  • 2016 Proposed Budget
    City of Albany 2016 Proposed Budget Kathy M. Sheehan, Mayor Ismat Alam, Budget Director CITY OF ALBANY OFFICE OF THE MAYOR 24 EAGLE STREET ALBANY, NEW YORK 12207 TELEPHONE (518) 434-5100 WWW.ALBANYNY.ORG KATHY SHEEHAN MAYOR Dear Common Council Members and Residents of the City of Albany: We are at a crossroads in our City where the future for private sector growth, new housing and public investment has never been brighter, but the fiscal sustainability of the very services that support this growth has never been at graver risk. Starting in 2007, consecutive City budgets included the use of Fund Balance (our “rainy day” fund) to balance the budget. This draining of our reserves occurred even with nearly $8 million in annual “spin up” revenue from the State. The most significant depletion of Fund Balance occurred in the prior administration’s 2014 budget, which did not include a “spin up” from the State. Primarily because of the resulting impact on the City’s reserves, the Office of the New York State Comptroller identified Albany as a City experiencing “Significant Fiscal Distress.” My administration’s first budget included significant cost savings measures and short-term relief from the State in the form of one-time revenue, but still required the use $2 million of Fund Balance to deliver a balanced budget. The State’s revenue relief resulted after the New York State Financial Restructuring Board (FRB) reviewed the City’s finances and recognized the gap between what it costs to provide city services and the revenue available to pay for those services.

Ruloff De Kype [5] was born in 1510 in Alencon, Bretagne, France. General Notes: Ruloff De Kype was a warm adherent of the Guises, and took a prominent part in the Civil War between the Catholics and the Protestants. On the triumph of the Protestants, which occurred soon after the general massacre of the inhabitants of Vassey in Champagne, in 1562, his Chateau was burned and he fled from his home at Alancon in Bretagne to Holland with his three sons, where they lived for several years under an assumed name. In 1569, with his son Henri, he returned to France, joined the army of the Duke of Anjou, and on the 13th of March 1569 fell in the battle fought on the banks of La Charante, near Jarnac. By the care of his son, Jean Baptiste, who was a priest, he was buried in a small Church near Jarnac. The Church and grave marker were destroyed during the French Revolution. The Kip arms are represented on page before the title page. Sources: History of The Kip Family In America, by Frederic E.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html.
