They will also grant those in need, registration fee's to join Schenectady/ JC Little League. SOTBC is not a certified NFP, so this account is needed to get this program up and running. Evaluation/Analysis Recommendation Friday, May 31, 2019  SCHENECTADY CITY COUNCIL Legislative Request Form Committee: Finance Committee Date: Monday, June 03, 2019 From: Chuck Thorne Subject Amend 2019 budget to replace vacant position in Clerk's Office Background Info: Shirley Park will retire on June 15, 2019. The retirement was not anticipated, so as a consequence the buyout was not budgeted. Evaluation/Analysis We are asking that the Clerk's Office salary budget line be increased by approximatly $9,700 and the position be upgraded to an IPS3. Recommendation Friday, May 31, 2019  CITY OF SCHENECTADY LEGISLATIVE REQUEST FORM COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT: DATE: May 20, 2019 TO: City Council FROM: Gary McCarthy, Mayor SUBJECT: Amend the Budget to include the position "Neighborhood Stabilization Coordinator” under the Department of Development. Yearly salary for the position will be $60,000. Background Information: The city of Schenectady successfully applied for grant funding under the Zombie 2.0 program from LISC. The grant which totals $275,000 will be used to restructure our approach to better address blight, primarily in the form of vacants and zombie properties. The Neighborhood Stabilization Coordinator will serve as the point person to oversee all program functions under the supervision of the Director of Development. This position is ideal to create an efficient, data driven approach to handle these efforts and revitalize once vacant and blighted properties. There are approximately 900 vacant properties throughout the city. Many issues highlighted in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan (adopted 2008) related to blight and vacant/abandoned properties remain today. A central theme within the Comprehensive Plan is the removal of blight and stabilization of the local housing market. Action 8 of the Comprehensive Plan calls for staff from the Department of Development to spearhead neighborhood revitalization efforts, inventorying redevelopment sites, implementing neighborhood rehabilitation and improving interdepartmental coordination. Additionally, goals 3 and 4 of the Consolidated Plan (2015-2019) state the need for robust policy procedures to address the issue of vacant and abandoned properties while creating opportunities for redevelopment. Recommendation: The City Council authorizes the Mayor to amend the budget to create the position of a “Neighborhood Stabilization Coordinator” in the Department of Development. Yearly salary for this position will be $60,000.
