Kathy M. Sheehan, Mayor Rachel McEneny, Budget Director City of Albany 2017 Adopted Budget ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF ALBANY OFFICE OF THE MAYOR KATHY SHEEHAN MAYOR Dear Common Council Members and Residents of the City of Albany: Our City continues to build the bridge to a sustainable and fiscally responsible future. As a result of our commitment to sound financial management, my 2017 budget decreases spending and more pragmatically forecasts revenues to deliver a lean and balanced budget. My administration continues to focus on developing cost-saving measures through enhanced technology, attrition, shared services, and reasonable and achievable reductions to non- personnel services and supplies. These reductions in expenses are coupled with the advocacy of well-deserved relief from the State of New York. The preliminary feedback we received from a New York State-facilitated review of our City’s finances recognized the gap between what it costs to provide services for our residents and stakeholders, and the revenue currently available to pay for those services. Over the past three years, we have worked assiduously to bridge that gap. My 2015 and 2016 budgets grew at less than the 2% benchmark set by Governor Cuomo for his State budget. My 2017 budget includes a 2% decrease in expenditures from last year; the largest, and only the third, annual expenditure decrease in more than 15 years. Technology Investments Lead to Additional Efficiencies In 2016, the City implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which allows departments to more quickly and accurately access critical financial information. The new ERP system facilitates direct communication between departments and administrative services, and allows for real time, comprehensive monitoring of revenue and expenses. We also fully launched an electronic timekeeping system, replacing paper timesheets and inefficient payroll practices. This 2017 budget was built by our Budget Office in the new ERP system, and broadened the efficiencies and savings that were not attainable under the antiquated system. ---PAGE BREAK--- Reorganization of the Department of Administrative Services We continue to provide excellent services to our community while striving to increase efficiencies and use our limited resources wisely. This year’s budget includes a reorganization of central administration. Our City Charter includes the position of Commissioner of Administrative Services, but no such office has existed for many years. With our new investment in technology, it is time to create this office and reap the benefits of the internal efficiencies it will yield. The Department of Administrative Services will be responsible for overseeing the evaluation and evolution of City-wide processes, resulting in efficiencies, cost savings, and the ability to offer enhanced services. The department will assist me and all departments to create responsible operating and capital budgets, monitor City-wide expenditures and revenues, and establish and set more robust internal control systems. Decrease in Expenses A 2% spending decrease in the 2017 budget exemplifies my administration’s dedication to building the bridge to a fiscally sustainable City. Through aggressive and smart cost-savings and efficiencies, this rightsizing was accomplished using historical trend data, all while avoiding a reduction in existing personnel. Increased Tax Base I know property taxes are a primary concern to our residents and businesses. I have often repeated the mantra that the only way to address this issue is to reduce our expenses and grow our tax base. I’m pleased this budget reflects both of these principles. Our tax base has expanded, growing by 2.07%. We have also increased revenue through voluntary Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PILOTs). The expansion of our tax base allows us to increase our tax levy by $1.17 million, while also reducing our tax rate for both residents and businesses. Cost-Effective Department of General Services An efficient government does not mean a reduction in important City services. In anticipation of the closure of the landfill in 2021, the Department of General Services (DGS) is taking several steps to ensure we have a cost-effective, reliable option for waste collection and disposal into the future. In August 2016, the City launched a pilot automated recycling program for approximately 2,000 homes within the City. We anticipate this program will be expanded and show immediate and future efficiencies and savings in workers’ compensation costs. In 2017, the department will plan for a 2018 launch of a cart system waste collection program using an automated or semi-automated approach. I remain committed to minimizing the financial impact to our City and our residents of the pending closure of the landfill. ---PAGE BREAK--- Investment in Our Community/Commitment to Equity This budget is a demonstration of our continued dedication to the Youth and Workforce Services program, which during 2016 provided more than 1,000 young people, ages 14 through 18, with an introduction to the workforce, and helped them to identify career interests and attain positive work skills and habits. This innovative program won a U.S. Conference of Mayors 2016 City Livability Award. Another community investment is in the deeper engagement between our Police Department and our neighborhoods. Our nationally recognized Albany Police Department will continue to enrich their services to the residents and visitors of Albany with a new police academy and body-worn camera program. This budget also provides an investment in language access so that we can be more responsive to our growing, diverse population. Capital City Payment The City of Albany has requested $12.5 million in “Capital City Funding” be included in the New York State Budget for fiscal year 2017-2018. This request is different than the “Capital City Funding” realized last year, as the City continues to work with the State to acquire additional state funding, as opposed to a “spin up” of future state funding. As in years past, we continue to believe our case for this additional funding is distinctive, compelling, and indisputable. More than 63% of the value of all property in the City is exempt from taxation based on the 2016 assessment roll, with State-owned property totaling more than 60% of that value. Over the last three years, my administration has carried through on my inauguration pledge to serve the residents of Albany by ensuring responsive City government, improving our neighborhoods, implementing effective economic development initiatives, and fostering sound financial management. This budget is a direct reflection of that pledge at work. I look forward to working with the Common Council and the residents of the City of Albany to approve this budget, and to continue building the bridge toward a more efficient, secure, and self-sustaining financial future for the City of Albany. Sincerely, Kathy M.

Although the five-year capital plan is a plan only and is subject to changes as needed over the years, the capital budget is a one-year proposal that should be reviewed as part of the financial authorization for 2017. The 2017 capital program totals $16,194,207 of which $14,018,700 is expected to be borrowed and $2,175,507 will come from other funds such as the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPs) and federal and state grants. Included in this budget are monies for street and sidewalk reconstruction projects, building improvement projects, and various equipment and vehicle replacement items. FUND BALANCE It is estimated that the City will end the 2016 fiscal year with a minimal fund balance. There is no Fund Balance planned to be appropriated toward the 2017 budget. SALARY CHANGES To maintain consistency and readability, the 2017 budget contains format changes that will enable administration without diminishing appropriate controls over staffing and spending. All forms of compensation, including longevity pay, meal allowances, step increases, etc. are now included in the Personal Services category to more accurately account for all forms of compensation. Employee benefits is now limited to retirement, social security, health insurance and other non-compensation benefits. The amounts budgeted for salaries are now single, aggregate numbers for each department. These aggregate totals do not represent the sum of full annual salaries for each authorized position in the department. The totals have been reduced by continued and future anticipated savings from the implementation of the new Time & Attendance system and ERP system. ---PAGE BREAK--- 12 Principal (Landfill) Interest (Landfill) Total 2017 15,094,579 4,870,000 2,249,991 556,750 17,344,570 2018 15,360,000 4,955,000 1,646,290 431,150 17,006,290 2019 12,370,000 5,055,000 1,169,832 295,500 13,539,832 2020 12,715,000 5,215,000 815,301 156,175 13,530,301 2021 6,545,000 395,000 455,169 11,950 7,000,169 2022 3,905,000 400,000 255,168 4,000 4,160,168 2023 3,700,000 155,250 3,855,250 2024 1,500,000 61,050 1,561,050 2025 1,535,000 24,350 1,559,350 Bonds $72,724,579 $6,832,400 $79,556,979 BAN Paydown 2016 3,717,548 868,506 4,586,054 2017 est. 3,258,700 776,936 4,035,636 RANs est. 10,000,000 25,000 10,025,000 Totals $89,700,827 $8,502,842 $98,203,669 Source: Treasurer's Office Schedule of Principal and Interest Payments Serial Bond Indebtedness as of January 2017 ---PAGE BREAK--- 13 Operating Budget Revenue ---PAGE BREAK--- 14 Account Description 2015 Actuals 2016 Budget 2017 Budget Real Property Taxes 1001 Real Property Taxes 56,706,034 56,827,890 58,000,000 1001.01 Allowance for Tax Certs. -

The Mayor appoints the heads of departments, as well as members of various commissions, committees, and boards needed to administer the City’s affairs. The office is responsible for the overall management of City government, its personnel, services, and pro- grams. 2016 Accomplishments  Improved internal and external communications to ensure that the Mayor’s office and City Departments are effi- ciently accomplishing initiatives and projects while providing responsive and timely customer service to constitu- ents.  Strengthened community engagement and outreach through “City Hall on the Road,” City of Albany e- newsletter, numerous public meetings to solicit input on City projects and initiatives, and Mayor Sheehan’s “Talk of the Town” radio show.  Expanded use of SeeClickFix (a Citizen Relationship Management Software), to improve responsiveness and provide timely updates to all citizens and stakeholders.  Enhanced productivity through the development of policies and procedures to streamline City operations including implementation of an inter-departmental project management system. 2017 Goals  Continue to ensure that constituent needs are met and that departments respond to resident concerns in a timely manner.  Continue to deliver prompt and comprehensive communications and outreach to members of the public regarding City policies and programs.  Continue to evaluate and develop policies to make city operations more efficient and provide a customer-service oriented atmosphere throughout City Departments. Common Council The Common Council, the elected legislative body of the City, consists of 15 Council Members and a President. Estab- lished by the Dongan Charter on July 22, 1686, Albany’s Common Council convenes on the first and third Monday of every month to review and act on legislation and resolutions for the government of the City and the management of its business. The Council also holds public hearings to obtain citizens’ views and opinions on certain pieces of legislation. Treasurer The Treasurer is charged with collection, receipt, care, and custody of all taxes and other monies due the City, except as otherwise provided by law. The Treasurer is responsible for payment of all vouchers, claims, payroll and other au- thorized disbursements and is the City’s Chief Fiscal Officer. The Treasurer is responsible for investing City funds, main- taining records of all transactions and providing data to the public as requested. In addition, the Parking Violations Bu- reau, as part of the Treasurer’s Office, collects fines imposed by the Albany Police Department on illegally parked vehi- cles. ---PAGE BREAK--- 24 2016 Accomplishments  The Treasurer implemented a new property tax billing software which dramatically streamlined operations. After initiating the Food for Fines amnesty Program in 2015, $300,000 in revenue was generated and the City collected outstanding parking tickets going back to 2010. This Program is expected to generate up to $1 million in revenue that was previously uncollected.  The City also issued new and refinanced bonds that saved taxpayers $420,000 in 2016, and $750,000 in 2015. Tak- ing advantage of falling interest rates, the City bond issue for 2016 resulted in a savings of $1 million, or 50%, less in interest than original estimates.  The ERP system that will soon be available for use is the first change in City accounting software in 18 years. Our main focus for 2016 and 2017 is to ensure the proper implementation of these software systems to improve City services and to more efficiently run City government. 2017 Goal  Every year, the Treasurer aims to manage the City’s finances prudently and responsibly, to secure the best return on its investments, and to provide the excellence in customer service that Albany taxpayers deserve. Office of Audit and Control The Office of Audit and Control is charged by the City Charter with auditing every payment the City makes. It also has performance audit authority over every City office and is required to audit the City’s investments.

The department is also responsible for administrative programs (including the State Environmental Quality Review Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program) and currently manages over $2 million in Federal, State and private grants dedicated to innovative and transformational projects. The Department of Planning and Community Develop- ment works with the community on long-range neighborhood planning, revitalization, and stabilization, as well as a multitude of other initiatives to regulate land use and historic conservation, encourage sustainability and economic op- portunity, and to promote bicycle and pedestrian safety connections. Services administered by the Board of Zoning Appeals, Planning Board, and Historic Resources Commission play an in- dispensable role in City operations. Through site plan review and the interdepartmental technical review committee, land use planning staff coordinate input from multiple local, state, and federal agencies to ensure that current and fu- ture development is consistent with City laws and the vision in the “Albany 2030”, the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The Albany Community Development Agency (ACDA) is the coordinator for all housing activities in the City and works closely with independent agencies including Albany Housing Authority and Habitat for Humanity. Together, these or- ganizations revitalize neighborhoods by combating unsanitary and deteriorated conditions through conservation, re- construction, and redevelopment planning. One mission of the ACDA is to strengthen and stabilize Albany neighbor- hoods by increasing the rate of homeownership. ACDA employs a centralized, "one-stop" facility for residents interest- ed in buying and maintaining a home in the City. Planning Board The five members of the Planning Board, which has the power to approve subdivisions of property, meet to review site plans for landscaping, parking and drainage before large-scale projects are constructed. Division Of Planning The Division of Planning is responsible for the administration and procedural requirements of the development approv- al process. In this capacity, the Division oversees all planning and sustainability activities for the City of Albany, includ- ing the Office of Energy and Sustainability. Planning staff handles land use issues with the Planning Board, Board of Zon- ing Appeals, and Historic Resources Commission, in addition to neighborhood and long-range planning. The Office of Energy and Sustainability focuses on greenhouse gas emissions, energy management, sustainable transportation, cli- mate mitigation, adaption planning and implementation. The Office of Energy and Sustainability oversees the City of Albany Sustainability Advisory Committee. 2016 Accomplishments  All of the departments that fall under the Division of Planning and those that work closely with the Division, are now operating out of the newly renovated space, the One Stop Shop at 200 Henry Johnson Boulevard. This new location allows the Department of Buildings and Regulatory Compliance, the Department of Planning and Develop- ment, and the Albany Community Development Agency to provide a more streamlined and integrated process for residents, business owners, and developers. Project review times have greatly decreased because these depart- ments were previously spread across the City in three separate locations.  During 2015 & 2016, the Department of Planning and Development completed three in-depth studies and public workshops for Form-Based codes in the following areas: the Warehouse District-Manning Square area of Central Avenue; the South End; and the Mid-City Education District. All of these public design workshops will help provide guidance for future development in those areas, consistent with the goals of the community, and they will be inte- grated into the City’s new Unified Sustainable Development Ordinance ---PAGE BREAK--- 46  By the close of 2016, it is anticipated that the ReZone Albany initiative will be complete and that the new Unified Sustainable Development Ordinance will be adopted. This overhaul to the City’s antiquated zoning code will consol- idate the many disparate land use regulations found throughout the City code, and serve to streamline the devel- opment process—making it more predictable, sensitive to the existing community fabric, and in line with “Albany 2030” the City’s Comprehensive Plan.  Working with our consultants and community leaders the Department of Planning and Development will be com- pleting a major study by the end of 2016 of the West Hill and West End neighborhoods. The result of the West Hill/ West End Neighborhood Revitalization Plan will be a blueprint for revitalizing the neighborhoods, with clear goals, objectives, strategies, and actionable projects. 2017 Goals  The Department of Planning will begin to fully implement and utilize Albany’s new zoning Code. This new Unified Sustainable Development Ordinance (USDO) is the result of a two year initiative (ReZone Albany) to overhaul and modernize the City’s Land Use Regulations—making them more reflective of the existing fabric and building condi- tions, as well as in alignment with the community goals as expressed in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, “Albany 2030.”  The Department will be undertaking a comprehensive study on land uses, ownership, and redevelopment potential along and under Interstate 787. The goal of this study is to find ways to activate the space under Interstate 787, provide better connections to the waterfront, and look at the potential of uses that would provide a more active presence along the waterfront and under Interstate 787—ultimately improving connectivity that are safe and attractive.  Begin implementation of many of the approved strategies from the West Hill/West End Neighborhood Revitaliza- tion Plan. The Department will continue its efforts finding funding sources, connecting residents to jobs, providing infrastructure improvements, and creating incentives for investment in the area. Office Of Housing & Community Development The Albany Community Development Agency is responsible for administering and distributing community development funds received annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), New York State Afforda- ble Housing grants, the City of Albany, and other resources. The office also plays an active role in consolidated planning for the utilization of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and coordinates all housing activities in the City so that independent agencies such as the Albany Housing Authority and others work toward the same goals and objectives. Since 2015, all community development funds are collected and dispersed through the City’s General Fund. 2016 Accomplishments  Diversified funding sources and agency programs; the department has been awarded a grant from HUD for lead abatement and has another application into DHCR for additional homeowner rehabilitation programs.  Increase agency productivity by utilizing staff talents and abilities in a way that creates a competency based office model to be completed by January with a new budget and title changes.  Increased visibility of ACDA by having staff present at more City events providing information about programs. 2017 Goals  To continue to identify additional funding opportunities.  To broaden the capacity of ACDA to provide more community-based programming . ---PAGE BREAK--- 47 2017 Adopted Dept. 6420 - PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Rate Budget 10 PERSONAL SERVICES INDIVIDUAL 7100 Commissioner of Planning & Community Development 90,000 1 Category Totals: 1 2016 2016 2017 2015 Adopted Amended Adopted Actuals Budget Budget Budget 10 PERSONAL SERVICES 7100 Executive - 90,000 90,000 90,000 Category Totals: - 90,000 90,000 90,000 80 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 7801 Social Security - 6,885 6,885 6,885 7802 Retirement 8,089 17,768 17,768 10,000 7804 Health Insurance - 13,589 13,589 14,065 Category Totals: 8,089 38,242 38,242 30,950 Department Totals: 8,089 128,242 128,242 120,950 DEPT. 6420 - DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ---PAGE BREAK--- 48 2017 Adopted Dept. 8020 - DIVISION OF PLANNING Rate Budget 10 PERSONAL SERVICES INDIVIDUAL 7100 Planning Director 80,271 1 7100 Deputy Planning Director 65,000 1 7120 Principal Planner 58,066 1 7120 Senior Planner 52,042 2 7120 Mapping Technologist 58,000 1 7120 Planner 45,000 1 7150 Confidential Secretary 40,000 1 Category Totals: 8 2016 2016 2017 2015 Adopted Amended Adopted Actuals Budget Budget Budget 10 PERSONAL SERVICES 7100 Executive 80,271 80,271 80,271 145,271 7120 Professional/Technical 186,105 317,089 317,089 265,150 7150 Clerical 28,540 40,000 40,000 40,000 7175 ERP Savings - (7,946) (7,946) (7,946) Category Totals: 294,916 429,414 429,414 442,475 40 CONTRACTUAL EXPENDITURES 7410 Supplies & Materials 3,980 6,000 7,917 6,000 7440 Contracted Services 64,162 153,500 237,077 153,500 7442 Training 566 4,500 4,500 4,500 7450 Fees & Services 7,375 8,000 8,000 8,000 Category Totals: 76,083 172,000 257,494 172,000 80 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 7801 Social Security 22,451 32,850 32,850 33,458 7804 Health Insurance 54,623 47,065 47,065 48,712 Category Totals: 77,074 79,915 79,915 82,170 Department Totals: 448,073 681,329 766,823 696,645 DIVISION OF PLANNING REVENUES Description 2015 Actuals 2016 Budget 2017 Budget Zoning Fees 15,600 35,000 20,000 Planning Board Fees 12,165 35,000 40,000 Total Revenue 27,765 70,000 60,000 Dept. 8020 - DIVISION OF PLANNING ---PAGE BREAK--- 49 2017 Adopted Dept. 6410 - HOUSING & COM.

The 2016 Budget allocation continues a decade long trend of the Law Department stabilizing expenses.  The Corporation Counsel Office has built upon relationships with other municipalities and agencies to maintain effective partnerships. Significant local issues such as the Normans Kill River flooding and the Vacant Building Zom- bie Legislation have provided the backdrop for cooperative efforts between the City of Albany and other local and state municipalities. The creation of the ADA Advisory Committee by the Law Department, in conjunction with AC- DA, and its partnership with the Northeast ADA Center further exemplifies our commitment to ADA compliance outreach to solidify relationships with outside agencies. 2017 Goals  Continue to provide professional cost effective quality legal service to the City of Albany.  Incorporate greater use of technology to track all aspects of the office including: litigation, tax, codes, and con- tracts.  Enhance the legal abilities of the attorneys in the office through career development opportunities and training with the New York Conference of Mayors, Albany Law School’s Government Law Center, and other organizations. ---PAGE BREAK--- 52 2017 Adopted Dept. 1420 - LAW DEPARTMENT Rate Budget 10 PERSONAL SERVICES INDIVIDUAL 7100 Corporation Counsel 103,213 1 7110 Deputy Corporation Counsel 82,000 1 7120 Senior Assistant Corporation Counsel 73,000 2 7120 1st Assistant Corporation Counsel 70,000 1 7120 2nd Assistant Corporation Counsel 65,000 1 7120 Assistant Corporation Counsel 60,000 2 7150 Confidential Legal Secretary 42,500 1 7150 Confidential Secretary 36,000 1 7150 Paralegal 36,000 1 7150 Confidential Secretary 35,000 1 Category Totals: 12 2016 2016 2017 2015 Adopted Amended Adopted Actuals Budget Budget Budget 10 PERSONAL SERVICES 7100 Executive 103,213 103,213 103,213 103,213 7110 Supervisory 79,952 80,000 80,000 82,000 7120 Professional/Technical 386,632 477,974 477,974 401,000 7150 Clerical 74,814 80,232 80,232 149,500 7175 ERP Savings - (14,378) (14,378) (14,378) Category Totals: 644,611 727,041 727,041 721,335 20 EQUIPMENT 7223 PEG Equipment 7,922 217,000 217,000 217,000 7250 Other Equipment 181 3,000 3,000 3,000 Category Totals: 8,104 220,000 220,000 220,000 40 CONTRACTUAL EXPENDITURES 7410 Supplies & Materials 2,338 2,500 2,500 2,500 7436 Expense of Litigation 360,529 350,000 350,000 375,000 7440 Contracted Services 49,451 50,000 71,500 50,000 7450 Fees & Services 18,686 17,000 17,000 20,000 7460 Miscellaneous 1,164 1,200 1,200 2,200 Category Totals: 432,168 420,700 442,200 449,700 80 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 7801 Social Security 47,881 55,619 55,619 56,282 7804 Health Insurance 91,037 111,213 111,213 115,105 Category Totals: 138,919 166,832 166,832 171,387 Department Totals: 1,223,802 1,534,573 1,556,073 1,562,422 DEPT. 1420 - LAW DEPARTMENT ---PAGE BREAK--- 53 LAW DEPARTMENT REVENUES Description 2015 Actuals 2016 Budget 2017 Budget Law Dept.-Collections - 100,000 100,000 Sales of Real Property - 10,000 10,000 PEG Access Funds 11,678 217,000 217,000 Reimburse.-Legal Services 42,000 42,000 42,000 Total Revenue 53,678 369,000 369,000 ---PAGE BREAK--- 54 ---PAGE BREAK--- 55 City Clerk The City Clerk serves as the Clerk to the Albany Common Council.

Work units include Engineering, Central Maintenance, Central Garage, Maintenance of Streets, Snow Removal, Waste Collection and Recycling, Waste Disposal (landfill), Street Cleaning, and Parks Maintenance. 2016 Accomplishments  In July of 2016 DGS announced an automated recycling pilot program. DGS is focused on efficiencies and more sus- tainable ways of operating while maintaining services, and concluded that the automated recycling pilot program has yielded many such benefits. Larger carts provide more room for residents to put out additional recyclables curbside, helping to keep recyclables out of landfills and reducing the likelihood of items spilling out onto streets and sidewalks. By streamlining the recycling process and shortening routes, the Program may also reduce overtime and fuel costs incurred by the City. Having recyclables collected via truck with mechanical arm also makes the pro- cess safer for workers and will lead to a reduction of workers compensation claims.  A new fleet maintenance data collection system was established and collects data on preventative maintenance, service, and repairs on all DGS and Recreation vehicles. 2017 Goals  Create a new fleet replacement plan.  Successfully complete the automated recycling pilot program.  Conduct a feasibility analysis of using an automated garbage collection program.  Complete City-wide waste collection strategy evaluation.  Conduct analysis of lifecycle costs of fixed assets. Initiatives In the next Fiscal Year, DGS will work diligently to modernize the City’s waste collection and recycling techniques. Three initiatives will be the focal point of this work:  In conjunction with the Solid Waste Working Group, create an overall strategy for waste collection, recycling, land- fill replacement and the financing of these activities in order to provide context for all other initiatives.  Evaluate the “automated recycling” pilot program, and determine the best course of action to scale up the lessons from the recycling pilot.  Determine the practicality of a piloting automated garbage collection . Central Garage This unit of General Services is charged with managing the repair and maintenance of over 350 DGS and Recreation Department vehicles and heavy equipment. ---PAGE BREAK--- 62 Maintenance Of Streets This unit within the Department of General Services is responsible for the reconstruction, repaving, and maintenance of over 600 lane miles of City streets and related sidewalks and curbs. In addition, DGS enforces several City codes relating to trash, debris, lot cleanups, snow and ice removal, street opening permits, and news rack registration. The graffiti re- moval crew responds to and cleans over 2,000 graffiti locations each year. This Unit is also responsible for more than 670 City streets, which are swept weekly by specialized street cleaning equipment, hand crews, and sidewalk litter vac- uums. Snow & Ice Removal DGS is responsible for the timely and efficient removal of snow and ice from City streets and public places following winter weather events. Approximately 100 City vehicles and private contractors managed by DGS are employed for these purposes. Waste Collection & Recycling This Department provides weekly waste and recyclable collection from over 32,000 households in the City. We manage one of the region’s largest recycling programs in the state with a 50 percent diversion rate. The recycling program in- cludes operations of the compost facility (collection and sale) and collection of yard waste, hazardous waste, tires, white goods, scrap metal, and single stream recycling. Solid Waste Management (Landfill Operations) The Unit operates the Rapp Road Landfill, which collects a total of 250,000 tons annually.

The Albany Fire Department (AFD) is the primary provider for Emergency Medical Services within the City of Albany. This is a two-tiered response system with Basic Life Support provided by eight Engine companies, four Ladder compa- nies and a Heavy Rescue Company. The Advanced Life Support is provided by three Paramedic Rescue Companies and one Paramedic Engine Company. The Albany Fire Department is considered an “All Hazards” response department. In addition to fire suppression, AFD members also respond to confined space emergencies, and hazardous materials spills or leaks. Firefighters also re- spond to calls on the Hudson River with our 36 foot fire boat. This boat has responded to several emergencies during 2016 and participated in many drills along the river. Firefighters have also been training steadily on crude oil emergencies in the Port of Albany and on rail and roadways throughout the City. 2016 Accomplishments:  The Department delivered three “POD” burn simulations for incoming freshmen at the UAlbany and Albany College of Pharmacy campuses. These demonstrations were instrumental in showing new students the dangers of fire in their dormitory. One of the POD burn demonstrations was at the Pine Hills “Meet, Munch and More” event. This is possibly the only neighborhood POD burn in the State of New York.  AFD performed drills in the Port with Global Oil’s new 4,000 GPM foam nozzle. This piece of equipment was pur- chased by Global and will be instrumental extinguishing a fire in a large tank in their facility.  Promoted the AFD’s first female Deputy Chief.  Made an agreement with Albany Medical Center for the replacement of all medications used by our Rescue Units. This will enhance delivery of medical services to the citizens of Albany. This program will reduce costs and eliminate shortages in the field.  AFD & the City of Troy received a Shared Grant for “Collapse Rescue” equipment. This grant freed up funding to purchase shoring lumber and various tools, together these materials can be used whenever a structure or excava- tion which might suddenly collapse.  Trained our new recruits along with new members of the Troy and Watervliet Fire Departments. Which enabled us to spread the costs over the three municipalities. 2017 Goals  Arrive on the scene of a critical emergency within three minutes of the time of dispatch.  Ensure that all of its members return home uninjured and healthy from their tour of duty.  Develop and improve training programs to safely and effectively support the mission of the AFD.  Employ and retain a professional and diverse workforce that represents, responds to, and meets the current and future needs of the citizens of Albany.  Mitigate the property loss due to fire or other natural disaster with-in the City limits.  Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations at a reduced cost to the City residents.  Operate within the budget allocated to the Department.  Develop new methods of bringing in needed revenues to support AFD operations. ---PAGE BREAK--- 82 2017 Adopted Dept. 3410 - DEPT.

To address the engineering and project management needed to implement the LTCP, develop an asset management program for the water and sewer infrastructure, and address the necessary planning and engineering associated with flood migration, the Department has developed an organization and staffing plan that will provide the necessary professional and technical skills and experience to meet the challenges that we presently face and that lie ahead. In the 2016 budget, the Department continues to build capacity to address increasing emphasis on preventive maintenance; to meet the City’s responsibilities outlined in the LTCP; tasks outlined in the Consent Order with the NYSDEC, and planning design upgrades to the water and sewer systems. Strategically, the Department is positioning to do more professional and technical planning and design work internally. Currently, both the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are licensed NYS Professional Engineers. Water Administration The Unit is responsible for the leadership, management and operation of the Water, Sewer and Storm water Systems for the City of Albany. The Unit formulates policy, provides water and sewer system planning and engineering services, and provides daily operational oversight of all Department activities. This Unit also provides administrative and support staff for billing, finance, meter reading and customer service. Sewer Maintenance & Pumping Stations The unit is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the sewer collection system and storm drainage system, consisting of over 900 miles of sanitary, storm and combined sewers, and more than 8,000 manholes and catch basins. Approximately 31,000 service laterals are connected to the system. All wastewater is conveyed to the Albany County Sewer District for treatment and discharge to the Hudson River. The Pumping Station Unit is responsible for the opera- tion and maintenance of 26 wastewater pumping stations. ---PAGE BREAK--- 124 Source of Supply, Power and Pumping This Unit is responsible for the operation and maintenance of Albany’s water supply reservoirs, and over 43,965 feet of 48-inch conduits that carry raw water from the Alcove Reservoir to the Feura Bush Filtration Plant, and 58,375 feet of 48-inch conduits, that supply treated water from the Filter Plant to the transmission/distribution system and to the Loudonville Reservoir storage basins. The source of supply for the Albany Water System consists of two surface water supply reservoirs: the Alcove and Basic Creek Reservoirs are each situated in the Helderberg Mountains, approximately 20 miles southwest of the City. The Alcove is the primary supply reservoir and contains up to 13.5 billion gallons of wa- ter with a surface area of 1,436 acres (2.24 square miles), and is located in the Town of Coeymans. The Basic Creek Res- ervoir normally contains 716 million gallons of water with a surface area of 265 acres (0.414 square miles), and is locat- ed in the Town of Westerlo. This Unit provides security, inspections and water shed management to protect the water supply sources from contamination. Purification This Unit is responsible for the operation and maintenance of The Feura Bush Water Filtration Plant, the Loudonville Reservoir system which stores approximately 212 million gallons of treated water, and the Pine Bush water pumping station, including the Pine Bush Water Storage Tank. The Water Filtration Plant is located in the Town of Bethlehem, with a design capacity of 32 million gallons of per day (MGD). The plant was constructed and placed into operation in 1932, and received a significant upgrade in 1991. We are currently in the midst of a roof replacement and concrete/ masonry restoration project that will be completed in late 2015. The plant is currently producing an annual average of approximately 20 MGD. The plant includes a New York State certified laboratory co-located that tests chemical and bacteriological parameters in accordance with parameters established by NYS Department of Health, and provides ana- lytical information to assist the operators in providing the best possible water quality to customers. Transmission and Distribution The Unit is responsible for the operation and maintenance, repairs and reconstruction associated with approximately 376 miles of pipes ranging from 4-inches to 48-inches in diameter, over 3,000 hydrants and 8,700 valves, and perform surface restoration associated with repair activity. The distribution system is the oldest part of the water system, with mains constructed as early as 1851 still in use. Approximately 27 percent of the distribution system was placed in ser- vice prior to 1900. Water and Sewer Capital Expenditures Funds in this account are targeted for studies, design and construction of infrastructure improvements to the City’s wa- ter and sewer systems. Projects are identified and endorsed by the Albany Water Board and Albany Municipal Finance Authority. Sewer Costs Funds in this account are for the Contract with the Albany County Sewer District for Treatment and Interceptor sewers. ---PAGE BREAK--- 125 2016 Accomplishments  Safety – The Department hired a Safety Coordinator and published a Safety Plan and a Confined Space Entry Pro- gram. The Department has implemented formal safety training on all of our job safety hazard assessments and maintains a safety training matrix to document and track all safety training.  Reduce Unaccounted for Water – The Department instituted a critical number key performance indicator (blocks tested, linear feet water main tested) for leak detection in 2016.  Compliance with Consent Order & Long Term Control Plan – The Department has met all milestone dates associat- ed with the Consent Order to abate Combined Sewer Overflows; notably, the Department has identified the design concept associated with the Preliminary Design Report for the Big Control facility.  Sustainability – The Department is entering into an agreement with The Nature Conservancy to promote sustaina- ble timber management practices on our Alcove Reservoir watershed property, including revenue generation from the carbon exchange market. The Department also continued the use of goats to assist in grounds maintenance at the Loudonville Reservoir.  Asset Management – The Department continued implementation of an Asset Management program for water and sewer infrastructure that includes digital and GIS attribute mapping; risk assessment and prioritized scheduling of capital projects.  Preventive Maintenance – The Department instituted a critical number key performance indicator (linear feet of sewer cleaned) for sewer system preventive maintenance in 2016.  Conduct Flood Assessment, establish Strategies for Flood Mitigation and Construct Flood Abatement Projects – after the August 2014 major storm event, the Department met with Community groups and established 2015-2016 priority projects for flood mitigation. In 2016, the Department completed the Quail Street Green Infrastructure Pro- ject and by year’s end will have completed construction for flood mitigation projects for the neighborhood as well as awarded a construction contract for flood mitigation and new drainage for Elberon Place. The Department is continuing to conduct additional flood assessment activities to identify the next phase of design development for flood mitigation projects.  Capital Improvements – In 2016, The Department will also have completed the North Swan Street Green Infrastruc- ture Project and will have completed the lining for 4,474 feet of sewers. The Department incorporated capital im- provements with emergency repairs to the Beaver Creek Trunk Sewer that included lining of 100 feet of 72-inch diameter circular pipe and 700 feet of 60-inch diameter circular brick pipe.

Budget Investment in elements of the LTCP will reduce the frequency of our sewer backups and assist our flood mitigation efforts that are the source of financial claims against the City. These investments will also improve “quality of life” issues for our residents.  Increase Preventive Maintenance on Water and Sewer Infrastructure.  Budget Objective – As an outgrowth of our asset management program, we will invest in additional staff and equip- ment to increase preventive maintenance of our water and sewer infrastructure. The emphasis on preventive maintenance will help us identify and assign priorities for repairs and/or phased replacement based both on the risk of failure and the consequences of a failure of the asset. The objective will be more accurate forecasting of fu- ture repair and replacement budget expenses, and a reduction in emergency repairs.  Complete Citywide Flood Risk Assessment, and identify Flood Mitigation Projects. ---PAGE BREAK--- 127  Budget Objective – Select Flood Mitigation projects that will have the greatest benefit based on FEMA flood risk assessment models. This will result in a reduction in claims against the City, a reduction in out of pocket costs for residents that have been impacted by flooding, and will promote new private financial investment in neighbor- hoods that have had a history of flooding.  Implement New ERP/Utility Billing/Time and Attendance Software.  Budget Objective – implementation of the new Business Management software is intended to promote efficiency and allow a digital platform for the Department to process electronic transaction for water/sewer bills and pay- ments.  The Department plans to increase communication with the public regarding service disruptions caused by water main breaks or other emergencies via social media.  Incorporate Sustainability in Watershed Management.  Budget Objective - The Department plans to enter into an agreement with the Nature Conservancy to promote sus- tainable timber management within our Alcove Watershed. This will also provide an opportunity for revenue by engaging in the carbon market and timber sales certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.  The Department is planning to present an on-line bill payment program in 2017.  Budget Objective – On-line bill payment will contribute to improved timely payments of accounts receivable. ---PAGE BREAK--- 128 ---PAGE BREAK--- 129 Revenues: Contract with Albany Water Board and Albany Water Finance Authority 34,367,827 Expenditures: Sewer Costs 6,578,505 Transmission & Distribution 6,767,806 Special Items 5,185,523 Purification 3,354,765 Sewer Maintenance 3,249,255 Water/Sewer Capital Exp. 3,000,000 Undistributed Employee Benefits 2,105,018 Source of Supply, Power, & Pumping 1,363,559 Administration 2,092,807 Pumping Stations 670,589 Total Expenditures 34,367,827 City of Albany Waste & Wastewater Services Fiscal Year 2017 ---PAGE BREAK--- 130 2016 2016 2017 2015 Adopted Amended Adopted Actuals Budget Budget Budget Dept.1900 - SPECIAL ITEMS 40 - CONTRACTUAL EXPENDITURES 7431 Unallocated Insurance 114,168 136,159 136,159 149,775 7432 Judgments and Claims - 25,750 25,750 26,523 7433 Taxes & Assess.
