All

the

I

Thank.
A
You're

not
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye

those

nay,
and
we
will
explain
what
that
means
in
a
minute.
So
what
I'll
do
now
is
we
will
go
right
into
the
public
hearing.
We
will
explain
the
amendment
in
a
minute
and
then
we
will
have
public
hearing
the
public
hearing,
the
public
will
respond
and
then
we're
going
to
come

to
this
group.
A
Okay,

I
need
a

all
those
in
favor
by
saying
that
aye
all

and
welcome
to
pity
Pittsburgh
city
council
cable,
cast
public
hearing
for
Tuesday
August,
1st
2023.
A
It
is
a
hearing
on
the
Opera
bills
which
we
just
amended,
and
so
our
budget
director,
Peter
McDevitt,
is
going
to
come
and
explain
it
to
you.
But
let
me
say
from
the
onset
for
those
of
you
who
were
here
from
the
Arts
people:
we
just
fully
funded
back
the
art
line
item,
that's
where
the
so
that
you
can
still
if
you
want
to
but
I'm
just
telling
you
that
was
the
action
that
happened
very
quickly
before
the
meeting
started
all
right,
and
so,
when
you
talk,
you
can
talk
on
the
benefit
of
it.
A
Of
that
that
line
him,
it's
already
been
fully
restored.
Our
budget
director
will
now
briefly
briefly
go
over
the
arpa
bills.
Before
we
have
the
members
of
the
public
talk.
F
Okay,
so
we
have
bills
in
front
of
us:
2023
1704,
1705,
1706,
1707,
1708,
1709,
1710
and
1711.
F
Bill
1704
amends
the
ARP
of
funding
plan,
so
it
just
splits
up
how
the
funding
is
distributed
to
different
various
projects.
Resolution
1705
updates.
It's
an
amendment
to
an
agreement
with
the
Ura
in
regards
to
the
arpa
funding.
1706.
F
F
1709
is
an
update
to
the
2021
equipment,
leasing,
Authority
cooperation
agreement
to
reflect
an
increase
in
arpa
funding
to
the
fleet.
1710
is
an
update
to
the
2022
Ela
cooperation
agreement
to
reflect
the
increase
in
vehicles
as
it
relates
to
the
arpis
plan
and
1711
is
a
budget
commitment
in
2024
Pago
funds
to
the
as
a
local
match
for
the
raise
Grant
and
we're
using
2024
Pago.
So
next
year's
paygo
funding
in
replacement
of
the
2
million
274
thousand
dollars
that
was
allocated
in
the
arpa
plan,
but
was
removed.
A
H
You've
already
done
that
so
may
I,
yes,
so
so
I
apologize,
I
I
was
out
councilwoman,
as
Strasburg
and
I
had
been
discussing
this
at
length
numerous
times
about
our
desire
to
see
the
Arts
Council
fully
funded.
My
name
I'd
like
to
have
my
name
added
as
a
sponsor
to
the
amendment
of
2023
1704
and
appreciate
councilman
strasberger,
making
sure
it
ended
up
on
paper
on
the
table
for
us
and
Peter.
You
two
thank
you
yeah,
but
no
I'm,
I'm
proud
to
have
my
name
on
it
and
and
be
a
supporter
of
it.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
thank
you
that
takes
us
to
the
public
hearing
part
of
our
agenda
and
I
will
tell
you.
You
have
a
right
to
talk
to
us.
If
you
don't
talk
to
us,
we
will
get
this
done
faster
than
not,
but
just
so
you
know
that
if,
rather
than
a
lot
of
you
speak,
you
may
want
to
pick
a
person
representing
all
of
you,
because
not
all
of
you
want
to
have
the
same
conversation,
but
in
case
you
did,
you
do
not
need
to
do
that
all
right.
A
H
A
I
I
You,
yes,
my
name
is
Nathan
markles
I'm
from
Mount
Oliver
City,
neighborhood
I
would
like
to
invite
everyone
here
to
take
a
moment
to
recall
close
your
eyes.
If
you
like
to
remember
something
beautiful,
you
have
seen
or
experienced
in
Pittsburgh,
perhaps
it's
a
painting
in
a
gallery,
a
sculpture
and
a
garden,
a
mural
on
a
building,
a
dance
in
a
theater,
a
singer
on
an
outdoor
stage
or
a
live
theater
in
a
performance
in
a
park,
perhaps
a
musician
playing
in
a
Plaza.
I
Now,
when
we
think
of
these
things
that
those
things
that
make
life
worth
living
that
enriches
life,
that
makes
us
feel
whole.
It's
these
beautiful
things
that
come
to
mind
when
we
think
of
those
things
that
every
city
has
that
make
it.
What
it
is
that
distinguish
it,
they
make
it
distinctive,
they
give
it
its
flavor.
It
makes
a
city
more
than
a
place
that
you
live,
but
a
place
that
you
love.
It's
these
cultural
and
arts,
moments
and
events
that
come
to
mind.
I
Now
we
need
to
remind
ourselves
of
essential
to
these.
Works
of
beauty.
Are
people
people
that
have
to
put
food
on
the
table
and
a
roof
over
their
heads
in
addition
to
having
time
to
produce
and
rehearse
and
improve
their
craft
now,
the
pandemic
has
hit
these
folks
hard
loss
of
work,
loss
of
jobs
opportunity.
I
The
people
in
arts
organizations
were
some
of
the
hardest
hit
by
code.
Their
incomes
have
not
returns,
audiences
have
not
returned
and
are
not
expected
to.
Poverty
among
local
artists
has
increased
according
to
the
Greater
Pittsburgh
Arts
Council.
Now
for
myself
as
an
audio
describer
for
patrons
who
are
blind
or
visually
impaired,
most
of
my
work
was
in
the
theater.
You
can
imagine
how
that
went
during
the
pandemic.
I
Things
are
coming
back,
but
just
last
week
I
was
told
by
a
client,
a
Pittsburgh
institution
that
why
they
thought
I
did
good
work,
that
the
problem
is,
we
don't
have
the
money
they
said.
So
it
comes
down
to
this.
We
can
see
those
beautiful
images
in
our
Mind's
Eye.
We
can
call
it
beautiful
and
say
Bravo,
but
you
know
those
might
be
kind
words,
but
words
don't
pay
for
rent
for
theater
space
for
spare
guitar
strings.
You
can't
eat
words,
they
don't
ensure
a
future
for
families
without
money.
I
Hardest
hit.
Are
those
who
don't
have
higher
extra
income?
Art
then
becomes
the
province
of
the
well
to
do
of
born
of
buying.
For
the
few
we
need
art
of
Pittsburgh
for
Pittsburgh
and
buy
all
yinzers.
So
Beauty
does
not
just
happen.
It
needs
funding
to
pay
for
it,
at
least
through
the
recovery
I
asked.
What
do
they
contribute
to
our
quality
of
life
and
identity?
Our
souls
beautiful
things
can't
be
taken
for
granted.
We
have
a
choice.
You
have
a
choice.
Are
we
going
to
help
beautiful
things?
I
J
J
The
Pennsylvania
state
constitution
says
the
government
was
created
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
We,
the
People
decisions
and
actions
that
harm
the
people
are
not
acceptable.
There
are
elected
and
appointed
officials
that
have
proven
themselves
to
the
enemies
of
Bonaire
and
that's
not
advisable.
J
The
waste,
Fraud
and
Abuse
of
the
school
tax
resources
is
tremendous
regarding
the
long
quote
poll
broad
by
claiming
that
there
was
Community
Support
of
Youth
fights
by
making
it
a
psychological
handicap
that
we
have
something
hanging
over
us
and
might
be
taken
advantage
of
and
the
the
waste
is,
the
thousands
of
dollars
every
single
month
toward
the
maintenance
and
paying
the
real
estate
to
try
to
sell
that
building
the
school
board
has
proven
itself
as
detrimental.
Will
you
be
part
of
the
solution?
J
There
is
no
benefit
to
leaving
that
that
building
empty
to
having
people
break
into
the
building
and
to
have
a
continued
broken
windows
broken
like
free
painting,
Etc
on
Saturday
April
29th
night
last
year
we
had
a
meeting
for
Bonaire
Green
Space
again,
no
one
from
the
Board
of
Education
showed
up.
Also,
not
a
single
citizen
wanted
anything
other
than
a
green
space
to
replace
the
full
building.
J
Our
voices
are
being
ignored
in
Bonaire
we
are
being
harmed.
This
is
inexcusable.
The
if
tutorial,
Superior
approaches
for
public
schools
is
important
to
the
people,
but
the
government
that
was
created
of
the
people
and
by
the
People
Jessica
Benham
and
Anthony
coghill
both
attended
our
community
meeting
thanks
to
our
elected
state
representative
and
city
council
councilman
for
being
there
now
that
McKinley
Park
is
no
longer
in
our
neighborhood.
We
want
the
school
to
become
a
green
space.
The
building
taken
down
and
a
beautiful,
pollinator
Gardens
to
replace
it
open
deals.
A
Thank
you
very
much
that
takes
us
to
Patrick
Fisher,
followed
by
Patrick
Fisher,
followed
by
Morgan
cross.
K
Our
role
in
the
community
requires
us
to
be
an
advocate
for
the
artists
that
live
and
work
in
our
community,
but
it
also
requires
us
to
be
a
partner
of
others
in
our
community
and,
as
such,
we're
happy
to
partner
with
the
city's
Administration
in
any
way
possible
for
a
win-win
scenario.
That
makes
sure
that
the
funds
dedicated
to
the
Arts
through
arpa
are
utilized
in
a
manner
that
is
Equitable
and
impactful.
So
please
know
that
City
Administration
can
call
on
us
to
assist
in
rolling
out
those
funds.
Thank
you.
L
Hi,
all
my
name
is
Morgan
kasperowitz
I'm,
a
resident
of
Troy
Hill
and
director
of
research
and
special
projects
for
the
Greater
Pittsburgh
Arts
Council
I,
just
really
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
very
quick
work
for
the
amendment
for
restoring
the
Arts
funding
via
the
amendment
to
Bill
1704.
I'm,
going
to
skip
all
of
the
data
that
supported
that
and
just
say
that
in
the
past
few
years
we've
heard
many
Pittsburgh
elected
officials
invoke
the
value
and
the
power
of
the
Arts.
L
We've
heard
public
Declarations
of
the
need
to
engage
the
Arts
in
our
most
pressing
challenges
and
opportunities,
including
Public,
Safety,
Public,
Health,
Workforce,
Development
attraction
and
retention
of
a
Workforce,
the
development
of
21st
century
skills
for
our
school
children,
community
connect,
Community
connections
and
more
for
those
of
us
who
work
in
the
Arts.
We
are
beyond
ready
to
have
those
conversations
with
all
of
you
and
we
in
order
for
us
to
continue
to
be
everything
that
we
have
been
in
terms
of
the
Arts
to
the
art
to
the
community.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
Jane
McNeely,
followed
by
Emily
Brown.
M
N
I
actually
was
going
to
speak
about
the
Arts,
but
I
am
also
interested
in
talking
about
Community
Development,
so
I'll
just
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
Emily
Brown
and
I'm.
The
senior
director
for
international
Economic
Development
Council,
which
is
a
national
nonprofit.
It's
based
in
DC
I'm,
also
a
resident
of
Troy
Hill
in
Pittsburgh,
and
my
life's
work
is
identifying
what
makes
strong
economies
and
Pittsburgh.
You
know.
It's
done
a
great
job.
N
The
ever
expanding
tech
industry
here
attests
to
that
and
I
think
that
it's
really
important
to
continue
to
invest
in
the
Arts
as
Arts
make
the
place
good
to
have
a
good
quality
of
life
and
create
the
kinds
of
experiences
that
Inspire
us
and
bring
us
together
and
I
would
also
like
to
just
note
that
investment
in
public
spaces
also
do
the
same.
The
Kelly,
Rec
Center
in
Troy
Hill,
has
been
slated,
have
a
sick
from
the
reader
Redevelopment.
C
N
It-
and
this
is
a
public
good-
that
increases
our
life
in
our
neighborhood,
the
Cali
rec
center,
and
the
accompanying
splash
park
is
a
major
resource
on
the
weekend.
The
splash
park
is
a
it's
a
really
beautiful
scene
of
children
playing
and
families
Gathering,
unfortunately,
overlooking
this
happy
scene
in
is
the
kind.
C
N
Broken
windows
plants
growing
all
over
it
and
probably
some
animals
living
inside
of
it.
I
would
say
that
this
entire
area
needs
to
be
updated.
We
in
Troy
hell
are
doing
a
lot
to
improve
our
neighborhood
and
look
forward
to
partnering
with
the
council
who
I
know
our
council
member
has
been
very
supportive
of
our
efforts
and
we
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
work
on
the
Cali
Rec
Center
Redevelopment
together.
A
Thank
you
very
much
that
takes
us
to
Jay
Thomas
Agnew,
followed
by
Adam
villain,
J
Thomas

the
chambers

that
the
last
registry
speaker

is
Adam
villain,
Adam.
A
O
Thank
you
I,
as
well
as
a
lot
of
the
previous
speakers
wanted
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
support
for
the
Arts,
fun
and
well.
I.
Had
a
lot
of
data
prepared,
I
just
wanted
to
revert
and
thank
the
thank
the
council
for
the
amendment
that
was
just
passed
for
resolution.
O
1704
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
as
a
as
a
former
artist
and
a
band
member
that
played
in
a
pop
rock
band
for
the
better
half
of
eight
years
that
I
just
wanted
to
reinforce
that
the
the
cost
of
it
of
being
an
artist
I
just
want
to
state
that
it
cannot
be
overlooked
from
you
know,
from
the
gear
to
rehearsal
spaces,
to
recording
from
merchandise,
to
getting
albums
pressed.
O
Going
back
to
the
Pittsburgh
music
ecosystem
study,
that
was
that
was
authored
in
2018.
One
of
the
top
opportunities
from
the
study
was
described
as
Building
Pittsburgh
as
a
more
vibrant
and
vibrant
music
ecosystem.
I
just
want
to
stress
that
we
can't
be
a
vibrant
music
ecosystem
if
we're
not
supporting
the
artists
that
make
up
that
ecosystem.
So
I
really
encourage
the
city
council
to
work
with
Arts
leaders
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
equitable
solution
for
this
funding.
Thank
you.
A
A
If
not?
This
concludes
our
our
public
hearing
I
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
public
meeting,
the
second
all
those
in
favor,
simplified
by
saying
aye,
all
right,
proposers,
nay.
We
are
adjourned.
A
C
H
D
C
A
A
Right
that
brings
us
back
to
our
one
committee,
that
is
open,
finance
and
law.
I
assume
I
have
to
read
the
bills
again,
I'm,
not
sure
what
do
you
think
do?
I
have
to.
F
A
On
the
table,
I'm
not
sure
we
have
to
read
them
again:
I'm,
not
I,
don't
know
that
we
have
to
do.
I
have
to
read
them
again,
can't
hurt
all
right,
so
read
the
bills
again,
so
that
everyone
in
the
public
knows
what
we're
doing.
This
is
really
for
Sunshine
and
transparency.
D
Bill
1704
resolution
and
mending
resolution
726
of
2022,
which
reappropriated
federal
American
Rescue
plan
funding
by
updating
the
approved
projects
as
outlined
in
exhibit
a
version.
5.
Bill
1705
resolution
amending
resolution
for
11
of
2022
Which
authorized
an
amended
agreement
or
agreements
with
the
URL
Ura
for
the
completion
of
projects
approved
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh's
American
Rescue
plan
by
decreasing
the
not
to
exceed
amount
by
one
million
dollars
to
71
million
878
711
and
by
aligning
project
lines.
A
You've
heard
the
reading
and
title
of
the
bills
now
before
I
ask
for
discussion
on
the
bill.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
members
are
reminded
that
we
are
not
in
standing
committees.
We
are
in
final
action.
There
should
be
limited
conversation
with
outside
people
other
than
us.
This
is
not
the
time
to
cut
up
the
bills
as
we
would
on
standing
committee.
This
is
not
the
function
of
this
meeting
and
we
can
do
something
different,
but
that's
not
really.
The
purpose
of
this
meeting
I
just
want
to
remind
you
so
there's
not.
A
We
should
not
have
long
interrogatives
with
outside
people,
because
that's
not
the
purpose
of
this
session,
although
we
can
have
some
conversation,
makes
sense.
So
I'm
not
I'm,
not
saying
that
not
to
have
any
just
be
mindful
that,
even
though
we're
at
this
table,
we
are
not
in
standing
committees.
Okay,
all
right
now,
with
that
you've
heard
the
reading
title
of
the
bill,
is
there
any
discussion
on
the
bill?
I
saw
Mr
Wilson.
First
then,.
G
Oh
Mr
President
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
what
you
said,
because
just
at
the
last
meeting
at
Santa
committee
meeting
I
just
said
to
the
public
that
I
want
to
make
sure
the
public
did
have
you
know
you
know
transparency
in
what's
happening
here,
which
is
like
talk
about
in
public,
so
I
was
actually
going
to
bring
it
back
in
standing
committee,
but
for
the
sake
of
time
last
brevity
last
Wednesday
yeah,
so
you
get
it.
G
So,
if
you
allow
me,
I
would
like
to
to
call
you
know
director
Pollock
to
the
table.
Well,
yeah
yeah
yeah
bring
whoever
you'd
like.
G
To
director
and.
P
P
Sure
Jake
paulek,
director
of
The
Office
management
and
budget
and
deputy
mayor
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
Dr,
Cornell,
Chief,
Financial,
Officer,.
G
Thank
you
both
so
I
just
want
to
you
know,
I'll
need
to
reiterate,
but
just
wanted
to
talk
about.
What's
Happening
Here,
specifically
I
have
a
few
different
things.
I
don't
want
to
belabor
any
of
them,
but
can
we
just
talk
about
the
the
change
to
the
land
bank
moving
3500
from
there
to
the
Ura.
C
P
So,
if
I
I,
if
I,
could
I'll
give
a
general
overview
and
then
Patrick
could
fill
in
some
of
the
details
as
needed,
the
overarching
intent
of
this
amendment
and-
and
this
has
been
consistent
since
the
beginning
of
the
Gainey
administration
at
the
beginning
of
2022,
is
that
we
will
continuously
review
the
allocation
of
American
Rescue
plan
act
or
arpa
funds
every
six
months,
because
those
funds
have
a
firm
expiration
date.
P
If
you
will
at
the
end
of
2024
for
funds
expended,
you
know
on
an
operating
basis
and
where,
on
a
capital
basis,
must
be
fully
obligated
and
under
contract
by
that
point
and
fully
expended
by
2026.
so
understanding
the
time
sensitivity
of
those
funds,
we're
reviewing
them
every
six
months
and
making
adjustments
to
the
plan
in
order
to
ensure
their
full
expenditure
and
thus
the
city's
ability
to
maximize
the
impact
of
those
funds
by
the
the
expiration
point.
P
This
round
of
amendments
seeks
to
achieve
that
objective
in
almost
or
in
in
every
case.
I
would
argue,
though,
in
different
ways.
This
allocations
objective
is
to
examine
which
projects
in
the
version
of
the
allocation
plan
is
passed
by
Council.
Last
December,
as
part
of
the
budget
are
on
track
for
completion
by
the
designated
date,
which
are
still
priorities.
There's
there's
nothing
on
that
list.
P
That
is
not
a
does,
not
remain
a
priority
of
the
City
generally,
but
might
need
to
be
adjusted
in
the
level
of
funding
allocated
to
it
in
order
to
meet
the
expenditure
deadlines
in
the
federal
act
and
as
such,
we're
making
accounting
adjustments.
If
you
will
to
the
ways
in
which
we
deploy
federal
funds
to
meet
those
objectives,
this
reallocation
primarily
has
two
purposes.
P
One
is
to
first
of
all,
the
basic
operating
support
that
arpa
provides
to
the
city's
operating
budget,
isn't
completely
unchanged,
and
we
continue
to
stand
behind
the
understanding
that
the
ways
in
which
arpa
has
helped
the
city
on
an
operating
basis
deal
with
the
negative
economic
and
thus
tax
receipt.
Impacts
of
covid
will
be
unchanged
from
the
original
plan
and
we
expect
to
have
recovered
in
tax
receipts
by
the
end
of
next
year.
P
From
where
we
started
and
and
as
a
result,
the
operating
support
has
done
its
job
in
preventing
us
from
unnecessarily
having
to
reduce
operating
activities.
P
While,
while
dealing
with
the
temporary
Revenue
loss
from
covid
as
it
relates
to
capital
projects,
a
number
of
capital
projects
were
funded
as
a
part
of
the
arpa
plan
of
those
projects.
Some
are
already
complete
and,
in
fact,
are
complete
and
had
excess
funds
allocated
to
them
that
weren't
expended
to
get
them
done.
We're
always
proud
when
we
allocate
funding
to
a
capital
project
it's
completed
and
there
are
funds
left
over,
so
we're
reallocating
those
residual
funds,
as
we
would
normally
through
the
capital
budget
process.
P
Some
are
on
track
and
we
are
preserving
funding
for
those
and
some
are
behind
schedule,
which
is
again
not
an
uncommon
thing
when
we're
dealing
with
complicated
investments
in
City
facilities
that
can
take
longer
than
anticipated.
In
those
instances
in
this
reallocation
of
arpa
funds,
we
are
reducing
the
funding
made
available
to
those
projects,
not
because
we
do
not
remain
committed
to
the
achievement
of
those
projects,
but
because
we
understand,
as
of
the
last
month,
that
they're
not
in
a
position
to
fully
expend
those
funds
by
the
arpa
deadline.
P
And
we
intend
to
offer
to
counsel
in
the
annual
budget
process
a
a
capital
budget
that
fully
funds
those
projects
or
an
explanation
as
to
why
we're
changing
the
nature
of
those
projects.
P
That's
where
I
was
going
I
was
trying
to
digital
overview.
President
next
is
the
transverse
to
outside
agencies,
which
is
again
it's
a
I.
Don't
I
would
not
characterize
the
changes,
we're
proposing
there
as
fundamental
changes
in
intent,
but
rather
a
more
updated
as
the
it's
a
genuine
or
continuously
shifting
landscape.
P
A
more
precise
method
in
accounting,
for
what
we're
seeking
to
achieve
so
Council
was
gracious
in
the
2023
budget
in
awarding
to
the
Law
Department
the
authority
to
establish
an
associate
city
solicitor
for
real
estate
and
in
migrating
some
of
the
three
taxing
body
staff
that
the
city
already
had
to
report
to
that
associate
solicitor
when
they
had
previously
reported
to
the
Law
Department
in
the
past
six,
actually,
seven
months
that
work
has
been
underway.
P
We
we,
the
city,
have
had
a
more
sophisticated
and
dedicated
staff
partnership
to
work
with
the
finance
department,
the
Ura
and
the
land
bank
staff
on
figuring
out
how
to
best
expend
the
funds
dedicated
to
the
land
bank,
and
the
determination
was
that
in
the
18
months
we
have
remaining
under
arpa
authorization.
We
can
expend
about
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
through
the
land
bank,
specific
powers
to
clear
title
and
that
of
the
remaining
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
that
were
allocated
to
the
land
bank.
P
The
same
objectives
could
be
achieved
by
providing
the
other
three
and
a
half
million
previously
awarded
to
the
land
bank
to
prepare
the
next
wave
of
properties
for
stabilization.
So
so
the
fundamental
principle
of
stabilizing
properties,
clearing
their
title
and
positioning
them
for
reuse,
Remains,
the
Same,
but
the
method
in
which
we
would
expend
those
funds
is
slightly
adjusted
to
suggest
that
some
of
that
would
go
to
title
clearance
and
some
of
it
would
go
to
placing
new
roofs
or
securing
the
buildings.
G
P
P
Think
we
can
get
them
all
the
way
through
the
title,
clearing
and
disposition
process,
but
between
now
and
the
end
of
next
year.
We
think
that
we
can
do
that
with
the
most
ripe
properties
in
their
portfolio
between
now
and
the
end
of
next
year
and
believe
me
now
in
the
end
of
next
year,
we
can
secure
these
so
that
in
the
18
months,
following
that,
you
know
the
first
of
2025
in
the
first
half
of
2026,
they
can
feed
into
the
future
post-arpa
Land
Bank
queue.
G
P
P
Yes,
if
we
own
them,
we
can
stabilize
them.
We
just
can't
sell
them
without
clearing
the
title.
First,
okay
and
we
we
plan
to
separately
in
the
2024
proposed
budget,
address
the
stabilization
of
city-owned
properties
in
a
similar
way.
G
Okay
and
then
the
other
item
I
want
to
talk
about,
was
Cali
Rec
Center,
so
that
was
is
reduced
again
here
and
I
just
wanted
to
understand
where
the
project
is
so,
there
will
be
750
000,
remaining
and
I
should
say.
I
appreciate
your
commitment
to
the
project
and
your
commitment
to
talking
to
the
community
and
the
transparency
that
you
know
you've
given
to
the
community
so
that
they
can
understand.
G
But
not
everyone
goes
those
meetings
and
sure
I
still
get
phone
calls
and
and
emails
about
what's
happening
with
Kelly
Rick.
So
just
so,
everyone
can
understand
with
the
money
that
well,
why
is
the
money
being
reduced?
The.
P
Remaining
even
further,
let
me
answer
it
the
opposite
direction,
but
arrive
at
the
same
point.
The
funds
that
remain
dedicated
to
that
project
are
sufficient
to
complete
the
current
feasibility
assessment
there
and
to
proceed
into
design,
which
is
everything
we
can
achieve
in
the
next
18
months
before
the
arpa
funds
are
no
longer
on
the
table,
so
the
funding
remaining
is
efficient
to
continue
to
ensure
that
the
process
of
determining
the
future
Redevelopment
and
reopening
of
that
location
remains
on
track.
P
Additional
funds
had
previously
been
authorized,
we're
not
in
a
position
based
on
the
current
status
of
the
project,
to
expend
them
before
the
deadline,
and
so
we
are
moving
the
funds
that
we
have
allocated
to
the
project,
but
have
not
yet
expended
into
supporting
other
capital
projects
that
can
be
completed
in
the
next
18
months.
We
remain
committed
to
the
Redevelopment
of
Cowley.
We
will
have
to
close
that
construction
Gap
in
future
Capital
budgets
with
either
pay
go
Bond
or
other
funds.
P
Once
we
have
designs
that
Express
to
us,
the
total
cost
of
that
work,
but
nothing
no
time
will
be
lost.
No
delays
will
be
encountered
with
this
change.
We've
left
enough
there
to
complete
what
can
be
completed
by
the
end
of
2024
and
we
are
committed
to
filling
the
rest
once
we
know
the
full
amount
and.
G
P
Now
already
underway
nearing
completion,
and
we
know
enough
from
the
early
findings
of
that
to
know
how
much
we
need
for
the
first
phases
of
design,
which
are
also
included
in
what's
left
remaining
in
that
line
in
order
to
ensure
that
when
the
feasibility
is
the
feasibility
studies
concluded
at
some
point
this
year
that
enough
funds
remain
to
proceed
to
design
next
year
and
end
2024
with
a
viable
product
that
can
then
be
funded
in
future
budgets.
Okay,.
G
P
Well,
Jefferson
Rec
Center
presents
a
lot
of
physical
challenges.
I
would
agree
with
you
that
it
serves
a
great
number
of
General
North
Side
residents
from
both
your
and
councilman
lavelle's
District,
this
the
site
itself
and
the
building
itself
present
Real
challenges
to
an
effective
deployment
of
those
funds.
P
We
don't
believe
that
we
have
a
clear
understanding
of
the
best
way
to
address
that,
be
that
in
future,
funding
for
reinvestment
in
that
location
or
in
investment
in
other
locations
that
are
similarly
close,
Cowley
being
one
Fowler
being
one
like
there
are
other
locations
nearby,
where
the
preponderance
of
the
folks,
who
actually
use
Jefferson,
might
be
as
closely
or
more
closely
connected
to
where
we
could
meet
the
same
service
needs
Northview,
Heights,
of
course,
being
also
another.
So
we
I
don't
think
we.
P
We
know
that
the
challenges
at
that
site
are
significant
and
are
not
going
to
be
resolved
in
the
next
18
months.
We
want
to
serve
all
of
those
residents
in
the
best
way
possible,
whether
that's
at
that
location
or
in
investments
in
nearby
locations
that
can
meet
their
need.
We're
gonna
have
to
figure
out
in
the
time
remaining,
but
we
would
not
be
responsible
in
saying
we
could
spend
that
money
and
redeveloping
that
site
at
this
time.
G
Right
and
to
two
that
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
increases
on
are
the
the
review,
the
Davis
Avenue
Bridge
to
review
Park
and
then
also
the
melon
Square
storefront
support
for
the
downtown
storefronts
that
are
on
Smithfield
there.
Could
you
elaborate
on
what
the
melon
Square
storefront
support
will
entail.
P
Very,
very
briefly,
on
Davis
the
increase
is
there
correspond
to
quotes
for
construction
costs
that
exceeded
the
previous
budgeted
amount
which
is
not
unanticipated
in
in
this
market.
So
the
increase
is
there
ensure
that
we're
able
to
deliver
the
project
we
were
already
committed
to,
but
it's
more
expensive
than
when
we
last
got
budgetary
estimates
and
that's
the
reason
for
that
change
as
it
relates
to
melon
Square
storefronts
I
appreciate
you
raising
that,
as
you
all
may
know,
but
the
general
public
might
not
it's
a
complicated
site.
P
Melon
Square
itself
sits
at
the
top
of
it.
That's
a
a
city
parklet
that
is
under
contract
for
the
management
under
contract,
to
be
managed
by
the
Pittsburgh
Parks
conservancy
and
to
do
a
great
job
there.
The
parking
structure
itself,
which
goes
several
layers
underground,
is
owned
by
the
city,
but
under
the
management
of
the
parking
authority
again
that
they
are
working
diligently
to
maximize
its
impact.
P
The
storefronts
along
Smithfield
Street,
that
are
part
of
the
site,
but
a
layer
down
from
the
square
itself,
have
suffered
during
covid
and
its
aftermath
from
a
lack
of
occupancy
and
have,
as
a
result,
become
an
occasional,
an
occasional
point
of
intersection
between
our
unhoused
residents
and
the
public
generally,
when
when
they
are
vacant,
we
have
taken
steps
through
ochs
police
and
in
partnership
with
DHS,
to
address
the
needs
of
the
Anaheim
residents
who
congregate
there,
but
so
long
as
the
storefronts
remain
unoccupied.
P
That's
a
continued
potential
point
of
interest
for
all
of
the
agencies
involved.
It's
difficult
for
those
storefronts
to
be
occupied
in
their
present
condition
because
they
are
constructed
in
a
manner
that
makes
it
difficult
to
have
Plumbing
there
HVAC
their
kitchens
there.
If
you
were
to
want
to
operate
a
food-based
business.
P
So
we
have
allocated
funds
in
partnership
with
the
Ura
and
with
the
support
of
the
PDP
and
other
downtown
stakeholders
to
make
physical
improvements
to
those
spaces
in
the
way
that
they're
plumbed
the
way,
they're,
ventilated
and
else
wise
to
make
them
more
marketable
so
that
we
can
attract
commercial
tenants.
There
reactivate
that
block
of
Smithfield
Street
and
provide
Community
serving
opportunities
to
downtown.
P
G
Some
different
different
type
of
meeting
years,
but
thank
you
thank.
H
A
E
Thank
you
well,
first
before
he
leaves
I
want
to
reiterate
that
this
is
a
joint
that
the
Arts
funding
amendment
was
a
joint
effort
between
councilman
Krause
and
myself.
I
want
to
say
that.
E
Trying
to
decide
where
to
start
the
the
Arts
making
sure
that
the
the
Arts
funding
remained
in
place
was,
you
know
we
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
advocacy
community
and
the
Arts
community
that
this
was
a
priority
and
I
know
all
council
members
heard
that-
and
you
know
we're
supportive
of
this.
This
amendment
today,
I
want
to
thank
the
administration,
Deputy,
Mayor
and
and
chief
Cornell
for
for
your
cooperation
on
this
and
for
director
McDevitt
as
well
for
his
huge
help
making
this
happen
today
very
quickly.
E
You
know
I
I
know
this
wasn't
easy,
because,
whenever
we're
discussing
something
with
the
budget,
we're
taking
from
something
else
but
I
think
artists
have
demonstrated
throughout
the
pandemic
that
they
are
deserving
of
support
and
I
know
that
in
kind
of
ensuring
that
this,
this
funding
remains
in
place
for
artists,
it
creates
more
work
potentially
for
members
of
the
administration,
so
I
I
wanted
to
reiterate
here
what
I
said
privately,
which
is
I,
would
be
more
than
happy
to
volunteer
to
work
with
the
council,
the
Arts
Council
to
and
others
to
put
together
an
equitable
plan
to
ensure
that
we
are
following
the
rules
that
are
set
up
by
the
federal
government
under
arpa
and
distributing
money.
E
You
know
in
the
form
of
payment
for
services
to
artists
to
help
support
them
over
the
next
year.
In
again,
in
a
way,
that's
Equitable,
envisioning,
hiring
artists
of
all
sorts
to
attend.
City
events.
All
over
the
place
I
mean
the
vision
could
be
ensuring
that
we're
casting
a
wide
net
through
a
partnership.
Ships
with
groups
like
the
Pittsburgh,
Arts,
Council
and,
and
you
know,
exposing
even
more
members
of
the
public
to
even
more
artists
and
helping
them
to
to
earn
some
money
in
the
same
time.
E
I
also
want
to
note
that,
as
I
mentioned
before,
this
does
then
take
about
443
443
000
from
what
was
called
the
Public
Works
Data
infrastructure
upgrades,
bundled
together
kind
of
technology
upgrades
for
various
rec,
centers,
potentially
senior
centers,
or
maybe
just
rec
centers,
both
both
reckon
and
healthy,
active
living
centers,
and
that
is
also
something
I
support.
E
So
I
will
stand
along
any
alongside
any
council
member
as
they
advocate
for
full
funding
for
that
in
their
in
their
own
districts,
in
the
2024
budget
process
and
also
then,
a
reduction
in
the
Pittsburgh
Technology
Center
Garage
by
about
206
000
for
an
over
three
million
dollar
project.
So
a
slightly
smaller
proportion
there.
But
you
know
I
I
also
support
I
want
to
just
register
here.
I
support,
rec
centers
I
support
a
healthy,
active
living
centers.
E
Those
are
integral,
especially
the
youth
and
children's
centers,
for
making
a
vibrant
City,
making
sure
that
we
have.
We
are
addressing
everything
from
out
of
school
time
to
youth
violence,
so
anything
I
can
do
to
support
that
in
the
upcoming
budget.
I
will
but
I'm
really
pleased
that
we
were
able
to
get
done.
What
we
got
done
today
and
thank
everyone
for
for
their
support.
Thank.
Q
You
Mr
chair,
thank
you,
councilwoman,
strasberger
I
think
it's
also
a
good
cause
that
Amendment
towards
the
Arts
Council
is
a
good
thing.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
thank
you
and
the
administration
for
working
with
my
office
to
reallocate
and
allocate
new
monies
toward
our
vehicle
Fleet,
but
I
also
wanted
to
bring
up
that.
You
know
in
order
to
right
size,
our
Fleet.
Q
P
With
this
proposed
adjustment
to
the
arpa
plan,
A,
with
this
proposed
amendment
to
the
arbor
plan,
we
will
be
able
to
fully
satisfy
an
order
of
60
new
police
cruisers,
which
is
roughly
twice
what
we
annually
order
and
which
I
would
agree,
is
necessary
to
catch
up
on
covid
era,
related
disinvestment
of
the
fleet
that
led
it
to
us
to
overextend
the
life
of
some
Vehicles.
P
This
allocation
would
also,
in
addition
to
fully
satisfying
that
60
police
cruiser
order
placed
us
in
a
position
to
order
a
new
fire,
pumper
or
aerial
truck
pumper
at
this
point
is
our
best
understanding
of
the
need,
but
given
the
state
of
the
fire
Fleet
and
the
the
vehicle's
under
maintenance,
we
might
change
that
from
one
to
the
other.
In
either
case
we
will
be,
we
will
meet
a
double
if
you
will
infusion
of
new
vehicles
to
the
police
Fleet
and
meet
the
most
urgent
need
of
fire.
P
If
that
is
a
pumper
which
we
expect
it
to
be
today,
or
might
it
be
an
aerial
before
the
end
of
August?
When
we
complete
that
process
in
either
case,
we
will
order
the
vehicle
most
critical
to
fire
in
in
both
instances,
we
have
work
remaining
to
do
to
meet
their
needs,
in
particular
in
fire.
That's
not
a
new
problem
for
the
city
and
it
is
a
problem,
that's
exacerbated
by
the
fact
that
the
lead
times
on
new
orders
have
grown
exponentially
since
arpa.
K
P
Available
and
many
cities
like
us
have
spent
a
portion
of
that
funding
ordering
new
fire
apparatus.
So
we
will
we're
committed
to
solving
that
problem
over
the
long
term,
but
but
this
new
funding
with
this
reallocation
in
coordination
with
your
continued
drum,
beat
on
this
issue.
Councilman
will
solve
the
most
urgent
needs
right.
Q
P
Q
P
What
Lodge
one
well.
Q
P
But
but
the
the
the
local
union,
representing
our
firefighters
to
the
iaff
and
the
PVP
command
work
very
closely
on
the
specs
of
all
new
apparatus.
Q
P
We
we
adjusted
the
order
to
meet
the
jointly
agreed
to
specifications
of
both
the
union
and
the
bureau.
We
are
still
awaiting
delivery
of
that
apparatus
because,
as
I
said,
the
timeline
between
order
and
delivery
grew
dramatically
during
covet
and
during
the
arpa
era.
So
we
don't
I.
Q
P
Q
P
Can
again
I
I,
just
woke
for
the
sake
of
clarity,
say
as
of
today,
we
believe
and
I
believe
it
will
remain
the
case
that
a
new
pumper
is
the
most
urgent
need,
but
we
have
about
a
month
or
so
to
figure
that
out
and
if
it
turns
out
that
at
the
appropriate
time
a
new
ladder
truck
is
in
fact
a
more
urgent
need.
We'll
order
that
and
either
case
We'll
order.
It
consistent
with
the
specs.
Q
Okay,
now
it's
good
work
on
it.
You
know
I'm
glad
that
we
work
together
on
that
and
I
think
we
got
what
we
need
for
the
time
being,
at
least
in
order
to
save
off
crisis,
really
great.
Thank
you.
The
the
get
into
the
Ura
properties
that
the
URI
owns.
How
did
they
acquire
them
and
how
many
are
there
do
we
know.
P
Q
P
It
no,
we
have
no
Resources
with
it
with
which
to
do
that.
This
funding
would
allow
us
to
do
that
and
allow
us
to
then
what
would
allow
the
Ura
if
they
are
granted
These
funds
to
send
someone
there
to
do
that
evaluation
and
then
allow
them
to
be
authorized
to
expend
funds
to
stabilize
it
to
prevent
its
further
degradation
as
it
weights
in
queue
to
be
disposed
of.
Q
So
my
question
is
this
I
guess
so,
if
there's
a
said
property
that
we're
looking
at,
what's
the
first
step
as
to
stabilization,
we
have
to
send
somebody
there
to
inspect
it.
No
okay,
who
would
that
be?
Is
it
somebody
we
have
on
call?
Is
it
have
we
used.
P
Q
P
That
case,
they
would
have
three
3.5
million
dollars
to
expend
on
that
type
of
stabilization.
In
tandem,
the
land
bank
would
have
3.5
million
dollars
to
take
the
ones
that
are
in
good
enough
condition
now
to
not
either
because
they
have
a
structure,
that's
in
decent
condition
or
a
clear
parcel.
That's
ready
for
repositioning
to
move
that
lowest
hanging
fruit
if
you
will,
through
the
title
clearance
process
into
the
disposition
process.
P
P
Q
Yeah
tell
me
if
you
understand
this:
the
way
I
do
I've
talked
to
some
non-profits.
So
if
we
decide
to
put
forty
thousand
dollars
into
a
property
to
stabilize
it
right,
then
we
turn
it
to
the
land
bank.
The
land
bank
goes
to
one
of
the
non-profits
out
there
through
this
kind
of
work,
then,
once
they
secure
their
funding,
we
are
then
reimbursed
for
our
forty
thousand
dollar
investment,
but
the
way
you
understand
it,
no.
P
No
I
mean
potentially
in
some
circumstances,
but
not
a
hundred
percent
of
the
time
are
as
a
uniform
condition.
No
it's
possible,
depending
on
the
sales
agreement
from
the
Ura
to
the
non-profit,
that
it
would
that
it
is
that
that
a
partial
or
full
reimbursement
of
our
costs
could
be
recovered.
But
that's
contingent
upon
the
particular
agreement,
which
itself
is
contingent
upon
expert
guidance
on
whether
that
could
reasonably
be
recovered
and
what
the
costs
to
the
non-profit
are.
P
I
would
not
anticipate
in
most
cases
that
we
would
be
reimbursed
anything
because
I
would
anticipate
that
our
costs,
plus
the
non-profits
costs,
would
exceed
the
sales
price
and
that
the
sales
price
would
reimburse
the
nonprofit
for
their
holding
and
we
would
be
have
been
making
the
entire
rest
of
the
investment
at
risk.
Understanding
that
that
investment
of
public
funds
in
repositioning
and
stabilizing
a
property
has
a
net
benefit
to
the
public
around
the
property
and
a
long-term
tax
benefit
to
the
city.
P
So
I,
wouldn't
I
would
never
expect,
as
a
rule
of
thumb
that
we
will
recover
any
of
our
expenditure
on
these
properties.
It
may
on
occasion
occur,
and
we
would
gladly
accept
it
where
the
market
conditions
weren't.
But
that's
that's
not
the
rule
of
thumb
that
I
have
in
mind
and
not
something
that
I
think
we
can
reasonably
expect
across
the
board.
Q
P
I'm
not
suggesting
that
that
can't
occur
in
an
ideal
circumstance
and
in
a
circumstance
that
permits
it.
We
would
seek
that
and
would
would
accept
it
I,
don't
anticipate
that
that's
the
across-the-board
norm,
I
anticipate
that
the
value
we
receive
for
our
investment
is
the
value
that
the
adjacent
residents
receive
from
a
stabilized
real
estate
market
and
the
value
we
receive
down
the
line
from
property
taxes.
Q
P
Not
getting
our
money
back,
we
need
to
be
Discerning
and
not
reinvesting
in
the
stabilization
of
a
property
that
would
be
demolished
otherwise,
because.
Q
K
P
I
I
do
anticipate
that
we
might
embark
separate-
and
apart
from
this
arpa
funding
on
similar
work
as
the
city
ourselves
for
our
own
portfolio,
so
either
the
Ura
or
the
city
would
be
reliant
on
the
professional
guidance
of
an
appropriately
credentialed
individual.
To
give
us
a
read
on
knock
this
one
down
stabilize
this
one
and
you
might
get
value
out
of
it.
We
have
to
be
Discerning
on
that.
We
have
a
lot
of
properties
in
that.
Q
And
we
could
talk
about
this
later.
That's
fine
I
I
know
of
two
nonprofits
City
bridges
Habitat
for
Humanity.
Is
there
a
host
of
others
that
I
don't
know
about?
Or
this
is
this
who
we
intend
to
work
with?
Well.
P
City
City
bridges
certainly
has
a
wide
city-wide
footprint
and,
in
fact,
the
footprint
also
in
inner
ring
Suburban
communities
through
which
they
engage
in
this
type
of
activity,
and
one
of
the
benefits
to
the
city
overall
is
that
when
they
rehabilitate
properties
for
this
purpose,
they
place
them
in
their
land,
trust
and
that
becomes
a
an
affordable,
modified
home
ownership
opportunity
to
the
folks
they
serve
so
they're
an
important
partner.
Let.
Q
P
Meaning
the
ground
is
their
property
and
the
structure
is
the
property
of
the
buyer,
and
because
of
that
divided
ownership,
they
can
structure
the
manner
of
resale
to
ensure
that
the
owner
of
the
structure
accrues
some
Equity,
but
on
the
basis
of
a
defined
calculation.
It's
often
a
starter
home
right
for
someone
who
is
moving
from
a
condition
of
General
economic
distress
into
Financial
stability.
Q
The
reason
why
I'm
asking
you
I
feel
like
the
land
bank,
we're
all
have
high
hopes
for
it.
We
all
know
that
we're
funding
it
with
Federal
money
that
we're
not
going
to
have
in
two
or
three
years,
I'm,
trying
to
think
of
ways
how
they
could
self-sustain
themselves.
I
mean
these
properties
are
assets.
P
This
isn't
this
isn't
all
and
I
apologize.
I
was
winding
up
to
a
longer
answer
before
before
you
respond
with
the
question.
This
is
not
all
of
the
above
strategy.
There
is
a
important
place
in
this
overall
construction
for
the
work
that
city
of
bridges
does,
which
I've
just
described,
there's
an
important
place
for
what
Habitat
for
Humanity
does,
which
seeks
similar
Ends
by
different
means.
P
There's
an
important
place
for
the
ura's
own
PGH
program,
which
is
kind
of
a
land
bank
light
that
again
seeks
similar
objectives
but
has
less
long-term
onerous
requirements
and
there's
a
place
for
genuine
unrestricted,
not
Land,
Trust
enabled
property
to
Affordable
buyers.
We
can
do
all
of
these
things
under
one
umbrella
position,
people
in
a
variety
of
states
of
need
and
and
still
serve
the
need,
but
we
can
also
ensure
Financial
sustainability
for
the
work.
Okay,.
Q
P
There's
a
variety
of
ways
to
achieve
right,
councilman
and,
and
this
funding
will
present
us
with
opportunities
to
fine-tune
those
such
that
by
the
time.
Arpa
funding
expires,
we're
positioned
to
achieve
that
in
the
meantime,
I
think
we
need,
if
you
will
starting
Capital
to
to
initiate
a
number
of
strategies
and
hone
in
on
those
that
can
be
long-term,
sustainable.

I
was
told
this
is
guaranteed,
but
maybe
he
was
wrong.
I
don't
know,
okay,
that's
that's
fine
and
we'll
straighten
out
as
I
go
as
we
go
along
everybody's
breaking
your
rule,

You
know
so.

Like
you
know,
more
than
a
thousand
vacant
land
right,
but
like
buildings
that
aren't
occupied
that
need
to
be
stabilized
right,
maybe
some
of
them,
you
know,
barely
need
to
be
stabilized,
but
there's
only
56.

That's
correct
and
the
the
initial,
the
majority
of
that
the
16
million
is
actually
grant
funding
will
be
receiving
so.
C
P

The
16
million
essentially
pays
for
the
replacement
of
the
core
rectangular
unit
that
actually
connects
them
to
everyone
else,
which
is
a
long-term
asset
that
we
own
the
antenna
and
the
wire
leading
to
the
speaker
break
much
more
often
than
the
actual
radio
itself.
So
we
have
to
purchase
those
on
a
more
frequent
basis
and
some
of
those
consumable.
K
P
Competition
in
this
space
is
minimal
and,
and
I
would
agree
that
public
sector
agencies
bear
the
brunt
of
that,
but
we
have
a
on
not
non-negotiable
obligation
to
Public
Safety.
That
occasionally
requires
us
to
bear
that
cost.

The
bill
haven't
received
a
legally
right.
Number
of
votes
is
passed
finally,
and
now
I
need
to
I
need
to
make
an
announcement
again.
Council
recess
will
begin
tomorrow
of
August
2nd.
It
will
end
Thursday,
August
24th
and
the
first
regular
regular
council
meeting
will,
after
recess
will
be
Friday.
August
25th
at
10,
A.M
I
need
a
motion
to
excuse
the
absent
member,
approve
the
minutes
and
adjourn
the
meeting.
