Also included in the Auction were unsold parcels and properties from previous auctions. On properties acquired the winning bidder is absolved of all prior debts owed to the city however any Federal liens are still in effect. Moreover any existing housing code violations become the responsibility of the new owner. A property owner can be removed from the auction list as late as the day of the auction by becoming current on their arrears, arranging for a court ordered payment plan or entering bankruptcy protection. To participate in the Auction, all bidders must register. There is no charge. Registration can be done in advance online or at the Auction. All bidders sign in the day of the Auction in the lobby of the Convention Center and receive a bid paddle with a number. Auditors noticed that a major improvement to this year's bidder registration process included the use of scan technology. This new enhancement reads the bar codes off of drivers' license and automatically populates most fields in the registration process, resulting in a reduction of input error and an increase in the speed of service. All proceeds from the Auction are applied to past due amounts owed to the City of Buffalo (the "City ") and the County of Erie (the "County "). If the bid amount exceeds the amount owed to the City, the surplus is turned over to the Erie County Comptroller for a period of 5 years. During the 5 year period, lien holders may petition for money owed to them. After the 5 year period, any remaining funds are turned over to the State of New York. Algonquin Studios, who's customized software known as SIRF (System In Rem Foreclosure) provides the infrastructure to manage the Auction. Algonquin technical support personnel are on site during the auction and provide support for post auction activities.

Individuals over -bid on a property when it is first up for auction then do not consummate the sale hoping to obtain the property at a lower price when it is put back up for auction. 171 properties were put up for rebid due to the original bidders not consummating the sale. The average price reduction as a result of this scheme was $3,910 per property. $2,172,500 Original Bid Price $1,503,900 Final Selling Price Difference between Original and Final Price Bid On day three of the live auction, the Director of Treasury, eliminated people from bidding on properties that they had already successfully bid on but never consummated the sale. Individuals who were caught bid scheming were told they would not be able to participate in next year's auction. In another incident, two individuals were escorted out by police officers for increasing the bid amount on a property with no intention of consummating the sale. Each bidder was given multiple chances to own the property by lowering the price to the previous bid however both individuals refused, making it apparent they had no intention of purchasing. 2 Miffi MI ARIT �� sdr � �psr bar u 4 4 , IS .: W IR U Z ij YG =� j : � s .

Past In Rem auctions started with the oldest In Rem number and random tax districts, The first day of the auction included tax districts one through four, the second day districts five through ten and the third day included districts eleven through fourteen. Information gathered from the district results may prove beneficial during the planning stages of future auctions. A decision could be made to put all past low volume districts up for sale on the first day possibly eliminating a "full" day 3 of the auction. An analvsis of the Citv Tax Districts is depicted in the following Graphs: 4 t� Historical Financial Data The following historical data was provided by the In Rem Specialist at the Department of Taxes and Assessment. DOLLAR AMOUNT COLLECTED FROM PROCEEDS OF SALE $6,000,000 $4,000,000 $2,000,000 $0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Recommendations 1. Ban bidders who strategically bid on properties without the intention of consummating the sale by improving the registration software to recognize these individuals and prevent them from registering for future auctions. 2. The second highest bidder for each property should be documented. This would allow that individual to purchase the property if the highest bidder cannot consummate the sale. This would reduce the length of the auction by reducing the number of properties auctioned more than once and would make bid scheming more difficult. 3. Enforce Part 7 of Memorandum of Sale agreement which states the original winning bidder will be held liable for any deficiency between the sum of the first sale and the bid for which it may be sold on the resale, and also for all costs and expenses incurred as a result of the default. This may eliminate bid scheming. 4. A paper shredder or shred bins should be made available at the registration and payment stations. Personal information is gathered at these locations and is not currently shred. This information could be acquired by someone who could misuse this in many ways including identity theft. The cost of a shredder or having a shredding service provide locked bins for the auction is much lower than the potential liability the City could face by not properly disposing of personal information. 5 5. The new use of scanning technology at bidder registration proved beneficial. Scanning more forms of identification, especially for out of state bidders and different countries, should be explored for future auctions. It could further speed up the registration process. 6. A meeting held after last year's In Rem auction identified new technology that would improve the bidder registration process. Use of a self - registration computer Kiosk at the Convention Center was discussed. This self-serve type of terminal would require more rental computers but staffing levels would be reduced. This should be explored further as it could increase efficiency and provide cost savings. This was also recommended in prior In Rem 45 report. 7. Signage stating "Pay Here" should be made visible overhanging at the Memorandum of Sale table. Far too many bidders need direction on where to pay for a property and a visual aid would definitely improve auction flow. Perhaps the auctioneer would not have to pause several times during the live auction informing people on where and how to pay for properties won. This recommendation has been addressed several times in previous reports but due to the cost to purchase this signage it has not been done. 8. Better Communication between the Auctioneer and Collection Officer on when to continue the auction after a payment break. Use of hand gestures and a microphone were used last year and past auctions which can be misconstrued. Relocating the Collection Officer closer to head auction table could resolve this issue. n . #- CITY OF BUFFALO DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENT & TAXATION BYRON W.

However it is not an infallible process. This type of activity can and will continue into the future until such time as we are able to incorporate electronic bidding.

A decision could be made to put all:past low voltimie diaricts up for 99e o tie first day possibly eliminating a "full day 3 of the auction. In Rem 46 was NOT the first time the auction was conducted on a tax district basis. The auction has always been conducted in this fashion. However, the change was that ALL properties in the same district were offered for sale on the same day. For example, in previous years all add - parcels (those properties offered in a previous year) were up for sale first, District by District. After all add -on parcels were offered, the sale reverted to the current year again beginning with District 1 and proceeding District by District. For In Rem 46 we offered everything in District 1 beginning with add - ons and proceeding to the current year. Then started with District 2 in the some manner and continued until completed. Also, and as an example, in the past if a property was on the auction list for tax and sewer on the current list and on the list far user fee as an `add -on' from a previous list, the bidders would be confused as to which day the property would be offered for sale. The new and current method completely eliminates such confusion. This change allowed all interested participants to gauge when they should be in attendance to be in position to bid on a particular parcel they may be interested in. Attempting to offer parcels for sale in some kind of "low volume or high, volume" order would be a statistical and logistical nightmare. It's not on our radar. ��2 ffistor7ical Fi u cial Difts The following- historical data was provided by the In Rem SPeeisiist at the Department. of Taxes a nA &uepakm' L-i f .

The Buffalo Peacemakers Program has raised the consciousness ofthousands of at risk youtk transforming many from active gang members and cziminal offenders, to responsible, respectfi and gairafrxlly employed youth making positive contributions to wrcommunity. Another key success ,factor is its active involvement in the life of each individual youth, and consistent communication with their parents, family, and peers: Outreach and Supnort Outreach and support are at the core of the program's work. 'There is a systematic approach geared toward preventing retaliation when violent crimes take place, When a call comes through to the hotline, the information is dispatched to time appropriate individuals. Peacemakers respond at the scene of the crime, and/or at a meeting with the family of the victim, to find out details of the situation, and learn the victim's associations, background, and airy other pertinent information, to help prevent retaliation. The focus is to understand why a crime or homicide took place, in onderto bring understanding to the family of the victim to help theta to better deal with time trauma Coestaut dialogue With the victim's family members and friends is necessary throughout this process, from beginning to end. This supportive counseling creates the ability to convince the family and those connected to them to not retaliate by taking the law into their own hands, but carry on inpeace for thekloved one and focus on supporting each other through their tragedy. This aspect of the work is crucial to stop the cycle of violence in the community. Related services are also provided in the following ways. Victims' Services: The Peacemakers provide Victims' services byresponding to the €teed of those that have been affected by homicide. Services are extended to both the victims' families and time perpetrators of crime. Services include: *Retaliation prevention after a violent crime occurs *Providing bereavement counseling to victims' family and friends *Connecting victims' families to the Crime Victims Assistance Program to access needed services. —1 Funeral and SurialAssistance: As Peacemakers rely f t r k: i� p, purt the - y n their network of partici U - er�stue that the victim is buried with. di P ;ea P,_ors dnd ebw`ahes, in order to gnity: :Ices tg i` i :te�si , resultin .from dea - Partner organizations such as the 'Sto the V ` F " ; ` g. - _ the tuner p �oleace'o °m3e a �nonor and for families dmm�ng, al to keep Y ..X_ the .

The mission of AVP is to empower people to lead nonviolent lives through affirmation, respect for ail, community building, communication, cooperation, and trust. AVP is dedicated to reducing the level of'violence in our society by introducingpeople to ways of resolving conflict that reduce their need to resort to violence as the solution. It is designed to create successful personal interactions, and transform violent situations. It teaches the same non- violent skills and techniques Hutt were used .by Mohandas Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther. Jr. There are two parts to the AVP philosophy: first, a belief in the essential goodness in every person; and second, the work that most be done. to develop that goodness. AVP focuses on Transforming Power. To "transform" means to "change,°' so "Trmzr OMIng Power" is the _— potential humans have to, change themselves when facing the negative energy of conflict situations. The Center's workshops use the shared experience of participants, interactive exercises, games, and role -plays to exaimiue how to respond to situations where injustice, prejudice frustration, and anger can lead to aggressive behavior and violence. AVP workshops help to: . • manage strong feelings such as anger and fear • deal more effectively with risk and danger • build good relationships • communicate well in difficult situations • recognize the skills an individual may already have and teach new ones • help individuals be true to themselves while respecting otherpeople • understand why conflict happens There are three levels of AVP workshops: BASIC focuses on building a trusting community of people to work on conflict resolution skills; ADVANCED examines in depth a theme chosen by the participants; and TRAINING for FACILITATORS prepares people to join the Niagara Frontier Facilitating Team and enables the Peacemakers to train at - risk youth in Alternatives to - VioIence.

As Peacemakers, they have continued to work closely with law enforcement to maintain the current downward trend in violent crime, especially in Buffalo's most poverty - stricken urban areas. 4veMew of tie Wa . 1 The Buffalo Peaeemakers r ragnm Works The Peacemakers provide proactive intervention into the cycle of violenc in the lives of gang - afBliated and at -risk youth. They mentor and redirect youth into healthy lifestyles, and reSVo to violent assaults and shootings, while working in concert with law enforcement officials to build safe neighborhoods in the City of Buffalo. Throughout the years, the Peacemakers have provided security at special events and at specified locations to restrict gang activity. In addition to this ongoing effort they, actively train and — engage citizens in their work of practicing and promoting nonviolent tgervention techMques. Youth Mentorin One of the most developed approaches to stopping youth violence is mentoring. The Peacemakers' nientoring sessions involve the direct advisement of at-rig youth, and are designed to act as a conduit through which each participant receives intense mentoring, hands -on life management skills, time managemen4 knowledge of self, money mnagemma, career options, and most importantly, conflict resole orr. the Bach to Basics mentorml pr has an outstanding track record, over 9D' /o of their participants, who have committed a crime or violation in the past, do not become repeat offenders: . This is conducted in weekly peen group circle sessions, with long teen mentors and Peacemakers, at various community centers during the week on a year-round basis. Conimumty and business leaders are often invited to share and participate in these sessions, as positive role models, they also provide encouragement and career advice. Most of the youth served are from high poverty areas in zip codes 14211,14215,14204,14206. � In addition-to the group mentoring sessions GILD assist at -risk youth in obtaining hi u�st €ef aid I �► school HipIo�isasesa on a year -round basis.

The Buffalo Peacemakers Program has raised the consciousness of thousamds of at -risk youth, transforming many. from active gang members and criminal offenders, to responsible, respectful, and gainMy employed youth making positive contributions to =community. Another key success factor is its active involvement in the .life of each individual youth, and consistent communication with their parents, family, and peers. OukL&ch and Su art Outreach and support are at the core ofthe program's work. There is a systematic approach geared toward preventing retaliation when violent crimes take p1m When a call comes through to the hotline, the information is dispatched to the appropriate individuals. Peacemakers respond at the scene of the crime, anchor at a meeting with the family ofthe vic# to find out details of the situation, and learn the victim's associations, background, and any other pertinent inforniWon, to help prevent retaliation. The focus is to understand why a crime or homicide took place, in onderto b&g understanding to the family of the victim to help them to better deal with the trauma..Cowtant dialogue wi& the victim's family members and friends is necessary throughout this process, from beginning to end. This supportive counseling creates the ability to convince the fancily and those connected to them to not retaliate by taking the law into their own bands, but carry on in peace for their loved one and focus on supporting each other through their tragedy. This aspect of the work is crucial to stop the cycle of violence in the community. Related services are also provided in the following ways: Victims' Services: The Peacemakers provide victims' services byresponding to the need of those that have been affected by homicide. Services are extended to both the victims' families and the perpetrators of crime. Services include: *Retaliation prevention after a violent crime occurs *Providing bereavement counseling to victims' family and friends *Connecting victims' families to the Crime Victims Assistance Program to access needed services.

How the Buffa10 Peacemakers Rave StreII sued In addition to the use of volunteers, there are eleven paid staff members who work half -time for the prograft Tads has allowed Peaceanakers to spend more time and energy on expaa & their work. Each of the program partners has nominated one seniorPe Peacemaker. All of the Peacemakers work under the direction of the R am es Mes,� eawuor. Supervising Peacemaker. Working with the Buffalo Police Department and other law enforeenlerrts the staff meets weekly to identify particular trouble spots that need attenti an d evaluates the results of the previous week's work Assignments are made according to each program partner's expertise, and individual gang members and other -at risk youth are tracked. Each Peacemaker keeps extensive daily reco o f evaluation metrics, identified later in this document. Rev. Giles also meets Advisory Board. Cmated with input from the comet �, answers to, e . ' and fimders, the Board is responsible for evaluating the progress made, ensuring financial accountability, and reporting regularly to the community. There is a regular and vastly increased connection to law enforeememt. As alluded to above, Rev. Crites will be in regular contact with Deputy Commissioner Charles TumaszewsK and Other officem at the BPD, and will produce a handbook outlining the "do and don'ts" of I with police officers. While law enforcement works primarily to arrest crinnaIs after they commit a crime, the Peacemakers can work proactively toerverte with at-risk youth, to draw them away from criminal behavior and into tidYe I memo and possible„ they work to build relationships, gather information, and m dim �1� %ere Mg conflicts to prevent violence. The Peacemakers also help create a more activ community response to crime by encouraging block clubs and community residents to report infomLat on that might otherwise be withheld from law enforcement.

Basic Concepts dTrainino The nonvzalence training for the Peacemakers is centered on the Altematives to Violence project (AVP) at the SSJ Sister Karen Klimczak Center for Nonviolence. The mission of AVP is to empower people to lead nonviolent lives through affirmation, respect for ail, community building, communication, cooperation, and trusf. AVP is dedicated to reducing the level of violence in our society by introducing people to ways of resolving conflict that reduce their need to resort to violence as the solution. It is designed to create successful personal interactions, and trans form violent situations. It teaches the same non - violent skills and teclwiques that were wed 'by Mohandas Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There are two parts to the AVP philosophy: first, a belief in the essential goodness in every person; and second, the work that must be done. to develop that goodness. AVP focuses m Transforming Power. To "transform" means to "change," so "Transforming Power" is the — potential humans have to. change themselves when facing the negative energy of conflict situations. - The Center's workshops use the shared experience of participants, interactive exercises, games, and role-plays to examine how to respond to situations where injustice, prejudice frustration, and anger can lead to aggressive behavior and violence. AVP workshops help to: . • manage strong feelings such as anger and fear • deal more effectively with risk and danger • build good relationships • communicate well in dill cult situations • recognize the skills an individual may already have and teach new ones • help individuals be true to themselves while respecting ofherpeople understand why conflict happens - There are three levels of AVP workshops: BASIC focuses on building a frosting eonumuity of people to work on conflict resolution skills; ADVANCED examines in depth a tl me chosen by the participants; and TRAINING for FACILITATORS prepares people to join the Niagara Frontier Facilitating Team and enables the Peacemakers to train at -risk youth in Alternafives to. - Violence.

A summary of these benefits follows in the text below. Environmental Historic preservation is an effective method of sustainability through the practice of conserving resources. Not only does restoration and rehabilitation consume less energy than demolition and new construction, but preservation also recovers the worth of past energy and resource investment. Demolition and new construction not only consumes present -day energy and resources, but negates and wastes the past energy and resource investment made in the building. Functional obsolescence is when a building or its components no longer meet the utility needs of the marketplace. Demolition should not be the first response to a building's function obsolescence. The demolition of historic buildings results in the loss of a scarce resource. The alternative response is adaptive re -use. In real estate terms, functional obsolescence represents the loss of utility, but adaptive re -use is the reinsertion of a new utility into an existing building. Cultural Historic preservation is the visual and tangible conservation of a community's cultural identity. Architecture is a direct and substantial representation of history and place. By preserving historic structures we are able to share the very spaces and environments in which the generations before us lived. In addition to solidifying a community's past, preservation can assist in strengthening a community's future. Historic buildings help create vibrant, cultural downtowns and neighborhoods that draw tourism, art, festivals and other activities which in turn attract investment, revenue and economic growth. Historic District and Landmark designations provide official recognition that a neighborhood or property is of significance to the nation, the state or the local community. The designations also raise the community's awareness and pride in its past. It is this "sense of place" that encourages people to put down roots in a community. Historic preservation enhances the visual and aesthetic character, diversity and distinctiveness of a city and helps safeguard its history and heritage. Economic Im act Historic districts protect and enhance the investment of property owners and residents. Recent studies have consistently reported that properties in historic districts appreciate in value significantly faster than comparable properties not located in historic districts. It has been found that when a local historic district has the greatest positive impact on property values four variables are usually in place, including: 1) clear, written design guidelines for the e affected properties; 2) staff for the preservation commission; 3) active education outreach by the staff and commission to property owners, real estate brokers, architects, builders and investors; and 4) consistent and predictable decisions by the commission. Historic preservation is an effective economic l c jobs; tourism an es investment and property values; generates increased tax revenues; stimulates downtown and neighborhood revitalization. Do historic preservation is one of the most effective economic development tools a Historic preservation creates unique incubator space for small businesses and provides a wide range of housing opportunities and choices.

Box 765 Re: Request for Designation of Lead Agency Battaglia Transfer Station City of Buffalo Common Council v NYSDEC Region 9 Buffalo (C), Erie County Mr. Battaglia V 'I Am Joe Martens Commissioner I am responding on behalf of Commissioner Martens of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to a request originally submitted by you on March 31,. 2013, that a lead agency be designated for the environmental review of the proposed modification of the transfer station identified as the Battaglia Facility project under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law; "SEQR °). Your letter also raised the question of whether or not the City of Buffalo Common Council has jurisdictional authority over this project. At the time your letter was received, the NYSDEC Central Office did not take action as it appeared that there was no dispute between agencies and it was felt that perhaps more information was forthcoming. Since receipt of your initial letter to the Commissioner, I have been informed by the NYSDEC Region 9 Office that lead agency for this project was coordinated with the City of Buffalo Common Council. By agreement, the City of Buffalo Common Council assumed the role of lead agency for the SEQR review of this project. This coordination was confirmed on July 2, 2013 in e -mail correspondence from Ms. Lisa Porter of the NYSDEC Region 9 to you. Based ors the material provided, and as originally presumed, there is no disagreement between identified involved agencies regarding the lead agency role for the SEAR review of this project. City of Buffalo Common Council v NYSDEC Region 9 Office Lead Agency Dispute July 8, 2013 Page 2 In your letter you indicated your belief that the City of Buffalo did not have a discretionary jurisdiction over your project. When coordinating for Lead Agency under SEQRA, the Department accepts the assertion of authority by other agencies. The DEC does not typically weigh in on such issues and any dispute between you and the City of Buffalo over the city's standing as an involved agency should be resolved between yourselves. Should the City withdraw its assertion of involved agency status or is found to be without a discretionary action, the assignment of lead agency can be re- evaluated. Given the"above, by this letter I am confirming that at this time the Commissioner's Office will be acting to resolve a lead agency dispute. The file will be closed and maintained in the Division of Environmental Permits. If you have any further questions please contact our office at the address or telephone number listed above.

The idea that our City Hall be fronted by an uninviting and inactive public space is discordant with the very concept of the civic core of an American city. As it is now and in spite of its prominence, Niagara Square is a pass - through space for cars, difficult to access by foot, much in need of repair, and is a detriment to tourism efforts and self -image for the City of Buffalo. In the ten years that I have called this city "home" I have watched public works efforts transform many neighborhoods and strengthen their image and usability, but I am at a loss as to why this area . hasn't received any attention, especially with what seems to be a growing desire to repopulate the downtown area. On the low end of the scale, a simple striping and paving /curb repair strategy would go far to improve conditions in the square, but this is not a location that deserves low -end treatment. The potential for grandness is evident if one imagines Court Street as an axis connecting City Hall with the downtown public library — an ideological connection that could project truth, transparency, and trust in the city's governing body. Designed along its 5 -block length, this street could showcase the monuments, parks, truly spectacular architecture, and a care for developing what could rival any of the great public spaces in the US. Already the view west down Court Street provides perhaps the iconic image of the city, however, the individual's experience on the street and on the sidewalks, especially at and around Niagara Square is jumbled and unattractive. The hub of Joseph Ellicott's radial plan should be radiant, and the beauty of the plan is that anywhere in the city there is close -by one of these radials, which references Niagara Square and reminds the citizen of his or her city center. imagine a space that draws its citizens into it — a place for discourse, rendezvous, lunch. imagine a space that visitors to this city will tell their friends about when they go home — an inspiring experience, instead of a tale of harrowing traffic - dodging just to get a good photo. I imagine wanting to live in downtown again. At any scale, I hope the city's leadership would be able to realize the potential and work to correct and improve these deficiencies. But I would push beyond an internal DPW solution and invite local and national public excitement with an open design competition, soliciting leading local and international architects, urban planners, and landscape designers to imagine such a space fit for.such a city center and such a magnificent City Hall as we are proud to own.

Pridgen Ellicott District Council Member 0 I �4 �N Buffalo City Hall Common Council Mr. Darrius Pridgen 1408 City Hall Buffalo, New York 14202 Dear Sir: This letter is in regards to the four (4) Bail Bond vehicles parked everyday in front of Buffalo City Court. There are signs posted that state 2 hour max. Parking, but they stay there from 8:00am until after 5pm and one stays all night. Yes the put the money in the meter, but that is not the point. They are carry on a business out of the vehicles, and taking parking space from those people that may want to run in to a business in the area for a short period of time. Most bail bonds agents work from their homes or office's, why can't they!!. I have an office and I'm bail agent. The courts do not want them parking on Delaware Ave. in front of the courts, but their request for Delp has been ignored by the parking bureau. The parking bureau has told it workers not to ticket the vehicles. Some days there are 5 vehicles parked in front. I get complains from customers about the parking in the area all the time, and the spaces taken up by those vehicles do not help the matter. Other cities do not allow Bail bond persons to park in front of the courts, with signs on there cars. Why here? Respectfully, Laura Gist 6/20/2013 REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE 11 00083 MEMORANDUM TO: Gerald Chwalinski FROM: Council Member Darius G. Pridgen DATE: July 11, 2013 16 South Cedar Street I would like to file the attached constituent concerns from Cherita Johnson - Morrow for the next Common Council meeting to be held on July 23, 2013. Thank You, C Darius G. Pridgei Ellicott District Council Member l� Ms. Shaw: As per our conversation this morning June 4, 2013, I have concerns about the Famous Corner Bar and Pizzeria located at 16 S. Cedar Street, Buffalo, N.Y. 14204. The bar is located in the Ellicott District and it is my hope that my concerns are brought to the attention of Councilman Pridgen and any other city stakeholders. My concerns are as follows: 1. The noise level. Patrons of the bar are often loitering outside of the bar on the corners and the adjacent streets. As well as on residential property. Music can be heard from the bar at all times of the night from patron's cars and patrons themselves. 2. Cars and motorcycles are racing and revving engines with no respect to the surrounding neighbors. Patrons of the bar often use the surrounding streets to race and rev engines creating a dangerous and loud situation. 3. Car idling. Often cars of patrons are left idling and block the street preventing other motorist from passing. Sometimes for a few minutes until the driver is located. 4. Littering. Debris from the patrons can be found on the ground around the bar, in the field near the bar, and on the lawns of residents. The debris often consists of cups, bottles, cans, and napkins to which the residents must clean. 5. Loitering. Not everyone who visits this establishment go in. Some hang out in the streets, lawns and residents porches. Others are looking for trouble. Fights, ,�ay looking in cars and residents yards. Often times they come back to victimize the D A�) ' residents by taking items that residents have paid good money for. Personally I've had a barbeque grill stolen and various neighbors had items taken as well. In summary the clientele of the Famous Corner Bar and Pizzeria have become a nuisance to the residents of the area. Homes in the area closest to the establishment are valued at over $100,000. It is my wish that this nuisance not be allowed to continue or that a stronger police presence can be seen especially in the summer to prevent any crimes and give residents peace of mind.

Additionally, the University and other partner institutions propose to a construct an associated parking structure on an approximately 0.6 acre site adjacent to the existing Ellicott- Goodrich Garage (EGG) on the block bounded by Main, East North, Ellicott, and Goodrich Streets (the Parking Ramp site). The Project site (both the SMBS and Parking Ramp sites) is located within the new UB Downtown Campus in the City of Buffalo, Erie County, New York (see Figures 1 and 2). UB's downtown campus boundary roughly coincides with the boundaries of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC). The 120 -acre BNMC is a consortium of nine health care related institutions, including UB, Kaleida Health, and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, located at the northeastern corner of downtown Buffalo.As presently envisioned, the SMBS facility will be up to eight stories tall (in addition, the building will include one subterranean level), up to approximately 610,000 gross square feet, and will be up to approximately 195 feet tall at the highest point. These maximum dimensions are used throughout the DEIS to provide for a conservative (i.e., "worst case ") assessment of potential environmental impacts. Location: .

Purpose: The purpose of this proposal is to develop a realistic plan to beautify the streets and public squares in the downtown area of Buffalo, NY. This proposal does not have an actual landscaping plan, budget or request for funds. Rather, it is a proposed roadmap to find and fund the best possible redesign for Niagara Square, Lafayette Square, and the streets that feed into those squares and surround the downtown core. II. Landscaping Objectives The project parameters proposed are to redesign the two major public squares, Niagara and Lafayette, to meet the demands of the 21 century by calming traffic patterns, make them more enticing to pedestrians and tourists, improve the image and livability of downtown for residents and office workers, and raise property values. Additionally, the project should take steps to reduce greenhouse carbon emissions, reduce storm water runoff and incorporate the use of innovative projects such as Bikeshare, green roofs and other ways to improve the environment, and provide a better place to live and work. Museums and galleries can help select large outdoor sculptures to be placed in highly visible areas, helping to show off the fact that Buffalo is an arts city. By building upon the success of the annual Garden Tour, growing recognition of the Olmstead Parks plan, and Buffalo's renown as a well - planned city, the city can attract national attention by developing a comprehensive plan that goes beyond mere landscaping. III. Building Support As with any major civic project, it is necessary to build wide public and private support. Therefore, this project should draw together all interested parties, which may include: The Annual Garden Tour The Olmstead Parks Conservancy Re -tree WNY The Buffalo Museum of Science The Albright Knox Art Gallery Landlords who own and operate property downtown Hotels, cafes and restaurants 111� � 3 Landscape design firms Buffalo Bicycle Club Area Nurseries and other garden suppliers The Buffalo News and other local media Design and natural history departments of area colleges and universities Local foundations By including representatives from these and other organizations, it helps to insure that all voices are included in developing the plans and that they are well thought out to include all possible ideas to achieve a maximum effect at the lowest cost, while also considering the needs ever - growing needs of a major urban center. IV. Funding Initially, seed funding will be needed in order to begin the process. Money must be raised to hire a person who can speak to all the various parties to obtain their support for the project and cover basic expenses. As support grows, funding should come from the various parties and their supporters. When the major leaders agree that a plan in finalized, then can in turn to their supporters as a fund raising initiative. In this way, the project leverages the fund raising abilities of the various partiers so that a whole new effort doesn't have to be created. It is always best to use existing resources than attempt to build a new network. The City of Buffalo will have to commit to some funds in order to reorder any streets or squares by rebuilding asphalt roads and sidewalks and to conduct environmental impact studies. Funding from non - public resources should be directed towards the costs of developing the plan, buying trees and greenery and installation. V. Implementation Phases In order to best rollout the project, it should be divided into various Phases. Once the final comprehensive project is approved, Phase I should be announced with a fund raising goal of meeting the budget requirements of that Phase. I would propose the following Phases: Phase P Redesign of Niagara Square and one block of all streets feeding into it. Phase IT Redesign of Lafayette Square and one block of all streets feeding into it. (At that point, Court Street would unite both Phases). Phase III: Landscaping of all other major streets in the downtown area, including N and S. Division Streets, streets connecting from the HSBC Tower, to Old County Hall, Main Street, Delaware Ave, Franklin, Genesee and any other smaller squares. Phrase IK Ongoing implementation of green technologies initiatives and maintenance of the earlier Phases, and planning for extension to other streets. 4 By dividing the project into Phases, the public can contribute to concrete things, such as trees or bushes. It can be completed in a fairly short period of time, so that donors can see quickly the results of their efforts. It will build more enthusiasm for the next Phase. As success breeds success, more donors and supporters will step up to contribute to the next Phase. Additionally, if any changes need to be made, they can be addressed in the next Phase. In this way, the project can continually grow with changing needs and experience V1. Organization In order to best organize this effort, an IRS 501(c)(3) organization should be formed as quickly as possible, and an Executive Director should be identified. In this way, the ED can assemble a supportive Board of Directors from each of the above named organizations. With that structure tplace, ocess of putting a�plan that includes l as begin to solicit for fiends and beg p many elements from the community as possible: This organization can also take responsibility for maintaining the overall plan for years to come, insuring that the vegetation is properly watered, pruned and removed and replaced as needed, that artwork is secured and protected, and that new ideas are continually reviewed for improvement and expansion. The non - profit organization would be permanently dedicated to creating and preserving the natural beauty of downtown Buffalo, and supporting new green technologies. This organization will therefore create several jobs at various skill levels. With expert guidance, the non -profit might be able to generate new companies in the green tech sector: VII. Outcomes In the 19 century, Buffalo was known as "The city in a forest" for its many trees. It is now time to reclaim that role. up The benefits of large shade of the builtindisputable: envi environment, and make the overall pollution, soften the hard edges experience much more pleasant. This in turn helps attract tourists, pedestrians as well as tenants and residents, spurring the expansion of cafes and other outdoor amenities. This all helps to raise property values. The project can be a real world incubator for the latest in green technologies, spurring local innovation. This more than merely adding flower boxes and trees to our streets — it is a comprehensive plan that would alter the image of Buffalo and improve its economic base, and attract national attention. As Daniel Burnham, architect of the Ellicott Square Building, once said, "Make no little plans, for they do nothing to stir men's blood." This project is large enough and inclusive enough that will bring together many disparate elements together to do something good for the city. p ,F-CEIVED AND FILED ®0 ENV - Environmental Conservation ARTICLE 6 STATE SMART GROWTH PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY ACT Section 6 =0101.

The State expects to enroll over 1 million New Yorkers in coverage through the Exchange, significantly lowering the number of New Yorkers without insurance, This enrollment goal is critical not only to ensure access to quality health care for all, but also to protect New Yorkers from incurring federal tax penalties under the individual mandate come 2014. In order to achieve this, the Exchange must undertake an extremely effective campaign that includes advertising, broad community The state should focus its outreach efforts on diverse communities. outreach, and public engagement in every region of the state and within diverse communities. Importantly, this must all happen within a relatively short time frame — the Exchange will begin accepting enrollees in October of 2013. A Multi- Faceted Marketing and Outreach Campaign New Yorkers will need to be informed about health insurance requirements, available health plans and options, prices, benefits, subsidies available, and exemptions. The State has already informed the federal government that it intends to engage in a large advertising campaign leading up to the open enrollment period for the Exchange. Of course, traditional means like television, print, and radio advertisirg should be pursued. But, the State must also invest in "new media" such as web advertising, text messaging and ads on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Similar to the effort undertaken by Massachusetts in 2006 to enroll its residents in its state Exchange (known as the "Connector "), New York must develop a robust and coordinated campaign with the broad input of a large number of community stakeholders, including consumer groups and small business representatives. This campaign should involve a variety of messengers, such as sports teams and government agencies. Outreach to Diverse Communities The State must focus its enrollment efforts on diverse constituencies, including people of color, low- income people, women, LGBT people, immigrants and people with disabilities. Outreach should include marketing to ethnic papers and other media outlets that serve diverse communities, enrollment efforts at community events, employment centers, schools, hospitals and health clinics, supermarkets, and door -to -door canvassing by staff of community - based organizations (CBOs).

Ct•tCF,4i+lY www.hctny.org Policy Brief No. 55 January 2013 1 CBOs should be funded to do outreach to 'targeted constituencies, including using multilingual advertising and outreach workers, and alternate communication formats for people with disabilities. A successful consumer assistance program called Community Health Advocates (CHA) already exists in New York with ACA funding that has helped over 100,000 people since its formation in 2010. As "trusted messengers" in their communities, the CBOs funded by CHA are highly suited to do outreach for the Exchange. This successful program should be continued and expanded with Exchange funding. Equally important is utilizing the forthcoming navigator program that the State will create under the ACA. Making Health Insurance Affordable and Accessible to All Now Yorkers Even with the premium subsidies that will be available for coverage purchased on the Exchange, studies indicate coverage would still be unaffordable for many low and moderate income New Yorkers. In order to ensure maximum enrollment, the State must also take steps to lower health plan costs without compromising quality, and work to expand the number of New Yorkers eligible for public insurance programs. HCFANY supports legislation to create a "Basic Health Plan" in the state, which would offer free or very low cost coverage to low in- income families that do not qualify for Medicaid. HCFANY also supports the merging of the small group and individual insurance markets in New York which would lower costs for those buying health insurance directly. Further, we support the expansion of the successful and low -cost Child Health Plus program to adults who cannot get coverage under the ACA, including undocumented immigrants. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE N LEGISLATION. 2 Polley Brief No. 55 January 2013 www.h c fanyorg � C� '3 Health clinics, employment centers and other places where people without insurance go must be utilized as part of the State's enrollment efforts. . 5V.,:M— Myth #1: Health reform is a government takeover: it's socialism! Truth: The new federal law builds on the current system of private insurance by extending private coverage to millions � of additional people. The law stops the worst health insurer abuses -- like denying people insurance because they were previously sick or dumping people when they do get sick. Even before the law was passed, states regulated private insurance companies to make sure they had enough money to pay claims and in other ways. The new regulations add to the existing laws that protect us from private health insurance company abuses. That's no government takeover and doesn't make it socialism.'} ~ �, And what's wrong with a greater government role when needed? Medicare is a successful government program that's provided health care coverage to seniors and the disabled for decades. f Myth #2: Health reform costs too much: it will increase the a deficit. Truth: Reform will actually reduce the deficit by $138 billion over the next 10 years and far more in the following decade, according to the non - partisan Congressional Budget Office. , Many of the savings come from greater efficiencies t, getting more health care out of our health spending. Myth #3: Health reform will raise taxes on the middle class. Truth: The new law only raises income taxes on those who earn more than $200,000 per year [$250,000 for joint returns): wealthy individuals. Myth #4: You will have to give up your own doctor and your existing coverage. Truth: The new law does nothing to limit the ability of l Americans to choose their own doctors and will not require ` people to drop their existing coverage. 9 PUBLIC POLICY AND EDUCATION FUND OF NEW YOR�� 94 Central Avenue, Albany, NY 12206 518.465.4600 fax - 518.465.2890 www.ppefny.org Myth #5: Reform will cut Medicare. Truth: The new law actually strengthens Medicare by requiring free preventive care, closing the prescription drug "donut hole," and making Medicare financially healthy for an additional 10 years. No Medicare benefits are cut, although there are cuts to providers and insurance companies. Private insurers that run Medicare Advantage plans will lose much of their unfair subsidies, which have increased their profits at the expense of taxpayers and the rest of Medicare beneficiaries. Myth #6: It's not fair to fine individuals for not obtaining health care coverage. Truth: For the health care system to bring costs under control, everyone needs to pay their fair share through buying insurance. Otherwise, costs will spiral out of control for those who do purchase insurance. It's just like auto insurance today: you have to obtain auto insurance if you drive, even if you've never had an accident. (Under the new law, if you can actually prove buying health insurance is truly a financial hardship, you won't have to obtain coverage or pay a penalty.) A big reason we pay so.much for health care today is that when people without coverage have a medical emergency, those costs are passed on to all of us: insured people, taxpayers, hospitals and doctors. Requiring everyone to be insured will lower these costs for everyone. Myth #7: Reform will lead to rationing. Truth: Reform will not reduce benefits either for private coverage or for public programs like Medicare or Medicaid. In fact, reform will vastly limit current insurance company rationing by ending such practices as dumping people when they get sick, refusing to pay for needed care and discriminating against people with a history of illness ( "pre- existing conditions "). The law also provides funding and incentives for more doctors and other providers to meet the needs of patients. Myth #8: Single payer is the only real solution. Truth: We agree that single payer would be the best solution, but we didn't have enough political power to replace the insurance companies with a government plan for all. The new low will curb the worst abuses for everyone, extend health insurance to over 30 million additional Americans now without insurance, and improve the quality of coverage for millions more. Now that the law has passed, we should unite and fight to make sure that the new law works as effectively as possible and take full advantage of the provisions of the law that allow states to set up single payer systems or other public plans.

MUNSON LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT MARY ELIZABETH LAMPARELLI w 3� Residents Against Mc Carthy Park Practice Field Quality of Life Petition Petition Background (Preamble): We the neighbors of the William Price Parkway Block Club are opposed to the increased traffic and noise levels brought about by use of the practice field at McCarthy Park. The practice field is situated in such a way as to infringe upon the quality of life for residents of William Price as a whole, in particular the residents at 119, 125 and 131 William Price parkway . As the practice field has become an increasingly popular site for practice and play by little league and collegiate level soccer, lacrosse and football the car traffic and noise levels have significantly increased. The practice field ends less than 10 feet from the home at 131 William price parkway. The noise from balls hitting the chain link fence, coaches and players yelling whistles blowing and participants hooting reverberates through the backyards and homes of residents at the south end of the block. Car traffic speeds up a once quiet and small street where children play in the streets creating the potential for a deadly incident. The noise levels we feel are in violation of the city of Buffalo a Code 36 which states in part that the Common Council determines that persons within the city limits are entitled to have maintained noise levels which are not a detriment to life, health, welfare and enjoyment of property. Specific acts constituting unreasonable noise under chapter 293 -4 sec G include yelling, shouting or hooting at anytime or place so as to annoy or disturb the quiet, comfort and repose of a reasonable person of normal sensitivities. We the residents are not opposed to the increased use of parkland. We are opposed to the seeming disregard for the residents ability to enjoy their private property both indoors and out. We are opposed to the increased traffic which brings about concern for the welfare of our children who for years have been able to play street hockey, baseball and other games in the street without fear of incident. As an alternative, we the residents of William Price Parkway are requesting that the City of Buffalo and Medaille college move the practice field to the south west corner of the park which is near the basketball courts. This is an unused parcel of parkland situated off of Amherst Street. There would be no encumbrance upon any residential area and includes ample parking space. Petition: We the undersigned residents of William Price Parkway would like to bring to your attention the quality of life issues surrounding the Practice Field at McCarthy Park. We request the practice field be moved to the southwest corner of the park near the basketball courts. The practice field is currently situated less than 10 feet from residential property at 131 William Price parkway. REFERRED TO THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS..

Petrucci Department of Economic Development Permit and Inspection Services 304 City Hall Buffalo, NY 14202 Dear Mr. Petrucci On behalf of the Grape Street Block Club, we would like to say thank you for responding to our inquiry into 350 East North Street that is situated on the corner of Grape and East Forth. It has been a blight to our neighborhood for four years with several break -ins and gang activities. Last summer we started calling the Mayor's 311 line again as we've noticed that the new owners from Israel made no attempts in repairing or occupying the property. Our only solace is the tenant living in the back house who is our Vice President. The neglect is painfully obvious since no one has even taken responsibility for maintaining the grounds around the front part of the vacant unit. We, the undersign request that the City enforce the moratorium of sale considering the owners are in violation of the agreement. We request that the City allow us to take ownership of said property at cost. We are prepared to rehab and occupy.

Fontana Re: Free Prescription Plan for Western New York and Surrounding Counties Date: July 27, 2013 Whereas: The Lovejoy District Council office will announce an affordable prescription discount card that is free and available to everyone in the eight Western New York counties; and Whereas: This prescription card is managed by Integrity Rx and families will be able to save up to 85% on both brand -name and generic medications; and Whereas: This program has successfully rolled out in New York City with tremendous results. Brooklyn Borough President Markowitz attested to citizens in his district saving about $200,000 in one year. Since 2006, this program has saved members over $2 billion dollars; and Whereas: More than 60,000 pharmacies participate throughout the country, and there are no restrictions, enrollment fees, as well as no income requirements and no personal information is required to get a card; and Whereas: These savings are extraordinary for seniors and those who are on low to moderate incomes. All too often the rising cost of prescription drugs places a burden on Western New York households. This is particularly true for more than one million New Yorkers who don't have health insurance. The high cost of prescription drugs imposes a huge impact on seniors and low income families choosing between lifesaving medications or putting food on the table. Having access to a free prescription drug card can spell relief for many families within our counties. Now, Therefore Be It Resolved: prescription plan. Richard A.

Fontana Council President Executive staff Lovejoy District Common Council Member 1315 City Hall Dawn E. Sanders - Garrett Buffalo, NY 14202 Executive Director Modesto Candelario Re: BMHA Perry Choice Neighborhood Assistant Executive Director David Rodriguez Dear Honorable Council Member Fontana: General Counsel We respectfully request approval of the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority's Perry Choice Neighborhood Transformation Plan. As you know the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority was awarded a $250,000 Choice Neighborhood Planning Grant in 2011 towards the development of a neighborhood transformation plan for the Perry Choice Neighborhood. We have successfully closed the chapter on the planning work and the Board of Commissioners has approved the plan. Our planning team which includes the City of Buffalo is now earnestly commencing work to implement the first half of the plan. The key to catalyzing this plan is the successful award of a Choice Neighborhood Implementation Grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The deadline for this grant application is September 10, 2013. in addition to a robust social service strategy, we are proposing approximately 450 units of new mixed - income rental and for -sale homes under the auspices of the HUD Choice Neighborhood Initiative in the first half of the plan. An additional 450 units is scheduled for development in a subsequent 5 year period building off the momentum of the first five years. In regards to housing in the first 5 year period (phases 1 -5), HUD requires the BM HA to demonstrate site control. We currently own about 60% of the land --the remaining 11 acres are on City owned land at Lanigan Park, on City owned vacant land near Perry Homes and in the Ellicott Community near AD Price. We believe that this approach of development on both BMHA and City owned land accomplishes the following goals: • True mixed - income redevelopment has to take place beyond the boundaries of public housing • Successful neighborhood revitalization must leverage the market momentum in the Cobblestone District and the waterfront, i.e., Buffalo Creek Casino, Elk Terminal Lofts, Webster Block, etc. • Infill development in existing Buffalo communities is equally critical as large scale redevelopment of public housing sites towards successful neigl1borhood transformation 300 Perry Street • Buffalo, New York 14204 -2299 (716) 855 -6711 • (FAX) (716) 855 -6761 • (TDD) (716) 855 -6725 t2l "BMHA is an Equal Opportunity /Affirmative Action Employer" EQUAL HCUS NG oaaoR%wn 134 07/23/2013 To this end, we respectfully request the City of Buffalo Common Council to grant an option agreement for the attached list of properties before the Council recesses for the summer. The option agreement can be dependent on the successful award of a HUD Choice Neighborhood Implementation Grant and must contain the following caveats: • The option agreement must remain in effectfor at least 150 days after the application deadline date — September 10, 2013 • The option agreement may include only commercially standard early termination clauses and conditions to closing We are committed to transforming the Perry neighborhood into a neighborhood of choice. We count on the support of Buffalo Common Council as we commence the long but worthwhile journey in neighborhood revitalization. C Respectfully f �� Dawn E.
