A
And
good
morning,
and
welcome
to
the
standing
committee
meeting
for
wednesday
october
20th
2021.
council
will
be
meeting
in
hybrid
format
until
further
notice.
We
encourage
speakers
to
continue
registering
and
speaking
virtually
as
there
will
be
limited
number
of
seats
available
in
council
chambers.
Our
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
want.
A
B
Shady
trees,
not
shady
deals
and
bonaire,
the
pennsylvania
state
constitution
says
all
power
is
inherent
in
the
people,
and
all
free
governments
are
founded
on
their
authority
and
instituted
for
their
peace,
safety
and
happiness.
Where
did
elected
officials
get
the
idea
that
they
are
lording
over
us?
How
can
they
make
decisions
for
our
community
that
we
have
lived
in
and
been
property
owners
in
for
decades?
B
How
can
gregory
coyle
sit
smugly
at
a
town
hall
meeting
in
opposition
to
we,
the
property
owners
of
bonaire?
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.
B
Official
oppression
has
consequences.
Significant
community
concern
has
been
expressed
to
the
board
of
education
and
the
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-compliance
sale?
B
My
sincere
consistent
request
is
that
city
council
create
a
resolution
to
block
sounding
change
and
support
a
green
space
to
replace
bonaire's
pool
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.
B
C
Dr
ronaldon
miller
global
intelligence
society
candidate
for
mayor
pittsburgh,
2021,
we
focus
on
optimal
information
and
intelligence
from
the
21
primary
disciplines
to
inform
public
policy.
C
Well
when
national
intelligence
information
networks
were
founded
by
me
in
2020,
f
of
x,
plus
h,
minus
f
of
x,
divided
by
h,
is
f
prime
of
x,
which
is
key.
A
concern
of
pittsburgh
city
council
is
to
recognize
significant
providers
of
the
best
information
via
high
intelligence
to
the
pittsburgh
public,
as
evidenced
in
the
proclamation
12
october
2021
for
kdka's
lynn,
hayes,
freeland
lhf.
C
I
in
the
gis
ask
pittsburghers
in
all
nine
council
districts.
If
they
think
kdka
wtae
wpxi
coverage
level
is
genius,
average
or
moronic.
They
say
very
frequently.
It
is
moronic
gis
assessment,
kdka,
wtae
and
wpxi
coverage
is
as
a
pattern
superficial,
lacking
informational
density
and
intelligence
complexity
and
cliched
a
cliche.
All
politics
is
local
cliched,
squared
all
broadcasting
is
local,
lhf
12
october
21.
These
are
lies,
informational
and
intelligence.
C
Values
of
this
zero
moronic
lies
from
an
information
intelligence,
kdka
reporter
honored
by
councillor
lavelle
for
providing
realistic
information
and
reliable
intelligence
to
pittsburghers
for
decades
pittsburghers,
whom
lhf
and
her
kdka
neanderthal
equipment,
videographer,
steve,
left
behind
before
hearing
citizen
information
and
intelligence
in
public
comment.
This
is
moronic
behavior.
The
kdka
news,
so-called
news
between
four
and
seven
is
moronic
fast
food
stuff
it'll
make
you
sick
if
you
watch
it
too
often
a
black
african
american
female
icon,
making
citizens
ralph
ellison,
invisible
men
and
women.
C
I
in
the
gis
ask
pittsburghers
all
over
the
city
if
they
think
that
moronic
kdka,
wtae
and
wpxi
personnel
talk
to
citizens
as
if
they
are
morons,
and
they
say
yes
if
they
think
that
counselors
mayors
may
or
candidates
talk
at
them
down
at
them
and
show
as
as,
if
and
treat
them
as
if
as
voters,
they
are
morons
and
they
say
yes,
if
they
think
candidates
for
political
office
like
mayor
candidates,
moronically
sabotage
each
other's
campaign
at
advertisements,
and
they
just
laugh.
They
say
yes
I'll
run
a
miller.
C
Posters
like
this
one
disappear
off
of
south
main
street
in
the
west
end.
Amidst
moreno
ads
and
gaining
ads
in
the
hill,
the
dp
and
rp
are,
in
my
view,
to
blame.
D
D
D
A
E
E
As
you
know,
remember
the
big
fire
10
years
ago
that
took
three
house
we're
having
a
problem
with
bailey
avenue
as
the
racing
going
down
there
75
miles
high
per
hour
on
that
street.
It's
25
miles
and
the
side
streets
people
can't
get
out
now.
Two
months
ago
a
guy
pulled
out
of
judicial,
which
we
made
at
one
side
parking,
because
we
couldn't
get
the
fire
trucks
down
there.
E
Well
car
an
suv
came
and
hit
it
swung
on
the
suv
swung
across
the
street,
crashed
into
the
iron
fence,
knocked
the
iron
fence
down
and
then
slid
over
the
hill.
But
the
weed
tree
stopped
from
tumbling
over
the
hill
and,
as
I
say,
there's
been
accidents
up
here
about
six
accidents
so
far
and
we've
got
to
slow
down
the
traffic.
As
I
say,
the
people
are
parking
their
cars
up
around
there
in
these
big
suvs
and
you
can't
see
on
the
side
streets
and
I'm
not
blaming
you,
I'm
blaming
the
planting
and
zoning.
E
They
did
this
to
you
of
putting
these
houses
into
apartments
and
that's
what
they
should.
They
should
have
came
up
and
looked
at
these
houses
and
said:
there's
no
parking
no,
but
they
did
that
to
make
money.
I
don't
know,
but
that's
one
thing,
I'm.
I
would
like
to
talk
to
you
about
in
the
future.
We've
I
talked
to
bobby
and
he
told
me
in
the
future
that
you're
going
to
be
doing
it
next
year
about
doing
something
about
bailey
avenue.
E
It's
bailey
avenue
it's
judicial,
bailey
and
bailey
and
etta
street,
where
doctor
mccollum
is
that
the
people
from
bigby
street
cannot
come
out
because
they're
scared,
because
the
cars
are
speeding
down
there.
If
you
remember
belts
over
from
belcher
all
the
way
down
to
boggs
it's
a
one,
long
street
and
there
has
been
accidents,
people
crashing
into
the
stonewall
up
up
in
the
grandview
park
twice.
So
that's
the
thing
we
gotta
get
straightened
out
about
number
two.
E
I
don't
have
enough
time,
but
I
contacted
I
tried
to
get
hold
of
the
reverend
so
many
times
four
to
five
times
he
won't
return.
My
calls
anthony
coghill
called
me.
I
called
him
twice
about
the
parks
and
everything
I
one
of
these
days,
anthony
I'd
like
to
sit
down
in
your
office
or
with
you
and
talk
about
here's,
an
idea
I
have
about
what
we
can
do
to
make
it
not
going
so
bad
if
you
don't
mind
doing
that
I'll
come
next
week
and
talk
about
what
I've
seen
up
in
the
park.
E
As
you
know,
bruce-
and
you
know
teresa
and
theresa.
That
was
a
smart
idea
of
doing
what
virginia
avenue
and
bigham
street
putting
those
signs
here.
That
was
common
sense.
You
know
you
did
the
right
thing,
but
I
would
like
to
talk
to
you
about
what
I
see
up
there.
I
am
involved
with
the
parks,
as
you
know,
bruce
friends
of
grandview
park.
We
have
done
that
years.
E
We've
done
it
now,
the
neighbors
of
the
mount
and
the
nwc
I've
been
involved
with
all
of
them,
and
all
I'm
just
trying
to
do
is
keep
the
parks,
nice
and
looking
and
that's
all
I
need
to
do
so.
If
you
just
have
time
I'll,
stop
at
your
office
anthony
and
give
my
number
and
everything
and
then
I'll
let
them
get
they
can
get
a
hold
of
me.
If
you
want
to
okay,
you
all
have
a
nice
day.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
F
My
name
is
iron
f
brown.
I
live
in
the
hill
district
at
the
tv
where
ervis
tires
up
at
the
top
where
the
civic
arena
used
to
be.
I
came
today
because
I
want
you
citizens
to
understand
when
you
don't
come,
then
you
don't
know
what's
happening
now
yesterday,
when
we
had
the
agenda
and
I'm
looking
through
the
agenda,
the
mirror
has
taken
in
all
these
commissions
and
boards
and
stuff
he's
been
put
these
different
people.
F
How
come
as
the
the
man
that
spoke
yesterday
from
bedford
dwellings.
He
spoke
very
well
and
he
was
saying
how
come
he
couldn't
be
on
some
of
these
committees.
It's
not
just
him,
but
there's
other
people,
we're
wondering.
Where
are
you
getting
these
people
where
they
coming
from?
You
know
when
I,
when
I
heard
bush
I
mean
not
bush
trump
he's
suing
or
something
I
said
here
come
the
snake
out
from
under
the
rock,
because
you
know
I
have
a
friend
that
went
to
vietnam.
He
fought
over
there
when
he
came
back.
F
You
know
what
he
calls
this
united
snakes
of
america
and
you
know
we
got
a
lot
of
snakes
slithering
up
on
their
rocks.
When
you
don't
come
before
us.
That's
what
I
consider
I
consider
you
now
I
had
my
mother.
A
mother
was
the
type
that
she
was
a
fusser
and
I
guess
I
took
that
after
her.
But
at
one
thing
my
mother
was
like
this.
F
If
you
got
to
talk
to
her
and
look
at
her
she's,
just
his
ignorant
too,
you
know
what
dr
miller
he
is,
took
and
stopped
brenda
and
was
telling
her
how
such
a
fabulous
job
she's
doing
and
I'm
looking
and
he
said.
Well,
I
know
you
don't
care
for,
and
I
said
well,
no,
I
don't,
because
I
don't
feel
that
she
was.
She
had
the
qualifications,
it's
kim
kim.
Did
it
she's
got
on-the-job.
Training
kim
done
taught
her.
F
How
to
do
this
because
she
didn't
know
the
laws
of
pennsylvania,
and
I
want
you
to
understand.
I
come
down
because
other
people
won't
because
we
need
to
see
the
sneaky
things
you're
doing
anytime.
He's
got
all
these
boards
with
all
these
different
people.
Half
of
us
don't
know
who
they
are
and
where'd
he
get
them
from.
They
came
from
under
the
rocks
the
snakes
snakes
in
the
grass
and
that's
what
I
feel
sometimes
about
them.
Now
people
been
telling
me
I
can't
come
down
here.
F
You
can't
come
down
here
and
talk
smart
to
me
born
because
they're
not
going
to
listen.
Well,
I
don't
care
whether
you
listen
or
not.
I'm
still
going
to
keep
coming
and
I
am
75
years
old
and
I
can't
tell
you:
instead,
I've
been
coming
here
over
20
something
years
and
yes,
disrespect
me,
you
get
what
you
get,
you
get
what
you
give
and
I
don't
have
reverence
for
none
of
this.
A
B
A
A
H
I
J
K
J
L
We
had
met
yesterday,
council,
councilman,
burgess
and
councilwoman
gross,
and
we
decided
to
make
this
amendment
and
in
order
to
really
get
things
going
in
the
right
direction,
which
I
think
will
make
everybody
happy
as
to
our
districts
and
making
sure
that
we
get
the
improvements
and
things
that
we
need
for
our
parks.
So
I
want
to
thank
councilwoman
gross
and
councilman
burgess
for
their
their
leadership
on
this,
who
I
lean
on
heavily
so
and
I
defer
to
them.
If
they'd
like
to
speak
to
it,.
A
Just
met,
may
I
or
briefly
so
this
bill
has
been
on
hold
essentially
so
you've
brought
it
back
to
the
table.
We
don't
need
to
amend
it,
because
the
amendment
is
actually
the
exact
same
as
what
is
currently
on
the
table.
We
just
need
to
approve
what
is
already
existing.
N
So
burgess
said
so
we
are
we
met
yesterday
as
a
committee.
This
is
a
starting
point,
but
I
think
there
are
going
to
be
a
few
more
changes
that
the
committee
wants
to
recommend
so
I'd.
Rather,
I
think
we
want
to
hold
it
for
a
couple
of
weeks
and
then
bring
back
a
couple
of
recommendations
to
the
council.
N
The
idea
is
this
may
make
it
very
clear
with
the
idea
that
the
idea
is
that
the
part
tax
trust
fund
would
have
an
annual,
an
annual
expenditure
that
comes
before
council,
that
we
can
examine
as
a
whole
and
that
no
money
comes
out
of
that
trust
fund.
Unless
council
proves
it,
so
that's
the
that's
really
the
broad
scheme
of
it
there's
some
conversation
about
line
items
and
about
creating
some
council
line
items
for
use
of
those
funds,
but
that's
we're
having
that
conversation
now,
but
this
this
broad
idea
is
an
idea.
N
I
Sure
man,
so,
as
I
understand
mr
chair,
this
is
the
bill
as
it
exists.
So
we're
going
to
discard
this
and
the.
O
Up,
I
appreciate
it
just
a
few
words.
Yes,
so
I
wanted
to
thank,
madam
president
for
kind
of
reinvigorating
us
and
pushing
us
to
come
to
some
resolution
and
deadline.
Before
the
end
of
the
year
we
had
a
productive
meeting.
O
I
think
that
we
have,
as
councilman
burgess
said,
a
general
concept
and
appreciate
our
budget
office,
helping
us
kind
of
work
it
out,
so
that
it's
something
that
fits
with
our
appropriation
process
with
council,
and
I
do
think
that
we'll
we'll
find
something
that
all
council
can
support
in
just
a
few
weeks.
Thank
you.
K
Just
want
to
thank
the
committee
for
working
and
and
coming
together,
and
I
do
it
sounds
like
you're
trying
to
gather
what
everyone
wants
to
see
is
council
having
some
say
in
these
dollars,
and
not
just
assuming
that
they're
going
to
go
to
one
organization
or
to
to
do
the
things
that
maybe
council
members
aren't
even
approving
of
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
see
that
council
will
will
maintain
some
some
say
in
that.
So
thank
you
all.
A
D
N
Yes,
there
is
an
amendment
on
the
table.
I
would
move
to
a
men
there's
a
written
amendment.
N
Let
me
go
through
a
little
bit,
so
basically,
the
amendment
was
encouraged
by
the
department
of
public
safety.
Chatera
may
be
on
the
line.
She
is
on
the
line,
and
so
this
is
in
keeping
with
with
what
it
is
that
they
would
what
they
want,
including
to
some
things.
I
think
we
want.
There
are
really
three
things
that
this
does
one
is
it
like.
N
That's
number
one
number
two:
it
limits
the
amount
that
can
be
used
internally
on
the
fund
to
20,
so
that
staff
internal,
because
it
was
really
designed
to
be
going
into
community
groups,
and
so
it
limits
the
administrative
use
of
these
funds
annually
to
20
and
and
it
puts
the
fund
under
the
purview
of
the
department
of
public
safety.
I
think
those
are
the
three
major
takeaways
from
the
amendment
and
I'll.
O
J
P
I
don't
really
have
too
much
to
add.
These
amendments
came
as
a
result
of
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
there
was
some
structure
and
how
the
funds
were
used
and
distributed.
P
But
you
know
twenty
percent
internal,
eighty
percent
external
and
just
also
making
sure
that
you
know
council
is
involved
in
the
process
so
that
you
know
monies
are
going
to
community
organizations
appropriately.
You
know
within
their
district
so
previously
before
the
legislation
was
amended.
You
know.
P
A
lot
of
access
to
it,
so
the
mayor's
office
had
access
to
it.
You
know
and
could
go
directly
to
omb
and
make
decisions.
Public
safety
had
access
to
it.
This
way,
it's
just
structured,
you
know
under
one
department,
obviously
with
oversight
from
council
and
omb.
We
can
just
make
sure
that
we're
clear
on
how
the
money
is
used
when
it
is
used
and
where
it's
going
to.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
I
was
hoping
that
if
you'd
allow
an
interrogatory
with
reverend
burgess
to
find
out
why
it
is
being
structured
with
20
maximum
expenditures
internally
for
our
own
offices
and
who
work
on
these.
N
Sure
originally,
when
we
created
the
fund,
it
was
designed
to
put
100
of
it
to
outside
organizations.
The
whole
idea
was
to
fund
outside
violence
prevention,
programs,
councilman
lavelle,
and
I,
in
consultation
with
the
public
safety
director
and
with
the
the
mayor's
office,
talk
about
these
other
programs
that
needed
to
occur
internally,
that
in
order
to
be
successful,
such
as
the
social
worker
program,
a
lot
of
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety,
and
that
there
was
really
no
other
venue
to
fund
those
those
projects.
N
But
I
I
do
think
they're
of
wor
of
worth
and
are
important
to
the
violent
prevention
process.
But
I
still
think
that
we
should
the
bulk
of
the
resources
should
still
go
to
community-based
organizations
or
doing
the
work
every
day.
And
so
what
this
does
is
it
limits
so
that
you
know
we're
keeping
the
spirit
of
the
fund
in
in
place,
and
so
that
number
was
a
negotiated
number
with
us
and
public
safety
and
everybody
who
would
listen
over
the
last
few
months.
Q
Thank
you
for
that
explanation.
I
still
have
some
concerns
that
it's
only
only
for
20
allowed
for
internal
use.
I
mean
I
see
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety
office
of
community
services
and
violence
prevention,
just
really
getting
off
the
ground
and
already
expanding
already
doing
some
really
fantastic
work.
That
is,
you
know.
I
would
hope
that
we
would
cultivate,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
now
some
of
these
funds
will
be
there
to
bolster
that
effort,
but
I
guess
I
just
hope.
Q
That's
that
more
of
these
more
of
this
trust
fund,
these
test
run
dollars
that
are
coming
from
well,
let's
see
a
certain
percentage
of
the
budgeted
amount
for
allocated
to
the
bureau
of
police
would
then
go
towards
additional
internal
uses.
That
are,
you
know
that
are
really
just
getting
off
the
ground
and
that
I
think
we
you
know,
still
need
to
invest
in.
So
I
don't
know
in
my
mind
the
number
still
seems
low.
Q
I
would
love
to
see
it
increased
at
the
very
least,
I'd
like
to
see
us
be
able
to
revisit
this
in
the
future
if
this
passes
today,
I'd
like
to
see
us
revisit
this
in
the
future
to
assess
whether
the
percentages
are
correct
and
I'm
happy
to
have
anyone
respond
to
this,
whether
it's
another
council
member
who
can
help
clarify
this
and
the
thinking
behind
this
for
me
or
chatera
or
anyone
else,.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Just
a
quick
question
for
councilman
burgess
and
shatira.
Am
I
overthinking
it
by
suggesting
that
we
tighten
up
the
language
of
the
department
of
public
safety?
Is
it
too
broad?
Should
it
be
the
public
safety
director
department
of
public
safety
is?
It
seems
to
me
that
most
anyone
within
the
bureau
could
argue
to
make
access
for
the
funds.
Maybe
I'm
overthinking
it.
I
just
thought
that's
what
your
opinion
is.
N
I'm
the
and
I
have
to
ask
the
budget
director
budget
office.
They
help
me
do
this.
I
think
we're
just
putting
the
fun
in
a
place.
It's
not
the
person.
It's
the
place.
The
fund
right
now
is
not
in
a
place,
it's
kind
of
not
in
any
department,
so
we're
actually
putting
the
fund
in
a
place.
That
does
not
mean
that
anyone
in
that
department
has
access
to
the
fund.
It
simply
puts
the
fund
in
that
place.
I
P
Was
originally
sorry
john's
minecraft,
it
was
omb
the
mayor's
office,
the
department
of
public
safety.
I
think
it
might
have
just
been
those
three
entities.
There
could
have
been
a
fourth
and
this
just
put
it
under
the
department
of
public
safety,
because
that's
where
the
the
account
for
the
trust
fund
actually
lives
in
public
safety,
and
so
the
oversight
of
the
trust
fund
should
be
a
joint
responsibility
between
public
safety
as
well
as
omb,
and
now
I'm
not
sure
how
other
departments
work.
I
can
only
speak
for
mine.
P
K
You-
and
I
just
want
to
say
I
love
the
idea
of
the
community
health
and
safety
office
and
and
some
of
the
things
they're
doing,
but
I
do
think
that
we
have
to
identify
the
funding
differently
is
what
I
think,
because
I
don't
necessarily
think
that
the
funds
that
are
going
to
the
community-based
organization
should
be
anti-shatter
and
to
some
of
the
work
that
they're
doing
should
be
coming
from
the
same
qualifier.
K
I
feel
like
we're
pitting
one
department
or
one
division
of
a
department
against
another,
instead
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
fund
what's
important
to
us.
So
I
think
that's
you
know
whatever
is
important
to
us.
That's
what
this
budget
and
22
should
be
reflecting,
but
I
do
wonder
how
we're
who
determines
who
the
cbo's
are,
how
much
money
they're
getting
what
their
contract
looks
like?
What's
the
enforcement?
K
What's
the
auditing
process,
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
giving,
you
know
how
I
feel
about
nonprofits,
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
giving
them.
K
They
do
amazing
work
and
there's
some
that
we
could
not
do
without
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
like
the
food
bank,
but
there
are
some
that
will
have
leave
a
lot
of
questions
and
and
leave
us
wondering
you
know
what
their
real
motives
are
and
what
they're
really
doing
so
for
me,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
giving
money
to
groups
and
to
non-profits
that
they're
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
with
public
dollars,
so
I'm
just
curious
could
shatter.
K
K
And
does
it
come
back
before
council
for
approval?
Those
are
things
I
want
to
know.
P
So
I'll
take
you
from
the
top
we're
just
very
we're
in
the
like
super
infancy,
stages
of
this
right
now
of
working
with
a
foundation
that
has
not
been
selected
yet
to
help
us,
you
know
to
distribute
these
funds
to
community
organizations.
We
are
building
that
process.
No
money
has
been
distributed.
Compliments
if
you
know
I
share
your
sentiments
with
you
know.
As
the
organization
legitimate
is
all
their
paperwork.
You
know
in
place.
K
P
An
issue,
the
issue
that
we
have
and
it's
a
barrier
to
really
supporting
and
helping
our
community-based
organizations
is
that
everything
with
the
city
is
reimbursable
or
sorry.
It's
a
reimbursable
process.
Well,
at
least
all
the
projects
that
I
have
worked
on
have
been
a
reimbursable
process.
So
if
we
have
something
in
a
specific
council
district-
and
we
have
a
community-based
organization-
and
this
is
just
a
hypothetical
that
says-
you
know-
I
need
to
increase
my
capacity
to
bring
in
25.
P
So
if
you
they
come
to
us
and
they're
like
okay
city
of
pittsburgh,
here's
my
proposal,
I
need
fifteen
thousand
dollars
to
bring
these
kids
in,
to
hire
more
staff
to
obtain
technology
and
whatever
else
well,
we
we
say
to
them,
and
we
have
said
to
them:
okay,
well,
you
have
to
spend
fifteen
thousand
dollars
or
you
have
to
spend
five
thousand
dollars.
You
have
to
spend
seven
thousand
dollars,
show
us
that
you've
done
the
work
and
that
you
spent
the
money
and
then
we'll
pay
you
back
for
it.
P
So
that's
why
we
can't
we
can't
invest
in
these
community
organizations.
We
can't
properly
support
them
because
they
don't
have
the
capacity
they
don't
have
the
financial
resources
and
they
don't
have
the
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
to
help
their
communities
in
the
way
that
they
know
how.
So
with
this
particular
process,
or
I
should
say,
aspect
of
a
trust
fund,
we're
saying:
okay,
we
hear
you,
we
understand
this
concern
and
we
are
going
to
break
down
that
barrier
of
this
reimbursable
process.
P
It
doesn't
mean
that
if
you
need
fifteen
thousand
dollars
that
you're
going
to
get
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
your
hand,
right
away,
you
still
have
to
prove
some
work.
So
if
that's
two
thousand
dollars
that
you
need,
you
know
for
startup
costs
through
this
process,
you
can
get
that
and
then,
as
you
grow
capacity,
improve
the
needs.
The
rest
of
your
fifteen
thousand
dollars
will
be
given
to
you
again.
We
sent
out
an
rfp
some
time
ago.
We
full
transparency.
P
I
don't
know
we
had
some
questions,
and
so
we
worked
with
the
the
proper
city
departments
to
get
those
questions
back
to
those
organizations
that
did
respond
to
the
rfp.
Just
to
make
sure
that
you
know
things
are
going
the
way
that
we
want
them
to
go.
We
need
them
to
go,
because
if
we
agree
when
it
comes
to
that,
we
will
work
with
council
on
this
and
make
sure
that
whatever
process
you
all
are
comfortable
with
that
we
are
moving
forward
with
that
process.
P
But
that
is
the
barrier
we
could
find
a
way
internally
to
be
able
to
support
these
organizations
without
it
being
through
a
reimbursable
process.
Then
we
necessarily
wouldn't
have
to
you
know,
look
for
a
foundation
to
help
us
manage
this
money.
We
could
just
manage
it
internally.
K
So
I'm
going
to
say
you
gave
us
a
lot
to
think
about,
but
so
I'm
going
to
abstain
today,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
talk
about
this
process
a
little
bit
and
how
we're
distributing
the
funds
and
where
the
accountability
will
come
in
with
those
funds.
I
I
just
feel
like
we
do
this
across
the
board.
We
do
this
with
the
akbo
funding
now
that
I
think
it's
called
the
ned
money,
we
do
with
cdbg
money
and
we
change
the
process
even
internally,
sometimes
even
from
contract
to
contract.
K
So
it's
just
the
way
we
just
in
general,
allocate
funding
to
organizations
I'm
concerned
with
in
the
city,
so
I'd
like
to
have
a
further
conversation
with
some
of
the
members
before
I
vote
for
this,
so
I'll
abstain
today.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
my
just
overall
concern
is
with
the
the
number
80
I
was
hoping.
Someone
could
help
me
understand.
This
number
wasn't
picked
arbitrarily.
M
M
O
Yeah
I
thought,
but
then
I
wasn't
sure
I
appreciated
it.
So
I
appreciate
that
some
of
the
language
here
is
what
we're
moving
towards
with
the
trust,
the
parks
trust
fund
as
well-
and
I
I
I
hear
members
concerns
about
what
level
this
split
should
be,
and
I'm
recalling
our
conversations
last
year,
creating
it.
It
was
earlier
this
year,
creating
it
and
hearing
a
lot
of
the
testimony
with
last
year
and
this
year
about
you
know
new
efforts
to
reduce
violence,
but
also
police.
O
You
know
diversion
or
mental
health
assistance,
social
worker
assistance
and
it
it.
It
feels
to
me-
and
I
may
not
be-
this-
may
not
be
right,
but
as
I
listen
now,
it
feels
to
me
that
there
are
different
capacities
in
these
two
separate
programs,
and
maybe
I'm
stating
the
obvious-
maybe
I'm
not,
but
that
the
efforts
to
do
the
awards
to
groups
that
are
in
the
community
that
are
not
on
payroll
that
are
not
in-house
that
are
not
the
office
of
health
and
safety
are
actually
more
targeted
at
violence
reduction.
O
That's
what
they
say,
whereas
the
other
operating
expenditures
that
are
here
kept
at
20
are
going
to
fund
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety.
O
There
may
be
more
prevalent,
one
might
be
more
prevalent
in
some
parts
of
the
city
or
some
people's
council
districts
and
others
might
be
more
prevalent
in
other
parts
of
the
city
or
other
sections
of
people's
council
districts,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
I
think
that's
what
we're
struggling
with
what
what
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me
easily
to
pull
up.
P
Right
now,
councilwoman,
I
think,
as
far
as
in
internal
expenditures,
we're
at
nine
percent
to
the
office
of
community
service.
This
is
rough.
Rough
estimates,
roughly
nine
percent.
It's
like
eight
point
something
of
another,
so
roughly
9
for
the
office
of
community
services
and
violence
prevention
and
then
roughly
21
percent
for
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety
of
the
stop
and
violence
trust
fund.
O
So
20
of
5
million
is
a
million,
so
was
it
a
million
dollars
budgeted
for
this
year
to
the
health
and
safety
office?
I.
P
Don't
I
think
that
number
is
a
little
high,
so
I
would
have
to.
I
don't
have
my
numbers
in
front
of
me
either.
I
should
have
had
them
prepared
for
today,
but
I
can
get
those
numbers
to
you
when
it's
broken
down.
It's
about
nine
percent
and
21.
P
So
I
guess
so
that
the
outreach
contracts
all
of
them
are
external,
so
I
was
only
referencing
monies
that
were
spent
internally
on
staff
and
benefits,
and
things
like
that
from.
O
O
They're,
sharing
that
nine
percent
now,
okay,
so
the
violence
prevention,
let's
just
kind
of
make
the
work.
So
we
can
contrast
the
violence.
Prevention
was
getting
nine
percent
and
health
and
safety
was
getting
20.
So.
P
Yes,
internally,
the
staff
that
have
been
dedicated
to
support
the
violence
prevention
efforts
internally
are
currently
funded
right
now,
at
nine
percent.
The
internal
staff
to
support
you
know
homelessness,
opioid
addiction,
things
like
that
through
ochs
are
currently
funded
from
the
trust
fund
at
around
21.
O
Okay
well
like
if
it's
20
of
5
million,
then
yeah
that's
a
million
dollars,
and
so
the
question
I
think
I
heard
councilwoman
smith
say
is
well
you
know.
If
we
want
to
fund
this
department
of
community
health
and
safety,
it's
not
a
department,
but
this
office
of
community
health
and
safety
does
does
that
funding
need
to
come
out
of
a
trust
fund.
O
Maybe
you
didn't
say
this,
but
this
is
kind
of
the
way
I
was
thinking
or
does
it
come
straight
out
of
the
operating
budget
in
its
own
line
item
and
not
kind
of
right
now
we're
taking
money
from
the
operating
budget
in
a
matching
scale,
not
diverting
police
budget,
but
is
if
the
police
budget
doubles.
So
does
the
stop
the
violence
fund
double?
O
If
the
police
budget
is
in
half,
then
the
stop
the
bonds
fund
gets
cut
in
half.
So
it's
just
a
matching
amount,
but
it's
coming
straight
from
operating
funds.
If
it's
going
from
operating
funds
and
then
going
into
the
health
and
safety
office-
and
you
know,
doesn't
need
to
do
that-
I
think.
O
You
don't
need
to
answer
that
one!
That's
a
hypothetical
question
for
members
to
answer
right.
It's
like!
If
we,
if
we
believe
in
this
work,
then
we
can
just
fund
it
in
the
budget
without
it
coming
out
of
this
thing,
so
I
think
that
kind
of
can
make
us
feel
better
about
what
these
percentages
are.
O
So
what
I
think
the
real
question
in
front
of
us
is
that
do
we
feel
like
funding
the
outreach
work
is
worth
80
of
this
fund
and
we
I've
heard
a
lot
of
testimony
last
year
and
this
year
about
how
underfunded
the
workers,
who
are
doing
the
outreach
are
in
fact
they
really
should
be
at
a
higher
pay
scale,
no
matter
what
hours
they're
doing
and
that.
O
Secondly,
we
weren't
providing
enough
hours
to
those
workers,
so
they
were
juggling
other
jobs
in
trying
to
do
the
outreach
work,
and
then
we
hear
testimony
about
how
they
were
doing
interventions
at
schools
at
funerals
and
providing.
O
We
have
the
capacity
to
fund
people
to
find
those
who
are
in
crisis
and
connect
them
with
the
resources
that
they
need,
and
that's
a
lot
of
what
we
talked
about
at
the
table
is
how
to
how
to
connect
our
our
citizens
with
the
resources
that
they
need.
So
I
understand
members
concerns,
though,
so
you
know,
I've
still
got
my
ears
open,
but
that's
all
I'll
say
now,
mr
chair,
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
before
we
go
to
the
second
round
for
my
piece,
I
actually
agree
with
councilwoman
gross,
I'm
okay
with
the
80
number,
because
originally
this
part
of
funding
was
supposed
to
be
a
hundred
percent
to
fund
the
outside
organizations
that
are
doing
balance
prevention
work.
However,
to
support
staff.
We
have
allocated
20
to
do
so.
I
agree
with
councilwoman
growth
said.
If
we
believe
in
what
the
staff
is
doing,
then
budget
budget
season
is
quickly
upon
us.
A
N
N
Everyone
who
has
spoken
is
is
right:
let's
just
talk
about
sort
of
practically
how
we
do
this.
This
everyone
who
spoke
today
is
right.
N
N
What
has
to
happen
is
the
department
of
public
safety
has
done
an
rfp
for
a
provider
to
to
help
distribute
the
funds
and
to
monitor
the
reason
you
want
to
outside
the
group.
Is
you
want
someone
who
has
the
capacity
to
not
only
award
them
as
a
grant,
but
then
has
the
internal
tracking
process,
which
we
don't
have
that
they
would
have
that
track
the
spending
of
the
money
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
what
it
is
we
want
them
to
do
so.
N
N
In
my
mind,
I
think
there's
probably
two
or
three
different
areas.
But
lastly,
let
me
just
talk
about
philosophically
something
that
I
think.
N
I've
been
trying
to
do
this
work
for
for
20
years,
and
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
gets
sort
of
lost
is
that
all
of
this
violence
is
not
a
direct
thing.
It's
not,
although
it
it
does
have
a
direction
right.
Your
young
people
may
shoot
another
person,
but
there
are
layers
of
of
disenchantment
of
hopelessness
right
and
from
the
very
beginning
of
doing
this
work,
we
were
always
supposed
to
put
a
social
service
component
to
the
violence
prevention
effort
that
we
just
never
funded.
N
I
think
the
best
way
to
look
at
this
is
if
I
would
take
you
to
a
place
in
my
district
and
I'll
say
it
homewood
and
frankstown.
N
If
you
go
to
home
in
frankstown
on
any
given
day,
you're
going
to
see
a
variety
of
activity,
some
of
it
illegal,
some
of
it
legal,
some
of
it
just
it's
just
a
whole
bunch
of
people,
there's
a
there's
sort
of
a
flea
market
illegal
free
market.
There's
just
all
this
stuff
going
on.
N
Well,
you
can't
really
send
the
police
to
deal
with
all
those
merit
of
issues.
Right,
that's
not
going
to
work.
You
can't
send
a
social
worker
alone
because
that's
not
going
to
work
the
outreach
worker
alone
not
going
to
work,
but
with
a
coordinated
effort.
You
would
be
able
to
go
to
this.
This
quadrant
of
problems
there's
been
lots
of
shootings
lots
of
problems
with
the
store
there.
Just
lots
of
problems
with
this
coordinated
effort
having
both
outreach
workers
and
and
social
service
workers
and
police
in
a
coordinated
way.
N
You
will
be
able
to
go
to
those
corners
and
clean
them
up
at
the
same
time
providing
the
needs
and
resources
that
everyone
in
that
corner
may
need,
and
that's
the
attempt
to
do
this
is
the
is
to
create
a
coordinated
effort
to
meet
the
needs
of
people
in
these
at
risk
communities
where
the
violence
is
occurring,
because
it's
all
connected
right.
If
mama.
If
my,
if
my
mother,
you
know
doesn't
have
money
and
food,
then
I'm
more
likely
to
do
things
to
provide
food
on
the
table
and
act
out.
N
If,
if
you
know,
and
so
the
the
real
the
real
cause
of
this
violent
stuff
is
hopelessness,
and
so
we
we
need
to
in
a
very
coordinated
way,
try
to
get
rid
of
all
those
social
problems
that
cause
violence
to
be
the
last
consequence
of
very
a
very
bad
social
situation.
N
So
I
say
all
this
to
say
this
is
certainly
the
first
step,
not
the
last
step,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
pass
this
first
step
and
then
I'll
continue
to
work
with
members
and
with
council
as
a
whole
and
chatera
as
we
go
through
the
allocation
process
and
we'll
decide
what
that
needs
to
be
as
a
as
an
entity.
J
M
N
Correct
the
problems
are
connected,
so
the
process
would
be
that
first
of
all,
we
have
to
hire
the
intermediate
right
and
the
intermediate
would,
with
consultation,
us,
send
out
an
rfp
of
some
one
or
two
three
pots
of
money
that
could
be
available
right
and
then
that
that
they
would
then
consider
it,
and
then
they
release
it.
N
So
I
think
there's
some
conversation
that
has
to
come
with
council
to
decide
what
that
what
those
pots
of
rfp
money
can
look
like
like
there's
been
some
there's
been
great
con
you're,
not
talk
I'll,
just
say
this
publicly.
You
you
not
talk
about
support
for
the
sport
league
sports
leagues
as
as
a
major
component.
Everyone
agrees.
N
Everyone
agrees
that
those
youth
football
teams
and
youth
baseball
teams
in
these
at-risk
communities
have
their
hands
on
these
kids
that
are
most
likely
to
be
subject
to
street
life
at
some
point
right
and
that
person,
perhaps
that
that
that
helping
to
invest
in
these
young
people
in
part
of
that
program
in
an
educational
counseling
way
may
be
a
good
way
to
do
that,
but
that's
not
to
determine
so
we
have
to.
We
have
to
first
hire
the
the
consultant
and
then
talk
with
them
about
what
we
want
to
see
happen.
N
Yeah,
full
disclosure,
I've
been
working
with
parks
with
city
parks
so
that
it's
coordinated
whatever
we
do
becomes
coordinated
with
our
city
because
our
public
work,
our
our
parks,
also
does
a
lot
of
this
work
right.
They
do
a
lot
of
direct
tech,
they
do
a
lot
of
this
work
and
the
idea
is
there's
only
so
much
money
if
we
can
coordinate
it
with
all
of
our
city
resources
and
get
the
outside
groups
again,
everything
should
be
seamless
and
coordinated.
That's
really
the
the
the
the
challenge
is
up.
N
M
So
you
brought
up
the
conversation
we've
been
having,
and
I
guess
you
know
initially,
I'm
in
support
of
you
know
projects
like
that
and
money
being
spent
like
that.
I
guess
it's
just
that
you
know.
I
don't
feel
that
counsel
or
me
alone
or
us
working
together
should
be
like
you
know
the
only
way
ideas
come
to
the
table
and
so
it'd
be
it'd,
be
great
to
know.
M
You
know
a
strategic
way
that,
like
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
get
confirmation
that
that
plan
will
work.
You
know
where
has
this
been
done?
You
know
where
you
know
I
mean
I
can.
You
know
pontificate
on
what
I
think
might
might
be.
You
know
a
great
option,
I'm
just
really
concerned
about
you
know.
Eighty
percent
going
outside
organizations
like
is:
is
there
something
internal
that
we
might
have
to
create
to
bring
after-school
programming?
If
that
is
you
know
what
the
experts
say
works
to
the
community?
Would
we
have
to
fund
that
in-house?
M
And
I
would
hope
that
we
would
take
this
bill
and
you
know
revise
it
in
a
way
and
amend
it
in
a
way
that
would
be
reflective
of
a
of
an
of
a
national
model
or
a
model
that
you
know,
speaks
to
organizations
in
the
way
in
the
way
money
spent
to
outside
organizations
that
has
shown
to
be
successful.
I
guess
I'd
like
to
see
some
stats.
N
Yeah
well
part
of
it
is
the
the
the
violence
prevention
effort
that
we're
funding
through
the
center
of
community
careers
is,
is
a
is
a
blue
ribbon
evidence-based
model
out
of
john
jay
college
that
intervention
method
itself
that
it
that
we
didn't
talk
about,
but
that
funds
this
it's
already
one
of
the
two
leading
violent
production
balance
reduction
models
in
the
in
the
country,
so
we
are
actually
already
following
a
model
that
was
part
of
the
obama
justice
department's
efforts
to
reduce
violence.
N
Okay-
and
we've
been
a
part
of
that,
so
I
I
didn't
mean
to
suggest
that
and
everything
we're
doing
is
underneath
that
umbrella.
So
we
are
already
under
a
sort
of
national
model
that
we're
using
now
we're
just
talking
about
bits
and
pieces
underneath
that
model
that
we
can
use
to
to
to
further
its
efforts.
So
it
there
is
already
yes
I'll.
Probably
make
that
clear.
There
is
the
ceasefire
model
designed
by
professor
kennedy.
N
John
j
college
is
the
model
that
our
city
uses,
that
you
know
we
brought
to
the
city
many
many
years
ago,
and
all
this
stuff
is
underneath
that
model
and
it's
part
of
the
national
initiative
to
national
initiative
to
build
community
trust,
which
we
were
one
of
the.
We
were
one
of
the
first
five
cities
in
the
country
to
do
that
probably
was
before
you
were
on
office,
and
so
I've
not
been,
maybe
as
clear
about
that,
because.
M
N
N
We
do
okay,
we
absolutely
do
it,
we
just
do
it
now.
We
just
do
it,
we
do
it
in
I
mean
shatera
can
explain
that,
but
we
do
it
in.
Sometimes
we
do
it
in
targeted
what
they're
called
they
call
targeted,
help
me
satara.
They
call
targeted
interventions,
it's
the
same
model
and.
P
Like
right
now,
covet
and
and
protocols
and
access
to
certain
facilities-
and
things
like
that-
have
definitely
put
a
damper
on
some
of
the
places
that
we
have
access
to
and
the
way
that
we
can
execute
these
things.
Because
of
this,
we've
created
a
space.
We
meet
every
monday
from
12
to
2
p.m.
To
reassess
some
of
these
things
and
how
do
we
find
a
different
strategic
way
to
bring
our
partners
back
to
the
table
and
work
around
some
of
their
covert
protocols?.
P
I
can
give
that
to
you.
The
biggest
thing
is
is
that
we
were
working
in
a
minute.
We've
reiterated,
so
I
don't
want
to.
You
know,
go
over
things
that
we
said
in
the
last.
You
know
a
few
times
that
we
met,
but
I'm
almost
embarrassed
to
say-
and
I
will
send
this
to
you-
what
our
outrage
workers
were
making
and
councilman
gross
had
discussed
this
a
little
bit
ago,
how
many
jobs
they
were
working.
P
You
know
to
provide
money,
support
for
their
families,
and
now
this
gives
us
the
capacity
to
be
in
the
schools
longer
to
make
sure
that
we're
following
up
and
providing
resources
in
a
more
impactful
way.
It
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
really
measure
our
work
and
measure
community
impact.
The
way
that
we
need
to
so
there's
a
laundry
list
of
things
that
we
can
do
now
that
we
can
expand
capacity
that
we
just
were
not
able
to
do
before.
M
P
So
the
idea
of
the
steering
committee
and
will
work
with
council
on
this
as
well-
is
that
when
so
we're
talking
about
now
the
80
percent
and
not
necessarily
the
the
20
percent,
but
because
of
20
percent,
those
are
more
internal
discussions
through,
like
counsel
the
very
department
of
hope
cities
were
the
only
department
in
the
legislation
at
this
point,
but
the
steering
committee,
when
we
have
these
rfps,
that
we
are
getting
from
the
organization
that
will
be
helping
us
manage
this
process.
P
M
J
Q
Okay,
well,
I
appreciate
all
the
discussion.
I'm
gonna
keep
it
brief,
I'm
in
support
of
this
today,
because
I,
the
discussion,
helped
me
understand
exactly
what
the
needs
are
out
there
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
also
understand,
as
we've
all
said,
that
this
is
that
the
work
that
our
staff
do
internally
and
the
work
that
the
violence
interruption
workers
do,
who
don't
work
for
the
city
but
are
contracted,
are
two
sides
of
the
same
coin:
they're
just
getting
at
violence
from
different
directions.
Q
A
Thank
you,
council
president
smith,.
K
I
just
was
going
to
say
almost
similar
to
what
councilwoman
strasberger
just
said
that
I
feel
better
after
having
the
conversation
here
and
hearing
some
of
the
things,
but
I
do
want
to
make
it
clear
that
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
review
the
process
of
how
we
handle
allocating
funding
to
nonprofits
across
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
not
just
in
this
for
this
initiative,
but
for
a
lot
of
them
and
I
do
think
a
lot
of
times.
It
should
come
back
to
city
council
for
approval.
K
So
for
me,
I'm
gonna
vote
for
today
with
the
understanding
them
to
work
with
members,
councilman,
burgess
and
others
on
on
that
process,
but
to
also
talk
about
how
councilman
called
kill-
and
I
had
talked
about
funding
other
nonprofits
in
our
districts,
because
I
think
it's
it's
one
thing
that
our
groups
are
getting
funding
from
this
program.
None
of
you
know
what
they
do
in
our
community.
K
You
just
know
what
they
tell
you
they
do,
and
so
I
think
that
there's
no
one
who
knows
what's
going
on
in
our
districts
better
than
we
do
so
for
me,
I'd
like
to
do
that,
but
I
also
like
to
look
at
when
you're
talking
about
some
of
these
programs
a
program
we
do
on
our
side
of
town.
Mrs
bailey
from
the
sheridan
community
council
worked
with.
She
was
a
cmu
grad
and
she
worked
with
us
and
cmu
to
create
a
program
where
cmu
grad
students
come
in.
They
train
our
kids
on
computer
programming.
K
They
train,
I'm
sorry.
They
train
our
police
officers
on
computer
programming
and
computer
erected
tech
stuff,
and
then
they
in
turn
train
our
kids
in
the
community
for
free
and
if
they
partner
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
we
provide
the
space
and
and
whatever
resources
they
need,
and
we
also
even
at
one
point
when
the
program
first
started.
When
we
were
looking
for
computers
and
laptops,
we
couldn't
get
them
off
our
pittsburgh
public
schools,
but
south
fayette
school
district
donated
them
to
our
kids
at
in
sheridan.
K
So
I
mean
it
was
a
lot
of
collaboration
from
a
lot
of
people.
I'd
love
to
see
something
like
that
ongoing
across
the
city,
where
we're
benefiting
the
students
and
putting
people
that
really
know
what
they're
doing
and
builds
a
police
community
relationship
in
a
positive
way.
They're
not
just
going
and
playing
ball
they're
just
going
and
talking
they're,
actually
giving
the
kids
a
skill.
So
I'd
love
that
I'd
love
to
see
that
expanded
through
something
like
this.
L
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
all
good
questions.
You
know
I
understand
council's
hesitancy
on
on
some
of
these
things.
First
and
foremost,
you
know
it's
it's
hard
to
you
know,
earmark
money
or
or
to
you
know,
vote
for
funding
for
a
program
that
we
don't
know.
Quite
if
it's
going
to
be
successful,
we
do
know,
there's
a
need
for
it.
L
I
understand,
and
I
support
that,
but
I
think
most
of
all,
we
have
to
it's
hard
for
us
to
do
this
as
counselors,
but
but
we
have
to
almost
in
funding
this
look
at
it
as
there's
many
unconventional
ways.
I
believe
police
forces
can
use
this
funding
in
order
to
prevent
violence,
whether
it
be
programming,
whether
it
be
social
workers,
you
name
it
a
lot
of
different
buckets
there.
L
It
would
be
great
to
have
a
menu
as
to
hey
this
funding
is
going
to
this
and
that
and
this
but
council
member,
just
maybe
you
could
help
clarify
this-
we're
really
trying
to
protect
this
money
from
going
to
anything
else,
but
the
intended
purposes
right
and
if
a
program
works.
If
we
put
this
money
towards,
you
know
prevent
the
violence,
whether
it
be
a
social
service
worker,
whether
it
be
an
informant.
You
know
you
name
it
there's
a
thousand
different
ways.
L
Police
forces
can
use
this
type
of
you
know
funds,
but
you
know
eventually,
I
feel
like
we
have
to
be
flexible
in
the
way
of
you
know.
Once
something
does
work,
then
we'll
fund
it
more
when
something
doesn't
work,
we'll
scrap
it
again.
It's
hard
to
to
to
support
and
to
to
you
know,
put
our
necks
out
there
and
support
it.
L
When
we
really
don't
know
exactly
what's
going
to
work,
but
I'll
be
supportive,
because
I
have
confidence
in
our
our
police,
and
you
know
I
have
a
confidence
that
this
council
will
see
the
transparency
as
to
where
every
dime
is
spent
and
the
success
of
it.
So
so
with
that,
you
know
I'll
be
supportive
today
and
I
look
forward
to
I
hope
this
makes
a
big
difference.
Thanks.
Thank.
E
N
Without
that's
so
really
we
backed
into
the
number
it
was.
It
was
based
on
what
the
staff
said
they
needed,
and
what
would
that
cap
look
like
and
making
sure
that
never
increased
so
in
the
in
the
out
years?
That
will
go
way
below
if
you
keep
the
same
number
of
staff
right
as
the
front
increases,
it
goes
from
20
to
maybe
15
down
to
12
over
the
next
three
or
four
years.
So
that's
kind
of
how
we
backed
into
the
20
number.
N
Yeah,
we
have
no
no
we're.
We.
We
had
this
conversation
yesterday
at
our
meeting,
and
maybe
this
is
a
good
time
to
remind
us
for
many
for
many
years.
You
know:
we've
been
thinking
of
the
budget
as
as
a
document
that
we
had
to
accept
when
it's
really
not
the
the
budget
is
a
doc.
It's
a
wish
list
from
the
mayor
to
this
council.
N
K
N
The
mayor
does
a
wish
list,
we
create
what
we
believe
is
the
fiscal,
the
fiscal.
What
we
we
decide
is
the
fiscal
obligation
of
the
city,
and
then
we
give
that
back
to
the
mayor
to
implement
that's
sort
of
the
process
right,
and
so
we
can.
We
can
move
things
around.
So
if
we
want
more
money
internally,
we
can
take
it
from
a
variety
of
places.
N
It's
not.
The
public
safety
department
is
not
missing
any
dollars
really.
The
problem
is
they
have
such
constraints
on
how
they
can
use
their
money,
and
so
we
need
some
vehicle
to
be
able
to
get
money
to
these
community
groups,
because
I
think
all
of
us
agree
that
our
community
groups
that
are
doing
this
work
need
some
support
from
our
city
and
we
don't
have
a
vehicle,
and
I've
been
saying
this
for
for
10
years.
Like
you
know,
we
had
these
workers
are
out
there
doing
work
for
like
15,
20
000.
N
A
I
I
was
serious,
I'm
going
to
keep
it
very
just
in
response
to
the
councilman's
remarks
and
just
for
the
the
the
medication
of
the
public
at
large.
This
council
did
serve
14
years
under
47.,
where
we
were
basically
handed
a
budget
that
was
it.
It
was
designed
by
the
state
given
to
the
mayor
and
council
had
to
approve.
We
had
very
limited
room.
Last
year
really
was
the
first
year
this
council
crafted
a
budget
in
the
14
years.
I
The
councilman
and
I
have
served
on
this
body,
and
this
year
will
be
the
second
year
and,
and
it
will
be
an
incredibly
important
budget
for
us
and
we
do
have
the
power.
That
is
the
power
that
has
granted
this
body.
We
do
accept
and
receive
a
budget,
but
we
are
fully
I
hate
to
use
the
word
entitled,
but
charged
with
with
the
finances
of
the
city
and
and
can
design
the
budget.
Please,
let's
not
get
down
that
road.
I
I
just
needed
to
say
that,
but
number
two,
the
the
only
reservation
I
have
is
that
on
on
the
bill
is
that
we
have
not
really
clearly
defined
staff
in
they
and
I'm
always
a
little
leery
about
using
terminology
like
they
and
staff,
without
really
having
a
clear
definition
of
who
the
20
will
be
spent
by.
But
we
can
talk
about
that
okay
cool
then
we
can
certainly
take
that
offline.
But
with
that
I
would
be
very
pleased
and
happy
if
the
council
would
take
the
vote.
A
The
bill
is
amended
any
further
discussion
on
the
bill
as
amended.
If
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
abstentions,
bill
is
recommended.
If
we
can
take
1996
1997
1998
together,
they
all
require
executive
session.

I
M
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
to
be
added
as
a
sponsor
to
the
bill.
This
is
an
important
bill.
M
M
You
know
time
that
is
rightly
hers
and
we
should
be
sharing
together
watching
our
kids
while
I
was
campaigning,
but
you
know
for
for
those
that
find
themselves
in
a
situation
where
they
would
need
to
access
their
campaigns
campaign
funds
in
this
way,
I'm
supportive-
and
I
like
to
be
as
a
sponsor
as
well
thanks.
O
You
just
briefly,
I
I
really
appreciate
councilman
o'connor
and
his
office
working
on
this
bill,
and
it
long
before
I
ever
imagined
running
myself
and
I
was
helping
other
people
run
for
office.
O
You
know
in
a
in
a
two-career
couple,
there's
you're
not
always
lucky
to
have
a
wife
around
or
a
mom
around
or
a
your
grandparents
around,
and
it
was
a
real,
explicit
discussion
of
well.
You
know
how
do
we
round
up
volunteers
for
child
care
if
you
can't
afford
to
pay
for
it
and
it's
evenings
it's
weekends,
and
certainly
I've
also
spent
some
time
trying
to
encourage
women
to
run
for
office.
O
When
I
was
running
a
political
action
committee
to
fund
female
candidates-
and
it
was
it's
a
real
barrier,
it
was
an
explicit
discussion.
While
I
was
encouraging
women
to
run
for
certain
seats
in
the
region,
the
idea
that
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
cover
child
care
costs
is
an
absolute
obstacle,
and
so
I
I
think
this
is
I'm
really
enthusiastic
about
this,
and
really
I'm
grateful
to
councilman
o'connor
to
for
working
out
the
details
and
I'm
honored
to
be
a
co-sponsor.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
too
am
very
enthusiastic
about
this.
I'm
I'm
happy
to
be
a
co-sponsor.
I
really
appreciate
councilman
o'connor
who's,
a
new
parent
himself
and
and
his
staff
for
his
for
their
work
on
this
bill
and
echo
what
councilman,
wilson
and
councilwoman
gross
already
stated,
and
just
to
point
out
that
this
is
also
a
bill
about
equity.
It's
a
bill
about
getting
people
who
have
different
life
experiences
into
council
or
into
elected
office
in
general,
which
is,
I
think,
important.
Q
We
don't
want
people
who
have
a
monolithic
kind
of
life
experience
representing
us
as
elected
representatives.
We
want
people
who
are
poor
to
be
able
to
run
for
office
and
represent
their
constituents.
We
want
people
who
are
parents,
we
want
people
who
have
all
sorts
of
different
life
experiences
and
backgrounds,
and
child
care
during
a
campaign
should
not
be
a
barrier
to
that.
Q
I
also
just
wanted
to
state
that
you
know
so
much
of
this
is
really
just
signaling
that
if
you
are
raising
a
family,
if
you
are
a
parent,
it's
okay
to
run
for
office,
I
mean
there
wasn't
anything
explicitly
stopping
people
from
using
this.
As
a
campaign
expenditure
for
child
care
in
the
past,
but
this
explicit
now
makes
it
explicit
and
really
signals
that
it's
okay
to
to
be
a
parent
to
be
raising
a
family
to
be
balancing
many
different
things,
as
councilman
mcgraw
said,
and
to
run
for
office.
L
I
would
also
like
to
be
added
to
the
bill.
If
that's,
okay,
and
also
I
want
to
say,
you
know-
in
campaign
finance
laws,
they're
so
vague.
You
know
I
often
say
if
I
decide
to
buy
a
speed
boat
with
my
campaign,
finance
money
and
take
it
up
and
down
the
rivers
and
wave
to
people.
Well,
that's
helping
me
get
elected,
you
know,
so
you
know
it's.
It's
really.
You
know
there
and
there
really
is
no
authority
to
I'll.
Take
you
for
a
ride.
All
right.
J
L
Really
is
no
authority
to
you
know,
mandate
what
what
we
can
and
cannot
do,
but
I
would
say
this
is
something
people
would
hesitate
to
do
and
think
it
was
wrong
and
to
clarify
it
was
a
good
thing,
and
I
want
to
thank
connor
to
you
know,
put
it
out
there,
so
people
don't
hesitate
thanks.
I
Very
briefly,
councilwoman
gross.
If
you
recall,
you
were
kind
enough
to
meet
with
me
back
in
like
2004
when
I
was
contemplating
running
for
a
public
office
and
you
were
running
or
you
were
caring
for,
like
a
better
word,
run
baby
run,
which
was
assisting
then.
What
was
that?
What
would
that
be?
2004,
21
17
years
ago,
working
to
put
female
candidates,
women
candidates
forward
to
to
run
for
public
office?
And
you
and
I
met
at
a
coffee
shop
in
in
bloomfield
and.
O
I
Oh,
I
do
very,
very
well
yeah
very
well
very
well,
but
I
just
yeah
that
just
came
to
mind
when
you
mentioned
that
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
thanks
councilwoman.
A
K
A
A
E
A
H
Bill
2045
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
directors
of
the
department
of
public
works
and
a
public
safety
on
behalf
of
the
city
to
enter
into
a
lease
agreement
with
steam,
fitters
local
union
449,
to
allow
the
city
to
lease
certain
real
property
for
use,
as
the
bureau
of
police
facilities
for
a
term
of
64
months
and
a
cost
not
to
exceed
3
million,
149
thousand
54
dollars
and
64
cents.
Excluding
utilities
motion
to
approve.
K
It's
my
district.
Yes,.
L
Even
though
I
dispute
that
now,
I
would
like
to
say
you
know
originally
this
building
the
steam
fitters
local
449,
they
built
a
brand
new
facility
out
in
harmonville.
L
This
facility
is
on
woodruff
street
or
route
51
there.
I
originally
had
taken
dan
gilman
and
a
few
others
just
to
look
at
the
place
for
the
new
public
works
facility.
If
you
recall,
which
I
thought
it
was
ideal
for
that,
I
almost
killed
him
yeah.
I
know
you
did
so
you
know,
but
the
garage
space,
the
classrooms.
This
is
just
perfect
for
swat.
I'm
really
glad
the
administration,
you
know,
saw
this
opportunity
and
is
taking
it
and
the
location
is
ideal.
So
it's
a
good
deal
all
the
way
around.
L
K
You-
and
I
want
to
thank
you
also
for
your
work
in
this
and
for
realizing
it
is
my
district,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
this
not
only
freed
up
this
building
for
the
steam
fitters
and
will
help
that
area.
Someone
mentioned
the
other
day.
K
K
If
we
didn't
do
this,
we
might
be
sitting
and
looking
at
another
vacant
building
in
our
district,
but
the
best
part
of
this
whole
thing
was:
it
freed
up
the
stephen
school
building
and
will
now
have
our
first
ever
recreation
city,
rand,
recreation
center
in
district
2
at
stevens
school
in
elliott,
in
the
elliott
community,
so
it
helped
and
and
with
our
madam
clerk.
I
want
to
thank
her
and
our
facilities,
people
and
director
hornstein
for
going
out
and
lieutenant
ripple
for
going
out
to
look
at
these
facilities.
K
I'll
be
honest
with
you:
it
wasn't
like
a
900
degree
day
and
we
went
out
to
lunch
together.
We
talked
about
what
we
want
to
see
and
then
I
said
you
could
go.
Do
the
tours
I'm
going
home
because
it
was
so
hot,
but
they
went
out
and
they
looked
at
the
facilities
too
and
made
sure
that
we
can
put
our
archives
in
the
stevens
school.
Building.
We're
going
to
be
able
to
give
a
home
to
maybe
organizations
like
sister
mary's,
like
salt,
save
a
life
today
as
her
organization
like
hope
for
tomorrow.
K
Our
west
end
boxing
academy
at
langley
will
now
be
able
to
move
into
the
stevens
building.
If
we
work
through
all
the
agreements
and
work
through
everything
we
have
to.
But
the
best
part
is
that
our
kids
will
have
a
city
run
facility
over
there,
but
so
I'm
happy
that
the
steampunkers
are
going
to
have
use
for
their
building.
I'm
thrilled
with
that.
K
I'm
thrilled
that
we're
working
through
any
concerns
and
I'm
thankful
that
our
we'll
have
additional
police
in
that
area,
but
I'm
really
thrilled
that
our
kids
are
going
to
have
something
that
is
operated
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
That's
freeing
up
that
building,
so
I
want
to
thank
everybody
every
there's
a
lot
of
people
involved,
so
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
what
they
for
their
contributions
to
making
sure
this
happens,
especially
thank
the
mayor's
office,
stan
gilman
and
this

for
voting
for
it.

A
L
Just
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
mention
two
things.
First
of
all,
if
you
caught
the
trib
article
this
morning,
written
by
miss
fenton
over
here,
the
the
great
story
about
our
sergeant-at-arms
over
here
john,
where
are
you
john
okay?
So
you
know
in
saving
mr
meisen
held
her
life
some
months
ago,
but
really
really
great
stuff
and,
and
he
put
it
best
where
he
has
confidence,
anybody
on
the
police
force
would
have
done
the
same
thing
he
would
have
been.
L
I
believe
that
as
well,
so
I
just
wanted
to
thank
him-
he's
been
very
busy
as
sergeant-at-arms.
I
don't
ever
remember
the
sergeant-at-arms
having
you
know
so
much
activity
as
as
of
late,
but
that-
and
I
wanted
to
also
you
know-
congratulate
you,
miss
pre.
You
know
just
taking
pennsylvania
by
storm.
Aren't
you
that's!
L
That's
really
good
stuff,
you
know
what
you're
creating
and
what
you're
doing-
and
you
know,
besides
all
the
beautiful
office
space
you're
creating
for
us
in
lounge
area,
you
know
doing
that
for
clerks
in
general
throughout
the
state
is
really
great.
So
so
so
really
good
stuff-
and
I
just
wanted
to
appreciate-
show
some
appreciation
towards
both
of
you.
J
A
K
I
just
want
to
thank
the
well
councilman
caulker
for
bringing
that
up,
but
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
clerk
we
have
an
amazing
team
there
I
mentioned
it
yesterday
we
have
an
amazing
team
and
also
with
our
sergeant-at-arms.
K
He
is
constantly
working
really
hard,
and
so
I
think
that
we'll
have
time
to
celebrate
everyone,
but
but
I
want
to
thank
the
trib
for
actually
covering
something
accurately
and
positively,
because
we
don't
always
hear
we
sometimes
see
things
swayed
a
lot.
That
was
a.
I
was
happy
to
see
an
actual
article.
That
was,
you
know
with
what
you
know
was
positive
and
what
was
actually
happening
so
with
that
said.
I
just
want
to.
K
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
an
amazing
team
here
that
put
us
out
here
every
day,
keep
us
safe
and
do
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
you
councilman
coghill,
for
your
work
on
the
steam
feeder
building,
because
what
he
was
so
passionate
about.
I
was
like
I'm
just
going
to
choke
him
if
he
doesn't
stop,
but
he
really,
maybe
in
the
redistricting.
L
We
could
yeah.
K
I
told
him
we
didn't
start
getting
it
because
they
always
think
it's
their
district.
I
had
the
same
same
battle
with
councilman
mosnick
at
the
time
I
said
you
know
that
is
actually
that's.
District
2.
I'll
have.
A
Thank
you,
councilwoman
gross.
Thank.
O
You,
mr
chair,
I
just
want
to
also
acknowledge
what
we
heard
about
a
little
bit
of
public
comment,
which
is
the
death
of
mr
rogers
by
while
in
police
custody
last
week,
and
there
was
a
vigil
in
bloomfield
to
support
the
neighbors
and
his
family,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
mr
rogers
was
tased
by
police
officers.
I
think
it
was
wednesday
night-
and
this
was
probably
one
of
the
kinds
of
police
calls
that
would
have
greatly
benefited
from
having
a
social
worker
on
site.
O
Mr
rogers
was
unhoused
eyewitnesses
who
the
neighbors
on
the
street
on
harriet
street
were
very
disturbed
by
how
he
was
handled
and
that
he
was
repeatedly
tased
while
going
while
the
police
were
taking
him
into
custody
simply
for
riding
a
bicycle.
That
was
did
have
a
sign
on
it,
but
it
was
for
sale,
but
the
owner
said
that
she
would
happily
have
just
given
it
away.
O
It
was
just
you
know,
out
on
her
her
yard,
with
a
sign
on
it,
and
so
it's
one
of
those
tragic
circumstances
where
one
has
to
question
whether
there
needed
to
be
any
police
involvement
in
the
situation.
At
all
it
it,
it
seems
to
have
been.
The
call
seems
to
have
been
precipitated
by
basically
a
misunderstanding,
so
there
was
a
911
call
that
there
was
a
theft
of
a
bicycle.
Mr
rogers
had
already
put
the
bicycle
right
back
where
he
borrowed
it
from
and
but
he's
dead
today,
because
of
that
interaction.
O
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
we
do
have
a
lot
of
of
work
to
do
and
we
talked
a
great
deal
last
year
about
doing
diversion.
O
Doing
you
know,
staffing
up
and
creating
this
capacity
to
have
social
workers
respond
to
calls
and
we're
we're
not
there
yet,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
maybe
also
time
to
not
only
hear
from
the
violence
prevention
side
of
the
work
as
we
discussed
today,
but
also
that
office
of
community
health
and
safety
that
is
working
towards
adding
this
capacity.
That
is
obviously
needed.
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that,
because
it's
been
very
distressing
discussion
in
the
community
in
the
last
week
and
then
on
a
positive
note.
O
I
want
to
thank
our
firefighters
for
handling
a
very
extreme
fire
on
attorway
in
lawrenceville.
That
could
very
well
have
gotten
out
of
hand
and
no
no
one
was
hurt.
There
was
a
firefighter
who
went
to
the
hospital,
but
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
for
their
efforts,
because
it
was
it's
a
very,
very
densely
populated
and
densely
built,
very
old
part
of
our
city
and
we're
always
concerned
when
we
have
those
intense
fires
and
really
densely
built
environments.
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
both
those
things.
Thank
you.
