B
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
regular
standing
committee
meeting
of
City
Council,
this
is
actually
our
pre
agenda.
We
have
an
interview
for
appointment,
I'm
gonna,
allow
Madame
clerk
to
read
the
appointed
appointment
and
then
we'll
wait
for
council
members
to
come
in
I'm
chairing
this
meeting
because
I'm
on
the
al-qassam
board-
and
this
is
an
appoint
appointment
to
the
al-qassam
board
bill.
C
B
You,
madam
clerk
doctor
Gilliam,
if
you
would
just
sort
of
give
us
our
background
to
the
general
part
background.
Your
background
to
the
general
public
I
know
we
spoke
a
little
bit
offline
and
you
know
why
you're
interested
in
helping
the
region's
a
lot
of
people.
They
don't
know
how
Kison
not
only
serves
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
but
83
municipalities.
So
if
you
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
background,
why
you're
interested-
and
you
know-
alkis
and
stormwater
just
a
little
bit
about
that?
Thank.
D
D
So,
given
my
my
history,
my
experience
professional
this
appointment
is
very
interesting
to
me,
because
I
feel
that
I
could
be
helpful
to
the
region
in
the
work
that
al
Kazan
is
endeavouring.
This
is
important.
It's
very
important.
Pittsburgh
is
the
Three
Rivers
Pittsburgh
is
its
families.
Pittsburgh
is
its
jobs.
We
are
an
innovation
hub.
We
are
a
place
where
people
can
come
and
raise
a
family
can
educate,
their
kids
can
live
happy
and
good
lives
and
I
feel
that
you
know
alkis
and
is
important,
because
water
is
the
lifeblood
of
humanity.
B
Now
I
I
think
that's
great
and
yeah.
You
know
know
their
members
are
here,
but
I'll
just
speak
as
we
spoke
over
the
phone
for
about
10
or
15
minutes.
I
think
now's
an
exciting
time
to
be
part
of
that
discussion
at
alkis
Ann,
because
it's
probably
gonna
be
about
a
3.5
billion
dollar
investment
in
our
infrastructure
in
the
future
of
our
region
in
our
water
quality.
So
I
think
you
know
somebody
with
your
background.
B
You
know-
hopefully
sooner
but
in
reality
it's
going
to
be
a
very
large
project
that
we
can
hire
a
lot
of
people
locally.
You
know
you
having
neighborhood
connections
can
help
those
individuals
not
necessarily
get
hired
there,
but
when
there's
projects
outside
you
know
when
we're
talking
about
stormwater
maintenance
and
people
that
are
looking
for
employment,
and
we
have
so
many
opportunities
with
this
growth.
That's
really
important,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
You
know.
B
Greg
Greg
started
the
cap
program
down
at
alkis,
and
so
now
you
have
to
start
a
program
in
Oaks
and
I'm
no
pressure,
but
you
know
you're
gonna
find
that
you
know
the
staff
down.
There
is
very
good,
it's
a
really
important
project
and
you
know
we're
just
happy
to
have
you
on
board.
As
a
member,
given
your
expertise,
I
have
no
further
questions,
so
I
will
make
a
if
anybody's
coming
but
I,
don't
think
so.
So
I'll
make
a
motion
to
recess
until
City,
Council,
Standing
Committee
meeting.
E
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
Pittsburgh
City
Council
Standing
Committee
meeting
of
Wednesday
February
27th
2019,
my
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment,
members
of
the
public
they
want
to
address
council.
Please
come
forward,
you'll,
be
given
three
minutes.
The
green
light
means
the
start
of
your
three
minutes.
The
yellow
light
means
your
women
summarize.
The
red
light
means
your

expired.
Please
relinquish
the
podium.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comment
is
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
E
F
Jump
hollow
Panther,
hollow
Panther
Hollow
was
one
of
Pittsburgh's.
First
Italian
neighborhoods,
the
early
settlers
immigrants
from
the
times
of
gamma
rally
at
Pizza
fato
in
the
Abruzzo
region
in
central
Italy,
arrived
in
the
1880s
in
1900,
over
200
Italian
immigrants
lived
in
Panther
Hollow
and
in
1920
at
the
height
of
the
Italian
immigration
experience,
a
number
grew
to
407.
There.
They're
only
settlers
did
not
have
easy
access
to
other
businesses,
so
the
neighborhood
became
self-sufficient.
F
There
were
two
banks:
six
grocery
stores,
a
travel
company,
a
cow
pasture
vegetable
gardens
and
a
thoroughbred
oven,
Greg
vineyards
in
an
Italian
social
club,
Albert
L,
Bell
Belisario,
passed
away
two
months
ago
at
the
age
of
94.
His
last
wish
to
his
family
one
week
before
he
died
was
that
they
drive
him
through
Panther
Hollow.
F
The
cousins
last
wish,
through
his
family
before
he
passed
away,
was
that
they
scatter
half
of
his
ashes
in
Panther
Hollow
to
those
who
support
a
roadway
through
Panther
hollow
from
Hazelwood
Green
to
Pitts
CMU
Panther
Hollow
is
only
a
stretch
of
land
for
economic
gain
to
all
of
us
who
love
this
neighborhood
Panther
Hollow
is
sacred
in
1963
Panther
Hollow
community.
Faced
a
defining
moment,
University
of
Pittsburgh
Chancellor
ever
Litchfield
sought
to
this
to
build
their
a
futuristic,
21st
century
research
park.
F
He
lined
himself
with
the
largest
foundations,
wealthiest
banks
and
organizations
in
city
government.
He
made
one
major
miscalculation.
He
underestimated
the
fighting
spirit
and
courage
or
the
a
brute
says.
A
my
parents
generation
moved
into
battle.
They
were
led
by
men
like
Eugene
Jeep,
DiPasquale,
Nicolas,
Viki
bull
died,
Olas,
Gervasi,
Oh,
Jerry,
Kafar
d,
Carl
John
polo
Anthony
deli
Delvecchio
Raymond,
Clark
Kent
vary
in
Robert
Mort
casado.
These
men
had
fought
in
the
jungles
of
the
Pacific,
the
deserts
of
Africa
in
the
hills
and
valleys
of
Europe
in
the
battle
for
their
community.
F
They
had
the
support
of
the
power,
the
women
of
Panther
Hollow
and
from
my
grandparents
generation,
the
toughest
of
the
tough
that
gave
birth
to
America's
greatest
generation.
Litchfield
was
defeated
and
within
two
years
he
was
ousted
as
Chancellor.
My
own
generation
is
now
faced
with
the
choice
for
a
defining
moment.
The
same
forces
that
aligned
themselves
with
Litchfield
also
support
the
roadway
which
will
bring
massive
development
and
destroy
this
cultural
treasure.
We
deeply
honor
the
legacy
of
our
parents,
grandparents
and
great-grandparents
that
enriched
our
lives
and
made
us
proud
to
be
Italian.
F
G
This
jar
right
here
my
name-
is
Devon
Neff
Brown,
this
jar.
It
has
Big
Daddy
on
it.
The
reason
why
I
brought
this
down
I
here
in
New
York
the
mayor's
talking
about
charging
people
charging
people
to
be
on
the
road.
Well
Big
Daddy.
He
works
in
the
Civic
Arena.
That
is
their
very
last
lot.
Okay,
I,
don't
even
know
how
to
start
talking
a
big
Diddy.
I.
Remember
pennies
I
would
pick
up
the
pennies
try
to
give
me
Stan.
He
got
so.
He
would
stop
me
and
tell
me
about
the
pennies.
G
Now
he
was
telling
me
as
I
said
there
talking
to
him.
You
see
the
big
trucks
come
barreling
down
blowing
the
horn.
He
said:
that's
against
the
law.
He
said
tell
the
mirror
and
I
came
before
and
told
the
mirror.
He
said.
If
you
go
down
there,
where
7-eleven
is
sit
right,
there
state,
policeman,
City
policeman,
whatever
you'll
catch
him
and
here
goes
a
truck
almost
hitting
somebody
and
he
said:
listen
I!
Have
it
all
day
long!
G
So
mayor,
you
don't
listen
to
me
too
much
because
you
didn't
do
the
appointment,
that
you
see
it
and
my
son's
father
is
now
in
Pittsburgh
and
he
wants
to
know
what
happened
to
his
son.
His
name
is
Anthony
Calvin,
Johnson
and
he's
talking
his
that's
my
son,
but
his
father's
name
is
Calvin
and
he
wants
to
know
what
happened
to
his
son.
Now
awesome
I'm,
tired
of
us
being
late.
Okay,
I
have
here
this
is
in
2017
I.
G
Have
here
10:35,
you
started
no
ruin,
but
what
had
happened
earlier
today,
I
was
in
five
10
10
20
mr.
cross
interrupted
my
conversation,
the
contempt
he
shows
me
making
sure
he
creates
a
hostile
environment,
just
create
this
hostile
environment.
You
whenever
you
disrespect
two
people
coming
down
and
tell
you
because
you're
ignorant
of
a
lot
of
stuff,
you
know
it
I'm
eating
a
lot
of
stuff.
If
I
know,
if
I
can
tell
you,
why
can't
you
listen?
G
Okay,
you
shake
your
head
cuz,
you
know,
I
keep
on
telling
you
I
don't
want
to
fuss
with
the
Reverend,
because
God
might
might
just
strike
me
before
he
gets
him.
Big
Daddy.
Does
his
a
white
man
that
my
daughter's
my
grandma,
but
she
didn't
know
that
not
kids
see
him
so
they
came
past.
That's
our
friend!
She
had
you,
don't
know
that
old
white
man
and
they
fussed
all
the
way
to
North
Side.
Here's
our
friend.
He
sends
us
stuff,
Big
Daddy
said
when
I
tell
Big
Daddy,
he
say
what
did
them
kids
say.
G
That's
our
friend
my
daughter
said
you
don't
know
that
old
white
man
I
think
he
likes
to
hear
that,
but
he's
a
good
man.
He
talked
kind
of
vulgar.
I
said
you
know
how
you
get
so
ignorant.
I,
guess
cuz,
he's
old,
but
please.
If
the
mayor
will
listen,
you
need
money.
Cuz
you
need
to
make
up
for
them
not
coming
a
whole
twenty
minutes
or
half
an
hour.
You
can
get
money
from
trucks
coming
through
the
city,
making
noise
and
scaring
the
people
right
upon
them.
So
I
hope
o
this.
G
Since
you
just
got
time
I
want
to
put
in
for
the
job
the
Valley,
MacDonald
I
think
I'm
qualified.
In
fact,
I
don't
want
the
hundred
thousand
give
me
fifty
I'll
even
take
twenty
five
thousand.
So
there's
seventeen
thousand
seventy
five
thousand.
Let's
get
a
bus
for
the
top
of
the
hill
said
the
old
people
you
get
to
the
hospital.
Please
do
that
for
the
old
people.
Thank
you
thank.
H
H
Do
you
realize
that
when
the
federal
government
forgives
taxes
and
doesn't
collect
them
that
they
also
don't
give
you
as
many
benefits?
So
therefore
we
have
a
two
strata
society.
We
have
those
25,000
or
roughly.
If
you
want
to
define
poverty,
you
have
25,000
as
a
line
instead
of
taking
the
money
in
and
taxing
and
rolling
it
over
into
education,
housing,
addiction,
etc.
You're,
getting
nothing
relatively
speaking,
nothing
and
nobody's
talking
about
it
and
I
end
up
laying
a
report
on
your
table.
H
That
says:
there's
three
hundred
and
seventy
four
trillion
dollars
not
being
collected
and
mr.
Trump.
They
call
a
businessman
and
he
can't
see
that
much
money
and
he's
worried
about
his
chump
change
of
five
billion
dollars
for
a
wall
and
turns
around
and
practically
destroys
our
economy.
It's
a
disgrace!
H
Has
noticed
that
the
money's
laying
on
the
table
uncollected
it's
a
disgrace.
When
is
one
of
you
going
to
go
ahead
and
and
go
and
say
to
someone
in
Washington,
it's
less
crazy.
Is
he
coming
down
here
and
screaming
bloody
murder
about
370
some
trillion
dollars
and
it
doesn't
exist?
Well,
it
does
exist
because
the
numbers
are
from
the
federal
government.
H
E
J
J
E
J
E
C
B
B
E
B
L
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
having
we
had
100%
representation
and
the
debriefing
that
we
did
a
couple
weeks
ago
to
go
through
this
with
all
the
offices,
and
it
I
really
appreciate
the
feedback
that
the
council
members
who
were
present
and
their
staff
gave
us.
We
had
a
couple.
Little
changes
there
that
that
we
that
Mike
actually
wrote
up
and
changed
for
us
to
further
change
this,
but
basically
I
think
we
all
realize
that
our
procurement
code
has
not
been
really
looked
at
in
a
very
long
time.
L
We
did
a
couple
changes
a
few
years
ago
to
start
to
modernize.
These
are
additional
changes,
fixing
some
of
the
big
gaps
that
we
had
codifying
some
of
our
current
practices
to
ensure
that
we
are
really
doing
the
competitive
bidding
process,
and
there
are
some
technical
and
clerical
changes
in
here
as
well.
While
we
were
doing
that,
but
the
goal
is
right
now,
you
know
these
are
the
the
hot
topics,
the
gaps
that
we
needed
to
fill
and
then
again
with
council,
the
controller's
office
and
my
office
in
law.
L
We
plan
to
over
the
next
year
look
at
the
entire
section
of
161
as
a
group
and
see
where
we
really
need
to
go
and
the
in
the
future
the
biggest
things
in
here
we
there
are
certain
types
of
contracts.
We
use
that
we
don't
have
specific
direction
on.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
anybody
on
a
pre-qualified
contract
is
given
the
opportunity
to
bid
on
those
projects
as
they
come
up.
That's
codifying
a
current
policy
that
we
already
do
and
it's
making
it
code.
L
We
are
reducing
the
the
amount
of
a
professional
services
agreement
minimum
to
go
through
the
formal
process
of
a
scoring
committee
in
the
practices
from
$30,000
to
$3,000,
so
the
department's
can
no
longer
get
just
go,
get
three
bids
on
their
own
under
$30,000,
for
a
professional
service
and
not
go
through
the
proper
process.
We
have
found
that
cost
is
not
necessarily
a
determining
factor
in
a
professional
service
contract
and
there
could
be
something
that
has
a
nominal
cost,
that
it
could
be
very
complex
in
public
facing
in
nature.
L
L
L
M
I
would
I
would
hope.
I
know,
council
members
are
concerned
that
are
also
abiding
by
the
ee
or
c
stuff
that
I
know
we
had
a
post
agenda
on
and
so
those
parts
I
I'm
supportive
and
I
can
see
that
a
lot
of
work
has
been
done
to
clean
up
that
section
of
the
code.
There's
a
second
section,
though,
that
I've
asked
about
before
and
I
continue
to
have
concerns
about
so
I
see
where
you
men
and
there's
a
reduction
from
30,000
down
to
3,000
for
those
internal
references.
Thank
you,
but
then
on.
M
Think
this
is
the
part
that's
concerning
to
some
members
shall
be
deemed
to
have
received
pre-authorization
to
solicit
so
the
size
of
counsels
previous
year
in
the
December
of
the
previous
year's
overall,
five
to
six
hundred
million
dollar
budget
votes
and
I.
Think
that
gives
me
pause.
So
there's
no
reason
for
that.
In
there
it's
not
struck
in
mind.
It's.
N
K
M
L
I
think
my
text
file
wrong.
No
I
think
he's
talking
about
a
different
section.
The
threes
and
the
30s
get
very
confusing.
Basically
what
this
section
did
this
existed
before
that
all
this
is
saying
is
that
you
have
pre
authors,
it's
pre-authorization
to
solicit
bids.
That
means
that
they
don't
have
to
come
to
you
if,
if
the
amount
is
approved
in
their
budget,
it's
saying
the
council's
adoption
of
the
relative
and
oh
you
in
budget.
M
M
Like
I'm
talking,
yeah
domi,
soliciting
rfp's
out
for
LED
streetlights
throughout
every
right-of-way
of
a
thousand
miles
Street.
That's
exactly
why
I
have
concerns
over
that
section.
It
was
an
excellent
example.
Thank
you.
That's
all
I
don't
need
anymore
yeah
and
I.
Don't
need
any
more
comments.
Mr.
J
L
J
L
Projects
arise,
they
the
actual
master
contracts
themselves,
go
out
every
few
years
for
a
new
pre-qualified
list.
The
majority
of
our
current
contracts
expire
in
April.
So
we
will
be
redoing
those
and
putting
out
a
new
batch
for
for
new
folks,
but
they
can
sign
up
at
any
time
during
the
contract
term
if
they
meet
the
qualifications
and
are
approved
by
their
doctor.
So
it's
a
rolling
enrollment.
J
Okay,
I
guess
my
concern
is
historically
speaking,
pre-qualification
in
some
respects
limits.
Small
businesses,
particularly
small
minority
businesses,
because,
if
they're
not
within
that
three
four
year
cycle
of
when
a
contract
is
being
run,
they
then
have
to
wait
and
so
they're
not
on
a
yearly
basis
being
able
to
get
into
that
cycle.
And
so
what
I
would
want
to
see
is
something
that
allows
a
rolling
pre-qualification
throughout
the
limp
that
contract,
so
that
it's
not
once
we
release
this.
J
L
So
currently,
our
actual
pre-qualified
contracts
are
rolling
enrollment.
They
can
hop
onto
the
list
at
any
time.
There
are.
These
are
for
commodities
and
non-professional
services,
so
the
for
the
professional
services
contracts
that
we're
doing
the
more
on
call
type
things
that
will
be
starting
to
go
out
in
the
next
couple
of
months
here.
Those
will
have
a
set
time
period
for
groups
of
things
and
will
not
be
able
to
be
open
enrollment
for
a
lot
of
other
reasons.
E
O
I
appreciate
it
and
I
wish
that
we
had
done
our
zone
on
my
least
on
my
end.
I
wish
I
hadn't
scheduled
something
sooner
to
talk
to
the
Women's
Caucus
together
about
this,
but
I
do
think
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
comfortable
with
this.
As
I
said,
this
was
something
that
the
Women's
Caucus
was
working
on
and
I
appreciate
the
shared
concern
and
shared
vision,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
agreeable
to
some
of
the
changes.
So
with
that
said,
motion
to
hold
one
week
for.

C
E
M
I'll
just
say
that
you
all
know
that
I'm
a
very
anti
vacating
streets
in
my
district,
especially
near
the
river
there's,
you
know
many
of
them
were
vacated
over
a
hundred
years
ago.
We've
got
these
big
blocks
that
you
can't
walk
through,
but
this
one
you've
seen
me
do
one
other
I
think
only
in
the
last
four
or
five
years,
because
it
was
really
already
not
existing,
and
this
is
a
paper
street
that
is
runs
through
one
of
the
little
blocks
in
the
Strip
District
and
it's
already
been
half
vacated.
M
So
there's
no
way
of
getting
through
this
alley
already,
because
the
business
is
on
the
you
know,
the
property
owners
on
either
side
had
already
vacated
the
other.
Having
said
that,
I
made
sure
that
everybody
around
it
was
ok
with
it,
and
so
this
one,
even
though
in
the
future
I'm
sure
we're
trying
to
gain
back
street
grid
so
that
we
have
smaller
walkable
grids
throughout,
especially
near
the
Allegheny
River.
This
particular
one
were
everyone
supportive
of
the
vacation.
So
that's
all
the.

O
Committee
also
I
want
to
also
congratulate
councilman
Gross
on
doing
a
really
great
job
with
this,
because
I
mean
it's,
it's
easy
to
say,
you're
going
to
do
this
or
want
to
do
that.
You
know
when
you're
not
sitting
in
these
seats,
but
when
you
actually
realize
what
you
have
to
go
through
and
what
you
have
to
do.
N
You
know
I,
think
the
beauty
of
this
is
that
as
councilman
kale
Smith
mentioned
last
week,
it's
you
know.
One
size
does
not
fit
all
for
all
districts
or
all
parts
of
the
city,
and
so
certainly
Councilwoman
grosses
district
is
different
from
mine.
It's
growing
much
more
quickly
now,
as
opposed
to
having
grown
slowly
over

represent.

B
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
first
time
a
group
actually
wants
to
come
in
front
of
the
council
and
come
to
the
table.
So
could
we
have
everybody
from
the
clean
pittsburgh?
Commission?
Please
come
up.
If
you
don't
know
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission's
been
around
for
a
very
long
time.
I
was
actually
on
the
board.
They
do
an
award
ceremony
every
year
and
they
honor
a
lot
of
people
that
keep
our
city
clean
and
they're
all
volunteers
to
do
it.
This
is
where
you
know
the
passion
and
the
love
for
our
city.
B
If
you
want
to
just
give
us
a
bit
of
an
overview
of
some
of
the
changes
that
you're
looking
at,
we
have
to
obviously
approve
to
continue
this,
but
thank
you
again
for
your
support.
I
will
say
that
they
are
supposed
to
be
funded
by
citations
for
litter
and
I.
Think
it's
very
rare
when
we
actually
do
that.
But
you
know
that's
something
that
you
know
must
be
enforced
so
that
we
can
continue
to
fund
commissions
like
this.
So
I'll
allow
everybody
to
introduce
themselves
and
then
talk
briefly
and
we'll
get
to
councilmembers.
B
P
Name
is
Alicia
Carberry
I'm,
the
vice
chair
of
the
clean
Pittsburgh
Commission
I,
actually
joined
before
I
started
working
for
the
city,
I
started
showing
up
to
meetings
and
they
accepted
me
after
time,
but
I
am
also
I
work
in
the
mayor's
office.
As
the
operations
assistant
with
the
chief
operations
officer.
Q
R
P
P
So
our
legislation,
our
founding
legislation,
hadn't,
been
updated
since
we
were
founded,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
really
matched
our
current
practices.
Part
of
that
is
establishing
a
neighborhood
of
focus
for
a
two-year
cycle
and
really
coordinating
the
efforts
of
each
of
the
organization's.
Myrna
mentioned
Allegheny
clean,
raise
Justin's
representing
Pennsylvania
Resources
Council
to
really
impact
the
neighborhoods
that
we're
working
in
a
collaborative
and
efficient
way.
P
I
P
Sure
so,
yeah,
and
initially
we
were
tasked
with
a
number
of
things.
In
addition
to
improving
air
quality
and
we're
not,
you
know
core
consummate
O'connor
mentioned
that
we're
volunteers
and
not
quite
flush
with
cash,
so
yeah.
We
we
really
wanted
to
limit
our
scope
so
that
we
can
be
more
effective
in
beautifying,
neighborhoods,
organizing
cleanups
and
affecting
policy
around
clean
and
beautiful
city
and.
Q
Q
Q
Hazelwood
was
our
first
neighborhood
to
focus,
I,
think
and
then
hilltop
communities
of
belt
super
Knoxville
and
Allentown,
and
then
we
went
to
the
Northside
communities
of
Perry
hilltop
in
fine
view,
and
now
our
fourth
year
we're
wanting
to
focus
on
the
neighborhood
of
Homewood,
and
this
is
really
the
first
year
where,
where
we
have,
you
know,
with
CDBG
cutbacks
and
and
so
forth,
there's
fewer
monies
to
bring
to
a
community
that
probably
needs
even
more
resources.
I
would.
R
Like
to
follow
on
to
what
Myrna
just
said
and
point
out
that
I
think
that
PRC
and
Allegheny
clean
ways
have
supported
and
contributed
a
lot
of
work
to
the
city
over
the
years,
both
directly
through
our
organizations,
as
well
as
through
CPC
Alicia's
comments
that
it's
volunteer.
This
is
a
group
of
people
that
is
not
just
us
there.
R
Eight
or
nine
people
that
attend
these
meetings
and
various
community
partners
will
drop
in
from
time
to
time,
depending
on
what
the
subject
matter
is,
and
it's
all
being
done
either
through
direct
contributions.
Private
fundraising
from
the
organization's
there
at
the
table,
o
PDC,
has
been
involved
in
years
past
again
other
organizations,
not
just
us
and
really
I-
think
that
one
of
our
goals
here
is
one
to
codify
this.
So
it's
not
sunsetted
on
a
five-year
cycle.
R
That's
been
done
in
just
the
five
years
that
I've
been
involved
in
the
CPC,
and
this
goes
back
another
five
or
ten
years
prior
to
that.
These
are
really
significant
results,
both
directly
in
communities.
Neighborhoods
of
focus.
We've
brought
a
lot
of
cutting-edge
programs
into
those
neighborhoods
that
have
been
replicated
now
across
our
repeating
visits
to
new
neighborhoods,
but
also
taken
on
by
other
programs
and
other
projects
both
of
the
city
and
others.
B
Some
very
supportive
residents,
I
think
you
have
Stewart's
in
almost
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
I
will
say
that
Eric
and
I
have
a
joint
one
in
borås,
who
has
been
around
for
a
very
long
time.
I
would
tell
you
that
if
he
were
here
today,
he
would
probably
wake
Council
up
a
little
bit
and
thank
you
for
Boris,
if
you're
watching.
Thank
you
for
everything.
He's
done
an
amazing
job
at
pushing
for
just
residential
volunteers
and
I
mean
I.
B
O
I
want
to
first
we're
not
a
couple
things
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
First
fear
for
your
work,
but
I
want
to
point
out
a
few
things.
I'm
one
point
out
that
Boris,
as
you
just
mentioned,
actually
started
after
a
phone
call
to
my
to
my
to
me
as
a
resident,
not
as
an
elected
official,
where
I
connected
him
to
40
the
neighborhood's
that
Rob
has
röszke
at
the
time
had
torment
suggested.
O
We,
the
anti-litter
campaign,
started
in
our
district
and
we
expanded
it.
Citywide,
the
environmental
projects
that
we're
working
on
now
with
the
e
recycling
started
in
our
office
and
so
I
think
that
a
lot
of
times,
people
think
of
these
things
as
East
End
initiatives
and
I,
think
that
they
don't
realize
how
much
it
comes
from
the
west-southwest
of
the
river
in
terms
of
making
these
things.
Even
you
know,
starting
these
things
off
as
pilot
programs,
but
making
them
available
citywide
and
really
making
sure
funding
is
available,
and
this
is
one
of
the
projects.
O
One
of
the
Commission's
I'd
really
like
to
see
receive
more
funding,
because
I
think
that
you
have
been
amazing
for
our
community
in
so
many
ways.
Last
year,
going
to
be
honest,
I
was
a
little
disappointed
that
there
was
a
focused
in
one
part.
I
think
was
last
year,
maybe
the
year
before,
just
in
the
hilltop
area,
where
I
think
that
there's
a
need,
but
I
also
think
there's
other
needs
and
I
realize
you
have
to
do
what
you
have.
O
You
know,
spread
your
resources
or
spread
thin,
and
you
have
to
do
what
you
can
to
make
the
most
impact.
But
there
are
other
neighborhoods
that
are
desperately
in
need
of
help
and
I.
Think
if
we
were
some
way
we
can
help
build
upon
that
increase.
Your
volunteerism
extend
some
financial,
some
financial
support
there.
O
O
We
did
Sally
State
woman
didn't
live
in
our
district,
but
now
she's
moved
to
Anthony,
Kyle
Hills
district
I,
don't
know
so
we
don't
have,
though
she
moved
to
councilman
Harris
this
district
I
apologize,
so
we
don't
have
sort
of
my
son,
so
we
don't
have
a
representative
from
the
West
and
so
I
really
want
to
make
sure
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
representative
from
the
West
End
there
and
I'd
like
to
make
a
recommendation.
Okay,.
K
O
That
so,
and
and
and
not
just
one
or
two
I,
don't
just
want
to
talk
in
person
from
the
West
End
all
the
time,
because
you
know
I
see
that
a
lot
of
times
you
know
and
I
want
to
be
thankful.
I'm
gonna
be
honest.
This
administration
has
put
more
people
from
our
area
and
recommendations
that
I've
given
them
on
boards
and
authorities.
O
So
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
they've
done
that,
but
I
don't
want
just
one
person
here
or
there
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know,
as
the
East
End
has
a
significant
number
of
people
on
boards
and
commissions
I
want
to
make
sure
the
West
End
in
southwest
of
the
river
and
Northside
also
have
some
of
those.
You
know
numbers
across
the
across
the
board
that
are
evenly
disbursed
and
not
just
one
person.
Speaking
for
the
entire
West
End.
Just
like
you
have
various
opinions.
O
Do
want
to
thank
and
acknowledge
Missy
who's
done
a
ton
of
work
in
the
anti-litter
campaign
and
she's
the
entire
litter
coordinator,
and
she
has
done
and
and
again
the
administration
has
given
her
the
authority
to
get
cameras
to
get
to
issue
citations
and
to
do
more.
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
her
have
more
help
in
the
community
with
people
who
can
actually
issue
the
citations,
because
you
know
one
person
is
not
going
to
catch
everybody
littering
or
dumping
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
O
But
a
group
of
people
might
have
a
better
chance,
and
so
I'd
like
to
talk
about
that
too,
and
how
we're
I'm
using
that
enforcing
some
of
these.
These
fines,
because
I
think
then
we
could
get
more
additional
funding
to
you
in
a
way.
That's
making
the
people
actually
violating
the
code
pay
paying
for
the
for
the
cleanup
and
not
the
people
that
everyday
are
doing
the
right
thing
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
O
You
know
taking
more
tax
money
off
of
them,
but
so
I'd
like
to
talk
about
that,
but
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
that
she
just
really
just
did
a
huge
cleanup
over
and
Sheriden
on
motor
Street,
where
there
was
illegal
dumping
occurring
there
and
honestly,
it's
just.
It
makes
me
sick,
because
sometimes
you
talk
about
the
illegal
dumping
and
I.
O
You
know
people
go
on
social
media
and
they're,
making
all
kinds
of
comments
about
the
city
and
about
this,
and
some
of
those
people
are
the
very
people
that
are
doing
the
illegal
dumping
and
and
doing
things
that
are
harming
the
people.
That
say
that
they
love
their
neighborhoods
and
their
communities
forever,
but
they're
really
causing
you
know,
damage
to
their
to
their
hillsides
and
to
their
community.
With
the
illegal
dumping
and
the
flooding
I
mean
we
have
flooding
in
the
West
End.
O
It
was
all
due
to
illegal
dumping,
and
so
I
think
that
people
need
to
realize
the
significant
impact.
It's
not
just.
Oh
there's
litter
on
the
ground
that
looks
ugly
I
mean
it's
causing
significant
problems
for
our
city
and
for
our
residents.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
acknowledge
the
work.
You
do
and
say
how
important
this
is
and
if
there's
anything
I
can
do.
I'd
like
to
and
I
don't
have
a
conversation
with
you
and
I
want
to
just
say
at
least
you've
been
amazing
and
I
notice.
D
P
P
L
P
O
O
I
Group,
okay
and
getting
clean
ways
say:
I
donate
to
them.
Actually,
I
have
a
little
story
that
neighbor
commercient
up
the
house
and
said
they're
throwing
tires
over
the
hill,
we're
just
garbage,
so
I
go
down,
and
here
they're
picking
them
up
and
carrying
them
up
over
the
hill
and
I
said:
I
have
to
give
you
a
proclamation
after
what
they
did
on
that
hillside.
It
was
just
wonderful.
So
every
year
I
donate
to
your
group
and
I
anytime,
I
call
you're
out
there.
I
M
So
I'm
glad
you
the
whole
are
here
today
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
chance
to
talk
about
kind
of
what
it's
like
on
these
on
in
the
cleanups.
It's
just
my
sense
that,
although
we're
all
giving
all
of
it,
our
time
and
energy,
ate
that
it's
getting
worse
right
so
and
especially
I
just
wanted
to
also
share
that
we're
talking
about.
You
know
it
used
to
be
tires
and
TVs,
but
what
we've
been
I
think
increasingly
paying
attention
to.
M
Is
our
single
use,
consumer
product,
single-use
plastics
and
the
volume
of
waste
that
it
seems
like
every
decade
I'm
in
my
50s
every
decade
it
seems
like
there's
more,
not
just
stuff,
there's
stuff
in
people's
houses
as
well,
though
it's
hard
to
recycle
events
are
fantastic
for
clearing
that
out,
but
people's
houses
are
full,
but
then
we're
also
generating
like
the
kind
of
daily
amount
of
trash
from
grocery
stores
or
takeout.
Containers
and
and
I
would
just
want
to
give
you
a
chance
to
speak
to
that
yeah
I'll.
Q
It's
not
just
the
city,
it's
the
county.
Also
I
mean
it's
not
just
a
citywide
problem.
It's
a
countywide
problem.
We
just
did
a
countywide
survey
that
we
finished
last
year
and
we
estimate
that
there
are
486
dump
sites
over
27,000
illegally
discarded
tires,
and
you
know
well
over
a
thousand
tons
of
trash
countywide
just
from
our
driving
survey
throughout
the
county.
So
it's
a
huge
problem
and
and
I
think
that,
as
you
indicated,
I'm
not
sure
that
it's
getting
worse,
I
think
we're
more
sensitive
to
it.
Q
I
think
it
used
to
be
a
problem
that
was
just
accepted
and
I
think
that
it's
not
accepted
anymore.
So
when
we
see
it
it
it
hurts
it.
You
know
it
feels
it
differently.
I
think
one
thing
that
is
increasing,
though,
as
you
mentioned,
are
the
plastics
and
the
single-stream
are
single-use
items
and
Justin
can
certainly
talk
more
about
that.
Q
So
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
waste
audit,
so
to
speak
for
a
week
of
all
the
trash
that
we
collect
both
in
litter
cleanups
along
the
river
front,
because
we
also
do
riverfront
cleanups
and
then
and
then
on
the
in
the
dump
sites
and
really
try
to
weigh
and
actually
categorize
by
brand,
which
could
get
particularly
interesting
of
what
is
being
discarded.
Wow.
M
Well,
you
know
that
there
are
some
manufacturers
that
are
talking
about
eliminating
their
single-use
items,
which
is
just
fantastic,
and
we
know
that
there
are
places
that
have
banned
single-use
in
the
waste
stream
and
in
the
city.
So
I'm
really
encouraged
by
these
moves
and
I
think
that
we're
ready
to
have
serious
conversations
about
it.
So
I
really
want
to
appreciate
you
all
for
pioneering
and
calling
everyone's
attention
to
the
work
and
also
organizing
ways
that
citizens
can
get
involved
and
I
think
that
we
are
ready
to
have
bigger
conversations.
M
M
R
I
could
just
make
one
comment
to
that:
absolutely
councilman
grosses
questions.
You
know,
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
opportunities
for
the
CPC
that
you
have
a
collection
of
not
just
trash
advocates,
but
you
know
I
would
self-proclaimed
garbage,
nerd
and
also
policy
nerd
that
you
know
we
know
more
about
your
trash
than
any
of
you
ever
wants
to
know.
So
some
of
these
questions
like
it
feels
like
there's
more
illegal
dumping.
Well,
we
look
at
that
and
understand
that.
R
Well,
why
is
that
and
one
of
the
things
we've
talked
about
for
the
again
the
five
years
I've
been
involved,
is
lack
of
access
to
disposal
sites,
residents
have
a
trash
can
to
put
out
front
and
the
perception
of
some
is
well.
My
couch
clearly
can't
go
garbage-can
so
therefore
I
gotta
get
rid
of
it
somewhere
else
and
they
perceived
there's
no
access,
even
though
the
city
crews
will
happily
pick
up
that
couch
all
right.
So
it's
education,
but
it's
also
physical
resources
available
to
residents
to
access
these
services.
Again.
R
The
city's
made
some
big
progress
on
that
recently
and
we
hope
to
see
that
grow
and
continue,
but
we
would
hope
that
the
CPC
becomes
sort
of
the
voice
for
those.
You
know
the
technical
side
of
these
questions
that
we
can
help
advise
the
city
government
on
you
know
how
best
to
solve
these.
These
questions
we.
Q
R
R
From
again,
you
know
developing
new
resources
and
infrastructure
in
support
of
these
programs.
To
you
know
things.
I
talked
to
one
of
our
two
staffers
frequently
about
the
volume
of
litter
that
enters
our
rivers
through
storm
drains,
some
of
the
innovative
solutions
that
he's
brought
to
my
attention
that
are
being
used
globally
to
solve
that
problem.
They're
truly
accessible
here
in
Pittsburgh,
they're,
not
complex,
but
it's
getting
again.
Those
conversations
started
so
we're
actually
managing
the
issue
rather
than
a
very
literally
watching
the
flow
down
the
river.
Thank.
M
N
N
You
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
for
the
work
that
you
do
on
the
Commission
and
outside
of
the
Commission
as
well
so
consul
moon,
O'connor,
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
this
bill
that
your
sole
source
of
funding
is
our
dedicated
funding,
comes
from
violation
violations,
litter
violations
and
citations.
So
what
what
does
that
actually
result
in?
How
much
does
that
result
in,
for
you.
N
So
everything
that
you
have
is
raised
X
outside
of
that
process,
from
foundations
from
personal
donations
from
CDBG
money.
Has
there
been
discussion
on
the
Commission
as
to
other
possible
ways
that
you
could
seek
support
other
creative
ways
that
you
know
are
similar
in
nature
to
the
site,
litter
citations,
but
are
so
it
wouldn't
be?
You
know
pulling
from
the
budget
per
se
from
some
some
other
source,
but
it'd
be
similar,
but
actually
get
you.
Some
dedicated
funding,
yeah.
P
So
last
summer
we
had
our
annual
meeting
with
the
mayor
and
he
committed
the
the
cell
tower
fees
that
would
be
collected
in
the
right-of-way
by
mobility
and
infrastructure.
However,
that's
been
held
up
by
FCC
legislation.
I,
don't
quite
understand
the
full
scope
of
that.
So
until
that
moves
forward
and
again
that's
an
uncertain
unforeseen
amount.
R
R
I
R
Windfall
at
the
outset
of
that
will
be
enormous.
Presumably
you
know
provided
that
as
the
deal,
but
the
ongoing,
stable
support.
We
look
to
the
shade
tree
Commission
a
few
years
ago
to
understand
how
are
they
funded
from
the
city
government
cuz?
It's
a
very
similar
question
right.
The
shade
tree
Commission
is
responsible
for
shade
trees
in
the
city.
R
So
it's
hard
to
deploy
these
neighborhood
to
focus
and
a
broader
area,
because
we
don't
know
if
we
have
the
support
fort
year
to
year,
so
finding
that
stable
revenue,
source
or
funding
source
for
the
work
of
the
CPC
I
think
we
collectively
agree
is
a
really
essential
if
the
CPC
is
to
perform
all
the
things
that
we
have
again
done
in
these
micro
scale,
programs
and
neighborhoods.
Only
for
us
to
scale
that
broadly,
it's
gonna
take
some
some
real
support.
Well,
one.
N
Of
the
challenges
that
I
see
is
that
so
many
of
those
sort
of
environmental
services
related
penalties
fees,
goes
through
the
Magisterial
District
district
court
system.
It's
not
a
city
function.
I
know
my
office
is
looking
into
quality
of
life,
ticketing
that
could
allow
the
city
to
issue
some
of
those,
maybe
on
a
pilot
based.
N
You
know,
piloting
that
program
and
then
seeing
if
we
can
do
it
citywide,
so
that
the
city
it
could
actually
just
to
get
you
just
like
the
parking
authority
tickets,
you
for
a
car,
for
you,
know
illegal
storage
of
trash
on
your
porch
or
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
mean
there
are
probably
some
other
ideas
we
could
come
up
with,
but
I'd
be
interested
in
working
with
you
on
on
that,
so
that
you
actually
have
real
dedicated
funding
sources.
Ideally
we
would
be
ticketing
for
littering.
Ideally,
we
would
be.
N
You
know
able
to
get
some
money
from
all
the
really
really
good
work
that
Missy
others
have
mentioned.
That
Missy
has
done
and
the
some
of
those
cameras
that
we've
installed
and
are
setting
up
to
catch
illegal
dumpers.
But
it's
a
shame
that
it's
not
resulting
in
any
funding
for
you.
So
many.
Q
G
N
T
N
T
T
Let
me
just
use
my
neighborhood
for
an
incident,
for
example,
if
I
want
to.
If
you
come
into
my
neighborhood,
to
help
out
okay,
several
things,
there's
some
main
roads
that
I
actually
pick
up
once
in
a
while.
Just
because
I
feel
like
it's
easier
and
quicker
and
I
can't
stand
it,
you
know
so.
I
grab
a
big
bucket
and
I
have
trucks
and
dumpster,
so
it's
okay
and
I
can
get
rid
of
it.
So
what
so?
Where
would
we
start?
T
I
have
of
streets
that
are
lined
with
trash,
but
in
particular
I
have
a
green
way
that
has
which
I
like
to
hike
or
walk
every
once
in
lo,
and
it
has
everything
from
washers
the
dryers,
enormous
amount
of
tires
and
when
I
look
at
that
I
think
I
would
love
to
clean
that
out,
but
we
need
equipment.
We
need,
like
you,
know,
a
TV
to
ride
us
back
there,
and
you
know
it's
just
a
skinny
trail
I,
don't
know
how
else
you
would
get
it
out
of
there.
T
Q
K
Q
S
Q
Send
them
over
the
hillsides
are
yeah.
Our
liability,
insurance
and
workers.
Comp
is
through
the
roof.
Absolutely,
fortunately,
we've
never
had
any
major
injuries
or,
but
we
sometimes
we
have
to
carry
tires
or
or
trash
a
quarter
of
a
mile
or
half
a
mile
to
get
them
out
of
some
of
the
greenways
we've
done
it.
We
did
a
lot
of
work
in
the
greenways
in
Hazelwood.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
and
they
on
the
north
side.
T
T
T
Q
O
L
Q
We
have
a
dumpster
this.
We
do
work
really
closely.
The
one
did
I
interrupt
you
I'm.
So
sorry,
you
know
we
have
a
great
working
relationship
with
the
Public
Works
in
the
city
right.
P
S
P
S
P
P
Neighborhood
cleanups
and
helping
to
empower
the
neighborhood
stewards
and
the
people
who
have
on
the
ground
every
day,
picking
up
litter
such
as
yourself
councilman
to
help
them.
You
know
be
better
at
what
they're
already
doing
so.
We
are
trying
to
elevate
and
and
promote
policy,
get
more
funding
to
kind
of
prop
up
the
work,
that's
already
being
done,
and
then
in
you
know,
and
personally
it.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
factors
at
play
right.
K
T
I
haven't
McDonald's
down
the
road
from
me,
I
feel,
like
you
know,
sending
them
a
bill
for
picking
up
after
you
know
it's
unfortunate
to
people
litter,
obviously,
but
even
the
roads
that
I
clean
up,
they're
too
heavily
traveled
ones,
and
then
two
months
later
it's
it's
back.
You
know.
So
it's
really
and
tires.
You
know
they're
hard
to
get
a
get
rid
of.
I
have
problems
with
people
thrown
tires
and
things
into
my
dumpsters,
which
is
but.
T
R
R
T
R
It
it's
a
policy,
question
and
I
think
that
you
know
is
Councilwoman
Strassburger
points
out.
You
know
if
it's
tied
up
in
the
Magistrate
Courts
and
just
seeing
that
process
through
we've
done
the
analysis
with
Missy's
help
on
what
does
it
take
to
see
a
citation
and
result
in
an
actual
fine
paid,
and
it's
seven
layers
of
steps
and
nine
times
out
of
ten
the
preference
is
you
know
what
let's
not
go
through
all
of
that
that
red
tape?
R
Frankly,
let's
get
that
person
to
commit
to
volunteering
some
community
service
to
clean
up
the
mess
rather
than
collecting
the
$350
five,
which
is
gonna,
get
broken
up
and
split
across
three
different
programs
before
it
yields
the
forty
eight
cents
to
the
CPC
right.
So
there's
a
that
I
think
it's
a
fine
idea
right.
The
premise
is
there
and
it
makes
sense,
but
the
mechanisms
were
maybe
not
understood
at
the
time
that
that
decision
was.
T
R
T
G
T
S
E
O
I
Intern
son
from
the
different
colleges
to
help
you
and
did
you
any
work
on
fine,
so
I've
been
asking
this
question,
probably
for
the
last
12
years,
and
if
we
had
help
with
the
vines
we
wouldn't
have
had
so
many
landslides
because
they
keep
dropping
trees
and
I,
keep
telling
the
tree
huggers.
You
have
to
hug.
K
I
M
Q
There
there
are
two
different
questions
that
one
is
in
about
interns
and
we
definitely
have
used
interns
to
help
with
the
Commission
second,
one
about
Bynes
as
an
organization
we
we
have
worked
on
that
primarily
working
with
tree
Pittsburgh
and
the
parks
Conservancy
we
did
have
a.
We
were
part
of
the
parks,
conservancies
program
called
urban
eco
stewards,
with
the
idea
that,
just
as
you
mentioned
that
you
know,
many
of
the
dump
sites
also
have
a
larger
environmental
issues.
I
279
was
built
on
both
sides
going
on.
You
can
actually
see
when
everything
starts.
Getting
green
they're
choking
a
tree
sod,
the
trees
are
dropping
and
the
hillsides
are
sliding
which
causes
to
city
even
more,
and
you
answered
my
question
about
you-
do
work
on
the
trails
because
I
don't
know
how
we
get
the
garbage
on
the
trails
that
that
are.
Q
And
I
would
be
happy
to
talk,
and
probably
maybe
it
sounds
like
it
might
be
good
for
me
to
start
meeting
again
with
each
individual
council
person,
person
and
and
talk
to
you
and
answer
some
of
this.
Your
specific
questions
about
dumping
and
litter
in
particular,
I
think
I
got
us
off
track
a
little
bit
by
you
know.
P
I
R
This
the
CPC
has
not
received
any
funding.
I,
don't
know
that
in
its
history
it's
ever
formally
received
any
direct
funding.
The
two
organizations
have
received
CDBG
money,
as
we've
mentioned
I'm
pretty
consistently
over
the
years
that
we
use
that
cdb
CDBG
money
to
reinforce
our
work
in
the
Commission.
That's
an
elected
decision
that
I
think
we,
as
two
organizations
made
at
the
outset
of
this
appropriate
use
of
that
money,
is
to
support
the
work
of
the
CPC,
and
it's
enabled
us
to
do
all
the
great
things
that
CPC
is
done.
O
Q
R
I
I
I
I
S
B
I
S
E
O
I'm
gonna
need
to
just
go
back
and
say:
I
agree
with
councilman
Harris
on
this
there's
a
lot
that
I
want
to
say.
I,
think
that
when
we
talk
about
what
we're
here
for
it's
to
provide
the
basic
services
and
Anthony
called
Hillary
and
his
entire
campaign
on
back
to
basics
and
won
so
obviously
there's
something
that
the
constituents
want
to
see.
They
want
to
see
us
focus
on
the
Corvette's,
the
core
values
and
the
core
core
services
that
were
supposed
to
provide
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
certainly
trash
and
clean
streets.
O
Safe
streets
are
one
of
our
some
of
those
things
that
people
want
to
see.
So
I
would
absolutely
think
that
we
should
put
to
something
in
the
budget
for
this
I
love
to
see
and
I
think
that
the
Foundation's
definitely
have
a
role
and
the
private
funders
definitely
have.
A
role
may
be
buying
the
ATV
that
you
want
to
see,
but
but
to
sustain
the
service
to
actually
have
the
service
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
This
should
come
from
tax
dollars.
O
This
is
what
tax
dollars
are
for:
they're
there
for
providing
clean,
safe
streets
and
the
services
that
our
residents
want.
You
know
the
the
trash
pickup,
the
things
that
we're
doing
it
with
our
in
our
environmental
service
department,
so
I
absolutely
agree.
O
That's
important
to
us,
and
you
know
Reverend
says
all
the
time
our
budget
reflects
our
priorities
and
to
me
this
is
in
to
our
residents.
More
importantly,
this
is
a
priority
people.
People
are
sick
of
seeing
trash
and
it's
becoming
a
public
safety
concern
with
the
hillsides
sliding
the
landslides
it's
becoming
more
costly
in
other
ways,
so
you're
gonna
pay
one
way
or
another
through
tax
dollars,
because
these
dollars
to
clean
up
the
hillsides
and
the
flooding
are
also
tax
dollars,
whether
they
come
from
the
city,
level,
county
level
or
state
level
or
federal
level.
O
They're
coming
from
somewhere
to
clean
up
these
landslides.
So
do
it
on
the
front
end
avoid
all
these
landslides
avoid
the
flooding
it'll
be
less
costly
in
the
long
run,
to
actually
put
it
in
the
budget
on
the
front
end,
and
so
I
think
this
is
a
priority
and
I
think
it's
something
we
should
all
talk
about,
and
you
know
as
I
since
I've
been
here.
We
have
been
talking
about
quality
of
life
issues
and
doing
things,
and
it's
something
that
the
Women's
Caucus
has
been
focused
on.
O
O
You
know
just
get
it
done
so
I'm
gonna
acknowledge
mayor
O'connor
and
you
know
Corey's
dad
for
all
his
work
and
the
Bob
award
is
actually
named
after
him
that
you
have
so
it's
good
to
see
that
he's
still
honored
and
in
some
way,
but
I
do
want
to
say.
Do
you
think
that
the
Foundation's
in
the
corporate
America
they
have
a
place
in
this?
But
it's
not
to
provide
our
core
functions?
O
I
mean
I
have
an
extreme
growing
concern
of
the
foundation
community
and
the
corporations
and
the
private
funding
controlling,
which
should
be
controlled
by
public
dollars
and
we're
here
for
the
public
and
what
they
pay.
Taxes
for
these
services
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
what
we
have
to
do
to
provide
those
services
out.
E
B
Just
I'm
gonna
give
a
little
bit
of
background,
but
Tiffany,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
coming
up,
so
this
is
two
million
dollars.
This
is
not
a
new
program,
I
think
to
the
general
public
when
they
saw
the
announcement
that
there
was
a
new
program.
This
is
not.
This
is
two
million
dollars
that
all
most
of
us
were
here
on.
Council
voted
for
I
know
that
the
Women's
Caucus
was
very
supportive
of
this.
When
then
councilman
Rudy
ACK
was
here
but
I
want
to
thank
all
council
members.
B
This
is
money
that
will
be
spent
on
childcare
throughout
the
city.
This
money
is
going
to
be
spent
on
capital
improvements
to
childcare
so
that
we
can
open
up
more
slots,
obviously
in
in
in
areas
they
can't
afford
capital
to
do
these
improvements,
so
we
can
get
more
kids
across
the
city
into
early
childcare
facilities.
I.
B
There
is
a
process
here,
I
know,
Tiffany
does
have
handouts
for
councilmembers
to
explain
the
process
and
it's
going
to
be
going
through
an
agreement
with
Alliance
for
infants
and
toddlers
as
well
as
working
with
the
county.
Who
will
help
us
disperse
the
funds?
All
funds
have
to
be
spent
on
city
facilities.
I
also
am
requesting.
I
talked
to
Councilwoman
gross
briefly
the
other
day.
B
I
know
it
counts,
councilman
Smith
as
well
that
the
city
receives
quarterly
reports
of
where
the
money
is
going
and
how
many
slots
have
been
expanded
based
on
these
funds
that
that
we
dedicated
a
couple
years
ago
so
just
want
to
clarify
the
council
already
made
this
a
priority
a
couple
years
ago.
Now
this
is
the
point
of
dispersing
it
Tiffany.
If
you
want
to
add
anything
to
it
and
then
I'll
open
it
up
to
council
colleagues,
I'm
good.
U
Hi
everybody
I'm
Tiffany,
Seminole
and
I
work
in
the
mayor's
office
I
serve
as
the
early
childhood
manager,
so
I
work
with
child
care
facilities
across
the
city
and
want
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
been
at
the
table,
who's
really
supported
early
child
care
and
learning
over
the
last
several
years,
and
this
would
be
a
funding
that
would
allow
existing
childcare
facilities
to
improve
their
programming.
U
So
currently,
in
the
city
we
see
18.1%
of
our
child
care
facilities
are
considered
high
quality
using
the
state
quality
standard
keystone
stars,
which
means
that
the
teachers
have
degrees
that
they're,
following
a
curriculum
that
the
materials
and
the
programming
is
really
enriching.
So
not
only
are
we
taking
care
of
children
but
we're
getting
them
ready
all
the
skills
that
they'll
need
social
emotionally
physically
mentally
to
be
successful
in
school,
as
well
as
to
have
successful
care
for
children,
while
their
parents
are
working.
U
We
look
at
across
the
city
and
I
have
passed
out
to
each
of
you
will
be
able
to
see
the
actual
quality
in
each
of
your
districts
there's
papers
coming
around
for
that.
We
see
beginning
of
child
care
in
terms
of
quality,
keystone
star,
one,
no
stars
in
keystone
star,
one
is
kind
of
beginning
in
quality
and
we
have
75%.
B
O
U
So
in
each
of
your
district,
you'll
see
a
list
of
all
the
child
care
facilities,
their
capacity,
the
programs
they
participate
in
in
their
current
quality
levels.
At
the
end,
you'll
be
able
to
see
break
down
what
the
quality
looks
like
across
your
district
and
the
goal
really
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
more
children
and
high-quality
facilities
and
were
able
to
support
those
businesses
and
be
able
to
provide
high
quality
early
learning
and
care
as
they
move
up
in
the
state
quality
system.
They
are
able
to
and
you'll
see.
U
The
financial
benefit
sheet
will
tell
you
kind
of
the
impact
that
it
would
have
moving
up
in
quality
for
those
facilities
that
serve
children
with
the
childcare
subsidy
from
the
state.
They
are
eligible
for
increased
wages
or
increased
add-on
rates,
which
is
the
money
that
comes
from
the
state
which
they
could
use
then
to
help
their
facilities
in
terms
of
paying
better
wages
and
benefits
being
able
to
stabilize
their
businesses.
U
Things
so
up
until
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
Keystone
stores
was
an
optional
program.
So,
as
a
child
care
provider,
you
could
opt
in
that's
no
longer
the
case.
Any
childcare
facility
that's
legally
able
to
operate
so
they
have
their
child
care
certificate
from
Department
of
Human
Services
at
the
state
level
is
automatically
a
keystone
star.
One
facilities
that
have
a
provisional
license
will
be
listed
as
no
star,
so
those
are
kind
of
the
beginning.
So
we
know
that
those
facilities
are
safe,
that
people
have
clearances
that
are
working
there.
U
There's
no
chipping
lead
paint.
You
know
those
sorts
of
things,
so
it's
just
basically
safety
and
in
that
sort
of
thing
star
2,
would
be
kind
of
the
beginning
of
quality.
So
you
meet
all
the
requirements
of
star
1
but
you're.
Also,
looking
at
your
staff
have
certain
levels
of
professional
development.
You
have
X
number
of
staff
and
your
facility
that
have
degrees
in
early
childhood
or
education
you're,
offering
some
basic
levels
of
benefits
for
your
staff.
U
Star
3,
&
4
are
really
the
high
quality
sites,
so
those
are
the
centers
where
75
80
percent
of
their
child
care
providers
have
a
certificate
or
degree
they
are
providing
different
kinds
of
benefits.
So
that
could
be.
You
know:
health
insurance,
a
child
care
benefit
they're.
Following
a
state
standardized
curriculum,
they
are
doing
child
assessments
in
an
ongoing
basis.
So
we
know
that
those
are
safe
facilities,
but
they're
also
giving
kids
all
that
the
skills
that
they'll
need
to
be
successful
in
kindergarten
and
Beyond
and.
B
I
U
I
K
I
Because
you
never
know-
and
the
school
district
was
sued
once
for
a
setting,
that's
similar
to
what
you're
doing
in
the
mayor's
office
right
now
and
anything
that
could
happen
to
a
child
would
last
a
lifetime.
So
I
think
that
needs
to
be
looked
at
and
if
you're
also
dealing
with
children,
I
would
think
they
should
be
on
the
first
floor
somewhere
to
try
to
find
this
space
there.
We.
I
And
get
sprinklers
in
those
rooms,
I
I,
think
within
any
childcare
facility.
They
have
to
have
the
sprinklers
and
I,
don't
think
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
should
be
any
different
or
any
of
these
should
be
any
different.
Then
then,
what
the
safety
needs
to
be
the
level
of
safety
for
those
children,
I
mean
I,
I.
Think
you're.
In
a
fourth
floor
at
first
yeah.
I
U
I
Still,
it's
still
really
concerned
to
me
and
oh
you
gotta
just
turn
your
back
once
and
those
people
are
waiting
and
they
look
just
like
all
of
us
at
the
table.
Here
could
be
anybody
and
that
would
hurt
a
child
for
life,
so
the
safety
as
far
as
being
able
to
get
them
out
and
emergency
with
any
children
there
should
be
sprinklers,
and
if
we
have
children
in
this
building,
you
should
really
be
on
the
fourth
floor
to
have
that
accent
to
get
out
and
the
sprinkler
system.
You
went
down
there.
Okay,.
O
I
actually,
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
your
work
and
I
again,
I'm
going
to
point
out
that
this
was
also
started
by
the
Women's
Caucus.
This
whole
initiative
and
yes,
supported
by
our
men,
our
male
colleagues
and
they,
who
are
always
great
and
always
supportive
of
everything,
we're
trying
to
do,
and
so
we
we
appreciate
them
as
well.
But
I
want
to
say
that
a
lot
of
this
came
about
because
councilman
gross
held
out
her
vote
and
some
other
issues
and
I.
O
Don't
if
you
want
to
talk
about
it
to
make
sure
that
this
was
a
priority
and
you
know
she's,
she
in
Reverend
Burgess
have
been
real
champions
and
housing,
and
in
early
pre-k
and
summer,
youth
employment.
Things
like
that.
That
I
just
really
want
to
really
think
that
are
really
helping
our
young
people
and
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
one
don't
acknowledge
their
work,
but
I
want
to
acknowledge
your
work
and
thank
you
for
all
this
in
this
chart
that
you
gave
us.
It's
actually
startling
to
see
this.
O
U
U
The
wait
lists
are
so
long,
so
I
can
tell
you
on
many
occasions.
You
know
we
had
parents
that
would
come
in
sometimes
expectant
parents
that
didn't
even
care
for
six
eight
more
months
and
having
to
say,
unfortunately
that
classroom
is
full
and
we
have
a
waitlist
and
having
those
parents
say
either
I'm
not
going
to
go
back
to
work
or
I'm.
Gonna
have
to
put
my
child
in
a
facility
that
I
don't
agree
with
or
I,
don't
feel
as
safe
rental
feels
enriching.
U
So
that
is
that's
a
challenge,
especially
for
our
families
that
have
childcare,
subsidy
or
lowest
income
families
that
you
know
the
challenge
that
they
have
to
face
every
day.
So
this
is
why
the
fund
is
so
important
because
we're
giving
those
tools
to
childcare
facilities
so
that
they
can
move
up
in
quality
so
that
we're
able
to
provide
more
quality
seats
within
the
city.
So.
O
Two
people
have
a
responsibility
to
look
out
for
their
children,
where
they're
leaving
their
children
when
they're
leaving,
especially
when
they're
leaving
them
alone
with
anyone,
including
a
family,
because
most
the
time
when
a
child
observer
molested
unless
they're
molested
by
somebody
within
their
own
family
or
their
own
circle
in
some
way,
so
you
have
a
responsibility
to
still
check
on
them.
Still
show
up,
unannounced
still
see.
What's
going
on
and
you're
with
your
child,
and
if
your
child's
there
may
be
warning
signs,
maybe
you
can
talk
about
that.
O
I,
don't
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
then
you
can
make
sure
that
your
child
is
in
a
quality
place.
Don't
mistake,
somebody
else's
rating
and
somebody
else's.
You
know
numbers
or
statistics
for
something,
that's
good
for
your
child.
Not
everyone
is
safe.
Not
every
place
is
great,
regardless
of
their
rating.
You
have
to
know
what's
best
for
your
child.
What's
going
on
in
your
child's
life,
it's.
D
O
Can
I
just
say
it's
really
scary,
not
to
be
a
parent,
because
you
have
to
worry
about
so
many
things.
I
worry
every
day
about
you
know
Mike
my
own
family,
my
own
grandchildren,
and
when
I
think
about
having
to
leave
somebody
in
child
care
and
the
care
of
somebody
who
you
don't
know
or
the
place
that
you
don't
know.
It's
terrifying
for
people
and
to
me
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
best,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
also
tell
people
that
you
still
have
your
part
to
do
too.
O
You
know
you
still
have
a
responsibility
who
you
let
in
your
home.
You
know
whether
it's
a
boyfriend
or
front
and
you're
believing
that
you
have
no
other
options.
You
still
have
to
be
responsible
and
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
safer
I
think
most
kids
would
rather
be
homeless
than
to
be
abused.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that,
and
you
know
so
a
lot
of
times.
I
think
it
comes
down
to
some
of
that
unfortunate,
but
yeah
I'm
gonna.
Let
you
respond,
then
I
want
to
ask
you
something,
except
so.
U
I
will
just
encourage
families
that
are
looking
for
child
care.
There
is
a
website
called
compass,
it's
you
can
just
google
Pennsylvania
child
care
compass
and
you
can
actually
look
at
every
registered
child
care
facility
and
you
can
look
at
their
certification
history,
so
child
care
facilities
are
required
to
be
inspected
once
a
year.
They
give
you
a
month
long.
So
during
that
month
the
inspector
could
show
up
at
any
point
they
will
actually
go
through
and
they
also
do
a
certain
number
of
drop-in
kind
of
on-the-spot
visits.
O
I
want
to
say
one
of
the
things
that
bother
me
is
my
I'm.
Gonna,
be
honest.
My
nephew
attended
a
high
quality
child
care.
His
mother
is
extremely
bright
and
knows
knows
this
area
inside
and
out
and
I
will
just
say,
and
she
was
one
of
those
people
that
would
pop
in
and
see
what
was
gonna.
Yet
it
was
years
later
that
we
found
out.
There
was
somebody
in
that
facility
arrested
for
child
molestation
and.
R
O
I
just
want
to
say
those
stars,
those
ratings,
those
anything
you're
reading
on
a
website
does
not
replace
your
responsibility
of
getting
out
there
and
getting
in
there
to
see
what's
going
on
it,
it
just
doesn't
negate
your
responsibility.
A
O
But
I
also
want
to
thank
the
administration
for
working
on
this
and
putting
this
money
forward
because
you
know
I
had
heard
you
know
what
takes
so
long
and
I
said
to
somebody
long.
This
is
quick.
According
to
government
standards,
I
don't
know
what
you're
talking
about
I
think
that
I
said
and
I'm
sure
that
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
putting
it
in
the
right
place
and
putting
the
right
partners
in
place.
But
I
do.
S
O
U
We
all
have
so
we
are
looking
to
put
the
funding
into
it's
called
the
Early
Learning
Resource
model
and
it's
a
new
statewide
model
that
will
be
it's
kind
of
a
hub-and-spoke
model
where
it's
for
parents,
so
parents
can
stop
in.
They
can
sign
up
for
childcare.
They
can
get
a
child
assessment.
They
can
hear
about
early
learning
opportunities
for
their
child,
as
well
as
for
the
child
care
providers.
They'll
get
professional
development
their
support,
so
this
is
something
they
could
walk
them
through.
U
They
also
are
serving
as
the
financial,
the
fiscal
sponsor
from
the
money
that's
coming
from
the
state,
so
they're
handling
all
the
money
and
payments
that
will
go
to
providers
they're,
also
handling
the
CCI.
Ask
the
childcare
subsidy
they'll
be
the
ones
that
are
getting
that
money
from
the
state
and
sending
it
out
as
reimbursements
for
the
child
care
providers.
U
U
I
mean
they
I.
Don't
think
belts
happened
to
our
funding
quite
as
much
but
I
mean
I,
think
they'll
be
using
some
of
the
services
of
the
Early
Learning
Resource
Center's
have
for
the
child
care
providers
in
the
community,
but
what
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
is
going
to
be
able
to
do
is
once
we
are
moving.
We
are
moving
those
facilities
up
to
star
three
and
four
status
they'll
be
able
to
then
get
additional
slots
from
the
state.
U
So
right
now
this
year
there
was
an
increase
in
pre-k
counts,
which
is
the
state
pre-k
program,
which
is
her
families
that
are
a
little
higher
income.
So
three
and
a
percent
of
the
poverty
limit
and
right
now
what
they're
saying
is
there's
as
a
region
in
Pittsburgh
we
likely
can't
take
on
too
many
additional
slots,
especially
in
our
community
based
childcare
facilities,
because
those
high
quality
facilities
are
already
sort
of
maxed
out
in
their
classroom
space.
O
U
Q
O
Extend
this
a
little
bit
and
to
really
see
them
involved
and
allocated,
they
have
a
bigger
budget
than
we
have
it'd,
be
good
to
see
them
step
up,
played
a
little
bit
in
this
area
and
I
think
I
hope
that
you're
having
those
conversations
with
them,
because
I
think
this
is
the
they're
like
as
I
said,
I
mean
there's
areas
where
I
definitely
think
they
struggle.
Pre-K
is
not
not
one
of
them.
O
I
think
they
do
I
mean
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
as
someone
what
I've
seen
I
think
they
do
pretty
well
in
that
area.
But
I
do
think
that
it's.
We
need
to
have
a
conversation
about
where
what
is
the
best
way
we
can
maximize
and
the
money
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
best
results
for
our
families.
I.
Think
it's
a
terrible
time
to
have
to
worry
you.
O
You
have
to
almost
pick
between
child
care,
quality,
child
care
and
even
poor
child
care
at
this
point
and
working
because
it
doesn't
pay
families
to
go
to
work
and
and
put
their
children
and
and
in
a
daycare,
and
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
daycares
there's,
not
a
quality
daycares
I
mean,
as
you
just
gave
us
a
list.
We
know,
and
so
I
think
it's
just
a
really
difficult
time
for
families
right
now
and
you're,
really
struggling
between
working
and
providing
child
care
or
basic
necessities
for
your
family.
O
I
think
we
need
to
do
better
and
I
think
you
know
to
millions
great,
but
it's
at
last
I
checked.
It
was
over
70
million
to
actually
really
do
this
program.
So
I
don't
know
that
we're
just
not
putting
something
in
place
and
really
just
really
almost
wasting
the
money,
because
we're
not
gonna
see
real
results.
I
O
The
school
district
has
more
money
than
we
do
and
they
have
a
bigger
surplus
than
we
have
so
if
they,
if
it's
a
priority
to
them,
hopefully
they'll
they'll
step
up
to
the
plate
so
anyway.
So
so
what
I'd
like
to
see
is
is
for
us
to
have
a
better,
broader
conversation.
I
think
this
came
about
when
it
was
the
thing
to
talk
about.
O
I
want
to
actually
yield
results
for
our
residents
and
to
me
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
better
conversation,
and
is
this
where
our
money
is
best
spent
and
and
how
we
can
make
sure
that
our
kids
are
doing
great
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
you
know
they're,
better
partnerships
that
we
should
be
talking
about,
and
people
we
should
be
talking
to
that.
We
have
not
yet
done
so.
So
that's
just
it
for
me,
I
just
I
think
it's
a
conversation
we
have
to
have
thank.
M
Yeah
I'm
gonna
also
remind
council
that
councilman
Smith
I
pulled
out
my
notes
and
it
was
October
of
2014.
When
my
I
have
my
first
handwritten
notes
about
creating
a
childcare
fund
and
we
were
able
to
get
only
$250,000
in
the
2015
budget.
So
like
December
of
2014.
Maybe
we
got
the
first
$250,000
and
created
this
budget
line
and
created
that
first
capacity
study,
which
I
want
to
ask
you
about
in
a
minute.
M
So
we
commissioned
it-
was
fifteen
thousand
dollars
to
commission
with
what
is
now
trying
to
gather
to
study
and
see
how
many
childcare
facilities
there
were,
and
some
of
the
numbers
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
today.
And
then
we
also
created
a
small
task
force
that
talked
to
our
own
city
departments,
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
being
an
obstacle
to
improving
child
care
quality
and
starting
and
running
a
childcare
business
with
the
fire
chief
and
pl/I
inspections
and
zoning.
M
And
we
smoothed
out
some
of
those
things
to
make
sure
that
we
just
weren't
being
a
bad
partner
and
then
talked
about
how
we
could
be
a
better
partner
like
creating
safe
paths,
journey
to
school
journey
to
pre-k
and
then
also
I
specifically
remember
a
child
care
facility
that
needed
us
to
not
only
provide
crosswalks
but
clean
up
a
city
park
where
so
that
it
could
get
a
higher
quality
ranking.
M
You
really
need
to
take
the
kids
outside
and
if
you're
an
urban
center,
you
may
not
have
that
space
on
your
site,
and
so
they
would
we're
unable
to
walk
the
kids
safely
to
the
nearest
city
park
and
then
the
city
park
was
unsafe,
right
with
drug
needles
and
etc.
So
we
worked
with
DPW
to
make
sure
that
we
got
that
kind
of
the
pedestrian
safe
crossing
as
well
as
clean
up
and
maintain
the
park.
M
So
it
was
a
place
that
kids
could
play,
and
so
those
are
kind
of
things
that
I
think
are
also
on
our
shoulders
to
do
and
then
the
fourth
thing
we
did
that
year
was
to
create
Tiffany's
position.
And
so
are
you
full-time
now
because
we
yeah
thank
you
because
I
think
the
first
year
we
were
only
able
to
but.
M
When
we
we
kind
of
said
okay,
what
are
all
the
actionable
things
we
can
do
and
then,
in
my
recollection
we
were
able
to
put
the
two
million
dollars
in
addition
to
the
250,000
into
the
same
budget
line
in
December
of
2017,
and
so
now
it's
taking
a
year
to
do
this
programming
I.
Don't
have
that
initial
2015
study
of
capacity
in
front
of
me
and
I
didn't
refresh
my
numbers
and
we
each
have
only
our
districts
numbers
in
front
of
us.
We've
been
kind
of
comparing
notes.
How
many
foresters
do
you
have?
M
I
U
Apples
to
apples,
but
we
have
an
in
the
new
system-
is
a
little
more
responsive,
so
it
was
kind
of
a
block
system
where
you
had
to
meet
every
single
thing
and
when
I
was
a
director,
I
went
through
that
system
and
it
was
like
you
had
to
have
a
specific
statement
in
your
handbook.
You
had
to
do
you
have
a
yearly
audit
which
for
some
programs
they're
so
small,
that
you
know
that
was
a
huge
issue
for
them
in
terms
of
financially
being
able
to
afford
that.
U
U
M
There
was
a
childcare
for
how
to
childcare
fund
in
North
Carolina,
and
it
was
a
statewide
goal
to
increase
both
the
quantity
and
quality
of
childcare
facilities,
and
that's
what
I
learned
I
was
the
one
doing
the
intake
from
the
facilities
on
the
phone
and
I
think
you
know
this
story,
but
it
was
often
hey.
I
can't
take
on
more
kids
unless
I
have
this
stainless
steel
hand,
washing
sink
or
I'm
able
to
fence
in
the
yard,
so
I
can
let
them
outside
or
I
can
add.
M
You
know
another
bathroom
or
secure
my
sidewalk
or
railing
or
whatever
it
is,
and
so
these
capital
funds
are
critical
in
to
increasing
the
capacity
of
centers
one
of
the
things
that
is
different
from
the
program.
I
worked
on
20
years
ago
or
more
than
20
years
ago
now
versus
to
this.
One
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
that
the
one
I
worked
with
in
North
Carolina
was
a
revolving
loan
fund.
So
we
had
steep
money,
we
had
a
little
County
money
and
we
had
the
local
money
they
were
able
to
put
together.
U
U
The
facilities
that
serve
the
lowest
income-
children
just
because
they're
moving
up
in
quality,
they
may
be
getting
additional
funding
in
the
door,
but
there
are
requirements
in
terms
of
the
number
of
classes
of
staff
that
you
have
to
have
with
degrees
the
amount
of
different
kinds
of
benefits
you
have
to
offer
them.
So
you
know
folks
that
I
speak
to
say
that
it
would
be
a
hardship
and
and
I.
You
know,
I
think.
U
U
So
I
think
you
know
the
interest
might
not
be
there
in
terms
of
being
able
to
pay
that
that
that
funding
back
and
then
we're
also
seeing
just
because
you're
providing
a
high
level
of
care
doesn't
mean
you
have
additional
dollars
that
are
coming
in
on
your
bottom
line:
you're
you're
putting
those
out
in
your
program,
but
then
they're
gone.
Then
they
are
gone
but
I'll.
U
We
have
had
some
conversations
with
foundations
and
and
I've
seen
in
other
cities
that
once
you're
able
to
show
the
impact
of
what's
happening
locally,
there
are
a
lot
of
foundations
that
are
already
giving
out
funding
to
early
childhood
facilities.
You
know
they're
they're,
paying
for
a
playground
they're
paying
for
improvements
that
are
needed
for
stars
and
could
we
you
know,
as
a
city
show
that
we've
made
such
an
impact,
they
would
be
willing
to
put
those
fund
into
a
consolidated
pot.
U
M
Again,
I
think
we're
talking
about
trying
to
achieve
this
same
goal
at
the
women
on
council.
I.
Think,
first
envisioned
this
vision
it
originally
as
a
loan
fund
I
am
grateful
that
we're
going
to
be
putting
calling
attention
to
this
manner
that
we
funded
your
position
that
we've
hopefully
already
by
working
on
the
issue
and
bringing
in
convening
partners,
helped
these
businesses
succeed
and
expand.
I
would
like
to
also
see
some
new
startups,
which
I
did
not
sure
that
this
money
it's
going.
This
would
be
for
existing.
M
M
M
I
don't
have
to
pay
back
and
I'll
make
good
use
of
it,
but
I
saw
loans
and
result
in
more
seats
created
and
higher
quality
created
in
existing
structures,
and
other
states
have
provided
this
model
repeatedly
so
I'm
again
of
supportive
today,
but
I
think
we
want
to
also
really
not
take
off
our
attention
and
creating
maybe
even
a
mix.
We
know
that
the
RA
in
creating,
for
example,
mortgages
that
people
could
afford
basically
blended
mortgages
with
mortgages.
M
You
did
ever
had
to
pay
back
right,
so
there
might
be
part
of
your
mortgage
that
you
had
to
pay
back,
and
maybe
there
was
a
small
percentage
like
another
extra
10%,
that
if
you
stayed
in
the
house
five
years,
you
didn't
have
to
pay
back.
That
might
be
a
kind
of
model
we
can
use
here.
The
goal
is,
we
know
how
hard
it
is
to
keep
refunding
pots
of
money,
and
so
we
want
to
create
something
that
can
continue
to
do.
M
T
E
T
T
S
K
K
T
Know
you
told
me
that
once
before
yeah
that's
great-
and
you
know
the
other
thing
is
I
agree
with
the
Councilwoman
gross
I
mean
so
the
$2,000,000.
Once
it's
gone,
it's
gone,
then,
what
then
we're
starting
from
scratch?
Or
is
this
something
we're
just
going
to
divvy
out
and
not
expect
a
return
and
are
we
gonna
be
coming
back
to
the
table
for
2,
more
million
dollars?
Well.
U
I
think
we
could.
We
could
explore
all
of
that
I
think
once
once
these
facilities
are
able
to
move
up.
You
know
they
are
able
to
then
maintain.
So
you
know
if
you
or
you
look
at
like
a
Seton
Center.
They
have
everything
that
they
need
and
they
may
need
just
just
a
little
bit
of
operating.
You
know.
Maybe
they
need
to
purchase
new
toys.
So
it's
not.
They
don't
need
50,000,
they
may
need
10,000
or
something
like
that.
Yeah.
T
But
you
know
you
figure
so
two
years
we
divvy
up
to
two
million
dollars
and
then
three
years
four
years
from
now,
they're
gonna
have
new
needs
or
new
operations
are
going
to
have
their
needs
and
we're
not
gonna
have
a
pot
of
money
which
you
know.
Don't
again,
that's
everybody
wants
something
for
free,
that's
I,
don't
blame
them.
I
would
too.
If
I
were
in
that
business,
it
seems
like
to
sustain
it
yeah.
You
almost
have
to
do
it
on
a
zero.
U
I
think
if
we
are
able
to
show
that
we
have
strong
outcomes
that
we're
really
making
a
dent
by
supporting
these
child
care
providers,
I
believe
that
we
can
bring
along
some
of
our
philanthropic
funders
and
some
of
our
Lord
nonprofits
and
other
types
of
folks
who
may
be
interested
in
and
kind
of,
you
know
contributing
to
that
fund
in
the
future.
But
that's
why
we
definitely.
As
we
look
at
a
wording
funding.
T
E
O
D
M
M
C
E
O
O
Caitlin
and
Diane
Gilman
have
been
doing
an
amazing
job
on
the
city,
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
and
so
has
our
public
safety
folks
that
I
don't
know
if
people
realize,
but
they
go
door-to-door
checking
on
our
elderly,
making
sure
they
have
things,
and
so
they've
been
doing
that
in
our
area.
I
do
want
to
say
I'm
extremely
disappointed
that
it's
taking
this
long.
This
is
this
was
a
significant
storm,
but
it
and
very
close
to
you
know
a
tornado
or
something
that
the
winds
were
very
high.
O
However,
it
has
been
four
days
and
I
feel
like
the
communication
to
the
public
has
been
very,
very
poor,
I
feel
like
the
communications,
the
public
in
this
area,
and
unfortunately,
PwC
has
kept
me
informed
and
they
have
been
putting
some
things
out,
but
residents
are
also
getting
frustrated
right
now,
because
their
water's
been
out
since
the
break
yesterday,
but
I
wanted
to
say
they
have
been
very
good
at
keeping
us
informed.
I
think
the
public
needs
to
know
a
little
bit
more
I
think
that
they're
getting
upset
because
it's
been
days
without
it.
O
It's
been
now.
You
know
days
without
water
days
without
electricity
and
not
a
lot
of
communication
and
coming
out
and
I
went
over
to
talk
to
chief
of
staff
Gilman.
Yesterday
about
my
concerns
and
about
the
lack
of
communication,
the
lack
of
response.
We
have
cert
teams
trained
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
there,
it's
certified
emergency,
it's
community
emergency,
yeah,
training,
something
it's
the
community,
people
that
are
trained
for
emergencies,
to
handle
response
teams
for
the
emergency,
I,
think
it's
community
emergency
response
teams,
and
we
should
have
had
those
folks
out.
O
I
think
it
was
getting
that
message
out
to
the
residents
that
we
that
we
needed
to
do,
and
so
I
did
tell
him
that
I'd
like
to
ask
to
work
on
us
having
a
better
response
and
planned
for
whatever
happens,
because
we
know
that
this
summer
we're
already
anticipating
additional
landslides
additional.
You
know
extreme
rain,
extreme
flooding
and
whoever
else
knows
what
else
is
gonna
happen,
because
this
weather
has
just
been
insane.
So
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
prepared
for
whatever
it
is.
O
You
know
you
know
whether
it's
a
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
going
on
in
the
city
and
I'm
even
riots
and
other
things
that
we
have
talked
about
before
protests
and
different
things
that
people
have
talking
about.
I
think
we
need
to
know
how
we're
going
to
communicate
to
the
public
and
and
where
their
safe
places
and
where
what
they
can
where
they
can
expect
to
receive
that
information.
O
That's
what
I
think
we
need
to
do
on
our
end,
but
on
the
other
end,
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
have
a
conversation
with
Duquesne
Light
about
their
response.
I'd
like
to
know
how
the
the
neighborhoods
were
selected
and
how
they
responded
and
when
they
talk
about
Public
Safety,
and
you
see
some
of
the
areas,
public
safety
and
then
the
mountain,
a
resident
served.
I.
O
M
T
O
I
think
the
problem
was
that
that
came
out
and
it
came
out
so
late.
It
came
out
like
when
the
businesses
were
getting
ready
to
do
serve
dinner
and
so
I
was
trying
to
get
that
information
out
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
I
really
want
to
emphasize
how
much
Dan,
Gilman
and
Karen
Caitlyn
worked
on
all
these
things
and
and
and
even
PWSA
I'm
gonna
forget
his
name.
O
Jake
had
been
in
constant
cause,
you
know,
communication
and
we'll
pick
her
and
he's
always
amazing.
You
know
with
us
so
I
mean
I,
think
that
there's
been
great
people
working
on,
but
even
as
simple
things
as
the
residents
were
being
told
that
the
issue
was
isolated,
that
they
they
isolated
the
problem
and
they
were
working
on
restoring
service
which
summit
was
managing
some
are
still
waiting,
but
when
they'd
called
the
emergency
response
line
to
see
how
much
longer
it
would
be,
they
said.
O
Well,
the
problem
is
not
fixed,
they
would
say
the
opposite
of
what
was
being
sent
out.
So
the
messages
weren't,
even
in
sync,
so
I
think
that
that's
important
I
did
talk
to
Jake
and
he
was
going
to
correct
that.
I
hope
that
he
did.
But
to
me
it's
those
kinds
of
things
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
in
sync.
People
can
trust
what
they're
hearing
know
what
they're
hearing
and
then,
if
we're
going
to
give
estimated
times.
O
If
there's
a
delay
or
something
that's
going
to
happen,
that
we're
honest
about
it
and
learning
people
know
but
I
think
when
people
also
need
to
understand
when
it
comes
to
the
storms,
people,
there
were
a
lot
of
warnings
about
that
storm
coming
and
telling
people
to
be
prepared.
Yet
there
were
not
a
lot
of
people
prepared
if
you
know
so,
I
think
we
need
to.
O
We
need
to
do
some
drills
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
I
think
we
need
to
do
some
training
and
in
advance
of
any
before
we
come
to
the
part
that
we're
having
a
an
emergency
and
people
don't
know
how
to
respond.
We
need
to
do
some
training
since
and
say
this
is
what
to
expect,
and
this
is
what
you
do
in
an
emergency,
and
this
is
what
how
it
was,
how
to
pack
a
an
emergency
kit
and
if
you
were
on
medication.
This
is
what
you
do.
O
A
lot
of
people
that
didn't
know
I
even
got
a
call
from
a
woman
from
Homewood.
She
said
she
called
your
office
just
stayed
when
he
wants
to
help
you,
but
she
said
that
she
didn't
know
that
she
was
able
to
call
9-1-1
because
she
couldn't
get
her.
Electricity
was
out
and
she
didn't
have
her
medication,
but
she
was
afraid
to
walk
around
the
house
because
she
was
you
know
it
was
so
dark
and
she
was
afraid-
and
she
said,
but
I
survived
I
didn't
without
my
medication.
I'm
like
oh,
my
god.
O
That's
what
you
call
9-1-1
for
she's
I
didn't
want
to
bother
them.
So
I
think
people
don't
know
what
you
know
an
emergency
is,
if
you
can't
get
your
medication,
if
it's
life-threatening
in
any
way
or
serious
I
mean
that's
9-1-1,
then
I
felt
so
bad
for
her
because
she's
the
sweetest
woman
in
the
world-
and
you
know
it's
just
that
she
didn't
know
and
so
I
think
those
are
the
things
we
need
to
make
sure
we
educate
our
public
on
and
make
sure
we
get
out
great
great
information
in
a
response.
That's.
E
Right
any
other
conversation,
any
other
conversation
I
will
announce
next
Wednesday
March
6
at
1:30
council
