and moderate- income residents. The banks would then be required to report their actual performance to the cities. City staff would evaluate each bank's goals against its track record, make the information public, and take it into account when deciding which financial institutions are awarded city business. "[I]f they do not reach their goals, there should be some type of repercussion for that," says Tony Young, president of the San Diego City Council, who intends to introduce a responsible banking ordinance Within about six weeks. City leaders who advocate for the ordinances say they're trying to build upon the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), a 1977 law that ended that was designed to encourage banks to address the banking needs of low- and moderate - income Americans and reduce the. practice of redlining. , Banks report lending data to federal regulators, who take a bank's CRA record into consideration when deciding whether to approve a bank's plans for expansion. But that law examines banks from a national perspective. City leaders .want to make sure banks are serving their residents and they think creating their own. laws is a way to do that. Since governments make billions of dollars in deposits at banks, they believe they have some leverage. They hope banks will compete to have the best community reinvestment record in order to get those depository contracts. The movement has gained steam in part due to occupy Wall Street protests, says Rose Zitiello, manager of banking relations for the city of Cleveland, which is believed to be the first major American city to craft a responsible banking ordinance. The city's 1991 law is the basis of many of the ordinances being considered by cities today. In Cleveland, a bank isn't eligible for a contract unless its four -year responsible banking plan is approved by the city's director of community development. When bidding on a T O contract, the bank's record is taken into consideration. Banks are awarded points based on factors like how close they came to meeting various lending and investing goals, how many branches they opened in low- and moderate - income neighborhoods, and how many minorities and women they employ in executive positions. Zitiello says the ordinance has been around so long that it's become a collaborative . process between the city and the private sector after some pushback from the banking community at the onset. "Any time you introduce something that goes against the status quo, it gets resistance," she says. "At this point, we're not experiencing that." But the banking community is resisting some of the changes being proposed in cities nationwide. David Floreen, senior vice president at the Massachusetts Bankers Association, said at a 2010 hearing that Boston's proposed responsible banking ordinance is "a solution looking for a problem." At the hearing, he said small and large banks alike believed it would be too costly to implement the new reporting requirements. He said most banks "would probably take a pass" and give up on city business altogether rather than comply with the new rules. Young, of San Diego, says he's meeting with local banking officials before introducing his legislation. He believes doing so will help set the proper tone for the forthcoming debate about the legislation. But. he believes it is indeed appropriate for the city to use its leverage to try to force certain actions by the banks. If they don't agree, Young says, they "can conduct their business elsewhere." Some industry officials say that's exactly what they intend to do. The California Bankers Association is opposing the ordinance making its way through Los Angeles. The city council recently voted unanimously to have the city staff draft the language for a responsible banking ordinance. Leland Chan, general counsel for the California Bankers Association, said in a recent letter to city officials that the type of granular information the city is seeking "may raise privacy concerns." Like Floreen, Chan also suggested that burdensome rules could reduce the number of financial institution interested in doing business with the city. Los Angeles City Councilmember Richard Alarcon, who's behind his city's ordinance, calls that argument "hogwash. " "We have $30 billion in assets," he says. The city has about 40 to 50 contracts with financial institutions that involve everything from deposits to bond deals to letters of credit. That, he believes, gives the city leverage. "I doubt financial institutions are going to turn their backs on those assets." The deals also could represent something of a power shift for municipalities, who in recent years, have been duped by financial institutions like UBS, Wachovia, and subsidiaries of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, all of whom faced federal charges in connection to various bid rigging schemes involving municipal security deals. "It boils down to caveat emptor," Alarcon continues. "A purchaser of services and goods should be well- informed about who they're doing business with. If banks have a problem with that, I think we as a society should be scrutinizing them very closely." Boston City Councilmember Felix Arroyo, who's leading the effort for a responsible banking ordinance in his city, notes that banks aren't being told how much they should invest and lend; rather, they're being compared against one another. "This is not anti- capitalist," says Arroyo. "As a consumer, I'm going to compare the products, and I'm going to pick the product that's best for the city." In Pittsburgh, Boston and elsewhere, lawmakers have met early on with financial , institutions to get feedback in order to avoid crafting a law so onerous that banks would avoid city business altogether. One of the biggest challenging in crafting the law was to convince banks to give up some data that they may consider to be a trade secret, says Matthew Barron, policy director for Councilman William Peduto, the original sponsor of a responsible banking ordinance ultimately approved by Pittsburgh this spring. But he says the city isn't asking for anything that banks don't already report to federal regulators; rather, it's only seeking the same data for the local level. He says lawmakers' ultimate goal was to work with banks to crate low -cost financial products for residents who currently don't use banks, and to ensure that those products would be tailored to people who don't have high levels of financial literacy. Meanwhile, Cleveland's ordinance appears to be showing results 20 years after it was passed. The city's percentage of under- banked and un- banked residents is less than the national average, and even though banks have been closing across the country in recent years, the number of branches among the seven banks that have depository contracts with Cleveland has remained stable. "Everybody is putting in a good faith effort to do the best they can," Zitiello says. "Their goal is obviously to be profitable. Our goal is to maximize their lending and investing." i � sk 7 ' � Is education a civil right? From: FreeAdvice.com - http: // law. freeadvice. com /government_law /civil_rights_ law ada /education- civ[l_rfght.htm Technically speaking, education is not a recognized civil right. However, since the famous 1954 case of Brown v. The Board of Education, it has been illegal for public schools to discriminate on the basis ofrace. It is also illegal for a public school district to be segregated as a result of intentional practices, such as the drawing of school district boundaries around exclusively single- race areas (a practice known as de jute segregation). These facts lend themselves to the . argument that education is a civil right, or that education can be considered a de facto civil right. Civil rights laws are primarily concerned with issues of discrimination. As such, civil rights are not enshrined in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. They are not even constructs or conceptual.paradigms from which other principles are derived. Civil rights are simply created by acts of Congress. The Civil Rights law of 1957, primarily a voting rights bill, established that voting rights were to be considered a civil right. Similarly, the civil rights movement of the 1960s was a fight to guarantee civil protections for all members of society, but this movement did not address education in particular. On the federal level, discrimination in any number of areas is illegal if it is based on any of several protected characteristics, such as sex, age, disability, religious affiliation, marital status, race and color. These categories were enshrined into law by civil rights acts, but none of them specifically addresses education. The U.S. Supreme Court tended to support this viewpoint in its very controversial decision in the 2007 case, Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. Asking families and children to put up with mediocre schools is almost criminal. It is just that simple. Keeping the families of our poor and minority kids shackled to dropout factories and failure mills should most certainly be against the law. When defenders of the status quo say that families should not have a wide array of educational options available — be they traditional districts, public charters, private and parochial schools, or even online learning — they are essentially arguing that there should be no civil right to a high quality education. That argument is absolutely wrong on every moral and intellectual level. Poor and minority families should not have to wait for these dropout factories to either shut down or be overhauled. Neither should middle -class families or anyone else. What these families deserve is the option to escape. They deserve school choice. The reality is that the traditional model of public education — school district bureaucracies, zoned schools and local control — is not only antiquated (if it ever worked at all), it also denies our poor and minority kids equal opportunities for high- quality education. If education is truly a civil right, then there should be no political restrictions on school choice. Wider array of school choices are always better than fewer and none. And opponents of full choice - a group that can sometimes include centrist Democrat school reformers opposed to vouchers —can't offer strong and convincing arguments to the contrary.

The item is on the Common Council agenda for today, May 1. The Campaign for Greater Buffalo submitted the nomination form for Trico Plant No. 1, and, after a public hearing, the Buffalo Preservation Board, in an unanimous vote, recommended that it be designated an official landmark. Landmarking would guarantee that formal public review take place regarding any changes to the complex, whether rehabilitation, renovation —or even demolition —is . contempl ted. These safeguards currently protect the public interest in our valuable historicstricts and individually listed landmarks.

LIU 0 0 9 -1) 3 -) Resolution Sponsor: Joseph Golombek, Jr. Subject: The City of Buffalo Should Play a Lead Role in Outer Harbor Development Efforts and the NFTA should transfer the land directly to the City of Buffalo Whereas: The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority ("NFTA'), a New York State authority who's membership is appointed by the Governor and is unelected, is currently exploring options for divesting themselves of ownership and control of several key Buffalo Outer Harbor properties; and Whereas: The NFTA's sole focus today remains very much the same as it has since the authority was created, that is to manage our local transportation system. Their mission and expertise.has, by the Authority's own admission, never extended to economic or waterfront development; and Whereas: The last 50 years of inactivity and underutilization. of this prime waterfront . Property bears evidence to the fact that transferring these lands to a state transportation agency was a critical mistake that continues to haunt our City; and Whereas: Many people, including some elected and appointed officials, are now calling for these Outer Harbor lands to be transferred by the NFTA to the Erie County Harbor Development Corporation ( "ECHDC "), another state agency whose leadership is appointed by the governor and does not to answer to the people of this community at the polls; and Whereas: While there is undoubtedly a role for both ECHDC and the State of New York to play in the development of Buffalo's Outer Harbor and other waterfront lands, we must not lose sight of the fact that the City itself has a critical role to play as well; and Whereas: If the last 50 years of Outer Harbor inactivity have demonstrated anything, it is that those who have the most at stake with the development of our waterfront, the people of the City and their elected Mayor and Common Council, cannot afford to sit by passively and hope that others will develop our waterfront for us in a way that will reflect the vision of our City's residents; and Whereas: Mayor Brown recently stated publicly that the City would like to be included.as part of 'any negotiations over the future of Buffalo's Outer Harbor area and that he believes that the City's expertise in leasing the Erie Basin Marina to private developers, its Capital Budgeting ability and the resources and expertise of the City's Department of Public Works and Office of Strategic Planning could be critical to Outer Harbor development. Now, Therefore Be It Resolved: That the Common Council supports the Mayor's desire for the City of Buffalo to take an active role in the development of Buffalo's Outer Harbor and that the land be transferred to the City of Buffalo.
