Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Next
like
to
invite
up
to
the
stage
Deborah,
lamb,
Debra's,
the
chief
and
director
of
the
Department
of
innovation
and
performance
at
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
she's,
going
to
serve
as
our
moderator
for
this
next
session
and
panel.
And
this
is,
as
I
said,
a
cross-sector
panel.
That
is
really
going
to
be
reflecting
and
building
on
the
work
that
we
just
did
both
to
define
resilience
and
what
it
means
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
as
well
as
thinking
specifically
about
shocks
and
stresses.
B
Can
I
have
the
panelists
come
up
to
and
then
I'll
introduce
you
Jim
Melanie,
Karen,
hello,
everyone?
How
are
you
I'm?
It's
really
great
to
hear
all
the
discussions
going
on
around
resilience.
We're
really
pleased
about
the
group
here,
as
grant
noted
before
we
really
strive
hard
to
pick
a
good
selection
of
people
to
contribute
to
building
a
resilient,
Pittsburgh
full
disclosure
I
used
in
my
past
life,
I
used
to
advise
cities
on
resilience
as
part
of
one
of
the
consultants
working
with
Rockefeller,
so
I
feel
very
much
at
home.
B
In
a
lot
of
these
discussions
and
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
our
panelists
talked
a
little
bit
more
about
how
each
of
them
have
contributed
to
resilience
in
the
city.
So
without
further
ado,
I'll
just
start
with
a
brief
round
of
introductions,
so
immediately
to
my
left
is
a
Melanie
Harrington,
who
is
the
first
president
and
CEO
of
vibrant
Pittsburgh?
It's
basically,
this
awesome
non-profit
organization
dedicated
to
promoting
diversity
and
promoting
the
lives
of
young
people
in
Pittsburgh.
B
Next,
we
have
Jim
good,
who
is
our
permanent
executive
director
of
the
Pittsburgh
water
and
sewage
Authority,
who
is
actually
spearheading.
Some
amazing
plans
around
green
infrastructure
in
the
city
I,
then.
Finally,
we
have
dr.
Karen,
hacker
and
I
have
to
say
dr.
Karen
hacker.
It
brings
a
breath
of
fresh
air
to
health
department
in
the
Allegheny
County.
She
oversees
the
health
for
all
1.2
million
citizens
and
County
really
spearheading
some
amazing
programs
around
air
quality
live
well
and
other
health
initiatives
and
really
I
think
tries
to
improve
the
lives
of
all
residents
of
Pittsburgh.
B
C
Part
of
our,
can
you
hear
me:
okay,
yeah,
okay,
so
part
of
I
think
the
resilience
of
the
city
will
be.
If
people
come
back
to
the
city,
you
know
if
we're
able
to
grow
the
the
city
and
in
order
to
be
a
growing
metropolitan
area,
you
have
to
be
a
region
that
can
attract
and
retain
a
diversity
of
people,
and
unfortunately,
pittsburgh
has
the
dubious
distinction
of
being
one
of
the
least
diverse
metropolitan
areas
of
the
top
100
metros
in
the
nation.
C
So
vibrant
pittsburgh
was
established
to
grow
the
diversity
of
the
pittsburgh
region,
but,
as
you
might
imagine,
a
non-profit
with
a
staff
of
seven,
it
cannot
do
that
by
itself.
I
hire
six
people,
seven,
including
myself.
We
need
to
hire
thousands
of
people
and
engage
them
in
the
broader
fabric
and
work
of
this
region.
So
what
we
do
as
an
organization
is
really
focus
on
the
attraction
of
a
diversity
of
talent
to
the
region,
the
welcoming
and
the
retention
of
of
that
talent
and
also
the
elevation
of
town,
the
advancement
of
talent
in
the
region.
C
If
you
don't
feel
you
can
come
break
in
build
a
social
capital,
advance
get
promoted,
do
things,
then
you
don't
see
here
as
a
place
that
you're
going
to
stay,
but
you'll
just
be
here
for
a
second
until
you
find
your
real
next
opportunity,
someplace
else.
So
elevation
is
a
component
of
both
our
attraction
and
retention.
So
a
couple
of
things
that
we
do
down
a
few
more
minute.
C
Some
of
the
things
that
we
do,
for
example,
is
we
will
take
the
message,
the
amenities,
great
things
that
are
happening
here
in
the
Pittsburgh
region
and
we
leave
town
and
we
go
to
wear
those.
The
diverse
and
demographic
groups
that
are
currently
underrepresented
in
Pittsburgh
are
we
work
with
other
economic
development
organizations
that
are
like
a
vibrant
Pittsburgh
across
the
Upper
Midwest
to
share
best
practices
on
things
like
growing
are
foreign-born
immigrant
allant
here
in
the
Pittsburgh
region
and
work
with
the
great
refugee
resettlement
organizations
that
are
here.
C
We
I
see
as
a
sorry
a
I'm
looking
at
a
blind
as
a
bat
that
we
provide
support
for
their
immigration
legal
center.
We
we
do
a
number
of
work
with
about
700
different
affinity
groups
in
the
region,
diverse
community
based
groups-
we've
mapped
them
track
them
uploaded
them
to
our
website,
to
create
visibility,
to
to
what
they're
doing,
to
connect
the
broader
mainstream
community
to
these
diverse
community
groups
to
have
them
further
integrated
into
the
mainstream
activity
of
the
region.
C
B
Thank
You
Melanie
I'm,
one
of
the
things
that
we
always
hear
about
the
basic
tenant
about
resilience
is
that
some
of
the
world's
and
some
of
the
city's
most
vulnerable
populations
are
actually
the
ones
that
are
most
affected
by
some
of
the
urban
risks
and
they're
the
ones
that
are
at
least
responsible
for
some
of
the
impacts
and
effects.
And
so
we
really
do
need
to
be
cognizant
about
that.
And
that
really
does
affect
a
lot
of
our
diversity.
Issues
in
the
city.
Gym.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Debra
thanks,
Melli
I
got
really
excited
this
morning
when
I
heard
people
speaking
because
it
kept
sounding
like
they
were
saying:
100
Brazilian
cities
I,
thought
wow.
This
is
great.
That's
gonna
be
a
really
really
even
more
interesting
seminar
than
I
thought
anyway.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
Even
with
that
introduction-
and
you
know,
resilience
is
something
that
we
think
about
it:
Pittsburgh
Water
and
Sewer
Authority.
D
D
We
have
we
average
about
a
break
and
a
half
a
day
in
our
water
system.
1200
mile
water
system
thousand
miles
of
sewer
lines
in
the
winter
that
increases
to
about
22
23
breaks
per
day.
So
those
are
that's
one
of
the
the
chronic
things
that
we
worry
about.
We
also
have
an
acute
worry
and
I.
You
know
I,
don't
go
moving
out
of
Pittsburgh,
but
we
have
a.
We
have
what's
called
a
clear.
Well,
it's
a
storage
tank
just
outside
of
our
treatment
plant
where
the
treated
water
goes
it's
about
a
hundred
years
old.
D
D
The
other
item
that
I
wanted
to
mention
was
that
there's
been
decades
of
deferred
maintenance
in
the
system
as
the
city
as
the
industrial
economy
collapse,
the
that
meant
less
money
for
essential
infrastructure
and
we've
been
recently
went
to
the
point
where
we
need
to
invest
about
50
million
dollars
per
year.
Every
are
essentially
forever
to
to
bring
the
system
back
400
years,
exactly
or
as
I
say.
D
We
are
interconnected
with
our
neighbors.
A
lot
of
that
came
about
it,
because
some
of
the
big
oil
spills
on
the
allegheny
a
couple
decades
ago
were
we're
working
on
improving
communications.
One
of
the
things
I
found
was
that,
when
I
came
here
three
years
ago
from
from
california,
was
that
when
the
power
goes
out,
the
power
also
goes
out
in
our
headquarters,
which
is
our
customer
service
center.
So
one
of
the
people
most
need
to
get
ahold
of
us.
D
They
can't
so
we've
we've
recently
were
installing
an
emergency
generator,
though
I
don't
know
if
that
counts
as
resilience,
but
it
seems
to
at
least
fall
somewhere
in
the
category
and
we're
pioneering
a
green
infrastructure
throughout
the
reason
the
region
I'll
talk
about
that
more
a
little
bit
later.
One
thing
I
wanted
to
leave
you
with
is
really
interesting.
Yesterday
I
took
another
tour
of
our
water
treatment
plant
on
its
in
aspinwall
by
waterworks
mall.
For
those
of
you
who
wonder
what
that
big
building
is
across
from
the
wall
in
the
river.
D
That's
us,
that's
the
water
treatment
plant
and
we
have
a
big
old
building
at
one
end,
that's
called
the
Ross
pump
station.
That
brings
all
the
water
in
that's
treated
and
there's
a
series
of
five
well
pumps
that
are
below
the
below
the
first
floor
of
the
building
that
pump
the
water
in
and
then
there's
one
pump.
That's
40
feet,
above
all,
the
other
pumps
that
pump
was
put
in
in
the
40s,
because
that
was
about
four
years
after
the
flooding
and
it's
above
the
high
level
of
the
flood
in
1936.
D
So
it's
it's
I,
don't
know
if
we've
always
called
it
resilience,
but
it
is
something
that
folks
in
our
sector
do
think
about,
because
without
drinking
water
we
can't
have
the
civilization
that
we
have
it's
that
simple.
So
it's
sort
of
ingrained
in
us
and
certainly
we
can
always
do
more
and
do
better.
B
Very
traditional
engineering
solution,
man
trying
to
define
nature
and
the
approach
that
we're
moving
away
from
in
terms
of
resilience
is
thinking
about
the
people
first
and
then
thinking
about
how
nature
can
work
with
our
environment
and
then
last
but
not
least,
thinking
about
the
hard
infrastructure
and
how
I
can
complement.
So,
it's
just
so
great
to
hear
you
say
that
Jim.
Thank
you.
Dr.
hacker.
E
So
hear
me
the
Public
Health
Department,
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
not
very
familiar
with
Public
Health,
it's
it's
really
about
the
health
of
the
entire
population,
and,
while
we
think
about
the
individuals
within
that
population,
we're
really
trying
to
think
about
what
is
it
that
can
make
individuals
more
resilient
and
what
we
talk.
A
lot
about
these
days
is
something
called
health
in
all
policies.
E
How
is
it
that
the
policies
of
transportation,
the
policies
of
water,
the
policies
of
industry,
the
policies
of
workplaces
can
complement
what's
going
on,
so
that
people
are
surrounded
by
opportunities
to
live
healthier
lives?
I
do
want
to
mention
in
public
health,
certainly
after
911
and
after
anthrax
scares.
If
everybody
remembers
these
things,
a
lot
of
work
in
public
health
has
focused
on
what's
called
emergency
preparedness
fits
very
nicely
with
this.
E
It's
really
about
try
to
think
about
what
could
be
the
worst
possible
scenario,
and
what
would
you
do
to
plan
for
it,
and
are
you
ready
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
that
type
of
scenarios?
So,
from
our
perspective,
those
scenarios
range
from
weather
disasters
to
clinically
clinical
disasters
diseases,
for
example.
You
know
what
would
have
happened
if
we
had
Ebola
here
in
Pittsburgh.
How
would
we
have
handled
it,
and
you
know
working
to
prepare
for
those
types
of
things,
certainly
with
first
responders
and
many
of
our
other
colleagues
to
do
that.
E
E
And
how
can
we
build
a
better
mousetrap?
How
can
we
build
children
developmentally?
Who
in
fact
will
then
be
able
to
have
that
resilient
nature,
I
used
to
think
of
it
as
and
I
don't
know?
If
people
remember
they
had
these
balloon
clowns
when
I
was
growing
up
and
you
would
hit
him
and
then
they
would
pop
back
up
and
I.
E
Think
of
that,
in
many
ways
as
a
way
of
dissing
resilience
and
we
as
a
department
tend
to
be
very,
very
complaint
driven,
meaning
you
call
us
up,
you
say:
I
got
sick
at
this
restaurant.
You
say
my
neighbor
is
doing
open,
burning
next
door.
To
my
house,
you
say:
there's
a
trash
piling
up
in
the
neighborhood
next
door.
You
say:
I
smell
sewage,
whatever
it
is,
you
tell
that
you
call
us
and
we
investigate
I.
E
E
So
we've
spent
the
last
year
working
with
a
large
number
of
people,
many
of
whom
are
in
this
room
to
really
come
up
with
a
plan
for
a
healthier
allegheny,
and
we
literally
just
launched
that
plan
about
a
week
ago,
and
we
focused
on
five
different
areas
that
we
felt
came
from
our
communities.
It
doesn't
mean
that
there
aren't
other
issues.
Many
of
the
issues,
in
fact
that
our
group
brought
up
weren't
necessarily
on
that
list,
but
the
list
includes
access
to
health
care
services.
E
E
Obviously
the
area
of
mental
health
and
substance
abuse
for
those
who
are
not
aware,
we
have
a
very
big
heroin
problem
in
the
city
and
in
the
county,
and
we
had
over
300
deaths
last
year
from
overdoses
and
as
we
begin
to
try
to
grapple
with
this
problem,
you
know
if
we
have
a
highly
addicted
population,
whether
it's
cigarettes
or
heroin,
we're
not
going
to
be
very
resilient.
So
how
do
we
address
that?
E
How
do
we
address
making
sure
that
the
population
that
needs
access
to
mental
health
gets
it
in
a
way
that
doesn't
mean
that
they're
in
jail?
So
a
lot
of
work,
I
think
going
on
to
think
about
proactive
dressing.
Mental
health
and
substance
abuse
issues.
Of
course
we
have
the
environment,
we
have
areas
of
maternal
and
child
health
and
we
have
our
chronic
disease
behaviors,
all
of
which
we
see
as
related
to
resiliency
but
obviously
are
clearly
focused
on.
E
I
do
want
to
mention
the
issue
of
climate
change,
because
I
think
that,
as
we
start
to
think
about
not
only
where
we
are
and
what
are
the
strategies
for
resiliency
where
we
are
right
now,
but
we
have
to
be
thinking
about
where
we
might
be
in
10
20
years,
and
you
know
we
have
a
wealth
of
water
in
this
area.
I
sometimes
think
if
we
could
package
it
up
and
send
it
to
California
we'd
be
in
great
shape
economically.
E
So
if
any
can
figure
that
one
out
that
would
be
great,
but
what
that
water
does?
Water,
as
you
know,
is,
can
be
extremely
dangerous
from
a
whole
variety
of
issues
right
from
what's
in
the
water
to
what
the
damage
the
water
actually
can
do,
witness
the
Grand
Canyon
right,
so
the
bottom
line
is
we've
got
things
that
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
in
addition
to
what
we
already
have
and
I
think.
That's
that
proactive
stance
that
we're
trying
to
take.
E
B
You
dr.
Hecker,
and
that
was
actually
a
really
good,
balanced
presentation
in
terms
of
the
shocks
and
stresses
that
that
we
are
considered,
and
obviously
the
shocks
are
the
immediate
that
could
happen,
whether
is
natural
events
or
some
sort
of
man-made
disaster.
The
stresses
are
slow
and
simmering
like
the
diversity
issue,
like
the
population
issues,
it's
not
immediate,
but
it
definitely
has
a
same
level
and
scale
impact.
B
How
can
we
ensure
that
we
are
adequately
able
to
cope
and
address
those
unknown
shock,
stresses
impacts
and
that
resilience
framework
is
the
basis
of
that,
so
that
we
are
able
to
deal
adequately
with
known
and
unknown
shocks
and
stresses
so
with
that
I
think
we
want
to
open
this
up
to
a
wider
discussion.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
have
a
lot
of
questions
or
comments,
and
four
panelists
or
just
general
things
that
you
want
to
share
from
your
sessions
and
discussion.
So
we
have
some
microphones
that
are
in
the
back.
F
Yourself,
my
name
is
Charlotte
OMSI
and
I'm
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
office
of
sustainability
and
the
student
Conservation
Association
at
green
cities
fellows.
So
in
our
group
we
identified
economic
inequality
and
kind
of
a
lack
of
amenities
in
disadvantaged
neighborhoods,
as
our
chief
stress
kind
of,
in
contrast
to
the
stresses
that
were
listed
on
our
presentation,
exercise
and
I
just
wondered
kind
of
where
that
falls
for
the
panelists.
If
it's
one
of
their
chief
stresses
or
if
they
see
some
other
issues
as
a
bigger
stress
for
the
population,
diversity.
C
You
know
so
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
at
our
table
is
when
you
have
the
degree
of
racial
disparity
that
we
have
here
in
the
Pittsburgh
area.
So
you
have
a
group
of
people
that
are
that
have
been
here.
Grew
up
here
been
here:
generationally
African
Americans
that
are
not
participating
in
the
transformation
that
is
occurring
in
the
economy,
and
that
creates
a
drag
on
the
overall
potential
growth
and
what
this
community
could
be
and
and
what
happens
that
I
notice
is.
C
You
know
great
groups
come
together
to
talk
about
new
and
great
things,
but
these
communities
and
people
living
in
these
areas
are
not
a
part
of
those
conversations.
So
the
great
things,
then
that
could
potentially
need
to
be
happening
and
they're
hard
things,
there're,
no
real,
simple,
easy
solutions
or
hard
things
that
require
a
long-term
investment.
Longer-Term
engagement,
roll
up
your
sleeves
kind
of
work
and
putting
yourself
in
these
uncomfortable
positions,
but
and
uncomfortable
conversations,
but
incredibly
important,
create
a
sort
of
simmering
discontent.
C
There's
like
right
beneath
the
surface
you
know,
and
and
and
what
happens
is
a
shock
happens
in
the
out
there-
that
that
then
turned
that
simmering
stressor
into
another
big
shock
and-
and
so
those
are,
the
things
that
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
thoughtful
about.
They
I
don't
have
any
easy
solutions.
E
One
of
the
things
that
we've
certainly
addressed
in
our
plan
is
that
across
everything
we
have
in
equities,
certainly
from
the
health
perspective
and
I
would
add
that
their
racial
but
they're
also
geographic.
We
have
communities
within
Pittsburgh
itself
that
are
quite
disadvantaged,
and
then
we
have
communities
directly
next
door
to
Pittsburgh
that
have
really
big
issues
and
our
further
cut
off,
because
our
transportation
system
is
so
limited.
So
the
challenges
I,
think
of
being
able
to
reach
folks
where
they
are
to
be
able
to
engage
them,
are
great
and
I.
E
Think
that
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
that
we
have
in
this
area.
Certainly
one
way
to
deal
with
it
is
to
just
do
a
little
bit
of
what's
happening
now,
which
is
to
gentrify,
who
are
the
people
who
come
in
and
then
the
people
in
this
scenario
and
the
lower
economic
strata
center
pushed
out,
and
they
end
up
someplace
else
out
of
sight
out
of
mind
and
I
think
if
we
really
want
to
avoid
that,
we've
going
to
have
to
do
some
really
hard
thinking.
E
Some
really
hard
outreach,
because
at
this
point
in
time
you
know
I
looked
around
the
room,
and
this
is
the
discussion
and
I.
Don't
see
a
lot
of
members
of
the
community
that
we're
talking
about
sitting
here
and
having
that
discussion
with
us
today,
but
I
don't
want
to
put
that
out
there
as
as
a
negative
in
that
I
I
think
it's
very
hard
and
is
a
fairly
newcomer
to
the
area.
My
understanding
is.
People
have
been
trying
to
address
this
for
a
while,
but,
as
you
said,
there's
no
simple
solution.
It's.
C
Interesting
on
this
panel
I
think
the
three
of
us
are
all
new
to
Pittsburgh
Debra's,
the
only
Pittsburgh
her
a
long
time
cuz.
If
it's
very
know
you
left
and
came
back
at
boomerang,
boomerang,
ER
and
and
so
that
the
perspective
that
I
think
we
bring.
You
knows
people
that
you
know
have
we've
decided
to
make
a
life
here.
C
You
know
for
ourselves
and
in
Pittsburgh,
so
we
see
you
know
great
upside
to
being
here
living
living
here,
but
we
also
have
a
fresh
perspective
on
on
these
in
equity
issues
and
diversity,
issues
and
I
and
yeah
I.
Think
many
things
have
been
tried.
Perhaps
discussions
have
gone
on
a
lot
of
times.
We
just
we
sent
and
we
talked
and
we
talked
and
we
talked,
but
do
we
really
do?
What
are
we
really
doing?
You
know?
Oh
there's
one
chief
diversity
officer
in
the
region
who
jokingly
always
says
just
make
a
new
friend.
C
B
Know
I
think.
Basically,
we
touched
upon
the
elephant
in
the
room.
Right.
Pittsburgh
is
not
as
diverse
as
it
could
be
compared
to
most
metropolitan
areas
in
the
US
were
one
of
the
least
diverse.
This
is
something
we're
all
cognizant
about
and
actively
trying
to
work
on.
What
does
that
mean
for
resilience,
though?
Why
is
diversity
important?
It's
not
diversity,
just
for
diversity!
Sake.
Diversity
actually
has
a
huge
community
effort
when
you
actually
remove
yourself
from
the
silos
and
start
actually
contributing
to
the
city
and
see
yourself
as
part
of
the
city.
B
That's
actually
when
we
reach
a
moment.
True
diversity,
one
of
the
favorite
one
of
my
favorite
stories,
actually
is
the
story
of
the
Chicago
heatwave.
That
happened
a
few
few
years
ago.
Actually,
at
this
point-
and
there
were
two
neighborhoods
that
we
studied
dr.
Hecker-
you
probably
know
about
this,
and
they
were
both
of
similar
social
economic
status.
So
there
were,
they
were
on
the
lower
end.
You
know
poverty,
education,
etc.
B
B
They
looked
out
for
each
other
and
because
they
looked
out
for
each
other,
they
were
able
to
suffer
a
minimal
casualty
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
say
when
we
say
building
resilience,
you
know
that's
what
we
as
a
community
need
to
reach
for
when
we
think
about
diversity
and
that
contribution
to
the
city.
So
thank
you.
H
Hi
I'm
Kelly
Klima
from
Carnegie,
Mellon
University
and
the
first
chronic
or
sorry
acute
stress,
ur,
cute
shock.
There
we
go
that
our
table
had
wanted
to
discuss
was
the
flooding
and
we
actually
felt
so
strongly
about
that.
We
broke
it
up
in
a
to
some
of
those
big
sorts
of
floods
that
occur
as
well
as
some
of
the
more
common
combined
sewer
overflows
and
such
and
I
was
wondering.
Perhaps
this
is
to
you
Jim,
but
as
well
to
the
others
on
the
panel.
D
Sure
I'll
take
a
swing
at
this
one,
so
the
Pittsburgh,
wat
and
Sewer
Authority
has
been
sought.
A
sharp
focus
on
looking
at
green
up
the
structure
for
for
almost
three
years
now,
and
it
really
comes
out
of
a
driver
of
the
wet
weather
plans
that
we're
all
required
to
put
in
to
control
combines
for
overflow.
Sorry
for
all
the
jargon,
but
basically
when
there's
too
much
water
in
the
sewer,
where
does
it
go
either
backs
up
into
somebody's
house
or
it
goes
into
the
river.
D
Our
our
system,
like
a
lot
of
systems
in
this
part
of
the
country,
are
designed
to
put
it
into
the
river.
So
there's
a
bit.
There's
big
efforts,
a
foot
to
reduce
those
in
order
to
protect
the
water
quality
of
our
of
our
runs
and
our
rivers.
What
have
you
the
traditional
approach
and
there
it
works-
is
what
they
call
gray.
D
You
build
a
bigger
water
toys,
water
treatment
plant,
you
build
bigger
pipes,
but
there
are
other
approaches
and
that
approaches
green
infrastructure
there's
one
of
them,
which
is
to
use
natural
systems,
mimic
natural
systems
to
have
source
reduction
so
that
the
rainwater
never
gets
into
the
combined
sewer
in
the
first
place.
So
the
city's
under
rhs
is
doing
a
number
of
things.
D
First
of
all,
we're
doing
a
citywide
green
site
survey,
and
that's
that's
just
what
it
sounds
like
we're:
we're
looking
at
the
entire
city
property,
whether
it's
public
or
private,
and
determining
both
where
the
water
falls
and
where
it
goes.
And
one
of
the
things
we've
found
already
is
that
twenty
percent
of
the
outfalls
along
the
allegheny
are
responsible
for
eighty
percent
of
the
overflows
and
so
that
that
will
help
us
target
future
green
infrastructure
investments
and
we're
doing
this
in
cooperation
with
most
of
the
city
agencies.
D
And
so
in
essence,
it's
going
to
be
a
layer
on
there'll,
be
several
layers
of
information,
GIS
layers,
whether
they're
planning
layers,
transportation
layers,
and
so
it
can
help
to
guide
development
and
the
installation
of
a
future
green
infrastructure
sites.
As
part
of
that,
we
started
off
with
a
look
at
a
22.
What
does
that
mean?
D
That
means
it's
outfall
number
22
on
the
Allegheny
River,
it's
basically
shady
side
and
shady
side
because
of
the
development
patterns,
floods
very
easily
localized
flooding,
not
not
overland,
flooding
and
and
the
severe
flooding
we've
had
in
say
on
Washington
Boulevard
four
years
ago,
but
nonetheless
it
the
flooding
that
comes
into
your
basement
every
year,
and
it's
still
something
that
folks
rightly
so.
Don't
tolerate,
and
that
study
has
shown
that,
with
a
thirty
percent
reduction
in
impervious
surface
through
GI,
we
can
eliminate
basement
flooding
from
the
type
of
storms.
D
We
saw
last
August
which,
for
the
record
were
17
years
storms,
but
what
that
means
it's
a
lot
of
rain
in
a
very
little
amount
of
time.
Finally,
to
other
programs
were
working
on,
we've
got
a
focus
on
salt
mill.
Run
Samba
run
is
on
the
south
side
of
the
city
here,
and
we
focused
on
that
as
a
target
for
green
infrastructure
in
our
wet
weather
plan.
For
a
number
of
reasons,
one
is:
is
that
it?
D
The
main
reason
is
it
encapsulates
all
the
issues
you
face
in
Pittsburgh
when
you
talk
about
water,
so,
first
of
all,
there's
12
communities
that
contribute
to
the
Salman
will
run
sewer
shed
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
not
from
here.
Pittsburgh
is
in
Allegheny
County
in
Allegheny
County,
which
has
about
the
same
population
as
Philadelphia
has
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
municipalities
that
I'm
sorry
update
its
100th.
They
just
formed
three
new
ones:
it's
130
and
but
water
doesn't
care.
D
We
have
two
projects,
one
or
for
many
grants,
which
is
for
community
groups,
and
those
are
five
thousand
dollars
or
less
no
matching
required,
and
then
we
have
a
matching
grant
program
up
to
fifty
thousand
dollars.
That
would
be
for
bigger
property
owners
and,
for
example,
home
depot.
They
wanted
to
do
something
with
their
parking
lot.
They
might
be.
Somebody
we'd
be
interested
in
working
with
and
you
can
go
on
our
website,
PGH
200.com,
if
you're
interested
to
apply.
So
thank
you.
I
Hello,
my
name
is
Nina
young
I
work
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
in
the
Department
of
City
Planning,
and
it's
interesting
in
this
conversation
it
seems
larger
that
there's
many
elements
of
the
social
impact,
the
resiliency,
but
our
table
is
largely
infrastructure
concerns
and
my
question
is:
how
do
we
bridge
the
two
because
it
seems
like
they
exist
in
tandem
and
also
because
the
individuals
here
are
largely
leaders?
What
can
local
residents
do
on
us
on
a
smaller
scale,
things
that
will
impact
long-term
resiliency
for
the
city.
C
So
this
may
seem
sort
of
simple,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
work
on.
We
we
study
a
lot
of
other
metropolitan
areas
and
cities
as
well,
and
we've
looked
a
lot
at
Canada.
C
C
They
have
a
greater
investment
in
that
they
end
up
meeting
other
people
that
have
significant
spheres
of
influence
that
are
working
around
those
around
those
key
important
things
in
that
community.
Those
networks
then
help
advance
them
to
other
greater
exposure
opportunities
and-
and
so
so
you
think
about.
Let's
say
this
initiative
is
a
very
big
catalytic
effort.
A
lot
of
leaders
and
various
people
from
across
are
involved,
and
you
connect
people
from
the
different
disadvantaged,
disconnected
communities
to
this
effort.
C
E
There
certainly
is
an
interest
I
think
in
this
area
to
improve
infrastructure,
and
that
could
be
anything
from
the
streets
that
you
walk
on
right
to
the
brew,
talking
bridges
and
gigantic
things,
but
there's
things
as
simple,
as
you
know,
get
that
curve
repaired
so
that
the
elderly
person
walking
on
the
street
can
actually
walk
on
the
street
and
not
fall
and
break
a
hip.
So
I
think
that
thinking
about
how
each
of
us
contribute
individually
to
areas
that
we're
concerned
about
into
building
those
communities
is
one
way
of
make
of
connecting
the
dots
I.
D
D
Now
is
we're
we're
taking
that
workforce
and
we're
taking
into
the
next
step
that
you
know
there
is
a
certain
amount
of
ditch
digging.
That's
required
water
main
blows.
You
got
to
get
to
it,
but
more
and
more
in
order
to
maximize
the
efficiency
of
our
investment.
Where
should
the
repairs
be
made?
Where
should
the
investments
be
made
and
what
dosing
of
chlorine
should
ease,
etc,
etc?
D
B
J
The
first
one,
my
name
is
Janine
Zappa
with
conservation
consultants
inc.
Thank
you
to
the
panel.
It's
one
thing
I
haven't
heard
talked
about.
We
talked
briefly
about
here
in
our
table
was
affordable
housing
and
they
lay
out
a
few
things
right
Jim.
You
acknowledge
that
there's
a
lot
of
water.
We
have
an
abundance
of
water
and
we
often
have
water
issues.
We
have
topography
that
creates
that
water
moving
rapidly
when
there's
an
excess
of
it.
We
have
soil
conditions
that
don't
necessarily
let
that
water
permeate
housing.
J
More
than
half
of
the
housing
in
the
city
was
built
before
nineteen
sixty.
So
it
doesn't
meet
energy
codes.
It
often
has
a
sandstone
foundation.
What
I'm
getting
at
is
we
see
in
my
organization
a
lot
of
moisture
in
basements,
that's
often
a
trigger
for
a
number
of
health
conditions
in
the
home
and
problems
with
that
housing
stock.
So
we
see
this
as
a
problem
and
I'm
wondering
if
the
panel
sees
that
disproportionately
affecting
as
we
do
low-income
populations
and
if
you
see
policy
steps
that
can
help
to
solve
that.
K
What
you
can
do
that
because
I
know
neighbors
that
I
did
not
know
before
I
know
a
number
of
elderly
neighbors,
a
number
of
neighbors
that
are
beginning
to
show
health
problems
and
such
and
in
addressing
those
kinds
of
social
issues
that
grow
out
of
a
strong
community,
because
it
has,
for
example,
a
block
watch
I've
heard
about
to
11
as
a
number
one
can
call
like
3,
11
and
9
11
11
deal
with
the
sort
of
social
problems
that
you
might
have.
I've
never
tried
it.
K
L
B
E
Of
this
speak
to
housing
and
transportation,
so
there's
no
question
that
the
aging
housing
stock,
particularly
for
public
health,
in
terms
of
you
know
some
very
obvious
things
like
lead
and
other
you
know,
asthma
and
things
like
that
are
related.
We
do
have
a
healthy
homes
program,
we're
trying
to
expand
that,
but
that
doesn't
solve
the
basic
infrastructure
of
the
place
itself
and
as
a
owner
of
a
home
in
lawrenceville
that
was
literally
a
shell
with
horrible
everything
and
we're
having
to
like
fix
everything
ourselves.
E
You
know
I
am
we
were
talking
about
seismic
activity.
I
said
thank
God.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
seismic
activity
because
that
place
would
probably
fall
apart.
You
know,
they're
literally,
the
bricks
are
questionable
so
and
don't
tell
anybody,
because
if
we
buy
it,
if
we
sell
it,
I
don't
want
people
to
know.
But
that
said,
my
guess
is
that
this
is.
You
know
that
this
is
one
of
very
many
kinds
of
scenarios
and
I
think
the
challenges.
E
I
am
optimistic,
though,
because
there
does
seem
to
be
with
the
incoming
generation
a
real
interest
in
trying
to
renovate
some
of
this
housing
stock.
In
some
of
the
neighborhoods
that
you
wouldn't
expect
and
I
think
that
that
is
at
least
an
optimistic
view,
because
clearly
to
be
able
to
take
some
of
these
1890s
whatever
it
was
probably
at
the
time
put
up
in
a
pretty
quick
way
themselves
and
get
them
to
the
state
where
you'd
want
them
to
get
is
will
be
a
challenge.
E
I
mean
the
amount
of
just
just
to
give
people
an
example.
The
amount
of
coal
dust
that
was
sitting
in
this
house
once
we
cleared
out
the
rafters
was
truly
amazing
and
I.
Don't
think
we
think
of
that,
the
walls
are
up,
you
don't
see
it
you're,
not
using
coal
anymore,
there's
a
lot
of
it
out
there.
So
on
that
note,
you
also
just
wanted
to
say
something
about
the
transportation.
So
one
of
the
things
we
heard
in
doing
our
community
meetings
around
Allegheny
County
is
and
I
think
it's
quite
interesting
again
as
an
outsider.
E
Coming
here,
although
I
came
from
Boston
I
got
to
tell
you
that,
while
the
transportation
systems
there
it's
kind
of
crazy,
the
streets
are
kind
of
crazy.
What
really
occurred
to
me
here
is
that
we
have,
we
don't
have
a
classic
sort
of
hub-and-spoke
kind
of
city,
transportation,
infrastructure,
and
so
many
of
our
other
communities
outside
of
Pittsburgh
grew
up
around
a
mill
and
they
had
pretty
much
everything
they
needed
right
in
that
area.
They
had
the
stores
they
had
their
own
health
care
they
had
whatever.
E
It
was
because
that
kept
that
employee
group
healthy
and
kept
them
working
right
despite
the
air
quality,
but
that,
once
with
the
demise
of
the
mills,
we
now
have
these
communities
that
are
really
out
there
and
just
believe
me,
my
own
experience
of
just
driving
to
some
of
the
places
that
we
had
our
community
meetings.
You're
driving
there
you
go
I
can't
believe
people
have
to
do
this
every
single
day.
The
roads
are
just
challenging.
I'm
sure
the
traffic
accidents
are
high.
All
of
those
kinds
of
things
we
are
at
a
disadvantage
in
that.
E
As
you
probably
know,
prior
to
the
more
recent
transportation
bill,
our
port
authority
had
suffered
a
dramatic,
dramatic
cuts
even
now
with
the
transportation
bill.
They're,
not
they
can't
actually
add
routes.
All
they're
doing
is
sort
of
getting
back
to
the
a
level
playing
field,
so
I
think
that
as
time
goes
on,
not
only
do
we
have
to
be
a
lot
more
active
in
terms
of
lobbying
for
transportation
and
certainly
transportation
infrastructure.
I
mean
anybody
tried
to
get
to
DC
from
here.
Okay,
like
you
take
it,
you
take
a
bus.
E
It'll,
probably
take
you
seven
hours,
12
hours,
something
crazy
like
that.
We
you
know,
we
really
need
to
be
thinking
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
in
the
future.
I
think
alternative
modes
of
transportation.
You
know
ubers
coming
to
town
and
they're,
going
to
be
looking
at
some
amazing
things
here
are
going
to
be
other
options.
E
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
Port
Authority
is
also
looking
at
is
how
can
they
connect
their
roots
to
other
accessible
modes
of
transportation,
to
get
people
to
the
very
places
that
we
want
them
to
be
able
to
get
to
whether
it's
a
hospital
work
sites?
Things
like
that,
but
I
would
agree
with
you
that
I
think
transportation
is
a
really
critical
element
for
the
resiliency
of
the
community,
but
just
for
the
health
of
the
community
in
general.
B
Well,
luckily,
I
there's
a
I'm
sure,
there's
a
lot
more
that
we
can
talk
about,
but
luckily
we're
going
to
lunch.
So
you
can
talk
more
during
lunch.
I
think
so,
when
you
step
outside
you'll
you'll,
see
some
lunch
boxes
for
you
and
feel
free
to
go
outside
and
enjoy
the
awesome
weather.
That's
right
now
I'm
going
on
and
then
can
you
please
make
sure
to
come
back
here
at
1pm,
where
we'll
have
our
speech
by
Mayor
William
Fedun
all
right!
Thank
you.
