B
C
B
You
very
much
for
the
record
we're
joined
today
by
council
members,
Erica
Strassburger
Daniel,
lavell,
Teresa
Kel
Smith
that
gross
Bobby
Wilson.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
participation.
We
have
one
scheduled
speaker.
We
will
now
take
that
testimony
for
our
regular
speaker,
you'll
be
giving
three
minutes
to
address
City
Council.
First
and
only
speaker
is
the
bond
winner.
C
D
D
This
I
would
like
to
advocate
now
that
you
look
for
some
of
the
younger
activists
in
Pittsburgh,
who
I
think
are
doing
a
wonderful
work
right
now
to
shine
light
and
some
of
the
things
that
you've
pointed
out
in
201,
an
organization
that
has
been
a
very
reliable
throughout
this
whole
process
is
black
young
and
educated
and
I
hope
that
some
of
you
reach
out
to
them
about
being
on
this
new
board.
I
think
they
really
do
have
their
hearts.
D
E
B
You
very
much
that
completes
our
register
speakers
and
because
of
the
way
we're
structured
it.
You
cannot
just
call
in
line,
and
so
therefore
we
would
turn
to
members
of
council
I
want
to
give
their
information
or
it
make
comments
and
I'll
make
a
few
comments
at
the
end,
and
we
will
conclude
this
public
hearing
members
of
council
Oh
miss
president
Smith.
E
Thank
You
Reverend
and
Thank
You
Daniel
for
having
this
this
meeting
and
for
the
legislation
I
I
said
from
the
beginning.
I
think
that
some
of
the
things
we
need
to
do
is
make
sure
we
listening
to
the
public
and
hearing
from
the
public
on
on
all
the
things
that
we're
working
on
to
be
quite
honest,
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
changes.
People
are
calling
for
so
I
hope
that
we'll
work
together
on
some
of
these
things,
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
you're
really
good.
E
B
I
would
say
one
thing
and-
and
it
didn't
come
up,
but
I
want
what
the
members
to
be
real
aware
of
this,
as
we
bring
this
back
through
on
Tuesday,
we
soon
changed
when
we
first
started
down
this
road.
The
idea
was,
to
you
know,
pick
a
small
Commission
to
do
the
work
and
when
the
comments
of
the
speaker's
was
right
on,
but
really
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
have
to
be
brought
together.
They
have
this
conversation
and
so,
rather
than
have
a
select
group
of
commissioners,
we've
changed
the
Commission
to
broaden
it.
B
So
the
Commission
itself
is
really
more
administrative,
but
it
has
subcommittees
that
will
multiply
its
membership
around
around
subject
areas.
So
now,
you'll
have
the
subcommittees
doing
the
best
majority
of
the
work
where
the
Commissioner
self
is
more
administrative,
and
so
we
can
bring
in
activists
around
subject
areas
to
bring
their
concerns
and
because
I
think
there
are
in
their
subcommittees.
B
We
have
a
named
Gail
I,
don't
have
a
few,
so
I
think
we
can
get
a
much
broader
cross-section
of
people
in
these
public
subcommittees
to
be
able
to
do
the
work
and
get
a
greater
representation
of
Pittsburgh
of
what
they
want
to
do.
Sorry,
that's
so
I
think
the
prison
is
right
about
that.
That's
why,
as
we
changed
it
because
we
really
want
instead
of
having
six
or
seven
people
we
in
our
minds
now
who
have
40
or
50
people
in
various
subcommittees
working
to
the
bring
recommendations
to
our
city
and
to
our.
B
F
Okay
yeah,
but
you
were
straight
at
news
right
as
you're
about
to
speak.
I
I
think
that
that
is
a
really
smart
way
to
structure
it
in
part,
because,
like
so
many
issues,
this
is
one
I
think
we
really
need
the
partnership
of
multiple
levels
of
government.
We
need
the
county
fully
on
board.
We
need
we
need
allies
at
the
state
level
to
be
able
I
kind
of
need,
I
think
a
multi-tiered
approach
to
be
able
to
really
tackle
this
huge.
This
huge.
F
You
know
this,
this
issue
that
has
someone
gravitas
and
so
much
importance,
so
I
I
think
that
that's
very
smart
I
also
want
to
echo
why
mr.
Ritter
said
in
his
comments
that
you
know
the
youth
of
today
are
well
organized
they're,
savvy
they're,
smart
and
I
personally
wish
that
I
were
a
gens
e'er.
For
that
reason,
because
I
feel
like
I'm
in
the
wrong
generation,
but
I
think
that
it
is,
it
would
behoove
us
to
aim
to
get
a
young
person
define.
F
However,
we
want
to
define
that
you
know
18
to
30
on
every
single
board
authority
and
Commission,
and
this
is
no
different,
so
I
just
wanted
to
echo
what
I
heard
from
the
public
commenter-
and
this
is
this-
is
not
just
no
different.
This
is
I,
think
a
critical
issue
for
for
young
people
to
be
engaged
in
and
at
the
table
for
and
here
at
have
their
voices
heard.
I.
G
You
yeah
I'll
just
also
say
that
it's
exciting
that
there's
so
much
energy
around
this
and
thank
you
again
to
yourself
on
councilman
level
for
leading
these
conversations
for
so
many
years
now.
I'm
sure
you
also
hear
that
there
is
a
kind
of
push
and
pull
of
the
energy
wanting
results
soon,
but
then
the
energy
also
wanting
an
inclusive
conversation
and
sometimes
those
are
in
tension
with
each
other.
And
so
as
we
go
through
this
conversation
and
look
to
get
everybody's
voices,
we
should
also
look
for
the
things
that
are
actionable
sooner.
G
We're
just
not
always
obvious
at
the
beginning
of
the
conversation
right
and
so
to
have
these
committees
not
have
to
wait
to
bring
things
to
Council
if
they
are
things
that
can
be
acted
upon
and
and
then,
where
there's
consensus
and
when
there's
a
clear
path.
Sometimes
the
paths
are
more
clear
and
sometimes
the
paths
are
less
clear
for
elements
of
these
kinds
of
big
changes,
so
I
think
I've
said
before
and
I.
Once
again,
you
know
I'm
here,
for
the
conversation.
G
H
Yes,
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
raise
my
hand,
but
if
I
have
to
say
something
so
Riya.
A
H
H
It
was
very
eye-opening
to
see
in
this
time
that
we're
in
right
now
that
you
know
all
these
issues
cannot
be
solved
just
at
our
level,
but
it
is
so
important
for
us
to
revisit
revisit.
What
is
you
know
our
responsibilities,
so
you
know
to
revisit
what
is
the
state's
responsibility
is:
what
is
the
city
from
cities,
responsibilities
and
our
surrounding
municipalities,
but
you
know
so
that
we
can
work
with.
H
You
know
who
would
be
on
these
on
these
boards,
and
you
know
really
really
help
to
drive
that
conversation
and
to
work
with
our
or
you
know
our
other
elected
officials
on
this,
so
I
mean
I
think
this
is
a
great
opportunity
and
I
thank
thank
the
I
thank
Reverend
Burgess
and
counts
from
Lavelle.
For
for
for
this
leadership
right
now,.
B
Very
much
any
other
conversation
prisons.
E
E
Some
of
us
raised
those
young
people
and
we're
pretty
proud
of
them
ourselves
and,
having
said
that,
I
want
to
wish
the
madam
clerk
a
happy
believe
that
happy
birthday,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
also
don't
start
swinging
the
pendulum
so
far
that
we
allow
ageism
to
be
one
of
the
last
accepted
acceptable
forms
of
discrimination,
so
that
make
sure
that
we're
very
cognizant
that
everybody
of
all
ages
have
something
to
bring
to
the
table.
Thank
you.
