TO: City Administration Committee FROM: Liz Vance, Director Suki Tabor, Deputy Director RE: Youth Bureau Roster Amendment DATE: January 7, 2016 The Youth Bureau is requesting permission to amend the 2016 Recreation Support Services roster. A recent vacancy gives us the opportunity to restructure the program staff to better meet the needs of participants, fulfill contractual obligations and utilize staff expertise more efficiently. The restructuring creates a promotional opportunity for qualifying Specialists in Recreation for Individuals with Disabilities. We would like to: Add: 1 full time (35 Hours) Program Coordinator for Individuals with Disabilities. Decrease: 1 Recreation Specialist from 40 hours to 35 hours With the new structure in place we will have a youth team and an adult team in place to provide services. Each team will have a Program Coordinator and 2 Recreation Specialists to implement programming. The proposed amendment will be made within existing funds of the approved 2016 Youth Bureau budget. We have worked closely with the Human Resources Department to develop this position and restructuring of the Recreation Support Services Program. We anticipate a formal adoption by the Civil Service Commission after their review at the January meeting. "An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." 2.

City Administration Human Resources, and Policy .3 Creation of"Officer Next Door" Program ORDINANCE -2016 An Ordinance Creating Chapter 95, Article I of the City of Ithaca Municipal Code WHEREAS, the Common Council, the Mayor, and the Police Chief, have explored and do support the creation of an"Officer Next Door"program (the "Program") in one area of the city,namely that area known as West Village, and; WHEREAS, in the future, the City may identify additional areas of the city experiencing higher crime rates in which such a program could also be useful; now therefore BE IT ORDAINED AND ENACTED by the Common Council of the City of Ithaca as follows: Section 1. Findings of Fact. The Common Council finds that: 1. The Program presents strong potential to benefit public safety in the City,both in the specified Program Zones and beyond, and both on private and public property. 2. The Chief of Police and the Mayor have identified and expressed their support for the foregoing expectation of public benefit. 3. Section 55-5 of the City Code prohibits City officials and employees from accepting or receiving any gift having a value of$75 or more, under circumstances in which it could reasonably be inferred that the gift was intended to influence him or her or could reasonably be expected to influence him or her in the performance of his or her official duties or was intended as a reward for any official action on his or her part. 4. Officers receiving housing under this program will be rendering a public service, as solicited and administered by the Ithaca Police Department; and thus will not be receiving a gift in violation of Section 55-5 of the City Code. 5. The City Attorney has opined in accord with the foregoing. 6. While not directly relevant in the City of Ithaca,the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board has opined in Advisory Opinion 97-02 that officers of the New York City Police Department may participate in a Resident Police Program similar to the Officer Next Door Program created by this ordinance without violating the conflicts of interest limitations placed on those officers by the New York City Charter. Section 2. Creation of Chapter 95,Article I. Article I of Chapter 95 is created as follows: Officer Next Door Program J:\DRedsicker\AGENDAS\City Admin Comm\2016\1-20- Agenda.docx 1/20/16 (1) Purpose and Intent: The purpose and intent of this Article is to increase community policing and reduce crime by encouraging and enabling officers of the Ithaca Police Department to reside in specified Program Zones. (2) Program Zones: The Program shall only operate in those Officer Next Door Program Zones ("Program Zones") identified in the following list, as amended by the Common Council from time to time: that area containing tax parcels adjoining West Village Place, Abbott Lane, or Chestnut Street(including those areas commonly known as "West Village" and"Chestnut Hill Apartments"). (3) Administration: The Program will evaluate and, at the discretion of the Chief of Police, accept for Program participation one or more housing units made available, on a solely voluntary basis, by property owners or lessees within a Program Zone, said housing units to be offered for Program participation at a discount of not less than 50% off of the market rate applicable to each unit made available. All City officials and City employees are expressly forbidden from soliciting property owners or others to volunteer housing units in connection with this Program. (4) Selection: Upon availability to the Program of one or more housing units, or upon subsequent vacancy of such units, the Chief of Police shall make available within the Department an application for participation in the Program. Upon application by interested officers, participants in the Program shall be selected by the Chief of Police based upon factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience and community policing ability. (5) Requirements: Minimum requirements for officer participation in the Program shall include: a. A commitment by the officer to maintain full-time residence in the Program Zone for a minimum period of one year. b. Certification that the officer has not resided in the Program Zone during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of their application for Program participation, excepting residence that commenced anytime between September 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 and that either did not extend beyond May 1, 2016 or did so extend in the form of approved participation in the Program. c. Execution by the officer of a waiver and release, as approved by the City Attorney, releasing the City and the Department from any and all liability and cost, statutory, regulatory,judicial, or otherwise arising from the Officer's participation in the program, residence in the housing unit, and any associated or related activities, incidents, injuries, or damages arising at any time that the officer is not entitled to hourly compensation from the Department for services rendered in the course of employment. (6) Lease Agreement: Once notified of the Chief of Police's approval of an officer's application for participation in the Program, the selected officer may arrange and execute, at exactly the rate of discount previously offered to the Program for that particular housing unit, a lease that, if executed, shall be solely between the officer and the landlord. The City shall not be a party to said lease and shall not be financially responsible or liable in connection with the lease for any costs, damages, fees, or other payments due by either party to the lease to anyone at all. (7) Gifts: Participation in the Program, if in full compliance with this Article, shall not constitute a violation of Section 55-5 of the City Code.

J:ADRedsicker\AGENDAS\City Admin Comm\2016\1-20- Agenda.docx 1/20/16 ADVISORY OPINION 97-02 Police Officers Given Special Consideration for Residency in City Housing SUMMARY: Police officers employed by the New York City Police Department(the "NYPD")may, for the reasons discussed in the opinion,be given special consideration for residency in public housing developments, as part of the New York City Housing Authority's proposed Resident Police Program (the "Program"). First,Federal law encourages programs such as these,which are intended to increase the security of public housing developments where crime has been a problem. Second,the police officers would not be seeking to use their positions for private gain;rather,both the NYPD and the NYCHA have actively solicited and encouraged these officers to participate in the Program. Third, officials from both agencies have approved, in writing, the officers' participation in the Program. The officers' participation in the Program would be conditioned on their performing several hours of community service each month. OPINION OF THE BOARD The Conflicts of Interest Board (the"Board")has received a request for an opinion form the New York City Housing Authority(the `WYCHA") and the New York City Police Department(the"NYPD"), asking whether, consistent with the conflicts of interest provisions of Chapter 68 of the City Charter,NYPD police officers may be given special consideration for residency in public housing developments, as part of the NYCHA's proposed Resident Police Program(the"Program"). For the reasons discussed below, it is the opinion of the Board that NYPD police officers may participate in the Program. The Board has received letters from Jeffery Schanback, the NYCHA's General Counsel, and Police Commissioner Howard Safir, in which they describe, and approve their respective agencies' participation in, the Program. Commissioner Safir has advised the Board that the Program is designed to increase police presence at housing projects by offering police officers the opportunity to rent apartments from the NYCHA at special rates. Police officers would be given special consideration over other qualified applicants who are currently on waiting lists,but these officers would also be required to perform five hours of community service each month in local youth and senior citizen programs. Mr. Schanback has advised the Board that, since 1994, Federal law,via the National Affordable Housing Act,has empowered public housing authorities to submit to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD")plans whereby public housing units may be allocated for occupancy by police officers who would not otherwise be eligible to become public housing tenants. In 1995, HUD approved the NYCHA's plan, permitting the rental of apartments to police officers. Mr. Schanback also has advised the Board that this year both houses of Congress have considered, though have not enacted, additional public housing reform legislation,to substantially expand the authority of public housing agencies to admit police officers as residents. One of the purposes of such proposed legislation is"to increase security for other public housing residents in developments where crime has been a problem." Commissioner Safir has noted in his letter that the Program would provide a benefit both to the officers who voluntarily participate in it and to the other residents of the City's public housing developments. Commissioner Safir also has stated his opinion that the police officers who participate in the Program would"serve as positive role models in the community, thereby decreasing the likelihood that young people will become involved in criminal activity." The City's conflicts of interest law prohibits public servants from using their position as public servants to obtain any financial gain, contract, license,privilege or other private or personal advantage, direct or indirect, for themselves or for any person or firm associated with them. See Charter Section 2604(b)(3). Thus, public servants may not affirmatively use their official City position to get special treatment with respect to any non-City activities or interests. Indeed, in the Board's Advisory Opinion No. 92-3, the Board determined that it would have violated the conflicts of interest law for a public servant, who was an employee of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development,to rent an apartment in a building that he learned was available only as the result of his official duties. It was the opinion of the Board that,under the circumstances of that case, the public servant's actions could have created the appearance that he obtained a private advantage because of his official position. The police officers' participation in the Program, however, would not create such an appearance for several significant reasons. First, Federal law encourages programs such as these, which are intended to increase the security of public housing developments where crime has been a problem. Second, the police officers would not be seeking to use their positions for private gain; rather, both the NYCHA and the NYPD have actively solicited and encouraged these officers to participate in the Program, in furtherance of the purposes and interests of the City. Third, both Mr. Schanback and Commissioner Safir, in approving the Program, have stated their beliefs that the police officers' involvement in the Program would serve the City's interests. In addition, it is worth noting that the police officers' participation in the Program would be conditioned on their performing several hours of community service each month. It is the opinion of the Board that,based on the representations of Mr. Schanback and Commissioner Safir, and in light of the particular circumstances of this case,the benefit that the housing project residents and the City would gain from this Program significantly outweighs any personal advantages the participating police officers might gain from the Program and, therefore, the police officers' participation in the Program currently and,if the proposed Federal legislation is enacted,in the future would be consistent with Chapter 68.
