A
concern
Ultra
in
fact
of
this
Pittsburgh
City
Council,
but
a
conundrum,
is
the
vote.
There's
a
deep
appreciation,
for
rightly
so,
for
the
vote,
but
there's
a
con
involved
and
I
think
it's
extremely
serious.
D
Any
U.S
citizen
can
check
a
bank
money
deposit,
but
no
citizen
can
check
Bonafide
vote
deposit.
It
just
disappears.
D
I
want
every
citizen
to
be
in
control
of
her
or
his
vote.
Many
of
you
have
asked
me
what
I
mean
by
vote
by
voter
verification
vote
by
voter
verification.
Copyright
rlm
is.
It
means
individual
control
in
an
Institutional,
neighborhood
context
and
I
think
it
will
end
the
con.
D
So
first
we
need
to
establish
an
elected
neighborhood
institutional
context
for
an
individual
to
control
his
or
her
vote,
not
people
who
just
nominate
themselves
and
write
letters
and
send
emails
to
people,
but
we
need
to
elect
neighborhood
councils
and
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
referendum.
I'll,
sponsor
that
in
2023
for
neighborhood
councils,
three
members,
a
neighborhood
of
those
supervisory
boards-
also
three
members,
we
recommend-
and
secondly,
we
need
to
establish
neighborhood
vote
practices
that
don't
depend
upon
the
wards
that
are
separate
from
the
wars.
D
I
know
that
is
really
complicated
for
a
lot
of
people
to
try
to
deal
with,
but
I
think
we
need
something
parallel
on
something
that
is
new.
So
the
primary
vote
is
the
paper
ballot,
Inc
signature.
We
recommend
and
the
vote
in
person
should
be
thrown
out.
I
mean
vote
by
mail
should
be
thrown
out
all
vote
in
person
and
the
people
should
be
able
to
vote
only
on
Election
Day.
You
know
not
early
voting,
and
that
means
eventually
that
there
is
encryption.
I'll
continue
this
next
week.
F
My
name
is
Stephen
Albert
I
live
at
6702
Beacon
Street
in
Squirrel
Hill,
which
is
in
District
Five
I'm,
here
to
share
the
overwhelming
voice
of
my
neighbors,
who
oppose
domi's
current
plans
for
the
South
Dallas
Forbes
Avenue,
Beechwood,
Boulevard,
safe
connections
project.
This
project
will
make
significant
changes
to
our
neighborhood
streets
and
will
make
them
less
safe.
Domi
has
held
two
poorly
publicized
meetings
on
the
project,
which
is
on
a
fast
track
to
be
completed
in
coordination
with
the
reopening
of
the
new
Fern
Hollow
Bridge.
F
Many,
the
mayor's
listening
session
in
August
offered
optimistic
comments
and
suggestions
to
address
long-standing
Public
Safety
problems
with
the
complex
series
of
intersections
in
the
project
area
at
the
October
public
meeting
Domi,
dismissed
resonance
priorities
and
instead
presented
that
the
best
they
could
do
was
a
quick
build
project
to
connect
the
bike
Lanes
from
the
new
bridge
with
Squirrel
Hill's
existing
bike
lanes.
While
this
is
an
important
task,
my
neighbors
and
I
demand
that
improvements
to
safety
of
all
of
these
intersections
be
made
before
adding
more
layers
of
traffic
to
the
mix.
F
Our
petition
requests
two
things:
domi's
project
team
should
meet
with
residents
on
site
so
that
we
can
demonstrate
the
safety
challenges
that
we
face
each
day.
They
should
also
pause
the
current
project
to
reevaluate
it
after
the
Fern
Hollow
Bridge
reopens
and
after
a
new
traffic
study
can
be
conducted
over
400
of
my
neighbors
have
signed
this
petition
in
a
week,
they're
speaking,
but
is
the
city
listening
when
signing
the
petition,
Mitchell
dernis
said
this
plan
only
makes
support
design
worse.
F
It
does
nothing
to
improve
safety
for
bicyclists
or
pedestrians,
Crossing
Beachwood
Boulevard,
and
it
does
nothing
to
clear
up
the
confusion
for
drivers
unfamiliar
with
this
intersection.
John
Tucker
said
what
they're
doing
is
idiotic
and
will
result
in
more
accidents
and
Lori.
Sobel
said
this
plan
will
cause
more
traffic
problems
and
they're
right.
These
streets
handle
local
commuter
traffic
in
a
vital
Corridor,
connecting
Squirrel
Hill
to
Point,
Breeze
region
square
and
Oakland
and
Beyond.
F
According
to
the
city's
own
traffic
data
from
2017
to
2021,
there
have
been
40
crashes,
including
three,
that
involved
pedestrians
and
up
to
24
injuries.
This
period
includes
the
pandemic
when
traffic
decreased
dramatically,
so
it
could
have
been
a
lot
worse,
we're
willing
and
eager
to
collaborate
with
Domi
and
the
city
on
sensible,
comprehensive
Solutions.
We
don't
want
the
success
of
the
Fern
Hollow
bridge
to
lead
to
tragedy.
On
the
other
side,
the
success
of
the
rebuilding
of
the
bridge,
I
should
say.
Thank
you
to
council
president
kale
Smith
for
your
willingness
to
help.
F
A
We
must
okay,
so
that
exhausts
our
list
of
registered
speakers.
Anyone
else
wishing
to
speak
please
come
forward,
provide
your
name
and
neighborhood
for
the
record.
You'll
be
given
three
minutes.
G
My
name
is
Javon:
that's
from
I
live
at
715
Mercer
Street
in
the
Hill
district
I
want
to
explain
something.
Yesterday,
that's
why
I
was
so
weeping
and
crying.
You
know,
I'm
a
strong
woman
and
you
don't
usually
see
me
cry,
but
when
you're
giving
sapala
a
proclamation
when,
as
when
my
son
died-
and
he
had
came
in
here-
he
and
I
brought
it
to
his
attention.
I
said
Mississippi
when
you
got
two
proclamations
that
year
and
I
came
to
you
and
said
about
my
son.
G
Five
white
cops
in
Wilkinsburg
left
him
on
the
floor,
he's
saying:
if
I
could
breathe
every
time,
I
hear
them
other
men
that
the
police
killed
when
he
killed
Floyd.
This
was
what
my
son
was
saying.
If
only
I
could
breathe,
okay,
they
take
and
he
comes
down
the
steps
and
he
says
he
got
the
best
of
me
and
his
utterance
was
but
I
see.
My
son
was
blind
in
one
eye.
He
came
to
the
house
where
his
woman
lived.
He
was
moved
her
in
there
and
there
was
another
man
that
knocked
my
son
out.
G
When
I
talk
about
it,
I
do
get
a
little
confused
because
it
hurts
me
to
know
that
my
son
knew
he
was
going
to
die
if
they
left
him
on
the
floor.
They
left
them
on
the
floor.
The
man
came
back
and
kicked
my
son
to
get
death
when
they
called
the
the
paramedics
and
the
police
came,
they
said
he's
dead,
the
paramedics
had
to
promise
they
had
to
insist
to
work
on
my
son.
There
was
five
different
stories
from
each
policeman.
Five
and
the
only
thing
my
son
was
saying
at
that
time
was
no.
G
No,
no,
then
you
have
them
where
they
were
saying
you
want
to
go
to
the
hospital
you
want
to
go
to
hospital,
they
I
mean
and
it's
like
50
times,
and
my
son
was
saying
no.
He
was
saying
no
because
that's
when
he
came
down
the
step
saying
no,
when
he
was
21,
he
got
stabbed
in
his
back.
The
man
stabbed
him
punched,
his
calling
punctured
his
and
testing
and
cut
his
liver
in
half.
Now,
when
I
go
to
the
hospital,
the
doctor
was
telling
me
he
told
my
husband.
G
This
man
was
a
better
surgeon
to
me,
but
when
he
stabbed
my
son,
my
son
said
he
stabbed
me.
It
was
in
the
restaurant.
A
whole
lot
of
people
was
in,
they
said.
Oh
you,
a
punk,
and
he
didn't
like
that.
He
said:
Mommy
I
showed
them
the
blood
he
said,
but
I
could
feel
if
I
didn't
get
to
the
hospital
I
was
going
to
die.
My
son
grabbed
both
of
his
back
and
started
running
down.
Fifth
Avenue.
The
paramedics
had
to
catch
up
with
him.
They
had
to
catch
him.
I
said
wanted
to
live.
G
G
H
C
Hills
little
swirly
things,
deer
crossing
all
signs,
we
see
in
our
Pennsylvania
mountains.
If
you
take
any
trips
issue,
we
have
those
same
road
conditions
and
beach
view.

up
through

to
get
to
my
daughters
in
West

been

with

Merchants.
We
have
these
wonderful
restaurants.
We
got
the
taco
stand.
We
got
Las
Palmas.
We
got

Eagle.
This!
Isn't
that
what
it's
called
the
kids
call
it
the
Jamaican
store,
but
the
delivery
truck
drivers-
Google
GPS,
doesn't
tell
them.
C
Yesterday,
on
my
way
in
a
big
rig,
I'm
talking,
big
rig,
Jack
breaking
big
rig
came
up
Coast,
where
we
needed
to
be
one
way
only
going
down
with
a
weight
limit
put
on
his
brakes
and
the
force
opened
his
back
door
and
Bricks
came
out
all
over
on
that
Steep
Hill
thank
God.
There
was
not
another
car
behind
him.
C
How
do
I
know
about
these
steep
hills
between
being
a
intake
coordinator,
paralegal
victims
advocate
this
that,
and
rather
for
15
years,
I
drove
a
big
bus
to
the
state
and
federal
prisons.
I
drove
the
loved
ones
that
was
my
cargo
I
went
up.
Those
steep
mountainous
areas
and
I
picked
up
little
kids
to
take
them
to
Graterford,
to
Camp
Hill
to
every
single
state
and
federal
prison
I
have
been
to
during
those
15
years.
C
We
need
to
get
together.
We
need
to
have
a
meeting
with
people
who
have
a
CDL.
We
need
to
get
together
with
the
community
that
sees
these
big
rigs
and
even
straight
trucks
that
are
caught
up
coming
up
following
GPS
and
it's
not
safe.
It
is
not
safe
at
all.
The
only
safe
route,
West
Liberty
Pauline
to
Broadway
and
I
speak
on
that
on
experience.
Please,
before
the
next
load
breaks
open
and
someone
is
killed.

B
K
Yes,
thank
you.
Mr,
chair
I,
just
wondered
if
I
could
get
a
breakdown
as
to
where
that
196
is
coming
from
as
far
as
a
flood
control,
what
projects
or
was
it
earmarked
for
any
certain
projects?
Does
anybody
who
can
answer
that
for
me.
K
E
Officer
management
and
budget,
so
these
this
funding
shift
is
for
some
emergency
Landslide
invoices
that
Domi
has
already
received
and
had
to
react
to
the
breakdown
would
be
Hamburg,
Woodruff,
Arlington.
K
K
K
That
information,
okay,
okay,
because
I
unfortunately
I
have
both
plenty
of
both.
You
know
so.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
know
it's
year
by
year,
some
years
we
got
extensive
flooding
some
years.
You
know
we
luck
out,
but
it's
been
an
ongoing
problem
in
the
district.
Four
neighborhoods
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
none
of
that
money
was
being
transferred
out
of
flood
control
projects
for
D4.
So
if
you
could
look
into
that
for
me,
okay,
before
Tuesday
it'd
be
great.
J
You
chair,
hi,
Patrick,
how's
it
going
thanks
for
slowing
down.
You
know
the
process
here,
so
the
the
original
you
know
what's
being
reduced
here,
the
flood
control.
What
I
mean?
What's
the
idea
of
those
projects,
because
I
heard
like
ayton
Street,.
E
E
J
Okay
and
then
what
is
there
and
I?
Is
it
categorized?
Yet
what
slow
I
mean?
It's
not
that
much
money
for
a
slope.
Failure,
remediation,
correct.
E
These
are,
why
is
there
just
a
little
bit
of
money,
so
these
are
projects
that
have
actual
outstanding
invoices
to
be
paid.
You
know
the
work
has
already
started
for
this
group
and
not
that's
all
in
the
fiscal
impact
statement.

I
mean
I'll
find
out
afterwards,
it's
just
it's
just
it's
an
odd
place
and
I
think
it's
an
odd
strike
when
I
understand
so.
Oh,
it's
an
odd
situation.
I
think
the
building's
subdivide,
the
condos
and
so

just
I
I'm,

already
in
accordance
with
what
we
understand
of
the
historic
character
of
the
building,
so
this
wouldn't
have
any
impact
on
us.
So
it's
our
building,
correct.
N
L
Don't
I,
don't
remember,
I'm,
just
I
just
got
this.
It's
just
odd!
That's!
Oh!
It's
just
odd
I
think
well,
I'll
leave
it
alone.
This
this
process
is
broken.
This
nomination
process
is
absolutely
broken.
This
is
just
another
example
of
how
broken
this
is,
and
we
need
to
fix
this
right
when
we
have
random
people
walking
down
the
street
nominating
buildings
for
random
reasons,
we
need
to
fix
this
and
I
I
keep
saying
I'm
gonna.
You
know
I'll
work
with
Mr
Cargill
and
let's
figure
this
out,
because
this.
M
L
L
K
I
agree
with
you:
100
Reverend
I
think
we
should
entertain
having
a
post
agenda
and,
having
you
know,.
K
Review
commission
here
and
see
how
they
go
about
their
process.
Who,
who
is
able
I
mean
I,
guess
anybody
is
able
to
nominate
any
structure
which
is
kind
of
absurd
to
me?
But
but
anyway,
yeah
director,
hornstein
I,
didn't
know.
If
you
had
the
answers
to
these
questions,
I
really
wanted
to
check
on
the
progress
of
the
building.
K
Is
that
in
your
purview
or
okay,
so
I
know
we
have
one
agency
in
there
already
at
least
right?
Is
it
the
uras
in
there
correct.
N
And
City
Planning
and
it's
a
few
other
scattered
functions
throughout
the
city,
gotcha
current
price.
You
know
current
progress
on
that
project.
Is
we
just
received
bids
back
for
the
construction
of
city-owned
space
as
well
as
common
space
in
the
building,
so
we're
going
through
that
Contracting
process?
Now
you
know
we
expect
that
to
be
completed,
I
believe
very
soon.
N
You
know
mid
to
end
of
November
I'm,
at
which
point
in
time
we're
going
to
go
right
into
Construction.
The
Housing
Authority
in
their
Suites
are
currently
under
construction,
so
our
anticipated
occupancy
date
is
right.
Now
we're
projecting
it
as
sometime
next
summer
and.
N
N
I
I
You
director
Feinstein,
thank
you
for
being
here,
I'm
curious,
since
we
are
talking
about
the
progress
of
the
building,
how
is
it
working
with
the
contract
that
we
gave
for
building
management?
I
In
my
recollection,
that
was
at
least
150
000
a
year
I
believe
we
gave
it
a
400,
000
I
think
it
was
less
than
15
years.
It
feels
like
it
was
like
a
400
000
contract
or
300
000
contract
over
four
years.
I.
Just
can't
remember,
can
you
help
me
with
that.
N
Yeah
absolutely
I
mean
we
have
a
there's
a
building
manager
there.
They
are,
you
know,
on
site,
providing
security
cleaning
the
other
services
that
we
contract
them
for
the
basic
building,
Management
Services.
I
N
You
know
honestly
councilwoman
I,
don't
have
those
details
at
my
fingertips,
but
I.
Certainly
I
can
follow
up
with
you
and
provide
that.
I
Well,
I
think
Council
voted
on
it,
so
I
guess
I
can
look
it
up
and
register
here,
but
I
do
think
it
was
in
the
ballpark
of
so
300
000
contract
or
something
like
that
that
counts
about
it
on
and
so,
and
how
much
has
that
been
going
on?
How
long
have
we
had
the
building
under
our
control.
N
The
building
has
been
under
our
control
for
a
property
manager.
N
I
would
again
I
have
to
check
my
records,
but
I
believe
that
we
executed
that
contract
with
the
other
agencies
in
December
January
time
frame
of
2020
2021.
I
N
I
I
I
Thank
you,
so
that's
four
years
and
we
have
been
paying
a
building
manager
for
more
than
two
years,
almost
three
years
and
and
so
these
are
significant
costs
and
we
only
have
one
agency
in
the
building
so
we're
using
the
quarter
of
the
building.
I
And
it
was
a
I'm,
just
gonna
remind
the
record
in
the
public
that
it's
a
40
million
dollar
bond,
that
Council
approved
and
myself
I
voted
now
and
I.
Think
councilman
O'connor
would
have
known
the
borrowing
because
it
looked
like
we
were
overpaying
for
downtown
real
estate
and
a
lot
of
sympathize
with
employees.
We'd
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
safe
and
secure
working
conditions
for
our
employees,
and
there
was
a
significant
difference
in
opinion
of
whether
purchasing
or
brand
new
building,
Class
A
downtown
building
was
really
the
right.
I
I
Amending
resolution
342
of
2019
that
authorized
B
and
what
would
work
to
do.
Professional
Services
agreement
with
Oxford
development
company
to
service
property
manager
for
412
Boulevard
of
the
Allies
to
add
money
to
provide
additional
funds
for
management.
H
I
F
N
Certainly,
the
capital
repairs
were
for
some
water
infiltration
that
were
in
the
basement,
as
well
as
water
infiltration,
any
Elevator
Shaft
of
the
building.
So
those
repairs
were
to
address
those
situations
normal.
What
we
would
consider
you
know
in
line
with
normal
property
ownership,
the
other
expenditures
would
have
been
related
are
related
to
the
contract
for
the
property
management
company
to
provide
their
on-site
services.
I
So
we're
significantly
behind
schedule.
A
lot
of
projects
have
significantly
behind
schedule,
given
that
we
entered
a
pandemic
and
we
know
what
that's
like
with
both
labor
and
just
you
know,
executed
contracts
and
Supply
chains
and
those
kinds
of
things.
That's
where
it's
understandable
having
a
building
that
has
water
issues
that
we
paid
kind
of
top
dollar
for
is
a
little
more
concerning
to
me
and
also
I
I.
Don't
I!
I
Don't
need
you
to
answer
today,
but
I
do
think
that
we
should
be
having
a
conversation
soon
about
how
much
outlay
each
of
the
condo
participants
has
made
so
far
into
the
building
right,
so
that
you
know
we're
looking
right
now
at
the
cost
that
we
put
in.
But
there
are
also
there's
a
tri-party
agreement,
so
our
city
of
Pittsburgh
are
going
to
be
Development.
I
I
To
speak
to
that
today
and
I
will
certainly
be
supportive
of
the
nomination
here
and
we're
looking
forward
to
hearing
that
testimony,
but
I
do
have
outstanding
questions,
and
so
I
do
think.
This
Council
should
be
looking
for
answers
to.
K
Director,
what's
the
status
of
Ross
Street,
are
we
selling
it?
Is
it.
N
N
We
activate
some
other
spaces
for
them
for
the
winter
season,
yeah.
I
Yes,
thank
you
I
I,
just
this
council
is
the
only
body
that
can
decide
to
sell
anything
and
if
there
was
never,
in
my
recollection,
a
discussion
at
this
table
about
17
to
cross
street.
I
So
there
is
no
plan
to
sell
to
undergrad
Street
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
correct
the
record
there
and
I
certainly
am
not
in
favor
of
the
city
to
selling
out
its
assets,
just
because
there
are
buyers
for
them.
We
hold
our
properties
for
public
use
and
I
would
I
think
the
public
deserves
a
fulsome
discussion
about
what
uses
might
be
for
a
building
downtown.
Excuse
me
downtown.
I
Excuse
me
not
today,
because
I
have
a
bit
of
a
cough,
so
I
look
forward
to
that
discussion,
where
we
can
have
all
of
the
same
facts
on
the
table
and
we
can
be
transparent
about
the
discussion
of
200
Broad
Street
and
you
can
be
accountable
to
the
people
for
that
discussion.
So,
thank
you.
That's
all
I
needed
to
say.
A
M
Thank
you,
director,
I
know
that
you,
you
know
that
this
has
been
an
issue
for
me
for
a
very
long
time
that
we
keep
going
back
and
forth
over
permits
for
the
athletic
associations
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
They
do
a
tremendous
job.
Your
Crews
do
a
tremendous
job.
We
appreciate
all
the
work
that
is
being
done
by
DPW
there's
one
area
where
I
struggle
and
it
is
the
permit
area.
M
We
have.
You
know
the
big
there's
a
huge
issue
with
the
Dynamo
Squirtle
low
dynamos
right
now
and
I
want
to
thank
mayor
gainey's
office.
They
are
scheduling
a
meeting
I
think
we
have
it
confirmed
to
address
their
permitting
issue,
but
the
bottom
line
is
a
lot
of
these
associations
during
covid,
and
one
of
the
reasons
we
wanted
grants
for
the
athletic
associations
is
during
covid.
M
They
were
struggling
and
trying
to
get
kids
uniforms
and
trophies
and
make
it
as
if
things
didn't
change
so
dramatically
for
kids,
so
I
appreciate
what
they
do
and
I
know
what
they
do.
I
ran
at
Westwood
Oakwood,
athletic
association
with
my
husband
and
other
people
for
about
20
25
years,
and
they
do
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
M
Some
of
your
Crews
run
the
associations,
but
then
it
came
up
an
issue
with
the
squirrel
little
dynamos,
which
I
believe
has
around
900
members
families,
and
there
was
an
an
association
I
believe
it
might
be
there
in
your
District,
a
flag
football
league
that
needed
to
use
the
field
and
instead
of
trying
us
all
trying
to
figure
out
okay.
How
can
we
do
this?
I
know
that
you've
had
some
meetings.
M
So
kids
aren't
being
pulled
off
a
field
to
accommodate
another
kid
or
to
accommodate
an
adult
that
wants
to
use
a
field
and
I
think
we
also
I've
said
this
gazillion
times
we
want
to
build
a
and
you
can
chime
in
I
know
you
I
know
you
have
some
opinions
about
this
too
I
don't
want
I,
don't
want
you
to
feel
like
you
have
to
just
listen
to
me.
Pontificate
about
this,
but
but
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
I
have
said
numerous
times.
M
We
need
an
adult
facility
as
well
a
place
where
adults
can
go
and
if
they
want
to
play
baseball,
throw
dard's
ax,
throwing
what
other,
whatever
they
do
in
a
facility.
Other
cities,
major
cities
and
cities
similar
to
ours,
have
significant
places
for
young
adults
to
have
record
to
recreate
as
well.
M
I
think
at
the
time
it
was
Big,
League
or
something
he
wanted
to.
You
know:
stop
they
packed
this
Chambers
and
out
in
the
hallway
and
down
in
the
Portico.
They
were
all
over
the
place
and
they
I'm
telling
you.
They
are
well
oiled,
well
organized
machine
because
they
all
work
together.
They
play
against
one
another.
They
can
they.
M
They
know
how
there's
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
better
way
to
organize
across
the
city
than
with
the
athletic
associations
if
they
need
to
get
people
out,
they're
going
to
get
people
out,
and
so
we've
already
received
I
think
over
300
emails
about
this
permit
situation
with
the
dynamos
and
I.
Don't
we
don't
want
to
see
anybody
not
have
a
great
field?
We
want
to
see.
Everybody
have
great
Fields,
so
I
want
to
be
clear
about
that.
But
it's.
M
How
do
we
get
to
a
place
where
we're
not
pitting
one
against
the
other
and
so
and
know
you're?
It's
a
challenge
for
you
and
a
challenge
for
your
department,
but
I
also
think
that
it's
not
I
also
feel
like
the
the
athletic
associations
have
not
been
a
significant
priority
or
significant
enough
through
every
throughout
the
years,
since
I've
been
involved
in
them,
but
I
do
know
you
have
at
least
you
know
a
meeting
with
them,
but
I
think
we
should
have
meetings
every
year.
M
I
can
talk
a
lot
about
it
because
I
did
run
an
association.
I
know
a
lot
about
it.
Councilman
Calgary
runs
an
association.
He
knows
a
lot
about
it,
but
it's
we're
going
to
defend
our
athletic
associations.
That's
all
I
want
to
say,
but
I'll
turn
it
over
to
other
members.
I
know
they
have
a
lot
to
say.
I
I
I
believe
we
should
be
doing
more
as
well.
We
said
this
in
other
kinds
of
discussions
about
supporting
athletic
leads.
We
have
too
much
demand
more
demand
than
we
can
satisfy
at
our
facilities
and
getting
our
recreational
facilities
for
our
citizens.
We
know
has
so
many
positive
repercussions
and
we
we
struggle
with
issues
about
how
to
create
Healthy
Families,
helping
people
healthy,
kids,
Healthy
Communities
at
this
table,
and
this
is
what
are
the
answer
so.
A
I
More
and
I
compare
with
councilman
Smith,
especially
to
rectangular
Fields.
We've
known
this
has
been
coming
for
a
very
long
time.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
conversations
I
had
with
the
previous
director
at
DPW
about
locating
another
rectangular
field,
at
least
one,
and
he
was
trying
desperately
to
put
one
in
district
7
to
satisfy
these
competing
demands,
demands
for
kids,
sports
athletic
teams
and
for
adult
sports
there's
an
unused
Ura
site,
councilman
Lavelle
at
62nd
Street,
which
is
twice
as
big
as
we
would
need
to
create
an
athletic
rectangular
field.
I
I've
been
feeling
about
four
acres,
maybe
George
hornstein
does
better
than
I
do
and
it's
an
eight
Acre
Site,
and
so
that
would
be
located.
You
know
easily
accessible
to
other
parts
of
the
city
because
of
Highways
and
things
like
that
right
on
the
riverfront,
it's
hard
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh.
I
Let's
just
acknowledge
it's
hard
to
see
if
it's
defined
a
three
or
four
acre
level
site,
which
is
I,
think
we've
done
a
little
research,
but
you
need
for
a
rectangular
field,
especially
so
I'm,
supportive
of
upgrading
our
athletic
fields,
as
well
as
the
baseball
diamonds,
and
things
like
that
and
so
I
just
I
am
happy
to
support
the
effort
anyway
possible.
Madam
president.
Thank
you.
Mr,
chair.
K
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
Madam
president
I
want
to
commend
you
for
all
your
actions
you're
taking
on
in
the
you
know,
little
league
associations,
whether
it
be
the
funding
that
we're
receiving
we
can
give
directly
to
them.
You
know
your
work
here
is
I
love
it.
So
you
know
it's
important
to
you.
I
know
you're
passionate
about
it
as
I
am
too
and
as
somebody
who's
played
on
these
fields
this
year,
actually
I
will
say
this
director.
K
They
do
a
very
good
job
at
taking
care
of
the
fields
and
I
love
the
direct
communication
they
have
with
the
coaches
and
the
permit
holders,
and
you
know
in
my
district
anyway,
I
can't
speak
for
every
District,
but
you
know
I'm
really
pleased
with
the
way
they
manicured
the
field.
I
felt
like
it
was
a
reflection
on
me
when
my
team
was
playing
there
and
they're.
You
know
if
the
grass
was
too
high
or
you
know
so,
so
no,
it
was
no
problems.
I
thought
the
fields
were
great.
K
My
question
is
this:
you
know
from
the
permits.
K
N
Yeah
I
mean
we,
we
do
not
charge
for
youth
permit.
So
those
those
youth
athletic
fields
are
free,
I
believe
on
the
permit
schedule.
It
says
50
cents,
but
we
haven't
enforced,
that
the
adult
we
do
ask
the
adult
permit
holders
to
charge
a
modest
fee,
I
believe
that
goes
back
to
the
general
fund.
K
Okay,
that's
all
so
we
there
is
no
Financial,
you
know
gain
for
us
from
permitting
the
fields
is
that
correct
youth
leagues
are
free,
which
is
great.
That
makes
sense,
but
to
adult
leagues
and
people.
C
K
J
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
president,
for
putting
this
legislation
forward.
I
know
we
were
talking
about
this
issue
for
a
little
bit
and
figure
out
what
to
do
so.
Thanks
for
stepping
up
and
putting
this
down
I,
you
know:
I
have
similar
issues
with
the
Riverview
Park
soccer
field,
specifically
the
permitting
of
that
field
and
unders,
and
that
led
to
understanding
more
of
the
scoring
system.
J
That's
in
place
internally
about
how
it's
being
scored
so
or
how
the
field
is
organized
with
the
permitting
so
that
it
it's
an
equitable
process
and
I
looked
at
the
kind
of
like
the
algorithm
and
it's
interesting
because
I
mean
hopefully,
hopefully
I'm
not
wrong,
and
remembering
this,
but
it
almost
it
looked
as
though
like
a
private
school
would
be
prioritized
before
a
neighborhood
group
like
a
like
a
community
league
and
specifically
the
old
Allegheny
soccer
league
is,
is
you
know
really
the
the
sticking
point
for
me
right
now,
because
you
know
that
if
that
group
didn't
exist
in
this
field,
would
have
never
been
created
in
the
first
place,
and
you
know
I.
J
Is
there
I'm
curious
enough
that,
like
if
we're
gonna
talk
about
it,
you
know
whether
or
not
the
feel
is
being
used
or
the
perming
process
is
equitable
I
mean
if
that
organization
is
Equitable
as
well
I
mean
that
should
say
something
too
like
if
they're
you
know
serving
the
whole
neighborhood,
the
greater
north
side.
J
You
know
I
think
that
counts
for
a
lot
more
points
and
just
the
just
the
mere
fact
that
they're,
you
know
the
organization
of
you
know
why
this
sport
became
more
popular
on
the
North
side,
so
I'm
definitely
interested
to
revisit
that
algorithm,
because
I've
I've
heard
of
a
few
different
cases
where
you
know
a
private
school
is
coming
over
from
a
different
part
of
the
city
and
using
that
field.
J
It's
a
great
field,
and
you
know
they're
just
wondering
how
they
can
get
more
field
time
and
not
have
to
feel
like
they're
being
kicked
off
the
field
for
a
private
school,
so
I'll
leave
it
that,
but
I'm
really
interested
to
see
how
we
can
rework
the
algorithm
so
that
we
can.
You
know
prioritize
groups,
you
know
if
they
are
serving
the
greater
part
of
the
community
and
you
know
their.
You
know
they're
meeting
all
the
goals
that
we
expect.
J
You
know
to
serve
all
the
people
at
Pittsburgh,
then
yeah
I
think
we
should
prioritize
them
as
well,
and
you
know
the
the
office
has
been
great.
Allison
body
has
been
great,
constant,
great
communication
with
the
organizations,
but
you
know
the
conversation
just
comes
back
to
well.
This
is
an
internal
policy
and
and
that's
what
we're
following
so
I'm
glad
we're
gonna.
J
You
know
this
resolution
kind
of
gets
to
that.
It's
for
you
to
investigate
that
and
and
report
backs.
So
with
that
said,
excuse
me
look
forward
to
hear
what
you
come
up
with
thanks.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
first
I
want
to
thank
again
council
president
for
initiating
this
conversation
and
bring
it
to
the
point
where
we
can
talk
about
it
at
a
standing
committee
meeting.
There
have
been
many
many
conversations
in
the
background
as
many
of
us
know,
but
to
bring
it
to
the
Public's
attention
as
well
that
we
are
having
these
conversations.
H
I
think
you
know,
I
haven't
done
a
Full
Count,
it's
probably
Beyond
200
emails,
we've
gotten
from
Dynamo
soccer,
Among
Us
at
a
DPW
and
Council
District,
two
and
eight
filling
in
for
for
District
Five
at
the
moment,
and
on
that
point,
I
really
want
to
thank
council
president
for
doing
taking
on
basically
three
roles
right
now
that
of
representing
her
District,
representing
Council
as
as
president
and
also
District
Five,
as
we're
waiting
for
a
new
council
member
to
be
elected.
H
It's
it's
been
a
lot
of
work
for
you,
I
recognize
that
in
many
late
nights
and
many
weekends.
So,
thank
you
for
that
not
only
on
this,
but
on
the
issue
we
heard
earlier
today
on
the
intersection
I,
we
we've
been,
we've
been
talking
a
lot
and
and
you've
been
doing
a
lot
of
listening
director.
Hornstein
I
wanted
to
give
you
first
an
opportunity
to
respond
or
address
anything
you've
heard
so
far
today.
N
Well,
thank
you
for
that.
I
think.
Well,
there's
a
lot
of
really
great
discussion
at
the
table,
so
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
for
raising
this
up,
because
I
think
from
my
perspective,
as
a
manager
of
the
system,
you
know
first
and
foremost,
I.
Thank
you
all
for
the
kind
words
for
our
crews,
both
out
in
the
field
and
in
the
office
that
support
these
amazing
organizations
every
single
day.
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
incredible
work
that
they
do
with
what
I
my
opinion.
N
You
know
sometimes
subpar
tools
and
equipment,
but
they
make
it
go
and
I
think
that
they
deserve
all
the
credit.
For
that
you
know
the
I
think
the
basic
fact
of
the
matter
is
is
that
we
have
more
people
that
want
to
use
our
athletic
facilities
than
we
have
athletic
facilities
to
use
and-
and
so
unfortunately,
that
creates
conflicts
that
we
have
to
have
a
process
to
try
to
resolve
and
that's
the
means
of
the
policy.
N
Now
we
updated
our
policy
last
year
for
the
first
time
in
many
years,
so
that
we
could
create
more
access
for
organizations
that
we
were
turning
away,
because
we
feel
that
you
know
every
single
hour
of
a
permitted
facility
is
is
precious
because
we
only
have
so
many,
and
so
with
that
change
is
going
to
come.
You
know
mistakes
and
learning
curve
and
we're
listening
and
we're
going
to
respond
to
those
in
in
a
a
new
update
to
the
policy
for
next
year.
N
That
will
govern
those
actions
next
year,
based
on
the
Dynamo
conversations,
so
we
can
make
that
more
Equitable
for
those
folks-
and
you
know
we're
always
welcoming
input
on
that.
We
share
that.
You
know
we
did
our
first
meeting
with
the
organizations.
Last
January
I
thought
it
was
a
great
success,
we're
going
to
continue
that
practice
for
them
we're
trying
to
craft
the
policy
so
that
it
works
for
everyone,
we're
not
perfect,
but
we're
trying
to
get
there.
N
You
know
that's
as
much
to
help
those
organizations
as
it
is
to
help
us
manage
it
because
I
mean
I,
know,
you've
all
mentioned
Allison
body
and
she
is
does
an
unbelievable.
Her
team
does
an
unbelievable,
fantastic
job
working
with
all
of
these
organizations
and
it's
it's
difficult,
sometimes
to
make
a
choice
between
you
know
two
youth
organizations
who
want
to
use
one
facility-
and
you
know
where
we
have
nothing
else
available
in
the
system-
that's
kind
of
suitable
for
their
needs.
N
So
there's
a
lot
in
there
right,
there's
a
lot
in
there
to
unpack
in
terms
of
project
work.
There's
a
lot
in
there
to
unpack
in
terms
of
policy.
I
I
applaud
the
council
president
for
bringing
the
legislation
forward.
I
think
it's
a
great
thing,
I'm
very
excited
to
work
with
all
of
you
on
that
I'm
all
in
on
making
this
better
for
everyone.
H
I
appreciate
that
and
knowing
your
position
on
this
and
your
perspective,
a
couple
of
things
that
haven't
been
said:
one
is
I,
I
I
haven't
been
at
the
table,
but
from
the
sounds
of
it
and
talking
to
people
that
we
haven't
fully
brought
the
power
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
to
the
idea
of
collaborating
with
PPS
and
utilization
of
their
fields
and
athletic
facilities
that
might
go
and
use
private
schools,
universities
that
have
space.
You
know
it's
one
thing:
if
one
person
is
having
a
conversation
with
another
entity,
it's
it's
a
different
thing.
H
If
five
members
of
council
are
all
in
it
together
with
the
mayor
and
the
director
of
DPW,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
the
table.
Second
I
think
I
really
am
certain
that
if
we
put
our
heads
together,
we
can
come
up
with
Creative
out-of-the-box
Solutions
that
aren't
maybe
permanent
solutions
to
the
overco.
The
over
utilization
under
capacity
issue
of
you
know
our
athletic
facilities
that
are
going
to
take
10
20
years
to
resolve,
but
could
be
short-term
fixes
in
the
meantime
that
we
reevaluate
each
year
every
couple
of
years.
H
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
I
will
be
really
scrutinizing
things
like
the
use
of
our
rad
dollars,
use
of
our
Parks
tax
money
when
it
comes
to
you
know,
boots
on
the
ground
work
to
improve
our
athletic
facilities
and
our
you
know
in
our
Parks,
because
this
is
such
a
an
urgent
and
present
issue
for
all
of
us
right
now
in
all
of
our
council
districts.
So
not
a
conversation
piece
for
for
right
now,
but
in
a
month
or
so
when
we're
really
discussing
the
budget
publicly.
J
I
just
wanted
to
say
in
terms
of
the
the
price
of
the
permitting
and
knowing
that
PPS
has
top
priority
in
terms
of
that
algorithm,
that
internal
policy,
that's
a
pretty
good
collaboration
between
the
city
and
the
in
the
school
district
that
you
know,
I
mean
first
priority.
J
Free
access,
so
yeah
be
good
to
understand
some
more
of
how
much
we're
collaborating
with
them
on
their
on
on
our
fields
and
I
was
just
curious
if,
like
that
is
usually
obviously
that
happens
like
after
school
and
and
even
with
alleghen
they're
like
we're.
You
know
that's
too
early
for
us,
but
I've
also
heard
from
coaches
from
PPS
on
just
the
need,
for
you
know
that
they
wish
that
there
was
more
fields
on
their
side.
You
know
I,
guess
I
guess
the
school
district
would
own
it.
J
Are
you
aware
of
any
groundbreaking
is
coming
up
or
any
fields
that
that
the
school
district
is
is
going
about
to
to
invest
it
like?
Are
they
going
about
to
invest
in
any.
F
J
N
How
they're,
how
they're
investing
I
I
mean
I
can't
speak
to
the
you
know
the
great
relationship
we
have
with
PPS,
where
we
you
know,
we
do
that
constantly
with
them
to
try
to
figure
out
accommodating
times
for
both
our
permit
requesters
as
well
as
theirs.
N
You
know
we
go
locate
in
a
lot
of
different
locations
that
are
adjacent
to
PPS
schools
and
both
off-site,
so
we
work
with
them
pretty
closely
throughout
the
year
to
help
you
know,
facilitate
access
to
to
fields
for
everyone.
Okay,.
J
Yeah
and
they're
a
great
partner
with
the
the
north
side
Steelers
on
on
you,
know
getting
the
permit
and
use
of
the
all
of
our
high
school.
So
all
right!
Well,
thanks
thank.
M
I
just
to
wrap
it
up,
I
just
want
to
say,
I
think
that
we'll
schedule
a
meeting
with
you
to
start
working
on
some
of
these
concerns
and
how
we
can
address
it
and
we'll
have
the
administration
there,
because
I
know
they
have
a
lot
to
say
in
it
as
well
and
I
want
to
thank
Melvin
brother
Melvin
he's
actually
scheduled
a
meeting
with
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
and
it's
my
understanding.
M
I
want
to
make
sure
I
quote
him
correctly,
but
to
work
on
additional
fields
that
might
help
solve
the
issue
with
the
dynamos.
So
he
he's
going
to
work
with
councilman,
Lavell
and
and
others
that
might
be
affected
in
that
area,
but
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
the
mayor's
office
has
scheduled
a
meeting
with
the
dynamos.
So
we
will
have
some
kind
of
conversation
about
it,
but
this
is
not
just
isolated
dynamos,
as
you
can
hear
across
it
across
the
table.
M
There's
concerns
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
that
hadn't
been
previously
with
Elliott,
Athletic,
Association
and
I
just
want
to
say,
there's
a
cost.
Associated
we'd
give
permits
for
free,
but
there's
a
cost
associated
with
not
doing
these
programs,
and
you
know
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
could
not
possibly
do
what
all
what
these
athletic
associations
do
across
the
city,
not
just
the
mentoring
that
they
do
with
the
children
and
the
main
maintenance.
They
help
maintain
the
fields
but
the
things
they
do
in
the
community
across
the
board.
M
They
do
a
lot
of
different
things
and,
and
they
make
they're
things
that
make
Pittsburgh
a
livable
City
that
make
people
want
to
live
here
and
make
it
great.
But
we
also
want
young
adults
to
come
so
I
want
to
get
to
a
place
where
we're
more
comfortable
with
what
we're
doing
with
athletic
associations
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
including
looking
for
young
adults
and
working
with
Pittsburgh,
Public
Schools,
but
I
do
want
to
say
we're
not
working
with
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools.
M
We
just
gave
back
a
lot
of
our
playgrounds
to
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
to
maintain
and
not
all
of
them
are
being
maintained
and
so
I
we
may
I
want
to
revisit
that
that
whole.
You
know
idea
of
making
sure
they're
maintaining
the
playgrounds
when
they're
on
the
same
fields
that
we
use
every
day
and
our
kids
are
going
down
on
a
dilapidated
playground.
So
I
think
it's
some
conversations
that
we
have
to
have
in
general.
M
A
M
M
Because
he
did
bring
up
that,
he
had
some
concerns
in
his
district.
He
was
getting
ready
to
introduce
legislation
too,
and
councilman
Groves
and
I
already
had
a
meeting
with
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools,
where
we
at
that
meeting,
we
brought
up
the
need
to
collaborate
a
little
bit
more,
so
I
know
that
everyone's
trying
their
best
but
motion
to
hold
two
weeks
and
we'll
work
on
this.
H
D
M
You
councilman
for
for
deferring
I,
asked
councilwoman
to
defer
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
hold
for
one
week
to
find
out
a
little
bit
more.
This
is
in
a
district
that
I'm
representing
Council
District
Five
until
they
have
a
newly
elected
council
person
which
cannot
happen
fast
enough.
