Brown, Mayor May 16, 2014 Paul McDonnell AIA Chair Report and Recommendation from the Buffalo Preservation Board to the Common Council. Re: Application for Landmark Status: "The Larkin Historic District" 635 Seneca Street, Building "I," the Larkin Powerhouse (1902 -1905) 680 Seneca Street, Building "A" (the Larkin Administration Building, 1906) site 696 Seneca Street, Larkin Men's Club (1890, former Sacred Heart rectory) 701 Seneca Street, Larkin buildings B, C, D, Dx, E, F, G, H, J, K, N, O (1898 -1913) 290 Larkin Street, L &M Building (1908) 726 Exchange Street, Larkin RISIT Building (1912) 239 Van Rensselaer Street, Building "Ll" (1893) The Buffalo Preservation Board recommends that the Buffalo Common Council designate "The Larkin Historic District" be designated a local landmark district. The attached application was initiated and prepared by the Preservation Board as a result of the recognition of the historic and cultural value that the properties offer the City of Buffalo as well as possible threats certain buildings in the district may face in the future. As per Chapter 337 Article III of the City of Buffalo Charter, any person, group ofpersons, or association may request designation of a landmark, landmark site, or an historic district by submitting an application for designation.... The Preservation Board may also initiate proceedings for designation of a landmark, landmark site, or historic district. " A public hearing to review the application was held by the Buffalo Preservation Board on May 15, 2014. Representatives of LCO Building LLC (d.b.a. Larkin Development Group) and Millrace Commons LLC owners of 726 Exchange Street, 239 Van Rensselaer Street and 696 Seneca Street spoke in favor of landmarking the district. Support was also publicly stated by the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture and Culture, Preservation Buffalo Niagara and architect Beverly Foit Albert. No one spoke in opposition. The Buffalo Preservation Board voted unanimously in support of the application As per Section 337.15 (Criteria for Designation) of the Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo New York, the properties at the addresses listed above meet seven criteria for designation as a Local Landmark; a landmark need only meet one criterium to qualify for listing. (1) It has character, interest or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics of the city, state or nation The Larkin Historic District has surpassing national value, character, and interest as a late- 19th - century and early- 20th - century cultural landscape comprising the industrial plant of one of the largest mail -order corporations in America. It is built on the first rail line to connect Buffalo with the Hudson River, and typifies the railroad -era industrial complex. It provides, according to architectural historian Reyner Banham "a kind of monumental history of American industrial architecture on either side of the changeover from regular mill construction to concrete." (3) It exemplifies the historic, aesthetic, architectural, archeological, educational, economic or cultural heritage of the city, state or nation. The buildings and site exemplify the historic, aesthetic, architectural and economic heritage of Buffalo and the nation. The massive brick piered industrial lofts, daylight factory and the extended limestone foundations in a railroad era landscape have significant educational and cultural value. — 2 — May 16, 2014 (4) It is identified with a person orpersons who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state or nation The buildings and sites are identified with national and local figures such as John Larkin, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert J. Reidpath, Elbert Hubbard, and Darwin Martin. (5) It embodies distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style valuable for the study of a period, type, method of construction or use of indigenous materials. The complex embodies distinguishing characteristics of state of the art buildings at the time of their construction ranging from brick -pier, post and beam and reinforced concrete construction in industrial applications. The buildings also contain large amounts of locally quarried stone and elements produced in the Buffalo area. (6) It is the work of a master builder, engineer, designer, architect or landscape architect whose individual work has influenced the development of the city, state or nation. The complex contains the subsurface remnants of master architect Frank Lloyd Wright's world- famous Larkin Administration Building, as well as a pier of its enclosing wall. Further, the L &M Building, the Powerhouse, and 701 Seneca Street constitute the largest collection of work by master engineer Robert. J. Reidpath. (7) It embodies elements of design, detailing, materials or craftsmanship that render it architecturally significant. The Larkin Complex embodies "a genuine revolution in material and concepts between 1902 and 1906" (Banham). The Larkin Complex was built over a short period that saw the transition from brick pier construction to reinforced concrete. The detailing of the stone foundations, brick piers and walls, and exposed reinforced concrete framing is exceptional. (9) it is a unique location or contains singular characteristics that make it an established or familiar visual feature within the city The Larkin Complex, by virtue of its size and bulk, looms large on the Buffalo landscape. Its powerhouse, with tall chimney (once 275 -feet tall), signified entry into downtown Buffalo for generations of rail passengers, while eastbound travelers on Seneca Street could orient and place themselves by means of the landmark powerhouse. Travelers on the New York State Thruway, which runs parallel to the main axis of the Larkin Complex, can see and readily identify the entire complex from the south. The Larkin District constitutes an internationally significant cultural landscape. Their character, materials, craftsmanship, design, scale, mass and relationship to each other and the surrounding city render them valuable to the city, state and nation. They also stand as the embodiment of the vision, ideals and drive of individuals such as John D. Larkin, Darwin D. Martin, Elbert Hubbard, Frank Lloyd Wright and Robert J. Reidpath. The district has become the most successful examples of historic preservation, adaptive reuse and urban revitalization in Buffalo. It is a vibrant location for business, new and old, and a cultural and entertainment destination for residents and visitors alike. This application is in keeping with the Preservation Board's responsibility to nominate potential buildings and districts that meet the criteria for designation and safeguard the city's heritage as embodied and reflected in its landmarks and to avoid demolition of historically or architecturally important properties. Paul D nel AIA C air, Buffalo Preservation Board ( I Appendix A - Architectural, Historical, and Cultural Significance Larkin Historic District I. Introduction The buildings, streets, and railroads associated with the Larkin Co. constitute a nationally significant cultural landscape. Their character, materials, craftsmanship, design, scale, mass, and relationship to each other and the surrounding city render them valuable to the city, state, and nation. They also stand as the embodiment of the vision, ideals, and drive of singular individuals whose influence is appreciated and felt to the present day: John D. Larkin, Darwin D. Martin, Elbert Hubbard, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Robert J. Reidpath. While built during the railroad era to accommodate a manufacturing and distribution company of national scope, many of the buildings have been successfully adapted to a new era and for other uses, such as offices, over the past 15 years. The structures and sites included are: • 726 Exchange St., Larkin R/S/T Building (1911 -1912) • 290 Larkin St., Larkin L/M Building (1904) • 635 Seneca St., Larkin I Building, Larkin Power House (1902 -1904) • 680 Seneca St., site of Larkin A Building, Larkin Administration Building (1904 -1906) • 696 Seneca St., Larkin Men's Club, former Sacred Heart Church rectory (circa 1890) • 701 Seneca St., Larkin B/C/D/Dx/E/F /G/H /J/K/N/0 Buildings, Larkin Factory (1898 -1913) • 239 Van Rensselear St., Larkin U Building, Duk -It Building (circa 1893) II. Geographic & Site Significance The Larkin Co. buildings are located in The Hydraulics neighborhood. Buffalo's first manufacturing district, and a nationally important industrial heritage site, the neighborhood was established in 1827 by Reuben Bostwick Heacock one mile east of downtown Buffalo. The larger Hydraulics neighborhood is bounded by Spring St., Fillmore Ave./Smith St., Eagle St., and the Niagara Section of the New York State Thruway, while the proposed historic district encompasses only Larkin Co. buildings and sites. In 1828 Heacock completed the Hydraulic Canal, which provided waterpower to a half - dozen small industrial enterprises by 1832. The Attica & Buffalo Rail Road, the last link in a chain of seven railroads that connected Buffalo to Albany, was opened in 1843, and was in 1853 absorbed into the New York Central Railroad. This rail link, combined with rail connections to the coalfields of western Pennsylvania and the vast hinterland of Chicago, set the stage for large -scale industrial development in Buffalo and The Hydraulics. The geography of the neighborhood at this "iron crossroads" allowed for the location and expansion at The Hydraulics of several major industrial enterprises, including, by 1905, the Larkin Co., F. N. Burt & Co., Keystone Warehouse Co., Sizer Steam Forge, American Radiator Co., Iroquois Door Co,, Buffalo Lounge Co., and Anselm Hoefner Soap Works. The Hydraulics gained a reputation as a hotbed for progressive business practices and a site for some of the latest ideas in architecture and engineering. Most famously, the Larkin Co., one of America's largest mail order firms, commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright in 19o3 to design the Larkin Administration Building on Seneca St.. Infamously, the building was demolished in 1950. After World War II and the construction of the New York State Thruway and the Interstate Highway system, The Hydraulics went into a decline that lasted 60 years. While many houses and small commercial and residential buildings were destroyed, the industrial heritage resources of The Hydraulics, in particular the former factory and warehouse buildings of the Larkin Co., are now a basis for economic development in the neighborhood. III. Larkin Co., 1875-1962 The Larkin Co. was one of the great industrial concerns of the United States. At the company's peak around 1919, its factory complex occupied 65 acres of floor area and employed about 2,000 people in the manufacture of hundreds of household products, sold by mail order to customers across North America. Its story, said the Bu Courier in 1904, is "of the giant oak grown from the smallest of seeds:' J.D. Larkin, Manufacturer of Plain and Fancy Soaps, started in 1875 in a modest workshop at 198 Chicago St., where John D. Larkin produced a yellow laundry bar called "Sweet Home Soap." The next year the company began construction on a three -story plant at 663 Seneca St. in The Hydraulics (where Larkin was first employed in the soap business as a clerk at the firm of Justus Weller, 960 Seneca St., in 1862). By 1878, the company produced nine different soap products, ranging from "Boraxine" soap powder, to a variety of laundry soaps, "Jet" harness soap, "Oatmeal" toilet soap, and Glycerine. In the same year, the firm was incorporated as J.D. Larkin & Co., with John D. Larkin as President and his brother -in -law, Elbert Hubbard, as Secretary and Treasurer. Darwin D. Martin, who soon would climb the corporate ladder and become secretary himself, was hired to sell ( "sling ") soap door -to -door at 13 years of age. In 1885 Elbert Hubbard devised a business model, the "Larkin Idea," that fueled the company's explosive stage of growth. Hubbard's idea was to "save all cost which adds no value" by cutting out the "middlemen" of wholesalers and retailers, and selling soap and other household products via mail order directly to consumers ( "from factory to family "). What made this business model successful? First, the railroads created new efficiencies in shipment which, with reduced postal rates, made mail order economical, fast, and far - reaching. Second, was Darwin Martin's card ledger system, eschewing the standard chronological sales ledger with index cards of each customer. Third, there existed an untapped market of rural households with limited access to stores that could be effectively served by mail order. This market was cultivated by Larkin's offer of valuable "premiums," or gifts, to customers who purchased goods in bulk, and the organization of cooperative buying clubs called "Larkin Clubs of 10:' In 1885 the J.D. Larkin & Co. was located in a five -story factory containing 45,000 square feet of space, a figure which expanded exponentially over the next 30 years. In 1897, John D. Larkin established a policy that all existing buildings, and every future expansion, would be made fireproof and sunlit to ensure "cheerful and healthful" environments for plant workers. Between 1898 and 1913 —the time in which all extant Larkin factory buildings were constructed —the company's biggest building boom took place. Darwin D. Martin:, by 1906a Larkin executive, wrote of the "triumph" of the Larkin Idea in the company's tour pamphlet: This plan of marketing a manufacturer's product is not the fruit of a flash of individual intellect. The Larkin Idea stands for, is the name of, a unique plan of k` business that has been a gradual and intensely interesting development, extending over a third of a century. There is no presumption in assuming that the story of the Larkin Co. will be of interest to the public; for it is the story of success by honest endeavor —of American pioneer enterprise directed in new and untried channels —a theme of interest to every student of economy, to every business man, and to each of the millions of Larkin patrons, who have simultaneously benefited by and assisted in the wonderful development of the Larkin methods. It has a lesson of especial interest for every youth who is misled into believing that success is due to luck, time, place, "a good start,' or superior talents. It is not intended as a story of an easy path to wealth and ease; for there is none. This is history, and histories deal with facts. But, between the lines, it tells of the victory of rightly directed energy and of patient labor long continued; qualities at the command of all who are willing to pay the price of success. By 19o8, the Larkin Co. claimed to occupy the largest fireproof factory in the world, a "modern marvel, as the Buffalo Express stated, where a "trainload of soap could be made in a single kettle." The Administration Building, completed in 1906, and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, was its crowning glory. By 1913 the firm offered a 160 -page catalogue containing 600 products, and over 1,700 other articles offered as premiums. In 1919 the Larkin Co. logged its highest ever annual sales, more than $31 million, and John D. Larkin gave a personal tour of the plant to King Albert and Queen Elisabeth of Belgium. After 1919, the company experienced declining sales, due in no small measure to the introduction of the Ford Model T, which allowed formerly isolated rural customers to drive to town and shop in person for household products. Unlike Montgomery Ward and Sears & Roebuck, the Larkin Co. focused almost exclusively on its mail order -based strategy. John D. Larkin died in 1925, after which Darwin D. Martin and other key executives retired as the business became more tightly controlled by Larkin family members. When the Depression hit after 1929, it was too late for reinvention. The company's 1939 sales revenue represented a 93% drop from its peak in 1919. The Larkin Co. discontinued its mail order business in 1940, and in 1941 accelerated the liquidation of company assets. Despite the disintegration of the business, the Larkin Co. paid its debts in full by 1943. The company reorganized as Larkin Co., Inc. in 1945 and resumed operations at a substantially smaller scale, contracting to a single floor of the 10-story Larkin Terminal Warehouse. The company continued to do a modest mail order business until 1962. The Larkin Administration Building was sold as part of the liquidation in 1943, and ultimately demolished in 1950. The contents of the Larkin P Building was consumed by fire in 1954 and the building demolished in 1962. The rest of the Larkin plant, much of which has recently been repurposed for new uses, stands as of 2014. IV. Architectural Descriptions & Significance "If an engineer, meeting a special problem in a purely scientific way, produces a building of beauty, he has produced architecture." - G.H. Edgell,1928 The Larkin Co. complex is one of the finest collections of factory buildings from what architectural historian Reyner Banham called Buffalo's "Golden Age" of industrial architecture between 1895 and 1925. In spite of the loss of the Larkin Administration Building in 19$o, the remaining industrial N works of the Larkin Co. are a singularly important record of advances in industrial building design and construction from the late 19th to early loth centuries. The warehouse and factory buildings of the Larkin Co. include work by R.J. Reidpath & Son, a Buffalo engineering firm specializing in reinforced concrete buildings, whose resume included buildings for Alling & Cory, the Buffalo Foundry & Machine Co., and the Houk Mfg. Co.; and Lockwood, Greene, & Co., a Boston engineering firm whose local work included the Buffalo Meter Co. and Pierce Arrow Motor Car Co. factories. The industrial structures of the Larkin Co. span a transition from traditional brick -pier construction to the reinforced concrete framing of the daylight factory, which allowed for improved fireproofing, abundant access to natural light in the interior, and fast and efficient construction — hallmarks of modernity at a time in which architects, particularly from Europe, were searching for a new aesthetic. The Larkin Co. complex is a significant example of turn -of- the - century American factory and warehouse construction, which Le Corbusier hailed as "the first fruits of the New Age" The significance of such structures in the codification of the International Style, explored by Reyner Banham in A Concrete Atlantis: U.S. Industrial Building and European Modern Architecture, is difficult to overstate. 726 Exchange St. Larkin Terminal Warehouse R/S/T/Building Architect: Lockwood, Greene, & Co. Built: 1911 -1912 The Larkin Terminal Warehouse, at to stories and more than 600,000 square feet in floor area, was built in under one year, impressively quick at a time when horses were still common on the construction site. The Boston team of Lockwood, Greene, & Co. and Aberthaw Construction Co. was hired for the project. It is one of the country's most impressive early examples of reinforced concrete construction. The building is characterized by stacked stories, supported by exposed concrete columns. Large rectangles of glazing (originally steel sash, since replaced) filled the resulting grid. Precast concrete panels, located at each upper corner of the north and south facades, are emblazoned with the Larkin Co. logo. The building is an example of the "simplest, plainest, and most straight - forward expression of reinforced concrete framed construction," wrote Banham. "It is a totally self- assured design, as if architects had been designing in this mode for four centuries, instead of four years!" The post- and -beam interior frame is also seen on the exterior; indeed, that is all there is to see on the exterior, which is a relentlessly regular grid of concrete uprights and horizontals at regular intervals, interrupted only by the narrower and differently fenestrated bays that correspond to the elevator stacks. These breaks may be all that save the facades from utter monotony when viewed in their entirety, but what lifts the design from the tolerable to the noble is the quality of the detailing of the expressed structure. In the conventional uses of the term, there is no "detailing" whatsoever at R/S/T, but everywhere one looks there is evidence 0 of great care and ingenious thought in detailing with edges and corners, junctions and relationships of materials, and the proportioning of the whole. The building was —and as Banhmam noted, had to be— experimental, employing a unique form of concrete reinforcement, with preassembled steel lattices erected in two -story lifts to serve both as temporary scaffolding and reinforcement, when the concrete had been poured around it. The sand -and -stone gravel used in the reinforcing concrete was dredged from the Niagara River's Strawberry Island —one reason that Strawberry Island is no longer shaped like a strawberry. The warehouse was used primarily for storage of Larkin premiums, the ground floor devoted entirely to shipping and receiving platforms, with sufficient interior trackage for as many as 70 rail cars linked directly to tracks of the Erie Railroad. In 1936, the radio tower — itself a landmark visible miles away from the plant —was erected by WBEN on the Larkin Terminal Warehouse roof. In 1967, longtime tenant Graphic Controls Inc. —which still claims to be the world's leading manufacturer of recording charts — purchased the building from Larkin Warehouse Inc. Thirty years on, with the announcement that Graphic Controls would move to a purpose -built structure nearby, emptying the Larkin Terminal Warehouse, a prominent member of the Buffalo real estate community concluded that "Maybe the best thing to do is tear it down:' In 2002, the Larkin Development Company purchased the emptied colossus for $1 million, announcing ambitious plans to convert the structure to modern office space, a project completed to much acclaim and full tenancy. 290 Larkin St. L/M Building Designer: R.J. Reidpath & Son Built: 1904 The L/M Building was built in 1904 as the Larkin Co.'s raw materials warehouse, a seven -story structure of carefully - detailed, brick- arched construction, the idiom of those parts of the Larkin complex which were of brick - and -steel mill construction. The building contained the fat and oil refineries in which raw materials were stored and prepared, to be later converted into soap. These structures were 140' by 200' in area and seven stories in height. Much of the material arrived in tank cars and was pumped by compressed air into suitable containers. Materials were transferred via tunnels beneath Larkin St. to the main factory at 701 Seneca St. The L/M Building, wrote Banham, "exhibits still the Reidpaths' strong, simple, and craftsman- detailed brickwork at its best, a brickwork of almost Roman gravity and unaffected muscularity with soldier- arches spanning between pilasters over the windows:' Several bays appear to have featured larger door openings for hauling goods into the building through the use of large roof - mounted hoists, which are partially extant. After the sale of the property during the Larkin Co.'s liquidation, it was operated as the Wilson Warehouse, connected to the track& of the New York Central. In 2001, it became the home of Uncle Sam's Army Navy Outfitters, reputedly the largest such store in North America. 6 aa' 635 Seneca St. Larkin Power House/Building I Designer: R.J. Reidpath & Son Built: 1902 -1904 "From an architectural standpoint, there is nothing unlovely in the cylindrical rise of a chimney, towering 100 to 200 feet above the plant. Indeed, the stately shaft of a concrete or masonry chimney visible from afar is a monument to power development." - Power Plant Engineering, 1953 The Larkin Power House, designed by R.J. Reidpath & Son, was originally two stories, built in 1902, with an expansion to four stories in 1904. The structure is an archetype of the early loth century powerhouse of fireproof construction, originally with expansive windows with operable sash, plus a monitor roof over a mezzanine - encircled interior volume of impressive dimensions. Like other powerhouses, it is a two -part facility with separate rooms for boilers and engines, the division of space keeping coal dust away from the machinery and gauges in the engine room. A third area, for coal storage, was located at the rear of the powerhouse, adjacent to the tracks of the New York Central. The smokestack of the Power House punctuates the building and the entire Larkin works. The Larkin Co. boasted in 1903 that the "red -brick chimney will be in plain view of every passenger train entering the city." Tourists dubbed it the "Washing -ton Monument" a reference to the Larkin Co.'s role in soapmaking. With 50,000 tourists visiting the plant every year, the Power House was a highlight of the Larkin tour schedule and its 1906 tour pamphlet, Home of the Larkin Idea, which offers this description: The Larkin Power -House is equipped to furnish 10,00o horse - power. The stack is the highest in Buffalo, being 275 feet above bed -rock. The power by which the Larkin Factories are run is applied electrically, enough current being generated in the Power House to furnish light for a city of 25,000 inhabitants. There are 20 safety boilers of Soo horse -power each, and 125 tons of coal are consumed every twenty - four hours. So complete are the mechanical devices that the work of handling this immense quantity of coal and the cinders resulting from its consumption, is done by two men. One operates the great crane that lifts the coal from the pit into which it is dumped from the coal -cars and conveys it to a bin at the rear of the Power - House. From the bin the coal passes automatically into a trolley -car that runs to the different furnaces. This car's capacity is 2 1/2 tons. The furnaces are stoked automatically and as the coal is consumed, the cinders drop into a car that runs to the cinder pit. When the pit becomes full, it is emptied by the electric crane. A little steam engine attached to each furnace keeps the grate -bars gently rocking. This movement feeds coal into the fire from a magazine above the furnaces and dumps the cinders into cars in the basement. The scoop picks up a ton of coal at a time and makes the trip in a minute. Sixty tons of coal can be delivered into the Power -House every hour. D� Even after the introduction of alternating current electricity after 1896, it was common for industrial facilities to furnish their own steam - generated electric power, in Buffalo and elsewhere. Works powerhouses produced half the country's electricity prior to World War I. Today, the Power House is home to the natural gas boiler which supplies heat to the adjoining 701 Seneca St., via tunnels beneath Larkin St. 680 Seneca St. Site of the Larkin Administration Building/Building A Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright, with R.J. Reidpath & Son (consulting engineers) and Richard Bock (sculpture artist) Built: 1904 -1906 This address is the site of Frank Lloyd Wright's Larkin Administration Building, demolished in 1950, with the exception of a red -brick pier and reinforced concrete core from the western section of the Administration Building's encircling wall, near Swan St. and the tracks of the New York Central. Sub - surface artifacts likely also remain. Darwin D. Martin, the secretary of the Larkin Co., was responsible in 1903 for convincing John D. Larkin to hire Wright to design the factory's office building, thereby securing arguably Buffalo's most famous architectural commission. "At the risk of appearing to have been made intoxicated by my contact with Frank Lloyd Wright," Martin wrote to Larkin in 1903, "I do not hesitate to say at the outset of this, my report and interview of him, which lasted all day Mar. 18th, and of my visit to his houses on Mar. 14th, 15th and 18th, that I believe we have all greatly underestimated our man. This because of his youth, the newness of our acquaintanceship and its limitations and also because of the adverse things we have heard about Wright, which are due to his radical departure from conventional Iines:' The Administration Building housed the Larkin Co.'s executives, department heads, and 1,800 clerks. Skylit, fireproof, and air - purified, the structure was expressive of the Larkin Co: s progressive corporate culture. On the building's exterior was inscribed the motto: "Honest labor needs no master, simple justice needs no slaves" In his autobiography, Wright called the Administration Building "a genuine expression of power directly applied to purpose" that represented an "affirmation of the new Order of this Machine Age." The Larkin Co. sold the Administration Building in 1943 to L. B. Smith of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Smith, hoping to realize a tax evasion scheme, kept the building vacant until the City took title to the building through tax foreclosure in 1945. after which it became the City's biggest real estate problem, as chronicled by the Buffalo Evening News in 1947: Disposal of the city's "white elephant," the Larkin Company's old Administration Building at 680 Seneca St., remains the real estate puzzle, with no possibility of solution in sight. The five -story brick structure, once the most modern office building in the country, gradually is approaching a state in which it will be entirely useless. Every double paned window is shattered. The tall iron gate which graced the entrance has toppled from rusted hinges. The iron fence topping a low brick wall around the structure went into a wartime scrap collection. The Larkin Building, a headache to the city since it was acquired in tax foreclosure proceedings 8 WA June 15,1945, cost $4,000,000 to build and was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a nationally famous architect. Offers to purchase it for around $25,000, far less than its assessed valuation of $239,000, including land, have been turned down. A national advertising campaign that cost $6,00o brought inquiries but no offers. The state rejected a suggestion that the building be converted for emergency housing and the county took no action on a proposal to make it headquarters of the Welfare Department. In 1949 the Common Council defeated a proposal by Councilman Joe Dudzick to convert Administration Building to a recreation center. The City sold the building for $5,000 to the Western Trading Corp., a real estate holding company, on the condition that it be demolished. The demolition permit was granted on January 23,1950. Banham called the Administration Building the "most distinguished work of industrial architecture the world has seen up to that time, or has seen since:' The fence pier, and likely subsurface ruins, are all that remain of Wright's masterwork. 696 Seneca St. Larkin Men's Club, Sacred Heart Church Rectory Architect: Unknown Date: Circa 1890 696 Seneca St., built as a rectory, is the only remaining building from the original Hydraulics campus of Sacred Heart Church, a German - language Catholic parish established in 1875. It is brick and two- and - one -half stories. Built circa 1890, the rectory was repurposed by the Larkin Co. in 1915 as the Larkin Men's Club, a social hall for male employees of the plant. After the Larkin Co.'s liquidation, the building served variously as a tavern and/or rooming house until being purchased by the Larkin Development Group in 2011. 701 Seneca St. Larkin Factory, Larkin B/C/D/Dx/E/F/G/H/J/K/N/0 Buildings Designer: R.J. Reidpath (except for Building C, designed in -house by the Larkin Co.) Built: 1898-1913 "I envy the architects of purposeful industrial buildings. They have the opportunity to work out real buildings simultaneously, without self - consciousness. Of such buildings we have admirable examples in this country." - Frank Lloyd Wright, 1931 The main factory of the Larkin Co., consisting of 12 buildings constructed sequentially over 15 years, is where the hundreds of Larkin products —soap, perfumes, coffee, chocolate, pasta, etc. — were manufactured. The buildings range from six to eight stories, and occupy in total about 1.2 million square feet of floor area. Aside from the 1913 reconstruction of Building C, the structures' facades are designed in the regular Reidpath idiom of brick - and -steel mill construction, the brick now hidden under the concrete stucco of a 1962 modernization. Wrote Banham of the complex: 9 X� The vast floors exhibit perspectives of forests of columns as far as the eye can see, in places for almost six hundred feet. Unlike the Power House with its handsome airy double- height mezzanined boiler- rooms, 701 Seneca has no high spaces, except for the sensational Piranesian vistas at the western end, where six seven- story- high, 25- foot - diameter soap kettles were pulled out and replaced by vehicular ramps before World War II. This enormous industrial block was also, of course, the "context" in which Wright's work for the Larkin Company was seen. As the foreign visitor (and they started to arrive about 1908) came over the Seneca Street railroad bridge he would see the Administration Building low on the left, and the great brick cliff of 701 Seneca towering above it on the right and, what is more, apparently surrounding it, since the facade kinked to follow the line of the street, and effectively closed the vista. Building C stands out "against the grain of all the previous brick -pier construction by the Reidpaths on the 701 Seneca site,' wrote Banham. "The openings to the outside were glazed clear across from column to column and from the underside of the floor slab above down to a sill that topped a low brick spandrel wall just high enough to carry a hot water radiator. The environmental transformation wrought by this innovation could be seen at 701 Seneca as nowhere else in the world, because the fully glazed concrete insert of Building C was entirely surrounded by works in the former tradition —with windows tunneled through a massive brick wall —and one could walk through directly from the old into the new or vice versa" Building C's three bays of reinforced concrete, designed in -house by Larkin Co. engineers and contractors, not only give a "vivid demonstration of the gain in window area derived from the switch to framed construction," according to Banham. "However secure the former tradition, with its habits of adaptive pragmatism and its inherited vocabulary of architectural forms, may have appeared at the very beginning of the present century, it was to be overthrown by a genuine revolution in material and concepts between 1902 and 1906. The nature of that revolution and the profundity of its consequences are epitomized within the vast bulk of 701 Seneca." 239 Van Rensselear St. D. Ullman Sons, Larkin U Building, Duk -It Building Architect: Unknown Built: Circa 1893 The Larkin U Building, built in 1893, has been a recycling operation, a factory building for the Larkin Co., the home of Duk -It stationary manufacturer and beanbag ashtray inventor McDonald Products, and a factory for automotive parts manufacturer Par Ii oarn Products. It was originally constructed for D. Ullman Sons, an industrial salvage and recycling firm, owned and operated by one of Buffalo's prominent Jewish families. The firm relocated to the Van Rensselaer St. structure from its original location at the northwest corner of Oak and Broadway. Around 1911, the Larkin Co. purchased the building, rechristening it the Larkin U. The mail order company utilized the structure for various industrial purposes, including, for a time, its metal packaging operations, and built a bowling alley in its basement, connected by underground tunnel to the factories at 701 Seneca St. 10 ; McDonald Products, Inc. occupied the structure in 1946, and in 1951 it was taken over by Par Foam Products, maker of engineered foam products. The Larkin U Building is a classic brick loft structure constructed in the Romanesque Revival style. At three stories, the structure is a combination of brick masonry, cast iron columns, and wood plank floors. In 2011, the Larkin Development Group renovated the structure for offices for First Niagara Bank. During the renovation, in which red paint was stripped from the brick facade, ghost signs were revealed on the building's south facade: one for D. Ullman Sons, and another for McDonald Products, with its signature "duck" logo. V. Conclusion Per Section 337.15 (Criteria for Designation) of the Buffalo City Code, the Preservation Board determines that the properties at the addresses listed above meet multiple criteria for designation as a Local Landmark District: 1. The Larkin Co. complex has surpassing national value, character, and interest as a late 19th century and early 20th century cultural landscape comprising the industrial plant of one of the largest mail -order corporations in America. It was built on the first rail line to connect Buffalo with the Hudson River, and typifies the railroad -era industrial complex. It provides, according to architectural historian Reyner Banham, "a kind of monumental history of American industrial architecture on either side of the changeover from regular mill construction to concrete." 3. The buildings and sites exemplify the historic, aesthetic, architectural, and economic heritage of Buffalo and the nation. The massive brick -pier industrial lofts, daylight factory, and the extended limestone foundations in a railroad -era landscape have significant educational and cultural value. 4. The buildings and sites are identified with national and local figures, such as John D. Larkin, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert J. Reidpath, Elbert Hubbard, and Darwin D. Martin. 5. The buildings and sites embody distinguishing characteristics of brick-pier and reinforced concrete construction in industrial applications, rendering it valuable for the study of its period, type, method of construction, and use of local materials. 6. The site contains the subsurface remnants of master architect Frank Lloyd Wright's world - famous Larkin Administration Building, as well as a pier and core of its enclosing wall. The L &M Building, the Power House, and 701 Seneca St. constitute the largest collection of work by engineering firm R.J. Reidpath & Son. 7. The buildings and sites embody "a genuine revolution in material and concepts between 1902 and 1906" (Banham). The Larkin Complex was built over a short period during which the transition from brick pier construction to reinforced concrete in factory design took place. The detailing of the stone foundations, brick piers and walls, and exposed reinforced concrete framing is exceptional. 11 ):� g. The buildings loom large on the Buffalo landscape, by virtue of their size, bulk, and relationship to each other and the surrounding city. Its Power House, with tall chimney (once 275 feet taIl), signified entry into downtown Buffalo for generations of rail passengers, while eastbound travelers on Seneca Street could orient and place themselves by means of the landmark Power House. Travelers on the New York State Thruway, which runs parallel to the main axis of the Larkin Complex, can see and readily identify the entire complex from the south. Sources Banham, Reyner.

DEPARTMENT HEAD: Mark J. F. Schroeder TITLE: Comptroller SIGNATURE: RE CEIVED AND FILED �e lY CITY OF BUFFALO DEPARTMENT OF AUDIT AND CONTROL AUDIT REPORT PAYROLL PROCEDURES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES ANNE FORTI- SCIARRINO FIRST DEPUTY COMPTROLLER KEVIN J. KAUFMAN, CPA CITY AUDITOR APRIL 2014 MARK J.F. SCHROEDER COMPTROLLER Preface In accordance with the goals set forth in the Annual Audit Plan, we conducted an audit of the payroll and payroll processing functions within the City of Buffalo Department of Community Services and Recreational Programming. The audit covered the time period from July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. The City Charter lists the following controls over the payroll process. Section 16 -5a., states "a claim for salary or wages of a person in the employ of a City agency shall be set forth in a written payroll, on the forms approved by the Comptroller, prepared and certified as correct by the head of the City agency." Section 16 -5b.; states "Each Payroll shall be supported by a written timesheet prepared on forms approved by the Comptroller and certified as correct by a person having knowledge of the facts." The Department of Community Services and Recreational Programming's goals are to achieve and firmly establish for the residents of the City of Buffalo, a habitat conducive to personal well- being, advance the equality of opportunity and improve quality of life in the City of Buffalo through the creation and execution of a comprehensive plan for development and implementation of human service programs and projects. To achieve these goals the Department staff consists of 28 employees and has an annual payroll budget of $1.6 million. The Department is broken up into different divisions: Division for Seniors, Division of Youth, Commission of Citizens Rights, Recreational Programming, Workforce Employment and Training, and the administrative staff. Audit Objectives The objectives of the audit are to document and evaluate the internal controls of the payroll process within the Department of Community Services and to determine the accuracy and validity of the payroll transactions within the Department. To achieve these objectives the following procedures were performed: • Interview personnel involved in the payroll process and document payroll procedures in place including internal controls. • Review employee timesheets and determine if hours recorded agree to hours paid. • Verify that hours recorded on timesheets are reviewed and approved by a supervisor. • Determine if paid time off (PTO) is properly tracked and approved by a supervisor. Audit Findings 1. Payroll Procedures After interviewing personnel the following payroll procedures were noted. Each staff member is responsible for filling out their time sheet on a daily basis. When an employee calls off, they are instructed to call their timekeeper who records it in the timekeeper's log book. Bi- weekly the timekeeper submits timesheets along with paid time off (PTO) and auto allowance paperwork to be signed off by the Deputy Commissioner or the Direct Supervisor in each division. Once signed off, the timekeeper enters the hours into the Timekeeper Software (TK Software). Once the timekeeper inputs the bi- weekly payroll, the Group Report for the pay period is generated. The Group Report summarizes employee hours for the pay period. The Group Report along with a Certification of Payroll form is forward to the Deputy Commissioner for review and approval. The Group Report is then submitted to the Payrolt/Audit department for review. 2. Timesheets Not Uniform There is not a standardized timesheet utilized throughout the department. The timekeeper has to review timesheets in several different formats to compile the payroll data. 3. Timesheets Not Complete Timesheets were not completely filled out by employees. All timesheets were handwritten. Many timesheets did not document total hours worked. There were instances where employees would sign in and not sign out, or not sign in at all, It was often unclear if employees left the office to work at a different location, if time off was engaged, or if work was performed. In these instances, employees were still compensated for the entire day, even though there is no documentation that an entire day was worked. 4. Supervisor Approval Not Documented All timesheets have a field for approval by a supervisor. The majority of employee timesheets were not signed by a supervisor. Therefore, it is unknown if supervisor review and approval occurred. 5. Review and Approval of PTO by a Supervisor Does Not Match the Group Report The authorization for time off form is used to track PTO (PTO Form). The PTO form should match the paystub, the Group Report, and have a supervisor's signature. There was an instance where more sick time was recorded on the paystub than on the PTO Form. 6. Timesheets Do Not Agree to Paystubs There were occurrences where hours recorded on timesheets do not agree to paystubs. This was mainly due to incomplete timesheets being submitted to the timekeeper. 2 V 9 7. Exempt Employees Timesheets Exempt employees were not consistent in submitting timesheets with the timekeeper. This group of employees is subject to the requirements listed in Section 16 -5 of the City Charter requiring timesheets to be filed. Audit Recommendations 1. Automate Time Entry System Conduct an evaluation of the cost/benefit of adopting a standardized automated time entry system whereby employees enter their own time worked via hand scanner, time clock or other means. Such a system should improve efficiency in the payroll process and reduce the risks of data entry errors and fraudulent transactions. 2. Use of a Standardized Timesheet Until an automated time system is in place, a standardized timesheet must be utilized throughout the Department. The timesheet must be an accurate and complete record of hours worked and match to paystub. (See Exhibit A) 3. Timesheets Must Be Certified In accordance with Chapter 16 -5 of the Charter of the City of Buffalo, timesheets must be certified as correct by a person having knowledge of the facts. At the conclusion of each pay period, the employee and supervisor should be required to document the accuracy of the timesheet. A certification of accuracy, containing an original signature of both the employee and supervisor would provide sufficient documentation. Not requiring this hinders accountability of employees as to work performed. 4. Document Authorization of PTO Hours The timekeeper should only enter the PTO hours in TK Software after reviewing documentation of authorization by supervisor and sign -off by employee. 5. All Employees Required to Complete Timesheets All employees should complete timesheets as required by Chapter 16.5 of the Charter of the City of Buffalo, including exempt employees. The department timekeeper would then be able to ensure that all time is accounted for, before entering the hours into the Timekeeper software. 3 Department of Community Service r Pay period start date: 3/1012014 Pay period end date: " 3123!2014 Biweekly Time Sheet Employee: Division: Supervisor: Employee signature - i hereby certify under penalty of perjury that I hove worked splay for the City of Buffalo during all the hours fisted on this Date timesheet.

When we raise capital funds by selling bonds, it is reasonable to anticipate that all of the projects will proceed quickly and binding commitments for the completion of the projects will be entered into in a timely manner. Every project listed below has a balance of funds too low to fund any remaining projects as defined within the adopted resolution. Proceeds of bonds not expended for the object or purpose for which the bonds were sold must be applied to the payment of principal and interest on such bonds (Local Finance Law — Section 165.00) The attached list replaces the list submitted to the council on May 7, 2014. The accounts listed on the attachment have either: 1) A balance of funds too small to proceed with a Capital Project 2) No further commitments 3) Will not be used per resolution definition of project 4) Had no activity for number of years, or 5) Have never been used Account #: Various — See Attached DEPARTMENT HEAD TITLE: SIGNATURE: Account Name Various — See Attached Mark J.F.

This provides an opportunity to check on whether the recommendations have been followed, and to what extent. Attached please find the Follow Up to the 2013 Audit Report on Common Council Discretionary Funds. DEPARTMENT HEAD: Mark J. F. Schroeder TITLE: Comptroller .`r-- SIGNATURE: J RECEIVED AND FILED ON /f k CITY OF BUFFALO DEPARTMENT OF AUDIT AND CONTROL FOLLOW UP TO AUDIT REPORT ON COMMON COUNCIL DISCRETIONARY FUNDS ISSUED FEBRUARY 2013 MARK J.F. SCHROEDER COMPTROLLER ANNE FORTI- SCIARRINO FIRST DEPUTY COMPTROLLER KEVIN J. KAUFMAN, CPA CITY AUDITOR APRIL 2014 fl� Overview This report is a follow up to the February 2013 Audit Report on the Common Council Discretionary Funds. Discretionary funds are appropriated from the City of Buffalo (the "City ") general fund and expended at the discretion of the Common' Council Members. The funds are designated to benefit the community in various ways including community outreach, civic participation, recreational youth services and senior services. As a result of the audit, several recommendations were made. This report will provide an update on the implementation of the audit recommendations. The following terms will be used throughout the audit follow -up report: Audit Recommendation - recommendation from the original audit. Auditor Comments — commentary provided by Division of Audit related to original audit recommendations, department response and additional procedures performed for the audit follow -up report. Status of Significant Audit Report Recommendations Separate line item in Budget for Discretionary Funds Audit Recommendation: It was recommended that a separate line item be created in the City Clerk's budget for Discretionary Funds in order to create greater transparency and increase accountability. The account previously used was, "Other Contractual Service," 10220006- 434000. Auditor Comments: In the Fiscal Year 2013 -2014 Budget, a separate general ledger account titled "CC Neighborhood Initiatives" was established with a budget of $1,098,000. Additionally "Other Contractual Service" has no amount budgeted. Therefore, this recommendation has been implemented. Standardized Grant Application for Discretionary Funds Audit Recommendation: It was recommended that grant contracts contain a specific purpose and plan for use of the Discretionary Funds being awarded. It was also recommended that Discretionary Funds be reimbursed rather than received in advance to verify that the funds are only used for allowable costs. Auditor Comments: In reviewing the contracts processed for Discretionary Funds, the Audit Department has noticed the purpose of some contracts is more specific, but there can still be improvement, as many contracts purpose is "community betterment" or "community development ". If a specific description for use of funds was stated in the contract, an easy and objective determination of allowable costs could be made. The Discretionary Fund Policy requires contracts to contain a list of deliverables or scope of services. We recommend stricter enforcement of this policy. -1� After a meeting subsequent to the original audit between the Comptroller's office and then Council President Richard Fontana, it was agreed that requiring the Discretionary Funds to reimburse costs incurred by agencies receiving funds would create a cash flow hardship for many agencies. It was agreed that an amount not to exceed $30,000 could be advanced to an agency, but documentation supporting proper use of discretionary funds must be provided prior to an agency receiving additional funding. This policy has been followed consistently since its implementation. Conflict of Interest Disclosure for Discretionary Funds Audit Recommendation: It was recommended that all officers of agencies receiving Discretionary Funds file conflict of interest forms indicating any relationship that would be considered a conflict of interest. Auditor Comments: Included in the updated Discretionary Fund Policy is a requirement that all conflicts of interest be disclosed. It is believed that this policy is being observed. Conclusion It appears that most of recommendations from the audit performed in the prior year have been addressed. The Department of Audit and Control and Councilmembers have worked together to ensure Discretionary Funds are used in accordance with the Guidelines establish by the Council at the request of the Comptroller and that the audit recommendations have been implemented and adhered to. Improvement to the process can still be made. One item that needs improvement is better communication to the recipients of specific use the funds and what measurable outputs need be achieved to continue to receive discretionary funds. r% COMMIT Council CITY OF BUFFALO OFFICE OF THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT DARIUS G.

Superfund site in the area. The Buffalo Lupus Project, a CBPR partnership between the Toxic Waste /Lupus Coalition and UB, was formed to address these questions. A major accomplishment of the partnership was successful advocacy for site clean -up. Prior to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) public meeting on remediation of the 858 East Ferry Superfund site, a newsletter was disseminated to over 500 community members in an effort to educate them about the Site and remediation options and encourage them to participate in the meeting, voice concerns, and ask questions. Over 50 people attended the meeting, and the remediation plan suggested by the community was adopted by the DEC. Additionally, when the Erie County Legislature canceled the childhood lead poisoning testing program in Buffalo, NY, the Toxic Waste /Lupus Coalition got over 27 block clubs, churches, community organizations; and environmental organizations to sign on to .a letter and loco community members to call County legislators requesting that they replace the funding.

It would not be appropriate for the Department of Motor Vehicles to comment on whether a particular company has committed a violation of the Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) or the Commissioner's Regulations, particularly since we do not have all of the information about this matter. In addition, we defer to the Department of Financial Services about issues related to insurance fraud. Section 370(1) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law does require a "person, firm, association or corporation engaged in the business of carrying or transporting passengers for hire in any motor vehicle" to have for -hire insurance policy set forth in such section. if'an entity fails to carry such insurance, when appropriate, a law enforcement officer may issue a ticket for a violation of such section of law. If the entity made a false statement on an application for registration, such entity could be prosecuted in a court of law or be subject to a false statement hearing, pursuant to VTL §392, before a DMV Administrative Law Judge. Section 501(2)(a)(v) of the VTL provides: "(v) Class E. Such license shall be valid to operate only vehicles which may be operated with a class D license, except that in addition it shall be valid to operate any such motor vehicle, other than a vehicle defined as a bus in subdivision one of section five hundred nine -a of this chapter, used to transport up to fourteen passengers for hire." X21 Under this section, the operator of a taxi or livery must hold a class E license. The VTL requires that all motor vehicles operating in this State carry the appropriate insurance. We share your concern that motor vehicles carrying passengers for compensation carry for -hire insurance and that the operators of such vehicles carry the appropriate license. Thank you for seeking the Department's comments on this important matter. Very truly yours, Ida L, Traschen First Assistant Counsel w R, May 22, 2014 Mr. Darius G. Pridgen- Council President Buffalo Common Council 1408 City Hall Buffalo, NY 14202 Appeal of City of Buffalo Historic Preservation Board Decision Verizon Communications - Facility Modifications 65 Franklin Street Buffalo, NY 14202 Dear Council President Pridgen: Please accept this letter as the formal appeal by our client and owner of the building in question, Verizon. Communications, of the decision by the City.of Buffalo Historic Preservation Board on May 8, 2014 to deny approval of a project undertaken by Verizon to upgrade and modify their 65 Franklin Street facility. GHD is providing the engineering services for the project for Verizon. We are enclosing the following documents to provide a better understanding of the situation and our appeal, and to provide options to modify the project. Exhibit A- Historic Preservation Board meeting minutes of May 8, 2014 Exhibit B- Aerial view of building and block Exhibit C- Currently designed floor plan Exhibit D- North building facade Exhibit E- East Building faoade Exhibit F- South Building facade Exhibit G- West building facade Exhibit H- Proposed modified floor plan Exhibits I and J- Proposed modified building facades The project involves significant interior modifications and installation of equipment on the existing 7 th floor to support an upgrade to Verizon's abilities to provide communications services to its clients in the region and is a significant investment in their infrastructure. To insure performance and protect their new equipment, the upgrades also include additional cooling, ventilation, and exhausting systems that require installation of louvers on the exterior of the building. The engineering drawings currently developed for the project included removal of existing windows and installation of the required louvers on the north and east facades of the building, as shown on the attached floor plan, Exhibit C. An access door for equipment installation (and future removal) was also proposed for one of the south facing facades, as shown on the attached floor plan, Exhibit C. The north facade faces Church Street and the east faoade faces the west side of an existing structure which fronts on Pearl Street. One of the north facing facades, where louvers were proposed to be installed for cooling units labeled DC -1 and DC-2 on the drawing, is set back from Church Street approximately 130 feet.. The south facade where the access door was proposed to be installed is approximately 250 feet from W Swan Street. Exhibits D, E, F show the building facades where louvers and the access door were proposed for installation. In summary, three louvers were proposed for the north facade fronting directly on Church Street, one louver was proposed on the east facade, two were proposed on the setback north facade, and one access door was proposed to be installed on the setback south facade. The existing main 16 -story structure was originally constructed about 1911. It has been modified multiple times. Additions include a 9 -story structure that is directly connected to the original structure. Work under the project occurs in both the original structure and the 9 -story addition. At some point in the life of the GHD Consulting Services Inc. 200 John James Audubon Pkwy, Suite 101, Amherst, NY 14228 USA IQ T 1 716 691 8503 F 1 716 691 8606 E amherst@ghd.com w www.ghd.com t Mr. Darius G. Pridgen May 22, 2014 Page 2 Verizon — Buffalo, NY Facility Modifications GHD No. 3711111 facility, several louvers were installed in multiple locations on the exterior of the structure, and are still in place on portions of the east, west, and south facades and the setback north face facade. No louvers currently exist 1� on the north fagade that fronts directly on Church Street. The attached Preservation Board meeting minutes (Exhibit A) do not identify any specific part of the proposed work that is unacceptable but rejected the entice project. We contacted the Preservation Board to obtain more detailed information, but none could be provided. With the belief that the objection likely lies with any portion of the structure that directly fronts the adjacent streets, and with the intent to limit installation of louvers for any portion of the structure that can be seen from the directly adjacent streets or beyond, Verizon is proposing to modify the project as much as possible to achieve those goals, while considering both the engineering practicality and economics. As shown on the attached Exhibit H,. the three louvers on the north fagade directly fronting Church Street have ' been eliminated. This change allows this fagade to remain as is and without louvers. An existing window on the south fagade that is blocked from view from any street, and is adjacent to other existing louvers, will be utilized to install a new louver that will "replace" the other two louvers deleted from the north face. Exhibits and J show the facades where these proposed louvers #1, #3 and #4 will be installed. Louver #2 is not shown because the portion of the building where it would be installed cannot be seen from street view. The access door will also be eliminated. In summary, the louvers necessary to serve this project are proposed to be installed on facades that currently have existing louvers installed, and are either setback a significant distance or have limited visibility from the street. The equipment necessary to serve the upgraded and new facilities for this project must be installed in reasonable proximity to the areas being served. It is GHD's professional opinion that locating equipment on the building roof top is not a desirable option as it creates unsightly views from adjacent buildings. Also, tremendous cost increases would be realized by Verizon to locate equipment on the rooftops, as ductwork and piping would need to extend down into the building to the new spaces, through several floors. This routing of duct and pipe would occur through existing equipment and personnel intensive spaces, at minimum reducing usable building space and would be very difficult to construct. The modifications proposed by Verizon are reasonable given the current conditions of the existing structure. They also preserve the original integrity and historic features of the north fagade on Church Street while allowing Verizon to upgrade their facilities and services which provides economic benefits to the City andthe region. The services that Verizon provides are critical to the health, stability and competitiveness of the businesses in the region. We respectfully request the Council approve the modified plans and reverse the Preservation Board determination so that Verizon can move forward with this very important project. We are available to discuss the details of the appeal or answer any questions. Please advise us of the scheduling of a public hearing on this matter. Very truly yours, GHD Consulting Services C.

DEPARTMENT OF January 2008 taboo Environmental Cleanup Activities Completed' NEW at the 858 East. Ferry Street Site ENVIRONMENTAL 1 Site # 9-15-175 Buttalo, En e oun INTRODUCTION The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is pleased to announce the recent completion of environmental cleanup activities at the inactive hazardous waste disposal site located at 858 East Ferry Street in Buffalo, Erie County (see adjacent figure). Cleanup efforts .at the site were completed by DEC through New York State's Superfund Program, which funds the investigation and cleanup of inactive hazardous waste disposal sites throughout the state. Cleanup costs exceeded $9.5 million. SITE BACKGROUND The East Ferry Site is a triangular shaped 21 acre area situated on the north side of East Ferry Street and zoned as industrial. The site is bordered on the north by an elevated railroad embankment, on the other side of which sit other industrial properties. Grider Street and a small store lie to the east, while True Bethel Baptist Church lies to the south. Under the Environmental Restoration Program (ERP), the City of Buffalo completed an investigation in 1997 -1998. Historic property maps :showed that the Michael Heyman Company operated a zinc and lead smelting and refining facility at the property now occupied by the TNT used auto. lot. High concentrations of lead were detected in the ash and fill-found on the site. Based on the results of this investigation, DEC issued a Record of Decision (ROD) in March 1999. The selected remedy. included the excavation and off -site disposal of hazardous waste and contaminated soil. The ROD also stated that the remedy would be deferred until further investigation was conducted to the west of the site to define the extent of contamination. In 2001 and 2004, DEC conducted off -site investigations, and the results indicated that the contamination extended to the west beyond the TNT auto lot and into several other industrial and commercial properties. Based on the new data, the volume of contaminated soil was significantly larger than the volume estimated in the ROD. .However, tests indicated that the compounds found in groundwater did not exceed groundwater standards. This new information prompted DEC to amend the 1999 ROD and establish more extensive clean up goals to enable unrestricted industrial/commercial use of the site consistent with current zoning for off. site properties. DETAILS OF THE SITE CLEANUP The cleanup design for the site was completed in 2006 and the contract for cleanup activities was awarded in August 2006 to National Environmental Services of Bloomington, Indiana. Environmental cleanup work at the site began in September 2006 and was completed in November 2007. All construction work was performed under full -time oversight by URS Corporation, the. engineering consultant hired by DEC. In addition, the NYS Department of Health Community Air Monitoring Plan, the DEC Health and Safety Specifications and the contractor's Health and Safety plan for the work were followed to ensure that onsite workers and the nearby community were protected during site cleanup activities. As part of the Community Air Monitoring Plan, dust levels were continuously monitored at four locations surrounding the site during excavation activities. The cleanup activities included: • Excavating, treating, stabilizing and transporting 136, 234 tons of lead- contaminated soil to an offsite facility; • Testing over 313 soil samples for lead and confirming achievement of cleanup goals within the excavation;. • Replacing the excavations with 104,156 cubic yards of clean fill; • Excavating and disposing 77 cubic yards of PCB soils at an offsite facility; • Removing 51 tons of old tires and disposing them at an offsite facility; • Excavating and crushing 2,231 tons of concrete and disposing it at an offsite facility; • Removing 28 tons of construction and demolition (C &D) debris and disposing it at an offsite facility; • Securing the site by replacing old fence and installing over 4050 feet of new fence; • Applying over 20,000 square yards of topsoil, mulch and seed to restore grass at the site; • Restoring roadways, driveways and parking areas affected by remedial work; • Reinstalling 4 of the 6 groundwater monitoring wells decommissioned during the remedial work; and • Removing and cleaning 2 underground storage tanks (USTs) containing fuel oil and disposing offsite. During cleanup activities, all truck traffic associated with excavation and off -site disposal activities was limited to the East Ferry Street truck route. The contractor kept the transportation route clean of all site - related soils and fill material. DEC awarded a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) for the amount of $50,000 to True Bethel Baptist Church. The grant helped the recipient understand existing environmental data on the site, comment on remedial proposals and activities, and share information with the public. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT DEC will prepare and finalize the engineering certification report in preparation for reclassification of the site on the Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste.Disposal Sites. Groundwater will continue to be monitored, and the City of Buffalo will ensure that offsite properties remain zoned for commercial /industrial use. LOCATIONS TO VIEW PROJECT DOCUMENTS Detailed project documents are available at the locations listed below. Once finalized, a copy of the cleanup certification report will also be placed at these locations. The engineering certification report should be available by late winter 2008.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Resolution was properly adopted by the Common Council at its regularly scheduled meeting, the date of which is listed above. AIJOPU4 2 Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 2 - .Identification of Potential Project Impacts Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer "Yes" to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer "No" to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box "Moderate to large impact may occur." • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub - questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the "whole action ". • Consider the possibility for long -term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the auestion in areasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

Other impacts: ❑ ❑ PRINT FULL FORM Page 10 of 10 Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts and Determination of Significance Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. • Attach additional sheets, as needed. Concerning Section 1 of Part 2, the proposed action will involve construction on land where the depth to the watertable is recorded as being less than 3 feel. The specific portion of the project that is of concern is the installation of a 3'x6' concrete pad on grade to be place outdoor Equipment Cabinets. This action triggers no other issues listed in section. 1. As the pad will be installed on grade, and the fact that the surrounding area has already been developed into a gravel yard, it can be assured the proposed action will have no additional ramifications. Determination of Significance - Type 1 and Unlisted Actions SEQR Status: ❑ Type 1 ©Unlisted Identify portions of EAF completed for this Project: 0 Part 1 © Part 2 © Part 3 �p Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF, as noted, plus this additional support information and considering both the magnitude and importance of each identified potential impact, it is the conclusion s lead agency that: © A. This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued. ❑ B.

McCarthy I News Political Reporter on April 30, 2014 - 7:27 PM An ambitious plan to sell the former Port of Buffalo complex on the outer harbor to a Canadian furniture manufacturer — and create 25o new jobs — is dead. Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority officials acknowledged late Wednesday that efforts dating from last September to sell the property for $4.7 million to Gracious Living Corp. of Woodbridge, Ont., collapsed at the 5 p.m. deadline. Authority spokesman C. Douglas Hartmayer would offer no specifics on why the deal fell through, although NFTA officials have previously indicated Gracious Living was conducting extensive environmental inspections of the cavernous buildings that once housed Ford Motor Co. facilities. "The nature of the deal was complicated with many moving parts," Hartmayer said. "They just weren't ready to complete the deal within a reasonable time frame." Though the project was announced last September with great fanfare by Empire State Development Corp. — accompanied by comments from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo — it seemed plagued by problems from the outset. The NFTA already had granted two previous extensions — 3o and bo days — to allow Gracious Living to answer all its questions. The company approached the authority Wednesday with another extension request, Hartmayer said, and this one was denied. "We have opted not to extend this exclusive arrangement any further," he said, adding that negotiations continued almost until the deadline. "We were not interested after the two previous extensions," Hartmayer said. The NFTA had unsuccessfully tried for years to sell the property through an aggressive marketing program. Hartmayer said that it will revive those efforts soon by issuing a new request for proposals, or RFP, by prospective buyers. "We will place the property back on the market shortly, especially in light of numerous buyers expressing interest in the property," he said. Gracious Living President Enzo Macri did not return a call seeking comment. The company's original aim to expand in Buffalo took advantage of economic incentives offered by New York State, which it cited in September as helpful. Empire State Development offered $2 million in performance -based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits in return for the company's job - creation commitments. Now the failure to sell the property looms as a bitter disappointment for the NFTA, which already has negotiated the sale of the rest of its vast holdings on the outer harbor to two state agencies — Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. and the state parks system. Selling the remaining 5o acres to the Toronto -area maker of outdoor furniture and other products was deemed a crucial move, even though the waterfront land would have been conveyed to a private rather than a public entity. The move also was viewed with great anticipation within the NFTA because it offered a way to achieve its long -held goal of getting out of the waterfront property management business. In announcing the deal last September, NFTA Chairman Howard A. Zemsky said, "We're extremely excited and proud. It's a great final chapter for the NFTA and the waterfront — the last piece of the puzzle." Hartmayer said Zemsky was among those on the NFTA team trying to negotiate a last - minute deal, citing the chairman's "extensive background in real estate development." "He took a real interest in this," Hartmayer said. But now the NFTA appears saddled with one remaining parcel that it has tried for years to market, despite attractive features such as 400,000 square feet of warehousing and office space, high bay doors, rail and water access, and parking for 500 vehicles. Hartmayer acknowledged that the NFTA now must continue to deal with the huge complex, even as it transfers the rest of the vast outer harbor lands to the state. The parcel, known as the "port terminal complex," never seemed to fit into the state's new but as yet undetermined plans. But now the future of the port terminal complex must be addressed. Hartmayer acknowledged that "all options are on the table." "Anybody is open to responding to the RFP, whether public or private," he said. He also said the NFTA was not depending on proceeds from the sale to balance its 2014 -15 operating budget because the anticipated $4.7 million was slated for the capital reserve fund. Gracious Living had hoped to establish its first U.S. location, as well as access to the huge American market, and originally looked to be operating by late this year. The company makes outdoor furniture, indoor and outdoor organizing products, garage utility systems and pet accessories sold in big -box stores. It operates two manufacturing facilities in suburban Toronto employing about 1,000 people and lists $loo million in sales. Macri said last September that the company was looking forward to expanding on the Buffalo waterfront and expected to invest tens of millions of dollars into rehabilitating the vacant buildings and installing new plastic injection machinery. He also said Gracious Living was primarily attracted to the location by its proximity to Toronto, and all along had set its sights on Buffalo. At the time he also said that another attraction was access to highway, rail and even water, adding that the company planned to look into the use of former port facilities for maritime shipping. email: rmccarthy @buffnews.com OtA DEMONS A.

Smith Majority Leader Masten District Council Member Enclosure: "Electronic Nicotine Delivery Devices and Their Potential Health Risks" DAS:me i. t 1 Electronic Nicotine Delivery Devices and Their Potential Health Risks By Malcolm Aaron Ertha 19 May 2014 I. Introduction Legislatures across the country are considering bans or restrictions on use of electronic nicotine delivery devices (ENDDs): While many generally agree that more research is needed on the subject, saying so should not be a reason to disregard.the data that is already available. As we move forward with proposals to restrict the use of ENDDs in The City of Buffalo, it is important to review all available facts and have an idea of just what it is that we are restricting and why. . This is merely a briefing paper and I have tried to keep it as neutral as possible. If there were any advocacy to be found here, it would be a middle ground of viewing ENDDs as a tool for harm - reduction. However, this suggestion is contained to the "Alternative Perspectives" section of the paper. Such perspectives aside, what follows is a presentation of facts and discussions on vaping: viewed on its own and as compared to smoking. II. Back round Any discussion that includes scientific analyses should begin with a definition of terms. As ENDD use is often compared to smoking of traditional tobacco cigarettes, understanding ENDDs should then start by identifying exactly what a traditional tobacco cigarette is. A. Tobacco Cigarettes There are hundreds of ingredients in cigarettes (Cancer Research UK, 2009). Other than shredded tobacco, the majority of ingredients are divided between additives to the tobacco and the paper in which it is wrapped. Such additives include synthetic chemicals such as propylene glycol. However, an unlit cigarette, with its myriad of ingredients, is effectively harmless. The true dangers are in the smoke inhaled and exhaled by the user or bystanders. 1. Smoke Some of the chemicals and gases regularly found in tobacco smoke, regardless of brand, include acetone, ammonia, arsenic, benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, nicotine, and tar (American Lung Association, 2014). Smoke kills overtime by a combination of thermal damage, pulmonary irritation, and poisoning. The most significant group of carcinogens in tobacco is volatile nitrosamines. However, no one is addicted to nitrosamines, benzene, ortar. What makes cigarettes addictive is nicotine, naturally found in tobacco, and carried via smoke into the lungs of a smoker. 2. Nicotine Nicotine acts on the acetylcholine receptors in the brain, stimulating and regulating the release of a slew of brain chemicals, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine (Graham, 2007). �6� K Reaching the brain within ten seconds after smoke is inhaled (USDHHS, 2004), nicotine is a highly addictive psychoactive drug that has the same side effects as caffeine, another psychoactive "upper". "Both caffeine and nicotine can raise.the heart rate, cause nausea, and even kill, but only in extraordinarily high doses that are hard to. come by" (Hollander, 2013). The greatest damage done by continued exposure to nicotine comes from its carcinogenic nitrosamines. Nicotine can be absorbed through the skin. In small doses, the traces of nicotine found in vapors can land on the skin of bystanders. However, these amounts are miniscule and this effect is unlikely, especially if the person vaping is in a well - ventilated area (Schripp, et al., 2013, McAuley, 2012). B. Electronic Nicotine Delivery Device (ENDD) So what is an e- cigarette? It is difficult to call these devices e- cigarettes because they are not at all cigarettes. "Tobacco is what makes regular cigarettes so harmful to health. [ENDDs] do not contain tobacco" (Sugerman, 2014). They do not burn and they do not produce smoke. The term Electronic Nicotine Delivery Device is a more neutral term. However, even that can be incorrect, as many capsules of the liquid solution used in them do not contain nicotine at all. Nevertheless, to reduce the emotional arguments against these devices, this paper will continue to use the abbreviation ENDD. An ENDD is an electronic inhaler. It utilizes a heating element that vaporizes a liquid solution containing chemicals for formulation and flavor. The recipes for these liquid solutions vary most amongst the more esoteric brands and some people have even begun "hacking" their own — mixing flavors in a custom chemical cocktail. Nicotine content is commercially available at various percentages, including zero. There are many nicotine -free versions available in stores today. 1. Vapor Studies show that, although volatile organic compounds and nitrosamines often associated with tobacco smoke were present in nicotine laced ENDD vapor, "for all of the samples [sic], average volatile organic compound concentrations measured... were below the limit of detection with limited exceptions (McAuley, 2012). Another study does report adverse physiological effects after the short -term use of EENDDs] (Vardavas et al., 2011). However, these effects were mild and "attributed to propylene glycol that is known to cause upper airway irritations" (Wieslander et al., 2001). 2. Propylene Glycol It is interesting that the FDA, when asked about propylene glycol on its own, classifies the liquid as "Generally Regarded As Safe ". However, ENDDs and their liquid capsules could never get a GRAS rating as the FDA.even tried to ban import of ENDDs to America altogether. Propylene Glycol is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. It is used by the chemical, � food, and pharmaceutical industries as antifreeze when leakage might lead to contact with food. The FDA has classified propylene glycol as an additive that for use in food. It is a solvent for food colors and flavors. Propylene glycol is also used to create artificial smoke or fog used in fire - fighter training and in theatrical productions. This is, in large part, what gives ENDD vapor its smoke -like appearance. The Select Committee on GRAS Substances (SCOGS) has stated that "there is no evidence in the available information on propylene glycol and propylene glycol monostearate that demonstrates, or suggests reason to suspect, a hazard to the public when they are used at levels that are now current or that might reasonably be expected in the future" (FDA, 2012). 3. Formaldehyde Advocates for the banning or restricting ENDD use in public also cite that these vapors contain formaldehyde, just like their tobacco counterparts. A recent study of ENDD vapor actually confirms a slight presence of formaldehyde in the test chamber where a person was using an ENDD (Schripp et al., 2013). However, in that same study, they found that levels of formaldehyde were increasing well before the user started vaping ([bid). "At room temperature, formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas that has a distinct, pungent smell " ;(CDC, 2011). "Formaldehyde is naturally produced in small amounts in our bodies" (lbid). We naturally exhale it under normal breathing conditions. It is also used as a preservative in some foods and in many products used around the house, such as antiseptics, medicines, and cosmetics" (I bid). C. Legislation That the FDA has no problem with us eating, drinking, or naturally producing the chemicals and gases often cited as the dangerous elements of ENDDs, but then seeks to ban the import of ENDDs. is cause for a curious debate. However, that many of the liquid capsules contain nicotine, some at unusually high dosages, is cause for immediate concern and action. As such, whether concerned about nicotine abuse or persuaded by anti - smoking campaigns that use nicotine and tobacco as interchangeable terms, legislatures and agencies across the country have started to take action. 1. What's already been done? a. Federal Prior to 2010, the FDA made attempts to seize ENDDs and ban their import to America. On January 14, 2010, United States District Judge for Washington, D.C., Richard J. Leon, found 4 1 FDA interpretation of the law "unreasonable and unacceptable" (Smoking Everywhere v U.S. FDA). Leon decided that the FDA does not have the authority to seize ENDDs because the products do not qualify as devices subject to the agency's regulation (lbid). In this case, Leon cites FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., where "the Supreme Court held that tobacco products, like traditional cigarettes, are not subject to FDA regulation as a drug or device" (529 U.S. 120. 160 -61 (2000)). "Because [ENDDs] as marketed by plaintiffs [sic], are the functional equivalent of traditional cigarettes, plaintiffs contend that FDA cannot regulate their products" (Smoking Everywhere). Also cited was Congress' enactment of Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, Pub. L. No. 111 -31, 123 Stat. 1776 (2009), which says FDA may regulate tobacco products, which the Act defines as "any product made or derived from tobacco that is intended for human consumption" (21 U.S.C. § 321(rr)(1)), but it cannot regulate those products as it would a drug or device under the FDCA. This means that while the products cannot be banned, and they cannot be classed as a drug - device, they can be regulated and though not official, there is precedent to treat them as tobacco products when the vaping liquids contain nicotine. b. States Treating them as tobacco products, and assuming they all contain nicotine, which has the aforementioned scientific concerns, some state legislatures are considering blanket restrictions on ENDD use. New York's is one such legislature, proposing that the devices would be banned in all places where smoking is already banned according to the Clean Indoor Air Act of 2003. The Washington State Legislature also took steps to keep the vaping trend away from minors with Revised Code of Washington Title 26 §28.080, which prohibits the selling or giving of tobacco to minors. The Washington law gives specific definition to "vapor product" as a "noncombustible tobacco - derived product containing nicotine that employs a mechanical heating element, battery, or circuit, regardless of shape or size, that can be used to heat a liquid nicotine solution contained in cartridges. Vapor product does not include any product that is regulated by the United States food and drug administration under chapter V of the federal food, drug, and cosmetic act." c. Municipalities In the meantime, some municipalities are not waiting for higher jurisdictions to impose restrictions. New York City, for example, as of May 18, 2014, has enacted a law whereby "retailers will no longer be allowed to sell tobacco products and [ENDDs] to anyone under 21" (Electronic Cigarettes Law). However, even if you are of age to buy ENDDs and vaping liquids, you would not be able to use them as liberally as you could a month ago. Effective April 29, 2014, the New York City Council approved legislation to include electronic cigarettes in the Smoke -Free Air Act" ([bid), which bans smoking in nearly every indoor environment where people congregate. Los Angeles has also been successful in enacting similar legislation on April 19, 2014. Ten days later, Chicago also banned ENDD use where smoking is already prohibited. At Mayor Rahm Emanuel's urging, the ordinance amendment also called for retailers to sell ENDDs from behind the counter as an added deterrent to minors. D. Public Health Arguments Against ENDDs Gaining public support for legislative initiatives to ban ENDD use often cite the protection of children's health. But how does it protect children to ban ENDD use in bars when minors are already prohibited from entering such spaces? Also in the protecting the children arguments are the ideas that the exotic flavors are marketed directly to children. Why else would a company make anything to taste like cookies and cream if not to attract children as potential customers? This argument seems flawed however, given the number of adults who also enjoy, if are not also addicted to actual cookies and cream. This is not to say that young people are not experimenting with ENDDs or to downplay their popularity amongst teens. However, it should also be noted that many teens are already addicted to tobacco cigarettes. ENDDs, in the case of already addicted youths, should also be seen as tools in Nicotine Replacement Therapy, similar to the Nicorette Inhaler. (The Nicorette Inhaler works in exactly the same way as an ENDD, but emits no visible vapor and is actually more irritating to users (Schripp, et al., 2013)). Studies show that when teens started ENDD use, their tobacco smoking declined. Which means young people would be on the move towards fewer carcinogens because of their experimentation with low nicotine content ENDDs (McAuley, 2012). Ill. Alternative Perspectives A. Demonization and association with tobacco products Tobacco cigarettes have received an appropriate stigma over the past few decades as the pervasive has become perverse. When anti- vaping campaigns use tobacco smoke and nicotine as synonyms, it reduces the complexity of the issue. It transfers decades of demonization to something that many openly admit they do not yet fully understand. Some people are using these devices as more effective means to quit tobacco smoking. Demonizing their NRT makes it not only socially unacceptable to smoke, but also socially unacceptable to try to stop. And if we are to view ENDD use as a drug addiction, then "given the near unanimity of the public health community in pressing for harm reduction for injection -drug users in the face of relentless political opposition, some harm - reduction advocates find it stunning that their allies in that struggle have embraced an abstinence -only position on smoking" (Fairchild et al„ 2014). R2 IV. Recommendations and Conclusion The FDA is already aware of the typical chemicals used in ENDDs and of the gases in the emitted vapor. Despite. their criticism of the industry, taken individually, these substances are GRAS in official reports. Preliminary studies of the vapors, and effects on users and bystanders show little to no negative effects. However, there are still some effects. So far, our understanding of ENDDs should be that they are by no means healthy, but generally not dangerous either. Dangers would come from custom mixes of the vaping liquid, for which activists should lobby federal agencies to regulate the manufacture of. As with any substance consumed by the public, there should be regulation to protect public health. But we should be careful not to demonize what may be a useful tool in the cessation of tobacco smoking. V. Notes The New York Times reports that scientists from Roswell Park Cancer Institute have written a report challenging the conclusion that ENDD vapor is safe, which is scheduled for publication later this month in the Nicotine and Tobacco Research journal.

Scanlon — 01 Subject: CALLING ON THE GOVERNOR, THE NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY, AND THE NEW YORK STATE SENATE TO ENACT THE "ABANDONED PROPERTY NEIGHBORHOOD RELIEF ACT OF 2014" WHEREAS, In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, there has been a marked increase in New York State in the incidence of vacant and abandoned residential properties securing delinquent mortgages, which properties frequently fall into disrepair, thus devaluing neighboring properties and barming the larger community; and WHEREAS, These vacant and abandoned residential properties have become a blight in the City of Buffalo and in many similarly situated neighborhoods across New York State because the properties are often boarded up, dilapidated, unsafe, inhabited by squatters or used for criminal purposes; and WHEREAS, An accumulation in a community of vacant and abandoned residential properties that are not properly secured or maintained for extended periods can cause a marked decline in that community's real estate market and the state's property tax base; and WHEREAS, There are documented instances of such properties being used by criminals to manufacture and/or distribute illegal drugs, thus leading to an increased likelihood of crime in and arqund the property and neighboring community; and WHEREAS, The City of Buffalo and similarly situated municipalities across New York State are often forced to expend taxpayer funds to prevent vacant and abandoned residential properties from becoming a public hazard, thereby depleting limited local resources; and WHEREAS, The City of Buffalo and similarly situated municipalities across New York State are often forced to expend taxpayer funds to investigate and determine the ownership, occupancy and foreclosure status of vacant and abandoned residential properties in order to ensure that, where applicable, the mortgagee is complying with current obligations under Federal, State and /or local law to secure and maintain the property, thereby further depleting limited local resources; and WHEREAS, Relevant provisions of existing State law, enacted in 2009, governing the maintenance of abandoned residential properties impose a duty on plaintiff - mortgagees to maintain vacant residential properties only after a judgment of foreclosure and sale has been entered by a court; and WHEREAS, This recent State law has in many instances proven inadequate to address the growing number of vacant and abandoned properties falling into disrepair in the City of Buffalo and in many similarly situated municipalities across New York State because many such properties are not subject to a pending foreclosure action, and many that are subject to a pending foreclosure have not proceeded, and will not in the foreseeable future proceed, to a court judgment of foreclosure and sale; and WHEREAS, There is evidence showing that many current and former New York homeowners have been misled into believing they need to leave their homes earlier in the foreclosure process than the law actually requires, thus resulting in even more vacant and abandoned residential properties throughout our communities; and z � WHEREAS, The "Abandoned Property Neighborhood Relief Act of 2014" would help the City of Buffalo and similarly situated municipalities and their residents across the State better address the growing problem of vacant and abandoned residential properties by creating a statewide registry of such properties that can be electronically accessed by such municipalities; and WHEREAS, The "Abandoned Property Neighborhood Relief Act of 2014" would help the City of Buffalo and similarly situated municipalities and their residents across the State better address the growing problem of vacant and abandoned residential properties by imposing a duty on mortgagees and their loan servicing agents to promptly report these properties to the statewide registry and take earlier, pre- foreclosure, action to identify, secure and maintain such vacant and abandoned properties; and WHEREAS, The "Abandoned Property Neighborhood Relief Act of 20I4" would help the City of Buffalo and similarly situated municipalities and their residents across the State better address the growing problem of vacant and abandoned residential properties by providing a much needed and readily available source of information on vacant and abandoned residential properties to local officials throughout the State; and WHEREAS, The "Abandoned Property Neighborhood Relief Act of 2014" would help the City of Buffalo and similarly situated municipalities and their residents across the State better address the growing problem of vacant and abandoned residential properties by also establishing a statewide toll - free hotline that community residents can use to report suspected vacant and abandoned properties to the Attorney General and receive information regarding the status of registered properties, including the identity of the mortgagee or agent responsible for maintaining them; and WHEREAS, The "Abandoned Property Neighborhood Relief Act of 2014" would help the City of Buffalo and similarly situated municipalities and their residents across the State better address the growing problem of vacant and abandoned residential properties by ensuring that homeowners are provided with clear and early notice that they are legally entitled to remain in their homes until ordered to leave by a court; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Buffalo Common Council hereby calls on the Governor, the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate to promptly enact the "Abandoned Property Neighborhood Relief Act of 2014;" and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City Clerk forwards copies of this.resolution to Governor Cuomo, the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate. r �d 2 C ristopl .

Explanation New York State currently holds all hearings in Buffalo without the option of a plea bargain. This bill will allow the City of Buffalo to adjudicate traffic infractions and allow traffic violators an option of a plea bargain, which could lead to traffic school. The violator could be allowed to attend traffic school and improve driver safety; and would not receive driver license points which raise individual insurance rates. City of Buffalo residents pay higher insurance rates and the present system causes rates to increase without any of the options that are offered in surrounding areas.
