City Services Data
City Energy Use [1]
Total electricity use in January 2021 for the City’s main energy-using facilities has been
slightly lower than in January 2020, with the exception of the Wastewater Treatment
Plant (WWTP), where electricity use increased by about 32%. Gas use increased by
about 5% at both the Police Department (PD) and the WWTP, whereas it decreased
by 9% in City Hall. Electricity delivery costs have been on the rise, and as a result, total
costs increased for each facility: by 9% for City Hall, by 101% for the PD, and by 119%
for the WWTP. The WWTP usually receives credits from the Bevis Hill solar array, which
reduces the monthly cost of electricity to power the facility; however, due to
transformer replacement, that amount has not been subtracted from the WWTP bill
since June 2020. Replacement has occurred and the City should be getting credits
again soon.

2020 1,149 462 1,623
2021 963 433 1,400
The total number of calls in January 2021 was about 14% less than January of last year.
This decrease was primarily driven by the lower number of medical calls, since there
were 1% fewer medical calls in January 2020 than there were in January 2020. The
number of calls other than medical calls (Fire, Hazardous Conditions, Rescue) was
about 6% less than last year.

Parking Enforcement
Under the new scofflaw regulations, those delinquent in vehicle fines have been
entered into the License Plate Reader (LPR) system, so violators can be more easily
prosecuted. New revenue in 2021 to date amounts to $6,136, which is 47% less than this
time last year. That said, it is only slightly less than the average collected per month in
2020.

2018 - 2020 Liens Update
As of January 31, 2021, total 2018 liens, including interest, amount to $1.3 million, with an
average of $2,886 due per bill. Normally, parcels with 2018 liens would become
foreclosures, but due to COVID-19 regulations, the City has been unable to foreclose on
properties. Total 2019 liens with interest are now $2.87 million, with an average of $2,518
due per bill. This total represents a 20% reduction from last month, primarily attributed to
residents paying school taxes. Total 2020 liens are $6.3 million, with an average of $2,055
due per bill. A larger proportion of liens from all 3 years are attributed to city taxes than to
school taxes.

January 2021 21Data Sources Where does all this data come from? Data for this report is pieced together from many different, decentralized locations in various departments across the City. The list below, which explains where each dataset comes from, contains numbers that coordinate with section titles throughout the report. [1] Energy data comes directly from National Grid bills for each location listed in the report. [2] Waste and recycling numbers are obtained from the Office of General Services (OGS). They track their bills, which are confirmed by county representatives, and provide a monthly update to an Excel spreadsheet hosted on the City Public server [3] All electric vehicle (EV) and charging station data is extracted from the ChargePoint dashboard system provided to the City by ChargePoint. [4] Vehicle maintenance numbers come from Schenectady County. Invoices from the county are transferred to an Excel spreadsheet maintained by the Maintenance Dept. in the City. City staff also tracks fuel transactions by department via credit card statements. The total amounts are put into excel for analysis. [5] The City uses CivicPlus as a platform to host our website. CivicPlus provides statistics on website usage via PikWik, and on Citizen Request Tracker via the CivicPlus dashboard. These can be downloaded to Excel. [6] The Engineering Dept. track capital projects in Excel as each progresses from design to completion. [7] The Fire Dept. maintains a database of their daily call records through an external service. Each month they provide an update to an Excel spreadsheet that contains the relevant call types and the locations from which the calls come (no personal identification data is recorded). [8] Call data and crime records from the Police Dept. is stored in their CAD database and exported each month to Excel. Traffic enforcement data comes from both the City and County databases and is also stored and updated in Excel and/or Word each month. [9] The Receipts Dept. stores tax lien and delinquency information in Munis, which is updated as residents pay down their dues. The dept. then exports this data to Excel monthly. These Excel files contain locational data that is transferred to ESRI’s ArcGIS Pro and mapped. [10] Municity houses Code Enforcement data. The “LogiReports” tool is used to export pre- selected sets of data from Municity to Excel. From there datasets can be mapped in ArcGIS Pro to track locational trends. [11] The Assessment Office maintains the list of city-owned property and lots – which is updated as soon as there are any changes – and sends a copy of the Excel file monthly. Houses and vacant lots that are available for purchase are tracked by the Development Dept. and the Excel spreadsheet is updated monthly. The Law Dept. keeps a list of official property information, including sales, which is updated as changes in property status are made. This list is stored in both Access and Excel. Demolitions are tracked by the development department in Microsoft Office. January 2021 22
