Mr, Patrick J.Foye Executive Director Mr, Bill Baroni Deputy Executive Director The P ort Authority of New York and New Jersey 225 Park Avenue South New York, New York 10003 Dear Mr. Foye and Mr. Baroni: As the newly-elected Mayor of the City of Jersey City ("Jersey City or*the "City), I w rite in hopes of facilitating a resolution to the numerous outstanding issues between your agency and Jersey City. As you are aware, the Port Authority owns and operates numerous facilities throughout Jersey City, many of which are integral to the operations of PATH, the Port Authority Police Department, and several other Port Authority departments. It is our view that the Port Authority has, in several respects, caused undue economic harm to Jersey City and we wish to discuss reasonable options that address this economic harm th a t work for both Jersey City and the Port .Authority, For example, several years ago, your agency acquired the office building a t Two Montgomery Street and the Global Terminal Properties. To date, despite numerous requests by the p rio r mayoral administration to do so, your agency has failed to pay any properly taxes on either o f these properties as well as on several smaller properties throughout the City. Your agency has done this without any justification, and w ithout any regard to the significant detrim ental effects of these actions on Jersey City, Furthermore, your agency has used 236 Provost Street, which is owned by the City, as a Port Authority parking lot, also without justification. Finally, the City also seeks to reengage your agency in negotiating and preparing a Host Fee A greem ent for the Greenville Yards facility, which will receive and transfer municipal garbage from the City of New York and consequently will impose a significant burden on the City's infrastructure. The Port Authority simply cannot continue to ignore its obligations to pay property taxes to Jersey City, and Jersey City simply cannot ignore the fact th a t the Port Authority has refused to fulfill its obligations to pay taxes on these properties to the City. Furthermore, your agency has left
YAW.JEfiStYCinfMJ.GOV

entirely unaddressed the Impact of th e Greenville Yards facility on Jersey City and th e City's limited resources. We would also like to discuss the economic im pact of the Port Authority's PILOT payments and the failure o f the Port Authority to satisfy a basic obligation to n o t cause economic harm to the municipalities in which it operates Port Authority facilities. Therefore, please consider this letter my final good faith attem pt to engage your agency in discussions regarding these outstanding issues. To th at end, please reach out to m y office within seven (7) days of your receipt of this letter to confirm your agency's willingness to discuss a resolution to the issues outlined above.
