B
C
My
name
is
Yvonne
F
Braun
I
live
in
the
Hill
District.
You
know,
I've
been
coming
down
here
for
over
27
years
and
I
feel
that
as
residents
of
this
city,
this
council
and
the
people
in
the
audience
don't
pay
attention
to
what
we're
saying
they
talk
amongst
themselves,
but
I
want
to
say
something
to
mr.
Burgess,
because
my
feelings
and
my
grandchildren's
feelings
were
hurt.
When
my
five
year
old
and
four
year
old,
well,
the
five
year
old
spoke
okay,
he
said
as
they
were
leaving
and
that
really
hurt
me.
C
He
said
this
is
not
the
time
and
the
place,
but
let
me
explain
something
to
you.
From
the
time
my
18
year
old
was
born
for
12
years,
I
babysit,
her
she
set
in
here
mr.
furloughs,
the
last
cuz.
She
was
the
baby,
sometimes
if
he
said
nah,
okay,
but
the
other
one.
One
is
sixteen.
That
I
came
down.
I
told
you.
She
was
born
to
Ireland
the
16
year
old
was
seven
years
old
and
in
the
second
grade
a
bit
Northview,
the
teacher
was
saying
they
didn't.
D
C
You
need
to
go
to
City
Council,
the
teacher
says
City
Council.
What
would
they
do?
She
said
you
go
to
City
Council,
to
tell
them
what
you
need
7
year
old
knows
that
you're
supposed
to
listen
to
us
to
listen
to
our
needs.
Now
my
square
son
is
in
his
20s.
He
came
down.
He
was
about
lying.
Mr.
Ricciardi
sent
him
a
shirt
from
the
police
and
it's
chequered
he
wore
to
school.
They
laugh,
he
said,
be
mom.
They
laughed
at
me
in
this
shirt.
You
know
what
he
said.
C
They
said:
I
look
like
a
cab
driver,
but
you
know
what
he
said:
I,
don't
care,
I
told
them.
Mr.
Ricciardi,
the
president
of
City
Council,
gave
that
to
me.
I
taught
them
to
respect
you,
but
you
can
say
that
they
have
no
right
what
age?
What
age
is
says
public
comment
and
they
are
children,
and
you
know
out
of
the
mouths
of
babes
for
an
old
man
like
you
to
to
actually
take
and
tear
down
my
babies
and
say
they
have
no
right
to
speak.
C
This
is
public
comment
not,
and
you
know
what
they
told
me.
You
know
what
the
newspaper
man
I
went
to
me.
You
know
he
said
you
know
mr.
Brown,
he
don't
like
you.
I
finally
was
to
thought.
I
was
talking
about
Crossman
I
said
sure
he
talked.
He
said
what
I
said.
He
said,
but
you
know
your
whistle
girl,
you
told
when
he
was
taking
that
money
from
the
URA
for
his
church
I
told
when
you
holler
that
Miss
Rudy
at
you.
C
B
E
C
B
H
I
I
The
pads
will
be
placed
on
the
patient
and
when
the
medics
arrive,
all
it
will
entail
is
unplugging
the
pads
and
plugging
the
heart
monitor
and
defibrillator.
In
addition,
we
are
going
to
place
a
DS
on
police
vehicles
within
the
city.
Our
first
responder
program
with
narcan
has
saved
numerous
lives,
as
well
as
the
tourniquets.
The
police
officers
use
day
in
and
day
out
and
now
I
think
it's
time
for
the
next
step,
which
is
to
put
the
automatic
external
defibrillators
on
police
vehicles.
I
In
addition
to
that,
we
will
also
place
them
on
the
Animal,
Care
and
Control
vehicles.
The
training
is
very
limited,
or
it
doesn't
take
that
much
time
to
train
individuals,
they're
trained
in
the
AED
along
with
CPR.
So
the
idea
is
like
narcan
is
to
put
as
many
AEDs
throughout
the
city
as
possible
and
with
that
being
said,
we
hope
to
purchase
a
TA
e
DS
for
police,
seven
for
emergency
management,
4
for
our
hazmat
personnel,
four
for
Animal
Care
and
Control
and
118
for
fire
and
68
defibrillator
monitors.
I
So
with
that
being
said,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
chief
Romano
for
anything
additional.
He
has
I
think
the
new
technology
has
increased
during
the
last
15
years
and
it's
not
only
three
leads
which,
when
I
was
a
paramedic
back
in
the
80s
there
now
utilizing
twelve
leads
to
be
able
to
monitor
different
portions
of
the
heart
and
the
electrical
system.
So
chief,
are
you.
H
J
Add
that
not
only
is
this
is
not
a
year
investment.
This
is
a
tenure
greater
investment
to
to
show
you
that
our
present
ones
are
in
the
15-year
range
have
come
to
the
end
of
life
and
I
had
briefed
the
director
since
his
arrival
in
Pittsburgh
that
you
know
this
project
would
have
to
occur.
You
know
at
this
time
so
we've
been
monitoring
this
and
so
we're
at
the
end
of
your
end
of
life,
for
these
monitors
a
repair,
the
parts
etc
all
be
going
away
in
a
next
year.
J
So
we've
come
to
the
point
where
we
have
to
spend
the
money
but,
like
I,
said,
it'll,
be
a
over
a
ten-year
period
that
we'll
have
e.
So
if
you
plot
that
out
plus
adding
all
the
AEDs
throughout
the
city
assistant
chief
Pinchuk
can
give
you
some
of
the
the
basic
information
he
oversees
all
our
training
and
he
spearheaded
the
the
committee
for
the
new,
the
new
monitors
and
what
they'll
be
able
to
do
for
us.
H
H
The
only
thing
I
would
ask
I'm
happy
to
support
and
will
support
only
that
I
ask
that
we
have
sort
of
a
phased
program.
You
know
that
in
ten
years
we're
not
replacing
the
entire
unit
again,
that
we
understand
that
they're
going
to
have
limited
lifespans
in
that
we
have
a
system
in
place
to
to
replace
over
a
period
of
time.
That's
all
but
I'm
happy
to
support
and
thank
you
for
your
work.
Yeah.
K
So
where
this
comes
in
being
really
important
and
I
any
more
from
councils,
interested
I
have
a
lead.
A
statistical
analysis
from
the
CDC
database
cares
have
some
of
these
here
if
anyone's
interested.
So
we
really
push
the
limits
in
our
current
resuscitation
programs
of
what
can
be
done.
Pre-Loss
Polly,
if
you
see
from
this
data
analysis
our
cardiac
arrests,
which
is
one
of
our
core
resuscitation
programs.
We
outperform
the
region,
the
state
and
nationally
both
for
delivering
patients
at
the
hospital,
live
survival
of
discharge
and
survival
to
discharge
with
a
good
neurologic
outcome.
K
But
despite
all
that,
when
you
look
statistically
the
things
that
really
determines,
if
someone's
gonna
live
or
die,
if
someone
witnesses
the
arrest,
someone
starts
CPR
and
time
to
defibrillation
for
shockable
rhythms.
So
those
are
the
patients
we
really
go
after
and
we
do
a
very
good
job
between
us
and
Fire
getting
to
those
patients
early
and
starting
resuscitation,
but
cardiac
resuscitation
set
of
emergency,
especially
for
the
brain
that
the
area
work
we
can
improve.
K
These
outcomes
is
getting
more
layperson
CPR
in
the
public,
which
we
do
a
lot
of
CPR
training
for
the
public
and
getting
more
defibrillate
defibrillators
into
the
community.
So
the
more
IEDs
we
have
out
there,
the
more
patients
we
can
get.
Those
on
have
shocked
more
rhythms
that
greatly
improves
your
survival
survival
from
a
shockable
rhythm
arrest
such
as
ventricular,
fibrillation
or
pulseless.
Ventricular
tachycardia
decreases
approximately
10%
per
minute.
K
So
if
we
have
more
IEDs
in
the
community,
we
we
really
boost
that
survival
of,
what's
gonna,
be
our
biggest
bucket
of
the
survivors,
and
we've
had
some
good
cases
this
year,
where
80s
to
save
live.
We
had
a
city
employee
who
suffered
a
cardiac
arrest.
One
of
our
medics
who
also
volunteers
for
suburban
service
was
nearby
with
an
AED,
shocked
him
and
he
survived
at
the
last
dealer
home
game.
While
the
cart
incident
was
going
on,
we
a
gentleman
collapse
in
sudden
cardiac
arrests
up
in
the
stands.
We
had
our
personal
right
there.

Guys
no
problem
so
I
know
a
friend
of
mine.
We
all
know-
probably
Billy
Mullen-
probably
wouldn't
be
here
today
without
a
defibrillator
so
many
years
ago,
I
don't
know
how
many
years
ago
it
was
some
time
ago,
but
the
technology
today
is
that
even
better
than
what
it
was
then
and
I
know,
director
I
heard
you
mention
that
technology.

They're
two
different

members,
I'm
Shawn

special
assistant
in

office
of
councilman
Burgess,
the
bill
councilman
cross,
just
sponsored
the
amendment
on
is
bill.
Number
21
81
in
the
public
works
committee.
The
amendment
is
changing.
One
word
in
section:
3
I,
don't
know
where
the
bill
is
in
your
packet.
B
B
B
E
Resolution
amending
resolution
7
62,
which
Arase
director
of
finance
to
enter
into
a
contract
or
agreement
with
the
Pittsburgh
Community
Reinvestment
Group.
The
contract
period
was
originally
November
1st
to
December
31st
2018
renewable
annually
for
up
to
three
years
by
mutual
agreement
of
the
parties
at
$25,000.
For
each
year
of
service.
H
B
H
F
Q
The
purpose
of
this
legislation
is
to
try
to
extend
the
contract.
The
contract
ran
out
at
the
end
of
2018.
What
had
happened
was
in
the
legislation
itself.
There
was
option
years
that
we
could
extend
it,
but
it
wasn't.
It
was
in
the
contract,
but
it
wasn't
in
the
legislation.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
clean
it
up,
so
it
can
coincide
with
each
other.
Q
D
H
Q
L
Q
And,
as
you
know,
specie
orgy,
they
they
evaluate
our
lending
institutions
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
by
extending
it.
What
we
can
do
is
have
them
lined
up
where
we
can
do
an
RFP
at
the
same
time,
because
they
coincide
with
each
other.
Pcr
SG
evaluates
the
community
reinvestment
plans
and
this
information
is
presented
to
the
Community
Reinvestment
Committee.
So.
Q
H
D
D
On
a
couple
your
address,
but
okay,
yes.
Q
D
Yes,
so
what
you're
saying
is
actual
city
residents
aren't
running
it,
but
so
for
me,
I
just
say:
I
just
always
have
concerns
with
with
using
the
nonprofits
and
the
way
that
we
do,
and
especially
in
terms
of
the
housing
issues.
It's
a
big
issue
for
me
be
concerned
for
me,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I'm
gonna,
thank
you
for
your
real
estate
department
came
to
a
resource
fair
that
we
had
this
week
and
Aaron
picked.
It
was
very
helpful
and
helped
a
lot
of
residents.
B
F
F
F
Q
F
G
F
D
G
D
G
G
Banks
to
report
so
that
we
all
the
public
can
see
whether
there
is
discrimination
in
mortgage
lending
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
there
are
multiple,
if
there's
like
some
federal
credential
or
anything
or
it's
just
we're
just
required
to
show
the
reporting.
So
if
we
could
get
more
information
by
Tuesday
or
is
this
part
of
I
think
this
is
part
of
compliance
but
I'm,
not
sure
if
there's
leeway
in
in
how
you
know
the
partners
we
used
for
compliance
so.
B
Q
D
D
B
Q
E
H
B
O
O
O
L

F
F
Down
the
street
closer
to
Perry
high
school
I
believe
it
was
three
or
four
houses
were
the
first
ones
to
go-
maybe
five
six,
maybe
maybe
seven
years
ago,
and
evidently
nothing
was
done
to
stabilize
that
street
at
that
time.
So
what
we've
had
is
building
still
collapsing
and
we're
up
to
the
newer
home
now.
Actually,
it's
come
in
on
the
other
and
two
is
public
works
or
anyone
going
to
stabilize
that.
So
no
one
else
loses
her
homes.
We.
O
O
O
O
F
F
A
O
But
I
don't
know
that,
there's
anything
that
we
could
say
that
there
was
action
we
could
have
taken
to
prevent
the
events
that
happened,
that
on
some
Aesir
Street
itself.
We
now
have
designs
that
we
can
implement
to
secure
that
that
roadway
and
stabilize
any
future
activity
from
happening
in
there.
So
that's
what
we're
pursuing
this
acquisition
in
order
to,
but.
F
O
F
F
L
O
F
O
O
B
M
Know
of
the
situation,
Councilwoman
Harris
has
there
that
the
funds
to
buy
them,
how
you
know
and
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
mayor
about
this,
that
we
have
reserve
funds
emergency
funds
for
such
a
case.
I
hope
not
to
have
to
use
them,
but
I
don't
want
to
use
up
all
those
funds
on
her
geology
studies
either.
You
know
I'm
saying
so
so
is
that
going
to
be
replenished?
Is
there
enough
there
to
take
care
of
any
other
catastrophes?
Do
you
know
of
that?
So.
O
That
the
geotechnical
studies
and
the
engineering
studies
generally
come
out
of
the
slide.
The
slope
funds,
its
the
acquisition
of
properties
that
are
part
of
the
settlement
funds
that
are
used
for
those
acquisitions,
so
they're
they're,
two
different
funding
sources,
so
the
geotechnical
studies
would
not
come
out
of
the
same
hula
funding
that
your
reference
so.

You
appreciate
it,
so
my
staff
has
been
doing
research
I
just
wanted
to
update
Council
I'll,
look
just
briefly,
because
I
feel,
like
these
things,
come
up
increasingly
in
other
districts.
So
what
looked
like
you
know?
A
paper
street
that
too
cold
you
know
neighbors
have
always
been
able
to
just
kind
of
take
on
the
property
of
is
our
normal
process
turns
out.
It's
LLC's
who've
acquired
many
many
parcels
who
are
looking
for
development,
and
so
now
we're
looking
forward
to
make
sure
that
we
have
kind
of
neighborhood
input
on
this.
G
It's
its
developers,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say:
that's
why
we're
digging
into
this
and
trying
to
track
down,
what's
actually
happening,
they've
acquired
many
parcels
side
by
side,
wedged
in
between
Butler
Street
and
riverfront,
and
a
real
steep
river
bank
that
they're
trying
to
propose
building
on
so
just
keeping
you
updated.
So
if
we
could
have
three
weeks
this
time,
emotional
hold
three
weeks.
D
G
G
S
F
S
G
G
S
S
S
The
first
piece
is
actually
executing
a
supply
contract,
so
they
work
on
our
behalf.
To
aggregate
and
look
at
who
are
possible.
Suppliers
could
be
and
really
create
those
terms
and
conditions
for
us
there.
The
energy
market
experts
that
work
kind
of
as
an
owner's
rep
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
for
the
energy
consortium,
so
that's
the
first
part,
is
making
sure
that
we
actually
enter
into
kind
of
the
right
contract
for
us
for
our
supply.
S
But
then
they've
also
worked
on
our
behalf
and
have
found
quite
a
few
billing
errors
over
the
past
kind
of
term
of
our
agreement
with
them.
So
they've
also
gotten
us
a
number
of
rebates
from
different
programs
and
different
kind
of
money.
That's
on
the
table,
but
I've
also
found
billing
errors
where
we've
been
overcharged
for
electricity
or
charged
the
wrong
rate
or
charged
taxes
on
our
electricity.
So
they
do
a
lot
of
that
bill.
Auditing
and
kind
of
data
management
on
our
behalf
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
being
overcharged
anywhere.
How.
S
Have
been
yes,
so
we
they
in
the
past,
we've
done
a
reverse
energy
auction
and
so
again
we,
the
consultant
services,
have
been
to
run
that
reverse
energy
auction,
where
we
lock
in
one
energy
price
for
three
years
for
about
a
three
year
supply
contract,
and
so
that's
been.
The
consultant
has
worked
to
make
sure
that
those
prices
are
continuing
to
kind
of
decrease.
With
our
new
structure,
it's
gonna
be
a
little
bit
more
of
an
active
management
role
as
we're
looking
at
some
of
our
energy
reduction
goals,
as
well
as
our
renewable
goals.
S
So
NL
is
gonna
work
to
create
a
sub
account
within
PJM
within
our
energy
markets.
That
allows
us
more
flexibility
and
more
control
over
how
much
energy
we
use
the
cost
of
energy
as
well
as
where
we
get
our
energy
from
so
they
help
us
reduce
that
cost,
as
well
as
then
integrate
renewables
and
efficiency
to
get
towards
some
of
our
climate
goals.
So.
G
Just
like
again
buying
on
these
very
complicated
markets
where
the
energy
is
kind
of
being
swapped
out
from
different
sources,
you're
buying
renewable
energy,
but
it's
actually
maybe
not
actually,
the
actual
energy.
That's
coming
all
the
way
from
a
state
four
states
away
from
wind
farm
in
Iowa
or
something
it's
not
actually
that
energy.
But
it's
a
swapped
out
energy.
That's
getting
here!
Yeah.
S
G
I
like
to
make
sure
that
we
have
on
record
these
kinds
of
complicated
arrangements,
just
because
we've
gotten
ourselves
into
trouble
before,
as
I'd
like
to
remind
Council
and
these
operate
and
maintain
agreements.
This
does
not
look
and
smell
like
one
of
those
we're
basically
just
using
them
as
a
buying
agent
like
a
real
estate
agent
kind
of
thing
correct.
So,
okay,
thank
you
for
making
that
clear
and
then
how?
G
S
This
is
a
contract
for
four
years
with
two
possible
one-year
extensions
in
the
past.
We
have
done
three-year
contracts,
but
because
we
are
changing
our
kind
of
structure
around
energy
procurement
having
four
years
allows
for
more
flexibility
and
in
those
additional
one-year
extensions
allows
us
to
purchase
into
future
markets
where
we
can
get
more
favorable
prices.
I.
G
S
Our
current
energy
supply
contract,
as
well
as
our
current
energy
consultant
contracts,
expire
at
the
end
of
May
of
2020.
So
that's
when
our
new
supply
contract
would
kind
of
take
places
at
the
end
of
May
of
2020,
which
is
then,
when
the
payment
for
nlx
would
begin.
So
they'll
help
us
now
with
that
establishment
of
a
supply
contract.
So
our
NL
contract
would
start
now
and
then
our
supply
contract
would
start
May
of
2020.
What.
G
Happens
if
everything
new
all
have
proposed
in
the
climate
action
plan
magically
appears
tomorrow
or
on
June
30th
2020,
and
we
need
to
buy
only
half
as
much
energy.
So.
S
L
F
We
used
to
do
is
the
three-year
and
say
it
was
five
million
and
we
would
pay
no
more
than
that.
So
if
we
had
a
benefit
we
still
received
it.
S
In
our
current
contract
and
kind
of
how
we've
done
it
in
the
past,
we
have
locked
in
that
three-year
contract
with
a
fixed
price
per
kilowatt
hour.
However,
when
we
did
that
agreement,
we
basically
guarantee
to
our
supplier
that
we're
going
to
use
a
certain
amount
of
energy
and
for
that
certain
amount
of
energy,
we're
being
guaranteed
that
fixed
price,
but
because
of
the
cost
they
have
to
encourage
kind
of
buy
that
energy.
On
our
behalf,
if
we
don't
fulfill
our
end
of
the
agreement
to
use
that
amount
of
energy,
they
still
have
incurred
cost.
F
S
We
have
saved
over
pass
because
we've
reduced
that
per
kilowatt-hour
cost
and
that's
part
of
like
what
the
consortium
has
allowed
to
do
by
aggregating
a
lot
of
large
loads
together.
We
are
able
to
reduce
our
per
kilowatt
hour
cost,
but
there
still
is
a
penalty
assessed
if
we
were
to,
for
instance,
meet
our
50%
energy
reduction
goals
and.
S
F
S
S
They
were
the
lowest
as
well
as
kind
of
the
most
reputable
company.
They've
worked
with
a
number
of
other
similar
consortiums,
which
is
not
all
that
common.
What
we're
doing
is
kind
of
at
the
forefront
of
kind
of
engaging
with
energy
markets
for
a
city
and
so
they're.
The
only
company
who
responded
to
our
RFP,
who
has
worked
with
a
similar
kind
of
structure
and
buying
consortium
and
process
mm-hmm
yeah.
R
R
F
S
So
we'll
be
changing
how
we
procure
energy
instead
of
that
fixed-rate
three-year
agreement
with
a
supplier
will
still
enter
into
a
contract
with
a
supplier,
but
we're
gonna
be
creating
what
it's
called
a
PJM
sub-account
PJM
is
our
electricity
grid
for
the
East
Coast,
and
so
by
creating
a
sub-account
with
in
PJM.
We
become
wholesale
buyers,
so
we're
able
to
buy
more
frequently
as
markets
change,
we're
able
to
access
the
lowest
prices
and
then
we're
also
buying
on
the
wholesale
market.
So
we'll
save
money
there
as
well
by
transitioning
to
wholesale
instead
of
Lisa.

is
this
adding
to

T
It
is
Andrew
acting
director,
City
Planning.
This
there
was
I
think
a
mistake
on
the
cover
letter.
This
is
a
one
block:
expansion
of
area
T
along
the
1700
block,
a
suburban
Avenue
which
is
adjacent
to
the
Westfield
T
stop.
So
the
residents
petitioned
into
the
program.
We
did
a
parking
study
that
met
all
the
thresholds
of
the
program.
So
you
know
they
meet
all
the
requirements
for
addition
into
the
program.

L
F
M
M

D
N
He
gonna
remember
it,
but
I
just
thought
about
it.
There's
on
you
were
drive
in
the
upper
Hill.
There's
residential
apartment
permit
parking,
but
it
stops
sort
of
at
the
top
of
the
street,
but
there
are
commuters
who
park
in
the
bend
and
recently
a
couple
residents
asked:
could
the
permit
parking
be
extended
for
the
sole
purpose
of
stopping
the
commuters
from
parking
in
the
bend?
I,
don't
know
if
that's
possible,
but
we
can
I
mean
we
can
talk
about.

Sean

them:
Donald,
Reggie

Donald.
Okay,
Donald
is
20
years
old.
He
goes
to
Carrick
high
school
and
he's
from
Brighton

he's
interested
in

and
we
have
Sean
there
you
go.
He
goes

Berg

and
oh,
you
graduated.
Okay,
you
did
you
graduate
from
Kara
Kent,
okay
they're.
Both
graduates
of
both

he's
also
20
years
old
and
he's
from

and
his
interests
are
researching

and
being

F
N
Laval,
yes,
this
afternoon
there
is
a
public
hearing
which
was
petitioned
by
a
resident
in
my
district,
mr.
cleaver,
he
more
in
reparations
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
unfortunately,
I
have
a
meeting
that
I,
which
will
not
allow
me
to
attend,
but
I
did
just
want
to
say
that
this
actually
is
a
sort
of
a
serious
issue
for
us
as
a
whole
country.
There
have
been
reparations
for
many
other
ethnic
groups
within
our
country's
history
and
I
do
believe.
We
should
be
looking
at
this
seriously.
N
I
believe
this
HR
bill
40,
that's
currently
in
Congress
to
actually
set
up
a
commission
to
study
this
issue
and
I'm,
certainly
supportive
of
that,
although
I
can't
vote
on
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
will
followup
with
mr.
Rahim
myself
to
better
understand
what
his
position
is
and
what
he
wanted
to
share
with
counsel
today,
although
I
can't
be
there
this
afternoon,.
F
N
G
Sorry,
a
different
subject
entirely,
but
I
I
wanted
to
draw
attention
to
counsel,
because
it's
been
in
the
media
that
our
Special
Events
Committee
at
the
city
recently
gave
permits
for
three
Saturdays
in
November
to
close
down
streets
in
the
Strip
District,
and
the
merchants
in
the
strip
are
negatively
impacted
by
these
closures.
This
is
prime
holiday
season.
Many
of
us-
probably
most
of
us.
Probably
every
single
one
of
us
here-
has
been
shopping
in
the
Strip
District
on
a
Saturday,
especially
in
anticipation
of
the
holidays
that
says
most
of
the
region.
G
You
know
people
are
coming
in
to
get
fifty
pounds
of
this
or
that
or
they've
got
family
visiting
and
they
want
to
bring
them
to
the
Strip
District.
There
is
a
Veterans
parade,
there's
not
a
Veterans
parade,
I'm,
actually,
not
sure
the
names
of
each
of
two
parades
and
a
foot
race
that
are
scheduled
on
Saturdays
in
November
during
the
peak
shopping
hours,
closing
streets
and
I
feel
that
those
parade
routes
could
be
elsewhere,
as
could
the
foot
race.
G
So
the
Strip
District
merchants
had
a
meeting
Monday
night
and
asked
me
to
ask
the
administration
to
amend
those
routes
in
advance
of
the
events
and
I've
done
that
and
I,
but
I
just
wanted
to
draw
your
attention
to
it,
because
we
can't
assume
that,
just
because
someone
wants
an
events
in
a
neighborhood
that
they
should
have
that
event
permit
right.
So,
even
if
it's
a
non-profit,
that's
raising
funds,
nobody
would
have
to
read
it
I'm
sorry,
I
had
so
many
things.
G
I
was
doing
this
morning
that
I've
kind
of
spaced
out
on
the
actual
events
I
may
be
able
to
find
it
while
I'm
speaking-
and
this
keeps
coming
up
and
I-
believe
that
there
needs
to
be
some
kind
of
discussion.
It's
wonderful
that
people
host
events
in
the
city.
We
welcome
visitors,
we're
happy
to
be
that
kind
of
host
for
the
region
to
come
here
and
enjoy
the
city,
but
there
needs
to
be
boundaries
right.
Just
because
someone
wants
to
have
them
come
a
party
in
your.
You
know:
front
yard.
G
So
I'm
going
to
say
it
is
okay,
I'm
going
to
read
them
out
loud
and
I.
Finally
got
them.
Sorry,
on
November,
2nd
eqt
is
doing
a
10-mile
race,
shutting
down
Liberty
Smallman
and
Penn
Avenue.
That's
a
Saturday
Saturday
I
live
November,
9th
veteran
his
veterans.
Take
so
I
was
correct.
Sorry,
shutting
down
Liberty
but
also
impacts
side
streets,
so
it
makes
it
really
hard
for
employees
and
shoppers
to
get
in.
And
thirdly,
a
Saturday
November
30th,
which
I
believe
is
also
Small.
Business
Saturday.
L
G
We
are
supposed
to
be
encouraging
people
to
shop
at
our
small
businesses.
These
are
mainly
locally
owned
businesses.
Again
I
spoke
to
with
each
and
every
one
of
them.
It
is
the
actual
W
sighs
annual
holiday
parade
from
9:00
to
11:00.
Why
it
has
to
line
up
in
the
Strip.
District
is
not
clear
to
me
and
I
I'm
requesting
that
it
be
moved,
there's
plenty
of
time
to
move
the
parade
route
and
to
find
a
different
set
up
area
for
it.
So
I
just.
M
D
D
G
D
To
go
to
cut
a
ribbon
actually,
but
councilman
gross.
You
and
I
have
been
talking
about
the
cost
of
special
events
to
this,
to
the
residents
to
the
community
groups
and
to
the
city
overall,
having
them
not
having
them
what
we
could
do
to
make
it
easier
and
at
the
same
time
and
beneficial
to
the
community
that
they're
having
these
events
in
and
grow
on,
Grandview
Avenue.
They
have
a
lot
of
events
that
shut
down
that
area.
But
it's
still
a
residential
area
and
a
lot
of
tourists
come
through
there.
D
So
and
the
other
area
is
always
Main
Street
South
Main
in
the
West
End,
which
is
encompasses
a
lot
of
churches,
so
I
think
in
and
they're
always
on
a
Sunday
the
events,
so
that
brings
a
whole
nother
set
of
concerns
to
the
area.
But
even
with
you
know,
the
arena
Dumbo
the
the
Penguins
when
they
have
events
and-
and
you
know
the
different
things
down
and
uptown
I
know
that
you
know
it
impedes
upon
people
attending
epiphany,
Church
and
different
things,
so
I
think
they're.
D
Having
this
conversation,
how
many
events
is
is
a
normal
expectation
of
the
public
to
tolerate
in
to
support
and
whether
it's
even
an
issue
for
some
of
the
residents.
Some
people,
you
know,
may
actually
just
love
these
events.
I
think
some
of
them
are
great
events
they're
part
of
what
makes
Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
right,
but
at
the
same
time
we
we
have
to
think
about
the
impact
to
the
to
the
local
residents
and
to
their
local
community
groups
that
are
spending
a
lot
more
money
to
put
on
these
events
out
of
their
own
pockets.
D
F
General
well
and
I
think
they
should
be
over
on
Northside
anyhow,
so
they
can
come
over
to
North
Shore
and
the
veterans
are
always
welcome,
one
more
or
and
eqt
I
think
they
have
a
building
on
the
North
Shore
yeah
yeah.
All
the
parades
used
two
years
ago
start
on
federal,
Street
and
come
down
and
come
across.
The
bridge.
F
L
F
F
N
Since
we're
having
a
conversation,
I'm
open
to
that
certainly
conversation
but
I,
think,
as
we
also
began
having
this
sort
of
equity
conversation
within
our
city,
that
we
should
then
look
at
the
impact
of
open
streets
and
how
what
that
does
to
business
districts
as
well
as
even
city
sponsored
events
like
the
great
race
that
is
always
on
a
Sunday.
That
always
makes
it
hard,
particularly
for
those
who
attend
black
churches
throughout
our
city,
to
actually
make
it
to
those
services
on
and
all
but
I'm.
N
L
H
B
Quick
things
this
afternoon
at
2
o'clock
council
will
hold
a
cable
cast
post
cable
cast
public
hearing
on
bail,
2019
2033,
a
petition
as
it
relates
to
awarding
reparations
for
black
residents
of
I
will
bite
just
a
little
bit
on
this.
Anyone
who
wants
to
understand
about
reparations
I
would
those
who's
looking
on
and
and
at
home
I
would
highly
recommend.
You
read
a
book
called
the
debt
by
professor
Randall
Robinson,
firmly
the
exec
director
of
trans
Africa,
former
faculty
member
at
Penn,
State
University,
an
attorney
and
I.
B
B
If
we're
going
to
talk
about
reparations
in
my
mind,
what
we
really
should
focus
on
is
the
rebuilding
of
historically
african-american
communities,
the
rebuilding
of
poor
communities
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
making
that
a
priority
for
our
city.
If
we
want
to
change,
if
we
want
to
change
our
city
and
we're
serious
about,
we
had
a
study
done
in
a
few
weeks
ago
and
talked
about
how
african-americans
in
our
city
are
living
and
equitably.
B
We'll
have
study
after
study
after
study
and
it'll
be
said,
the
same
thing
will
happen
over
and
over
again
it
will
not
change
until
we
as
a
city
decide
to
disk
proportionately,
invest
in
these
communities
where
the
majority
of
African
Americans
live.
They
live
in
african-american
communities
and
if
we
are
serious
about
improving
their
lives,
we
will,
in
my
opinion,
invest
over
the
next
10
years
about
a
billion
dollars
into
those
communities,
which
is
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money.
B
But
really
we
need
about
20
percent
about
200
million
dollars
over
the
next
10
years
to
about
20
million
dollars
a
year
and
then,
if
with
that
kind
of
investment,
we
absolutely
can
make
a
significant
difference.
The
money
is
available.
It's
not
a
question
of
the
money,
it's
a
question
of
political
will
and
for
us
all
of
us,
the
nonprofit
community,
the
large
institutions,
the
medical
facilities,
the
banks.
B
All
of
us
should
come
together
with
the
city,
county,
state
and
federal
government
and
create
this
fun
the
leverage
so
that
we
can
rebuild
these
communities
and
that's
been
least
in
part.
My
work
and
if
we
want
to
have
this
conversation,
I'm
welcome
to
have
this
conversation
and
since
we're
gonna,
have
it
this
afternoon
at
two
o'clock.
I
think
it's
a
good
time
to
have
it
in
a
more
broad
way.
So,
with
that
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes,
I
think
we've
all
here
today
to
approve
the
minutes
and
adjourn
the
meeting.
Oh.
F
L
B
Let
me
go
backwards:
I
have
argued
for
12
years
about
poor
communities,
not
specifically
in
terms
of
race
and
or
gender.
However,
I
also
will
tell
you
that
the
vast
majority
of
African
Americans
live
in
poor
communities
and
I
will
reiterate
and
I'll
defend
it
that
there
are
no
poor.
There
are
poor
pockets
in
Pittsburgh,
but
there
are
no
poor
white
communities
in
Pittsburgh.
There
are
only
poor
black
communities
burg.
B
Are
majority
block
there
are
poor,
there
are
sections
Amen,
it's
true.
There
are
sections
if
you're
in
his,
for
instance,
I
had
this
conversation
with
someone
from
the
county
we
were
on,
the
I
was
I'm
on
the
board
of
overseeing
the
Summer
Youth
Employment
Program
and
I
made
that
statement
to
a
county
official
that
there
were
no
poor.
There
were
no
poor
white
areas
in
the
city
and
the
area
they
I
said
there
isn't,
and
she
says
what
would
about
Carrick
I
said.
Well,
no,
you
cannot
take
care.
It
is
not
a
poor
community.
B
It's
a
middle-class
community
if
you
take
the
income
level
of
Carrick
and
compare
it
to
the
income
level
of
let's
say
Homewood
right
where
the
income
is
about
$17,000
and
carrots,
probably
about
$40,000
they're,
not
at
all
connected,
and
so
it
just
you
know:
I
know
that
there
and
I
don't
and
again
you're
my
friend,
miss
Harris
and
I
do
understand
you're
concerned
to
lessen
the
argument
in
terms
of
the
need
to
empower
these
neighborhoods,
and
so
it
to
me
it's
not
racial.
It's
just
truth.
A
F
B
B
Want
it
and
I
think
if
you
rebuilt,
if
you
rebuild
communities
like
Larmour,
which
we
were
rebuilding,
it
is
not
exclusively
the
african-american.
There
are
all
racists
that
are
living
in
Larmour,
and
when
you
rebuilt
these
communities,
you
will
have
a
place
for
all
races
to
participate,
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
the
benefits
will
only
affect
African
Americans
I'm,
suggesting
that
we
target,
though
the
investment
in
those
communities
with
the
bucket
african-americans
live
and
as
we
redo
them,
we
will
change
them
from
places
of
concentrated
poverty
into
mixed
income,
stable
interracial
communities,
absolutely.
