A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
standing
committee
meeting
for
wednesday
july
14
2021.
council
will
continue
to
meet
virtually
until
further
notice.
Meetings
can
now
be
viewed,
live
on
the
city
channel
and
live
stream
on
youtube.
Our
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern,
official
action
or
the
british
and
which
are,
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
once
your
name
is
called.
A
C
So
I
have
a
lot
of
work
that
I've
done
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
with
all
of
the
people
in
the
communities
that
are
most
adversely
affected
by
the
pandemic.
Data
is
clear
that
the
indigenous
people
and
people
classified
as
black
and
brown
people
of
color
have
suffered
disproportionately
worse
health
and
economic
hardships
throughout
the
pandemic
and
are
expected
to
continue
on
throughout
the
recovery.
C
It's
obvious
that
the
lack
of
investment
in
the
local
food
system
will
only
serve
to
perpetuate
poverty
and
add
to
the
current
health
crisis,
which
this
disproportionately
affects
indigenous
people
and
people
who
identify
as
black
and
brown
and
people
of
color
and
other
marginalized
people
of
pittsburgh.
This
investment
in
the
local
food
security
systems
will
exacerbate
these
systemic
issues
for
decades
to
come.
Many
of
us
have
worked
in
the
food
justice
for
years
and
we
have
first-hand
experience
in
addressing
the
needs
of
the
people
most
adversely
affected
to
end
the
food
apartheid
in
our
communities.
C
Our
communities
experience
an
extremely
high
increase
of
illnesses
and
deaths
as
a
result
of
food
insecurity.
During
the
pandemic,
I,
along
with
many
of
my
indigenous
people
and
black
and
brown
people
work
in
the
pittsburgh
food
system.
We
work
diligently
together
our
community
farms
and
gardens
along
with
larger
farms,
health
care
entities,
ngos
and
the
pittsburgh
food
policy
council
in
grow
pittsburgh
and
created
innovative
initiatives.
We
worked
around
the
clock
to
feed
the
people
with
the
help
of
local
businesses,
many
other
non-profits
farmers
chefs
and
restaurants.
C
We
met
the
need
city
council.
Investing
in
a
healthy,
sustainable
food
system.
Is
funds
well
spent
to
invest
in
the
future
health
and
physical,
mental
and
spiritual
well-being
of
our
future
generations,
as
our
children
suffer
the
most
without
basic
food
needs
being
met.
You
can
be
the
city
council
to
set
a
precedence
in
the
food
security
sustainability
sector.
Doing
your
part
in
the
history
of
pittsburgh,
by
changing
the
narrative
of
pittsburgh's
food
apartheid
system
of
oppression,
eluga
see
it
received,
I
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
D
D
At
the
upper
terrace
is
an
apiary
that
donations
have
provided
a
volunteer
beekeeper,
tends
the
hives
and
collects
the
honey.
There
is
a
pollinator
garden
with
wildflowers
and
many
perennial
species
that
require
little
to
no
watering.
Volunteers
from
our
community
have
planted
and
tend
the
garden.
There
are
bricks
with
names
on
them
that
that
fundraising
has
has
created,
and
there
are
paths
that
meander
throughout
this
is
a
place
for
people
of
all
ages
to
meet,
contribute
and
learn.
D
A
E
E
Another
topic
is
food
sovereignty
to
address
the
needs
of
the
people
by
creating
sustainable
programs
to
give
the
people
of
the
land
opportunity
to
be
farmers.
Once
again,
the
indigenous
people
of
america
historically
were
always
farmers.
We
always
were
stewards
of
our
land
and
use
food
to
take
care
of
our
needs
and
to
heal
our
nations
until
our
way
of
living
was
interrupted
by
commerce
and
corporate
interests.
E
A
A
Thank
you.
Our
next
speaker
will
be
natisha
washington,
follow
followed
by
john
boeher.
G
My
name
is
natisha
washington,
I'm
an
environmental
justice
organizer
for
one
pennsylvania,
which
is
an
organization
that
advocates
for
community
members
all
around
pa
with
our
home
base
being
in
pittsburgh.
I
came
here
today
to
ask
council
to
delay
the
vote
for
the
american
rescue
plan
until
proper
community
engagement
is
done
in
all
communities,
as
you
might
have
heard
in
these
coming
days.
There
are
many
communities
that
did
not
know
and
weren't
engaged
about
this
plan
until
a
week
or
so
ago.
G
We
do
understand
the
urgency
in
this
plan,
but
as
people
who
need
the
resources
more
than
anyone,
it
should
show
you
just
how
important
this
engagement
is
for
too
long
voices
have
not
been
heard,
as
you
all
have
come
to
see
and
understand
more
during
these
current
movements.
These
protests
and
many
reports
that
talk
about
our
city's
racial
disparities.
G
We
are
not
here
to
delay
such
urgent
needs
in
the
city's
communities.
We
are
simply
just
asking
that
our
voices
be
heard
before
a
final
decision
is
made.
There
are
many
needs
and
concerns
of
residents
who
are
also
your
voters
that
were
not
undressed
or
did
not
seem
to
be
addressed
in
this
budget.
Pittsburgh
is
in
a
housing
crisis.
Economic
developments
continue
to
leave
our
low-income
communities.
Our
water
is
toxic.
Our
air
is
polluted.
G
Food
access,
as
you
heard,
continues
to
be
an
impact
on
the
health
of
our
black
and
brown
residents,
and
our
school
systems
are
a
mess,
and
we
see
few
of
these
issues
being
addressed
in
this
plan
when
all
of
them
should
be
addressed.
This
is
a
historic
moment
to
build
local
solutions
with
all
of
our
communities,
not
just
a
few.
These
communities
have
been
disadvantaged
for
too
long
and
not
having
them
be
a
part
of
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
to
help
change.
G
That
would
be
a
huge
disrespect
to
the
families
who
have
to
live
out
a
decision
they
once
again
were
not
included
in.
So
please
delay
this
vote
until
our
communities
are
given
an
equitable
engagement
process
that,
I
hope
doesn't
solely
fall
on
the
shoulders
of
our
non-profit
organization
is
and
is
supported
by
the
city.
Thank
you
all
for
giving
me
this
time
to
speak.
I
hope
that
all
the
comments
you
hear
today
help
you
further
understand
this
need.
Thank
you.
I
I
I
The
over
800
residents
of
bonaire,
know
that
this
council
cannot
halt
this
sale,
but
council
has
the
power
to
not
only
resolve
that
this
sale
should
not
happen.
They
can
resolve
that
the
property
would
be
worthless
to
the
real
estate
developer,
because
the
zoning
will
not
be
changed
from
the
current
r1
zoning
resolution.
Stating
council's
opposition
to
changing
the
zoning
would
allow
the
real
estate
developer
to
withdraw
from
this
horrible
sale
without
penalty
pass.
A
resolution
stating
council's
opposition
to
the
sale
and
council's
opposition
to
changing
the
existing
r1
zoning.
A
J
Great,
thank
you.
My
name
is
carlin
lamberto.
I
live
in
the
greenfield
neighborhood
of
council
district
five
and
I'm
employed
by
the
pittsburgh
food
policy
council.
I'm
here
today
to
echo
what
many
of
my
colleagues
food
systems,
public,
transit
and
affordable
housing
advocates,
have
voiced
over
the
last
several
days.
J
J
As
many
of
us
well
know,
these
people
often
exist
at
the
very
heart
of
their
communities,
providing
nutritious
food
community,
building
education
and
safe
spaces
to
their
neighbors
and,
as
shaman
pamai
mentioned
earlier.
In
the
comments
during
the
worst
of
this
pandemic,
these
food
growers
fed
their
communities
and
met
the
needs.
J
In
fact,
in
the
spring
of
2020,
when
pittsburghers
lined
up
for
food
distributions
in
numbers,
we
had
never
seen
before
and
the
realities
of
covert
19
were
beginning
to
sink
in.
For
many
of
us,
city,
council
publicly
acknowledged
the
critical
importance
of
local
food
supply
by
passing
legislation
in
support
of
urban
agriculture
in
the
face
of
widespread
in
crushing
food
insecurity.
J
And
now
we
have
access
to
over
300
million
dollars
and
not
a
single
line
item
in
the
proposed
budget
for
those
funds
meaningfully
addresses
the
needs
of
our
food
system.
As
has
been
mentioned
time
and
time
again,
the
proposed
10
million
pittsburgh
food
justice
fund
would
have
a
transformative
impact
on
our
local
food
system
regarding
community
gardens
and
farms.
In
particular,
it
would
support
critical
infrastructure
such
as
water
access,
which
many
of
our
gardens
struggle
with
garden
beds,
seedlings
pack,
houses
and
cold
storage.
J
Finally,
I
encourage
you
to
consider
not
only
this
fund
and
the
final
allocations
for
the
american
rescue
plan,
but
also
the
voices
and
ideas
of
others
who
have
spoken
over
the
last
several
days.
None
of
our
benchmark
cities
have
allocated
all
of
their
arpa
dollars,
so
please
slow
the
process
down
and
make
sure
that
the
people
of
pittsburgh
these
funds
are
supposed
to
support,
have
a
voice
in
saying
how
they're
to
be
used.
J
K
My
name
is
christina
howell.
I
am
executive
director
of
bloomfield
development
corporation
and
a
resident
of
bloomfield,
I'm
here
representing
our
neighbors,
who
we
have
heard
from
on
this
issue
as
well
as
many
other
issues
that
we
have
gathered
feedback
on
through
an
intense
community
process
which
we
believe
in
very
robust
and
comprehensive
community
processes.
K
Excuse
me
I'd
like
to
echo
all
of
those
who
came
before
me
over
the
last
several
days
in
calling
for
a
food
justice
fund
and
and
pointing
out
that
food
is
critical
for
people's
well-being
and
if
a
family
is
hungry
and
needs
to
worry
about
where
their
next
meal
is
coming
from,
how
their
community
can
better
access
food,
then
they
can't
focus
on
anything
else.
The
other
thing
I
would
like
to
underscore
is
that
the
funding
in
this
plan
for
affordable
rental
housing
is
woeful.
K
There
is
a
huge
focus
historically
on
funding
for
affordable
ownership
of
homes,
but
if
a
family
does
not
have
affordable
rental
housing,
they
cannot
focus
on
eventually
owning
a
home
that
that
keeps
their
path
forward,
blocked
and
then
finally,
I'd
just
like
to
underscore
again
that
I
understand
that
there
are
many
urgent
things
in
this
budget
and
that
it
was
pointed
out
on
monday
that
these
funds
could
then
be
changed
by
a
will
of
counsel
once
they
are
voted
on
their
path.
But
once
those
checks
are
written
to
the
ura
and
other
organizations.
K
Then
that
funding
is
gone
and
I
can't
see
a
will
of
counsel
happening
to
take
that
funding
back.
I
can't
even
imagine
what
that
process
would
look
like
so
I'd
like
to
ask
that
this
whatever
is
truly
urgent
go
through,
but
I
would
like
to
ask
that
as
much
as
possible,
if
not
all
be
stopped
for
a
complete
community
process.
A
Thank
you
that
does
exhaust
our
list
of
registered
speakers
moving
us
on
to
our
standing
committee
agenda.
Would
a
clerk
please
take
the
role.
D
N
N
N
A
Thank
you
and
I
do
believe
we
have
councilman
cross
with
us,
but
we
had
the
new
pillar,
so
our
first
committee
of
the
day
is
finance
and
law
chaired
by
myself.
We
have
one
supplemental
paper
bill,
1693.
B
Bill
1693
resolution
authorizing
the
issue,
one
of
three
warrants
with
a
total
sum
of
150
000,
which
shall
be
allocated
and
paid
as
follow
100
made
payable
to
robert
cramer
in
final
settlement
related
to
a
litigation
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
made
payable
to
robert
cramer
in
settlement
related
to
litigation
and
ninety
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars,
which
is
authorized
to
be
transferred
from
the
wcw
eba
account
related
to
a
workers.
Compensation
claim.
O
A
P
Motion
to
approve
discussion-
second-
I
wanted
to
you
know
recommit
this,
so
there
was
a
lot
more
time
to
have
more
engagement
with
the
business
community
and
to
hopefully
get
them
on
board
with
this
amendment,
and
so
in
the
coming
days,
I'm
gonna
in
the
process
of
organizing
that
I've
already
spoken
to
to
them.
The
business
community,
specifically
the
chamber
of
commerce
and
other
large
businesses
that
have
had
prior
interest
in
this
in
this
emergency
paid
sick
leave
bill.
P
So
I'd
like
to
move
this
forward
now
and
if
there's
anything
that
comes
out
of
that
meeting,
we
can
make
the
amendments
and
I'll
touch
base
with
all
members
after
that
meeting
and
let
them
know
how
that
goes.
O
Thank
you.
So,
if
you'll
permit
interrogatory,
councilman
wilson
you're
asking
us
to
move
it
ahead
today
as
it
existed
without
any
change
and
then
make
possible
amendments
at
final
vote,
correct.
P
Q
Councilman
wilson,
I
told
you
I'd,
be
glad
to
work
with
you,
but
last
I
heard
you're
going
to
hold
it
today
and
work
with
these.
Have
this
meeting,
so
I
wasn't
prepared
to
vote
for.
I
hadn't
really
talked
with
anyone
about
it,
so
I
would
like
to
abstain
today
if
you're
going
to
move
forward,
but
I
really
wish
you
would
hold
it
work
through
it
and
then
bring
it
back
to
council.
So
we
know
what
we're
voting.
Q
P
Yeah,
I
don't
wanna
I
like
to
get
this
done
before
the
before
the
break
and
I
don't
want
to
risk
it.
So
I'm
I'm
happy
to
to
you
know
continue
to
to
work
through
it,
but
I
like
to
keep
it
on
the
final
vote
for
next
week
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
have
this
ready
before.
O
Yeah
so
councilman
wilson
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
help
and
assist
in
this.
I
worry
a
little
bit
about
sending
the
wrong
message
that
we
are
are
advancing
the
bill
without
making
the
changes
I
mean
you
are
the
sponsor
I'll
be
happy
to
defer,
but
we
do
have
time
if
we
were
to
hold
it
this
week
to
still
complete
it
before
we
leave
for
recess
at
the
end
of
july,
but
every
whatever
you
wish.
P
The
the
original
bill
same
the
same
individuals
that
you
know
in
the
business
community
that
that
you
know
they'd
like
the
same
meeting
to
occur
before
we
take
the
final
vote.
So
I
mean
it
is
my.
P
My
intention
today
is
to
vote
on
it
and
and
I'm
I'm
happy
to
work
with.
You
know
any
concerns,
and
but
I
would
like
to
keep
it
on
in
the
in
the
motion
of
you
know,
being
able
to
take
the
final
vote
next
tuesday.
R
A
O
F
So
in
our
long
saga
we
don't
have
any
updates
this
week
and
we
are
sad.
F
I'm,
madam
president,
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add,
but
we've
we've
struck
out
on
the
many
many
different
avenues
of
places
where
we're
trying
to
get
access
to
other
pools.
We,
you
know
we
did
succeed
in
having
parks
and
rec
increase
their
wages,
which
they
were
able
to
do
within
their
own
budget,
since
there
are
ten
pools,
not
open,
and
that
did
help
them
get
at
least
a
few
lifeguards.
F
It
is
still
a
very
thin
staffing
levels
for
the
open
pools,
so
we
are
still
encouraging
people,
especially
certified
lifeguards,
to
consider
joining
parks
and
rec
to
make
it
to
keep
those
pools
open
for
the
hours
that
we
intend
to
keep
them
open.
The
staffing
is
really
stressful
for
the
department.
I'm
clear
it's
not!
Madam
president,
sorry
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add.
R
Q
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
councilwoman.
I
just
want
to
say
I
want
to
first
thank
you
for
working
on
this
so
hard
because
we're
getting
so
many
calls
from
people
that
have
no
place
for
their
kids
to
go,
can't
get
to
the
swimming
pools
that
we
have,
and
you
were
really
a
champion
and
and
fighting
for
this,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that,
because
we
tried
to
think
outside
the
box,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
chief
of
staff
gilman
chief
casey,
but
I
really
want
to
also
think
the
pittsburgh
foundation.
Q
They
had
representation
at
all
the
meetings
trying
to
come
up
with
anything
that
they
could
do
in
hindsight
with
the
first
meeting,
and
so
I
thank
them
both
because
I
think
that
they
were
really
ready
and
willing
and
ready
to
help
us
and
same
with
port
authority,
but
in
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
Jeremy
rodden
contacted
me
this
week
and
they
do
have
some
programs
where
kids
can
swim
for
free
in
their
pools.
Q
But
he
said
that
in
the
fall
this
summer
program
is
already
filled,
but
in
the
fall
he
sent
me
information
to
people
who
might
want
to
join
for
the
fall,
but
getting
through
this
summer
has
been
really
difficult.
But
I
do
want
to
say,
although
we're
tabling
it,
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
through
that
and
we
want
to
be
ready
for
next
year.
Q
But
I
think
if
anybody
has
any
solutions
or
knows
of
any
life,
because
we
even
ask
the
universities
to
offer
credits
and
incentives
to
students
that
are,
you
know,
attending
school
to
possibly
become
a
phys,
ed
teacher
or
something
that
we
could
do
to
incentivize
getting
people
to
take
a
job
position
to
get
lifeguards
started.
So
I
mean
we
went
as
far
as
asking.
How
could
we
open
up
the
fire
hydrants?
I
mean
it
was
a
really
difficult
challenge,
just
trying
to
figure
out
something
outside
the
box.
F
So
the
the
legislation
isn't
really
relevant
anymore,
for
a
variety
of
reasons
that
there's
budget
in-house
and
the
changes
that
we're
making
to
the
operating
budget-
probably
today
so
we'll
just
motion
to
table
this
bill
because
it's
really,
while
we'll
continue
to
work
on
increasing
safe
outdoor
recreation.
F
This
bill
isn't
really
needed
so
motion
to
table.
Okay.
M
A
A
A
So
I
think
it'll
make
the
most
sense
to
amend
the
other
bills.
First,
so
can
we
take
bill
1653?
A
We
also
have
kevin
paulus
be
available.
S
A
With
discussion
director
paulus,
you
want
to
walk
us
through.
R
Good
morning,
council
members,
this
piece
of
legislation
is
just
to
amend
the
original
proposed
estimate
for
the
overall
expenditures
for
the
operating
budget.
When
we
put
forth
the
proposed
art
plan,
we
had
estimates
in
there
for
the
expenses
to
the
operating
budget.
R
Since
the
since
the
original
proposed
art
plan
right,
no,
I
do
not
believe
so,
with
the
exception
of
one
patient
care
coordinator,
I'm
also
joined
by
assistant
director,
patrick
cornell.
Pat,
would
you
be
able
to
assist
with
this
question
for
the
positions.
F
T
Patrick
cornell
assistant
director
for
the
operating
budget
in
omb.
No,
there
were
no
additional
positions
between
the
prior
iteration
of
the
american
rescue
plan
proposal
and
and
this
current
one
that
would
have
changed
the
number
for
this.
This
bill,
in
particular,.
F
So
I
just
received
this
morning
the
question
that
I
asked
a
week
ago.
The
answer
to
the
question
I
asked
one
week
ago
about
the
original
spreadsheet,
which
was
while
the
all
of
the
july
first
layoffs
are
secured,
were
the
january
first
workforce
reductions
fully
replaced
and
the
answer
last
week
was
well
somewhere
and
some
were
not
so
thank
you,
director
paul's,
but
I
really
just
kind
of
got.
Maybe
I
got
that
last
night,
but
I
didn't
realize
I
had
it.
F
You
sent
it
yesterday,
and
so
I
was
able
to
open
that
and
look
at
that
and
I'm
concerned
that
I,
what
I
see
is
I
it
looks
to
me
like.
The
planning
department
has
continued
to
has
not
been
restored
fully
and
in
my
district,
which
has
a
lot
of
demands
on
zoning
staff
and
planning
staff,
not
just
from
real
estate
development,
but
also
from
people
trying
to
open
businesses
who
very
often
have
to
also
get
a
zoning
approval.
F
F
Our
planning
staff
struggles
to
be
able
to
handle
those
projects
we
outsource
planning
for
neighborhood
master
planning
and
I've
proposed
two
budget
years
in
a
row,
more
increased
staff
to
planning.
I
know
some
members
don't
support
that,
but
I
think
that
that
is
a
part
of
being
able
to
do
neighborhood
investment
to
create
neighborhoods
of
opportunity
to
create
the
kind
of
city
that
we
talk
about
in
words
is,
is
largely
based
here.
F
When
we
talk
about
the
table,
it's
largely
based
on
our
land
use
authority
and
it
takes
staffing
to
implement,
and
so
I'm
deeply
concerned
about
the
fact
that
there's
no
consideration
to
increasing
that
staffing-
and
I
didn't
see
an
increase
to
the
pli
staffing
either.
Am
I
correct.
R
So
for
the
restoration
of
the
of
the
positions,
omb
worked
with
every
department
director
to
review
all
of
the
positions
that
were
originally
eliminated,
the
vacant
positions
for
this
budget
document.
So
any
of
the
changes
reflected
in
what
was
restored
from
that
list,
received
major
input
from
the
departments
and
and
is
a
plan
that
they
are
on
board
with
in.
In
addition
to
that,
there
were
some
new
positions
that
were
added
that,
I
believe,
would
address
what
you
had
just
brought
up.
Patrick.
T
Sure
so,
working
with
director
dash-
and
this
is
part
of
the
new
position
line
as
opposed
to
the
restored
position
line.
There
were
some
swaps
that
director
dash
had
requested
that
were
worked
into
the
plan
as
as
presented
to
and
that's
shifting
a
resilience
in
climate
analyst
to
a
planner,
swapping
a
zoning
specialist
for
an
additional
planner
and
then
increasing
some
swaps,
planner
for
senior
planner,
principal
planners
senior,
planners,
etc.
F
T
Correct
right,
but
they
were
worked
through
with
director
dash.
I.
F
Know
that,
but
I
still
say
that
these
levels
are
too
low,
and
I
just
want
that
on
the
record,
and
similarly,
we've
been
lobbying
as
council
members
to
the
administration
for
myself
six
years
to
do
remediation
and
make
our
buildings
for
lead
safety
and
to
start
inspecting
for
lead
safety.
F
Our
kids
and
we've
been
told
now
for
four
years
that
we
can't
do
it,
because
we
don't
have
the
money
for
staffing,
and
I
said
that
last
week
and
I'll
say
it
this
week
again
and
I'll
continue
to
say
it
and
we
were
told
we
were
waiting
for
the
rental
registry,
mostly
because
of
the
revenue
it
would
generate
to
pay
for
positions.
Because
a
city
department
can
issue
fees
to
cover
its
work.
But
we
don't
have
to
wait
for
fees
to
budget
for
those
positions
and
I
think
we
should
budget
for
them.
A
If
not,
I
do
believe
the
money
for
lead
abatement
is
actually
in
the
next
amendment,
so
we'll
get
to
that.
But
if
no
further
members,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye.
A
A
O
A
I
believe
we
now
need
a
motion
to
amend
motion
to
a
minute.
Second,
thank
you.
The
emotion
to
amend
is
on
the
table
director
polish.
You
want
to
walk
us
through
this.
R
Sure
this
piece
of
legislation
is
an
annual
piece
of
legislation
that
we
submit
with
every
annual
budget
document.
The
amendment
to
this
piece
would
be
the
addition
of
one
patient
care
coordinator
in
the
bureau
of
emergency
medical
services.
That
position
is
going
to
be
is
proposed
to
be
added
as
part
of
the
proposed
our
plan,
so
we
had
to
amend
this
to
reflect
that
change.
That
is
the
only
change
to
this.
M
M
A
One
abstention:
one
opposed
bill
receives
an
affirmative.
A
A
Okay,
so
two
to
opposed
you'll
receive
an
affirmative
recommendation.
Bill
1655.
R
Hi,
this
again
is
another
piece
of
annual
legislation
that
we
use
to
allocate,
allocate
and
legislate
capital
funding.
So
all
the
amounts
that
are
amended
in
the
chart
in
the
piece
of
the
amended
legislation
will
match
the
projects
that
are
listed
in
the
proposed
art
plan
for
capital
projects.
We
legislate
on
an
annual
yearly
basis
because
of
the
fluctuations
in
cost
for
materials
and
labor,
as
you
move
through
the
many
phases
of
a
project
and
so
moving
forward
with
the
proposed
our
plan.
A
Q
P
R
R
The
an
allocation
for
duncan
street
steps
were
also
added
for
500
and
other
step
improvements
for
598
thousand
dollars.
There's
another
allocation
of
a
debt
for
demolition
of
structures
in
totality
of
2
million.
R
Also
added
to
this
amendment
would
be
80
000
for
a
grant
match
for
the
kirkwood
avenue
lot
and
ev
infrastructure,
as
well
as
changing
the
allocation
for
lead
line,
replacement
projects
to
17.5
million.
F
For
the
record
and
for
the
public's
information,
we
were
emailed
these
amendments
at
12,
10
12.
I
think
my
email
says
today
so
we're
all
trying
to
understand
what
the
director
is
saying.
Look
at
these
new.
F
Now
that
was
attached
last
week
and
now
it's
the
new
spreadsheet
and
is
there
any
change
to
the
resolution
language
because
I
certainly
have
not
had
a
chance
to
come
through,
while
in
session
and
voting
on
other
bills,
the
resolution
that
was
originally
put
on
the
table
compared
to
whatever
the
resolution
is
now,
and
certainly
the
the
what
was
it
100
line
spreadsheet
from
last
week
compared
to
the
100
like
spreadsheet,
from
now
so
you're
going
to
have
to
forgive
me,
you're,
going
to
have
to
give
me
a
little
time
here
and
answer
some
questions.
R
The
language
of
the
resolution
has
not
changed.
The
the
chart
is
what
it
has
has
summarized
those
changes
and
apologies.
If
you
didn't
get
until
this
morning,
I
sent
it
over
to
council
the
finance
chair
and
the
clerk's
office
last
night,
around
9
00
pm.
F
We're
sure
still
you
know
the
public
hasn't
seen
it
at
all
right.
So
you
know
even
people
in
our
you
know
room
here
like
if
we
were
in
chambers
at
least
they'd
be
we'd,
be
having
paper
copies
and
hands
that
we'd
be
handing
out
to
the
room,
but
this
isn't
even
viewable
right
I
mean
is
madame
clerk,
it's
not
attached
to
legistar
or
anything.
Is
it.
F
So
that's
fine,
you
know.
Certainly
we
can
make
verbal
amendments
at
standing
committee,
but
this
is
of
great
import.
F
This
legislation
right
here
and
we've
just
had
two
public
hearings
about
it
in
the
last
week,
which
were
a
little
rushed
and
only
given
people
the
chance
to
react
to
the
legislation
that
was
on
the
table
and
now
we're
amending
it
or
have
a
proposal
for
amendments.
F
Here
and
it's
a
it's
a
lot
to
process,
so
forgive
me,
I'm
gonna
kind
of
scroll.
I've
just
moved
it
so
that
I
can
actually
read
it
like.
We
have
a
very
large
screen
that
I
work
on
and
I'm
gonna
scroll
down.
So
when
you
say
I
still
see,
I
think
I've
got
the
right
attachment
open
a
10
million
dollars
for
pwsa
for
lead
line
replacements.
F
R
The
original
proposed
art
plan
had
an
allocation
for
lead
line
replacement
projects
in
a
sum
of
20
million
dollars,
10
million
year,
10
million
in
a
sec
in
year,
two
in
the
amend
proposed
plan.
That
allocation
is
decreased
to
17
and
a
half
million
dollars,
and
there
is
a
separate
two
million
dollar
allocation.
R
Labeled
lead
paint
project
that
some,
that
is
in
a
sum
of
two
million
dollars
that
we
envisioned
would
be
in
a
city
special
revenue
account,
so
it
could
handle
staffing
if
need
be.
If
that
was
the
way
we
were
gonna
go,
I'm.
F
U
This
was
this
was
added
as
it
was
intended
initially
upon
my
request,
so
I
requested
to
the
administration
that,
because
of
the
conversations
that
four
council
members
have
been
having
with
led
the
lead
safe
coalition,
that
there's
been
ongoing,
discussion
about
the
need
for
not
only
lead
line
replacement
but
lead
paint
and
other
types
of
blood
building
mitigation
that
there
be
something
allocated
toward
that
proposal.
U
As
we
get
more
clarity
as
to
what
it
might
what
is
necessary
for
that
bill
to
be
able
to
pass
and
to
be
funded,
it
seems
as
if
two
million
dollars
is
a
placeholder
for
when
we
have
greater
clarity
on
to
as
to
what
the
actual
cost
would
be
and
what
future
infrastructure
bills
might
be
able
to
do
in
terms
of
supplementing
pwsa's
amount
that
they're
expecting
versus.
U
You
know
what
the
city
might
need
to
be
able
to
have
a
fully
funded
bill
and
pass
it.
So
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
was
something
that
I
requested
on
behalf
of
the
group
of
council
members
that
have
been
advocating
for
that
bill.
F
Okay,
let's
go
look
for
that
money
for
the
record,
and
so
I
do
think
that
that
is
a
good
place
to
start
and
that
inspections
is
where
we
should
start.
We
may
not
know
where
every
apartment
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
is
because
we
don't
enforce
occupancy
permits,
but
we
know
where
some
of
them
are.
We
certainly
know
where
everyone
is
being
evicted
is
because
their
addresses
are
on
their
dockets.
We
certainly
know
where
everybody
who's
had
another
kind
of
health
or
citation
report
right
every
time.
F
An
tenant
calls
for
pli
for
an
inspection.
We
know
where
that
apartment
is.
We
know
where
enough
apartments
are
that
we
can
get
started.
We
certainly
know
the
direct
addresses
of
every
child
who
has
had
tested
positive
for
lead
poisoning.
We
know
where
they
live,
and
we
know
that
the
county
health
department
has
already
done
those
inspections.
County
health
department
inspects
after
a
child
has
been
poisoned
by
lead.
F
F
I
hope
that
it
starts
us
on
this
path
of
being
proactive
so
that
we
inspect
before
a
child
is
poisoned
by
lead,
and
I
will
continue
to
keep
saying
that,
so
I
also
think
the
public
has
not
seen
nor
had
time
to
adjust
not
only
a
four-year
plan,
which
I
will
also
say
for
the
record.
F
None
of
our
15
benchmark
cities
has
undertaken
each
and
every
one
of
them
has
proposed
either
nothing
yet
only
three
of
them,
I
think,
has
proposed
nothing
as
of
last
week.
12
of
them
acknowledge
that
there
are
immediate
needs
both
in
their
city,
payroll
and
in
basic
needs
in
their
population
and
as
proposed
money
to
go
out
the
door,
I
think
nothing
above
30
percent
and
then
they
promised
each
and
every
one
of
the
12
cities
a
robust
public
conversation.
F
I
I
don't
see,
hear
director
paulus
anything
around
food
infrastructure
and
food
systems.
We've
heard
robust
testimony
right,
I've
lost
track.
I've
tried
to
take
notes
honestly.
F
F
I
also
see
that
what
I
complained
about
a
week
ago,
which
was
that
there's
weight,
there's
121
million
six
hundred
and
ninety
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
twenty
four
dollars.
What
I
consider
front
loaded
in
the
column
one
year.
One
that
money
is
not
going
to
be
expended
in
the
next
five
months.
F
It
doesn't
need
to
be
in
the
2021
column
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
director
paulus,
that
is
even
higher
than
last
week's
number.
Oh,
my
gosh,
I
just
moved
my
spreadsheet
chief
gilman
and
I
now
see
you
there,
but
since
I
had
a
giant
spreadsheet
up
on
my
screen,
I
didn't
even
know
you
joined
us.
I
apologize
so,
but
let's
just
answer
that
last
question.
Director
paul
is
the
2021
column
even
bigger
than
last
week.
F
F
F
V
Happy
two
councilwoman
to
the
lead
program
and
I
think
council
person
strausberger
outlined
it
relatively
well
and
you
hit
many
of
the
numbers
on
the
head.
As
I
understand
them,
we
think
two
million
dollars
at
least
allows
the
start.
You
talked
about
with
the
conversation
of
foreign
specters.
That's
your
as
your
math
very
very
accurately
reflects
several
years
of
funding
that
plus
more
so,
whether
that
turns
into
through
these
conversations
the
administration
and
council
been
having
with
women
for
the
healthy
environment
and
their
partners.
V
Obviously
the
inspectors
are
a
start.
There
may
be,
you
know,
and
I'm
saying
maybe
remediation
grants,
other
partnerships
with
non-profits.
That's
why
it
is
kind
of
loosely
defined
and
being
put
in
a
special
revenue
account
so
that
there
is
that
flexibility
once
we
start
inspecting
and
advancing
and
seeing
those
needs.
V
The
money
is
there
and
allocated
to
allow
some
flexibility,
but
it
would
start
with
the
ability
to
hire
positions
dedicated
to
lead,
as
the
need
you
outlined
and
that
came
from
the
the
pwsa
led
as
we
announced
when
we
released
the
arp
plan.
The
20
million
in
our
release
talked
about
being
both
water
and
lead,
and
we
needed
to
reflect
that
appropriately
in
the
legislative
item
in
front
of
you,
which
is
the
purpose
of
of
the
amendment
at
the
moment
to
the
the
guaranteed
basic
income.
V
I
think
you
asked
both
the
legal
land
policy
question.
We
were
able
to
provide
you
some
legal
analysis,
certainly
not
comprehensive
in
total,
as
you
saw
this
morning,
you
rightfully
pointed
out
I'll
follow
up
with
the
solicitor
with
some
more
detail
into
where
federal
and
state
law
intercede
on
this
issue,
but,
as
I
said
in
an
email
to
you
last
night,
in
addition
to
the
legal
question,
the
guarantee
basic
income
pilot
when
we
were
looking
before
arp
was
an
issue
and
we
saw
a
funding
opportunity
there.
V
Given
the
state
restrictions,
we
had
set
it
up
through
a
501c3.
There
is
a
full-time
executive
director
right
term
contractor
being
paid
with
the
grants
that
have
already
been
given.
So
there
is
some
operational
challenge
to
moving
that
internal.
Now
the
grants
have
already
been
received
and
processed
a
person
contracted
and
that
process
underway.
I
I'm
not
gonna
sit
here
and
say
impossible,
but
operational
challenges
to
do
that.
That
would
make
it
more
difficult.
F
V
V
All
right,
I
didn't
mean
to
interrupt
you,
council,
that's
what
I
was
saying
when
we
set
it
up
through
one
pgh
because
of
the
state
restriction
pre-arp.
That
is
why
the
dorsey
grants
went
one
pgh
and
one
pgh
has
been
able
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
the
the
director
of
the
program.
That's
why
I
was
saying
moving
it
to
the
city
would
be
challenging
operationally
because
of
that
structure.
That's.
F
Establishing
prp:
well,
that's
two
different
things:
the
airport
money
is
here
now
and
doesn't
need
to
leave.
I
didn't
ask
that
one
pgh
money
be
written,
writing
a
check
to
the
city
treasury,
but
I'd
be
all
for
it,
but
I
didn't
ask
that,
but
that
would
be.
That
would
be.
I
think
what
the
point
was
that
our
nonprofits
or
other
nonprofits
donate
to
the
city
treasury.
So
what
what
we
see
is
that
seattle
is
handling
it.
I
believe
in-house
doing
direct
cash
payments.
I
think
boston
is
doing
direct
cash
payments
in-house.
F
I
think
st
louis
is
doing
direct
cash
payments,
but
they
might
have
hit
some
bumps
and
we're
closely
following
that,
I
was
trying
to
scroll
down
some
updates
from
my
staff.
F
V
F
Department
right,
the
irs,
that's
where
people
like
my
just
in
the
last
week
myself
went
to
look
and
check
into
some
non-profit
990s,
their
tax
returns
on
the
on
the
irs
website
and
then
who's
the
board.
So
I
I'm
here's
what
I
would
like
us
to
all
have
the
same
understanding
of
when
the
city
receives
a
donation.
Above,
I
think
it's
five
thousand
dollars.
I
forget
the
limits
that
has
to
be
publicly
recorded.
F
F
You're,
you
don't
have
a
voice
on
who's,
the
board
members.
You
can't
vote
them
in
and
you
can't
vote
them
out
and
so
there's
a
real
difference.
It's
the
one
pgh
is
not
subject
to.
If
it's
a
501c3,
it's
not
subject
to
state
sunshine
laws.
The
way
city
council
is
so
who
is
the
board?
So
it's
either
it's
either
under
a
city.
It's
either
a
city
program
or
it
isn't
right.
F
It's
the
city
program,
all
the
stuff
about
sunshine
law
and
voting
people
in
and
out
and
being
able
to
follow
the
money
that
all
applies
to
your
public
city,
local
government.
It
does
not
apply
to
a
non-profit,
so
you
know.
Is
there
a
website?
Does
it
have
a
the
board
listing
on
it?
I
didn't
go.
Look.
I
have
to
admit.

F
I
see
the
bylaws,
I
won't
read
those
on
air.
There
is
a
link
because,
while
you
clearly
have
city
officials
and
employees
dominating
the
being
the
majority
of
board
votes,
it
depends
on
how
those
board
members
are
appointed,
whether
that
will
continue
into
the
future
that
one
pgh
was
a
concept
that
the
mayor
testified
here
in
his
annual
addresses
repeatedly
that
we
was
to
be
kind
of
the
pot
that
our
non-profit
partners
would
put
funds
into
in
cash
cash
into
it
gives
me
pause.
I
really
don't
like
that.
F
The
major
the
public
funds
are
going
into
the
pot.
What
it
looks
to
me
like
first-
and
I
think
that
that
we
other
cities,
can
I'm
supportive
of
the
cash
assistance
grants
and
enthusiastic
to
see
them
roll
out.
But
if
other
students
can
and
are
doing
direct
cash
assistance,
I
think
we
should
too
for
public
accountability
for
public
control
for
reporting
out
and
then
the
concept
of
one
pgh
being
where
we
would
have
kind
of
public
goods
paid
for
by
private
nonprofit
donations
because
they
aren't
paying
enough
taxes
in
the
city.
F
There's
also
something
that
people
were
like
well,
okay,
it'd,
be
better
if
they
just
wrote
a
check
to
the
city
treasury.
But
if
this
is
some
kind
of
compromise
you
know
it
was
not
the
top
choice,
but
at
least
it
was
a
compromise.
But
that's
not
what
I'm
seeing
here,
I'm
seeing
you
put
proposing
to
transfer
public
funds
into
a
private
nonprofit,
and
I
I
I
just
don't
think
that's
a
great
idea.
You
can
you
can
respond
if
you'd.
V
Like
I'll
focus
on
the
the
basic
income
piece,
so
obviously
happy
to
talk
to
you
about
one
tj
gender
publicly,
but
not
today,
our
peeps
again
because
of
the
state
law
prohibiting
direct
cash
payment
as
solicitor
hilton
shared
with
you
again,
I'm
speaking
pre-arp,
the
structure
set
up
was
to
do
it
through
one
pgh
which
having
these
mayor's
funds
is
common.
In
other
cities,
it's
been
highly
successful
in
new
york
and
others.
V
We
also
have
a
number
of
there
are
grants
that
at
times
require
a
501c3
partner.
Some
of
the
work
we're
doing
in
hazelwood
with
councilman
o'connor
in
the
greenways
that
come
in
with
the
purpose
of
it.
So
we
set
it
up
as
hph
part
of
one
pgh
with
the
grant
from
jack
dorsey,
not
public
money,
so
that
we
could
be
able
to
do
that
and
then
go
out
and
raise
other
dollars
to
fund
the
guaranteed
basic
income
pilot.
V
Once
arp
came
about
and
guaranteed
basic
income
payments
was
a
what
we
believe,
a
clear
legal
and
acceptable
use
under
the
federal
guidelines,
rather
than
continue
to
knock
on
doors
and
tries
to
raise
money
from
foundations
and
corporations
and
others.
And
given
the
incredible
need
to
support
african-american
women
in
the
city
at
under
50,
we
decided
to
use
the
arp
money
to
fund
the
actual
payments
and
to
use
the
outside
grants.
V
We
received
to
pay
the
the
overheads
that
staffing,
that's
research,
etc,
and
so,
given
that
it
had
already
been
structured
at
one
pgh
because
of
the
state
law,
we
believed
to
get
the
dollars
out
for
those
in
need.
This
was
the
fastest
and
most
efficient
way.
Any
agreement,
even
after
today
to
send
the
money
would
still
have
to
come
back
to
council
and
certainly
council,
and
we
would
work
with
council
on
any
transparency
requirement.
V
There
is
no
no
intent
to
do
anything
that
is
not
transparent.
With
this,
we've
been
very
public,
with
the
mayor's
leadership
on
guaranteed
basic
income
and
working
through
the
the
state
for
them.
Sorry,
the
national
partnership
and
so
dollars
that
are
transferred
with
reporting
guidelines
back
to
council
and
transparency.
It's
something
we'd
gladly
work
with
you
on
it's
important
that
the
public
understands
that
our
whole
point
is
to
show
the
success
of
this
model
and
change,
state
and
federal
policy.
So
we
want
to
be,
you
know
more
than
transparent.
F
V
That's
what
I'm
stating
councilman
today
is
not
an
approval
of
a
transfer
of
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
one
pdh.
Today
is
an
approval
of
a
budget
reopening
that
involves
showing
an
arp
spending
plan.
Any
agreement
to
go
into
a
transfer
would
have
to
come
back
to
council,
where
you
could
do
it
before
that
is
not
what's
being
voted
on
today.
F
So
you
also
said
that
you
were
that
this
would
allow
the
allocations
or
the
the
cash
payments
to
begin.
When
did
you
receive?
When
did
blind
pgh
receive
the
alec,
the
actual
check
from
or
transfer
from
mr
dorsey.
F
It's
been
enhanced
at
least
publicly
announced,
as
I
think
last
september,
that
you've
received
it
and
that
you
would
be
cutting
those
checks
from
one
pgh
before
the
end
of
2020.
So
I
think
if
the,
if
you
had
that
there
was
urgency-
and
I
also
do
think
those
texts
should
have
started.
V
Respectfully
councilman,
as
announced
at
the
time,
jack
dorsey's
dollars
were
not
for
the
direct
payments,
they
were
number
one
matching
grant
and
we
had
to
raise
the
other
money
to
do
it
so
that
we
were
not
legally
allowed
to
use
that,
and
the
majority
of
the
money
is
not
in
hand.
There
is
some
money
that
allowed
us
to
hire
the
director
to
start
putting
in
the
framework
to
issue
the
checks.
All
of
the
money
I
know
is
not
in
hand
and
was
a
match.
Significant
piece
was
a
match
for
dollars.
F
I
guess
that
wasn't
exactly
clear,
since
we
didn't
have
the
legislation
in
front
of
us,
since
it
wasn't
public
dollars.
So
thank
you
for
the
update,
but
that
kind
of
proves
my
point.
It's
a
little
harder
to
keep
track
of
even
for
someone
as
concerned
about
it
as
I
am
and
supportive
of
the
initiative,
it's
really
hard
to
keep
track
of,
and
it's
not
in
the
public
record.
F
So
yes,
thank
you.
I
would
like
for
council
to
put
some
controls
in
place
before
there
is
any
transfer
of
public
funds
to
a
private
nonprofit.
F
For
again
it
was,
I
think,
lost
there
in
what
you
said
that
the
private
three
million
dollar
donation
from
mr
dempsey
or
matching
grant
from
mr
dempsey
under
state
law
would
have
been
precluded
from
being
dispersed
by
the
city.
Is
the
interpretation
of
our
solicitors?
Although
what
I
read
that
I
got
this
morning,
wasn't
quite
as
clear
as
you
put
it,
I
think,
but
that
these
arpa
funds
are
clearly
allowed
and
so
don't
need
to
be
commingled
in
one
pgh.
F
That's
that's
still
how
I'm
reading
the
situation,
but
if
the
will
of
counsel
is
to
allow
that
transfer.
I
do
hope
that
my
colleagues
and
I
would
work
on
putting
some
transparency
controls
in
place
so
that
we
can
all
keep
more
current.
I
appreciate
it.
I
I
do
have
a
few
other
points.
While
I
still
have
the
floor
on
this
one.
F
And
I
think
I
touched
on
it
already
when
I
talked
about
the
fact
that
I
don't
see
hearing
the
amendments
allocations
to
food
to
food
systems.
But
particularly
there
was
a
clear
call
for
10
million
dollars
for
a
food
justice
fund,
and
I
just
wanted
to
update
members
as
we're
looking
at
our
15
benchmark
cities,
which
we've
been
comparing
ourselves
to
for
20
years
or
more.
F
That
I
see
things
like
funding
for
a
kitchen,
a
good
food
kitchen
in
seattle,
which
works
to
strengthen
a
local
food
pipeline.
Because
again
you
need
to
have
small
scale,
accessible,
inclusive.
Other
parts
of
the
food
system
like
food
handling,
food
storage,
food
processing,
food,
cold,
cold
storage,
food
distribution
at
a
scale
that
small
local
business
owners
and
community
gardeners
can
access
that.
Isn't
I
always
do
a
contest,
in
contrast
to
like
the
30,
000
square,
foot,
giant,
eagle,
cold
storage
facility.
F
They
don't
have
access
to
that.
They
need
smaller
scale.
I've
known
food
producers
who
rented
even
a
single
pallet
in
cold
storage,
and
that
was
the
scale
that
they
needed
and
it
was
very
affordable
to
do
that
to
basically
just
have
shared
space
in
someone
else's
cold
storage,
which
was
in
the
strip
district,
but
is
now
gone
and
there's
no
luxury
apartments.
So
there
has
been
a
net
loss
in
local
businesses
that
support
local
food
over
time.
F
Most
of
them
were
congregated
in
the
strip
district
from
trucking
companies
to
ice
companies
to
warehousing
to
cold
storage
and
those
are
now
long
gone.
And
so
I
think
it's
something
that
other
people,
other
cities
that
we
compare
ourselves
to
are
doing
with
these
funds
and
we've
very,
we
loudly
heard
a
call
for
a
10
million
food
justice
fund
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
that
call
to
action.
I
don't
see
it
here,
but
I
think
I'll
wrap
up
since
I
took
up
a
great
deal
of
time
and
there
may
be
other
members.
P
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
you
know
I
think
the
comments
around
lead
inspectors.
I
think
we
just
need
to
understand
that.
We
first
need
to
insert
our
ability
to
inspect
in
the
international
property
maintenance
code,
and
then
we
need
the
ability
to
get
inside
the
homes
to
inspect.
P
P
F
Second
round
I
appreciate
it.
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
what
chief
gilman
assured
us
of-
and
I
appreciate
you
clarifying
the
process
for
the
public
and
for
us
that
this
allocation
does
not
authorize
any
of
the
transfers
in
year.
One-
and
I
have
been
emphasizing
that.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understood
you
clearly
and
everybody
understands
you
clearly,
so
there
will
be
no
checks
written
for
pwsa
for
the
ura,
for
avenues
of
hope
for
one
pgh
without
further
public
process.
F
Specific
resolutions
clearly
identified
in
front
of
council
where
people
would
have
public
comment
and
we
would
have
time
for
further
covenants
or
re
or
requirements
on
those
funds,
like
transparency,
etc.
V
All
right
ask
director
paulus
to
also
back
me
up,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
100,
accurate
and
transparent
on
this
point
I'll
answer,
and
then
director
police,
please
publicly
correct
me
if
I
misstate
it
for
counseling
the
public.
These
are
budget
bills.
Therefore,
the
allocations
within
the
city
budget,
I.e
positions
being
reinstated.
V
The
the
three
percent
cost
of
living
adjustment
for
non-union
employees,
those
things
this
is
the
authorization
those
those
could
move
forward
with
with
your
approval
today
and
tuesday,
transfers
to
any
outside
organ,
and
the
same
would
be
true
with
capital
so
dollars
that
now
can
go
towards
the
davis
avenue
bridge
or
irvine
street
sidewalks,
or
something
like
that.
Those
are
your
approvals
transfers
to
an
outside
organization,
I.e,
pwsa
or
the
ura
would
require
council
approval
of
either
a
new
co-op
or
amending
existing
cooperation
agreements
for
the
transfer
of
those
funds.
F
Okay,
so
I,
but
that
is,
I
think,
important
for
everyone
to
hear,
and
we
can
all
look
out
for
that.
I
have
to
ask
you
one
more
thing.
Chief
yesterday,
the
57th
street
steps
collapsed.
We've
been
going
back
and
forth
on
it
for
two
years
right
trying
to
find
funds
trying
to
do
some
improvements,
and
then
they
would
collapse
again.
F
It
looks
like
a
beautiful
job.
You
announced
on
twitter
that
the
mayor
would
be
allocating
funds
for
the
57th
street
step
entire
project,
there's
for
everyone's
information.
There's
one
house
to
which
that
is
the
only
access,
there's,
no
other.
You
can
barely
even
walk
to
the
house
right.
You
have
to
walk
up
those
steps,
there's
no
driveway
or
anything,
but
what
you've
added
here
today
is
duncan
street
steps.
V
I
I
apologize
that
that
is,
I
will
take
full
responsibility.
You
are
talking
about
the
correct,
correct
steps
and
if
you
would
want
to
make
or
would
be
willing
to
make
some
sort
of
verbal
amendment,
certainly
I
welcome
that.
We
also
try
to
list
it
and
I
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me.
You
do
the
wording
because
we
don't
know
the
exact
cost
of
those
steps.
Those
would
be
where
we
start.
We
don't
know
the
exact
cost.
V
So
this
number
as
a
guest,
it
was
meant
to
say
kind
of
comma
or
slash
critical
step
repair
so
that
there
was
that
flexibility
that
we
weren't
allocating
in
exact
amount.
But
those
are
the
steps
we
are
intending
to
start
on
and
I've
directed
domi
to
start
the
boring
and
everything
else
they
have
to
do
to
engineer
those
immediately.
So
I
certainly
apologize
if
I
use
the
wrong
street,
I
believe
duncan
steps
is
a.
F
F
Right,
you
can,
you
used
to
be,
but
you
can't
now.
So
I
will
motion
to
amend
attachments,
a
exhibit,
a
version,
two
draft
of
2021
1652
line,
50
to
say,
57th
street
steps.
P
F
A
N
A
If
not,
I
do
want
to
say
at
least
one
thing,
because
I
did
sit
and
listen
to
all
the
speakers
who
spoke
both
on
saturday
and
on
monday
evening,
but
I
also
took
umbrage
with
some
of
the
remarks,
because
some
of
the
remarks
around
lack
of
public
engagement
makes
the
assumption
that
I
haven't
been
doing
my
job
all
year.
Long.
A
The
reality
is
as
a
council
person,
and
I
believe
this
is
true
for
most
council
members,
but
speaking
for
myself.
The
reality
is
all
year
long.
I
attend
meetings.
I
attend
meetings
hosted
by
cdcs.
I
attend
meetings
hosted
by
community
groups.
I
attend
meetings
when
residents
and
homeowners
say
hey.
We
need
to
talk
to
you
about
issue
a
b
or
c
and
all
year
long.
A
A
I
had
conversations
with
them
about
how
to
utilize
this
money
and
so
to
then
come
on
and
say
we
haven't
had
public
engagement
when
they
have
actually
spoken
to
me
directly
is
disingenuous
at
best
at
worst
actually-
and
so
I
take,
I
do
need
to
state
that
for
most
of
us
the
budget
doesn't
just
start
the
minute.
A
mayor
introduces
a
budget
or
proposes
a
budget.
A
That's
a
year-long
process
of
us
listening
of
us
understanding,
which
is
why
and
I'll
speak
up
for
councilman
wilson,
which
is
why
the
davis-as-new
bridge
gets
put
into
this
bill
because
it's
something
that
he's
heard
about
for
a
long
period
of
time,
which
is
why,
for
many
of
us,
the
capital
projects
that
got
into
this
bill
are
in
there,
because
we've
heard
from
our
constituents
over
a
very
long
period
of
time
that
this
is
what's
actually
necessary.
Which
is
why
we
then
budget
based
upon
the
way
we
do.
So.
A
I
just
felt
the
need
to
say
that
with
that
being
said,
I
also
have
heard
I
see
you
councilman.
I
also
have
heard
some
other
suggestions
of
how
we
still
can
do
this
better,
and
I
specifically
want
to
acknowledge
councilwoman
strasberger,
who
has
had
a
number
of
conversations
with
me
about
how
we
actually
can
still
do
a
better
process
of
ensuring
that
we
hear
from
as
many
people
as
possible
and
so
even
into
her
credit
she's,
been
working
on
the
system
to
to
do
that
better.
A
A
We
have
to
over
a
long
period
of
time,
continue
to
engage
the
public
over
what
this
looks
like
and
how
we
actually
spend
these
dollars.
This
is
not
the
end-all
be-all.
This
is
really
step
one
two.
It
also
needs
acknowledged
that
these
dollars,
we
need
to
start
this
process.
Now,
we've
heard
time
and
time
again,
we
heard
over
the
course
of
the
last
year
and
how
we
need
to
address
the
needs
of
our
constituents,
which
is
why,
for
me,
it
is
important
to
begin
moving
this
forward
now.
A
Lastly,
what
I
also
just
want
to
say
is
allegheny
county
also
received
arp
funding.
Allegheny
county
has
over
380
million
dollars
that
they
received
much
of
what
much
of
which
people
have
come
to
city
council.
Asking
us
to
spend
money
on
is
literally
the
responsibility
of
allegheny
county.
They
could
absolutely,
in
a
heartbeat,
take
10
million
dollars
to
put
towards
the
food
initiative
that
many
have
come
to
council
and
spoke
about.
A
I
also
like
what
they
have
spoken
about
and
I'm
interested
in
figuring
out
how
council
can
support
it,
but
allegheny
county
has
over
380
million
dollars
that
they
can
allocate
to,
many
of
which
is
people
have
come
to
city
council
asking
for
people
have
come
to
city
council
asking
us
to
support
the
port
authority.
That
is
not
our
job.
It
is
not
our
responsibility.
We
have
no
say-so
over
that
allegheny
county
does
and
they
also
have
the
resources
to
do
something
about
it.
A
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
think
you
spoke
eloquently
about
the
view
that
I
take
as
well.
I
didn't
want
to
let
the
moment
pass
on.
P
You
know
the
vote
to
comment
on
the
on
the
on
the
current
budget
that
we
see
in
front
of
us
as
we
reopen
this
this
budget
2021
and
and
allocate
these
arp,
and
that
it
is
the
start
of
you
know
putting
it
in
these
different
buckets
and
moving
forward
with
continuing
the
public
process,
and
I
echo
your
comments
of
you
know.
As
I
represent.
P
You
know,
14
neighborhoods
different.
You
know
each
one
of
them
have
their
own
community
group
meetings
and
and
we
my
office,
have
have
implemented
a
strategy
to
engage
each
community
group
in
a
fashion
where
we
try
to
you
know,
let
people
understand
what
can
be
asked
for
in
the
budget
or
what
we
can
put
in
the
budget
we
can't
and
how
we
can.
P
You
know
really
insert
those
items
in
there
for
the
future,
and
you
know
there
was
a
there
was
a
moment
on
facebook
that
happened
that
I
thought
really
tells
the
story
of
why
I
think
it's
it's
pressing
to
start
putting
money
in
these,
and
I
can
may
meander
through
the
spreadsheet
that
I'm
looking
at
of
the
different
line
item
allocations
to
talk
about
some
of
these
projects.
P
But
I
want
to
specifically
talk
about
a
post
that
I
was
engaged
with,
where
you
know
it
was
about
the
davis
having
a
bridge.
Someone
said:
why
would
we
spend
you
know
money
on
a
davis
avenue
bridge
which
would
be
a
bike
pedestrian
bridge
before
we
fix
the
swindle
bridge,
which
is
the
connector
from
northview
heights
to
perry?
Hilltop?
P
Quite
simply,
we
do
have
it
funded.
We
do
have
the
swindle
bridge
funded,
that's
in
a
prior
allocation
and
the
reality
is
that
we're
waiting?
You
know
it
takes
some
time
for
design.
It
takes
some
time
it
takes
two
years
to
fully
get
that
contractor.
P
You
know,
through
the
rfp
pro
or
to
pick
a
contract
through
the
rp
process
and
to
get
moving
on
a
large
structure
like
that.
So,
as
I
see
items
in
the
in
the
budget
that
require
that
process,
we
put
ourselves
at
risk
if
we
don't
make
these
fiscal
decisions
now
for
these
items,
you
know
specifically
for
that.
P
You
know
for
bridges
like
that
and
all
of
our
other
infrastructure
that
we
should
be
taking
care
of,
so
that
residents,
you
know
you
know,
have
the
basic
need
of
of
you
know
utilizing
these.
You
know
something
like
a
bridge,
so
that
said,
you
know
we
still
have
to
authorize
the
contracts
we
still
have
to.
You
know
continually
every
you
know
wednesday.
We
come
to
see
any
community
to
talk
about
these
items
that
were
placed
in
the
budget.
P
We
will
have
a
different
administration
moving
forward.
It's
been
expressed
time
and
time
again
that
you
know
it
is
every
right
of
the
next
administration
to
change
allocations
or
to
suggest
allocations
and
put
it
before
council
to
make
those
decisions,
and
you
know
I
welcome
that
conversation
and
I've
expressed
that
to
others
as
well.
P
So
you
know
my
comments
about
that
is
just
so
before
we
put
this
in
a
five
well
four
year
plan,
but
you
know
under
the
ordinance
we're
expected
to
put
it
into
a
five-year
plan,
and
this
effectively
does
that,
and
I
want
to
go
through
a
few
projects
that
and
highlight
a
few
projects
that
I
believe
are
essential
to
my
district
and
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
specifically
obviously,
saving
the
employment
of
of
workers.
P
Here,
that's
an
immediate
need,
the
wage
increase,
but
specifically
there's
a
program
that
I've
been
talking
about
recently,
the
h
and
urban
poverty
and
outreach
program
that
specifically
tries
to
address
a
gap
in
how
we
talk
about
and
also
you
know,
fill
the
need
of
addressing
people
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
also
people
that
are
experiencing
substance
use
disorder.
P
So,
but
it
shouldn't
go
and
notice
that
it
says
urban
poverty,
because
this
was
started
because
of
the
the
pandemic.
This
was
a
pilot
program
and
this
was
specifically
started
to
address
evictions.
The
evictions
that
we
knew
that
were
coming
and
this
this
entity
works
closely
with
that.
It
was
a
pilot
program
that,
under
this
administration
started
and
they've
expanded
to
do
more
right
now,
they're
in
three
zones
in
my
zone,
one
and
they're
gonna.
Under
this
allocation
they
expand
to
all
zones.
P
P
This
also,
you
know,
I
believe,
addresses
some
of
the
need
to
invest
in
our
communities.
P
Each
individual
council
district
will
either
receive
or
rebuild
or
do
a
full
rehab
to
the
to
the
rec
centers,
the
community
rec
centers
in
the
neighborhoods
we've
we've
been
called
on
and
listened
to
to
invest
in
our
communities
and
to
have
a
fully
functional
recreation
center
in
each
of
the
council.
District
is
essential
for
for
the
for
the
public
and
for
our
minority
population.
P
In
my
district,
specifically,
we
obviously
have
the
david
davis
avenue
bridge,
which
has
been
10
years
in
the
making
capital
dollars
from
a
grant
money
from
the
state,
and
now
we're
going
to
fill
that
and
complete
the
complete
that
with
this
allocation
from
the
city,
and
we
also
have
streetscapes
you
know
for
north
avenue.
This
is
really
the
the
the
middle
between
the
mexican
war
streets,
the
hospital
manchester
between
that
and
the
park
and
to
really
upgrade
that
will
be
essential
for
our
infrastructure.
P
I'm
looking
at
a
lot
of
line
items
here
for
housing
and
to
say
that
you
know
these
items
that
will
be
going
to
the
ura
for
housing
is
not
doing
justice
for
people
who
you
know
would
require
assistance.
You
know
I'm
it's
hard
pressing
to
find.
You
know
in
it.
You
know,
with
the
additional
7
million
that
recently
came
out
for
rental
assistance
and
we
continue
to
provide
rental
assistance
through
the
through
the
through
the
housing
opportunity
fund.
P
You
know
there
is
a
good
conversation
to
continue
which
circles
around
the
the
section
8
voucher,
the
housing
choice,
voucher
that
we
have
you
know
underutilized
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
we
need
to
continue.
We
have
you
know
you
know.
Basically,
we
have.
P
The
funding
from
the
federal
government
to
you
know,
distribute
the
voucher
in
a
way,
but
you
know
the
housing
needs
and
the
the
rehabs
that
are
required
for
the
owners
of
these
these
properties
and
to
actually
work
with
community
groups
to
fix
up
the
properties
so
that
they
can
actually
pass
the
inspection
so
that
an
individual
could
use
the
voucher,
I'm
in
full
support
of
moving
forward
with
you
know,
programs
working
with
the
hacp
to
to
increase
the
amount
that
to
increase
the
the
ability
for
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
to
utilize
these
vouchers
and
to
help
renters.
P
I
see
the
land
bank
here,
the
land
back.
I
can't
have
it
go
on
notice
that
you
know
the
land
bank
is.
Has
I'm
looking
at
three
six,
ten
million
dollars
in
the
land
bank
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
years?
This
is
an
entity
that
has
not
been
funded.
It's
been,
you
know,
basically
criticized,
and
I
mean
so
far,
just
hasn't
the
funding,
and
now
we
we
can
really
implement
this
and
do
it
in
a
public
way.
P
I
also
see
that
there
is
money
going
towards
the
the
land
trust,
so
you
know
to
fully
fund
some
of
these
land
trust
projects
is
essential.
I
have
two
neighborhoods
that
well
one
that
is
working
with
with
the
with
the
land
trust
already
and
to
continually
invest
in
this.
This
administration,
this
council,
you
know
this
would
be
the
first
time
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
does
this
and
I
think
it's
essential
to
long-term
affordability,
and
I'm
I'm
pleased
to
see
that
this
investment
is
being
made.
P
So
with
that
said,
thank
you
for
entertaining
my
meandering
of
each
some
of
the
lines
that
I
like
the
I
wanted
to
highlight,
but
I
just
didn't
want
the
moment
to
pass
without
making
comment
as
to
how
I
I
believe
in
these
out
is
in
most
of
these
allocations
that
I'm
extremely
familiar
with
I
support,
and
I
believe
that
we
need
to
move
forward
with
this
and
and
looking
forward
to
the
final
vote
next
tuesday.
L
Thank
you,
chairman
lavelle,
and
you
know
I
really
just
wanted
to
remark
on
your
comments
that
you
had
made
a
little
bit
and
I
feel
quite
the
same
way
I,
through
the
two
public
meetings
that
we've
had.
I
don't
believe
there
was
one
caller
from
my
district
and
I
don't
again.
I
appreciate
their
calls.
I
appreciate
their
concerns.
L
I
like
hearing
about
you,
know
different
issues
from
different
parts
of
the
city,
but
I
will
tell
you
I
get
my
direction
every
day
and,
and
you
know
in
the
way
of
when
I'm
out
there,
people
tell
me
what
they
want
us
to
invest
in.
For
me,
for
the
fourth
district
I'd
say,
the
dominant
thing
is
infrastructure,
infrastructure
and
infrastructure,
along
with
you
know,
paving,
and
that
is
part
infrastructure
paving
and
demolition.
Quite
frankly,
so
so
I
just
want
the
callers
to
understand.
L
I
get
a
whole
other
set
of
calls
and
I
think
chief
gilman
can
attest
to
the
fact
that
you
know
I
relay
to
him
almost
on
a
daily
basis
as
to
what
my
district
feels
they
need
monies
to
go
into,
and
you
know
I
want
to
thank
chief
gilman
he's
been
pretty
good
and
this
administration
has
been
good
at
fulfilling
those
needs.
So
so
I
you
know
not
to
take
anything
away
from
the
callers.
I
do
appreciate
them
calling
in.
L
I
do
really
like
to
hear
about
citywide
issues
and
what's
happening
in
other
districts,
but
I
feel
like
us,
as
council
members
really
have
a
feel
for
what
we
need
in
our
own
districts.
Most
importantly-
and
you
know
I'll
continue
to
fight
for
that,
but
I
do
agree
with
a
lot
of
their
suggestions.
You
know
and
we'll
have
those
talks
ongoing.
So
that's
it
thanks.
U
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
really
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
speak
to
why
I
voted
no
on
all
these
four
bills
for
the
reopening
of
the
2021
budget
and
the
arc
of
spending,
because
I
didn't
speak
at
the
time
when
I
was
when
I
was
taking
the
votes
casting
the
votes.
I
I'm
really
focused
on
process,
not
not
as
much
content,
because
I
think
that
the
allocations
are.
I
agree
with
almost
all
of
them.
U
Maybe
you
know
there
are
some
some
some
differences
of
opinion
here
and
there,
but
it's
pretty
good.
It's
a
good
start.
That
said,
I
also
hear
what
other
members
have
spoken
about,
and
I
don't
disagree
that
we
as
council
members,
do
public
engagement
365
days
a
year.
U
We
absolutely
do
we're
in
touch
with
what
our
needs
for
our
districts
are,
but
that
being
said,
there's
a
difference
between
knowing
what
the
needs
are
in
a
district
and
getting
to
that
the
end
goal
and
allocating
that
money
for
it
and
making
people's
voices
heard
throughout
a
process.
Even
if
we
know
what
a
certain
project
is
that
needs
to
be
funded
or
needs
to
be
prioritized.
U
U
I
think
that
we're
also
in
a
moment
right
now,
a
moment
in
history,
where
it's
the
expectations
from
the
public
as
to
how
much
transparency
there
is
and
how
much
voice
that
they
get
in
this
is
changing
and
it's
up
to
us
to
keep
up
with
that
change,
and
I
don't
think
that
any
of
I
understand
there's
urgency
too
many
of
these
line
items
and
I
don't
want
to
threaten
those.
I
also
think
that
taking
a
vote
today
and
then
doing
public
engagement
is
disingenuous.
U
It's
not
actually
listening
making
people
feel,
as
if
they're
heard,
making
people
feel
that
they're
heard
is
doing
public
engagement
before
the
vote,
even
understanding
that
we
can
reopen
these
but
light
items
after
the
fact.
It's
it's
doing
the
it's
making
people
feel
as
if
they're
heard
and
actually
listening
to
them
and
if,
at
the
end
of
the
day
there
are
policy
differences,
then
that's
understandable,
but
to
take
the
vote
before
actually
doing
the
engagement
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
U
I
do
feel
as
if
we
could
hold
it
a
few
weeks
until
after
recess
do
public
engagement
for
four
or
five
weeks
and
then
and
then
take
the
vote.
So
that
is
why
I
voted
no,
it's
not
against
the
necessarily
the
content
of
the
package.
It's
it's
about
the
process.
U
I
also
think
that,
while
we
we
each
know
what
our
own
district
needs
are.
We
we
at
a
certain
level.
We
have
to
be
balancing
what
our
district's
needs
are
with
the
city's
needs
and
those
are
sometimes
a
little
bit
different.
So
I
think
that
this
bill
does
that
to
a
certain
degree,
but
when
it
comes
to
public
process,
we
do
have
to
be
aware
of
that.
U
That
balance
and
that
that
tension
there
and
and
not
always
only
be
thinking
about
our
own
districts
as
as
tough
as
that
might
be
for
individual
district
council
members.
I
just
think
that
there's
a
whole
opportunity
to
completely
reimagine
what
our
ongoing
and
kind
of
iterative
process
around
the
budget
looks
like.
I
do
look
forward
to.
I
had
a
great
conversation
with
councilman
councilman
level
last
night.
U
I
do
look
forward
to
helping
to
reimagine
that
and
and
try
different
methods
and
ways
of
educating
people
and
not
just
taking
in
information
but
also
reporting
back
out
to
the
community
as
to
how
their
comments
influenced
our
decision
and
showing
different
metrics
of
how
their
their
their
engagement
influenced
the
budget.
I
think
that's
also
really
important
too.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done.
We
do
public
engagement
down
now
in
the
process,
but
I
think
there's
even
more
that
we
can
do
I'm
looking
forward
to
that.
U
But
you
know
to
be
able
to
stick
to
what
I
believe
is
is
really
important
as
part
of
public
process.
I
did
have
to
vote
no
today,
so
I
just
wanted
to
explain
that
to
my
fellow
council
members
and
to
the
public.
Thank
you.
Q
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilman
lavelle,
for
cheering
these
meetings
and
for
this
going
through
this
and
working
so
hard
on
this
entire
process.
I'm
going
to
first
commend
you
for
the
work
that
you've
been
doing.
You
and
reverend
burgess
in
working
with
the
administration
have
come
up
with
a
lot
of
great
things.
Q
I
I
I've
heard
so
much
here
and
I
heard
the
comments
and
I
do
want
to
first
say
that
councilwoman
strasberger
has
been
very
clear
that
she
wants
a
more
public
process
and,
and
I've
also
made
it
clear
that
we've
had
very
short
time
and
even
though
we
have
vacation,
I
was
willing
to
cancel
the
vacation
or
vacation
if
that
meant
working
through
it
to
get
to
some
solutions.
But
I
will
say
this:
I
don't
think
anything
was
going
to
change.
Q
I
think
it's
disingenuous
to
pretend
that
we
were
going
to
change
something
just
because
we
had
more
meetings
or
because
we
delayed
it
a
little
bit
longer.
I
think
we
all
had
a
lot
an
opportunity
to
have
input.
I
think
the
administration
reached
out
and
sent
this
you
know
so
that
we
could
have
this.
Q
Take
this
time
and
put-
and
I
know
I
see-
councilman
gross
shaking
her
head-
know
that
she
just
got
the
amendments
today
and
I
do
understand
that,
but
they
were
sent,
they
were
sent
last
night
and
our
clerk's
office
received
him
last
night,
but
they
received
them,
probably
while
they
were
sleeping
so
they
they
just
got
to
counsel
today,
but
there's
been
an
opportunity
to.
Q
If
you
wanted
to
put
an
amendment
forward,
you
could
have
done
so
anybody
could
have
done
so
so
if
there
was
something
you
wanted
to
see
like
councilwoman
strasberger,
even
though
she's
not
voting
for
it
did
put
some
amendments
forward
for
the
lead
paint.
So
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
mean
there's
opportunity
and
there's
still
opportunities.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
understand
that
there's
still
opportunity
and
we
can
still
do
what
we
have
to
do.
Q
If
there's
changes,
we
want
to
see
if
there's
a
new
administration
with
different
if
the
new
administration
has
different
ideas,
who,
whoever
that
next
mayor
may
be
we're
willing
to
work
and
talk
with
whatever
it
is.
But
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
for
the
years
that
pwsa
has
the
increase,
that's
partly
due
to
the
lead
line
or
the
lead
paint
project
and
also
councilman
coghill
and
myself
also
requested
demo.
And
I
don't
know
that
councilman
crow,
I'm.
N
Q
Councilman
coghill
and
councilman
krauss
also
requested
them.
I
don't
know
that
that's
that
was
acknowledged,
that
they
were
also
part
of
that
amendment
and
the
reason
why
there's
some
changes
there,
so
I
do
want
to
give
him
them
and
myself
a
little
bit.
I
should
let
people
know
that
we
made
sure
that
demo
was
a
priority
in
some
of
our
districts,
even
though
we
do
a
combination
of
renovations.
We
also
do
demos,
but
you
know
I
don't
represent
an
area
that
that
is
not
in
need.
Q
So
for
me,
I
have
to
vote
for
for
the
things
that
are
important
to
my
district.
I
do
represent
people
that
are
struggling.
I
know
that
some
of
you
do
not,
and
you
have
the
luxury
of
voting,
though
I
don't
always
have
the
luxury
of
voting
no
for
some
things.
So,
for
me,
avenues
of
hope
is
important.
The
stevens
school
building
and
elliott
is
important,
but
the
jasmine
nyree
campus
that
the
porters
purchased
in
sheridan
is
so
important
to
that
entire
community
and
the
services
that
they
will
be
providing
it's
important
to
domestic
violence.
Q
Survivors
because
they're
going
to
open
a
domestic
violence
house,
it's
important
to
people
with
disabilities,
because
they're
going
to
open
some
living
space
for
people
who
age
out
of
the
system
with
autism
or
any
any
type
of
special
needs,
they're
opening
a
they
have
our
employment
center.
There
they're
opening
pla
a
health
clinic
for
the
community,
so
I
the
list
goes
on.
It
is
so
all
encompassing
of
social
services
that
are
needed
in
our
area.
Q
Q
So
when
people
come
to
us
and
they
want
some
things-
I
understand
that
and
I
want
to
help-
and
I
am
going
to
probably
still
put
some
amendment
for
amendments
forward
and
I
do
understand
the
needs
for
the
food
and
and
I'm
not
only
part
of
the
food
policy
council.
Q
I
became
part
of
it
because
I
actually
did
distributions
in
my
own
area,
my
brother
volunteers,
in
councilman
grosse's
area
at
the
lawrenceville
food
pantry,
and
so
I
do
know
the
need
across
the
city
for
the
food
for
the
assistance
for
the
food
for
the
hunger
groups.
But
I
don't
know
that
I've
even
heard
from
the
food
bank
during
this
whole
this
whole
process.
Q
But
I
do
know
we
heard
something
from
some
groups,
and
I
know
I
understand
the
value
that
that
we
have
to
do
more
and
I
actually
think
the
community
gardens
are
is
the
way
to
go
more
than
anything
so
that
people
aren't
reliant
upon
government
for
their
food,
which
is
why
I
did
do
the
legislation.
But
I
also
think
that
we
need
to
put
some
money
into
that
that
program.
But
having
said
that,
I
I
can't
if
my
district
could
afford
to
wait
for
some
of
these
things.
Q
Then
I
would
you
know,
play
the
game
too
and
pretend
we
were
doing
all
these
things
that
were
that
we
really
had
no
intentions
of
doing
anything
different,
but
just
making
it
look
like
we
were
doing
something
different.
I
also
don't
want
to
pretend
that
either
because
for
me
I
think
it
was
really
important
to
make
sure
that
we
started
delivering
services
to
people
that
have
been
waiting
and,
like
councilman
level,
said
we're
all
in
our
districts.
We
all
work
so
hard
getting
out
there
and
working,
and
that's
why
some
council
members
differ.
Q
Sometimes
our
opinions
are
different
because
they
do
represent
some
different
opinions
and
different
constituency
with
different
needs,
so
just
because
somebody's
not
struggling
in
one
area
doesn't
mean
that
they
don't
have
a
need
in
another
and
so
we're
trying
to
all
address
what's
best
for
our
constituents
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
as
a
whole.
But
with
that
being
said,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
administration.
I
really
want
to
thank
dan
gilmanden.
Q
I
know
that
your
mother
and
your
family
is
going
through
a
lot
right
now
with
her
first
chemo
treatment
today,
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
you're
going
through,
but
I
appreciate
that
you
took
time
here.
I
appreciate
kevin
paulus,
our
budget
office
and
our
clerk's
office
and
our
sergeant-at-arms
and
inp
all
who
helped
us
get
meetings
together
on
the
weekends
and
in
the
evenings
and
on
unusual
hours.
Q
So
I
think
we,
even
though
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
meetings,
we
had
meetings
that
we
tried
to
make
sure
we
reached
the
public
in
the
most
convenient
times
for
them,
even
though
it
may
not
have
been
easy
to
get
everyone
together,
it
was,
it
was
what
we
felt
like
you
know.
We
should
do
for
the
public
and
I
think
we
are
definitely
and
I
and
I
would
say
this-
we're
definitely
going
to
go
out
and
hear
from
the
public.
Q
We
are
definitely
having
conversations
and
I
really
want
to
start
in
areas
where
people
may
differ
from
from
our
opinions
or
may
have
something
different,
so
we'll
probably
start
in
over
in
the
east
end
somewhere
and
a
couple
of
meetings.
I'll
get
this
schedule
up
before
next
week.
We'll
have
a
schedule,
any
members
that
want
to
join
us
for
conversations
with
the
community,
not
just
public
hearings,
not
just
post
agendas
but
an
actual
conversation.
Q
I
want
to
say
that
well
we'll
be
ready
to
have
that,
but
I
also
want
to
put
together
and
dan
gilman-
and
I
had
spoken
about
this
I'd
like
to
put
something
together
for
the
nonprofits,
because
I
do
think
we
have
so
many
non-profits
doing
amazing
work
in
the
city
and
we
could
not
have
gotten
through
the
pandemic
had
it
not
been
for
some
of
the
businesses
and
the
non-profits
that
stepped
up
and
helped
us.
Q
But
having
said
that,
as
councilman
gross
said,
she
started
looking
at
the
990s
for
federal
documents.
I
do
that
all
the
time
I
looked
through
990s
through
nonprofits,
my
came
in
my
office
was
an
auditor
at
a
lowering
my
office
as
an
accountant.
So
between
them
they
are
really
good
at
going
through
990s
and
seeing
what
organizations
are
actually
doing.
Work
with
organizations
are
actually
just
collecting
funds
and
who's
who's.
Q
Actually,
who
might
actually
represent
an
organization
that
we
need
to
fund
because
they
may
need
more
help,
so
we're
going
to
go
through
those,
and
I
think
that
should
be
part
of
the
process.
But,
however,
we
distribute
funds.
It
should
not
go
directly
to
the
organization,
an
audit
they
should
go
through
the
make
sure
their
federal
990s
are
submitted
on
time,
because,
if
they're
not
submitted
on
time,
that's
a
red
flag
that
was
at
least
given
to
us
by
the
forbes
fund.
Q
That's
one
of
the
red
flags
you
can
tell,
but
nonprofit's
not
doing
what
they
should
be
doing
or
not
doing
or
not
fiscally
responsible.
They
might
file
their
990s
late
with
federal
government,
and
so
I
think
they
need
to
go
through
990s.
I
think
they
need
to
go
through
an
audit.
I
think
they
need
to
give
us
some
proof
that
they
did
something
during
they
actually
helped
people
that
they
give
us
a
list
of
who
they've
helped
or
some
some
kind
of
documentation
that
they've
actually
helped
people
that
we
can.
Q
Maybe
okay,
you
really
were
beneficial
to
us
and
we
really
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
here's
what
we've
come
up
with.
So
I
think
that's
part
of
the
further
conversation
that
we're
going
to
have
and
probably
an
amendment
that
we'll
see
or
will
decide
how
that
funding
will
be
established
through
the
budget
process
at
all.
So
with
that
said,
I
do
want
to
thank
everyone.
Q
I
even
think
and
acknowledge
that
there
is
a
lot
of
work
going
on
behind
the
scenes
and
with
people
doing
things
and
that
people
are
hearing
from
the
public
they
are
meeting
with
their
constituency.
They
always
meet
with
their
constituency
councils.
You
know
many
of
us
take
calls
or
emails
or
see
people
in
the
community
on
a
regular
basis
and-
and
I
think
all
of
us
work
really
hard,
even
though
we
may
see
things
differently.
Q
O
Thanks
mr
chair
I'll
just
take
a
moment
to
recognize
my
fellow
colleagues,
my
members
or
our
members
that
have
worked
so
very
diligently
through
this
process.
O
I
hope
our
residents
and
our
constituency
realizes
what
a
great
council
this
is,
and
the
the
differences
in
opinions
and
approaches
only
make
us
stronger
the
cut.
The
discussions
that
we
have
and
the
detain,
detain
the
give
and
take
in
the
back
and
forth
is
really
what
what
our
charge
is
to
do
here,
as
advocates
for
city
residents
and
for
our
constituency,
and
so
I
I
would
just
like
to
share
I'm
very
proud
of
this
moment.
O
I
know
how
difficult
the
struggle
has
been
for
all
of
us
not
just
to
determine
the
allocations
of
these
funds,
but
the
how
well
this
council
stepped
up
during
the
pandemic
in
every
every
challenge
that
we
struggled
to
meet
and
did
our
very
best
to
be
our
very
best
and
to
do
the
work
that
we
were
charged
to
do
by
coming
here.
O
And
so
it's
a
pretty
monumental
moment
to
to
recognize
the
funds
to
distribute
or
at
least
begin,
the
process
of
preliminary
distribu
distribution
of
these
funds,
and
it
is
a
a
culmination
of
of
a
tremendous
amount
of
work,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
how
proud
I
am
to
serve
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
the
seriousness
by
which
you
take
your
charge
and
work
so
very
hard
for
the
the
residents
of
the
city,
and
I
will
be
casting
my
vote
in
the
affirmative
for
the
passage
of
these
bills
today.
A
F
Wanted
to
summarize
also
that
I
believe,
there's
no
reason
for
us
to
vote
on
a
four-year
allocation
today.
In
fact,
I
think
there
is
very
good
reason
for
us
to
not
vote
on
a
four-year
allocation.
Today,
it's
councilwoman
strasberg
and
others
in
a
public
testimony
have
pointed
out.
It
makes
our
citizens
feel
that
they
have
not
had
a
voice.
It
is
not
for
us
to
tell
them
how
they
feel
they
feel
they
have
not
had
adequate
input.
F
Other
cities
are
not
doing
it.
This
way,
there
is
zero
reason
in
the
arpa
legislation
to
do
it.
This
way.
In
fact,
the
actual
federal
legislation
calls
explicitly
for
public
input
and
we
will
be
judged
on
whether
or
not
we
have
had
adequate
input.
So
I
urge
us
to
not
vote
for
the
four-year
allocation
today,
and
I
urge
us
to
continue
having
public
input
on
whether
or
not
this
is
the
allocations
of
these
funds
are
addressing
our
citizens
needs.
F
Also.
It
would
be
very
easy
for
us
today,
but
I
say
that
there
is
no
will
to
just
pass
the
immediate
needs
and
the
operating
funds
which
other
cities
have
done,
and
so
that
could
mean
just
voting
on
the
top
portion
of
the
spreadsheet
in
all
years,
because
our
operating
budget
just
requires
us
to
just
show
a
five-year
impact
and
that's
why
those
columns
are
there
in
the
out
years
or
we
could
just
vote
on
honestly
for
the
rest
of
the
the
rest
of
the
spreadsheet.
F
L
Clinton
second
round.
Okay,
thank
you.
You
know
I
failed
to
mention
before
I
first
wanted
to
thank
councilwoman,
kale
smith
and
councilwoman
gross
for
fighting
for
those
pools
to
get
open
and
get
the
lifeguards
out
there.
I
again
our
lives
centered
around
it
as
children,
so
moving
forward
this
year.
You
know
this
year
is
going
to
be
tough.
Obviously
in
many
ways
and
pools
are
going
to
be
one
of
them.
L
However,
next
year
I'm
committed
to-
and
you
know
myself
and
the
rest
of
the
parks
tax
force,
I
hope
to
you
know,
redo
all
our
pools
and
make
these
first
class
facilities.
This
is
a
very
important
amenity,
I
think,
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
We
lost
so
many
years
ago
and
I
hope
to
refurbish
the
ones
that
need
help
and
I
think
that's
most
of
them.
You
know
on
the
bills.
Today
I
just
wanted
to
state.
L
H
L
Agree
with
you
know
the
initiatives
in
fact
many
times
I
felt
find
myself
at
odds,
but
I
do
believe
the
mayor
has
a
right
to
make
his
initiatives
and
his
allocations
as
he
would
like.
L
That
being
said,
you
know
I'll
be
the
first
one
at
the
table
for
the
next
administration
if
they
wish
to
make
changes
where
whatever
they
may
be,
providing
that
I
guess
council,
the
majority
of
council
would
approve.
You
know,
I'm
open
to
any
and
all
changes
that
a
next
administration
might
offer
up.
So
so
I'll.
A
F
A
To
an
opposition
bill
1652
receives
affirmative
recommendation.
Thank
you
all
that
moves
us
to
our
new
paper
still
under
finance
and
law.
First
paper
being
1674.
A
A
Q
A
That
takes
us
to
public
works
committee
chaired
by
councilman
coghill.
First
supplemental
paper
bill
1685.
O
O
Motion
to
approve
second,
very
brief,
discussion:
okay,
yeah.
Thank
you
just
want
to
recognize
my
colleagues
and
thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
cooperation
in
moving
these
two
bills.
We
had
some
bills
last
week
as
well
too,
that
you
insisted
had
assisted
me
with
moving.
This
is
the
south
side
signal
project
which
is
18th
street,
which
will
create
new
intersections
and
new
traffic
signals
at
sarah
jane,
a
new
signal
at
josephine
street
mission
street
arlington,
avenue
and
amanda.
O
It
is
largely
federal
and
penndot
dollars,
but
there
is
a
small
local
match
which
this
council
passed,
probably
even
as
long
as
three
years
ago.
So
this
has
been
in
the
works
for
quite
some
time.
It
will
go
out
for
bid
very
soon
and
we
believe
that
construction
can
begin
in
early
spring
of
2022.
So
it's
just
a
really
exciting
time
for
this
project,
and
I
really
appreciate
my
colleagues
support
in
moving
these
bills
today.
Thank
you.
L
I
just
wanted
to
compliment
councilman
krauss
with
all
the
infrastructure.
That's
going
on,
whether
it's
in
the
south
side
or
up
on
the
hill.
You
know
I'm
really
impressed
and
quite
jealous
to
some
degree.
You
know
even.
L
Some
of
the
credit
for
the
public
works,
but
but
no
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
You
know
it
seems
like
every
week
something's
going
on
there
in
the
good
and
infrastructure
way.
O
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilman.
The
the
the
carson
street
project
now
from
smithfield
to
33rd
street
is
about
10
years
in
the
making
it's
an
18
million
dollar
project.
That's
presently
under
construction
now,
and
it's
designed
to
improve
safety
on
east
carson,
regardless
of
whether
it
is
vehicular,
pedestrian
bike
or
public
transit.
It's
a
massive
massive
project
underway
now,
and
this
will
be
sort
of
phase
two
of
it.
If
you
will,
that
will
complete
that
that
second
busiest
street
heading
out
of
the
south
side,
which
is
18th
street.
So
thank
you
for
your
compliments
councilman.
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
bill
is
recommended,
takes
us
to
our
deferred
paper
bill
1648.
F
No,
I
don't.
May
I
I'll
just
say
thank
you
for
allowing
the
one
we
called
councilman
coghill
and
I
was
able
to
talk
to
the
the
ballet
and
members
will
see
that
the
lease
is
attached
to
the
bill,
which
is
actually
what
was
requested
the
last
time.
This
topic
was
in
front
of
us
that
we'd
be
able
to
kind
of
see
the
lease
at
the
time
of
voting
and
not
just
authorize
a
lease
agreement.
So
it's
here
it's
in
the
public
record.
F
So
it
has
historic
import.
It's
a
very
underutilized
and
improved
very
small
park
and
has
been
mostly
leased
to
the
ballet
half
of
the
half
of
the
block
is
fleece
to
the
belly
just
for
parking,
and
that
would
continue
under
the
sleeve.
Sadly.
But
just
just
wanted
to
note
that,
for
historic
sake,.

A
Q
A
P
Motion
to
approve
discussion.
P
Chair
I'd
like
to
ask
director
kinter
to
okay,
hi
director
good
afternoon,
I
wanted
to
just
you
know,
highlight:
what's
going
on
here,
also
ask
some
questions,
so
this
is
a
a
pilot
program
with
construction
junction,
where
I
believe
we're.
Is
this
going
to
coincide
with
demolition
or
are
we?
W
Sure
so
deconstruction
is
a
demolition
process
where
you
take
out
elements
of
a
structure
in
the
opposite
order
that
they
were
installed.
So,
for
example,
you
would
remove
bathroom
fixtures,
cabinetry
tiling,
demolish
wall
enclosures,
with
the
intent
of
removing
framing
elements
for
reuse,
so
considering
the
cost
of
construction
materials.
These
days
that
could
potentially
be
profitable.
W
W
Contractors
are
doing
more
labor-intensive
work
to
hand
demolish
so
that
you
can
save
those
elements,
but
there's
also
a
decrease
in
cost
in
terms
of
items
going
to
the
landfill
and,
of
course,
this
program
is
important
for
reducing
waste.
That
would
otherwise
go
to
the
landfill,
and
so
you
know
we're
we're
using
this
pilot
program
to
work
with
an
expert
construction
junction
to
fulfill
reporting
requirements
and
really
get
an
understanding
of
how
this
can
work.
When
we
demolish
a
structure,
that's
eligible
for
reconstruction.
W
Yeah,
so
that's
actually
part
of
this
pilot
program.
Not
every
structure
is
eligible
for
deconstruction.
W
They
not
all
structures,
have
useful
materials
left
inside
and
even
structures
that
may
appear
to
have
useful
materials
like
brick,
there's
different
qualities
of
brick,
so
we're
working
with
construction
junction
to
help
build
a
checklist
that
would
be
integrated
into
our
condemned
building
reviews
that
would
help
inspectors
identify
elements
of
a
structure
that
would
be
appropriately
reused
and
as
those
condemned
buildings
come.
You
know
up
for
demolition.
W
P
Okay,
do
you
view
this
or
in
in
this,
in
this
plan,
like
I'm
envisioning,
if
there
was
one
house
that
had
a
lot
of
items
in
it,
you
would
go
after
that,
but
there
was
one
you
know
say
there
was
only
one
wooden
floor
tongue
and
groove
that
we
could
still
save
in
the
structure.
Would
you
go
out
for
just
one
floor
and
do
this
or
you
know,
are
we
trying
to
do
the
whole
as
much
we
can
in
one
structure?
P
W
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question.
Initially,
our
interest
is
to
select
structures
that
have
the
most
amount
of
elements
that
are
worth
saving.
In
addition,
our
ability
to
inspect
the
interior
of
structures
is
pretty
limited.
So
we're
really
taking
a
look
at
the
exterior
and
saying
you
know
what
do
we
know
about
the
the
history
of
this
when
it
was
built?
What
kind
of
exterior
mason
area
it
has
that
we
would
want
to
take?
W
And
then
you
know
try
to
discern
some,
maybe
additional
structural
elements
that
we'd
want
to
get
as
well,
but
it
we
likely
in
this
pilot,
wouldn't
be
trying
to
identify.
You
know,
objects
that
were
maybe
that
small.
P
Okay,
all
right-
and
this
would
just
pertain
to
demo
that
will
be
under
cdbg
and
not
pay
go
for
emergency.
W
Correct
this
would
only
be
eligible
for
structures
that
went
through
an
asbestos
survey
and
are
on
the
cdbg
demolition
list.
L
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
being
here,
director
kinter
and
thank
you,
for
you
know
continual
discussions
with
me
about
you
know
privately
owned,
condemned
to
buildings
as
well.
As
you
know,
city
structures
seems
to
me.
You
know
I
have
more
privately
owned
that
are
just
in
a
wasteland
and
people
have
not
tended
to
them
for
10
15
years.
L
I
love
the
idea.
You
know,
especially
with
the
price
of
lumber,
aluminum
steel.
You
know
repurposing
a
lot
of
this,
because
even
a
building
in
its
worst
condition
falling
down,
typically
there's
still
a
lot
that
can
be
salvaged
there.
I
do
it
myself
in
many
ways,
but
let
me
just
get
this
straight
though
so
construction
junction
will
get
these.
W
So,
under
this
current
agreement,
there
is
no
revenue
that
would
be
generated
from
construction
junction.
Instead,
they
would
be
providing
all
the
sort
of
basics
that
we
need
to
do
this
in
a
in
a
different
way
after
the
pilot.
So
we
we've
never
done
deconstruction
in
this
manner.
So
our
hope
is
that
we
learn
a
lot
and
can
adopt
a
procurement
process
or
go
through
a
procurement
process
to
get
vendors
to
be
part
of
deconstruction
in
the
future,
where
they
would
receive
revenues
for
materials
that
were
resold.
W
So
that
is
a
long-term
goal
in
the
short
term,
we
need
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
this
process
and
we're
also
relying
on
construction
junction
to
you
know,
provide
the
city
with
reports
on
the
materials
saved
and
reused
the
amounts
of
those
tracking
those
in
terms
of
revenue
generated
if
any
and
dealing
with
the
process
of
of
salvaging.
You
know
a
lot
of
these
items
after
they're
diverted
into
a
dumpster
then
need
to
be
cleaned
and
sorted
so
sort
of
doing
all
the
manual
labor.
W
That's
attached
to
that
and
calculating
you
know
that
sort
of
the
life
cycle
of
those
materials.
So
we
have
an
idea
of
the
you
know
the
use
of
the
program.
L
Right,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
at
is:
we
are
paying
we're
going
to
be
paying
somebody
to
deconstruct
these
homes
and
that
will
be
labor
intensive,
much
more
so
than
taking
a
wrecking
ball
to
it.
Construction
junction
is
going
to
come
and
take
what
they
feel
they
can
salvage,
but
they're
not
going
to
pay
us.
W
Right
so
at
this
time,
and
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
that
process
is
going
to
look
like
initially,
we
already
have
pre-qualified
demolition
contractors
that
have
appropriate
licensure
that
perform
demolitions
on
behalf
of
the
city
or
for
the
city,
so
we
would
be
using
those
pre-qualified
vendors
to
simply
divert
materials
that
are
that
can
actually
be
reused
into
dumpsters
supplied
by
construction
junction
for
them
to
then
take
sort,
clean
process
etc,
and
do
the
labor
that's
required
with
that.
W
I
think
that
there
are
revenues
that
can
be
gained
in
the
future
from
these
materials,
but
there's
also
costs
associated
with
doing
deconstruction
and
processing
those
materials
and
cleaning
them,
and
you
know
appropriately
getting
them
into
the
pipeline
for
resale.
So
I
think,
while
construction
junction
is
not
paying
us
for
those
materials,
we're
not
paying
construction
junction
for
that
work,
scope.
L
But
it
is
costing
us
on
the
labor
end
when
we
hire
the
people
to
come
in
and
deconstruct.
You
know
it's
going
to
take
longer
and
it's
going
to
be
more
labor-intensive,
but
I'm
okay
with
that,
I'm
okay,
with
that,
I
like
seeing
you
know
the
material
you
know
reused
in
an
appropriate
manner.
But
let
me
just
ask
you
this:
it's
not
a
curiosity!
So
a
lot
of
these
older
places
have
copper,
flashings,
copper
pipes
in
some
cases
thousands
of
dollars
in
scrap
metal.
You
know
what
happens
to
the
scrap
metal.
W
Yeah,
so
construction
junction
does
have
vendors
and
partners
that
they
work
with
to
clean
materials
and
put
them
in
reuse.
But
our
you
know,
the
purpose
of
this
program
is
to
keep
items
construction
items
out
of
the
landfill
and
back
into
productive
use.
So
what
would
happen
to
them?
They
would
be
resold,
they'd
be
reused
in
some
other
development
or
construction.
That's
happening,
hopefully
in
the
city.
L
L
So
it's
really
profitable,
it
can
be
profitable
for
them.
I
mean
because
they're
going
to
resell
it
right.
I
mean
the
material
of
course
they're
going
to
scrap
the
metal
most
of
it
and
they're
going
to
resell
the
material.
I
haven't.
I've
never
shopped
there.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
the
the
prices
are
like
really
great
or
not,
but
I
know
one
thing
I'll
go
anywhere
for
secondhand
lumber
right
now
it
is
through
the
roof.
L
U
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
enthusiastic
I
am
for
this
program.
I
know
it's
a
pilot.
I
know
it's
starting
small,
but
it's
one
of
those
examples
of
a
program
that
is,
it
looks
small
on
the
outside,
but
so
much
I
saw
the
behind
the
scenes
happen
and
so
much
went
into
it.
So
much
kind
of
holistic
thinking
around
all
the
partners
and
all
the
different
entities
of
the
city
that
have
to
be
a
part
of
this
process.
It
really
is.
U
It
was
a
lot
of
cutting
through
red
tape
from
my
understanding
to
get
to
this
point
today.
So
I
want
to
give
credit
to
director
kinter
alicia,
carberry
hirschmarenstein,
who
I
know
worked
on
it
and
and
I'm
sure
many
others,
I'm
I'm
missing,
who
you
know
were
because
of
my
interest
in
the
circular
economy
and
keeping
things
out
of
landfills
and
also
the
lead
demolition
issues
that
we
want
to
try
to
avoid.
U
You
know
for
lead
paint,
briefed
me
on
this
and
I'm
just
I'm
very
enthusiastic
about
this,
seeing
the
metrics
that
come
out
of
it
and
and
seeing
how
we
can
scale
it
up
in
the
future
with
more
with
more
funding.
Thank
you.
F
You
so
director-
I
don't
I
didn't
hear,
but
I
might
have
missed
what
the
kind
of
current
demolition
costs
are
we're
talking
about
this.
This
is
just
the
city,
doing
a
demolition,
not
someone
pulling
their
own
demolition
permit
and
and
pulling
down
a
building
that
they
own,
which
I
think
we've
see
too
much
of,
but
that's
a
different
topic,
and
so
this
is
just
when
the
city
is
taking
down
one
of
its
own
structures:
right,
okay,
so
yes
and
then
so
we
know
what
the
cost
is,
that
we've
been
paying
for
demolition.
W
Yeah,
yes,
thanks
for
bringing
it
up
just
make
sure
everyone's
on
the
same
page,
this
pilot
would
only
be
the
demolition
of
city
owned
structures.
So
it's
a
pretty
narrow
pilot
and
the
average
cost
thereabouts
is
about
45
to
50k
to
do
a
demolition
on
a
single
family
structure.
W
F
Well,
there
are
benefits
right,
there
are
definitely
benefits
and
I
am
also
supportive
of
those
benefits,
but
I
think
I
said
this
before
which
it,
but
I
want
to
repeat,
is
how
many
this
is
the
question.
First,
how
many
properties
are
city
owned
and
condemned
right
now?
I
think
you
have
304
300
300.,
wouldn't
it
be
great
if
no
new
city-owned
structures
are
condemned
and
just
we
could
work
that
number
down
and
we
don't
keep
adding
and
bringing
it
back
out.
W
It
might
be
great,
I
would
absolutely
support
reducing
the
condemned
property
list.
We
have
1900
condemned
properties
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
you
know
pli's
role
is
to
ensure
that
we're
demolishing
the
unsafe
structures
on
that
list.
A
reduction
of
that
and
more
properties
back
into
productive
use
is
absolutely
something.
Pli
supports
right.
F
W
Not
great
at
mental
math,
but
I
will
say
that
not
all
city-owned
condemned
structures
are.
F
Great,
I
would
love
to
see.
I
would
love
to
to
be
involved
with
conversations
about
how
to
secure
more
of
the
300
currently
condemned
city
owned
so
that
they
don't
get
to
this
place
of
needing
to
be
taken
down
and
then
also
outside
of
the
currently
condemned
300,
preventing
even
more
just
starting
with
the
city-owned
structures
that
aren't
condemned
preventing
any
of
those
from
getting
onto
your
list.
W
F
O
O
Director,
love,
love,
love,
love,
love,
the
idea.
I
applaud
you
for
your
effort.
I
believe
alicia
carberry
might
have
had
a
little
bit
of
to
help
in
this
as
as
well,
I
want
to
recognize
her
always
sort
of
you
know
forward
thinking,
and
I
applaud
you
for
the
efforts
here.
The
not
every
structure
needs
to
have
the
wrecking
ball
come
after
it
and
just
take
it
down
in
its
totality
there.
You
know
councilman
gross
myself.
O
Many
members
of
council
are
adamant
about
our
our
passion
about
preservation
and
it
doesn't
limit
itself
just
to
the
exteriors
of
structures
inside
some
of
these
homes
are
amazing
product
that
absolutely
deserves
to
be
to
be
reclaimed
and
to
be
to
be
reused
and
councilman.
Congo.
Again,
if
you
ever
want
to
go
to
construction
junction,
I'm
telling
you
you
would
you
would
be
a
kid
at
kennywood.
I
O
O
I
think
it
it
more
than
balances
itself
out
by
the
the
the
the
our
commitment
to
saving
that
that
is
savable,
and
we
should
do
that
and
I
hope
to
see
this
extended
far
beyond
a
one-year
pilot
and
if
you
need
help
doing
that,
please
let
us
know.
I
certainly
would
be
one
in
favor
of
supporting
that.
So,
thanks
for
being
here.
Q
Me,
okay,
I
couldn't
hear
you
called
I'm
sorry,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
director
kinter,
because
you
know
demo
is
so
important
to
the
districts,
at
least
of
councilman,
coghill,
krauss
and
myself,
so
much
so
that
we
advocated
and
held
out
for
a
demo
for
our
districts,
because
we
know
that
what
you
can
do
would
be
amazing,
but
you
mentioned
the
cost
being
so
so
tremendous.
Q
But
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
your
work,
and
also
hersh
and
alicia,
because
they
are
really
really
hard
workers
in
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
who
don't
get
a
lot
of
recognition.
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
their
work
and
thank
them.
But
I
also
want
to
mention
that
when
we
talk
about
instead
of
demo
as
options
to
renovate
homes,
instead
of
demolishing
them
richard
snipe
at
the
ura
at
pennsylvania,
housing
development
corporation,
they
are
they're
doing
amazing
work
and
they're
doing
work.
Q
A
combination
I
mentioned,
we're
doing
a
combination,
our
district
of
demo
and
renovations.
He
is
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
sheridan,
crafton
heights
and
alley
in
chartres
just
a
lot
of
different
neighborhoods,
and
he
would
do
so
much
more
had
he
had
more
money.
So
when
we
talk
about
allocating
funding
and
to
stop
demo,
we
might
want
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
help
richard
snyde
at
the
phdc.
A
L
Okay,
thank
you
director,
kinter.
Oh
there
there
you
are
okay,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
I
heard
this
right.
This
is
not
when
you
talk
about
construction.

in
you
know,

W
L
W
L
Okay,
good
good-
and
I
I
couldn't
remember
to
slow
the
councilwoman
gross's
new
slogan
with
the
roof,
but
you
know
it
all
starts
with
the
roof.
All
these
projects
you
know,
and
I'm
I'm
for
repurposing
or
saving
projects
that
you
know
are
not
falling
to
pieces,
but
you
put
the
roof
on
it
and
that
will
save
it
for
at
least
some
years
to
come,
but
but
so
so
it
all
starts
with
the
roof
and
I'm
not
just
plugging
it,
because
I'm
in
the
industry.
So
thank
you.
S
B

Q
Thank
you

I
just
want
to
say
that
we

S
S
I
want
to
thank,
certainly
all
members,
but
in
particular
I
want
to
thank
our
president,
who
has
led
us,
through
this
process,
with
almost
constant
sometime
hourly
communication
of
of
of
of
helping
us
and
leading
us
also
and
councilman
lavelle,
and
your
role
of
finance,
chair
of
actually
shepherding
line
items
through
the
budgetary
process.
S
The
public
does
not
know
how
intricately
involved,
both
of
you
were
in
the
creation
and
the
implementation
of
this,
of
the
spending
plan
for
the
arp
and
that
we
are
proud
of
it
and
we
do
believe
it
puts
equity
first,
I
do.
Lastly,
I
pledge
to
work
with
the
president
and
to
continue
I
agree
with
erica.
I
actually
passed
the
legislation
that
called
for
more
exposure
to
the
capital
budget
back
in
the
day,
so
I
do
believe
an
ongoing
conversation.
S
I
do
want
to
suggest,
though
there
are
two
things
as
we
have
this
ongoing
conversation.
I
think
we
should
always
have
it
right,
but
I
think
there's
two
things
the
public
should
understand.
I
think
one
is
public.
Engagement
means
we
listen,
we
communicate
we
discuss,
but
the
public
must
understand
that
the
final
decision
is
not
the
public's
to
make
it
is
councils
to
make.
We
represent
individually,
30
000
people
every
day
at
all
times,
and
by
group
we
represent
the
entire
city
and
the
book
stops
here.
S
We
want
to
get
all
of
their
ideas
and
there
are
a
variety
of
leverage
that
we
can
pull
outside
of
the
of
the
arp
money
from
budget
to
the
capital
budget,
to
foundation
community
to
business
community
to
get
some
of
their
ideas
funded,
and
so,
as
we
move
forward
with
community
engagement.
I
just
hope
that
the
the
public
understands
that
our
engagement
is
to
listen,
but
that
no
no
one
group
represent
the
entire
city.
S
The
way
we
do
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
after
we
listen-
and
I
say
this
in
church,
so
I'll
use
my-
I
don't
usually
use
a
church
analogy,
but
I
will
today
I've
been
a
pastor
of
church
for
30
37
years
same
church,
and
I
tell
the
members
of
the
church
you
know
and
we
are
baptists,
so
we
have
a
democratic
process
at
the
end
of
the
day.
I
do
work
for
them.
I
do
serve
them
and
they
can
make
decisions,
but
they
are
not
my
boss.
S
I
answer
to
a
higher
power
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
will
do
what
I
believe
that
power
leads
me
to
do,
and
so
I
I
if
I
do
that
in
church,
I
do
that
all
for
all
factors
of
my
life,
I'll,
listen,
I'll,
negotiate
I'll
I'll.
You
know
I'll
do
all
that,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
answer
to
a
higher
power,
and
I
will
do
as
that
spirit
leads
me
to
do
so
again.
S
Madam
president,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
leadership
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
in
a
very
small
way,
to
serve
you
and
to
serve
this
city
and
again,
as
councilman
cross
said
earlier,
I
am
very
proud
of
our
council.
We
are
a
united
council
moving
forward
to
provide
leadership
both
now
and
in
the
future.
For
this
city.
Q
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
council
members
and
I
especially
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
reverend
burgess
as
a
and
councilman
krauss
and
councilman
lavelle
have
really
mentored
me
a
lot
through
this
whole
process
and
we're
there
anytime.
I
had
some
questions,
but
I
want
to
say
that
it's
council
I've
said
this.
Q
I
met
with
members
over
the
past
few
months
and
just
saying
that
the
power
council
has
is
in
the
budget
and
if
we
want
to
to
be
a
have
a
say
in
the
city,
if
we
want
to
lead
this
city,
if
we
want
to
do
what
we
were
elected
to
do,
we
have
to
stand
more
united
and
working
together
for
the
betterment
of
our
city
and
to
shut
and
to
show
the
strength
of
council,
and
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
have
the
strength
working
with
an
administration
that
has
that
we
can
work
together
on
some
shared
agendas
and
we
can
work
together
with
some
differing
opinions.
Q
I
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
do
that,
especially
now
during
such
a
transition
and
normally
during
a
transition
in
terms
of
leadership.
But
as
we
come
out
of
the
you
know,
the
pandemic
and
a
lot
of
people
are
struggling
and
looking
to
counsel,
to
hold
the
city
together
and
to
do
what
we
think
is
right
know
what
is
right
or
hope
that
is
right
and-
and
I
think
that
we've
done
that
I
just
want
to.
Q
Thank
you
all,
because,
even
though
there
are
some
that
disagree
from
time
to
time
on
different
issues,
I
learn
a
lot
from
a
lot
of
them
and
I
do
learn
a
lot
from
the
women
on
council
as
well,
and-
and
I
know
that
every
one
of
you
come
from
a
place
that
you're
representing
a
group
of
people
where
you're
coming
from
a
place
where
you're
trying
to
do
desperately
do
what
is
right,
for,
in
your
view,
your
opinion
and
in
your
heart.
Q
And
so
I
want
to
thank
you
all,
because
you
just
some
of
the
most
amazing
people
I've
ever
worked
with.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your.
For
your
help-
and
I
think,
as
I
mentioned
before,
the
clerk's
office,
the
budget
offices,
the
mayor's
office
and
and
our
inp
and
sergeant-at-arms
everybody
who
puts
on
these
meetings
every
week,
but
I
think
the
leadership
of
council
has
been
really
amazing
to
work
with,
because
I'm
learning
a
lot
myself
as
we
go.
