Thank
you.
Our
next
order,
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
that
the
rules
and
councils
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official

permitted
after
you
recall,
please
restate
your
name,
provide
your
neighborhood
for
the
record
you'll
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
Our

C
D
Memorial
Green
Space
is
the
solution
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Bon
Air
Community.
Without
that
there
is
no
valid
governance.
Here's
the
situation,
an
excellent
school
is
closed.
The
building
has
become
a
threat
in
detrimental
harm.
It
should
be
condemned
and
sold
to
the
city
for
adults.
It
must
be
torn
down
parks
and
trees.
Pittsburgh
funding
youth
to
make
it
a
green
space.
If
residents
of
Bon
Air
Force
as
volunteers,
why
are
we
paying
taxes
for
continued
detriment?
Why
should
we
take
taxes
for
a
detriment?
D
We
do
not
consent
to
a
detrimental
building
remaining
to
Decay.
As
a
community
we
have
built
and
maintained.
Former
mayor
badudo
was
defeated
and
elected
disgrace.
He
appointed
a
panel
that
claims
the
Bonaire
Elementary
building
should
remain.
We,
the
people
of
Bonaire,
have
driven
past
former
school
buildings
and.
C
D
The
stories
of
human
feces
and
hallways
and
criminal
acts
around
these
buildings.
We,
the
people,
say
no
to
any
use
of
school,
except
as
a
green
space.
The
city
controller
is
a
fiscal
Watchdog
for
the
citizens
of
Pittsburgh.
It
is
the
job
of
the
controller
to
protect
city
tax
dollars
from
waste
Fraud
and
Abuse.
Michael
Lamb
should
have
attended
our
meeting
to
explain
why
the
waste
Fraud
and
Abuse
continues
wasted.
Thousands
of
dollars
per
month
is
occurring.
Fraud
was
perpetrated
with
the
claim
of
community's
support
for
the
sale
of
the
building.
D
Why
won't
he
advocate
for
we,
the
people
who
have
been
harmed
by
this
detrimental
building?
Who
does
he
serve
it's
just
the
public
schools
stated
who
guidance
when
it
closed
the
schools
for
months.
Why
would
a
Pennsylvania,
School
District
use
the
private
Global
club
called
The
World
Health
Organization
as
the
authority
to
shut
down
our
tax-funded
public
school
system?
This
points
to
further
ways
to
Fraud
and
Abuse
Sweden
and
Florida
are
two
examples
of
superiority
of
business
and
educational
outcomes.
A
F
Hello
Council
and
thanks
for
your
time
my
name
is
Rick
Noor
and
I'm
from
Brookline.
Two
weeks
ago,
I
heard
on
the
news
that
you
have
a
problem
with
your
city,
pools
being
understaffed
with
lifeguards
and
so
I
didn't
know.
What
was
going
on.
I
was
interested
in
going
down
to
more
pool
our
brand
new
pool
that
we
have
up
there.
It
looks
like
a
great
pool
and
I
can't
wait
to
try
it,
but
it
was
closed
and
when
I
went
down
there
I
said
well.
When
is
it
supposed
to
open?
F
They
said
we
don't
know
when
it's
going
to
open.
We
don't
have
enough
lifeguards
now,
I
know,
there's
been
a
problem
with
lifeguards
for
since
covet
ended.
Last
year
there
was
a
problem
getting
enough
lifeguards
and
it's
been
over
a
year
now.
So
what
I
did
was
I
looked
up
and
I
said:
where
can
I
go
to
a
pool?
Now,
I
noticed,
Dorman
pool
was
open
in
the
evenings
between
4
30
and
7
30
on
weekdays.
F
Green
Tree
report
was
open,
oh
by
the
way
dormant
pool
is
opened
on
the
weekends
for
their
full
schedule,
but
then
I
went
out
to
sod
Park,
Wave,
Pool
and
I
noticed
they
had
20
lifeguards
out
there
and
I
asked
them
about
it
and
I
know.
Settlers
cabinets
were
open.
I
noticed
that
North
Park
is
open,
and
what
I'm
here
to
ask
you,
because
I
called
the
mayor's
office
again
today
and
and
I
inquired
I
said:
when
are
you
going
to
open
the
polls
they
said?
F
Well,
we
don't
know
I'm
sorry,
but
this
is
unacceptable.
This
is
the
7th
of
June
you've
had
a
year
to
work
on
the
problem.
Why
don't
we
have
enough
lifeguards?
Okay,
I
know
last
year,
I
believe
you
raised
their
pay
or
tried
to
entice
people.
I
I,
don't
understand
it.
Why
are
the
County
polls
open
at
full
staff
and
well,
they
might
be
slightly
understaffed,
is
what
I
understand
they've
had
to
shift
some
pool
guards
around,
but
in
the
city
what's
going
on?
F
When
are
we
going
to
open
our
polls
and
exactly
how
many
lifeguards
do
we
have?
How
many
are
needed
and
what
is
the
status
of
the
training?
As
far
as
that
goes,
I
know,
I'm
not
supposed
to
ask
questions,
but
I
just
want
to
make
this
statement,
because
I
think
this
is
unacceptable
for
the
city
residents
who
pay
taxes
to
our
pools.
We
did
have
a
big
increase.
F
F
What's
going
on
and
get
the
ball
rolling
on
our
city
pools,
we
should
at
least
have
them
open
in
the
evenings
after
Memorial
Day,
so
the
kids
have
a
place
to
go
and-
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
about
that
and
I
appreciate
your
time
and
thank
you,
but
I'd
really
appreciate.
If
you
ask
the
people
that
are
in
charge
of
the
polls
what's
going
on
and
put
a
little
heat
under
their
under
their
under
the
wheels
and
get
get
the
ball
moving,
because
the
kids
need
to
pull
this
open.
G
G
Don't
think
that
he
can
be
faulted
because
about
two
weeks
ago
I
noticed
all
these
people
laying
in
front
of
the
library
they
were
not
here,
I,
don't
know
where
they
brought
them
in
the
bus
at
night,
because
I
there's
a
man
that
I've
been
trying
to
help
he's
he's
not
homeless.
I
thought
he
was.
He
lives
with
his
mother
he's
trying
to
get
his
social
security.
So
I
told
him
to
talk
to
the
state
representative,
so
I
mean
he's
down
there.
All
the
time
and
I
said.
Where
did
he
said?
G
He
don't
know
where
they
came
from
and
he's
sitting
down
there
all
the
time
every
day
he's
there
so
Mr
Lavelle.
Some
of
this
is
not
your
fault,
even
though
I
thought
it
was,
but
until
I
seen
all
them
people
I
know
you
ain't
went
and
got
them
and
brought
them
here.
Somebody
sent
them
here
and
then
also
Mr
cardhill
I
saw
where
you
you
were
asking
for
two
dummies.
Wasn't
too
mannequins
there
was
like
150
000.
Oh
I
must
Define.
C
G
G
Say
to
you,
Mr
cardhill
I
went
back
to
the
building
and
the.
H
G
G
You
act
like
you,
don't
know
who
she
is,
but
the
people
are
telling
me
that
she
sits
in
that
office
with
her
and
every
time
she
comes
in
she
waves
at
her,
so
I
went
and
I
said
she's
out
there
I
said
she
was
running
chasing
Holland
after
me,
I
said
call
the
police
she's
outside
I
thought
she
wasn't
supposed
to
be
on
the
property.
None
of
that
property,
if
they
say
she's
not
allowed
she's
number
10
on
the
list.
My
daughter
sent
you
that
email
I'm
telling
you
I
cannot
fight
that.
G
Well,
I've
never
been
a
fighter,
but
I
have
been
going
to
Pitt
dental
school
and
the
last
woman
that
jumped
on
me
up
there
I
bit
her
and
this
one
when
she
was
talking
about
old
people.
This
one
is
following
me
around
I,
said:
I:
don't
fight
that
well,
I've
been
going
to
Pitt
dental
school.
These
are
all
my
teeth
and
they
they
reinforce
them.
I'm
gonna
bite
you
till
I
die
and
I
mean
it.
We
I
can't
protect
myself
I'm
an
old
woman.
C
G
A
B
A
A
I'm
sorry,
the
motion
was
to
hold
for
four
weeks,
so
the
bill
will
be
held
for
four
weeks.
Sorry,
new
papers,
Bill
1586.
C
B
I
Just
had
a
couple
questions,
so
this
is
the
or
amend
the
fee.
Schedule
is
this:
what
are
we
amending
here?.
E
As
we
talk
about
it
sure
it's
an
adjustment
to
the
fee
schedule
as
it
relates
to
zoning
fees,
to
establish
a
maximum
fee
of
forty
thousand
dollars
for
any
zoning
application.
So
in
the
2023
budget
we
modified
the
fee
schedule
for
zoning
fees.
E
We
brought
them
into
line
with
the
actual
cost
of
review.
For
many
years
the
city's
been
essentially
under
charging
on
the
whole
applicants
for
zoning
fees
and
the
the
general
fund
has
been
covering
a
significant
portion
of
the
cost
of
the
zoning
and
Development
Division
within
planning
that
reviews
those
applications.
E
We
adopted
a
new
fee
consistent
with
the
fee
study
that
we've
been
using
for
several
years
in
other
departments
that
made
that
base
that
fee
on
the
total
cost
of
the
project
which
we
have
extensive
research
to
demonstrate,
is
a
strong
foundation
for
the
the
amount
of
time
it
takes
to
review
an
application.
But
in
that
initial
modeling
there
was
no
maximum
fee
and
for
some
ex
you
know
very
large
and
very
high
value
projects
that
created
very
high
potential
fees.
E
It's
still
only
three
percent
of
the
total
value
of
the
project,
so
you
know
it's
scaled,
but
that
led
to
some
questions
or
concerns
within
the
Development
and
Construction
Community,
which
we
in
working
through
that
in
discussion
with
them,
determined
that
a
40
thousand
dollar
maximum
fee
would
be
reasonable.
It
meets
the
revenue
projections.
We
need
to
fund
the
division,
so
this
has
no
negative
impact
on
the
budget
or
on
our
Revenue.
E
In
reality,
only
about
four
percent
of
the
applications
we
receive
come
in
at
over
a
million
dollars
total
value
and
they
vary
widely
from
year
to
year.
So
we
don't
really
Budget
on
the
basis
of
those
applications,
because
the
number
that
come
in
or
their
total
value
varies
widely.
96
percent
of
applications
are
for
a
million
dollars
or
less,
and
in
fact
70
percent
of
our
applications
are
for
less
for
projects
with
a
value
of
less
than
fifty
thousand
dollars
under
this
fee
schedule.
E
Folks
doing
projects
of
that
size
will
actually
see
a
reduction
in
their
cost,
so
the
fee
schedule
that
we
all
adopted
as
part
of
the
budget
last
year,
I
think
more
correctly
allocates
the
burden
of
paying
for
our
zoning
review
activities
to
projects
based
on
the
amount
of
time
they
take.
But
this
maximum
fee
helps
address
some
kind
of
edge
cases
for
the
extremely
large
and
extremely
expensive
projects.
Okay,.
E
C
E
E
We
calculated
the
cap
based
on
the
amount
that
would
be
necessary
for
the
instituting
of
the
cap
not
to
disrupt
the
budget
and
not
to
a
lower
cap
would
have
risked
the
the
fee
schedule
not
raising
enough
in
Revenue
to
cover
the
cost
of
the
zdr
team.
So
this
with
this
cap,
we
know
that
it
will
not
negatively
impact
the
budget.
I
Yeah
and
then
with
the
last
fee
that
was
proposed,
it
was
you
know,
in
discussions
with
with
Kyle
and
and
pli
and
and
well
mostly
those
two
two
people,
I
was,
you
know
they
were
referencing
in
terms
of
like
you
know,
people
want
to
turn
around
faster,
so
they
you
know,
that's
why
we
had
an
increased
fee
initially
and
we
were
going
to
hire
people
where
we
were
in
the
process
of
hiring
people.
Is
that
still
yeah.
E
Correct
nothing
in
there
has
changed
even
with
this
in
instituting
of
a
cap.
The
revised
fee
schedule,
even
with
this
cap,
provides
the
revenue
necessary
to
expand
the
zoning
and
development
review
division
in
a
way
that
can
turn
applications
around
more
quickly
and
provide
a
higher
level
of
service.
J
No
based
on
I'm
guessing
the
budget,
the
this
is
what
four
per
you
said.
Four
percent
of
any
is
going
to
exceed
this
amount
and
actually
be
of
any
of
any
proposal
will
be
subject
to
this
cap,
and
so,
given
the
fluctuations,
it's
not
actually
going
to
make
an
impact.
Can
you
dig
into
that
just
a
little
bit
further
like
how
do
we
then
set
the
the
budget
for
recouping
the
I'm,
assuming
these
fees
are
to
recoup
the
cost
for
the
work
done?
How
do
we
then
set
the
budget
based
on
fluctuating
proposals
that.
E
E
But,
as
yes,
as
I
said,
you
know
on
average
projects
with
a
value
of
over
a
million
dollars
which
is
really
when
we
start
to
get
into
the
area
where
this
cap
has
an
impact,
only
constitute
four
percent
of
what
we've
historically
seen
in
our
applications.
E
The
real
the
majority
of
the
revenue
for
zoning
and
development
review
fees
really
comes
from
those
projects
between
fifty
thousand
and
a
million
dollars
in
value
which
is
unaffected
by
the
cap,
because
if
your
value
is
within
there,
then
you're
not
reaching
forty
thousand,
and
so
we
feel
confident
based
on
both
historic
Trends
and
the
way
we've
modeled
this,
as
well
as
what
we've
seen
so
far
in
development
activity
this
year,
that
even
with
this
cap
in
place
that
the
level
of
activity
that
we
projected
will
be
coming
in
and
that,
as
a
result,
the
amount
of
Revenue
we
expect
from
fees
this
year
will
meet
the
the
amount
necessary
to
fund.
J
Okay
on
the
record
I'm
fully
in
support
of
this,
even
if
it
is
simply
signaling
that
we
are
in
essence
rolling
out
the
red
carpet
for
people
to
invest
in
our
city
to
be
able
to,
you
know,
invest
in
our
downtown
as
we're
going
through
this
big
transformation
of
downtowns,
like
every
downtown
across
the
country
is,
and
and
so
I'm
in
support
of
anything
that
does
signal
that
we
are
open.
J
You
know
open
for
business
that
we
want
to
welcome
development
here
and
responsible
development,
and
that
we
are,
you
know
a
customer
service,
oriented
type
of
City,
so
I'm
in
support
of
this.
E
And
I
should
point
out
the
councilman
Wilson
asked
how
we
arrived
at
forty
thousand
and
I
explained
that
that's
the
number
necessary
to
ensure
that
we
don't
move
out
of
alignment
with
the
budgetary
projections,
but
that
number
was
also
arrived
at
in
consultation
with
the
organizations
representing
folks
who
do
Real
Estate
development
construction,
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
all
of
whom
have
been
supportive
of
this
resolution.
To
this
question.
J
And
then
my
last
note
is
you
know:
I
saw
the
the
press
release
that
came
out
when
this
was
announced
and
I
think
there
was
some
confusion
that
it
wasn't
in
effect,
until
Council
actually
takes
action
and
so
they're.
You
know
this,
it
cannot
take
effect.
The
fee
schedule
has
to
be
approved
by
Council
and
so
I
I
want
to
make
sure
the
council
is
indeed
you
know
part
of
the
discussion
at
the
table,
and
this
is
happening.
K
C
E
Yeah
yeah
once
again,
it
would
only
affect
like.
E
J
C
E
There
would
be
no
impact
of
this
change.
This
only
impacts
large
scale
projects
that
are
large
enough.
That
would
otherwise
have
triggered
a
forty
thousand
dollar
fee
or
more
but
yeah
any
and
any
I
don't
know
that
we
actually
had
any
one
run
all
the
way
through
the
process.
The
point
of
payment
this
year
for
a
project
where
this
is
actually
would
be
triggered.
So
there's
not
anything
to
worry
about
in
terms
of
a
retroactive
adjustment.
L
You
for
working
with
us
and
working
with
Council
on
this
I
did
hold
it
for
a
week
and
gave
Council
the
opportunity
to
address
the
issues
and
concerns,
and
you
and
I
had
some
conversations.
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
aware
that
you
were
willing
to
work
with
us
and
made
sure
that
it
came
through
to
council
for
a
vote.
So
thank
you
for
that.
L
For
me
on
my
side
of
town,
you
know
my
concerns
have
always
been
I
feel
like
there's
tap
and
fees
for
pwsa
that
are
high
and
we
hide
behind
the
puc
for
the
cost
of
the
tap
and
fees,
and
we
have
smaller
businesses
that
are
that
struggle
and
I
do
want
to
say.
Councilwoman
strasberger
was
helpful
in
working
with
pwsa
on
those
issues,
and
so
were
you
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that.
L
But
I
do
think
that
in
my
side
of
town
we
need
development.
Any
kind
of
deterrent
is
the
last
thing
we
need
on
our
side.
So
I
had
talked
to
you
about
I'm,
going
to
do
some
type
of
incentive.
For
my
side
of
town
and
if
councilman
colgill
wants
to
do
something
first,
but
in
the
East
End
they're
overwhelmed
with
development
and
our
side
of
town,
we're
begging
for
just
some
stability
to
help
stabilize
our
neighbors.
We
don't
want
to
overcrowd
our
neighborhoods.
L
We
don't
want
the
same
issues
and
problems
that
they're
having
in
the
East
End,
so
I'd
like
to
work
with
you
on
coming
up
with
some
sort
of
strike,
some
sort
of
a
balance
where
there
is
some
incentives
to
develop
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
Pittsburgh
that
do
need
development
and
are
eager
for
it,
and
we
do
have
some
great
development
happening
in
ferrywood.
That
was
in
conjunction
with
the
community
in
the
uras
I
want
to
thank
David
Geiger.
For
that
he's
he's
been
really
great
working
with
him
and
I.
L
Don't
say
that
often
about
anybody.
So
that's
pretty
good,
so
anyways
so
but
I,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
talk
about
incentives
and
the
entire
package
of
what
it
cost
to
develop
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
the
reality
of
not
developing
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
and
not
in
incentivizing.
L
Some
developments
I'm
not
saying
that
somebody
has
to
have
huge
developments
and
horrible
things
happening,
but
I
think
sometimes
we,
the
community
when
they
come
out
there
may
be
20
40
people
and
we
listen
to
24
40
people
versus
400
who
may
want
it
who
never
came
out
and
so
I
think
that
we've
got
to
try
to
find
some
kind
of
balance
with
all
this.
With
all
the
developments
I
don't
want
to
see.
E
Sure,
if
I
just
briefly
I
know,
this
doesn't
completely
speak
to
all
the
items
you
mentioned
there,
but
as
it
relates
to
these
fees.
Just
to
reiterate
a
point
I
made
earlier
that
I
think
was
before
you
walked
in
under
the
the
fee
schedule
that
Council
adopted
last
year-
and
that
is
this-
is
not
being
changed
here.
Projects
of
the
total
value
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
or
less,
which
are
make
up
70
of
the
applications
we
get.
E
The
vast
majority
of
what
comes
in
should
actually
see
their
fees
reduced
by
this
new
fee
schedule
by
moving
to
a
project
value
based
model
for
assessing
fees,
so
I
think
for
for
most
most
applications.
Again,
that's
not
large-scale
prod
project,
but
for
most
applications
that
come
in
from
all
of
your
constituents.
This
is
actually
a
bit
of
relief
in
terms
of
the
cost
and
then
for
projects
between
50
and
a
thousand
and
a
million
dollars.
It
depends
on
exactly
what
it
is
that
they're
proposing
and
its
value.
E
So
there
are
ways
in
which
I
think
this
fee
schedule
can
encourage
development
that
that
small
and
medium
scale
I
mean
and-
and
it's
certainly
not
a
barrier
to
development
at
the
larger
scale,
where
the
values
make
it
possible
to
pay
a
higher
fee,
especially
now
with
this
agreed
to
cap
in
place.
E
So
I
I
think
that
this
overall,
as
it
relates
to
the
cost
of
Permitting,
is
conducive
and
supportive
of
encouraging
further
development,
while
also
making
sure
that
we
can
do
the
zoning
reviews
and
building
permit
reviews
necessary
to
ensure
the
buildings
are
safe
and
that
they're
not
infringing
on
neighboring
properties.
Beyond
that.
Yes,
there
are
a
lot
of
conversations
to
be
had
about
other
ways
to
incentivize.
E
You
know:
construction
activity
and
Development
Across
the
city
in
particular,
I
think
in
in
the
neighborhood
south
of
the
river,
where
it's
no
question
that
that's
been
slower
in
coming
so
happy
to
have
those
conversations.
Thank.
I
It's
had
some
more
detailed
questions
about
this.
The
way
it's
laid
out
because
there's
no
other
fee
I'm
not
going
to
feed
schedule
now,
there's
no
other
fee
like
this.
How
do
you
mean
yeah?
So
when
you
look
at
in
the
fee
description,
it
just
says
a
minimum,
a
maximum
but
doesn't
specify,
like
you
said,
three
percent
four
percent.
E
It's
it's,
it
is
like.
I
J
C
I
E
I'm
not
looking
at
the
version
of
it
that
you're
looking
at
so
I'm
I'm,
not
entirely
certain
I
can
tell
you
that
there
is
a
residential
and
a
commercial
fee.
They
are
based
on
total
project
failure,
correct
it's
it's
one
dollar
per
thousand
dollars
in
value
for
residential
and
three
dollars
per
thousand
dollars
in
value
for
commercial
and
we've
instituted
the
cap.
One.
I
E
H
Thank
you
welcome
good
to
see
you
first
I
want
to
say
I'll
just
give
you
an
example
on
a
smaller
scale,
with
me
as
a
contractor,
and
to
what
councilwoman
strasberger
said,
this
is
kind
of
just
builds
off
of
that
as
far
as
customer
friendly
sure.
H
I
know
not
all
development
is
good
development,
but
you
know
we
certainly
want
to
make
it
easy
for
them
to
build
here.
You
know
for
the
projects
that
we
support,
but
there
are
municipalities
in
and
around
me,
I
work
in
one
municipality
just
raise
the
permit
fee
from
an
average
cost
of
seventy
dollars
to
three
hundred
and
seventy
dollars.
H
H
We
don't
want
to
have
to
worry
about
the
exorbitant
fees
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
where
we
park,
we
don't
so
so
I
do
believe
on
a
bigger
scale,
with
development
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
If
we
make
it
hard
for
them,
then
they're
less
likely
to
build
or
to
want
to
build
in
Pittsburgh.
So
so
I
really
think
the
cap
was
a
great
idea.
I
thought
the
initial
fees
that
came
out
were
like
off
the
charts.
H
I
thought:
oh,
my
gosh
we're
going
to
drive
people
away,
but
I
think
the
most
important
thing
is
not
so
much
the
fees.
I'm
fine.
With
the
new
structure
to
me,
it
seems,
like
the
developers
are
fine
right,
yep.
So,
more
importantly,
it's
it's
the
process
expedient
process.
For
me,
you
know
when
I
get
I
have
to
get
permits
in
other
boroughs,
I
love
the
idea
where
I
just
come
in
I,
write
a
check
and
I'm
out
the
door.
H
It's
just
simple
for
me,
I'd
like
to
see
our
departments
and
and
I
know,
Sarah
kinter
does
the
best
job.
She
came
with
the
resources
she
has
and
everybody
else
that's
involved
in
the
fees
and
permitting.
But
I
would
like
to
see
that
streamlined,
where
it's
just
easier
for
people
and
I
know
one
stop
PG,
that's
you
know
we
were
forced
to
learn
it
really
because
there
is
no
I,
don't
believe
we
have
a
desk
which
we
can
come
down
and
yes,
please
sure
so.
E
There
are
several
things
I'd
like
to
speak
to
and
what
you're
saying
one
completely
agree
with
you
about
improving
the
sort
of
customer
service
dimension
of
our
work
here,
given
the
the
size
and
the
volume
of
applications,
we're
probably
not
able
to
provide
equivalent
service
to
you
know
some
smaller
municipalities
that
just
see
fewer
permits
to
review,
but
we've
been
instituting
and
continue
to
Institute
service
level
agreements,
where
we
give
the
customer
a
clear
expectation
of
the
number
of
days
that
can
elapse
between
when
they
submit
their
application
and
when
they
get
their
response,
we've
improved
the
way
in
which
we
document
requested
changes
all
with
an
eye
toward
being
more
consistent
and
transparent
and
giving
folks
a
sense
of
you
know,
clarity
about
what
they
need
to
do.
E
We
do
not
presently
have
an
in-person
desk
that
was
closed
during
covid
and
was
not
reopened
has
not
reopened
primarily
because
of
conditions
inside
200,
Ross
Street,
where
that
counter
counter
existed
and
we're
not
able
to
occupy
that
building.
At
this
time
a
we
have
let
the
construction
contracts
for
the
final
build
out
of
412
Boulevard
of
the
Allies
for
the
city's
floors
of
that
building.
E
That
will
be
on
the
first
floor
of
the
building,
and
so
once
again,
people
will
be
able
to
come
in
in
person
to
submit
applications
for
permits
and
in
some
in
some
instances,
get
a
permit
same
day.
Effort
for
the
simplest
of
applications.
E
We
are
also
we
have
invested
in
this
budget
in
increasing
Staffing
in
both
pli
and
planning,
in
particular,
I'm,
not
sure
if
we
added
anybody
in
Domi
in
this
particular
portion.
J
E
Staff
that
counter,
when
it
comes
online
and
to
increase
the
speed
and
consistency
of
reviews
and
we're
working
towards
a
unified
system
where
actually
all
of
the
folks
at
the
counter
will
be
pli
employees
doing
the
intake
of
every
application
type.
So
you
won't
have
to
go
to
this
part
of
the
desk
for
the
zoning
review
and
then
this
part
of
the
desk
for
the
building
review.
E
To
another
part
of
the
desk
for
the
for
another
form
of
review,
there'll
be
one
person
to
intake
all
of
your
information
train
to
know
everything
you'll
need
to
submit,
and
then
different
Personnel
in
different
departments
will
review
pieces
of
that
application
as
needed,
based
on
what
you
applied
for.
But
all
of
this
is
designed
to
simplify
the
process.
At
the
same
time,
we're
also
investing
and
Council
has
approve
the
funding
for
this
in
improvements
to
the
online
version
of
one
stop
to
make
it
more
customer
and
user
friendly
good.

L
They
think
they're
in
Crafton
or
Robinson
or
something,
but
the
edge
of
Thornburg
bridge
is
actually
they're.
It's
actually
all
still
in
District
too,
and
you
cross
over
and
it's
not
so
it's
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
so
I
just
want
to
say,
ferrywood's
been
home
to
a
lot
of
great
things.
They
have
two
warehouses
for
Giant
Eagle
they're,
getting
ready
to
have
ridc
parked
there
and
building
for
the
first
time.
L
This
is
a
project,
it
will
be
new
new,
affordable
housing
and
the
community
is
so
excited
about
it,
but
because
of
all
those
projects
happening
in
ferrywood,
the
one
thing
I
asked
the
URI
was
to
please
give
something
back
to
the
community
because
they
have,
even
though
the
development's
going
to
bring
some
different
things
and
some
other
stuff
they're
going
to
have
with
infrastructure.
I
wanted
something
that
the
community
actually
picked
and
worked
on.
L
They
have
had
a
poll,
that's
been
closed
down
there
since
before
I
was
elected
and
it's
it's
just
been
sitting
there
at
one
point:
the
Ura
you
weren't
on
it
was
going
to
sell
the
housing
authority
and
then
they're
going
to
allow
Emerald
Gardens
to
swim
there.
But
not
a
lot
of
the
people
from
Ferry
would
just
swim.
There
I'm,
like
oh
hell,
no
you're,
not
so
we
stopped
that
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
helped
me
do
that
too.
L
But
in
the
meantime
the
residents
have
been
sitting
here.
We
are
waiting
for
something,
so
this
is
a
great
time
for
the
residents.
I
just
want
to
thank
every
sorry
that
took
me
so
long
to
describe
all
this.
But
if
you
remember
this
is
the
area
that
was
flooded
and
the
people
felt
pushed
out
of
the
community
and
the
the
residents
that
were
left
behind,
felt,
really
forgotten
and
neglected,
so
they're
going
to
finally
get
some
things
that
they
care
about,
that
they
want
to
see.
So
thank
you
to
the
Ura.

building
out
the
health
and
wellness
routines
for
older
adults
who
attend
our
health,
healthy,
active
living
centers.
They
also
get
coaching
from
pitt
physical
therapists
on
a
movement
specifically
and
get
to
track
that
progress
over
a
length
of
time.
The
participants
also
do
get
an
incentive
to
participate.
M
It's
something
that's
come
to
us
with
our
partnership
with
the
county
as
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
we're
both
sort
of
working
in
it
with
the
university
on
the
expertise
that
they
can
bring
to
our
our
seniors,
and
you
know
for
us,
it's
probably
one
of
the
more
substantial
ways
that
we'll
be
able
to
support
Mobility,
specifically
around
making
sure
that
older
adults
can
stay
happy
and
healthy
in
their
homes.
Longer
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
I
think
are
really
interesting
about
this.
M
Is
that
we'll
also
be
able
to
work
with
those
folks
from
pitt
on
building
out
custom
things
that
they're
seeing
across
our
centers?
There
might
be
different
needs
in
different
communities
and
we're
hoping
and
we're
planning
on
having
all
of
our
our
centers
participate
in
this
there's
a
lot
of
interest
too.
People
are
really
excited
about
it.
It's.
J
M
J
M
M
M
L
M
Didn't
list
them
on
here
the
focal
point
centers
are
Homewood
South,
Side,
Market
house
Sheridan
and
Brighton
Heights
Sheridan
Homewood
to.
L
L
M
Oh,
and
the
other
thing
we
do
is
our
focal
points
are
like
the
center
point
amongst
a
number
of
different
centers,
and
we
bring
participants
from
other
centers
to
their
focal
point.
If
there's
an
activity
that
they
want
to
participate
in,
we
do
arrange
for
that.
L
Transportation,
that's
good
and
then
the
one
thing
you
and
I
are
going
to
meet
about
I
want
the
public
to
know
is
that
they
saw
the
list
of
all
the
feeding
programs
and
saw
absolutely
not
one
in
the
West
End
or
District
Two
And.
So
you
and
I
are
going
to
meet
about
that
and
I'm
hoping
that
we'll
get
something
in
place
there,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
whatever
you're
doing
or.
C
L
Department
going
forward
that
they
always
include
the
Southwest
Pittsburgh
in
that
equation
and
not
Southwest
as
if
it's
one
but
South
and
West,
so
that
that
way,
you're
reaching
people
that
you
know
can't
always
get
to
like.
We
have
a
lot
of
things
in
Banksville
and
that's
because
there's
a
church
in
Banksville
that
does
it
all
for
the
community.
We
don't
have
to
do
much
up
there.
L
Unfortunately,
they
don't
rely
on
us
at
all,
I
mean
fortunately
and
unfortunate,
but
at
the
same
time
we
don't
have
people
that
can
get
to
those
programs,
and
so
I
really
want
to
make
sure
whatever
we're
doing
we're
doing
all
across.
You
know
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
at
least
in
sectors,
north
south,
east,
west
and
Central,
and
then,
if,
if
you
look
at
the
map-
and
you
didn't
have
something
in
that
area,
you
need
to
sit
back
down
and
refigure
it
and
figure
out
something
and
for
some
way,
I
need
to
help.
L
M
You
and
I
just
want
to
also
be
clear
that
the
list
is
not
up
of
our
partner
sites.
The
way
that
our
summer
food
program
works
is
in
partnership
with
Community
organizations
where
we
actually
sponsor
all
of
the
heavy
lifting
for
those
organizations
to
have
food
present.
So
we
typically
have
anywhere
between
40
to
50
organizations
across
the
city,
and
we
do
have
four
currently
in
your
District.
But
we
are
still.
L
M
And
and
just
to
say
so,
the
public
can
know
we
are
still
taking
applications,
which
is
why
that
list
isn't
printed
yet
because
we
do
work
with
a
number
of
organizations
to
get
as
many
sites
available
anywhere
in
the
city.
If
an
organization
can
help
us
sponsor
and
host
a
location
where
we
don't
have
a
building,
we
will
we
will
work
with
them
and.
L
C
L
M
Okay,
yeah
and
you
know
that
the
confusion.
M
Confusion
ever
or
never
taken
off
the
list,
but
we
do
have
to
update
it
for
all
the
partners
to
make
sure
that
if
the
Carnegie
Library
was
a
partner
last
year,
can
they
be
a
partner
this
year?
So
our
our
food
supervisor,
Carly
Walker,
does
Edmund
does
an
awesome
job.
She.
L
L
M
Yeah,
absolutely
yes,
like
I
said
we
only
have
have
you
know,
I
think
nine
centers.
You
know
that
we're
that
we
serve
food
from,
but
we
work
with
40
to
50
Partners
to
get
food.
L
Out
so
I'm
going
to
say,
Christy
Porter
we're
having
a
lot
of
problems
with
some
kids
in
Sheridan
there's
been
about
30
kids
I've
sent
videos
to
the
administration
where
kids
are
on
top
of
rooftops
of
garages,
doing
some
kind
of
battles
pointing
guns
at
like
10
year
old,
kids
in
the
street.
It's
all
videos
all
photographed,
everything's,
documented
and
I've
been
sending
that
to
people,
but
I
said
Chris
I
talked
to
Christy
Porter
and
she
said
that
they're
willing
to
do
a
program
there
also,
and
they
also
need
a
feeding
program.
Oh.
L
A
Thank
you,
who'd
I
see
next
councilman
Wilson.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you
director.
This.
This
program
pays
each
site,
a
thousand
dollars
or
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
yeah
other
site,
yeah
who's
who's,
paying
that
a.
M
Pit
for
letting
us
you
know
have
them
in
our
space.
It'll
go
directly
to
the
back
to
the
senior
programs.
We
actually
talked
with
them
about
that,
because
it
also
gives
an
incentive
incentivizes,
the
older
adults
who
participate,
so
they
also
get
something
from
it.
And
you
know
our
thing
was
like:
we
don't
really
need
that.
M
We
just
want
this
for
our
people,
but
it
does
come
from
from
pitt
as
a
part
of
the
of
the
program
in
total
sort
of
for
allowing
us
to
you
know,
have
this
as
an
official
site,
and
they
do
that
for
any
site.
There's
other
healthy
actor
senior
programs
across
the
city
that
are
going
to
be
participating
so.
M
I
M
M
M
It's
my
understanding
that
they're
trying
to
study
what
the
changes
in
Mobility
for
older
adults
over
time
by
having
these
kinds
of
interactions,
Physical
Therapy
interactions
with
older
adults.
I
But
out
of
that,
whatever
they're
studying
it
seems
like
they're
going
to
provide
professional
input
on
how
they
should.
M
It's
it's
like
a
it's
going
to
be
two
things:
an
opportunity
for
our
older
adults
to
directly
kind
of
connect
with
someone
who
is
a
physical
therapist
on
their
Mobility
needs
and
tracking
that
progress,
and
then
it's
also
going
to
have
things
that
they
would
do
as
a
collective
group
together.
M
H
You
welcome
director,
you
know
when
you
were
talking
about
the
focal
points.
I
did
hear
Northeast
and
west,
but
I
didn't
hear
a
South.
Is
there
a
Southern?
Yes,.
H
I
want
to
tell
you
what
a
great
job
you
do
with
the
centers.
You
know
the
people
you
have
their
will
and
g
m
Beachview
and
I
could
go
on
and
on.
You
know,
they're
all
so
so
really
good
and
they
all
have
the
right
temperament
and
they
who's.
That
is
that
right,
well,
I'm
not
getting
involved
in
that,
but
so
it's
a
no
but
but
I
I'm,
fully
supported
for
this.
H
This
program,
of
course,
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
thing
and
we
can
get
a
little
bit
back
into
the
coffers
and
help
out
and
whatever
programming
you
decide
to
put
that
money
into
is
great
but
off.
Subject,
I
had
a
gentleman
here
this
morning
from
the
district
talking
about
the
pools
opening
and
first
of
all,
we
never
schedule
a
date
to
open
earlier
than
what
we
do.
We
have.
M
A
date
we
always
we
always
open
the
pools
after
Pittsburgh
Public
gets
out
of
school
because
the
vast
majority
of
lifeguards
are
Pittsburgh
Public
students,
and
we
also
have
18
polls,
and
so
you
know,
Staffing.
All
of
those
polls
is
180
to
200
people,
with
the
majority
of
them
being
in
school
until
I
think
their
last
days
of
16th.
So
we
are
we're
targeting
the
17th
as
our
open
date
for
this
year,
and
there
will
be
a
press
release
going
out
later
on
today
to
make
that
official.
So.
H
M
Yeah
there's
a
press
release
coming
out
today.
I
I
am
comfortable,
saying
that
we
have
gotten
to
15.
H
H
But
no
that's
great.
That's
great
I
also
want
to
compliment
you
on.
You
know
this.
You
getting
involved
with
City
farms
and
the
employees
you
put
on
and
the
work
that
they're
doing
we're
now
almost
halfway
done
with
the
orchard
that
you've
been
to.
So
you
know,
they've
been
fantastic
so
and
that's
really
fighting
in
food
insecurity.
H
It
really
goes
back
to
that.
So
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work.
I
think
you're
doing
a
great
job,
and
thanks
for
being
here,
I
didn't
mean
to
go
off
subject
but
I
just
had
to
you
know
for
my
own
curiosity,.
M
Yeah
no
understood
and
yeah,
we
are
really
excited
to
open
the
polls.
We
do
always
do
it
that
weekend
after
Pittsburgh
public-
and
you
know
that's
and.
