A
Good

thank
you

I
just
have
a
few
technical
notes

get

some
reason
they

B
Thank
you
much
leah.
My
name
is
david
hutchinson,
I'm
the
assistant
director
for
capital
and
asset
management,
mayor's
office
management
and
budget
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
thanks
for
attending
one
of
our
three
public
meetings,
possibly
more.
Maybe
you
came
last
night,
maybe
you're
coming
next
week
to
talk
through
the
2022
capital
budget,
there's
kind
of
two
main
goals
for
these
meetings.
B
One
is
to
provide
education
and
an
understanding
of
what
goes
into
the
capital
budget,
how
how
the
process
works
for
city
residents
and
then
the
other
is
to
get
input
from
city
residents
into
the
capital
budget
process.
We
want
to
know
what
you
want
to
see
in
the
budget,
and
this
is
a
great
way
for
us
to
get
that
feedback.
You
may
have
come
to
one
of
our
older
meetings
that
were
in
person.
I
miss
them.
B
I
miss
meeting
new
people
from
different
neighborhoods
all
over
the
city
and
talking
about
our
experiences
while
eating
pierogies,
hopefully
one
day
we'll
be
able
to
go
back
to
that.
But
last
year
we
were
able
to
shift
our
focus
with
the
help
of
imp
to
three
virtual
meetings
that
focus
on
different
portions
of
the
budget,
which
is
nice.
It
allows
us
to
do
kind
of
a
deeper
dive
on
specific
subjects,
so
tonight
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
recreation
projects,
parks,
playgrounds,
city
facilities
and
some
city
planning
projects.
B
Also,
this
as
leah
said
we'll
be
on
youtube
after
so
check
back
in
a
couple
days,
and
you
can
feel
free
to
share
the
link
with
your
friends
and
neighbors
whenever
that's
up-
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
of
course,
to
the
office
of
community
affairs.
They
did
a
lot
of
work
in
the
background
to
make
these
meetings
happen
and
to
promote
them.
B
Thank
you
to
the
city,
channel
department
of
innovation
and
performance
for
being
such
a
great
lifeline
these
past
15
months,
while
we
work
from
home
and
still
try
to
connect
with
the
public
and
thanks
to
heather
and
jim
our
our
interpreters
for
tonight.
I
also
want
to
shout
out
district
8
they're
here
in
attendance.
They've
been
huge
advocates
for
for
this
kind
of
engagement,
and
we
appreciate
their
support
and
also
the
council
budget
office
as
well.
I
just
want
to
do
a
quick
pause
to
see
if
anybody's
having
any
issues
with
accessibility.
B
Okay,
so
tonight
we're
going
to
do
a
short
overview
of
the
capital
budget
itself.
We're
also
going
to
hear
from
some
really
interesting
departments.
We
have
ross
chapman
from
city
parks
going
to
talk
about
spaces
and
infrastructure
and
how
they
program
those
spaces.
B
Chris
hornstein
is
here
from
dpw
to
talk
through
kind
of
the
development
process
for
dpw
projects,
the
inventory
of
assets
there's
a
lot
of
buildings,
a
lot
of
parks,
a
lot
of
playgrounds
and
how
dpw
prioritizes
projects
for
proposals
for
the
capital
budget.
We
also
have
martina
badastone
from
city
planning
to
talk
through
comprehensive
planning
for
recreational
assets.
You
may
have
participated
in
emerald
view
park,
open
space,
master
planning,
south
side
park,
open
space,
master
planning.
B
Those
are
great
projects
that
city
planning
leads
and
we'll
be
able
to
talk
through
talk
through
those
tonight
as
well.
Gotten
questions
in
previous
years,
very
valid,
understandable
questions.
Kind
of.
Why
are
we
here?
What's
going
to
happen
to
the
information?
That's
shared
tonight,
it's
important
to
keep
in
mind
that
when
you
submit
the
survey
we're
going
to
talk
about
in
a
little
bit
it's
published
in
the
capital
budget,
we
actually
try
to
publish
all
the
survey
results
there.
B
Additionally,
any
of
the
questions
that
you
pose
to
the
expert
panel
will
be
recorded
as
part
of
the
meeting,
and
those
questions
can
be
shared
with
department,
directors
and
city
council
offices
as
well.
So
up
next,
I'm
going
to
share
I'm
going
to
pass
it
to
pete
mcdevitt
from
our
capital
team
as
well
to
talk
through
the
capital
budget
process.
C
Thanks
dave,
hi
everybody
thanks
for
coming
tonight,
I'm
pete
mcdevitt.
I
am
a
senior
budget
analyst
in
the
office
of
management
and
budget
working
on
the
capital
budget.
So
tonight
we're
talking
about
the
capital
budget.
C
But
first
it's
important
to
talk
about
these,
the
the
chief
policy
documents
of
the
city,
that's
the
city's
operating
budget
and
the
capital
budget,
and
it's
it's
not
the
same
thing:
the
operating
budget
funds,
the
day-to-day
activities
of
the
city
like
everybody's
salaries
and
benefits,
the
uniform
supply
costs,
utilities
of
the
gas
and
water
bills
and
all
the
the
gasoline
that
our
vehicles
use.
So
everything
that
the
city
needs
to
do
on
a
day-to-day
basis
is
paid
for
out
of
the
operating
budget.
C
The
capital
budget
funds,
our
physical
infrastructure,
the
big
one-time
payments
that
are
large-scale
projects
that
cost
millions
of
dollars
or
hundreds
of
thousand
dollars
things
that
work
on
bridges
and
buildings
streets
park.
Reconstruction
vehicles
is
something
that
often
gets
overlooked.
All
the
garbage
trucks
that
are
picking
up
your
garbage
every
week
and
all
the
fire
trucks
that
are
answering
all
the
first
response
calls
and
and
all
of
the
housing
and
urban
development
programs
that
the
city
funds
there's
the
the
covers
of
each
of
our
policy
documents
for
the
city.
C
So,
what's
the
capital
budget
made
of
this
we
every
year
we
put
together
a
six-year
plan
that
looks
at
the
capital
improvement
plan
or
we
call
the
cip.
So
larger
projects
can
take
millions
of
dollars
in
multiple
years
to
to
complete
and
and
they
pull
from
various
funding
sources.
Every
single
year
we
have
the
community
development
block,
grant
funding
that
comes
from
the
housing
and
urban
development,
federal
branch
and
also
bond
money.
C
That
is
basically
a
large
loan
that
the
city
takes
out
to
pay
for
long-term
projects,
and
then
we
have
pay
as
you
go
money
paygo,
that
is
money,
that's
transferred
from
the
operating
budget
that
we
can
use
in
a
little
bit
for
for
vehicles
and
things
like
that
that
our
capital
assets,
but
don't
last
as
long
as
things
like
bridges
and
buildings,
and
then
we
also
have
other
and
that
could
be
confusing.
But
we
we
get
a
lot
of
grant
money
from
outside
organizations
like
the
state
or
the
federal
government
or
non-for-profit
entities.
C
So
we
put
all
that
together
and
come
up
with
the
six-year
capital
improvement
plan,
and
this
is
shown
in
every
single
year's
budget.
You
can
look
in
the
in
the
budget
book
and
find
this,
and
it
shows
all
the
money
that's
put
into
each
year
to
make
up
the
total
capital
improvement
plan.
C
D
B
C
Yeah,
that's
a
really
good
point.
Like
I
said,
a
lot
of
these
projects
can
take
multiple
years,
so
we
try
and
plan
that
out
ahead
of
time
but,
as
dave
said,
we're
only
responsible
for
the
the
upcoming
year.
So
what
does
the
budget
process
look
like
it?
Really?
Three
quarters
of
the
year
is
spent
building
the
next
year's
budget.
C
And
we
work
with
all
the
department,
directors
and
leadership,
including
dpw
and
department
of
parks
and
recreation
or
city
parks
and
city
planning
and
domey,
and
everybody
to
kind
of
hash
out
what
should
be
included
in
in
the
capital
budget.
And
we
present
a
summary
report
to
the
mayor's
office.
But
then,
at
the
end
of
september
he
proposes
his
preliminary
budget
and
then
we
might
make
some
tweaks
over
the
next
month
or
so
and
in
the
state
of
the
city
address
in
november.
C
The
mayor
will
propose
his
final
version
of
the
the
capital
budget,
along
with
the
operating
budget
and
from
there.
It
goes
to
december,
and
it's
really
important
at
this
point-
that
the
the
public
process
doesn't
start
at
that
point.
It
kind
of
reopens
whenever
people
can
go
to
city,
council
meetings
and
city
council
will
have
public
hearings
to
discuss,
what's
included
in
the
budget
or
what's
not
included
in
the
budget
and
what
they
think
shorter
shouldn't
be
in
there.
So
this
isn't
where
the
public
process
ends.
C
This
is
just
kind
of
the
beginning
and
it's
really
important
to
follow
along
all
the
way
through
that.
C
So
the
2021
budget
priorities
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
one
in
particular,
but
these
these
are
really
meant
to
inspire
proposal,
ideas
for
department
leadership
and
think
how
does
this
proposal
fit
into
the
mayor's
priorities?
C
So
they're
really
just
guiding
values
for
the
capital
budget
process
they're
set
by
the
mayor,
and
these
priorities
help
departments
understand
what
the
mayor
wants.
His
budget
to
look
like
they're
shared
with
department,
directors
and
council
offices
early
in
the
capital
budget
process
to
help
guide
the
selecting
projects
for
proposals
today,
we'll
be
asking
you
to
think
about
these
priorities
and
whether
you
believe
there
are
additional
values
that
should
be
should
guide
how
the
city
invest
in
its
infrastructure.
C
So
this
is
what
the
budget
proposal
document
actually
looks
like
there's
kind
of
a
full
first
page,
look
on
the
left
there
and
then
you'll
see,
there's
the
different
sort
of
funding
sources
that
people
can
list
and
if
it's
a
multi-year
project,
then
they
have
the
opportunity
to
say,
like
we
need
bond
money
in
2021
to
start
this
process
to
plan
out
this
park,
reconstruction
for
example,
and
then
2022
we'll
need
money
for
design
and
then
2023
we'll
need
money
for
construction,
so,
like
we
talked
about,
projects
can
cost
multi-millions
of
dollars
and
take
multiple
years.
C
So
we
we
put
these
design
this
in
a
way
that
that
we
can
get
that
kind
of
idea
of
what
we'll
need
not
just
for
this
year
but
over
the
next
multiple
years,
and
then
there's
sections
to
talk
about
the
the
project
themselves
and
why
it's
needed
and
the
how
it
impacts
the
operating
budget,
and
that
could
be
something
like
this
would
take
salaried
employees
would
need
to.
C
And
then,
once
departments
and
city
council
have
submitted
proposal,
that's
evaluated
and
scores
by
the
subset
of
the
capital,
the
cpfc,
the
mayor's
office
management,
budget
city
council
and
the
comptroller's
office.
So
we'll
look
at
this
criteria
and
then
sort
the
scores
from
highest
to
lowest
and
apply
the
year's
funding
constraints
and
come
up
with
each
team
member's
proposed
budget.
The
projects
are
ranked
the
marion
city
council
received
these
rankings
and
taking
those
rankings
into
consideration.
The
mayor
then
introduces
his
preliminary
budget
in
september,
and
these
aren't
in
any
order
either.
C
These
are
just
everything
that
the
capital
budget
facilitation
committee
scores.
Each
proposal
against.
B
Yeah
we're
gonna,
hear
from
city
plan,
I'm
sorry
city
parks
in
just
a
second.
I
just
want
to
note
that
tonight
and
anytime,
you
answer
the
survey.
Information
you're,
helping
the
project
have
a
better
score,
for
this
section
demonstrated
support
of
the
public.
So
whenever
we
have
those
letters
of
support
from
cdc's,
whenever
we
have
the
survey
data
calls
into
311
emails
into
the
city
council
offices
that
demonstrate
a
public
support,
we're
able
to
score
those
projects
higher.
B
So
next
I
think
we're
going
to
pass
it
to
director
ross
chapman
from
city
parks.
E
Good
evening,
everybody
thanks
dave
thanks
pete,
it's
always
informative,
even
for
us
who
work
in
the
city
yeah
thanks
for
that
introduction,
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
ross
chav
and
I'm
the
director
of
parks
and
recreation,
also
known
as
city
parks,
the
the
the
nomenclature
is
applicable,
no
matter
how
you
recognize
us
for
those
of
you
who
may
be
a
little
less
familiar
with
us,
and
I
won't
go
into
a
lot
of
detail.
E
E
So
we
work
closely
alongside
of
the
department
of
public
works,
the
department
of
mobility
infrastructure
and
really
every
department
within
the
city,
because
we're
an
outward
facing
group
of
folks
that
provide
services,
programs
and
activities
for
city
residents,
whether
they
be
youth,
whether
they
be
seniors,
whether
whether
it
be
specific
to
recreation
or
technology.
The
erect
tech
program
we're.
E
Trying
to
amplify
impact
and
as
much
as
we're
able
to
given
our
resources,
to
provide
good
programs
and
platforms
for
people,
people
to
engage
with
us
in
our
facilities
in
parks
in
and
around
anything
and
everywhere
that
that
we
have
a
presence-
and
I
think
you
know
it
during
a
normal
non-coveted
year.
Summer
is
obviously
our
our
busiest
time
we
probably
have
staff
in
and
around
50
or
so
city
facilities,
so
the
team
is
kind
of
small,
but
it's
pretty
mighty.
E
Next
slide
these
days,
I
really
don't
like
reading
powerpoint
slides,
so
you
can.
F
E
Themselves,
I'll
just
touch
upon
some
of
this
for
the
interpreter
to
to
transcribe,
but
you
know
we
do
aquatics,
we
do
recreation,
we
do
technology.
We
have
a
really
robust,
very
small
staff
food
program.
I
think,
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic
march
of
2020
mid-month.
E
Since
then,
we
have
distributed
maybe
650
000,
free
meals
to
seniors
and
kids
and
families
for
free.
So
that's
we're
still
able
to
make
an
impact
and
have
been
able
to
do
so
in
a
very
different
way,
but
we've
been
able
to
kind
of
touch
residents
and
communities
in
need
and
facilitate
that
kind
of
ongoing
engagement.
Even
though
our
rec
and
senior
centers
and
much
of
our
program
have
been
programming
was
shuttered
due
to
covet
we're
trying
to
amplify
what
we
do.
We've
learned
a
lot
through
this
past
15
months.
E
I
think
when,
when
business
resumes
kind
of
as
as
normal,
as
we
all
hope,
we're
on
track
to
do
soon,
we're
going
to
continue
some
of
the
virtual
programs
and
outreach
that
has
proven
to
be
successful.
For
us,
we've
been
able
to
engage
folks
that
we
don't
wouldn't
normally
see
come
into.
Maybe
one
of
our
facilities-
and
it's
been
really
informative
for
us
to
think
about
how
better
to
approach
kind
of
service
delivery
as
a
model
kind
of
an
enterprise
solution
to
what
we
do.
E
So
I
I
tell
the
people
that
I
work
with
I'm
just
part
of
the
the
root
system
of
the
tree
and
all
the
branches,
or
perhaps
the
folks
that
you,
you
all
have
seen
out
in
the
community
and
rec
center
senior,
centers
and
aquatics
programs,
etc,
etc.
Those
are
the
folks
doing
the
hard
work
so
just
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
my
team
next
dave,
please
just
a
list
of
some
of
the
things
that
can
be
a
little
confusing
internally
and
externally.
Internally
for
other
city
personnel.
E
Some
of
the
council
members,
as
well
as
for
the
public
in
general
listed,
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
responsible
for.
I
mentioned
community
and
healthy,
active
living,
senior,
centers,
aquatics
programs,
inclusive
of
the
oliver
bath
house.
I
think
there's
29
aquatics
facilities,
those
include
spray
parks,
melon,
tennis,
center
tennis
programs.
We
have
community
enrichment
programs.
We
have
programs
in
some
of
the
public
schools,
roving
art
carts,
special
programs
that
happen
in
some.
G
E
This
is
where
it's
often
helpful
for
people
to
realize
what
we
don't
do.
We
have
a
really
dynamic
person
in
our
office
that
somehow
manages
to
field
every
3-1-1
call
just
about
every
phone
call
they're
just
amazing,
but
this
is
a
list
of
some
of
the
stuff
that
is
often
one
would
think
you
know
kind
of
naturally,
parks
and
recreation.
Well,
we
would
manage
these
things.
Well,
these
things
don't
fall
directly
within
my
purview
or
we
don't
operate
and
kind
of
manage
these.
E
These
activities
within
parks
and
rec
parks
and
playground,
building
maintenance,
public
works,
you'll
hear
from
acting
director
hornstein
soon,
and
you
may
talk
about
some
of
this
stuff,
but
some
of
this
stuff.
Oh,
I
see,
there's
a
change
here:
the
shin
the
ice
rink,
the
shem,
the
ice
rink
is
listed
as
something
that
the
department
of
public
works
offered.
They
did
until
perhaps
this
time
last
year
it
was
a
an
asset
entity,
program
area
that
was
within
the
department
of
parks
and
rec.
E
It
was
shifted
to
the
department
of
public
works,
while
there
was
a
large
capital
infrastructure
project
that
that
commenced.
That
project
was
completed
little
over
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
perhaps-
and
since
it's
programmatic
in
nature
and
there's
a
pretty
nice
new
ice
rink
that
was
designed
and
constructed
via
the
dpw,
the
rink
returned
to
city
park.
So
we
do
manage
that
that
program.
Currently,
we
we
do
not.
E
We
are
not
responsible
for
shelter,
rentals
and
park
pavilions
and
the
permitting
process
for
fields
we
do
some
permitting
for
tennis
courts.
We
do
permit
for
indoor
use
of
perhaps
a
rec
center
space
or
a
healthy,
active
living
senior
center
space,
but
largely
the
permitting
process
happens
outside
of
my
department,
farmers,
markets,
yeah.
Naturally,
you
think
parks
and
rec.
It's
within
the
office
of
special
events,
which
is
within
public
safety.
They
have
a
really
close
tie
into
the
bureau
of
police
and
others
in
that
public
safety
arena.
F
E
That
they
work
pretty
closely
with
those
folks
in
public
safety
park
rules,
there's
a
myriad
of
them.
If
anybody
was
really
interested
or
maybe
really
bored,
you
could
look
up
city
code
and
look
at
all
the
municipal
code.
E
You
see
all
the
things
that
either
the
director
of
parks
and
recreation
or
public
works
or
public
safety,
etc,
etc,
are
responsible
for
rules
and
regulations
and
things
that
ordinance
that
ordinances
that
we
have
listed
that
are
publicly
viewable
for
you
all
that
allow
us
to
kind
of
create
some
sort
of
organization
in
and
around
asset
use,
whether
it
be
how
people
interface
with
parks
or
provisions
around
shelters
and
trails.
All
of
those
kinds
of
things
can
be
or
can
contain
within
within
the
municipal
code.
E
E
I
know
is
this
me
or
will
chris
jump
in
now?
I
think
I
can
touch
upon
some
of
these
things:
real,
quick
yeah.
This
is
just
a
list
of
some
of
the
recreation
assets
in
parks.
There's
quite
a
few
parks
166
are
listed,
there's
nearly
4
000
acres
of
park
of
park
footprint
in
the
city,
34
miles
of
trails,
five
miles,
retaining
walls,
62,
shelters,
pavilions,
51
and
counting.
F
D
D
D
E
E
If
you
just
look
at
that
from
kind
of
a
brick
and
mortar
standpoint
that
speaks
to
the
capital
program
and
the
capital
projects,
thus
the
need
for
us
to
constantly
revisit
this
and
think
through
what
what
we
can
do
to
kind
of
offset
deferred
maintenance
and
move
the
needle
forward
so
that
all
of
these
assets
are
are
presented
in
a
way
that
you
know,
city
residents
feel
really
good
good
about
when
they,
when
they
access
them,
when
they
use
them
so
forth,
and
so
on.
E
Yes,
thanks
dave
swimming
pools,
yes,
just
as
I'll
make
a
brief
mission,
and
this
is
kind
of
a
perhaps
a
request
for
for
interest
or
for
those
that
might
have
interest
in
summer
employment
to
look
at
the
human
city
of
pittsburgh
in
the
resource
careers
page.
E
D
F
E
I
don't
think
it's
any
surprise
to
anyone.
If
you
just
looked
at
the
news
or
you
heard
it
or
whatever
that
there's
a
real
national
shortage
of
folks
that
are
kind
of
in
the
workforce,
again
covet
really
changed
a
number
of
things
for
people
and
some
folks
just
haven't
returned
back
into
the
workforce
or
haven't
had
interest
in
perhaps
some
of
the
jobs
that
they
had
perhaps
worked
in
previously,
whether
they
be
service
sectors,
restaurant,
hotel
industries,
construction
manufacturing,
it's
kind
of
across
the
board,
but
it's
really
impacted
us
this
summer
with
covet.
E
D
E
Dug
in
we
did
what
we
had
to
do,
we're
emerging
from
that.
Fortunately,
but
we
haven't
been
able
to
secure
the
number
of
folks
that
we
need
for
pools.
Spray
parks
are
open,
all
eight
of
them
and
we're
hoping
to
move
move
beyond
just
eight
pools
of
opening,
but
that's
what's
targeted
as
of
right.
Now
I
hear
some
additional
recreational
ball
fields
and
quartz
asset
figures.
Quite
a
few
more
going
in
right
now,
there's
new
pickleball
courts.
E
Pickleball
is
the
it
seems
to
be
the
the
new
sport,
the
new
craze
and
there's
some
new
courts
going
in
over
in
the
frick
park
area.
So
we're
excited
to
open
those
up
soon
and
there's
a
demand
for
even
more
so.
What
we've
seen
also
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
since
cobit
is
people
are
really
really
using
outdoor
recreational
assets.
E
It's
very
good,
but
it's
also
kind
of
taxing
on
the
asset.
So
this
also
allows
us
ways
to
to
think
about
addressing
that
kind
of
amplified,
usage
and
hopes
that
we
can.
We
can
better
kind
of
map
use
to
facility
need
and
continue
to
provide
good
services
and
support
for
for
the
people
that
are
out
there
using
our
assets.
E
Again,
quick
mention
of
the
playgrounds
firmly
within
the
department
of
public
works
are
some
really
wonderful:
landscape,
architects
and
project
managers
and
architects,
and
those
are
the
folks
that
design
and
implement
playgrounds,
the
swing
bay
areas,
the
ball
fields,
so
it
might
sound
weird
but
often
time.
My
department
is
the
client
and
we
work
closely
with
the
folks
in
public
works,
the
design,
professionals
and
project
managers
to
facilitate
what
we're
trying
to
deliver
for
city
residents.
E
There's
a
quick
nod
to
the
mention
of
pools.
Again,
it's
an
unusual
year
we're
all
we're
hoping
that
it
changes
a
little
bit
but
and
here's
some
other
some
other
asset
figures
relative
to
rec,
centers
and
senior
centers.
I
want
to
make
quick
mention
too.
This
may
sound
a
little
bit
weird,
but
capital
money.
As
dave
and
pete
mentioned,
it's
largely.
E
And
or
kind
of
hud
related
we
do
receive
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
support
our
senior
program.
It's
capital
development
block,
grant
money,
cwg
money.
So
it's
a
grant.
F
E
We've
been
getting,
we
also
get
we're
also
funded
by
the
area
agency
on
of
aging
and
allegheny
county
to
support
the
senior
program.
But
this
without
that
federal
assistance
through
this
these
capital
monies,
it
would
be
very
hard
for
us
to
be
impossible
for
us
to
deliver
13
senior,
centers
and
program
those
assets.
So
that's
a
really
important
consideration
for
us
when
it
comes
to
capital
monies.
B
E
B
Yeah
we're
glad
to
have
you
so
up.
Next
we're
going
to
hear
from
chris
hornstein
from
the
department
of
public
works
on
how
they
view
and
prioritize
projects.
F
Well,
thanks
dave
and
thanks
again
ross
for
all
your
work
that
you
and
your
team
assistants
that
you
provide
us-
and
you
know
I
think,
as
ross
mentioned
as
I
coach,
our
design,
professionals
and
staff.
You
know
we
really
do
view
everybody
as
a
client.
You
know
the
department
of
parks
and
rec
is,
is
a
large
client
of
ours,
we're
happy
to
work
with
them.
It's
a
great
partnership
as
well
as
the
public.
F
You
know,
they're
our
client
too,
and
now
we're
gonna
kind
of
get
into
the
nuts
and
bolts
here
of
basic.
You
know,
capital
project
types
for
and
and
how
we
in
public
works,
consider
asset
management.
So
basically
we
have
two
types
of
projects.
We
have
what
we
would
call
a
sustainment
project
and
we
have
a
transformation
projects.
So
sustainment
is
basically
you
know,
regular,
but
infrequent
replacement
of
of
assets
and
or
systems.
So
you
know
examples
of
this
is
replacing
a
roof,
replacing
a
boiler,
an
hvc
unit,
replacing
playground,
equipment,
etc.
F
Generally
requires
you
know,
minimal
design
or
engineering.
It's
a
little
bit
different
than
maintenance,
which
is
infrequent
but
maintenance
being
like
basic
repairs.
So
that's
like
fixing
a
toilet,
patching
a
roof
and
it's
different
than
operations,
which
is
would
include
things
like
cleaning
and
then
all
the
programming
that
ross
would
or
in
his
staff
would
deliver
out
of
facilities
and
parks.
F
You
know,
transfer
to
transformation
project
is,
is
largely
bigger.
You
know
this.
These
fundamentally
changes
the
asset
itself,
so
it
takes
something
it
makes
it
different,
hopefully
better
than
it
was
before.
So
we're
generally
adding
things
you
know
generally
improves.
You
know
service
to
citizen,
and
you
know
it
will
require
a
high
level
of
design
and
engineering,
so
some
examples
of
projects
where
we've
done
that
open
recently
their
transformation
projects.
This
would
be
whiteman
park
paulson
spray
park,
you
know
beach
view
senior
and
community
center
and
the
shanley
ice
rink
reconstruction.
F
So
we
talk
about
sustainment
projects.
We
deliver
them
on
a
little
bit
on
what
I
call
a
quote:
unquote,
compressed
timeline.
You
know
we
identify
need
as
part
of
scoping.
We
work
with
the
capital
budget
team
to
put
forward
a
budget
request.
You
know,
council
approves
that
budget
request.
We
begin
we
go
immediately
into
design
and
procurement
and
we
can
actually,
if
contracts
are
in
place
already.
F
You
know
we
can
kind
of
fast
track
that
construction
with
this
distinct
us
with
a
very
specific
scope
and
funding,
provided
we
have
contracts
in
place.
This
whole
process
generally
takes.
We
talk
about
a
sustainment
project
generally
takes
anywhere
from
about
you
know,
12
to
18
months
to.
F
F
You
know
seeking
council
approval
council
approval
at
that
point
in
time
will
only
be
funding
the
design
and
the
engineering
in
some
very
unusual
cases,
usually
related
to
emergency
scenarios.
F
You
know
we
can
fully
load
the
project
for
design
engineering
and
construction
within
one
budget
cycle,
but
that's
very
unusual
as
we
complete
our
design
and
engineering.
We
return
the
following
year
for
additional
council
budget
approval,
request
to
fund
construction
and
so
typically,
what
we
consider
this
transformation
project
takes
about
three
years.
F
You
know
we
have
to
have
the
money
in
hand
to
do
the
thing
at
one
time,
and
so
typically,
what
you'll
find
in
a
single
phase
construction
is
the
asset
might
be
offline,
unusable
by
the
public
during
its
construction.
So
examples
of
this
would
be
paulson
spray
park
whiteman
park,
where
you
know
the
for
the
bulk
of
the
construction.
You
know
those
assets
were
unavailable
to
the
public.
Multi-Phase
projects
again
are
kind
of
also
like
they
sound.
We
typically
will
stretch
the
delivery
out
over
several
years.
F
You
know
so
we
work
closely
with
the
budget
office
to
figure
out.
You
know
when
funding
is
needed,
what
levels
and
amounts
and
then
with
a
multi-phase
project.
You
know.
Sometimes
these
things
remain
operational
during
a
portion
of
the
construction,
so,
depending
on
how
we
tackle
things,
how
we
tackle
the
project.
Examples
of
that
would
be
like
our
recent
work
at
southside
market
house
and
the
mcgee
wreck
and
greenfield
senior
center
next
slide.
Some
other
things
that
we
have
considerations
about
our
master
planning.
F
So
if
city
planning
is
performing
a
master
plan,
like
some
of
you
may
participate
in
the
processes
for
southside
park,
sheridan
park
coming
up
emerald
view,
so
adding
up
that
true
master
plan
on
the
front
of
the
process
will
add
one
minute
a
minimum
of
a
year
and
it
also
automatically
creates
a
multi-phase
project.
F
One
of
the
questions
that
I
often
get
from
all
over
the
place
is:
why
does
this
whole
process
take
so
long?
Well,
I
think
the
first
thing
is
the
city
is
risk-averse.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
spending
our
money
on
good
things.
We
want
to
make
sure
very
much
so
that
we're
doing
things
correctly.
F
You
know
the
city
also
has
additional
requirements
to
meet
that
are
kind
of
above
and
beyond
what
a
private
developer
has
to
do
so.
Some
examples
of
those
things
are:
we
have
to
go
to
our
commission.
We
have
very
city,
specific
zoning
regulations
that
we
have
to
follow.
F
We
have
to
go
to
the
equal
opportunity,
review
commission
we're
bound
by
specific
procurement
laws
and
then,
when
we
receive
grant
assistance
from
non-profits
from
the
state
or
from
the
federal
government,
often
time
those
grants
come
with
requirements
to
do
certain
activities
as
part
of
the
bidding
process
or
part
of
the
construction
additional
documentation
which
also
takes
extra
time
so
of
that
three-year
transformation
project
you
know
about
one
year
in
total,
cumulatively,
is
spent
doing
the
following:
where
we're
writing
proposals,
we're
procuring
contracts
and
we're
doing
zoning
and
permitting
reviews
and
approvals,
which
is
all
things
that
happen
kind
of
behind
the
scenes
that
isn't
generally
part
of
the
public.
F
The
public
discourse,
but
are
critical
to
project
success
and
we're
always
you
know,
try
to
be.
You
know
active
engaged
partners
in
all
of
those
processes.
F
So
we
consider
projects
for
prioritization.
You
know
we're
we're
really
looking
at.
You
know
the
community
and
the
program
needs
we
rely
and
lean
on.
You
know
the
department
of
city
planning
and
the
department
of
parks
and
recreation.
You
know
to
help
us
identify
those
community
and
program
needs.
F
You
know
they
there's
a
lot
of
tremendous
insight
in
both
of
those
departments,
and
so
we
really
take
that
to
heart.
You
know,
there's
also
the
consideration
of
whether
or
not
the
asset
has
the
appropriate
amenities
to
meet
those
needs.
You
know
typically
as
part
of
a
city
planning
process.
F
If
there's
a
master
plan
involved,
you
know
that
planning
process
would
have
helped
identify
that
you
know
sometimes
where
the
project
doesn't
necessarily
rise
to
the
level
there'll,
be
some
community
engagement
done
on
the
behalf
of
just
strictly
the
department
of
public
works
to
identify
with
the
community,
you
know
appropriate
changes.
F
We
look
at
how
an
asset
fits
into
the
city's
comp
plan.
We
consider
its
condition.
We
also
have
to
consider
you
know,
there's
a
variety
of
funding
sources
that
you
know
dave
and
peter
kind
of
already
identified,
and
so
we
have
to
look
at
that
and
we
have
to
look
at.
You
know
the
available.
What
we
think
might
be
the
availability
of
those
funds
and
then
the
cost
and
the
type
of
project
are
all
factors
that
kind
of
we
weigh
in
when
we
prioritize
projects
next
slide.
B
Yeah,
thank
you.
That's
actually,
I
think
the
last
one
I
think
we're
gonna
be
moving
to
martina
bastogne
from
city
planning
in
just
a
little
bit
yeah.
I
worked.
I
worked
in
banking
before
joining
the
city
six
years
ago.
I
remember
going
to
a
conference
early
on
talking
through
how
long
it
takes
for,
for
some
of
these
things
to
happen
and
an
old
experienced
person
from
another
budget
office
in
another
city
said
this
is
slow
on
purpose.
This
is
everybody's
money.
G
Yeah
thanks
dave,
I'm
marty
battistone.
I
am
an
environmental
planner
in
the
department
of
city
planning
and
I
will
keep
this
pretty
brief,
but
I
don't
want
that
to
sort
of
underscore
the
importance
of
the
city
planning
projects
that
have
been
funded
with
the
capital
budget.
In
the
past
I
would
say
the
most
important
one
is
open
space
pgh,
and
that
is
the
city's
comprehensive
look
at
all
of
its
open
space
and
recreational
spaces
across
the
city.
G
It
really
kind
of
took
a
totally
zoomed
out
view
of
everything
in
the
city
and
has
paved
the
way
for
how
we've
moved
forward
since
it
was
adopted
in
2013.
next
slide.
G
G
Look
at
the
greenways
in
the
city
which
aren't
you
know
technically
parks,
but
are
really
important:
green
spaces
and
ecological
spaces
across
the
city,
and
so
it
really
looked
at
how
these
can
better
serve
as
amenities
for
people
that
live
near
them
and
then
the
other
document
that
came
from
that
was
the
vacant
lot
tool
kit,
which
led
to
the
adopt-a-lot
program
that,
hopefully
you
know
some
of
you
are
familiar
with.
That
really
looks
to
activate
the
publicly
owned
properties
across
the
city
that
would
otherwise
sit
vacant.
G
G
So
one
of
the
biggest
recommendations
that
came
from
open
space
pgh
was
that
it
sort
of
set
a
list
of
priorities
for
where
and
when
we
do
park,
master
planning
and
a
park.
Master
plan
is
sort
of
a
relatively
zoomed
out.
Look
at
a
park
and
like
ross
and
chris
said
where
you
know,
we
want
to
assess
what
amenities
are
actually
being
used.
What
does
the
neighborhood
want
to
see
there?
G
You
know
what
areas
can
we
improve
things
like
that?
How
can
we
make
this
the
highest
and
best
use
for
that
space?
And
so
since
then,
we've
done
a
lot
of
master
planning.
The
southside
park
master
plan
was
completed
in
2018
through
a
combination
of
grant
and
capital
funding
and
as
I'll
speak
about
in
just
a
moment,
that
is
one
of
the
first
sort
of
master
plans
that
we've
taken
through
from
master
planning
through
implementation.
G
We
completed
the
sheridan
park
master
plan
in
2020
emerald
view
park
is
wrapping
up
soon
in
the
in
the
coming
months,
and
that
was
done
with
grant
funding
and
capital
budget.
We
are
we
just
about
wrapped
up
the
fort
pitt
park,
master
plan,
which
I
see
someone
referenced
in
the
questions
and
answers.
G
G
I
just
want
to
point
out
you
know,
obviously,
with
covid
and
not
being
able
to
do
in-person
public
meetings
we
had
to
get
you
know
creative
of
how
we
can
still
move
things
forward
in
the
interim,
and
so
we
moved.
You
know
a
lot
of
engagement
online,
but
we
still
did
our
best
to
ensure
that
you
know
even
for
those
who
aren't
necessarily
able
or
comfortable
to
access
that
online,
that
that
we
were
able
to
get
their
input.
G
So
there's
a
photo
of
you
know
the
online
fort
pitt
park
plan
and
then
an
in-person
meeting
that
we
were
able
to
do
last
fall
as
well
next
slide,
and
this
is
just
an
example,
like
I
said,
of
south
side
park,
which
you
can
see
sort
of
an
excerpt
from
the
plan
that
basically
calls
out.
G
You
know
what
amenities
should
go
in
what
area
of
the
park
and
a
big
part
of
the
master
planning
process,
especially
for
the
larger
parks
like
this,
is
to
propose
phasing
so
that
really
helps
us
when
making
these
capital
budget
requests
to
say
all
right.
We
know
these
set
of
projects
make
sense
to
be
phased
together.
You
know
at
the
beginning
to
where
you
know
we're
not
going
to
be
doing
construction
kind
of
over
the
same
space,
or
these
are
the
highest
priorities.
G
Hopefully,
some
of
you
are
able
to
make
the
community
budget
meeting
on
the
8th,
which
will
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
the
work
that
city
planning
does
with
comprehensive
planning
and
neighborhood
planning,
but
just
as
it
relates
to
recreation
and
open
space,
we've
had
a
lot
of
other
capital
budget
funded
projects
that
have
really
taken
a
look
at
you
know
the
city's
land
and
its
spaces
and
how
we
can
better
be
utilizing.
G
Those
kind
of
on
a
street
scale,
a
neighborhood
scale
and
a
city
scale
to
you,
know,
improve
stormwater
management,
provide
better
green
space
amenities
to
residents
and
really
just
kind
of
improve
the
urban
forest
and
in
the
landscape
in
those
spaces.
So
the
uptown
eco
innovation
district
is
an
example
of
some
capital
budget
funded
work
from
city
planning.
G
That
really,
you
know,
looks
at
a
lot
of
these.
These
other
elements,
such
as
stormwater
infrastructure
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
it
for
me.
B
Yeah
thanks
marty
we're
gonna
go
back
to
dpw
in
a
little
bit.
Let's
talk
through
some
specifics
on
projects
you
might
be
familiar
with,
but
I
do
want
to
say:
I've
been
really
impressed
with
engaged
pgh.
Our
kind
of
new
online
portal
city
planning
put
a
lot
of
work
into
it.
Office
of
community
affairs
has
put
a
lot
of
work
into
it.
It's
a
really
great
tool.
We're
actually
going
to
go
over
it
a
little
bit
in
a
few
minutes.
Up
next
is
going
to
be
chris
again.
F
Oh
yeah,
so
just
talk
briefly
about
some
capital
projects.
You
know
this
was
a
mcgee,
rec
recreation
and
greenfield
senior
center.
You
know
this
was
a.
This
is
a
project
that
we
completed.
I
think
about
two
years
ago
took
us
about
18
months.
It
was
multi-phased,
so
we
delivered.
F
You
know
air
conditioning
to
the
building.
You
know
we
improved
the
senior
area
classroom.
We
provide
new
aesthetics,
you
know
kind
of
a
better
front
door
to
the
facility,
and
you
know
we.
We
also
had
improved
the
you
know:
adjacent
ball
field
with
new
led
ball
field
lighting,
so
less
less
light
pollution
escaping
the
in
the
community.
F
So
that
was
a
recent
next
slide.
F
As
you
can
see
here,
this
is
a
capital
project
at
sheridan
senior
center.
So
you
know
this
is
you
know,
providing
better
ada
access
and
more
comfort
for
seniors
and
improved
aesthetics,
as
you
can
see
like
magically
like
what
we
envisioned
for
the
project?
It's
beginning
to
look
like
that.
This
is
something
that
we're
hoping
to
finish:
construction
on
by
the
end
of
july
next
slide.
F
Here's
you
know
a
pretty
exciting
capital
project
which
is
whiting
park.
You
know
we
just
finished
this
up.
Last
fall,
as
you
can
see.
There's
a
you
know
in
the
aerial
photos
is
a
pretty
good
before
and
after
so
this
is.
This
is
a
prime
example
of
what
I
call
you
know:
transformative
project
completely
different,
so
we
expanded
our
play
opportunities.
We
put
in
a
new
picnic
pavilion.
F
F
F
You
know
this
was
taking
a
a
pool
that
had
been
decommissioned
and
we
had
with
this.
We
had
renovated
the
bath
house,
updated
for
public
use
and
made
it
some
more
ada
accessible,
and
we
also,
along
with
this-
we
provided.
You
know
a
new
playground
for
folks
as
well.
As
you
know,
some
improvements
to
adjacent
ballfield.
F
So,
in
addition
to
those
kind
of
normal
things
that
that
you
see
we,
we
always
have
kind
of
a
running
program
of
capital,
improvements
and
parks
and
facilities
that
we
try
to
implement,
but
additional
things
that
we'll
be
asking
for
this
year.
So
you
know
we
are
trying
to
be
responsive
to
you
know
the
coven
19
pandemic.
F
You
know
realizing
that,
unfortunately,
you
know,
there's
health
concerns
when
it
comes
to
people
in
buildings-
and
this
is
always
going
to
be
the
case.
That
always
has
been
the
case,
but
I
think
that
the
pandemic
has
kind
of
brought
this
to
new
light,
so
we're
looking
at
you
know
multi-year
multi-deliverable
program
to
address
public
restrooms
in
all
city
facilities.
So
this
is,
you
know,
cleanliness
and
sanitation
through
no
touch
low
flow
fixtures,
making
sure
we're
focusing
on
ada
accessibility
and
then
other
issues
around
centered
around
fresh
air
exchange.
F
We
generally
are
already
capturing
those
whenever
we
have
a
larger
renovation
project
for
a
building
or
you
know
we're
replacing
individual
hvc
components.
We're
also
looking
at
you
know,
recommending
in
heavy
multi-year
focus
on
energy
and
utility
efficiency
projects.
So
just
for
awareness,
you
know
the
city
spends
almost
12
million
dollars
a
year
annually
on
utility
costs
to
operate
city
facilities,
so
we're
tackling
this
in
a
variety
of
ways.
Right
now
there
is
city
code.
We
have
a
net
zero
ready
requirement
for
large-scale
renovations.
F
That
requires
us
to
look
at
the
building
holistically
to
come
up
with
a
very
energy
efficient
program
that
uses
a
minimal
amount
of
energy
for
renovations
that
we
know
you
know,
won't
rise
to
the
level
of
needing
that.
You
know
we
have
a
bunch
of
smaller
scale
interventions
led
lightings
lighting
controls,
a
lot
of
it's
centered
around
electricity,
electricity
and
water
efficiency.
B
Yeah
and
then
it's
a
it's
a
department
of
mobility
infrastructure
project,
but
we
also
just
put
out
into
the
wider
world
an
rfp
for
led
street
light
upgrades
so
that
we
can
replace
the
31
000
35
000
somewhere
in
there
street
lights
in
the
city
and
get
much
better
lower
energy
usage
out
of
those
so
definitely
interesting
to
kind
of
see
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
with
capital
projects
in
ways
that
we
can
both
save
money
in
the
operating
budget
and
also
just
kind
of
do
better
by
the
environment.
B
So
up
next,
I'm
going
to
stop
sharing
you
the
opportunity
to
ask
any
questions
you
may
have.
We
have
a
couple
in
the
q
a,
but
you
can
also
raise
your
hand.
Both
of
those
functions
are
down
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen,
so
you
can
click
on
those
at
any
time.
We're
going
to
start
with.
With
nina
saying
I
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
would
like
to
say
that
garfield
really
hopes
for
funding
for
fort
pitt
park
plan
improvements.
Additionally,
we
hope
for
one
day
to
have
a
recreation
building
in
garfield.
B
Those
are
great
great
comments.
I
think
there's
a
pretty
strong
strong
need
some
of
the
recreation
assets
there.
I
know
the
community's
pretty
active
with
fort
pitt
and
I
was
glad
to
see
some
of
the
playing
that's
going
on
there
and
then
barbara
also
had
a
comment.
Barbara
warwick,
here
from
greenfield
community
association.
We
have
been
in
contact
with
dpw,
but
I
wanted
to
raise
awareness
on
this
call
as
well
about
the
deteriorating
playgrounds
and
playing
fields
in
greenfield
hazelwood
and
shenley
park.
B
Specifically,
four
mile
run,
playground
is
blocked
off
and
near
unusable
bergman
field
needs
major
improvements.
The
anderson
playground,
the
main
climbing
structure
is
blocked
off
and
the
swings
have
been
removed,
but
hammer
also
needs
repairs,
but
dpw
has
said
that
these
are
scheduled
for
late
august,
so
fingers
crossed
these
playgrounds
and
playing
fields
are
critical
of
health
and
well-being
for
our
kids.
We
often
hear
from
dpw
that
they
have
not
been
given
budget
for
these
fixes.
So
who,
where
do
we
turn
to
to
ensure
these
improvements
are
budgeted?
B
This
year
also
is
more
of
a
wish
than
requirement.
We
would
love
to
get
the
funds
to
build
a
new
community
playground
at
greenfield
school
thanks
very
much
I'll
pass
to
kristen
a
little
bit.
If
there's
any
specific
comments
you
have
about
the
projects
that
were
raised,
I
will
say
that
your
sentiment
is
shared
by
a
lot
of
city
residents.
Barbara
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
pittsburgh
parks,
conservancy
got
and
kind
of
the
parks
tech's
public
engagement
they
did
was
heavy
on
maintenance.
It
was
heavy
on
repairing
what
we
have
upgrading.
B
F
Oh
yeah,
I
want
to
address
some
of
your
concerns
right
here,
barbara,
so
the
playground
of
four
mile
run.
You
know
we
are
aware
of
that.
We
just
recently
ordered
our
replacement
parts,
so
we're
hopeful
to
get
those
as
soon
as
possible.
Make
that
aware.
F
Bloodhammer
is
still
on
schedule
for
late
august,
so
you
know
we
haven't
heard
of
any
supply
chain
problems
with
playground
equipment
to
date,
so
that
program
is
running
as
communicated
anderson
playground.
Unfortunately,
very
aware
also
just
a
very
unsafe
structure
that
kids
really
shouldn't
be
on.
So
we're
aware
of
the
need.
We
will
be
putting
together
a
capital
budget
proposal
for
anderson
playground
for
2022,
so
we're
hoping
that
you
know
the
administration
and
city
council
can
give
it
a
favorable
review.
F
And
that's
it.
I
believe
hirsch
had
wanted
to
answer
the
question
on
the
previous
question
about
the
fort
pitt.
D
My
apologies
director.
I
moved
it
to
the
answered
question.
So
if
you
click
on
the
answered
section,
you
should
be
able
to
see
it
there
to
finish
answering
oh.
F
Thank
you,
sir
yeah,
and
that's
in
you
know
the
fort
pitt
park
plan.
You
know,
I
know
that
that's
within
city
plannings
realm
right
now
we're
working
hand
in
glove
with
them
to
kind
of
review.
The
program
you
know
and
kind
of
working
with
the
community
to
you
know
realize
that
project.
B
So
the
main
kind
of
data
you're
all
able
to
see
my
screen
right.
A
And
dave,
we
do
have
one
more
question
in
the
no
I'm
sorry
thank.
B
You
yeah
nina
kite
hill
park,
was
identified
in
the
park
surveys
being
in
the
top
10
that
needs
fixed.
However,
we've
been
previously
told
that
it
was
inaccessible,
so
it
might
not
be
funded.
You
give
any
detail
on
how
that
might
get
lined.
B
F
I've
visited
kite
hill,
so
the
challenges
with
kite
hill
are.
It
is
a
hill,
you
know
so
getting
80
accessibility
there
really
really
challenging
you
know.
The
other
thing
I
would
pose
is
that
the
park,
as
it's
kind
of
currently
configured,
I
think,
raises
some
very
serious.
Like
safety
public,
you
know
safety
for
users
of
the
park,
concerns
for
me
as
a
as
a
professional.
F
So
that's
one
of
the
projects
where
I
would
I
would
engage
with
city
planning
to
consider
you
know
what
uses
would
be
best
in
in
working
with
the
public.
What
uses
would
be
best
for
this
park
land?
Because
I
think
this
is
currently
configured.
It's
not
really
the
best,
but
I'd
like
to
have
some
deep
and
public
engagement
on
a
project
like
that.
B
Excellent
and
fandom
asks
what
are
the
metrics
for
success
for
priorities
like
equity,
so
earlier
on
a
slide
that
pete
had
showed
there's
kind
of
eight
categories
that
we
score
against
as
part
of
the
capital
program
facilitation
committee.
Those
are
dictated
by
code,
so
those
don't
address
equity
explicitly.
But
on
the
front
end,
the
mayor's
office
is
the
as
part
of
the
mayor's
priorities,
the
things
that
are
supposed
to
kind
of
inspire
the
department,
directors
and
and
council
offices
to
submit
proposals.
Those
equity
really
plays
a
huge
role.
B
So
we've
seen
a
lot
of
kind
of
conversations
about
how
to
address
that
and
we've
gotten,
I
think,
a
lot
more
systematic
with
the
help
of
city
planning
and
dpw
and
how
we
address
equities
based
on
their
current
status,
so
whether
it's
the
2013
open
space
plan
that
that
mardi
reference
that
really
gave
us
kind
of
the
lay
of
land
for
public
parks
or
if
it's
you
know
the
steps
survey
that
we
did
two
years
ago
last
year
with
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
we're
able
to
take
that
information
and
put
it
into
an
asset
system.
B
The
dpw
runs
called
cartograph
that
allows
us
to
see
kind
of
all
the
conditions
of
all
the
assets
in
the
same
class
and
that
helps
us
to
be
able
to
prioritize
the
the
most
degraded.
You
know
street
segments,
the
playgrounds
that
have
gone
the
longest
without
a
major
renovation.
So
that's
kind
of
how
we've
been
tackling
equity
in
that.
D
B
If
you
have
any
more
just
feel
free
to
type
them
in
just
want
to
kind
of
give
you
a
sneak,
peek
we'll
be
showing
you
the
actual
website,
but
our
biggest
point
of
engagement
with
the
public
for
scoring
these
projects
is
the
survey
responses
that
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
do.
Each
year
we
do
a
survey
each
year
we
try
to
kind
of
window
it
down
to
the
things
that
people
really
care
about.
It's
designed
to
be,
you
know
five
minutes
max.
We
we
know
people
have
specific
ideas
like
the
amazing
list.
B
We
just
got
from
barbara
in
terms
of
the
asset
improvements
that
we
need,
so
it
starts
with
an
opportunity
for
you
to
just
describe
exactly
what
you
want
to
see
happen
if
it's
a
specific
upgrade
to
a
parker
playground.
You
can
put
that
in
here
there's
room
for
multiple
specific
project
ideas
and
then
we
also
kind
of
want
to
know
overall
not
even
specific,
to
a
location,
but
just
overall.
What
do
you
really
prioritize
in
terms
of
these
major
projects?
B
The
buckets
of
funding
that
you
want
to
see
increase
within
the
city
budget
and
then
each
year
we
do
ask
for
your
feedback
on
the
mayor's
priorities.
It
creates
kind
of
a
nice
feedback
loop
to
the
administration,
so
they
can
kind
of
understand
how
their
priorities
are
matching
up
with
the
citizens
at
large.
B
When
we
get
the
survey
responses
our
office,
the
office
of
management
budget
goes
through
and
tries
to
tag
an
existing
project
type
to
the
response
that
was
given.
We
also
tried
to
do
geographic
tagging
if
there's
a
specific
location
given,
so
that
the
council
district
office
can
take
the
results,
and
you
know
if
I'm
find
emily
and
I'm
working
for
district
8,
I
can
just
sort
the
entire
sheet
by
district
date
see
what
was
in
my
district
request
and
then
district
8
council
member
strasbourg
can
submit
proposals
that
way.
B
It
works
kind
of
similar
for
the
departments
they're
able
to
filter
the
sheet
that
we
give
them
for
their
department
or
their
specific
project
type.
And
then
you
can
see
an
example
here
of
how
input
from
the
public
just
led
directly
to
a
2021
capital
budget
deliverable
and
that's
exactly
the
point
of
this
process.
So
we
appreciate
this
kind
of
input.
It
really
really
does
help
the
departments
and
council
districts
figure
out
what
to
propose
for
the
next
year's
budget
each
year.
We
also
kind
of
do
this
check.
B
The
budget
is
comprised
of
six
different
types
of
projects.
They're
split
up
into
these
categories.
You
can
see
on
screen,
and
so
each
year
we
try
to
do
a
comparison
of
what
did
we
actually
fund
by
dollar
amount
and
then
what
was
actually
requested
in
the
survey
and
the
other
input
that
we
got
and
just
as
kind
of
a
temperature
check
to
see
how
far
off
we
were,
you
can
see
some
things
line
up
pretty
well.
Engineering
and
construction
is
a
lot
of
the
dpw
projects.
B
It's
a
lot
of
the
department
of
mobility
infrastructure
projects,
the
big
built
environment,
stuff
that
a
lot
of
people
are
aware
of.
I
think
we
prioritize
those
well
as
pete
referenced,
some
of
the
things
that
don't
don't
have
as
much
visibility
with
the
public
like
vehicles,
administration
and
sub
award,
those
understandably
kind
of
don't
get
represented
as
well
in
the
survey
responses,
but
they're
still
critical
parts
of
the
budget.
So
we
try
to
make
sure
that
those
are
included
as
well.
B
B
I'm
always
really
impressed
with
that
tool.
You
can
always
tweet
at
3-1-1
or
call
3-1-1.
If
you
have
a
specific
concern,
the
broken
you
know,
playground
equipment
that
was
described
earlier.
That's
a
great
thing
for
3-1-1
to
hear
about
they're,
really
efficient
at
funneling
those
requests
to
the
right
department.
B
We
have
our
council
budget
office
on
the
call
tonight
as
well.
You
can
always
reach
out
to
them.
With
your
specific
input,
you
can
email
us
at
city
of
pittsburgh.
I'm
sorry,
cip
for
capital
improvement
plan
at
pittsburghpa.gov,
and
I
encourage
you
to
keep
engagement
with
your
council
budget
office.
Council
may
be
your
best
advocate
for
the
type
of
project
that
you
want.
B
There's
really
hard-working
staffers
who
go
through
in
great
detail
all
of
the
the
calls
and
emails
the
council
offices
get
and
they
sort
them
and
elevate
them
to
the
to
the
elected
council
members
to
help
that
conversation
be
as
well
informed
as
possible,
and
then
we're
also
going
to
talk
about
balancing
act
in
just
a
little
bit.
So
I'm
going
to
get
on
a
website
to
show
you
engage
pgh
as
a
wrap
up.
B
So
it's
just
engaged
pittsburgh
pa.gov,
it's
a
great
tool
that
again
city
planning
and
the
office
of
community
affairs
has
put
together.
You
can
check
out
all
different
types
of
projects,
not
just
for
capital
projects,
but
there
are
some
really
nice
major
capital
projects
in
here
as
well.
Some
some
planning
efforts,
some
specific
construction
projects
too
tonight
I
can
show
you
what's
going
on
for
both
the
capital
and
operating
budgets
for
a
2022
development.
We
have
calendar
on
the
right
hand.
B
Side
we
are
right
about
here,
feel
free
to
come
back
next
week,
we're
going
to
be
talking
on
tuesday
about
a
lot
of
our
kind
of
ura
projects.
Community
development
block
grant
funded
projects
and
then
the
next
day,
there's
going
to
be
an
operating
budget
forum
that
you're
more
than
welcome
to
come
to.
B
In
addition,
there's
some
other
tools
you
can.
You
can
work
through.
One
of
my
favorites
is
balancing
act,
which
is
a
simulator
that
allows
you
to
kind
of
do
our
job
and
rebalance
the
budget
any
way
that
you
want.
You
can
go
through
and
add
and
subtract
funding
between
different
projects.
So
if
you
want
more
affordable
housing,
you
can
do
that,
but
it
won't
let
you
submit
until
you've
actually
balanced
your
budget.
So
if
you
want
to,
you
know,
give
us
a
surplus
and
trim
some
things.
B
That
would
be
great,
but
we
take
all
the
information
that
comes
through
as
pluses
and
minuses.
You
also
have
the
opportunity
to
make
a
specific
comment
about
any
of
the
projects
represented
here
and
we
review
those
as
well
and
share
those
similar
to
the
survey
results
with
the
departments
in
council
budget
offices.
B
This
has
been
a
great
tool.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
have
been
able
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
what
the
budget
looks
like
overall,
using
this
and
this
right
now
what's
live
on
the
website
is
the
2021
adopted
budget.
So
if
you
want
to
get
a
sense
of
what's
already
in
there,
you
can
check
that
out
as
well
and
then
additionally,
just
to
wrap
up
at
the
bottom.
Here
is
the
actual
capital
budget
survey.
B
It's
meant
to
be
short,
brief,
easy
for
you
to
fill
out
and
then
at
the
very
end,
we
just
try
to
get
some
demographic
information
to
make
sure
that
we're
reaching
residents
that
look
like
our
residents,
that's
proportional
to
the
people
who
live
here.
You
can
also
check
out
your
council
district
office
using
that
link
if
you're
not
familiar,
there's
some
really
cool
maps
on
the
city
planning
website
I
like
to
go
to
the
digital
map
room
a
lot,
there's
some
fun
stuff
on
there.
You
can
check
out
just
gonna.
B
All
right,
so
nina
said.
We
hope
that
the
steps
in
garfield
can
be
repaired
and
coordinated
with
fort
pitt
park
renovations.
If
that
can
be
budgeted,
I
will
say,
is
part
of
the
budget
office,
one
of
my
pet
peeves,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it's
completely
understandable.
It's
right
thing
to
do
is
when
the
projects
can
kind
of
morph
and
change
and
get
bigger,
because
that's
just
the
community
need.
B
I
tend
to
look
at
things
as
individual
assets,
but
when
chris
and
ross
and
martin
are
out
in
the
real
world,
there's
they're
touring
paulson
spray
park,
a
new
asset,
we're
excited
about
and
realizing
the
ball
field
also
needs
upgraded,
and
so
that's
a
great
opportunity
for
them
to
kind
of
look
holistically
at
the
site
and
to
make
recommendations
and
changes
to
the
budget,
if
necessary,
to
make
sure
that
this
it's
a
comprehensive
upgrade.
That
makes
sense
we
wouldn't
want
to
put
in
new
infrastructure
that's
inaccessible
because
the
steps
are
broken.
B
B
Okay,
well,
I'm
hoping
that
everybody
here
can
share
the
survey
as
well.
It's
a
really
excellent
way
to
get
your
voice
in
the
process.
Share
it
on
your
social
media.
Send
it
to.
I
know,
there's
some
really
active
cdc
folks
on
the
call,
please
feel
free
to
share
the
survey
that
way,
it's
a
quick
way
for
you
to
give
us
information
that
we
can
use,
for
you
know,
projects
for
the
next
five
or
six
years.
B
It's
really
important,
so
anything
you
can
do
to
share
the
word
on
the
survey
or
the
upcoming
meetings
would
be
greatly
greatly
appreciated
to
close
out.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
to
ross
and
marty
and
chris
for
explaining
their
world
to
us.
I
want
to
say
thanks
to
jim
and
heather,
as
our
asl
interpreters
tonight,
thanks
to
the
office
of
community
affairs,
for
for
putting
together
these
meetings
and
doing
so
much
work
and
promotion.
