LEGISLATION REQUEST FORM
COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT: DATE: September 19, 2022
TO: COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Andrew Koldin
SUBJECT: Amended Agreement to Reimburse Schenectady County for Work
Performed on Behalf of the City of Schenectady Police Department
Background Information:
On January 25, 2021, the City Council authorized the City to enter into a three-
year agreement with Schenectady County for the continued provision of the
Confidential Target Criminal (CTC) Investigator. Under the agreement, the City
would pay $21,000 annually for the rendered services. The amount was based
upon the net added cost to the County for staffing the position.
Specifically, a County employee in the position of Confidential Target Criminal
(CTC) Investigator provides service to the City in the use of the Schenectady
County Public Surveillance Camera System. This system, as operated by the CTC
Investigator assists the Schenectady Police Department in its investigations by
capturing on camera evidence that otherwise would be unavailable.
The County has requested that the agreement be amended to make the agreement
effective as of 2021, with subsequent three one-year automatic renewals (2022-
2024). No other changes are being made.
Evaluation/Analysis:
By amending the agreement, the City will have certainty in the continued use of
the CTC Investigator at the same annual reimbursement rate for an additional
year.
Recommendation:
2
Approve for full Council consideration the legislative request to enter into an
agreement to reimburse Schenectady County for work performed by the
Confidential Target Criminal Investigator on behalf of the City of
Schenectady Police Department for a period beginning 2021 with three one-
year automatic renewals for years 2022 through 2024.

TO: COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: John Polimeni
SUBJECT: Noise Violation Discussion
Background Information:
The dangers of noise pollution are well known; too much noise makes people sick. Noise
pollution is the second most damaging environmental threat to human health of the
modern day. A commonly known issue is its relationship with heightening stress, but
there is far more than anxiety lurking under the hood of noise pollution. Physical effects
include respiratory agitation, high blood pressure, gastritis, colitis and even heart
attacks. Noise puts stress and tension on the body. The non‐auditory health effects of
noise include muscle reactions, heart palpitations, dilation of pupils, secretion of
adrenalin and thyroid hormones, constriction of blood vessels, and movements of
stomach and intestines. Studies show that boom car noise can cause kidney and heart
failure. In addition, noise damages mental health. Noise can make people anxious,
angry, dissatisfied, and exhausted. Studies show that noise increases aggressive
behavior and worsens depression. Noise is a major reason for sleep loss, which can lead
to chronic fatigue.
Communities deteriorate when there is excessive noise. The same is true in
Schenectady. If noise problems are not addressed, the level of crime is likely to increase.
Also, noise violators are practically advertising the fact that they pursue lawlessness.
Excessive noise has always been illegal – it’s just the police have not had the resources
to enforce against it before, and automated enforcement hasn’t been there until the
last couple of years.
6
Ever had a pleasant stroll interrupted by a loud motorcyclist revving their engine? As
annoying as this may be, it’s usually a momentary blip you can soon forget about. But
for many in Schenectady excessive noise is something that is present day in, day out.
For our health and quality of life, we must determine the extent of the problem to deal
with the problem.
We can use our Smart City technology to assist. An array of three‐directional mics can
be used to pinpoint the origin of loud noise sources or track moving ones. The sensors
combine the microphones with a small low‐power computer, and a 360‐degree camera.
Once a second, sound picked up by the microphone is sent to the computer, which
analyzes the volume, frequency distribution, and sometimes the direction of origin,
before transmitting these measurements to a central server.
Other options include noise cameras which integrate light detection and ranging (lidar)
technology, instead of relying on microphones. Using radar or lidar lasers to measure
noise is more accurate than microphones – the technology can be implemented using
existing solutions like speed cameras.
Additionally, in areas without this Smart City technology in place, we can use low‐power
wide area radio transceivers to enable data transmission between the nodes and
network server. The LoRa‐based sensors are battery operated for ease of deployment,
low‐power to limit network maintenance, robust for continuous operation in extreme
weather conditions, and possess a limited amount of data processing.
We can combine the data that data that is obtained from all our sensors and use
analytic algorithms autonomously detect and classify acoustic events. This can create an
accurate visualization of where a sound is coming from, how loud it is, at what point
that volume drops off, and even more. By utilizing such technology, we will be able to
pinpoint the source of a particular noise, be it a construction site or an obnoxious party.
Machine learning can distinguish between noise sources such as construction, traffic,
gunshots, and music.
For example, let’s say that every day from precisely 5:00 – 5:30 one intersection
becomes a significant noise pollution problem to inhabitants that live close by. We can
identify using the acoustic sensors that this is specifically the sounds of traffic coming
from a certain direction and that this intersection simply can’t accommodate the rush of
people returning home from a day at work. A short‐term solution could be simply to use
this information to change the controlling of the traffic lights; giving way to the lanes
that are most noisy due to heavy traffic stopping and accelerating constantly, optimizing
the best traffic flow and lowest noise load. Longer‐term, intersections could be
redesigned completely.
7
Additionally, information from acoustic sensors running 24/7 allows us to create more
transparent communication with citizens, reporting on noise levels live in a similar
manner to how some cites do with air quality
Combining networked surveillance cameras with acoustic sensors brings a host of
additional benefits. Two senses together – sight and sound – clearly building a richer and
more accurate view of a situation. For instance, data from the acoustic sensor could
automatically and accurately direct video cameras towards specific sources of noise,
allowing for visual verification of an issue, and far better response time to an escalating
situation. A sudden increase in noise – for example raised voices or car horns – could
provide early warning of an incident before it has time to spiral, or the shattering of glass
could alert the camera to a potentially robbery or vandalism.
Furthermore, the additional visual data captured by video surveillance cameras over
longer periods can provide additional insights into specific sources of noise pollution.
We can then map this data into a dynamic noise mapping (GIS) to perform an
environmental noise assessment and develop a soundscape approach.
While these steps by themselves will not solve the noise problem we have in
Schenectady, it is a necessary action to start solving the problem.
8
Evaluation/Analysis:
The first step would be enforcement using the technology with LPR’s to give tickets to
cars and motorcycles violating the noise ordinance. This would require ‘Home Rule’
legislation from the state.
Recommendation:
Obtain a cost estimate to be presented to Council in 4 weeks for further discussion so
budgetary moves can be considered to start solving this problem.

COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT: DATE: September 19, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Christopher R. Wallin, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: 501 State Street – License Agreement for outdoor patio space
TO BE PLACED ON COUNCIL AGENDA OF: September 26, 2022
Background Information:
Redburn Development purchased the vacant Citizens Bank property in 2019. Following
demolition, construction of the mixed‐use building containing 67 market‐rate apartments and a
ground floor restaurant is nearly completed.
In support of the ground floor restaurant by the operators of The Nest across State Street,
Redburn is proposing an outdoor patio on State Street for outdoor dining. Outdoor space is
critical for restaurant projects as well as creating a welcoming and lively downtown. Similar
success has been seen with the outdoor experience at Frog Alley Brewery, 151 Lafayette, Zen, 20
North Broadway, and The Nest to name a few.
Evaluation/Analysis:
The plan calls for approximately 1,060 square foot concrete patio with knee walls and fencing to
demarcate the area. The CDTA bus shelter will be removed (already approved by CDTA) and a
streetlight relocated a few feet. This allows plenty of sidewalk area and space for pedestrians to
walk on State Street. The patio will have planters and plantings to enhance the appearance of the
dining area. The project is being constructed in partnership with Metroplex.
Recommendation:
Authorize the Mayor to enter into an license agreement with Redburn Development
for the construction and operation of an outdoor patio at 501 State Street.

SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding with the Capital District
Transportation Authority for the Bike‐Share Program, Cycle!
TO BE PLACED ON COUNCIL AGENDA OF: September 26, 2022
Background Information:
The Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) applied and was approved for a
federally funded Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ)
through the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to operate the
Capital District bike‐share program, Cycle!
Evaluation/Analysis:
This bike‐sharing program serves Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs and Schenectady. In
Schenectady, there are thirteen (13) hubs, almost 50 bicycles, and has produced over
2,000 rides over the last fifteen months. Ridership will soon increase through an
agreement with Union College, so that their students will be able to ride for free.
The City’s portion of this program costs approximately, $90,000 annually and is based on
the operational agreement with JUMP bicycles (which includes a fee of $150 per bicycle,
per month). This agreement is for 2022, 2023, and 2024 with the City’s share of this
expense is $25,000/year., which is to be charged to operating code A1440‐465.
Recommendation:
The City enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with Capital District Transportation
Authority for the Bike‐Share program, Cycle!

Schenectady “It Starts With Me” Anti‐litter Action Plan
Schenectady is beautiful. It will be even more beautiful, however, if we reduce its littering problem. To
that end, the goal of the Schenectady Anti‐litter Action Plan is to prevent littering by implementing a
plan that, over time, will change people’s behavior.
“It Starts With Me,” The Schenectady Anti‐Litter Action Plan, focuses on 4 areas:
1. Litter Education and Outreach
2. Infrastructure
3. Litter Laws and Enforcement
4. Partnerships
Overview
Educational outreach to Schenectady’s residents will send the message that littering is unacceptable
and that instead, there are better ways to manage waste. Providing a strong infrastructure, including
increased numbers of trash cans and strong waste management services is an essential element in
addressing the issue. Regulations and enforcement will help deter littering behavior. However, it is vital
for residents to understand that government cannot tackle the litter issue alone. Partnerships with
businesses and residents are essential to reduce litter across Schenectady.
Our End Goal: A Cleaner Schenectady
Everyone has a role to play in the fight against litter. We understand that modifying behavior isn’t easy.
But if all Schenectady residents become actively engaged in implementing the anti‐litter actions
recommended in this proposal, we hope to reduce the amount of litter in Schenectady by 50% within
the next five years.
We will measure success by sponsoring litter surveys at multiple locations throughout the City every
year for five years to see if litter has been reduced. This will help us determine whether the action plan
has been successful in changing behaviors, and preventing littering.
Why care about litter?
Litter is waste that hasn’t been managed properly; this includes waste intentionally disposed of
improperly, such as cigarette butts, fast food packaging, and other trash discarded by pedestrians and
motorists. Litter can also include waste that was unintentionally disposed of improperly, such as trash
from overflowing garbage cans. Regardless of intent, litter negatively impacts our natural environment,
the quality of life in our neighborhoods, and ultimately, continued economic development in
Schenectady.
Because litter and mismanaged trash degrade the natural environment, both have serious consequences
for personal health. Trash can take years ‐ even centuries ‐ to break down. Trash can remain in place for
a long time, and cause leaching chemicals, frosting, a breakdown into micro plastics, and dangerous
hazards for wildlife. Water runoff can also transport litter through storm drains into nearby streams or
rivers, resulting in chemical pollutants that threaten the aquatic life and interfere with human use of
these resources. Litter threatens public health by harboring bacteria and attracting rodents and other
disease‐carrying insects and animals.

Motorists and pedestrians are the leading sources of litter in the City. Schenectady’s roads, properties,
and businesses are often littered with small items such as cigarette butts, and larger items like beverage
bottles Other forms of litter include items like tires, food packaging, other forms of plastic, and organic
materials.
No one likes to see litter or illegally dumped goods in their neighborhoods. Besides negatively impacting
community pride, litter impacts external perceptions of our City. As a result, economic development,
tourism, and property values are affected. In fact, surveys have shown that nearly 40% of business
development officials say that litter impacts decisions to locate to a community;55% of realtors think
that litter reduces property values by nearly 10%; and 60% of property appraisers would reduce a
home’s value if it were covered in litter (Keep America Beautiful’s Litter in America Fact Sheet, January
2010).
Litter and illegal dumping are also significant drains on City resources. Schenectady spends hundreds of
thousands of dollars each year to clean up litter and illegal dump sites. Every dollar spent on these
cleanups is money that could be used for other beneficial services like improving City roads and parks.
Additionally, Schenectady often relies on volunteer efforts to keep litter in check. Despite these
collective efforts, litter and illegal dumping continues to increase throughout Schenectady.
Since cleaning up litter is currently a significant use of the City’s scarce resources, we need to shift our
focus to preventing litter and illegal dumping, while continuing to support the existing litter and illegal
dumping cleanup efforts. Regulations, enforcement, and infrastructure should be focused on to reduce
littering and illegal dumping. Funding for infrastructure such as trash receptacles and cigarette butt
stations will be needed. Additionally, we need to educate the public about the negative impacts of litter.
For example, increasing the public’s awareness that plastic litter in our water will end up as plastic and
microplastics in our blood would be a message that might help change behavior.
The cost of litter and illegal dumping in Schenectady
Schenectady spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean litter and illegal dumping throughout our
neighborhoods. This includes activities such as street sweeping or other cleaning programs, as well as
volunteer cleanup events to keep our streets free of litter and illegally dumped items. While these
cleanups are an important part of the fight against litter, these efforts do not address the root causes.
An effective way to address these root causes would be to implement behavioral change strategies
through infrastructure, education, and enforcement. All of these litter prevention activities, such as
providing ample trash and recycling containers in public places, or providing affordable and convenient
disposal options for materials that are most dumped, like tires, appliances, or electronics have
associated costs. Education and outreach to inform the public about the impacts of litter and illegal
dumping, as well as enforcement activities, will require funding.
A. Litter Education and Outreach
Further develop the “It Starts with Me” anti‐litter campaign. The campaign should have a
branded toolkit including a logo, informational materials, videos and other graphics, key
message points, and other items for partners to use to educate residents and visitors about the
impact of litter.

City staff should research and prepare grant applications to develop anti‐littering and
environmental education materials and curricula. This educational component could include
hands‐on lessons for students, teacher training programs, and outdoor learning resources and
conservation. These grant applications could be done in collaboration with partners such as
miSci, the Schenectady City School District, and the Clarkson University graduate teaching
program. Grant funds could be used to provide curriculum and other materials to educators to
promote an anti‐litter message to school children. This could instill a sense of civic responsibility
at a young age and have an added benefit of youth bringing an anti‐littering message home to
share with their families.
Encourage litter clean‐ups in schoolyards and surrounding neighborhoods, such as the recent
one at the Zoller School. This is a fun educational experience in which children can learn about
the damage that litter causes, both aesthetically and environmentally. Local wildlife rehab
facilities could also be invited to teach about litter’s impact on wildlife and aquatic life.
Additionally, City staff should collaborate and engage with Schenectady CSD Parent Teacher
Organizations (PTOs)and school‐based environmental and service clubs.
The City can work with local college faculty to present to school children about the impacts of
microplastics on the human body. This not only teaches the children about the harms of plastics
to their bodies but also exposes them to the higher education opportunities available to them at
locally.
Create a pledge so children can be acknowledged for their good deeds and/or commitment to
resolve the litter problem. For example:
Sponsor a contest once a year open to all Schenectady CSD K – 12 students to create an anti‐
litter poster. We could seek out partnerships from local businesses to sponsor the contest. For
example:

B. Infrastructure
Supply more waste and recycling receptacles around the city. Research has shown the proximity
to waste receptacles helps to determine if someone will litter or not. For example, Texas uses
cans with messages on them like the following:
4
28
5
Schenectady could do likewise with barrels. We could partner with a local business to donate
industrial cans that could be painted with the color scheme and message. This could be a cost‐
effective way of providing appealing‐looking additional trash receptacles throughout the city.
City garbage trucks could have the “It Starts With Me” slogan painted on the sides of the trucks.
Expand cigarette butt disposal stations around the city. For example, cigarette disposal
receptacles can be placed at entry points into city parks, where smoking is prohibited.
Require businesses to place butt disposal stations near their premises
Use smart waste infrastructure such as smart bins or other solar powered trash cans and
compactors so that the City will be notified of a need to collect near‐full garbage cans. With
these smart bins, users receive text message alerts that bins are nearly full, notifying the City to
send out crews to empty them. We could inquire with local businesses to sponsor and/or place
ads on the smart bins to help pay for this investment.
Capital Budget Equipment Needs
Invest in equipment in the Capital Budget for reducing litter. Not all of these pieces of
equipment are necessary, however, we recommend investing in both Individual Litter Vacuums
and a Litter Vacuum Truck.
1. An individual litter vacuum looks like:
5
29
6
The individual litter vacuums could be used in areas that are difficult to reach by traditional
mechanical sweepers. These are more appropriate for spot cleaning in confined areas or where
accessibility is limited or restricted. (Indcraft | Bilset Pedestrian Vacuum Litter Collector | New
Delhi) or (Leaf & Litter Petrol Wheelie Bin Vacuum Cleaners | Litter Vacuum Cleaners
(industrialvacuumsystems.com.au) )
2. Walk‐behind or self‐propelled units are also available. These units can pick up cans, bottles,
litter, and other debris. (Leaf & Litter Vacuum Cleaners | Litter Vacuum Cleaners
(industrialvacuumsystems.com.au) )
3. Vacuum systems which can be mounted on the back of a truck or on a utility trailer are
another option. This roving unit is more ideal to collect litter from roadsides, parks, and other
6
30
7
larger areas. This unit can pick up cans, plastic bottles, cigarette butts, broken glass,
newspaper, plastic bags, straws, wrappers, and other loose rubbish. It can be done in a
fraction of the time compared to manual pickup. (Litter Master™ 9000 | Litter Vacuum
Cleaners (industrialvacuumsystems.com.au) )
4. A ride‐on litter vacuum can be used on various terrains, such as concrete and grass. This
would be useful in parks and grasys areas, sidewalks, bike and pedestrian lanes, parking lots,
curbsides, alleyways, and larger areas. They can be operated by a single user who doesn’t
need to leave the driver’s seat. However, there is also the ability to get out and use the
vacuum hose to reach under things like park benches. All‐Terrain Litter Vacuum Machine
LR50 Vacuum Cleaner | Madvac ; Trash Vacuums | IES/Neptune (neptunewash.com)
A Litter Vacuum Ride‐On‐Outdoor all‐terrain litter vacuum can be rented for $1,380 per
week, or four weeks for $2,950 (Litter Vacuum Ride‐On ‐ Outdoor | Sunbelt Rentals)
These units are cost‐effective because they only require the use of 1 or 2 laborers. Ideally,
these units would be used first in the most heavily littered areas.
C. Litter Laws and Enforcement
We need to enhance the public’s understanding of litter laws, as well as improve their enforcement.
The City could include information about litter laws with the city tax bills, providing an easy‐to‐
understand message that littering is a direct violation of City code.
7
31
8
Our police department, towing companies, and other first responders can partner with us to
prevent accident debris from becoming litter, as well as ensuring that it is disposed of properly
and safely.
Encourage better enforcement of litter laws. The Schenectady Police Department must continue
to work to enforce city code on littering. Creative programs should be considered, such as
Operation Clean Sweep, which would highlight the importance of the enforcement of city code.
Schenectady and our police department should collaborate with the judicial system to change
from tickets to violations for littering. This would work like a parking ticket where a police officer
or public officer issues a violation ticket to a person who violates local littering and dumping
ordinances; the violation ticket is an offer by the City of Schenectady extended to a person to
settle a violation by paying the fine instead of a citation being issued against the violators. These
violation tickets would take law enforcement just a fraction of the time to fill out in comparison
to a citation.
Evaluate and update littering and illegal dumping fines. Civil penalties associated with littering
and illegal dumping are often considered to be either too high or too low and, as a result, not an
effective deterrent to preventing an individual from littering or illegal dumping. As an alternative
or complement to fines, we could consider adding to city code that violators may be sentenced
to help pick‐up litter. This would help violators better understand the impacts of their actions
and help clean up the litter they contributed to our city.
The City could work with the City courts to discuss the possibility of creating “environmental
court” days. Environmental courts are courts that only handle cases related to violations of
environmental laws, allowing for judges to become specialists in environmental law and ensure
that environmental violations, like littering and illegal dumping, are handled promptly.
Any fines received from littering and dumping should be put into a dedicated fund to be used to
solely on littering and illegal dumping prevention activities and programs.
Lastly, the city must incorporate best practices into city ordinances, if not already explicitly stated:
A. Require waste collectors to clean up any spills they create.
B. Require proof of disposal to obtain a local occupancy permit
C. Require proof of disposal for local demolition permits.
D. Require businesses to provide waste receptacles and cigarette disposal buckets in front of
their buildings and in their parking lots.
E. Require businesses to keep their properties clean and litter free.
F. Prohibit individuals or companies convicted of illegal dumping from bidding on any future
contracts in the City of Schenectady.
D. Partnerships
To tackle Schenectady’s litter problem, the City must build partnerships. Community groups,
neighborhoods facing environmental justice issues, and businesses must all be engaged to recommend
practical solutions to address littering issues. This type of collaboration will help to ensure sustainable
8
32
9
behavioral change. City government must nurture these partnerships and expand connections to help in
the fight against litter.
Create a litter task force to ensure that actions are taken to prevent littering.
Create a young ambassador program to engage the city’s youth in becoming leaders in the fight
against litter. This will not only help to keep our city clean but will also instill a sense of
volunteerism at a young age. For an example, look at the young Texan Ambassadors program.
Young Texan Ambassadors (ktb.org)
The City’s summer employment funds could be used to hire teenagers to clean up trash
throughout the city. This could be modeled after the city of Harrisburg, PA’s program. They have
an Environmental Teen Corporation (ETC) Program where, in addition to cleaning up the streets,
they are educated about environmental issues, finances, and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People. It is a six‐week program that provides youth an opportunity to participate in something
positive while learning about the environment and life/job skills. By providing a program like
this, youth in Schenectady can be empowered help keep their communities litter free.
Continue to engage residents and neighborhoods with clean‐up days. For example, the city
could sponsor a “Pick‐up Schenectady” campaign. Registered events can get free cleanup
supplies, such as bag and, gloves from the city. In conjunction with these clean‐ups, the city can
sponsor one or two annual contests for which neighborhood or neighborhoods pick up the most
litter.
Collaborate and communicate with Schenectady businesses that have perpetual litter and trash
issues and violations.
A. Take pictures of litter on business property.
B. Send the owner or manager of the business a letter, including the picture, and asking how the
City can help.
C. Make an appointment to meet with the business owner.
D. Ask them how we could work together to educate their customers to stop littering.
E. Offer to provide them educational materials, such as posters, for posting in a prominent place
in their establishment.
F. Follow‐up, whether with good news (less litter, etc.) or with bad news (continued litter issue).
G. If bad news, fine the business.
H. Develop a pledge for local businesses that can be displayed in their establishments. For
example:
