Lead Agency: City of Buffalo, Planning Board 901 City Hall 65 Niagara Square Buffalo, NY 14202 As per the provision of SEQRA, the Lead Agency has reviewed the following action as it relates to the environment: Action Title: 905 Elmwood Avenue Location: 905 Elmwood Avenue & 617 West Delavan, Buffalo, NY Type of Action: Type 1, Coordinated 5 Description: The Action involves the redevelopment of the site by replacinga gas station and a residential structure with a 44,000 square -foot building an approximately 18,000 square -foot lot. The action consists of 1) rezoning 617 W. Delavan 2) demolishing the existing gas station 3) construction of a building up to four stories which will contain 21 residential units and 7500 square feet of commercial uses, which required area variances for residential density and retail square footage; construction of 26 parking spaces; and site work including abandonment of unnecessary curb cuts installation of new sidewalks, as necessary, and new street trees. On October 2, 2014 the planning board distributed the notice of intent to act as SEQR lead agency. Because no involved agency objected to the planning board notice of intent, the planning board was established as lead agency on November 2,. 2014. As a Result of this Environmental Review: The Lead Agency has determined the undertaking of this action will not have a significant adverse effect on the quality of the environment. No further environmental review will be conducted prior to implementation of the action and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. Reasons Supporting This Determination: Potential environmental impacts associated with the action were identified in the Environmental Assessment Form to assess potential adverse environmental impacts compared to the criteria for determining significance identified in 6 NYCRR §617.7(c)(1) and in accordance with §617.7 (c)(2)(3). The project will not have a significant impact on air quality, the mixed development will have minor air quality impacts resulting from heating and cooling systems. This is not a significant impact and would not require an air permit. The project will not have an adverse impact on ground or surface water quality or quantity. The structure and parking lot will be constructed on an already impervious surface. . The project will not have a substantial adverse impact on existing traffic levels, The project is located in a developed urban area and would have a minor increase in traffic above current levels. Additionally, the project area is also served by public transportation. The restaurant will generate additional traffic and parking demand. However, Valet parking will be provided to allow the use of nearby parking lots and reduce the use of the driveway on West Delavan. The additional traffic associated with the redevelopment of the site will not be significant The project will not have a substantial adverse change in noise levels. The residential use is in keeping with the character of the area. The site is surrounded by residential and commercial uses, consistent with those proposed. The project will not have a substantial increase in solid waste production. The project includes, 21 residential units, which will include the production of residential waste as well as commercial waste. However, this will not be a significant amount. The project will not result in the removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna; substantially interfere with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; impact on a significant habitat area; impact a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the habitat of such a species; or other significant adverse impacts to natural resources. The project is located in an urban area and is not within or adjacent to a Critical Environmental Area and will therefore, not impair the environmental characteristics of a Critical Environmental Area. The project is consistent with the community's current plans and goals, including the continued revitalization of the commercial corridor and the increase in the residential population. No adverse impact is anticipated. The project will improve the character and quality of a historic resource and is consistent with the existing community and neighborhood character. The State Historic Preservation Office has submitted an opinion that the proposed project would have a significant adverse impact on the adjacent Elmwood Village West Historic District. The Elmwood Village West Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to the quality and variety of the structures in the district, not the visual quality of the surrounding area, which if considered would have been negatively impacted by the current gas station on the site. Therefore, the action will not have significant impact on a historic district and is likely an improvement from the current gas station. The letter from SHPO also stated the building was out of context with surrounding building heights. While the total height of the structure is four stories, stepbacks are utilized adjacent to the surrounding properties to match the existing building heights. The proposed building, at tallest, is only one story higher than the predominate height of surrounding structures. Therefore, although the building would be one story taller than immediately adjacent properties, the height is still in context with the surrounding area and shorter than the church tower located one block south on Elmwood Avenue. A final concern of SHPO was that inclusion of windows on the corner would cause the corner to glow at night. The site is a densely built urban area with a variety of uses, including commercial and residential. The additional lighting that will emanate from the building is not out of context. with the surrounding area which has light elements which include residences, streetlights, commercial storefronts, and a neon art installation. Therefore, the lighting proposed is consistent with the surrounding community character. The design of the site is also substantially consistent with the Elmwood Village design guidelines which were developed with community input to ensure new construction and renovations were consistent with community character. The project will not have a major change in the quantity or type of energy used. There will be a minor increase consistent with residential and bakery use, but these impacts would not be significant. The project will not create a hazard to human health. The project will remediate known contamination associated with the use of the property as a gas station. This is a positive impact. The project will not create a substantial change in the use, or intensity of use, of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to support existing uses. The project will not encourage or attract a large number of people to a place orplaces for more than a few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such place absent the action. The inclusion of forty residential units is not significant. 2 i _J The project will not create a material demand for other actions that would result in one of the above consequences. The project will not involve changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant adverse impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment. The project does not include two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria in 6 NYCCR 617.7(C)(1).

Attached, please find the resulting audit report ftom Amato, Fox & Company, which found that "the City of Buffalo's Department of Audit and Control's internal quality control system was suitably designed and operating effectively.

Schroeder, Comptroller City of Buffalo 65 Niagara Street Buffalo, NY 14202 Dear Mr. Schroeder: We have completed a peer review of the City of Buffalo's Department of Audit and Control for the period April 1, 2013 through October 31, 2014. In conducting our review, we followed the standards and guidelines contained in the Peer Review Guide for Assessing Conformance with International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing by the Association of Local Government Auditors (ALGA ). We reviewed the internal quality control system of your audit organization and conducted tests in order to determine if your internal quality control system operated to provide reasonable assurance of conformance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (the Standards) issues by the Institute of Internal Auditors as part of their Professional Practices Framework. Due to variances in individual performance and judgment, conformance does.'not imply adherence to standards in every case, but does imply adherence in most situations. Based on the results of our review, it is our opinion that the City of Buffalo's Department of Audit and Control's internal quality control system was suitably designed and operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance of .conformance with the Standards for assurance and consulting engagements during the period April 1, 2013 through October 31, 2014. We have prepared a separate letter offering suggestions to further strengthen your internal quality control system. J &� 1 :�2C Amato, Fox & Company, P.C.

We are issuing this letter to offer certain observations and suggestions resulting from our quality control review. We would like to mention some of the areas in which we believe the Department excels: I. Through discussions with the City Auditor and the interviews with his audit staff, it is apparent that his knowledge, drive and energy level are a positive compliment to the Department. His plans and objectives for departmental improvements are evident in the audits reviewed and the workpapers supporting the audits. His involvement in the overall management of the department has generated improvements on engagements performed through the period of the review. 2. The Departmental training schedule is well designed to meet the needs of Departmental staff and engagements performed. 3. Audit memorandum in workpapers is well documented with concise language addressing systemic issues. 4. Reports are concise and results are clearly communicated in a manner that enhances improvement acceptance by auditees. 5. Our interviews of Department staff indicate that they are experienced, competent and qualified professionals. 6. We commend the City Auditor and his staff for generating reports that are clear, concise and easily read. This manner of reporting provides for more accurately communicating the results of internal audit reports and thereby enhancing their usefulness. 36 Niagara Street Tonawanda, New York 14150 Phone: 716.694.0336 Fax: 716.694.5081 email: info @amatofox.com Mark J. F. Schroeder, Comptroller City of Buffalo December 4, 2014 Page 2 7. The "Tone -at -the -Top" in the Comptroller's Internal Audit Department is quality and service to the City Council and citizens of Buffalo which exhibits itself in the audit professionals and engagements performed by them. We offer the following observations and suggestions to further strengthen your existing system of internal quality control: While the City Comptroller and his Deputy comptroller for Audit carefully plan the audit coverage of the various departments, agencies and related entities of City government, optimal coverage on a rotating basis is difficult with the limited audit staff in the department. Limited number of audit staff creates a challenge to audit the City effectively given the relationship between the number of auditors on staff and the number of employees and reporting units within the City. Presently there are over eighteen departments contained in excess of thirty -two divisions for audit coverage. Staffing level needs to be sufficient to meet the annual objectives, based on the three to five year audit rotation schedule as well as addressing unexpected projects and anonymous trips that may require additional resources throughout the year. The internal audit department effectiveness is further dependent on engagement follow up and monitoring. • While engagement are planned, the process could be greatly enhanced by expanding the initial engagement scope by further defining expectations, risks — which are internal, inherent and external as well as fraud, errors and misstatement risks. Present audit programs have served engagements however a need exists for more comprehensive programs and procedures with links to planning/scope outlines. Perhaps Thomas Reuter's Governmental Audit Guidelines and Programs could compliment the Department's library and serve as a resource in the further development of the City Internal Audit Department programs. While reports are clear and concise they should reference the ALGA guides and International Standards both in opening and opinion paragraphs. We wish to thank you and your staff for the assistance and the hospitality extended to us during our peer review of the Department. Sincerely, au � 1V Amato, Fox & Company, P.C.

C. Wyatt submitted the following resolution: Daytime Curfew Ordinance Whereas, The City of Buffalo is in the midst of a city -wide chronic truancy issue. This is of major concern, m that it can negatively impact the future of many students. School -age children that do not make it to school formulate bad habits that will carry on and Hamper their success in whatever endeavor they decide to pursue, whether it be higher education, entrepreneurship or employment opportunities; and Whereas, In 2001 the Children Defense Fund reported during their Cradle to Prison Pipeline Campaign-- - nationally, 1 in 3 Black and 1 in 6 Latino boys born. in 2001 are at risk of imprisonment dining their lifetime. While boys are five times as likely to be incarcerated as girls, there is a significant number of girls in the juvenile justice system. This rate of incarceration is endangering children at younger and younger ages. This is America's pipeline to prison —'a trajectory that leads to marginalized lives, imprisonment and often premature deatb; and Whereas Reports show. that The City of Buffalo is one of the most impoverished cities in the nation. We must be proactive to ready our youth for greater opportunities. The City currently has a nighttime curfew listed in Chapter 343 of the City Charter titled Promoting General Welfare of Minors in Public Places to protect youth from being out unsupervised, when in many cases bad things happen that can hinder their opportunities locking them into a future of continued despair and poverty; and Whereas, Establishing a daytime curfew, will allow law enforcement to help the Board of Education and parents to ensure children are where they are supposed to be during school hours, hopefully building a foundation to increase academic scores and graduation rates; and Whereas, In combination with a daytime curfew, we must also develop system -wide truancy prevention and intervention programs to identify truant behavior which will include accountability, services, data collection and evaluation. Now, Therefore Be It Resolved that The City of Buffalo Common Council- 1) Directs the Law Department to advise on the feasibility of instituting a daytime curfew and report back to the Common Council with the findings within 60 days. 2) Request that the Education Committee hold a public hearing to discuss the urgency of this action. 3) Forward copies of this resolution to the following: Mayor Byron Brown, Commissioner Daniel Derenda, Corporation Counsel Timothy Ball, Chief Carmen Menza, Deputy Chief Beaty, Dr. Harris -Tigg and Dr. W.

A Great Place To Work, Live and Enjoy. CHAIRMAN RULES COMMITTEE SENIOR LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT FELICIA C. ALI LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT FELICIA M. STANLEY 12/17/14 Ms. Cariol Horne Injury- I was 4.5 months pregnant and on light duty. There was a box of stats that I had to put in a book. It was uncomfortable to keep bending so I picked the box up and put it on the table. Following that I went to the doctor because I had a bulge in my pelvic area. I asked the doctor if it was normal because I didn't have it with my other pregnancies and he said it was a hernia. He asked if I had lifted anything lately and I told him about the box at work. Because I lifted the box at work it was an injury on duty. The city recognized the injury on duty and the doctor took me out of work. I was on injured on duty pay because it was a work related injury. ' I was supposed to have surgery after I had my daughter, but rather than have the surgery I went back to work because the pain was intermittent. When I went back to work and wore my gun belt, I felt pain. One day as I was getting out of the patrol car I felt a ripping pain in my pelvic area. I immediately went to my doctor and he said that I had new hernia. The city wouldn't recognize the second hernia. I was off for a double hernia in 1995. In January of 1996, the doctor took me out of work because I was experiencing pain. The city refused to pay me for this time of. Daring this time I filed several grievances. The injury on duty (IOD) status was disputed while and I did not receive IOD pay. Between 1996 and 2000, I had to utilize, sick, vacation, personal leave and time without pay. They notified me that I was listed as as AWOL several times throughout these years. I was instructed that I had to take FMLA leave because I had exhausted all of my time. In May of 2000 the city sent me to a doctor they appointed, who determined that the pain I was experiencing was from the surgery I had to take care of the original injury which was acquired on duty. There are now class action law suits for people who experience complications from a surgery that used pelvic mesh, but since my case was in 1996, I am unable to be included. In June of 2000, I was not notified that I was listed as AWOL and was terminated. However, according to time sheet records I was listed as Payless, which is Ieave without pay. Even this listing was inaccurate because it should have been IOD status. Lt. Carl Terranova testified in my termination hearing, that on a particular day he informed that I would be carried AWOL if I took anymore time off, however this was untrue because the day he said he had this conversation with me, was my scheduled off day, furthermore the conversation never took place in any capacity. During the years of 2000 to 2003, I was in arbitration.. In April of 2003 it was determined that I should be reinstated from the date and time I was fired, however the city appealed the decision. After the appeal I took the case to the appellate division in Rochester, NY. The appellate division upheld the original decision of the arbitration, which was to reinstate me. Months went by without me hearing anything so I wrote a letter to commissioner at time asking when I would be reinstated and in response I was told that I would have to go through the basic police training with new recruits. I advised that I still had my injury and asked how I would still be required to take PT. a I siarted the basic training without the physical portion. In the interim I wrote a Ietter to the state explaining the situation. I stated that I understood the need for refresher training as I had been out for some time but believed that I should be able to receive training through the Buffalo Police Academy like other officers who had been out as opposed to county training with new recruits. They stated that my original certification was still in good standing that it was not required for me to go the basic police academy. I was removed from the basic training and I began working again as an officer. On November 1, 2006 I was responding to an officer in trouble call. Upon arrival I saw Neal Mack in handcuffs, being punched in the face by Gregory Kwiatowski. I helped Gregory and other officers push Neal Mack out of the house. Once outside Kwiatowski stopped taking Mack to the car and began choking him. I grabbed Kwiatowski's arm from around Mack's neck. Kwiatowski then punched me in the face. This injury caused me to have to have a bridge replaced on the upper right side and headaches that I still suffer from. I have pain in my right shoulder from a torn rotator cuff that occurred from either when 1 was assisting in getting Mack out of the house or when the other officers were pulling me away from Kwiatowski after he punched me. I somehow injured my left foot in the incident also. The city recognized this IOD but forced me back to work against my doctors' orders a week prior to my rotator cuff surgery. I was required to pack masks in a bag knowing that would require me to move my injured rotator cuff. The day after surgery I was required to report to work in pain, with a sling and an ice machine on. The Deputy Commission Byron Lockwood asked why I was not in my uniform shirt and then told me I couldn't work without it. I was sent home. I was off from some time was again forced back to work against doctor's orders and was not given IOD status again. llowing this return to work I had to go through the hearing and was subsequently fired.

J�1 POLICING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: Comparing Firsthand Knowledge with Experience from the West, ` ®1996 College of Police and Security Studies, Slovenia THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS James M. Hart The processes and dynamics of change in the functioning and structure of police organisations, and the effects of change on people working within them, are the broad topics of this paper. The author's direct involvement in, and observations of, wide - ranging changes to police organisations form the basis of the original research, from which this paper has been developed. It is suggested that theories of change management are far from complete and the phenomenon of change management is generally poorly explained - this being especially apparent in respect of police organisations. A macro model of organisational change is advanced which provides a structure for the analysis. The model is based on the significance of the 'stimulus' for organisational change, the 'target' for such changes and the'types and stages' of change implementation. A managers process model of change is suggested and the concept of a 'change counter resistance system' is introduced. Likely explanations for resistance to organisational change are advanced in order to help foresee and plan for minimising the potentially negative effects of resistance to change. The paper concludes by suggesting a specification for a set of principles for change management in police organisations. These principles are derived from both the author's research and more general, contemporary management theory and practice. THE APPROACH TO CHANGE The processes and dynamics of change in the functioning, structure and work force of organisations is a well documented subject from Basil & Cook (1974) to the more recent works of Moss-Kanter (1989), Senge (199 1) and Pedler et at (1991). Most writers on organisations, it seems advance some comment on the phenomena and consequences of change from their own particular perspective. Theories of change management however, are far from complete and the phenomena of change management is relatively poorly explained. (Evered 1980) In relation to both change interventions at an overall organisational level and changes at an individual task level there is little commonly agreed material in the form of action guides for either participants or managers. This absence of any unifying theories that explain the change as a dynamic systematic process might he justified, or at least explained, by the number, complexity and variability of the factors involved. Issues as diverse as individual psychological phenomena to macro economic and political theory all potentially have their place in explaining organisational change. A recurring theme of many writers, is that the effects and consequences of organisational change can be. widespread, even from the most seemingly insignificant alteration to a task or procedure, through to major organisational re- structuring and re- sizing. The consequential effects of either the prospect of change, or the actual implementation of change are often found to extend far beyond the immediate issue that is the focus of the change itself. (Beardshaw and Palfreman 1990) It may be demonstrated that within organisations, such reactions frequently produce antagonism towards the . https: l/ www .ncjrs.govlpolicinglmanl99.htm 12/15/2014 THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 2 of 17 source of the stress, which may rightly or wrongly be perceived as the change. When the change relates to work associated procedures, or structures, the negative outcomes can range .from a temporary and marginal reduction in productivity, through to internal sabotage and/or major industrial action. The outcomes will be dependant upon a large number of inter- relating factors and competing individual objectives such as the security of employment, future potential /remuneration, type of work etc. (Bass and Stogdill 1990, Brown and Campbell 1994, Carnall 1990, Davis and Shackleton 1975) From this brief analysis, it is suggested that in order to understand and describe the process of change in police organisations, it is necessary to consider not only the human reactions to change, but also the mechanistic organisational functions and processes that bring about those effects in humans. Any attempt to disentangle functional, process and structural issues from the social and.psychological aspects of the work force will result in an incomplete analysis. Therefore it is suggested that an integrative and holistic approach is necessary in order to understand and explain the processes of change in police organisations. It is argued that if the change process were fragmented and reduced to analyses of individual features of the process which correspond to existing micro theories, then it is unlikely that an holistic analysis could subsequently be assembled. Such a product would more probably amount to a set of unrelated observations of the change programme that could not be related together in any meaningful way. An overarching macro approach is therefore required. OPENNESS AND UNPLANNED CHANGE It can be shown that police organisations may be considered as open systems and the concept of their'degree of openness' might be introduced. It is suggested that that the greater the amount of information shared by a policing system with its environment, the greater the degree of openness. It is argued that police systems that are more open, will inevitably change more than others that are not. If an open organisation is in constant interaction with its environment, then it will be responsive to external influences through the openness of the system boundary. (Fast and Rosenzweig 1981) This in turn implies that a more open system will potentially experience higher levels of unplanned changes as the organisational system will not be in sufficient control of its environment to prevent such events. Ironically the simplest means of avoiding such unplanned changes would be exclude inputs from the environment, thus limiting the stimuli to change. Change of this type to the system characteristics would alter the degree of openness and move the system towards a more closed mode of operation, which has been argued to be undesirable in policing systems. Such closed policing systems being typified by the characteristics previously described, as well as by Scarman (198 1) and Smith et al (1983), whereby the policing system was not responsive to inputs from the .human environment. The degree of openness of the system boundary implies that some interactions which take place between the system and its environment will be appropriate to the systems' behaviour, whilst some will not. e.g. It would be appropriate for a policing system to be responsive to inputs from a Community Police Consultative Committee that sought to reduce crime in a particular area, but perhaps not so appropriate for police to be responsive to an informal residents' association's wishes to reduce policing in their area in order that unlawful activities might flourish. UnpIannedd and unforeseen change to an organisation will generally arise if the organisation does not have sub- systems designed to monitor leading or key indicators of environmental activity that critically influence the systems' performance. Despite disciplined and careful environmental scanning, police organisations might still be victims of unplanned change arising from: i. environmental crises that in themselves were sudden and unforeseen, ii. systems entropy either internally or externally such that the known, gradual decline in a systems' performance suddenly and unpredictably accelerates with a catastrophic effect, forcing sudden change, https:// www .ncjrs.gov /policing/manl99.htm 1 211 512 0 1 4 THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 3 of 17 iii.' sudden and unforeseen psychological and social /psychological factors effecting either staff internally or the public externally. THE MACRO MODEL OF CHANGE' The degree of complexity involved in the organisational change process thus gives rise to the need for the specification of a simple macro model of the change process. Figure 1 shows three elements of the change process: L the stimuli for change, ii. the target for change, iii. the stages of the implementation. STIMULUS ) TARGET for Identifies for CHANGE ) CHANGE . STAGES of CHANGE IMPLEMENTATION Figure l The Macro Model of Change Figure 1 initiates at the point where a stimulus for a future change leads to the identification of the target for change. The target is the actual system or procedure that is to change and is thus the subject of the change implementation that will be achieved through one or more stages. As implementation progresses, so observation and evaluation of the results will feedback to the original situation which originally gave rise to the stimulus for change. If the system outputs satisfy the need for change, then the stimulus for change will reduce or disappear. If not, then the stimulus to change will modify, perhaps identifying a different target for change implementation and soon until the need is met and there are no further stimuli to change. The model is therefore. iterative and dynamic, in that repeated passes will bring an alteration to both the system and the situation in need of change. A steady state will only be achieved when there are no inputs from the environment, and no further internal inputs to create stimuli for change. This is a most unlikely situation for policing systems that are seen to exist in turbulent social environments (Jackson and Keys 1984) and are thus .subject to frequent environmental stimuli to change, if they have open characteristics. Additionally, a steady state would only be achieved if every change implementation were wholly successful in - - hops: / / www.npirs.gov /policing /Manl99:htrn 1211512..0..14.-- ....... THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 4 of 17 respect of achieving design objectives. It is argued later, that a process of adjustment to systems is likely to be necessary after implementation. Therefore whilst the macro model of change might be argued to be stochastic, it is more probable that in relation to policing systems it is perpetually dynamic. MACRO MODEL - CHANGE STl[MULI The principle that open systems exchange signals through a boundary with their environment, gives rise to the concept of inputs to a system that stimulate and motivate change - these may be termed 'change stimuli'. Kast and Rosenzweig (1981) adopted the synonymous term "...sources of impetas for change..." (pg. 565) and noted that they arise from many sources, namely: i. environmental, ii. technical, iii. structural, . iv. psychological, v. managerial, ❑i. goals and values Moss - Kanter (1989) used the expression 'forces for change' to convey a similar idea which she suggested arose from: i. a departure from tradition ii. a crisis or galvanising�event, iii. strategic decisions, iv. individuals who are 'prime movers', v. action vehicles - the mechanisms that practically achieve change. In general terms, it seems that leading writers have identified similar phenomena and ascribed a slightly different emphasis to their explanations. For the purpose of examining change in police organisations the expression 'change stimuli' has been chosen to amalgamate the ideas of the above writers with changes affecting police systems arising from any one or more of the following sources, either internally or externally: i. managerial initiative and/or'fashion in management' ii. social and/or psychological factors of staff and the public, including criminals, victims, other involved individuals, as well as opinion farmers, iii, cultural factors - assumptions by staff as to how the organisation operates, iv. structural design - the relationship between parts of the organisation, v. technological developments vi. organisational goals and values vii. political and/or economic factors, national, regional or internal. The diagram at Figure 2 shows the origins of the major types of change stimuli that input to policing systems and start the process of change. It is suggested that change stimuli neither exist, nor bring about change, in isolation; whether internally from other organisational sub - systems, or externally as discrete inputs from the environment. Rather, change stimuli are likely to be complex mixtures of pressures and motivations that have arisen from a number of apparently disconnected sources. This proposition is expanded by Senge (1990) in his description of 'connectedness' and 'interdependencies' between systems and their environments. Figure 2 distinguishes between internal and external origins of change stimuli, but it is not the case that the headings shown are mutually exclusive. It is likely there will be some degree of external influence on every internal feature. For instance, trends or fashions in management approaches and style usually have their origins outside the police service, but through the process of learning and experience, police managers adopt the --- https: / /_www.ngirs.gov /policing /manl99.htm .12/15/2014.. -. ---- -- .. - THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 5 of 17 principles of a particular 'style' and implement the corresponding changes. Thus the origin of the change is external to the police system, but the stimulus arises internally. Change stimuli may emerge from a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (S.W.O.T.) analysis of the political, economic, social, technological and environmental (P.E.S.T.E.) factors arising around the organisation's activities. Alternatively, the change stimuli may impact directly upon the Service in the form of new legislation or government directives. In either case the effect is similar in that the Service has to respond to an externally stimulated change, rather than an internally identified need for change. The issue is that the police service as an open system will, by definition, change through time by virtue of inputs from the human/social environment. These inputs may act directly upon„ and influence existing members of the organisation and therefore be reflected in the attitudes and culture of the staff. Thus changes in society brought about by changing values, education and social norms would progressively bring about changes to policing systems. -https-,//www.ncirs.14-ov/lpolicing/Manl 99.htm 12/15/2014 . _ THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS 1 INTERNAL l 11.F .M. measures ' Cost cutting l Reaction to unexpected ' events Higher workloads and demands , Management trends l IT and similar technological l implementations Response to organisational strategy i.e. quality of service higher performance Directive from higher ; authority l Better way of doing ; things is envisaged I , ,4 Stimulus i for , , Target for Change r I !V � Implementation.

THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 7 of 17 C> proportion leaving the system, predominantly through retirement, whilst new recruits join the system. The organisation is volatile and thus becomes increasingly subject to the values and attitudes of the newer members. Models of social evolution may add a further potential complexity to the analysis of stimuli for organisational change. (Khandwalla 1977) For instance, if the police service is constitutionally representative of the society it protects (Critchley 1967), then if society changes through time, then so too will the police service. If the policing system is open as suggested, then it is argued that whether societies are subject to evolutionary or revolutionary change, then the changes occurring in the policing environment will be reflected in the characteristics of the policing system. In societies with closed policing systems, it is suggested that the policing organisation would probably peruse its own goals and objectives despite changes in the human environment. Examples of policing systems where this seems to be the case are widespread in totalitarian regimes. (Alderson 1979) The more obvious examples of such long term change stimuli would be those coinciding with cultural changes in wider society. i.e. attitudes to equal opportunity issues, race, gender and age, as well wider employment issues relating to leisure time, work re- location and the manufacturing /service industry ratio. The motivation for internal change in the police service may often be seen to be the dominant characteristic of a change programme, whereby the achievement of the change is seen as an end in itself. For example, such a situation would exist where more staff energy was applied to the implementation of a computerised information system than to the use of the data subsequently produced. This example although trivial in itself appears to be similar in principal to many problems commonly found within the commercial organisations described by Moss - Kanter (199 1) and Senge (1990) and it serves to illustrate a significant principle. As a first step towards implementing change, it is highly desirable that the change stimuli are correctly identified, prior to analysing the current situation and designing the changes. Failure to do so is likely to lead to unsuccessful implementations, or to inappropriate changes that will not correspond to the original problem situation and thus fail to address the stimuli for change. MACRO MODEL - CHANGE TARGETS The concept of a'target for change' arises from the proposition that whether organisational change is planned or unplanned the focus of attention (manifestation). of the change will be apparent. Whether or not the stimulus for change arises externally or internally to the organisational system, it can be suggested to have direction and thus have an apparent target. Kast and Rosenzweig (198 1) used the expression 'foci of attention' to convey a similar idea and suggested the concept of 'levels of foci'. These commence at the individual level of people and ascend through roles, interpersonal issues, inter -team and inter -group factors to the final level of the whole organisation. However this definition seems to omit many of the relationships, information flows and dynamics that are vital attributes of the functioning of organisational sub - systems. A more complete concept can be developed using Checkland's (1972, 1981.) methodology as a starting point, where the notion of a'root definition' and a'rich picture' are advanced. The idea being that a system, or a part of a system, that is relevant to a problem situation can be defined precisely and then elaborated to incorporate significant elements and relationships. This is much closer to the concept of a change target in that the root definition would encompass all relevant attributes and the rich picture would relate these to other sub- systems and the environment, or system climate. Other writers make similar distinctions in order to isolate the portion of an organisation that is the centre of attention. For example, Flood and Carson (1993) explain the value of making a distinction between a'narrow system of interest' which forms part of a'wider system of interest'. Jackson and Keys (1984) refer to the notion of the 'problem context', which incorporates the sub - system itself, the relevant decision makers and the ........_ https:/L www .ncjrs.gov /policing/man199.htm 12/1512014.... . THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 8 of 17 problem solvers. Despite the practical complexities surrounding this approach, the concept of a target for change is considered important. The target for change provides a focus for where the change is to take place within the organisation, whilst allowing a full understanding of what it is that has to be changed and the consequential effects. It helps the problem solver to avoid considering change in isolation from other significant features of the system. The target for change is seen as the actual sub - systems, including all procedures and staff that are subject of change or alteration. Targets for change are seen as occurring in three generic groups as shown at Figure 3. CULTURE Target 0 STRUCTU.REI { SYSTEMS Figure 3 Types of Change Target Figure 3 implies that the targets for change, although occurring within three identifiable groups, interact to produce the actual situation that is to be changed, more conveniently described as the 'narrow system of interest'. On the basis of the work arising from the major schools of organisational theory, it can be proposed that organisations will have change targets within the three broad generic groups shown which broadly correspond to the major schools of theory as follows: i. culture - essentially the human relations school, incorporating social, psychological and human features and phenomena, ii. structure - incorporating the rational approaches, including power, authority and accountability relationships, operating procedures and rules, iii. systems the unifying approach that understands the organisation to be interacting with its own sub- systems and environment. MACRO MODEL - TYPES OF EWPLEMENTATION The actual changes necessary to bring about an alteration to the target, have to.be subjected to a process of implementation for the change process to be complete. It is only when the changes have been made and the outputs from the new processes are fed back to the change stimuli, (Figure 2) that it becomes possible to determine whether there is a continuing need for change and/or adaptation. Cleland and King (1983) referred to this feedback process as the 'project control sub- system'. The process of implementation is conceptually more straightforward than either planning for change, or subsequently making the -new system operate according to expectation. It might be argued that if a system is https://_ www. .ngjrs.gov /pplicing/manl9 12/15/2014 .......... . _._ THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 9 of 17 1 not performing according to design and/or expectation then it has either not been fully implemented, or it is not an appropriate system to realise the expected or desired change. It is argued here, that there is a distinction to be made between the type of processes of planning, designing and organising for change, and the later stages of implementing the changes and then actually stimulating /adjusting the new system to produce the required results. It is suggested that the earlier stages are essentially intellectual processes, whilst the later stages need the addition of leadership and motivational skills (Bass 1990) to actually produce the changes. THE HUMAN DIMENSION OF CHANGE The outputs of the human psychological and social psychological (psycho social) sub- system are seen as crucially significant to the process of implementing change, whatever the change stimuli. If the change requires individuals or work groups to make some adaptation to their routines and procedures at work, then psycho social factors will have a major influence on the outcome. (Brown 1954, Argyle 1972) If staff support for change is required and is not forthcoming, the impact of a technical change can be zero, or even negative. (Kast and Rosenzweig 1981) Therefore an understanding of the common human processes of .change that are repeated throughout organisational change programmes is essential for achieving successful implementations. Thus benefit for the organisation might be derived and organisational goals achieved. The macro model of change described earlier provides the basis for the development of a generalised process model of change that incorporates the role of managers. The inclusion in the model of an organisation's manager's role is vital to the process of change, as it is only through staff and their effective direction, motivation and co- ordination that the organisation's goals might be approached. (Koontz and O'Donnell 1976) Such a model might be seen as a manager's process or action guide for addressing change. Figure 4 assembles the minimum necessary management activities for achieving change associated with the elements of the macro model in the form of a flow chart. . , hftps://www.ncirs.gov/policing/manl99.htm . 12/15/2014. ..

Manager's Process Model of Change The process shown at Figure 4 initiates with identification of the change stimuli. This will enable decision makers to determine whether changes are to be of a systemic nature at a strategic level, or confined to limited tasks and procedures that may take place without management intervention. In such an event, managers will need to be aware of alterations to tasks as the consequential effects may not be clear from the operational level. The management and staff communication sub - systems include all the formal and informal information routes customarily utilised within the organisational system for the exchange of information between staff and managers, as well as for providing managers with system output performance information. In the case of major change the communications sub- system is likely to include special communications procedures and arrangements designed to promulgate information specifically relating to the change programme. Management information will enable the target for change to be identified and decisions made as to which aspects of the system need to be changed. Further research may be necessary at this stage and systems thinking will enable the consequential effects of the proposed changes to be managed appropriately. (Senge 1990) The counter resistance sub - system continually interacts with the implementation process in such a way as to facilitate the implementation at every stage. It will be shown that resistance to change in organisational systems by staff and managers is a very common phenomenon which can be relied upon to emerge in one form or another during most change programmes. (Kast and Rosenzweig 198 1) It is therefore desirable to provide for the eventuality by planning effective counter measures. Various measures might be more or less appropriate at different stages of implementation, depending upon progress. Such measures might include one or more of the following: i. the provision of a dedicated or enhanced internal communications system to promulgate change .information to the work force, ii. regular, persuasive demonstrations of the positive features of the change by describing the advantages and benefits accruing to those involved, iii, presentation of a rational analysis of the inappropriateness of the old /existing system, iv. association of achievement of change with the internal reward systems i.e. advancement, recognition, financial rewards and/or tangible inducements, v. association of non achievement of change with internal sanctions system, i.e. threat to security, lack of advancement, worsened financial prospects, loss of, or reduced status /position, use of formal disciplinary procedures. Finally, when implementation is complete, Figure 4 shows a decision point where a judgement is made as to the suitability of the new output. If the output is not meeting the design requirement and the stimulus for change remains present, then more research may have to be undertaken and the process re- started. If a marginal improvement is observed then it is possible that an inappropriate target was selected, or the new system has only been partially implemented. In such an event, the change process should re- commence with identification of the target for change, which in any event, may have altered since the first change process. For police managers, as with others, change is an issue that may be relied upon to frequently recur, bringing with it many predictable challenges, especially regarding staff. Managers and leaders are by definition agents of change; they are people whose acts affect other people, more than other peoples' acts affect them. (Bass 1990) RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - THE CHANGE BALANCE It is inaccurate to assume that resistance to change is always a negative phenomena, although it is frequently perceived in that way. Organisations whether commercial or public service, have a need to pursue multiple https: / /www.ncjrs.gov /policing /manl99.httn 12/15/2014 THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 12 of 17 objectives for survival and amongst these is Iikely to be a need for some stability, balanced with a need to change. (C=all 1990) Police organisations, especially those operating within conurbations, carry out their function within an extremely turbulent human environment (Scarman 1981, Jackson and Keys 1984) where both public and government opinion can fluctuate rapidly and widely. To correspondingly react to such fluctuations would severely curtail the ability of the police to strategically and efficiently tackle crime and other issues. The same argument may be said to be true for government departments who see their role as providing stability in the face of political changes in government. Similarly, it might be argued that a commercial organisation that tried to continually adapt its product to suit every market opportunity, might discover the desirability of some stability in order to consolidate its position. Similarly, organisations where traditions are significant to the corporate goals might attach a high value to stability, i.e. the market or trading position, corporate image, corporate integrity. In such operations, a high turnover of staff who represented the corporate culture of'stability' would be undesirable. In such circumstances resistance to change would amount to a corporate asset rather than a constraint. In order to stimulate change under such conditions it would therefore be necessary to bring about gradual alterations to the corporate culture that was being sustained by the Iong serving members. Here, the organisational balance would be towards resistance rather than change. Whereas in an organisation that was dependent upon a creative reaction to it's environment, the balance would favour adaptive staff, who are possibly younger and less inclined to exhibit values associated with established norms of 'how things are done'. The human and social factors contributing to a resistance to change forth a complex psycho social sub system, the elements of which may be categorised as follows. Each will be discussed in turn: i. psychological factors, ii. psycho - social factors, iii. sunk costs, iv. personal strategies, V. confusion. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS The following table presents the frequently encountered, major psychological factors that may be apparent singly, or in combination to produce an individual's resistance to organisational change. There are many unusual, or even abnormal psychological conditions that may occur in people that will create a resistance to change, or constrain them from tackling unfamiliar circumstances, i.e. psychopathy, acute paranoia, schizophrenia. (Sacks 1985) Such conditions are exceptional and the list presented here, drawn from the following sources, does not attempt to be exhaustive in this respect. (Brown 1954, Davies and Shackleton 1975, Lupton 1978, Yroom and Deci 1978, Brown and Campbell 1994) Rather those conditions shown are attitudinal phenomena that exist in the majority of humans at work. (Argyle 1972) i. Uncertainty - Staff not knowing in sufficient detail what has to be done, or what the new system requires of them may create a situation where change will be resisted. Uncertainty can arise due to: a. poor internal communications, b. staff inattention to new instructions, _ c. an inability or reluctance to understand what is required, d. a situation that is inherently uncertain and cannot be made more certain. h S. / /www.ncirs �ovlpolicing /manl99.htm 12/15/2014 - THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 13 of 17 ii. Confidence - a lack of confidence in individuals that they will actually be able to perform the new tasks or procedures will militate against implementation of change. Poor levels of confidence may arise from: a. inadequate training or communication, b. the absence of an opportunity to experiment in a safe environment. iii. Anxiety - a condition exacerbated by poor confidence and uncertainty which manifests as worry, which in turn may create unacceptable levels of stress in staff. It is natural for humans to strive to reduce the source of anxiety and if this is perceived to be the impending change, then the changes may be selectively ignored and/or resisted. iv. Stress - a potentially severe constraining condition that may limit the performance of routine activities and in such severe cases, will result in inactivity, a loss of self esteem and a disregard of new or unfamiliar challenges or changes. v. Confusion - a state of mental disorder brought about by not being able to relate the present activities with the new requirements. Likely to be compounded by poor internal communication and/or a failure by managers to agree clear objectives. vi. Fear - an emotion brought about by the prospect of imminent danger the reaction to which is either to fight or flee. Fear of impending but unknown change will limit current performance and create future resistance to change, even before proposals are drafted. The implementation of new technologies have demonstrated. how some staff have 'fled' from the prospect of assimilating new skills. vii. Depression -a personal mood of helplessness, excessive melancholy and inadequacy often associated with other physical or mental conditions. Will severely constrain an individual's motivation to progress current work and especially to develop and/or implement changes. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - PSYCHO SOCIAL FACTORS Earlier the concept of organisational culture was described and the importance of culture to the change process was recognised and developed as one of the targets for change. The significance of organisational culture to the change process principally arises from the potential of people in groups to have common set of values that can be applied to disrupt or resist change. (Gahagan 1975) Culture in the broadest sense is no more that a combination of psycho social factors interacting with organisational goals in the workplace to produce observable effects. The elements of a cultural sub - system have been identified from a variety of sources by Schein (19 85) and may be summarised as follows: i. observed behavioural regularities - language, rituals, dress, demeanour, ii, the norms that evolve in working groups - fair day's work for a fair day's pay, iii. dominant values - quality of service, adherence to the law, iv. organisational philosophy - the vision'or knowledge that guides an organisation towards its staff and /or customers, v. the rules - that have to be learnt by a newcomer in order to be accepted, vi. feeling or climate - the impression created by physical layout and how staff interact with outsiders. Both Schein (1985) and Bass and Stogdill (1990) show evidence that where the above factors develop into an organisational culture that is resistant to change, it becomes difficult to envisage how successful development and innovation may be achieved. Examples are particularly striking in this regard where technology has dramatically altered the nature of certain tasks and change implementation has been resisted at a high cost to all concerned.. i.e. the newspaper and printing industries, television and video services, railway signalling and robotics in production industries. From a management perspective the prospect of implementing change against such resistance would represent a considerable challenge. If the stimuli for change were clear and strong, then the pressure on a manager to implement change would be likely to be considerable. But ironically, when such change is tackled, a worsened situation is probable for the manager. . .. -- httos : / /-www.nclrs.gov /policing /manl99.htm 12/15/2014 - __ . THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 14 of 17 This presents a personal dilemma for managers. Is the change to be avoided and the short term prospect . improved, leaving the long term position at risk? Or, is the change tackled with probable high personal costs in the short term, with the long term outcome possibly remaining uncertain? If the manager is experiencing stress from other aspects of working life, then in the face of such a dilemma, it would not be surprising to find the manager adopting methods for avoiding change as a deliberate strategy. (Basil and Cook 1974) The view that organisational cultures tend to persist and are often resistant to change was advanced earlier; but there is not a straightforward solution to avoid the managers' dilemma and to achieve successful implementation of cultural changes. Kilmann et al (19 85) suggests that if managers wish to change cultures they need to consider three steps: i. minimising the opportunity for external justification and the minimal use of extrinsic forms of motivation, rewards, punishment, ii. giving individuals the opportunity to see the inherent worth of what they are being asked to do, intrinsic motivation, iii. providing a way out of the organisation for people who cannot accept the new pattern of values and beliefs. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - SUNK COSTS The 'sunk cost' concept refers to the situation where time, energy and/or money have been invested in an existing system by key individuals who retain some influence. Sunk costs can include vested interests, but may also represent the considerable investment of personal resources in the current systems made by an experienced manager. (Kast and Rosenzweig 198 1) This may mean that regardless of the merits of a proposal, an experienced manager may be highly resistant to changing the situation in which he has a sunk cost. Thus attempts to alter the status quo by either external consultants, or internal innovators is likely to encounter this difficulty. The sunk cost concept may therefore explain why it appears to be more difficult to bring about changes in an organisation that is predominately populated by older, more experienced individuals. They are simply more likely to have sunk costs in existing systems. Moss - Kanter (1984) refers to a similar phenomenon ( "Innovating Against the Grain" pg. 69) and suggests that it is rare in any long established, traditional organisation for a manager to be positively innovative. "...in such organisations, most people never bother to peruse ideas for improvements." (pg. 70) RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - PERSONAL STRATEGIES The following categories, drawn from a variety of sources, (Hyde 1990, Basil and Cook 1974, Schein 1985) show some methods by which managers might form deliberate personal strategies to avoid change. It will be argued that whether or not they are successful will depend to a large extent on their prevailing psychological condition and how far the manager might be committed, either individually, or conspiratorially to resisting change. It will be noted that the first three methods are also the involuntary means by which humans cope with other unpleasant psychological effects. For instance, ignoring the obvious, or blocking out is the brain's reaction to high and excessive levels of stress. Looking backwards is a means of coping with present unpleasant emotions, (such as bereavement) and simplification is a short term solution to coping with an excessive number of simultaneous difficulties of many types. (Davies and Shackleton 1975) The issue here is that these three methods are natural human responses that are a part of the brain's programmed defence mechanisms. These defence responses help to protect individuals from unpleasant and https: / / www.ncjrs gov /policing/mani 99.htm 12/15/2014 THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 15 of 17 potentially damaging effects, which make the identification of what is an individual's deliberate strategy and what is a natural reaction, difficult to separate. i. Blocking out - by adopting a'closed mind' which selectively rejects any input associated with the subject of change, it is possible for the individual to ignore any issues that are thought likely to be conflictual or troublesome. A problem can be compounded when potentially manageable changes are avoided to the extent that the problems build to a point where they present an insoluble crises to the individual. ii. Looking backwards - the individual adopting this method relies upon earlier experiences by applying 'yesterdays' solutions to 'today's' problems. The approach may be seen as potentially safe, but frequently the problems will be significantly altered through time within open organisations. The environment in which the problems exist will also probably have changed to a point where existing solutions may be inappropriate. It is highly probable that neither problems or solutions in social systems remain the same. There may also be a tendency for individuals to reflect upon successful strategies that have contributed to personal success and achievement in the past. It may be tempting in such circumstances to consider that similar strategies might always produce the same successes. iii. Simplification - the when the situation to which the change relates, is made easier to understand and tackle by narrowing and simplifying the issues to a point of over generalisation trivialisation, or superficiality. In the search for a straightforward and non fallible change, the individual may reduce the complexity of a seemingly insoluble problem to a simple and safe change that is not too threatening to herself, himself, or others. Superficially it may look as though change has taken place, whereas in reality any change is marginal. Such an avoidance approach may be seen as the opposite to a systefic approach to .change. iv. Tokenism - a more sophisticated version of simply doing nothing, Typically the individual will agree to changes, debate implementation programmes etc., but practically, only the most superficial change will occur. This avoidance method is often associated with an apparently highly active approach to the changes, designed to persuade others (and perhaps the individual ?) that change is progressing. However, once the activity has ceased, little will have changed in practice. v. Specialisation - involves concentration on a narrow subject to the exclusion of all other information and issues. It is another method that can be successfully adapted by the individual to demonstrate that change is taking place, whereas in reality little is occurring. Changes in the area of speciality have the potential to be successful in the short term. Ultimately, it is probable the changes will affect other elements of the system and wider more adventurous changes will have to be tackled, with the perceived attendant risks to the individual. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - CONFUSION Whenever individuals do not clearly understand the purpose, mechanics, or consequences of a change they are likely to resist it. (Kast and Rosenzweig 1981) If individuals involved in the implementation process, especially line managers, are to be effective, then it is essential that they know exactly what it is that has to be achieved. Of crucial importance is confusion or uncertainty about what lies ahead. In the absence of any knowledge about the changes that have taken place, or which are about to take place, rumour and speculation regarding negative consequences are almost certain to develop. It has been argued in this chapter that organisational change is frequently perceived by staff in a negative context. Given that this occurs, it would not be surprising to find that where individuals are confused as to the future, resistance to the change develops faster than otherwise. A potential solution to this situation would be to increase communication and thus learning about the change. The relationship between learning and confusion as a feature of the change process is presented in the model at Figure 7 _ hops :I /_www.ncrs:gov /policinglmanl 99.htm 12/15/2014 THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS HIGH LOW I F FA Leering F n ?? ?�B n +1 t o +2 n +3 Occurs TIME Figure 7 Relationship Between Learning and Confusion Following Organisational Change Page 16 of 17 Here levels of learning and confusion are shown in an inverse relationship through stages of time. As learning about change increases, so confusion is reduced and thus resistance is also potentially reduced. Often associated with high levels of confusion are high levels of anxiety, but as confusion reduces, confidence will increase and anxiety will reduce. Implicit from Figure 7 is the notion that the reverse situation applies. If there is only little or ineffective communication, then there will be limited learning and thus the state of confusion and resistance to change will persist. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE - INDIVIDUAL'S DYNANUCS The variety and intensity of the human factors affecting the process of change have been shown to combine together to form a highly complex psycho social sub system. This complexity is compounded by the varying responses from individuals as the change process progresses through time. This progress and an individuals, response to it may be termed an individual's dynamic response to change. It is suggested by a number of writers, especially from the Human Relations school of thought, (Trist 1968, Glen 1975, et al) that if as individual perceives he or she has ownership of the change then they will feel able to exercise some control over the situation. Similarly, if an individual is at least allowed to participate and influence the change process, then some degree of ownership and control will be felt. (Williams 1994) However if the perceived level of an individual's control over a change process is low, then it might be suggested that many of the elements and outputs of the psycho social sub - system will manifest as a resistance to change. The cause of the resistance to change may alter through time, thus amounting to a continuum of obstacles to the change process. To an observer, it wiil'not- necessarily be possible to determine which particular output of an individual's psycho social sub system is causing the resistance at any particular time, although it might possibly be apparent if the individual(s) displays any behaviours associated with the resistance, i.e. anger, ..:......h . sa /-www.nc'rs. ov/ olicin /manl99.htm - ttp J g p g 12115/2014- THE MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS Page 17 of 17 'depression, stress. CONCLUSIONS This paper has sought to establish a number of principles of change management that are particularly significant to the implementation of change in policing systems, as follows: i. Communication - an effective means of communicating both the vision, need and the nature of the changes foreseen, is an essential feature of the change process. (Beckhard and Harris 1987) External communications become significant as the police system increases in 'openness' and the need to exchange information about changes necessary to improve outputs becomes relevant. These aspects of the change process have been shown to be especially significant within policing systems. ii. Management Support - a willingness to change by senior management cannot be assumed to consistent with the views of individuals at operational or intermediate levels. The active support of senior and intermediate managers is essential to satisfactory change (Tyson and Jackson 1992) . iii. Leadership - has been shown as necessary in order to overcome the high levels of uncertainty likely to accompany major change. The principles of effective change leadership (Bass 1990) should be applied to individuals and groups experiencing difficulty with practising new procedures and working within unfamiliar circumstances. Effective leadership will reduce confusion, improve individual's levels of confidence and self esteem, thus improving work performance. iv. Change Targets - in recognising the difficulty of changing organisational culture, it is suggested that to be successful, change must affect each of the associated change targets simultaneously, if long term evolutionary change is considered as too slow for the needs of the organisation. For instance, appropriate management support and effective communication must be swiftly followed by changes to structures that are seen as reinforcing the nature of the change. Such changes must then be aligned with the necessary alterations to systems and procedures that actually produce the altered style of output. It has been shown that reliance on a single approach to change implementation is likely to be unsuccessful in a strong anti - culture. v. Coercive and Participative Change - the above conclusion leads to the proposition that a combination of an initial coercive change, succeeded by more participative approaches to further changes, is likely to be appropriate where a strong culture exists (ibid.). It has been shown that unless the organisational culture can be altered sufficiently quickly, the culture may become a powerful force in resisting further attempts at change. It is unlikely that a participative approach to change would be successful in negotiating major, fundamental changes, perceived, as deeply affecting cultural norms. As many of the inducements and motivators available to commercial organisations are not available to police, it is concluded that coercive change is necessary to quickly tackle resistant cultural issues. Such an approach should be followed with a more participative style to address associated detailed changes. vi. Change Teams it has been argued that major change to policing systems is an inherently complex process. It is suggested as highly unlikely that the requisite skills detailed here for the management of the change processes will be available in a single individual or focused to a single individual by a hierarchical structure. Rather, the necessary complementary skills and experience might be incorporated in the concept of a'change team' or 'task force' (Pedler et al 199 1) which is suggested as appropriate within police systems. Multiple changes within different functions and locations might be achieved by establishing a 'network of teams' as suggested by Katzenbach and Smith.

Pugh, Jr. Mr. Pugh was instrumental in providing youth and senior programs at the John F. Kennedy Community Center so that area residents would have a safe place to live, participate, and recreate in the Ellicott District. On behalf of the citizens, I would like to request that the gym within the center be named in honor of Mr. Moody W. Pugh, Jr. As a lifelong Ellicott District native, Mr. Pugh worked tirelessly to ensure that residents across the district were engaged in social action to better themselves and their neighborhood. As a devoted Christian and faithful member of Calvary C.M.E. Church, Mr. Pugh and his wife Maryetta have led many people to make a change in their personal lives and also to make a change within the community. Through his leadership, many social justice issues were addressed by City Hall Officials and many current social activists have modeled their activities after the work done by Mr. Pugh. I believe that it will be an honor to recognize his many years of service to the Ellicott District community by naming the gym within the JFK Community Center in honor of Mr, Pugh. If you need any additional information, please contact my District Office at (716) 842 - 0490.1 look forward to working with you to honor the Iife and legacy of Mr. Moody W.

Is Housing Court the best vehicle for addressing housing code violations? The City Charter grants the Commissioner of Permits and Inspections the power to fine and hear cases. Under what circumstances do cases stay with building inspectors and under what circumstances does the case escalate to housing court? 2. Cost calculator: How much does it cost to get a property into compliance — from initial 311 Or 911 call to inspection, to housing court, through many adjournments.? Fee structure and fine schedule should recover all costs. 3. Process: Where is the line in the sand? How many violations, how many adjournments, how many no- shows, how many years of non - compliance, before a landlord is jailed or a rental license is revoked? 4. Process: How many 311 or 911 calls is too many? Suggestion —a "disproportionate use fee" to recover some of the admin costs incurred by city and police for slumlord owned property. 5. Technology: If I want to know a history of a property, it is not possible to get complete information. Is there an initiative in place to get a Technology grant for better databases so that 311, 911, bldg. code violations, housing court appearances, and licensing information is available for analysis and better outcomes? 6. Triage housing court cases. Can we isolate the worst of the worst, the longest standing cases and monitor progress to get better results? 7. Attach fines for property codes violations as a primary lien on the property. How to initiate at the city level? 8. Establish a category for off - premise, not in proximity landlords with multiple properties. Regulate as a business, with special licensing, fee and fine structure. Who initiates? Is this policy, process or legislation?

Ferdman, Esq. (Hiscock Barclay Saperston & Day) David E. Gutowski, Esq. (Damon & Morey) CC:.......... David J. State Esq., Jessie Schnell and Harvey Garrett DATE: June 12, 2002 12E: Fighting Blight INTRODUCTION On April 18, 2002 we met with David State to discuss what process was available to aid in the community's battle with absentee landlords against the spreading and accelerating deterioration of the West Side and other parts of the City caused by the way they operate (neglect) their properties. Attached is David State's helpful April 19, 2002 letter, which outlines and attaches City Code provisions, relevant case law and a sample Housing Court Search Warrant with underlying papers. The burden of identifying and pursuing problem properties currently rests on the communities that are being preyed upon. The problems of an onerous enforcement process and underempowered city officials cause further deterioration of our communities rather than demonstrating any discernable progress. It can take months and years to resolve a sing issue (when resolved at all) while the neighborhoods deteriorate around the problem property, thus encouraging further negligent behavior. .. ......... .... Our -- conclusion.. s- that the. la.w..s. already_ x st to..sh!ut.. down bad..prarerties , withou..t .. having to rely exclusively on City Housing Court. However, for some reason, it appears that inspectors and other personnel in charge of enforcement are not using the legal resources at their disposal effectively or efficiently. . ACCESS TO PROEM PROPERTIES There is already a procedure in place for housing inspectors to obtain warrants to gain access to the interior of problem properties. As we understand it, the process requires the housing inspector to identify the problem property and provide all relevant information regarding the property to an appropriate City Attorney. The City of Buffalo Corporation Counsel's Office then processes the paperwork and coordinates the application with the City of Buffalo Police 1 Councilmernber Dominic Bonifacio June l2, 2002 Page 2 Department, which must accompany the Housing Inspector when the warrant is served. Reports of criminal activity or the results of a detailed exterior inspection may provide the requisite probable cause for issuance of a warrant to gain entrance to the interior. However, we have learned that Housing Inspectors are instructed not to make use ofthis warrant_ procedure Obviously, in situations where neither the owner nor the tenant will allow . City Inspectors access to the interior of the property, inspectors should (at least in some cases concerning severe problem properties) resort to this warrant procedure. Gaining access to the property will allow better observation of building code violations, as well as other potential health and safety risks. Moreover, whether or not the City decides to prosecute the owner through an administrative proceeding (see discussion below) or in City Housing Court, inspectors will be able to build a far stronger case based on an interior inspection, rather than relying exclusively on an exterior inspection. We strongly recommend that the City consider developing a coordinated effort between housing inspectors, the Corporation Counsel's office and the Buffalo Police Department to establish and implement guidelines for warrant applications by City inspectors. CERTIIFICCATES OF OCCUPANCY — THREE OR MORE UNITS With respect to buildings containing three or more living units, the City requires that those Buildings all have certificates of occupancy ( "C.O. ") in order to operate. David State explained that there is a procedure currently in place, which is set forth in Buffalo Code §§ 129 -7 and 123 -8, which permits the City to revoke the C.O. for various reasons, including: 129 -7 C. ff any applicable law, ordinance, code or regulation has not been complied with.... 129 -7 E. If violations of laws, ordinances, codes or regulations are not corrected within the time period specified in any notice of such violation. These provisions clearly permit the City to revoke the C.O. if there are uncorrected building code violations. Section 129 -8 sets forth a procedure for revocation that allows the City to revoke the C.U. through an administrative proceeding. If this process is implemented, the C.O. can be revoked without My involvement by the Housing Court The procedure simply requires a written notice of intention to revoke, a City Hall hearing and a detennination by the hearing officer. Once the C.O. is revoked, the building owner can no longer legally operate his building, and it must be shut down. a� 1 Councilmember Dominic Bonifacio June 12, 2002 Page 3 The building owner has the right to seek reversal of the City's decision to revoke the C.O., but that puts the burden on the building owner to take the City to court to try to get his C.O. reinstated and his building reopened. Thus, the legal burden, as well as the expense, is where it should be — on the neglectful building owner, not on the City and community. We strongly recommend that this procedure, which is already the law, be used with vigor against bad properties. This would require building inspectors to be aggressive in entering anti, writing up the properties, and would take away the usual lament of building inspectors that the courts aren't tough enough once the building code violations are written up. LANDLORD LICENSING — ONE Olt TWO UNITS As to one and two -unit buildings, which do not require certificates of occupancy, Buffalo Code § 264 -1 through 264 -19 requires that the owners of such buildings obtain licenses in order to operate them. (§ 264 -3). The law further provides for an administrative process for revoking landlord licenses, similar to that discussed above for certificates of occupancy for multiple dwellings of three and greater. If any of the provisions of § 264 are violated, the license can be revoked after notice and an administrative hearing in City Hall (§ 264 -10). Section 264 -6 requires compliance with the Housing Code. This means that if the property owner is properly written up by the building inspector, the property must be upgraded or it can be shut down. Once property owners invest significant dollars to upgrade their properties, they have a stake in controlling tenant behavior. Thus, once again, building code inspectors play a large role in effective control of bad landlords and deteriorating neighborhoods. We understand that, although these provisions are now the law, they are not enforced. We strongly recommend that the City implement the licensing law. This law would be an effective tool in combating blight, and implementation should not require significant additional resources. ................ _ ............. ROOMING "LODGING" HOUSES.. . Rooming houses are governed by Chapter 269 of the Buffalo City Code. Section 269 -9 allows the City to administratively revoke the lodging house Iicense both for failure to comply with building codes and nuisance problems at the property, including criminal activity. We understand that this law has been used effectively on a number of occasions, which further illustrates the positive effects of diligent enforcement and provides a model for implementation of the landlord licensing law. See Discussion regarding "Access to Problem Properties," above. 0 Councilmember Dominic Bonifacio June 12, 2002 Page 4 ERIE COUNTY'S ROLE Erie County should be asked to determine whether the Department of Social Services has the power to discontinue rent checks if dwellings are not up to code (or if there were certain number of police calls to the building). Perhaps particular operators of buildings could be targeted by the Department of Social Services. SQUATTERS IN ABANDONED PROPERTY This is a complicated problem. Where an owner, or perhaps a bank, can be determined, a nuisance suit brought by the City or the surrounding property owners could be effective because remedies include monetary damages resulting from diminution of surrounding property values and an injunction compelling the owner to abate the nuisance. It is possible to theorize that a bank which has deliberately not completed a foreclosure has abandoned the property and created the nuisance, but this is a novel theory. Most importantly, root causes of abandonment must be determined and the institutions that have unwittingly created conditions for such abandonment must be asked to change policy. These institutions include HUD (sales of properties over the Internet which are not policed for actual families who will live in the properties); the City and County for their policies as to when the properties will actually go In Rem and be taken over by the City (rather than sold by the City and County to unscrupulous "bottom fisher" absentee owners); and local banks (who could be asked not to sell mortgages of City properties to out -of -town banks, which currently happens regularly). CONCLUSION In short, laws are already in existence to control deteriorating housing stock. Deteriorating neighborhoods already exist, but they do not have to. It is a question of implementation and enforcement of these laws. The will to effectively control the literally out - of control problem of unconscionable.. landlords preying upon ... city neighborhoods. must be - instilled in the public officials whose jobs include management of the City's housing. We strongly recommend that the City fully implement and make use of all the laws cited above. Effective implementation and use of these laws against problem landlords will require the creation of guidelines and education of all inspectors by City managers to make sure that the inspectors are aware of all the tools they have available to them, including especially warrants and administrative proceedings. Only the most aggressive response to the growing problem of deteriorating housing should be acceptable. We also recommend that the Mayor and /or Common Council convene meetings with HUD, local banks, and the City and County administrators of real property tax policy explore Poloncarz Grills ECHDC About Cost Overrun f I � !' \0 `\Page 1 of 2 Gtr 0 Poloncarz Grills ECHDC About Cost Overrun Dave McKinley, WGRZ 1:01 p.m. EST December 15, 2014 Company managing Canalside awarded 50% increase for contract agreed to last year. BUFFALO, NY - The Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation (ECHDC) Board of Directors today voted to approve an additional $860,000 expense for the contract it signed nearly a year ago with a firm to manage Canalside, a recreational area along the waterfront in downtown Buffalo. The vote to approve the 50% increase did not come without questions, primarily from Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, who sits on the ECHDC board (but not as a voting member) and made no secret of his displeasure with the additional expenses. In January, the ECHDC entered into a contract with Global Spectrum, one of the world's largest venues management companies, for public space management at Canalside in Buffalo. With the increase, Global Spectrum is now being paid $2.57 million to manage Canalside, under a contract that is due to expire on March 31 2015, and is currently under negotiation for renewal. Poloncarz noted that Global Spectrum Inc. spent its entire annual contract in less than 9 months, wondering.aloud how that was even possible. "We're a victim of our own success," responded ECHDC Chairman Robert Gioia, in explaining that the management company wanted extra pay for extra programs that were added in the past year at Canalside, including viewing parties for the 2014 World Cup involving large screen TVs.

Dec Poloncarz was especially concerned because the request came just days before the.. (Zvideos /sports/ ECHDC is due to open —after numerous delays -ice skating on the historically aligned canals at Canalside. Board member David Colligan also voiced displeasure, saying he felt boxed in by the request, as did Poloncarz, who expressed a concern that the highly anticipated skating venue would not open as planned if the additional monies were not approved. I feel like we're being 'held up' here," said Colligan, who advised the board he'd be hard pressed to vote on similar change orders in the future, let alone a renewal of the contract with Global Spectrum. Poloncarz says he will seek a full accounting of the costs associated with Global Spectrum's contract to determine "what went wrong ". "I can assure everyone, that every dime spent in that contract was spent toward the public use and enjoyment of Canalside," Gioia told WGRZ -TV following the meeting where the additional contract costs were approved.

Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, " S Christopher P. Scanlon South District Councilmember 3 �� F- December 18, 2014 Another Voice/ Who's looking out for our police while they're looking out for us? By Christopher P. Scanlon In recent months, we've heard a national and local call for officers to learn how to respect and work with the communities they serve. This respect MUST be mutual. Respect is earned, not implicit. Somewhere along the way, this has been forgotten in today's society. Our officers are spit on, verbally abused and even physically attacked. How can we continue to expect them to protect and serve our communities when many citizens do not even show them the same basic respect every human being is entitled to? We cannot. Exactly when did we begin treating criminals better than our men and women in blue? Too often when a discrepancy arises between accounts of what may or may not have taken place during an arrest, our officers are placed on suspension, without pay, while the alleged offender is considered innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, where is the support from their superiors that these officers have every right to expect? Although I am against professional misconduct in any Iine of work, I fully support the right of these officers to have due process of law when suspected misconduct occurs. According to a University at Buffalo decade long study released in 2008, law enforcement officers are at risk for high blood pressure, increased Ievels of destructive stress hormones, insomnia, heart problems, post - traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide. They work under extremely stressful, dangerous conditions and see things most of us could not dream. o£ All of which result in a heightened risk of physical and mental health issues. Our local Buffalo police officers are no exception. They deal with murderers, rapists, gang members, child molesters and drug dealers on a daily basis. They willingly say goodbye to their families each day, knowing it may be for the last time, to face the evils of the world on our behalf. Performing the due tasks that a police officer is responsible for should be appreciated and applauded, not continuously and publicly scrutinized. I advise my colleagues in government to proceed with extreme caution when considering limitations on police procedure and policy. I have had many recent discussions with officers throughout the city - black, white, Latino, male, female - and all are concerned with the current climate both locally and nationally. They fear an environrrlent is being fostered that will limit their ability to protect and serve the residents of Buffalo by enabling a total disregard for authority and the law. It is imperative for the safety and well -being of the general public, as well as police officers, that we do not eliminate an officer's ability to safely and properly do their job. Christopher P.

RESOLUTION In the Common Council of the City of Buffalo, On December 23, 2014 Council Member David A. Franczyk submitted the following resolution: Trailblazing Sign in Honor of John (Jack/Brizzy) & Shirley Britzzalaro Whereas, Trailblazing Signs, otherwise known as honorary street names, are generally assigned to honor and commemorate noteworthy persons associated with the City of Buffalo; and Whereas, The Common Council has received a request for a Trailblazing Sign to honor John (Jack/Brizzy) & Shirley Britzzalaro; and Whereas, The request for a Trailblazing Sign, serves as a tribute to the Britzzalaro Family whose lives were centered at 138 Louisiana Street. Unfortunately, the State will soon take over the property and the family home of many years will be torn down. This sign will pay tribute to the Britzzalaro family and leave behind a lasting .memory of the family home since the early 1900's; and Whereas, A Trailblazing Sign is an appropriate honor for Jack(Brizzy)& Shirley Britzzalaro, whose tireless work ethic and dedication to their family, community and country serves as an example for the community to follow. Now, Therefore Be It Resolved that The City of Buffalo Common Council- 1) Hereby approves the installation of Trailblazing Signage proclaiming the corner of Louisiana Street and South Street as "Jack (Brizzy) & Shirley Britzzalaro Way "; and 2) Directs the Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets to erect the sign(s) to this effect once all fees associated with the positioning of the Trailblazing Signs have been satisfied.

The mission also speaks about respect and integrity. It is imperative that the police department ensures the continued respect and acknowledgement of the significance of the people who make up our communities and what is important to them. When carrying out police operations police are to be respectful of the people they serve as well as their homes, their property and their pets; and Whereas: The City of Buffalo Common Council recognizes the importance of change for any organization to remain viable and effective. Research has proven to have an accurate analysis of a situation in need of change, it is important to examine the social and psychological aspects of an organization and the environment it functions in. Law enforcement personnel are under tremendous strains every day and understanding how their mental, emotional and sociological environments are affecting their actions is an important aspect in achieving organizational change. Now, Therefore be it Resolved: That the City of Buffalo Common Council request that the Administration conduct a Listen and Learn Tour of all four quadrants of the city to hear residents, community leaders and other stake holders on the concerns, accolades and perceptions of law enforcement. The City of Buffalo also request that when conducting the tours, that the Administration involve professionals with organizational change experience and with sociological and psychological expertise. The City of Buffalo Common Council additionally request that the Administration take the information learned and find ways to incorporate positive change into training of entering and current officers and into maintaining and enhancing the department; Now, Therefore be it Further Resolved: That the City of Buffalo directs Internal Affairs conduct the following tasks with the data to be made available upon request by the Police Oversight Committee and during claims meetings when the city is considering settling a case of police misconduct: 1. Collect data of race for both complainant and accused. 2. Collect data of location of alleged incident. 3. Collect data on the number of other complaints and final disposition against a particular law enforcement officer. 4. Collect data of accused animal abuse including number of personal pets put down by specific law enforcement that would include the same information including pedigree of animal; Now, Therefore be it Further Resolved: rN That the Council request that the Administration consult with both The National Federation for Just Communities of Western New York and the Concerned CIergy Coalition of Western New York to consider their plans of action and that both The National Federation for Just Communities of Western New York and the Concerned Clergy Coalition of Western New York appear before the Common Council Police Oversight Committee to summarize past effective methods and a new plan of action; Now, Therefore be it Finally Resolved: That the Council request that any major accusation of police misconduct that is leveled against an officer should be reported to the Police Oversight Committee, in order that they are kept abreast and when appropriate to notify the District Councilmember so that they can appropriately and accurately respond to constituent and community concerns.

ADOPT DISCHARGE APPROVED 61:�' Majority Leader Masten District Councilmember NOV A14 #1 (Rev. 1193) One Page Communication to the Common Council TO: THE COMMON COUNCIL DATE: October 6, 2014 FROM: DEPARTMENT: Office of Strategic Planning DIVISION: Real Estate SUBJECT: .Report of Sale 405 Grider, Vacant Lot East Side, 170' North of Litchfield Lot Size: 40'x 125' Assessed Valuation: $5,000 (Masten District) The Office of Strategic Planning, Division of Real Estate has received a request from Melanie Marotto, Esq. on behalf of the Grider Community Gardens, LL.C, 462 Grider Street, Buffalo, New York 14215 to purchase 405.Grider. The Grider Community Gardens owns the vacant lots at 431, 429, 425, 421, 419 & 415 Grider. They would like to purchase the city owned lot which is located 3 lots down from the property they own at 415 Grider. They intend to purchase the lot in order to beautify, use for community green space and future development. The Office of Strategic Planning Land Use Planning Committee, Division of Permit and Inspection Services and the Division of Collections have no objections to the sale. There are no building code violations, taxes or other liens owed to the City of Buffalo by the purchaser. A market analysis performed by the Division of Real Estate showing similar sales in the area range from Thirty -Five Cents ($.35) to Eighty -Five .Cents ($.85) per square foot. Grider Community Gardens has agreed and is prepared to pay Four Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($4,200), Eighty -Four Cents (.84) per square foot for the subject property.

L* Resolution By: Majority Leader and Masten District Council Member Demone Smith Re: Municipal Wi -Fi Whereas: A municipal network can provide free or low -cost, high -speed internet access to the general population. As society becomes more internet based the digital divide is a reality and municipalities must address the issue. President Obama has stated: "We have to treat internet like a public utility." and Whereas: More than 200 United States cities have active municipal networks or definite plans to build one. Some of these networks provide high -speed Internet access for free, or for substantially less than the price of other broadband services. Others are for city use only -- they allow police and fire departments and other city employees to do certain aspects of their jobs remotely. Networks can improve worker productivity, make the city more attractive to businesses, bolster the economy and bridge the digital divide from one network. The United States is 16th in the world in broadband penetration, which some leaders believe is a sign that the nation is falling behind. A wireless network might make broadband access more available and affordable for more people; and Whereas: Networks follow one of the following four models: • The city owns the network, which is for city use only • The city owns the network, which is for city or public use • The city owns the network, and ISPs lease access to it, passing that access on to the public • A service provider owns and operates the network, providing access to the city, the public and even other service providers; and Whereas: Networks can make inexpensive Voice over IP (VoIP) phone calls more practical, which can save money for people, businesses and the government. Networks can also make city workers' jobs substantially easier with applications like automated meter reading. Building, fire and restaurant inspectors can file reports without returning to the office, cutting down on their travel time. This is another way that cities can see a return on their investment in the network - they save money on travel, equipment and fees paid for existing communications networks: • Networks can also give police and firefighters remote access to security cameras, blueprints, criminal records and other necessary information. They can let officers show witnesses mug shots or "virtual line -ups" at the scene of a crime. V -�) p6l., N Most people connect to a wireless network using the 2.4 GHz band of the radio spectrum. Public safety personnel can do this as well, using secure, encrypted connections. But they also have another option -- the 4.9 GHz band of the spectrum. This band is licensed. Access is limited to certain personnel, and it is for public safety use only. Putting public safety traffic into its own channel keeps it from getting bogged down during heavy use of the network. Wireless transmitters must have separate 4.9 GHz radios to use this frequency. Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA) systems originated from battlefield technology. MEA gives police officers, firefighters and others capabilities above and beyond an ordinary network. MEA radios can create an ad -hoc network. Officers with MEA - enabled radios can go into an area with no access to the rest of the network and still have access to one another. Media access control (MAC) filtering and encryption measures keep the network secure. During a disaster where power and phone lines fail, officers with vehicle- mounted modems and MEA radios can drive into the affected area and form a network with one another. Portable devices, like ruggedized laptops and PDAs, can use MEA - enabled wireless cards to communicate with the ad -hoc network. If one of these radios can connect to the ad -hoc and the mesh networks, it can form a bridge and connect the two. MEA networks can determine the location of a specific user within a network even if they were out of the line of site of the GPS satellites. This can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes for crews to find firefighters who are still in burning buildings or to zero in on injured policemen. The process works on vehicles, too. Now Therefore Be It Resolved That: The Common Council of the City of Buffalo wishes to explore the idea of implementing a Municipal Wi -Fi Network in the City of Buffalo and requests the Departments of Public Works, Strategic Planning, Telecommunications and Management Information Systems to advise on the best options for the City of Buffalo and possibility of implementing a Municipal, i -Fi Network of its own. Demone Smith Majority Leader Masten District Council Member A RESOLUTION By: Majority Leader and Masten District Council Member Demone Smith RE: OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE WORKERS COMPENSATION BOARD MEDICAL FEE SCHEDULE Whereas: It was recently announced by the Hon. Robert Beloten, Chairman, of the Workers Compensation Board, that a proposal was being considered to modify the Workers Compensation Medical Fee Schedule; Whereas: These proposed modifications to the Workers Compensation Medical Fee Schedule would transition from the current reasonable medical fee schedule to a fee schedule based on the RBRVS (Resource Based Relative Value Scale) used by Medicare; Whereas: These proposed changes that transition to the RBRVS used by Medicare would drastically reduce the fees receivable by medical specialists and medical surgeons who treat injured workers under the New York State Workers Compensation system; Whereas: These proposed changes to the RBRVS used by Medicare when adopted by five (5) other states had a catastrophic impact on the availability of quality medical care for injured workers in those states that adopted the RBRVS based medical fee schedule used by Medicare; Whereas: The treating physicians throughout New York State have made it exceedingly clear that they would not be able to maintain a medical practice to treat injured Workers if the Workers Compensation Board adopted a fee schedule based on the RBRVS and therefore, would not be able to provide specialty and surgical medical care to injured workers throughout New York State because it will be cost prohibitive; Whereas: The automobile No -Fault insurance medical fee schedule automatically follows the medical fee schedule of the Workers Compensation system; Whereas: Any negative change in the New York State Workers Compensation Medical Fee Schedule would negatively impact the automobile no -fault medical fee schedule; Whereas: This proposed modification of the medical fee schedule would drastically impact the quality of medical care received by the citizens of New York injured in motor vehicle accidents throughout the State; Whereas: These proposed changes will drastically reduce the number and quality of medical specialist and surgeons presently available to treat injured workers under the workers compensation system and injured motorist under the New York State no�- fault insurance system; �� Whereas: The RBRVS schedule proposal will create disincentives for high quality medical -- specialists and surgeons to participate in the workers compensation system and the automobile No -Fault insurance system; Whereas: The citizens of New York injured at work, or injured in the operation of a motor vehicle are entitled to readily available quality medical care so that they can return to a productive life. Now therefore be It Resolved That the City of Buffalo Common Council: L.) Supports the current Workers Compensation Medical Fee Schedule and The automobile No -Fault medical fee schedule that incorporates the workers compensation schedule 2.) Opposes the adoption of the RBRVS used by Medicare for the Workers Compensation Medical Fee Schedule in New York State without receiving valuable input from the medical professions that may experience draconian effects from such a change, the NYS Trial Lawyers Association, AFSCME, local labor unions and the NYS WNY Delegation of Assembly members and Senators 3.) recognizes the rights of all citizens to available quality medical care when injured at work or while operating a motor vehicle in the State of New York. Be It Further Resolved That: A certified copy of this Resolution be sent immediately to Governor Hon. Andrew Cuomo, the Clerk of the NYS Assembly and NYS Senate, The NYS Workers Compensation Board, All members of the NYS WNY Delegation, NYS Trial Lawyers Association and All city of Buffalo unions. Be It Finally Resolved That: T ity of Buffalo Common Council requests that a copy of this Resolution be ed it the NYS Assembly for their "public hearing" held on Friday, December 9, 2Q 4. bne Smith jl Resolution Sponsor: Demone Smith RE: Waive Buffalo Museum of Science Event Fees Whereas: Chapter 175 of the Code of The City of Buffalo establishes a schedule of fees that are to be charged with respect to licenses, permits and activities required or regulated under the provisions of various chapters of the code; and Whereas: Get a Clue will be held on Friday, January 23, 2015; and Whereas: Beerology will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2015; and Whereas: Buffalo Mini Maker Faire will be held on Saturday, June 6,2015; and Whereas: Star Lights will be held Saturday, June 11, 2015; and Whereas: Bubblefest will be held Saturday, September 19, 2015 Whereas 2015 Gala will be held Saturday, October 17, 2015 Whereas: These are annual events held by the Museum that will educate and entertain the community; and Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: The Common Council of the City of Buffalo waive the Special Event Fees for Get a Clue, Beerology, Buffalo Mini Maker Faire, Star Lights, Bubblefest, 2015 Gala; and Be it Further Resolved: the City Clerk forward a copy of this resolution to the Director of Special Events �� pp PASSED Demone Smith Majority Leader- Buffalo Common Council Masten District Councilmember 0� �l1 [MAJ- 51 q � [ - 6] [314 - 7) 'AYES NO FOWMA FR INCZYK # ,J y1gTy GO�LOM BEK T Y yyy LOCMT - O T T r � � PRIDGEN RTVEkA T T SCANLON .
