the
american
rescue
plan

Thank

chief

B
Thank
you,
madam
president,
it's
my
pleasure
good
afternoon,
council
members
I'm
joined
today
by
kevin
paulus
who's,
our
director
of
the
office
of
management
and
budget,
patrick
cornell
who's,
our
assistant
director
of
omb
for
operating
budgets,
majestic
lane,
who
is
deputy
chief
of
staff
and
chief
equity
officer
for
the
city
and
lindsey
powell,
who's,
the
assistant
chief
of
staff
and
head
of
our
policy
shop
in
the
mayor's
office.
If
council
is
okay,
I
will
go
through
a
very
brief
conversation.
B
Try
to
keep
it
to
about
five
minutes,
mostly
for
highlights
for
the
public.
This
is
all
information
you
have
through
the
legislation
and
press.
It
is
not
new
info,
but
just
for
the
viewing
public
to
set
the
table
and
then,
of
course,
just
open
it
up
to
you,
madame
president,
to
run
in
terms
of
question
and
answer.
B
Kevin
and
patrick
are
here
really
to
get
into
the
details
of
questions
about
the
federal
statute
and
the
legislation
and
rules
that
have
been
promulgated
around
it
and
legalities
of
spending
and
budgeting
practices.
Chief
slain
and
powell
are
the
two
main
points
for
the
vast
majority
of
the
programmatic
efforts.
With
the
few
exception
of
there
are
some
infrastructure
projects
that
would
fall
under
director,
rix
or
director
hornstein,
who
are
not
with
us.
B
So
the
city
of
pittsburgh
is
receiving
335
million
dollars
in
federal
american
rescue
plan
dollars.
We
receive
that
money
from
the
federal
government
in
two
tranches
of
167.5
million
dollars.
We
have
received
the
first
segment.
It
is
in
our
bank
account
the
second
one
will
come
in
2022.
B
legally
the
spending
that
we
have
to
put
these
in
go
into
several
categories.
One
is
lost
revenue,
of
course
that
basically
the
heart
of
the
american
rescue
plan,
local
government
effort
was
recognition
of
city
government,
county
government
state
government
and
their
related
authorities
and
the
loss
of
revenue
from
lower
tax
dollars
across
the
board.
Here
in
pittsburgh,
as
you
all
know,
well,
some
of
the
hardest
hit
areas
include
things
like
parking
meter,
revenue
parking
tax,
the
amusement
tax
with
the
loss
of
events.
B
We
ended
up
doing
a
bit
better
in
terms
of
wage
and
property.
Then
we
were
fearful
at
times
and
thankfully
starting
to
see
economic
recovery,
but
we
still
had
significant
revenue
shortfalls
and
there
also
is
a
federal
breakdown
of
how
you
can
calculate
losses
as
well.
B
So
for
us,
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
city
side,
and
that
is
a
city
of
pittsburgh.
Budgeting
issues.
Our
plan
can
fall
into
a
couple
of
categories.
One
is
restoring
positions
that
were
cut
or
frozen
the
vacant
positions
from
the
budget.
The
second
are
some
new
positions
or
swaps
that
we're
doing
while
reopening
the
budget.
The
third
is
non-personnel
costs
and
then
the
fourth
is
lead
operation.
B
I
will
note
that,
in
addition,
we
are
will
be
spending
5.2
million
dollars
to
restore
the
3
annual
cost
of
living
adjustment
that
non-union
employees
traditionally
received.
That
did
not
occur
in
2021
all
union
employees
received
their
2021
raises
in
line
with
their
community
or
I'm
sorry,
with
their
collective
bargaining
agreement.
Non-Union
salaries
were
frozen
across
the
board,
so
we
will
restore
that
cost
up
front.
B
On
the
position
side,
we
are
proposing
to
council
to
restore
71
of
the
vacant
positions
that
we
eliminated
from
the
2021
budget.
The
other
29
are
positions
that,
after
review,
we
realize
that
we
think
we
can
either
survive
without
they
stood
vacant
forever
and
just
sat
on
the
books
as
an
expenditure.
That
was
not
realistic,
at
least
in
today's
climate
that
can
always
be
restored
in
the
future
or
that
we're
swapping
out
for
a
different
position,
though,
that
is
only
a
few
of
those.
B
We
can
certainly
get
you
the
breakdown.
Additionally,
I
will
not
go
through
all
129
positions,
but
some
highlights
based
off
key
areas,
we're
putting
back
10
crossing
guards
into
the
budget,
adding
two
remit
or
putting
back.
I
should
say
two
remittance
technicians:
these
are
employees
in
the
department
of
finance
directly
related
to
the
processing
of
tax
payments,
four
positions
in
dome
that
are
either
planning
or
engineers
eight
within
facilities.
B
These
are
our
union
plumbers,
carpenters,
electricians,
building
operators,
a
critical
area,
we've
been
making
a
huge
investment,
it
will
even
more
and
we
need
to
get
those
positions
back.
22
positions
within
public
works
operations.
These
are
largely
laborers.
B
I
believe,
there's
a
a
couple
of
drivers
in
there
as
well,
but
these
are
the
men
and
women
in
the
field
in
operations
every
day,
so
this
is
parks,
maintenance,
snow
maintenance,
pothole
patching
the
basic
operations
of
our
of
our
street,
and
then
we
are
putting
back
eight
rec
employees,
that's
seven
rec
leaders
and
a
rec
center
director
back
into
the
budget,
especially
as
we
continue
to
invest
in
rec
centers
in
this,
as
well
as
some
upcoming
things
in
the
budget,
where
we'll
be
talking,
potentially
even
about
new
rec
centers
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
B
The
second
category
are
swaps.
These
are
positions
where
directors
have
asked.
Can
I
switch
out
a
senior
talent
acquisition
coordinator
for
talent,
acquisition
coordinator
things
like
that?
These
are
generally
mostly
budget
neutral,
with
a
few
budgetary
impacts
that
you
can
see.
The
only
ones
I'll
really
highlight
for
you
in
particular,
is
within
the
commission
on
human
relations
per
the
director's
request.
B
B
This
is
doing
the
paperwork
for
the
advance
that
we
created
for
the
eviction
moratorium
purposes,
so
we're
honoring
that
request
from
chr
we're
adding
one
new
assistant
solicitor,
where
we've
really
felt
the
need,
particularly
with
the
amount
of
municipal
legislation
coming
through
council
in
the
administration
and
the
number
of
contracts
trying
to
to
beef.
That
up
in
one
position
that
I
will
highlight
a
little
selfishly,
but
I
know
it
relates
to
some.
B
We
are
putting
in
a
basically
a
lease,
an
asset
manager
and
that's
one
person
who
really
specializes
in
all
of
these
leases.
We
have
at
our
senior
centers
our
rec
centers,
whether
we're
leasing
space,
where
we
lease
out
space
to
organizations,
think
boys
and
girls
club
building
in
lawrenceville
or
the
west
end
healthy,
active
living
center.
B
This
kind
of
gets
thrown
around
between
law,
public
works
and
finance,
and
we
really
thought
it
was
important
that
basically,
the
city
have
one
person
whose
job
it
is
to
manage
these
positions.
The
next
category
is
the
non-personnel
item
for
the
public.
These
are
all
of
the
general
operating
costs
that
are
not
direct
personnel
costs,
so
it
can
be
everything
as
small,
as
you
know,
the
the
line
item
for
where
we
buy
our
paper
up
to
very
significant
costs
like
dpw
facilities
or
ela
vehicle
purchases
etc.
B
So
for
this,
this
is
a
total
of
20
million
dollars
over
the
four
years.
55
of
that
20
million
is
going
back
to
dpw,
restoring
operation
cost
significant
chunk
is
in
assistant
director
hornstein's
world
in
the
facilities.
This
is
where
we
pay
many
of
the
natural
things.
When
you
just
call
and
say
hey,
the
roof
is
leaking
at
warrington
rec.
This
is
the
money
that
does
that.
So
it's
not
a
special
capital
up
cost.
B
This
is
general
how
we
maintain
our
field,
replace
fencing
at
a
little
league
field
when
it
breaks
things
like
that,
so
that
is
55
of
the
money.
Another
20
is
restoring
cuts
to
ela,
that
is
our
equipment,
leasing
authority,
that's
our
vehicle
purchases
and
I'll
get
down
back
to
that
in
a
minute,
and
then
15
is
some
critical
technology
needs
within
innovation
and
performance,
both
related
to
recognition
of
costs
due
to
covid
and
also
security
costs
and
back
to
work
cost
so
combined
that
those
three
are
about
90
of
the
non-personnel.
B
So
what
we
didn't
bring
back
in
full
numbers,
we
did.
We
did
in
some
of
course,
but
we
really
pushed
our
departments
hard
on
some
of
those
costs
that,
quite
frankly,
have
been
in
the
budget
for
40
years
and
just
gone
up
three
percent
every
year.
You
know
whether.
A
B
B
This
comes
out
to
about
13.7
million
dollars
and
again
we
can
get
you
the
full
list,
if
you
don't
see
it
in
your
legislative
packet,
but
I
really
will
just
highlight
two
areas:
one
is
some
critical
purchase
of
fire
equipment,
we'll
be
buying
four
three
aerial
fire
trucks
and
two
pumpers.
B
So
over
two
years,
five
fire
pieces
of
apparatus
which
are
in
critical
and
dire
need
in
the
city
and
basically
the
entire
rest
of
the
purchases
are
electric
and
by
the
way
we
are
starting
to
look
at
electric
fire
trucks-
we're
not
quite
ready
for
prime
time,
but
we
are
moving
and
looking
to
pilot
with
some
other
cities
to
look
at
those
but
other
than
that.
B
The
vehicles
are
electric,
so
it
it's
the
motor
pool,
pickup
trucks
within
public
works
and
parks
and
rec
our
pli
inspector
vehicles,
our
domi
inspector
and
domi
employees.
What
our
planners
drive
to
sites
also
for
the
first
time
we'll
be
buying
electric
recycling
packers.
Moving
to
that,
and
with
this
arp
spending
plan
of
vehicle
purchasing,
we
will
be
more
or
less
at
100
percent
electric
of
what
I'll
call
non-specialized
equipment.
So
that's
not
yet
big
two-ton
dump
trucks
for
snow.
That's
not
yet
ambulances
in
police
cars.
B
But
if
you
think
about
the
general
four-door
fleet
of
the
city,
we
will
be
all
electric
and
in
these
numbers
by
the
way,
does
include
the
electric
infrastructure
that
we
know
needs
to
go
with
it.
For
a
reliable
fleet,
this
is
a,
I
believe,
a
tremendous
accomplishment
and
credit
to
city
council
with
help
in
prioritizing
these
dollars
with
our
our
climate
action.
B
The
next
area
that
I'll
just
run
through
are
really
the
key
line
items
in
the
arp
plan
and
after
that,
I'll
stop
and
turn
it
back
over
to
council
we'll
be
putting
two
million
dollars
into
community
public
safety
facilities.
This
money
is
not
all
a
hundred
percent
determined.
Some
of
it
is
still
a
negotiation
phase,
of
course,
we'll
all
come
through
council.
I
can
tell
you
the
first.
B
One,
though,
is
the
zone:
three
substation
and
councilman
krause's
district
related
to
the
south
side
and
looking
to
restore
the
old
zone,
three
on
18th
street.
As
a
substation
for
our
south
side
operations,
there
will
be
some
flexibility
there.
There
are
some
leases
we
need
to
get
out
of
in
the
next
12
months
in
moving
facilities
around.
We
also
will
be
looking
to
move
some
facilities
that
will
allow
us
to
open
a
new
recreation
center
in
senior
center
and
council
president
kale
smith
district.
B
That's
currently
hosing
housing,
some
public
safety
operations
in
that
line.
The
second
is
10
million
for
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety.
This
is
our
co-responder
model
right
now
often
referred
to
as
the
ahn
co-responder
model,
as
allegheny
health
network
and
dan
palka
lead
that
effort.
That
was
an
rfp.
B
Of
course
you
don't
know
what
the
future
holds,
but
this
10
million
dollars
will
allow
that
co-responder
model
to
be
24
7
in
all
six
police
zones,
city-wide
in
really
putting
into
full
effect
for
through
2023
funding,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
future
thinking.
Co-Responder
model
around
harm
reduction,
mental
health,
poverty,
homelessness.
B
This
ties
into
much
of
the
great
work
that
laura
dragowski
and
her
team
are
doing.
There
are
also
positions
within
this
reopener
they're
not
funded
with
arp
dollars
because
they
come
out
of
a
trust
fund,
but
through
the
budget
opener
additional
hiring
of
staff
for
her
to
really
continue
to
build
out
the
critical
work
that
ochs
is
doing.
B
I
hope
some
of
you
saw
a
press
release
from
us
today
on
our
new
neighborhood
safety
academy,
partnership
with
staunton
farm
foundation
that
she's
running
we're
really
proud
of
that
work,
and
this
will
take
it
to
the
next
level
we're
putting
six
million
dollars
into
the
land
maintenance
in
the
city.
This
is
through
the
three
taxing
body
trust
fund.
The
critical
point
I'll
point
out
for
this
work
is,
of
course,
the
amount
of
lots
that
we
all
know
needs
to
be
cut
in
our
neighborhoods.
B
But
we
see
this
more
as
a
workforce
development
effort.
How
do
you
employ
and
partner
with
small
businesses
and
create
job
opportunities
for
young
people
to
earn
a
living
and
start
to
eliminate
the
blight
in
our
neighborhood?
We've
started
that
work.
This
six
million
dollars
will
help
advance
it
next
is
our
rec
centers.
I
will
run
through
there's
one
in
each
of
your
districts
in
district
one,
it's
cali
rec
center
in
district,
two
thaddeus
stevens
school
district,
three
is
mckinley.
B
District
four
is
phillips.
District
five
is
the
hazelwood
senior
center
district.
Six
is
jefferson
wreck
district,
seven,
I'm
sorry
and
and
robert
e
williams
district.
Six
has
two
district:
seven
is
the
west
penn
rec
center
district?
Eight?
Is
the
marshall
mansion
and
district
nine
is
the
paulson
rec
center.
These
dollars
will
both
fix
the
fundamental
structures
at
these
facilities
that
are
much
needed.
B
Everything
from
leaking
roofs
to
hvac
system
improvements
to
new
floors
to
remediation
of
lead
paint
and
asbestos,
we'll
also
build
out
recreate
our
technology
hubs
in
every
center,
as
our
rec
to
tech
initiative
and
falls
under
the
arps
broadband
initiative
to
close
the
gap
on
the
digital
divide
and
build
digital
equity
training
within
our
centers
across
the
city.
B
The
next
number
is
12
million
dollars
for
city
street
lights.
The
city
through
city
council
support
is
doing
a
transition
to
led
straight
lights.
The
rfp
is
actively
in
the
field
as
we
speak,
the
rfp
was
to
replace
35
000
street
lights
in
the
city
with
led
lights.
Mayor
peduto
stressed
very
clearly
up
front
that
if
we
just
switch
one
light
for
one
light,
he
would
consider
that
a
failure.
B
If
we
didn't
address
the
equity
component
under
the
leadership
of
domi
inp
and
chief
lane,
we
did
do
a
light
equity
analysis.
Looking
across
the
city-
and
you
will
not
be
surprised
that
there
is
direct
correlations
to
economic
conditions
in
neighborhoods,
this
12
million
dollars
will
allow
us
to
put
in
8
000
new
led
lights,
so
instead
of
35
000
we'll
be
doing
43
directly,
placing
anywhere
in
our
map
where
we
have
a
poll
without
a
light
that
shows
a
gap
in
equity.
B
So
this
wouldn't
be
placing
new
poles
and
it's
not
placing
a
light
on
every
fall
to
be
very
clear,
but
within
the
analysis
where
our
light
equity
studies
said
this
neighborhood
is
under
litter.
This
street
is
under
lit
and
there's
already
a
pole.
There
we
had
8
000
of
those
locations
that
this
will
fund.
B
Next
is
davis,
avenue,
bridge,
we'll
fully
fund
the
new
bike
ped
bridge,
and
it
connects
brighton
heights
in
riverview
park
in
councilman
wilson's
district.
We
had
already
significant
funding
in
place.
This
closes
that
funding
line
item
same
thing
also,
actually
both
councilman
wilson
and
councilman
lavelle
is
the
north
avenue
streetscape
safety
and
signal.
B
This
takes
north
avenue
through
the
core
of
the
north
side,
basically
from
manchester
all
the
way
to
279
and
does
everything
from
replaces
all
of
the
lights,
with
modern
lights,
with
pedestrian
countdown
signals,
bump
bounce
storm
water
infrastructure,
pedestrian
enhancements,
plus
streetscape
improvement,
there's
a
million
dollars
for
councilman
o'connor's
district
for
irvine
street
sidewalks.
This
is
a
stretch
of
irvine
through
hazelwood
that
has
no
sidewalk.
B
B
Funding
for
the
fraser
steep
street
steps
in
south
oakland
funding
the
gap
on
the
new
fourth
division
to
service
the
south
hills
in
public
works.
We
saw
a
significant,
significant
increase
in
cost
for
that
project
due
to
covet
in
construction
costs
rising
from
the
time
we
broke
ground
to
today.
This
will
fully
fund
that
gap
and
allow
construction
to
continue,
and
then
two
important
ones
to
note
the
hill
district
corridor
enhancements
in
the
citywide
step
project.
These
are
both
earmarks
within
the
federal
transportation
and
infrastructure
bill
that
congressman
doyle
has
put
in.
B
We
want
them
shovel
ready,
so
this
funding
will
actually
fund
the
engineering
and
design
for
these
projects.
So
then,
when
the
federal
government
comes
in
with
the
infrastructure
bill,
we
are
literally
shovel
ready.
The
30
design
drawings
are
done
and
we
can
go
fully
funded
projects
straight
to
implementation,
in
partnership
with
the
federal
government,
a
small
line,
but
I
think
an
important
one
to
note
is
the
next
one,
which
is
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
new
casa,
san
jose
partnership.
Around
immigration
representation.
B
We've
been
working
with
casa,
san
jose
and
the
welcoming
pittsburgh
initiative
to
look
at
ways
to
provide
greater
legal
assistance
to
residents
of
pittsburgh
facing
immigration
hearings,
and
this
provides
some
funding
to
match
some
outside
funding
to
try
to
launch
a
partnership
project
here
in
the
city
with
casa,
san
jose
2.8
million,
that
will
that's
the
pen
circle
conversion.
This
is
the
very
last
stretch
of
penn
circle
that
has
not
been
turned
back
two-way
since
the
failure
of
1950s
urban
planning.
B
This
is
the
euclid
section
again
we
thought
it
was
fully
funded.
Covet
costs
created
a
huge
gap
in
construction
costs.
This
closes
that
gap
financing
1600
broadway.
In
beach
view.
This
is
putting
a
million
dollars.
That's
a
facility
we
own
through
the
ura.
We
have
not
been
able
to
get
a
tenant
for
we
are
in
negotiations
potentially
with
the
tenant.
This
could
be
huge
for
that
effort,
even
if
that
falls
through.
This
still
allows
the
ura
to
improve
the
building
and
get
it.
A
B
As
a
vibrant
part
of
the
b3
business
district,
next
is
a
million
dollars
for
each
of
our
avenues
of
hope
across
the
city.
We
then
have
two
million
dollars
for
the
lexington
technology
center
homewood
development.
This
is
an
affordable
housing.
Mixed
use,
development
that
spans
the
bus
way
between
homewood
and
north
point
breeze,
a
million
dollars
for
the
jasmine
nyree
campus
and
sheridan
and
council
president
kale
smith's
district,
hey
two
million
dollars
for
the
gladstone
school,
affordable
housing,
development
in
hazelwood
and
councilman
o'connor's
district.
B
This
is
another
project
that
found
a
significant
gap
from
kovitcott.
This
allows
it
to
go
forward
immediately:
the
top
priority
of
hazelwood,
the
next
line,
three
and
a
half
million
dollars.
This
will
allow
us
to
take
ura
grants.
Majoring
sorry,
ura
loans
made
during
covet
to
small
business
owners
and
forgive
those
loans
without
creating
a
hole
in
the
ura
budget,
but
supports
all
of
our
small
businesses
that
relied
on
us
to
help
get
through
some
of
their
covet
costs.
B
Next
are
a
number
of
housing
initiatives
at
the
ura.
First
is
about
21
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
an
initiative
known
as
own
pgh.
This
is
to
help
low
to
moderate
income
residents,
buy
a
home
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
through
different
means.
This
is
everything
from
closing
cost
assistance
to
rehabilitation,
assistance
to
land
acquisition,
to
building
costs
of
new
homes,
but
this
is
a
home
ownership
initiative
for
lmi
families
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
B
The
next
lineup
is
five
million
dollars
to
protect
existing,
affordable
housing.
This
will
create
a
new
fund.
F?
U,
r,
a
with
flexibility.
B
Many
of
you
remember
things
like
homewood
bethesda
in
homewood,
most
recently
in
council
president's
district,
it's
just
in
transition,
but
different
sites
that
are
critical
to
our
affordable
housing
needs
and
usually
feed
restrictions,
price
out
ownership
changes
and
we're
scrambling
to
try
to
keep
that
as
affordable
housing.
This
will
actually
create
a
fund
with
flexibility
for
the
ura
to
properly
respond
to
those
needs.
B
The
next
is
five
million
dollars
for
community
land
trust.
We
have
several
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Opdc
has
been
doing.
Work
and
city
of
bridges
has
been
doing
fantastic
work
in
polish
hill
about
in
lawrenceville
about
to
start
in
hazelwood.
This
will
give
the
ura
money
to
partner
with
those
organizations
for
this.
What
we
believe
is
a
very
successful
model
that
has
worked
next
is
10
million
dollars
for
the
homeowner
utility
program.
B
B
So
this
looks
to
address
the
utility
costs
by
helping
existing
homeowners.
Do
everything
from
replace
windows,
insulation,
roof
replacement,
as
well
as
sustainability
improvements,
so,
whether
that's
going
solar
storm
water
costs
to
mitigate
water
and
sewer
fees
etc,
but
aimed
really
at
the
growing
impact
that
utilities
have
on
our
affordability.
B
The
next
item
is
10
million
dollars
for
the
land
bank.
I
believe
this
is
one
that
might
be
one
of
the
more
questions
out
there
and
what
I'll
say
is
this?
We
have
not
done
what
we
needed
to
do
with
the
land
bank
councilwoman
gross.
I
think
this
was
her
first
bill
when
she
joined
a
number
of
years
ago
and
championed
it.
The
city
has
not
delivered,
but
we
still
believe
there
is
absolutely
100
critical
need.
B
We
have
hired
an
outstanding
new
manager
from
new
york
city,
who
has
moved
here
to
take
a
day-to-day
operation.
We've
taken
the
land
bank
and
moved
it
to
the
ura
under
diamante
walker's,
fantastic
leadership.
Lindsey
powell
has
been
doing
endless
work
on
the
policy
side
with
finance
to
address
it.
We
have
wayne
fontana
who's,
introduced
amendments
and
mikdl
legislation
in
harrisburg
that
we
desperately
need.
B
Things
are
really
coming
together
and
we
believe
this
10
million
will
really
set
up
the
city
to
see
the
land
bank
work
in
the
next
several
years
under
a
new
administration.
This
would
be
three
million
this
year
and
two
million
each
year
through
the
term
of
this.
B
Next
is
a
two
million
dollar
fund
for
artists,
a
category
that
of
residents
and
business
owners
who
felt
a
particular
struggle
during
covent,
with
stages
and
performance
spaces
being
closed,
we'll
be
creating
a
program
that
creates
vibrancy
in
our
community
and
addresses
the
economic
crisis
for
artists.
B
So
this
would
be
everything
from
hiring
when
I
say:
artists,
I'm
talking
performance,
art,
musical
art,
using
art
and
the
loosest
of
definitions
to
perform
at
our
farmers
markets,
our
public
spaces,
our
senior
centers,
our
rec
centers,
bringing
special
events
with
good
paying
jobs
for
artists
to
neighborhoods
that
don't
currently
necessarily
have
say
a
movie
night
or
a
box
beethoven
and
brunch
or
I
believe
highland
park
has
jazz
at
the
reservoir.
How
do
you
take
that
model,
hire
more
artists,
put
money
in
their
pockets
and
bring
vibrancy
to
our
neighborhood?
B
We
have
a
million
dollars
for
streeters.
These
are
the
extended
restaurant
spaces
that
took
over
parking
lane.
Many
of
them,
of
course,
were
done
quickly
and
with
city
bicycle
rack,
which
we
are
happy
to
do,
and
I
commend
the
city
for
flexibility.
They're,
not
the
most
beautiful
in
all
cases,
and
so
we're
gonna
do
a
million
dollars
in
grants
to
small
businesses
to
take
those
and
beautify
them.
B
I
think
you
know
the
corner,
pen
and
tenth
right
now,
which
I
think
looks
really
nice
and
done
well
and
what
that
can
be
in
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
Next
up
is
lead,
there's
20
million
dollars
in
lead.
I
will
say
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
placeholder,
not
the
20
million,
but
this
will
do
both
expediting
led
light
replacement
for
lead
and
water
at
pwsa
and
a
new
initiative
to
address
lead
in
paint
in
partnership
with
women
for
a
healthy
environment.
B
We
don't
yet
know
the
exact
split
of
that
20
and
how
we're
going
to
do
it.
That
will
come
to
council
as
an
amendment
to
this
we're
working
with
some
council
members
and
women
for
a
healthy
environment
on
the
best
way
to
do
that.
But
the
money
is
there
to
address
lead
in
both
water
and
pain
in
this
line
item
and
then
the
last
one
is
guaranteed
basic
income.
This
is
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
B
This
is
our
pilot
initiative
to
take
black
women
who
earn
under
50
percent
ami
and
have
gone
through
city,
financial
empowerment,
center
training
and
provide
them
500
a
month
for
two
years
to
show
the
federal
government
and
states,
but
the
federal
government.
The
guaranteed
basic
income
does
work,
we're
now
over
30
mayors
and
cities
across
the
country,
doing
gbi
pilots,
the
vast
majority,
or
I
think
that
many
are
using
arp
money
to
do
this.
B
The
success
out
of
stockton
so
far
in
the
research
being
done
by
the
university
of
pennsylvania
and
the
university
of
tennessee
is
showing
that
this
works
and
we
believe
we
can
be
an
integral
part
of
that
national
study.
This
matches,
600
000,
we've
already
received
in
grant
fully
funds
the
pilot
for
two
years
and
will
be
direct.
This
is
the
money
that
goes
directly
to
black
women
in
pittsburgh.
Who
will
be
part
of
the
pilot?
I
know
people
are
concerned
that
this
money
goes
through
one
pgh.
B
I
understand
and
hear
that
concern.
I
would
just
note
that
under
state
law,
we
are
prohibited
from
making
direct
payments
to
individuals
in
that
manner,
and
so
it
has
to
go
through
a
501
c3
partner
by
state
law,
but
this
is
this
is
not
money
to
fund
one
pga.
This
is
money
to
fund
the
black
women
in
the
program
through
the
one,
the
51c3
partnership.
So
with
that,
madam
president,
I
will
stop
and
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
A
C
Councilman
krause,
please
yeah.
Thank
you.
So
thanks
everybody
for
being
here
today.
I
know
this
is
a
little
bit
dry
because
you
know
we're
really
talking
about
you
know
budget
allocations
here,
but
just
a
couple
things
that
I
that
I
heard
during
the
chief
gilman's
presentation.
C
I
just
want
to
make
certain
that
I
have
a
full
understanding.
So,
chief
gilman,
can
you
direct
me
to
the
allocation
which
will
assist
us
with
processing
tax
payments?
I
I
know
you've
heard
this.
Council
members
have
all
heard
it
too
councilman
gross
is
shaking
your
head.
My
check
hasn't
cleared
yet
I
don't
want
people
saying
why
hasn't
the
councilman
paid
his
taxes,
you
know
when
I
wrote
the
check.
So
can
you
can
you
show
me
the
allocation
that
will
help
us
to
ultimately
resolve
processing
tax
payment.
B
B
Yes,
exactly
and
under
finance
department
in
the
breakdown
of
positions,
there's
two
remittance
technologies.
I'm
sorry,
excuse
me
remittance
specialist.
So
that's
the
line
item
you
would
see
in
your
arp
plan.
I.
B
Being
being
you
know,
by
the
time
council
passes
this,
the
jobs
are
created,
posted
hired.
I
don't
want
to
give
a
false
hope
that
this
causes
an
instantaneous.
We
will
be
looking
at
september
to
october
before
people
are
in
these
positions
trained
and
working,
so
it
certainly
helps
for
for
future
years,
but
I
don't
want
to
get
false
up
that
we're
out
here
saying
that
this
this
money
solves
the
immediate
challenge.
We've
had
this
year
in
collection.
C
Will
you
say
that
again,
please,
because
it
is
important
for
for
constituency
to
hear
that
that
simply
because
you
know
we
live
in
this
text
message
and
email
world
and
that
just
because
council
has
allocated
doesn't
mean
instant
remediation,
but
that
it
will
take
some
time,
but
we
will
get
there.
B
Correct-
and
I
will
note
for
next
year,
you'll
have
half
as
many
tax
payments,
because
the
parks,
tax
and
city
tax
will
be
one
bill
and
we'll
be
able
to
have
more
people
working
at
once,
both
because
we
won't
have
coveted
safety
restrictions
in
place
and
we'll
have
more
employees.
So
I
I
really
don't
think
we'll
have
any
issue
next
year
with
collection
and
processing.
Even
if
council
didn't
change
anything-
and
I
know
council
has
a
task
force
looking
at
potential
changes,
but
even
without.
B
C
C
I
know
there
are
some
of
it
is
around
staffing
levels
to
make
certain
that
we
meet
critical
need
for
delivering
services,
but
then
there's
also
restoration
to
necessary
vehicles
that
will
take
place
that
are
needed
within
the
department
of
public
works,
but
that
would
be
expenditures
through
the
equipment
leasing
authority.
So
could
you
just
sort
of
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
B
Sure
there's
a
number
of
impacts
here,
so
the
first
is
restoration
of
positions
that
were
frozen
and
then
ultimately
eliminated
that
were
vacant.
This
includes
everything
from
22
people
within
operations.
Those
are
the
men
and
women
in
the
streets.
B
On
top
of
that,
it's
restoring
seasonal
labor,
which
is
something
we've
always
had
in
the
past,
and
we
don't
have
this
year.
One
of
the
reasons
you're
hearing
more
concerns,
particularly
in
our
parks
about
growth,
is
we
don't
have
our
seasonal
laborers.
We
always
have
eight
people
within
facilities.
These
are
our
construction
employees.
These
are
our
our
plumbers,
our
electricians,
our
metal
workers,
our
building
operating
engineers,
etc.
B
Plus
investment
in
vehicles
plus
some
transition
of
positions
areas.
Some
areas
were
lowering
admins,
but
more
in
the
field.
Some
areas
were
swapping
to
provide
more
administrative
support
to
somebody
that
needs
it.
Some
places
were,
you
know,
investing
in
a
new
we're
growing
the
city
by
one
supervisor
we're
adding
a
new
supervisor.
B
So
traditionally,
within
the
operations,
the
city
has
only
had
a
supervisor
at
each
division
across
the
city,
we're
actually
creating
kind
of
a
special
initiative
supervisor
that
will
do
things
like
clean
and
lean
snow,
city-wide,
snow
observation,
any
our
city
cuts
programs,
anything
our
our
garbage
litter
can
in
business,
stick
to
cruise
anything
operation
that
crosses
all
divisions
and
doesn't
know
division
boundary
lines
will
be
under
their
supervision.
So
we
thought
that
was
a
critical
area
where
sometimes
things
fall
through
the
cracks
in
our
division
structure.
C
So-
and
I
think
it's
important
at
this
juncture
to
also
stress
that
allocations
don't
mean
immediate,
higher
and
immediate
remediation
of
some
experience
problems
do
we
do
we
know.
I
know
many
businesses
are
suffering
a
worker
shortage.
Do
we
know
that
we
have
applications
or
seeking
application
for
for
competent
or
people
that
have
capacity
to
fill
these
positions.
B
That's
a
great
question:
councilman,
it
depends
on
the
position.
We
don't
post
and
seek
applicants.
If
a
real
position
to
hire
is
not
there,
we
don't
keep
lines
per
se,
something
that
doesn't
exist.
So
some
of
these
we
don't
know.
In
other
cases
we
always
have
a
list
like
our
laborers
or
our
driverless.
B
Those
are
constant,
365
lists
with
our
union
and
we
do
know
we
have
people
on
some
of
those
lists,
but
we
also
know,
as
I
said
historically
how
hard
we've
had
a
time
attracting
candidates
for
school
crossing
guard
over
the
years
or
how
hard
it
is
to
recruit
plumbers.
We
have
struggled
mightily
to
get
anyone
to
apply
to
be
a
plumber,
and
I
expect.
B
To
only
be
worse,
during
this
current
era,
it's
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work
on
many
different
parts
of
the
administration
to
to
recruit
it
and
track
candidates,
and
there's
many
different
reasons
why
these
things
are
challenging.
It
is
not
a
simple
one-word
answer,
but
of
course,
in
many
of
these
things,
the
private
sector
economy
is
doing
very
well
in
city
jobs,
the
price,
the
salary
across
the
board
even
up
to
the
highest
level.
Don't
don't
keep
up.
B
You
know
I'll
pick
an
extreme
example,
but
a
former
assistant
chief
of
police
here
in
pittsburgh,
larry
scarado
was
just
named
chief
of
police
in
fort
lauderdale
florida.
The
public
salary
is
double
what
chief
schubert
makes
for
a
department.
That's
a
third
the
size.
That's
that's
true
for
plumbers,
electricians,
laborers
lawyers,
engineers
planners.
It's
a
constant,
constant
challenge.
B
The
city
has
and
one
that
we'd
all
love
to
address
both
because
we
want
to
pay
our
employees
better
and
what
they
deserve
and
and
earn,
but
also
to
recruit,
and
the
reality
is
we're
we're
already.
You
know
every
year
very
dangerously,
balancing
a
budget
with
the
right
legally
required
amount
in
saving
that
council
put
in
place
as
we
left
at
47,
and
these
are
the
tough
decisions
council
and
administration
have
to
make
in
every
budget
we've
tried
to
do
it.
B
We've
raised
a
lot
of
salaries
in
mayor
peduto's
last
four
years
with
the
we've
reached
since
I
took
over
in
this
drama
four
years,
we've
reached
a
new
union
contract
with
every
single
union
in
the
city
in
my
three
and
a
half
years,
all
of
which
had
significant
increases
in
raises
and
and
other
costs,
and
we've
been
trying
to
do
it
year
by
year,
through
different
departments
for
the
non-union
personnel
as
well.
C
We
have
some
way
to
go
and
I
think
what
you're
going
to
hear
in
this
budget
season
is
a
a
wholesome
discussion
by
council
members
about
how
we
can
perhaps
put
out
a
five-year
plan
to
become
more
competitive
in
in
the
in
the
job
market
and
to
be
able
to
attract
the
best
and
the
brightest
to
be
able
to
do
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
serve
our
constituency
with
the
the
quality
of
personnel
that
they
deserve,
and
so
there.
C
A
C
Won't
happen
overnight
and
that's
why
I'm
suggesting
perhaps
it
is
something
along
the
lines
of
a
five-year
plan
of
how
we
can
graduate
to
do
things
better
than
that.
I
have
a
couple
more
things.
If
that's
okay,
madam
president,
can
I
yeah
so
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
substation
in
the
south
side?
C
You
know,
I
don't
want
to
go
into
you
and
I
and
I
appreciate
your
time
this
morning
we
had
you
know
great
discussion
about
the
the
coveted
restrictions
being
lifted
and
how
people
are
returning
and
perhaps
in
greater
numbers
than
we
had
anticipated
we're
experiencing.
You
know
our
share
problems
and
appreciate
your
help
and
support
in
helping
us
to
to
rectify
that,
along
with
director,
his
rich
and
our
zone
commander
chief
schubert
and
allison
hardin.
C
B
The
answer
is,
I
would
really
refer
you
to
chris
hornstein
to
get
an
affirmative
answer.
I
will
say
that
we
didn't
pick
this
number
out
of
the
blue.
We
asked
director
hornstein
what
he
thought
it
would
cost
and
put
that
in.
So
my
short
answer
would
be
yes,
this
wasn't
a
a
made-up
number,
but
in
terms
of
how
firm
that
is,
you
know
at
the
level
of
analysis,
have
they
done
all
the
sampling
on.
You
know
different
things
that
need
to
be
done.
B
C
Yeah-
and
I
certainly
didn't
mean
to
suggest
that
by
any
means,
the
building
has
its
complications
and
has
for
a
number
of
years,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
building
was.
C
You
know
abandoned
if,
if
you
will,
but
I
I
you
know,
I
know
you
believe
how
critical
that
the
reopening
of
that
is-
and
I
know
constituency
here
believe
how
critical
that
the
commitment
to
reopening
that
is-
and
as
you
and
I
have
talked
many
times
when
mayor
peduto
was
then
councilman
peduto
and
you
were
serving
his
chief
of
staff
every
year
that
we
did
our
five-year
plan
for
recovery
through
under
47.
It
was
always
in
that
47
plan
to
to
open
that
station.
C
So
this
is
not
a
a
new
idea
that
we
just
happen
to
have,
because
there
happens
to
be
money,
there's
probably
a
solid
10
year
history
in
the
desire
to
to
get
the
station
up
and
running
again.
So
I
appreciate
your
your
commitment
to
that.
Can
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
this,
the
social
service
aspects
of
of
expanding
the
work
that
we're
doing
through
the
the
office
of
health
and
community
services?
C
I
hope
I
said
that
right
at
ahn
and
laura
dagowski
and
to
expand
that
to
all
the
zones
you
and
I
have
had
ample
conversation
about
how
critical
that
is,
especially
in
in
district
three
and
the
and
the
zone,
three
police.
C
But
can
you
also,
if
you're
able
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
responsibility
that
the
county
has
to
assist
in
in
balancing
the
you
know,
the
the
funds
that
are
expended
from
from
the
city
and
a
way
to
sort
of
partner
that
funding
with
county
to
to
have
to
effectuate,
better
outcomes,
because
a
large
portion
of
social
services,
as
we
all
know,
lie
within
the
county?
So
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about?
Are
there
communications
along
that
line.
B
Absolutely
and
we
have
a
really
strong
partnership
with
the
new
director
of
dhs
at
the
county.
Aaron
dalton
who's
been
there
for
many
years
and
is
a
fantastic
leader
for
that
organization,
in
working
with
them
on
allocations,
they
have
through
through
federal
efforts.
Things
like
the
new
homeless
shelter
on
second
avenue
is
a
great
partnership
between
the
city
and
county.
I
think
we'll
have
some
exciting
announcements
in
the
coming
I'd
like
to
say
weeks.
B
If
I
can
be
optimistic,
maybe
maybe
that
becomes
months
and
darn
some
time
around
diversion
in
our
diversion
efforts.
Citywide
that
has
been
a
great
partnership
not
only
with
the
county
but
with
other
municipalities.
B
So
the
county
is
a
critical
partner.
Dhs
is,
of
course,
the
leading
social
service
provider,
but
when
you
look
around
the
country
at
the
best
model-
and
certainly
I
would
say
we
were
ahead
of
our
times
with
the
work
laura
jorgowski
was
doing
in
the
mayor's
office,
but
admittedly
was
one
person
and
the
you
know
a
number
of
the
incidents
and
murders
around
the
country.
B
George
floyd,
at
the
top
of
the
list,
but
but
others
have
really
highlighted
the
question
of
who
responds
to
what
crisis
and
what
training
do
they
receive
and
what
is
the
appropriate
intervention?
We.
C
B
Always
had
resolve
in
allegheny
county
and
different
functions
that
are
out
there,
but
it's
clear
that
cities
themselves,
whether
or
not
they
run
the
human
service
agency
need
to
have
a
role
in
that
and
this
co-responder
model
is
working
fantastically
so
far.
We're
seeing
great
success
in
who
we're
partnering,
who
we're
hiring
the
other
build
out,
and
you
know
if
I
may
encourage
council
to
maybe
do
a
post
agenda
with
laura
and
her
team
on
what
they're
doing
so.
She
can
give
much
better
details.
B
We've
hired
some
incredible
people,
including
the
head
of
the
social
work
program
at
carlow
university,
to
run
our
social
worker
efforts,
really
attracting
top
notch
and
getting
national
attention
for
it.
This
this
money
will
really
set
it
up
for
the
next
two
years.
I
would
say
between
this
and
the
reopener
money
coming
from
the
trust
fund,
that
ochs
can
don't
know
how
to
say
it
without
stunning
way
too
cheesy
they'll
get
their
wings
and
spread
them
and
fly.
B
You
know
in
these
two
years
and
then
that
will
allow
council
in
the
next
administration
to
really
then
analyze
what
what
direction
without
worrying
about
do.
We
have
enough
money
for
tomorrow
this
kind
of
provides
that
security
to
then
take
the
time.
Do
the
data
analysis
track
your
numbers?
Look
at
calls
for
service
all
the
things
I
know.
You'll
do
and
then
decide
what
the
future
is
two
years
from
now
or
18
months.
From
now,.
C
So,
chief
gilman,
I
I
suspect,
there'll
be
two
things.
You'll
take
away
from
the
relationship
you
and
I
have
had
on
council.
I
can
see
you
smiling
already.
You
know
one
of
them.
I
have
to
say
that
I
am
the
common
denominator
in
all
my
relationships
and
number
two.
We
plan
to
manage
success
and
we
police
failure
and
the
you
know
this
idea
that
every
situation,
it's
appropriate
to
send
an
officer
in
with
a
police,
an
officer
in
with
a
gun.
C
Hopefully,
if
anything
has
come
out
of
the
the
protest
of
of
the
summer
that
we
have
learned
loud
and
clear
that
there
are
better
ways
to
respond
any
number
of
different
situations
and
that
this
idea
that,
if
we
fail
to
plan
and
manage
as
administrators
and
elected
leaders
and
systems,
fail
that
we
just
hand
it
off
to
police
officers
and
that's
just
simply
no
longer
the
way
that
we
that
we
do
things-
and
you
know-
and
I
applaud
I
applaud
protesters,
and
I
applaud
the
the
administration
for
hearing
loud
and
clear
that
that
that
we
we
can
and
will
do
better
and
we
will
put
systems
in
place
to
make
certain
that
that
we
respond
to
situations
accurately
and
effectively
and
that
not
every
situation
needs
to
have
a
police
officer
with
a
gun
respond.
C
A
couple
other
things
that
I'd
like
to
talk
about.
If
I
could
please,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
land
bank.
There
is
some
reservation.
I've
expressed
with
you
some
of
my
reservation
about
putting
additional
monies
into
the
land
bank
I'll
continue
to
have
those
conversations
with
you,
or
continue
to
have
those
conversations
with
council
members
and
and
anxious
to
hear
what
the
public
at
large
has
to
say
in
the
two
public
hearings
that
will
be
scheduled
to
talk
about
additional
funding
into
the
land
bank.
C
But
that
is
something
that
I
would
like
to
explore
deeper
with
you.
I
won't
take
up
time
here
to
do
because
I
know
other
members
wish
to
have
audience
with
you
as
well,
but
I
just
wanted
to
be
honest
and
up
front
that
that
is
the
one
point
where
I
do
have
some
reservation.
B
And,
and
if
I
may,
you
know
I'm
sure
I'll
respect
not
to
get
into
it
now,
I
would
encourage,
as
this
conversation
takes
place,
that
we
have
lindsay
powell
at
the
table
as
she
assumed
that.
C
B
Only
thing
I
will
just
say
is,
I
I
hear
understand
and
share
on
at
times,
10
your
frustration
with
where
the
land
bank
is,
but
I
strongly
strongly
believe
we
do
not
give
up
on
it.
This
model
works
in
pennsylvania
and
around
the
country.
We
haven't
done
it
right,
but
money
and
legislation
can
change
that
it.
I
still
believe
it
is
the
right
model
for
pittsburgh
and
for
blight
in
our
our
neighborhoods
as
a
tool
in
the
toolbox.
B
Not
the
only
tool
and
I'd
strongly
encourage
council
to
not
give
up
and
to
really
give
this
new
leadership
team
the
chance
to
show
that
it
can
work.
C
Yeah-
and
I
know
chief
powell's
on
the
call
here
now-
I
don't
want
to
take
the
time
here,
but
I
would
love
to
set
up
a
time
with
you
directly
where
you-
and
I
can
you
know-
have
a
much
more
rounded
conversation
about
new
leadership.
You
know
how
it
is
housed
in
ura
now
and
the
hope
for
a
brighter
tomorrow,
if
you
will
and
and
I'll
feel
better
about
allocating
dollars,
but
I'm
just
not
there
yet.
But
I'd
appreciate
your
time.
Director
powell
we
could.
We
could
do
that.
C
The
the
urgency
of
our
rec
centers
is
another
a
really
important
point.
I
appreciate
that
there's
funding
going
into
our
rec
centers.
I
don't
know
if
you've
had
an
opportunity
to
get
up
to
mckinley.
Yet
I
know
you
you
do
get
out
there
and
I
know
you
meet
with
richard
harrington,
often
what
they
are
doing
at
mckinley,
rec,
n
right
now
is
anything
short
of
outstanding.
C
I
was
able
to
be
privy
to
be
at
mckinley
wreck
for
the
first
day
of
the
summer
programming
and
it
it
was
a
flashback
to
my
youth
to
just
see
hundreds
of
kids
active
and
programmed
and
cared
for
and
fed
and
engaged
in
a
wonderful
social
situation
and
and
they're
doing
great.
I
mean
amazing
work
at
mckinney
wreck
and
the
one
limitation
we
have
there
is
this
the
structure
and
you-
and
I
have
talked
about
this-
I
appreciate
it.
C
My
my
full
support
is
the
money
being
allocated
to
the
rec
centers,
but
the
the
instant
that
these
monies
are
passed.
I'm
going
to
be
asking
for
us
to
to
put
out
rfps
for
contracts
to
make
certain
that
that
roof
is
repaired
as
quickly
as
we
can
humanly.
Possibly
do
it
and
then
the
last
thing
I'd
really
like
to
say
is:
I
know
that
there
has
been
some
question
of
council
members
about
whether
or
not
it
is
appropriate
to
spend
the
funding.
C
Now
I
know
we
have
a
new
administration
ultimately
coming
in,
regardless
of
who
the
public
decides
to
elect
in
november
to
come
in
and
be
a
new
administration.
I
I
do
want
to
say-
and
I
don't
want
to
plenty
punches-
that
this
mayor
this
administration
and
this
council
saw
everything
about
this
pandemic.
C
We
lived
the
pandemic
and
everything
about
it
and
how
it
affected
the
operations
of
city
government,
the
the
weight
and
the
pressure
that
I
know
it
put
on
the
mayor
to
be
able
to
lead
us
through
this
incredibly
difficult
time.
The
administration
that
stepped
up
to
do
the
work
that
needed
to
be
done
under
incredibly
difficult
situations
and
this
city
council
who's
shown
shown
through
this
this
process.
C
Unlike
any
thing
that
I've
ever
seen
and
I've
seen
this
council
perform
great
things,
but
this
council
stood
up
strapped
on
their
their
big
boy
pants
and
met
the
the
critical
need
that
was
necessary
to
deliver
for
for
the
constituency
that
we
represent,
and
so,
if,
if
anyone
has
an
intimate
and
full
knowledge
of
impact
and
effect
that
cobit
has
had
on
the
people
we
represent.
C
It
is
this
mayor,
his
administration
and
this
council,
and
I
am
beyond
comfortable
with
the
the
the
council,
this
mayor
and
this
administration
allocating
these
dollars
these
necessary
dollars.
Now,
when
when
need
is
so
very
critical,
so
I
it's
just
important
that
I
that
I
say
that
put
that
put
that
out
there
and.
Madam
president,
I
appreciate
I
took
a
whole
lot
of
time.
I
bet
I
had
a
lot
to
say
and
everyone
that's
here.
C
I
appreciate
that
you
allowed
me
to
to
do
that
and
chief
gilman
and
the
administrators
are
here.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming
before
council.
This
is
an
incredibly
important
allocation
of
funds
and
it
deserves
due
diligence
and
it
deserves
public
input
which
thank
you,
madam
president.
We
will
begin
gathering
on
saturday
morning
and
next
monday
night,
so.
B
Madam
president,
if
I
may
councilman
thank
you
for
your
comments,
I
think
there's
four
really
important
points
to
make
on
that
number
one.
We
all
lobbied,
and
we
being
everyone
on
this
call,
but
a
much
broader.
We
for
the
american
rescue
plan,
because
the
need
of
american
american
families
was
urgent.
It
was
severe
and
the
economy
and
our
families
needed
it.
B
I
think
it
would
be
disingenuous
and
dangerous
to
hold
off
on
spending
on
some
of
those
critical
areas
for
a
year
when
you're
talking
about
some
of
the
most
imminent
in
needs
that
are
that
are
out
there.
The
second
is
remember:
we
have
to
spend
this
money
in
four
years,
not
allocate
but
spend
if
we
lose
the
one
of
those
four
years.
I
think
the
city
would
have
a
hard
time
spending.
Some
of
that,
if
you
assume
a
new
mayor
would
get
in
analyze
present
a
plan
go
to
council
et
cetera.
B
The
third
is,
of
course,
the
next
mayor
has
every
right
to
change
it.
We
don't
file
this
plan
with
the
federal
government.
It
is
not
locked
in
the
next
mayor
would
have
every
right
just
like
they
do
with
the
budget
to
come
to
council,
and
I
can
guarantee
you
they'll
need
to.
I
mean
this
is
a
snapshot
of
four
years
sitting
here
in
in
may
june
july
of
2021.
I
fully
expect
the
next
mayor
needs.
B
Will
change
issues
will
shift,
the
economy
will
move,
and
I
would
expect
the
next
mayor
and
council
to
amend
as
needed
and
then
the
last
thing
is
your
point.
Mayor
peduto
was
elected
to
a
four-year
term
and
took
an
oath
of
office
to
serve
the
city
for
four
years.
B
I
can
tell
you
if
you
come
over
here
right
now,
this
floor
side
of
the
hall
is
booming
and
bustling,
with
great
staff
working
tirelessly
for
the
taxpayers
through
the
end
of
the
year,
regardless
of
electoral
electoral
outcomes,
and
these
priorities
reflect
where
we
see
needs
from
mental
health
crisis,
to
affordable
housing,
to
small
businesses,
to
artists
to
city
operation
and
we'll
we'll
do
the
same
with
the
budget
we
present
to
council,
of
where
we
see
the
next
year
for
the
city
and
then
allow
the
next
mayor,
of
course,
to
amend
as
needed
to
meet
his
or
her.
B
I
guess
in
this
case
likely
his
but
his
or
her
desires
to
see
the
awkward
cities
operate.
The
way
they
were
elected
to
do
so.
C
A
Thank
you
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
do
think
that
I'm
glad
you're
asking
the
questions.
The
purpose
of
this
meeting
is
so
that
the
public
knows
what
we're
doing
so.
I'm
really
glad
that
everybody's
taking
the
time
it
is
going
to
take
some
time
to
get
through
this
meeting.
So
I
appreciate
everyone's
patience
with
that
said.
Any
other
members,
councilman
coghill.
E
Oh,
thank
you.
Madam
president,
chief
gilman
welcome.
A
E
Outcomes-
man,
wilson
next,
I'm
sorry,
okay,
chief
gilman,
welcome
and
I
first
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying
you
know
I
was
so
pleased
with
our
conversation
the
other
day
for
you
not
quitting,
or
you
know
forgetting
about
important
projects
in
my
district,
that's
going
to
come
to
fruition
after
you're
gone,
so
you
know
you're
a
true
professional.
E
You
know
I've
enjoyed
working
with
you
and
I
know
we
still
have
a
little
more
work
to
do
here,
but
but
no
I
really
appreciate
that,
and
on
top
of
that
you
know,
your
entire
department
heads
some
of
which
are
on
here
today-
have
all
been
really
professional
and
for
the
most
part,
have
been
really
good
experiences.
So
so
they
reflect
you
and
you
know
again,
you're
a
true
professional.
I
appreciate
you
not
giving
up
on
the
projects
that
we
had
started
and
showing
them
your
attention.
E
So
with
that
said,
you
know
I
don't
have
much
with
this.
You
know
there
are
a
few
things.
I
heard
a
lot
about
electric
vehicles.
You
know
I'm
more
concerned,
at
least
for
this
winter,
for
you
know,
five-ton
dump
trucks,
and
you
know
plows
that
run
the
old-fashioned
way,
at
least
for
my
own
comfort
level.
E
You
know
that
tobacco,
you
know
the
disaster
we
had
over
here
and
I
just
want
to
be
assured
that
before
we
go,
spend
the
money
on
electric
vehicles
that
we
have
a
full
fleet
and
I've
noticed
a
lot
of
the
trucks
that
were
you
know
in
and
around
my
neighborhood
one
from
like
1979,
you
know
rusting
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
those
vehicles
are
up
to
par
come
this
winter,
because
you
know
I
don't
want
to
face
what
I
faced
last
year
and
the
employees
as
well.
E
B
Sure
I'll
take
it
in
reverse
order
in
terms
of
the
employees.
As
I
noted
this
funds,
not
only
20,
plus
laborers
back
in
public
works,
it
also
funds
the
seasonal
laborers
and
as
soon
as
we
start
being
able
to
allocate
the
parks
tax.
That
should
be
another
40
to
50
laborers
being
hired
by
the
city.
B
So
I
would
say
by
it,
won't
be
by
january,
but
by
sometime
next
year
you
likely
will
see
75,
more
laborers
or
so
than
we
are
well
60
to
75
more
labors
than
where
we
are
today,
which
should
make
a
and
when
I
say
laborers,
I
include
drivers
in
in
that.
I
should
be
technical
and
careful
in
that.
To
the
second
point,
I
hear
you
loud
and
clear,
and
I
will
work
with
kevin
paulus
to
get
you
an
update
with
brandon
on
our
fleet
and
our
projections.
B
I
would
only
note
that
there
are,
in
some
cases,
restrictions
on
how
we
can
spend
arp
dollars
in
investing
in
climate
resilience
is
a
more
eligible
use
than
not,
and
so,
if
you're
able
to
use
arp
to
buy
certain
vehicles
that
then
free
up
your
ability
to
use
your
traditional
ela
bond
dollars
for
other
vehicles.
B
There
is
some
some
swapping
that
makes
sense,
but
I
I
will
follow
up
kevin
if
you
can
take
a
note
to
have
a
conversation
with
brandon
on
public
works
and
get
the
councilman
a
good
breakdown
on
where
we
are
with
vehicle.
E
B
Even
if
it
means
you
and
I
doing
it,
the
answer
is
yes,
we
absolutely
a
hundred
percent.
Are
it
actually
goes
before
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment
on
july
15th,
so
nine
days
from
now,
they
need
to
get
a
special
exception
for
a
continuation
of
a
non-conforming
use.
I've
already
talked
to
the
board
and
said
obviously
no
influence
on
how
they
vote,
but
whatever
their
vote
is,
if
they
could
expedite
a
decision
if
they
vote,
no,
we
have
to
go
back
and
redesign
if
they
vote.
B
Yes,
we
can
proceed
whatever
it
may
be.
I've
just
made
it
clear
that
we
need
an
intermediate
decision,
so
we
can
advance
that
as
soon
as
we
get
through
july,
15th
and
pli
is
standing
by
ready
to
review
the
drawings
as
soon
as
the
zoning
board
rules.
E
Okay,
that's
that's
comforting
real
quickly.
We
touched
base
on
this.
The
other
day
when
we
talked
is
the
pwsa.
E
B
So
there
there's
two
reasons
or
even
three
really
number
one
pwsa
took
a
revenue
hit
much
like
parking
authority
and
the
city
and
others
did,
and
they
received
no
direct
funding
from
the
arp
plan.
Unlike
some
of
the
county
agencies
like
the
port
authority
or
the
airport
authority
who
did
receive.
E
B
I
didn't
know
if
I
should
stop
so
some
of
the
county
agencies
did
receive
direct.
We
did
not.
None
of
our
agencies
did
so.
We
had
to
fund
that.
So
there
is
a
revenue
loss.
There
number
one
number
two:
we
want
the
lead
out
of
the
water
anything
we
can
do
to
get
it
out
faster.
B
We
want
to
spend
our
dollars
on
and
number
three
and
again.
This
gets
very
in
the
weeds,
which
I
apologize
to
the
public
for
water
infrastructure
is
a
directly
allowed
allocation
of
the
american
rescue
plan.
Many
of
the
stuff
that
people
are
talking
about
wanting
to
see
you-
and
I
talked
about
demo
and
I've
already
asked
kevin
to
start
to
look
at
that
and
follow
up
with
you.
Demo
is
not
an
allowed
use,
so
that
would
have
to
fall
under
the
lost
revenue
category.
B
That
is,
the
city
would
have
done
this,
but
for
covid
lost
revenue
we
can
do
it.
That's
how
we
can
do
something
like
demo,
but
we
can't
use
we're
capped
on
our
lost
revenue
so
being
able
to
fund
things
like
water
infrastructure
actually
gets
the
extra
bonus
of
being
its
own
legal
category
that
doesn't
all
fund
under
fall
under
lost
revenue.
E
Okay-
and
I
understand
that,
but
you
know-
and
I
know
you
know
what's
probably
coming
next
from
me-
is
that
I
could
point
to
many
things
in
the
city
that
our
taxpayer
dollars
go
to,
that
my
district
doesn't
quite
receive
a
benefit
from,
and
I
am
fine
with
that,
because
there
are
needs
in
other
parts
of
town
that
I
see
more
important
than
my
part
of
town.
E
So
I'm
always
in
vogue,
I'm
always
in
favor
of
voting
for
things
that
I
feel
are
city
issues
that
don't
quite
come
back
to
the
fourth
district,
and
this
is
why,
with
pwsa,
this
kind
of
gnaws
at
me,
because
you
know
we
don't
have
pwsa,
we
we
rely
on
pen,
american
and
we
have
to
replace
our
lead
lines.
Our
rates
go
up
and
you
know
so
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is.
We
have.
E
Over
here,
but
is
it
fair
in
your
opinion,
where,
if
we
have
20
million
dollars
going
to
pwsa
that
we
could
somehow,
however,
we
shift
or
move
money
to
go
towards
problems
that
I
have
real
problems
that
I
have
in
the
way
of
infrastructure?
You
know
pwsa's
infrastructure
and
I
I
understand
it's
got
to
be
under
the
water.
You
know
eligibility
type
things,
but
so
it's
hard
for
me
to
explain.
You
know
when
we're
putting
20
million
into
pwsa
a
division.
E
B
Sure,
no
probably
not,
but
what
I
can
say
is
you
know
we
took
a
very
long
look
at
a
huge
amount
of
need
in
the
city
I
mean
I
could
easily
come
to
you
with
a
billion
dollar
spending
plan
and
still
not
do
everything
all
of
us
would
want
to
see
and
had
to
make
tough
decisions
that
we
thought
had
the
greatest
impact
citywide.
B
There
are
specific
things
for
your
district,
like
broadway
avenue.
You
know
that
we
talked
about
or
you
know
those
physically,
not
in
your
district.
You
know,
division
four,
you
know
and
certainly
priorities.
You
had
expressed
and
tried
to
look
at
those
top
top
priorities
for
certain
council
districts,
but
also
through
an
equity
lens
of
recognizing
there
are.
B
There
are
parts
of
the
city
that
haven't
seen
the
investment
from
the
private
sector
that
others
have
seen,
or
there
are
parts
of
the
city
with
greater
levels
of
light,
remediation,
higher
levels
of
unemployment,
lack
of
government
infrastructure
and
try
to
balance
those.
B
I
certainly
hear
and
understand
your
point
on
pwsa
and
your
your
rep
residents
not
even
receiving
their
services
at
all,
and
you
know,
heard
you
loud
and
clear
on
on
the
demo,
and
you
know
we're
looking
to
see
you
know
if
we
can
make
some
of
those
changes
to
get
you
some
of
those
additional
dollars
in
a
way
that
complies
with
the
plan.
C
E
This
is
just
one
more
way
where
I
feel
like.
Well,
you
know
what,
let's
I
you
know,
I
got
a
thousand
places.
I
could
put
that
that
money,
whatever
the
percentage
is
two
million
dollars.
We
could,
you
know
just
say
off
the
top
of
our
heads,
but
but
anyway,
you
know
so
it's
it's
hard
for
me
to
support
that,
but
but
we'll
talk
further
offline
on
that,
I
won't
belabor
that
the
other
thing
is
the
land
bank.
You
know
the
land
bank.
E
I
was
like
what
or
what
you
so
so
here's
the
thing
right
just
tell
me
how
that
10
million
dollars
is
going
to
be
used
in
order
to
make
that
successful.
In
what
way
you
know
what
I
mean,
are
we
hiring
super
knowledgeable
people
with
that
money?
What
do
we
do
with
the
money.
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
was
gonna
say
about
the
land
bank.
The
this
funding
will
particularly
be
for
acquisition
and
rehab,
and
so
for
the
land
bank
in
particular.
As
I'm
sure
all
of
you
know,
looking
at
some
of
the
blighted
areas
within
your
districts,
it
is
very
expensive
sometimes
to
to
get
the
liens
and
such
off
of
these
properties.
What
the
land
bank
does,
the
you
know,
structure
overall
will
be
to
remove
any
monies
owed
from
the
three
taxing
bodies.
G
We
are,
the
closest
we've
ever
been
since
the
land,
the
land
bank's
origin,
of
making
sure
that
that
agreement
between
ourselves,
the
county
and
the
school
district
is
signed,
and
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
the
new
management
at
the
land
bank,
as
well
as
with
the
land
bank
board,
to
move
forward
with
that
signed
agreement.
The
money
that
the
land
bank
will
be
using
will
be
to
again
purchase,
but
also
stabilize
a
lot
of
these
places
for
our
structured
parcels.
G
G
It
makes
sense
to
get
it
off
of
kind
of
public
ownership
back
into
the
tax
rolls
that
person
may
not
be
able
to
rehab
that
house
by
themselves.
I
think,
what's
really
important
about
funding
the
land
bank
at
this
time,
in
conjunction
with
some
of
the
other
programs
we
talked
about
is
layering.
G
We
want
to
make
sure
that
when
it
comes
to
moving
a
blighted
parcel
to
a
parcel,
that's
back
on
the
tax
rolls
and
has
a
first-time
home
buyer
in
it
that
we're
able
to
use
as
many
different
sources
of
funding
as
possible
so
having
the
land
bank
being
able
to
kind
of
recycle
that
land
getting
the
liens
off
of
it,
acquiring
it
going
to
the
ura
for
possible
additional
rehab
funding.
G
The
land
bank
is
a
critical,
a
critical
step
in
making
sure
that
again
we're
using
our
resources
wisely
and
that
we're
able
to
utilize
this
tool
that
you
know
moves
in
a
way
that
the
city
can't
move.
Nor
can
the
ura.
E
And
I'll
tell
you
the
truth
is.
I
would
feel
a
lot
more
comfortable
with
that
money.
If
I
were
on
that
board,
I
think
you
know
I
can
bring
a
lot
to
the
table
there
and
lindsay.
What
I
hear
you
saying
is
that
most
of
that
money
will
be
used
to
acquire
properties
that
have
tax
liens
on.
Is
that
right.
H
E
G
Yeah,
so
at
its
very
basic
core,
what
the
land
bank
has
the
power
to
do,
which
the
city
nor
the
ura
can
is
to
basically
have
an
agreement
that
would
forgive
any
taxes
owed
on
that
property,
but
you
still
need
to
purchase
the
property
outright,
and
so
that
would
be
the
acquisition
cost
that
we're
talking
about
when
we've
talked
about
you
know
what's
next
for
the
land
bank,
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity-
and
I
believe
you
and
I've-
talked
about
this
councilman.
But
you
know
how
do
we
include?
G
You
know
our
trades
into
this
work.
So
if
there
are
opportunities
for
you
know,
trades
folks
who
might
need
to
apprentice
on
a
house
where
they
have
to
you
know
either
build
up
the
sighting
or
what
have
you
that
they
can
use
our
land
bank
properties,
not
just
in
a
way
that
again
brings
that
person
to
a
homeownership
opportunity
but
also
includes
a
workforce.
G
You
know
component
to
it,
but
again
it's
very
basic
core,
with
the
10
million
dollars,
we'll
be
able
to
acquire
land
and
we'll
be
able
to
move
parcels
faster
through
our
process.
If
we're
kind
of
doing
it
a
one
by
one
way,
it
actually
kind
of
defeats,
the
I
don't
say
powers,
but
that
defeats
some
of
the
privileges
that
the
land
bank
has
by
being
able
to
large
batch
title
clearing,
which
you
can't
do
as
a
city
entity
or
you
are
a
entity.
But
yes,
overall,
it
will
be
for
acquisition
costs.
G
I
wouldn't
be
able,
unfortunately,
give
you
a
percentage
right
now,
but
I
will
say,
though,
the
concern
is
staffing.
You
know
the
arp
funding.
Only
a
smaller
percentage
can
go
to
like
paying
for
people
to
do
the
work,
and
so
I
I'm
happy
to
come
back
to
you
with
a
better
idea
of
what
that
breakdown
would
be
staffing
versus
operational
dollars,
but
we're
also
at
a
place
now,
finally,
at
the
land
bank
that
we're
staffed
up
in
a
way
that's
more
comfortable
than
we
were.
G
E
That's
that's
good,
I'm
all
for
acquiring
properties.
You
know
whether
they
just
sit
there.
If
we
have
a
structure
on
them,
we
take
it
down.
If
it's
you
know
unrehabable,
however,
I
think
we
have
to
be
very
careful
with
trying
to
rehab
structures
that
we
have
and
throwing
money
into
something
that
you
know
just
is
not
worth
it.
I
am
you
know,
so
I
fear
that
a
little
bit.
E
I
think
I
see
that
in
the
you
know,
the
affordable
housing
act
that
we
have
with
the
10
million
dollars
comes
there
a
year,
and
I
won't
get
into
all
the
details
there,
but
I
feel
like
we're
kind
of
acting
in
the
same
way
with
the
land
bank
as
to
what
they
do,
but
but
but
okay
yeah.
I
just
need
a
better
comfort
level
with
with
the
land
bank
and
pwsa,
and
you
know
we
we
could
talk
offline
on
that.
E
I
don't
want
to
eat
up
too
much
time,
but
thanks
again,
all
the
directors
you
guys
have
been
great
dan.
Always
you
know,
thanks
for
you
know
being
there
for
me.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
chief
gilman
and
and
your
administration
for
coming
coming
today,
and
this
really
has
been
a
a
lot
of
good
facts
that
we've
been
talking
about
about
these
allocations.
F
I
had
I
had
some
questions
that
are
just
about
the
you
know
the
whole
335
million
just
in
general
and
how
we
calculated
lost
revenue.
He
said
there
was
a
tool
that
the
arp
provided,
because
I'm
looking
at
specifically
I'm
looking
at
the
line
in
the
city
operating
budget
for
the
to
prevent
to
prevent
the
elimination
of
city
employees
and
how
that
continues
on
for
four
years
and
actually
increases
in
like
the
third
year.
F
B
So,
to
answer
your
question
and
to
be
very
clear:
yes,
this
plan
will
make
it
so
layoffs
are
not
on
the
table
or
something
facing
the
city
of
pittsburgh
over
the
four
years,
this
plane,
given
current
economic
condition,
that
that
is
what
we
address
as
we
avoid
the
need
for
layoffs
in
the
city
into
the
formulas,
kevin
or
patrick.
If
you
want
to.
A
D
This
is
going
to
be
a
working
plan
because
we
cannot
capture
the
lost
revenue
dollar
amount
until
our
revenue,
our
revenue
collections
for
that
year
are
finalized
right.
So
right
now,
when
you
look
at
the
loss
revenue
category,
we
have
amounts
in
there
based
on
our
revenue
projections
on
where
we
think
our
revenues
as
a
city
are
going
to
end
up.
D
The
the
delta
of
that
is
what
we
are
able
to
capture,
but,
as
we
move
year
over
year,
is
really
when
we're
going
to
go
back
and
say:
okay,
this
is
where
we
ended
up.
This
is
how
it
compares
to
that
revenue
formula,
and
thus
this
is
how
much
we
can
put
in
that
loss
revenue
category
bucket.
F
All
right,
thank
you.
Now,
the
you
know.
Throughout
this
pandemic
I've
I've
heard
that
we
we
essentially
spent
most
of
the
rainy
day
fund.
Do
these
funds
allow
us
to
put
that
in
the
line
item
to
restore
that
fund.
D
No,
they
do
not
per
the
per
the
treasury
guidelines.
We
are
not
allowed
to
capture
lost
revenue
and
deposit
that
back
into
just
our
general
fund.
Throughout
the
pandemic
we
depleted
our
rainy
day
fund
by
about
50
50
million.
D
Thankfully
we
had
a
very
hefty
general
fund
balance,
so
we
did
not
have
to
lay
anyone
off
during
2020,
although
we
did
know
that
at
some
point
in
2021
we
were
going
to
have
to
do
that
if
these
funds
did
not
come,
which
is
how
that
workforce
reduction
was
worked
into
the
budget
and
to
answer
your
earlier
question:
councilman.
The
reason
that
number
graduates
every
year
is
just
because
of
the
benefit
costs
and
wage
increases
per
cds
that
happen
year
over
year.
So
it's
you
know.
D
F
Okay,
thank
you.
So,
in
terms
of
restoring
a
fund,
you
know
like
any
like
any
bond
rating.
You
know
we
want
to
see
revenue.
You
know
these
entities
that
would
you
know,
supply
us
with
bonds
and
we
would
enter
into
those
agreements
and
they
keep
our
rating.
What
would
be
the
the
you
know
the
plan,
for
that?
Will
we
see
that
in
the
next
budget
I
mean.
B
You
know
this
is,
and
I
know
they
mixed
together.
You
know
talking
about
the
the
arp
plan,
but
for
the
public's
sake
we
did
introduce
entire
reopening
of
the
city
budget
and
there
are
other
moves
that
are
done
through
that
process
based
off
actuals
of
spending
in
line
items
which,
again,
actually
you
know
some
of
the
the
media
inquiries
have
been.
B
Why
are
we
talking
about
four
years
in
five
years
when
we're
not
going
to
be
in
office,
and
the
answer
is
by
city
law,
we
have
to
avoid
act,
47
never
happening
again.
The
city
doesn't
look
at
a
one-year
projection,
because
that
gets
us
into
the
mess
that
we
are
in.
So
for
opening
the
budget.
We
have
to
show
you
what
this
does
over
the
five
years
and
through
that
reopener
plus
what
will
come
to
you
with
the
budget?
This
fall.
You
know.
B
We
hope
that
you
will
find,
and
obviously
that's
the
council's
most
important
job,
that
we're
showing
you
a
budget,
that's
physically
responsible
and
puts
the
city
back
in
solid
footing,
not
only
as
the
responsible
thing
to
do,
but
what's
mandated
again
by
council
post
at
47
with
the
rules
on
on
spending
and
saving
so
that
we
never
end
up
back
in
act.
47
again.
F
Okay,
all
right
thanks.
I
believe
that
answers
a
lot
of
that
about
the
you
know
globally.
What
this?
What
this
money
does?
I
had
a
question
about
the
the
three
percent
wage
increase.
When
would
that
take
effect
for
city
employees.
B
Kevin
correct
me
if
I
say
this
wrong
please,
but
this
would
it
would
take
effect
upon
council
passage.
It
may
have
signature,
but
this
number
is
a
retroactive
number,
so
we
would
actually
make
a
lump
sum
payment
to
employees
for
what
they
would
have
earned
this
year.
It
wouldn't
just
be
going
forward
from
day
of
effective
date.
Is
that
correct,
kevin.
D
Yeah,
so
we
would
have
to
work
closely
with
our
payroll
team.
D
The
way
this
would
be
administered
is
much
like
a
union
cba
whenever
they
go
into
like
status
quo
for
three
months
until
a
new
agreement
is
reached
at
whatever
time
payroll
can
finalize
the
calculations
and
administer
a
lump
sum
retroactive
payment
that
would
be
given
to
all
of
the
non-union
employees
and
then,
from
that
pay
period
there
on
out
for
the
remaining
of
2021,
those
non-union
hourly
rates
would
be
increased
by
that
three
percent,
so
that
the
paychecks
moving
forward.
That
would
then
be
reflected
of
that
increase.
F
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
for
that.
I
had
a
question
about
the
land
maintenance,
the
the
line
item-
it's
15
1.5
million
over
each
year.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
our
current
efforts
to
to
you
know,
solve
issues
in
terms
of
vacant
properties.
B
Correct
this
would
be
on
top
of
the
existing
allocation
through
the
three
tv.
B
F
Okay,
all
right,
that's
a
that's
a
good,
that's
an
easy
one.
I
had
a
question
about
the
davis
avenue
bridge
is
that
I
see
that
it's
funded
in
the
third
year.
Does
that
mean
that
the
two,
those
that
two
million
dollars
for
capital
expense
that
would
be
for
the
actual
to
build
it
like
that,
meaning
that
we
could
use
design
money
until
we
get
the
design
and
all
the
studies
to
then
actually
go
and
build
the
bridge.
B
Correct
I'll
make
two
points:
yes,
we
have
the
money
for
design
and
engineering
now
and
in
fact
I
was
going
to
call
you
later.
We've
issued
the
itq
for
design
it's
now
been
awarded,
so
the
full
design
of
the
bridge
is
ongoing.
As
of
the
other
day.
By
the
time
we
design
engineer,
go
to
bid,
get
the
contract
start
work
and
actually
owe
a
payment.
B
B
We
get
checks
in
in
two
different
years,
but
also
by
by
the
law
of
how
we
do
it
and
how
much
money
the
city
can
bring
in
while
keeping
the
right
balances
of
revenues
versus
expenditures
we
we
need
to
spread
this
out
over
the
years.
So
we
you
know
davis
avenue
bridge,
is
a
great
one
to
not
show
the
money
in
year
one
if
we're
not
going
to
spend
it
in
year,
one
anyways.
It
just
takes
up
room
from
a
project
that
we
could
deliver
immediately
to
someone
in
need.
F
Okay
thanks
and
we
all
hope
that
the
price
of
lumber
goes
down
by
that
time.
I
think
for
all
these
projects
and
the
can
you
explain
the
facility
upgrades,
because
I
see
you
know
we
have
capital
for
I'm
sorry,
not
facility
upgrades
for
the
tech
upgrades.
F
So
I
see
that
some
of
these
are
in
the
first
year.
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
how
you
know.
I
see
the
you
know,
for
instance,
cali
rec
center,
there's
the
there's
the
funding
across
the
the
four
years,
and
it
also
has
tech
upgrades.
But
what
does
the
tech
upgrades
be?.
B
Correct
so
again,
the
the
first
number,
which
is
often
the
bigger
number,
is
the
physical
upgrades
to
the
building.
Sometimes
in
the
case
of
cowley
or
jefferson,
you
know
it's
a
whole
whole
new.
You
know
cali
we're,
obviously
demoing
and
building
an
entire
new
building
same
thing
at
robert
e
williams.
In
other
cases,
we're
just
making
renovations
to
the
building.
The
tech
line
item
is
the
actual
work.
B
Basically,
inp
would
do
to
get
the
rec
to
tech,
ready
with
the
right
wiring
and
build
out,
and
the
reason
it's
split
out
is
again
the
the
tech.
The
broadband
is
a
legally
allowable
use
of
the
arp
fund,
so
we're
able
to
put
that
in
a
different
category
than
the
facility
upgrade.
So
that's
the
need
to
to
list
it
twice
and
the
reason
they're
in
different
years
again.
We
need
to
spread
it
down
over
four
for
budgetary
purposes
and
for
something
like
cowley.
That
needs
to
be
designed,
engineered
and
built.
B
It's
going
to
take
a
while
before
it's
ready
for
the
wiring
versus,
say
mckinley
that
you
know
fix
the
roof
and
we
could
be
ready
to
put
in
the
wiring
still
this
year.
So
we
had
to
face
it
both
for
budgetary
reasons
and
reality
of
of
when
public
works
would
be
ready
with
the
facility.
D
And
if
I,
if
I
could
add
to
that
throughout
the
creation
of
this
plan,
we
worked
very
closely
with
dpw
and
inp
to
discuss.
You
know
what
what
the
phasing
of
that
looks
like
so
assistant
director,
hornstein
phil
savino
from
imp
were
great
partners
in
explaining.
You
know
not
only
just
how
much
we
need
for
those
upgrades,
but
when
it
would
be
a
realistic
timeline
of
when
those
upgrades
could
actually
be
implemented
and
a
lot
of
those
times.
F
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
F
I
had
a
question
about
the
community,
land,
trust
and
there's
five
million
dollars
will
that
be
distributed
based
on
application
applications
just
like
we
see
with
neighborhood
economic
development
funds
like
ones
would
this
just
be
community
land
trusts
all
across
the
city
that
are
already
up
and
running,
or
is
this
some
other
effort.
B
F
All
right
thanks
I'll,
follow
up
with
them
one.
Second,
I
just
want
to
get
my
place
here.
I
did
have
a
I
want
to
make
a
you
know.
I
wanted
to
commend
the
the
administration
on
their
funding
for
the
ahm
program.
It's
in
my
district,
as
in
you
know,
one
of
the
three
zones.
I
have
it
in
in
zone
one,
and
this
is
the
ahn's
urban
poverty
and
homelessness,
outreach
team
and
me
and
my
office.
F
We
work
closely
with
with
with
this
entity
and
it's
just
critical
for
helping
individuals
that
are
around
you
know
in
and
around
the
north
side
and
across
the
city.
I'm
looking
forward
to
you
know
the
full
cooperation
of
zone.
One
to
you
know
continue
to
implement
the
code
response,
and
you
know
funding
like
this
is
you
know?
F
What's
gonna
change
lives
in
terms
of
people
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
people
that
are
experiencing
substance,
use
disorder
and
really
fill
the
gap
of
what
services
we
see
that
aren't
being
implemented.
So
this
is
my
little
plug
to
kind
of
cheer.
F
On
the
you
know,
the
funding
of
programs
like
this
and
how,
as
we
move
forward
as
a
city,
there
will
be
other
initiatives
and
looking
forward
to
them
partnering
with
what,
with
this
initiative,
you
know,
I
I've
been
wondering
for
a
long
time
why
it's
so
critical
that
we
fund
this
outside
the
city.
F
But
why
don't?
We
just
conclude
this
in
a
city
department,
and
I
think
a
major
reason
is.
The
primary
reason
is
that
we
actually,
when
we
partner
with
a
health
system,
we're
able
to
get
access
to
the
to
they're,
able
to
get
access
to
records
immediately
and
actually
help
people
in
place
as
soon
as
when
they
arrive
on
the
situation
or
whenever
they're
working
through
an
issue.
So
it's
you
know,
we
don't
have
that
ability
on
the
city
side
and
you
know
further
sharing
information
with
different
health
systems.
F
So,
for
instance,
if
we
have
access
to
ahn,
we
also
need
access
to
upmc
records.
We
also
need
access
to.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
I
keep
on
saying
we
they
ahn
the
outreach
team,
needs
access
to
all
these
records.
So
looking
forward
to
efforts
to
seamlessly
get
the
share.
Sharing
of
of
of
records
and
and
data
so
that
we
can
further
help
individuals.
F
Lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
so
that
wasn't
a
question
that
was
just
my
little
plug,
but,
lastly,
I
wanted
to
ask
what
is
left
out
of
this
this
funding
so
based
on
you
know.
Essentially
we
talked
about
the
you
know,
having
a
savings
account
that
we're
missing
out
on
now,
but
really
you
know
there
were
guidelines
with
this.
What
is
you
know
a
chief
in
your
in
your
own?
You
know
working
through
these
funds.
What
do
you
see?
B
I
I
mean
that's,
that's
a
fair,
but
a
tough
question.
I
mean
I
I
would
say.
Obviously
we
put
forth
what
we
believe
is
the
best
plan
for
consideration.
So
there's
nothing,
I
would
say,
is
missing
in
terms
of
you
know,
no
one
overruled
us
and
cut
something
out
in
terms
of
what
we
presented
to
council.
B
As
I
noted
I
could
spend
you
know
a
billion
tomorrow.
There
there
are
numerous
infrastructure
projects.
There
are
so
many
more
developments
that
saw
increased
construction
costs,
that
they'd
have
gaps
still
in
financing
for
affordable
housing
development
around
the
city,
there's
so
much
more.
That
could
be
done
with
vacant
land
with
you
know:
land
recycling,
food
access.
You
know,
there's
just
so
many
issues,
of
course
in
our
communities,
more
small
business
loan
programs.
B
You
know
venues
and
stages
rental
assistance
and
we
did
a
lot
of
those
through
the
cares
act
and
the
covet
cv
funding.
So
we're
trying
to
touch
in
different
areas,
but
covid
you
know-
was
obviously
had
a
devastating
impact
on
economic
conditions
across
the
country
created
huge
gaps
in
construction
projects
and
we
are
a
city
with
tremendous
infrastructure
needs
and
economic
development
needs.
F
All
right,
great
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
just
try
to
understand
if
there
were
any
real
constraints
that
were
tied
to
this
funding,
what
I'm
looking
at
in
terms
of
the
allocations
you
know,
I
really
like
to
see
the
investments
that
are
being
made
in
the
allocations
that
are
being
put
forward
here.
So
I
appreciate
everything
that
you
and
your
team
worked
on
and
were
able
to
present.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
will
I'll
give
my
time
to
someone
else.
Thanks
for
answering
questions.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
appreciate
it.
I
want
to
acknowledge,
first
of
all
that
this
is
getting
at
three
o'clock
here,
so
I
realized
we've
all
been
we've
all
been
here
a
while,
but
I
have
lots
and
lots
of
notes
in
front
of
me,
so
I
want
to
appreciate
everyone
from
the
administration
kind
of
helping
us
get
a
lot
more
detail
about
the
plan
that
you
have
proposed.
I
I
Can
you
hear
that
I've
heard
something
weird
that
councilman
krauss
talked
about
the
fact
that
you've
been
in
office
through
covet
as
a
reason
to
do
a
four-year
allocation?
I
But
I
had
my
staff
look
through
our
15
benchmark
cities
and
none
of
the
15
benchmark
cities
have
done
a
four-year
allocation.
12
of
them
have
done.
You
know
one
year
or
partial
allocations
and
they
also
have
been
in
office
during
covet.
So
I
don't.
I
don't
think
that
that
is
really
either
the
concern,
nor
the
answer,
the
concern
and
what
I've
all
we've
also
seen
across
the
15
cities.
I
I
I
So
we
do
have
the
two
public
hearings
coming
up,
but
what
other
cities
are
doing
like
philadelphia
has
been
having
public
hearings
since
march,
even
though
none
of
us
got
the
funds
until
late
may
we
have
cities
like
minneapolis,
allocating,
I
think
their
mayor
just
allocated
a
third
of
their
total
500
million
dollar-
maybe
less
15,
I
think
an
80
million
dollar
allocation
as
to
get
money
out
the
door
right.
That
is
the
thing
that
we're
concerned
about.
I
We
really
do
want
to
get
money
out
the
door
for
those
immediate
needs,
the
pain
that
people
are
having
there
out
there
now
that
these
funds
can
help
address,
and
yet
that's
only
15
of
minneapolis's
total
award
of
500
million,
so
we're
going
kind
of
through
these
cities,
and-
and
what
I
see
is
that,
rather
than
a
wish
list
of
you
know
projects
that
a
city
has
talked
about
for
eight
years,
like
the
land
bank,
like
the
landbag,
which
is
one
of
my
favorite
topics
as
well
right.
I
I
share
that
and
the
potential
for
the
future
city
growth
and,
for
you
know,
solving
long-standing,
decades-long
entrenched
problems
like
abandoned
properties.
The
city
has,
I
think,
we
need
to
hear
from
our
citizens
whether
they
want
these
dollars
to
go
to.
Finally,
unsticking
the
failed.
You
know
land
bank,
which
I
you
know
I
think
has
you
know
we
really
need
to
do.
I
Firstly
kind
of
looking
at
the
suggestions
and-
and
you
know,
ideas-
there's
a
lot
of
rows
with
a
lot
of
ideas
and
deciding
kind
of
which
of
those
to
prioritize,
and
that
are
the
ones
that
we,
you
know,
need
to
move
now,
and
then
there
are
others
that
are
probably
worth
a
really
good
conversation
that
maybe
our
public
will
fully
support
the
allocation
of.
But
it's
it's.
I
I
think
they
deserve
the
time
to
digest
that
and
and
not
to
say,
to
tie
it
up
for
four
years
and
not
to
to
to
you
know
say
is,
I
think,
gilman
said
you
know:
do
nothing
now,
no
one's
talking
about
doing
nothing,
but
that
there's
two
things:
the
kind
of
the
sets
of
things
where
there's
a
especially
down
at
the
bottom
of
your
spreadsheet,
and
I
encourage
everyone
to
pull
up
the
legislation
built.
I
I
think
2021
1652
in
our
legistar
system
of
the
city
website
and
see
that
the
lower
half
of
it
really
is
about
those
capital
projects
which
we
are
talking
about
great
projects
around
rec
centers,
mainly
in
city
neighborhoods,
but
then
these
kind
of
transfers.
I
You
know
millions
of
dollars
transferred
to
the
urban
redevelopment
authority
and
millions
transferred
to
the
land
bank
millions
transferred
to
pwsa.
I
see
it
seems
to
me
that
it's
changed
somewhat.
No,
there
isn't
that's
it's
the
same
as
the
bill
that
was
up
last
week.
I
You
know
10
million
dollars
to
pwsa
and
in
year
one
is
something
to
chew
on
and
then
10
million
dollars
to
pwsa
in
year.
Two
is
something
to
chew
on:
do
we
want
to
do
those
transfers
at
all?
Does
the
public
support
that
money,
and
then
I
think
the
second
area
of
conversation
is
whether
those
belong
in
the
first
column.
I
So
I
I
think
to
pointed
out
that
a
lot
of
these
projects
are
spread
out
over
the
four
years,
even
if
we
all
support
this
project,
you
know
the
the
installments
could
be
spread
out
over
four
years,
and
so
it
looks
to
me
like
they're
front
loaded,
some
of
these
really
big
capital
transfers
that
add
up
to
nearly
a
third,
I
think,
of
the
total
award.
I
If
we
were
to
vote
yes
on
this
allocation
today,
firstly,
we
wouldn't
have
the
public
input
and
then
secondly,
we
really
would
be
committing
upfront
a
lot
of
funds
and
I'm
afraid
that
if
this
council
voted,
for
example,
the
the
pwsa
transfer
or
approves
this
spreadsheet,
that
those
the
pwa
transfers
could
happen.
You
know
this
month,
so
you
know
just
it
takes
a
cooperative
agreement
like
how
you
know
that
why
why
is
it?
I
In
the
year,
2021
certainly
they're
not
going
to
spend
down
10
million
dollars
in
lead
water
service
replacements
in
2021.
I
You
know
we
could
probably
hear
from
pwsa
about
where
they
are
in
spending
those
down.
I
know
that
they
are
now
happening
along
the
water
main
replacements,
which
are
long
long
overdue,
which
is
great,
but
that's
just
one
example.
So
you
know,
I
think
a
similar
public
conversation
needs
to
happen
about
which
of
the
rows
in
the
spreadsheet
the
public
supports
and
when
they
you
know
might
so
if
they
do
support
them
when
they
need
to
happen.
I
So
what
we've
learned,
I
think
all
of
us
is
that
when
we
make
these
kinds
of
very
large
impactful
decisions
without
robust
public
conversation,
the
public
could
rightfully
angry
with
us.
So
this
is
the
beginning
of
that
conversation,
and
I
think
it's
really
good
that
we
take
a
lot
of
time
and
take
a
lot
of
detail
on
the
longer
term
projects
that
are
again
long
standing
issues.
I
I
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
said
that,
similarly,
across
the
15
different
benchmark
cities-
and
these
are
the
same
ones-
that
we
always
compare
ourselves
to
in
pittsburgh-
quarterly
and
in
the
media-
we
just
kind
of
like
pulled
those
out
because
they're
similarly
sized
cities
that
they
got
the
same
kind
of
ar
p
awards
based
on
poverty
in
the
city
and
this
kind
of
cdbg
type
calculations
that
the
the
federal
government
did.
I
I
So
I
really
want
to
ask
both
chief
pal
and
chief
gilman
what
I
think
I
heard
about
the
gbi
funding,
which
is
that
I
thought
I
heard
you
say
that
we
can't
make
those
direct
payments
and,
in
fact
my
staff
says
that
st
louis
seattle
and
boston
are
all
doing
direct
cash
payments
with
the
arpa
funds.
So
why?
Why
can't
we
do
direct
cash
payments
with
the
article
funds.
B
Pennsylvania
state
law
prohibits
cities
from
doing
it,
which
is
the
very
reason
we
put
the
housing
opportunity
fund
in
similar
programs
at
the
ura
at
different
times.
For
the
same
reason,
we
can't
do
rental
assistance
direct
through
the
city.
We
do
that
through
the
ura
and
now,
of
course,
in
partnership
with
action,
housing,
etcetera
that
why
they
go
through
the
area
prohibited
by
pennsylvania.
I
Could
you
if
someone
could
explain
that
a
little
more
clearly
so
since
the
source
of
funds
is
arpa
funds
and
the
source
of
funds?
Isn't
your
kind
of
annual
property
tax,
and
I
can
look
up
the
state
along
myself
and
read
it,
but
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me.
Someone
could
summarize
it
so
the
state
law
specifies
that
the
city
just
may
not
do
it,
regardless
of
the
source
of
funds.
B
I
Okay,
so
that's
an
open
question
we'll
just
leave
for
today
that,
in
fact,
if
other
cities
like
seattle,
st
louis
and
boston,
are
using
arpa
funds
to
do
direct
cash
payments,
you
know:
are
they
using
third
parties
the
way
you're
suggesting
or
are
they
not?
Is
it
the
the
state?
Laws
prohibit
the
city
from
doing
it
with
anybody's
funds,
or
does
the
state
law
just
prohibit
it
for
the
municipal
revenue
sources?
I
I
also
want
to
say
that
I'm
very
happy
to
see
the
kind
of
the
top
half
of
the
spreadsheet,
which
is
about
the
city
operating
funds,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
filming
you
going
through
the
detail
at
the
top
of
this
meeting
about
the
kinds
of
positions
that
are
being
replaced
in
the
operating
budget.
I
They're
either
added
back
or
added
and
swapped
out,
I
think,
is
the
phrasing
that
you
used.
They
are
dearly
needed,
we're
really
happy
to
see
that
new
positions
in
dpw
to
see
the
positions
in
parks
and
rec
to
even
see
the
positions
in
finance,
certainly
positions
in
the
law
department.
I
really
want
to.
I
appreciate
that
and
that
we
are
of
course
doing
the
three
percent
wage
increase
for
non-union
positions.
I
heartily
support
that
increase
and,
of
course,
the
top
line,
eliminating
the
anticipated
workforce
reduction
of
july.
I
1St
is
critical,
but
it's
july
6th
isn't
it
so
how
do
we
just
someone
want
to
explain
that?
I
think
that's
a
confusing
point
to
people,
so
we
are
if
we
pass
this,
we'll
avoid
the
cuts
that
were
to
happen
on
july
1st
that
didn't
happen.
So
how
have
we
been
paying
those
paychecks
for
the
last
six
days?
Maybe
director
paulus,
if
you
just
want
to
clarify,
what's
what
have
we
been
doing.
D
Sure
those
paychecks
have
been
being
paid
from
our
general
fund
balance.
So
being
that
we
have
reserves
available,
we
did
not
we
now,
knowing
that
the
funds
were
here
and
that
a
plan
was
proposed
in
front
of
city
council
and
would
be
voted
on
and
discussed.
We
could
avoid
those
layoffs
in
the
interim
of
until
a
plan
has
passed.
These
funds
would
make
the
the
operating
budget
pull
for
those
paychecks.
I
Wonderful,
so
so
we
have,
we
have
not
done
the
july
1st
eliminations
and
we
won't,
which
is
fantastic.
I
When
I
see
the
word
restoration,
I
want
to
ask
specifically:
are
those
restoring
the
january
first
cuts,
because
there
were
cuts
on
january
1st
at
the
beginning
of
2021,
because
so
many
of
the
there
was
a
city-wide
hiring
freeze
and
many
departments
lost
people
in
the
course
of
2020
and
were
not
able
to
replace
those
people.
Those
positions
all
got
eliminated
on
january
1st.
I
So
I
remember
specifically
feeling
the
pain
with
pli,
because
my
department
has
especially
so
many
small
businesses
that
were
not
able
to
get
the
response
that
they
needed
from
pli,
because
the
staffing
levels
were
down
as
of
january
1st,
and
I
I
did
try
to
replace
them
in
december
and
failed.
So
could
you
speak
to
that?
Were
those
the
january
1st
positions
replaced
this.
I
I
am
particularly
concerned
about
the
capacity
pli
I'll
jump
back
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
spreadsheet,
back
to
the
lead,
the
the
the
dollar
allocation
that
you
have
in
here
for
lead
line
replacements-
I
think
now
has
kind
of
mutated,
rightfully
so,
and
to
also
not
being
just
about
water
line
replacements,
but
also
about
lead
paint
remediation,
and
there
are
many
of
us
on
council
that
have
been
working
with
that
led
safe
allegheny
and
women
for
a
healthy
environment
for
years
now,
in
fact,
even
before
the
formation
of
the
allegheny
county
task
force,
we
have
been
working
on
how
to
get
pli
to
do
lead
inspections,
and
we
were
waiting
for
the
rental
registry,
and
then
we
have
been
not
waiting
for
the
rental
registry
and
we
just
haven't
been
doing
it.
I
We
know
that
that
is
the
main
cause
of
lead
poisoning
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
We
know
that
children
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
are
being
lead
poisoned.
You
can
see
the
map
of
blood
lead
level
results
at
the
cmu,
create
labs
mapping
of
this
kind
of
dynamic
social
data
on
their
website.
We're
deeply
concerned
about
that.
It's
a
very
important
issue
for
our
children,
our
families
and
also
all
of
us
in
the
city
right.
We
cannot
have
a
successful
city
when
we're
allowing
our
children
to
be
poisoned
by
lead.
I
So
I
heartily
applaud
working
with
women
for
a
healthy
environment,
but
we've
been
told
that
it's
just
for
inspectors
for
inspectors
at
pli
and
we
could
get
started
and
four
inspectors
at
pli
cost
less
than
thousand
dollars
a
year
so,
but
that
we
just
couldn't
budget
for
that
and
wouldn't
budget
for
that.
I
So
I
would
like
to
see
that
this
initiative
to
remediate
lead
paint
across
the
city
include
for
inspectors
at
pli,
because
that's
what
we've
been
told
is
how
we
get
started,
and
so
we
can
either
see
that
up
at
the
top
in
the
operating
budget,
or
we
can
see
it
down
in
the
bottom
here
when
you
kind
of,
I
think,
we'll
change
that
row
87
we're
already
talking
about
it
here
in
this
post
agenda.
I
So
that
it's
not
just
a
check
to
pwsa,
but
it's
actually
going
to
the
the
leading
cause
of
blood
poisoning
of
our
children,
which
is
lead
paint
and
there's
a
lot
more,
that
we
can
do
to
make
sure
that
homes
are
remediated
to
make
sure
that
schools
are
remediated
to
make
sure
that
child
care
facilities
are
remediated.
I
I
B
B
Some
of
those
still
have
dollars
left
in
them
that
hadn't
been
spent
yet
and
some
don't
it
depends
on
which
line,
and
so,
as
we
were
going
through
areas
that
hadn't
seen
financial
support
and
had
been
most
hit.
This
was
the
list
we
came
up
with.
B
Certainly,
food
insecurity
remains
a
tremendous
need
everywhere
in
the
country
and
addressing
food
desert
and
other
things,
and,
as
always,
we're
open
to
suggestions
on
specific
programs
or
initiatives
that
have
a
a
gap
that
could
use
support
of
these
dollars
that
meet
the
requirements.
I
I
I
I
want
to
applaud
once
again
parks
and
rec,
especially
for
I
think
the
update
now
is
nearly
a
million
meals
that
they
have
moved
over
a
million.
Thank
you
to
fell
over
a
million
that
they
pulled
together
from
packaged
meals
from
the
school
syst
from
the
education
funding
right.
So
we
didn't
have
to
even
pay
for
those
meals
and
then
package
meals
from
the
senior
funding,
the
area
agency
on
aging,
that
kind
of
state
funded
right,
and
so
our
staffing
just
moved
the
meals.
I
I'm
really
really
encouraged
by
that
response-
and
I
think
I
said
in
december
when
he
updated
us
last.
How
do
we
do
everybody?
You
know
can't?
How
do
we
do
more?
Because
there's
just
we
don't,
you
can't
do
anything
right
when
you're,
when
you're
hungry,
your
kids
are
hungry
right
and
certainly,
if
you're
a
kid
in
our
school
system,
we
need
to
make
sure
they're
getting
that
support.
We
know
our
our
summer.
Programming
is
down,
and
I'm
concerned
about
that.
I
So
I
really
appreciate
the
parks
and
rec
went
proactively,
set
up
more
distributions
and
and
not
you
know,
and
just
really
retooled
their
entire
delivery
system,
and
so
I
think
we
and
the
council
and
the
public
needs
an
update
there.
So
this
this
is
the
opportunity
to
do
more
and
to
do
better
right
now
with
these
funds.
I
I
Every
year
we
try
to
dig
up
just
a
few
more
thousand
dollars.
Ten
thousand
work
here,
ten
thousand
more
there.
This
is
the
pot
of
money
that
we
can
use
to
make
sure
our
city
residents
are
getting
food
on
the
table
and
not
really
honestly
and
to
and
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
put
the
food
on
the
table
right
and
to
not
wait
all
day
in
food
bank
lines
right,
let's
make
it
so
it's
like
it's
not
stressful
for
them
to
have
food
on
the
table.
I
I
think
I
would
love
to
hear
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can
do
better
and
then
fund
that
once
we
figure
that
out,
if
there's
a
way,
we
can
do
better,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
make
the
space
to
do
that.
I
know
that
we
have
an
entire
nonprofit
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
that
is
the
food
policy
council
that
I
believe,
has
a
hundred
members
member
organizations.
I
So
there
are
a
hundred
different
organizations
out
there
and
instead
of
every
year
us
having
to
pick
some
over
the
other
ones
or
scrape
up
a
couple
extra
thousand.
I
believe
that
we
could
set
this
up
as
a
pool
that
is
specified
just
for
food
insecurity
and
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
when
we
were
all
worried
about
supply
chains,
everything
from
toilet
paper
to
refrigerators
to
actual
food
items.
I
We
were
talking
about
how
to
supply
more
food.
In
the
city.
We
did
start
agricultural
programs-
I
probably
had
some
in
my
own
district.
We
have
other
community
farms
that
are
set
up
in
other
council
districts,
funded
from
a
variety
of
different
methods.
This
is
a
time
where
we
can,
I
think,
take
a
look
and
see
where
there
is
gaps
either
in
the
distribution
of
those
sites
or
in
the
support
that
they
need
and
again
with
these
kinds
of
flexibility
of
funds.
The
things
we
normally
can't
do.
I
I
think
I
think
I'm
just
going
to
wrap
up
by
saying
what
I
see
here
are
some
really
immediate
needs,
but
I
also
see
some
things
that
are
just
kind
of
long-term
entrenched
problems
that
maybe
we
we
have
the
opportunity
here
to
unstick,
but
may
not
be
the
things
that
are
the
urgent
needs
and
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
public
about
their
prioritizations,
because
we
shouldn't
assume
that
they're
the
same
as
seven
years
ago
and
some
of
these
things
we
started
talking
about
seven
years
ago,
and
we
really,
I
think,
it's
time
to
revisit
and
just
have
the
public
conversation
and
hopefully
they'll.
I
I
I
really
think
I
need
to
hear
that
from
the
public
as
well.
So
some
of
these
some
of
these
rows,
I
think,
need
to
change
and
then
some
of
the
columns
that
look
to
be
front
loaded
to
where
we're
trying
to
lock
in
four
years
of
allocations
in
the
first
three
months
of
a
four
year,
you
know
period
and
other
cities
that
we
compare
ourselves
to
are
not
doing
it.
That
way,
and
I
think
they're
doing
a
much
better
job
at
the
public
conversation.
A
Thank
you,
councilman
I'll,
just
say
that
the
public
conversation
is
being
driven
by
council
and
that
we
do
plan
on
having
hearings
on
a
saturday
which
we
typically
don't
have
an
evening
which
we
typically
don't
have
and
members
are
out
there
talking
every
day
to
their
constituency.
A
So
we
are
getting
some
feedback
already
with
that
said,
councilwoman
strasberger
and
then
I'll
go
after
you.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
all
for
the
time
that
you've
taken
today
with
us.
My
questions
are
a
little
bit
technical
in
nature.
I
just
think
around
the
public
and
and
council
understanding
how
this
all
fits
together,
wondering
if
it's
possible
to
provide
us
or
provide
publicly
with
sort
of
given
the
restrictions
for
each
type
of
fund,
how
the
line
items
were
allocated.
H
B
I'm
not
sure,
there's
one
document,
provided
I
mean
we
certainly
can
share
with
council
the
links
to
the
the
arp
rules.
They're,
I
don't
remember
someone
can
jump
in
many
many
many
pages,
dozens,
if
not
hundreds.
There
are
some
good
executive
summaries
out
there
that
we
can
share
with
council
that
break
down
the
rules
that
were
promulgated
for
this.
Beyond
that
it
really
is
the
also
the
intersection
of
the
arp
rule
with
city
code.
B
You
know
I'm
not
looking
to
go
back,
you
know,
but
on
councilwoman
gross's
comments,
the
other
cities
and
and
happy
to
look
at
what
some
of
them
did.
You
know
we
have
to
do
longer
term
budgeting
by
city
code.
So
we
have
you
know
that
doesn't
change
some
of
our
points
which
are
valid
and
understood,
but
for
us
the
need
to
keep
certain
percent
in
balance.
Are
things
that
city
council
put
into
code
post
act
47
as
part
of
our
recovery?
So
it's
not.
Some
of
it
is
arp
spending
rules.
B
Some
of
it
is
for
us
how
to
balance
the
the
budgets
over
four
years
and
provides
the
city
council
balanced
budget
things
like
adding
all
the
first
line
item.
You
know
they're
the
first
chunk,
which
is
the
city
operations
side.
That
alone
is
you
know,
130-ish
million.
We
have
to
show
that
over
the
entire
four
years
by
city
code,
so
it's
a
little
bit
complicated,
maybe
to
find
one
document,
but
we
certainly
can
start
by
by
getting
to
you
the
the
rules
of
the
arp.
H
Okay,
and
if
we
have
questions
we
can
say,
you
know,
obviously
why
that
you
know
ask
a
question:
why
why
this
spending?
How
are
you
working
with
the
rules
and
the
restrictions
in
place
to
be
able
to
do
to
accomplish
what
you'd
like
along
those
lines,
though,
is
it?
Is
it
fair
to
divide
the
spending
into
what
I've
heard
described
as
discretionary
versus
non-discretionary?
H
B
I'm
not
sure
I
apologize,
I'm
not
trying
to
understand
the
question
about
what's
discretion,
I
mean
anything
here
is
discretionary,
there's
nothing
that
we
must
do.
Obviously
we
wanted
to
avoid
layoffs.
That
was
step
one.
You
know
I
wouldn't
say
that
required,
but
we
thought
it
was
ethically
and
morally
required.
If
not,
you
know
beyond
government
operation,
so
but
it
all,
it
is
all
discretionary.
Generally
speaking
there
there
was
not
a
direction
that
you
must
spend
x
percent
of
your
dollars
on
on
this
issue.
H
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
moving
forward.
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
this
will,
how,
when
the
public
or
when
we
as
council
members,
look
at
this
in
the
future,
how
this
merges
with
future
vet
budgets,
so
will
it
be
as
simple
as
the
source
of
income
or
the
source
of
revenue
will
be
the
separate,
a
separate
line
or
a
separate
category?
So,
like
you
see,
you
know,
bond
pay,
go
cdbg,
there'll,
be
one.
That's
just
arp.
H
D
That's
a
very
good
question
council,
and
the
answer
is
yes:
for
this
proposed
plan:
there's
a
couple
ways
that
money
will
move
out.
First
of
all,
we
have
a
trust
fund
set
up
that
was
passed
through
legislation
a
couple
months
ago
to
house
these
funds.
That
is
the
only
thing.
That's
the
only
source
of
revenue,
I'll
call
going
into
that
trust
fund.
I
mean
it
was
very
important
to
set
that
up
to
make
sure
that
we
had
those
segregated
out
not
only
for
reporting
and
compliance
purposes,
but
also
for
transparency
purposes.
D
As
far
as
anything
going
back
into
the
operating
budget,
there
will
be
a
newly
created
like
a
revenue
line,
so
we
can
track
the
money
actually
coming
in
onto
the
city
books
and
treat
it
as
revenue
and-
and
so
you
will
clearly
see
that
in
year,
one
whatever
that
allocation
going
to
the
operating
budget
is
will
be
reflected
in
that
line
and
again
that
is
the
only
source
of
funding
coming
into
that
revenue
line
for
the
capital
budget
to
fund
some
of
these
proposed
capital
projects.
D
There
will
be
in
each
capital
budget
page,
there's
a
chart
that
lists
out
bond
paygo
other
and
things
like
that.
We
are
going
to
include
an
arp,
a
line
so
for
those
projects,
and
it
will
have
its
own
page
as
well,
so
that
you
can
clearly
go
to
that
page
in
our
capital
document
see
what
projects
projects
are
funded
with
those
dollars
so
again
for
the
transparency
for
the
the
ease
of
a
resident
to
understand
the
document.
D
We
understand
that
the
budget
documents
are
daunting
things
to
to
understand
and
we
try
to
make
them
as
simple
as
possible.
Sometimes
it
works
against
us,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
that
we
do
that
as
clearly
as
possible
and
then
the
third
would
be
any
money
going
out
to
another
entity
would
be
would
go
by
way
of
a
co-op
right
with
pwsa,
with
the
ura
things
like
that.
That
is
part.
That
was
part
of
the
reason
that
the
meyer
do
so
contract.
D
That
was
in
front
of
you
all
last
week
is
so
critical
because
they
also
help
us
understand
those
rules
and
guidelines
of
the
treasury.
I
will
mention
that
they're
constantly
changing.
I
think
the
latest
round
of
frequently
asked
questions
were
just
updated
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
so
we've
had
an
interim
rule
for
about
60
days,
but
they
do
tweak
them.
D
They
do
change
them,
they
add
things
they
remove
them,
and
so
it's
it's
helpful
to
understand
what
those
guidelines
are,
but
on
top
of
that,
the
admirers
will
will
also
work
with
the
law
firm
to
create
the
co-ops
so
that
we
have
those
in
place
so
that
we
can
clearly
track
those
those
dollars
because
we
need
to
for
compliance
purposes.
H
You
did
no
that's
very
helpful.
That's
helpful
to
know
that
they'll
be
both
the
source
of
revenue
and
the
separate
page
will
there
in
this.
In
the
case
of
non-compliance
we
don't
spend,
we
either
don't
comply
because
of
some.
You
know
some
way
of
restricting
the
the
money.
That's
that's
spent
or
we
don't
spend
the
money
by
2024
that
needs
to
be
spent.
What
what
is
the
mechanism
that
actually
like
how?
How
does
how
is
non-compliance
dealt
with
they?
Just
the
money
is
taken
back
by
the
federal
government
like
what
actually
happens.
D
Yeah,
so
we
would
remit.
The
unspent
dollar
amounts
back
to
the
federal
government
per
the
guidelines.
The
money
in
categories
outside
of
the
broadband
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
need
to
be
spent
and
out
the
door
by
12
31
2024.
That
means
checks
cut
for
broadband
occur
in
in
those
three
categories
that
I
specifically
called
out.
Those
funds
can
be
obligated
and
we
have
the
ability
until
2026
to
spend
those
as
well,
but
along
the
way,
is
six
annual
reports.
D
There's
an
annual
financial
report,
an
annual
performance
report
and
four
quarterly
financial
reports
that
the
city
is
going
to
have
to
file
with
the
federal
government
as
those
benchmarks,
as
we
move
through
this
plan
to
make
sure
that
we
are
falling
in
compliance
with
expenditures
that
we
have
incurred
and
and
are
looking
to.
You
know,
spend
the
art
funds
on.
H
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilwoman
straussburger,
and
so
I'm
going
to
just
ask
a
few
things
in
and
make
a
few
comments.
I
just
want
to
first.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
all
your
work
lindsay.
I
got
to
see
the
work
you
do
firsthand
when
we
were
doing
a
lot
of
the
work
with
the
hunger
groups
and
making
sure
people
in
my
district
ate
and
where
that
those
programs
were
pretty
much
non-existent.
A
Even
though
there
are
over
100
organizations
and
people
involved
in
the
hunger
group,
it
was
you
who
really
helped
me
a
lot.
So
I'll
never
forget
that.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
work
and
chief
of
staff
gilman,
who
really
always
got
involved
in
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
needed
help.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
all
for
all
your
work
and
for
preparing
this
and
for
working
with
reverend
and
councilman
laval,
and
I
on
preparing
this,
and
with
that
said,
I
do
want
to
say
knowing
that
there'd
be
a
new
administration
coming
in.
We
are.
I've
obviously
already
talked
with
some
of
the
people
who
who
may
be
in
office
and
come
next
year
and
we're
willing
to
work
with
you
know,
whatever
the
needs
are
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
with
whomever's
in
office
at
the
time,
and
we've
made
that
very
clear.
A
So
with
that
said,
these
are
the
things
that
we
know
talking
and
working
with
our
constituents
every
day
and
out
in
the
community
and
seeing
the
needs
that
we
know
that
there's
a
great
need
for.
I
do
have
some
issues
with
the
pwc
stuff,
because
I
will
say
that
I
have
so
many
issues
with
the
issues
in
banksville
regarding
pwc.
So
for
me,
that's
that
is
is
going
to
be
crucial.
Key
to
me
is
if
that
those
projects
are
taken
care
of.
I
also
don't
want
to
give
money
out.
A
That
is
not
going
to
be
helpful
to
our
constituents,
especially
when
there
are
issues
in
my
district,
even
though
they
don't
are
not
served
their
water
is
not
less
come
from,
does
not
come
from
bwcc.
It
comes
from
pa
american.
There
are
infrastructure
issues
with
pwc
that
need
to
be
addressed,
and
so
that's
a
conversation
that
I
expect
to
continue
with
chief
of
staff
gilman
and
the
mayor
and
the
stevens
school
building
and
the
the
projects
in
my
district.
A
I'm
very
grateful
for
because
you
know
we
usually
don't
see
a
lot
of
money
in
our
district
and
we
really
have
been
especially
under
this
administration.
I've
seen
a
lot
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
that,
but
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
you
know.
The
land
bank
is
also
a
concern
for
me.
There
were
two
things
that
I
told
you
were
concerned.
It's
the
pwc
and
it's
the
land
bank,
but
I
was
asked
the
question
about
the
basic
income
for
black
women.
A
Recently,
it's
my
understanding,
the
supreme
court.
You
told
the
biden
administration,
they
cannot
spend
money
that
way
without
because
it
would
be
excluding
other
people
and
so
that
so
because
it
was
designated
for
one
group
of
people
that
that
couldn't
happen.
How
confident
are
you
that
this
one
will
withstand
any
kind
of
court
or
challenge
or
any
kind
of
any
challenge
at
all?
How
confident
are
you
that
that
that
would
be
okay.
B
Don't
think
I'm
the
one
to
answer
it.
That's
the
legal
question.
We
can
talk,
someone,
other
cities
are
doing
it
and
I
haven't
seen
a
national,
a
challenge
to
other
cities,
but
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
your
question.
Madam
president,
so
I'd.
A
Like
to
get
more
information
on
that,
because
that
was
something
that
was
asked
of
me
and
I
honestly
didn't
know
the
answer
either.
So
I'd
like
to
make
sure
I'm
getting
the
appropriate
answer
for
people
and
so
and
and
with
that
I
just
I
will
continue
to
say
that
my
concerns
still
remain
with
the
land
bank
and
the
pwsa.
A
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
demo,
but
I
think
we
need
to
get
creative
about
how
we
to
add
more
money
into
demo,
but
I
want
to
say,
with
the
land
bank
the
thing
that's
making
me
calm
down
a
little
bit
about
adding
the
money
to
the
land
bank
is,
since
I've
been
there.
I've
said
I
have.
I
don't
want
foundations
controlling
our
land.
A
I
don't
want
our
land
to
be
controlled
by
public
entities,
and
this
is
the
first
time
you'll
be
putting
public
dollars
in
to
it
and
this
and
at
this
level,
and
so
for
that
it
makes
me
feel
a
little
bit
more
reassured
that
the
public
will
still
have
control
over
their
land.
And
to
me
that's
the
most
important
part
of
the
land
bank
is
that
the
public?
Never
lose
control
of
what
is
their
their
land
and
their
property.
A
So
with
that
said,
I'm
feeling
a
little
bit
more
confident
that
this
might
be
the
right
decision
and
moving
the
land
bank
forward,
and
I
do
sit
on
the
board
of
the
land
bank
and
I'm
always
I
am
the
one
who's
always
asking
questions
and
driving
people
crazy
and
doing
all
this.
But
it
is
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
public
remains
totally
in
control
in
control
of
that
and
it's
not
privatized
in
any
way,
and
with
that
said,
that's
it
for
me.
A
B
It's
a
unique
in
critical
opportunity,
honestly
in
the
history
of
our
country,
between
this
the
infrastructure
bill
and
having
a
federal
government
ready
to
really
reinvest
in
people
in
our
city
for
for
the
mayor
and
council
to
work
together
to
develop
the
best
plan
and
the
best
priorities
for
our
city
and
our
region.
So
appreciate
the
conversation
and
look
forward
to
the
ongoing
dialogue
in
the
coming
weeks.
A
Thank
you.
Anything
else
remembers
before
we
wrap
this
up.
I
do
want
to
say
I
want
to
thank
our
members,
because
it's
not
always
easy
asking
questions
of
our
colleagues
and
sitting
here,
and
I
do
think
that
you
know
these
are
things
that
we
do
need
to
ask
and
the
public
do
you
know
they
do
want
to
know
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
so.
I
think
that
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
out
and
have
these
the
hearing
on
a
saturday.
A
The
first
hearing
will
be
saturday
at
10
a.m,
and
you
can
call
the
clerk's
office
to
register
and
we'll
can
we,
maybe
I'm
going
to
ask
if
kevin,
if
you
could,
maybe
or
in
chief
of
stepcom,
put
something
together
for
the
public
so
that
we
can
keep
it
on
our
website,
so
people
see
like
a
little
fashion.
A
These
are
the
categories.
These
are
frequently
asked
questions.
What
we
can
and
cannot
spend
money,
something
to
let
the
public
know
before
that.
It
even
comes
to
public
comments,
so
they
know
you
know
so
they
know
what
they're
asking
is
something
that
we
can
and
cannot
do
so
that
they
they're
they're
informed
as
well,
and
I'd
really
appreciate
if
we
can
put
that
on
on
even
our
websites
and
on
our
social
media
sites.
If
you'd
work
with
our
clerk's
office
to
do
that
and
the.
