B
Okay,

We

and

I'm

Krause

We

Councilwoman
Harris
and
madam

May
we
PLEASE
then
have
the
purpose
of
Bill's,
1716
and
1811
bill.
B
Thanks,
madam
clerk
good
morning
and
welcome,
we
had
a
chance
to
sort
of
chat
a
little
bit
off
line
before
we.
We
went
live
on
the
air
Matt
if
I
can
begin
with
you
and
then
we'll
go
to
Earl
afterwards,
but
we're
just
going
to
ask
you
to
briefly
introduce
yourself
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
background.
If
you
will
members,
have
your
your
resumes
and
then
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
your
desire
to
serve
on
your
Commission
and
then
perhaps
we
might
have
a
question
or
two.
Yes,.
D
D
Landis
served
in
the
United
States
Army
from
1999
to
2009,
yes,
ma'am.
The
termination
of
my
service
service
I
came
back
to
Cumberland
Maryland.
My
hometown
started
looking
around
for
opportunities
and
wanted
to
be
a
rehabilitation
engineer.
I
had
sustained
some
injuries
in
the
military
that
rehabilitation
engineers
had
helped
me
get
through
and
when
I
did
an
internet
search
for
that
I
found
dr.
Rory
Cooper,
who
runs
the
program.
Human
engineering
research
laboratory
down
in
the
East
End.
D
So
I
went
back
to
University
of
Pittsburgh
and
got
my
computer
engineering
degree
with
him
to
work
at
the
human
engineering.
Research
lab
and
I've
worked
there
under
him
for
a
couple
of
years
on
prosthetics
and
orthotics
devices,
wheelchair
technologies
and
general
technologies
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
and
independence
of
people
with
disabilities.
And
then,
though,
it's
the
second
year
of
my
my
tenure
there
I
started
working
with
the
Mission
Continues
as
a
volunteer.
D
The
Mission
Continues
has
three
platoons
here
in
the
city,
the
Homewood
Hazelwood
and
one
in
the
South
Hills
and
for
those
three
platoons
I
started
the
Homewood
platoon
and
didn't
work
there
for
a
couple
of
years
and
then
at
the
end
of
that,
they
asked
me
to
come
on
as
a
staff
member
and
so
now.
I
am
one
of
the
instructors
for
their
leadership
program
for
the
national
program
for
veterans.
D
B
E
Name
is
Rocafort,
I
am
presently
the
chief
exec
officer,
a
riptide
partner
for
work,
which
is
the
local
Workforce.
Development
I've
been
every
located
to
Pittsburgh
about
14
months
ago
for
this
position
prior
to
that
I'm
from
Milwaukee
Wisconsin
I
ran
the
workforce
system
there
for
the
past
four
years
prior
to
coming
here
and
before
that
I
excuse
me.
For
15
years,
I
ran
a
workforce
Association
for
the
labor-management
association
for
the
building
trades
and
general
contractors
and
I'm
and
thoroughly
enjoy
myself
in
Pittsburgh
lots
of
great.
E
Has
been
great,
the
the
council
itself
has
been
very
supportive
of
our
work
at
partner
for
work
and
the
business
community
and
that
being
a
large
has
been
great
to
work
with
and
I
feel.
I
can
add.
A
lot
of
experience
to
the
vor,
see
my
past
background,
working
with
contracts
and
contractors
and,
most
importantly,
understanding
how
the
general
public
works.
That's.
B
D
E
It's
easy,
it's
just
two-fold:
it's
I
think
with
my
past
experience.
I
can
be
really
helpful
and
then
the
development
of
the
contracts
and
cotton
with
bringing
on
contractors
and
make
sure
that
their.
F
E
Understand
that
work
so
I'd
say
that's
what
they
can
be
very
helpful.
Uh-Huh
I
know
aspects
of
that,
but
also
on
some,
the
poles
development
pieces
that
come
with
put
workforce
understanding
how
that
could
be
added
to
that.
So
I
think
again
from
experience
and
my
present
desire
to
be
a
part
of
this
of
this
system.
They
bring
a
lot
to
the
table
and.
G
D
Much
as
anything
else,
a
lifetime
of
experience
advocating
for
people
with
disabilities,
as
one
thing
I'm,
also
just
generally
a
fighter
for
people
that
are
coming
to
the
table
with
less
resources,
everything
that
I've
done
since
I've
left.
The
military
has
been
along
those
veins
looking
for
people
that
are
less
than
whole
and
doing
the
work
of
helping
make
them
all.
D
D
F
So
they
need
it
or
we
just
might
but
I
think
that's
something
that
we
really
need
is
someone
that
really
pays
attention
to
those
with
disabilities.
I
mean
there's
disabilities
that
you
can't
see.
You
know
it's
disabilities
that
you
can
see.
Sometimes
people
are
treated
differently
because
of
that.
Yes,.
D
I
F
D
A
big
part
of
all
three
of
my
children
have
autism,
our
middle
child
is
severe
and
very
evidently
disabled,
but
our
oldest
and
our
youngest
are
very
high-functioning.
Both
attend
Kappa,
the
oldest
just
graduated
Kappa
this
last
year,
and
on
the
surface
there
would
be
no
evidence
other
than
the
kind
of
an
inability
to
control
their
volume
of
their
voice.
Sometimes
an
excitement
level
that
goes.
It
seems
irrationally
excited
to
do
things.
Sometimes
those
are
assets.
Those
are
things
that
they
provide
through
an
employer.
They're
gonna
make
them
incredible.
F
D
H
D
D
Conroy
I'm,
not
certain
the
gentleman's
name.
Now
it's
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
paperwork.
I
can't
remember
his
name
right
at
the
top,
but
yeah
Conroy
was
excellent
and
has
been
excellent
for
him
for
all
those
years.
He
just
has
gotten
in
these
16,
so
he's
physically
to
the
point
where
they're
not
able
to
handle
them
as
easily
in
a
standard
school
environment.
So
he's
in
an
assistant
care
program
now
sometimes.
F
G
D
G
To
make
some
real
meaningful
connections
in
the
community
and
do
it
right
and
not
just
I'm,
not
saying
that
this
is
what's
been
happening
up
until
now,
but
I
think
we
can
further
improve
upon
the
process
by
not
just
checking
a
box
for
MWBE,
but
really.
How
do
we
not
just
attract
the
right
kind
of
businesses
and
partnerships
but
help
to
grow
those
who
then
could
one
day
contract
for
the
city?
And
you
know
you're,
they
have
exactly
the
right.
Obviously
experience
to
be.
G
With
this,
so
one
issue
that
I
brought
up
every
single
time,
we've
had
an
interview
with
someone
beginning
their
term
with
the
ERC
or
continuing
a
term.
Is
you
know,
I
know
that
we
have
charges
to
focus
on
on
women,
minority-owned
businesses,
but
I
know
that
there's
a
there's
a
point
system.
That's
given
to
veteran
owned
businesses
and
I'm
very
interested
in
exploring
the
opportunity
for
LGBT
q
owned
businesses
as
well.
There's
there
are
some
other
cities
that
have
done
that.
G
There's
a
national
place
where
you
can
register
answer
itself,
select
as
a
LGBT
as
a
proud,
LGBTQ
business
and
so
and
I'm
interested
in
exploring
that.
Oh
that
as
well
I
understand
that
we
need
to
sort
of
make
sure
we're
doing
our
original
charge
correctly
and
you
know
have
everything
in
order
before
we
expand
our
our
charge.
But
that's
something
I'd
be
interested
in
talking
to
you
and
other
commissioners
more
about
I.
E
G
Great
Thank
You
mr.
Landis,
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
as
well
and
for
your
service
and
I,
just
I
think
I,
probably
coordinated
more
with
the
Commission
on
human
relations
than
any
other
Commission.
Since
I
stood
office
a
little
over
a
year
ago
from
you
know,
pregnancy,
fairness,
legislation
to
redefining
you
know
some
terms,
terminology
and
making
it
more
equitable
when
it
comes
to
gender
and
sexual
orientation
and
gender
identity.
So
really
look
forward
to
working
with
you
I
think.
G
There's
there
are
a
number
of
CHR
interviews
coming
through
and
and
appointees
coming
through
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
Commission
really
staffed
up
and
clearly
your
life
experience
and
your
professional
experience
will
will
be
an
important
asset
to
the
Commission.
So
I
don't
have
any
questions
for
you.
I
just
want
to
say,
I'm
glad
that
you're
gonna
be
there.
Given
your
your
background,
I'm.
D
Excited
to
work
with
you,
I'm,
looking
at
the
people
that
are
already
on
the
Commission
I'm,
very
close
friends
with
huazhi,
and
people
like
that
are
really
important
to
me
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
all
have
done
as
well
before
my
coming
here.
My
oldest
is
transgender
and
currently
in
the
middle
of
the
transition
taking
the
steroid
injections
and
things
like
that,
and
this
city
has
provided
incredible
assets
along
the
way
for
us
to
counselors,
for
my
wife
and
I
exclusively
for
my
child,
for
their
siblings,
specific
counseling
for
people
with
disabilities.
D
G
B
J
J
Those
members
of
the
public
who
want
address
City
Council,
please
come
forward,
you'll
be
giving
three
minutes.
The
green
light
means
the
beginning
of
three
minutes.
The
yellow
mat
means
you
have
one
minute
summarize.
The
red
light
means
your
time
has
expired.
I
would
like
this
moment
to
remind
everyone
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
come
is
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberations
which
are
or
may
be
before,
council
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
in
order
will
be
maintained
at
all
times.
First
speaker,
please.
K
So
I've
experienced
it,
and
so
therefore,
I
have
a
responsibility
to
come
here
and
to
say
get
off
your
Duff
write,
something
of
meaning
and
send
it
to
him
so
that
he
should
think
that
he
should
know
the
people
in
Pittsburgh.
Don't
particularly
appreciate
what
it
is
that
he
has
said
in
the
past
few
days
and
so
I
wear
the
red
shirt.
Why?
K
K
L
Good
morning
my
name
is
Celeste
Scott
I'm,
the
housing
justice
organizer
for
Pittsburgh,
United
and
I.
Just
came
down
to
thank
Council
for
a
really
robust
public
hearing
yesterday
for
the
iPod
in
Lawrenceville,
we
had
so
much
testimony
over
40
residents
activists,
only
one
opposed
and
I'm
just
taking
counsel
for
moving
this
forward.
L
C
J
C
Old
701
ordinance
amending
it
supplement
in
the
pittsburgh
city
code,
titled
to
fiscal
article,
9
property
taxes,
exemption
for
residential
improvements,
bill
number
702,
witness
a
minute
and
supplementing
the
pittsburgh
city
called
title
to
fiscal
article,
9
property
taxes,
exemption
for
industrial
and
commercial
improvements.
I
need.
B
B
J
So
my
understanding
is
that
these
these
bills
are
going
to
be
amended
and
in
finally
past
there
are
two
ways
in
which
we
can
do
it.
I
will
I
know
that
mr.
Connor
has
been
working
on
this
either
way.
I
think
will
be
acceptable.
We
can,
we
can
amend
it
on
Tuesday
or
we
can
hold
it
a
week
and
a
minute
here
at
the
table
next
week,
whatever
so
I'm
going
to
defer
to
mr.
M
C
M
M
One
is
a
start
date
of
probably
January
1st
for
the
new
letter
that
way,
if
you're,
in
the
process
of
going
through
alert
right
now,
you're
kind
of
grandfathered
in
so
we
don't
reset
the
process
and
then
also
after
a
year,
maybe
two,
depending
on
what
the
controller
could
possibly
do,
is
do
an
audit
to
make
sure
that
the
new
learner
is
working
as
effectively
as
we
had
hope.
So.
I'll
make
a
motion
to
hold
the
bill
one
week
or
both
bills.
One.
J
Week,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
that
opposes
an
a
a
am
looking
I
see.
Chief
Gilman
and
the
share
of
the
PWC
here
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
go
to
inter
government
affairs
committee
of
where
mr.
O'connor
is
the
chair.
I
think
your
page
six.
We
have
a
couple
of
bills.
Let's,
let's
just
go
through
his
committee,
your.
C
1874
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
on
behalf
of
the
city
turned
into
a
corporation
agreement
as
needed
with
the
Port
Authority
of
Allegheny
County
and
the
URA
in
order
to
determine
responsibilities
and
facilitate
completion
of
the
bus,
rapid
transit
project,
in
addition
to
authorizing
expenditures
or
city
funds
toward
the
bus
rapid
transit
project
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
ninety
thousand
dollars
and
authorizing
receipt
of
certain
funds.
Under
the
corporation
agreement
to
be
authorized
for
further
expenditure
towards
staffing
of
the
bus,
rapid
transit
project.
Emotion,.
M
C
M
N
O
N
Looks
to
me
like
we're,
giving
you
permission
to
do
anything
you
want
whenever
you
want
with
whomever
you
want
about
anything
right,
sorry,
1874!
So
again
the
resolution
authorizes
the
mayor
and
yourself
on
behalf
of
the
city,
to
enter
into
cooperation
agreements
or
agreements
or
amendments
to
other
agreements
with
Port,
Authority,
Allegheny,
County
and
the
URA,
and
it
does
say
in
order
to
determine
responsibilities
and
facilitate
the
completion
of
the
BRT.
So.
O
There
is
a
specific
agreement.
It
is
for
a
specific
co-op
that
is
underway
right
now,
which
is
to
enable
the
ultimate
construction,
the
the
receipt
of
pursuit
of
federal
funds,
receipt
of
federal
funds
by
the
Port
Authority,
not
by
the
city,
but
the
pursuit
and
mercy
of
public
funds,
federal
funds
for
the
construction
of
the
bus,
rapid
transit
system,
and
then
on
top
of
that,
because
the
city
needs
to
be
focused
and
and
and
active
and
having
a
assignment
of
responsibility
for
the
best
record
trains
that
this
also
provides
for
funding.
O
For
us
to
have
that
participant.
That
will
will
stay
uniquely
involved
in
looking
out
for
the
city's
interests
in
the
pursuit
of
this.
This
bus
repertory.
That's
what
is
specifically
allowing
us
to
participate
with
the
Port
Authority
and
making
sure
that
the
city
has
our
interests
protected
in
the
pursuit
and
execution
of
the
bus.
Rapid-Transit
believe.
N
That's
what
council
has
been
asking
for
domi
to
do
so,
I'm
sure
that
we're
supportive?
How
about
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
belabor
this
today,
but
I
I
would
consider
just
grammatically
changing
it
before
Tuesday,
so
that
it's
more,
but
you
just
said
I,
think
we're
supportive
of.
But
what
you
just
said
isn't
the
way
this
is
written,
and
so,
if
we
just
do
provisional
approval
today,
we
can
look
and
make
sure
that
this
isn't
giving
you
authorization
to
do
a
cooperative
agreement
with
anyone
whenever,
wherever
no.
G
O
D
O
O
Providing
funding
and
the
URA
will
will
be
there
to
the
extent
that
there's
any
participation
in
that
way,
and
so
it
really
just
outlines
those
roles
and
responsibilities
for
the
different
entities
that
are
there.
The
funding
agreement
is
is
a
separate
piece
that
is
yet
to
come,
which
is
exactly
how
much
money
each
entity
will,
and
so
the
Port
Authority
is
putting
that
together
right
now.
That
does
need
to
go
to
the
federal
agencies
in
the
near
future.
O
G
P
When
the
BRT
first
got
on
my
radar
screen,
you
know
written
last
year
really
I
was
very
skeptical
thinking.
You
know,
I
understand
the
whole
connectivity
between
Oakland
and
downtown
and
I.
Think
that's
great,
but
you
know
I
have
the
tea
coming
right
through
my
neighborhoods
and
we
have
a
long
history
and
not
all
of
it
is
good,
of
course.
So
so
in
my
skepticism
I
know
this
was
coming
up.
I
arranged
a
meeting
with
Katharine
Kellerman
and
she
came,
you
know
actually
into
the
neighborhood
and
before
I
was
before
I
was
going
to.
P
You
know,
agree
to
put
one
dime
into
anything
related
to
BRT
I
wanted
commitments
from
her
I'll
say
this
about
her.
You
know
mr.
Kellerman
came
to
my
neighborhood.
She
she
understands
the
needs.
She
sees
what
I
see
she's
committed
to
certain
things
there.
So
not
just
worrying
about
the
connectivity
between
downtown
and
Oakland
I
feel
that
she's
going
to
follow
through
with
some
things
there.
So
so
and
then
I
start
thinking
about
more.
You
know
really
the
whole
connectivity
between
the
South
Hills
I
run
across
people
all
the
time
work
at
UPMC.
P
You
know
it's
difficult
for
them
to
get
from
Brookline
to
UPMC,
especially
on
Sunday,
when
there's
no
bus
bus,
you
know
no
bus
running
so
absolutely
started
to
change
my
opinion
about
it
and
thinking
you
know
it's.
This
is
a
good
thing
and
I
look
at
this
funding
that
we're
approving
today
is
just
a
minor
step
in
exploring
it
and
having
the
Director
kellerman
go
out
there
and
really
try
to
hustle
the
funds
for
this,
whether
it
be
state
federal
wherever
it
might
be.
Ultimately,
the
project
I
think
will
affect
mr.
P
LaBelle
more
than
anybody
right
through
Uptown
I'm
interested
to
see
what
his
thoughts
are
gonna
be
on
it,
but
I
would
say
just
an
envisioning
it
and
talking
to
the
county
executive
this
morning
about
it.
I
feel,
like
you
know,
uptown
is
ripe
to
be
the
next
neighborhood
as
miss
grosses
Lawrenceville.
P
I
just
want
to
explain
that
to
the
neighbors
in
my
district,
so
they
know
that
you
know
miss
Kellerman
has
agreed
to.
You
know,
go
through
in
the
county
executive,
the
things
that
we
need
in
the
neighborhoods
that
people
come
through
so
and
I
won't
bore
you
with
the
details
on
that,
but
you
know
so
I'll
be
supportive.
O
And
I
would
like
to
enter
that.
I
think
that
this
is
the
beginning
and
not
the
end
of
increased
mobility
and
an
enhanced
accommodation
for
all
of
the
neighborhoods
in
our
city
that
our
ability
to
grow
back
the
economic
base
that
this
city
once
had
is
going
to
rely
on
people
being
able
to
get
the
plate
to
the
places
that
they're
going
not
using
private
automobiles,
and
so
our
ability
to
relieve
some
growth
in
traffic.
From
in
with
this
project,
all
of
the
East
End
neighborhoods
will
benefit.
O
Homewood
it'll
benefit
Point
Breeze.
It
will
benefit
communities
that
that
maybe
aren't
directly
touched
by
this
bus.
Rapid
transit
can
be
touched
and
benefited
by
it
by
the
ability
to
provide
some
relief
in
the
movement
of
people
on
these
corridors
that
we
can
move
more
people
on
these
two
important
streets
using
bus,
rapid
transit
than
we
will
ever
be
able
to
move
in
single
occupancy.
P
Vehicles,
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
you
and
I'll,
see.
I'll
tell
you
what
I
see
a
lot
in
my
neighborhood
is
people
who
were
retired
looking
for
a
job,
not
quite
ready
to.
Actually,
you
know,
give
up
the
workforce,
but
working
at
st.
Clair,
hospital
and
I
think
all
those
jobs
at
UPMC
out
there.
We
don't
benefit
from
it,
because
we
don't
have
that
connectivity.
It's
nobody's
wants
to
travel
an
hour
and
a
half
to
get
back
and
forth
to
work
and
parking
is
too
expensive.
P
O
H
P
F
O
O
P
O
N
F
N
O
O
Project
which
which
we've
spoken
about
before
with
that
project,
and
so
the
four
parties
are
the
the
Port
Authority,
the
city,
Allegheny
County
and
the
URA.
So
all
parties
are
signing
into
this.
The
the
agreement
outlines
the
responsibilities
and
and
basically
commits
us
to
joining
arms
and
pursue
of
this
project
and
giving
confidence
to
the
federal
agencies,
because
we
are
asking
for
a
substantial
amount
of
money,
a
hundred
million
dollars
of
federal
transit
dollars.
O
They
want
to
know
before
they're,
going
to
really
entertain
giving
us
giving
the
the
region
giving
the
port
authority
these
resources
for
the
bus,
rapid
transit.
They
need
an
assurance
that
these
four
very
important
partners
are
committed
to.
This
project
are
committed
to
working
together
and
ultimately
delivering
this
project,
and
so
that's
what
this
cooperative
agreement
says.
O
That
90,000
only
gets
us
to
the
point
of
hopefully
the
point
of
receipt
of
the
federal
grants,
which
will
then
make
this
project
real.
We
do
require
those
federal
grants
for
this
to
be
a
project
that
we
can
actually
execute.
Once
those
grant
monies
are
received,
then
the
staff
position
will
be
a
part
of
the
overall
granting
over
of
the
overall
grant
package.
So
this
90,000
is
money
outside
of
this
granting
project
that
the
Port
Authority
is
allocating
to
us
to
support
us
to
get
to
the
successful
submission
and,
and
pursuit
of
that
grant.
F
O
Project
goes
from
downtown
to
Oakland
as
the
trunk
line
of
the
project,
and
then
there
are
three
branch
lines
that
extend
beyond
at
one
going
down
to
the
Squirrel
Hill
Greenfield
area,
one
extending
out
to
Highland
Park
in
that
area
and
then
one
hoop
looping
into
the
East
busway
and
continuing
on
out
to
Wilkinsburg
into
those
communities
on
the
east
end.
Okay,.
O
O
We
we
worked
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
could
accommodate
and
take
care
of
the
a.da
access
concerns,
and
so
we
have
made
arrangements
that
the
access
vehicles
will
be
able
to
use
the
bus
only
lane
so
that
that
will
still
be
available
for
access
to
get
there.
And
then
we've
looked
at
ways
to
set
aside
accessible
parking
on
the
cross
streets
and
other
city
owned
parcels
in
the
project
area,
so
that
a
DA
access
can
be
maintained.
It's
very
important
to
all
of
us
that
that
so.
F
F
O
F
F
O
Yes-
and
you
know
that
persons
with
disabilities
are
some
of
the
most
ardent
supporters
of
transit,
because
that
is
a
really
important
means
right
for
them
to
connect
to
the
world.
So
this
actually
is
the
hands
on
disability.
It
depends
on
the
disability
and
those
that
cannot
use
conventional
transit.
Yes,
we
have
worked
very
closely
with
them.
We've
worked
very
closely
with
the
Allegheny
County
disability
board
and
that
this
has
been
an
ongoing
topic
in
the
design
of
this
project.
O
F
O
That
they
will
also
have
significantly
improved
ad8
access
at
the
bus
stops.
The
buses
will
be
immediately
at
the
curb
line,
so
they'll
be
able
to
deploy
their
lifts.
You
know
in
a
much
better
way
than
what
we
experienced
now,
where
the
buses
are
putting
their
lifts
out
in
the
in
the
roadway
and
and
people
are
needing
to
navigate
their
way
from
the
roadway
up
to
the
sidewalk
level.
So
this
will
be
a
huge
improvement
for
accessible
transit
services
in
this
corridor
and
and.
D
A
F
C
O
F
O
O
F
B
Just
briefly,
director
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
it
is
always
a
pleasure
to
have
you
at
the
table.
You
are
the
consummate
professional.
You
always
come
prepared.
You
always
have
the
answers
that
we
seek
and
I
think
it
needs
to
be
recognized
how
much
we
enjoy
having
you
at
the
table
when
you
come.
Thank
you.
M
M
This
is
the
cooperative
agreement
with
PWSA.
We've
had
a
number
of
public
hearings
about
this.
We
had
one
a
couple
weeks
ago.
I
know
there
was
also
a
post
agenda
held
I
want
to
thank
everybody
on
not
only
Council
but
in
the
mayor's
office,
as
well
as
a
PWSA
councilman
gross
for
serving
on
that
board.
For
a
number
of
years
now,
on
getting
this
agreement
together,
moving
everything
forward
of
PWSA
I
mean
they
have
started
to
turn
the
tables
down
there,
which
I
think
is,
is
a
credit
to
the
leadership
down
there.
M
Director
Weimer
has
done
a
really
good
job
over
the
last
couple
months.
I
have
no
questions.
I
do
want
to
thank
PW,
say
Paul
Yeager
was
going
to
I.
Believe
you
are,
you
might
have
already
done
it,
but
do
a
resolution
clarifying
that
it
will
remain
public
I,
think
that
was
a
big
conversation
that
a
lot
of
people
had
in
our
community
so
I'm
perfectly
fine
with
moving
us
forward
today,
I'll
open
it
up,
oh
I,
guess
councilman
Gross
is
the
board
member.
So
alright.
N
Just
say
quickly
a
few
of
the
things
that
we've
been
saying
about
the
cooperative
agreement
for
some
weeks
now,
which
is
that
this
is
really
like
the
daily
operating
manual
right
and
so
for
a
very
long
time.
We
didn't
have
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
are
currently
doing
on
a
daily
basis.
Weren't
spelled
out
in
the
original
cooperative
agreement
that
we
terminated,
and
then
there
are
things
that
were
spelled
out
in
that
cooperative
agreement
that
aren't
done
anymore,
where
I've
changed.
N
So
this
is
an
opportunity
and
for
the
citizen
at
home
to
understand
that
things
like
cleaning
catch
basins
right
that
storm
drain
in
front
of
your
house.
That
may
be
clogged
or
clap,
saying
who's
going
to
fix
that,
but
the
the
document
clearly
spells
out.
Who
should
do
that
and
other
things
like
well?
Who
should
pay
for
water
at
facility
certain
facilities
or
pay
for
the
things
to
be
replaced?
Which
of
the
parties
clearly?
N
If
this
one
doesn't
work,
which
is
also
important
to
understand,
because
you
can
terminate
either
party
can
terminate
with
just
90
days
notice,
so
that
it
was
long
overdue
to
work
on
this
agreement
and
so
again
thank
you
to
the
administration
and
I'll
think
of
people
at
PWSA
for
working
out
these
details
and
being
so
helpful
in
explaining
them
to
the
citizens
at
home,
and
it
is
so.
It
is
a
positive
turn,
I
think
in
creating
PWSA
in
1995.
N
We
know
it
was
a
bumpy
transition
and
that
it's
been
certainly
a
turnaround
time
in
the
last
five
years,
or
so.
As
councilman
O'connor
noted,
we
we
got
rid
of
the
the
International
private
company
Veolia
that
was
operating
and
maintaining
reduce
means.
They
had
the
executive
leadership
and
we're
in
control
of
the
authority
when
I
came
on
the
board
with
me,
or
you
know,
first
appointed
me
and
we've
got
rid
of
them.
We
cleaned
up
the
problems
that
were
created
under
that
leadership
and
its
really
a
pot.
It's
on
positive
financial
footing
and
I.
N
N
That
we've
started
to
aggressively
replace
and
the
fifteen
hundred
miles
of
sewer
lines
that
again
were
aggressively
identifying
problems
and
trying
to
fix,
as
well
as
we
placing
thousands
now
of
lead
water
service
lines,
so
that
there's
eventually
will
be
not
a
single
inch
of
lead
in
the
system
are
all
big
big
projects
and
it's
taken
a
lot
of
coordination
and
support
from
a
lot
of
people,
and
we
also
appreciate
all
the
work.
The
administration,
both
at
the
city
and
PwC,
has
done
in
working
more
positively
with
the
state
with
DEP
and.
N
Q
Just
want
to
say
that
I
really
understand
today,
I
just
had
a
brief
conversation
with
Dan
Gilman
and
director
legarre
and
we're
going
to
talk
even
though
I
know.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
stormwater
management.
It
does
have
a
concerning
to
me
the
overall
management
of
PwC,
on
how
they've
handled
the
red
oak
and
Hasen
project
in
banks
ville
and
also
banks,
ville
Road
and
the
flooding
that's
occurring
on
both
of
those
in
both
those
areas
and
so
for
me
today.
Q
I'll
abstain
and
work
with
the
administration,
but
if
next
week
we
don't
have
some
solution
for
red
oak
and
Hasen
I
will
raise
such
a
fuss
and
to
try
to
get
this
bill
recommitted
and
to
and
hold
it
until.
We
have
some
solutions,
because
these
people
deserve
an
answer
after
six
years
and
and
what
we're
doing
is
not
working
and
when
you
talk
about
the
leadership
at
feed
of,
say,
I'm
gonna,
be
frank,
I
think
the
leadership
well,
first
of
all,
it's
my
nursing
and
I.
Don't
know
how
accurate
this
is.
Q
Q
It's
not
as
if
they've
willingly
gone
into
doing
all
these
right
things
I
think
that
they
have
had
a
board
and
leadership
and
the
administration
that's
holding
them
accountable.
So
for
that
I'm
willing
to
work
with
the
administration
on
and
I'll
abstain
today,
but
come
next
week.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
something
to
report
back
to
the
residents
of
red
oak
and
hasten
in
banks,
Bell
Road,
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
with
with
PWSA
and
I.
Q
D
F
F
P
I've
been
very
encouraged,
you
know
what
I've
seen
a
PWSA
lately
I
know:
there's
problems
up
and
Councilwoman
kill.
Smiths
I've
been
up
there,
I
have
so
similar
of
problems
and
I
called
on
PWSA
to
be
a
partner
with
me
in
stormwater
management.
You
know
it
really
comes
down
to
that.
For
me
in
my
district
they
don't
supply
my
water
anyway,
so
so
this
is
where
we
really
need
them
and
we
need
them
in
a
worse
way,
so
I'm
asking
for
commitments
out
of
them
for
certain
things,
but
no
I
like
the
direction
I.
P
You
know
I
feel
confident,
and
you
know
what
they've
been
doing
lately
and
you
know
have
no
problem
supporting
this
today.
This
is,
though,
by
no
means,
you
know
me
buying
into
you
know
with
what's
the
comer
or
what
PWSA
would
like
to
come,
but
but
I
certainly
have
enough
confidence
to
go
through
with
this
today.
N
Wanted
to
note
also
that
I'm
happy
to
see
that
the
clock
is
attached
in
the
text
file
in
the
legislation,
I
think
for
very
significant
agreements
like
keeping
the
water
system
public
and
the
daily
operating
manuals,
so
to
speak
for
the
water
system.
It's
it's
good
that
it's
in
the
public
eye
and
we've
had
this
discussion
about
other
kinds
of
co-op
agreements.
There
are
little
tiny
co-op
agreements,
but
then
there
are
really
big
important
co-op
agreements,
and
so
it's
I'm
happy
that
it's
in
the
legislative
record
and
I
just
wanted
to
remind
councilmen
of
that.
J

J
B
Talked
about
the
the
one
on
the
1600
block
of
Carson
I'm,
just
really
really
excited
to
see
this
project
come
to
fruition,
it's
one
of
the
properties
that
really
needed
sprucing
up
and
in
these
Carson
Street
corridor,
and
this
is
going
to
be
in
a
wonderful
ice-cream
shop
right
next
to
the
Rex
theater
and
it's
a
it's
a
great
addition
to
Carson
Street.
We're
really
excited
about
it.
So
thank
you
any.

witnessed

in

adding
a

to
establish
a
new
interim
planning
overlay
district
for
the
inclusionary
housing
interim
planning
overlay
district.
It's.
N
N
N
Don't
it
would
be
a
big
packet,
so
I,
don't
think
we'll
be
able
to
print
them
right
now,
where
some
like
capitalization
and
making
some
vocabulary
consistent
and
clarifying
muncipal
section,
so
it
was
unanimously
approved.
As
you
know,
this
has
been
two
years
or
more
in
the
making
when
we
first
started
talking
about
an
interim
planning
overlay
district
for
Lawrenceville,
because
it's
under
so
much
tremendously
rapid
change
statistics
that
we
heard
yesterday
in
the
public
hearing
we're
like
a
quarter
of
the
long-term
residents
lost
in
just
the
last
three
years.
N
N
The
Housing
Opportunity
Fund
and
the
affordable
housing
task
force
discussion
that
not
only
was
inclusionary
zoning
recommended
by
all
of
that
work.
But
then
also,
we
talked
especially
about
how
we
need
these
policies
to
be
Pittsburgh
policies
and
not
just
policies
that
work
for
some
other
city
and
for
those
of
you
who
don't
live
in
Lawrenceville.
N
But
may
have
visited
it
when
you
see
all
of
those
how
those
rooftops
of
individual
homes,
what
you
didn't
see
over
the
last
five
years
was
that
every
time
one
of
those
houses
kind
of
went
on
the
market,
maybe
got
flipped
and
sold
for
a
tremendous
amount
of
money.
It
was
very
likely
that
we
lost
three-
maybe
four
apartments
that
had
been
housed
in
that
house.
So
as
those
homes
go
from,
you
know
hundred
thousand
dollar
homes
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
homes.
N
We
heard
a
lot
of
testimony
from
residents
about
how
the
neighborhood
and
their
neighbors
are
changing,
that
the
neighbors
are
actually
becoming
more
homogeneously,
wealthy,
and
so
it
is
not
in
this
neighborhoods
master
plan
for
itself
to
become
a
neighborhood
of
concentrated
wealth.
It
is
in
there
clearly
articulated
vision
for
themselves
over
the
over
many
years
of
community
planning
that
they
spearheaded
ended
participatory
planning
themselves
to
be
mixed
income
and
have
mixed
dwelling
types.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
City
Council
to
help
codify
community's
own
vision
for
itself.
So
I
appreciate
your
support.
Q
Q
Just
want
to
congratulate
councilman,
Gross
I
know
how
hard
she's
worked
with
this
on
this
she's
worked
with
the
community
she's
worked
with,
but
she
knew
her
community.
She
knew
what
needed
to
happen,
and
it's
been
a
long
time
and
so
I
just
want
to
congratulate,
because
you
really
did
a
great
job
on
this.
N
N
Q
P
Ya
know
I
just
want
to
say
good
work
on
that
Councilwoman
gross
I
think
you
know
you're
the
right
person
for
your
district.
You
know
with
this
this
issue
that
you
know
you
have
going
on
down
there
when
I
say
issue,
I
mean
a
lot
of
people.
Look
at
it
as
a
good
thing,
of
course,
and
it
is
in
many
ways,
but
but
as
to
what
your
bill
says
and
I
think
it
goes
beyond
that.
I
really
do
believe
it
ties
into
what
I
think
will
be
the
next.
P
You
know
part
of
downtown
or
section
of
downtown,
whether
it
be
councilman,
Lavelle's
district
with
the
Uptown
area
or
anything
like
that
were
able
to
keep
affordable
housing
and
Pittsburgh
people
live
in
downtown
and
in
those
in
those
places.
I
do
want
to
note,
though
you
know,
I,
think
it
would
be
a
handicap
almost
in
my
district,
whereas
you
know
we
don't
look
for
big
development,
we
don't
really
have
big
development,
but
if
for
the
right
project
were
to
come
along,
I,
don't
want
it
to
be
the
difference
of
them,
building
in
Brookline
or
Doremon.

Need.
Q
H
J
Second,
second,
thank
you
very
much
now
in
front
of
you
is
an
amendment,
so
let
me
before,
but
before
I
go
through
the
amendment
and
bring
Sean
up
if
necessary.
Let
me
basically
tell
you
what
this
is.
A
developer
is
redoing
the
old
Lymington
home,
which
is
off
Lincoln
Avenue
in
the
Lincoln
Larmour,
when
the
Lincoln
area
of
Pittsburgh
they're,
building
senior
apartments
and
they're
moving
the
health
center
to
the
first
floor
of
the
senior
apartments.
The
problem,
though,
is
that
there
is
no
bus
service.
When
they
move
to
the
new
facility.
J
There
will
be
no
buff
surface.
That
means
the
seniors
who
catch
public
transportation
have
to
work
up
a
heel
to
get
to
the
health
center,
and
so
what
this
does
is
facilitates
the
widening
of
the
road
and
so
we're
going
to
accept
a
very
small
portion
of
the
road
so
that
we
can
hit
get
state
funding
to
widen
the
road.
J
So
the
Port
Authority
can
take
the
buses
because
they
can't
make
the
turn
anymore
with
the
bigger
buses
to
get
up
the
road
so
that
the
seniors
will
be
able
to
get,
and
everybody
will
be
at
a
pitch
public
transportation
to
the
health
center.
That's
really
what
this
is
about
its
technical,
that's
the
whole
point
of
this,
and
so
we
have
a
motion
to
a.
We
have
a
mement
on
your
table.
I
need
a
motion
to
amend,
motion.
J
Q
Just
want
to
say
that
I'm
glad
you're
doing
this,
because
now
it's
it's
also
a
template
for
us
to
do
this
across
the
city
in
areas
that
we're
having
some
of
the
same
problems.
We're
busing
cannot
make
a
turn
and
their
seniors
that
need
access
to
transportation.
So
thank
you
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
the
Port
Authority
in
the
state
of
running
thank.
J
J
I
think
all
right
now
I
have
some
announcements
this
afternoon
at
1:30
down
to
a
hold
of
cablecast
public
hearing
on
Leo
2019
1779.
It
relates
to
a
petition
on
the
random
and
excessive
bus
route
and
stop
changes
in
the
city's
Morningside
neighborhood.
Tomorrow,
Thursday
July
18th
at
1:30
council
holding
executive
session,
has
released
two
legal
matters
on
Monday
July
22nd
at
1:30
counsel
or
durable,
cast
post
public
hearing
on
bill.
J
R
Make
it
a
quick
announcement?
We
have
some
guests
here
with
us
today.
Mr.
Oz
Nesbitt
senior
is
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
commissioners
for
Rockdale
County
in
Georgia,
which
is
part
of
the
Atlanta
metropolitan
region,
and
also
with
him
is
Roslyn
mither
Miller.
Excuse
me,
who
is
director
of
their
Department
of
Finance,
all.
J
Q
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
when
we
have
this
legislation
to
rename
just
the
basketball
court
at
Olympia
after
mr.
Masucci,
who
was
tremendous
guy
in
Mount,
Washington
worked
with
all
sorts
of
children
in
the
community
and
was
really
known
as
the
mayor
of
Olympia
and
his.
They
don't
want
the
whole
park
named
after
him.
They
just
want
the
basketball
court
named
after
him.
Q
B
Yesterday
and
I
fail
to
do
so
in
madam
Clerk,
maybe
you'll
help
me
out,
because
I
didn't
pull
up
the
exact
email
I
wanted
to,
but
Kim
our
deputy
clerk
has
received
her
certification
as
a
certified
municipal
clerk,
which
is
an
amazing
achievement,
an
amount
of
very,
very
hard
work
and
dedication
and
I
meant
to
mention
this
yesterday.
I
did
not
want
this
to
go
and
said
how
very
proud
we
are
of
Kim
and
the
hard
work
that
she
has
achieved
her
certification.
So
congratulations.
Q
I
just
want
to
say
that
madam
clerk,
thank
you
too,
because
when
you
first
came
here,
I
gave
you
a
hard
time
because
I
wanted
him
to
be
the
d
clerk
I
thought
she
earned
it.
I
thought
she's
a
great
person,
but
I
know
that
you
had.
She
has
trust
in
you
and
built
a
relationship
between
the
two.
Q
This
has
been
amazing
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
for
what
the
two
of
you
have
done
together
and
overcame
those
obstacles,
and
that
you
said
to
me
that
you
were
going
to
make
sure
that
any
way
you
could
support
Kim
in
her
endeavors.
That's
that
you
would
and
you've
really
held
true
to
that
someone.
Thank
you
also,
the
congratulations
Kim
we
already.
You
don't
need
a
piece
of
paper
for
us
to
know
how
amazing
you
are
so
just
want
to
tell
you
think.
Congratulations.
