Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
standing
committee
meeting
for
wednesday
october
7
2020
council
will
continue
to
meet
virtually
on
tuesdays
and
wednesdays
at
10
a.m.
Until
further
notice,
all
meetings
will
be
live
streamed
on
the
city's
youtube
channel.
Our
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
maybe
be
before,
city
council
profanity
will
not
be
permitted.
D
Okay,
thank
you
greetings
everyone,
just
what
I
have
to
say
is
in
relationship
to
the
ura
and
the
city
discussing
land
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
who
shall
have
ownership.
The
indian
problem,
europeans,
particularly
those
who
desire
the
western
frontier,
resented
my
people,
the
aborigines,
even
george
washington,
believed
that
the
best
way
to
solve
this
indian
problem
was
to
simply
civilize
our
ancestors,
and
that
suggestion
is
utter
nonsense,
for
it
was
our
ancestors
who
helped
the
pilgrims
and
peasants
of
europe
and
england
survive.
D
Many
of
our
people
were
forced
to
convert
to
christianity,
adopt
european
style
economic
practices
such
as
individual
ownership
of
land
of
which
was
against
our
own
laws,
customs
and
traditions.
One
nation,
many
people,
many
people,
one
nation,
many
of
our
ancestors
disagree.
Thus
the
indian
removal
act
of
1830
was
created
to
remove
us
and
to
set
the
stage
to
steal
our
land.
Andrew
jackson
vigorously
promoted
this
new
policy.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
our
people
lived
in
millions
of
acres
of
land
in
georgia,
tennessee
alabama
north
carolina
and
florida
land.
D
Our
ancestors
have
occupied
and
cultivated
since
time
immemorial
the
colonizers
working
on
behalf
of
european
settlers
who
wanted
to
grow
cotton
on
our
fields
on
our
land,
stealing
our
livestock
burning
and
looting
our
houses
and
towns
committing
mass
murders
and
squatting
on
our
land
state
governments
joined
in
this
effort
to
drive
our
ancestors
out
of
the
south.
The
federal
government
forced
us
to
leave
our
homelands
and
walk
hundreds
of
miles.
This
was
our
trail
of
tears.
D
This
took
place
in
the
northern
states
as
well
illinois
and
wisconsin,
for
example,
the
bloody
blackhawk
war
in
1832,
open
to
european
settlement,
millions
of
acres
of
our
land
belonging
to
our
nation.
Several
states
passed
laws
limiting
our
sovereignty
and
rights
encroaching
on
our
territory
in
worchester,
virginia
versus
virginia
1832.
The
u.s
supreme
court
objected
to
these
practices
and
affirmed
that
our
nations
were
sovereign
nations.
Many
continued
to
disavow
this
and
continue
to
steal
our
land.
D
Southern
states
were
determined
to
take
ownership
of
indian
land
and
would
go
to
great
lengths
to
secure
this
territory
upon
securing
millions
of
acres
of
our
land.
Thus,
land
grant
colleges,
act
of
1862
or
the
moral
act
of
congress,
1862
that
provided
grants
of
land
to
states
to
finance
the
establishment
of
colleges
specializing
in
agriculture
and
the
mechanic
art,
as
these
europeans
knew
nothing
of
growing
food
on
our
land,
while
leaving
our
ancestors
fighting
for
our
land.
D
Thus,
finally,
the
homestead
act
of
1862,
where
president
abraham
lincoln
signed
the
homestead
act
on
may
20th
1862,
giving
citizens
and
future
citizens
up
to
160
acres
of
aboriginal
land,
provided
that
they
live
on
it
and
prove
it
and
pay
a
small
registration
fee.
The
government
granted
more
than
270
millions
of
our
land
while
the
law
was
in
effect
here.
Pennsylvania,
pittsburgh
and
city
council
now
have
a
great
opportunity
to
make
right
of
the
depredation
done
upon
our
ancestors.
D
C
C
E
E
E
E
We
don't
understand
how
you
can
sleep
well
at
night,
not
considering
the
emails
and
the
multiple
pleas
that
we
make
on
this
line,
and
no
one
has
reached
back
or
reached
out
to
us
to
speak
to
us.
You
all
have
emails
every
last
one
of
you
city,
council
members,
you
also
have
voicemails.
You
also
have
phone
calls
deb
gross
ricky,
burgess.
F
F
F
Have
a
conference
have
some
meetings
around
the
rights
of
the
people
around
the
duties
of
city
council
and
what
they
can
and
cannot
do
which
to
include
the
police,
brutality
and
reforms,
and
things
of
that
nature
to
make
sure
we
can
all
work
together
to
provide
a
harmonious,
a
harmonious
place
for
everyone
to
you
know
this
is
our
goal.
This
is
our
duty.
C
Thank
you
very
much
that
exhausts
our
list
of
speakers,
so
we
will
now
move
on
to
our
standing
committee
agenda.
Would
a
clerk
please
take
the
role.
A
C
I
do
believe
corey
is
with
us
as
well.
I
think
he
was
on
you
yeah.
C
Thank
you
we'll
now
move
on
to
our
committees.
Our
first
committee
of
the
day
is
finance
and
law,
which
is
chaired
by
myself.
We
have
one
supplemental
paper
bill,
777.
A
Bill
777
ordinance
amendment
ordinance,
22
of
2020
entitled
directed
the
allegheny
county
board
of
elections
to
place
before
the
qualified
voters
of
the
city
at
the
2020
november
general
election.
A
referendum
question
shall
the
pittsburgh
home
rule
charter
article
2
executive,
be
amended
and
supplemented
by
amending
and
adding
new
language
to
section
229
and
230
and
added
a
new
section.
G
G
Basically,
in
consultation
with
our
clerk
to
do
a
mailing
at
this
time
would
be
upwards
of
thirty
to
forty
thousand
dollars
and
that,
given
the
pandemic
and
our
fragile
financial
state
as
a
city,
we
just
think
it
is
a
unnecessary
expense.
At
this
time
this
was
not
done.
This
was
a
provision
we
put
in
really
not
thinking
that
the
pandemic
would
be
this
exhaustive.
It's
also
not
something
we
normally
do
so
when
we
do
these
we've
done
these
before.
G
When
we've
done
these
changing
of
the
amendment,
it
is
not
essential
or
necessary.
It
was
something
that
we
thought
would
be
beneficial,
but
given
the
pandemic,
and
just
given
the
financial,
the
financial
expense,
I
talked
the
clerk.
The
clerk
has
recommended
that
I
that
we
not
do
this,
and
so
this
sort
of
this
cleans
up
the
legislation,
so
we
are
not
forced
to
spend
the
money.
A
C
Thank
you.
We
have
a
number
of
speakers,
councilwoman
gross.
H
Thank
you.
That
was
my
first
question,
so
thank
you,
madam
clerk.
What
would
the
exact
expense
be?
Which
is
okay?
You
said
66
000.
and
that
was
for.
Like
you
know,
most
of
us
have
experience
with
direct
mail
having
been
elected,
so
those
were,
for
you
know,
postcards
for
the
cheapest
type
of
mail
is
that
bulk
rate
postcards,
etc.
It's
vote
mail.
A
H
So
I
get
that
the
amendment,
the
original
language
of
the
legislation
says
full
draft.
H
I
guess
I'm
just
looking
to
see
if,
like
you
know
how
robust
of
an
outreach
we
could
do-
and
we
don't
need
to
go
into
all
the
detail
today,
but
if
there
was
just
even
does
postcard
cut
it
in
half,
possibly
you're
talking
about
the
grams
of
weight
and
like
having
you
know
envelope
and
insert
maybe
even
cut
it
down
by
a
quarter
down
to
let's
say
45
000
or
something
like
that,
would
it
you
know
at
least
be
able
to
direct
alert
people
that
there
is
a
ballot
question
and
the
full
text
is
available,
like
you
know,
like
this
phone
number
or
at
this
website,
or
you
know
if
you
email
it
this
address,
because
I
just
kind
of
feel
like
posting
it
on
our
own
media
is
not
good
enough
and
I
don't
know
how
other
members
feel
there's.
H
Also
again.
We
all
of
us
have
done
direct
voter
outreach
because
we've
all
been
elected
right.
You
know
things
like
robocalls
are
super
cheap
again
just
to
get
the
notification
out
there,
because
I
will
say,
even
though
we
just
went
through
a
ballot
initiative
last
year,
that
wasn't
city
council
directed
it
was
petition
directed.
H
I
H
So,
as
we
saw
last
year
and
as
we
know
this
year,
there
is
a
lengthy,
the
home
rule.
Amendment
is
very
lengthy,
relatively
to
what
you'll
see
on
the
screen
of
your
ballot.
And
so
then
we
talked
through
it
and
went
kind
of
like
line
by
line
and
point
by
point
and
it
you
know
it
was
a
lot
more
understandable
to
the
person.
H
I
was
talking
to
to
read
the
whole
text,
so
just
I
still
feel
like
there's
a
lack
of
awareness
up,
that
there
is
both
a
ballot
text
and
a
full
text
and
what
the
meaning
of
it
is-
and
I
just
I
think
with
that-
just
we're
learning
these
days
that
when
you
put
something
on
your
own
facebook
and
or
twitter,
not
that
many
people
see
it
because
of
the
algorithms
and
because
of
the
narrow
bandedness.
H
Now
that
you
know
when
you
pick
up
your
own
phone
and
look
at
social
media
you're
only
seeing
a
small
fraction,
so
I
just
feel
like
that's,
not
a
robust
enough
outreach.
So
I
would
like
to
to
have
a
little
more
thought
into
that,
but
I
do
understand
better.
The
nature
of
the
amendment
today
I
did
I
I
myself
didn't
understand
that
it
was
only
something
that
you
that
councilman
burgess
had
put
in
his
legislation.
H
J
Thank
you.
I
don't
have
too
much
more
to
add.
I
would
agree
what
counsel
with
what
councilwoman
gross
said,
and
I
generally
don't
feel
comfortable,
taking
away
a
method
of
educating
voters
and
the
public
without
having
a
plan
of
action
in
its
place.
So
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see
as
well.
What
is
I
think
that
posting
on
the
website
is,
is
a
good
start,
but
what
will
replace
the
active
voter
education
on
this?
Is
it
and
what
are
the
options?
What
are
all
the
options
at
various
cost
price
points?
J
Is
it
robocalls?
Is
it
sample
social
media?
Is
it
informational
sessions
webinars?
Is
it
flyers
like
what
what
can
replace
it?
Is
it
some
or
all
of
the
above?
J
C
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,.
B
H
C
Okay,
two
abstentions:
the
bill
is
still
recommended
that
takes
us
to
our
new
paper
bill.
751.
C
K
C
Discussion.
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
hi
invoices
are
approved
that
will
take
us
to
our
interdepartmental
transfers.
We
actually
have
those
today.
The
motion
for
interdepartment.
C
K
Yes
thanks,
mr
chair,
so
it
is
item
number
31
and
it
is
an
expenditure
of
25
619
for
controlled
materials
for
public
safety
services
during
protest
right.
K
Yes,
but
now
councilwoman
strasberger
sent
an
email
out
asking
if
we
could
have
a
clear
delineation
of
what
those
expenditures
were.
Do
we
have
that?
I'm
just
curious.
K
C
Thank
you,
councilwoman
gross.
H
They
were
ordered
on
june,
2nd,
maybe
may
31st
kind
of
right
at
the
really
the
outside
of
the
protests,
and
I
just
need
to
say
that
you
know
on
june
1st
on
center
avenue,
especially
we
have
an
active
omi
investigation
and
cprb
investigation
into
the
use,
especially
of
those
weapons
against
peaceful
protesters,
who
were
just
there
and
were
shot
at
close
range
by
these
projectiles
that
are
not
really
supposed
to
be
shot
at
people.
H
People
hit
directly
with
tear
gas,
canada,
canisters
and,
as
we've
heard
many
public
comments
just
during
my
council
that
are
a
chemical
weapon
banned
in
warfare,
but
we're
using
against
our
own
civilians,
and-
and
here
we
see
the
price
in
the
dollar
cost,
let
alone
the
human
cost
and
and
we've
discussed
whether
we
should
be
banning
these.
These,
I
don't
know
what
to
call
them
right.
H
These
chemical
weapons
and
these
can
projectiles
and
and
and
also,
I
think,
the
larger
public
discussion
is
about
how
we
approach
this
kind
of
public
use.
Of
space
and
who
we
use
it
against
and
for
what
reasons
right
that
people
are
in
the
streets
demonstrating
means
that
they
are,
you
know,
eager
to
be
heard,
not
eager
to
be
shot.
H
H
The
other
issue
is
wait,
they're
ordered
in
may
may
31st
or
the
order
date
on
the
invoice
that
I
actually
don't
have
in
front
of
me
is,
but
I
looked
at
last
night
is
june,
2nd.
So
it's
like
july
august
september
october,
and
we're
just
seeing
this
on
our
council
agenda
now,
and
I
I
wonder
about
that.
H
Maybe
I
don't
know
if,
as
chair
of
finance
mr
level,
if
you
have
any
or
madam
clerk
do
you
know
like
do,
we
usually
see
a
four
month
delay
in
a
p
card
which
is
just
a
department
using
a
debit
card.
So
I
want
to
say
that
it's
different
than
an
invoice
there's
no
vendor
waiting
to
be
paid.
It
was
paid
instantly
just
like
if
you'd
used
your
debit
card
in
in
you
know
and
ordered
all
these
items
on
amazon
four
months
ago,.
M
Yeah
bill
bennett,
city
council
budget
director.
Could
you
be
specific,
which
would
you
like
to
have
answered
first.
H
Sure,
let's
say
all
the
other
p
cards
on
today's
agenda
were
any
of
the
other
ones
purchased.
Four
months
ago,.
M
No
sometimes
there
are
delays,
apparently
in
the
email
that
I
had
sent
and
the
clerk
had
also
sent
out
yesterday
I
sent
one
this
morning.
The
explanation
from
the
staff
was
that,
due
to
clerical
error,
the
invoice
was
delayed
and
the
payment
was
not
made
until
the
28th
of
september
and
we
caught
this
right
away,
not
questioning
what
materials
were
purchased
but
more
that
process.
M
So
when
we
saw
this,
we
had
no
explanation
when
it
had
first
come
up,
and
typically
these
you
know
the
the
payments
are
made
they're
done
and
put
in
by
the
prior
wednesday
and
then
appear
on
the
agenda.
Next,
sometimes
it'll
be
a
week
or
or
maybe
two
weeks
delay,
but
rarely
this
this
length
of
time
it
may
be
because
these
things
were
initially
purchased
through
state
contract.
M
Possibly
I
don't
have
a
clarification
of
that,
but
that
would
make
some
some
sense,
but
for
some
reason
the
pain
was
delayed.
I
will
be
glad
to
get
a
further
explanation
from
the
the
folks
to
see
exactly
where
things
broke
down,
because
these
things
these
should
come
up
right
away.
M
So,
in
the
event,
there
is
something
we
can
do
about
it.
It's
not
past
that
90-day
period,
when
you.
M
H
H
H
Received
in
june
they
actually
picked
them
up.
It
wasn't
shipped
wherever
that
is
it's
just
on
brighton
road.
M
So
what
they
said
is
there
was
a
clerical
error.
The
vendor's
invoice
was
delayed
and
payment
was
not
made,
so
I
I'm
not
sure
whether
it
got
hung
up
in
the
controller's
office.
It's
too
soon
for
me
to
have
gotten
an
explanation
on
that.
I
I
will
talk
to
both
mr
schmidt
and
public
safety
and
I'll
talk
to
the
comptroller's
office
as
well
too,
to
get
a
further
explanation
and
share
that
with
kat
pencil.
H
Madam
clerk
is
starting
to
tell
me
there's
an
email
from
public
safety
that
I
don't
see.
I
don't
know
if
she
has
information
that
she's
saying
an
email
that
I
can't.
I
can't
see
on
my
screen.
A
A
H
H
So
the
items
were
purchased
were
requested
on,
may
31st
purchased
on
june
1st,
and
so
there
was,
as
they
say,
increased
civil
disturbances
and
just
they
said
they
just
didn't
get
around
to
it.
Basically,
they
were
very
busy.
H
So
that
was
a
clerical
error,
so
it
seems
like
the
invoice
was
just
sitting
here
and
then
the
peak
card
payment
transat,
the
p-card
transaction,
like
they
didn't
actually
use
their
debit
card
to
pay
for
it
until
you're,
saying
late
september,
mr
vanek,
so
I
just
wanted
to
not
let
that
go
unspoken,
that
this
is
kind
of
what
we're
looking
at
here
and
it's
really
a
question
about
whether
we
should
be
purchasing
these
things
honestly
and
using
them
on
our
civilians.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
have
a
process
question
because
I'm
not
sure
that
I've
ever
explored
this.
If
we
fail
to
vote
in
favor
of
a
particular
p-card
purchase,
what
then
happens
if
they've
already,
if
it's
essentially
a
debit
card
purchase,
do
they
have
to
make
a
transfer
from
within
the
department
to
cover
those
costs?
What
what
is
the
actual
impact
of
that.
M
There's
a
committee
that's
convened
to
dispute
the
charges
in
this
case
it
would
be
very
difficult
because,
as
I
mentioned,
the
it's
been
over
90
days
and
the
items
received,
I
imagine
and
we've
never
gone
through
it,
but
I
I
imagine
that
we
could
request
that
the
items
are
returned
or
that
the
as
you
mentioned,
they
pay
for
it
through
another
process
within
their
department.
J
Thank
you.
I
don't
have
any
further
questions
I'll
I'll,
basically,
just
give
a
second
to
what
councilwoman
grow
said
and
my
concern
over
the
need
for
such
both
the
types
of
the
munitions
and
the
quantity
it
seemed
as
if
they
were
preparing
for
many
many
more
confrontations
with
protesters
in
the
crowd,
most
of
which
did
not
bear
out
so
yeah
I'll.
Just
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
so
we're
still
s.
I
see
you
hanging
councilman
gross
okay,
so
second
round
and
we're
still
on
the
actual
motion
to
admit
but
councilman
gross.
H
I
apologize
for
seeing
my
phone
there.
I
had
a
question
for
media
about
the
invoice,
so
I'm
going
to
say
it
out
loud.
I
had
a
couple
we
didn't
actually
say,
except
for
what
before
I
was
looking
at
the
invoice,
I
kind
of
vaguely
said
it
what
it
was,
but
so
I'm
looking
at
the
invoice-
and
it
says
something
like
48
grnd
smoke
cs
printed.
I
don't
really
understand
that
144
grnd
tp
smoke,
cs
140
grenade,
cs
vapor,
96,
ctg,
cs
multi
and
then
1200
ctg,
beanbag
kevlar.
H
Grenade
vapor
sounds
like
tear
gas
to
me
and
bean
bag,
or
the
ones
that
we've
talked
about
in
the
media,
that
public
safety
has
reported
in
the
media
several
times
that
are
projectiles,
that
they
shoot
at
people
that
are
the
less
lethal
rounds.
C
I
K
H
J
G
G
M
The
purchase
has
already
been
waived.
You
would
be
holding
for
a
further
explanation.
At
this
point
we
could
convene
our
committee
for
disputes
and
further
discuss
this,
but
payment
has
been
made.
What
we
would
be
asking
for
is
either
a
refund
or
for
a
change
of
venue
of
where
the
monies
come
from,
but
the
purchase
has
been
made.
The
items
have
been
received.
It's
going
to
be
very
difficult
to
to
not
do
not
allow
this
purchase
to
have
gone
through.
At
this
point.
N
G
C
Thank
you,
councilman
coghill,.
O
Yes,
just
a
couple
things
I
wanted
to
say.
First
of
all,
I
in
that
event
out
in
east
liberty,
I
don't
believe
they
were
using
war
grade
gas
or
chemicals.
That
was
said.
I
think
councilwoman
gross
said
that
and
also
when
you
say
you
know
they're
firing
at
innocent
protesters.
O
You
know
innocent
protesters
did
get
hit,
but
I
don't
believe
our
police
force
was
firing
at
them
and
going
forward.
You
know,
as
councilwoman,
strasbourg
and
gross
had
said.
You
know
we
have
to
have
those
conversations
whether
we
should
even
be
purchasing
these
types
of
materials
and
perhaps
policing
in
the
future
will
be
different
and
we
won't
be
purchasing
these
materials,
but
as
it
is
now
we
did
purchase
them.
They
thought
they
were
doing
the
right
thing.
O
We
have
a
bill
to
pay.
I
guess
is
what
I'm
saying
and
I
think
it
would
be
irresponsible
for
us
to
not
pay
our
bills,
but
but
certainly
the
conversation
in
the
future.
I
look
forward
to
having
with
all
colleagues
as
to
you
know
what
policing
looks
like
in
the
future.
That's
it
for
me
thanks.
C
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
if
not
roll
call
vote
on
the
motion
to
waive
the
rules.
B
J
C
J
C
C
Any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye
in
the
opposed
bill
is
recommended
that
takes
us
to
our
public
works
committee
chaired
by
mr
coghill.
We
have
two
deferred
papers,
bill
706
bill.
K
O
H
There
are
three
bills
on
today's
agenda
that
we
held
and
I've
been
going
back
and
forth
with
the
stakeholders
from
polish
hill,
especially
so
again
as
a
reminder,
this
is
the
bridge
where,
if
you're
on
liberty
avenue
in
the
strip
district-
and
you
want
to
you-
take
a
right
on
28th
to
go
to
polish
hill,
it's
a
railroad
bridge
over
the
you
know
over
the
railroad
and
the
bus
way
with
the
car
bridge
over
the
railroad
dinner
bus
way,
and
it
raises
all
of
the
same
issues
as
the
bridge
that
we
went
through
last
year
in
the
north
side,
in
that,
if
we.
H
H
If
we
demolish
the
bridge
and
replace
the
bridge
which
is
more
expensive,
then
we
use
penndot
funds,
but,
as
you
can
see,
where
there's
a
great
deal
of
local
expenditure
as
well
and
then
we
have
to
adhere
to
the
penndot
standards,
which
is
to
raise
the
height
of
that
bridge,
which
will
be
in
penndot.
Does
that
because
they
want
to
allow
the
double
decker
trains.
H
We
know
that
last
year
a
double-decker
train,
fortunately
for
all
of
us
full
of
toilet
paper
and
mouthwash-
and
you
know
non-volatile
non-explosive
items
fell
off
its
rails
and
onto
down
a
bluff
onto
station
square
last
year,
and
so
that,
while
it's
been
difficult,
I
I
had
wanted
to
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
and
other
concerned
citizens
to
have
a
community
meeting.
H
Things
are
difficult
to
coordinate
these
days
right,
and
so
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
that.
So
the
last
email
I
have
is
like.
Yes,
there's
still
opposition.
H
Yes,
we
would
prefer
the
bridge
to
be
repaired
and
not
replaced,
and
I
just
I
have
to
implore
to
beg
for
more
time
from
council
today,
because
we
just
have
not
had
time
to
really
hear
from
the
concerned
citizens
and
then,
and
especially
polish
hill,
most
impacted
neighborhood
for
this
bridge.
But
really
this
issue
impacts.
All
of
us.
H
I
think
the
very
next
bridge
is
at
negley
just
outside
of
my
council
boundary
and
in
councilman
strasbergers,
and
so
you
know
you
can
see
how
the
train's
going
to
hit
these
in
sequence,
and
I
think
after
we,
if
we
raise
these
two,
then
there's
no
more
bridges.
That
would
be
in
the
way
it's
my
understanding,
so
yeah
I
mean
I
I
would.
I
welcome
further
discussion
and
constance
concerned
about
this
issue.
H
There's
certainly
the
I
think,
the
group
that
we
heard
from
last
year
on
the
north
side,
asia
was
the
rail
pollution
protection
or
something
like
that
rp3
and
I've.
You
know
they're
aware
of
the
legislation,
but
again
it's
just
people's
lives
are
a
bit
in
disarray
now.
So
it's
difficult
to
have
a
conversation
to
really
hear
concerns
directly.
So
I'll
stop
with
that
right
now,.
I
Mr
chair,
sorry,
sorry
there's
something
my
phone
keeps
shortening,
I'm
only
cutting
half
of
this,
so
I
was
just
gonna
support
the
hold
if
we
can,
but
I
have
to
get.
I
have
to
host
the
post
agenda
later,
so
I'm
gonna
go
to
try
to
fix
this.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
can.
I
On
all
bills,
on
the
412
building.
C
We
actually
registered
the
I
vote
on
our
remaining
bills
and
he's,
and
I
own
a
hold
if
we
hold
any
further
discussion.
N
You
councilwoman,
I
I
want
to
ask
the
director
rick's
to
the
table.
N
So
the
double
stack
trains
that
you're
mentioning
councilman
gross.
That's
that's
a
a
very
hot
topic
on
on
the
north
side.
Right
now,
and
so
I
I
was
just
looking
at
the
map,
so
this
is
the
same
line
that
I
guess
it
crosses
over
by
the
by
the
the
convention
center
and
then
continues
on
through
this
bridge
director.
N
Could
you
give
a
explanation
as
to
you
know
what
these
bills
do
and-
and
you
know
if
this
bridge
would
be
raised
as
well
to
accommodate
it
or
does
it
already
accommodate
double
stack
trains.
P
P
It
will
need
to
go
through
all
the
federal
reviews.
In
any
event,
the
probability
that
that
bridge
will
be
deemed
necessary
for
rehabilitation
versus
replacement
is
is
quite
high,
so
we
just
got
this
determination
back
for
the
south
negley
bridge,
the
south
negley.
P
Also
a
historic
bridge
along
the
same
historic
rail
line
is
due
for
rehabilitation,
not
replacement,
so
that
that's
a
condition
there
as
well.
These
bills
are
for
the
design
phase
of
the
project.
Bridge
design
does
take
through
all
of
the
historic
reviews
and
everything
else
that
we
need
to
do.
Bridge
design
generally
takes
about
two
years
to
complete.
It
can
take
significantly
longer.
P
We
do
not
want
to
see
this
bridge
weight
restricted.
That
would
have
a
very
detrimental
effect
on
transit
services
to
polish
hill
and
other
communities
there,
as
you
know
very
well
in
in
district
one
west,
ohio
street
was
a
similarly
positioned
bridge
that
deteriorated
to
a
point
where
it
was
initially
weight
limited
and
then,
ultimately,
we
needed
to
close
it,
because
the
weight,
bearing
had
been
deteriorated
to
a
point
that
we
could
not
support,
live
loads
of
even
the
smallest
vehicles.
So
again,
this
would
be
to
do
the
design.
P
B
N
Now
we
you
and
I
just
attended
a
meeting
last
night
over
over
a
bridge
or
another.
You
know
the
merchant
street
bridge,
and
would
this
go
through
the
same
process
that
that
is
going
through,
since
there
is
not
a
height
adjustment,
but
just
the
historical
requirements
from
the
state.
P
We'll
need
to
go
through
the
106
process
that
we'll
need
to
go
through
the
historic
review
process.
What
we,
what
we
went
through
last
night
was
because
the
merchant
street
bridge
was
deemed
not
possible
to
rehabilitate
the
conditions
of
that
bridge
required
a
replacement
of
that
bridge.
The
first
and
sort
of
you
know
preferred
route
in
historic
preservation
is
rehabilitation
of
those
historic
assets.
P
So
when,
if
the
bridge
were
determined
to
not
be
able
to
be
rehabilitated,
if
replacement
was
necessary,
then
we
would
need
to
go
through
a
mitigation
set
of
meetings,
as
we
did
yesterday
for
the
merchant
street
bridge,
because
that
bridge
the
historic
asset
will
be
demolished
and
a
similarly
designed
asset
will
be
put
in
its
place.
J
Thank
you.
I
I
too
I'm
very
concerned.
I've
spoke
spoken
about
this
in
the
past,
but
I'm
very
concerned
about
raising
bridges,
then
allowing
rail
rail
lines
to
double
stack
and
is
particularly
interested
in
or
concerned
about
the
issue
of
double
stack
trains
with
volatile
chemicals
in
them.
I
wish
the
state
could
restrict
put
a
restriction
on
on
on
transfer
of
volatile
chemicals
through
the
state.
Like
other
states,
I
believe
texas
has
done,
which
would
remove
some
of
my
concern.
J
Not
all
of
my
concern
with
double
stack
trains
but
absent
that
I
do
think
we
need
to
stay
vigilant
with
every
single
bridge
and
you
know
if
it's
rate,
if
it's
reconstructed
and
and
then
therefore
we
have
to
even
if
we
fight
it,
we
have
to
raise
it.
J
That's
a
concern,
but
I
did
want
to.
I
did
want
to
correct
something-
and
I
don't
know
the
exact
number
but
councilwoman
gross.
I
think
you
said
that
these
two
bridges
are
the
only
two
things
standing
in
the
way
of
that
and
I
believe,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
there's
something
like
not
eight,
nine
or
ten
others.
J
So
there
are
many
many
more
that
they
would
have
to
raise
for
the
whole
transit
for
the
whole
line
through
the
city
to
be
able
to
be
double
stacked.
I
don't
know
the
exact
number,
but
it
was
my
impression
that
these
weren't
the
only
two
standing
in
the
way.
So
I
don't
think
there's
any
reason
not
to
continue
to
be
vigilant,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
say
that
director
rick
do
you
happen
to
know
offhand
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot?
What
that
number
is.
P
There
are,
I
don't
know
what
that
number
is
off
hand,
and
this
is
not
one
of
the
bridges.
I
want
to
iterate
that
again,
the
28th
street
bridge
is
not
one
of
the
bridges
that
is
a
constraining
factor
in
the
double
stacking
right.
Now
the
the
clearance
is
already
adequate.
So
if
we
do
nothing,
they,
you
know
at
least
as
far
as
this
bridge
is
concerned,
they
have
the
clearance
to
do
it.
P
The
other
bridges
will
it's
a
their
proposed
actions
are
a
combination
of
either
raising
the
bridges
or
lowering
the
tracks,
but
there
are
about
nine
locations
for
the
public,
but
I
was
just
trying
to
quickly
google
so
that
I
could
pull
it
up.
Here
is
northward
southern
vertical
pittsburgh
vertical
clearance
project,
and
that
has
the
full
plan
online
that
identifies
all
of
those
locations.
O
Yes,
so
I'm
not
one
to
hold
things
necessarily,
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
times
when
we
hold
things
we
come
back
to
them
and
nobody
really
quite
thought
about
them,
but
I
do
hear
the
concerns
that
councilwoman,
strasberger
and
gross
have
in
this
and
director
without
it
implicating
the
process
so
much
all
members,
and
particularly
gross
and
strassberger,
be
comfortable
if
we
held
for
one
more
week.
H
It's
I,
while
we're
hearing
these
this
new,
some
new
information,
some
old
information,
some
some
complimentary
information,
it's
going
to
be
difficult
to
relay
that
to
the
community
members
again
we're
kind
of
they
had
a
community
meeting
that
would
have
been
an
opportunity
last
night,
but
they
had
to
cancel
their
monthly
meeting.
They
have
another
monthly
meeting
in
a
month.
H
H
You
know.
Basically,
if
anyone
requests
a
public
meeting,
domi
is
standing
ready
to
do
them,
and
I
really
appreciate
that,
but
just
getting
all
ends
coordinated.
I'm
I'm
really
don't
you
know.
I've
been
trying
now
for
two
weeks
and
I
think
if
we,
you
know
just
to
kind
of
get
everybody
focused
on
it.
But
if
we,
if
we
don't,
as
we
now
do
that
communication,
then
people
are
very
anxious
about
these
projects
and
we've
seen
that
happen
as
well.
H
Like
that
counts,
you
know
directorax,
please
let
me
know
if
there's
some
crisis
bureaucratically,
but
I
don't
believe
there
is
one.
P
Yeah
I
mean
I,
I
think
we
can
wait
a
couple
of
weeks.
Obviously,
as
I
mentioned
before,
these
are
they
are
bureaucratic
processes
and
they
take
us
a
very
long
time
to
get
through
the
preliminary
engineering,
the
final
engineering
and
then
finally
get
to
the
point
of
where
we
can
rehabilitate
a
bridge
again,
you
know
the
risk
that
we
run.
P
I
don't
think
two
weeks
is,
is
is
going
to
take
us
there,
but
obviously
we
we
don't
want
to
get
ourselves
in
a
position
where
we
would
need
to
close
something
like
the
23
bridge.
That
won't
happen
for
for
several
years,
but
as
we
know
it
took
us
22
years
to
get
to
reconstruct
the
the
west
ohio
street
bridge.
So
that's
the
one
concern
is
to
just
keep
the
process
going.
H
I
also,
while
I
still
have
the
floor
director.
I
want
to
be
sure
that
you
do.
I
have
a
floor,
or
did
I
just
put
it
on
someone
else's
time?
I
think
I
just
brought
it
in
on
councilman
coghill's
club.
O
I
was
just
going
to
say
if
that
works,
for
you,
councilwoman
gross
mo
I'll,
make
a
motion
hold
for
two
weeks.
C
C
So
continuing
on
so
technically
we're
still
on
first
round
councilman
cox.
Here
are
you
done.
P
B
H
So
it
yeah,
so
this
is
the
railroad's
goal.
Okay,
so
just
no
one
be
confused,
it's
not
just
happening
by
accident
right
norfolk.
Southern
has
owns
this
track
and
it
is
their
goal.
Councilman
strasberger
was
asking
about
the
number
of
bridges,
so
I'm
looking
at
a
map
and
I
think,
there's
a
difference
between
what's
in
city
city
boundary,
what's
not
in
city
boundary.
H
So
I
only
see
on
this
map
with
these
little
white
boxes
that
point
at
places
one
two,
three,
four
five,
six
total
that
looks
like
one
of
them
is
definitely
not
in
the
city
and
or
if
it
is,
it
is
really
on
the
eastern
boundary.
It
might
be
right
on
the
border
there
kind
of
down
by
the
mon,
because
the
track
kind
of
comes
down.
The
ohio
like
up
river
on
ohio,
crosses
over
the
fort
wayne
bridge,
which
is
owned
by
the
convention
center,
and
it
takes
a
really
hard
left-hand.
H
H
Until
it
gets
way
out
to
one
one
called
washington
avenue
which
looks
to
me
to
me
out,
I
don't
I
don't
know
what
municipality
I
can't
really
zoom
in
here.
It's
like
a
pdf
and
so
direct,
so
north
avenue
was
the
one
that
was
already
in
progress.
H
Pennsylvania
avenue
is
before
it
if
you're
coming
west
to
east
and
columbus
avenue
is
before,
but
other
than
that
it
looks
like
another.
One
is
north
of
neville
island
so
or
down
river
on
the
ohio
is
the
first
one.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
in
the
city
boundary,
so
it
does
look
like
there's
just
especially
one
handful
in
the
city
boundary
there's.
Certainly
just
I
don't
see
more
than
six.
H
Clarify
some
language
here
that
they,
what
who's,
who
gave
them
the
responsibility.
H
P
H
P
Have
that
what
I
was
going
to
add
was
that
the
there
are
three
other
bridges
that
per
that
present
constraints,
which
I
think
is
what
you're
trying
to
get
at
here.
The
three
other
bridges.
In
addition
to
these
six
points
in
the
city
that
that
introduced
the
constraint
to
double
stacking,
are
the
ridge
avenue
bridge
which
has
been
demolished
and
removed.
F
P
Clearance
issue
who
demolished
it,
but
we
did
because
it
was
no
longer
safe
and
it
presented
a
hazard
to
we.
It
was
a
liability
to
the
city
and
we
were
ordered
to
remove
it.
P
So
we
can't
have
by
the
puc.
We
can't
have
our.
We
can't
have
bridges
that
we're
responsible
for
dropping
material
and
and
being
a
dangerous
condition
to
those
that
have
the
right
to
travel
below
west
ohio
street,
which
is
underway
right
now,
and
the
south
negley
bridge.
H
I
feel
like
this
every
time
we
have
one
of
these
discussions,
I
get
a
little
bit
more
of
the
story
so
apologize
for
for
and
I
don't
need
to
take
any
more
accounts
done,
but
you
can
see
why
I
think
we
need
a
kind
of
lengthy
meeting
out
not
at
the
council
table
for
everybody
to
get
the
same
information
for
all
of
us
to
be
able
to
ask
questions
to
get
more
information.
H
If
you'd
like
us
to
continue
the
conversation
at
the
council
table,
you
know,
maybe
we
have
a
post
agenda
on
just
on
this
topic,
where
we
can
have
other
stakeholders
and
members
of
the
impacted
neighborhoods
at
one
time
or
again,
a
dummy
public
meeting
where
it
can
be
more
interactive
on
zoom,
because
you
guys
have
got
that
down.
Pat
now,
we're
here
kind
of
in
webinar
format,
the
vetting
questions
from
the
community.
I
think
this
is
is
there
is
this
you
know
am
I
am.
I
negligent.
H
I
thank
you
to
the
councilman
for
indulging
me
with
the
hold
I'll
try
to
communicate
the
urgency
to
the
polish
hill
community,
especially
and
some
other
stakeholders
that
we,
you
know,
get
their
questions
answered
in
some
format,
whether
that's
we
need
to
do
it
in
writing
if
we
can
fit
in
a
meeting.
C
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
councilman
cargill.

if
I
don't
know
if
anyone
is
on

can
speak
to
this.
But
I
just
want
to
ask
about
the
size
of

because
I
continually
get
a
request
for
people
that

that

An
increase
of

B
C
N
Yes,
I
just
want
to
ask
the
about
the
program.
Is
there
someone
on
the
line
that
could
answer
a
couple
questions.
R
Good
morning,
council,
this
is
janet
manuel.
I
am
the
director
of
human
resources
and
civil
service
for
the
city.
I
also
have
online
with
me
deidra
cochrane,
who
is
the
senior
manager
of
human
resources
who
oversees
the
pittsburgh
partnership,
and
so
both
she
and
I,
if
that
is
okay
with
councilman
krause.
Both
she
and
I
will
be
able
to
respond
to
councilman
wilson's
respective
question.
Yeah.
R
Thank
you.
So
there
are
a
total
of
soon
to
be
six
neighborhood
employment,
centers,
and
so
the
purpose
of
these
neighborhood
employment
centers,
is
that
they
are
located
throughout
the
city
of
pittsburgh
in
various
neighborhoods.
R
I
believe
there
is
one
in
each
respective
district
for
each
council,
member
with
the
latest
that
will
be
opening
up
soon
for
madam
president,
kell
smith,
and
so
the
concept
of
the
neighborhood
employment
centers
is
the
opportunity
to
provide
the
respect
of
community
members
and
the
constituents
the
opportunity
to
receive
information
that
will
help
them
gain
gainful
employment
within
the
city,
but
also
have
access
to
various
resources
that
will
benefit
them,
as
some
may
need
assistance
in
job
search.
R
We
also
utilize
the
neighborhood
employment
centers
as
a
resource
where
we
have
our
typing
preparation
exams
that
will
help
individuals
who
are
seeking
employment
for
the
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
that
they
can
do
sample
typing
tests,
etc.
R
So,
with
that
information,
councilman
wilson,
I
will
pause,
I
believe,
deidre
cochran.
You
are
on
the
line.
Yes,
I'm
here
director,
if
you
continue
to
add
more
information
to
help
councilman
wilson.
S
Okay
and
it's
nice
that
we
do
have
the
neighborhood
employment
centers
in
different
neighborhoods,
because,
as
you
know,
sometimes
people
are
more
comfortable
in
their
own
neighborhoods
and
sometimes
like
they.
They
don't
want
to
cross
bridges
or
they
don't
want
to
go
to
different
areas.
So
we
offer
that
service
in
the
neighborhood,
so
people
can
job
search
and
do
workshops
or
whatever
they
may
need.
They
can
do
that
as
close
to
their
home
as
possible.
N
All
right,
great
yeah,
I
I've
been
looking
into
this
in
the
past
couple
days,
and
I
appreciate
that
briefing-
and
I
was
you
know
this-
the
place
that
we
have
it.
It's
actually
right
on
the
line,
but
it's
actually
in
a
of
my
district,
but
it's
in
a
great
spot,
and
you
know,
there's
really
a
you
know:
a
need
there.
There's
a
food
pantry
below
where
this
this
location
is.
N
There
is
a
people
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
that
have
the
ability
to
get
stay
in
this
in
this
in
this
facility
as
well,
and
I
know
they
so
now.
This
is
a
a
program.
How?
How
long
has
this
program
been
going
on,
and
could
you
speak
to
like
the
effectiveness
of
it
like
we
have
numbers
on
like
how
many
people
are
able
to
get
employment
through
access
to
technology
and
someone
on
location?
For
you
know,
some
guidance
and
training.
S
I
can
speak
to
that
director
if
that's
okay,
yeah,
yes,
our
we
each
neighborhood
employment
center,
provides
us
with
a
monthly
report.
I
don't
have
those
reports
with
me
right
now,
but
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
share
those
with
you.
We
they
do
report
to
us
how
many
people
come
in
the
door,
how
many
employers
have
they
worked
with
and
they
tracked
that
information
and
they
do
submit
that
to
us.
So
I
can
submit
that
to
you.
If
you
would
be
interested
in
it.
N
Yeah,
I'm
just
interested
in,
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity.
You
know
once
again,
we
have
a
great
location
for
for
the
north
side.
It's
the
northside
common
ministries,.
N
We're
we're
trying
to
highlight
that
right
now,
especially
since
people
are
looking
for
employment.
So
thank
you
for
all
this
information.
S
N
I
guess
I
do
have
one
more
question,
so
we're
doing
we're
doing
equipment
and
then
we're
also
doing
doing
money,
for
I
guess
the
individuals
that
are
there
to
help
and
assist
on
the
on
the
equipment.
What
type
of
equipment
upgrades
are
we
getting
just
new
computers
and
printers.
S
When
you
see
the
the
staff,
that's
actually
like
our
city
staff
who
work
on
the
program,
so
that's
conduct,
pace
for
part
of
our
salaries
and
the
equipment
that
we
use
each
individual
center
purchases,
the
their
own
equipment,
and
then
we
reimburse
for
that.
So
all
these
centers
may
vary
a
little
bit,
but
I
would
think
that
they're
pretty
much
up
to
date,
laptops
and
desktops,
but
each
center
purchases,
its
own
computers,.
L
A

Employment
program

not
to

C
Any
opposed
bill
is
recommended
that
takes
us
to
our
land
use
and
economic
development
committee
chaired
by
councilman
wilson.
We
have
one
deferred
paper,
bill
198,
but
we
have
two
actually.
N
Yes,
so
the
and
you
were
there
councilman.
K
N
I'm
sorry
that's
okay,
so
yeah,
so
I
wanted
to
say
that
there
was
a
public
hearing
held
and
we
you
know
we
spoke
in
a
great
length
about
what
this
you
know.
What
this,
what
the
zoning
code
change
does,
and
I
think
that
you
know
I'm
in
favor
of
the
of
moving
forward
without
further
amendments.
N
H
Yeah
absolutely
so
again,
I
was
also
at
the
public
hearing.
This
is
a
topic
of
great
discussion
and
concern,
especially
in
lawrenceville.
Not
only
lawrenceville
bloomfield
also
has
a
lot
of
these
type
of
dwellings,
just
to
kind
of
remind
the
public,
because
they're
applied
to
the
areas
of
the
city
and
the
type
of
town
homes
that
are,
you
know,
kind
of
party
walls,
and
they
are.
H
You
know
built
99.9
of
them
in
the
city
were
built
before
cars
were
invented
really,
so
those
parts
of
the
city
that
you
walk
through
that
are
just
you
know.
Your
classic
city,
sidewalk
with
front
stoops
facing
the
sidewalk
alongside
a
crowded,
vibrant
main
street,
are
being
changed
because
our
requirement
that
any
new
construction
have
a
parking
space
that
often
leads
to
a
front-facing
driveway.
H
It
also
dramatically
increases
the
cost
of
building
housing
to
include
car
storage
and
driveway
space,
and
so
for
just
a
myriad
of
reasons.
It
goes
against
the
written
community
plans
that
have
consensus
in
the
areas
that
I
represent,
and
so
we
need
to
unwind
our
kind
of
stupid
requirements
in
the
zoning
code,
and
this
is
part
of
that
unwinding
by
just
allowing
you
to
build
a
house
just
like
the
100
year
old
house,
next
door
to
it
that
wasn't
built
with
car
storage.
H
So
I'm
supportive
today,
I'm
also
supportive
of
continuing
these
conversations.
I
think
many
of
us
had
the
phone
calls
this
past
week
with
chief
gilman
who's
said,
he's
supportive
of
continuing
conversations
to
kind
of
raise
these
standards
and
look
to
see
where
they
best
apply
and
even
prevent,
create
more
obstacles,
especially
again
for
my
district
to
the
front
facing
driveways
and
those
big
garage
doors
that
are
facing
pedestrian
space
and
really
taking
away
from
pedestrian
safety
on
sidewalks.
H
So
I
I'm
I'm
in
favor
of
doing
more,
but
I'm
voting
yes
today
on
this
first
step
in
in
fixing
a
problem
in
arizona
requirements.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
if
not
councilman,
wilson
and
part
of
my
ignorance,
because
unfortunately
I
was
not
able
to
attend
public
hearing.
But
I
did
have
a
number
of
organizations
reach
out
to
me
with
additional
language
regarding
no
curb
cuts
being
permitted.
N
So
so
this
just
so
this
this
zoning
change,
this
just
takes
away
the
requirement
for
there
to
be
the
you
know:
the
the
parking
the
off
street
parking.
N
So
it's
up
to
the
the
person
who
is
who
you
know
who's
building,
whether
or
not
they
think
that
they
need
to.
You
know
you
know,
make
that
parking
available
or
not
so
further.
N
I'm
not
sure
if
you'd
like
me
to
expand,
but
what
I
was
just
saying
is
that
further
adjustments
like
if
there
was
a
you
know
taking
it
away
completely,
I
like
basically
reverse
it
flipping
it
and
saying
you
know
you
can't
you
know
you
you
know
in
in
the
in
in
a
in
a
town,
home
situation
which
this
is
this
addresses.
N
You
know
this
is
only
considering
it's
not
a
zoning
area.
It's
not.
This
is,
you
know
specific
to
the
type
of
building,
and
you
know
in
this
in
this
townhome
situation.
N
You
know
it
just
allows
it
takes
away
that
requirement,
but
if
we
were
making
any
further
changes,
we'd
have
to
send
it
back
to
the
planning,
commission
and
and
start
again.
So
there
is
some
discussion.
For
instance,
you
know
you
may
be
getting
some
of
these
comments
as
to
if
there
is
the
the
ability
to
to
have
parking
access
in
an
alleyway
or
on
the
back
side
of
the
property,
then
we
should
make
that
a
amendment,
and
that
is
something
that
we'd
have
to
you
know
we
can.
C
Okay,
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
moving
forward
I'll
reach
out
to
you
after
the
meeting.
The
amendment
that
most
have
come
to
me
with
is
simply,
as
you
put
not
allowing
curb
cuts
if
you
actually
have
access
from
a
secondary
street,
so
don't
allow
it
on
the
primary
street
because
it's
disrupting
the
contingency
of
the
sidewalks
and
everything
else.
So
we
can.
We
can
work
on
that.
After
passing,
this.
B
B
O
N
I
just
wanted
to
ask
the
director
rick,
so
I
realized
that
this
is
part
of
the
bills
that
councilman
gross
like
to
be
held,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
again
that
this
isn't
going
to
hold
up
anything.
I
know
this
is
part
of
the
the
you
know,
part
of
what
the
southwestern
spa
you
know
keeps
their
their
tip
list.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
running
into
one
a
barrier
here
with
some.
You
know
the
word
bureaucracy
was
used
earlier.
L
N
To
this
to
this
authorization.
N
Okay,
all
right,
you
know,
I,
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
on
this
topic
because
you
know
as
we
move
forward
these
are.
These
are
you
know,
critical
conversations
that
we're
having,
especially
with
brighton
and
north
avenue,
that
intersection-
and
you
know,
moving
forward
and
what
that
looks
like
in
terms
of
the
double
stack
trains-
and
you
know
just
to
understand
how
much
really
this
is
on
on
penndot
and
the
state
to
really
you
know,
drive
the
conversation
of
you
know
what
what
are
they
gonna?
N
You
know
hold
the
the
railroad
accountable
for,
and
you
know
I
just
you
know.
I
worry
about
the
risk
of
what
happened
to
the
west
ohio
bridge
in
terms
of
the
deterioration
that
happened
in
the
closure
and
how
we,
the
puc,
eventually,
you
know
required
the
the
the
bridge
to
be
to
be
raised,
and
you
know
so.
I'm
I'm
continually
on
our
stand.
Are
the
city's
role
in
that
in
this
in
this
arena,
and
you
know
I'm
with
the
community.
N
The
community
wants
a
lot
of
input,
so
I'm
I'm
councilman
gross,
I'm
speaking
specifically
about
district
one
right
now
and
how
much
you
know,
the
groups
that
you've
mentioned
there,
they
they
reside
in
in
my
area,
and
you
know
we
need
to
hold
you
know
we
talk
about
mitigation,
moving
forward,
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
what
the
railroad
should
do
for
mitigation.
N
There's
a
lot
of
mitigation
that
you
know
that
they
you
know
that
we
should
really
be
thinking
about.
You
know
if
we're.
If
we're
going
to
be
holding
the
the
railroad
accountable,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
you
know
they're
not
presenting
us
just
with
mitigation
that
they,
you
know,
should
already
be
doing
and
what
we
really
should
expect
of
what
this
landscape
looks
like
for
our
communities.
N
So
I'm
fully
supportive
of
how
we
need
to
move
forward
these
conversations
with
our
communities
and
making
sure
they
have
the
ability
and
a
seat
at
the
table,
because
I
know
the
community
right
now
is
is
trying
to
get
the
best
seat
at
the
table.
They
can
in
terms
of
the
talking
about
north
avenue
bridge,
and
so
anyway,
I
went
on
a
little
bit
of
a
rant
there,
but
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
little
bit
about
that,
but
also
thank
you
director.
I
just
wanted
to.
N
You
know,
also
ask
about
this
bill
and,
if
there's
any
risk
of
of
closure,
you
know,
I'm
sorry
not
closure,
but
you
know
the
funding
for
this.
Thank
you.
H
Of
my
questions
from
the
last
round,
I
apologize
so
director
rex,
you
talked
about
the
the
historic
review
106
process
and
that
it
can
take
two
years
and
that
the
preferred
outcome
is
rehabilitation,
but
it
isn't
always
but
so
clarify.
For
me,
you
said
that
the
the
bruh
that
bridge,
which
we
know
is
actually
at
the
28th
street,
was
the
site
of
a
major
labor
revolt.
H
You
can
see
the
wonderful
placard
there
at
as
it
was
a
historic
train,
roundabout
and
you
see
the
placard
on
on
liberty
avenue,
but
also
that
so
the
bridge
is
deemed
historic
and
who
deemed
it
historic.
Is
it
a
city,
historic.
P
P
They,
no,
they
do
not
own
that
so.
H
P
H
Just
by
curiosity,
I
could
look
it
up
myself.
P
No,
I
don't
know
when
it
was
dedicated
as
a
historic.
H
District,
but
I
assume
the
city
has
always
been
the
owner,
so
just
just
wanting
to
clarify
that
point
appreciate
it.
That's
all.
N
Councilman
gross
is
a
three
weeks:
okay,
so
I'll
make
the
motion
of
the
whole
three
weeks.
Second,.
B
C
A
Bill
753
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
of
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
crs
for
a
one-year
term
for
albert
md
monitoring
application
to
predict
malicious
activity
on
the
city's
network
by
monitoring,
alerting
and
analyzing
information
gathered
by
sensors
at
a
one-time
cost
not
to
exceed
14700
with
three
additional
option
years.
2021
22
and
23.
A
O
T
Hi,
this
is
santiago
garcia's,
director
of
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance,
so
they
albert
censors
and
I'll
answer
and
if
there's
further
questions,
we
also
have
sylvia
harris
on
the
line
who's,
the
chief
information
security
officer.
So
this
is
part
of
a
national
system
that
monitors
data
from
different
state
and
local
entities
and
there's
a
complementary
system
that
the
federal
government
uses.
So
this
basically
detects
anomalous,
it's
not
filtering
any
information
per
se.
We
have
other
tools
that
do
that.
T
O
And
the
fourteen
thousand
dollars
is
for
how
long
of
a
period.
T
Yeah
no
well!
This
is
the
the
first,
the
the
first
year
that
we
will
have
it
and
again
as
part
of
our
initiatives
on
improving
cyber
security
at
the
city.
H
C
Abstain,
one
abstention,
councilman
carca
that
takes
us
to
bill
754.
T
Sure-
and
I
also
have
the
assistant
director
of
operations,
philip
sabino,
on
the
line
as
well
to
answer
any
complimentary
questions.
So
this
is
a
three-year
agreement
with
e-plus
for
a
service
that
we
haven't
had
before,
basically
in
the
past,
but
we
have
a
very
large
and
complex
network.
We
have
over
267
devices
that
constitute
kind
of
like
the
backbone
of
the
network
and
they're
distributed
in
over
100
facilities,
but
this
includes
police
stations,
fire
stations,
ems
stations,
all
the
public
works
buildings,
so
on
and
so
forth.
T
So,
basically,
we
have
presence
of
the
network
in
every
building
and
with
the
growing
complexity
of
the
network,
it's
difficult
to
manage
and
administer
a
network
of
that
size,
especially
given
day
kind
of
advanced,
like
engineering
knowledge
that
we
need
to
have
in
order
to
do
that.
So
this
is
an
area
that
we've
been
deficient
for
years
and
we've
tried
a
couple
of
times
this
year
with
the
budget
hiring
a
senior
network
engineer
and
unfortunately,
we
haven't
been
able
to
find
the
candidate.
T
You
know
these
are
people
that
typically
make
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year,
and
obviously
the
city
is
not
in
a
position
to
pay
a
competitive
salary
there.
So
what
we
are
proposing
is
engaging
in
professional
services
contract
with
e-plus.
T
They
would
be
providing
obviously
a
lot
of
that.
All
of
that
advanced
engineering
support
for
kind
of
our
complex
network,
the
other
thing
that
they
would
be
providing
is
network
monitoring
tools.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
different
from
the
albert
sensors.
This
is
actually
being
able
to
tell
us
if
any
of
the
devices
that
are
operating
in
the
network
is
starting
to
show
failures
before
it
fails.
T
So
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
right
now
is
that,
if
there's
a
network
failure,
we
only
know
about
it
after
a
user
already
has
experience
failure,
which
is
not
best
practice
best
practices
to
have
kind
of
monitoring
tools
that
allow
us
to
determine,
if
something's
starting
to
malfunction
or
that
it's
malfunctioning
prior
way
for
there
to
be
business
impact.
So
again,
I
think
that
this
will
be
very
beneficial
for
the
city.
T
We
know
that
the
network's
essential
for
people
to
be
able
to
do
their
work
and
their
their
reliability
and
stability
of
the
network
is
kind
of
the
the
fundamental
kind
of
pinnacle
of
the
operations
for
the
city's
environment.
J
Thank
you
director
and
when
you
briefed
me
on
this,
it
happened
to
be
the
day
after
our
network
had
failed
for
a
number
of
hours,
and
you
described
this
as
something
that
would
be
able
to
catch
that
ahead
of
time
rather
than
at
the
point
of
failure,
and
that
resulted
in
us
not
necessarily
being
locked
out
of
our
own
emails.
But
a
lot
of
the
tools
that
our
city
workers
use
to
be
able
to
deliver.
Services
for
the
public
were
on
were
unavailable
for
like
four
or
five
hours
that
day.
So.
T
Definitely
it
would
allow
us
to
determine
if
there's
a
failure,
where's
the
failure
and
what's
the
device,
that's
failing
and
also
have
access
to
the
engineering
and
technical
resources
to
address
that.
So
the
contract
includes
24
7
monitoring
where
there's
people
from
e-plus
in
their
network
operation
centers.
T
That
would
be
helping
detective
if
one
of
these
things
happen,
even
if
it's
after
our
so
as
you
said,
you
know
like
it,
this
prevents
from
people
firefighters
being
able
to
be
dispatched
with
the
new
automatic
dispatching
system
and
and
kind
of
doing
the
operations
for
the
rest
of
the
city.
So
definitely
lots
of
impact
and
we've
been
getting
better
at
managing
some
of
those
events.
But
ever
even
since
our
conversation,
we've
had
a
couple
of
other
network
outages
and
events
that
we're
hoping
become
very
rare
in
the
future.
J
C
Thank
you,
councilman
wilson,.
N
Yes,
thank
you
director,
and
I
just
wanted
to
you
know,
ask
and
and
request
you
know
what
we
can
do
this
just
with
you
and
I
or
if
other
council
members
would
like
to
join
or
or
actually
have
a.
You
know,
a
formal
briefing,
because
you
know
I
think,
just
like
we,
you
know
we
have
a
briefing
on
sustainability
and
where
we
are
going
in
terms
of
you
know
our
city
or
you
know
our
city
infrastructure,
I'm
sorry
in
terms
of
our
city
buildings.
N
N
N
T
Definitely
I'd
be
happy
to
share
with
you
kind
of
the
plan
that
we've
been
building
in
the
past
couple
of
years
and
if
that
there's
obviously
certain
levels
of
the
conversation
that
are
highly
confidential,
because
we
would
be
revealing
information
that
is
sensor
sensitive.
T
N
Thank
you
because,
that's
like
you
see
my
hesitation
that
you
know
how
much
do
we
talk
about
because
some
of
this
may
teeter
on
some
public
safety.
So
you
know
I
appreciate
you
know
I'll
reach
out.
Thank
you.
O
Yeah
director,
I
don't
mean
to
come
across
as
unsupportive
for
these
measures.
I
really
don't,
but
I'm
always
just
so
surprised
at
the
amount
of
money
we
spend
to
have
these
protections
or
measures
in
place.
You
know-
and
it
seems
like
it's
never
ending
to
me.
You
know
I
mean
this
year,
it's
going
to
be
the
14
000
for
for
the
new
protection,
where
we're
and
part
of
that
is
my
ignorance.
O
I
will
tell
you
because,
maybe
to
a
certain
degree,
I
have
to
take
your
word
for
it,
and
I
hear
the
other
council
members
and
I
know
that
they
know
that
this
is
important.
I
just
would
be
guarding
against.
You
know,
throwing
money
into
protection
after
protection
after
protection.
You
know
to
some
degree.
If
we
break
down
we
break
down,
we
get
back
up
and
running.
We
get
on
the
phone
until
we
can
get
back
up
and
running,
but
to
have
you
know
a
pot
of
money
to
prevent
us
from
breaking
down.
T
So
again,
typically
in
the
past
two
years
that
I've
been
with
the
city,
the
city,
the
network
has
experienced
a
number
of
outages.
Typically,
what
you
would
see
in
a
network-
the
great
that's
ours,
you
know
like
being
able
to
provide,
as
we
were
talking
with
the
council
of
women
strasburger,
the
our
network
provides
services
to
public
safety.
T
So
again,
I
don't
want
to
reveal
the
information
that
I
necessarily
shouldn't,
but
let's
just
say
that
we've
experienced
network
outages
in
very
during
very
critical
moments
for
public
safety
and
it's
difficult
because
at
that
point
they
end
up
having
to
rely
on
alternative
methods
of
communication
to
be
able
to
do
dispatching
to
be
able
to
do
other
work.
That's
that
includes
ems.
That
includes
fire
police.
T
So
we
have
a
network
that
really
should
be
operating
at
about
like
99.99
uptime,
and
we
are
not
there
in
some
sense,
like
it's
even
difficult
for
us
to
calculate
the
uptime,
because
we
don't
have
these
tools
that
are
so
basic
and
so
common
in
in
in
in
other
parts.
So
again,
I
I
appreciate
we
know
that
this
is
expensive
pieces
of
infrastructure
that
require
expensive
expertise
to
maintain.
T
We
just
want
it
to
fail
less
often,
it's
not
so
much
about.
Obviously,
when
it
comes
to
cyber
security,
that's
a
slightly
it's
it's
a
related,
but
slightly
separate
conversation
again.
This
is
why
they're
they're
we're
requesting
the
two
pieces,
but
you
know
like,
but
the
the
reality
is
like
we
we're
facing
the
city's
all
the
time
more
reliant
on
information
systems,
because
it
helps
dispatch
9-1-1,
it
helps
collect
taxes.
It
helps
issue
permits.
It
helps
the
snow.
T
Plows
operate
all
these
pieces,
all
these
parts
of
the
operation
and
when
it
comes
to
cyber
security,
the
reality
is,
you
know
like
they
were
exposed
to
bad
actors
that
exist
throughout
the
entire
world.
You
know
like
if
you're
going
to
steal
a
snow,
plow
or
a
truck
or
a
vehicle,
you
need
to
be
close
to
the
truck
or
the
vehicle,
with
cyber
security.
T
Really,
as
long
as
you
have
access
to
the
internet-
and
we
are
again
plugged
into
a
number
of
these
communities
working
with
federal
partners
and
with
other
cities-
and
we
know
that
there's
threat
actors
that
exist
throughout
the
entire
world
and
some
that
are
well-funded-
that
are
trying
to
get
an
access
to
our
information.
So
that's
why
we
make
those
investments.
I
just
I
finalized
by
saying
that
the
funding
that
we
are
allocating
here
we're
moving
funding
that
we
had
allocated
to
other
programs
to
cover
this.
T
So
obviously
we
tried
to
do
what's
best
for
the
city
from
a
financial
standpoint
and
we're
kind
of
here
moving
money
to
try
to
be
as
conscious
as
possible
and
getting
exactly
what
we
need
and
not
going
overboard.
But
we
appreciate
the
support.
O
The
director
you've
done
a
good
job.
You
know
I
and
I
know
you're
looking
after
the
city's
best
interest,
I'm
not
ex
I'm
not
looking
at
you
so
much
it's
the
industry.
I
mean
it
really
is
it's
an
expensive
industry
and
one
protection
after
another
just
keeps
coming
and
coming,
but
not
a
reflection
on
you,
and
certainly
when
you
talk
about
public
safety,
not
having
that
communication
by
all
means
that
could
be
critical,
so
so
I'll
be
supportive
of
today.
You
know
it's
not
a
thanks
for
answering.
T
Yeah
I
appreciate
it
yeah.
This
is
one
where
the
paying
the
money
up
front
is
less
expensive
than
paying
the
money
at
the
back
end
atlanta
when
they
suffered
their
breach.
They
were
in
the
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
of
the
remediation
baltimore
as
well.
So
this
is
where
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
money,
but
trying
to
stand
up
the
environment
in
the
back
end
is,
is
always
more
expensive
and
obviously
very
stressful
for
everybody.
B
J
I
just
wanted
to
show
my
support
for
the
gold
belt
program.
This
is
something
that
trains
city
employees
for
18
000-
it
trains
city
employees
each
year
through
a
program
to
think
about
ways
that
they
can
save
the
city
money
and
be
innovative
and
recommend
to
their
directors
and
their
bosses.
J
How
to
save
money
in
the
everyday
work
that
they
do
and
since
we
started
this
program
two
years
ago,
we
have
saved
over
230
000
for
the
city
through
these
kinds
of
efficiencies
that
have
been
been
gleaned.
So
I
just
wanted
to
demonstrate
my
support
for
this.
I
really
am
in
favor
of
continuing
this
program.
L
B
C
C
L
H
Trying
to
actually
click
and
open
the
attachment
here
and
see
if
it
doesn't
break
out
I've
previously
voted
no
on
these
management
contracts.
H
This
is
for
the
very
expensive
luxury
class,
a
office
building
that
council
approved
the
purchase
of
some
years
ago,
and
I
voted
no
on
that
removed
the
ura,
pli
planning
and
housing
authority,
I
believe,
also
into,
and
then
it
has
a
budgetary
operating
impact,
we're
outsourcing
the
management
of
the
building
to
a
private
company
and
is
there
anyone
here
who
can
speak
to
why
this
is
additional
funds,
because
I
I
have
actually
my
briefing
later
today
for
the
ura,
and
I
didn't
realize
that
this
bill,
the
timing
was
off.
H
Is
this
actually
increasing
it
over?
The
regular
piece
is
maybe
mr
urbanic
still
on
the
line.
At
least
he
could
maybe
be
helpful
here.
M
Yes,
yes,
it
appears
to
be
just
an
extension
of
the
maintenance
contract.
It's
detailed
at
the
end
of
the
legislation.
H
B
H
H
M
H
So
I
am
I'm
definitely
voting
now
today
was
as
a
conscientious
objector
to
this
this
project,
but
I
don't
have
any
further
questions
today.
Thank
you.
C
The
bill
is
recommended
that
does
exhaust
our
agenda.
For
today
we
do
have
some
meeting
announcements
this
afternoon
at
1
pm
a
cable
cast
post
agenda
discussion
is
scheduled
via
the
zoom
platform
on
justice
related
and
human
services,
and
tomorrow
thursday,
the
8th
with
sessions
at
2
and
2
30
council
will
be
holding
a
briefing
with
the
office
of
sustainability
as
it
relates
to
sustainable
development
goals.
C
In
addition
to
our
regular
and
standing
committee
meetings
next
tuesday
and
wednesday
at
10
a.m,
council
will
hold
a
briefing
on
tuesday
october
13th,
with
sessions
at
1
and
1
30
relative
to
climate
change.
Also,
next
wednesday
october
14th
at
1
30
council
will
hold
a
cable
cast
public
hearing
on
historical
designations
of
the
civic
building
downtown
and
the
hanoi
rosenberg
house
in
deutsche
town
and
the
spring
hill
school
in
spring
hill.
That
exhausts
my
meeting
announcements.
There
are
any
announcements
from
members,
mr.
K
Chair
just
briefly,
our
zoom
meeting
with
chief
gilman
is
underway,
so
you
and
councilman
strasberger
can
join.
That
would
be
great.
C
Okay,
thank
you
anything
else
from
members.
Seeing
none
motion
to
excuse
the
absent
members
approve
the
minutes
and
adjourn
the
meeting
so
moved
all
those
in
favor.
