Objective: To construct a cohesive strategic plan to marshal the intellectual, human and financial resources of all stakeholders of the Buffalo Public Schools System to both resolve the critical issues facing the Buffalo Public School District's sustainability, and to create an educational service delivery model that consistently produces students achieving core skill development at or above grade level proficiency. Regardless of what interest group residents feel they most align with, there are certain problem areas all sides appear to agree must be solved. The goal of this forum series is to pull together an array of evidence -based strategies addressing those problems first. The Education Committee will form ad hoc committees to study and organize the ideas and tactics that that surface through these forums, and turn them into recommendations and alternatives to be approved by the Common Council and to be forwarded to the Buffalo Board of Education for its consideration. This will be the beginning of a dialog between the representatives of the City and the Board of Education on how we can find a path forward that achieves the educational outcomes for our children that we believe is all of our goal The goal of the Education Forum Series was: • to identify the specific problems the Buffalo Public School System must address • Develop as many evidence -based strategies or tactics to address those problems 1 �n S. Buffalo's public system experiences a 15 —19% grade failure rate each year. 9. SS% of Buffalo's grade 4 — 8 students were not able to demonstrate grade level skills in English Language Arts and Math Skills on this year's Common Core State Standardized exams. 10.In the entire history of the Buffalo Public School System, it has never graduated more than 65% of its students on time. Recommendations: A. Plan put forward by the New Majority of the Buffalo Board of Education: (Source: Tiffany Lankes (2014). Buffalo Board of Education hopes to increase seats at top - performing schools. Buffalo News, July 7, 201.4. Retrieved from: http: / /www.buffalonews .com/city- regionibuffalo- public- schools/buffalo- board -of education- hopes -to- increase- seats -at -top- performing - schools- 20140706) "The new Buffalo Board of Education majority intends to start dramatically overhauling the city's schools when it meets Wednesday, proposing significant changes such as increasing the number of charter schools and lobbying for more state intervention in the school system. The ultimate goal is to increase the number of spots in high- performing schools by about 4,300 in the next two years, which could potentially touch 13 percent of the district's students. But executing that plan hangs on garnering support from a long list of stakeholders, ranging from parents and teachers to charter school operators and state lawmakers. A major part of the new board majority's six -point strategy is to encourage the growth of charter schools by offering incentives to entice both successful local charters and national charter management organizations. The plan also calls for: 1 1 ' The Homeroom Parents would be responsible for: • Helping Homeroom parents establish protocols for providing information to Homeroom children's parents • Setting Homeroom goals for student achievement and helping children and parents access school -based services and other services through the school guidance office or counselor. • Working with the Homeroom Teacher to developing an esprit de corps among their group. • Maintaining files for students including the students goals, student observations, and Homeroom children's parent contact information (with parent permission) • Making at least one call (if permitted by the parent) to the home of each Homeroom child, to update the parent on their child's progress and any concerns observed. • Helping the parent to make contact with such school -based personnel as may be appropriate to meet the needs of children in their assigned homeroom. The facilitator must be a parent, grandparent or guardian of a student at that school. C. A Re- Engineering Solution, by L. Nathan Hare: 1. Close all 45 failing schools in Buffalo, and re -open them as District licensed charter schools. This would immediately eliminate any failing schools in Buffalo for at least 3 years. If a school does not show over a two year period that it can produce the quality outcomes we seek, the District can pull that school's license, and re -open it as a different charter school. This can be done continuously until the school has a principal and faculty that work for the population being served in that school. 2. Re- construct the District so that it becomes a central District monitoring and policy enforcement agency, that only runs certain types of schools. Just as the State Education department doesn't run local school district, Buffalo could allow its District licensed charters serve the general student population, and only run schools for children with special needs, or schools for special emphasis populations. Special needs students would be English Language Learners, students with Learning disabilities and or with physically constricting conditions. The goal would be to develop these students so that they can be c� 1�a D. Eliminating all schools not in standin By: L. Nathan Hare 1. Restructure Model First, we could simply create 44 State - licensed charter school in Buffalo, each with its own superintendent, own school board, and own budget. Assuming 580 children per school, that would cost $7,830,000 per school, assuming a charter tuition rate of about $13,500 /child. If we maintained 44 State - licensed charter schools, they would collectively cost $344,520,000, including centralized costs and central staff operations. Let's assume that we maintain 13 District -run schools that focused on special needs populations, and that the cost per student for these children was the current District average rate of $24,000 /child, assuming 580 students per school that would be $13,920,000 per each one of these 13 schools. The total cost of these 13 District -run special schools would be $180,960,000. All other costs for the District's operation being held constant, the cost of this reconstructed district would be $525,480,000. Tack on the $30M in salaries for the existing Central Administration, and other Central Administration costs of another $30M, you can see that the District could easily operate at less than $600,000,000, excluding the costs for the 13 District -paid for Charter Schools already in existence. If we assume that those District -paid for charter schools also have 580 students at $13,500 in tuition per child across 13 schools, that would total $101,790,000. Without changing anything in central Administration, the District could easily operate at about $700M under the structure above provided. That is $93M less than the 2013 total school budget. That doesn't take into account the savings from returning to neighborhood schools, reducing bussing costs, getting rid of wasteful spending on cosmetic riders, and other efficiencies, that could easily total another $30M in lower costs. 2. Schools -in- Good - Standing Annex Model There are 7 Elementary schools in good standing, and 5 High Schools in Good Standing. �C> enroll the students seeking to be transferred into the new annexes. Teachers who might be facing lay -offs due to the loss of students from failing schools would employ the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to work potential teaching 1 . positions at the annexes. All of the other steps would be the same as the earlier model. This strategy would completely solve the issue of the District failing to comply with the NCLB Law. Our problem in the Buffalo District seems to be our compulsive impulse to always seek solutions to District problems that involve the least amount of change on the part of faculty, building administrators and support staff. When we are facing a situation where, according to the Common Core standardized Tests administered earlier this year to 3 — 8th grade students, 89% of our District students are below grade level in English Language Arts and Math skills. This is a dramatic and radical depiction of shortcomings requiring radical steps to address. Immediately, the District has to address the 2,010 transfer demands by parents, the parent participation requirement, provision of recreational recess and or gym for every student, and the budget. Long term the District has to address the atrocious student achievement levels, the need for after- school programs at every school, preservation and expansion of the music, arts and sports programs, ability of teachers to teach and parents and community to support instruction in the Common Core Curriculum.

Nathan Hare, President/CEO of CAO of Erie County, Inc. 716 - 881 -5150; Inhare @caoec.org To the Buffalo Public School Board Members, and the Superintendent of Buffalo Public Schools: For all of the District's history, prior to the middle to Iate part of the last decade, there has been virtually no discernable parent involvement in the policy and program decision - making in the Buffalo School District. Hundreds of millions were being spent in the name of the education of the children in the Buffalo District each year, as the District's outcomes for children's academic development and graduation rates failed to improve, and actually declined in many of the past years. For decades authority existed in law for parents to be involved in a shared decision - making process in terms of the District's policies and school programming matters. Yet, very few parents were even aware of how to become involved in this shared decision - making, and far fewer actually participated. The District had structured the manner of parent participation in ways that assured few parents would ever be engaged in this process. From a period beginning around 2006, clusters of parents began to fight for a place at the decision - making table, since it has been their children whose futures were being threatened by the policies and conditions in and around Buffalo public schools. Parents organized to get representation from every public school in the District on the District Parent Coordinating Council (DPCQ. Strident efforts were made by the public school's administration and the public school Board to limit these parent- driven efforts. Despite this, a cohesive organization of parents has formed that is doing exactly what the law requires, i.e., participating in a shared decision - making process regarding policy and program development in Buffalo Public Schools. What Is Shared Decision - Making? As the name implies, shared decision - making means that all parties who must implement decisions or who are directly affected by school district decisions at the district and at the school - site level must be provided an opportunity to have input into decisions that will affect them. REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION 6k be taught by the most experienced teachers in the system, with the best educational and security supports in the system. Within ten years white flight had turned a district with a 75% Caucasian enrollment into one with 45% Caucasian enrollment, and which now has about a 21% Caucasian enrollment. The disaffection and disinvestment cycle was well underway, and to this day the district has not recovered. Below is an outline of the conditions parents are now attempting to address and the strategies they have evolved to address them: Taking Our Communities Back: An Initial Outline Prepared by: L. Nathan Hare, CEO — CAO of Erie County, Inc. (716 -881 -5150) A. Background • There are 31 School Districts in Erie County. • The only public school district in which the schools are closed to students at 3 PM and to everyone by 4 PM is the Buffalo District. • In virtually every school district in the country the schools are the principal social and community culture institution in the neighborhoods the schools are in. • Schools are places where parents organize and implement initiatives for their younger children. • Schools are where children learn team work through sports and community proj ects. • Schools are points of contact where community meetings are held, block clubs meet, sororities and fraternities meet, and holiday parties and supervised socials are held. • Schools are sites where adult continuing education services are held, community health promoted, and where parenting and non - parenting adult networking activities take place. 3 • At best these community centers can accommodate about 3,000 children per night. • It is unconscionable that the 60 public school buildings in the city of Buffalo are not central institutions in the neighborhoods these schools are in, serving as a key element of the social glue that weds community members to each other and organizes community structure and development. • The public schools belong to the residents of the city of Buffalo, not to the unions or the school board. No contract can be deemed valid that denies the city community the use of such a critical, well resourced, broad capacity, all ready - owned asset, essential to the restructuring of the dynamic of socialization and children's development. The 1970s: Decade of School Enrollment Exodus from the Cities WHAT IF THERE HAD BEEN NO FORCED BUSING? http://www.demographia.com/db-forcedbusin2.htm (2) During the 1970s, core city populations declined at an unprecedented rate, and, generally core cities that were growing (such as Los Angeles and Houston) experienced sl9wer growth. Among the cities of 100,000 that had not annexed since before 1950, nearly 55 percent of the 1950 to 2000 population loss occurred in the 1970s, according to the Core City Population Trends: 1950- 2000 and 97 percent of the loss occurred in the 1950 to 1980 period. A principal cause of this unbalanced population loss appears to be rejection of core city education systems, evidenced by the fact that there was a disproportionate loss in school age population. A major factor in many areas was the implementation or threat of forced busing, as many parents perceived it necessary to move to the suburbs to ensure their children's safety and education quality. During the 1970s, public school enrollments dropped 3.6 million, while the number of school children bused to school rose 3.5 million, a negative ratio never previously or since achieved. At a time when smart growth and new urbanist theorists decry the fact that so many school children no longer walk to school, it is well to remember how this all started. By conscious public policy, school children were prohibited from walking. They were assigned to schools under forced- busing regimes that were so far away that they could not possibly walk.

We cannot make the children wait for the benefits of neighborhood schools while the District works that issue out. B. Proposed Innovation —1: Universal Youth Development for All School Age Children Open All Public Schools through 7:00 PM Monday — Friday and 10 — 4 :00 PM each Saturday during the school year, and open the public school buildings from 10 am -- 7 pm Monday — Friday and 10 — 4:00 PM each Saturday during the Summer, Easter and Christmas breaks. 1. Reduce the cost of bussing children by returning to neighborhood schools 2. Assuming the estimated $52Million being spent now on school bussing can be reduced by $25 Million, $15 Million of these savings can be spread across the 60 existing school buildings, this would create an average of $250,000 per building per year that can be directed to after school and out - of- school youth development. 3. Create neighborhood school zones that form a 15 block radius around each school. Bus children more than 6 blocks away to their neighborhood school. 4. Assuming a cost of $20/hr for after - school professional staff and $5/hr for their fringes, 10 staff employed 20 hrs per week for 40 weeks in the school year would cost $200,000 per year. The remaining $50,000 can be used for volunteer stipends and Summer, Spring and Christmas programming. 5. The District, in concert with its school lunch providers and internal budget adjustments, can find any additional resources needed to offset supplies, snacks, guest speakers or other costs that the after - school lout -of- school youth development program incurs. 6. Enable block clubs, fraternities, sororities, parent groups and neighborhood associations to provide volunteers to maximize supervision and oversight of students in the universal youth development program. 9 school/out-of-school program or activity until still such time that they return home. Any child not in a structured after-school/out-of-school activity must be under the direct supervision of their parent(s) or another adult designated by the parent(s). 1. Every child must be taught a life framework that recognizes that everyone must finish high school. 2. Every child must be taught that the primary goal they must achieve before they leave their parent(s)'s home as adults is to put themselves in a position to be economically self - sufficient and socially competent adults able to function as citizens of the American society. E. Proposed Innovation — 4:Roles of Church/Faith -based Institutions Each Church/Faith -based Institution should identify centers of competencies each can provide to their client communities through the congregants of that organization. 1. Every church/faith -based organization has some form of sanctuary, and most have some form of fellowship hall, community meeting rooms, classrooms, life centers, et al. Many have gyms and outdoor spaces that can be used for supervised recreation, urban farming or other uses. 2. Each church/faith -based organization should recruit from their congregant's areas of activity or service they have the ability to provide and /or organize to be provided in the facilities under the control of their church/faith -based organization. 3. Church/faith -based organizations, do not have to fill up every day of every week with volunteer or fee for service activities. However, each would be asked to indicate which service or activity is open only to that church/faith- based organization's membership, and which are open to the community -at- large. Those that are open to the community -at -large can be posted onto a city -wide web based bulletin board, listed on public broadcast stations' community billboards, posted in supermarkets, hair salons, barbershops and the bulletin boards of community organizations and public service agencies. There may be a need for some sort of clearing house to screen activities and 11 1� These students were all learning the same curriculum in the same school. The participating schools "mainstream" students who are learning- disabled, or who have ADHD etc. Many of those boys who scored proficient in the all -boys classes had previously been labeled "ADHD" or "ESE" in coed classes. Girls in all -girls schools are more likely to study subjects such as advanced math, computer science, and physics. Boys in all -boys schools are more than twice as likely to study subjects such as foreign languages, art, music, and drama. In 2000, Benjamin Wright, principal of the Thurgood Marshall Elementary School in Seattle, Washington, led his school in a transformation from traditional coed classrooms to single -sex classrooms... with astonishing results. Mr. Wright was concerned about the high number of discipline referrals he was seeing: about 30 children every day were being sent to the principal's office because of discipline problems (about 80% were boys). He decided to make the switch to single -sex classrooms in hopes of decreasing the discipline problem. The results exceeded his hopes. Discipline referrals dropped from about 30 per day to just one or two per day. "Overnight. The change in the atmosphere happened overnight." Same kids, same teachers. Switching to single -sex classrooms had a dramatic effect, instantly. But improved discipline wasn't the only benefit of the change. "We were just doing it to make sure that the discipline was taken care of But once we made the switch, the boys were able to focus on academics, and so were the girls. The boys, remarkably, shocked the state with what they did on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning. Our boys went from being in the 10 to 30 percent listing to 73 percent. They went from a reading average of about 20 percent to 66 percent. Our boys outperformed the entire state in writing. They went from being in a low percentile of 20- something to 53 percent in writing. These results aren't confined to elementary schools. An inner -city high school in Montreal made the switch from coed classrooms to single -sex classrooms five years ago. Since making that switch, absenteeism has dropped from 20 percent before the switch to 7 percent now. About 80 percent of students pass their final exams, compared with 65 percent before the switch. And, the rate of students going on to college has nearly doubled. You can read more about this Montreal high school here. 13 i I should, therefore, see a system -wide improvement in children's academic achievement levels, and actually not leave any children behind. By providing essentially life recovery services for older out -of- school youth and young adults, many of these individuals could obtain the skills and education needed to obtain viable employment.

The question of including the Buffalo Board of Education in a Buffalo public campaign financing program was not satisfactorily answered. It will be researched further and addressed at next meeting. Elements of NYC Campaign Finance Program. Members gave oral reports on the items each had chosen from the original 13 topics listed. Discussion followed. Most made reference to the NYC CF Law, titled "The Act ", and available on the NYCCFB web site. Many questions remained unanswered and will be researched further at next Committee meeting. Rob discussed NYCCFB as an independent agency, with its own source of funding in the NYC budget, the offices covered and methods of oversight, civil and criminal penalties. Janet covered same areas and included figures from recent NYC budgets. The amount of money allocated to public financing surprised us all. Janet's written report is attached to these minutes. The explanation of "thresholds ", the amount of money and the number of participants needed to qualify as a candidate eligible for public matching funds, needs further clarification. Bill ( ?), Jim Anderson ( ?) will investigate. Megan reported that when meeting threshold amounts, city council candidates are restricted to contributions from district residents. This restriction does not apply to obtaining matching funds for elections. Ellen and Bill were concerned about the definition of "full" v. "limited" candidate participation. Reference was made the NYCCFB explanation given in Handout, "Frequently Asked Questions ". Bill Nowak described the huge amount of staff work needed for filing, record keeping, and setting up a Data Base, all needed for full disclosure. The responsibilities of candidates to NYCCFB, NYC BOE (Board of Elections) and State BOE, and the process for filing forms were discussed. Janet noted that we refer to the NY State Finance Campaign Handbook which contains this information. Mike offered to look into the issue of "doing business" with the city and the operation of the "conflict of interest board ". Ellen suggested that NYC's matching funds program may not be a good fit for Buffalo and that we look into other public financing examples. Jim M. had researched other examples including Albuquerque NM. A handbook describing that system is available to the committee. All members will continue to gather information by reading the Law establishing the NYC CF program. We will reach out to other individuals and groups such as the Brennan Center and Public Campaign (Nick Nyheart). Ellen suggested that a "barebones" plan to work with would help us clarify issues. We should 0V consider outside legal help in crafting a proposal. Jim M. suggested that we contact Dr. ( ?) from UB Law School who has done this before for the City. Megan said we must keep in mind ways of engaging the public as we move forward. She suggested aiming for an end -of- the -year time line for proposing a plan to the Common Council. Lauren George Common Cause NY (filling in until a replacement for Ian Hoffman is on board) wants to be kept informed of our activities. A conference call will be set up in the near future with Lauren to which members of the Committee are encouraged to participate.

COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. Charlotte Knights: Long road to a new uptown ballpark By Mark Washburn mwashburn @charlotteobserver. com Posted: Saturday, Apr. 05, 2014 Come. Sit. Look. It's supposed to be a view of a pastime, but it's a portrait of history. From any seat on either base line, you see where Charlotte scrapes the sky. Uptown's spires, grand monuments to the city's ambitions, huddle like giants peering over the fence. We look up, they took down and between us is something playful that's been missing in Charlotte for nearly a quarter - century: baseball. For a city sometimes regarded as too big for its britches, BB &T Ballpark — which opens Friday night to a weekend of sellout crowds -- is a small thing on a grand scale. Stuffed into a single city block down the street from its colossal cousin, Bank of America Stadium, the ballpark offers entertainment inside and promise outside. About $250 million worth of development, including luxury apartments, is rising just beyond its ramparts, and more is expected. Like anything in Charlotte that requires public money and land, it has been a contentious issue. BB &T Ballpark's charms — the league's largest scoreboard, suites on the dugout level that put you closer to the batter than the pitcher is — will do little to soothe critics. But for anyone who loves the game, the ballpark is a thing of intimate beauty. And it's a near - miracle that it ever happened at all. Charlotte and baseball In 1892, professional baseball came to Charlotte in the form of a team called the Hornets, a reference to the stubborn rebels who in 1780 drove away Lord Cornwallis in a turning point of the Revolutionary War. Cornwallis labeled the city "a hornet's nest of rebellion" and we've been basking in the compliment since. For 81 years, the Hornets were a summertime distraction for Charlotte, then they left. After three years without baseball, a farm club for the Orioles landed in Dilworth's Crockett Park. On March 16, 1985, somebody set fire to the wooden stadium. It burned so fast and hot that it peeled paint off one of the first fire trucks to arrive. Hundreds of people gathered to watch the inferno that reduced the stadium to ashes and consumed its historic relies - including the old uniform of an up- and - coming Orioles third baseman named Cal Ripken who had played in Charlotte five years earlier. Temporary stands were erected, and the team and the city bickered about what could be done about a new ballpark. George Shinn — who was bringing an NBA franchise to Charlotte — bought the club in 1987, renamed it the Charlotte Knights and moved it to a new stadium in Fort Mill, S.C., three years later. Charlotte turned its attention elsewhere as the Knights grew out of sight and mind. In four of the past five years, they had the lowest attendance in the International League. Needed to move Don Beaver, a multimillionaire who made his fortune in nursing homes, bought the team in 1997, largely for its ballpark. He was part of a group trying to bring the Minnesota Twins to the Triad. Shinn designed the Fort Mill ballpark so it could be converted to major league specifications. Beaver's plan was to park the Twins there for a year or two while building a stadium between Winston -Salem and Greensboro. After the Twins deal fell through, he was stuck with a money - losing team about a half -hour drive from Charlotte. Beaver has been a baseball fan since childhood. He pitched for Mooresville as a 12- year -old in the 1952 Little League World Series. His team got beat by one run, but he had his picture taken that day with Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young. It was clear to him that the team needed to move back to Charlotte if it were to ever prosper. A consultant's study in 2004 pinpointed uptown as the best spot. Lawsuits, recession Plans came and went. Finally, a bold land swap deal involving the city, county and school board and uptown landholders was proposed. Michael Smith, president of Center City Partners, remembers meeting weekly with the major stakeholders over 18 months to work it out. Attorney Jerry Reese, who believed the Charlotte region could support a major league franchise and was in talks to get one, filed multiple suits beginning in 2007 opposing a minor league park. Then the recession hit, drying up potential financing. Finally, in June 2012, after a decade of wrangling, a deal was approved in which the city and county each agreed to put $8 million into the project, and the county approved a 99 -year lease for the land -- valued at about $20 million — at $1 a year. Banks gave Beaver the rest of the financing for the $54 million stadium. When the night lights go on, BB &T Ballpark will shine with a luminescence visible for miles. That's the other view the stadium offers, and it is a spectacular thing — a beacon signaling that, at long last, Charlotte's back in the game.

First came approval from the city in June to invest $8 million into an uptown baseball stadium, cinching a deal the minor league franchise spent more than a decade negotiating. In September, construction started on the $54 million project The 10,000 - capacity ballpark is scheduled to open in time for the 2014 season. Loaded with club seats, suites and extras such as a team -owned restaurant, as well as proximity to mass transit and 79,000 uptown workers, the Knights expect to increase sales to $10 million to $12 million annually. The team now generates $3.5 million to $4 million at its ballpark across the state line in Fort Mill. Most of the gains would come from an obvious source: more fans at the games. Research by the team projects crowds will surpass 600,000 per season double the current rate. The incarnation of the stadium proposal that ultimately won county and city backing was first introduced in 2005 by Charlotte Center Cit Partners The uptown booster organization will kick in $750,000 toward the stadium. Charlotte's minor league baseball team, a Triple A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox hasn't played in Charlotte or the state of North Carolina since 1988. The following year, then -owner George Shinn moved the team to South Carolina to play in a temporary ballpark before the publicly funded Knights Stadium opened in 1990. Don Beaver bought the team from Shinn in December 1997. Rajkowski, 51, has devoted much of his seven years as the team's general manager to securing a stadium agreement. In addition to the city investment of taxpayer dollars, the county is contributing $8 million for improvements to nearby roads and sidewalks, among other elements. Mecklenburg County also owns the 8 -acre Third Ward site the ballpark is being built on, a tract worth $24 million. The Knights signed a 49 -year lease for the property in 2008, an agreement that calls for the team to pay an annual fee of $1. (County leaders left the lease rate the same but made modifications to other lease terms in 2011, a move aimed at forcing the Knights to start building the stadium.)

HSELAW.COM September 29, 2014 VIA HAND DELIVERY City of Buffalo Common Council 65 Niagara Square Buffalo, NY 14202 Re: Linwood Historic Preservation District Expansion: Proposed Amendments to Boundary Description Dear Councilmen: Our firm represents TM Montante Development, LLC ( "TM Montante "), which is currently obtaining necessary approvals for a project that will turn the site of the former Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital complex into a mixed -use development based around residential, retail and commercial uses (the "Project "). We are aware of a pending request by the Linwood Preservation District & Friends ( "LPDF "), first submitted to the City of Buffalo on July 23, 2014, to expand the Linwood Historic Preservation District (the "District ") to include historic properties on Linwood Avenue between West Delavan Avenue and West Ferry Street. TM Montante supports the LPDF's efforts to preserve the existing character of Linwood Avenue. Further, TM Montante does not object to the proposed expansion, which we understand is intended to exclude certain parcels associated with the Project (at 3 Gates Circle and 1277 Delaware Avenue). However, we are concerned that the proposed narrative description of the new boundaries was drafted ambiguously, and does not necessarily reflect the LPDF's intent (as shown on the maps attached to the group's application materials and attached hereto as Exhibit " A " ). To avoid future confusion about the boundaries of the District, we are writing to suggest alternative language that resolves the ambiguity and provides a clearer statement of the new boundaries. Below are the proposed Extension Boundaries from the LPDF's submission (dated July 23, 2014 and later amended). Our suggested edits are shown as 4-filcethr-atighs (for deleted text) and italics (for added text): Bounded on the North by the north side lot lines of the properties located at 728 and 729 Linwood Avenue. On the West by the rear property lines of properties f .

On the South by the South side lot lines of 482 Linwood Avenue located at the Northwest corner of West Ferry Street and Linwood Avenue and 475 Linwood Avenue Iocated at the Northeast corner of West Ferry Street and Linwood Avenue, The above boundary description includes properties located at 475 Linwood Avenue - 729 Linwood Avenue and including 215 -223 Linwood Terrace and excludes 3 Gates Circle and 1277 Delaware Avenue. These proposed changes resolve the ambiguity created by the phrase "fronting Linwood Avenue," which may be interpreted to include any parcel with Linwood Avenue frontage. The 3 Gates Circle and 1277 Delaware Avenue parcels have such frontage, and thus could be interpreted as included within the District, despite the clear intention of the LPDF to exclude those parcels. We also note that at the City of Buffalo Preservation Board's public hearing on the proposed expansion, held on September 4, 2014, Board members acknowledged that the proposed expanded District did not include 3 Gates Circle and 1277 Delaware Avenue. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions concerning these proposed revisions. We reiterate that TM Montante does not oppose the proposed District expansion —we merely wish to ensure that the District's new boundaries accurately reflect the LPDF's intent, with no potential for future confusion. We believe the above revisions accomplish that goal. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and courtesies in this matter.

PARKS AND STREETS 0 Streetscape Project Manager's Racist Thuggery: CATCO Has Got to Go! en last we met, we were offering an update on the Fillmore Avenue construc- tion project now in the fin. al stages of completion. By the time this information is available, in fact, the offi- cial ribbon cutting ceremo- ny will have already taken place. Despite t h a t , there's more to be _ said an the matter, in keep- N -0 ing with a,� �r��,9. �� ' the intent of our former piece, which endeav- ored to give a balanced re- port. Disturbing news has come to light regarding CATCO, (Concrete Applied Construction Technologies Corp), the company award- ed the contract.to complete the project. We reported on missed deadlines and re- peated delays with construc- tion. We knew at the time that these delays interfered with our treasured summer festivities: Juneteenth, the Masten Park Jazz Festival, the Pine Grill Reunion, and with our overall ability to move through heavily traf- ficked areas without head- ache and inconvenience. We now know the extent of the disregard for our com- munity celebrations and daily activities in general, as a result of an exposure by the CATCO project man- ager himself. Through email contact with the Rochester firm overseeing the project, Tom Coyne displays far more than disregard for our community concerns. He casually pens his open, un- abashed contempt for us as a community. He exposes the racist mindsets that clamor for contracts in our spaces, conspiring to keep our own men out of those jobs, while their only intent is to throw some concrete around and get the money. In response to a very professional mes- sage from the Rochester based Watts Architecture company, Coyne voices his displeasure at not receiving extra money for the remov- al of a fire hydrant. With apologies, we owe it to our- selves to fathom the depths of Coyne's filth in raw, writ- ten form, so that we come to a place of resolve: CATCO must never — ever cross the STREETSCAPE continued boundary of our communi ty again.

I do the work, the city pays: Don't be such a stuffed shirt! ...Stop it and make it worth getting out of bed in the morning. I'm (not) trying to get rich, I just want to get paid." CATCO project manager Torn Coyne goes beyond vulgar sexual innuendo re- garding black men, and be- yond ridiculing the notion of being responsive to their leadership. He does far more than belittle and insult our block clubs and make mockery of our vernacular. Even his confession of his primary objective "(I just wuxt to get paid)," can't top the thuggery he resorted to as he acted out his resent- ment at having to answer to the Watts Architecture engi- neer assigned to over see the project, a black man.

Thank You r'o/ Thursday, Oct 2, 2014 05:25 PM EST The great charter school rip -off: Finally, the truth catches up to education "reform" phonies Fraud, financial mismanagement, lousy results: Reports highlight awful charter schools and people are catching on Last week when former President Bill Clinton meandered onto the topic of charter schools, he mentioned something about an "original bargain" that charters were, according to the reporter for The Huffington Post, "supposed to do a better job of educating students." A writer at Salon called the remark "stunning" because it brought to light the fact that the overwhelming majority of charter schools do no better than traditional public schools. Yet, as the Huffington reporter reminded us, charter schools are rarely shuttered for low academic performance. But what's most remarkable about what Clinton said is how little his statement resembles the truth about how charters have become a reality in so many American communities. In a real "bargaining process," those who bear the consequences of the deal have some say -so on the terms, the deal- makers have to represent themselves honestly (or the deal is off and the negotiating ends), and there are measures in place to ensure everyone involved is held accountable after the deal has been struck. But that's not what's happening in the great charter industry rollout transpiring across the country. Rather than a negotiation over terms, charters are being imposed on communities either by legislative fiat or well - engineered public policy campaigns. Many charter school operators keep their practices hidden or have been found to be blatantly corrupt. And no one seems to be doing anything to ensure real accountability for these rapidly expanding school operations. Instead of the "bargain" political leaders may have thought they struck with seemingly well - intentioned charter entrepreneurs, what has transpired instead looks more like a raw deal for millions of students, their families, and their communities. And what political leaders ought to be doing — rather than spouting unfounded platitudes, as Clinton did„ about "what works" — is putting the brakes on a deal gone bad, ensuring those most affected by charter school rolIouts are brought to the bargaining table, and completely renegotiating the terms for governing these schools. Charter Schools As Takeover Operations The "100 percent charter schools" education system in New Orleans that Clinton praised was never presented to the citizens of New Orleans in a negotiation. It was surreptitiously engineered. 1 After Katrina, as NPR recently reported, "an ad hoc coalition of elected leaders and nationally known charter advocates formed," and in "a series of quick decisions," all school employees were fired and the vast majority of the city's schools were handed over to a state entity called the "Recovery School District" which is governed by unelected officials. Only a "few elite schools were ... allowed to maintain their selective admissions." In other words, any bargaining that was done was behind closed doors and at tables where most of the people who were being affected had no seat. Further, any evidence of the improvement of the educational attainment of students in the New Orleans all - charter system is obtainable only by "jukin the stats" or, as the NPR reporter put it, through "a distortion of the curriculum and teaching practice." As Andrea Gabor wrote for Newsweek a year ago, "the current reality of the city's schools should be enough to give pause to even the most passionate charter supporters." Yet now political leaders tout this model for the rest of the country. So school districts that have not had the "benefit," according to Arne Duncan, of a natural disaster like Katrina, are having charter schools imposed on them in blatant power plays. An obvious example is what's currently happening in the York, Pennsylvania. School districts across the state of Pennsylvania are financially troubled due to chronic state underfunding — only 36 percent of K -12 revenue comes from the state, way below national averages — and massive budget cuts imposed by Republican Governor Tom Corbett (the state funds education less than it did in 2008). The state cuts seemed to have been intentionally targeted to hit high- poverty school districts Iike York City the hardest. After combing through state financial records, a report from the state's school employee union found, "State funding cuts to the most impoverished school districts averaged more than three times the size of the cuts for districts with the lowest average child poverty." The unsurprising results of these cuts has been that in school districts serving low income kids, Iike York, instruction was cut and scores on state student assessments declined. The York City district was exceptionally strapped, having been hit by $8.4 million in cuts, which prompted class size increases and teacher furloughs. Due to financial difficulties, which the state legislature and Governor Corbett had by- and -large engineered, York was targeted in 2012, along with three other districts, for state takeover by an unelected "recovery official," eerily similar to New Orleans post - Katrina. The "recovery" process for York schools also entailed a "transformation model" with challenging financial and academic targets the district had little chance in reaching, and charter school conversion as a consequence of failure. Now the local school board is being forced to pick a charter provider and make their district the first in the state to hand over the education of all its children to a corporation that will call all the shots and give York's citizens very little say in how their children's schools are run. None of this is happening with the negotiated consent of the citizens of York. The voices of York citizens that have been absent from the bargaining tables are being heard in the streets and in school board meetings. According to a local news outlet, at a recent protest before the city's school board, "a district teacher and father of three students ... presented the board with more than 3,700 signatures of people opposed to a possible conversion of district schools to charter schools," and "a student at the high school also presented the board with a petition signed by more than 260 students opposed to charter conversion." Yet the state official demanding charter takeover remains completely unaltered in his view that this action is "what's bets for our kids." What's important to note is York schools are not necessarily failures academically, as New Jersey -based music teacher and education blogger going by the name Jersey Jazzman stated on his personal bldg. Looking at how the districts' students perform on state assessments, he found that academic performance levels were "pretty much where you'd expect them to be" based on the fact that "most of York's schools have student populations where 80 percent or more of the children are in economic disadvantage," and variations in student test score performance almost always correlate strongly with students' financial conditions. He concluded that what was happening to York schools more represents a "Iong con" in which tax cuts and claims of "budgetary poverty" have prompted a rapacious state government to "declare an educational emergency, and then let edu- vultures ... pick at the bones of a decimated school system." The attack on York City schools is not unique. As an official with the National Education Association recently pointed out on the blog Living in Dialogue, "It's the same story that played out in Detroit, Flint, and Philadelphia where these `chief recovery officers' or `emergency managers' have all made the same recommendation: to hand over the cities' public schools to the highest private bidder." Then, hiding behind pledges to do "what's best for kids," these operators too often do anything but. Charter Schools Takeover, Corruption Ensues York teachers and parents have good reasons to be wary of charter school takeover. As a new report discloses, charter school officials in their state have defrauded at Ieast $30 million intended for school children since 1997. The report, "Fraud and Financial Mismanagement in Pennsylvania's Charter Schools," was released by three groups, the Center for Popular Democracy, Integrity in Education, and ACTION United. Startling examples of charter school financial malfeasance revealed by the authors just in Pennsylvania — include an administrator who diverted $2.6 million in school funds to a church property he also operated. Another charter school chief was caught spending millions in school funds to bail out other nonprofits associated with the school. A pair of charter school operators stole more than $900,000 from the school by using fraudulent invoices, and a cyber school entrepreneur diverted $S million of school fluids for houses, a Florida condominium, and an airplane. qD \ What's even more alarming is that none of these crimes were detected by state agencies overseeing the schools. As the report clearly documents, every year virtually all of the state's charter schools are found to be financially sound. The vast majority of fraud was uncovered by whistleblowers and media coverage and not by state auditors who have a history of not effectively detecting or preventing fraud. Pennsylvania spends over a billion dollars a year on charter schools, and the $30 million lost to fraud documented in this study is likely the minimum possible amount. The report authors recommend a moratorium on new charter schools in the state and call on the Attorney General to launch an investigation. The report is a continuation of a study earlier this year that exposed $100 million in taxpayer funds meant for children instead lost to fraud, waste, and abuse by charter schools in 15 states. Now the authors of the study are going state -by- state, beginning with Pennsylvania, to investigate how charter school fraud is spreading. What's happening to York City is not going to help. The two charter operators being considered for that takeover — Mosaica Education, Inc., and Charter Schools USA — have particularly troubling track records. According to a report from Politico, after Mosaica took over the Muskegon Heights, Michigan school system in 2012, "complications soon followed." After massive layoffs, about a quarter of the newly hired teachers quit, and when Mosaica realized they weren't making a profit within two years, they pulled up stakes and went in search of other targets. As for the other candidate in the running, Charter Schools USA, a report from the Florida League of Women Voters produced earlier this year found that charter operation running a real estate racket that diverts taxpayer money for education to private pockets In Hillsborough County alone, schools owned by Charter Schools USA collaborated with a construction company in Minneapolis, M.N. and a real estate partner called Red Apple Development Company in a scheme to lock in big profits for their operations and saddle county taxpayers with millions of dollars in lease fees every year. In one example, cited by education historian Diane Ravitch, Charter USA's construction company bought a former Verizon call center for $3,750,000, made no discernible exterior changes except removal of the front door and adding a $7,000 canopy, and sold the building as Woodmont Charter School to Red Apple Development for $9,700,000 six months later. Lease fees for the last two years were $1,009,800 and $1,029,996. No wonder York citizens are concerned. What Happened To Charter School Accountability? Charter schools that were supposedly intended to be more "accountable" to the public are turning out to be anything but. I by As an article for The Nation recently observed, "Charters were supposed to be Iaboratories for innovation. Instead, they are stunningly opaque." The article, written by author and university professor Pedro Noguera, explained, "Charter schools are frequently not accountable. Indeed, they are stunningly opaque, more black boxes than transparent laboratories for education." Rather than having to show their books, as public schools do, Noguera contended, "Most charters lack fmancial transparency." As an example, he offered a study of KIPP charter schools, which found that they receive "`an estimated $6,500 more per pupil in revenues from public or private sources' compared to local school districts." But only a scant portion of that disproportionate funding —just $457 in spending per pupil — could accurately be accounted for "because KIPP does not disclose how it uses money received from private sources. In addition to the difficulties in following the money," Noguero continued, "there is evidence that many charters seek to accept only the least difficult (and therefore the least expensive) students. Even though charter schools are required by law to admit students through lotteries, in many cities, the charters under - enroll the most disadvantaged children." This tendency of charter schools operations provides a double bonus as their student test scores get pushed to higher levels and the public schools surrounding them have to take on disproportionate percentages of high needs students who push their test score results lower. Noguera cited a study showing that traditional schools serving the largest percentages of high - needs students are frequently the first to be branded with the "failure" label. If charter schools are going to have any legitimacy at all, was required, Noguera concluded is "greater transparency and collaboration with public schools." Fortunately, yet another new report points us .in the right direction. This report, "Public Accountability for Charter Schools," published by the Annenberg Institute for School Reform, "recommends changes to state charter legislation and charter authorizer standards that would reduce student inequities and achieve complete transparency and accountability to the communities served," according to the organization's press release. According to the report, these recommendations are the product of "a working group of grassroots organizers and leaders" from Chicago, Philadelphia, Newark, New York, and other cities, who have "first -hand experience and years of working directly with impacted communities and families, rather than relying only on limited measures such as standardized test scores to assess impact." These new guidelines are intended to address numerous examples of charter school failure to disclose essential information about their operations, including financial information, school discipline policies, student enrollment processes, and efforts to collaborate with public schools. For instance, the report notes that the director of the state Office of Open Records in Pennsylvania, "testified that her office had received 239 appeals in cases where charter schools either rejected or failed to answer requests from the public for information on budgets, payrolls, or student rosters." In Ohio, a charter chain operated by for - profit White Hat Management Company, "takes in more than $60 million in public funding annually ... yet has refused to comply with requests from the governing boards of its own schools for detailed financial reports." In Philadelphia, the report authors found a charter school that made applications for enrollment available "only one day a year, and only to families who attend an open house at a golf club in the Philadelphia suburbs." In New York City, where charter schools are co- located in public school buildings, "public school parents have complained that their students have shorter. recess, fewer library hours, and earlier lunch schedules to better accommodate students enrolled at the co- located charter school." The report quotes a lawsuit filed by the NAACP, which documented public school classrooms "with peeling paint and insufficient resources" made to co- locate with charters that have "new computers, brand -new desks, and up -to -date textbooks." The Annenberg report's policy prescriptions fall into seven categories of "standards," which include: I . Traditional school districts and charter schools should collaborate to ensure a coordinated approach that serves all children. 2. School governance should be representative and transparent. 3. Charter schools should ensure equal access to interested students and prohibit practices that discourage enrollment or disproportionately push -out enrolled students. 4. Charter school discipline policy should be fair and transparent. S. All students deserve equitable and adequate school facilities. Districts and charter schools should collaborate to ensure facility arrangements do not disadvantage students in either sector. 6. Online charter schools should be better regulated for quality, transparency and the protection of student data. 7. Monitoring and oversight of charter schools are critical to protect the public interest; they should be strong and fully state funded. Unsurprisingly, the report got an immediate response from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, arguing against any regulation on charters. That organization's response cites "remarkable results" as an excuse for why charters should continue to be allowed to skirt public accountability despite the fact they get public money. However, whenever there is close scrutiny of the remarkable results the charter industry loves to crow about, the facts are those results really aren't there. Charter Accountability Now Of course, now that the truth about charter schools is starting to leak out of the corners of the "black box" the industry uses to protect itself, the charter school PR machine is doing everything it can to cover up reality. Beginning with the new school year, the charter school industry has been on a publicity terror with a national campaign claiming to tell "The Truth About Charters" and high dollar promotional appeals in Philadelphia and New York City. Butthe word is out, and resistance to charter takeovers is stiffening in more places than York. In school systems such as Philadelphia, Bridgeport, Pittsburgh, and Chicago, where charter schools are major providers, parents: and local officials have increasingly opposed charter takeovers of their neighborhood schools. A recent poll in Michigan, where the majority of charter operations are for-profit, found that 73 percent of voters want a moratorium on opening any new charter schools until the state department of education and the state legislature conduct a full review of the charter school system. There's little doubt now that the grand bargain Bill Clinton and other leaders thought they were making with charter schools proponents was a raw deal. The deal is off.

Both the planning process and the plan are seriously flawed and not in the best interests of the City of Buffalo and the region. We can do better. Process: Unfortunately ECHDC's Request for Proposal (RFP) was not posted on their website along with other ECHDC RFPs. The RFP later was obtained from an anonymous source and became available to a few people but not to the general public. By now more than a few people have read the RFP which describes ECHDC's.criteria for an Outer Harbor master plan. Please refer to my enclosed issues statement which documents my concerns and information sources. Plan: The plan, as per RFP criteria, has so- called "sustainability" features including residential housing that will compete with existing lakefront and riverfront housing, and also with ongoing downtown residential development. The Outer Harbor does not have existing infrastructure to support housing. It is assumed revenue generated from property taxes and fees will cover operations and maintenance costs for the parkland area. Nowhere do ECHDC or their consultants, Perkins + Will, produce an implementation budget to support their sustainability assumptions. It seems foolish to expect people to live on the Outer Harbor year round. Some of us remember the brouhaha following the suggestion to move the Buffalo Zoo next to the lake. Winters on the Outer Harbor are harsh and extreme. Instead of property tax revenues city - county -state collaborations may support Outer Harbor O & M and future capital improvements. The less built environment, the less O & M will be required. The RFP describes the Outer Harbor project site's evolution from lake water to landfill, with major landfill events beginning in 1890. The plan calls for dramatic re- shaping of Outer Harbor land without identifying what exists in the Outer Harbor landfill. Landfill is not clay. We are aware that toxic pieces of the area have been remediated but are not fully aware of other possible dangers. (Note Town of Wheatfield's recent concerns about Love Canal fill removed years ago and buried in Wheatfield during an expressway construction project.) Environment and ecology concerns are mostly absent from the plan. Since the Outer Harbor is situated on the shores of one of the Great Lakes, the absence of appropriate environmental review appears reckless. Please influence key local and state leaders to revisit the planning process and the plan. Thank you in advance for your action and good intentions. Sincerely, D Lynda Stephens Enc.

Summer meetings scheduled around July 4 th — three in same week. c. Two presentations on same day — August 6, 2014 d. One meeting on Primary Day — September 9, 2014 e. City of Buffalo LWRP — See below. 4. City of Buffalo Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) a. The June 2014 Draft LWRP shows the local waterfront revitalization area (LWRA) that includes. the Outer Harbor. Refer to map LWRP June 2014 Section 1, page 2. The LWRP is posted on the website: http://www.buffalogreencode.com/waterfront/ b. The LWRP Goal 9.

Refer to Section 11, page 13. c. in Section II, page 15, the LWRP reiterates State Policy 24 —"Prevent the impairment of scenic resources of statewide significance." d. Will ECHDC include "consistency review" as part of its SEAR process for the Outer Harbor plan? OUTER HARBOR PLANNING — ECHDC (Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp.) September 9, 2014 — Lynda Stephens, Buffalo resident Issues 1. Lack of transparency a. Secret RFP for consultant planning —April 8, 2014 Note: Other ECHDC RFPs are listed on ECHDC website http://eriecanalharbor.com/rforfq.asp (RFP — Request for Proposals) b. No acknowledgement or public information for required SEAR review — Development of a "plan" is considered an "Action" requiring SEAR, the NYS environmental review process (as per State Environmental Quality Review Act-"The SEAR Handbook, 3rd Edition -2010, available at http://www.dee. ny.gov c. How did 130 -acre parcel, the planning area, described in the Governor's September 5, 201.3 press release: (htt www. overnor.n ov ress 09052013Buffalos- Waterfront) expand to the 171 acres described in the April 8, 2014 RFP? d. Has the transfer of NFTA -owned Outer Harbor land, i.e. the planning site, to the ECHDC been completed? Will the old Port Authority terminal site be transferred to ECHDC because the sale by NFTA to a private company has fallen through? (Refer to Governor's September 5, 2013 press release.) 2. Stacking the deck a. Constraints and parameters outlined in the RFP were determined by ECHDC without public input. (The consultants hired are obligated to develop a plan in response to the RFP with its constraints.) Constraints such as "sustainability" ignore the fact that the 171 acres, the described planning area, are part of the City of Buffalo and Erie County. Suggesting sustainability and revenue resources must come exclusively from the 171 acre planning area is faulty reasoning at best; thinly veiled lead -in for private condo developers at worst. b.

The average annual increase is 8 percent for city residents and 16 percent for nonresidents over the life of the contract. The increases take effect in 2015, 2o16 and 2017. For residents, new fees will range from $750 to $1,7oo in 2015 — depending on the size of the boat — up from $75o to $r45o in 2014. For nonresidents, fees will be $io5o to $2,rgo in 2or5, up from $825 to $1,580 this year. Smith Boys was the only company to submit a proposal for marina operations when the city put it out to bid following a Comptroller's Office audit that alleged prior operator Brand-On Services owes the city money. Normally, boaters have submitted their payment for the new season by now, but they say they do not know whether they will be able to rent a slip because they can't get any answers from City Ball. "I beat down their doors and they totally ignore us," said John Dailey, who advocates on behalf of his fellow slipholders. Boater John Flake, of Alden, said the uncertainty at the ciVs marina has prompted him to call around for a slip and he hasn't been able to find a new one to rent in the size he needs. He has been on the floating dock at Erie Basin Marina since 2007, and worries about ownership of that dock, because it was purchased by Brand -On. Patrick Curry, executive assistant in the City Comptroller's Office, said unequivocally Tuesday that the floating dock will be up and r unning for the 2o14 season. The city has been dealing with the fall -out of a comptrollers audit of the marina that showed Brand-On owed the city $343,245, a number that has increased by $45,8o8 with the comptroller's audit of the 2o13 season The company has disputed the amount owed, and said that much of the money it deducted from its rent was for work done at the direction of the city. The city and Brand-On — which also operated the Hatch waterfront restaurant — are engaged m arbitration to settle the dispute. The city has sought new operators for both businesses. In other action Tuesday, the Council approved a four -month contract extension with Rural /Metro Medical Services without debate. The extension continues the $29,166 franchise fee the ambulance company pays the city and ends June 30. Jay Smith, the oompany�s drmon general manager, was prepared to speak in Council Chambers but was not called on. Smith said he hoped the company would have the city's business for years to come. It currently has an exclusive contract to operate. Rural /Metro is competing with two other ambulance companies for a longer -term contract, which the city hopes to have in place at the beginning of its fiscal year, July 1.

' City officials assured lawmakers Tuesday that the dodos will be open in time for spring. Ti lR a h VS h The confiiAon comes as the Common Council prepares to discum k Ot ALUI the terms of a new five-year contract with Smith Boys to operate and sav big the marina this season, as well as a new fee schedule for resident today, and nonresident boaters.

We have summited data for Rother Ave, Stanislaus Street, Sycamore Street, and Kosciuszko Street. Since these audits have been done Sister Rose from The Response to Love Center has fallen on Rother Street by the church due to the broken sidewalk and has broken her arm. We are hoping that the sidewalks and streets make its way into next years budget as they are so desperately in need of some work for the communities safety. Are there any updates on future plans for improvement? If so please contact Wendy Van Every at wvanevery@city- buffalo.org Thank you, Van E Director of gnvironmental and Neighborhood Initiatives The Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo and WNY 716- 851 -4052 Wellness Coordinator.

After a few months, our surveyors Nussbaumer & Clarke, Inc. informed us that the City of Buffalo's 10' foot allocation for a right -of -way sidewalk, as per the Common Council intentions in its legislation enacted No. 247 (CCP, July 8, 1986) is unfortunately not on the City of Buffalo's designated property, and as such, this misallocation of the sidewalk creates questions of location, ownership of the original 10' allocated strip of land meant for the sidewalk etc. Therefore, our ability to understand our own property boundaries and our rights within are in limbo, as the surveyors took months to verify the proper sidewalk location, and its legal deed language and historic description which remain incorrect to date. Since we purchased this property in 2012 from the City of Buffalo, I would like to propose a solution regarding this above matter: Because this walkway is rarely used, and never shoveled or maintained, including grass cutting for the last several years etc., I request that this Honorable Body approve a measure that would have the City of Buffalo's Common Council abandoned the allocated 10' track of land in the CCP No. 247 from July 08, 1986, and its provisions for the "Right of Way" in order to currently resolve this deed and survey problem. Additionally, I would require a corrective deed from the Division of Real Estate amending transferred title of 945 Seneca Street to Dixon Enterprises Inc. (originally filed on August 08, 2012) with a new legal description attached to SBL: 122.28 -1 -33. Dixon Enterprises Inc. is willing to pay all filing fee associated with this request. Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Gerhardt Yaskow, REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE Pres. Dixon Enterprises Inc. ON CONIMUP41TY DEVELOPMENT.

Arguably one of the largest problems the city must deal with is the seemingly endless amount of vacant properties that plague almost every neighborhood throughout Buffalo; and WHEREAS, These properties are quickly deteriorating, attracting illegal activity and decreasing the value of surrounding inhabited properties, creating a nightmare for residents; and WHEREAS Mayor Byron Brown, the Department of Permits and Inspections and Buffalo Common Councilmembers are all committed to addressing and combatting the issue of vacant properties, whether they are owned by absentee owners, banks or slumlords; and WHEREAS, One of the major challenges presented when creating a master plan to attack these properties is that there is currently no citywide master list of vacant properties; and WHEREAS, If a master list were to exist, identifying the proper. owner and holding them accountable would be a much more surmountable task; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Buffalo Common Council respectfully requests the Mayor's Call and Resolution Center (3 11) create a checkbox within 311 to report vacant properties; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City Clerk forward copies of this resolution to the Honorable Byron W.

S on p South District Council Member 021 4 RESOLUTION In the Common Council of the City of Buffalo, On October 14, 2014 Council Member Rasheed N. C. Wyatt submitted the , following resolution: p Bailey Avenue Traffic Study Whereas, Bailey Avenue is heavily traveled with vehicular and pedestrian traffic entering and existing the City of Buffalo. It serves as a major thorough fare for access to and from Williamsville, Amherst, Cheektowaga, and other localities. Moreover, it is well traveled by bicyclists and pedestrians who frequent the commercial corridor; and Whereas, Bailey Avenue during high peak periods, such as rush bour, there is an excessive amount of traffic that congests and presents challenges for pedestrians and motorist. The traffic speed on Bailey Avenue tends to exceed the proposed city speed limits, and coupled with the congestion .creates a higher risk of accidents. The incidents of vehicle speeding on Bailey Avenue has been a major concern of businesses and residents for several years without resolution and is now calling on the city for intervention; and Whereas, With the newly built Buffalo Promise Neighborhood Children's Academy it becomes even more important to be attentive to safety, and traffic volumes. One hundred and fifty children will be educated at this $3.5 million dollar academy. The academy is located across the street to the Westminster Community Charter School which adds greatly to the concerns of parents, businesses and residents as it relates to traffic volumes, speed and pedestrian safety: Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that The City of Buffalo Common Council— Request the Department of Public Works to conduct a traffic study of Bailey Avenue to calm traffic, synchronize signals to improve flow, turn directional signals, cross walks and pedestrian safety in accordance to City ordinances, and report back to the Common Council with its findings within 120 days.
