Description
The 2/8/23 Pittsburgh City Council Standing Committees was preceded by interviews for the PWSA Board, the Civic Design Committee, and the Public Art Committee.
A
B
So
good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
pre-agenda
interviews
for
Wednesday
February
8
2023,
we
have
one
appointment
to
the
Pittsburgh,
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
board
three
appointments
to
the
Civic
design
committee
and
four
appointments
to
the
public
art
committee.
If
members
are
okay,
I'll
take
them
each
separately,
so
we'll
begin
with
pwsa
and
if
Mr
James
Robert
Martin.
The
second
would
please
come
forward.
Join
us
at
the
table.
C
Right,
thank
you
so
much
good
morning,
it's
a
James
Martin
I'm
Vice
Chancellor
for
stem
research
and
Innovation
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
I,
previously
served
about
four
and
a
half
years
as
the
dean
of
engineering.
When
I
first
came
here
at
a
the
University
to
continue
my
academic
leadership
career
and
live
right,
downtown
in
District
Six,
and
look
forward
to
contributing
to
this
city.
B
F
E
My
you
know,
I'll
just
start
by
saying
as
you're
well
aware,
pwsa
has
gone
through
quite
a
transition
in
the
last
five
years
or
so
and
continues
to
go
through
a
transition
with
everything
from
its
priorities.
It's
growing
its
budget
having
the
funds
to
be
able
to
invest
in
sorely
disinvested
infrastructure
over
the
last
50
years
and
and
its
own
management
structure.
G
E
Knowing
what
you
know
about
either
current
board
makeup,
or
even
without
that,
I
just
would
love
to
hear
in
your
own
words.
What
you
really
think
you
put
in
particular
can
add
to
that
group
of
people
and
what
you
from
either
passport
experience
or
from
your
vast
professional
experience,
what
you
tend
to
to
bring
to
positions
like
this,
where,
yes,
there's
a
fiduciary
responsibility.
Yes,
there's
it's
a
very
important
role
and
you're
also
in
an
advisory
role
in
some
to
some
degree.
C
C
I
have
worked
with
civil
infrastructure
projects
all
over
this
country
and
and
literally
all
over
the
world,
and
especially
in
critical
facilities,
and
especially
critical
facilities
in
extreme
events,
disaster
events
and
so
both
as
a
as
a
researcher
as
an
educator
and
as
a
professional
consultant,
have
a
wealth
of
experience
to
help
with
things
like
reliability.
We
talked
about
the
fact
that
most
of
our
systems
are
are
aging.
They
were
built
100
years
ago.
C
You
know
at
the
end
of
the
Industrial
Revolution
and
in
the
middle
of
the
Industrial
Revolution
and
they're
aging,
and
we
have
under
invested
in
those
systems,
and
we
take
them
for
granted.
So
I
think
the
perspective
of
understanding
from
a
technical
standpoint,
the
types
of
redundancies
that
we
need,
the
types
of
vulnerabilities
that
we
have,
the
criticality
of
eliminating
single
points
of
failure
I
can
bring
that
to
the
board.
I've.
C
One
of
the
challenges
is
having
the
engineering
expertise
where
we
have
professional
Consultants,
that
you
know
it's
a
little
more
lucrative
at
times,
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
initiatives
that
I've
already
thought
about
is
how
I
can
be
a
partner
with
the
city.
How
the
university
can
be
a
partner
with
the
city.
I
can
be
a
catalyst
to
help
attract
Engineers
here
who
are
pursuing
their
phds,
typically,
a
master's
students
in
their
mid-30s.
They
typically
stay
here
three
to
four
years:
the
salaries
they
you
know.
The
idea
is
that
they
can
come.
C
It's
a
win-win
because
we
as
a
university
get
to
track
Talent
here
that
we
didn't
have,
but
for
the
city
it's
a
way
to
have
a
really
highly
trained
and
competent
Workforce
at
you
know,
in
a
way
that
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
recruit
and
retain
as
as
effectively
without
working
together.
It's
not
something
I've
thought
about
that.
We
can
add
to
the
board.
That's
something
I'm
passionate
about.
E
That's
interesting
and
I
think
it
really
syncs
up
with
the
authorities
intention
and
actual
practice.
You
know
practice
over
the
last
few
years
to
really
diversify
and
and
create
opportunities
for
burgeoning
businesses
to
be
able
to
do
business
with
the
pwsa
to
be
able
to
do
business
with
the
city,
whether
it's
engineering,
consulting
firms
or
you
know,
construction
firms
that
focus
on
Paving
or
you
know
any
type
of
con.
E
Any
kind
of
contractor
that
might
apply
for
a
competitive
bidding
process
to
do
work
with
this
The
Authority
in
with
the
city,
when
there's
a
need
to
really
ramp
up
work
all
across
the
city
and
multiple
authorities
are
going,
you
know
for
the
same
pool
of
of
qualified
contractors,
it's
just
not
going
to
work
and
it's
not
going
to
help
create
opportunities
for
the
smaller,
smaller
firms
out
there.
So
it
really
does
seem
like
your.
E
C
E
C
H
C
To
function
better
on
all
levels,
that
would
be
quite
a
bit
of
wisdom,
but
no
I
think
it's
important
to
to
look
at
a
part
of
my
specialization
is
in
risk
and
it's
you
know:
I
speak
a
language
of
optimization,
that's
essentially
what
I
do
I
optimize,
really
complicated
situations
and
complex
situations?
You
know
as
an
engineer
to
then
categorize
and
do
joint
probabilities
of
what
things
are
critically
important
and
then
use
that
to
communicate
to
various
stakeholders
and
bring
them
together
and
I.
C
Think
part
of
what
I
bring
is
a
background
to
be
able
to
take
a
complex
issue
and
communicate
it
in
a
way
where
people
can
understand
the
overlaps
and
people
can
understand
how
we're
all.
After
the
same
thing,
we
occupy
the
same
real
estate.
At
the
end
we
want
to
have
the
city
function.
We
want
to
have
a
functional
system.
C
If
you
can
break
it
down
and
identify
the
the
critical
weak
points
and
most
of
the
times
you
find
that
increased
light,
reliability
in
one
system
is
there's
some
benefit
to
other
systems.
We
all
have
to
excavate.
We
you
know
leakage
in
the
sewer
contaminates
the
water
supply.
You
got
to
dig
a
trench
that
provides
opportunity
for
everyone
to
weigh
in
and
increase
reliability
of
those
various
systems
and
I.
C
I
H
Think
I
mean
our
water
bills
are
much
higher
than
my
friend's
water
bills
in
Los,
Angeles
County,
which
is
surprising
right,
but
at
any
rate,
so
the
new
storm
water
fees,
twofold.
When
your
thoughts
about
larger
businesses
like
the
UPMC,
the
sort
of
large
property
owners
and
and
then
also
what?
What
are
your
thoughts
on
how
we
should
be
using
those
fees
like
how
best
to
use
that
money.
H
C
I
I,
without
knowing
more
detail
than
I,
do
I
think
really
to
increased
reliability
and
the
predictability
of
the
system
and
to
increase
the
redundancy
of
the
system.
It
really
is
about
investment
and
investment
in
a
way.
That's
going
to
return
lots
of
resources
in
the
future,
so
I
think
eliminating
those
single
points
of
failure
and
increasing
the
reliability
of
the
system
is
the
best
investment
for
that
and
I
feel
that
that
is
an
opportunity
that
hasn't
been
leveraged
as
fully
and
communicate
that
and
communicate
the
importance
of
it.
C
It's
not
spending
its
investment,
you
know
because
we
all
benefit
from
it,
but
we
have
to
do
a
better
job
of
communicating
that
and
we
can
also
learn
from
other
cities
that
have
gone
through
some
of
this
transition.
I
think
that's
important
to
do
in
our
communication.
So
a
lot
of
what
you
hear
me
saying
is
about
really
communicating
and
bringing
entities
together
to
understand
the
common
good
in
a
better
way.
B
You
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
willingness
to
serve.
This
is
a
very
critical
Authority
that
you're
going
to
be
coming
on
to
so
I.
Don't
have
any
questions
I'm,
just
thanking
you
for
your
willingness.
Thank
you
with
that.
We'll
dismiss
you
at
this
point.
Thank
you
for
being
here
with
us
this
morning,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
Civic
design
committee.
Okay,
thank
you
and
I'm
going
to
ask
Miss
Arium
Ford
Miss,
Lisa,
Carver
and
Megan
Zeigler.
So
please
come
forward.
B
B
J
My
background
is
in
City
Planning
I
have
Master's
in
City
Planning
from
Boston
University
and
a
Bachelor's
of
history
from
the
University
of
Virginia
and
I'm
incredibly
excited
about
the
role
that
I
can
play
in
helping
to
hopefully
renegotiate
our
public
contract
social
contract
around
public
space
who's
allowed
there
what's
allowed
there
what
standards
are
and
who
are
allowed
to
help
Stan
set
those
standards.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
here.
K
My
name
is
Megan
Ziegler
I'm
with
Green
Building
Alliance
I'm
excited
to
be
here.
My
background
is
actually
in
landscape
architecture
and
I
have
served
since
living
in
Pittsburgh.
I
worked
at
grounded
for
four
years,
worked
at
PWC
for
over
four
years,
and
now
I've
been
at
GBA
for
almost
four
years.
So
I
feel,
like
I,
have
a
good
understanding
about
what
it's
like
to
work
on
both
the
community
side
in
the
city
side
and
also
in
the
non-profit
side.
L
We
are
based
here
in
Pittsburgh,
just
down
the
street,
actually
on
the
boulevard
of
the
Allies.
My
background
is
in
architecture
I'm,
a
principal
architect
and
have
been
practicing
for
almost
20
years
through
that
practice,
I've
been
involved
in
multi-family
housing,
Hospitality
University
and
many
historic
preservation
projects,
like
my
colleagues
here,
I've
been
a
participant
of
the
previous
art
commission
and
am
excited
to
be
involved
in
seeing
that
Evolution
with
the
current
Administration.
Thank
you.
H
H
That
may
be
right,
all
the
things
that
we
need
to
build
in
a
city
the
functionality
and
making,
but
but
and
but
also
including
the
design
elements,
artistic
elements
whatever
that
make
them
sort
of
pleasurable
to
to
experience
right
and
as
in
addition
to
being
functional,
but
making
those
two
things
work
together,
so
that
one
is
not
impeding
the
other
right
so
that
so
that
yeah!
So
do
you
understand
what
I
mean?
Okay,
yeah.
H
A
L
L
Of
course,
Architects
are
artists
in
their
own
right,
but
buildings
need
to
be
functional
and
they
need
to
be
usable
by
the
people
that
are
within
them,
so
I
think,
depending
on
the
strengths
of
the
group,
we
will
find
that
balance
to
make
sure
that
that
the
properties
that
are
within
the
right-of-way
that
are
owned
by
the
city
Advance
the
the
public
realm
in
a
way
that
benefits
the
overall
Community
as
well.
So.
J
I
think
that
I
would
lean
towards
trying
to
have
the
conversations
and
deliberations
reflect
the
humanity
that
we
all
experience.
So,
for
example,
I
love
metaphors.
So
we
all
live
in
a
house
right
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that,
or
many
of
us
live
in
a
house
conversation
for
a
different
time,
that
it
works,
that
there's
a
roof.
But
that
doesn't
mean
that
you
don't
necessarily
decorate
it
for
your
daughter's
birthday
or
that
you
don't
put
up
lights
around
the
holidays.
J
So
there's
this
balance
between
making
sure
that
there
is
Form
and
Function,
but
also
that
the
space
is
in
places
where
we
our
lives
happen,
and
that
create
the
backdrop
to
our
memories
is
how
I
like
to
see
it
reflect
the
culture
that
we
see
in
ourselves
and
so
I.
Think
that
just
like,
you
would
do
it
for
your
own
lives
like
when
we
come
together
to
make
decisions
about
public
space
space
that
we
all
have
to
live
in
together.
H
And
I
also
just
as
I'm
curious
about
so
with
a
lot
of
new
development
that
we
see
right.
There's
so
sort
of
this,
like
Cookie
Cutter
element
right
where
all
of
our
cities
are
starting
to
look
the
same
and
I'm
not
from
I
didn't
grow
up
in
Pittsburgh
so
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
concern
about
preserving
the
feel
of
Pittsburgh,
so
I
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
any
comments
about
that
about
how
your
how
your
role
could
help
to
to
preserve
that
field,
but
also
bring
us
into
the
Modern
Age.
K
K
To
see
a
case
made
for
why
they
can't
preserve
it
and
really
kind
of
push
that
a
little
bit
more
because
I
think
if
you
do
start
kind
of
tearing
that
fabric
out
of
our
city,
we
are
really
losing
something
that
will
never
get
back
so
I
think
preservation
is
a
huge
part
of
what
we
should
be
striving
for.
As
part
of
this
commission
and
review
process.
H
When
it
comes
to
Art
and
Design
around
the
city,
just
your
thoughts
on
a
how
we
give
our
own
local
artists
and
designers
right
the
the
platform
and
the
space
to
do
what
they
do
and
then
also
how
we
we
continue
to
build
up
those
skills
here
in
in
Pittsburgh,
whether
that's
bringing
new
people
or
or
working
with
our
young
people.
Just
any
thoughts.
It
doesn't
yeah
about
how
you
were
how
this
commission
could
do
that.
L
Yeah
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
a
tricky
piece,
because
we
we
do
want
our
local
populations,
creativity
to
come
through
and
so
I
don't,
and
so
somehow
we
want
to
enhance
that
and
not
necessarily
wash
it
right.
So
we
have
to
be
deliberate
in
in
the
feed
that
feedback
that
we
provide,
but
I'm
not
sure
where
I'm
going
with
that,
but
somehow
also
keep
a
pulse
on
potentially
what
others
are
doing
in
other
communities
to
make
sure
that
we
are.
We
are
elevating
properly
within
this.
J
No
I
think
I
would
say
to
I
on
the
same
lines,
really
supporting
and
uplifting
Pittsburgh's
artists
and
the
host
of
collectives
that
are
here
supporting
their
ideas
and
efforts,
giving
them
literal
space
to
just
kind
of
be
and
and
to
engage
the
public
and,
in
the
same
sense
supporting
their
role
as
almost
ambassadors
to
other
communities
to
maybe
go
and
bring
back
those
those
Concepts
and
ideas,
as
a
trusted.
Kind
of
Beacon
of
of
information
and
aesthetic
for
Pittsburgh
I.
J
H
E
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
your
willingness
to
serve
I'm,
really
glad
to
see
all
three
of
you
here
today
and
on
that
last
point.
I'll
just
say:
I
met
with
this
Greater
Pittsburgh
Arts
Council.
Yesterday,
to
that
you
know
on
that
point
and
I
I
haven't
even
gotten
the
chance
to
talk
with
our
city
planning
planners
and
our
planning
staff
and
Leadership,
but
about
this,
but
the
idea
of
having
you
know
housing
for
artists.
That
also
includes
you
know
workspace.
E
That
also
include
you
know
workspace
or
Studio
space.
It
also
includes
a
rehearsal
space
right.
That
seems
like
something
that
we
should
just
continue
to
be
talking
about
and
prioritizing
as
we
talk
about
other
important
priorities
like
housing
and
affordability
of
housing.
So
on
that
sort
of
tangent
and
kind
of
back
into
my
original
thoughts
and
questions,
we
were
talking
a
little
bit
about
balance
and
I
appreciated
your
answers
to
that,
and
you
know
this
idea
of
needing
a
balance
between
moving
our
city
forward
in
some
direction.
E
So
like
those
types
of
tensions
or
the
the
tension
of
like
needing
to
get
the
the
new
development
built,
because
it
will
provide
so
many
benefits,
but
they're
not
seeming
to
be
the
the
impetus,
the
push
or
the
or
the
support
necessary
to
include
not
just
add-on,
but
to
include
all
of
the
other
things
that
are
necessary.
I
mean
if
every
new
kind
of
project
is
its
own
project
by
itself.
Right.
E
It's
and
it's
not
thinking
holistically,
to
include
items
like
sustainability,
and
you
know:
Net,
Zero,
Energy
and
art,
public
art
or
art.
You
know
Incorporated
in
that
in
the
design,
or
you
know,
Community
benefits.
So
in
with
those
types
of
examples
in
mind,
is
there
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
add
to
your
original
answer
around,
like
balance
just
kind
of
what
you're
thinking
in
terms
of
those
or
or
where
you
think
this
sort
of
subset
of
the
commission
could
be
influential
in
that
way.
K
M
K
I
think
just
constantly
pushing
them
to
allow
their
designers
to
think
creatively
about
how
you
do
weave
in
climate
change
and
how
you
do
even
the
cultural
legacies
or
writing
those
wrongs,
as
they
need
to
be
in
the
city
and
I
think
just
constantly
just
advocating
and
trying
to
get
the
projects
to
think
a
little
bit
more
creatively
on
how
they
can
weave
multiple
issues
into
a
design
and
kind
of.
Have
that
be
a
telling.
A
better
story.
J
J
How
can
communities
actually
be
a
part
of
investing
in
their
communities
with
their
own
dollars
and
then
that
stud
getting
essentially
the
same,
say
and
right
as
other
investors
in
design
process,
the
designers
get
a
check
who's
it
coming
from
that's
who
they're
answering
to
and
so
why?
How
can
we
diversify?
J
Oh,
the
developer
against
the
community
I
think
we
have
opportunity
to
move
forward
and
encourage
the
strategy
across
people
bringing
projects
to
try
to
diversify
your
funding
base,
and
then
you
will,
from
the
bottom
up
all
your
decisions
will
kind
of
Follow
that
goal
of
and
authentically
represent
communities
because
they
will
literally
be
bought
in
so
I.
Think
that
could
be
really
interesting
tactic
again.
E
B
You
mentioned
sort
of
creating
spaces
that
are
designed
for
all
of
us
to
feel
comfortable
in
you
mentioned
sort
of
diversifying
your
investor
base,
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
I'm
not
sure
how
the
Civic
design
committee
is
going
to
touch
upon
various
developments
within
our
city.
But
just
so
you're
aware,
there's
a
fairly
large
development,
a
Stones,
throw
away
from
us
in
the
lower
Hill
and
much
of
the
conversation
or
at
least
much
of
the
conversations
that
I've
been.
B
Having
is
how
to
ensure
that
that
space
is
intentionally
designed
and
built
out
to
both
recognize
what
was
once
there
as
well
as
looking
to
the
future,
but
even
more
importantly,
ensuring
that
little
brown,
boys
and
girls
feel
equally
as
comfortable
on
that
site
at
all
hours
of
day,
as
Penguins
fans
as
corporate
tenants
will
be,
and
a
lot
of
that
occurs
through
Civic
design
and
public
art
for
those
who
come
forward
with
the
public
art
committee.
And
so
again
it's
not
a
question.
B
But
it's
a
conversation
that
I
hope
you
all
are
willing
to
dive
into
to
ensure
that
we
are
indeed
making
a
very
unique
place
that
is
comfortable
for
everyone
to
be
in
recognizing
sort
of
the
cultural
Legacy,
repairing
the
wrongs
as
well
as
moving
us
into
the
future.
So
you
can
have
a
comment
if
you
want,
if
not
that's,
okay,
but
I.
B
K
I
do
know
that
there
was
a
conversation
last
week
specifically
about
the
lower
Hill
and
trying
to
incorporate
more
green
space,
but
having
the
conversation
on,
should
it
be
in
the
public
realm
versus
private
realm,
and
just
being
aware
that
the
safety
issues
and
making
sure
the
welcomedness
is
going
to
be
at
the
Forefront
of
of
the
residence
is
really
critical.
So,
yes,
I
I
am
aware
and
I'm
excited
to
lean
in.
On
those
conversations.
Thank.
B
J
I
also
really
appreciate
you
pointing,
and
to
that
example,
and
my
personal
take
on
it
will
be
more
of
a
examining
of
the
the
no
culture
of
our
public
spaces,
so
no
sitting,
no
skating,
no
smoking,
no
drinking,
no
loitering
and
leaning
more
into
a
yes
culture
and
making
it
just
as
explicit
as
what.
If
we
had
yes
signs.
J
That
said,
yes,
laughter,
yes,
running
is
playing
yes
being
here
and
really
trying
to
on
a
very
basic
level,
actually
explain
that
this
is
your
space
you
are
allowed
here
and
through
the
simplest
things
such
as
that
I
think,
can
make
a
huge
difference
and
so
just
kind
of
bringing
that
yes
mindset
into
those
conversations
and
calling
out
the
no
mindset
and
how
really
that
is
a
message
of
an
elitist
white
supremacist
culture
in
public
design.
It
will
move
us
a
long
way
forward.
So
I'm
really
excited
for
that.
B
So
since
well
so
I
like
that
idea,
two
weeks
ago,
the
preliminary
Land
Development
was
before
the
Planning
Commission
when
it
got
amended,
and
it
will
eventually
come
to
this
table
where
I
may
take
some
deeper
dives
into
it,
because
and
even
meeting
with
the
developer.
Part
of
the
conversation
was
ensuring
that,
as
we
designed
this
sort
of
public
open
space
that
is
privately
owned.
B
B
Therefore,
you
need
to
leave
so
those
are
issues
that
are
very
real
currently
on
the
table
and
before
us,
and
so
again
as
we
move
forward,
I,
look
forward
to
hearing
more
and
getting
your
Insight
and
how
to
ensure
these
sort
of
things
more
yeses
occur
than
those.
So
thank
you
all
with
that.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
public
art
committee
and
I'm,
going
to
ask
Celeste
Smith
to
please
come
forward.
B
B
B
N
Good
morning
my
name
is
Celeste.
Smith
I
am
a
wife,
a
mother,
a
student,
a
child
I
currently
work
at
the
Pittsburgh
Foundation
as
a
senior
program
officer
for
arts
and
culture
and
I
am
also
co-founder
of
onehood
media,
which
works
at
the
intersection
of
Arts
activism
in
terms
of
building
liberated
communities.
F
Okay
and
I,
currently
serve
on
the
board
of
the
Pittsburgh
Glass
Center
and
I
am
also
president
of
women
of
Visions
Incorporated
women
of
Visions
as
an
African-American
women's
Arts
organization,
and
is
the
longest
running
Visual
Arts
Organization
for
women
of
color
in
the
entire
country.
So
it's
right
here
in
Pittsburgh,
so
I
also
have
served
on
the
board
of
eldi
and
also
friendship
development
when
it
was
around
so
I
do
have
a
pretty
good
working
knowledge
of
community
art
and
you
know
how
they
need
to
work
together
in
the
process.
O
Hi
I'm
Tom
Mosser
I
have
a
studio
in
Aetna,
Pennsylvania
I've
been
a
full-time
artist
for
since
the
mid
90s.
The
only
job
I
ever
had
was.
The
I
was
the
pirate
parrot
mascot
for
the
Pittsburgh
Pirates
for
eight
years
back
in
the
90s,
so
I,
because
I
can
dance
so
my
whole.
During
that
time,
I
had
a
studio
on
the
south
side
of
Pittsburgh
and
Stroh's
building.
O
So
the
only
every
dollar
that
I've
made
essentially
is
made
on
creativity.
So
my
creativity
or
whatever
I
2005
I,
created
the
two
Andes
mural
Sarah
Zephyr
out.
If
it's
a
couple
blocks
away,
depicts
Andy,
Warhol
and
Andrew
Carnegie
getting
a
makeover,
it
led
to
me
getting
commissioned
to
do
200
foot
by
30
foot
mural
at
presidential
center
arena
in
Newark,
New
Jersey,
it's
the
largest
interior
mural
in
the
world,
and
thanks
to
a
lot
of
Dunkin
Donuts
coffee.
O
A
few
years
ago,
I
gave
a
commencement
speech
at
my
High
School
Huntington
area,
high
school
five
years
before
that
I
had
given
the
commencement
speech
there
too,
but
it
was
a
new
Administration
and
a
new
school
body,
so
they
got
I
got
a
second
chance
and
I
was
having
a
coffee
with
a
friend
of
mine
and
he
said
Tom.
How
are
you
going
to
to
inspire
the
minds
of
these
young
kids?
What
would
be
the
one
word
that
would
encapsulate
your
speech
and
I
said?
I
have
no
idea
and
I
thought.
O
That's
it
idea.
That
is
the
most
important
word
in
any
language
everything
we
do
me
going
like.
This
is
an
idea,
the
Big
Ideas
joining
city
council,
the
little
ideas,
what
outfits
we
are
going
to
wear.
We
all
need
to
give
ourselves
permission
to
cultivate
our
ideas
and
make
them
happen
and
mixing
other
people's
ideas
in
a
big
pot
or
on
your
palette.
Great
things
can
happen,
so
I
think
Warhol
said
art
is
all
around
us.
I
say
ideas
are
all
around
us
and
I
think
that
would
bring
that
attitude
to
this
committee.
E
Thank
you
well,
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
and
I
should
have
said
this
together,
as
I.
Don't
take
lightly
the
time
commitment
that
that
you're
willing
to
put
in
to
serve
in
this
capacity
and
in
in
a
way
that
is
so
crucial
for
the
future
of
our
city
and
I.
Think
about
the
new
policies
that
city
council
has
approved.
That
will
allow
for
percent
for
art,
to
extend
to
communities
that
might
not
be
experiencing
the
same
type
of
investment,
public
or
private
and
development
boom
that
others
have.
E
It
makes
sense
after
thinking
about
it,
for
a
half
a
second
that,
of
course,
you
know,
art
will
follow
development
in
that,
in
that
particular
in
that
particular
instance.
And
so
how
do
you
think
about
not
just
that
particular
policy,
but
the
ways
in
which
the
city,
this
commission
can
continue
to
to
put
Equity
at
the
Forefront
of
public
art,
even
in
you
know,
in
in
private
spaces,
but
but
specifically
public
art
reaching
you
know
all
neighborhoods,
all
residents
of
the
city
in
a
way
that
is
accessible
for
everyone.
E
You
know,
and
just
the
way
that
there's
the
priority
of
a
Green
Space
a
park
within
a
10-minute
walk
from
ever
for
everyone
in
the
city,
every
resident
in
the
city,
extending
that
to
public
art
as
well
thoughts
about
ways
that
you
and
this
commission
can
achieve
that
or
that
the
city
can
achieve
that
more
broadly.
Well,.
O
I
think
anytime,
you
go
into
a
neighborhood
and
you
see
a
huge
mural
wherever
neighbor.
You
know
it
inspires
a
dialogue,
and
you
know
that
people
live
there
and
there's
it.
Just
has
great
impact
and
it's
worth
a
place
worth
visiting
and
you'll
see
a
coffee
shop
pop
up
and
then
it
becomes
a
place
to
gather
and
it
can
be
inspired
by
a
by
a
work
of
art
and
everything
in
this
room
was
a
piece
of
art.
It
was
somebody
designed
this
microphone.
This
table
our
office.
O
These
chairs,
everything
around
us
was,
is
Art
based
and
creativity
based,
and
we
all
need
to
be
able
to
bring
that
mindset
to
Bringing
art
to
every
neighborhood,
whether
it
might
be
downtown
or
in
in
Homewood
or
somewhere,
and
it
resonated
when
you
said
you
were
talking
about
providing
residences
for
artists.
I
live
with
a
spinning,
Plate
artist,
Loft
and
Shadyside
I've
been
there
for
seven
years,
I'm
getting
married,
so
I'm
moving
out
this
month,
but
it
was
life-changing
for
me
it
was
really
affordable
and
during
that
period
of
time,
great
things
happen.
F
Well,
for
me,
when
you
talk
about
Equity
equity
for
me,
begins
with
process
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
get
the
community
involved
right
at
the
beginning
and
I
would
always
want
to
know
what
the
community
said
you
know
and
what
input
they
had
into
the
art,
because,
when
you're,
creating
art
for
Community,
if
you
don't,
you
know,
have
their
ideas
in
mind
or
sort
of
brush
them
off
and
I
have
seen
that
happen
in
Community
start
out
with
the
best
of
intentions.
M
And
I
think
one
of
the
things
that's
really
beautiful
about
Pittsburgh
is
that
each
of
the
neighborhoods
has
such
a
unique
character
as
well,
and
so
I
think
one
of
the
pieces
that
I'm
really
interested
and
curious
about
is
how
does
the
artists,
who
are
working
in
communities,
understand
the
local
context
in
history
and
I?
Think
related
to
your
question
about
Equity.
It
does
come
down
to
the
community
engagement
aspect.
M
You
know
it's
like
how
much
is
the
community
engaged
in
those
conversations
about
the
formation
of
the
artwork
from
the
very
beginning,
I'm,
currently
also
working
on
a
commission
on
a
commission
for
the
homewoods
homewoods
new
park,
that's
being
designed,
and
it's
been
really
exciting,
because
even
before
we've
even
I
mean
starting
months
ago,
we've
been
in
community
meetings
meeting
discussing
with
different
Community
leaders
going
to
events,
and
so
for
me
as
an
artist
who's
gone
through
that
process.
That's
something
that
I'm
really
intentional
about
and
also
thinking
about
when
I'm
you
know.
M
N
In
harmony
with
my
colleagues,
I
would
offer
that
there's
already
been
art
there,
this,
what
you
know
this
commission
or
what
the
city
intends
to
do
does
not
start.
The
art
has
always
been
there,
and
so
you
know,
leaning
into
the
fact
that
you
know
the
public
art
is
already
it's
just
how
What
lands
are
we
applying?
So
that's
when
you
bring
the
racial
Justice
in
right,
communities
always
bring
art
to
their
communities.
I
love
the
idea
of
there
being
a
portion
of
funds
to
work
to
support
artists.
N
N
When
you
talk
about
the
time
commitment
of
this
committee
and
I,
you
know
I,
don't
even
know
the
complete
time
commitment,
but
I
do
know
that
I
have
a
job
that
is
outside
of
the
artwork
that
I
do,
and
so
you
think
about
how
much
work
artists
do,
how
much
artists
put
in
and
then
what
are
we
doing.
You
know
to
really
adequately
pay
people
for
what
they're
doing,
not
only
you
know
to
benefit
themselves,
but
our
entire
community.
O
There
was
one
I
paint
with
both
hands
at
the
same
time
and
I
had
I
didn't
want
any
flat
color
on
this
mural,
so
I
had
to
teach
my
team
to
paint
with
both
hands
and
it
was
all
going
to
be
brush
strokes
and
then
we
had,
we
would
I
devised
the
plan.
We
would
go
shoulder
to
shoulder.
Then
we'd
switch
sides,
so
our
work
was
coming
together
as
one
it
was.
O
It
was
a
real
lesson
in
collaboration
and
it's
a
real
metaphor
for
what
you're
doing
you
know,
you're
working
on
a
project,
you're
collaborating
switch
sides,
look
at
it
from
a
different
point
of
view
that
person's
breaststrokes
might
be
a
little
different
than
yours,
but
you
kind
of
blend
in
and
combine
and
something
great
happens
because
of
collaboration.
So
collaboration
is
a
big
part
of
public
art
as
well,
and
keeping
it
simple
to
get
that
message
out.
O
The
two
Andes
mural
is
a
simple
image:
two
men
at
a
hair
salon
underneath
hair
dryers,
Andrew
Carnegie,
is
getting
a
manicure
pedicure,
manicure
and
Andy
Warhol
is
reading
a
magazine,
but
they're
they're
stuck
talking
to
each
other.
What
would
these
two
men
talk
about?
Andy,
Warhol
and
Andrew
Carnegie,
the
two
Andes,
and
we
all
and
again
it's
about
collaboration
and
coming
up
with
Creative
Solutions,
there's,
always
a
solution
to
everything.
H
To
meet
you
all
in
person,
I,
think
of
Facebook
friends
with
most
of
you,
but
we've
never
met.
So
at
any
rate,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
for
your
willingness
to
serve.
I
do
have
just
two
questions:
the
the
first
one
well,
the
first
one's
sort
of
more
of
a
practical
question
when
it
comes
to
public
art
in
community
spaces,
how
what?
How?
How
do
you
see
the
or
how
do
you
think
the
art
commission?
Could
you
know
in
in
your
role?
H
F
To
your
point,
resources
are
always
an
issue
like
you
said:
the
cost
and
the
money
and
I
found
out
that
I'm
really
good
at
resourcing,
so
I
think.
Maybe
the
commission
could
take
some
time
to
find
out
who's
willing
to
partner,
donate
Pittsburgh
Paints,
whoever
and
try
to
get
some
more,
maybe
in
kind
things
available
for
people
and
maybe
have
that
as
a
list
that's
available
to
the
communities
as
they
go
to
do
public
projects.
A
O
Maybe
for
that
much
money
at
all
so
and
then
kind
of
build
upon
that
I'm
very
good
at
like
creating
art
with
his
little
money
spent
as
possible.
You'd
be
surprised
what
you
can
come
up
with
and
then
and
then
you
can
start
getting
the
PPG
Paints
of
the
world
to
start
donate
to.
But
people
have
a
lot
of
house
paint
in
their
garages,
let's,
let's
turn
them
in
put
them
to
use.
N
I
think,
as
we
begin
to
work
together,
we
have
to
test
our
assumptions
of
what
we
think
to
what
the
community
might
need.
I
think
there
has
to
be
some
dialogue,
you
know
to
understand
really
what
the
needs
are,
what
the
desires
are-
and
you
know,
dream
alongside
our
community
and
to
bring
in
those
things
into
fruition.
N
You
know,
and
I
really
want
us
to
look
at
what
community
is
right,
because
we
we're
all
living
all
together,
we're
all
seeing
each
other
at
the
supermarket,
whatever
right
and
so
yeah.
We
can
absolutely
hit
the
people
up
to
get
paint
brushes
and
paint
in
their
garage,
but
we
can
also
work
in
community
with
people
who
have
access.
N
You
know
to
equipment,
people
who
have
access
to
the
tools
and
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
produce
the
art,
and
so
you
know,
as
we
test
our
assumption,
we
build
new
relationships
and
we
really
listen
actively
in
terms
of
what
artists
want
art,
what
artists
need
and
then
we
can
provide
it.
But
if
we
get,
we
won't
ever
hit
the
mark
I
think
we
always
have
to
ask
first.
H
H
For
example,
the
Tree
of
Life,
which
you
know
is
a
terrible
tragedy,
but
then
so
little
around
all
the
other
types
of
gun,
violence
that
are
happening
in
the
city
is
there
a
way
that
how
do
you
see
the
commission
functioning
to
kind
of
make
sure
that,
when
we're,
when
we're
addressing
a
topic
right
when
we're
creating
a
piece
of
art
that
sort
of
addresses
an
issue
that
affects
the
city
as
a
whole,
that
we
do
it
in
a
way
that
really
represents
the
issue?
City-Wide?
Does
that
make
sense.
O
O
Remember
I
was
at
the
stoplight
I,
just
it
just
kind
of
had
impacted
the
the
design
of
the
building
just
kind
of
struck
me,
and
you
know
what
happened
that
day
when
I
came,
I
came
back
the
same
afternoon
after
the
show
and
I
drove
through
Square
Hall
and
the
world
had
changed.
It
was
just
so
so
impactful
somehow
I,
don't
know
with
the
issue
of
gun.
Violence
is
pretty
powerful
and
we've
all
noticed
it,
especially
this
year.
O
I
just
have
this
thought
of
having
people
turn
in
their
guns
and
we
paint
the
guns,
and
we
make
this
huge,
beautiful,
sculpture
out
what,
with
from
guns
from
this,
like
sort
of
very
negative
aspect
of
guns
and
transition,
it
into
something
beautiful
but
again,
with
art,
public
art
dealing
with
that
issue.
Having
a
a
pop-up
show
where
people
would
turn
in
art
related
to
the
gun
issue,
just
to
bring
awareness
and
attention
to
it,
art
can
be
powerful
and
you
get
groups
of
people
creating
art
to
bring
it
more
of
a
spotlight
onto
something.
M
That
for
our
role,
I
I
think
we
have
a
really
great
opportunity
to
like
take
a
look
at
the
proposals
that
come
through
the
come
through
the
commission
and
make
sure
that
they
really
adequately
address
the
question
of
the
equity
of
representation
and
also
making
sure
that
they
showcase
the
really
the
breadth
of
any
issue
and
I.
Think
that
for
me
personally,
that's
something
that
I've
been
really
deeply
invested
in
in
terms
of
the
commissions
that
I've
done
across
the
city
really
thinking
about
the
local
context.
M
But,
as
you
said,
you
know
it's,
you
know,
I
think
we
have
a
responsibility
as
Commissioners
to
be
thinking
about.
You
know
how
is
this
touching
on
issues
that
touch
the
entire
city
and
making
sure
that
the
artwork
that's
there
is
responsive
as
well,
and
so
that's
something
that
you
know
I've
worked
on
as
an
artist
and
would
be
deeply
committed
to
as
well.
F
I
also
feel
like
this
is
probably
an
area.
We're
looking
outside
the
city
for
inspiration
would
be
helpful.
It
would
be
interesting
to
see
how
some
other
cities
may
have
done
it.
Of
course,
Pittsburgh
always
has
this
wonderful
and
unique
way
of
doing
things,
but
I
think
that
that
would
be
informative
and
helpful
to
us.
M
N
Know
co-signing
the
piece
of
talking
to
community
and
seeing
what
people
want,
but
also
wondering
the
opportunity
to
speak
across
commissions,
because
you
know
like
we
watched
in
DC,
painting
black
lives
matter
down
the
middle
of
the
street.
Didn't
change
nothing
right,
and
so
you
know
this
is
a
piece
of
it.
It's
a
piece
representation,
absolutely
important,
but
not
that
this
piece
of
a
public
art
piece
would
be
the
end-all
be
all.
N
H
I.
Think
that
you
know
a
lot
of
the
time
there's.
You
know
you
have
public
art
and
it's
sort
of
there,
but
it's
kind
of
it's
sort
of
just
becomes
part
of
the
woodwork
like
quite
you
know
one
one
piece
that
jumps
to
mind:
if
you've
seen
the
Holocaust
Memorial
at
Community,
Day
School,
it's
I
mean
it's
really,
so
they
took
bottom,
the
tabs
from
Coke
can
and
over
at
what
like
10
years,
I'm,
not
sure
they
call
it.
The
students
at
the
school
collected
these
tabs
and
then
they're
in
whatever
it's.
H
It's
really
great.
You
should
go
by,
but
just
the
idea
that
these
kids
collected
over
10
years
collected
these
tabs
and
then
they
put
them
in
the
artwork
and
so
that
those
10
years
of
kids
every
time
they
go
by
that
piece.
It's
you
know,
not
only
is
it
a
memorial
of
the
holiday,
it's
also
just
a
a
memory
for
them
like
they
were
part
of
that
I
think
that's
something
that
I
would
love
to
see
more
of
in.
M
Yeah,
no
absolutely
I
think
that's
something
I'm
very
excited
about
actually,
when
I
began,
working
as
an
artist,
I
actually
lived
in
Taiwan
for
a
year
and
I
worked
with
Taiwanese
Aboriginal
students,
teaching
them
photography
and
then
leading
them
through
exercises
in
which
they
actually
used.
Cameras
to
then
tell
the
story
of
their
Community
local
myths,
history
and
culture,
and
that
was
then
exhibited
as
a
Exhibition
at
the
national
Taiwan,
Museum
and
so
I've
thought
about
kind
of
that
Community
engagement
aspect,
which
is
very
exciting
and
also
thinking
about.
M
As
you
said,
there's
a
lot
of
new
developments.
You
know
I
saw
I
studied
Engineering
in
college
and
so
I'm
very
up
to
date
with
a
lot
of
the
new
developments
in
terms
of
interactivity,
computer
vision,
artificial
intelligence,
that
kind
of
and
censor,
usually
depth
sensors
that
can
allow
you
to
create
artwork
in
public
spaces.
That
can
also
be
responsive
and
interactive
to
people
moving
through
the
space
and
interacting
with
the
work
as
well,
and
that's
something
that
I've
actually
started
kind
of
doing
some
research
on
and
work
with
as
well.
F
Yeah
to
my
colleague's
point,
there's
so
many
different
kinds
of
art
forms
now
and
I
think
that
we
can
be
a
lot
more
creative
than
we
have
in
the
past
and
just
thinking
about
cement
and
Metal
and
I.
Think
you
have
an
opportunity
here
to
you
know:
do
something
very
unique
for
communities
that
you
know
can
last
change
and
even
morph
over
time
that
you
couldn't
do
before.
With
the
you
know,
usual
traditional
art.
N
As
a
way
to
to
build
a
living
Archive
of
what
is
happening
in
the
communities,
I,
don't
think
we
do
as
good
of
a
job
of
documenting
equitably
all
of
the
stories
that
Pittsburgh
has
to
offer,
and
so
you
know
in
building
something
where
the
children
are
building
on
it.
The
elders
are
building
on
it.
It
gives
us
well
here's
the
story
of
what
is
happening
in
in
real
time,
but
also
in
the
past,
and
so
I
think
it's
something
that
we
absolutely
could
entertain.
O
It
I
mean
you
could
come
up
with
an
idea
where
your
idea,
bringing
in
an
object
or
having
people,
do
a
self-portrait
and
once
a
year
you
get
together.
People
bring
in
this
object
or
a
self-portrait,
and
you
keep
adding
to
this
public
art
installation,
but
you
have
an
annual
event
to
keep
re-energizing,
and
so
it's
a
big
mural
and
that's
it,
but
each
year
it
gets
changes
and
evolves,
and
you
have
this
annual
event
to
keep
bringing
attention
to
whatever
issue
you're
talking
about.
O
P
O
P
P
And
the
other
ones
before
I
look
and
see,
because
when
we
talk
about
diversity,
I
I
always
remind
people.
There's
Geographic
diversity
as
well,
and
the
west
southwest
Pittsburgh
is
not
represented
on
a
lot
of
the
boards
and
authorities
as
they
should
be.
When
we're
putting
people
on,
we
should
make
sure
that
we
have
people
from
all
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
represented
so
I.
It's
something
I've,
probably
hounded
every
mayor
since
I've
been
here.
A
P
East
end,
so
just
so
you
know
okay,
but
my
concern
is
that
there
needs
to
be
also
a
voice
from
our
current
currently
from
Southwest,
River
and
actually
I.
Think
there
should
be
one
from
north,
south,
east,
west
and
Central
the
city
for
all
the
boards
and
authorities
just
period
and
and
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
us,
nothing
about
you
and
it's
nothing
about
this,
not
isolated
to
one
Administration.
It's
been
since
I've
been
here.
P
This
is
the
way
it's
been,
but
now
that
I
actually
put
the
appointments
forward
in
my
under
my
committee,
I'm,
going
to
be
more
mindful
of
some
of
those
things
and
I
have
been
actually
I.
Think
for
quite
a
few
and
honestly
I
love.
This
idea.
I
actually
did
a
lot
of
work
with
young
people
and
I
started
a
Cultural
District
2
art
committee,
which
was
bringing
artists
and
awareness
of
Art
and
the
desire
for
more
art,
public
art
than
our
district,
and
my
niece
is
actually
an
artist.
P
P
A
lot
that
she,
you
know
has
a
lot
to
say,
but
she's
her
knowledge
is
just
so
so
vast,
but
one
of
the
things
she
does
is
document,
history
and
and
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
actually
contacted
her,
wants
to
come
to
advise
them
and
consult
with
them.
But
she
didn't
take
it
because
it
was
a
position
she
didn't
take,
but
I
mean
it
would
be
nice
to
maybe
just
make
some
connections
with
her
and
and
maybe
the
director
and
go
from
there.
P
To
me,
I
I
think
that
that's
some
of
the
things
that
we
should
be
focusing
on
and
I
have
people.
You
know,
kids,
that
really
do
have
an
interest
and
I'd
like
to
you
know,
engage
them
a
little
bit
more
and
actually
one
of
them
did
pass
away
from
gun
violence,
and
he
was
what
probably
the
most
talented
of
a
lot
of
the
kids
that
we
had.
P
She
did
all
kinds
of
work.
All
the
public
meetings,
everything
she
was.
They
were
supposed
to
do.
The
public
was
supportive,
so
we
thought
until
they
went
up
to
put
the
art
up
and-
and
we
had
to
get
a
police
officer
to
get
to
escort
DPW
to
remove
the
art
from
the
area,
because
the
people
that
lived
around
it
didn't
want
it
and
it
was,
it
was
a
bench.
P
I
think
it
was
like
something
simple:
they
just
didn't
want
it,
but
they
had
to
have
a
police
escort,
take
it
over
to
a
different
division,
the
a
DPW
Division,
and
then
they
had
to
escort
the
artists
to
get
the
art
out
from
what
I
understand.
But
all
that-
and
they
did
all
the
public
art
but
I,
said
I.
P
Think
sometimes
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
also
engaging
Council,
because
we
might
know
something
about
that
area
or
something
that
might
be
going
on
so
that
we
don't
ever
have
an
instance
like
that
again
because
it
was,
it
was
bad
and
I
felt
so
bad
for
Sarah,
because
he
had
gone
through
everything
you
could
possibly
go
through.
I
mean
meetings.
Several
meetings
talk
to
me,
send
me
emails
and
when
I
saw
where
it
was
something.
Oh,
no
and
honestly,
you
know
who
knew
better
than
I.
P
Did
the
DPW
workers
they're
like
we
can't
even
go
back
there
and
clean
up
they,
you
know
without
being
a
constant,
so
so,
with
that
said,
I
think
it's
important
to
make
sure
you
engage.
You
know
not
any
aspect,
maybe
different
divisions
in
the
city
before
something's
approved.
That's
all
that's
it
for
me.
Thank.
O
You
I
mean
there's,
there's
a
tie
in
with
the
sports,
and
the
Arts
I
mean
I
work
for
a
company
called
Sports
and
the
Arts
they
curate
Sports
seniors
around
the
sports.
Arenas
around
the
country
and
I
have
a
theme
where
I'll
do
logo
treatments
using
traditional
oil
paint
and
brush
work
or
pastels.
But
I
came
up
with
a
theme
painting,
creating
logo
treatments
using
painted
basketballs
or
painted
footballs.
You
roll
a
basketball
or
football
on
canvas
or
paper.
It
leaves
an
imprint
of
the
basketball
leaves
that
you
see
the
logo
treatments.
O
You
can
see
the
seams
and
dimples
every
movement.
I
play
basketball.
Every
movement
on
the
basketball
court
is
a
creative
thought.
So
there
is
somebody
says:
I'm,
a
sports
person
I
just
play
basketball,
you're.
Now
you're
you're
creative,
you
you're,
you
know
behind
the
back.
Dribble
between
the
legs
pop
in
pop
out
take
a
hook
shot.
It's
all
creative
thought.
It's
all
ideas.
You
could
have
an
event
where
you
bring
in
kids,
who
are
really
into
basketball
in
a
neighborhood.
O
P
It
sounds
like
fun
to
me,
but
maybe
we
can
get
them
to
work
with
us
in
the
mayor's
office
who's
trying
to
build
additional
fields
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Maybe
there's
some
partnership
and
I.
Think
the
mayor
would
be
really
interested
in
that
as
well,
because
we're
talking
about
the
need
for
additional
ball
fields
in
the
community-
maybe
art,
ball
fields
and
and
the
partnership
with
your
organization.
P
Last
so
it's
the
darn
rco
meetings
and
the
damn
meetings
and
the
things
that
they
have.
The
City,
Planning
and
director
knows
very
much
how
I
feel
about
this.
But
anyway,
when
they
went
through
that
process,
the
group
doesn't
sometimes
cdcs,
don't
represent
the
residents
that
live
in
the
communities
and
people
always
assume
that,
that's
that
they
speak
for
everybody
and
they
don't
I
mean
they
just
don't
and
I
mean
even
us,
I
tell
people
all
the
time.
P
You
know
we
can
speak
for
the
public
it
we
have
to
engage
and
find
out
too
with
the
public
ones.
You
know,
even
though
we're
out
there
every
single
day,
and
so
when
you
have
a
group
and
the
guy
and
to
be
honest
with
you,
he
didn't
live
in
the
community,
so
he
I
mean
he
did
what
he
was
supposed
to
do
too.
P
Everybody
did
what
they
were
supposed
to
do,
but
it's
I
think
that
process
doesn't
work,
so
I
would
love
for
that
to
be
reviewed
and
we
actually
have
a
post
agenda
coming
up
about
it.
So
right,
director,
looking
forward
to
it,
aren't
you
thank
you,
but
she's
great,
so
I
think
we'll
get
to
a
good
place.
I
think
we'll
get
to
a
good
place
with
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
your
willing
to
serve.
I
really
appreciate
it.
Q
Q
I
would
love
to
see
a
list
as
to
what
the
argument
this
is
our
commission
correct?
Okay,
okay,
so
I'd
love
to
see
that
list,
because,
yes,
we
need
representation
from
the
South
Hills
I
have
confidence
in
all
you.
If
the
administration
does
you
know
I'm
fine,
with
with
your
appointments
but
I
just
come
to
address.
B
B
B
A
Q
A
B
D
B
Any
opposed
our
meeting
has
now
begun
our
next
order.
Business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
of
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are,
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
after
you
recall,
please
restate
your
name
and
your
neighborhood
for
the
record.
You
will
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
B
R
A
R
Public
spaces:
okay,
the
the
approach
that
I
take
to
Global
intelligence,
fuses,
21,
disciplinary
intelligences
and
information
matrices,
which
includes
visual
oral
olfactory,
chemical
somatic
tactile.
Yesterday
I
introduced
the
compound
C55
h72
mg
n403.
It
is
the
most
important
Compound
on
Earth
I
view
it
as
in
fact,
looking
at
it
molecularly
as
a
work
of
art.
It
is
a
chlorophyll
a
there
is
chlorophyll
A,
B,
C
D,
and
also
for
those
of
you
who
are
not
aware
that
chlorophyll
is
also
red.
R
R
A
a
second
thing
that
I
think
from
my
point
of
view
is
a
work
of
art
is
the
is
the
basketball
playing
of
LeBron,
James
I
think
he's
one
of
the
most
spectacular
players
in
the
history
of
the
NBA.
He
doesn't
need
for
me
to
say
that
he
surpassed
Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar
at
38
387
for
his
own
scoring
record
as
an
individual.
B
G
G
G
G
It
also
States
in
house
Congress
resolution
331,
hundreds
Congress
second
session,
that
on
page
three
Clause,
one
that
Congress
owes
that
obligation
the
Myanmar
people
of
these
lands.
For
for
our
actions
in
which
we
did
for
the
immigrants
who
came
over
here
and
still
was
that
here
to
this
day,
we
I
know
of
my
time
is
short,
so
I'll
kind
of
attempt
to
cut
it
short.
S
Although
other
people
who
are
here
now
and
have
been
here
for
many
many
years,
let's
say
decades
and
even
centuries-
are
calling
themselves
American,
which
is
very
disingenuous
and
disrespectful,
because
I
can't
move
to
China
and
obtain
citizenship,
and
now
I
am
Chinese.
Neither
can
any
immigrant
come
from
any
other
land
here,
regardless
how
they
got
here
and
call
themselves
an
American
and
in
fact
they
are
indeed
United.
States
citizens
and
I
accept
that
what
I
do
not
accept
is
forced
assimilation.
S
I
do
not
accept
genocide.
I
do
not
accept
racial
discrimination
or
xenophobia,
which
are
all
against
the
Constitution,
as
it
relates
to
our
people.
Article
1,
Section,
two
clustery
and
excluding
Indians
not
taxed
and
is
supported
by
many
maxims
of
law
treaties,
as
well
as
international
law,
and
the
age
group
is
very
clear.
Rejection
of
assimilation
for
our
people.
Our
people
have
a
right
to
maintain
and
express
freely
develop
a
cultural
identity
in
all
respects,
free
from
any
external
attempt.
S
Assimilation
and
States
shall
not
carry
out
adopted,
support
or
favor
any
policy
of
assimilation
of
our
people
or
destruction
of
our
culture.
So
when
you
talk
about
art
in
our
on
our
land
here,
what
you
call
Pittsburgh,
we
call
it
the
Delaware
territory,
as
it
is
still
known
and
acknowledged
in
our
treaty
with
or
the
Treaty
of
Fort
Pitt,
either
way
it's
the
same
treaty.
S
S
Also,
when
it
comes
to
the
police
and
assimilation
or
forced
assimilation
and
discrimination
and
genocide,
you
have
not
educated
your
police
on
the
Constitution
and
you
all
have
taken
a
note
to
the
Constitution
to
uphold,
protect
and
defend
it,
and
anything
other
is
treason
by
your
government,
not
by
us,
but
we
are
here
to
enforce
our
rights
on
All,
City,
municipal
officers,
agencies
and
corporations,
as
well
as
the
general
population.
So
when
we
interface
with
your
people,
it
is
important
that
they
know
who
we
are
and
that
they
know
their
obligation.
B
T
You
are
to
bring
the
community
in
if
you're
going
to
put
art
in
our
community,
we
should
have
some
say
so
I
say,
and
you
just
really
don't
seem
like
you
want
to
understand
how
I
feel
when
I
heard
Miss
gross
say
about
the
big
cute,
such
a
large
community
of
the
police
officer
Sergeant,
the
new
policeman
was
supposed
to
come
to
every
neighborhood.
Well,
she
said
her
in
the
mirror
decided
that
they
shouldn't
that
we
would
put
the
Hill
district
right
there
with
with
Bloomfield,
where
you
know
with
Lawrenceville.
T
Now
what
I'm
saying
is
this
if
they
decided
to
do
that,
they
could
have
had
the
meeting
right
here
in
city
council,
but
you
made
the
decision
that
we
had
to
go
to
her
area,
which
means
two
buses.
We
don't
have
cars
and
up
in
the
seniors,
most
of
us.
We
don't
have
cars,
so
we
have
to
take
the
bus
in
Lawrenceville.
They
don't
really
care
about
cars.
T
T
We
don't
have
a
bus
that
can
take
us
to
the
hospital
down
the
bottom
of
the
hill
and
when
I
go
and
I
try
to
find
out
to
the
County
Council,
because
that's
who
they
said
I
should
go
he's
going
to
say
coming
down
here
with
her
agent
with
us
agenda.
You
know
what
my
agenda
is
to
help
the
blind,
the
and
the
mentally
challenge
to
get
the
bus
to
the
hospital
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill.
My
daughter
takes
me:
I,
don't
have
to
worry
about
it,
but
I'm
worried
about
the
seniors.
T
You
know
what
you
just
have
done.
You've
thrown
us
away
we're
considering
nothing
up
there,
but
when
Kaley
Rivers
died
and
I
came
down
here
to
city
council
yesterday,
I
went
to
his
funeral.
You
can
go
to
his
funeral,
but
you
wouldn't
even
help
him
fight
for
us.
I
asked
his
aide,
petite
I
said
Mr
petite.
Would
they
want
city
council?
T
Would
he
wants
city
council
to
be
at
his
funeral
or
here
taking
care
of
the
city
business
and
he
looked
and
he
said
Mr
Elvis
would
want
him
here
in
City
Chambers,
not
at
his
funeral
over
at
the
Cathedral
of
Learning.
So
everybody
could
see
how
we
honor
him,
but
you're
not
honor
him.
If
you
don't
try
to
help
us,
he
said
I
want
a
bus
he's
talking
about
it.
It
was
a
million
dollars
to
have
a
bus
from
the
bottom
of
the
hill
or
to
the
top.
T
U
We
have
children
that
is
supposed
to
be
incarcerated,
they're,
let
out
you
go
home
with
the
ankle
bracelet
on
them
and
they
are
still
able
to
get
out
and
shoot
someone.
The
shooting
has
to
stop
what
happened
to
our
city.
We
used
to
help
one
another.
We
used
to
wanna
one
another.
It
used
to
be
a
growing
pleasure
to
help
one
another
now
I
know
people
that
are
sitting
among
you
now
that
has
property
that
can
be
used
for
the
homeless,
but
they
choose
not
to
help.
They
want
to
sit
around
and
talk
about.
U
It
talk
about
different
ideas,
but
don't
nothing
concrete
and
it
doesn't
go
anywhere
and
these
young
children
we
need
to
get
back
the
name
of
our
city.
We
used
to
be
so
very
proud.
The
Pittsburgh
now
we're
letting
the
enemy
comment
destroy
us.
We
have
to
get
up
and
do
our
work
and
do
our
job.
We
just
can't
sit
here
and
talk
about
it.
We
gotta
be
about
it.
We
need
an
action
plan
of
our
city,
we
need
to
help
each
other
and
bring
our
city
back
together.
U
We
got
to
work
together,
let's
be
about
it,
don't
just
talk
about
it,
send
help
to
the
homeless
and
cover
our
children.
There
are
some
good
children
out
there
that
want
something
that
wants
to
grow
up
to
help
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
they're
being
brought
down
with
the
children
that
don't
want
anything
separate
them
do
something
to
help
us
we're
begging
for
help
for
our
city.
That's
what
we
need
and
that's
what
we
want
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
get
I'm
a
fighter
and
I'm
not
gonna
give
up.
Thank
you
very
much.

P
A
P
H
P
Working
on
that
they're
already,
a
lot
of
our
budget
office
is
already
working
on
a
reporting
system
mechanism
in
some
way
that
we
can
give
better
reports
to
the
public.
This
is
separate
because
this
is
the
money's
already
going
out
the
door
so
that
we
want
to
get
make
sure
that
as
we're
doing
that,
we
have
something,
but
we
have
to
have
something
for
we're
working
with
the
Housing
Opportunity
fund
or
no
I'm,
sorry,
the
food
Justice
fund
and
so
and
all
of
our
other
money.
P
B
V
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I,
appreciate
that
and
folks
we
were
talking
about
the
I
think
at
two
different
budget
hearings,
that
kind
of
like
what
are
the
appropriate
metrics
who's
capturing
which
of
the
data.
It's
really
actually
difficult
to
track
individuals
over
time,
right
and
so
the
outcomes
for
the
Stop.
V
W
B
V
Thank
you,
I
know,
I
I
apologize
on
my
part,
and
if,
when
we
reschedule
them,
there
could
be
an
email
to
our
staff,
it's
really
hard
for
all
of
us
to
you
know
we're
not
constantly
staring
to
see
events
pop
up
on
our
online
calendars,
a
bit
like
labeled
I
know
we
all
get
so
our
staff
get
so
many
emails.
We
all
get
so
many
emails,
so
I'm
happy
to
make
time
to
schedule
it
if
I
can
catch
in
advance,
so
I
apologize.
P
So
I
would
say:
councilwoman
gross
you're,
one
of
the
people
that
you
councilwoman
Strasburg,
are
almost
always
attending
the
meetings
so
I
just
and
some
of
you
are
really
good
at
attending
them,
but
I
just
want
to
say
it.
We
had
this
scheduled
and
it
was
probably
at
a
time
when
we
had
so
much
going
on,
because
there
was.
There
has
been
a
lot
going
on
lately
and
we're
also
increasing
the
the
amount
of
it
seems
like
the
amount
of
executive
sessions,
and
it
helps
to
have
a
solicitor
here
with
us
now.
P
So
I
think
you
know,
he's
also
attending
them.
So
he
when
he
attends
him,
he
usually
advises
Us
in
some
way.
So
for
this,
for
this
particular
thing,
I
think
because
there's
so
many
bills,
we'll
just
hold
for
one
week,
get
some
information.
If
we're
not
comfortable,
we
won't
let
them
go
back
on
the
agenda.
B
E
You
and
I'll
just
say,
I
agree
with
what
my
colleagues
are
saying,
that
there
has
been
a
tremendous
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
I
know.
The
clerk's
office
does
their
very
best
to
schedule
things
during
hours
and
times
that
are
convenient
for
us
and
there's.
But
there's
a
lot
coming
at
us
all
the
time,
and
sometimes
it
is
scheduled
very
quickly
right.
E
So
we
have
maybe
a
day
or
a
couple
days
notice
and
if
we
already
have
something
scheduled,
I
know
when
I'm
scheduling
something
it's
two
weeks
out
because
I'm
my
schedules
is
booked.
You
know
hour
to
hour
every
single
day
with
something
so
I
know
that
in
the
past
we
had
reserved
very
specific
times
like
Tuesdays
and
Wednesday
afternoons
or
Tuesday
and
Thursday
afternoons.
Exactly
remember
the
times
that
we
were
meant
to
block
out
so
that
we
could
very
easily
have
those
slotted
in.
E
P
Thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
say
some
of
these
things.
I,
don't
think
we
should
be
having
executive
session
for
I.
Think
the
public
has
a
right
to
know
how
we're
working
on
our
collective
bargaining
and
what
we're
doing
I
think
they
have
some
rights
to
know
some,
especially
when
we're
spending
money
outside
of
our
own
Law
Department.
We
have
you
know
about
40
attorneys
up
there
I
think
the
public
has
a
right
to
know
what
some
of
those
costs
are
and
why
we're?
P
Why
we're
going
down
this
road,
maybe
not
every
detail,
but
there
should
be
some
things
that
we
should
be
able
to
discuss
publicly,
but
for
me,
I'm
just
going
to
make
a
motion
motion
to
hold
for
one
week
and
then
we'll
work
through
this
with
the
administration.
If
we're
not

It's
eight
thousand
dollars.
They
have
a
a
purchase
agreement
at
I,
believe
it's
Home
Depot,
however,
Citibank
hasn't
processed
all
the
invoices
and
so
they've
reached
their
credit
maximum.
So,
in
order
to
purchase
the
necessary
equipment,
they
had
to
utilize
P
cars,
which
purchasing
was
okay
with
because
they're
trying
to
work
out
Citibank
approving
all
the
past
invoices,
so
they
get
below
their
their
credit
amount.
V
Y
V
Y
I
didn't
bring
my
computer
up
with
me,
but
I
do
have
the
email
from
the
procurement
Bureau,
who
did
explain
it's
just
working
to
to
get
those
past
invoices
processed,
which
it
does
take
time
to
to
go
through
all
of
the
the
steps
with
the
controller's
office,
which
is
for
a
reason
to
make
sure
that
we're
spending
City
dollars
appropriately.
So
director.
Y
D

Aye
any
opposed
the
rules
have
been

So
now
we
can
entertain
the
motion
to
approve

cards.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye
any
opposed
P
cars
are
approved.
Thank
you.
All
that
takes
us
to
Public
Works
and
infrastructure
committee
chair
by
councilman
Cog
Hill,
our
first
new
papers,
Bill
1168.,.
I
Bill
1168
resolution
amending
resolution
number
203,
effective
May,
14
2022,
entitled
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
director
of
the
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
to
apply
for
grant
funding
from
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Conservation
and
natural
resources.
Community
conservation,
Partnerships
program
to
provide
funding
for
a
trail
condition
study
to
accept
the
Grant
and
authorized
necessary
expenditures.
Motion
to.
Q
P
H
Yeah
I
mean
I,
guess,
I
would
sort
of
I
when
we're
applying
for
these
grants.
In
my
experience
with
Domi,
there
have
been
situations
where
we
have
applied
for
Grants
and
that
not
necessarily
this
this
situation
right,
but
where
we
have
applied
for
Grants
and
then
down
the
road
sort
of
been
told.
We
have
to
do
this
work
because
we
applied
for
this
Grant
and
then
really.
H
Ultimately,
the
grant
that
we
applied
for
was
for
something
we
didn't
need,
and
so
we
found
ourselves
doing
work
that
we
didn't
really
need
to
do
because
we
applied
for
a
grant
and
we
didn't
want
to
leave
the
grants
on
the
table.
So
with
that
in
mind
and
I
did
I
I
think
I
looked
at
all
the
documentation,
but
maybe
I
didn't
and
I
apologize
if
there's
something
I
missed,
but
I'd
I
guess
I
would
like
to
before
we
approve
this
I
would
like
to
understand
just
what?
B
Z
Name's
Jeff
skelick
I'm,
the
deputy
director
for
the
Department
of
Mobility
infrastructure.
This
grant
we
did
receive
the
agreeance
for
73
000
and
it's
to
hire
consultant
to
accept
to
ex
excuse
me
to
have
an
asset
management
of
the
existing
Trail.
So
this
is,
for
the
whole
entire
Trail
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
So
hopefully,
from
this
grant,
projects
will
come
out
out
of
it.
So
we
can
apply
for
future
grants
to
be
able
to
fix
our
trails
to
be
able
to
be
working
conditions.
H
H
Z
So
hopefully,
we'll
be
able
to
get
like
hire
a
consultant
in
March
we're
going
to
put
out
a
proposal,
hire
consultant
and
they'll
be
able
to
give
us
an
assessment
of
the
current
conditions
of
the
trail
so
for
a
certain
trail
that
has
a
glance
lot
or
needs
fixed,
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
stronger
application
for
a
future
Grant
okay.
So
we
need
this
background
for,
like
more
information
from
the
existent
Trail
to
apply
for
a
grant.
H
Okay,
okay,
great
and
it
would
be
nice
so
again,
like
I,
said,
I
think
I
read
through
the
emails,
maybe
there's
something
I
miss.
You
know
in
the
the
paperwork
that
comes
with.
You
know
these
resolutions,
but
if,
if
we
could
include
if,
if
Domi
could
kind
of
include
that
information,
that
would
be
super
helpful.
A
H
V
A
V
V
So
if
someone
could
like
refresh
my
memory
of
kind
of
like
how
do
we
have
this
set
up
budgetarily
for
authorizations
to
apply
for
Grants
I
think
this
could
really
help
us
in
keeping
track
of
like
what
the
administration
is
applying
for.
Certainly,
it's
happened
with
playgrounds.
In
my
district,
it's
happened
with
streets
projects
in
my
districts.
Similarly,
it's
kind
of
like
somehow
no
one
knew
that
there
was
a
grant
applied
for
and
now
there's
a
project.
So
is
there
a
Dollar
threshold
or.
V
Seem
like
that
always
happens,
so
this
is
probably
a
line
of
discussion
not
for
the
assistant
director
of
Domi,
but
I
can
take
it
offline
to
our
budget
office
after
this
meeting,
because
it
similarly
I
didn't
really
think
about
it
on
this
item
today.
But
it's
been
a
discussion
in
my
office
of
like
gosh.
V
Where
are
these
projects
coming
from
and
how
were
we
didn't
seem
like
we
were
looped
in
how
we
might
have
been
looped
in
so
I,
see
that
this
is
you
said,
Trails
all
over
the
city
but
I'm
going
to
pursue
that
one.
So,
back
to
back
to
this
specific
bill,
you
mentioned
the
major
Parks
like
Shenley,
Park
and
riverfronts.
V
I
have
Highland
Park,
which
has
a
lot
of
kind
of
volunteers,
Trail
groups
that
have
built
trails
and
actually
maintain
the
trails
and
I
think
you
know
it's
all
in
the
Cooperative
agreements
with
the
parks.
Since
there
are,
you
know
in
the
rad
Parks,
especially
Cooperative
agreements
on
these
things.
So
what
about
Greenways.
V
If
you
can
remember
to
follow
up
with
me,
so
we
can
figure
out
kind
of
how
does
council
get
looped
into
these?
Not
just
dummy
projects,
but
projects
where
there's
grants
being
applied
for
I've
on
the
record,
saying
I
think
we
should
be
applying
for
more
grants
like
I.
Don't
want
to
also
leave
any
money
on
the
table.
I
want
us
to
to
not
only
do
this
but
pursue
more,
but
it
does
it
can't
be
willy-nilly.
It
does
have
to
be
coordinated
with
Community
priorities
and
other
capital
projects,
Etc
et
cetera
and
I.
V
P
So
I
just
every
time.
This
comes
up
about
Trails
every
time.
Something
comes
up
about.
Trails
I.
Ask
about
this:
the
trails
that
we
had
under
Tom
Murphy,
where
they
were
all
marked
all
throughout
the
entire
city.
They
had
them.
They
didn't
connect
all
the
way.
But
to
me
it
seems
like
when
we're
fighting
about
bike
lanes
and
and
pedestrian
trails
and
and
all
those
sorts
of
things,
there's
a
trail
system
in
place.
P
They
were
and
connected
better
because
I
think
part
of
the
problem
was
they
didn't
all
connect
and
so
I
think,
if,
if
the
issue
is
connecting
them
and
it's
not
as
difficult
as
as
it
is
creating
new
bike
lanes
and
new
walking
trails,
why
are
we
not
looking
at
what
we
have
existing
and
trying
to
expand
in
that?
That's
all
and
I
still
have
the
signs
and
I
can
take
photos
and
show
you
where
the
signs
are
I
can
find
them.
So
you
know
it's
not
that
hard
Okay.
So.
E
Thank
you
and
I
would
Echo
everything.
That's
already
been
said
by
my
colleagues
and
yeah.
I
also
would
like
to
learn
more
about
which
Trails
there
are
the
trails
that
are
sort
of
The,
Wider
dirt
trails
in
our
parks.
There
are
the
single
track
trails
in
our
parks.
There
are
the
pave
Trails
on
the
riverfronts
and
I
did
want
to
clarify,
though
you
said,
these
are
not
bike
trails
but
like
the
ones
on
the
riverfronts
are
walking
and
bike
right.
So
we
are
including
those
and
that.
Z
E
Great
and
by
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
the
answer
to
this,
but
in
conversations
I've
had
with
director
Lucas
there's
been
a
conversation
around.
You
know
squeezing
every
amount
out
of
our
grants
to
help
cover
Opera
operating
costs
right
so
to
help
pay
the
salaries
of
the
staff
that
are
going
to
is
that
and
is
that
an
option
here?
Well.
Z
E
E
A
D
B
A
Q
P
B
V
Z
V
Comes
up
because
it
really
is
like
the
top
concern
from
the
community,
and
we
were
even
just
talking
about
it.
Last
night
in
the
community
meeting
and
I
have
written
confirmation
that
says
the
exact
same
thing,
I'm
just
going
to
keep
saying
that,
because
it's
really
it's,
you
know
the
two
points
of
access
into
the
neighborhood,
and
it's
really
a
big
concern
that
they're
not
at
the
same
time.
So
do
you
have
a
new
timeline?
You
said
it's
going
more
quickly.
It.
Z
D
B
W
B
A
W
This
is
a
corresponding
Bill
that
corresponds
with
the
changes
that
we
made
in
the
arpa
funding.
So
this
is
just
a
bill
that
goes
alongside
that:
I'm,
not
actually
it's
not
alongside
it,
but
it
needs
to
happen
in
order
to
make
those
changes
effective
and
the
budget
director
is
here.
If
anyone
make
any
questions
on
that.
B
A
E
Thank
you.
This
this
bill
needs
to
be
held
for
a
for
the
Planning
Commission
hearing,
so
I
will
make
a
motion
to
hold
for
Planning
Commission,
but
I
I
can
reserve
that
until
we
have
answers
from
other
council
members
and
I'm
happy
to
describe
what's
what's
included
in
this
bill,
zoning
administrator
Layman
did
have
a
conflict.
He
was
here
earlier,
but
we-
we
didn't
quite
get
to
this
in
time
for
him
to
be
able
to
explain
it,
but
I'm
happy
to
go
over
that
if
there.
If
there
are
any
questions.
V
Thank
you
Mr
chair,
so
my
question
is
and
I
just
I
didn't
catch
this
before
today's
meeting
is
kind
of
since
it's
a
zoning
Amendment.
What
is
the
amount
of
work
on
the
Planning
Commission
or
the
planning
department
and
the
Planning
Commission,
because
we
there
are
very
many
of
us
council
members
who
are
trying
to
do
work
that
would
involve
zoning
amendments
in
with
the
planning
department
and
we've
been
told
to
kind
of
cool
our
Jets
and
all
the
other
metaphors
for
slowing
down
and
because
of
the
workload
I'm
planning
and
so
I.
E
E
They
were
like
at
least
three
in
my
district
that
were
trying
to
get
replacement
air
conditioners
and
came
to
me
because
they,
even
though,
where
they
were
trying
to
replace
their
air
conditioning
units
in
kind
in
the
exact
same
location
as
before,
there
was
the
need
for
an
administrator's
exception
because
they
didn't
fit
within
certain.
You
know
restrictions
around,
even
though
they
were
within
the
setback.
They
needed
a
letter
from
a
neighbor
and
they
needed
to
go
through
all
this
process
and
it
just
added
to
the
process
and
then
I
think
go
to
zoning.
E
The
zoning
board
for
this
yeah
I
believe
it
was
the
zoning
board
for
this.
So
this
aims
to
maybe
not
change
what
is
necessary,
like
it
doesn't
account
for
whether
it
is
a
replacement
in
the
exact
same
location,
but
it
does
say
that
if
it
takes
it
out
of
the
administrator's
exception
and
puts
HVAC
replacement
or
HVAC,
you
know
with
certain
guidelines
around
it
for
rear
and
side
and
front
setback
requirements
into
a
buy
right
approval,
and
it
just
so.
It
does
reduce
the
load.
X
E
I
can
do
is
find
out
exactly
what
they
will
need
to
what
steps
they
will
need
to
take
prior
to
the
Planning
Commission,
because
the
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
question.
From
my
perspective,
it's
Planning
Commission
and
then
approval
and
then
back
to
council,
and
but
there
might
be
more
to
the
story,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
find
out.
AA
A
V
V
She
needed
my
signature
right
because
when
you
live
in
in
neighborhoods,
where
you're
you
know
four
feet
apart,
some
places
are
even
three
feet
apart.
You
know-
maybe
you
really
shouldn't-
have
that
condenser
under
somebody's
window.
They
can
be
very
loud,
especially
if
they're
not
maintained
right.
So
the
it's
it's
it's.
This
that's
what's
happening
now,
but
I
wonder
I
have
a
little
nervousness
about
it
going
fully
by
right,
especially
when
you
live
in
neighborhoods,
where
there's
so
much
flipping
and
so
much
house
renovation
going
on.
V
So
you
know
you're
ending
up
with
not
just
one
condenser,
but
a
lot
of
condensers
on
going
in
so
I
kind
of
wish
to
I
didn't
read
the
text
file
I
will
read
the
text
file
if
everybody
else
is
comfortable
going
ahead
and
sending
it
to
the
Planning
Commission
we'll
just
deal
with
it
that
way,
but
I'm
definitely
going
to
read
it.
So.
Thank
you.
That's
all
I
have
thank.
P
I
11.79
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
the
director
of
the
Department
of
city
planning
to
enter
into
an
agreement
or
agreement
with
the
use
of
existing
agreements
between
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
the
urban
Redevelopment
Authority
and
Industrial
Arts
Workshop.
In
for
the
creation
of
artwork
on
land,
which
is
owned
by
the
Ura
and
which
is
intended
to
be
transferred
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
W
W
AA
AA
There
is
land
that
the
Ura
has
been
working
on
Somerset
at
Frick
Park,
which
is
intended
to
be
gifted
to
the
city.
As
part
of
that,
there's
been
an
ongoing
conversation
between
the
city
and
the
Ura
about
sort
of
expectations
and
requirements
of
what
needs
to
happen
on
that
land
before
it
comes
over
to
the
city's
ownership.
What's.
W
AA
AA
Just
the
the
green
space
in
between
them
and
my
understanding
is
that
they're
following
our
percent
for
our
ordinance,
the
old
version,
because
this
has
been
a
project
in
the
works
for
a
while,
where
one
percent
of
the
construction
cost
to
turn
that
into
that
green
space.
Park
was
reserved
for
public
art,
so
they've
gone
through
a
very
similar
process.
X
W
W
B
This
is
It's
the
entire
development,
so
so
there
was
a
there
used
to
be
just
a
slab
heat
the
Ura
redeveloped,
the
entire
that
slab
heat
to
build
all
the
homes.
You
know
all
of
that
they're
now,
following
through
on
the
total
development
costs
of
Somerset,
one
percent
of
that
had
to
be
commissioned
for
artwork.
They
finally
got
to
the
place
where
they're
ready
to
install
the
artwork
and
then
that

This
is
why
I
always
check
with
council
members
when
projects
are
moving
forward
in
their
districts
to
see
if
it's
at
the
point
where
we
should
be
even
approving
a
sewer
module
and
I
will
I
haven't
had
this
conversation
with
the
new
Administration
yet,
but
I
will
revisit
this
with
the
law
department
and
see
why
this
sequencing
is
is
out
of
order.
I've
spoken
to
our
solicitor
about
it
in
the
past,
so
motion
to
hold
four
weeks.
Second,
thank
you.
P
A
A
B
Aye,
can
you
oppose
affirmative
recommendation
that
exhaust
our
agenda?
We
do
have
meeting
announcements
next
week.
Council
will
hold
our
regular
and
standing
community
meeting
on
Tuesday
February
14th
and
Wednesday
February
15th
at
10,
A.M
respectively.
Speaker
registration
will
close
at
9
00
a.m.
The
day
of
the
meeting
to
register
to
speak
of
these
meetings
in
hearings,
please
vote
to
sign
up
for
them
on
the
council
meeting
webpage.
You
may
also
call
the
clerk's
office
at
412-255-2138
anything
from
Members
Madam,
president
I.
P
P
Someone
thank
him
for
his
for
his
diligence
and
wish
him
well,
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
last
night
I
attended
a
meeting
in
my
district,
where
a
lot
of
the
athletic
associations
came
together
to
meet
with
Chris,
hornstein
and
and
Marcel
Newman
and
other
people
from
that
they
put
together
and
I
really
want
to
thank
them
for
continuing
those
meetings
and
for
having
those
meetings
to
help
people
through
the
permitting
process.
But
one
of
the
things
came
up.
P
They
wanted
to
thank
us
for
the
permitting
process,
but
they
did
make
one
suggestion,
and
so
I
told
them
we'd
make
that
one
Amendment
and
it's
my
it's
minor
but
I
just
want
to
thank
them
and
I'm
glad
that
they
paid
attention
and
I'm
glad
that
what
we
did
was
helpful.
So
I
thank
councilman
Wilson's
office
again
for
working
through
that
I
think
they
did
a
really
good
job
with
that,
with
with
trying
to
capture
what
everybody
wanted.
P
P
They
have
a
small
budget,
and
so
you
know
it's
really
they're
doing
a
lot
of
amazing
things,
but
DPW
really
they
had
a
lot
of
accolades
yesterday
from
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
from
our
constituents.
So
I
think
it
was
important
to
hear
that
so
and
they're
going
to
continue
to
meet
with
us
on
some
other
things
too.
They
want
to
meet
with
us.
That's
good.
