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
A
Welcome
everybody:
my
name
is
Molly
Onofre
and
I'm,
the
one
who
has
been
emailing
you
I,
am
the
coordinator
for
the
Civic
Leadership,
Academy
and
I
also
work
in
the
Office
of
Community
Affairs.
So
I'll
tell
you
guys
a
little
bit
more
about
what
our
office
does.
At
a
later
time.
You
and
I
will
be
together
for
11
weeks.
So
lucky
you
lucky
me:
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
a
few
little
housekeeping
things
so
I'm.
Sorry,
first
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
all
so
much
for
applying
to
CLA.
A
We
had
over
140
applicants
and
we
brought
together
this
wonderful
group
of
participants
from
all
over
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
You
guys
have
incredible
experiences
and
involvement
in
the
city
in
your
communities
in
nonprofits
and
in
service.
So
you
know
I
really
hope
that
you
take
advantage
of
the
time.
You
know
the
social
time
that
you
guys
have
together
to
really
share
each
other's
stories,
because
they're
all
very
cool
and
very
interesting
now
on
to
the
fun
housekeeping
things.
A
So
I
will
be
the
point
of
contact
for
you
for
the
next
11
weeks,
so
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me,
for
whatever
you
need,
we,
the
attendance
requirement,
is
you
are
required
to
attend
eight
of
the
first
ten
sessions.
The
11th
week
will
be
a
graduation
ceremony,
so
it's
a
little
bit
more
reception
style
rather
than
Klodt.
Like
you
know,
sitting
and
learning
from
the
department's
authorities
and
offices
from
the
city.
We
are
also
going
to
be
using
an
online
sort
of
like
an
online
community.
A
It's
called
slack
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
you
are
familiar
with
it
awesome,
so
you
guys
are
our
go-to
is
for
slack
our
tech
support,
so
I
will
be
sending
the
invitations
either
tonight
or
tomorrow
morning.
So
you
just
sign
up
with
your
first
and
last
name
and
there's
a
little
guide
in
your
binder.
That
shows
you
how
to
you
know
how
to
do
things
within
slack.
A
You
can
also
ask
me
next
week,
there's
also
what's
called
a
bot
which
is
sort
of
like
a
tiny
little
tour
guide
that
will
show
up
when
you
log
into
can
show
you
all
the
things
that
you
need
to
know
from
from
there.
The
schedule
is
also
in
your
binder.
This
is
I
did
find
out
at
the
eleventh
hour
this
afternoon
that
this
there
is.
A
There
are
two
that
may
change,
but
I
will
communicate
that
as
soon
as
possible
and
make
sure
that
that's
posted
on
slack
and
also
get
you
guys
a
hard
copy
at
the
next
meeting,
there's
also
a
quick
communication
sticker,
so
it
has
the
CLA
hashtag.
It
also
has
my
information,
the
website
for
the
slack
and
also
the
social
media.
For
my
office,
which
is
the
office
of
Community,
Affairs
I,
always
recommend
you
know
to
follow
us.
A
We
sort
of
keep
you
up
to
date
on
what's
going
on
in
the
city,
so
it's
always
just
another
great
resource
to
learn
about.
What's
what's
what's
happening,
if
you
have
not
done
your
vital
information,
like
your
emergency
contacts,
please
see
me
at
some
time
tonight
and
we
can
get
that
taken
care
of
or
email
me
and
I'll.
Send
you
the
link
again
in
if
there
are
the
last
thing,
I
say
before:
I
turn
it
over
is,
if
there's
an
issue
with
your
name
tag
or
you're,
not
satisfied
with
it.
A
B
A
A
A
D
Good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
do
I
need
to
use
this
because
you're
recording,
okay
I'd
prefer
not
to,
but
I
will.
So
it's
my
pleasure
to
welcome
you
this
evening
and
to
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
out
of
your
busy
lives
to
participate
in
local
government
and
sort
of
see
what
it
is
that
that
we
do
here.
The
mayor
will
be
along
shortly,
but
one
of
the
the
roles
of
the
council
president
is
to
get
to
cover
for
the
mayor
when
he's
running
a
little
bit
late
so
and
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
D
So
my
name
is
bruce.
Kraus
I
do
represent
the
3rd
Council
District
I
have
been
in
office
for
10
years
now.
Our
terms
are
four
years
hello,
but
District.
Three
people
and
Roy
again
you'll
all
get
to
know
Roy,
but
I'm
in
my
third
term.
I
have
two
more
years
to
finish
this
term
and
I
have
had
the
pleasure
of
being
elected
the
president
of
our
council
body
now
for
two
terms,
my
second
one,
which
will
end
in
January
the
council
reorganizes
into
a
year.
D
In
intervals
and
every
two
years
we
reorganize
assigned
committees
and
elect
our
president,
so
that
will
happen
in
January,
but
I
always
kind
of
like
to
get
a
sense
of
why
you've
come
to
do
the
Civic
Leadership
Academy,
because
I
mean
I
could
stand
up
here
and
I
could
sort
of
talk
about
what
I
think
you
want
to
hear,
but
I'm
more
interested
in
what
you
might
like
to
think.
You
would
get
out
of
your
participation
and
through
that,
perhaps
we
can
have
a
bit
of
a
conversation.
D
E
E
D
You
know
I
can't
think
of
a
more
important
time
to
be
engaged.
You
know
all
politics
is
local.
All
government
is
local.
What
we're
experiencing
on
a
national
scene
and
I
won't
get
too
far
afield,
but
I
think
we
probably
share
common
values
and
in
what
we
see
taking
place
in
the
nation.
These
days
is
probably
not
who
we
are
as
a
nation
and
and
I
can
appreciate.
D
When
those
kinds
of
things
happen,
the
desire
to
want
to
become
more
engaged
on
the
local
level,
where
one
finds
their
power,
and
so
I
mean
that
was
certainly
what
motivated
me
to
want
to
run
for
an
elected
office.
It
I
like
to
say,
I'm
a
complete
accident.
This
was
never
in
the
cards.
This
was
not
something
that
I
aspire
to
in
my
life.
I
went
about
my
daily
lives.
I.
You
know.
I
worked
in
the
restaurant
industry
for
much
of
my
life.
D
After
a
while
I
started,
a
business
I
had
an
interior
design
business
that
I
ran
for
about
25
years.
I
live
in
the
Southside
flats,
I
started
getting
locally
involved
in
our
community
council,
then
I
started
getting
involved
in
our
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
before
I
knew
it.
The
council
seat
had
opened.
This
is
over
a
five
six
seven
year
period,
but
the
council
seated
open
and
I
was
being
asked
to
run
for
public
office.
D
It
had
never
entered
my
mind
that
I
should
do
it,
but
there
was
a
sense
of
obligation
if
you
will,
or
duty
or
commitment
to
you
know,
leaving
the
world
a
better
place
than
what
I
had
found
it,
and
so
I
entered
the
world
of
public
service
and
it
was
everything
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
and
more
lost.
My
first
race
was
a
very,
very
difficult
loss
lost
by
about
150
votes.
I
would
rather
lost
by
1,500,
but
I
learned
a
lot.
D
It
is
truly
an
honor
to
know
that
people
took
the
time
to
engage
in
the
process
to
come
out
and
actively
engage,
support
and
say
this
is
who
we
want
to
speak
for
us
and
to
represent
us,
and
so
the
the
elected
members
that
I
know,
at
least
in
the
mayor's
office
and
in
the
council
office.
Take
that
obligation
incredibly
seriously
and
do
our
very
best
to
always
make
you
proud
and
act
in
your
very
best
interest
at
all
times.
D
Someone
else
tell
me,
please
why
you
might
have
thought
to
engage,
oh
and
not
Roy
I
knew
he
went
yeah.
This
guy
I
have
to
tell
you
this
because
he's
a
good
friend
his
name's
Roy
Blankenship,
and
he
is
a
constituent
that
I
represent
and
lives
in
one
of
our
hilltop
neighborhoods
and
he's
just
an
all-around
good
guy.
You're
gonna
get
to
know
I.
C
So
I
joined
mad
dad's
and
I
worked
for
hilltop
Alliance
now
and
and
the
changes
that
I'm
see
starting
to
make
in
the
community,
because
I
was
one
of
the
citizens
that
I
actually
walk
amongst
people
and
get
the
support
of
my
councilmen,
the
police.
It's
a
changing
thing
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
the
policies
under
me
and
learn
what
the
department's
actually
do
completely
to
be
a
better
leader
and
to
help
you
know,
bring
change
and
put
our
city
forefront.
Yeah
thanks.
G
D
And
a
lot
of
what
you're
going
to
learn
is
the
nuts
and
bolts
about
nuts
and
bolts
about
how
we
do
this.
You
know
it's
one
thing
you
know:
I
had
a
completely
different
mindset,
idea
impression.
Whatever
word
you
might
want
to
use
about,
what
government
does
or
does
not
do
until
I
actually
got
behind
the
scenes?
Allison
who
you'll
be
hearing
from
a
little
bit
later
on
in
the
evening,
I
think
will
share
a
common
experience
with
you.
D
And
so
yes
does
it
move
slowly
and
yes
does
it
take
time
it
does,
but
it
is
because
it
is
inclusive
and
it
is
far
reaching
and
out
reaching
and
in
that
inclusive
process
sometimes
does
slow
the
wheels,
but
it
makes
for
a
but
much
better
finished
and
final
product
when
it's
done
councils
primary
I'm.
Sorry
I'll
come
right
back
to
you
councils
primary
role
here
is
budgetary
in
nature.
We
oversee
the
purse,
we
oversee
the
expenditures
of
the
tax
dollars.
D
The
mayor
presents
the
budget
to
Council
the
council
reviews
those
expenditures
are
created
and
then,
as
those
expenditures
are
made,
they
come
before
the
council
on
a
weekly
basis
for
us
to
oversee
each
and
every
one
of
those
expenditures.
After
that
we're
a
legislative
body
and
we
create
again
through
a
democratic
process
the
laws
by
which
we
choose
to
govern
ourselves.
D
We
come
together
in
a
democratic
process
to
elect
our
leaders,
who
sit
in
a
democratic
process
by
majority
rule
to
craft
the
guidelines
by
which
we
will
conduct
ourselves
as
a
civilized
society,
and
then
after
that,
of
course,
its
constituent
services
and
I
can
get
into
that.
A
little
bit
I
won't
get
too
far
into
it,
but
as
long
as
the
merit
doesn't
come
with
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
councilman
constituent
services,
please
my.
H
D
May
be
the
first
to
say.
Thank
you.
Social
media
is
such
an
important
platform
and
I
can't
imagine
a
world
in
which
we
would
live
without
that
platform.
Now
that
we
have
it,
but
it
serves
both
good
and
it
serves
bad
and-
and
you
know,
and
and
I
always
like
to
argue
for
balance,
and
that
you
know
that
that
we
can't
we
can
stay
connected
and
we
can
share
thoughts
and
ideas,
but
we
can
do
it
in
a
constructive
and
contributory
manner.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
negative,
it
doesn't
have
to
tear
us
down.
D
It
can
actually
unite
us
in
a
very
good
way.
What
would
you
think
the
number
one
constituent
called
it
my
council
office
gets
and
I'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
my
council
office
in
a
minute.
Oh,
my
god
give
her
an
A+
you're,
my
golden
buzzer.
Are
you
watching
America's
Got
Talent
you're,
my
golden
buzzer?
It
is
the
number
one
call
to
console
office
gets
on
a
daily
basis:
waste
management,
waste
management,
no
matter
what
it
is,
the
number
one
issue.
What
do
you
think?
The
number
two
issue
is
that
we
get
I'm.
D
Sorry
potholes:
let's
expand
that
to
say
transportation,
and
so
then
I
will
include
that
to
be
roads,
infrastructure,
parking,
transportation,
mobility,
how
you
move
people
in
a
modern,
24/7
365
world.
That
is
absolutely
without
doubt.
My
number
to
call
that
we
get.
Council
offices
are
designed
by
population,
not
geography.
So
by
our
city
charter.
We
must
represent
within
1%
an
equal
amount
of
population
and
so
and
we
must
have
by
law,
to
minority
districts.
So
my
council,
our
archives
law
as
exists
in
about
33,000,
is
the
number
of
people
we
represent.
D
I
have
the
Southside
flats
I,
have
the
south
side
slopes,
I
have
Allentown
belts
over
in
Knoxville,
Mountain,
Oliver,
City,
st.
Clair,
Arlington,
Arlington,
Heights,
st.
Clair
Village,
not
Washington,
South
and
Central.
Oakland
is
what
defines
my
council
district
in
my
council
district.
We
imagine
about
17,000
students
living
off-campus
in
South
and
Central
Oakland
about
3,500
students,
living
off-campus
in
the
Southside
flats
and
now
well
into
the
south
side
slopes
and
really
going
into
Arlington.
So
of
my
33,000
I
get
about
20-ish
thousand.
There
are
students
living
off-campus
and
the
other
12
are
the
people.
D
That
call
me
about
the
students
living
off-campus.
That's
that's
our
lives
and
that's
what
we
deal
with,
but
keep
this
in
mind
too
and
I
was
speaking
to
a
younger
I
mean
I
was
in
say,
I
speaking
to
a
younger
audience
today
wipe
that
I
didn't
mean
that
there
were
a
group
of
Kappa
students
that
were
in
and
that
I
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
this
afternoon
and
lost
my
train
of
thought:
yeah,
I'm,
sorry,
yeah,
yeah,.
G
D
I
D
J
I
D
D
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
actively
working
with
is
Children's
Hospital
in
pediatric
care
and
wanting
to
find
ways
that
we
can
identify
children
that
are
prone
most
likely
to
lives
of
addiction
and
find
pediatric
care
in
ways
that
we
can
intervene
much
earlier
in
a
person's
life
as
opposed
to
waiting
until
we
have
to
send
out
our
first
responders
to
apply
narcan
as
they're
dying
in
the
street.
And
what
does
that
look
like,
and
how
do
we
achieve
that?
D
My
office
is
also
very
proud
to
sponsor
what
we
call
the
walk
for
recovery.
This
will
be
our
second
year
of
doing
so.
You
can
find
it
at
recovery,
walk
org,
anything
that
you
might
need
to
know
about
it,
but
we'll
be
marching
on
September
16th
at
9
a.m.
and
working
in
conjunction
with
the
governor's
office
and
the
Attorney
General,
and
many
state
elected
officials.
Our
mayor
locally,
here
in
my
council
office
and
numerous
organizations,
we
are
committed
to
sharing
the
telling
the
story
of
hope.
D
This
morning,
I
learned
that
I
represent
someone
I
represented,
my
council
district
died
last
night
of
an
overdose,
and,
and
so
we
want
to
be
as
active
as
we
can
be,
to
tell
the
story
of
recovery
and
that
addiction
is
not
necessarily
a
death
sentence,
although
it
is
a
terminal
and
chronic
illness
that
must
be
managed,
but
to
tell
the
story
of
hope
and
that
there
is
a
recovery
and
every
day
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
across
the
nation
celebrate
lives
that
are
happy,
sober
and
free,
and
that's
a
story.
That's
really
worth
telling.
B
Rick,
my
name
is
Rick
I'm
from
the
north
side.
It's
gonna
bring
guard
really
the
reason.
I
got
involved,
we're
going
through
well
what
it
looks
to
be
like
gentrification
coming
up
at
this
point,
moving
from
Deutsch
tearing
into
spring
garden,
which
is
good.
We
need
this.
The
hotel,
like
I've
watched
what's
going
on,
I,
belong
to
Spring
Garden
Council
Cass,
get
to
call
it
and
there's
some
problems
with
that.
Now
him,
but
things
are
moving
along
pretty
smoothly.
My
other
reason
is
that
I've
said
I'm.
B
D
D
B
D
Gentrification
is
a
huge
issue
right
now,
I
give
kudos
to
this
mayor
and
his
commitment
to
a
healthy
and
balanced
City.
You
know
there
he
I
watch
him
wrestle
with
this
every
day
and-
and
god
bless
him.
I
I,
don't
know
that
I
could
do
it
in
the
in
the
effective
way
that
he
does,
but
we
need
to
build
a
tax
base.
D
You
have
to
have
a
level
of
income
so
as
to
build
a
tax
base
to
have
the
fiduciary
ability
to
deliver
the
services
and
grow
a
city
and
yet,
at
the
same
time
balance
that,
without
with
the
understanding
of
not
leaving
the
least
among
us
behind,
and
how
do
we
make
certain
that
we
have
an
equitable
and
and
level
playing
field
encouraging
development?
But
you
know
also
making
certain
that
those
among
us
that
everyone
is
careful
and
has
an
equal
shot
equal
opportunity.
D
K
Graduated
from
Duquesne
three
years
ago,
I
love
this
city.
It's
you
know
it's
my
home
now,
and
so
the
reason
that
I
was
interested
in
this
is
because
I
have
the
time
and
the
ability
to
give
back
and
as
many
opportunities
as
there
are
for
that
I'm
I'm
willing
to
take
when
I
was
an
intern.
I
did
criminal
defense
mostly
for
juveniles.
That's
something
that
you
know
really
touched.
My
heart
I've
been
sick.
D
I
hope
what
you
find
by
having
this
common
experience
is
the
realization
of
this
wonderful
fabric,
this
quilt,
that
we
create
by
all
the
different
kinds
and
types
and
and
homogenized
sort
of
society
that
we
are
here
in
Pittsburgh
and
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
serve
this
incredibly
important
piece
of
that
puzzle.
And
we
are
what
makes
the
city
as
as
great
as
what
it
is,
and
you
play
is
an
important
role
in
this
city
as
I
do
as
Molly
does,
as
anyone
in
this
room
does
and
and
I
hope,
you'll.
D
L
What
you
were
talking
about,
that's
one
of
my
major
issues
is
housing
and
I
was
gone
from
Pittsburgh
for
almost
40
years.
I
came
back
and
everyone
said
moved
to
Lawrenceville,
it's
really
cheap.
You
know
you
can
find
a
great
apartment
for
300
a
month
and
coming
from
California
that
sounded
really
good.
L
L
But
we
really
need
I
was
saying
someone
before
if
I
leave
my
apartment,
there's
no
way
I
can
buy
here.
But
if
I
leave
my
apartment,
I'm
gonna
have
to
move
into
a
senior
high-rise.
I
will
never
be
old
enough
for
a
senior
high-rise
so
so
and
I'm
one
of
many
many
many
you
know.
I
took
early
retirement
because
I
couldn't
find
work
here.
No
soft
skills
being
bought
here,
and
so
my
issues
and
I'm
also
involved
with
Lawrenceville
United,
which
is
an
advocacy,
wonderful
organization.
I've
lived
in
a
number
of
states
and
cities.
L
I've
never
seen
a
group
like
this
and
I'm
involved
with.
What's
called
the
Advantage
program,
as
for
people
55,
plus
to
get
people
out
of
the
house
to
get
the
meeting
each
other
socializing
we've
parties
for
them,
we
have
a
party
for
them
this
weekend
at
Hambone's,
but
you
have
to
live
in
Lawrenceville
and
be
over
55.
L
D
One
of
the
things
you're
gonna
hear
about
and
I'm
gonna
take
an
opportunity
to
introduce
Allison,
Hardin
and
Allison
you're
gonna
hear
from
in
a
bit.
She
is
the
nighttime
economy
coordinator
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
what
does
that
mean?
What
that
means
is
is
that
the
city
has
come
to
the
realization
that
this
sort
of
social
economy
that
has
been
developing
now
for
several
decades
is
of
such
importance
that
we
need
to
be
out
in
front
of
it,
nurturing
it
and
helping
it
along.
D
You
saw
that
take
place
in
the
south
side
back
in
the
early
80s
to
the
mid
80s
how
a
food
and
beverage
economy
came
in
and
revitalized
these
Carson
Street
corridor
you're.
Seeing
that
happen
again
here
in
East
and
Lawrenceville,
forgive
me
that
a
food,
this
sort
of
experience
economy
as
we
like
to
call
it,
is
moving
in
and
changing
neighborhoods
good
and
bad
both,
but
there's
a
you
know,
there's
an
argument
to
be
made
for
both,
and
so
Allison
is
going
to
talk
to
a
little
bit
of
the
wisdom.
D
If
you
will
of
making
sure
that
we
embrace
those
changes
and
make
sure
that
they
are
instituted
to
their
highest
and
best
order,
and
so
you
know
how
do
we
do
that,
you
know
understanding
that
we
have
wisdom.
Keepers
I
happen
to
be
a
wisdom
keeper
here
in
the
city,
and
we
have
young
people
that
are
coming
in
we'd
like
to
call
them
non
millennial
generation.
D
But
then
how
do
we
find
this
commonality
between
the
two
generations,
I
like
to
say,
I'm,
not
here,
building
a
city
for
me
I'm
on
my
way
out
in
in
my
world,
in
this
world,
we're
building
a
city
for
the
the
twenty-something
and
even
younger,
that's
coming
into
the
city,
that's
going
to
inherit
the
city,
and
what
does
that
look
like,
and
what
do
they
want
to
see
this
city
be?
And
how
can
we
help
to
plan
for
that
strategy?
D
And
one
of
the
things
you'll
hear
from
Allison
is
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
this.
What
is
becoming
known
as
the
experience
economy,
where
younger
generations
are
more
interested
in
spending
dollars
on
the
experience?
What
does
that
mean
being
out
maybe
going
to
a
play
being
active
in
a
social
setting?
D
Perhaps
travel
vacation
as
opposed
to
material,
whether
it's
buying
a
house
buying
a
car
buying
clothes,
those
kinds
of
things,
and
so
how
does
Pittsburgh
make
certain
that
we
embrace
that
economy
and
prepare
for
for
that
shift
and
make
the
you
know
it
to
be
its
highest
and
best
use?
How
are
we
doing?
Am
I
okay,
that's
fine!
I!
Just
don't
want
to
you!
Don't
want
to
step
on
the
mayor's
toes
I
mean
if
he's
ready
out
okay.
M
M
One
of
the
things
and
I
was
felt
that
all
dated
even
to
speak
because
we
talk
of
garbage
and
this
gentleman
I
was
watching.
You
know
I
look
out
the
window,
so
I
can
yell.
Thank
you
when
the
garbageman
come
come
by
and
I
and
because
I
think
one
of
the
pieces
of
the
quilt
of
a
strong
city
and
also
the
trends
now
where
it's
not
it's
a
we're
recognized
always
been
a
fact,
but
we're
recognizing
that
working
people
are
very
important
and
work.
M
Work
is
work
and
it's
important
and
also
the
sort
of
trend
again
to
kind
of
focus
or
make
take
photographs
of
especially
men
or
fathers
of
color,
in
doing
something
good.
So
I
would
like
to
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
some
some
gestures
of
appreciation
or
even
focus,
because
I
was
once
in
I,
think
was
sort
of
a
lounge
or
a
bar
and
I
saw
some
women.
It
was
maybe
eight
or
nine
o'clock
and
I
saw
some
women
gathered
around
a
fellow
and
later
you
know
you
make
up
these
stories.
M
I
would
like
to
see
us
so
these,
ladies,
were
around
this
gentleman
knife
and
I
thought
he's
probably
going
to
a
night
job
and
there's
kind
of
creating
a
social
kind
of
atmosphere
so
that
when
he
goes
to
whatever
he's
doing,
maybe
it's
a
solitary
job.
You
know
he
has
this
thing.
So
I
thought
you
know.
People
like
this
have
something
to
teach
us
not.
You
know
we
don't
have
to
be
passionate.
What
you
know.
How
do
you
do
it?
How
do
you
get
up
at
five
o'clock
in
the
morning?
M
You
know
what
are
your
kids
doing
and
what
all
of
that
and
I
said.
That's
one
of
the
things
the
other
focus
I
personally
have
is
called
landlords
need,
love
to
and
be
that
landlords
that
are
owner-occupied
or
or
that
are
are
you
know
the
other
theory
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
I
would
like
to
see
is
for
the
all
the
all
the
agencies,
but
also
for
the
regulatory
like?
M
And
I
think
there's
something
called
like
defensive
remodeling
like
that
there
was
a
story
that
you
were.
You
were
quoted
where
there
were
two
houses,
yes
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
mentioned
here.
Is
it
with
drugs
and
it's
the
same
with
housing
is
early
alert
and
and
defensive
remodeling.
So
we
need
to
find
ways
to
if,
if
people
are
in
that
situation,
first
of
all,
as
early
as
possible,
either
like
there
was
sight,
said
something
like.
Oh,
the
taxes
went
unpaid
for
four
years
well.
First
of
all,
it
needs
to
be
looked
at.
D
M
D
So
something
that
I
would
take
out
of
this
conversation
and
hope
that
you'll
take
with
you
is
the
idea
of
educating
people
into
compliance
as
opposed
to
citing
people
into
compliance,
and
that
you
know
when
I
was
new
to
local
government
and
coming
in
and
I
thought.
That's
it.
Why
don't
you
know
why
don't
we
just
cite
people
and
that
will
change
behavior
and
it
doesn't
necessarily
change
behavior
but
I,
think
healthy
and
and
holistic
outreach
on
a
regular
basis
to
educate
people
into
compliance.
You'll
find
better
complaints
Allison.
What
does
Jim
always
say?
N
It's
a
really
important
statistics
to
a
lot
of
different
things.
It's
kind
of
a
general
number,
but
approximately
60%
of
the
people
can
be
influenced
in
one
direction
or
the
other.
So
you
have
20
percent
of
people
that
do
the
right
thing.
You
have
20
percent
of
the
people
that
that
don't
and
they
need
a
different
strategy.
But
you
have
this
middle
group,
the
60
percent
that
can
be
influenced
to
go
in
the
right
direction.
So
what
can
you
do
to
make
that
80
percent,
rather
than
just
20%
and.
D
D
We
can't
do
what
we
do
without
you
and
it's
very
difficult
for
you
to
do
what
you
need
to
do
without
us
and
so
there's
a
partnership
that
we
form
and
speaking
of
that
partnership,
the
the
mayor
just
walked
in
and
perhaps
he'll
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
partnership
between
the
mayor's
office
and
they
and
the
council
office
I'm
holding
down
the
fort
for
you.
Mr.
mayor,
we
we
talked
about
a
lot
of
stuff
already.
O
D
P
Hi,
my
name
is
Pat
I
live
in
Crafton
heights
and
my
passion,
I
guess,
is
home
in
creating
community
when
I
moved
to
Crafton
heights.
When
I
we
bought
our
home
in
Crafton
Heights
10
years
ago,
I
did
I
was
a
land
landlord
and
I
rented
the
second
floor
and
moved
my
parents
into
the
first
floor
and
since
then
my
husband
and
I
have
moved
to
the
second
floor.
P
Above
my
my
mom,
my
dad
had
passed
away,
and
so
we've
got
this
really
cool
thing
going
where
I
can
see
my
mom
every
day
and
I
can
take
care
of
my
mom
every
day
and
I.
By
the
way
she
does
great,
though
I
mean
she's
like
a
bad
teenager,
she's,
always
off
someplace.
So
but
I
am
really
interested
in
creating
community
like
I'm
the
kind
of
person
that
likes
to
bring
soup
to
my
neighbors
if
I
know
they're
sick
and
things
like
that
and
I've
had
some
success.
P
D
I'm
so
glad
you're
here
the
it's
this
it's
this
strength,
it's
the
foundation
of
Pittsburgh
and
who
we
are
and
these
little
pockets
of
community
that
we
build
and
each
one
interdependent
on
the
next
one
and
and
how
we
collectively,
as
I
said
earlier,
create
that
quilt
that
becomes
pittsburgh
and
wow.
The
national
discourse
might
be
saying
that
that
is
not
something
to
aspire
to.
Pittsburgh
continues
to
aspire
to
that,
because
it
is
the
very
foundation
of
the
fabric
that
makes
us
the
people
who
we
are.
D
Q
Evening,
my
name
is
Michelle:
Parker
I
live
on
the
north
side,
central
side,
I'm,
a
newer
Pittsburgher
we've
been
here
for
three
years,
so
I
often
had
lots
of
questions.
I
became
very
active
in
our
local
Association,
but
I
always
had
questions
like.
Why
are
the
police
officers
with
construction
people
why
you
know
I
had
all
these
why's?
Why
is
my
taxes
so
high
I
moved
from
Annapolis
Maryland
I
pay
more
in
taxes
here
than
I
did
for
a
house
three
times
the
size.
So
I
just
wanted.
Q
Q
D
D
Our
homes
or
our
castles
are
places
of
refuge
our
fortress
and
how
important
they
are
to
us,
and
how
that
we
can
continue
that
American
dream
that
everyone
in
Pittsburgh
has
equitable
access
to
affordable,
healthy
housing.
Ok,
ok
want
to
come
up;
ok,
so
it's
my
honor
and
my
pleasure
to
introduce
not
just
my
good
friend
but
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
Bill
Peduto
I
meet
you
but
welcome.
Thank
you
rush
chairman.
O
So
you're
gonna
get
like
Bruce,
said
to
see
the
sausage
be
made,
but,
more
importantly,
you're
gonna
get
it
behind
the
scenes.
View
of
city
government,
you're
gonna,
have
access
to
the
Chiefs
and
the
directors
and
folks
that
are
in
the
position
of
making
decisions
and
during
that
process.
What
I
really
hope
that
you
do
is
challenge
ask
the
questions
that
are
the
difficult
questions.
Ask
questions
always
wondered
about
like.
O
But
what
will
happen
is
you'll,
be
given
honest
answers
and
you'll
be
given
information
if
you
request
it
to
back
those
answers
up,
we
wanted
to
make
this
an
opportunity
for
every
citizen
to
be
able
to
see
what
goes
on
on
a
daily
basis,
in
how
long-term
planning
and
strategy
gets
decided.
The
the
the
basics
of
government
is
that
we
are
the
largest
social
service
agency
in
the
city.
We
provide
services
to
people,
that's
our
core
mission.
O
On
top
of
that,
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of,
especially
when
you
meet
with
innovation
and
performance,
a
lot
of
analytics
a
lot
of
data,
that's
being
brought
in
that's
used
to
analyze
where
we
are
and
we're
the
benchmarks
are
that
we
need
to
hit
to
get
to
where
we
want
to
go.
You'll
see
it
also,
when
you're
looking
at
police
data
and
being
able
to
do
more
than
just
cops
on
dots,
which
is
where
is
the
crime
happening?
O
Are
we
we
see
an
increase
in
the
number
of
permits?
Well,
we
have
more
building
inspectors
or
you'll,
be
expected
to
wait
additional
months
to
be
able
to
get
a
permit
to
do
your
kitchen
and
then
you'll
start
to
see
how
all
of
these
things
start
to
play
together
in
how
they
start
to
work
on
a
community
plan
for
redevelopment
in
a
neighborhood
based
upon
housing
based
upon
bringing
back
a
neighborhood
business
district
in
how
all
that
sort
of
fits
together.
O
There
are
people
that
can
turn
an
engine
on
and
be
able
to
hear
exactly
what's
wrong
with
it.
There
are
people
that
have
the
ability
to
do
open-heart
surgery.
There
are
people
that
can
look
at
a
city
budget
and
it
makes
a
mosaic
a
picture,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
are
working
for
the
city
that
have
that
ability
and
you're
going
to
be
working
and
meeting
with
them
directly.
O
So
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
first
say
thank
you
for
caring
enough
about
Pittsburgh
to
want
to
give
your
evenings
up
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
this
number
two
to
assure
you,
you're
not
wasting
your
time,
but
you're
actually
going
to
get
something
out
of
this
because
I'm
at
the
graduation
ceremony
every
and
people
are
actually
hugging
each
other
in
saying
I
wish
I
could
continue
doing
this.
Some
more
and
I
said
hey.
O
We
got
an
entire
page,
a
job
openings
to
go
check
it
out
and
number
three
to
challenge
you
to
challenge
us
to
give
us
the
opportunity
to
hear
directly
from
you,
because
there
is
no
better
way,
not
only
for
elected
officials
but
for
directors
and
chiefs
to
know
what's
going
on
in
the
community
that
they
serve
than
hearing
from
the
community
themselves.
So,
with
that
I'm
going
to
cut
the
political
in
government,
talk
off
and
open
it
up
to
questions
and
answers,
because
the
first
one
who
should
be
grilled
is
City.
Councilman,
bruce
kraus.
O
R
I'm
mr.
William,
to
doodle
my
name
is
Sir
Roger
Hassan
I'm,
currently
living
in
North
View,
Heights
I'm,
the
father
of
two
girls
I,
wanted
to
ask.
There
is
new
faces
right
now
in
Pittsburgh
and
there's
the
current
events
that
are
happening
around
the
world.
I
wanted
to
go
off
topic
a
little
bit
forget
about
the
politics
forget
about
the
others.
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
new
faces
that
you're
seeing
in
Pittsburgh.
R
What
is
it
that
we're
doing
to
welcome
those
people,
because,
right
now,
as
the
current
events
are
happening,
it's
for
my
people,
the
Somali
Bantu
is
are
afraid
because
there
are
Muslims
and
that
Lady
Liberty
has
turned
their
backs
on
them.
That's
how
they're
taking
it
so
my
community
is
trying
to
make
them
comfortable
of
health
in
them
like
fill
settled
and
keep
them
calm,
and
that
everything
is
gonna,
be
okay,
cuz,
the
president.
It's
it's
him!
R
O
Me
preface
it
and
I
answer
with
two
short
stories
and
I'll
try
and
keep
them
short,
18:50
Pittsburgh's
very
different.
It's
basically
the
downtown
area.
The
hill
and
Lawrenceville
is
getting
developed
the
strip
as
well
and
over
on
the
other
side,
that's
Allegheny
City,
but
within
in
the
north
side,
that's
all
Allegheny
City
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
O
At
that
time
there
are
two
immigrant
groups
that
are
moving
in
very
rapidly
the
Irish
and
the
Germans
in
their
Catholic,
and
they
build
the
first
Catholic
cathedral
right
across
the
street
from
us
right
over
where
the
Union
Trust
building
is
today
and
as
the
Catholic
population
starts
to
grow.
This
is
going
on
all
over
America.
Before
the
Civil
War.
There
is
a
rising
rebellion
against
Catholics
and
there
is
a
guy
named
Joe,
barker
who's
a
minister
and
he
preaches
down
it
or
the
convention
center
is
today
and
what
he
preaches
his
hate.
O
He
is
arrested
by
the
mayor
for
threatening
to
kill
the
bishop
he's
put
into
jail
and,
while
he's
in
jail
a
group
of
young
Pittsburghers,
say
hey,
you
know,
he'd
make
a
great
mayor
Joe,
so
they
run
him
in
a
write-in
ticket
and
they
weren't
too
subtle.
It
was
the
anti-catholic
party
and
he
wins,
and
so
they
bust
him
out
of
jail
and
they
take
him
down
to
City,
Hall
and
fourth
Avenue
and
the
judge
says:
wait
a
minute.
O
First
off
you
don't
get
sworn
in
until
January
go
back
to
jail,
you
have
to
stay
there,
so
he
gets
sworn
in.
The
governor's
pardon
never
come
so
he
gets
sworn
in
and
they
take
him
right
back
to
jail
in
January.
And
then
he
comes
the
part
in
the
next
day
and
he
starts
his
reign
first
thing:
he
does
these
fires
all
the
police
officers.
People
say:
I'm
tough
on
the
police
got
fired
over
the
car.
O
He
replaces
them
with
their
own
with
his
own
friends,
and
that
starts
a
civil
war
in
the
streets
of
Pittsburgh.
Next,
he
does,
is
he
arrests,
the
bishop
and
he
arrests,
the
bishop
for
an
illegal
sewer,
tap-in
at
Mercy
Hospital
and
while
the
bishop
there,
while
the
bishops
in
jail,
the
Catholic
cathedral
burns
to
the
ground,
but
they
never
could
find?
Who
did
it?
So
when
we
talk
about
how
things
were
great
back,
then
it
was
just
the
latest
personal,
elitist
people
that
came
over
70
years
later.
O
My
grandfather
came
over
and
he
came
from
a
small
village
in
Italy
with
a
second
grade
education.
My
grandmother
had
no
education,
she
never
went
to
school.
She
couldn't
read
or
write
my
grandfather
settled
in
Carnegie
and
at
that
time
it
was
the
Italians
and
the
Ukrainians
who
were
the
two
groups
that
were
moving
into
Carnegie
and
they
were
welcomed
by
the
Ku
Klux
Klan
in
the
Klan
marched
down,
Main
Street
Carnegie
and
the
leader
of
the
Klan
was
killed
in
that
March.
My
grandfather
was
a
very,
very
proud
man.
O
He
raised
me
from
the
time.
I
came
home
from
the
hospital.
He
was
always
upset
about
the
way
that
he
was
treated
because
he
was
told
go
back.
We
don't
want
you
as
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
It
would
be
a
disservice
to
my
own
family
if
I
didn't
welcome
every
person
who
comes
to
the
city
and
say
this
is
your
city,
here's
your
Terrible
Towel
and
it's
yen's.
O
So
despite
what's
happening
in
Washington,
we're
gonna
do
everything
that
we
can
do
to
be
able
to
make
people
feel
that
they're
welcome
here
and
not
just
to
feel
that
the
welcome
here,
but
to
make
them
welcome
here.
We're
gonna
do
everything
that
we
can
do
with
our
public
safety,
with
our
police
officers
of
being
able
to
go
into
the
community,
especially
within
the
Latino
community.
O
We
will
sue
the
federal
government
together
with
cities
all
across
this
country
and
we
will
win.
There
was
a
precedent
back
in
2008
when
the
federal
government
passed
a
law
that
required
every
local
government
to
register
every
handgun
sold.
You
had
to
register
who
the
person
was
that
bought
it
in
the
Supreme
Court
voted
in
Anton
Scalia
wrote
the
opinion,
not
exactly
a
liberal,
that
there
is
no
right
of
the
federal
government
to
have
any
rules
over
local
law
enforcement
when
it
comes
to
how
the
local
law
enforcement's
run.
O
So
if
this
administration
tries
to
do
it,
we'll
sue
will
win
and
we'll
be
joined
by
every
city
across
the
country.
The
third
part
about
this
there
is
an
assurance
of
people
being
given
rights
back
when
my
grandfather
came
over.
All
he
had
to
do
was
survive
that
boat
ride
and
be
able
to
prove
he
didn't
have
what
'pink
off
or
something
I
don't
mean
how
they
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
were
healthy,
and
then
they
put
him
right
into
a
mill.
But
then
in
1924
Congress
changed
the
law
and
they
said
hey.
O
We
welcome
everyone.
As
long
as
you
had
Italians
in
1890,
you
can
come.
Oh,
you
only
had
a
certain
percent,
no
more
Italians,
no
more
Greeks,
no
more
poles,
no
more
Slovak
snow,
more
Slovenians,
no
more
Ukrainians,
no
more
Eastern
European
and
southern
Europeans,
because
by
that
time,
that
next
group
was
the
Catholics
from
the
other
parts
of
Europe
in
Congress
passed
a
law
that
mandated
that
the
percentage
of
any
ethnicity
had
to
be
the
same
as
it
was
in
1890.
They
were
making
America
great
again.
My
grandmother
didn't
come
over
until
1927.
O
My
grandfather
didn't
see
his
son
for
five
years
and
we're
not
gonna.
Let
that
happen
again
and
I
assure
you.
The
Pittsburgh
will
be
a
city
where
every
Somali
Bantu
not
only
will
feel
welcome.
That
will
be
here
for
multi
generations
and
will
be
the
hope
of
our
future
and
I
can
say
the
same
thing
for
the
Bhutanese
in
the
Nepalese
that
are
living
in
Carrick
and
in
the
South
Hills
for
all
of
the
Latino
community.
O
C
O
Depends
on
what
they
try
to
do
in
Harrisburg,
I
would
say
yes
to
that,
except
they
tried
to
pass
a
bill
that
would
require
voters
to
have
certain
types
of
identification
that
the
US
Constitution
would
not
permit.
So
it's
sometimes
interpreted
slightly
different
by
the
state
legislature,
so
we've
had
to
go
into
court
now,
five
times
in
each
time
for
laws
that
were
passed
in
Harrisburg
and
each
time
they
were
found
to
be
unconstitutional.
Okay,.
O
They
are
requiring
the
person
to
follow
the
religion,
yes,
but
if
they
are
serving
in
a
capacity
to
find
them
a
place
to
live,
find
them
a
job
to
be
able
to
work
at
no.
So
where
we
would
get
into
trouble
is
if
we
funded
in
organization
any
organization
that
would
require,
as
a
prerequisite
of
whatever
they
are,
providing
the
acceptance
only
of
one
religion
or
the
conversion
to
that
religion.
O
But
as
long
as
so
much
of
the
work
that
we
do,
we
work
hand
in
hand
with
all
faiths
to
be
able
to
do
community
outreach
and
community
services,
and
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
our
job
as
well
without
them.
So
there
there
is
an
ability
that
Catholic
Charities
will
work
to
help
to
bring
people
over
from
areas
that
in
the
world
that
have
been
determined
to
be
through
the
UN
refugee
countries,
and
we
work
with
them
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
that,
regardless
of
what
their
religion
is.
E
Marry
you,
you
were
there
for
our
launch.
Last
week
for,
along
with
the
county
executive,
we
had
the
congressman
Doyle
we
had
the
head
of
the
Hinds
endowment,
so
I
know
that
you
absolutely
believe
in
what
you're
saying,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
an
opportunity
right
now,
it's
something
going
on
in
the
national
level.
Some
states
are
starting
to
do
it
and
I
wonder
if
it's
not
something
we
have.
E
The
will
in
the
city
is
to
recognize
the
Afghan
and
Iraqi
interpreters
that
we're
bringing
here
to
recognize
them
notionally
as
veterans,
and
this
has
an
actual,
a
pretty
pretty
profound
impact
just
to
have
that
that
statement.
Even
though
it's
not
a
legal
statement,
it's
just
a
an
act
of
Congress
or
an
act
of
the
city
itself.
We
can
then
take
that
to
employers
like
University
of
Pittsburgh
and
ask
that
they
at
least
functionally
give
them
veterans
status
in
order
to
help
with
them
with
employment
and
I.
E
O
First,
off
I
have
to
publicly
thank
you
for
your
service
and
also
Mission
Continues.
The
work
you
do
with
your
nonprofit
of
getting
veterans
involved
in
community
projects
in
helping
to
rebuild
neighborhoods
I,
just
came
from
an
event.
Tria
is
having
their
national
conference
here,
bringing
enlisted
Association
veterans
from
all
over
the
country
to
Pittsburgh
and
the
folks
from
Colorado
in
the
Mission
Continues
as
well.
We're
talking
about
Pittsburgh
in
the
second
Platoon
being
done
so
you're
getting
national
attention
on
this.
With
the
work
that
you're
doing
now
and
understand
this,
we
made
a
promise.
O
We
promised
that
the
interpreters
in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan,
who
would
work
with
our
military
and
help
our
military,
would
be
given
citizenship
into
our
country
and
for
many
of
them
they
put
their
own
lives
in
jeopardy
and
the
lives
of
their
family.
They
reviewed
as
traitors.
They
reviewed
his
other
types
of
things,
but
they
built
bonds
with
our
soldiers
and
they
ate
with
our
soldiers
and
they
take
care
of
our
soldiers
in
a
different
country,
and
we
owe
them
that
promise
and
to
keep
that
promise.
O
I
would
love
to
make
Pittsburgh
a
city
in
we'll
even
do
promise
you
one
thing
further
I'll
reach
out
to
other
mayor's
and
we'll
start
to
build
it.
But
let's
start
it
in
Pittsburgh
and
you've
got
anything
that
you
need
in
the
fact
that
the
congressman
the
county
I
think
we
now
have
bipartisan
support
around
this
in
the
foundation
communities
all
behind
it
is
a
testament
number
one
not
only
into
the
mission,
but
the
good
work
that
you
do.
O
H
I
F
I
Yeah
yeah,
obviously
I'm,
not
there
anymore
so,
but
but
they
were
doing
one
thing
really
right
and
that
is
I
lived
in
the
suburbs,
but
I
worked
in
the
city,
I
paid
four
percent
wage
tax,
two
percent
to
the
city
of
Cleveland
for
the
privilege
of
working
there.
Two
percent
to
my
local
government
when
I
came
back
here
I
was
like
what
what
I
used
to
work
in
the
u.s.
still
building.
I
O
Great
question
because
Pennsylvania
will
not
permit
us,
there
was
an
opportunity
back
in
the
1920s
to
have
the
opportunity
to
have
a
commuter
tax.
It
was
called
the
stirling
act.
Philadelphia
got
it.
Pittsburgh
did
not.
We
back
in
1940
run
World
War
2
time
there
were
1.2
million
people
who
lived
in
Allegheny,
County
78%
of
them
lived
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Today,
there's
1.2
million
people
live
in
Allegheny
County.
O
O
There
are
only
three
areas
in
the
country
where
there
are
major
metropolitan
areas
that
are
the
major
employers
that
don't
either
have
a
commuter
tax
or
aren't
a
regional
government
Buffalo
CIN
San
Francisco
Pittsburgh
in
Boston
in
San
Francisco
in
Boston.
You
can't
afford
property
property
tax
is
high.
So
if
they're
okay
I
mean
it's
there,
they're
able
to
afford
their
government
Buffalo
and
Pittsburgh
are
both
struggling
in
Columbus,
Ohio
and
Cincinnati
in
Washington,
DC
and
Cleveland,
and
everywhere
else.
O
You
pay
part
of
your
income
to
where
you
work,
and
you
pay
part
of
your
income
to
where
you
sleep,
but
in
Pennsylvania
we
don't
have
that
and
when
we
were
going
through
those
real
rough
economic
times
in
the
90s
we're
lucky,
we
even
survived
because
our
tax
base,
our
property
property,
went
down.
The
people
living
in
the
city
were
disproportionately
elderly
who
didn't
pay
wage
taxes
whose
property
taxes
were
frozen
and
all
of
our
revenue
that
were
given
by
the
state
and
that's
how
we
have
to
do
it.
We
can't
raise
the
tax.
O
We
can't
even
create
a
tax.
We
have
to
have
the
state
give
us
permission
to
do
so,
which,
by
the
way,
if
the
state
said
that
sanctuary
cities
are
illegal
or
that
we
have
to
follow
the
president's
orders
on
whatever
we'd
have
to
do
it.
The
cities
exist
at
the
will
of
the
state
and
there's
a
famous
case,
Dillon's
rule,
which
basically
said
that
the
cities
don't
have
the
ability
to
create
any
laws
that
are
outside
of
what
the
state
gives
them.
O
So
we
have
Home
Rule
Charter,
and
that
gives
us
some
additional
power,
but
it
doesn't
give
us
the
ability
to
create
a
commuter
tax.
It
won't
give
us
the
ability
to
tax
people
coming
across
the
bridge.
It
doesn't
give
us
it
doesn't
give
us
the
ability
to
create
taxes,
and
in
fact
the
state
has
frozen
our
ability
to
raise
the
parking
tax,
because
so
many
people
that
pay
it
our
suburban.
O
They
only
want
us
to
tax
on
the
people
who
live
within
the
city
and
give
us
that
ability
to
raise
our
property
tax
or
our
wage
taxes
yeah.
It's
tough,
it's
it's
like
working
with
in
a
box
in
that
finite
box
seems
to
squeeze
in
tighter
and
tighter.
Fortunately,
incomes
are
going
up,
property
values
are
going
up
in
some
parts
and
that's
helping
to
be
able
to
expand
somewhat
and
remember.
Those
are
the
same
two
taxes.
The
schools
live
on
too.
S
High,
do
you
think
my
name
is
Justin
sander
and
thank
you
to
everyone
else
for
being
here
as
well.
Cuz,
it's
a
awesome
opportunity
to
meet
everybody
in
this
room
and
I.
Look
forward
to
it
and
thank
you
mayor
for
being
here
as
well.
I
guess
just
piggybacking
on
that
question
in
getting
into
a
bit
of
the
gentrification
question.
Obviously
having
a
strong
residential
tax
base
is
really
important,
as
as
we
build
that
tax
base
and
we
have
the
funds
to
do
things
throughout
the
city.
S
The
other
great
component
is
that
we
have
these
large
businesses
that
are
coming
into
the
city
and
they're
also
providing
a
strong
tax
base
as
well.
What
are
the
plans
and
what
is
the
goal
ultimately
to
hold
them
to
the
fire,
to
hold
their
feet,
to
the
fire,
to
ensure
that
they
are
investing
in
the
types
of
things
that
will
enable
the
communities
to
stay
where
they're
at
the
culture
to
stay
the
people
to
stay
as
opposed
to
creating
high
paying
jobs
and
forcing
those
individuals
out
of
the
community
great
question
so.
O
We
need
to
be
able
to
do
more
to
spur
that
development,
but
when
you
look
at
places
like
East,
Liberty
or
Lawrenceville,
and
soon
this
strip
district
and
polish
Hill,
you
want
to
be
able
to
make
sure
you
know
is
being
pushed
out
as
the
prosperity
starts
to
come
in.
So
you
can't
fix
it
with
one-size-fits-all.
O
A
lot
of
people
want
to
have
what's
called
inclusionary
zoning
all
over
the
city,
which
means
that
in
Knoxville
and
belts
Hoover
in
Manchester,
you
would
have
to
have
a
certain
amount
of
affordability
as
a
component
of
anything,
that's
built
well,
our
policy
within
our
administrator
as
we
let
the
neighborhoods
decide
so
in
East
Liberty
in
Lawrenceville.
There's
a
strong
demand
that
have
inclusionary
zoning,
so
we'll
support
the
community,
and
that
would
be
done
there.
O
But
we
then
also
have
to
find
a
way
to
invest
money,
to
get
developers
to
go
in
areas
where
there's
cold
markets
and
not
having
restrictions
on
it
but
being
able
to
invest.
We
want
to
see
character
come
back
fully.
We
want
to
be
able
to
see
that
whole
hilltop
continue
all
the
way
to
beach
view
in
see
development
occurring
you're,
seeing
in
Allentown
right
now
and
it's
great
it's
organic,
but
it's
also
being
spurred
by
economic
incentives
to
get
small
businesses
to
locate
there.
O
So
in
some
areas
of
the
city
we
have
to
give
sugar,
we
have
to
hit
the
gas
pedal.
We
have
to
look
at
areas
like
Homewood,
along
Homewood,
Avenue
and
figure
out.
How
can
we
bring
entrepreneurs
in
and
reopen
that
business
district
with
small
businesses
and
then
in
other
areas
like
East,
Liberty
and
Lawrenceville?
We
have
to
hit
the
brakes
and
we
have
to
figure
out
how
we
can
create
inclusionary
zoning.
So
everyone
has
an
opportunity
to
live
there
and,
at
the
same
time
be
able
to
invest
even
more
into
affordability.
O
My
two
biggest
fears
and
it's
completely
different
than
2013
when
I
first
ran
for
this
job
number
one.
How
do
we
keep
Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
when
all
these
new
companies
come
in
and
all
these
new
people
come
in?
What
was
that
thing
that
made
us
special
in
the
80s
where
people,
even
though
we
were
down
on
our
knees,
economically
loved
this
city
and
had
a
very,
very
strong
affinity
towards
it,
a
loyalty
towards
it?
And
how
do
we
not
lose
that
it's
like
putting
too
much
salt
in
the
soup?
O
You
don't
want
to
ruin
it,
which
was
why
it
was
really
important
for
us
when
we
came
in
to
save
the
terminal
building,
because
it
was
a
testament
to
the
old
Pittsburgh
that
everyone
could
identify
with
and
knocking
down,
40%
of
it
and
putting
a
Panera
in
there
was
not
a
testament
to
the
future
of
CID
in
this
city.
The
second
part
is:
how
do
you
make
a
city
for
all
so
that
we're
not
pushing
people
out?
You
know,
Penn
Plaza
was
a
horrible
experience
from
the
very
very
beginning.
O
It
started
with
a
phone
call
from
state
representative,
ed
Gainey,
saying
people
in
my
district
just
got
a
letter
saying
they
have
90
days
to
move
out
of
a
apartment
and
it's
like
working
with
a
gun
to
your
head
and
we
were
able
to
help.
There
were
200
people
that
live
there,
198
of
them
to
be
able
to
find
a
place
in
the
area
around
East
Liberty
in
East,
Liberty
or
in
their
second
location
that
they
wanted.
O
But
we
stopped
two
more
to
do,
and
so
it's
it's
difficult.
I
think
the
councilman
spoke
before
I
got
here
about
the
need
you
have.
You
have
two
tracks
that
you
have
to
run
on.
One
is
the
market
rate,
because
you
don't
want
market
rate
to
go
all
around
the
city
and
have
like
a
doughnut
where
prosperity
exists
on
the
edges,
but
not
within
the
city
itself.
O
But
you
don't
want
market
to
disrupt
subsidized,
so
you
have
to
be
pushing
at
the
same
time
strongly
with
affordability
as
far
as
getting
the
big
institutions
to
buy
in
UPMC,
the
big
four
UPMC
higher
mark,
Allegheny,
general
Carnegie,
Mellon
and
Pitt.
That's
that
90%
of
your
nonprofit
world
in
those
four
in
fact
UPMC,
is
about
60%
on
its
own,
whether
you're
looking
at
employment
or
property
or
whatever.
There
are
a
couple
things
that
they
said
that
they
would
be
willing
to
do.
O
O
Imagine
the
opportunity
for
kids
to
start
out
in
kindergarten
at
the
same
level
instead
of
the
ones
that
are
and
I
go
to
the
meet
with
kids
all
the
time
you
can
tell
in
first
grade
the
kid
that
can't
read
in
the
ones
who
are
reading
already
at
a
second
grade
level.
Imagine
if
they
all
started
out
at
the
same,
we
could
change
lives.
O
So
those
become
the
first
two
really
important
issues
that
we
want
to
see:
UPMC
Highmark
carnegie-mellon
pit
helping
to
partner
with
us
on,
and
then
we
start
looking
at
a
whole
host
of
others,
everything
from
green
if
structure,
to
creating
a
zero
waste
city
to
being
able
to
do
all
these
goals.
That
we
have,
in
benchmarking
him
out
in
a
ten
year
period,
so
that
by
2030
were
there
you're
going
to
hear
a
lot
more
about
that
over
the
next
six
months.
O
But
the
buy-in
has
to
come
from
them
that
they're
not
just
throwing
their
money
into
a
city
budget
to
make
up
for
where
the
holes
may
be,
but
they're
doing
something
that
it
will
show
the
world
how
these
cutting-edge
institutions
are
helping
to
change
society
in
the
city.
They
call
home
yeah.
They
want
to
see
the
big
thing.
F
Hi,
my
name
is
Sylvia
Smith
and
I
live
in
Wind
Gap
over
in
the
West
End.
So
you
were
just
talking
about
mostly
in
the
east
talked
about
in
the
south
and
I
think
you
heard
I
heard
you
say
a
little
bit
about
Elliott.
But
what
is
your
thought
of
the
West
End
Sheridan
windgap
shorter
city?
It's
forgotten
over
yeah.
O
We
wanted
to
do
it
in
September,
but
it
looks
like
it's
gonna
be
January,
which
is
going
to
be
called
rec.
Detect
Sheridan
doesn't
have
a
community
center
for
kids.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
use
Langley,
we're
partnering
with
Pittsburgh
Public,
Schools
and
after-school
kids,
won't
be
just
playing
basketball
or
swimming
they're.
Gonna
learn
how
to
do
coding.
They're
gonna
learn
stem
and
different
things,
but
it
will
be
done
in
a
fun
way
and
then
we
want
to
keep
the
program
open
at
night,
so
parents
can
come
down
and
start
to
learn.
O
Potential
for
free
of
new
careers.
Sheridan
Park
hasn't
had
anything
for
so
long
and
so
we're
putting
money
into
working
with
the
community
in
order
to
do
a
master
plan
and
to
remake
the
park
into
a
place
where
people
will
actually
want
to
use
theirs,
then
the
biggest
focus
in
all
of
those
neighborhoods
is
homeownership.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
coming
in
buying
up
houses
there
that
are
simply
not
even
flipping
them,
but
putting
them
into
rent
and
then
not
maintaining
them,
and
if
we
lose
more
homeownership
there
we're
gonna
start
to
lose
neighborhoods.
F
O
Yeah
and
in
fact,
we've
been
working
with
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
on
this,
so
just
make
sure
that
the
lor
coordinating
will
make
sure
that
our
offices
is
aware
of
that
as
well.
We
also
worked
with
the
police
league
on
the
boxing
program
to
bring
it
there
as
well.
It's
that
entire
area
around
Langley
that's
a
focus
of
ours.
O
O
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
take
one
last
question
that
I'm
gonna
have
to
roll,
because
I
got
a
friend
coming
in
tomorrow
from
Colorado
we
use
my
college
roommate
at
Penn
State.
We
got
my
masters
at
Pitt,
so
we're
going
up
to
the
Penn
State
game
and
my
house
is
a
wreck
so
I'm
gonna
do
the
proverbial
reading
up
I
got
the
Swiffer
out.
He
doesn't
get
the
full
quality.
You
know
yeah
cleaning
the
floors
and
everything
we
think
he
gets.
He
deserves
Swiffer
good.
T
Evening,
sir,
my
name
is
Rob.
I
live
in
Garfield,
the
belly
of
the
beast,
someone
it's
a
most
exciting
and
dynamic
neighborhood
in
the
city
right
now,
I
really
feel
and
I
have
gotten
to
enjoy
some
of
the
most
exciting
aspects
of
the
city's
development
in
East
Liberty,
and
one
of
those
aspects
was
my
participation
in
the
formation
of
TechShop,
which
unfortunately
now
is
facing
closure.
T
It
will
close
on
September,
30th
and
I
mean
it's
a
business
and
that's
an
acceptable
I
mean
it
happens,
but
I
wanted
because
of
your
interest
and
the
efficiency
that
you
were
able
to
talk
about
the
history
of
Pittsburgh
and
how
important
that
obviously,
is
to
you.
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
like
how
I
feel
that
my
experience
in
that
entry-level
tech
fabrication
business
really
is
a
part
of
the
history
of
Pittsburgh.
T
So
far
as
the
last
several
years,
it
seems
like
it
would
be
like
a
privileged
position
to
be
able
to
go
to
tech
shop
and
participate
in
that.
But
I
want
to
tell
you
that
it's,
it's
really
not
like
a
lot
of
lower-income
people
were
able
to
leverage
nonprofit
associations
to
take
part
in
very
high
tech
training
and
in
that
way,
I
feel
like
it's.
T
O
So
we
may
not
have
tech
shop
in
the
in
the
corporate
model,
but
the
idea
of
the
makerspace
that
will
be
based
off
of
machinery
of
21st
century
in
order
to
be
able
to
create
a
shared
space
is
something
we
want
to
expand.
So
two
areas
that
we're
looking
at
Bakery
Square
is
a
great
location.
It's
also
a
high-rent
location
and
it
really
had
I'm
not
being
critical,
but
it
hasn't
done
enough
to
like
help
the
entire
community
around
it.
O
This
is
that
big,
old
Westinghouse
building
right
on
the
bus
way
and
then
energy
innovation
center
in
the
hill
would
also
help
with
being
able
to
partner
with
I
think
there's
five
universities
there
now
and
so.
What
we
want
to
see
our
nonprofit
partners
come
and
start
to
look,
and
then
we
would
help
to
raise
the
money,
because
I
realized
with
TechShop
the
the
biggest
cost.
T
J
T
Important
to
me
and
I've
been
surprised
very
shocked
at
the
opportunities
that
came
my
way
just
because
of
my
association
of
having
a
membership
at
TechShop
that
carried
a
lot
of
weight
in
for
certain
considerations
such
as
GES
additive,
manufacturing,
research,
laboratory
that
is
out
within
the
Greater
Pittsburgh
region.
But
I
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
just
based
on
the
fact
that
I
was.
You
know
a
pet
shop
member.
O
So
we
don't
have
the
money
just
sitting
in
you
know
the
vault
there's
actually
a
vault
right
there,
because
when
they
built
this
building
credit
cards
didn't
exist
right.
So
you
paid
in
cash
but
corporations,
local
companies,
universities,
foundations,
won't
give
a
dollar
to
a
company
a
corporation
to
be
able
to
keep
them
in
Pittsburgh,
that's
based
out
of
San
Francisco,
but
they
would
sponsor
and
support
a
nonprofit
that
was
creating
an
organization
in
Pittsburgh.
It
was
Pittsburgh
based
in
helping
Pittsburghers.
O
O
We
have
this
nonprofit
group,
that's
going
to
be
doing
job
training
as
well
as
working
with
local
entrepreneurs
and
others
that
are
trying
to
start
their
own
business
and
Homewood
in
the
hill
and
one's
going
to
be
based
on
this,
and
the
other
is
going
to
be
based
on
this,
and
we
need
you
to
be
a
partner
with
it.
Thank
you.
So
much
yeah
now
so
there's
a
lot
of
challenges.
O
It
could
be
areas
like
beach
view
or
Hazelwood
with
all
the
money
that's
going
to
be
going
down
there,
but
you're
also
going
to
be
given
the
SimCity
challenge
of.
How
do
you
do
it
and
also
have
enough
money
to
have
nine
hundred
police
officers?
How
do
you
do
it
and
keep
all
of
the
schools?
You
have
open
right
now
and
look
at
the
promise
of
one
day
having
more
neighborhood
schools.
O
How
do
you
do
it
and
have
a
dream
that,
within
fifteen
minute,
walk
every
child
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
has
a
park
to
go
to
no
matter
what
neighborhood
they
live
in?
How
do
you
do
it
and
have
those
lofty
goals
while
at
the
same
time
understanding
that
your
authorities
also
have
work
to
do?
How
do
you
get
every
lead
pipe
out
of
the
city
in
12
years?
How
do
you
get
the
top
water
filtration
system
in
the
country
installed
in
the
next
six?
O
How
do
you
do
that
when
you
have
debt
and
everything
else,
I
absolutely
love
this
I
often
joke
you
know
I'm
Catholic,
so
I'm
gonna
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
purgatory
and
my
purgatory
is
going
to
be
that
I'm
going
to
be
the
Township
manager
of
a
suburb
where
all
the
streets
are
right
angles.
They
all
have
a
driveway
and
manicured
lawns
and
nothing
happens
and
I'll
sit
there
and
go
crazy.
O
O
Your
your
challenge
is
to
be
able
to
to
work
with
us
and
to
be
able
to
have
that
opportunity
to
see
department
by
Department
what's
happening
and
then
question
by
question
and
I
can
assure
you
this
when
we
get
back
together
when
the
graduation
occurs,
you're
going
to
be
like
wow
did
I
learn
a
lot.
Hopefully
you
teach
us
too
thanks
guys.
A
A
Councilmen
find
the
the
group
number
that
matches
the
number
on
your
nametag.
We're
gonna.
Have
six
groups,
unfortunately
push
for
time,
so
we're
gonna
have
ten
minutes
with
each
presenter,
but
we're
gonna
be
meeting
with
the
office
of
municipal
investigations,
the
nighttime
economy
coordinator,
the
critical
community's
initiatives
manager
for
the
mayor's
office,
the
newest
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
there's
two
more
of
the
Commission
on
Human
Relations
and
the
three
one
ones
response
center.
A
U
I
am
Wendy
Urbanek
and
I'm,
the
manager
of
the
city's
3-1-1
Center.
So
three
one
one
is
our
customer
service
center
and
we're
here
to
help
you
with
any
kind
of
problem
that
I
need.
You
might
remember,
back
in
the
day,
the
old
phone
books
had
the
blue
pages
to
try
to
navigate
to
find
who
you
need
to
talk
to
about
what
problem
was
pretty
impossible.
So
we
created
three
one
one.
So
you
have
a
one-stop
shop,
just
call
us
and
we
help
fix
all
your
problems
or
get
where
you
need
to
be
so.
U
So
when
mayor
Peduto
came
in
one
of
the
first
things
he
said
was:
let's
get
you
some
decent
software,
so
you
can
get
the
job
done
so
now
our
software
has
mapping
layers
all
the
information.
We
just
have
a
streets
directory.
It
was
about
this
thick
and
it
was
written
in
like
a
six
font
and
every
time
someone
called
us
about
a
pothole.
We
would
have
to
look
up
that
Street
and
see
what
Public,
Works
Division
would
handle
that
they're
all
distributed
geographically.
U
Now
all
of
that
is
built
into
the
system
for
us,
so
it
makes
our
jobs
a
lot
easier
in
addition
to
Public,
Works
and
fixing
roads
and
and
helping.
If
you
have
a
Burnout
streetlight,
we
do
some
public
safety
non-emergency
things.
So
sometimes
people
have
questions
about
whether
it's
most
appropriate
to
call
us
or
911
emergency.
Is
you
definitely
want
to
call
911,
but
if
it's
a
great
situation,
the
best
way
to
determine
is,
does
an
officer
need
to
be
dispatched?
U
So
if
you
have
cars
parking
on
the
sidewalk,
that's
actually
illegal,
although
in
a
lot
of
neighborhoods,
if
you
don't
do
it,
you're
gonna
lose
a
mirror.
That
is
something
you
could
call
us
about.
You
could
call
9-1-1
about.
I
would
recommend
calling
us
for
that.
We
could
send
a
police
officer
out
to
monitor
what
they'll.
Do,
though,
is
every
car
in
that
block?
That's
parked
on
the
sidewalk
will
get
a
ticket,
not
just
whoever
you're
calling
on.
U
They
have
to
be
fair
with
it,
but
you've
you've
a
car
blocking
your
driveway,
and
you
need
to
get
out
for
a
doctor's
appointment,
there's
a
case
where
you
would
call
911.
They
do
ask
you
if
this
is
an
emergency,
just
tell
them:
no,
they
triage
it.
So
you're
not
going
to
interrupt
an
emergency.
You
don't
have
to
worry
about
that.
U
We
also
deal
with
private
property
complaints.
So
if
you
have
neighbors
that
aren't
taking
care
of
their
property
is
not
cutting
the
grass
their
house
is
falling
apart.
We
send
inspectors
out
now
a
lot
of
people
get
frustrated
with
that,
because
it
does
take
some
time.
So
the
process
is
once
we
receive
the
address.
We
usually
send
an
inspector
out
within
three
days.
The
inspector
will
make
the
determination
if
there's
violations
the
property
owner
gets
a
letter.
U
Now,
first
of
all,
sometimes
it's
tough
to
locate
the
property
owner,
sometimes
they're
deceased,
sometimes
they've
moved
out
of
state.
If
we
do
find
them,
then
we
give
them
30
days
to
correct
any
violations.
After
30
days,
the
inspector
has
to
go
out
and
check
and
see.
If
that's
happened,
if
not,
we
send
them
a
second
letter.
We
give
them
an
additional
30
days
to
correct
any
violations
after
the
end
of
that
30
days.
So
that's
60
days
total
we
go
out
again.
If
they
still
haven't
fixed
it,
then
we
send
it
to
housing
court.
U
At
that
point,
it's
out
of
the
city's
hands
it's
up
to
the
magistrates
to
determine.
What's
gonna
happen
with
that
property
and
if
there's
gonna,
be
fines
or
violations.
So
in
addition
to
Public
Works
and
police
and
fire,
we
do
a
lot
of
other
things
too.
So
if
you're
not
sure
me
to
call
call
3-1-1
one
of
my
favorite
things
we
got
involved
in
was
the
snow
angels
program,
so
that
actually
started
right
after
Snowmageddon,
where
all
of
you
here
for
Snowmageddon.
U
Okay,
that
was
a
crazy
time.
3-1-1
then
became
a
backup
to
public
safety
so
from
instead
of
8:00
to
4:30,
we
started
going
24/7
now
to
get
enough
people
in
my
office
and
enough
phone
lines.
We
really
had
to
scramble.
Now
we
have
the
capacity
it's
there
all
the
time,
so
we
can
backup
if
we
need
to.
But
for
that
event
it
was
it
was.
It
was
a
struggle
to
get
people
there.
U
We
had
council
members
that
came
in
and
helped
we
had
people
from
City
Parks
who
you
know
are
lifeguards
who
would
come
in
and
help
with
that
situation.
Everyone
pulled
together
to
make
it
happen,
but
at
that
point
we
were
actually
a
backup
to
the
National
Guard.
They
were
going
out
and
getting
people
to
dialysis
appointments,
chemo
therapy
appointments,
helping
and
get
medicines
if
they
needed
medicines.
So
it
was
pretty
scary
to
go
from
you
know,
filling
potholes.
U
C
Well,
our
organization,
like
I,
said
hilltop
Alliance,
said
actually
she
comes
to
our
meetings
and
I
would
recommend
that
if
you're
a
non-profit
or
you
work
for
one,
sometimes
it's
good
to
get
your
neighbors
together
and
sort
of
join
a
campaign
to
help
your
community
by
getting
the
information
that
wendy
has
I
mean
it's
it's
very.
It
helps
in
the
hilltop
we're
doing
a
lot
to
correct
issues
without
having
to
put
the
inspectors
under
their
caseload.
So
much
and
sometimes
the
city
might
not
have
enough
employees
and
I
think
as
citizens.
U
Roy,
that's
a
good
point:
I
love
going
to
community
groups
and
speaking,
we
don't
have
an
advertising
budget,
so
word-of-mouth.
This
mainly
how
we
let
people
know
about
our
services
so
definitely
spread.
The
word
we're
here
to
help
we're
here
to
serve
whatever
we
can
do.
Does
anyone
have
questions
about
three
one?
One.
Q
A
li
light
out
I
used
the
new
app
which
my
my
burg
and
we
had
a
Lightman
tally
out
and
you
just
it's
very
easy.
You
just
went
in
there
I
typed
in
the
cross,
streets
and
I.
You
know
within
two
or
three
weeks
they
came
out,
they
fixed
the
light
and
they
send
you
an
email
back
saying
it's
fixed
or
you
know
we
came
out,
we
fixed
it.
Yeah,
no.
U
U
Excellent
yeah,
well
I.
We
get
a
lot
of
people
that
way,
but
Twitter
is
what
really
surprised
me.
We
have
over
8,000
Twitter
followers
now
and
it's
one
of
the
least
expensive
ways
for
a
process,
a
complaint.
It
comes
right
into
our
system
and
then
it'll
send
you
the
receipt
right
through
Twitter
as
well.
So
that's
another
option
and
then
you
can
always
call
us.
If
it's
not
seven
to
seven,
you
can
leave
a
message.
We
pull
all
those
messages.
First
thing
the
next
day.
U
U
Right
now
we
have
12,
but
some
of
them
are
part-time.
Some
of
them
are
full-time.
We
schedule
more
people
from
when
we
have
higher
call
volume,
the
first
hour
from
7
to
8,
where
is
usually
very
slow.
The
last
two
hours
from
5
to
7
is
usually
really
slow.
If
we
don't
build
up
more
volume,
we
might
cut
back
a
little
bit
to
try
to
accommodate
so
but
I
mean
I
recommend
you
talk
to
one
of
our
operators.
U
If
you
get
a
chance
and
if
you
ever
have
less
than
stellar
service,
let
me
know
right
away.
We
pride
ourselves
on
providing
good
customer
service.
We
appreciate
everything
the
community
does.
The
fact
that
you
folks
are
here
tonight
shows
us
that
you
know
we
can't
do
it
without
you.
One
of
the
great
things
about
this
position
is,
it's
allowed
me
to
see
a
lot
of
the
city's
limitations
and
a
lot
of
time
just
explaining
those
limitations
to
people
does
the
trick.
U
Potholes
is
a
great
example,
so,
in
the
winter
we're
limited
to
something
called
cold
patch
and
it
doesn't
stay
in
the
holes.
In
this
summer,
we
have
hot
asphalt,
which
does
a
great
job,
so
we'll
get
calls
in
January
saying.
Well,
they
just
patched
it
two
days
ago
and
it's
it's
out
already:
it's
not
the
fault
of
the
workers,
it's
the
material
they're
limited
to,
but
the
hot
asphalt
by
the
time
they
got
it
there.
It
would
be
too
cold
to
put
in
the
hole.
U
So
once
we
explain
that
to
people
it
helps
them
understand
and,
and
the
freezing
and
thawing
in
winter.
That's
why
we
get
horrible
pothole
seasons
in
like
February
and
March.
As
a
matter
of
fact
now,
when
we
open
the
hot
asphalt
plant,
I
do
a
little
asphalt
and
it's
very
excited
yeah,
it's
that
time
of
year
again-
and
this
is
how
sad
my
life
is,
any
other
questions.
U
U
V
However,
nothing
was
done,
coverings
are
still
in
place
and
the
problem
is
during
the
winter
months.
You
know
water
seeps
in
and
breaks
up
the
asphalt,
and
so
it's
only
a
temporary
solution,
but
the
city
we
just
gave
up.
You
know
that
was
you
know,
the
the
brick
lining
should
have
been
repaired
and
you
know
taken
apart
and
done
the
correct
way.
So
is
that
something
that
I
could.
U
Some
projects
like
that
that
sounds
like
it
might
need
capital
funds,
which
is
a
lot
bigger,
so
it
might
be
something
that
goes
on
a
list
for
when
they
have
the
money
to
be
that
kind
of
major
product,
but
yeah
definitely
definitely
call
us
about
it.
We
don't
do
the
actual
work
ourselves.
Some
people
think
I
have
a
truck
low
to
asphalt.
My
car.
U
W
Evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Carlos
Torres
and
I
am
the
director
for
the
Pittsburgh
Commission
on
human
relations.
We
are
the
civil
rights
enforcement
agency
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
We
are
considered
an
independent
agency
within
the
city
government
and
we
work
in
four
specific
areas:
employment,
housing,
public
accommodations
and
the
delivery
of
city
services.
So
what
that
means
is
any
person
who
lives,
works
or
visits
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
feels
they
have
been
treated
differently
in
any
of
the
areas
that
I
described
above
can
file
a
complaint
of
discrimination
with
our
office.
W
Our
services
are
100%
free
and
we
have
been
around
since
1955,
so
we
have
been
around
for
a
while,
which
means
I
hope
what
it
means.
That
means
is
you
that
we're
not
going
anywhere
that
we're
here
to
stay
in
front
of
the
brochure
that
I
gave
you
there's
a
description
of
what
we
call
protected
classes
and
it
begins
with
age
and
then
survivors
of
domestic
violence.
So
any
person
who
falls
on
there
any
of
these
groups
can
file
a
complaint
of
discrimination
with
our
office.
W
Usually
what
I
tell
people
is
to
trust
your
gut.
So
if
you
think
or
feel
that
something
is
just
not
right,
you
may
be
right,
so
call
our
office,
and
it
is
our
job
to
investigate
if,
in
fact,
discrimination
did
take
place,
you
do
not
need
to
have
any
evidence.
It
is
our
job
to
find
the
evidence.
Yes,
sir,.
C
W
W
Sense
or
it
could
be,
let's
say
you
go
to
a
restaurant
and
when
you
walk
into
a
restaurant
they
say:
oh
I'm,
sorry,
we
don't
serve
people
like
you
right.
Well,
we
don't
serve
women
with
wearing
headscarves,
but
we're
gonna
serve
people
in
wheelchairs.
So
we
didn't
sell
black
people,
we
don't
serve
gay
people,
wouldn't
say
whatever,
maybe
Muslim
people
that
that
applies
as
well.
It
can
also
be
in
employment.
V
W
That's
a
very
good
question
and
the
answer
it
varies
so
if
they,
if
the
evidence
is
readily
available
very
quickly,
so,
for
example,
if
your
employer
sends
you
an
email
saying
we're
firing,
because
you're
too
old,
that's
pretty
clear
that
it
was
age
discrimination
and
it's
very
easy
to
to
close
that
case.
And
typically
it
takes
anywhere
from
three
to
six
months
for
at
least
a
case
to
close,
depending
how
complex
the
issue
may
be,
and.
V
W
Depends
on
the
issue,
but
some
of
the
remedies
that
we
can
find
is
back
pay,
so
the
person
was
terminated
but
should
have
continued
to
work.
That's
considered
back
pay
if
a
person
should
have
been
hire
again,
a
promotion,
that's
from
pay,
that's
something
as
well
that
we
can
get
and
or
they
can
be,
some
damages
awarded
to
the
individual.
So
if
we
find
that
discrimination
did
take
place,
there
are
several
remedies.
The
other
thing
that
we
can
impose
on
the
employer
is
a
change
in
policy
change
in
practice.
W
So
not
only
you
have
a
new
policy.
You
have
to
follow
that
policy,
also
training,
so
training
in
the
specific
area,
discrimination
that
we
found
as
well
as
monitoring
meaning
for
a
certain
period
of
time.
They
had
to
report
to
us
on
how
they
have
not
only
implemented
that
policy,
but
also
apply
that
policy
across
the
entire
organization.
G
W
They
don't
know
that
we
exist
so
so
that
does
the
best
answer
that
that
I
can
give
you.
We
do
have
attorneys
that
work
for
us
and
we
have
attorneys
that
specialize
in
employment
law
and
we
have
lawyers
that
implies
in
housing
law.
So
we
have
attorneys
our
disposal.
We
have
city
code
or
city
laws
in
our
favor,
so
we
have
our
disposal.
W
We
have
the
full
weight
of
a
city
government
as
well
as
the
expertise
of
and
our
lawyers,
our
outside
lawyers
in
private
practice
that
we
have
hire
to
provide
that
respect
to
expertise
to
us.
But
to
answer
your
question,
my
best
guess
is
that
people
don't
know
that
we
exist
and
people
don't
know
that
our
services
are
free.
Sometimes
people
feel
like
they
have
to
have
an
attorney
to
represent
their
interests.
We
are
100%
independent
and
what
that
means
is
the
gentleman
asked
earlier.
It
said
only
you
know
a
city
employee,
well,
a
city
employee.
W
So
let's
say
your
complaint
is
against
a
police
officer.
We
can
take
that
complaint
because
we
can
investigate
the
police,
the
fire.
We
can
investigate
unions,
we
can
investigate
every
single
department
working
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Our
jurisdiction
is
entire
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Our
statute
of
limitations
is
one
year
so
one
year
from
the
date
of
the
incident,
you
can
file
a
complaint
with
our
office
now
things
that
fall
outside
of
the
city
limits.
So
let's
say
something
that
happens
within
the
county.
W
C
J
W
C
W
A
slumlord
they're
a
little
different,
but
when
we're
talking
about
housing
discrimination,
it
may
be
well,
we
don't
rent
to
people
with
small
children
right
because
children
will,
you
know,
damage
the
walls
and
ruin
the
carpet.
Bla
bla.
Well,
that's
not
a
reason
not
to
rent
to
you.
If
you
can
afford
to
rent
the
unit,
you
should
be
allowed
the
opportunity
to
run
the
unit.
Okay.
Oh
we
don't.
We
don't
rent
to
two
men
living
together
or
two
women
living
together.
W
That's
not
your
choice
to
make
if
they
qualify
and
they
meet
the
criteria
that
you
have
set
forth
for
other
individuals.
They
should
be
able
to
rent
from
you
as
well.
Oh,
we
don't
rent
to
Muslim.
So
we
don't.
You
know.
There's
some
people
say
we
need
your
social
security
number
to
do
before
we
can
rent
not
required.
It's.
W
W
J
W
To
hear
about
those
things
because
see
a
regular
person
may
not
think
of
those
things
we
do
yes,
yes,
any
other
questions
comments
concerns
our
phone
number
is
in
the
back
of
the
brochure
that
I
gave
you.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
any
concerns,
please
feel
free
to
call
us.
We
work
Monday
through
Friday
8:00
to
5:00,
and
our
services
again
are
100%
free.
If
you
have
a
question,
you
don't
know
you
you're,
not
sure,
that's,
not
a
nice
discrimination.
Call
us
we'll
walk
you
through
it.
N
Do
you
know
what
that
is,
like
I,
say
a
word
and
use
whatever
pops
into
your
head
yeah,
so
we're
gonna
just
like
do
it
all
at
once.
You
know
just
just
kind
of
blurt
out
what
word
you
think
of
when
when
I
say
my
word,
okay,
so
my
first
we're
gonna
do
two
of
them.
The
first
one
is:
what
do
you
think
what
word
or
a
phrase
or
what
comes
to
mind
for
you
when
I
say
nighttime
economy.
N
Drinking
restaurants,
anybody
else
tourism,
bars,
hotels,
shows
the
other
thoughts
games,
yeah
and
including,
like
you
know,
the
north
side
with
all
the
the
games.
That's
really
a
part
of
that.
So
the
other
one
I
want
to
say
it's
a
little
bit
different
I
want
you
to
think
of
a
city
in
the
world.
It
could
be
anywhere
in
the
world.
You
can
have
gone
there.
You
can
have
seen
it
in
a
movie
or
read
about
it.
N
But
I'd
like
to
know
what
city
you
think
of
when
I
say:
sociable,
City,
New,
York,
anybody
Baltimore
anybody
else
was
it
Orlando.
I
I
was
just
there
Atlanta
DC.
You
need
Minnesota
anybody
else.
San
Francisco
yeah,
it's
very
sociable,
okay!
Well,
then,
we
all
have
to
say.
Why
are
we?
What
makes
us
think?
That's
sociable
so
like
what
are
those
characteristics
that
you
think
that
make
up
a
sociable
city,
diversity.
V
N
So
kind
of
like
the
sidewalk
cafe
and
sort
of
like
a
live
a
living
street
like
a
living
room
outside
like
an
outdoor
living
room
right.
Okay,
so
no
one
has
said
safety,
though
no
one
said
you
want
to
feel
safe,
but
that's
part
of
a
sociable
city's,
definitely
part
of
the
nighttime
economy
and
I
would
say
so
everything
that
you
talked
about
sidewalk
cafes,
having
things
to
do
having
diversity,
how
do
we
make
sure
that
everybody
has
access
to
places
to
socialize?
That's
all
a
part
of
what
I
do
so.
N
The
first
thing
I'll
point
out
to
you
is
in
the
coordinator
role.
This
here
is
that
I
work.
My
role
is
to
balance
to
work
on
a
balance
of
both
economic
development
of
the
nighttime
economy
and
also
the
safety
and
quality
of
life
impacts
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
creating
impacts.
So
our
cities
were
not
necessarily
designed
for
nighttime
economy.
N
If
you
think
about
say
this
is
a
business
and
it's
a
shoe
store
and
you
think
about
how
many
employees
it
might
have
how
many
customers
might
fit
in
there
and
what
kind
of
trash
it
generates.
Maybe
some
boxes
then
think
of
a
restaurant
or
a
bar,
and
you
think
that
same
footprint
can
pack
in
a
lot
more
customers.
It
employs
a
lot
more
people,
it
generates
it's
like
a
little
factory.
It's
you
have
people
taking
food
in
and
taking
food
out.
So
we
have
it's
an
in.
N
You
know
you
have
to
have
more
bathroom
space.
You
have
to
have
more
trash
collection.
So
all
of
these
things
are,
then,
you
add
up
all
of
those
next
door
to
each
other,
and
you
have
a
district
of
bars
and
restaurants.
Just
think
of
that
impact
and
to
the
infrastructure.
Then
you
have
a
historic
city,
a
200
year
old
city
who
was
not
really
designed
for
that.
So
we
have
to
kind
of
go
back
and
retrofit
and
look
at
like
okay.
This
is
where
we're
at,
and
this
is
where
we're
going.
N
N
If
you
look
at
all
the
things
that
are
listed
there,
one
of
the
first
things
that
I
want
to
do
when
I
go
and
work
with
a
city
and
I
have
to
do
here
in
Pittsburgh
is
to
look
at
what
codes
and
ordinances
do
we
have
that
address
sidewalk,
cafes
or
managing
sound?
You
know,
because
now
you
have
people
that
want
to
have
entertainment
or
have
speakers
outside,
so
the
people
on
the
patio
can
hear
it,
but
then
that
impacts
the
neighbors.
N
They
want
to
have
those
windows
that
are
like
floor-to-ceiling
that
are
like
a
big
wall
opening
up.
So
these
are
the
things
that
we
need
to
look
at
and
say:
is
this
a
fit
for
Pittsburgh?
Is
that
a
fit
for
this
neighborhood
and
that's
a
lot
of
changes
to
be
made?
So
that's
a
lot
of
the
work.
I
do
is
kind
of
reviewing
that
hearing
from
the
community
hearing
from
businesses
I
hear
part
of
my
job
is
to
look
at
improving
processes.
So
is
the
process
that
we
have
for
opening
a
business?
Is
it
streamlined?
N
C
N
Yeah
and
so
I,
because
I'm
responsible
for
the
entire
city
and
I
only
am
them
the
only
staff
person
yeah.
So
that's
yes,
I
do
I'm
there
a
lot
I
was
there.
This
morning,
yeah
I
was
I
dealt
with
today,
four
different
neighborhoods
alone
just
today,
and
dealt
with
some
interacting
with
Council
on
some
potential
legislation,
one
of
the
things
that
we're
piloting
and
trying
out
you
heard
about
how
we
don't
have
a
commuter
tax.
N
So
if
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
are
coming
to
these
areas
from
outside
the
city
but
they're
not
paying
into
the
money
or
into
the
general
fund
for
the
Department
of
Public
Works
to
clean
up
the
mess
or
the
police
to
police
the
area,
how
can
we
generate
a
little
bit
of
money
to
to
do
that
to
cover
that?
So
we
create
we're
doing
a
pilot
program
on
the
south
side.
N
That
is
extending
the
parking
meter
collection
from
6
o'clock
to
midnight
on
Friday
and
Saturday
night
have
I
said
this
I'm,
forgetting
one
group
I
talked
to
okay,
so
we
over
six
months
in
it's,
it's
a
one-year
pilot
and
in
just
12
hours
a
week
of
that
parking
at
dollar
fifty
an
hour.
We
have
collected
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
it
goes
into
a
trust
fund
that
will
be
only
put
back
into
that
area
in
which
it
was
collected
to
pay
for
things
like
clean
up
trash
extra
trash
collection
and
police.
N
But
we
get
that
coverage
as
citizens,
and
you
know
through
our
taxes,
but
the
people
that
come
from
outside
of
Pittsburgh
are
kind
of
riding
on
our
coattails,
and
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
give
them
a
quality
experience
and
we
want
to
have
our
neighborhoods
clean
too.
So
that's
what
we're
hoping
to
generate
from
that.
So
my
job,
a
lot
of
what's
taking
my
time
now,
is
implementing
that
I
am
coordinating
parking
authority.
This
Knight
Rider
is
a
sponsored
shuttle.
A
Park
and
Ride.
N
The
mayor
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
some
free
parking
for
people,
so
it's
a
parking
lot,
that's
further
away,
but
it's
a
free
parking
and
a
free
ride
on
Friday
and
Saturday
night
for
employees
or
customers,
and
so
they
can
use
this
to
still
access
the
district
and
be
able
to
go
there.
So
I
coordinate
this
the
parking
authority,
the
Department
of
Public
Works,
the
police
and
uber
and
lyft,
and
some
of
the
things
that
happen
at
night
around
there.
We
have
a
safety
lane
because
Carson
Street
is
very
narrow.
N
So
that's
part
of
what
I
do
I
will
I'm
relieved
to
say
that
there's
a
potential
for
me
to
have
another
staff
person
pretty
soon
next
year,
yeah
so
that
I
can
accomplish
more.
But
my
main
thing
is
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
social
opportunities
for
everybody
in
Pittsburgh.
If
that's
the
one
thing
that
I
do
before
I
leave,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
people
aren't
isolated
and
have
the
opportunity
to
socialize
so
anyway,
I
was
really
glad
you
guys
are
doing
this.
It's
a
really.
N
Y
My
name
is
Laura
Trochowski
I
work
in
Mayor
Peduto
office
and
my
title
is
critical
communities
initiatives.
Manager
I,
would
give
you
three
guesses,
but
you
need
like
a
hundred
so
secret
disclosure
I
made
that
title
up.
I
am
working
on
a
range
of
programs
that
are
very
important
to
the
mayor
into
the
city,
but
maybe
initially
don't
have
a
natural
fit
together.
So
those
programs
are
related
to
substance
use.
So
when
we
say
substance
use
that
includes
alcohol,
illicit
drugs,
prescription,
drugs,
I
work
on
programs
related
to
homelessness.
Y
We
don't
refer
to
people
as
homeless,
because
homelessness
does
not
define
a
person.
It
is
a
person
who's
experiencing
homelessness.
So
we
work
with
individuals
at
risk
for
or
experiencing
homelessness.
We
work
with
the
providers
and
the
outreach
workers
who
engage
those
folks.
We
work
with
our
public
safety
folks
in
in
order
to
be
sensitive
to
the
needs
of
individuals
and
experiencing
homelessness
and
communities
affected
by
individuals
experiencing
homelessness.
There's
always
a
cascade
right,
there's,
always
a
ripple.
We
work
on
I
work
on
programs
related
to
veterans,
I.
Y
Think
that
to
lump
all
veterans
into
one
category
is
like
lump
in
any
group
into
one
category:
it's
not
fair
right.
There
are
different
needs
among
different
people,
so
we
have
veterans
who
represent
more
vulnerable
needs
and
we
have
veterans
who
are
underemployed
because
their
resume
doesn't
necessarily
match
the
qualifications
for
a
job.
But
that
doesn't
mean
that
that
veteran
is
not
fully
qualified
for
that
job.
Y
It
just
means
that
we
need
to
do
better
as
employers
to
understand
how
to
match
that
veterans,
qualifications
which
may
be
running
a
unit
and
not
you
know
typing
150
words
a
minute,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
better
match
those
qualifications.
So
there's
hiring
opportunities
there,
sustaining
the
hiring
and
in
continuing
to
promote
veterans,
access
to
health
care,
and
that's
something
that
it's
a
challenging
place
for
the
city
to
play.
Y
Because
I
can't
remember
if
I
said
this,
the
county
does
the
administration
of
a
lot
of
the
really
important
programs
on
human
services
side
and
they
do
a
phenomenal
job.
Homelessness
programs,
the
county,
administers
about
18
million
dollars
in
funds
to
homelessness,
but
our
public
safety
folks
still
engage
with
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
right.
So
what
is
our
role
as
a
municipality?
How
do
we
ensure
that
we
are
collaborating
with
the
community?
Understand?
Y
Excuse
me,
the
county
understanding,
what
they
need
us
to
do
and
then
implementing
the
programs
that
are
best
suited
to
us
versus
trying
to
create
something.
That's
redundant
to
the
many
agencies
that
exist.
I've
also
just
started
to
work
with
communities,
disability,
communities,
I
think
again.
This
is
one
of
these
challenges.
Where
were
lumping
an
entire
group
of
people
with
various
vast
challenges
and
things
that
they
bring
to
us
in
the
one
category
and
I
always
think
that
these
categories
are
really
problematic.
Y
C
Y
So
different
right,
I
think
you're,
right
and
I
think
you
know
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
trying
to
understand
is
stigma
the
harm
that
stigma
does
in
many
communities.
So,
for
example,
substance
use.
Our
first
responders
are
very
oftentimes
the
people
that
have
the
opportunity
to
engage
with
an
intervene
in
a
person's
life
who
might
be
using
drugs
when
you
know
and
I
always.
This
is
such
a
short
period
of
time
that
I
hate,
assuming
that
I
know
more
than
the
individuals
with
whom
I'm
speaking
so
please
I
would.
C
As
far
as
the
substance
abuse
policy,
I
would
take,
and
and
and
I
spoke
with
a
reporter
prior
to
this
rich
Lord
and
actually
I
told
him
in
the
case
of
substance,
abuse,
I,
believe
more
in
order
to
effect
and
actuate.
What's
going
on
with
the
addicts,
we
need
more
of
an
outreach
type
of
actions
happening
with
addicts
rather
than
posting
signs
around,
or
it's
more
of
a
cold-hearted
reach
to
try
to
get
to
that
person.
That's
walking
the
street
and
they
might
be
lost.
Y
Z
C
Y
I
100%
I,
don't
think
that
could
have
been
articulated
better
I
think
we
got
a.
We
got
that
recorded.
Thank
you,
so
I
think
you
bring
up
really
so
stigma
and
Prevention
I
think
we're
the
two
things
I
heard
here.
So
the
first
thing
is
we,
as
community
members,
need
to
stop
thinking
of
a
person
who
uses
drugs
as
the
other,
and
we
needed
to
stop
that
20
years
ago,
not
just
now,
but
now
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
noticing
because
it's
effective,
let's
be
honest,
it's
affecting.
C
Y
I
think
we
can
talk
a
lot
to
you
about
what
an
addiction
is
right.
Technology,
addiction,
I
mean
I,
don't
know,
I
know
that
I
sit
in
meetings
and
I
watch
someone
go.
You
know
and
I
think
that
these
are
human,
behaviors
right,
I,
think
food,
I,
think
alcohol,
I
think
there's
a
myriad
of
things
that
we
do
in
almost
compulsive
basis
and
I
think
there's
a
really
important
distinction
right.
We
always
talk
about
the
difference
between
dependence
and
addiction,
and
it
is
so
important
in
reducing
stigma.
Y
Dependence
is
a
physical,
it's
a
biological
reaction
to
use
of
a
substance.
All
of
us.
If
we
took
vicodin
for
a
period
of
time,
we
develop
a
physical
dependence,
it's
just
the
reality
of
the
medication.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
some
inward
judgment
of
ourselves
or
one.
Another
addiction
is
engaging
in
behaviors
that
are
unhealthy
or
are
risky
to
procure
that
substance,
but
there's
a
reason
why
some
people
become
dependent
and
not
addicted
and
some
people
become
addicted
and
there
are
actually
many
reasons.
Y
It's
a
complex
set
of
factors,
but
I
kind
of
I
look
at
it
as
it
could
be.
Any
one
of
us
right
so
one
do
we
as
a
community
start
to
recognize
that
we're
all
in
this
together
that
we
all
need
to
help
one
another
and
then
walking
past
a
person
and
treating
them
like
a
nuisance
is
in
many
ways
not
a
very
effective
thing
to
do,
because
you're
just
further
marginalizing
you.
C
Y
I
think
when
people
always
ask
me
what
the
one
thing
that
is
very
hard,
is
people
always
ask
what
can
I
do
as
a
community
member
to
change
the
path
of
a
person
who's
experienced
who's
experiencing
substance
use
related
issues.
So
the
first
thing
is:
that's
that's
private!
That's
something
that
this
person's
doing
and
I
think
there
can
be
this
zealousness
to
go
out
and
say:
hey!
Tell
me
about
you,
know
your
drug
use.
J
Y
Y
R
Most
people
sometimes
need
to
know
which
it
what
is
or
what
people
are
having
problems
with.
Sometimes
it
could
sometimes
other
people
cannot
look
at
someone
and
just
tell
if
they're
having
a
substance
abuse
or,
if
they're,
having
like
other
problems,
which
they
don't
know,
maybe
I,
could
walk,
walk
past
someone
that
is
I,
don't
know.
Y
Z
Care
about
each
other,
so
I
like
to
say
what
about
the
ones
that
ain't
walking
back?
What
are
the
ones
like
I
have
a
friend,
that's
Italian,
/
chairman
he's
72
years
old
and
he
suffered
from
depression.
So
that's
why
he
drink
so
he's
not
able
to
like
do
any
walking.
What
about
the
ones
that's
inside
and
closed
herself
and
sad
and
shut
their
self
down?
How
do
we
get
to?
How
do
we
get
to
them?.
AA
Hi
everybody
I
am
Erin
Bruni
I'm
from
the
office
of
municipal
investigations.
Basically
OMI
is
the
Internal
Affairs
Division
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
which
everyone
when
they
hear.
That
term
is
going
to
think
automatically,
probably
going
to
the
police,
which
is
the
majority
of
what
we
do,
but
we
do
have
other
functions
there.
We
conduct
residency
investigations
for
the
city,
we
do
all
of
the
Public
Safety
background
investigations,
so
EMS
fire
and
police,
and
then
we
handle
complaints
again
of
misconduct
against
any
city
employee,
not
just
the
police.
So
we
are
slightly
different.
AA
If
you've
heard
of
the
citizen,
Police
Review
Board
we're
a
little
bit
different.
They
handle
police
issues
only.
We
will
handle
anything
in
the
city,
elected
officials,
not
the
controller,
not
Council,
and
not
the
mayor
himself.
Those
are
usually
referred
to
like
the
Ethics
Commission
or
something
we
might
get
200
to
250
complaints
a
year.
They
range
in
severity
from
what
we
call
contempt
of
cop,
so
demeanor
cases,
attitude
cases
on
professionalism
up
through
neglect
of
duty.
We
might
have
illegal
search
and
seizures,
and
probably
the
most
you
know
severe
would
be
use
of
force.
AA
You
know
civil
rights
allegations
things
of
that
nature.
False
arrest,
I
am
happy
to
report
that
when
I
started
back
in
the
year
2000
the
city
was
under
a
federal
consent
decree.
There
were
systemic
problems
within
the
police
department.
We
were
highly,
we
were
highly
monitored
by
the
federal
government
they
had
stepped
in.
We
were
out
from
underneath
the
consent
decree.
The
level
of
our
our
complaint
numbers
are
still
fairly
high,
but
the
severity
of
those
have
gone
way
down.
AA
We
do
get
our
occasional
use
of
forces,
are
illegal
searches
and
seizures,
but
a
lot
of
it
is
the
attitude
and
demeanor.
You
have
an
encounter
with
a
police
officer,
and
you
did
not
like
the
way
he
spoke
to
you.
He
was
disrespectful.
He
was
unprofessional
that
is
kind
of
our
bread
and
butter.
As
to
what
we
do
so
you
could
file
a
complaint
in
a
variety
of
different
ways.
You
know
people
have
been
known
to
call
the
mayor's
office.
They
forward
it
to
us,
they
might
email
3-1-1,
it
gets
forwarded
to
us.
AA
You
can
call
in
and
file
the
complaint
day
or
night.
We
have
a
24-hour
answering
machine.
You
can
file
anonymously,
you
can
file
a
third
party,
so
a
lot
of
times
parents
might
file
on
behalf
of
their
children
or
you
can,
you
know,
be
the
first
party
complainant.
We
just
need
enough
information
to
get
that
complaint
off
the
ground,
so
date
and
time
location
a
description
of
the
officer.
AA
At
the
very
least
you
know,
if
you
don't
leave
your
name
and
number
and
we
are
very
limited
and
there's
a
piece
of
information
we
need,
we
might
not
be
able
to
move
forward,
but
we
do
our
best
to.
You
know,
track
down
every
complaint
that
we
can.
We
handle
everything
seriously
a
lot
of
times.
It
might
be.
A
matter
of
you
know,
taking
a
few
minutes
just
to
look
at
a
police
report
and
find
out
what
happened
and
maybe
explain
that
to
the
person.
You
know
a
lot
of
times.
AA
AA
That's
what
he's
gonna
do
you
know
if
there's
no
reason
for
them
to
make
an
arrest,
they're
gonna
tell
you
handled
the
matter
civilly,
you
know,
so
we
might
just
be
able
to
explain
that
to
someone
not
launch
a
full-scale
investigation
and
someone
might
just
need
an
answer
to
what
they'll
gripe
is.
You
know
they
need
to
vent
for
a
little
bit
and
say
yeah,
we
looked
into
it
and
this
is.
It
was
handled
this
way
because
of
this.
This
is
the
police
policy,
and
this
is
what
I
was
handled.
That
way.
AA
There's
other
times
where
there's
a
suggestion
of
misconduct
and
we
launched
into
a
full
investigation,
we're
knocking
on
doors
close
to
the
incident.
We
are
tracking
down
witnesses.
We
are
following
court
proceedings,
we're
talking
to
everyone
that
we
possibly
can
to
do
a
thorough
investigation.
You
had
a
question.
AA
Necessarily
a
statute
of
limitations.
However,
there
is
a
contractual
rule
with
the
Pittsburgh
police
that
if
an
action
could
not
go
crinimal
criminal,
so
could
not.
It
has
a
little
bit
of
vagueness
to
it.
So
criminal
acts
might
be
the
use
of
force,
because
that
would
be
assault.
Official
oppression
would
be
things
like
false
and
false
arrest.
So,
if
those
are,
if
those
don't
have
a
statue
of
limitations
to
them,
things
like
verbal
exchanges,
because
those
could
not
go
criminal
yeah
those
are
90
days.
AA
You
have
to
follow
them
within
90
days
or
we
could
just
say
it's
a
contractual
obligation
that
we're
going
to
unfuck
we're
done
founded.
We
could
do
a
little
bit
of
legwork,
but
it's
unfounded
the
consent
decree
the
parameters
were
we
had
120
days
in
order
to
complete
our
investigations.
Some
of
the
minor
complaints
don't
take
that
long.
Others
are
going
to
take
that
long
and
there
might
be
times
that
we
have
to
say.
Listen.
You
know
it
took
our
complainant
90
days
to
get
us
medical
records.
We
need
a
little
bit
more
time.
AA
You
know
there
may
be
reasons
where
I
were
extending
past.
That
deadline
we
do
try
to
complete
them
as
thoroughly
and
as
quickly
as
possible.
Just
because,
if
discipline
is
going
to
be
administrative,
I
mean
that's
going
to
come
from
the
chief
of
police,
but
he
also
then,
has
those
same
Bureau
rules
where
he
needs
to
get
that
process
started
a
certain
time.
So
I
liked.
AA
AA
Well,
I
appreciate
that
and
we
get
a
lot
of
other
types
of
complaints
like
the
one
example
I've
given
is
you
know,
and
we
don't
just
investigate
police
so
that
you
know
we
do
get
other
complaints.
Sometimes
it
might
be.
Public
works
that
they're
in
a
truck
at
a
park
and
they're
at
lunch,
and
they
start
talking
about
the
what
they
were
doing
in
their
language
might
get
a
little
bit
bad
and
there's
a
child
and
in
a
playground
you
know
we
might
get
those
complaints
to
its
all
departments.
So
a
lot
of
times.
AA
Z
AA
Your
city
employee,
they
have
to
be
a
city
employee,
so
a
lot
of
times
we
also
don't
handle
like
parking
authority
complaints.
If
you
have
a
problem
with
a
meter
reader,
we're
not
going
to
be
the
ones
well.
If
you
call
us
and
we
don't
handle
it,
though
we're
gonna
do
our
best
to
try
to
find
you.
The
agency
that
you
could
file
that
complaint
with
I
would
think
that
the
Department
of
Human
Services
is
probably
has
an
investigative
body
similar
to
that,
or
at
least
the
state
I.
AA
You
know
the
state
and
inspector
general's
office
there's
probably
some
of
them.
We
can
put
you
in
contact
with
you
know,
because
a
lot
of
people
times
people
will
call-
and
you
know
Pittsburgh
has
so
many
small
municipalities.
You
know
maybe
something
happened,
Oliver
and
that's
who
you
were
really
dealing
with
we're
gonna
call
Pittsburgh,
because
that's
probably
the
most
recognizable,
so
we
might
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
research
and
were
like
oh
yeah.
Pittsburgh
got
there
to
assist,
but
the
initial
officers
are
met.
G
AA
Our
office
does
not
do
anything
as
far
as
disciplinary
procedures
happens.
We
put
a
disposition
on
the
single
allegation,
so
we
evaluate
all
the
facts.
We
do
analysis
based
on
the
policy
that
you
know
that's
being
alleged
to
the
violation
of
that
policy,
and
then
you
know
we
might
say
that
it's
unfounded.
Maybe
we
had
a
witness.
That
said,
no,
that
is
not
how
it
happened.
We
had
dashcam
footage,
it
said.
No.
That
is
not
what
happened.
You
know
we're
able
to
unfound
something
a
lot
of
times
in
verbal
abuses.
AA
We're
gonna
consider
everyone
on
the
same
playing
field.
You
had
an
encounter
with
a
police
officer
and
you
as
the
police
officer.
Maybe
you
both
have
equally
credible
histories.
If
there's
not
a
witness
to
that
we're
gonna
say
you
know,
we're
gonna
not
resolve
it,
because
we
don't
know
what
happened.
We
can't
you
know
we're
not
going
to
accept
either
word
over
the
other.
So
out
of
fairness
to
both
of
you
know,
if
an
officer
has
a
history
or
citizen
has
a
history
that
might
play
into
our
analysis.
If
something
is
sustained,
we've
got
witnesses.
AA
It's
a
policy
violation
that
is
reviewed
by
the
entire
chain
of
command,
and
at
that
point
they
make
a
decision
on
discipline.
Now
it
might
depend
on
what
the
severity
of
that
alligator.
That
infraction
is
you
know,
use
of
force
might
be
a
higher
level
of
the
discipline.
Then
an
officer
was
having
a
bad
day
and
they
made
a
snide
comment
to
somebody.
You
know
they're,
not
gonna
fire
it
over
that.
You
know
it
might
just
be
a
verbal
counseling,
but
then
it
is
on
record
with
us
if
that
possible,.
AA
Is
possible
yes,
but
it
might
be
a
minor
infraction,
and
it's
something
that
but
then
that
we
have
a
database
for
each
employee
and
as
that
behavior
then
might
continue.
Then
we
can
use
that
so
now,
when
we
have
two
people
in
a
room,
we're
not
sure
what
happened,
but
maybe
this
officer
over
here
has
three
not
resolves
we're
like.
Maybe
this
is
starting
to
happen,
and
this
is
a
problem
we
need
to
address.
AA
C
AA
X
Everyone
yeah,
you
get
double
the
fun,
so
my
name
is
Alex
pet
Kanaks.
As
Jeff
my
colleague,
we
are
both
assistant
directors
in
the
city's
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
So
this
is
the
newest
apartment
in
the
city.
We
were
just
established
in
the
budget
last
year
in
in
2017,
so
the
reason
that
the
department
was
established
was
really
to
two
main
things.
The
first
was
that
there
were
a
lot
of
pretty
complicated
transportation
projects
that
we
were
working
on
and
there
would
sometimes
be
some
difficult
coordination
across
different
departments
in
the
city.
X
We'd
never
had
a
transportation
department
or
hadn't
had
one
for
many
years,
and
so
different
parts
of
the
job
were
kind
of
distributed
all
around
the
city,
and
sometimes
it
was
hard
to
coordinate
across
those
departments.
So
we
really
wanted
to
centralize
that
work
and
bring
all
those
those
folks
together
and
then
I
think.
The
second
reason
this
department
was
established
was
because
there's
a
lot
of
changes
in
transportation
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
Right
there's
been
a
focus
on
kind
of
moving
people
rather
than
just
moving
vehicles.
X
So
that
means
you
know
more
support
from
mass
transit
and
walking
and
cycling
and
making
things
better
for
accessibility
and
then
there's
also
sort
of
this
whole
nother
world
of
smart
cities
or
Internet
of
Things.
Where
you
know
transportation,
tech
is
changing
things
like
driverless
cars,
obviously,
but
even
you
know
how
we
take
advantage
of
data
and
make
decisions
off
of
data.
X
So
these
you
know
all
of
these
trends
kind
of
made
it
pretty
important
for
the
city
and
we're
not
the
only
city
in
the
country
that
is
thinking
about
this,
but
it
made
it
important
for
us
to
kind
of
create
this
new
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
We
worked
with
a
national
organization
called
the
National
Association
of
city
transportation
officials
to
really
kind
of
map
out
what
an
ideal
department
would
look
like.
So,
like
I
said
it
was,
it
was
formed
in
the
budget.
Last
year
we
hired
our
first
director
in
February.
X
She
came
to
us
from
Washington
DC.
She
was
with
the
district
department
transportation,
which
was
the
is
Washington
DC's
PennDOT.
Essentially
so
you
know,
we,
we
established
we've
gradually
been
growing
sort
of
bringing
some
folks
from
the
planning
department
bringing
some
folks
from
Public
Works
we're
now
up
to
about
35
staff
members.
X
So
my
my
job
in
the
department
I'm,
the
assistant
director
for
planning
and
policy,
so
I
spend
a
lot
of
my
time
kind
of
thinking
looking
forward
and
thinking
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
kind
of
prepare,
I
work
on
on
sort
of
our
network
side.
Thinking
about
where
we
make
our
investments,
we
don't
have
enough
money
to
do
all
the
projects
that
we
need
to
do.
So,
how
do
we
prioritize
and
focus
on
the
ones
that
are
most
important
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
the
the
steps
project?
X
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
have
heard
about
the
the
assessment
that
we
got,
that
we're
working
with
the
community
on
kind
of
combining
what
the
the
community
and
residents
are
saying
are
sort
of
the
most
important
steps
with
data
to
figure
out.
You
know
where
there's
the
most
impact,
if
the
steps
go
away,
where
the
steps
are
close
to
transit
or
schools,
etc,
and
then
on
the
policy
side,
I
do
a
lot
of
our
smart
city
work.
You
know
preparing
for
the
oncoming
driverless
cars
right.
What
does
that
mean
for
parking
in
the
city?
X
What
does
that
mean
for
traffic
signals?
Things
like
that?
How
do
we
focus
on
kind
of
using
data
to
make
better
decisions
right,
and
how
do
we
collect
that
data
and
analyze
that
data
in
a
way
that
actually
makes
it
useful
and
not
just
a
bunch
of
numbers
in
a
spreadsheet?
So
Jeff
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
he
works
on.
J
I'm
Jeff
skeleckian
and
the
other
assistant
director
I
do
project
delivery,
I
work
on
your
your
major
tip,
transportation,
improvement
projects,
program
projects,
those
are
your
big
federally
and
state
funded
projects.
What
I
do
is
I
work
on
all
your
I
work
on
your
roads
and
bridges
throughout
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
some
of
the
projects
that
we
work
on
as
you're
familiar
with
the
Greenfield
bridge,
Penn
Avenue,
a
roadway
Forbes
Avenue
in
downtown
Pittsburgh,
and
we
also
work
on
upcoming
projects
like
the
Charles
Anderson
bridge
going
into
the
park.
J
One
of
the
major
parts
of
my
job
is
to
figure
out
the
federal
how
they'll
get
funding
for
these
projects.
We
actually
have
to
go
out
and
figure
out
how
much
we
need
to
design
and
construct
a
project
for
my
projects
are
a
lot
different
than
pass
than
Alex
and
we
have
to
it's
a
longer
process
for
the
design
process.
We
have
a
West
Ohio
project,
West
Ohio,
Street,
bridge
project,
and
it
took
about
eight
years
to
design
this
project.
J
We
hit
a
couple
of
snags
for
it
being
Dean
historic
when
a
bridge
is
deemed
to
store.
We
have
to
take
the
right,
proper
federal
guidelines
to
design
to
construct
the
project.
We
also
have
to
do
and
work
with
the
community
in
what
they're
interested
in
the
bridge
looking
like.
So
we're
dealing
with
about
five
or
six
different
community
members,
and
they
all
wanted
the
bridge
to
look
different
ways
and
service
to
other
community
different
ways.
X
That
Allegheny
circle
the
so
that
that
started
kind
of
before
the
department.
Even
that's
that's
how
long
we've
been
talking
about
it,
but
you
know
gradually
as
some
of
the
team
members
that
had
been
doing
that
work
there,
particularly
the
engineers
that
have
been
kind
of
involved
in
the
design
that
that
kind
of
became
a
domi
project.
So.
Q
Where
would
you
like
Pittsburgh
to
get
to,
because
to
me
as
a
newcomer
to
Pittsburgh
it's
a
little
bit
hodgepodge
and
I
live
on
the
north
side,
so
I
get
a
lot
of
the
game
traffic
through
what
some
people
say
in
residential
with
the
businesses
say
is
not
residential.
So
what
are
you
trying
to?
What's
your
endgame
sure
so.
X
I
think
for
for
me,
or
at
least
the
way,
I
see
it.
It's
really
about
number
one,
taking
advantage
of
the
existing
network
right,
we're
not
in
a
situation
where
we're
going
to
be
building
new
freeways
and
new
highways.
You
know
we
just
we
don't
have
the
money,
we
don't
have
a
space,
we're
already
kind
of
built
for
twice
as
many
people
as
we
have
right
so
kind
of
adopting
that
fix-it-first
mentality
of
how
do
we
take
advantage
of
what
we
already
have
and
then
I
think.
X
The
second
thing
is:
how
do
we
kind
of
incentivize
or
encourage
transportation
and
trips
that
are
more
efficient
and
kind
of
manage
the
system
better
in
a
lot
of
ways?
That
means
you
know
more
mass
transit,
it
means
more
walking
and
more
cycling,
because
those
are
all
kind
of
lower
impact.
They
they
mean
that
we
have
to
repave
the
road
less.
They
mean
that
we
have
to
kind
of
build
less
capacity,
less
sort
of
complicated
intersections,
and
not
all
of
that
you
know.
X
Obviously
we
don't
run
the
buses,
but
what
we
can
do
is
sort
of
make
it
more
desirable
experience.
We
can,
you
know,
focus
on
making
sure
that
the
sidewalk
isn't
cracked
between
you
know
where
you
go
to
pick
up
the
bus
and
where
you
get
off,
we
can
focus
on.
You
know
how
we
connect
two
steps,
for
example,
to
get
you
to
those
destinations.
So
it's
really
about
encouraging.
We
talked
about
mode
shift
right
getting
from
people
that
would
otherwise
be
driving
in
a
car
by
themselves,
taking
up
a
parking
space
on
the
street.
X
Z
X
X
I
think
a
good
example
for
mode
shift
that
that
I've
been
thinking
about
lately
is
sidewalks
right.
How
do
we?
How
do
we
invest
in
sidewalks
that
that
actually
are
desirable
right,
and
how
do
we
collect
enough
information
about
the
existing
condition
of
those
sidewalks
to
be
able
to
you
know,
get
inspectors
out
there
and
to
enforce
when
people
don't
maintain
their
sidewalks?
How
do
we
encourage
and
and
maybe
provide
incentives
or
programs
to
help
homeowners
fix
their
sidewalks?
X
That
otherwise,
wouldn't
I
think
the
other
piece
that
we've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
is
the
the
way
that
we
use
our
transportation
projects.
So
we've
been
involved
in
working
with
the
Port
Authority
and
the
county
on
bus
rapid
transit
that
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
those
are
buses
that
are
running
on
city
streets
right.
They
are
going
to
be
running
kind
of
in
the
in
the
roadway
and
how
we
kind
of
dedicate
our
lane
space
to
cyclists,
how
we
dedicate
it
to
buses
and
not
just
to
cars.
X
C
Question
on
that
note,
what
you
were
saying
is
basically
as
far
as
the
sidewalks
now
we
all
know
that
there's
infrastructure
problems
and
basically
a
lot
of
the
streets
are
gonna,
have
to
be
as
I've
seen
in
certain
neighborhoods,
where
the
gas
companies
and
dug
up
most
sidewalks
and
replaced
them.
And
do
you
think
that
it's
fiscally
responsible
for
right
now
at
this
moment
to
push
like
a
campaign
towards
people,
repairing
that
so.
X
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
best
ways
to
kind
of
be
a
smart
city
is
to
not
tear
up
the
road
immediately
after
you
repave
it
right.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
utilities
that
do
work
in
the
right-of-way
right.
It's
not
just
the
city,
it's
PWSA,
it's
the
gas
company,
it's
the
cable
company,
so
how
we
can
coordinate
and
make
sure
that
we
make
those
investments
strategically.
You
know
they
know
what
they're
going
to
be
doing
three
years
out
in
many
cases
right.
X
So
how
do
we
save
money
by
kind
of
working
together?
Everybody
get
in
there
at
the
same
time
make
the
improvements
that
you
need
to
make.
We
have
to
repave
it
once
and
then
you're
done,
for
you
know,
X
number
of
years
that
coordination
is
really
important.
It's
going
to
save
the
city
a
lot
of
money
if
we
can
get
it
right.
