A
B
Okay,
hi
welcome
everyone
to
our
second
session
of
civic
leadership
academy.
This
we're
joined
for
this
presentation
by
the
office
of
management
and
budget
and
the
department
of
finance.
Sorry,
I
have
some
messages
here.
We
have
with
us
here
tonight,
patrick
cornell,
brendan
katya
and
erin
pickett,
so
they
will
be
our
presenters
tonight.
It's
going
to
be
a
really
interesting
presentation,
especially
based
on
the
times
that
we're
in,
and
also
just
like,
the
season
that
we're
in
in
the
city.
B
Everyone
is
rushing
to
to
get
the
budget
together,
so
it
should
make
for
some
really
interesting
discussion
and
conversation
before
we
get
started.
I
just
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
logistics,
so
the
office
of
management
and
budget
and
the
department
of
finance
they
have
merged
their
presentation
together.
So
it'll
just
be
one
big
presentation
and
we're
going
to
hold
quests
they've
left
time
within
our
session
for
questions,
so
we're
going
to
hold
questions
until
the
end
and
then
I
will
try
to
facilitate
questions.
B
So
if
you
do
have
a
question,
you're
going
to
raise
your
hand
through
zoom-
and
you
can
just
do
that
by
clicking
the
participants
icon
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen
and
then
it
should
pop
up
on
your
screen.
And
then
you,
if
you
hit
more
with
the
three
little
dots,
there
should
be
an
option
like
a
little
blue
hand
that
you
can
raise
your
hand
and
if
you
do
that
I'll
just
call
on
you.
You
can
have
your
question
during
questions.
B
I
do
ask
that
you
just
turn
your
camera
on,
so
we
know
who's
speaking
and
then
after
your
question,
you
do
have
to
lower
your
hand
as
well.
So
I
know
that
everything
is
done
and
I
apologize.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
weird,
but
I
think
that'll
make
for
kind
of
a
smoother
question
and
answer
session
for
everybody.
B
If
you
have
any
questions
about
that,
just
feel
free
to
message
me
in
the
chat
you
can
do
that
the
same
way
by
hitting
the
chat
icon
at
the
bottom,
and
I
can
try
to
help
you
through
that.
I
think
we
can
get
started.
So
I
think
patrick
is
gonna,
start
us
off
and
take
it
away.
C
All
right
thanks
leah
good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
to
your
second
session
of
the
civic
leadership
academy
brendan
aaron
and
myself
are
really
happy
to
be
here.
I
have
been
doing
civic
leadership
academy
for
four
years
now.
Maybe
I've
been
with
the
city
for
five,
so
right
now,
I'm
the
assistant
director
for
the
operating
budget
in
the
office
management
and
budget.
C
I
have
done
excuse
me.
I
have
worked
with
hr
finance,
imp,
public
safety
and
now,
in
my
role
I
kind
of
am
working
with
all
the
departments.
Citywide
brendan.
Do
you
want
to
introduce
yourself
real
fast,
and
then
we
can.
Let
aaron
do
that
as
well.
D
Sure
I'm
brendon
cotekie,
like
liam
patrick,
said,
I'm
a
senior
analyst
at
omb.
I
work
on
the
capital
budget
side
of
things,
so
partnership.
E
D
Patrick
but
kind
of
on
the
opposite
budget
side,
I'm
newer
to
participating
in
cla.
I
think
I've
been
doing
this
for
about
two
years,
but
I've
also
been
here
for
about
five
years
now
I
primarily
work
with
our
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
They
receive
most
likely
the
the
bulk
of
our
our
capital
funding.
So
that's
where,
where
most
of
my
efforts
are
placed.
F
Hi
I'm
aaron
pickett,
I
oversee
the
three
tax
embodies
and
also
the
real
estate
tax
collection
portion,
as,
as
patrick
reminded
me
earlier,
he
hasn't
been
doing
this
as
long
as
I
I
thought
him,
and
I
did
this
over
seven
years,
but
he
mentioned
five
so
yeah.
We
look
forward
to
giving
you
guys
an
overview
of
how
finance
works
and
how
budget
works
and
how
we
work
together.
F
C
All
right
thanks
guys,
so
one
thing
I
do
want
to
say
also-
and
I'm
sure
leah
mentioned
it
and
during
the
previous
session
we
do
think
that
it
is
incredibly
important
to
have
an
understanding
of
city
finances
and
how
things
are
paid
before
you
jump
into
other
departments.
C
You
know,
hopefully,
this
presentation
today
will
help
you
understand
one.
What
we're
going
through
currently
2020
has
been
a
a
rough
year
and
2021
is
we're.
Just
gonna
have
to
react
to
it,
but
what
you
learned
tonight
will
hopefully
help
guide
you
through
the
rest
of
the
civic
leadership
academy.
So,
let's
jump
in.
C
The
agenda
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
the
heavy
hitter
and
just
address
covet
19
head
on
from
there
we'll
go
into
the
budget
process.
We'll
start
with
some
revenues,
we'll
take
a
break.
Aaron
will
jump
into
taxation.
C
I'll
talk
about
expenditures.
Brandon
will
hit
the
capital
budget,
we'll
jump
back
to
erin
for
some
some
different
programs
that
the
department
of
finance
offers
to
help
you
with
you
know,
tax
abatement
and
properties
and
things
like
that
and
then
we'll
wrap
up.
We
have
some
resources
available
for
you
to
you
know
to
go
through
and
then
we'll
do
questions.
C
So,
let's
jump
on
in
the
office
of
management
and
budget,
our
key
leadership
is
kevin.
Paulus
is
a
director
like
I
said
I
am
the
assistant
director
for
the
operating
budget.
In
a
nutshell,
the
operating
budget
handles
your
day-to-day
costs
within
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
we
do
your
salaries.
Well,
our
salaries
benefits
office
supplies.
C
You
know:
professional
services,
debt,
payment
phone
bills-
you
know
just
the
regular
day-to-day
things.
Dave
hutchinson
is
the
assistant
director
for
the
capital
budget,
like
brendan
said.
That
is
more
of
the
long-term
spending
plan
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
He'll
go
through
the
specific
requirements
there
and
jennifer
holzinger
is
the
assistant
director
in
for
procurement
and
that
in
a
one-word
sentence,
is
you
know
they
handle
all
the
purchasing
for
the
city?
C
You
know
a
little
more
detail.
We
do
oversee
city-wide
business
processes
such
as
legislation,
position,
control,
travel,
requests
of
which
there
you
know
are
none
right.
Now,
in
general,
we
do
some
major
policy
work
for
the
overall
fiscal
health
of
the
city,
capital
fleet
and
asset
management
fleet
is
all
of
our
city
vehicles.
C
Operating,
like
I
said,
is
my
team.
I
also
have
oversight
over
our
grants
office,
so
we
have
a
staff
of
three
that
are
really
trying
to
maximize
opportunities
for
grant
funding
from
foundations.
C
The
federal
government
state
government,
any
private
partners,
and
things
of
that
sort-
and
you
know,
like
I
said
the
operating
budget-
is
our
day-to-day
spending.
We
do
have
to
do
an
annual
budget
with
a
five-year
spending
plan.
C
The
capital
budget
has
a
six-year
spending
plan,
so
they
have
to
go
one
year
further
out
than
we
do
in
addition
to
overseeing
day-to-day
purchasing
for
the
city,
procurement
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
recently,
with
with
really
looking
at
city
purchasing
and
contracting
through
a
lens
of
of
equity,
both
through
race
through
status.
You
know
small
businesses,
veterans,
etc,
so
they
they
really
have
been
trying
to
take.
C
F
So,
as
we
see
here,
we
recently
had
got
a
new
director
in
the
department
of
finance.
This
is
doug.
Anderson
doug
is
a
a
seasoned
veteran
he's
been
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh
for
over
12
12
13
years
he's
joining
us.
He
replaced
a
monarch
margaret
lanier,
our
former
treasurer,
so
it'll
be
a
challenge
for
him.
Coming
in
on
under
her
trying
to
fill
her
shoes,
she
was
she
was.
She
was
a
great
lady,
jennifer
goula
is
actually
the
assistant
director
as
well.
F
She
filled
in
very
well
for
doug,
as
he
as
as
in
and
helping
him
in
his
transition
and
was
was
excellent
while
prior
to
him
coming
whenever
director
lanier
stepped
down.
F
So
there's
a
here's,
a
couple
major
divisions.
We
have
the
director's
office.
The
director
actually
has
a
lot
of
interaction
with
council
director
anderson's
also
responsible
for
some
of
our
some
of
our
policy
making.
He
he's
actually
very,
very
stewed
at
audits
because
he
came
from
the
controller's
office,
and
that
was
some
of
his
primary
functions
in
his
previous
position.
We
also
we're
also
responsible
for
overseeing
pensions
bond
ratings.
F
We
we
have
a
a
bond
investment
group
that
really
does
a
good
job
at
that
the
treasurer's
office
and
not
to
confuse
the
two
positions
here.
The
director
and
the
treasurer
is
sort
of
a
hybrid
position.
Now
they
merged
those
two
positions
together
within
the
last
couple
years.
F
So
this
role
is
this
role
in
this
hat
is
actually
worn
by
the
same
person,
which
would
be
director
anderson
he
he's
responsible
for
in
that
role,
so
he
switches
hats
and
he's
responsible
for
some,
some
of
the
billing
of
the
real
estate
and
library
tax.
He
helps
he
oversees
the
property
property
sales
as
the
treasurer,
which
is
the
disposition
of
property.
F
He
oversees
the
data
entry
group,
which
is
part
of
the
collection
group
that
I
oversee
as
well:
collection
and
compliance
collection
of
the
library
tax,
which
is
the
one
one
of
the
goals
of
my
division,
is
collecting
for
library.
Tax
he's
also
he'll
also
oversee
the
financial
controls,
our
staffing,
our
cashiers
and
overseeing
their
day-to-day
operations
and
the
daily
wiring
of
cash.
F
Research
and
development
division-
these
are
some
of
the
functions
within
the
real
estate
department
that
we
engage
in.
We
met,
we
managed
and
changed
part
of
new
initiatives,
and
one
of
those
new
initiatives
this
year
is
the
real
estate.
Division
is
actually
working
on
implementing
a
new
real
estate
system
so
and,
as
we
see
in
the
next,
the
next
caption
the
streamlining
of
systems.
F
This
system
is
a
bit
of
a
challenge:
the
city,
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
as
we
know
we're
trying
to
bring
ourselves
into
the
20th
20th
century.
So
this
new
system
will
be
be
a
breath
of
fresh
air.
It's
it's
automated.
It
has
a
lot
of
things
and
capabilities
that
we
couldn't
dream
of.
So
we're
very
excited
excited
about
that.
We
also
do
audits
and
investigations.
F
These
are
some
of
the
taxes
that
are
that
we
oversee
and
we
we
we
meet
weekly,
to
discuss
the
tax,
the
amusement
tax,
the
parking
revenue,
the
service
privilege
tax,
our
our
department
of
finance
also
manages
leases,
fee
analysis,
legislation
and
policy
development,
the
manager
managing
of
city
leases,
or
some
of
your
longer-term
commitments
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
has
joint
ventures
with,
as
as
an
example
of
some
of
the
the
river
river
riverside
property
that
we
lease
out
to
different
different
groups
to
participate
in,
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
C
C
F
A
C
C
Thanks
aaron,
this
is
one
of
my
favorite
slides.
This
is
the
key
relationship
right
here.
So
finance
brings
the
money
in
whether
it
be
you
know.
Tax
revenue
is
the
majority
of
our
money
in
licenses
and
permits
intergovernmental
monies,
fines
and
forfeitures,
etc,
and
then
we
have
a
very
close
collaboration
and
omb
is
responsible
for
divvying
it
up.
You
know:
we've
worked
with
departments
to
to
figure
out
what
the
needs
are
for
our
daily
operating
budget
and
our
capital
budget
and
and
the
money
that
is
brought
in.
C
C
Oh
there
you
go
all
right
so,
like
I
said
earlier,
I'm
going
to
jump
right
in
covet.
19
has
had
an
extremely
detrimental
effect
on
not
only
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
but
private
and
public
sectors
around
the
world.
Obviously,
I'm
going
to
break
this
up
into
what
has
happened
in
2020
and
then
move
into
how
that's
impacted
2021.
C
Our
revenues
are
expected
to
be
below
budget
by
76
million
dollars,
so
we
originally
were
anticipating
around
608
million
dollars,
609
million
dollars
and
that
just
isn't
going
to
happen
this
year
between
you
know
layoffs
in
various
sectors
between
the
lack
of
sporting
events
and
concerts,
people
weren't
going
downtown
to
park
a
lot
of
our
revenue
revenue
sources
were
hit
and
they
were
hit
hard,
so
earned
income
tax
is
forecast
to
be
down
14
by
the
end
of
the
year.
C
Payroll
prep
17,
down
parking
tax
is
huge
50
down,
and
that's
us
partnering
with
the
the
parking
authority,
and
some
of
this
is,
is
daily
parking
meter
money.
You
know
parking
court
money,
but
it's
down.
You
know
things
were
slowly
picking
back
up.
Obviously,
things
are
not
going
so
well
right
now
with
coronavirus,
especially
as
of
today,
with
our
new
stay
at
home
advisory.
C
So
we'll
see
what
happens.
Regional
asset
tax
relief
is
a
portion
of
the
one
percent
sales
tax
increase
in
allegheny
county.
That's
expected
to
be
down
amusement
tax
is
related
to
ticket
sales
for
all
of
our
major
venues
concerts
football
baseball
hockey,
all
that's
down
and
facility
usage
fees
are
fees
that
the
people
who
come
to
these
major
events
have
to
pay
and
as
a
portion
of
ways
to
keep
those
facilities
in
line.
That's
also
down,
so
not
great
in
terms
of
expenditures.
C
We've
had
increased
expenditures,
we've
had
to
purchase
ppe
personal
protection
equipment.
We've
had
to
very
quickly
invest
in
the
technology
to
work
from
home.
You
know
everyone
on
this
call
has
is
able
to
to
be
here
with
you,
but
you
know
what,
if
we
didn't
have
access
to
a
computer
with
a
webcam
or
you
know,
how
can
I
access
our
financial
system
from
home
without
an
rsa
token,
for
those
employees
who
cannot
work
from
home,
including
you
know,
first
responders-
refuse
workers
inspectors.
C
C
We've
also
deployed
the
ems
echo
unit,
which
is
a
response
unit
for
infectious
disease.
I
was
talking
to
chief
fermano
back
in
january.
He
specifically
said
you
know.
This
is
the
last
time
I'll
probably
shake
your
hand
for
a
while,
because
we're
about
to
get
hit
with
with
a
pandemic,
so
the
public
safety
has
been.
Work
had
been
working
on
this
in
preparation.
They,
you
know,
were
able
to
to
get
things
going,
so
I
definitely
want
to
give
them
a
shout
out
for
for
their
hard
work.
C
So
what
did
we
do
this
year
in
terms
of
revenues?
Aaron's?
Colleagues
in
the
department
of
finance
have
been
doing
weekly
forecast,
updates,
taking
economic
data
taking
actual
numbers
as
they
come
in
and
are
posted
to
the
financial
system,
and
we've
been
in
constant
communication,
because
the
problem
is,
if
money
doesn't
come
in,
we
don't
get
to
spend
it
and
there's
always
concern
about
cash
flow.
C
So
we've
we've
been
very
careful
to
react
appropriately
in
terms
of
expenditures.
We
are
expecting
to
be
below
budget
by
34
million
dollars.
That's
five
percent
of
our
608
million
dollar
budget
and
we
have
accomplished
this
through
hiring,
freeze,
travel,
freeze,
postponement
and
cancellations
of
sever
several
projects.
C
We've
received
the
monies
from
the
us
department
of
justice
that
was
for
public
safety,
reimbursement
of
unanticipated
costs,
health
and
human
services
helped
to
reimburse
some
of
the
initial
echo
unit
costs
that
I
mentioned
for
ems,
housing
and
urban
development
had
a
lot
of
funding
available
for
some
supplemental
programs.
Brandon.
Do
you
want
to
jump
in
and
talk
about
those
real
fast,
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
that
is
more
on
the
cdbg
side
of
things.
D
Now
it's
we've
received,
I
had
just
looked
it
up.
Actually,
while
you
were
talking
it's
a
little
bit
over
18
million
dollars,
that's
been
additionally
allocated
beyond
our
normal
programs
from
hud
for
2020.
This
is
for
programs
like
rapid,
rehousing,
so
kind
of
you
know
this
is
important
work.
Obviously
this
is
not
the
kind
of
aid
that
we
received
either
that
kind
of
goes
in
to
plug
our
general
fund
holes.
So
this
is,
you
know,
important
response
that
we're
doing,
but
but.
C
D
C
Thanks
we
also
received
from
allegheny
county.
They
received
money
directly
from
the
u.s
department
of
treasury
from
the
very
first
you
know,
cares
act
back
in
march
april.
The
way
that
that
bill
was
structured,
municipalities
or
local
governments
had
to
have
a
population
of
500
000
or
more.
We
don't
qualify
for
that,
so
the
county,
very,
thankfully,
did
allocate
monies
to
each
of
the
municipalities
within
the
county.
C
We
received
6.2
million
dollars
from
them
again
to
help
with
reimbursement
of
unanticipated
expenditures.
So,
like
brendan
mentioned,
none
of
this
aid
was
able
to
be
used
for
lost
revenue.
So
while
it
helped
offset
the
cost
of
things
that
we
needed
to
react,
it
doesn't
necessarily
help
it
didn't
help
the
bottom
line.
So
overall
we
expect
to
be
short
from
a
cash
flow
perspective,
56
million
dollars
at
the
end
of
this
year,
and
that's
not
great,
and
what
does
that
mean?
C
C
We
are
expected
to
you
know
who
knows
what
will
happen
in
december,
but
we
expect
to
have
to
tap
into
some
of
these
funds
and
that
that
isn't
necessarily
going
to
be
catastrophic
for
our
immediate
short
term,
but
we
need
to
replenish
those
in
the
long
term
and
that's
where
the
2021
budget
and
five-year
plan
comes
into
play.
C
So
what
does
this
mean?
The
lower
forecast
we
have
for
2020?
That's
not
going
to
change
so
in
terms
of
revenues.
The
forecast
must
align
with
our
current
economic
trends,
so
that
is
still
going
to
rely
on
constant
communication
with
our
revenue
manager
to
say
hey
this
week,
we've
heard
that
you
know
nhl
might
return
in
you
know,
january
or
whatever
month
or
baseball's
coming
back
in
this
month.
So,
let's
readjust
our
our
expectations
of
when
we
could
get
some
of
those
revenues
in
in
terms
of
expenditures.
C
The
big
kicker
is
that
we
have
to
have
a
balanced
budget
per
our
governing
documents.
We
must
have
expenditures
less
than
or
equal
to
whatever
this
revenue
forecast
is
so
if
revenues
are
going
to
be
down
tens
of
millions
of
dollars,
we
have
to
cut
accordingly
and
that's
where
we
are.
That's
where
my
team
had
a
very
it
was
a
very
unpleasant
summer
trying
to
get
everything
in
line.
C
So
what
we've
done
in
terms
of
expenditures?
The
first
thing
we
did
is
we
worked
with
all
department
directors.
We
cut
almost
all
currently
vacant
positions
which
is
going
to
you
know
negatively
impact
the
speed
at
which
some
things
can
get
done.
We've
trimmed
budget
lines
across
all
departments,
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
if
things
can
shift
into
later
budget
years,
we've
gotten
creative.
C
The
big
thing
is
that
wasn't
enough
to
pass
a
legal
document
for
the
2021
budget.
What
we
will
have
to
do
if
there
is
not
a
change
in
the
situation,
is
come
july
1st
there
are
anticipated
workforce
reductions
across
the
city.
C
C
Maybe
we're
able
to
cut
expenditures
in
a
way
that
we
hadn't
really
thought
about
it
before.
So
it's
it's
not
a
pretty
picture.
You
know
we
have
had
several
years
every
year
since
I've
been
here
where
revenues
have
gone
up
every
year,
expenditures
have
gone
up
every
year,
kind
of
in
an
equal
proportion.
C
We've
been
able
to
to
hire
on
new
people,
start
new
projects,
work
on
new
things
that
benefit
you,
the
the
residents-
and
this
is
the
first
year
in
my
career
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
where
we're
reconsidering,
so
that
I
mean
that's
where
we
are
with
covet
19,
and
I
expect
some
questions
later
on.
It's
it's
not
it's
not
fun.
C
You
know
it's
a
lot
of
anxiety
for
our
office,
for
department,
finance
and
for
department,
directors
and
staff
members,
and
you
know
residents
frankly
so
on
that
note,
I
do
want
to
jump
into
the
operating
budget
for
fiscal
year,
2021
I'll
run
through
the
overall
process
and
we
can
figure
out
what's
going
on
so
every
year
january.
1St
is
the
start
of
the
fiscal
year.
C
This
is
when
our
operating
and
capital
budget
appropriations
become
effective.
You
know
for
our
office
from
january
through
june.
We
are
mostly
monitoring.
What's
going
on,
we
are.
We
do
quarterly
reporting,
we
are
doing
special
projects.
You
know
just
because.
C
C
Our
teams
are
probably
going
to
be
working
on
the
budget
all
day
every
day
in
june.
Typically,
what
we
would
do
is
reach
out
to
departments.
We
would
give
our
contacts
rundowns
of
hey.
This
is
what
you've
spent
in
prior
years.
This
is
what
you're
trending
at
now.
Do
you
have
any
requests
for
us
four
programs,
four
positions,
four
things
moving
into
the
following
fiscal
year:
in
august
and
september,
our
teams
meet
internally
amongst
ourselves
to
discuss.
C
C
We
also
use
this
time
to
build
the
document
itself.
You
know
so
we
have
goals
for
each
department.
We
have
accomplishments.
So
if
you
have
a
chance,
I
would
recommend
reading
through
reading
through
the
document
itself.
C
Normally
we
have
a
preliminary
budget
in
september,
so
I'm
at
the
bottom
of
the
wheel.
Now
we
do
normally
have
a
september
budget.
This
is
a
remnant
of
when
we
were
in
state
oversight.
You
know
from
2004
through
2018,
we
used
to
have
to
submit
a
budget
to
the
state
for
them
to
pick
through
line
by
line.
C
Now,
it's
more
of
a
way
to
make
sure
that
the
mayor's
administration
council
are
kind
of
on
the
same
page.
You
know
it's
our
first
stab
at
what
we're
working
with
in
october
and
november.
We
make
some
revisions
in
mid-november.
The
mayor
presents
his
final
operating
and
capital
budgets
to
city
council.
This
happened
two
weeks
ago.
C
The
mayor
gives
a
state
of
the
city
address,
which
I
believe
leah
has
has
sent
to
you,
and
that
is
when
he
formally
gives
the
budget
over
to
city
council
from
here
the
nine
district
offices
in
city
council
and
their
council
budget.
They
take
over
so
hands
off
for
us,
of
course,
given
the
pandemic,
that
isn't
the
case
for
us
right
now,
but
as
of
now,
the
budget
for
2021
is
in
the
hands
of
city
council,
so
our
teams
are
not
making
any
changes.
C
C
In
november
and
december
city
council
holds
televised
budget
hearings.
There
is
one
session
that
is
the
citizen,
participation
and
tax
discussion,
at
which
public
comment
is
accepted,
so
be
on
the
lookout
for
that,
and
then
council
must
approve
a
balanced
budget
by
the
end
of
the
year,
and
so
what
I
said
earlier
that
we're
going
to
be
working
through
the
budget.
If
the
mayor
and
council
both
agree,
the
budget
can
be
reopened
and
amended.
So
we're
hoping
we
can
do
that
and
and
not
have
to
to
carry
out
these
anticipated
layoffs.
C
So
in
2020,
our
operating
budget
funded
27
departments
bureaus
and
offices,
10
different
labor
units,
3
233,
full-time
budget
positions,
including
900
police
officers,
667,
firefighters,
181,
paramedics,
28,
emts,
568
public
works
employees,
including
193
environmental
service
employees,
who
pick
up
your
refuse
and
recycling
and
47
full-time
parks,
employees
plus
part-time
and
seasonal
employees,
as
programming
demands
jumping
into
2021
immediately.
You
can
see
one
we've
added
a
new
office,
that's
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety.
C
It
will
be
headed
by
lara
jorgowski.
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
10
labor
units
still
you've
noticed
that
our
full-time
budgeted
positions
have
dropped.
Like
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
have
cut
vacant
positions
as
of
right.
Now
we
still
have
900
police
officers,
budgeted
667,
firefighters,
182
paramedics,
28
emts,
512
public
works
employees
again.
Some
of
those
were
vacant,
positions
that
were
removed,
including
178
environmental
service
employees
and
36
full-time
parks,
employees
plus
part-time
and
seasonal
employees.
C
So
the
most
important
part
of
the
budget
document
itself-
and
I
would
show
you
my
budget
from
last
year,
but
it's
holding
up
my
my
tablet
so
not
wise
thinking
on
my
part.
It's
called
the
five
year
financial
forecast.
C
It
is
composed
of
the
target
budget,
which
is
the
most
important
page
in
the
operating
budget
and
we'll
get
there
in
a
second
that
has
the
overview
of
your
revenues,
expenditures
the
operating
result,
which
is
going
to
be
your
revenues,
minus
your
expenditures,
just
the
end
of
year,
surplus
or
deficit,
the
reserve
fund
balances
and
the
fund
balance
and
debt
service
as
a
percentage
of
expenditures.
C
C
So
without
further
ado,
I
realize
that
these
numbers
are
small.
You
will
have
access
to
this
presentation
to
the
budget
itself
is
online,
so
you
will
be
able
to
run
through
these.
You
know
with
with
more
scrutiny
as
we
move
forward
so,
like
I
said
you
see
all
the
revenues.
The
2020
estimate
is
what
I
alluded
to
earlier.
C
That
531
number
is
is
down
from
what
we
expected
it
to
be,
and
then
over
the
next
five
years
you
know,
570
million
dollars
in
2021
is
almost
40
million
dollars
less
than
what
we
had
budgeted
this
year,
but
there
we
are
expecting
growth.
There
are
some
budget
lines
in
terms
of
revenues
that
we
expect
to
get
back
to
normal,
and
that
can
you
know
that's
reflected
in
this
document
in
terms
of
expenditures.
C
We've
split
it
up
into
a
few
major
categories:
salaries,
health
benefits,
that's
health
care,
dental
vision,
short
and
long
term
disability.
If
appropriate
and
other
things
like
that
workers
compensation,
the
numbers
have
been
they've
increased
significantly
over
the
past
few
years,
you'll
notice
that
the
numbers
go
up
a
little
bit
each
year.
Some
of
that
is
just
related
to
working
with
our
third-party
partners,
not
actual
claims
themselves,
pension
and
opev
other
post-employment
benefits.
C
This
is
perhaps
the
city's
you
know
toughest
cost
it's
it's.
These
are
legacy
costs
and
it
is
paying
for
our
retired
employees
and
we
have
had
a
difficult
time
maintaining
funding
a
proper
funding
balance
for
the
pension,
but
the
mayor,
peduto
has
has.
C
He's
committed
to
to
paying,
in
addition
to
our
state
required
minimum
to
more
money
into
the
pension
fund
to
increase
our
pension,
our
pension
funding
percentage
excuse
me
operating
departments
is
going
to
be
your
your
supplies.
It's
going
to
be
your
professional
service
contracts
and
debt
service
is
repayment
of
bonds
that
we
take
out
to
fund
our
capital
budget
program.
So
this
is
one
of
the
biggest
places
where
my
team
works
with
brendan's
team
to
to
to
come
together.
C
Again,
you
can
see
that
negative
55
million
dollars
that
I
was
referring
to
in
our
2020
estimate
and
that
will
drop
our
fund
balance
way
down
from
120
to
48.,
but
in
each
of
the
out
years
we
do
have
a
balanced
operating
result
because
we
are
required
to
do
so.
C
C
The
goal
is
to
have
two
months
worth
of
expenses
available
to
you
at
any
time,
which
is
sixteen
point,
six
percent
in
our
code,
in
that
you
know
passed
by
city
council,
we
are
required
to
have
at
least
ten
percent
council
has
passed
an
ordinance
temporarily
lowering
this
amount
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
allowing
us
to
be
able
to
slowly
build
that
back
up
instead
of
having
to
just
do
it
all
at
once.
C
The
other
gauge
right
there
is
debt
service
as
a
percentage
of
expenditures,
and
that
is
you
know
the
total
debt
service
divided
by
the
total
expenditures,
and
the
idea
with
this
is
that
we
don't
want
to
be
spending
all
of
our
money
on
paying
back
old
debt.
C
So
we
keep
this
per
code.
Less
than
12
you'll,
see
in
2025
we're
getting
close
to
12.
We
actually
have
what
we
call
a
debt
cliff
so
and
one
old
repayment
schedule
will
be
finished,
so
that
number
will
then
go
down
and
we
have
a
little
more
wiggle
room
to
do
this.
I
will
say
there
were
years.
You
know
within
the
past
10
15
years,
where
there
were
there
was
no
debt
service
or
excuse
me.
C
C
The
other
way
to
look
at
this
data
is
by
department,
like
I
mentioned
before,
you
can
see
on
this
page
that
our
2019
actual
was
553
million
dollars,
we're
expecting
587
million
dollars.
You
can
see
that
number
drops
down
four
percent
to
2021
again.
That
is
a
reaction
to
what
we
need
for
a
balanced
budget
and
then
from
there.
C
It
slowly
increases
back
up
based
on
known
costs.
You
know
known
projects,
known
contracts
and
things
of
that
sort.
C
Revenue
I'll
jump
into
this
real
fast,
so
revenues
are
comprised
of
tax
and
non-tax
sources
for
2021.
81.5
percent
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Revenue
brought
in
is
expected
to
be
a
tax-based
revenue,
so
obviously
the
difference,
18.5
percent
is
going
to
be
a
non-tax
revenue.
Our
non-tax
revenues
include
licenses
and
permits
fines
and
forfeitures
intergovernmental
transfers.
C
You
know
us
working
with
the
state
or
working
with
you
know
the
borough
of
wilkinsburg
for
fire
services,
for
example,
interest
earnings
and
charges
for
services
or
the
other
non-tax
revenues
in
terms
of
our
tax
revenues.
C
C
C
Let's
take
a
break,
it
is

please
be
back

give
or
take
a
few
minutes,
I'm
going
to
get
a
drink
of
water
and
we'll
keep
on
going
aaron
I'll
pick
it
up
thanks.
C
So
I
briefly
touched
on
you
know:
revenues,
but
I'm
gonna.
Let
aaron
go
into
more
details
about
taxes
and
we'll
let
him
start
with
his.
What
I
assume
is
his
personal
favorite
real
estate,
so
take
it
away.
Aaron,
and
let
me
know
when
you
need
to
go
on
to
the
next
slide.
F
Right,
yeah,
yeah
and
as
as
patrick,
was
mentioning
from
you.
We
usually
typically
start
from
january.
We
from
january
on
tax
collection
is
a
very
integral
part
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh's
collections
yeah.
So
this
is
the
time
where
we're
we're
really
hunkering
down
we're,
focusing
all
our
efforts
into
collections,
as,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
collect
we
collect
taxes
for
both
the
city,
the
city,
school
and
the
county,
as
mentioned
in
the
document
as
well.
F
We're
anticipated
for
148
million
dollars
in
2020.,
as
we've
seen
in
that
previous
slide,
that
the
chunk
of
real
estate
that
is
collected
is
is
a
big
chunk.
I
mean
you
know
we're
we're
we're.
We
realize
that
we're
we're.
You
know
we're
the
sole
provider
at
this
point
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
F
Here's
an
example
of
how
how
the
properties
are
determined
and
that's
built
on
that's
built
on
fair
market
value
from
your
property
assessment
and
that's
not
determined,
as
a
lot
of
people
may
think
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
actually
determines
the
property
assessment
value,
but
that
that
property
assessment
value
is
actually
determined
by
the
county.
F
The
county's
office
taxes
are
determined
by
multiplying
the
market
value
time
to
millage
rate,
as
we've
seen
how
the
in
in
previous
previous
years
council
will
go
they'll,
you
know
they'll
they'll
get
together
and
with
with
other
entities
and
the
county
and
collection
group
and
they'll
look
at
the
millage
rate.
F
As
we
see
here,
a
mill
is
a
tenth
of
a
cent
so
of
a
thousand
thousand
assessment,
and
these
are
these
are
the
millions
millage
rates,
eight
thousand
six
cents,
school
tax,
nine
dollars
and
ninety
five
cents,
the
county
tax,
four
four
dollars
and
seventy
three
cents.
This
is
in,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
early
in
the
early
part
of
our
collection
cycle.
F
This
is
one
of
the
one
I'll
say
one
of
the
most
instrumental
is
where
we
see
is
such
an
influx
is
in
the
beginning
and
as
we
see
and
that's
because
of
the
two
percent
discount,
that's
given
to
anyone
that
pays
before
february
10th.
So
we
see
a
lot
of
activity
in
our
collection,
especially
around
february
receipts,
for
payments
are
mailed
during
the
year.
If
a
person
has
a
mortgage,
the
mortgage
company
will
provide
that
information
to
you
as
as
asked
upon.
F
We
make
sure
that
before
that
next
billing
cycle,
we
send
receipts
a
payment,
but
you
can
also
reach
out
to
our
office
and
we'll
be
more
than
welcome
to
provide
you
receipts
and
give
you
information
on
your
taxes.
C
Before
I
jump
to
the
next
slide,
I'll
just
point
out
also
that
mayor
peduto
did
not
propose
a
city
tax
increase
for
real
estate
this
year.
The
schools
I
believe
did-
and
that
is
reflected
in
this-
that
the
995.
F
Yeah
yep,
absolutely
yeah,
and
that's
that
was
just
mentioned.
The
first
line.
Patrick
thank
you
for
that
just
mentioned
the
same
thing
these
are
billed
on
on
the
real
estate.
This
is
this
also
will
be
shown
on
the
real
estate
tax
bill.
0.2
mill
is
the
equivalence
of
25
per
year
on
your
100
000
of
assessed
property.
F
We
also
make
sure
that
if
the
amount
of
your
tax
bill
is
at
a
certain
amount
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
won't
send
a
bill,
it's
just
based
on
the
millage
and
the
the
the
calculation
is
just
not
a
good,
not
an
effort
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
To
do
that
here.
Here's
an
here's
the
example
of
where
your
payments
are
made.
The
payments
are
made
to
the
treasurer
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
F
Payments
can
be
made
in
person
in
the
city,
county,
building
and
and
or
mailed
out
to
treasure
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
so
we're
located
at
414
grant
street.
We
we
welcome
you
to
come
in
which
we,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
city
of
pittsburgh
residents
that
do
come
into
the
office
and
pay
their
pay
their
bills
in
person
and
we're
there
to
facilitate
that
answer.
Your
questions
also
within
that
office
we
have
a
real
estate
disposition
area
as
well.
C
H
F
F
So
so
the
parks
tax
is
is
one
of
our
most
recent
tax.
It's
a
special
tax
on
tax
on
taxable
real
estate
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
It
was
approved
by
the
voters
in
2019.
It
was
actually
on
the
ballot.
It
was
chosen
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh
residents
as
as
a
as
one
of
our
newest
tax,
one
of
our
newest
babies.
We
call
it
it's
it's.
F
It's
only
0.5
mills,
it's
the
equivalency
of
fifty
dollars
per
year
on
your
on
on
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
your
asses,
assessed
property
property
tax
and
keep
in
mind
that
that's
not
that
property
amount
isn't
isn't
generated
from
the
city
of
pittsburgh's
office
is
generated
from
the
county
office,
so
we
just
go
off
of
what
they
have
sent
to
us
in
terms
of
assessed
value.
F
This
tax
will
be
billed
on
the
real
estate
tax
bill
when
implemented
as
as
stated
city
council
is
still
currently
reviewing
this
current
tax.
I
I
assume
the
anticipation
won't
be
until
2021
and
you
we
will.
We
we've
all.
We've
had
mock
mock
bills
already
to
kind
of
get
ahead
of
the
game
and
kind
of
make
sure
you
know
our
billing
process
is
operating
efficiently,
so
the
city
of
pittsburgh
residents
won't
see
any
breaks
in
their
in
their
billing.
F
I'm
one
of
three
taxing
bodies,
so
the
three
tax
embodies,
are
the
three
tax
embodies
of
the
city
of
pic
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
uses
as
as
well.
The
real
estate
department
collects
the
the
taxes
for
these
three
tax
employees,
which
is
this
the
city,
county
and
school
school
district,
so
for
every
tax
dollar
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
receives
just
keep
in
mind
this
this
money.
These
monies
are
split
in
three
three
different:
three
different
directions:
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
F
The
city
of
pittsburgh
is
the
administrator
for
the
inventory
of
vacant,
lots
and
structures
owned
by
the
three
taxi
bodies,
so
how
the
city
of
pittsburgh
acquires
these
vacant
lots
and
structures
these
the
city
of
pittsburgh
requires
these
through
delinquencies.
If,
if
a
city
of
pittsburgh
residents
just
unfortunately
fall
in
bad
times,
etc
found
themselves
in
a
in
a
predicament
where
you
know,
the
the
obligation
is
just
just
a
little
too
a
little
too
heavy
for
them
at
the
time,
and
you
know
they
just
most
of
the
time.
F
My
experience
is,
we
we've
seen
properties
that
you
know
have
that
have
been
walked
away,
walked
away
from
and
the
the
tax
the
tax
amount
has
just
that
has
incurred
is
just
really
built
up,
and
the
city
of
pittsburgh
will
take
on
that
property
and
facilitate
that
the
inventory
has
been
acquired
via
tax
recloser,
as
I
just
mentioned,
and
that's
and
that's
and
that's
instrumented
through
the
second
class
city
treasurer's
and
collections
act
of
1
171
of
1984.,
as
I
mentioned
before,
the
finance
director
actually
wears
two
hats,
so
you
know
he's
he
now
himself.
F
Him
is
currently
overseeing
the
the
treasurer
wearing
the
treasures
hat,
as
well
as
the
director's
hat.
So
this
is
one
of
his
functions,
as
I
mentioned
before,
to
kind
of
make
sure
he
oversees
this.
So
you
can
imagine
how
how
how
intense
hit
that
position
can
be.
These
properties
are
sold
through
a
procedure
called
the
the
court
auctions
auction
cell
in
my
world.
We
actually
call
the
treasurer
cell.
F
The
treasury
cell
is
is
a
well
there's.
There's
there's
there's
two
functions,
there's
the
treasurer
cell
and
then
there
there's
there's
what
we
call
to
make.
We
put
in
plain
simple
words:
the
c
we'll
say
the
city
of
pittsburgh
cell,
so
the
treasurer
cell
is
a
open
auction
that
allows
city
of
pittsburgh
residents
to
come
and
participate
in
an
auction
to
purchase
these
delinquent
properties
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
holds.
F
F
What
we've
also
seen
is
the
the
properties
that
at
the
treasury
cell
or
some
of
our
properties
that
aren't
the
best
condition.
However
they're
they're
gems,
for
people
who
want
to
rehab
properties,
you
know
beautification
for
neighborhoods.
There's,
there's
many
different
reasons
why
these
properties
are
acquired.
F
You
must
be
current
on
real
estate
taxes.
You
must
be
current
on
pwsa
taxes
and
not
have
pli
violations
to
participate
in
purchasing
property
from
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
we
want
to
just
make
sure
that
you
don't
owe
us
any
taxes
prior
to
you,
purchasing
prop
purchasing
a
tax
link
or
property
from
us.
F
So
it's
kind
of
like
twofold
once
the
sale
once
the
cell
started
there's
more
than
one
interested
party,
then
we
hold
an
auction
between
two
parties
that
allows
that
allows
more
than
one
person
to
participate
in
a
property.
There
could
be
a
property
in
your
neighborhood
you're,
a
city
of
pittsburgh
resident.
F
F
Sorry
earn
income
tax
as
we
see
here
for
2021,
and
we
want
to
thank
patrick
for
this
for
budgeting.
This
amount
for
us
to
anticipate-
and
this
is
another
these.
This
is
another
tax-
that
our
department,
the
finance
department,
really
hunkers
down
from
january
on-
to
make
sure
we're
bringing
in
that
revenue,
because
our
primary
function
is
to
collect
taxes
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
as
diligent
as
we
are,
as
we
can
be
to
make
sure
we
help
with
the
current
deficits,
etc.
F
Just
making
sure
that
the
city
is
receiving
these
monies,
this
this
tax
is
applied
to
people
who
aren't
income
and
or
net
profits,
and
our
city
residents
and
non-residents
of
other
states
or
individuals
and
international
visas
working
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
F
We
make
sure
that
we're
doing
our
homework
we're
making
sure
that
we're
the
companies
are
providing
that
information
to
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
appropriately
making
making
sure
that
earn
income
tax
is
correct.
Here,
here's
a
breakdown
of
the
resident
pay
one
percent
tax
to
the
city,
two
percent
tax
to
the
school
and
which
equals
a
three
percent
tax.
The
local
earned
income
tax
annual
filing
deadline
is
the
same
as
the
federal
deadline.
F
So
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
we're
in
compliance
of
federal
deadlines
per
state
law.
These
are
collected
by
jordan,
tax
services
and
jordan.
Tax
services
is
our
third
party
collector,
so
not
not
only
do
they
collect
the
earned
income
tax,
they
collect
the
delinquent
real
estate,
tax
taxes
and
the
current
I
mean
prior
sorry,
delinquent
delinquent,
real
estate
taxes
prior
delinquent,
real
estate
taxes.
We
anything
current.
F
So
here's
some
of
our
self
self-assess
taxes,
as
we
we've
seen
in
the
grid
earlier,
the
the
earned
income
tax,
the
local
services
tax,
which
is
the
your
your
your
tax
work,
50
52
per
year
that
we,
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
collects
the
payroll
prep
tax,
the
amusement
tax,
as
as
patrick
mentioned
earlier.
This
is
this
is
a
critical
one
that
we
we
also
monitor
in
our
department,
because
we're
constantly
looking
at
what
concerts
are
being
held.
F
We're
monitoring,
as
patrick
mentioned,
the
penguins,
the
pirates
et
cetera
any
venue
that
would
require
them
to
pay
amusement
tax.
The
city,
the
finance
department,
is
actively
making
sure
that
we
reach
out
to
those
groups
and
we
do
our
due
diligence
to
kind
of
make
sure
we
monitor
that
as
well.
And
you
know,
as
with
with
covid,
it's
been
a
little
difficult
in
in
in
those
areas.
The
parking
taxes
is
a
very,
very,
very
instrumental
tax.
F
The
institution
and
service
service
prison
privilege
tax,
as
we
see
the
it's
20
20
000
exclusions,
six
meals,
two
mills
for
goods
wares
and
merchandise
sold,
and
this
is
as
an
example
in
your
hospitals,
the
goods
and
services
that
are
that
are
sold
there.
The
d
transfer
tax
city
is
three
3.5,
the
school
is,
is
one
percent
and
the
commonwealth
is,
is
one
percent,
that's
the
tax
that,
as
properties
are
sold.
The
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Real
estate
department
collects.
C
I'll
jump
in
real
fast
and
say
the
city's
portion
of
the
d
transfer
tax
increased
over
the
past
two
years,
and
that
is
how
we
are
funding.
The
housing
opportunity
fund
with
the
ura.
C
Yep
all
right,
I'm
gonna
steal
it
back
from
you
aaron.
Thank
you,
yep
yep,
so,
on
the
flip
side
for
expenditures,
what
we
are
anticipating
for
2021
so
where.
C
Go
the
way
that
we
break
down
expenditures
in
the
operating
budget
is
using
a
chart
of
accounts,
so
the
chart
of
accounts
breaks
things
down
into
general
categories.
C
Like
you
see
here,
personnel
for
salaries
and
wages,
employee
benefits,
professional
and
technical
services,
property
services
is
going
to
be
things
like
leases,
like
aaron
mentioned
before
we
lease
space
for
police
headquarters
on
the
north
side,
other
services
is
kind
of
a
one
that
captures
promotional
advertising
a
lot
of
our
recruitment
costs,
employee
recognition,
things
of
that
nature,
but
also
our
telephone
bills
and
cable.
C
So
that's
kind
of
a
catch-all
supplies
is
pretty
self-explanatory.
That
is
both
things
like
office
supplies
and
also
equipment.
Property
is
anything
that
is
a
larger
purchase,
including
furniture,
including
you
know,
av
equipment,
things
that
are
that
one
would
consider
an
asset
but
they're,
not
quite
capital
budget.
C
They
don't
meet
the
requirements
to
be
a
capital,
expense
and
then
debt
service.
Oh,
I
skipped
miscellaneous.
A
lot
of
those
would
be
grants
paid
out
to
other
organizations.
Legal
judgments
come
from
this
subclass
and
then
debt
service,
like
I
mentioned
before
so
here,
you
can
see
the
breakdown.
C
C
So
that
really
does
leave
very
little
wiggle
room
for
non-personnel
expenses.
You
know
if
you
take
out
pers
salaries
and
wages,
benefits
and
debt
service.
You're
you're
left
with
a
small
chunk.
It's
less
than
25.
C
You
have
the
blue.
The
top
portion
of
the
pie
is
public
safety
and
that's
41.2
percent
of
our
operating
budget.
That
includes
the
bureau
of
administration,
the
bureau
of
emergency
medical
services,
fire
police,
animal
care
and
control
are
crossing
guards,
and
yes,
that's
it.
The
next
chunk
is
orange,
and
that
is
finance.
The
reason
that
is
so
high
is
because
that
is
where
our
pension
and
debt
service
costs
are
budgeted.
C
Human
resources
is
benefits
like
I
said,
workers
compensation,
so
those
are
are
large
costs
for
one
particular
department,
the
limeish
green
color,
the
61
million
is
for
general
government,
that's
that's
everything
else,
and
then
the
slivers
are
so
tall
for
city,
council,
the
city
controller
and
the
mayor's
office
and
the
elected.
D
D
The
capital
budget,
on
the
other
hand,
are
the
city's
public
facing
assets
that
you,
as
residents,
would
interact
with
so
you're
driving
on
a
city
street
that
was
paid
for
with
capital
dollars.
You
go
to
a
city
park
or
playground
the
improvements
there
have
been
made
with
city
capital
dollars,
and
then
I
don't
know
if
we
touched
on
this
at
all
earlier
in
the
presentation,
but
a
big
distinction
between
the
capital
budget
and
the
operating
budget
is
that
money
that's
budgeted
on
the
operating
side.
D
If
it's
not
spent
at
the
end
of
the
year,
it
it's
gone,
it's
use
it
or
lose
it,
and
then
it
lapses
into
that
fund
balance
or
our
city
savings
account.
Basically,
that
patrick
had
mentioned
earlier.
Capital
budget
money
doesn't
expire
at
the
end
of
a
given
year.
It's
out
there
until
the
project
is
delivered
and
if
a
project
is
completed
and
comes
in
under
budget
we're
able
to
via
legislation,
move
that
to
other
needs.
So
we're
not
unnecessarily.
D
You
know
authorizing
more
money
if
we
still
have
more
that
we
can
kind
of
move
around
to
meet
our
current
needs.
So
this
map,
that
is
on
the
slide,
shows
all
of
the
specific
project
locations
that
are
in
the
mayor's
2021
capital
budget
that
was
proposed
last
week.
So
this
isn't
the
official
2021
capital
budget
that
isn't
going
to
be
determined
until
next
month.
So
in
that
final
document,
these
dots
might
change,
there
might
be
some
new
ones
added.
D
There
might
be
some
ones
taken
out,
but
there'll
be
an
update
to
this
map
and
then
there's
also
on
the
city
website,
a
cool
tool
used
or
called
berg's
eye
view.
It's
like
an
interactive
gis
layer
that
will
include
all
the
locations
for
the
2021
capital
budget,
so
you're
actually
able
to
click
on
them
and
see
what
it
is,
how
much
it
costs
and
then
get
a
status
update
for
that
work.
D
So
that
includes
everything
in
the
capital
budget,
but
it
also
includes
things
like
you
know:
3-1
311,
requests
or
citations
really
pretty
much
anything
that
the
city
would
have
to
report
on
you.
You
can
pull
out
a
bird's-eye
view.
It's
it's
pretty
neat.
I
honestly
use
it
more
personally
than
I
do
for
work
next
slide.
D
So
what
is
a
capital
project?
These
bullets
here
are
in
city
code
and
they
are
our
own
internal
policy,
basically
that
we've
established
for
ourselves
for
how
we
distinguish
between
what
lives
with
me
or
what
lives
with
patrick.
So
when
we're
determining
what
the
budgeted
item
where,
where
we'll
live,
how
we
can
pay
for
it,
this
is
kind
of
the
checklist
that
we're
working
through.
We
need
to
determine
if
it's
going
to
be
an
improvement
to
a
city.
D
We're
not
paying
for
for
improvements
to
private
entities.
We
need
a
minimum
value
of
fifty
thousand
dollars.
We
want
capital
projects
to
last
a
certain
amount
of
time.
We
want
them
to
last
at
least
five
years
and
then,
if
we're
going
to
use
debt
to
pay
for
the
project,
we
want
the
the
life
cycle,
the
lifespan
of
that
project
to
at
least
last.
As
long
as,
however
long
it
was
we're
paying
back
the
debt.
D
D
D
So
this
is
our
annual
capital
budget
process.
There
is
a
fair
amount
of
overlap
here
between
the
timeline
that
patrick
outlined
kind
of
our
big
dates
that
are
set
in
the
home
rule
charter.
We
overlap
between
operating
in
the
capital
budget,
so
our
process,
you
know
we
also
have
the
the
budget-
is
effective.
Each
year
on
january
1st
our
process
kicks
off
every
year
in
april,
in
the
spring,
when
the
mayor
proposes
a
set
of
overarching
priorities
to
guide
the
selection
and
submission
of
proposals
for
the
next
year's
budget.
D
So
for
the
2021
capital
budget,
the
mayor's
priorities
were
equity,
critical
infrastructure
mobility,
housing,
children
and
families,
neighborhood
empowerment,
workforce
and
entrepreneurship,
critical
communities,
green
infrastructure,
climate
and
arts,
culture
and
open
space.
So
these
aren't
tied
to
specific
proposals.
D
They're
thematic
they're
meant
to
inform
what
departments
are
going
to
propose
for
the
next
year's
budget,
so
in
may,
with
these
priorities
in
mind,
omb
issues,
a
request
for
proposals
to
departments
internally
to
municipal
authorities,
so
this
would
be
like
the
ura,
the
urban
redevelopment
authority
or
pwsa,
and
then
to
external
organizations
who
we've
partnered
with.
We
have
relationships
with
from
working
on
capital
projects
in
the
past,
so
an
example
for
that
would
be
we've
collaborated
in
the
past,
with
with
like
pittsburgh
or
healthy
ride
for
those
sorts
of
projects.
D
In
june,
we
have
capital
budget
public
hearings.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
who's
attending.
This
call
has
also
been
to
any
of
those
in
the
past
pre-covet.
These
were
in-person
meetings.
We
would
pick
two
new
locations
each
year.
We
have
a
schedule
that
we
rotate
through
two
different
council
districts
every
year,
so
we're
able
to
kind
of
spread
out
the
geography
for
where
these
meetings
are
occurring
because
of
covet
in
2020.
D
So
we're
able
to
kind
of
focus
on
different
topics
for
for
types
of
projects
that
are
funded
with
the
capital
budget
and
and
have
attendees
direct
questions
to
department,
heads
directors,
subject
matter,
experts
from
the
city
and
then
on
july,
1st
every
year
is
when
the
deadline
for
proposals
for
the
next
year
is
projects
are,
and
then
we
spend
july
through
the
end
of
september,
through
september
30th
meeting
with
departments
and
authorities
who
have
submitted
proposals,
and
this
is
done
by
what
is
also
in
city
code.
D
It's
called
the
cpfc
which
is
on
this
slide
here.
That's
the
capital
program
facilitation
committee.
So
that's
an
inter-governmental
committee.
That's
made
up
of
representatives
from
the
mayor's
administration
from
city,
council
and
the
controller's
office,
so
that
formal
overarching
committee
includes
department,
directors,
actual
city
council
members.
The
representatives
who
are
attending
these
meetings
with
departments
to
govern
proposals
is
a
smaller
subset
of
that
big
committee.
D
So,
in
a
typical
summer,
between
july
and
august,
my
schedule
is
booked
with
usually
about
25
meetings,
running
up
to
two
hours
in
length
to
go
over
all
of
the
proposals
that
we
receive
and
that's
hundreds
of
proposals.
I
think
this
year
was
around
400
450
proposals
that
we
we
received
for
the
2021
capital
budget.
So
we
get,
we
get
a
lot
of
participation,
which
is
always
very
good,
but
it
also
makes
the
decision-making
process
very
difficult.
D
So
this
next
part
is
where
we
have
significant
overlap
with
the
operating
budget.
We
have
the
same
deadlines
that
they
do
for
the
end
of
the
year,
for
when
the
budget
has
to
be
proposed.
We
also
have
that
same
september
budget
that
has
to
be
presented
on
september
30th
the
same
with
the
capital
budget
for
2020.
I
D
Maybe
late
august
early
september
that
that
got
rid
of
that
just
for
2020,
so
we
did
not
have
a
september
budget
this
year
and
then
last
monday
the
mayor
formally
proposed
his
budget
to
city
council
and
again,
like
the
operating
budget.
The
capital
budget
is
in
the
hands
of
city
council
right
now,
so
amendments
they'll
they'll
take
those
up
and
vote
on
them
and
then
the
administration
is
also
able
to
propose
amendments
on
our
end,
practically
speaking
on
the
capital
budget
side.
D
That
might
be
things
like
if
there
was
a
grant
application
that
we
had
in
the
mayor's
budget
and
in
between
the
mayor's
budget
being
proposed
and
the
capital
budget
being
enacted,
we
found
out,
we
were
rejected
for
the
grant
application.
We
might
submit
an
amendment
to
city
council
saying
hey:
can
you
zero
out
this
line?
You
know
we're
actually
not
receiving
this
grant.
You
know
we
shouldn't
have
that
in
there
and
then
council
votes
on
the
budget
in
december
and
annex
the
document.
D
D
Different
funding
streams
that
we
use
to
pay
for
capital
projects,
but
dollar
amount.
The
largest
is
typically
via
municipal
bonds.
This
is
money
that
we're
borrowing
it's
functionally
similar
to
taking
out
a
mortgage
to
having
a
car
loan.
D
D
It's
a
lot
of
work
to
issue
municipal
bond.
There's
lots
of
hurdles.
You
have
to
go
through
with
the
state
government
federal
government,
violent
paperwork,
getting
clearances.
It
takes
about
six
months
of
work
to
do
this
so
in
between
actually
working
on
the
budget
and
doing
the
bond
issuances.
I
have
a
pretty
busy
schedule.
Throughout
the
year
we
finance
the
debt
that
we
take
out.
Typically
over
the
course
of
20
years.
Our
interest
rates
recently
have
been
below
five
percent,
usually
in
the
three
to
four
percent
range.
D
Again,
we
want
the
assets
that
we're
financing
with
municipal
bonds
to
last,
at
least
as
long
as
the
debt
that
we're
taking
out
so
kind
of
a
real
world
example
for
the
capital
budget.
Is
we
don't
use
bond
money
to
pay
for
I.t
projects
for
information
technology
projects,
because,
frankly,
the
shelf
life
on
those
tends
to
not
be
that
long
in
a
example
that
I've
kind
of
used
in
the
past
would
be?
D
If
we
had
used
bonds
to
pay
for
windows
95
in
the
mid
90s,
we
would
have
been
paying
off
the
debt
for
that
improvement
until
2015.
So
we
would
have
been
way
off
of
using
windows
95,
but
we'd
still
be
paying
interest
on
doing
that
every
year.
It's
not
again,
that's
really
not
a
great
way
to
spend
that
money
and
kind
of
a
framing
device
that
we
look
at
for
using
municipal
bonds
for
using
this
form
of
debt.
Is
that
we're
we're
spreading
the
the
cost
of
the
improvement
across?
D
D
If
you
just
do
that
improvement
out
of
one
year's
funds,
it's
just
the
residents
of
the
city
from
that
one
particular
year
who
shoulder
the
financial
burden
for
that
improvement.
If
you're
using
the
municipal
debt
for
it
yeah.
You
know
there
is
the
interest
payments
that
you're
making
on
that,
but
you're
spreading
that
out
over
people
who
are
going
to
move
into
the
city
in
10
years
and
are
also
going
to
be
driving
back
and
forth
on
that
bridge
every
day
or
people
are
going
to
be.
D
You
know
who
are
just
being
born
and
in
16
years,
they're
going
to
get
a
driver's
license
and
then
they're
going
to
be
driving
across
that
bridge
every
day.
So
that's
kind
of
the
story
on
municipal
bonds,
oh
and
then.
Actually
one
last
note
here:
there
are
lots
of
federal
rules
that
come
with
municipal
bonds,
so
the
irs
has
lots
of
hoops
that
we
have
to
go
through,
but
lots
of
things
that
are
designed
to
prevent
any
kind
of
trickiness
wonkiness
that
you
know
you
might
think
of
with
municipal
bonds.
D
That
municipalities
may
have
tried
in
decades
past.
So
we're
not
allowed
to
issue
municipal
bonds
and
say
hey,
let's
issue
like
100
100
million
dollars
and
then
we'll
invest
all
the
money.
We
won't
spend
it
on
anything
and
then
we'll
just
shave
off
the
interest,
earnings
and
we'll
get
money
that
way
not
allowed
to
do
that.
D
That's
a
no-no
and
then
just
in
general
you're
not
allowed
to
issue
the
bonds
and
then
just
say
we
don't
really
have
anything
that
we
need
this
for
right
now,
but
the
interest
rates
are
really
low
right
now
we
really
should
take
advantage
of
that
issue,
100
million
dollars
and
then
we'll
just
sit
on
it
and
for
three
or
four
years
until
things
come
up,
you
actually
need
to
spend
the
money
within
certain.
There
are
certain
spending
benchmarks
that
you
have
to
meet.
D
You're
just
not
allowed
to
sit
on
the
the
municipal
bond
money
and
then
wait
for
a
rainy
day
to
actually
spend
it.
Cdbg
the
community
development
block
grant.
This
is
money
that
we
get
from
hud
from
the
department
of
housing
and
urban
development.
We
get
it
each
year.
The
city
is
an
entitlement
grantee,
so
it's
not
a
federal
program
that
we
have
to
apply
for
every
year,
we're
just
kind
of
baked
into
the
formula
that
they
use
and
awarded
this
money
every
year
in
the
last
couple
years.
D
This
has
been
the
ballpark
of
13
to
14
million
dollars
for
2020.
It
was
about
14.2
million
dollars
and
then
for
next
year's
budget,
we're
also
estimating
14
million
dollars
that
we're
going
to
receive
as
its
name
sort
of
describes.
This
is
primarily
used
for
community
and
economic
development
work,
but
there's
also
a
fair
amount
of
meat
and
potatoes
capital
projects
that
we
direct
this
money
towards
and
then
because
it's
a
block
grant.
D
What
that
essentially
means
is
that
hud
basically
gives
the
city
a
sandbox
to
play
in
with
the
money,
and
they
say
you
know,
provided
that
you're
able
to
meet
x,
y
and
z
criteria
will
let
you
spend
the
money.
However,
you
want
for
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
it's
not
like
if
it
was
a
grant
for
a
bridge
where
it's
here's
the
grant.
It
has
to
be
spent
on
construction
of
this
particular
bridge.
That's
it
it's
not
the
way.
Cdbg
works.
We
have
a.
D
We
have
a
fair
amount
of
discretion,
and
now
we
can
direct
that
money.
There
are
national
objectives
that
hudson's
that
we
have
to
meet
using
this
money.
It
has
to
benefit
low
to
moderate
income
individuals.
That
definition
is
established
by
hud.
They
update
it
every
year.
So
it's
not
a
determination,
that's
made
by
the
city.
D
So,
if
there's
something
huge
and
dramatic
that
happened
like
kovid
were
able
to
to
use
them
cdbg
money
for
for
that
purpose,
there's
a
lot
of
reporting
that
is
required
for
cdbg.
That
is
similar
in
practice
to
the
budget
itself.
We
have
to
submit
to
hud
every
year,
what's
called
an
annual
action
plan
which
is
pretty
similar
to
a
budget
every
five
years
we
have
to
submit
a
consolidated
plan,
which
is
essentially
a
five-year
plan.
D
Every
year
we
have
to
perform
an
audit
and
also
send
that
over
to
hud
to
spend
the
hud
money
we
have
to
to
make
determinations
that
you
know
we're
spending
this
money
in
a
service
area
that
benefits
low
to
moderate
income
individuals.
We
have
to
perform
environmental
clearances.
D
We
have
to
perform
historic
clearances
before
before
we're
committed
to
actually
spend
that
money.
So
again
the
block
grant.
We
have
a
fair
amount
of
flexibility
with
it,
but
there's
a
lot
of
federal
strings
attached
to
it.
You
know
the
the
actually
we
have
to
meet
before
you
know
we're
spending
money
here,
pay
as
you
go
patrick
mentioned
earlier,
when
he
went
over
the
target
budget.
This
is
the
city's
own
money
that
we
are
taking
from
the
operating
budget
and
redirecting
it
for
the
capital
program.
G
D
D
We're
able
to
direct
we're.
D
Flexibly
is
probably
a
more
elegant
way
to
say
that
and
then
the
other
bullet
here
is
literally
just
anything
else
that
we
get
that
is
directed
towards
the
capital
program,
so
by
volume
that
is
probably
money
that
we
get
from
the
federal
highway
administration
where
they
give
the
city
money
to
match
large
infrastructure
projects.
So
if
it's
a
highway
improvement,
the
federal
government
actually
picks
up
80
of
the
tab.
For
that
it's
a
bridge
project
and
it's
on
a
regional
plan.
D
That's
adopted,
the
federal
government
and
penndot
actually
pick
up
95
of
the
tab
so
that
that's
a
really
important
funding
source
that
includes
grants
that
we
get
or
have
applied
to
that
are
that
are
supporting
the
capital
program
and
that
could
deliberately
be
from
any
any
funder.
I
mean
that
might
be
state
government,
county
government,
foundations,
non-profits
again,
others
literally
anything
else
that
falls
in
there.
D
I'm
not
going
to
be
a
presenter
who
goes
through
every
single
one
of
these
line
by
line
and
just
reads
them
off,
but
these
are
adopted
in
city
code.
They
were,
they
were
placed
in
there
in
2015.,
when
we
are
reviewing
capital
proposals
for
the
next
year.
These
are
all
weighted
differently,
so
the
score
that
somebody
might
give
to
a
project
in
a
safety
criterion
is
going
to
be
weighted
more
heavily
than
if
it
complies
with
an
adopted
plan
for
the
city.
D
So
this
pie
chart
here
then
shows
again
for
the
mayor's
proposed
2021
budget,
where
the
funding
is
all
directed.
So
these
items
here,
these
descriptions
are
what
are
called
functional
areas
and
they're
our
highest
level
of
reporting
category
in
the
capital
budget.
So
they're
kind
of
the
very
top-line
summary
for
how
we
would
describe
information,
you
know
to
internal
stakeholders
or
in
this
case,
to
the
public.
D
So
if
you're
going
kind
of
clockwise
around
starting
with
engineering
and
construction,
these
are
the
large
transportation
and
infrastructure
projects.
This
is
things
like
bridges.
This
is
things
like
landslides,
which
are
again
tremendously
expensive.
These
are
easily
seven
and
eight
figure
projects
that
take
potentially.
D
Years
to
to
complete
facility
improvement
includes
actual
facilities,
things
with
roofs
like
police
stations,
fire
stations,
but
then
also
parks
playgrounds.
We
also
consider
those
facilities
for
the
capital
budget,
neighborhood
and
community
development
provides
funding
for
a
lot
of
the
work
that
the
ura
does.
We
go
under
contract,
typically
each
year
with
the
ura
and
and
provide
funding
for
them,
because
they're
sort
of
designed
to
do
a
lot
of
the
work
for
for
those
projects.
D
That
includes
things
like
lot,
maintenance
development,
but
we
also
fund
things
like
public
art.
With
this
functional
area,
public
safety
is
essentially
entirely
now
demolition
of
condemned
buildings,
remediation
of
condemned
structures.
D
There
used
to
be
some
other
equipment
purchases
that
were
made
out
of
here,
but
in
recent
years
that's
all
been
handed
over
on
the
operating
budget
side
of
things
we
just
sort
of
restructured.
You
know
how
things
are:
aligned
between
capital
and
operating
vehicles
and
equipment.
That's
self-explanatory!
D
That's
vehicle
equipment
purchases
that
are
made
for
for
the
city's
fleet
and
the
administration
and
sub-award
is
is
essentially
just
a
pass-through
for
money.
That
is
the
cities
that
then
we're
contracting
out
to
community
organizations
or
or
cdc's
to
to
perform
work
in
communities.
D
Copy
of
it,
which,
if
this
was
in
person
there
would
be
physical,
copies
handed
out
from
table
to
table
they're
designed
to
be
flipped
open.
You
have
two
pages
for
each
project.
You
can
see
here
again
there's
the
functional
area,
we're
looking
at
bridge
upgrades.
You
can
see
in
this
kind
of
multi-colored
table
here,
there's
how
much
funding
is
allocated
to
that
project
for
the
current
year,
which
in
this
case
2020
the
budget
for
that
particular
year.
D
That's
always
going
to
be
like
the
next
year's
budget
and
then
the
next
five
years
that
make
up
the
rest
of
the
capital
improvement
plan.
D
You
can
see
the
description
for
what
exactly
it
is
that
we're
looking
at?
Why
we're
funding
this?
If
there's
going
to
be
any
impact
on
patrick's
side
of
things
and
then
how
much
money
we
have
left
over
from
from
previous
years?
So
again,
this
1.5
million
dollars.
You
know
we
if
I
were
to
you,
know
talk
to
our
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
I
would
imagine
that
they
would
say.
D
Yes,
you
know
these
projects
came
in
under
budget,
we're
looking
at
redirecting
them
to
xyz
bridges,
but
that
kind
of
gives
you
an
idea
of
of
how
much
money
we
have
out
there
that
we
can
apply
in
addition
to
what
we're
putting
into
the
next
year's
budget
and
then
on
the
right
page.
You
see
a
table
that
includes
what
we
call
deliverables
and
that's
the
most
granular
level
of
detail
that
we
have
in
the
capital
budget.
So
that
is
the
specific
locations,
the
specific
work
that
is
happening
out
of
this
project
each
year.
D
G
D
F
Yeah,
so
these
programs
are
just
some
of
the
programs
that
allow
our
residents
to
kind
of
participate
in
and,
as
an
example,
maybe
save
you
some
dollars.
The
first
one
is
the
senior
tax
relief
program.
There
are
guidelines
you
or
your
spouse
who
lives
with.
You
must
either
be
born
before
december
31,
1959
permanently
disabled
permanently
disabled
and
over
18.
proof
required.
F
So
your
application
will
be
your
application
will
be
submitted
there
and
then
it's
added
to
our
tax
system
and
that,
once
you
once
you're
approved
for
that
program,
we
add
into
our
tax
system
and
then
you're,
granted
the
the
tax
relief,
the
homestead
act
as
many
of
us
and
many
of
us
city
of
pittsburgh
residents,
including
myself,
who
are
homeowners,
take
advantage
of
this.
You
must
you
must
be
a
homeowner
of
the
property
and
occupy
the
dwelling,
and
it
has
to
be
your
primary
residence.
F
This
reduces
your
assessed
value
home
by
eighteen
thousand.
This
results
in
tax
savings
of
145
dollars,
that's
a
good
program,
but
that's
another
program
that
you
have
to
apply
for.
So,
if
you
just
recently
recently
bought
a
home,
it's
it's.
We
encourage
people
who
recently
bought
a
home
to
kind
of
participate
in
that
and
save
some
tax
dollars.
We're
not
always
collecting
we're.
Also
encouraging
these.
These
programs
as
well
and
the
homestead
is
enough.
The
school
homestead
is
another
act.
F
This
amount
can
vary
from
year
to
year,
based
on
the
revenue
received
from
gambling
proceeds
and
the
value
of
property,
so
to
be
eligible,
as
as
the
as
one
of
the
previous
programs
has
to
be
under
occupied.
So
these
are
some
of
the
programs
that
we
encourage.
If
you
have
interest
in
in
participating
and
kind
of
save
some
tax
dollars.
F
Other
programs,
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
has-
and
this
is
this-
is
a
program
that
one
of
my
favorite
programs
in
in
the
real
estate
disposition
division
is
which
I
oversee
as
well.
It
was
the
sad
yard
program.
This
is
a
low-cost
cost
minimum
of
200
to
purchase.
The
lot
must
be
deemed
unusable.
F
You
must
own
property
that
directly
border
borders,
the
vacant
land.
You
must
provide
liability
insurance,
so
how
this
program
works
is
the.
If
the
property
is
adjacent
to
your
property
or
touches
your
property
and
what's
also
missing
here
is
it
has
to
be
under
5
000
square
feet.
So
obviously
we,
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
isn't
given
a
10
000
square
foot
property
for
that
type
of
use
for
for
a
sad
yard.
F
We,
where
this
this
program
is
specifically
specifically
for
you,
encouraging
you
to
kind
of
that
free
space,
that's
next
door
to
your
property,
and
you
want
to
do
beautification.
You
want
to
do
gardens,
you
want
to
do
parking,
pads,
etc.
This
is
what
this
program
is
kind
of
for,
but
it
has
to
be
touching
your
your
property,
you
have
to
own
your
your
home
and
it
can't
be
more
than
a
two
family
home.
C
Next,
I'd
like
to
jump
into
some
resources
and
go
over
a
few
more
details.
You
know
ways
that
you,
as
city
of
pittsburgh
residents,
can
engage
with
the
budgets.
I
know
the
budget,
isn't
always
you
know
the
most
attractive
thing
to
talk
about,
but
it
is
very
important
to
know
what
is
going
on
with
your
tax
dollars.
You
know
we're
here
for
you,
we
are
stewards
of
your.
C
C
We
have
the
operating
budgets
are
available
at
the
link,
provided
we
do
have
the
mayor's
proposed
2021
budget.
We
have
budgets
going
back
years
as
well.
If
you
want
to
do
some
digging
same
with
the
capital
budgets,
this
year's
proposed
budget
is
there.
We
will
update
them
as
we
move
through
the
budgeting.
A
C
Historical
documents
are
also
available.
We
do
have
this
new
short
little
pdf
called
the
budget.
In
brief,
we're
pretty
excited
about
this,
so
we've
taken
the
400
page
operating
budget
and
the
200
300
page
capital
budget
and
we've
shrunk
it
down
to
three
pages
front
and
back
so
I
think
that's
gonna,
hopefully
do
wonders
in
allowing
everyone
to
really
comprehend
what
we're
talking
about.
So
what
that
thanks
leah,
I
see
you're
clapping.
What
that
entails
is
the
target
for
the
operating
side.
It
is
the
target
budget.
C
It
has
a
list
of
our
major
revenues.
It
has
a
list
of
operating
expenses
by
department
on
the
capital
side.
It
has
a
list
of
every
single
project
that
that
has
been
funded
for
that
current
budget
year.
So
to
please
take
a
look
at
it.
It's
I'm,
I'm
just
really
excited
about
it
and
it's
it's
gonna
be
a
cool
thing
that
was
our
director
director
paulo's
idea,
and
it's
it's
hopefully
going
to
kind
of
revolutionize
how
how
we
go
around.
C
Instead
of
carrying
around
these
massive
documents
on
the
finance
website,
there
are
links
to
descriptions
of
each
tax
type.
There
are
different
process
flows,
for
you
know:
aaron's
team,
with
how
to
buy
properties,
how
to
go
through
the
auction
process,
how
to
do
the
side,
yard
sales
etc.
C
C
I
am
still
tabulating
that
data
there
are
over
a
thousand
responses
and
it
is
giving
us
good
insight
into
what
citizens
actually
want
to
see
from
the
operating
budget.
C
This
is
complementary
to
the
capital
budget
engagement
forums
that
brendan
discussed
earlier.
This
was
our
first
year
that
we
did
an
operating
budget
forum
in
september
just
because
of
the
nature
of
the
operating
budget.
It
was
a
little
more
of
an
informational
session,
as
opposed
to
a
collaborative
group
discussion,
but
moving
forward.
We
do
hope
to
align
those
better
with
the
capital
budget.
Just
so
everyone
has
a
kind
of
you
know
early
summer
early
summer
for
the
events-
and
everyone
knows
one
will
be
every
year
berg's
eye
view
brendan
mentioned
earlier.
C
It's
a
really
cool
tool.
E
properties
shows
you
the
three
taxing
body
properties
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
on
properties
that
are
available
for
purchase,
and
we
also
have
some
some
contact
information,
the
operating
team,
but
email
address,
the
capital,
team's
email
address
and
the
real
estate
team's
email
address
brendan
or
aaron.
Is
there
anything
else
you
want
to
add
before
I
stop
sharing
the
screen
and
then
we
can
open
it
up
to
questions
not.
C
J
B
We
have
plenty
of
time
for
questions
too
before
okay,
it
looks
like
there's
two
questions
in
the
chat
and
then
if
people
want
to
start
raising
their
hands
through
zoom,
then
we
can
get
to
those
right
after
that.
So
first
bill
wanted
to
know.
Why
does
jordan
tax
services
do
the
work?
Is
it
bid
out
every
year
and
they
just
win
it
year
after
year?
What
does
that
process?
Look
like.
C
So
that
is
part
of
the
state
tax
reform
law
from
a
few
years
ago,
split
up
taxing
in
two
different
districts
and
we
are
the
allegheny
central
tax
district
and
jordan
tax
services
was
chosen
as
our
provider.
C
B
Cool
and
then
guys
just
so,
you
know,
I'm
gonna
switch
off
of
the
chat,
I'm
just
doing
the
two
that
were
in
the
chat
and
then
we
can
use
our
hands
and
then
for
the
homestead
act.
How
do
you
apply
for
that?
Aaron.
F
B
H
Thank
you.
You
made
it
very
clear
that
the
city
just
applies
a
millage
rate
to
assessments
that
are
ascertained
by
the
county.
In
my
experience,
that's
highly
unusual,
can
you
explain
how
that
came
to
be
and
whether
it's
okay
with
the
city
or
there's
some
history
of
efforts
to.
F
H
I
I'm
surprised
that
the
county
is
doing
the
assessments
and,
and
the
city
just
applies,
the
military.
It
seems
backwards
from
every
place.
I've
been,
and
I
don't
understand,
I'd
like
to
understand
how
that
evolved
and
whether
the
city
generally
considers
it
okay
or
there's
a
movement
afoot
to
change
that
and
take
control
of
the
assessment
process.
F
F
I'm
not
certain
it
that
varies
from
municipality,
but
the
allegheny
county.
Our
municipality
is
governed
off
of
that
and
there's
actually
that
the
second
class
city
act.
If
you
take
a
look
at
that,
it
goes
to
that
in
detail
as
well.
It's
it's
also
in
that
covenant
as
well.
C
I'll
comment
a
little
more
on
that
too,
so
I'm
originally
from
maryland.
So
you
know
as
a
transplant
to
pennsylvania.
One
of
the
first
things
that
I
quickly
learned
was
that
I
had
no
idea
what
a
municipality
really
was.
You
know
I
didn't
know
what
a
township
or
a
borough
or
a
village
or
you
know
whatever
was
but
the
thing
about
the
commonwealth
of
pennsylvania
is.
C
There
are
a
lot
of
functions
that
we
cannot
do
as
a
local
government,
because
those
powers
were
not
expressly
granted
to
us
via
the
state,
and
so
the
way
that
this
has
been
structured
in
pennsylvania
is
by
population
size.
So,
like
aaron
mentioned,
we
are
a
city
of
the
second
class
and
philadelphia
is
the
only
city
of
the
first
class.
You
know
that's
over
a
million
people
we
are
at
300
000,
give
or
take.
So
until
we
get
to
a
million
people.
C
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
are
unable
to
do,
because
the
state
does
not
grant
us
the
authority
to
do
so,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
philadelphia
is
able
to
do
things
like
you
know,
implement
different
types
of
taxes.
You
know
commuter
tax
or
the
soda
tax.
That
was
in
the
news
a
few
years
ago.
Things
like
that.
We
we
cannot
do
it
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
it
makes
new
revenue
sources
very
difficult,
because
there
has
to
be
some
state
consensus
and
change
to
move
forward.
F
B
K
C
Fascinating
question:
I'm
gonna
love
this
hypothetical
thought
process.
I
don't
know
what
it
would
look
like.
You
know.
I
think
the
the
way
that
again
pennsylvania
has
set
it
up
is
voters
in
both
our
municipality
and
the
proposed
annex
municipality
would
have
to
vote
for
the
approval.
I
imagine
that
well
one
that
would
be
an
increase
in
the
tax
base
in
terms
of
real
estate.
You
know
income
tax
things
of
that
nature,
so
that
would
help
bring
in
more
money
and
then
the
flip
side
would
be
figuring
out.
C
C
Do
think
are
really
interesting
to
consider
related,
not
absolutely
not
referencing
annexation,
but
there
are
some
shared
agreements.
For
example,
we
do
provide
fire
services
for
ingram
and
wilkinsburg,
you
know,
and
that
is
done
via
an
intergovernmental
agreement.
So
so
things
like
who
owns
the
fire
truck
who
owns
the
building,
you
know
what?
What
is
the
payment
schedule?
C
Look
like
those
are
all
worked
out
via
lawyers
and
negotiations,
so
I
imagine
that
same
process
would
have
to
to
to
go
through
and
I
imagine
it
would
take
a
good
amount
of
time,
but
that.
D
Yeah
I
mean
you'd
have
to
figure
out
the
alignment
between
what
municipal
services
they
were
providing
versus
what
the
city
provides
cynically
going
back
to
the
previous
work
pessimistically
going
back
to
the
previous
answer,
we're
still
constrained
by
the
city
of
the
second
class
provision
with
the
state
up
until
hypothetically
in
this
thought,
exercise
you'd
pass
over.
You
know
a
population
of
a
million
people.
I
think.
D
C
Just
an
interesting
tidbit
too
so
I
said
I
I'm
originally
from
maryland,
I'm
from
howard
county
and
we
have
exactly
zero
municipalities
in
howard
county.
It's
all
unincorporated
area,
and
then
you
know,
allegheny
county,
I
think,
is
130
different
municipalities
varying
in
yeah,
a
thousand
to
us
at
300
000..
D
Now
I'm
the
opposite
of
patrick
and
grew
up
here
and
went
out
of
the
area
for
graduate
school
and
did
not
know
that
this
was
not
the
case
until
I
left
pittsburgh
and
I
remember
giving
a
presentation
to
a
class
in
grad
school
and
showing
a
map
of
allegheny
county
with
130
municipalities
and
people.
Gasped
they'd,
never.
C
Do
and
the
way
that
school
districts
work
it's
crazy,
just
in
general.
A
thought
off
of
that
is
it's
important
to
realize,
then
that
we
do
have
a
separate
county
government
city
government
and
the
school
district
is
its
own,
separate
government.
You
know,
then
you
add
in
pwsa
and
the
ura
there
are
just.
There
are
many
different
components:
the
port
authority.
You
know
where
that's
not
us,
so
it's
always
interesting
to
think
about
what
the
different
services
are
and
who's
actually
responsible
for
them.
B
Thanks
darrell.
G
Oh,
hey,
yeah,
sorry
yeah,
so
my
question
erica
was
actually
earlier
in
the
presentation
and
I
guess
more
for
the
real
estate.
I
was
just
wondering
what
the
what
makes
up
the
fair
market
value
for
properties.
They
were
saying
there
was
like
a
formula
to
determine
what
you
know
what
makes
properties
like
what
what
makes
their
work.
So
I
was
wondering
what
that
fair
market
value
was
and
what
what
constitutes
that
that
part
of
the
equation.
F
Typically,
the
the
fair
market
value
is
when,
in
terms
of
assessment,
is
what
the
value
of
your
property
is.
So
as
an
example,
if
your
property,
if
if
your
neighboring
property,
goes
off
the
comparables
of
your
neighborhood,
so
if
your
neighboring
property
is
50
000,
somebody
else
is
60
000
and
then
you're.
Let's
say:
70
000.
they're
going
to
take
a
they're
going
to
take
a
fair
market
value
of
those
three
properties
and
that's
how
they
will
arrive
at
what
the
fair
market
value
in
terms
of
your
property
is.
F
The
assessed
value
also
is
is
generated
from
and
people
can
we
I
encourage
people,
you
can
also
get
your
own
fair
market
value
in
your
property.
You,
you
have
an
appraisal
done
on
your
property,
so
you
can
always
contest
what
the
county
county
has
deemed
as
fair
market
in
terms
of
value.
Your.
B
E
I
have
a
question
that
pertains
to
myself
and
I
had
a
sidewalk
repair
done
by
me
and
reimbursed
my
city
pittsburgh.
Can
you
tell
me
what
part
of
the
budget
that
that
comes
from.
E
C
I
agree:
I
believe
that
is
a
ura
program,
so
the
urban
redevelopment
authority
of
pittsburgh-
it's
one
of
our-
you
know
related
yet
independent
groups,
and
they
they
typically
do
a
lot
of
programming
that
that
works
to
make
improvements.
It
could
also
have
been
a
housing
authority
program.
I
I.
E
You
tell
me
or
relate
to
that
as
in
wanted
to
see
pittsburgh's
ways
of
doing
assessments.
B
E
B
Busy,
I
know
that
they
do
have,
they
do
send
inspectors
for
that
aaron
do
you
have
I.
F
Was
going
to
say
I
was
going
to
say
I
mean
I
I'm
obviously
don't
work
in
pli
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
them,
but
I'm
certain
you,
you
probably
would
have
received
some
type
of
notification
of
that.
So
they
wouldn't
just
come.
They
would
send
you
a
notification
first
and
then
that
notification
would
identify.
F
C
B
All
right,
edward.
J
Yeah,
maybe
I
didn't
catch
the
whole
discussion,
but
do
you
guys
have
any
ideas
about
how
we're
ever
going
to
get
away
from
this
crazy
system
of
multiple
municipalities
and
services
spread
all
over
the
place?
Is
there
any
way?
Out
of
this
I
mean
I
wish
there
was
some
way
to
just
command
the
municipalities
to
join
together,
but,
as
I
understand
it
has
to
be
a
voluntary
thing,
it
just
seems
like
a
almost
an
impossible
situation,
but
maybe
you
guys
have
some
better
ideas
about
it.
C
I
I
do
know
that
I
think
it
was
within
the
past
year,
county
executive
fitzgerald.
You
know
re
free,
raise.
That's
not
a
word,
discuss
the
the
idea
of
consolidation
and
disincorporation
you're
right.
You
know
it's
a
voluntary
thing
and
I
I
think
that
a
lot
of
the
smaller
municipalities
are
proud
of
their
their
status.
You
know
some
of
them
might
have
gotten
their
incorporation
specifically
because
they're
small
steel
towns
or
you
know,
they're
all
farmsteads.
C
You
know,
there's
there's
some
reason
that
link
them
together
and
typically
they're
proud
of
of
their
independence.
It
would
be
very
interesting
to
see
what
happens
and
I
I
don't
know
what
would.
J
I
mean
to
me,
it
just
seems
like
the
one.
The
communities
that
are
under
resourced
would
be
the
ones
most
likely
to
want
to
join
in
a
larger
entity
with
the
city,
and
those
that
are
well
off
would
not,
and
I
wish
there
was
some
way
by
referendum
or
doing
something
that
just
forced
this
to
happen.
I
mean,
I
just
don't
know
it's
just
such
a
crazy
system,
and
almost
anybody
would
realize
that.
C
Sure
and
it's
I
mean
it's
out
of
our
purview,
but
we
are
seeing
more
instances
of
you
know:
inner
and
outer
ring
municipalities
grouping
together
for
consolidated
policing
services
for
consolidated
fire
services.
Vfds.
You
know
third
party
ems
providers.
B
F
Yes,
is
the
amusement
tax
gonna
go
up
next.
B
Okay,
yeah,
that
was,
that
was
an
easy
one.
We
have
another
in
the
chat.
How
is
the
purchase
price
determined
for
city
owned
vacant
property.
F
So
the
city
city
purchase
property.
F
It's
determined
the
same
way
that
any
real
estate
company
would
would
determine,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
based
on
square
footage
based
on
grade
of
the
property
based
on
proximity,
just
every
every
every
incident
to
every
instance,
that
of
the
property
that
would
encompass
value
and
it
also
goes
off
comparable.
F
So
I
always
tell
people
you
know
you,
the
the
value
of
your
house,
you
want,
you
wouldn't
want
to
sell
it
less
than
what
what
what
what
you
could
profit
off
of.
So
it's
very
similar
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
We're
looking
we're
looking
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
fair
market
value
and
that
the
property
is
is
reasonable
for
purchase.
So
we
we
use
comparables,
we
use
square
footage.
We
use
everything
that
a
real
estate
company
does
we
in
terms
of
disposition,
we
operate
in
the
same
capacity.
K
Ally,
yeah
hi,
just
a
finance
question,
so
32
percent
of
revenue
comes
from
real
estate.
I'm
curious!
What
share,
if
you
can
say,
is
commercial
is
compared
to
non-commercial
sources.
F
Real
estate
is
just
all
real
estate,
so
it's
not
so
as
an
example,
commercial
building
downtown
their
taxable
amount
is
what
the
assessed
value
of
their
property
is.
So
it
wouldn't
be
any
different
in
terms
of
that
in
terms
of
how
we
calculate
and
then
all
of
it
all
of
it's
just
rolled
together,
it's
not
like
there's
a
separate
amount
for
commercial
or
xyz,
but
I'm
sure
we
can
get
that
information
for
you
if
we
can
break
it
out
of
our
commercial
properties
to
our
single
family,
resident
and
multi-family.
K
K
There
are
a
lot
of
you
know,
buildings
that
are,
you
know,
assets
of
major
companies,
so
just
be
interesting
to
see
how
the
you
know,
revenue
stream
is
shaped
by
you
know
some
pretty
large
properties
and
taxes
on
them.
So.
F
Yeah
to
us,
to
be
honest,
it's
just
it's
all
taxable
money,
so
we're
just
like.
F
B
Yeah,
I'm
sure
that
there
is
some
record
of
a
breakdown
of
those
that
we
would
be
able
to
find
and
sort
of.
Maybe.
B
Yeah:
okay,
thank
you,
aaron
and
ally,
jacob.
I
A
I
With
the
the
you
want,
your
capital
expenditure
to
last
at
least
five
years,
but
I'm
not
certain
of
that.
D
D
In
the
early
2010s,
it
was
also
a
five-year
capital
budget.
The
change
to
six
years
was
made
before
my
time,
and
none
of
the
people
who
are
here
at
that
point
of
time
are
still
here,
so
it's
sort
of
frankly
a
mystery
right
now.
For
for
why?
That's
not
in
complete
alignment,
patrick,
I
don't
know
if
you
happen
to
know.
D
Or
structurally
like
why
you
know,
I
mean
obviously
you're
right.
I
mean
it's
a
six
year
capital
plan,
because
these
are
multi-year
projects
like
we
need
to
have
that
in
order
to
do
that
kind
of
planning-
and
you
know
in
in
years
past,
when
we
were
under
state
oversight
and
capital
resources
were
more
limited.
We
would
have
these
kind
of
what
I
would
call
like
piggy
bank
capital
budgets
where
money
was
scarce.
D
You
know,
okay,
so
you
know
we're
able
to
get
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
this
project.
That's
gonna
cost
a
million
dollars
this
year
and
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
next
year.
You
know
we'll
just
cobble
them
together
over
a
couple
years
and
then
eventually
we'll
be
able
to
deliver
a
whole
project.
D
A
D
You
know
if
we
commit
to
in
2021
we're
going
to
design
something
design,
an
improvement.
Then
we're
saying
all
right.
We
are
dedicated
now
to
paying
for
the
construction,
for
that,
we're
not
just
going
to
design
something
and
then
not
do
anything
else.
So
that's
where
that
multi-year
planning
is
is
valuable,
because
then
you
can
look
at
that
chart,
you
can
see
all
right.
C
I
don't
see
anything.
You
know
coming
up.
It's
section
508
article
5
of
our
homeworld
charter.
You
know
which
insinuates
that
it
it
hasn't
changed
for
a
while.
C
D
That
was
his
explanation
for
me
for
what
it
looked
like.
You
know,
10
years
ago,.
C
As
an
aside,
it's
nice
that
we
didn't
really
have
to
talk
about
financial
oversight.
You
know
from
2004
through
2018.
It
was
rough.
The
kind
of
story
I
had
always
heard
anecdotally
was
that
back
in
2003,
the
city
wasn't
able
was
not
going
to
be
able
to
make
the
next
payroll.
C
You
know
in
our
payrolls
every
two
weeks,
so
it's
that's
problematic,
so
to
be
able
to
have
turned
things
around
turned
things
around.
It
required
a
lot
of
dedication.
You
know
for
long
time,
residents
2003,
2004,
2005,
there
were
cuts
everywhere.
C
You
know,
pools
closed
senior
centers
closed
workforce
was
laid
off
like
it
wasn't
pretty,
which
now
that
I'm
thinking
about
it
is
the
exact
words
that
I
used
at
the
beginning
of
this.
You
know
just
to
to
underline
how
how
dire
it
is
of
a
scenario
but
act.
Usually
we
used
to
have
to
talk
about
act
47,
and
we
don't
have
to
do
that.
It's
it's
nice
to
not
have
to
do
that.
Explain.
D
B
C
They
they
there
literally
were
private
consultants
paid
by
the
state
who
would
tear
apart
the
budget
line
by
line
and
say
why
did
you
do
this?
Why
did
you
do
that?
This
shouldn't
have
increased
that
much?
What
is
the
purpose
of
this?
It
was.
It
was
a
lot
to
do
and
that's
why
we
had
to
have
a
budget
ready
for
them
in
september,
so
that
we
could
make
our
own
november
deadline.
B
Right
kelsey.
L
All
right
yeah,
so
I
was
wondering
about
the
mainly
about
the
capital
budget
and
how
much
changes
once
it
goes
from
the
mayor
to
the
to
city
council.
So
this,
like
final
phase
and
I
think
brendan-
you
had
mentioned
that
there
might
just
be
like
corrections
as
new
information
comes
in
about
grants.
L
D
H
D
D
Earlier
in
the
process
that
that
you
know
things
are
less
solidified
than
they
are
by
the
time
the
mayor
presents
the
budget
to
city
council
like
we're
handing
over
a
document
then,
and
city
council
can
do
whatever
they
want
with
it.
You
know
they
they
could
start
from
scratch
if
they
wanted
to,
but
it
is
a
whole
document
versus
you
know.
D
When
we
have
those
meetings
in
june-
and
it's
you
know
more
kind
of
mushy
play-doh
that
we're
just
putting
together
at
that
time
and
then,
as
far
as
changes
to
the
capital
budget,
I
think
the
the
grant
example
that
I
exp
that
I
had
used
was.
There
are
two
sets
of
amendments
that
happen,
so
there
is
what
are
called
the
administration
amendments
and
patrick
aaron,
and
I
are
all
representatives
of
the
administration.
You
know
we
we
work
for
the
mayor,
so
those
are
sort
of
more
technical
changes
that
we
would.
D
We
would
propose
kind
of
the
big
policy
changes
at
that
point.
That's
kind
of
really
in
city
council's
hands.
To
do
I
mean
if
they,
if
they,
you
know,
want
to
steer
the
capital
budget
or
the
operating
budget
for
that
matter,
in
a
different
direction
than
what
the
mayor
has
proposed?
That's
their
chance
to
do
that.
You
know
we're
kind
of
we're
kind
of
making
technical
changes
on
the
margins
more.
At
that
point,.
L
D
Been
an
instance
that
I'm
familiar
with
where
city
council
has
completely
thrown
out
the
capital
budget
and
started
from
scratch,
but
they
will
transfer
money
around.
You
know
they.
They,
you
know,
may
have
different
priorities
than
the
mayor
does
and
they'll
they'll
move
things
around
to
you
know
meet
what
their
priorities
are.
You
know
where
they
feel
you
know,
money
should
be
spent,
and
that
I
mean
that's
the
way
that
the
that
it's
you.
G
C
It's
it's
checks
and
balances.
You
know
it's
the
same
structure
as
the
federal
government
with
the
president
introducing
something
and
then
the
house
and
senate
voting
on
it.
You
know
it's.
We
have
the
administrative
branches,
the
mayor's
office
and
the
departments,
the
legislative
branches,
council
and
the
city
clerk
and
the
controller's
office
is
its
own
separate
entity
as
well
as
as
the
financial
checks
and
balances
strange.
D
B
All
right,
thank
you.
Matt.
M
In
one
of
the
pie,
graphs
on
revenue,
there's
a
in
the
index
there's
a
heading
for
non-profit
payments
of
services,
but
in
the
actual
graph
it
doesn't
appear,
and
I'm
wondering
if
that's
just
the
because
there
are
no
non-profit
payments
and
services
or
if
that's
just
like
an
aspirational
idea
that
we
have
never
achieved.
C
Good
question
important
topic,
so
there
is
a
number
there.
It
is
comparatively
insignificant
that
it
shows
up
as
a
zero
and
the
the
tax
monies
that
come
in
for
that
particular
line
are
associated
with
very
specific.
C
Functions
of
nonprofits
that
are
acting
in
the
capacity
of
a
private
business
so
but
within
the
context
of
tax
code,
so
a
clear
example
would
be.
You
know.
The
housing
authority
has
some
properties
that
they
rent
out
at
marked
value
that
they
would
need
to
disclose
the
pilots.
The
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes
is
a
great
topic
as
of
right.
C
Now,
at
this
point
you
know
we
don't
have
monies
coming
in
from
the
universities,
some
of
the
non-profit
hospitals,
but
you
know
who's
to
say
what
what
might
happen
in
the
future.
It
would
help
I'll
say
that
it
would
help
a
lot,
but
you
know
again
some
of
that.
Nonprofit
tax
code
is
at
the
federal
level.
So
if
there
were
a
way
for
the
state
to
allow
us
to
do
something
creative,
then
we
could
consider
more
options.
Otherwise,
it's
negotiating
lawyer
to
lawyer.
You
know,
let's
pay
in
lieu
of
taxes,
there.
C
Example,
we
have
a
cooperation
agreement
with
pwsa,
for
you
know
water
and
water
services.
Excuse
me
and
part
of
our
agreement.
Is
they
do
kind
of
an
earned
income
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes?
So
there.
C
B
I
think
yep
that's
pretty
universal,
I
think
so.
Let's
look
back
around
to
larry.
H
Thank
you.
I
was
a
little
stunned
by
the
pie
chart
of
expenses.
I
am
accustomed
to
seeing
benefits
in
the
range
of
maybe
30
to
50
of
salaries.
We're
running
87
and
I'd
like
to
know
the
history
of
that
ratio.
Has
it
been
85
90
percent
steadily
has
been
growing
over
time?
Did
something
cause
it
to
spike
and
do
you
feel
it's
sustainable.
C
So,
as
I
mentioned
before,
pension
is
one
of
the
most
extreme
legacy
costs
that
we
are
reacting
to
and
again
you
know
for
retired
employees.
This
isn't
a
benefit
that
we
can
just
take
away.
You
know
it
has
been
earned
in
1998
and
brendan
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
we
were
so
close
to
not
being
able
to
make
pension
payments
that
we
had
to
take
out
special
bonds
to
float
the
pension
fund.
C
A
C
A
portion
of
them
either
so
it
we've
teetered
very
dangerously
close
to
being
insolvent
in
our
pension
fund
in
2000,
and
I
believe
it
was
11..
There
was
kind
of
a
restructuring
and
we
committed
to
pull
a
portion
of
our
parking
taxes
for
the
pittsburgh
pension
plan.
So
there's
a
municipal
plan,
a
fire
plan
and
a
police
plan
and
those
all
come
together
as
the
comprehensive
pension
plan.
C
So
we're
pulling
a
portion
of
our
parking
revenues
basically
in
perpetuity.
You
know
it
was
set
as
a
fixed
length
of
time
and
we've
kind
of
rounded
the
corner.
In
that
we
know
we
need
to
fund
more
than
just
what
the
state
says
we
need
to
fund.
If
we
were
only
funding
the
mmo,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
to
make
all
the
payments
we
need
to,
and
I
will
say
also
that
the
state
takes
over
your
pension.
C
If
you
fall
below
50
of
your
funding
ratio
right
now,
we
are
at
hovering
over
just
over
60
and
that's
with
you
know
the
market
tanked
and
then
the
market
rebounded
and
we're
still
hovering
at
around
60
61..
So
we're
called
a
distress
level.
C
Two
and
like
I
said
the
mayor's
commitment
to
paying
what
our
actuaries
recommend
we
pay
as
opposed
to
what
the
state
says
we
must
pay
is,
is
helping
keep
it
sustainable,
it's
in
a
much
better
place
than
it
was,
and
if
the
administration
and
council
continue
to
move
forward
in
that
direction,
I
do
think
it
will
remain
solvent.
C
Let
me
pull
that.
I
don't
want
to
give
you
the
wrong
number,
so
I
will
just
pull
it
up
for
you
real
fast,
but
if
anyone
else
wants
to
make
a
comment,
while
I
look
that
up,
please
by
all
means
go
for
it.
C
B
Okay,
patrick,
maybe
just
jump
in
when
you
grab
that,
so
we
have
andrea
alley
and
edward.
If
you
have
a
question,
please
raise
your
hand,
otherwise,
we'll
probably
round
it
out
with
these
three
so
andrea.
E
E
F
F
F
F
No,
what
what
will
happen
is
the
that
information
is
reported
to
the
county
and
when
they
do
their
when
they
do
their
assessments
and
their
their
evaluation
of
the
properties.
F
They
will
note
that
and
that
that
that
raising
of
the
property
and
that
new
assessed
value
will
come
over
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
then
we'll
we'll
start
we'll
start
we'll
start
making
the
billing
on
that
taxable
amount
that
was
incurred
after
the
structure
was
raised.
E
F
Well,
what
happens
is:
is
the
city
of
pittsburgh
isn't
responsible
for,
for
that,
the
count
the
allegheny
county
will
be
responsible
for
that
I
can't
speak
for
them
on
how
they
do
it,
but
my
assumption
is
that
they
they
do
some
type
of
value
assessment
and
that's
reported.
All
properties
that
are
raised
are
reported
so
somehow
that
data
is
filtered
to
them
and
then
they
they
make
the
the
adjustment
so
as
an
example,
once
a
property-
let's,
let's
hypothetically,
take
a
property
in-
let's
say
the
garfield
area.
B
Andrea,
I
can
also,
if,
if
you
do
need
help
getting
in
touch
with
the
county,
I
can
help
you
with
that.
Thank
you,
ali.
B
C
So
our
mmo,
the
minimum
municipal
obligation,
is
going
to
be
52
million
next
year
in
2021,
and
so
the
actuarial
recommended
contribution
was
closer
to
72.73
million.
So
we
are
putting
that
money
in
plus
the
parking
tax
that
the
monies
that
were
contributed
earlier
and
the
reason
that
we
still
are
putting
the
parking
tax
money
in
is
because
it
the
way
that
the
actuaries
pension
funds
is
based
on
your.
You
know
your
liability,
how
much
you
have
to
owe
and
what
your
money
is
over
time.
C
So
they're,
they're
kind
of
counting
the
money
that
we
committed
for
past
increases
in
liabilities,
but
we
are
planning
on
still
depositing
almost
100
million
dollars
into
the
pension
fund
next
year.
B
Thanks,
patrick
ally.
K
I
read
yesterday
about
a
some
federal
cares:
act,
money,
1.3
billion
dollars-
that
the
state
legislature
is
to
determine
how
it's
distributed,
and
you
know
with
a
note
that
it
can't
be
used
to
offset
city
revenues.
So
I'm
just
curious:
if
not
through
the
cares
act.
What
sort
of
like
federal
support
does
the
city
does?
The
administration
think
would
actually
help
the
city
and
its
people
right
now,
like
what
should
you
know
the
city
and
and
pittsburghers
be
you
know
trying
to
push
our
federal
government,
for
that
would
actually
be
supportive.
C
I
saw
that
same
article.
I
believe
the
way
that
the
state
structured
that
resolution
that
they
were
working
off
of
is
that
money
would
be
given
to
the
60
least
populated
counties
in
the
state
which
conveniently
does
not
include
allegheny
county,
so
won't
get
any
of
that.
The
heroes
act
that
was
passed
by
the
house
earlier
this
summer
did
have
a
provision
that
would
allow
for
aid
to
be
used
for
lost
revenue,
so
provisions
like
that
would
not
solve
all
of
our
problems,
but
they
would
greatly
help.
C
I
believe
the
way
that
the
pro
the
heroes
act
was
written
was
the
difference
between
what
our
2020
budget
originally
was
and
what
our
final
year
estimates
would
be,
could
be
applied
as
a
lost
revenue
with
the
same
thing
happening
for
2021.
You
know
what
our
original
2021
number
was
because
last
year
we
had
a
number
what
we
expected
it
to
be:
the
difference
between
that
and
where
it
is
as
well.
So
it
wouldn't
make
up
the
entire
difference,
but
it
would
significantly
help.
C
Sure
so
this
is
actually
great
timing.
The
council
budget
hearing
for
the
department
of
public
safety
is
tomorrow
morning
at
10.
and
it'll,
be
live
streamed
on
youtube
and
available
on
the
cd
channel.
After
that,
I
imagine
they
will
talk
very
at
great
lengths
about
the
bureau
of
police.
What
I
will
say
is
that
our
budget
did
include
provisions
for
the
stop.
The
violence,
trust
fund
that
councilman
lavelle
and
burgess
passed
earlier
this
year
and
what
that
calls
for
is
putting
enemies
equal
to
next
year.
C
Five
percent
of
the
bureau
of
police
full
budget
into
a
separate
trust
fund
to
fund
group.
Well
now,
they're
they're
going
to
be
two
different
components
of
that.
One
is
going
to
be
community
health
and
public
community,
community
health
and
safety,
and
the
other
would
be
working
towards
actual
group
violence,
intervention
and
you
know
social
work
opportunities
in
the
studio
pittsburgh.
C
No
problem-
and
I
mean
we
have
had
money,
budgeted
for
some
of
these
programs.
You
know
in
in
years
past,
and
we
still
do
that
number
will
expand
exponentially.
You
know
moving
forward
in
the
next
year
and
beyond
that.
You
know
at
this
point
we're
at
the
will
of
council.
C
J
B
I
will
I'll
post
all
of
the
links
that
we
talked
about
today
on
engage
pgh,
but
I
will
put
the
link
for
the
youtube
stream
here
in
the
chat
right
now,
just
to
make
sure
everybody
has
it
it's
youtube.com
city
city,
channel
pittsburgh,
which
is
where,
like
all
of
our
recorded
public
forums,
press
conferences,
a
bunch
of
good
good
resources
on
there,
okay.
Well,
I
think
we're
done.
I
want.
A
B
You
some
claps
here
here
we
go.
Thank
you
so
much
patrick
brendan
and
aaron
for
joining
us
tonight.
Thanks
everyone
for
your
time
and
your
thoughtful
questions.
I
thought
that
was
really
interesting
discussion.
We
are
taking
another
week
off
for
thanksgiving
so
that
I
I
do
hope
that
everybody
has
a
fun
and
safe
thanksgiving
holiday.
However,
everyone
is
planning
on
uncelebrating.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
different
this
year,
but
I
wish
the
best
to
you
and
your
families,
and
I
will
see
you
in
two
weeks.
