A
They
were
given
the
very
important
task
of
for
the
first
time
in
history,
not
just
having
students
show
up
and
give
their
opinions,
but
actually
give
them
the
power
of
legislative
power
to
fund
programming,
and
so
what
I've
done
is
that
the
the
money
that
I
usually
would
give
out
to
three
based
organizations
will
let
the
children,
the
young
people,
decide
where
those
funds
should
go,
and
so
I
think
it's
a
great
great
idea
and
I'm
going
to
advocate
for
other
members
to
do
the
same,
and
so
we're
going
to
turn
it
to
omb.
B
Sure,
absolutely
I'm
david
hutchinson,
I'm
the
assistant
director
for
capital
and
asset
management
in
the
mayor's
office
of
management
and
budget.
Part
of
my
purview
includes
the
community
development
team
working
closely
with
councilmember
wilson
on
ways
in
which
we
can
utilize
community
development
block
grant
funds
from
hud
to
help
improve
the
lives
of
low-income
residents
throughout
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
when
councilmember
burgess
approached
us
about
wanting
to
do
something
new
for
the
2020
and
2021
public
service
grants
for
district
9,
I
was
really
excited
to
thought
back
about
district
5
and
prior
interactions.
B
Dylan's
been
at
the
table
before
with
pittsburgh,
public
schools
and
specifically
the
student
and
government
council,
to
figure
out
how
to
leverage
the
passion
of
students
within
the
city
to
get
more
of
a
community
voice
in
the
process.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
work
with
both
this
group
of
students
and
also
staff
from
pps.
Thank
you
to
annie
and
to
lanell
they've
been
instrumental
in
the
process
students.
Would
you
like
to
go
around
and
give
your
name
in
neighborhood
for
the
record.
C
Yes,
so
hi,
my
name
is
aran
bajadia,
I'm
a
senior
at
obama
academy.
B
So
the
students
are
going
to
be
running
most
of
the
show
today
and
giving
a
presentation
on
what
they
did,
I'm
going
to
pass
to
them
very
soon.
But
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
there
there's
no
training
wheels
with
this
program.
They
saw
the
exact
same
data
that
the
council
members
see
whenever
our
office
meets
with
you
to
explain
demographics,
to
talk
about
food
insecurity,
to
talk
about
different
racial
components
within
the
communities,
to
figure
out
how
to
best
reach
our
most
vulnerable
vulnerable
residents.
They
got
to
see
all
of
that.
B
They
got
to
do
a
really
nice
outreach
campaign
to
get
survey
data
from
community
members
within
the
pps
community.
They
got
to
go
through
all
the
trials
and
tribulations
of
figuring
out
how
to
market
something,
how
to
make
something
impactful
and
digestible
to
your
resident
enough
so
that
they
want
to
participate
and
they
got
some
great
participation.
B
So
I'm
really
excited
with
the
work
that
they've
done
and
the
recommendations
that
they've
made
so
now
like
to
pass
it
to
the
pps
students.
D
Yeah,
so
we're
just
going
to
go
through
our
slides
and
kind
of
how
we
went
about
this
process
so
we're
the
students
in
government
council
and
today
we
want
to
talk
to
you
about
our
district
9
community
development
budget
grant.
So
just
a
little
bit
of
background
on
what
the
students
of
government
council
is
so
we're
a
group
of
30
representatives
from
all
around
pittsburgh.
D
We
have
students
from
public
schools,
private
schools,
parochial
schools,
charter,
schools,
et
cetera,
and
we're
all
just
really
passionate
about
making
changes
in
our
community
and
we
meet
with
a
lot
of
different
local
politicians
and
state
politicians
and
we're
led
by
ms
lynell
rude
who's
sitting
over
there.
And
she
is
the
student
voice
project
manager,
and
then
we
also
have
three
senior
advisors.
So
myself,
ada,
arhan
and
dylan,
and
we
are
also
joined
today
by
nila
and
isaiah,
who
are
also
serving
on
the
council.
G
Throughout
the
pandemic,
we've
been
engaged
with
the
opposite.
The
budget
and
other
stakeholders
to
you
know
really
make
sure
that
we're
making
informed
decisions
when
it
comes
to
the
the
money
that
reverend
burgess
has
given
us
the
opportunity
to
allocate
we've
evaluated
cdbg
pro
proposals
from
across
district
nine
and
sort
of
identified,
which
ones
we
felt
would
be
address.
The
needs
that
we
identified
through
through
a
number
of
sources
that
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
later,
and
also
that
do
so
in
the
most.
C
So,
just
to
give
some
a
little
bit
more
background
on
the
district
9
public
service
grants,
so
the
city
government
started
out
with
113
proposals
and
we,
as
the
students
and
governments
council,
work
to
narrow
down
these
proposals
to
the
eventual
awardees
by
first
conducting
a
survey
and
then
scoring
all
of
these
proposals
that
we've
seen
based
on
the
survey
and
the
needs
that
were
highlighted
in
that
survey
and
eventually
we
came
down
to
the
awardees
and
I'll
hand
it
off
to
ada
to
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
that
process.
E
Actually,
I'm
gonna
talk
first
and
then
to
ada
but
yeah,
so
we
sent
out
a
survey
and
we
were
very
clear
in
making
sure
that
the
survey
was
just
targeted
at
district
nine
residents.
We
felt
that
you
know
this
community
is
really
important
to
focus
on.
As
you
know,
we
know
this
is
a
place
that
has
been
targeted
by
gentrification
and
other
similarly
rooted
issues,
and
so
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
these
voices
were
the
ones
that
were
being
elevated.
E
In
particular,
we
focused
on
a
younger
demographic,
so
the
students
from
pittsburgh
westinghouse
and
other
magnet
schools.
E
We
really
tried
to
target
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
survey
was
collecting
a
diverse
range
of
perspective,
and
so
we
used
a
variety
of
marketing
tools
ourselves
for
one,
because
we
could
talk
to
our
classmates
into
our
peers,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
limiting
ourselves
just
to
a
convenient
sample,
and
so
we
also
used
social
media
and
that
helped
to
really
leverage
our
survey,
especially
with
that
younger
demographic,
because
so
many
people
are
on
social
media
platforms.
F
After
all,
this
great
work
that
we
did
getting
the
survey
out
to
the
world
to
pps
students,
we
saw
a
lot
of
responses.
We
saw
a
lot
of
responses
from
d9
neighborhoods,
which
we
appreciated.
It
really
reflected
how
we
got
out
the
survey
to
westinghouse
students
in
particular,
and
we
saw
the
data
trended
towards
four
key
services.
F
So
we
blew
up
this
picture
here
to
show
which
neighborhoods
students
responded
from.
You
can
see
a
lot
of
d9
neighborhoods
there.
We,
you
can
really
see
our
focus
on
westinghouse,
reflecting
the
data
showing
how
many
students
were
coming
from
that
school
and
responding
to
our
survey.
F
And
here
you
can
see
the
survey
data
in
full
with
the
most
important
categories
the
students
selected.
You
can
see
the
four
core
services
really
miles
ahead
of
the
competition
really
taking
the
lead
and
showing
how
important
that
is
to
our
students.
D
Yeah
so
after
we
sent
out
the
survey
and
got
the
results
from
the
students,
our
this
team
at
the
city
made
a
rubric
for
us
to
score
each
of
the
proposals
that
we
had
for
the
grant.
So
each
of
the
30
members
on
the
council
was
able
to
fill
out
this
rubric
and
you
can
see
there
are
a
bunch
of
different
categories
we
had
while
we
were
scoring
so,
for
example,
one
of
the
categories
was:
how
much
is
this
grant
proposal
going
to
serve
specifically
residents
in
district
nine?
D
So
some
of
the
organizations
were
not
necessarily
serving
residents
in
district
9,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
this
money
was
going
to
directly
benefit
these
residents
and
also
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
the
goal
of
the
proposal
was
aligning
with
the
needs
that
we
had
gotten
from
the
survey
kind
of
what
isaiah
was
talking
about,
and
if
you
can
see
on
the
right,
we
have
an
example
of
one
of
the
categories
and
how
we
scored
it.
D
So
you
can
see,
it
just
goes
from
zero
to
five
and
that's
for
the
service
to
district
nine
category
and
another
thing
we
looked
at
while
we
were
scoring
was
sort
of.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
these
were
benefiting
the
district
9
residents
directly
and
not
just
you
know,
pittsburghers
in
general,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure,
even
though
each
organization
was
really
great,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
giving
the
money
to
the
people
that
needed
it
most.
E
So
here
you
can
see
a
normal
distribution
of
all
of
the
scoring
that
we
did
and
the
data
is
unimodal
and
it
was
able
to
remain
skewed
left,
while
also
being
unbiased,
which
was
great,
because
we
could
give
points
to
organizations
that
we
thought
that
we
liked
that
we
thought
looked
credible
and
that
would
really
benefit
these
communities
the
most,
while
also
ensuring
that
we
were
scoring
everything
objectively.
G
All
right
so
now
we
get
the
fun
part
who
got
the
money.
So,
as
you
can
see
there,
there
are
a
number
of
different
organizations
and
they
all
do
you
know
vastly
different
types
of
work.
We
have
you
know,
organizations
that
provide
resources
to
lgbtq
plus
people.
G
We
have
organizations
that
you
know
provide
help
to
seniors
that
provide
you
know:
food
food
bank
services
and
so
really
what
we
were
able
to
do
was
identify
a
group
of
of
organizations
that
were
really
targeted
towards
what
we
saw
the
community
needs
being
so
you
know
prasad
center.
That
was
the
lgbtq
plus
organization
I
was
talking
about.
They
do
a
lot
of
stuff
regarding
mental
health,
especially
when
it
comes
to
young
people.
G
That's
really
important,
and
that's
also
exactly
what
we
saw.
You
know
in
our
survey,
and
so
we
were
really
able
to
fund
projects.
You
know
based
off
of
off
of
that
data
that
we
we
received
so
that
we
could
make
informed
decisions
about.
You
know
what
are
the
needs
of
residents
of
district
9
and
not
just
sort
of
you
know,
making
educated
guesses
about
that
having
districts
having
residents
of
district
9
say
explicitly.
This
is
what
we
need
and
then
being
able
to
deliver
on
that.
C
C
If
we
interact
with
these
students
to
get
a
better
sense
of
how
to
improve
these
things,
I
think
that's
how
we
really
began
improving
district
9
as
a
district.
In
addition
to
that,
I
really
this
because
I
like
this
so
much,
I
would
really
want
to
make
student
feedback
a
prerequisite
for
certain
fund
allocation
initiatives,
whether
it's
with
community
development
block
grants
or
with
something
else.
C
Of
course,
we
always
love
being
on
the
table
and,
as
we
are
right
now
and
but
we
would
also
like
to
just
as
we
did
here-
convert
this
engagement
to
action
and
measurable
legislation
or
any
other
measurable
impact
on
our
communities.
C
C
So
with
that
we
can,
we
conclude
our
presentation.
Are
there
any
questions.
A
Questions
first,
we're
joined
by
councilwoman,
erica
strasberger,
councilman,
coghill,
cosman
and
bobby
wilson,
and
so
the
young
people
just
presented
their
sort
of
strategy
of
how
they
came
up
with
their
distribution
of
my
my
my
cdbg
distribution,
and
they
I
gave
it
to
them
to
decide
what
groups
they
reviewed
did
a
survey,
I'm
just
capsulizing,
I'm
not
sure.
If
you
saw
in
the
back,
they
did
a
survey
a
rather
extensive
survey
and
targeted
the
district
9
residents
and
found
out
their
priorities
and
then
justified
their
allocations,
given
them
their
priorities.
A
Actually
a
spectacular
job
that
I
was
very
impressed
by
right,
very
impressed
by
I
think
omb
for
for
having
this
idea
and
bringing
the
young
people
involved.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
we'll
go
down
the
line
with
mr
wilson.
Any
questions
you
want
to
have
our
of
our
high
school
presenters
or
the
process
or
lmb
or
any
other.
H
Stuff,
oh
yeah
here
comes
the
questions
just
want
to
light
them
in
a
little
bit.
So
so
you
had
an
opportunity
to
work
with
omb.
F
H
And
did
you
go
over
like
the
whole,
like
how
many
cbg
dollars
we
get
in
and
why
these
allocations
are?
Okay,
yeah
cause,
that's
all
fascinating.
To
me,
I
mean
especially
previous
to
this.
You
know
working
with
being
on
a
community
group
and
being
a
recipient
of
those
that's
on
the
spring
hill,
civic
league.
It
was
definitely
you
know,
interesting
just
to
see
how
you
know
this
all
works
prior
to
being
in
office
and
once
in
office,
it's
the
funds.
So
what
do
we
call
these
funds?
These
are
public.
B
H
14
million
is
there
like
a
certain
percentage
of
like
service
there's.
H
H
Though
we
did
here,
okay
yeah,
I
just
like
to
to
hear
like
what
was
the
the
greatest
challenge
of
trying
to
decide.
I
mean
I
had
my
own
experience,
but
what's
the
greatest
challenge
of
I
know
you
try
to
be
non-biased,
but
you
know
with
everything
in
life
it
it
always
becomes.
Like
a
you
know.
How
are
you
really
going
to
judge
one
group
over
the
next.
G
So,
like
you
know,
if
there's
some
issue
that
you're
really
passionate
about,
but
that
you
know
the
residents
of
district
9
have,
you
know
not
really
highlighted
as
an
issue,
you
sort
of
have
to
take
a
step
back
and
understand
that
your
job
here
is
to
make
decisions
that
are
sound.
You
know,
on
the
feedback
and
on
the
advice
of
the
people
who
are
gonna,
you
know,
receive
these
funds
and
who
are
gonna,
be
helped
by
it
and
so
sort
of
taking
my
own.
You
know
personal
beliefs,
out
of
it.
G
A
little
bit
was
something
that
you
know
you
sort
of
have
to
wrestle
with
a
little
bit,
because
there
were
definitely
projects
that
I
saw
that
I
totally
would
have
loved
to
you
know,
give
ten
twenty
thousand
dollars
to,
but
that
it
just
wouldn't
have
made
sense
to
based
off
of
you
know
the
survey
data
that
we
had
and
all
the
other
information
that
we
had.
You
know
sort
of
saying
this
just
isn't
an
issue
in
district
9,
even
if
it
might
be
in
other
places,.
D
D
D
You
know
five
thousand
dollars
here,
five
thousand
dollars
here,
but
we
got
like
data
from
students
and
also
other
residents
in
district
nine,
and
also
we
had
a
rubric
that
the
city
made
and
that
made
it
a
lot
easier.
E
Yeah,
I
think
something
else
that
also
helped
counteract
that
challenge.
Is
that
we're
a
council
so
we're
able
to
also
work
with
each
other
on
things?
So
I
definitely
agree
with
what
dylan
was
saying
that
there
were
some
organizations
where
I
was
like.
Oh
I've
worked
with
them
before,
or
this
is
so
interesting,
but
it
just
wasn't
really
what
district
9
was
looking
for
and
so
doing
my
own
rubric
and
then
reviewing
with
ada.
E
I
know
we
always
had
it
together,
just
to
make
sure
like
I
wasn't
being
biased
at
all
here
right
and
just
comparing
our
scores.
That's
also
really
helpful,
not
just
to
work
with
the
city,
but
also
to
work
with
each
other
too,
to
help
make
those
decisions.
G
Not
at
the
one-on-one
level,
but
we
were
able
to
you,
know,
read
their
applications
and
and
do
sort
of
our
own
private
research.
I
know
I
sort
of
you
know.
Looked
up
a
number
of
the
the
organizations
just
to
see
like
is
this.
You
know
someone
who
can
you
know
write
a
really
great
proposal,
but
is
like?
Is
this
organization
actually
doing
work?
Where
is
the
money
actually
gonna
go
beyond
just
you
know?
G
Where
are
they
saying
it's
gonna
go,
and
so
you
know
sort
of
verifying
it
on
that
end,
gave
sort
of
a
more
personalized
look
on
each
of
the
organizations,
but
we
weren't
able
to
have
you
know
direct
one-on-one
contact
with
them.
H
So
how
the
service
grants
are
set
up
as
you,
as
you
know,
like
based
on
the
census,
did
you
like?
What's
your?
How
do
you
feel
about
you
know
there
being
a
whole
vetting
process
of?
Would
they
qualify?
You
know
a
lot
of
times
we
struggle
with.
Is
the
population
that
we
serve?
Does
that
population
actually
qualify
for
the
type
of
funding?
Did
you
get
an
opportunity
to
like
by
the
way,
I'm
just
I'm
just
I'm
just
trying
to
engage
I'm
not
like
trying
to
drill
you
or
anything,
I'm
just.
H
H
There
was
a
group
that
they
formed
was
called
lee
team
kind
of
kind
of
corny
name
league
team,
but
it
was
made
up
of
you
know
mostly
high
school
kids,
and
we
had
roughly
the
same
amount
of
money.
It
was
a
it
was
a.
This
was
going
back
in
the
90s,
but
we
roughly
had
similar
amount
of
funds
to
distribute
throughout
the
neighborhood
and
we
would
get
in
applications
and
we,
but
it
wasn't
cvg
money.
It
was
just
like
grant
like.
H
It
was
a
larger
organization
that
you
know
gave
the
boys
and
girls
club
the
money.
So
anyway,
getting
back
to
this,
I
was
just
curious
on
you
know
your
whole
thought
on
the
process
of
how
we,
through
the
census
and
and
then
we
have
these
funds
to
distribute
people
to
qualify
for
that.
The
biggest
challenge
that
that
I
see
is
the
actual
spending
of
the
funds.
H
So
you
know
once
once
they're
they're
allocated
did
you
have
any?
Did
you
incorporate
that?
I
understand
it
was
the
rubric
was
given
by
you
like?
Was
that?
What
do
you
think
of
that?
Was
it
a
large
component
of
it
on
who,
like
previous
ability
to
spend
the
dollars,
was
that
a
factor
at
all.
F
Well,
definitely
that
went
into
it,
so
we
had
a
lot
of
narrowing
down
stages
of
the
survey
narrowed
down
the
recipients
based
on
what
students
wanted
the
rubric
definitely
narrowed
down.
There
was
a
category
for
that
like
were
they
active
in
the
past?
Have
they
done
the
same
kind
of
work?
That
was
also
very
helpful,
cool.
H
Great
well,
hey
thanks
for
thanks
for
thanks
for
getting
this
going,
I'm
definitely
interested.
Maybe
it's
something
you
know
to
incorporate
in
my
my
district.
If,
if
so,
is
this
the
the
group
at
pbs
to
to
reach
out
to
we're.
H
You're,
like
our
bond
yeah,
I
could
see
you
20
years
20
years
from
now,
he's
gonna
be
the
the
bond.
What's
the
client
we
heard,
did
they
oversee
the
bonds?
I
like
that
answer
all
right.
Well,.
D
Yeah,
we
also
have
like
a
bunch
of
like
local
government
officials
and
state
government
officials
that
come
speak
to
us.
So
if
you
want
to
come,
speak
to
us,
we'd
love
to
have
you
and
talk.
H
Okay,
great
always
a
pleasure
having
pps
at
the
table.
So
thanks.
I
Welcome,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
first
want
to
say
I'm
here
to
support
your
efforts.
I
love
seeing
young
people
like
yourselves
engaged.
This
reminds
me
very
much
of
the
council.
I
sit
at
every
tuesday
and
wednesday
here,
except
a
little
less
bickering
and
you're
better
dressed.
I
You
know
so
credit
to
you
for
both
of
those
things
ellis
grad.
My
daughter
went
to
alice,
so
you
know
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
with
the
school
and
yeah
it's
a
great
school,
but
I
guess
so
we're
talking
about
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars.
I
Oh,
it's.
We
don't
really
have
that
issue,
you
know,
so
I
struggle
with
that
all
the
time
and
you're
right.
You
know
you
really
have
to
take
in
the
whole,
I
take
the
city
as
a
whole
and
you
know
just
because
it's
not
a
problem
in
my
district.
I
still
support
it
because
it's
important
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh
as
a
whole.
So
it
sounds
like
you
really
did
your
your
due
diligence
on
that.
I
I
I
don't
know
if
the
allocations
were,
you
know,
kind
of
reflected
that
or
not,
but
I'm
assuming
they
did.
You
know,
but
so
so,
if
you
could
just
speak
to
you
know
as
to
what
you
felt
the
top
one,
two
or
three
reasons
were
for
you
know
requiring
or
asking
for
allocations.
F
I
can
split
the
difference
here,
since
this
was
my
slide,
so
the
top,
I
hope,
he's
not
in
my
district,
the
top
four
things
that
the
students
identified
from
the
survey
were:
health
services,
mental
health
services.
Yes,.
I
C
F
Pantries,
so
I
think,
like
four
out
of
the
five
of
our
final
results:
five
out
of
six
one
of
them
might
not
have
been,
but
they
definitely
all
almost
all
represented
those
councilman.
I
Wilson
and
I
are
working
very
closely
on
mental
illnesses
as
we
speak,
and
you
know
I
think
that
is
a
you
know.
When
we
talk
about
homeless,
when
we
talk
about,
you
know,
people
displaced,
it's
it's
really
important
subject
so.
G
Maybe
maybe
a
little
bit,
maybe
a
little
bit
yeah.
I
just
I
don't
know
I've.
You
know
seeing
politics
in
action
both
through
this
council
and
through
other
organizations.
I
just
think
it's
one
of
the
most.
You
know
significant
ways
of
making
broad
change
in
your
community,
like
you
know,
obviously
the
work
of
individuals.
You
know
people
like
doctors
is
tremendously
important
but
being
able
to
sort
of
say
we
have
the
power
to
sort
of
help.
I
Very
noble
of
you,
I
will
tell
you
and
that's
why
I'm
in
it.
I
will
tell
you
so
you
know
it
really.
Is
I
mean
that's,
that's
type
of
people.
We
need
in
government
people
who
want
to
make
a
difference,
we're
typically
not
in
in
it
for
the
paycheck
by
any
means,
but
it's
for
you
know
helping
our
city
grow
or
whoever
you're
representing
whether
it
be
state
city
or
local
government.
So
I
just
wanted
to
stop
and
say:
hi
yeah
did
you
have
something
to
say.
D
Guys,
simon,
what
I
was
gonna
say
is
that
also,
since
the
I
think
isaiah
said,
the
number
one
like
category
from
the
survey
was
mental
health
and
I
think
especially
for
people
like
our
age
like,
and
I
know
at
least
for
me.
I've
had
one
normal
year
of
high
school.
D
So
I
think
that
mental
health
is
definitely
a
big
factor
for
a
lot
of
young
people,
and
I
know
I've
seen
it
at
my
school
and
I'm
sure
everyone
else
has
seen
it
and
I
think
that
it
like
we're
going
through
like
a
national
youth
mental
health
crisis
right
now.
So
I
think
that,
like
it's
really
cool
that
we
get
to
do
even
something
like
really
small
for
just
these
students
in
district
nine
to
hopefully
help
them.
You
know
with
the
effects
of
the
pandemic.
I
I
was
in
district
9,
oh
okay,
I
think
that's
your
list.
Okay,
okay,
okay,
unless
you
have
something
to
add,
I
just
really
wanted
to
support
your
efforts.
I
really
respect
what
you're
doing
you
all
made
a
very
good
presentation
through
and
through,
and
you
know
you
kind
of
need
to
support
you,
and
it
sounds
like
most
of
your
issues
that
you're
tackling
are
ones
that
we
deal
with
every
day
here.
So
they're
kind
of
you
know
on
the
same
line.
A
Thank
you
very
much
erica
thank.
J
You
well,
first
of
all,
it's
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
with
you,
I'm
sorry
for
missing
your
presentation,
but
the
good
news
is,
it
was
recorded,
so
I
will
I
can,
and
I
will
go
back
and
watch
it
because
I'm
now
all
these
questions
have
piqued
my
interest
and
I'm
interested
to
understand
the
rubric
and
then
who
you
ultimately
chose.
I
also
want
to
commend
burgess
and
omb
dave
and
everyone
for
for
this
idea
of
taking
this
particular
pot
of
money.
J
I
know
that
you've
gone
through
this
exercise
in
the
past,
or
some
of
you
have
at
least
and
participated
in
the
youth
budget
council,
but
this
is
a
really
creative
way
to
to
to
have
some
geographical
boundaries
and
focus
around
it.
So
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this.
It's
it's
really.
It's
really!
J
It's
just
a
creative
way
to
you
know
really
put
some
some
thought
behind
the
you
know
the
small
amount
of
power
that
we
have
to
allocate
funds,
which
is
aside
from
the
city
budget,
not
much
when
it
comes
to
kind
of
direct
funding
for
services.
J
I
guess
my
question,
for
you
is
based
on
what
I've
heard
so
far
is:
do
you
think
that
this
type
of
thing
is
scalable
so
that
it
could
be
used
for
other
council
offices
with
other
groups
of
people?
So
in
this
case
it
was
it.
Was
you
all
and
thank
you
for
offering
your
services
and
to
know
that
you're
here,
but
you're
you're
not
always
going
to
be
here
right,
so
there
are
going
to
be
others
who
hopefully
take
an
interest
in
this
and
want
to.
You
know,
participate
from
all
parts
of
pittsburgh.
G
Yeah,
I
think
absolutely
I
think
you
know
doing
this
work
at
sort
of
the
the
level
specific
to
district
9
has
been
really
helpful
to
like
sort
of
understanding
how
we
scale
it
like.
I
think
you
know
this
is
sort
of
my.
My
idealistic
future
is
one
where
you
know
youth
voice
being
directly
involved
and
not
just
sort
of
being.
You
know
an
element,
but
actually
really
you
know
being
able
to
make
these
decisions
you
know
for,
for
young
people
in
our
communities
is
sort
of.
G
I
think
the
platonic
ideal,
and
I
think
the
question
is
how
we
get
there
and
I
think
doing.
Work
like
this
is
something
that
is
a
really
great
way
of
doing
it.
You
know
we
were
able
to
see
that
you
know
this
worked
really
well
in
district
nine
we
were
able
to,
you,
know,
get
everyone
up
to
speed
on
cdbg
money
and
how
that
worked,
and
you
know,
go
through
all
the
proposals
and
rank
all
the
proposals
and
make
our
final
decisions
in
the
span
of
a
little
more
than
a
month.
G
I
think,
and
that
was
for
one
council
district
and
keep
in
mind
a
lot
of
that
is
information,
that's
applicable
everywhere.
So
you
know
what
a
cdbg
is.
You
know
how
that
money's
used,
how
we
normally
allocate
that
money,
all
of
that's
going
to
be
applicable
to
every
council
district,
and
so
when
it
comes
to
scaling,
it's
really
just
reading
more
proposals
and
that's
something
that
you
know.
C
Yeah
definitely
I
agree
with
that.
I
think
what
I
really
appreciate
about
this
process
was
that
it
was
reliant
a
lot
on
data
and
and
loss
analysis
of
that
data,
and
that
is
of
course,
always
scalable,
because
we
can
always
have
a
survey
to
be
sent
out
to
students
or
any
other
community
members,
and
it
could
just
be
in
a
larger
scale
further.
We
could
also,
of
course,
reviewing.
C
We
just
need
to
review
more
proposals,
as
dylan
mentioned,
so
it's
certainly
scalable,
and
I
think
it's
something
definitely
that
the
city
could
work
on
with
any
other
fund
allocation
initiatives,
because,
of
course
the
community
knows
what
the
community
needs
the
most.
C
B
Yeah
I'd
say:
first
of
all,
the
students
were
worked
at
breakneck
speed
during
a
very
complicated
time
in
your
lives
and
you're,
applying
to
college
and
trying
to
work
through
other
things
with
the
pandemic.
Just
like
adults
are,
they
did
an
incredible
job
with
the
survey
they
got
about
three
percent
of
the
target:
demographic
for
district
nine
high
school
students,
which
is
amazing
for
anything
government.
I
can
promise
you
that's
a
high
water
mark
in
a
lot
of
ways,
so
I
think
that
there
are
opportunities
to
scale
even
at
the
school
level.
B
So
if
we
wanted
to
do
something
that
was
a
little
bit
more
of
a
direct
participatory
budgeting
model,
we
could
do
that
with
some
of
the
electronic
tools
we
now
have
available.
Balancing
act
is
a
tool
we
currently
use.
They
have
a
new
tool
on
the
market
that
could
be
more
of
a
just
participatory
budgeting.
So,
instead
of
doing
a
survey
to
narrow
things
down,
they
can
actually
choose
between
the
proposals
that
were
submitted.
B
B
We
could
file
it
correctly
and
make
sure
that
the
right
audience
was
seeing
it,
but
absolutely,
I
think,
there's
tools
available
and
I
think
we
we,
as
city
officials,
gain
so
much
information
working
with
the
high
schoolers
right,
I
always
think
of
council
member
rudiak
in
the
eighth
grade
reading
level
and
making
government
accessible
to
people
well.
This
was
amazing
test
lab
to
have
that
in
real
time.
B
We
also
had
some
huge
wins
as
this,
as
the
survey
was
out
with
different
schools,
you
kind
of
see
spikes
in
the
numbers
from
when
somebody
had
a
great
conversation
with
a
school
leader
or
when
somebody
went
basically
person
to
person
to
other
students
to
let
them
know
about
it.
So
we
were
able
to
kind
of
capture
some
of
those
wins
and
spread
them
around,
hopefully,
the
whole
city
on
a
much
longer
timeline.
I
think
we'd
see
even
more
robust
participation.
J
It's
just
it's
so
great
on
so
many
levels
I
mean,
what's
great,
for
what's
good,
for
youth
is
going
to
be
good
for
the
population
at
large.
So
I
think
also
having
that
as
sort
of
a
focus
is
really
interesting.
Empowering
but
also
like
there
are.
There
are
layers
of
benefit
to
that,
and
then
I
just
think
about
the
system
of
cdbg
and
how
its
federal
funding
that
comes
eventually
comes
to
us,
as
council
members
to
decide
how
to
allocate
and
like
a
lot
of
things
that
are.
J
It
hamstrings
us,
but
also
there's
a
lot
of
leeway
and
the
leeway
leaves
it
a
little
bit
messy,
and
so,
as
just
one
example,
you
know
if
we
don't
have
data
and
numbers
that
we're
working
off
of
it's
really
just
council
members
using
their
own
best
judgment
as
to
how
much
to
spend
on
each
individual
organization
and
it's
different
for
every
single
council
district.
So
if
you're,
the
non-profit
and
you
think
well,
we
offer
services
to
five
of
the
nine
council
districts
I'm
going
to
apply
to
those
five.
J
You
have
no
idea
how
any
one
council
member
is
going
to
make
their
decision
you're
just
kind
of
guessing
like
well.
If
I
meet
with
all
of
them
and
I
send
all
of
them
a
letter
like,
hopefully
I'll
get
some
money
and
you
just
have
no
idea
how
much
you're
actually
going
to
get
from
each
council
office
and
so
and
from
the
mayor's
office
as
well.
So
this
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
me
having
having
the
system
scaled
up
and
more
organized
and
having
a
little
more
of
that
data
on
the
front
end.
J
A
It's
another
thing
to
make
them
part
of
the
present
and
empower
them
to
actually
do
what
we
do
in
this
in
in
small
parts.
You
know
we
manage
500
million
dollars
a
year.
Council
does
in
the
operating
budget
more
in
the
capital
budget
and
even
more,
we
talk
about
authorities
our
last
thing
as
I'll
share
with
you.
I
ran
for
council.
A
I
came
from
the
church
and
from
academia
to
be
a
council
member.
Just
for
what
you
said.
I
wanted
to
make
an
impact,
and
so
you
know
if,
for
those
who
go
to
obama,
if
you
walk
down
east
liberty,
boulevard
you'll
see
new
houses
where
I
help
lead
that
effort,
so
I
can
sometimes
and
my
niece
lives
in
them,
so
I
can
drive
past
and
say
well,
I
did
something
right
and
you
know
for
the
you
in
ellis
bakery
square.
I
was
involved
heavily
in
that
development
in
that
planning.
A
So
you
get
to
really
see
your
work
in
concrete
and
say.
Oh,
I
had
a
small
part
of
this
and
it's
it's
rewarding,
but
I
thank
you
for
coming
and
taking
time
out
of
your
studies
to
be
with
us
this
afternoon.
Again
we
are.
We
are
your
partners,
you
know
and
and
dave
and
your
teachers.
I
will
talk
to
your
your
teachers
and
your
mentors
in
a
minute
after
this
is
over,
but
we're
here
to
always
help
you
and
you
know
so.
A
F
J
I
I
A
If
there
is
no
other
comments
again,
thank
you,
god
bless
you
and
some
of
them.
Those
of
you
who
are
very
major
college
choices
since
we're
here
tell
them
where
you're
going
to
school
at.
G
A
Really
bright
children,
so
god
bless
you.
We
have
a
smile
upon
you
and
we
will
will
we
continue
this
conversation
and
so
I'll.
Take
a
motion
to
dismiss
the
meeting.
The
second.
