Department of Parks & Recreation, Department of Mobility & Infrastructure
A
B
Good
afternoon
everybody,
my
name
is
Anthony
Coghill
City
Council
representative
for
the
4th
District,
and
we
are
reconvening
a
meeting
that
started
yesterday
with
the
I'm.
The
chair
of
Parks,
&,
Recreation,
Committee
and
I
have
with
us
our
budget
director
mr.
bill,
where
Bannock
and
he
will
start
with
a
brief
overview.
Do
we
want
to
call
the
director
and
the
way
into
the
table
and
out?
If
you
would
please
come
up,
and
just
you
know,
give
your
name
and
you
all
know
the
routine.
C
E
F
There's
also
reorganized
two
recreation
supervisors
and
one
program
coordinator,
three
into
three
additional
program:
supervisors:
that's
in
that
increase
of
twenty
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
parks
and
recreations
non-salary
sub
classes
were
reduced
by
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
or
seventeen
percent
largest
change
is
driven
by
the
cleaning
contract
which
is
being
moved
to
DPW
operations.
I
think
we
had
some
discussion
about
that
briefly
today.
F
F
Additional
minor
changes
include
operational
supplies
where
there's
an
increase
of
thirty
thousand
dollars.
Office
supplies
decreased
by
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
Repairs
decrease
by
fourteen
thousand
recreational
services
increased
by
ten
thousand
dollars;
printing
and
binding
decrease
by
twenty
five
hundred
landscaping
decreased
by
two
thousand
and
data
processing
decreased
by
fifteen
hundred
dollars.
Parks
has
a
handful
of
operating
revenues,
including
swimming
pools,
which
nets
in
about
three
hundred
and
sixty
three
thousand
dollars.
That's
a
half:
a
percent
decrease
from
2019
the
summer
foods
program,
fifty-five
thousand
dollars
the
same
as
prior
year's
meeting
room
rentals.
F
F
Parks
and
Recreation
has
no
capital
budget
used
to
the
Department
of
part.
Public
works
is
the
responsible
Department
for
maintenance
and
reconstruction
of
all
city
parks,
all
fields,
recreation
and
senior,
centers
and
pools
and
spray
parks.
All
parks,
related
capital
budget
items
will
be
discussed
during
dPW's
budget
hearing
Thursday
December
5th.
So
if
you're
interested
please
tune
in
parks
has
several
trust
funds,
one
is
the
regional
asset
district
trust
fund.
The
projected
beginning
balance
in
that
trust
fund
is
to
be
three
hundred
and
forty
four
thousand
dollars
anticipated
revenue
over
2020
is
1
million.
F
Two
hundred
and
thirty
seven
thousand
dollars.
There's
no
position
changes
of
note
a
park
ranger
was
previously
budgeted
solely
to
Mellon
Park
trust
fund.
It's
now
split
between
the
Mellon
and
this
and
the
a
riot
rust
one.
But
it's
not
an
additional
ranger
staffing
is
now
five
point:
six
full-time
plus
funds
for
part-time
and
seasonal
mellon
park,
tennis
trust
fund,
beginning
project
balance
was
two
point.
1
million
is
projected
be
two
point:
1
million
anticipated
2020
revenue,
three
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
dollars.
F
There's
no
position
changes
of

staffing
from
a
budgetary
basis
reduced
by
two
point:
nine
full-time
plus
part-time
senior
citizen
program,
trust
fund,
beginning
balance,
fifty-six
thousand
anticipated

revenue.
One
point:
five
million,
which
includes
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds
budgeted
in
the
capital
budget.
There's
no
positional
changes
of
note.
Staffing
remains
budgeted
at
thirty
employees
for
2020
special
Summer,
Food,
Service
trust
fund.
Beginning
balance
is
anticipated
to
be
six
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
anticipated

of
five
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
no
positional

F
Staffing
remains
budgeted
at

full-time
plus

for
part-time

seasonal
employees.
The
fritz
brick
parks
trust
fund
projected
been
getting
balanced.
1
million
six
hundred
forty
eight
thousand
anticipated
2020
revenue
of
eight
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
trust
bond
no
longer
used
for
maintenance
of
Frick
Park.
Now
it's
solely
a
pass-through
for
the
parks,
Conservancy
and
the
environmental
center.
F
The
other
line
I'm
is
the
Phipps
conservatory.
Current
balance
is
$70,000
that
those
funds
are
now
controlled
by
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
that
was
per
our
agreement
with
the
with
Phipps
when
they
separated
from
the
city.
Not
to
pay
for
the
steam
heating
bill,
there's,
as
we've
mentioned
before,
and
there's
no
parks
trust
fund-
that's
created
at
this
time,
so
we're
not
sure
on
how
that
may
or
may
have
not
effect
the
budget.
F
The
special
events
trust
fund
was
transferred
to
public
safety
in
2018
and
the
Schenley
Park
rink
trust
fund
was
transferred
to
DPW,
also
in
2018.
So
that's
why
you
don't
see
those
those
things
there
now
with
that
I'd
like
to
hand
it
over
to
the
director
for
any
comments
or
highlights,
he
would
like
to
include
for
2020.
E
For
attending
nice
to
see
you
all
I
just
want
to
thank
council
thank
councilman,
Coghill
budget
director
Banach
thanks
a
lot
I'd
like
to
pretty
excited
to
be
sitting
up
here
today
with
two
assistant
directors.
You
all
know
LuAnn
her
an
but
senior
programs
fantastic
to
have
her
excuse
me,
I,
think
I'm,
getting
a
little
cold
and
and
newest
to
the
team.
E
I
think
she's
in
her
sixth
week
mm-hmm
right,
Katherine,
Vargas,
so
she's,
community,
recreation,
youth
and
families
and
Katherine
comes
to
us
with
a
an
array
of
experience
and
already
she's
amplifying
what
we're
doing
in
the
department.
So
we've
had
a
lot
of
support
from
council
from
the
administration.
We've
had
a
lot
of
direct
support
from
councilman
Coghill,
so
we're
happy
to
be
here
today
to
talk
about
2020.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Always
happy
to
be
here
represent
parks
for
the
coming
year
in
the
budget.
We're
doing
good
things
in
this
senior
program,
I've
been
out
visiting
the
centers
working
on
trying
to
bring
up
our
attendance,
and
our
Senior
Center
is
trying
to
implement
some
late
afternoon
programs
to
try
and
bring
in
some
of
the
younger
generation
'el
consumers
into
the
programs
and
we're
working
on
some
of
that.
We're
making
some
things
happen.
'morning
sites
trying
similar
programs
offering
some
I
believe
Beachview
is
going
to
be
bringing
some
programs
like
into
that
five
to
eight
o'clock
range.
C
C
C
A
C
C
But
yes,
so
yeah
and
I've
been
out
visiting
the
Centers
talking
to
them
as
new
to
my
role
as
well,
so
I
got
to
visit
tuck
with
his
seniors.
All
the
time
I've
made
a
couple
visits
up
to
Sheridan
working
with
that
group
and
I've
been
to
beach
view
home
win,
which
I
find
Homewood
to
be
a
very
well
attended
center,
that
community
of
theirs
wonderful
at
Homewood,
they're,
so
engaged
there.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
at
the
Market
House.
Getting
that
reopen
with
air
conditioning
made
a
lot
of
improvement.
C
She
would
appear
on
and
do
a
little
segment
on
Facebook
and
she
said
she
would
so
we're
going
to
go
out
and
and
that's
my
segment.
We're
gonna
start
doing
that
on
Facebook
and
go
around
and
get
a
little
story
from
everybody
about.
You
know
how
the
center's
help
them
and
I
think
that'll
help
market
our
centers
and
you
know,
and
get
the
people
at
home.
That
aren't.
You
know,
feel
that
they're
not
ready
for
a
center
to
get
a
sense
of
come
on
in
and
try
and
get
a
sense
of
community.
B
D
I've
been
in
Pittsburgh
for
about
11
years,
so
new
to
the
department
but
been
in
the
city.
My
background
is
in
youth
programs,
so
I'm
really
excited
the
last
six
weeks.
It's
been
a
bit
of
a
whirlwind,
but
I've
made
it
out
to
almost
all
the
rec
centers,
meaning
this.
The
aquatics
team,
our
food
program
team,
our
city
sports
team,
I,
mean
for
me.
What
I'm
learning
is
that
there's
really
amazing
people
doing
this
work.
I
know
like
in
your
district
hakim
I
got
to
make
it
out
to
the.
D
G
A
D
These
are
really
important
community
assets,
so
I'm
learning
that
being
out
there.
It's
also
been
really
great
working
with
this
team
learned
a
lot
from
director
Chapman,
so
I've
had
a
great
experience
so
far
and
I'm
hopeful
that
in
the
coming
months,
I
get
to
come
out
and
meet
with
everybody
at
Council
and
get
to
know
from
your
perspective.
What's
going
on
in
your
district
and
also
how
my.
B
But
I
will
say:
Hakeem
has
been
phenomenal,
this
guy
he
has
his
pulse
on
a
neighborhood.
He
knows
the
kids
that
come
in
that
bring
trouble
and
the
ones
that
are
good
and
bad,
and
this
time
of
year
was
Santa
Claus
and
all
he's
making
a
list
and
he's
checking
it
twice.
I
gotta
tell
you
so
he's
he's.
On
top
of
everything
and
from
my
own
personal
experience,
I
will
say
working
with
Lou
and
I
call
you
Lou,
okay
and
director
Chapman,
nothing
but
positive,
really
engaging
experiences.
I
mean
when
we
through
this.
B
What
was
it
up
at
Moorpark?
It
was
an
anniversary,
85th
anniversary
and,
and
your
work
on
that
was
out
of
this
world
I
mean
he
could
not
have
done
that
without
you
and
I
think
we
had
probably
two
three
thousand
people
there.
Throughout
the
day
it
was
incredible,
I
mean
the
mayor
came
up
and
there
was
just
people
everywhere
and
it
just
brought
the
community
together.
People
I
haven't
seen
for
40
years.
You
know
so
so
really
was
fantastic
and
without
your
help,
there's
no
way.
B
That
happens
whether
it
was
a
stage,
the
permitting
everything
that
comes
along
with
it.
So
so
and
I
always
toot
your
horn
and
that's
not
just
because
I
chair
the
committee,
it's
because
I
see
it
firsthand
I
don't
do
the
same
about
all
the
departments.
In
fact,
most
of
the
departments
I
have
a
really
good
working
relationship
with,
but
but
yeah
it's
really
easy.
Being
the
chair,
your
department,
I,
get.
B
No
and
when
events
like
I
have
up
in
the
neighborhood
and
special
events
come
about,
you
know,
you're
on
the
scene,
I
know
Rossi,
you
were
there,
you
know
when
Tony
Garino
and
we
were
putting
this
thing
together
and
I
was
kind
of
scratching
my
head
and
thinking.
Oh,
my
goodness
is
he
you
know.
Would
it
know
what
he's
getting
in
today?
It
went
off
beautifully
and
he
credits
you
in
your
department
fully
for
how
that
went
off
because
I
couldn't
have
done
without
so
soon
can.
B
G
A
B
A
J
B
Before
I
turn
it
over
to
Councilwoman
gross
and
Councilwoman
Harris
for
their
questions,
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
impressed
I
am
it's
not
many
times
you
put
something
in
front
of
us
and
when
we
look
at
your
operations,
decrease
decrease,
decrease,
increase,
decrease,
decrease,
more
decreases
and
increases,
so
that
shows
that
you're
fiscally.
You
know
responsible
and
I
love
to
see
that
myself
I
think
that's
fantastic.
So,
no
matter,
if
we're
talking
about
thousand
dollars
or
ten
thousand
dollars
or
a
million
dollars.
J
Greg,
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
We're
very
excited
about
the
the
programs
that
you
were
speaking
about.
I.
Think,
council
members
that
I've
spoken
with
often
agreed
that
we
wish
we
could
do
more
programming.
So
I
really
appreciate
how
much
you're
able
to
do
with
the
budgets
that
you've
been
given,
as
you
were,
mentioning
I've
got
so
many
constituents
who
tell
me
stories
about
how
they
grew
up
in
the
recreation
centers
and
we
don't
have
a
youth
recreation
center.
So
it's
you
know
it's
one
of
the
things
that
is
really
a
hot
topic.
J
A
conversation
I
can
promise
you
in
Bloomfield
right
now,
because
there's
the
empty
building
sitting
there
at
the
Bloomfield
pool,
which
I
know
you
all
were
so
gracious
to
come
out
and
do
walk
through
the
park
and-
and
that's
really
since
the
conversations
have
continued
for
the
last
couple
of
months,
really
the
desire
to
realize
that
for
a
park
to
be
kind
of
a
healthy,
safe,
welcoming
area,
you
really
kind
of
the
programming
is
an
important
element
right,
so
not
just
having
an
empty
space,
because
that
might
not
be
this.
You
know
safest
place.
J
J
It
makes
everything
actually
more
welcoming,
so
we're
we're
happy
to
talk
about
ways
that
we
can
empower
you
to
do
more
programming
in
the
parks,
I'd
like
to
shift
a
little
bit
to
a
slight
least
a
couple
of
technical
questions.
I
don't
want
to
scare
you
with
them
because
you
heard
some
of
them
earlier
today.
Just
a
couple
of
hours
ago,
we
approved
the
agreements
to
continue
with
these
trust
funds
that
mr.
banek
was
just
talking
about,
and
so
they
were
just
given
for
provisional
approval.
J
Earlier
today
and
I
asked
a
couple
of
questions
and
that
again
are
the
parks,
trust
funds
that
already
exist.
It's
not
a
new
one
to
receive
the
additional
millage,
but
these
are
ones
that
are
already
housed
in
your
section
of
the
budget,
the
rad
Parks
and
Recreation
trust
fund,
Mellon,
Park,
Tennis
trust,
fund,
citizen,
Earth,
citizens
program,
trust,
fund,
special
Summer,
Food,
Service
trust
fund,
Frick,
Park,
Trust,
Fund
and
Phipps
conservatory.
J
J
Okay,
so
you
know
people
at
home
can
pull
these
up
in
attached
to
this
session.
It's
a
mr.
banek
cardi
stated
that
what
the
balance
is
and
what
the
revenue
is
projected
to
be.
But
what
we
also
heard
earlier
today
is
that,
for
example,
the
Mellon
Park
Tennis
trust
fund.
It's
pretty
straight
forward
like
if
you
lease
out
just
that
tennis
bubble
at
the
Mellon
Park,
and
you
pay
a
permit
fee
that
dr.
ball.
Every
penny
goes
in
this
trust
fund.
Am
I
understanding
that
correctly
yeah
I.
E
So
the
way
that
the
facility
uses
agreements
are
used
by
our
department-
and
we
do
have
a
record
in
a
repository
of
those
that
we
do
they're
not
they're,
not
the
hermit's
per
se
permits-
are
for
shelter,
rentals
they're
for
birthday
parties,
they're
for
kind
of
one-off
events.
The
facility
uses
agreements
are
kind
of
a
longer
standing
mini
lease
agreement,
so.
J
E
Well,
for
instance,
there
may
be
there's
a
summer
camp
group
that
has
utilized
a
warrington
recreation
center
for
a
summer
camp
in
conjunction
with
our
programming
there
for
a
few
years
now
they
want
to
come
in
and
have
come
in
for
about
two
and
a
half
months
to
utilize
that
space
to
amplify
what
we're
doing
in
that
Center.
This
agreement
allows
us
to
seek
clearances
to
get
insurance
and
to
have
a
lease
agreement,
a
mini
lease
agreement.
E
So
what
they
allow
us
to
do
is
to
engage
kind
of
a
community
partner,
an
organization
for
more
than
a
one-time
event.
It's
not
exactly
a
community
group,
it's
someone
that
wants
to
have
kind
of
a
presence
and
help
amplify
program,
and
it
has
a
real
commander,
echt
community
kind
of
response
to
it.
So.
E
Any
city
department,
it's
again
it's
legislation
that
finance
and
I
think
that
policy
was
drafted
by
them
a
few
years
ago,
two
or
three
years
ago,
I'm,
not
real
sure
it
moved.
It
seemed
to
move
away
from
just
some
department
having
an
MoU
with
not
a
lot
of
meat
there
to
having
something
whereby
we
collect
insurance
certificates.
It
goes
to
the
law
department.
The
finance
department
signs
it,
so
it
allows
us
to
enter
into
a
lease
agreement
for
someone
to
help
carry
out
our
work
for
us.
So
we
had
it's.
J
E
E
So
these
agreements,
typically
in
most
cases
there
is
some
really
modest
fee
structure
to
them.
That's
not
it's
my
understanding.
It's
not
part
of
the
the
permit.
The
fee
schedule,
they're,
really
nominal.
It
would
be
my
preference
to
have
no
feed
tied
to
these
quite
honestly
because
of
the
work
they're
doing
in
conjunction
with
the
work
we're
doing,
because
it
results
in
to
noting
the
maximum
of
$10,000.
E
We
probably
see
maybe
$10,000
across
all
seven
or
eight
that
we
might
have
had
this
past
year.
So
it's
been
a
mechanism
for
us
to
continue
a
community
engagement,
touch
point
to
help
us
do
things
that
we
just
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
and
or
something
that
somebody
else
is
really
good
at
doing,
and
they
might
be
representing
an
area
or
a
group
of
kids
or
folks
in
a
way
that
we
can't
quite
do
facilitate
on
our
own.
E
J
J
J
E
E
J
E
J
J
J
J
E
C
C
Council
table
now
we
also
have
you
know
how
we
come
every
year
and
we
do
it.
What
we
call
the
generic
piece
of
legislation
for
consultants
10,000
and
under
we
have
a
separate
piece.
We
may
have
a
contract
there
that
we
would
that
separate
from
those
facility
usage
agreements.
We
will
hire
a
consultant
of
some
sort
that
we
would
pay
out
of
that
trust
fund.
That
could
come
up
and
that
could
be
for
a
tennis
instructor.
Maybe
will
we
pay
out
of
that
rad
trust
fund,
so
we
might
have
Jose
Mears
he's
our
tennis
instructor.
C
We
might
write
it
if
he's
doing
something
and
Schenley
or
something
we
might
write
a
consultant
which
is
separate
and
we
would
pay
that
invoice
as
they
would
go
through
the
controller's
processor,
but
we'd
have
a
contract
for
that
which
is
separate
from
those
mou
agreements
which
is
vetted
through
the
law
department
process.
But
it's
not
a
facility
usage
agreement.
C
J
Language
was
used
to
set
them
up
it,
they
just
went
away
and
they
don't.
The
expenditures
are
just
like
a
line
item
for
you.
That's
outside
of
you
know
other
than
this
conversation
right
now
about
how
much
money
there
is
right
here
right
now,
the
Mellon
Park
tennis
trust
fund
has
two
million
one
hundred
thirty
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
sixty
one
dollars
over.
C
J
J
No
termination,
they
don't
expire,
they
don't
have
to
be
renewed
as
a
trust
fund
each
year
and
that,
frankly,
I
don't
know
what
the
language
is
that
was
created
around
them.
So
they
would
have
to
figure
out
what
year
council
created
them.
Go
back
to
pull
up
that
language
and
see
what
the
structure
of
those
trust
funds
are.
F
J
F
F
F
F
The
other
comment
I
would
make
is
that
the
budget
line
items
are
all
there.
So
essentially,
we
are
you're
able
to
view,
and
by
casting
a
vote
on
the
total
budget,
you
can
you'll
be
approving
essentially
helping
to
approve
this
as
well
too
so
proving
on
an
annual.
The
only
thing
additional
that
I
will
say
is
that
they
are
required
to
follow
for
the
purchasing
requirements.
J
H
C
J
Did
you
want
the
expenditures
for
consultants
or
salaries
that
are
under
the
trust
funds,
so
that
Tenace
coordinator,
that
you
might
want
to
pay
out
of
something
or
the
professional
technical
services?
What
there's
some
employee
benefits
and
salaries
that
were
paid
that
are
projected
to
be
paid
out
of
the
Mellon
Park
trust
funds,
Brooke.
H
F
A
F
A
A
J
J
E
B
G
B
A
B
H
A
H
A
H
H
H
Because
I,
actually,
we
had
quite
a
few
more
senior
centers
and
we
were
supposed
to
have
a
new
rec
center
that
was
supposed
to
take
care
of
the
seniors,
Boy
Scouts
and
Girl
Scouts.
There
was
one
point:
six
million
sitting
there
and
the
mayor
decided
to
take
that
money
out
of
there.
Yes,
so
I,
don't
think
that's
happening
so
I'm,
hoping
that
cally
rec
comes
along
in
the
historic
building
that
it's
in,
but
I
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
what
you
do
great
job.
A
A
D
Yeah
so
I
worked
in
after-school
programming
for
a
really
long
time,
mostly
actually
Councilwoman
graces,
Gayle
Smith,
you
sort
where
I
worked,
but
working
on
everything
from
curriculum
to
activities
to
you
know
making
sure
food
things
like
the
food
program
that
is
run
actually.
The
city
runs
the
largest
food
summer,
free
programs,
summer
programs,
after-school
programs,
some
before
school
programs,
some
during
school,
so
kind
of
everywhere.
I
particularly
worked
most
closely
with
high
school
students,
but
I've
done
a
lot
of
work
around
curriculum,
professional
development,
kind
of
things
with
younger
kids
as
well.
Okay,.
D
E
H
E
Yes,
so
was
I.
You
know,
with
the
help
of
everyone
here
and
newest
members,
Catherine
now
we're
in
a
position
where
we
can
better
manage
more
transparently,
all
of
the
engagement
stuff
that
we
have
to
do
daily
internally
and
externally,
but
we
can
be
more
into
that
program
arena.
We
can
do
the
things
with
Kathryn
that
I
had
I,
don't
I
can't
haven't
been
able
to
get
to
so
with
direct
support
that
goes
to
the
whole
of
Community,
Recreation,
all
of
aquatics,
the
food
program,
community
enrichment
and
Mellon
tennis,
almost
everything
it
isn't.
E
Senior
Center
and
those
things
that
tie
into
those
trust
funds
to
have
someone
like
Kathryn
here
only
amplifies
what
we're
able
to
do
so.
This
was
a
position
that
was
put
in
20:19
s
budget
this
current
budget,
but
we
only
recently
hired
Kathryn.
It
took
almost
all
year
to
get
through
pointing
Luanne
and
then
bringing
Kathryn
aboard
so
I
thought.
Please,
please.
D
D
Just
gonna
say
well
and
what
I'm
excited
about,
particularly
having
been
able
to
go
out
to
the
different
rec,
centers
and
I've
been
taking
notes
on
the
particular
rec
concerns
that
you
guys
have
mentioned.
You
know
really
looking
at
what,
when
people,
when
people
sign
up
for
our
city,
parks
or
city
of
Pittsburgh
program,
what
is
what
does
that
look
like
and
how
does
it
responsive
to
the
community
and
also
responsive
to
best
practices
and
how
we
should
be
working
with
young
people
and,
like
our
summer
camp,
coming
up?
D
There's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
do
some
really
cool
things
with
that,
making
sure
that
everybody
who's
on
staff
feels
like
they're,
supported
in
the
work
that
they're
doing
that
they
have
the
right
kind
of
professional
development
and
training
to
be
doing
that
work.
Those
sorts
of
things
are
things
that
I'm
hoping
to
to
make
sure
you
know
on
the
ground
is
happening,
I
mean
even
as
supporting
our
program.
Supervisors.
D
I'm
learning
you
know,
there's
there's
things
that
will
happen
here
and
making
sure
that
we
have
a
streamlined
communication
out
to
all
these
different
places
where
community
facing
work
is
happening.
That
seems
to
be
something
that's
going
to
be
a
you
know.
A
big
part
of
my
role
and
and
I'm
I've
been
excited
about
a
lot
of
the
potential.
D
That's
there,
there's
really
awesome
people
really
awesome
people
doing
this
work
and
really
great
things
that
are
happening
in
in
the
various
rec
centers
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
what
I'm
bringing
is
a
lens
of
you
know.
How
do
we
take
what
we
know
are
doing
well
and
really
bring
that
up
to
you
know
the
next
place
and
the
other
thing
that
I
haven't
mentioned,
but
the
recta
tech
initiative
is
going
to
be
a
big
thing
to
happen
in
our
centers.
D
H
A
C
C
C
Just
that's
a
reimbursement
of
that
we
pay
from
the
rad
trust
fund
into
the
general
fund.
That's
something
different!
What
we
have
on
that?
That's
some
money
that
we
owe
for
benefits
into
the
general
fund
from
the
rad
trust
fund.
That's,
okay!
So
what
we
we
reimburse
the
general
fund
for
employees
from
the
rad
trust
fund.
That's
what
that
piece
represents.
We.
E
E
So
the
annual
red
money's
that
we
receive
I
guess
along
side
of
Public,
Works
I'm,
not
sure
whom
else
might
receive
them.
Ours
are
kind
of
specific
to
programming
and
those
those
things
are
not
so.
Capital
related
like
Public
Works
is
rad,
monies
might
be,
but
there's
a
personnel
cost
and
for
rad.
So
that's
that
reimbursement
piece
that
Lance.
H
A
E
A
E
Really
ain't
ramps
up
in
the
summer,
I
think
Carly
get
Minh
the
program
supervisor
there
might
have
been
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
meals
and
snacks
serve
this
past
summer.
So
there's
quite
an
imp
plus
food
sites,
so
we're
just
one
provider
for
that
program
as
Kathryn
indicated,
but
it's
a
really
really
important.
We're
looking
to
amplify
that
too.
But
yes,
there
are
monies
that
are
afforded
to
us
via
pub
the
public
school
system
that
make
it
possible
right.
H
C
A
E
H
H
H
K
H
K
G
H
A
H
C
C
A
H
A
A
G
K
H
I
H
K
Well,
thank
you
for
being
here
still
I.
Just
I,
don't
want
to
repeat
anything.
That's
already
said:
I
actually
was
in
a
meeting
about
a
rec
center
community
center
that
one
of
our
churches
wants
to
wants
to
build,
instead
of
just
trying
to
understand
what
they
were
trying
to
do
as
but
I,
but
we
also
are
working
with
Joey
Porter
in
our
area,
because
we
don't
have
a
rec
center
in
our
area
and
we
have
Rheem
rec,
which
we
was
closed.
K
We
opened
I
go
through
this
every
year,
but
we
have
a
we're
trying
and
a
commitment
from
the
mayor
to
work
with
us
to
get
a
center
open.
So
I
think
that
we
will
have
something
soon.
I
just
don't
know
how
soon
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
have
some
concerns.
We
have
the
Rec
detect
program
and
I
think
you
did
something
in
Langley
and
you
were
doing
something
in
Langley
and
that's
so
difficult
for
people
to
access.
K
I
really
hope
that
we
would
consider
maybe
doing
some
adult
programs
and
not
just
recreation
shouldn't
just
be
young
kids
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
adults,
young
adults
and
especially
coding
classes
as
we're
preparing
our
workforce
and
our
young
people
for
the
future.
I
wish.
We
could
offer
that
free,
some
free
classes
in
ours,
where
young
adults
who
have
to
work
might.
A
K
Too,
so
it's
not
so
daunting
for
them
to
learn,
but
it
actually
creates
an
opportunity
instead
of
another
obstacle.
So
I
and
I
mentioned
that
last
year,
summer
mentioned
again
this
year.
I'd
really
like
to
see
that
you
know.
Let's
move
forward
on
some
of
that
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
Flo.
Who
also
does
the
food
program
I.
A
G
K
C
K
G
K
A
A
K
And
then
I
just
really
want
to
ask
a
few
questions
about
the
I
understand
we're
having
a
difficult
time
keeping
crossing
or
keeping
lifeguards,
and
somebody
had
said
that
now
a
kids
could
go
and
get
a
job
making
$15
an
hour
or
whatever,
so
that
one
of
the
fast-food
places
or
someplace
like
that.
They
said.
E
Yeah
this
year's
a
20
29
earlier
this
year
was
a
2018.
There
was
a
modest
adjustment,
/
rates,
her
lifeguard
to
kind
of
tear
because
her
tiered,
if
you
come
in
more
experienced,
you
could
make
over
$15
an
hour
okay.
So
there
wasn't
adjustment
to
try
to
catch
us
up
to
work.
I
think
what
the
county
pays.
Their
life
course,
which
is
a
little
bit
more,
but
for
the
last
several
years,
there's
been
a
strain
with
recruiting,
recruiting
and
retention
right.
A
E
Think
it's
a
little
bit.
It
goes
beyond
just
what
we
pay.
Sometimes
we
Shelley
will
recruit.
We
just
have
a
hard
time
retaining
them
or
we
can
only
retain
them
for
a
certain
period
in
the
summertime
and
they're
off
to
school
earlier.
So
we
did
some.
We
tried
some
creative
marketing.
Last
year
the
team
attended
a
number
of
job
fairs.
We're
gonna
do
the
same
this
year.
They
get
the
word
out
everywhere,
so
that
kind
of
the
active
recruitment
campaign
starts
and
starts
now
really
to
get
the
word
out.
K
A
E
A
G
C
J
K
A
K
Felt
really
good
about
yeah
and
but
having
Kathryn
here,
I
worked
with
her
and
I've
seen
her
long
before
anybody
took
mentioned
her
with
the
United
Way
before
anybody
mentioned
her
here
in
the
city
and
I've
seen
firsthand
the
work
that
she
does
I
mean
amazing.
She
is
amazing,
so
I
think
together
that
you'll
be
such
an
amazing
trio
and
then
kids.
G
K
K
A
J
Something
that
we
kind
of
only
you've
mentioned
several
times
separately,
but
the
the
substantial
work
that
you
all
do
around
food,
it's
so
important
to
so
many
people
in
our
district
and
it's
so
important
to
every
Council,
District
I
think
so.
I
just
wanted
to
read
out
of
the
budget
again
I'm
on
page
288.
J
78758
meals
at
the
healthy,
active
living
centers
in
2019
and
that's
really
important
to
know
I've
been
with
discussions
even
with
food
activists
with
people
who
you
know,
spend
their
days.
Thinking
about
food
scarcity,
who
didn't
realize
that
and
I
mean
it
was
like.
It
was
amazing
that
again
someone
who's
very
concerned
and
wanting
to
see
to
do
more
around
through
justice
and
food
scarcity.
And
what
can
we
do
because
people
are
hungry
and
I
said?
G
J
Wants
a
centre-back,
as
I
mentioned
before,
but
really
fairly
community
located
accessible
to
seniors
throughout
the
city
I'm,
which
is
amazing
and
then
the
other
one
is
the
summer
program,
which
you
also
mentioned
briefly,
that
on
top
of
that
that
130,000
grub
up
free
free,
again
no-cost
summer
meals
and
snacks
were
served
to
city
youth
at
I
think
he
said.
80
sites
and
I
added
that
and
my
notes
as.
J
And
it
really
speaks
to
I
think
how
you're
out
there
in
meeting
the
needs.
I
begin
to
do
research
and
talk
about
gender
based
budgeting,
which
some
countries
are
doing
and
as
part
of
my
work
on
the
gender
equity
Commission,
trying
to
get
that
Commission
to
add
capacity
to
advise
us
on
the
gendered
and
intersectional
impacts
of
the
these
kinds
of
budget
decisions
that
we
make
and
I
think.
That's
just
a
really
perfect
example.
We
know
that
we
have
a
substantial
percentage
of
our
population.
A
J
B
E
B
E
I,
don't
I
don't
see
that
there's
a
real
timeline
as
to
as
to
when
they
might
become
maintenance,
expensive
or
intensive.
There
are
a
little
bit
different
in
pools.
There's
zero
depth,
there's
not
there's
none!
All
the
hygiene
is
not
the
rigorous
reporting
that
has
to
happen
via
Allegheny
County,
so
provided
that
the
infrastructure
is
pretty
good,
that's
been
in
place
and
and
part
of
the
build-out
of
it
they
could
last
for
they
could
laughs
for
quite
some
time.
Yeah.
B
Yeah
we've
got
one
in
b-tree;
they
love
it
yeah
yeah.
So
so
we
don't
really
know
the
life
expectancy.
I,
don't
know.
The
other
thing
is
with
I
know.
We
can't
project
where
the
new
tax
money
is
going
to
go,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
heads-up
I'm
planning,
an
indoor
arena
with
heated
seats
in
Brooklyn
all
right,
because
this
money's
just
going
to
keep
on
coming.
You
know.
A
A

You
just
man
just
yesterday
was
the
annual
senior
advisory
council
orientation,
where
each
Center
has
its
own
Advisory.
Council
members
is
that
treasurer
and
a
president,
some
of
them
are
ongoing
members,
so
I'm
not
talking
in
the
microphone.
Some
of
them
might
be
new
members,
so
they
get
oriented
and
trained
and
that
event
happened
yesterday.
They
are
kind
of
the
fiscal
agents
of
their
own
money.
So
every
decide.
A
E
C
C
C
C
E
J
C
A
C
G
J
We
have
so
much
interest
in
multi-generational,
programming
and
I
know
that
you
just
said:
there's
a
lot
of
like
rules
and
regulations
and
conditions
that
you
have
to
do
around
the
healthy
active
living
centers.
But
there
are
these
wonderful
models
that
I
keep.
You
know
noticing
and
constituents
keep
bringing
up
to
me
about,
for
example,
children's
programming
and
senior
programming
being
interactive
or
being
in
the
same
place.
I
personally
and
Gallants
of
other
council
members
may
as
well.
I
have
a
lot
of
retired
people
who
are
caregivers
for.
J
J
What
you
know
what
they're
like
trying
to
figure
out,
where
the
other
reading
time
sorry
I
know
you
have
the
reading
times.
But
here
are
these
again
retirees
grandparents,
who
are
you
know,
got
the
kids
all
day
and
are
really
looking
for
an
outlet
to
you
know
like
we
all
do
when
we're
giving
you
know
taking
care
of
kids
where's
the
story,
time
at
the
library
or.
C
We
not
right
now
we
have
our
at
the
market
house,
we're
advertising
we're
doing
our
ceramics,
we're
getting
light
up
and
running,
so
we
keep
offering
in
the
evening
a
ceramic
program
classes
at
the
market
house,
I,
say:
market
house
yeah,
that's
fine!
We
just
put
that
online
offering
that
program
and
some
also
some
crafts.
Our
program
also
also
in
the
evening
we're
gonna
do
at
the
market
house
now
that
we
have
it
all
remodel
them.
The
rooms
back
up
and
running
in
the
kilns
will
be
online
shortly.
So
that's.
J
F
K
And
we'll
continue
with
our
City
Council
Pittsburgh
City
Council
budget
hearings,
I'm
councilman
Teresa,
Cal
Smith,
the
chair
of
the
Department
of
Public
Works,
which
the
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
falls
under
and
Environmental
Services
and
some
other.
So
we'll
talk
about
that
those
budgets.
But
we're
going
to
begin
with
our
director
and
the
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
and
we'll
have
some
words
from
our
budget
director
from
city
council's
budget
director
opening
statements
and
then
we'll
hear
from
the
director
interesting.
So.
F
F
Of
the
the
mission
of
the
department
of
mobility
infrastructures
to
provide
the
physical
mobility
to
support
the
social

economic
mobility
of
the
citizens
of
the
city
through
the
management,
design,
improvement
and
operation
of
the
public
streets
rights
away,
the
Department
of
mobility
infrastructure
is
responsible
for
all
aspects
of
Transportation
and
and
city
provided
mobility
services.
Domi
is
responsible
for

F
Thirty

This

and
moving

however.
F
The
Department
of

is
responsible
for
a
majority
of
our
capital

I
have
detailed
here
with
the
help
of
mr.
Scala.
The
major
line
items
and
I
will
go
through
those
as
quickly
as
possible.

In
bond
for
for
that
project
in
2020
also
there's
projects
that
aren't
funded
in
2020
but
are
included
because
we
do
vote
on
a
six
year
plan
in
the
2021
through
2025
capital
improvement
plan.
Those
include
the
bus,
rapid
transit,
the
CDBG
signals
upgrades,
which
is
ongoing.
F
The
Charles
Anderson
bridge
tip
the
Mon
Oakland
connector
and
four
mile
run
trail
development
projects
throughout
the
rest
of
the
plan.
I,
don't
believe,
there's
any
in
2020,
but
this
would
be
for
2021
on
Smithfield
Street
part
of
a
tip
program
as
well
to
will
be
included
in
2021
through
2025,
as
will
the
Swinburne
bridge
through
2021
through
2024,
just
to
mention
as
well.
F
There
is
a
bunch
well
over
a
hundred
deliverables
attached,
I
think
120
130
deliverables
attached
instead
of
listing
all
those
and
speaking
through
those
I
figured
you'd,
be
able
to
know
most
of
the
ones
that
you
need
to
speak
about.
They
are
also
listed
in
the
capital
budget,
as
well
so
for
folks
at
home
and
for
my
members,
if
they
need
to
reference
a
specific
deliverable,
look
at
the
larger
section
here
and
most
likely
we
will
find
it
in
that
line
item
and
with
that.
Well,.
I
B
I
That
the
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
will
exist.
We
were,
of
course
established
by
an
action
of
council
in
2017.
2018
was
our
full
first
full
budget.
The
year
that
were
currently
in
is
our
second
and
then
2020
will
be
the
beginning
of
our
third.
So
we
have
a
relatively
small
staff,
but
they
get
a
lot
done
with
our
97
staff
members,
as
bill
mentioned,
the
the
mission
of
the
department
is
to
provide
the
physical
mobility
necessary
to
support
the
social
and
economic
mobility
of
the
people
of
Pittsburgh,
and
we
really
do
believe
this.
I
I
We
have
a
ways
to
go
in
this,
as
we've
seen
that
we've
had
some
pedestrian
and
bicycle
crashes
and
some
fatalities
even
even
recently,
but
we
endeavor
to
to
improve
as
much
as
we
can
the
safety
of
the
traveling
public,
and
we
measure
this
by
thinking
about
our
streets
and
intersections
intuitive,
to
use
even
by
an
adolescent
child.
Would
we
allow
a
school-aged
child
to
navigate
our
streets
going
to
middle
school,
because
if
they
can
do
it,
we
believe
that
our
our
older
adults
can
do
it.
I
Our
persons
with
disabilities
can
do
it
and
every
resident
of
our
city
can
do
it.
We
seek
to
make
sure
that
every
resident
can
access
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
within
20
minutes
Travel
of
home
and
that
they
don't
need
a
private
automobile
to
do
that.
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
get
to
groceries
and
get
home
before
their
ice
cream
melts,
and
that
this
is
something
that
every
resident
of
our
city
should
be
able
to
enjoy
that
that
all
trips,
less
than
one
mile,
are
easy
and
enjoyable
to
achieve
by
non
vehicle
travel.
I
I
And
we
do
know
that
as
housing
costs
rise,
it
may
be
a
heavier
and
heavier
burden
on
on
our
department
to
ensure
that
transportation
costs
can
decrease
so
that
we
can
offset
those
increases
in
housing
costs
and,
finally,
that
our
streets
reflect
the
values
and
pride
of
our
city.
Our
streets
make
up
about
one-fifth
of
the
land
area
of
our
city
and
it's
where
our
visitors
really
are
left
with
their
indelible
memory.
I
So
the
the
documentary
or
the
movie
and
Mister
Rogers
is
coming
out
this
week
and,
and
you
know,
do
our
streets
tell
the
story
of
Mister
Rogers
or
tell
the
the
character
that
our
city
is,
and
so
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
my
staff
comes
back
to
time
and
time
again
as
we
approach
our
projects
and
think
about
what
can
we
do
to
make
this
city
better?
Just
some
highlights
and
both
looking
back
and
looking
forward
over
the
past
year.
I
This
is
a
high-water
mark
in
recent
years
for
the
city
and
so
I'm
happy
to
see
that,
along
with
that,
when
we've
had
that
reach
street
resurfacing,
we
do
need
to
bring
our
curb
ramps
up
to
current
code,
and
so
we've
rebuilt
over
1,800
curb
ramps
this
year,
as
well
as
part
of
the
street
resurfacing
program,
concrete
brick
and
black
stone.
We've
made
a
major
investment
in
restoring
our
historic
roadways.
I
The
the
list
is
there.
I
won't
go
through
all
of
them
that
we
have
worked
on
throughout
the
city.
Grant
Street
was
perhaps
our
largest
brick
and
block
stone
project
that
we
took
on
this
year.
There's
more
work
to
do
in
future
years
on
Grant
Street,
but
you
no
longer
will
lose
a
filling
driving
on
the
segments
of
Grant
Street
between
7th
and
Liberty
Avenue
Bridge
repair
ism
is
a
large
budget
item
for
us
and
we
are
responsible
for
a
hundred
and
eighty
bridges
of
the
400
that
are
here
in
the
city.
I
We've
had
significant
issues
with
some
of
our
bridges
this
year,
where
we've
seen
concrete
falling
from
beneath
them,
we've
other
issues
of
concern,
and
so
we've
made
a
major
investment
in
in
2019,
and
we've
invested
1.4
million
dollars
in
just
bridge
maintenance.
So
this
is
not
full
bridge
replacement
or
rehabilitation,
but
just
in
bridge
repair,
1.4
million
next
year,
we'll
add
a
million
dollars
more
to
that
and
do
2.4
million
in
critical
bridge
repair.
I
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
underway
and
adding
to
the
major
bridge
project.
So
McFerrin
Street
Bridge
is
already
underway.
Deck
hollow
bridge
is
under
construction.
Lowery
will
see
major
improvements
next
year,
28th
Street
bridge
McArdle,
roadway
bridge,
California,
Street
Bridge
and
then
in
just
the
design
phase,
which
is
a
which
is
a
is
a
big
lift
for
the
department.
Two
significant
bridges,
Charles
Anderson,
bridge
and
Swinburne
bridge
are
both
in
the
design
phases
for
future
investment,
and
so
this
is
tens
of
billions
of
dollars
of
bridge
improvement.
I
Much
of
it
coming
and
with
much
gratitude
from
the
state
and
federal
resources
to
support
our
bridge
project.
I
knew
after
21
years
in
the
works.
A
new
West
Ohio
Street
Bridge
will
start
construction
next
year.
So
that's
a
six
and
a
half
million
dollar
project
and
in
the
councilman's
district
there
we
also
are
responsible
for
that.
The
numbers
vary
about
between
six
and
eight
hundred
sets
of
public
steps
in
the
city.
I
I
We
we
know
that
there
is
a
huge
backlog
of
steps
that
that
need
improvement
in
in
all
of
your
districts
that
are
here
and
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
chip
away
on
that
and
try
and
make
improvements
in
the
steps
in
the
coming
year
to
large
projects
that
will
undertake
the
Vista
Street
steps
and
the
Frasier
Street
steps
among
others
that
will
undertake
this
year.
We're
still.
A
I
We
are
a
city
of
fragile
soils,
so
we
do
see
a
significant
amount
of
slide
movement.
This
is
something
that
we
had
a
record
number
of
landslides
in
2018
that
we're
still
working
our
way
out
of
even
while
new
slide
events
continue
to
occur
in
the
city.
Dianna
Street
is
just
one
example
of
several
that
we
have
completed
this
year,
so
a
street
that
was
impassable
as
it
had
dropped
so
significantly
is
now
restored
as
a
full
Street
again
a
long
list
of
slide
mitigation
that
we're
working
on
list
is
underway.
I
Iv
Glen
has
been
addressed.
Park
wood
and
EADS
Street
has
continuing
work,
that's
needed
on
their
forward.
Avenue
Commercial
Street
will
be
underway
in
the
coming
months,
a
long
list
of
continued
work
that
will
we
will
address.
In
addition
to
bridges
and
stairs,
we
have
a
number
of
structural
sidewalks
and
other
structural
elements
in
the
city.
Mount
Washington.
Perhaps
you
know
that
the
signature
one
among
them,
where
we've
made
investments
in
repairing
the
structural
sidewalk
on
Mount
Washington,
we'll
continue
that
work
addressing
the
overlooks
and
other
deferred
maintenance.
I
A
number
of
retaining
walls
guide
rail
and
fencing
throughout
the
city
as
part
of
the
work
that
we
do
flood
and
storm
water
management
again,
a
critical
issue
in
many
of
your
communities,
and
so
we
continue
work
on
streets
run.
Some
cleanup
work
and
an
additional
design
work
and
sawmill
run
four
mile
run
and
partnership
with
a
PWSA
red
oak
and
Hasen
has
seen
some
work:
Mooney,
Road,
Gladstone,
Vidal,
II
and
others
that
we're
continuing
to
address
through
the
the
flood
project.
I
This
year
we
have
a
new
project
that
we've
that
we've,
which
is
really
addressing
some
of
the
critical
sidewalk
gap.
Sidewalks,
are
the
fundamental
building
block
of
everything
else
in
our
city
and
many
of
our
communities
that
are
most
in
need,
actually,
a
lack
quality
connected
and
accessible
sidewalks,
and
so
we've
begun
a
sidewalk
gap
program
in
Homewood
and
the
Hill
District,
and
then
we're
looking
to
expand
that
into
the
Hazelwood
neighborhood
as
a
starting
point.
There's
lots
of
work
to
do
there,
just
some
more
signature
initiatives
to
point
out
in
partnership
with
with
PennDOT.
I
Broadway
Avenue
is
a
project
that
we
continue
to
work
on.
So
we've
made
some
improvements
in
that
community
for
pedestrian
safety
and
placemaking.
New
public
art
will
be
installed
soon
and
then
we're
continuing
work
on
a
public
plaza
and
some
other
enhancements
to
really
address
the
beach
view.
Community
improvements
once
a
Carnahan
is
a
project
that
has
been
long
under
design
and
will
finally
begin
construction
in
the
coming
year,
so
that
we
can
improve
some
of
the
safety
and
operational
improvements
on
that
critical
regional
corridor.
I
I
And
so
that
we're
seeing
reinvestment
in
the
produce
terminal,
building
and
we'll
complement
that
with
significant
streetscape
investments
and
the
creation
of
a
signature
Plaza
on
this
corridor
as
well
in
partnership
with
the
Port
Authority
of
Allegheny
County,
a
major
investment
for
the
city
and
the
county
is
the
bus,
rapid
transit
corridor.
That
will
not
go
into
construction
in
this
coming
year,
but
we
will
continue
the
design
and
permitting
and
incremental
improvement
of
transit
services
and
between
these
major
destination
areas.
Just
some
compliments
too
I
have
an
incredible
team.
You
won't
you
all
know.
I
Many
of
them
are
in
our
sign
and
signal
shops
and
in
the
paving
division
and
they're
they're
out
there
every
day
doing
tremendous
work,
400
miles
of
line
striping
has
gone
down
this
past
year,
1213
500,
water-borne
crosswalks
were
painted
400
thermal
plastic
crosswalks
our
first
year
with
our
thermoplastic
machine
and
they've,
been
really
pushing
them
out.
2,500
stop
bars,
2,000
signs
installed
in
2700
signs
repaired.
So
if
you,
if
you
see
one
of
our
sign
and
paint
specialists,
you
know
Tom.
Thank
you.
They
do
great
work
every
day
out
on
the
street.
I
I
Traffic
traffic
calming
is
not
all
speed,
humps
I'm,
obliged
to
say
it
also
includes
pedestrian
refuge.
Islands
lane
modifications,
speed
hubs
are
one
one
tool,
but
we
really
strive
to
use
the
right
tool
in
the
right
place
for
what
the
community
outcomes
are,
but
we
have
had
now
nearly
a
dozen
places
in
the
community
that
now
we
hope
are
experiencing
a
higher
quality
of
life,
as
we've
been
able
to
slow
some
of
the
travel
speeds
and
increase
safety
in
their
communities.
I
A
number
of
Complete
Streets
that
we're
also
pursuing
which
include
Road
diets
and
slow
streets,
business
districts
again:
Broad
Street,
South,
Side,
neighborhood
Street
on
Maria
Chatto,
Street,
Road
diet
will
will
go
underway
in
the
coming
year,
willow
in
Hatfield
Lawrenceville
neighbor
way
as
a
slow
Street.
Also
next
year,
we'll
go
there.
We've
done
intersection
improvements
in
crossing
improvements.
This
is
in
the
Lincoln
Huntington
community,
but
throughout
the
city
as
well:
Miller,
Senate,
35,
Penn,
assured
and
5th
and
Bella
field
in
partnership
with
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
Woodward
in
Merrimack,
Davidson
and
40th.
I
So
signal
maintenance:
okay,
you
know
we.
We
are
grateful
that
we
were
able
to
add
additional
traffic
control
electricians
in
the
2019
budget.
We
are
now
able
to
run
three
crews
for
keeping
our
traffic
signals
up
and
running.
We
have
six
hundred
and
sixty
signalized
intersections
across
the
city
and
all
of
them
require
tweaking
at
one
time
or
another.
This
past
year,
888
signal
retiming,
seven
signal
revisions.
In
addition,
this
group
looks
after
the
Washington
Boulevard
floodgates
and
many
many
different
kinds
of
service
calls
and
improvements
that
are
needed.
Knock
downs
crashes
that
occur.
I
I
We
talked
earlier
about
the
ATC
MTD
project.
This
is
an
this
is
a
tremendous
project
to
address
a
hundred
and
twenty
three
signals
across
five
corridors
of
the
city
to
really
bring
them
into
the
the
leading
state-of-the-art
smart
signal
both
for
to
facilitate
the
movement
of
vehicles
through
our
city,
but
also
to
provide
for
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety
and
movement
in
the
smartest
system
in
the
country.
It
will
be
going
undergoing
design
this
year
in
construction
in
2021,
a
number
of
street
light
projects
that
we
have
across
the
city.
I
So
we've
completed
some
street
light
improvements
on
Highland
Avenue
working
now
on
Walnut
Street,
looking
at
LED
street
lighting
upgrades
and
and
other
ways
to
enhance
street
lighting
in
the
city
we
launched
our
safe
driving
pledge
so
still
encourage
folks
to
sign
up
for
this
to
do
their
part
to
help
traffic's
speeds
in
the
city
and
improve
safety
for
everyone.
This
is
really
a
community
driven
effort
to
help
manage
traffic
speeds
and
preserve
safety.
We've.
I
In
March
of
this
year,
we
launched
the
mayor's
executive
order
on
autonomous
vehicle
testing
in
the
city
and
and
with
that
put
forward
the
ten
Pittsburgh
principles
that
we've
been
now
really
pushing
and
working
with
the
AV
testers
in
our
city
to
promote
outcomes
that
benefit
community
objectives
and
community
driven
priorities
that
we
have
here
in
this
city.
We're
finalizing
the
the
bike
plan,
the
city's
bike
master
plan
for
a
ten
year
bike
plan
and
will
follow
on
with
a
series
of
different
implementation
of
that
plan.
I
I
A
number
of
planning
exercises,
putting
out
Complete
Streets
design
guidelines
working
in
the
different
areas
of
the
strip,
the
hill
district
and
Oakland
area,
parking
management
studies
and
mobility
studies
with
the
community
to
get
those
in
order.
We'll
begin
a
new,
safe
routes
to
school
program
this
year
and
so
working
with
a
selection
of
schools
in
the
area
to
make
sure
that
our
students
can
can
get
to
their
destination
safely
and
help
push
education
and
enforcement
interventions
there.
I
For
the
student,
we
do
know
that
there's
a
range
of
new
mobility
types
that
are
coming
out
throughout
the
country
and
they
will
be
coming
to
Pittsburgh
I'm.
So,
really,
looking
at
the
new
policies
that
we
need
to
put
in
place
to
know
where
these
new
mobility
types
need
to
go
in
our
streets
and
that
we're
able
to
proactively
handle
them
so
that
we're
not
put
in
a
reactive
position,
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
improving
our
right-of-way
permitting
process.
I
I
So
that
will
make
it
much
more
convenient
for
users
and
also
provide
much
much
better
data
for
us
to
man
and
enforce
the
use
of
our
public
rights-of-way,
and
the
two
positions
that
were
mentioned,
that
that
will
be
added,
will
be
added
expressly
to
assist
with
our
development
review
capability.
So
we
are
seeing
more
development
in
the
city.
That's
a
good
thing,
but
we're
seeing
increased
impatience
among
the
developers
at
the
pace
that
it
takes
for
us
to
review
their
traffic
impact
statements
and
review
their
right-of-way
plans
for
restoration
of
the
public
right-of-way.
I
So
those
two
positions
will
allow
us
to
stay
on
top
of
the
development
proposals
and
make
sure
that
they
are
restoring
our
city
streets.
We
have
a
great
team,
we're
small
but
scrappy,
and
they
get
a
lot
done
together
and
with
partners
across
the
different
departments
of
the
city
and
our
and
our
partners
across
the
county
and
and
the
state,
and
so
we're
really
happy
to
have
them.
I
There
are
people
that
need
to
pull
together
because
we
really
just
never
know
what's
going
to
be
thrown
at
us
and
so
feel
it's
you
have
to
have
the
ability,
Tori,
bus
and
a
whole
picture
at
this
point,
so
happy
for
the
support
that
we've
gotten
from
City
Council.
We've
got
a
lot
more
work
to
do
in
the
future
and
and
we're
eager
to
do
it.
J
J
So
I
just
want
to
thank
Tamiya,
firstly
for
all
of
the
fine
work
that
you've
been
doing
throughout
my
district,
especially
we
were
very
happy
to
be
some
of
the
early
adopters
in
the
traffic
calming
on
both
the
speed,
humps
and
Melwood,
and
and
Bloomfield
on
Edmonds,
Street
and
I.
Think
I
saw
the
construction
crews
out
today
on
her
Burton.
Yes,
they
work.
Yes,
so
we're
very
excited.
J
In
fact,
I
have
the
famous
spreadsheet
that
I
emailed
the
director
within,
like
her
first
days
of
being
in
the
city
where
I
went
back,
three
I
went
all
the
way
back
to
2014,
to
the
beginning
of
my
term
and
and
I
had
kept
track
of
all
the
requests,
because
there
are
just
so
many
from
my
district.
It
was
about
a
hundred
hundred
line
spreadsheet
of
her
class
that
had
been
turned
down.
Can
I
have
a
bump
out
here?
Can
we
have
a
stop
sign
there?
Cleaver
crosswalk?
J
Could
you
fix
the
striping
and
there
wasn't
capacity
really
there
as
before
we
created
doing
I
used
to
say
there
isn't
the
right
door
to
knock
on
to
get
to
a
yes,
we
were
not
staffed
and
resourced
for
the
amount
of
demand,
so
let
alone,
aside
from
major
development
projects
and
the
permanent
all
the
utility
work.
This
was
just
coming
from
residents
like
residential
constituents.
J
So
I
really
appreciate
that,
because
you've
made
nice
work
of
that
list,
I
went
back
three
years
deep
and
a
lot
of
those
things
got
installed
and
it
was
like
it
was
like
Christmas
had
happened.
Suddenly
the
constituents
there's
stop
signs,
we've
been
asking
for
this
for
years
and
they
just
magically
occurred.
So
adding
the
capacity
was
really
an
important
part
of
I
think
a
mere
polluters,
vision
and
council
spending
the
resources
for
this
new
department
and
director
excuse
done
a
fantastic
job
with
a
lot
of
pent
up
demand.
J
I
want
to
emphasize
I
feel
like
every
year
budget
hearings,
I
talk
about
when,
when
someone
brings
up
like
you
just
did
at
the
end
of
the
slideshow
major
developments.
Usually
it's
in
the
context
of
the
PLI
budget.
Hearing
and
I
say:
we've
had
so
many
a
malted
I
mean
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
multiplier
that
we're
up
to
is
I
want
to
say
it
was
a
500%
increase
in
permits
and
pl/I,
and
so
it's
major
developments,
but
then
also
like
individual
people
fixing
up
their
home
and
similarly
we're
talking
about.
J
Sir
me
dummy
it's
major
developments,
but
then
it's
even
an
individual
home
wanting
a
curb
cut
one
of
the
things
that
actually
is.
There
are
so
many
new
ones
in
my
district
that
now
they
become
a
problem.
Yes,
because
you're
turning
all
sidewalks
into
driveways,
that
weren't
driveways
and
so
you're,
really
taking
away
pedestrian
safety
and
pedestrian
space
and
as
well
as
parking
space,
which
is
a
very
tough
issue
in
a
historic
district.
J
So
there's
just
many
many
levels
of
things
that
we
just
weren't
facing
ten
years
ago
in
the
city
that
demand
for
regulation
for
permitting
wasn't
there
for
the
you
know,
policy,
making
the
analysis
and
the
impact
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
thank
you
for
really
having
a
very
nice
handle
on
all
of
it.
I
I
know
that
I
have
there's
a
it's.
Your
you're
obviously
doing
a
lot.
J
I
think
some
of
the
things
that
are
most
recently
on
our
minds
that
we
bring
up
every
year
are
around
utility
coordination,
and
that
is
now
in
your
purview
and
again
before
domi
existed
and
and
because
we
just
had
been
coming
off
of
decades
of
really
not
having
the
demand.
We
really
didn't
have
that
capacity,
and
so
we
gave
our
utilities
kind
of
just
like
open
season
permits,
do
whatever
you
want
whenever
you
need,
and
we
barely
even
knew
about
it
and
that's
just
not
good
enough
anymore,
especially
as
we're
kind
of
rebuilding.
J
J
Obviously
our
water
and
sewer
lines
are
100
years
old,
and
so
there's
both
the
burden
and
the
opportunity
to
coordinate
that
reconstruction
at
the
same
time
that
we
have
all
of
the
changing
needs
at
surface
level
and
changing
populations
and
destinations
with
demographic
change.
As
you
mentioned,
people
I
used
to
say
again
before
dummies
created
in
my
district,
because
we
have
new
and
population
turnover,
there
are
just
new
destinations,
and
so
that's
why?
So
you
know
people
want
to
change
on
their
neighborhood
streets.
Well,
the
church
that
they
used
to
be
there.
J
Isn't
there
anymore
where
the
school
is
another?
There's
a
new
school
or
there's
shops
on
the
Main
Street
that
weren't
there
twenty
years
ago,
and
now
it's
you
know
a
main
street,
that's
reborn,
and
so
now
people
have
different
demands
and
that's
the
department
where
they're
able
to
go
to
for
these
selections.
There's
almost
too
many
things
to
talk
about
for
a
very
long
double
budget
hearing
here.
J
J
The
directrix
is
presentation
where
she's
saying
you
know
it's
our
obligation
and
our
duty
to
really
make
sure
people
can
get
to
the
things
that
they
need
on
a
daily
basis
and
councilman
Coghill
likes
to
make
fun
of
me
when
I
cut
them
off
the
cuff
one
day
here
card
disadvantaged
people.
He
was
like
you
just
made
that
up.
J
Every
night
of
the
week,
because
there's
bus
routes
and
I'm
serious
I
had
a
neighbor
who
went
to
bingo
every
single
night
and
because
there's
child
care
in
their
schools
and
their
destinations,
and
it's
important
that
we
help
them
get
there
without
a
car
and
I
always
like
to
bring
up
that.
If
we're
talking
about
budgeting
to
help
our
needy
our
parts
of
our
population,
then
those
we
know
also
are
70%
of
our
neediest.
Households
are
female-headed
households
with
children.
So
this
way
to
get
to
school.
J
To
get
to
get
food,
I
mean
you
have
a
family
to
feed
at
home.
There's
a
lot
more
demands
for
logistics
for
your
household
and
that
we
help
them
to
get
there
so
I'm
wholeheartedly
in
favor
of
the
kind
of
complete
streets
funding
that
I
see
here
by
the
kind
of
not
just
paving,
but
all
the
other
parts
of
the
infrastructure
improvements
that
we
need
to
do,
and
it's
not
just
about
the
35
year
old
white
guy
who
has
a
bicycle.
It's
not
just
about
the
you
know
privileged
constituent
who
has
preferences.
J
B
B
So
director
X,
you
know
I've
been
saying
I
think
throughout
the
South
Hills,
it's
kind
of
like
you
know
they
kind
of
opposed
bike
lanes
when
we
were
doing
whether
it
be
the
Broadway,
Avenue
or
Brookline
project
and
I
kind
of
got
the
reputation
as
a
not
like
in
bike
lanes,
and
that's
not
the
case
for
me.
You
know
I
do
not
want
bike
lanes
on
our
business
districts.
I
just
think
what
the
rails.
There
is
a
lot
of
danger
there,
but
I'm
gonna
throw
a
challenge
out
to
you.
B
All
banged
up,
you're
right
but
I've
talked
to
Katherine
Kellerman
about
this
I've
talked
to
rich
Fitzgerald
about
this
there's
only
one
real
way,
I
feel
and
I'm,
not
an
engineer.
So
you
know
I'm
gonna,
take
it
for
what
it's
worth,
but
it's
through
that
Wabash
town.
If
you
didn't
get
a
bike
lane
through
that
Wabash
tunnel,
you
open
up
everything
but
for
all
the
way
to
Bethel
Park
to
Canonsburg,
people
can
ride.
H
B
It's
route
51,
it's
you
can't
CrossFit
I
mean
it's
just
too
dangerous,
but
why
best
tunnel
is,
you
probably
know,
there's
a
ramp
that
goes
off
to
the
left
into
a
warehouse
right
below
Brashear
high
school
and
it
takes
you
right
over
there
and
nobody
even
uses
that
RIM.
So
in
the
Wabash
tunnel,
I,
don't
think
many
people
use
the
wall
best
tunnel
either.
I.
Tell
you
a
truth.
Oh
so.
B
B
A
B
A
bike
lane
through
there
you'll
see
me
supportive
of
bike
lanes
throughout
my
district,
believe
it
or
not.
Okay,
because
that's
the
challenge,
if
it's
just
a
matter
of
putting
the
bike
line
up
and
down,
Broadway
Avenue
and
you're,
just
going
to
Dormont
turning
around
and
coming
back,
they
want
a
destiny
destination
in
downtown
for.
B
If
they
could
ride
your
bike,
downtown
and
you
know,
go
to
work
actually
doing
that
that
that
would
be
fantastic,
but
I
just
feel
like
somebody
will
get
killed
across
151
I,
don't
even
know
how
you
would
do
that
you'd
either
have
to
build
a
bridge
or
go
through
the
Wabash
Tunnel.
That's
just
my
thoughts
on
it.
You
know,
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
so
I.
I
I
Me
no,
we
appreciate
that
and-
and
you
know
with
some
of
these
emerging
types
of
mobile
I
do
bike,
but
but
I
do
have
an
e
bike
and
it
makes
it
makes
a
world
of
difference
to
be
able
to
get
up
and
some
of
the
topography
that
we
have
here
in
the
city
and
as
these
modes
become
more
available
and
affordable.
I
do
think
that
we
will
see
more
residents
avail
themselves
of
that.
I
As
we
progress
on
the
bus
rapid
transit
project
as
we
progress
on
some
of
the
other
priorities,
there
will
of
course
be
a
process
before
any
kind
of
decision
like
that
was
to
be
made,
but
the
more
connections
that
we
can
lend
the
more
ways
that
we
can
make
this
a
possibility,
because
modes
of
travel
such
as
as
bicycling,
are
extremely
affordable
and
again
that's
an
important
consideration
for
some
of
our
residents.
Who
really
you
know
struggle
you
know
even
to
have
$100
a
month.
You
know
bus
fare.
A
K
B
K
B
But
there
will
be
a
continuous
and
pour
over
to
the
other
side
of
the
road
and
those
steps
they
jet
out.
You
could
see
the
steps
they
got
scrapes
all
over
them.
People
you
know
hit
those
all
the
time.
So
that's
welcome
I.
You
know.
I
was
looking
forward
to
that
I'm
glad
that
was
talked
about
10
years
ago.
I
think
originally
and
I
guess
slated
it,
but
but
no
I'm
glad
so
that
project
is
moving
and
it's
gonna
be
continuous
they're
gonna
do
Carnahan
Sally
then
come
over
the
other
side
and
done
that's
great.
A
I
I
B
A
B
B
G
B
Temporary
to
flexible,
so
we
know
yeah,
now
we're
putting
the
permanent
ones
in,
but
even
now
he
came
up
and
made
some
changes
for
maybe
I'm
grateful
for,
but
even
though
there's
just
so
tight
like
it
I
feel
like
we
took
a
safe
driving
thing.
I
do
believe
it's
safer
for
pedestrians
across
at
the
tea
stations.
But
you
know
cars
now
have
to
go
out
into
the
oncoming
traffic
and
it's
like
I
feel
like
we
made
it
less
safe.
Then
right.
A
B
Trying
to
make
it
more
safe,
believe
it
or
not,
and
you
did
take
some
pulls
away
and
and
it
made
it
better,
but
it's
still,
people
were
banging
them
and
you
know
it's
just
like
I
just
want
to
make
sure
when
the
bollards
come
and
we
prove
disposition
them.
I'd
like
to
be
there
and
be
like
okay,
this
one's
going
here,
this
one's
going
there
you
know
and
just
okay.
A
B
Not
an
engineer
again
and
I
know
they
probably
go
by
some
specs
as
to
where
they
should
be
positioned,
but
it
just
didn't
make
any
sense
to
me
at
all.
I
was
like
so
frustrating
cause.
My
phone
is
ringing
off
the
hook.
People
are
saying
you
responsible
for
this,
like
no
I'm
trying
to
get
rid
of
them.
So
anyway,
they've
got
a
picture
of
me
backing
up
over
one.
You
know
so
so
they're
they've
really
become
like
the
adjustments
you
made
are
good
enough
for
now.
I
B
Know
we
got
some
beautiful
artwork
that
we,
we
were
all
agreed
on
and
that's
all
great
and
that
projects
it's
gonna
be
beautiful.
It
really
is
and
that
neighborhoods
gonna
change
and
it
is
changing
as
we
speak,
and
so
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
that
right,
I'm
just
afraid,
I
guess
to
put
bollards
where
people
are
gonna,
be
scraping
into
them
and
banging
into
them
again.
But
right.
I
So
you
make
a
couple
of
great
points
just
to
raise.
One
is
that
we
do
for
the
traffic
calming
projects
for
projects
like
Broadway,
for
some
projects
we've
had
with
pedestrian
crossing
island.
You
know
we
we
do
collect
data
before
and
after
and
we
do.
You
know
part
of
the
reason
why
we
do
the
Flex
posts
is
so
that
we
can
make
those
adjustments-
and
there
still
are
some
tweaks-
that
we
need
to
make
on
the
Broadway
project,
so
some
things
that
we're
seeing
out
there
that
we're
gonna
need
to
adjust
some
line.
I
I
Actually
is
we're
gearing
up
to
do
it
now
is
that
we
had
previously
the
DPW
construction
division,
what
we
relied
exclusively
on
the
construction
division
to
install
and
change
and
modify
the
Flex
posts,
and
they
are
very
wonderful
division
and
also,
you
know,
very
stretched
very
thin,
and
so
that
that
did
lead
to
some
time
delays
in
making
the
adjustments
in
the
way
that
we
may
have
wanted.
And
so
we
are
training
our
own
sign
and
paint
maintenance
specialists.
Now
to
also
as
so,
that
we
have
some
redundancy
and
resilience.
I
I
B
That's
not
a
it's
not
going
to
happen
and
I
think
until
spring.
As
far
as
the
painting-
and
you
know
the
permanent
ball
or
to
bet
them,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm,
like
there
and
I,
see
like
where
these
boards
are
gonna
go
I.
Just
you
know
the
other
thing
site
the
sidewalk
gap
right
you
were
talking
about.
That's
only
on
city
properties,
that's
not
private
property.
So.
I
There
are
the
this
was
a
grant
that
we
received
from
so
this
is
not
City
money.
It's
a
grant
that
we
received
from
PennDOT
in
order
to
address,
so
these
were
in
communities
that
are
CDBG
eligible,
their
communities
that
have
lower
levels
of
home
ownership,
more
centi,
property
owners,
more
transit
dependency,
less
car
ownership,
so
their
communities
that
really
rely
on.
A
I
Ability
to
to
walk
in
some
instances,
they're
places
where
sidewalks
have
never
been
yep.
They
were
never
constructed
to
to
begin
with,
but
it's
really
imperative
for
these
communities
to
be
able
to
have
this.
This
completed
sidewalk
network,
and
so
a
significant
number
of
the
sidewalks
are
on
city
properties
and
so
more
you
are
a
or
other
publicly
owned,
because.
B
F
I
We're
working
with
law-
this
is
a
new
program,
and
so
we're
still
working
out
some
of
these
aspects
to
it,
we
we
would
give
notice
because
it
is
in
the
right-of-way,
so
we're
not
doing
anything
that
is
beyond
the
right-of-way.
These
are
all
sidewalk
improvements
that
are
in
the
right-of-way
of
the
street,
not
on
private
property
itself,
but
adjacent
to
privately
held
properties
and.
B
B
H
A
B
I
B
I
A
G
B
B
B
A
G
E
I
I
G
G
B
G
B
Sure
you
can
look
underneath
and
see
if
it's
resting
and
stuff
like
that
right
I
mean
so
you
know
again,
your
department,
you
know
I
feel,
is
professional,
responsive
and
you
know
attentive
to
my
needs
and
so
so
I.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
one
last
thing
was:
did
you
see
the
story
where
that
neighborhood
and
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
in
Pennsylvania
where
it
was
where
they
put
in
that
back
words,
parallel
parking
that
you
wanted
to
do
up
in.
B
H
H
H
But
I
wanted
to
just
say
that
that's
worked
out
and
I'm
sure
they'll
be
working
all
whenever
there,
whether
they've
done
it
down
head
Allegheny,
General,
Hospital,
they're
working
on
a
Cancer
Center
down
there
and
they've
been
all
last
winter.
They
were
working
too
so
I'm
sure
these
guys
will
be
working
as
much
as
if
they
came
through
any
kind
of
weather,
but
and
I
have
very
good
result,
sort
of
working
with
your
staff.
G
A
H
B
H
I
I
I
Anew,
for
example,
is
is
at
the
Art
Commission
today
getting
approved.
We
hope
for
painted
curb
extensions.
We
did
a
supported,
councilman
Strassburger
and
a
painted
intersection.
We
had
the
painted
intersection,
I
think
Eric
as
well,
so
we
do
have
art,
but
in
the
right-of-way
it's
not
the
war
memorials.
Okay,.
H
I
I
I
A
systemic
concern,
so
it's
really
not.
You
know
we
don't
move
bus
stops
based
on
a
complaint
system
or
something
like
that.
It's
it
is
to
provide
for
the
operation
in
consultation
with
the
we
make
the
determination,
the
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
makes
the
determination
of
final
approval
of
a
bus
stop
location,
but
obviously
we
do
that
in
very,
very
close
consultation
with
the
Port
Authority.
It.
G
H
I
That
no
one
wants
anyone
to
speed
in
their
neighborhood,
but
they
are
sometimes
the
ones
speeding
in
someone
else's
neighborhood,
and
so
we've
really
targeted
it
to
to
our
own
residents.
We've
we've
pushed
it
out
as
have
our
partners
in
the
in
the
county
and
the
Port
Authority,
and
so
we
do
have
signatories
from
residents
that
are
beyond
the
city
limits.
So
we
have
gotten
actually
quite
a
few
a
couple
hundred
participants
in
the
program
and
it
really
does
make
a
difference.
I
I
See
it
is,
you
know,
fairly
common,
that
we
see
you
know,
rates
of
90
percent
non-compliance
with
the
maximum
posted
speed
limit,
where
we
have
median
speeds
that
are
approaching
40
miles
an
hour
on
25
mile,
an
hour
streets
and
many
of
those
people
that
we
observe
our
residents
of
this
city.
And
so
you
know
we
don't
need
to
install
thousands
of
speed
humps
if
we
can
encourage
residents
to
travel
the
legal
speed,
because
that
is
what's
necessary
to
preserve
the
lives
of
our
own
neighbors
right.
H
Also
brought
up
first,
the
capping
over
the
highway,
because
that's
what
we
wanted
to
do
to
bring
the
Northside
back
together
and
it's
being
used
up
the
hill.
So
quite
a
few
things,
I
brought
up
there,
weren't
no
wallah,
but
I
haven't
seen
it
on
the
north
side.
Okay,
I
I
know
I
asked
for
this
once
before
you
do
traffic
studies
too,
not.
I
H
I
H
I
I
Is
being
utilized
for
street
resurfacing,
because
this
is
something
that
you
know
while,
while,
ideally
we
would
like
to
resurface
our
streets
every
ten
years,
that's
routinely,
we
haven't,
in
particular
the
low
volume
streets
that
don't
have
transit
vehicles
on
them,
and
those
many
of
these
streets,
as
many
of
your
neighbors
and
constituents
and
residents
will
attest,
can
go
40
years
or
more
without
resurfacing,
and
so
it
is
a
long-term,
durable
investment.
But.
H
I
A
H
I
We
are
no
longer
doing
the
just
sort
of
surface
treatments
all
of
the
streets
that
we
do
are
milled,
first
and
and
overlaid,
and
so
we
have
adopted
a
superior
sort
of
street
resurfacing
approach.
Then
several
years
in
the
past
was
it
was
applied
on
the
city
streets
and
so
these
streets
are,
they
are
lasting
and
we're
seeing
it.
Even
as
you
recall
my
first
year
here,
we
had
a
more
than
a
few
potholes
that
that
they
do
come
back
every.
A
A
A
I
H
I
H
On
they
could
get
cancer
and
that
could
be
the
cause.
So
we
have
slips
and
falls.
We
haven't
going
into
our
gutters
I
mean
it's
a
great
great
for
Florida,
but
places
like
we
are
I'm,
not
quite
as
sure.
If
it's
last
thing
as
long
now
I
know
the
paint
that
we
were
using,
it
was
probably
the
cheapest
paint.
You.
H
A
A
H
A
H
That's
why
I
tell
our
people
to
go
for
an
example
but
okay
I
think
I
asked
Japan.
Oh
just
last
thing
and
I
know
it
don't
have
to
do
with
the
budget,
but
that
poor
lady
that
hasn't
been
able
to
park
in
her
garage
and
the
guy
said
asphalted
the
street
wanted
to
scrape
that,
so
it
should
be
able
to
get
a
car
in
a
garage.
Do
you
think
before
we
get
a
lawsuit
against
us
that
something
can
be
done
over
there.
H
H
I
want
to
thank
you,
oh
well,
you're
welcome,
because
I
don't
get
a
call
and
say
hey,
they
were
out
there
and
they
fix
that
so
I
thought
I
would
put
that
one.
But
thank
you
again
for
that,
but
it's
I
know
I
could
call
some
people
any
time
of
day
or
they're
out
of
town
or
they're
with
their
family.
You'll
call
me
back
so
I
really
appreciate
that
I
don't
have
your
cell
phone.

Okay.
Thank
you.
Therefore,
if
there's
something
else
from
other
council
members,
I'm
gonna
relinquish
these
good
people
for
the
administration
and
bring
this
session
to
a
close
again.
I'm
Debra
gross
I
had
to
step
in
for
a
Councilwoman
Theresa
Kell
Smith,
who
was
called
away
and
I
want
to
remind
council
members
that
this
was
our
first
of
our
few
weeks
of
budget
hearings,
so
we're
going
to
be
resetting
and
for
the
public.
We
will
be
reconvening
the
budget
hearings
tomorrow
morning,
Thursday
November
22nd
at
10:00
a.m.
J
with
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
and
then
also
tomorrow,
following
that
at
1:30,
I
will
be
chairing
the
budget
hearing
on
the
Department
of
permits,
licenses
and
inspections
only
I'm
losing
my
voice.
It's
been
a
long
day,
I
think
I
said
that
was
at
1:30
tomorrow.
So
with
that
I
just
need
a
motion
to
recess.
Thank
you.
We
are
recess.
