Oh,

A
I
A
J
A
B
It's
for
Bobby's
legislation.
A
Yes,
we
have
been
I
was
waiting
for
the
last
set
of
amendments
to
arrive
for
councilman
Burgess.
Now
that
everyone
has
their
packets
of
amendments,
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
director
mcdivitt
our
budget
director
to
walk
us
through
each
Amendment
and
then
we'll
vote
on
each
one
at
it
at
a
time
and
we're
going
to
begin
with
personal
related
amendments.
A
I
So
first,
what
I
have
is
the
amendment
sent
over
from
the
administration
so
we'll
go
over
their
operating
amendments
and
their
Capital
amendments
and
then
we'll
go
through
councils
proposed
amendments.
So
the
First
Amendment
for
the
operating
budget
from
the
administration
is
to
add
one
press
officer
to
the
mayor's
budget
for
a
56
652.
in
2023,
with
a
five-year
impact
of
294
821
dollars.
H
J
No
just
curious:
is
this
a
sort
of
I,
don't
know
how
to
ask
a
sort
of
compensation
for
not
putting
cable
Bureau
into
the
mayor's
office.
This
is
to
assist
with
yes,
press
Communications.
Okay,
I
can
support
that.
Thank
you.
J
I
Amendment
operating
operating
sorry
transferring
one
position
from
planning
to
the
mayor's
office
and
changing
the
title.
There
is
no
dollar
amount
change
for
this.
H
I
H
E
I
Number
four
is
a
salary
correction
in
finance
and

B
I

I

A

G

A
M
Sure
so
this
amendment
came
out
the
request
of
director
Schmidt.
It
would
drop
the
total
number
of
school
crossing
guards
from
78
to
75,
which
we
believe
is
the
number
right
now
that
that
we
can
sustain
with
our
existing
Crossing
postings,
and
there
are
further
implications.
We
can
go
into
it
offline
about
where
and
where
a
crossing
guard
Canon
cannot
be
placed
due
to
state
law.
You
know
they
have
to
be
related
to
schools,
they
have
to
be
CR.
Excuse
me
Crossing
children,
so
there
are.
M
There
are
a
lot
of
different
stipulations
as
to
to
where
the
guards
can
and
cannot
be.
M
M
Within
the
second
round,
there
are
62,
as
of
the
first
pay
period
in
December.
L
B
You
I
heard
your
comment
about
the
state
laws
saying
where,
where
crossing
guard
cannot
go,
but
in
terms
of
DPW
and
now
Domi
stop
signs
have
a
place
where
they
can
and
cannot
go
to.
However,
a
director
has
the
ability,
if
it's
a
public
safety
issue,
to
override
those
those
state
laws
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
it's
similar
with
a
Crossing
work
and
I,
also
noticed
that
there
are
crossing
guards.
B
There
are
not
crossing
guards
where
there
were
places
where
crossing
guards
were
originally
so
I
do
think
that
there
still
is
room
for
crossing
guards
and
it
is
a
priority
of
not
only
us
but
of
our
residents.
So
I
think
that
you
know
maybe
take
that
back
and
we
could
try
to
work
through
whatever
the
concerns
are,
but
I
I'm
not
going
to
vote
for
this
today.
Thank
you.
C
M
The
Department
of
Public
Safety
has
that
information.
We
can
get
that
back
to
you
right.
M
The
numbers
have
been
slowly
decreasing
and
I
know
and
in
the
last
go
around
with
collective
bargaining,
we
did
increase
rates
in
an
attempt
to
recruit.
You
know
with
the
driver's
license
changes
it
changes.
The
the
administration
is
certainly
trying
to
recruit
more
we're
still
trying.
C
To
you
say
driver's
license
change,
you
mean
you
no
longer
need
a
driver's
license.
A
basic
crossing
guard:
okay,
okay,.
G
J
Cross
thanks
Mr
chairperson,
thanks
for
being
here.
J
Patrick
thanks
for
being
here
and
thank
you
Mr
chair
for
this
moment
in
time
at
the
direction
of
public
safety
director,
Schmidt
I'll,
take
his
recommendation
on
this
and
I'll
vote
the
amendment
today,
but
I
would
like
to
have
a
deeper
discussion
by
the
time
we
final
vote
on
it.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
H
H
I
Operating
amendment
number
10
is
adding
two
project
managers
in
DPW
facilities
for
a
total
of
one
hundred.
Ninety
seven
thousand
eight
six
hundred
forty
five
dollars
in
2023
with
a
one
million
thirty
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
ten
dollar
increase
over
the
next
five
years,
Bush
to
approve
second.
G
J
The
action
that
we're
taking
here
in
readjusting
these
different
salary
line,
items
and
positions
is
in
keeping
with
council's
desire
to
ensure
Cola
increases
remain
consistent
with
what
they've
been
in
the
past.
J
E
J
E
E
I
C
I
I
The
salary
in
2023
is
going
from
49
836
dollars
to
sixty
one
thousand
five
hundred.
Ninety.
I
Number
12
is
adding
two
positions
to
the
stop:
the
violence
trust
fund
for
a
total
of
eighty
one
thousand
one
hundred
eighteen
dollars
in
2023,
with
a
five-year
increase
of
554,
000
and
ten
dollars.
Second,
discussion.
I
Number
13
is
updating
the
PJ
CBC
Health
Care
rates
in
the
general
fund,
which
comes
to
a
savings
of
two
hundred.
Sixteen
thousand
nine
hundred
forty
eight
dollars
with
a
one
million
two
hundred
and
twenty
two
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
four
thousand
dollar
in
decrease
over
five
years.
I
I
C
J
Curious
about
the
the
the
management
and
implementation
of
of
the
of
the
love,
your
block.
Lots
of
people
clearly
love
the
funding
and
they
do
use
it
reasoning
behind
moving.
E
M
J
E
I
J
Motion
to
approve
brief
discussion,
please
thank
you.
Thank
you
again.
It's
one
of
the
most
attractive
reasons:
people
choose
employment
in
the
cities
to
finish
your
education.
It's
happened
in
my
office
and
the
number
of
times
with
staff
that
have
come
in
and
and
finished
her
education.
So
this
is
not
strictly
limited
to
to
being
held
within
the
mayor's
office.
It's
city-wide
to
to
people
that
wish
to
finish
education
while
they're
having
their
employment
in
Pittsburgh.
M
J
M
No,
the
the
HR
policy
you
know
says
that
per
director
approval
and
availability
of
funding.
So
this
is
just
allowing
those
funds
to
be
available
if
someone
does
want
to
go
back
to
school.
E
M
M
J
E
M
Be
so
this
would
be
a
pool
of
funds
and,
as
as
individuals
are
approved
for
their
programming,
it
would
start
to
draw
down
from
that.
So
so
it's.
M
Back
that
is
correct
at
this
point.
There
are
not.
The
mayor's
office
does
not
have
a
lot
of
known
individuals
who
are
participating
in
the
program.
This.
J
I
Amendment
number
three
is
in
OMB:
it's
increasing
swpa
commission
membership
dues
by
seven
thousand
dollars
per
year
and
adding
fifty
two
thousand
dollars
for
the
200
Ross
Property
Maintenance
in
2023..
Second,.
E
I
I
Debt
Service,
due
to
Oliver
Bath
House,
adding
all
of
her
bath
house
to
the
bond
issuance
for
a
total
of
1
million.
Eighty
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
over
five
years.
J
Want
to
recognize
the
the
new
administration's
continuing
commitments
to
the
Oliver
bath
house
and
the
the
importance
that
it
is
really
to
all
of
Southwest
Pittsburgh
and
the
amazing
history.
It
has
I
appreciate
everything
the
paduto
administration
did
to
contribute
to
the
restoration
and
and
salvation
of
this
building,
which
is
in
sort
of
need
of
repair
and
I,
especially
want
to
thank
and
show
my
appreciation
to
the
gain
the
administration
for
continuing
the
work
on
the
Oliver
bath
house.
E
M
And
this
is
also
related
to
the
resolution
703
that
was
passed
just
a
few
weeks
ago.
Okay,.
F
So
is
the
is
the
money?
Are
we
increasing
positions?
Are
we
increasing
salaries
of
the
people
who
are
already
in
position.
M
Salaries
I
believe
that
the
the
union
represent,
that
represents
the
guards
have
a
new
contract.
Okay,.
E
A
Aye
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation,
non-personal
operating
amendment
number
six
number.
I
M
Sure
so
this
is
a
budget
line
that
was
added
in
with
the
amended
2021
budget,
given
that
it
was
originally
American
Rescue
plan
funded
that
funding
does
have
to
stop
at
the
end
of
2024.
M
At
that
time,
Public
Works
will
be
able
to
absorb
the
rest.
So
this
is
just
correcting
that.
J
Okay,
that
that
makes
me
feel
a
whole
lot
better.
So
you're
you're
saying
that
if
the
the
arpa
the
rescue
monies
had
not
been
used,
they'll
be
redistributed
through
Public
Works,
they
will
ultimately
be
used.
They
just
can't
be
used
for
Public
Safety
facilities.
That
is
correct
and
what's
the
definition
of
Public
Safety
facilities,
it's
it's
broad
terminology,
correct.
M
So
one
of
the
guidelines
that
treasury
had
articulated
is
being
able
to
spend
these
funds
on
things
that
would
promote
Public
Safety
within
communities
when
that
plan
originally
moved
in
2021.
Some
of
that
was
related
to
moving
some
of
the
police
operations
to
Woodruff
Street.
Some
of
that
was
related
to
work
being
done
in
the
south
side
and
I
believe
at
the
time.
Some
of
it
was
work
being
done
in
Homewood.
I
would
need
to
check
with
director
hornstein,
to
see
where
those
have
moved.
J
Thank
you
were
some
of
these
funds
originally
dedicated
to
the
old
Zone
3
at
18th
and
Mary
I
believe
so
yeah,
and
so
is
there.
We
probably
should
take
this
offline.
It's
probably
a
bigger
discussion,
but
are
you?
Are
you
comfortable
in
in
saying
that,
as
the
funding
shifts
into
the
Department
of
Public
Works
that
there
will
be
a
continuation
to
the
commitment
of
the
of
the
renovation
of
that
project.
J
Yeah
I
I
I'll
be
happy
to
do
that.
You
have
enough
to
do
I'll
I'll
continue.
I
I
I
I
and
I'm,
not
speaking
out
of
turn
I've
had
my
concerns
about
a
possible
lack
of
or
a
shift
in
commitment
to
completing
that
project
which
I've
been
advocating
for
for
about
12
years
now
so,
and
we
got
very
close
to
getting
that
two-thirds
of
the
way
done
and
then
I
kind
of
stopped.
But
thank
you
appreciate
it.
J
E
J
E
I
M
I'm,
the
senior
trust
fund
is
how
our
healthy
active
living
centers
there's
a
lot
of
that
staff
is
paid
and
program
is
paid
for
that
money
comes
in
from
the
county
and
from
our
community
development
block
grants,
and
this
was
we
need
to
take
a
better
look
next
year
at
the
funding,
for
that
particular
special
revenue
account.
So
we
had
anticipated
a
one-time
transfer
to
to
make
sure
there
was
enough
funding,
but
we're
able
to
to
reduce
that
because
of
the
cdbg
funding.
G
Got
it
there
I
just
want
to
clarify,
so
it
is
still
increasing
by
200,
225,
000
or
so
over
five
years.
Just.
G
2023
great
great,
so
I'm
actually
grateful
for
that.
We
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
parks
and
Rex
is
doing.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
the
healthy
active
living
centers
are
doing,
and
certainly
we
we
heard
a
lot
about
that
in
the
budget
hearing
from
Parks
and
Rec
and
I'm
supportive
of
we're
still
increasing
the
funding
just
for
this
next
year,
and
then
we
can
reevaluate
all
right.
I
appreciate
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
A
Opposed
affirmative
recommendations,
we
will
now
move
on
to
the
administration's
amendments
to
the
capital
budget,
so
capital
budget
amendment
number
one.
I
Capital
amendment
number
one-
and
this
was
actually
discussed
whenever
the
Ura
came
to
the
table
for
their
budget
hearing,
it
is
associating
direct
Ura
Personnel
cost
to
the
appropriate
projects
for
cdbg
funding.
There's
no
actual
dollar
change.
E
E
J
Refrigeration
please,
second,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
my
comments
as
to
the
importance
of
this
building.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
over
the
years
who
have
unanimously
supported
this
project
time
and
time
and
time
again
and
which
I
left
out
the
first
time
and
I
didn't
mean
to
do
that
and
again
the
the
continuing
commitment
to
the
administration
and
understanding
the
Gandhi
Administration
to
understand
the
importance
of
all
over
Bath
House
in
the
history
that
it
has
and
the
significance
to.
B
I
Was
once
a
young
bright-eyed,
Asset
Management
analyst,
who
sat
at
this
table
and
talked
to
council
about
selling
that
building
and
he
was
yelled
at
a
lot?
What.
I
Come
a
long
way,
I
mean,
thankfully,
now
we're
fully
investing
in
it
to
make
it
back
to
the
standard
that
it
should
have
been
for
a
long
time
really
appreciate.
I
A
G
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it.
I
am
I
have
to
admit
on
this
neck,
this
page
of
the
administrative
capital
budget
amendments.
The
font
is
incredibly
tiny.
G
G
G
Know
that
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
pools,
since
so
many
council
members
have
talked
about
and
worked
on
reopening
more
pools.
We
are
grateful.
The
administration
was
able
to
open
I,
think
three
more
pools
this
year,
but
we're
still
really
not
up
to
our
pre-covered
a
number
of
pools,
which
was
still
down
dramatically
over
the
last
10
15
years.
G
So
I
think
we
as
council
members
should
even
we
can
do
continue
to
do
capital
budget
amendments,
and
we
know
that
we
we
have
other
pools
that
need
to
be
fixed
right
and
so,
but
it's
both
the
capital
budget
type
repairs
to
pools
and
the
investment
in
parks
and
rec
and
lifeguards
that
go
together
to
actually
get
pools
open
and
keep
them
open.
So
I
was
part
of
this
today,
but
we
have
more
pools
to
talk
about
like
West,
Penn
and
polish
Hill
so
appreciate
it.
I
J
A
Aye
for
the
opposed
affirmative
recommendation.
Thank
you.
We
will
now
move
on
to
City
council's
operating
amendments.
First
amendment
is
number
one.
Amendment.
J
You
Mr
chair
this
one
was
especially
important
to
all
members
of
Council
in
ensuring
that
cost
of
living
increases
remained
consistent
with
employees
that
have
clearly
dedicated
Decades
of
their
lives
to
service
in
the
city.
My
question
for
you,
Peter,
is
this:
the
non-union
salary
by
one
percent
in
2023
is
the
one
percent
in
addition
to
what
was
originally
recommended.
That.
J
That
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
make
that
public.
So
then
in
in
20
2024
it
goes
up
two
percent,
it's
zero
from
zero,
so
it
will
be
two
percent
total
in
2024,
20,
25
and
2026
will
also
be
two
percent.
Yes,.
J
So
employees
that
are
that
are
listening
and
watching
in
here
they
know
how
to
plan
their
finances
accordingly.
For
the
year
23,
there
will
be
a
cost
of
living
increase
of
three
percent
for
non-union
employees,
24
will
be
2.
25
26
will
also
be
two
percent
for
all
non-union
employees
appreciate
it.
This
was
really
important.
Peter
you
and
Ria,
and
members
really
appreciate
your
support
on
this
one.
This
was
one
of
the
more
important
ones
just
for
Council
to.
I
See
corrected
so
yeah
and
and
I
I
can't
thank
and
give
enough
credit
to
to
the
deputy
director
Ria
price,
who
has
really
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this
and
also
with
the
administration.
We
didn't
just
choose
these
positions.
These
were
not
something
the
council
just
picked
out
of
thin
air
in
the
budget.
I
We
worked
with
the
administration
to
see
where
we're
very
excited
for
all
the
positions
that
they
wanted
to
add
so
where
we
could,
it
was
most
tolerable
to
take
these
positions
from,
and
also
just
to
note
that
we
made
those
percentage
changes
so
that
we
can
follow
the
afscme
2719
Union,
which
is
what
the
City
generally
follows
for
non-union
employees.
So
now
it's
lined
up
with
what
they
have
or
projected.
B
B
We
all
do
but
I
think
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
with
what
we
have
and
I
think
I
really
do
want
to
thank
the
administration
because
they
have
been
really
good
to
work
through
on
this
budget,
I
mean
there
was
a
lot
of
times.
B
G
I
think
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
council,
leadership
and
members
of
council
who
you
know,
work
together
with
the
administration
and
our
budget
office,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
public
understands
that
there's
nobody
losing
their
job.
In
order
to
do
this,
that
these
were
just
brand
new
positions
that
were
reduced
from
100
and
40
200.
G
A
700
or
so
non-represented
employees
who
were
getting
less
than
everyone
else,
as
an
increase
and
now
we're
kind
of
bringing
up
to
three
percent,
but
also
acknowledging
just
for
the
record
that
inflation
is
still
around
seven
or
eight
percent
food
inflation.
Food
costs
are
above
that,
and
so
it's
which
is
more
of
a
burden
on
our
lower
income.
Households
across
the
city
which
are
up
at
about
11,
and
so
we
wish
we
could
do
more.
But
it
was
significant
work
in
negotiating
to
to
even
get
us
up
to
the
three
percent.
B
E
B
A
E
I
Number
two:
since
there
are
none
or
there
are
non-union
civilian
employees
in
the
police
Bureau,
because
we
increase
from
two
percent
to
three
percent,
we
will
be
increasing
the
transfer
to
the
stop
the
violence
trust
fund
for
an
additional
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
over
five
years.
I
It's
two
thousand
three
hundred
and
twelve
dollars
in
2023
and
seventy
two
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
three
dollars
in
the
outer
years.
Mr.
A
Opposed
permission,
recommendation
operating
amendment
number
three.
I
J
Motion
to
approve
brief
discussions,
please
thanks.
Mr
chair
appreciate
it
Peter
to
find
the
out
years.
That
is,
over
the
next
five
years,
the
next
five,
so
23,
four
five,
six
four.
J
Okay
and
the
total
being
105
000
over
all
of
those
years
or
each
of
those
years
overall,.
E
J
All
those
years
so
I,
you
know,
I
think
it's
a
it's
an
appropriate
time
to
to
to
give
honor
and
respect
to
our
Clark's
office
and
the
people
that
work
on
this
floor
and
the
very
difficult
jobs
that
we
ask
them
to
do,
which
is
managing
nine
stray
cats
on
a
good
day
and
and
they
you
know
they
do
it
with
professionalism
and
and
Grace,
and-
and
it's
just
important
that
we
take
time
to
say
thank
you
for
what
it
is
that
you
do
and
how
important
it
is
that
you
be
here
and
that
you
serve
us
so
to
to
all
the
staff.
J
That's
on
the
the
council
side
of
the
fifth
floor,
I'm
happy
to
to
support
these.
These
minor
increases
in
in
wage
and
salary,
and
just
tell
you
how
much
we
appreciate
what
you
do.
A
I
Operating
amendment
number
four:
these
include
some
budget
cleanups
for
Council
as
a
body
budget
accounts
that
hasn't
been
done,
and
sometimes
it's
more
closely
reflective
of
the
JD
Edwards
accounting.
There's
no
actual
cost
changes,
we're
just
lining
up
those
dollars
with
the
more
appropriate
buckets
that
they
should
be
coming
out
of.
E
A
I
Number
five
is
a
title
change
for
a
position
in
Domi
it
an
increase
of
11
815
in
2023,
and
an
overall
increase
of
fifty
three
thousand
six
hundred
eighteen
dollars
in
the
outer
years.
J
Yes,
second,
brief
discussion.
Please
Peter,
can
you
help
me
understand
why
we
would
be
doing
a
title
change
in
the
department
of
Mobility
infrastructure
under
Council
operating
amendments.
I
This
was
a
request,
in
particular
for
Domi
employees,
who
have
to
regularly
work
with
Council
and
to
really
bring
them
to
the
in
line
with
other
employees
that
work
in
Domi
and
tpw
to
change
their
title
from
an
operations
manager
to
a
superintendent.
Okay,
thank.
J
L
Just
trying
to
understand
this
further
does
this
then
translate
into
a
promotion
of
an
existing
position,
or
is
this
a
brand
new
position
that
does
not
currently
exist?
It.
I
Changes
the
operations
manager,
so
it
takes
that
out
of
the
budget
and
creates
a
new
position
for
a
superintendent.
I
L
I
Operating
amendment
number
six
is
adding
an
administrative
assessment
assistant
to
the
cprb.
It's
an
increase
of
sixty
four
thousand
thirty
two
dollars
in
2023
and
an
overall
increase
of
282
631
dollars
in
the
outer
years.
Motion.
I
E
J
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
recognize
council
president
Kel
Smith,
and
we
had
a
brief
conversation
about
this
and
I'm
sure
you
had
everything
to
do
with
getting
this
on
here.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
doing
that.
You
know
you.
A
J
J
Night
and
the
the
work
the
cprb
does
is
incredibly
valuable
to
to
you
know
the
the
entire
Public
Safety
department
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
If
you
will
and
Beth
you
know,
she's
just
one
of
the
hardest
working
people,
I
think
I've
met
in
the
history
of
the
years
that
I've
that
I've
been
here
and
I.
Think
Beth
said
of
her
hearing.
She's
did
she
say
35
years
or
28
years
or
20.
J
Yeah
I
mean
time
just
flies,
but
yeah,
but
I
just
greatly
appreciate
that
members
are
willing
to
support
this
and
and
give
Beth
the
the
work
that
she
needs
and
I'm
still
going
to
say.
I
think
this
is
cancer
president
Smith
that
got
dishonor.
So
thank
you
yeah.
It
wasn't
thank.
C
I
I'm
not
sure
that
she
gave
a
dollar
amount
at
that
hearing,
but
she
did
Express
a
desire
for.
C
Oh
I
remember
that
I
told
her
I
would
support
it
too,
but
I
remember
thirty
thousand.
Maybe
maybe
I
was
wrong.
I
don't
know
anybody.
E
C
Gonna
support
it
so
I'm,
just
curious,
I,
I
thought
I.
Remember
it
being
substantially
less,
but
we
don't
have
record
of
that.
There
was
nothing
on.
F
Can
I
just
say
this
is
not
specific
to
this
bill,
but
just
generally
because
I'm,
new
and
I
don't
know,
maybe
for
the
public
too,
as
they're
listening
to
this
or
perhaps
looking
at
these
documents,
it
might
be
helpful
to
have
either
a
legend
at
the
bottom
or
somewhere,
where
you're
using
acronyms,
where
they're
actually
defined
like
before.
You
know
to
spell
it
out
and
then
put
the
acronyms
in
parentheses.
Afterwards,
at
first
mentioned
and
afterwards
you
can
use
it.
E
I
Seven
will
be
moving
The,
Print,
Shop,
cable,
Bureau
and
web
positions
from
the
mayor's
office
back
to
the
Department
of
innovation
and
performance.
There
is
no
change
in
the
budget
to
that.
I
D
B
J
Yeah
yeah
I
I
especially
want
to
recognize
Council
leadership
and
thank
Council
leadership
for
their
due
diligence
on
this
I.
Don't
believe,
there
was
a
a
member
that
found
any
level
of
support
in
in
doing
this,
and,
and
it
just
shows
what
we
do
when
we
work
together,
collectively
and
cooperatively
between
ourselves
and
with
administrators,
and
we're
able
to
achieve
the
things
that
we
think
are
in
the
best
interest
of
of
everyone.
So
this
was
this
was
a
pretty
big
jump,
but
but
leadership
took.
E
I
Operating
amendment
number
eight
I'm
actually
gonna,
give
you
a
different
number,
that's
in
front
of
you,
but
there
will
be
an
additional
950
000
transfer
in
the
2023
capital
budget.
I
Oh
sorry,
for
it's,
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
capital
budget
for
Allegheny
Commons
north
for
the
Pittsburgh
Parks
conservancy,
and
there
will
be
an
additional
150
000
for
the
capital
budget
for
the
West
Westwood
School
field
concession
stands.
So
it's
a
total
of
950
000
increase
into
the
parks,
tax
reconstruction,
capital
of
mine
motion.
I
Just
where
there
might
be
some
confusion,
yes,
so
amendment
number
eight
on
your
list
is
to
transfer
funding
to
the
parks,
tax
trust
fund.
An
amendment
number
eight
in
your
list
of
amendments
on
the
different
pages
is
to
transfer
additional
Pago
for
the
Brownsville
Road
study.
A
If
members
you're
going
to
need
to
refer
to
the
actual
amendments
themselves,
because
this
sheet
is
a
little
off,
we
apologize
but
operating
amendment
number
eight
is
transferring
Pago
dollars
to
a
Brownsville
Road
study.
It
is
presented
by
councilman
cockhill
the
amount
of
fifty
one
thousand
two
hundred
eleven
dollars.
A
I
D
J
I
I
I
Operating
amendment
number
nine
is
adding
950
000,
transferring
it
to
from
Parks
tax
money
to
the
capital
budget.
G
Thank
you
I
just
want
to
again
add
that
this
is
a
transfer
into
the
capital
budget
from
a
trust,
the
same
trust
fund,
so
the
parts
test
trust
fund,
so
the
First
Amendment
for
the
pool
in
councilman,
Lavelle
and
councilman
Wilson's
kind
of
close
together
District
was
a
hundred
thousand.
It.
I
M
G
That
makes
so
that
makes
a
1.2
million
I
mean
yeah
1.2
million
from
Parks,
so
we've
made
the
capital
budget
larger
so
far
by
1.2
million
by
taking
it
out
of
parks,
trust
fund,
which
we
talked
about
over
the
course
of
a
full
year
about
how
to
allocate
these
dollars
and
decided
that
it
should
be
done
as
line
items
in
front
of
councils.
G
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
this
is
kind
of
what
we
intended
to
do
from
the
beginning
when
we
were
putting
amendments
on
the
table,
but
how
to
allocate
and
structure
the
trust
fund,
and
for
these
reasons
so
that
we
could
be
responsive
to
community
needs
with
this.
This
is
additional
dollars
invested
into
parks
that
wouldn't
have
been
there.
Otherwise.
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion.
What
is
the
sponsor
of
this
amendment
as
well
too
Madam
clerk
councilman
cross
would
like
to
be
noted
as
a
sponsor.
Yes,.
A
I
Capital
amendment
number
one
is
to
reallocate
four
hundred
and
two
thousand
twenty
three
dollars
within
the
streets
resurfacing:
budget
by
reducing
the
asphalt
paving
program,
deliverable
and
creating
two
new
deliverables
for
land
Court,
concrete
upgrades
land,
Court
Concrete
Street
upgrades
for
two
hundred
fourteen
thousand
eight
hundred
eighty
eight
dollars
and
Lyndon
Lane
Concrete
Street
upgrades
for
187
135
dollars
was.
L
I
Amendment
number
two
relates
to
the
operating
amendment
number
eight,
it's
adding
fifty
one
thousand
two
hundred
eleven
dollars
of
pay
go
funding
to
complete
streets
for
the
Brownsville
Road
study,
Bush
to
approve.
E
I
Capital
amendment
number
three
will
be
reallocating:
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
within
Park

for
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
Marmaduke
Deck
Hockey,
electric
scoreboard
and
Dasher
system
for
one
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars.
What's
your
proof?
Second,.
K
K
This
is
moving
a
project,
that's
actually
just
part
of
the
project.
The
Allegheny
Corner
Commons
Court
upgrades
the
light
system
in
there
is
the
most
important
part
of
the
project
and
then
the
Allegheny
Commons
East
plan,
so
that's
been
reduced
and
then
the
remaining
funds
go
to
these
other
three
projects.
K
The
Allegheny
Commons
East
plan
is
what's
going
to
happen
at
the
Hampton
battery,
which
is,
you
know,
been
on
the
news
several
times
as
open
air
drug
market
and
we
went
you
know
it
was
great
to
go
to
the
community
with
the
mayor
and
talk
about
the
commitment
to
re-envisioning
what
that
Park
can
look
like,
there's
a
lot
of
empty
space,
and
so
looking
forward
to
this
funding,
moving
forward
some
strategic
planning
and
Design
and
then
and
then
was
able
to
fill
in
some
other
projects
in
the
district.
E
I
Amendment
number
four
related
to
operating
amendment
number
nine
adds
nine
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
Parks
tax
funding
to
the
park.
Reconstruction
Park
stack
project
for
Allegheny,
Commons,
North,
Promenade,
Pittsburgh,
Parks
Conservancy
for
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
Westwood
School
field
concession
stands
for
one
hundred.
Fifty
thousand
dollars
motion.
I
K
A
Any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation.
We
have
one
last
Capital
budget
amendment
which
is
not
before
Council.
It
was
yes,
oh.
A
I
Director,
if
you
want
to
read
it
so
this
will
be
an
amendment
to
Sharp
a
budget.
It
will
reduce
street
lights,
LED
street
lights
in
2022
from
4
million
dollars
to
zero
dollars,
and
it
will
increase
the
Pittsburgh
Land
Bank
support
in
2023
from
one
million
dollars
to
four
million
dollars
and
add
a
line
in
the
2023
budget
for
medical
debt
relief
from
zero
to
one
million
dollars.
I
J
I
guess
large,
largely
the
the
urgency
by
which
it
is
being
presented
and
I
I
did
a
little
bit
of
research
of
this.
This
company
4-1-1
debt
really
rip
medical.
I
J
Oh
okay,
so
so
in
that
regard,
I
have
reservation,
but
my
my
in
in
in
the
swiftness
with
which
it's
moving
and
I
don't
have
I,
don't
feel
we
have
ample
time
to
really
wrap
our
brain
about
it,
but
mostly
if,
if
I
were
to
cast
a
public
vote
to
reduce
Street
lighting
by
four
hundred
four.
E
J
They
have
advocated
for
improved
Lighting
in
in
Alleyways
and
as
side
streets
and
back
streets
for
the
years
that
I
have
been
in
here
and
we
have
been
promising
them
that
you
know,
with
with
the
passage
of
the
LED
lighting
and
and
the
commitments
that
we
made
through
multiple
years
here
on
budget,
that
one
day,
improved
lighting
would
actually
be
coming
to
those
neighborhoods,
Allentown
Arlington
included,
and
it
has
not
yet
and
if
I
were
to
sit
here
and
cast
a
vote
to
take
four
million
dollars
away
from
the
the
impact
on
on
the
the
safety
Health
well-being
of
you
know,
and
the
immediacy
of
residents
at
this
moment
in
time
to
to
enter
into
a
an
unknown
field
that
I
I,
don't
know
that
we
actually
have
Authority
or
power
to
to
to
add
into,
and
certainly
have
not
had
time
to
think
through
all
the
implications
of
whether
or
not
we
actually
are
able
to
do
that.
J
But
the
the
the
the
the
number
one
reason
really
is
I
would
be.
I
would
be
in
serious
betrayal
of
my
constituency.
That
has
has
so
a
vociferously
advocated
to
have
their
the
immediacy
of
their
health
safety
welfare
improved
by
having
better
Lighting
in
their
neighborhood
and
I.
Can't
I
can't
do
that.
So
those
are
my
comments
for
this
time.
I
may
have
additional
for
second
round,
though.
G
Appreciate
it
Mr
chair,
so
just
for
clarification.
This
is
a
motion
to
amend
the
arpa
budget,
which
is
right
and,
and
whose
motion
was
it
because
you.
J
G
G
G
Thank
you,
and
so
the
arpa
trust
fund.
Again
this
is
the
a
trust
fund.
That's
outside
really
I
mean
we
use
Capital
budgeting
processes.
It
is
not
actually
really
setting
a
budget
in
place
for
the
entirety
of
2023.
The
way
the
operating
budget
is
that
which
actually
closes
so
as
I
as
I've
mentioned
to
members
talking
about
the
medical
debt
issue,
I
think
we're
all
kind
of
interested
in
in
talking
more
about
it
and
learning
more
about
it.
Councilman
Wilson
first
approached
me
on
Friday.
G
He
presented
his
new
paper
today
as
a
new
resolution.
We
also
have
been
researching
it.
Looking
at
the
other
cities
models,
there
was
yesterday
even
a
governing
magazine
article
that
came
out
just
yesterday
about
the
issues
and
many
cities
are
also
exploring
it.
It
does
typically
use
in
the
other
cities
that
I've
found
arpa
funds.
I
think
we
need
to
look
and
see
how
relevant
it
is
to
our
vulnerable
population
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Certainly,
there
is
a
big
variation.
G
I
found
some
data
that
says
that
there
it's
possible
I'm,
not
sure
the
data
source,
but
that
there's
less
a
much
much
smaller
proportion
of
the
city
population
is
burdened
by
medical
debt
according
to
one
data
source,
I
think
it
was
like
wallet,
Hub
or
something
so
I'm,
not
actually
100,
sure
of
the
data
of
the
data
source
and
then
and
then
so
that's
the
resolution,
which
will
be
on
next
week's
standing
committee
agenda.
I,
don't
think
it
was
related.
G
The
amendment
today
could
be
done
in
two
weeks
in
four
weeks
and
six
weeks.
You
know
when
we're
comfortable
and
prioritizing
it
and
I
I'm
absolutely
open
to
that
conversation.
G
Do
we
need
to
create
a
capital
budget
line
today?
There's
no
budgetary
deadline
or
timeline
here,
so
it
was
just
at
the
will
of
the
sponsor
I
guess,
which
is
councilman
Burgess
for
this
amendment.
G
So
that's
the
issue
that
I
think
you
know
we
I
look
forward
to
exploring
kind
of
what
is
the
impact
and
the
need
in
the
community.
What
would
be
the
appropriate
amount
of
dollars?
I
think
the
source
of
funds
is
entirely
appropriate,
but
again,
there's
there's
absolutely
no
compulsion
to
to
do
that
that
our
Amendment
today
and
then
separately
at
the
restoration
of
the
funds
from
the
land
bank
right
as
I
said
multiple
times
before
we
have
48
months
to
actually
get
dollars
into
people's
hands
for
this.
G
This
source
of
funds,
this
arbitrust
funds
we
had
the
discussion
when
I
chaired
the
budget
hearing
for
the
Ura
and
the
land
bank
and
I
was
on
record
saying,
like
hey,
get
started
with
your
7
million
that
mayor
Gainey
has
proposed
in
his
amendments
and
if
you
get
through
it
in
48
months,
I'm
sure
there's
another
three
million
with
great
impact.
If
we,
if
we're
able
to
create
affordable
housing
with
the
land
bank
budget,
that
would
be
amazing,
even
though
it
hasn't
yet
to
date.
G
G
That
would
be
a
lot
if
I'm
doing
my
math
right,
I
always
look
at
Peter
doing
my
math
right
about
7
million
divided
by
48
months.
So
then
also
you
know,
and
it
doesn't
actually
have
to
be
the
upper
funds
that
are
source
of
funds
for
the
land
bank
operations.
G
So
it's
not
a
necessary
logical
Nexus
of
sources
and
uses
right
any
it
be.
There
will
be
funds
that
could
be
expended
from
different
sources
48
months
from
now.
If,
if
the
seven
eight
a
seven
million
is
expended
so
I
I,
you
know,
we've
been
all
consistent
in
our
public
comments
about
this.
We
also
addressed
it
when
we
had
the
city
controller
at
the
table,
and
he
said
he
is
a
bit
alarmed
that
there's
still
215
million
dollars
in
hand
in
the
arpa
trust
fund
and
I
said
again
in
multiple
discussions.
G
It's
Our
obligation
at
the
table
to
make
sure
that
these
federal
funds
that
do
have
a
ticking
clock
get
moved
to
meet,
Community
needs
right
and
and
and
whether
that's
the
array
and
whether
that's
the
land
bank
or
whether
that's
some
other
venue.
Really.
We
should
be
looking
at
all
of
the
ways
that
we
can
all
of
the
media,
all
of
the
all
of
the
venues
and
vectors
that
we
can
use
and
partners
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
meeting
the
need.
G
That's
there
for
coveted
relief,
which
is
what
the
American
Rescue
plan
dollars
are
for,
so
I
I
hesitate
to
I'm,
not
necessarily
a
fan
of
the
LED
street
lights.
I
also
made
many
comments
about
that.
I'm
still
skeptical
about
the
Technologies
I
would
definitely
like
to
hear
more
about
what
is
the
contract
that
this
Administration
is
entertaining
I?
Don't
I
believe
it
is
different
than
what
was
moving
forward
under
the
previous
administration
I.
G
Think
now,
that's
all,
but
what
does
need
to
move
forward
is
a
scope
right
and
that's
kind
of
different
than
what
was
moving
forward
before
where
the
previous
administration
was
trying
to
commit
us
to
one.
G
Basically,
almost
privatization
of
operations
like
a
a
operate,
a
maintain
agreement,
which
I
was
that's
kind
of
what
I
was
resisting.
We
learned
our
hard
lesson,
putting
pwsa
under
kind
of
corporate
control
for
a
few
years
that
ended
really
badly
and
so
I
believe
that
this
Administration
is
unattaching
that,
and
so
it
would
not
be
a
privatization
of
operations
for
street
lights
and
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that.
But
if
I
think
we
need
to
hear,
maybe
Patrick
needs
to
come
back
up
and
tell
us.
G
How
does
this
impact
the
the
scoping
out
so
that
we're
not
as
as
councilman
cross,
was
worrying
about
leaving
street
lights,
dark
or
or
not?
Replacing,
and
and
maintaining
our
current
infrastructure?
So
Hector
can
I
bring
you
back
up.
Do
you
mind
this
would
I
believe
that
moving
this,
this
one
line
of
arpa
might
actually
be
one
that
was
going
to
move
forward
and
actually
provide
services.
So
I
worry
about
zeroing
out
that
one.
M
Patrick
Cornell
deputy
director,
if
I
am
thinking
about
my
timelines
correctly,
the
LED
street
light
project
is
starting
to
move.
The
first
phase
is
more
of
the
study
and
then,
if
I
remember
correctly,
design
would
begin
next
year
to
start
spending
late,
23
through
24.
M
and
the
way
we
had
originally
thought
about
Led
street
lights.
Knowing
that
you
know
prior
arpa
budget
allocation
amendments
had
started
to
move
some
of
that
and
we
had
kind
of
backfilled
in
25
and
26
with
different
Capital
funding
sources.
M
So
we
are
still
expecting
the
project
to
move
forward.
You
know
the
timeline
shifted
a
little
bit,
but
it
is
moving.
M
If
I
may
ask
director
McDevitt,
which
arpa
budget
year
was
this
intending
to
pull
from
2022.
M
E
B
That
that's
going
towards
this
project
of
the
debt
for
the
medical
debt,
I,
don't
know
a
lot
about
the
company.
I
can't
I,
don't
know
anything
about
the
company.
I
want
to
do
my
due
diligence.
I
want
to
do
my
research
I
want
to
find
out
a
lot
of
times.
We
do
things
here
and
we
find
out
later
that,
okay,
that
company
had
some
you
know
they
did
do
this
in
this
city.
They
did
do
this
in
that
City,
but
they
did
something
totally
different
in
another
city
that
was
more
concerning
so
I.
B
You
know
I
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
do
we're
doing
what's
right,
but
I
also
have
said
that
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
Social
Services,
where
you're
taking
four
million
dollars
out
of
our
budget
for
social
services
and,
although
I
think
everybody
on
this
Council
wants
to
the
people
that
want
to
feed
people.
There's
people
that
want
to
put
you
know
do
things
for
medical
death.
There's
people
that
want
to
give
housing
heck
I
want
to
build
a
house
for
everyone.
Give
them
food,
give
them
everything
that
they
need
oftentimes.
B
Many
of
us
do
things
out
of
our
own
Pockets,
but
we're
here
today,
I
mean
we're
trying
to
we're
struggling
right.
Now
we
just
mentioned
projects
and
I,
can't
remember
what
it
was
just
a
few
minutes
ago
that
we
can't
do
because
we
don't
have
the
funding
for
it,
and
so,
when
you're
talking
millions
of
dollars
now
fire
trucks
are
about
a
million
dollars.
Now.
B
B
Our
first
responsibility
is
to
allocate
these
funds
and
our
regular
budget
to
get
to
do
the
things
that
residents
want
to
see
the
things
that
we're
elected
to
do
we're
elected
to
do
things
like
paved
roads,
make
sure
sidewalks
are
okay,
safe
and
passable
in
Ada
accessible
to
make
sure
that
trees
are
being
trimmed,
and
you
know
Bridges
aren't
falling
down.
But
you
know
the
things
that
we're.
E
B
Responsible
to
do,
you
know,
fix
playgrounds.
Those
are
things
we're
responsible
to
do,
but
we're
doing
so
much
of
things
and
it's
partly
because
our
there's
such
need
and
and
our
city
is
not
receiving
all
the
dollars
that
we
could
from
other
places
in
terms
of
helping
with
food
and
housing
and
medical
debt
and
all
those
sorts
of
things
so
I
mean
we're
almost
forced
to
use
some
dollars
that
we
would
be
using
for
other
things.
B
You
know
to
address
those
issues
that
we're
supposed
to
address,
but
at
the
same
time
I
think
we
have
to
be
careful
because
we
see
the
budget
we've
all
seen
what's
coming
down
the
road.
We
all
know
that
we're
going
to
be
challenged
next
year
with
this
budget.
So
we
have
a
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
using
these
dollars
in
the
in
the
right
way-
and
you
know
for
me-
I
just
don't-
feel
comfortable
giving
money
to
a
company
that
I
don't
know.
B
I
do
think
the
land
bank
giving
the
money
to
the
land
bank
I've
been
having
conversations
with
Reverend
Burgess
about
doing
the
housing
Co-op
that
we've
talked
about
and
I
said,
let's
use
some
of
the
money
from
the
land
bank
to
buy
some
of
the
properties
that
we
need
to
get
done
down
and
cleaned
up
to
put
in
a
new
salt.
You
know
good
housing
in
in
in
this
area,
I'm
talking
about
and
so
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
it's,
not
that
I
don't
want
to
see.
You
know
all
these
things
happen.
B
K
K
So,
in
terms
of
the
medical
debt
part,
it's
been,
it's
been
very
encouraging
to
to
see
the
the
numbers
of
people
that
would
be
impacted
and
those
numbers
come
out
to
over
twenty
thousand
residents
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
That
could
benefit
from
this
and
it's
right
in
line
with
the
arpa
guidelines
in
terms
of
recovery
and
relief.
So
this
money
that
the
federal
government
has
you
know
placed
in
municipalities.
K
This
is
has
been
shown
to
be
a
good
use
and
has
been
recognized
nationally,
and
so
it
would
be
great
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
to
follow
other
cities
that
have
partnered
with
this
with
this
company
with
this
non-profit
company
and
continue
the
the
work
that
they've
been
doing,
you
know
to
increase
it
to
over
the
already
seven
billion
dollars
of
medical
debt
that
they've
relieved
to
American
citizens.
K
K
That
has
less
of
a
less
of
a
you
know,
less
numbers
and
actual
actual
calculations
that
show
the
direct
impact,
so
I
think
it's
I.
Think
it's
a
great
conversation
to
have
there's
a
resolution
on
the
table.
Today.
That's
been
introduced
and
I'm
eager
to
to
bring
the
the
company
the
council
and
and
talk
about
you
know
their
their
method.
Most
most
of
it's
laid
out
in
the
bill.
K
I
think
the
important
step
is
here
to
take
these
actions
so
that
we
can
enter
into
official
conversations
with
them
and
know
that
we're
serious
about
relieving
people
with
their
medical
debt,
especially
you
know
the
qualifier,
is
for
people
who,
who
you
know
accrued
this
debt.
These
are
people
that,
in
that
collection,
not
just
they
went
to
the
doctor
and
now
they're
just
going
to
decide
not
to
pay
it.
These
are
people
who,
during
the
time
of
the
pandemic,
whenever
Americans
says
we're
hit
the
hardest
that
you
know
these
people
suffered.
K
So
they
didn't
plan
to
get
sick.
They
didn't
plan
to
get
hurt,
and
this
is
a
moment
for
the
city
to
to
work
to
partner
with
a
company
that
works
in
this
space
and
they've
worked
in
the
space
before
there's
private
donors
that
have
contributed
to
to
this
company
to
go
into
the
these
debt
claim
markets
and
buy
the
debt
for
pennies
in
the
dollar
to
to
relieve
people
the
medical
debt.
K
So
this
million
dollars
that
we
would
allocate
would
equal
to
roughly
120
million
dollars
of
the
over
20
000
citizens
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
so
I
understand
the
concerns
in
terms
of
how
you
know
this
looks
in
terms
of
you
know:
is
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
going
to
continue
it
like
the
word
Social
Services
has
been
mentioned,
but
I
I
do
feel
that
this
is
an
appropriate
use
of
Arbor
funds,
and
you
know
places
like
Cook
County
that
have
really
people
of
over
a
billion
dollars
in
medical
debt
was
a
very
important
step
and
has
been
nationally
recognized.
K
So
I
think
it's
a
it's
going
to
be
a
it's
going
to
be
interesting.
To
see
how
we
can,
you
know
potentially
be
a
part
of.
What's
happened
nationally
in
terms
of
recognizing
that
medical
debt
is,
is
a
big
contributor
to
you
know
whether
someone
has
to
choose
for
bankruptcy
or
whether
they're
going
to
pay
for
rent?
We
did
a
lot
of
rent
relief
during
during
this
time,
and
you
know
I,
don't
see
this
as
any
any
different
in
a
lot
of
respects.
K
So,
looking
forward
to
the
continued
conversation
and
I
push,
everyone
I
appreciate
everyone
who
is
supportive
in
this
I
appreciate
our
initial
conversations
with
councilman,
Lavelle
and
and
your
efforts
to
to
you
know,
look
at
the
bill
and
look
at
the
funding.
I
appreciate
council
person
straussberger
for
coming
to
the
press
conference
this
morning
and
expressing
expressing
her
support.
Sorry
I've
been
trying
to
drink
as
much
water
as
I
can
today
and
all
the
other
sponsors
of
the
bill.
So
look
forward
to
to
this
vote
and
doing
something
for
pittsburghers.
C
I
first
want
to
begin
with
councilman
Krauss.
You
know,
I
I,
reflect
your
thoughts
for
the
lighting
and
the
real
issue
here
for
me
is
not
the
money
that
we're
taking
from
the
lighting.
Now
it's
the
eight.
Was
it
eight
million
painter
that
that's
been
the.
B
C
You
I
can
continue
questioning
if
you
want
to
do
that.
Okay,
so
so
yeah
I'd
like
to
know
where
that
eight
million
dollars
went
to
and
I
feel
like
it's
been
depleted
before
it
really
got
to
us.
Okay
I
know:
there's
four
million
dollars
left
in
there
and
councilman.
I
Wilson
I
believe
demolition
of
structures,
Paving
and
slope
failure.
Remediation
are
a
number
of
the
things
which
are
always
items
that
are
desperate
need
of
funding
each
year.
C
And
councilman
Wilson
I
appreciate
you
finding
a
separate
set
of
funds
to
me.
I
didn't
want
to
take
from
the
food
Justice
fund
for
that
and
originally
I
know
we
were
going
to
take
from
the
land
bank
to
give
to
the
food
Justice
fund.
However,
we've
come
up
with
this
alternate
agreement
to
go
with
just
depleting
the
fund
from
the
from
the
LED
street
lights,
which
again
I
feel
like.
We
didn't
really
deplete
that
I
feel
that
was
depleted
before
we
got
to
this
table
today.
C
Yes,
there
was
four
million
dollars
in
it,
but
somebody
blew
that
plan
up.
Wasn't
anybody
at
this
table
I,
don't
believe
so.
Back
to
you
know
the
the
million
dollars
take
from
a
kid
who
grew
up
with
two
older
brothers.
We
had
no
health
insurance
I
admire.
What
you're
trying
to
do
I
can
support
that
today
contingent
on
that
we're
holding
this
bill
in
order
to
find
out.
What's
this
company
do
who's
it
going
to
Target?
Is
it
going
to
Target
just
debt?
Is
it
going
to
Target
emergency
visits?
C
You
know,
as
it's
just
going
to
be
throughout
the
coveted
period,
so
you
have
agreed
to
that.
Okay,
so
so
so
with
that
said,
Patrick
did
you
get
anything
from
me
on
that.
M
Yes,
I
did
so
let
me
load
this
up.
We
actually
that
proposal
to
make
those
changes
will
actually
be
at
the
table
tomorrow
at
regular
standing
committee.
C
Okay
has
introduced,
but
what
it's
for
is.
Okay,
that's
that's
fine,
we'll
figure
that
out
tomorrow,
I
guess
so
so
as
far
as
the
bill
tomorrow,
we're
going
to
hold
that
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
anybody
here
at
the
stable
most
of
you
I
think
can
answer
this.
If
we
decide
not
to
go
into
contract
with
what
was
the
name
of
the
company
I.
Okay,
if
we
decide.
I
C
C
It
won't
be
discussed
until
next
week,
okay,
okay,
so
so
I'm
saying
we
can
vet
that
company.
If
we
hold
it
safe
for
six
weeks,
we
can
vet
that
company.
If
we
decide
not
to
go
into
contract
with
them,
there's
no
obligation
there
from
us
correct
correct.
We
could
amend
it
again.
Yes,
correct,
okay,
well,
I
see
no
harm
in
it
like
what
you're
doing
we'll
figure
it
out
as
the
X's
and
O's,
but
that's
it
for.
K
Yeah
so
the
way
the
the
way
this
works
is
that
the
company
would
actually
go
out
and
find
that
and
they
would
come
back
to
the
to
the
table,
to
the
you
know,
to
the
administration-
and
you
know
I'm
sure,
we'll
be
a
part
of
some
of
these
conversations
that
you
know
once
they
work
on
the
contract
that
they
would.
This
company
will
actually
go
out,
find
the
debt
come
back
and
then
that's
how
pain
would
work.
It
wouldn't
just
be
like
this
million
dollars
that
goes
to
the
company.
K
K
Well,
my
mother's
still
in
there
some
hospitals
do
their
own
debt
collection.
So
that's
a
possibility,
but
also
these
are
these
is
this,
is
you
know,
debt?
That's
already
in
collection,
Services,
yeah,.
C
So
I
guess
once
we
get
this
company
to
the
table
we'll
find
out
now
does
any
of
this
money
will
go
towards
paying
a
current
hospital
bill,
not.
K
Current
debt
collection
that
could
turn
into
you
know
someone
had
to
choose
between
bankruptcy,
bad
credit
or
you
know
some
other,
some
other
costs
they
have.
C
L
H
D
F
Just
you
know
obviously
I'm
new.
Just
over
the
past
couple
of
days,
I've
heard
a
lot
of
talk
about
land
bank.
This
new
medical
debt
issue,
food
Justice.
This
sounds
like
a
compromise
where
everybody's
kind
of
getting
what
they
want,
at
least
from
my
perspective.
So
that's
nice
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
all
of
these
things
and
I'm
going
to
include
the
land
bank
in
this.
F
Just
given
the
history
of
the
land
bank
and
sort
of
you
know,
was
it
like
not
that
much
has
happened
that
these
all
kind
of
feel
like
new
new
things
right.
These
are
all
new
Endeavors
that
were
sort
of
wading
into
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
solve
these.
These
large
issues.
So
you
know-
and
we
get
into
the
details
over
time.
F
B
F
F
The
food
food
Justice
I
also
see
that,
as
I've
said
before,
I'm
just
saying
it
sort
of
for
the
public
is
at
least
I
I
see
the
potential
there
for
sort
of
an
Avenues
of
Hope
type
service,
where
we
are
actually
supporting
businesses
or
or
infrastructure
that
is
related
around
food,
specifically,
as
opposed
to
as
opposed
to
just
the
food
bank,
which
is
a
you
know,
a
certain
you
know
just
giving
food
to
people
who
need
it.
F
So
I
see
a
difference
there
between
the
social
services
that
the
county
provides
and
what
this
food
Justice
fund
could
actually
be
that
that's
just
for
and
in
terms
of
the
medical
it
does
seem
like
a
it
does
seem
like
an
appropriate
use
of
arpa
funds.
I
mean
I,
see
sort
of
a
straight
line
there.
F
One
thing
that
I
and-
and
this
isn't
a
criticism
of
the
of
the
resolution
but
I
I-
do
want
to
point
out
that
you
know
living
we're
in
this
city
with
these
massive
non-profits
that
are
medical
providers,
and
here
we're
talking
about
using
a
million
dollars
of
of
funding
to
pay
for
the
debt
that
they
are.
You
know
putting
on
the
shoulders
of
our
residents,
many
of
whom
actually
work
for
those
companies,
so
certainly
in.
F
If
you
know,
if
this
does
go
forward,
I
I
would
definitely
want
to
see
the
numbers
on
that
right
like
how
much
how
much
medical
debt
are
we
paying
to
relieve
for
people
who
are
getting
services
from
say
UPMC,
for
example
anyway,
on
just
on
a
last
note,
just
with
regards
to
the
lights
councilman
cross,
I
I
hear
you
on
that
right
people
want
light.
So
can
we
just
have
a
little
clarification
on
what
this
original
light
project?
F
M
So,
like
councilmember
gross
alluded
to
earlier,
the
project
has
kind
of
shifted
over
the
years,
and
I
would
need
to
to
loop
back
in
with
with
the
capital
team
and
with
Domi.
But
my
current
understanding
is
that
it
really
is
just
swapping
out
the
lights
to
make
them
more
energy
efficient.
At
this
point,
there
were
other
past
components
and
I
believe
most
of
that
now
has
kind
of
shifted.
F
M
Believe
there
is
a
component
that
is
related
to
new
lights,
but
I
can
double
check.
L
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
so
I
I'm
tracking,
with
a
lot
of
what
others
have
said
already,
but
just
to
back
up
and
maybe
broaden
the
conversation
a
little
bit.
I
really
want
to
thank
councilman
Krause
for
a
conversation
we
had
just
before
this
portion
of
the
hearing,
because
he
got
me
thinking
about
really
what
is
the
function
of
of
city
government
right
as
as
Council
person
Warwick
was
just
was
just
mentioning
too
in
normal
in
normal
times.
L
Whenever
that
might
have
been,
it
might
have
been
that
city
council
was
and
our
purview
was
limited
to
the
infrastructure,
the
functioning
of
the
city,
you
know:
building
the
infrastructure
for
new
development,
getting
the
streets
paved
and
during
times
when
we're
you
know,
we've
experienced
a
global
pandemic
and
received
Federal
support.
L
I
do
think
that
gives
us
almost
special
permission
to
think
a
little
bit
more
broadly
and
think
a
little
bit
more
like
a
social
service
provider
to
help
those
who
have
been
harmed
by
This
Global
pandemic
and
the
broad
ranging
Ripple
effects
of
that,
and
so
the
challenge
is
that
those
funds
won't
last
forever.
Arpa
funds
won't
this
this.
It's
this
era
of
having
Federal
funding
through
arpa
won't
last
forever.
As
we
know,
and
so
the
question
is
then
what
happens
after
we've?
L
L
That
I
support
the
land
bank
I
support
the
food
Justice
fund,
I'm
eager
to
see
what
happens
with
that
and
the
funding
that
supports
some
of
those
one-time
infusions
of
cash
won't
last
forever.
So
we
do
have
to
have
that
conversation
of
what
are
the
what's.
L
The
expectation
of
the
public
in
the
long
term
and
as
council
president
keeps
reminding
us
what's
our
relationship
with
the
County
government
and
County
leadership,
and
how
can
we
align
ourselves
more
closely
with
their
priorities
so
that
we're
not
working
in
separate
tracks
from
one
another,
but
working
in
tandem
to
help
as
many
people
as
possible
and
not
in
a
Band-Aid
short-term
way,
but
actually
set
up
the
infrastructure
for
long-term
self-sufficiency
in
whatever
that
area
area?
That
might
be,
whether
is
the
food
Justice
fund.
L
You
know,
as
I've
mentioned
before,
finding
new
sources
of
funding,
whether
it
is
the
land
bank
being
able
to
you,
know
dispossessive,
land
and
and
get
more
properties
on
the
tax
rolls
and
fix
up
properties.
I
will
say
it
is
I'm.
Gonna
I'm
gonna
support
this
today.
It's
very
painful
for
me
to
vote
against
the
street
lights
or
in
for
for
defunding
the
street
lights
the
original
project.
L
My
understanding
would
have
included
a
study
that
would
have
almost
like
an
audit
to
determine
which
areas
of
the
city
were
in
need
of
additional
street
lights,
and
you
know,
based
on
public
feedback,
created
safer
streets
because
of
additional
street
lights
and
swapped
out.
You
know
almost
all
of
our,
if
not
all,
of
our
street
lights
to
High
Energy
Efficiency,
which
would
have
saved
us
money
in
the
long
term
and
as
part
of
our
climate
action
plan.
You
know
major
carbon
reductions
over
the
lifetime
of
the
project.
L
So
for
me
personally,
it's
very
difficult
to
vote
against
it.
That
said,
I'm
fully
committed
to
working
with
the
administration
and
our
office
of
sustainability
and
resilience
to
make
sure
that
that
project
can
get
back
on
track
and
we
can
one.
You
know
for
Public
Safety
safety's
sake
have
additional
street
lights,
where
it's
needed.
L
Listening
to
the
public
and
two
upgrade
our
street
lights
to
something
that
maybe
not
LED,
because
I'm
with
councilwoman
gross
I
understand
some
of
the
the
feedback
and
the
challenges
and
the
you
know
even
the
Aesthetics
of
it
or
quality
of
life
aspects,
but
some
more
energy,
efficient
street
lights
is
almost
the
easiest
way
to
make
major
carbon
reductions
and
cost
savings
for
the
city
and
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
happens.
Thank
you.
D
A
D
Round
you'll
be
very,
very
important.
Burgers
I'll
support
the
amendment,
but
I
also
support
street
lights.
D
The
project,
as
originally
in
the
arpa
funding,
doesn't
exist.
That
project
does
not
exist.
It
was
actually
a
very.
It
was
a
specific
plan
with
specific
outcomes
before
formed
in
a
very
specific
way
that
doesn't
exist,
that's
already
been
eliminated,
and
so
there
is
more
than
enough
money
for
us
to
fund
a
new
lighting
plan.
Whatever
it
comes
to
council
right,
there
is
no
real
lighting
plan
that
I've
seen
yet
I
it
will.
They
are
working
on
it.
You
know
they're
doing
their
they're
doing
it
and
they'll
need
money
for
us.
D
We
will
be
able,
on
the
back
end,
to
backfill
any
dollars
that
are
needed.
The
arpa
funds
are
simply
a
one-time
infusion,
but
we're
always
going
to
have
a
capital
budget
and
there's
always
going
to
be
money
in
the
capital
budget
to
pastries
repair,
roads
fix
lights,
whatever
that
is,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
receiving
the
new
the
new
plan
and
the
budget
implications
and
the
work
with
Administration
to
create
funding
for
it,
but
they
are
program,
is
already
as
I
think
councilman,
Culkin
I
agree
with
him
they've
already.
D
That
program
is
done
that
doesn't
exist.
The
the
the
the
one
we
voted
for
originally
for
the
arpa
funding
was
was
very
ambitious
and
had
all
these
components,
that's
already
been
sort
of,
they
didn't
go
into
contract
with
it
that
there
was
no
comp.
You
know,
there's
no
FP,
for
it.
That's
really
already
done,
and
so
we
can
do.
We
can
do
both
things.
We
can
do
this
now
and
support
councilman
Wilson,
and
then
we
can
later
down
the
road
when
there
is
a
tangible
lighting
plan,
that's
going
to
help.
D
You
know
Mr,
cross's,
neighborhoods
and,
and
others
other
you
know
other
neighborhoods,
including
mine.
We
can
we
can
vote
for
and
support
that
too
so
I
I
vote
in
the
firmative
today,
not
in
any
way
being
against
lighting,
because
I
intend,
on
the
next
stage
to
also
vote
for
a
lighting
plan
that
comes
before
us.
B
Let
me
say
first
of
all,
there's
not
a
plan
for
the
food
Justice
fund,
but
we're
fin
we're
okay
with
that,
but
but
I
do
think
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
Not
only
am
I
supportive
of
the
of
doing
things
with
the
food
Justice
fund.
I
actually
am
a
part
of
that
group.
I
actually
did
food
distributions
in
my
own
District
I
actually
wrote
the
legislation
to
create
the
farms
and
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
I
actually
help
our
food
pantries
around
my
district.
So
I
do
my
I.
B
Do
a
lot
in
that
area,
so
I
care
tremendously
about
it,
but
they
also
know
we
need
a
plan.
They
also
know
what
our
rules
are.
What
our
limitations
are
here.
I
also
know
it's
great
to
play
campaigning
with
public
dollars,
and
that's
that's
essentially
what
we're
doing
when
we're
doing
stuff
like
this,
that
are
not
our
responsibility,
but
yet,
at
the
same
time
I
know
we
want
to
address
housing
issues.
I
think
the
land
bank
would
be
a
great
place
to
use.
B
I
was
just
talking
to
Reverend
about
the
co-op
housing
and
councilman
gross
you
and
I
care
a
lot
about
that.
We
worked
on
that,
so
I
think
it'd
be
great
to
work
towards
some
of
that
stuff.
But
I
think
today,
when
we're
talking
about
this
first
of
all
the
mayor's
office
is,
is
also
working
simultaneously
on
creating
a
fund
that
can
be
used
for
social
programs,
because
that
is
not
our
purview.
That
is
not
our
function,
but
we
do
understand
that
there's
such
a.
E
B
That
is
not
being
met,
and
so
I
told
them
that
I
was
going
to
start
trying
to
make
phone
calls
to
get
a
funds
established,
or
they
were
already
doing
it.
So
I
want
to
congratulate
the
administration
on
already
working
on
those
things
and
they're.
Also
working
on
you
know
with
the
non-profit
world,
so
I
I,
don't
that's
all
their
announcement,
but
for
our
sake
you
know,
I.
B
So
I'd
like
to
know
what
the
real
program
is
and
I
really
think
it's
different
when
you've
actually
suffered
and
struggled
I've
done
that
I've
struggled
in
my
life
I've
had
kids
I
was
a
single
mom
of
kids.
I
know
what
it's
like
to
really
struggle:
I,
don't
pretend
I'm
doing
it.
I
actually
did
it.
I
actually
lived
through
it
and
I
actually
don't
appreciate
being
exploited
for
people's
politics
for
it.
B
So
I'm
going
to
say
for
me
on
my
end,
I
think
it
would
be
worth
holding
the
bill
just
a
day
to
at
least
find
out
what
this
company
is
and
see
if
we
can
find
some
more
information.
But
if
members
want
to
vote,
that's
that's.
That's
your
decision,
but
I
think
that
we
should
hold
the
bill
for
at
least
one
day.
We
can
do
that
and
find
additional
information
out
and
I
mean
seriously.
We
have
a
responsibility
here.
Thank.
J
You
councilman
cross
okay,
so
hopefully
I
can
wrap
up
the
conversation
here.
This
members
choose
to
continue,
but
I
hope
we
can.
A
J
Think
is
very
important
to
make
certain
as
we
have
this
discussion.
Council
does
not
enter
into
contract.
That
is
not
our
role
here.
This
is
not
what
we
do.
We
funded
so
ultimately
and
administration,
regardless
who
of
who's
across
the
hall
may
or
may
not
choose
to
actually
accept
the
funding
and
enter
into
an
agreement
with
whoever
this
may
be
and
regardless
of
what
it
is
that
we
may
be
wanting
to
to
fund.
J
There
are
all
kinds
of
of
roles
and
guidelines
in
place
by
which
we,
you
know
have
to
determine
whether
this
is
the
sole
source
contract.
Whether
there
are
other
people
that
do
what
they
do,
does
it
have
to
go
out
for
bid,
doesn't
have
to
go
out
for
RFP.
Do
people
have
to
you
know
on
and
on
and
on
and
on.
J
Having
said
that,
here's
how
I'd
like
to
wrap
up
my
comments,
clearly
I'm
not
going
to
vote
to
support
this
state
and
I
said
that.
G
J
Respectfully
I
would
like
to
call
BS
just
respectfully
from
the
day.
I
walked
in
the
door.
I'll
start
my
16th
year
here
in
January.
This
Council
has
talked
about
redesigning
the
lighting
in
this
in
the
city
due
not
just
to
the
public
safety
element
of
it,
but
to
our
responsibility
to
save
energy.
We
talked
voluminously
about
the
cost
of
the
lighting
that
we
have
now
and
what
it
takes
out
of
our
budget
to
maintain
it.
We've
talked
about
carbon
reduction
and
our
responsibility
and
our
commitment
to
carbon
reduction
and
what
a
a
contributing
factor.
J
The
new
lighting
would
be
to
our
responsibility
to
reduce
our
carbon
foot,
our
carbon
footprint
and
as
it
relates
to
to
Public
Safety
I.
Remember
when
former
mayor
pudoda
was
then
Council
men
peduto
and
he
was
our
finance
chair
I.
Remember
he
told
us
the
story
about
the
first
of
police
departments
and
what
the
role
of
the
police
department
was.
J
They
were
the
lamplighters
they
went
out
and
they
lit
the
street
lights
as
their
commitment
to
the
public
safety
of
the
public
at
large
and
that's
how
police
departments
were
formed,
and
that
is
the
he
spoke
to
the
connection
of
of
healthy,
productive
public
lighting
as
it
relates
to
policing
and
Public
Safety
overall.
J
So
now
something
new
and
bright
and
shiny
comes
along
and
it
happens
to
be
on
the
headlines
and
all
of
a
sudden,
16
years,
15
years
soon
to
be
16
of
commitment
telling
our
public
our
constituency
that
this
council
is
dedicated
to
redoing
the
lighting
in
this
system
in
this
city,
to
reduce
energy
cost,
to
produce
to
reduce
our
carbon
footprint
and
provide
for
the
safety
of
the
public.
We're
going
to
say,
we
really
didn't
mean
that
we
kind
of
said
we
did.
We
set
it
for
15
years.
J
We
allocated
all
kinds
of
funding
to
it.
Over
the
years
there
I'm
sure
there
are
voluminous
bills
that
we
could
bring
back
to
this
table
to
show
this
council's
commitment
year
in
and
year
out,
as
we
told
the
public,
we
were
committed
to
their
their
health
welfare
safety
well-being,
but
something
new,
shiny,
untried
untested
happening
to
be
in
the
headlines
right
now.
J
A
So
I'm
going
to
exercise
my
privilege,
I
haven't
spoken
yet
just
to
respond
to
that
councilman
I
completely
understand
it.
However,
I
don't
fully
agree
with
it,
because
to
your
earlier
statement,
our
job
is
to
fund
it.
We
put
it
in
the
budget.
We
are
not
the
administration
and
you've
been
here
to
three
of
them.
Now
our
job
is
to
fund
it
and
to
your
point,
the
council
over
the
years
have
funded
efforts
to
redo
lighting.
However,
we
cannot
force
the
administration
to
follow
through
and
actually
do
it.
They
implement
it
right.
A
So
I
don't
think
it's
this
Council
yelling
BS,
because
to
your
own
Point,
we've
actually
put
the
dollars
in
the
administrations.
The
various
ones
throughout
the
years
have
not
fully
implemented,
and
hopefully
we
now
have
a
new
Administration.
Who
is
looking
at
a
new
way
to
go
about
this
and
as
soon
as
they
bring
a
proposal
to
us,
it'll
again
be
our
job
to
fund
it,
and
if
we
don't
fund
it,
then
I
believe
you're.
Absolutely
right.
We
would
be
saying
BS
to
what
we've
publicly
said.
We
want
to
do
with
that.
A
I'll
also
slightly
disagree
on
how
police
forces
were
formed.
My
understanding
of
historically
is:
they
were
first
slave
catchers.
Now
they
may
have
evolved
into
the
lamplighters,
but
they
were
first
slave
catchers
with
that
I
saw
councilman
Wilson
for
second
round.
A
Right
now
we
have
a
motion
so
right
now
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
an
amendment
to
the
arpa
fund
to
move
3
million
back
to
the
land.
The
land
bank
excuse
me
and
then
one
million
to
health
debt
relief.
That's
that's!
Currently
the
motion
on
the
table,
Madam
president
recommended
we
motion
to
hold
for
a
standing
committees
meeting,
but
that's
currently,
what's
on
the
table.
B
A
Abstentions:
three
in
our
position:
six
in
favor
affirmative
recommendation
with
that
we
have
exhausted
our
agenda
for
today.
Normally
this
is
more
so
for
Council,
councilwoman
Warwick.
Normally
this
would
end
council's
public
hearings.
However,
this
year
we
have
one
more
Council
public
hearing
on
Saturday
regarding
city
council,
amendments
to
the
2003
operating
capital
and
Council
budgets
and
I
believe
that
is
at
10,
A.M,
correct,
yes,
10
a.m.
A
So
after
that
hearing
we'll
then
adjourn
our
Council
public
hearings
for
the
2003
cap
budget.
So
instead
of
the
German
I
need
a
motion
to
recess.
