A
A
We're
gonna
have
our
15
minutes
of
fame.
I
would
like
everyone
to.
Please
go
around
quick,
well,
not
quickly,
a
bit
but
yeah.
We
want
to
be
mindful
of
our
time
this
week,
but
if
you
could
just
say
your
name
and
the
neighborhood
you
live
in
just
so
that
we
can
all
sort
of
get
a
sense
of
who's.
Who
I
am
gonna.
A
E
J
G
G
These
are
our
leaders
of
our
department.
You
might
want
to
write
these
names
down.
If
you
want
to
Sam
is
our
chief
financial
officer.
Paul
Yeager
is
Director
of
Finance
Margaret
Lanier
is
our
treasurer
Jen
is
the
director
of
OMB
Office
of
Management
Area?
Is
the
assistant
director
she'll
be
here
real,
be
here
and
dave
is
the
senior
capital
manager
the
finance
overview
we're
gonna
do
is
I'm
gonna?
Give
you
an
overview
first,
then
Pat's
gonna
come
up
and
give
you
the
overview
and
OMB,
and
then
we'll
dive
into
some
numbers
from
finance.
G
Is
that
okay,
okay,
the
director
our
department
is
busted
up
into
three
divisions,
Sam
and
Paul
oversee
all
three
okay,
the
director
of
our
offices,
Paul
ager.
He
has
a
tough
job
because
he
has
to
interact
with
counsel.
Have
you
guys
ever
watched
city
council?
No,
yes,
you
know
how
that
goes
right.
Okay,
okay,
he
makes
all
apologies
decisions.
He
does
the
citywide
allocations.
G
We
do
our
own
audits,
within
our
own
departments,
he's
in
charge
of
the
pension
trust
fund,
which
is
a
big
thing
for
us
for
me,
especially
because
I'm
getting
close
and
I've
got
and
I
wanted
to
be
there
and
the
barn
ready.
Now
the
bond
rating
for
the
city
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
he
does.
Our
bond
rating
was
a
B
before
Paul
and
before
the
mayor
actually
took
over,
was
it
B
now
we're
at
an
a1
which
is
stable?
The
top
line
of
that
tears,
the
trip
away.
G
Okay,
we
are
trying
to
get
to
an
a
a
1.
What
happens
when
you
get
to
an
a
a
1?
You
can
borrow
more
money
and
the
interest
is
less
okay,
the
treasurer's
office
they
build
for
real
estate,
libary
tax
and
the
school
board.
Okay,
any
of
you
guys
pay
your
own,
a
house.
You
know
that
right,
okay,
they
do
the
property
for
sales,
we're
going
to
get
into
that.
Little
later,
too.
I
think
that's
the
most
one
of
the
most
interesting
things
the
treasurer's
office
does
I
bought
my
first
house
through
the
treasurer
sale.
G
It's
a
real
great
program
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
about
it
in
a
little
bit.
Did
we
do
all
the
data
entry?
We
do
all
the
collection
and
compliances
like
I
said
we
collect
the
library
tax,
the
school
board
tax
and
the
city
tax.
We
do
financial
control,
we
have
cashiers
downstairs.
If
you
guys
want
to
come
in
and
pay,
you
could
pay
online,
you
could
pay
downstairs.
You
can
do
a
couple
things
there
all
right:
the
research
and
development
division.
This
is
Rob
house
that
I'm
in
here
we
do
new
initiatives.
G
We
streamline
systems
I'm,
going
to
show
you
a
streamlined
system
later
on
how
we
do
our
property
sales.
Now
it's
really
cool.
We
do
our
audits
and
our
things
and
these
taxes,
here's
the
payroll
tax,
the
local
tax,
amusement
tax
parking
tax.
These
are
the
taxes
that
this
department
kind
of
handles.
These
are
not
the
big
taxes.
Okay,
the
big
taxes
will
be
your
real
estate
tax,
your
on
income
tax
and
your
payroll,
prep
tax
and
I'll
show
you
the
numbers
on
those
as
we
get
into
this.
G
We
do
leases
fees
and
everything
legislation
and
the
market-based
revenues.
That's
me
now.
This
is
the
funnest
thing
on
by
for
the
market-based
revenues
or
we
try
to
find
revenues
without
taxes
or
fees.
Okay,
we
think
outside
of
the
box,
for
example,
if
you
guys
everything
to
bus
shelters,
you
know
they've
seen
the
bus
shelters
downtown,
they
have
advertisements
in
them.
We
get
money
for
those
I'm
sure
you
guys
all
have
a
cell
phone
right
sell,
tires
and
antennas.
G
If
you
didn't
notice,
there's
a
lot
of
antennas
on
buildings
and
there's
a
lot
of
cell
towers.
We
get
money
for
those
some
of
the
new
initiatives
we
just
did
we
just
redid
our
vending
contract,
which
will
make
three
more
three
times
more.
We
have
three
RFP
is
out
right
now,
one
two
for
the
cell
towers
and
one
for
the
bus
shelters,
and
we
expect
to
at
least
double
all
that
money
and
in
in
the
case
of
the
bus,
shelters
triple
the
money.
G
What
else?
Oh
we're
starting
to
look
at
to
our
fleet?
Advertisement?
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
see
the
big
belly
garbage
trucks
and
the
big
Orbitz
trucks.
We
did
have
a
company
that
wants
to
offer
us
money
to
advertise
on
our
garbage
trucks.
Then
you
say
well
what
company
would
do
that
right?
Glad
trash
bags
and
hefty
trash
bags
right?
G
Okay,
another
thing
we're
doing
a
recycling
program,
this
we're
going
to
do
some
stuff
with
that,
where
they
pay
us
money
to
pick
up
the
recycling
they
get
to
keep
the
recycling
I,
don't
like
that
part
of
it
so
much
yeah,
but
and
that's
another
thing,
if
you
guys
can
think
of
anything
anything,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
big
small.
Did
you
think
the
city
can
raise
money?
Please
email
me!
Our
mistress
is
everything
thinking
outside
the
box.
Okay,
anytime,
we
can
make
more
revenues
for
the
city.
It's
a
great
thing.
G
J
Thanks
Chuck,
so
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
is
definitely
more
internal
facing
than
Finance.
We
don't
usually
interact
with
the
general
public
yourselves,
except
for
tonight,
at
the
Civic
Leadership
Academy,
with
the
exception
of
capital,
so
we
have
four
main
divisions.
The
administration
is
overall
leadership
and
direction
for
both
our
department,
as
well
as
some
citywide
coordination,
including
departmental
planning
and
management
functions,
so
we're
doing
a
lot
of
research,
for
you
know
the
big-ticket
items,
pension,
debt,
service,
staffing
levels,
etc.
J
The
administrative
component
of
OMB
also
handles
supplies
and
human
resource
functions
for
the
mayor's
office,
the
Bureau
of
Neighborhood
Empowerment
and
our
own
office
OMB.
We
also
coordinate
legislation
that
comes
from
the
mayor's
office,
so
departments
write
it.
They
send
it
to
budget
budget
reviews
it
to
make
sure
that
the
account
numbers
are
correct
to
make
sure
that
there's
money
to
spend
this,
and
then
we
send
it
over
to
City
Council.
We
have
a
hand
in
hiring
posting
jobs
and
making
sure
that
departments
aren't
hiring
for
positions
that
are
not
full.
J
So
one
of
the
big
components
of
OMB
is
the
capital
asset
management
and
Infrastructure
Finance,
and
that
is
our
capital
budget,
which
Rio
will
come
up
and
discuss
later
and
also
asset
management,
so
all
of
the
city-owned
properties
and
fleet,
so
our
police
vehicles
are
refuse
vehicles
are
our
new
fireboat.
All
of
these,
these
you
know
big-ticket
items,
government
operations
and
finance
transformation.
That
is
my
division
and
you
know
that's
the
operating
budget.
This
is
your
day-to-day
spending.
J
J
You
know
if
you
have
to
have
a
tree
removed
from
city
property.
We
make
sure
that
there's
a
contract
to
do
that
and
someone
can
come
out
and
do
that.
Also
the
RFP
process
request
for
proposals
is
now
centralized.
So
a
department
will
come
up
with
an
idea:
hey.
We
need
to
bid
out
to
all
interested
vendors
for
Healthcare
Administration.
So
you
know
OMB
works
with
the
department's
who
process
that
post
it
receive
all
of
the
submissions
in
a
fair
and
transparent
manner.
J
So
the
big,
the
big
picture
between
finance
and
budget
finance
has
all
the
revenue
they
bring
in
the
money,
and
then
you
see
that
little
dotted
line.
We
spend
the
money.
So
that's
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.
You
have
to
bring
in
the
revenues
to
be
able
to
spend
it,
and
you
have
to
have
have
money
to
spend
it
and
yeah.
That's
that
so
I'll
go
into
the
budget
process,
which
is
a
lot
more
time-consuming
than
you
might
think.
J
First
of
all,
the
city
is
still
under
state
oversight
from
being
in
financial
distress.
This
began
in
2004
was
extended
in
2009
and
2014,
so
there
are
two
different
organizations
that
that
offer
support
and
assistance
to
the
city,
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
on
the
right
track
in
gaining
our
financial
footing.
J
Ak47
is
oversight
for
distressed
municipalities,
and
that
is
a
state
state
function
and
its
consists
of
the
board
consists
of
a
team
of
lawyers
and
financial
managers,
and
so
what
they
do
is
they
help
with
more
of
the
technical
aspect,
negotiation
with
employees
and
bargaining
units
for
casting
out
revenue
and
expenditures,
and
then
you
know
how
can
the
city
kind
of
leverage
best
practices
that
are
used
elsewhere
across
the
country
and
bring
them?
You
know
in-house?
How
can
we
right
what's
wrong?
J
They
we
work
with
them
to
plan
our
five-year
budget
for
operating
and
we
want
to
get
and
stay
on
firm
financial
footing
and
then
the
ICA,
the
intergovernmental
cooperation
Authority,
is
more
political
in
nature.
It
is,
it
consists
of
representatives
appointed
by
the
governor
and
state
legislative
leaders
and
it
typically
there
are
some
party
line
politics
in
play
here,
but
they
must
approve
our
budget
to
release
the
state
Gaming
funds
that
we
get
from
having
rivers
in
our
borders,
so
the
operating
budget
process.
J
If
you
want
to
look
at
your
the
handout
that
I
provided
you
it's
it's
a
little
easier
to
read
it's
a
year-long
process.
So
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
Well,
let's
start
in
June,
so
on
the
right
hand,
side
in
June,
we
prepare
worksheets,
we
send
them
out
to
all
of
our
departments
and
it's
we
kind
of
figure
out
what
these
departments
and
offices
want
to
do
for
the
following
year.
J
So,
in
June
of
this
year
2017
we
started
working
on
the
2018
budget,
which
is
in
full
swing
right
now,
so
the
departments
and
divisions
review
you
know
the
prior
year
spend
what
we
might
forecast
that
they
might
need
existing
contracts.
They
make
requests,
which
is
a
lot
of
fun
to
to
get.
Sometimes
you
could
have
departments
requesting
millions
of
dollars
that
we
might
not
necessarily
have
to
spend.
So
we
compile
all
of
this.
The
budget
analysts.
J
We
do
our
our
analysis,
as
the
title
suggests,
on
these
requests
and
we
we
kind
of
figure
out
what
the
city
can
play
with
for
the
following
fiscal
year,
and
you
know
what
some
of
the
priorities
will
be
in
August
in
September
we
meet
with
our
departments
and
we
respond
to
their
requests.
Sometimes
you
need
more
information.
J
Sometimes
you
flat-out
say
we
can't
really.
You
know
for
this,
it's
not
in
the
budget,
but
this
is
when
we
respond
to
baseline
requests,
position,
changes
organizational
changes.
We
also
keep
track
of
accomplishments
and
goals
as
well.
So
then
in
September
is
when
things
get
really
interesting.
This
is
right
where
we
are
now.
Our
budget
is
due
to
the
I
ca,
the
state
oversight
authority
that
I
mentioned
in
the
previous
slide
a
hundred
days
before
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
J
So
this
year
that's
on
Friday
22nd,
so
I
am
a
week
and
two
days
out
from
having
to
have
my
budget
done
and
it's
a
little
stressful.
So
if
I'm,
if
I
seem
a
little
frazzled,
that's
that's
why?
So?
What
we
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
confirm
all
these
requests.
We
work
closely
with
the
mayor's
office
to
see
what
his
visions
are
for
the
next
year
and
then
we
really
do
see
what
we
can
work
with
and
what
we
can't.
J
So
following
the
submissions
of
the
ICA,
they
either
approve
it,
which
is
great
or
they
you
know,
have
some
recommendations
and
act.
47
does
as
well,
in
which
case
we
wouldn't
need
to
answer
some
questions,
give
a
little
bit
more
detail
and
kind
of
figure
out
what
it
is
that
they
are
concerned
with,
and
how
we
can
remedy
that
that
concern
code
states.
The
second
I
believe
it's
a
second
Monday
of
November.
The
mayor
must
present
the
budget
to
Council.
J
So
at
this
point
it
is
out
of
the
administration's
hands
and
your
council
members
take
over
the
budget
effectively.
So
in
the
council
side
of
the
5th
floor,
there
is
a
council
Budget
Office
and
they
also,
you
know,
do
some
of
the
similar,
similar
tasks
that
we
perform.
So
then
in
November
in
December
council
holds
their
televised
budget
hearings.
Excuse
me
they
bring
the
department
directors
in
their
public.
You
can
attend,
you
can
watch
them
on
TV
and
essentially
the
council
members
grill.
The
directors
for
changes
wide
numbers
have
increased.
Y
numbers
have
decreased.
J
What
staffing
changes
they
want
and
then
they
must
approve
a
balanced
budget
by
December
31st
and
then
January
1st.
Our
fiscal
year
begins
and
the
process
begins
again,
but
I
don't
get
off
the
hook
so
from
January
to
June.
I
still
have
to
maintain
all
the
things
I
talked
about
earlier
legislation,
contracting
Travel
and
monitoring
spending
once
it
begins.
If
you
flip
over
your
handout.
This
is
the
five-year
financial
forecast.
This
is
like
our
budget
cheat
sheet.
J
It's
it's
probably,
where
you'll
get
all
of
the
essential
information
real
fast
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
every
line,
but
I
do
want
to
note
that
in
our
five-year
five-year
financial
forecast
there
are
three
components.
This
target
budget,
which
you
have
in
front
of
you,
which
is
an
overview
of
revenues,
expenditures
the
operating
result,
I'll
get
to
definitions
in
a
minute
fund
balances
and
the
fund
balance
and
debt
service
as
a
percentage
of
those
yearly
expenditures.
J
There's
also,
if
you
look
in
the
budget,
a
forecast,
split
up
by
department,
so
City
Planning
spends
X
amount
of
dollars.
Innovation
performance
spends,
Y
amount
of
dollars.
Budget
spends
the
amount
of
dollars
and
we
also
have
a
forecast
by
subclass
which
splits
the
expenditures
up
by
spending
category.
So
you
can
easily
see
all
of
the
regular
wages
all
of
the
healthcare
benefits,
all
of
the
professional
services,
all
of
the
vehicle,
cost,
etc
and
so
yeah.
So.
K
J
Capital
budget
is
a
separate
document
from
operating
so
we'll
get
there
and
then
on
the
target
budget.
You
can
see
it
includes
prior
your
estimates,
because
we
are
doing
this
process.
You
know,
prior
to
the
end
of
the
year,
we
don't
have
the
actuals,
those
actuals
usually
come
up.
The
controller's
office
releases
them
in
the
kafir',
the
comprehensive
annual
financial
report
every
May,
and
then
you
have
a
forecast
of
five
years
so
the
following
year
and
then
for
after
that,
I
did
want
to
highlight
some
some
definitions.
J
The
operating
result
is
revenues
minus
expenses.
So
that's
that's
going
to
be
your
surplus.
What
is
left
from
the
revenues
that
you
know
will
go
into
the
fund
balance,
which
is,
is
it's
where
we
store
emergency
funding
and
the
general
best
practice
is
that
if
you
want
your
fund
balance
to
be
three
months
worth
of
of
necessary
expenses,
so
three
months
of
salary,
healthcare,
whatever
your
pension
payments
might
be
your
debt
service
payments
might
be,
and
those
would
come
up
in
some
sort
of
emergency
situation.
You
know
a
natural
disaster,
maybe
an
economic
recession.
J
You
know
that
crisis,
something
like
that,
and
then
you
can
look
at
the
unbalanced
and
debt
service
as
quick
ways
to
gauge
financial
health.
So
you
can
see
you
know
if
your
fund
balance
is
the
only
or
the
percentage
of
the
fund
balance
as
expenditures
is
going
down,
probably
not
the
best
sign.
That
might
mean
you're
spending
a
lot
more
money
than
you
have
available
and
for
debt
service.
You
obviously
want
that
to
go
down
because
you
don't
want
to
be
spending
most
of
your
money
on
debt
all
right.
G
G
What
page
one
shows
you
all
of
this
four
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars
the
total
breakdown
to
what
we
do
with
the
four
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars.
What
I
did
is
highlighted
a
few
lines,
so
we
can
go
over
them.
Okay,
the
real
estate
tax
I
have
that
highlighted.
On
top
so
far,
we've
collected
131
million
dollars
in
our
real
estate
tax.
How
many
people
on
the
house
here
woo
how
many
people
rent
on
rent
all
of
you
play
that
tax?
G
Don't
think
you
don't
because
you
rent
you
just
don't
pay
it
directly.
You
probably
pay
to
your
landlord
and
he
gives
it
to
us.
Okay,
yeah,
all
right.
If
you
look
at
the
first
line,
which
is
real
estate
tax
and
the
way
I
do
things
is
a
little
different.
A
lot
of
people
in
our
in
our
department
compare
last
year
to
this
year,
and
you
know
they
do
it
that
way.
I!
Do
it
a
little
different
if
you
can
see
where
I
have
the
percentage,
the
budget
a
percentage
highlighted?
G
Okay,
if
you
can
see
the
real
estate
went
on
top
we're
already
at
90
percent
over
90%
of
that
budgets.
Already
in
okay
right
now,
this
report
was
ran
as
as,
if
at
the
end
of
August
of
this
year,
so
roughly
we
should
have
66
to
68
percent
of
those
budgets
in
so,
as
you
go
down
the
list,
okay,
most
of
them
should
be
66
or
above
we're.
Gonna
concentrate
on
another
big
one.
Is
the
earned
income
tax?
That's
forty
one,
four
one,
one!
G
G
Hospitals,
universities,
churches,
synagogues,
schools,
okay,
so
131
million
is
pretty
pretty
good
and
I.
Think
by
the
end
of
the
year,
we're
not
only
gonna
reach
the
136
I
think
we're
gonna
do
about
140,
just
with
modest
mccain's,
okay,
and
it
and
I
also
have
highlighted
41
for
41
on
page
1
and
that's
the
payroll
prep
tax.
G
That
tax
will
be
fine
and
if
you
go
all
the
way
down
to
the
bottom
of
page,
one
for
the
440
million
we're
already
at
78%,
and
we
have
four
months
to
go
so
we're
doing
really
really
well
really
well
collecting
taxes.
Okay.
Now,
if
you
go
to
the
next
page,
I
just
kind
of
highlighted,
these
are
the
non
tax
revenues
from
here
on
out
or
non
tax
revenues,
and
you
can
see
they
consist
of
Licensing's
of
fees
permits.
You
know
building
permits
things
like
that.
G
If
you
go
to
the
next
page
charges
and
services-
and
these
are
all
stuff
that
you
probably
get
permits
for
and
things
of
that
nature,
oh
and
if
you
go
to
the
front
page
of
the
tax
once
why
I
forgot
to
say
something,
this
front
page
attacks
you
on
here,
four
or
five
times,
believe
me,
you
go
to
the
ballgames.
You
go
to
the
movies
right.
G
You
porked
everybody!
Somebody
parked
down
here
right
so
you're
on
here,
just
because
it
doesn't
think
you're
on
here,
you're
on
you're
somewhere,
somehow
some
way.
Okay,
so
I
think
it's
marvelous
with
molly's
done
to
get
you
guys
to
know
exactly
who's
paying.
What
and
where
your
money's
going
to
it's
great
I
wish
they
had
this
20
years
ago.
G
G
If
you
look
on
45
501,
thus
the
the
tax
that
Pat
was
talking
about
the
sly
tax,
thanks
to
Mayor
Peduto
and
his
chief
of
staff
member
Kevin
Ahmed,
they
were
able
to
get
that
10
million
released,
which
is
a
which
was
it
took
a
long
time.
Look
it
took
a
while
to
get
that
10
million
released
to
come
to
us.
G
So
if
you
look
all
the
way
at
the
bottom,
all
the
way
at
the
bottom,
where
you
see
the
general
fund,
which
we
already
have
four
hundred
million
to
date,
which
is
73
percent
of
the
budget,
which
is
really
good
since
we
have
four
months
ago
and
you
should
be
around
66
to
68
percent,
so
we're
doing
fantastic
one.
Other
thing
I
wanted
to
tell
you
about
this.
Together,
that's
five
hundred
and
forty
five
million.
G
G
It's
a
lot
of
money!
We
collect
people,
don't
think
it's!
We
collect
a
lot
of
money.
That's
a
lot
of
money
and
here's.
The
breakdown
real
estate
tax
makes
up
26%
the
earn
income,
17%
parking
taxes,
big
10%,
you
guys
paid
into
that
some
of
you
today,
the
payroll
prep
tax,
that's
employers
play
that,
and
the
revenues
charges
for
services
and
other
and
if
you
notice
real
estate
tax,
takes
up
all
12
of
the
smaller
taxes
combined
our
real
estate
taxes,
our
biggest
driver
for
money
for
path
to
do
this
day.
G
G
Here's
the
school,
the
city
and
the
school
realities
is
the
schools
as
a
hundred
and
forty
million.
If
you
add
the
136
on
F
page
one,
the
current
year
in
the
prior
year,
you'll
get
about
a
hundred
forty
me
as
we
go
further
down.
Please
please
remember:
the
city
does
not
set
the
property
taxes.
So
when
you
call
less
screaming
and
shouting
it's
not
us,
it's
the
county
that
does
the
assessments,
okay
and
I.
Think
there
are
it's
coming
up,
I
think
another
one's
coming
up
pretty
soon
yeah,
so
the
county
does
the
assessments.
G
If
you
pay
your
own
taxes,
you
should
try
to
take
advantage
of
this
discount.
This
is
just
one.
I
have
two
more
to
show
you,
but
this
is
this
one
discount.
If
you
come
in
in
February
10th,
you
get
two
percent
off
your
total
bill,
or
two
percent
off
that
particular
payment
that
you
want
to
make.
Okay,
if
you
pay
your
own
taxes
and
I
suggest
that
you
come
in
early
to
take
advantage
of
the
two
percent.
G
G
J
J
I
G
J
Can
see
what
what
information
is
available
from
the
county?
The
lot
and
block
the
address,
the
neighborhood?
You
can
see
the
last
sale
date,
the
last
sale
price,
the
number
of
liens
that
are
on
there.
So
that's
you
know
they're
delinquent,
so
they've
had
liens
placed
on
the
house
and
then
this
is
the
County
Assessor.
They
take
pictures
right.
So
you
can
do
this
for
all
the
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
That's
a
useful
yeah.
G
G
G
This
is
a
great
great
great
program.
If
you're
a
first-time
buyer,
you
know
anybody
who
wants
to
buy
a
house.
Okay,
the
three
TVs
sales
city
of
property,
two
city-
tastes,
okay,
Pass!
Can
we
pull
up
the
list
for
you?
This
is
one
of
those
streamlined
things
that
we
did
also,
for
example,
I
bought
my
first
house,
my
starter
house
from
the
city
for
$3,000,
put
10,000
in
into
it.
My
wife
and
I
lived
in
it
for
10-15
years.
G
It
was
great,
so
you
know
a
young
couple
or
somebody
wants
to
get
a
starter
home
or
somebody
who's
interested
in
buying
property.
This
is
a
great
way,
very,
very,
very
good
way,
just
think
about
it
and
I
smoked
myself
up
salad
to
hit
every
time
called
30
years
ago,
not
30.
Maybe
25
years
ago,
I
had
the
opportunity,
through
the
city,
to
buy
a
house
in
Lawrenceville.
L
G
You
know
how
domed
right
right
so,
when
you
think
about
these
properties
right,
try
to
think
futures
right.
Think
of
where
do
you
think
the
development
is
going
to
go
cuz?
You
know
how
our
city
works
they
develop
here.
They
stop
right,
they
jump
all
the
way
over
here.
Develop
deer,
stop
right,
so
think
about
futures
when
you
think
of
these
houses,
okay
and
somebody's
house
is
all
in
some
nice
neighborhoods
already.
G
G
J
Have
his
email
address
later?
Yes
yeah,
so
this
is
another
new
tool.
Yes,
I
mean
the
Department
of
innovation,
performance
and
Finance.
I've
really
been
on
the
ball
this
year.
So
this
is
called
a
properties
plus
will
show
you
how
to
get
to
the
links
we
have
a
reference
later
as
well.
So
again
you
have
a
map
you
can
zoom
in.
J
You
know,
let's
see,
what's
in
Troy
hell
all
right,
so
these
properties
green,
is
vacant
land
that
the
three
taxing
bodies
owned
jointly
and
again
the
city
is
that
acts
as
the
trustee
for
these
properties.
So
yes,
the
county
and
school
district
owned
it
in
conjunction
with
the
city,
but
the
city
is
the
one.
Our
real
estate
division
is
the
one
who's
showing
it.
You
know
clearing
the
titles
working
with
people
to
go
through
the
process,
to
figure
it
out.
So
you
know
we
can
click
in
okay.
This
is
a
building
right
here.
J
One
five:
three,
eight
Hatteras
Street
no
picture
all
right,
but
you
know
you
can
click
through
and
get
some
information
on
the
full
details
with
what's
going
on
again,
this
is
similar
information
to
what
you
saw
in
bird's
eye
view
from
the
county
assessment
page
and
the
city
databases.
But
you
know
you
can
get
through.
You
can
click
through
to
the
county,
real
estate
record.
G
So,
let's
know
right
back
and
right
now,
what's
even
great
about
this,
also
there's
a
side
yard
program.
If
you
want
to
extend
your
own
property,
say,
there's
a
fifty
lot.
Besides
your
house,
it
only
cost
you
200
dollars
to
get
that
lot.
If
you
want
to
make
your
own
lot
bigger,
but
it
has
to
be
beside
your
house,
you
can't
get
the
lot
down
the
street
okay.
G
G
G
J
G
Some
salt,
so
those
two
things
in
itself
takes
a
while.
Then,
if
there's
two
or
more
people
that
takes
a
little
bit
of
time,
the
side,
your
thing
is
fast:
that's
fast,
yeah,
that's,
maybe
two
three
months
for
the
side.
Your
thing,
that's
especially
if
nobody
else
is
interested,
but
you
now,
if
you
have
a
neighbor
on
your
other
side,
that
wants
a
little
then
it's
a
longer
process.
These.
G
Yes,
they
go
through
council
approval,
which
they
approve
them
like
99%
of
the
time.
The
only
reason
they
won't
approve
them-
and
this
happened
to
me
once
too,
when
I
brought
my
little
house
in
Homewood
living
home
little
house
know
what
the
URA,
which
is
powerful,
they're
powerful.
They
start
buying
the
Lots
beside
the
other
Lots
okay.
So
they
stop
me
from
getting
my
side
yard
cuz
a
you
are
a
wanted
my
whole
block
over
here,
because
they
want
to
do
new
developments,
see
yes,
the
you
are
a.
G
They
buy
little
parcels
out
of
time,
but
until
they
connect
them
all
together
because
they
don't
like
to
do
one
house
at
a
time
they
do
projects,
so
they
need
a
hold
on
okay.
This
is
the
self-assess
tax.
The
earn
income
tax
is
the
breakdown.
If
you
got
a
job,
you
pay
that
right.
You
pay
that
your
employer
plays
that
you
better
the
ball
games.
G
You
play
that
people
report
to
you
today
pay
this
okay,
so
you
can
see
there's
a
lot
of
taxes
here
that
you
might
not
realize
that
you're
paying,
but
you
really
are
all
right.
The
earn
income
tax
in
this
is
to
breakdown
in
your
income
tax.
This
is
what
we
expect
out
of
a
91
million
city
residents,
only
1%
to
the
city
school
board.
Mr.
revenue
breakdown,
sharing
of
it
at
3%
and.
G
D
G
Second
of
all,
you
miss
a
couple
of
Jordan
payments,
they're,
going
really
soccer
to
you.
Okay,
if
you're
having
problems
with
your
taxes,
come
talk
to
us,
we'll
make
arrangements
we'll
try
our
best
to
do
all
right.
This
is
a
breakdown
of
what
you
would
pay.
If
you
had.
Let's
just
use
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
house,
for
example,
they
aren't
getting
home,
would
be
three
three
thousand
your
school.
Your
city
tax
would
be
twelve.
G
Fifty
your
school
tax
would
be
seventeen
fifty
one
hundred
thousand
dollar
house,
and
this
is
the
other
breakdown
of
what
it
would
be
an
asset
value.
This
is
what
the
asset
value,
what
the
county
puts
on
your
house.
Okay,
the
county
assessors
put
on
your
house,
okay,
expenditures,
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
path
was.
J
Actually,
how
about
we
take
a
break?
I
realized
that
I
didn't
even
show
you.
My
budget
I
will
say
that
you
know
like
I
said
earlier.
The
final
budget
is
passed
by
the
City
Council
I.
Think
our
mayor's
budget
has
a
better
cover.
It's
usually
more
visually
appealing,
but
I
think
this
is
pretty
good.
So,
basically,
if
you
you
know,
when
you
find
the
budget,
it's
all
on
PDF
or
in
PDF
version
online.
There
are
some
really
good
resources
for
you
to
learn
about.
J
J
You
know
what
that
means
that
when
revenues
come
in,
we
mark
them
and
then
when
we
pay
it
out,
that's
an
expenditure.
Our
fiscal
year
is
the
calendar
year.
You
know,
as
per
our
home
will
charter.
We
have
to
have
an
operating
budget
that
is
balanced
and
then
it
goes
into
more
detail
about
the
fund
structure
budget
allocations.
How
we,
you
know,
dig
down
from
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
into
the
51
sub
class,
which
is
salaries
and
wages
and
then
five
one
one
zero
one
is
specifically
regular
wages.
J
J
So
then
you
get
into
the
departments,
it's
not
very
easy
to
see,
but
you
have
just
details,
you
know,
goals
narratives
and
then
you
get
into
numbers,
so
I
know
that's
that
could
be
intimidating
to
some,
but
we
try
to
make
it
as
easy
to
read
as
possible.
So
whenever
you
have
a
second
definitely
got
a
go
through
it
we'll
make
sure
Molly
sends
out
the
link
to
both
the
capital
and
operating
budget
and
like
I,
was
mentioning
earlier
to
you.
J
The
debt
schedules
are
all
listed,
so
you
can
see
you
know
how
much
interest
we
have
to
pay,
how
much
principal
we
have
to
pay.
You
know
here's
the
letter
about
our
pension
funding
and
meeting
our
MMO,
the
who
minimal
municipal
obligations,
so
I'll
just
pass
this
around.
If
you
want
to
glance
at
it
while
I'm
talking
my
tabs
are
for
iymp
finance
and
personnel,
because
I
was
an
analyst,
those
are
the
departments
I'm
responsible
for
so
you
just
want
to
pass
it
all
right.
So
now,
Chuck
has
raised
all
our
money.
J
So,
let's,
let's
spend
at
all.
Where
does
your
money
go
so
in
the
2017
operating
budget,
the
biggest
component
is
in
salaries.
So
that's
wages,
that's
premium
pay,
and
you
know
it
makes
sense.
Police
and
fire
make
up
the
majority
of
the
city
work
for
us,
so
the
majority
of
the
salaries
are
going
to
go
towards
Public
Safety.
To
keeping
you
safe
can't
argue
that
that's
a
bad
thing
salaries
make
up
the
biggest
component
of
our
operating
budget
it.
J
The
second
is
benefits
healthcare
pension,
we're
on
you
know,
and
workers
compensation
are
the
biggest
components
of
that.
The
third
is
debt
service,
which
here
you
see
for
this
year,
is
16%.
In
2019
we
hit
what
we
call
the
debt
cliff,
we're
an
old
set
of
bonds
will
be
paid
off,
so
that
number
will
drop
significantly.
J
For
you
know,
whoever
is
processing
our
health
care
administration
for
the
team
that
talks
to
us
about
our
wellness
benefits
and
whether
you
know
we're
meeting
best
practices
and
things
like
that
and
like
I,
said
earlier,
however
much
moly
spending
on
paper,
you
know
that's
in
this
category
of
other
yeah.
Well
yeah.
She
does
not
use
a
lot
of
paper
as
far
as
I
can
tell
so.
Another
way
to
split
up
the
operating
budget
is
by
service
area.
J
You
know
so,
last
time
we
had
it
in
the
previous
slide,
based
on
what
what
the
expenditure
was.
But
this
is
gonna,
be
where
it's
going
so
the
categories
are
Public
Works,
that's
going
to
be
garbage,
that's
going
to
be
salt
in
the
wintertime
recycling.
That's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
the
labor.
That's
performed
around
the
city
and
just
in
keeping
everything
smoothly
running
general
government
is
the
biggest
component
and
I'll
get
into
that
in
a
second,
because
it's
really
the
leftovers
of
the
other
categories.
J
Public
Safety,
is
37%
of
our
operating
budget
and
if
you
look
in
this
chart
that
breaks
down
that
37%
so
of
that
police's
18.3%
fires
14
as
3.8
Public,
Safety
Administration,
which
manages
all
of
the
above,
is
1.2
an
animal
excuse
me,
animal
can't
control
is
0.3.
So
it's
one
of
this.
It's
a
smallest
Public
Safety
Department,
but
it
is
certainly
one
of
the
most
important.
If
you
have
a
raccoon
running
around
your
house,
City
Council
in
the
city
clerk's
office
at
the
bottom
are
just
a
tiny
little
fraction.
J
That's
most
of
what
they
do
is
you
know
is:
is
their
time
as
opposed
to
spending
money
to
get
things
done.
You
know
this
is
what
the
councilmember
is
meeting
with
community
groups
actually
having
meetings
on
Tuesdays
and
Wednesdays
they're,
not
spending
as
much
money
as
as
facilitating
it
with
you,
the
public
and
then
so.
The
general
government
is
everything
else,
so
the
Department
of
Finance
Wow,
don't
even
know
my
own
office
Office
of
Management
and
Budget.
J
J
J
Services
thanks
ray
you
know,
Parks
and
Recreation.
There
are
some
smaller
departments
like
the
Citizen
Police
Review
Board,
the
Ethics
Board,
the
law
department,
etc.
So
there
are
ten
bargaining
units
for
our
employees.
I
can
never
tie
them
off
the
top
of
my
head,
so
I
brought
a
cheat
sheet.
One
would
be
non-union.
There's
a
police
union,
the
fire
union
PJ
CBC,
which
are
you
know,
technical
technical
positions,
refuse
Teamsters
asked
me
local
2037
is
your
Foreman.
You
know
your
blue
collar
jobs.
Req.
J
Excuse
me
recreation,
teachers,
school
guards
asked
me
2719
is
your
white
collar
positions
and
paramedics.
So
we
have
to
do
a
lot
of
negotiations
with
with
our
bargaining
units
which
can
be
challenging,
but
it's
it's
always
interesting.
That's
for
sure
there
are
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
eight
full-time
city,
employee
positions
budgeted
this
year
in
2017
there
are
892
budgeted
police
officers.
J
This
year,
626
Public
Works
employees,
including
193
environmental
service
employees
who
do
trash
and
recycling
and
fifty
seven
full-time
Parks
employees,
plus
over
300,
part-time
and
seasonal
employees,
who
are
your
lifeguards,
your
rec
teachers,
your
Schenley
Park,
Zamboni
drivers,
your
roving
art
cards,
your
Summer
Food,
Program
staff
and
many
more.
This
is
real
price.
The
assistant
director
for
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
she's,
my
boss,
so
I
gotta,
be
on
my
best
behavior,
but
she's
gonna
fill
in
and
talk
about
the
capital
budget.
Yeah.
I
And
just
a
disclaimer
okay
I
deal
with
the
operating
side,
so
I'm
just
filling
in
for
one
of
our
co-workers,
who
was
supposed
to
be
here
tonight,
but
couldn't
so
but
anyway,
this
is
a
copy
of
our
library
copy
of
the
capital
budget.
So
please
don't
take
it
I.
Give
it
back
so
feel
free
to
pass
that
along
and
and
just
I'd
go
through
it
so
I'm
before
I
get
into
this
I
want
to
talk
about
the
main
differences
between
an
operating
budget
and
the
capital
budget.
Does
anybody
want
to
chime
in
okay?
I
I
mean
okay,
I
like
to
make
a
comparison
to
my
own
personal
life,
okay,
so
the
city's
operating
capital
budget?
If
I
look
at
my
own
life
I
can
think
of
my
operating
budget.
I
use
my
paycheck
to
pay
for
things
like
my
clothes,
my
food,
my
rent
things
like
that.
So
that's
my
personal
operating
budget.
So,
if
I
had
a
capital
budget,
that
would
be
things
like
my
mortgage
payments,
my
car
payment,
okay,
so
things
that
you
have
to
pay
for
on
a
day
to
day
basis.
You
usually
you
know,
use
that.
I
You
know
your
salary
to
pack
things
that
you
like,
that
are
large
expenses
that
you
have
to
pay
for
over
a
long
period
of
time,
you
usually
take
out
a
loan
for
those
expenses
and
it's
the
same
thing
with
the
city,
so
the
capital
budget-
okay,
let's
let's
talk
about
what
a
capital
project
is
all
right.
Well,
first
of
all
it's
any
project
funded
by
capital,
mine
by
public
money,
and
it's
the
project
is
designed
to
it's.
It's
a
design-build
restorer
retain
or
purchase
any
city-owned
asset.
It's
expected
to
provide
a
long-term
public
benefit.
I
The
minimum
value
is
supposed
to
be
fifty
thousand
dollars.
There
are
definitely
instances
where
there
are
projects
or
capital
expenses
that
are
under
fifty
thousand
dollars.
The
minimum
useful
life
should
be
five
years
so
for
the
most
part,
most
of
our
vehicles
are
considered
double
they're
paid
for
through
our
equipment,
leasing,
Authority,
but
they
can
be
considered
capital
expenditures
because
most
of
our
vehicles
do
have
a
useful
life
of
over
five
years.
I
I
I
Okay,
now,
how
do
we
fund
these
projects?
There's
four
main
categories.
The
first
as
I
mentioned,
is
through
municipal
bonds,
the
second
category
and
one
that
you
may
have
been
hearing
a
lot
about
over
the
past
year,
because
you
know
fear
that
we
will
be
using
losing
this
funding,
but
that's
Community,
Development
Block,
Grant
pay-as-you-go
funding.
That
is
basically
money
that
we
transfer
from
the
operating
budget
to
the
capital
program
to
to
fund
some
capital
expenses.
That
may
not
be.
I
Now,
how
do
we
choose
these
projects?
Now?
We
do
have
a
committee,
it's
okay,
help
me
out
here.
If
you
remember
the
CPF
see
the
capital
project
facilitation
committee
did
I,
get
it
right.
Okay,
all
right!
So
there's
a
committee
made
up
of
their
people
from
City,
Council
they're
from
people
from
Public,
Works,
the
controller's
office
and
and,
of
course,
our
capital
budget
team.
So
they
get
together.
They
assemble
all
these
projects
and
they
rank
them,
and
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
they
rank
them
on.
I
So
high
on
the
list
is
projects
that
will
resolve
an
imminent
threat
to
public
or
employee
safety
or
health,
so
those
receive
top
priority
then.
Secondly,
anything
that
achieves
compliance
with
federal
or
state
mean
the
state
statutory
mandates,
three
to
levered
leverage,
additional
non
city
funds
and,
on
you
know,
there's
eight
different
criteria
that
every
different
project
is
measured
on,
and
this
is
just
a
slide
to
go
over
the
capital
budget
process.
It's
I
believe
that
yeah
there
was
a
flowchart
for
the
operating
budget
process.
So
it's
very
similar.
You
know
the
mayor.
I
He
proposed
a
set
of
priorities
and
then
based
the
capital
budget
team.
They
have
some
public
hearings
and
meetings
with
residents
to
discuss
their
priorities
and
discuss
possible
projects
and
then
based
on
the
mayor's
priorities
in
the
residence
priorities,
departments
will
actually
submit
capital
budget
capital
project
proposals
and
then
that
goes
to
the
CPF,
see
they
evaluate
it
and
they
make
some
recommendations
for
the
mayor.
I
So
then
yeah
so
tomorrow,
our
capital
budget
team
they're
going
to
be
giving
the
mayor
what
they're
proposing
to
funds
and
then
you
know
he'll
go
through
and
decide
what
he
wants.
You
know
if
they
meet
his
priorities
and
then
the
plan
will
get
a
will,
get
amended
and
approved
by
City
Council
yeah
I.
Think
that
Patrick
didn't
mention
this.
What
our
office
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
submits?
That's,
not
the
final
project.
It
goes
to
City
Council.
They
make
minor
tweaks
here
and
there
nothing
substantial.
J
Want
to
highlight
and
plug
the
resident
evaluation
component
of
this
I
know.
Our
capital
team
would
be
angry
if
I
didn't
so
every
summer.
Before
this,
this
process
really
kicks
into
high
gear.
Our
capital
team
holds
the
capital
capital,
deliberative
forums,
they're,
always
in
two
neighborhoods
in
two
different
districts
around
the
city.
This
year
there
was
one
in
Brookline
and
one
in
Shadyside,
and
that's
really
where
you
as
citizens,
can
come
in
and
give
your
input
as
to
what
what
problems
you're
facing
in
your
neighborhood.
J
It's
it's
much
more
hyperlocal
than
then
you
know
the
generic
paved
my
road,
you
know
so
I
went
at
the
time.
I
lived
in
Mount,
Washington
and
I
told
them
that
people
were
speeding
down.
Grandview
Avenue,
so
I
wrote
that
on
my
comment
sheet-
and
they
you
know,
they
took
it
into
consideration
whether
or
not
it
gets
funded,
we'll
see,
but
I
no
longer
lived
there,
but
it's
definitely
a
good
a
great
way
for
you
to
get
involved
and
increase
your
civic
engagement
and
participation.
J
This
year
they
had
representatives
from
a
lot
of
interesting
departments
on
director.
Kennedy
was
there
from
PLI
director
Pizzuti
was
there
from
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
Director
Gasol?
Was
there
from
planning
and
they're
just
there
to
answer
your
questions
about?
You
know
the
different
types
of
money
and
what
sort
of
projects
are
going
on
status
of
current
projects
etc
and.
I
J
I
And
this
slide
just
shows
you
how
to
read
the
capital
budget.
So
after
Tom
this
will
be
the
functional
area
facility
improvements,
the
project
type,
the
responsible,
Department
and
there
could
be
multiple
responsible
departments
and
the
project
manager
is
and
then
we'll
show
you
the
different
sources
of
funding
for
that
project
and
then
a
six-year
plan.
That's
one
of
the
main
differences
between
the
capital
budget
and
the
operating
budget.
They
have
had
a
six
year
plan
where
its
operating
budget.
We
only
have
a
five-year
plan.
I
Justification
ending
impacts,
potential
impact
on
the
operating
budget
and
then
prior
year's
unexpended
funds,
and
then
the
other
page
will
have
a
list
of
deliverables
that
they
are
supposed
to
be
ended.
That
project
and
then
there's
a
lovely
gif
map
that
shows
the
locations
of
that
project
and
it
could.
I
All
right
and
now
we're
just
gonna
have
like
a
little
work
session,
so
I'm
gonna
hand
out
an
exercise.
I'm
gonna
have
Emily
print
it
out
like
12
copies
of
this,
so
I'm
gonna.
Have
you
get
into
groups
of
five
and
I'm
gonna?
Give
you
about
10
minutes
and
I'll.
Wait
till
now
what
this
is?
Okay,
it's
a
very
simplified
capital.
Budgeting.
A
D
D
So
I
mean
we:
we
tried
to
look
at
places
that
the
places
that
where
we
could
cut
that,
we
could
think
that
the
that
local
community
could
fund
fund
more
with
like
local
projects
and
maybe
trying
to
get
some
private
investors
for
so
we
attacked
pools,
parks
and
sing
here
so
headers
spray
parks,
playground
improvement.
We
slash
that
by
eighty
percent.
It
was
like
around
13
million
and
we
cut
that
way
back
to
make
this
budget.
I
D
Were
so
we
was
gonna,
end
up
being
street,
paving
and
bridge
repair,
and
also
we
were
thinking
about
hillside
prevention
being
in
Mount
Washington
we've
seen
a
lot
of
landslides
on
that
giant
mountain
of
lead.
So
we
would
like
we'd
like
to
see
that
not
happen,
and
that's
I
mean
that's
really
really
we
got.
We
were
stuck
on
bike
infrastructure.
It's
really
big
out
here
right
now,
so
we
didn't
know
how
much
to
cut
that
and
then
ran
out
of
time.
Okay,.
K
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone.
This
is
the
capital
budget
exercise
which
means
like
this
is
about
accumulating
new
equipment,
not
necessarily
maintaining
what
you
have.
So
when
we
were
prioritizing
we
death,
we
thought
about
the
city,
our
experiences
in
it
and
what
sort
of
line
item
that
we
wanted
to
really
throw
money
at.
No,
obviously,
we
couldn't
give
everyone
what
they
were
asking
for.
So
we
tried
to
prioritize
and
I
think
there
was
a
strong
pull.
The
saying
like
street
paving
in
the
city
is
extremely
important.
K
It
makes
sense
that
they
wanted
20
million
dollars,
so
we
gave
them
the
largest
portion
of
that
7
million
dollars
for
building
improvements
we
offered
up.
They
won
a
ten,
we
offered
up
three
million
for
we.
We
skipped
park
reconstruction,
it
wasn't
at
the
top
of
anyone's
agenda
and
we
went
on
with
the
hillside
preservation,
which
is
extremely
important
in
the
topography
of
Pittsburgh,
and
we
offered
them
2
million
of
their
4
million
the
local
match.
Of
course
it
took
3
million
from
the
20
million
budget,
so
there
was
no
negotiating
there.
K
Streetlights
extremely
important.
Some
parts
of
Pittsburgh
are
rather
still
rather
dark
at
night,
and
it's
important
that
we
have
streetlights,
we
couldn't
give
them
2
million.
We
offered
them.
One
recreation
is
seniors:
oh
I'm,
sorry,
demolition
of
vacant
property,
not
not
a
top
priority
because
of
the
real
estate
market
in
Pittsburgh.
Right
now,
it's
it's
very
hot,
so
we
offered
them
half
you
know.
Keeping
up
with
the
market.
Recreationist
senior
said
centers
and
pool
reconstruction.
K
We
didn't
unfortunately,
perceive
that
as
being
a
top
priority
right
now,
but
I'm
small
business
support
was
seen
as
important,
so
we
gave
them.
1
million
spray
parks
also
fell
to
the
wayside
bridge
repair.
We
gave
1
million
and
the
bike
infrastructure
we
gave
$500,000,
which
might
not
have
totaled
everything,
but
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
time.
So,
ok,
ok,.
E
E
We
also
talked
about
how
some
of
the
things
that
are
like
newer
types
of
investment
like
the
bike
is
newer.
It's
it's
harder
almost
to
argue
for
keeping
those
things
in
the
budget
that
are
that
are
newer,
but
we
did
kind
of
take
the
approach
of
saying.
Well.
If
we
cut
everything,
just
a
straight
percentage
cut,
but
then
we
adjusted
it
a
little
bit
so
like
street,
paving
got
40
percent.
E
E
C
Okay,
our
group,
we
did
not
fund
everything,
so
Reader's
Digest
version
we
funded
street,
paving
at
50
percent
at
ten
million,
and
we
did
streetlights
at
1.5
million
demolition
of
vacant
properties,
five
hundred
thousand
recreation
and
senior
centers
at
a
million
small
business
support.
We
funded
them
totally
at
two
million
because
we
figured
that
would
provide
revenue
back
bridge
repair
figured
was
really
important
along
with
our
street,
paving
like
infrastructure.
We
said
that
was
really
important,
so
we
funded
them
as
much
as
we
could.
C
The
reason
why
we
didn't
do
some
of
the
other
things
like
bike
infrastructure,
spray
parks,
pull
reconstruction,
we
figured.
Maybe
we
could
get
matching
funds,
private
funds,
things
of
that
nature,
so
we
just
stuck
with
the
maybe
infrastructure
type
things
or
things.
We
thought
we
would
get
our
money
back.
Basically,.
H
On
our
budget,
we
we
thought
from
a
consensus
of
everybody
that
was
involved
in
all
the
groups
that
needed
something
done
on
a
street,
paving
we
decided
to
give
five
hundred
five
million,
which
we
think
that
the
streets
helps
us
go
in
and
get
city
moving
and
and
priority
and
work
building
improvements.
We
put
two
million,
which
that's
going
to
help
sort
of
beautify
and
make
where
basically,
everyone's
living
and
change
their
mind
state
with
with
things
Parks
and
Recreation,
which
it's
a
new
movement.
H
H
We've
seen
that
as
less
of
a
priority,
so
we
did
make
sure
they
got
something
by
giving
them
five
hundred.
Okay,
as
you
know,
the
local
highway
projects,
that
was
three
million
streetlights.
That
was
also
something
that
wasn't
necessarily
priority,
but
we
still
made
sure
that
they
got
at
least
five
hundred
thousand
demolition
of
vacant
properties.
H
We
only
put
five
hundred
thousand
into
that,
because
we
believe
also
that
those
properties
can
also
become
an
asset
in
rehabbing
them.
Or
you
know
you
can't
tear
down
everything,
recreation
for
seniors
and
they're
sinners.
We
gave
five
hundred
thousand
because
it's
well-known
that
the
lottery
also
puts
a
lot
and
why
use
city
government
when
we
can
sort
of
divert
other
funds,
that's
coming
in
to
help
us.
You
know
so
that
I
figured
that
would
be
a
wiser
expenditure
of
our
money
polls.
H
Reconstruction
everything's,
going
more
to
the
water
parks
and
I
mean
they're
starting
to
phase
out
on
the
pools.
So
we
only
gave
500,000
to
that
small
business
support
and
that's
2
million,
because
in
most
communities
it's
going
to
stimulate
the
growth
and
a
lot
of
housing
markets
happening.
So
we
want
to
promote
more
small
business
owners,
spray
parks.
That's
so
like
the
new
end
thing
and
it's
efficient
and
it's
happening
actually,
there's
there's
funding
going
into
that.
So
we
gave
500k
to
that
bridge,
repair
which
is
being
funded
State
and
we
also
believe
in
it.
H
F
Our
group
we
gave
street
paving
four
and
a
half
million
building
improvements.
We
gave
him
three
hundred
three
million
actually
and
Park
Recreation.
We
didn't
think
that
was
important,
so
we
didn't
give
him
nothing
hillside
preservation.
We
gave
him
two
million
playground
improvements.
We
gave
him
one
101
million
streetlights.
We
gave
him
1
million
demolition
of
vacant
property.
We
gave
him
five
hundred
thousand
of
recreation
and
seniors
centers
we
gave
in
1
million
pool
rook
construction.
We
gave
him
7
750,000
small
business
support.
We
gave
him
1
million
spray
parks.
F
B
Put
a
public
safety
at
a
premium,
so
we
fully
funded
street
paving
with
ten
million
and
we
fully
funded
streetlights
with
two
million
and
the
demolition
of
vacant
properties.
You
know
rat
infestations
or
whatever
is
a
serious
problem,
so
we
funded
that
fully
at
2
million
and,
of
course,
bridge
repair.
People
have
to
get
to
work
and
we
funded
that
fully
at
2
million.
B
The
parks
are
important
to
people
in
Pittsburgh,
I
live
near
Frick
Park
and
on
the
weekends,
it's
very
crowded
and
there's
an
agreement,
I
believe
between
parks,
Conservancy,
right
and
in
the
city.
So
we
funded
that
at
five
five
hundred
thousand
and
we
have
a
growing
senior
population,
I'm
included
in
that
five
hundred
thousand.
We
funded
that
and
then
we
also
funded
a
small
business
support
at
five
hundred
thousand
and
then
we
dropped
to,
let's
see
again,
recreation
playground,
improvements
or.
