Currently or within the next few years, THA in collaboration with its development partners, intends to complete the preservation, redevelopment, and/or rehabilitation of several projects within the City of Troy including Taylor I, Taylor Phase 2, Griswold Heights, Grand Street Apartments, Edward A. Kane Apartments, Corliss Park Apartments, Catherine M. Sweeney Apartments, Margaret W. Phelan Apartments, Arnold Fallon Apartments, and Conway Court Apartments. The Projects previously were converted from federal public housing operating assistance under Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended (the “Act”) to Section 8 Project Based Voucher assistance under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Rental Assistance Demonstration (“RAD”) program. The RAD program ensures the Projects are maintained as affordable and operated in accordance with federal HUD and RAD requirements. As THA preserves, redevelops, and rehabilitates its Projects and properties with low-income housing tax credits and tax-exempt bond financing available from the New York State Housing Finance Agency, and other available funding sources, THA’s projects transition from paying NO property taxes to making payments in lieu of taxes (“PILOT”). The City of Troy (“City”) and the City Council previously approved PILOT Agreements for THA projects known as: Kennedy Towers, Martin Luther King, Jr. I, Martin Luther King, Jr. II, John P. Taylor Apartments Phase I, Griswold Heights, and THA Bundle 2 (Margaret Phelan, Catherine Sweeney, Grand Street, and Corliss Park) apartments. THA is now ready to redevelop the Taylor 2 site and is therefore seeking the City Council’s approval of a PILOT Agreement necessary to make THA's continued housing efforts finance-able and to ensure the long-term preservation, feasibility, and improvement of affordable and mixed income projects in the City of Troy. Additionally, PILOT Agreements are essential to THA’s ability to continue its mission of providing decent, safe, and sanitary housing for the City’s moderate to low-income families. The proposed PILOT Agreement for Taylor 2 remains consistent with the PILOT Agreements previously approved for the other THA projects. .

Sweeney ♦ John P. Taylor ♦ Section 8 Rental Assistance  RES31 Accordingly, pursuant to Section 577 of the Private Housing Finance Law of the State of New York (the “PHFL”) and consistent with prior THA redevelopment efforts, THA respectfully requests that the City Council exempt from local and municipal taxes, other than assessments for local improvements, one hundred percent (100%) of the value of Taylor 2 (formerly John P. Taylor Building 3 & 4) and to include both the land and the improvements in the Project. In lieu of local and municipal taxes, THA requests that the City Council approve the Taylor 2 proposed PILOT Agreement (as attached to the City Council Resolution) to be entered into in conjunction with the closing of the Project’s rehabilitation/redevelopment financing.  RES31 AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES (PILOT) BY AND AMONG THE CITY OF TROY, TAYLOR 2 HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND CORPORATION AND TAYLOR II LLC THIS AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES (the “Agreement”), dated _________, 2025, by and among the CITY OF TROY, NEW YORK, a New York incorporated municipality, having its principal office located at 433 River Street, Troy, New York 12180 (the “City”), TAYLOR 2 HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND CORPORATION, a New York not- for-profit corporation formed pursuant to Article XI of the Private Housing Finance Law of the State of New York (the “PHFL”), having its principal office located at c/o Troy Housing Authority, One Eddy’s Lane, Troy, New York 12180 (the “HDFC”), which HDFC will hold title to the Property (as hereinafter defined) for the benefit of TAYLOR II LLC, a New York limited liability company, having its principal office located at 230 Wyoming Avenue, Kingston, Pennsylvania 18704 (the “LLC”).

Jude Baker This agreement for Medicare Part B premium reimbursement and the performance hereof shall be strictly limited to the terms recited and the individuals named herein (and their spouses until the death of the member or retired member). No other retiree or former or future member of COAT or the Bargaining Unit shall be eligible for this reimbursement benefit, and it shall not be retroactive. The City shall only be liable to reimburse the individuals named herein (and their spouses) the amount calculated by using the standard monthly premium rate in effect for the year for which the reimbursement is sought, or the amount actually paid, whichever is less. The standard monthly premium rate may change from year to year. But for example, in2025, the standard monthly premium rate per beneficiary is $185.00 per month and is based on a modif-red adjusted gross income less than or equal to $106,000 for individual filers, and $212,000 forjoint filers. The City shall not be liable to reimburse any other charges for Medicare Part B coverage, including without limitation any penalty (e.g., late enrollment penalty), any income-related monthly adjustment amount for high-income beneficiaries, or any annual deductible paid for Medicare Part B coverage. The City and COAT agree that providing this reimbursement benefit to the individuals named above, and their spouses, shall not constitute a binding precedent or past practice of any kind and shall not be deemed a past policy ofthe city. Medicare Part B premium reimbursement shall not be a form of deferred compensation earned during employment, nor shall it be a component ofthe city's health insurance plan for employees or retirees, except for the individuals (and their spouses) as specified herein. This agreement for Medicare Part B premium reimbursement shall not be admissible or used at any time in any forum for interpreting any other part or provision ofthe collective Bargaining Agreement or to prove a past practice or precedent or for any pulpose except to enforce its express terms. 2  RES32 In order for an employee identified herein (and their spouse) to be eligible to receive this reimbursement benefit, the employee must be retired from the City of Troy. Retirement from the City shall mean and require that a covered individual ceases service with the City ofTroy after having acquired suffrcient service credits (i.e., 20 years ofservice with the City ofTroy) to qualifu to receive pension benefits from the New York State Retirement System from which he or she is eligible to receive pension benefits, or after being adjudged eligible to receive a disability retirement benefit from such system. The City will, in the future, reimburse the individuals named herein and their spouses annually for Medicare Part B premiums paid or withheld in the previous calendar year during the respective retiree's lifetime. Such annual reimbursement shall be no more than the amount calculated by using the standard monthly premium rate in effect for the year for which the reimbursement is sought, or the amount actually paid, whichever is less. In order to be reimbursed, the retiree (and/or his/her spouse) will provide to the City proofof payment or withholding in the form of a govemment document such as an SSA-1099 form or other sufficient proof ("proof of payment"). The retiree (and/or his/her spouse) will then be reimbursed in the calendar year in which the City receives the proofofpayment (i.e., the calendar year after payment or withholding). This agreement for Medicare Part B premium reimbursement was made in April 2025 in contemplation of the Medicare progr.lm as constituted and existing at that time. If the Medicare program is changed thereafter in a manner that causes a substantial unforeseen detriment to the City or the retired members, then the parties and the affected individuals shall meet and confer to adjust this agreement for Medicare Part B premium reimbursement equitably. Ifthey do not agree, then either party may submit the matter to binding arbitration in accordance with the Voluntary Grievance Arbitration Rules ofProcedure ofthe Public Employment Relations Board of the State of New York. The selected arbitrator, if he or she finds a change in the Medicare program that causes a substantial unforeseen detriment to the City or the retired members, shall be charged with making an equitable adjustment of this agreement for Medicare Part B premium reimbursement. Each party shall be responsible lor one halfofthe fees and costs ofthe arbitrator. 8.

FOR THE LEASE PURCHASE OF A 2024 FLUSHER TRUCK WHEREAS, the City of Troy Office of Geneal Services Bureau of Streets needs to replace its 22 year old flusher truck, a piece of equipment which is an integral part of the street cleaning process; and WHEREAS, the City has only been able to locate one vendor, Cyncon Equipment, Inc., who has a flusher truck that it is willing to transfer to the City; and WHEREAS, Cyncon has proposed a lease installment agreement for a period of 7 years at a cost of $32,884.24 annually, $186,348.00 total (principal and interest) with an option to purchase the truck at the end of the lease for $1.00. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Troy City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to enter into a contractual agreement with the ROC Leasing, LLC, and Cyncon Equipment, Inc., as a single source for the procurement by lease purchase agreement of a new 2024 flusher truck for the Bureau of Streets, the material terms of the agreement to be in substantial conformance with the terms and quote attached hereto, subject to further review and approval by Corporation Counsel, with such further contractual documents, terms, conditions, and provisions as Corporation Counsel may require for the protection of the City and the public. Approved as to form, ________________________, 2025 Richard T. Morrissey, Acting Corporation Counsel  RES34 MEMORANDUM INSUPPORT Date: March 27, 2025 To: Nancy Piskutz, Purchasing Agent; All City Council Members From: Joseph Mazzariello Re: Single Source Procurement – Cyncon Equipment, Inc. After 22 years of operation, the City’s only flusher truck has outlived its useful life and continues to operate only due to the creativity of our DPW mechanics. It will not be serviceable much longer. As we enter the beginning months of spring and prime street cleaning season approaches, the City must procure a new flusher truck for our street cleaning operations. Without a flusher truck, the City’s street sweepers will not operate efficiently or at full potential. The City has contacted numerous vendors, including H.L Gage, Allegiance, and Tracey Road Equipment in an effort to survey the market and to determine whether any vendors have a flusher truck readily available for sale. Despite these efforts, we have been able to locate only one vendor, Cyncon Equipment, Inc., who has a flusher truck that it is willing to transfer to the City. Cyncon has proposed a lease installment agreement for a period of 7 years at a cost of $32,884.24 annually, $186,348.00 total (principal and interest) with an option to purchase the truck at the end of the lease for $1.00. Because of the general unavailability of this type of vehicle from other vendors and because of the City’s immediate need for a new flusher truck to replace the old one that may fail at any time, bid procurement is impractical in the circumstances. Cyncon would likely win the bid anyway but with needless delay. Therefore, I am requesting that the procurement of a new flusher truck from Cyncon be single source, and that the Council authorize the 7 year lease installment purchase arrangement as provided under General Municipal Law section 109-b.  RES34 1900 Empire Blvd. suite 249 Webster, NY 14580 Phone: (585) 419-7914 RealLease.com March 28, 2025 Chris Hart City of Troy 433 River St. Troy, NY 12180 ROC Leasing LLC dba Real Lease is pleased to present the following Municipal Lease Rental Proposal for The City of Troy.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Troy City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to execute an Employment Agreement with the Deputy Chief of Police of the Troy Police Department on behalf of the City of Troy in substantially the form of the Agreement attached hereto, and hereby ratifies the terms thereof. Approved as to form ____________________, 2025 ________________________________________ Richard T. Morrissey, Acting Corporation Counsel  RES35 MEMO IN SUPPORT The Chief, Deputy Chief, and Assistant Chief of the Troy Police Department are all non- represented employees not subject to any collective bargaining agreement. The terms of their employment are governed by individual employment contracts negotiated with the Administration. This legislation authorizes the Mayor to enter into an employment contract negotiated with Deputy Police Chief Christopher Kehn and ratifies the terms of employment for his position as set forth in the Employment Agreement. Consistent with previous contracts with the Chiefs, the terms of the proposed contract mirror in most respects the benefits accorded to Captains in the Department. The salary for a Chief officer is based on several factors including: the pay/benefit scale of comparable positions in the area, the historical rate of pay for these positions in the City of Troy, and the spread between these positions and the pay scale of their subordinates. Each contract is personal to the individual signatory of the contract and does not enure to the benefit of his or her successors. Chief Kehn plans on retiring from City service this year. His base salary for 2025 will remain the same as it was in 2024, $154,033. Otherwise, there are only two material changes from the prior contract. First, five weeks of his eight week vacation entitlement have been converted to a stipend in the amount of $14,754, and his vacation entitlement has been reduced to fifteen working days. Secondly, we have agreed to afford Chief Kehn Medicare Part B premium reimbursement in retirement on the same terms as the Captains named in the most recent COAT agreement. The term of this contract is for the period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. The Employment Agreement for Christopher Kehn as Deputy Chief of Police is attached hereto.  RES35 Employment Agreement 1. Agreement. This Agreement (“the Agreement”) establishes the terms and conditions of employment for the Deputy Chief of Police (the “Deputy Chief”) of the City of Troy (the “City”). The terms of the Agreement shall be effective upon approval of an authorizing Resolution of the Troy City Council. 2. Duties. The Deputy Chief shall work under the supervision and control of the Mayor and the Chief of Police. 3. Salary. In consideration of the Deputy Chief’s services to the City, the Deputy Chief will receive an annual base salary of $154,033.00 in 2025. The annual base salary for 2025 did not increase and remained the same as the salary in 2024. The Deputy Chief is a salaried managerial professional exempt from the payment of overtime except as may otherwise be provided herein. 4. Stipend. In addition to the aforementioned base salary, the Deputy Chief will receive a stipend in the amount of fourteen thousand seven hundred fifty four dollars ($14,754.00) for 2025, said amount shall be payable on January 31, 2025. 5. Health Insurance. The City shall offer health insurance to the Deputy Chief. The health insurance plan offered shall be the City of Troy health insurance plan as may be amended from time to time. The designation of the City of Troy plan shall not limit the City in providing health insurance benefits through any other carrier or through any other means, including self-insurance, to the Deputy Chief. The Deputy Chief may select a single or family plan as applicable. a. The Deputy Chief, if hired as an employee for the City prior to January 27, 1999, shall be entitled to health insurance in the same plan (Traditional Blue PPO 898 Plan) or a plan that is substantially equivalent without contribution to the cost of the annual health insurance premium. If the Deputy Chief was hired as an employee for the City on or after January 27, 1999, the Deputy Chief shall contribute by payroll deduction each month twenty percent (20%) of the cost of the annual premium equivalent established for either single or family coverage selected in the same plan (Traditional Blue PPO 898 Plan) or a plan that is substantially equivalent. The plan of benefits and respective premium contributions rates, (0% and 20%), set forth in this provision will remain throughout employment and retirement, except that if the Deputy Chief contributes twenty percent (20%) of the cost of the annual premium equivalent during employment, the Deputy Chief’s rate of contribution shall be ten percent (10%) during retirement. 1  RES35 b. Medical co-payments applicable to the Deputy Chief are as follows: i. Emergency Care: Emergency Room visit copay shall be $100. ii. Doctor’s office visit: Copays for office visits; pediatrics; internal medicine; family practice; specialists shall be $25. iii. Out-patient surgery: Out-patient surgery copay shall be $100. iv. Prescription Copays: • Copayments for Generic prescriptions shall be $10. • Copayments for Brand prescriptions shall be $25. • Copayments for non-preferred prescriptions shall be $45. c. Upon retirement from the City and after the completion of fifteen (15) years of service with the City, the Deputy Chief will receive health insurance coverage as described herein and in accordance with the Agreement: i. The designation of the City of Troy health insurance plan shall not limit the City in providing health insurance benefits to the Deputy Chief through any other carrier or through any other means, including self- insurance, if the Deputy Chief retires from the City as defined hereinafter. ii. The Deputy Chief may select a single or family plan, as may be applicable, prior to enrollment in Medicare. iii. The Deputy Chief and his or her spouse must enroll in Medicare when eligible and shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with enrollment and/or participation in Medicare in order to receive benefits from the City during retirement. iv. The City may enroll the Deputy Chief and his or her spouse in a Medicare Advantage plan or other plan upon his or her enrollment in Medicare. v. “Retirement from the City” shall be defined as and requires that the Deputy Chief receive pension benefits from the New York State Police and Fire Retirement System (or other New York State retirement system from which the Deputy Chief is eligible to receive pension benefits) immediately upon ceasing City service. vi. The City agrees that it shall pay the cost of the monthly premium/premium equivalent for health insurance (single or family, as may be applicable) for the spouse of the Deputy Chief upon the Deputy Chief's death after retirement or if the Deputy Chief is killed in the line of 2  RES35 duty with the City. The City’s obligation to provide continued coverage to the spouse of the Deputy Chief shall automatically terminate: (1) upon the spouse’s enrollment in Medicare, which enrollment is required at earliest eligibility and an essential obligation of the spouse in order to receive this benefit; (2) upon the spouse getting remarried; or (3) upon the spouse otherwise being covered by any other health insurance, whichever is earliest. Provided the spouse remains eligible for coverage as described herein, the City will provide the spouse of the Deputy Chief with a Medicare Advantage plan or other plan upon his or her enrollment in Medicare. d. Notwithstanding paragraph 4(c)(iii) of this Agreement, in the event the City agrees in writing to reimburse Medicare Part B premiums paid by former employees above the rank of Sergeant in the Police Department, the City agrees to reimburse Medicare Part B premiums paid by the Deputy Chief at the same amount and in the same manner. See Paragraph 5 (e) following. e. Medicare Part B Premium Reimbursement - the City has agreed in writing to reimburse Medicare Part B premiums paid by certain named employees and former employees (and their spouses) above the rank of Sergeant in the Police Department, in an agreement with the Command Officers Association of Troy (“COAT”), dated April_____, 2025, which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. Accordingly, the City will reimburse Medicare Part B premiums paid by the Deputy Chief and his spouse at the same amount and in the same manner during the Deputy Chief’s retirement until his death. This reimbursement benefit shall be strictly limited to the applicable terms and provisions of the COAT reimbursement benefit as recited in the attached Exhibit “A”. The amount of the annual reimbursement shall be no more than the amount calculated by using the standard monthly premium rate in effect for the year for which the reimbursement is sought (e.g., $185 per beneficiary per month in 2025), or the amount actually paid, whichever is less. The City shall not be liable to reimburse any other charges for Medicare Part B coverage, including without limitation any penalty (e.g., late enrollment penalty), any income-related monthly adjustment amount for high-income beneficiaries, or any annual deductible paid for Medicare Part B coverage. 6. Dental Insurance. The City shall offer dental insurance to the Deputy Chief. The dental plan offered shall be the City of Troy dental insurance plan as may be amended from time to time. The designation of the City of Troy dental plan shall not limit the City in providing dental insurance benefits through any other carrier or through any other means, including self-insurance, to personnel covered by this Policy. The Deputy Chief may select a single or family plan as applicable. 3  RES35 a. The Deputy Chief shall receive dental insurance coverage at no cost, exclusive of all co-pays, coinsurance, or deductible requirements set forth in the plan in which the Deputy Chief enrolls. b. There shall be a $2,000.00 annual cap on benefits for all covered dental work. c. Upon retirement from the City and after the completion of fifteen (15) years of service with the City, the Deputy Chief shall receive dental insurance in accordance with the Agreement. i. The dental insurance plan offered shall be the City of Troy dental insurance plan as may be amended from time to time. The designation of the City of Troy dental insurance plan shall not limit the City in providing benefits through any other carrier or through any other means, including self-insurance, to the Deputy Chief if he or she retires from the City as defined hereinafter. ii. The Deputy Chief may select a single or family plan as applicable. iii. The City will pay 50% of the premium for dental coverage. iv. The Deputy Chief will be responsible for meeting the coinsurance and deductible requirements set forth in the plan in which the Deputy Chief enrolls. v. There shall be a $2,000.00 annual cap on benefits for all covered dental work. vi. “Retirement from the City” shall be defined as and requires that the Deputy Chief receive pension benefits from the New York State Police and Fire Retirement System (or other New York State retirement system from which the Deputy Chief is eligible to receive pension benefits) immediately upon ceasing City service. 7. Vacation Leave. Vacation leave is authorized absence from duty with pay. In 2025, the Deputy Chief shall be allowed vacation leave of 15 work days without regard to the number of months worked in 2025. a. The Deputy Chief shall receive credit for a month worked for every month in which the Deputy Chief worked or received wages for a minimum of fifteen (15) working days. Time lost by the Deputy Chief by reason of absence without pay shall not be considered in computing earned credit for vacation leave. 4  RES35 b. All credits for months earned shall be computed from the date of appointment as an employee of the City of Troy. The Deputy Chief may accumulate leave credits for future use up to a maximum of forty (40) workdays. c.
