A
B
A
Thank
you.
Our
next
order
of
business
is
going
to
be
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
of
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
maybe
before,
city
council
profanity
will
not
be
permitted.
Our
first
registered
speaker
is
Naomi
Mullen.
C
Good
morning,
jv3
is
not
shady
deals
in
long
hair.
First
Do
no
harm
it's
not
just
a
rule
of
medicine
government
shall
not
harm
the
people
or
can
be
held
accountable.
Blockbusting
and
infliction
of
emotional
distress
has
occurred
against
one
air.
Those
who
oppose
the
property
owners
of
Bonaire
do
so
at
their
own
carols.
Various
cities
and
hospitals
are
being
sued
with
success.
C
C
Pennsylvania
state
constitution
says
that
government
was
created
for
the
team's
safety
and
happiness
of
We,
the
People
decisions
and
actions
that
harm
the
people
are
not
accessible.
There
are
Alaska
and
appointed
officials
that
have
proven
themselves
to
be
enemies
of
Bon
Air,
mayor
Gainey,
Governor,
Clark,
Hill
and
state
representatives.
Anna
have
all
pledged
to
help
Meyer
get
rid
of
our
detrimental
school
property
and
replace
it
with
a
green
space.
C
The
memorial
green
States
will
be
beneficial
to
all
ages
and
stages
of
people,
a
beautiful
calming
place
to
enjoy
fruit,
trees,
flowers
and
birds.
While
the
rest
of
city
council
promote
this
piece
of
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Conair
neighborhood,
the
school
board
has
proven
itself
as
just
detrimental.
Will
you
be
part
of
the
solution?
C
A
D
Good
morning
my
name
is
Yvonne:
F
Brown
I
live
in
the
Hill
district
at
9,
15
Mercer
Street
up
at
the
top
of
Bedford
I
come
today,
because
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you,
because
you
need
to
understand
why
I
come
down
and
why
I
act.
The
way
I
do
first
thing:
I
wanted
to
say
that
my
son
was
killed
on
November
the
7th,
so
this
day
is
coming
up
and
during
that,
whenever
that
happens,
I
don't
know
inside
of
me.
D
D
Like
I
looked
in
her
face
and
I
saw
the
look,
it
wasn't
the
look
of
hate
or
nothing,
but
it's
like
well,
you
don't
want
to
be
bothered
with
me
and
I
thought.
Looking
in
their
face,
I
felt
different
about
her.
I
did
I
felt
a
whole
lot.
Different
and
I.
Did
this
because
I
believe
when
you
hear
something
you
forget
it?
If
you
see
it,
you
can
remember
it,
but
when
you
know
you
know
it,
and
this
was
for
Mrs
gross
Miss
gross.
You
did
a
good
thing.
It
was
a
wake-up
call
from
me.
D
Thank
you
and
summer
league.
You
both
voted
for
them.
The
women
that
are
voiceless
you
both
you
were.
You
were
a
voice
for
the
voiceless
and
I,
can't
take
that
away
from
you.
Even
though
I
didn't
like
what
happened
with
our
community.
When
we
couldn't
speak
for
ourselves,
you
did
bring
forth
something
that
needed
to
be
known.
You
need
to
know
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
who
thought
of
when
the
woman's
having
a
baby.
You
have
to
Shackle
her
I
mean
you
know
she's
Shackled.
What
is
she
gonna
do
run
with
the
baby.
D
Coming
out
of
her
and
then
I'm
thinking-
and
it
may
be
me
and
I
might
be
prejudiced
about
things
that
you
white
men,
thought
of
that
I.
Don't
even
think
a
black
man
would
say
shackle
her
and
she
can't
move
her
legs
to
have
the
baby.
That's
trauma
for
her
and
Trauma
for
the
baby,
but
I
do
want
to
say
again
miss
gross
I
apologize.
D
I
shouldn't
have
took
away
what
you
did,
because
you,
and
somebody
and
citizens
you
vote
for
whoever
you
want
to
but
I
say
summer
league
is
speaking
for
the
voiceless
and
I
feel
like
sometimes
I'm
a
voice,
I'm
voiceless.
Even
though
I
come
down
here
and
talk,
they
don't
pay
too
much
attention
to
me
and
but
I'ma
keep
coming,
because
I
feel
that
if
you
lose
one
life,
you
understand
one
life
and
that's
the
way
I
felt.
With
my
son
laying
on
the
floor.
D
D
E
E
E
E
Halloween,
none
of
us
knew
that
the
little
girl
that
worked
at
IG
or
Las
Palmas
was
only
13..
She
went
missing.
I
was
talking
to
my
oldest
daughter
and
she
said
Mommy
you've
been
fighting
for
a
Rec
Center.
Since
we
were
little
that's
39
years,
you
want
to
see
Angry
Kids
tell
them
they're
second
class
tell
them
they
have
to
go
to
Brookline
for
everything.
I've
already
proven
West
Liberty
Avenue
is
not
a
safe
Road
to
Cross.
E
For
these
kids,
it's
just
not
Ottawa
has
her
own
little
town
down
there,
I
looked
it
up
steel
pre-fabd
buildings.
E
If
we
could
say
if
we
could
dish
out
a
million
dollars
to
plant
trees,
that's
going
to
crack
cement
and
cause
more
trouble,
they're
anywhere
from
thirty
nine
thousand
to
fifty
thousand
dollars.
We
could
do
this
Pauline
park
ever
since
I've
been
bringing
my
kids
and
my
foster
kids
down.
There
is
nothing
but
a
toilet
smelling,
a
condom,
Left
Behind
area,
it's
flat.
It's
the
best
street
to
bring
prefab
buildings
up
there.
I
will
do.
If
you
ask
me,
I
will
do
whatever
I
can
if
I
have
to
talk
to
Stoughton
Farms.
E
E
They
lost
the
greatest
basketball
they
ever
had
at
St
Catharines,
they
told
us
the
sailing
was
low,
I
told
the
father
when
I
tried
to
get
it.
When
my
now
youngest
was
six
I
said
hold
on
that
ceiling
hasn't
changed
in
30
years.
The
kids
have
always
played
there.
They've
lost
everything,
they're,
basically
being
told
they're
second-class
citizens.
Well,
now
you've
got
a
whole
bunch
of
angry
kids.
E
E
A
A
B
677
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor,
the
Office
of
Management
and
budget,
the
department
of
City
Planning,
the
Department
of
Finance,
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance,
the
Department
of
Public
Works,
the
Department

and
the

of
the

Pittsburgh
to
temporarily
address
the
public

emergency
of
homelessness
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
to
provide
for
policies
and
programs
to
address
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
and
their
consequent
contribution
to
Chronic
homelessness.
As
directed
herein
until
more
permanent
Solutions
can
be
implemented.
Motion.
F
So
with
that
I'll
motion
to
hold
three
weeks.
Second,.
A
B
870
resolution
further
amending
resolution
number
863
of
2018,
effective
January,
1
2019,
as
amended
entitled
resolution
adopting
and
approving
the
2019
capital
budget
and
the
2019
Community
Development
block
grant
program
and
the
2019
through
2024
Capital
Improvement
program
by
reducing
more
and
open
connector,
Four,
Mile
Run
by
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
increasing
Street
resurfacing
by
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
If.
G
A
I
A
G
C
K
A
So
can
we
do
this
last
so
we'll
leave
it
open
and
come
back
come
back
to
it?
Last
yeah.
H
K
Well,
I,
don't
know
I
we've
held
it
for
we've
held
it.
No
we've
held
it
for
weeks
with
no
comment
by
members,
so
I
like
to
pass
it
since
there
has
been
no
written,
no
written
comments,
no,
no,
no
collaborative
changes.
It
has
the
support
of
the
mayor's
office
and
I
will
I
will
explain
why
it's
needed,
which
I've
been
quiet
about
until
now,
but
now
I'll
spend
the
day
explaining
how
it
fits
and
the
overall
infrastructure
of
violence
reduction
and
building
poor
communities.
K
Certainly
wealthier
communities
do
not
need
this
help
if
you
are
living
in
Highland,
Park
or
if
you're
living
in
Bloomfield
or
if
you're
living
in
North
Point
South
Point
Breeze.
If
you're
living
in
Shadyside,
you
already
have
internally
the
capacity
by
your
individual
Community
groups
and
your
individual
residence
groups
in
order
to
participate
fully
with
the
city
and
all
of
the
resources
available.
However,
if
you
live
in
50
percent
of
the
city,
that's
under
resourced,
your
community
groups
do
not
have
the
capacity.
They
cannot
write
grants
they
cannot.
K
They
cannot
and
I'll
talk
about
this
later.
They
cannot
provide
the
they
do
not
have
the
resources
in
order
to
partner
with
the
city
we
already
learned,
and
we
just
came
back
from
a
conference
saying
that,
in
order
to
stop
gun
violence,
we
need
everybody
to
participate,
but
we
can't
get
participation
from
people
who
don't
know
how
to
participate,
and
so
I'll
explain
that
in
detail
and
again
I'll
be
willing
to
amend.
If
there
is
any
any
written
comments
or
any
other
help
on
how
to
strengthen
this.
F
Thank
you,
I
do
feel
like
this
is
the
second
time
that
I've
said
this
into
the
record,
but
I'm
happy
to
say
it
again
and
I
know
that
we
also
said
it
off
the
Record.
After
a
meeting
when
we
had
a
lengthy
discussion
about
the
bill,
so
this
bill
changes
the
job
descriptions
of
the
four
new
city
council,
employees
that
were
just
hired
in
2022
under
and
under
an
advertised
job
description
for
Community
engagement,
this
bill
reassigns
the
positions
to
do
technical
assistance,
which
means
it's
not
just
writing
grants.
F
It's
writing
business
plans
in
non-profit
language,
that's
program,
development
figuring
out
what
is
capacity
building
at
an
organization
is
not
the
same
as
Communications
backgrounds
and
just
being
able
to
write
press
releases,
create
events
and
post
on
social
media.
So
it
isn't
I
think
an
interesting
and
important
conversation.
F
That
the
work
that
our
communities
needs,
because
the
city
organization
as
a
corporation
has
been
in
such
austerity
mode
because
of
act
47
because
of
oversight
by
the
Republican
ICA
board
that
we
withdrew
from
communities.
We
closed
recreation,
centers,
we
closed
swimming
pools,
we
fired
more
than
half
of
City
staff,
including
especially
the
community
counselors,
the
rec
center
directors,
the
the
people
who
taught
classes
who
coached
athletic
leagues
and
we
have
left
communities
to
their
own
devices
right
and
some
of
those
communities
had
volunteer
capacity
and
some
did
not.
F
Some
of
those
communities
have
been
able
to
raise
charitable
dollars
and
have
staff
and
paid
staff
to
do
the
kind
of
community
work
that
the
city
could
and
possibly
should
be
doing.
So,
that's
its
own
conversation
right.
So
assuming
that
we
don't
change
what
we're
doing
and
we
do
leave
the
only
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
communities
to
these
independent
Citizen
Community
organizations.
F
It
is
an
important
discussion
about
how
we
help
them
level
the
pen
laying
field
and
provide
the
kinds
of
technical
assistance,
capacity,
building
and
resource
sharing
that
those,
if
they're,
going
to
fend
for
themselves
and
we're
not
going
to
do
it
with
City
staff
and
City
resources.
What
should
they
do
now?
It's
a
completely
separate
question
whether
the
bill
as
written
should
reassign
the
very
new
and
four
employees.
F
The
city
council
who
I
sat
through
all
of
the
interviews
right
were
hired
under
one
job
description
with
one
set
of
skill
sets,
whether
that's
this
I
I
believe
these
are
not
translatable.
Skill
sets
to
technical
assistance
and
capacity
building,
so
that
I've
said
that
before
I
believe
on
the
record
and
I've
said
it
to
the
sponsor
and
I
maintained
that
that
is
a
fundamental
problem
with
this
proposal,
and
it
that
part
would
definitely
need
to
be
fixed
before
I
could
before
I
could
support
this
Bill.
Thank
you.
K
K
Whether
the
world's
called
it's
just
that
I'm
willing
to
explain
why
it's
important
I
think
that's
different,
that
that's
different
than
whether
these
particular
workers
can
do
that
job.
That's
a
different
conversation,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
why
this
work
is
important
and
how
it
fits
in.
Does
that
make
sense?
It
does.
H
Yes,
please
thank
you.
I
I've
not
had
opportunity
to
speak
about
with
that
councilman
regarding
the
particulars
of
the
bill,
but
I
do
believe
that
councilwoman
gross
does
interject
a
an
interesting
perspective.
That
I
think
needs
to
be
explored
a
little
more
vigorously
and
I
would
like
that
opportunity
to
to
be
able
to
do
that.
H
So
for
what
that's
worth
it
it
may
be,
it
may
be
more
productive
and
bring
better
results
for
the
for
what
you
wish
to
accomplish,
councilman,
which
I
believe,
I
and
I
believe
this
whole
Council
stands
in
in
full
agreement
with
you,
it's
the
perhaps
the
pathway
by
which
we're
trying
to
get
there.
That
might
need
a
broader
discussion,
so
I
appreciate
you
councilman
Rose,
for
bringing
a
different
perspective
directed
into
the
conversation.
So
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
so
we'll
leave
this
bill
open,
as
our
guests
begin
to
come
in
and
we'll
come
back
to
it.
Let's
as
they
come
in,
we
can
finish
up
what
we
can.
Let's
go
to
our
new
paper,
Bill
867
battle
clerk.
B
Bill
867
resolution
authorizing
the
citizens
police
review
board
to
enter
into
an
agreement
or
contracts
with
attorney
William
F
ward
of
Rothman
Gordon
PC
for
Professional
Services
to
assist
an
illegal
representation
of
the
Citizen
Police

said.
Agreements

2024
and

subject

H
Councilman
councilman
for
those
that
may
be
a
little
narrative,
Council

ward,
has
been
the
the
attorney
for
the
citizens
police
review
board
for
as
many
years
as
I
have
been

This
is
probably
now
the
fourth
time
since
I've
been
here
that
we
have
renewed
his
contract
to
a
solicitor
to
the
citizens,
police,
Review
Board

and
I'm.
Happy

Thank

He's

and
everyone
who's
here
with
the
Westinghouse
Bulldogs,
who
are
our
City
League
champions
to
come
up
for
a
proclamation.
A
I
L
L
So
this
is
an
exciting
day
for
Pittsburgh
an
exciting
day
for
Westinghouse
and
I,
want
to
thank
mayor
Gainey
for
asking
us
to
join
him
in
presenting
proclamations
in
recognizing
your
championship
and
your
hard
work
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
Reverend
Burgess
represents
this
area
and
he's
going
to
join
us
and
he
wants
to
say
he
would
like
to
say
a
few
words
too
of
congratulations.
L
But
that's
Emma
Turner
refers
to
Mayor
Gainey
yeah,
okay,
he
said
let
Reverend
bar
just
go
so
Reverend
Burgess.
First,

a
gentleman
both
of
them
are.
K
We
are
grateful
for
your
Championship
right,
we're
grateful
for
the
coach
who
has
brought
this
sort
of
new
spirit
of
achievement.
We
are
grateful
for
the
superintendent
who
brings
us
this,
both
in
his
personage
and
in
his
in
his
demeanor
and
in
his
administration.
He
brings
about
this
Spirit
of
possibilities
and
potentialities,
and
you
know
I'm
a
frustrated
athlete
right.
I'm
I
wasn't
like
mayor
Gainey,
mayor
Gainey
was
a
real,
was
a
first-rate
division.
One
athlete
I
was
a
frustrated
athlete
right.
You
know
my
roommate
was
the
first
run.
K
Nba
pick,
but
I
I
didn't
have
those
skills,
but
I
will
tell
you
this.
What
I
have
learned
Sports
is
a
great
Gateway.
Most
of
us
most
of
you
will
never
be
NFL
football
players,
but
you
can
use
these
skills
that
you've
learned
on
the
football
field,
to
be
great
citizens,
to
be
great
students
and
to
be
great
men,
and
so
my
prayer
and
hope
for
you
as
we
celebrate
this
championship
and
your
families
and
friends
around
you,
my
prayer
for
you
and
hope
for
you
is
that
you
remember
these
days.
K
You
will
remember
this
in
the
ring.
You
get
you'll,
remember
it
for
the
rest
of
your
life,
but
when
you
realize
that
you
realize
that
you
have
this
opportunity
to
represent
our
community
to
be
great
and
so
that
I
pray
that
you'll
spend
the
less
the
rest
of
your
life,
not
just
in
football
but
in
life,
I
pray
that
you
will
spend
the
rest
of
your
life
trying
to
be
great.
Thank
you
for
this
moment.
L
Now
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Mayor
Gainey,
and
then
we
will
introduce
the
superintendent
and
the
folks
that
he
has
with
him
today
and
we
are
also
joined
today
by
Gene
Walker,
our
Pittsburgh
Public
School
Board,
one
of
our
Pittsburgh
public
school
board
members.
So
I
want
to
thank
you,
Mr
Walker,
for
being
here
as
well.
So
first
mayor,
Gainey.
M
M
I
appreciate
you
letting
the
Westinghouse
Bulldogs
come
to
council
today,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
the
team.
I
want
to.
Thank
you
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
what
it
means.
When
you
talk
about
Westinghouse
football,
the
legacy
of
Western
ounce
football,
but
also
not
just
the
Legacy
I
know
what
y'all
had
to
go
through
a
small
City
School
like
this,
the
lack
of
resources
you
may
have
practicing
on
the
field,
and
it
just
goes
to
show
it
don't
matter
where
you're
from
it's.
M
If
you
got
the
heart,
the
will
the
desire
to
be
the
best
you
gonna
be
the
best
and
y'all
proved
it,
and
what
I
love
more
than
anything
is
last
year
supposed
to
be
y'all's
year
didn't
happen,
and
you
came
back
this
year,
but
more
willpower
to
go,
get
it
and
that's
powerful
and
I'm,
just
so
proud
of
y'all,
not
just
as
athletes,
but
just
as
young
people,
that
is
in
the
community,
doing
good
things
to
the
principal.
Thank
you
so
much
William
principal.
Thank
you
so
much
so.
M
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
Dr
Walters
for
a
minute
and
I
want
Dante
to
come
by,
because
it's
cool
that
you
hear
from
me
and
all
these
elected
officials,
but
I
want
to
bring
it
home
and
let
them
here.
Let
you
hear
how
they
see
about
this.
Victory
I
got
the
principle
down
there.
He's
gonna
have
to
make
his
way
up
as
well.
Let
me
start
with
Dr
Walters.
N
Good
morning,
everyone
and
thank
you,
mayor,
Gainey
council,
president
kale
Smith.
We
have
a
group
of
individuals
here
who
are
so
proud
of
our
scholar.
Athletes
in
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
I
have
a
motto
that
says:
Nothing
in
life
is
so
complicated
that
it
cannot
be
achieved
by
discipline
and
hard
work
and
so
I
thank
the
coach
for
instilling
discipline
and
a
dedication
to
not
only
winning
but
doing
it
with
class
and
Grace
and
complete
finesse
and
so
I
know.
There's
a
football
player
on
the
team.
N
N
O
Good
morning,
everybody
I
really
didn't
have
anything
prepared
to
say,
but
what
I
do
want
to
when
I
think
about
these
guys
and
I'm?
Talking
to
all
of
you
guys
are
in
this
room
right
now.
O
You
guys
are
the
leaders
in
the
building
I
appreciate
the
hard
work,
the
dedication
that
you
all
bring
and
the
pride
that
you
bring
back
to
the
house.
You
know
it's
I.
Also,
just
you
know
pointing
out
that
something
that
everybody
else
has
pointed
out,
but
the
coaching
staff,
you
know:
coach,
Dante,
coach,
green
coach,
Cowart,
coach,
Hall
and
all
the
all
the
additional
support
that
these
guys
have.
You
know
we
we're
building
a
program
at
Westinghouse
and
I've
learned
a
lot
not
just
from
these
kids,
but
these
coaches.
O
That
just
really
support
me
as
the
principal
in
the
building.
So
thank
you
all
for
continuing
to
be
the
leaders
in
the
building
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
building
more
with
you.
P
Oh
man,
just
let
me
straight
out
I,
wasn't
prepared
to
say
anything
but
first
foremost,
I
want
to
thank
mayor,
Gainey
and
city
council
for
recognizing
not
only
just
Westinghouse
but
City
League
football
before
I'm,
a
football
coach
at
Westinghouse
I
am
a
proud
Alum
of
the
city
league
and
I'm,
a
big
huge
fan
of
of
everything,
City
League.
So
thank
you
guys
for
for
the
recognition,
but
today
and
also
want
to
thank
Administration
and
all
School
staff,
because
this
is
not
a
Dante
show.
This
is
not
just
a
football
staff
show.
P
P
She's,
really
the
one
that
makes
the
needle
move
so
truly
appreciate
you
and
again
everybody
who,
as
a
part
of
what
we
do
in
our
success.
But
one
thing
I
want
to
say
and
I
thought
about
this
about
two
weeks
ago
and
I
was
waiting
for
an
opportunity
to
share
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
guys
I'm
talking
about
talking
to
my
team
right
now,
people
we
talk
about
Community,
restoration
right.
We
talk
about
Shining
Light
in
the
community.
You
know
when
you
hear
Westinghouse
mainly
on
the
news.
P
Everything
is
negative
right
talking
about
the
Homewood
Community
Wilkinsburg
Community,
but
we've
been
able
to
do
something
extremely
special
and
I
will
say
you
guys,
every
single
day,
every
good
decision
that
you
make
right
getting
up
in
the
morning
getting
to
school,
not
leaving
the
school
until
nine
o'clock
at
night.
The
sacrifice
and
commitment
that
you
guys
make
is
touching
the
deepest
darkest
corners
of
our
communities.
P
You
got
people
who
haven't
smiled
in
years
being
able
to
say
I'm,
proud
of
the
group
that
is
bringing
Pride
back
to
our
neighborhood
and
not
just
Homewood,
we're
talking
Wilkinsburg,
Garfield,
Lincoln
llama
and
we're
doing
something
that
people
thought
that
we
couldn't
do.
When
the
when
the
Wilkinsburg
and
Pittsburgh
merger,
the
Wilkins
Bergen
PPS
merger
happened,
they
thought
it
was
going
to
be
completely
chaos,
but
you
guys
were
Catalyst
to
make
sure
that
that
was
a
smooth
transition.
P
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
you
guys
Beyond
playing
football
beyond
what
you
do
on
the
football
field,
even
beyond
what
you
do
in
the
classroom.
You
know
I
think
I'm
thankful
for
what
you
guys
do
in
the
community,
because
part
of
my
mission
and
part
of
my
my
life's
work
is
making
sure
that
I'm
helping
restore
our
community
and
that's
through
coaching
at
Westinghouse
and
even
working
at
the
trade
Institute
of
Pittsburgh.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
guys.
P
G
How
y'all
guys
doing
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
all
of
this
stuff,
winning
the
stage
another
city
Champion,
all
that
just
ready
to
get
back
to
work,
make
the
city
proud.
Thank
you.
M
L
L
Okay
and
then
I'm
just
going
to
say
we
have
a
proclamation
here
and
Reverend
Burgess.
Do
you
want
to
come
up
and
read
this
one,
we're
gonna,
let
Reverend
read
this
Proclamation,
but
I
just
want
to
say
we
are
going
to
be
here
for
you
we're
so
proud
of
you
for
everything
you're
doing
on
the
field,
but
we
are
here
for
you,
even
when
you're
off
the
field.
So
if
you
ever
need
anything
from
Pittsburgh
city,
council
or
mayor
Gainey,
I
can
tell
you
I
know
that
Karen
Arnold
Rodney
Dr
Sappo
Dr
Sacco.
L
They
all
know
how
to
get
in
touch
with
us,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
people
here
that
can
reach
out
to
us.
So
make
sure
that
if
you
ever
need
something
and
I
can
tell
you,
Reverend
Burgess
has
been
hoarding
a
lot
of
money
for
your
District.
So
so,
if
you
need
something
make
sure
you
talk
to
these
guys
about
getting
it.
L
K
They're
the
same
in
both
but
now
therefore
be
resolved.
The
Council
of
City
of
Pittsburgh
does
hereby
recognize
and
commend
his
coach
Dante
Greene
his
coaching
staff
and
the
2022-2023
Westinghouse
Academy
bulldogs
for
the
undefeated
season
and
their
City
League
Championship,
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
does
hereby
declare
Wednesday
November,
2nd
2022
to
be
Westinghouse.
Academy
Bulldogs
football
day
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
M
L
K
B
M
J
J
J
J
L
D
J
B
A
K
So
can
I
begin
the
conversation
and
so
I'm
not
unwilling
to
work,
but
let
me
at
least
now
lay
out
the
thinking
process,
so
we
have
a
platform
to
work
on
since,
over
the
last,
for
whatever
reason,
or
last
six
weeks,
we've
not
been
able
to
to
to
get
anything
in
writing.
So
we
know
that
there
is
a
need
to
rebuild
and
to
strengthen
at
least
50
percent
of
Pittsburgh
right.
K
We
know,
50
of
Pittsburgh
is
actually
doing
pretty
well,
but
approximately
50
percent
of
Pittsburgh
is
not
doing
so
well
and
in
those
areas,
primarily,
you
have
the
violence
and
the
hopelessness,
even
though
the
violence
has
occurred
in
other
communities.
The
people
who
are
doing
those
violence
are
not
from
those
communities.
They
are
still
from
that
50
of
the
city
that
is
not
doing
well,
and
so
at
the
conference
that
we
came
to
came
from
last
week,
cities
United.
I
K
K
Their
definition
sees
United
reimagining,
Public
Safety
means
identifying
community-led,
strategies
and
or
supported
Solutions
and
strategies
that
stop
the
bleeding
today
and
investing
in
the
dismantlement
of
the
systems
of
inequity,
and
so
you
got
to
do
both.
You
have
to
do
immediate
things,
but
at
the
same
time
you
have
to
invest
in
long-term
things.
Right
I
want
to
cover.
I
will
not
talk.
We're
going
to
talk
about
this
at
length
Monday,
but
I
want
to
at
least
show
you
how
all
these
things
fit
together.
K
So
we
have
something
called
the
Pittsburgh
pen
for
peace
and
the
Pittsburgh
plan
for
peace
is
a
city
violence,
reductions,
initiative
all
right.
It
is
managed
by
the
department
of
safety.
Lee
Smith
is
director
of
Public
Safety.
It
is
staffed
by
David
Jones,
who
is
the
assistant
director
for
Community
Affairs,
it's
governed
through
the
Stop,
the
Violence
governing
board,
the
stop
the
government
government
Stop.
The
Violence
governing
board
consists
of
councilman
Lavelle
myself,
the
mayor's
office,
the
Public
Safety
Office,
the
police.
K
It's
a
it's
a
it's
a
representative
group
from
various
parts
of
city
government.
So
you
have
this
sort
of
overarching
group
that
manages
this
initiative.
This
initiative
is
Citywide
and
not
only
does
it
does
it
match
city
government,
but
it
manages
all
the
community
organizations
and
partners
who
partner
with
us.
It
has
six
comprehensive
coordinated
strategies,
one
it
has
a
public
health
approach,
that's
managed
by
the
safer
together
coordinator
people.
Don't
people
have
asked
what
that
means.
Public
health
approach
means
a
four-step
process,
one
you
define
and
monitor
the
problem.
K
Two,
you
identify
the
risk
factors
and
the
protective
factors.
Three
you
develop
and
test
prevention
strategies
and
then
four,
you
assure
widespread
adoption.
So
that's
the
overall
thinking
of
how
it
works.
How
it's
implemented.
There
are
six
coordinated
and
comprehent
coordinated
and
comprehensive
strategies.
The
strategies
are
coordinated.
That's
the
the
that's.
What
makes
the
initiative
special
is.
It
represents
the
whole
city,
but
each
of
the
six
things
are
coordinated,
so
it
works
together
and
on
Monday,
we'll
talk
about
this
a
length
I'm
just
going
to
scan
it
over
it
very
quickly.
K
I
won't
even
discuss
it
one.
You
have
the
public
health
approach,
which
is
managed
by
the
safer
together
coordinator
two,
you
have
the
right
policing
and
that's
managed
by
the
Pittsburgh
Bureau
of
police.
Three.
You
have
person-centered
support.
That
means
you
have
social
workers
and
all
that
stuff.
That's
matched
by
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety.
You
have
Community
Partners,
which
is
managed
by
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
community
services,
and
then
you
have
five.
K
You
have
a
healthy
economy
which
is
managed
by
Jake
Pollock,
director
of
OMB,
and
finally,
you
have
data
and
evidence.
This
is
overall
managed
by
Jake
Wheatley,
the
chief
of
staff,
so
you
have
now
this
this
initiative.
That's
really
oversees
a
process.
Right
of
so
you
have
these
areas
where
you
have
these.
Now
all
of
them
are
connected
to
the
community
in
healthy
communities
and
and
again
the
example
I
give
is
just
you
know
is
when
Patrick
was
in
office
is
when
we
we
did
a
joint
Bloomfield.
K
Garfield
strategy
for
the
bottom
dollar,
which
is
now
the
Aldi's
right
and
we
sat
on
the
community
meeting-
we
had
members
of
Garfield
and
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
a
community
meeting
like
I
had
in
my
past
right
where
we
would
talk
we'd
bring
in
City
resources.
It
wasn't
like
that
at
all,
when
I
went
there,
the
Bloomfield
residents
had
their
own
architects
who
lived
there.
They
had
their
own
management
people
who
lived
there.
K
They
drew
their
own
specs
when
we
had
negotiated
the
building,
they
brought
their
own
resources
and
say
this
is
how
high
the
building
is
has
to
be
able.
I'd,
never
seen
anything
like
that
before,
because
in
my
community
those
that
talent
doesn't
exist,
there's
no,
those
resources
that
are
inherent
in
the
community
they
didn't,
they
didn't
need
the
city
to
negotiate.
Really
I
was
really
more
just
a
witness
of
watching
the
community
with
all
those
resources
engage
in
a
very
comprehensive
way
in
poorer
communities.
K
Those
resources
that
don't
exist
so
I
want
to
talk
about
and
I
guess,
I
think
I
want
to
separate
the
staff
from
the
function.
If
we
can
agree
on
the
function,
then
we
can
have
the
right
staff
because
well
you
know,
we
we
actually
have
a
vacancy
in
the
office.
I
won't
go
over
this
Atlanta,
they.
Basically
the
Pittsburgh
strong
communities
initiative.
The
the
plan
for
peace
is
from
the
top
down.
K
It
shows
you
how
the
city
is
functioning,
how
all
of
the
city
places
are
functioning,
but
for
some
of
our
communities
there
has
to
be
a
bottom-up
to
prepare
the
residents
and
the
community
groups
to
participate.
We
all
agree
that
it
takes
a
whole
village.
It's
going
in
order
to
reduce
violence.
We
agree
that
everybody
has
to
play
a
part,
but
someone
is
going
to
have
to
teach
the
community
groups
and
the
residents
how
they
play
their
part.
K
Someone
has
to
teach
them
that
they
don't
know
and
if
we
don't
teach
them
and
right
now,
there
is
no
one
assigned
to
do
it,
and
so
it's
it's.
You
know
there.
We
have
a
few
groups
that
are
functioning
a
few
groups
that
are
not.
There
is
no
one
whose
job
it
is
is
to
hook
the
community
up
into
these
very
strategies.
That's
with
the
strong
communities
initiative
does
again
here's
a
PowerPoint
I
will
not
go
over
the
Powerpoint.
It's
based
around
the
social
determinants
of
Health.
K
If
you
walk
from
warmer
to
either
one
of
those
Corners,
it's
what
60
feet
60
feet
in
South
Point
Breeze,
you
have
the
highest
life
expectancy
in
Allegheny
County,
one
of
the
highest
life
expectancy.
Sure
you
sat
one
of
the
highest
life
expectancy
in
Allegheny
County.
If
you
cross
the
street
in
60
feet,
you
go
to
one
of
the
lowest
life
expectancy
in
Allegheny
County
by
simply
moving
your
house
up
60
feet.
K
Theoretically,
you
lose
15
years
of
your
life,
because
the
outcomes
alarmer
are
about
15
years
of
life,
less
than
the
outcomes
in
Shadyside
and
the
outcomes.
The
North
Point
Breeze
I've
spent
15
years
doing
this
work
right
and
we
have,
and
evidence
of
this
is
the
mayor's
office
just
awarded
I
think
45
grants
totally
a
million
dollars
to
community-based
organizations.
We
had
110
grants
that
were
submitted
I
had
the
ability
to
read
over
the
grants.
40
of
those
grants
were
incomprehensible,
they
weren't
written
well,
they
were
cut
and
paste
from
the
internet.
K
They
were
incomprehensible
in
terms
of
a
logic
model
or
any
of
us
who
write
grants
and
so
certainly
there's
a
disconnect
between
individual
residents
every
week.
For
me,
I,
don't
know
about
your
offices.
Every
week
in
my
office,
someone
calls
me
says:
rev
I
want
to
start
a
business
every
week
every
week.
Someone
calls
me
and
says:
rev
I
want
to
start
off
the
school
program.
I
go
and
talk
to
them.
They
don't
have
the
capacity
they.
Some
of
them
are
doing
work
they're
doing
good
work.
K
They
just
don't
know
how
to
put
it
on
paper.
They
don't
know
how
to
design
it.
I
can't
take
time
from
my
Council
Office
to
sit
down
and
give
them
the
technical
assistance
that
they
need.
Second
of
all,
so
and
I
again
I
try
to
talk
about
my
past
work,
but
for
five
or
six
years
the
agency
that
I
before
I
came
to
member
Council.
K
The
agency
that
I
was
over
was
the
technical
assistant
Agency
for
emerging
organizations
in
Allegheny,
County,
I
helped
start
230,
non-profit
organizations
in
Allegheny
County,
providing
them
with
all
of
the
Technical
Resources
from
board
development
to
fiscal
structure,
to
program
development.
I
kind
of
do
know
this
stuff.
Now
these
agencies
and
these
groups
don't
need
traditional.
They
need
it,
they're,
not
ready
for
traditional
technical
assistance,
because
the
way
traditional
technical
assistance
works
is
you
put
them
in
a
cohort.
K
You
sit
them
down
with
60
people
and
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
go
over
the
basics
of
how
to
do
a
business
plan,
we're
going
to
go
over
the
basics
of
of
what
it
looks
like
to
be
a
non-profit
development
person.
I
know
how
to
do
that.
Stuff
did
that
for
years
they
will
leave
that
meeting
the
same
way.
They
came
in
because
they're
not
ready
for
that.
Yet
they
actually
need
pre-technical
assistance.
K
They
need
someone
to
sit
down
with
them,
to
explain
to
them
the
very
basics
of
how
you
interact
with
government,
the
very
basics
of
how
you
approach
the
foundation,
how
you
put
together
a
program
and
they
need
someone
to
sit
with
them
in
a
room
for
days,
not
one
time
not
two
times.
They
need
someone
to
sit
down
with
them
for
days
and
or
weeks
or
months
to
walk
with
them
to
continually
give
them
feedback.
Now,
this
skill
is
not
rocking
scientists,
salt
rocket
scientists.
K
If
you
are
remotely
intelligent
person,
we
can
take
you
through
a
program
to
teach
you
to
deliver
these
ta
Services
all
right.
We
have
two
of
the
we
have
right.
Now
we
have
three.
We
have
a
space
open
for
another
coordinator.
We
have
three
coordinators,
two
of
them
have
earned
doctorates.
Certainly
they
have
both
one
one
of
them
for
sure,
maybe
two
of
them,
one
of
them,
has
done
technical
assistance
in
the
past.
They
can
be
trained
because
they
have
the
academic
background.
We
can
take
them
through
a
curriculum.
It's
not
something
unbelievable.
K
You
can
teach
them
to
do
this
work.
The
strong
Community
initiative
says
basically
this
and
maybe
I'm
wrong.
Every
Community
deserves
safe
safety.
Every
Community
deserves
housing.
Every
Community
deserves
access
to
health
care.
Every
Community
serves
quality
education,
every
Community
deserves
income.
The
idea
is
not
to
just
Target
any
Community
is
to
go
into
every
community
and
say:
let's
look
at
what
you
have
and
let's
look
at
where
you're,
where
you're
like.
K
Let's
go
to
Carrick,
let's
look
at
what
carrot
has
and
then
let's
look
at
what
the
character
doesn't
have
and
let's
work
with
the
community
groups
in
Carrick
and
give
them
the
capacity
to
build
out
their
their
capacity
to
do
whatever
they
want
to
do
so
if
they
want
to
do
whatever
education
education
program,
we
share
models
with
them.
If
they
want
to
do
a
family
support
program,
they
want
to
start
a
new
business.
K
Now
we
can
argue
whether
or
not
the
staff
we
have
can
be
trained
to
do
this,
that
there
is
no
it.
There
is
no
other.
There
is
no
other
entity
in
the
city
doing
this.
No
one
else
is
doing
this.
We've
we
talked
to
the
mayor's
office.
We've
all
agreed,
which
is
why
they
helped
me
write
this.
We
all
agreed
this
work
has
to
be
done
now.
I,
don't
know
about
you.
K
This
is
just
me
now
this.
The
last
thing
I'm
gonna
talk
to
me
as
a
council
person.
These
people
will
be
helping
to
organize
residents
in
community
groups
inside
council
districts.
My
preference
as
a
council
member
I
would
prefer
to
have
some
control
over
the
people
who
are
organizing
residents
and
Community
groups
in
my
own
District
I
would,
rather
it
not
be
done
by
the
mayor's
office.
K
I'd
rather
be
participatory,
not
that
the
mayor
office
is
bad,
but
Council
has
its
own
role
and
I
would
prefer
councilman
colloquial
to
be
a
participant
in
the
organized
organizing
of
residents
and
Community
groups
and
empowering
them
in
his
own
Community
I.
Think
councilman
LaBelle
and
by
having
our
own
staff
did
does
that.
We
then,
as
counsel,
can
kind
of
oversee
the
development
of
these
groups
in
our
own
Council
District
I
am
certainly
willing
to
hold
it.
I
am
willing,
I
have
been
I've,
held
it.
K
What
six
weeks
now,
eight
weeks
right
and
and
I'm
willing
to
talk.
I'm
willing
to
negotiate
but
I'm
I
want
to
at
least
explain
how
all
this
fits
in
an
in
an
ecosystem
of
stopping
violence
and
rebuilding
communities,
and
so
that's
why
I
afford
it
I
think
the
group
The
the
workers
will
do
the
work
with
or
without
the
legislation
and
I
think
the
council
and,
lastly,
I
also
think
the
council
people
should
be
able
to
say
no
right.
You
may
not
need
this.
K
You
know
there
are
certain
communities
that
absolutely
don't
need
the
helping
hand
they
have
enough
resources
in
their
own
communities
every
day,
all
day
long.
You
know
I'm
when,
when
Bill
peduto
and
I
we
serve
together
on
Council,
he
used
to
say
this.
You
know
we
used
to
laugh
about
it
privately.
He
said
you
know,
I
can
go
to
sleep
for
eight
years
and
when
I
wake
up,
my
Council
district
will
be
much
better
than
it
is
right.
K
Now,
if
I
don't
do
anything
because
of
the
wealth
and
the
resources
in
those
districts
is
concentrated,
but
it's
very,
very
wealthy
right
and
it's
very
very
resourced
right
and
they,
you
know
they
have
their
own
way
of
dealing
with
government
and
getting
State
resources
and
getting
government
resources.
They
know
how
to
do
it
without
city
government
I'm.
Certainly
Erica
does
a
great
job
I'm,
not
saying
that
you
don't
but
I'm
saying
that
that
they
have
those
capacities
in
some
of
our
districts.
In
my
district
they
don't
have
a
capacity
right.
K
K
K
No
one
had
given
him
technical
assistance.
No
one
helped
him
think
about
this.
Had
someone
helped
him
to
think
about
it?
What
we
could
have
done
is
said,
look
man
if
you
want
to
buy
this
building,
that's
great,
don't
put
your
money
into
rehabbing
it.
Yet,
let's
run
programming,
let's
get
you
capacity
for
grant,
writing
and
programming
up
so
that
you
have
programming
already.
So
then,
when
you
open
up
the
building,
you
already
have
income
from
the
programming.
K
But
this
is
my
thinking
my
thinking
may
be
flawed,
I'm
going
to
share
and
talk
and
and
and
share
and
and
men
and
revise,
but
what
I
am
suggesting
is,
if
we're
going
to
do
this,
let's
talk
about
I
have
not
yet
I've
been
waiting
for
eight
weeks.
I
have
not
I
have
not
seen
anything
in
writing.
K
I've
asked
for
it.
I
sent
an
email
recently
I've,
not
seen
anything
in
writing.
I've
not
seen
any
amendments,
and
so
I
really
don't
understand.
I,
don't
understand,
I,
don't
unders
I,
don't
know
how
to
make
this
better.
I
did
the
best.
I
can
Jake
Pollock
and
I
wrote
the
best
we
can,
and
so
without
tangible
Alternatives
I
have
nothing,
there's
no
more
work
for
me
to
do,
but
I'm
going
to
hold
I'm
going
to
do
the
work.
K
Just
tell
me
what
you
want
to
see
different
and
I'll
help
do
that
I'm
on
hold
for
two
weeks
and
four
weeks
doesn't
matter
because
irregardless
of
this
I'm
going
to
do
this
work.
I'm
absolutely
going
to
do.
I've
been
doing
this
work
before
this
I'm
not
going
to
stop,
because
the
need
is
so
great
because
these
kids
are
out
of
control
and
we
know
the
only
way
to
stop.
This
is
the
whole
community
participates
and
we
need
these
Community
groups
to
be
able
to
operate
in
a
high
functioning
level
to
do
their
part.
A
L
You
Mr
thank
you
so
I,
just
I
want
to
First,
say:
I
know
how
passionate
you
are
about
this
I
know
how
passionate
councilman
I
know
we
all
are
I
know
we've
done
a
lot
for
me.
My
hesitation
is
we
have
seen
since
I've
been
here.
We've
seen
the
Pittsburgh
initiative
to
reduce
crime.
It
sounded
great
we've
seen
a
safer
together.
It's
not
that
sounds
great
we've
seen
so
many
programs
come
and
go.
We
see
the
Stop
the
Violence
program.
L
Everything
sounds
great,
but
we're
seeing
increased
numbers
of
shootings
and
violence
and,
at
this
point
I
think
the
community
has
grown
weary,
we're
growing
weary.
We
want
to
be
supportive
and
we
want
to
help,
but
we're
tired
of
hearing
about
programs.
We're
tired
of
hearing
about
funding.
I,
really
think
that
you
know
the
way
to
get
some
to
a
lot
of
people
are
not
going
to
be
through
meetings,
they're
not
going
to
be
through
Community
organizations
and
honestly
I
mean
I,
know
I,
don't
want
people
coming
to
my
area
and
organizing,
but
they
already
have.
L
You
already
have,
and
you
know,
there's
been
people-
that's
coming
and
you're
in
you're.
Right,
it's
cause
nothing
but
divisiveness
in
my
community,
so
you
know
I'm
going
to
be
cautious
when
I
vote
for
anything
like
this
and
and
I
do
want
people
to
have
resources.
I,
don't
know
that
council
is
the
one
who's
supposed
to
be
helping
organizations
I
mean
we
have.
L
We
do
have
a
contract
with
the
bear
Center
for
non-profit
management
to
do
some
of
that
stuff,
and
so,
but
having
said
all
that,
I'm
not
opposed
to
anything
I
really
just
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
I
want
to
read
a
little
bit
more
and
and
I
want
to
have
a
discussion
and
I
really
want
us
to
go
out
into
the
communities
together
with
resources
for
the
for
the
residents.
I.
Think
at
this
point
nobody
wants
to
hear
from
us.
They
don't
want
to
hear
about
another
program.
L
They
don't
want
to
hear
about.
Another
dollar
I
mean
well
some
people
in
here.
If
it's
coming
to
them,
but
I
think
what
people
are
really
tired
of
in
the
city
is
they
want
resources
to
come
to
them
and
they
want
to
know
how
to
get
the
help.
We
have
a
ton
of
help
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
Allegheny
County
there's
help
all
over,
but
nobody
knows
how
to
access
it,
because
it
is
navigating
that
massive.
L
You
know
amount
of
of
help
that
is
out
there
and
when
you
call
2-1-1
that's
one
of
the
things
we
should
be
looking
at.
We
have
a
partnership
with
2-1-1
in
Allegheny
County
and
the
and
the
I
can't
remember
the
name
who
is
it
yeah,
United
Way,
and
we
have
people
that
call
there
and
they'll
call
us
they'll
say
it
was
no
help.
L
It's
no
help
because
I
think
they're
overloaded,
with
the
calls
that
they're
getting
and
maybe
they're
not
staffed
appropriately
we're
trained
properly
I,
don't
know
what
the
issue
is,
but
that's
something
we
need
to
look
at,
because
if
that
is
really
a
resource,
it's
not
really
serving
as
a
resource
to
a
lot
of
residents
that
are
calling
us.
They
may
have
a
number
that
they've,
you
know
helped
this
many
people
or
that
many
people,
but
the
bottom
line
is
I,
can
tell
you
how
many
people
called
my
office
and
said
it
was
not
helpful.
L
So
I
think
it's
helping
people
navigate
all
that
and
I
think.
Sometimes
it's
just
taking
people
right
to
the
people
that
have
that
kind
of
capacity
and
that
kind
of
help
taking
social
workers.
I
I,
don't
know
why
the
social
workers
are
still
not
out
and
from
the
mayor's
office
into
the
community.
I,
don't
know
what
the
that
hold
up
is
but
and
I
know
they've,
given
us
some
feedback
and
some
updates
on
it.
L
But
I
can't
recall:
we've
had
so
much
information
over
the
violence
stuff
over
this
past
few
months,
so
I
just
went
to
the
public
to
know.
City
council
is
trying
a
lot
of
ways
to
try
to
address
this
in
ways
that
are
under
our
jurisdiction
and
things
even
Beyond.
So
I
I
just
think
that
it's
finding
the
right
thing
and
if
they
have
some
ideas,
if
they
have
some
ways
to
you,
know
things
they'd
like
to
see
resources
that
people
need
contact
us.
Let
us
know
what
it
is.
L
We
could
be
doing
differently
and
you
know
I
think
some
of
it
I
think
we're
open
to
some
of
that.
But
Reverend
I
do
want
to
say
I
just
I'm
not
opposed
I'm,
just
not
in
favor,
yet
until
until
I
know
a
little
bit
more
about
how
it
affects
the
community
and
how
it's
different
from
any
other
program
that
we've
done
over
the
past
10
years
and
what
results
are
we
actually
going
to
get
results
this
time?
So
that's
it
for
me.
Thank.
I
Cargill,
thank
you.
Mr
chair
first
I
want
to
congratulate
you
in
the
Westinghouse
Bulldogs.
I
You
know
and
honestly
you
know
a
team
like
that
is
probably
better
for
reducing
violence
and
what
they
achieved
this
year
and
the
pride
you
could
just
see
it
in
their
faces.
Going.
I
J
I
No,
no
really
it's
a
you
know,
true
accomplishment,
and
to
this
day
I
can
name.
Every
teammate
I
have
I've
had
a
good
bit
of
them
were
from
councilman
lavelle's
district
and.
K
I
I
hope
they
do
well
and
represent
us
well
in
the
states
and
looking
forward
to
watching
them,
but
rev
back
to
the
you
know
the
the
community
initiative,
the
four
new
Harry's
that
we
have
are
you
trying
to
just
really
more
Define
what
they
do,
because
I
will
tell
you
this
I've
been
slow
in
figuring
out
how
to
use
them
for
for
me,
but
even
recently,
I've
hit
my
stride
with
a
couple
of
them
and
they've
been
very,
very
helpful
and
I
intend
to
use
them
for
things
that
I
need,
but
and
redefining
this
I,
don't
necessarily
want
them
to
be
pulled
away
from
the
role
that
they
serve
now
with
me.
K
Public
engagement
specialists
were
always
supposed
to
engage
the
public
I've,
not
changed
their
role,
they're
supposed
to
engage
the
public.
They
have
two
ways
in
which
they
do
their
role.
One
way
is
Council
facing
they
provide
capacity
for
counsel
and
I
talked
I.
Think
to
almost
all
the
council
people
when
we
create
these
positions
say:
okay,
what
do
you
think
you
would
need
right,
and
we
talked
about
someone
who
could
facilitate
community
means.
Eric
and
I
talked
about
councilman
Lavelle
talked
about,
you
know,
someone
who
can
who
can
engage
community.
So
we
talked
about
that.
K
So
it's
on
the
council
facing
press
releases
communication
strategy,
all
that
stuff,
so
that's
half
of
their
job,
the
other
half
of
their
job
is
community
facing
right,
they're
supposed
to
engage
the
public
or
all
I'm
doing
the
same
as
they
engage.
The
public
here
are
some
takeaways
that
they
could
do
they're
not
forced
to
do
it
obviously,
but
we
can
give
them
the
capacity
that
why
they're
engaging
the
public.
This
is
the
way
they
engage
the
public
by
providing
ongoing
conversation,
interfacing
Us
in
government
and
providing
them
this
technical
assistance.
K
K
I
was
hoping
counsel
together
to
think
of
this
as
initiative
city-wide
that
we
all
participate
in
right
so
so
and
that
they
have
these
skills
so
that
both
they
know,
that's
their
skill,
so
that
and
I
do
think
and
I
do
believe
and
councilman
gross
may
actually
want
to
be
part
of
the
training.
I
do
think
they're
going
to
need
ongoing
training
right.
We
are.
We
have
another
role
we
can
hire.
K
We
have
another
staff
person
who
left,
and
so
we
could
actually
hire
a
new
person
who
has
those
skills
we
could
the
training
won't
be
that
difficult,
we've
done
some.
We
do
some
more,
but
anyway,
the.
I
Yeah
yeah,
that's
my
intention
and
you
know
I'm
not
opposed
to
what
you're
doing
again
I
just
like
to
utilize
them
in
my
own
way.
I
Be
taken
back
from
what
they're
doing
for
me,
I
do
tend
to
agree
with
council
president
kill
Smith
when
we
do
develop
these
groups,
and
you
know
Define
different.
You
know
cat
to
find
them
in
different
categories.
You
know
so
many
I've
seen
so
many
committees
and
things
have
come
across
this
table.
We're
really
not
too
much
has
happened,
which
you
know
I,
don't
I'm
not
directing
blame
at
anybody
as
to
why
that
is,
but
I
think
it's
kind
of
just
the
nature
of
it.
I
So
yeah
I
will
further
talk
with
you
about
it,
but
I'm
not
opposed
to
what
you're
doing
and
if,
if
it
helps
them,
it
helps
to
find
what
they're
doing
better
and
if
you
could
utilize
them
in
your
neighborhood.
For
those
reasons,
I
could
probably
come
to
terms
with
it
thanks.
Thank
you.
H
Mr,
chair
I
was
really
hoping
to
get
in
earlier
on
this
conversation,
because
I
think
we're
very
close
to
crossing
a
line.
We
we
are
discussing
matters
of
personnel
and
speaking
about
people
and
their
livelihood
as
though
they
are
interchangeable
objects.
I
really
think
this
is
a
much
more
appropriate
conversation
being.
It
is
another
person
now
to
go
into
executive
session
and
if
I
can
get
the
support
of
members.
I
would
call
not
this
moment
in
time,
but
I
really
do
believe.
H
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion.
So
how
long
do
you
want
to
well?
I
just
want
to
say
one
thing
and
then
we'll
certainly
entertain
your
emotion
to
hold,
and
that's
regarding
Madam
president,
you
mentioned
sort
of
initiatives
that
work
and
maybe
we'll
go
into
this
on
Monday
at
the
post
agenda,
but
I
think
it's
worth
pointing
out.
A
The
group
violence,
Intervention
Program
was
working.
We
saw
consecutive
years
of
reduced
gun
violence
in
our
city,
where
I
think
I
think
was
four
years
in
a
row
the
year
prior
to
what
was
that
pandemic?
It
was
19,
so
18
we
saw
an
all-time
low.
The
program
was
working
and
it
was
working
on
a
shoestring
budget
right.
We've
now
fully
funded
it.
However,
as
it
was
working,
we
went
into
a
pandemic.
A
Everyone
was
at
home,
including
the
workers
who
were
doing
the
violence
intervention
and,
unfortunately,
once
you
have
teams
stuck
at
home,
you,
a
number
of
factors
contributed
to
a
Nationwide
problem
that
has
sparked
across
our
cities
regarding
violence,
and
we
have.
We
have
also
not
been
immune
to
that.
We've
been
affected
by
it,
but
at
the
same
time
our
workers
are
now
back
out.
A
We
have,
as
Reverend
outlined
the
various
program
initiatives
in
place
and
so
I
think
that
you're
now
going
to
see
our
numbers
to
begin
going
back
down
so
much
so
that
Reverend,
Burgess
and
I
were
at
a
a
retreat.
This
past
weekend
the
Pittsburgh
black
Collective,
it
was
about
100
of
us
I,
don't
know
of
black
leaders
from
across
the
city
meeting
to
discuss
how
to
improve
black
Pittsburgh
I
was
in
the
Public
Safety
Committee.
Coming
out
of
that
committee.
We
all
had
to
come
up
with
two
outcomes
that
we
wanted
to
see.
A
As
we
talked
about
the
group,
violence,
intervention
work,
the
plan
for
peace
and
the
model
that
was
in
place.
Our
goal
was
because
we
believed
strongly
enough
in
it
that
we
would
reduce
gun
homicides
by
25
percent
in
one
year
is
because
of
how
much
we
believe
in
what
we're
actually
doing
so.
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
the
table
to
say
it
was
working
and
then
the
pandemic
hit
we're
back
at
doing
the
work
and
we're
actually
now
funding
it.
A
L
A
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
one
little
piece
on
the
table:
Reverend
Burgess.
What.
K
What
two
three:
what's
that,
will
the
council?
So
if
I
make
the
motion
Miss
gross
about
how
long
would
you
leave
Mr
Cross,
which
man
president,
how
long
two
three,
how
long?
How
many
weeks
do
you
want
me
to
make
the
most.
H
I'm
sorry,
Mr
chairman
sure
three
weeks
takes
us
right
into
the
Thanksgiving
holiday
week,
which
is
a
double
readings
on
Monday
suggest,
perhaps
to
the
29th,
which
would
be
the
following
Tuesday.
That's.
K
C
A
Aye
any
opposed
the
bill
will
be
held
for
four
weeks.
That
now
takes
us
to
land
use
and
economic
development
committee
chaired
by
councilman
Wilson.
Our
first
deferred
paper
is
Bill
270.
L
No
actually
I
think
we're
supposed
to
hold
it
correct.
Four
weeks
we're
going
to
make
a
motion
to
hold
it
for
four
weeks,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
councilman
Wilson
in
his
office
for
doing
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
this
and
or
so
our
city,
council
solicitor
and
the
Law
Department
upstairs
all
working
together.
But
it's
a
motion
to
hold
for
four
weeks.
A
O
I
know
it
was
the
wish
of
councilman
Wilson
to
hold
both
of
these
bills
for
four
weeks,
so
I'll
motion
to
hold
for
four
weeks.
Second,.
L
A
Aye
aye
any
opposed.
They
will
be
held
four
weeks
that
takes
us
to
intergovernmental
Affairs
committee,
chair
by
councilwoman
gross
first
deferred
papers,
Bill
641.,.
F
Motion
to
pre-brief
discussion,
we've
been
I,
did
get
emails
with
some
suggested
Amendment
language,
but
I
don't
have
it
ready
for
today,
councilwoman
Smith
I'll
defer
to
you
yeah.
L
No
I,
just
I,
don't
know
I
didn't
know
if
the
solicitor
had
anything
to
say
just
briefly,
do
we
need
to
hold
or
did
you
is
it
all?
Okay,.
F
I
would
prefer
to
share
it
with
you,
councilwoman,
okay,
and
we
could
talk
about
it
after
today's
meeting.
So.
F
A
Aye
any
opposed
they'll
be
held
two
weeks
that
takes
us
to
Bill
843.

public

on
Bill

and

relative
to
the
Carnegie
Mellon
University
institutional

Is
there
anything
from
members
councilman
gross.
F
Yes,
I
would
like
to
a
motion
to
hold
an
update
for
Council
for
a
post
agenda
on
Child,
Care
funding
and
programs.
We
haven't
talked
about
it
for
a
while
at
Council,
but
before
covid
we've
moved
several
packages
of
money,
a
two
million
dollar
allocation
that
we
saw.
If
you'll
recall,
we
did
The
Cooperative
agreement
twice,
I
think
and
we
have
haven't,
had
an
update
since
covet
happened
and
then,
secondly,
right
before
covet.
F
Also
in
December
of
2019,
you
might
remember:
I
had
a
budget
amendment
to
move
to
250
000
to
the
Ura
for
child
care,
micro
lending
and
then
in
the
course
of
the
pandemic.
We've
entered
the
pandemic
and
PNC
wanted
to
give
the
Ura
funding
for
small
businesses
and
because
PNC
also
has
a
particular
interest
in
child
care
and
early
childhood.
They
allocated
1.5
million
dollars
specifically
for
child
care
support
at
the
Ura.
So
that's
1.75
million.
F
A
L
Just
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
that
back
up.
It
was
the
women's
caucus
who
initially
moved
that
funding
and
it
seemed
like
it
was
so
long
ago
that
we
first
did
it,
but
were
you
not
hearing,
but
you
did
the
following
year?
You
got
involved
with
it
right,
yeah,
I
can't
remember,
but
anyway,
I
just
want
to
say
it's
such
a
big
issue
in
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
In
right
now,
I
wish
we
would
work
with
the
school
district
to
open
up
some
quality
after
school
programs,
and
they
do
have
the
they
do.
F
And
they
start
at
three
four
Head
Start,
but
we
even
have
pressure.
You
know
we
know
that
moms
are
leaving
the
workforce.
We
know
that
our
poorest
households
are
really
struggling
even
in
the
zero
to
three
right.
So
even
if
you've
got
an
infinite
home,
as
many
of
us
know,
it's
really
tough
to
find
any
place.
Yeah.
L
But
even
us
we
have
facilities
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
We
should
be
looking
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
put
some
quality
program
in
I'm
just
going
to
say,
because
that's
part
of
what's
wrong
with
our
kids.
Some
of
our
kids
aren't
in
quality
programming
and
so
I
mean
be
one
just
another.
Another
effort
in
that
in
that
area
and
some
do
an
amazing
job
I,
do
want
to
say
that
too.
A
K
So
I
will
say
this
publicly:
I
saw
them
two
as
superintendent
we've
been
doing
other
things.
The
council
passed
legislation
to
create
a
City
School
Board
partnership.
We
have
Miss
gross.
We
have
Teresa
who
myself,
who
have
these
ideas
around
education?
We
have
City
facilities.
We
have
City
resources
that
are
not
integrated
with
the
public
schools.
K
In
fact,
in
my
in
the
same
Retreat
that
councilman
Lavelle
talked
about,
one
of
the
sub
conversations
of
our
group
was
how
frustrating
it
was
for
them
to
partner
with
the
public
schools
how
difficult
it
was
for
them
to
get
access
to
the
schools
to
this
principles,
and
so
I
believe
that
it's
really
important
that
the
city
not
just
and
I,
think
the
mayor
and
the
superintendent
have
a
great
relationship
but
I.
Think
the
mayor
by
himself
is
not
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
I.
Think
that
you
need
all
of
its
elected
officials.
K
I
think
you
need
to
merge
us
in
a
communicative
way,
so
that
we're
working
really
close
together.
There's
no
reason
why
a
young
person
who
leaves
Westinghouse
and
goes
to
one
of
our
rec
centers
doesn't
have
the
support
at
the
rec
center.
That's
that's
con.
That
also
has
communicated
with
his
school
needs
right
and
we
can
we.
This
has
been
done
across
the
country.
California
has
led
this
model
of
school,
City,
Partnerships
and
so
I'm,
going
to
talk
to
superintendent
directly
about
implementing
the
partnership.
K
I
think
the
the
pre
The
Early
Childhood
initiative,
stuff
I,
think
you
know.
Teresa
spent
her
life
with
a
lot
part
of
her
life
of
parent
engagement
and
parental
support.
You
know
we
we
talk
about.
It
takes
a
whole
community
where
we
have
to
model
what
a
community
looks
like
and
if
we
can't
do
it,
if
we
the
people
responsible
for
their
for
the
families
together,
you
know
they
have
them
nine
to
three.
K
And
so
that's
that's
that's
my
that's
my
soapbox
again
for
a
second
when
I
was
so
blocks
a
day,
but
I
will
I
talked
to
superintendent
today,
I'm
going
to
schedule
a
meeting
with
him
and
I'm
going
to
I've
already
talked,
of
course,
to
the
school
board
and
I
I.
Think
it's
it's
important
that
we
now
come
together
for
the
good
of
these
kids.
A
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
I
am
looking
at
the
notes
from
the
meeting
that
councilwoman
Smith
president
Smith
after
she
created
that
task
force
that
we're
on
that
we
had
on
July
16th
at
PPS,
with
the
superintendent
with
their
solicitor
with
their
intergovernmental
affairs,
with
Chief
Wheatley
from
the
mayor's
office.
The
mayor
was
detained
on
the
road
from
Harrisburg,
where
he
was
lobbying
on
our
behalf
for
resources
for
the
city
and
councilwoman.
Smith
led
us
into
discussion
about
how
we
share
resources
and
create
that
partnership.
F
F
The
mayor
has
had
a
wonderful
press
conference
a
month
or
so
ago
about
collaborating
with
PPS
on
Workforce
initiatives
and
so
we'll
be
working
with
high
school
residents
and
internships
there
in
in
the
city
government,
our
our
PPS
board
member
and
the
intergovernmental
Affairs
director
for
PPS
Devin
taliafera
worked
talked
about
how
we
should
combine
issues
on
kind
of
data
and
assessment,
because
we
do
our
own
data
and
studies
across
neighborhoods
PPS.
F
It
doesn't
really
share
with
us
what
their
data
and
analytics
say
about
City,
kids
and
where
they
live,
and
we
talked
about
those
issues,
councilwoman,
Smith,
I'm,
sorry
I've
got
the
notes
in
front
of
me
councilwoman.
So
if
you
don't
mind
talked
about
how
we
should
do
exactly
what
you're
now
talking
about,
but
we
were
talking
about
it
in
July.
Creating
a
discussion
about
where
there
are
safe
places.
F
I
think
is
the
vocabulary
that
used
at
the
time
in
my
notes,
Forest
facilities,
whether
they're
City
facilities,
PPS
facilities
and
where
are
the
gaps
and
where
can
we
fill
those
in
with
programming
I
suggested
kind
of
on
that
line
that
we
do
an
inventory
of.
F
We
already
have
inventory
the
kind
of
physical,
like
conditions
and
deferred
maintenance
of
our
facilities,
but
we
could
layer
on
top
of
that
City
facilities,
whether
it's
a
Dugout
at
a
baseball
field
or
it's
an
empty
Rec
Center
or
it's
football
fields,
all
of
the
kinds
of
facilities
that
we
track
under
DPW
and
look
and
see
where
we
have
those
assets
that
are
perhaps
closed
assets
or
that
need
to
be
restored.
But
we
don't
layer,
we
haven't
yet
layered
it
over
top
of
the
school
district's
assets
and
it
doesn't
stop
which
is
rec
centers
right.
F
There
are
certified
County
Health
kitchens
at
some
places
and
not
others.
There
are
swimming
pools
that
some
places
are
not
others.
We
talked
about
that
and
and
then
my
notes
kind
of
cut
off,
because
this
is
a
photo
of
my
handwritten
notes.
So
I've
got
them
back
in
my
office,
but
we
rectangular
Fields
is
a
big
one
that
we
were
just
talking
about
recently
with
Dynamo
soccer
right.
F
L
L
Maybe
we
should
have
a
meeting
with
our
County
Council
and
if
not
all
of
them
at
least
their
leadership,
and
maybe,
if
it's
the
county,
exec
Rich
Fitzgerald,
the
mayor,
you
know
his
his
top
staff
members
and
with
or
some
of
our
state
leadership
and
and
just
try
to
figure
out
what's
best
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
and
how
we
can
all
work
together
a
little
bit
better.
O
I
So
so
I
will
support
any
which
way
we
can
get
in
and
deal
with,
the
school
district
and
school
board
and
the
kids
I'm
for
it,
no
matter
how
we
get
there,
it's
vital
to
the
future
of
the
city,
I
believe.
So,
thanks.
