A
Welcome,
finally,
to
the
mayor's
civic
leadership
academy,
the
winter
2020
through
2021
cohort.
It
is
really
great
to
be
with
all
of
you
here
tonight.
Super
excited.
A
So,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
before
we
get
started
to
everybody.
I
am
fully
aware
that
there
is
a
lot
going
on
right
now,
for
this
cohort,
specifically
you've
been
waiting
a
long
time
to
join
the
civic
leadership
academy.
A
A
Okay,
so
this
is
our
agenda
for
tonight.
I'm
leah
friedman
from
the
office
of
community
affairs,
so
we'll
just
run
through
this
really
quick.
A
Okay,
so
from
6
to
7
30,
we
will
have
an
introduction
by
me,
so
we
can
learn
all
about
the
ins
and
outs
of
the
civic
leadership
academy
kind
of
what
to
expect
from
tonight
and
from
the
rest
of
our
sessions.
Moving
forward
from
6
30
to
7.
We
will
hear
from
mayor
peduto
from
7
to
7
30.
A
We
will
hear
from
council
president
teresa
kale
smith
and
then
from
7
30
to
8
30,
we'll
have
super
short
presentations
by
311,
the
pittsburgh
parking
authority,
clean
pittsburgh,
commission,
sorry,
clean
pittsburgh,
commission,
the
office
of
municipal
investigations
and
the
commission
on
human
relations.
A
A
We
will
usually
have
a
chance
for
breaks
and
things
like
that.
But
tonight
we
just
have
so
much
to
get
through
that.
I
don't
think
we'll
have
time
for
a
break,
so
just
bear
with
us
get
comfortable
if
you
have
to
step
away
for
a
second.
That's
totally
fine!
Just
keep
that
in
mind
that
tonight
will
be
long,
but
we'll
try
to
make
it
as
comfortable
as
possible
so
really
quickly.
The
office
of
community
affairs
is
the
office
that
puts
on
the
civic
leadership
academy.
A
B
A
Thanks
gizelle,
you
can
follow
us
on
social
media
for
all
kinds
of
updates
about
really
the
entire
city
of
pittsburgh.
In
general.
We
all.
We
also
have
a
public
agency
page
on
nextdoor,
where
we
post
neighborhood
specific
announcements
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
so
I
do
recommend
following
us
on
there
and
just
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
office
of
community
affairs,
you
can
see
a
piece
of
our
mission
statement
down
there.
That
kind
of
you
know
drives
everything
that
we
do,
including
cla.
A
So
that
looks
like
a
lot
of
things,
but
one
of
our
core
responsibilities
is
attending
community
meetings
in
all
90
neighborhoods,
creating
relationships
with
our
neighbors
within
those
neighborhoods
and
making
sure
that
their
priorities
and
concerns
are
making
it
to
the
right
place
within
city
government.
A
A
One
is
love
your
block,
which
is
a
mini
grant
program
for
community
groups
and
neighborhoods,
it's
fifteen
hundred
dollars
to
do
beautification
projects
throughout
the
city.
We
run
the
snow
angels
program,
which
is
actually
launching
very
soon.
This
program
pairs
volunteers
with
neighbors
in
need
in
their
within
a
10-minute
walk
of
them
to
to
help
them
shovel
their
snow
on
their
sidewalks
and
driveways,
and
things
like
that
in
the
winter
time
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
safe
and
then
we
also
run
the
civic
leadership
academy,
which
we
will
be
learning
much
more
about.
A
Tonight,
okay,
so,
as
I'm
sure
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
by
now,
the
civic
leadership
academy
is
a
free
11-week
course
that
encourages
more
informed,
effective
and
inspired
community
and
civic
leadership
by
giving
city
residents
an
opportunity
to
learn
about
their
local
government.
A
So,
throughout
this
program,
you
will
be
meeting
with
over
22
city
departments,
authorities
and
offices.
These
are
all
listed
on
the
schedule
that
I
sent
you
via
email
and
they're
also
listed
on
a
schedule
on
our
engage
pgh
page.
So
you
can
always
refer
back
to
that
to
see
who
we're
meeting
with
what
their
contact
information
is,
who
the
presenters
are,
and
things
like
that.
A
The
first
10
weeks
are
just
informational
programming,
so
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
learning
and
the
final
week
is
going
to
be
a
celebration,
and
your
friends
and
families
are
welcome
to
join
us
at
that
time,
and
just
a
quick
note
back
when
civic
leadership
academy
was
able
to
happen
in
person,
we
did
eat
dinner
together
during
cla.
So
I
think
that
you
know
kind
of
created
a
nice
environment
for
us,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
feels
free
to
eat
dinner.
A
I
know
it's
kind
of
a
long
chunk
of
time
in
the
evening
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
comfortable,
so
please
feel
free
to
do
that
throughout
our
sessions
sessions
are
always
really
time,
crunched
because
there's
just
so
much
to
go
over
and
it's
honestly
really
hard
to
get
everything
in
at
once,
but
they
always
include
some
form
of
question
and
answer.
So
there
will
be
a
chance
for
discussion
and
things
like
that
throughout
the
program,
including
tonight.
A
If
you'd
like
we'll,
see
what
works
best
in
terms
of
question
and
answer,
I
will
say
that
if
any
of
your
questions
go
unanswered
during
any
session,
including
tonight,
there
is
a
place
on
the
engage
pgh
page
to
to
ask
those
follow-up
questions
and
I
can
post
answers
from
presenters
and
you
can
also
contact
them
directly,
which
is
really
cool.
A
So
we
want
to
give
you
insight
into
the
operations
of
city
government,
and
we
really
hope
that
you
will
share
what
you
learn
here
with
your
neighborhoods
and
just
a
reminder
that
these
presentations
will
be
recorded
and
at
some
point
they
will
be
posted
publicly
for
others
to
use
as
a
resource
once
once.
The
cla
course
is
over.
A
A
Okay,
so
really
quickly,
just
a
little
bit
about
everyone,
who's
joining
us
tonight
and
we
will
do
introductions.
A
Don't
worry
the
mayor
likes
to
do
introductions
and
and
kind
of
listen
in
to
see
who's
joined
civic
leadership
academy
this
time
so
we'll
transition
to
introductions
once
he
joins
us.
A
So
you
are
40
people,
a
cohort
of
40
people
chosen
from
over
100
applications
to
the
civic
leadership
academy,
which
means
that
everyone
here
is
super
impressive
and
has
a
lot
to
share
with
all
of
us.
We
have
30
pittsburgh
neighborhoods
represented
here
tonight
and
you
are
from
all
nine
council
districts
within
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
we
have
a
very
diverse
array
of
participants
from
many
walks
of
life
backgrounds,
continents
stories,
all
types
of
jobs,
work,
volunteerism,
community
involvement,
things
like
that.
A
This
is
going
to
be
a
really
really
really
important
part
of
the
civic
leadership
academy,
since
we
can't
be
together
in
person,
so
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
signed
up.
We
have
accounts
we're
added
to
the
engaged
pgh
private
page.
A
So
if
you
have
not
been
able
to
create
an
account.
Just
please
reach
out
to
me
and
I'm
happy
to
help
you
set
that
up.
It's
really
important
that
we're
all
on
there
and
we
can
connect
with
each
other
through
that.
A
So
again,
just
please
participate.
There
will
not
be
a
lot
of
time
for
discussion
during
sessions
between
each
other,
but
but
I
think
that
engage
pgh
will
help
connect
us
and
again
any
questions
that
aren't
able
to
be
answered
during
sessions
can
be
followed
up
on
via
engage
pgh.
A
I
will
be
monitoring
the
site
pretty
closely
throughout
the
program,
and
I
do
hope
that
everyone
takes
some
time
every
week
between
sessions
to
just
participate.
There
are
prompts
on
there
that
ask
some
questions,
and
then
you
can
also
start
a
conversation
with
your
cohort
or
ask
a
question
directly
to
me.
A
A
A
And
you
know
you're
welcome
to
keep
your
camera
off
during
presentations
since
we're
sort
of
using
most
of
the
screen
for
powerpoints
and
things
like
that.
But
if
you
do
have
a
question,
please
turn
on
your
camera,
introduce
yourself
if
you're
speaking
or
asking
a
question
and
then,
if
they're,
if
someone
else
is
speaking
or
presenting
to
please
mute
yourself
to
please
be
patient.
This
is
you
know
the
first
virtual
civic
leadership
academy,
so
we're
bound
to
have
some
technical
difficulties
and
maybe
some
other
hiccups
throughout
the
program.
A
C
A
Okay,
and
so
does
anyone
have
any
questions
right
now,
just
about
administration
logistics.
Anything
like
that
for
the
civic
leadership
academy,.
A
Will
presentations
be
recorded?
Yes,
presentations
will
be
recorded
and
they
will
be
posted
on,
engage
pgh
privately
for
the
rest
of
the
class
to
see
if
we
miss.
If
we,
if
you
miss
a
class
or
something
like
that,
you'll
be
able
to
catch
up
by
watching
it.
And
then
the
entire
civic
leadership
academy
program
will
be
posted
publicly
on
the
city
of
pittsburgh's
youtube
channel
so
that
others
can
use
it
as
a
resource
to
learn
about
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
A
Okay,
well,
I
think
we
can
get
started.
Then,
if
we're
done
with
questions
on
introductions-
and
I
think
the
easiest
way
for
me
to
do-
this-
is
call
on
participants
from
our
list
and
we
can
just
go
down
and
introduce
ourselves
during
introductions.
If
you
could
just
say
your
name,
the
neighborhood,
where
you
live
and
why
you
applied
to
the
civic
leadership
academy.
D
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
ally
patonic.
I
live
in
brighton
heights,
so
councilmember
bobby
wilson's
district
and
I
applied
I'm
excited
to
meet
everyone
else
in
the
class
and
to
have
this
group
that
considers
new
ideas
to
bring
back
to
neighborhoods
and
organizations
we
work
with,
including
some
of
the
local
organizations
I
work
with
on
the
north
side,
so
all
about
new
ideas
and
learning
from
one
another.
Thank
you.
E
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
amanda
primrose,
I'm
a
licensed
professional
counselor
working
with
allegheny
health
network.
A
current
assignment
is
to
participate
in
the
consult
service
with
the
addiction
medicine
team.
So
we
respond
to
anybody
in
the
hospital
with
any
sort
of
substance
use
disorder.
I'm
trying
to
get
them
connected
to
treatment.
Resources
primarily
focused
on
battling
the
opioid
epidemic,
but
other
issues
definitely
come
up
with
chronic
pain,
alcohol
use
whatever.
E
So
anyway,
a
lot
of
our
folks
are
involved
in
the
legal
system.
A
lot
of
our
folks
are
trying
to
access
community
resources,
housing
instability.
That
kind
of
thing
so
really
wanted
to
get
connected,
because
I
know
some
resources
out
there.
I
have
some
really
good
connections
but
thought
that
this
academy
would
be
really
beneficial,
not
only
for
me
and
my
knowledge,
but
also
being
able
to
network
with
folks
that
know
things
and
be
able
to
bring
that
back
to
the
patients
I
work
with
in
the
hospital.
A
Thank
you
andrea.
It
looks
like
we
have
anna.
G
Yeah,
that's
me
hi.
My
name
is
matt
gatto.
I
live
in
marshall
shadeland
and
I'm
here
basically
to
try
to
better
understand
how
city
works
just
to
be
a
more
effective
advocate
for
my
community.
H
Freed,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sitting
outside
enjoying
this
beautiful
night,
hi
everybody
I'm
bill,
fried
I
work
at
pittsburgh.
Community
services
incorporated
it's
the
community
action
agency
for
city
of
pittsburgh
and
I'm
involved
in
helping
people
get
jobs
or
get
training
to
get
jobs,
and
I'm
from
the
west
pittsburgh
area
and
happy
to
be
here.
F
I
Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
dan,
I'm
a
software
guy
living
in
brighton
heights.
I
work
for
a
company
called
toby
dynavox
and
we
do
accessibility
devices
for
people,
who've
lost
the
ability
to
speak
or
have
developmental
delays
that
sort
of
thing
I've
been
loosely
involved
in
volunteering
in
the
area
for
a
few
years.
I
I
do
a
412
food
rescue
and
a
volunteer
as
a
poll
worker
and
that
sort
of
thing,
but
I
realized
this
year
that
I
have
very
little
understanding
of
how
civic
government
actually
works,
and
I
figured
to
be
a
more
effective
advocate
for
people.
I
need
to
know
what's
out
there
and
know
who
to
talk
to
when
there's
questions
or
concerns
or
ideas.
So
that's
why
I'm
here.
A
Great
thanks
dan
and
then
it
looks
like
we
have
dan
gladys.
J
Hi
everyone
I'm
dan
gladys.
I
live
in
the
southside
slopes,
I'm
excited
to
participate
in
the
civic
leadership
academy
and
make
great
connections
with
folks
and
learn
more
about
how
the
city
works,
because
I
care
deeply
about
my
neighborhood
and
also
my
wife
and
I
are
in
the
process
of
opening
up
a
small
community
focused
coffee
shop
in
the
arlington
south
side,
slopes
border
area
and
anything
we
can
do
to
help
our
community
and
make
our
our
venture
a
little
bit
more
successful.
K
Oh,
hey
everybody,
I'm
darrell
brock,
I'm
I
was
in
north
side,
nobel
I
was
in
north
side
at
the
time
I
applied
for
this
and
yeah
I'm
interested
in
the
civic
leadership
academy.
Basically,
for
a
lot
of
reasons
that
were
already
set
up
want
to
be
more
part
of
the
community.
Try
a
little
more
about
how
to
better
serve
it.
K
I
used
to
work
for
the
city
of
asylum
in
northside
for
about
two
years
or
so
so
I
like
to
you,
know,
learn
more
about
the
system,
so
I
can
continue
to
make
a
difference.
A
Thank
you
great.
Let's
see
we
have
dwayne.
L
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
dwayne
barker,
I
out
on
the
northside
perry
hilltop
to
be
exact.
Daniela
bell
was
my
representative.
I
I
stand
up
for
this
because
I
I
want
to
gain
more
knowledge
about
you
know.
What's
going
on
in
you
know
around
the
city,
but
also
to
to
network
I've
heard
a
couple
awesome
people
doing
some
awesome
things.
So
I
look
forward
to
connecting
with
you
all.
A
M
I'm
here
is,
I
know
that,
there's
a
lot
that
I
don't
know
and
as
cheesy
as
it
might
sound,
I
want
to
be
a
good
neighbor.
I
want
to
learn
how
I
can
best
give
back
and
I
think,
being
a
part
of
this
is
going
to
help
me.
Do
that.

the
operations,
the
way,
the
inner
workings
and
how
things
work,
and
also
to
network,
and
also
to
learn
how.
I
can
learn
these
additional
skills
and
understanding
about
the
city
and
use
it
and
apply
it.
In
my
neighborhood.

I'm
a
city
resident
just
learning
more
about
city
departments
and
being
better
informed
and
just
getting
more
involved
in
the
community
and
then
in
february.
I
started
working
at
oakland
planning
and
development
corporation,
so
very
interested
to
learn
more.
That
will
help
me
with
my
job
and
connecting
with
the
community
in
oakland
as
well.
Thanks
for
having
me.
A
Q
Hi
I'm
kimberly
redding,
I
currently
reside
in
the
northside
neighborhood
called
allegheny
west.
I
work
in
the
nonprofit
sector
as
a
marketing
and
fundraising
professional,
so
giving
back
to
the
community
is
something
I've
always
felt
very
passionately
about
and
it
just
transferred
into
my
career.
So
I
really
hope
that
this
academy,
you
know,
fosters
personal
growth
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
networking
with
everyone
and
looking
to
continue
to
make
a
difference
in
any
way
I
can
nice
to
meet
everyone.
A
Nice
to
meet
you
too
kimberly

Hi
kyle
gracie
I
live
in
bloomfield,
where
I
serve
on
the
board
of
directors
for
the
bloomfield
development
corporation
and
through
that
I've
gotten
to
know
some
parts
of
how
the
city
functions
but
didn't
feel
like.
I
had
a
complete
picture
of
how
things
work
so
part
of
what
I'm
looking
for
here
is
a
more
like
comprehensive
understanding
of
city
government.
A
Great
thanks,
kyle

Hi
I'm
leanne
wilson.
I
am
from
mount
washington
duquesne
heights
and
I
wanted
to
be
involved
with
the
program
because
I
am
a
core
team
member
of
neighbors
on
the
mountain
volunteer
law
with
the
mount
washington
community
development
authority,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
learn
more
about
ways
that
we
can
work
with
the
city
to
improve
things.
In
my
neighborhood.
U

Hi
everybody
I'm
matt
cohen,
I
live
in
greenfield.
I
grew
up
in
the
south
hills
so
outside
of
like
the
city
limit
and
when
I
moved
back
after
college
and
a
few
years
away
working,
I
moved
into
the
city,
and
I've
always
been
curious
about
how
the
city
government
works
and
the
different
departments
that
exist
throughout,
and
I
think
that
being
a
you
know,
being
a
voter.
W
It's
important
to
be
informed
about
decisions
that
are
coming
across
the
city's
plate
and
the
different
things
and
projects
that
are
on
the
city,
docket,
and
so
I
thought
this
would
be
a
great
opportunity
to
learn
and
find
ways
to
be
involved.
X
Thanks
leon
hi
everyone,
this
is
michelle
paniwala
and
I've
been
a
resident
of
pittsburgh
for
over
15
years,
I'm
actually
almost
16..
I
originally
actually
grew
up
in
bombay
in
india
and
then
we
migrated
here.
So
you
know
it's.
Obviously
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
are
different.
It
was
an
opportunity
for
me
to
learn
more
about
the
city,
create
more
civic
and
awareness
for
me,
my
community,
you
know-
and
I
currently
am-
on
the
board
of
greater
pittsburgh
food
bank
and
north
side
common
ministries.
X
So
I'm
always
looking
at
opportunities
to
give
back
to.
You
know
the
community
around
me,
and
I
thought
this
would
be
a
great
way
to
network
and
get
to
know
people.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
A
Great
yeah
great
to
meet
you
phyllis.
Y
So
I'm
phyllis
ellis
popper.
I
live
in
squirrel
hill,
I'm
currently
retired,
which
sounds
like
a
really
strange
thing
for
me
to
say,
because
I
never
intended
to
retire,
but
I
had
been
a
college
instructor
in
english
as
a
second
language,
and
I've
worked
for
30
years
with
foreign
adults,
doing
esl
and
refugee
and
immigration
programs
and
an
academic
esl.

A
Z
Whitney
hi,
I'm
whitney
washington,
I'm
from
the
sheraton
section
of
the
city.
Basically,
I
joined
this
to
network
and
to
to
find
more
about
about
the
city.
That's
basically
the
the
real
reason
why
I
joined
in
the
operation.
You
know
the
different
function
of
the
different
departments
that
go
with
the
with
the
city.
A
AA
Hi
everyone,
I'm
will
emanuel.
I
live
in
the
south
side
flats.
AA
I've
been
living
down
here
for
like
five
years
now
I
joined
because
I
just
recently
finished
a
one
year,
americorps
program
where
I
was
placed
with
a
non-profit
in
homewood,
and
I
wanted
to
learn
more
about
local
government,
because
I
know
that
nonprofits
and
local
government
are
really
closely
intertwined,
but
I
knew
that
I
didn't
know
much
about
local
government,
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
just
learn
a
little
bit
more
and
get
to
meet
some
new
people
from
outside
my
neighborhood.
So
it's
great
to
meet
everybody.
V
I
think
my
phone
might
have
been
muted
or
it
didn't,
but
my
name
is
brandi.
Oh
there
you
are
okay,
my
name
is
brandi,
I'm
the
vice
president
of
a
non-profit
called
fro
gang.
I
also
have
my
own
llc,
which
is
called
brandy's
care
with
love.
Basically
I
do
before
care
and
aftercare
at
school
and
it's
like
an
enrichment
program,
I'm
just
here
so
that
way
I
can
get
more
understanding
of
how
the
government
is
run
and
to
get
more.
You
know
just
understanding
and
networking
nice
to
meet
you
guys.
AB
So
leah,
instead
of
doing
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
if
president
kale
smith
can
talk
first,
she
has
some
other
engagements
this
evening.
I
can
be
around
till
7
45
and
what
I
also
wanted
to
do
is
since
we
can't
meet
in
person,
not
only
talk
about
the
program,
the
mayor's
office,
but
also
give
a
tour
of
the
mayor's
office,
so
folks
can
actually
see
where
we
work
and
where
we
do
things.
A
That's
a
great
idea
that
sounds
perfect
okay,
so
we
will
welcome
the
council
president
from
district
two
teresa
cale
smith,.
AC
Good
evening,
thanks
for
having
us
thank
you
mayor
for
allowing
me
to
go
first,
I
want
to
thank
you
leah
for
doing
these
programs.
You
do
them
so
well
and
we
have
a
lot
of
people
from
district,
2
and
southwest
of
the
pittsburgh
area
participating,
and
I
wish
that
this
kind
of
program
was
around
when
I
was
first
getting
involved
myself
now
about
30
some
years
ago.
You
know
back
when
I
was
first
starting.
AC
AC
So
I
think,
that's
been
beneficial
to
the
whole
city
of
pittsburgh
because
I
think
they're
getting
to
know
a
side
of
town
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
always
know
a
lot
about
the
southwest
section
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
I
think
that
people
are
starting
to
become
more
and
more
aware
of
our
area,
and
so
I
think
that
that's
that's
something.
That's
that's
really
great
for
our
area
because
we're
getting
so
much
more
interest
and
so
much
more
investment
in
our
side
of
town.
AC
When
I
first
started
there
was
not
one
one
community
garden
in
our
area.
There
was
no
trails.
There
was,
you
know
nothing
nothing.
Now
we
have
all
those
things
in
our
side
of
town
and
it's
so
nice
to
see
it
evolving
and
it's
the
same
and
I'm
an
east
end
girl.
I
moved
you
know
from
the
east
end
over
to
the
west
and
when
I
first
moved
over
there
I
got
involved
in
the
community
and
that's
that's.
AC
How
years
later
I
ended
up
running
for
office,
and
I
ran
for
office
because
there
was
really
somebody
didn't
want
the
mayor
at
the
time,
not
mayor
peduto,
to
have
the
person
they
wanted
in
office,
and
they
asked
me
to
get
into
the
race,
not
knowing
politics.
I
got
into
the
race
and
then
halfway
through
I
tried
to
get
out
of
the
race
and
long
story
short.
AC
Somebody
said
to
me:
women
don't
belong
in
politics,
so
I
stayed
in
the
race
then,
because
I
was
angry
and
then
I
won,
and
so
from
there
on.
I
decided
I'm
going
to
do
whatever
I
can
to
help
our
community,
so
I've
been
focused
on
that
and-
and
I
think
it's
starting
to
show
a
lot
in
our
district
and
a
lot
of
that
comes
with
people.
AC
There's
a
strong
mayoral
form
of
government
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
a
lot
of
people
think
that
you,
you
know,
you're
going
to
run
for
city,
council
and
you're
going
to
go
in
there
and
you're
going
to
make
things
happen.
You're
gonna
show
what
thing
you
know
how
things
are
gonna
get
done
and
how
they
should
be
done.
Then
you
get
them.
You
realize
everything
that
you
thought
was
not
the
way
it
is
going
to
be,
and
it's
not
there's
a
process
to
things
and
there's
so
many
other.
AC
You
know
you
have
a
mayor.
Who's
pulled
in
a
million
directions,
trying
to
make
a
budget
work
that
hasn't
really
had
real
tax
increases.
AC
Not
significant
tasks
increases
for
a
very
long
time
and
we
may
have
little
pockets
here
and
there
that
we,
you
know
the
library
fund
and
different
things,
but
then
it's
never
really
have
been
that
much
and-
and
you
have
just
a
small
pocket
of
people
paying
for
everything
that
people
want
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
so
I
think
that
having
those
challenges
he's
done,
a
really
amazing
job,
working
with
city
council,
making
sure
that
the
budget
is
spread
across
fairly
across
nine
districts.
AC
AC
People
gave
me
advice
and
one
of
the
biggest
pieces
of
advice
I
got
from
bruce
kraus
and
he
said
the
biggest
thing
you
have
to
learn
is
how
to
build
a
consensus,
because
you
can't
do
anything
by
yourself
when
you
get
in
here
and
you
quickly
learn
that
so
that's
it
for
me.
I
just
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
participate
in
this
program.
AC
AB
President
smith,
I
have
one
question
for
you,
so
how
did
you
get
involved
because
it
wasn't
just
one
day
you
decided
I'm
going
to
run
for
city
council.
What
was
it
that
you
started
getting
involved
with
that
led
to
that
next
step
to
that
next
step,
where
you
finally
were
at
that
position,
where
you
not
only
could
be
told
we're
not
going
to
have
a
woman
council
member
but
to
beat
back
that
type
of
a
machine.
AC
It
was
a
machine,
I'm
going
to
be
honest.
I
was
so
intimidated
when
I
first
started.
The
first
thing
I
started
doing
was
my
kids.
My
first
husband
had
passed
away
and
I
got
involved
with
my
kids
with
their
sports.
AC
I
got
involved
with
them
with
their
schools
and
from
those
things
I
started
meeting
more
people
and
another
person,
and
somebody
was
running
for
city
council
and
they
told
me
that
they
needed
my
help,
because
I
knew
everybody
in
the
city
in
the
district,
and
I
said
as
long
as
you're
going
to
do
whatever
you
can
for
the
community.
AC
We
want
we're,
asking
you
to
run,
and
so
I
never
knew
that
I
was
up
against.
You
know
the
democratic
machine.
I
won
the
democratic
endorsement,
but
it
was
because
I
knew
all
the
people
that
were
committing
people
and
had
worked
with
them.
It
wasn't
because
I
had
an
endorsement
or
the
favor
of
the
ward
chair
people
or
anything
like
that
who
now
I
work
with,
but
back
then
it
was
nothing
like
that
and
so
I
went
for
it.
I
won
the
endorsement
to
my
surprise
and
the
day
they
were
counting
the
votes.
AC
AC
So
I
think
it's
just
getting
involved
in
if
you
either
your
schools,
your
community,
I
also
got
involved
in
trails
and
doing
trail
work.
So
if
you
just
like
planting,
I
think
that's
a
one
way
that
you
get
to
start
meeting
people
when
doing
things
in
the
community
or
going
to
events.
This
group
is
one
way
to
meet
people,
so
I
think
there's
lots
of
different
ways.
You
can
get
involved.
AB
I
just
want
to
add
a
couple
of
things
to
that
number.
One
working
with
all
nine
council
members,
you
figure
out
where
their
strengths
are
pretty
quickly.
There
is
nobody
and
all
the
other,
eight
council
members
will
say
this
who
is,
is
engaged
in
her
district
as
she
actually
is
there,
even
during
covid
at
every
event
that
happens
within
her
district
and
before
kovid.
AB
You
know
outside
of
her
district
as
well,
and
the
second
thing
about
it-
and
I
would
say,
is
why
she's
the
president
is
she's,
always
looking
to
build
the
bridge
she's,
never
the
one
who
looks
to
pick
the
fight
she
doesn't
like
fights,
and
even
when
I
ran
in
2007
and
I
was
up
against
luke,
you
know
I
made
those
horrible
horrible
calls
to
every
committee
person
trying
to
get
support
and
it
was
pretty
much
except
when
I
called
teresa
and
she
was
the
vice
chair
of
her
award
back.
Then
she
goes.
AB
I've
been
wanting
to
talk
to
you
and
she's
there.
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
what
it
is
that
you'll
do
for
the
west
end,
because
we're
getting
nothing
out
here,
and
I
never
forgot
that
for
two
reasons
number
one
it
wasn't
about.
What
are
you
gonna
do
for
me
or
a
job
or
something
like
that,
but
number
two.
It
was
at
least
being
open
to
at
least
hear
me
out,
even
though
I
was
the
underdog,
and
I've
always
appreciated
that
about
you
teresa.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
well,
thank
you,
councilwoman
smith.
Thank
you
mayor
for
allowing
me
to
go
first,
really
appreciate
you
stopping
by
tonight.
Thank
you.
Stay
safe.
AB
Touch.
Okay,
so
now
my
turn
leah,
I
think
so.
Okay
and
again,
thank
you
for
running
this
program
again
this
year,
you
guys
are
going
to
get
to
know
leah,
pretty
well
you're,
going
to
get
to
likely
a
lot,
and
you
know
I've.
I've
been
able
to
be
this
introduction
meeting
it's
kind
of
hard
with
covid,
but
at
that
same
time
you
don't
have
to
try
to
come
downtown
and
park
and
everything
else
and
I'm
not
going
to
take
away
from
the
secret
tour
of
the
mayor's
office.
AB
So
you're
gonna
have
to
work
with
us.
There's
gonna
be
james
hill
who's.
My
right
arm,
basically
carrying
this
little
notebook
around
and
trying
to
use
it
as
a
tv
camera.
But
before
we
get
to
that
and
then
I
want
to
keep
time
open
for
q
a
and
leah.
What's
the
next
after
me,
what
time
are
we
going
towards.
AB
Okay,
I'll
try
to
I'll
keep
it
within
about
20
minutes
or
so
tour
in
in
little
talk
and
then
open
it
up
for
q,
a
perfect
if
we
go
a
little
bit
over
just
apologize
to
every
who
else
is
out
so
why
this
program
was
created,
because
everyone
has
really
great
ideas,
and
you
know,
there's
an
opportunity
to
really
be
able
to
steer
your
city
government
even
if
you're,
not
one
of
the
nine
members
of
council,
the
city,
controller
or
the
mayor,
and
what
it
requires
is,
as
teresa
said,
number
one
consensus
building.
AB
You
can't
do
it
alone
and
you
can't
do
it
as
sort
of
just
with
the
knowledge
that
there's
a
better
way.
You
need
to
build
that
coalition,
but
number
two.
The
most
important
thing
is
knowledge,
and
the
best
way
to
have
knowledge
is
to
get
a
behind-the-scenes
look
at
how
the
things
operate,
how
they're
being
done
now
and
then
being
able
to
come
up
with
a
better
way.
AB
I
always
tell
people,
you
know
the
potholes
will
not
always
be
patched,
not
all
of
them
ever
like.
Don't
expect
that!
That's
why
god
created
heaven,
you
know,
but
we
can
do
a
better
job
in
the
number
of
potholes
that
we
patch
we
can
do
a
better
job
on
the
amount
of
time
it
takes
from
a
call
to
come
in.
Until
that
asphalt
is
being
put
into
that
hole.
AB
We
can
do
a
better
job,
just
by
simply
squaring
a
hole
and
using
a
sealant,
so
it
doesn't
become
a
pothole
again
next
year
in
these
best
practices
get
studied
by
cities
not
only
across
this
country,
but
around
the
world,
and
a
lot
of
them
come
from
staff,
but
a
lot
of
them
come
from
people,
people
with
expertise
in
different
areas.
It's
really
important
to
understand
about
government,
it's
risk
averse.
AB
We
do
things
to
minimize
the
amount
of
risk,
instead
of
being
able
to
grasp
the
greatest
amount
of
change.
So,
where
ideas
come,
that
aren't
risk
averse,
they
come
from
entrepreneurs
and
other
types
of
thinkers
that
are
outside
of
city
government,
who
can
show
us
different
ways
to
be
able
to
do
something
using
a
new
strategy
to
solve
an
old
problem,
and
there's
countless
examples
over
the
past
seven
years
that
I
could
give
you
about
that.
AB
But
I
won't
bore
you.
My
job
is,
as
my
brother
once
told
me,
he
said
bill.
The
british
have
a
pretty
good
system.
They've
got
a
king
and
they've
got
a
prime
minister.
The
prime
minister
is
the
one
who
gets
everything
done
and
the
king
goes
and
cuts
a
bunch
of
ribbons.
AB
Your
problem
is,
you
want
to
be
both,
and
it
took
me
a
number
of
years
to
actually
understood
what
that
meant.
I
hired
a
chief
of
staff.
I
hired
chiefs
of
different
operations,
administration,
finance,
economic
development,
I
hired
directors
and
assistant
directors
of
departments,
and
I
have
to
put
my
faith
in
them
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
job
done.
My
job
is
not
to
get
the
job
done.
AB
AB
What
is
the
most
equitable
system
and
what
is
the
most
effective
system?
Those
systems
are
policies,
they're
programs
that
are
created,
and
then
you
got
to
get
really
good
at
stealing,
stealing
really
good
ideas
from
other
cities,
because
you're
not
the
only
one
doing
it
and
you
don't
have
to
invent
the
wheel.
AB
AB
That's
the
mayor's
job,
it's
to
learn
it's
to
listen
and
then,
when
necessary,
to
make
the
call
you're
sort
of
the
general
manager,
as
your
staff
are,
the
players
and
your
administration
or
the
coaches,
and
you
put
together
that
team
that
you
trust
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
it.
I'm
blessed
and
you're
going
to
get
to
see
and
meet
and
talk
to
directly.
AB
Most
of
the
top
administrators
in
our
administration
is
the
most
diverse
administration
the
city
of
pittsburgh
has
ever
had
the
majority
of
our
administration
are
women.
The
number
of
minority
leaders
is
over.
The
city's
population
we
have
about
one-third
of
our
leaders
are
african-american
around
four
percent
asian
and
three
percent
latino.
AB
In
five
minutes,
I'm
gonna
get
james
off
the
phone
with
his
friend
and
have
him
come
here?
It's
your
sister
yeah
here
come
on,
say
hi
to
people,
I'm
gonna,
let
james
introduce
himself
to
you,
my
nephew,
oh
hi,
hey
guys,
really
nice
to
see
you
little
guy.
He.
AB
AD
My
name
is
james,
I'm
I'm
the
mayor's
executive
assistant,
crazy,
chris,
is
here
employees
as
well.
I've
been
it's
going
on
six
years.
I
want
to
say
I
think
it's
been.
AD
By
the
way
I
first
met
the
mayor
way
back
when
I
was
in
high
school.
I
was
a
student
at
alma
mater,
her
wheat
chairs
rest
in
peace,
dear
schenley,
high
way
back
in
the
year
2008-2009
there's
a
lot
of
reorganizing
going
on
in
schools.
Schenley
was
slated
for
closure,
a
bunch
of
us
students
very
much
didn't
want
that
to
happen.
We
fought
a
very
hard
battle.
The
mayor,
who
was
on
council
at
the
time
was
originally
very
supportive
of
saving
the
school.
AD
Nonetheless,
the
effort
failed
on
the
school
board
did
act,
but
that's
when
I
first
kind
of
got.
You
know
interested
in
the
concept
of
politics,
because
you
know
you
say
you
don't
really
notice
it
until
it
affects
you
at
the
local
level.
Here
I
saw
a
school
that
I
very
much
cared
about
that
I
thought
was
a
great
place
for
a
lot
of
children
was
on
the
way
out,
for
what
I
still
defend
is
seemingly
no
good
reason.
So
I
first
met
the
mayor
way
back
then
we
kept
in
touch
over
the
years.
AD
I
used
to
say
back
then
I
I
wanted
a
job
that
paid
slightly
less
poor
than
journalism
did
so
I
said
why
not
public
service
these
days,
I
think,
to
some
extent
I
dodged
a
bullet
with
all
the.
I
won't
presume
your
political
meetings,
but
everything
you
know
about
the
president
and
so
forth
and
just
how
the
news
is
treated
in
general.
You
know
I
like
to
think
to
some
extent
I
I
dodged
a
bullet
with
gun
in
the
politics,
but
I
kept
in
touch
with
the
mayor
for
years.
AD
I
was
really
thinking
at
the
end
of
college.
I
wasn't
sure
about
journalism
anymore.
I
still
think
I
had
a
heart
for
civics
and
education
in
our
schools
and
everything.
So
I
said
you
know,
I
think
I
actually
called
texting.
I
don't
remember,
but
yeah
kevin
kevin
yeah
kevin
at
the
time
who
he
knew
you
know
they
say
you
talk
to
a
couple
people.
AD
One
thing
leads
to
another,
a
couple
coffees
later
the
mayor
said:
you
know
why
don't
you
come
on
and-
and
you
know
this
was-
I
think-
a
year
and
a
year
and
a
half
into.
AD
That's
when
corey
buckner,
who
was
my
predecessor,
moved
to
seiu
and
on
I
became
the
mayor's
executive
assistant,
what
that
entails
anything
and
everything
under
the
sun
on
any
given
day
it
changes
rapidly
depending
on
the
hour.
You
know
the
I
always
say
it's.
It's
drifted
a
lot
just
because
we
don't
really
see
people
anymore,
but
the
bulk
of
it
was.
AD
You
know
when
you're
mayor
and
you're
out
and
about
everybody
wants
something
and
it's
impossible
for
one
person
to
keep
that
all
in
your
head
or
then
source
it
out
to
where
it
needs
to
go
so
for
a
while.
The
bulk
of
it
was
when
we're
out
and
about
and
people
want
everything
from
the
mayor.
I
try
to
take
as
much
as
that
information
as
I
can
home,
and
then
we
divvy
it
out
to
the
various
city
departments.
You
know
it's
mayor.
AD
AD
Everything
special
projects
and
such
leo
will
tell
you
I
I
rule
christmas
at
the
city
county
building
with
an
iron
fist,
so
you
know
I
enjoy
a
little
stuff
like
that,
so
I
get
to
do
all
sort
of
special
projects
that
interest
me
so
getting
a
city
decorator
for
christmas,
all
that
stuff.
I
do
a
lot
of
social
media
these
days
with
our
with
our
with
our
assistant
communications,
director
molly.
So
it's
really
a
little
bit
of
everything.
You
know.
I
AD
Advanced
work
when
we're
going
to
events
who
are
we?
Where
are
we?
Who
needs
to
be
there?
How
we
talk
to
what's
the
door?
You
know
with
my
other
mayor's
other
assistant,
haley
who's,
going
to
talk
to
you.
We
contracts
deeds
things
like
that
everything,
administrative,
wise
that
has
to
go
through
government
that
never
gets
to
stop.
You
know
just
because
things
are
stopped.
You
I
think
the
funniest
thing
we
found
is
how
many
things
in
government
still
need
to
be
physical
pieces
of
paper
during
covid.
AD
AE
AE
AE
Yeah,
let
me
get
my
message:
hi,
I'm
haley.
My
title
is
special
assistant
to
the
mayor.
I
apologize
for
not
dressing
up
for
this.
I
didn't
realize
I
was
going
to
be
speaking,
but.
AE
I
do
the
inside
the
office
work,
so
I
do
scheduling
for
the
mayor,
coordinating
in-office
events,
but
during
the
pandemic,
I've
kind
of
started
to
help
out
with
outside
the
office.
Events
too,
because
we're
down
to
a
skeleton
crew
these
days
in
the
office.
So
when
things
were
normal,
I
would
coordinate
travel
within
our
country
and
internationally
and
make
sure
the
mayor
knew
where
he
was
going
for
all
of
his
events.
AE
It
it's
a
it's
a
lot
of
work,
but
but
it's
a
good
time-
and
I
am
a
little
bit
newer
than
james
here-.
AE
I
was
an
intern
in
the
mayor's
office
and
from
there
took
on
a
full-time
position
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
AF
AE
AB
So
this
is
the
conference
room.
This
is
the
place
where
you
see.
We
have
the
press
conferences
on
behind
this
podium.
Basically,
this
is
the
table
that
every
mayor
and
administration
has
had
at
since
1917.
These.
AB
Chairs
and
all
the
parts
of
it
this
guy
up
here
is
ebenezer
denny.
I
was
just
reading
some
of
his
words
this
afternoon.
AB
He
was
a
major
in
the
militia
of
the
continental
army
and
fought
at
the
battle
of
yorktown,
along
with
hamilton,
lafayette
and
washington,
and
if
you
ever
see
the
movie
the
patriot,
they
quote
him
in
the
movie.
He
was
the
first
mayor
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
AB
You
always
notice
that
everything
in
the
city's
black
and
gold-
it's
not
because
of
our
sports
teams,
it's
because
of
our
city.
The
official
colors
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
are
black
and
gold
and
you'll
always
see
this
thing.
Wherever
you
look,
whether
it's
at
the
university
of
pittsburgh
chatham
university,
the
diocese
of
pittsburgh,
that
is,
the
code
of
arms
of
william
pitt
and
it
was
adopted
into
the
colors
of
black
and
gold
earlier
to
become
the
fish
pillars
of
the
city
of
bc
flags.
AB
You
always
put
the
american
flag
furthest
to
the
right,
then
the
next
largest
government
entity,
the
state
which
is
going
to
go
to
biden,
then
the
next
city
and
then
ceremonial.
This
is
a
very
creepy.
William
pitt
that
was
given
to
us
for
the
150th
anniversary
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
It's
william
pitt
under
glass.
Now
we're
going
to
do
a
quick
turn.
AB
AB
This
is
my
office.
It's
a
beautiful
office.
You
can
imagine
back
when
the
city
had
money
back
in
1917.
They
were
able
to
build
things
like
this.
On
one
side
I
get
to
look
up
grant
street
and
all
the
beautiful
architecture
that
henry
clay
frick
and
the
boys
built
back
in
the
day
and
the
other
side.
I
looked
down
at
the
brand
new
pnc
tower,
one
of
the
most
green,
environmentally
friendly
skyscrapers
in
the
world.
AB
Again,
the
desk
same
thing
original
desk,
the
architecture
team
that
put
it
together,
including
henry
hornbassel,
put
together
all
the
furniture
in
this
room
and
in
council
chambers
behind
me
are
special
symbolic
memories.
Over
the
years
to
the
left
is
the
oldest
item
in
this
office.
It's
a
podium
from
the
original
or
not
the
original.
The
second
city
count
city
hall.
AB
My
favorite
bear
david
lawrence,
asleep
at
the
desk,
like
every
good
mayor,
because
he's
going
through
the
refuse
strike
and
he
told
staff
nobody
leaves
till
the
strike's
over
and
he
actually
ordered
pots
from
coffins
in
order
to
be
able
to
get
it
done
a
lot
of
mementos
over
the
past
several
years,
some
of
them
very
special,
some
of
them
very
sentimental,
as
we
went
through
a
lot
of
different
crises,
some
of
them
just
ridiculous
like
this
one
that
somebody
sent
me
without
any
note,
they
just
saw
undercover
boss
and
decided
well,
you
would
look
good
with
a
bunch
of
jelly
beans
around
you.
AB
Brook,
maybe
that's
where
she's
from
I
never
saw
that
before,
so
she
did
sign
it.
Actually,
I
don't
know
if
you
know
I
didn't
know,
but
in
buddhism
there
are
several
llamas
they're
sort
of
the
gurus
that
oversee
different
parts
of
buddhism.
One
of
the
llamas
was
in
pittsburgh
and
when
he
was
here,
we
had
the
chance
to
talk
and
meet.
He
gave
me
this
beautiful
buddha
that
sits
in
there
in
this
office
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
other
special
things.
James
talked
about
being
a
schenley
high
school
graduate
well.
C
W
C
AB
Morris,
who
was
a
buddy
of
mine
in
college,
but
he
went
to
alderdice
and
they
sit
in
this
office
on
loan
and
below
that
wall.
You'll,
see
white
space
and
that's
for
pittsburgh,
public
school
children
to
have
their
art
in
the
office
with
their
contemporaries,
the
kids
that
went
to
pittsburgh,
public
schools
and
became
famous
artists.
This
is
kind
of
unique.
This
was
made
by
sophie
masloff
and
it's
not
herself
no
yeah.
AB
She
sat
here
yeah
tools
and
then,
when
tom
murphy
became
mayor,
he
took
it
out
of
the
city
and
out
of
the
city
county
building
and
put
it
across
the
street
where
it
just
collected
dust,
we
kind
of
cleaned
it
up.
We've
got
a
lot
more
work
to
do.
I
want
to
put
glass
over
it
and
I
want
to
put
it
down
in
the
lobby.
So
all
of
pittsburgh
can
see
it.
There's
one
thing
that
I'll
show
you
and
it
will
not
change
as
long
as
I'm
there.
AB
I
thought
it
would
be
a
really
cool
adaptive,
reuse
that
we
could
have
used
just
a
couple
of
other
things
before
we
go
to
the
council
chamber.
Oh
joe
barr's,
high
five
from
his
house.
In
point
brief,
so
mayor
barr
was
the
mayor
after
mayor
lawrence
after
mayor
lawrence
became
governor,
there
was
a
mayor
he
was
in
for
a
short
time
and
then
mayor
barr,
and
he
brought
this
from
his
home.
It
works
and
I
had
his
daughter
in
here
her
nickname's
candy
because
of
candy
bar.
AB
This
was
given
to
me
by
staff
on
my
first
anniversary
as
mayor,
it's
a
painting
of
david
lawrence,
and
if
you
look
at
it
you
know
you're
kind
of
looking
down
the
mon
river
where
the
tech
center
is
and
over
to
south
side
works,
and
basically
it
shows
the
city
that
he
inherited
and
it
sits
right
by
that
window,
and
I
can
look
out
the
window
and
see
the
city
that
is
today.
AB
He
took
a
city
that
was
industrial
and
turned
it
into
the
third
largest
corporate
center
in
america,
but
at
that
same
time
he
used
a
tool
that
we
basically
say
we
chase
david
lawrence's
ghost
in
order
to
do
renewal,
and
that
was
the
wrecking
ball
and
he
went
into
the
hill.
He
went
into
east
liberty
and
went
into
the
north
side
and
disconnected
communities,
and
now,
when
we
chase
david
lawrence
ghost,
it
means
our
job
is
to
reconnect
those
communities
buddy.
AB
Baron
batch
did
that
of
me
and
it
was
a
surprise
and
I
love
it.
One
of
my
favorite
artists,
david
donahue,
who
really
does
beautiful
pittsburgh
work
and
all
this
artwork
is
for
sale,
so
we're
one
of
the
largest
art
galleries
in
downtown
pittsburgh
and
it's
all
by
local
pittsburgh
artists.
So
we've
opened
our
walls
to
be
able
to
sell
artwork
for
artists.
We've
sold
a
number
of
pieces.
AB
This
was
given
to
me
by
the
navy
seals
they
were
in
town,
doing
a
special
operation.
We
also
had
special
forces
as
well.
AB
This
picture
up
here,
I
don't
know
if
you
can
get
that
james
was
giving
me
it's
one
of
my
favorite
pictures.
Those
are
five
northside
kids,
who
rented
suits
in
order
to
be
able
to
get
a
picture
taken
on
the
bottom
left
is
andrew.
Carnegie
next
to
him
is
phipps
and
of
the
five
three
became
famous
industrialists
and
two
died
in
the
civil
war.
AB
AB
AB
AB
AB
Or
every
other
mayor
has
delivered
the
budget
address
and
you're
going
to
be
working
with
the
budget
office
and
finance
during
the
budget
process
and
you'll
have
interaction
with
some
really
cool
tools
that
will
be
able
to
show
you
where
every
cent
of
your
tax
dollars
go
and
also
a
new
tool
that
we'll
be
introducing
in
a
couple
of
weeks
which
will
be
able
to
let
you
create.
How
do
you
finance
a
city?
Do
you
create
a
property
tax
on
nonprofits?
AB
What
would
that
create?
Then?
Maybe
you
lower
the
property
tax,
or
maybe
you
lower
the
wage
tax
and
by
doing
all
these
different
simulations,
how
you
can
finance
a
city
we're
going
to
have
a
real
big
conversation
about
that
next
year,
as
we
get
through
this
crisis
here
of
our
budget,
so
come
on
this
way,
it's
really
cold.
If
you
haven't
been
in
here,
oh
it's
really
cold.
I.
AD
AB
AB
AB
You'll
see
this
everywhere
in
this
chamber
again,
it's
the
seal
of
the
william
pitt
family,
which
has
become
the
seal
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
you'll
notice,
the
checkerboards,
the
castles,
the
eagles
all
throughout.
You
can't
see
it
from
here,
but
can
you
get
the
ceiling
yeah?
You
can
see
it
pretty
well
in
the
names
of
the
ceiling.
AB
AB
Yeah,
I'm
good.
You
want
to
get
ready,
explain
the
secret
recorder,
though.
AB
Yeah,
like
this
one
buildings
built
in
1917.,
you
know
what
they
don't
have
in
1917
credit
cards,
because
they
were
smart.
No,
they
didn't
have
credit
cards.
So
when
people
came,
they
used
the
cashola
and
they
would
leave
the
cashola
here
and
the
mayors
would
take
it
home
with
a
memory
now.
What
would
happen?
Is
they
put
it
in
this
bolt
fireproof
vault
and
keep
it
safe?
Now
we
use
it
for
all.
My
crap
and
james
is
how
our
christmas
and
plastic
cups
that
we
got
to
get
recyclable
cups
too.
AB
Truth
true
story
on
mayor
pete
flaherty's
swearing-in
day,
his
youngest
son
went
into
the
vault
and
his
older
brother
locked
him
in
and
he
was
stuck
in
there
for
hours.
So
this
looks
like
wood
right,
but
it's
steel,
it's
metal
and
it's
not
a.
AB
Closet,
it's
the
bat
escape
it's
even
painted
in
that
batman,
green
from
the
1960s
and
basically,
what
it
is
is
it's
a
way
to
be
able
to
go
from
my
office
down
to
the
public
safety
director's
office?
I
rarely
ever
use
it.
He
uses
it
much
more
for
when
he
comes
up
for
meetings,
but
what
it
really
is
is
that
it's
an
elevator
shaft,
where
the
elevator
got
stuck
on
the
second
floor
like
50
years
ago,
instead
of
repairing
the
elevator
they
just
built
this
and
the
elevator's
still
down
on
two
just
sitting.
There.
AB
A
A
AB
We
don't
have
that
much
time,
but
at
least
about,
if
you
don't
mind,
eight
to
ten
minutes.
AB
Okay,
why
don't
you
emcee
that.
H
Question
leo
sure,
go
ahead,
bill
hi,
hi
mayor
this
is
bill
freed
from
west
pittsburgh.
Thank
you
for
the
tour.
I
would.
I
was
curious,
like
about
neighborhood
small
neighborhood
business
districts.
When
I
grew
up,
there
was
like
crafton
heights.
Had
a
little
business
district
sheridan
had
one.
There
was
one
in
elliot
and
they're
just
gone,
and
it
seems
like
the
only
thing
left
is
like
one
really
small
expensive
like
store.
Is
there
any?
What
what
are
is
the
focus
on
like
like
small
neighborhood
business
districts?
H
Is
that
a
focus
I'm
just
curious,
yeah.
AB
We
started
a
program
this
year
and
you're
gonna
learn
more
about
it
when
you're
talking
with
the
ura
and
then
off.
Also,
my
office
of
equity
we've
focused
in
on
seven
historically
blocked
neighborhoods,
where
there
has
been
no
investment
for
over
40
years,
so
I
believe
in
the
west
end
I'm
trying
to
think
what
street
it
is.
I
think
it's
up
in
charter
city
is
it
churchill
street.
AB
We
believe
if
we
can
get
a
print
shop
to
move
in
and
then
maybe
a
barber
shop
to
move
in
and
then
maybe
a
tax
accountant
to
move
in
that
the
coffee
shops
and
the
others
will
follow
yeah.
But
we've
got
to
get
spark
going
and
so
we're
experimenting
with
these
first
seven
neighborhoods.
But
then
we
want
to
increase
it
and
we
want
the
entrepreneurs
to
come
directly
from
the
neighborhoods
that
we're
investing.
AB
In
so
we've
been
working
in
the
hill,
we've
been
working
with
a
guy
named
big
tom
and
he
has
a
barber
shop
and
he
wants
to
expand
and
also
create
affordable
housing,
and
he
wants
to
take
over
an
old
historic
barber
shop
in
the
hill
called
hams
and
so
he's
one
of
our
first.
That
will
be
doing
it
and
then
the
second
thing
we're
doing
we
have
a
program
called
catapult
which
we
started
in
east
liberty
will
be
expanding
in
the
hill
in
the
next
quarter.
AB
We
have
women
in
east
liberty
who
started
out
businesses
and
candles
sitting
next
to
one
that
works
in
african
art
next
to,
and
you
know
we
towed
it
right
next
to
the
kelly
strayhorn
in
one
of
the
most
visible
and
prominent
locations
in
the
east
liberty,
business
district,
we're
going
to
be
doing
the
same
on
center
avenue
and
hope
to
expand
it
into
other
neighborhoods.
AB
So
when
you
talk
to
the
ura,
ask
them
specifically
about
how
to
get
your
community
directly
involved
in
doing
that
as
well,
because
I
look
at
that
area
around
langley
and
calling
for
a
rebirth
of
small
local
business.
The
family
dollar
is
nice
yeah,
that's
not
what
sheridan's
about
it
was
always
small
local
businesses
right.
Thank
you.
Yep.
F
Called
the
mayor,
peduto
news
from
2015
and
it
states
that
there
has
been
a
committee
named
my
brother's
keepers.
Do
you
go
back
and
steal?
AB
Yeah
we
were
one
of
the
early
adopters
of
my
brother's
keeper.
It
was
a
program
created
by
president
obama
that
focused
in
on
young
men
of
color
and
instead
of
just
having
like
a.
AB
It
is
being
led
through
my
office
by
a
man
named
josiah,
gilliam
and
josiah's
role
is
to
not
simply
try
to
run
a
program
through
the
city
which
we're
doing,
and
we
launched
a
new
program
called
wreck
to
tech,
where
young
kids
are
being
given
the
opportunity,
instead
of
playing
sports
after
school,
we're
using
our
rec
centers
to
teach
them
coding
to
teach
them
how
to
take
a
computer
apart
and
rebuild
it,
and,
like
one
mother
said
to
me,
my
son
is
excited
about
going
to
this,
as
he
is
football
practice,
but
to
empower
the
organizations
that
are
already
on
the
ground,
the
nonprofits
that
are
already
in
the
neighborhood
to
do
more.
AB
So
we're
proud
to
remain
a
member
of
my
brother's
keeper.
It's
it's
national
still,
and
we
look
for
partners,
especially
in
the
nonprofit
world,
to
be
able
to
provide
resources
to
expand
programs
that
they
already
have.
AB
Gilliam
you
yep
and
leah
will
send
you
his
phone
number
and
his
email.
V
Yes
hi,
my
mayor,
I
have
a
question,
I'm
not
sure
if
you'll
be
able
to
answer
this
question,
I
live
in
the
borough
of
mount
oliver
and
I'm
having
trouble
finding
assistance
with
getting
some
roof
help
like
because
I
live
in
the
borough
of
mount
oliver.
Every
time
I
try
to
find
assistance,
it's
always
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
I
can't
find
anything
for
you
know:
assistance
in
the
borough.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
point
me
in
the
right
like
direction.
AB
AB
I
think
you're,
saying
hearth,
hearth
and
they're
like
no.
We
didn't
call
it
art,
it's
harp,
h-a-r-p,
google,
pittsburgh
h-a-r-p
and
what
it
is
is
an
app
and
basically
you
type
in
your
information
anything
you
want
to
know
about
housing.
Let's
say
that
you're
a
renter
and
you
want
to
buy.
You
want
to
know
what
your
programs
are
and
you
want
to
buy
in
a
low
income,
neighborhood,
let's
say
you're
a
renter
and
you
want
to
buy
and
it's
the
first
time
you
bought
and
what
programs
are
available.
AB
Let's
say
that
you
own
your
house
and
you're
looking
to
do
repairs
to
it
and
it
will
ask
you
about
five
or
six
questions.
Nothing
too
personal
and.
V
AB
It
will
direct
you
to
all
the
resources
in
one
portal.
So
again
it's
made
for
the
people
of
pittsburgh,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
some
of
the
programs
may
not
be
county
programs
or
state
programs.
We
tried
to
make
it
a
one-stop
shop
for
all
programs,
but
let's
say
there
isn't
one
that
you
find
call
the
pittsburgh
staff
member.
That
is,
there's
a
contact
person
for
each
one
and
say:
look
I'm
trying
to
find
a
program
like
yours
in
mount
oliver
and
yeah.
We
haven't
done
a
good
enough
job
in
promoting
this.
AB
AB
A
S
Larry
sims
from
the
strip
district
I've
been
tangentially
involved
with
the
negotiations
with
norfolk
southern
regarding
bridge
work
and
in
in
the
course
of
that
I've
had
an
occasion
to
examine
some
of
their
properties.
I
have
a
little
bit
of
expertise
in
that
area.
I
did
a
a
visual
comparison
of
the
16th
street
bridge
with
the
fort
wayne
bridge.
S
One
looks
new.
One
looks
like
it's
about
to
fall
into
the
river
they're,
the
same
vintage
norfolk
southern
doesn't
seem
accountable
to
anybody.
Shippo
is
focusing
on
aesthetics,
principally
puc
is
not
enforcing
anything.
The
federal
railroad
administration
is
not
enforcing
anything,
and
they,
in
fact,
have
been
cited
in
a
fairly
recent
collision
for
inadequate
inspection
procedures.
S
AB
It's
tracks
very
difficult
procedure.
We've
taken
the
unusual
step
of
seeking
legal
action
against
norfolk
southern
as
the
city.
We
do
not
have
the
ability
to
stop
it
through
both
federal
transportation
and
state
transportation
mandates.
AB
A
municipality
does
not
have
standing
in
the
courts
or,
if
it
did,
it
would
not
be
able
to
overturn
a
railroad
court's
decision.
There's
a
reason
that
for
120
years,
people
in
this
country
have
been
saying,
they've
been
railroaded.
It's
because
there
are.
There
are
rules,
federal
transportation
rules
that
are
created
simply
for
a
railroad
operation.
AB
That
said,
the
judge
has
ordered
norfolk
southern
into
mediation
with
the
city.
We
have
been
working
on
some
of
the
things
that
you're
saying,
and
there
certainly
are
ways
that
we
can
compel
them
our
basic
tool.
Let
me
just
put
it
to
you.
This
way
is
delay.
It
is
to
make
it
so
that
we're
tied
up
in
court
for
so
long
that
they
either
give
up
on
the
project,
or
they
agree
to
as
many
of
the
demands
that
we
can
add
to
it.
AB
And
we've
looked
at
it
to
see
if
we
have
a
chance
to
win
through
the
courts
and
it's
it's
very,
very,
very
unlikely.
AB
But
I
will
ask
leah
to
get
you
directly
into
contact
with
carina
ricks
who's,
our
director
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
to
be
able
to
get
the
concerns
that
you're
talking
about
because
some
of
them,
I
don't
think,
have
made
it
to
mediation
and
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
they're
on
the
table.
A
AB
That's
james,
your
camera
work
and
listen
guys.
Thank
you
for
caring
enough
about
your
city
to
wanting
to
do
something
to
actually
help
make
it
better.
You
know,
as
we
live
through
these
days
right
now,
we
see
a
very,
very
divided
country.
AB
I
do
believe
that
people
can
live
together
that
have
different
ideas
and
different
beliefs,
and
I
think
that's
what
makes
america
special.
I
just
hope
that
within
the
city
that
we
can
bring
those
together
in
a
productive
way
to
actually
see
results
for
everyone,
would
you
think
about
and
go
through
these
next
several
months
of
these
meetings,
just
think
about
how
that
one
dollar
of
tax
dollars
can
be
used
to
check
a
lot
of
boxes,
not
just
one.
AB
You
know:
how
are
we
spending
money
on
this
parks
program,
but
it's
not
just
to
beautify
the
park,
it's
to
make
sure
that
it's
accessible
for
the
kid
who's
in
a
wheelchair.
You
know
how
do
we
do
these
different
things
that
will
be
able
to
make
that
dollar
go
as
far
as
it
possibly
can
and
you'll
also
see
some
of
the
struggles
we
have
with
having
different
departments
a
lot
of
times.
AB
Ideas
get
siloed
and
it
really
requires
being
up
20
000
feet
to
be
able
to
break
those
silos
and
show
how
these
two
departments
can
work
together
and
you're
going
to
be
given
that
opportunity
to
see
it.
So
I
look
forward
towards
the
end
of
your
fellowship
to
be
able
to
then
get
ideas
that
you're
able
to
share
with
leah
on
ways
that
you
as
a
group
and
look
at
the
diversity
of
your
group.
It's
great
it's
pittsburgh,
they're
able
to
find
those
types
of
common
bonds.
So,
thanks
for
loving
the
city.
C
A
Okay
thanks
everyone
and
we
are
just
running
a
little
bit
behind
no
surprise,
so
we
are
going
to
slide
right
into
our
next
presentation,
so
the
the
following
presentations.
A
We
have
five
they're
going
to
be
kind
of
rapid
fire,
so
I've
asked
the
the
presenters
to
do
about
five
minutes
or
so
of
just
brief
description
of
their
commission
or
office
or
department,
and
then
leave
five
minutes
for
questions.
We
might
trail
off
of
that
a
little
bit,
but
that's
kind
of
how
we're
going
to
try
to
work
it
out.
So,
let's
start
with
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission,
I
think
we
have
chris
mitchell
and
alicia
carberry
here.
A
I
think
I
saw
afton
as
well
hi
thanks
for
joining
us.
Do
you
need
to
share
a
screen
or
are
you?
Are
you
just
going
for
it.
C
AH
Yeah,
I
do
I'm
sorry,
how
do
you
had
you
on
a
different
screen
yeah,
so
my
name
is
alicia
carberry.
I
am
a
co-chair
of
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission,
I'm
here
with
chris
mitchell,
who
will
talk
a
little
bit
in
a
bit
and
also
afton
giles,
who
is
our
city
planning
representation
on
the
commission?
So
what
is
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission?
We
were
legislated
into
existence
in
2005
by
city
council,
we're
a
group
of
18
rowdy
city
representatives,
nonprofit
representatives,
people
from
the
community
who
are
all
card-carrying
trash
cult
members.
AH
We
love
cleaning
up
trash.
We
love
talking
trash
and
working
together
to
get
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
cool
projects
going
we
meet
once
a
month.
All
of
our
meetings
are
open
to
the
public
and
we're
always
looking
for
new
ideas
and
new
voices.
AH
So
I,
in
addition
to
being
co-chair
on
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission,
I
work
in
the
mayor's
office
working
on
operations
for
the
city
and
mostly
with
public
works
and
environmental
services.
So
it's
really
fun
for
me
to
have
lots
of
crossovers
of
all
of
the
different
things
that
I
care
about.
So
with
that,
let
me
I'll
test
it
to
you
to
talk
about
the
neighborhoods
that
we
work
with
and
to
mention
garbage
olympics.
AI
We
do
a
lot
of
awesome
stuff
and
one
of
the
wonderful
things
that
we
get
to
do
is
we
get
to
work
with
communities
and
neighborhoods
we've
developed
a
lot
of
different
programs
over
the
years.
One
of
the
most
popular,
of
course,
is
the
garbage
olympics,
which
alicia
just
mentioned,
and
that's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
work
with
all
of
the
citizens
of
pittsburgh.
AI
Hundreds
of
residents
are
able
to
come
out,
and
you
know
and
take
the
time
to
clean
up
their
neighborhoods
and
show
a
little
bit
of
that
pittsburgh
pride
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
tend
to
do
is
we
usually
do
a
neighborhood
of
focus
where
we
pick
one
community
each
year
and
we've
been
able
to
really
deep
dive
and
work
closely
with
that
community
to
help
to
try
to
resolve
some
of
the
issues
that
they
have,
which
usually
involves
doing
a
lot
of
things
from
anything
from
vacant
lot
cleanup
to
riverfront
cleanup
if
you're
one
of
the
communities
that
boarded
the
riverfronts
as
well
and
each
year
we
remove
hundreds
of
thousands
of
tons
of
trash.
AI
There
were
over,
like
over
500
bags
of
trash
that
were
removed
and,
like
a
hundred
and
some
tires,
I
think
there
was
even
a
dishwasher
that
actually
was
full
of
dishes
that
was
dumped,
that
we
were
able
to
help
to
remove,
but
it's
just
a
great
honor
to
work
with
the
citizens
of
pittsburgh
and
that
we
have
that
type
of
community
support
each
year.
AH
C
AH
Well,
that's
awesome,
the
the
oh
and,
of
course,
leah
the
the
way.
The
reason
that
garbage
olympics
works
is
because
the
city
is
invested
in
private
citizens,
like
you
all
so,
whenever
councilwoman
or
council
president
sorry
kale
smith
was
talking
about
building
consensus
and
not
being
able
to
do
anything
alone,
it's
really
cool
for
me
personally
to
see
all
of
you
guys
out
making
sure
that
you're
not
doing
things
alone
so
right.
That's
it.
AI
AI
All
you
have
to
do
is
just
pretty
much
put
in
a
3-1-1
call
that
goes
to
environmentals,
that
goes
to
dpw
and
we
are
able
to
get
an
application
process
so
that,
if
you're
having
a
community
event,
you
know
we're
able
to
lend
support
by
providing
tools
by
providing
garbage
bins
by
doing
special
collection,
pickups
and
at
one
point
it
used
to
take
a
couple
of
weeks
in
order
to
get
that
done.
But
now
that
we
have
our
new
recycling
and
waste
coordinator,
I
think
it's
it
can
be
done
in
like
20
minutes.
AI
AI
We
did
the
painting
project
where
we're
able
to
make
the
making
properties
look
a
little
bit
more
hospitable
by
painting
fun
doors
and
windows,
and
things
like
that
over
top,
so
that
you're,
looking
at
more
than
just
boarded
up
housing
as
well,
which
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
approachable
for
people
when
they
want
to
do
housing
projects
and
when
they
want
to
buy
property,
particularly
our
vacant
property,
which
we
have
a
lot
of.
Please
buy
a
house.
AG
Hi
everybody
I'm
chris
mitchell,
I'm
the
anti-litter
specialist
for
department
of
public
works
and
the
outreach
coordinator
for
the
clean
pittsburgh.
Commission
we've
had
a
lot
of
you
know
great
ups
and
downs.
This
past
year
on
the
cpc
we
launched
a
newsletter
to
keep
in
constant
contact
with
all
the
people
who
we
know
are
out
there
and
care
deeply
about
getting
all
this
trash
picked
up,
and
I
I
suggest
everybody
here
sign
up
to
our
clean
pittsburgh
newsletter.
AG
The
clinton
pittsburgh
commission
really
provides
residents
great
ways
to
get
involved,
but
also
it's
this
great
network
of
all
these
people,
these
non-profits,
all
these
departments
who
are
all
working
towards
the
same
goal
and
without
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission
doing
this
networking
of
all
of
us
bolstering
each
other's
works
and
sharing
our
expertise
with
each
other
we'd
not
be
anywhere.
AG
As
far
as
we
are
right
now,
it's
really
something
to
witness
every
single
month
how
everybody
brings
together
these
these
great
efforts
that
might
all
be
done
in
the
dark
and
where
we're
able
to
really
get
it
past.
These
goals
that
need
to
be
done
and
we're
very
excited
to
continue
doing
that,
and
anybody
who
ever
wants
to
take
part
in
cleaning
up
their
neighborhood.
AH
With
with
that,
chris,
would
you
want
to
talk
about
a
recent
joint
effort
among
non-profits
in
the
city
to
expand
recycling.
AG
Yes,
we
have
worked.
The
clean
pittsburgh
commission
is
with
environmental
services
are
having
our
first
ever.
I
believe
election
sign
recycling,
so
we're
very
excited.
It's
something.
You
know
everybody's
kind
of
thought
about
every
single
election,
but
it
goes
by
so
fast.
So
we
plan
better
this
time
and
we're
like
okay,
we're
going
to
have
one
you.
AG
If
you
have
your
election
site,
you
can
drop
it
off
at
a
couple:
different
dpw
locations,
just
your
one
and
done
easy,
or
if
you
want
to
do
a
neighborhood
collection
event,
we
can
make
sure
all
this
stuff
gets
picked
up
by
dpw
and
gets
properly
recycled.
It's
not
because
every
four
years
it
all
ends
up
in
a
landfill.
So
we're
very
excited
to
get
that
done
this
year.
AH
A
Questions
yeah,
so
we're
still
kind
of
figuring
that
out
for
this
time,
but
I
think
we
have
time
for
maybe
one
or
two
questions
for
the
clean
pittsburgh.
Commission
representatives.
AH
And
maybe
I
should
just
say
the
18
members,
the
legislative
members
of
the
commission
range
from
non-profits
like
allegheny,
clean
ways
and
pennsylvania
resources
council
to
the
mayor's
office
me
permits
and
licensing
and
inspections,
a
council
office
and
different
community
representatives.
So
it's
a
it's
a
robust
sort
of
all
things
crash
in
the
city
so
to
help
frame
or
get
some
questions.
A
Yeah,
I
think
that's
helpful.
Thank
you.
Does
anyone
have
questions
for
clean
pittsburgh?
Commission.
G
Yeah
I
have
a
question,
is
there
is
I
mean
obviously
there's
plenty
of
trash
to
be
picked
up,
I'm
just
kind
of
curious.
If
there's
any
initiatives
aimed
at
keeping
trash
from
becoming
litter
in
the
first
place,.
AG
That's
something
where
we're
always
working
on
we're
the
the
first
big
one.
That's
just
really
come
together
in
a
really
great
way.
Is
the
centered
litter
cans.
You'll,
see
these
litter
cans
all
over
the
city.
They
have
sensors
in
them
now,
so
we
know
how
full
they
are
at
any
given
time
right.
So
this
does
a
couple
great
things,
one
of
which
is.
We
don't
have
to
run
by
the
same
cans
that
are
almost
empty
and
waste
all
this
gas
and
waste.
All
this
manpower,
this.
J
AG
Is
not
used
very
much
and
we
can
move
it
over
to
areas
where
we
can
go.
Okay,
that
can
is
used
a
lot
right
that
that's
a
very
big
thing.
AG
That's
just
happened,
we're
very
happy
to
get
that
going
because
we've
been
testing
the
cans
for
maybe
a
year
or
so
now
we're
looking
we're
we're
expanding
our
drop-offs
of
hard
to
recycle
things
like
tvs
and
and
the
other
things
that
you
has
not
picked
up
curbside,
so
we're
doing
that
down
in
the
strip
district
or
we're
working
to
get
more
hours
and
better
times
or
getting
it
a
lot
more
streamlined
and
that's
work
that
never
really
stops.
AG
I
do
have
you
know
in
my
office
several
different
proposals
that
we
want
to
just
keep
trying
keep
trying
keep
getting
better,
because
we
know
that
as
much
as
we
appreciate
all
the
work
that
pittsburgh
residents
do
picking
up
this
stuff,
we
have
to
get
better
at
prevention,
so
we're
going
to
be
announcing
plenty
of
those
as
they
come
along
and
we're
going
to
be
working
and
pushing
those
through.
And
it's
going
to
be
a
joint
effort
through
many
different
departments
and
with
the
non-profits
working
with
us
in
the
cpc.
AI
One
of
the
other
things
that
we're
doing
as
a
city
is
we're
also
trying
to
target
some
of
our
special
events
and
getting
some
some
more
things
together
in
terms
of
education
around
how
to
to
do
zero
waste
special
events
as
well.
We
do
have
a
zero-waste
initiative
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
to
be
waste-free
by
2023,
so
that's
probably
some
more
that
you
will
be
hearing
as
we
as
we
go
forward
towards
2023,
which
is
coming
up
really
quickly.
A
Thanks
chris
and
afton,
it
looks
like
larry
has
his
hand
raised
and
I'm
really
sorry
to
be
experimenting
here.
Can
everyone
raise
their
hands
like
larry?
Has
done
no
not
like
in
the
video,
but
you
know
it's
possible
for
you
to
do
that.
Okay
looks
like
it
is.
Okay,
great,
I
did
not
know
we
had
that
function.
This
works
better.
So
if
we
have
a
question
we
can
raise
our
hands
moving
forward.
S
Thank
you.
I
have
a
colleague
in
the
strip
who
has
been
trying
to
stay
on
top
of
a
minor
graffiti
problem.
Unsuccessfully
she's
been
working
primarily
with
the
police
department
and
they
have
principally
said
they
can
only
do
something
if
they
catch
people
in
the
act
is
graffiti
in
your
purview
and
if
not,
where
would
you
recommend
return.
AH
So
I'll
I'll
start
that
chris
looks
like
you're,
so
I
would
always
recommend
and
I'm
sure
this
will
come
up
multiple
times.
I
would
always
recommend
starting
with
three
on
one,
the
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission
is
kind
of
a
a
peripheral.
AH
You
know
city
commission,
but
we
are
not
paid
to
be
as
such,
so
we
always
defer
with
starting
a
ticket
with
three
on
one
and
then
we
could
help
to
advocate,
as
you
know,
moves
from
the
police
to
inspect
and
then
public
works
to
potentially
clean
it
up.
AH
If
your
friend
would
be
interested
in,
you
know,
sharing
some
of
the
details
and
may
have
a
creative
solution.
The
commission
that
would
fit
well.
A
Okay,
thank
you
clean
pittsburgh.
Commission.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
tonight,
really
appreciate
it.
I
will
be
posting
some
of
the
resources
that
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission
mentioned
on
our
engage
pgh
page,
so
you
can
kind
of
follow
up
and
explore
some
of
the
things
that
they
were
talking
about,
especially
their
newsletter.
So
I
will
definitely
send
a
link
to
the
group
so
that
everyone
can
sign
up
and
stay
informed.
C
A
Feel
free
to
stick
around
so
next
we're
going
to
hear
from
jam
hammond
who
is
the
acting
director
for
the
commission
on
human
relations.
C
AJ
Maybe
I'll
try
another
way,
but
I'll
just
start
talking
for
now.
So
I
am
the
acting
director
for
the
pittsburgh
mission
on
human
relations.
The
commission
is
the
city
of
pittsburgh's.
My
commission
is
the
city
of
pittsburgh's
anti-discrimination
law
enforcement
agency.
AJ
We
enforce
this.
The
the
civil
rights
laws
in
housing,
employment
and
public
accommodations,
mainly
so
that
would
be
anyone
who's
working
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Anyone
who's
living
or
seeking
a
home
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
then
anybody
who
who
is
visiting
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
to
clarify
a
public
accommodation,
is
any
place
that
is
open
to
the
public
for
business,
whether
it's
a
physical
location
or
you
know,
services.
AJ
Another
area
of
enforcement,
for
us
is
civil
rights.
It's
or
it's
what
we
call
a
civil
rights
complaint,
it's
less
commonly
reported,
but
it
happens
whenever
there's
something
to
something
to
report.
AJ
Regarding
discrimination
by
by
a
person
who
is
working
for
the
city
at
the
time
or
delivering
city
services
and
those
are
invested
in
the
same
type
of
process
as
it's
most,
it's
most
like
a
public
accommodations
complaint
and
the
other.
The
one
other
thing
that
we
do
is
called
a
community
detention.
AJ
We
don't
really
call
the
community
attention
complaint,
but
when
there
are
a
group
of
one
or
more
groups
or
two
or
more
groups
of
people
who
are
interacting
in
one
space
and
who
are
struggling
to
to
come
to
understanding
and
that
that
misunderstanding
is
based
around
a
protected
class,
then
they
can
come
to
us
and
we
can
offer
something
like
a
community
mediation.
AJ
And
that
kind
of
brings
me
to
what
is
a
protected
class,
and
oh
I'm
on
here,
but
I'm
like
sideways.
AJ
So
a
protected
class
is
a
characteristic
of
you
that
you
cannot
alienate
from
your
person
more
more
likely
than
not,
and
it's
something
that
you
you
can't
change
and
that
is
protected
under
the
law
against
discrimination.
AJ
So
some
examples
of
protected
classes
are
religion,
race,
ancestry,
color,
some
one,
that's
somewhere
specific
to
a
to
a
an
enforcement
area
like
in
housing.
The
status
as
a
survivor
of
domestic
violence
is
protected
and
familial
status
is
protected,
whereas
in
employment
you
might
have
pregnancy
protections
so
anytime
that
we're
talking
about
illegal
discrimination.
AJ
It's
discrimination
that
is
based
on
one
of
those
protected
classes,
and
you
know
other
types
of
discrimination
may
exist,
but
unless
it's
under
one
of
those
protected
classes
we're
limited
in
what
we
can
file
so
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
filing
process.
AJ
When
you
go
to
contact
the
commission
on
human
relations,
and
so
I'm
the
acting
director,
I'm
also
the
intake
coordinator
and
the
outreach
coordinator.
So
if
you
want
to
contact
us
more
likely
than
not
the
first
person
you'll
talk
to
is
me-
and
you
know
you'll,
give
me
an
overview
of
what
happened
where
it
happened.
So
I
can
make
sure
it's
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
when
it
happened.
AJ
So
I
can
make
sure
it's
within
the
past
365
days
and
then,
if
it
meets
those
criteria,
then
we'll
we'll
file,
we'll
write
up
a
complaint,
you'll
sign
and
then
we'll
send
it
to
the
respondent.
AJ
That's
the
person
who
you've
charged
with
discrimination
that
respondent
will
have
an
opportunity
to
respond
and
to
say
you
know
this
is
my
take
on
the
situation
and
then
it
goes
to
an
investigation
where
one
of
our
investigators
will
ask
you.
Do
you
have
any
evidence
witnesses
diary
that
you
kept
any
kind
of
thing
to
corroborate
your
story?
They'll
ask
the
same
thing
of
the
respondent
and
they'll
come
to
a
recommended
finding
which
will
go
to
the
commission.
AJ
That
brings
us
again
then,
to
a
little
bit
about
the
commission.
So
I'm
a
commissioned
staff
person,
but
the
commission
is
a
15
person
group
of
people
who
are
all
pittsburghers,
there's
no
specific
requirement
of
like
a
legal
background
or
any
kind
of
you
know
education
requirement
for
commissioner.
Really
what
we're
looking
for
in
commissioners
are.
You
know
pittsburghers
who
have
a
mind
for
fairness
and
civil
rights
and
if
the
complaint
goes
well,
complaints
get
to
recommended
finding.
We
have
two
sections
of
the
commission.
AJ
One
section
does
compliance
review,
so
they
read
through
the
case.
As
you
know,
a
a
regular
pittsburgher.
We
don't
have
anyone
with
a
law
degree
at
the
moment.
So
it's
you
know
a
lay
person's
point
of
view,
but
they're
looking
to
see
does
does
the
finding
make
sense
to
them
and
if
it
does,
then
it
goes
past
that
stage.
AJ
If
the
finding
was
something
that
we'll
call
probable
cause,
which
means
that
more
likely
than
not,
we
believe
that
discrimination
did
occur
then,
hopefully
it
would
go
to
a
conciliation
process
which
is
mandatory
at
that
stage.
Conciliation
is
similar
to
mediation,
but
mediation
is
possible
anytime.
During
the
process
we
love
mediation
and
we,
you
know,
can
do
mediation
for
many
number
of
things,
but
at
the
point
of
probable
cause
once
it
gets
to
that
point,
it
becomes
mandatory.
AJ
We
call
it
conciliation
and
if
the
parties
can't
come
to
a
mutual
understanding,
it
goes
to
public
hearing,
which
is
the
other
section
of
the
commission,
and
they
will
hear
the
entire
facts
of
the
complaint
and
then
come
to
a
finding
themselves
where
they
can
award
damages,
or
you
know,
make
an
order
of
something
like
compliance
with
monitoring
or
training
or
something
like
that
and
those
findings
are,
can
be
upheld
in
a
court
of
law
and
that's
just
about
the
whole
process.
AJ
The
other
section
of
our
activities
has
to
do
with
outreach
and
education.
So
that's
one
of
the
main
parts
of
my
job.
Besides
intake,
you
know
we
go
out
to
the
community,
we
make
sure
that
people
know
how
to
file
how
to
find
us
and
that
they
have
rights
and
that
we
exist
a
lot
of
pittsburghers,
don't
know
that
they
do
have
a
remedy
when
it
comes
to
discrimination.
AJ
The
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
sometimes
it's
unclear
what
is
or
isn't
discrimination-
and
you
know
I'm
always
here
email
me
call
me
call
me
you
can
now
that
we're
remote.
We
have
google
voice,
so
you
can
text
me
too
anytime.
You
even
suspect
that
you
have
experienced
discrimination,
feel
free
to
give
us
a
call.
We
have
no
problem,
you
know
talking
about
whether
or
not
something
was
or
wasn't,
discrimination
or
whether
you
could
file
that's
just
about
it.
For
me,
I
know
I'm
on
two
screens.
A
That's
okay.
Thank
you.
Jam
really
appreciate
that.
I'm
sure
that
there's
a
lot
of
questions
chr
always
has
a
lot
of
questions
and
a
lot
of
interest,
but
we
are
running
pretty
low
on
time.
So
let's
try
one
or
two
questions
for
jam,
so
we
can
get
through
today.
It
looks
like
ali
has
a
question.
D
Yes,
hi,
I'm
curious
what
if
something
happens
in
the
workplace,
what
is
in
the
purview
of
the
commission
and
can
you
is
there
anything?
The
commission
recommends
to
people
around
pittsburgh
to
sort
of
be
upstanders
in
reminding
people
who
you
know
could
be
aggrieved
and
have
something
to
take.
You
know
to
the
commission
to
to
take
action
on
it.
So
so
often
people
who
might
be
hurt
in
these
ways
feel
particularly
vulnerable
and
may
not
know
or
may
not
feel
really
empowered
to
bring
it
to
the
commission.
AJ
Yeah,
that's
a
really
really
good
question.
I
would
say
two
things.
The
first
is
that,
besides
protected
classes,
we
have
something
that's
called
a
protected
activity.
A
protected
activity
is
any
time
that
you
attempt
to
access
civil
rights
or
protect
civil
rights.
AJ
So
we
have
had
complaints
where
somebody
who,
in
this
example,
somebody
who
was
not
specifically
a
person
of
color,
say
that
you
know
they
were
offended
by
you
know
something
that
that
that
in
the
workplace
that
could
have
amounted
to
harassment
of
people
of
color
and
by
saying
that
they
were
protected,
and
so
when
an
employer
retaliated
against
them,
they
had
engaged
in
a
protected
activity.
They
could
file
with
us.
So
just
saying
that
you
oppose
discrimination,
that
you
oppose
the
violation
of
a
person.
AJ
Civil
rights
is
a
protected
activity
and
you
can
file
on
that.
The
other
thing
that
I
would
say
is
you
know
we.
I've
had
countless
conversations
with
people,
you
know
15
20,
minutes,
30
minutes
and
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
they've
decided
not
to
file.
We've
done
a
lot
of
different
things.
I
will
you
know,
write
up
a
whole
complaint
and
some
will
say:
can
you
hold
on
to
it,
for
you
know
for
a
couple
of
weeks,
while
I
think
about
it,
that's
completely
fine.
AJ
You
know
it's,
I'm
always
open
to
have
a
conversation.
You
know
if
you
just
if
someone
wanted
to
have
me,
write
up
the
complaint
and
then
to
contact
them
once
we
get
to
like
the
360th
day
and
if
they
still
haven't
decided.
That's
you
know
completely
fine,
it's
it's
important
for
for
us
to
realize
as
a
commission
that
this
is
not
our
risk.
It's
our
work,
but
it's
not
our
risk
that
that's
on
the
line.
It's
somebody
else's
risk,
they're
they're,
putting
themselves
out
there
and
it's
their
job.
A
Thanks
so
much
jam
and
unfortunately
I
think
in
the
interest
of
time
we're
just
gonna
have
to
move
on,
but
what
I'll
do
since
we're
so
crunched
here
is.
I
will
provide
a
question
and
answer
activity
on
engage
pgh,
so
you
can
post
your
questions
there
and
I
will
provide
public
responses
from
from
our
representatives
to
make
sure
that
all
questions
get
answered.
Go
ahead.
Jim.
AJ
Let
me
just
answer
really
quickly.
I
almost
forgot
this
question
was
in
the
chat
when
it
comes
to
ada
law
enforcement.
If
it's
public
accommodations,
then
it's
us
the
commission.
If
it's
an
ada
problem
that
happens
within
the
city,
the
city
has
its
own
coordinator
for
ada,
so
the
city
has
an
ada
coordinator.
Her
name
is
hillary
roman
and
you
can
contact
her
for
anything.
AJ
That
was
a
city
service
that
where
the
ada
could
have
been
violated,
I'm
not
sure
if
that
answered
the
question
but
feel
free
to
email,
me
too,
or
call
me
I'll,
put
my
information
in
the
chat.
A
AK
AK
Actually
we
were
the
vision
of
bob
o'connor
and
he
really
didn't
get
to
see
us
come
to
fruition
because
he
passed
away
before
we
had
our
grand
opening.
AK
So
we've
we've
been
in
in
operation
since
then.
Now
we
have
a
total
of
12
staff
people.
I
have
a
combination
of
full-time
and
part-time.
We
also
expanded
our
hours
since
we
started.
Originally.
It
was
eight
to
four
thirty.
Now
we're
open
from
eight
a.m
until
six
pm
and
there's
a
lot
of
channels
to
access
us
in
addition
to
calling
311,
you
can
also
tweet
us
at
pgh311.
AK
You
can
go
online
and
fill
out
the
web
form.
We
have
a
mobile
app
called
myberg,
that's
available
on
android
and
ios,
it's
free
to
download
and
it's
really
easy
to
use.
It
offers
an
opportunity
to
send
pictures
with
that
as
well
and
let's
see
yeah.
So
when
we
first
started
311,
we
were
understaffed
and
we
had
a
really
old
database
from
the
late
1980s.
AK
When
mayor
peduto
came
in
one
of
the
first
things
he
did
was
he
got
us
software
that
is
appropriate
for
this
century
and
it's
it's
allowed
us
to
connect
a
lot
more
with
citizens.
So
we
we
appreciate
everything
you
do.
AK
We
take
calls
for
every
different
department
from
the
police
to
public
works,
to
permits,
licensing
and
inspections
in
2019
we
took
about
86
000
calls
and
we
processed
about
95,
000
service
requests
and
also
in
that
year
our
top
request
types
were
potholes,
which
shouldn't
be
a
surprise
for
anyone
next
on
the
list
was
weeds
and
debris
and
that's
problems
with
private
property.
Your
neighbors,
not
cutting
their
grass
or
a
vacant
lot,
is
overgrown
building
maintenance,
which
also
goes
to
permits
licenses
and
inspections.
AK
And
then,
even
though
it's
seasonal,
our
fourth
type
request
or
common
request
type
in
2019,
was
actually
snow
and
ice.
So
we
have
a
lot
to
keep
us
busy.
A
A
AA
Hi,
I
was
just
curious
what
you
thought
you
mentioned
having
an
app.
But
what
do
you
see
as
technology,
you
can
use
to
kind
of
grow
and,
like
people
aren't
really
necessarily
using
telephones
to
actually
call
people?
What
do
you
see
311
in
their
position
to
kind
of
just
utilize
technology,
as
we
advance.
AK
The
app
actually
is
not
as
popular
as
I
envisioned
and
twitter
really
surprised
me
with
how
popular
it
is.
It's
been
a
very
we've
gotten,
so
many
tweets
that
our
vendor
for
our
our
software
actually
built
build
it
into
our
our
system.
So
the
tweets
come
directly
into
our
database
now,
which
is
really
helpful.
AK
H
Bill,
but
would
would
there
ever
or
do
you
guys
ever
like
take
interns
or
or
do
anything
with
like
interns,
in
that
in
the
in
that
call
center?
Would
that
be
something
that
would
ever
be
possible.
AK
Oh
definitely
bill.
We,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
when
we
first
started,
we've
had
some
really
severe
staffing
issues,
so
we've
been
very
creative
with
staffing
for
a
while.
We
used
injured
employees,
for
example
school
crossing
guard.
You
have
to
be
at
a
hundred
percent
to
be
able
to
escort
the
kids
safely
so.
AK
AK
V
Great
have
a
quick
question,
my
grandmother.
She
has
a
lot.
That's
like
abandoned
next
to
her.
She
actually
asked
if
she
could
bath
a
lot,
but
the
city
wouldn't
let
her
buy
it
so
like
because
you
know
it
keeps
getting.
You
know
I
guess,
like
the
weeds,
keep
getting
high.
So
of
course,
she's
not
gonna,
keep
she's
86
years
old
and
we're
not
going
to
take
care
of
it
because
we
asked
to
buy
it,
but
the
city's
not
taking
care
of
it.
V
AK
What
are
you
sure
that
it's
city
owned?
Yes
at
city
end?
Okay,
basically,
the
deal
with
city
on
properties
is
we
have
a
hard
time
keeping
up
with
them?
The
city
has
a
lot
more
property
than
we
can
manage
so.
Y
AK
Lucky
if
we
can
get
it
cut
once
or
twice
a
year,
okay
311
is
actually
the
best
option.
We
do
do
what
we
can
to
get
those
taken
care
of
now
as
far
as
not
being
able
to
purchase
it.
There
is
a
side
lot
program
and
I
think
maybe
we
could
dig
deeper
there
if
you
want
to
call
me
at
some
point,
give
me
more
details.
I'd
be
happy
to
investigate
further.
Y
Yeah,
I
have
a
question:
okay,.
Y
I
don't
know
if
you'd
be
the
appropriate
person
to
contact,
but
I
live
in
squirrel
hill
on
a
street,
that's
actually
flat,
so
people
have
been
racing
down
this
street
for
the
last
30
years
that
I've
lived
here
and
I've
called
several
times
to
get
speed
bumps.
A
Thank
you,
yep
and
so
traffic
call
me
yep
yeah,
so
you
can't
submit
a
traffic
calming
request
through
the
city
of
pittsburgh's
website.
I
just
want
to
also
keep
in
mind
that
you
know,
while
wendy's
team
does
the
intake
for,
for
anything
like
a
vacant
lot
or
an
overgrown
property
or
speed
humps,
or
something
like
that.
That's
sort
of
like
the
touch
point
right
like
that.
First
touch
point
and
all
of
those
issues
get
routed
to
departments
that
we
will
be
meeting
with
during
the
civic
leadership
academy.
A
So
you
will
actually
be
meeting
with
directors
from
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
who
are
in
charge
of
the
traffic
calming
program
and
brandi
will
be
meeting
with
people
who
are
in
charge
of
in
the
department
of
public
works
in
charge
of
cleaning
liens,
and
things
like
that.
So
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
kind
of
these
broader
questions
to
be
answered
within
this
program
as
well.
A
A
Right
next
up,
we
have
aaron
bruni
from
the
office
of
municipal
investigations.
AL
Good
evening
everybody
hope
you
can
hear
me,
I'm
erin
bruni
manager,
at
the
office
of
municipal
investigations.
Our
office
basically
has
three
functions.
The
first
is
residency.
Compliance
for
city
employees,
police
officers
are
exempt
from
that
now.
The
next
is
public
safety.
Background
investigations,
pre-employment
background
investigations,
so
that's
all
of
our
police,
fire
and
medics,
but
the
largest
chunk
of
what
our
work
is
is
to
investigate
misconduct,
allegations
against
city
employees
and
we
receive
those
both
from
the
public
which
they
can
be.
We
can
get
them
a
number
of
different
ways.
AL
Folks
can
call
our
office.
They
used
to
be
able
to
walk
in
we're
kind
of
discouraging
that
right
now
and
try
to
do
by
appointment.
Only
because
a
lot
of
us
are
teleworking,
but
if
we're
there,
we
will
take
a
complaint
wendy.
Will
her
folks
will
forward
things
over
to
us
to
investigate
department
and
bureau
directors
will
send
us
complaints
for
issues
that
they
would
like
to
have
investigated
by
someone?
That's
not
a
supervisor
in
that
department.
AL
Back
in
the
day,
we
would
often
have
you
know,
white
pieces
of
paper
slipped
under
our
door
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
within
it
with
an
allegation
under
it,
we'll
take
things
by
mail
by
fax.
However,
it
gets
to
us
nowadays.
Folks
are
tagging
the
mayor's
office
on
on
social
media
and
those
things
will
end
up
their
way
to
us.
We
are
not
a
law
enforcement
agency,
so
what
we're
conducting
are
administrative
investigations
we
do
about
250
of
these
a
year.
AL
AL
What
we
call
like
a
no
dhr
complaint,
where
someone
would
make
a
complaint
about
retaliation,
discrimination
or
harassment
in
the
workplace.
I
will
say
that
our
role
has
expanded
so
that
we
are
taking
on
investigations
on
a
much
broader
basis
against
all
other
kinds
of
city
employees.
The
range
of
those
complaints
is
anything
from
a
verbal
abuse.
You
know,
maybe
somebody
interacts
with
an
employee
in
a
park
or
in
the
building,
or
has
a
traffic
encounter
with
someone
who
is
at
work
in
a
city
vehicle
words.
AL
AL
Again
we're
going
to
take
anything
from
a
verbal
interaction
that
took
place
up
to
a
use
of
force
situation,
a
legal
search
and
seizure
or
something
of
that
nature.
Our
staff
is
we're
different,
but
than
the
citizen
police
review
board.
Our
staff
is
mad,
I'm
a
civilian
manager.
I
have
a
police
sergeant
and
a
civilian
intake
coordinator,
and
then
our
staff
is
equally
split
between
police,
detectives
and
civilian
investigators.
AL
So
it
is
a
nice
mix
of
having
folks
that
are
experienced
law
enforcement
professionals
and
then
also
civilian
investigators
to
try
to
get
both
sides
of
that
analysis,
and
you
know
discussion
when
folks
are
working
on
cases.
But
when
something
comes
in
we're
doing
our
we're
a
fact
finder,
we
are
not
a
part
of
the
disciplinary
process.
We
are
kept
separate
from
that,
so
we
really
don't
have
a
stake
in
the
game.
We're
just
trying
to
find
out
what
happened.
AL
So
our
investigators
will
go
out
and
we'll
look
for
witnesses.
Look
for
documents.
You
know
nowadays,
there's
cameras
anywhere,
so
we're
looking
for
those.
AL
If
there's
any
footage
in
that
regard,
body,
worn
cameras
have
been
a
good
resource
for
us,
it's
not
the
end
all
and
be
all,
but
they
have
become
a
good
resource
for
us,
and
you
know
once
my
investigators
have
come
to
a
conclusion.
As
far
as
what
took
place,
they
will
render
a
disposition
and
we
have
four
of
those
if
we
determine
that
something
did
not
happen
as
the
person
alleged.
Maybe
we
have
footage
that
contradicts
what
the
allegation
was.
AL
AL
We
do
have
a
disposition
called
not
resolved
where
we
have
a
lot
of
facts
on
both
sides,
but
those
contradict
each
other
and
everyone
seems
to
be
credible.
So
there's
no
reason
not
to
believe
the
other
person,
but
we
just
weren't
there.
We
don't
have
anything
to
say
what
happened.
So.
That's
closed
is
not
resolved.
AL
We
have
an
exonerated
disposition
which
is
yes,
whatever
the
person
alleged
to
us
is
in
fact
what
happened,
but
it
was
per
policy.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
Folks
will
call
in
and
they're
upset,
because
they're
it's
a
neighborhood
dispute
and
a
police
officer
shows
up
and
no
one
gets,
arrested
or
they're
told
everyone's
getting
arrested
and
the
officer
basically
tells
them.
You
know
if
you
want
to
handle
this
situation,
you
go
to
a
magistrate
and
people
aren't
happy
with
that.
But
that
is
the
prop.
AL
That's
the
proper
disposition
of
that
case
so
that
those
types
of
things
are
closely
exonerated
and
then
we
have
sustained
allegations,
which
is
yes,
something
happened
and
it
violated
policy.
We
close
it
as
sustained
and
then
it
gets
forwarded
to
the
you
know
whether
it's
the
chief
of
police,
the
fire
chief
emf's
chief,
you
know
a
departmental
director
of
city
parks,
then
you
know
that
director
then
decides
you
know
what
was
the
complaint?
AL
How
serious
was
it
and
you
know,
based
on
their
history,
what
level
of
discipline
should
we
do
we
deliver
and
then
we
they
return
it
to
us,
but
we're
not
part
of
that
disciplinary
process.
The
departments
handle
that
on
their
own.
AL
We
try
to
get
our
stuff
done
in
about
120
days
the
amount
of
work
that
we've
been
doing
like
if
we're
doing
background
investigations.
Those
have
to
be
done
within
six
weeks.
So
a
lot
of
times.
We
have
to
put
a
stop
on
complaints.
I
mean
due
to
covid,
you
know
we're
waiting
for
just
the
court
disposition,
so
a
lot
of
our
stuff
has
been
slowed
or
delayed.
Just
because
we're
waiting
on
you
know
being
able
to
do
interviews
stuff.
AL
We
can
do
with
the
phone
we
do,
but
if
we
need
to
sit
down
with
somebody,
so
we
can
watch
video
together
or
share.
You
know
evidence
and
sit
down
with
someone.
Some
of
those
complaints
have
been
slowed,
but
other
than
that
that's
kind
of
what
omi
does.
AL
In
a
nutshell,
I
forwarded
an
email
to
leah
that
has
our
the
2019
annual
report,
which
has
our
stats
and
basically
shows
what
kind
of
complaints
we're
getting
in
how
those
are
disposed,
the
number
of
backgrounds
we're
doing,
etc,
as
well
as
a
brochure
that
we
would
hand
out.
We
would
try
to
go
to
community
events
in
various
parts
of
the
city
and
you
know
be
able
to
take
intakes,
or
at
least
give
people
information,
the
brochures
and
stuff.
AL
That
said
what
we
do
and
how
the
process
works
and
answer
questions
in
that
regard,
but
otherwise
I
can
take
a
couple
questions
if
we're
short
on
time.
You
know
I
can
answer
those
later.
A
M
Yeah,
hey
aaron,
I'm
just
curious.
How
does
your,
how
does
your
office
interface
with
the
the
citizen
police
review
board.
AL
Sure
so
we
can
do
concurrent
investigations
so
if
we
basically
refer
all
complaints
to
each
other
unless,
if
someone's
files
with
a
cprb
and
they're
like
no,
I
don't
want
an
office
that
has
police
officers
in
it
to
investigate
it.
They
don't
have
to
forward
it
over
to
us
we're
dictated
by
city
code
to
send
all
citizen
complaints
over
the
cprb,
not
necessarily
those
that
are
sent
to
us
by
departmental
directors,
and
they
only
handle
police
cases.
So
anything
that
has
to
do
with
environmental
services
or
pli
we're
not
sending
those
to
them
either.
AL
But
you
know
a
lot
of
times:
they
don't
have
access
to
certain
resources
that
we
do
because
we
do
have
police
officers
in
our
office.
So
they
will,
you
know,
send
over
requests
for
documentation
that
they
that
gets
pushed
back
out
to
them,
so
that
they're
they
can.
It
can
be
reviewed
by
their
investigators
and
at
a
public
hearing
if
need
be,
but
they're
really
separate.
I
mean
we
don't
talk
to
each
other
about
the
dispositions
of
our
cases,
but
they
can
happen
at
the
same
time.
A
B
Whitney
did
you
have
your
hand
raised.
Z
Yes,
as
far
as
a
formal
complaint,
would
you
would
you
follow
it
through
your
office,
or
would
it
be
some
sort
of
separate
entity
that
you
would
buy
the
formal
complaint.
AL
No,
you
can
file
a
complaint
with
our
office
like
if
you
call
to
us
and
a
lot
of
people
can
make
a
complaint
over
the
phone.
That
is
one
difference
between
us
and
the
cprb.
They
require
a
notarized
document
with
your
statement,
but
basically
that's
all
we
need
is
information
from
you
to
identify
when
and
where
the
incident
happens.
So
we
can
start
to
identify
who
the
accused
employee
is.
You
know
and
find
out
what
the
allegations
are
and
a
lot
of
times.
AL
A
Thanks
aaron
thanks
for
joining
us
tonight,
like
I
said,
if
there's
any
more
questions,
we
can
handle
those
offline
and,
let's
move
on
to
our
final
presenter
of
the
night,
gwendolyn
bolden
from
the
pittsburgh
parking
authority,
director
of
on-street
parking
welcome,
gwendolyn.
AM
Hi
there
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
I
was
gonna,
try
to
share
my
screen,
but
maybe
I'll
just
go
through
it
because
I
know
we're
pushed
for
a
turn.
AM
AM
Another
one
of
our
mission
statements
is
to
uniformly
enforce
parking,
ordinances
and
laws
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
the
commonwealth
of
pennsylvania
to
advance
the
economic
development
of
the
region
and
to
maintain
our
status
as
a
below
market
price
leader
throughout
the
service
area.
So
our
prices
for
parking
are
going
to
be
a
lot
lower
than
private
companies
that
you
see
out
there.
We
have
a
five-member
board
that
is
appointed
by
the
mayor.
AM
We
have
an
executive
director,
david
honorado
and
the
departments
within
the
parking
authority.
Are
we
have
our
administration
enforcement
and
meter
services?
That's
my
area,
finance
project
management
and
parking
services,
which
is
all
the
garages
and
then
another
portion
of
our
operation
is
the
pittsburgh
parking
court.
AM
We
maintain
three
budgets
for
the
city:
one
is
our
general
fund
budget,
one
for
capital
improvements
and
our
budget
for
parking
court.
Our
payments
to
the
city
in
2019
were
29.9
million,
so
we're
not
keeping
the
money
we're
not
trying
to
write
a
whole
bunch
of
tickets.
We
have
11
parking
garages
and
two
attended
lots.
AM
AM
We've
got
28
812
parking
spaces
just
within
the
central
business
district.
Our
garage
spaces
are
controlled
when
we
have
8
638
garage
spaces
controlled
by
the
parking
authority
in
the
central
business
district
28
of
the
garages
are
controlled
by
ppap
parking
authority.
AM
AM
I'm
going
to
share
this
information
with
leah,
because
it's
a
lot
of
information
in
our
slideshow.
That
is,
is
helpful
for
you
guys
to
go
back
and
look
at.
It
includes
everything
with
all
of
our
rates
for
the
garages
and
then
we've
got
31
surface
lots
which
equal
about
1600
spaces
around
the
city.
AM
AM
We
moved
from
the
single
space
meters
that
controlled
every
parking
space
to
the
multi-space
meter,
where
we
can
use
one
parking
meter
for
usually
up
to
20
or
more
parking
spaces.
AM
AM
Our
meter
rates
throughout
the
city-
they
we've
looked
at
some
dynamic
pricing,
so
you're
going
to
see
higher
prices
in
downtown
areas
and
then
you're
going
to
see
smaller
lower
rates
when
you
get
out
among
other
areas
of
the
city,
so
they
go
from
four
dollars
in
the
downtown
area
three
dollars
in
oakland,
then,
when
you
get
into
some
of
the
neighborhoods
it's
a
dollar
fifty
an
hour
and
some
even
down
to
a
dollar
an
hour.
AM
We're
really
excited
about
our
pgh
go
mobile
campaign,
and
that
was
one
to
get
mobile
parking
involved.
So
you
can
now
pay
for
your
parking
via
your
phone.
AM
We
use
park
mobile
and
they've
created
an
app
for
us
that
is
just
specific
to
pittsburgh,
so
it's
called
go
mobile
parking
and
in
your
packets
that
you
get
you'll,
see
instructions
for
signing
up
and
using
that
as
well.
It
makes
it
real
easy
not
to
have
to
remember
your
license
number
or
what
area
you're
in
we
enforce
monday
through
friday
monday.
I'm
sorry
monday
through
saturday
from
8
00
am
to
6
p.m
and
prior
to
covet,
we
would
enforce
our
lot
areas
from
8
a.m.
AM
Until
10
p.m,
monday,
through
saturday,
we're
just
getting
back
into
our
with
our
enforcement
teams
now
so
we're
not
doing
any
of
the
evening
enforcement
we're
only
going
until
6
pm
and
then
on
the
south
side,
we've
got
what's
called
the
parking
enhancement
district,
which
operates
friday
and
saturday
evenings
and
enforcement
goes
from
eight
to
midnight,
with
the
with
no
enforcement
on
on
sundays,
unless
there's
a
steeler
day,
and
that's
only
when
we
get
back
to
normal
operations.
AM
AM
We
are
responsible
for
selling
the
permits
and
the
visitor
passes.
We
enforce
all
the
districts.
The
districts
we've
got
38
residential
parking
areas,
currently
that's
equal
to
about
447
streets
in
the
program
and
those
areas
are
set
up
based
on
the
citizens
of
that
area.
They
decide
that
they
want
their
area
included
and
there's
a
process
that
you
go
through
with
the
city
to
determine.
If
your
area
meets
the
criteria.
AM
We
enforce
using
it
to
the
the
residential
parking
areas
using
a
technology
of
license
plate
recognition,
so
we've
got
vehicles,
that'll
drive
by
through
a
neighborhood,
it
collects
the
plate
information
and
then,
if
that
vehicle
is
still
there,
two
hours
or
one
hour
later,
whatever
the
rules
are
for
that
area,
then
that's
how
the
officers
know
whether
or
not
a
citation
should
be
issued.
AM
Citations
are
issued
by
the
parking
authority,
but
they
are
any
ticket.
Written
is
adjudicated
through
parking
court
parking
court
hours
of
operation
are,
of
course,
they've
changed.
I
keep
looking
at
my
pages,
but
they've
changed
you
because
of
covet,
so
everything
is
online
right
now.
So,
as
we
get
back
into
normal
operations,
their
hours
will
be
9
a.m,
to
3
p.m,
on
mondays
and
wednesdays,
and
then
tuesdays
and
thursdays
from
9
00
a.m
to
8
8pm.
AM
AM
I
believe
that's
it.
We've
won
a
few
awards
in
our
days,
so
we're
really
proud.
We
we're
part
of
an
international
parking
institute,
and
david
honorado
happens
to
be
the
chair
for
that
right
now.
So
we're
really
proud
of
our
awards
that
we've
received
over
the
years
one
being
an
award
of
excellence
for
best
parking
facilities.
AM
A
AM
A
Yeah,
so
I
see
your
question
here,
andrea
and
I
will
let
gwen
speak
to
this,
but
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
more
of
a
question
for
our
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure.
Who
actually
is
is
a
little
bit
more
in
charge
of
speeding
and
traffic,
and
things
like
that.
A
A
Okay,
so
it
says
in
hazelwood,
public
on-street
parking
and
business
districts
is
hazardous
to
the
safety
of
people
attempting
to
exit
their
parked
vehicles
because
speed
limits
and
road
rage
of
motorists.
AM
That
is
something
that
would
go
through
domi
to
look
at
speed
calming.
Y
I
have
a
question
about
the
go
mobile
app.
Well,
I
I
downloaded
it
downloaded
it
and
used
it
for
a
while,
and
then
it
stopped
working
so
somewhere.
Maybe
on
one
of
the
meters
I
saw
a
phone
number
to
call
or
to
email
I
did
whatever
I
was
able
to
find
out
to
do,
and
nobody
ever
got
back
to
me
and
I
can't
use
the
app.
AM
Y
AF
AN
Mobile
app
and
that's
the
app
that
I
use
now,
it's
the
park
mobile
app,
so
I
don't
know
what.
AM
They
are
both
the
same
thing
park.
Mobile
is
our
vendor
that
provides
that
provides
our
mobile
parking
and
they've
just
created
a
shell
for
us,
so
we
can
advertise
it
as
our
own,
so
the
go
mobile
app
is
the
park
mobile,
app.
A
A
I
I
don't
expect
most
sessions
to
go
this
this
far
overtime,
just
because
we'll
have
a
lot
fewer
departments
to
get
through
moving
forward,
we'll
have
a
chance
to
kind
of
go
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
with
departments.
They'll
have
a
lot
more
time
to
talk
with
us.
A
A
I've
been
taking
notes
so
I'll,
be
posting
all
the
resources
and
supplemental
materials
that
have
been
brought
up
tonight
for
the
sessions
in
the
sessions
tab
on
our
website,
but
other
than
that
it's
been
great
to
meet
all
of
you
I'll
stick
around
and
zoom.
If
anyone
has
any
questions,
but
I
hope
you
have
a
great
night
stay
safe,
get
some
sleep
hopefully
and
have
a
good.
