F
Good
morning,
shady
trees,
not
shady
deals
in
bonaire.
We,
the
people
of
bonaire,
have
significant
investment
into
our
properties.
We
stand
to
lose
significant
value
financially
and
quality
of
life
reduction.
The
largest
investment
that
the
average
american
will
make
is
their
home.
Our
biggest
assets
are
being
threatened.
This
is
why
we
as
a
community
have
expressed
significant
concern
about
the
potential
development
of
bonaire
school
into
anything
other
than
a
green
space.
We
already
have
a
valuable
school
stolen
from
our
community.
We
deserve
a
valuable
green
space
to
replace
it.
F
Negligent,
infliction
of
emotional
distress
and
blockbusting
are
being
perpetrated
by
those
who
oppose
our
community.
Real
damages
are
occurring
to
the
bonaire
community.
I
have
no
doubt
that
this
controversy
was
a
contributing
factor
to
the
demise
of
my
husband.
The
pps
created
this
controversy
against
we,
the
property
owners
of
bonaire.
F
F
F
G
Hello,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
christina
howell,
I'm
executive
director
of
field
development
corporation,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
inclusionary
zoning
expansion
into
bloomfield
and
polish
hill.
I
won't
take
up
very
much
time.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
G
Since
the
legislation
became
pending,
we
have
now
secured
a
commitment
from
a
developer
to
include
at
least
19,
affordable
rental
units
at
60
ami,
as
well
as
the
developer,
committing
to
accept
housing,
choice
vouchers
so
that
we
can
increase
the
amount
or
or
lower
the
amount
that
a
person
would
need
to
spend
to
live
in
these
apartments.
So
already
this,
this
pending
legislation
has
had
a
huge
impact
on
our
neighborhood.
G
I
know
19
units
doesn't
sound
like
a
lot,
but
that's
19
people
or
families
who
will
be
able
to
stay
close
to
work
and
not
have
to
have
a
car,
be
able
to
stay
close
to
their
health
care
in
their
social
networks
and
and
it's
just
already
so
impactful
for
our
neighborhood.
G
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
just
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
time
and
attention
that
you've
all
spent
on
inclusionary
zoning
over
the
years
and
to
lawrenceville
united
and
corporation
for
paving
the
way
for
us
to
do
this.
H
Hello,
how
are
you
doing
I'm
curtis
richardson.
H
H
Hello,
yeah
hi,
my
name
is
curtis
richardson,
I'm
just
here
to
attend.
H
Yeah,
I
can
sure,
but
I'm
really
here
this
is
my
first
time
attending
the
meet,
and
I'm
really
here
to
you
know
pretty
much
get
get
familiar.
You
understand
it.
You
know
took
up
some
information
about.
What's
going
on
in
the
community
citywide,
basically
pretty
much.
I
I
She
was
a
woman
of
excellence,
worked
on
and
helped
renovate
the
smithfield
street
bridge
the
veteran
street
bridge
and
also
helped
build
the
allegheny
county
jail
to
name
a
few,
and
she
worked
on
many
many
many
highways
and
byways
all
throughout
allegheny
county
as
a
little
patawan.
I
watched
her
work
hard
and
provide
for
her
lineage
in
a
male-dominated
field,
but
she
held
her
own
and
garnered
her
co-workers
respect
by
shattering
their
preconceived
notions
that
a
woman
did
not
belong
in
construction,
let
alone
a
copper-colored
woman
of
hue
and
skin
tone.
I
A
J
My
name
is
yvonne,
f
brown.
I
live
in
the
hill
district
academy
world
mercer
building
yesterday,
when
mr
mike
came,
I
had
made
an
off-handed
remark
to
him.
We
had
a
heated
conversation
as
I
realized.
I
thought
he
was
coming
to
speak
here
because
he
was
going
to
let
him
speak
longer
than
what
he
should
have,
which
I
know,
but
I
want
to
take
and
apologize
to,
mr
mike
to
mark
brentley
and
especially
mr
radicus,
who
used
to
bring
his
young
boys
to
city
council
where
I
brought
my
grandchildren
and
one.
J
His
son
is
now
second
year
of
medical.
All
right.
I'm
saying
this.
I
am
really
upset
because
I
look
at
jen's
when
you
call
on
the
phone.
You
can't
see
what
they're
doing
here,
but
if
you
come
down
here
and
get
a
proclamation,
you
don't
even
stay
and
listen
to
the
citizen.
You
get
your
gift
and
run
out
all
of
you.
If
you
come
down
here,
you
already
got
your
glory.
You
need
to
stay
and
listen
to
us
because
you
don't
know
what's
happening
if
you're,
not
watching,
city
council.
J
Okay,
then
I
had
the
lady
today
because
they
beat
the
old
people
are
watching.
She
said
I
was
half
sleep
and
I
heard
this
brown
had
susan
and
she
said,
oh,
what
has
yvonne
done
now
and
found
out.
It
was
karma.
Thank
you
carmen,
thank
you
and
all
the
community
thanks
you
I
have
you
know.
We
went
to
a
restaurant
me
and
mr
miller
and
have
someone
said
city
council.
The
man
came
when
he's
bringing
his
food.
He
said
what
he
got
to
screaming
about.
You
just
want
to
make
88
000
a
year.
J
He
said
that
you
have
so
much
so
many
a
degree.
He
was
fussing.
I
mean
this
man
was
really,
and
that
was
a
white
man.
It
wasn't
even
a
black
man.
Do
you
understand
that
we're
fussing,
because
you
got
robotics
in
in
miss
gross
thing
and
we
got
dogs?
You
spent
two
million
dollars
for
dogs
in
homewood,
where
a
woman
is
saying
she
get
ready,
get
put
out
and
you
won't
even
answer.
Burgess
the
dog
lover,
and
you
know
what
mr
mike
said,
that
they're
taking
away
the
reading
of
the
books.
J
That's
doctor
don
is
running
your
your
libraries,
dr
dow,
that
one
with
the
smiling
face.
That
sometimes
tell
lies.
He
says
he
fights
for
the
children,
but
he
don't
won't
open
it
up
for
the
children
and
you,
the
lawyer
sitting
here,
you
think
you're
smart.
When
he
has
said
yeah,
miss
missing,
said
well,
I
have
to
say
amended
you're
trying
to
play
tricks
to
say
that
you're
just
going
to
change
it
anytime,
you
want
no.
Why
do
you
make
the
rules?
A
Seeing
none
that
moves
us
on
our
standing
committee's
agenda
just
let
the
record
reflect
that
councilman,
wilson,
councilman
burgess
and
council
councilwoman.
K
A
Today
that
takes
us
to
our
first
committee
of
the
day,
which
is
finance
and
law
which
is
chaired
by
myself.
We
have
one
new
paper
bill,
95.
bill.
M
M
If
I
can
to
the
memphis
council,
as
you
know,.
M
M
M
Secondly,
in
order
to
make
communities
more
strengthened
and
more
resilient
in
the
time
that
I've
been
on
council,
I've
learned
that,
in
order
to
rebuild
especially
black
communities,
you
have
to
do
them
with
multiple
interventions.
Yes,
we
need
better
schools.
Yes,
we
need
better
jobs.
Yes,
we
need
more
safety,
but
the
key
to
it
in
many
ways
is
housing.
M
We
pass
the
number
of
legislation
of
housing
being
the
human
right.
We
have
legislation
talking
about
an
affordable
housing
impact
statement,
and
so
I
have
been
last,
I
guess
my
whole
time
on
council
laser
light
focused
on
how
can
we
increase
the
number
now?
Let
me
say
it
differently,
because
because
councilman
cross
reminds
me
that
I
said
something
right,
how
do
we
increase
the
number
of
units
for
everybody
right
at
the
level
you
can
afford?
So,
if
you're
wealthy,
you
should
have
options
for
the
house.
You
want
to
live
in
if
you're
middle
class.
M
You
should
have
options
where
you
want
to
live
in
and
if
you're
low
income,
you
should
have
options
and
all
the
options
should
be
clean,
affordable
and
decent
housing
in
black
communities.
Particularly,
we
have
to
do
these
multiple
interventions
at
scale
at
the
same
time,
but
we
do
know
housing
has
to
always
be
one
of
the
interventions
that,
if
you
don't
give
people
clean
decent,
safe,
affordable
housing,
then
the
rest
of
the
interventions
will
not
work.
If
you
give
them
great
schools,
they
they're
coming
home
to
live
in
squalor
in
gang
infested
drug
infested,
neighborhoods.
M
It
won't
work.
So
we've
learned
that
housing
has
to
be
an
essential
part.
Okay,
let
me
get
to
the
bill
now.
Councilman
laville
and
I
have
spent
our
time
together
on
council.
I
think
together.
If
you
take
our
record
together,
we
have
participated
and
overseen
more
affordable
housing
development
than
any
other
person
still
left
in
city
government.
I
think
that's
probably
right.
M
You
know
we
have
we
have.
We
have
spent.
You
know
time,
building
thousands
of
units
at
this
point.
So
when
I
was
chair
of
the
housing
authority
for
a
number
of
years,
I
used
to
meet
with
the
chair
of
the:
u
aboard
the
ura
monthly,
it
was
informal
process,
but
we
met
monthly
to
coordinate
activity
because
the
housing
authority
has
resources.
The
ura
has
resources.
M
In
fact,
the
pwsa
has
resources,
and
now
we
have
a
land
bank,
they
have
resources,
but
all
that
has
to
be
coordinated
right
so
that
when
we
go
and
say
that
we
want
to
put
housing
in
a
place,
everything's
coordinated
second
thing
is
and
councilman
level-
and
I
have
done
this
privately-
we
didn't
talk
about
it
publicly,
but
he
and
I
have
been
trying
to
find
new
funding
streams.
We
went
and
met
with
the
ura
with
the
new
administration
to
look
at
affordable
housing
bond.
M
We
went
to
columbus
and
looked
at
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
which
is
private
money.
That's
they
have
250
million
dollars
of
private
dollars
in
a
revolving
loan
fund
for
housing
for
their
city
and
their
county,
and
so
this
is
actually
a
very
simple
piece
of
legislation.
M
What
it
does
is
it
puts
all
the
people
who
are
involved
in
affordable
housing
in
one
space,
so
they
can
together
investigate
processes
that
will
lead
to
more
resources,
financing
for
affordable
housing
and
quicken
its
implementation
right.
It
is
a
working
committee
which
we
do
somewhat
informally
in
tact
in
my
projects
in
my
district.
I
do
this
informally
right.
If
there's
a
project
in
my
council
district,
I
have
all
these
entities
meet
with
me
regularly
and
I
kind
of
quarterback
the
development,
but
there's
no
one
doing
it
across
the
city.
M
I
have
a
sense
of
it,
they're
going
to
say
that
we
need
this
sort
of
city-wide
goals
and
the
city-wide
comprehensive
planning,
but
even
when
you
have
that
you
need
some
group
that
are
the
tacticians
that
are
the
practitioners
that
say:
okay,
let's
see
which
funding
streams
are
available
and
what
resources
we
can
put
together
so
that
we
can
put
more
housing
in
sheridan
or
more
housing
on
the
north
side,
and
so
what
this
really
does
is
it
just
creates
a
space
where
council,
the
mayor,
the
housing
authority,
the
ura,
the
land
bank,
all
of
them
and
more
that
you
need
it,
sits
down
and
begins
to
vet
these
solutions
on
a
regular
basis,
because
in
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
I
mean
the
affordable
housing
bond
that
councilman
level,
and
I
talked
about
when
we
talked
about
it.
M
M
I've
talked
to
cities
to
have
it,
but
we
need
some
entity,
that's
looking
at
these
national
solutions
and
looking
at
best
practices
and
looking
at
the
resources
available
from
federal
state
and
local
sources,
so
that
we
can
increase
housing,
and
so
I've
talked
to
the
ura,
the
housing
authority.
I've
talked
to
everybody
about
it.
So
it's
not
a
surprise.
It's
really
a
coordinating
role
of
it
doesn't
take
away
from
anybody,
but
it
helps
coordinate
what
we've
been
doing
informally.
M
Those
numbers
are
going
up,
and
so
there's
going
to
be
a
need
for
us
to
diversify
the
housing
market
in
our
city.
So
we
can
keep
the
people
who
are
here
and
and
and
grow.
So
it
is
that's
that's
the
overview
of
it.
The
the
members
there's,
the
members
are
laid
out.
It's
the
mayor,
the
chief
economic
development
officers
to
the
four
members
of
council
city
planning,
the
the
housing
authority,
the
ura,
the
land
bank,
and
then
the
committee
itself
can
put
other
members
on
as
it
needs.
M
N
Oh
thank
you
for
that
long.
Explanation,
detailed
explanation,
but
I
do
want
to
say:
I've
always
had
some
concerns
when
we
form
these
committees-
and
I
don't
understand
why
it's
not
a
task
force
or
something
with
less
teeth.
I
I
think
that
these
are
ways
to
avoid
city
council.
I
don't
think
that
they're
a
way
to
make
us
part
of
anything.
I
think
it's
a
way
to
do
things
that
city
council
can't
always
keep
an
eye
on.
We
have
enough
of
those.
We
have
enough
problems
with
that.
You
know.
N
Currently
I
want
to
be
supportive,
but
I
don't
understand
why
this
can't
be
done
under
the
current
structure,
why
the
ura
can't
host
these
meetings
and
these
collaborative
efforts,
and
so
I'm
just
today,
I'm
going
to
either
abstain.
If
we
vote
on
it
today,
but
really
like
to
take
the
time
to
have
a
meeting
and
maybe
maybe
even
hold
for
a
public
hearing
or
post
agenda,
to
better
understand
why
these
other
groups
or
entities
cannot
perform
these
tasks.
N
Currently,
I
mean
to
me-
and
the
other
thing
I
think
we
need
to
do
is
look
at
the
realty
transfer
tax
and
and
the
evaluate
that
we
said
we
would
evaluate
that
and
it's
been
years-
and
we
haven't
revisited
that
and
I'm
wondering
now,
if
the
effectiveness,
if
we're
still
having
this
problem
with
affordable
housing
and
now
we're
expected
to
possibly
take
on
wilkinsburg
that
needs
additional
housing
help.
N
N
That
and
honestly
realtors
came
to
us
at
the
time
and
said
they
have
better
ways,
and
I
think
everybody's
you
know
closed
their
minds
to
whatever
their
suggestions
are,
and
they
might
actually
have
some
real
solutions.
I
just
think
it's
it's
a
better,
a
bigger,
broader
conversation
in
terms
of
housing,
the
realty
transfer
tax,
possible
solutions,
wilkinsburg
student
housing.
How
much
of
this
is
student
housing
that
we're
needing?
How
much
are
we
helping
the
universities?
How
much
are
they
helping
themselves?
How
much
are
they
helping
pittsburgh?
N
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
conversations
that
have
to
happen,
and
so
today,
if
we,
if
we
vote
I'll
abstain,
otherwise
I'd
would
appreciate
if
you
would
hold
for
at
least
a
week
to
start
having
some
discussions.
O
Thank
you.
So
I
share
some
of
councilman
smith's
concerns
about
creating
a
new
task
force
that
takes
the
conversation
off
of
this
table
and
and
we
should
be
having
it
at
the
table
and-
and
I
would
like
to
also
mention
that
I've
been
saying
for
quite
some
time
that
eventually
this
love,
the
price
pressures
that
I
was
experiencing,
my
district
has
been
experiencing
and
advocating
about,
would
come
to
other
districts
as
well.
So
you
know
some
districts
in
the
city.
One
district
especially,
is
already
at
a
high
price
point.
O
I
want
just
want
to
give
first,
some
credit
to
the
community
leaders
in
district
7
and
in
the
last
eight
years,
while
we've
been
seeing
this
price
appreciation,
they
didn't
only
advocate
for
inclusionary
zoning.
They
also
created
the
city's
first
land
trust.
It
was
a
spin
out
from
the
lawrenceville
corporation,
which
is
creating
permanently
affordable
housing
on
99-year
leases,
with
covenants
that
keep
those
units
at
some
escalation,
a
low
escalation,
so
that
the
property
owners
can
build
wealth
and
build
equity.
O
O
So
the
city
of
bridges,
land
trust,
started
off
as
the
lawrenceville
land
trust
they
also
partnered
with
entities
like
action,
housing
and
other
developers
to
create
three
and
deeply
affordable,
entirely
affordable
buildings
at
morningside
school
at
penn
and
matilda,
and
now
we're
about
just
had
a
ribbon
cutting
at
the
doughboy,
and
so
these
are
units
that
are
affordable
at
a
30
ami.
O
In
the
heart
of
what
we
are
reminded
by
the
supreme
court
of
the
united
states,
neighborhoods
of
opportunity
they're
on
bus
lines,
they
are
walking
distance
from
groceries,
they're
near
schools,
churches
very
approximate
to
downtown
with
lots
of
job
opportunities,
and
we
need
to
keep
pushing.
So
I
just
want
to
remind
the
table
that
it
is
now
really
a
problem
of
every
neighborhood,
but
it's
especially
important
that
we
keep
fighting
to
include
affordability
in
the
resource
neighborhoods
and
not
just
the
under-resourced
neighborhoods.
So
we
have
to
do
both
it's
going
to
be
a.
O
I
think,
a
a
big
conversation
about
what
kinds
of
dwelling
units
people
need
different
parts
of
their
life
stage.
Sometimes
there
are
areas
of
the
city
that
don't
have
family
size
units.
They
need
family
size
units.
That
was
one
of
the
discussions
we
had
where,
of
course,
if
you're
building
an
affordable
building,
for
example,
at
penn
matilda,
the
action
housing
was
building
up
with
a
preference
for
veterans,
but
they
did
the
research
and
I
just
want
to
give
them
credit
there.
They
realized
that
so
western
pennsylvania
has
a
high
degree
of
veterans
experiencing
homelessness.
O
We
have
a
high
degree
of
farm
services
participation,
but
that
we
also
had
a
high
degree
of
women
veterans,
and
so
they
made
and
women
veterans
tend
to
have
children
and
when
they
have
affordability
needs,
and
so
they
included
some
family
size
units
in
that
development.
That's
45
units
at
the
corner
of
matilda,
and
so
that's
part
of
the
the
struggle
that
I
think
the
again
leadership.
O
Community
leadership
has
really
been
advancing
that
you
know
there
was
a
time
in
pittsburgh
when
we
thought
all
of
our
affordable
housing
was
senior
housing
right
and
they
were
almost
synonymous.
O
That
was
20
years
ago
when
you're
talking
about
affordable
housing.
It
was
like,
if
you're
talking
about
building
senior
housing,
you
were
talking
about
building,
affordable
housing,
but
those
that
you
know
the
demographics
of
the
city
and
the
demographics
of
people
who
are
as
councilman
burgess
said.
You
know,
working
families
very
very
likely
demand
a
different
kind
of
dwelling
unit,
but
also
this
imperative
to,
I
think,
have
a
balance
of
rental,
but
also
some
up
more
opportunity
than
we
have
now
for
ownership
and
building
ownership.
O
And
we
haven't
talked
enough
about
alternative
models
that
have
been
championed
in
western
pennsylvania
from
100
years
ago,
like
limited
equity,
housing
co-ops,
where
you
can
buy
in
with
that's
what
it
means.
If
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
equity
already,
you
can
still
get
started
in
ownership
and
it's
a
collaborative
ownership
model
and
we
had
dozens
of
them.
We
have
some
of
them
still
operating
in
council
districts,
but
it's
a
it's.
O
It's
like
we've
forgotten
these
models
and
how
to
do
them,
and
I
really
would
like
to
see
us
work
on
recovering
those
lost
knowledge
bases
so
that
we
can
create
more
options
for
people.
I
feel
that's
what's
really
lacking,
so
I
also
I'm
worried
about
kind
of
like
what
is
the
timeline
who's
actually
going
to
be
on
it?
What
are
the
priorities
going
to
be
for
this
task
force?
I
really
think
we
should
walk
through
that
before
we
do
final
passage
all
right.
O
I
appreciate
that
there's
to
so
that
we
can
all
talk
more
about
how
it's
being
tasked,
and
I
haven't
heard
any
feedback
from
the
members
of
the
administration
that
are
named
and
kind
of
what
the
other
entities
are
feeling.
So
I
would
like
to
hear
that
too.
So.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
give
a
little
speech
there,
because
it's
been
it's.
Definitely
something
that
I
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
the
the
neighborhoods
that
I
represent
have
really
been
working
on
in
earnest
and
and
have
a
great
deal
of
skill
and
expertise.
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
I
wouldn't
disagree
with
anything.
I've
heard
today,
both
the
concerns
and
the
the
need
for
this
and
the
work
that
the
community
organizations
are
doing,
but
I
guess
my
question
is
about
this:
how
the
center,
as
it
often
is,
how
this
interacts
with
some
of
our
other
commissions
groups,
task
forces
and
agencies.
So
I
guess,
when
it
comes
to
other
groups
that
have
been
formed,
you
know.
How
will
this?
What
do
you
foresee-
and
I
know
that?
P
Well
probably
a
lot
is
still
up
in
the
air,
but
I
guess
to
the
bill
sponsors.
What
do
you
foresee
that?
How
do
you
foresee
this,
interacting
with
the
housing
opportunity
fund
group,
with-
I
guess,
other
organiz,
other
task
forces
or
commissions
that
work
on?
Maybe
not
housing
specifically
but
work
on
housing
adjacent
issues?
P
And
then
you
know,
I'm
really
glad
that
it's
called
out
that
it
will
consider
and
and
focus
on
you
know,
access,
accessibility
and
access
to
public
transit.
Well,
then,
how
will
this
be
an
outward-facing
group
that,
maybe,
if
it
doesn't
have
it,
doesn't
have
to
be
a
huge
group?
But
how
will
it
interact
with
save
those
at
port
authority
who
are
thinking
about
transit-oriented
development?
P
How
will
it
work
with
our
schools
of
public,
private
and
parochial
schools,
child
care
facilities,
food
justice,
folks,
when
we're
talking
about
grocery
stores,
other
amenities,
age-friendly,
greater
pittsburgh
aarp
when
all
of
those
are
considerations,
how
will
this
group
not
be
a
an
inward
looking
group
that
that
just
bounces
around
their
own
ideas,
rather
than
you
know,
seeking
ideas
from
outside
my
question?
If
there
is
opportunity
for
a
conversation.
A
P
M
So
two
things
one
to
answer
a
question
that
was
not
asked
about
this
table:
development
is
70.
Land
70
of
development
is
land
control
right
and
by
virtue,
70
percent
70
of
development
is
land
control
and
the
the
charter
gives
land
control
exclusively
to
this
body.
We
are
the
entities
over
the
land
mass
of
our
city,
and
so
there's
no
way
to
get
around
council
becomes
a
development
because
we
control
the
land.
Second
of
all.
So
what
I?
M
What
I
do,
I'm
not
say
you
know
I'm
I'm
old,
so
I
do
the
same
thing.
The
same
way
all
the
time
and
it
could
mister
call
mr
kalkin-
and
I
laugh
about
it.
But
what
I
do
is,
I
say:
okay,
here's
an
idea
that
I'm
thinking
and
so
let's
work
together.
Let
me
kind
of
lay
the
idea
on
the
table
what
I've
seen
and
I
I
I
I'll
ask
mr
lavell-
to
kind
of
chime
in
what
I've
seen
is.
M
It
kind
of
gets
lost
in
the
in
the
atmosphere,
and
so
my
thinking
is,
if
you
had
a
a
standard
group
that
were
working
on
this
issue
with
their
staff,
you
would
you
would
you
would
so
I'm
not.
I
have
not
thought
out
how
it
interfaces
right.
In
my
mind,
this
is
an
internal
group.
That's
really
laser-like
focused
on
on
resources
and
implementation.
M
So
that's
kind
of
in
my
thinking,
that's
kind
of
the
the
what
I
think
they
do
this
and
it's.
It
seems
to
me
that
the
chief
economic
officer
would
be
the
person
who
leads
this
group.
This
would
be
really
a
group
that
he
is
the
the
chair
of
and
leads
it
and
kind
of,
and
we
talked
about
this
with
the
last
economic
officer
right
and
we
all
kind
of
agreed.
M
It
was
a
good
idea,
but
this
it
doesn't
get
done
and
I
think
we're
leaving
resources
on
the
table
because
we're
too
often
only
project
driven,
but
we
don't
take
some
time
to
say.
Okay,
where
are
these
kind
of
you
know?
Where
is
this
resource?
Can
we
do
a
bond?
Can
we
really
do
a
trust?
What
does
that
look
like
and
and
there's
no
one
a
sign
to
make
sure
that
work
doesn't
get
formed
because
we're
all
busy
right?
We
all
got
stuff
to
do
so.
M
What
I
hope
to
do
is
to
say
here's
an
idea
and
I'll
work
with
you.
I
don't
I
just
not
I'm
not.
I
don't
have
a
time
frame,
so
it
can
be
two
months.
I
I
spent
a
year
and
a
half
the
first,
the
first
reporting
bill
for
the
police
on
their
annual
report.
It
took
me
18
months
to
craft
negotiating
with
the
police.
So
I'm
not
you
know
once
I
I
don't
have
a
time
frame,
I'm
going
to
work
with
every
member
of
council.
I
just
know
practically
this.
M
Someone
has
to
make
sure
this
task
gets
done
this
and
it's
not,
it
doesn't
get
done.
It
right
now
gets
done
accidentally,
I'm
trying
to
find
a
way
to
encourage
it
to
get
done
on
some
regular
basis.
That
makes
does
that
answer
your
question.
I
don't
have
the
answers
as
to
how
everything
puts
together
and
I'm
willing
to
amend,
to
change,
to
alter
to
do
reporting
to
put
timelines,
but
this
is
my
kind
of
best
idea
of
how
we
can
move
forward.
P
The
scope
should
be
in
your
mind
that
it's
you
know
mostly
resources
and
implementation,
and
even
so
I
I
would
hope
that
it's
not
too
siloed
that
it
does
still
have
outward
facing
an
interaction
with
the
groups
that
I
just
mentioned,
but
also
you
know,
the
inherent
knowledge
of
the
community
organizations
is
a
lot
of
wisdom
there
as
well,
and
we
also
I'm
also
acknowledging
that
we
have
a
comprehensive
plan
that
our
city
planning,
department
and
others
will
be
working
on
and
how
affordable
housing
and
an
affordable
housing
plan
and
guidebook
for
developers
fits
into
this
fits
into
that
and
there's
a
lot
happening
so
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
that
answers
my
question.
A
A
We
don't
have
in
the
city
enough
dollars
to
actually
have
the
impact
on
housing
across
the
city
that
we
actually
need.
The
10
million
dollars
that
we
send
to
the
housing
opportunity
fund
is
a
drop
in
the
bucket
compared
to
what
we
actually
need
in
order
to
do
all
the
things
that
councilwoman
gross
outlines
and
part
of
it
is,
I
believe,
if
we're
really
going
to
do
the
for
sale,
housing,
affordable
for
sale,
housing,
that's
really
a
rehab
conversation,
not
a
new
construction
conversation.
A
You
can't
build
anything
for
less
than
400
000
and
then
you
would
need
to
put
300
000
worth
of
subsidy
into
it,
to
make
it
affordable
and
to
rehab
most
structures
around
the
city.
Now
you're
talking
about
150
000
worth
of
spending,
and
so
where
are
those
dollars
coming
from?
And
I
think
reverend
burgess
is
right
shortly
after
we
did
the
housing
opportunity
fund.
A
You
all
recall,
I
said,
then
I
thought
we
should
take
a
bond
out
against
it,
use
it
to
pay
back
the
bond
and
we
went
and
met
with
pnc
bank,
and
they
told
us
we
couldn't,
for
a
number
of
reasons
we
weren't
primed,
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
we
waited
about
a
year
and
a
half
went
past
went
back
to
them.
This
is
right
before
the
pandemic
had
a
meeting
where
they
said
you
actually
could
do
a
bond
now
and
here's
the
reasons.
A
Why,
mainly
because
we
had
proven
that
we
could
actually
spend
the
money
that
right
now
there's
more
projects
in
the
pipeline,
whether
it's
through
the
land,
trust
which
we
just
approved
at
the
ura
board
meeting
last
week.
To
do.
I
forget
how
many
units-
maybe
it
was
like
seven
or
eight
yeah
hazelwood,
but
we
literally
have
more
projects
than
we
have
resources
to
be
able
to
have
the
impact
that
we
need,
and
so
for
me,
someone
leading
the
charge
every
week
every
day
in
to
think
through.
A
Where
are
the
resources
going
to
come
from
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
because
ever
since
the
last
conversation
we
had
about
the
bond
ura,
was
there
mayor's
office?
Was
there?
I
believe
that
conversation
hasn't
gone
anywhere,
because
no
one's
quarterbacking
it.
So
I
think,
for
that
reason,
that
soul
reason
this
makes
some
sense
now
how
it
ends
up,
ultimately
being
crafted.
A
M
O
Like
one
more
thing
I
wanted
to
add
in
it's
not,
I
appreciate
that
councilwoman
smith
mentioned
revisiting
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
and
we
had
that
conversation
just
a
few
days
ago.
Each
of
us
were
not
comfortable
with
that
source
of
revenue
for
worrying
that,
sooner
or
later
the
biggest
entities
would
figure
out
a
way
around
it
and
we
were
told
no,
no,
no
we've
closed
that
state
loophole.
O
O
So
when
you
then
there's
zero
dollar
sale,
there's
no
real
estate
transfer
tax
on
zero
is
there
so
there
are
loopholes
again
and-
and
that's
so
I've
requested
in
for
the
wilkinsburg
committee
and
we
need
to
research
parcels
and
their
ownership
and
their
sales,
and
I
am
requesting
from
the
county
that
we
are
given
access
to
the
back
end
of
the
real
estate
portal
so
that
we
can
do
these
kinds
of
queries
and
reports
and
analyses
and
I'm
awaiting
access
to
that
data.
And
I
intend
to
continue
to
dig
into
these
issues.
H
A
M
We
we
actually
introduced
legislation
and
passed
it
that
froze
the
city's
challenging
the
assessments.
So
it's
not
just
us,
we
decided,
and
so
we
know
with
the
absolute
certainty.
I
don't
talk
about
this
much,
but
we
know
with
absolute
certainty
that
the
wealthiest
homeowners
in
pittsburgh
are
absolutely
not
paying
their
fair
share
of
property
taxes.
We
know
that
with
a
certainty
and
we
as
a
city
decided
not
to
challenge
their
assessments,
so
we
wouldn't
want
them.
We
didn't
want
to
force
them
to
pay
their
fair
share.
M
The
only
reason
I
mentioned
that
is,
we
had
a
bridge
that
just
fell
down.
We
just
had
a
bridge
to
fall
down.
We
got
20
more
that
can
fall
down
any
day
and
we're
gonna
have
to
have
an
uncomfortable
conversation
about
how
we
generate
more
resource
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute.
How
we're
going
to
generate
more
resources
to
put
in
to
this
aging
and
failing
infrastructure.
M
The
I
believe
it's
gilman's
bill,
we
were
challenging.
The
law
department
was
challenging
the
low
assessment
of
upper
income
houses
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
being
successful.
They
would
go
to
court
and
say
that
these
hot
these
properties
are
under
assessed,
right
and
the
court
would
say,
that's
right
and
they
would
change
their
assessment.
M
We're
either
going
to
raise
property
taxes
or
we're
going
to
find
a
new
front,
a
new
funding
stream.
There
is
no
third
choice:
we're
going
to
have
to
either
because
the
bridges
and
the
roads
and
the
rest
of
the
infrastructure
has
to
be
improved,
and
we
have
to
have
local
money
to
put
the
first
fruits
in
it.
A
M
S
A
S
Motion
to
approve
a
brief
discussion.
Second
councilman,
I
appreciate
your
your
work
and
this
rev.
I
didn't
support
the
amendment
yesterday
for
a
couple
reasons.
You
know
I
feel
like
we
have
enough
task
forces
and
responsibilities
that
we're
taking
on
with
wilkinsburg
and
other
projects
that
we
have
in
the
pipeline,
and
I
felt
it
conflicted
with
councilman
o'connor's
bill
and
just
as
a
point
of
inquiry,
I
thought
that
we
were
not
to
have
two
pieces
of
legislation
on
the
same
day
on
the
same
bill.
A
L
H
M
So
maybe,
if
I
can
explain
it
sure,
I
think,
if
you
think
about
this
in
two
phases,
it
will
make
sense,
because
that's
how
I
look
at
it.
So
let
me
kind
of
talk
about
it
and
then
I'll
explain,
at
least
in
my
mind
how
it
works.
Our
infrastructure
is
failing
in
our
country.
The
american
society
of
civil
engineers
gave
us
a
c
minus
nationally.
M
M
M
M
And
so
we
have
this
crisis.
We
have
the
president
of
the
united
states
who
passed
the
infrastructure
and
jobs
act.
It
is
not
just
about
bridges
and
roads,
as
I
think
councilman
councilwoman
gross
reminds
us,
but
it
talks
about
all
the
other
parts
of
infrastructure.
Republicans
say
that
infrastructure
is
just
roads
and
highways.
M
That's
a
republican
thought,
but
we
democrats
talk
about
to
rebuild
bridges
and
rails
to
expand
access
to
clean
drinking
water,
to
ensure
every
american
has
access
to
high-speed
internet,
tackle
the
climate
crisis,
advance
environmental
justice
and
invest
in
community
and
invest
in
communities
that
too
often
are
left
behind.
In
fact,
president
biden
said
he
wants
40
percent
of
the
impact
of
this
bill
to
be
in
communities
that
have
been
historically
disinvested
in
so
40
of
the
money.
The
resources
are
supposed
to
be
used
equitably
right,
we
got
blessed
it's
just
by.
M
We
got
blessed
twice
right
in
pittsburgh.
The
fern
hollow
bridge
collapsed.
M
M
M
M
We
are
responsible
for
the
city
we
own
100
or
so
bridges.
We
are
responsible
for
those
bridges,
they
have
to
be
repaired.
We
the
council,
is
responsible
for
it
now.
I
think
they
are
at
least
so.
I
think
that
we
have
lots
of
ta.
We
have
lots
of
commissions,
the
planning
commission,
the
civil
service
commission,
the
gender
equity
commission,
hiv
commission.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
any
commission
that
makes
recommendations
and
if
we
pass
and
create
another
commission,
it
will
make
recommendations
great
good
fine.
M
I
have
a
bridge
alarm
bridge
where
there's
a
net
under
it,
because
the
keep
the
bridge
chunks
from
hitting
people
driving
down
washington
boulevard
right.
I
have
a
bridge
right
now
that
fern
fella
was
in
my
district
too
there's
one
completely
in
my
district
and
it's
falling
down.
So
there
are
three
things
that
have
to
happen
and
we
have
to
do
it
one.
We
have
to
devise
an
infrastructure
improvement
plan
we
need
to
consciously,
because
we
at
council
is
the
capital
budget
is
ours.
M
This
will
go
in
the
capital
budget
and
we
are
responsible
for
it.
So
we
have
to
devise
an
infrastructure
improvement
plan
specific
to
projects
and
infrastructure
that
we
have
to
approve,
and
we
have
to
implement
council
has
to
do
that.
Second
of
all,
we
have
to
raise
additional
capital.
The
reason
that
a
lot
of
these
projects
don't
get
done
is
because
they
have
to
be
shovel
ready
for
state
and
federal
resources
and
they
make
them
shovel
ready,
there's
no
money
in
the
federal
and
state
level
to
do
that.
M
M
Third
of
all,
once
we
have
a
capital
plan
and
once
we
have
additional
capital,
then
someone
has
to
oversee
those
projects
and
make
sure
they're
done
timely
and
appropriate.
And
again
that's
our
responsibility
all
right,
but
the
president
said
pete
budeck
said,
and
I'm
going
to
say
that
this
has
to
be
done
with
equity
as
a
priority.
We
passed
in
the
last
few
years,
racism,
the
public
health
crisis,
that
block
communities
matter
and
that
we
would
and
have
investment
priorities
for
black
communities.
M
M
Erp
dollars
right
same
thing
that
whatever
commission,
whatever
else
we
do,
we
get.
We
get
back
these
reports,
but
once
it
comes
to
us,
it
becomes
councils
and
we
need
a
process
to
do
this,
and
so
my
view
is
we
create
this.
The
same
way
a
task
force
made
up
of
the
council
and
the
mayor,
and
we
get
these
recommendations.
M
We
begin
to
craft
this
plan
we
use,
because
only
three
of
us
four
of
us
can
meet
together.
We
negotiate
with
them.
We
negotiate
with
the
body
so
that
we
on
the
front
end,
have
input
to
what
the
project
should
be
with
the
funding
stream
should
be
prior
to
it
hitting
this
table,
then
we
get
a
second
buy
of
the
apple
we
negotiate
with
the
administration,
but
then
it
comes
to
council
and
then,
as
a
group,
we
negotiate
what
the
plan
looks
like
in
terms
of
equity.
M
So
what
I'm
trying
to
do
functionally
is
to
a
make
sure
it's
equitable,
b,
empower
council
to
be
responsible.
I
wanna
wait,
I
don't
wanna,
wait,
I
don't
I
don't
wanna,
I
don't
wanna
wait
for
a
report
from
here's.
What
I'm
gonna
give
you
today
and
I'll
do
it
later,
but
let
me
give
you
right
now:
do
you
remember
johnny
carson
I
used
to
do
carnac.
I
don't
know
I'm.
Maybe
I'm
I'm
the
aging
myself.
You
don't
know
anything
about
this
right
now.
I
heard.
M
M
We
have
at
least
20
bridges,
there
are
endangered
and
all
of
them
are
bad
number.
Two.
We
don't
have
enough
money
to
put
to
fund
them
number
three.
We
have
to
raise
more
money
to
fix
the
bridges
and
we
have
to
do
it
now.
I
I
don't
want
to
wait
six
months.
I
don't
want
to
wait
five
months.
Let's
we
already
know
what
to
do.
Let's
go
do
this,
so
what
my
idea
is,
let's
just
go
start
doing
it.
Let's
start
talking
about
how
to
raise
the
money.
M
Let's
go
talk
talking
about
how
to
how
what
taxes
to
increase.
None
of
that
that
that's
not
the
commission's
responsibility.
That's
council's
responsibility!
That's
our
role!
It's
our
role
to
be
leaders
we
now
and
it
has
to
be
done
equitably,
but
this
is
all
the
only
people
can
do.
The
things
I'm
saying
is
council
and
the
administration,
no
commission,
no
unelected
group
of
people
should
be
talking
to
us
about
raising
taxes.
No
unelected
group
of
people
should
be
talking
about
putting
together
a
capital
in
a
capital
plan
in
the
in
the
capital
budget.
M
Now
I'm
willing
to
to
to
to
to
compromise
I'm
not
I'm,
but
I'm
I'm,
as
I
always
do.
This
is
how
we
did
the
arp
money
and
informally.
M
S
First
of
all,
equity
with
infrastructure-
I
agree
with
you:
100
equity
with
bridges
are
equity
with
bridges.
The
worst
bridge
the
one
has
horse
report
gets
fixed
for
us,
no
matter
where
it's
at.
As
far
as
my
concern
goes,
I
was
concerned
about
the
task
force
number
one.
I
was
very
comfortable
with
what
councilman
o'connor
put
forth.
You
know
with
engineers
and
the
way
I
read
it
was
we're
going
to
get
eyes
on
these
bridges.
Okay,
the
22
at
least
that
we
have
rated
poorly
and
then
get.
S
You
know
we
have
engineers,
we
have
trades
people
going
out
and,
looking
those
I
didn't
know,
the
task
force
was
going
to
be
introduced
yesterday.
I
understand
the
reason
for
it.
I
would
prefer
to
hold
it,
so
we
don't
have
to
think
in
two
different
directions.
I
would
much
rather
see
councilman
o'connor
adjust.
His
make.
Amendments
is
to
make
other
council
people
happy
as
to
you
know
the
language
in
it,
but
so
so
it's
not
that
I
don't
support
the
task
force.
T
S
Just
you
know
thought
we're
dealing
with
the
same
subject
and
we
have
two
separate
bills
here
and
I'd
rather
not
think
it
two
separate
things
at
once
in
the
task
force.
You
know
when
I
look
at
corey's
bill
with
engineers
and
trades
people
on
it
and
professionals,
and
the
task
force
is
just
made
up
of
three
leadership
in
the
mayor's
office.
So
so
I
wasn't
quite
sure
where
we're
going
with
it
or
who's
going
to
be
involved
with
it.
I
am
the
chair
of
domi
and
public
works.
S
I
thought
I
would
be
a
likely
person
to
be
sit
there,
but
but
be
that
resume.
I
I
really
can't
support
it
today.
You
know
I
wish
we
could
hold
it
or
you
know
talk
about
it
later
today.
N
S
N
That
I'm
not
saying
you
are
definitely
I'm
saying,
that's
what
I
would
probably
do.
Okay,
okay,
but-
and
I
think
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
members
that
do
want
to
serve
if
they
so
I
just
want.
I
have
a
concern
with
the
I've
said
this
before
with
commissions
period,
I
mean
when
we
move
them
forward.
I
I
know
that
sometimes
they're
necessary,
but
I
do
have
a
concern
with
with
any
forming
commissions
that
might
not
come.
Things
may
not
come
through
council.
N
I
think
it's
always
a
way
of
circumventing
council
and
so
and
then
we
can't
discuss
it
here
at
the
table
and
that's
where
sometimes
some
issues
arise.
So
for
me
I
always
feel
a
little
bit
uncomfortable
with
that,
but
I
did
talk
to
councilman
o'connor.
I've
spoken
with
councilwoman
strasberger
and
I'm
feeling
a
little
bit
more
comfortable,
but
I
I
this
piece
knowing
that
it's
definitely
going
to
come
back
to
council
and
that
there'll
be
no
misunderstanding.
It
will
definitely
be
here.
I
feel
a
little
bit.
N
O
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it,
so
I
we
have
both
in
front
of
us,
even
though
we
haven't
read
the
o'connor
piece
and
its
amendment,
but
I'm
asking
like
steph
is
actually
bringing
me
the
print
copy.
I've
been
trying
to
read
it
on
my
phone.
I
actually
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
say
I
really
need
my
paper
text
files
back
again.
O
N
O
Okay,
bruce
stole
mine,
so
I
apologize.
I
didn't
know
that
anybody
had
them.
I
could
I
had
this
other
green
packet
here,
and
so
it's
hard
to
talk
about
this
one
without
talking
about
councilman
o'connor.
So
I
know
we
haven't
read
it
yet,
and
what
I
was
advocating
for
to
mr
o'connor
last
night
was
that
his
commission
should
prioritize
bridges
now,
and
the
first
draft
had
very
broad
language
to
say
the
word
infrastructure
and
again
as
as
councilman
burgess
pointed
out,
that
could
be
broadband.
O
It
could
be
just
regular
road
paving,
and
I
think
the
urgency
that
this
council
wants
to
see-
and
the
public
wants
to
see-
is
us
talking
about
bridges
now
and
figuring
out
a
plan,
so
I'm
supportive
for
to
an
amendment
that
is
in
the
next
bill,
which
prioritizes
bridges
but
also
councilman
o'connor
later
it
still
says,
including
but
not
limited
to,
and
it
has
a
bunch
of
other
stuff
in
it
that
I
would
like
to
see
taken
out
and
then
it
be
more
like
a
task
force
kind
of
thing
where
it
reports
back
quickly
to
counsel
so
then
we
can
get
moving
and
take
action,
find
the
funding
hire
the
people
do
the
stuff
and
not
that
it
just
goes
away
and
talks
a
lot.
O
That's
what
I
do
not
want
to
see
and
I
think
what
the
public
does
not
would
not
feel
encouraged
by
and
then
so.
Secondly,
this
equitable
distribution
of
infrastructure
funds
in
councilman
burgess's
bill
is
very
broad
and
does
talk
a
lot
about
a
variety
of
kinds
of
infrastructure
and
says
prioritizing
investments
in
community-based
violence
and
crime
prevention.
O
M
O
So,
in
some
respects
this
is
very
different.
What
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
is
the
part
where
you're
actually
talking
about
hard
infrastructure.
So
what
is
that,
in
section
two,
the
capital
budget
type
expenditure
will
specifically
investigate
increased
infrastructure
funding,
including
any
potential
funds
to
be
allocated
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
O
I
find
that
I
feel
like
this
could
just
use
a
little
bit
also
tightening
up
fair
enough
okay.
So
maybe
we
should
also
do
that,
but
again
I'm
with
you.
I
don't
want
to
wait.
I
do
want
this
council
to
talk
about
what
we
want
from
whom,
when
so,
I
think
in
both
of
these
pieces.
That's
really
what
it's
our
job
to
do,
let's
make
some
decisions
so
that
we
can
get
things
done
sooner
all
right.
So
thank
you.
O
K
K
So
I'm
concerned
about
the
time
and
effort
that
goes
into
this
with
our
engineers
and
if
we
have
the
staff
capacity,
you
know
they
answer
that
question
right
now,
so
we're
we
got
a
task
force
bill.
We
got
a
committee
bill.
K
Can
you
please
explain,
or
you
know,
maybe
we
can
set
up
next
time
or
something
if,
if
there's
not
a
full,
concise
answer
right
now,
you
need
to
explain
the
process
for
how
money
comes
in
we
designate
I
mean
you
could
probably
answer
this
question
that
the
task
force
is
talking
about
the
committee's
talking
about.
Can
we
just
start
with
you
and
just
ask
you
how
we
prioritize
the
money
that
we
have
to
fix
bridges?
K
We
have
multiple
poor
bridges.
We
need
to
take
a
step
back
and
realize
that,
just
because
the
bridge
is
poor,
poorly
rated,
it's
not
going
to
fall
down.
So
how
are
we
going
about?
U
You're
right,
that
is,
there's
a
lot
there.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
sources
of
money,
there's
a
lot
of
different
sources
of
information
about
our
bridges.
You
know
I
described
last
week
at
this
meeting
that
the
majority
of
the
city's
own
bridges
are
part
of
the
national
bridge
inspection
standard
requirement,
and
so
they
are
required
to
be
inspected
every
two
years,
and
that
is
a
contract.
U
You
know
that
exists,
that's
with
penndot
and
the
city,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
good
information
through
that
there
is.
There
is
language
that
is
used
in
inspection
reports,
that
without
understanding
exactly
why
that
terminology
is
used,
it
can
maybe
sound
more
severe
than
our
understanding
from
a
technical
perspective,
and
so
that's
the
sort
of
human
touch
that
I
think
any
additional
new
reporting
would
require
from
the
department
would
be
interpretation
and
and
conveyance
of
those
resources
that
do
exist
and
that
are
used
to
prioritize
investment.
U
U
People
and
the
money
for
those
people
to
write
these
contracts,
get
through
the
reimbursement
agreement
and
then
the
money
to
actually
do
the
work.
So
you
know
there
are
some
opportunities
that
are
in
place.
We
do
have
many
of
our
bridges
that
I
think
have
been
referred
to
earlier,
they're
on
plans
for
investment
in
the
next.
You
know
few
years,
they're
within
the
states
tip
they're
within
other
resources,
but
the
reality
is
we
need
more.
We
have
more
bridges
than
we
have.
We.
U
K
But
until
we
get
the
money,
you're
monitoring
the
bridges
until
it,
you
know
it
becomes
a
point
of
certainty
that
we
should
close
a
bridge
or
close
one
lane
of
traffic
to
ensure
the
safety
of
people
that
travel
across
that
bridge
right.
K
We
also
have
experts
in
your
department
that
are
doing
the
same
thing,
so
I
just
want
to
be
mindful,
as
we
move
forward
that
we're
continually
asking
the
department
what
they
need.
I
want
to
be
supportive
of
what's
going
on
here.
I
just
wanted
to
state
my
position
that
we
just
need
to
keep
realizing
that
the
needs
at
the
department,
because-
and
I
believe
that
we
have
the
expertise,
professionals,
we
need
the
money
and
we
need
to
trust
their
expertise.
A
So
in
my
mind,
you
sort
of
have
two
things.
One
is,
and
I
think,
councilman
gross
you're
right.
We
should
probably
tighten
up
reverend
versus
bill,
but
in
my
mind,
it's
very
specific
to
all
things:
go
well
we're
going
to
have
an
infusion
of
resources
from
the
federal
government
and
we
have
to
determine
how
to
best
spend
those
dollars.
This
bill
should
be
doing
that
how
to
spend
what's
coming
and
in
addition
to
that,
how
to
get
the
additional
resources
you
need
for
domi
to
be
able
to
do
their
job
right.
A
A
So
I
think
two
I
think
both
can
be
compatible
and
be
and
be
worked
through
on
the
table.
I
think
both
can
can
work
alongside
one
another,
and
so
my
suggestion
would
be.
Maybe
we
hold
it
a
week.
Work
with
the
councilman,
tighten
it
up
so
that
it
isn't
going
to
do
exactly
what
we
want
it
to
do
and
then
pass
it.
That
would
be
my
my
personal
recommendation.
A
P
P
And
you
get
one
first
side
it
does.
It
can
be
second
whatever,
but
I
I
just
wholeheartedly
agree
about
the
going
after
my
the
funding
piece.
G
P
Regardless
of
who's
doing
it,
we
have
to
get
our
arms
and
its
counsel
and,
however,
we
decide
to
do
it
along
with
the
administration
and
staff
we
I
mean
there
will
be
some
dollars
flowing
to
us
from
the
federal
government,
but
unless
we
go
after
it,
we
will
not
get
those
funds
right.
Most
of
those
federal
infrastructure,
dollar
or
infrastructure
bill
dollars
will
be
competitive
and
we'll
be
competing
against
other
cities
and
states.
P
So
we
do
have
to
figure
out
some
mechanism
and
have
a
set
of
people
who
are
really
focused
on
setting
that
plan
so
that
we
can
go
after
those
dollars
and
win
those
dollars
in
addition
to
the
ones
that
are
just
going
to
flow
to
us.
Naturally,.
O
It's
really
a
full-time
job
to
go
after
federal
funds
and
then
manage
the
reporting
on
them
and
manage
just
even
the
grants,
management
parts
and
we
do
have
grants
management.
But
this
is
an
unusual
and
extra
moment.
So
I'd
like
us
also
to
be
talking
about
that
not
just
not
today,
but
we
need
to
be
talking
about
that
very
soon.
K
I
just
wanted
to.
I
just
want
to
bring
up
the
word
aside
because
a
lot
of
the
in
this
conversation,
some
of
you,
are
using
the
word
like
and
then
we'll
decide
what
infrastructure
gets
done.
I
want
to
be
careful
of
like
who
decides,
because
you
know.
Obviously
I
want
to
point
to
the
experts,
the
engineers,
the
inspectors
who
have
you
know
to
rely
on.
K
I
mean,
as
far
as
I
know,
you
know
who
I'll
ask
the
director
of
domi
who
has
been
making
the
decision
on
which,
like
which
bridge
gets
done
next.
U
I
think
that
I
don't
know,
there's
probably
more,
to
talk
about
with
that.
There's
a
lot
of
variables
that
go
into
it,
eligibility
of
which
bridges
the
type
of
funding
that's
available.
The
type
of
recommended
repair
also
unlocks
different
eligibilities.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
variables
that
go
into
making
that
decision,
but
that,
at
this
time
you
know,
is
a
combination
of
the
department
where
we
make
recommendations
to
council
on
an
annual
basis
for
specific
projects.
U
So
we
recommend
for
budget
for
certain
projects
that
we've
identified,
based
on
condition
based
on
equity
based
on
location
things
like
that.
So
it's
a
it's
a
blended
effort.
You
know
we
ask
sometimes
we
receive.
I
do
want
to
point
out
just
briefly
that
our
department
does
have
a
number
of
plans,
and
I
think
that
the
work
that
we're
talking
about
here
is
akin
to
something
like
this.
U
I'm
holding
up
for
those
who
can't
see
it's
our
steps,
plan
that
was
published
in
may
of
2018
that
prioritized
the
800
approximately
step
sets
of
steps
within
the
city.
Recognizing
that
we've
got
800
sets
of
steps.
They
have
different
amounts
of
utilization.
They
are
in
different
states
in
terms
of
their
condition,
and
we
need
to
prioritize
them
based
on
those
sorts
of
variables
and
we
were
able
to
take
a
strategic
look
at
those,
and
what
came
out
of
this
was
a
five-year
recommendation
for
steps.
U
Investment
bridges
have
something
similar,
not
necessarily
you
know,
a
beautifully
bounded
document,
but
in
with
the
penndot
reporting
systems
and
things
of
that
nature
that
those
inspection
reports
go
into.
We
have
a
lot
of
that
information
available
to
us
and
we
do
utilize
it
and
strategize
using
it.
Similarly,
so
I
did
want
to
highlight-
because
I
don't
think
we've
done
that
yet
in
this
forum,
that
this
is
the
work
that
the
department
does
and
we
do
appreciate
insight
and
visibility
into
that
work,
because
we
recognize
that
a
lot
of
it
happens.
U
You
know
upstairs
and
not
down
here
in
front
of
the
public,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
known.
We
also
have
a
2021
strategic
action
agenda
that
has
an
asset
management
section
to
it,
and
I
can
make
this
available
to
anybody
who
is
interested.
U
It
was
born
out
of
the
2070
vision
plan
process,
which
is
available
on
our
website,
and
we
have
an
asset
management
section
that
specifically
calls
out
things
like
number
one:
key
action
work
with
omb
to
develop
a
strategy
for
assessing
and
regularly
inspecting,
most
critical
structures,
including
short
span
and
non-vehicular
bridges,
etc.
So
I
just
want
to
call
out
that
a
lot
of
this
work
that
we're
talking
about
is
done
and
some
of
the
questions
about
what
resources
are
needed
to
actually
elevate
this
work
and
be
able
to
fulfill.
K
S
Be
quick,
madam
president,
I
want
to
retract
my
statement.
I
think
of
the
task
force
is
about
securing
funds.
I
think
I
could
be
very
helpful
there.
Maybe
I
misinterpreted
it,
but
if
it's
about
lobbying
or
soliciting
funds,
I
very
much
would
be
like
to
be
a
part
of
that
and
once
we
clean
up
the
you
know
when
counseling
goes
too,
I'm
not
trying
to
push
her
out
so
anyway,
and
you
know
for
me
this.
This
whole
conversation
is
about
the
22
bridges
that
we
have
that
are
rated
poorly.
S
I
saw
councilwoman
strasberger
on
the
news,
the
other
day
with
a
4x4
post,
supporting
a
steel
beam,
and
I
thought
as
quickly
as
we
can
get
professional
eyes
on
some
of
these
bridges
other
than
relying
on
the
studies
and
who
we
hire
to
do
that.
I'm
talking
immediately
and
when
I
see
something
like
that,
you
know
4x4
aluminized
posts
holding
up
steel
frame
bridges.
S
You
know
red
flags
go
up
with
me,
so
I
think
councilman
o'connor
with
the
engineers
and
the
people
that
he's
trying
to
bring
to
the
table
spending
will
always
come
back
to
us.
So
you
know
I'm
not
real
concerned
as
to
what
they're
going
to
recommend,
because
you
know
we
always
have
to
approve
the
spending
so,
okay,
that's
it
thanks.
Thank.
M
So
one
week
I
appreciate
for
me:
yes.
M
I'll
hold
for
one
week
and
I'll
ch
I'll
work
with
councilwoman
gross
and
all
members
to
tighten
up
the
language,
and
but
I
I
I
will
say
this
again.
Thank
you
very
much
domi
director
for
saying
what
I
kind
of
already
knew,
but
you
said
it
out
loud.
We've
already
done
the
research,
we
don't
need
research,
we
need
money
and
decisions,
that's
what
we
need
motion
to
hold
one
week.
A
V
You
can
do
it
together,
it's
fine.
I
don't.
M
B
V
Yes
sure
so,
on
this
bill
there
is
an
amendment,
it's
amendment
for
both
bills,
so
motion
to
amend.
Second,
the
discussion
on
the
amendment
will
be
the
same
for
the
next
bill.
It
just
specifies
bridges,
tunnels,
roadways,
landslides.
V
The
amendment
for
the
next
bill
for
the
commission
will
add
the
same
thing
only
it
will
have
them
come
back
to
council
and
report
two
times
a
year
at
this
point,
possibly
going
to
quarterly.
Let's
see
how
the
first
couple
rounds
of
meetings
go
with
the
commission,
but
with
regards
to
this
bill,
this
bill
will
focus
on
transparency.
V
You
know
we're
hearing
from
the
public.
Obviously
we
understand
you
know
a
lot
of
ratings
and
the
domi
has
this
information,
but
it's
not
easily
accessible
to
residents,
and
I
think
when
we
start
talking
about
the
conditions
our
bridges
are
in
and
that
law
has
already
amended
this
bill
that
we
did
last
week,
and
I
want
to
thank
councilwoman
strasberger
for
doing
that
last
week
as
well
as
councilman
coghill
for
his
co-sponsorship
support,
as
well
as
councilwoman
gross
for
those
two
specific
amendments
that
I
just
added.
V
The
transparency
that
we're
going
to
see
is
to
add
this
to
our
dashboard
system,
so
that
everybody
knows
what
condition
they're
in
where
they
are
when
they're
going
to
be
inspected,
everything
that
the
general
public
has
been
asking
us
about
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
since
the
bridge
had
collapsed,
the
department
of
mobility
has
mentioned
that
they
need
additional
funding
for
this,
which
I
think
is
great
and
the
mayor's
office
who
is
in
charge
of
that
department
has
already
committed
to
once
these
bills
go
through
looking
at
funding
to
add
those
specific
support
systems
to
that
department,
so
we're
all
on
the
right
page
here.
V
I
think
everybody
wants
transparency
with
our
bridges
and
tunnels
and
other
major
infrastructure
that
domi
goes
out
and
inspects.
So
once
that's
passed
and
talking
with
the
administration
who
again
is
in
charge
of
domi,
they
have
acknowledged
that
there
is
support
that
they
will
find
in
the
budget
to
to
do
what
domi's
talking
about.
So
I
think,
overall,
this
is
a
win
for
everybody.
It's
went
for
transparency
and
it's
a
win
for
moving
our
infrastructure
forward.
So
thank
everybody
for
their
support
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
moving
this
bill
forward.
M
Have
a
question
so
practically
I
call
this
the
nightmare
scenario
we're
going
to
to
the
public
list
that
we
are
fail.
Our
infrastructure
is
failing
dramatically.
That's
what
we're
going
to
do
now
we're
going
to
do
that
at
a
time-
and
I
heard
about
representing
the
public
as
council
people,
we
have
a
dual
responsibility.
I
want
to
remind
you
of
our
dual
responsibility.
M
B
T
To
anthony
bilin
assistant
city
solicitor
for
discussions
of
pending
claims
against
the
law
department
would
be
our
advice
that
we
either
recess
into
executive
session,
or
that
council
makes
a
motion
to
request
an
opinion
from
the
law
department
are.
M
We
are
currently
being
sued.
More
lawsuits
are
coming,
we're
going
to
now
put
something
in
the
public
that
will
compromise
our
position
and
will
be
inconsistent.
We
will,
if
we
do
this,
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
we
were
doing
we
are
we
are
we
are
up.
We
are.
We
are
not
fulfilling
our
role
as
fiduciary
officers
of
the
municipal
corporation.
M
We
are
in
actuality
both
inviting
and
promoting
both
current
and
possible
future
litigation
against
the
municipal
corporation.
This
is
legislative,
my
practice.
We
should
not
be
doing
this
this.
We
should
do
this,
maybe
afterwards,
maybe
a
year
from
now,
but
right
now,
the
city's
being
sued.
For
this
exact
reason,
the
exact
same
information-
and
we
should
not
be
doing
this
today-
I'm
one
I'm
going
to
have
that
and
I'm
sure
if
you
want
to
have
an
executive
session,
I'm
sure
the
law
department
will
tell
you
the
same
thing.
C
Of
order
yeah,
thank
you,
so
I
I
think,
as
fiduciary
agents
for
this
city,
we
take
the
advice
of
our
solicitor
and
we
enter
an
executive
session
to
discuss
this
matter
I'll
motion
to
go
into
executive
session.
Second,.
V
A
A
S
A
We
will
now
resume
our
standing
committee
agenda
coming
out
of
it
after
meeting
with
our
solicitor
and
having
executive
session
for
the
record.
The
purpose
of
our
executive
session
was
to
consult
with
our
attorney
or
other
professional
advisor
regarding
information
or
strategy
in
connection
with
litigation
or
with
issues
of
which
identifiable
complaints
are
expected
to
be
filed,
as
it
relates
to
bill
77
with
that
bill.
77
is
still
on
the
open
on
the
table
and
we're
still
on
the
amendment.
A
A
V
Discussion,
yes,
so
can
I
make
a
motion
to
amend.
C
V
Professional,
the
the
amendment
was
in
discussion
with
councilwoman
gross,
to
be
more
specific
on
what
the
committee
is
going
to
look
at
so
bridges,
tunnels,
roadways,
landslides
and
then
also
have
them
report
back
to
council
two
times
a
year.
O
Thank
you.
Yes
thank
you,
councilman
o'connor,
for
taking
my
concerns
and
putting
them
in
this
language
that
this
commission
should
be
bringing
its
feedback
to
council
and
to
the
public
and
that
we
prioritize
the
the
major
infrastructure
that
there's
not
only
concerns
from
the
public
about,
but
that
there's
opportunity
in
washington
dc
for
federal
funding
right
now.
Right,
and
so
we
need
these
this
information
so
that
we
can
have
our
public
conversations
and
make
decisions
about
them.
O
O
That
is
talking
about
types
of
projects
that
it
has
not
been
tasked
to
do
by
this
body,
such
as
broadband
or
social
infrastructure
like
child
care
and
because
the
word
infrastructure
is
just
too
broad
for
me,
and
so
I
still
don't
like
the
phrase
such
as,
but
not
limited
to,
because
I
think
that
empowers
the
commission
to
go
anywhere.
They
want
to
go
in
subject
matter
and
I
would
prefer
it
stay
on
task.
O
That
is
this
body
tasks
it
with.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
will
at
the
table
here
to
just
strike
that
phrase
such
as,
but
not
limited
to,
which
is
just
between
the
commas
and
then,
if
we
did
that
it
would
read
to
advise
on
best
practices
for
both
short
and
long-term
investment
in
the
upkeep
and
improvement
of
major
city
maintained
infrastructure
assets.
O
But
I
think
we
could
be
okay
with
that
for
now
so
long
as
we're
assured
that
the
commission
is
staying
on
task
and-
and
I
bring
that
up
because
it
has
and
the
membership
I'd
like
to
read
that
section
as
well.
O
The
the
representatives
on
the
commission
are
proposed
to
be
one
representative
of
city
council
to
be
recommended
by
the
city
council
president
and
communicated
to
the
mayor,
one
representative
of
the
mayor,
one
representative
of
the
city
controller,
one
representative
of
the
office
of
management
and
budget,
two
representatives
of
domi,
one
representative
of
dpw,
one
representative
of
the
department
of
public
safety,
one
representative
of
the
department
of
permits
licenses
and
inspections.
O
And
I
would
be
more
comfortable
with
more
subject
matter:
experts,
those
those
representatives
may
or
may
not
be
subject
matter:
experts
of
bridges,
tunnels,
major
roadways
and
or
infrastructure
affected
by
a
risk
of
affected
by
landslides
right.
So
while
that
might
actually
be
a
really
good
set
of
people
for
finding
money,
then
we
will
have
that
tasked
two
different
groups
with
finding
money.
So
I
I
kind
of
feel
that
there's
still
a
little
bit
of
blurred
mission
here
in
this
commission.
O
So
I'm
grateful
for
these
amendments
here.
Perhaps
we
also
continue
to
clarify
so
that
we
we
get
the
results
that
we've
been
talking
about
during
this
entire
meeting,
setting
some
priorities,
making
some
decisions
tasking
it
out,
building
out
the
operating
budget
with
the
people
who
can
manage
these
projects
as
well
as
building
out
the
operating
budget
with
people
who
can
go
after
the
money
for
the
projects
that
this
council
table
identifies
this
priority.
So.
O
O
After
the
table-
and
there
are
other
places
that
are
mainly
concerned
about
the
section
which
is
under
purpose
and
duties
that
I
mentioned
so,
I
think
grammatically-
it
makes
sense
to
just
strike
the
words
but
not
limited
to
and
the
comma.
That
follows
so
keeps.
O
B
S
A
Your
amendment
has
been
amended,
we're
still
on
the
the
newly
amended
version.
Councilman
burgess.
F
A
M
M
M
I've
been
to
their
parties,
but
there's
not
african-americans
there.
Both
these
two
groups
are
underrepresented
in
terms
of
african-american
and
women.
So
we
we
set
up
this
membership.
We
give
preference
to
what
we
know
are
going
to
probably
be
four
white
men.
There's.
No,
we
don't
name
the
african-american
chamber
of
commerce.
We
don't
name
the
african-american
engineering
firms.
We
don't
name
african
americans
that
are
participating,
so
we
should
do
one
of
two
things.
M
We
either
should
strike
out
anybody
so
that
you
know
the
mayor
can
name
whoever
he
thinks
for
the
commission
or
let's
go
back,
and
let's
make
this
diverse
and
equitable.
If
you're
going
to
name
people,
don't
name
a
group
of
people
and
then
leave
out
the
majority,
no
leave
off
the
entirety
of
the
african-american
community,
I'm
going
to
suggest
to
you
that's
a
little
insulting.
M
It
was
a
it.
Is
it's
a
little
insulting.
This
is
not
1957
where
you
can
exclude
african
americans
and
we
don't
see
it
in
broad
daylight.
This
is
this
this
this.
This
is
a
slap
in
the
face
to
us.
If
you're
going
to
name
people,
then
we
want
to
be
named
too.
We
want
what
what
they
say
about
diversity.
I
think
the
brookings
institute
says
the
best.
We
want
equity
at
the
table
when
decisions
are
made.
V
I
mean
I,
I
can
speak
and
you
know
obviously
happy
to
amend
by
tuesday
if
we
need
to
clarify,
but
I
have
a
commitment
and
the
mayor's
office
is
committed
to
making
this
board
very
diverse
as
well.
I
think
you
know
these
are
actual
these
individuals
that
will
be.
There
will
talk
about
all
of
the
issues
that
we're
talking
about
and
also
they're
experts
in
this
field.
So
we
talk
about
domi
needing
help
and
support.
V
This
commission
will
help
domi
to
do
that.
They
are
very
understaffed.
We
all
know
that
this
will
allow
experts
in
those
fields
to
be
at
the
table
to
help
us
with
recommendations
all
of
a
sudden
there's
an
emergency,
and
we
need
an
engineer.
That's
what
we're
looking
for
to
be
on
this
board
to
give
their
advice
and
help
us,
and
I
fully
agree
to
make
an
amendment
if
it
needs
to
be
written.
V
I
thought
we
already
had
legislation
in
the
past
that
things
had
to
be
equitable,
but
if
we
have
to
put
a
line
in
there
somewhere
and
in
a
membership,
I
will
look
at
it
by
tuesday
and
that
I'm
perfectly
fine
with
accommodating
that.
But
the
overall
bill
is
great
because
we
bring
people
that
are
going
to
volunteer
their
time
to
come
to
the
table
and
talk
to
us
about
engineering,
about
details
about
other
things
that
happened
at
the
state
level.
That
domi
is
not
aware
of
that.
V
We
can
use
their
resources
to
ensure
that
our
future
infrastructure,
as
well
as
our
existing
infrastructure,
gets
the
best
practices,
and
this
is
something
that
is
needed.
It
should
have
been
done
years
ago,
and
this
is
something
that
you
know,
I
think
is-
is
great
that
we're
talking
about
it,
but
I
think
moving
forward.
We
can
look
and
speak
with
other
members
who
need
amendments.
Councilman
gross
called
me
last
night
happy
to
amend
this
morning.
V
Hearing
about
this
from
reverend
burgess
right
now
happy
to
amen
by
tuesday,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
their
support
and
know
that
you
know
the
mayor's
office
is
fully
committed
to
a
great
board.
That
brings
everybody
to
the
table,
because
infrastructure
is
about
everybody,
and
it's
about
everybody's
safety
and
improving
the
safety
of
everybody
in
the
city
is
really
important.
So
thank
you.
V
I'm
ready
to
move
forward
with
the
amendment
and
then,
if
we
need
to
amend
and
talk
to
members
about
what
that
language
looks
like
by
tuesday
happy
to
do
so.
N
I
just
want
to
say
I
think
that
I
hear
what
reverend
burgess
is
saying,
but
I
also
know
that
our
mayor
is
committed
to
you
know
making
sure
that
we
have
a
diversity
and
diversity
in
every
sense.
So
I'm
comfortable
with
this
as
long
as
we're,
you
know,
working
together
over
the
next
week
on
making
sure
if
there's
any
final
amendments,
we
have
we
put
him
in
together
working
with
him,
and
I
want
to
thank
councilman
o'connor
for
working
with
us
and
councilman
burgess.
N
M
I'm
I'm
willing
to
work
what
he
said
is
not
in
the
bill,
though
none
of
the
things
he
says
is
in
this
bill:
it
doesn't
specify
engineers,
it
doesn't
specify
technical
experts
and
we
should
not
have
to
rely
on
the
first
african
mayor
of
african-american
mayor,
because
this
will
outlive
the
mayor,
maybe
four
years
from
now.
Eight
years
from
now
we
won't
have
an
african-american
mayor,
and
so,
when
we
write
legislation,
that's
why
I
am
a
stickler
to
put
diversity
in
the
front.
End
equity
in
the
front
end
right
now.
M
I
know
for
sure
that
a
gainey
our
mayor
will
make
whatever
he
does
diverse
inequitable.
I
have
no
doubt
about
that,
but
he
will
not
be
mayor
for
life
and
this
commission
will
live
on
beyond
edging,
so
we
should
write
it
in
such
a
way
to
ensure
equity
and
diversity
is
baked
in
so
whoever
the
mayor
is,
and
whoever
council
is
that's
that's
what
we
promised
to
do.
We
said,
and
everything
and
every
time
we
will
embed
equity
and
diversity
and
everything
and
infrastructure
on
the
federal
level
was
designed
explicitly
to
promote
equity
and
diversity.
M
There's
no
way
we
should
write
a
committee
or
a
commission
on
infrastructure
that
doesn't
have
equity
and
diversity
embedded
in
it,
and
I'm
going
to
do
that.
But
that's
what
this
needs
it,
and
if
you
want
to
put
experts
on
it,
fine,
it
doesn't
say
experts.
It
says
a
representative
there's
no
record
there,
there's
nothing
on
here
that
talks
about
their
qualifications
or
their
expertise.
It's
leave
it
up
to
some
other
group,
I'm
saying
put
whatever
you
want
to
make
it
to
be.
Let's
put
in
the
legislation.
Let's
tighten
it
up.
M
A
If
not,
I
would
simply,
I
agree
with
councilman
burgess
that
we
should
be
more
specific
and
I
think
councilman
gross
mentioned
it
as
well
around
who
we
actually
want
on
the
membership.
So
as
opposed
to
simply
saying
to
representative
the
construction
industry,
I'd
rather
specify
and
say
explicitly
we're
going
to
go,
get
a
structural
engineer
right,
that's
what
they
do,
and
so
I
think
two
representatives
of
organized
labor.
A
I
think
we
should
be
a
little
more
specific
about
what
that
actually
looks
like,
because
that's
very
broad
and
I'm
certainly
willing
to
work
with
the
councilman
to
to
do
that.
B
A
A
E
A
N
N
A
K
O
You
second
and
thank
you
so
you
know
we
we've
discussed
inclusionary
zoning
here
before
I
want
to
thank
the
residents
who
showed
up
to
testify
the
council
many
times
who
showed
up
to
testify
at
the
planning
commission.
It
was
a
I
won't
discuss
much
because
we
still
need
to
hold
our
own
public
hearing,
but
this
is
the
expansion
to
include
both
bloomfield
and
polish
hill
into
the
existing
overlay,
which
is
based
on
the
lawrenceville
overlay.
O
So
just
a
reminder,
the
way
the
planning
department
brought
it
back
to
us
was
very
clever.
So
first
we
had
an
interim
planning
overlay
district
for
lawrenceville
and
in
making
it
permanent.
They
also
allowed
neighborhoods
to
be
able
to
adopt
to
join
that
overlay,
even
if
they
don't
have
contiguity.
O
Bloomfield
and
polish
hill
do,
and
I
think
that's
a
reflection
on
the
market
pressures
that
are
also
spreading
out
from
lawrenceville
in
a
way,
and
we
talked
about
them
spreading
to
other
neighborhoods,
but
it
is
possible
for
a
neighborhood
to
or
any
footprint
really
boundary
that
this
council
wants
to
specify
to
also
be
added
into
the
overlay,
no
matter
where
it
is
in
the
city.
So
again,
an
overlay
does
not
change
the
underlying
zoning
that
exists,
but
adds
an
extra
layer
of
requirements
on
top
of
it.
O
So
it's
an
overlay
but
looking
forward
to
hearing
more
from
citizens
at
the
public
hearing.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
Thank
you,
a
quick
question
for
you,
one
of
the
callers
this
morning,
maybe
miss
howe,
mentioned
a
specific
project
that
this
is
going
to
affect
that
now
we'll
have
19
units
of
little
housing.
You
know
what
project
that
is.
Not
you
can
tell
me
offline
sure.
O
O
It's
one
of
those
pittsburgh
things
the
site
that
was
the
sheer
save
used
to
be,
which
is
now
since
they
that
owner
of
that
grocery
store,
you
know,
wanted
to
retire
and
was
sitting
on
a
very
expensive
piece
of
real
estate.
He
ended
up.
It
was
going
on
for
years
that
he
wanted
to
sell.
There
was
other
developers
who
were
going
to
purchase
it
and
then
they
backed
out
because
of
community
desire
for
affordability.
O
A
number
of
years
ago,
I
sat
through
a
many
hour
community
meeting
with
400
residents.
There
was
over
300
residents
signed
in
with
their
address
in
bloomfield
being
very
clear
that
they
wanted
affordability
at
that
site,
so
it's
zoned
lnc.
This
is
underlying
base,
zoning,
which
will
stay
the
same
but
they're
proposing
you
know
somewhere
in
the
ballpark
of
200
luxury
units,
building
up
several
floors
and
building
up
for
the
whole.
You
know
it's
got
a
very
large
surface
parking
lot.
It's
been
there
for
many
decades,
so
it's
a.
A
Thank
you.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
holding
for
the
public
hearing
say
aye
all
right.
It
will
be
held
for
cable
class,
public
hearing
bill
64.
A
L
B
A
I
A
There
will
be
help
urban
recreation
committee
chaired
by
councilman
burgess,
one
new
paper
bill
93
bill.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
so
I
wanted
to
talk
about
this
bill
briefly.
Basically
we're
in
this
pandemic.
I
think
we've
definitely
all
seen
an
increased
need
for
our
parks
to
be
not
only
open
for
people
to
enjoy,
but
also
to
enjoy
freely
through
walking,
biking
hiking,
and
we
want
to
get
away
from
any
any
thought
that
a
park
is
going
to
be
a
car
centric
place.
So
reducing
the
speed
from
25
miles
per
hour
to
15
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
People
want
it.
K
People
have
been
asking
for
this,
and
you
know
it's
a
great
opportunity
right
now
to
do
this,
especially
since
we're
continuing
to
to
see
you
know
the
the
effects
of
the
pandemic,
and
it's
just
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
to
really
talk
about.
K
You
know
the
speed
that
people
are
going
on
our
streets.
It's
a
highlight
that
the
speed
should
be
reduced.
We're
trying
to
do
all
these
different
travel
coming
measures
to
make
the
our
streets
our
neighborhood
streets,
more
friendly
and
there's
some
there's
some
facts
about
this-
that
I
want
to
get
out
there
that,
right
now
our
parks
are
are
they're
at
25
miles
per
hour.
K
K
There
is
a
stat
out
there
that
you
know
when
a
pedestrian
is
struck
at
31
miles
per
hour,
that
half
the
time.
So,
if
you're
walking
across
the
street
with
your
loved
one,
one
of
you
are
going
to
be
in
a
serious
you're
going
to
occur,
you're
going
to
incur
a
serious
injury
so
with
that
stat
by
reducing
it
to
15.
K
You
know
good,
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
It's
the
safe
thing
to
do,
and
people
want
it.
N
O
Thank
you
so
councilman
wilson,
I
I
have
to
get
into
the
record
that
the
people
in
the
highland
park
reservoir
drive
committee
planning
committee
worked
with
domi
for
oh
and
dpw,
director,
casey
and
director
rix
for
over
a
year
and
have
were
asked.
Tell
me
to
do
the
research
for
this
code
change
so
that
you
know.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge,
because
we
spent
a
year
working
very
very
closely
with
the
directors
of
the
previous
administration
to
advocate
for
changing
the
speed
limit
at
reservoir
drive
to
15
miles
an
hour.
O
They
said
they
would
look
into
it.
They
thought
maybe
they
could
do
it.
They
did
the
research,
I'm
not
sure
how
it
got
to
your
desk,
but
I
I
would
like
to
be
added
as
a
co-sponsor
so,
but
I
really
need
to
give
those
citizens
credit
for
their
vociferous,
consistent,
tenacious
advocacy
for
this
code
change,
and
we
have
been
talking
about
it
for
many
years
at
the
table,
councilwoman
smith
has
been
asking
for
the
to
do
the
research
for
the
authority.
O
O
O
Some
people
are
biking
slowly,
they
might
be
on
tricycles
or
other
people
are
biking
fast
and
people
are
walking,
but
then
again
as
a
ride
wide
right
away,
cars
try
to
go
very
fast
around
as
well,
since
it's
a
one-way,
closed
loop,
they're
trying
to
get
back
out
of
the
park.
That
way
I
mean
so
it's
part
of
the
plan
for
that
reservoir
drive.
O
Domi
promised
us
came
back
and
said:
we're
able
to
do
this
change
and
we'll
be
painting
15
miles
an
hour
in
big
white
paint
and
down
the
middle
of
the
street,
and
we
have
other
design
changes
that
we're
making
as
well
there's
going
to
be
crosswalks
and
bumps
outs
where
there's
frequent
traffic.
This
is
the
site
that
everybody
knows
is
the
super
playground.
O
So
you
know
it's
a
destination
park
for
little
kids
as
well,
and
so
I
just
needed
to
give
make
sure
that
they
got
the
credit
where
the
credit
is
due
and
but
also
just
a
notice,
since
I've
talked
about
reservoir
drive
that
what
also
happened
was
that
the
funding
finally
got
put
into
place
to
reconstruct
a
historic
bridge
and
so
dpw
is
trying
to
close
reservoir
drive
two
cars
in
order
to
reconstruct
that
little
it's
a
little
this
you
know
one
of
those
kind
of
stone
you
you
don't
experience
it
as
a
bridge
when
you're,
really
walking
or
driving
on
reservoir
drive,
but
there's
a
little
walking
trail
under
it
to
connect.
O
So
you
don't
have
to
cross
the
street.
The
stones
have
been
dismantled
for
years
now
and
finally,
the
funding
is
a
place
to
historically
restore
this
beautiful
feature
of
the
park,
so
unfortunately
we're
trying
to
negotiate
with
both
dpw
so
that
they
can
do
their
work
safely,
but
also
with
dummy
to
try
to
keep
some
car
access,
because
it's
very
important
for
ada
access
to
the
park,
shelters
and
other
park
features
so
that
we're
we're
trying
to
navigate
those
waters.
Just
a
heads
up
to
the
public,
though
so.
O
But
if
you
wouldn't
mind
mr
wilson,
if
I'm
at
it
as
a
co-sponsor
and
I'm
I'm
really
happy
to
see
this
come
to
fruition.
I
N
Thank
you
I
just
want
to.
I
was
going
to
remark
and
say
that,
first
of
all,
thank
you.
Councilman
wilson,
I'd
like
to
be
added
as
a
sponsor
too,
and
I
did
work
on
the
speed
limit
issues
and
councilwoman
grossi
did
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
this,
and,
and
I
I
know
that
it
came
through.
I
believe
it
was
through
bike
pittsburgh
and
there
was
some
question
as
to
whether
who
was
working
on
who
was
cheering
what
committee.
But
it's
quite
frankly,
it's
the
way
women
are
treated
around
here.
N
N
But
I
do
want
to
thank
councilman
wilson
for
immediately
offering
to
work
with
the
women
on
council
and
to
address
this
issue,
and
I
think
he
that's
what
he
does
he's
really
good
at
getting
things
done
and
really
good
at
collaborating
and
working
with
people.
N
So
I
thank
you
councilman
wilson,
for
for
how
you
handle
everything
here
and
especially
for
getting
this
done,
because
one
of
the
reasons
I
was
interested
in
this
is
because
grandview
avenue
and
half
of
the
roadway
is
considered
park
and
we
have
a
lot
of
issues
with
speeding
on
there
and
I
didn't
want
to
see
a
lot
of
the
speed
bumps
that
they
have
on
there.
N
I
think
they're,
I
think
grainview
deserves
a
little
bit
better
aesthetics
than
speed
bumps
on
the
middle
of
it,
and
this
would
have
addressed
that
issue,
and
so
now,
hopefully
this
slows
down
people
on
grandview
and
the
and
and
then
it
slows
them
on
the
streets
coming
off
of
grandview,
because
they're
slowed
already.
So
I
think
that
it
will
have
a
benefit
for
mount
washington
and
duquesne
heights
in
that
area,
but
we
have
looked
into
city
council.
N
I
want
to
be
clear
the
reason
we're
able
to
change
this
because
it
is
in
parks,
because
the
question
is
that
we
cannot
change
or
the
com
we've
heard
over.
The
time
is
that
we
cannot
change
the
speed
limit.
That's
a
state
function
for
the
for
our
roads.
However,
we
can
do
it
for
parks
so
so
because
grand
views
park
park
they'll
benefit.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
work
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
be
out
of
this
response.
K
Yes,
thank
you
councilman
gross
and
thank
you
president
cal
smith.
I
just
want
to
you
know,
start
off
by
saying
that
look,
I'm
just
trying
to
get
it
done.
You
know
what
I
mean
like
we're
in
a
time
and
to
work
with
all
partners.
K
You
know
bike
pittsburgh
great
advocates
you
know
like
and
there
I
got
to
admit
you
know
people
like
to
push
back
on
this
there's
cold
feet,
but
we
need
to
take
a
stand
and
say
that
you
know
that
the
parks
are
for
people
that
are
on
foot
on
a
bicycle
they're
not
to
speed
through
it
all.
So
you
know
whenever,
when
I
see
something
and
when
I
hear
there's
a
there's
a
when
I
see
something
that's
wrong
and
I
see
an
avenue
where
we
could
correct
it.
K
I
want
to
put
it
on
the
table
and
get
it
done.
So
I
did
a
couple
things
here.
I
got
it's
gone
from
25
to
15,
but
also
we're
taking
away
parking
parks
and
recreation
director
in
this
in
this
language
in
473
point
4473.03,
a
basically
in
our
in
our
traffic
code.
K
You
know
previously
to
allow
parks
and
rec
to
designate
posted
signs,
so
I'm
changing
that
to
domi
director-
and
you
know
to
your
to
your
point,
president,
about
changing
the
speed
and
how
we
can
do
it
and
that's
where
I
really
rely
on
the
expertise
of
people
my
office
to
to
work
on
this
and
we
work
through
these
issues.
We're
working
with
law
working
with
domi,
and
so
we're
really
just
trying
to
get
this
done.
So
not
trying
to
stir
the
pot
at
all.
So.
K
Yeah
yeah,
so
you
can
rely
on
me
to
to
get
this,
get
this
going
and
get
it
done.
I'm
happy
to
do
it,
and
so
you
know
I
mean
like
so
you
know.
One
aspect
of
this
is
that
the
actual
studies
for
these
roads
will
be
done
by
domey.
So,
even
though
you
know
we
say
15,
there
are
gonna,
be
roads
like
there's
three
primary
roads
that
that
could
be.
You
know
that
could
be
changed,
so
they
don't
have
to
be
15
and
delmi
will
determine
that.
K
So,
but
you
know
it's
correct.
You
know
people
in
highland
park
want
it.
People
at
riverview
park
want
it.
K
My
my
I
have
to
drive
through
highland
park
to
to
drop
off
my
my
kids,
their
grandparents
and
some
of
those
turns
are
quite
sharp,
so
to
be
able
to
reduce
that
would
be
great
riverview
park.
There
is
no
sidewalk
for
the
cyclists,
just
like
other.
K
You
know
areas
that
have
that
loop
in
the
city
and
it's
you
know,
could
be
a
dangerous
situation.
So
we
reduce
the
speed.
It's
going
to
be
an
important
thing.
So,
oh
thank
you.
Thank
everyone.
P
Motion
to
amend
you
should
have
the
amendments
in
front
of
you.
This
is
really
just
a
correction
from
the
department
of
finance
from
last
week's
version
of
the
bill.
A
All
those
in
favor
of
the
amendment
say
aye
all
right
suppose
any
bill
is
amended
any
further
discussion
on
the
bill
as
amended,
if
not
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
the
opposed
bill
is
recommended
that
takes
us
to
intergovernmental
affairs
committee
chaired
by
councilwoman
gross.
Our
first
deferred
paper
is
bill.
44.
N
N
A
L
59
resolution
amending
resolution
470
that
originally
authorized
the
mayor
and
director
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
to
enter
into
a
corporation
agreement
with
the
port
authority
of
allegheny
county
allegheny
county
and
the
ura
concerning
the
bus
rapid
transit
project.
To
now,
through
an
amendment
to
the
aforementioned
corporation
agreement,
authorized
appropriation
of
an
amount
not
to
exceed
12
million
800
000
for
use
in
the
bus
rapid
transit
project
and
to
authorize
certain
property
transfers.
O
Question
to
approve
a
discussion,
so
I
asked
the
director
lucas
to
join
us
he's
on
camera.
So
I
appreciate
the
director
being
here
and
I
just
we've
had
a
long
meeting,
so
I
don't
know
how
many
questions
council
members
have,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
kind
of
more
detail
and
description
for
the
public
here
about
what's
happening.
First
of
all,
because
it's
12
million
12.8
million
dollars
nearly
13
million
dollars.
O
So
first
I'd
like
to
get
a
little
bit
of
background
about
the
money
director
that
what
are
the
sources
of
funds
here
in
our
and
again,
I
believe
we're
reading
it
right
that
this
bill
commits
city
councils
committing
those
dollars
to
this
project.
And
maybe
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
timeline.
It
doesn't
say
whether
it's
over
time
is
that
writing
a
check
today,
where's
the
source
funds.
Maybe
you
could
start
there.
Thank
you
and
you
have
to
identify
yourself
again.
Please
sure.
U
Ken
lucas
acting
director
for
the
city's
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
and
I'm
also
joined
by
steve
otterman,
who
is
the
project
manager
on
the
domey
side
for
the
brt,
the
bus,
rapid
transit
project?
So
I
want
to
start
with
pointing
out
that
this
is
a
235
million
dollar
project.
So
235
million
dollars
worth
of
investment
in
our
city
connecting
to
connecting
a
corridor
we're
of
the
bulk
of
our
employment
and
other
economic
opportunities.
O
Director
we've
had
a
very
long
way
if
you
could
just
answer
the
immediate
questions.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
So
if
you
could
talk
about
the
12.8
million
dollars
of
the
sources
of
funds
and
the
time
frame
over
which
that's
committed,
is
that
upfront
right
away
or
is
that
over
time,
some
of
those.
O
R
Those
are
listed
in
the
cooperation
agreement.
I'm
pulling
up
that
table
now.
O
Fine
and
then
I'll
just
let
you
know
that
the
second
question
I'm
going
to
have
is
that
again
for
the
public
and
in
our
legislative
record,
what
we
have
attached
to
this
legislation
is
a
bunch
of
charts
that
are
property
parcels
and
I
was
hoping
and
director.
I
apologize.
O
If
I
didn't
ask
you
this
directly
in
advance,
I
think
I
communicated
it
to
omb
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
I
thought
it
would
be
more
helpful
to
have
again
not
to
to
draw
out
the
conversation,
but
it
would
be
easier
to
have
these
kind
of
like
maybe
on
a
map
it
doesn't
even
have.
It
does
have
street
addresses,
but
there's
a
variety
of
parcels
that
are
listed
really
several
pages
of
parcels.
O
Some
of
them
will
just
be
right
away
like
we're
just
leasing.
Some
of
them
are
actually
acquiring
or
there's
some
ownership
transfer
and
it's
hard
to
digest
frankly
in
the
chart
form
so
that'll
be
my
next
question.
I'm
just
giving
you
a
heads
up.
Can
we
do?
We
have
answers
about
the
sources
of
funds.
R
Yes,
in
the
cooperation
agreement,
section
27
lists
the
source
of
funds.
They
are
all
cip
bond
sources
from
budget
year,
2021,
22
and
23.
R
O
So
we
already
borrowed
the
money
and
when
the
city
borrows
or
floats
a
bond
and
people,
you
know,
buy
the
bonds
and
then
we
get
the
cash
we're
committing
to
specific
projects
for
those
specific
bonds
generally,
just
about
90
95
of
the
funds
of
a
bond
issuance
have
to
be
used
for
the
exact
projects
that
you
proposed.
So
these
these
funds
are
tied
to
that
to
this
use,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
Did
I
say
that
correctly
in
your
understanding,
or
do
we
not
have
the
right
person?
R
O
Okay,
you
know
I'm
not
I
I
have
held
this
before
just
because
we
went,
we
had
a
power
failure
last
week,
so
I
don't,
I
don't
mean
to
hold
you
up
anymore.
I
just
think
that
this
is
a
substantial
amount
of
money.
O
It
is
a
substantial
infrastructure
project
that
we
first
started
talking
about
when
I
was
in
my
first
year
on
council,
which
was
2014,
and
that
was
a
much
different
day.
We
were
also
under
the
impression
that
we
were
going
to
be
getting
federal
funds
for
this
project
and,
to
my
knowledge,
those
have
not
materialized
yet,
and
so
what
is
what
I
see
here
is
a
county
port
authority
project.
Yes,
it
will
benefit
city
neighborhoods.
Yes,
we've
had
extensive
conversations
about
it,
but
we
have.
O
O
I
don't
think
I
I
don't
think
I'm
misrepresenting
that
that
project,
so
I
just
really
wanted
to
spend
some
time
to
to
draw
the
public
attention
to
it
and
to
just
put
it
out
there
that,
while
we
all
agreed
and
approved
the
bond
issuance
several
years
ago
to
commit
these
dollars
to
this
project
for
these
years,
maybe
we're
in
a
different
world
right
now
right-
and
so
maybe
we
should
put
this
in
perspective
when
we're
moving
forward
and
if
we're
talking
about
sources
of
funds
for
infrastructure
bond
issuances
for
infrastructure.
O
This
now
looks
to
be
personally
in
a
much
different
context
of
priorities,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that,
and
can
we
just
quickly
again,
we've
been
here
a
long
time,
so
I
did
see.
I
think
another
member
of
the
administration
come
into
the
room
and
I
have
to
awkwardly
turn
around
mr
frankie.
Do
you
have
anything
to
add?
Do
you
want
me
to
bring
you
to
the
table.
F
O
Just
to
talk
into
the
camera,
because
I
know
that
people
at
home
can't
see
so
I'll
just
leave
that
the
way
it
is.
You
know
I'm
expecting
we'll
approve
this
today,
but
if
I
could
just
again
not
to
keep
us
here
much
longer,
but
direct
does
anyone
on
the
zoom
from
the
administration
also
can
speak
to
the
properties
that
are
in
our
legislation
and
for
members
of
the
public
exhibit
a
exhibit
b,
exhibit
I
think,
c
and
d,
it's
hard
to
look
at
that
double
sided
papers,
yeah
c
and
d.
R
Otterman
from
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure-
yes,
the
parcels
that
are
listed
in
the
agreement
are
required
to
to
construct
the
project.
R
There
are
several
private
properties,
but
also
many
ura
owned
properties
and
county-owned
properties,
where
what
we
call
sliver
takes
they're
very
small,
shallow
narrow
pieces
of
land
adjacent
to
the
public
right-of-way
that
are
required
in
order
to
construct
the
brt
station
structures.
Those
are
each
identified
by
parcel
id.
Our
design
team
does
have
those
mapped
and
drawn.
So
if
you
need
to
see
a
map
of
that,
I'm
sure
we
could
provide
it.
R
These
would
be
small
pieces
of
property
that
the
port
authority
would
plan
to
take
and
then
dedicate
to
the
city
as
public
right-of-way,
so
adding
to
the
sidewalk
and
adding
to
the
street
in
order
to
construct
the
brt
stations.
O
Yeah,
so
yes,
I
actually
will
so
again,
while
I'm
comfortable
passing
provisionally
today.
I
would
like
there
to
be
better
attachments
for
our
legislative
record,
so
in
your
exhibit
abcd,
it
says,
for
example,
as
you
as
you
point
out,
it
does
have
the
allegheny
county
block
and
lot
number
those
are
very
difficult.
Then
you
have
to
kind
of.
O
If
you're
at
home,
you
have
to
pull
up
a
different
map
or
even
me
in
my
office
right,
then
I
have
to
go
to
a
different
place,
to
try
to
type
in
the
block
of
blot
numbers
to
locate
it
on
a
map,
it's
burdensome,
and
so,
if
you
already
have
a
map,
I
think
you
should
give
it
to
us
and
I
can
amend
on
tuesday
just
to
add
it
to
the
record
and
then.
Secondly,
the
legislative
language
says
that
voting
yes,
today
and
tuesday
on
this
bill.
O
This
council
is
authorizing
property
transfers,
easements
vacations
dedications
rights
of
way.
I
don't
like
that
kind
of
language.
I
never
liked
that
kind
of
language.
I
call
it
carte
blanche,
language
right,
just
giving
you
this
kind
of
like
take
this
blank
card
like
a
blank
hall
pass
and
just
run
away
with
it.
You
have
the
attachments
which
is
great,
but
it
does
not
identify
in
your
in
your
attachment
in
this
this
matrix,
that
are
the
attachments,
it
doesn't
say
which
ones
are
phoned
by
whom?
O
So
you
know
it
because
you've
just
said
it,
but
your
attachments
for
the
legislation
do
not
reflect
what
you
know
so,
there's
there's
it
doesn't
in
anywhere
say
who
owns
the
parcel
currently
and
and
where
the
ownership
is
maybe
going
from,
and
then
two
so
it's
kind
of
like
shorthand
here.
It
just
says
what
kind
of
trip
of
property
rights
it
says
required:
utility,
easement,
etc.
O
But
I
don't
like
that,
where
I
might
actually
amend
this
by
2c2
to
like
restrict
these
authorizations
to
the
requested
parcels
that
you've
attached
right
and
so
they're
going
to
need
a
little
more
detail
and
I'm
happy
to
work
with
you.
There.
I've
done
this
before
it's
a
pattern
with
me
when
the
administration
sends
over
language
that
it's
really
broad,
I
like
to
constrain
it
to
the
actual
request,
that's
being
made.
So
that's
a
really
that's
all.
O

N
Just
really
want
to
real
briefly.
Let
members
know
that
I
received
a
thank
you
from
the
old
stone
tavern
people
thanking
all
of
you
for
recognizing
them
and
for
their
for
for
paying
attention
and
keeping
up
with
the
old
stone

So
they
really.
I
want
you
to
know
my
district
appreciates
you
and
then
also
for

social
security
offset.
N
We
received
several
emails
phone
conversations,
text
messages
from
employees
across
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
both
union
and
non-union,
who
wanted
to
thank
us
for
making
sure
that
we
did
away
with
the
social
security
officer,
so
I
wanted
to
let
members
know
that
there
is
a
lot
of
appreciation
for
the
work
you
do
so.
Thank
you.
