The
outdoor
inclusion
coalition
gear
library
will
provide
gear
and
outdoor
recreation
training
for
both
young
people
and
their
mentors
through
urban
camping.
The
gear
library
and
training
programs
will
make
a
difference
in
advancing
equity
and
inclusion
in
outdoor
spaces
in
pittsburgh,
when
the
student
conservation
association
asks
its
young
employees
our
high
school
employees.
What
is
your
most
memorable
moment
of
your
work
season?
E
E
The
sca
can
afford
to
do
this
because
it's
built
into
our
budget,
and
we
know
that
the
benefits
outweigh
the
costs,
having
access
to
camping
without
needing
transportation
or
ax
or
gear
or
a
large
budget,
is
something
that
should
be
afforded
to
organizations
and
families
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Who
may
otherwise
not
be
able
to
have
this
experience.
E
E
F
F
I'm
the
founder
of
the
outdoor
inclusion
coalition,
which
is
stated
before,
which
is
a
collective
of
100
organizations
spanning
governmental,
for-profit
and
the
non-profit
sector
that
collaborate
to
support
the
push
to
make
the
outdoor
industry
more
inclusive
and
equitable
through
policy
mentorship
and
accessibility.
F
F
The
movement
for
outdoor
representation
and
exploration
starts
locally,
though,
as
a
community
as
a
state
and
as
an
industry.
If
the
vision
is
to
see
a
more
historically
marginalized
individuals,
recreating
that
must
start
to
localize
initiatives
that
expand
the
opportunities
for
residents
to
have
a
first
and
a
long-term
experience
engaging
with
the
outdoors
upon
the
passage
of
ordinance,
2022
2022-0369.
F
The
outdoor
inclusion
coalition
will
have
the
ability
to
to
collaborate
further
with
city
representatives
and
community
residents
to
address
the
largest
barriers
to
camping,
which
include
quality
gear
educational,
how
to
utilize
such
equipment
and
proximity
to
campsites
through
community
participation.
We
believe
that
this
opportunity
will
further
facilitate
a
greater
appreciation
for
our
shared
natural
amenities
and
the
natural
curiosity
for
children
and
families
to
utilize
the
vast
array
of
recreational
amenities
in
not
only
pittsburgh
but
the
commonwealth
of
pennsylvania.
F
G
Good
morning
my
name
is
valerie
beekner
and
I'm
the
president
and
ceo
of
venture
outdoors,
located
at
317
east
carson
street
I'd
like
to
thank
councilman
wilson
for
introducing
ordinance
2022-0369,
aiming
to
amend
city
code
to
allow
for
camping
in
public
parks.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
entire
council
for
their
consideration
of
such
an
important
topic.
G
G
Our
organization
has
had
the
honor
of
creating
over
eight
hundred
thousand
outdoor
experiences
alongside
one
hundred
dedicated
volunteers,
introducing
participants
to
a
cadre
of
events
such
as
kayaking
canoeing,
fishing,
climbing
caving,
hiking
and
more
core
to
our
mission
as
a
non-profit
and
to
all
programming
and
experiences
with
venture
outdoors
is
equity
in
the
outdoor
industry,
while
outdoor
places
and
spaces
are
created
for
all
many
members
of
the
community
remain
alienated
and
feel
unwelcome
our
work
to
change
that
is
core
to
our
mission
and
a
focus
of
our
partners.
In
this
space.
G
A
2017
scientific
review
in
the
journal
of
pediatric
nursing
found
that
access
to
green
space
was
associated
with
improved
mental
well-being,
overall
health
and
cognitive
development
of
children.
It
promotes
attention
restoration
memory,
competence,
self-discipline,
improves
adhd
and
was
even
associated
with
higher
standardized
test
scores.
The
benefits
time
spent
in
nature
are
endless,
however.
Not
every
child
can
experience.
These
benefits
studies
conclude
that
environmental
injustice
affects
the
lives
of
children
from
public
schools
in
urban
contexts,
who
reported
less
contact
with
nature
during
lockdown.
G
We
recognize
that
pittsburgh
can
be
a
model
for
additional
cities
in
an
effort
to
create
pathways
for
exploration,
beginning
with
urban
camping.
This
is
particularly
important
as
localized
recreation
initiatives
play
a
vital
role
in
the
exploration
of
natural
resources
across
the
commonwealth
of
pennsylvania,
public
lands
and
national
parks.
I
sincerely
thank
you
for
your
time
and
look
forward
to
seeing
you
outdoors.

longevity
is
positively
correlated
with

who
move
daily

live
longer,
so
come
move
with
us
via
the
rondos,
which
I
founded
the
dance

group
that
fuses
bhuto,
angoma,
samba
and
flamenco.

longevity
is
positively
correlated
with
low

density.
Thin
people
live
longer,
so
come
eat
with
us.
It's

a
suggestion
from
me:
high
butyrate,
small
framed
portions
proteins,
carbohydrates,
fats
mix,
1500
calories
a
day.
This
is
like
a
japanese
influence,
diet.
H
They
live
the
longest
in
the
world
and
they're.
Also
very
short
number.
Four.
Longevity
is
positively
correlated
with
shortness
of
stature
and
intelligence.
The
fox
03
gene
correlates
with
that
shorter
humans
live
longer
than
taller.
Shorter
means
less
cellular
mass
fewer
cells
to
go
wrong
via
epigenetic
dna
mutation,
shorter
means
less
skeletal,
ligamental
joint
strain
over
time.
I'm
a
short
guy.
H
You
know
it's
an
evolutionary
advantage.
Jesus
was
probably
four
feet:
six
five
feet
tall
for
beethoven.
I
am
a
short
supremacist
who
wants
to
be
tall
well.
I
My
name
is
yvonne,
f
brown.
I
live
in
the
hill
district
715
mercer
street.
I
first
want
to
start
off
yesterday
that
I
want
to
apologize.
I
If
I
said
the
n-word,
which
I
the
sergeant-at-arms
told
me
that
that's
considered
a
cuss
word
it's
in
the
dictionary
and
I
was
not
calling
anybody.
I
said
my
father
taught
me
what
a
and
said
the
word,
but
I
usually
just
use
the
n-word.
I
was
explaining
to
you
against
about
my
grandchildren,
I'm
trying
to
let
you
know.
I
I
teach
them
how
they're
supposed
to
respect
when
they
come
here
and
anywhere
else,
and
they
think
that
the
n-word
is
a
cuss
word,
because
we
do
not
say
it
and
as
far
as
swearing,
sometimes
I
hear
them.
The
tvs
on
and
the
babies
are
watching
tv
and
I
might
hear
a
swear
word
I
go
in
and
she
I
said
turn
it
turn
it.
She
said.
Auntie
said
we
can
hear
it,
but
we
can't
say
it
now.
I
I'm
telling
you
I
come
down
because
there
is
a
problem
down
here
and
yesterday
I'm
telling
you
I
protest.
Miss
smith
was
wrong
when
she
hit
the
gavel
when
they
hit
the
level
he
has
to
stop
talking,
and
you
can
see.
I
was
surprised.
I
said
what
what
you
are
you
cutting
me
off,
I
said
enter
n-I-g-r
said
the
word
and
they're
saying
it's.
I
We
call
it
nigeria
in
the
country,
they
call
it,
they
call
their
cousin
and
see.
What's
getting
me
is
that
you
just
don't
understand.
I've
been
coming
here,
20
something
years,
and
they
ain't
got
so
that
I
can't
even
speak.
I
can
walk
through
here,
mr
the
president
used
to
be
krauts.
I'm
talking
to
the
veterans,
I'm
handing
the
crippled
man
with
no
legs
the
agenda.
I
said
this
is
something
this
is
brown.
I'm
running
the
meeting
I
said
leave
me
alone.
I'm
telling
you
this
is
something
and
my
husband
said.
I
Let
me
tell
you
something
my
husband
hated
me
coming
down
here.
He
said
you're
going
down
there,
arguing
with
them
white
men,
but
the
other
day
when
I
went
in
this
room,
he
said
yvonne.
I've
been
watching
the
g,
it's
about
the
government.
He
said
he
fought
when
you
got
going
down
here
and
telling
them
that's
what
the
man
said.
This
is
our
this
is
my
country.
We
make
the
laws
we
the
people
you're
supposed
to
listen
to
us.
You
don't
know
you
don't
not
in
my
community.
You
would
not
know
what's
happening.
I
Why
can't
we
come
down
and
tell
you,
but
when
I
come
and
miss
harris
miss
miss
smith
and
I
one
time
I
said
I
love
her
and
I
do
but
I'm
looking
at
her
she's
treating
me
just
as
bad
as
someone
especially
this
big,
yellow
man,
mr
burgess
and
I
hate
to
do
that.
But
when
I
look
at
him
he
said
my
baby
can't
five
years
old
is
not
the
time
and
place
she's
been
coming
and
speaking
all
these
years
she
watched
city
council.
She
knows
she
can
speak.
A
J
Hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
flora,
I'm
an
evangelist,
and
I
love
everyone.
I'm
an
I'm
an
82
year
old
lady.
I
live
in
a
senior
citizen.
We
have
no
security,
I
just
don't
know
where
to
go,
but
if
someone
would
just
speak
that
word
to
a
right
person
and
get
it
out
in
the
atmosphere
that
we
don't
have
to
live
in
fear,
this
woman
was
83
years
old.
J
J
K
So
if
you
were
to
give
me
your
information,
mostly
in
our
senior
citizen
buildings,
we
are
replacing
security
guards
with
video.
So
if
you
give
me
your
name
and
information,
though
I'll
give
you
if
clerks
just
make
sure
I
get
who
you
are
and
we'll
find
out
who's
managing
your
building,
because
you're
absolutely
right.
My
sister
thank.
J
A
If
none
that
moves
us
on
to
our
sending
committee's
agenda,
our
first
committee
of
the
day
is
finance
and
law,
which
is
chaired
by
myself.
Our
first
deferred
paper
is
bill.

L
B
A
B
B
358
resolution
authorizing
an
inter-departmental
transfer
in
the
amount
of
260
thousand
dollars
from
personnel
salaries
and
wages.
Department
of
public
works,
bureau
of
operations,
two
personnel
salaries
and
wages
department
of
public
works
bureau
of
environmental
services.
This
transfer
is
necessary
to
allow
for
the
hiring
of
15
seasonal,
part-time
loaders
to
assist
refuge
collection
services.
L
C
I
just
I
see
the
directors
here
and
I
just
didn't
know
if
I
could
just
get
understanding.
Is
this
just
something
typically
that
we
do
every
year
or
is
it
unique
to
this
year.
M
Chris
hornstein
director
of
public
works
not
unique
to
unique
to
this
year
under
evaluation
moving
forward.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
background.
M
The
bureau
of
environmental
services
has
in
the
department
of
public
works,
has
the
highest
incidence
of
employee
injury
and
lost
time,
and
so
you
know
when
we
looked
at
historic
staffing
levels
they've
been
higher
than
they
were
previously
for
permanent
positions,
and
we
feel
that
because
when,
when
those
were
reduced,
it's
actually
caused
us
to
work
more
over
time
and
then,
which
is
resulting
in
more
injuries,
we're
still
exploring
all
that
safety
information,
but
as
a
way
to
mitigate
that
as
an
experiment.
A
L
L
C
Thank
you.
You
know
I.
I
assume
that
this
would
be
part
of
the
rollout
plan
for
the
lead
safety
law,
and
I
think
we
have
what
patrick
cornell's
here.
B
N
D
N
So
initially
there
is
two
million
dollars
approved
as
part
of
the
american
rescue
plan
from
last
summer
that
allocation
that
we
have
structured
in
such
a
way
that
those
funds
can
be
used
into
this
trust
fund
to
pay
for
things
related
to
the
lead
safety
ordinance.
Director
kinter
has
things
lined
up
with
training
for
general
contractors.
That'll
be
the
first
thing
to
really
move
out
of
this.
That
legislation
should
be
coming
in
soon
and
then
beyond
that.
It's
just
things
you
know,
as
as
referenced
in
this
legislation.
L
Okay,
it's
not
necessarily
earmarked
for
anything
in
particular
other
than
you
know
the
contractors
I'll
be
taking
the
course
myself,
but
so
so
it's
two
million
dollars
and
as
far
as
the
helping
the
contractors
or
educating
the
contractors
is
that
what
we're
doing
yes,
okay,
okay!
Is
it
all
to
be
used
for
that
or
we
just.
N
No
there
so
there
are
other.
There
are
other
other
approved
sources
as
in
this
pending
piece,
I
expect
dpw
will
have
to
do
some
remediation
work,
maybe
in
city-owned
facilities
that
would
be
an
allowable
expense
as
well.
Okay,.
A
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation
that
takes
us
to
our
invoices.
We
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
invoices.
Second,
any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
all
right.
Any
opposed
permissive
recommendation
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
p
cards
so.

I
see
chief

here
is:
it:
is
this
part
of
just
some
of
the
the
money
that
we're
continuing
to
get
from
the
federal
government.
O

O
Romano

C
And
you
said
this
is
so
this
isn't
for
to
reimburse
us
for
like
supplies
we
use
throughout.
O
No,
no,
it
could
be.
There
was
some
there
were
certain
different
categories
that
you
could
use
it
for
and
right
now,
how
in
our
list
is
to
just
put
it
toward
the
construction.
The

the

holding.
Allow
me
to
hold
the

until
we
had
our

was
last

so
it
was
a
good
conversation.
You
know.

Essentially,
we
came
together
with
neighborhoods
that
were

be
affected
by
this,
and
ultimately,
the
whole
city
will
be
affected
by
sorry
I'll
speak
into
the
mic,
be
affected
by
double
stack
trains
going
through
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
so
my
office
councilman
lavelle's
office
and
then
also
mayor
gainey
in
his
office.
We
came
together
with
the
community
last
night
to
have
a
public
discussion
about
what
the
next
steps
are
and
really
what
does
vote
what
this
vote
means
today.
C
So
you
know
for
the
past
two
years,
there's
been
three
community
groups
that
have
been
in
you
know
in
coordination,
also
with
the
city
domi
and
also
our
law
department,
we're
in
mediation
with
the
railroad
north
folk
southern
for
the
past
two
years,
and
so
this
is
essentially.
C
So,
unfortunately,
for
the
past
years
it's
been
in
mediation,
so
there
wasn't
that
opportunity.
So
now
that
we
have
that
opportunity,
we
were
able
to
go
through
some
of
the
some
of
the
details
of
of
what
this
means
and
then
also
what's
to
come.
So,
for
instance,
what
the
design
of
the
bridge
would
look
like.
You
know
two
bridges
and
then
also
we're
able
to
discuss
some
of
the
you
know
some
of
the
details
of
of
what
comes
out
of
the
of
the
mediation
and
what
the
community
groups
are
are
walking
away
with.
C
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone,
especially
the
community
groups,
that
fought
hard
against
the
railroad.
I
mean
it's
it's
not
every
day
you
see
that
local
community
groups
are
taking
the
railroad
to
task
on.
You
know
how
it's
going
to
impact
their
community
and
so
really
to
to
see
this
all
play
out
where
the
community
is
is
walking
away
with.
You
know
a
substantial
amount
of
of
you
know
a
fund,
that's
going
to
be
created
dollars
actually
going
into
the
fund
and
also
a
historic
pedestrian
bridge.
C
Besides,
you
know
the
the
the
the
bridges
that
need,
the
repairs
or
the
full
replacement,
which
is
the
western
north
avenue
bridge
and
also
the
pennsylvania
bridge,
they're
also
undercutting
underneath
the
merchant
street
bridge.
But
you
know
this
is
something
the
city
fought
years
ago
and
the
puc
you
know
struck
it
down
said
no.
You
know
this
essentially,
no.
C
This
is
this:
is
state
law
that
bridges
have
to
be
22
feet
to
allow
for
double
stack
trains,
city
lost,
and
we
you
know,
thankfully,
the
the
community
group
stepped
in
as
well
and
said
no
like
we're
the
people
who
live
here.
This
is
this
is
going
to
impact
us,
so
I
did
have
one
more
detail.
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about,
oh,
which
is
the
state.
C
They
also
received
state
grant
funding
for
20
million
dollars
for
this
vertical
clearance
project,
so
the
city
does
that
does
own
the
bridge
after
norfolk,
southern
all
bridges
after
norfolk
southern
replaces
them
the
pedestrian
and
also
the
two
west
north
and
also
pennsylvania.
C
So
you
know
this
is
still
something
that
we're
gonna
still
be
looking
for
to
the
state
for
in
terms
of
funding
50
years
down
the
road
when
we
need
you
know
money
to
do
some
of
these
critical
repairs
to
the
to
these
bridges.
So
you
know
it's
not
something.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
not
something
that
you
know.
Any
of
us
was
looking
forward
to
happening,
but
in
terms
of
the
best
case
scenario,
this
is
this
is
a
good
one
that
the
the
community
really.
C
L
C
C
L
D
F
C
Million
for
the
vertical
clearance
project,
and
also
it's
state
law
for
the,
so
the
puc
is
looking
to
the
direction
of
the
state.
For
this
we're
also,
you
know
federal
federal
law
mandates.
You
know
the
railroad
or
allows
a
railroad
to
even
bypass
certain
rules
that
everyday
citizens
have
to
follow,
and
local
municipalities
have
to
follow.
P
P
I
just
want
to
know
if
we
can
get
a
list
of
who's
on
the
puc
and
who
appointed
them,
because
I
mean
there's
been
several
things
that
we've
seen
our
rates
increase
for
our
residents
with
water,
electric
gas,
everything,
and
here
we
have
a
democratic
governor
and
I'd
just
like
to
know
who
actually
is
appointing
them
if
these
are
people
left
over
from
previous
administrations.
Thank
you.
A
Any
further
discussion,
if
not,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor's
office
for
their
participation
yesterday,
lashon
bernfault
for
her
leadership
and
councilman
wilson
for
your
leadership
on
this
over
the
last
few
months.
So
thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,.
D
A
P
D
P
A
C
Thank
you.
So
I
just
wanted
to
start
off
by
thanking
the
outdoor
coalition.
It
was
nice
to
to
hear
from
from
you
today
during
public
comment,
but
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
step
back
and
talk
about
my
own
little
camping
experience
or
almost
camping
experience.
C
But
whenever
I
was
this
reminds
me
when
I
was
like,
I
think
I
was
in
first
grade
my
my
parents,
like
you're
gonna,
go
hiking
and
they
dressed
me
up
and
all
this
like
camo
gear,
and
I
had
like
a
canteen
and
there's
a
picture
I
should
have
brought
today,
but
we
hiked-
we
probably
just
liked,
like
one
trail
in
riverview,
but
it
was
like
you
know.
The
idea
of
like
we're
gonna
go
into
the
woods
and
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
walk
through
this
trail.
We're
gonna
have
a
good
time.
C
You
know
my
dad
took
me
through
it,
but
it
was
just
like
you
know.
As
a
youngster,
it
was
just
so
incredible
and
those
are
memories
that
I
still
have
and
then
I
you
know
I
continued
on
and
and
did
some
stuff
outdoors
and
did
a
little
bit
of
the
appalachian
trail
with
my
sisters.
C
I
did
like
a
couple
weeks,
and
I'm
just
thinking
about
you-
know
learning
about
this
recently
and
just
how
we
can
expand
on
that
and
do
something
locally
and
specific
to
our
youth
and
how
we
can
not
only
just
you
know,
have
those
teachable
moments,
but
also
that
you
know
that
camaraderie
or
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
you
learn
when
you're
not
only
doing
it
yourself,
but
also
as
a
group
activity,
and
so
I
just
think
this
is
the
type
of
you
know,
legislation
that
I
want
to
be
involved
with
and
that's
why,
when
I,
when
I
initially
heard
about
this
coalition
and
friends
review
park,
met
with
me
regarding,
you
know,
regards
to
this,
and
you
know,
director
of
argus
has
been
you
know,
instrumental
and
especially
the
way
she
see.
C
You
know
she
sees
her
department
playing
a
role,
and
you
know
I
just
think
this
is
a
a
great
opportunity
for
for
our
youth
to
get
involved
in
outdoors,
and
you
know
I
want
to
allow
director
of
argus.
Do
you
want
to
make
comment?
It'd
be
great
to
hear
from
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Wilson-
and
I
first
want
to
echo
the
thanks
of
the
outdoor
inclusion
coalition,
who.
C
Q
A
year
from
now,
you.
Q
My
name
is
catherine
vargas,
I'm
the
director
of
the
department
of
parks
and
recreation,
and
first
I
did
want
to
quickly
thank
the
outdoor
inclusion
coalition.
This
has
been
a
conversation
for
about
a
year
now,
where
we've
been
talking
about
what
it
means
to
create
more
equitable
access
to
recreation
experiences
in
parks.
Q
You
know
we
might
be
changing
a
word
in
code
that
allows
for
us
to
explore
this
in
the
future.
But
when
I
think
about
it,
we
could
be
changing
the
life
of
a
young
person
who
realizes
how
much
they
love
the
outdoors
and
actually
it
helps
determine
you
know
what
they
want
to
do
for
their
career
and
their
future.
Q
It's
a
really
important
relationship
to
be
developed,
and
you
know
right
now.
If
you
want
to
go
camping,
you
do
have
to
do
what
joanna
had
explained
earlier:
it's
not
the
most
accessible
activity.
Q
This
will
make
it
something
that
will
be
accessible
for
young
people
to
really
experience
and
really
just
change
the
way
that
our
our
parks
can
be
used
in
that
way,
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
the
law
department
has
been
really
helpful
in
this.
The
way
that
the
code
is
being
written
is
very
specific
to
testing
this
out.
It
is
not
you
know,
everyone
can
go
camp
now,
it's
very
specific
to
how
do
we
look
at
piloting
campaigning
in
our
parks?
Q
What
does
it
mean,
and
how
do
we
do
that
in
partnership
with
others
and
specifically
around
the
concept
of
making
sure
young
people
have
this
exposure
to
to
the
outdoors?
So
I'm
excited
about
it?
I'm
excited
to
be
a
part
of
it,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
councilman
for
his
support
and
again
the
community
partners
that
brought
this
to
our
attention,
our
department's
attention
about
a
year
ago.
So
it's
been,
it's
been
a
great
partnership.
Thank
you.
C
Great
thank
you.
I
also
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity.
If
someone
from
the
coalition
would
like
to
to
speak
about
this,
maybe
whenever
it
does,
there
is
an
entry
point
for
people
to
sign
up
or-
or
you
know,
also
to
talk
about
the
sign
up,
the
the
gear
lending
library
and
how
that
plays
a
part
in
camping.
E
Yeah,
that's
great
joanna
lemon.
I
work
for
the
student
conservation
association
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
outdoor
inclusion
coalition.
So
the
way
that
we
have
this
structured
is
a
way
that's
modeled
around
the
country
with
this
national
movement,
and
so
we
would
have
a
gear
library,
think
of
it.
As
a
library.
The
gear
is
free,
it's
surrounded
really.
E
Basically,
in
one
of
the
parks,
riverview
is
the
park
that
we're
looking
at
first
for
this
camping
experience
to
take
place,
and
so
once
they
successfully
complete
the
outdoor
leadership,
training
they're
approved
to
take
out
the
gear.
They
would
then
work
with
the
city
to
and
us
to
get
this
permit
to
to
go
out
and
camp,
and
our
staff
in
the
coalition
would
be
available
to
assist
them
through
this
process
and
through
their
camping
trip.
All
right.
E
E
L
I
think
it
sounds
great.
You
know
to
to
open
up
our
parks
to
children
who
really
don't
have
the
ability
to
travel
100
miles
north
and
camp.
Like
I
did
when
I
was
a
kid
I
had
my
own
camping
stories.
You
know,
I
think,
some
of
the
best
things
I've
learned
in
life
life
was
from
camping
and
being
in
the
woods
with
my
brothers
concern
I
have
is
camping,
is
not
camping
without
a
campfire.
L
Is
there
campfires
or
is
it
going
to
be
permitted
for
with
the
permits
to
have
a
little
campfire,
or
I
mean
what's
camping
without
s'mores
director?
Well.
Q
That
is
something
actually
we're
still
working
through
the
details
with
the
law
department
about
we
have
permitted
at
like
there's.
We
have
spaces
in
the
city
parks
where
you
actually
can
have
like
barbecue
grill,
that
kind
of
activity.
Q
So
you
know
those
are
kind
of
things
that
we'd
be
looking
at
similar
model
for
the
areas
that
would
be
designated
for
this,
but
you
know
so
it's
still.
I
think
what
this
legislation
does
is
gives
us
the
ability
to
move
forward
with
the
poli.
You
know
it
even
outlines
that
we
will
be
creating
policy
and
working
through
written
agreement,
so
that
will
likely
come
forward
to
your
table
again.
Q
The
written
agreement
to
allow
this
to
happen
and
we're
already
kind
of
working
at
that,
and
that
will
have
like
more
of
those
details
in
there.
But
it's
certainly
a
conversation
and
definitely
something
that
we
have
discussed
yeah.
L
Q
And
there's
a
potential
role
for
them
too.
So
we've
had
you
know
this
has
been
a
multi-department
conversation.
Of
course,
public
works
as
well,
and
one
of
the
issues
that
we're
still
working
through
is
that
is
that
one
that
you
mentioned
yeah.
Q
To
do
it
in
a
safe
and
responsible
way.
L
Of
course-
and
I
love
what
you're
doing
you
know,
I
love
your
openness
to
this.
That
councilman
wilson
has
proposed,
and
also
the
city
farms
that
I'm
councilwoman
gross,
and
I
propose
to
you
so
so.
I
really
like,
where
you're
going
with
the
department.
So
thank
you
for
your
involvement
with
that,
and
I
guess
there's
language
in
the
in
the
permitting
as
to
making
sure
they
clean
up
after
themselves.
Q
Yes,
so
that
is
definitely
part
of
the
conversation
around
what
the
mou
will
entail.
It'll
include
sort
of
roles
and
responsibilities
for
every
party
involved
right.
L
I'm
familiar
with
riverview
and
you
got
some
wooded
areas,
it's
very,
very
beautiful.
Would
this?
Would
we
limit
that
to
parks
like
riverview
or
say,
for
instance,
my
moor
park
yeah,
we
have
a
field
and
you
know
would
somebody
want
to
camp
out
in
the
field?
Would
we
permit
that
or
is
that
judged
by
case-by-case
spaces.
Q
So
part
of
this
opportunity
is
really
to
pilot
what
this
looks
like
and
how
it
works,
and
you
know
there
is
the
the
opportunity
for
a
concept
like
this
to
grow
and
it
would
be
done
in
partnership,
and
I
think
what
this
is.
A
good
model
is
of
community
members.
Q
You
know
things
like
noise
things
that
might
you
know
impact
residents.
We
would
those
are
things
that
actually
make.
You
know
something
like
this
more
possible,
so
we'd
have
to
be.
You
know
that
that's
why,
in
the
in
the
legislation,
it's
written
in
a
way
where
we
can
actually
be
selective
about
what
makes
the
most
sense
and
we
would
have
to
work
with
you
know,
community
members
and
you
know
making
sure
we
have
everyone's
support
before
growing
this.
Q
One
of
the
things
I
do
want
to
mention,
though,
is
that
you
know
you
think
about
things
like
the
greenways
which
we
just
turned
into
parks.
You
know.
J
Q
Potential
in
a
lot
of
different
ways,
but
we
would
also
make
sure
that
we
were
doing
that
in
partnership.
So
what
this
allows
us
to
do
right
now
is
pilot.
Each
thing
that
would
happen
would
have
its
own
written
agreement,
rules
and
responsibilities.
All
of
the
nitty
gritty
details
in
there
and
those
would
all
still
come
forward
to
council
to
review
and
approve.
L
L
And
I
would
assume
you
know
if
it's
underprivileged
children
that
are,
you
know,
looking
to
spend
a
few
nights
in
the
woods
that
we
have
somebody
maybe
pick
up
that
fee
or
we
we
can
give
them
help
in
some
which
way
this.
Q
Is
certainly
part
of
the
connection
to
the
organizations
that
are
part
of
getting
the
kids
and
adult
mentors
trained
in
this?
Yes,
it
would
definitely
be
the
kind
of
situation
where
it'd
be
similar
to
how
we
permit
for
other
youth
oriented
activities.
We
are
looking
at
that.
L
P
Thank
you.
Well,
I
actually
grew
up
on
fifth
avenue
and
I
talked
about
this
all
the
time
I
didn't
go
camp
until
I
was
almost
30
years
old,
which
was
more
than
30
years
ago,
but
I
loved
it.
My
kids
loved
it
and
it
was
something
we
were
able
to
do
as
a
family
that
was
was
affordable,
but
one
of
the
things
that
raises
some
concern
for
me
is
when
you
start
talking
about
organizations
getting
involved.
I
wonder
how
you're
monitoring
those
I
mean.
P
Are
you
making
sure
that
there's
clearances
involved
and
training,
because
one
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
our
own
athletic
associations
who
use
our
fields
and
our
parks?
All
the
time
is
making
sure
that
that
our
kids
are
protected
and
and
with
everything
that's
going
on
I'd
rather
be
proactive
and
making
sure
we're
taking
those
steps.
Now
you
and
I
both
worked
with
kids
between
pittsburgh,
public
schools
and
the
education.
P
Neighborhood
learning
alliance-
I
couldn't
remember
where
we
worked,
so
we
worked
with
a
lot
of
kids
together,
but
I
I
always
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
they're
first
and
they're.
So
I
have
a
concern
because
I
think
why
would
they
need
an
organization
to
go
camping
in
a
park
because
that
was
the
beauty
of
it
is
that
you
could
go
and
just
get
a
permit
or
whatever
you
had
to
do
and
you
need
an
organization.
So
could
you
talk
a
little
bit.
P
Q
And
at
first
I
want
to
address
your
safety
question.
100
there
would
be
need
to
be
clearances
insurance,
all
the
things
that
we
require
for
youth-oriented
activities,
the
way
we
do
for
sports
and
other
organizations
that
work
with
our
kids.
One
of
the
reasons
you
know-
and
I
think
it's
a
two
I
would
actually
say.
Q
First,
you
know
the
concept
that
we
are
actually
not
just
talking
about
camping,
we're
talking
about
equipping
families
and
young
people
and
their
mentors
with
the
know-how
on
like
how
to
camp
and
the
equipment
for
camping,
and
then
also
you
know,
especially
as
we
start
this
making
sure
that
we
have.
You
know
that
every
adult
has
their
clearances
that
we
sort
of
know
like
who
is
camping
together.
Q
It
doesn't
mean
that
families
wouldn't
be
part
of
that
as
well,
but
it
gives
us
the
ability
to
know
that
I
think,
even
in
the
code,
it
says
with
the
right
supervision.
How
are
we
making
sure
that
we
have
that
right
supervision?
How
are
we
making
sure
that
we
know
that
we
that
folks,
that
are
going
out
to
camp
have
all
of
the
you
know
are
prepared
and
ready
to
embrace
that
it
doesn't
mean
that
that
model
wouldn't
change
over
time?
I
think
to
get
really
get
this
started.
Q
It's
sort
of
making
sure
that,
from
a
programmatic
standpoint,
we
know
that,
like
this
is
going
to
be
the
best
camping
experience
that
it
can
be
and
there's
a
lot
of
us
that
are
involved
in
making
sure
that
that
camping
experience
is
set
up
well,
and
that
goes
to
again
preparation
having
the
right
gear
having
the
clearances
and
the
right.
Q
You
know
adult
mentors
who
have
been
sort
of
you
know,
part
of
that
and
in
providing
access
that
way,
it
doesn't
mean
that
families
wouldn't,
in
fact
part
of
the
model,
is
that
families
would
be
able
to
go
out
and
camp,
but
then
we'd
be
talking
about
individual
permits
and
and
as
we
put
this
policy
together
and
work
with
the
law
department,
that's
going
to
be
something
that
we'll
have
to
continue.
P
To
develop
so
I'm
just
going
to
say:
I'm
thankful
that
councilman
wilson
put
this
forward,
because
it
is
something
we
have
talked
about
previously
in
the
past
when
dan
gilman
was
on
council.
Actually,
so
it's
been
something
that
has
been
brought
up
many
times,
but
this
is
the
first
time
it
actually
came
to
the
table.
P
And
yours
as
well,
because
I
know
I
know
the
amazing
work
you're
doing
and
I
think
you're
taking
city
parks
into
an
amazing
direction,
but
I'm
still
going
to
say
that,
although
I'll
be
supportive
today,
I
do
want
to
have
some
conversations
about
the
involvement
of
organizations
and
and
the
need,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
great
organizations
doing
great
things-
and
this
sounds
like
one
one
of
those
groups,
but
it's
just
in
general.
I
just
have
concerns
when
we
start
putting
layers
to
me.
It's
the
beauty
of
this.
P
If,
if
we
eventually
do
it
is
that
people
can
go
into
the
parks
and
camp,
but
they
also
want
to
know
how
you're
gonna
stop
them
from
becoming
homeless
camps.
Once
we
get
to
that
point,
because
it
is
a
concern
and
when
you
have
kids
and
families
camping
in
the
same
park,
you
want
to
know
who's
in
there
together
a
little
bit
just
to
protect
it.
Yes,.
Q
And
I
will
just
say
this
starts
the
conversation
to
your
point.
It's
going
to
be
there's
more
steps
to
follow.
Anything
that
involves
a
campaign
would
still
come
to
the
table
as
a
mou
legal
agreement
that
would
be
reviewed
and
it
also
states
in
the
code
change
that
it
has
to
be
through
written
agreement
to
be
permitted
illegal
campaign.
P
A
Q
You
cannot,
you
cannot
be
in
the
park
beyond
the
park
hours,
so
some
different
parks
of
different
hours
and
then
you
can't
stake
like
things
into
the
ground
or
build
a
temporary
shelter
within
our
park.
So
if
you
look
at
the
language
previously,
it
actually
contradicted
itself
a
bit
and
made
it
so
that,
like
you,
actually
can't
really
camp
in
our
parks
in
that
way.
Legally,
so
it.
Q
Says
that
you
cannot
stake
things
in
the
ground.
Put
up
a
temporary
shelter
do
any
of
those
things
and
it
didn't
provide
the
even
the
doorway
to
have
a
conversation
around
doing
those
things
if
that
makes
sense.
So
so
technically,
it
did
not,
and
we
did
have
the
law
department.
Look
at
that
and
kind
of
like.
If
you
really
want
this
to
be
solid,
you
need
to
be
able
to
have
an
agreement
that
allows
you
to
camp
in
parks
like
actually
camp.
A
A
Q
L
Yeah,
just
real
quickly
is
that
something
we're
implementing
this
year,
director.
Q
I
mean
it's,
you
know
the
law
department's
already
been
working
on
it
with
us,
so
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
head
start.
I
do
anticipate
that
we
would.
Our
goal
would
be
to
get
something
in
front
of
you
like
this
summer
to
try
and
at
least
pilot
this
in
the
fall,
if
possible,
like
a
one
or
two
time
kind
of.
L
No,
I,
like
your
approach
with
the
pilot
program,
see
how
it
goes.
I'm
supportive,
as
long
as
councilman
wilson
provides
that
picture.
He
said
when
he
was
a
kid.
L
I
want
to
see
that
so
we
can
maybe
put
that
on
the
brochure
you
know.
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
aye
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation.
Thank
you
all
that
moves
us
to
innovation,
performing
an
asset
management
committee
which
is
chaired
by
councilwoman
schwartzberger.
We
have
our
first
new
paper,
which
is
bill
362.
D
C
I
figured
we
were
so
in
person
today
which,
actually
it
was
a-
I
don't
know
I
mean.
Obviously
the
hybrid
option
is
needed,
but
we
were
all
so
excited
to
see
each
other
that
we
caused
too
much
commotion
and
couldn't
start
the
meeting.
So,
but
I
see
I
see
you
sitting
in
the
back
there.
I
couldn't
help
myself
but
to
ask
questions
about
the
the
civic
platform,
which
is:
is
that
the
one-stop
platform?
No.
R
So
this
is
the
sarah
kinter
director
of
the
department
of
permits,
licenses
and
inspections.
Excellent
is
the
legacy
platform
that
we
used
to
use.
This
is
an
increase
for
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
extend
it
one
more
year
and
pli
no
longer
uses
the
system.
Domey
no
longer
uses
the
system,
dcp
no
longer
uses
the
system.
The
last
piece
of
work
here
that
has
to
be
completed
is
moving
all
of
the
data
from
that
platform
to
some
other
platform,
so
we
can
sever
that
tie
with
accela
formally
and
be
done
with
excel
altogether.
P
Just
just
briefly
not
regarding
just
this
particular,
but
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
contract
continuations
and
stuff,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
tracking
those
and
making
sure
how
necessary
they
are
that
they're
not
coming
back
before
us
for
something.
Thank
you.
L
Yeah,
director
kinter-
I
just
want
to
take
this
moment
to
thank
you
for
eliminating
that
games
of
chance
licensing
I've
already.
I
think
I've
told
you
I've
already
had
people.
You
know
say
to
me.
I
don't
know
what
this
is.
You
know,
how
do
I
get
this
done?
That's
just
red
tape,
I
feel
like
we
didn't
need,
and
it's
already
paid
off
for
a
couple
of
business
owners
in
my
district
that
they
felt
was
unnecessary.
L
A
P
A
Firm
to
recommendation
that
does
exhaust
our
agenda.
For
today
we
do
have
meeting
announcements
this
afternoon

Cafe.
Registration

morning
at

a.m.
To

to

A
A
A
I
stand
corrected
the
public
hearing
today
at
1
30.
You
will
also
have
the
virtual
zoom
option
any
announcements
from
members.
Madam
president,.
P
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
that
I
am.
This
is
unique
only
because
this
is
such
a
contentious
hearing
and
and
people
have
such
a
vested
interest
in
that
imp
allowed
the
union
or
planning
yeah
they're
allowing
planning
the
union
at
imp
is
allowing
planning
to
to
monitor
and
to
to
control
the
zoom
platform
just
for
this
hearing.
P
But
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
memorial
day
is
on
monday
and
that
on
sunday,
in
my
district,
if
you
ever
see
the
mount
washington
veterans
do
a
great
salute
on
one
o'clock
in
front
of
the
duquesne
incline.
It's
a
great
great
thing
to
see,
and
then
on
monday,
it's
a
little
bit
longer,
but
the
veterans
and
sheridan
go
to
all
the
memorial
sites,
starting
at
10
o'clock
at
the
memorial
in
front
of
langley
in
sheridan,
and
they
go
to
all
the
other
sites
in
district
2..
A
Thank
you
and
I'll
simply
add
that
if
the
public
hearing
is
so
important
that
the
union
will
allow
the
planning
department
to
manage
the
zoom,
I
think
council
meetings
are
equally
as
important,
and
the
union
should
thus
then
allow
the
city
clerk's
office
in
instances
like
this
to
handle
the
zoo.
P
So
I'm
glad
you
pointed
that
out
and
I
do
want
to
say.
Madam
clerk
has
been
amazing,
trying
to
negotiate
and
work
with
the
department
through
this
and
with
the
administration
and
we'll
have
that
further
discussion
about
it.
So.
K
K
Tend
to
say
this
privately
but
and
I've
told
this
to
the
I've,
told
this
to
the
cable
bureau
before
that
they
do
not
have
to
exist
in
this
form,
the
form
that
they
exist
in
we
choose
to
allow
it.
We
can
choose
for
it
not
to
allow
in
this
form
we
can
zero
out
their
budget
and
create
a
new
capable
that
will
directly
serve
us
and
our
needs,
and
so
as
much
as
I
respect
them
and
want
them
to
work
with
us.
K
A
Our
schools
yeah
anything
else,
councilman
burgess.
K
Certainly,
we
are
praying
for
the
families
down
in
texas.
I
won't
talk,
I
won't
say
much
about
this,
but
what
kind
of
world
are
we
living
in
when
an
18
year
old
can
walk
into
a
store,
buy
assault,
weapons
made
for
military
purposes
and
shoot
up
a
bunch
of
innocent
kids
and
teachers?
K
I
have
been
saying
this
for
many
many
years.
I
will
continue
to
say
it.
No
one
has
a
right
domestically
to
have
an
assault
rifle
there's
no
need
for
it.
We
are
gun
crazy,
I'll
go
further
and
at
the
core
of
this
hatred
is
the
hatred
of
others,
the
hatred
of
black
people,
the
hatred
of
brown
people,
the
hatred
of
jewish
people,
the
hatred
of
asian
people,
the
hatred
of
muslim
people,
part
the
gun
lobby
and
the
gun.
Manufacturers
are
the
worst.
K
Drug
dealer
in
this
country
they
are
using
guns
as
a
drug
to
fuel,
racist
ideology
and
racist
fears
of
division,
and
now
we
are
having
the
where
our
children
are
dying
for
the
profit
of
these
poisonous
people.
We,
what
kind
of
country
are
we
to
have
these
things
occur?
It
should
not
occur
in
our
country.
Our
children
should
not
be
should
not
be
victims
for
the
profit
and
the
pleasure
of
racist
and
opportunists.
