Thank
you.
Our
next
order
of
business
is
public
comment
and
I'd
like
to
remind
all
speakers
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are,
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted.
Please
restate
your
name
and
your
neighborhood
for
the
record,
once
you
are
called
our
first
registered
speaker,
is
naomi
mullen.
E
Good
morning,
shady
treats
not
shady
deals
in
bonaire.
First
do
no
harm
is
not
just
a
rule
of
medicine
government
shall
not
harm
the
people
or
can
be
held
accountable.
Blockbusting
and
infliction
of
emotional
distress
has
occurred
against
spawnaire.
Those
who
oppose
the
property
owners
of
bonaire
do
so
at
their
own
peril.
E
The
pennsylvania
state
constitution
says
that
government
was
created
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
we,
the
people,
decisions
and
actions
that
harm
the
people
are
not
acceptable.
There
are
elected
and
appointed
officials
that
have
proven
themselves
to
be
enemies
of
juan
air.
That
is
not
advisable.
E
Mayor,
gainey,
councilman,
coghill
and
state
representative
benham
have
all
pledged
to
help
bonaire
get
rid
of
our
detrimental
school
property
and
replace
it
with
a
green
space.
The
michael
mullen
memorial,
green
space
will
be
beneficial
to
all
ages
and
stages
of
people.
A
beautiful
calming
place
to
enjoy
fruit,
trees,
flowers
and
birds.
E
Will
the
rest
of
city
council
promote
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
bonaire
neighborhood?
We,
the
property
owners,
say
no
to
anything
other
than
a
green
space
to
replace
the
once
valuable
asset
of
the
school.
That
was
closed
against
our
will.
Reapportionment
is
thoroughly
rejected
by
we,
the
people
of
bonaire.
There
is
no
benefit
to
us
only
harm.
The
answer
is
no.

presidency

He
for
me
in
all
of
this
is
vote
by
voter
verification
and
signature
to
signature.
Verification
for
nomination
papers,
not
just
in
pennsylvania
and
allegheny
county
but
across
the
united
states,
now
vote
by
voter
verification
means
that
the
voter
has
the
ability
to
check
to
see
if
his
vote
or
her
vote
was
for
the
person
he
thinks
or
she
thinks
he
voted
for.
F
The
allegheny
county
pennsylvania
position
is
to
prevent
that
do
any
of
you
on
this
council
dispute.
What
I
just
said,
apparently
not.
There
is
no
one
that
I
know
of
in
the
allegheny
county
division
of
elections
that
disputes
that
we
cannot
check
as
a
consequence,
danny
cannot
prove
that
gainey
voted
for
dany.
Nor
can
any
of
you
on
this
council
prove
that
you
voted.
If
you
did
voted
for
yourselves,
you
can't
prove
anything.
F
F
The
second
is
signature
to
signature,
verification
on
nomination
papers,
the
state
of
pennsylvania
and
allegheny
county
do
not
require
verification
of
any
signature
on
nomination
papers.
No
state
id
is
necessary
to
have
a
signature
on
those
papers.
That
means
that
those
signatures
could
be
by
anyone
from
anywhere
in
any
way
whatsoever.
F
F
One
of
the
concerns
that
has
come
up
over
and
over
again
is
the
issue
of
inclusionary
zoning
and
affordable
housing.
This
morning,
the
pittsburgh
business
news
reported,
if
you
notice
that
the
the
city
in
the
world
that
leads
in
affordable
housing
is
pittsburgh.
F
Now
there
are
many
of
us
who
don't
believe
that,
but
that's
the
report,
if
that
is
true,
then
what
is
all
this
racket
about,
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh?
If
it's
being
reported
across
the
united
states
and
the
world
that
that
is
true,
then
why
do
this
at
all?
I
insist
that
you
investigate
what
that
means
in
relationship
to
what
you're
doing
with
iz
and.
G
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
receiving
me,
I'm
kimberly
patterson.
I
live
at
725
dunmore
street
in
the
12th
ward
of
pittsburgh,
and
I
am
a
46-year
resident
in
the
home
that
I
live
in.
I'm
a
proud
homeowner
in
a
very
rural
area
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
residents
excuse
me
of
the
low
side
of
dunmore
street,
which
is
deemed
a
private,
yet
the
hat
which
is
deemed
private.
Yet
the
high
side
of
the
street
was
made
public
years
ago,
I'm
advocating
for
the
passage
of
legislation.
G
G
We
don't
get
city
services
and
mr
councilman
burgess
is
aware
of
this.
There
are
seven
families
that
reside
in
that
area
in
that
block
and
we're
all
impacted
by
this
legislation,
which
we
hope
will
be
passed,
we're
here
to
beseech
you
to
pass
this
legislation.
The
proposal
language
was
excellently
written.
The
only
statement
that
is
incorrect
is
the
time
that
we've
been
seeking
services.
G
G
In
spite
of
paying
our
taxes
for
the
city
services,
the
residents
don't
receive
snow,
plowing
or
paving
services,
half
the
residents
are
elderly
and
on
fixed
incomes,
we've
experienced
more
severe
winters
as
such
as
such,
the
terrain
is
very
dangerous.
The
last
snowstorm,
the
aaa
trucks,
could
not
assist
several
residents
which
were
snowed
in
vehicles.
This
is
very
dangerous
for
the
citizens
and
the
ems
workers.
G
As
I
mature
in
years,
I
realize
the
severity
of
the
situation
with
residents
struggling
to
maintain
homes
in
these
high
inflation
times.
We
cannot
secure
and
pay
private
contractors
for
snow
removal
or
street
paving
yet
our
tax
dollars
contribute
to
the
city
services.
We
would
like
for
you
to
consider
yourselves
your
parents,
your
loved
ones.
G
If
you
have
paid
your
taxes
for
almost
50
years,
you
have
worked
all
your
lives
yet
been
relegated
to
an
unusual
quagmire
situation
that
can
be
rectified
by
passing
this
legislation.
Keep
in
mind
that
this
legislation
could
save
lives
and
contribute
to
the
aesthetics
of
the
city
we
call
home.
Therefore,
we
are
beseeching
you
to
pass
this
legislation
to
make
us
a
public
street.
H
Hi
good
morning,
council
members,
can
you
hear
me.
H
Creating
a
license
for
short-term
rentals
as
well
as
a
registry
of
those
renting,
as
well
as
the
guests
of
these
short-term
rentals.
My
name
is
andre
del
valle.
I'm
the
senior
director
of
government
affairs
for
the
pennsylvania
apartment
association,
we're
a
statewide
organization
representing
apartment
owners,
managing
companies
and
their
industry,
suppliers
representing
37
407
units
and
21
management
companies
here
in
pittsburgh.
H
The
safety
of
our
residents
is
the
utmost
priority
and
we
welcome
the
opportunity
to
work
with
this
legislative
body
to
find
common
sense
solutions
that
keeps
residents
safe
within
our
units.
I've
emailed
my
information
to
councilmember
wilson,
as
well
as
the
chief
clerk
as
the
clerk
and
once
again,
would
like
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
this
morning
and
your
consideration
on
holding
this
legislation
for
future
stakeholder
engagement.
Thank
you.
So
much.
I
Good
morning,
council
members,
thank
you
for
your
time.
My
name
is
bill.
Schlachter,
a
long
time
resident
of
mount
washington,
I'd
like
to
suggest
changes
to
the
proposed
short-term
rental
ordinance
to
help
strengthen
it.
Currently,
the
ordinance
allows
for
llcs
to
be
the
owner
of
a
building
and
utilize
it
as
purely
a
short-term
rental
property.
Many
cities,
however,
including
philadelphia
and
denver,
require
short-term
airbnb
rental
to
be
a
unit
of
a
primary
resident.
I
These
cities
have
found
that
this
requirement
creates
more
accountability.
As
often
many
of
these
llc's
are
filled
with
investors
that
aren't
from
the
community
like
in
pittsburgh.
They
are
there
for
the
quick
investment
booking
bucks
and
never
even
reside
in
the
neighborhood,
and
this
community
certainly
doesn't
need
more
absentee
landlords
taking
advantage
of
our
community.
I
Additionally,
your
proposed
ordinance
permits
multi-unit
buildings
to
be
utilized
as
airbnbs,
but
does
not
permit
hotels
to
be
airbnb's.
I
think
this
ordinance
needs
clarity
here
as
a
multi-unit
fill
with
5,
10,
15
or
even
more
units.
All
dedicated
to
airbnbs
shore
sounds
like
a
property
masquerading
as
a
hotel.
I
What
may
I
ask,
is
really
the
difference
between
a
hotel
and
a
multi-unit
filled
with
short-term
airbnb
rentals
and,
as
your
proposed
ordnance
notes,
hotels
are
not
permitted
to
be
airbnb's.
Many
of
the
areas
where
airbnbs
reside,
such
as
where
I
live
on
mount
washington,
are
also
not
zoned
for
hotels,
but
rather
residential
zones.
There
was
a
reason
for
that
to
keep
it
a
residential
community
of
individuals
who
also
pay
taxes
to
the
city.
Additionally,
what
safety
oversight
is
there
in
a
multi-unit
building
with
5,
10
15
or
more
transient
units?
I
At
least
hotels
have
a
front
desk.
Lastly,
the
transformational
trend
of
converting
multi-unit
buildings
and
residential
areas
to
transient
short-term
rental
places
more
instability
and
pressure
onto
the
housing
rental
market,
like
in
other
cities.
This
in
turn
will
drive
up
the
rental
prices
and
create
additional,
affordable
housing
problems
that
I
don't
think
any
member
of
this
council
seeks.
I
It
also
weakens
the
adhesiveness
of
our
community
fabric.
Our
communities
need
more
stability,
getting
to
know
one
another
looking
out
for
each
other
sitting
in
living
rooms
and
on
the
stoops
at
our
neighbors
and
talking
about
how
we
can
improve
our
schools,
our
neighborhoods,
and
help
our
families
and
friends.
I'm
not
sure
those
are
the
types
of
conversations
or
actions
happening
in
the
transient
corporate
owned
airbnbs,
whose
owner's
focus
is
not
on
strengthening
our
community,
but
rather
is
more
focused
on
strengthening
the
wallet
of
the
outside
investors.
A
J
Good
morning
my
name
is
yvonne:
f
brown.
I
live
in
the
hill
district.
I
was
going
over
my
papers
and
I
ran
across
papers
from
january
of
2003,
where
I
had
a
petition,
a
petition
for
open
hearing.
Because
of
counsel
all
the
white
men
went
to
harrisburg
but
did
not
tell
miss
carlisle,
the
black
woman
or
solomon
dean,
which
that's
questionable.
I'm
told
that
they
told
saul
he
just
didn't
come.
J
When
I
heard
ms
carlos
say
I
do
not
appreciate
standing
at
the
water
fountain
and
one
of
you
councilman
come
to
tell
me
that
you
went
to
harrisburg
and
I
know
nothing
about
it.
I
also
want
to
tell
you
on
that
petition
when
I
I
I
was
messing
with,
I
laid
it
down
in
the
wrong
place,
but
anyway,
on
that
petition,
the
very
last
signature
was
my
son,
anthony
c
johnson.
J
He
has
signed
that
petition,
so
he's
dead,
but
he's
still
fighting
that
you,
council
people
are
showing
racism
and
colorism
dark
impressive
people,
mr
burgess
and
mr
level,
we're
not
permitted
to
speak
as
you
like
infected
people.
Now
I
want
to
use
example:
you
don't
white
people,
you
might
not
understand
what
I'm
saying
about
the
color.
I
said
here
last
week.
It
was
mr
revell,
mr
burgess
and
mr
williams,
wilson,
and
there
was
a
woman
in
there.
She
asked
me
said:
is
there
no
black
councilman?
J
I
said
yeah
they're,
like
they
they're
black,
but
they
lack
pigmentation.
Yes,
you
do
and
you
don't
care
for
us
dark,
complected
people,
because
you've
shown
that
even
after
boston
came
here,
you
wouldn't
let
her
continue
but
you'll,
let
tim
stevens.
Now
I
want
to
bring
something
else
up
when
you
were
talking
about
defunding
the
police.
I
said
no
we're
going
to
say
reform,
I'm
not
talking
about
defunding
see
if
I
listened
to
tim
stevens
when
he
said
yes,
and
if
you
I
I'm
a
mix
like
I
have
a
mixed
children.
J
So
what's
he
saying
if
you
see
like
impacted
and
there's
stevens,
don't
don't
kill
him?
My
son
was
very
dark.
That's
why
he
died.
He
was
begging
for
his
life
begging
for
his
life.
He
said
I
got
one
lung.
He
was
bleeding
from
his
head
and
they
left
them
and
said
if
the
troublemaker
starts
any
more
trouble.
My
son
walked
in
the
door
and
was
knocked
out,
but
yet
still
they
left
him.
J
My
daughter
says
anytime,
it's
a
drunk
on
the
street
and
there's
blood
from
his
head,
which
the
policeman
wrote
that
my
son
was
drinking
water.
He
looked
okay
with
the
issue
of
blood,
they
seen
he
was
bleeding.
He
said
he
had
one
lung,
he
was
crying
and
they
left
them.
The
man
came
back
and
kicked
my
son
to
death.
I
felt
the
pain
I
was
at
my
daughter's
at
my
friend's
house.
I
felt
a
pain.
J
K
Good
morning,
council
tim
stevens
chairman,
ceo
of
black
political
empowerment
project,
b-pep,
2201
wally,
avenue
clarification
from
my
sister,
who
just
spoke:
the
black
political
empowerment
project
and
the
guy
before
you
who's
been
an
advocate
for
over
50
years.
I
advocate
when
I
advocate
for
black
people,
I'm
not
advocating
for
light-skinned
black
people,
I'm
advocating
for
black
people
please.
K
I
am
very
clear,
however,
because
I
am
a
light-skinned
african-american
that
that
the
issue
of
color
in
our
society
has
never
been
resolved
even
among
black
people
and
that's
something.
That
is
honest.
It
is
true,
but
we
must
be
clear
that
we
advocate
for
the
support
of
african
americans
and
for
people
of
color
with
regard
to
the
legislation.
That's
before
you.
I
appreciate
you
dealing
with
this.
K
We
have
a
meeting
at
two
o'clock
today
that
councilwoman
liv
bennett
has
initiated
council
woman
from
for
the
county,
13th
district
representatives
of
the
black
political
empowerment
project,
culture
against
violence
and
the
north
side.
Partnership
had
a
literal,
two
and
a
half
hour
conversation
two
days
ago
about
five
or
six
of
us
specifically
outlining
some
thoughts
on
violence
beyond
our
coalition
document,
which
we
will
be
presenting
today
at
two
o'clock,
some
of
which
will
be
presented
again
friday
at
six
at
the
north
side.
Partnership.
K
K
We
appreciate
your
speed,
particularly
when
dealing
with
what
we
saw
happen
on
easter
sunday
to
make
sure
that
the
writing
is
done
in
a
way
that
all
rights
are
protected,
but
I
wanted
to
encourage
you
the
fact
that
you
have
moved
forward
to
do
something
that
I
wanted
to
congratulate
you
on
that,
because
this
is
this
violence
thing
is
just
it's
out
of
hand,
and
we
all
have
to
do
various
actions
and
activities
right
to
impact
it
from
every
perspective
possible.
K
So
that's
where
we
are
with
that
and
and
also
because
it's
come
about
so
quickly
to
give
more
community
groups
from
different
neighborhoods
and
input
opportunity
right
to
review
this,
because
I
literally
just
got
it.
I
tried
to
get
it
from
council
yesterday
and
I
only
got
an
overview.
I
didn't
get
the
actual
document.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
any
other
speakers
with
us
in
chambers
and
or
online
seeing
none
that
will
move
us
to
our
sending
committee's
agenda
the
first
committee
of
the
day
being
financed
in
law,
which
is
chaired
by
myself?
Madam
clerk,
can
you
read
216
to
17
18?
Together
all
three
have
had
executive
sessions.
L
A
One
extension
on
bill
216.,
thank
you,
councilman
that
takes
us
to
bill
219.
A
L
M
Very
much
who
would
be.
N
So
patrick
cornell
assistant
director
for
the
operating
side
of
things
in
the
office
management
and
budget,
the
way
this
contract
will
be
structured
is
a
revenue
profit
sharing,
so
commonwealth
press
will
be
able
to
take
on
the
costs
of
marketing
design
production,
and
then
you
know
from
their
proceeds
they
will
remit
a
percentage
back
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
N
Some
of
the
designs
will
work
through
the
administration
side.
You
know
the
relevant
department.
Directors
are
marketing
and
design
professionals
in
imp
in
the
sign
shop,
and
you
know,
and
the
grand
scheme
of
things
amir
and
the
mayor's
office.
C
N
Right
so
legally
we
are
not
able
to
copyright,
the
city
flag
or
the
city
seal.
There's
case
law
working
through
that.
But
you
know
program
names,
department,
names,
department,
seals
and
department
logos.
We
do
have
the
ability
to
market
designs
based
around
those.
C
So,
for
instance,
comparable
to
other
cities,
obviously
new
york
right,
they
probably
generate
a
lot
of
revenue
from
marketing
there.
Do
we
anticipate
healthy
revenue?
Is
there
any
forecast
as
to
how
much.
N
Not
yet
we
are
trying
to
structure,
you
know
where
we
would
like
to
structure
this
agreement
with
a
certain
percentage
and
if
things
work
well,
we
would
reconsider
what
that
final
percentage
looks
like
with
commonwealth
press.
I
do
not
have
the
details
of
of
what
other
cities
are.
Making
you
know.
New
york
city
was
was
a
big
base
and
model
for
this
rfp
as
we're
moving
through
it.
Yeah.
M
Thank
you
is
there,
I
don't,
I
can't
think
of
a
better
terminology.
Healthy
boundaries.
Are
there
healthy
boundaries
around?
What
kinds
of
merchandise
can
actually
be
produced
for
remark.
N
Okay,
I
will
make
sure
we
address
that.
F
A
D
O
Yeah,
what
does
this
bill
effectively
do.
P
A
D
D
L
Bill
104
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
or
acting
director
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
through
the
city's
department
of
law,
to
adopt
certain
settlement
terms
and
enter
into
a
settlement
agreement
with
norfolk,
southern
railway,
manchester
citizens,
corporation
northside
leadership,
conference
and
rail
pollution
protection
pittsburgh.
In
order
to
resolve
claims
arising
from
the
application
of
norfolk
southern
railway
company
for
approval
to
reconstruct
the
crossing
of
the
north
avenue
brighton
road
bridge
docketed
at
public
utility
commission
and
from
northside
leadership
conference
at
all
versus
the
pennsylvania.
O
D
A
Most,
it
will
be
held
one
week
that
takes
us
to
land
houston
economic
development
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
councilman
wilson.
We
have
one
supplemental
paper
bill,
270.,.
O
Yeah
before
I
get
started,
I
just
want
to
make
a
the
what
we
call
a
scribner's
error.
I
want
to
just
make
a
motion
to
just
change
in
the
severability
clause.
0.0,
it's
a
typo
0.0.
D
O
Sorry,
yeah
just
a
voice:
okay,
all
right,
yeah.
I
want
to
make
some
some
comments
and
then
my
my
intention
is
to
to
hold
the
bill
and.
O
Make
the
make
the
comments
about
the
bill
the
bill
is,
is
in
the
works
looking
forward
to
working
with
members,
you
know.
I
appreciate
the
comments
made
and
all
the
emails
that
that
been
received.
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
robust
conversation
around
this
and
I
do
have.
I
do
have
some
recommendations
but
I'll
defer
to
the
council
president.
Q
I
just
want
to
say
that
we're
going
to
hold
this,
because
the
administration
has
some
things
that
they'd
like
to
add
public
safety
thanked
us
to
bring
it
forward
that,
but
they
have
some
things
that
they
want
to
add
tim
stevens.
I
understand
made
some
comments
today
that
he
would
like
some
more
additional
people
involved
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
councilwoman
gross
councilman
wilson
and
all
the
members
that
co-sponsored
justin.
Q
I
think
there
was
just
about
almost
every
member,
but
could
we
maybe
play
back
that
so
that
we
can
add
the
sponsors
co-sponsors
that
wanted
to
be
added?
I
can
remember
all
the
names
off.
H
Q
I
got
it,
you
know
there
were
quite
a
few,
and
so
I
just
want
to
respect
that
that
they
they
need
to
add
it
to
the
bill,
and
that's
it
just
that
we're.
I
want
to
work
with
everyone
on
it,
but
I
I
know
that
this
was
important
to
councilman
wilson
in
particular,
because
what
happened
with
his
area
this
week,
but
this
is
something
councilman
gross
started
back
in
2014
2015..
Q
She
worked
with
then
it's
my
understanding,
councilman.
Q
Gilman,
who
was
he
was
a
councilman
at
the
time
and
I
believe,
or
he
was
maybe
at
the
mayor's
office,
but
I
can't
remember
but
that
they
had
started
working
on
it
back
then.
I
started
working
on
it
with
our
solicitor
city
council
solicitor,
dan
friedtson.
Q
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
writing
this
and
finally
getting
it
moving,
but
it
was
for
my
part,
it's
because
I
have
people
on
grandview
avenue,
being
evicted
from
their
home
five
families
being
evicted,
because
someone
from
out
of
town
bought
their
property
and
is
turning
it
into
an
airbnb
with
no
regulations.
No.
Q
Permit
for
that
kind
of
activity,
no
kind
of
zoning
for
that
on
grandview
avenue,
and
I
also
have
people
all
throughout
great
mount
washington
and
duquesne
heights,
calling
me
and
talking
to
me
about
the
issues
that
they're
struggling
with
throughout
that
area,
and
it's
a
lot
so
for
my
part,
that's
what
I
was
addressing.
I
was
working
with
my
some
of
my
constituents
in
my
area
and
then
it
escalated
and
I'll.
Q
Let
councilman
wilson
speak
to
himself
for
himself
but
would
hit
the
issues
that
he
experienced
over
the
weekend
and
he
also
was
working
on
legislation.
So
that's
why
we
all
came
together,
but
we
all
have
very
different
reasons.
Councilwoman
gross
is
inundated
with
these
types
of
properties
in
her
district.
Q
D
Q
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
working
together.
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
everyone
coming
up
with
the
best
possible
solution
for
pittsburgh
for
all
of
pittsburgh.
That's
it!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilman.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chair
bob.
Would
you
come
out
please,
and
just
one
thing:
I'd
like
to
speak
to
making
certain
we
address
in
the
bill
before
we
move
to
hold
the
bill
is
something
that's
very
similar
to
our
rental
registry,
and
that
is
having
a
local
responsible
agent,
I
think,
is
the
terminology
we
use
in
rental
registry
so
that
we
can
easily
contact
someone
hi
bob.
M
Would
you
come
to
the
table
please
so
that
we
have
a
source
to
contact
when
there
are
problems
that
are
arising
and
something
like
this
that
might
have
been
in
place
sunday
evening
or
a
saturday
evening
might
have
been
a
preventative
tool.
So
bob,
would
you
introduce
yourself
please
for
this.
M
Thank
you,
and
so
bob,
and
I
have
had
lengthy
discussions
about
the
inability
to
to
reach
airbnb
when
there
are
problems
with
properties,
whether
that
you
know
be
noise
or
late
night
activity
or
whether
that
be
overcrowding
or
waste
management.
M
Whatever
the
case
may
be,
there
are
outlets,
and
bob
will
speak
to
these
of
other
things
in
the
city,
like
scooters
and
other
entities
where
they
do
provide
provision
for
very
easy
accessibility
to
work
through
problems
and
but
what
we
find
with
airbnb
is
that
is
not
the
case,
and
so
I
wanted
bob
to
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
so
that
we
could
take
into
consideration
for
this
bill
the
importance
of
having
a
local
agent
to
be
able
to
contact
directly.
So
bob,
please
yeah.
Thank
you.
Councilman.
B
So
we
get
calls
very
regularly
about
airbnb.
Sometimes
it's
for
parties,
but
more
often
than
not
it's
for
routine
managing
of
trash
of
parking
issues.
Things
like
that
and
sorry.
The
issue
that
we
have
is
that
we
airbnb
provides
no
extra
service,
no
extra
liaisons,
that
other
companies
have
that
we
work
with
all
the
time
here
at
council,
so
it
really
does
fall
on
the
property
owner.
B
Who
often
is
not
a
local
agent
who's,
often
hidden
behind
an
llc
there's,
no
local
agent,
someone
in
allegheny
county
or
even
you
know
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
able
to
help
us
with
our
problems.
Here
I
compare
them
a
lot
to
like
healthy
ride
or
spin.
If
you
ever
deal
with
with
one
of
those
organizations,
they're
johnny
on
the
spot,
they
solve
your
problem
the
next
day
and
are
at
least
willing
to
talk
to
you
when
you
deal
with
airbnb.
B
The
onus
is
on
you
to
prove
that
this
property
is
an
airbnb.
You
can
hear
from
the
neighbors
that
have
talked
to
residents
and
have
said
oh
we're
here
for
an
airbnb
for
the
weekend
for
the
steeler
game
or
whatnot,
but
airbnb
makes
you
create
an
account
and
then
have
to
go,
try
to
to
rent
out
the
same
property
to
prove
that
this
actually
was
an
airbnb.
You.
B
So
the
onus
is
really
on
us
to
prove
that
this
actually
is
an
airbnb.
Despite
the
fact
that
you
know
the
neighbors
are
complaining
about
their
inability
to
manage
their
trash
or
parties
that
are
happening
at
the
property
airbnb
says,
I
don't
think,
that's
us.
It's
the
same
problem
that
we
deal
with
when
we
deal
with
any
sort
of
llc.
That's
you
know
renting
on
an
out
of
town
property
that
and
really
the
impetus
for
why
we
need
the
rental
registry.
B
The
same
problem
happens
here
and
there's
nothing
that
makes
an
airbnb
owner
a
better
property
owner
than
than
just
being.
You
know
anyone
else
it
really
there's
airbnb
provides
no
support
for
that,
and
you
know.
B
So
their
neighborhood
support
program
was,
I
think,
I
believe,
their
com,
their
response
to
multiple,
multiple
complaints
of
or
multiple
cities
that
have
complained
about
the
same
thing
here
and
you
know
it
doesn't
give
us
any
help
here.
It
really
is.
B
We
have
to
call.
We
have
to
wait
on
hold
I've
been
on
hold
for
90
minutes,
trying
to
get
in
touch
with
someone
from
airbnb
that
you
know,
and
then
we
just
have
to
talk
about
how
we've
created
an
account
and
how
you
know,
there's
there's
no
sort
of
liaison
that
can
work
with
with
council
that
can
work
with
the
city.
You
can
work
with
the
county
or
state
there's.
It
really
is
just
on
on
us
to
work
that
there
was
no
neighborhood
support
team.
B
I
think,
maybe,
two
years
ago
it's
a
relatively
new
program,
but
it's
it's
miles
away
from
you
know
what
spin
or
or
healthy
ride
does.
M
It
turns
out
to
be
bureaucracy
at
its
finest
so
like.
If
you
go
into
the
neighborhood
support
system.
The
first
thing
they
ask
you
is
in
an
emergency,
you
want
to
call
9-1-1,
is
it
a
house
party
or
is
there
disturbances
nearby?
And
then
you
request
a
platform
by
which
you
can
register
that
if
it's
non-urgent
send
us
a
message,
we
will
complete
the
form
we
will
send
you
an
email
you'll
need
to
confirm.
M
B
Of
the
things
that
happens,
a
lot
in
our
offices
we'll
get
a
phone
call
on
monday
morning
about
a
party
that
happened
on
friday,
and
we
say
that
hey
there
was
a
party
that
happened
over
the
weekend.
They
give
us
no
there's
no
benefit
of
the
doubt
there.
We
have
to
show
that
there
was
a
police
report
filed
it's
exactly
the
same
process.
We
we
have
to
go
through
for
a
rental
property.
B
Like
I
said,
airbnb
doesn't
give
any
sort
of
preference
to
us
calling
from
the
from
the
city
by
any
means.
M
So
the
the
spirit
of
airbnb
was
really
to
be
locally
locally
owned
housing
property,
where
a
sole
property
owner
a
single
unit
living
in
the
actual
unit
would
be
able
to
actually
rent
the
property
out.
What
we
find
and
I'm
sure
everybody
else
finds
again
and
again
and
again
is
commercial
investment.
I
believe
the
property
in
question
on
sunday,
night,
councilman,
wilson's
district
was
an
llc
that
was
an
investment
property
and
so
and
what
the
council
president
is
saying
about
what's
happening,
especially
when
you
look
at
an
area
like
grandview
avenue.
M
Of
course
that's
prime
real
estate
because
of
the
view-
and
so
you
have
people
investors
coming
in
they're,
investing
in
these
properties
solely
for
the
purpose
of
running
them
short
term
and
exorbitant
prices
with
really
no
regulation
on
them
or
any
again
I'll
emphasize
local
agent,
where,
when
there
are
concerns
that
we
have
someone
that
we
can
go
to
to
address
the
the
the
situation
at
hand
quickly
and
effectively,
it's
always
post
whatever
happened
and
then
again,
like
bob
said,
we
have
to
actually
approve
the
onus
on
us
to
actually
prove
that
it
is
a
airbnb
property.
M
M
Well,
parts
of
the
the
legislation
you
you
know
support
the
spirit
of
that.
I
think
we
can
go
a
little
bit
deeper
in
that
and
be
a
little
more
effective
and,
as
tim
stevens
was
saying
this
morning-
and
there
was
another
gentleman
that
spoke
this
morning
too,
the
concern
around
llc
coming
in
and
making
this
investment.
It
really
does
kill
the
spirit
of
what
arab
airbnb
was
intended
to
be
and
it
is
taking
it
to
a
completely
different
level.
M
So
another
concern
that
I
have
and
I'm
not
certain
that
that
we
are
able
to
address
that
through
this
bill,
but
it's
the
it's
the
people
that
want
to
go,
rogue
and
and
not
follow
systems
or
not
get
licensed
or
not.
You
know
follow
regulation,
so
we
had
a
very
similar
incident
on
carson
street.
You
might
want
you
want
to
talk.
Can
you
talk
about
that
without
giving
away
names
or
addresses,
but
can
we
talk
about
one
actor
in
particular,
rented
a
property
pretended
to
be
running
a
yoga
studio.
M
B
There's
there's
an
owner
of
a
owner
of
a
business,
she
doesn't
actually
own
the
property,
but
she
sub
releases
her
of
the
property
out
through
her.
She
is
the
lease
and
then
leases
it
out
to
two
parties.
Originally,
it
was
supposed
to
be
a
yoga
studio.
We
were
super
excited
about
that.
B
This
is
actually
also
in
councilman
o'connor's
district
they're
dealing
with
a
similar
issue
there
too,
but
she
was
instead
of
doing
yoga
in
the
mornings
and
it
was
supposed
to
be
yoga
in
the
mornings
and,
like
you
know,
little
parties
in
the
afternoon,
but
it
turned
into
ragers
five
dollars
ahead
or
twenty
dollars
ahead
to
come
in
and
you
know
and
have
you
know
beer
or
whatever
might
be
there,
and
it
was
a
nightmare
to
evict
these
people.
B
B
It
actually
ended
up
being
that
it
was
better
for
us
or
better
for
the
owner
to
actually
the
owner
of
the
actual
property,
not
the
owner
of
the
business,
to
find
a
way
to
break
the
lease
instead
of
going
through
an
eviction,
because
an
appeal
of
an
eviction
would
take
another
three
months
following
so
we
do
run
into
these
problems
with
with
these
not
not
great
business
owners
that
are
running
these
businesses
all
throughout
the
city
and
running
these
huge
parties.
The
same
woman
is
now
running
another
business
very
similar.
M
While
that
property
owner
was
able
to
break
the
lease
after
this
is
probably
about
a
year
into
this
was
able
to
break
the
lease.
She
did.
Leave
that
location
came
to
another
location
which
is
owned
by
an
llc
in,
I
believe
it's
in
mccandless
or
wilkins
township
and
then
held
the
event
friday
night
that
preceded
the
event
that
took
place
in
councilman
wilson's
district.
Where,
saturday
morning
I
got
calls
of
about
200
250,
underage
kids,
in
the
property
that
spilled
out
onto
carson
street.
M
They
had
to
close
the
street
momentarily
to
clear
the
crowd,
the
crowd,
of
course,
disburses,
but
goes
through
all
the
residential
areas.
My
phone
rings
off
the
hook
saturday
morning.
Can
you
believe
what
happened?
What
was
this?
Why
did
this
happen?
Had
neighbors
report
that
they
found
guns
that
were
stashed
in
the
bushes
and
on
and
on?
M
So
the
reason
I
bring
that
up
is
what
we
do
here
is
not
necessarily
going
to
regulate
the
people
that
want
to
go
rogue,
which
is
my
frustration,
and
I
don't
know
how
we
as
a
council
may
be
able
to
address
that
or
not
be
able
to
address
that.
But
I
thought
it
was
important
to
make
members
aware
that,
even
with
regulations
on
airbnb,
we
are
still
most
likely
going
to
deal
with
these
kinds
of
situations.
M
Last
summer
I
spoke
a
little
bit
about
this
yesterday,
where
it
felt
like
the
world
had
gone
off
the
rails,
and
you
know
all
I
I
did
last
summer
was
field
calls
from
from
people
that
were
opening
these
byob
clubs.
M
These
bottle
clubs
and
there's
another
term
for
them
speakeasies,
and
they
were
popping
up
everywhere
and
we
were
at
our
wit's
end
and
trying
you've
experienced
it
as
well
too
and
carrick,
and
we
were,
at
our
wit's
end
in
any
kind
of
regulation
to
try
to
shut
these
down,
one
club
actually
burned
to
the
ground,
which
was
the
only
way
we
were
able
to
actually
close
the
club.
Was
it
caught
fire
and,
thank
god,
no
one
was
in
there,
but
it
burned.
We
worked
collectively
with
the
district
attorney's
office
as
well.
M
I
had
some
comment
from
the
district
attorney's
office
yesterday
that
I'll
share
with
you,
council
president.
That
thought
might
be
helpful
in
strengthening
the
bill
as
well,
but
the
yeah.
Please
do
bob.
B
One
more
point
back
to
airbnb
is
it
there
are
good
airbnb
owners
out
there
and
we
know
many
of
them,
but
airbnb
also
doesn't
give
support
to
the
owners
of
of
properties.
There's
a
property.
That's
actually
right
across
from
my
house
that
was
con.
He
was
a
gentleman
who
purchased.
The
property,
was
continually
renting
it
out
as
an
airbnb,
but
was
always
having
problems
with
the
renters
that
he
was
renting
to
you
know.
B
Other
neighbors
were
calling
and
complaining,
and
eventually
he
ended
up
selling
the
property,
because
it
was
just
too
much
for
him
to
manage
and
what
he
you
know.
There
was
no
way
for
him
to
vet
to
make
sure
that
there
wasn't
going
to
be
a
party
thrown
there
that
night
and
it
just
ended
up
being.
You
know
too
much
for
him,
so
there
are
good
owners
there,
but
airbnb
doesn't
do
enough
to
support
them
either.
M
And
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
as
well
and
and
and
that
there
are
good
owners
and
you
know,
and
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
them.
I
imagine
members
are
getting
emails,
I'm
getting.
I
got
some
from
the
hey.
Like
look,
I
run,
I
run
a
good
airbnb
here.
You
know
I
want
to
help.
M
You
know,
please
don't
punish
me,
and
especially
at
a
time
when
you
know
the
social
economy
as
I'll
call,
it
has
taken
such
a
hit
through
pandemic
and
and
people
are
trying
to
reinvent
their
businesses,
and
you
know
I
remember
when
I
was
in
sacramento
two
weeks
ago
and
they
had
the
mass
shooting
the
the
mayor
came
out
and
he
implored.
M
Please
don't
let
this
stop
you
from
coming
to
our
downtown
areas.
You
know
where
we
need
to
repopulate
our
downtown
areas.
They
are
good,
they
are
safe,
they
are
clean,
you
can't
come
to
them
and
I
just
want
to
make
certain
that
that
we
do
recognize
that
there
are
responsible
owners
and
this
this
event
was
tragic
on
every
on
every
level.
M
This
was
tragic,
and
but
I
don't
want
to
paint
everybody
with
that
rush,
but
at
the
same
time
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
efforts
to
to
put
sensible
regulation
on
short-term
rental.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do.
We
need
to
do
that,
but
I
just
want
us
to
be
mindful
and
in
how
we
approach
it,
and
I
I
just
want
to
offer
my
help
any
way.
I
can
anything
else
bob
we
should
offer.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you,
mr
charlotte
he's
a
he's.
A
good
man.
Where'd
you
get
him
from
I.
You
know
he.
C
M
Bob
actually
worked
in
hill's.
C
Now,
regarding
the
bill
that
I
did
have
two
two
questions
actually,
first
and
first
one
was
regarding
pli,
you
know
with
already
an
overstretched
department.
Does
this
put
a
burden
on
them
to
make
sure
all
these
airbnbs
are
registered?
Is
it
has
anybody
talked
to
pli
about
this?
Okay
and.
Q
C
It
okay,
the
other
thing
was,
I
find
it
very
constructive.
You
know
and
helpful
to
have
telephone
numbers
and
names
of
people
who
are
staying
there
for
incidents.
Like
happened
the
other
night,
and
I
know
councilman
krauss
the
frustrations
we
have
when
we,
you
know,
have
a
property
owner
that
we
can't
find
you
know
wherever
they
are
in
the
world.
C
The
only
thing
I
didn't
feel
like
it
quite
fit-
and
maybe
somebody
can
explain
to
me-
is
that
the
15
day
limit
simply
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people
come
in
for
two
months
three
months
and
where
does
that
fit
in?
Is
that
necessary
part
of
this
bill?.
Q
So
I
don't
councilman
wilson
and
I
would
have
to
talk
about
it
and
councilwoman
gross,
because
she's
a
well
everyone
will
all
talk
about
it
right,
I
think
that's
part
of
the
process
is
where
we're
going
to
make
amendments,
and
that
has
been
brought
up
by
other
people
that
maybe
that
should
be
one
of
the
areas
that
we
look
to
amend,
because
there
are
people
that
come
in
for
longer
stays.
So
I
don't
want
to
say
that
we're
definitely
going
to
mend
it,
but
we're
definitely
looking
into
it.
Yeah.
C
Q
I
I
just
want
to
again
say
that
we
do
know
that
there
are
good
owners
and
that
there
are
some
people
that
operate
well,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
councilman
gross-
and
I
are
talking
about
and
I'm
already
working
with,
the
solicitor
on
some
incentives
for
those
local
people
that
are
doing
some
good
things
and
how
we
can
help
them.
Q
But
they
also
know
there's
people
who
claim
that
they're
good
and
not
are
not
always,
and
I've
actually
had
some
of
them
reach
out
to
me
and
say
that
they
would
love
to
help
me
and
I'm
thinking,
you're
exactly
why.
I'm
writing
this
bill,
because
you
know
we
do
have
concerns
with
some
of
the
properties
you
own.
Q
So,
although
there's
some
that,
I
think
are
offering
you
know
valid
solid
suggestions,
but
I
think
it's
up
to
us
and
our
solicitor,
our
city,
council
solicitor
and
our
law
department
to
work
through
the
you
know
what
is
going
to
work
and
what
is
not
going
to
work.
But
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
are
interested
in
doing
some
some
more
things.
I
know
councilman
wilson
is
eager
to
talk
about
it,
because
this
is
so
timely
for
himself
I'll
turn
it
over
to
him.
O
Wilson,
thank
you,
so
I
just
want
to
take
a
step
back
and
talk
about
just
you
know
you
were
starting
to
talk
about
what
happened,
the
actual
name
and
and
people
who,
like
a
contact
information
like
a
way
to
get
that
contact
information,
especially
for
public
safety.
O
So
you
know
I
was
immediately
starting
to
talk
with
public
safety
about
this
bill,
and
you
know
I
mixed
it
in
with
the
briefing
over
the
events
that
have
happened
and
just
really
trying
to
understand
from
their
nordic,
and
they
immediately
talked
about
options
that
other
cities
use
in
a
way
that
they
can
get
information
fast
on
the
property.
O
One
was
a
way
to
label
the
property
visually
whenever
you
know,
if,
if
law
enforcement
would
arrive
so
like
a
sticker
in
the
window,
but
obviously
not
all
properties,
look
the
same
so
I'd
like
to
work
with
you
know
just
you
know
the
idea
of
that
with
members,
but
then
also
how
that
would
actually
be
implemented
through
pli
I
mean
it
would
have
to
be
information
that
pli
would
be
able
to
gather,
not
sure
if
it's
like
something
like
a
qr
code
or
actual
information
on
the
window
and
a
number
for
the
individual
that
would
be
responsible
to
you
know
to
pick
up
the
phone.
O
If
there's
an
issue
and
I
think
responsible
owners,
you
know
from
my
understanding
they,
you
know
they're
already
controlling
their
property
in
that
in
that
manner
where
they
are
putting
cameras
and
sound
meters
and
and
they're
calling
the
residents
if
they
see
more
people
enter
the
property
than
than
than
they.
O
You
know
told
them
in
the
agreement
that
they
that
there
should
be,
or
if
the
sound
raises
up
to
a
certain
level,
they're
calling
the
the
person
who
signed
the
agreement,
but
I
also
did
confirm
you
know
my
understanding
is-
is
that
you
know
something.
I
got
confirmation
when
talking
to
public
safety.
Is
that
you
know
in
an
instance
that
the
the
in
an
instance
that
the
police
do
feel
that.
O
They
would
want
to
enter
the
property
or,
if
the
or,
if
the
owner
wants
them
to
enter
the
property,
that
via
phone
in
a
phone
conversation,
they
identify
themselves
as
a
property
owner
that
they
they're
they
will
be
allowed
to
enter
the
property.
O
So
I
mean
there
is
possibly
an
opportunity
here
to
you
know
to
increase
assurance
that
if
the
property
owner
does
feel
that
something
is
not
right,
that
they
can
give
authorization
so
a
path
for
that
to
happen.
If
that's,
if
that's
something
reasonable,
that
should
should
be
occurring.
Obviously
this
is,
you
know,
I
think
us
taking
the
first
step
here
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
regulation
and
looking
at
how
this
would
be
enforced
would
be
a
good
step
to
even
even
say
you
know
and
actually
start
to
control.
O
Any
of
this
information
I
mean
currently
we'd
have
to
go
online.
You
have
to
prove
whether
or
not
a
property
is
an
airbnb.
O
That's
what
you're
saying
so
we
don't
have
the
data,
I'm
sure
owners
and
and
airbnb
and
and
other
organizations
or
other
large
companies
that
that
offer
this
service,
I'm
sure
they
have
some
data,
but
we
need
to
start
gathering
that
as
well-
and
you
know
I
I'm
looking
to
was
talking
with
council
president
about
holding
the
bill
for
a
certain
length
of
time
and
and
we're
gonna
do
that.
O
O
Also
I'd
like
to
you
know,
you
know
to
the
owners
and
owners
that
want
to
be,
you
know,
responsible
and
and
be
constructive,
but
I
welcome
to
you
know,
talk
in
the
in
a
roundtable
manner,
so
we
can
try
to
understand
how
we
can
you
know
get
the
best.
You
know
put
the
best
bill
forward
and
and
make
sure
that
we're
actually
improving
and
we're
not
like
going
backwards.
Q
M
You
know
second
round
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much
and
permit
an
interrogatory.
Just
briefly,
is
it
my
understanding
that
philadelphia
does
actually
require
airbnb
to
be
a
single
owned
resident
right
is,
and
I
guess
my
question
may
be,
for
you.
A
I
believe
it's,
I
believe
my
I
think
my
understanding
is
because
this
is
what
I
think
is
my
belief
at
the
core
of
this.
Is
it
has
to
be
your
primary
residence
right?
That's
what
I
was
trying
to
say
you,
so
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
live
there
extensively,
but
it
has
to
be
your
primary
residence.
M
And
then
my
follow-up
question
is:
is:
is
philadelphia
permitted
to
do
that
because
of
their
their
first
city
class
and
we
are
not
permitted
because
we're
second
city
class?
I
don't
know
that,
but
I
think
that
would
certainly
help
to
solve
a
whole
hell
of
a
lot
of
problems
if
we
were
to
regulate
airbnb
as
your
primary
residence,
which
was
the
spirit
of
what
airbnb
intended
it
to
be
when
it
started
at
least.
P
O
Was
going
to
say,
I
did
promise
that
I'd
address
the
the
15
day.
That's
something
that
you
know
when
we
when
we
joined
together
for
the
for
the
joint
bill.
That
was
something
we
were
currently
working
out.
So
that's
just
you
know,
that's
something
we're
going
to
work
out.
I
believe
that's
just
a
marker
at
this
point.
A
Thank
you
with
that
out
to
councilman
cross's
point.
My
only
comment
is,
I
do
believe
if
you
actually
restrict
airbnbs
to
being
your
someone
who
owns
it.
A
D
C
D
A
In
a
duplex,
so
I
rented
out
the
second
floor
or
I
had
a
room
on
the
first
floor,
there
was
an
extra
bedroom,
so
I
would
rent
out
the
extra
bedroom,
or
even
some
people
may
have
like
a
little
extra
house
in
the
backyard
like
things
of
that
nature,
just
sort
of
where
it
became
additional
income
for
that
person
renting
out
additional
space
with
that.
C
C
I
have
many
airbnbs
and
I
can
tell
you
none
of
them,
I
feel
like
are
their
primary
residents
at
this
point
in
my
neighborhood.
So,
okay,
that's
all
thanks.
A
Okay,
is
there
a
motion
to
hold.
A
P
P
Here,
thank
you
so
much.
Yes,
yep!
Sorry
about
that!
Council
member
wilson
just
wanted
a
little
bit
of
detail
on
the
agreement,
with
the
grant
that
we
have
in
front
of
us.
R
R
Sure,
thank
you.

health
interventions,
co
and
alternative
response
and
stabilization
supports,
along
with
public
safety
and
other
departments
in
the
city.
R
R
That
grant
is
focused
on
addressing
the
causes
of
overdose
and
trying
to
prevent
overdose
and
other
harms
associated
with
substance
use.
We
are
one
of
a
number
of
recipients
of
this
funding
and
with
this
funding
we
are
partnering
with
organizations
in
the
in
the
city
to
work.
Pardon
me
directly
with
individuals
who
use
drugs
or
who
are
affected
by
substance
use
in
the
first
two
years
of
funding.
R
We
have
worked
with
the
foundation
of
hope
to
create
a
community-based
diversion
and
support
program.
This
legislation
is
looking
and
we've
pardoned
me.
We've
also
funded
positions
in
our
office,
which
is
an
overdose
prevention
coordinator,
a
diversion
project
manager
and
a
diversion
community
engagement
coordinator,
we're
working
on
the
implementation
of
a
program
called
leed
law
enforcement,
assisted
diversion
as
well
as
community-based
diversion
in
the
north
side.
R
O
Yeah,
I
remember
we
did
the
it
was
on
the
north
side
at
nova
place
we.
This
is
that
meeting
where
we
met
and
walked
through
the
neighborhood
and
and
discussed
how
this
lead
program
will
be
implemented
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Right.
O
Okay,
all
right
great,
and
then
you
mentioned
foundation.
I
hope
are
they
that
they
will
be
working
on
this
overdose
prevention.
R
So
that's
a
great
question:
it's
the
grant
is
inclusive
of
overdose
prevention,
but
not
limited
to
overdose
prevention.
So
it's
looking
at
the
social
determinants
of
health
and
the
ways
that
people,
through
their
intersections
with
the
criminal
legal
system
and
our
law
enforcement,
may
have
an
increased
risk
of
poor
outcomes
associated
with
substance
use.
So
this
legislation
allows
us
to
enter
into
our
contract
with
the
health
department.
There
will
be
separate
legislation
that
will
come
before
you
all
to
allow
us
to
enter
into
contracts
with
our
community
providers.
R
That
includes
foundation
of
hope,
and
that
would
be
to
you
know.
Their
work
is
principally
taking
community-based
referrals
for
individuals
who
have
had
complex
issues,
challenges
and
have
had
a
lack
of
resources,
and
their
team
has
been
doing
intensive
case
management
and
support
of
those
individuals
to
help
them
to
meet
their
goals.
O
So
the
so
recently
there
was
a
there
has
been.
You
know
here
in
philadelphia,
other
parts
of
the
the
nation,
this
increase
of
gun
violence.
O
R
R
Those
were
not
not
necessarily
fatal.
Those
were
overdoses
that.
D
R
Ems,
our
partners
in
the
bureau
of
ems
were
able
to
respond
to
opioid
related
only
so
that
1100
does
not
include
overdoses
related
to
other
substances
that
are
not
opioids,
and
if
there
was
a
death
investigation
where
there
was
no
definitive
cause.
R
Those
those
individuals
are
not
included
in
our
our
statistics,
so
that
1100
is
just
what
ems
responded
to
that.
Just
the
people
that
ems
responded
to
last
year,
I
would
venture
to
say
that
the
number
is
much
much
higher.
There
are
many
people
who
manage
those
overdoses
in
their
homes
or
with
par
other
people,
but
that
would
be
the
city's
response
and
of
course,
there
are
also
overdoses
happening
across
the
county.
O
Well
thanks:
I
just
want
to
take
that
moment
to
discuss
that
and
appreciate
all
the
work
that
the
city
is
doing
that
you're
doing.
You
know
like
to
see
programs
like
how
we
integrated
a
response
with
ems
to
provide
buprenorphine
to
people
so
appreciate
all
the
work,
and
it's
very
tragic
to
to
hear
that
number.
That's
all.
R
Thank
you
very
much
councilman
I
will.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
the
buprenorphine
program
and
the
overdose
under,
but
getting
a
better
understanding
of,
what's
happening
in
our
community.
I
you
know
we
are
thankful
to
council
for
the
support
on
that
front
to
the
mayor's
office,
but
also
to
the
allegheny
county
health
department,
for
their
support
of
these
programs,
and
this
contract
does
allow
us
to
continue
that
work.
O
R
Presently
we
will
do
a
continuation
of
the
contract
for
the
foundation
of
hope.
We
have
not
established
a
contract
for
the
other
partner.
I
think
that's,
you
know
a
discussion,
that's
ongoing,
but
we
have
in
our
our
in-depth
conversations
with
the
public
safety
director,
the
bureau
of
police
and
the
administration
recognized
that
we
do
need
to
build
kind
of
the
core
infrastructure
for
these
programs
and
then
work
to
build
out
the
community
partners
that
are
part
of
the
long-term
supports
and
the
natural
supports
for
people.
Q
So
I'm
going
to
be
honest,
I
feel
so
frustrated
with
our
services
that
in
all
the
funding
that
we're
spending
on
social
services,
all
the
funding,
we're
spending
on
employment,
training,
anti-violence,
hospitality,
all
kinds
of
money
that
we're
spending
for
outcomes
that
our
residents
aren't
seeing-
and
I
think
part
of
it-
is
that
we
empower
and
work
with
organizations
that
promise
and
say
that
they
can
deliver
things
and
have
absolutely
no
capacity
to
deliver.
Q
We
would
do
anything
we
could
if
it
worked,
but
when
we
keep
seeing
all
this
money
going
out
the
door
and
all
these
ordinary
and
the
only
one
that
seems
to
be
benefiting
are
organizations
who
feel
like
they're
not
benefiting
from
anything
because
they
feel
like
it's
never
enough,
and
so
I
think
it's
incumbent
upon
us
as
we're
watching
these
dollars
and
and
seeing
our
city
struggling
through
horrific
acts
of
violence.
Q
A
lot
of
overdoses,
homelessness,
problems
in
the
communities,
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
make
sure
every
dime
is
going
where
it
should
be
going,
and
it's
actually
going
in
a
place
where
it's
actually
going
to
affect
change.
So
I'm
going
to
just
say:
I'm
going
to
really
watch
where
these
dollars
are
going,
and
I
don't
know
if
you've
had
any
conversation
with
the
o'neill
club
but
they're
in
an
area
that
they've
been
around
for
a
long
time
and
I've
never
seen.
Q
I
don't
see
them
getting
anything
from
the
city
and
they
do
have
some
successes.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
just
going
to
really
pay
attention
to
what
we're
doing
with
these
dollars.
Our
residents
want
outcomes,
they
deserve
outcomes
and
we
want
to
see
that
every
time
we're
spending
is
is
really
helping
people.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Welcome,
laura.
You
know.
I
just
really
want
to
start
by
saying
what
a
tremendous
asset
you
have
been
to
me.
You
know,
since
I've
taken
office,
I
really
didn't
grasp
the
you
know
the
severity
of
the
overdoses
in
my
district.
Until
you
know
we
we
sat
down
and
talked,
and
you
threw
out
those
numbers
1100
on
an
average
monthly
overdoses.
C
R
Councilmember
coghill,
thank
you
so
much
and
you
know
it's
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
all.
I
think
the
thing
that
we've
you
know
been
struggling
with
is
that
the
overdoses
that
we've
observed
locally-
and
I
think
this
this
bears
out
nationally-
the
the
number
of
people
experiencing
overdoses
began
to
increase
prior
to
the
pandemic.
R
We
started
to
see
that
increase
occurring
in
the
last
quarter
of
2019,
which
makes
it
difficult
to
identify
what
the
factors
are.
Those
those
overdoses
as
we
see
them
continue
to
remain
high
month
over
month.
There's
some
fluctuation,
but
they
continue
to
remain
high
and
I
think
we
can
point
to
social
isolation,
just
I
think
very,
very
dire
situations
across
our
city
and
across
our
country
that
are
exacerbating
people's
substance
use.
R
But
things
like
access
to
mental
health
care
is
really
really
critical
and,
and
unfortunately
you
know,
we
can
look
and
realize
there
are
certain
populations
that
it's
been
very
stigmatized
to
receive,
that
care,
even
non-traditional
care
they're,
not
always
culturally
bilingual
or
culturally
aligning
resources
for
people
in
our
community.
So
I
I
know
there
are
a
number
of
partners
working
on
this,
but
it's
it's.
R
You
know
it's
not
enough
and
that
substances
can
be
a
very
effective
way
for
people
to
cope
and
the
fact
that
the
supply
of
substances
is
extremely
unpredictable
and
very
potent
means
that
someone
does
not
expect
to
be
putting
themselves
into
a
situation
where
they
could
die
and-
and
they
are-
and
there
have
even
been
limited
situations
where
we've
seen.
Contamination
or
mixtures
of
substances
that
were
unexpected,
like
opioids,
in
in
cocaine
and
and
and
those
tragedies
are
even
more
difficult
to
prevent,
because
we're
not.
R
We
haven't
been
working
with
those
individuals
on
an
ongoing
basis
to
try
to
reduce
the
risk
of
their
use
and
they
try
to
help
them
to
access
support.
So
I
think
we're
we're
optimistic,
there's
a
strong
opportunities
that
we
have
from
the
health
department
as
council
president
kale
smith
said
you
know
we
want
to
keep
being
good
partners,
but
also
holding
our
provider
community
accountable
for
the
commitments
they
make
and
recognizing
that
they're
the
ones
doing
the
direct
service.
So
that
is
really
hard.
R
It's
easier
to
allocate
the
money
than
it
is
to
do
the
work,
and
I
know
council
president
kale
smith,
you've
done
the
work,
so
I
think
that's
that's.
A
critical
thing
is
to
keep
looking
for
those
partners
and
and
building
out
that
network,
but
we
do,
I
think,
as
a
city
recognize
that
we
need
to
create
the
infrastructure
for
those
partners
to
plug
in
right.
Now,
it's
it's
difficult,
because
you
know
it's.
We
have
multiple
bureaus
in
public
safety,
respond
to
different
types
of
crises.
R
We
don't
necessarily
have
a
point
person
in
each
of
those
bureaus
that
works
to
collaborate
or
coordinate
resources.
So
that's
what
our
our
office
is
hoping
to
do
with
the
building
of
infrastructure
through
the
roots
program,
and
then
you
know
with
the
continued
relationship
building
with
the
community
partners
where
we're
providing
them
with
adequate
support
to
do
what
we're
asking,
because
I
think
our
expectations
have
to
align
as
council
president
kale
smith
said.
Our
expectations
also
have
to
align
with
what
we're
providing
and
what
the
resources
are
on.
The
community.
C
Thank
you
laura,
and
you
know
one
of
the
grantees
would
would
one
of
the
grantees
be
dan
palko's
organization.
R
Yeah,
that
is,
you,
know,
that's
under
discussion,
but
that's
that
is
the
goal
and
based
on
what
our
work,
our
collaborative
work
with
public
safety
and
the
mayor's
office.
We
do
want
to
have
that
single
part
of
infrastructure
that
we
build
out
almost
as
a
fourth
bureau
and
then
from
there.
It
allows
us
to
have
much
more
collaborative
relationships
with
the
with
the
partners
who
are
are
also
in
the
community.
Doing
the
work.
C
Yeah,
because,
as
councilwoman
or
council
president
kill
smith
said,
I
too
have
concerns
as
to
you
know
who
who
we
distribute
the
grant
money
to
and
when
we
find
one
like
mr
palko's
organization
that
I
feel
was
really
effective.
I
feel
you
know
so
good
about
funding
that
specific
organization
and,
again
you
know
laura.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
you
do.
C
You
know
I
know
you're
tireless
at
it,
and
you've
made
a
big
impact
in
my
district
since
since
I've
been
there
just
in
information
and
being
on
the
ground
with
me-
and
you
know,
recognizing
the
problems
and
where
they're
at
so
so
keep
up
the
good
work
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
hopefully
these
numbers
will
decline
in
the
future.
S
All
right,
thank
you.
I
began
to
talk
yesterday
a
little
bit
about
sort
of
my
work
and
my
view
of
sort
of
violence
in
general
and
gun
violence
specifically,
and
so
I
will
try
to
say
it
in
more
clear
terms
as
councilman
lavelle
and
I
have
worked
together,
we
kind
of
agree
and
with
laura
you
can
call
it
many
things
all
out
just
for
mnemonic
purposes.
I
call
it
a
star
approach
right.
S
There
are
these
five
things
that
we
have
to
do
in
a
comprehensive,
coordinated
way.
If
we're
going
to
really
address
this
problem,
there
are
five
things
that
have
to
be
managed.
One
of
them
is
the
overall
coordination
right,
so
the
city
is
coordinating
in
a
comprehensive
way.
All
of
our
efforts,
that's
one
of
the
points
of
the
star
to
the
left-hand
side.
S
You
have
community
services
similar
to
the
outreach
workers
and
the
community-based
things
that
have
to
occur
in
order
for
crime
and
violence,
to
stop
on
the
right
hand,
side
you
have
social
services,
that's
what
laura
is
talking
about
and
all
of
the
counseling
and
therapeutic
and
trauma
informed
therapy
and
all
of
the
wrap-around
services
that
are
needed
for
for
for
young
people
and
for
young
adults,
and
so
you
have
community-based
services,
including
school
programming
and
all
that
stuff.
S
On
the
left-hand
side,
you
have
the
you
know,
sort
of
strong
social
service,
things
that
need
to
be
done,
and
then
you
have
policing
right.
You
have
to
have
the
right
type
of
policing.
Policing
by
itself
will
never
solve
crime.
It
never
will
right.
We
tried
that
already,
we've
done
the
lock
em
up
and
put
them
in
prison.
They
simply
came
back
later.
S
You
know
five
ten
years
as
better
criminals,
so
we
know
that
hot
spot
policing
works,
you
know
that
works
and
and-
and
we
also
know
a
police
that
is
that
is
trustworthy
and
or
are
build
community
trust.
You
know
and
are
not
biased
all
that
works,
and
then
there
is
community
development
redevelopment
because
the
truth
of
it
is
and-
and
I
I
read
this
somewhere-
it
was
the
best
example.
S
I've
ever
had
rip
if
you
were,
if
the
city
was
in
a
snow
globe,
you
know
a
snow
globe
if
you
were
able
to
turn
it
upside
down
and
shake
it
around,
so
that
the
whole
city
got
mixed
and
turned
upside
down.
Violence
would
stop
overnight
right
because
mostly
violence
is
in
mostly
disproportionately
in
segregated
poor
communities.
So
if
poverty
was
switched
so
there
wasn't
any
concentrate,
it
was
everywhere
in
the
city.
S
You
probably
because
the
reports
say
that
when
poor
people
are
around
not
support
people,
their
behavior
changes,
but
when
you
put
them
all
together,
you
have
crazy
stuff
happening
right
and
our
segregation
is
part
of
our
problem.
So
so,
if
we
put
10
billion
dollars
into
the
black
community
and
rebuild
them
overnight,
they
would
probably
stop
shooting
each
other,
but
we're
not
going.
You
know.
We
can't
we'll
have
the
resources
to
do
that.
S
So
those
five
things,
those
that
star
those
five
things:
there's
the
overall
public
health
coordination,
left-hand
side,
community
services,
right-hand
side,
social
services,
left-hand
side
down
police
right-hand,
side,
community
development,
but
that's
the
that's.
What
has
to
be
coordinated
over
the
over
in
and
I
will
advocate
for
that
process.
S
That's
the
model
that
has
to
be
done
every
year
year
in
year
out
over
multiple
decades,
coordinated
to
to
stop
violence
and
violence
and
violence
reduction,
and
so
this
is
part
of
that
medical,
medical,
the
social
services,
the
the
the
the
drug,
the
drug
rehab
right.
The
drug
prevention
of
od
of
overdoses
is
part
of
that
process.
S
And
so
again-
and
I
agree
with
councilwoman
smith-
we
need
to
make
sure
that
every
dime
we
spent
is
accounted
for
and
we
put
the
same
kind
of
kind
of
demands
of
accountability,
whether
that
money
is
in
community-based
services
or
social
services
or
policing
or
in
community
development.
S
All
of
those
dollars
have
to
be
accounted
for
that
we're
using
the
best
and
smartest
approach
in
a
comprehensive,
coordinated
manner
to
address
violence
in
general
and
gun
violence
specifically,
and
I
I
think
we
can
and
that's
sort
of
what
I've
been
advocating
for
both
publicly
and
privately,
mostly
and
now
publicly.
That's
the
approach
that
I
think
we
should
be
doing.
That
is
really
that's.
What
a
public
health
approach
looks
like.
Q
Yeah,
I
just
I
just
real
quickly,
I'm
just
going
to
say
again
the
thing
that
I
think
we
can
should
be
asking
and
working
with
is
not
only
what
who's
getting
the
funding
and
what
we're
doing-
and
I
do
want
to
thank
laura
she's,
been
very
helpful
to
all
of
us.
I
think
in
different
competitive,
different
ways,
but
I
think
we
should
be
asking
what
counties
doing
with
their
billion
dollars
that
they
get
for
social
services.
What
are
they
doing
for
us
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh?
Q
When
was
the
last
time
they
did
a
needs
assessment.
Are
they
delivering
the
types
of
services
that
our
residents
need?
Are
they
just
doing
what
they've
done
for
30
40
years
and
just
continuing
to
do
it
and
think?
That's
what
we
need.
I
think
I
mean
we
need
to
evaluate
what
is
needed
in
the
city
and
make
sure
that
the
county
services
are
matching
up
to
the
needs
of
the
city.
That's
it.
Thank.
E
M
A
second
brief
discussion,
please
question
councilman
gross.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
members.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
through
this
this
long
and
arduous
process.
Before
you
today,
you
have
an
amendment
by
substitution,
which
was
submitted
to
council
by
the
planning
commission,
along
with
the
legislation
to
amend
by
substitution.
M
There
is
the
le
the
correspondence
of
from
the
planning
commission
that
came
to
us
as
to
why
these
changes
are
made
and
recommended,
and
why
the
legislation's
been
crafted
this
way.
I
believe
this
is
that
right.
Madam
clerk,
these
are
not
all
members
got
these.
These
are
the
text
files
that
were
attached
as
to
the
explanation.
M
We
did
not
want
to
burn
all
members
with
this,
but
there
are
copies
hard,
copies
and
digital
copies
that
you
got
and
a
hard
copy
that
exists
in
the
clerk's
office
if
you
wish
to
delve
in
deeper
to
the
text
files,
but
with
that,
I
will
offer
up
a
motion
to
amend
bill
1906
with
substitution.
S
M
O
O
It
but
it's
it's
the
explanation.
M
Is
this
that's
attached
to
it,
yeah
that
the
planning
commission
sent
over
as
to
why
they
are
approving
it
for
our
consideration
and
the
recommendation
recommended
changes
they
want
to
see
in
the
ordinance,
which
is
really
it's
really
quite
small,
but
the
path
to
get
us.
There
is
quite
substantive.
O
Let
me
understand
one
point,
though,
is
this
all
the
the
conditions
is
that.
M
O
M
O
M
No,
we
have
not.
There
is
one
that
may
come
for
further
consideration
in
our
process
there.
The
recommendation
here
does
limit
the
length
of
the
building
that
the
grocer
would
be
housed
in.
There
has
been
some
discussion
that
a
a
slight
extension
to
that
grocer
would
permit
all
of
the
trucking
deliveries
to
take
place
inside
the
building,
which
is
really
a
positive
to
not
have
that
all
taken
outside
the
building,
but
that
comes
through
our
process,
which
will
be
weeks
in
the
making.
Okay.
O
So
there
were
this
bill
when
it
came
to
the
table.
Last
time
there
were
several
groups
that
came
in
support
of
this
or
I'm
sorry,
and
not
not
supportive
of
the
current
way
that
it
was.
It
was
done.
O
M
When,
while
work
to
schedule
with
the
council
president,
we
have
at
least
one
day,
we
need
a
21
day
notification
process.
First,
before
we
can
schedule
you're.
D
A
M
M
This
is
the
this
is
the
bill.
It
was
actually
crafted
by
planning
commission
submitted
to
us,
including
their
it's,
to
create
the
district.
That's
all
it's
doing
is
creating
the
district,
that's
it
believe
it
or
not.
After
all
of
that,
this
is
it.
I
know
it
seems
like
it
should
be
more,
but
this
is
the
foundation
yeah
yeah
yeah.
L
256
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
of
the
department
of
premise
licenses
and
inspections
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
rj
lee
group
for
professional
services,
providing
materials
for
an
analysis
of
dust
of
lead
dust
samples
retaining
the
p
allies.
Execution
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
led
safe
ordinance
for
a
psalm
not
to
exceed
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
O
Want
to
highlight
this,
this
is
one
of
many
steps
that
the
department
of
permits
license
and
inspections
are
taking
and
some
that
we
all
have
council
worked
with
to
you
know
not
only
fund
inspectors
for
to
you
know,
enforce
the
the
lead
ordinance,
but
also
every
all,
the
different
certifications
that
will
be
required
from
the
inspectors
different.
You
know
changes
to
the
software,
and
this
is
one
of
the
several
changes
that
are
being
made,
or
you
know.
O
Actually,
this
is
an
agreement
that
we're
entering
into
allowing
our
mayor
to
enter
into
agreement
with
a
lab
to
test
for
the
lead,
so
just
want
to
thank
pli
for
following
through
on
everything
that
we've
we've
we've
spoken
about.
L
Resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
of
parks
and
recreation
to
enter
on
behalf
of
the
city
into
a
grant
agreement
with
chester
county
intermediate
unit
with
the
purpose
of
receiving
funds
in
the
amount
of
eighty
thousand
dollars
that
will
be
used
to
purchase
technology
and
other
materials
needed
for
the
facilitation
of
computer
science.
Learning
experiences
for
children
attending
educational
programs
at
select
city
of
pittsburgh,
recreation,
centers.
Q
Just
think
it's
amazing
I
I
did
a
program
with
cmu
mrs
bailey,
and
I
did
a
program
with
cmu.
We
trained
our
pittsburgh
police.
They
students,
grad
students
at
cmu,
trained
our
pittsburgh
police
in
coding,
the
police
trained
our
kids
in
coding
and
for
us
to
get
computers.
Pittsburgh
public
schools
couldn't
pay
for
them,
but
south
fayette
school
district
did.
I
just
think
it's
amazing
that
we're
helping
our
kids
locally
and
they
wonder
why
the
partnership
it
should
be.
Q
I
would
think
that,
in
some
cases,
the
pittsburgh
public
schools
was
contributing
somewhat
to
the
to
the
computers
or
to
the
technology
and
because
it's
benefiting
our
kids,
but
I
would
like
to
see-
maybe
even
carnegie
mellon
do
do
a
little
bit
more
in
this
area
too,
with
the
donation
of
computers
or
technology.
O

Pa.Gov
is
there
anything
from
members?
Madam
president,.
Q
You
knew
I
had
to
say
something
I
just
want
to
say:
happy
birthday
to
councilman
krause,
belated,
happy
birthday
to
councilman
krause
and
to
councilwoman
strasberger,
who
was
yesterday
right
or
day
before
open
source,
yeah
they're
getting
old.
I'm
glad,
I'm
glad,
I'm
I'm
glad
rev
and
I
are
staying
young.
C
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
congratulate
our.
Madam
president,
I
was,
I
was
honored
to
be
at
a
dinner
honoring
her
as
one
of
the
top
most
100
powerful.
I
believe
people
they
meant
pitiful.
They
said
powerful
in
her
self-deprecating
ways
that
she
said
that
too
to
the
crowd,
but
she
was
only
one
of
three
or
four
speakers
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
thought
it
was
very
well
deserved,
even
though
I
know
you're
humble
about
it,
but
you
know
I
thought
it
was
well
deserved.
