A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
standing
committee
meeting
for
wednesday
october
26
2021.,
we
also
will
be
meeting
in
a
hybrid
format
until
further
notice.
We
encourage
speakers
to
continue,
registering
and
speaking
virtually
as
there
will
be
a
limited
number
of
seats
available
in
our
council
chambers.
Our
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment
now
we'd
like
to
remind
all
speakers
of
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
may
be
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted.
A
C
C
C
We
are
intending
to
maximize
good
information
verified
by
three
different
sources
and
minimize
bad
intelligence
avoided
by
ideological
assumptions.
All
my
pc
control
items
are
documented
in
the
public
record
2010
to
2020
concern
of
pittsburgh
council.
The
politically
democratic
party
dominated
city
council
on
is
power,
the
political
control
of
the
actions
of
one
individual
or
institution
of
another.
C
We
usually
say
yes
to
the
exercise
of
power
by
elected
officials
when
use
of
office
conforms
to
office
norms
like
choosing
the
best
qualified
people,
regardless
of
race,
ethnicity
or
sex,
gender
identity.
We
not
unusually
say
no
when
abuse
does
not
conform
to
those
norms
like
choosing
people
based
on
race,
ethnicity,
sex,
gen
or
party
affiliation.
This
is
corruption.
C
What
will
happen
on
november,
the
2nd
my
participation
in
public
affairs
in
in
or
out
of
office
regardless
of
november?
The
second
is
to
maximize
choice
and
minimize
coercion,
echoing
citizen
naomi
mullen
to
gain
and
or
regain,
control
of
as
much
government
for
the
people
of
pittsburgh,
pennsylvania
and
the
united
states.
C
One
control
of
our
vote
votes
getting
a
paper
copy
or
receipt
of
our
individual
vote.
For
some
of
us.
That
may
mean
non-dp,
dp
rp
candidates.
You
may
need
to
write
us
in
to
control
of
citizen
speech.
Securing
speech
in
public
comment.
C
At
local
government
meetings
from
censorship
like
this
absurd
anti-profanity,
non-rule
non-list,
that
is
continually
offered
by
mr
lavelle
and
by
miss,
kill
smith
and
anybody
else,
who's
in
charge,
and,
secondly,
sequestering
speech
into
new
public
free
speech
zones,
control
of
an
individual's
sex,
gen
identity
control,
a
pre-university
education
by
creating
an
alternative
to
the
pittsburgh
public
schools
with
nine
separate
districts
that
are
headed
by
counselors
control
of
pittsburgh,
political
empowerment
by
funding
native
american,
latin
asian
european
and
not
just
black
african-american
pittsburgh.

But
fellowship
what
the
joy
divine
that's
what
we
do
in
church
lean
whenever
there's
a
pause
it'll
be
struck
over
him.
A
B
A
pleasure
to
be
back
again
well,
my
name
is
les
ludwig
6589
rosemary
street
in
squirrel
hill.
I've
been
a
candidate
for
mayor
three
times
and
you'll,
say
well
geez.
What
the
hell
brings
you
back
this
time.
Simply
the
fact
that
there's
a
tremendous
need
and
it's
not
becoming
to
be
met
by
any
of
the
other
candidates.
B
Money
that
comes
not
from
taxes
so
that
a
mayor
can
do
some
good
by
taking
that
money
and
applying
it
where
the
problems
of
this
city
are,
and
you
know
where
those
problems
are.
I
was
part
of
those
problems
for
20
years
as
a
businessman
at
1707,
bedford,
avenue,
the
august
wilson
block
of
the
city,
and
I
didn't
forget
what
I
saw
when
I
ended
up
and
moved
them
in
to
more
profitable
ways
of
living.
B
B
B
Then,
of
course
we
have
the
parkway
west
with
35
containers,
trucks
and
cars
parked
forever,
not
moving
who's
paying
for
it,
the
taxpayer
that's
who's
paying
for
it,
and
we
need
a
new
type
of
leadership
in
this
city,
and
I
intend
to
be
to
do
just
that.
I
thank
you
for
your
attention
and
I'll
be
back
monday
with
more.
A
E
Good
morning,
can
you
hear
me
now
yeah,
okay,
thank
you,
dr
ronald
miller,
for
your
support
of
bonaire
shady
trees.
Not
shady
deals
in
monair,
the
pennsylvania
state
constitution
says
all
power
is
inherent
in
the
people,
and
all
free
governments
are
founded
on
their
authority
and
instituted
their
peace,
safety
and
happiness.
E
E
His
response
about
the
parking
issue
at
the
building
is
that
the
mayor
is
not
going
to
require.
It
is
mayor
peduto,
his
best
buddy.
No
wonder
the
mayor
is
on
his
way
out.
Our
community
is
not
his
to
make
and
mold
to
his
will.
We,
the
people
of
bonaire,
do
not
consent
to
this
threat
to
our
peace,
safety
and
happiness.
E
Significant
community
concern
has
been
expressed
to
the
board
of
education
and
city
council
all
these
months.
Since
the
announcement
of
the
sales
agreement
for
bonaire
school,
perhaps
there
is
a
neighborhood
busting
plan
afoot,
blockbusting
is
illegal.
Is
there
any
lobbying
or
unregistered
lobbying
taking
place?
Are
any
special
friends
of
bill
peduto
involved
in
this
non-compliant
sale?
E
My
sincere
consistent
request
is
that
city
council
create
a
resolution
to
block
zoning
change
and
support
a
green
space
to
replace
bonaire's
school
building.
Do
your
part
for
the
environment,
reduce
urban
heat,
reduce
watershed
to
route
51
increase
green
space
to
benefit
all
ages
and
stages,
protect
the
children
at
the
playground
across
the
street.
Let's
make
it
wheelchair
accessible
to
allow
those
who
have
difficult
access
to
nature
the
ability
to
enjoy
it,
tear
down
detrimental
problem
buildings,
not
safe,
stable
neighborhoods.
E
I
Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
william
parker
before
I
get
started
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
the
lives
that
were
stolen
from
us
in
the
tragic
tree
of
life
shooting
three
years
ago,
and
I
want
the
jewish
community,
the
black
community
asian
community,
the
lgbtqia
community,
all
communities
to
know
that
I
stand
with
them
against
hate
racism
and
all
forms
of
discrimination.
I
Okay,
my
public
comment
today
has
to
deal
with
the
grocery
store
up
there
on
the
hill
district
and
in
helmand
plaza.
I
just
found
out
yesterday
that
there
was
no
rfp
put
out
by
the
ura.
I
I
spoke
with
greg
fishrom
from
the
ura.
He
told
me
that
there
was
a
public
rfp
put
out.
I
looked
on
a
website.
I
looked
through
other
social
sites.
There
wasn't
one
put
out
lavelle.
You
told
me
that
there
was
an
rfp
put
out
there
wasn't
one
put
out
the
hill
district,
cdc,
cdc,
told
me:
there
was
one
put
out
there
wasn't
one
put
out,
and
I
think
that
the
hill
district
should
be
outraged.
Knowing
this
they
had
no
opportunity
to
submit
their
proposals.
I
I
I
A
K
I
speak
about
kaylee
roy
irvis,
well
gloria
harbin,
who
was
his
main
assistant,
who
gave
me
one
year.
I
came
down
with
a
gaff
gavel
and
I
told
the
children,
because
the
children
do
watch
this
program,
that
this
was
the
gavel
that
kb
were
ervis
used
whenever
he
held
the
meetings.
This
was
here
in
pittsburgh.
Now
she
had
another
gavel,
but
he
used
that
in
harrisburg
when
he
was
up
there.
K
K
A
couple
days
ago
we
have
carol
reynolds.
She
also
passed.
That
was
a
lady
that
would
have
you
laugh
and
she
was
a
very
nice
person
and
I
wanted
to
bring
out
about
hannah.
Burks
anna
burks
lived
there
304
in
the
building.
K
Anna
was
a
cna
and
she
would
take
care
of
all
the
people
in
the
building.
When
I
found
out
that
she
had
fell
robin
came
and
said
she's
laying
on
the
floor,
we
were
able
to
take,
I
said,
pull
the
string.
I
know
that'll
go
for
them
to
come
and
get
her
well
when
they
took
her
and
she
came
back.
She
couldn't
talk,
but
I
found
out.
I
didn't
know
it
was
that
bad
because
she
came
home
to
die.
She
knew
she
was
dying
and
she
wanted
to
come
home.
Well
in
our
building.
K
We
have
reverend
brumson,
he
started
a
church
and
I
found
out
that
he
had
came.
She
couldn't
talk
when
she
seen
him.
She
was
waving
and
smiling,
and
I,
when
I
went
to
her
funeral,
I
thanked
the
reverend
because,
when
I
saw
her
I
started
crying,
I
couldn't
pray
with
her.
I
do
believe
that
you're
in
time
you
should
have
someone
of
faith,
someone
that
is
praying
for
you
to
help
you
get
up
to
the
top.
K
I
truly
want
to
tell
you
that
we
have
a
lot
of
older
people
out
there
that
you
don't
seem
to
care
about,
but
I'm
going
to
keep
coming
every
week
that
I
can
possibly
come
to
tell
you
to
remind
you,
we're
up
there
and
katie
wherever
see
what
I
want
you
to
understand
these
old
politicians,
new
kb
roy
ervis,
and
they
would
fight
for
him,
you
younger
ones.
You
might
have
heard
of
him.
You
might
even
seen
him,
but
I've
talked
to
this
man
and
this
man
fought
for
that
building.
A

O
O
O
I'm
supposed
to
be
here
so
we
were
able
to
work
with
usda
in
order
to
come
up
with
a
plan
in
order
to
do
community
composting
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
The
first
year
is
going
to
be
focused
primarily
on
a
feasibility
study
so
that
we
can
look
into
seeing
if
it's
even
a
possibility
for
us.
O
In
order
to
do
it,
we
don't
foresee
us
being
able
to
do
curbside
solution
within
the
near
future.
So
we
want
to
figure
out
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
somehow
work
with
those
people
that
are
already
doing
composting
in
most
of
the
communities
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
fortify
the
work
that
they're
already
doing
so
that
people
can
actually
take
the
food
waste
that
they're
producing
and
either
do
some
sort
of
a
drop-off
service.
O
We're
also
including
education
into
part
of
that,
so
that
people
who
have
the
ability
to
do
backyard
composting
can
better
do
backyard
composting
and
we're
also
working
on
doing
an
additional
study
into
all
of
the
different
entities.
We're
working
with
the
university
of
pittsburgh
as
well
as
prc
during
that
first
year.
To
do
to
to
do
some
research
into
exactly
who's
processing,
waste
and
food
waste
in
our
and
the
pittsburgh
region,
and
actually
maybe
about
10
miles
outside
of
pittsburgh,
because
we
don't
exist
in
a
vacuum.
O
It's
one
of
the
first
times
we've
had
the
ability
to
to
do
this
type
of
focused
research
and
it
plays
into
our
zero
waste
plan
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
where
our
goal
is
to
be
zero
waste
by
2050
and
that's
pretty
much.
What
we're
doing.
Okay.
G
O
To
do
drop-off
composting
and
to
to
to
do
composting
and
as
well
in
their
backyards
and
we're
also
working
with
our
city
parks
and
our
farmers
markets
so
that
we
can
become
hopefully
get
our
farmers
markets
to
be
compost
ready
as
well,
so
that
we'll
have
zero
waste
from
our
farmers
markets
and
hopefully,
zero
waste
from
zero
waste
from
our
city
parks
and
our
our
city
parks
programs.
O
So
we
have
phillips
rec
center,
that's
participating
with
us
in
the
homewood
senior
center
that
will
be
participating
with
us
as
well,
and
we're
deploying
two
different
solutions.
We
have
a
solution
for
sort
of
a
traditional
composting
structure
infrastructure
at
philips
because
they
have
the
gardens
that
are
already
there.
They
already
have
the
students
that
are
there
and
we
have
the
support
team.
O
That's
there,
so
that
we
can
see
how
much
we
can
do
a
food
waste
study,
particularly
at
the
center,
to
see
how
much
food
is
is
being
is
being
thrown
away
after
they
have
after
they
serve
their
meals
and
how
much
we
are
able
to
divert
from
the
waste
stream
and
at
the
homewood
senior
center.
O
We're
doing
we're
researching
a
mechanical
system
that
we
can
use
so
that
hopefully,
for
the
same
reasons
so
that
we
can
hopefully
see
if
we
can
actually
take
all
of
the
the
food
waste
that's
produced
from
those
particular
programs
in
city
parks
out
of
the
waste
stream
completely.
So.
G
How
much
how
much
education
will
we
be
doing,
because
I've
had
many
failed
attempts
at
composting?
It's
good!
Well
yeah!
I
guess
I
mean
frankly
I
learned
that
the
worms
are
the
best
way
to
go
so
then
I
I
wasn't
going
to
go
that
far.
G
I
you
know
we
brought
it
to
a
point
where
it
was
in
our
er.
We
had
those
things
you
spin
around,
but
you're
saying
we
wouldn't
have
to
do
that.
We
could
just
drop
it
off.
O
It
depends
so
that's
part
of
that.
That's
part
of
that
year,
two
implementation
study
to
figure
out,
what's
gonna,
be
sort
of
the
right,
the
right
place
for
people
but
being
able
to
offer
those
options
and
to
make
them
available
and
a
in
a
platform
where
people
can
say.
Well,
you
know
I
don't
want
to
do
it
in
my
backyard.
Maybe
I
do
want
to
drop
off
but
have
a
resource
that
they
can
turn
to
say
hey.
O
These
are
all
the
places
that
I
can
go
to
drop
off
my
compost
but
say
I
do
have
a
backyard
and
I
do
want
to
compost.
How
do
I
go
about
doing
that?
That's
part
of
that
same
resource
where
they
can
say.
Oh
here's,
the
information
right
here.
This
is
how
I
go
about
doing
it,
and
these
are
some
of
the
organizations
that
can
help
me
get
that
done.
N
N
But
anyway,
since
then,
I've
learned
a
lot
about
this
from
this
subject
from
councilwoman
gross,
who
has
been
really
instrumental
in
raising
a
lot
of
awareness,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
shout
her
out
a
little
bit
for
making
this
council
more
aware
and
and
talk
about
a
lot
more,
although
councilman
wilson's,
starting
to
run
a
close
second
on
some
of
this
stuff,
I
know
something
about
that
north
side
with
animals
rodents
bugs
anyway.
N
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work,
but
I
thank
councilwoman
gross
and
make
sure
that
we
acknowledge
that
she
has
done
a
lot
of
work
in
this
area
and
has
been
advocating
for
the
city
to
do
more.
So
I
thank
you
for
your
work
too,
and
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Both.
P
Thank
you,
mr
chairs.
So
yes
thank
you,
councilman
smith.
I
I've
been
composting
for
30
years,
but
I
also
know
people
who
have
not
given
up
and
not
been
able
to
do
that
right.
P
In
like
my
20s
honestly,
because
I
was
in
north
carolina
and
the
soil,
there
was
all
clay
and
I
was
like
started
trying
to
garden
and,
like
you
can't
the
roots
can't
even
get
through
the
soil,
so
you
really
had
to
break
up
the
soil
so
but
yeah.
So
I
have
the
bin
things
in
my
backyard
in
highland
park,
but
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
so
much
of
what
you
were
saying
and
I'm
sorry
I've
just
blanked
out
on
your
name
again.
H
P
With
you
in
your
office
on
this,
I'm
really
enthusiastic
to
see
it.
Yes,
I
did
try
to
add
some,
like
30
000
to
the
capital
budget,
a
couple
of
times
at
council
to
start
these
kinds
of
composting
efforts
that
failed.
So
I'm
happy
to
see
this.
This
is
ninety
thousand
dollars,
I'm
very
enthusiastic
to
support,
and
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
also
for
listeners-
that
there
are
farmers
markets
that
you
can
already
do
this.
You
can
take
your
kitchen
scraps
and
my
constituents
do
it.
P
For
years
now
it's
been
happening
at
the
bloomfield
farmers
market,
I'm
not
sure
if
they
had
it
this
year,
but
I
know
that
the
lawrenceville
farmers
market
has
one
of
the
several
companies
now
that
take
your
kitchen
waste,
and
so
you
people
bring
their
kitchen
waste
to
the
farmers
market
to
donate
it.
You
can
also.
I
have
constituents
who
pay
these.
N
P
Different
services
that
will
come
to
your
house
pick
up
your
kitchen
waste
and
then
the
next
week
they
bring
you
back
like
beautiful
worm,
compost
and
take
your
kitchen
waste
again,
and
so
in
our
urban
soils
that
are
especially
high
with
lead.
It
is
not
safe
for
your
children
to
play
with
them,
though
burgess
councilman
british.
You
may
think
this
is
humorous,
but
it
is
a
terror.
It's
actually
one
of
our
critical
problems
that
we
just
had
a
press
conference
about
yesterday.
P
P
I
think
I'm
not
a
chemist
right,
but
it
kind
of
locks
the
lead
so
that
it
is
not
as
ingestible
for
the
kids,
and
it
is
one
of
the
critical
ways
to
bring
down
that
lead.
Contamination
in
your
soil
is
to
amend
it
to
bring
back
the
hummus
to
bring
back
the
that's
what
they
call
it
to
bring
back
the
live
biological
activities
in
the
soil.
P
So
there
are
many
many
benefits.
I
also
have
many
of
the
community
gardens
that
I
support.
We
actually
used
our
city
farms
dollars
to
get
them
compost
bins,
so
that
the
farmers
could
bring
their
kitchen
waste
and
be
composting
at
their
community
garden
site,
so
we'd
love
to
have
those
in,
and
I
think
kelsey's
been
working
with
you
on
that.
So
it
is
soil,
in
fact,
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
obviously
need
to
raise.
P
Our
awareness
at
city
council,
so
maybe
I'll
be
inviting
a
post
agenda,
I'm
going
to
reach
out
to
the
very
large
network
of
people,
doing
green
infrastructure
and
green
landscaping,
who
actually
have
had
an
entire
two-day
conference
on
urban
soils
that
I
attended
several
years
ago,
because
it
is
so
critically
important,
not
just
for
lead
contamination,
not
just
for
growing
food,
but
also
for
storm
water
remediation.
P
If
you
have
compacted
non-active,
you
know
soil,
I'm
not
using
all
the
technically
correct
words.
You
get
water
runoff
at
a
tremendously
higher
rate
right
so
to
slow.
For
so
many
reasons,
it's
an
important
policy
topic
and.
O
M
Thank
you
very
interesting
conversation
very
interesting.
I'm
just
curious
that
as
this
progresses
could
there
or
would
there
possibly
be
attempts
to
educate
food
service,
commercial
food
services.
O
Yeah,
actually
we're
already
doing
that,
so
we
have
a
grant
through
nrdc
food
matters
where
we're
actually
already
working
with
restaurants,
and
actually
this
is
a
good
plug
for
for
our
community
food
service
month,
which
is
actually
coming
up
in
november,
where
we're
working
with
a
number
of
restaurants.
In
order
to
try
to
reduce
the
amount
of
food,
that's
wasted,
as
well
as
help
them
triage
solutions
for
how
they
can
get
those
those
food
scraps
to
not
be
waste.
Basically,
some
of
them
is
food
recovery.
M
M
O
Well,
the
oils
are
usually
sort
of
processed
as
a
higher
use,
not
as
compost
but
actually
as
turned
into
biofuel.
That's
usually
where
the
the
oils
are
taken
in
and
they're
sort
of
cleaned
up
and
they're
able
to
be
to
be
generated
into
a
new
product,
and
then
the
coffee
grounds
are
they're,
usually
accepted
at
most
composting
situations.
O
I
know
that
sometimes
too
much
coffee
grounds
can
actually
make
the
soil
too
acidic,
but
but
in
general
it's
usually
accepted,
but
this
particular
study
is
a
little
bit
more
holistic
so
that
we
can
sort
of
create
that
that
resident
database,
so
that
they're
able
to
figure
out
where
they
can
take
their
things
on
either
residential
scale
or
a
small
commercial
scale.
So
that's
the
databases
that
some
of
the
information
that
we
should
be
able
to
come
with
after
that
first
year
study.
O
But
there
is
there's
a
lot
of
different
solutions,
including
biodigestion.
You
know-
and
it
just
all
depends
on
what
the
waste
is
after
it's
after
it's,
you
know,
served
its
initial
purpose.
Basically,
so
we
sort
of
have
a
hierarchy
of
waste
in
like
the
waste
industry.
Basically,
where
you
know
food
that
can
be
eaten
should
be
eaten,
and
then
you
know,
after
the
food
that's
been
eaten,
you
know
has
been
consumed.
O
Then
you
have
the
option
to
to
scrap
it,
to
make
compost
and
if
it's
not
compost
appropriate,
because,
depending
on
where
you're
composting,
they
don't
accept
everything
because
of
the
the
type
of
pile
that
they
might
be
sort
of
shepherding.
It
can
also
usually
be
used
sort
of
as
a
last
resort
as
as
biofuel,
basically,
which
is
turned
into
pretty
like
a
green
energy
resource.
O
Basically-
and
there
are
some
people
that
are
doing
some
biodigestion
in
our
region-
none
that
are
specifically
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
but
I
think
there
are
some
that
are
like
right
outside
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
that
are
doing
by
digestion.
O
Information
like
that
yeah,
certainly
all
that
information
is
in
some
way
shape
or
form
already
sort
of
existing
some
of
it's
actually
on
our
own
dpw
site.
For
our
you
know
our
own
dpwa
site.
We
have
sort
of
that
hierarchy
already
spelled
out
in
some
of
the
literature.
That's
there
online.
We
also
work
very
closely
with
pennsylvania
resource
council.
I
can't
think
what
their
name
is.
Sorry,
I'm
I'm
I'm
spacing
they're
in
they're
in
homewood
on
larmor,
oh
hamilton.
O
I
can't
think
what
the
name
is
right
now.
Sorry,
no,
no,
not
penn
state
extension.
They
do
some
really
good
work
with
that
too,
and
also
have
that
research,
oh
grounded,
they
used
to
be
grounded.
They
changed
their
name,
though,
and
I
can't
think
of
what
their
new
name
is
right
now,
but
there
are
a
number
of
organizations
that
are
sort
of
specialists
in
this
field,
and
all
of
them
do
have.
O
F
Thank
you.
I'm
really
enthusiastic
about
this
because
of
everything
that
we've
already
discussed
and
other
council
members
have
asked
about.
F
F
What
are
we
driving
toward?
I
mean
in
the
ideal
world?
Would
it
look
like
weekly
pickups
from
our
own
city,
environmental
services,
similar
to
waste
and
recycling?
Would
it
would
it
be
drop-off
centers?
Would
it
what
would
it
look
like
in
the
agile
world
if
we
could
work
through
all
the
sort
of
red
tape
and
bureaucracy
and
the
difficulties
of
that
come
with
this.
H
F
Would
it
what
would
the
ideal
situation
look
like?
I'm
just
curious
if
we
have
an
idea
or
if
we
don't
have
an
idea,
what
is
what
are
we
seeking
to
find
out
from
this
pilot
right.
O
So
there
is
the
ideal
situation
where
a
lot
of
residents
would
really
like
to
do
a
program
sort
of
like
maybe
new
york
and
some
of
the
other
larger
cities,
where
they're
able
to
have
a
green
bin.
Take
it
outside
and
put
it
on
the
curb
and
have
it
picked
up
every
week
or
every
other
week
like
they
do
recycling
your
waste.
That's
we
don't
foresee
that
being
a
reality
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
in
any
of
the
near
term.
Maybe
that's
maybe
like
a
20-year
plan
or
something
like
that.
O
But
what
can
we
do
right
now
and
what
we
hope
to
accomplish
at
the
end
of
this
is
to
actually
fortify
a
lot
of
the
organizations
that
are
already
doing
this
and
a
lot
of
the
entrepreneurs
that
are
already
working
in
this
space
and
making
sure
that
they're
able
to
reach
a
customer
base
so
that
they
can,
you
know,
move
a
lot
of
their
startups
and
and
and
being
able
to
offer
their
services
to
the
city
to
city
residents.
So
we
can
have
a
market-based
solution.
O
So
what
the
city,
what
we're
hoping
to
do
as
a
city,
is
to
help
the
community
organizations
that
are
already
doing
this
and
help
them
to
be
able
to
figure
out
if
they're
able
to
take
it
to
scale,
maybe
work
with
them
to
fix
some
of
the
kinks
that
are
maybe
happening
in
their
program
so
that
they
can
take
it
to
scale
so
that
people
don't
have
to
have
their
waste
trucked,
but
can
walk,
hopefully
down
the
street
if
they
can't
produce
it.
O
If
they
can't
transition
in
their
backyard,
doing
a
backyard
compost
solution,
or
they
don't
have
the
time
they
don't
have
the
means
they
can
sort
of
not
have
to
really
leave
their
community
in
order
to
be
able
to
drop
off
their
waste
and
have
that
processed.
O
Or
you
know,
if
they
do
have
the
means
they
can
have
somebody
come
and
pick
it
up
for
them.
So
we're
trying
to
create
a
solution
where
the
city
is
able
to
help
to
improve.
O
I
guess
the
marketability
and
look
at
compost
as
being
a
commodity,
basically,
so
that
businesses
are
able
to
grow
in
our
region,
and
people
are
able
to
to
to
build
better
soil
in
some
shape
or
form.
F
Okay,
so
like
a
fishing
net
sort
of
approach
where
there
are
a
lot
of
different
entities-
non-profit
for-profit,
the
city,
all
working
together
to
to
to
fill
the
gaps
and
capture
that
that's
great,
I
also
think
of
our
christmas
tree.
Recycling
or
drop-off
centers
is
a
huge
success.
It's
grown
over
the
years
to
allow
for
people
to
not,
as
you
say,
not
have
to
leave
their
neighborhood
to
be
able
to
drop
off
their
christmas
trees
and
have
them
turned
into
into
wood
chips.
F
That,
then,
are,
I
think,
both
used
by
the
city
but
also
available
for
the
public,
so
that
seems
like
a
great
model
as
well.
I
have
another
specific
question
and
then
just
a
final
comment.
My
specific
question
is
as
we're
working
to
cut
down
on
the
amount
of
plastic
that
is
produced
and
is
used,
a
lot
of
people
are
and
a
lot
of
businesses
are
turning
toward
compostable
items
that
should
be
able
to.
You
know,
be
composted
rather
than
thrown
away
and
added
to
our
landfills.
F
So
cutlery
plates,
you
know
and
if
we're
also
as
a
city
in
our
special
events
that
we're
hosting
or
going
towards
driving
towards
that
as
well,
so
we
can
make
our
our
own
events
that
we're
sponsoring
zero
waste.
You
know,
that's
probably
going
to
be
a
piece
of
this.
Does
this
pilot
take
that
into
consideration?
I
know
those
aren't
always
as
successful
as
people
think
because
they
get
this
and
then
they
find
out
later.
Those
things
are
not
actually
compostable
in
their
backyard.
F
O
No,
absolutely
so
we're
addressing
it
at
our
farmers
market,
specifically,
so
we'll
be
able
to
work
with
the
vendors.
So
we
have
actually
have
two
farmers
markets
that
are
already
city
sponsored
farmers,
markets
that
are
already
accepting
that
are
already
accepting
food
scraps
from
the
community
in
the
northside
farmers
market
and
the
east
liberty
farmers
market.
O
So
we're
working
specifically
with
those
farmers
markets
to
increase
those
efforts,
so
we'll
be
expanding
this
first
year,
working
with
the
food
vendors
that
are
specifically
at
those
farmers
markets
that
sell
sort
of
to
go
food
fast
food
in
order
to
with
working
with
this
particular
grant,
as
well
as
nrdc
and
in
order
to
figure
out
the
right
type
of
containers,
we'll
be
able
to
trial
a
couple
different
things
at
all
of
those
different
vendors
and
work
with
a
composter
to
be
determined.
O
So
that
we
can
identify
the
right
types
of
containers
that
will
be
able
to
be
accepted
and
processed
on
the
back
end
because,
as
you
said,
some
of
those
plastics
you
find
out
after
you
buy
them,
they're,
supposedly
compostable,
but
there's
actually
different
levels
of
compostable
materials
and
those
plastics
don't
really
break
down
that
well,
and
a
lot
of
them
have
to
be
commercially
composted
in
a
way
where
the
piles
get
hot
enough
in
order
to
break
down
those
plastics,
and
it
takes
a
lot
longer
to
do
it.
O
So
we
will
be
doing
an
evaluation
of
some
of
those
materials
and
working
with
actual
food
vendors
to
find
out.
You
know
the
appropriate
materials
that
work
for
them
and
that'll
also
be
part
of
what
part
of
the
resources
and
the
information
that
we
find
out
from
the
study
that
we
can
also
be
able
to
share
with
the
rest
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
we'll
know
what
works
in
terms
of
our
practicality
and
we'll
also
know
what
works
in
terms
of
being
able
to
break
down
in
those
compost
piles.
O
F
Terrific,
my
final
comment
no
need
to
respond
unless
you
have
you're
inspired
to
do
so,
but
I
this
is
a
great
example
of
the
circular
economy
that
we're
driving
towards
or
that
we
should
be
driving
towards
meaning.
You
know
everything
has
a
purpose,
and
it's
being
it's
actually
in
a
cycle
right,
so
nothing
is
wasted
and
we
are
reusing
and
recycling
as
much
as
humanly
possible
to
benefit
our
environment
and
to
create
jobs.
That
is
a
job
creator
has
sort
of
been
alluded
to
throughout
this
discussion.
F
So
for
those
who
continue
to
think
that
economy
and
jobs
is
at
opposition
to
our,
you
know,
protecting
our
environment
and
our
earth
that
this
is
a
great
example
of
one.
That
of
why
that
is
not
necessarily
true,
so
I'm
really
supportive.
I
am
grateful
to
to
you
afton
for
your
work
on
this
and
council
colleagues
for
for
supporting
this
and
I'll
continue
to
support
as
well.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Custom
burgess.
J
First
of
all,
after
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
your
work
and
you
are
from
where
homewood,
where
are
you
from.
J
So
I
am,
I
am.
I
am
proud,
both
as
your
friend
and
representing
your
family
in
this
effort.
J
J
J
I
walked
home
every
day
from
school
and
ate
lunch
at
my
house
and
then
went
back
to
school.
I
lived
in
a
different
time
my
my
my
there.
Actually
there
actually
were
families
in
homewood
that
had
horses
and
they
were
they
had
alternative
income
and
they
would
ride
their
horses
in
the
60s
dress
up
dressed
up
as
cowboys,
and
they
would
ride
horses
down.
Frankstown
came.
H
H
J
Now,
in
the
60s,
these
men
of
alternative
income
would
drive
horses,
ride,
horses
down,
homewood
avenue
and
frankstown
avenue
and
penn
avenue.
I
grew
up
with
this,
so
watch
be
careful
what
you
say:
there's
some
truth
in
it.
J
My
father
was
the
breadwinner
and
he
worked
a
regular
job
and
then
on
that
same
job
he
worked
overtime
every
day,
so
he
worked
somewhere
like
70
hours
a
week
to
take
care
of
us,
my
mother
and
that's
that's
the
part
that
made
me
was
amusing
to
me.
My
mother
would
not
allow
garbage
in
the
house
period
when
you
had
when
you
ate
food
every
night
the
garbage
had
to
go
out
and
back
in
those
days
we
had
the
metal
cans.
I'm
old.
J
J
My
father
was
a
fisherman,
an
avid
fisherman
fishing.
I
used
to
fish
as
a
up
until
my
20s
with
him
and
we
would
use
worms
right
because
you
mentioned
worms,
he
meant
the
worms,
but
my
mother
would
not
allow
worms
in
the
house.
J
J
It
must
be
on
this.
One
trust
me
on
this
one
this
this
this
ultra
modern
couple
from
homewood
composting
and
everything
above
it
would
be
so
foreign
to
their
to
their
sensibility,
and
so,
as
the
more
you
talk,
the
more
I
thought
about
my
parents
and
that
I
did
just
tickle
me
if
they
were
here
today
to
hear
this
conversation
with
their
reaction
would
be.
I
am
not
laughing
at
the
issue
because
the
issue's
right,
but
but
but
and
and
after
you
grew
up
homeless.
So
you,
you
know
the
kind
of
hope.
J
I
think
you
know
the
kind
of
families
I'm
talking
about
right
this.
This
would
that,
if
having
this
conversation
in
homewood
with
certain
families,
where
you
have
a
very
different,
although
they'll
be
very
kind
about
it
right,
the
reception
will
be
somewhat
curious
and
that's
what
tickled
me
the
more
I
thought
about
mommy
and
daddy
in
this
conversation,
the
more
it
tickled
me,
and
so
you
excuse
me
for
having
as
an
old
man
having
these
moments
of
reverence
for
my
parents
every
now
and
then
and
more
so
now
that
I've
gotten
older.
J
Now
so
I
mean
you
know
now
that
I'm
getting
older
they
they,
I
see
them
every
day
now
right
before
they
would
come
to
me
every
now
and
then
and
now
mommy
and
daddy
come
to
me
every
day
and
I
see
them
now
all
the
time
I
see
them.
I
see
me
and
my
children-
and
I
see
my
parents
in
me-
so
excuse
me
for
that
moment,
but
that's
that's
what
I
actually
was
thinking
that
I
figured
I'd
cheer
you.
A
O
I
I
love
the
conversation
if
I
can
add,
because
I
think
that
some
of
that
is
the
types
of
conversation
that
we're
going
to
have
to
have
in
order
to
have
people
really
be
on
board
with
doing
this,
and
that's
the
type
of
education
and
type
of
backgrounds
that
we're
going
to
have
to
take
into
consideration.
When
we're
having
those
conversations,
I
think
you
know,
maybe
we
might
be
able
to
convince
your
mom
that
this
might
be
a
really
good
idea.
O
If
you
know
she
was
able
to
have
a
little
container
to
put
her
food
scraps
in
and
then
every
day
you
know
her
kids,
take
it
to
the
backyard
and
took
it
outside,
which
means
that
there's
no
smell
in
the
house.
It
means
that
you
know
it
would
go
out
every
single
day.
It
would
go
to
a
higher
use
and
it
would
help
to
make
those
guard.
Those
greens
and
her
hothouse
grow
even
better
over
time.
D
You
afton
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
being
here.
You
know
you're
really
in
the
know
of
what
you
do.
You
seem
to
be
a
real
student
of
the
process
and
you
know
if
I
didn't
have
confidence
in
it
beforehand.
I
do
know
I'm
listening
to
you,
so
thank
you
so
so
you're
really
great.
I
knew
this
was
right
in
councilwoman,
gross's
wheelhouse.
You
know,
and
you
know
many
conversations
with
her.
D
She
speaks
of
a
family
of
four
and
she
has
a
little
plastic
garbage
at
the
end
of
the
because
she
composts-
and
I
thought
well
isn't
that
great.
I
think
I
don't
know
if
you
re
use
it
in
your
own.
You
know
planting
or
fertilization,
but
but
so,
but
the
the
real
idea
here
is
the
rich
soil
that
you're
creating
yes
as
much
as
landfill,
occupancy
right.
Well,.
O
We
know
that
the
most
vulnerable
people
tend
to
live
in
the
most
vulnerable
spaces
and
that
lead
poisoning
is
a
very
real
real
concern
of
ours,
and
that
was
actually
one
of
the
pinnacles
that
the
grant
was
placed
upon
as
the
health
concern
that
we
have
for
having
sub-par
soils
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
in
particular,
because
we
have
high
ends
high,
very,
very
higher
than
normal
levels
of
lead
in
our
soils,
and
we
also
have
very
bad.
It's
not
bad,
but
it's
clay.
O
Soil,
really
heavy
clay
soil
to
the
point
where
most
community
gardens
have
to
have
raised
beds
and
truck
in
soil
from
from
other.
You
know
big
box
places
in
order
to
fill
it
up,
and
then
you
know
to
use
it.
They
can't
just
dig
a
hole
in
the
backyard
and
a
lot
of
our
communities
and
actually
start
planting,
and
if
they
do
plant
it,
they
don't
know
that
the
food
that
they're
consuming
from
those
soils
actually
has
lead
in
in
the
food
that
they're
producing,
because
bad
soil
produces
bad
food.
So
great,
that's.
D
Really
good,
I'm
really
glad
you
know
that
councilman
gross
mentioned
city
farms
too.
It's
a
yes
area
where
you
know
she
has
a
lot
of
planters
and
growers.
We
love
this
rich
soil
for
whatever
they're
they're
growing
or
fertilizing
councilman
wilson.
I
know
you
have
a
hard
time
selling
the
the
beautiful
worm.
D
Know
I
think
you
should
just
dive
in
you
know
all
the
way,
and
I.
G
Wasn't
willing
to
go,
they
have
these
towers
that
you
stopped.
D
G
D
D
Funny,
that's
funny
and-
and
you
know,
councilman
burgess-
I
remember
when
the
garbage
used
to
come
with
her
burlap
sacks
in
the
backyard
right.
You
know
so
so
we
both
go
back
in
ways
like
that
and
to
you
know,
councilwoman
strasburger
what
you
said
about
compost
if
we
can
get
plastics
into
some
sort
of
comp.
Compostable
word
I
don't
know
possibly
thank
you.
You
know
where
that
can
also
go
into
fertilizer.
D
P
Clearly,
maybe
we
should
be,
you
know
not
taking
up
all
of
a
busy
agenda.
P
Obviously
I'm
overly
enthusiastic
about
compost,
but
you,
the
council,
members,
might
also
recall
that,
for
it
feels
like
about
four
years
now,
every
time
we
have
our
budget
hearings
on
the
equipment,
leasing
authority
and
have
to
talk
about
our
garbage
haulers
right,
our
waste
haulers
that
you
know
we
know
the
fleet
is
horribly
old.
P
When
we
did
our
climate
action
plan,
we
identified
that
the
particulate
matter
that
is
spewing
out
of
those
decades-old
terrible
trucks
that
we
make
our
workers
drive
is
one
of
our
highest
concerns
for
air
pollution
and
every
year
in
the
budget
hearing
for
the
equipment
listing
authority,
I
say:
do
you
know
that
if
we
composted
did
municipal
composting
and
I
have
visited
cities
that
do
weekly
pick
up
for
composting,
it
can
cut
down
the
way
you
measure
how
many
miles
your
trucks
are
going
every
week
is
vehicle
miles
traveled
it
can
cut
that
in
half
that's
half
the
particulate
matter.
P
That's
half
of
the
stupid
wasted,
labor
time,
driving
back
and
forth
from
the
landfill,
that's
half
of
the
fees
we're
paying
we're
paying
at
the
landfill
and
that's
half
of
the
miles
on
that
fleet.
Imagine
cutting
down
the
amount
of
money
we
spend
on
those
waste
haulers
in
half,
so
that's
the
scale
that
we
can
reach
about.
P
Seven
years
ago
I
visited
some
friends
in
tacoma
washington
and
when
we
were
finished
with
our
first
meal
there
we
we
walked
outside
to
the
porch
to
put
our
garbage
outside,
not
inside
which
had
these
beautiful
municipal
tall
bins
with
the
flap
lid
and
the
wheels
there
was
a
green
one
and
a
brown
one.
I
can't
remember
which
one
was
the
compost,
but
we
scraped
our
entire,
even
cooked
food,
which
you
don't
do
in
backyard
composting.
Now
we
do.
P
You
know
just
like
orange
peels
and
banana
peels
and
things
like
that,
but
like
the
cooked
food
crab
legs,
because
we
were
out
on
the
west
coast,
you
know
into
this
the
bin
that
got
picked
up
weekly,
the
compost,
the
food
waste
bin,
big
ben,
got
picked
up
weekly
the
bin.
Next
to
it.
P
That
was
garbage
only
got
picked
up
every
other
week,
so
you
never
put
food
scraps
in
the
garbage
can
and
it's
much
smaller
and
as
councilman
wilson
said,
I
can
really
attest
just
in
our
own
household,
with
four
four
people
and
two
dogs
now
that
every
week,
when
we
put
our
kind
of
garbage
out
it's
much
much
smaller
than
our
neighbors
now
going
on
for
about
20
years,
since
we've
had
kids,
so
it
really
does
significantly
come
down
on
just
the
the
literal,
the
the
weight
and
the
bulk
of
waste
at
each
household.
O
O
And
you
know,
and
if
trash
wasn't
picked
up,
certain
people
would
certainly
notice
that
it
was
a
missing
service
that
we
provide.
But
somebody
has
to
pick
up
all
that
heavy
weight
and
they
have
to
dump
it.
You
know
into
that
truck
and
they
have
to
do
it
again
at
the
next
house
and
the
next
house
in
the
next
house,
until
they
reach
all
the
houses
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
getting
rid
of
that
bulk
and
getting
rid
of
that
weight,
which
usually
is
attributed
a
lot
to
the
wetness.
O
You
know
in
the
bulk
of
the
food
waste,
but
certainly
I'm
sure
help
them
in
terms
of
like
workman's
comp
issues
and
things
like
that
that
we
have
to
deal
with
with
our
employees,
because
that
means
that
it's
it's
less
strain
and
it's
less
weight
and
it's
left
heft
on
them,
and
one
of
the
other
problems
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
is
also
our
streets
are
very
narrow,
so
having
some
of
the
more
the
really
cool
technology
where
they
have
the
arms
that
can
reach
over
and
just
like
pick
up
the
stuff
by
itself
and
dump
it
in
just
for
some
of
our
communities.
O
This
is
not
feasible
because
you
can
barely
fit
a
car
down
the
street
in
some
of
them.
So
you
know
so
at
some
point.
We're
always
we're
always
going
to
have
that
manual,
labor
component
to
having
to
pick
it
up
by
hand
and
dump
it
until
they
figure
out
a
way
to
have
a
smaller
truck
that
can
get
down
our
streets.
So
it
also
helps
them
out
as
well
to
try
to
get
some
of
the
stuff
out
of
our
waste
stream
so
that
it
can
help
to.
You
know
lighten
their
load
literally.
P
And
obviously,
to
support
the
circular
economy
is
to
avoid
the
extractive
economy
right
and
so
not
having
to
mine
for
more
resources
not
having
to
increase
our
use
of
fossil
fuel,
because
there's
literally
enough
in
circulation
that
we
should
be
actually
just
recycling.
But
we
don't
recycle.
And
so
we
have
to
cut
down
our
plastics
in
order
to
avoid
the
extractive
economy.
So
that'll
be
that'll.
Be
it
for.
J
A
G
Thank
you.
So
this
bill
is
striking
the
the
fee,
the
amounts.
I'm
sorry.
This
is
the
rental
budget
registry
legislation
that
everyone,
like
everyone
here
has
worked
on
before
my
time.
J
G
Appreciate
this,
because
this
was
is
going
to
be
very
important
as
we
move
forward
with
legislation
was
introduced
yesterday
to
reduce
lead
poisoning
in
children,
and
so
this
this
item
here
is
here
because
we're
going
to
strike
this
and
it,
and
it
relates
to
bill
2090.
That
was
a
supplemental
paper
introduced
earlier
that
we
already
voted
on
which
puts
the
fees
in
the
fee
schedule.
G
M
Q
Yes
great,
so
I
think
many
of
you
are
aware
that
commonwealth
court
found
that
the
previous
fee
proposed
and
hard-coded
into
the
legislation
was
disproportionate
to
the
cost
of
executing
the
rental
registration
program.
So,
following
that
ruling
this
past
summer,
pli
worked
with
the
folks
that
helped
create
the
city's
fee
study
and
fee
schedule
to
revisit
the
fee.
M
So
the
third
council
district
a
number
of
years
ago,
had
surpassed
the
50
rental
market
throughout
the
entire
district.
Now
the
district
includes
southside
flats,
south
oakland,
central
oakland,
hilltop
neighborhoods
it.
The
the
the
rental
registry
is
the
passage
and
implementation
of
the
rental
registry
is
absolutely
imperative
to
quality
of
life
and
safe
living
conditions
within
the
third
council
district.
M
I
had
a
very
brief
discussion
with
council
or
former
councilman
now,
chief
of
staff,
gilman
about
absolutely
supporting
the
bill.
I
have
one
minor
reservation
and
that
is
the
reduction
of
fee
still
being
a
fee
and
that
we
go
back
to
court
another
time
and
we
spend
two
years
to
come
back
to
having
a
court
say
no,
that's
too
much
so
I
think
the
fee
do
we
have
an
amount
that
the
fee
is
being
reduced
to?
Is
it
something
like
13
or
something
or
I
might
be
wrong?
I
apologize
no.
Q
Q
So
that
is
that's
the
fee,
and
one
thing
that
I
think
is
important
to
call
out
is
the
ordinance
that
states
that
if
a
unit
passes
inspection,
it
is
eligible
to
renew
their
rental
registration
permit
be
at
half
the
normal
applicable
fee
and
units
that
pass
with
100
are
required
to
be
inspected
only
once
every
five
years.
So
for
those
units
that
do
pass
inspection,
they
would
only
pay
the
application
intake
fee
at
that
is
halved
so
eight
dollars
until
it
is
inspection
time
again,
each.
M
Q
Each
year
correct
so
that
is
very
different
from
the
65
55
45
sliding
scale
fee
that
required
payment
each
year,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
we
split
the
application
intake
fee
versus
the
inspection
costs.
M
This
is
a
little
radical
and
I
don't
mean
to
suggest
it,
but
you
know
I've
been
here
14
years,
the
entire
time
I've
been
here,
I've
served
with
then
councilman
peduto
now
mayor
peduto,
and
this
has
been
a
topic
of
of
a
conversation,
and
we
have
struggled
to
pass
a
rental
registry
in
the
city
and
damn
at
this
time,
we're
gonna
do
it.
M
We
we
it's
imperative
that
we
do
this
and
and
it
might
sound
a
little
radical,
but
I'm
of
the
school
of
thought
that
we,
if
it
came
to
it,
I
would
be
willing
to
support
to
go
out
to
do
it
without
any
fee
assigned
to
it
whatsoever,
so
that
no
court
could
strike
it
down
and
then,
after
doing
it
for
a
year,
we
could
prove
a
cost,
a
burden
of
of
implementing
that
program
and
and
then
I
dare
a
court
to
overturn
when
we
have
proof
that
we've
done
it,
we've
experienced
it.
M
We
have
records
of
exactly
what
it
cost
to
do
it,
and
I
can't
imagine
that
any
court
would
overturn
it.
I'm
going
to
support
this
and
I
applaud
you
and
the
peduto
administration
for
the
for
the
tenacity
to
keep
this
ever
alive
and
ever
present
it.
It
is
the
topic
of
conversation
every
time
I'm
in
south
or
central
oakland
there.
There
is
no
bigger
conversation
that
we
have
so
I'm
happy
to
support.
I
wish
us
all
the
the
the
best
in
it.
I
understand.
M
Law
has
reviewed
and
silica
hilton
feels
that
we
ca
can
clearly
defend
this
if
it
were
to
be
challenged
that
we
would
be
okay
with
it.
So
I'm
happy
to
support
it
and
we'll
never
let
it
go.
We
will
never
ever
let
this
go
until
it
happens
and
and
one
last
thing
as
long
as
I'm
on
a
soapbox,
I
feel
like
councilman
burgess
right
now,
the
our
our
our
biggest
enemy
in
this
process
has
been
the
realtors
association
and
they
have.
M
H
M
P
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to
applaud
director
kinter
and
the
administration
and
the
law
department
for
going
through
and
and
fighting
for
this
legislation
that
we
introduce.
Now
I
can't
even
remember
what
year
it
was
2017..
We
pass
it
maybe
before
that
2016.
P
2016..
So
we
know
we
need
this
and
just
a
reminder
to
the
public.
We
have
discovered
thousands
and
thousands
of
units
that
are
out
of
compliance
and
almost
unlivable
right.
We
have
had
single
landlords,
have
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
units
that
people
shouldn't
be
living
in
the
city
currently
doesn't
have
a
list
of
apartments
and
so
cannot
put
them
on
an
inspection
schedule
and
so
cannot
guarantee
the
living
standards
that
people
are
living
in.
I
think,
as
a
city
we're
over
half
renters
right
could.
H
P
And
it
might
have
gone
up,
I
don't
think
we
have
the
current
data
from
2021.
I
do
believe
it's
higher,
I
mean
I
represent.
You
know
bloomfield.
The
last
census
was
at
65
renters,
and
we
talked
about
this.
We
talked
about
rental
registry
and
we
talked
about
the
housing
opportunity
fund
and
we
need
to
know
where
all
those
units
are.
We
need
to
be
able
to
put
them
on
an
inspection
schedule.
It
is
a
public
health
issue.
It
is
one
of
our
core
city
powers
to
do.
P
This
is
the
tool
to
do
it
and
we
hope
that
the
courts
will
support
us
in
this
very
important
policy
work
and
not
entertain
another
challenge
to
the
legislation
and
director
kinter.
You
may
know
offhand
I've
forgotten
how
many
municipalities
in
the
city
in
the
state
of
pennsylvania,
already
have
rental
registries
and
just
people
they
all
the
landlords,
pay
their
annual
fee
and
are
on
an
inspection
schedule.
Do
you
know
offhand.
P
Of
pennsylvania,
we
know
in
allegheny
county,
there
are
municipalities
with
rental
registries
just
like
this,
and
the
sky
did
not
fall,
but
I'm
sure
those
apartments
across
that
municipality
are
in
much
better
condition
than
the
ones
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
I'm
I'm
also
very
very
grateful
to
seeing
this
finally
come
to
fruition.
P
We
hope,
and
especially
because,
as
we
talked
about
this
week,
we
need
to
begin
to
proactively,
inspect
or
deteriorated,
lead
paint
and
protect
our
children
proactively
from
lead
poisoning
instead
of
inspecting
after
they
are
already
poisoned,
which
is
what
the
current
system
is
today.
So,
let's,
let's?
Let's
hope
this
is
not
challenged
in
court
and
we
can
begin
to
prevent
poisoning.
Thank
you,
director,.
F
Thank
you.
I
won't
belabor
the
point
we
need
this.
We
need
this
to
succeed
in
court
and
we
need
this
to
pass
and
for
the
sake
of
our
ongoing
legal
argument,
I
will
say
I
support
the
fee
as
well.
A
lowered
fee
is
fine,
but
I
know
that
we
we
need
to
be
able
to
sustain
this
program,
and
so
we
need
a
fee
to
be
able
to
make
that
happen.
It
can't
be
on
the
backs
of
a
new
tax
on
unrelated
taxpayers
or
whatever
the
source
might
be
for
funding
this
program.
F
I
mean
in
my
mind,
if
you
are
the
owner
of
a
rental
property,
you
are
a
business
owner
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
you're
not
taxed
as
such,
so
a
minimal
fee
to
ensure
that,
if
you're,
if
your
properties
are
in
great
working
order
and
they're
incredibly
safe
for
the
residents,
this
should
not
affect
you
and
for
those
who
have
neglected
their
properties
to
such
an
extent
that
they
will
have
to
make
major
renovations.
F
Well,
maybe
they
need
to
get
out
of
the
business
of
actually
owning
rental
properties
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
hopefully,
it'll
have
a
chilling
effect
on
those
kind
of
property
owners
in
the
future,
so
director
kinter,
I
know
that
you
are
currently
carrying
the
baton
in
this
long
long
relay
race
and
I'm
really
appreciative
to
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
and
that
pli
has
done
and
the
mayor's
office
and
really
everyone
who's
been
involved
in
this
effort
and
our
law
department.
Everyone
who's
been
in
this
effort
along
the
way.

H
A
P
Version
two
privet
discussion:
okay,
I
am
gonna,
look
up
a
number
on
my
phone,
so
forgive
me
for
a
minute.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
the
entirety
of
the
626
acres.
That
is
our
now
kind
of
new.
I
think
largest.
H
H
N
H
P
Yes,
I
am
now
on
the
right
bill
for
hayes
woods
and
what
I,
the
notes
I
have
in
front
of
me
is
this:
is
the
entirety
of
the
626
acres
that
was
donated
by
a
landowner
but
received
by
the
ura,
but
is
is
intended
to
be
our
newest,
very,
very
large,
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
the
largest
city
park-
and
so
this
is
us
receiving
it
as
the
city
from
the
urani.
P
So
I'm
gonna
say
kind
of
near
page
dairy
mart
like
those
those
big
green
hills,
big
green
hills
up
there
that
have
been
undeveloped
and
yes,
going
back
way.
Before
my
time
on
council,
there
was
some
prospecting
and
visions
of
a
casino
and
racetrack
right
for,
like
some
of
the
gambling
permits
that
instead
was
donated
to
the
city
of
well
indirectly,
right
meant
for
to
be
a
donation
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
but
kind
of
was
held
by
the
ura
for
a
few
years,
and
now
this
is
us
receiving
it.
N
Thank
you-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
working
on
this,
but
I
really
want
to
say
that
this
is
a
project
that
mayor
peduto
is
extremely
proud
of,
and
so
I
think
in
his
term
he
talked
about
this
being
one
of
the
things
that
he's
most
pleased
that
he's
accomplished.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
give
him
a
lot
of
acknowledgement
on
this
one.
Thank
you
councilwoman
for
moving
it
along.
A
A

N
Thank
you
a
while
back
councilman
gross
had
called
for
a
post
agenda
on
wilkinsburg,
but
it
was
cancelled.
So
I'm
going
to
call
for
a
another
post
agenda
and
public
hearing
and
we'll
work
together
on
scheduling
some
of
those
so
kind
of
a
motion
for
a
post
agenda
and
public
hearing
regarding
wilkinsburg.
A
N
Thank
you,
and
I
also
want
to
mention
that
I
met
with
the
food
policy
council
yesterday
and
discussed
ways
that
that
we
might
be
able
to
work
together
with
council
members,
and
so
I
want
to
form
two
task
forces,
because
I
one
of
the
things
I
think
we
keep
talking
about
is
better
accountability
with
the
non-profits,
and
so
I'm
gonna
form
two
task
force,
one
to
work
with
the
food
groups,
not
just
food
policy,
council,
food
bank,
others
that
may
not
be
included
a
task
force
of
some
of
those
members
and
the
council
members
in
the
mayor's
office
and
budget
folks,
so
that
we
can
figure
out
that.
N
But
the
other
task
force
will
be
some
to
draft
something
to
hold
nonprofits
but
more
accountable
in
the
city.
So
I
have
some
idea
of
who
I'd
like
to
put
on
which
committee,
but
if
members
have
something
they
prefer,
please
let
me
know
before
next
tuesday,
when
I
announce
it.
Okay,
that's
it!
Thank
you.
N
F
F
Okay,
thank
you.
I
just
we,
I
think
we
all
know
today
is
the
third
commemoration
of
the
synagogue
shooting
in
squirrel
hill
and
the
the
day
that
so
many
lives
were
changed.
11
of
our
friends
and
neighbors
were
were
murdered
and
were
taken
from
us
and
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
that
the
community
is
still
healing
that
we
are
still
fighting
this
war
against
hate
and
anti-semitism
and
racism
and
xenophobia
in
our
country,
and
that
we
need
to
be
there
for
one
another.
F
F
I
