and
recreation
assistant.
C
$26,000,
there's
also
an
addition
of
a
part-time

seasonal

event,
technician
at
the
cost
of
twenty

They

lines

million,
eight

forty
three
thousand
dollars
or
thirty
six
percent.
The
largest
increase
for
that
is
for
Aedes
and
heart
monitors.
One
point:
four
million
dollars
and
you'll
see
that
in
that
line-item
machinery
and
equipment,
as
approved
by
council
last
month.
C
Other
changes
include
perfekt
in
protective

investigative,
an
increase
of
one

Vehicles
increased

five
thousand

workforce

increased
by
seven
thousand
dollars,
land

increased

nine
hundred

There's
an

two
hundred

C
Grants

The
Bureau
of
administration
has
three
revenue
sources:
Northview
Heights
reimbursements
from
the
Housing
Authority;
that's
one
point:
five
million
dollars
salaries
and
benefit

for
park

of
two
hundred

One
hundred

C
There's
also
some
trust
funds
associated
specifically
with
the
Department
of
Bureau
of

The
yeren
bow

expected
to
be
two
point:
seven
million
dollars
on
the
anticipated
revenue
next
year
is
9
point
1
million
dollars,
eight
point.
Two
million
of
that
is
for
salary
reimbursements.
So
that's
when
folks
work,
details
and
and
other
places
outside
the
city.
They
are
still
city
officers.
So
a
trust
fund
was
set
up.
C
The
second
employment
trust
funds
set
up
to
be
able
to
make
sure
those
folks
get
paid
and
make
sure
that
the
process
is
fair.
The
special
events
trust
fund,
current
balance
is
five
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
dollars
includes
funding
for
a
part-time
farmers,
market
site
attendant
public
safety,
training,
trust
fund,
current
balances,
eight
hundred
and
sixty
two
thousand
dollars:
emergency
management
and
homeland
security
trust
fund.
Current
balance,
one
million
two
hundred

sixteen
thousand
dollars.
There's
additional
public
safety
trust
funds
that
are
housed
in
the
respective
bureaus
and
will
hit
them
as
we
move
through
and
we
are
joined
by
the
directors
today
and
his
staff
good.
D
D
Just
like
to
take
a
couple
minutes
and
make
an
opening
statement
here.
First
off
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
members
and
your
support
does
as
the
lead
for
the
council.
Its
public
safety,
also
at
the
other
city
departments,
have
supported
us
throughout
the
year.
The
many
police
officers,
firefighters,
paramedics,
EMTs
and
animal
care
control
officers
that
day-to-day
handled
the
situations
and
emergencies
that
come
up
on
a
regular
basis.
D
The
Public
Safety
Administration
is
currently
broken
up
into
the
administration,
Community
Affairs
and
operations
of
Technology
side.
The
operation
side,
as
you
mentioned
mr.
Vanek,
is
the
assistant
director
position
has
currently
been
listed
in
there
as
a
new
position
to
basically
provide
assistance
as
far
as
the
operations
of
Police,
Fire,
EMS
and
Animal,
Care
and
Control.
D
The
problems
that
I
face
on
a
daily
basis
is
I
have
to
be
in
two
and
three
places
at
one
time
and
can't
handle
all
the
meetings
and
events
that
occur
so
that
position
was
recommended
and
hopefully
will
be
approved
by
council
emergency
management
as
they
have
done
for
years.
Basically,
they
are
an
umbrella
over
all
the
three
or
four
beers
for
planned
and
unplanned
events
to
work
with
our
counter
interagency
partners
to
work
with
the
community.
D
As
far
as
any
promoters
that
want
to
come
in
and
have
special
events
in
the
city.
The
accomplishments
over
the
last
year,
very
close
to
activating
the
station
alerting,
which
is
now
two
years
in
the
making.
I
believe
that
the
station
alerting
has
been
installed
in
all
the
fire
stations
and
all
EMS,
with
the
exception
of
one.
D
And
hopefully
we
are
waiting
on
software
upgrades
to
be
done
performed
by
the
county,
which
should
occur
within
the
next
few
weeks
and
hopefully,
at
the
beginning
of
the
next
year
we
can
start
bringing
the
stations
online
management
of
the
incidents
that
have
come
up
during
the
year.
A
major
incident
this
year.
D
Our
major
was
the
Rossville
trial,
which
took
much
planning
and
preparation
throughout
public
safety
and
for
the
most
part,
it
was
successful,
allowing
people
to
exercise
the
First
Amendment
rights
while
maintaining
security
for
both
protesters
in
the
citizens
and
visitors,
the
city
Pittsburgh,
most
recently,
the
sinkhole
that
occurred
downtown.
A
management
of
that
initially
was
under
public
safety,
with
emergency
management,
police,
fire
and
EMS
all
working
together
to
resolve
the
potential
problems
that
faced
us
to
include
the
infrastructure.
D
Fortunately,
there
was
minor
injuries,
injuries
in
that,
but
we
averted
a
basically
a
disaster
on
that
if
the
bus
had
been
filled
with
individuals
other
accomplishments,
the
finalization
and
expansion
of
the
ShotSpotter
system,
additional
cameras
which
mr.
Schack
will
explain
further
the
communit
reach
continues,
continues
to
be
improving
throughout
the
years
that
I've
been
here
both
with
the
GBI
and
communion
treat
personnel.
We've
had
numerous
successes.
I
think
that
we've
number
one
been
able
to
prevent
many
crimes
from
occurring
within
the
city.
D
The
future
goals
of
public
safety
administration,
which
each
chief
will
expand
on
as
we
go
as
mentioned
mentioned
by
mr.
Hugh
Banach,
was
the
authorization
to
purchase
new
AEDs
and
defibrillators
for
the
city
to
basically
re
to
place
new
ones
on
both
fire
vehicles
and
within
the
city.
The
current
AEDs
are
reaching
their
capacity
as
far
as
battery
life
and
the
defibrillators
are
well
outside
the
lifespan.
D
The
endeavor
will
be
that
the
defibrillators
and
880's
will
be
compatible
so
that,
when
the
first
responders
arrive
on
the
scene
and
place
the
pads
on
the
patient,
all
the
medics
will
have
to
do
is
unplug.
The
connection
on
it
and
plug
the
defibrillator
on.
In
also
with
this,
expansion
will
be
an
expansion
of
placing
Aedes
on
police
vehicles,
which
has
never
occurred
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
D
The
body
worn
cameras
which
will
be
once
again,
a
new
technology
has
been
developed
and
each
officer
will
receive
new
body,
worn
cameras
which
will
be
interactive
with
new
Tasers.
Each
officer
will
be
assigned
a
body,
worn
camera
and
a
Taser,
meaning
that
they
unholster
their
taser
or
their
duty
weapon.
D
The
body
worn
camera
will
immediately
activate
the
further
outreach
which
assistant
director
Murphy
will
go
into
regarding
gvi
and
community
outreach,
as
the
mayor
mentioned
in
the
state
of
the
city,
the
expansion
of
the
substations
to
the
south
side
and
to
the
Homewood
area,
as
well
as
the
officers
which
will
be
dedicated
officers
to
those
substations
and,
of
course,
new
equipment
continues
with
new
technology
throughout
the
city.
We
will
expand
the
new
technology
being
whether
it's
with
cameras.
D
Tomorrow
night,
at
the
light
up
night,
we
propose
purchasing
a
sky
watch
tower
which
will
be
introduced,
which
is
basically
will
give
a
new
vantage
point
for
police
officers,
which
will
be
about
30
feet
above
the
crowds
so
that
they
will
be
able
to
monitor
and
have
a
wide-angle
view
of
the
crowd
in
the
downtown
area.
During
light
up
night
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
assistant
director
Murphy
and
she
can
elaborate
on
the
community
art
reach
and
what
has
been
accomplished
and
goals
for
next
year.
Thank.
E
E
We
also
have
disruptive
properties,
nighttime
economy,
Victim,
Services,
Park
Rangers,
the
multicultural
unit,
and
we
stop
the
violence
coordinator,
which
was
a
position
that
was
recently
added
this
year
before
I,
get
into
giving
you
a
little
bit
of
information
about
what
each
of
those
areas
do
and
what
they're
responsible
for
I
do
want
to
give
a
little
shout
out.
If
you
will
to
two
areas
with
an
outreach,
one
is
John
Tarkovsky.
E
So
far
in
2018
and
I'll
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
accomplishments
of
the
Park
Rangers,
so
victim
services,
we've
had
a
really
strong
program
with
a
referral
program
that
we
have
through
police,
fire
and
EMS.
So
when
we
identify
individuals
or
situations
that
need
further
follow-up,
that
might
require
some
social
services.
That
is
where
our
former
victims
assistance,
coordinator
Dana,
would
come
in
and
actually
work
with
the
individual.
E
So
we
are
currently
in
the
process
of
rewriting
that
position
description
now
that
we
know
a
little
bit
better.
What
we're
looking
for
out
of
that
role
and
how
that
role
can
better
support
the
department
since
Dana
has
left
us
to
take
care
of
her
doing
so.
You
decided
to
leave
her
position
and
become
stay
home
and
be
a
full-time
mom,
but
she's
still
a
great
support
and
volunteers
with
the
department
every
week,
so
our
Park
Rangers,
one
of
their
biggest
programs,
is
the
Ranger
program
that
they
have
for
the
fifth
graders
on
the
right.
E
E
It
teaches
the
fifth
graders
about
the
parks
and
nature
and
things
like
that
and
also
explores
like
different
career
areas
that
they
have
in
like
environmental
science
and
things
like
that.
So
getting
people
comfortable
with
being
out
in
the
parks
and
taking
tours,
and
things
like
that.
So
we
want
to
expand
that
across
the
city.
So
we
are
looking
for
funding
to
actually
do
that.
Since
the
requests
have
been
there.
The
Rangers
have
been
really
good
with
off
the
leash
incidents.
E
E
The
Rangers
providing
leashes
to
park
goers
that
have
dogs
so
that
they
can
put
their
dogs
on
leashes
working
on
getting
signage
in
the
parks
to
make
sure
that
people
know
what
are
the
designated
off
leash
areas
and
what
aren't-
and
you
know,
that's
helped
tremendously
and
the
support
that
you
all
gave
for
the
public
safety
zone
councils
in
providing
them
funding
to
continue
to
support
the
work
of
the
city.
Has
been
well
received,
their
group
of
volunteers
dedicated
to
each
police
zone
and
they're
free
volunteers.
E
E
So
you
all
graciously
gave
us
two
thousand
dollars
to
support
each
of
his
own
councils
and
what
we
will
do
at
the
end
of
the
year
is
give
you
a
report
on
how
that
money
was
spent
and
reasons
why
we
need
to
continue
to
include
that
money
in
the
budget
year
after
year,
disruptive
properties
has
been
vacant.
For
some
time
we
did
hire
a
new
coordinator.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
a
target
population
that
we're
going
after,
and
our
hopes
is
that
they
can
adopt
some
of
this
information
in
their
lease
or
at
least
provide
it
to
their
tenants
when
they're
providing
leases
so
that
they
can
read
it
over
and
understand
what
those
expectations
are.
So
we
will
continue
to
work
on
that
throughout
the
year
in
nighttime
economy,
we
have
been
well
received
by
businesses,
bars
and
entertainment
venues
they've
come
to
us
for
different
trainings.
E
People
are
building
businesses,
bars,
entertainment
venues
below
residential
properties
and
so
having
the
tenants
understand
what
the
the
culture
of
the
area
that
they're
moving
into
and
then
also
the
property
owners
to
help
them
with
designing
places
of
business
that
are
so
basically
krumbine
betterment
environmental
design
so
that
they
are
designing
their
businesses
in
a
way
that
deter
crime.
So
they've
been
partnering
with
our
members
of
the
nighttime
economy
office
to
make
sure
that
that
is
happening
and
that
is
being
well
received.
E
G
Thank
you
director
good
morning,
2020
will
be
the
final
year
of
a
three-year
capital
investment
into
the
city's
public
safety,
security
and
camera
network.
In
the
past
two
years,
significant
improvements
and
upgrades
have
been
made
to
this
network.
We
have
we
began
two
years
ago
with
226
street
level
security
cameras
I'm
at
that
point.
Most
of
them
were
outside
of
their
warranty
period
and
have
reached
end-of-life
with
the
funding
that
has
been
made
possible
through
this
project.
G
G
This
network
has
aided
the
Police
Bureau
in
solving
many
crimes,
services
the
deterrent
for
illegal
activity,
and
it
also
accompanies
the
18
square
miles
of
ShotSpotter
on
the
OU
that
we
have
deployed
throughout
the
city.
Also
this
week,
as
the
director
had
mentioned,
you
know
we
took
delivery
of
the
FLIR
sky
watch
mobile
observation
platform.
This
technology
was
first
introduced
through
special
events
on
the
North
Shore.
It
was
found
very
advantageous
to
our
operations.
G
You
know
tomorrow
at
light
up
night,
we'll
kick
that
off
as
the
first
deployment
it'll
give
the
officers
a
360-degree
view
over
an
incident,
nearly
two
stories
in
the
in
the
air
to
quickly
direct
ground
units
to
those
incidents
as
we
enter
2020
the
tools
that
were
funded
through
these
projects,
as
well
as
the
staffing
and
the
police's
real-time
crime.
Center
that
you'll
hear
about
later
will
bring
many
advantages
to
the
department.
Each
year
we
try
to
outdo
the
previous
as
we
learn
from
the
past
and
implement
new
technologies
and
strategies.
Thank
you.
B
B
E
I
wish
Dana
was
here
to
express
how
overwhelming
it
is
I'm.
Just
reviewing
police
reports
doing
outreach
the
follow-up
managing
a
database.
It's
a
it's
a
lot
for
one
person,
but
we
were
making
it
work
and
then
also
to
assisting
with
all
of
the
follow-up
from
October
27th
from
a
tree
of
life.
We've
been
very
much
involved
with
resiliency
planning,
and
so
we
participate
and
attend
in
those
meetings.
Every
week
the
resiliency
Center
will
be
up
and
running
pretty
soon
at
the
JCC.
B
Thank
you.
I
asked
because
I
think
that
position
is
critical
and
the
importance
of
it
I
think
there
should
be
probably
more
than
one
person
doing
it.
So
what
I
would
ask
is,
if
you
can
send
over
a
recommendation,
for
what
a
second
position
would
look
like
and/or
what
classification
and
then
we
can
look
to
see
if
we
can
add
that
there's
budget.
Thank
you,
sir.
E
E
Maybe
we
were
overly
ambitious
when
we
put
this
out,
but
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
just
do
a
competency
training
on
the
cultures
that
we
have
represented
here
in
the
Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
region
that
our
first
responders
that
would
come
in
contact
with
there
are
a
lot
of
cultural
norms
that
we're
just
not
aware
of
so
then,
when
we
go
to
respond,
it
may
create
an
issue
and
it's
not
because
our
first
responders
don't
care.
They
lack
compassion.
It's
just
that
they're
not.
B
E
You
know
those
cultural
norms,
so
we
feel
like
providing
them
with
the
tools
and
the
resources
to
do
their
job,
to
the
best
of
their
abilities
was
something
that
the
multi
cultural
liaison
unit
was
dedicated
to
doing.
We
also
wanted
to
have
a
reference
guide
that
we
could
leave
at
all
of
our
public
safety
buildings
so
that
you
can
just
get
familiar
with
the
populations
of
demographics
that
are
represented
in
those
communities.
So
if
you
know
that
you
have
a
call
and
you're
going
somewhere,
you
can
always
reference
back
to
the
zone.
E
If
you
need
it,
some
quick
tips
or
need
at
something
to
understand.
We
wanted
to
implement
this
as
a
trainer,
training,
the
trainer
style
and
the
training
academy
as
well.
So
we
would
own
the
training.
We
could
update
the
training.
We
could
change
the
training.
We
did
not
have
to
go
back
to
the
original
person
who
provided
the
training
or
the
original
company
that
provided
the
training.
If
we
wanted
any
updates,
so
we
asked
for
a
lot
not
knowing
how
much
it
was
going
to
cause,
but
now
that
we
have
a
better
understanding.
E
B
D
And
I
I
have
to
compliment
chief
Schubert
I
mean
he
brought
a
a
plan
to
the
table
with
the
civil
affairs
team
that
he
is.
He
observed
in
other
cities
and
has
been
replicated
in
in
Pittsburgh
and
I'll.
Allow
him
to
explain
that
when
he
comes
here,
but
I
mean
that
team
has
been
very
successful
and
basically
preventing
any
type
of
violence
during
a
protest
and
a.
D
E
Add
a
little
bit
to
that
just
for
context.
The
civil
affairs
team
is
pretty
amazing
in
areas
in
which
demonstrators
would
be
hesitant
to
communicate
with
the
police
officer
during
such
incidents,
they're
welcoming
of
the
civil
affairs
team,
they
call
them,
they
have
their
cell
phone
numbers,
sometimes
they'll.
Let
them
know
that
things
are
happening
before
they
even
happen,
and
so
you
know,
with
the
support
of
the
end
of
the
director
and
after
Schubert
I,
think
it's
been
a
wonderful
addition
to
the
Bureau
and
the
community
has
received
the
civil
affairs
team
very
well.
B
Thank
you
with
that
being
said.
I
do
want
to
put
one
concern
on
the
table,
which
is
simply
our
public
informations
officer
being
a
little
more
commutative,
especially
with
council
colleagues.
So
as
an
example
with
the
the
gas
station
incident
commander,
Raglan
was
very
responsive,
and
so,
in
my
own
ignorance,
I
had
a
lot
of
questions
about.
Why
are
these
were
arrest
warrant
me
made?
Why
was
happening
with
etc,
etc,
and
he
was
he
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
the
phone.
B
Educating
me
towards
the
process,
but
I
think
it
also
would
be
helpful
when
we
have
major
incidents
in
the
city.
If
our
public
informations
officer
were
a
little
more
Ricker
responsive
reaching
out
to
colleagues
with
the
information
so
that
we
can
appropriately
disseminate
it
out
into
the
community
as
well,
that
was
that
is
it
for
me.
Councilman.
A
H
H
Would
the
police
come
up?
I'll
just
have
to
give
him
another
gold
star,
because
he's
he's
a
good
person
matter
of
fact,
I.
Think
of
that
how
good
commanders
this
is
my
14th
commander
that
I've
worked
with
so
and
if
you
notice,
as
you
were,
reading
your
paper
most
everything
starts
on
the
north
side.
H
Have
the
ShotSpotter
brought
brought
in
because
of
the
hills
and
valleys,
and
that
was
really
tough
for
them
to,
but
they
did
they
put
it
in
great
areas
and
I
even
helped.
Add
more
cameras
to
that
in
my
district
and
I,
just
have
to
say
say
thanks
to
you
especially
gosh,
like
you
know,
your
first
name.
H
I'm,
sorry,
dear,
it's
just
too
many
faces,
I
remember
right
off
the
bad
name,
some
pretty
horrible
with,
but
thank
you
for
working
with
me
in
the
community,
because
the
community
actually
felt
that
the
Public
Safety
Department
would
know
better
exactly
where
to
put
those
cameras
due
to
what's
happening
in
those
areas,
and
they
have
worked
out
well
and
I
hope
for
more
cameras.
I
know
in
a
Northside
we
have
cameras.
We
gave
the
neighborhoods
and
they're
utilized
to,
but
I
think
ShotSpotter
has
really
done
the
job
and
I'm
I'm.
A
H
H
A
D
H
H
H
We
had
a
lawsuit
that
cost
the
city
over
a
million
dollars
and
what
is
to
be
paid
out
of
that
now
that
the
city
takes
all
the
money,
the
officers
that
surely
are
paid
out
of
it.
If
they
tear
any
clothes,
if
they
need
extra
coats
or
something
happens
to
a
car,
they
need
a
vehicle
that
she's
just
for
secondary
employment,
but
that
number
just
looks
low.
And
can
we
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit?
H
D
H
G
D
H
C
Just
on
page
329
in
the
city's
operating
budget,
you'll
see
the
the
trust
fund
detailed,
including
the
creation,
the
trust
fund
and
such,
but
you
also
see
the
flow
of
funds.
Yes,
it
actually,
the
secondary
employment
reimbursement
is
down
1.7
million
dollars
over
last
year
that
specific
detail
line.
Now
it's
detailed
out
to
show
what
the
city
receives,
which
would
be
that
secondary
employment
fee
where.
A
H
A
C
So
if
you
see
for
2019,
there
was
ten
million
nine
hundred
and
seven
thousand
dollars
in
the
there
is
a
secondary
employment
fee
of
$750,000,
five
thousand
dollar
equipment
usage
and
seventy
eight
thousand
dollar
vehicle
usage
fee.
The
total
reimbursement
for
2019
was
ten
million.
Seventy
four
thousand
dollars
for
police
officers
for
next.

this

up
to

functional

through
the
help
of
Public
Works
keeping
the
storm
drains
clear,
as
we
have
not
had
any
significant
flooding
there,
but
we
will
be,
like
I,
say,
running
a
test
again
to
make
sure
everything's
working
once
that
the
sensor
is
repaired,
it
seems
that
these
sensors
and
the
gates
seem
to
have
magnets
for
cars.
They
seem
to
keep
running
into
our
infrastructure
there.

for

that

include

C
Excuse
me:
employment

decreased
by

That's
a
decrease
of
three
percent
from
twenty
nineteen,
but
still
an
increase
of
eighteen
percent.
Since
the
2018
budget,
emergency
medical
services
has
some
capital
line,
that
is,
the
in
the
equipment
leasing
authority,
which
oversees
the
purchase
of

and
other
EMS

C
Total

is

trust
fund.
The
current
balance
is
seventy
eight
thousand
dollars
and
if
I
just
take
a
one.
C
Second,
there
is
a
note
of
concern
that
I
saw
between
the
budget
and
the
current
numbers,
and
that
is
in
the
area
of
premium
pay.
The
Office
of
Management
and
budgets.
Third
quarter
report
projects
a
five
point:
five
million
dollar
year
and
in
premium
pay
and
over
time
that's
two
point:
seven
million
dollars
over
the
current
current
budgeted
amount.
So
there
would
be
a
question
of
whether
staffing
the
current
contract
and
how
that
works
out.
C
A
C
J
Want
to
thank
all
the
EMS
personnel
that
are
now
on
the
streets
every
day
and
providing
for
the
second
injured
is
always
something
that
I
always
say
say
to
them.
At
the
end
of
our
October,
Pittsburgh
EMS
was
presented
with
the
2019,
cares
award
and
recognition
for
dedication
to
quality
improvement
of
care
for
out
of
hospital,
cardiac
arrest
by
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Health,
which
is
a
great
honor.
A
J
C
J
J
D
I
may
also
I,
prior
to
last
or
this
year.
I
very
few
individuals
wanted
to
be
a
paramedic
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
The
schedule
changed
12-hour
shifts
basically
allowing
them
more
days
off,
even
though
they're
working
more
hours
and
the
pay
significant
pay
raise.
We
now
have
people
that
want
to
come.
D
Become
paramedics
within
the
city
and
I
have
to
compliment
the
chief
and
his
staff
for
the
recruiting
drive
that
they've
done
over
the
year
I
mean
we
actually
have
more
people
than
there
are
positions
for
in
the
city
and
I
I
won't
say
they
don't
hold
me
to
this,
but
I
think
being
at
full
staffing
or
a
little
bit
more
will
alleviate
a
lot
of
that
premium
pay
in
the
upcoming
year.
Thank.
C
B
B
So
I'm
briefed
can
one
congratulations
on
the
work
you've
done
over
the
last
year
to
get
the
bodies
that
are
necessary.
You
all
do
a
phenomenal
job.
I
think
you
are
tops
in
the
country
in
terms
of
the
services
you
provide
and
I
think
we're
all
very
proud
of
our
EMS
department.
So
thank
you
both
for
what
you've
done.
Is
there
anything
that
you
believe
is
critical
to
the
budget
that
is
not
already
in
here.
No.
A
J
H
I
just
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
all
you
do
I,
guess
you
don't
realize
until
you
need
the
paramedics,
I
actually
need
the
paramedics
and
I've
needed
you
quite
a
few
times
over
the
years
and
I
couldn't
ask
for
better
people
between
you
and
the
fire
coming
in
to
house.
You
really
have
done
a
lot,
and
people
have
to
really
see
you
in
action.
In
our
firefighters,
I
mean
Chicago.
Med
just
doesn't
do
that
or
Chicago
far
compared.

change
in

so
I'm
giving
you
the

That's

I
also
noticed,
there's
a
slight
increase
in
the
in
our
fee
book
that
we
got
regarding
the
the
cost
of
those
reports
and
with
that
that'll
be
it
and
just
a
comment
on
the
chief.
C
B
K
Wanted
on
behalf
of
Pittsburgh
Bureau
police,
thank
you
for
the
outstanding
support
that
we
get
through
counsel
throughout
the
year
anytime.
We
need
something
you're
very
receptive
to
to
help
us
to
help
keep
Pittsburgh
safer
in
the
mayor's
office
and
really
to
what
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
to
the
officers
who
were
out
in
the
field
each
and
every
day
who
were
keeping
Pittsburgh
safe.
K
We
were
working
with
the
community
to
make
the
city
safer
and
a
better
place
to
live,
and
that's
the
officers
detectives
supervisors
in
our
civilian
staff
who
were
behind
the
scenes,
keeping
us
going.
So
we
can
do
what
we
do
out
in
the
field.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
that
we
also
have
Lise
Schmitt
with
us
from
our.
K
But
just
kind
of
to
go
into
our
mandates
that
continue
each
year
and
our
main
mandate
is
to
reduce
violent
crime.
We
have
gvi,
we
have
the
outreach
workers.
We
have
our
violence,
violent
crime
response
protocol
that
each
of
the
zones
do,
and
so
far
this
year
we're
at
33
homicides,
which
is
a
39
percent
decrease
from
2018
or
non-fatal
shootings
are
up
slightly,
but
over
a
period
of
time
with
GBI.
We
still
see
a
decrease
in
that,
so
we're
very
we're
happy
with.
K
What's
how
we're
handling
it
and
we're
doing
it,
but,
as
we
always
say,
obviously,
one
fatality
one
shooting
is
one
too
many.
So
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
work
better
to
work
smarter,
using
technology
using
our
community
engagement
and
everything
to
work
together
as
a
team
to
help
reduce
that
another
area
of
our
community
engagement
or
mandates.
Is
our
community
engagement
a
lot
of
things
that
we
do
out
in
each
of
the
zones
through
headquarters
through
investigations
being
out
there
partnering,
not
just
meetings
but
putting
things
together
ourselves?
K
We
just
finished
a
partnership
in
the
north
side
with
cops
and
hoops
where
we
brought
officers
in
to
talk
about
what
they
do
and
ended
up
doing
the
basketball
game
two
weeks
ago,
and
then
we
had
a
small
banquet
last
week
and
to
see
the
interaction
means
a
lot
helping
to
build
that
that
trust
within
the
community
and
for
me
it's
always
about
two
future
recruitment
to
within
Pittsburgh
police
or
Public
Safety
within
the
community
engagement.
One
thing
that
we're
really
striving
to
do.
K
We
put
sergeant
Tiffany
Klein
Kosta
as
a
position
where
she's
full-time
working
out
of
our
office
axis
over
at
the
academy,
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
consistent
in
every
zone
and
everything
we
do
in
officers
that
are
working
as
a
CRO
is
NRO's
and
to
include
officers
on
a
on
a
street
and
then
the
recruits
coming
out.
So
they
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do
that.
It's
not
a
program,
it's
a
philosophy
of
who
we
are
with
in
Pittsburgh
police.
K
The
director
mentioned
before
about
the
civil
affairs
team.
That's
been
very
successful
for
us.
We
have
a
couple
supervisors
which
Tiffany
client
costs
and
Sergeant
Mitchell
where
to
lead
it
and
inners
other
officers
who
have
been
just
fantastic
out
there
talking
getting
to
know
people
talking
before
things
happen
being
there
when
events
are
occurring
talking
with
the
people
and
trying
to
keep
thing
and
deescalate
things
from
occurring
and
they've
been
very
successful.
K
So
we
are,
it
was
kind
of
an
ad-hoc
team
that
we
put
together
they're
in
the
process
of
making
it
a
full-time
squad
unit
with
officers
that
work
other
duties,
but
when
we
need
them
for
this,
that
they
can,
they
can
do
it.
So
we're
very
proud
of.
What's
going
on
with
with
that,
another
thing
of
our
mandates
is
the
technology
and
you've
heard
a
lot
through
the
director
on
the
shot
spotter
and
the
the
camera
systems
around
the
the
city,
which
have
been
an
incredible
toll
for
for
Public
Safety.
K
On
another
level,
we
have
the
body-worn
camera
and
tasers,
which
we
were
here
before
that's
going
to
provide
a
lot
of
value
for
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
we
did
implement
a
real-time
crime,
Center
we're
building
it.
We
have
officers
that
are
working
it
on
the
the
a.m.
shift
and
when
special
events
occur
and
they're,
also
working
on
the
Friday
and
Saturday
evenings
with
to
monitor.
K
Another
thing
is
our
officer
wellness,
because,
obviously
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
taking
care
of
our
officers.
We
want
them
to
make
sure
that
they're
well
before
they
go
out
on
a
street,
we're
all
human.
We
all
have
problems,
and
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
resources
for
them
our
P
map,
our
peer
support
team
has
done
a
great
job
as
well.
We
have
an
officer
wellness
coordinator
and
that's
a
knock
on
wood.
K
We've
been
very
thankful
that
we
haven't
seen
any
police
involved
suicides,
but
I
can
think
of
probably
about
12
to
14
mi
27
years
of
Pittsburgh
police
officers
who
have
committed
suicide
you're,
seeing
it
very
prevalent
right
now
in
New,
York
City
there's
a
number
of
officers
that
have
committed
suicide
this
year
and
it's
something
that
we
need
to
mean
stay
on
top
of
and
provide
all
the
help
resources.
And
let
our
officers
know
that
it's
it's
okay,
not
to
be
okay.
K
We
have
a
very
stressful
job,
a
very
dangerous
job
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
healthy.
So
that's
one
of
our
mandates
and
then
obviously
recruitment
is
as
another
one
of
our
mandates,
particularly
minority
recruitments,
and
it's
not
been
easy
and
recruitment.
In
this
field.
Across
the
country
trying
to
hire
police
officers,
the
recruitment
level
has
gone
down
dramatically
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
but
we
continue
to
do
everything
we
can
to
promote
all
the
good
things
that
you
can
do
within
Pittsburgh
police.
K
All
the
opportunities
that
you
have
within
Pittsburgh
police
for
advancement
and
you
know
being
the
change
you
want
to
see
in
policing.
So
those
are
those
are
sort
of
our
mandates
on
that.
Obviously,
the
the
level
of
training
we
provide
far
exceeds
what
other
places
in
Pennsylvania
one
require
or
offer.
K
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
officers
equipped
trained
to
handle
any
situation
in
a
professional
manner
and
to
keep
them
safe
and
so
what
a
normal
class-
maybe
you
know
several
several
months
through
Moe
Peck
through
the
state
mandated
training,
we
add
on
several
several
more
months
of
training
with
the
patrol
rifle
with
the
tasers
with
the
body
warm
camera.
With
the
escalation
I
mean
the
list
goes
on.
K
The
great
thing
is
we
provide
it,
so
they
can
do
their
job
in
the
field.
The
bad
thing
is,
other
departments
want
that,
so
they
they
heavily
recruit
our
officers
for
that
to
come
unto
their
department,
but
we
have
a
great
department
we're
doing
a
lot
of
great
things.
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
want
to
do
in
2019
to
keep
that
momentum
going
and
in
I
just
see
better
things
happening
for
the
department
and
better
things
happening
for
the
for
the
city.
B
I
also
want
to
commend
you
on
the
39
percent
decrease
in
homicides
that
we've
seen
in
our
city.
It
gets
the
combination
of
a
lot
of
things.
I
think
gvi
plays
a
significant
role,
I
think
the
community
oriented
policing
the
civil
affairs
I
think
all
of
that
equals
out
to
what
we're
what
we're
seeing
ShotSpotter
all
of
those
sort
of
combine
and
make
it
so
again.
Thank
you
for
the
for
that.
Working
for
that
effort
in.
K
D
I
may
also
the
police
officers
I
mean
they're
arriving,
it
seems
they're
using
trauma,
dressings
they're,
using
tourniquets
and
basically
saving
lives
has
never
happened
before
so
I
mean
the
police
officers,
and
you
know
soon:
they'll
have
AED,
so
I
mean
having
having
that
capability
within
a
few
minutes
of
the
shooting.
I
mean
has
brought
that
rate
down
as
well.
B
That's
for
the
recruiting,
understand
the
challenge
and
I
think
I
think
part
of
what
we're
sitting
now
with
all
you.
All's
efforts
will
really
come
to
fruition
sort
of
in
the
next
generation.
I
think
so
that
it's
gonna
be
hard
to
get
the
20-something
year
old,
recruit
now,
but
the
work
you're
done
with
the
children
in
the
schools
community
plan.
A
B
B
B
K
F
Probably
the
biggest
issue
we're
having
is
clerical
specialists,
which
is
our
most
entry-level
position
because
of
being
the
police
bureau,
we
have
additional
background
checks,
drug
testing,
criminal
background
checks
that
have
to
pass.
It
lowers
at
the
candidate
pool
more
than
is
in
that
position
pays
right
around
thirty
thousand
a
year
so
but.
F
B
G
B
B
K
A
B
B
H
D
K
D
H
K
There's
there's
people
down
there,
but
it's
it's
gonna
increase
in
2020.
The
ultimate
goal
was
to
have
consistency
down
there
with
the
same
officer
is
the
same
supervisor
who
they
know
the
community.
They
know
the
businesses,
they
know
who's
the
homeless
population.
So
that's
that's
where
we're
geared
to
go.
Okay,.
K
F
H
K
I
can
tell
you,
there's
we've
brought
back
officers
from
other
departments
who
have
left
us
who
have
gone
and
the
grass
isn't
always
greener.
On
the
other
side,
there's
so
many
opportunities
that
Pittsburgh
police
provides
through
all
the
different
specialty
units
through
the
investigative
squads
teaching
at
the
academy
community
engagement
patrol
supervisory
opportunities
that
they
just
don't
get
any
other
side
and
the
amount
of
calls
we
go
to
compared
to
some
of
the
other
places.
The
experience
that
they
get
from
other
place
from.
K
H
K
No
I
mean
III
I,
don't
think
any
municipality
could
truly
pay
an
officer
for
what
they
do
day
in
and
day
out
for
their
selfless
service
and
putting
their
lives
on
the
line.
I,
don't
think
any
department
could
do
because
I
think
probably
$300,000
a
year,
but
we
do
understand
that
there's,
there's
budgets.
K
Our
job
is
to
try
to
keep
them
happy,
while
they're
here
provide
them
with
the
level
of
training
to
keep
them
safe.
The
little
resources
to
keep
them
safe,
I,
don't
think
you
can
go
anywhere
outside
of
our
department
and
in
this
area
and
find
what
we
have
the
opportunity
we
have
and
there's
one
right
there
that
left
in
and
came
back
and
he's
been
an
asset
to
us.
Here
we
had
three
go
to
Bethel
Park
and
all
three
came
back.
We.
H
K
H
K
H
K
K
C
I
just
may
make
a
quick
comment
because
they
worry
about
costs
all
the
time.
Okay,
but
yeah
you're,
absolutely
right!
There's
there's
no
amount
of
money.
That
really
is
satisfactory
in
that
respect,
but
when
we
start
comparing
with
other
municipalities,
I
think
the
Chiefs
got
a
a
good
point
in
the
opportunity
here
and
it's
not
always
about
money,
but
sometimes
it
is
as
well.
There's
also
the
opportunity
to
work
overtime
with
our
secondary
employment.
You
don't
get
secondary
employment
opportunities
in
the
suburbs
that
you
would
hear.
C
Additionally,
our
benefits
are
much
better
than
what
a
lot
of
the
other
departments
play,
specifically
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
serve
for
20
years
and
retire
at
age
50.
None
of
the
other
municipalities
allow
that
to
happen.
So
that's
55
pretty
much
throughout
the
state,
with
the
exception
of
a
couple
of
the
cities.
H
H
I
mean
look
how
fast
we
lost
the
three
officers
over
in
I,
always
think
of
over
over
in
Staunton
Heights,
just
over
a
domestic,
so
I
I
think
it's
very
unfair
that
they're
the
lowest
paid
officers
an
Allegheny
County,
and
it's
not
right
and
we
do
lose
officers.
I
mean
they
go
back
to
the
suburbs
in
our
officers
didn't
retire
in
age,
50
and
just
say:
with
her
pension
I
mean:
yes,
they
get
a
pension,
but
they
don't
get
social
security
and
I.
Don't
think
people
realize
that
either
so
I.
H
A
H
H
H
Well,
we
finally
got
one
to
a
very
serious
corner
down
on
woodland
and
Shadeland
by
we
had
one
of
the
traffic
cops
go
down
there
and
all
they
have
to
do
is
see
the
traffic
company.
Don't
turn
you
know,
they're
not
supposed
to
turn
on
red,
so
kids
are
crossing
the
street
there.
It
was
it's
a
dangerous
intersection
and
we're.

You
I
just
first
of
all,
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
stuff
that
your
officers
do
and
the
Public
Safety
Department
that
they
do,
but
between
from
delivering
coats
to
the
community
I
mean
in
terms
of
social
services
and
delivering
coach
to
the
community.
This
week
we
had
officers
I
think
they
had
16
officers
helping
to
deliver.
Yes,.
K
F
M
Families
with
feed
the
children
was
the
only
place
in
Pennsylvania
that
they
came
in
our
officers,
moved
400
families
in
and
out
within
two
hours
and
I
mean
that
was
amazing.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
that.
Thank
the
firefighters
from
the
coach,
I
think
SIF
medics
for
the
work
that
they
do
in
teaching,
people
the
CPR
classes
and
some
other
they
do
they're
just
there
for
everything.
All
three
are
always
there
for
everything
in
our
community.
Someone.
M
Thank
you
for
all
that
I
do
want
to
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
Thaddeus
Stevens
building
for
the
special
deployment
division
and
I
see
it's
two
million
dollars
in
bond
funds,
as
well
as
the
1
million
1.1
million
from
senator
Fontana.
He
helped
us
get
that
in
the
state
level.
I
believe
is
that
correct?
Okay,
so
it's
my
understanding.
I
know
the
senator
Fontana
got
a
cigarette,
so
I
wanna.
Thank
him
for
that
that
funds,
those
funds
as
well.
D
Has
been
some
problems
that
have
come
up
with
the
infrastructure
that
has
slowed
things
down,
I
mean
they.
You
solve
one
problem.
Another
problem
comes
up,
apparently
there's
transformers
in
there
that
have
to
be
removed.
So
that's
going
to
take
some
additional
weeks
to
do
that.
So
I
I,
don't
want
a
estimate.
I
mean
it
is
moving
forward.
He's.
D
M
I
M
M
M
Ask
that
later
today,
or
during
the
facility
meeting
yeah
I'll,
ask
all
that,
but
I
think
that
that's
really
just
it
but
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
I
think
that
you
know.
I've
always
said
that
chief
Schubert
is
an
amazing
chief
and
we're
so
happy
to
the
sofa
so
fortunate
haven't.
But
I
do
have
a
concern
about
the
numbers
in
zone.
6
I
know
that
we've
we've
replaced
seven
officers.
M
We
have
a
seven
additional
officers,
but
we
also
lost
eleven,
so
we're
still
at
a
minus
and
so
I
want
to
know
what
the
plans
are
for
that
because,
as
we're
talking
about
open
subdivisions
and
other
places,
I
want
to
make
sure
Joan.
Six
is
well
staffed
as
other
places.
So
could
you
tell
me
how
you're
going
to
work
on
that
yeah.
K
M
M
They
had
seven
replaced,
but
eleven
retired,
so
they
are
short.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
those
folks
are
at
least
filled
in
and
if
more
as
possible.
If
we,
if
need
be-
and
that's
that's
pretty
much
it
because
I
think
the
new
Councilwoman
here
is
probably
everything
else
and
I'll
watch
it
later
so,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
all
your
department.
I
mean
the
bureau.
You
do
a
great
job
director
and
I
know.
I,
give
you
a
hard
time
sometimes
but
you're
doing
a
great
job
with
an
awesome
team.

C
D
D
F
M
M
N
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
and
I
know:
chief
Jones
does
I
know
that
chief
Jones
worked
really
hard
on
getting
us
grants
and
opportunities,
and
especially
the
smoke
detector
for
the
hearing.
Impaired
grant
working
with
everybody
involved
was
very
good
and
we're
getting
a
lot
of
calls
and
emails
from
residents.
That
saying
this
is
great.
N
They
include
vibrating,
pillows
and
light
lighted,
smoke
detectors
and
things
like
that
and
our
fire
prevention
firefighter
ELISA
apps
is
working
diligently
with
chief
Jones
on
that
project
and
that's
where
we
are
and
I
have
a
lot
of
bullets
here,
I
shared
with
the
director
I.
You
have
a
lot
of
information
in
front
of
you
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
M
So
I,
really
don't
have
any
questions.
I
just
want
to
I
would
simply
make
a
comment
that
I
sent
an
email
a
while
ago
that
we
had
some
daycares,
including
the
one
where
my
granddaughter
goes
attends
in
the
West
End,
who
were
having
some
concerns
about
something
that
they
had
received.
I
think
I
made
a
copy
due
on
this
email,
but
the
concerns
that
they
were
told
that
they
have
to
get
those
pulldown
alarms
for.
M
M
A
M
Where
five
people
had
passed
away
and
I
at
the
time,
I
send
something
to
the
chief
asking
and
I
think
Ralph
succour,
I
think
I
copied
him.
I
can't
remember,
and
you
asking
about
what
our
process
was
here
and
and
what
do
we
do?
Do
we
inspect
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
they're
inspecting
and
how,
after
those
inspections,
occur
once.
M
E
G
B
D
C
B
B
H
F
L
H
L
I
just
want
to
thank
both
the
Public
Safety
Director,
as
well
as
our
chief
for
getting
our
alerting
system.
It's
not
finished
fully
up
and
working
yet,
but
the
money
that
was
invested
into
our
system,
we're
appreciative
of
that
and
we
look
forward
to
the
bugs
on
the
county
side
to
be
it
worked
out,
so
we
can
get
it
turned
on
and
I
think
it's
will
be
an
improvement
for
our
responses
to
the
citizens
bugs
on.
D
As
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
there's
some
software
updates
that
need
to
be
done
in
the
county
with
the
911
Center.
It
should
be
done
in
the
next
couple
weeks.
As
my
understanding,
so
once
that's
done,
then
we
will
start
bringing
bringing
the
stations
online
slowly
to
make
sure
that
the
system
is
working.
Okay,.
H
H
H
H
H
D
Ladders,
they
received
three
new
engines
yesterday
and
the
eoa,
which
I
believe
is
coming
to
the
table.
The
recommendation
is
mr.
Vanek
said,
is
seven
new
engines
for
next
year,
two
foam
tenders
and
two
aerial
trucks
and
the
conditions
of
the
trucks.
Hopefully
that'll
alleviate
some
of
the
concern
on
some
of
the
existing
vehicles
that
we
have.
Okay,.
H
H
N
N
H
Hope
it's
more
than
one,
because
there
will
be
four
fires
lit
and
they're,
not
too
close
to
each
other
work.
They
could
just
run
down
till
the
next
one.
So
I'm
hoping
we
have
at
least
four
firefighters
staff
there
and
that's.
I
thought
it
was
only
gonna
be
one
day,
but
it's
two
days
now
twenty-third
and
twenty-fourth,
but.
C
The
mission
of
the
Bureau
of
Animal,
Care
and
Control
is
to
serve
the
residents
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
by
providing
care,
control,
education
and
resolutions
to
situations
dealing
with
domestic
animals
and
wildlife.
The
2020
budget
highlights
the
total
budget,
1
million
seven
hundred
and
three
thousand
dollars
an
increase
of
sixteen
thousand
dollars
or
one
percent
total
full-time
positions
are
sixteen
salary
and
position
changes
of
note,
a
part-time
animal
controller
increase
to
a
full-time
position.
That's
an
increase
of
twelve
thousand
dollars,
plus
benefits.
C
H
C
B
O
This
a
couple
things
one
is
as
far
as
a
new
truck
for
next
year.
That
would
be
a
new
daddy
animal
truck
to
replace
the
other
one
and
then
I
do
have
a
new
live
animal
truck,
that's
being
delivered
still
this
year.
That
will
really
help
us,
because
in
the
past,
when
one
or
two
trucks
were
down
for
various
things,
inspections,
repairs
or
whatever
we
were
stuck
with
using
a
very
old
pickup
truck,
and
so
now
I'll
actually
have
six
live
animal
truck.
D
O
Have
live
traps
available?
What
we
do
is
during
this
summer,
we
average
between
20
and
40
requests
per
day
for
live
traps
some
days
more,
but
on
the
average,
but
most
people
that
want
traps
except
for
work,
maybe
work
groundhogs.
The
concern
simply
want
them,
because
they
don't
want
any
wild
animals
on
their
property
and
we
don't
give
out
traps
for
that.
We
give
out
traps
when
groundhogs
are
causing
structural
damage
and
or
are
digging
their
underground
cables,
or
something
like
that.
O
So
we
do
provide
that
there
are
several
environmental
studies
that
have
proven
that
live
trapping
produces
a
temporary
effect
only
because
it
creates
a
vacuum
in
the
environment
that
the
wildlife
will
fill,
and
sometimes
people
have
called
us
and
told
us
well.
I
just
got
rid
of
three
groundhogs,
but
now
I
have
all
these
other
animals
in
my
yard.
That's
because
the
groundhogs,
even
though
there
predatory
they're
vegetarians,
they
will
protect
their
territory
and
if
they're
not
there,
to
do
so.
Other
animals
will
move
in.
That's
a
that's
a
fact
how.
B
O
Speaking
by
stairs
it's
speaking
by
sidewalk,
if
they're
down
by
my
foundation,
they're
underneath
my
garage
or
shed
porch
or
something
like
that,
groundhogs
can
do
a
lot
of
damage.
We
know
that
we
do
provide
traps
in
those
situations.
Unfortunately,
I
do
not
have
enough
traps
and
certainly
not
enough
staff
to
get
all
the
animals
out
of
the
traps.
If
I
increase
the
level
of
traps
that
I
have
for
Grad
hogs
that
are
eating
gardens,
there
are
ways
to
build
gardens
to
prevent
groundhogs
from
getting
there
and.
A
O
I,
don't
really
feel
that
as
a
need,
I,
don't
feel
it
as
a
need
if
people
see
groundhogs
running
through
their
yard,
they're
not
causing
any
structural
damage,
they're,
not
even
burrowing
in
their
yard
but
they're
trying
to
hopefully
forestall
something
that
might
happen,
but
it
normally
won't.
Also,
there
are
many
many
ways
to
protect
and
keep
raccoons
out
of
garbage
cans.
We've
educated
as
much
as
we
can.
People
have
told
us
residents,
@potus
called
back
and
we're
very
appreciative
that
the
options
we
gave
them
worked
and
they
no
longer
have
the
problem.
O
D
Other
problem
is,
if
we
do
put
several
hundred
traps
out
there
and
we
don't
pick
those
traps
up.
I
mean
it's
having
live
animals
in
the
traps.
It
is
number
one
illegal
because
they
will
die
because
of
starvation.
So
we
have
to
we're
walking
that
very
fine
line
between
what
is
legal,
what
the
needs
of
the
public
are
and
what
we
can
do
to
support.
It
is
and,
of
course,
now
the
winners
coming.
You
know
trapping
will
go
down
considerably
because
of
the
cold
weather,
and
you
know
we
trap
an
animal.
O
Only
under
extreme
circumstances,
groundhogs
actually
go
into
a
permanent
hibernation
or
two.
If
you
go
from
one
month
to
the
next,
if
you
go
from
like
August,
where
we
probably
got
about
fifty,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
groundhogs
too
now,
where
we
average,
maybe
only
seven
a
month,
they
go
into
a
permanent
hibernation.
Once
the
cold
weather
hits,
they
do
not
come
back
out
so.
G
O
H
B
No,
this
is
a
listen
and
I,
see
a
couple
of
them,
but
is
rather
large,
and
this
now
dug
a
hole
one
behind
my
house
right
by
the
foundation
that
is
deep
and
there's
also
a
retaining
wall
that
I
have,
that
is
digging
a
hole
under
the
retaining
wall
and
some
ice
ice
I
still
see
it.
But
if
you're
saying
it
doesn't
make
any
sense,
then
I'll
call
you
in
the
spring.
Well.
O
Normally,
since
we
don't
really
go
up
into
a
deep
freeze
anymore,
we
have
them
for
a
few
years.
It's
something
where
you
could
still
call
us
when
we
might
be
able
to
provide
a
trap,
besides
them
starving
to
death,
which
does
happen,
unfortunately,
but
that's
normally
that
people
trap
over
the
weekend
and
then
they'll
tell
us
is
because
of
the
weather
if
it
drops
below
32
degrees-
and,
let's
say
it's
ten
o'clock
at
night-
and
you
put
the
trap
out
and
by
midnight.
The
animal
goes
into
that
trap
overnight.
O
If
it's
below
freezing
that
most
likely
that
animal
is
going
to
die
inside
the
trap,
it's
going
to
die
a
horrible
death
freeze
to
death
basically,
but
that
also
is
now
against
state
law.
It's
the
state
quality
neglect
law
includes
the
animals
and
traps
wildlife
included,
and
if
the
animal
dies
inside
the
trap,
under
those
circumstances,
the
resident
could
be
brought
up
on
state
cruelty,
charge
charges
which
can
include
a
$2,500
fine
and
three
days
in
jail.
So
we
will
still
give
out
traps.
It's
just
that
during
wintertime,
there's
hardly
any
time
to
trap
fair.
O
B
My
second
question:
dear
and
I
and
I
noticed
this.
It's
I
know
it's
a
very
complicated
issue,
but
I'm
now
having
more
and
more
parents
calling
with
concerns
over
disease
ticks
things
of
that
nature,
I'm
having
more
and
more
concerns
over
property
damage.
Again,
I'll
speak
for
myself.
I
had
a
retaining
wall
that
a
dear
so
I
I
live
on
a
narrow
street.
B
The
dear
was
in
the
middle
of
the
street
car
comes
there
gets
spooked,
it
runs,
jumps
on
the
retaining
wall,
retaining
wall
collapses
right
and
we're
now
seeing
yeah,
because
the
weight
of
the
deer
and
so
we're.
Seeing
more
and
more
of
that
I'm
now
seeing
there
was
almost
the
accident
where
a
deer
ran
out
into
the
middle
of
Central
Avenue
at
the
corner
of
Center
and
hearing
which.
A
B
Of
the
most
busiest
intersections
and
it
was
doing
school
time,
kids
are
walking
on
the
street.
The
deer
runs
out,
the
kids
get
spooked,
so
we
are
now
coming
on
a
very
serious
problem
with
deer
in
the
middle
of
the
inner
city,
and
at
this
point
they
are
so
accustomed
to
now
being
there
they're,
no
longer
scared
to
the
extent
that
literally
I
now
have
deer
everyday
in
my
yard,.
A
B
O
M
O
Sure,
even
my
first
year
here,
somebody
else
brought
it
up
and
I
understand
that,
because
were
seeing
we're
seeing
I
guess
sometimes
the
end
of
it
or
even
while
it's
happening
I,
my
officers
go
and
scared
they're
out
of
backyards
or
get
them
away
from
porches
or
get
them
away
from
bus
stops
of
school
school
bus
stops.
You
know
they're
seeing
deer
with
that
are
injured,
where
we
have
to
wait,
thankfully,
for
the
police
to
come
over
and.
O
O
Can
actually
run
with
two
broken
legs
and
not
be
you
know
it's
not
that's
not
ideal,
but
when
what
we're
talking
for
the
police
to
come
and
humanely
euthanize
them,
it's,
the
deer
cannot
move
its
so
injured.
It
cannot
move
whatever
is
happened
to
it.
Nine
out
of
ten
times
it's
been
hit
by
a
car.
Okay,.
A
H
O
O
My
officers
will
approach
he'll
get
up
and
take
off
so
then
the
police
are
necessary,
but
if
we
really
can't
move
place,
you're
clogging
and
then
we
send
over
the
dead
animal
truck
as
soon
as
we
can
so
once
they're
done
humanely
euthanizing
the
deer,
then
the
dead
animal
truck
can
remove
it
as
quickly
as
possible.
This
time
of
year,
though,
that's
really
difficult.
This
is
rut
season
for
deer.
That
means
that
they're,
the
males
are
competing
for
mates
and
one
year
since.
O
O
M
In
his
district
and
I'm
not
lying
the
one
day,
I
was
leaving
her
house
and
I
saw
a
possum
or
something
jumping
up
on
her
wall.
I
mean
I'm
like
so
bully,
walking
down
Fifth
Avenue
on
the
sidewalk
jumping
up
her
well
and
I.
Looked
over
and
I
saw
a
deer.
Her
walk
crossing
over
like
50
I
was
like
I,
couldn't
believe
it
I
mean
I'm.
Thinking
I
mean
it
happens
in
my
area
all
the
time,
but
we're
kind
of
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
woods
and
stuff
around
us.
I
can.
H
G
H
O
M
H
M
O
H
M
H
We
pay
them
when
people
call
for
an
animal.
That's
why
I
started
the
very
first
in
the
United,
States,
pain-free,
free,
spay
and
neuter
program,
and
we
have
decreased
by
I,
mean
I.
Know:
we've
decreased
by
a
lot
because
we're
paying
something
like
well.
We
first
started.
It
was
like
two
hundred
and
ninety
seven
dollars
to
take
one
animal,
and
if
you
took
a
mom
with
five
kittens,
you
were
paying
for
those
keeping.
O
O
H
O
H
H
In
that
is
where
we
have
worked
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
a
partnership-
yes,
ARL
and
humane
society
would
also
take
it
animals
right,
you
would
take
about
the
ARL
yes,
but
when
I
started,
hearing
complaints
about
having
to
pick
up
an
animal
at
the
door
of
ARL
or
the
Humane
Society,
so
that
they
could
get
paid
for
that
animal
instead
of
just
humanely
for
their
job
is
to
take
that
animal
in
it's.
It's
ridiculous!
Well,.
O
Especially
on
like
weekends
and
stuff,
like
that,
when
I
only
have
one
truck
which
you're
I
think
you're
all
aware
of
hovering
the
entire
city
of
Pittsburgh,
they
could
be
on
the
far
south
side
or
north
side
or
wherever
dealing
with
a
very
imminent
situation,
and
they
get
a
call,
have
to
drive
all
the
way
back
to
the
Hamilton
location
to
take
an
animal
from
somebody
that
is
sitting
in
their
parking
lot.
Yes,
I
agree
with
you
that.
H
H
H
I've
been
in
I,
just
I,
just
think
that
you
know
if
they
want
to
remain
a
non-profit,
they
should
do
and
help
people
out
as
they
always
have
done.
I
mean
what
has
happened
since
they
have
came
together
as
the
humane
animal
rescue.
I
say
right:
yes,
it's
it's
appalling
and
it
should
not
be
happening
and
they
should
want
to
work
with
us.
I.
O
I
H
O
A
M
Bring
up
I
actually
just
got
tagged
in
a
post
that
somebody
had
and
their
dog
got
out.
They
took
it.
They
were
called
around.
They
found
it
at
an
animal
shelter
and
belongs
to
this
shelter
tour
that
they
didn't
have
the
dog
long
story
short.
They
said
they
adopted
the
dog
out.
They
somebody
else's
dog,
ate
dog
they
have
to
she
wants
to
at
the.
O
After
three
days
they
make
they
start
making
decisions
on
whether
during
the
three
days
they
actually
have
the
dog
don't
be
doing.
Medical
checks,
behavior
checks,
everything
else
deciding
if
they're
going
to
place
it
up
for
adoption,
maybe
put
it
into
a
foster
program.
Do
this
that
or
the
other
thing,
but
after
three
days
the
animal,
because
leaders
and
their
are
allowed
to
place
it
where
they,
where
they
can
or
unfortunately
it's
in
some
cases,
humanely
euthanize
the
animal
if
they
feel
unfeasible.
H
A
H
H
O
H
It's
just
like
in
a
summer
or
the
winter,
if
you're,
leaving
your
dog
out
and
weather
and
you're,
not
providing
even
a
dog
house
that
is
made
particularly
for
that
animal
you're
going
to
be
fined
matter
of
fact,
we
had
a
deuce
being
that
that
that
happened
to,
but
any
of
our
Public
Safety
officials
can,
if
you
haven't
been
a
car
any
you
know
the
heat.
Yes,.
O
H
O
O
A
H
And
raccoons
little
baby,
rabbits
frogs
and
I
got
a
turtle
turtle.
He
fell
in
my
swimming
pool
Wow.
We
didn't
shock
it
because
you
know
the
hillside
fell
behind
us
with
everything,
so
we
were
seeing
bubbles
and
all
of
a
sudden
you
know
so.
I
was
gonna,
give
him
to
the
aviary
and
got
attached
to
him.
A
O
H
H
Did
possession
of
them?
Because
you
know
these
people
that
think
they're
going
to
have
that
a
mistakes
and
they're
not
going
to
keep
them
in
or
alligators
or
anything
or
have
them
without
signage
up
better
think
again,
because
these
could
hurt
one
of
our
officers.
What
one
of
our
paramedics,
one
of
our
police,
firemen.
O
H
O
H
It's
about
time
and
I
hope
they
fell
at
this
time.
You
too,
because
you
know
I'm
sure
we're
gonna,
put
it
in
a
budget,
I'm,
sorry
and
you're,
just
gonna
win
them
right
there
and
all
I
should
say
officer,
love
our
officer,
whoa,
okay,
but
I,
didn't
know
what
I,
what
I
do
think
and
I'm
not
sure,
but
I
think
you
ought
to
go
over
this
one
more
time
on
if
you're
gonna
have
enough
money
for
the
training
of
our
officers.
H
A
O
O
We
don't,
but
they
do
make
through
a
company
that
we
use
on
a
regular
basis
called
aces
which
stands
for
animal
care,
equipment
and
services,
and
we
do
get
a
lot
of
things
through
them.
So
I
can
get.
Cages
are
not
recommended
for
snakes.
What
is
recommended
for
snakes
actually
is
either
pillowcases,
but
they
do
make
specifically
snake
bags
and
I
can.
H
O
O
Can
be
for
feral
cats
or
just
what
are
called
semi
feral
cats
or
cats
that
are
just
maybe
not
Farrow,
but
not
really
used
to
being
handled
in
a
certain
way.
You
can
roll
them
up
really
tight
and
then
unroll
it
and
get
him
into
a
transfer
cage
or
into
a
cage
over
an
Animal,
Rescue
League
I
also
ordered
for
each
truck
Talon
gloves,
which
helps
them
handle
all
the
different
Falcons
and
eagles,
but
Falcons
and
red-tailed,
Hawks
and
stuff
they
run
into
because
the
the
bike
gloves
they
have
sometimes
are
not
protection
enough.
O
H
O
O
H
O
Gary,
they
also
now
carry
believe
it
or
not,
which
seems
kind
of
weird,
but
they
also
carry
duct
tape
if
they
run
across
alligators
or
anything
like
that,
they
now
have
a
way
of
taping
their
mouths
shut.
They
weren't
carrying
that
stuff
before
they
now
are
in
each
speech
officer
has
a
roll
of
duct
tape.
Yes,.
A

O

O

If
you
look
to
buy
a
home
around
woods
expect
to
have
even
we
have
frogs,
we
have
frogs
with
at
all
and
I
love
it
and
our
neighbors.
All
of
them
we
haven't
had
a
problem.
However,
we
often
sit
our
yards
and
they're
very
smart.
They
could
cross
the
street
so,
but
is
there
anything
else?
You
want
to
say:
I
have
to
say
that
any
of
your
animal
control
animal
here
in
control
officers
have
been
wonderful
to
work.
I.
