2. Chris Lozo spoke about her bid on 205 fifth and being owner occupied also
becoming a part of the neighborhood.
3. Harry Tutunjian spoke about all4 properties he bid on. He stated he has filed an
ethics complaints as well; do to action by the assessor's office. He also spoke
about seeing property being removed by city workers and questioned why. He
spoke about the process of awarding the properties. He asked council to
reconsider his bid and support the sale to him tonight.
4. Laura Rabinaw spoke in regards to her bid on 453 Madison and that she is
looking forward to being a part of the city.
5. Mark Bethel spoke about the bid process and the rules not being posted so people
can see and understand. He bid on 3 properties and was not given a reason why
they were not accepted. He stated he buys property fixes them up to resell; the
new purchaser occupies the property. He currently owns property in Troy that he
lives in; his taxes are paid so why he was denied.

Bodnar motioned to removed property 205 Fifth Ave. Gordon 2"d, He spoke about an
ethic complaint filed and the possibility of an investigation. He asked why city workers
would go in and remove property from this address. Wiltshire asked the administration
why the furniture was removed. Ryan stated the equipment was removed for the city to
sell but he was not sure what other contents were removed. Wiltshire asked for an
estimate of what the city will get. Ryan stated he did not know; it will be auctioned off
but he did state the equipment he believes is worth some money. Ian stated the property
belongs to the city and we have a right to go in and remove it. Bodnar spoke about the
bidding process on properties. Gordon asked about as is. Ian stated correct the property is
itself; not the contents inside. Wiltshire stated he agreed with Ian in that it would be the
structure that's being bid on not the contents; and he sees no problem with city selling its
contents at auction. Galuski spoke about it being done in the past. Doherty spoke about
properties not always going to the highest bidder. Gordon asked why we would not sell it
for more it obviously is worth more. Zalewski stated unless you draft contents into the
agreement like it is done when buying a house the property inside usually does not go
with the structure. Wiltshire stated he had no problem with city workers removing the
property for auction but if it was filled with Garbage he would not want tax payer dollars
used to have them clean it out. He stated he was present during the process and it was
done correctly based on the current process we have in place. Bodnar spoke about
Zalewski's comments and that this is different than a home sale. Galuski asked about the
Ethics Committee meeting based on the report he had in front of him and that only 2
members were present, no quorum, so how do they accept a complaint then.
Zalewski asked about Mr. Bethel's offers. Doherty stated he was present at the meeting
and will not comment publicly for embarrassment reasons but that reasons were given as
to why at the meeting. Wiltshire stated the process may still have some flaws, maybe in
that the reasons why someone was not approved. He stated we do have a check list to go
by at these meetings, 1st the pre-screening of an applicant if they are eligible to have a bid
move forward. This is based on several criteria:
. All taxes are paid
. No foreclosures
. Water/ recycling bills paid
. No code violations on any other properties owned
. No outstanding parking tickets
. A completed application with proof of funds
. If prior projects were completed in the past
He stated any one of these can stop an application in its tracks. Monica spoke about the
process this time having multiple bidders more than ever on properties and it is also
based on the quality of life in the neighborhoods that it taken into consideration.
Bodnar motioned to remove property 205 Fifth Ave., 2nd by Gordon, failed by a vote of 7
no to 2 yes (Bodnar and Gordon).
Bodnar proposed a 2nd motioned to remove property 7 CPL William Dickerson PL. and
went on to speak about Mr. Tutunjian's bid being more and the use was the same as the
other bidder. Doherty spoke about how the process works. He stated it is not always the
highest bidder that is chosen. He stated a lot of work went into this and we should move
it along, certainly we should not be influence by others. Wiltshire stated this is just a
garage and there is not much rehab needed, its use is for parking. The bidder currently
owns property on that street and would use it for off street parking. He would be in and
out of it on a daily basis, not just for storage. Galuski spoke about the history of this
process and how it's changed. He stated now it is not just going to the highest bidder,
like in the past because we would get those properties back. He stated there are now
several people involved, from departments and council members; as council member
Gordon stated in the past there is always going to be winners and losers. Bodnar stated
the process has improved but now he feels that actual council members are helping make
decision on these not just observing like in the past. He asked that possibly a codified
system be designed which prioritizes the bidders would be beneficial.
Bodnar's motion to remove property 7 CPL William Dickerson PL., 2nd by Gordon,
failed by a vote of 7 no to 2 yes (Bodnar and Gordon).
Ordinance passed by a vote of 7 yes to 2 no ( Bodnar and Gordon)

and support of the past events that were held. They inform the council and public
of some upcoming events in Troy (Giving Tuesday) along with Small business
Saturday. They went on to explain the concept and benefits of these events.
2. Cindy Dedomnick spoke about the possibility of the removal of the SRO officer
in the Lansingburgh School. She stated her concerns and how important he is the
students and staff.
3. Ken Youngs spoke about a garage property that he bid on and how it was sold to
Trip instead. He stated Trip is not a home owner which is what they stated the
criteria is. He then spoke about his wall he built on his property that was taking
down by the city and how he wants the city to reimburse him for materials he
bought to build it.
4. Harry Tutunjian thanked the council for the approval of his bid on a property. He
then went on to speak about the removal of the contents from 205 Fifth Ave by

the budget is due. The administration files the budget on October 1st and the City Council
passes the budget in December. The several hundred expense categories contained in the
2015 budget are estimates of those expenses made in 2014 for 2015.
It is now deemed that certain allocations need to be increased to cover unanticipated
expenses. Other budget lines will be adjusted to compensate for these increases.
Overall Budget Fiscal Impact: None.

(30) days of when due shall be considered an event of default and EIC shall be
entitled to pursue any one or more of the remedies set forth below.

another Participating Municipality.

Participating Municipality resulting from defaulted charge payments only in the
event of a Permanent Loss (defined below) with respect to a Benefited Property.

conjunction with financings made to properties located within one or more
designated Participating Municipalities. All Reserve Funds will be held at a bank
or trust company located and authorized to do business in NYS. Reserve Funds
will be invested in accordance with the investment guidelines approved by EIC
(the "Investment Guidelines") as may be amended from time to time.
(b) EIC reserves the right to refuse to make a financing to a property located within
a Member Municipality in the event EIC determines, in its sole discretion, that
there are inadequate reserve funds.
(c) A loss shall not be deemed a permanent loss until the Participating Municipality
has exhausted all remedies at law in an effort to collect the defaulted charge
payments, including but not limited to the redemption and sale of the Benefited
2/21113 5
Property where the proceeds are not sufficient to recover all amounts paid by the
Municipality to EIC after the proceeds of such sale have been proportionately
applied to all amounts owed to the Municipality at the time of such sale as a
result of the non-payment of taxes ("Permanent Loss") . In order to collect fi.·om
the Reserve Fund in the event of a Permanent Loss, the Municipality must
provide EIC with all documentation as may be reasonably requested by EIC to
document such Permanent Loss and must not be in default to EIC, including
having made all payments to EIC when due.

Should the Municipality default in any of its obligations hereunder, including but not
limited to failure to make payments to EIC as required hereunder, EIC shall be
entitled to any remedy it may have at law and as set forth below. EIC may utilize any
one or all of these remedies at EIC's sole discretion.
a) If the Municipality fails to make a required payment to EIC and the
Municipality collects penalties or interest from the Property Owner for late
payment, the Municipality shall pay to EIC all such penalties or interest
attributable to the charge collected by the Municipality on behalf of EIC.
b) EIC shall have the right to discontinue providing any new financings to
Properties located within the Municipality.
c) EIC may suspend the Municipality's membership in EIC.

regulations concerning its organization, its existence and the transaction of its
business and that all necessary steps have been taken to authorize it to execute,
deliver and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement, and no consent
or approval of any third party is required for either Party's execution of this
Agreement or the performance of its obligations contained herein. The individual
executing this Agreement on behalf of each Party has been and is duly authorized to

under any of the terms or provisions of any other agreement, contract, covenant or
security instrument or any law, regulation or ordinance by which the Party is bound.

threatened against either Party which may impair its ability to perform its respective
