Next,
we
will
move
on
to
public
comment.
Is
there
a
list
of
registered
speakers.

To
inter-individual
criticism
for
anyone
to
test
than
being
closed
by
coercive
individual
Authority
for
no
one
to
test
I
think
that
the
compatibility
between
science
and
democracy
is
high
by
scientism
I
mean
the
abuse
of
information
in
disinformation.
Intentional
changes
in
the
information
and
intelligence
subverted
via
evaluation
of
claims
by
appeal
to
Fabrications,
more
subjective
than
objective,
more
grounded
in
internal
emotions
and
prejudices
than
external
actions
of
living
and
non-living.
H
Things
more
closed
due
to
appeal
to
authorities
than
open
to
communal
challenge,
I
think
that
the
compatibility
between
scientists
and
man
autocracy
is
high.
I
think
that
critical
race
theory
is
more
scientistic
than
scientific.
That
intersectionless
theory
used
by
this
Council
and
by
this
Mr
Gainey
is
also
scientistic.
Less
scientific
in
its
foundation.
I
think
that
we
are
sending
a
message
to
the
children
who
were
here
yesterday,
really
wonderful
that
that
they
are
here.
H
They
are
the
center
of
what
I
do
I
think
they're
the
most
important
people
in
the
world,
but
where
were
the
African-American
kids
were
the
Latin
American
Kids,
the
Asian
American
kids
next
time?
Let's
just
fill
this
room
all
over
the
place
with
children
who
represent
diversity,
you're
really
focused
on
being
diverse.
You
say
that
over
and
over
and
over
again,
but
where
were
they
all
right,
Eunice
Newton
foot,
1856
published
a
paper
CO2
and
H2O
she
said,
is
the
reason
for
what
we
now
call
the
greenhouse
effect.
H
J
J
Those
who
oppose
the
property
owners
of
foreign
on
June
20th
2022,
the
detrimental
Bon
Air
School,
building,
worsened
into
being
a
disruptive
and
business
property.
We
have
objected
to
apartments
or
anything
other
than
a
green
space
to
replace
the
school
tear
it
down.
The
building
is
a
magnet
to
youth
who
broke
in.
In
addition
to
trespassing
three
of
the
seven
had
to
be
escorted
out
of
the
building.
Tear
it
down.
Other
neighborhoods
have
been
blighted
with
words,
do
not
allow
it
to
happen
to
Bon
Air.
J
J
The
Pennsylvania
state
constitution
says
that
government
was
created
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
We,
the
People
decisions
and
options
that
harm
the
people
are
not
acceptable.
There
are
elected
and
appointed
officials
that
have
proven
themselves
to
be
enemies
upon
air,
but
is
not
advisable.
J
Mayor,
Gainey,
councilman,
College,
Hill
and
state
representative
Dunham
have
all
pledge
to
help
Bonaire
get
rid
of
our
detrimental
school
property
and
replace
it
with
the
green
space.
The
memorial
Green
Space
will
be
beneficial
to
all
ages
and
stages
of
people,
a
beautiful
calming
place
to
enjoy
fruit,
trees,
flowers
and
birds.
Well,
the
rest
of
city
council
promote
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Bon
Air
neighborhood.
J
The
school
board
has
proven
itself
as
detrimental.
Will
you
be
part
of
the
solution?
Other
people
deliberately
discouraging
and
thwarting
public
commenters
waiting
for
the
last
hour
to
send
Zoom
login
information
seems
to
suggest
that
I've
registered
the
week
before
and
do
not
get
login
data
or
confirmation
till

ahead
body.
K
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Jody
McLaughlin
and
I'm.
A
former
resident
of
Pittsburgh's
north
side
I
presently
live
in
Westview,
where
I
am
a
board
member
and
volunteer
for
the
Westview
Hub,
which
operates
a
food
pantry
currently
serving
between
500
and
600
households.
Roughly
10
percent
of
these
households
live
on
Pittsburgh's
north
side,
which
we
assume
is
due
to
the
accessibility
via
the
number
eight
Perrysville
bus
route.
I
am
also
a
food
Justice
fund,
Committee
Member.
K
Firstly,
I
would
like
to
thank
Council
for
continuing
to
include
the
food
Justice
Fund
in
the
2023
budget.
Three
million
dollars
is
significant
seed
funding
to
begin
rebuilding
an
equity
focused
food
system
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
As
a
public
health
graduate
student
focusing
my
studies
on
Food
Systems
I
can
attest
to
the
significant
need
for
such
a
fund
in
Pittsburgh
regarding
the
social
determinants
of
Health.
K
In
addition
to
contributing
to
rebuilding
food
systems
based
on
specific
Community
needs,
these
programs
are
capable
of
economic
growth,
such
as
creating
jobs,
improving
Public
Safety
and
improving
physical
and
mental
health.
Secondly,
I
would
like
to
assure
the
council
that
there
are
individuals
and
organizations
ready
and
willing
to
work
with
the
city
to
make
this
fund
a
success
for
an
example
it
in
its
proposal,
shared
with
the
mayor's
office
and
with
Council,
the
food
Justice
fund
committee
presented
a
plan
taking
cues
from
existing
models.
K
One
such
example
is
the
proposed
governance
and
advisory
committees
which
are
modeled
after
the
city's
Housing
Opportunity
fund.
Lastly,
I
believe
the
city's
investment
in
the
food
Justice
fund
is
the
initial
step
in
its
sustainability.
It's
a
call
to
action
to
Regional
government
businesses,
entrepreneurs,
foundations
and
philanthrop.
K
L
Good
morning,
thank
you
Council
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
today.
My
name
is
Stephen
O'brien
I'm,
a
resident
of
Pittsburgh
and
an
anti-hunger
and
nutrition.
Advocate
I
come
before
you
this
morning
in
support
of
the
food
Justice
fund
and
want
to
thank
Council
for
its
support
of
it
yesterday.
But
we
need
to
make
sure
that
it
is
fully
funded
at
3
million
dollars
in
2023..
L
I
also
want
to
take
a
few
moments
to
share
why
I
support
the
food
Justice
fund,
the
United
States
Department
of
Agriculture
defines
food
insecurity
as
a
lack
of
consistent
access
to
enough
food
for
every
person
in
a
household
to
live
in
active,
healthy
life
and
active
and
healthy
life.
We
know,
thanks
to
the
city's
2020
feed
Pittsburgh
report,
that
one
in
five
pittsburghers
struggle
with
food
insecurity
every
single
day.
That
means
one
in
five
pittsburghers
lack
the
necessary
food
to
live
a
healthy
and
active
life.
L
L
L
The
food
Justice
fund
will
support
the
development
of
a
robust
and
Equitable
food
economy
that
will
benefit
all
90
neighborhoods.
Our
proposal
will
support
projects
that
create
new
businesses
and
jobs
while
increasing
access
to
healthy
food.
Let's
just
look
at
the
outcomes
of
Philadelphia's
food
Justice
Fund
in
2019
and
2020
15
projects
receive
funds
that
supported
seven
Urban
agriculture
sites,
six
healthy
food
stores,
five
community
meal
training
and
workshop
sites,
and
four
planning
processes
in
the
creation
of
three
new
small
businesses
before
us.
L
Today
we
have
an
opportunity
to
lift
up
our
residents,
tackle
food
insecurity
and
begin
the
process
of
rebuilding
our
food
system.
Please
support
the
food
Justice
fund
and
ensure
that
it
receives
the
three
million
dollars
in
2023.
There
is
a
plan
we
have
the
means
to
support
that
plan
and,
more
importantly,
there
is
Community
Support
to
actually
make
it
happen,
but,
most
importantly
to
me,
we
have
a
moral
obligation
to
tackle
this
hunger
crisis,
and
this
is
the
way
to
do
it.
Thank
you.

We
just
had
an
example:
here's
a
man
who
comes
and
wants
three
million
bucks.
We
have
a
new
wonderful
person
in
charge
of
City
assets,
but
where
is
the
priority
going
to
be?
Is
the
priority
going
to
be
within
the
budget
or
is
the
priority
going
to
be
in
the
total
dollars
that
are
brought
to
bear
on
the
problems
of
this
community
I
for
one
participated
in
over
a
million
dollars
of
non
non-tax?
Revenue
wow
wait
a
minute
non-tax
Revenue
that
goes
back
to
2003.
M
M
C
O
Name
is
Yvonne
F
Brown
I
live
at
715,
Mercer
Street,
that's
up
in
the
Hill
district,
the
senior
citizen
home
at
the
top
of
the
hill
first
I
want
to
start
off.
I
protest,
I
protest,
the
meeting
didn't
start
till
10
40.
your
rules
say
if
you
don't
start
by
10
30
that
it
should
be
scrapped
and
I
said
it
should
be
scrapped.
Now
he
sits
down
at
10,
40
and
says
rule
eight.
No
he's
talking
about
yeah
I
think
he
said
about
the
rule.
Eight
rule
eight
is
they
can
change
it
anytime?
O
O
The
bus
to
come,
you
just
ride
your
cars
and
you
wanted
to
come
on
time.
I'm
telling
you
I
worked
with
lawyers,
and
if
these
lawyers
they
work
with
poor
people
and
I,
saw
how
they
cared
for
them.
They
used
to
come
to
us
black
people
and
asked
us.
What
do
you
think
about
so-and-so?
Yes,
white
people
make
the
decision
for
all
black
people
and
I'm
using
black
and
white,
because
I'm
tired
of
you,
because
I'm
black
and
dark
I
get
treated
differently
than
what
Miss
gross
the
white
princess
to
make
the
decision.
O
You
just
need
to
understand
why
I
don't
like
her.
She
made
the
decision
her
and
perduto
when
they
said
the
new
policeman
would
come
up
in
every
District.
I
was.
O
With
Marty
Griffin,
he
said:
why
should
he
I
said
he
should
hear
us
and
he
should.
We
should
hear
him.
They
did
not
do
it
when
they
got
rid
of
Chief
Harper
Dave
Fields,
who
has
cars
down?
He
has
a
lockdown
on
Fifth
Avenue.
The
cops
came
down
Who
you
gonna
call
he
used
to
call
whenever
they
would
mess
with
him.
They
tasered
that
man
they
went
in
this
building
where
he
worked
at
his
and
tasered
him
he's
a
black
businessman
and
he's
dark
and
pecker,
and
he
was
old,
see
when
we
get
older.
O
You
just
throw
us
away
like
trash,
then
we're
nothing
but
Imma
still
keep
coming
and
I
want
everyone
to
use
to
know
that
I
may
not
be
able
to
do
anything,
but
before
when
you
get
ready
to
die,
you
God's
gonna,
look
in
your
face
and
you'll
have
to
answer
for
what
you've
done
and
you
have
messed
this
city
up.
It
was
messed
up
the
last
people
when
I
told
him
I
said
they
had
all
the
lawyers.
Three
lawyers
I
said
we
don't
need
lawyers,
we
need
common
folks.
O
Well,
we
got
you
calling
folks
and
you're
looking
out
for
yourself,
especially
Bruce
everyone.
That
said,
you
should
be
president
of
a
council
and
once
you
became
president
of
accounts,
remember
said:
I
said
because
he
knows
I
know
he's
been
mistreated,
a
long
time
and
then
once
I
came
and
once
I
did
and
when
you
asked
me
to
find
you
a
lover
and
I
guess
when
I
didn't
find
you
a
white
man
or
a
black
man,
you
started
hollering
at
me
when
I
turned
my
head,
he
asked
me
to
find
him
a
lover.
O
O
N
P
P
P
I
don't
have
to
worry,
but
the
remaining
of
the
the
the
to
live,
the
rest
of
their
life
in
peace
without
having
to
worry
about
getting
raw
or
beaten
and
living
in
fear.
It
is
not
fair.
All
I
need
is
someone
a
pro
bono,
an
attorney
I've
already
done
all
the
work
I
went
to
the
law.
Library
I
just
need
someone
to
walk
with
me
and,
and
so
I
can
present
what
I
have
already
found
that
they
are
operating
against
the
law
by
not
having
Security
in
the
building.
P
Anyone
can
come
in
people
sleeping
downstairs
that
don't
pay,
rent
and
all
I
need.
Someone
to
do
is
come
and
stand
with
me.
I
have
already
presented
the
law
that
they
cannot
go
against
when
I
moved
in
there
they
had
security.
They
cannot
just
take
it
away
from
Seniors
like
that.
That
is
against
the
law.
I
just
need
someone
to
stand
with
me
and
present
this,
so
we
can
get
security
in
the
senior
buildings.
There's
a
building
on
Center
Avenue,
the
Legacy
they
had
security.
P
You
cannot
go
in
that
building
without
identification
and
you
leave
your
ID
there
until
you
leave
now
what's
wrong
with
the
picture
that
we
can't
get
the
same
thing,
each
senior
should
be
treated
the
same
way.
No
one
should
be
held.
Someone
has
to
be
held
accountable
for
that
83
year
old
woman
to
go
wrong
beaten
in
a
hospital
intensive
care
for
three
weeks,
no
one's
being
held
accountable
for
someone
mistreating
the
seniors
and
I
am
very
upset
about
that.
That
burden
is
heavy
I'm
caring
for
the
seniors.
P
We
have
to
have
some
security
there.
They
cannot
just
take
security
away
from
people
and
once
they
have
it
in
that
building,
they're
supposed
to
remain
they're
supposed
to
stay
in
the
building
I.
Thank
you
very
much
for
listening
to
me
and
I
need
a
pro
bono.
Someone
sent
me
an
attorney
just
to
walk
with
me
to
be
beside
me.

phone
number

A
Q
Hi
good
morning,
my
name
is
Bill
schlachter
I'm
zooming
in
here
from
Mount,
Washington
and
I.
Just
wanted
to
touch
base
on
two
quick
topics
for
today,
which
is
one,
is
the
goal
regarding
short-term
rental
and
the
other
one
is
regarding
the
capital
budget,
specifically
around
lighting
the
first
one
on
the
short-term
rental
I've
spoken
numerous
times
on
this
issue,
and
this
came
up
because
of
a
public
safety
issue
and
just
general
concern
in
the
community.
Q
Around
airbnbs,
taking
over
the
neighborhood
and
I
would
encourage
Council
to
look
at
primary
residents
as
specific
language
in
the
bill.
As
that
is
really
important,
it
will
keep
airbnb's
resonance
and
not
turn
it
over
to
corporations
as
they
are
buying
up
our
neighborhoods,
specifically
on
Mount
Washington,
wow
and
councilwoman
Tracy
cal
Smith
also
had
mentioned
the
need
for
primary
residence
and
additionally,
in
that
bill.
Q
I
would
urge
that
we
look
at
multi-units,
that
are
say
five
units
or
more
when
you
have
airbnbs
in
all
these
places,
that's
really
a
hotel
and
you
need
to
really
distinguish
between
that
and
an
Airbnb
place,
because
it's
it's
not
fair
to
the
community
when
a
place
is
owned
for
residency,
not
for
hotels
and
you
have
an
Airbnb
scheming,
basically
is
a
hotel
that
really
needs
to
be
looked
at
and
on
the
second
issues
around
the
capital
capital
budget.
Q
There's
been
some
discussion
around
lighting
and
medical
usage
of
debt
and
I
think
this
is
important
sort
of
angle
to
look
at
I
think
both
are
really
critical
in
2019
I
believe
19
million
dollars
was
proposed
for
the
use
of
lighting
for
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
was
implemented
and
I.
Think
that's
that's
really
important,
because
lighting
is
critical
to
stopping
crime.
I
think
we
all
have
seen
that
in
bad
lighting
and
in
good
lighting.
Q
There's
big
differences
in
where
crime
takes
place,
so
I
would
urge
you
to
be
more
creative
on
your
thinking
about
lighting
and
using
medical
debt
also
is
not
going
away.
Unfortunately,
how
about
using
the
savings
from
good
lighting
and
putting
that
towards
a
fund
for
medical
debt
I'd
also
encourage
thinking
about
more
creative
ways
to
get
our
big
quote-unquote
non-profits
involved
in
our
city,
for
example,
world-class
lighting
lacks
on
our
City
bridges.
Q
We
need
that
how
about
having
big
corporations
such
as
UPMC
and
Highmark
each
sponsor
a
bridge
and
then
take
the
savings
of
the
lighting
from
that
and
put
it
towards
a
medical
debt
fund.
We
need
to
get
our
corporations
or
our
non-profits
involved
in
our
city
in
a
more
impactful
way,
and
we
need
to
be
more
creative
about
the
usage
and
the
savings
from
our
lighting,
because
that
is
an
important
topic
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
that
exhausts
our
list
of
speakers,
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
standing
committee
agenda
just
for
the
Publix
notification.
We
did
indeed
start
late
today,
but
it
was
not
because
members
were
not
present.
Our
first
and
primary
focus
of
our
job
is
to
manage
the
city,
the
city's
fiscal
resources,
and
so
members
were
here,
but
members
were
also
meeting
to
discuss
how
to
most
appropriately
manage
our
resources
today,
as
we
go
through
our
budget,
so
I
just
wanted
to
provide
that
clarification.
A
I'll
also
ask
for
members,
patience
as
I,
hopefully
manage
us
getting
through
our
budget
correctly.
Today,
with
that,
our
first
committee
is
finance
and
law,
which
is
chair
by
myself.
We
have
one
supplemental
paper,
Bill
1065.,
Bill,.
D
1065
resolution
authorizing
and
interdepartmental
transfer
in
the
amount
of
264
805.53
from
the
bureaus
of
administration
and
animal
care
and
control
in
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
to
the
Bureau
of
police.
This
transfer
is
necessary
to
assist
the
Bureau
of
police
with
sufficient
funding
for
necessary
body.
Armor
replacement.
B
B
R
I
So
I
can
take
that.
Basically,
we
were
just
it's
just
a
fun
transfer
of
balances
that
are
left
from
the
2022
budget,
so
some
unexpended
budgeted
Monies
to
pay
for
and
put
towards
the
prioritized
project
of
new
body
armor.
So
body
armor,
for
this
is
actually
body
armor
for
art
special
units.
I
It's
a
little
more
significant
than
the
standard
body
armor.
The
officers
wear
every
day
that
body
armor
has
a
shelf
life
of
about
five
years.
After
that
it
expires.
We
have
to
replace
it
so
about
five.
I
We
received
some
Grant
monies
and
some
monies
for
that
body
armor.
We
are
now
in
the
replacement
cycle,
so
we're
looking
to
do
that
using
this
money
rather
than
waiting
we're
still
going
to
order
next
year,
but
we're
going
to
cut
the
PO
earlier.
B
Right,
so
anyone
who
might
have
concern
that
we're
not
adequately
funding
animal
care
and
control.
What
I
hear
you
saying
is
that
what
is
necessary
to
appropriately
fund
animal
care
and
control
has
indeed
been
issued.
These
are
additional
funds
that
it
that
can
be
reallocated
and
you're
reallocating
them
to
by
the
body
armor
for
police
officers.
I
B
R
Curious,
the
specialty
units
there's
six
full-time
SWAT
members
and
probably
a
total
of
we'll
say,
40
to
50
part-time
members.
So
each
member
of
the
Union
has
to
be
outfitted.
B
That
was
going
to
be
my
next
question
if
it
was
for
like
Squad
and
things
like
that,
so
we're
talking
about
maybe
55
units
for
the
cost
of
about
264.,
with
a
shelf
life
of
about
five
years
and
a
responsibility
to
make
sure
we
cycle
in
to
replace
those
as
necessary.
Yes,
good.
You
know
that's
good
to
know
that
helps
us
to
understand
how
to
budget
for
those
things
appropriately,
I'm
happy
to
support
I'm,
glad
you're
here
and
I'll
relinquish
the
floor.
Thank.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
thanks
for
for
coming,
so
I
just
want
to.
Of
course,
you
know
this
body.
Armor
is
critical
and
we
need
to
use
the
money
right.
We
don't
leave
money
on
the
table.
That's
important!
It's
but,
and
I
also
understand
that
at
the
end
of
the
year
in
the
public
sector
in
the
private
sector,
you
know
we're
all
sort
of
scrambling
to
spend
our
budget
right
before
the
year
runs
out,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
for
animal
control,
certainly
in
well.
F
Just
a
few
weeks
ago
we
had
we
had
David
Madden
here
talking
extensively
about
how
how
little
funding
he
has
in
animal
control
and
I
can
say.
Certainly
for
my
constituents,
I
mean
I,
just
I.
You
know
in
in
Hazelwood,
in
the
31st
and
really
in
every
neighborhood.
Well
Greenfield
as
well.
F
Animal
Control
is
an
issue
right
I.
We
just
got
an
email
from
a
woman
who
there's
an
abandoned
building
next
to
her
full
of
raccoons,
and
she
has
a
raccoon
in
her
crawl
space
in
her
house.
She
needs
traps,
I
mean
and
as
as
always
right
with
so
many
things,
it's
it's
shortfalls.
In
other
areas
that
of
course
fall
on
Public
Safety
his
shoulders
right
to
deal
with
so
I.
And
you
know
we
have
the
deer
problem
in
in
the
Parks
and
Squirrel
Hill.
So
so
Animal
Control
is
top
of
mind
right
now.
F
I
understand
we
don't
want
to
leave
money
on
the
table
right,
so
we're
going
to
use
this
money
we're
going
to
buy
this
body
armor,
because
we
need
it,
but
in
the
coming
year,
if
we
can
really
make
sure
that
every
dollar
that
is
allocated
to
animal
control
is
used
in
a
timely
manner,
so
that
so
that
a
department
that
is
so
strapped
for
funds
doesn't
find
itself
at
the
end
of
the
year
with
more
than
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
funds
that
it
is
not
able
to
use,
because
it's
like
a
scramble
in
the
last
month.
I
Yeah
absolutely
I'll
also
know
that
we're
actually
taking
149
from
animal
care
and
control.
The
115
000
is
from
public
administration's
budget
directly,
but
as
we
go
through
the
budget
year
and
through
the
cycle,
we
work
with
OMB
as
we
get
towards
the
end
of
the
year.
We
all,
as
you
said,
we
don't
leave
money
on
the
table,
but
we
do
look
at
anything
that
needs
to
be
adjusted
for
future,
like,
for
example,
Workforce
training.
We
have
three
thousand
dollars
left
in
that.
I
We
then
go
back
to
Dave
and
say
what
are
the
chances
of
you
using
that
3000?
Next,
like
you
had
3
000
extra
that
wasn't
used
was
that.
Why
was
that?
Why
did
that
happen?
You
know
that
sort
of
thing
and
readjust
where
those
monies
go
and
potentially
do
transfer
sooner
or
even
in
advance
of
the
budget.
So
we
don't
have
overages
unnecessarily
in
I.
I
B
Round
councilman
cross
only
an
OfferUp
councilman
I'll
be
happy
to
work
with
you
on
that
to
make
certain
that
those
those
necessary
supplies,
I
apologize,
I,
get
a
lot
to
Hilltop
neighborhoods
raccoons
traps,
lack
of
our
ability
to
supply
them,
I'm
happy
to
work
with
you
in
the
new
year
to
make
certain
that
those
things
indeed
come
to
fruition.
Thank
you,
I'm
good
thanks.
Thank.
S
D
A
Opposed
affirmative
recommendation
now
for
Bill
943:
this
is
our
facility,
rental,
Bill,
Bill,.
I
D
To
enter
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
until
the
facilities,
usage
agreement
or
agreements
during
the
2023
calendar
year
for
the
purpose
of
Permitting
groups
to
rent
city-owned
facilities
for
recreational
and
Community
focused
activities
in
individual
amounts
not
to
exceed
ten
thousand
dollars.
Motion.
E
This
isn't
the
facilities
fees,
this
isn't
the
fee
schedule.
The.
A
C
E
E
Thank
you.
Can
we
have
someone
come
to
the
table.
A
B
Is
it
just
oh.
G
E
E
Could
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
this
because
I
would
be
honest,
I
think,
right
now,
PL
and
I
every
time
somebody
comes
to
us
with
a
complaint:
it's
because
they're
getting
hit
with
more
and
more
fines,
more
and
more
fees,
I'm,
sorry
more
fees
and
that
it
is
causing
their
project.
That
was
you
know
something
minor
to
be
something
major
and
so
I'm
concerned
about
what
we're
doing
to
the
public.
When
we're
doing
some
of
this
stuff.
T
Or
and
if
I'm
a
director
kinter
is
here
as
well,
if
I.
T
E
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
be
I.
I
have
some
concerns
about
the
increases
and
I
actually
have
some
concerns
about
the
ones
that
aren't
even
increased,
because
some
of
them
are
still
high,
and
you
know
the
fact
that
residents
are
calling
and
saying
that
they're
coming
back
I
know
for
some
projects.
They've
come
back
so
many
times
it's
taken
years
before
they
got
their
permits.
Honestly,
if
it
weren't,
for
you
know,
mayor
Gainey
and
Jake
Wheatley
meeting
with
the
Jasmine
irie
campus
in
Sheridan,
they
would
still
be
waiting
for
apartments.
E
Do
we
have
a
I
think
we
should
have
some
conversations
council
members
ourselves
about
what
these
fees
are
and
what
are
what's
happening
with
our
residents
when
they
get
hit
with
some
of
these,
and
you
know,
they'll
come
back
and
they
have
to
do
another
another
plan,
an
architectural
rendering
and
I
mean
sometimes
it's
for
minor
things.
So
I
just
think
we
really
need
to
have
a
real
conversation
and
then
just
even
the
rental
for
some
of
the
facilities
I
mean
it's
a
lot.
E
I
mean
Shenley
Park,
the
Vietnam
shelter
373
dollars.
That's
all
that's
a
lot
of
money
for
a
resin
to
for
property
they're
paying
taxes
on
so
you
know
they're
paying
for
and
I
asked
before.
If
we
could
give
a
discount
to
residents
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
because
in
my
I
I
border,
the
most
boroughs
and
in
Greentree
they
have
a
sign
on
one
over
the
parks
said
no
City
Pittsburgh
City
residents
allowed
and
yet
they
come
and
use
our
Deck
Hockey
and
our
Banksville
facilities
all
the
time.
E
E
U
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Mr
chair.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
had
questions
about
the
the
page
that
begins
with
city-owned
building
structure
facility
usage
fee
per
day,
which
looks
like
it's
all
brand
new
fees
is
that
correct.
U
T
Sure
so
these
feed
proposals
are
related
to
the
public
safety
administration,
the
the
kind
of
Shifting
of
special
events
into
film
and
permit
coordination
and
then
special
events.
T
This
is
what
the
film
industry
has
been
obviously
doing:
a
lot
of
work
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
when
they
use
public
our
public
facilities
and
spaces,
it
requires
a
lot
of
accommodations,
and
so
these
fees
are
really
meant
to
recoup
the
cost
of
what
it
takes
for
City
staff
to
manage
these
these
filming
days.
Okay,.
U
So
I
see
that
it
is.
There
is
a
whole
section
on
the
page
before
special
events
and
film
fees,
and
these
are
just
additional
under
that
category.
Yes,
correct,
okay
I
was
going
to
make
a
point
about
right-of-way
closure.
This
is
specific
to
filming,
I,
get
it,
but
broadly
I
would
love
to
see
in
the
future
higher
fees
for
right-of-way
closure,
even
just
for
a
lane,
almost
like
a
per
day
fee
foreclosures
and
planes.
U
When
we
have
one
construction
project-
and
this
is
Domi
I
know
we
have
director
Luca
sitting
back
there,
but
you
know
in
the
future
I'd
like
to
discuss
what
we
can
do
to
increase
the
fees
for
lane
closures.
When
you
have,
you
know,
within
the
same
neighborhood,
several
different
I'm
thinking
about
Oakland,
several
different
developments
happening
all
at
once.
You
have
multiple
Lanes
closed
down.
U
It
really
does
hamper
the
ability
to
to
travel
safely,
and
so
I
would
like
to
to
discuss
that
possibility
within
if
there
is
time
to
do
it
within
the
span
of
time,
when
we
have,
you
know
a
time
for
adjustments
for
this
year
great
if
it's
for
next
year,
that's
fine
too.
T
All
right,
if
I
may
add,
council
person
working
in
the
Department
of
Finance
every
August,
Late
July
early
August,
is
when
the
Director
of
Finance
sends
out
the
fee
schedule
with
to
all
departments
and
from
there
we
really
work
through
to
make
sure
that
fees
are
appropriate.
Like
I
said
that
they're
recouping
the
necessary
City
costs.
T
A
Thank
you,
councilman
cockhill,.
B
Thank
you,
I
guess.
My
question
is
for
you
Mr
chair.
If
we
were,
for
some
reason
not
to
approve
the
fee
schedule
today,
does
it
well.
Let
me
let
me
start
here
much
of
what
I
see
is
exactly
the
same.
As
last
year,
I've
only
been
able
to
find
one
that
has
either
increased
or
is
known
in
its
snowmobile
daily
rental
that
went
up.
That's
the
only
one
I
can
find,
and-
and
forgive
me
I
mean
I
just
briefly
went
through
this,
but
I
can't
find
any
that
have
gone
up
now.
B
B
B
It's
sort
of
the
the
I
hearken
back
to
when
I
was
self-employed
and
ran
a
business.
It's
just
the
cost
of
doing
business.
There's
a
there's,
a
cost.
That's
involved
in
providing
the
service
we're
not
permitted
to
make
profit,
but
we
have
to
cover
our
costs
for
providing
that
service,
and
so
the
determination
is
is
what's
a
reasonable
cost.
We
need
to
recoup
for
providing
that
service.
That's
all
that
is,
but
I
I
would
hate
for
us
to
find
ourselves
in
a
position
where
we
can't
take
preliminary
vote
on
the
budget.
B
I
I
can't,
if,
if
we
do
end
up
passing
this
today,
okay.
F
Just
one
quick
and
it's
not
entirely
related
to
the
fee
schedule,
but
just
regarding
fees,
because
it's
something
that
I've
noticed
when
we
get
a
permit
for
a
park
space
for
a
shelter
right.
I've
done.
Does
this,
for
example,
for
a
birthday
party
right
when
you
go
on
the
website,
for
example,
I
rented,
the
Forbes
and
Braddock
for
my
kids
birthday
party
and
I
really
only
needed
it
for
two
hours
right.
F
But
when
I
went
in
to
book
it
I
was
only
able
to
book
it
for
the
entire
day,
not
just
the
shelter
but
also
the
baseball
field.
So
it's
like
I
blocked
for
the
entire
day
on
a
weekend
that
that
whole
park
and
nobody
else,
could
you
know
when
I
only
needed
it
from
like
whatever
four
to
to
six,
so
in
terms
of
increasing
but
right.
F
If,
if
someone
else
could
have
booked
it
in
the
morning,
and
maybe
I
mean
for
all
I
know,
there
was
a
little
league
team
that
couldn't
play
baseball
that
day
because
I
had
booked
and
in
addition
to
that,
it
makes
it
hard
to
book
book
and
right,
like
there
were
other
like
I,
had
a
preferred
playground,
but
it
was
booked
and
maybe
it
was
booked
because
there
was
one
person
who
needed
it
for
one
hour,
so
just
FYI
on
that
maybe
a
place
to
yeah.
Okay.
Thank
you.
E
E
E
Do
because
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
how
many
people
can
afford
375
dollars
to
rent
the
West
End
Park,
shelter
that
live
in
the
West
End,
they
could
run
a
building
in
craftonboro,
there's
a
place
that
people
rent
and
it's
200
and
includes
the
alcohol
license
and
everything,
and
it's
a
beautiful
facility
and
that's
right
down
the
street,
so
I
think
we're
probably
pushing
our
residents
to
to
the
borough
and
the
same
with
the
North
Hills
Ross
Township
has
a
great
place.
E
That's
it
for
me:
I'm
I'll,
just
I'll
I'll
abstain
today
and
then
over
the
week,
work
with
you
councilman
on
changing
some
of
these
fees
and
making
sure
that
we're
also
making
sure
the
process
when
people
are
applying
for
permits
for
Po
and
I
that
they're
not
coming
back
from
them
to
them.
City
Planning,
whoever
it
is
that
keeps
sending
them
back
over
and
over
again
increasing
their
cost
of
everything.
E
They're
trying
to
do
in
the
city,
I
think
when
people
are
doing
work
in
their
home
for
the
most
part
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
we
should
be
making
it
easier
for
them
to
fix
fences
fix
their
properties,
their
porch
fix
things
on
the
front
of
the
house
so
that
that
way
we're
encouraging
people
to
do
their
homes.
Instead,
we
we're
using
it
for
fees
and
increasing
I.
Had
a
woman
in
Elliot
a
couple
years
ago.
She
replaced
two
slats
in
her
fence
outside
she
got
cited
by
PL
and
I.
E
Meanwhile,
down
the
street
was
a
business
operating
with
neon
signs
signs
on
the
sidewalk
blocking
pedestrians
from
walking,
not
one
citation,
but
the
resident
who
had
the
fence
got
a
citation
and
then,
when
she
fought
it,
they
went
after
for
her
occupancy
permit
and
said
she
didn't
have
an
awk
permit.
Her
fixing
her
fence
cost
her
a
ton
of
money
just
because
she
was
trying
to
do
the
right
thing.
So
I
think
we
have
something
really
backwards
here
and
I
think
really
I
mean
I
I.
It's
my
understanding.
E
We
don't
have
to
use
the
current
codes
that
we're
using
for
Pio
and
I
and
so
I
wonder
if
we
can
change
some
of
those
things.
A
V
V
You
know:
I
had
a
recent
customers
they're
just
like
at
their
wit's
end.
They
just
they
just
can't
believe
it.
They
have
to
go
to
court
and
but
everything's
settled,
but
they
still
have
to
go
to
court,
because
I
guess
the
inspector
was
obliged
to
submit
the
fine,
but
they
took
care
of
the
the
two
things
I'll
give
you
the
I'll,
give
you
the
I
think
afterwards,
but
and
then
like
Chong's
director,
you
know
Chong's
Brookline
Boulevard.
They
still
are
having
problems
with
this
occupancy.
V
Permit
I
don't
know
if
it's
them,
I,
don't
know.
If
it's
us,
oh
I
know
is
this
has
been
going
on
for
like
two
years
and
I'm
like
I.
Don't
know
what
to
do.
You
know
I
I
can't
walk
them
through
it.
I
have
my
own
issues
trying
to
get
through.
You
know
the
permit
fees,
so
so
I
would
love
to
see
it.
You
know
less
stringent
on
property
owners
as
to
what
they're
doing
around
their
house.
I.
Don't
know
what
that
looks
like
or
where
we
go
with
that.
V
But
you
know
it
just
seems
to
be
frustrating
A
lot
of
people
and
making
it
hard
for
them
to
do
anything
around
the
house,
so
which
is
my
thoughts
but
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
about
Chong's
afterwards
and
and
the
other
you
know
person
that
I
have
that's
having
issues.
Thank
you
director,
great.
Please.
W
Oh
thank
you
happy
to
assist
so
maybe
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
where
the
fees
are
coming
from
in
general
and
to
back
up
a
little
bit.
Pli
enforces
the
uniform
construction
code,
AS
adopted
into
Pittsburgh
city
code.
Pennsylvania
sets
the
uniform
construction
code,
so
they
adopt
the
model
codes
created
by
the
International
Code
Council.
Right
now
we
are
enforcing
the
2018
versions
of
you
know:
mechanical
building,
residential
Etc.
W
Our
fees
are
meant
to
recoup
the
costs
of
our
work.
So
in
2017
we,
the
city
through
the
Department
of
Finance,
worked
with
a
consultant
called
fiscal
source
and
what
we
did
is
we
measured
how
much
time
it
takes
for
us
to
do
different
tasks
that
are
related
to
the
permitting
process.
The
construction
permit
process
so
intake
review,
inspection,
closeout
and
those
are
requirements
again
to
meet
the
construction
code
requirements,
and
so
we
we
created
a
fee
schedule
based
on
that
review.
There
are
sort
of
two
national
models.
W
One
is
sort
of
a
flat
face
flat
fee
based
one
is
a
scaling
fee
base.
We
took
the
scaling
fee
approach
back
in
2019
and
our
fees
have
remained
the
same
since
2019..
In
this
budget.
We
have
asked
for
additional
resources
to
help,
especially
residential
homeowners,
so
we
did
ask
for
a
residential
inspection
unit.
W
We
recognized
that
our
commercial
permit
holders
or
power
users
of
the
system,
so
they
often
push
down
residential
inspections
in
the
list
because
they
understand
how
to
use
one
stop
PGH.
They
know
who
the
inspectors
are
versus
our
residential
customers,
who
are
really
maybe
just
fixing
that
deck
or
maybe
just
fixing
that
fence
and
through
this
residential
inspection
unit,
we
want
to
prioritize
and
allow
them
to
have
access
to
inspectors
and
inspections
in
a
very
fast
and
timely
manner.
The
other
thing
is
compliance
issues
that
can
come
with.
W
You
know
performing
some
minor
alteration
work,
but
then
covering
up
the
work
so
that
the
the
inspector
can
attest
to
the
Code
Compliance.
So
if
we
have
a
fast
turnaround
time
with
inspections,
we
hope
to
accomplish
that
the
fee,
the
fees
that
we
have
in
the
fee
schedule
cover
the
costs
of
our
request
to
make
that
process
better
in.
W
In
terms
of
of
fences,
as
as
Council
knows,
pli
is
the
enforcement
body
for
the
Department
of
City
Planning
as
well,
and
so,
if
there
is
a
zoning
non-compliance,
plis
issuing
citations
related
to
that
and
requiring
compliance
through
that
process,
we've
improved
our
permit
times
over
the
years
our
review
times,
we've
issued
guidance
to
design
professionals
so
that
they
have
a
checklist
of
what
is
required
and
what
we're
looking
for
on
our
designs
to
meet
construction
code
requirements
so
I,
you
know
we
are
making
strides
in
making
that
a
transparent
process,
but
there
is
certainly
a
barrier
to
entry.
V
Okay,
yeah
I
I,
don't
think
it's
the
fees.
I
necessarily
have
issues
with
it's
the
process.
Whether
it's
can
be
simplified
or
you
know
the
one
stop
I
I
get
it
I.
I
now
learned
how
to
you
know
get
through
that,
but
a
lot
of
my
elderly
neighbors.
They
they
don't
know
that
they
they
need
a
desk.
They
need
to
talk
to
somebody
and
be
like
what
do
I
have
to
do
to
get
this
done
so,
okay.
Well,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
appreciate.
It.
E
You
and
first
of
all,
director
I
know
that
it
seems
like
I'm
attacking
you,
I'm
attacking
the
process.
I
think
that
it
is
it's
a
horrible
process.
It's
my
understanding.
We
don't
have
to
do
use
that
code
for
the
residential
area.
Could
you
come?
No?
Could
you
talk
about
what
your
now
you
come
sit
here
at
the
table?
Please
and
introduce
yourself
for
the
public.
S
Dan
friedson
the
solicitor
for
city
council,
as
distinct
from
I,
don't
represent
the
municipal,
Corporation
yeah,
so
I
would
defer,
of
course,
the
law
department
for
a
final
say
on
this.
But
that
said,
my
understanding
is
the
international
property
maintenance
code
which
doesn't
affect
the
issues
that
councilman
coghill
raised
about
building
a
fence
or
a
deck.
S
So
our
hands
are
somewhat
tied
and,
of
course,
I'd
refer
to
director
kinter's
understanding
of
the
process
as
well.
But
if
we
wanted
to
go
off
the
uniform
construction
code,
our
option
would
be
to
make
it
stricter
and
we
would
also
have
to
apply
to
the
Department
of
Labor
and
Industry
for
our
version
of
that
code
and
they
would
have
to
approve.
E
To
so
I,
don't
like
the
code
as
it
is,
I
really
do
I
think
it's
horrible
and
I
think
maybe
we
should
start
doing
some
work
in
that
area
with
the
state
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
to
people
that
I
know
on
the
state
level,
but
I
do
think
that
the
fees
are
really
ridiculously
high.
There's
nothing
in
the
code
that
says
you
have
to
keep
charging
them
and
you
have
to
keep
doing
things
to
you
know
recoup
your
cost.
E
You
know
I
think
sometimes
the
residents
feel
like
they
paid
their
costs
when
they
paid
their
taxes,
and
so
there
has
to
be
some
understanding
of
some
common
sense
and
I
really
feel
like
we're
missing
that
part.
We're
charging
people
just
far
too
much
for
all
these
things
for
the
facilities
for
the
parks
for
and
honestly
I'm
laughing.
When
I
see
some
of
these
facilities
well,
I
should
see
perfect
paint.
E
I
should
see
air-conditioned
units
for
some
of
the
cost
of
some
of
the
some
of
these
parks
and
some
of
the
facilities
and
I'd
like
to
I'm
going
to
take
time
this
week
to
work
on
this
with
councilman
Krause.
A
A
A
That
will
now
move
us
on
to
bills
if
we
could
rebuild
945
and
946
together.
Those
are
our
procurement
bills.
A
U
Second,
discussion
I
wanted
to
just
ask
because
we've
there's
a
lot
coming
at
us.
Have
there
been
additional
amendments
to
these
bills
since
yesterday,
no.
A
Okay,
so
all
those
in
favor
of
the
bill
on
the
bill,
as
amended,
say
aye.
C
A
Aye
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation.
Thank
you
so
now,
that'll
take
us
to
Bill
948
and
again
we
will
need
to
amend
this
bill
to
include
council's
operating
amendments
from
yesterday
operating
amendments,
one
through
ten,
the
mayor's
Personnel
amendments,
amendments
1-14
and
the
mayor's
non-personnel
amendments.
Amendments,
one
through
seven,
will
be
amended
into
Bill,
948..
Richard
approve.
Sorry,
sorry.
D
B
B
B
A
A
B
B
I
understand
that
we
were
off
on
that.
Forgive
me
so
we
we
were
just
sideboarding
sidebarring
out
there
about
the
Amendments
that
made
that
we
made
yesterday
and
the
the
agreement
to
reverse
what
we
did
yesterday
is
that
happening
in
this.
A
B
A
Approving
councils
operating
amendments,
one
through
ten
ten
being
new
today,
which
is
the
salary
increase
in
the
accurate
right
depiction
of
that,
which
was
the
numbers,
were
run
last
night,
including
mayor,
the
mayor's
Personnel
amendments
bills
1-14,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
non-personnel
amendments,
Bill
one
through
seven,
so
emotional
to
amend.
Yes,.
U
I
realize
what
we're
doing
here,
we're
we're,
bringing
it
in
line
with
the
other
salaries
that
have
been
adjusted
per
our
amendments.
Yesterday.
That
said,
it
was
my
impression
that
Council
was
not
allowed
to
vote
on
its
own
salary
increases
and
I.
We
learned
the
painful
lesson
last
year.
I
want
to
be
clear
of
what
we're
allowed
to
do,
what
we're
not
allowed
to
do
prior
to
taking
this
vote.
A
A
So,
just
while
our
Council
solicitor
gets
himself
together
and
I'll,
ask
him
to
obviously
introduce
himself
in
Council
answer
a
question
councilman
strasburg's
question.
This
is
the
three
percent
adjustment
and
this
accurately
reflects
the
numbers.
Part
of
the
reason
why
we're
holding
a
public
hearing
on
Saturday
is
so
that
the
public
has
the
opportunity
to
actually
speak
towards
the
fact
that
the
adjustments
that
we're
making
for
ourselves
so
that
we
are
legally
in
line
with
what's
allowable
but.
S
Sure
thank
you
and
to
directly
answer
your
question.
What
the
home
Rule
Charter
says
is
that
one
of
your
powers
is
to
vote
for
your
salary
right.
It
says
to
fix
by
resolution
the
salary
of
all
elected
officials.
That's
a
explicit
power
of
counsel,
so
you
can't
vote
on
your
salaries.
However,
there's
rules
as
to
what
that
salary
increase
can
be,
and
that's
what
last
year
was
about.
C
S
S
You
received
this
morning,
then,
is
in
compliance
with
310
h,
which
was
part
of
the
kerfuffle
from
last
year.
C
S
In
addition
to
that,
as
councilman
Lavelle
had
said,
the
public
hearing
that
you
all
will
be
having
on
Saturday
will
be
the
Publix
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
actual
amended
language
of
the
budget,
which
is
a
new
thing.
But
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
public
got
their
opportunity
to
comment
before
we
voted
as.
C
U
That's
helpful
and
so
to
read
if
it's
within
a
certain
within
a
certain
limit
or
within
a
certain,
in
line
with
other
employees
of
the
city
as
a
whole.
We
do
have
this
power
yes,
now
not
to
introduce
something
but
again,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
all
eyes
are
dotted
teaser
crossed.
Is
there
something?
Is
there?
Is
there
a
law
at
the
state
level
that
contradicts
this
in
any
way
or
would
put
into
question
whether
we
are
indeed
allowed
to
do
this.
C
S
State
law
that
the
when
they
made
the
home
Rule
Charter,
they
took
the
state
statute.
That
applies
to
state
legislators
and
judges,
which
is
this
exact
same
language,
which
is
also
written
like
100
years
ago.
So
it's
not
exactly
plain
language,
but
nonetheless
it
is
the
same
laws
that
governs
the
state
legislature.
U
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I'm
sure
I
was
trying
to
reach
back
into
my
memory
from
nine
months
ago,
10
months
ago,
and
as
we
were
thinking
about
cost
of
living
increases
and
how
to
fairly
add,
you
know,
adequately
yeah.
S
Account
for
that
something
that's
interesting,
just
to
make
note
for
the
record
for
the
public
also
to
understand
that
this
language
also
applies
to
judges
and
in
that
context,
as
it
applies
to
judges,
cost
of
living
adjustments
are
a
different
animal
altogether
than
salary
increases
and
judges
have
a
special
statute
on
state
level
about
cost
of
living
adjustments.
But
legislators
and
lawmakers
don't
have
that
on
the
state
level.
S
Just
yet,
but
there's
an
argument
to
be
made
that
you
can
use
that
statutory
language
and
context
to
understand
what
this
diminishment
language
means,
and
that
is
one
of
the
historic
injustices.
I
would
like
to
see
corrected,
which
is
frankly,
there's
years
that
you
didn't
take
salary
increases
or
cost
of
living
adjustments
and
I
feel
like
it's
put
counsel
at
a
disadvantage.
We
need
to
pay
you
what
you're
worth
and
you're
worth
more
than
you're
getting
paid
right
now.
U
U
A
total,
so
that's
it's
not
not
as
significant
as
one
might
imagine.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
we're
all
good
there
understood.
A
Councilman
I
also
just
want
to
point
out
to
your
question
of
their
new
amendments.
1B,
which
is
affects
948
and
949,
is
also
a
new
Amendment,
but
it
merely
is
reflects
the
accurate
adjustment
of
the
three
percent
cost
of
living
adjustment
for
all
non-union
salaries.
C
A
A
It
president
Smith.
E
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
understands
I
have
it
in
writing
from
the
Law
Department.
What
we're
supposed
to
do
this
year
and
we
also
councilman
Lavelle
and
I,
and
our
budget
office,
requested
the
numbers
from
OMB
on
what
our
pay
should
be
and
last
year,
if
you
remember,
they
told
us
that
if
we
didn't
take
the
six
percent,
we'd
be
finishing
yeah
diminish
our
salary,
which
is
also
against
the
law.
E
S
A
lot
in
the
state
courts,
but
I
think
there's
a
fair
reading
of
it
to
say
that
failure
to
take
a
cost
of
living
adjustment
or
failure
to
take
a
salary
is
a
diminishment
of
the
position,
salary
and
the
idea
there,
as
with
judges
and
other
state
legislatures
is
we
want
you
to
be
financially
secure
and
independent
and
above
you
know
this,
the
sway
of
the
vulnerability
that
comes
with
basically
being
poor.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
salaries
match
the
Integrity
that
we
ask
of
you.
B
If
I
were
to
speak,
I'd
only
repeat,
what's
already
been
said
so
I
just
want
to
confer
with
everything
that
has
been
said
that
the
the
public
is
properly
informed
and
I
appreciate
you
being
here
solicitor
for
clarification,
but
if
we
did
not
make
this
adjustment
we
would
actually
be
out
of
keeping
with
what
was
determined
last
night
that
should
be
Our
obligation.
So
with
that
I'm
happy
to
vote,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilman
Wilson.
G
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I,
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
clearly
on
record
what
is
reflected
what's
being
reflected
in
this
amendment,
which
I'm
not
I,
apologize
if
it's
already
been
stated,
but
when
the
budget
was
sent
over,
it
was
sent
over
with
a
two
percent
increase
in
non-union
employees.
We
made
an
amendment
yesterday.
We
voted
on
those
the
line
item
to
increase
it
to
three
percent
for
all
non-union.
G
B
V
C
B
B
B
B
C
C
D
B
Emotional
brief
discussion.
Wait.
A
second
I
need
a
second
councilman.
Only
the
offer
Mr
chair,
you're
doing
a
hell
of
a
job
at
keeping
us
on
track
here,
and
we.
C
B
A
You
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,.
C
D
B
Approve
discussion
please
second,
so
Mr,
chair,
there's
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
around
this
and
it's
it's
been
very
helpful
and
it's
been
very
Prof.
It's
been
very
profitable.
Is
that.
B
To
work
collectively
to
work
through
and
I'm
sure,
there's
going
to
be
extensive
conversation
around
this.
Ultimately,
it
is
my
desire
to
restore
any
amendment
that
we
made
yesterday
to
what
it
was
originally
intended
to
be,
but
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
that
a
lot
of
members
are
going
to
be
wanting
to
be
engaged
with
my
question,
for
you
is:
how
can
you
how
how
do
how
undo,
how
do
we,
how
do
we
undo
and
then
possibly
there
might
be
some
requests
by
certain
members
to
redo
portions?
It
could
get
two.
A
Things
this
is
based
on
conversation
I'm,
assuming
this
will
probably
get
voted
down
today.
If
it
gets
voted
down
today,
we
will
need
to
make
an
emotion.
We
will
need
to
amend
actually
Bill
947
on
Mondays,
which
is
the
capital
budget,
we'll
need
to
amend
the
capital
budget
to
reflect
the
vote
that
takes
place
now.
B
A
Yeah,
please,
because
I
don't
want
to
speak
out
a
turn
but
yeah.
If
we're,
we
made
a
vote
to
amend
the
arpa
budget,
which
is
reflected
in
our
capital
budget.
If
we
take
an
another
vote
to
essentially
undo
that,
we
will
now
need
to
make
have
an
amendment
on
Monday
to
reflect
that
change
in
our
budget.
Unless.
B
A
B
Right,
I'm
not
looking
to
speak
for
members,
everybody
here
has
a
thought
process
by
which
I
think
they
want
to
be
heard.
My
my
hope
is
that
we're
actually
able
to
go
back
to
where
we
were
before
we
made
the
amendment
and
then
adjust
accordingly,
as
certain
members
may
wish,
or
may
not
wish
to
see.
The
adjustment
be.
X
X
I,
unless,
if
I
missed
it
I,
don't
think
anyone
has
made
a
motion
to
amend
this
bill
as
it
sits.
So
the
changes
discussed
yesterday
have
not
been
introduced
today.
Yet
so,
if
you
vote
it
down,
if
you
vote
the
bill
down
as
it
stands,
you'll
be
voting.
What
the
mayor
proposed
for
his
arpa
plan
wait.
B
B
So
what
we
did
yesterday
is
not
honest.
Their
problems
will
be
done
in
a
second.
So
what
we,
the
action
we
took
yesterday,
is
not
reflected
in
this.
There
is,
if
Council
agrees
collectively
we
could
pass
this
meaning
that
it
was
everything
that
the
mayor
sent
over
before
we
invented
yesterday
and
then
adjustments
that
members
may
wish
to
see
could
be
added
on
Monday.
That's
correct.
B
They
could
be
added
today
on
a
verbal
vote,
but
if
we
are
a
verbal
Amendment,
but
if
we
took
the
time
to
think
them
all
through
over
the
weekend,
we
could
collectively
offer
the
an
amendment
on
on
Monday
correct
so
where,
where
I
am
at
least
at
this
point
in
the
discussion
is
what
I
would
prefer
to
see
if
and
if
it
would
come
to
a
vote
this
way.
That
is
how
I
would
vote
to
just
pass
this,
as
is
work
collectively
among
ourselves,
to
come
to
some
level
of
agreement
for
money.
T
B
A
B
Y
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
this
amendment
on
the
yellow
seat
in
front
of
us
has
math
that's
incorrect
and
I.
Don't
know
how
much,
but
three
plus
three
plus
three
does
not
equal
7,
which
is
what
it
says
on
the
land
bank
row
and
so
I.
There's
that
one
mistake
but
I
wonder
how
many
more
there
might
be.
C
A
C
Y
Y
Y
So
I
also
have
enough
for
my
staff
that
they
are
under
the
impression
that
yesterday,
on
the
street
light
bill,
it
was
a
vote
to
table
and
I
said
no
was
it
we've
I
voted
no
on
the
4
million
transfer
and
five
of
members
voted.
Yes,
six
members
already
guessed
I'm.
Sorry,
three,
three.
Y
N
Hopefully
clear
but
brief
I'll
just
express
my
concerns
and
then
whatever
happens
after
that
happens,
no
one's
chatted
with
me,
either
from
the
administration
or
members
of
council.
So
I
can
only
tell
you
my
view.
A
couple
years
ago,
this
council,
with
councilman
Lavelle
myself
and
the
president,
made
a
commitment
to
a
land
bank,
primarily
because
if
it's
disproportional
impact
to
African
Americans
that
the
year
we
have
a
high,
we
have
a
housing
crisis
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
N
That
crisis
is
absolutely
has
been
documented
and
is
severe
and,
as
I
said
in
our
briefing
yesterday,
the
ability
now
to
build
houses
given
the
con.
Given
the
pandemic,
some
of
the
costs
have
went
up,
200
percent-
that
is
a
project
we
did
in
Homewood,
that
we
moved
59.
We
built
53
units
in
Homewood
that
had
a
gap
of
5
million
dollars
three
years
ago.
If
that
same
project
was
undertook
today,
the
Gap
would
be
14
million
dollars.
N
Three
years
ago,
five
million
dollars
was
the
Gap.
That
is
the
money
we
needed
to
build
58
units
for
low-income
housing
today
that
same
project
not
changing
at
all
because
of
the
cost
of
Labor
because
of
the
of
the
cost
of
construction
because
of
wood
prices
because
of
all
of
the
kovic
related
increases.
That
project
would
now
have
a
gap
of
close
to
14
million
dollars
in
order,
in
my
opinion-
and
it's
just
my
opinion-
to
take
money
away
from
affordable
housing
in
this
crisis
in
this
crisis,
atmosphere
disproportionately
hurts
African.
N
Americans
disproportionately
hurts
the
poor,
and
every
study
has
told
us
that
those
poor
and
those
single
mothers
with
children
are
disproportionately
African-Americans.
That's
why
I
have
never
supported
a
cut
in
the
land
bank.
That's
a
b
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
giving
money
to
the
food.
Justice
I
have
said
from
the
beginning:
it
shouldn't
come
from
upper
money,
still
doesn't
think
it
should
come
from
Harper
money.
They
have
no
plan,
they
have
no
real
African-American
inclusion.
N
They
have
this
day
in
many
ways:
they've
used
African-American
language
and
in
words
that
have
have
a
rich
tradition
in
our
culture
to
forward
a
plan
that
in
many
ways
was
not
and
I,
know
this.
For
sure
there
are
black
farmers
who
did
not
support
the
plan
and
who
thought
their
interests
were
not
taken
into
consideration
again,
I'm
not
going
to
make
that
argument
against
the
food
Justice
plan.
N
If
we
want
to
give
the
money
to
them,
that's
fine,
not
against
it,
but
it
should
not
come
on
the
back
of
building
housing
for
single
women
with
children.
It
absolutely
should
not
be
that
choice,
and
so
that's
why
and
so
I'm
not
against
the
food.
Justice
money
I'm,
not
against
medical
debt.
Money
I'm
for
all
of
it,
I
am
singly,
have
been
against
reducing
the
land
bank.
I
have
said
that
to
anyone
who
listens,
I'm,
not
go
it's
not
it's!
It's
what
I
believe
and
and
so
that's
my
stance.
N
My
stance
is:
we
should
fully
fund
the
land
bank
and
then,
whatever
else
we
want
to
do
lighting
food,
Justice,
Medical,
Care,
anything
else
that
we
want
to
do.
Let's
do
it,
but
we
know
for
a
fact
that
the
number
one
problem
facing
poor
people
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
housing.
There's
no
there's
not
even
a
question
about
that.
We
voted
as
a
council
that
housing
is
a
human
rights
issue.
We
voted
for
that.
N
We've
created
all
these
issues
to
take
money
away
from
affordable
housing
to
give
it
to
anybody
other
than
affordable
housing.
To
me,
Ricky
Burgess
is
nonsensical
and
so
I've
been
very
quiet
about
it.
But
that's
my
view,
and
so
this
is
something
we
do
oftentimes.
You
know
we
we
we
we
we
yeah.
We
have
to
make
these
choices
and
and
I
I.
You
know
I
congratulate
the
special
interest
groups.
N
I
can
graduate
the
food
policy
people
I'm
glad
that
you're
that
you're
strong
about
your
belief,
but
that
should
not
come
on
the
on
the
backs
of
something
else.
That's
important!
You
know
we
don't
we
don't
when
you
have
Starving
Children,
you
know
and
and
and
they
also
need
those
starving.
Children
also
need
clothing.
You
don't
say
we
have
to
take.
We
don't
want
to
give
you
less
food,
so
we
give
you
clothing.
No,
you
give
them,
you
give
them
the
food
and
you
give
them
the
closing,
and
this
should
be
a
both
ends.
N
If
you
want
to
give
the
money
to
food
policy,
not
against
that
I
have
some
some
and
I've
told
my
concerns
to
them.
Privately
of
my
concerns
a
lack
of
a
real
plan,
a
lack
of
a
real
program,
we're
putting
money
with
no
real.
We
we're
putting
money
in
a
fund
with
no
real
outcomes
without
any
real
Direction
theoretical
philosophical.
Perhaps
will
work
one
day,
two
three
years
from
now
with
no
real
program
and
in
all
my
times
of
doing
programs,
I've
always
done
the
program.
N
First,
I've
always
designed
and
the
program
have
the
outcomes
and
have
the
people
in
place
then
funded.
There's
one
of
the
first
times
I've
seen
us
fund
something
that's
theoretical,
Without
Really,
any
real
Direction,
no
real
staff,
no
real
outcomes,
no
real
plan,
no
real
project.
But
again,
that's
not
my
issue,
not
against
it.
Give
you
the
money.
Fine
good
luck
to
you,
but
we
should
not
take
it
from
affordable
housing.
V
V
The
amendment
was
made
yesterday
nobody's
going
to
introduce
it
today.
So
then
it
reverts
back
to
what
the
mayor
originally
sent
over
three
million
dollars
from
the
land
bank,
correct,
correct,
okay,
I'm
for
that
I
understand
what
you're
saying
rev
as
far
as
making
the
land
bank
whole
and
I'll
be
committed
to
that.
But
I'd
like
to
see
two
things
number
one:
food
Justice
fund.
You
know
we
want
to
see
a
plan
and
we're
going
to
start
by
meeting
today
so
as
to
how
and
where
they're
going
to
spend
those
funds.
V
Likewise
with
the
land
bank,
you
know
if
the
land
bank,
which
I
think
we
all
desperately
want
the
land
bank
to
be
successful,
I
think
we
need
them
to
be
successful.
I
think
seven
million
dollars
is
a
great
start,
but
you'll
have
my
commitment.
Moving
forward,
if
we
can
see
a
plan
and
a
good,
you
know
good
way
to
purpose
this
money.
You
know
I'll
be
supportive
from
here
or
not.
V
I
will
tell
you
so
so
so
we
we're
back
to
the
beginning
and
I
know
councilman
Wilson
also,
you
know,
has
his
medical
leave.
He
wants
to
fund
and
I
think
we
found
a
way
for
that,
but,
as
of
today,
we're
not
going
to
introduce
the
amendment
we're
back
to
3
million
coming
from
the
land
bank.
V
E
So
I
think
it's
you
know
it's
it's
almost
like
when
we
pit
our
one
neighborhood
against
the
other,
trying
to
find
the
perfect
solution
and
I
think
it's
unfortunate
that
we're
in
this
situation
and
I
think
that
you
know
if
we
had
different
responses
from
the
county
DHS.
If
we
had
some
more
help
on
different
levels
of
government,
where
we
could
have
money
for
housing
have
money
for
food,
we
wouldn't
be
pitting.
E
One
need
against
another
I
do
have
an
amendment
later
on
we're
going
to
introduce
that
will
make
sure
that
we
get
a
plan
from
the
food
policy.
Council
and
I
know
that
they
have.
They
say
they
have
a
plan,
and
so
they
have
to
submit
it.
If
they
don't,
then
the
money
will
revert
back
to
the
land
bank.
It
will
stay
in
the
land
bank,
it's
giving
them
six
months
to
do
so.
E
They've
had
a
year
and
a
half,
they
may
have
a
plan
and
I
believe
that
they
do
because
I'm
on
a
lot
of
the
emails,
but
they
have
to
share
it
and
have
it
approved
by
Council,
and
if
not,
then
the
money
should
not
go
to
anyone
who
can't
be
accountable
for
it
and
can't
make
sure
that
Council
was
aware.
E
We
should
not
be
allocating
public
dollars
to
anyone
without
some
accountability
period,
I
don't
care
who
they
are
I,
don't
care
who
they've
lobbied
I,
don't
care
what
they
do,
because
we
can
also
allocate
three
million
dollars
just
to
the
food
bank
and
everybody
would
be
fed
so
and
give
them
a
fund.
So
I'm
just
saying,
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
some
responsibility
with
that.
As
far
as
the
land
bank,
you
know,
I
talking
with
Reverend
Burgess
I'm,
actually
confident.
E
Now
that
they're
going
to
spend
the
money
that
they
have
and
need
more
because
we
do
want
to
put
in
some
co-op
housing
and
we're
talking
now
about
you,
know
the
how
they
would
purchase
the
properties
so
they're
going
to
spend
that
money
and
I
think
probably
as
quickly
as
they
possibly
can,
because
it
will.
It
will
help
us
with
the
house,
the
homeless
population
that
we're
experiencing
in
the
city.
E
Also,
as
I
mentioned,
the
housing
co-op
in
Sheridan
their
homes
go
for
around
thirty
thousand
and
they're
beautifully
maintained,
beautiful
homes
and
low
crime.
It's
a
it's
just
a
it's
a
it's,
a
good
Pro
a
good
place,
and
it's
a
good
thing
to
do.
I
think
all
of
us
want
to
do
what's
right
for
everyone
and
I
mean
we
all
like
we're
all
bleeding
hearts,
and
we
all
want
to
help
everyone
and
often
do
out
of
our
own
Pockets
I.
E
Think
that
we're
sitting
here
pitting
one
you
know
need
against
another
is
just
terrible.
I
mean
the
food
policy.
Council
does
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
in
our
city
and
got
us
through
a
pandemic
and
did
food
distributions
during
that
pandemic.
When
other
people
didn't
want
to
be
around
people,
they
were
out
Distributing
food,
the
farmers,
the
things
I
think
I
see
the
this
funding
going
towards
councilman
Cog,
Hill's
Farm,
the
food.
You
know
the
farm
in
Sheridan
Park
and
doing
things
across
the
city.
E
I
see
I,
see
this
being
used
in
a
in
a
good
way.
I
also
see
the
land
bank
being
used
in
a
good
way,
so
I
think
we
should
really
look
over
the
budget
and
try
to
find
that
Gap
funding
that
the
the
land
bank
needs,
but
the
administration
is
also
talking
to
people
about
creating
a
I
talked
about
this
yesterday,
some
type
of
Social
Service
fund
that
it's
not
pitting
taking
our
dollars
from
away
from
where
we
need
to
be
directing
them.
E
It
would
be
helpful
too,
but
I
I
want
to
be
honest,
I
think
everybody
says
stuff
about
the
land
bank
and
how
it
it
hasn't
been
successful
and
I've
got
I'm
one
of
the
people
that
made
it
not
successful,
because
every
time
Reverend
tried
to
take
money
from
foundations
or
someone
who
wanted
to
contribute
to
it.
I'm
like
they're,
not
touching
our
land
they're,
not
touching
only
so
I
was
the
one
who
always
said
no
we're
not
taking
that
funding,
because
I
didn't
want
private.
E
You
know
groups
controlling
our
public
land,
so
it
was
for
me
it
was
a
policy
issue,
so
I,
just
I
didn't
feel
comfortable
with
it.
So
I
don't
want
to
hear
him
or
councilman
Lavelle
taking
heat
for
something
that
they
really
probably
could
have
gone
up
and
running.
If
it
wasn't
for
me
A
lot
of
times
so,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
did,
the
public
was
engaged
in
so
that
it
was
a
different,
but
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
had
land
moving.
E
So
I
think
you
know
there
was
different
different
goals
there.
So
with
me,
I
I'm,
just
going
to
I'm
I'm,
okay
with
moving
the
land
bank
now
with
a
commitment
that
will
work
towards
towards
something
because
I
do
know
how
how
much
this
can
benefit
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
If
we
do
it
right,
but
I
think
now,
I'm,
okay,
returning
the
money
out
of
the
out
of
the
lighting
funds.
E
Well,
can
I
just
I
just
I
do
want
to
add
I'm,
sorry,
real,
quick
that
and
even
with
the
medical
bills
with
that
that
that
million
dollars
I
didn't
vote
for
that.
Yes,
I
didn't
vote
for
any
of
it
yesterday,
but
I
want
to
say
it's
not
that
I'm
opposed
to
that
either
I,
but
I'm
opposed
to
is
not
having
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
it
or
I'm
opposed
to
is
feeling
the
pressure
to
to
approve
something
without
having
the
opportunity
to
discuss
publicly
with
the
public.
E
No
we're
spending
a
million
dollars
on
that's
not
really
on
in
our
purview
and
that
I
know
that
councilman
Wilson
is
trying
to
do
something.
You
know
really
amazing
to
help
a
lot
of
residents
and
I.
Think
that
that's
that's
admirable,
but
I
also
think
the
public
wants
their
due
process.
They
want
to
hear
what
we're
spending
a
million
dollars
on.
E
They
want
to
hear
what
we're
doing
and
so
I
think
that,
having
a
conversation
about
that
and
and
waiting
a
little
bit
on,
that
should
doesn't
say
waiver
our
support
for
what
he's
doing
it.
It's
saying
that
we're
being
fiscally
responsible.
That's
all.
F
Yeah
thanks
so
I
just
just
wanted
to
quickly.
Just
with
regards
to
the
the
food
Justice
fund
and
and
African-American
support.
I
can
say
that
I
there
are
photos.
There
are
a
number
of
folks
in
Hazelwood.
Having
a
grocery
store
in
Hazelwood
is
a
top
priority.
If
there
are-
and
you
know
we
were
all
here
or
most
of
us
were
here
for
the
hearing
there-
there
are
a
number
of
African
Americans
involved
on
the
food
policy
Council.
F
Now,
if
there's
anyone
who
feels
disenfranchised,
then
that's
absolutely
something
we
need
to
address,
but
I
do
want
to
just
clarify
that
that
it
is
the
same
community
that
needs
housing
that
also
needs
food
and
food
infrastructure
in
their
communities.
I
also
want
to
clarify,
too
that
the
concept
of
the
food
Justice
fund
is
not
just
an
extension
of
the
food
bank,
but
actually
creating
the
infrastructure
in
communities
so
that
the
food
is
available
right
is
available
in
whether
that
be
building
grocery
stores
or
creating
Urban
Farms
or
helping
expand
existing
Urban
Farms
right.
F
So
this
is
not
just.
This
is
not
an
extension
of
what
DHS
does
to
you
know:
to
give
food
to
people
in
need.
As
far
as
the
the
money
itself,
I
I
want
to
clarify
that
the
the
concept
the
The
Proposal
was
never
that
the
food
policy
Council
would
get
three
million
dollars.
So
the
the
the
proposal
is
that
there
is
a
fund
for
food
Justice
right
for
food
infrastructure,
so
it.
C
F
To
sort
of
put
it
on
the
shoulders
of
the
food
policy
Council
to
come
up
with
a
plan
to
spend
and
they
they
do
have
they've
actually
had.
You
know
lots
of
detailed
things
that
we
could
do
with
a
food
fund
right
and
they
have
done
that
work
and
that
that
that's
out
there,
but
you
know,
as
as
we
councilman
coghill
mentioned,
like
a
farm
in
his
that
wouldn't
be
the
food
policy
Council
who
who
runs
that
farm?
F
F
Maybe
one
person
working
for
the
city
that
that
addresses
food,
so
hiring
hiring
another
person
or
two
alone
would
take
more
than
you
know,
could
could
take
three
months
right
to
much
less,
putting
together
a
plan
as
far
as
affordable
housing
and
arpa
funds,
I
I
I,
we
can
see
I,
don't
know,
maybe
I
mean
you
can
there
are
other
funds
too
right?
It's
not
only
the
land
bank,
that's!
F
I
F
I
do
want
to
be
clear
about
that
and
as
far
as
the
the
the
lights,
my
understanding
and
I
don't
want
to.
Well,
maybe
director
Pollock
I,
don't
know
if
he's
here,
but
my
understanding
and
is
that
in
order
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
with
the
lights,
three
million
will
get
us
where
we
need
to
go
and
that
that
the
million
that
there's
still
a
million
for
you
know
we
can
talk
about
what
that,
whether
that's
the
the
rip
debt
Etc
anyway.
So
that's
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
before
going
on
to
the
second
round.
I'll
simply
add
one
I
concur
with
Reverend
Burgess
that
I
fully
support
the
food
Justice
initiative.
What
I
will
tell
you
is
when
I
ran
for
office.
The
number
one
issue
in
the
Hill
district
was
a
grocery
store.
It
was
a
documented
food
desert
and
I
ran
on
the
commitment
to
have
get
that
done.
It
took
four
years
and
it
cost
me
12
million
dollars
and
the
store
lasted
for
four
years,
and
then
it
shuttered
and
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
for
that.
A
So
I'd
be
more
willing
to
sort
of
talk
to
you
about
that
this
initiative
and
by
no
means
we'll
open
up
a
grocery
store,
but
there
are
other
unique
ways
and
we've
found
other
ways
to
have
food
delivered
for
free
to
families.
We've
worked
with
Giant
Eagle
to
provide
buses
to
the
community.
We've
set
a
farmer's
market,
so
we've
done
a
lot
in
order
to
provide
resources
around
food
in
this
area.
A
So
I
say
all
that
to
say
it's
an
issue
I
care
about,
because
I
ran
on
dealing
with
it,
but
at
the
same
time
I
don't
believe
we
should
take
from
housing
to
essentially
prop
that
up.
We
should
find
the
funding
to
do
so.
I'll
also
say
because
you
mentioned
you're
you're
correct.
A
There
are
additional
dollars
that
went
to
the
Ura
to
support
housing,
but
the
reason
we
created
the
Housing
Opportunity
fund
because
we
openly
acknowledge
that
there
was
nowhere
near
the
amount
of
resources
going
to
housing
that
was
necessary
and
although
the
10
million
dollars
are
now
12.5
is
admirable,
it's
still
hundreds
of
millions
short
of
what
we
need
to
actually
address.
Affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
point
as
well.
A
Second
round
councilman
cross.
Thank.
B
You
so
if,
if
members
will
permit
I'm
hoping
I
can
sort
of
bring
us
to
and
understanding
where
we
are
at
this
point
in
time,
if
we,
as
advised
by
our
budget
director,
vote
to
pass
951,
what
we
will
be
agreeing
to
is
a
seven
million
dollar
allocation
to
the
land
bank,
a
three
million
dollar
allocation
to
food,
Justice
and
four
million
dollar
allocation
to
the
lighting
project,
and
then
we're
we're
exactly
where
we
were
yesterday.
B
If
the
members,
whoever
the
members
might
be
wish
to
see
additional
amendments
added,
they
can
be
added
on
Monday
as
an
example,
and
only
as
an
example.
Councilman
Wilson
can
put
amendment
in
to
take
one
million
dollars
out
of
the
out
of
the
lighting
fund
for
the
medical
project.
I've
I've
told
to
be
perfectly
honest
and
upfront
with
the
councilman
I,
wouldn't
support
it
primarily
for
the
reasons
that
councilwoman
kale
Smith
has
with
it
I
do
believe.
B
The
councilman
will
have
his
votes,
though,
to
to
get
that
pass
and
do
what
he
needs
to
do.
If
someone
wished
to
see
a
correction
to
the
food
Justice
in
land
bank,
one
might
wish
to
offer
that
kind
of
an
amendment
on
Monday
as
well
too,
although
I
would
not
support
that
either
at
this
time,
I
just
to
be
upfront.
B
And
my
members
that
my
my
wish
is
to
leave
as
we
are
right
here
and
now:
7
million
in
the
land
bank,
three
million
in
food
Justice,
4
million
in
lighting
I
suspect.
The
councilman
will
indeed
offer
that
Amendment
on
Monday
and
I
do
believe.
I
have
the
votes
to
pass
that,
although
you
know,
as
I
said
in
all
honesty
and
transparency,
I
will
not
be
a
supporter
of
that.
B
C
B
B
N
Burgess
so
I'll
be
brief.
My
wife
keeps
telling
me
that
you
know
I
I
forget
that
I'm
old,
and
so
you
know
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we've
done
because
I've
been
doing
this
for
40
years,
people
under
40.-
don't
remember
you
know,
and
so
it
always
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
I,
don't
sound
like
the
Grinch
I've
spent
a
career
doing
food
stuff.
My
first
Ministry
at
our
church
was
the
food
bank.
I
operated
the
food
bank
in
our
church
for
close
to
35
years.
N
My
wife
and
I
did
monthly
food
to
the
high-rises
for
close
to
20
years
of
our
own
expense.
All
the
high
rises
in
Homewood
prior
to
becoming
member
of
council.
We
did
I
never
talk
about
this.
We
did
dinners
of
our
own
expense
once
a
month
to
the
high-rises
in
Homewood,
every
Christmas
for
the
last
20
years,
or
so
at
primarily
our
expense.
We
did
300
dinners
in
Homewood
for
Thanksgiving.
Instead
of
doing
Thanksgiving
ourselves,
my
wife,
my
father,
my
children,
we
spent
and
I
don't
talk
about
it's
just
the
ministry.
We
do.
N
We
did
300
dinners
in
Homewood
to
Thanksgiving
every
Thanksgiving.
We
would
eat
seven
eight
o'clock
at
night,
every
Thanksgiving,
my
wife
has
a
passion
for
and
the
reason
it
started
is
we
went
to
visit
people
in
in
high-rises
and
they
had
no
food,
and
so
we
started
when
I
had
an
agency.
We
did
the
same
thing
with
young
girls.
We
did
dinners
monthly
to
the
high
rises,
so
I
I'm,
not
against
I,
do
understand
in
in
Homewood
has
probably
one
of
the
largest
homeless
populations
in
the
city.
It.
N
Actually
it's
that
you
don't
see
it
because
they're
not
on
the
street.
There
are
houses
they're
on
people's
couches
they're
in
cars,
so
you
don't
see
them
but
they're.
There
I
am
acutely
I
love
food,
so
I
am
acutely
aware
of
the
need
to
create
more
food.
N
N
60
million
dollars
a
year
somewhere
between
40
to
60
million
dollars
a
year.
If
we
were
really
going
to
to
to
to
do
something
with
housing,
we
would
have
to
commit
new
money
and
really
change,
because
every
every
year
we
have
more
people
who
are
who
need
housing
right
every
year.
The
problem
goes
worse.
Every
year
we
have
more
people
with
new
housing.
The
real
number
is
probably
about
60
million
dollars
right.
That's
the
number
that
it
would
take
to
really
put
a
dent
in
the
housing
problem.
N
60
new
60
million
new
dollars
every
year,
and
we
just
don't
have
it,
and
so
that's
why
I
tend
to
be
very,
very
territorial,
whether
we
take
a
little
money
that
money
that
we've
already
committed
to
affordable
housing
when
I
see
that
taken
away,
I
tend
to
be
concerned
because
I
know
all
that's
going
to
do
is
is
is
have
less
housing.
You
know,
we've
done
that
in
multiple
ways.
The
Housing
Opportunity
fund
gives
money
to
pay
people's
rents
all
good
things,
but
it
doesn't
create
new
housing.
N
The
real
the
real
problem
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
there's
not
enough.
New,
affordable
housing
being
brought
online.
That
is
the
problem.
Is
the
problem.
I've
tried
to
fight
for
for
the
last
16
years
15
years,
and
that
is
it.
We
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
put
more
new
money
in
housing.
Now
this
may
not
be
the
this
may
not
be
it.
They
may
have
to
find
a
different
vehicle
and
so
I'm
not
I'm,
not
trying
to
change
anything.
N
I
will
say,
though
I
will
say
that
any
new
Amendment
for
my
support
will
have
to
include
I'm
not
going
to
take
any
money
away
from
this
current
budget.
That
does
not
include
also
more
money
for
affordable
housing,
because
affordable
housing,
in
my
opinion,
is
the
number
one
most
important
cause
of
poor
people
in
this
city.
I
represent
the
poorest.
I
represent
the
largest
amount
of
poor
people
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
the
largest
amount
of
African
Americans
and
I
can
guarantee
you
without
a
doubt.
N
Affordable
housing
is
without
a
doubt
the
number
one
because
because-
and
you
know,
we've
done-
food
I've
done
food
for
years.
Food's
important
I
love
food,
not
number
one,
and
in
fact,
if
you
do
a
survey
of
black
people,
it
won't
come
up
and
food's
good.
It
won't
come
in
top
three.
N
It
won't
be
a
top
three
things:
it
just
won't,
probably
won't
be
top
five
things:
it'll
be
housing,
it'll,
be
income,
it'll,
be
schools
and
it
will
be
violence
guaranteed
and
then
the
fifth
thing
will
be
land
use,
it'll
be
a
boarding
board
of
houses.
Vacant
Lots,
it
will
be
the
those
are
the
those
things
I've
just
listed
in
terms
of
poor
people
and
African
Americans.
N
Those
are
the
top
five
concerns,
and
so
so
so
so
so
I
just
want
to
lay
out
my
position
not
trying
to
argue
or
convince
anybody,
but
any
money
that
we
take
it.
Now
that
we're
going
to
go
back
to
square
one
I'm,
simply
saying
for
Ricky,
Burgess
I
won't
vote
vote
to
move
anything
unless
we're
going
to
put
more
money
into
affordable
housing.
G
Not
the
last
couple
and
I
have
the
last
couple
of
clarifying
questions.
C
G
Questions
about
help
me
clarify
what
I'm
seeing
here
is
councilwoman
Groves
brought
up
how
the
sheet
is
wrong,
all
right.
So
if
this
is
the
original,
what
the
mayor
sent
over
it's,
not
okay,.
G
C
G
G
G
All
right,
so
that
way,
it
stands
with
the
mayor
sent
over
just
some
clear,
is
taking
reducing
the
land
bank
by
three,
creating
a
food
Justice
fund,
and
that
was
it
there.
X
X
G
Do
so
Monday
will
be
the
final
vote.
I
would
like
to
take
a
preliminary
vote
on
the
the
additional
1
million
to
reduce
street
lights
by
one
million.
So
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
make
a
voice
amendment
to
do
that
amendment
to
include
that
in
951.
G
To
a
man
951
to
to
reduce
Street
lighting
from
4
million
to
3
million
and
to
add
and
to
add
a
line
just
like
there
was
a
line
added
for
food.
Justice.
G
Add
the
line
in
that
section
to
where
I
would
say.
Medical
debt
relief
for
1
million
is.
V
No
I'll
be
brief.
There
were
some
issues
with
with
this
original,
first
of
all,
taking
it
from
the
lighting
many
issues
with
that,
mostly
dealing
with
our
local
labor
union,
local
local,
five
IBEW.
Since
then,
we've
had
many
conversations
out
in
the
hallway.
We
went
back
and
forth.
They
are
fine.
The
administration
is
fine,
with
taking
this
million
dollars
and
putting
it
towards
Bobby's,
well
worth
the
city
yeah
right
right,
so
so
I'm
fine
with
it
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
For
us.
B
There
there
has
been
a
Folsom
conversation,
I
appreciate
everyone
who
has
engaged
to
try
to
find
our
way
through
this
and
I
applaud
us
once
again
for
being
Collective
and
cooperative
and
always
finding
trying
to
find
our
way.
I
will
not
be
supportive.
I've
been
vocal
with
that.
Only
because
I
really
haven't
had
time
to
digest
what
that
means
and
the
critical
need
for
lighting
in
within
the
council
District
I
represent.
So
thank
you
very
much.
V
Yes,
please
I
I,
just
wanted
to
add
I'll
go
with
the
will
of
the
Council
on
this.
Okay.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
knew
that
it
was
clarified
that
the
three
million
dollars
that
is
in
the
lighting
is
enough
to
do
the
study
that
they
want
done.
Okay,
and
we
will
replenish
that
money.
There's
a
promise
from
the
mayor's
office-
and
you
know
us
as
well
I-
would
hope
to
make
sure
that
lighting
is
fully
funded
next
time,
where
it
becomes
when
the
next
dollars
are
available.
E
E
What
I
don't
appreciate
is
having
this
forced
out
in
Council
Members
being
put
in
the
position
where
it
looks
like
we're,
either
in
favor
of
helping
people
with
medical
bills
or
we're
not
in
support
of
helping
people
I
think
what
we
want
to
do
is
ask
the
right
questions
and
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
public
Scholars,
which
we
were
elected
to
do
and
I.
Think.
E
If
denying
us
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
prior
to
allocating
funds,
is
not
what
I
feel
comfortable
doing
and
I
think
that
I'm
going
to
ask
questions
for
that
and
it's
the
same
thing
I
feel
with
the
food
policy
I
feel
like
we
need
to
have
answers
for
the
public.
We
can't
pick
this
group
for
this
and
this
group
for
that
and
follow
different
rules.
It
has
to
be
the
same
rules
across
the
board
and
I
think
to
be
fair
to
everyone.
E
I'm,
supportive
councilwoman
gross
has
been
working
for
a
year
and
a
half
along
with
councilwoman
strasberger
and
myself
and
others
other
members
we've
been
working
with
the
food
policy
Council
for
probably
about
a
year
and
a
half
to
try
to
get
to
this
point.
So
it's
not
like
we
didn't
have
discussion.
We
had
public
hearings,
we
had
post
agendas,
and
so
we
really
want
to
see
them
take
off
and
Thrive
and
help
our
community.
E
A
You
I'll
quickly
simply
add
I've
had
this
conversation
with
councilman
Wilson
for
weeks
now,
when.
A
Of
mentioned
this
to
me
brought
this
idea
forward,
so
I've
actually
had
time,
unlike
councilman
Carlson,
like
yourself,
Madam
president
and
other
members,
I've
actually
had
time
to
sort
of
study.
The
issue
understand
it
see
what
other
cities
have
done
when
I
spoke
with
him.
I
said
this
is
absolutely
the
most
appropriate
fund,
for
this
is
actually
not
Capital
Pego
or
anything
it's
actually
arpa
dollars,
and
so
for
because
of
those
reasons,
I've
been
I
told
him.
He
would
have
my
support
on
this
issue,
which
is
why
I'm
comfortable
I
understand
your
willingness.
A
S
A
G
G
I,
just
it
just
came
to
my
mind,
so
we're
not
even
naming
the
company
in
in
the
in
in
this
larva
funding,
so
I
mean
that
that's
named.
I
J
A
N
So
I
will
vote
for
this
because
of
my
support
for
councilman
Wilson.
He
is
my
friend
and
I
do
support
his
efforts.
I
also
know
that
medical.
C
N
N
X
B
B
A
We
should
so
we'll
we
can
quickly
run
through
these
last
okay,
these
last
ones,
I'm
good
so
to
The,
Madam
president,
if
you'll
rebuild,
let's
say
952
and
953
together,
these
boasts
are
regarding
the
stop
to
balance
fund.
A
Opposed
affirmative
recommendation,
if
Bill
954.
A
Dwarf
perfect,
second,
with
that
I
now
need
someone
to
offer
a
motion
to
amend,
to
approve
the
capital
amendments
for
Council
three
and
four
and
the
mayoral
Capital
amendment
number
three.
E
A
S
A
If
members
are
willing,
Madam
president
wanted
to
add
a
bill
which
would
be
under
the
finance
committee,
it
would
be
Bill
1074.
She
would
need
to
make
a
motion
to
waive
the
rules
of
council
to
allow
this
bill
to
come
to
our
standing
committee's
meeting.
A
I
was
trying
to
get
done
with
it.
Bill
10
13.
D
A
C
A
A
Had
to
we.
A
Were
two
I
apologize
if
we
can
go
back
to,
of
course,
invoices
motion
to
reconsider
motion
to
reconsider.
There
are
actually
two
bills,
not
rushing
through
I
apologize.
There
are
actually
two
bills
where
we
need
to
waive
the
rules
to
approve
the
limits
so
we'll
approve
the
spending.
B
Yeah
second,
the
two
one.
A
Was
a
police
Bill
and
one
was
our
subscription
to
the
Southwest
Planning
Commission
got
you
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
all
right,
so
we've
waived
the
rules.
All
motion
to
approve
the
invoices
emerged.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye.
A
Invoices
are
approved,
councilman
Warwick
is
looking
at
me
as
if
we
may
have
done
something
funny.
No.
U
A
Okay,
I
was
just
going
to
clarify
in
our
invoices.
We
have
set
amounts
that
you
can
audit
that
automatically
get
approved
if
they
go.
If
an
invoice
comes
over.
That
is
above
that
five
thousand
dollar
threshold.
We
have
to
waive
the
rules
to
approve
that
invoice
and
I
forgot
that
part
which
actually
had
to
go
back
so
motion
to
approve
the
interdepartmental
transfers
removed.
Thank
you
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
and
transfers
are
approved,
motion
to
approve
the
P
cards
removed.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye.
A
D
C
B
Oceans
approved
very
brief
discussion.
Please,
second,
thank
you.
Mr
chair,
as
I
spoke
with
members.
I
met
with
the
administration
repeatedly
at
the
request
of
Deputy
Mayor
Pollock
and
our
public
safety
director
Lee
Schmidt.
They
have
asked
that
we
table
this
bill,
so
I'm
going
to
motion
to
table
the
bill.
Second,.
B
B
C
D
A
D
Bill
959
resolution
providing
for
an
agreement
or
agreements
with
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Transportation
for
costs
associated
with
the
construction
phase
of
the
Sylvan
Avenue,
multimodal
path
project
providing
for
the
payment
of
the
cost
thereof,
not
to
exceed
one
million
dollars.
This
resolution
serves
to
authorize
only
the
reimbursement
agreement
at
no
cost
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Future
resolutions
will
authorize
a
Project
Specific
service
agreements.
F
A
V
Defer
to
councilwoman
Warwick
I
think
she
wants
to
bring
somebody
to
the.
F
I'd
just
like
to
clarify
a
little
bit
around
this
resolution,
so
this
is
a
a
multimodal
path,
essentially
a
bike
path,
and,
and
this
money
is
for
the
streets,
there's
a
there's,
a
street
section
and
then
there's
a
Greenway
section.
This
is
for
the
street
section.
It
is
essentially
more
or
less
a
dead
end
Street,
a
highly
unused
Street
in
Hazelwood,
a
grant
was
received
back
in
I,
want
to
say
2018
as
part
of
the
mono
Oakland
connector
project.
F
So,
and
the
issue
is
that
that
grant
money
needs
to
be
spent
on
this
street
in
particular,
which
is
a
million
dollars
to
be
spent
on
essentially
rehabbing.
What
is
a
dead-end
street?
F
So
my
concern
is
that
we
have
so
many
other
issues
in
Hazelwood
and
we
had
a
public
meeting
about
it
and
at
that
public
meeting
we
talked
about
the
need
for
traffic
calming
in
other
places,
specifically
upper
Hazelwood
Avenue,
so
I'd
like
to
let
director
Lucas
speak
to
that
to
what
other
projects
we
are
also
doing
in
2023,
in
addition
to
this
one
so
that
they
can
have
both
the
nice
bike
path
and
the
safety
safety
updates.
Sure.
Z
So
Kim
Lucas
director
for
the
city's
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
just
to
clarify
that
there
is
no
money
from
this
grant
that
it
could
be
used
for
the
traffic
calming
request
that
council
member
war
was
referring
to,
but
specifically
on
Hazelwood
Avenue.
We
know
me,
as
a
department
has
already
performed
a
road
safety
audit.
We
did
actually
did
that
earlier
this
year
and
last
year,
I
believe
and
we,
the
findings
concur
with
what
we're
hearing
today,
which
is
that
Hazelwood
Avenue
needs
safety
improvements.
Z
We
do
believe
that
the
best
project
along
Hazelwood
would
be
a
full-scale
corridor
Capital
project,
that's
not
something
we
can
commit
to
doing
in
23,
because
that
will
need
dedicated
funding
and
design
resources.
However,
we
do
think
that
there
are
spot
improvements
along
Hazelwood
Avenue
that
we
can
accomplish
in
2023,
so
we
haven't
figured
out
exactly
what
those
spot
improvements
would
be,
but
I
do
have
commitment
from
my
traffic
engineering
staff
that
we
should
be
able
to
do
some
spot
improvements
and
I
was
on
Hazelwood
Avenue
yesterday.
Z
You
know
I've
been
to
the
site
recently,
so
that
I
can
make
sure
that
I'm,
you
know
familiar
with
it
perfect.
D
V
Now
that
was
at
councilman
krause's
request,
but
yeah,
we'll
retract
that
and
open
up
a
conversation
just.
F
Very
brief
discussion
I
do
want
to
hold
so
because
we
we
have
a
meeting
on
Friday
about.
U
F
But
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
the
record
so
this
this
my
concern
here
is:
there
is
a
there
is
a
bridge,
the
swinburne
bridge
and
it
goes
directly
Over
a
Four
Mile
Run.
It
shares
with
councilman
krause's
District.
F
To
clarify
so
for
for
everyone
here,
so
it's
partially
councilman
across
the
district.
However,
everyone
who
lives
under
the
bridge
and
as
will
be
affected
by
the
traffic
related
to
the
bridge
mostly
lives
in
my
district.
So
that's
why
so?
The
the
concern
is
that
well,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
address
bridges
in
the
run
in
general
right,
so
so
that
everyone
understands
that
bridge
safety
in
the
run
is
something
I'm
very
familiar
with.
We
have
the
swinburne
bridge.
F
V
F
F
F
a
year
or
so
ago
started
having
rocks.
You
know,
pieces
pieces
of
376
falling
off
onto
our
playground
and
the
solution
to
that
has
been
to
put
sort
of
a
an
under
bridge
and
then
a
bag
around
the
side.
So
in
Four
Mile
Run,
we
are
acutely
aware
and
concerned
about
Bridge
safety,
so
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
to
anyone
who's
like.
Why
is
she
talking
about
a
br?
You
know
why?
Is
she
questioning
what
we're
doing
with
the
bridge
so
that
that's
that's
what
I'm
so
with
the
the
swinburne
bridge?
F
It
is
one
of
the
only
bridges
that
is
slated
for
a
replace
instead
of
a
repair
so
and-
and
this
is
what
the
call
is
going
to
be
about
on
Friday,
but
so
what
I
want
to
understand,
because
the
last
information
that
I
could
find
and
that
that
is
available
for
folks
publicly?
Is
this
National
Bridge
report,
whether
it's
accurate
or
not,
from
citing
a
a
a
study
from
2018
that
says
that
the
swinburne
bridge
could
be
repaired
for
about
seven
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
dollars?
F
That
would,
of
course,
be
more
in
today's
dollars
and
that
was
back
in
2018..
So
the
question
remaining,
why
are
we
tearing
that
which
will
cause
incredible
pain
for
the
neighborhood
right,
I
mean
Greenfield
Avenue
will
be
one
way
for
possibly
up
to
two
years,
so
this
is
so
replacing
this
bridge
is
a
massive
project.
It's
it's
in
the
budget.
It's
a
12.6
million
dollar
line
item.
We
also
have
other
Bridges
around
the
city
right.
So
that
is
why
I'm
raising
this
we
can.
F
Z
And
I
know
we
do
have
a
meeting
this
week,
but
just
to
share
some
information
that
I
shared
with
the
council
member
previously
via
email
for
the
benefit
of
the
public.
So
the
reason
that
a
number
of
the
bridges
that
you
see
before
you
that
are
slated
for
design
are
listed
as
rehab
or
replacement
versus
just
replacement,
often
and
most
of
the
time
has
had
to
do
with
the
historic
designation
and
so
historic
designation
is
what
triggers
an
additional
review
and
evaluation
of
whether
the
bridge
can
be
one
or
the
other
of
those.
Z
This
bridge
is
not
subject
to
that.
So
that
was
one
element
that
is
not
included.
That
is
included
for
many
of
our
bridges
in
the
city
we
have
146
or
so
that
the
city
maintains
out
of
almost
450
city-wide
the
department
in
2018,
in
conjunction
with
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Transportation,
when
the
scoping
Field
view
for
this
bridge
was
kicked
off.
Z
The
recommendation
at
that
time
for
the
safest
possible
project
was
to
do
a
complete
reconstruction
of
the
bridge
and
that
there's
opportunity
to
for
the
city
to
have
a
bridge
that
would
be
a
hundred
year.
Lifespan
on
it,
instead
of
a
rehab
that
wouldn't
get
us,
maybe
not
even
half
as
much
of
that
time
and
it
was
an
opportunity
to
there-
would
be
inconvenience
to
the
community
either
way
and
I'm.
Z
Trying
to
find
the
note
on
this,
but
the
inspection
report
that
I
think
we
that
you're,
referring
to
from
2018
cited
significant
structural
ratings,
that
included
the
substructure,
superstructure
and
deck,
were
in
poor
condition.
So
a
rehab
wouldn't
be
painting
it
wouldn't
be
minor
maintenance.
It
would
probably
involve
removing
the
deck
and
putting
it
back
so
in
terms
of
the
time
frames
that
it
would
take
and
the
inconvenience
and
the
and
the
lack
of
connection
in
the
community
of
a
total
rehab
versus
the
I'm.
B
So
so
the
councilwoman
I've
had
opportunity
to
talk.
I
do
want.
O
C
B
Of
try
to
find
her
way
and
and
as
you
can
see,
even
the
last
two
days
has
you
know,
just
been
a
drop
in
the
bucket,
as
as
to
the
what
we
put
on
you
when
you
get
here
so
I'm
happy
to
support
that
I
will
be
attendance
at
the
meeting,
but
I
I
do
want
to
be
honest
and
clear
in
in
in
in
my
remarks
to
the
public.
I
am
not
an
expert
here.
I
am
going
to
take
the
the
advice
of
the
experts.
B
I
am
not
going
to
sleep
at
night
thinking
that
in
some
way,
shape
or
form
I
could
be
responsible
for
bridge
collapse
when,
when
professionals,
they
clearly
understand
how
these
things
need
to
take
place
are
saying,
you
really
do
need
to
replace
the
bridge
and,
if
and
to
hear
you
directors
say
that,
give
or
take
within
10
or
20
percent.
It's
going
to
be
the
same
amount
of
time
to
repair
as
it
is
to
replace
I'm
much
more
comfortable
with
saying
at
least
I
know.
This
is
replace
instructional.
B
C
I
F
I
am
looking
for,
and
this
is
actually
the
first
time
right
is
the
initial.
When
I
asked
this
over
email.
The
initial
answer
was
that
it
would
be
more
cost
effective
to
do
a
bridge
that
would
last
a
hundred
years
versus
a
bridge
that
would
last
50
years,
and
my
response
is
well.
It's
nice
to
save
money
for
the
folks
of
Pittsburgh
100
years
from
now,
but
I'd
also
feel
like.
We
should
be
concentrating
on
on
the
people
here
today.
F
Right
so,
and-
and
this
can
we
can
do
this
on
Friday
or
not,
but
I
would
love
to
have
as
you
you
said,
if
there
this
report
from
the
experts
that
lays
it
out
in
black
and
white,
for
anybody
to
for
any
of
my
constituents
who
ask
me
right,
I
would
love
to
have
that
to
be
say:
hey
look,
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
the
the
engineer
here
right.
This
is
the
report.
F
B
Brief
interrogatory
just
so
everybody
sort
of
understands
the
timeline
in
which
run
the
the
council
session
does
not
end
in
January,
like
it
will
next
year.
The
bill
can't
continue
into
the
the
beginning
of
the
new
year.
Give
us
ample
time
to
discuss
on
Friday.
We
do
not
have
to
take
the
vote
on
Monday.
We
can
take
it
in
early
January,
we'll
still
be
fine.
We
won't
screw
your
construction
schedule
up
in
any
way.
I.
B
Z
Sorry,
just
one
quick
note
too
so,
what's
in
front
of
you
today,
is
to
approve
an
agreement
with
CSX
to
review
the
bridge
because
it
touches
their
railroad
I
think
we
would
have
to
have
that
agreement,
regardless
of
it
being
a
full
reconstruction
or
rehab.
So
it's
still
going
to
be
a
critical
path
item.
We
are
in
preliminary
engineering
or
I'm
sorry
preliminary
design
phase.
Z

B
D
A
A

R
G
You
Mr
chair
on
the
advice
of
our
Law
Department
I'm
gonna,
hold
bills,
270
and
465
until
March
1st,
which
is
our
next
standing
committee
meeting
in
March
1st.
C
A
U
Motion
to
approve
brief
discussion,
I'll
defer
to
the
bill
sponsor
council
president
kale
Smith
and
co-sponsor
Council
member
Wilson.
G
A
long
it's
been
a
long
morning
afternoon
now
I.
So
we
have
to
hold
the
bill,
but
just
want
to
say
that
we're
in
communication
with
the
department
and
looking
forward
to
the
Department's
response
in
terms
of
our
hopefully,
which
is
a
good
Amendment
that
we
sent
over.
So
looking
forward
to
that.
But
with
that
I
like
to
hold.
B
B

U

C

No
major
comments.
Some
members
noticed
that,
as
we
were
wrapping
up
our
budget
hearing
yesterday,
I
logged
into
our
City
Planning
Commission
meeting,
because
there
were
briefings
regarding
the
lower
Hill.
So
it's
good
to
see
this
piece
getting
done
so
additional
development
can
can
move
forward.
So
thank
you.
