Section 301(c)(2) of the Charter of the City of Albany is hereby amended to read as follows: (2) Within 30 days after first taking office, the Mayor shall designate a deputy to perform any of the Mayor's duties, with the exceptions outlined above, during a limited period of absence or inability to perform. The Mayor shall from time to time review and, as necessary, promptly revise the designation to ensure that there is at least one duly authorized deputy to serve in this capacity, subject to the advice and consent of the Common Council. This advice and consent authority shall be applicable to new appointments within 45 days of the Mayor's filing of by filing a written notice with the City Clerk. This advice and consent authority shall not be applicable to new appointments prior to January 1, 2026, only. The Common Council must either confirm or reject any such appointment within 45 days of the Mayor's filing of a written notice of appointment with the City Clerk. In the event the Common Council fails to timely approve or disapprove the appointment, the appointment shall be deemed confirmed. In the event the Common Council timely rejects the appointment, the Mayor shall make a new appointment for such position, which shall also be subject to confirmation pursuant to the above procedure. Section 2. Section 403 of the Charter of the City of Albany is hereby amended to read as follows: The President of the Common Council shall be elected in the City at large, and shall succeed the Mayor in the event of death, resignation, absence or disability as set forth in the General City Law; except that the powers and duties of the Office of the Mayor shall not devolve upon the President of the Common Council during a limited period of either absence of the Mayor from the City or inability of the Mayor to perform his or her powers and duties, unless both the Mayor and the deputy of the Mayor be absent from the State and in such case, the President shall serve as Acting Mayor pursuant to § 51 of the Second Class Cities law. The President shall preside over the meetings of the Common Council and perform such other functions as set forth in Second Class Cities Law. Section 3. This local law shall take effect after final passage, public hearing, referendum, and filing with the Secretary of State. APPROVED AS TO FORM THIS 21ST DAY OF JUNE, 2024 _____________________________ Corporation Counsel To: Shaniqua Jackson, City Clerk From: Bryan Jimenez, Senior Legislative Aide Jake Eisland, Research Counsel Re: Common Council Legislation Supporting Memorandum Date: June 12, 2024 Sponsor: Council Member Flynn LOCAL LAW G OF 2024 TITLE A LOCAL LAW AMENDING SECTION 301 AND SECTION 403 OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF ALBANY IN RELATION TO THE DEPUTY MAYOR GENERAL PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION This local law amends the Charter of the City of Albany to establish a process with greater transparency for the temporary delegation of the powers and duties of the Mayor of Albany by requiring that individuals selected to take on those powers be vetted by the Common Council before the Mayor appoints them to serve at the pleasure of the Mayor. It also restores the delegation of those powers and duties to the President of the Common Council as provided for in New York State law in the event of the absence of both the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. The Common Council is able to amend the Charter of the City of Albany by a local law which would undergo a public hearing by the Mayor and await their signature or veto. As the charter amendment affects the law of succession in the position of the Mayor, the local law must go before voters at the next general election after the Mayor signs the law or the Common Council overrides the veto. This legislation begins that process. NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND ANY CHANGE TO EXISTING LAW The Mayoral Charter Reform Commission in 2006 sought to provide a mechanism by which the Mayor could appoint a deputy to act as Mayor in their temporary absence or disability. In so doing, the language introduced under Section 301(c)(2) functionally limits the Mayoral appointment of a deputy to only be performed within the first 30 days of the Mayor first taking office. There remains a question of applicability and clarity with regards to the Mayor's appointment of deputies after the position first becomes vacant. The commission presented the language under § 301(c)(2) to voters which only provides that the Deputy Mayor is selected by the Mayor upon first taking office. This same commission provided the Treasurer with the power to appoint a deputy at other points after the initial appointment—language that is missing in § 301(c)(2). For reference, the language included under the Treasurer's section of the Charter is as follows: "Within 30 days after first taking office, the Treasurer shall designate a deputy to perform any of the Treasurer's duties, subject to any exceptions found in state law, during a limited period of absence or inability to perform, by filing a written notice with the City Clerk. The Treasurer shall from time to time review and, as necessary, promptly revise the designation to ensure that there is at least one duly authorized deputy to serve in this capacity." (Charter of the City of Albany, § 603(d)) Furthermore, the commission failed to adjust the delegation of powers to the President of the Common Council, the head of the legislative branch and elected at-large, and provide for a succession mechanism that functions when the deputy mayor is unavailable. This change would address that by allowing the mayor to designate a deputy mayor, even when not “within 30 days after first taking office.” Additionally, this change restores the right of the President of the Common Council to serve as acting Mayor when no Deputy Mayor is available to perform the duties of Mayor, as is consistent with other levels of government, such as the federal government where the Speaker of the House becomes President in the event of a vacancy in either the Presidency or Vice Presidency or the New York State government where a temporary President of the Senate (or Speaker of the Assembly in their absence) serves as Governor in the event of a temporary vacancy in either the Governorship or Lieutenant Governorship. FISCAL IMPACT None.

NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND CHANGES TO EXISTING LAW Research shows that faster driving speeds correlate to more serious injuries and fatalities for pedestrians in the event of an accident. The faster a vehicle is traveling, the less time its driver will have to see a pedestrian in the road and stop, and the less time a pedestrian will have to react. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a pedestrian struck by a vehicle going 25mph has a 25 percent risk of sustaining a serious or fatal injury, a 50 percent risk at 33mph and a 75 percent risk at 41mph. A 2018 study released by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that lowering the speed limit by 5 mph on city streets improves safety outcomes for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists by reducing the incidence of speeding. The study focused on Boston, which in 2017 lowered its default speed limit on city streets from 30mph to 25mph. Researchers found that after the city lowered its speed limit, the estimated odds of a vehicle exceeding 35mph fell by 29.3 percent. Also, the odds of a vehicle exceeding 30mph fell by 8.5 percent and by 2.9 percent of exceeding 25mph. These reduced speeds will help to curb the city's incidence of serious injuries and fatalities in pedestrian involved accidents. In 2014, New York City lowered its speed limit from 30mph to 25mph, as part of a program known as "Vision Zero," aimed at ending all traffic related deaths and serious injuries in the city by 2024. To date, the three years following implementation of the program have been studied and the number of traffic related fatalities declined for these three consecutive years and went down 23 percent overall.

In August of 2022, Governor Hochul signed bill S2021A/A1007, which grants municipalities the authority to lower the speed limit to as low as 25 mph.

Whereas most private employers in the State, as well as the State itself, have provided the paid family leave benefit since 2018, the Common Council desires the City to provide competitive benefits relative to other employers. It is also the intent of the Common Council to promote the health and wellbeing of the City workforce. Studies have shown that the use of paid family leave benefits leads to lower instances of postpartum depression in mothers and better physical health outcomes for infants. It is also the intent of the Common Council to foster economic equity as paid family leave benefits have been linked to increased workforce participation among women and lower utilization of social safety net benefits NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND CHANGES TO EXISTING LAW Section 212-b of New York State Workers’ Compensation Law requires the opt-in to family leave benefits by a municipal corporation to be authorized by the governing body. FISCAL IMPACT(S) No cost to the City. NYS Paid Family Leave Benefits are funded through employee payroll deductions.

NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND CHANGES TO EXISITING LAW The legalization of cannabis at the state level has led to an influx of smoke shops, vape shops, tobacco or vape consumption businesses and other retail businesses primarily engaged in the sale of smoking and tobacco products, and tobacco or cannabis paraphernalia throughout the City. While considerable licensing requirements exist, and many zoning functions preempted, under New York State Law regarding cannabis uses, no such state-wide authority exists which regulates smoke shops, vape shops and tobacco or vape consumption businesses. TIME FRAME FOR PASSAGE Applications for smoke or vape shops will be delayed until such time that the USDO is amended. Accordingly, it is recommended that the proposed amendments be considered as expeditiously as is practicable. FISCAL IMPACTS Unknown. Matter in strikethrough to be deleted.

NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND CHANGES TO EXISITING LAW The Planning Department received an inquiry for such use and upon review determined that the use is not adequately addressed by the current provisions within the USDO. FISCAL IMPACTS None. Agency Use Only [If applicable] Full Environmental Assessment Form Project : Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts Date : Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency=s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer “Yes” to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer “No” to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box “Moderate to large impact may occur.” • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the Awhole action@. • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. • Attach additional sheets, as needed. 1(b) The proposed action may involve construction on slopes of 15% or greater. The geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, and number of people affected by the impact is minimal. The slope construction is limited to the development of the new bathhouse, which will be cut into a hillside on the western edge of the project site. Slope stabilization measures are employed (and defined within the construction plans). These stabilization elements ensure that no erosion or slope failures occur as the result of construction. In addition, the terraces that make up these stabilization features will be used by the public as a seating area. 1(d) The proposed action may involve the excavation and removal of more than 1,000 tons of natural material. The Lincoln Park Pool site was, historically, a ravine. Prior to the pool’s construction the Beaver Creek, a natural water body that was converted to a trunk sewer, was piped and covered. 60-90 feet of fill was brought in to level the ravine. This material has been tested and was found to be uncontaminated, and eligible for landfill disposal. It should be noted that the material is fill, and not natural material, however this action is noted at moderate or large to clearly identify that a significant volume of the fill will be removed – which is necessary for foundation, stormwater retention, piling, pipe and electrical conduits to be installed. 1(e) The proposed action may involve construction that continues for more than one year or in multiple phases. The project involves three construction phases slated for 2024-2025. Phase 1 is the construction of the pools, new bathhouse, filtration building, stormwater controls and associated equipment. Phase 2 are interior renovations to the existing bathhouse to ensure compliance with modern building codes and to ensure the building is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Cosmetic work (paint, door, window and floor repair) will also take place. The final phase is the construction of a new water line from Park Ave, approximately a 200ft run. This line will replace the aging line that connected the pool from MLK Blvd. and deemed to not to have the capacity. These phases will not have an adverse environmental impact and are contained wholly within the Park. No residential areas will be impacted by construction activity. 10(a), (b), and (e)(i) The proposed action may occur in or adjacent to a historic or archaeological resource. The Pool and Bathhouse are on the National Register of Historic Places and have been recognized as Historic Places by New York. Exhaustive documentation of the assets, as well as consultation by the New York State Historic Preservation office has occurred, and continues to occur. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has provided the City with a “non-affect” designation, as documented in agency communication that supplements this SEQRA determination. Given the above, and the fact that the site will be restored to a design and footprint similar to that which existed before, while generally maintaining the exterior of the historic bathhouse, no adverse environmental impacts have been identified with regard to FEAF question 10. Determination of Significance - Type 1 and Unlisted Actions SEQR Status: † ✔ Type 1 † Unlisted Identify portions of EAF completed for this Project: † ✔ Part 1 † ✔ Part 2 † ✔ Part 3 FEAF 2019 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF, as noted, plus this additional support information and considering both the magnitude and importance of each identified potential impact, it is the conclusion of the Common Council of the City of Albany as lead agency that: † ✔ A. This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued. † B. Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency: There will, therefore, be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and, therefore, this conditioned negative declaration is issued. A conditioned negative declaration may be used only for UNLISTED actions (see 6 NYCRR 617.7(d)). † C. This Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact statement must be prepared to further assess the impact(s) and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those impacts. Accordingly, this positive declaration is issued.

Engineering Report 1. Please provide downstream analysis of the sewer system with engineering calculations showing that the system can handle the additional flows from the proposed pool improvements during dry and wet weather. In accordance with BMP #9 of the City of Albany’s CSO SPDES Permit (NY0025747), the permittee must demonstrate the ability for the combined sewer system to convey, and the treatment plant to adequately treat, the dry weather flows. This should be demonstrated by modelling or an I/I reduction. Please explain how this requirement will be met. Per Albany Water Department Staff: The receiving sewer is the 108-inch diameter Beaver Creek trunk sewer. The hydraulic capacity is in excess of 400 MGD, and dry weather flow is less than 16 MGD. The impact of the Lincoln Park Pool is de minimis. The additional flow is de minimis in regard to the sanitary flow to the South Plant. The 2023 Average Daily Flow at the South Plant was 23.78 MGD. The permitted flow is 29 MGD. The Lincoln Park Pool project reduces I/I by 500,000 gallons per day over the old leaky pool. This is a large beneficial impact reducing flow to the South Plant during the summer pool season. 2. Please discuss how the pools and other water features (“facilities”) will be drained. How often will the facilities be drained throughout the season and for what purposes (seasonal closing, DOH requirements, etc.)? What are the expected peak flowrates when features are drained for these purposes? Where will the water be drained to? Demonstrate available capacity within the downstream infrastructure during dry and wet weather flows. It is expected significant draining would be coordinated to occur during dry weather so that flow do not contribute to combined sewer overflows. Pool facilities will be backwashed for approximately 5 minutes at a peak flow rate of 687 gpm. Pool facilities will not be fully drained as part of routine procedures, but may be drained periodically on an as-needed basis to allow for emergency/ routine maintenance & repair. Pool facilities will be drained or backwashed one at a time in all circumstances. As the owner & operator of the pool facility, the City of Albany will coordinate pool draining during off-peak hours during dry weather periods to mitigate impacts to the sewer system. westonandsampson.com Page 2 3. Provide the velocities in the proposed sanitary gravity sewers confirming that flowrates under various conditions are between 2 ft/s and 10 ft/s per design guidance in Sections 33.41 & 33.45 of the Recommended Standards for Wastewater Facilities, 2014 Edition (10-States Standards). The following pipe sizes/slopes for sanitary gravity sewers are proposed within the project area. In accordance with 10-States Standards, velocity was calculated in the full flow condition using Mannings Equation with a “n” value of 0.013. Pipe Material Pipe Size Pipe Slope Velocity PVC 4” 1.0% 2.18 ft/s PVC 6” 1.0% 2.86 ft/s PVC 8” 1.0% 3.46 ft/s PVC 12” 0.33% 2.61 ft/s PVC 15” 0.33% 3.02 ft/s 4. Are any concession services anticipated on the grounds of the facility? Will this affect sewage flows or volumes from the facility? No concession services are proposed at Lincoln Park Pool. Project Plans 1. Please submit an electronic copy of the complete plan set for this project. This should include drawings of the proposed pool filtering equipment as well as the chlorine storage shed and its proposed location. Latest plan set is attached to this comment response memo. 2. In accordance with BMP #9 of the City of Albany’s CSO SPDES Permit (NY0025747), separated sewer must be extended from the combined sewer. In review of the plans, pool perimeter drains are combined with uncontaminated stormwater drains in the extension area. Per NYSDOH Health Code, the pool perimeter trench drains collect runoff from the pool deck and surrounding landscape into a subsurface stormwater detention system. The overflow from this system extends to EX. CB1. 3. Submit profiles of the proposed sanitary sewer piping from SSMH4 to the connection to the trunk sewer line.

Soil Survey westonandsampson.com i ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Weston & Sampson has been retained by the City of Albany to design and prepare construction documents for improvements to the Lincoln Park Pool. Constructed in 1930, the Lincoln Park Pool is an important part of the City’s Park and Recreation system, and is on both the New York State and National Register of Historic Places. In 2017, Weston & Sampson completed an evaluation of the pool, which identified several major structural, mechanical, and design deficiencies within the pool complex. The result of the report was a recommendation for the pool to be replaced with a new facility designed to current standards. The new facility is proposed to include the following improvements: • Three waterbodies located within the historic pool footprint, including a zero-entry activity pool, a half-size Olympic lap pool, and a splash pad inclusive of a water slide feature. • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements to the existing historic bathhouse. • A new filter building to house the mechanical equipment and filtration systems for the new aquatic facilities. • A new supplementary bathhouse and lifeguard station facility located along the northern edge of the pool. • Amphitheater seating along the northern edge of the pool. • Drainage and utility improvements, including new water service, sanitary service, electrical service, stormwater management facilities, and associated improvements. • General landscaping and site improvements. As part of this design, Weston & Sampson has prepared this report to summarize the existing and proposed utility services within the pool complex, identify potential opportunities and constraints, and make recommendations for their improvement and facilitation.

The proposed design includes a zero-entry activity pool with spray features, a half-size Olympic lap pool, and a splash pad with spray features and a water slide, all of which will be located within a new pool deck in the same general shape and location as the existing basin. The project will include demolition and removal of the existing pool and filtration/ mechanical equipment, construction of a new filter building, accessibility improvements to the existing bathhouse, construction of a new supplemental bathhouse, drainage and utility improvements, and associated site and landscape improvements. 1.5 Historic & Cultural Resources Lincoln Park, the Lincoln Park Pool, and the Lincoln Park Pool Bathhouse are all listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places. The New York State Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP) have reviewed the proposed design improvements and issued a letter stating that any new design should be generally within the historic shape of the pool, with an understanding that any new facility would need to comply with the latest applicable code and safety requirements. To satisfy this requirement, the proposed improvements incorporate the new aquatic facilities within a pool deck that generally matches the historic shape of the pool. Additional requirements such as the installation of signage informing pool patrons about the pool’s history will also be included as part of this project. The design of the proposed buildings have been sent to NYSOPRHP for review and have been designed in accordance with the comments & requirements provided. westonandsampson.com 1-2 ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS The project area currently contains a single, 1.7-acre swimming pool, a chlorination shed, and a bathhouse with men’s and women’s restrooms, locker rooms, lifeguard break area, and filter equipment in the basement. The pool deck area is generally level, with steep slopes to the north, east, and west up to Lincoln Park Road. The project area is entirely enclosed by a chain link fence. Appendix A illustrates the existing project area. The swimming pool is currently in poor condition and was unable to open for operation during the 2023 season due to the ongoing degradation of the facility. The pool shell is composed of concrete which is chipped and flaking in multiple locations. The shell has developed many cracks over the past 90 years due to differential settlement beneath the structure, as the Lincoln Park Pool was constructed predominately over extensive urban fill. Approximately 500,000 gallons of water leaks from the pool body per day when fully operational during the months of use, which further saturates the soil before flowing into the Beaver Creek Trunk Line sewer below the park. In addition to the leaks, the current pool does not meet current Albany County Department of Health requirements for swimming pool construction, including recirculation, turnover rates, system pumps, pool inlets, disinfection systems, discharge systems, accessibility, and depth demarcation, among others. The Lincoln Park Pool is currently served by the utilities described in the following sections. 2.1 Water Service System Water for the pool is fed to the site by a 6” service main constructed in 1922 that enters the pool complex from the north across Lincoln Park Road. The line enters a meter pit on the east side of Lincoln Park Road and splits to an 8” feed to the pool and a 4” service to the bathhouse, both constructed in 1930. A fire hydrant is connected to the 4” service line near the northeast corner of the building. Appendix B illustrates the existing utility conditions. The existing bathhouse consists of men’s and women’s bathrooms/changing rooms, and a staff bathroom. A total of fifteen water closets, four urinals, nine sinks, and ten showers are located within the bathhouse. Approximately 704,472 gallons of water is consumed/wastewater generated per year from these fixtures. Section 3.1 describes the usage assumptions and existing fixture water consumption in more detail. In addition to water consumption for standard pool operation, approximately 500,000 gallons of water leaks from the pool body per day when fully operational during the months of use due to extensive cracking in and settlement of the pool shell. 2.2 Sanitary Sewer System Within Lincoln Park, the Beaver Creek Sewer Line (an approximately 8’ to 10’ circular brick sanitary sewer) extends from the west to the “Bowl” area of the park. The sewer runs beneath the southwestern portion of the project area. A diversion manhole is located within the pool deck at the northwest corner westonandsampson.com 2-1 ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT of the building, which connects to a 24” sewer pipe extending beneath the bathhouse and to a manhole located in the front driveway before continuing to a manhole located on the Beaver Creek Sewer, which ultimately carries waste to the Albany County Sewer Plant. The existing bathhouse sanitary system also connects to this system. Appendix B illustrates the existing utility conditions. 2.3 Storm Sewer System Currently, a series of storm sewer catch basins are located around the pool deck to collect runoff. Two catch basins are located on the east side of the bathhouse, with two additional structures located at the northeast corner of the project area where the front driveway intersects with Lincoln Park Road. These structures connect to a new stormwater drainage system beneath the “Bowl” to the southeast, and ultimately drain into the Beaver Creek Sewer. Appendix B illustrates the existing utility conditions. 2.3.1 Existing Soils According to the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey, the immediate area of Lincoln Park around the project area includes predominately Hudson Silt Loam (Soil Class C/D), Udorthents (Soil Class A), and Urban Land. The soils within the project area are entirely Hudson Silt Loam, 25 to 45% slopes (HuE). A copy of the Web Soil Survey can be found in Appendix C of this report. westonandsampson.com 2-2 ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT 3.0 PROPOSED CONDITIONS Within the existing ±4.51-Ac project area, the proposed improvements include the replacement of the existing single 1.7-Ac pool with three waterbodies: a 18,257 square foot zero-entry activity pool with spray features, a 6,543 square foot half-size Olympic lap pool, and a 6,289 square foot splash pad with spray features and water slide. The new aquatic facilities are designed to comply with the latest Albany County Department of Health code requirements and will be supported on a micropile system to account for the relative instability of the existing subgrade. Improvements also include accessibility upgrades to the existing historic bathhouse, construction of a new filter building to house the mechanical and treatment equipment for the new aquatic facilities, and a new bathhouse/ lifeguard station located along the northern edge of the pool deck. The existing water, drainage, and sanitary utilities will be removed or abandoned and replaced with new service lines to connect to and accommodate the new buildings and equipment, as described below. 3.1 Water Service System The existing 4”, 6”, and 8” water service lines extending from the park area to the north across Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the pool and bathhouse will be removed or abandoned and replaced with a new 8” service, tying into a recently installed water main north of the project area across Lincoln Park Road. The new 8” service main will continue down Lincoln Park Road along the southern edge of the project area before continuing northeast up the slope and tying back into an existing 24” water main on Park Avenue. A new water service connection with shutoff valve will branch off the main to serve the new filter building, new bathhouse facility and connect into the existing bathhouse. New water meters & backflow preventors will be installed inside each of the buildings at the new service connection point. New water hydrants will be provided at two locations around the project site. Below is a summary of the proposed pool volumes and flow rates. POOL FACILITY DATA Pool Facility Surface Area (SF) Pool Volume (GAL) System Turnover (HR) Recirc.

Approximately 4,869 gallons of water is anticipated to be lost per day due to evaporation, and approximately 4,054 gallons of water is anticipated to be lost per day due to water “carry out” from bathers. These factors average out to approximately 9,484 gallons of water consumption per day, which is substantially less than the approximately 500,000 gallons of water lost per day when fully operational due to leaking, resulting in a net decrease of water consumption for the water bodies. westonandsampson.com 3-1 ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT Below is a summary of the existing and proposed water fixtures for the bathhouses: LINCOLN PARK POOL ESTIMATED FIXTURE WATER CONSUMPTION/ WASTEWATER GENERATION EXISTING CONDITIONS PROPOSED CONDITIONS FIXTURE QTY GAL/YEAR GAL/DAY* FIXTURE QTY GAL/YEAR GAL/DAY* WATER CLOSET 15 129,347 1,540 WATER CLOSET 21 148,269 1,765 URINAL 4 34,493 411 URINAL 6 35,109 418 SINK 9 51,492 613 SINK 15 59,291 706 SHOWERS 10 489,140 5,823 SHOWERS 18 489,140 5,823 TOTAL 704,472 8,387 TOTAL 731,809 8,712 PRE- / POST- DIFFERENCE: 325 GAL/DAY* (27,337 GAL/YEAR) *GAL / DAY DURING 3 MONTH OPERATING PERIOD Assumptions: 12 Week Operating Period, 1 Shower per patron, 750 Total Flushes/Sink Uses • Existing Bathroom Fixtures are to Remain. New Bathroom Fixtures shall be provided in new bathhouse. • Water Closets: 27 Flushes per fixture per day. o Existing Toilets: 3.5 gpf; Proposed Toilet: 1.28 gpf • Urinals: 27 Flushes per fixture per day. o Existing Urinals: 3.5 gpf; Proposed Urinals: 0.125 gpf • Sinks: 750 uses per day @ 30 second Runtime o Existing Sinks: 2.2 gpm; Proposed Sinks: 0.5 gpm • Showers: 500 Showers per day @ 5 Minute Runtime Proposed pool and utility conditions are illustrated in Appendix B. 3.2 Sanitary Sewer System The existing 24” sanitary sewer line beneath the main bathhouse will remain in place and continue to serve the bathhouse facility. A new gravity sewer will be installed to serve the new bathhouse, running along the outside of the southwestern edge of the pool deck before connecting to a new sanitary manhole in the bituminous driveway of the new filter building. A new gravity sewer will be installed to serve the new filter building, connecting to the same manhole and extend to the existing sanitary structure in front of the existing bathhouse. Proposed utility conditions are illustrated in Appendix B. 3.3 Storm Sewer System The existing drainage catch basins on site will be entirely removed and reconstructed as a part of this project. New trench drains, inline drains, and catch basins will be installed within and around the pool deck to collect runoff from both the adjacent slopes and concrete deck areas in compliance with Albany County Department of Health regulations. Yard drains, underdrains, and footing drains will be installed behind retaining walls and around the proposed buildings, which will collect and direct stormwater into the new catch basins. These structures will connect to a new hydrodynamic separator and subsurface stormwater chamber system to treat runoff & mitigate flows from the proposed site in compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that has been prepared for this westonandsampson.com 3-2 ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT project. Calculations regarding the sizing and design of this system can be found in the SWPPP (under a separate cover). 3.4 Erosion & Sediment Control Measures Erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented during the construction process to mitigate impacts to the surrounding area and protect environmental resources located on and around the project site. Measures will be implemented in accordance with the latest New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) standards. Measures will at a minimum include stabilized construction entrances, drain inlet protection, silt fence, and tree protection. Additional protection measures may be required and implemented as warranted by project conditions. A full description of the proposed erosion & sediment control measures can be found in the SWPPP (under a separate cover). westonandsampson.com 3-3 ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT APPENDIX A Site Location Map & Aerial Photography westonandsampson.com westonandsampson.com ALBANY, NEW YORK LINCOLN PARK POOL UTILITY REPORT APPENDIX B Existing & Proposed Site Utility Plan westonandsampson.com Project: CITY OF ALBANY 4" SERVICE TO PARK HOUSE (CONSTR. ±1930) D LV .B JR G KIN 8" CONNECTION TO DR.

Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission. Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
