B
C
I'm,
a
city
of
Pittsburgh
resident
Northside
and
I'm,
director
of
organizing
for
ceasefire,
PA
and
I'm
here,
to
stand
once
again
in
support
of
council's
proposed
actions
to
regulate
firearms
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
to
wit.
In
order
to
do
that,
I'd
like
to
provide
some
statistics
for
your
public
record
per
population.
The
city
of
Pittsburgh
led
the
state
and
assaults
by
firearm
from
2013
to
2016,
at
a
rate
of
17.5
people
per
100,000
at
2016,
we're
a
consistent
second
in
robberies
and
assaults
of
firearms.
C
C
12%
of
these
homicides
occurred
in
one
zip
code
of
Alleghenies
count
in
the
Allegheny
County's
130
neighborhoods,
that's
1/5
to
0-6
East
Liberty,
East,
End,
Lincoln
Larimer
in
Highland
Park,
despite
the
fact
that
only
13%
of
Allegheny
County
residents
are
black
83
percent
of
total
County
homicide
victims
were
black,
something
I
just
learned.
Whatever
I
was
doing
this
research,
we
are
currently
we,
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
are
currently
number
15
on
CBS
News
is
list
of
deadliest
US
cities.
C
According
to
that
that
statistic,
our
murder
rate
is
eighteen
point
four
per
100,000
people
as
of
March
12.
Yesterday
there
have
been
four
homicides
already
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
this
year
and
there
have
been
four
others
outside
of
Pittsburgh.
In
2018,
there
were
96
gun
homicides
in
Allegheny
County
and
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
had
50
homicides,
including
the
11
Tree
of
Life
victims.
C
This
is
all
too
much
and
it
has
to
stop,
and
while
legislation
is
not
a
magic
solution
to
everything,
it
is
an
important
first
step
and
I
applaud
council
for
doing
what
they're
doing.
I
also
recommend
that
they
continue
to
fund
intervention
programs
that
the
group
violence
initiative
and
support
public
safety
efforts
throughout
the
city.
But
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
have
this
document
that
I
can
submit
to
your
record.
Thank.
D
Our
good
morning,
my
name
is
Stanley.
Levine
I
represent
the
homeowners
at
118,
a
Woodland
Road,
which
property
has
been
nominated
for
designation
as
an
historic
structure.
There
are
two
separate
and
compelling
reasons
why
the
house
should
not
be
designated
by
council
as
an
historic
structure.
The
first
is
that
it
requires
two
separate
acts
of
trespass
in
order
for
any
Pittsburgh
resident
or
any
tourists
to
see
the
home.
The
house
is
on
Woodland
Road
Woodland
Road
is
a
private
road.
D
The
second
and
and
I,
should
add
that
Woodland
Road
is
marked
at
various
points
along
the
roadway
as
a
no
trespassing
zone
very
prominently
and
they
I
guess
they
enforce
it
with
some
degree
of
rigidity,
but
but
not
a
lot
because
of
Chatham
University.
Secondly,
the
Snider's,
whom
I
represent
own
the
property
that
stand
that
sits
directly
in
front
of
the
house
designated
for
historic
designation.
D
That
is
the
118,
a
that's
that
house
fronts
on
Woodland
Road
and
in
order
to
see
the
house
that's
been
nominated
for
designation,
one
would
have
to
walk
down
the
driveway
of
the
Snider
house,
which
they
own
at
118,
in
which
they're
refurbishing
in
order
to
see
that
home.
So
it
would
involve
somebody
actually
walking
down
your
driveway
to
see
a
property
that's
been
designated
and
what
I'm
suggesting
is
that
it
really
invites
people
to
trust
pass,
not
over
not
only
over
Woodland
Road
but
over
the
Snyder's
driveway.
D
In
order
to
see
the
property
and
I
don't
know
about
the
legality
of
that.
That's
not
really
the
issue
I'm
facing
with
here
not
withstanding
the
effect
I'm
a
lawyer.
It's
just
not
right,
it
doesn't
make
sense
and
I
would
suggest
to
Council
that
over
the
past
four
decades
there
have
been
13
homes
that
big
that
designated
under
the
existing
code
in
the
president's
predecessor
code
for
historic,
designation.
All
of
those
homes
are
visible
from
a
public
way
or
a
public
street,
and
all
of
them
are
more
than
a
hundred
years
old.
D
Finally,
I
would
suggest
the
second
compelling
reason.
The
house
should
not
be
designated
it's
in
very
poor
condition
and
the
best
evidence
that
can
offer
to
that.
His
testimony
of
somebody
that
refurbished
his
houses,
a
fellow
by
the
name
of
dole
Joel
center,
who
testified
at
the
historic
review
Commission
as
follows:
I
walked
and
went
through
the
entire
Abrams
house.
After
miss
Abrams
death,
the
house
is
in
extremely
poor
condition
the
ductwork
underneath
the
house
is
built
on
top
of
a
it's
filled
with
moisture.
The
drywall
is
unmold.
D
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
HP
Jackson.
We
was
just
listening
to
Rob
and
it's
about
a
humanities
situation.
You
know
we
need
to
go
ahead
and
patch
up
our
young
people's
lives
and
what's
going
on
in
this
city
and
adults
also,
you
know
the
gun.
Violence
is
very
treacherous
and
everybody's
been
talking
about
this
for
years.
You
know
and
we
need
to
go
ahead
and
do
something
about
it
all
right.
You
know.
I
lost
my
oldest
grandson.
Well,
four
bullets
and
I
see
it
up
in
penny.
E
Oh
sorry
and
then
my
grandson's
classmate,
okay,
never
on
Susquehanna
Street
got
killed.
Okay
and
both
of
them
go
to
altar
days,
and
then
you
had
to
experience
what
happened
in
Squirrel
Hill,
all
right
it
all
connected
together.
So
reality
is
reality
all
right.
So
where
does
the
humanity
resources
come
from
right?
We
got
to
go
ahead
and
seek
the
truth
here.
You
know
what
is
the
truth
that
we
have
to
go
ahead
and
control
the
situation
here.
E
You
know
you
got
to
know
what
to
do
with
a
gun,
all
right
and
I'm,
a
witness
of
that
all
right,
cuz
I
done
lived.
It
years
ago,
all
right
representing
my
country,
but
where
does
the
humanity
stand?
You
know,
there's
no
spiritual
format
and
you
already
know
that's
the
issue.
So
who's
gonna
help
solve
the
problem
who's
going
to
go
in
and
participate
instead
of
doing
the
talk.
You
have
opportunity
today
to
go
ahead
and
transform
lives
here.
You
know,
you
know
the
mayor's
been
making
the
standard.
E
I
mean
you
got
public
officials
here,
making
a
stand
and
didn't
they
even
going
in
schools
talking
about
violence.
All
right,
you
can't
go
to
a
child
and
say,
like
you
better,
not
do
all
the
way
that
we
were
brought
up
all
right.
We
were
secure.
Basically,
we
had
our
parents
there.
We
had
both
pairs
here
to
go
ahead
and
interact
in
our
lives
and
give
us
a
direction.
There's
so
much
corruption,
the
subliminal
music
I,
even
see
young
white
folk,
sequin
:.
What's
up
my
come
on?
Look
what's
done
happened
to
our
country
day?
E
Did
you
ever
dream
that
our
young
people
was
gonna
walk
around
even
what
are
40
years
old?
What
they're
paying
us
off
hey
but
I,
mean
we
were
brought
up
with
character.
All
right,
I'm,
blessed,
I'm
gonna
be
66
very
soon,
all
right,
but
the
reality
is
the
reality.
Where
is
the
humanity
resources
to
go
and
stop
this
violence?
All
right?
Somebody
got
to
make
a
move.
You
know
somebody
got
to
make
a
step
and
I
hope
that
you
can
and
I
really
hope
you
make
your
vote
count.
E
F
Good
morning
my
name
is
dr.
Allison
Silva
I
am
a
pediatrician
and
violence
prevention,
researcher
at
UPMC,
Children's,
Hospital
of
Pittsburgh
and
a
Pittsburgh
resident
I
am
here
today
in
strong
support
of
the
proposed
legislation
to
ban
assault
weapons
and
high-capacity
ammunition
from
our
city
and
to
enact
an
extreme
risk
protection
order,
ordinance
to
safeguard
our
children
and
our
communities.
As
a
physician,
I
have
seen
firsthand
the
impact
of
firearms
on
our
community.
Firearms
have
taken
the
lives
of
far
too
many
of
my
patients.
F
I
have
borne
witness
to
the
pain
of
families
as
they
learn
of
the
death
of
their
sons
and
daughters,
as
we
so
painfully
experienced
with
the
Tree
of
Life.
Shooting
the
path
of
the
bullet
does
not
stop
with
those
whose
lives
have
ended
too
soon.
The
path
of
the
bullet
rips
apart
communities
leaving
medical
organizations,
including
the
American
College
of
Physicians,
the
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics
in
the
American
Psychiatric
Association,
specifically
support
legislation
to
ban
assault
weapons
and
high-capacity
magazines
and
to
enact
extreme
risk
protection
order.
Laws.
F
Firearm
violence
is
a
pub
health
issue
and
together
we
can
prevent
it
as
a
violence.
Prevention
researcher
I
am
well-versed
in
the
rigorous
scientific
research
supporting
firearm
legislation
in
the
past
five
years
alone.
Multiple
studies
conducted
by
leading
researchers
at
esteemed
institutions
and
published
in
the
top
medical
and
public
health
journals
demonstrate
that
firearm
legislation
can
save
lives.
Evidence
from
a
hundred
and
thirty
studies
in
ten
countries
suggests
that
the
simultaneous
implementation
of
laws
targeting
multiple
firearm
restrictions
is
associated
with
reductions
in
firearm
deaths.
F
A
recent
study
conducted
by
researchers
at
Harvard
University
demonstrated
that
stronger
gun
policies
were
associated
with
decrease
rates
of
firearm
homicide.
There
is
also
strong
evidence
linking
increased
firearm
access
to
higher
rates
of
suicide.
Multiple
rigorous
studies
show
that
counseling,
suicidal
patients
and
families
to
temporary
limit
access
to
firearms
significantly
reduces
the
likelihood
of
completed
suicide
right
now
we
have
high
quality
data
to
help
guide
firearm
legislation
and
save
lives.
F
Many
people
think
that
the
best
way
to
prevent
gun
violence
is
to
identify
those
at
high
risk
of
perpetrating
violence
and
to
use
graphic
educational
experiences
to
teach
them
about
incarceration
and
firearm
injury
results
from
seven
randomized
controlled
trials
indicate
that
not
only
do
these
scared-straight
programs
fail
to
deter
crime,
they
may
actually
lead
to
more
offending
behavior.
In
2018,
there
were
more
than
300
mass
shootings
in
the
u.s.
18
of
those
took
place
in
Pennsylvania.
F
The
most
lethal
involved
assault
weapons,
children
and
families
deserve
to
feel
safe
where
they
live,
work
go
to
school
worship
and
play
as
a
pediatrician
and
violence
prevention,
researcher
dedicated
to
the
health
and
safety
of
our
children.
I
urge
you
to
pass
the
proposed
ordinances
banning
assault,
weapons
and
large
capacity
ammunition
in
the
city.
Thank
you
for
your
attention.
G
My
name
is
Ellen
May,
so
and
I'm
here
from
at
UPMC
Children's
Hospital
of
Pittsburgh
on
behalf
of
dr.
Deborah
Maas,
who
was
unable
to
make
it
this
morning.
I
think
it's
important
for
me
to
speak
on
her
behalf,
because
she's
coming
from
the
at
this
issue
from
a
health
and
safety
perspective,
dr.
Maas
has
been
a
pediatrician
at
UPMC
Children's
for
20
years
practicing
for
20
years
and
just
as
significantly
she
this
year.
G
She
is
president
of
the
Pennsylvania
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics,
so
she
represents
2,300
pediatricians
across
the
state
when
she
speaks
on
behalf
of
this
support
of
the
city's
proposed
ordinance
to
ban
assault
weapons
in
our
city
and
allow
courts
to
remove
guns
from
those
deemed
at
risk
by
police
or
family
members.
Again,
it's
the
public
health
issue.
She
sometimes
as
often
is
asked
why
she
gets
involved
in
this
issue
of
gun,
violence
and
she's
asked.
Isn't
it
a
political
issue,
but
she
returns
a
response
by
saying:
I:
ask
you
it's
not
it's!
G
If
it's
not
a
health
issue,
why
are
people
dying
from
it
and
if
it's
not
simply
a
health
issue,
then
why
are
we?
What
are
we
doing?
Firearm
violence
is
a
public
health
issue.
It
is
a
public
health
issue
because
firearm
violence,
it
was,
is
responsible
for
injuring
and
killing
our
children
and
the
adults
who
care
for
them
at
alarming
rates,
because
firearm
violence
is
preventable
through
a
variety
of
interventions,
including
legislation
and
public
policy.
All
children
deserve
to
feel
and
be
safe
where
they
live,
learn
and
play.
G
The
proposed
city
ordinance
is
one
way
to
protect
citizens,
especially
our
most
vulnerable
assault.
Weapons
are
weapons
of
mass
destruction
designed
to
kill
or
injure
as
many
victims
as
possible
at
one
time.
Their
only
purpose
is
to
inflict
mass
casualties.
We
do
not
need
assault
weapons
outside
the
military
to
protect
our
citizens.
That
is
why
dr.
G
Moss
urges
you
to
pass
the
proposed
ordinance
banning
assault
weapons
in
the
city
again
as
president
of
the
Pennsylvania
chapter
of
the
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics,
who
represent
what
remember
this
2,300
pediatricians
across
the
state
and
the
children
they
serve
she's
asking
you
to
support
this
ban.
Firearm
violence
is
a
critical
health
issue
and
safety
issue
demanding
evidence-based
action
now.
Thank
you.
H
Everything
that
mrs.
Snyder's
council
referred
to
I
think
is
accurate.
The
the
observation
I
would
make
is
that
for
many
years,
Pittsburgh
history
and
landmarks
Foundation
had
a
wonderful
relationship
with
the
owner
of
the
house
and
through
that
owners
invitation
to
others
to
view
the
house
and
enjoy
it.
We
had.
H
Regarding
the
condition
of
the
house,
I
would
simply
point
out
that
it's
really
a
question
of
money.
The
house
was
occupied
by
mrs.
Abrams
until
her
death
and
certainly
there's
deferred
maintenance.
None
of
us
have
gone
through
and
done
a
detailed
analysis
of
what
it
would
take
to
put
the
house
back
into
apple-pie
order.
However,
Pittsburgh
history
and
landmarks
foundation
has
restored
homes
that
are
much
worse
condition
than
this
home.
H
We
are
currently
working
on
two
properties
in
Manchester,
in
which
we've
had
to
disassemble
brick
walls,
clean
the
bricks
and
relay
them
as
part
of
the
restoration
process
and
the
very
charming
market
at
fifth
development
that
Pittsburgh
history
and
landmarks
did
down
on
Market
Street
years
ago,
started
with
the
roof
in
the
basement
of
the
building.
So
you
know
the
question
is:
if
there's
a
will,
there's
a
way
and
it's
a
matter
of
price,
so
we
appreciate
counsels
deliberation
over
this
challenging
issue
and
we
continue
to
support
the
historic
status
thanks.
Very
much.
Thank.

My
name
is
Yvonne
at
Brown,
I
live
in
the
Hill
District
and
first
there
was
the
the
first
speaker
spoke
about
gun,
violence
and
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
because
I
had
been
coming
down
here
for
years,
telling
him
that
up
in
North
View
Heights
it
was
the
same
ones
that
was
doing
the
killing
the
same
ones.
When
the
one
fella
that
lived
up
there,
any
King
said
Ms
Brown,
it's
the
same
ones,
doorman
killed
him
because
the
police
would
not
actually
come
and
see
about
it.
I
You
know
I
told
you
they
become
two
or
three
days
later
and
I
said
we
need
a
police
presence
right
then
soon,
as
it
happened
key
days
straight
and
wrote
there
to
stay
there
stay
there
there
to
talk
to
the
people
and
I
come
back
two
weeks
later,
cuz
you
come
back
two
weeks
later
anything
that
was
said.
Those
people
might
end
up
dead.
But
if
you
have
them
all,
you
understand
the
whole
community
talking
at
once,
who
connected?
Who
can
they
blame?
But
it's
a
lot
of
times.
I
come
down
and
I
have
asked.
I
I
asked
the
mayor,
and
he
finally
did
and
I
thanked
him.
I
did
I
did
see
him
and
thank
them
even
though
I
told
him
that
the
other
people
were
talking
about
him
like
a
dog
and
I
was
too
because
some
of
the
things
that
he's
doing
now
I
have
a
problem
when
I
speak
here
at
City
Council
with
the
president
Krauss
president
president
Crouch
takes
in,
he
has
ad
hoc
meetings,
you
know
just
change
and
you
don't
know
what's
happening.
I'll
use
this
as
an
example.
I
It
says
in
order
of
the
order
of
business
for
all
stated
meetings
of
council
she'll
be
as
follows:
number
one:
you
presentations,
petitions
proclamations,
then
you
got
public
comment,
but
you
remember.
We
missed
crop,
miss
grouse,
but
she's
always
late,
didn't
come
you
put
the
people
first.
When
I
came
here,
dr.
Miller
said
he
already
had
public
speaking
but
I
said
all
the
way
through
the
whole
meeting.
And
you
didn't.
Let
me
speak.
I
You
have,
but
you
have
set
up
a
pattern
of
discrimination.
You
set
up
a
pattern.
I
still
do
towards
me.
You
said
up
a
pattering
of
the
white
people
can
speak
three
minutes
and
they're
only
supposed
to
speak
once
you
answered
her,
but
you
threw
me
out
to
meeting
I
am
tired
of
it,
and
I'm
am
going
further.
I
I've
got
to
take
it
illegal,
but
when
I
take
it
legal
I'm
asked
the
court
that
alone
you're
being
here,
because
you
don't
know
the
rules
and
you
won't
learn
the
rules
and
the
ones
that
do
will
not
speak
up
and
youichi.
Why
can't
you
call
the
point
of
order?
If
we
can't
do
that,
then
a
lawyer
must
be
here
every
time
we
have
a
meeting.
If
you
can't
take
me,
then
you
let
the
protein.
B
K
J
K
B
You
very
much
now
members,
we
have
a
very
long
mean
today
and
we
have
a
number
of
people
who
have
to
leave
early,
so
I
am
going
to
skip
a
little
bit
around
I'll.
Keep
you
posted,
but
please
try
to
follow
me
all
right.
The
first
thing
we're
going
to
do
is
on
page
7
of
your
agenda.
We're
going
to
the
public
works
committee,
of
which
Teresa
Kel
Smith
is
the
chair
and
we're
going
to
go
straight
to
it
is
actually
a
new
paper
bill
number
2019
14:59
on
page
7
in
your
agenda,
you'll.
J
1459
ordinance
amending
a
supplement
in
the
Pittsburg
Code
of
Ordinances
at
titles,
7-6,
I'm,
sorry
conduct
article
1,
regulated
actions
and
rights
by
repealing
the
existing
language
of
chapter
619,
refuse
collection
and
recycling
in
it
and
replacing
it
with
a
new
chapter.
619
municipal
waste
and
recycling
to
streamline
municipal
waste
and
recycling
recycling
practices
in
the
city.
I
need.
L
N
You
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
This
bill
is
really
a
clean
up
of
the
waste
and
recycling
bill,
so
it
is
taking
a
lot
of
information
that
previously
was
practiced
by
environmental
services
or
existed
in
the
previous
or
the
current
waste
code
and
puts
it
into
law
I'm
going
to
go
through
a
couple
of
different
things
that
it
does
so
we
now
have
with
this
bill.
We
will
have
more
consistency
in
our
regulations
and
in
the
code
it
updates.
The
language,
like
I,
said,
reflect
current
practices.
N
N
You
know,
should
make
it
clear
to
anyone
with
an
eighth
grade
grade
reading
level,
what
what
the
law
says
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
the
case
with
this
with
this
code
as
well,
it
incorporates
storage
and
set
out
requirements
into
the
code
from
the
waste
regulations.
So
that's
important
because
you
know
I
think
like
like
me
most
of
you,
Council
members,
probably
get
calls
from
neighbors
complaining
about.
You
know.
N
There's
some
other
kind
of
cleanup
items
in
the
bill
as
well.
So
what
I
see
this,
as
is
a
foundation
upon
which
we
can
then
layer?
Other
initiatives,
like
you
know,
providing
recycling
blubins
to
more
residents
across
the
city
composting
which
I
know
Councilwoman
grosse
is
a
big
champion
of
in
her
district
and
city
wide
other
kind
of
incentives
and
initiative.
N
Both
carrots
and
sticks
to
be
able
to
cut
down
on
the
amount
of
waste
that
people
are
actually
leaving
out
each
week
and
increase
the
amount
that
they're
recycling
or
or
just
using
less
in
general.
So
this
is
the
first
step,
I
think
to
many
many
other
future
steps.
I
know
that
this
is
also
an
issue
that
is
multifaceted
and
there's
a
lot
to
discuss,
but
you
know,
hopefully
we
can.
We
can
keep
the
conversation
moving
and
keep
it
on
topic
here,
because
I
know
it's
a
it's
an
issue
that
can
you
know
potential.
N
N
Section
and
I'll
just
also
point
out
in
front
of
you
in
your
green
packet.
You
have
a
set
of
different
pieces
of
information.
One
is
on
the
yellow,
the
actual
text
file
of
the
bill.
You
won't
see
markups
because
it's
an
entire
replacement
of
previous
language
and
you
wouldn't
actually
be
able
to
read
it
I
think
if
there
were
if
it
was
marked
up.
So
it's
a
almost
a
brand
new
piece
of
code
on
the
blue
sheet
is.
P
B
N
B
B
L
You
Reverend
and
I'm
gonna
Thank
You
Councilwoman,
because
you
have
been
you
know,
really
engaging
in
this
and
talking
with
Councilwoman
gross
and
I
and
I.
Don't
know
about
the
other
members,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
making
sure
that
we
were
included
because,
as
you
know,
councilman
Gross
has
been
really
interested
in
the
composting
piece
and
just
in
general.
This
is
under
my
committee,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
and
your
staff.
They've
done
a
lot
of
great
work
on
this.
L
L
O
O
In
fact,
I
was
very
very
pleased
to
see
the
plain
language
adopted
because
it's
an
important
part
of
due
process
in
this
country
that
everyone
know
what
behavior
is
expected
and
we've
dramatically
increased
the
readability
and
understandability
by
the
public.
So
everyone
should
understand
now
again
if
they
have
a
basic
education
and
they
can
read,
what's
expected
what
times
things
have
to
go
out
how
its
prepared
then.
L
Just
to
be
clear,
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
don't
have
a
basic
education
that
will
be
following
this
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
senior
citizens,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it.
You
know,
I
like
and
I
appreciate
that
the
the
clarity
and
the
language,
because
general
for
the
most
of
the
general
public,
but
absolutely.
L
O
L
And
then
the
part
I
have
concerned
with
are
the
blue
bags
I
mean?
Obviously
we
don't
want
those,
but
you
know
people
use
those,
but
I
do
get
a
lot
of
phone
calls
from
senior
citizens
the
last
time
we
did
something
around
recycling
and
they
were
just
concerned
that
they
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
use
their
blue
bags.
Well.
A
L
M
L
M
L
B
P
You
councilman
courage.
Congratulations!
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
happy
to
support
I
have
one
quick
question
for
you.
Please.
Under
the
definitions,
section
619
it's
on
page
5
of
the
legislation,
Jiji
waste
and
recycling
fact
sheet:
that's
the
incorporation
of
the
piece
that
I
wrote
any
number
of
years
ago.
That
requires
a
landlord
to
review
the
tenants
responsibility
to
manage
waste
that
where
that
remains
so.
N
Yep,
in
addition
to
waste
regulations
that
will
be
provided
by
Environmental
Services,
a
fact
sheet,
will
it's
my
understanding
and
allow
Environmental
Services
to
elaborate,
but
it's
my
understanding
that
a
waste
and
recycling
factory
will
be
reached
distributed
to
each
and
every
household,
and
then
it
is
required
here
that
landlords
landlords
do
inform
their
tenants
of
their
rights
and
responsibilities.
Something
that's
new
in
this
bill.
N
P
Is
indeed
the
case
I
like
that,
so
just
to
sort
of
refresh
your
memory,
honest
I,
can't
remember
when
I
wrote
this,
but
it
was
probably
a
good
ten
years
ago,
but
we
require
every
lease
that's
written
in
the
city.
The
landlord
has
a
responsibility
to
review
waste
management,
to
practices
with
their
ten
that
when
they
sign
the
lease
they
must
initial
with
sign
that
it
has
to
live
with
the
lease
and
then,
if,
for
some
reason
we
find
that
waste
is
not
being
managed
properly.
We
can
go
to
that
landlord.
P
We
can
cite
the
landlord
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
certain
that
that
all
remains
which
I
believe
this
makes
it
all
remain
and
and
then,
if
I
understand
the
Councilwoman
correctly,
it
would
also
then
hold
the
tenant
liable
if
the
tenant
is
not
managing
the
way.
It's
not
just
the
landlord
I'm
good
thanks
councilman.
This
is
great
work.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
happy
to
support
you.
Q
Thank
You
councilman
Strassburger
and
her
staff
for
kind
of
having
everything
so
well
organized,
so
we're
able
to
talk
through
on
the
sections
that
will
allow
us
to
kind
of
expand
our
options
with
composting
and
see
how
we
can
reduce
the
waste
stream,
because
we
know
that
it
costs
us
money
and
it
does.
We
can
save
on
how
much
waste
we're
hauling
off
to
our
landfills
and
create
more
good
that
we
need
to
amend
soils
I
mentioned
earlier.
I'll
just
keep
it
brief
us
fall.
Q
There
was
actually
an
entire
conference
on
a
two-day
conference
on
soils
at
Phipps
that
I,
attended
and
really
are
poor.
Urban
soils
allow
much
more
stormwater
runoff
in
flooding
than
we
would
like,
and
the
way
to
fix
that
is
to
amend
it
with
composting.
And
similarly,
you
know
I'm
this
rudimentary
understanding.
There
were
some
scientists
in
the
room
here,
but
also
with
the
contaminated
soil
that
we
had
also
the
way
to
reduce
that
contamination
and
make
them
healthier.
Soils
is
by
amending
it
with
things
like
compost,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
upside
here.
Q
We
save
money
on
the
leaves
every
year,
the
the
the
big
budget
that
we
spend
on
hauling
waste.
We
don't
need
to
be
hauling
off
to
landfills
and
diverting
it
into
more
productive
use.
So
there's
capacity
now
that's
easy
to
see
where
we
can
pursue
those
issues.
So
I
look
forward
to
further
discussions
and
and
further
capacities
added
in
the
code
and
in
the
department's.
S
S
R
B
J
1443
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
of
Public
Safety
to
enter
on
behalf
of
the
city
into
an
amendment
professional
services
agreement
with
freedom,
indeed,
LLC
Reverend
Cornell
Jones
for
continued
professional
services
as
a
multi-strategy
coordinator.
These
services
are
in
regard
to
the
national
initiative
for
building
Community,
Trust
and
justice,
and
the
city's
grant
agreement
with
the
Department
of
Justice
office
of
justice
program
office
of
Juvenile
Justice
and
delinquency
prevention.
As
previously
authorized
by
resolution
number
398
said,
amended.
T
This
is
simply
to
extend
the
contract
for
three
months.
As
members
should
be
aware,
we
are
banning
the
role
of
group
violence,
intervention,
we've
added
additional
resources
to
it,
and
so
a
new
RFP
will
be
going
out,
but
we
don't
want
to
see
a
lapse
in
service
and
so
that
RFP
goes
out.
So
this
extends
the
contract
for
that
period
of
time.
Pretty.
L
I
have
conversation
so
before
I
vote,
for
something
like
this
and
matter
of
fact.
Before
I
start
questioning
this
program,
I
have
been
told
numerous
times
that
they
would
expand
into
our
area
and
then
I
was
told
that
we
would
be
included
I'd,
be
including
those
conversations
so
far.
This
department
has
done
nothing
to
communicate
with
me
in
terms
of
this
program.
This
public
safety
department
has
not.
They
have
gone
into.
L
My
community
have
gone
to
events
scheduled
things
with
people
without
talking
to
me,
or
hiring
people
in
interviewing
people
without
talking
to
us
without
talking
to
my
community.
So
if
this
is
supposed
to
be
about
community,
then
it
should
be.
They
should
be
having
conversations
myself
in
with
other
people
in
our
community
that
are
involved
in
our
area,
not
being
told
who
our
leaders
are
in
our
area
by
by
other
politicians
that
they
should
be
talking
to
ask
the
people
to
actually
represent
the
area
so
I'm
getting
a
little
bit
ticked
off.
R
B
S
P
R
B
That's
a
police
matter
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
this.
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
on
the
table
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
abstentions,
steam
whoa
abstention.
Thank
you
very
much

recommendation

that
same

Equipment

As
you
all
may
know,
the
old
version
is
sort
of
the
very
long
black
billy
club
that
police
officers
used
to
wear
which
research
actually
shows
that
helps
incite
violence
when
you're
trying
to
deter
it.
The
modern-day
will
be
of
more
as
a
collapsible
version
that
they
can
actually
wear
on
their
belt
and
they
can
extend
and
when
needed,
hear.
B
The
conversation
no
conversation,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
faces
now.
Finally,
the
last
skipping
around
then
we'll
start
at
the
top
and
go

It.
P
B
V
Q
Q
V
W
And
the
director
of
the
department
of
permits
licenses
and
inspections
great,
so
the
purpose
of
the
funds
would
be
the
same,
but
CDBG
has
several
limitations.
We
can't
respond
to
fires
to
demolitions.
We
can't
take
down
large
structures
such
as
churches
and
schools.
We
also
can't
do
projects
of
density
like
around
the
community
center,
where
we'd
like
to
do
some
demolitions
there
and
in
some
census,
tracts
where
we
have
blight
but
are
not
CDBG
eligible.
So
there
is
there's
a
significant
issue
there
with
how
flexible
we
can
be
with
using
the
funds.
W
We
also
can't
respond
to
landslides
and
do
any
sort
of
geotechnical
remediation
or
things
like
that,
and
then
finally,
we're
not
getting
the
money
until
November.
So
if
we,
you
know,
did
not
get
that
money
until
November
the
limited
amount
of
Pago
funds
that
we
have
would
have
to
be
held
such
that
we
would
only
respond
to
true
emergencies,
and
we
could
not
do
any
other
types
of
demolition
activity
throughout
the
year.
W
Q
Q
P
President
cross
morning,
director
welcome
nice
to
have
you
here.
My
question
was
just
answered
by
the
council.
What
she
asked
so
I
would
only
comment
that
how
much
I
appreciate
your
diligence
in
in
understanding
the
importance
of
demolition,
reasonable
demolition
within
each
council
district
and
how
varied
they
are
and
how
different
our
needs
are
in
each
of
the
different
districts.
But
you're
you've
always
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with.
P
In
that
regard,
you
and
I've
had
extensive
conversations
about
the
the
need
for
demo
and
how
limited
we
are
in
terms
of
the
expense
and
all
those
kinds
of
things.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
your
your
diligence
in
in
pursuing
alternative
ways
of
providing
the
services
that
are
so
desperately
needed.
So
thank.
W
That
are
in
true
innit
danger,
where
they're
collapsing
onto
the
foot
way
or
a
traffic
lane,
there's
a
fire
that
has
significantly
destabilized
a
structure
or
other
sort
of
large
collapse
such
as
that
those
are
those
are
sort
of
what
we
call
curb
side
bits
where
there
already
has
been
a
significant
event.
That's
happened
where
we
need
to
take
further
immediate
steps
where
we
literally
hold
an
auction
on
the
curb,
and
we
invite
all
of
our
potential
bidders
that
are
approved
demolition
contractors
to
the
property
and
we
do
a
curbside
right
there.
W
So
what
I
was
talking
about
Emily
imminently,
dangerous
structure
is
a
minute
ago.
Those
were
the
types
of
properties.
Where
is
referencing,
where
we
can't
wait
even
an
extra
day
to
take
action.
There's
definitely
other
properties,
and
those
are
the
ones
that
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
get
to
with
this
additional
pot
of
money
that
are
imminently
dangerous,
that
might
collapse
sometime
in
the
future.
We
don't
want
to
wait
until
that
point,
because
it
could
cause
significant
risk,
we'd
like
to
act
now
and
those
so.
W
X
W
X
So
I
was
in
there
a
couple
weeks
ago
we're
just
trying
to
move
these
property.
It's
been
sitting
there
for
God
I,
don't
know
20
years.
Probably
something
like
that.
It's
it's
it's
eminent
I
mean
this.
This
place
is
like
falling
down
and
not
only
that
it's
the
blight
and
on
Broadway,
Avenue
and
Beachview
is
a
city
property,
and
there
you
are
a
on
property.
It's
like
so
so
they've
been
sitting
there
a
long
time
and
I'm
gonna
do
my
best
to
try
to
get
this
torn
down.
It
really
needs
to
tone
down.
X
I
took
a
walk
through
there
with
the
assessor
a
couple
weeks
ago.
I
don't
know
if
he
got
back
to
you
on
the
information
on
it,
but
you
know
we're
looking
around
and
I
know
a
little
bit
about
insides
of
buildings
and
structure,
and
things
like
that.
But
you
know
his
comment.
Was
we
really
shouldn't
even
be
in
here?
I
said
you
know
what
I
agree
with
you.
So
so
this
place
is
like
you
know,
right
on
Broadway,
you
have
a
new.
A
tea.
X
S
W
X
X
X
S
L
L
You
know
surrounding
my
area
to
see
what
they're
doing
and
I've
noticed
that
there
there's
have
not
increased,
and
so
I
know
that
it
was
because
of
the
asbestos
removal
and
all
those
sorts
of
things
that
ours
increased.
But
why
would
it
not
increase
for
the
cut
for
the
surrounding
for
the
county
for
the
entire
county,
I.
W
So
the
the
reason
why
we
didn't
have
a
the
reason
why
well
I,
guess
I
would
hazard
a
guess
at
the
answer
is
because
we
had
her
act,
47,
a
shared
services
agreement
with
the
county,
where
we
had
to
use
the
county's
contracts
for
things
such
as
asbestos,
so
the
county
controlled
the
Kemp,
the
asbestos
contract,
but
PL
I
was
the
sole
user
of
it
because
of
ak47,
but
the
contract
terms
were
written
in
such
a
way
that
no
one
actually
wanted
to
participate
in
it.
So
I
couldn't
get
any
bidders
to.
W
Give
us
an
asbestos
reading,
so
I
had
to
take
down
all
of
our
properties
as
hot,
which
made
you
know,
a
single-family
house
demolition
go
from
seven
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Now
we
that
shared
services
agreement
has
expired,
so
we
have
our
own
asbestos
contracting
procedure
now
and
we've
seen
prices
go
back
into
line
of
what
they
were
previously.
Okay,.
L
W
W
R
W
R
S
S
S
S
G
R
T
X
Y
I
would
say
this
might
be
a
month.
Okay,.
R
P
Just
had
a
site
of
briefed
cyber
with
the
director
about
horses,
especially
over
events
like
st.
Patrick's,
Day
and
things,
and
there
are
operative
efforts
between
city,
state
and
county
police
departments,
to
bring
horses
and
and
I
suspect.
That's
going
to
be
more
of
a
regular
thing
and
we'll
probably
expect
to
see
more
of
these
in
the
future.
But
it's
a
good
partnership
and
it
brings
great
benefit
unhappy
to
support
it,
except
in.
R

P

Second
action:
any
conversation
about
the
P
cards,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying

opposed,
nay,
it
takes

U
Carter,
thank
you
very
much.
I
want
to
thank
Council
I
want
to
thank
councilman
straws,
burgers
office
Hirsch
in
her
office
as
well
as
Matt
singer
in
my
office.
We
were
doing
today.
We
are
not
changing
anything
on
the
text
files.
The
clerk
has
a
summary
of
the
papers
that
are
going
to
be
added
to
the
legislative
record,
and
that
is
what
we
are
doing.
That
clerk's
office
is
passing
it
out
now.
U
B
B
R
B
But
it's
not
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
not
an
amendment
is
it's
simply
attaching
supplemental
research,
and
so
they
talk
about
the
bill
itself,
is
really
more
appropriate
to
talk
about
the
bill
and
its
legality,
not
on
the
Supplemental
research.
So
I'd
prefer
to
pass
this
through
and
then
certainly
you
have
more
than
enough
time
to
talk
about
the
bill
itself
in
a
second
okay.
B
R
I
just
want
to
say
on
all
three
of
the
gun
bills.
No
gun
bills
should
be
at
this
table
because
these
are
state
laws.
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
vote
on
these,
but
they
will
be
useless
because
their
state
laws-
they
are
not
City
laws
and
the
city
cannot
make
any
gun
laws.
It's
very
clear.
We
written
in
the
state
law
and.
R
You
know
if
you
want
to
go
up
to
Harrisburg
or
whatever
you
want
to
do
to
ask
them
to
vote
on
gun
laws,
or
we
can
do
it.
Just
as
this
council
voted
on
decriminalization
of
marijuana
and
people
thought
there
was
only
a
twenty
five
dollar
fine
and
they
ended
up
going
to
court
and
it
was
much
more
and
it
did
go
on
the
record.
Because
again,
this
council
does
not
have
the
right
to.
R
R
N
N
Although
it's
very
nuanced
and
it's
very
legal
I,
think
there
is
a
way
to
pass
legislation
that
is
allowed
is
allowable
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
that
we
are
actually
you
know,
given
the
authority
to
do
so
over
the
next
I.
Don't
know
I
want
to
don't
want
to
put
a
timeline
on
it,
but
into
the
future.
Looking
forward
to
working
with
all
members
and
talking
with
you
about
the
possibilities
of
all
three
of
these
bills,.
L
I'm
just
gonna
say
that
I'm
going
to
abstain
today,
I
talked
to
councilman,
O'connor
and
I,
and,
while
I
appreciate
the
the
need
for
for
gun
control,
especially
in
terms
of
the
registration
and
your
universal
background
checks
and
all
those
things
I
have
from
day.
One
thought
that
this
you
know
some
of
this
was
you
know.
The
intentions
were
good
in
and
there
was
also
a
part
of
me
that
thought
it
was
politically
driven
and
when
I
saw
today
the
speaker's
come
in
one
after
another
to
talk
about
how
horrific
gun
violence
is
I.
L
Think
there's
no
one
disagrees
with
that,
and
no
one
disagrees
that
we
should
have
some.
You
know
some
changes
in
the
gun
laws,
but
I
think
that
the
question
is
not
whether
gun
violence
is
horrible.
The
question
is:
do
we
have
the
authority
to
do
this
and
that's
what
should
be
reported?
But
of
course,
because
we
made
sure
that
certain
speakers
came
in
today
and
made
sure
that
we
said
today
we
won't
be
voting,
so
no
one
else
came
in
to
speak
in
opposition.
L
We
kind
of
controlled
the
message
here
today
and
I
think
that
the
message
really
should
be.
Do
we
have
the
authority
and
in
really
how
effective
is
this,
or
is
this
just
another
political
stunt,
because
it's
starting
to
feel
that
way
when
I
saw
what
happened
here
today?
Of
course,
people
are
going
to
say,
gun
violence
is
horrible
when
people
mass
murders
are
horrible,
I
mean
who
wouldn't
say
that
who
wouldn't
say
that
you
know
mass
shootings
are
terrible
unless
you're
doing
someone
someone
doing
it.
That's
not.
That
was
never
the
Commission.
L
For
me,
the
question
for
me
is
one:
do
we
have
the
authority
to
the
impact
in
the
african-american
community,
we're
bidding
the
guns
that
most
African
American
folks
are
arrested
for
we're
not
be
anything
guns
that
they're
shot
with
the
same
with
the
Latino
community,
and
so
those
are
the
questions.
I
have
it's
not
whether
or
not
it's
horrific.
Of
course
it's
horrific
so
for
me,
I'll
abstain.
Today
and
I
have
some
questions,
but
now
these
just
actually
today
just
actually
raised
my
level
of
concern.
Thank
you
simply.
B
S
B
Simply
want
to
say
that
it
is
my
opinion
and
hopefully
a
unanimous
ly,
agreement
or
counsel
that
our
goal
as
a
body
is
to
reduce
gun
violence,
whether
it
be
homicide,
suicide,
domestic
violence
or
mass
shootings,
and
we
may
disagree
on
how
to
do
it.
But
I
think
we
are
united
as
a
body
and
as
a
city
that
that
is
our
goal.
And
so
we
will
debate
those
methods
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
work
together
to
achieve
the
same
shared
goal.
With
that.
We
ask
that
mr.
B
J
Know,
1446
resolution
amending
and
supplementing
resolution
number
728
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
to
execute
relevant
agreements
to
receive
grant
funding
from
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Transportation
green
light,
go
grant
for
the
central
business
district
signal,
improvement
and
further
providing
for
an
agreement
expenditures
not
to
exceed
three
million.
Five
hundred
sixty
thousand
five
hundred
sixty
five
dollars
for
this
stated
purpose
in
order
to
authorize
the
expenditure
of
a
local
match
not
to
exceed
eight
hundred.
J
R
R
R
R
R
R
Z
So
what
this
grant
does
is
to
ensure
that
there
are
pedestrian
signal
heads
at
all
of
our
intersections
throughout
the
downtown.
So
a
number
of
our
intersections
don't
have
the
pet
heads
as
we
call
them.
So
this
would
allow
us
to
complete
installation
on
all
of
the
signals
throughout
the
downtown
so
that
we
would
have
those
okay.
K

C
B
J
B
Q
I
I,
just
I'm
gonna
abstain
on
this,
so
I
appreciate
the
public
comment
and
I
revisited
some
of
the
materials
on
this
and
you
know
I
always
at
heart,
a
preservationist,
and
so
this
is
a
really
difficult.
One
and
I
understand
the
nuances
on
each
side
of
the
issues.
So
I'm
gonna
have
to
chew.
On
this
one,
a
little
more
myself
I
heard
that
we
can't
always
say:
oh
there's
damage
because
I
live
in
a
hundred-year-old
house.
God
knows
there's
damage
in
my
house
as
well
right.
Q
We
all
have
we
have
old
infrastructure,
but
that's
the
point.
These
are
assets
and
I
just
want
to
always
throw
in
one
point
that
just
because
our
house
is
I
mean
this
is
a
postmodern
house
member
before
post-modernism,
you
know
right,
I,
I'm,
older
than
postmodern
architecture,
and
so,
but,
as
a
sociologist
were
always
reminded
that
the
people
who,
in
an
what
we
call
an
age
period,
cohort
chart,
is
a
great
way
to
protect
into
the
future
kind
of
what
each
age
group
is
going
to
value.
Q
Most
of
us
think
that
you
know,
architecture
that
existed
twenty
or
thirty
years
was
built,
20
or
30
years
before
we
ourselves
were
born,
is
legitimately
old.
Well
guess
what
this
house
is
20
or
30
years
older,
then
most
of
our
adults
are
now
right.
So
you
know
Millennials
who
were
born
in
the
1990s.
This
is
an
older
home
right,
so
I
see
the
significance
on
both
sides
and
I
just
like
to
keep
that
in
mind.
Q
When
I
first
moved
back
to
Pittsburgh,
the
city
was
considering
tearing
down
what
I
thought
was
a
beautiful
mid-century
bus
station.
It
had
what
seemed
like
acres
of
glass
turquoise
tile
inside,
but
nobody
appreciated
it,
but
in
my
age
but
I
was
in
my
early
30s
I
thought
it
was
amazing,
and
now
we
all
kind
of
come
to
value
of
mid-century
for
furniture
and
housing
is
something
every
one's
excited
about
it.
N
N
Is
the
history
since
not
of
the
house
itself,
but
since
the
previous
owners
and
caretakers
passed
away
to
today
and
yes,
the
previous
caretakers
invited
people
in
to
tour
the
house
and
we're
enthusiastic
about
it,
and
the
neighbors
essentially
accepted
that
that
was
a
situation
that
they
needed
to
put
up
with
and
we're?
Okay
with
that.
But
since
the
house
has
fallen
into
disrepair
and
I've
actually
taken
a
tour
of
the
house,
there's
black
mold
that
I've
seen
between
the
walls.
N
It
sits
at
the
bottom
of
a
hill
in
an
area
that
floods
and
their
weather,
you
know,
there's
the
risk
for
water
damage,
persistent
water
damage
if
it's
not
taken
care
of,
and
after
the
previous
owners
daughters
chose
to
sell
the
house,
there
has
been
no
one
in
2018,
July,
2018,
there's
been
no
one.
Who's
actually
come
forward
to
put
up
the
money
to
restore
the
house
in
any
way.
There
has
been
a
historic
nomination
by
the
Pittsburgh,
History
Lamarck's
foundation
and
mr.
N
N
Even
aside
from
that
fact,
it
is
a
house
that
needs
significant
financial
and
infusion
an
infusion
of
significant
significant
financial
resources
to
restore
it
to
any
kind
of
livable
condition.
And
although
there's
a
historic
nomination,
regardless
of
whether
we
vote
to
nominate
it
as
historic
today
or
to
you,
know,
preserve
it
as
historic
I.
Don't
see
any
evidence
of
really
anyone
restoring
it
to
its
former
glory,
so
that's
that's
mainly
what
I'm
thinking
about
I
understand
that
forever
is
a
long
time.
N
I
ever
understand
that
this
is
a
you
know,
renowned
architect,
who
built
this
house,
but
it
seems
like
our
choices.
Are
we
vote
to
name
it
as
historic
and
unless
miraculously
someone
comes
forward
to
want
to
spend
the
money
in
the
and
and
the
and
the
resources
and
the
time
to
be
able
to
restore
it
to
its
former
glory
like
the
house
in
front,
is
currently
restored
and
wants
to
purchase
it
from
the
current
owner?
N
N
Vote
against
the
historic
nomination
and
it's
it's
taken
down
so
I,
don't
see
the
difference
really,
except
in
just
kind
of
the
temporal
difference
between
those
two
either
buy
it
I,
don't
I,
don't
I,
don't
I,
don't
see
anyone
stepping
forward
to
save
the
house,
unfortunately,
so
that
is
why
I
you
know
I'm
gonna
be
voting
No
and
against
historic
nomination
at
this
house.
Oh
okay,.
P
Thank
you
very
much.
So
in
all
the
years
that
I've
served
on
the
council
I've
only
voted
against
one
historic
nomination.
That
was
the
Civic
Arena.
That
was
I,
think
the
most
difficult
vote
I
ever
took
because
of
the
significance
of
that
building,
but
understanding
the
history
of
the
building
and
what
it
contributed
to
unsettling
a
you
know:
entire
neighborhoods
of
people
and
and
and
the
ultimate
harm
that
it
did.
I
voted
to
take
that
building
down
and
I
still
wrestle
with
that.
X
Yes,
thank
you.
I
couldn't
support
it
even
before
I
heard
counsel,
when
Strassburger
tell
me
that
there
was
no
plan,
no
money,
nobody
to
step
up
and
actually
do
something
with
this
property,
but
I
couldn't
support
it
for
the
simple
fact:
when
government
gets
in
the
business
of
designating
a
historic
value
or
historic
property
on
private
property,
it's
just
just
not
right
I,
don't
believe
on
top
of
that,
I
just
want
to
share
with
you
a
conversation
I
had
with
a
woman.
Yesterday,
a
friend
of
mine
owns
beautiful
five
acres.
X
Beautiful
part
of
the
city
has
a
view
of
downtown
Pittsburgh
and
it
happens
a
butt
up
against
one
of
our
greenways,
which
is
gorgeous
right,
and
she
asked
me
if
I
knew
the
owner.
I
know
the
owner
very
well
he's
a
very
good
friend
of
mine
and
I
talked
to
him
about
that
property.
Many
times
she
said,
I
hope
he
doesn't
sell
that
to
some
developer.
He
said
because
we'll
be
picketing
up
there
and
we'll
be
giving
him
a
hard
time
and
I
said
well
why
in
the
world,
would
you
do
that?
X
I
mean
it's
as
his
own
private
property.
He
needs
to
sell
it,
so
he
can
afford
to
move
into
a
condo
or
whatever
he
wants
to
move
into
and
I
just
see
it
as
a
layer
of
government
getting
involved
in.
You
know:
somebody's
private
property
I,
just
you
know
just
can't
support
that
so
I'll
be
putting
new
as
well
very.
R
R
R
L
Just
real
quickly
I
just
this
reminds
me
of
the
Old
Stone
tavern
and
the
West
End.
It
were
designated
ten
years
ago
as
a
historic
structure.
Ten
years
it's
falling
and
disrepair,
there's
no
money
coming
forward
for
it
there's
been
a
lot
of
people
have
been
trying
to
work
on
it.
Nothing's
ever
happened
with
that
property
and
so
I'd
hate
to
see
something
something
that
should
be.
You
know,
preserved
for
the
history
of
the
community
and
and
cherished
turned
into
a
blight
in
the
community,
like
our
old
stone.
L
Tavern
has
for
our
area,
so
I
certainly
understand
this
and
I
mean
it's
sad,
because
I
do
I,
do
love
the
preservation,
I
love
preserving
as
much
as
we
can
of
our
history,
but
at
the
same
time
you
have
to
I
think
Reverend
Burgess.
You
had
said
that
when
so
many
times
before
that,
we
need
to
change
the
process
in
which
we
determine
historic,
designation
and
I.
Absolutely
agree
with
that
and
I
think
I
really
think
that
we
it's
beyond
time
is
I.
L
Think
the
more
we're
getting
two
properties
identified
as
as
possible
historic
landmarks
or
structures,
I.
Think
the
more
the
need
increases
for
us
to
do
something
quickly
about
the
process.
So-
and
this
is
not
my
district-
this
is
Councilwoman.
Strassburger
I
know
that
she's
very
in
tuned
to
her
district,
so
I'm
going
to
vote
in
support
of
the
Councilwoman
in
the
community.
Thank.
B
Basically,
I
believe
that
historic
designation
should
occur
only
with
the
owner
support
if
the
owner
does
not
support
it,
and
we
as
a
city
believe
that
the
property
is
of
such
value,
then
we
should
put
our
money
on
the
table
and
pay
the
owner
since
we're
going
to
rob
them
of
their
property
rights.
We
should
be
willing
to
offer
the
owner
the
fair
market
price
of
whatever
the
property
is
I.
Think
that's
fair,
a
you
know.
B
B
Not
to
do
it.
So
I
find
this
process
to
be
inherently
hypocritical
and
inherently
unfair,
and
so
I
have
said
that
publicly
and
privately
I
was
stunned.
When
I
came
on
council
and
found
out,
the
council
could
unilaterally
just
robbed
a
person
of
their
property
rights,
I'm
afraid
of
that
it
scares
me
half
to
death.
You
know
I'm
I'm
I'm,
not
against
history,
though
I
love,
history,
I,
live
in
the
in
the
front.
They
are
running
things,
I
live
in
historic
house.
My
house
was
built,
something
where
I
live
in.
B
B
B
R
L
B
Been
living
there
for
20
23
years,
I
think
so
many
24
years
and
where
I
live
is
public
and
you
know
has
always
been
there's
a
couple
signs
in
front
in
case
you
can't
figure
out
which
house
it
is
right
anyway.
So
there
is
a
motion
to
approve
on
the
table.
Probably
we
should
do
a
roll
call
vote
on
this
bill.

R
Q
L
B
B
R
S
AB
Sponsor
so
we've
been
working
pretty
closely
with
pirate
powers,
charities,
the
Boys
&
Girls
Club,
just
to
provide
some
support,
that
kind
of
wasn't
in
place
for
baseball
and
softball.
So
I
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
David
James
some
months
ago,
he's
an
Assistant
Commissioner
for
Major
League
Baseball.
There's
a
big
push
to
get
youth
motivated
now.
R
AB
We
were
able
to
solidify
some
sponsorship
money
which
will
go
into
like
an
account
grant
trust
fund
they're,
going
to
provide
some
income
donations
balls
bats.
Those
kinds
of
things
for
the
team
teams
are
expanding
their
RBI
program
to
be
more
inclusive
for
youth,
so
they're,
not
just
targeting
certain
neighborhoods,
but
all
area
neighborhoods
and
it's
just
a
way
to
grow
the
sport.
AB
So
this
is
kind
of
year,
one
sort
of
in
hoping
in
hopes
that
we
can
advance
the
partnership
and
the
collaboration
there's
also
a
couple
grants
that
we're
seeking
through
them
for
some
field
improvements
that
Department
of
Public
Works,
would
have
an
in-kind
match
and
effort.
We
think
they're
going
to
come
through.
So
that's
what
this
is
about
is.
R
AB
This
is
for
youth
baseball
up
to
18
it's
for
girls,
softball,
it's
for
any
of
the
participating
teams
in
that
operate
in
the
city,
sports
leagues.
What
I'm
no
expert
but
I'm,
told
that
baseball
and
the
interest
in
baseball
and
softball
in
the
city
is
kind
of
its
kind
of
waning
a
little
bit
so
MLB,
the
Pirates.
Probably
every
ball
club
in
the
country
is
interested
in
providing
some
push
so
we're
looking
at
how
to
have
t-ball,
maybe
in
gyms
or
pop-up
events
on
streets
for
kids
and
girls.
AB
They
want
more
young
girls
to
participate
so
last
year,
I
want
to
say
they
were
close
to
600
games
that
we
managed
at
various
fields
throughout
the
season,
probably
about
the
same
this
year,
hoping
to
grow
that
a
little
bit.
But
this
is
hopefully
a
step
in
that
direction
to
expand
the
sport.
That's.
AB
S
AB
We
don't
have
in
everything
as
everything,
that's
general
fun,
community
recreation,
whether
it
be
aquatics
or
baseball
or
whatever
it's
one
pot
of
money.
If
it's
not
a
trust
fund,
it's
all
out
of
that
same
pot,
so
for
them
the
Pirates
and
Christian
tur
and
Paddy.
Everybody
at
the
Pirates
has
been
wonderful
working
with
us
for
them
to
offer
something
for
year,
one
and
a
step
to
build
upon
that
even
for
field
maintenance
with
director
Gables
cooperation.
That's
huge
for
us!
So
we're
looking
at
this
as
a
way
that
maybe
more
next
year,
more.
AA
If
you
recall
back
when
ak47
came
on
board,
that
was
the
program
that
went
was
the
big
league
program
and
we
lost
all
the
funding.
And
so
we
as
a
department
found
it
still
to
be
a
valuable
program.
And
so
we
tried
to
operate
a
small
operation
with
just
part-time
staff
to
try
and
keep
it
going
so.
But
the.
R
AA
AB
And
we
have
a
now
that
we
have
a
program
coordinator,
specific
to
managing
all
of
city
sports,
whether
it's
futsal
or
volleyball,
or
this
steve
is
awesome
and
he's
got
a
great
relationship
with
Boys
and
Girls
Club
RBI
program,
the
Pittsburgh
Pirates,
it's
a
nice.
We
have
a
nice
forged
partnership
here,
so
everyone's
excited.
B
S
L
L
So
anyway,
but
for
me
I've
always
had
a
concern
that
we
were
privatizing.
You
know,
city
parks,
that
we
are
slowly
but
surely
whittling
away
at
pieces
and
services
we
are
supposed
to
and
I
don't
want
you
to
respond.
You
don't
have
to
respond.
You
can
say
some
of
it
occurred
under
ak-47,
but
some
of
us
been
occurring
every
year
and.
L
That
we're
out
of
ak-47
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
things
that
we
are
that
are
a
priority
to
us
are
the
services
that
we
want
to
provide
to
our
residents.
And-
and
this
is
one
thing
we
talk
about
a
lot
about
what
we're
doing
for
our
youth
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
But
to
me
we
should
be
making
sure
that
this
is
funded
and
funded
well
and
there
there's
a
rule
for
pilot
for
private
dollars
and
and
partnerships,
but
I.
L
Don't
think
that
we
should
be
making
sure
that
we're
protecting
city
parks
as
a
whole
and
that
it
remains
a
public
entity
and,
as
you
hear
and
see,
all
the
partnerships
that
are
occurring
you're,
starting
to
see
it
whittling
away
and
less
and
less
money
coming
into
it.
But
I
will
say
that
you
know
the
parks
and
the
fields
are.
Such
a
cost.
I
think
was
like
forty
thousand
dollars
to
renovate
a
field
and.
L
K
L
This
is
what
we're
they're
responsible
for,
educating,
kids
and
keeping
them
in
and
doing
things
that
you
know
beyond
education,
we're
responsible
after-hours
and
we're
responsible
when
they're
in
the
streets
and
in
the
community
and
on
the
weekends
and
in
the
summers
and
those
are
the
things
and
and
entertaining
in
some
ways.
So
I
think
it
would
be
great
for
us
to
work
work
on
this,
but
I
I
think
counsel
needs
we
vote
on
these
budgets.
So
you
know
when
we're
voting.
X
X
Me
when
we
talk
about
youth
athletics,
whether
it
be
softball
or
baseball,
I
mean
that's.
Where
I
grew
up,
you
know
and
for
me
I'd
still
say
my
most
valuable
lessons
were
being
part
of
a
team
and
to
say
that's
waned
over
the
years.
That's
like
an
Under
statement.
I
got
to
tell
you
my
neighborhood
and
we
used
to
have
I
swear
to
you.
I
would
say
150
kids
March
in
the
parade,
not
we're
lucky.
X
If
we
have
two
teams,
I,
don't
know
why
or
I'm
just
I
know
it's
nothing,
certainly
on
our
part
or
lack
of
funding
for
these
organizations,
but
I'm
so
glad
to
hear
that
the
Pirates
are
stepping
up
in
this
manner
and
providing
a
little
bit
of
relief
and
we
can
because
I
know
there
were
a
lot
of
needs.
You
know
every
field
basically
needs
something.
They
need
help
with
the
umpires
and
different
things
like
that.
So
I'm
just
curious:
do
they
contact
us
or
did
you
go
birddog
them?
You
know.

It
was
kind
of
a
priority
once
we
got
in
the
department
realizing
the
impact
that
it
has.
Youth.
No
excuse
me,
youth
sports
programming
has
for
youth
that
we
just
got
in
touch
with
the
points
of
contact
at
the
Pirates.
So
it's
very.
It
was
a
natural
kind
of
fit
to
what
is
kind
of
core
to
our
mission.

I,
just
supportive
of
both
what
councilman,
Smith
and
Coghill
said
and
I'm
happy
to
support
more
investments
in
both
our
leagues
in
our
fields,
especially
and
I'll,
be
asking
for
my
annual
meeting
with
my
coaches
to
talk
about
the
field
conditions.
I
know
last
year
was
a
tough
year,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
repairs
and
improvements
that
we've
been
waiting
for
for
a
long
time.
So
it's
wonderful
that
out
there

District
and
Richard
was
the
executive
director
of
Pittsburgh
growing
Pittsburgh
growing
and
the
diversity
inclusion
director
for
us
rowing,
and
he
really
has
increased
the
participation
from
a
diverse
participation
and
that's
and
that's
sport
of
rowing
if
he
could
do
it
for
rowing
I,
just
think
it's
worth
having
a
conversation
with
him
about
what
he
can,
because,
honestly,
when
he
was
coming
toward
for
the
city,
I
anticipated
him
working
in
city
parks.
Doing
just
this.
You.
L
Diversity
in
all
the
programs,
but
I
wish
that
you
would
also
have
the
same
partnership
that
you
have
with
the
Pirates.
I
hope
that
you'll
develop
one
or,
if
you
don't
have
one
already
with
the
Steelers
and
I
know
that
the
Riverhounds
soccer
has
been
amazing
and
I
want
to
say
that
they've
been
amazing
for
our
first
city
with
the
youth.
But
it
would
be
nice
to
see.
L
It'd
be
good
to
see
them
with
with
the
football
program,
because
those
that
cost
so
much
money
for
our
youth.

Thank
you
guys
and
Richard.
It's
just
a
shuttle.
Tour
he's
awesome,
and
so
we
have
worked
with
the
city
fit
team
on
some
initiatives
and
programming
stuff
and
they
come
to
us
often
so
to
integrate
Richards
expertise
and
some
of
the
stuff
that
they're
working
in
it's.
It's
there's
a
natural
kind
of
fit
there.
So
she's.
