And
whereas,

continued
to
make
great
strides
towards
regional
policy.
Change

a
variety
of
common
issues
for
the
benefit
of

urban
core,

Congratulations

A
F
So
this
is
my
name:
is
lydia
morin,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
connect.
I
had
a
plan
to
make
a
remarks,
but
I
mostly
am
here
to
thank
the
city
to
thank
every
one
of
you,
council,
gentlemen
and,
ladies,
that
you
send
your
staff.
You
send
your
support.
We've
worked
together
on
a
lot
of
great
issues
and
there's
so
much
more
to
do.
We're
excited
for
your
new
teams,
your
new
administration,
and
we
welcome
you
all
into
connect
under
this
new
leadership.
A
Can
I
ask
jake
paul,
do
you
want
to
say
something
funny
director
pollock,
okay,
wait!
Wait!
That's
our
job!
Okay,
director
pollock!
Will
you
say
a
few
words
on
behalf
of
the
mayor
and.
D
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I'll
just
briefly
note
on
behalf
of
mayor
gainey
that
our
administration
is
very
excited
to
be
joining
the
connect
leadership.
I
will
be
the
mayor's
representative
on
the
executive
board,
which
is
work,
that's
already
begun
and
work
that
I'm
very
excited
about.
I,
as
some
folks
know,
actually
grew
up
in
mount
oliver
borough,
a
municipality
that
is
surrounded
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh
on
all
sides,
but
is
not
formally
part
of
the
city
and
is
joining
connect
for
the
first
time
this
year.
D
So
I
think
that
that
that
story
just
sort
of
points
to
the
interconnectedness
of
our
region,
that
crosses
municipal
borders
and
with
that
I'm
just
very
excited
to
be
honoring
connect
today
on
the
mayor's
behalf.
So
on
his
behalf,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
do
personally.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
very
excited
to
be
joining
the
team
and,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
congratulations
on
a
successful
12
years
and
many
more
to
come.
Thank
you
so
much.
F
I'm
so
sorry,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
team
by
nate
one
by
one
on
the
name.
So
we
right
here
we
have
kelly
kelly.
She
is
our
former
mayor
of
turtle
creek,
but
now
community
engagement
manager
for
the
law
enforcement
assistant
diversion
program
you
want
to
come
up.
Maybe
I
don't
know
you're
going
to
say
you
don't
say
anything:
joellen
marsh
our
law
enforcement
system,
diversion
director,
brett
stewart,
our
community
project
manager,
working
on
volunteer
fire
and
other
critical
emergency
services
as
they
emerge.
F
Sarah
downing,
our
community
project
manager
focused
on
the
executive
committee,
eric
mcadan
dang
our
second
year,
gisbia
student
intern
working
on
climate
and
fire
and
eric
robb,
our
community
project
manager,
largely
in
charge
of
infrastructure
and
utility
coordination
and
the
climate
action
plan.
So
thank
you
guys,
you're
all
the
best.
Thank.

Our
next
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
may
be
before,
city,
council,
profanity
and
threats
will
not
be
permitted.
May
we
have
the
first
registered
speaker
and
you'll?
Have
please
state
your
name
and
neighborhood
for
the
record
and
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak,
and
our
first
registered
speaker
is
dr
ronald
lynn,
miller,
dr
miller.
H
You
won't
get
one
digo
led
confederative
councils
of
mohawk,
seneca,
onondaga,
cayuga
or
nida
that
influence
the
development
of
the
u.s
federalist
constitution.
Equity
is
nowhere
in
the
u.s
constitution
or
the
declaration
of
independence.
H
Equality
of
of
being
and
citizenship
is,
but
not
material.
Equality
may
2022
week.
Three
is
the
gis
sponsored
south
north
american
intelligence
week?
I
and
the
gis
have
a
link
with
buenos
aires
argentina,
a
concern,
I
think
an
obsession
of
pittsburgh
city
council
is
equity
in
citizen
and
counselor
time
for
public
comment.
No,
no.
It
is,
however,
non-u.s
pennsylvania,
constitutional
ideology
of
equity
over
the
u.s
declaration
of
independence
and
usc
ideal
of
the
quality
examples.
H
The
gender
equity
commission
that
unequally
excludes
almost
all
males
men,
ms
gross
ms
strasberger,
ms
kale
smith,
have
signed
on
to
this.
As
far
as
I
know,
race,
equity,
money
for
black
political
empowerment
group.
H
This
is
an
inequality,
zero
dollars
that
I
know
off
for
non-black
political
empowerment
groups,
the
house
equity
bias,
in
my
view,
anti-equalizing
for
a
non-white,
materially
poorer
people
for
housing,
support
and
tree
equity
for
all
of
the
the
plus
value
attached
to
the
trees
for
pittsburgh
proclamation
last
week
and
the
booming,
but
science
zero
ra
rawing
from
a
looming
over
at
all
ganey.
You
have
no
mathematical
model
for
operationalizing
tree
equity
in
this
city.
H
Compare
and
contrast
tree
lining.
This
is
a
tree
equity
scenario,
trees
lining
one
mile,
1.609
kilometers
of
murray
avenue
from
forbes
in
district
5
toward
giant
eagle
and
squirrel
hill.
10
oak
trees
lining
same
number
of
kilometers
off
east
carson
street,
from
10th
in
district
3,
south
side
toward
copies
of
course,
and
5
maple

are
worth
more
than

A

I

Here
is
a
speech
that
was
given
at
my
husband's
funeral.
Michael
j,
mullen
reflection
by
battalion
chief
douglas
kraskovic
retired
deputy
chief
mike
mullen
touched
the
lives
of
many
people.
His
uncompromising
dedication
to
his
sworn
duty
to
provide
for
the
safety
of
the
citizens
of
pittsburgh
was
truly
exceptional
and
one
that
should
be
emulated
by
every
firefighter.
I
He
loved,
sharing
his
knowledge
of
firefighting
in
all
its
many
aspects,
to
make
our
firefighters,
safer,
smarter
and
more
efficient
on
the
fire
ground
mike
knew
most
of
the
firefighters
on
the
entire
pittsburgh
bureau
of
fire
by
their
first
name
and
was
always
approachable
regardless
of
prank.
If
you
had
a
question,
he
would
stop
what
he
was
doing
to
answer
it.
He
worked
tirelessly,
but
also
energetically
his
entire
career.
In
pursuit
of
more
knowledge,
his
legacy
will
serve
our
citizens
and
firefighters
for
years
to
come.
Mike
was
a
loving
and
compassionate
husband.
I
Our
community
made
it
extremely
clear
at
our
town
hall
meeting
in
may
of
2021
that
we
oppose
a
detrimental
property,
join
our
supporters,
mayor,
daney,
councilman,
coghill
and
state
representative
venom
for
the
creation
of
a
green
space.
The
michael
mullen
memorial
green
space
is
the
solution
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
our
community
shady
trees,
not
shady
deals
and
bonaire.
Thank
you.

It's

thank
you

I
should
say
that
it's

then
we
can.
We
have
a
now
move
on

which
we
need

Madam

can
we

start

Thank.
B
A
Have
a
motion
to
approve
who
moved?
Second,
second,
any
discussion,
I'm
just
going
to
say
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
everyone.
A
I
hope
that
we
have
a
relationship
like
we
had
when
I
first
was
elected,
where
we
were
able
to
work
directly
with
the
directors
and
they
responded
immediately
to
city
council,
and
I
think
that
you
know
reverend
burgess
and
some
of
us
have
had
the
discussion
that
how
important
that
is,
we
serve
the
people,
we're
the
front
line
for
the
people,
and
so
it's
important
that
they
get
back
to
us
immediately
and
and
promptly.
A
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
looking
forward
to
that
type
of
relationship
and
working
with
these
members,
because
I
think
that
they've
all
been
working
as
acting
and
I
want
and
we
appreciate
their
their
service
to
the
city.
It's
one
of
the
greatest
things
you
can
do
is
serve
the
the
residents
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
It's
an
honor
for
all
of
us
and
it's
an
honor
for
them
to
also
have
this
opportunity.
So
I
hope
that
we're
working
with
them
really
well
and
looking
forward
to
our
relationships
in
the
future.

of
got
thrown
into

the
fire
together
with

two
winters,

beat

E
You

storms.

Okay-
and
with
that
said,
we
have
a
anything
from
members,
do
anything
for
members
saying
then
I
just
want
to
also
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
for
an
executive
session
on
inclusionary
zoning.
Can
you
make
that
motion
council,
or
one
of
you.
M
I'm
sorry
motion
to
hold
executive
sex
of
executive
session.
It's
been
a
while
on
inclusionary
zoning
exactly.
A
Thank
you
any
discussion,
all
in
favor,
thank
you,
and
I
do
want
to
just
mention
that
we
did
receive
the
transition
report.
Well,
we
read
about
it
in
the
media
and
there's
a
lot
to
be
said,
and
I
think
that
we'll
be
calling
for
a
televised
public
hearing
post
agenda
on
that
as
well.
A
There's
a
lot
in
there
and
I'm
just
going
to
say
I
had
a
little
bit
of
conversation
about
some
of
the
things
in
there
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
say
it
very
clearly
that
chief
schubert
has
built
an
amazing
reputation
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
working
with
the
immigrant
community,
the
black
community,
the
older
people
in
the
community,
the
young
people
in
the
community,
a
huge
reputation
in
the
disability
community
and
just
on
and
on
he's
just
done,
a
tremendous
amount
of
outreach
community
meetings,
community
efforts-
and
so
with
that
said,
it's
always
a
the
mayor's
prerogative
to
have
whomever
he'd,
like
as
the
chief
well,
not
whomever.
A
A
If
there
are
going
to
be
any
changes,
we
want
it
to
be
with
respect
and
gratitude,
and
so
with
that
said,
I
will
say
that
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
have
some
conversations
about
the
overall
report
and
they
need
to
be
public
and
maybe
filing
for
some
right
to
knows
so
with
that
said,
but
hopefully
we'll
have
a
good
relationship
and
talk
worthless
through
this
with
the
administration.
Anything
else
from
members
with
that
said,
can
I
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
meeting?
Excuse
the
absent
member.
