Home My WebLink About15-1110 [2] OMB 0581-0287 and 1.5 miles from Census Tracts 163 and 164. Yet, it is a unique underutilized regional asset. Only during Easter season is the market full to capacity. Visiting Broadway Market during the Easter season is a long tradition in the City of Buffalo, especially for stocking up on homemade baked goods, homemade horseradish, ham, sausages, and bacon. The market sustained operating difficulties for over two decade due to changing demographics, community disinvestment, and an outdated facility. The market gradually lost its market share and faces the dilemma of how to attract new customers and win back those shoppers who stopped coming or who only visit during the Easter season when it conducts the bulk of its annual sales. a Few alternatives exist in East Buffalo to healthy food shopping besides Broadway Market. Surveys of over 100 food establishments were conducted in Near East Side Buffalo and the Broadway- Fillmore neighborhood. The findings from the Broadway-Fillmore study found 22% of the stores had some fresh meat available, another 32%had deli meats available, and 33%had not meat available. Twenty-eight percent of the stores had fresh vegetables in the stores; and none of the stores had a section set aside for healthy/organic foods. A substantial number did not carry even the less-expensive wheat bread. What was more prevalent in the corner stores: 94% carried candy and chips; 83%had cigarettes available for purchase; and 83%had beer available. A major asset of East Buffalo is its ethnic diversity. Overall, the neighborhood immediately surrounding the Broadway Market is 61.2%African American, 23.3% White, around 8%Asian, 1 4.5%Hispanic, and 2% Other in 2010 (US Census of Population and Housing, 2010). East Buffalo maintains a historic role as an entry point for immigrants. An emerging residential cluster located near the market today evolves around a Buddhist temple and a mosque. As a consequence, our target neighborhood's immigrant population grew from around 30 to 351 between 1990 and 2000 and more than doubled again with 822 residents in 2010 identifying themselves as Asian. The largest proportion of these residents live in the Census Tract 27.02 directly across the market(613, approximate 1/4 of all the residents in that tract). Today,this neighborhood serves as one of the primary homes for the resettlement of Muslim refugees and Bangledeshi immigrants living in the City of Buffalo. A survey of 300 Broadway Market customers conducted in 2007 assessed the strengths and weaknesses of Broadway Market from the perception of seasonal customers and neighborhood shoppers. For both of these groups,the perceptions of the best attributes of the market were: • Fresh meat products, 52 percent; • Baked goods, 45 percent; • Market atmosphere, 44 percent; • Fresh produce 33 percent; and • Friendly vendors, 29 percent. j Two factors noted that would attract them to shop more year round: • More local goods, 39 percent; • Greater ethnic variety, 30 percent. To augment local goods and greater ethnic food variety, the City of Buffalo approved funding for a Broadway Market Kitchen Incubator in 2014. A goal of the kitchen incubator is to strategically reposition the market as a healthy affordable food hub and local entrepreneurship in East Buffalo. Possible community resources to explore utilizing to move forward this goal include: Page 3 of 15 i OMB 0581-0287 Growing demand for kitchen incubator's in Western New York. Buffalo like the rest of US is ! witnessing a growing demand for local, fresh, organic and artisan food products. Providing Incubating space for new businesses to meet this demand is a challenge. In New York State, commercial food products have to be prepared in a New York State licensed commercial kitchen. Currently, start-up food businesses (including food trucks) rely on renting spaces from such i licensed kitchen spaces as church kitchens, community-center kitchens, restaurants in off-hours, etc. Often these facilities are outdated, lack flexibility, or inadequate kitchen equipment. Already j Broadway Market management has been approached by vendors requesting additional kitchen space, especially during the Easter Season. Vendors have had to go elsewhere. Journey's End Refugee Services Green Shoots for New Americans Program. The Green Shoots Program consists of providing a range of farming instruction and training for participating refugees. The Broadway Market kitchen incubator would offer the program an opportunity for participants to develop value-added products from their home-grown produce and incubate new vendors. a Matt Urban Center's Project Hope Center's Urban Diner. Hope Center's Urban Diner Project assists homeless and low-income family to get back on their feet. Their Urban Diner provides free dinners five nights a week to community members in a family-friendly restaurant setting. The programs additionally provides training to diners to become employed in the food industry. Matt Urban also operates a 20-unit complex for refugees, which engages refugees in urban farming on its adjacent lot. Love to Response Center. Founded in 1985, the Response to Love Center on Kosciuszko Street in Buffalo has continued to grow and become an important community resource for neighborhood residents. On site assistance currently consists of a food pantry, infant formula program,thrift shop, and services such as GED, English as Second Language for new immigrants, computer training and the WNY AMVETS Career Training Center which are located on the second floor. i Wilson Street Farm (for profit, urban food producer). Wilson Street Urban Farm, established in 2009, is part of the Farmers Pirate Cooperative. The farm represents a pilot urban farm in the Broadway Fillmore neighborhood. The farm consists of 25 vacant lots located on one city farm. It sells affordable, fresh produce. Fillmore Corridor Neighborhood Coalition (FCNC). This coalition was initiated in 2012. It currently works to support neighborhood beautification, business development, housing, and refugee resettlement. In 2013,the EPA selected the FCNC for technical assistance through their Building Sustainable Communities. One of the suggested recommendations was to strengthen retail opportunities. Friends of Broadway Market District(Friends). The Friends offer community support for the Broadway Market in order to help promote and sustain one of the few neighborhood sources of healthy, affordable food. The Friends maintains close relations with several Broadway Fillmore neighborhoods, and works in partnership with the South Broadway Village Neighborhood Coalition's and Broadway Market Roof Garden on neighborhood beautification projects. The Friends of the Broadway Market. currently provides community outreach,promotion, events coordination support for the Market. It organized over ten healthy food demonstrations at the Market.

Obiective i The objective of the report is to document and evaluate the internal controls of the Animal Shelter over revenue. To achieve the objective, the following procedures were performed: a • Interviewing staff regarding the revenue process and the documentation of the revenue cycle. • Testing of transactions to determine if the revenue process performs as documented. • Evaluation of the process to determine the strengths and weakness of the internal controls of the revenue cycle. Description of the Animal Shelter Revenue Cycle Daily Revenue Transactions Office/Clerical personnel at the Shelter enter receipts into the cash register. The cash register tape records the type of revenue (surrender fee, adoption fee, etc.). At the end of each day the register is closed out and a daily summary tape is run. The daily summary tape shows a breakdown of total receipts between cash and checks and by type of revenue. All funds (cash and checks) are placed into a bank bag with the daily summary tape and stored in a locked safe. Five employees have access to the combination safe. The Account Clerk Typist enters the individual sales into MUNIS (the City of Buffalo's financial accounting software)to create a batch deposit report. Receipts are not entered into MUNIS on a daily basis. The batch deposit report and corresponding cash and checks are placed in a bank bag and are brought to the Department of Treasury approximately twice per month. The Account Clerk Typist restrictively endorses all checks stored in the safe at the time of batch deposit preparation. The Treasury teller verifies the total funds brought for deposit agree to the batch deposit report total and then accepts and posts the deposit. i 1 I i Donations Cash donations are not recorded in the cash register or MUNIS. Cash donations are logged into an excel spreadsheet and stored in the safe. Receipts for cash donations are only provided upon request, copies of receipts are not retained by the Shelter. The cash donations are held in a petty cash type fund and used by the Shelter to make purchases. Any purchases made are logged into the spreadsheet and the receipt is retained. Check donations are not recorded in the cash register but are entered in MUNIS. Receipts are sent to anyone who mails in a check donation but copies of these receipts are not retained by the -- Shelter. Inventory Control j The Shelter utilizes Petpoint, a free web-based data management system that tracks animal a intake, animal health care data, adoption etc. Each animal is assigned a number within Petpoint + upon arrival at the Shelter. This number is not linked to the cash register or MUNIS records. Audit Findings - Cash Donations -Internal Controls a 1. Cash Donations are not recorded in Cash Register or MUNIS and are not deposited with the Treasury-The donated cash is held at the Shelter and used as a petty cash type fund to make purchases. Cash donations and purchases made with the cash are logged into an excel spreadsheet. It is unknown if all donations are recorded. Cash donations are not deposited with the Treasury as required by City Charter Chapter 16 Section 15 -Failure to report receipt of or pay over money or property. It states: "Whenever it shall appear that the head or an employee of a City agency ... has neglected or failed to report the receipt of or to pay over money ... it shall be the duty of the Comptroller to notify the head or the employee of the City agency or other person forthwith of such default and, in case the notice is disregarded,to notify the Council of that fact without delay." i 2. Change for the Register-Per review of the donated cash spreadsheet we noted reductions labeled"change for drawer". Shelter personnel take donated cash to the credit union to get -= coin change for the cash register. Replenishing the donated cash after getting change is not accounted for or tracked by the Shelter. Amounts are placed back in the donation cash at a later time and recorded as"donation"within the donated cash spreadsheet. Therefore donations recorded are not accurate and there is no way to determine if amounts recorded as "change for drawer"are returned to the donated cash fund. 3. No Receipts for Donations -Receipts for donations are not provided to donors unless requested. There is no supporting documentation related to the donations received. 2 i i i' 4. Donated Gift Cards not Recorded -Donated gift cards totaling$135 were noted within the donated funds folder. However,these gift cards were not recorded on the donation cash spreadsheet. i Audit Findings- Cash Donations -Transactions 1. Purchases made with Donated Cash -During our review of the cash donation ledger for fiscal years 2012-2015 the following was noted: Total donations received were $5,193.61 and total expenditures were $4,885.15. Summary of Expenditures per Cash Donation Ledger Expenditures Expenditures without Desription Total with Receipts Receipts Supplies $ 2,020.19 $ 1,316.81 $ 703.38 Employee Meals 972.50 421.06 551.44 Unknown 941.12 - 941.12 Refunds 667.07 44.07 623.00 Sales Tax 143.82 143.82 - __ Personal Items 140.45 140.45 - Total $ 4,885.15 $ 2,066.21 $ 2,818.94 Number of Items 126 74 52 Receipts not recorded in Cash Donation Ledger Value of Receipts $ 1,927.87 Number of Receipts 86 i 2. Unsubstantiated Expenditures- $4,885.15 was expended by the Shelter per their cash 3 i donation ledger. $2,066.21 was supported by receipts; $2,818.94 was not supported by receipts. The accuracy and validity of the unsubstantiated expenditures cannot be confirmed. The Shelter provided the Department of Audit and Control 160 receipts totaling $3,994.08. j As noted above, 74 receipts totaling$2,066.2 1 were traced directly to the cash donation ledger. Receipts totaling $1,927.87 were not recorded in the cash donation ledger and did not 3 i ,I match any dollar amounts or descriptions recorded on the cash donation ledger. It is unknown how these receipts were paid. i 3. Sales Tax Paid - Sales tax of$143.82 was improperly paid on purchases where receipts were provided. It could not be determined how much additional sales tax was paid on unsubstantiated transactions. All purchases of the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter are tax exempt. j4. Inappropriate Use of Public Funds -Receipts of$140.45 appear to be for personal items, including, lighters, reading glasses,pharmaceutical products and a parking ticket. Additionally$972.50 was used for employee meals. These expenditures appear to be a misuse of public funds. 1 Audit Findings—Daily Revenue Process—Internal Controls I 1. Completeness of Revenue-The most significant deficiency with the Shelter revenue process is the inability for an audit to verify the completeness of revenue, due to a lack of supporting documentation maintained by the Shelter. As the system currently operates,there is no way to verify if all revenue received at the Shelter is recorded. 2. Segregation of Duties -The employee who enters transactions on MUNIS also works on the cash register. An employee who works on the cash register also takes the deposit to the Treasury. 3. Management Review-There is no reconciliation performed between the cash register and MUNIS deposit records. There is no supervisory review of batch deposits or cash register transactions including voids, discounts and no sale transactions. 4. Timeliness of Recording Transactions-Funds are stored at the Shelter in the safe for 1 weeks at a time prior to deposit with Treasury. There is no standard frequency of recording receipts or making deposits. Deposits are made twice per month on average. Checks are not immediately restrictively endorsed and instead done at the time a deposit is being prepared. Not all donation checks are recorded in the cash register,thus MUNIS and the cash register do not agree. i 1 5. Security Cameras- Security cameras are in various locations throughout the interior and exterior of the Shelter. However,no cameras are on the cash register or safe. 4 I i i 6. Animal Inventory Control System doesn't reconcile to MUNIS -Petpoint animal control numbers are not linked to the cash register or MUNIS input. The Petpoint system as currently utilized is not useful to the revenue aspect of Shelter operations. 1 On 5/14/15, Department of Audit and Control staff counted the animals at the Shelter and compared to the Petpoint inventory report as of that date. Based on testing performed,the count noted that 5 dogs and 2 cats were included on the inventory report but were not present at the Shelter. There were also 3 dogs observed at the Shelter which were not included on the inventory report. Audit Findings -Daily Revenue Process -Transactions 1. Cash and Check Totals within Batch Deposits- 7 of 8 batch deposits tested contained differences between the cash and check totals listed on the register tape compared to cash and check totals that were entered into MUNIS. The deposits agreed in total. i 2. No Sales -There were a significant number of times the"no sale"key was used(cash register opened with no sales transaction). 196 sales transactions were reviewed,the register was opened with"no sale" 73 times, 37%of all transactions. It was represented that the only time the register should be opened with"no sale" is first thing in the morning when $50 cash is taken from the safe and added to the register for change. There were multiple instances noted where no sales occurred one after the other with no transaction in between, and no sales in the middle of the day. Animal Shelter personnel noted the register is opened to provide change for employees and certain other times due to errors. There is no management approval required to open the drawer. No sale transactions potentially put assets at risk for theft. 3. No Support for Waived and Reduced Fees -The Shelter on occasion offers reduced or waived fees for adoptions,return to owner fees and senior discounts. No supporting documentation is created or retained by the Shelter when fees are waived or reduced. The validity of the discounts are unknown. 4. No Supporting Documentation for Donations by Check- There is no supporting documentation retained by the Shelter for donations received by check. The checks are not entered into the cash register. There is no way to test the completeness and accuracy of { donations received by check. 5. Voided Transactions- 6 of 8 batch deposits tested contained voided transactions or customer refunds. There is no supporting documentation retained related to the voids or 5 refunds to customers. There is no way to test if the voids and refunds are valid reductions to revenue. Recommendations to Recommendations to Improve Internal Controls over Revenue at the Animal Shelter Internal Controls over Revenue at the Animal Shelter 1. Use of Pre-Numbered Receipts - For all transactions (revenue generating and non-revenue generating),two copies of a pre-numbered receipt should be printed. One copy should be given to the customer. The second copy should be signed by the customer, verifying that the - payment on the receipt is the amount paid by the customer. The signed copy should be scanned and saved with other documentation provided by customer. This would decrease the ability to have unrecorded transactions. Receipts for Donations-All donations received(cash, check and gift card) should be recorded on a pre-numbered receipt. One copy should be provided to the donor and one retained by the Shelter. A sign should be posted at the Shelter that a receipt must be provided for all transactions. Per IRS Publication 1771,A donor cannot claim a tax d deduction for any contribution of cash, a check or other monetary gift unless the donor maintains a record of the contribution in the form of either a bank record(such as a cancelled check) or a written communication from the charity(such as a receipt or letter) showing the name of the charity,the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution. Gift Card Donations-There should be a process developed for recording donated gift cards. It should include giving donors a pre-numbered receipt. 2. Standard Treatment,Supporting Documentation and Recording for All Receipts (including Cash Donations) -All receipts should be treated in the same manner. All cash and checks received should be recorded at the time of receipt in the cash register,MUNIS and Petpoint. Checks should be immediately restrictively endorsed. A copy of each day's receipts, appropriate supporting documentation and Petpoint report should be retained by the Shelter. This will help align the systems and keep Petpoint up to date on a daily basis. 3. Management Review-Management should review the cash register daily summary tape for excessive"no sales" or"voids" occurring during the shift, additionally management should count the daily receipts at the close of each day and reconcile amounts to the daily summary tape. Management approval should be necessary for any waived/reduced fees,voided transactions or returns. Only management should place and remove cash from the register. 4. Segregation of Duties-An individual not responsible for preparing the batch deposit or entering receipts into the register should review the daily batch deposit for accuracy and 6 I /n' 1 i completeness. An individual not responsible for preparing the batch deposit or entering j receipts into the register should physically bring the deposits to Treasury. 1 5. Timeliness of Recording Transactions -Deposits should be made daily. Each day the Shelter is open should represent one deposit. If the Shelter staff is unable to have a runner bring the deposit to Treasury each day,then the Shelter should prepare a deposit for each day of the week and bring multiple deposits to Treasury at the end of the week. 6. Treasury Count of Batch -Treasury should verify that the amount of cash and checks delivered match to the cash and check totals on the MUNIS Batch report. 7. Security Cameras -As there are numerous security cameras already in place, one should be pointed at the cash register and one pointed on the safe. This could help in the event there is ever a discrepancy related to revenue. 8. Non-allowable Purchases -The Shelter should make all purchases using the City of Buffalo standard requisition process. a 9. Expenditure Receipts-All expenditures should have a receipt. Supervisor approval should be noted on receipt. 10. Sales Tax—The Shelter should not reimburse employees for sales tax paid on purchases. Per NYS Department of Taxation and Finance Publication 843,New York Governmental Entities (including the City of Buffalo) are exempt from payment of sales tax on their purchases. 11. Refunds to Customers-The Shelter should not refund license fees to customers. a i 7 i m . CITY OF BUFFALO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS, PARKS & STREETS �A41 , o j BYRON W. BROWN STEVEN J. STEPNIAK MAYOR COMMISSIONER October 13, 2015 MICHAEL J.FINN,P.E. CITY ENGINEER City of Buffalo Department of Audit and Control _ 1225 City Hall Buffalo,.NY 14202 Attention: Kevin J.Kaufman, CPA, City Auditor a Re: Audit Report-Internal Controls over Revenues at the Animal Shelter Dear Mr. Kaufman: Thank you for sharing your office's recent audit of the internal controls over revenues at the Buffalo City Animal Shelter. Our response to the specific determinations stated in the Audit is set forth below,but as an initial matter, we acknowledge that improvement in the internal controls over revenues at the Buffalo City Animal Shelter was warranted and can report that corrections and improvements have been made since the date of the Audit. The need for clearly established policy and procedure to ensure safeguards are in place_and the retraining of personnel were key factors contributing to.the nonappearance of internal controls and corresponding findings stated in the Audit. This Department seeks to sustain our operations at the highest standard and continually endeavor to improve our operations wherever possible. Since the date of the Audit,the Department has taken swift action to rectify any discrepancies and have either created or reconvened many 3 corrective policies and procedures to solidify internal controls over revenue transactions at the Shelter. Those corrections and improvements have been implemented and successfully tested by the Department of Audit and Control to date and the Shelter is now making significant progress through the >mplementation of recommendations provided by this Audit. The Department is in the process of identifying measures to promote efficiencies within the Shelter j operations, including evaluating a Point of Service (POS)register system that will streamline corrective action taken and promote the accuracy and validity of all transactions in the future,. Through discussions with staff and the Administrator of Public Works, exploration has already begun to further identify benefits and barriers associated with such a system and its integration with other systems used at the shelter. The Department will continue to investigate how to implement such a system. With the implementation of POS system,the department expects to streamline many preventative internal controls and standardize the receipt and recording of all transactions. 65 NIAGARA SQUARE/502 CITY HALL/BUFFALO,NY 14202-3373/(716)851-5636/FAX:(716)851-4201/Email:sstepniak@city-buffalo.com 1 1 The Department is also working to eliminate the acceptance of monetary donations at the Shelter and deferring donations to the"Friends of the Animal Shelter" (Friends). This organization is a 501c-3 non-profit group purposed to promote the health and welfare of animals in the care of City of Buffalo Animal Shelter. Their priorities include funding,providing, and promoting: spay/neuter services surgeries; critical and preventative veterinary care;volunteerism at the animal shelter and off- site locations;adoption; foster care; and community education services. An envelope system is being explored as a mechanism to accomplishing this goal to ensure donations are going directly to the Friends,which would eliminate the need for employees to process them and avoid any further appearance of inappropriate use of funds. Through the cooperation of staff during interviews and documentation provided by staff to conduct this Audit of the Shelter,the Department is in agreement with the findings below unless otherwise specifically noted. In response to your specific findings and recommendations, we respond as follows: Audit Findings—Cash Donations—Internal Controls 1. Cash Donations are not recorded in Cash Resister or MUNIS and are not deposited with the Treasury The Department is in agreement with Audit's finding. Through meetings and.discussions { with your office,we have vetted and implemented new policy and procedure on receiving cash donations. Donations made with cash or check are now entered into the register and documented with a receipt that is given to the customer. A copy of said receipt and the transaction receipt from the register are now being kept on file in a network drive folder on the City's server. All donations are included in the daily batch and will be deposited with Treasury twice a week. 2. Chance for the Repaister The Department is in agreement with Audit's finding. Through meetings and discussions with your office,we have now created a bank for the register at the Shelter. This bank will be the source of change for the register and will be replenished from Treasury as needed. The implementation of the above mentioned will address the issue of accuracy in the accounting of donations. Further,the register is to be counted.down at the close of business and any overages will be batched to be deposited into treasury. 3. No Receipts for Donations i The Department is in agreement with Audit's finding. Through meetings and discussions with your office, we have vetted and implemented new policy and procedure on receipts when receiving cash donations.

Sales Tax Paid The Department is in agreement with Audit's finding. Staff has been advised of this error and given the City's tax exempt letter for future purchases. In addition,the implementation of petty cash will ensure sales tax is not paid as it is not a reimbursable expense. 4. Inappropriate Use of Public Funds The Department agrees that there was evidence of some inappropriate use of public funds and has admonished staff accordingly. For those expenditures that appeared to be inappropriate, new policy and procedure has been implemented to correct these occurrences. Specifically, the Shelter will no longer accept donations for the purchase of food for volunteers or staff and all pharmaceutical products needed to treat miscellaneous needs of animals will be paid for out of petty cash and documented accordingly.

Through meetings and discussions with your office,we have vetted and implemented new policy and procedure on the use of "no sale"transactions. No "no sale"transaction will occur without the approval of a supervisor. The department is also exploring a Point of Service register system that could prompt for a supervisor code to prevent arbitrary transactions. 4 i 3.

Subject: 400 Kenmore Ave. Please open the attached letter from the Montrose Block Club, regarding the proposed Storage Facility at 400 Kenmore. We are requesting a response to our questions by the end of business today in advance of the Monday City of Buffalo Planning Board meeting on Monday Nov. 2, 2015. . 1 I Thanks. Martha Meegan Secretary 1 Montrose Block Club 'i J 1 1 i i I 3 3 2 1. Will hazardous materials, drugs and/or weapons be allowed to be stored? What kinds of restrictions with there be on what is allowed to be stored? How will this be monitored? Prohibited items include, hazardous materials, drugs,weapons, tires and perishable food items,among others. Customers will be required to certify that they are not storing prohibited materials as part of the rental agreement. 2. What is the protocol for storing items at the facility? What guarantees will there be to protect the safety of this residential neighborhood in the event of an emergency (fire etc.) Customers complete a rental agreement which is kept on file at the facility. Once the rental -- agreement is executed and approved by Uncle Bob's staff,the customer is assigned a clean and available unit within the facility to store permitted items. The customer is then provided access to the assigned unit,which they are required to secure. A unique digital access code is provided to each customer for an electronic key pad that will provide access to the general storage area only between the hours of 6 am to 10 pm. Each unit owner is required to provide insurance on their unit on an individual basis. a The entire facility will be fully sprinkled and alarmed for fire protection purposes. 3. Regarding the proposed fencing of the property,particularly the large parking lot area. Would this preclude use by.the community for neighborhood events like the annual Farmer's Market or community fair? 3 There is potential for use of the future development area by the community on an individual event basis, subject to indemnification and insurance requirements. 4. The fencing will not match the fence that is already in place along the south side neighbor properties. Is there a plan to replace that wood fencing and make it more esthetically pleasing for everyone? There is no plan to replace the existing fencing on the south end of the property. Over 70 feet of greenspace will be preserved between the fence and the residential properties on Nicholson, including a dense vegetative buffer. 5. How is DASH going to "actively"market the property for future business? Mr. Dash will be working with a licensed real estate broker with extensive experience in the area to market the remaining property for future commercial opportunities. 6. Will the building be locked and secured and unable to be accessed by anyone after the I Opm closing? Our research into operations of other Uncle Bob Storage facilities in the first ring suburbs allow 24/7 access 365 days a year. What guarantees will there be that this will not be allowed at the Kenmore location? 1 Yes, as indicated the facility will be completely locked and secured with no access for customers outside of the operational hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Security measures will include video surveillance and entry gates that require use of a customer access code to gain entry during business hours. 7. Will the loading docks have secured access? Yes. 8. Will Uncle Bob's Storage actively participate in the City of Buffalo Recycling program? Will they instruct their storage customers to recycle,post signage and recycling totes around the business for use by their customers? Yes,Uncle Bob's will participate in the City of Buffalo Recycling program and will encourage customers to do so as well. Recycling accommodations will be provided inside the facility. 9. Will there be a dumpster in the main parking lot as well as by the rear loading docks? As indicated on the site plan, an exterior dumpster, enclosed with a fence and gate,will be located_on the west side of the building in the same area as the former grocery store trash compactor. 10. Will the employees be Buffalo residents and be required to live in the City of Buffalo, thus adding much needed jobs to those who live on the bus line etc.. Uncle Bob's is an equal opportunity employer. 11. What kind of background checks are performed on those hired? How many of the jobs are full time w/benefits and part-time? Background checks and security interviews will be performed. Total number of jobs has not been determined. 12. Is Uncle Bob's a franchisee from Buffalo? Are there other locations owned by the same franchisee? Uncle Bob's is not a franchise. The facility will be operated by Uncle Bob's Management. 1 Uncle Bob's is owned by Sovran Self Storage,Main Street Williamsville. Sovran Self Storage was locally founded in 1984. Its first stores established were#031,also on Main St, and #014 on Leo Place in Cheektowaga,NY. Uncle Bob's now has 11 area locations in Lockport,Amherst, West Seneca,Tonawanda,Blasdell,Cheektowaga and Buffalo. In fact, this is not Sovran's first endeavor with a managed store in the Buffalo metro area. It currently manages a facility, Store#819, on 290 Ellicott Street next to the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. 1 1 i 13. Will auctions be held for units that are delinquent on rental fees? How will they be publicized and how often will they be held? Auctions may be held on units in default of their rental agreement; all advertising, including notices and publication will be conducted pursuant to NYS Law. 14. What is the plan for lighting and how will it affect the quality of life for neighboring residents. Note: When Budwey's store hours were done for the day,the big parking lot lights were turned off. Light levels after hours will be the minimum required for security and safety purposes. 15. How has signage been addressed to fit this area? The minimum signage required to effectively identify the business and brand has been proposed as part of the site plan approval process. 16. You have stated to the Planning Board that there is the potential for"future development" at 400 Kenmore. Was this property,the original structure ever marketed as a retail space or offered to be divided into smaller indoor operations?. The facility was offered for sale for over 12 months. The site was extensively marketed through new and old media channels,including the broker's website, CoStar, LoopNet and hundreds of informational flyers to other co-brokers, developers and owners of buildings in - and around Buffalo. There were over 75 calls and showing of the property; however there was not a single bonafide purchase offer. 17. There are serious concerns raised by the Day Care Center next to 400 Kenmore. The entrance to the storage facility is immediately next to the driveway and parking lot for parents dropping off and picking up children. What effort are you making to ensure full access to this business? Also,what about traffic there with small children and pedestrians using this lot and walking by on Kenmore Ave. How is this being addressed? The western gated access is for service only. All commercial traffic will be via the main (east) entrance. The entire facility will be enclosed by perimeter fencing. Security measures will include video surveillance. It should be noted, that while the supermarket was operational, the west entrance was not gated and was used for all deliveries without fencing or other safety accommodations. There will be significantly less vehicle activity on the west side of the building than the prior use. i I� I R 7 i =r a �LComMon Clounn't - - - 1. :: CITY OF BUFFALO LOVEJOY DISTRICT CHAIRMAN RICHARD A.FONTANA FINANCE CONE=E COMMTrTEES LOVEJOY DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER CIVIL SERVICE 65 NIAGARA SQUARE,1316-A CITY HALL SENIOR LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT BUFFALO,NY 14202-3318 BRYAN J.BOLLMAN PHONE:(716)851-5151 ♦ FAX:(716)851-5141 LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT E-mail:rfontana@city-buffalo.com THOMAS J.OLEJNICZAK i November 5, 2015 Honorable Charles Schumer United States Senate 130 South Elmwood Avenue, #660 Buffalo,NY 14202 RE: Concerns Regarding Bank CEO Severance Dear Senator Schumer, We share a common goal in ensuring the consumer protections of people in Western New York. With that in mind, I am writing to express my concern with the merger between KeyCorp and First Niagara Financial 1 Group(FNFG). While this deal may be good for the companies involved,I worry about the effect it will have on Buffalo. I also worry that the severance packages offered to the executives of FNFG send the wrong messages to subordinate employees—exacerbating their fears and uncertainty about this deal.. The two institutions employ over 3,300 people, many of whom work in Upstate New York locations of overlapping service. While this will almost certainly mean unemployment for many,the FNFG leadership will clear nearly $28 million in severance amongst themselves. Executive Vice President Joseph Saffire could end up with$2.9 million after only having joined FNFG less than a year ago. What will happen to the branch managers, loan counselors, and tellers?What will happen to the region, currently experiencing an impressive and yet still fragile resurgence, when hundreds suddenly have no income? If this merger is going to produce a leading bank in WNY,then it should be incumbent upon them to be leaders. They could demonstrate such leadership and corporate responsibility best by helping the people who have contributed to their success; they can look out for the common person. i Although it is not the spirit of their business to be concerned about the welfare of the public, it is ours. While I understand that the Senate does not have an official capacity to regulate this deal, I applaud you for raising the issue and doing what you can. With this open letter, I would like to make known my support for your efforts while offering my assistance. If there is anything that I can do,then do not hesitate to call on my office.

The ESD and documents related to the cleanup of this site can be found at the locations identified below under "Where to Find Information." Although this is not a request for comments, interested persons are invited to contact DEC's Project Manager for this site to obtain more information or have questions answered. INTRODUCTION This notice is to inform you of a change in the plan, or remedy, to clean up the Buffalo Color Corp. Area D site located at 1337 South Park Avenue, Buffalo,NY. As shown in Figure 1, the 19 acre site occupies an entire peninsula situated along the upper industrial reach of the Buffalo River. The change contains that part of the grossly contaminated material (GCM) outside the vertical hydraulic barrier wall and along the riverbank. In November 1991, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued a Record of Decision (ROD) which selected a remedy to clean up the Site. The selected remedy consisted of the following: • Containment of waste by a clay barrier wall and engineered cap system; • Extraction and treatment of contaminated groundwater; • Removal of near shore contaminated sediments from the Buffalo River; and 0 Protection of the river bank from erosion. Remedial construction work was initiated in 1997 and was completed in 1998, with the exception of a discrete area of grossly contaminated material (GCM) which remains within the river bank of the Buffalo River(see Figure 2). Final riverbank habitat enhancements were completed in 1999. The purpose of the ESD is to describe how the remedial approach originally presented in the ROD has been modified to address a change in the selected remedy. The ESD modifies the ROD selected remedy to allow for the permanent containment of the GCM outside the limits of the perimeter vertical hydraulic barrier wall and along the riverbank. The ESD will also become part of the Administrative Record for this Site. j WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION i The information here is a summary of what can be found in greater detail in documents that have been placed in the following repositories: I Erie County Public Library NYSDEC Region 9 Office Main Branch Division of Environmental Remediation 1 Lafayette Square 270 Michigan Avenue,3rd Floor Buffalo,New York 14203 Buffalo,New York 14203 (716)858-8900 Monday-Friday: 8:30 a.m. -3:30 p.m. htti)://www.buffalolb.orProject Manager:Eugene Melnyk (716)851-7220 eugene.melnyk(a.dec.ny.gov By Appointment Only DESCRIPTION OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE 1 The change is due to an unexpected discovery along the southwest section of river bank of a large amount of additional waste material made up of fill and grossly contaminated material (GCM). This fill and contamination are typical throughout the site. Background: A majority of this GCM along the riverbank was removed and a planned riverbank habitat enhancement was abandoned. However, due to the technical difficulties of bracing the recently constructed barrier wall with soil composed of clay necessary to excavate all GCM outside of the containment limits of the vertical hydraulic barrier wall, a section of GCM along the river bank was only partially removed. Approximately 4,000 cubic yards of GCM was left in-place submerged in the river along the riverbank. The submerged GCM was covered with a geosynthetic fabric and a sand layer for waste isolation, and a riprap layer for erosion protection. The covered GCM and cover system is situated within the legal property limits of the Site. Remedial construction work, including covering of the remaining GCM outside the limits of the perimeter slurry wall, was initiated in 1997 and was completed in 1998. Final riverbank habitat enhancements were completed in 1999. s _ RECEIVED AND FILED Various options were evaluated and the Responsible Party elected to cover in-place approximately 4,000 cubic yards of GCM with a cover consisting of a geotextile fabric overlain by a sand/rock layer for isolation, and covering the sand layer with riprap armoring for erosion protection. This measure resulted in leaving GCM along an embankment under an isolation cover and eliminating a planned riverbank habitat restoration feature. a A 2014 environmental easement ensures on-going monitoring and maintaining an in-river cover system. i SCHEDULE AND MORE INFORMATION i The revised riverbank remediation and restoration efforts have been in place since 1998. No further remediation efforts are deemed necessary. The Site, including the riverbank environment is under ongoing routine maintenance and monitoring with periodic reporting of conditions of the remediation measures and effectiveness of the engineering controls.

SmartRegs is an update to the housing and rental licensing code while adding baseline efficiency requirements for rental housing. This study analyzes the process the City of Boulder endured to adopt SmartRegs by performing a content analysis of public meeting minutes and conducting interviews with decision makers to identify barriers and success factors. A key finding is early involvement of one or more people committed to energy efficiency and reaching compromise is necessary to adopt such requirements in an economically driven and adversarial environment. Building codes are typically used to influence components of the constriction process. Recently their use has expanded to include the current operation of structures, focusing mainly on energy efficiency and the remodeling process. In January 2011, the City of Boulder, Colorado adopted SmartRegs. SmartRegs refers to three separate ordinances that update the city's housing code, rental licensing code, and provide baseline energy efficiency requirements for existing rental housing (City of Boulder, 2010a). SmartRegs requires the owners of rental property to upgrade their housing stock in order to receive the required rental license. This requirement is precedent setting since efficiency upgrades are typically only required, if at all, at times of sale or constriction. This study --- documents the process -used by the City of Boulder to adopt the SmartRegs ordinances. Understanding this process is important for individuals involved in real estate and constriction because it reveals several key steps and potential miss- steps in the adoption of precedent-setting code impacting residential energy efficiency. The adoption of SmartRegs by Boulder is a leading example of the progressive movement underway throughout the United States to use building codes to establish requirements for the natural environment and conservation. of resources and total emissions (USGBC, 201.0). This increasing focus on environmental requirements is the result of two key developments: a greater awareness by the industry of the need to decrease the negative environmental impact of buildings, and widespread practical. experience with built projects that have been raising the i 1 I } The Process for Adopting an Energy Efficiency Code ( 193 a } standards of building design and constriction (USGBC, 2010). The goals of energy codes include a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, save consumers and businesses money, lessen peak energy demand, increase utility system reliability, and improve indoor air quality throughout the lifecycle of the building, which is typically 50 years (The Building Codes Assistance Project, 2010). SmartRegs focuses on bringing new and existing buildings to a more efficient level of operating performance. The regulation of energy efficiency in rental housing is one of the means that the 1 City of Boulder is using to meet their 2012 Climate Action Plan goals to reduce greenhouse emissions by 23% from 1990 levels. Rental units in Boulder account for approximately 57% of the housing stock. The residential sector CO2 target reduction. is 94k metric tons by 2012 (City of Boulder, 201 la). Several special interest groups were involved in the adoption process including groups representing homeowner's/property managers, renters, non-profits, builders, architects, designers, local utility companies, environmental, and community members. As the level of interest increases, so does the complexity of the process. A complex process with several participants typically results in negotiation and significant compromise to attain the desired policy outcome. In Boulder, SmartRegs was adopted without significant change to its contents, but with " significant change to the time=line of adoption. New building codes and standards are developed by organizations such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). These model codes are then typically adopted by states or local entities, and updated eveiy three years on. the•basis of stakeholder deliberation and technical analysis to validate the recommended improvements (EPA, 2006). Each new revision of the codes incorporates the latest in technology, materials, and outcome goals of the promulgating agency. The goal of the 2012 IECC updates is an approximate 30% increase in residential energy-efficiency gains compared to the 2006 edition(Dept. of Energy, 2010). _ Local adoption of energy codes can occur directly through state legislation or through regulatory action by local agencies that are authorized by the state legislative body to oversee the development and adoption of those codes (Dept. of Energy, 2010). When adoption is done through the regulatory process, states and local governments often appoint an advisory panel comprised of representatives of various industries related to construction. (i.e., design, construction, and enforcement) to work with the public officials in all impacted departments. Such an advisory panel then recormnends revisions to existing codes, new codes or code sections that should be considered for local adoption (Dept. of Energy, 2010). In Boulder,many stakeholders directly or indirectly participated in the code adoption including city staff, a working group with two subcommittees, and several other interested parties. The identification and analysis of the groups that participated in the policy adoption process is important research because it allows us to understand the key attributes that facilitated the adoption, as well as any barriers to the adoption process. The specific goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that the effective adoption of a successful energy efficiency JOSRE I Vol. 3 I No. 1 — 2011 i i A i 194 Barrett, Glick, and Clevenger d i code is facilitated by a high degree of interdepartmental collaboration (Washington State Department of Transportation, 2010). i Literature Review A limited number of articles document the actual process of adopting an energy efficiency code, and fewer highlight the factors of success or the barriers to adoption. Such research is important to the real estate practitioner or investor because researchers are typically commissioned by regulatory agencies to study issues and make policy decision recommendations. The following literature review and case study involving the adoption of SmartRegs by the City of Boulder reveals a recent trend to favor the adoption of a well-articulated policy mix in adopting energy efficiency measures involving both regulatory and voluntary instruments. i Laquatra (1987) identifies the institutional barriers to energy efficiency code adoption in the rental housing sector as: building metering strategies, length of time as a rental unit, existence (or non-existence) of subsidies and rent control I ordinances, and availability of favorable financing or other incentive programs. Mandated standards or codes, combined with financial incentives and technical assistance to owners, could.be undertaken to successfully overcome these resulting barriers. Similarly, Choi (2010) identifies five major categories of potential market barriers that may impact the implementation of green building practices: knowledge gaps in green development qualifications, communication shortfall, ownership structure and operating cost responsibility, funding issues, and risk and process issues. Some of the principles for removing market barriers to green development include: integrated design, maintenance and operation expenses when comparing costs (lifecycle cost), design incentives to motivate or change behavior, adoption and alignment of codes to meet environmental goals, and changes to the bidding process to require green features (Choi, 2010). - Lee and. Yik (2004) support the adoption of a mix of regulatory and voluntary instruments in adopting energy efficiency measures. Besides setting a minimum standard for all buildings, regulatory controls can. also augment existing voluntary instruments. In addition, the use of phase-in periods for regulation and awareness campaigns may also lead to greater acceptance of early conversion or conversion by other market segments to meet the intent of the new regulations. The SmartR.egs ordinances use an eight-year phase in period. In addition, the compliance expenditures in the first three years may be offset by federal, state, and local funding (City of Boulder, 2011b). The market recognizes the importance of making a building energy efficient; however, in some situations (e.g., rental housing), the market may recognize that the investment will not be supported with higher return on investment (ROI) due to market limitations (Lee and Yik, 2004). It is in these instances where the use of regulation and financial incentives may be necessary. Choi (2010) examined the effect of municipal policies on commercial green buildings. This research finds that municipal regulatory policy The Process for Adopting an Energy Efficiency Code I 195 i has been a strong tool in.promoting green building. However., the use of incentive- based programs has not been as effective in promoting green building. i As state and local policies and rating systems that promote residential energy conservation become more common, as evidenced by California's "Title 24" and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) "National Green Building Standard," issues surrounding education and implementation also become more critical. In addition to local policies and rating systems, home energy audits are gaining precedent as other countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom (implement mandatory home energy audits. Energy Performance Certificates have been required in the U.K. since 2008 on homes that are being sold, rented or built. The majority of these home improvements are relatively low-cost, and the benefits they provide in terms of reduced energy consumption equate to both short- and long-term savings (Adlarn, 2011). Methodology The methodology for the study to examine the adoption of Residential Energy ;Codes by the City of Boulder included interviews and content analysis. Interviews are used in research to fill in the blanks and.understand events from an individual perspective (Gubrium, 2002). Content analysis "entails a systematic reading sof a body of texts, images, and symbolic matter, not necessarily from an authors or user's perspective," (Krippendorff, 2004, p. 3). In general, the goal of content analysis is to identify words or phrases that are frequently used in. a written record based on a set of coding choices: level of analysis, irrelevant information, predefined or interactive concept choice, level of generalization, the creation of translation rules, existence or frequency, and the number of concepts (Carley, 1993). The authors elected not to use software programs such as NVivo or Atlas due to the scope of the study. Instead., the authors performed qualitative data analysis from the data collected from public hearing transcripts, board comments to the city council., and survey results gathered from tenants and landlords. A manual content analysis was performed to identify dominant recurring themes. In cases where the researchers bad questions or sought clarification,they incorporated these questions into the interview process of the key stakeholders. The authors, therefore, used a synthesis of methods as appropriate to understand the public policy process where meetings were recorded and made available as public record. The authors perforined two initial interviews of public officials to help direct the I researchers to the data sources used in this study, and provide further clarification of the code adoption process. Interviewees were with the Local Environmental Action Division (LEAD) and with the Building Construction and Code Enforcement Division. The first interviewee was the supervising building inspector/assistant building official. The second was the residential. sustainability coordinator in the Local Environmental Action Division. A series of questions (Appendix) were asked to decipher the process from the perspective of the interviewees. The questions were open-ended and intended to discern why process worked the way it did, what made it successful, and what barriers may have existed. to adoption.

The research identified these words or phrases invoked multiple times in the written records as important concepts relating to the adoption process. For example, building owners continually repeated that they could not afford to make the required upgrades to their properties and that such requirements were a financial hardship. In contrast, the renters repeatedly brought up the concept of fairness since they were paying the utility bills, which were high due to energy- inefficient buildings. City of Boulder Residential Energy Codes Case Study In Colorado the state agency responsible for supporting local energy efficiency code adoption is the Governor's Energy Office (GEO). This office was created in 1997 to promote energy conservation in Colorado and their mission "encourages - local adoption of the national model energy codes and works in partnership with building departments and local policymakers to provide outreach, information, data, and other resources to support this process," (The Building Codes Assistance Project, p. 17, 2010). The GEO encourages local adoption of the national model energy codes and works in partnership with building departments and local policy makers to provide outreach, information, data, and other supporting resources. Boulder is the eighth largest city in Colorado and has a dynamic economy that is supported by computer, aerospace, scientific, and various research firms (Witt et al., Vasatka, 2003). Boulder has a history of progressive city ordinances, which exemplifies its commitment to the environment. In 1.996, it became the first municipality in the country to adopt a formal green building code (and beyond- code green points program) for residential construction (City of Boulder, 2011c). The Boulder Green Points Building Program is a mandatory residential green building program that requires a builder or homeowner to include a variety of i i a a 2 The Process for Adopting an Energy Efficiency Code I 197 j Exhibit 2 1 SmartRegs: New Policy Comparison 1 Previous Policy New Policy Boulder Housing Code Ordinance 7724: Adoption of 2009 International Properly Maintenance Code Rental Licensing Ordinance 7725: Updated provisions for new and renewal rental licenses Ordinance 7726: Created baseline energy efficiency requirements for existing rental housing — Note:,The source is the City of Boulder, CO (www.bouldercolorado.gov). sustainable building elements in their structure. In addition to the minimum green points requirements, new construction projects must also show energy efficiency compliance through the home energy rating analysis (HE. S) rating, which will vary according to the size of the home (City of Boulder, 2011c). The HERS process includes a review of plans, energy modeling and various tests to ensure the home will meet the ENERGY STAR performance guidelines(RESNet, 2011). d Rental units in the City of Boulder account for about 51% of the residential — housing stock (Swallow, 2010). They represent a substantial energy savings potential and greenhouse gas reduction opportunity. The city's overall goal is to reduce.,greenhouse gas emissions coming from homes by 94,000 metric tons of 171CO2 by 2012, making rental housing units an attractive opportunity. Specifically, the city proposed to achieve these reductions through the adoption of the SmartRegs ordinances. These ordinances are estimated to contribute about 45k metric tons of CO2 savings to the City's 94k metric tons goal for all residential units upon total compliance (Urie, 2010). SmartRegs SmartRegs refers to three separate ordinances that update the city's housing code, rental licensing code, and provide baseline energy efficiency requirements for existing rental housing. The changes to existing policy are shown in Exhibit 2. I Under SmartRegs, the Boulder housing code was replaced with the 2009 version of the International Property Maintenance ,Code. The requirement that all rental housing units need to comply with. this code, even if they were not coming in for a permit to do maintenance or remodeling work, set a national precedent (volckhausen, 2010). The rental unit owners have an eight-year window in which to complete the updates per the code, which went into effect on January 3, 2011. As an incentive, the early adopters of the code requirements can apply to federal, state, and local agencies for help with expenditures made in the first three years of the program Property owners can comply with energy efficiency requirements by following either a performance or prescriptive path. The performance path requires a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 120 or. better. Alternatively, a prescriptive JOSRE I Vol. 3 I No. 1 — 2011 jl ' 198 I Barrett, Glick, and Clevenger i i i j path is technical in nature and typically involves a designated checklist. SmartRegs was unanimously approved by the Boulder City Council after more than a year of collaboration with various community and technically-based subcommittees, j city advisory boards, and residents. Stakeholders Numerous groups are impacted by this specific code adoption: Realtors`, bankers, tenants, property management companies, and several others. Realtors may find that rental sales do not appraise to meet the price needed to pay for improvements required by the code. The financial industry may not fully understand the issues with payback and ROI on energy efficiency improvements and the impact on monthly expenses. Finally, property managers need to be aware of the requirements of the code to ensure the units they manage are in compliance. Public understanding and awareness of green building code adoption is imperative. If the public and those directly impacted by the code are not educated in the issues ? and benefits, the negative connotations of another regulation may preclude code adoption. With this targeted sector, rental housing, the reliance on cash flow for debt service and primary or secondary income sources may increase resistance to the proposed code and have trickle-down economic impacts on the local economy. Industry groups represented in the SmartRegs planning process included two opposing sides: the homeowner's/property managers, and the renters and progressive non-profit groups. External stakeholders represented in the process included local contractors, builders, architects, designers, local utility staff, energy and. construction consultants, residents, local business owners, environmental groups, and community groups. The internal stakeholders included the City Council, the three advisory boards including the Planning Board, the Landmarks Board, the Environmental Advisory Board, and staff. There were several supporters of SmartRegs, primarily a group known as New Era Colorado and secondary groups including: the Boulder Area Housing Authority, Boulder Housing Partners, University of Colorado off-campus student groups, HERS raters, energy consulting firms, the Boulder Area Rental Housing Association, apartment owners, Xcel Energy, PLAN-Boulder County, real-estate brokers, licensed rental housing inspectors, and the community at large. jTo foster direct collaboration with stakeholders, the SmartRegs staff began holding meetings with a community Working Group (Exhibit 3). The staff included eight members from various departments within the City of Boulder. This group was responsible for transforming the proposed new code into legal ordinance. The community Working Group was divided into two subcommittees: code updates group and the energy efficiency group. The energy efficiency group was comprised of representatives from the Boulder Area Housing Association, University of Colorado Off Campus Student Services, Boulder Housing Partners, and apartment owners.

Noticeably,both interviewees championed the same long-term goal, yet stressed differences in the factors of success, as well as potential downfalls to the adoption process. The majority of conunents reviewed during the content analysis demonstrated that the landlords/owners of properties were in dissent of the proposed regulations. They cited several reasons, but the overwhelming reasons included potential financial burdens; government intervention, and the complexity of the measures proposed. The tenants of the rental surveys primarily demonstrated agreement with the proposed regulations. They cited potential financial savings, fairness, and - means to alleviate split-incentive as primary motivation. Lastly, the city staff.noted that it was in the best interest of the both people and the environment to further the mission of the Community Action. Plana A review of the meeting minutes revealed additional support and opposition groups. A group called New Era encouraged the Council to approve SmartRegs. New Era gathered support by walking the streets of Boulder to gather signatures from the student community in support of the proposed ordinances. Another important supporter of the regulation was the University of Colorado (CU) off- -- campus student group. Because students primarily rent houses rather than own, they had a significant stake in. this process and supported the proposed code. -- The group Renters with Benefits canvassed areas with student housing collecting signatures in support of regulations. Additionally, a group called PLAN-Boulder County strongly supported the regulation. They stated, "This government intervention is necessary because the split incentive in the rental market ensures that landlords will not perceive a direct financial benefit for making GHG reducing improvements, and consequently improvements will not be made," (Plan Boulder County, 2010, p. 1). This sentiment supports the notion of"affordability (Exhibit 6), whereby renters felt that financial equality and equity would be addressed through SmartRegs. All three of these groups were present at the first and second Council meetings and posted comments in support of the regulation on the SmartRegs website. Due to their level of involvement, each group had representation on both subcommittees of the Working Group for the duration of the process. General results are summarized in Exhibit 6.

Findings from the Code Adoption Process Several key findings emerged to support the hypothesis that effective adoption of a successful energy efficiency code is facilitated by a high degree of interdepartmental collaboration.. In addition, it was determined that compromise was necessary to arrive at the final code language that was adopted. Opposing Parties Public input was analyzed from public hearings and the online forum for public questions/concerns. Opposing opinions of the three stakeholder groups were j The Process for Adopting an Energy Efficiency Code I 203 1 displayed throughout the process and reflected the self.-interest each group had in. the process .(Exhibit 6). Stakeholders generally maintained their, opinions supporting their agenda throughout the various phases of the process. For example, a City Council member, an elected official, has a desire to follow through on election promises to external stakeholders; in this case, several Council members had promised greenhouse gas reductions; therefore, they had an incentive_ to accomplish the promised goal. - External stakeholders, consisting of taxpayers, may want to see some.concrete evidence that the Climate Action Plan (CAP) tax they voted on in 2006 is actually paying dividends. The Council, with direction from the CAP needed to take action to meet the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 7% below, 1990 levels by 2012. Finally, the issue of social inequity (between two external stakeholders) j enabled support by various groups for this program from the beginning of the process. The City of Boulder strove to place the utility savings in the hands of those who typically pay the utility bills,the renters. The rationale for this goal was the belief that renters are at the mercy of landlords that own energy-inefficient rental properties. While this topic is beyond the scope of this paper, the existence of "split incentives" has been well documented for renters (Riga, 2010). In general, ' for rental properties, those who make the decisions about a building's level of energy efficiency are generally not the same people who consume energy within that structure. Research has shown that when occupants are not the ones making energy efficiency decisions, the incentive to invest in energy conservation measures is lost ((Laquatra, 1990). The adoption of building efficiency codes for existing structures can be used to resolve this problem, either through prescription or performance measures. Existing strictures, however, are typically not subject to code updates or adoption cycles. Many existing structures will be in use for the foreseeable future and owners can continue to pass along energy cost increases to tenants regardless of the inefTiciencies in a building's thermal envelope or HVAC systems (Laquatra, 1987). More recently, people in the United Kingdom, and elsewhere, have increasingly called to stop this practice. For example, an attempt is underway in the UK to prevent landlords from renting energy-inefficient homes (Guardian, 2011). Other legislation is in place in Germany, the UK, and Canada that requires energy audits at the time of building sale (The Green Energy Act, 2009). These audits, however, are triggered only at the time of sale, and not a change of tenant. As one member of the city's staff explained, they were looking at rental houses because they do not have the normal economic incentive to lower energy -.sage (Volckhausen, 2010). In addition, the Green Points Program was already in effect in the City of Boulder to address sustainability in new homes so the next logical step was to address existing homes, specifically rental homes. The March, 2010 Property Owner Energy.Efficiency Proposal Survey further conveyed the disparity in opposing views between the owners and renters. For example, the following question. was posed: The SmartRegs project is proposing energy efficiency requirements for licensed rental properties in.the City of Boulder. JOSRE I Vol . 3 I No. 1 - 201 1 i 204 1 Barrett, Glick, and Clevenger Do you agree or disagree? The answer was overwhelmingly in opposition to SmartReg's proposal. Roughly 75% of property owners said they disagree with energy efficiency requirements. In contrast, in the Renters Energy Efficiency Proposal Survey, 82% of respondents surveyed expressed support of this proposal 3 (City of Boulder, 2010b). - { i Compromise A 14-month timeline was needed to accommodate public input,additional public hearings, and multiple clarifications from issues demanded by Council (City of Boulder, 2011d). These challenges in the SmartRegs process included industry opposition due to conflicting agendas and difficulties in deciding what performance criteria to use. In the end, the adversarial environment was overcome because of the early involvement of key stakeholders, specifically interdepartmental groups, working in a collaborative manner to form a consensus recommendation as to the code language to the decision-making body. The City of Boulder stakeholder involvement followed patterns similar to those documented in other code adoption processes (Dunn, 2008) in that: (1) stakeholders served as advocates for a strong program from their perspective; (2) a strong collaborative process served to protect the program's integrity; and (3) an inclusive process built lasting consensus and a broader base of support. The City of Boulder recognized early in the process that the homeowners, property managers, renters, and non-profit groups would all be impacted by the proposed -- regulation. The establishment of working groups enabled both parties to be involved in the process from the beginning. The City of Boulder worked hard to ensure these voices were not only heard, but were equally represented in the working group process. The biggest critic, also part of the working groups, was the non-profit Boulder Area Rental Housing Association (BARNA). They were critical of the proposal's timeline from the beginning. They expressed to Council at the second reading that property managers "want to make SmartRegs work," { and,that the proposed rules were generally rational and reasonable. However, they also stated that a lengthy roll-out was essential. They indicated that thousands of -- Boulder landlords would be affected by SmartRegs and "have a lot on the line with this program." Furthermore, they expressed that landlords would have to raise the rent to compensate for the increased expenses, making Boulder rentals potentially even more expensive, driving residents elsewhere (Urie, 2010). j The open dialogue between advocates and skeptics educated the various department staffs and ensured that critical concerns were dealt with directly and effectively. For example, BARHA was able to have extensive input and ultimately the City proposed an eight-year roll-out plan giving owners till January 1, 2019 to meet code. The original council plan had only a three-year timeline. This was a key compromise to gain owner support. As a way to convince the owners to be early policy adopters, the staff educated the owners about possible incentives from federal, state, and local agencies available in the first three years of the policy. Mayor Susan Osborne praised the collaboration between the landlords and the city planners saying "I th.ink this is about as close as we can get to an ordinance that I The Process for Adopting an Energy Efficiency Code I 20.5 is workable; we've come a Long, long way," (Urie, 2010, p. 2). The process i exemplified how early interdepartmental collaboration and engagement of special interest groups was instrumental in the adoption of an energy efficiency code. i Code Refinement and .Support The code seta point value needed to meet the criteria for energy,efficiency. One of the first tasks of the working group and staff was determining what programs and performance criteria to use or reference in SmartRegs. They chose to include both the performance and prescriptive path options after the first reading to allow flexibility for owners. Being able to use a checklist to get to the 100 required t points removed a level of uncertainty in the process. The checklist also rewarded owners for existing conditions present at the property. The utilization of consultants helped facilitate the code adoption.. At the beginning of the process, Economic Planning Systems (EPS) performed an economic assessment to evaluate the economic impact of SmartRegs on residential rental properties. The city did follow-up testing on seven homes and estimated that { reaching the 100-point threshold. (prescriptive path) would cost $675—$3,243 per home (Urie, 2010). Populas, another consultant,.taught its Energy Code Workshop to county staff and officials in various departments to increase their understanding of the technical nature of energy codes. They also provided energy code design services and a residential energy analysis for SmartRegs rental housing prescriptive approach (Popu.lus, 2010). -1 Public Outreach Two websites were established to communicate the vision and program to the community, SmartEnergy and SmartRegs. Outreach was one of the main factors that contributed to the successful adoption of the code by allowing the special interest groups to work with their contacts in the various departments at the city level and ensured that the interdepartmental collaborations included all perspectives. Collaborating with utilities on efficiency issues is typical, but many other partnerships were necessary. Training was also necessary to ensure that staff had the capability to provide the technical assistance on energy efficiency designs. A summary of the lessons learned from public outreach include: ■ A study session with Council should have been held after working group was first established. ■ Make sure the facts are presented and clarified to the public at the beginning so no ambiguity exists. ■ Make sure that the proposed policy is well defined and solid from the beginning. i These key lessons learned highlight the need to have a solid policy model from the beginning so the public understands the intent and impact of the proposed code. JOSRE I Vol. 3 I No. 1 — 201 1 1 1 206 I Barrett, Glick, and Clevenger i I Exhibit 7 Barriers and Factors of Success Barriers Factors of Success 1 Lengthy and bureaucratic process Early involvement of key stakeholders Adversarial One or more champions Difficulties in deciding what performance criteria to use Compromise 1 Status quo Utilizing consultants from the community Neutrality and education Neutrality SmartRegs was a politically charged initiative and it was important for the city staff to appear neutral during the adoption process. The staff did not act as an advocacy group, take sides, nor did they relay personal opinions while addressing the Council. They simply worked to make recommendations based on the feedback of the working group and the planning, landmarks, and environmental advisory boards. An important lesson .learned during this process is the use of multiple study sessions with Council. In this case, one was held prior to the establishment of the working group, but not afterwards so the Council had no firsthand knowledge of the working group's position on the issue. Such an additional meeting could have streamlined the process, reduced animosity, and helped in negotiations as a compromise was worked out. However, itis not known whether the additional study session would have negated the need for the second "first" reading of the proposal The status duo is always hard to change and communication is necessary to ensure there is no miscommunication of the policy intent and purpose. Landlords j accustomed to making property improvements at their discretion typically are not amenable to mandates impacting their decision making and financialplanning processes. Exhibit 7 presents the primary barriers and success factors. _ Conclusions I The process of code development and implementation is complex and consists of multiple steps (Exhibit 8). The City of Boulder staff played the role of a neutral facilitator in a politically charged policy adoption process, identified solid policy to the community to garner support, and performed public outreach to maximize public understanding. The actions of the staff appear to support the hypothesis that a high degree of interdepartmental collaboration in the code adoption process makes the process more efficient. The City identified both supporting and non- supporting constituencies in order to establish community working groups representing all interested parties. Once established, the community working groups were recognized as legitimate representatives of the community because they spoke for a wide range of people impacted by the proposed code.

While this policy was not sought by rental property owners in Boulder, the interdepartmental collaboration, public involvement, and process cultninated in code language and a delayed implementation period that will make this policy more successful in the long run. Ultimately, giving people a forum to express their voice, while listening to the concerns and establishing the facts/information at the forefront of the discussion, supported the successful code adoption. Critical actions in the adoption of SmartRegs by the City of Boulder include: 1. Identify where codes need to be implemented or revised. 2. Prepare a sound code for presentation to the public and impacted constituents. 3. Identify and secure opposing sponsors of the proposed code to participate 1 through the entire process. 4. Maintain. open and upfront dialogue with all parties to promote learning and compromise. 5. Provide proper communication and education forums to ensure support and understanding of the proposed code. 6. Provide a forum for the public to express their interest/concerns and provide iterative feedback. 7. Have a review process to ensure the code adoption process is collaborative, fair, and efficient. JOSRE I Vol. 3 I No. 1 — 2011 208 1 Barrett Glick and Clevenger There were lessons that were learned during the process. The first lesson is the policy set forth for consideration should be solid and well thought out. Second, more study sessions with council would have shared important information earlier in the process and may have saved time and effort for those involved. Third, the clear and accurate communication of information to the public removes ambiguity. Fourth, the involvement of multiple interest groups in the process ensures that, through compromise, everyone gets some, but not all of what they want. These lessons can be used in other policy adoption processes focused on energy efficiency in existing homes to ensure a smoother process for all those involved. -- As the use of codes increases as a way to improve the energy efficiency of housing stock, this process is sure to be repeated many times. According to the chief executive officer of the ICC, "We are now at a place in the evolution of the sustainability movement that requires the specialty, the 1 reliability and enforceability that only a code can bring," (Sims, 2009, p. 2). With a proactive, constructive partnership with. code officials, city staff, and public constituents, mutual interests may prevail. Future research may include determining the long-tern impacts, over five or ten years, of the SmartRegs ordinances. Policy assessment is the final. step in determining the overall success of the policy. The analysis of rental rates during and after the phase-in period would. provide valuable information for other jurisdictions wanting to adopt such policies. It would also increase peripheral businesses understanding of the impacts this type of policy may have on their business model. Other areas of interest include: will the rental market in Boulder change in terms of the percentage of rental units to total homes, do students continue to make up the majority of renters, were the targeted energy savings achieved, have the number of rental resale's increased/decreased, what impact has SmartRegs had in the price of rental units for resale, have financial institutions supported loans for this type of upgrade to rental units? Additional information on the success of the incentive program offered during the first three years of the phase-in period will help other jurisdictions determine the public cost associated with this type of code adoption.

Access to high speed internet for all WCCS students at a more affordable cost is of critical importance for our ? school where 89%of the students are eligible for the free or reduced lunch program.The ability to use the internet at home can have a profound impact on student academic success and provide access to resources not otherwise available to the student outside of school. In addition,this will provide a valuable link between parents and the school.Parents will have access to the school website and parent portal as well as being able to communicate with teachers via e-mail.All of this will assist parents in providing essential academic support to their children. We recognize that this will also have a positive impact for our students and their families beyond academics. A municipal network will encourage competition, increase consumer choice,drive local economic development and improve public safety.Today the internet is essential to obtaining information about health resources,job opportunities, gaining new career skills,and government programs. We urge the Common Council to approve this first step in making high speed internet access available to all city residents and businesses and we look forward to the results of this study.

Residents, schools, libraries and businesses require next-generation connectivity to succeed. • The internet is non-partisan: because the internet is an essential resource for residents and businesses in all communities, the provision of fast, reliable and affordable internet transcends partisanship. This collaboration welcomes leaders of all affiliations and beliefs, who believe fast, reliable and affordable high-speed internet access is essential to secure America's internet future. • Communities must enjoy self-determination: broadband solutions must align with community needs —there is no perfect model that is universally appropriate. Towns and cities should have the right\ to consider all options- whether public, non-profit, and corporate or some other hybrid — free from interference. • High-speed internet is a community-wide endeavor: building effective next-generation networks requires cooperation across communities. It is critical to involve and include organizations, residents, anchor institutions and others. Everyone in a community should be able to access the internet on reasonable terms. • Meaningful competition drives progress: a vibrant, diverse marketplace with transparency in offering pricing and policies will spur innovation, R increase investment and lower prices. Communities, residents and businesses should have a meaningful choice in providers. • Collaboration benefits all: innovation approaches to broadband deployment present diverse challenges and opportunities to communities and regions. Working together, cities can learn from the experiences of others, lower costs and make the est use of next-generation networks. Whereas, the Buffalo Common Council has been active in the research and development of municipal wireless internet, allowing for faster, more affordable internet for everyone in the City of Buffalo; Resolved that The City of Buffalo Common Council- 1) Agrees to support the principals of the Next Generation Cities Project; 2) Calls on the Office of Strategic Planning, the Office of Telecommunications to review and incorporate the principals of the Next Generation Cities Project and apply them in the City of Buffalo's plan to bring fast, affordable internet to our city; 3) that the City Clerk forward copies of this resolution to the Office of Strategic Planning, the Office of Telecommunications, Mayor Byron Brown, the Federal Communications Commission, Time Warner Cable and the Western New York delegation of the Erie County Legislature for their response.

Now,Therefore, Be It Resolved,this body supports the passage of the Safe Staffing for Quality Care Act during the 2016 NY State Legislative session; and Be It Further Resolved,this body applauds Assemblymember Peoples-Stokes,Assemblymember Ryan, Assemblymember Kearns,Senator Panepinto, and Senator Kennedy for sponsoring this legislation and urges our entire WNY delegation to prioritize this legislation for their 2016 agenda; and Be It Finally Resolved,the City Clerk send a copy of this resolution to Governor Cuomo, Senate Majority I Leader Flanagan,Assembly Speaker Heastie,Senator Panepinto, Senator Kennedy,Assemblymember Peoples-Stokes, Assemblymember Ryan, and Assemblymember Kearns.
