AN ACT to deem the objects or purposes for which certain bonds were
issued by the city of Buffalo to be for site improvements adjacent to

proceeds from such bonds for such objects or purposes
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Legislative findings. It is hereby found and determined
that:
(a) Pursuant to a bond resolution dated February 7, 2006, adopted by
the Common Council of the City of Buffalo, county of Erie (the "Common
Council" and the "City," respectively) the City issued on April 26, 2006
bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $995,196.16 to finance the
cost of land acquisition to expand the existing site for P.S. 307, East
High School at 820 Northampton Street, in the City, including parcels
listed in the Exhibit A attached to such bond resolution, together with
site acquisition and infrastructure improvements.
(b) The Common Council of the City has adopted a resolution stating
that expenditure of a portion of the proceeds from such bonds was not
needed to finance such cost of land acquisition because the City
acquired certain of such parcels through in rem foreclosures and
auctions and transferred jurisdiction for school purposes to the Buffalo
City School District; and therefore pursuant to such resolution the
Common Council has requested the enactment of special state legislation
to authorize the expenditure of a $598,000 portion of the proceeds of
such bonds for site improvements adjacent to All High Stadium in the
City to expand parking facilities and create a buffer zone between the
parking facilities and adjacent residences.
S 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the
objects or purposes for which said bonds were issued are hereby deemed
to be site improvements adjacent to All High Stadium in the City to
expand parking facilities and create a buffer zone between the parking

shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
