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 or places 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 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).

REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION NO. 2636 W. MURRAY- FOREST LAWN- SUPPORT LINWOOD HISTORIC DISTRICT EXPANSION Dear Mr. Niemiec, Thank you providing us with detailed information regarding plans to expand the Linwood Preservation District to include all properties fronting on Linwood Avenue north to West Delevan Avenue. It is gratifying to know that there is widespread community support for preservation in the Linwood Avenue corridor. As you know, Forest Lawn has a long tradition of supporting historic preservation and celebration of Buffalo's rich history, and the Linwood Avenue area is an important part of Forest Lawn's neighborhood. Indeed, there are undoubtedly prominent former residents of Linwood Avenue who are memorialized at Forest Lawn. Our policy of avoiding comment on governmental affairs that do not directly involve Forest Lawn prevents us from issuing a formal letter of support for the Linwood Preservation District expansion. However, we are supportive of all historic preservation efforts in the City of Buffalo, and applaud your efforts on behalf of the Linwood Preservation District expansion. Very truly yours, William M. Murray RECEIVED AND FILED NO. 2636 D. PRIDGEN -C. HORNE - STATEMENTREGARDING INJURY WHILE ON DUTY 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 were 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. During 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, 1 had to utilize, sick, vacation, personal leave and time without pay. They notified me that I was listed as AWOL several times throughout these years. I was instructed that I bad 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, 1 am unable to be included. In June of 2000, 1 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 leave 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, 1 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. :'I started the basic training without the physical portion. In the interim I wrote a letter 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 1 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 I 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 and was again forced back to work against doctor's orders and was not given IOD status again.

MILLER - WILLIAMS TO NAME GYM AT JFK MR. MODDY PUGH Dear Council President Pridgen: During my interactions with community groups and constituents within the Ellicott District, a request was made from community members to honor the life of community activist Mr. Moody W. 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 life and legacy of Mr. Moody W. Pugh Jr., one of our community gems who is still among us in 2014. Sincerely, Barbara Miller- Williams Erie County Legislator District 1 REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NO. 2540 D. PRIDGEN - WORKING INFORMATION FROM SLUMLORD COMMITTEE Draft Agenda -- Project Slumlord and Mayor Brown 1. 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? REFERRED TO THE SLUMLORD SUBCOMMITTEE NO. 2541 D. SMITH - ARTICLE - POLONCARZ GRILLS ECHCD ABOUT COST OVERRUN 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. "Due to the number of additional programs and concerts that were added to attract thousands of additional visitors, this is costing more to run than we originally anticipated it would," said Gioia, in promising a closer accounting of ongoing expenses, in order to keep surprises in the future at a minimum. Poloncarz was especially concerned because the request came just days before the 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. "1 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. REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NO. 2542 S. SCANLON- ARTICLE -WHO'S LOOKING OUT FOR OUR POLICE Another VoiceM/ho'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 1 earn 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 line 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 levels 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 of. 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 environment 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.

They are in the unique position of reporting to nine very different bosses; and WHEREAS: As an employee of nine separate bosses, they are oftentimes directed to draft resolutions and send out press releases related to an issue that a councilmember(s) fully supports while another councilmember(s) may feel strongly against it; and WHEREAS: Rather than put the staff member in the awkward and uncomfortable position of sending out potentially divisive press releases using their work email address with their personal name attached to it, a generic council staff email address should be used; and WHEREAS: This objectivity will allow central staff members the ability to do their job without the fear of receiving retribution or pushback from other councilmembers and /or members of the community; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the City of Buffalo Common Council respectfully requests the MIS Department to create a generic central staff email address to be used when sending out press releases and all other media correspondence; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City Clerk immediately forward a copy of this resolution to the Director of MIS for the City of Buffalo. raz.�ira.

ADOPT DISCHARGE PASSED AYES 9, NOES 0 NO. 2575 BY: MAJORITY LEADER AND MASTEN DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER DEMONE SMITH 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 failing 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 I (Vol P) 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. -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 Wi -Fi Network of its own. ADOPTED NO. 2676 BY: MAJORITY LEADER AND MASTEN DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER DEMONE SMITH 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; 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: 1.) 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: The City of Buffalo Common Council requests that a copy of this Resolution be filed with the NYS Assembly for their "public hearing" held on Friday, December 19, 2014.
