A
Our
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
may
be
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
when,
once
we
announce
your
name,
please
announce
yourself
and
your
community
in
your
neighborhood.
For
the
record,
you
will
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
B
We
have
been
the
stewards
of
our
land
since
time
immemorial
and
since
the
many
wars
that
have
been
waged
on
our
lands
throughout
the
americas
to
include
central
america,
south
northwest
and
east
and
all
of
its
adjoining
islands,
we
have
seen
a
depredation
happen
upon
our
lands.
It
is
incumbent
upon
the
city.
It
is
incumbent
upon
the
pittsburgh
water
sewer
authority.

morning
council
randall
taylor,
I
currently
live
in
homewood.
Fortunately
moving
back
to
east
liberty
in
the
next
few
weeks.
So
I'm
calling
to
ask
you
to
postpone
any
action
about
forming
any
kind
of
task
force
around
the
relief
dollars
recovery
dollars,
and
I
just
simply
want
to
say
thanks
to
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
I
know
my
history
pretty
well
and
we're
living
in
as
momentous
times
as
1776,
1860
1932
and
the
1960s
and
momentous
change
is
here,
and
we
must
rise
to
to
the
moment.

C
The
crisis
in
america
created
many
many
many
programs
and
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
to
help
people
transition
through
that
difficult
period,
but
never
in
our
history
has
the
government
allocated
this
much
money
of
straight
dollars
to
the
american
people
to
address
issues.
Yesterday
I
was
fortunate
to
be
with
some
city
leaders
and
people
had
done
great
research
about
the
many
different
pots
and
dollars
and
how
it
could
be
used.
But
there's
still
a
lot
of
unanswered
questions
about
that.
C
I
would
contend
that
we
may
be
better
informed
than
counsel,
and
so
I
believe
that
we
should
take
our
time.
We
should
include
as
many
different
voices
and
perspectives
in
this
city
about
how
this
historic,
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
that
we
can
use
task
force
dollars
to
make
change.
We
know
that
there's
dollars
in
that
fund
to
actually
house
homeless
people
today.
C
Do
we
know
that
there's
much
many
many
dollars
to
help
with
child
care
and
if
we
decided
we
wanted
to
actually
put
dollars
in
the
homes
in
the
hands
of
families
who
may
decide
against
the
child
care
or
may
decide
they
want
to
pay
a
trusted
relative
or
friend
for
child
care,
and
particularly
as
we
talk
about
housing,
we
have
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
to
to
bring
communities
like
homewood
back
to
life
and
to
and
to
bring
tens
of
thousands
more
people
into
our
homes
an
affordable
way,
and
we
and
again
as
I'll
say
over
and
over
again.
C
We
look
at
the
housing
homework
that
is
not
generating
any
tax
revenue.
It
will
now
be
generating
tax
revenue
that
will
pay
for
itself
in
decades
to
come.
We
have
an
opportunity,
I
say
no
task
force.
I
would
like
to
be
on
the
task
force.
I
think
I'm
just
as
qualified
as
many
people
there,
but
I
think
we
should
do
best
as
to
reach
out
and
bring
as
many
people
to
this
process
as
many
great
minds
and
talents
that
we
have
in
this
city
to
this
once
in
a
life
opportunity.
Let's
do
it
right.
E
Good
morning,
council
we're
at
a
very
pivotal
moment
in
the
history
of
our
city,
with
the
dynamic
decisions
and
actions
of
the
new
biden-harris
administration,
to
attempt
to
impact
the
future
of
our
nation,
including
the
commonwealth
of
pennsylvania,
the
county
of
allegheny
and
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
so
as
to
positively
impact
the
many
social,
economic
and
equity
needs.
It's
imperative
that
the
process
by
which
the
decisions
are
reached
as
to
how
some
355
million
dollars
will
be
spent
to
impact
the
needs
of
our
city
be
as
absolutely
transparent
as
humanly
possible.
E
These
decisions
have
the
possibility
of
impacting
pittsburgh
for
years
to
come,
particularly
with
regard
to
the
possibility
of
boldly
impacting
the
housing
needs
of
the
citizens
of
pittsburgh
and
addressing
such
needs
as
expanded
child
care,
health
care,
human
services,
economic
equity
and
support
for
our
african
american
and
minority
underserved
underserved
and
under-supported
businesses.
It's
in
the
spirit
that
the
black
political
empowerment
project,
along
with
many
of
our
community
associates,
strongly
suggests
change
in
the
current
language
contained
in
bill.
E
2021
1440
arpa
trust
fund
resolution,
which
addresses
the
oversight
of
how
the
355
million
dollars
will
be
managed
and
spent
in
section
two
of
the
proposed
resolution,
we're
proposing
after
the
comma
that
you
strike
everything
in
that
sentence,
but
keep
the
following
sentence.
The
existing
task
force,
which
is
already
in
place,
does
not
have
to
be
housed
within
the
trust
fund.
E
The
city
is
serious
about
providing
affordable
housing.
This
request
should
be
an
immediate
top
priority.
Such
a
process,
conducted
five
years
ago
by
the
city
of
detroit,
should
now
be
implemented
in
pittsburgh.
Maybe
experts
in
our
college
and
university
community
could
assist
in
this
process.
In
addition,
we're
calling
for
a
meeting
of
the
leadership
of
the
city's
land
bank
to
assess
the
status
of
the
efforts
to
impact
housing
opportunities
for
residents
of
pittsburgh,
including
how
existing
housing
stock
can
be
preserved.
E
How
people
who
financially
are
challenged
can
have
support
systems
put
into
place
to
allow
them
to
remain
in
their
homes.
We
urge
city
council
peduto
administration
to
address
these
important
requests
and
recommendations
which
have
the
opportunity
of
positively
impacting
our
city
of
pittsburgh
for
years
to
come.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
Please
take
our
recommendations
very
very
seriously.
E
F
Hi
everyone
good
morning,
council,
my
name
is
clara
weibel
and
I'm
a
downtown
resident
in
district
six.
I'm
calling
in
to
raise
my
concerns
regarding
the
american
rescue
plan
resolution
being
presented
today,
resolution
2021-1440
in
reading
the
language
of
section
2.
It
seems
that
the
initial
uses
of
the
funds
will
be
set
by
the
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force.
My
understanding
of
the
resolution
is
that
first,
the
task
force
will
make
recommendations.
Then
the
city
council
will
vote
and
appropriate
the
funds
within
the
limits
set
by
those
recommendations.
F
I
would
like
some
clarification
on
if
my
reading
of
the
bill
is
accurate
and
if
so,
I
believe
that
section
2
should
be
changed
and
the
uses
of
the
funds
should
instead
be
fully
determined
by
our
democratically
elected
officials,
with
insight
provided
by
the
task
force
and
other
community
groups
and
the
general
public
as
well.
The
354.9
million
dollars
is
a
lot
of
money.
F
As
a
member
of
the
pittsburgh
human
rights
city
alliance,
I'm
calling
for
a
transparent
and
equitable
process
of
allocating
the
arp
funds
that
includes
representation
by
residents
most
impacted
by
the
kova
19
pandemic.
Such
funds
must
be
used
to
prevent
a
deepening
of
the
city's
already
grave
racial
inequalities
and
should
be
put
to
use
to
help
overcome
the
city's
abysmal
record
in
this
regard,
and
we
need
to
invest
in
work
to
achieve
a
vision
of
a
city
where
all
residents
can
thrive.
F
G
Hamakina
greetings
for
peace,
light
and
love.
My
title
is
ikahanahau
makina.
I
am
the
grand
inca
of
the
iroquois
confederacy
of
aboriginal
american
people,
and
I
am
speaking
on
city
council
today
to
advise
city,
council
members
and
those
who
are
listening
today
of
our
rights.
Our
rights
are
human
rights.
Our
rights
are
protected
under
the
american
declaration
of
rights
of
indigenous
people
and
also
the
american
declaration
of
rights
of
indigenous
people,
united
nations
declaration
of
rights
of
indigenous
people.
G
G
G
On
monday,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
the
mayor
directly,
to
which
he
replied.
We
will
meet
to
discuss
these
affairs,
and
so
I
would
urge
city
council
members
to
follow
suit
and
do
the
same
to
re-establish
these
conversations.
As
we
have
a
government-to-government
relationship
as
set
forth
in
house
congress
resolution
331
as
set
forth
in
senate
conrad
76,
the
precedence
has
been
set.
G
Our
representation
is
in
a
constitution
under
article
1,
section
2
clause
3,
which
states
and
excluding
indians
not
tax
to
not
be
taxed,
is
to
not
be
burdened
to
not
be
handled
to
not
be
censured,
to
not
be
forcibly
assimilated,
and
so
these
are
our
pleas
to
you,
city,
council
members
to
acknowledge
what
our
rights
are.
The
international
community
is
watching.
We
have
a
scheduled
appointment
with
the
oas
organization
of
american
states
to
report
back
to
them
as
to
how
you
respond
it
to
us.
A
I
I
I
A
L
K
A
Yeah
you
were
there.
Yes,
any
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
all
right.
Any
opposed
bill
is
recommended.
Our
new
first
new
paper
bill,
1440.
L
Motion
to
approve
with
discussion
please
second,
mr
chair,
may
I
yes
thank
you
very
much
is
kevin
paulus
available
to
is
he
here
in
the
waiting
room
yeah.
You
are
kevin.
L
Thanks
kevin
for
being
here
director
for
being
here,
so
there
is
confusion
in
the
language
here
as
to
how
funds
are
to
be
directed,
and
I
believe
that
through
the
first
two
pieces
of
legislation
that
council
considered,
we
had
corrected
those
and
we
had
corrected
those.
But
if
I
understand
this
correctly
and
madam
clerk,
I
can't
seem
to
access
the
actual
legislation,
but
from
the
communication
director
from
you.
If
I
can
bring
it
up,
let's
see
here.
M
L
But
I
I
will
start
with
the
financial
impact
statement
and
the
final
paragraph
speaks
to
a
detailed
spending
plan
to
be
set
by
the
joint
recovery
task
force
that
consists
of
office
of
the
mayor,
president
of
city
council,
president
pro
temp
and
chairman
committee
of
financial
law.
The
plan
will
be
finalized
and
adopted
as
part
of
the
2021
budget
reopened
process.
L
We
had
agreed
unanimously
on
council
that
all
all
members
of
council
are
budgetary,
fiduciary
agents
of
the
city
and
have
equal,
say
and
comment
into
any
monies
that
come
before
council
to
be
expended,
and
so
I
believe
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
read.
L
Mr
stevens
letter
excuse
me,
but
I
believe
that
is
the
the
argument
that
is
being
made,
that
we
cannot
funnel
these
monies
through
a
very
narrow
set
of
opinions
or
thought
processes
that
it
has
to
be
a
much
broader
discussion
and
that
each
and
every
member
of
the
council
is
an
equal
say
in
the
consideration
and
expenditure
of
these
funds.
L
So
I
I
certainly
advocate
for
any
language
that
needs
to
be
corrected,
that
that
clearly
states
that
each
and
every
member
of
the
council
is
an
equal
member
in
the
consideration
and
distribution
of
these
funds
and
then
to
to
provide
for
further
guidelines
for
a
a
broader
and
more
open
public
conversation.
L
N
Sure
good
morning,
council
members,
the
intent
of
the
language
and-
and
we
made
some
slight
tweets
that
may
not
have
made
it
into
the
the
fiscal
impact
statement.
But
the
intent
of
the
language
of
the
bill
would
be
for
the
task
force
to
make
recommendations
for
the
plan
and
that
the
allocations
would
be
voted
on
by
city
council
through
a
public
hearing
process.
N
So
to
ensure
that
the
council
members
do
have
that
voice.
L
Yeah
but
words
are
important,
we're
writing
contract
here
and
nothing
could
be
left
open
for
interpretation
or
misunderstanding,
and
so
the
verbiage
of
this
is
incredibly
important
and,
and
I'm
going
to
argue
vociferously
for
the
language
to
be
corrected,
I'm
finding
I'm
sorry,
I'm
having
such
a
struggle
here.
L
So
I
can't
access
the
legislation
and
that's
where
I'm
failing
here
so.
A
Okay,
so
let
me
read
sections
to
you
just
so
we're
all
clear.
The
very
last
section
says
money
money
is
deposited
into
said.
Trust
fund
will
be
used
to
cover
expenses
and
uses
set
forth
by
the
general
guidelines
established
by
the
u.s
department
of
treasury
program,
administration
of
the
state
and
local
coronavirus
fiscal
recovery.
Trust
fund,
as
recommended
by
the
joint
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force,
consisting
of
representatives
of
the
office
of
the
mayor,
president
of
city
council,
president
pro
tem
and
chairman
committee
on
finance
and
law.
A
L
Perhaps
maybe
the
the
the
the
dissatisfaction
of
the
confusion
around
the
the
language
there-
and
I
wish
I
had
this
in
front
of
me-
was,
as
directed
suggested,
considered,
recommend
I
just
I
I
I
I
have
a
level
of
discomfort
with
the
language
as
directed
is
that
is
that
the
exact
words
that
are
used,
mr
chair
or
as
recommended.
A
L
I
I'm
not
looking
to
hamper
this
in
any
way
if
we
need
to
hold
a
week
which
I'm
not
advocating
for
in
any
way,
but
to
get
the
language
right,
I'm
happy
to
do
so.
If
we
need
to
pass
today
and
and
add
additional
language
for
the
final
vote
on
tuesday,
I'm
good
with
that
as
well
too.
L
The
the
letter
that
comes
over
from
director
paulus,
which,
of
course,
is
not
the
legislation
in
any
way
shape
or
form,
still
speaks
to
the
funds
being
directed
by
the
recovery
task
force,
and
I'm
I'm
just.
I
consider
to
be
leery
of
that.
L
Even
if
it's
just
a
mindset
I
can
say
I
continue
to
be
leery
about
hobbling
any
member
of
council
to
have
an
equal
opportunity
and
equal
voice
to
advocate
for
the
distribution,
the
consideration
distribution
of
those
dollars
as
they
see
fit,
and
to
put
that
on
the
table
for
consideration
without
any
any
limitations.
N
Councilman
councilman
chris,
I
can
address
your
concerns
about
the
letter.
We
did
have
a
few
versions
of
the
legislation
before
we
sent
it
over,
so
I
believe
that
there
is
a
version
control
with
the
letter
that
we
can
correct
it
to
uniformly
match.
What
is
the
language
that
is
specifically
in
the
body
of
the
legislation
which
would
which
would
have
the
task
force,
recommend
a
plan
for
these
funds
and
then
allocation
to
be
the
allocation
to
be
voted
on
by
city
council
and
there
yeah.
L
I'm
all
about
having
leadership
of
the
body,
take
recommendations
and
distribution
under
consideration
and
make
those
recommendations
to
council
leadership's
in
place
for
for
a
reason-
and
I
respect
I
respect
that
and
and
abide
by
that-
I
just
I
want
to
be
absolutely
crystal
clear
without
any
any.
L
Whatever
the
word
is,
I'm
looking
for
that
ev
every
every
member
of
the
body
has
an
equal
and
opportunity
to
to
recommend
and
open
for
consideration
any
ideas
that
they
may
have
in
terms
of
the
recommend,
the
acceptance
and
distribution
of
the
dollars-
and
I
just
want
to
make
certain
that
the
language
clearly
reflects
that.
M
M
And
if
you
want
to
take
a
minute,
mr
chair,
I
I
could
ask
some
of
my
questions.
If
you
wouldn't
mind,
if
that's
all
right.
L
Yes,
give
me
one
second
to
read
through
this
okay
and
then
I
will
be
happy
to
money's
deposited
into
said.
Trust
fund
will
be
used
to
cover
expenses
and
uses
set
forth
by
general
guidelines
that
are
established
by
the
department
of
treasury
program,
administration
of
state
local
coronavirus,
recovery
act
fund,
as
recommended
so
again,
as
recommended
by
the
joint
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force,
as
recommended.
L
I
I
have.
I
have
reservations
about
those
words
I
I
think
they're
they're
too
strong.
You
know
with
with
recommendation
made
with
consideration
by
with.
I
just
think
we
we
need
softer
language
in
there
so
as
to
not
concentrate
power
in
just
a
few
members
which
I'm
not
arguing
that
that
power
would
be
abused
in
any
way,
but
just
we're
writing
a
legal
document
here.
I
just
feel
better
that
the
verbiage
is
not,
as
recommended
by
the
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force
and
I'm
actually.
L
Okay
with
funds
will
then
be
voted
and
appropriated
at
the
direction
of
city,
council
and
the
mayor,
and
I
I
might
even
have
to
reconsider
the
ending
of
that
language
of
as
and
the
mayor.
The
mayor
does
can
make
recommendations,
agree,
but
the
final
appropriation,
the
direction
of
all
funds,
always
rests
with
city
council.
D
L
M
Appreciate
it,
so
I
do
have
both
sets
of
legislation
up
on
my
screen,
and
so
I
want
to
remind
council
members
that
bill
2021,
1389
that
we
passed
in
final
auction
on
april
27th
is
the
creation
of
the
task
force
and
the
task
force
is
to
convene-
and
it's
again
just
members
of
the
administration
and
three
council
members
and
it's
to
make
recommendations
to
the
distribution
of
funds
and
it's
you
know
it
has
a
very
clear
prioritizations
that
will
be
taken
under
consideration
and
then
recommended
to
council.
M
Now
the
the
task
force
legislation
is
worrisome,
because
I
concur
with
councilman
krauss
and
I
understand
what
our
public
commenters
are
saying
about
section
two.
So
to
the
the
bill
in
front
of
us
today,
structuring
the
trust
fund,
we're
already
going
to
have
recommendations
from
the
task
force
and
we
look
forward
to
recommendations
from
the
task
force.
M
In
section
2,
the
monies
will
be
expended
according
to
the
guidelines
established
by
the
treasury
department.
That's
all
good,
but
the
way
it's
worded
here
it
says
that
the
monies
will
be
expended
as
recommended
by
the
task
force
and
that
first
sentence
and
that's
not
that's
up
to
council
to
decide
and
if
we
vote
yes
today,
we
are
voting
to
structure
this
trust
fund
to
only
expend
according
to
the
task
force,
so
we'd
be
in
effect,
abdicating
our
responsibilities
and-
and
I
don't
think
we
can-
and
so
it's
just
unnecessary.
M
We
were.
We
already
passed
the
bill
to
establish
the
task
force
to
hear
from
the
task
force
and
that
that
is
a
separate
bill,
and
so
this
one
really
doesn't
need
anything
after
the
comma
or
the
first
sentence
of
section
two
and
so
it,
and
then
that
removes
the
the
stricture
with
an
eye
on
the
trust
fund
of
only
doing
what
the
task
force
says.
M
And
so,
if
we
just
strike
out
everything
after
the
comma
of
the
first
sentence,
then
we
remove.
It
says
you
know
that
the
monies
would
be
expended
to
cover
expenses
and
uses
set
forth
by
the
guidelines
of
the
treasury
department
and
then
period,
and
then
funds
will
then
be
voted
and
appropriate
at
the
direction
of
city
council
in
the
mayor,
and
I
I
think
that
removes
so.
We
have
both.
We
still
have
both
things.
It's
just
that
we
don't
have
to
put
try
to
put
like
the
task
force
legislation
into
the
trust
fund.
M
I
think
that's
where
it
becomes.
M
It
reads
almost
if
we
left
it
this
way,
we
would
be
obligating
the
trust
fund
to
the
task
force
and
instead
of
to
council,
and
if
we,
even
if
we
leave
it
this
way,
I
think
at
most
you'd
be
saying
the
council
has
maybe
an
up
or
down
vote,
and
that
is
not,
I
think,
in
the
spirit
of
our
discussion
when
we
were
talking
about
the
task
force
right
council
should
vote
on
the
allocations
of
the
trust.
M
You
know
these
all
of
these
american
rescue
plan
funds
and
in
fact
we
know
that
they
are
to
last
us
until
december
of
2024..
So
I
I'd
say
it's
we.
What
we
can
look
forward
to
is
a
great
conversation
between
the
recommendations
from
the
task
force
and
the
priorities
and
and
then
council,
having
the
discussion
with
the
public
and
public
input
at
the
city
council
table.
And
so
I
just
I
just
I
concur.
M
I
think
we
should
strike
out
everything
after
the
comma
of
the
first
sentence
and
just
leave
it
at
the
direction
of
council
in
the
mayor.
A
Thank
you,
mr
burgess.
Oh.
D
D
Normally,
what
would
happen
is
the
administration
would
create
a
priority
internally
like
they
do
the
budgets.
They
would
then
take
this
these
monies.
They
would
create
some
document
as
to
what
their
priorities
were.
They
would
send
it
to
council
council
would
have
public
hearings
and
then
council
would
decide
that
budgetary
amount,
then,
as
those
funds
are
distributed,
council
then
gets
a
second
byte
of
the
apple
right
that
we
approve.
Like
any
other
budget.
D
We
approve
this
budgetary
expenditures
and
then,
as
the
line
items
are
spent,
they
then
come
back
to
council,
and
then
we
get
the
second
bite
of
the
apple
to
agree
on
those
expenditures.
That's
the
natural
way
we
function.
I
think
we
all
agree
with
that
right.
D
D
We
can't
all
be
do
it
that
way,
but
that,
before
it
comes
to
council,
we
get
council's
input
on
the
front
end
even
before
it
comes
to
us.
Council
has
some
say
so
of
what
that
document
looks
like
that's
the
first
thing,
and
I
think
that's
agreed
to
that,
and
that
was
the
intent.
So
I
just
want
you
to
know
my
intent
was
never
is
not
ever
in
any
way
to
limit
council's
participation.
D
D
We're
living
in
a
time
of
great
unrest
in
terms
of
equity
we've
had
riots
across
our
country.
D
We've
had
a
great
awakening
right,
and
so
those
people
who
are
not
real
fans
of
equity,
I
think,
would
be
really
comfortable
of
taking
out
the
conversation
of
equity
from
these
things.
I
understand
that,
right
that
you
know
in
in
their
history
in
history,
they
they've
shown
that
they
don't
believe
in
equity.
I
understand
that
I
would
suggest
to
you.
D
I
really
don't
care
what
the
language
looks
like,
but
we
should
still
say
even
in
the
trust
fund,
there's
some
commitment
to
equity
because
our
speakers
that's
really
what
they
want,
and
so,
if
we're
going
to
follow
the
spirit
of
what
they
want,
I
don't
think
it's
to
take
out
this
idea
that
we're
not
going
to
at
least
have
equity
embedded.
D
It
does
not
control
because
we
create
this
this,
and
I
know
again,
I'm
not.
I
didn't
write
this,
I'm
not
really.
I'm
comfortable
with
every
language
we
choose
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Council
will
always
decide
right,
so
so
so,
but
I
do
think
that
there
should
be
some
conversation
of
equity
in
this
document
and
any
other
document
that
comes
out
of
the
recovery
funds,
because
that's
the
the
stance,
the
city,
the
mayor
this
council
is
taking,
is
that
we're
going
to
use
these
funds
equitably?
D
That's
on
the
first
stage,
so
I
want
to
say
that
so
and
I
I
again
I
will
be
open
to
to
to
the
language
compromise,
I'm
not
hostile
to
it.
I
think
you
know
I
have
great
confidence
in
mr
cross's
ability
to
craft
that
I'm
I'm
just
saying
we
should
have
equity
baked
in
and
make
sure
that
it's
baked
in
so
there's.
No
doubt
that's
the
first
thing.
D
Second
thing
is,
and
I
talked
to
councilwoman
strasberger
about
this
actually
from
the
very
beginning,
I
believe
we
should
have
extended
hearings.
I
think
we
should
have
perhaps
a
website
where
comments
can
be
comments
or
recommendations.
D
There
should
be
a
very
broad,
open,
transparent
process
of
how
we
decide
to
spend
these
funds.
I
really
believe,
that's
important
right.
I
think
we
have
to
have
public
hearings.
We
have
to
have
you
know,
written
stuff.
I
think
we
have
to
have
all
that
stuff
and
I
think
that's
important.
D
But
I'm
also
going
to
push
back
a
little
bit,
and
this
is
you
know
I.
I
don't
really
talk
about
this
too
much
all
the
time
publicly,
but
this
is
something
that
you
know
I
got
from
my
mentor,
you
know,
doug
shields
was
a
mentor
of
mine
and
he
he
spoke
this.
I
thought
so
from
what
eloquently
from
my
beginning
on
council
and
I'm
now
again,
the
old
guy.
There
are
really
two
forms
of
representation.
D
D
And
that
model
you
hear
oftentimes
in
public
comment
now
you
know
there's
even
a
a
a
desire
to
take
away
our
oversight
of
police
right.
You
you've
heard
that
stop
the
station
and
what
they're
really
talking
about
is
a
delegate
model
saying
that
we
are
simply
pass-throughs
rubber
stamps
of
some
group
of
people's
wheel
and
they
can
rise
up
at
any
may,
take
away
that
our
authority
and
decide
for
us
what
we
should
do.
D
I
hear
that
I
understand
that,
but
there's
another
role,
one
that
I
believe
also
is
amer.
In
fact,
when
burke
wrote
it,
I
it's
absolutely
another
form
right
is
that
the
trustee
model
we
are
elected
by
the
people
to
serve
on
their
best
interests,
to
use
all
of
our
skill,
all
of
our
education,
all
of
our
background
to
do
what's
in
their
best
interests.
D
D
I
have
church
pastors.
I
have
community
organizations,
I
have
a
variety
of
people
with
a
variety
of
interests.
Many
of
them
don't
come
to
public
comment,
they're,
not
part
of
these
community
groups
and
they're.
Not
writing.
I
also
think
their
voice
is
important
and
I
have
to
take
their
voice
into
consideration
also,
and
so
I'm
going
to
suggest
to
you
that,
at
the
end
of
the.
D
D
We
speak
for
this
city
and
some
somehow
these
these
advocates,
who
somehow
suggest
that
we
are
not
the
representatives
because
and
we
need
to
somehow
be
be
removed
from
our
positions
or
supplanted
by
community
members
because
we're
not
transparent.
I
I
I
am
I'm
going
to
reject
that
right.
We
have
elections
for
reasons,
elections
have
consequences,
we
we
buy
by
law
or
the
people's
representatives.
D
I
will
always-
and
those
of
you
have
been
with
me.
I
am
consistent
with
that.
The
power
of
counsel
is
not
in
any
any
one.
Council
member,
we
argue
we
we
we
we
participate,
you
know
sometimes
might
be,
I'm
long-winded
right,
we
talk
and
we
argue
and
and
that's
why
I
love
council
right.
I
love
this
debate.
I
love
the
public,
transparent
discussion
of
issues,
that's
something
I
love.
D
As
a
speech
teacher,
I
spent
my
life
back
teaching
this
stuff,
so
I
love
it,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
power
of
counsel
is
when
five
of
us
vote
and
is
not
any
individual
member.
It's
the
majority
of
council-
and
I
respect
that.
I
concur
with
that.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
nothing,
I
say
and
do
in
any
way
shape
form
or
fashion
in
any
way
ever.
D
Hence
at
a
disagreement
with
that
right.
I
believe
in
that
so
so
much,
but
at
the
same
time
I
also
I'm
going
to
say
and
I'll
say
I'll
go
a
step
further.
I
may
sometimes
argue
with
council
members
or
even
argue
with
the
council.
In
general
I
mean
that's,
I'm
I'm
I'm
old
and
and
fussy
sometimes.
D
At
the
end
of
the
day,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I'm
going
to
stand
with
my
colleagues
on
our
decisions.
I'm
going
to
argue
that
if
you
look
over
the
last
eight
to
10
years
of
our
actions,
we
have
been
one
of
the
most
progressive
councils
in
the
country.
We
have
passed
a
flurry
over
the
last
eight
years
of
significant
change
in
police
and
affordable
housing,
almost
every
checklist
of
progressive
activity.
D
D
D
We
will
approve
some
budget
of
these
recovery
funds
and
then,
as
the
funds
are
implemented
and
spent,
we
will
also
look
at
those
individual
spending
to
make
sure
that
they
meet
the
purposes
they
were
designed
to
do,
and
so
our
process
of
the
equity
task
force
does
not
limit
a
council.
It
actually
empowers
council
and
gives
it
another
layer
with
the
administration
of
input,
and
that
was
the
it
was
not
to
limit,
but
actually
to
empower
that's
a
long
conversation.
D
D
I
won't
just
make
it
clear
to
anyone
who's
listening.
This
will
not
limit
counsel,
it
will
hopefully
more
empower
counsel
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
will
be
a
transparent,
clear
process
that
council
has
elected
or
or
the
stewards
and
the
people's
representatives
at
the
end
of
the
day
to
make
these
decisions.
That's
a
long
conversation.
I've
laid
all
my
ideas
out
there
and
I'll
never
listen.
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I'll,
be
brief.
P
P
Force,
I
did
not
support
it
last
week
because,
quite
frankly,
I
requested
to
be
on
that
task
force.
I
think
I
bring
a
lot
to
the
table
as
far
as
you
know,
spending
issues
go.
P
P
I
hear
many
many
people
say
about
how
we
should
spend
this
money.
You
know-
and
I
feel
if
I
or
somebody
from
the
south
hills
doesn't
have
a
seat
at
the
table,
and
you
know
we
don't
have
a
voice
there,
so
it
doesn't
seem
very
equitable
to
me
at
this
point,
I'm
disappointed
to
say
that
I
didn't
hear
back
from
my
request
to
be
on
the
task
force,
which
gives
me
even
further
hesitation.
So
so
I
I
cannot
support
it.
P
R
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
will
just
say
that
I
hear
what
reverend
burgess
is
saying,
and
I
agree
that
we
are
representatives
and
often
delegates
in
our
in
our
positions
and
as
much
as
we
all
know
our
own
districts.
It
can
probably
anticipate
what
people
from
our
districts
would
be,
especially
those
who
raise
their
voices.
The
loudest
oftentimes
would
be
asking
for.
R
We
don't
know
everything
about
what
our
district
needs
and
what
what
folks
are,
are
going
to
be
asking
for
with
the
distribution
of
these
funds,
and
I
think
that
this
allocation
of
funds
presents
a
real
opportunity.
R
And
that
is
why
I
continue
to
process
to
one
build
a
better
public
engagement
process
than
what
we've
traditionally
done
around
our
our
capital
and
operating
budgets.
I
think
we've
gotten
better
over
the
years.
I
don't
think
we're
there
yet
and
we
can
continue
to
learn
and
continue
to
iterate
and
continue
to
build
a
better
public
engagement
process
for
this
and
for
our
2022
budget.
R
But
I
think
we
can
get
there
for
creative
and
don't
rely
on
old,
traditional
ways
of
of
engaging
with
the
public,
which
is
very
much
like
sit
and
listen.
People
talk,
we
listen,
we
don't
respond
and
then
it's
over.
I
don't
think
that's
the
best
way
to
go.
I
R
Will
be
there
at
the
table
to
help
craft
that
process,
and
you
know,
as
for
the
language
in
this
particular
legislation
today,
I
I'm
fine
with
the
task
force
councilman
to
councilman
coghill's
point
I.
R
I
would
hope
that
you
would
put
some
trust
in
the
president
of
council
who
I
know
that
you
work
closely
with
representing
that
part
of
town,
and
they
know
that
her
part
of
town
is
not
your
part
of
town
but
as
far
as
I've
seen
she's
represented
and
worked
with
with
you
all
on
that
side
of
the
river
really
well
and
that,
regardless
of
whether
it's
a
recommendation
or
is
there
a
direction
or
what
the
language
says
that
we
that
we
do
find
a
way
to
really
engage
the
public
thanks.
A
Thank
you
any
other
members
for
first
round,
if
not
I'll,
quickly,
chime
in
one
we're
still
discussing
simply
the
creation
of
the
actual
trust
fund
itself
to
councilman
crouse's
initial
concern,
my
recommendation
would
be,
I
think
we
need
to
leave
the
joint
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force
in
the
legislation,
but,
as
opposed
to
saying,
as
recommended
by,
I
would
change
the
language
to
be.
My
suggestion
would
be
with
recommendation
by,
but
that
would
be
my
simple
change.
Second
round.
I
believe
councilman
krauss.
You
have
your
hand.
M
Thank
you.
So
I've
got
some
other
ideas
about
making
sure
that
there
are
better,
whereas
clauses
which
are
always
important
for
the
intent
and
spirit
of
legislation,
so
there's
an
option
of
putting
it
more
of
the
task
force
language
in
the,
whereas
clauses
and
I'd
have
to
chew
on
your
recommendation,
councilman
lavelle
of
putting
was
it
with
guidance.
I
forgotten
what
you
just
said,
because
I
was
reading
and
listening.
At
the
same
time.
A
I
I
said
with
a
with
a
recommendation
by
so
you're,
simply
receiving
a
recommendation,
as
opposed
to
saying
you're
voting
on
it,
as
recommended,
but
you're
just
receiving
it,
which
is
with
a
recommendation.
M
I'm
literally
writing
it
down.
So
I
don't
have
to
ask
you
twice
and
yeah.
My
concern
is
the
way
it
reads
now
is
that
it
reads
as
the
expenditures
will
occur
according
to,
as
recommended
by
the
joint
taxers
and
then
the
next
sentence
says
you
know
then
voted
on
and
appropriated
at
the
direction
of
city
council
in
the
mayor
after
a
period.
M
So
it
reads
like
an
up
or
down
vote,
and
I
I'm
afraid
that
that
is
not
the
dynamic
that
we
are
talking
about
with
including
citizen
input,
and
you
know
really
having
an
interrogative
long
discussion
with
our
public.
That's
deep
and
rich
and
gives
us
a
lot
more
information,
which
is
what
I
just
heard
councilwoman
strasberger
talking
about,
and
I
I
I
too
am
eager
to
have
that
kind
of
conversation
with
the
public.
M
We
get
the
votes,
each
of
us
right
and
our
we
get
to
vote
on
on
these
budget
appropriations
and
on
legislation
and
our
our
constituencies
can
vote
us
in
and
vote
us
out.
And
yet
we
make
our
decisions,
but
we
don't
have
total
information.
So,
as
councilman
strasberg
was
saying,
we
don't
know
everything
we're
not
omniscient,
so
the
more
information
we
get
from
the
public,
the
better
decisions
we
can
make
in
the
end,
we
have
to
cast
the
votes,
but
more
information
for
me
is
always
better.
M
I
also
I
voted
for
the
task
force
and
I
am
eager
really
to
hear
those
recommendations
as
we
go
forward
about
how
we
can
make
the
most
efficacious
the
most
impactful
investments
in
order
to
really
not
just
recover
to
where
we
were,
but
to
build
back.
Better,
I
think,
is
the
phrase
it's
starting
to
already
sound
like
a
platitude,
but
really
how
do
we
do
that?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
really
see
a
stronger
pittsburgh
stronger
communities
than
we
had
in
january
of
2020.?
M
I
think
we
do
have
that
opportunity,
I'm
really
eager
for
that
engagement,
but
but
I
don't
think
that
hinges
on
that
clause
being
in
there
and
so
I'm
comfortable
striking
it
out
I'm
comfortable
putting
it
in
a
whereas
clause
I'll
keep
chewing
on
this
suggestion
from
you
councilman
level
with
with
recommendations
by,
but
I
I
don't,
I'm
not
comfortable
with
the
language
as
it
stands.
So
I'll
just
stop
my
comments
there.
I
appreciate
it.
N
Councilman
gross,
if
I
may,
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
things
discussed.
I
think
the
first
thing
I
I
want
to
address
is
the
intent,
so
the
intent,
regardless
of
what
the
language
says,
I'm
happy
to
work
through
any
changes
that
you
all
want
to
make.
The
intent
of
this
was
to
provide
counsel
with
a
recommendation
never
to
hinder
any
any
of
council's
power
with
the
allocation
of
it.
N
Equity
is
was
always
intended
to
be
embedded
in
all
of
the
decisions
and
recommendations
that
that
we
would
make
and
then
to
councilman
strasberger's
point
about
public
outreach
yeah.
It's
a
work
in
progress
that
we
continue
to
try
to
strive
to
get
better
at
for
the
budgeting
process.
We've
been
doing
capital
budget
outreach
for
a
couple
years.
N
Now
last
year
was
the
first
year
for
the
operating
budget
outreach,
and
I
think
you
know
coven
and
working
remote
kind
of
threw
a
for
a
wrench
into
those
things
because
of
different
challenges
that
we
were
facing.
But
I'm
happy
to
report
that
this
year
we
are
taking
a
more
proactive
approach
to
the
operating
budget
outreach
by
kicking
off
the
the
public
engagement.
N
This
week,
or
or
early
in
may,
instead
of
so
late
in
the
process
like
we
did
last
year,
so
we
are
continually
making
strides
to
be
better
to
gain
better
input
and
then,
as
it
pertains
to
this
particular
trust
fund.
You
know
the
intent
was
again
always
to
provide
recommendations
to
city
council
or
public
hearings
so
that
we
could
gain
a
public
input
and
then
allocate
the
funds
via
voting.
A
K
I'm
better
me
thank
you
chair.
I
want
to.
You
know
just
say
that
you
know
keeping
this
language
in
there
with
the
task
force
really
sets
the
charter
for
for
how
this
money
will
be
spent
and
section
six
of
the
tax
of
the
task
force
that
we
already
voted
on
sets
that
charter
and
it
says
the
black
pittsburgh
matters.
Strategic
investment
principles
are
designed
to
increase
funding
to
black
people,
black
organizations
and
black
businesses
in
black
communities.
K
So
it
continues
to
go
on
and
sets
that
charter
for
how
this
task
force
will
go
about
addressing
the
equity
issue,
and
so
we're
going
to
vote
on
this
in
a
very
public
way.
K
You
know
prioritize
what
I
just
read
off,
which
I
didn't
read
off
word
for
word,
but
I
try
to
just
sum
it
up
loosely,
but
it
does,
you
know,
set
the
charter
for
how
the
money
was
will
be
spent.
L
Thank
you,
councilman
cross
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much
so
on
the
topic
of
equity,
what
is
troubling
to
me
is
that
we
are
attempting
to
address
the
issue
of
equity
by
creating
what
appears
to
be
an
inequitable
process
by
the
concentration
of
power
and
not
an
equal
distribution
of
voice
is
the
exact
opposite
of
equity
and
inclusion,
and
so
I
continue
to
argue
that
language
must
reflect
the
inclusion,
the
equal
equal
equity,
equal
inclusion
of
each
and
every
member
of
council
in
the
consideration
and
distribution
of
the
funds.
L
O
L
Thanks
very
much
so
so,
would
you
like
to
share
what
your
recommendations
are,
which
I'm
hoping
and
I
do
believe
could
be
satisfying
to
members
of
council.
O
Yes,
I
I
believe
so.
I
had
also
sent
this
over
to
to
kevin
and
to
councilman
gross
as
well
too.
The
basically
from
a
technical
standpoint
is
what
legislation
regarding
the
creation
of
a
trust
fund
implementation
to
the
trust
fund
does
the
only
thing
that
we
need
do
within
there
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
abiding
by
the
u.s
department
of
treasury's
guidelines.
O
So
that's
the
body
of
the
bill,
however,
intent
is
always
established
within
the,
whereas
sections
of
the
bill,
so
my
suggestion
would
be-
and
I
can
send
this
to
all
members
here
briefly,
whereas
city
council
will
consider
recommendations
in
its
deliberations
by
the
joint
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force
consisting
of
representatives
of
the
office
of
mayor
president
city
council,
president
pro
tem
and
chairman
committee
on
finance
and
law,
and
just
consider
those
allocations
through
a
lens
of
equity.
O
The
sentence
that
says,
as
recommended
by
the
joint
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force,
consisting
of
representatives
of
the
office
of
the
mayor
president
city
council,
president
pro
tem
and
chairman
and
committee
in
finance
and
law,
so
leaving
in
the
funds,
will
then
be
voted
on
and
appropriated
at
the
direction
of
the
city,
council
and
mayor.
L
So
bill,
could
you
revisit
the
the
argument
you
make
about?
The
purpose
of
an
intent
of
the
legislation
is
really
to
solidify
the
the
monies
being
deposited
considered
and
expended
by
guidelines
that
are
established
by
the
us
department
of
treasury
program,
administration
of
state
local
coronavirus,
fiscal
recovery
fund.
Right
I
mean
that
is
the
that
is
the
purpose
of
of
the
legislation
that
we're
considering
today.
That's
correct.
O
Correct
the
library
in
which
it
must
be
expended
has
to
be
in
those
in
accordance
to
the
treasury
guidelines.
O
Sir,
I
I
think
that,
regardless
of
whether
you
have
the
the
additional
line
in
there
or
not,
council
will
always
be
able
to
to
do
allocations
which
the
council
does
at
its
own
expression.
O
O
H
L
L
That
works
well.
That
way,
I
I
just
you
know,
I'm
not
arguing
that
there
is
intent
or
purpose
to
to
to
limit
the
equal
consideration
and
distribution
of
funds
by
council,
but
we
are
writing
contract
here
and
contr
verbiage
is
important
in
contract
and
I
think
it's
important
to
that.
L
We
be
clear
as
to
how
the
monies
are
received
into
positive,
understood
and
then
the
the
intent
of
how
we
wish
to
consider
those
funds
and
the
distribution
or
allocation
of
those
funds,
and
I
just
I
worry
that
the
argument
of
equity
is
being
lost
or
compromised
in
the
argument
that
we
should
not
have
an
equitable
process
for
the
consideration
of
the
distribution
of
the
funds.
L
Even
though
that
I
don't
believe
that
to
be
the
intent,
I
believe
the
language
can
lead
us
or
lead
one
to
believe
that
that
is
the
intent,
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
in
in
contract
that
it's
important,
that
we
have
a
clear
understanding
of
of
how
these
will
be
received,
considered
and
ultimately
distributed.
L
That's-
and
that
is
my
concern
and-
and
you
know,
and
and
I
will
offer
this
as
well
too-
I
do
understand
that
councils
are
are
formed
with
odd
numbers
of
3,
5,
7,
9
11
for
a
purpose,
and
I
do
understand
the
argument
of
five
votes
and
you
can
move
anything,
but
you
still
leave
four
people
behind
and
so,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
you're
leaving
just
about
half
of
the
representation
behind,
and
that
has
never
ever
been
my
style
of
leadership.
L
L
We
each
and
every
one
of
us
are
equal,
co-equal
members
of
the
body
and
it's
important
to
always
remember
and
always
consider
the
the
the
the
process
by
which
we
got
here
and
the
right
that
we
have
to
be
included
in
all
conversations,
especially
budgetary
matters,
in
the
distribution
of
those
those
funds.
So
I
hope
that
would
be
a
good
compromise
for
members
as
we
move
this
piece
of
legislation
forward
and
I'd
be
very
interested
to
hear
what
other
members
think
about
the
recommendation
from
our
budget
director.
P
Yes,
I'm
not
on
the
task
force,
but
I'm
gonna
give
my
recommendations
anyway,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
You
know
I
feel
like
everybody's
under
the
frame
of
mind
that
this
is
some
windfall
that
we
can
use
for
whatever
projects
that
everybody's
dreaming
up
to
me.
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
we
have
to
secure
the
employees
that
we
didn't
hire
back
to
keep
the
employees
that
we
do
have.
I
think
we
you
know
are
short-ended
in
many
departments.
P
Pli
jumps
out
at
me
as
as
the
first
one
I'd
like
to
see
more
employees
there,
and
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
you
know
if
I
were
on
the
task
force,
I
would
be
saying
you
know,
let's
not
be
so
quick
to
spend
this
money
and
think
about
whatever
projects
everyone's
thinking
about.
Let's
take
care
of
our
our
house.
First,
you
know
we
are
going
to
be
lacking
the
amusement
tax
and
parking
tax.
P
That's
going
to
be
ongoing,
so
you
know
we're
going
to
have
shortfalls
and
this
money
is
set
aside
for
that
it
should
be
used
for
that
now.
In
the
end,
if
we
have,
you
know,
20
million
10
million,
however
many
dollars
left,
then
we
talk
about
projects
and
things
that
we
could
use
this
money
for
to
make
the
city
a
better
place.
So,
okay!
Well,
that's
my
recommendation.
P
A
Thank
you
just
for
clarity,
councilman
coghill.
Your
recommendation
is
what
we
legally
have
to
do
any
any
other
members.
A
Your
recommendation
per
federal
guidelines.
What
we
have
to
do,
the
this
money
has
to
first
and
foremost,
be
spent
on
shoring
up
our
deficits
like
that's,
where
money
has
to
go,
and
then
whatever
money
is
left
is
what
the
task
force
said.
We
would
then
take
a
racial
equity
lens
and
spend
those
dollars
accordingly.
A
The
task
force
will
look
at
all
the
dollars
recommend
on
how
to
shore
up
per
federal
guidelines,
how
to
shore
up
our
current
budget,
how
to
address
the
deficit
for
next
year
as
well,
because
we
will
have
one
for
next
year
and
then
whatever
is
left
over
on
how
to
spend
those
dollars,
and
then
that
recommendation
comes
to
council
and
council
does
what
we
always
do.
We
deliberate
we
decide
and
ultimately,
we
choose
on
how
to
spend
those
resources.
S
L
L
Can
you
be
satisfied
with
the
argument
for
the
equitable
consideration
and
distribution
of
the
funds
being
part
of
the,
whereas
clause,
as
opposed
to
the
meat
of
the
legislation
which
is
really
about
how
we
are
legally
obligated
to
deposit
the
federally
received
dollars
again.
D
D
This
trust
fund
simply
mechanical,
and
I
think
that
you
know
I
I'm
embedded
in
it
not
in
it.
The
trust
fund
already
exists,
so
I
mean
the
the
we
already
passed,
the
the
the
the
task
force.
So
you
know,
I
think
this
we're
just
talking
mechanically
about
opening
a
bacon
account.
Really
that's
really
all
this
is
we're
just
opening
the
bank
account
so,
but
I
didn't
write
it.
So
I
really
can't
I
will
go
with
the
majority
of
council.
I
like
the
idea
of
being
in.
D
I
just
think
it
makes
it's
like
windy,
kobe
used
to
always
say
it's
suspenders
and
a
belt
right.
She
would
always
say
when
I
we
did
the
homeroom
charter
amendment
for
residency.
It
wasn't
needed,
but
we
were
just
putting
a
suspender
on
it.
You
know,
but
I'm
not
again.
I
didn't
write
it.
This
is
not
a
a
hill
I'm
willing
to
die
on
I'm
willing
to
to
do
whatever
the
members
of
council
do
I'll,
pass
it
and
be
be
satisfied.
D
L
Yeah
director,
can
you
would
you
be
comfortable
with
the
recommendation
by
our
budget
director
to
include
that
in
the
warehouse
clauses
and
and
keep
the
the
intent
of
the
legislation
just
a
little
tighter?
I'm.
N
Burgess
said
I
mean
this
is
this
is
just
setting
up
the
the
account
to
hold
the
funds,
the
the
process
itself
was
solidified
with
the
task
force
and
all
of
that
and
again
that
the
intent
was
never
to
to
hinder
any
part
of
the
of
the
process.
With
the
language
of
this
from
this
legislation,.
L
Mr
chair,
with
your
permission
and
the
recommendation
of
our
our
budget
directors,
could
I
offer
up
the
suggestion
of
budget
director
bill
urbanic
to
be
an
amendment.
A
Yes,
just
for
clarity,
can
you
state
what
the
amendment
is
be.
L
Happy
to
yeah
thanks
mr
chair
us,
I
will
read
from
mr
urbanic's
email
to
all
members
we
would
amend
by
adding
in
the
whereas
clause,
whereas
city
council
will
consider
and
madam
clerk,
I
won't
email
this
to
you,
and
you
know
you
excuse
me
amend
by
adding,
whereas
city
council
will
consider
recommendations
in
its
deliberations
by
the
joint
pittsburgh
recovery
task
force,
consisting
of
representatives
of
the
office
of
the
mayor,
president
of
city
council,
president
pro
temp
and
chairman
committee
of
finance
law,
and
to
consider
allocation
through
a
lens
of
equity,
and
then
excuse
me
in
the
legislation,
as
argued
by
what
we
heard
at
public
comment
today,
as
well
as
councilman
gross
and
myself,
we
would
strike
after
recovery
fund
comma.
A
M
Thank
you
so
I'm
supportive
of
any
pedestrian
safety
improvements
in
the
strip
district
and
and
definitely
on
the
smallmouth
corridor.
Unfortunately,
we
have
already
spent
many
millions
of
dollars
have
been
millions
of
dollars
of
multimodal
grants
and
our
caps
in
the
blocks,
starting
from
16th
to
21st.
That
council
received
now
over
the
years
related
to
the
terminal
project
and
the
buildings
across
the
street,
and
it's
still
dangerous.
M
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us
our
mind,
counsel.
There
have
been
two
fatalities
at
21st
and
smallman
during
the
daytime.
It's
just
still
not
safe
there
later
this
agenda.
You
will
also
see
the
easement
at
21st
street
that
we've
been
holding
for
a
week.
I
have
been
talking
with
the
developers.
M
The
church
at
st
stannis
losses,
the
kind
of
every
the
strip
district
neighbors,
because
there's
so
many
moving
parts
with
so
many
different
sites
and
construction
projects
that
what
we
really
need
is
a
stronger
design
plan
from
jomi
that
they
have
now
been
working
on
for
years.
But
we
just
don't,
have
it
in
hand
to
know
where
we're
making
these
changes,
whether
it's
going
to
add
to
safety,
be
neutral
or
even
decrease
safety
in
the
strip,
but
I'm
supportive
of
this
project,
and
and
thank
you
for
letting
me
put
it
in
context.
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
you
oppose
bill
is
recommended.
We
now
need
a
motion
to
approve
our
invoices
moved.
Second,
any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
aye
aye
any
opposed
invoices
are
approved.
We
now
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
p-cards.
A
Second,
any
discussion
saying
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
the
opposed
p
cards
are
approved.
That
takes
us
to
our
public
safety
services
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
mr
o'connor,
who
is
not
with
us
today.
We
have
one
deferred
paper
bill
1087
and
we
would
like
to
have
a
motion
to
hold
for
two
weeks
a.

Q
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
No,
I
do
not
wish
to

I
just
wanted

much.

A
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
being
that
my
well
throughout
the
city,
the
the
gun
violence
has
has
increased
recently.
I
am
curious
about
the
you
know
on
this
bill.
Is
there
someone
that
can
give
us
a.
T
Briefing
yeah
hello:
this
is
director
schmidt
from
public
safety,
so
this
bill
is
everytown.
Usa,
they
are
a
gun,
violence,
reduction
program,
national
level
organization.
T
So
we
can
continue
to
review
where
the
gun
violence
is
happening,
as
well
as
recording
weapons
that
are
found
discarded,
seized
that
kind
of
stuff.
K
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
schmidt,
how
how
will
they
specifically
be
different
than
our
crime
analysis
unit
that
we
currently
have
like
what
type
of
report
would
we
expect.
T
T
Sorry,
not
gpi
the
gun,
violence
unit
to
specify
you
know,
yeah
be
specialized
just
for
gun,
violence
versus
you
know
our
current
crime
analysts,
which
are
already
a
little
short
staffed
right
now
they
kind
of
look
at
things.
Overall.
T
These
this
analyst
will
look
specifically
for
gun
related
activities,
the
folks
that
are
involved
with
those
gun
related
activities
and
try
to
help
track
a
little
better.
It's
also
like,
I
said,
to
help,
make
sure
we're
maintaining
and
keeping
up
with
the
database
for.
K
A
M
P
You
know
councilwoman
gross,
I
will
turn
over
to
you.
I
know
you
had
concerns
about
this
bill
and
where
are
we
at.
M
Yeah,
I
appreciate
your
patience.
I
know
councilman
claudia's
been
eager
to
to
get
this
moving,
but
I
did
talk
to
the
developer
and
the
attorney
and
this
neighborhood
organization,
but
I
haven't
heard
back
from
saint
stanislaws
and
they
have
they
reached
out,
as
I
mentioned
last
week
for
now
for
lack
of
trying,
we
just
have
not
been
able
to
connect
and
there's.
There
are
a
lot
of
moving
parts
at
that
intersection,
which
is
this
is
at
the
intersection
that
I
mentioned
that
has
had
seen
fatalities.
M
There's
a
lot
of
construction
there's
even
some
litigation.
It's
just
you
know
a
few
feet
away
over
between
another
building
and
what's
happening
in
the
right
of
way.
Here.
I
think
we're
going
to
be
fine
honestly
after
hearing
from
from
most
parties-
but
I
didn't
you
know-
domi
says
they're
comfortable,
but
they
really
don't
have
a
design
and
they,
after
this
many
years
of
meetings
and
conversations
about
this
very
important
section
of
the
strip
we
are
and
budget
allocations
to
them
to
do
more
design
around
it.
M
Everyone
I've
spoken
to
is
eager
to
get
that
mobility
study
that
council
funded
for
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
some
three
years
ago
and
has
is
completed
but
not
published
to
be
so
that
we
don't
have
to
have
questions
and
concerns
and
anxiety
from
all
of
the
different
parties
for
every
single
thing,
you've
seen
so
many
bills,
and
so
many
things
come
across
our
agendas
between
bump
outs
and
new
sidewalks
and
property
lines.
M
Changing
and
all
of
these
things
that
if
we
had
that
enhanced,
then
there
wouldn't
have
to
be
so
much
community
concern
over
each
individual
item.
So
I
just
say
that,
with
to
humbly
request
a
little
more
patience
just
to
make
sure
that
if,
when
we
do
this,
there
won't
be
some
grievance
from
some
of
the
near
neighbors
or
concerns
about
the
design
of
the
roadway.
So
I'm
I
I
I'm
pretty
sure
we'll
be
able
to
get
through
to
st
stanislaus
and
their
attorney
shortly.
P
P
M
P
M
Understand
your
perspective,
but
that
is
not
this
situation.
P
H
U
A
Any
opposed
they'll
be
held
one
week,
new
papers,
bill
1426.

department
of
conservation
and
natural
resources.
Community

The

includes
a

of
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
a
local
match
of
thirty
three
thousand
dollars
to
be

by

deliverable.
P
Second,
no,
if
you
would
mr
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
director.
Rix
state
senator
fontana
had
gotten
us
beautiful
new
monuments
for
our
memorial
park
and
beach
view,
and
I
was
up
there
in
an
unrelated
matter
with
director,
rix
and
ray
where
the
new
memorial
was
going.
You
know
the
sidewalks
were
just
all
decayed
and
broken
up
so.
P
And,
of
course
I
jumped
all
over
it,
so
so
it
really
did
make
a
big
difference
in
the
you
know,
to
have
a
brand
new
sidewalk
around
this
beautiful
new
memorial
that
we
have
and
I'm
encouraging
everybody
from
the
neighborhood
to
come
out
on
memorial
day.
We're
going
to
have
a
nice
little
ribbon
cut
in
there,
and
it's
really
beautiful
very
well
done
just
wanted
to
thank
director
rex.
That's
all.
A
L
You
and
mr
chair,
if
I
may,
I
just
want
to
thank
director
emmanuel
for
being
here
and
staying
with
us,
and
I
just
want
to
recognize
that
you
made
the
effort
to
be
here
if
council
had
questions.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Bill
received
the
favorite
recommendation
that
takes
us
to
our
land
use
and
economic
development
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
councilman
wilson.
First
new
paper
bill
1448.
L
I
L
Back
end
brief
discussion,
if
I
can
please
so
I
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
friends
of
southside
park
and
the
efforts,
it
really
is
a
sort
of
an
in-house,
very
sort
of
self-designed
role
that
they've
taken
on
they
tenderly
care
for
for
the
park
and
expend
unbelievable
amounts
of
personal
time
to
contribute
to
the
park,
and
I
just
think
it's
so
very
important
to
to
recognize
and
thank
them,
and
I
ask
all
members
to
please
support
this
is
a
wonderful
project
and
the
dollars
are
are
well
deserved
and
well
needed.
I
A
The
opposed
bill
is
recommended
that
takes
us
to
our
innovation,
performance
and
asset
management
committee
chaired
by
councilwoman
frostburger,
two
new
papers,
first
being
bill,
1446.
J
Bill
1446
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
of
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
to
enter
into
a
one-year
agreement
with
zen
city
with
the
option
to
renew
for
another
year.
Zen
city
is
an
saas
which
analyzes
data
from
social
media,
city
hotlines
and
other
relevant
sources
and
provides
local
government
stakeholders
with
detailed
real-time
insights
about
citizen
sentiments
during
code
19.,
the
mayor's
office
requested
this
tool
as
part
of
its
ongoing
copic
19
response.
The
cost
will
not
exceed
30
thousand
dollars
in
the
first
year,
question.
R
M
You
so
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
spending
money
to
analyze
people's
social
media
feeds
flat
out.
We
know,
for
example,
that
these
can
be
used
as
part
of
policing
and
over
policing.
M
There's
a
real
slippery
slope
about
us
expending
dollars
to
call,
as
it
were,
information
with
software
from
people's
social
media
feeds.
I'm
guessing
most
members
do
look
at
social
media
and
do
you
know
have
constituents
who
follow
them
on
social
media
and
who
you
know,
give
us
information
and
opinions
on.
You
know
policy
topics
of
the
day
news
topics
of
the
day,
but
this
is
a
different
level
and
I
don't
know
if
councilman
straussburger
wants
to
speak
to
it
or
someone
from
the
administration,
I'm
very
concerned
about
using
public
dollars
on
funds.
M
That
really
seem
to
me
to
be
there's
a
possibility
of
abuse
in
either
kind
of
privacy
concerns
or
a
targeting
concerns.
So
this
has
been
a
concern
in
other
cities.
It's
certainly
around
policing
and
overpolicing,
and
I
I
would
like
to
hear
somebody
speak
to
that
from
the
administration.
Do
we
know
who's
here,
councilman
strausberger?
We
do.
R
M
G
M
M
To
see
you,
if
you
just
identify
yourself
for
our
listeners
and
and
give
us
some
background,
if
you
don't
mind
sure.
V
My
name
is
todd
smith,
I'm
the
digital
community
specialist,
with
the
department
of
innovation
performance,
and
I
just
wanted
to
address
your
privacy
concerns,
because
imp
and
the
mayor's
office
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
preserving
the
concern
the
privacy
data
of
our
constituents,
and
I
want
to
reassure
you
that
zen
city
is
pulling
publicly
available
data,
so
it
also
scrubs
any
personal
data
related
to
that
data
that
enters
the
platform.
So
we
have
no
we're
not
able
to
look
at
people's
profiles.
We
don't
know
who
the
actual
people
are.
M
So
how
is
this
arrangement
structured,
then?
What
is
it
doing
for
you.
V
Well,
it's
a
public
engagement
tool,
it
expands
the
perspective
of
the
conversation,
that's
happening
around
city
services
and
it
allows
us
to
gather
that
feedback,
not
just
by
residents
but
also
news
sources,
community
groups
and
then
it
displays
and
parses
that
data
into
a
dashboard
and
so.
M
V
V
V
I
believe
there
was
a
different
procurement
mechanism,
so
I
can't
really
speak
to
that
right
now.
H
V
Like
I
said,
that's,
there
was
a
different
mechanism
that
I'm
not
that
I
can't
speak
to,
but
you
know
it
was
approved
and
went
through,
like
I
assume
all
the
right
channels
in
order
for
it
to
be
procured.
M
V
I
I
I
V
T
M
V
V
G
V
Into
topics
that
are
related
to
service
delivery,
so
human
relations,
public
safety,
local
economy,
transportation-
and
this
is
all
interactive
here,
in
addition
to
kind
of
just
like
the
overall
chatter
and
the
time
you
can
also
create
projects
and
projects
are
things
that
just
come
up
or
that
are
important
in
your
community.
V
So
when
we
looked
at
right
last
summer,
we
had
the
george
floyd
protest,
we're
able
to
look
at
what
the
chatter
is
and
understand.
You
know
how
people
are
feeling
about
it
and
again.
You
know
people
have
not
been
able
to
come
into
city
government
to
voice
their
opinions
about
what's
going
on
in
our
city,
but
they
do
use
social
media.
So
this
is
like
a
nice
way
to
capture
a
holistic
view
of
how
people
feel
about
things
that
the
city
are
involved
in.
V
We
have
winter
operations
that
are
also
here,
and
we
know
that,
like
when
there's
issues
with
you
know,
you
know
streets
not
being
plowed.
You
know
people
go
to
social
media,
and
this
can
help
with
our
response
in
future
years
about
how
we
want
to
be
more
proactive
with
our
communication
when
it
comes
to
things
about
winter
operation.
V
V
V
So
the
parameters
are
designed
by
the
company
itself.
Zen
city
works
specifically
with
government
agencies.
So
it's
a
bespoke
tool
and
that's
what's
nice
about
working
with
them
is
that
we
don't
have
to
explain
what
they
do.
They
understand
it
and
they've
designed
a
software
that
is
almost
turnkey
and
everything
is
kind
of
set
up
and
over
time
you
know,
like
I
said
we
can
request
specific
reports
about
ideas
or
things
in
our
neighborhoods.
V
V
I
know
in
the
second
year
is
trying
to
roll
this
out
to
more
departments,
because
they
think
it
could
be
useful
to
being
proactive
with
our
communication
understanding
when
we
launch
initiatives
to
understand
public
engagement,
it
goes
beyond
like
the
10
people
who
might
show
up
and
boys.
You
know
their
opinions
about
a
specific
service
or
issue.
V
G
V
Philadelphia
foster
city,
you
know
they
have
over,
I
think
300
municipalities
they
work
with,
I
think,
boston,
new
york,
I
mean
this
is
a
very
big
company
that
has
proven
themselves
such
that
you
know
more
people
are
using
it
because
of
how
helpful
it
is,
like
I
said,
to
be
proactive
to
be
able
to.
M
We're
not
a
company,
so
we're
not
going
to
call
ourselves
a
company,
but
still
to
be
to
to.
I
understand
the
the
administration's
emphasis
on
being
data
driven,
I'm
curious
how
those
other
cities
are
using
it.
It
still
seems
a
little
strange
to
me
that
this
has
just
been
housed,
I
think,
did
you
say
in
the
mayor's
office
or
a
different?
What
department
has
been
using
it.
V
V
M
The
kind
of
cover
page
I
I
would
like
a
little
more
time
to
to
look
into
the
best
practices
around
these
things
again.
My
my
reaction
is
to
say
better,
be
safe
than
sorry.
I
see
that
the
people's
identifiers
are
removed,
but
that
was
still
a
kind
of
verbatim
screen
from
an
individual's
facebook
post,
and
I
can
think
of
a
lot
of
different
questions
that
I
don't
know
if
members
want
to
take
the
time
today.
M
To
answer,
which
is
excuse
me
for
the
kitchen
noises,
I
don't
know,
if
you
guys
can
hear
the
background
noise
with
you
that
are
you
know
how
do
you
know
they're
coming
from
a
city
resident
and
not
a
westmoreland
county
resident?
I
just.
I
just
have
a
lot
of
questions,
so
I
I'm
not
really
comfortable
supporting
this
today.
M
I
I'm
interested
in
in
learning
more
and
maybe
having
more
feedback
on
it
before
I
would
support
it,
but
I'll
leave
it
at
that
and
see
if
other
members
have
any
questions.
Thank
you.
P
Yes,
you
know
I
kind
of
tend
to
agree
with
councilwoman
gross.
I
don't
follow
social
media.
I
don't
rely
on
it
to
give
me
information
that
I
need.
I
just
walk
out
my
door
and
I
feel
like
the
people,
let
me
know-
and
I
feel
like
the
council
members
know,
you
know
the
issues
and
what
the
importance
of
the
issue
is
of
the
day.
P
You
know
how
much
are
we
talking
here
as
far
as
I'm
sorry,
I
don't
have
that
in
front
of
me.
What
was
the
amount?
How
much.
P
Thirty
thousand
dollars:
okay!
Well,
it's
not
a
no!
It's
gonna
exactly
break
the
bank,
but
I
am
hesitant
that
you
know
for
for
once.
We
do
start
collecting
this
information,
mr
smith,
who
analyzes
it,
and
so
so
so
it
actually
occupies
somebody
else
in
order
just
to
take
it
in
analyze,
it
decide
what
we're
going
to
do
with
it
kind
of
creates
a
job
I
feel
like
the
city
doesn't
need,
but
you
know
for
30
000
I'll
support
it.
V
P
V
Well,
it's
just
also
addressing
the
fact
that
you
know,
especially
since
covid
online
engagement
with
government
has
gone
up
exponentially
and
we
don't
have
the
tools
in
order
to
understand
the
scope
of
that
conversation.
We're
talking
about
hundreds,
millions,
billions
of
accounts
right,
obviously
not
in
pittsburgh.
V
So
this
is
just
keeping
up
with
the
times
and
we
think
this
tool
and
again
imp
is
just
implementing
the
toy
maliana
for
I
think
just
joined
as
well.
So
if
you
have
some
further
questions,
she
could
speak
about
like
the
actual
application.
But
again
I
just
think
that
you
know
I
don't
know
molly.
Do
you
want
to.
U
I'm
I'm
happy
to
take
specific
questions
as
well.
My
apologies,
I
was
at
a
press
conference
and
just
had
to
find
a
place
to
park,
so
I
could
join
in.
You
know
the
way
that
I
sort
of
think
about
this
platform.
U
Is
you
know
not
every
resident
or
you
know,
person
in
the
city,
business
owner
stakeholder
in
the
city
is
familiar
with
3-1-1
or
knows
that
they
can
come
to
council
meetings,
but
most
people
are
on
social
media,
so
you
know
a
lot
of
as
we're
seeing
an
increase
as
todd
said
and
folks
using
social
media
to
take
their
concerns,
their
questions.
You
know
issues
in
their
neighborhood.
U
This
platform
has
given
us
an
opportunity
to
not
just
hear
the
loudest
people
on
social
media,
but
to
see
how
folks
are
feeling
it's
also
given
us
the
opportunity
to
identify
additional
neighborhood
based
concerns.
So
you
know
if
there's
a
park,
maintenance
concern
and
there's
some
chatter
about
it
and
observatory
hill
or
the
river
view
park
area,
we're
able
to
flag
that
look
at
what
folks
are
saying
and
then
you
know
develop
an
appropriate
response
with
public
works
just
as
one
example.
U
P
Mr
chair,
I
guess
I
still
have
the
four
I
will.
You
know
relinquish
the
four.
I
don't
really
have
any
further
questions
again.
The
price
tag
is
right.
You
know
I'm
not
a
big
believer.
It
will
help
benefit.
You
know
the
city
in
any,
which
way
other
than
just
more
information
that
you
know.
I'd
rather
put
even
though
it's
a
minuscule
amount.
Thirty
thousand
dollars
when
we're
talking
about
government
is
that
a
one-time
is
that
for
a
year.
What
is
the
30
000
used
for.
M
You
so
either
mr
smith
or
sonifer.
You
said
it
was
acquired
within
the
last
year
through
different
processes.
Do
you
can
you
tell
us
when
it
was?
When
did
you
start
using.
M
I
say
so
may
2020
and
you
said
you
know
it's
viable,
so
you
can
hear
what
people
are
thinking,
but
can
you
give
us
examples
of
something
that
you
learned
and
then
how
you
responded
you
may
you
may
have
put
that
in
there
a
little
bit,
but
I
didn't
really
kind
of
catch.
It.
U
Sure
so
one
example,
you
know,
obviously
the
the
kovid
19
pandemic
was
folks
are
looking
to
us
for
answers,
and
you
know
in
the
beginning
we
weren't
really
sure
which
way
to
go.
So
it
was
helpful
in
understanding
which
communities
were
identifying
different
needs
so
that
we
could
help
taylor
responses
to
that.
M
I
know
it's
been
a
very
long
year.
It's
been
a
very
long
year.
We've
all
been
trying
to
respond
to
a
lot
of
things,
so
I
understand
not
being
able
to
really
kind
of
come
up
with
it
like.
Let
me
give
you
some
ideas
right.
We
all
heard
a
lot
of
concerns
and
activation
from
neighborhoods
around
food
insecurity.
I've
talked
about
that
a
lot
last
year
am
I.
I
was
really
impressed
by
the
volunteer
response
in
my
district
for
even
like
hyper
local
neighborhood
food
distributions.
U
The
one
example
I
would
say
that
sort
of
came
up
from
last
year
was
you
know
as
sorry
this
just
popped
into
my
head,
but
you
know
if
it's
given
more
time,
I
can
come
up
with
more
examples
for
you
that
councilwoman
the
when
folks
were
going
into
the
parks
more
the
there
was
a
lot
of
chatter
about
what
the
rules
were
for
wearing
masks
in
parks.
U
So
you
know
being
able
to
identify
that
as
a
question
that
a
lot
of
folks
were
asking
while
a
lot
of
people
were
using
parks,
we
were
able
to
coordinate
with
you
know
the
park
rangers
and
you
know
dpw
to
sort
of
clarify
that
and
and
get
some
more
information
about
that
on
social
media
and
as
well
as
in
the
park.
M
I
definitely
heard
concern
from
community
members
who
didn't
feel
safe
around
people
who
weren't
marrying
masks
when
it
was
our.
Even
our
guidance
from
the
federal
government
was
unclear
at
that
time
and
it
wasn't
as
as
clear
and
directive
as
it
might
have
been
for
people
at
the
early
points
of
the
pandemic,
but
I
feel
like
we,
we
heard
those
like
councilman
coghill,
said
yeah.
M
I
got
those
calls
and
emails,
and
certainly
people
use
our
direct
messaging
platforms,
which
I
have
to
just
say
to
the
public,
aren't
the
best
way
to
contact
my
office
emails.
Please
email
us
at
district
7
petersburg
pa.gov,
because
we
don't
always
catch
the
weird
little
inboxes
that
are
embedded
in
all
the
various
social
media
platforms.
It's
not
the
most
reliable
method,
but
we
do.
We
did
hear
those
concerns
directly.
Certainly,
people
came
to
public
comment
and
talked
about
the
issues
that
they
were
facing.
M
I
called
our
offices
and
reached
out
I
I'd
still.
As
I
said,
I
mean
I.
I
would
prefer
to
have
time
to
see
how
other
cities
have
rules
around
the
uses
of
these
kinds
of
platforms
have
best
practice
guidelines
about
who
has
access
to
the
information
about
what
kind
of
information
could
or
could
not
be
accessed.
A
If
not
the
only
thing
I
would
say
I
think
I
understand
your
concern.
Councilwoman
gross,
but
I
just
assumed
cities
were
already
doing
this
sort
of
stuff
so
because,
once
you
put
anything
on
social
media
is
for
public
consumption,
there's
no
expectation
of
privacy,
so
I
just
assume
government
was
already
doing
these
sort
of
analyses.
R
R
Mr
chair,
just
briefly,
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
councilwoman
gross
gets
her
questions
answered
between
now
and
tuesday.
I
should
have
said
this
earlier,
but
so
I
would
be
happy
to
work
with
molly
and
todd
and
councilman
and
councilman
coghill.
If
you
have
further
questions,
concerns
or
any
other
numbers.
Let's
get
those
very
specific,
very
detailed
questions
answered.
I.
I
A
In
the
opposed
bill
is
recommended
that
takes
us
to
our
intergovernmental
affairs
committee
chaired
by
councilwoman.
Gross
first
is
one
o
six,
three
four:
why
some
kind
of
u-turns.
J
M
R
S
O
H
A
Thank
you.
The
bill
is
tabled
bill
1368.
M
This
one
is
in
litigation
and
awaiting
a
court
date,
so
I'm
going
to
motion
to
hold
it
for
eight
weeks.
Second,.
H
A
Any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
bill
receives
a
positive
recommendation
that
does
exhaust
our
agenda.
For
today
we
do
have
some
meeting
announcements
this
evening
at
6
p.m.
Council
will
host
a
cable
cast
post
agenda,
discussion
of
health
care
workers
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
chaired
by
councilman
strasberger
next
week,
due
to
the
primary
election
council
will
hold
both
our
regular
and
standing
committee
meetings
on
monday
may
17th
at
10
a.m
and
1
30
p.m
respectively.
A
A
A
If
not
councilman
strasberger?
I
will
not
be
able
to
pay
attention
at
six
o'clock.
I
have
another
meeting,
but
I
will
watch
it
after
the
fact.
We
need
a
motion
to
excuse
absent
members
approve
the
minister
join
the
meeting.
