NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND CHANGES TO EXISTING LAW Common Council approval of the real property acquisition is required pursuant to Section 1493- f(4) of the Public Authorities Law of the State of New York. SPECIFICS OF REAL PROPERTY SALE OR ACQUISITION Capitalize Albany Corporation (“CAC”) owns real property located in the former roadbed of Spencer Street and Montgomery Street in Albany, New York (Tax Parcels #76.08-1-3 & 76.27-1- 25.1) (“Property”). The Albany Parking Authority (“APA”), a public authority whose mission is to provide convenient and affordable parking in support of economic development in the City of Albany, manages parking at the Quackenbush Garage and the adjacent lot owned by New York State Department of Transportation which is only accessible via CAC’s property. The asset to be transferred is an access easement located on a former public street bed known as Spencer Street and Montgomery Street, the disposition of which is required to access the planned entrance at the Quackenbush Garage and adjacent parking lot owned by the New York State Department of Transportation. The easement area totals approximately 10,718 sq. ft. A commercial appraisal was performed by Conti Appraisal for CAC which estimated the fair market value of the easement to be approximately $101,000 in September 2021, which will be paid to CAC by the APA in annual installments of approximately $7,500 per year over a 19-year term. CAC prepared a Short Environmental Assessment Form pursuant to the mandates of the State Environmental Quality Review Act to identify the relevant areas of environmental inquiry and has determined that the disposition of the property to the APA will not result in any large or important impact, and therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment. The acquisition of this easement by the APA will support the continued economic development occurring in/around the property, including the ability to increase access to public parking in support of such present/future economic development activities. FISCAL IMPACT(S) No fiscal impact to the City of Albany. The access easement acquisition shall come at the sole cost and expense of the Authority.

To: Danielle Gillespie, City Clerk From: Brett Williams, Esq., Sr. Assistant Corporation Counsel Re: Common Council Legislation Supporting Memorandum Date: October 4, 2021 Sponsor: Council Member Anane ORDINANCE 30.102.21 TITLE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 133-78.3 (VACANT BUILDING REGISTRATION) OF CHAPTER 133 (BUILDING CONSTRUCTION) OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF ALBANY IN RELATION TO REQUIRING OWNERS OF VACANT BUILDINGS TO POST CONTACT INFORMATION ON SUCH BUILDINGS GENERAL PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION The numerous vacant buildings all across Albany pose one of the greatest quality of life issues in the City. In an effort to combat this issue, the Common Council instituted the Vacant Building Registry in 2018, which requires owners of vacant properties to, among other things, submit and annually renew a registration form to the City containing identifying information for both the property and the owner. When the Common Council instituted the Vacant Building Registry, it declared that “vacant buildings, by nature of their vacancy, impose disproportionate costs on the neighborhoods in which they are located and on the City of Albany at large. The purpose of this [registry] is to provide City personnel with the knowledge they need to mitigate these costs and incentivize the owners of vacant buildings to rehabilitate and return them to occupancy.” See Code § 133-78.1. Such knowledge, albeit more limited in scope, can also be of benefit to the public at large, who may also wish to incentivize owners of neighboring vacant properties to maintain and rehabilitate them, or may even wish to reach out to owners of vacant properties to inquire about purchasing them. This law will require owners of vacant buildings to post contact information for the owner or his or her designee conspicuously on the exterior of the property in order to facilitate such interactions. NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND CHANGES TO EXISTING LAW This local law makes available to the general public up-to-date identifying information for owners of vacant properties, which information was previously only easily available to City officials. FISCAL IMPACT(S) None. Council Member Farrell, on behalf of the Committee on Finance, Assessment and Taxation, introduced the following: ORDINANCE 31.102.21 AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE BUDGET AS PRESENTED BY THE MAYOR ON OCTOBER 1, 2021, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 The City of Albany, in Common Council convened, does hereby ordain and enact: Section 1.

Council Member Anane introduced the following RESOLUTION NUMBER 80.102.21R A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ALBANY COMMON COUNCIL CALLING ON THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE AND NEW YORK STATE GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL TO PROVIDE THE CITY OF ALBANY WITH ITS FAIR SHARE OF UNRESTRICTED STATE AID AND TO MAKE PERMANENT $15 MILLION IN CAPITAL CITY FUNDING WHEREAS, Sixty-four percent of the property in the City of Albany – the Capital City of the State of New York – is tax-exempt, and nearly 60% of that property is owned by the State; and WHEREAS, thousands of State employees commute into the City of Albany from nearby municipalities daily, the City hosts tens of thousands of visitors coming to engage in business with State entities, and the City is called upon to assist in facilitating a number of rallies, marches and protests by outside interest groups visiting the New York State Capitol each year; and WHEREAS, the City of Albany receives less state aid as a percentage of its municipal general fund than every other large upstate city, with the exception of Schenectady; and WHEREAS, the City of Albany receives less Aid and Incentives for Municipalities (AIM) per capita than any other city with at least 48,000 residents, and that disparity only grows when the City of Albany’s daytime population is taken into account; and WHEREAS, the lack of adequate state aid results in significant strain on vital services that both residents and visitors of the City of Albany rely on every day; and WHEREAS, the cost of maintaining roads and sidewalks, providing police, fire and emergency services to State entities falls upon the tax-paying residents of our Capital City; and WHEREAS, the City of Albany is constantly striving to make financially prudent choices which can been seen in the fact that the City’s budget has only increased by a total of 0.48% over the last 5 years; and WHEREAS, Albany certainly has its fair share of challenges, evidenced by the fact that the City is home to more than 1,000 vacant buildings, a median household income of less than $44,000 and a poverty rate of almost 25%; and WHEREAS, these challenges, along with the inequity in state funding, puts the City in a precarious position, most of which is no result of the City’s own actions but rather the fact that the Capital City is forced to return to the Legislature and Governor year after year to ask for what is rightfully owed to those who call Albany home; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Albany hereby calls upon the New York State Legislature and Governor Kathy Hochul to pay the State’s fair share by including in the 2023 State Budget $15 million in Capital City Funding for the City of Albany; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Common Council of the City of Albany wishes to see this Capital City Funding be made permanent so Albany residents are relieved of their unfair and inequitable tax burdens while also allowing Albany the chance to continue to flourish and thrive as the Capital of the State of New York. To: Danielle Gillespie, City Clerk From: John-Raphael Pichardo, Esq., Research Counsel Re: Common Council Legislation Supporting Memorandum Date: October 7, 2021 Sponsor: Council Member Anane RESOLUTION NUMBER 80.102.21R TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ALBANY’S COMMON COUNCIL CALLING ON THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE AND NEW YORK STATE GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL TO PROVIDE THE CITY OF ALBANY WITH ITS FAIR SHARE OF UNRESTRICTED STATE AID AND MAKE PERMANENT $15 MILLION IN CAPITAL CITY FUNDING GENERAL PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION: To implore the New York State Legislature and Governor to make permanent $15 million in Capital City Funding for the City of Albany. NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND ANY CHANGE TO EXISTING LAW: This resolution seeks to make permanent $15 million in Capital City Funding from the State of New York. It is no secret that the City of Albany receives less state aid than almost all other upstate cities, which is coupled with the fact that roughly 64% of the City’s assessed property value is tax exempt due to state ownership. The City of Albany also must maintain roads and sidewalks, as well as provide services for public employees who commute into the city from nearby suburbs daily. Albany has remained committed to making financially prudent choices and has engaged in measures to ensure the City is making the most of every tax-payer dollar. However, the fact is, there is a structural deficit in AIM funding and having to wait on baited breathe to find out whether or not the funding will be included in the budget yearly makes long-term planning and investment extremely difficult. The added tax burden on residents is also an unfortunate side effect of the amount of tax-exempt property situated within City limits. Thus, the Common Council finds it necessary that the State pay its fair share and make permanent the $15 million in Capital City Funding. FISCAL IMPACT(S): If this funding is not provided by the State there will be large financial ramifications for the City of Albany.
