Fred Marrano City Council President 714 Ridge Road Lackawanna, New York 14218 Re: Transfer of City-Owned Lots to Lackawanna Housing Development Corporation (“LHDC”) -MOVE-IN NY Program Dear Council President Marrano and the Honorable City Council: On behalf of Mayor Iafallo, the undersigned requests that the City Council vote and act on the attached ordinance at the August 17, 2026 City Council Meeting authorizing: (1) the sale of 8 City-owned lots to the LHDC; and (2) Mayor Iafallo to execute any closing paperwork relative to the transfer. As Your Honorable Body is aware, the City applied for, and was ultimately granted, financial assistance through the New York State Homes and Community Renewal’s MOVE-IN NY Program. The application was submitted with the assistance of the LHDC. In addition to the ordinance, I am also attaching a memorandum from Director of Development Chuck Clark with additional background information and details regarding the initiative. To move forward with participation in the Program, the City must transfer the lots to the LHDC, who will then ultimately transfer the lots to the eventual owners. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Sincerely, ARIANNA KWIATKOWSKI, CITY ATTORNEY A copy of the memorandum can be obtained in the Clerk’s office.
