A
A
B
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
today's
standing
committee,
a
meeting
for
Wednesday
February
19
2020,
our
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
Anyone
wishing
to
comment
before
City
Council
has
three
minutes
to
do
so.
Please
give
your
name
and
neighborhood
for
the
record.
The
green
light
will
indicate
the
start
of
your
three
minutes.
The
yellow
light
indicates
you
have
one
minute
to
summarize,
and
the
red
light
comes
on.
Your
time
is
up.
Maybe
please
have
the
first
speaker.
C
C
C
Why
have
these
two
counselors
with
so
much
Catholicism
in
their
background
and
foreground,
not
advocated
pursuit
of
Roman
Catholic
priests
in
our
city
who
have
assaulted
our
children?
There
has
been
no
public
statement.
Mr.
O'connor
is
now
looking
at
his
phone.
You
can
look
down
all
you
like.
It's
not.
The
point
is
this:
you
haven't
done
anything
or
haven't
said
anything
on
behalf
of
our
children.
C
A
concern
of
council
is
public
comment,
so
we
think
citizens
are
miss
Kraus
mr.
Kraus
Neal,
Smith,
MS
gross
mr.
Burgess
and
Ms
pre
and
miss
Chris.
Are
they
more
Pro
or
more
anti
public
comment?
I
think
that
all
of
the
above
mentioned,
including
this
council,
should
consult
Haney
versus
Roberts.
It's
coming
to
you.
C
Concern
of
council
is
transparency
regarding
biosafety
in
our
in
our
city
and
in
our
country
citizens.
Are
you
aware
that
this
council
has
not
taken
any
position
on
the
availability
availability
of
the
2019
NCO
V
coronavirus?
It
is
afflicting
China
and
the
rest
of
the
world.
The
University
of
Pittsburgh
now
has
a
sample
of
that.
C
We
have
not
been
consulted
about
this.
There
has
been
nothing
from
this
council
that
has
said
there
may
be
a
problem
in
the
acquiring
of
this
of
this
virus.
The
biosafety
lab
in
in
in
Oakland
does
not
guarantee
more
than
99%
escape
prevention.
So
once
again,
Oakland
is
at
the
epicenter
of
danger
not
only
to
our
city
but
to
our
children.
I
view
this
as
completely
unacceptable
and
will
be
pursued.
B
D
F
Name
is
David
Fisher
q2
once
it
could.
This
is
about
child
trafficking
and
what
what's
caused?
What
are
the
causes
of
it?
A
big
part
of
it
in
the
not-too-distant
past
and
current
and
future
is
the
opioid
problem
and
addiction.
There
now
there's
a
problem
with
even
Harvard,
Medical
School
doesn't
know
what
to
do
about.
F
F
It
ties
into
like
joel
is
openly
advertised
by
neon
signs
that
cigarette
and
those
type
of
stores,
those
head
shops
and
shops
and
stuff
like
that
and
joel.
I
go
into
some
places
and
there's
sign
on
the
on
the
on
the
counter
that
you
have
to
be
21
and
sterile
ID
and
everything
else
to
get
the
product
jolt
a
EUL
child
trafficking.
You
know
that's
another
sin:
child
trafficking
was
recognized
by
the
first
comprehensive
human
trafficking
law,
Act
105,
12
trafficking
anyway,.
G
F
Of
this
year
last
month
was
supposed
to
be
national.
Human
trafficking,
Awareness
Month
I,
didn't
see
anything
about
that
mess
anywhere
and
I'd.
Never
that
I
came
across
this
this
morning
this
morning
at
about
4
o'clock
in
the
morning,
child
trafficking
as
national
human
trafficking,
Awareness
Month,
was
January
of
2020
this,
the
first
one
know
these
different
cut
months
for
this
that
that
that
this
is
this
is
something
kind
of
important
you
know
and
if
you're
gonna
cover
it
up,
there's
other
raw
there's
other
options.
F
Okay,
let's
just
go
with
this
is
different.
This
isn't
an
option
or
anything
victims
of
you
mean
a
human
trafficking
may
not
have
access
to
their
ID
or
travel
documents
to
not
being
controlled
their
own
finances.
Three
have
very
few
possessions
for
work.
Excessively
long
unusual
hours
on
floor,
don't
pay
I've
seen
that
happen
not
to
be
able
to
clarify
their
address.
Looking
situation.
There
is
a
toll-free.
F
B
A
B
H
J
I
G
So
today
we
are
here
to
talk
about
the
2020
hof
allocation
plan.
We
are
now
entering
into
the
funding
round
for
the
third
year
of
the
Housing
Opportunity
Fund,
which
you
all
so
thankfully
voted
in
a
few
years
ago,
and
we've
been
operating
programs
for
about
18
months,
and
those
programs
include
the
rental
gap
program
where
we
fill
the
gaps
on
rental
developments
throughout
the
city.
G
It
also
includes
four
cell
development
program,
where
we
fill
the
gaps
for
Community
Development
Corporation's
to
do
four
so
housing,
and
then
our
consumer
programs
that
are
being
utilized
very
heavily
throughout
the
entire
city
are
our
home
repair
program.
Our
homeowner
assistance
program,
which
helps
lower
income.
Homeowners,
get
up
to
thirty
thousand
dollars
worth
of
repairs
done
to
their
house.
G
We
have
a
down
payment
program
which
helps
households
as
high
as
a
hundred
and
fifteen
percent,
so
really
households
as
high
as
almost
90
thousand
dollars
and
you'll
income
to
purchase
a
house
and
get
up
to
seven
thousand
five
hundred
to
do
so,
and
then
we
also
have
a
brand
new
program
as
of
about
a
year
ago,
the
housing
stabilization
program,
which
provides
rental
assistance
for
households
prior
to
them,
getting
evicted
and
prior
to
them
being
eligible
for
other
federally
funded
programs.
Now.
I
I'm
gonna
ask
for
a
summary,
because
I
don't
didn't
bring
my
notes
with
me
from
the
briefing
that
we
have
kind
of
two
categories
of
rental
housing
and
then
homeownership,
and
we
have
units
that
are
stabilized
so
prevented
these
funds,
prevented
them
from
being
lost
to
market
increases,
and
then
we
have
units
in
both
categories
that
are
new.
So
if
you
want
to
just
give
us
a
general
breakdown
of
kind
of
like
how
much
money
has
been
allocated
and
actually
has
already
gone
out,
the
door
great
and
then
the
outcomes,
okay,.
G
So
yeah
you
can
see
on
the
slides
we
passed
out
at
the
briefing
and
I
think
David
emailed
them
out.
We
are
well
through
the
2018
funding,
where
almost
70%
75%,
through
the
expenditures
of
that
that
we
are
well
committed
into
2019
and
for
the
housing
stabilization
program
and
the
rental
gap
program
have
started
expending
2019
funding
as
well,
but
we
do
have
the
majority
of
the
2019
funding
says
physically
at
the
trustee
right
now.
Right.
G
G
I
Think
that's
really
fantastic
outcome
and
it's
one
of
the
things
I
just
want
to
briefly
touch
on
and
then
I'll
stop
that
they
one
of
the
really
important
conversations
that
we
had
in
the
creation
of
the
fund
was
that
I
think
council
value
said
we're
not
gonna
build
our
way.
Out
of
this.
That's
it's
very
expensive
to
build
the
new
units.
Yes,
we
do
need
some
new
units,
especially
in
redistributing
where
we
have
low
income
rental
around
the
city
and.
A
G
I
B
L
G
K
L
B
J
G
It
really
depends
which
program,
but
if
it's
a
consumer
based
program
for
a
homeowner
repair
or
for
our
down
payment
date
well
for
homeowner
repaired,
they
would
contact
us
to
contact
the
URA.
We
have
all
kinds
of
brochures
circulating
around
there
and
we've
gotten
so
many
inquiries.
If
they
get
any
of
the
100
people
at
the
URA,
they
will
get
to.
G
To
apply
for
the
homeowner
repair,
the
down
payment,
we
have
done
a
lot
of
outreach
with
lenders
and
and
Realtors,
but
but
primarily
lenders
in
the
city
to
advertise
that
so
they
get
it
to
their
clients
and
then
our
housing
stabilization
program,
which
is
our
rental
assistance
program.
We
have
four
providers
where
they
go
directly
to
providers,
but
as
of
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
if
anyone
in
your
district
needs
the
rental
assistance
funding,
they
would
contact
two
one
one
which
is
United
Way's
helpline.
J
G
J
G
On
the
rental
assistance
we've
really,
this
is
brand-new,
so
we've
really
been
trying
to
figure
out
the
best
process
and
that's
why
we're
bringing
United
Way
on,
because
our
four
providers
are
four
providers,
our
YWCA
Macedonia
faced
the
Urban,
League
and
Pittsburgh
mercy.
They
got
swamped
real
quickly
when
we
opened
up
our
gates.
So
that's
why
we're
bringing
them
on.
G
Yeah,
so
the
administration
for
the
program,
the
ura,
can
take
up
to
10%
an
admin
for
the
program
and
the
first
year
of
operations.
You
know
we
were
figuring
out.
What
programs
are
we
gonna
run
and
looking
at
the
policy
behind
it,
so
we
had
a
much
smaller
staff
of
about
four
of
us,
but
now
that
we
have
the
programs
up
and
running
and
the
homeowner
repair
program,
especially
it's
very
staff
intensive
for
us.
G
J
I
am
interested
in
the
for
sale
properties,
just
like
councilman
Coghill
was
was
asking
and
I
had
some
previous
conversations,
and
thank
you,
mr.
Geiger,
for
that
just
to
have
a
understanding
of
the
foresail
development
in
my
area,
in
particular,
because
I
think
that
my
area
is
also
one
in
in
district,
one
that
is
in
need
of
affordable
housing,
but
also
long-term
affordability.
Where
we
can,
you
know,
really
make
a
difference.
Long
term,
there's
a
lot
of
vacant
property,
lyta
property.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
different
neighborhoods
like
14,
neighborhoods
and.
K
J
Lot
of
different
ideas
out
there
in
those
neighborhoods
on
how
they
would
like
to
see
this,
these
funds
spent,
but
also
just
affordable,
housing
in
general
and
I,
was
wondering.
I
know
that
the
number
is
zero
in
my
district
for
for
sale
development
is
there
an
opportunity
for
I
would
really
like
that
opportunity
to
understand
you.
G
J
G
The
four
cell
development
and
some
of
you
may
have
seen
an
article
ran
about
it
recently.
The
four
cell
development
has
been
slightly
underutilized
just
due
to
the
timing
of
where
the
Community
Development
Corporation's
were
on
their
projects.
At
the
time,
we've
only
committed
funding
to
I
think
about
four
or
five
different
projects.
There
was
the
Lawrenceville
Community
Land
Trust,
a
couple
houses
in
Oakland
and
a
couple
houses
in
the
Hill
District
and
then
the
modular
development
being
built
in
Garfield.
Those
were
our
recent
awards.
G
I
we
are
aware
of
other
projects
coming
in
through
the
pike
I
know,
Manchester
citizens
corporation
is
applying
this
month
and
the
Northside
Leadership
Conference
has
a
couple
other
projects
as
well
and
we're
keeping
sort
of
our
our
eyes
on
that.
To
make
sure
that
this,
you
know
as
diverse
as
possible
through
the
city
is
applying
for
the
program
and.
G
J
K
J
You
know
they
are
looking
into
laying
trust
and,
and
how
that
really
is
gonna
work
out
for
them
and
whether
or
not
they
join
city
of
bridges
and
and
move
forward
with
that,
you
know,
a
lot
of
this
is
is
something
that
I've
been
asking
these
groups,
but
also
professionals
as
well,
how
how
we
can
really
use
a
model.
That's
gonna
work
for
others
as
this
is
this.
K
B
J
J
G
So
I
think
what
you're
referring
to
is
the
legislation
itself
has
a
clause
in
it.
That
says,
when
the
funding
is
used
for
for
cell
development,
that
it
needs
to
be
affordable
at
80
percent
area,
median
income
in
perpetuity
in
perpetuity
like
for
99
years,
basically
so
for
this
particular
four
cell
development
program.
G
But
the
flip
side
of
it,
of
course,
is
that
it
preserves
the
affordability
in
the
neighborhood
moving
forward
through
the
future,
which
is
what
I
think
when
the
legislation
was
written.
What
people
you
know
had
in
their
mind
now
we
do
have
some
other
programs
at
the
URA
that,
where
we
record
second
mortgages
on
a
recapture
basis,
not
on
a
resale
basis
which
does
allow
for
some
of
that.
G
J
G
So
the
Land
Trust
concept
that,
like
the
city
of
bridges,
the
Lawrenceville
Community
Land
Trust,
does
that
puts
that
responsibility
in
the
hand
of
the
nonprofit,
because
the
Land
Trust
owns
that
land
in
the
future.
Right
now,
not
all
the
community
Obama
corporations
in
the
city.
You
know
want
to
go
that
route.
They
they
want
to.
You
know,
go
to
route
of
selling
the
DeLand
in
the
house
outright,
which
is
ride
to
ura,
then
recourse
the
deed
restriction,
so
we've
seen
both,
but
we
can't
require
like
one
over
together.
M
First
of
all,
Jessica
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work.
I
think
you
know,
I
have
said
both
privately
and
publicly.
How
much
we
value
your
expertise
and
your
knowledge
and
your
work
prior
talk.
You
are
certainly
one
of
the
your
ace
treasures
and
I've
learned
a
lot
from
you.
Over
the
years.
I've
been
a
member
of
Council
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
fun
and
then.
M
G
M
I'm
going
to
suggest
that,
even
though
we're
helping
the
problem
is
not
diminishing,
it's
actually
getting
worse
year
by
year.
That
is,
if
we
continue
to
do
this
great
thing
that
we're
doing
no
doubt
about
it
great
thing:
you're,
the
right
administrator,
we're
doing
all
sorts
of
program,
we're
stabilising
we're,
building
new
housing
we're
doing
homeownership.
But
if
we
continue
to
do
exactly
what
we're
doing,
the
problem
will
get
worse,
probably
possible.
K
M
So
I
want
to
D
be
a
little
bit
since
here.
I
want
to
talk
about
the
Pittsburgh
Development
fun
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
members
of
council
are
really
familiar
with
it.
So,
let's,
let's
talk
about
it.
A
little
bit
explain
because
you've
been
here
a
long
time
and
again
you're
my
resident
expert.
Would
you
explain
the
council
with
the
Pittsburgh
Development
Fund?
Is
that
the
you
are
a.
K
G
A
B
M
Of
it
was
used
for
soft
side
work
so
20
years
ago
the
city
decided
that
investing
in
very
wealthy
communities
putting
high-end
businesses
like
Lazarus,
was
a
priority
for
this
city,
and
so
it
took
out
it
took
money
that
was
supposed
to
go
to
taxpayer
relief
right.
That
was
there,
the
funding,
that's
how
we
we
got
the
fun.
We
did
verted
taxpayer
relief
funding
from
the
state
that's
supposed
to
go
to
homeowners.
M
Instead
of
going
to
homeowners,
which
was
the
intent
of
the
state
given
money,
we
diverted
it
and
took
it
to
the
URA,
the
city
guaranteed
a
bond.
We
did
sixty
million
dollars
of
a
bond
issue
for
making
sure
that
the
wealthiest
people
in
Pittsburgh
gat
amenities
right.
We
built
soft
siteworx.
Some
of
the
great
expansion
you
see
in
South
Side
did
not
happen
accidentally.
It
happened
because
the
city
took
city
dollars
and
invested
in
it
right.
I
actually
think
it
was
genius.
So
let
me
I
mean.
M
Let
me
let
me
know:
I
want
to
make
sure
you
know
the
road
I'm
going
on
I
think
it
was
absolutely
genius,
I,
think,
Peru
and
Murphy.
They
were
right.
They
did
that
they
did
some
of
the
things
didn't
work
like
Lazarus
didn't
work,
but
mostly
what
they
did
work
Southside
works
works.
Southside
works
is
a
great
development.
It's
not
diverse
at
all.
It
is
actually
one
of
the
least
diverse
developments
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
It's
very,
not
diverse.
At
all.
It's
not
diverse
by
race
is
not
diverse
by
outcome.
M
By
income
it's
extraordinarily
homogeneous,
it
was
it
is.
It
is
mostly
for
the
benefit
of
a
very
select
group
of
people.
Great
development,
not
diverse
I,
don't
know
any
african-american
vendors
in
self.
That
works.
There
may
be
one
I,
don't
know.
One
I
know
there's
very
few
african-american
people
to
live
there
and
know
that
for
a
fact,
try.
M
Ninety
seven
percent-
and
so
it
was
a
great
thing
we
did
and
it
made
South
Side
better
and
all
the
people
who
lived
there
again,
not
a
very
diverse
community,
but
they
all
benefited
tremendously
from
public
investment
and
the
city
as
a
whole
get
more
tax
dollars.
It
created
a
bit
of
an
entertainment
district
in
part.
You
know,
I
go
there
to
the
Cheesecake
Factory
I
go
there.
Montgomery
can
Smits
love,
it
wonderful,
go
there
yeah.
M
So
when
the
city
thinks
something
is
important
in
this
case
non-diverse
wealthy
Pittsburghers,
we
know
exactly
how
to
invest
in
them.
We
know
exactly
how
to
do
it
and
we
do
it
at
scale
to
make
sure
that
it
has
an
impact
I'm
going
to
suggest
then
and
and-
and
so
so
the
Pittsburgh
Development
Fund
is,
is
actually
petering
out.
It
was
mostly
a
revolving
loan
fund,
mostly
right.
It
was
mostly
a
revolving
loan
fund
right,
so
it
wasn't,
it
wasn't
a
grant.
M
M
Well,
if
we
agree
that
redlining
happened
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
in
the
30s
and
has
happened
until
today,
there's
a
map
that
I
will
be
at
some
point
showing
the
council
that
shows
mortgages
and
the
percentage
of
mortgages,
and
it's
almost
sickening
that
privately
african-americans
are
rejected
at
abysmal
rate
for
mortgages,
they're
even
rejected
for
mortgages
in
the
communities
they
live
in.
They
can't
even
get
mortgages
in
Homewood
in
long
right.
M
M
M
Now,
I'm
going
to
argue
and
you're
gonna
hear
this
over
and
over
for
me
what
we
did
for
wealthy
people,
because
it
was
important
to
us.
You
know
it
was
really
important
for
us
to
create
this
wealthy
exclusive
and,
in
fact,
that's
part
of
the
reasons
I'm.
We
don't
talk
about
this
publicly.
That's
why
st.
Claire
Village
was
never
rebuilt,
the
truth
of
why
it
wasn't
rebuilt.
We
have
other
words,
but
if
we're
gonna
be
honest
and
that
told
as
I
promised
council
I
will
start
extremely
honest.
The
reason
that
st.
M
Claire
village
was
not
rebuilt
is
because
it
would
they
didn't
really
want
people
work,
walking
down
from
South
Carroll,
it's
st.
Claire
village,
the
common
shop
in
Southside
works.
It
kind
of
would
break
the
the
ambience
of
it.
Really,
that's
actually
why
it
wasn't
rebuilt
and
we
can
say
other
things,
but
that's
why
it
wasn't
rebuilt.
That's
the
truth
of
it.
Not
I
wasn't
dosed
before
my
time
know
that
to
be
true,
though,
so
we
we
we
we
now
face
this
crisis.
M
That
is
disproportionately
affects
black
and
brown
people
I'm
going
to
argue
it
is
time
to
do
the
same
thing
we
did
for
the
wealthiest
people
in
Pittsburgh.
We
ought
to
do
it
for
those
people
too.
We
need
to
take
out
a
bond
of
about
sixty
million
dollars
in
a
revolving
loan
fund
and
incentivize,
low-income
spending
and
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Now
that
bond
would
be
able
to
do
the
things
that
mr.
Wilson
mr.
Coghill
wants
to.
M
Do
you
get
a
big
chunk
of
money
you
can
you
can
pour
into
for
how
it
for
for
sale
housing?
Because
you
can
you
can
it's
a
it's
a
revolving
loan
fund
and
it
will
be
around
for
20-30
years
and
people
can
pay
it
back,
and
so
it
doesn't
just
deplete
itself
it
it
feeds
on
itself.
You
would
see
absolute
I'm,
just
keys,
always
better
than
me
right
you,
you
would
see,
you
know
more
four
percent.
You
would
see
even
the
money
we
set
aside
for
choice
instead
of
picking
it
from
from
the
capital
budget.
M
We
could
take
it
from
this
fund
right.
We
could.
We
could
do
a
variety
of
things
to
guarantee
a
steady
pipeline
of
affordable
housing
over
the
next
15
years.
So
that's
sort
of
the
that's
my
thinking,
you're
gonna
hear
me
talk
about
this
now
publicly,
privately,
assuring
it
over
and
over
and
over
and
over
again.
This
was
great.
M
So
we
did
take
part
of
this
money
and,
if
you
right
not
all
of
it
but
a
portion
of
it
and
maybe
a
portion
of
someplace
else
right
guarantee
a
bond
get
that
money
on
the
front
end,
put
it
into
a
redeveloping
loan
fund
and
do
what
we
stay
at
for
wealthy
people
in
Pittsburgh,
wealthy,
mostly
white
people
in
Pittsburgh.
We
did
this
for
them
because
they
were
important
to
us,
I'm
going
to
say
well.
If
african-americans
and
poor
people
have
the
same
works,
let's
do
exactly
the
same
thing:
let's
create
the
same
process.
M
Let's
do
the
same
thing
that
we
know
works.
It
absolutely
works.
Let's
do
it
and
in
fact,
because
you
know
we
know
our
history
has
been
inequitable.
Our
history
has
been
one
of
systemic
institutional,
racism
right
and
I'm,
going
to
no
I'm,
not
saying
the
fun
itself
did
a
bad
thing,
but
it
invested
in
wealthy
communities
right
and
I'm
gonna
sergej
say
that
we
should
do
the
same
thing
for
the
entire
city.
M
M
M
K
I
wouldn't
say
it's
mostly
depleted,
but
it's
whining
now
it's
a
revolving
loan
fund,
I
think
the
the
URA
in
the
aura
is
board
has
made
smart
investment
decisions
over
the
years.
So
as
we
continue
to
get
the
repayments
of
those
good
loans
back
I
mean
there's
a
there's,
a
healthy
balance
in
the
PDF
okay
good.
So.
M
Then
it's
even
better
and
it's
been
since
the
90s,
so
it's
been
over
20
years
right
at
least
20
years
20-some
years,
so
that
for
the
next
20
30
years
we
can
do
the
same
thing
for
affordable
housing
right.
We
can
do
exactly
the
same
thing
and
invest
and
make
this
a
priority.
It's
something
we
absolutely
can
do
now.
Mr.
LaBelle
and
I
had
talked
about
this
probably
two
years
ago,
and
you
know:
we've
looked
at
it
and
it
wasn't
the
right
time
but
I
think
today.
M
This
is
now
there
time
so
I
approve
I
will
vote
for
this
today.
I'm
excited
I
want
to
congratulate
mr.
Laval.
This
was
his
baby.
I
think
this
is
probably
one
of
the
most
significant
things
in
terms
of
the
the
people
we
care
about
that
we've
done
since
a
member
of
council,
so
I
want
to
congratulate
him
and
shepherding
this
through
and
so
I
wanted
to
lease
today
begin
to
lay
down
because
I'm
going
to
start
talking
about
this
over
and
over
and
over
and
over
again.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
B
Chair,
thank
you
any
other
members
for
first
round,
if
not
I'm,
gonna
chime
in
real
quick,
then
I'll
come
to
you
just
councilmen
one.
Just
to
pick
up
on
Reverend
Burgesses
point
about
the
need
for
a
bond.
We
did
start
having
this
conversation
two
years
ago.
We
did
actually
have
at
least
one
meeting
with
PNC
where
we
talked
through
what
it
would
look
like
to
go
to
bond
at
that
time.
To
were
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
there
were
at
least
three
challenges.
One
was
demonstrating
the
ability
to
spend
right.
B
G
B
You
so
we're
now
at
a
point
where,
with
the
approximately
1,100
or
so
individuals
that
we've
served,
we
now
have
more
projects
up
coming
with
requests
to
the
URA.
Do
we
actually
have
dollars
for
in
order
for
us
to
actually
have
enough
dollars?
We
would
need
to
increase
our
budget
increase
the
amount
of
City
dollars
that
we're
sending
over
to
the
RA
by
probably
about
six
seven
eight
million
dollars
in
order
to
meet
that
demand.
B
When
you
go
to
bond
and
someone
smarter,
not
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
you're
going
to
usually
do
a
minimum
of
fifteen
years,
probably
more
like
twenty
okay,
we
as
the
body
did
the
Housing
Opportunity
Fund
dedicated
ten
million
dollars
for
12
years.
The
idea
of
going
to
bond
was
we
could
go
to
bond
60,
70
80
million.
Whatever
that
number
is,
we
could
pledge
those
dollars
as
the
repayment
source.
B
However,
those
dollars
run
out
after
12
years,
so
we
and
I
think
we
need
to
do
some
consideration
there,
because
I
think
this
program
crosses
all
districts.
This
has
been
very
successful
for
everyone
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
I.
Think
we
need
to
begin
to
think
honestly
having
a
conversation
about
extending
the
Housing
Opportunity
Fund
in
to
the
future.
In
order
to
be
able
to
do
that
bond,
but
I
do
believe
the
time
is
now
and
I
do
believe
we
should
actually
absolutely
be
considering
and
thinking
through
how
to
do
it.
Councilman
Coghill
second
round.
L
G
So
so
the
answer
to
that
is
complicated
because,
yes,
and
no
because
most
banks
and
mortgage
companies
don't
do
the
grants
and
no
so
the
soft
financing
that
would
that
we
do
so.
So
that
is,
you
know
one
concern
when
looking
at
bond
financing
is
you
have
to
be
able
to
pay
it
back
and
some
of
what
we
do
is
not.
You
know
something
that
can
that
people
are
paying
back
and.
L
I,
don't
totally
disagree
with
Reverend,
Burgess
and
Councilman
Lavelle's
opinion
on
that.
However,
if
we
were,
if
I'm
not
going
to
say,
was
failed,
but
for
people
here
at
this
table
to
say
that
the
PDF
from
the
90s
is
teetering
out,
you
know
do
we.
Why
is
that
I'm
just
wondering,
and
if
it
is,
it
really
scares
me
to
issue
another
bond.
I
will
tell
you
I.
K
L
L
If
you
wouldn't
include
that
in
the
figures
that
I
asked
you
before,
as
far
as
what
that
fund
started
out
as
and
what's
in
it
now,
that's
all
I
need
those
two
hard
numbers.
The
other
thing
that
just
jumped
out
the
page
at
me
when,
when
you
were
talking
earlier
Jessica,
you
said
the
URA
can
take
up
to
ten
percent
of
the
affordable
housing
care
act
ever
annually,
which
would
be
a
million
dollars
is
used
for.
G
K
L
B
I
Do
you
have
any
curtain
number,
so
the
question
I
think
that
we
can
come
back
to
another
time
is
how
much
money
is
revolved
and
I.
Think
this.
The
ancillary
point
here
is
that
it's
now
free
and
clear
of
its
bond
obligations
right.
So
if
it,
the
point
of
our
revolving
loan
fund
is
that
you
get
the
money
back,
and
so
the
money
that
has
been
paid
back
is
basically
unrestricted
funds
and
then,
secondly,
we
didn't
really
hear
who
the
people
on
the
coop
and
decision-making
board
are.
Is
it
entirely
up
to
the
you?
I
I
B
A

Will
take
us
to
the
beginning
of

is

any
kind
whatsoever
in
labor
law.
We
are
required
to
reprint
those
posters.
This
is
a
one-time
expenditure
to
reprint
them,
regardless
of
the
number
of
changes
that
could
possibly
take
place
over
a
three-year
period.
If
I
remember
correctly,
and
so
it's
a
one-time,
we
buy
it
in
bulk.
We
pay
one-time
and
no
matter
how
many
times
we
are
required
by
federal
law
to
reprint
those
posters
they're
covered.
E
K
E
N
N
N
So
this
amount
of
monies
16,500
will
cover
the
city
of
pittsburgh
for
over
a
three
year
time
frame
that
if
any
legislation
is
updated
or
approved,
all
of
our
150
plus
posters
will
be
updated
and
sent
for
us
to
post
so
we're
in
compliance.
What
is
on
legislation
in
Harrisburg
is,
regarding
hourly
rate
hourly
wage.
It
is
subject
to
increase
in
July
of
this
year,
then
January
of
2021,
then
July
of
2021,
so
that
is
at
least
three
times
that
we
would
need
to
have
the
most
current
and
accurate
employment
law
poster
in
our
areas.
N
That
means
we
would
have
to
pay
almost
$40
per
poster
so
40
times
150
for
the
July
update
40
times.
You
know
150
in
January
40
times
150
for
next
July.
So
this
three-year
contract
is
actually
saving
us
over
$15,000.
So
that
way,
we're
covered
for
all
of
the
federal
and
state
updates.
So
whenever
they
they
change,
the
hourly
rate
for
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania
will
be
covered
and
they'll
be
disseminated
to
us.
Okay,.
N
D
D
N
G
N
B
H
E
B
D
M
M
The
actual
tax
itself
right
that
we
are
going
to
have
homeowners,
pay
a
portion
of
attacks
that
will
be
collected
by
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
That's
number
one
number
two.
The
second
thing
that
council
has
to
do
and
is
doing
is
establishing
the
trust
fund.
It
is
the
trust
fund
that
Councilwoman
Smith
asked
me
to
work
with
councilman
Coghill
and
whoever
else
wants
to
work
about
on
February
4th
I
sent
out
this
copy
of
the
trust
fund
and
sent
it
to
all
members
of
council
and
said
that
I
await
any
conversation
in
terms
of
it's.
M
It's
it's
changes,
and
so
I
still
that's
where
I'm
at
now,
I
have
on
February
4th
I
sent
an
email
to
all
members
of
council
saying
this
is
what
having
taken
with
the
mayor
wanted.
What
members
of
council
on
it
I
create
this
sort
of
document,
and
so
I
am
willing
and
certainly
able
and
will
talk
to
any
member
of
Council
concerning
the
trust
fund
legislation
in
this
legislation
that
I,
which
is
not
this
bill,
but
that
it
has
an
annual
authorization
because
I
believe
that
certain
trust
funds
they
never
come
back
before
council.
M
You
know
we
set
them
up
and
they
just
go,
spend
it
and
I
don't
want
that
to
be
in
this
case,
I
think
it
should
be
an
an
you
full
allocation.
There
is
some
not
that
this
is
the
right
thing,
but
it's
some
of
the
ideas
that
council
has
had,
and
some
of
it
is
limiting
how
much
of
it
can
be
used
for
a
hutch
this,
how
it's
used
now.
M
Finally,
the
final
thing
is
what
I
introduced
last
week,
which
is
different
than
those
two.
It
is
a
third
standalone
piece
even
up
to
do
the
tags
and
they
even
have
to
use
trust
funding.
You
have
to
talk
about
how
to
spend
the
money
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
we
need
to
have
a
vehicle
to
talk
about
the
annual
distribution
and
when
my
argument
has
been
has,
since
the
parks.
M
We
then
reconcile
how
how
we
expend
the
funds
and
the
trust
fund
and
how
it
relates
to
the
plan
to
make
sure,
because
the
plan
talks
about
equitable
distribution
of
funding,
that
we
would
fund
things
based
on
those
and
most
need,
and
so
we
adopt
this
and
then
annually
we
check
now
it
doesn't
mean
there
won't
be
changes,
because
council
has
the
authority,
certainly
on
the
autumn
authority.
If
we,
if
we
write
it
right
to
distribute
these
funds,
but
we'll
have
a
guide,
doesn't
mean
it
can't
be
changed.
M
Five
members
of
council
will
be
able
to
change
it,
but
you
don't
have
a
guide
and
will
be
able
to
fulfill
the
interest
of
the
city,
so
I'm
on
Tuesday
I
believe
it's
Tuesday,
the
25th,
the
people
who
helped
design
this
plan
will
be
here.
I'm
also
gonna.
Ask
members
of
the
city
who
participated
in
developing
the
plan.
It
was
not
done
in
isolation
and
so
as
Public
Works
public
parks
director.
Other
people
who
participated
in
the
plan
come
the
people
who
did
the
the
gap.
M
The
data
collection
will
be
here
out
of
Philadelphia
and
they'll
be
here.
So
all
the
people
who
had
something
to
do
with
the
creation
of
the
plan
will
be
here
for
the
post
agenda,
where
we'll
lay
out
how
the
plan
was
developed
and
we
can
decide
whether
or
not
it
meets
you
know
I
mustard
and
then,
as
we
move
forward,
though
I
will
at
least
be
saying,
at
least
in
our
conversations.
I'll
say
that
we
should
do
the
same
level
of
diligence.
M
If
this
plan
is
not
acceptable
that
it's
fine,
then
we
will
do
the
same
level
of
diligence
to
create
a
plan
that
has
the
same
kind
of
intention
with
the
same
kind
of,
and
we
actually
use
their
research
so
use
it.
You
know
using
their
research
at
the
same
kind
of
conversation,
so
that's
the
three
differing
things
and
the
pace
that
we're
on
I
just
want
to
sort
of
explain.
My
thinking
and
and
how
I'm
moving
forward
so
I
think
the
trust
fund.
M
I
You
so
we're
talking
the
bill
on
the
agenda
today
is
zero,
one
one
one
that
we're
about
to
hold
just
again
for
the
listener
to
keep
straight.
It
has
hopefully
in
legends
that
are
substantial
and
paper
here,
which
is
the
force
documents
I
think
are
easier
to
look
at
off
of
ledges
are
than
they
even
are
off
the
perks
and
servants
ease
website
that
have
all
of
the
plan
that
the
councilman
is
referring
to.
I
Last
week,
I
asked
for
raw
data
because
the
tables
in
the
document
that
are
attached
to
the
councilmember
justice
legislation
are
summer
from
about
ten
different
data
sources,
and
so,
as
the
councilman
was
just
mentioning,
I
guess
it
was
affirmative.
Philadelphia
that
I
have
not
directly
correspond,
did
with
I
am
kind
of
trying
to
hunt
down
that
raw
data
that
they
combined
and
added
up
and
created
indices,
for
that
are
the
summarized
metrics
that
are
attached
to
the
legislation.
So
I
would
like
to
see
the
source
data
and
I've
sent
emails.
I
I
If
we
are
digging
into
this
that
we
want
to
see,
for
example,
what
geographic
units
were
used
right
and
so
source
data
is
usually
from
something
like
census
tract
data,
if
it's
from
the
American
Community
Survey,
which
is
the
survey
that
the
census
does
in
between
the
decennial
censuses
that
tells
us
about
the
communities
in
the
city.
It's
based
on
sampling,
it's
not
a
total
census.
I
The
way
the
decennial
census
is,
but
those
were
aggregated
into
bundles,
so
to
speak
in
in
the
document
that
is
attached
here,
and
so
we
want
to
disaggregate
them
so
that
we
can
see
how
they
chose
to
put
various
numbers
together
under
the
labels
that
are
here
and
so
I'll
still
be.
Looking
for
that
data
and
I
will
keep
council
informed,
didn't
show
the
data
as
I
get
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
I
wanted
to
go
on
record
and
saying
I'm
not
for
collecting
any
this
tax
money
until
we
actually
have
something
that
we
can
all
agree
on
and
implement.
Okay.
Secondly,
I
have
been
working.
Another
plan,
I
thought
with
other
council
members
and
I
want
to
thank
those
who
stopped
in
my
office
and
put
their
two
cents
in
you
know.
I
hope
to
have
something
by
next
week
with
everybody's
input
and
something
I
hope
that
we
can
all
live
with
I'm.
L
L
M
We
have
interrogative
sure
yeah,
okay,
so
a
couple
things
I've
just
been
keeping
track
of
this.
So
first
of
all
it's
councilman
Gross
Jane,
you
saw
yeah,
you
saw
yeah.
I
M
Can
only
tell
you
what
my
intentions
are.
There
are
two
differing
things
that
are
interrelated
but
separate
by
both
funding
and
separate
by
messaging
right.
There
is
the
Pittsburgh
is
the
Pittsburgh
parks
plan.
That
is
what
you
have
right
that
was
funded
researched
and
designed
by
a
group
of
people
right.
M
Then
there
is
the
campaign
that
used
the
plan
to
convince
voters.
That
campaign
was
funded
separately
staff
separately
and
although
there
was
some
interaction
but
two
really
very
separate
things,
so
what
I
like
to
do
and
I
have
no
problem
with
members
having
this
conversation,
but
I
think
there
are
two
different
conversations
that
have
both
important
right,
but
I
think
it
becomes
confusing
if
you
do
them
both
at
the
same
time.
So
my
interest
is
in
because
my
interest
is
not
conservatory.
M
My
interest
is
the
plan
itself,
so
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
focus
Tuesday
on
just
the
plan.
If
counsel
wants
to
go
into
the
campaign,
my
suggestion
is
to
either
do
it
separately.
You
could
do
it
at
the
end.
You
do
ever
I
mean,
however,
counsel
wants
to
do
it,
but
in
the
post
agenda
and
this,
the
first
part
that
you
know
just
doing
the
plan
itself
is
going
to
take
an
hour,
probably
of
us
a
couple
of
hour
and
a
half
two
hours.
M
I
think
we
should
focus
just
on
the
plan
and
if
you
want
to
go
out
the
campaign
which
is
again
separate
money,
separate
staff,
important
I,
think
we
should
figure
out
a
different
another
time
or
time.
If
you
want
to
do
it
at
the
end
of
this.
But
you
want
to
I
think
it's
important
to
keep
the
two
separately,
because
it
was
funded
separately,
designed
separately
with
separate
staff
and
very
different
funding
streams
that
make
some
sense.
So.
M
I
mean
it's
up
to
you:
I
think
it's
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
I
don't
know
councils
appetite
so
I
will
follow
your
lead,
okay
or
comes
up
late,
but
I
think
we
I
think
they
did.
You
have
a
whole
different
conversation
right
above
about
the
hangs,
so
I
think
you
could
have
them
back-to-back
or
if
you
want
to
have
them
on
different
days,
I
think
it's!
You
know
you
could
talk.
We
have
time
so
think
about
which
how
you
want
to
do
it
and
I'll
I'll
be
supportive
of.
L
M
They're,
really
it's
really
your
appetite.
So
it's
your
time.
We
could
do
it
one
or
two
ways:
I
just
for
clarity,
I,
think
if
you
can
keep
the
two
things
separate,
I
think
it
makes
more
sense
because
it
actually
they're
they're
fun.
There's
they
are
funded
separately.
They
are,
they
are
two
different.
They
are
connected,
certainly
the
connective.
M
M
M
We're
tired,
but
we
don't
know
we
actually
don't
have
time.
Well,
we
kind
of
have
time
we
kind
of
done
so
we,
yes
yeah.
We
have
time.
Let
me
know
right
right
now.
The
way
I've
been
the
way
I've
been
pursuing
this
is
did
not
do
them
together.
That's
the
only
thing
I
the
way
I've
designed
the
post
agenda
for
Tuesday
is
simply
the
parks
and
with
no
conversation
about.
I
E
Just
briefly,
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
preserving
councils
power
within
this
conversation.
I
think
verbage
is
important.
I
would
take
umbrage
with
the
word
the
parks
plan.
It
was
the
parks
recommendation
that
was
developed
through
a
listening
tour
and
they
are
recommendations
to
Council,
which
I
think
we
are
obligated
to
take
under
consideration,
but
they
are
not
definitive
in
nature.
E
M
E
E
B
E
B
Bill
is
hell
for
cable
cast
post
agenda
that
has
exhausted
our
agenda
do
have
meeting
announcements.
A
cable
cast
public
hearing
is
scheduled
this
afternoon
at
1:00
p.m.
on
Bill's
23:07,
29,
30
and
31,
as
they
relate
to
the
historic
designation
of
the
Weiss
federal
courthouse,
the
Bradbury,
the
City
County
Building
and
the
Pennsylvania
National
Bank
Council's.
Second
cablecast
public
hearing
this
afternoon
is
scheduled
at
2:30
p.m.
on
bills.
B
I
You
I'd
like
to
just
point
out
for
the
record
that
councilman
Burgess
motioned
for
his
post
agenda
on
the
bill
that
was
on
today's
standing
agenda
last
week,
which
expedited
the
scheduling
of
it
so
that
it's
falling
on
Tuesday
just
six
days
from
now,
which
is
Tuesday.
The
25th
of
February,
which,
with
the
motion
to
hold
that
we
just
made
penning
the
cablecast
post
agenda,
puts
it
back
on
our
standing
committee
in
just
one
week
from
today,
which
is
before
either
of
the
public
hearings
will
have
happened.
I
M
Normally,
our
tradition
is
once
a
member
moves
for
holding
it
to
for
a
post
agenda.
It
doesn't
go
back
on
the
agenda
until
the
mayor
member
requests
it
to
go
back.
So,
even
though
technically
the
hole
is
for
the
post
agenda
is
our
tradition
that
it
won't
come
back
until
I
asked
for
it
to
come
back
and
I
won't
ask
for
it
to
come
back
until
out
until
we
exhaust
all
these
conversations,
it'll
come
back
when
all
three
are
on
the
table.
At
the
same
time,
thank.
I
B
C
B
You
are,
as
we
all
are,
and
we
all
refer
to
one
another
within
our
districts,
but
also
think
it's
important
for
us
to
keep
the
context
of,
although
we're
elected
by
district,
we're
actually
here
to
represent
the
entire
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
so
I
just
think
it's
important
for
us
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
begin
to
have
these
conversations
about
parks
which
affects
the
entire
city.
As
we
have
these
conversations
about
equity,
which
is
a
citywide
conversation
that
we
can't
simply
always
isolate
things
just
to
our
district.
