The base value of real property taxes that a taxing jurisdiction receives is set at the current level of real property tax revenues. As private sector development/investment occurs and the assessed value of the real property increases,the additional tax revenues above the base level (the "PIF Increment") can be used by the City for public infrastructure and other improvements. Savarino Companies (the "Company"), on behalf of 500 Seneca Street, LLC is redeveloping a 292,917 sq. ft., former manufacturing facility at 500 Seneca Street into apartments, "Class A" office space, retail space, and space for community service organizations (the"500 Seneca Project"). The site requires environmental remediation and has entered the New York State Brownfield Clean-up Program(BCP). The 500 Seneca Project is located in an Environmental Zone and is eligible for a New York State brownfield tax credit(the"BTC") for real property taxes/PILOT payments. The BTC encourages and incentivizes the Company to make real property tax/PILOT payments, instead of otherwise choosing a New York Real Property Tax Law Section 485-a real property tax abatement and then otherwise not paying real property taxes in any amount on the improvements for an eight year time period. Based on an estimated assessed value of$12,000,000 at completion of the 500 Seneca Project, the ECIDA estimates that the 500 Seneca Project would generate approximately$3,304,800 in new City tax revenue over the next ten years assuming no PILOT or other real property tax abatement(Section 485-a of the New York Real Property Tax Law) is utilized. If the 500 Seneca Project utilizes the Section 485-a real property tax abatement, it is estimated that the City would receive approximately $198,288 in new City tax revenue over the next ten years. t If a typical ECIDA PILOT(ten year PILOT term) is used by the Company, it is estimated that the City would receive approximately$694,008 over the ten year term of the PILOT for base value payments, and potentially $2,610,792 over ten years in PIF Increment over the base value payments that can be used for public infrastructure improvements related to the 500 Seneca Street project. 1 3 The Company and City of Buffalo have requested the ECIDA to assist with the 500 Seneca Project. The 500 Seneca Project as well as the JFK Community Center and Olivencia Center are located within the Seneca Street Corridor District (the "District") as described and identified within Exhibit A as attached hereto. In connection with the 500 Seneca Project and the continued and ongoing infrastructure needs at and within the District,the Company has requested that the Seneca Street Corridor District Fund (the "District Fund") be established by ECIDA to facilitate the acquisition, construction, and equipping of certain related public infrastructure improvements and public streetscape improvements in the District including but not limited to sidewalk reconstruction, curb reconstruction,tree planting, installation of street lighting,paving and public parking (the "Infrastructure Improvements"). Improvements are limited by what can be funded under IDA authority. The funding of the Infrastructure Improvements is beyond the ability of any single development project or the City and cannot be reasonably anticipated from state and federal grant programs and can only be accomplished through a true public-private partnership with the cooperation and support of the Company, the City, and the ECIDA. The Company will make PILOT payments to ECIDA, ECIDA will create the District Fund and deposit the appropriate amount of the PILOT payment into the District Fund, and the ECIDA will reimburse, only to the extent of the funds deposited into the District Fund,the City for the cost of improvements in the District as contemplated herein, including bond payments for the Seneca Street District. In recognition of the foregoing and in furtherance of the anticipated significant positive financial impacts within the City associated with the 500 Seneca Project and the Infrastructure Improvements, the Company has requested that the City and the ECIDA establish a PILOT Increment Financing Structure (the "PIF Structure") requiring that the Company make a PILOT payment,during the ten year term of the PILOT Agreement affecting the 500 Seneca Project,equal to the applicable current year full taxes that would normally be paid as if the ECIDA did not hold an interest in the Project, where the resulting difference, or "increment" between the full taxes and base value - the PIF Increment - is then used to finance the District Fund for purposes of funding the cost of Infrastructure Improvements within the District. A draft Memorandum of Understanding, to be executed by the Company, the City, and the ECIDA, is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and contains the understandings of the parties necessary to initiate establishment of the PIF Structure. In order for the ECIDA to utilize the PIF Increment as so desired by the Company and the City as contemplated herein, the ECIDA is required, pursuant to New York General Municipal Law Section 858(15),to secure the consent of the City of Buffalo. The Office of Strategic Planning is requesting that Your Honorable Body: Section 1. Determine and find that the 500 Seneca Project and the related Infrastructure Improvements are beneficial for the residents of the City and that the 500 Seneca Project and Infrastructure Improvements will promote the general health and welfare of the residents of the City. i 1 Section 2. Support the PIF Structure and consent to the City's participation in the District Fund and the use of the PIF Increment to fund the costs of the Infrastructure Improvements related to a the 500 Seneca Project for the benefit of the District and authorize the ECIDA to retain the PIF Increment for purposes of paying the costs related to the Infrastructure Improvements. Section 3. Authorize the Mayor of the City to execute and deliver the Memorandum of Understanding and authorize the Mayor and other pertinent City personnel to take all steps and actions and to execute and or develop, negotiate and process the necessary documents and agreements and or modifications thereto all as shall be reasonably necessary to facilitate the PIF and all of the foregoing all as are determined to be appropriated by the Corporation Counsel.

(Item No. 1646.C.C.P.09/01/15) The Department of Public Works, Parks,and Streets is requesting permission from Your Honorable Body to purchase from a single source supplier for the purchase of an Elgin Pelican street sweeper that Your Honorable Body approved the purchase of on September 1,2015. The City is also requesting permission to standardize its street sweeper fleet to the Elgin Sweeper to achieve operational and financial benefits by reducing inventory and allowing the interchange of parts and supplies. We currently have fourteen (14) Elgin Sweepers in our fleet. In addition,this vehicle boasts incomparable benefits to its counterparts including:superior viewing capacity,ease of coordination with dump truck for unloading debris,and rear wheel steering which all enhance our operator's ability to provide thorough services while ensuring the highest regard for safety around the vehicle. The Department of Public Works has had demonstrations from other manufacturers and feels that the Elgin Sweeper is the safest and most economical that meets our needs. In order to achieve these benefits and avoid purchasing duplicate parts and accessories unique to another brand,the department needs to solicit a single source bid for the specific brand of Elgin. If granted permission,the department will notify the Division of Purchase to solicit the Single Source Formal Bid to procure the product.

Guess, Jefferson Avenue and Wohlers Avenue. Housing At an earlier meeting this year, the Hamlin Park Taxpayers Association Reva W. Betha, Chair Dawn Hunter, Co Chair members voted to support a request for this organization to house Scholarship homeless veterans and their families at that location. Homeowners are protesting that the relocation of persons with previous sexual convictions place a very high level of non-safety and anxiety for children and families in this neighborhood. It is felt that the over-concentration of these individuals is wrong and inappropriate especially at this time when we are working hard to stabilize longtime residents and attract new homeowners. The Hamlin Park Taxpayers Association continues to support expanding housing services for veterans and their families at this location with the understanding that the owners will seek tenants that contribute to continuing positive relationships with neighbors.

It calls for: new sustainable funding for public transportation,building of new multimodal rail stations in Buffalo, and some specific Buffalo light rail extensions. This petition is directly related to, and a reflection of,the Common Council Resolution on public transit that was unanimously passed on April 2, 2013 (attached). It is important to support out petition at this time because there is growing political and community support for expanding Buffalo's Metro Rail and for addressing the NFTA funding difficulties. For example, Assemblyman Sean Ryan is supporting legislation that will address these issues as other states have recently done. Support from community leaders and municipalities for this petition will help our legislators make the case in Albany and Washington. Endorsers so far include The Partnership for the Public Good (representing 193 member organizations),the Sierra Club (Niagara Group), GOBike Buffalo,the Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo,the Campaign for Greater Buffalo and many more. It is also now being distributed to all cities,towns and villages in the region. We plan to announce the petition results at our Quarterly Meeting in October(where Sean Ryan will be speaking), so we are requesting responses by October 1, 2015, if possible. We will then share the results with the NFTA and State and Federal legislators. If you have any questions, please call me at 716-691-8528. Thank you for supporting this important call to action. Sincerely, Douglas Funke, President Citizens for Regional Transit RECEIVED AND FILED I 4� . 1 Buffalo Needs A Transit Revolution! A Petition for an Integrated and Sustainable Public Transportation System We the undersigned call on the NFTA and our business and community leaders to take action to provide more comprehensive and sustainable public transportation service for the Buffalo-Niagara Region. Specifically, we call for: (1) extensions of Metro Rail along the highest-demand corridors with (2) intermodal connectivity to air and inter-city rail and (3) establishment of longi;-term sustainable transit funding. Please add to the list of organizations and municipalities supporting this petition. Organization Authorizing Officer: Name: Position: Address: Phone: Signature: Date: Comment: Why We Need It: Attracting & Keeping Population - Growing numbers of Americans, notably young adults and baby boomers approaching retirement, prefer to locate in regions that have efficient multimodal mobility systems, including the option to live free of car dependency. The demand is for walkable, bikeable,mixed-use neighborhoods efficiently connected by transit. Parking & Congestion - Transit moves people safely and cost-effectively to work, shopping, and recreation without scarring our waterfront, parkland, and downtown streetscapes with acres of parking. Providing park-and-ride facilities for commuters and visitors outside the central city provides a hassle-free commuting option while decreasing traffic congestion, air pollution, and on-street parking shortages. Equity - Over 1/3 of Buffalo households do not own cars (2000 US Census). Rapid transit expands mobility options for all socioeconomic groups, including those who rely on public transportation to get to suburban jobs, shopping, healthcare, educational institutions, and all other personal needs. A household can expect to save $5,000 to $9,000 a year for each car it can do without (ConsumerReports.com). Economics - Investments in light rail and bus rapid transit are transforming cities across North I America and stimulating commercial and residential development along the improved transit lines (Transit-Oriented Development). Buffalo is blessed with existing, publicly owned rail rights-of-way CITIZENS for REGIONAL TRANSIT 617 Main Street,Buffalo,NY 14203 I along many heavily traveled corridors. These make expansion of our light rail system among the nation's most affordable. Comprehensive analysis of WNY's infrastructure needs and resources—and surveys of what our citizens want — led UB's Regional Institute and the Greater Buffalo Niagara Regional Transportation Council to recommend "making transit funding and system improvement a top priority" (One Region Forward Final Draft Plan,2014). The Environment - Automobiles in NYS collectively emit 70 million metric tons of CO2 per year, more than carbon emissions from industrial, residential, or commercial sources (2014 Draft NYS Energy Plan). Of all transportation-generated greenhouse gases, 61% come from passenger cars and light trucks (US EPA, 2013). We must offer car-free options to combat global warning. Buffalo's light rail trains already run partly on clean hydroelectric power - with the potential to run on 100% non-polluting Niagara Falls waterpower. We call for the NF TA and Buffalo-Niagara leaders to: Extend Metro Rail • To the airport—Prioritize extension of the Metro Rail from Downtown Buffalo to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport along our existing publicly owned rail rights-of-way. This extension will intersect many East Side bus lines while connecting the central business district with Larkinville, Central Terminal, Galleria Mall, Thruway Mall, and a Park-&-Ride off the 1-90 in Cheektowaga. • To the UB Amherst campus — Build on the ongoing NFTA study to connect all three UB campuses and to facilitate access to suburban shopping and jobs. • Through the DL&W Terminal to Larkinville — Extend Metro Rail through the DL&W Terminal to Larkinville, a first step in taking the existing line to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport while enabling car-free access to the First Niagara Arena, Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, our Waterfront,the Cobblestone District, and Downtown. • To the Bills Stadium—Any investment in a new or refurbished Buffalo Bills Stadium should ensure Metro Rail access, folding any necessary Metro Rail enhancements into its financing. This will satisfy the intense travel demand on Bills game days while improving the experience for those who choose to drive and tailgate. Any stadium parking facilities could double as Park-&-Ride lots for everyday commuting year-round. • To the Southtowns and Tonawandas — Preserve existing rail rights-of-way, so the original vision for a comprehensive network of light rail serving the Buffalo-Niagara Region can ultimately be realized. Create Multimodal Amtrak/Metro Rail Stations • Eliminate the existing Depew and Exchange Street Amtrak Stations and replace them with Multimodal Transportation Centers suitable for 21"century passenger service and eventually high-speed rail. These must feature a rapid transit connection to the airport and include bicycle and car share facilities. One station should be near Buffalo's waterfront and a second located further east where it can serve all Amtrak destinations. A restored Central Terminal should be a candidate for the second site. Establish long-term, sustainable dedicated funding • Establish permanent, reliable and sufficient funding streams for comprehensive multimodal public transportation in Buffalo-Niagara. This funding must be able to sustain the operations and maintenance of Metro Rail and all connecting transit services and infrastructure.

It will no longer be another eyesore and site of potential vandalism. Rather, it will be a source of new jobs(in excess of 15 in the 1St 3 years) and visitors, helping to elevate the perception of the Old First Ward and adding to the critical mass needed for lasting change. Our efforts.are currently stopped due to the inability to get upgraded.power to the building. Our tenant,Queen City Malting, has been ready and willing to commence operations as the first maltster in the City of Buffalo since the 1970s but cannot because of this extremely long and unfruitful process. After many months (Since April 2015)of working with National Grid, all other alternatives have been exhausted. Our building also faces on Republic Street and has received electrical service from that side of the building. We request that a new pole be allowed to be placed in the ROW on Republic St. near the. corner of Hamburg St.for the purpose of laterally stabilizing another existing pole on the corner of Hamburg and Republic Sts. With the addition of this pole,overhead wires can reach the pole in front of and on our property to serve our development needs. Thank you for your willingness to help us in this matter.

I i i 9/22/2015 City boots tenants at nuisance property-Gate House The Tribune By Jason Jordan Print Page The Evening Tribune September 14.2015 4:46PM City boots tenants at nuisance property HORNELL—Get with the program or get out.The City of Hornell is ramping up enforcement efforts aimed at holding 91q disruptive apartment tenants and their landlords responsible for neighborhood disturbances. ■ "It seems like every summer there's a house or two that are a problem,"said Hornell City Attorney Joseph Peylch. The city's Board of Public Safety met Thursday,to consider residents who have racked up enough points under the law $ (I III I to be evicted from 4 Sheldon Court. The nuisance ordinance keeps track of disturbances and illegal activities,assigning points based on the severity of each v<< problem.If a property receives enough points,it can be shut down and not eligible to be rented for up to a year. "There is one property at 4 Sheldon Court that has been a perennial problem with the tenants there and the number of Alleged bad behavior, including many police reports at the residence,"Mayor Shawn Hogan said. encounters with the police has caused Aletter was sent to the landlord/owner of the property Bill Birdsall,notifying him that the property was over the points the City of Hornell Board of Public Safety limit vin the owner the chance to appeal to the public safet board.He waived that right,according to Hogan. to insist upon the removal of tenants at 4 g pp p y g g g Sheldon Court. PHOTO BY JASON "The neighbors are up in arms and just terrorized by the activity at this rental,"Hogan said. JORDAN But the landlord was apparently unaware of the situation. "He said he had no idea the behavior was going on," Hogan relayed to the board after a phone conversation with Birdsall. "The landlord is being very cooperative." "That property is a very nice house,and it's a very nice neighborhood,but the front window is broken out and the inside is a disaster,"said Bud Burdett, Hornell's director of Facilities Management and Neighborhood Revitalization. However,one of the tenants,David Dolph was present to make his case as to why he should be allowed to stay on the property.Two other men known to occupy the rental property including the lessee Michael Berg,and sometimes house-guest Leonard Smith were not present at the meeting. "He's still in bed.He was supposed to come with me.I don't know why he didn't,"Dolph said of Berg.Smith could not make it due to work obligations. The men moved into the property just over a year ago. "Even if you removed the points that go back over a year,you're still talking about an excess needed for the property to be closed down,"Hogan said. Peylch questioned Dolph on behalf of the board,trying to get to the root cause of all the troubles. "I go to bed about 9-9.30,and Michael stays up with his buddies and you know..."Dolph disclosed. Peylch asserted that drug activity was reportedly happening at the house. "You can't have people over there doing drugs David,"he reminded the tenant sternly. "There ain't no drugs going on,"Dolph insisted. Dolph and his housemates were given until Oct.i to find new places to live.Dolph said his plans were to apply for public housing through the City Housing Authority.He intends to vacate the property by Oct.1. "With a record like this David,they may not take you,"Peylch said. "Well,I have no other options,"Dolph replied. Peylch told Dolph that another incident with the police in the meantime will result in immediate forced eviction and a shut down of the property. "If this board decides,they can put red stickers on that house,and you will have to be out of there immediately.So your sense of'I hope to be out of there by I next month'needs to be a little more urgent,"he said."It can't be'I hope'it has to be Tm going to be."' I 1 "No more partying,and no more policing from now until the time you guys get out,"Peylch instructed. jDolph agreed to tell the other men that they also need to make plans to vacate the property by Oct,1. f "If they're not out by the first of the month we'll have a formal hearing," Hogan said. "You should not be afraid to speak up about an issue in your neighborhood,and that's the type of behavior that was going on there,getting into fistfights,throwing T.V.s through windows,and traffic of bath salts." http://www.eveningtribune.com/article/20150914/NEWS/150919887?template=printart 1/2 I 9/22/2015 City boots tenants at nuisance property-Gate House The Sheldon Court case is not unique, according to Hogan,who wrote letters to all of the landlords renting to subjects rounded up in"Operation Street Sweeper,"asldng them to"be more mindful of who they rent to." "It was meant to say—'Hey,we've got sets of rules in this community and we're going to live by them,"'Hogan said. According to the mayor,no one should feel bad for those who bring trouble to their neighborhoods. "Everyone's worried about the rights of the perpetrators,but what about the rights of the people in the neighborhood that want to live a normal quiet quality of life,"he said. Similar laws have been enacted in Albany,Rochester,Troy,Schenectady and other cities across the state. "When(landlords)see their property can be shut down for up to a year it really gets their attention because they're not going to have any income coming in," said Burdett. Houses deemed to have persistent drug activity can also be subject to seizure at the request of the district attorney's office,officials said. http:ltwww.eveningtribune.com/article/20150914/NEWS/150919887 of tPage_ k i 1 i http://www.eveni ngtri bune.com/arti cle/20150914/NEW S/150919887?tem pl ate=pri ntart 2/2 0 THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES y Banks \�> ---} STATE OF NEW YORK Cities Housing ALBANY Oversight,Analysis&Investigation d, - LXCEI.910R MICHAEL P.KEARNS Assemblyman 142n1 District i September 22, 2015 Darius Pridgen Buffalo Common Council President 1315 City Hall Buffalo,New York 14202 Dear Council President Pridgen and Council members: As you know we are in the midst of a foreclosure epidemic in Erie County and throughout the United States. It is becoming commonplace for banks to file foreclosure proceedings and leave them incomplete along with vacant structures and blight in the communities. This problem must be addressed head on and I am asking, along with our not-for-profit partners, for the opportunity to participate at a Committee Meeting. On August 21, 2015 1 placed the first Bank Shame Campaign sign on 20 Sidway in the Old First Ward. This initiative is designed to expose bad actor banks and encourage them to be good neighbors. Some elected officials in the City of Buffalo have come out in support of the Bank Shame Campaign and actually helped place signs on these vacant and blighted properties and others have expressed an interest to participate in this sign posting campaign throughout the City of Buffalo. As a former council member I know you are on the frontlines of this problem and I look forward to an important discussion with various departments that are responsible and accountable with regard to this issue. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or my office at(716) 608-6099. Sincerely, CHAEL P.

Proposal from July Attachments: Saving the world (of the USA)copy.pdf Thank you for your time today Rev. Pridgen. You said I need to champion this cause,but if the neighbourhood and city sees no value,then my investment is becoming unwise, I would think?Will be out of bflo this week,and will look into interest further,on my return.Spending my summer on it as yet with no bigger partners,would seem as you say.. not what neighbourhood organizations want? It would be worth looking at the proposal for yourself,as no other use of that land would be of as much benefit to so many. But if it is not of Buffalo interest, I will just have to face that,and move on.The windows have not yet been boarded though asked many times, have been open weeks to these rain storms,and now from High Pointe I have seen a hole in the roof. I hear from "planning dept"the soul of the building has long been gone.Just rebuilding inside is not really preservation of its civil war spirit. ..And Rick James apparently was born there. If you have an interest in the other aspects of the proposal i.e. Functional Health or Art TV that is also a possibility.

Re.. 204 High St. and all surrounding lots, Maple to Mulberry, First draft CONCEPT Proposal. To.. City of Buffalo and neighbouring lot owners, From.. Rudolf Frederick's Publishing Group of Companies Inventor/Founder.. Hilary Burke To locate.. -a Medical History Museum in the restored home of the FIRST Black Doctor,while also - utilizing the Founder's invention, as Pilot Production Facility in Buffalo's Fruit Belt Neighbourhood -with the 4+innovative Business SYSTEMS developed here first for National Duplication - including Quiet Impact Screen Promotions (Green Turtle TV), FOR"University"as well as WINTER - Freight Farm Food Production, along with a"Resource Cafe"and Community Learning Centre AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BUFFALO TO BE THE FACE and PILOT FOUNDING LOCATION of.. -a Concept that will be duplicated Nationally to improve Health ..for even those with modest budgets! -a Biz System,the"Gift of Calm"that will build a new USA MADE, GREEN INDUSTRY for global export. - Thousands of well paid new careers,that will also improve health and quality of life in America. Buffalo should quickly seize this ONE TIME opportunity, since the City partnering will receive .. 1) the benefit of the branded"Gift of Calm"customizing jobs ..for American and Global sales 2) Jobs in Food growth all year, able to provide the Medical Campus/city with Fresh local food 3) B N M C/Buffalo, will be known as the FOUNDING better"Health System"for USA duplication 4) Buffalo .. known as Founding city for the (Resource Cafe) solving numerous National problems 5) Since Medicine will change A quick negotiation on agreements for this Proposal (p 2), involves absolutely NO RISK to all lot owners! On top of NO RISK, it offers numerous rewards to the city,its leaders and its people. Buffalo has unknowingly assisted the Founder in preparing a brilliant"Location Duplication System" .. perfect for this long evolved new use for TV as"Frame"for collecting soothing beauty.Thanks to the inspiration received this last week,through again finding the much admired 204 High St,this proposal can now be offered to any struggling city.Any visionary city can be R F P's Pilot partner, but as MEDICAL HISTORY MUSEUM .. perfect for Buffalo's focus on medicine!And it offers a great match, since eating natural food is parallel HEALTH care.This is a perfect opportunity for Buffalo to be the SHOWCASE as Pilot leader,which other cities will probably not be lucky enough to have.The Museum,will create pride in the Black community since it is said the first owner was the first Black Doctor!Healthcare will change completely in the next decades. Buffalo will be at the forefront,adding to your Museum's layers of history. Having spent 7 years unsuccessfully, trying to have Buffalo see the value of Art TV to promote Buffalo for Tourism in S W On.,there is still a faint connection to pilot the duplicatable community Training here. But there is unfortunately an impatience with the speed here vs Philadelphia's acceptance in 2008.Therefore without a partnership interest in place very quickly to save our Museum,the Founder will alone develop the prototype Training here ..for duplication in Philadelphia as Founding Pilot of National Distribution. { i I ` 2of5 Hilary Burke 716-408-6532 eyecandytv@mac.com Mon July 27 2015 .. FIRST ROUGH DRAFT Proposal to City of Buffalo and all Lot Owners adjacent to the Civil War Historic Property, 204 High Street Proposal requires all Land on High St., Maple to Mulberry, deeded to R F P Group of companies. Although R F Publishing (Hilary Burke), is a Start Up Company.requiring a deferred Mortgage,this CONCEPT has better value for the city,than any you will receive. Regardless of the amount of cash, or benefits offered by anyone,this is The City's Best Opportunity ever..for these 17 PLUS reasons .. 1) You receive the FAIR appraised value .. PLUS (10)% INTEREST, possibly within a year or two, or at worst PLUS interest over 5 to 10 years. BUT.. preferably you Deed it"Free and Clear", in return for a History Museum, and Resource Management Complex that restores the First Black Doctor's home! 2) NO RISK WHATSOEVER ..A schedule of Project dates and deadlines must be met by The Rudolf Frederick's Publishing Group of Companies,or the land reverts back to the City. Securing of the Landmark property roof and bricks will already have been done, adding more value to your property. 3) You have the option to obtain Quiet impact Screen Promotions shares, seeing this concept as a valuable investment for the City. (Your assistance in Success will already provide some shares.) 4) O I S P disrupts many traditional Industries. It will be a$2 billion company in just the USA Promotional Products application alone. If City of Buffalo becomes involved as interested partner, assisting speed in execution,those thousands of jobs can be located here. Phila. has been extremely helpful, and is also a first Pilot choice. Being from Toronto and having a history in Buffalo, makes launching easier here.We can still seize the 2015 Holiday gift sales opportunity, if we COLLABORATE quickly. 5) Buffalo will be the Founding City for the"UN" University,which assists PTSD Disabled Vets and Disadvantaged populations in new careers in ART TV production. (beautiful soothing branding, an ALTERNATIVE to advertising) .. as well as Resourco Management and its Entrepreneurial offshoots. 6) Buffalo can be the LAUNCH city for the industry,with a Christmas gift alternative,the"Gift of Calm". Corporate sales create the revenue(to secure 240 High and)train PTSD VETS in a National Patriotic SHARED Project.We create an innovative USA MADE GREEN INDUSTRY together. Like the old shared"(War) Effort" .. everyone feels part of a COLLABORATIVE SOLUTION to good work, income, health and comfort for all. (This concept will later be sent to Obama, presidential Candidates, and Health Insurers truly wanting HEALTH,to obtain their support, as well as Corporation's sponsoring.) 7) The Civil War Historic area will become a Medical Museum, Cafe/Gift shop, as well as the Career Training, Community Learning location. PLUS Freight Farms will provide fresh food ALL WINTER. 8) The UN university"campus"will let struggling neighbours barter their fresh food and needs,while the Cafe provides wonderful ambience and calm,for stressed Hospital employees. (Cafe will have FOOD AS MEDICINE menu, and sell our"gift of calm" .. a gift of stress reduction most can use today!)A Public Garden will be available for those who bring their lunch .. like NYC street's beautiful tables!! 9) Your Civil War house,owned by the first Black Physician! ..will become a National Treasure, as the Medical Healthcare Industry refocuses over the next decades. New discoveries ..disease= Inflammation, ..genes predispose individuals to different diseases. Certain Foods can turn on a gene's disease inflammation, but others can TURN IT OFF!Nutrigenomics and Neuroscience are new research areas with more and more amazing discoveries. In fact, a revolution in health care is of FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE. Sharing this will be FOR"university's" happening,with the science at the forefront of the FUTURE of medicine. mission. B N M C's partnership puts them i; t 1 i I Hilary Burke 716-408-6532 eyecandyty@mac.com 3 of 5 10)Today 1 of 5 suffer Depression, and probably 2 more,refuse to admit it because of the STIGMA! Depression etc.etc all the lesser mental illness names,.can be cured by removing sugar/wheat. We need those creative minds to solve the problems we face now!The USA's"boat"is sinking .. and we STILL are not bailing together! 11)The Founder lost years of life on Disability!This will not happened to others, because nothing can now stop the Founder's Biz years invested ..with a CLEARER brain in charge. Decades going nowhere, like on a hamster wheel .. and now by next Christmas, PTSD Vets will have careers in their own local affiliate of the Quiet Impact(Art)TV network.The founder can be the"poster child"proof,for removing the stigma of mental illness."Mental Illness"is nothing but brain wiring gone wrong and misfiring, mostly because of what we build our body with.The BRAIN is no different than any OTHER body part mis-functioning,that has NO stigma.With our egocentric belief we have progressed so far, and are such brilliant people, how have we not seen and understood this so long?The stigma remaining still today is mind bogglingly stupid. Buffalo can be at the forefront of the new"Food as Drug"accessory to our wellness .. choosing to be a Shareholder as we duplicate nationally. But without 204 High safe for the winter,there is no longer a passion to stay here as Founding Pilot. 12)We can duplicate our success in more and more of your empty Land parcels,feeding the Fruit Belt and Buffalo"Better than Organic",fresh all winter food. (see Freight Farms.com) 13)We can provide fresh food (medicine)ALL WINTER,to High Pointe patients.A test pilot will show the positive affects on their health.As we duplicate, Roswell and Kaleida can feed patients fresher, unprocessed food.The Buffalo Medical Campus will have the Health System showing the greatest success.`It would probably be more profitable,yet giving B N M C World Class status! Medical Tourism will become a year round draw, bringing now visitor outside$, also for your History Museum. 14)Affordable fresh food creates a healthier Fruit Belt population. But the Community Education at the Museum is key.We duplicate this SYSTEM in other cities,with Buffalo as Historic Founding City. 15)Soon the CITY population will be the healthiest of all cities.This makes Buffalo the SHOWCASE of New Health along with your Medical History Museum!Visitors will come to learn to duplicate your Healthy City Initiative. Duplication of R F P Business System, means more PROFIT,while doing good. 16)Some lot space will hold prototype"TINY Houses".With the changed needs of the future"job"culture in mind, Mc mansions will have no buyers. Young people today must live in parent's basements, since their income/work is so scarce, and would love the FOR creative living community. 17)ALL THE CREDIT AND PUBLICITY for all the good this concept will do,goes to our Founding Partners who quickly assist in SUCCESS.The founder retains all credit/ownership of the"Success System"but has no interest in being the FACE for credit and publicity. Hilary Burke 716-408-6532 eyec n ytv mac,com 4 of 5 To Obtain this limited time Opportunity to PROTOTYPE and PILOT this innovative SYSTEM .. What the Founder needs in return .. for providing this perfect one time exclusive OPPORTUNITY to Buffalo .. 1) A City Partner that works quickly, helping solve numerous problems/obstacles that can arise. 2) Willingness to think"out of the box",trying innovative solutions to improve quality of life quickly,for all. 3) Collaboration with agencies doing good work,yet forward movement not stifled with disagreement. 4) Assistance to"secure"the Historic property, safe for this winter, i.e.who?what?permits?quick action. 5) Deed to all land from Maple to Mulberry,with help in obtaining adjacent parcels from others.Also help in obtaining new parcels for more"Freight Farms"and Founder designed"TINY Houses", (see HGTV) 6) Fair appraisals and costs, so the Pilot can become reality quickly. Later more profit will be available from TV licensing fees, and shareholder agreements can be negotiated with partners giving the most assistance.There will be more sales,once the PTSD Vet Training builds the Art photo story inventory. 7) AND ..the Founder will be investing 17 hour days, 7 days per week building the Career, Life, Resource Management"un-University" Pilot. Because Buffalo is first to obtain these benefits and also gains ALL THE FOUNDING CREDIT as National Launch Pilot, a minimum fee of$12,500 per month for two years, as?"new jobs, community and health solutions, Career Training"consultant. Payment of this fee indicates seriousness of involvement. It ensures the Founding Partner City's desire to work hard to collaboratively, successfully produce the results of page one.This will in no way repay the Founder's investment and debt incurred trying to show Buffalo(2000 to 2008) how the Art TV could increase Tourism from Canadians.At the time Canadian exchange was SIXTY%.That debt remains. 8) As a Canadian,the Founder, requires un-restricted access to the US,which city partners can secure. 9) An upfront(fee)to bring this opportunity to Buffalo will very probably be added to our contract,since? $44 million was awarded to train for solar jobs etc?? (Fortunately seen last night in the Challenger.) 10)plus NYS tax abatement as all others are obtaining, but probably a shorter duration than allowed. How Funds are obtained to restore 204 High St+lots adjoining, into more than its former beauty: with Public Gardens, Museum of Medical History, New Careers-Training Centre (the UN- university), Fresh Produce grown for the community all winter long,while they learn new Healthy Life habits and Resource Management ..(to survive our changed future society), plus .. (B and B)with Cafe Gift Shop, 1) Part of ..or similar to,the Workforce Development 44 million$, secured for the Northland property. In contrast .. R F P's thousands of Q I S P jobs are only a BASE for Disabled Vet income.Training in Entrepreneurship (Resource Management) produces many OFFSHOOT careers and NEW business vantaged populations!The tiny amount of funding required, spinoffs, preferably for Disad comparatively creates FAST sure success for Buffalo. (Applied to 43 N, really for assistance only, but having found 204 HIGH,that money could be used to"secure"it, as Training Location/Museum!) 2) Revenue also comes from the innovative Business System for Quiet Impact Screen Promotions. (more details once interest shown)The"Gift of Calm"invention revolutionizes 6 or 8 major industries. The Private label Art TV, monthly license fees can support ongoing Career Training, and some of the complete Restoration .. IF the Community and City of Buffalo work quickly and collaboratively toward Winter 2015 protection. Having spent 8 years going nowhere in Buffalo, but 4 months to success in Phila, it is unfortunately only TO.convenience AND finding the first Black Doctor's house putting you j first with this Job creation offer. I am very excited re. a Medical History Museum WITH my Training. 3) First Clients can be Founding Partners in the"Gift of Calm"Quiet Impact TV Network ..the"Gift of Calm" is perfect for stress reduction in Kaleida and Rozwell Waiting areas! (This Stress reducing calming TV channel can be licensed to create new branding REVENUE,in City Building Waiting areas and Wait lines!) 4) Funds secured from Grants,Tax Breaks, etc., secured by Community Partners and the City. Partners are more aware of opportunities and can quickly apply. R F P will focus on developing this new USA Made Green industry in its Founding city,which can be Buffalo, if the House is"secure"for the winter. I Hilary Burke 716-408-6532 eyecandov@mac.com 5 of 5 Conclusion .. FOR ..the UN university prepares Responsible Resourceful citizens With R F's Business System, Buffalo is at the forefront of solving the many problems the United States is now facing. (Alzheimers, Student debt, poor health and obesity, lack of jobs due to globalization and digital disruption, environmental and energy difficulties, toxins and loss of resources, drought, loss of bees. etc etc.)The"boat"is sinking! Unique NEW WAYS, instead of the"same old"patterns, are urgent.. along with a new spirit of decisive collaboration. Buffalo's Nationally duplicated FOR"un-community",will reduce the National deficit with more healthy citizens, and more jobs,creating people who pay taxes.The FOR"un- University"creates individuals who are RESPONSIBLE for themselves and RESOURCEFUL. Individuals today simply"look for a job"they have come to feel owed.Yet in 20 or 30 years,there will be few jobs as we know them! Because the iPhone, drones, robots and soon driverless cars"eat"MORE jobs, than they will EVER create, (see July Atlantic Monthly)we need to find new ways for people to care for their own welfare. Resource Management is the old Home Economics Education,the Founder's expertise..We help people RE learn how to fend for themselves, in the less affluent society we face in the future.You may disagree with this dire"no jobs"impending doom. Nevertheless,teaching citizens nationally to again be more personally resourceful, (like the old War Effort) is a positive asset. Not feeling they are OWED a job, people instead think in an entrepreneurial manner, instead of feeling dependent on others.This leaves less responsibility on the shoulder's of Cities and Businesses. Plus .. it offers the opportunity of more innovation,with all those new minds now thinking with self responsible creativity!There will be MORE investment opportunities available, in more problem solving great ideas. People who are trained to be self sufficient,think how they can create income to exist(in a positive way). Sometimes others can duplicate their success. FOR University helps individuals gain confidence,find their talents and how they best can have others pay for their skills. Entrepreneurism has become a buzz word, solving few ROOT problems! Being"Income Focused", or the"Art of making personal income"is taught almost nowhere in all those MANY years of formal education!!A Travesty! Buffalo can be the Founding City for newly self sufficient American citizens, begun with your East Side population.This Self Responsibility and Resourcefulness Training is very necessary nationally as we head toward a different future. Do we realize that in 10 or 20 years all that we(boomers?) have experienced ..will be gone? ..changed to an unrecognizable new Digital World?We must begin NOW to prepare our people for a world that will differ greatly. If speedy and helpful progress is shown by Buffalo for this innovative concept,you will be the location for the USA MADE GREEN replacement for the Asian shipped Promotional Products industry.These jobs will be given only to actual Buffalo citizens, inhabitants born,here remaining here, as opposed to those coming to school from outside, only increasing the joblessness of born Buffalonians. If you decide to take Quiet Impact Screen Promotions shares instead of purely money for land,you will find you invested in the future.With the young people today maturing,there will also be a sea change in the Health"care"industry and Buffalo will be at the forefront.The young are not into drugs as Boomers are. Being First Mover with our SYSTEM, having so many offshoot added value opportunities,we will not fail.There can be no competition because we already will be experienced collaborators.We build the best,,most productive, BUT ethical .. Inner City Community Health economy for duplication. Philadelphia l has 40,000 empty lots! Duplicating our system in other cities leaves us with more profit,while doing good for citizen's health,for the country and our environment!(also through reduced Fresh Food transport!) i And .. best of all,for those who become Major Quiet Impact TV,or FOR (UN- University) partners . . YOU GET ALL THE PUBLICITY for the development of this brilliant concept and SYSTEM.The Founder retains total credit for the invention ..the entire concept, and Business System.Although developed over decades, the Founder has NO interest whatever in Publicity.Therefore as the FACE of the project, j Partners get all City and National Credit!You get the Publicity this PROFIT, PEOPLE, +PLANET SYSTEM provides.You are doing great good for your area and the Nation, ....while profiting as a Shareholder. A NO RISK, and WIN WIN Proposal for successful National INNOVATION ..founded in Buffalo.

I DO appreciate that so many of you are just trying to put out fires..while I blah blah about"saving the world".

Relocation. The Buffalo NFL's acquisition will likely.occur through a process called eminent domain, which allows the Buffalo NFL to a property for a-public use even if the owner does not wish to convey title. Our firm recently learned of the potential acquisition of your property in the enclosed public notice. If the City ultimately takes title to the property, then it will be required to pay "just compensation" to the-former owners and will snake an offer based upon the City's highest approved appraisal. If you are not satisfied With.the offer, the City will pay you the amount of the offer and you still have the right to claim for additional compensation over and above what has already been paid. r i c Our law firm limits it practice to eminent domain law and we have practiced exclusively in this area of the law for over fifty years. Our sole concern is to ensure that our clients receive fair treatment and just compensation in'eminent domain proceedings. Although prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, we routinely obtain favorable results for our clients substantially above the condemning authority's initial offer. Further information about our firm can be found on our website at.www. r�rhpc.com. We are available to answer any questions that you might have in light of the possible condemnation of your property and we do not charge for consultations. e . _..... . _ ., ._.. ...._ .... r3'truly Yours,...

Pridgen Ellicott District Council Member Council President i _I f. a ai f'v RESOLUTION In the Common Council of the City of Buffalo, On September 29, 2015 Council President Darius G. Pridgen submitted the following resolution: Compassionate Care Act Whereas, in July of 2014, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed the Compassionate Care Act, making New York State the 23rd state to legalize medical marijuana. This law includes provisions to ensure medical marijuana is reserved for patients with serious conditions to include: cancer, HIV/AIDS, ALS, Parkinson's Disease, multiple sclerosis, damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord, inflammatory bowel disease, neuropathies, Huntington's Disease, epilepsy, or as added by the Commissioner of the Department of Health; Whereas, under one of the safest, most tightly regulated medical marijuana programs in the country, this new law will bring relief to patients living with extraordinary pain and illness; Whereas, with more than fifty six thousand square miles in New York State, we have only twenty dispensaries available. This means that many patients, and/or their caregivers may have to travel several hours to access the supply. City of Buffalo residents that rely on public transportation will find accessibility to dispensaries quite challenging. This will place a burden on people dealing with severe, debilitating or life-threatening health issues: Now, Therefore Be It Resolved that the City of Buffalo Common Council- 1) Urge NYS lawmakers to open additional medical marijuana dispensaries to provide closer proximity and accessibility to residents of the City of Buffalo with severe health challenges; and 2) Implore the Governor and the Department of Health to expedite the implementation of the Compassionate Care_Act;_and 3) Copies of this resolution are to be sent to Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York State Senators, and Members of the NYS Assembly, and the Commissioner of the Department of Health.

L i RESOLUTION In the Common Council of The City of Buffalo, On September 23, 2015 Council President Pridgen submitted the following resolution: Sex Offender Reporting Inquiry Whereas, sexual violence has severe long-lasting psychological, physical and economic effects on our community with far more children being sexually assaulted than adults; Whereas, these heinous crimes concern every citizen in Buffalo because assaults can cross all geographic and demographic divisions; Whereas, NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is responsible for maintaining a sex offender registry, state law does not require public agencies to proactively issue notices to parents about where sex offenders live; Whereas, the current DCJS database only serves those who have access to the internet, or to those who know to call the office in Albany for public information, leaving many parents uninformed of the location of convicted criminals living in their neighborhoods or along their children's route to school; and Whereas, because more than 75% of child molesters are known to their victims, registry notification alone is not sufficient to keep children safe, but is a necessary step in the right direction: Now, Therefore Be It Resolved that The City of Buffalo Common Council- 1) Requests representatives of BPD to submit a report to the Council that explains the current registry and notification process, noting in particular any changes in recent years; and 2) Calls on BPD and the Buffalo School Board to consider multiple alternatives to notifying the public of locations of'sex offenders registered in the DCJS database. co Darius G.Pridgen '*ck Council President ,) I Ellicott District Council Member V" ADOPT THE RESOLVES REFER THE REMAINDER TO THE COMMITTEE DG2NwLEGISLATION Pagel of 2 01309 Resolution By: Council Member Rivera, Council President Pridgen, Council Member Franczyk Counci7.member Wyatt September 29, 2015 Re: Call on Public Service Commission to Adequately Address Energy Needs of Low-Income Residents Whereas,the Public Service Commission (PSC) is holding a public hearing to examine programs to address energy affordability for low income utility customers; and Whereas,the public hearing will be held Thursday, October 1 at Buffalo-Erie County Central Library at two different times,from 2pm-4pm and from 6-8pm; and Whereas, each public hearing will start with informational session that will give attendees a briefing on what programs currently exist and the state of current issues,from which the public will be able to comment on;and Whereas,this body and the residents it serves are very familiar with the energy/utility needs of the community and would like to see programs that better serves our residents most in need and have the participation of residents in the development of those programs; and Whereas, over 270,000 residents of New York had a utility service terminated in 2014,which equates to a bill over$750 million that utility customers owed; and Whereas,while programs like HEAP and other assistance programs help residents avoid service termination,there is still a clear need for assistance and new programing to ensure all New Yorkers have the necessary living requirements of heat,water, and electricity. Now therefore be it resolved,the Common Council calls on the PSC to improve upon its current proposal and create a statewide utility assistance program that: (a.) automatically enrolls all low income utility customers;. (b.)guarantees a utility bill discount of at least 40%and/or creates an energy burden cap equivalent to 6%of household income; (c.) addresses the root causes of the energy affordability crisis through investments in weatherization, low cost shared renewable energy, and basic home repair; and (d.) increases overall funding for utility assistance from $179 million proposed by staff to at least $600 million, which represents a per capita funding level supported by low income utility assistance programs in other states. Be it further resolved,the Common Council requests the City Clerk send a copy of this resolution to Kathleen Burgess, Secretary of the Public Service Commission. David A. Rivera Darius G.
