A
B
A
A
You
our
next
order
of
business,
is
public
comment,
I'd
like
to
remind
all
speakers
of
the
rules
of
council
state.
The
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concerned.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are,
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
once
you
are
called,
please
restate
your
name
and
your
neighborhood
for
the
record.
Our
first
registered
speaker
is
Naomi
Mullen.
D
D
Truly
exceptional
and
one
that
should
be
emulated
by
every
firefighter.
He
loves,
sharing
his
knowledge
of
firefighting
and
its
many
aspects
to
make
our
firefighters,
safer,
smarter
and
more
efficient
on
the
fire
grounds.
My
new
loves
those
firefighters
on
the
entire
Pittsburgh
Bureau
acquired
by
their
first
name
and
was
always
approachable
regardless
of
Frank.
If
you
had
questions,
he
would
stop
what
he
was
doing
to
answer.
Oh
yeah,
he
worked
tirelessly
but
also
energetically,
his
entire
career
and
pursuit
of
more
knowledge.
His
legacy
will
serve
our
citizens
and
firefighters
for
years
to
come.
D
Michael
J,
Malin
lived
the
full
life
of
his
obituary
so
accurately
destroyed
both
passionate
tireless
dedicated,
highly
conscientious
and
caring.
Well
done.
Michael
well
done
rest
in
peace.
My
friend,
according
to
the
Pennsylvania
Constitution,
the
purpose
of
government
is
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
people
they
serve.
The
Bonaire
Memorial
Green
Bay
is
the
solution
for
the
teeth,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Bonaire
community.
D
Councilman
crowd
worked
out
a
deal
to
take
McKinley
Park
from
our
Council
District.
Now
it's
time
for
Bonaire
to
get
the
long
closed,
School
into
the
city's
control.
This
all
needs
to
be
torn
down
and
a
green
space
put
into
place.
A
memorial
Green
Space
is
most
fitting.
A
plaque
is
installed
at
the
school
due
to
the
line
of
duty
death
of
firefighter
Mark
calendar.
He
lived
his
entire
life
in
the
neighborhood
and
he
attended
school
at
onyer.
E
Dr
Ronald
and
Miller
Bill
silver
on
the
global
intelligence,
Society
founded
that
in
2010
candidate
for
president
in
2024..
E
This
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
different
than
my
usual
presentations,
because
I'm
going
to
actually
wing
it
a
little
bit.
There's
a
lot
in
the
in
the
news
about
England
and
about
the
you
know:
KC,
3
and
QE2.
E
E
But
when
I
was
at
Oxford,
I
began
to
realize
that
the
people
at
Oxford
were
very
different
than
the
people
who
were
in
Oxford
city
is
something
like
what
I
experienced
when
I
was
teaching
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
that
there's
all
this
stuff
going
on
inside
of
the
University
of
Pittsburgh,
but
there's
a
lot
of
other
stuff.
That's
going
on
with
the
people
who
live
around
it.
E
It
you
know
in
in
Oakland
now,
I
I
want
to
call
attention
to
John,
Nettles
and
Helen
Mirren
here,
because
they're
vastly
more
important,
in
my
view,
in
terms
of
the
middle
class
culture,
because
the
culture
of
British
Society,
English
society
in
particular,
is
dominated
by
the
middle
class.
E
The
the
English
kill
their
their
their
King
in
1649.
Charles.
The
first
was
was
killed,
but
that
didn't
work
out
very
well.
So
Charles
II
under
the
restoration
brought
back
in
1660
and
he
was
succeeded
by
William
and
Mary,
and
in
1688
William
was
obliged
by
the
House
of
Commons,
which
was
Rising
wanting
to
reduce
the
authority
of
of
the
Monarch.
So
he
was
compelled
to
sign
what
the
British
call
the
Declaration
of
Rights
I
think
that
they
don't
have
a
constitution.
E
Many
people
think
that,
but
our
Bill
of
Rights
is
consistent
with
and,
in
my
view,
emerged
as
a
consequence
of
the
Declaration
of
rice
and
they
created
something
a
position
called
the
president
of
Consul.
Now
this
President
of
council
I'm,
talking
about
in
the
late
17th
century
that
was
was
supposed
to
adjudicate
between
the
the
the
council
I
mean
the
the
House
of
Commons
and
and
and
the
Monarch.
E
So
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why,
when
our
founding
fathers
were
were
creating
our
government,
they
they
used
that
that
role.
That
role
has
emerged
as
much
more
important,
but
I
I
really
advise
you.
If
you
don't
already
know
about
Midsummer
murders
and
John
Nettles
he's
much
more
popular
than
than
Charles
and
Helen
Mirren
in
Prime
Suspect.
A
F
My
name
is
Javon
F
Brown
I
live
in
the
Hill
district.
Katie
Rivers
tires
now
come
in
here
to
council
they're,
saying
that
they're
going
to
be
changing
the
rules
and
certain
things
we
can't
say,
and
then
we're
not
going
to
be
prepared
to
be
permitted
to
say,
but
I
want
you
to
understand
why
I
come
down
here
when
I
went
to
school
in
Penn
Hills,
they
taught
us
history.
Your
civil
Duty
was
to
tell
the
elected
officials
what
we
need.
I
went
to
Carlow
College
I
studied
African,
American
history.
F
When
I
studied
African-American
history,
it
was
a
book
that
came
before
the
mayflyer
and
in
this
book,
The
five-year-old
that's
been
when
I
was
in
five.
That
I
think
how
he
said
about
my
granddaughter
my
granddaughter
keep
asking
to
come
down
here,
but
I
don't
want
her
self-esteem
to
be
torn
down
by
this
man.
That's
supposed
to
build
them
up
in
this
book.
They
had
a
little
five-year-old
girl
sitting
on
the
steps.
These
are
slaves,
she's,
holding
her
head
and
another
slave
comes
past
the
older
one
and
say
child.
What's
wrong
with
you.
F
She
said
Mrs
like
beat
me
to
death.
She
had
lost
the
cap
for
the
baby.
That
baby
died
too,
that
little
five-year-old
girl
died.
Two
days
later,
nothing
happens
to
the
master
or
misses
they
also
said
in
the
city.
At
one
time
we
black
people
would
have
to
jump
off
the
sidewalks.
If
you
walk
past
white
people,
this
was
written.
This
was
the
law.
We
would
have
to
jump
in
the
mud,
the
water
in
this
book
before
the
Mayflower.
They
show
a
black
man,
walking
I
mean
they
talk
about
the
black
man.
F
Walking
here
comes
this
man
that
owns
the
bank,
big
executive
and
he
says
in
don't
you
see
me
and
my
doctor
daughter,
walking
down
here,
get
off
the
sidewalk
while
he
was
a
smart
mouth
one
like
me,
he
said
you
ain't
no
better
than
me:
I'm,
not
getting
off
the
sidewalk,
and
he
didn't
that
Banker
went
home
and
got
a
gun
and
came
back
and
killed
that
black
man.
Nothing
happened
to
him,
so
you
have
to
understand
colorism.
F
You
said
we
can't
talk
about
it,
but
if
you
like
in
practice,
you
get
treated
better
than
with
a
dark
infected
and
the
truth
is
my
son,
my
black
son,
dark
complexes,
son
begging
for
his
life.
Five
cops
walked
out,
he's
saying
he
had
one
run
bleeding
from
the
head:
it's
in
the
paper,
it's
in
the
in
the
autopsy.
All
this
is
written.
I
come
down
here,
because
I
can't
do
nothing
about
my
son.
F
My
son
is
gone
but
I'm
trying
to
stop
it
from
anybody
else
dying
because
it's
not
just
okay
I
want
to
say
this
too.
It's
not
just
white
cops
I'm
talking
about
when
I
went
to
Jamaica,
they
killed
the
man
he
had.
These
were
black
cops
killed
the
black
man.
He
had
a
skiff.
A
skiff
is
a
joint
one,
joint
and
they're
allowed
in
to
make
it
ahead.
Four
plants
and
they're
allowed
to
have
so
much
weed.
A
Thank
you
any
further
speakers
wishing
to
speak.
Please
come
forward
any
further
speakers,
seeing
none
that
will
move
us
on
to
our
standing
committee
agenda.
Our
first
community
of
the
day
is
financing
law
share
by
myself,
Madam
Kirk.
If
you
can
read
bill
711
and
712
together
both
were
held
for
executive
sessions,
Bill.
C
711
resolution
amending
resolution
number
862
of
2001
Which
authorized
the
mayor
and
the
city
solicitor
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
to
enter
into
a
Professional
Services
agreement
with
Cullen
Law
Group
to
address
a
matter
of
pending
telecommunications
litigation
by
increasing
the
total
spend
by
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
for
a
new
not
to
exceed

of

thousand
fifty
dollars.
Bill
number
seven.
A
B
B
G
H
B
A
J
C
B
A
B
I
L
Or
the
purpose
of
okay
I
got
you
on
the
sign
there
we're
going
to
utilize
what
police
have
been
using
roll
call
to
cover
our
extra
work
activities
similar
to
the
police.
What
we
use
presently
is
a
in-house
program
that
was
built
by
an
employee
that
passed
away
about
two
years
ago,
so
we're
concerned
about
the
deterioration
of
this
program,
which
worked
very
well
and
it's
in
its
days,
but
we
have
no
one
to
maintain
it
any
longer.
I
L
Correct
it'll
be
a
scheduling
tool
for
our
extra
work
and
possibly
for
a
different
other
entries
that
we
use
that
we
need
and.
I
You
can
I
believe
you
can
answer
this.
This
is
a
budgeted
experience
in
the
2021
budget,
correct.
L
The
the
venue,
what
we
will
charge
roll
call
will
charge
the
venue
that
hires
us
a
percentage
to
take
for
the
fee
to
cover
their
expenses.
L
A
I
L
M
Right
good
morning,
Patrick
Cornell
deputy
director
officer
management
budget.
M
So
one
going
back
to
your
prior
question:
roll
call
actually
acquired
cover
your
assets,
so
it
is
one
and
the
same
and
then
with
the
secondary.
Let's
just
stop
there
I'm
sorry,
because.
I
M
Bureau
of
police
uses
this
company
as
a
scheduling
for
their
secondary
details.
The
funding
for
this
comes
from
the
secondary
employment
trust
fund
in
police.
There
is
a
fee
associated
with
each
detail
as
it
comes
up
so
adding
on
the
Bureau
of
Emergency
Medical
Services
would
then
allow
a
similar
fee
to
be
added
on
for
the
EMS
details
to
help
cover
the
additional
costs
actually,
in
this
case,
no
additional
cost,
but
to
continue
the
services.
I
H
G
A
C
Bill
743
resolution
authorizing
and
interdepartmental
transfer
in
the
amount
of
two
million
dollars
from
the
Bureau
of
facilities
within
the
Department
of
Public
Works
to
the
Office
of
Management
and
budget.
This
transfer
is
necessary
to
cover
increased
fuel
costs
and
unanticipated
Fleet
Maintenance
expenses.
G
Motion
to
approve
brief
discussion,
please
so:
okay,
well
I
met
with
Patrick
this
morning.
He's
here
with
us.
I'll
just
give
you
a
quick
rundown
if
it
seems
like
a
high
sticker
price
for
you,
we're
all
aware
of
the
prices
of
gasoline
have
gone
up
in
2021,
we
used
3.2
million
dollars
worth
of
gasoline
in
2022.
We're
projected
to
use
5
million
dollars
simply
the
cost
of
the
rising
oil
and
gas.
G
In
that
two
million
dollars
that
we're
looking
to
transfer
today
is
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
to
be
put
towards
vehicle
maintenance,
which
is
very
necessary
and
and
Patrick,
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
that
anybody
might
have
so.
I
I
Yep
thanks
very
much
hey
Patrick
good
morning
again,
good.
I
I
Can
you
tell
me
please
approximately,
and
if
you
can't
that's
fine,
we
can
take
it
offline,
but
the
the
two
million
approximately.
How
is
it
split
between
vehicle
maintenance.
M
And
our
added
cost
in
fuel
sure
we
are
proposing
to
move
1.4
million
dollars
into
the
fuel
line
and
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
into
the
the
the
line
that
would
cover
the
fvs
contract
for
the
the
vehicle
maintenance
and
Brandon
Walton
is
available
for
more
specific
questions
as
the
pleasure
of
the
body.
Okay,.
I
The
DFS
contract
is
that
for
you,
Patrick
I'm,
sorry.
What
was
that
the
question
about
the
DMS
contract
is
that
for
you,
I.
M
Mean
either
of
us
could
handle
it.
The
fvs
contract
right
now
moves
until
the
end
of
next
year.
We
will
be
doing
a
full
RFP
for
for
Fleet
Maintenance
Services.
M
This
particular
component
is
for
the
the
non-target
as
it's
called
maintenance,
which
is
your
anything
that
is
not
your
typical
routine
maintenance
and
we've
seen
those
costs
hover
around
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
month.
That
funding
will
be
needed
by
the
end
of
the
year,
not
exactly
at
this
moment.
M
I
So
we're
going
to
put
about
a
million
two
in
the
into
the
oil
companies
Pockets.
That's
just
it's
part
of
a
criminal
to
see
the
kinds
of
record
profits
that
the
gasable
companies
are
making
and
we
you
know
we
struggled
to
provide
basic
services
to
constituencies,
and-
and
here
we
are
to
provide
those
Services,
of
course,
with
what
a
million
two
into
the
Departments
of
all
companies.
I
I'm
I'm,
really
really
I'm,
really
troubled
by
that
there's
nothing
we
can
do
I
mean
we
we
do
what
we
we
have
to
do,
but
I
I
have
to
say
everybody
troubled
by
that
expected
truth.
That's
not
required,
but
I
appreciate
your
work.
Appreciate
get
your
effort
thanks
for
being
here
and
thanks
for
explaining
that
to
me.
H
K
You
Mr
chair,
not
a
question,
a
comment
along
the
lines
of
what
councilman
Krauss
recently
finished,
with
I
have
noted
that
one
two
million
dollars
could
go
a
long
way
toward
signal
upgrades
traffic,
calming
things
to
make
walking
and
biking
and
other
modes
of
transportation
safer
in
our
city.
It's
a
shame
that
we
have
to
spend
this
money
on
this,
but
I
understand
the
necessity.
This
is
not
a
comment
on
on
the
decision.
K
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this,
but
just
another
statement
that
PRT
Pittsburg
Regional
Transit
recently
made
a
commitment
to
upgrade
all
of
their
buses
to
their
entire
fleet
to
Electric
by
2045..
I
would
like
to
see
the
city.
Do
the
exact
make
this
exact
same
commitment
to
figure
out
the
date
by
which
we
can
convert
our
entire
fleet?
K
Our
entire
flight
I
know
that
Recycling
and
and
and
and
refuse
trucks
are
a
little
bit
more
difficult
to
convert,
but
we
have
the
technology,
it's
possible
I'm
certain.
We
can
do
it
with
our
other
vehicles
as
well,
and
let's
set
the
target.
K
Let's
make
it
happen,
let's
go
for
it
because
we
know
that
gasoline
and
other
types
of
fuel
are
only
going
to
become
more
volatile
in
prices
into
the
future,
so
I
will
be
calling
for
a
post
agenda
at
some
point,
this
fall
or
into
the
winter,
to
get
an
update
on
what
we're
doing
in
our
sustainability
and
climate
action
plans,
but
for
now
I'd
like
to
ask
for
partnership
and
that
kind
of
commitment
from
the
city.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
Mr
Sharon,
thank
you,
Mr
Cornell,
so
this
this
money,
that's
coming
from
the
bureau
facilities.
What
what
was
that
originally
there
for
sure.
M
So
those
amounts
are
budgeted
for
utility
costs.
In
particular,
we
will
be
pulling
from
Steam
and
water.
I've
had
conversations
with
director
hornstein
and
his
financial
staff
they're
aware
they're
supportive.
We
don't
expect
that
this
would
hinder
our
ability
to
pay
our
utility
bills
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
N
M
Some
of
that
depends
on
on
you
know:
usage
rates
with
water.
In
particular,
we
are
increasing
based
on
the
The
Cooperative
agreement
with
pwsa,
so
we're
phasing
in
our
our
water
expenses.
So,
right
now,
there's
there's
a
little
bit
of
wiggle
room.
Okay,.
M
G
No
I
just
wanted
to
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
this
money's
unallocated
there's
nothing
we're
not
taken
from
the
vehicles
from
public
works
or
the
purchase
of
new
vehicles
or
possibly
leasing
vehicles
and
I
did
want
to
comment
on
councilwoman
strasberger
I
do
welcome
that
post
agenda
I
think
we
were
talking
briefly
this
morning
as
to
you
know
how
much
does
an
electric
vehicle
cost
to
run
whether
maintenance
factoring
factoring
in
also
the
cost
of
that
vehicle?
Obviously
we
all
would
love
to
see.
M
Don't
know
if
I
could
I'd
Brandon.
If
you
want
to
comment
I
know
some
vehicles
are
it's
going
to
be
easier,
it'll
be
able
to
happen
more
quickly,
but
you
know,
like
the
council
person,
said
some
of
the
larger
Vehicles.
It's
going
to
be
tough.
So
if,
if
Brandon
can
comment
on,
if
you're,
if
you're,
okay
with
that,
oh.
O
Good
morning
Council
Brandon
weldman
police
services
manager,
OMB.
We
are
actively
working
to
Electrify,
where
we
can
as
quickly
as
we
can,
but
some
of
the
difficulties
do
lie
on
technology
and
charging
infrastructure.
Targeting
infrastructure
is
very
expensive
and
The
Battery
Technology
isn't
quite
it
might
vary
yet
in
terms
of
fast
charging.
They
have
fast
Chargers
that
had
a
high
capability
with
batteries
that
aren't
able
to
handle
that
high
in
charge.
So
that's
where
we
at
where
we're
at,
but
we
are
actively
pursuing
electric
vehicles.
G
As
we
see
fit
good
and
Brandon,
you
know
we
could
you
know
fish
that
all
out
at
the
post
agenda
once
we
once
we
have
that,
but
just
to
simplify
things,
what
does
it
cost
to
run
an
electric
vehicle
today
in
our
Fleet
versus
a
diesel
or
a
gas?
Is
it
cost
effective
today,
as
we
know
it,
or
is
it
neutral
where
where's
that
line
at.
O
And
doesn't
need
to
charge
until
the
evening.
It's
actually
a
lot
cheaper
than
a
regular
sedan.
The
prices
are
coming
down
to
close
to
the
same
cost,
there's
very
little
maintenance
required
and
we
paid
a
really
low
rate
for
electricity.
So
it's
pretty
beneficial
there.
The
larger
trunks
were
finding
that
they're
two
to
three
times
more
expensive
than
regular
trucks,
and
the
infrastructure
required
form
was
much
more
expensive
as
well,
so
a
little
harder.
There
are
more
expensive
talk
about.
O
Electrified
can
be
anywhere
from
two
to
three
times
the
price
of
say.
A
diesel
counterpart
prices
are
starting
to
come
down,
but,
for
example,
you
know
a
heavy
duty
truck.
That's
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
the
diesel
may
be
around
400
to
425
000
as
a
vector.
G
So
so
two
different
things
operating
an
upfront
costs
I'm
really
talking
about
the
operating
cost
as
to
the
maintenance
of
that
and
if
electric
vehicle
goes
down
and
also
factoring
in
The
Upfront
cost.
So
The
Upfront
cost
is
two
to
three
times
more,
but
to
actually
keep
these
vehicles
on
the
road
and
maintenance
or
they
cost
efficient.
Are
they
an
electric
vehicle,
cost
us
more
to
say
repair
once
they
break
down
versus
a
gas.
O
I
believe
we'll
see
a
lot
of
things,
that's
due
to
there's
less
moving
Parts
less
fluids,
so
we're
not
seeing
Mary.
My
name
is
not
very
very.
B
O
Heavy
duty
electric
vehicles,
yeah
okay,
I'd,
say
around
this
time
next
year,
we'll
have
kind
of
an
idea
of
some
of
the
things
that
heavy
duty
of
electric
vehicles,
but
as
of
right
now,
with
my
due
to
sedans,
we
are
seeing
quite
a
bit
Savings
in
terms
of
operating
costs.
G
P
P
So
it's
part
of
my
questions,
I
think,
are
pretty
perfectly
filled
in
with
the
other
members
questions
so
we're
at
we.
You
know
we're
transferring
1.3
million
of
this
2
million
for
fuel
costs,
but
I
didn't
hear
that
a
breakdown
of
the
gasoline
vehicles
right,
which
is
mostly.
P
And
the
small
trucks
right
versus
the
diesel
cost
and
certainly
I,
don't
think
any
of
this
is
there
for
the
there's,
there's
no
increase
in
the
fueling
or
charging
of
electrical
vehicles,
I
suppose
right,
but
if
you've
got
having
your
heads,
a
general
ballpark
of
you
know
is:
is
that
Gap
that
jump
from
3.2
million
I
think
which
was
2021
and
projected
to
be
a
five
million
dollar
fuel
cost
was
going
to
jump,
is
equal?
We
distributed
food,
distributive
treatment.
O
And
looking
at
the
numbers,
I
I'd
say
yes:
basically,
the
price
of
fuel
has
gone
up
dramatically
in
2022
compared
to
what
were
the
prices.
P
So
the
flow
of
diesel-
and
yes,
yes
and
do
you-
have
numbers
in
front
of
you
of
like
how
much
of
our
you
know
projected
five
million
dollar
budget
is
gasoline
versus
diesel
or
diesel
versus
gasoline.
Currently-
and
this
is
like
you
know,
I've
so
got
like
now,
a
two
row
chart
in
my
head:
I've
got
like
so:
we've
got:
gasoline-powered
vehicles,
diesel-powered
vehicles,
electrical
power
vehicles
and
councilman
Coco.
P
You
know
looking
for
numbers
on
the
kind
of
acquisition
costs
from
three
rows
versus
like
operational
costs,
with
repairs
and
maintenance,
but
they
were
like
fuel
costs
would
be
a
third
day
and
I
think
would
be
really
helpful
for
members.
You.
D
B
P
Right,
the
second
right,
but
to
be
thinking
about
how
what
are
these
roles
in
class,
like
it's,
probably
in
your
minds
when
you're
looking
at
how
we
are
changing
our
fleets
and
how
you
know
what
are
the
different
kind
of
relative
fuel
costs,
but
we
I
don't
think
we've
seen
it
broken
out
that
way
and
so
I
think
the
future
discussions
would
be
really
helpful.
If
you
have
any
kind
of
impression
about
that
now,
I'll
be
interesting.
P
In
my
mind,
like
you're
still
running,
basically
just
our
haulers
right
on
diesel
I,
don't
know
how
much
are
clean.
It's
diesel.
O
Most
of
our
heavy
duty,
Fleet
is
these.
Also
fire
apparatus
gave
us
ambulances
and
Rusty
trucks,
as
well
as
the
the
refuse
and
recycling
collars.
O
Your
question
with
the
diesel
versus
unleaded
I
can
say
that
monthly
average
we
use
twice
as
much
unleaded
as
we
do
diesel,
but
we
also
have
many
more
unleaded
Vehicles
than
diesel,
and
then
diesel
prices
are
are
usually
around
a
dollar
or
more
per
gallon
than
unleaded,
but
any
more
information
than
that.
How
could
they
are
for
you
I'm,
happy
to.
P
I
Your
thanks,
Mr
chair,
appreciated
how
Brandon
welcoming
just
a
probably
more
comment
than
a
question:
I.
Think
as
we
proceed
to
lay
this
foundation
for
electrifying
our
vehicles,
our
Fleet
I
think
it
would
be
proven
of
us
to
Lobby.
If
that's
the
right
word,
our
state
and
federal
electeds
to
pay
attention
to
the
electric
grid.
I
I
can't
imagine
you
know
10
15
20
30
years
from
now,
where
this
really
does
come
to
fruition
and
most
companies.
Most
manufacturers
change
over
to
electric
vehicles
because
of
consumer
demand.
We're
going
to
see
staggering
increases
of
Demand
on
the
grid.
That
is
already
fragile
and
I.
Think
the
the
two
conversations
that
you
are
there
is
go
hand
in
hand
and
then
it
would
be
very
prudent
of
us
to
begin
to
lay
the
groundwork.
The
argument
to
our
state
federal
legislators.
A
Have
no
nevermind
any
further
discussion,
if
not
I'll
simply
add
I
was
getting
ready
to
ask
our
budget
director
the
question
of
as
we
move
to
electric
vehicles,
who's.
Actually
investing
in
that
infrastructure.
Is
it
all
left
on
the
equipment,
leasing,
Authority
or
is
that
actually
the
city?
That's
going
to
be
investing
in
that
infrastructure
currently
the
deal?
So
that's
that
that's
what
I
thought
So.
A
Currently
it's
on
the
ELA
to
actually
invest
in
that
infrastructure
and
even
as
we
look
towards
this
potential
budget
cycle,
the
question
of
do
you,
invest
in
our
charging
stations
currently
to
Brandon's
point
of
getting
longer
faster
charging
stations?
All
of
that
is
currently
on
Ela
I
would
argue
it
should
probably
be
on
the
city,
but
as
we
have
this
conversation,
that's
something
for
us
to
consider
so
third
round.
Council
president.
Thank.
H
You
I
just
want
to
add
that
I
mean
as
we're
talking
about
all
these
things.
Some
of
the
things
that
we
are
faced
with
are
I
think
we
need
to
be
better
educated
on
on
a
lot
of
these
things,
because
how
these
things
come
to
fruition
and
we
talk
a
lot
about
solar
panels.
We
talk
a
lot
about
the
gasoline
and
all
those
things,
but
I
think
some
of
those
things
that
you,
the
electric
vehicles
and
some
of
the
other.
H
You
know
the
solar
panels,
things
like
that
depend
on
fracking
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
the
reason
the
gas
is
going
up
is
because
we're
not
doing
some
of
those
things
so
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
us
to
have
a
conversation
and
be
educated
a
little
bit
in
this
area
to
make
sure
we're
making
right
decisions,
because
I
don't
know
that
we're
making
all
the
best
decisions,
but
I
think
we
all
want
to
do
what's
best
for
the
environment
and
best
for
the
to
be
fiscally
responsible
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
and
for
our
taxpayers.
H
So
I
just
think
it's
better
to
have
like
a
better
conversation,
a
conversation
we're
more
educated
in
that
area,
because
I
know
myself
I
get
confused
when
somebody
says
to
me.
If
you
want
to
do
solar
panels,
you
get
those
things
by
fracking.
You
know
that
that
kind
of
stuff,
by
fracking
so
or
by
drilling
so
I,
think
it's
just
better
to
to
understand
some
of
those
things.
So
maybe
we'll
do
some
briefings
just
to
get
a
better
understanding.
A
H
I
think
she
is
amazing,
I
think,
would
be
great
George
with
her
and
I.
Think
councilman
gross
also
is
really
good
in
this
area,
too
I
mean
I.
Think
everybody
wants
to
be
great
at
it.
I
think
that
we
it's
a
balance
that
we
have
to
have,
but
I
think
making
the
right
decisions
going
forward
would
mean
we
need
to
be
better
educated
as
a
body.
So
thank.
K
There
are
a
lot
of
keys
to
solar.
One
is
storing
it
in
large
batteries.
Another
is
allowing
for
distributed
systems
that
I
think
is
actually
a
bipartisan
bill
in
the
legislature
is
allowing
us
to
move
forward
more
than
any
other
renewable
energy
bills
that
would
allow
for
people
who
produce
power
at
their
own
houses.
K
To
then
share
it
with
those
who
don't
have
the
potential
to
have
solar
on
their
houses
right
and
actually
feed
it
back
into
the
system
to
have
Micro
grids
to
allow
that
to
have
to
be
more
distributed,
rather
than
centralized
a
lot
of
things
that
can
make
it
easier
and
I'll
just
mention
that
the
price
of
Solar
is
now
and
other
types
of
renewable
energy.
Not
all
is
reaching
the
point
that
it's
really
competitive
with
coal.
K
It's
becoming
much
more
price
competitive
with
coal,
so
the
economic
Arguments
for
these
types
of
energy
sources,
whether
it
is
powering
our
vehicles
through
you
know,
electric
vehicles
through
solar
charging
stations
or
other
things,
are
much
more
possible
and
fiscally
responsible
for
a
city
to
do
than
they
were
previously.
But
I'd
love
to
save
this
conversation
for.
P
G
Front
lines
of
this
for
sure
yeah
yeah,
we'll
wait
for
you
know
a
more
broad
conversation
on
it.
A
G
I
didn't
have
to
do
this.
I
did
and
with
the
contingency
of
you
know,
special
permission
or
if
the
street
or
the
byway
calls
for
it
that
you
know
Domi
can
make
the
decision
to
do
it
in
Asphalt,
and
we
had
talked
about
this
particular
Street
I.
Remember,
and
you
were
okay
with
that
being
asphalted
right.
H
I'm
going
to
be
okay
with
it,
but
but
I
thought
you
had
introduced
legislation.
H
Maybe
we'll
ask
the
law
department
to
get
us
some
clarity
on
in
our
solicitor
that
councilman
coghill
put
in
legislation
so
that
when
we
had
asphalt
streets
that
we
wanted
to
or
concrete
streets
or
a
red,
brick
or.
H
If
we
wanted
to
have
them
paved
with
asphalt,
we
didn't
need
to
go
through
this
legislation
all
the
time,
but
yet
every
time
I
want
a
street
change
from
concrete
to
Asphalt.
I
have
to
go
through
this
process,
still
a
match
to
go
through
this
process.
Still
so
I
just
want
to
make
clearly
do
we
need
it
or
not.
That's
all
all.
G
Know
Belgian
block
street
it's
to
remain
that
way,
unless
there's
good
reason
behind
it
and
that
therefore
the
domey
or
whoever's
taking
on
that
project
is
to
come
to
you
and
say
well,
look
this
just
makes
sense
and
if
it
makes
sense
to
you
in
the
neighborhood,
most
importantly,
if
they're
okay
with
it,
then
apparently
you
know
you
know
we
we
give
them
permission
to
obviously
doing
an
asphalt
because
it
you
know
the
outrageous
prices
of
concrete
and
block,
and
you
know
red
brick.
It's
kind
of.
H
B
B
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation.
So
we'll
now
go
back
to
our
Public
Safety
Services
committee.
We
have
Bill
629
open
on
the
table.
Councilman
Krause,
if
you're,
okay,
with
referring
to
councilman
Burgess.
G
I
C
C
J
Sure
so.
I
want
to
thank
Jake
Pollock
and
the
administration.
Jake
Pollock
is
and
Bobby
Wilson
and
Laura
degroski
and
all
the
people
who
helped
me
rewrite
this,
this
piece
of
legislation,
so
they
could
have
widespread
buy-in.
J
Basically,
what
we
are
doing
is
we
have
changed
the
name
and
narrowed
the
focus
of
the
minute
of
the
legislation
to
what
it
is.
We
are
not
doing
now
in
the
city,
and
that
is
it's
called
the
Pittsburgh
strong
communities
and
if
I
can
walk
you
through
his
really
fairly
simple
and
what
it
does
is
it's
building
and
serving
strong
communities
where
residents
are
healthy,
safe
and
sound.
J
J
Basically,
it
says
two
things:
the
the
activities
are
really
twofold:
one
is
to
provide
public
engagement
and
an
ongoing
public
engagement
process
during
this
is
during
covet
when
we
had
the
recovery
funds.
One
of
the
things
that
struck
me
is
we
have
all
these
citizen
groups
that
came
to
us
to
ask
us
to
do
things
that
we
couldn't
do
right.
There
was
no
vehicle
to
kind
of
teach
them
how
to
engage
us
or
what
was
possible
to
engage
and
then
to
provide
capacity
building.
J
What
what
we
found
in
maybe-
and
this
is
really
true-
we
learned
this
in
the
Stop-
the
Violence
funding,
I'm
sure
that
Bobby
Austin
speak
to
us.
We
have
all
these
community-based
organizations
that
need
their
their.
They
need
pre-technical
assistance
and
a
lot
of
people.
They
want
to
start
their
own
businesses
that
they're,
really
they
need
pre-um
support
and
we
can
give
them
that
support.
J
And
finally,
this
would
be
staffed
by
the
public
engagement
office
of
council,
and
then
it
also
allows
us
to
set
up
an
advisory
group
of
each
member
of
council
can
appoint
an
expert
so
that
they
would
have
then
access
to
these
city-wide
resources
to
do
the
work
so
that
they
didn't
know
they
would
have
these
other
experts
on
ongoing
basis
to
to
meet
with
and
to
help
them
frame.
This
so
again,
I
want
to
take
the
administration.
J
We
talked
at
length
and
Jake
Pollock
literally
helped
write
it
and
amend
it,
and
I
really
appreciate
him
taking
the
time
to
actually
put
his
hands
on
it,
and
so
it
is
it
is.
We
think
it
is
something
the
city
is
not
doing
now.
J
It
does
not
interfere
at
all
in
what
the
city
is
doing,
nor
does
it
compete,
but
what
it
does
is
it
puts
our
our
offices
on
the
ground
providing
support
to
Citizens
small
businesses
and
community-based
organizations,
and
so
that's
what
the
amendment
does
and
it
changes
the
name
in
part
because
of
Mr
Wilson
Pittsburgh,
strong
communities
initiative
to
make
it
sure
makes
make
it
clear
that
it's
primarily
a
community-based
initiative
and
I'll
start
with
that.
I
You
I'm
curious
if
you'll
prevent
interrogatory
for
a
moment
if
there,
if
there's
a
funding
method,
you
know
that's
associated
with
this
at
this
point
in
time
or
if
there
will
be
a
request
for
funding
initiatives
to
be
associated
with
this
piece
of
legislation
in
the
future.
J
I,
don't
see
it
as
needing
funding,
but
because
our
office,
we
already
have
the
staff
to
implement
it
in
my
mind,
and
they
already
have
a
budget.
So
I
think
that
the
public
engagement,
the
public
engagement
office,
has
both
the
staff
and
sufficient
budget
at
least
now
to
do
the
work
and
I
think
that
there
will
be
funding,
but
not
from
us,
but
from
the
in
part.
J
There
will
be
some
funding
from
the
stop
the
violence
fund
to
community-based
organizations
that
will
help
them
base,
and
what
this
would
do
is
help
them
build
the
capacity
to
utilize
those
funds
and
to
match
those
funds
with
other
funding.
So
I
do
not
think
that
this
will
need.
I
We've
already
charged
organizations
with
application
for
access
to
stop
the
violence
funds.
Yes,
and
when
this
is
adopted,
then
this
will
go
back
out
if
you
will
permit
for
bid
for
a
lack
of
a
better
way
to
say
it
for
a
sort
of
arithm
thinking
of
who
might
want
to
make
the
application
to
apply
for
those
funds.
J
The
way
that
the
fund
is
said
situated
at
least
initially,
is
that
it
will
give
out
funding
every
six
months.
So
there
is
a
group
that
of
of
recipients
that
will
go
out
shortly
for
intervention
services
in
six
months.
There
will
be
another
group
of
proposals
for
those
who
are
doing
prevention
work.
J
A
Mr
chair
at
the
councilman,
thank
you
on
the
bill
as
amended:
councilman
Cartier,
okay!
Well,
we
haven't
amended
it
yet
yeah.
G
First
I
want
to
oh
I'm,
sorry
I,
apologize.
G
Now
I
want
to
compliment
you
on
trying
to
Define
our
new
hires
as
to
what
we
look
for
them
to
do:
they're
all
incredibly
talented,
oh
incredibly,
nice
people
and
I
really
just
wanted
to
point
out
with
Ricky
Moody
yesterday
you
know
once
in
a
while,
we
get
people
come
in
here
with
serious
problems.
You
know
whether
it's
abuse
or
you
know,
mental
illness.
We
never
I'm,
certainly
not
going
to
go.
Take
that
person
in
the
hallway
and
pretend
like
I'm,
going
to
figure
their
problems
out
for
them.
G
I
had
a
really
good
conversation
with
Ricky.
Yesterday
we
talked
for
about
an
hour
and
a
half
and
the
young
woman
who
spoke
at
this
Podium
who
had
abuse
issues.
You
know
he
immediately
engaged
at
your
direction.
Thank
you.
He
immediately
when
engaged
with
her
I
left
about
an
hour
and
a
half
later,
and
he
was
still
talking
to
her
out
on
that
bench.
So
that's
something
we
didn't
have
in
these
chambers
before
it's
something
I
welcome
and
it
was
nice
just
to
see
it
Be
an
Effective
in
person.
G
J
G
H
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
point
out
first
Ricky's,
not
part
of
the
community
engagement
office.
He
is
separate
and
and
I
think
that
he
could
actually
use
some
help
over
here,
because
that
was
not
what
he
was
hired
to
do.
He
was
not
hard
to
intervene
and
do
those
things
that
was
actually
a
function
the
administration
had
previously,
but
I
will
say.
Over
the
last
two
weeks,
we've
had
two
different
incidents
where
Ricky
came
out
and
intervened
and
helped
stop.
J
H
H
We
want
to
reduce
non-profit
space
and
and
do
those
kinds
of
things
that
we
have
more
on
the
tax
rules,
but
some
of
these
people
are
working
out
of
their
own
homes
and
and
not
having
any
space
at
all
to
work
in,
and
it
would
be
great
to
see
some
of
these
the
buildings
that
we
have
that
are
just
sitting
there.
Vacant
used
in
some
better
ways
like
the
the
park
building
and
Sheridan
Park
that
just
sits
there
and
it
could
be
using
used
for
programming.
H
You
know,
but
we've
always
been
hesitant
to
use
those
buildings,
but
they're
just
sitting
there.
So
I
think
we
should
be
doing
something
better,
so
I
think
that's
a
part
of
this
conversation
but
I
think
I've.
I
also
think
we
need
to
talk
about
when
you're
talking
about
employment
and
helping
people
with
you
know
their
own
businesses
I
think
we
need
to
talk
about
employment
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
because
a
lot
of
times
we
just
skip
over
some.
H
Some
of
these
people
start
their
non-profits
because
they've
been
skipped
over
or
because
they
cannot
get
a
job
here
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
because
we're
not
giving
people
a
chance.
We
talk
a
good
game
about
making
sure
everybody
else
is
paying
people
well
and
giving
people.
You
know
great
opportunities,
but
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
we
don't
always
do
it
ourselves.
So
I
hope
that
that's
part
of
this
conversation
I'm
going
for
that
we're
part
of
the
equation
here,
not
just
pushing
it
off
to
everybody
else.
H
To
do
what
we
think
should
be
done,
but
I
also
am
going
to
say
again.
The
only
thing
I
will
ever
vote
for
in
terms
of
non-profits
is
if
they
are
registered
501c3
themselves,
if
they're
in
good
standing
with
the
state
if
they
filed
Federal
990s.
If
they've
not
if
they've
been
in
existence
for
more
than
two
or
three
years,
they
should
be
at
least
in
that
process
somewhere
and
if
they've
been
around
for
two
or
three
years
and
haven't
done
that
I,
don't
care
what
conduit
they
use.
I'm
not
going
to
vote
for
that.
J
B
A
Opposed
any
further
discussion
on
the
bill,
as
amended
motion
to
hold
for
two
weeks.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
the
bill
will
be
held
two
weeks.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Cross,
thank
you
that
takes
us
to
Innovation
performance,
Asset,
Management
committee,
chaired
by
councilwoman
strasberger.
We
have
one
supplemental
paper,
Bill
752.,.
A
P
I
just
want
to
thank
members
of
the
still
Valley,
Authority
and
also
president
Smith.
He
did
some
research
into
this.
That
believed
that
she
is
more
comfortable
with
counselor
moving
this
forward,
no
councilwoman's
information.
This
is
passed
by
multiple
municipalities
at
the
same
time.
Basically,
and
the
other
municipalities
have
already
given
their
approval
to
the
resolution,
and
so
that
return
to
do
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
everybody
an
update.
H
H
I
apologize
the
administration
when
I
talked
to
Zeke
asked
for
a
two-week
hold
because
he's
away
this
week.
Okay,.
A
Opposed
they'll
be
held
two
weeks
that
takes
us
to
our
last
bill
bill
691.
P
Thank
you
just
a
reminder
to
members.
This
is
the
bill
that
moved.
There
was
three
bills
moving
Hazelwood
properties
on
our
agenda
several
weeks
ago.
Two
of
them
move
forward
I
motion
to
recommit
this
one,
the
last
week
standing
committee
and
we
held
the
lonely
and
that
allowed
us
to
once
again
kind
of
circle.
The
wagons
talk
against
a
new
array
gets
more
of
a
background.
P
Information
about
Tony,
Smith
and
I
did
a
phone
call
and
in
the
future,
they're
going
to
be
making
sure
that
they
would
have
been
president
Smith
on
other
District
5
properties.
As
a
reminder,
this
is
in
District
Five,
which
does
not
have
representation
on
Council
right
now
on
before
the
week.
It's
we're
comfortable
enough
to
get
this
one
forward.
A
Opposed
affirmative
recommendation
that
exhausts
our
agenda.
We
do
have
a
few
meeting
announcements
next
Tuesday
September
27th
with
sessions
at
1
and
2
p.m.
Council
will
hold
briefings
on
unhoused
populations
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Also
next
week
due
to
the
Rosh
Hashanah
holiday,
Council
will
hold
both
our
regular
and
standing
committee
meetings
on
Wednesday
September
28th
at
10,
A.M
and
1
30
p.m.
Respectively.
Speaker
registration
will
close
at
9
A.M
September
28th
for
the
regular
meeting
and
at
12
30
PM
September
28th
for
the
standing
committee's
midi
to
register
to
speak.
A
J
Cross
I
have
to
apologize.
I
realized
I'm,
going
through
my
email
and
I
realized
that
I
wrote
an
email.
Okay,
you
can't
hear
me
Mr
Cross,
I'm
gonna,
apologize
to
you.
I
realize
that
I'm
going
through
my
phone,
which
is
a
mistake
of
doing
email
on
my
phone
I,
wrote
an
email
on
September
9th
at
the
attachments
and
never
pressed
send.
So
you
were
right.
You
then
kicked
the
attachment.
I
didn't
press
send
on
September
9th,
and
so
that's.
J
H
Anybody
else
have
anything:
okay,
I'm,
sorry,
I
thought
so
long.
I
just
want
to
call
for
a
post
agenda
and
I'm
waiting
for
Ricky
Moody,
actually
to
send
me.
I
just
sent
him
a
text
about
the
Foster
about
it's.
It's
there's,
so
many
kids
in
foster
care
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
I
talk
about
it.
H
Often
how
one
of
my
neighborhoods
is
50
transient
and
the
school
is,
is
always
struggling
and
it's
50
transient
and,
as
we
start
drilling
down
in
some
numbers,
we
noticed
that
that
area
had
the
high
one
of
the
highest
rates
in
Allegheny
County
for
open
cyf
cases
and
I
think
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
across
the
Allegheny
County.
It's
an
issue
and
I
I
know
that
we
are
going
to
work
together
on
some
of
these
things,
with
the
county
and
and
with
others.
H
But
I
really
want
to
start
with
a
post
agenda
of
some
experts
on
what
we
can
do
as
a
counsel
and
one
of
the
things
we're
doing
with
our
magistrate
in
our
area
and
with
Ricky
Moody
is
we're
going
to
have
the
magistrate
working
with
Diane
and
Ricky,
and
instead
of
when
kids
get
sent
to
the
magistrate's
office
for
being
truant
or
whatever,
there
he's
going
to
put
a
program
in
place
to
go.
H
Put
a
program
in
place
that
they're
going
to
the
magistrate
will
now
send
people
to
to
this
this
program.
Instead,
the
parents
to
this
program
instead
of
finding
the
parents
a
way
to
help
the
families
stay
together
and
and
to
do
better,
but
also
this
is
an
issue
across
Allegheny
County.
So
there
were
several
judges
that
work
in
family
court
that
asked
if
they
could
be
a
part
of
it,
so
we're
going
to
bring
everyone
to
the
table
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
better
solution
for
our
families.
H
It's
so
limited
what
we
can
do
as
a
council,
but
if
we
can
put
programming
in
place
that
helps
families
do
better.
Then
that's
what
we
want
to
do,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
begin
with
the
post
agenda
so
that
we
do
understand
a
little
bit
better.
What
it
is
we
can
and
can't
do
and
how
we
can't
help
so
I'm
going
to
call
it
for
a
post
agenda
on
reunification
and
unification
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
A
Any
further
discussion
seeing
none
motion
to
approve
the
Minnesota
Journey
meeting
so.
