A
B
Thank
you,
so
the
parks
tax
trust
fund
has
been
a
topic
of
conversation
at
this
table
for
a
number
of
years,
but
2022
will
mark
the
first
year
we're
spending
anything
from
the
fund.
The
parks
tax
trust
fund
holds
revenue
received
from
the
half-mill
increase
of
local
property
taxes
that
was
approved
by
referendum
in
november
of
2019.
B
B
Out
of
that
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
will
be
going
towards
salaries.
There's
27
employees
anticipated
in
that
trust
fund
for
next
year.
I
think
three
or
four
of
them
are
existing
employees
that
have
been
transferred
out
of
the
operating
budget
to
the
trust
fund,
but
the
other
24-ish
should
be
new
in
addition
to
the
the
operating
things
out
of
the
trust
fund.
There's
also
capital
major
capital
projects
at
five
and
a
half
million
dollars
would
be
going
towards
park.
B
Reconstruction
using
the
clarks
tax,
trust
fund
dollars
and
there's
also
a
impact
on
the
capital
budget,
because
about
two
million
dollars
will
be
transferred
from
the
parks,
tax,
trust
fund
into
capital,
capital,
vehicle
acquisition,
account
by
pickup
trucks
and
dump
trucks
and
whatnot
for
the
expanded
activities.
B
I
don't
want
to
go
through
everything
on
the
the
park
reconstruction
list,
but
if
councilman
wilson
wants
to
bring
that
up
again,
this
is
the
right
meaning
for
it.
That's
all
I
have
budgetarily,
I
see
we
have
dpw
and
parks
and
rec
here.
Yes,.
A
So
councilman,
coghill
or
either
one
of
us
actually
could
share
this
meeting
because
it's
split
between
the
two
departments:
there
is
the
parking
recreations
on
one
side
and
public
works
on
the
other
side,
and
so
I
want
to
give
public
works.
You're
online,
so
and
parks
and
recreation
is
with
us
so
that
we'll
start
off
with
our
online
friends.
Anything
you
want
to
add,
or
if
there's
a
present,
I'm
not
sure
which
one
of
you
has
a
presentation
or
who's
going
to
lead
us
through
this
park,
recreations
or.
D
Don't
have
a
presentation
per
se,
but
I
will
say
I
worked
with
you
know
previous
director
chapman
on
this
in
the
beginning
of
the
year.
In
these
conversations,
as
well
as
acting
director
vargas,
I
think
that
the.
D
From
my
perspective,
when
we
were
going
through
this
process
earlier
in
the
year-
and
we
had
figured
that
there
was
always
going
to
be
this-
this
kind
of
split
of
you
know
operating
expenses
in
terms
of
staff
in
terms
of
equipment
in
terms
of
basic
maintenance,
and
then
there
was
this
kind
of
capital
side,
and
so
I'd
advise
everybody
involved
that
you
know
we
had
kind
of
identified
what
the
value
of
dollar
was
for
capital
and
those
projects
would
get
adjudicated.
D
You
know
through
the
normal
capital
budget
process,
so
I'm
going
to
be
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
those
things
there
and
looking
at
this
in
terms
of
what
staffing
we
were
doing,
you
know.
E
D
Think
it's
important
to
note
that
there
are
certainly
our
people
that
perform
regular
parks.
Maintenance
in
in
those
public
works.
Divisions
are
fully
committed
to
working
in
in
the
parks.
Year-Round,
there's
also
some
classes
of
employees
that
work
in
the
parks
sometimes
and
those
classes
of
employees
would
be
folks,
like
you
know,
some
of
our
cement,
finishers
and
laborers
in
our
construction
division.
Some
of
our
tree
crews
are
working
both
kind
of
in
our
street
trees
and
then
in
our
parks
assisting
with
forestry
operations.
D
So
there
are
some
classes
of
employees
that
were
located
in
public
works,
operating
budget
related
to
pool
maintenance
where
all
of
our
pools
are
located
in
the
city
park
that
we
felt
it
might
be
advantageous
to
move
those
folks
over
to
the
trust
fund.
And
then
we
would
take
those
transfers
and
use
that
as
an
opportunity
to
create
positions
for
pruner
for
cement
finisher,
whereby
we
would
then
be.
D
You
know,
supplementing
work
that
happens
in
the
park,
and
so
we
were
still
kind
of
you
know,
speaking
true
to
the
to
that
piece
of
it,
and
so.
F
Sure
I
just
had
a
couple
of
things
I
wanted
to
add
specific
to
the
money
that
would
be
coming
to
the
parks
and
recreation
department.
Two
things
that
we
were
really
thinking
about.
One
is
the
user
experience
across
all
of
our
programmed
areas.
F
There
are
specific
things
like
being
able
to
have.
You
know
good
functioning,
gym
equipment
for
the
folks
who
come
through
our
weight
rooms,
having
the
ability
to
make
sure
that
anything
we're
doing
in
one
center
can
happen
in
all
centers,
and
that
would
include
things
like
wreck
to
tech,
our
pools
and
the
pool
experience
that
folks
have
so
upgrading
some
amenities.
Like
the
lockers.
I
don't
know
the
last
time
anyone's
been
to
highland
park,
but
those
are
in
dire
need
of
of
repair
and
and
upgrade,
and
what
it'll
do
is
increase.
F
The
user
experience
the
direct
experience
that
residents
are
having
in
our
facilities
pretty
immediately
and
they're
things
that
we
just
haven't
had
the
ability
to
to
do
before,
and
on
top
of
that,
we've
also
been
thinking
about
our
internal
capacity.
So,
what's
really
going
to
help
us
as
it
relates
to
being
able
to
expand
the
work
that
we
do
and
expand
programming,
and
that's
where
the
few
positions,
I
think
we
have
three
positions
that
are
for
our
department
in
this
budget.
F
It's
specific
to
wanting
to
be
able
to
take
the
good
work
that
we're
doing
and
increase
how
we're
able
to
do
it
and
where
we're
able
to
do
it.
So
those
are
the
kind
of
the
two
considerations
that
we
have
been
discussing
as
it
relates
to
the
money
that
goes
to
the
parks
and
rec
department,
out
of
the
trust
fund
or
out
of
the
parks
just.
A
Anything
else:
okay,
all
right,
so
we're
joined
by
councilman,
strausberger
councilman
gross
online
in
person
we
have
what's
a
person
called
wilson,
councilman
laval.
So,
let's
start
off
with
our
online
council
people,
let's
I'll,
do
it
in
kind
of
the
order.
I
see
them
count
and
whether
I
name
them
councilwoman
strasberger.
Anything
from
you.
G
G
G
H
H
H
F
D
Yes,
so
we
have
approximately.
C
D
Of
these
positions,
seven
of
these
positions,
I'm
just
following
up
on
the
map.
Seven
of
these
positions
are
existing
positions
that
are
transferred
over
and
the
remaining
are
all
new
positions
that
would
not
be
funded
without
the
parks
tax.
Additionally,
with
those
transfers,
all
those
transfers
created
new
positions
for
work
force
that
are
in
directly
in
that
support
parks
in
some
fashion.
Such
I
mentioned
tree
tree
pruner
and
cement
finishers.
So
those
are
those
are
an
additional
four,
I
believe
so
that
would
not
have
been
funded
otherwise,
but.
D
Those
positions
that
they
replaced
internally,
the
way
I
would
classify
that
is,
like
I
said,
cement,
finisher
and
tree
printer,
were
two
positions
where
you
know
you
know,
approximately
half
of
that
workload
is
directly
related
to
parks.
D
So
it's
not
like.
I
took
this
position
and
say
it's
not
like.
I
took
the
parks
tax
position
and
when
we
did
the
budget
transfer
that
I
could
use
that
to
create
something
non-parts
related.
They
were
still
parks.
It
was,
they
were
still
parks
related
just
not
to
the
intensity
of
the
folks
that
are
located
in
the
park.
Stacks.
A
G
Thank
you.
No,
you
answer
my
question.
I'm
just
glad
to
see
that
that
we
are
able
to
hire
staff
internally.
With
some
of
this
money,
I
mean,
I
know
that
there
was
just
a
significant
amount
of
public.
G
You
know
public
polarization
around
the
tax
itself
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we're
hiring
so
many
new
positions,
and
I
hope
that
that
could
continue.
So
the
second
question,
I'm
not
sure
how
we
can
really
get
to
this,
because
positions
are
positions,
but
then
it's
the.
I
guess
it's
the
parks
themselves
that
are
that
can
be
the
parks
and
the
sort
of
projects
themselves.
G
That
really
can
be
measured
against
this,
and
that
is
sort
of
a
a
rubric
to
determine
equity
and
need,
and
all
the
different
things
that
you
know
we
were
talking
about
throughout
the
debate
around
this
this
tax
and
whether
to
sort
of
ratify
the
referendum
as
it
counts
as
a
body.
G
B
G
D
There
is,
I
mean
the
original
study
we
referenced,
that
in
terms
of
that
that
equity
conversation,
which
took
all
those
factors
into
waksha
environmental
condition,
you
know
response
to
call
to
invest
in
basic
maintenance
so
which
we
consider
as
like
things
like
replacing
a
playground,
or
you
know,
repairing
a
basketball
court.
You
know
things
of
those
issues,
so
so
we
do
factor
that
in
you
know,
we
present
that
information
via
the
capital
budget
process.
D
So
you
know
we
hand
over
that
that
information
to
omb
and
then
it's
deliberated
in
those
capital
budget
forms.
G
And
so
is
that
currently
baked
into
the
process
as
sort
of
a
mandate
or
requirement
that
you're
aware
of
at
least
in
your
phase
of
it
or
is
it
in
another
phase?
Is
it
something
that
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
is
15
years
from
now,
when
many
of
the
people
who
are
who
are
here
now
at
the
onset
of
this,
the
implementation
of
this
tax
might
not
be
here.
G
Will
this
be
baked
into
the
process
and
remain
in
the
process?
Is
that
is
it
kind
of
it
in
place
and
that's
in
a
codified
way.
B
A
councilwoman
if
I
could
they're
currently
following
the
cpfc
process,
so
the
the
capital
scoring
so
the
things
that
are
highly
ranked,
make
it
into
the
regular
capital
budget.
The
things
that
do
not
are
then
ranked
against
each
other
within
the
parks
trust
fund,
so
the
the
process
is
codified,
but
the
process
for
this
specific
trust
fund
is
not
if
that
makes
sense.
Okay,.
G
That's
helpful.
It
seems
like
an
opportunity,
so
just
wanted
to
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
that
that
process
there.
Okay,
thank
you!
No,
I
don't!
I
don't
have
any
other
questions,
I'm
happy
to
turn
it
over
to
other
council
members.
I
It's
good
to
see
people
here
from
person,
rack
and
see
you
again
director.
I
do
want
to
come
back
to
that
question,
about
making
capital
budget
decisions
and
how
you
used.
The
parks
conservancy's
plan
to
inform
sounds
like
even
maybe
the
cfpc's
considerations.
I
I
wasn't
real
clear,
but
I'm
gonna
park
that
for
a
minute-
and
I
have
I
have
to
follow
up
on
the
question
that
we
asked
earlier
today
about-
I
asked
about
pools,
but
I
left
out
the
part
about
pay
scales
and
lifeguards,
so
I
am
enthusiastic
about
the
additional
positions
that
you
were
able
to
add
both
in
parks
and
rec
and
dpw,
and
we're
really
we're
really
happy
to
see
that,
and
even
though
I
I
have
concerns
about
the
parks,
trust
fund,
I'm
really
happy
that
it
is
supporting
its
operations
and
the
payroll
part
of
operations.
I
Could
you
maybe
revisit
our
conversations
from
earlier
in
the
year
about
pay
scales
for
our
seasonal
employees,
even
our
our
year-round
employees
and
like
life
cards,
but
also
some
of
them?
Some
of
them
are
part-time.
Some
of
them
are
full-time
and
just
kind
of
refresh
our
minds
about
that,
and,
and
talk
about
what
kind
of
paid
we'll
see
in
our
goal
to
increase
all
of
the
workers
who
were
not
making
even
fifteen
dollars
an
hour.
F
Yep,
I
can
thank
you.
Thank
you
councilman.
I
can
address
that.
I
you
know
we.
We
came
boldly
forward
with
a
proposal
for
15
an
hour
for
all
of
our
seasonal
and
full
year.
Hires.
We
worked
really
closely
with
the
budget
office
to
try
to
make
those
numbers
work
and
they
didn't.
F
They
didn't
work
to
the
scale
that
we
were
able
to
do
it
across
the
board
for
all
of
the
folks
who
would
be
included
in
our
operating
budget
and
in
our
trust
funds,
but
it
was
something
that
we
put
forward
and
that
we
pushed
to
want
to
see.
That
said,
we
did
work
with
the
budget
office
on
being
able
to
arrange
for
a
different
sort
of
scale
for
the
lifeguards
that
is
better
than
it
was
previously.
F
It's
not
perfect.
It's
certainly.
You
know
something
that
we're
going
to
need
to
continue
to
work
at
together,
but
the
the
scale
that's
in
there
now
for
lifeguards
allows
for
greater
flexibility
for
our
aquatics
team
to
make
sure
that
they
can.
You
know,
pay
lifeguards
and
pay
more
advanced
lifeguards
and
make
sure
that
we're
competitive,
but
it's
certainly
an
area
that
needs
work
and
it's
something
that
we're
willing.
You
know
we
we
want
to.
We
want
to
see
as
well.
I
I
I
get
we
heard
that
loud
and
clear
when
we
were
struggling
with
the
issue
in
the
summer
in
2021,
but
I
think
that's
definitely
an
area
that
we
should
continue
to
look
at
and
we
it
may
be
more
complicated
than
you
would
expect
on
face
value,
but
I
feel
like
it's
worth
putting
the
energy
and
effort
into
so
I
won't
spend
more
time
here,
but
I
will
be
asking
what
council
can
do
to
make
that
happen.
I
I
think
it's
really
councilwoman.
We
agree.
Thank
you
and
similarly
I
want
to
ask
a
really
open-ended
slightly
different
question,
which
is
about
summer
employment
and
the
learning
earn-
and
I
know
this
is
kind
of
councilman
burgess's,
one
of
his
priorities,
legislative
way
that
he
helped
us
expand.
I
But
a
couple
of
years
ago,
while
I
was
on
council,
we
shifted
the
administration
of
the
learn
and
earn
program
away
from
being
completely
in-house
and
managed
by
parks
and
rec
to
being
in
the
partnership
with
the
county's
partner
for
work,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
to
address.
I
You
know
if
that,
if
that,
if
you
feel
it's
meeting
your
needs
in
its
current
model,
because
there's
certainly
some
ups
and
downs
some
gives
and
takes,
I
think,
to
having
created
the
county
partnership.
I
want
to
say
into
the
record
we
when
I
voted
for
it.
We
were
told
that
we
would
have
placements
only
from
city
residents
and
that
our
dollars
would
absolutely
be
carefully
tracked
so
that
we
weren't
subsidizing.
I
You
know
summer
employment
for
a
county
resident
that
you
know
nothing
to
do
with
the
city,
university,
residency
or
city
placement,
and
so
I
was
happy
to
get
a
learn
and
earn
placement
this
summer
in
my
council
office
and
while
she
was
a
student
at
the
university
of
pittsburgh,
she
was
not
a
city
resident
and
you
know
I
didn't
kick
her
out
and
it
was
too
late
to
get
a
different
placement,
but
and
she
was
lovely
and
we
were
happy
to
have
her.
I
But
that
was
not
the
way
I
expected
the
program
was
working,
and
so
it
raised
a
bit
of
a
red
flag.
So
I
just
wanted
to
see.
Firstly,
if
you
all
are
filling
the
positions
you
want
to
fill
from,
learn
and
earn,
and
also
you
know
what
is
your
role
in
administrating
the
program.
A
So
before
before
they
answer
that
question,
I
can
answer
the
budgetary
question.
There
are
two
learn
and
learn
now
has
two
integrated
but
separate
programs.
The
first
one
is
the
program
that
we're
all
familiar
with,
which
the
kids
under
18
all
get
jobs,
and
that's
that
those
dollars
are
paid
for
by
the
city
for
specialty
residents.
There
is
a
secondary
program
for
those
18
to
I
think
24
and
those
dollars
are
raised
separately
from
the
money
we
give
them
that's
raised
by
corporations
and
by
the
county,
and
they
then
subsidize
the
older
kids.
A
So
our
money
for
the
most
part
plays
for
the
younger
kids,
the
14
to
18
year
olds,
who
were
in
summer
program,
so
the
intern
you
had
was
paid
for
by
dollars,
not
the
city
dollars.
They
were
paid
by
matching
dollars
that
came
from
other
sources.
Now
that
part
I
know,
and
so
I'll
let
parker,
because
I'm
I
still
sit
on
that
board
that
oversees
the
program.
So
I
know
fiscally
that
part
of
it,
but
I'll.
Let
ms
vargas
kind
of
piggyback
and
enter
her
sense
of
it.
Sure.
F
Definitely
so
the
the
internal
city
kind
of
oversight
of
the
program
is
actually
through
the
pittsburgh
partnership,
which
is
in
hr,
and
so
they
are
the
direct
kind
of
staff
at
the
city
level
that
are
more
involved
in
the
day-to-day,
as
it
relates
to
recruitment
of
of
young
people
and
assisting
with
placement
so
they're
in
a
different
department.
That
said,
we
as
a
department
have,
we
do
continue
to
have,
learn
and
earn
students
who
work
with
us
in
a
couple
different
capacities.
F
We
had
learning
students
out
at
our
pools
at
our
rec
centers,
and
we
also
did
a
couple
of
unique
programs
with
our
park
rangers
around.
You
know
being
more
involved
in
outdoor
naturalist
kind
of
education
in
the
parks.
So
I
think
last
year
we
probably
had
about
40.
I
could
get
the
exact
number
that
we
personally
worked
to
host
and
have
at
all
of
our
centers
and
we
love
having
them.
F
So
it
is
still
a
program
that
we
enjoy,
having
young
people
being
part
of
seeing
what
the
community
operations
looks
like
for
us,
but
as
it
relates
to
the
oversight
of
the
actual
program.
It's
now
at
the
pittsburgh
partnership,
which
is
a
part
of
the
hr
department.
H
I
can
tell
you:
there
was
a
a
time
when
it
first
started
in
the
early
stages
and
I'm
going
back
to
director
ashley
and
at
that
time
we
did
have
a
program
that
we
started
it
and
we
did
it
for
one
summer
in
parks
and
I
think
him
and
I
we
were
able
to
hire
about
14
youth.
H
I
And
now
it's
administrative
out
of
hr
and
you're.
Getting
I
mean
40
is
a
lot
of
people.
So
that's
really,
you
know
good
placement
numbers.
I
would
think-
and
again
I
won't
take
up
too
much
time
here,
but
I
do
have
some
concerns
that
if,
while
we're
not
spending
any
of
our
money
on
the
over
18,
the
18
to
24
age
range
that
as
councilman
burgess
just
told
us.
I
Do
we
so
does
that
mean
we're
not
there
we're
not
holding
the
program
to
any
of
residency
restrictions,
and
it
seems
that
those
aren't
actually
mutually
exclusive.
Even
though
we're
not
funding
it,
we
could
still
have
a
residency
requirement
as
a
host,
so
just
just
a
thought
there,
but
thank
you
for
the
clarification
all
right,
so
that
was
the
youth
employment
and
that
was
lifeguards
and
seasonal
employees
and
then
just
to
come
back
to
this
the.
I
How
are
we
allocating
our
capital
budgets
and
parks
improvements
when
you're
talking
about
tennis,
courts
or
concession
stands
or
locker
rooms
or
playgrounds?
I
want
to
say
here
what
I
said
in
many
of
the
parks
conservancy
hearings
that
happened
mostly
before
covid.
It
was
really
one
of
them
was
a
week
before
we
went
into
lockdown.
I
I
We
know
that
there's
some
council
legislation
to
renew
one
of
the
52
agreements,
it's
kind
of
a
master
cooperative
agreement
and
what
I
think
we
as
the
council
are
opposed
to.
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
everyone,
but
we've
had
many
discussions
publicly
that
the
parks
conservancy
should
not
be
directing
parks
projects
across
the
city.
What
is
what,
if
they
have
been
instrumental
in
helping
us
do,
planning
and
fundraising
for
were,
are
rad
parks
right,
the
five
big
regional
parks,
and
so
it
is
under.
I
So
I
want
to
just
make
sure
I
say
that
so
you're
clear
about
where
I
stand,
and
so
we
we
can
all
see
it's
in
if
the
public
can
go.
Look
at
the
proposed
capital
budgets
and
it's
really
well
marked-
I
want
to
give
everyone
credit.
It's
really
well
marked
which
projects
would
be
using
capital
funds
out
of
the
trust
fund
and
again
just
so.
No
one
gets
confused.
I
There's
a
welcome
amount
of
the
parks
funds
going
into
operations
and
payroll,
so
it
isn't
just
it
isn't:
a
10
million
dollar
capital
fund
thought,
and
so
you
can
see
that
I
think
everyone's
actually
supportive
of
where
the
proposed
allocations
are
for
2022,
both
in
the
operating
budget
and
in
the
capital
budget,
and
so
that's
not
really
a
grievance
that
I
have
here
today
about
the
proposed
2022
budget.
It's
not
that
it's
about
really
this.
I
This
bigger
other
conversation
about
how
transparent
and
accountable
and
inclusive
are
the
conversations
about
allocating
funds
in
the
future
and
how
the
way
that
those
allocations
are
proposed.
So
that
wasn't
a
question.
So
that
was
just
a
statement.
Sorry-
and
that's
all
I
have
mr
chair,
thank
you.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you,
ladies
for
being
here
today.
I
don't
have
any
rad
parks.
You
know,
in
fact,
I
think
the
closest
one
is
miles
and
miles
away.
I,
I
would
venture
to
say
very
small
percentage
of
the
people
who
live
in
my
district,
actually
travel
and
use
the
rad
parks,
just
because
you
know
through
the
tunnels
and
over
the
rivers.
However,
I
do
have
some
really
great
bigger
small
parks.
Is
I
guess
the
way
I
can
describe
them?
E
In
fact,
when
rev
was
we're
visiting
with
the
with
the
vice
president,
the
first
thing
I'll
never
forget,
rev,
said
to
me.
This
is
why
we're
bickering
about
you
know
what
we're
gonna
do
with
the
parks
tax
money.
He
said,
I
don't
have
this
brooklyn
memorial
park,
you
know
so,
and
you
know
what
he's
probably
right,
and
I
want
him
to
have
that
I
do.
I
want
every
district
to
have
that.
I
I'm
really
pleased
with
my
parks.
You
know
you
know
moore
park
brookline
park
phillips
park.
E
You
know
all
very
unique,
very
beautiful
places
to
visit
and
therefore
I
think
that's
why
we
don't
travel
to
the
red
parks,
but
we
because
we
have
really
nice
parks
that
are
right
in
our
backyard.
So
but
of
course,
these
need
continual
constant
investments,
whether
it's
in
the
you
know
the
paving
the
playground
equipment
the
fields.
E
You
know
all
that
comes
with
a
great
deal
of
expense,
so,
which
is
why
I
argued
early
on
about
you
know,
making
sure
we,
you
know
divvied
that
money
up
to
where
all
the
parks
were
touched.
But
but
I
do
feel
like
you
know,
every
district
should
have
parks
like
that.
You
know
it
helps,
helps
promote
sports,
it
helps
promote
activities.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
going
on
at
all
of
our
parks.
E
At
any
given
moment,
you
can
go
to
brooklyn
memorial
park
and
there
are
200
300
people
there
100
at
the
deck
hockey
rink
100
at
the
baseball
field,
100
on
the
basketball
courts
and
in
the
rec
center.
So
so
I
really
really
appreciate
and
love
the
fact
that
the
investments
that
we
have
going
into
those
parks
as
well.
So
I
was
very
pleased
as
councilman
gross
said.
E
You
know,
I
think
most
people
should
be
pleased
with
next
year's
allocations
so
and-
and
I
really
want
to
a
director
hornstein-
I
I
really
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
phillips
park
for
getting
the
crews
out
there
and
picking
up
all
the
dead
wood
that
has
fallen
from
these
enormous
beautiful
trees.
You
know
but
they're
just
kind
of
getting
old
at
this
point,
and
you
know
we
had
lumber
all
over
the
place
and
we
were
able
to
clean
that
up.
So
so
it's
really
nice
and
the
people
live.
E
There
are
really
appreciative
of
it.
So
so
so
without
that
being
said,
you
know,
I
have
constant
requests
as
far
as
the
operation
hours
of
the
rec
center,
the
brookline
in
particular.
I
have
a
quilting
class
and
they
want
in
you
know,
and
they
love
it.
You
know
what
I
mean.
I
mean.
I
love
that
I
love
that
our
facilities
are
used
not
only
just
for
kids,
but
everybody
and
anybody
in
between.
So
you
know,
I've
not
been
to
the
quilting
classes
myself,
but
I
know
they
want
that
open.
E
F
I
can
speak
to
that
for
sure.
It's
actually
good
news.
You
know
so.
Through
the
last
year,
we've
really
been
coming
out
of
covid,
particularly
having
a
hiring
freeze
for
a
while
and
really
needing
to
staff
up
to
be
able
to
run
our
hours
at
full
capacity
as
we
had
prior
to
covid
right
now.
We
are
on
track
for
january
3rd,
center's,
open
full
regular
hours
and
we'll
be
able
to
do
permits
still
we're
still
going
to
have.
You
know
mandatory
mask
wearing
in
indoors
and
all
of
that,
but
we
will.
F
We
have
been
able
to
hire
a
number
of
rec
leaders,
which
is
an
area
where
we
were
missing,
like
nine,
which
doesn't
sound
like
a
lot,
but
we're
already
a
small
team,
and
that
definitely
is
a
lot
as
it
relates
to
being
able
to
manage
as
many
hours
as
we
do
so.
The
quilting
class
will
definitely
be
getting
back
in
and
I
will
I
know
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
and
I'll.
Let
her
know.
E
That's
that's
great.
They
promised
me
a
pair
of
mittens,
so
yeah,
okay,
that's
that's!
That
is
good
news.
You
know
really
I
love
it
being
open
and
I
didn't
realize
there
was
such
interest
in
it,
but
you
know
I'm
just
so
happy
that
we're
gonna
make
it
available
again
to
them.
What's
that
so,
oh
crocheting,
building
crochet!
E
Is
it
all
the
same?
I
don't
know
so
anyway,
so
anyway,
the
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
touch
on
what
were
the
pools?
You
know,
madam
president,
myself
and
councilwoman
gross.
We
you
know
in
in
lieu
of
brookline
pool
being
you
know,
rebuilt
we
visited
dormont
pole,
which
was
really
nice
and
to
what
councilwoman
gross
was
saying
before
about
you
know,
paid
individuals.
The
first
very
first
person
we
ran
into
there
was
a
lifeguard.
We
had
a
nice
conversation
with
her.
E
She
was
very
good,
very
well
trained,
and
you
know
we
just
started
talking
to
her
and
she
said.
Oh,
I
worked
for
the
city
and
I
saw
you
did
and
yeah
so
she
went
from.
I
think
twelve
dollars
an
hour
to
fifteen
dollars
an
hour.
So
we
lost
her
because
of
you
know
because
of
the
the
wage
I
think,
more
than
anything
and
dormant
offers
a
beautiful
setting
and
everything
else.
So
so
so
so
that
was
just
a
really
nice
visit.
E
It
gave
us
a
little
insight
as
to
what
dormont
does
and
then
we
created
the
voucher
program,
which
was
really
great
and
put
it
in
a
timely
manner.
I'm
just
curious
as
to
the
numbers
on
that.
Do
we
have
a
number
as
to
how
many
vouchers
were
used
or
what
we
paid
the
dorm
room
poll.
F
We
do
you
know,
and
I
did
not
bring
that
with
me.
I
can
certainly
get
it
to
you.
I
do
know
that
it
was
hundreds
of
people,
hundreds.
F
Definitely
I
think
we
were
paying
somewhere
like
like
5
000
ish.
It
was
right.
C
F
That
area
right
in
the
5
000
area,
but
it
was
certainly
something
that
residents
appreciated,
and
so
I
do
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
creative
and
and
thinking
of
making
that
connection.
We
had
great
weekly
conversations
with
the
folks
at
doramon
as
well,
and
I
I
do
think
that
our
aquatics
director
and
the
folks
at
doramon
have
kind
of
built
a
nice
lasting
relationship
based
off
of
that
as
well.
So
I
agree.
E
Yeah,
I'm
just
curious
more
than
anything
I
know
there
was
many
used.
I
I
visited
brooklyn
and
I
asked
john
the
director
there
and
he
said
oh
yeah
they're,
coming
in
almost
on
a
daily
basis.
You
know
collecting
them,
so
so
that's
really
encouraging
and
I
would
encourage
us
to
continue
that
with
them.
You
know
they
actually
reached
out
to
me.
You
know
in
lieu
of
the
pools
our
pools
not
being
able
to
open.
So
that's
what
type
of
community
this
is.
They
were
so
happy
to
do
that
for
us.
E
They
they
entertained
us
that
day
they
had
us
over
at
the
the
swimming
pool,
and
you
know
for
them
to
reach
out
to
us,
like
that.
I
thought
was
fantastic
and
the
reason
why
I
said
I'd
like
to
continue.
That
is
because,
even
though
mr
hornstein
has
promised
me
more,
pork
whirlpool
will
be
finished
by
summer.
That
only
you
know
is
part
of
my
in
fact
I'll
take
beach
view
where
I'm
from
you
know
we
have
like.
I
want
to
say
you
know:
18
000
people
live
there.
E
Okay,
so
and
we
don't
have
a
pool
that
you
can
really
walk
to
moore
pool
was
just
kind
of
too
far.
We
could
go
up
in
the
council
and
kill
smith's
district
into
yeah.
E
Believe
me,
I
tread
slowly
in
your
district,
but
and
quietly,
but.
E
So
so
now,
I
would
encourage
us
to
continue
that
you
know
they.
They
want
to
continue
it.
They
they
love,
helping
us
out,
and
I
thought
it
was
fantastic
and
particularly
for
the
people
in
the
upper
end
of
brookline
in
beechview
and
really
parts
of
councilwoman
kale
smith's
district.
You
know
you're
really
the
closest
to
that
pool.
I
mean
you
know
you
talk
about
parts
of
banksville
there.
You
know
it's
in
their
backyard,
so
so
I
would
love
to
see
that
continue.
I'd
love
to
get
those
numbers.
E
Yeah
yeah,
you
know
luhan,
we
we
negotiated
with
them
as
to
so
it
didn't
cost
any
more
than
it
does
for
to
go
to
the
city
pools.
But
I
really
believe
if
we
wanted
to
take
a
hard
line
they
would
have
given
to
us
for
free.
I
really
did
you
know
so
so
they
were
just
happy
to
help
out.
That's
the
type
of
people
they
are
there
they're
great
neighbors
they're
in
my
backyard
literally,
and
you
know
whether
it's
our
police
department,
whether
it's
the
management
that
we
were
dealing
with
on
the
pools.
E
You
know
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
dorm
on
community
and
there's
them
lending
their
hand
to
us.
I
was
really
really
happy
and
really
thankful
to
madam
president
and
councilwoman
gross
to
come
out
and
cement
that
deal
with
us,
because
it
was
important
at
the
time
so
so
yeah.
H
We
all
work
together
and
we
can
make
things
happen
and
it's
really
easy
to
make
get
the
paperwork
and
process
yeah.
E
Yeah
yeah
and
no
doubt-
and
you
know
this
pool
was
only
it's
not
only
just
a
place
for
people
to
swim.
This
is
really
a
destination.
I
think
it's,
the
largest
body
of
water
largest
pool
all
around
other.
I
think
highland
park,
rivals
it
or
I'm
sorry.
Your
north
park
rivals
it
as
far
as
size.
Not,
I
think
you
have
more
water,
but
we
have
a
bigger
area
so
either
way,
you're
allowed
floating
devices,
and
I
encourage
people
from
all
over
the
city.
E
F
E
That's
great
it
was.
It
was
really
great.
So
so
anyway,
that's
really
it
for
me.
You
know
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you,
mr
chair
thanks,
mr
wilson,.
J
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you,
director
and
lillian
good
to
see
you
and
thank
you
assistant,
director
strelik.
What's
the
question,
I
have
to
ask.
J
Oh
well,
you
know,
I
think
I
think
the
question
I
was
wondering
is
how
many,
how
many
positions
did
we
fill
with
the
parks,
tax,
money.
J
Okay,
one
of
the
things
I
was
wanted
to
just
shed
some
light
on
is
just
you
know
what
the
campaign
was
saying
going
around.
We
were
going
to
do,
which
I
think
that
number
was
in
the
30s
of
employees.
Any
reason
you
know
did
we
further
evaluate
why
we
only
needed
22
or
now
I
just
want
to
what
I
want
to
just
touch
on
here
is
just
what
you
know
the
public
voted
for
versus
you.
B
D
So
yeah,
I
can
actually
address
some
of
that,
so
this
is
the
first
year
of
the
parks
tax,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
as
we
were
looking
at
this.
You
know
from
the
practical
perspective
of
just
you
know:
how
do
we
implement
this?
This
great
benefit
to
the
city
from
the
public
works
side.
Specifically,
additional
workforce
requires
additional
equipment,
so
I
need
more
trucks.
I
need
more
mowers.
I
need
you
know
those
types
of
things.
D
And
I
also
need
a
little
bit
more
leadership,
ultimately
in
the
course
of
the
over
the
next
several
years
from
the
public
works
perspective,
we're
going
to
have
created
via
this
parks
tax-
and
you
know,
obviously
this
is
subject
to
change.
You
know
as
we
get
more
input
and
we
see
how
things
are
going,
but
it's
in.
D
Of
47
to
50
positions,
the
issues
that
we
have
is
is
that,
in
order
to
manage
that
that
expectation,
if
I
hired
all
50
of
those
positions
right
now,
I
would
have
no
vehicles
to
put
them
yet.
D
So
I
need
to
recapitalize
our
fleet
and
our
equipment
to
a
certain
respect,
and
I
need
to
get
the
leadership
positions
in
place
first,
so
that
when
we
onboard
those
labor
folks
that
you
know
they
will
have
you
know
the
guidance
and
training
necessary
to
kind
of
to
get
them
so
that
process
takes
about
three
years.
D
D
Responds
to
that,
and
so
this
year
there
was-
I
don't
have
the
exact
figure
in
front
of
me,
but
it
was.
It
was
significant
in
terms
of
you
know
how
much
of
the
parks
tax.
C
F
Counseling,
can
I
add
a
little
bit
to
that
on
the
rec
side,
just
because
there
are
really
important
rec
programs
like
capital
projects
that
are
happening,
cali
guttman's,
a
great
example
thaddeus
stevens
another
and
for
us.
Similarly,
as
we
build
capacity,
more
wonderful
centers,
we're
going
to
need
staff
for
those
centers
as
well.
So
one
of
the
staff
members
that
we've
added
to
this
year
is
a
record
leader
one.
F
If
you
look
at
the
next
five
years,
there's
the
addition
of
additional
center
directors,
with
the
belief
that
we
would
be
opening
more
recreation
centers
that
there'll
be
more
going
on
in
in
different
neighborhoods
based
off
of
the
capital
projects.
So
there
would
be
down
the
line
for
us
to
have
the
capacity
to
program.
We
will
need
more
people
as
well,
and
that's
part
of
the
conversations
we've
been
having
around
this
tax
as
well.
J
H
Hi
councilman,
I
think
that
imparts
what
we
were
looking
at
when
we
received
our
funding
and
not
based
on
the
positions
but
on
the
funding
we
looked
at
the
money
that
would
really
benefit
the
residents
for
our
centers.
So
these
were
the
items
that
we
thought
that
the
residents
it
was
their
tax
dollars
and
we
want
they
would
want
to
see
something
that
would
help
them
like
when
they
would
come
into
our
rec
centers.
So
we
figured
when
we
looked
inside
our
rec
centers.
What
do
we
need?
H
Well,
we
sure
needed
upgraded
lockers
in
our
swimming
pools
for
sure
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
that.
So
we
realized
that
this
money
would
be
really
good
time
to
start
upgrading
all
the
lockers.
In
our
pool
systems
we
haven't
been
able
to
upgrade
any
of
our
gym
exercise
equipment,
it's
really
in
need
of
repair.
H
This
would
really
benefit
the
residents
to
come
into
our
rec
centers
and
have
some
new
equipment,
because
some
of
it's
pretty
old,
so
we
looked
at
the
park
tax
as
being
a
good
place
to
start
where
the
residents
would
enjoy
the
benefit
of
this
part
tax
money
that
they
provided
to
upgrade
and
update
our
center.
So
I'm
over
time
we'll
spend
each
year
doing
a
little
bit
in
each
one
of
the
centers.
As
far
as
that,
money
will
go.
That's
the
things
that
we
looked
at
when
our
parks
department.
How
would
help
the
residents.
J
Yeah,
I
you
know,
I'm
sure
that
he's
done,
not
that
I
don't
disagree.
I
just
I
just
want
to
keep
going
back
to
you
know
the
point
that
you
know
some
people
believe
they're
going
and
hitting
the
lever
to
you
know,
increase
I'm
sorry
to
increase
their
taxes
was
because
of
the
to
make
things
more
equitable
and
that's
really
mindful
of
if
we
keep
going
back
to
the
places
where
we
spent
money
in
the
past.
That
was
the
whole.
J
J
H
J
J
Great,
I
want
to
go
through
the
list
that
was
provided
that
you
know
the
parks
and
services
he
went
on
this
big
campaign
about
they
had
a
list
of
one
to
twenty,
and
so
like
baxter
park
was
number
one.
J
Then
it
goes
down
to
twenty,
and
so
I'm
just
I
don't
know
if
it's
fair
to
compare.
You
know
what
we're
spending
on,
but
I
just
wanted
to
try
to
understand
you
know,
because
they,
even
though
you
know
some,
would
disagree,
and
maybe
I
don't
fully
agree
with
how
the
you
know
they
measured
or
how
they
quantified,
where,
where
there's
a
reduced,
there's
reduced
equity,
but
we
have
extra
parts
baxter
park.
Has
that
been
done.
J
J
D
D
Yeah,
so
I
mean,
I
think
the
first
thing
I
got
to
caution.
Everybody
is
that
in
the
capital
budget
process,
at
least
from
the
public
works
perspective,
you
know
we
put
forth
a
lot
more
work
than
we
know
will
ever
get
funded,
because
we
think
that
the
dialogue
of
the
ctfc
and
the
presentation
information
helps
to
kind
of
for
us
prioritize
that
workflow,
and
so
I
think,
that's
one
piece
of
the
puzzle.
D
This
you
know
the
councilwoman
gross
is
kind
of
earlier
points
and
earlier
concerns
I
mean.
Certainly
I
think
it's
valid
to
question
the
you
know
adequacy
of
the
the
work
that
the
parks
conservancy
has
done.
I
still
see
it
as
a
piece
of
information.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
guiding
principle
and
the
reason
that
I
favor
and
advocate
going
through
the
cpfc
process,
at
least
at
this
time,
and
certainly
open
to
other
other
processes
here
that
are
that
are
equitable.
D
Was
that,
ultimately,
you
know
those
are
decisions
that
that
the
council
authorizes
and
it's
fairly
seen
and
deliberated
throughout
the
process,
and
I
didn't
want
any
perception
I
want.
We
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible
about
what
we
were
putting
forth
and
where
those
decisions
were
made.
J
Okay,
yeah
because
I
believe
that's
also
in
our
charter,
the
language
of
it
being
equitable,
and
so
not
that
these
other
ones
that
you
know
didn't
make
it
on
a
prior
list,
but
you
know
not
that
there's
only
done,
but
maybe
they
don't
need
done
with
the
parks
tax
money.
Maybe
they
should
be
fit
into,
like
the
other
part
of
the
budget,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand.
J
You
know
that
aspect
of
it.
So
because
I
mean
I
do
like
you
know
having
some
sort
of
way
we're
quantifying.
You
know
an
equitable
plan
and
you
know
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
whole
city.
I
do
know
that
springhole
park
news
done,
there's
several
other
parks
and
other
areas
need
them
as
well.
J
Okay,
now
is
this:
is
this
something
that
will
be
like
moving
forward
every
year?
That
we'll
just
be
spending?
Is
a
plan
to
continue
to
spend
like
x,
amount
on
capital
each
year
of
the
parks
fund.
D
J
All
right
for
the
my
last
question
is
just
around
the
polls,
so
the
polls
are
last
year.
You
know
we
we
have
as
much
staff,
and
the
conversation
was
that
we
really
all
that
training
starts
now
and
how
are
we
doing
with
that?.
F
We're
good,
we
have
already
been
planning
for
both
our
training,
which
is
actually
going
to
look
really
different
this
year
as
well.
We
have
a
co-current
challenge
of
the
oliver
bath
house
being
under
construction,
which
is
our
typical
training
location.
So
we've
been
working
with
shelly.
We
actually
have
a
meeting
next
week,
specifically
around
recruitment
and
getting
out
to
schools.
Now
with
covid
schools
open,
it's
gonna
be
a
lot
easier
to
do
some
of
the
traditional
outreach
that
we
were
able
to
do
prior
to
the
pandemic.
I
mean
that
does
start
now.
F
So
we
are,
we
are
working
hard
at
getting
the
recruitment
season
started,
we're
also
looking
at
our
training
and
we're
looking
at
even
getting
a
couple
of
our
lifeguards
from
last
year,
who
are
still
on
payroll,
even
through
the
winter
months,
who
are
going
to
be
kind
of
co-trainers
with
us.
So
it
increases
our
capacity
to
be
able
to
train
more
frequently
one
of
the
challenges.
I'll
just
mention
this
now,
because
you
guys
will
be
getting
an
email
from
me,
councilwoman,
kale
smith
and
councilman
gross.
F
We
are
actively
looking
for
indoor
pools.
You
know
oliver
bathhouse
being
our
only
indoor
pool,
that's
where
we
train.
F
We
are
working
with
a
couple
of
partners
we're
reaching
out
to
kingsley
the
wise
in
any
creative
place
where
we
could
get
young
people
trained
in
the
off
season,
and
so
I
know
you
guys
came
up
with
that
great
list
of
every
pool
in
the
city,
and
I
am
going
to
take
you
up
on
accessing
that
list
I'll
email
after
this
meeting,
because
I
think
we
could
use
that
so
we're
in
that
planning
process.
Right
now.
Our
training
will
start
right.
F
At
the
beginning
of
the
year
we
start
recruitment
for
new
look
for
returning
guards.
That
starts
early
because
we
can
onboard
them
early
and
then
we
move
into
new
guards,
of
course,
with
our
goal
over
training
as
many
guards
as
possible
as
we
had
last
year.
So
we
are
actively
on
the
actively
working
working
on
that
plan.
F
Oh,
I
would
like
to
say
yes,
I
do
think
there's
a
couple
of
challenges
that
we'll
have
to
talk
about.
You
know
just
being
real
about
seasonal
hires.
The
vaccine
mandate
is
a
challenge.
What
we're
seeing
is
that
a
lot
of
our
full-time
staff
that
have
full-time
positions
are,
you
know
who
maybe
initially
were
not
sure
about.
It
are
moving
to
do
it,
but
we
are
going
to
lose
part-time
staff
and,
as
it
relates
to
seasonals,
we've
had
a
couple
of
interviews
where
that's
been
a
determining
factor.
F
So
you
know
one
of
the
unique
things
about
our
lifeguard
staff
is
they're,
quite
young,
hopefully,
by
the
time
you
know
a
couple
months
rolls
around.
This
continues
to
be
more
normalized
and
that's
not
a
challenge,
but
it
it.
It
could
be
a
challenge.
Our
aquatics
director
shared
that
with
us.
That,
plus
you
know,
we
are
still
working
on
making
sure
that
we
can
be
competitive,
and
that
is
something
we
want
to
continue
to
discuss
in
terms
of
wages.
F
But
yes,
we
are
we're
going
to
be
very
aggressive
with
our
recruiting
and
training,
providing
it
more
frequently
earlier
and
now
that
we
have
the
schools
back
open
being
able
to
return
to
some
of
our
traditional
outreach.
That
will
get
us
higher
numbers
as
it
relates
to
getting
in
touch
with
families
and
young
people
who
want
to
be
guards
earlier.
F
And
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you,
for
I
will.
I
will
be
emailing
about
that
pulls
list.
C
L
That's
mid-level.
Thank
you
very
briefly.
First,
I
want
to
just
publicly
thank
director.
Hornstein
he's
been
working
on
a
number
of
critical
projects
within
the
district
over
the
really
the
last
couple
of
years,
which
have
taken
on
many
different
iterations
that
you
all
may
be
aware
of,
and
he's
been
patient
through
it
all,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
thank
him
and
all
the
staff
for
what
you
all
have
been
doing.
So.
Thank
you
first
and
foremost.
My
second
question.
D
The
prioritization
for
me
would
come
down
to
it's
a
rubric
or
a
matrix
of
you
know.
How
are
we
going
to
deliver
this
improvement?
What
contracting
mechanisms
do
I
have
in
place
or
need
to
have
in
place
to
execute?
I
always
favor.
D
Construction
before
design,
in
terms
of
like
in
terms
of
like
the
personnel
resources
that
I
have
in
my
disposal,
that
isn't
to
say
that
we
want
to
slow
down
design.
We
can
still
kind
of
accomplish
that.
But
there
are
parts
of
the
design
process
that
happen
in
the
off
season,
and
so
my
critical
part,
and
then
certainly
I
work
with
all
of
you
on
that.
On
that
issue
as
well-
and
I
can
probably
have
that
deeper,
broader
discussion
once
I
have
the
approved
list
in
front.
L
F
We
have
had
our
on
contract
vendor,
do
an
assessment
of
every
recreation
center
and
we've
ranked
them
based
off
of
need
in
terms
of
the
gym
equipment,
and
the
goal
would
be
that
you
know
each
year,
we'd
be
able
to
allocate
so
that
you
know
on
a
rolling
basis
year
after
year,
with
these
funds,
we'd
be
able
to
make
those
adjustments
so
that
there
is
an
equitable
spread
of
that,
that
investment,
being
you
know,
visible
across
the
system
and
so
similarly
with
pools.
F
Last
last
season
we
got
about
I'd
say,
like
maybe
half
the
pools
assessed
on
their
unlockers
and
we're
continuing
to
work
through
that
for
the
same
purpose
of
being
able
to
kind
of
say,
we
know
what
our
situation
is
across
all
of
our
facilities
and
if
we're
wanting
to
make
sure
that
people
are,
you
know
part
of
this
investment
and
seeing
that,
and
particularly
in
places
where
we
don't
have
great
amenities
or
those
are
really
lacking,
we're
able
to
start
with
an
understanding
of
what
those
those
locations
are.
F
So
we
have
started
that
assessment
again.
It's
that's
only
specific
to
our
programming.
It's
only
two,
I
think
of
the
list
here.
L
D
Time
frame
for
the
delivery
of
a
new
spray
part
starting
from
scratch
is
going
to
be
at
least
two
years,
so
we
spend
one
year
from
the
time
that
the
budget
would
be
approved.
We
would
need
to
do
design
work,
and
you
know,
generally
speaking,
I'm
sure
you're
talking
about
manchester.
You
know
we
would
exist.
We
would,
as
we
go
through
the
budget
process,
I
would
assess
the
you
know
current
condition
at
high
level
to
help
kind
of
identify
what
the
critical
path
is
likely
to
be
where
we
need
to
make
investments.
D
Generally
speaking,
you're
going
to
have
about
a
year
in
design
to
get
through
contracting
to
prepare
bid
documents,
then
the
following
year
would
be
construction,
so
all
in
all
from
when
the
budget
is
passed,
I
would
always
recommend
on
a
new
spray
park
in
a
situation
like
this,
where
we
have
like
existing
infrastructure,
you're
going
to
be
looking
at
a
two-year
process.
K
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
pretty
much
I
don't
need
to
say
too
much
because
councilman
gross
pretty
much
said
everything
that
I
would
probably
say
on
this
this
subject,
but
the
recruiting
for
the
lifeguards
you're
still
going
to
open
our
pools.
Did
I
miss
anything,
still
open
planning
to
open
our
polls
in
the
summer.
Our
current
polls
you're
still
planning
on
opening,
like
the
are
all
of
our
regular
polls.
Yeah.
K
Because
I
heard
you're
talking
about
partnerships
with
dormont-
and
I
do
want
to
see-
oh
no
yeah
yeah
was
great.
I
mean.
K
K
Open
and
westman
and
jared
and
rheem
wreck
for
us
I
know,
but
I
you
know
in
terms
of
recruitment,
one
of
the
conversations
when
we
were
working
on
this
is.
We
talked
to
the
universities
and
I
was
wondering
if
there's
any
possibility,
for
you
know
some
conversations
with
people
who
are
taking,
who
want
to
be
phys,
ed
teachers
that
maybe
they
could
become
a
lifeguard
in
the
summer
and
then
they
get
college
credits
and,
and
that
might
be
some
type
of
a
recruitment
initiative.
K
And
so
I
just
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
forget
that
those
are
some
of
the
things
we
talked
about.
That
was
one
of
the
things
and
there
was
a
couple
other
things
that
we
had
talked
about
different
ways
to
incentivize
and
of
course
the
pay
was
a
huge
one
and
councilman
gross
really
championed
that
a
lot.
So
I
thank
her
for
that
and
councilman
coghill
and
councilwoman
gross.
K
We
did
have
a
really
good
meeting
and
a
good
event
up
in
dormont,
and
we
were
really
thankful
to
see
how
they
run
their
polls
and
the
things
that
they
do.
And
it's
really,
I
mean
a
great
operation,
so
we
were.
I
was
thankful
for
that
opportunity,
but
the
other
thing
is
you're,
just
getting
ready
to
open
just
getting
ready
to
start
the
charter
spree
park.
I
just
heard
the
director
say
it
takes
two
years.
Is
it
two
years
after
you
do
a
ribbon
cutting
or
two
years
I
mean?
K
D
Yeah
I
mean
the
the
planning
and
the
design
work
that
that
is
part
of
that
two
year.
Time
frame,
I
mean
you've
experienced
that
in
your
own
district
right,
the
charter
spread
part
was
funded
out
of
the
2020
capital
budget
for
design.
We
finalized
that
design
and
we're
able
to
go
out
to
bid,
and
you
know
that
that
spray
part
should
be
done
sometime
next
year.
D
You
know
weather
depending
and
all
of
that,
all
those
you
know
labor
resource
and
supply
chain
issues
that
frustrate
me
on
a
daily
basis,
but
yeah.
I
think
that
that
two-year
time
frame
is
from
the
time
that
the
budget
has
passed
and
and
the
funds
are
made
available.
That's
the
that's
the
timeline
that
we
work
with.
K
Okay,
that's
all
you
need
to
hear
was
that
you're
definitely
working
within
that
time
frame
that
we're
not
gonna.
It's
not
going
to
be
another
two
years
because
we're
I'm
so
excited
for
short-term
city,
because
that
community
does
so
much
just
to
help
themselves
and
to
make
sure
that
that
neighborhood
remains.
So
you
know
you
know
awesome
and
it's
it's
one
of
the
few
things
we're
doing
back.
You
know
to
for
that
community.
So
I'm
so
thankful
for
that
project.
K
I'm
thankful
to
the
administration
for
thinking
of
it
and
working
on
it,
because
now
you
know
what
I
just
also
want
to
say
some
people
here:
oh
it
takes
two
years.
So
when
we
cut
the
ribbon
they're
gonna
say
it's
not
gonna
be
open
for
two
more
years
and
something's
gonna
happen.
So
I
can
just
hear
all
the
negatives.
K
I
want
to
make
sure
that's
clear
that
it's
already
a
year
underway,
so
it
should
be
about
a
year
or
less
before
it
opens,
and
I
just
really
want
to
thank
and
acknowledge
your
senior
centers,
the
staff
at
those
place.
They
are
amazing.
I
mean
they
are
really
amazing.
They
do
so
many
great
things,
and
I
really
wish
pat
freeze
and
sheridan
would
take
that
job.
Full
time.
K
But
she
really
is
amazing,
she's
a
good
hard
worker.
She
does
a
lot
for
the
seniors,
they
love
her
and-
and
that's
true
of
you
know
most
of
our.
H
K
Directors
and
center
workers,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
those
and
acknowledge
them
yeah.
We
love,
I
think
it's
gloria
and
the
west
end.
K
So,
and
and
noreen
up
in
mount
washington
they're
all.
K
K
To
me,
yeah,
I
am
too,
I
know
you
know
why
the
older
I
get
the
more
I'm
saying,
they're
senior
centers.
I
have
to
claim
it
because
I
think
we
qualified,
I
definitely
qualify.
But
with
that
said,
I
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
youth
a
little
bit.
I
think
there's
so
much
concern
about
what's
happening
with
our
kids
in
the
community
and
the
learning
program
that
all
that
stuff
is
great.
K
I
think
we
could
do
a
little
bit
different,
some
some
different
things,
because
I'm
not
so
sure
that
we're
getting
the
kids
that
we
need
to
get
off
the
street
into
into
jobs,
but
I
really
would
love
to
see
an
idea
of
a
rec
center
north
south
east
west,
in
central
one
in
each
area
open
24
hours
a
day,
so
the
police
have
some
place
to
take
kids
off
the
street,
and
I
mean
just
as
the
homeless.
Shelter
should
be
open,
24
hours
a
day.
K
I
think
there
should
be
some
place
where
kids
can
go
to
be
safe
and
police
officers
can
take
them
if
they
need
be
instead
of
arresting
somebody.
They
take
him
to
a
place
where,
hopefully
there's
a
social
worker
somebody
else
there
to
help
them.
So
I
really
wish
we
would
think
about
that
a
little
bit
and
I
actually
did
mention
that
to
the
mayor
elect
at
gaining.
He
actually
liked
that
idea
as
well.
So
I
think
it's
something.
I
hope
that
we
look
into
down
the
road
and
that's
it
for
me.
K
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
work.
Councilman
gross,
pretty
much
said
everything
I
would
say
about
the
park
tax,
about
the
pools,
we're
on
it
together,
deb,
okay,.
I
A
I
H
A
Mike
can
you
go
over
the
overview
of
parks
and
I
think
public
works.
I
think
they
can
go.
I
think
they're
not.
I
think
we're
done
with
your
portion
of
this
participation
in
this
meeting,
and
so
if
you
would
go
over
quickly
an
overview
of
the
park
department
we'll
have.
Although
we've
mixed
some
of
the
conversation,
we
can
finish
the
conversation
because
there's
some
things
I
want
to
talk
about
related.
Thank
you.
Director.
K
B
Doctor
thank
you,
director,
taken
to
the
department
of
parks
and
recreation
whose
mission
is
to
enrich
and
enhance
the
lives
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
residents
by
fostering
lifelong
learning
through
programs,
social
connections,
healthy,
active
living
or
senior
programs,
and
culturally,
culturally
diverse
recreational
educational
opportunities
within
all
the
city's
community,
rec
centers
parks
and
program
spaces
for
the
2022
budget.
They
for
you
right
now
at
four
million
eight
hundred.
Ninety
two
thousand,
that's
an
increase
of
about
six
hundred
thousand.
B
They
oversee
eighty
six
full-time
employees,
forty
three
and
a
half
of
them
are
within
the
operating
budget,
plus
funding
for
their
army
of
part-time
and
seasonal
employees
at
1.34
million
this
year
within
the
operating
budget.
There's
a
reduction
of
two
employees,
a
program
coordinator
and
then
also
two
fiscal
and
contracting
coordinators,
were
turned
into
one
senior
fiscal
and
contracting
coordinator
within
the
1.34
million
of
part-time
and
seasonal.
The
the
hours
for
that
budget
has
been
decreased
by
one
percent,
but
the
total
pay
for
those
that
line
item
has
been
increased
by
six.
B
B
The
operational
supplies
line
item
is
going
up
by
150
000
for
a
youth,
uniform
fund
plus
another
56
000.
Just
restoring
that
line
item
to
pre-pandemic
levels,
parks
and
rec
collects
a
number
of
operating
revenues
for
us,
including
swimming
pool
tags,
reimbursement
from
the
regional
asset
district,
the
summer
food
program,
parks
program
and
renting
some
meeting
meeting
rooms.
B
They
do
not
have
any
capital
budget
projects
because
dpw
is
in
charge
of
facilities
and
playgrounds,
just
to
give
a
quick
sense
of
what
we're
anticipating
working
on
this
year:
kelly
rec
center
phillips,
warrington,
brighton
heights,
oliver
bath
house,
hazelwood,
senior
center
jefferson,
rec
center,
thaddeus,
stevens,
mckinley,
rec
center
and
moore
park
rec
center.
B
B
B
Seven
and
a
half
employees
are
in
there
they're
park,
rangers
eliminated
and
swapped
for
a
program
supervisor.
They
also
have
the
melon
park.
Tennis
trust
fund,
the
budget
for
the
operating
expenses
that
I
trust
fund
this
year
is
380
000,
there's
also
a
large
capital
expenditure
of
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
either
a
new
bubble
or
a
new
facility.
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
been
decided
on
what's
being
built
but
something's
being
built.
B
I
also
have
the
the
senior
citizens
program
trust
fund
for
healthy,
active
living.
It
should
be
about
2.1
million
dollars
this
year.
Stefan
goes
up
by
one
employee
to
29
by
adding
another
recreation
leader,
the
special
summer
food
service,
trust
fund
that
should
be
about
650
000
this
year,
two
full-time
staffers
plus
some
money
for
seasonal
employees,
the
schenley
park,
rink
trust
fund,
that's
back
from
dpw
to
parks
and
rec.
Again,
that's
157!
B
000!
This
year
we
have
a
frick
park,
trust
fund
about
730
000
this
year.
Most
of
it
goes
to,
I
believe,
the
parks
conservancy
for
the
environmental
center
there
and
there's
still
a
fips
conservatory
trust
fund.
We
just
use
that
so
they
can
pay
us
for
steam
and
the
parks
tax
trust
fund,
which
we
have
already
covered.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm
director
is
there
anything
you
want
to
add.
F
Yes,
I
mean
I'm
thankful,
thank
you
all
for
everything
we've
already
discussed
about
our
department.
I
did
send
over
a
brief
document
that
we
put
together
regarding
our
work
that
we
just
wanted
to
share
with
all
of
you
to
kind
of
take
a
look
at.
You
know
when
you're
able
to
we're
not
going
to
read
through
it
right
now.
F
Part
of
it
is,
you
know
the
work
that
we
do
is
with
community
and
with
people
that
it's
important
to
us,
that
you
guys
have
an
opportunity
to
really
see
the
work,
and
so
some
of
our
big
highlights
this
year.
F
I
think
it's
obvious
that
yes
and
I
I
emailed
everybody
a
copy-
yes,
so
if
you're
at
home,
you
can
also
see
it
there,
but
we're
at
a
very
different
place
than
we
were
a
year
ago,
and
one
of
the
most
amazing
things
is,
you
know
last
year
was
all
about
reinventing
what
we
needed
to
do
to
be
able
to
get
food
and
resources
out
to
the
community,
and
this
year
we've
been
working
really
hard
at
getting
back
at
what
that
work
looks
like
now
now
that
we're
emerging
from
the
pandemic,
we're
re-engaging
our
seniors
and
our
senior
centers,
with
some
really
great
programs,
we've
been
able
to
restart
in-person
summer
and
after-school
programming
and
programming
for
little
ones
and
doing
it
in
a
way
that
is
safe,
that
you
know
it
involves
covid
protocol
that
people
are
comfortable.
F
You
know
another
big
focus
of
us
this
year
has
been
staffing
back
up
so
that
we
can
be
back
to
100
percent
at
all
of
our
facilities
and
that's
been
a
challenge,
but
we're
at
that
point
now,
where
we're
really
there.
So
our
team
has
been
working
really
hard
to
be
creative
about
what
it
looks
like
to
come
back
into
our
centers,
to
build
community
to
re-engage
post
pandemic
or
as
we're
continuing
to
live
through
the
pandemic
and
really
bring
people
back
together.
F
So
that's
been
the
spirit
of
what
this
year
has
been
like
for
us.
It
has
been
again
thanks
to
our
wonderful
team
that
we've
been
able
to
reach
so
many
people,
as
councilwoman
gross
had
mentioned
over
a
million
food
meals
served
out
to
seniors
and
young
people
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
hit
this.
This
fall,
which
really
showed
the
importance
of
the
work
that
our
team
is
doing
to
be
often
the
first
people
that
a
young
person,
an
older
adult,
a
family
might
engage
with
when
it
comes
to
city
government.
F
So
the
work
that
we
do
is
really
important.
We've
also
had
some
really
exciting
upgrades
in
our
spaces.
Wrecked
attack
is
really
taking
off.
That
is
an
initiative
that
started
about
two
years
ago,
and
the
pandemic
did
put
a
little
bit
of
a
hold.
We
were
able
to
continue
to
build
that
initiative
up,
but
we're
right
at
that
critical
moment
where
next
year
I
mean
it's
going
to
take
off.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
grants
that
we've
received.
F
We've
been
able
to
actually
see
some
of
those
investments
taking
place,
and
you
know
it
is
our
goal
that
that
would
be
something
where
right
now
we're
focused
on
places.
We've
been
able
to
start
start
and
pilot
the
work
that
it
would.
It
would
be
available
system
wide,
as
it
relates
to
our
our
rec
centers,
really
all
of
them
getting
to
that
to
that
place.
So
it's
a
big
year
for
rec
to
tech.
It's
been
a
big
year
for
re-engaging,
our
community.
F
We
also
have
a
number
of
investments
in
senior
programs
that
luann
will
share
a
little
bit
about.
You
know
it
was
a
hard
year
for
pools
as
we
mentioned,
but
we
still
had
close
to
100
000
people
swimming
in
our
pools
this
season,
so
we
know
how
important
they
are,
and
that
really
speaks
to
that.
I
think
that
was
all
in
terms
of
kind
of
our
big
accomplishments
that
I
really
wanted
to
share,
but
I
did
want
to
say
that
it's
been
we're
excited
next
year,
as
we
continue
to
grow.
F
There's
a
lot
of
projects
that
relate
to
our
work
that
are
coming
as
thaddeus
stevens
is
one
of
them.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
do
a
walkthrough
of
thaddeus
stevens
about
a
month
ago,
and
that
has
so
much
potential
to
be
a
really
unique
facility
with
multi-multi-purpose
cali
gettman's,
another
another
big
one
on
the
list.
F
We
want
to
continue
to
have
conversations
about
what
role
we
can
play
as
that
that
facility
continues
to
be
brought
online,
and
then
we
also
have
warrington
rec
center,
which
is
at
the
beginning
stages
of
a
design
process,
and
that
rec
center
has
a
lot
of
community
members.
A
lot
of
young
people
go
to
warrington
rec
and
it's
certainly
an
example
of
a
rec
center
that
hasn't
seen
a
lot
of
love
in
a
long
time.
F
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
project
and
all
of
the
the
projects
that
touch
our
work,
particularly
in
the
next
year.
We
will
see
a
lot
of
growth
and
what
we're
able
to
do
as
a
department
and
our
presence
within
the
community
based
on
on
those
investments
and
lou.
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
opportunity.
H
H
You,
okay,
thank
you,
katherine,
so
senior
centers.
As
many
of
you
know,
we're
open
back
up.
We've
done
a
just
a
phase,
one
slow
opening,
but
we
are
open
full
time.
The
seniors
have
been
coming
in
some
slowly.
We
haven't
provided
a
meal
service,
yet
we're
still
doing
our
grab-and-go
meals
at
the
door.
H
H
We
are
still
doing
grab-and-go
meals
for
the
seniors
that
aren't
ready
to
come
back
yet
to
the
center.
So
we
deliver
the
meals
monday.
We
we
hit
them
on
monday,
wednesdays
and
fridays,
from
11
to
1
at
the
door
for
people
that
aren't
ready
to
come
back
and
then,
when
the
people
that
do
come
to
the
center,
they
take
their
meals
on
the
same
day,
monday,
wednesday
and
friday
with
them
when
they
leave
the
center.
But
we
are
open
all
day
and
we
do
have
programs.
H
We
are
allowing
them
to
bring
a
luncheon
because
they
need
to
eat,
so
we
allow
them
to
come
and
eat,
because
they're
hungry
can't
be
there
all
day
without
eating.
In
some
cases
we
will
try
and
heat
up
their
grab-and-go
meal.
That's
all
they
have
to
eat.
So
we
want
to
that's
important
to
us
that
they're
fed
as
well
at
the
centers.
H
I
had
all
the
staff
call
everybody
that's
registered
to
let
them
know
about
the
program,
so
I
I
believe
everybody's
been
notified,
that
we
can
that's
connected
with
our
centers
if
they
wanted
the
laptops.
H
So
now
that
we're
open,
we
have
them
bringing
their
laptops
to
the
center
and
our
centers
are
teaching
them
how
to
use
these
laptops
because
many
of
them
don't
know
how.
So
we
at
our
west
end
center.
We
have
laverne
who's
been
at
the
center
well,
and
she
has
a
program
that
she's
created
for
them
called
computers
for
dummies
as
she
calls
it,
and
she
is
they're
coming
in
droves
to
learn
how
to
use
their
laptops
and.
H
It's
been
a
successful
program,
and
so
you
know
I've
asked
her.
You
know
teach
the
other
centers
what
you're
doing
so.
They
can
teach
the
seniors
as
well
how
to
use
their
laptops
and
so
we're
doing
it
all
their
centers
you're
doing
it.
Hazelwood,
david
and
toby
are
doing
a
great
job,
bringing
people
in
to
learn
how
to
use
their
laptops
as
well,
because
it's
important
if
they
have
them,
they
need
to
learn
how
to
use
them
and
not
be
afraid
of
them.
H
We
are
trying.
We
have
archery
programs
that
we're
doing
at
greenfield.
They
love
it.
You'll
see
pictures
of
them
here
in
the
front
page,
where
they're
doing
archery
we're
just
trying
to
find
new
things.
We
have
a
floral
arrangement
program,
that's
taken
off.
They
enjoy
that
we're
doing.
Let's
see
what
else
do
I
have
here?
Healthy
cooking
classes
homework.
They
do
line
dancing;
they
they
love
it
there.
They
really
enjoy.
So
we're
trying
to
expand
on
that.
H
So,
if
we're
finding,
if
something
works
at
one
center,
we're
taking
it
to
another
center
and
testing
it
just
to
see
what
people
like-
and
you
know-
we've
sent
out
questionnaire
surveys
to
just
see
the
kind
of
activities
they
would
enjoy.
H
What
are
the
things
that
are
going
on
now
now
that
it's
the
holiday
season?
We
can't
have
big
parties.
You
know,
because
of
cobain
we're
trying
to
be
very
careful
mindful
so
right
now
we
are
continuing
with
we
do
a
holiday
lights
at
some
of
the
center,
so
we've
got
new
vans.
I've
worked
hard
to
get
new
vans
that
we
can
take
to
seniors
places.
H
So
we've
gotten,
I
think,
three
new
vans
brand
new
shuttles
through
vans
or
shuttles
that
they
hold
12
and
13
people.
So
for
christmas,
each
of
the
centers
have
they're
going
to
take
them
to
see
holiday
lights
at
various
locations.
H
I
know
most
of
them
are
going
to
clinton,
pa
they're,
gonna
go
and
have
a
dinner
somewhere
and
then
take
them
to
see
holiday
lights.
Just
just
that.
We
need
something
to
you,
know:
brighten
it
up
and
have
a
nice
event,
and
so
we're
looking
for
things
to
do
for
the
holidays,
just
to
make
it
really
enjoyable
for
the
seniors.
Thank.
H
Try
to
do
a
lot
of
things
afterwards
too,
when
we
can,
you
know
you
can
have
my
look,
but
one
of
our
biggest
challenges
and
I've
talked
to
councilman
smith,
councilwoman
smith,
about
it
is
we're
having
a
most
difficult
time,
trying
to
find
part-time
workers.
It's
just
really,
there's
not
a
lot
of
people
applying.
H
I
ask
everybody,
you
know
anyone
part-time,
please,
please
have
them,
call
us
get
them
on
the
list.
I
asked
the
staff.
Do
you
know
anybody
in
the
community
we're
sure
we're
down
14
part-time
workers
in
our
senior
centers?
I
think
breck
is
down
maybe
10
people
in
part-time,
but
just
people
just
aren't
applying,
aren't
returning
and
it's
what's.
E
F
I
can
I
can
get
that
to
you
guys.
You
should.
A
A
F
Can
what
I
can
share
with
the
budget
office
shared
with
us
when
we
put
together
a
proposal
for
something
that
we
want
to
see
as
it
relates
to
the
budget?
They
do
a
five-year
projection
of
what
that
particular
line
item
would
cost.
So
that's
that's
information
that
I
can
get
to
you
guys.
A
I'm
not
concerned
about
the
five-year
projection,
that's
not
my
interest.
I'd
rather
have
less
workers
making
15
an
hour
than
more
people,
so
that
now
that
may
be
the
consequence.
The
consequence
may
be
you
have
we
pay
more
and
have
less
people,
so
I
mean
I
just
want
to.
I
want
you
to
be
aware
of.
There
may
be
fiscal,
but
if
that's
what
you
want,
I'm
completely
committed.
F
A
A
We
should
not
be
paying
people,
we
should
not
be
paying
people
period
less
than
15
an
hour
period,
not
for
any
reason.
At
any
time,
we
pay
people
to
pick
up
trash
for
less
than
15
right
now
we
should
not
be
paying
just
saying
we
should
we
should
not
well.
I
agree.
I
agree,
I'm
I'm
that
guy,
you
know,
I'm
I'm
real
consistent
about
this
right.
We
should
not
be
paying
people
less
than
15
an
hour.
You
can't
be
the
moral
voice
of
a
city
if
you're
not
doing
the
moral
thing
right.
A
H
A
We
ran
into
you
heard
me
am
I
am
I
wrong
about
this
bill.
E
Hey
I'll
turn
up
just,
let
me
add
one
thing
real
quickly:
it's
besides
the
lifeguard
that
I
was
telling
you
that
we
ran
into
a
doorman.
She
left
the
city
to
come
to
dormant
for
two
three
dollars
more
an
hour
I
mean.
Certainly
wage
is
what
helps
attract
people
and
you're,
maybe
down,
but
you
know
if
we
can
offer
two
dollars
more
an
hour
which
is
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket
really.
You
know,
as
far
as.
E
Go
with
this
city,
so
you
know
that
certainly
should
help
to
attract
more
part-time
workers.
They're
saying
we.
A
A
They're,
all
these
are
all
part-time
employees,
not
even
part-time
temporary
employees,
so
life
guards
would
be
part
for
part-time
and
temporary,
not
just
part-time
but
temporary,
part-time
interns.
Things
like
that,
but
we'll
still
we'll
still
work
on
this.
I
do
want
to
say
a
new
idea,
and
this
really
is
a
combination
of
councilman
gross
council
president
smith
and
councilman
wilson.
A
We
have
these
programs
for
these
at-risk
kids
and
at-risk
families
that
we
already
are
there
right,
we're
already
partnered
and
maybe,
rather
than
maybe
at
least
not
all
of
it,
but
in
addition
to
giving
some
money
to
help,
you
know
organizations
we
need
to,
and
we
need
to
increase
the
investment
into
the
things
that
we're
providing
and
the
programs
we're
providing.
I
just.
A
The
the
way
a
way
of
getting
but
I'm
saying
a
way
of
getting
it
to
them,
may
not
be
giving
them
the
money
but
giving
them
the
services
right,
because
one
of
the
advantages,
if
we
provide
the
services
is
that
we
already
have
an
accounting
department.
We
already
have
supervisory
people,
we
already
have
facilities
and
buildings,
so
we
are
not
that
money
can
go
directly
to
stuff
to
the
kids
and
less
of
the
money
for
overhead
stuff,
because
we
already
have
the
buildings,
the
facilities,
the
fields
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
Already
things.
A
A
As
we
think
about
investing
social
service
dollars,
I
will
be-
and
I
will
be
advocating
for
those
social
service
dollars
to
be
tied
to
partnerships
with
the
city
programming
that
we're
already
doing
so,
that,
if
that
that,
so
that
that
those
people
who
are
using
our
facilities
are
participating
in
the
because
we
get
a
that
leverage
and
director
parker
is,
if
I'm
making
some
sense
that
it
seems
to
me.
If
we,
if
we
make
that
a
focus,
we
will
double
triple
the
impact.
F
I
mean
I
can
definitely
see
a
situation
where,
if
we
have
a
sports
league
that
we
were
able
to
give-
let's
say
one
of
these
initial
grants
to
maybe
there's
a
con
further
conversation
with
those
organizations
around
how
our
wreck
system
can
further
support
them
in
additional
ways.
So
an
example
might
be,
if
there's
a
a
team
that
is
near
a
rec
center
and
they're
working
with
their
young
people,
both
on
the
field
and
off
the
field,
and
they
need
a
place
where
they
need
additional
assistance.
F
Maybe
it's
around,
like
you
know,
scholastic
support
or
other
supports
that
might
be
possible.
I
I
mean
I
could
definitely
see
something
like
that
where
we
could
have
a
better,
more
holistic
relationship
with
those
organizations,
and
I
do
think,
though,
the
the
funding
that
councilwoman
hale
smith
has
brought
forward
into
our
budget
is
a
really
great
initial
step
in
that
direction,
because,
to
be
honest,
we
have
a
wonderful
city,
sports
league
and
we
do
have
relationships
with
a
number
of
leagues,
as
it
relates
to
being
able
to
assist.
F
In
the
you
know,
the
organization
of
the
sport
and
the
team
you
know
and
how
that
works,
but
it's
it's
a
bit
more
transactional
and
what
happens
now
is,
as
we
continue
to
do
this
kind
of
work
with
these
youth
grants
and
as
we
look
at
the
model
that
you're
discussing
council
and
burgess
we're
building
more
of
a
relationship
and
it's
a
more
holistic
way
of
thinking
about
okay.
Well
now
we
have
this
great
relationship
with
this
association,
and
what
else
can
we
do
for
you
did
you
know
we
offer
this?
K
Just
want
to
say
that
actually
was
the
way
it
was
it
was
that
way
when
big
league
was
here,
it
was
absolutely
that
way.
That's
the
way
it
worked.
They'd
have
a
meeting
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
with
all
the
organizations,
the
mayor's
office
city
parks,
dpw,
some,
the
chair
of
city
parks
and
dp
and
dpw
would
attend
the
meetings.
K
As
far
as
I
can
recall,
and
they
would
say
what
are
your
needs,
how
can
we
help
and
then
we
go
off
that
list
and
check
that
list
and
start
making
sure
we
addressed
and
did
whatever
we
could
provide
equipment,
provide
field
dry,
all
those
sorts
of
things,
and
so
I
actually
suggested
just
to
director
hornstein
recently
that
he
does
he
that
he
conduct
a
meeting
like
that
and
and
find
out
what
the
needs
are
before
we
just
start
saying:
this
is
what
they
need,
let's
hear
from
them,
what
they
do
need
and
let's
try
to
minimize
their
their
challenges
and
their
concerns
of
putting
kids
on
the
field.
K
They're
doing
us
a
great
service
by
helping
our
kids.
You
know
almost
year
round
now
they're
doing
these
athletic
associations
with
fall
ball
and
football,
and
you
know
I
mean
deck
hockey
I
mean
everything
is
just
the
penguins
have
been
such
a
great
partner
with
the
city.
I
want
to
say
that
the
deck
hockey
rinks
that
they
have
built
across
the
city.
They
have
been
amazing,
amazing
partners.
The
pirates
used
to
be
on.
K
If
they
still
are
yes,
they
are
so
okay,
that's
great
to
know,
but
I
do
want
to
say
I
know
with
I
I,
the
pittsburgh
penguins
they're
hosting
sister
mary
for
salt
saver
life
today
they
agreed
to
allow
us
to
use
that
facility,
their
ppg
paints
arena
for
a
christmas
party
for
the
kids
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
it's
going
to
be
amazing
so
and
their
partnership
is
crucial
in
this
part,
and
so
I
think
there's
so
many
times
that
they're
we
have
partners
with
the
athlete
with
the
professional
organizations,
and
I
do
know
the
penguins
have
been
amazing
for
the
city.
K
K
I've
I've
been
out
of
it
for
a
while
with
the
kids,
because
I
used
to
run
the
athletic
association,
so
I
don't
know
all
that
they
need,
but
I
do
know
that
it
would
be
great
to
see
those
partnerships
increased
and
and
working
really
well,
because
I
think
they're
all
amazing
and
they
do
a
lot
of
good
for
our
city.
So
I'd
like
to
see
them
continue
doing
the
work
with
our
with
our
kids.
F
And
I
want
to
echo
a
big
thank
you
to
you're
right,
the
the
penguins
we
meet
weekly
with
the
penguins
foundation,
around
programming
and
getting
young
people
now
that
they
have
the
hunt
armory.
We
are
going
to
be
doing
hotel,
who
was.
K
F
I
apologize,
I'm
sorry,
no
you're,
fine,
we're
going
to
be.
You
know,
working
on
ways.
We
can
bring
kids
from
different
communities
to
the
space,
to
do,
learn
to
skate,
learn
to
learn
to
play
initiatives,
and
we
also
have
bi-weekly
meetings
with
the
with
the
pirates
and
they
have
been
incredibly
helpful
with
city
sports
and
continue
to
be
even
more
of
a
partner.
So
you're,
absolutely
right.
F
They've
been
critical
partners
and
you
know
I
think
that
as
you,
as
you
mentioned,
that
meeting
we
do
have
a
big
meeting
with
all
of
our
baseball
and
softball
leagues
as
it
relates
to
the
beginning
of
the
season.
But
there
is
going
to
be
a
meeting
to
director
hornstein's
credit
regarding
fields
in
january,
and
it's
going
to
be.
There's
they're
actually
redesigning
the
entire
permit
structure,
based
on
feedback
that
they
received
from
tv.
K
Would
love
to
be
included
in
that,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
the
stores
have
been
very
good
and
shared
and
with
the
jasmine
ire
campus
and
joey
porter
and
his
wife
purchased
the
property
there.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
I
acknowledge
that
they
have
been
helpful
to
our
area
very
helpful.
I
don't
know
what
they
all
do
across
the
city,
but
they've
been
helpful
in
our
area,
but
all
of
them
have
been
helpful
in
some
way.
K
J
Yeah,
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
process
that
we're
going
forward
with
so
earlier.
We
did
dpw
and
I
mean
we
didn't
cover
like
capital
projects
with
that.
But
this
we
did
park,
parks,
trust
fund
and
then
we
did
parks
and
rec.
C
We're
supposed
to
be
covering
that
this
afternoon,
so
the
the
all
the
capital
investments
for
parks,
which
is
the
majority
of
what
dpw
does
as
far
as
capital,
goes
with
the
exception
of
some
of
the
facilities
which
we
spoke
a
little
bit
about
this
morning,
should
have
been
on
discussion
during
the
today,
with
the
department
of
parks
and
recreation
and
epw
available.
So
I
don't
know
if
dpw
is
still
on
the
line
or
not.
Probably
not.
C
J
A
J
That's
fine
I'll
follow
up.
The
point
I
want
to
make
was
that
you
know
rearview
park
has
many
challenges
and
many
departments
invest
and
should
be
investing
in
it,
and
so
like
don't.
We
have
nine
ten
landslides,
and
so
you
know
it's
just
unfortunate
that
we
have
to
continue
spending
money
on
landslides
instead
of
new
tennis
court
new.
You
know
we
do
all
this
bridge
investment
fabulous,
wonderful,
it's
just!
I
just
want
to
just
bring
forward
like
you
know.
It
feels
like
we're
in
a
lot.
J
We
need
a
long-term
plan
working
on
a
long-term
plan
for
these,
for
these
landslides,
but
that's
like
the
baseline.
That's
like
the
road
there's
only
one
road
that
goes
around
that
place
and
there's
we're
investing
the
big
ones,
but
I
just
wanted
to
I'll
bring
it
up
with
director
hornstein,
but
there's
just
some
other
investments
that
we
have
to
make.
K
We
have
the
same
issue
with
some
of
our
perks
they're,
not
necessarily
rapports,
but
one
is
mount
washington.
We
have
some
of
the
same
issues,
so
maybe
we
should
have
a
conversation
with
ryan
and
we're.
J
Doing
tons
of
investment,
it's
just
that
it's
starting
at
a
much
different
place
than
in
some
other
rat
parks.
You
know
so
it's
just
we
it's
like.
We
go
three
steps
ahead
and
then
we
go
one
step
back
because
there's
a
landslide.
So
it's
like
you
know
it's
not
really
park's
fault
that
it
landed
on
that
that
you
know
where
all
the
glaciers
moved
around
and
gave
us
this
terrible.
J
You
know
these
is
terrible
under
whatever
the
well.
You
know,
whatever
is
causing
all
the
landslides,
the
the
the
red
beds
they
get
saturated,
but
anyway,.
C
Just
if
you
would
like
a
more
detailed
and
you
think
it
should
be
in
a
hearing
form,
I
was
hoping
to
go
through
capital
and
I
apologize
for
not
helping
to
start
this
meeting
today.
Due
to
some
other
issues
going
on,
the
president
knows
I'd
be
glad
to
set
up
a
separate
meeting,
or
maybe
we
can
combine
some
of
the
capital
with
with
the
dummy
discussion
which
has
the
vast
majority
of
capital
projects
director
hornstein.
