A
B
B
Here,
thank
you.
Our
next
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
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
may
be
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
after
you
are
called
please
restate
your
name
and
neighborhood
for
the
record.
Our
first
registered
speaker
is
dr
ronald
miller.
C
Dr
ronaldon
miller,
belle
silver
and
I
have
a
residence
in
shanghai,
john
warren,
global
intelligence,
society,
u.s
national
candidate.
For
the
presidency,
we
fuse
disciplinary
intelligences
and
information
templates
from
21
primary
disciplines.
There
are
many
many
other
disciplines,
but
to
solve
problems,
to
offer
solutions
here
in
pittsburgh
and
across
the
united
states
and
to
some
degree
as
well
across
the
world.
C
Here
are
a
few
references
there
have
been
very
important
to
us.
One
of
them
is:
is
the
book
called
an
optimal
learning
by
wp
w
b
powell,
one
that
may
be
a
little
more
amusing
but
very
interesting
to
me
as
a
trumpet
player
satchmo
blows
up
the
world
yeah?
He
really
did
then
there's
this
ukrainian
musician
constantine
clash
tourney,
who
is
responsible
for
10
years
worth
of
cool
and
clean.
This
is
a
marvelous,
in
my
view,
connective
tissue
between
electronics
and
and
jazz.
C
C
Now
this
council
wants
to
ban
profanity
with
no
rule
of
counsel
that
has
to
do
with
profanity
directly,
there's
no
rule
okay.
So
what
if
there
were
what,
if
there
were,
was
no
parking
violation
code?
How
could
an
officer
enforce
a
parking
violation
without
any
code?
How
can
you
enforce
a
profanity
rule
without
any
rule?
C
Second,
this
council
wants
to
ban
profanity
with
no
definition
of
profanity.
Just
imagine
the
city
code
having
no
definition
of
a
parking
violation.
It
is
completely
absurd.
Third
council
wants
to
ban
profanity
with
no
profanities
list.
C
Just
imagine
what
would
happen
to
our
people
in
the
street,
who
are
confronted
with
a
police
officer
trying
to
enforce
a
non-existent
parking
violation
code
without
a
definition,
and
without
a
list
I
mean
it
could
be
anything
which
is
the
case
with
the
words
which
are
not
defined,
which
are
not
identified
as
profane
speech.
I
invite
this
council
to
do
better
on
this.
C
D
D
D
It
was
written.
It
came
from
the
pittsburgh
veteran
firefighters
association
and
the
author
of
it
was
battalion
chief
douglas
kraskovic
retired
deputy
chief
mike
mullen
tucked
the
lives
of
many
people.
His
uncompromising
dedication
to
his
sworn
duty
to
provide
for
the
safety
of
the
citizens
of
pittsburgh
was
truly
exceptional
and
one
that
should
be
emulated
by
every
firefighter.
D
D
Mike
was
a
loving
and
compassionate
husband,
father
brother,
relative
and
friends,
and
I
would
add,
neighbor
michael
j
mullen
lived
a
full
life
as
his
obituary,
so
accurately,
thrived
mike
was
passionate
tireless
dedicated,
highly
conscientious
and
caring
well
done
michael
well
done
rest
in
peace.
My
friend
we,
the
people
of
bonaire,
have
maintained
our
properties
and
participated
in
many
functions
here.
D
B
E
To
apologize
to
bruce
kraus,
partly
for
the
last
time
I
was
down
here,
blew
my
top,
but
we
found
out
both
of
us
found
out
how
what
I
suppose
I
stand
for,
but
we
worked
together
on
the
bayley
avenue
project.
E
I
thank
you
very
much
bruce
for
what
you've
done
for
when
you
came
up
to
the
meeting.
That
was
very
nice
of
you
to
support
the
problems
up
in
mount
washington
number
two,
I'm
here
and
I'd
like
to
apologize
partly
to
corey
o'connor's.
E
I
know
he's
in
favor
of
the
gun,
control
and
every
time
I
hear
this
killing
that
these
killing
these
children
in
these
schools
and
that
I
get
furious
and
I
call
his
office,
which
I
shouldn't
be
calling
it
I'm
sorry
I
should
I
called
the
congress,
people
and
they're
not
doing
nothing
but
sitting
there,
all
them
the
senators
and
congress
people
are
just
sitting
there
on
their
asses.
I'm
sorry
about
that,
but
it's
disgraceful
to
see
these
little
kids
getting
killed,
and
it's
not
right
and
I'd
like
to
see
something
done.
E
You
know
something's
got
to
be
done
about
this.
This
is
out
it's
out
of
control
and
number
three.
Mr
coghill,
again
I
need
to
talk
to
you
again
about
warrenton
avenue
and
boggs.
We
got
to
get
that
cleaned
up
and
put
the
trash.
Can
there
again,
as
I
said,
people
ain't
gonna
dump
the
trash?
If
there's
no
trash,
can
some
people
pick
it
up
and
drop
it
in
there
and
some
people?
Don't
you
know?
So
if
there's
a
trash,
can
we
can
maybe
lighten
up
the
garbage
lane
on
the
street?
E
So,
as
I
say,
if
you
can
get
to
that-
and
I
will
be
talking
to
you
about
in
the
future
about
greenview
park
about
public
works
when
mike
gable
was
control
of
the
thing
well,
first,
when
rob
kazrowski
was
in
trouble
when
we
were
up
there,
he
permitted
us
to
put
cameras
up
in
granville
park.
So
did
the
councilman
three
councilmen
did
agreed
about
that?
E
We
did
that
and
then,
when
mike
gable
came
in,
he
went
into
the
building
and
somebody
went
into
the
building.
Somebody
went
into
the
building
and
disconnected
the
cameras,
and
I
don't
understand
that
we
were
catching
people
doing
graffiti
up
in
there.
Now
we
can't
catch
them
because
the
cameras
are
disconnected.
I
don't
understand
that
that
doesn't
make
sense.
You
want
to
catch
these
kids,
you
catch
them
and
you
punish
them.
You
don't
do
that.
E
It's
just
going
to
cost
the
taxpayers
more
money
to
keep
on
paying
these
buildings
and
doing
that
stuff,
and
I
don't
want
to
be
painting
that
building.
I
was
doing
it
for
years
and
I'm
tired
of
it
now.
I
think
it's
time
that
we
catch
these
kids
and
you
got
to
punish
them.
They
just
did
a
sign.
I
think
the
sign
cost
a
thousand
dollars
up
here
of
the
map.
Someone
went
up
there
and
graffitied
the
whole
sign.
That
was
just
a
waste
of
money.
You
know
and
you
cannot
keep
on
improving
the
neighborhood.
E
If
you've
got
these
people
out
there
vandalizing
the
paper.
Why
do
you
do?
Then?
Why
do
you
improve
it?
It's
just
going
to
be
vandalized,
so
we
want
to
stop
the
vandalism,
so
we've
got
to
start
doing
stuff.
So
I
want
to
I'm
going
to
get
some
money
together
and
try
to
get
the
cameras
fixed
and
hooked
them
back
up
in
the
grandview
parking.
So
we
can
catch
these
kids
and
make
the
park
nice
look.
It
is
beautiful
if
you
ever
been
up
here,
you'll
see
it.
F
I
I
know
this
is
highly
irregular.
Please,
if
you
just
please
permit
tom,
you
never
have
to
apologize
ever
for
being
a
strong
advocate
for
your
community.
You
and
I
have
had
a
great
partnership
over
the
years,
and
I
treasure
the
the
the
passion
you
bring
to
defending
your
community
and
you
never
have
to
apologize
ever
for
for
being
a
strong
advocate
for
your
community.
G
Believe
I
can
okay,
he
says
I
can.
I
will.
My
name
is
yvonne
f
brown.
I
live
in
the
hill
district
at
7
15,
I'm
sorry
mercer
street.
I
came
down
today
because
yesterday,
when
I
heard
the
lawyer
state
that
they're
gonna
change
the
rules
and
that
you
cannot
say
anything,
that's
insulting.
Well,
you
know
what,
when
I
walk
in
the
room,
you're
insulted.
So
when
I
open
my
mouth
automatically
now
who's
going
to
make
the
decision
what's
insulting,
I
think
it's
insulting.
G
Whenever
we
come
here
and
we're
sitting
in
here,
bruce
krauss.
Let
me
speak.
First
speaks
a
whole
half
an
hour
as
soon
as
the
camera
goes
off.
He
runs
back
in
that
room
stays
at
half
an
hour
comes
back,
sits
with
miss
gross
and
gets
the
talking
in
her
face.
Then
you
have
mr
wilson,
which
I
thought
it
was
pretty
good.
He
also
then
went
back
in
the
room,
come
back
and
sit
there
with
miss
bros.
G
G
This
is
in
july
2017.
dr
ron
mill,
miller
center
of
global
studies.
Harold
brown,
my
husband
brownie,
has
stated
before
that
ron
is
saying
what
ron
is
saying
is
making
sense.
We
must
be
able
to
track
the
votes
paper
ballots.
Finally,
the
leg
league
of
women
voters
also
realize
that
we
need
more
transparency
and
regular
periodic
review
of
the
voting
rules
and
new
machines
are
needed
before
the
next
president
is
elected.
That's
one
thing
I
wrote,
then
I
want
you
to
look
2010.
G
To
february
2010,
what
had
happened
is
that
I
les
ludwig
had
spoke
before
me.
Well,
my
husband
ain't
too
pleased
about
watching
city
council.
So
just
as
city
council
has
come
on,
he
turned
and
I
said
oh
come
on
brownie
city
council.
He
said
less
already
spoke
before
you
when
we
turned
it
on.
I
was
speaking
here
cut.
That's
that
we
got
here's
the
paper
even
less
came
down
and
said:
why
did
you
cut
me
off
because
he
was
talking
about
getting
rid
of
rising
salt
are
mere
then
also.
G
I
want
you
just
to
understand.
I
catch
h-e-l-l,
I
didn't
say
it.
I
didn't
say
a
bad
word.
I
spelled
it.
I
said
I
can't
down
here
when
I
come
down
here
because
of
the
attitude
that
I
got
from
this
good
reverend.
Good
reverend
says
my
baby.
My
grandbaby
can't
speak
down
here,
but
she
can
bring
her
baby.
You
must
understand.
How
can
she
bring
her
baby
to
do
city
business
with
her
on
the
lap
on
the
lap
and
that
lawyer
that
you
got
for
the
city
that
you
got
for
years?
G
B
H
B
A
second
second
in
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
aye,
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation.
We
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
invoices
submit.
Second,
any
discussion,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
invoices
are
approved.
Next,
we
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
p-card.
No
excuse
me,
we
don't
have
inter-apartment
transfers.
We
do
not
have
p-cards.
That
will
take
us
to
our
public
safety
services
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
councilman
o'connor.
We
have
wonderful
paper
bill,
32.
I
F
Mr,
mr
chair,
will
you
permit
interrogatory?
Yes,
thank
you
councilman
burgess.
Are
you
with
us
this
morning?
Yes,
I'm
here
hey
good
morning,
councilman,
I
I
know
you
have
been
working
with
the
bureau.
I
know
there
were
some
tweaks
to
the
legislation
you
wish
to
see
are.
Are
you
comfortable
moving?
I
am
comfortable
moving
this
ahead
today,
but
I
certainly
would
take
would
defer
to
your
leadership
on
it
if
you
feel
more
time
is
needed,
but
I
I
stand
ready.
J
So
we've
already
reached
an
agreement
as
to
what
tweaks
need
to
be
done.
They
were
supposed
to
send
me
because
of
the
turnover
in
public
safety,
though,
but
we'd
already
met.
We've
already
decided
what
it's
going
to
be.
I
can
do
it
either
way.
I
can
get
it
and
get
it
ready
for
tuesday
or
and
hold
a
week
or
we
can
pass
it
today
and
I'll.
J
F
If
you,
if
you
would
be
supportive,
I
would,
in
light
of
in
light
of
everything
that
that
is
happening
today,
as
it
relates
to
public
safety
and
policing,
and
I
I
really
would
like
to
move
it
today,
but
I
I
will
default
to
your
your
your
leadership
on
it,
but
I
I
could
call
for
the
vote
today
and
amend
on
tuesday
if
we're
not
comfortable
with
the
the
amendment.
F
If
members
are
not
comfortable
with
the
amendment
to
it,
we
could
certainly
recommit,
but
I
I
will
defer
to
you
on
this,
but
I
can
I
can
go
for
today.
J
So
we
met,
I
think
it
was
three
weeks
ago.
Two
weeks
ago
I
met
with
the
department
of
public
safety.
They
told
me
they
and
the
police
told
me
there's
a
just,
I
think,
a
sentence
that
they
want
in
and
that
they
were
going
to
send
me.
I
asked
them
to
send
me
the
language
and
either
I
missed
it
or,
but
I
I
can.
We've
already
decided
what
it's
going
to
be.
So
it's
not
a
question
of
working
with
them
anymore.
J
We
already
met,
we
already
decided
and
agreed
on
what
how
we
were
going
to
amend.
C
J
So
I
can,
I
can
get
the
language
and
do
it
by
tuesday
easy.
K
Well,
I'm
going
to
abstain
today,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
the
more
we're
talking
about
doing
doing
things
anything
in
terms
of
policing.
One
of
the
things
we
have
scheduled
is
a
meeting
with
some
of
the
shooters
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
with
council
members
in
the
mayor's
office
and
some
others.
I
would
be
nice
to
hear
what
the
kids
actually
think
that
was
needed.
Instead
of
what
activists
say
is
needed
or
what
would
police
say
is
needed
or
what
other
groups
say
is
needed.
K
It'd
be
nice
to
hear
what
the
actual
people
affected
are
saying
that
they
need.
It
would
just
be
nice
to
hear
some
of
that.
So
I
hope
that
we
as
we
work
with
some
of
the
kids
in
the
community.
We
actually
hear
what
their
concerns
really
are,
because
it
may
be
something
that
they
may
want
you
to
do.
I
don't
know
so
for
me
I'll
abstain.
Today,.
F
Cross:
okay
thanks
mr
chair.
So
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd
and
the
the
national
conversation,
the
international
conversation
around
how
to
reimagine,
not
policing
but
protecting
and
serving.
We
spent
shy
in
just
about
20
weeks,
every
monday
morning,
meeting
with
black
leadership,
black
american
leadership
throughout
hilltop
neighborhoods
and
invited
just
about
every
special
guest
we
could
possibly
think
of
for
their
their
input
into
how.
How
do
we
reform
policing
into
a
model
of
protecting
and
serving
and
the.
F
Request
that
we
got
week
after
week
after
week
after
week
was
to
focus
on
traffic
stops
and
the
impact
the
traffic
stops
have
on
this.
This
interpretation
that
certain
neighborhoods
are
policed
rather
than
protected
and
served,
and
I
heard
it
loud
and
clear-
and
not
just
once
again
and
again
and
again
and
again,
and
so
it's
why
I
asked
the
councilman
to
to
sign
on
to
this
bill
and
be
a
co-sponsor
with
him.
It
wasn't
made
in
a
rash
decision
by
any
means.
F
B
Thank
you,
president
smith.
Yeah.
K
I
just
I,
and
I
also
voted
for
the
traffic
stops
councilman,
but
this
is
the
pedestrian
stops
and
we
do
have
a
meeting
coming
up
with
the
most
at-risk
youth
in
the
city,
and
I
do
and
again
I
value
that
you
meet
with
some
of
the
most
amazing
people
in
the
hilltop,
and
I
know
some
of
them,
but
they're
again,
they're
adults
and
I
don't
know
how
much
they're
affected
by
some
of
this.
K
I
think
everybody's
a
little
bit
affected,
but
right
now
I
think
our
youth
are
affected
in
such
a
tremendous
way
and
they
really
do
want
to
have
a
voice,
and
I
think
let
them
have
a
voice.
Let
us
sit
down
and
talk
with
them
and
figure
out
how
we
can
help
them.
If
this
is
part
of
it,
then
we'll
be
I'll,
be
supportive.
If
it's
not,
then
I
want
to
know
that
I
want
to
know
what
they
think
is
the
answer,
and
this
may
be.
I
don't
know.

Bill
190
resolution
providing
for
the
designation
as
as
a
historic
building
under
title
11
of
the
code
of
ordinances,
the
certain
site
known
as
the
tito
house,
located
in
1817
fifth
avenue
in
1818
coldwell
street
in
uptown
in
the
third
ward
of
the
city.
The
owners
of
the
property
are
opposed
to
the
nomination.
K
B
Although
all
right
so
can,
can
you
with
the
first?
I
can
explain
I'd
like
to
defer
to
the
chair.
Thank
you
so
for
everyone,
this
is
a
bill
that
I've
been
holding
intentionally
for
some
time
now.
The
the
community
has
proposed
this
as
a
historic
property.
B
However,
there's
us
the
owners
of
it
are
opposed
to
it
and
there's
also
a
potential
development
that
is
attached
to
this
site.
The
lawyers
for
both
the
community
group
and
the
potential
developers
and
the
family
who
owns
it
have
been
in
negotiations
and
they've,
been
trying
to
work
through,
essentially
a
settlement
agreement
where
a
portion
of
it
will
be
preserved
as
historic
and
a
portion
of
it
would
not
be,
but
they're
they've
been
going
back
and
forth
over
the
last
few
weeks
trying
to
reach
an
agreement.
B
However,
according
to
our
city
clock,
we
must,
as
a
body
must
vote
this
by
june
6,
meaning
our
final
vote
means
it
needs
to
take
place
by
next
week,
otherwise,
it'll
be
deemed
disapproved
because
it
came
over
from
the
plant
from
the
historic
review.
Commission
did
not
approve
this
being
historic.
The
planning
commission
did
so.
If
we
do
not
act,
it'll
be
deemed
disapproved,
I
believe
the
body
needs
to
act,
one
way
or
the
other
right,
and
so
I
believe
we
do
need
to
vote
it
with.
B
That
being
said,
I
have
spoken
to
our
law
department.
What
they
have
also
said
is,
if
we
take
a
preliminary
vote
today,
if
the
two
parties
are
still
trying
to
work
through
this
agreement
and
do
not
have
resolution
by
tuesday,
the
nominator
can
send
a
letter
to
council
asking
to
weigh
the
rules
so
that
we
can
extend
it
and
they're
not
bound
by
the
deadline
of
voting
by
june
6..
B
So
what
I
will
do,
starting
this
afternoon,
is
get
back
on
the
phone
with
both
parties
see
if
we
can
reach
a
deal,
because
we
may
need
to
amend
it
to
make
some
part
historic,
some
part,
not
historic,
because
there's
the
home
and
then
there's
the
warehouse
that
sit
behind
it
and
for
anyone
who
has
not
paid
attention.
This
is
essentially
where
the
owners
of
rolling
rock
started
selling
rolling
rock,
so
that's
part
of
what
makes
it
historic
in
people
so
with
that
being
said.
B
I'll
also
just
add
my
personal
two
cents,
which
is,
I
probably
would
not
vote
to.
In
my
personal
opinion,
I
probably
would
not
vote
to
make
historic.
However,
the
community
that
I
represent
is
wholeheartedly
behind
making
it
historic,
and
I
do
believe
my
job
is
to
represent
their
interests,
so
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
making
the
historic.
F
F
However,
I
believe,
as
you
believe,
that
I
there
are
times
when
I
have
to
put
my
personal
thoughts
behind
and
and
lobby
for
the
the
wishes
of
the
community
that
I
was
sent
here
to
represent
and
though,
while
I
may
not
feel
as
strongly
as
they
I
do
believe
we
have
a
moral
and
I'd
even
say
sacred
obligation
to
carry
the
will
of
the
people
we
represent
to
this
table,
and
so
I
continue
to
struggle
with
this
until
you
offered
up
what
I
think
can
be
a
really
amicable
solution,
which
is
to
preserve
parts
of
it
as
historic.
F
We
face
this
challenge
councilman.
I
think
you
might
have
just
joined
the
council
if
you
remember
the
expansion
of
point
park
up
a
fourth
street
and
taking
the
old
hondas
wagner
storefront
as
part
of
their
new
community
development,
and
that
was
quite
contentious
because
of
the
history
that
that
building
has
and
especially
that
facade,
because
really
the
building
only
had
facade,
as
it
was
part
of
a
row
of
businesses.
F
But
ultimately,
agreements
were
reached
where
that
facade
was
actually
taken,
restored
and
reinstalled
as
part
of
the
development
as
art.
If
you
will
an
art,
installation
and
everybody
could
come
to
an
agreement
and
believe
that
was
the
the
right
thing
to
do,
in
fact,
I
think
there
were
several
storefronts
saved
there
and
I
believe
we
have
done
that
again.
F
It
just
escapes
me
when,
but
I
I
having
heard
your
remarks,
I
I
am
infinitely
more
comfortable
in
in
voting
in
support
of
the
of
the
will
of
the
community,
especially
since
there's
a
willingness
to
negotiate
and
preserve
that
which
is
preservable
and
make
it
part
of
the
new
new
installation.
So
if
you
call
for
the
vote
today,
I
will
I
will
vote
in
favor
of
the
of
the
nomination.
Thank
you.
I
You
and
thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
clarifying
your
your
position
on
this
just
a
couple
questions.
Does
the
community
group
have
funding
in
place
to
restore
this
building
if
it
were
to
be
preserved.
B
So
that's
part
of
the
discussion
as
of
right
now.
No
they
do
not.
They
do
not
part
of
the
agreement
that
they're
trying
to
reach
with
the
potential
developer
is
that
if
they
are
not
able
to
raise
the
money
in
a
certain
amount
of
time,
I
think
right
now
we're
looking
at
about
two
years.
Then
it
could
potentially
revert
to
the
developer,
because
one
of
the
concerns
is
okay.
B
You
preserve
this,
but
then
it
just
sits
in
the
same
state
of
disrepair
that
has
been
for
the
last
20
years,
30
years
or
so
so,
that's
part
of
what's
the
sort
of
negotiation
is
back
and
forth
they're
trying
to
settle.
How
long
can
you
have
this
by
not
also
be
able
to
rehab
it
and
restore
it
and
bring
it
back
to
life.
I
And
can
I
ask
you:
are
the
current
owners
who
are
opposing
this?
Are
they
a
local
product
or
is
this
an
llc
out
of
town?
They.
B
Are
out
of
town,
the
original
owners
were
local
to
the
region.
However,
you're
dealing
with
now
children
who
have
moved
away.
The
other
part
that
didn't
really
get
into
is.
The
community
group
has
also
filed
for
a
conservatorship
over
this,
and
they
did
that
a
few
years
ago.
So
that's
also
sort
of
part
of
what
is
being
negotiated
out,
because
the
judge
at
the
time
told
the
two
parties,
the
ownership
and
the
community
group.
I
I
J
B
J
J
You
also
make
it
more
difficult
to
raise
the
money
to
do
anything
with
it,
because
you're
limited
now
on
what
you
can
do
with
it.
So
if
you
make
a
historic
if
you,
if
the
goal
is
to
rehab
it
and
preserve
it,
sometimes
in
this
case,
in
other
cases
actually
nominated
will
be
a
barrier
because
you're
limited
on
how
you
can
develop
it
right.
J
It
keep
the
memory,
but
once
you
make
it
historic,
then
you're
locked
in
to
to
not
doing
any
structural,
external
structural
things
to
the
property
and
without
I
I
just
think-
and
I
I
guess
I
you
know
it's
your
it's
your
district
and
normally
I
would
defer
to
you,
but
if
the
I
have
so
just
in
stone
rule
about
this,
that,
if
the
property
of
the
I
believe-
and
I
have
others
who
agree
when
you
do
not
own
a
property,
when
you
make
something
historic,
it
is
a
taking
of
rights
from
the
property
owner.
J
I
get
really
uncomfortable
when,
when
community
people
decide
to
take
rights
away
from
individuals,
because
that's
the
slippery
slope,
because
I
think
that
the
majority
does
not
always
make
right
and
taking
away
and-
and
so
I
think
that
again
moving
forward
I'll,
say
this
over
and
over
again,
I
believe
and
maybe
I'll
write
legislation
again.
I
haven't
been
only
because
I
don't
know
if
there's
the
will
to
pass
it.
J
I
believe
that
the
only
way
we
should
take
the
rights
of
a
property
owner
as
a
city
is,
if
we're
willing
to
pay
fair
market
value
for
that
property,
so
that
we
take
their
rights,
we
give
them
the
option.
They
may
not
choose
to
sell
it,
but
we're
going
to
take
away
their
rights.
We
should
compensate
them
with
the
fair
market
value
of
the
price
of
those
rights,
because
we
are
literally
taking
away
their
rights
to
develop
that
property,
and
so
I
will
vote
no.
Every
time.
B
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
I
am
happy
to
support
the
nomination
for
the
tito
house
and
I'm
happy
that
councilman
lavelle
is
choosing
to
support.
You
know.
I
think
that
my
camera
is
working.
Sorry,
I'm
happy
to
support
the
nomination
of
the
tito
house.
I
am
happy
that
councilman
nobel
is
supporting
the,
as
he
said,
overwhelming
wishes
of
his
community
and
that
he
has
worked.
N
It
sounds
like
to
me
creatively
between
multiple
parties
of
interested
parties
and
also
our
city
law
department,
both
to
beat
our
required
deadlines,
but
then
to
try
to
come
to
a
a
happy
compromise
right,
and
so
thank
you.
Councilman
lavelle
for
not
just
standing
on
ideological
grounds
like
some
council
members,
but
working
to
productively
move
forward
a
project
that
may
be
best
for
all
parties.
I
appreciate
it.
B
Second
round
for
my
own
self
I'll
simply
say
to
actually
agree
with
councilman
burgess.
However,
I
my
struggle
was,
I
have
an
entire
community
that
is
100
supportive
of
this,
and
so
I
sort
of
have
to
take
off
my
own
hat,
where
my
councilman
hat,
where
I'm
I'm
here
to
represent
those
individuals,
which
is
why
I
will
be
supporting
this
today.
But
I
completely
understand
your
position
as
well,
and
normally
I'd
be
on
your
side
with
that
being
said,
I've
also
said
to
the
developer,
who
has
an
interest
in
this
property?
B
It
actually
doesn't
mean
the
development
is
automatically
going
to
be
approved
because
it's
got
to
go
through
its
own
process
and
as
of
right
now,
you
really
just
suppose
they're
proposing
student
housing,
which
is
the
most
profitable
thing
you
can
do
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
right
now,
but
it's
not
necessarily
in
the
biggest
interest
of
the
community,
so
that'll
be
a
whole
nother
battle
that
we
may
or
may
not
see
at
this
table.
But
just
providing
full
clarity:
councilman
crouston,
president
smith,
yeah.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
just
to
sort
of
expand
on
my
early
remarks
and
the
sacred
obligation
to
carry
the
will
of
people
to
this
table.
I
really
should
have
added
unless,
of
course,
the
will
of
the
people
is
immoral,
illegal
or
unethical.
F
K
You
and
thanks
for
those
comments
councilman,
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
typically
agree
with
reverend
burgess
too,
and
I
still
do
pretty
much
on
this
one
as
well,
but
I
do
know
that
there
was
about
200
residents,
and
so
I
really
admire
how
you're
taking
the
stand
for
your
residence
over
what
you
really
believe,
because
you
represent
them.
So
I
thank
you
for
that,
but
the
person
who
pre
we
grew
up
in
this
house
lives
in
my
district.
You
know
cindy
falvo,
so
I
do
want
to
mention.
I
M
B
K
B
Madam
clerk,
let's
do
a
roll
call
vote?
Okay,
I
think
we're
gonna
have
numerous.
J
M
B
So
that'll
be
an
affirmative
recommendation
and
hopefully
we'll
figure
something
out
by
tuesday.
We'll
have
a
compromise.
Thank
you
all
for
allowing
me
to
do
that.
So
that
will
now
take
us
to
our
innovation,
performance
and
asset
management
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
councilwoman
strasberger.
We
have
one
new
paper
bill,
381
bill.
H
381
resolution
amendment
resolution
540,
which
authorized
the
mayor
and
director
of
innovation
and
performance
on
behalf
of
the
city
to
enter
into
a
professional
services
agreement
and
or
amendments
with
planet
technologies
for
essential
support
and
maintenance
services
for
the
continued
operation
of
the
city's

and

O
O
Thank
you.
I
think
you
can
do
a
better
job
of
describing
this
bill
and
explaining
it
than
I
can
if,
if
you'd,
if
you'd
be
willing
to
state
your
name
and
your
title
and
a
brief
explanation
of
the
bill,.
P
P
We
as
a
result
of
us
not
having
the
staff
on
board
to
provide
training
in
the
very
beginning
when
we
started
the
contract
we
contracted
with
evolve
to
provide
training
for
all
of
our
office
365
services.
In
addition,
we
have
multiple
office
365
applications
for
which
you
do
not
have
internal
support
at
a
higher
level.
I
should
say
expert
support
so
from
time
to
time,
we
do
need
to
ask
planet
to
assist
us
in
designing
azure
services
or
specialized
services,
for
which
we
do
not
have
staff
on
board
to
to
do.
For
us.
P
We
currently
have
about
1600
registered
users
who
take
training
classes
with
evolve
from
time
to
time,
and
that
is
available
for
all
city
employees,
and
we
would
encourage
employees
to
utilize
that
service
when
they
have
questions
with
respect
to
using
the
different
features
of
the
office.
365

O
Thanks
gwen,
I
appreciate
it.
I
I
know
that
sometimes
there's
a
lack
of
understanding
of
what
some
of
our
new
contracts
or
extension
of
contracts
are
about.
So
I
appreciate
that
that
explanation
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
that
for
members.
I
have
no
further
questions.
B
Thank
you,
president
smith.
K
Thank
you.
I
I
just
I
have
a
question
when
last
week
I
think
it
was.
There
was
a
couple
emails
that
went
out
about
almost
all
the
public
safety
being
out
their
emails
being
out,
and
I'm
just
curious
that
what
do
you
do
in
the
case
like
I
don't
know,
if
I
want
you
to
say
it
on
tv,
but
what
do
you
do
in
a
case
like
that
and
was
anything
related
to
what
we're
doing
today
for
the
emails
to
that
breakdown?.
P
I
was
on
vacation
last
week,
so
I'm
not
ultimately
familiar
with
that,
but
I
do
believe
that
was
a
network
issue
and
not
an
application
issue.
Okay,
we're
talking
about
supporting
the
application
itself,
not
the
network
for
which
it
provides
transmission
and
connectivity.
K
So
I'd
really
like
to
have
some
conversations
about
about
some
of
that
stuff,
because
I'm
curious
what
we
do
when
those
things
happen,
because
I
mean
when
I
kept
seeing
police
fire
ems
even
more.
I
just
I
couldn't
believe
I
was
watching
it
all
shut
down,
and
I
thought
I
mean
that
is
a
huge
concern
for
the
public
safety
yeah.
So.
P
I
do
believe
it
was
a
connectivity
issue
and
it
was
something
that
was
being
addressed
by
dutain
by
dqe,
but
I
can
get
more
answers
for
you.
If
you
would
like
to
discuss
that.
Yeah.
K
Yeah,
I
don't
necessarily
want
an
email,
but
I
think
maybe,
if
councilwoman
strasberger
can
maybe
get
us
the
information
that
would
be
probably
the
best
way
to
share
it
with
council,
so
it's
not
circulating
somewhere
else.
I.
O
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
just
to
say
that
to
answer
the
council
president's
question,
I
have
an
email
that
I
was
able
to
find
from
director
norman
and
I'll
forward
it
to
all
of
council,
or
I
can
forward
it
to
you
to
four.

thank

These

are

for
adding
funds
to
changes
to
penn

miss

that
have
been
a
very,
very
long
time
in

I

Thank
you.
B
F
Q
Councilman
jay
pod
director
office
management
budget,
so
the
the
changes
being
proposed
here
today
are
drawing
pardon
me
of
funds
from
two
separate
budget
years,
2019
and
2020
respectively,
that
currently
reside
within
those
years.
Capital
budgets
for
the
build
out
of
the
proposed
public
safety
facility
on
the
former
veterans
affairs
hospital
site
in
lincoln
lemington
del
mar,
and
instead
deploying
those
funds
to
close
a
funding
gap
for
the
scheduled
two-way
conversion
of
penn
avenue
in
eastern
state.
Pardon
me
penn
circle
in
east
liberty.
Q
These
funds
were
appropriated
in
prior
budget
years
for
use
of
the
build
out
of
the
former
va
site
public
safety
facility,
which
remains
a
project
that
the
administration
continues
to
work
on,
and
plan
for
prepare
for.
However,
it
is
simply
unavoidably
true
that
we
do
not
have
concrete
plans
to
deploy
these
funds
within
this
budget
year.
We
continue
to
work
with
the
departments
of
public
safety
and
public
works,
to
devise
appropriate
plans
for
how
to
utilize
that
site
to
support
the
needs
of
the
public
safety
bureaus
and
the
department
generally.
Q
On
the
on
the
other
side
of
that
coin,
we
have
a
shovel
ready
project
to
complete
the
long-awaited
two-way
conversion
of
penn
avenue
in
the
same
council
district
that
are
simply
that
are
ready
to
go,
but
for
the
need
of
approximately
a
million
dollars
in
additional
funding
slightly
more
than
that
in
the
final
accounting.
Q
Those
cost
increases
above
what
was
previously
allocated
in
the
capital
budget
when
it
was
passed
in
december,
are
driven
by
labor
and
material
cost
escalations
that
have
occurred
since
then,
as
is
a
common
feature
of
many
capital
projects
this
year.
If
we
were
able
to
move
these
funds
now,
we
can
lock
in
the
90-day
pricing
that
we
received
earlier
this
year.
If
we
cannot
do
so
in
the
very
near
future,
we
expect
to
incur
additional
price
increases.
Q
Q
We
would
we
fully
intend
to
continue
to
pursue
the
va
site
project
and
will,
in
some
form,
you
know,
pending
further
conversation
and
discussion
and
potential
discussion
with
the
federal
government
on
refinement
of
the
criteria
there,
such
that
we
can,
you
know
fit
it
within
our
operational
needs,
but
again
that
process
will
take
some
time
if
and
when
we're
ready
to
proceed
with
that,
we'll
happily
fund
that
project
in
future
capital
budget
years.
Q
But
it
seemed
prudent
to
us
at
this
time
to
take
dollars
that
we
realistically
were
not
going
to
be
able
to
spend
this
fiscal
year
and
deploy
them
to
a
shovel
ready
project.
That
is
ready
to
go,
but
for
the
need
for
about
a
million
dollars
in
additional
funding.
So
that's
the
rationale
behind
this
proposed
change.
Appreciate
council's
consideration
happy
to
answer
any
further
questions
about
that.
F
I
just
want
to
make
certain
that
anyone
listening
understands
that
this,
the
funding,
the
funds
are
an
opportunity
to
be
replenished
in
further
budgets,
and
just
because
we
are
making
the
transfer
at
this
point
in
time
does
not
mean
that
we
are
somehow
abandoning
the
project
in
in
any
way
the
optics
of
not
investing
in
public
safety.
At
a
time
when,
clearly,
the
news
is
consistently
about
public
safety
is
not
the
kind
of
message
any
of
us.
Q
Q
If
I
could
try
to
use
that
analogy,
so
we're
simply
looking
to
capture
funds
that
were
raised
through
priority
or
bond
issuances
to
fund
the
shovel
ready
project
in
order
to
ensure
that
we're
not
sitting
on
those
funds
for
too
long
an
important
feature
of
thinking
about
capital
budget
funding
right
is
that
you
know
when
we
issue
debt
to
support
projects,
we
have
kind
of
a
fiduciary
obligation
to
spend
them
relatively
quickly.
If
for
understandable,
operational
impediments,
that
means
we
can't
do
so
on
the
schedule
we
originally
anticipated.
Q
Reallocating
them
to
a
project.
That's
ready
to
go
is
not
an
indication
that
we
don't
continue
to
prioritize
the
previous
project,
but
simply
that
we
need
to
refresh
the
way
in
which
we're
financing
it.
So
this
is
not
just
one
project,
but
rather
we're
handling
the
the
financing
cycle.
I
I
should
also
note
just
to
the
point
that
you
raised
councilman,
that
this
does
not
in
any
way
impede
the
department
of
public
safety's,
operational
readiness.
Any
of
the
uses
that
were
proposed.
Q
The
the
purpose
of
the
vasa
was
to
consolidate
a
number
of
public
safety
services
and
facilities
that
are
presently
distributed
across
the
city.
I
think
that
that
remains
a
worthy
goal
and
one
worth
continued
exploration,
but
there
are
no
necessary
operational
readiness
issues
from
not
proceeding
with
that
this
year,
because
all
of
the
facilities
that
would
prospectively
be
relocated.
There
continue
to
exist
elsewhere
in
in
a
ready
state.
So
police
headquarters
is
still
functional
on
the
north
side,.
A
Q
The
training
facilities
exist
in
the
iran
valley.
Obviously
it
will
be.
It
is
important
to
the
city
to
relocate
those
facilities
out
of
that
flood
plain
in
in
a
medium
term,
but
we
would
not
be
in
a
position
where
we
could
not
conduct
any
vital
public
safety
activities,
training
or
other
operational
readiness
procedures
by
delaying
this
project.
Frankly,
if
we
did
not
move
these
funds
to
penn
circle
this
year,
we
still
would
not
be
in
a
position
to
deliver
enhanced.
F
I
appreciate
it
thanks
director,
pollock
and
again
not
to
oversimplify
our
our
commitment
to
our
training.
Our
public
safety
training
facility
remains
strong
and
is
unshakeable
and,
and
the
funds
are
replenishable,
if
that's
actually
a
word
for
future
consideration.
So
thanks.
F
Being
here
this
morning,
I
appreciate
the
time
you
took
to
explain
this
to
me
yesterday
and.
F
Chair,
I
have
no
further
comment.
Thank
you.
K
Smith,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
Just
a
few
things
a
new
director,
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
The
mayor
is
committed
to
the
completion
of
the
public
safety
training
facility
as
soon
as
possible.
Q
The
the
existing
training
facilities
are
in
a
an
area
that
is
subject
to
flooding
and
is
again,
I
would
say,
in
the
medium
term,
we
need
that
space
to
address
that
flooding
issue
with
stormwater
infrastructure.
So
we
need
to
relocate
those
training
facilities,
immediate
term,
as.
Q
Continues
to
advance
in
conjunction
with
pwsa
and
the
army
corps
of
engineers,
so
so
yes,
I
I
do
think
that,
in
order
to
make
full
use
of
the
va
site,
some
discussion
with
our
federal
partners
around
the
finer,
the
fine
print,
if
you
will
of
the
restrictions,
may
be
warranted
in
order
to
make
sure
we
can
maximize
the
efficiency
of
what
we
relocate
there,
and
that
is
a
process
that
we
have
under
we've
begun
to
ensure
that
we
can
construct.
Q
You
know
future
facilities
there
that
meet
the
general
needs
of
the
city,
public
safety
being
the
primary
one,
but
other
needs
also
that
are
collateral
to
that,
but
can
achieve
greater
efficiency
by
being
collocated
with
that,
we
need
to
kind
of
fine-tune
some
of
that,
so
we
are
committed
to
finding
a
new
home
for
our
public
safety
training
facilities
that
meets
their
needs
in
a
way
that
is
better
than
what
we
can
currently
offer
at
the
existing
facilities
and
does
not
run
the
same
flooding
risk
that
the
current
facilities
have
so
that
that
is.
K
The
mayor
is
committed
to
the
completing
the
public
safety
training
facility.
One
of
the
reasons
I'm
asking
is
because
I
actually
was
actually
my
only
contribution
to
act.
47,
as
I
put
it
in
the
plan,
is
that
we
would
have
a
public
safety
training
facility
and
it
actually
came
from
chief
harper
at
the
time
and
he
was
unable
to
get
the
credit
for
it.
K
You
can
actually
charge
people
to
come
in
and
be
trained
by
our
by
our
professionals
and
use
that
money
for
other
things,
like
maybe
police,
community
relationship
building,
some
programs
that
maybe
the
stop
the
violence
stuff.
So
the
funding
could
be
used
in
other
ways
so
to
help
support
some
of
the
different
initiatives
that
you'd
like
to
see
here.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
mention
this
because
I
think
that's
a
way
to
get
some
things
done
and
the
only
other
thing
I'm
going
to
ask.
K
Is
there
and
it's
same
on
the
same
lines
of
public
safety
unrelated
to
this
funding
here,
but
is
there?
Are
you
going
to
put
it?
Can
you
tell
us
when
there
will
be
a
class
put
on
for
the
pittsburgh
police.
K
Very
shortly,
okay:
well,
I
just
want
to
be
honest
and
I've
heard
different
things.
I've
heard
that
you're
going
to
hire
people
with
experience
that
may
not
need
to
go
through
a
class,
but
that's
in
the
caught
up
in
the
law
department.
I
heard
that
you
are
absolutely
putting
on
a
class,
but
we've
got
40
people
to
apply,
so
I
think
that
council
wants
to
know.
I
think
the
residents
want
to
know
what
the
status
is
so
as
soon
as
we
can
know
that
that'd
be
great.
Thank
you.
F
B
Thank
you.
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,

opposed
affirmative
recommendation

takes

F
Please,
thank
you
very
much.
We
I
I
first
of
all
I
want
to
recognize
and
thank
previous
administration
and
current
administration
for
their
steadfast
dedication
to
the
rehabilitation
and
preservation
of
the
oliver
bath
house.
It
is
truly
an
institution
in
south
pittsburgh.
We
ran
the
risk
of
actually
losing
the
building
because
of
structural
concerns,
and
there
was
at
one
time
a
strong
possibility.
F
We
could
actually
demolish
the
building,
but
again
the
previous
administration,
very,
very
strong,
strong
commitment
to
the
preservation
of
the
building,
and
I
see
which
pleases
me
greatly-
a
continued
commitment
for
the
current
administration
for
the
preservation
of
the
oliver
bath
house.
We
have
secured
a
staggering
amount
of
money
through
grants
and
capital.
I
believe
some
capital
applications
as
well.
Could
you-
and
I
know
you
have
a
million
things
on
your
plate?
F
Could
you
send
a
briefing,
or
at
least
let
me
know
who
I
should
connect
with-
to
offer
up
a
briefing
in
writing
just
for
members
in
general
to
understand
where
we
are
on
the
project?
How
many
dollars
we
truly
have
committed
over
the
years
to
the
project
and
a
possible
timeline
by
which
the
structural
deficiencies?
We
could
expect
the
beginning
of
debate,
and
I
don't
expect
you
to
do
that
here,
but
if
you
could
counsel,
I.
Q
Actually
believe
that
director
hornstein
is
also
on
the
call
and
prepared
to
speak
to
that
to
some
of
those
latter
questions
about
construction
timeline.
While
he's
doing
that,
I
can
check
a
few
things
on
the
the
financing
and,
if
I
can't
give
you
a
full.
I
Q
F
L
Morning
to
the
quest
to
the
questions
you're
asking
about
the
oliver
bath
house,
I
know
that
we're
preparing
you
know
we
are
in
the
process
with
the
contractors
and
pli
to
do
our
construction
documents
getting
permits
there
with
the
hope
that
we're
going
to
be
going
out
to
bid
for
construction
very
soon,
I'm
happy
to
get
a
much
more
like
fully
detailed
briefing
offline.
L
As
I
talk
to
my
staff
and
get
a
more
accurate
prediction
of
where
we'll
be.
I
know
in
our
conversations
internally
that
you
know,
like
everyone,
there's
going
to
be
some
supply
chain
challenges
that
we're
going
to
have
to
deal
with
but
like,
as
you
said,
this
is
a
really
exciting
project
that
we're
all.
L
I
can't
wait
to
get
off
to
get
started
and
get
on
board,
because
I
think
it's
just
a
great
example
of
a
lot
of
different
people
coming
together
through
the
state
through
the
community,
all
levels
of
government
and
community
to
like
make
this
happen
and
save
this
asset.
F
Yeah,
so
I'm
happy
to
go
offline
with
you
director
for
briefing,
but
at
the
same
time
it
is
because
of
the
support
of
my
colleagues
that
this
project
continues
and
so
in
respect
of
my
colleagues,
I
really
would
like
to
be
able
to
have
something
to
share
with
everybody
across
the
board
as
to
why
this
project
continues
to
be
so
very
important
and
again
just
to
show
respect
for
their
for
my
appreciation
for
their
continued
support
of
this
project,
because
we're
applying
millions
and
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
to
this
project.
L
F
Absolutely
absolutely
take
your
time
I
I
know
I
know
we're
committed.
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
bring
my
fellow
colleagues
up
to
speed.
That's
all.
Q
I
see
you're
back.
This
is,
as
a
brief
note.
One
million
dollars
in
bond
funding
in
2022
bond
funding
were
allocated
to
this
project.
It
is
part
of
a
composite
facility
improvement
line
item
in
the
capital
budget
that
has
10
million
dollar
10.6
million
dollars
of
change
in
unexpected
prior
authorizations.
Q
I
think,
by
the
time
director
ornstein
is
prepared
to
speak
to
the
update
on
the
operational
side.
I
can
give
you
a
more
complete
accounting
of
how
much
of
that
prior
year,
authorization
is
slated
for
this
project,
but
know
that,
as
you
yourself
pointed
out,
we
are.
We
are
compiling
funding
from
a
variety
of
sources,
including
on
the
topic
today,
rcap
support
to
ensure
that
we
can
complete
this
project
in
a
way
that
is,
you
know
it
honors
the
historic
contribution
and
nature
of
this
facility
to
our
cities.
Yeah
oliver
bath
house.
F
Was
a
bathhouse
when
the
steel
mills
began,
it
was
a
communal
bath
house
that
was
the
function
of
all
of
the
bath
house
and
the
reason
it
was
built,
so
it
does
it
just.
I
won't
believe
this.
It
has
a
tremendous
history
in
this
neighborhood
and
a
love
of
of
people
here,
probably
unsurpassed
in
any
facility
that
we
we
have
here
in
in
the
south
state
flat.
So
I
appreciate
your
help
and
your
dedication.
I
won't
take
any
more
time
and
appreciate
councilwoman
gross's
willingness
to
put
this
on
the
agenda
today.
K
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
to
councilman
krause,
because
one
of
the
reasons
everybody
is
so
supportive
is
because
of
you,
you're,
a
strong
advocate
and
and
really
do
an
amazing
job.
I
told
you
and
reverend
before
when
people
talk
about,
you
know
needing
change,
and
you
know
wanting
something.
K
I
don't
think
people
understand
what
it
means
to
have
the
institutional
knowledge
and
things
that
you
two
bring
to
the
table,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
acknowledge
that
that
your
hard
work
as
well,
but
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
think
it
gives
a
lot
of
credit
to
the
administration,
because
one
of
the
things
our
residents
get
frustrated
with
is
sometimes
they
do
want
to
vote
for
somebody
different.
Sometimes
they
do
want
to
vote
for
somebody,
but
they
don't.
K
They
don't
understand
that
some
of
their
projects
are
at
risk
or
that
they're
people
that
they
like
working
with
are
at
risk,
and
I
want
to
give
the
administration
some
credit
for
that,
because
they
have
kept
projects
on
on
the
table
and
that
they
are
moving
them
forward
and
they
are
also
kept
a
lot
of
people,
and
I
think
that
that
that
speaks
volumes
to
the
residents.
I
think
it's
important,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
both
to
both
of
you
for
your
work.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
A
B
Any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation
moves
us
to
our
deferred
papers,
bill
286.,
bill.
H
F
Thank
you,
a
councilwoman
strasburger
is
this
yours,
or
is
this
councilman
of
congress?
This
is
yours,.
B
N
I'd
like
to
bring
dr
pollock
to
the
table
back
to
the
table
there.
You
are
again
nice
to
see
you
again
and
if
you
could
provide
us
with
a
brief
description
of
what
is
going
on
here.
The
land
bank
and
our
vacant
properties
have
once
again
been
alive
in
people's
conversations
and
in
the
media,
and-
and
so
I
think,
it'd
be
better
to
get
up
a
deeper
understanding
of
what
you're
proposing
here.
Q
So
the
the
proposed
amendment
to
the
cooperation
excuse
me.
Cooperation
agreement
is
relatively
simple.
The
existing
cooperation
agreement
allows
for
the
transfer
of
properties
from
the
land
bank
to
the
ura,
the
city
and
other
partners,
but
does
not
allow
for
the
transfer
of
properties
from
those
partners
to
the
land
bank.
N
The
this
close
circle
of
cooperative
funds,
so
I'm
just
going
to
clarify
a
little
bit
of
what
you
just
said.
You
said
the
original
cooperation
agreement
that
stands
currently
allows
only
for
the
transfer
of
properties
from
the
land
bank
to,
for
example,
the
city
or
to
other
entities
like
the
ura
or
the
housing
employee.
Q
N
Just
trying
to
restate
what
you
said,
I
wasn't
making
a
point.
So
my
point
is
this:
we
did
actually
transfer
a
property
from
the
city
to
the
land
bank,
one
property,
the
difference
between
what
you
said
and
what
I'm
saying
is
that
we
did
it
at
the
council
table
sure.
N
So
what
you
are
proposing
here,
if
I'm
following
you,
is
that
the
city
inventory,
which
numbers
some
14
000
properties
versus
the
land
bank
inventory,
which
currently
is
one
property,
you're,
proposing
an
amendment
to
this
cooperation
agreement,
so
that
properties
may
be
transferred
from
the
city's
14
000
property
inventory
to
the
land
bank
without
council
approval.
Q
N
Right
and
we're
giving
you
permission
now
to
just
amend
the
agreement
is
what
you're
asking
for
right.
So
I
I
can't
say
that
I'm
comfortable
with
that
right,
so
I
would
be
dearly
disappointed
if
we
pass
this
legislation
as
written
to
allow
you
to
amend
the
co-op
in
any
way,
shape
or
form
that
you
so
please
and
then
you
know
we
passed
it
finally
on
tuesday
and
then
you
all
create
a
cooperative
agreement
and
then
without
anyone
knowing
it
citywide
transferred
14,
000
city
properties
into
the
land
bank.
Q
I
understand
that
concern
I
I
would
say
that
by
nature
of
the
parties
to
the
agreement
transfers
into
the
land
bank,
for
that
purpose
would
be
conducted
for
the
purposes
of
clearing
title,
which
is
not
something
that
the
the
real
estate
division
for
the
treasurer's
office
in
in
finance
is
capable
of
doing
on
as
expeditious
timeline.
Q
So
the
there
are
protections
I
guess
I
should
say,
embedded
in
the
structure
of
the
parties
to
the
agreement
that
that
allow
for
further
public
process
on
the
ultimate
disposition.
The
purpose
of
the
transfer
transfers
in
this
case
would
be
to
expedite
the
process
of
clearing
title,
but
I
do
understand.
N
N
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
like
to
catch
these
things
earlier
than
I
did,
and
I
apologize
I've
been
dealing
with
covid,
my
you
have
covered
in
my
household
and
now
I'm
currently
positive.
So
that's
why
I've
been
out-
and
I
didn't
catch
this
concern
until
late
in
the
in
the
week
and
so
we're
just
talking
about
it
here
now
and
I
like
to
propose
a
kind
of
tighter
resolution
right.
N
It
just
requires
some
tightening
up
of
the
resolution
language
right,
I'm
supportive
of
something
better
than
is
what's
happening
now,
which
is
not
you
know
what
has
happened
happening
the
last
eight
years
with
the
land
bank
is
not
making
anyone
happy
anywhere
and
so,
but
that
there
we
should
all
strive
together
to
figure
out
what
will
make
things
work
better
and
I
think,
is
it
uv
common
ground
to
find.
N
I
find
the
language
of
this
resolution
just
too
broad
and
so
that
you
know
I'm
supportive
of
what
you're
telling
us
at
the
table,
but
I
would
like
to
see
that
reflected
in
the
language
somehow
and
also,
I
think,
we're
all
eager
to
talk
more
about
what
the
new
administration
sees
as
the
potential
floor
and
priorities
for
all
of
the
vacant
properties
that
we
have
against
14
000
vacant
properties
that
are
actually
on
the
city
a
lot
of
times
the
public
and
even
the
media
think
our
vacant
properties
that
you
see
the
thousands
of
them
across
the
city
are
held
by
the
urban
redevelopment
authority.
N
That
is
not
true.
It
is
in
the
hundreds,
it's
certainly
less
than
one
thousand
and
that
the
city
is
the
agent
on
the
deed
for
some
14
000
properties
that
are
vacant
or
abandoned
some
some
structures,
some
without
mostly
without
actually
mostly
baking
properties.
So
I'm
going
to
propose
that
maybe
we
hold
this,
maybe
we
can
tweak
the
language
I
see
there
are
other
members
who
are
so
eager
to
ask
their
questions
so
I'll
just
stop
there
for
now.
Thank
you,
miss
director.
Thank
you.
Mr
chair.
F
N
F
F
So
director
pollock,
thank
you
again
for
spending
your
morning
with
us.
I
I'm
grateful
to
councilman
rose
for
bringing
this
to
the
forefront
it.
It
gives
me
concern
to
in
terms
of
transparency,
we're
talking
about
neighborhoods
here,
not
just
individual
plots
of
property,
but
communities
that
we
could
inadvertently.
F
And
you
know
I
don't
mean
to
demean
the
ura
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
but
turning
over
entire
neighborhoods
to
to
an
entity
under
which
we
have
little
to
no
say
so.
I,
but
in
the
spirit
of
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
being
that
the
the
land-based
clearly
has
not
worked,
and
I'm
not
here
to
lay
blame
on
anyone,
but
clearly
there's
enough
factors
that
contributed
to
the
failure
of
the
land
bank
that
we
are.
F
So
I
guess
my
question
comes
to
this.
What
makes
it
necessary
to
put
the
properties
in
the
hands
of
the
ura
to
do
clear
title
and
then
number
two:
is
there
an
avenue
when
we
talk
about
this
back
and
forth?
Is
there
an
avenue
then
to
return
the
properties
to
the
city
once
title
has
been
cleared,
or
is
that
something
that
we
even
want
to
consider.
Q
So
a
couple
of
things,
one
one
I
think,
if
I
may
briefly
clarify
councilman
just
to
understand
the
ura-
does
not
actually
have
any
expedited
powers
in
clearing
title,
the
land
that
does
so
there.
There
are
essentially
three
different
sets
of
tools
or
capabilities
in
this
relationship.
Q
The
city,
as
councilwoman
grows
rightly
pointed
out,
is
the
holder
of
the
largest
number
of
parcels
and,
in
many
cases,
the
originator
of
publicly
owned
parcels
in
the
sense
that
when
they
become
tax
delinquent,
it
is
the
city
either
acting
on
its
own
behalf
or
as
an
agent
for
the
free
taxing
bodies
that
takes
them
into
public
ownership,
so
we're
the
source
of
most
publicly
owned
parcels.
The
ura
has
the
most
constructive
mechanisms
for
disposing
of
parcels.
Q
By
that
I
mean
the
city
is
bound
by
state
law
to
sell
any
any
real
estate
that
it
sells
to
the
highest
bidder
without
respect
or
acknowledgement
of
what
they
intend
to
to
use
the
parcel
for,
whereas
the
ura
has
different
procedures
that
allow
it
to
sell
to
somebody
who's,
not
the
highest
bidder,
but
is
intending
to
use
it
for
a
publicly
beneficial
use.
Neither.
Q
To
expedite
the
process
by
which
title
is
cleared,
and
that's
the
role
that
the
land
bank
plays
in
this
in
this
system,
right
by
transferring
properties
that
are
owned
by
the
city
as
the
most
common
originator
or
ones
that,
for
legacy
reasons
are
currently
in
the
inventory
of
the
ura,
but
have
continued
to
have
tangled
title,
which,
in
a
perfect
world,
would
never
happen
right
by
the
time
something
reaches
the
inventory
of
the
ura.
Its
title
should
already
be
clear.
Q
There
are
many
properties
that
don't
meet
those
terms
simply
because
of
historic
practice
and
and
the
fact
that
the
land
bank
has
not
been
fully
stood
up,
but
the
the
goal
here
in
making
this
a
two-way
transfer
street
would
be
to
allow
those
entities
that
are
presently
in
possession
of
these
properties
to
transfer
them
to
the
ura.
I'm
sorry
to
the
land
bank
for
the
purpose
of
clearing
title,
which
it
has
unique
powers
to
do
that.
Neither
of
the
other
entities
do
to
answer
your
question.
Q
Q
You
know
again
is
there
a
case
in
which
property
would
be
would
be
taken
into
the
land
bank
from
the
city
for
the
purposes
of
clearing
title
and
then
transferred
back
to
the
city
absolute,
if
either
our
objective
is
to
sell
it
to
the
highest
bidder,
which
I
believe
would
occur
only
in
a
very
limited
number
of
circumstances,
but
it's
potentially
possible,
probably
more
likely
in
that
instance,
would
be
transfer
from
the
land
bank
to
the
city
for
the
purposes
of
some
for
the
purposes
of
the
city,
constructing
some
publicly
beneficial
use,
adding
it
to
an
existing
greenway,
adding
it
to
an
existing
park,
constructing
a
playground
constructing
some
other
public
facility.
Q
Q
So
so
that's
a
high-level
sketch
right
of
course,
sort
of
how
these
different
pieces
can
work
and
how
the
different
entities
with
their
different
abilities
under
state
law
can
work
together.
If
the
city
is
the
generator
of
new,
publicly
owned
parcels,
the
ura
is
the
clearer
title.
I'm
sorry,
the
land
bank
is
the
theorem
title
and
the
ura,
potentially
as
the
disposer
of
clear
title
property
in
a
way
that
does
not
have
to
put
the
highest
bidder.
Q
All
of
that
having
been
said,
I
fully
recognize
and
acknowledge
your
point
councilwoman
that
perhaps
further
discussion
and
tighter
definition
around
some
of
these
terms
is
warranted
in
order
to
give
council
confidence
in
in
the
the
mechanisms
we
wish
to
employ
here.
What
I've
described
is
our
intent,
but
I
I
acknowledge
that
that's
not
fully
described
in
the
text
of
the
resolution
itself,
so
we'd
be
happy
to
work
with
you
on
amendments
or
other
clarification.
F
Yeah
and
director
I
would.
I
would
agree
that
we
need
to
hang
on
to
this
bill
and
I
would
support
several
briefings
by
the
administration
so
that
we
can
better
understand
the
kind
of
decision
that
we
are
making
when,
when
I
hear
terminology
like
turning
property
over
to
the
highest
bid,
I
hear
llc's
from
out
of
state
that
come
in
and
purchase
our
neighborhoods
with
no
sense
of
community
whatsoever,
and
you
know
this.
F
We've
had
this
conversation
a
million
times
here
at
the
table
director
you
and
I've
talked
about
the
the
you
know
the
decimation
of
of
of
neighborhoods.
We,
you
know,
I
know
in
the
third
council
district,
we
exceed
55
percent
of
we're,
probably
somewhere
around
60
percent
rental.
Director
correct
me
citywide.
Is
it
this
high
60
rental
in
in
terms
of
residential
property
city-wide
thereabouts?
Yes,.
Q
Give
or
take
a
point
or
two
but
yes,
you're,
certainly
in
the
ballpark,
which
is
a
major
inversion
of
that
curve
over
the
past
decade.
You
know,
as
recently
as
ten
years
ago,
we
were
a
majority
ownership
city
and
now
we're
a
majority
renter
city,
the
real
estate
market
has
changed.
I
mean
this
is
one
of
those
things
we're
watching
at
home,
but
there's
repeating
that
the
real
estate
market
has
transformed
dramatically.
F
It's
only
a
reflection
of
society.
Society's
changed
drastically,
so
we've
built
a
number
of
apartments
over
the
last
decade.
So
that's
going
to
certainly
skew
the
numbers
up,
but
you
know,
as
we
see
younger
generations
coming
up
and
and
the
desire
to
stream,
if
you
will
their
lives,
whether
it
is
transportation,
you
know
whether
it's
digital
technology
or
whether
it's
housing,
it's
sort
of
the
sort
of
a
temporary
platform
by
which
we're
not
really
looking
to
purchase
but
down
roads
stay.
F
You
know,
life
is
more
fluid
today,
I'll
say
it
that
way,
and
people
tend
to
move
quickly,
and
so
it
supports
the
rental
market.
So
I'm
not
by
any
means
suggesting
that
rental
property
is
solely
a
negative,
because
that's
not
true.
This
is
not
true,
but
when
we
see
we
members
of
council
here
see
our
neighborhoods
that
over
decades
have
been
decimated
by
the
investment
of
llc's
from
across,
not
just
the
nation
but
the
globe,
with
no
investment
in
community
or
preservation
of
that
community
or
or
a
spirit
of
involvement
or
engagement
in
that
community.
F
F
Q
I
I'll
be
very
brief,
just
in
response
to
some
of
the
points
of
race,
councilman
and,
I
believe,
they're
all
very
salient
points
at
present.
Well,
let
me
actually
take
a
step
back.
You
raised
an
excellent
point
about
the
limitations
on
the
city's
ability
to
dispose
of
property
in
its
own
right
being
limited
to
the
highest
bidder,
and
I
will
note
that
it
is
very
much
our
intention
to
avoid
having
to
dispose
of
property
in
that
way
and
that
it
is.
Q
Q
I'll
also
just
note
that
another
key
factor
that
has
changed
here
really
in
the
last
five
years
is
the
enactment
of
conservatorship
legislation
by
the
general
assembly
and
a
rise
in
conservatorship
cases.
Those
are
motivated
by
a
number
of
different
intentions
and
are
being
done
by
a
number
of
different
actors.
Some
of
them
are
extraordinarily
well-intentioned
non-profits,
who
are
good
partners
to
the
city
and
its
various
related
agencies
and
seeking
to
achieve
beneficial
outcomes.
Q
Others
are.
I
would,
I
guess
at
least
describe
this
opportunistic
actions
by
actors
who
are
seeking
to
gain
control
of
properties
that
are
presently
in
public
control.
There
are
a
number
of
things
we
can
do
to
limit
the
exposure
to
conservatorship
cases,
one
of
which
is
simply
getting
better.
As
we
know,
we
have
to
do
in
the
maintenance
of
our
property
so
that
it's
harder
to
make
a
conservatorship
case.
Q
It
established
a
land
care
program
for
city-owned
properties
that
relies
on
a
a
wide
network
of
small
businesses
and
local
nonprofits
to
engage
in
the
property
maintenance
process
so
that
we
are
doing
out.
We
are
meeting
our
obligations
to
maintain
property,
keeping
the
sidewalks
clear,
keeping
the
grass
died,
keeping
the
snow
clear
in
winter
and
we've
already
seen
in
a
few
short
months,
some
significant
improvement
in
the
condition
of
the
city's
inventory
of
property.
Q
Because
of
that,
but
we
remain
at
risk
so
long
as
properties
remain
in
our
portfolio
for
long
periods
of
time,
and
one
of
the
leading
causes
of
that
is
the
the
long
time
of
which
it
takes
for
us
to
clear
title
without
a
tool
like
the
land
bank
to
be
able
to
assist
in
those
transactions,
and
then
the
fact
that
if
it's
in
our
portfolio,
meaning
that
we
only
have
the
option
of
auction
sale
to
dispose
of
it,
we
often
hold
properties
back
from
sale
in
that
way,
because
we're
our
ultimate
intention
is
to
honor
community
wishes
and
do
a
publicly
beneficial
disposition
which
will
mean
transfer
at
some
point
through
some
mechanism.
Q
That
is
not
that
process.
So
frankly,
there
are
a
lot
of
parcels
that
are
for
lack
of
better
terms,
stuck
in
the
city's
inventory,
for
a
variety
of
structural
reasons.
At
the
moment
that
increases
our
operating
liability
to
maintain
them.
It
increases
our
risk
of
a
conservatorship
case
and
it
and
it
delays
our
ability
to
put
those
courses
back
to
use
in
the
ways
in
which
communities
desire.
Q
So
we
are
aiming
for
process
improvements
that
limit
that
issue,
and
that's
the
intention
here,
though,
again
happy
to
work
with
council
to
to
build
a
higher
comfort
level,
with
the
actual
procedural
steps
and
safeguards
that
are
in
place
to
achieve
that
goal.
But
just
understand
that
that's
our
intent
right
is
that
we
now
have
pretty
significant
backlog
of
properties
in
inventory
that
are
stuck
for
a
variety
of
reasons
to
be
that
title
clearance,
timelines
or
disposition
processes
and
streamlining
that
such
that
we
can
avoid
those
risks
is
our
intention.
F
F
No!
I
just
I
wouldn't
ask
our
council
president.
I
would
certainly
defer
to
her
leadership
to
call
this,
but
if
we
could
schedule
some
briefings
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
this
bill
and
ask
if
we
could
have
our
attorney
that
is
engaged
in
real
estate
law
within
our
law
department
to
be
able
to
attend
those
meetings
to
help
us
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
decision
that
we're
making.
But
I
know
our
council
president
wishes
to
speak
next,
so
I'll
I'll
leave
the
floor
and
thanks
dr
pollock,
for
for
your
assistance.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you
councilman.
Well,
I
just
basically
want
to
hold
it
for
public
hearing
and
now
the
briefings,
but
I
do
have
a
lot
to
say
about
it,
because
you
know
I
hear
all
these
comments
about
the
land
and
and
how
there's
all
this
land
that's
waiting,
and
we
have
tangled
titles
and
all
that
stuff.
But
I
do
remember
when
I
was
on
the
land
bank,
which
councilman
wilson
took
my
place
on
there,
and
I
thank
him
for
that.
K
One
of
the
things
that
somebody
approached
me
about
was
duquesne,
university
and
upmc,
with
paul
gitnick,
offering
to
do
a
program
to
clear
the
titles
for
free
it
wouldn't
take
it
out
of
city
council's
hand.
It
would
keep
it
where
the
and,
when
I,
when
I
get
nervous
when
you
take
something
out
of
our
hand,
it's
because
then
we
are
the
only
voice
for
the
community
and
you
can
say
you're
going
to
listen
to
the
community,
but
I
think
that's.
K
K
The
council
wants
to
stall
or
delay
something
the
council
wants
to
make
sure
our
residents
continue
to
have
a
voice
in
this
process,
and
one
of
the
reasons
I
get
concerned
is
because
the
I
have
two
communities
and
it
was
because
of
government's
involvement
that
they
were
decimated
and
when
I
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
have
happened
into
fairywood,
it
was
not
city
council
that
decided
that
it
would
not
build
housing
there.
It
was,
it
was
out
of
our
hands,
and
so
we
didn't
have
a
say
in
or
we
couldn't
fight.
K
I
wasn't
here
at
the
time
or
I
would
have
fought,
but
we
couldn't
fight
for
our
residents
when
they
needed
something
so
that
that's
that's
a
huge
concern.
What
I
did
do
is
I
worked
for
pittsburgh.
Public
schools
at
the
time
and
helped
them
with
the
lawsuit
don
dugler
would
come
in
my
office
and
use
the
computers
there
would
talk,
but
I
wasn't
able
to
be
a
voice
for
them
here
on
council
and
I
would
have
fought
like
hell
for
them
and
now
same
with
sheridan
somebody
went
to
jail.
K
I'd
bring
this
up.
All
the
time
went
to
jail
for
what
government
did
in
sheridan.
So
when
I
have
concerns,
I
remember
miss
nixon
from
fairywood
used
to
say
all
the
time:
it's
a
land
juice
honey.
They
want
the
land,
they
want
the
land
and
I
she
said
every
meeting
and
I
thought
why
did
she
say
that?
Well
then,
I
got
here
and
I
realized
it's
a
land
use
issue
and
they
want
the
land,
and
so
I'm
going
to
be
really
cautious.
K
I'm
never
going
to
vote
to
take
council's
voice
away
because
that
is
taking
away
the
voice
of
the
public
I'll,
never
vote
to
do
that.
So
what
I
will
say
is
I
would
love.
I
would
love
to
move
the
properties.
I
understand
that
there's
some
concerns,
but
truly,
I
think
when
people
talk
about
moving
the
properties,
what
people
really
want
in
their
neighborhoods
for
the
most
part,
is
for
us
to
fix
up
the
properties
for
us
to
maintain
the
properties
for
us
to
get.
K
You
know
good
home
ownership
in
some
of
the
properties
and
we're
doing
that
right
now,
through
the
ura
and
through
some
other
projects,
not
necessarily
they
want
us
to
untangle.
The
titles.
Take
our
vote,
their
vote
away,
their
voice
away
our
voice
vote
away
and
turn
those
properties
into
developments
in
some
areas.
K
They
do
in
some
cases
they
might,
but
not
in
every
case,
and
I
think
that's
given
a
blank
slate
to
an
entity
that
does
not
have
a
voice
of
the
public
on
it
and
it
just
definitely
does
not
have
the
people
that
were
elected
to
represent
that
area
on
it.
So
I'm
going
to
say
I'd
like
to
hold
if
members
want
to
wait
and
have
further
discussion,
if
you
want
to
hold
for
public
hearing
or
in
a
brief
in
briefings,
anybody
else.
K
Okay,
that's
right
now,
okay-
and
I
do
want
to
say,
can
I
just
say
I
will
also
add
that
I
know
that
councilman
lavelle,
councilman,
burgess
and
councilman
wilson
do
a
tremendous
job
on
the
land
bank,
but
there
are
people,
let's
be
clear.
There's
people
on
that
land
bank
that
are
some
of
the
biggest
property
owners
in
the
city
through
their
organizations
and
there's
there's
a
lot
of
concern,
some
of
the
things
they're
involved
with
now.
K
J
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
councilman
lavelle
councilwoman,
president
smith
and
councilman
bobby
wilson
for
their
work
on
the
land
bank.
I
have
been
quiet
for
many
years
about
the
land
bank.
I
also
want
to
thank
my
chief
of
staff,
marita
bradley,
who
has
worked
tirelessly
behind
the
scenes.
Over
these
several
years.
J
I've
been
quiet
about
the
land
bank
for
two
reasons:
one
it
was
the
brainchild
of
our
previous
mayor
and
two
as
a
board
member.
I've
been
very
careful
about
my
public
conversation,
but
if
we're
going
to
go
down
this
road
and
say
the
land
bank
is
a
failure,
then
I'm
going
to
lay
down
my
marker
so
that
we
will
all
remember.
J
I
said
from
the
very
beginning
that
the
way
the
land
bank
was
structured
would
not
work.
I
introduced
a
legislation
that
would
work
counter
to
my
advocacy
counter
to
my
advice.
We
went
down
a
process
that
I
said
from
day.
One
would
not
work.
I
said
it
loudly.
I
said
it
clearly,
it
would
not
work.
It
did
not
work.
J
We
tried
to
do
something
which
was
impossible
to
do
in
our
current
structure
and
we
were
met
with
with
withhold
up
from
people
inside
the
administration,
including
the
law
department
and
former
members
of
the
real
estate
department,
who
were
hostile
to
the
land
bank's
work,
and
so
we
spent
four
or
five
years,
as
I
predicted
fighting
internally
as
a
city
again,
this
is
my
first
time
saying
this
publicly
and
I
watched
that
process
and
I
said
from
the
beginning.
This
was
what
would
happen.
J
It
happened
exactly,
as
I
told
you
it
would,
and
now
we've
moved
to
a
realistic
process.
Now,
over
the
last,
probably
what
two
years
now
we
changed
the
complete
structure
of
the
land
bank.
It
became
the
land
bank
that
I
advocated
for
the
very
beginning,
and
now
it
can
actually
function.
That's
number
one:
two,
the
ura
has
contributed
close
to
a
million
dollars
for
land
for
clearance
of
title,
one
of
the
reasons
that
they
want
to
move
it
to
the
land
bank.
J
Is
we
have
dedicated
money
specifically
for
clearing
title
which
the
city
does
not
have?
We
have
a
million
dollars
in
a
reserve
for
almost
close
to
a
million
dollars
to
just
clear
title.
So
if
it
comes
to
us,
we
will
clear
the
title,
because
we
have
dedicated
funds
and
a
dedicated
agency
to
do
that.
That's
so
so.
The
first
thing
is
the
the
land
banks.
Failure
is
predictable,
it
was
it
was
ex.
It
happened
the
exactly
way.
J
I
said
it
would
happen,
and
so
until
we
changed
to
a
more
to
a
plan
which
I
advocated
for
from
the
beginning,
now
it's
actually
working
and
I've
been
quiet
about
it.
I
haven't
tried
to
boast
or
or
say
I
told
you
so,
but
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
failure,
I'm
going
to
tell
you
why
it
didn't
happen
in
my
exact
role
in
it.
Second
of
all,
we
have
the
money
in
the
land
bank
now
to
clear
title.
J
Third
of
all
and
most
importantly,
and
I
think
we
need
a
briefing
props
from
the
land
bank,
the
land
bank
has
also
a
very
detailed
disposition
process,
very,
very
detailed,
more
than
the
city
more
than
the
ura
at
this
point,
so
that
it
is
absolutely
impossible
for
the
land
to
be
transferred
out
of
the
land
bank.
Contrary
to
the
public's
interest,
it's
almost
impossible
to
happen.
Our
our
guidelines
are
just
a
disposition,
is
to
detail
for
that.
J
Last
but
not
least,
what
differs
to
the
land
bank
from
the
city
is
this:
once
we
get
the
land
the
land
we
are
by
law
required
to
maintain
it.
We
cannot
hold
it
and
let
it
sit
idle.
So
if
it
goes
in
the
land
bank,
it
will
be
clean.
The
grass
will
be
cut,
there'll,
probably
be
a
fence
up,
because
we're
required
by
law
to
maintain
the
properties.
J
So
you're
not
going
to
see
any
large
movement
of
land
from
the
city
into
the
land
bank,
because
it
would
make
it
too
too,
too,
cost
prohibitive
for
us
right.
We
same
reason:
the
city
doesn't
maintain
it.
We
can't
maintain
it
with
the
land
break.
Is
designed
to
do
and
the
other
thing
is,
the
land
bank
is
really
not
designed
and
we
can
use
it.
It's
really
not
designed
for
squirrel
hill.
South
side
flats.
J
Shady
side
mount
washington,
mostly
it's
not
designed
for
those
communities.
The
land
bank
is
an
engine
designed
to
go
into
places
where
the
market
is
not
at
home.
Wood
alarm
numbers
the
market's
coming,
but
lincoln
limington
parts
of
the
hill
parts.
The
north
side
bell
sewer,
that's
going
to
be
the
land
banks
targeted
area,
most
of
our
transactions.
Lastly,
and
again,
we
need
to
probably
have
a
briefing,
so
you
can
get
caught
up
with
the
new
landmate.
J
The
first
thing
we're
working
with
the
property
reserves,
hoping,
though
helping
those
local
community-based
organizations
clear
the
title
on
projects
they
have
already
submitted
on
land,
they've
already
asked
for,
and
we've
approved,
but
they've
not
been
able
to
take
titles,
because
it's
not
clear
and
their
prop
and
their
their
program's
not
fully
funded,
and
so
I
think,
I'm
okay
with
the
hold.
I'm
simply
saying
that
I
think
we
need
to
get
as
a
council
up
to
speed
with
the
changes
that
the
land
bank
has
which
are
pretty
radical
over
the
last.
J
Probably,
I
think
it's
18
months
two
years,
something
like
that-
probably
18
months
or
so
I
get
because
of
kovic.
J
I
I
lose
my
time
frame
but
get
caught
up
with
the
new
land
bank,
what
it
does,
how
it
does
it
and
why
it
is
in
many
ways
the
engine
that
we
can
utilize
to
move
these
properties
quickly
in
areas
where
there
has
been
disinvestment
and
that's
the
primary
goal-
and
I
think
homeownership
is,
I
think,
and
I'm
doing
it
for
memory,
I'm
pretty
sure
land,
local,
I'm
pretty
sure
home
ownership
by
low
and
modern
income
communities,
income
people
is
the
number
way
the
number
one
priority
of
the
land
bank.
J
That
is,
you
get
the
land
first,
if
you're
a
lower
modern
income,
buyer
wanting
to
to
to
be
home
ownership
and
use
that
land
for
homeownership,
I'm
about
90
sure
in
our
bylaws.
That's
the
first
priority
you
get
the
first
priority
of
that
land.
Even
if
your
your
bid.
This
letter
is
lower
than
other
developers,
so
so,
let's
have
the
briefings,
I
will
order
requests
or
there's
a
store.
J
I
will
request
the
land
bank
administrator
to
come
in
and
and
provide
you
with
an
overview
of
the
new
land
bank
and
how
it
functions
our
disposition
process
so
that
we
all
get
more
comfortable
with
that
in
mind,
we'll
be
able
to
intelligently
amend
this
in
this
current
piece
of
legislation
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
comfortable
and
it
does
what
we
all
wanted
to
do.
So,
I'm
not
I'm
not
I'm,
not
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
hold.
J
Q
Briefly,
just
something
to
that
sure,
of
course,
I
would
just
add
a
point
which
I
made
earlier,
but
I
think
salient
the
one
that
you
made
the
same
same
group
of
neighborhoods
that
you
named
in
your
comments
are
also
the
ones
in
which
we're
seeing
the
greatest
number
of
conservatorship
cases,
which
is
a
newer
development,
since
the
land
bank
was
established
and
has
emerged
kind
of
on
the
same
timeline
as
the
exchanges
you
you
raised
in
the
land
bank's
procedures,
and
I
just
I
will
note
that
that
adds
a
unique
sense
of
urgency
in
some
of
these
cases
in
order
to
maintain
public
and
community
control
on
some
of
these
parcels.
Q
K
I
just
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion.
I
want
to
hold
for
a
post
agenda
and
a
public
hearing,
but
I
think
councilwoman
gross
wants
to
hold
the
bill.
So
I
want
to
make
a
motion
to
for
a
public
hearing
and
post
agenda
now
that
councilman
gross
make
the
motion
to
hold
for.
However
long
well,.
K
N
You,
mr
chair,
so
separately
from
councilman
smith's
motion
for
post
agenda
and
public
hearing.
I
think
that
we
should
allow
some
time
to
have
the
kinds
of
briefings
that
members
have
been
asking
for,
so
that
we
can
have
more
full
some
understanding
of
all
the
different
moving
parts
here.
What
is
the
co-op
agreement
with
the
land
bank's
priorities
and
come
up
to
speed,
as
councilman
burgess
suggested,
so
our
motion
to
hold
this
bill
for
three
weeks?
N
K
B
Any
opposed
will
be
held
three
weeks
that
exhausts
our
agenda
for
today
we
do
have
announcements
and
then
we'll
take
your
motion.

You

call

412-255-2138.
K
Yes,
I
just
want
to
say
that
my
concerns
are
not
with
the
land
bank,
but
they
are
with
the
ura
and
and
overall
just
leaving
city
council
out
of
this
equation.
But
when
you
talk
about
cities,
you
know
community
groups
and
cdcs.
K
I
I
just
always
keep
in
mind
that
I
turned
one
into
the
irs
and
the
fbi
and
they
shut
up.
They
were
shut
down.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear,
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
trust
there.
So,
with
that
said,
I'd
like
to
have
a
motion
for
to
for
a
public
hearing
and
a
post
agenda.
I
I
Coghill,
yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
revert
back
to
the
tito
house
and
make
sure
my
position
is
clear
on
historic
preservation.
I
love
historic
preservation.
I've
restored
properties
myself.
I
encourage
it,
but
the
way
we
go
about
it.
This
is
clearly
an
infringement
on
property
owners
rights
unless
that
property
owner
knew
when
they
purchased
that
place
that
it
was
going
to
be.
You
know,
put
up
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh
as
historic
preservation
and
not
being
be
able
to
use
for
its
intended
purposes.
I
Then
you
can
make
a
case,
but
what's
more
frustrating
is
our
historic
preservation
uses
as
a
stop
gap?
Okay,
historic
preservations
that
I
know
of
they
actively
go
out
and
they
look
for
people
or
places
that
want
to
be
preserved
and,
more
importantly,
they
come
with
a
little
bit
of
money
in
their
pocket
that
they
can
make
a
difference.
When
you
come
to
the
table-
and
you
say
you're
going
to
stop
this
property
owner
or
two
and
god
knows
what
they
might
need
the
money
for
they
could
need
the
money
for
for
hospital
bills.
I
They
could
need
the
money
for
groceries.
They
could
need
it
for
a
new
boat
that
doesn't
matter
to
us,
okay,
we're
infringing
on
their
rights.
If
we're
going
to
have
a
historic
preservation
used
as
a
stop
gap,
they
should
raise
money
or,
if
members
here
feel
it's
important
enough
dedicate
money
from
the
city
of
pittsburgh
to
for
their
coffers,
so
we
can
buy
them
out
ourselves.
So
it's
like
we
either
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
or
we
get
out
of
the
game
of
stopping
property
owners
from
selling
their
homes.
I
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
I
love
historic
preservation
again,
I
support
it
all
the
time,
but
when
a
homeowner
doesn't
see
it
coming
and
they're
blindsided
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
it's
wrong
and
I
think
we're
liable
to
be
sued
in
every
case,
and
I
I
can't
imagine
that
we're
not
going
to
be
so.
That's
all
thanks.
B
Thank
you
anything
else
from
members.
If
not
motion
to
we
did
corey
wasn't
here
most
into
excuse.
