Thank
you.
Our
next
order
of
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
provide
your
neighborhood
for
the
record.
You'll
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
Our
only
registered
speaker
this
morning
is
Naomi
Mullen.
C
School
building
once
was
a
shining
example
of
what
a
City
public
school
could
be.
Instead,
the
Pittsburgh
public
school
board
has
chosen
to
squander
the
building
the
residents
at
the
time
of
the
construction
did
not
want
or
approve
of
anything
budge
a
school
to
exist
there.
We,
the
property
owners,
taxpayers,
voters
and
caretakers
of
our
neighborhood
are
the
real
stakeholders
we
say:
take
it
down
hello,
Pennsylvania
Constitution.
The
purpose
of
government
is
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
people
they
serve.
C
The
Bonaire
Memorial
Green
Bay
is
the
solution
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Bonaire
Community.
Without
that
there
is
nothing
for
governance.
Here
is
the
situation.
One
an
excellent
school
is
closed.
Two,
the
building
has
become
a
threat
in
detrimental
harm.
Three.
It
should
be
condemned
and
sold
to
the
city
for
a
dollar
four.
It
must
be
torn
down
by
parks
and
trees.
Pittsburgh
tax
funds
should
be
used
to
make
it
a
green
space
and
six
the
residents
of
Bonaire
care
for
it.
As
volunteers.
C
C
Should
be
emulated
by
every
firefighter,
he
loves,
sharing
his
knowledge
of
firefighting
and
all
its
many
aspects
to
make
our
firefighters,
safer,
smarter
and
more
efficient
on
fire
ground
Mike
knew
most
of
the
firefighters
on
the
entire
is
for
Bureau
of
Fire
by
their
first
name
and
was
always
approachable
regardless
of
Frank.
If
you
had
a
question,
he
would
stop
what
he
was
doing
to
answer
it.
He
worked
tirelessly
but
also
energetically
his
entire
career.
In
pursuit
of
more
knowledge,
his
legacy
will
serve
our
citizens
and
firefighters
for
years
as
they
come.
C
Mike
was
a
loving
and
compassionate
husband,
father
brother,
relative
friend
and
neighbor
Michael
J
Mullen
lived
a
full
life,
as
his
obituary
so
accurately
describes.
Mike
was
passionate
tireless
dedicated,
highly
conscientious
and
caring
well
done.
Michael
well
done
rest
in
peace.
My
friend
join
our
supporters,
mayor,
Gainey,
councilman,
coghill
and
state
representative
venom
for
the
creation
of
green
space.

In
reducing
the
number
of
shootings
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
then
it
will
probably
by
methodology,
go
across
this
entire
nation
and
what
is
it
that
I'm
really
pointing
at
I'm,
pointing
at
Dan
Quinlan
before
the
captain
of
the
police
force
a
man
with
55
years
of
experience
and
we're
willing
to
go
ahead
and
lay
out
the
plan
with
Tom
Contracting,
the
acting
head
of
the
police
department?
In
order
to
give
an
attempt-
and
we
don't
want
anything
unless
we
succeed
in
reducing
the
number
of
shootings
by
20
percent?
G
E
A
F
My
name
is
Devon
F
Brown
I
live
in
the
Hill
district
at
715,
Mercer
Street
I
was
listening
to
the
news
and
I
became
very
upset,
I
heard
where
Altoona
so
that's
Altoona,
PA,
where
they
made
a
decision
that
their
guards
in
the
schools
will
be
carrying
like
AK-47.
Now
the
submachine
guns
they're
going
to
be
carrying
them
they're
going
to
have
them
in
the
school
now
I
had
said
before,
when
they
were
talking
about
that,
when
my
son
was
living
that
if
they
start
bringing
guns
into
school,
I
would
take
my
son
out.
F
I
will
home
school
because
he
would
be
the
first
one
shot,
because
he
was
very
dark,
very
dark.
The
dark
people
in
city
council.
We
get
treated
differently
from
what
the
like
inflected,
I'm
gonna,
show
you
what
I
mean
you
have
Tim
Stevens,
who
came
down
to
speak
with
the
police.
They
had
all
women
from
different
agencies,
but
Tim
Stevens
spoke
and
as
he
got
to
speaking,
he
says.
Well,
the
police
to
the
police
officer.
I
have
mixed
children.
F
Now
I
became
very
upset
because
Mick's
children,
you
know
he's
like
complected
I,
think
his
wife
or
the
woman
is
a
Mexican,
so
them
children
are
very
life
infected.
My
son
was
dark
darker
than
me.
My
son
died
because
of
the
color
of
his
skin
Tim,
Stevens
and
I
said
it.
Then,
because
he
came
down
and
I
said
Tim
is.
Why
was
it
necessary
for
him
to
say
he
hit
next
children?
Why
was
it
necessary?
Why?
F
Because
what
he's
saying
you're
a
policeman
if
you
run
up
putting
some
light
complexes
Stevens
their
minds,
don't
kill
them,
don't
give
them
a
hard
time,
but
my
son
was
on
the
ground
begging
on
the
floor
begging
for
his
life.
You
just
don't
understand.
Just
some
people
are
saying
one
woman
in
the
building
said.
Would
you
have
these
papers?
I
said
it's
about
my
son.
She
said
that,
but
he's
been
dead
so
long,
forget
it
Bobby
and
I.
Looked
at
her
and
I
said.
Have
you
ever
had
a
child?
She
said
no
and
I
said.
F
Well,
then
you
would
never
understand
what
a
mother
feels.
I
am
a
woman
that
came
down
here
to
fight
for
the
community,
and
my
son
believed
in
coming
down
here.
My
son
would
say:
mommy,
they
can't
stand
you
because
you
tell
the
truth.
Part
of
the
problem
is
that
I
I
speak
loud
and
that's
a
part
of
me.
That's
me
when
I
speak
loud,
but
I
tell
them
the
truth.
A
lot
of
people
don't
want
you
to
speak
loud.
Why
are
you
telling
the
truth?
F
They
want
you
to
whisper
in
the
corner
in
the
back
room
like
him.
Do
and
Miss
Smith
I
wanted
to
see
about.
Moving
back
in
my
house.
Remember
you
had
said
before.
I
was
going
to
get
help.
Then
I
never
did
even
with
the
type
even
with
the
computer.
You
said,
I
would
get
never
did
now.
I
took
and
I'm
trying
to
find
that
information.
They
say
it's
in
Harrisburg,
Miss,
Smith,
Harrisburg
I
can't
find
my
daughter's
trying
to
email
this
woman,
whoever
it
is,
we
can't
get
her
man,
I
came
down
here.
F
H
Morning,
my
name
is
Flora
El,
Shapiro,
Williams
and
I
live
at
715,
Mercer
Street.
The
reason
I'm
here
I
was
down
here.
Talking
about
the
security.
You
would
think
it
would
get
a
little
better
because
it's
been
exposed.
Now
we
have
people
breaking
in
the
laundry
room,
turn
off
the
money
machines
Off
the
Wall.
Now
we
have
to
suffer
because
they're
going
to
close
at
4
30
p.m.
They
used
to
stay
open
all
night.
You
can
wash
all
night
now,
if
you
don't
watch
before
4
30
you're
not
allowed
downstairs.
H
I
need
help,
I
need
someone
and
there's
so
many
people
in
the
building
that
they
let
people
from
the
Western
site
automatically
just
move
in
without
no
one
looking
over
over
them
to
see
what
they're
doing
and
they're
doing
whatever
they
want,
because
they
don't
know
better.
They
know
they
don't
know
better
because
they
bought
them
straight
from
Western
Psych
into
the
building
where
I
live
and
it
is
getting
worse.
You
just
don't
have
a
chance
to
even
walk
around
in
your
building
without
having
fear
of
being
attacked
wrong
or
God
forbid.
H
H
We
should
not
have
to
be
afraid
to
go
and
wash
our
clothes
afraid
to
come
in
from
shopping
that
someone
is
going
to
attack
us
that
we're
going
to
be
attacked
so
I'm
going
to
give
him
my
phone
number
and
anyone
that
feel
the
need
to
help
out
any
way
to
help
me
write
a
petition
to
get
security
in
our
buildings.
My
phone
number
is
area
code,
412.
H
A
I
J
Quite
lengthy
process
of
coordinating
as
councilman
Krauss
knows,
coordinating
with
rpk
expansion
and
our
RPP
process
changed.
If
council
members
will
call
last
year
and
we
changed
that
ordinance
so
we'd
like
to
just
make
sure
we're
taking
our
time
we're
working
with
Domi
we're
working
with
the
parking
authority
and
we're
working
with
the
neighborhood
groups
and
the
residents
to
make
sure
that
we
just
go
through
this.
E
E
Aye
aye
any.
A
Opposed
the
bill
will
be
held
eight
weeks,
Bill
1108
Bill.
B
1108
ordinance
amending
title
2,
Article
5,
chapter
237
Stop,
the
Violence
fund,
section
237.03
uses
and
restrictions
of
the
Stop.
The
Violence
fund
directing
the
mayor's
designee
there
under
the
Office
of
Management
and
budget
and
the
director
of
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
to
utilize
a
reporting
form
approved
by
city
council
to
ensure
proper
and
legal
use
of
said
funds
by
grantees
they're
under
in
accordance
with
ordinance
237
Stop.
The
Violence
fund
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
code.
E
E
E
Ahead
motion
to
hold
first
two
weeks
and
second
and
I
I,
just
want
to
say
briefly
that
I
want
to
thank
Ricky,
Moody,
councilman,
Lavelle,
councilman
Burgess
and
the
mayor's
office
for
all
working
together,
I
think
I
believe
Dan
Friesen
Kim
in
my
office,
Kim
salinetro,
are
all
working
together
to
come
up
with
a
good
reporting
system
for
the
public,
without
preventing
us
from
doing
the
things
that
we
need
to
do.
Thank
you
further.
K
Yeah
I
just
want
to
say
I
I
I
do
support
this.
Obviously
we
want
clear
accounting
when
the
city
is
is
giving
money
to
external
organizations
to
do
work,
but
I
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
would
like
to
see
see
a
formula
for
this
for
all
organizations,
not
just
the
Stop,
the
Violence
fund,
so
I
respond
to
that.
Please
yeah.
E
So,
just
so
you
know
our
budget
director,
our
solicitor
and
our
our
financed
here
and
others
are
working
with
the
administration
on
making
sure
we
have
that
accountability
with
all
the
trust
funds
and
we're
also
working
with
the
controller's
office
too.
So
I
just
want
to
say,
there's
quite
a
few
people
working
on
it.
There's
I
think
87
trust
funds,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
getting
a
handle
on
all
of
them.
This
is
the
one
that's
most
immediate,
that's
being
spent
that
what
they
could
address.
K
C
H
I
B
L
A
G
A
C
I
A
A
E
You
councilman
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
all
this
and
thank
you
to
the
members.
I
think
there's
just
been
a
lot
of
controversy
over
this
bill.
I
mean
it
always
seems
to
be
controversial
when
you
want
to
help
kids
not
be
shot
on
the
streets,
but
I'll
just
say
that
I
want
us
to
vote
this
down,
but
I
don't
want
to
table
because
I
don't
want
to
take
the
chance
of
we.
E
If
we,
the
mayor,
changes
his
mind
or
decides
he
needs
it,
then
we
want
to
make
sure
we
put
it
in
I'm,
going
to
vote
this
down
and
I'm
going
to
introduce
a
new
bill
wave.
The
rules
Council
to
introduce
a
new
bill
and
I
want
to
thank
Dan
Friesen
for
his
tremendous
work.
A
I
Yes,
Mr
chair
motion
to
weight
rules
for
introduction
of
the
new
bill.
Second,
all.
H
E
I
I
E
Second,
second,
thank
you,
councilman
and
so
I
just
again
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
Indulgence.
With
this
this
entire
process.
It's
been
really.
It's
actually
kind
of
sad
to
me,
because
I,
one
of
the
things
I,
think
that
we
were
trying
to
do
is
just
have
a
conversation.
People
think
that
we
introduced
the
curfew
as
was
and
as
is
and
misunderstood,
but
the
intention
was
just:
let's
have
a
conversation.
E
Our
kids
I
want
to
just
be
honest,
the
two
of
the
most
knowledgeable
people
in
this
area
on
violence
prevention
are
Reverend,
Burgess
and
councilman
Lavelle,
and
they
put
together
a
team
that
know
a
lot
too
so
I
just
want
to
thank
them
for
their
work,
on
preventive
preventive
measures
and
there's
a
lot
of
preventive
measures
in
place.
But
what's
happening
is
every
day
there's
a
shooting
in
the
in
this
region.
E
Every
single
day
instance
with
police
officers
are
not
something
people
want,
but
they
also
that
doesn't
happen
as
frequent
as
I,
don't
believe
or
there's
no
reporting
of
it
that
it
happens
every
day
in
the
way
that
the
violence
is
happening
and
it's
not
every
day.
There's
not
a
kid
either
fighting
for
their
life
or
an
innocent
bystander
hit
by
bullets.
E
Our
families
are
asking
for
something
immediate
they're
asking
for
intervention,
not
prevent
not
necessarily
just
prevention.
They
want
an
intervention
right
now.
They
want
something
to
stop
and
I.
Think
that
the
mayor
thinks
that
you
know
and
I
could
came
together,
and
we
agreed
on
at
least
the
centers
could
be
part
of
that
solution
and
I
think
it's
a
conversation
that
has
to
continue,
but
our
kids
don't
have
time
for
us
to
discuss
this
forever.
Our
families
don't
want
to
hear
that
we
it's
going
to
take
years
before
we
change
a
culture.
E
They
want
to
know
what
we're
doing
today
to
stop
their
kids
from
being
shot
and
from
having
to
worry
about
their
families
and
their
loved
ones,
and
not
even
just
the
families
that
are
being
shot,
but
the
people
whose
kids
are
doing
the
shootings.
It's
like
families
are
affected
on
both
sides
and
losing
loved
ones
to
this
violence
across
the
city.
E
We're
losing-
and
we
keep
saying
the
only
way
to
bring
kids
to
a
different
place-
is
to
employ
kids
and
put
a
paycheck
in
their
hands,
but
we're
also
pushing
businesses
out
of
the
city
that
our
kids
are.
Probably
gonna
have
to
go
to
Cranberry
to
get
a
job.
We
keep
it
up,
and
so
I'm
just
saying:
there's
a
lot
going
on
here
and
a
lot
of
discussions
and
a
lot
of
people
who
say
they're
experts
in
this
area
and
a
lot
of
people
we've
been
listening
to
for
a
long
time.
E
But
this
the
violence
is
increasing,
the
shootings
are
continuing
and
I
think
the
for
us.
The
bottom
line
is:
what
can
we
do
and
I
thought?
Maybe
just
get
a
curfew,
get
the
kids
off
the
street
into
a
safer
Place.
Give
them
a
safe
place
to
go.
I
didn't
ever
think
how
we
would
enforce
it,
but
I
think
part
of
the
enforcement
could
be
if
we
ever
decide
to
revisit
that.
I
just
want
to
say
we
could
come
up
with
safety,
shuttles
and
kids
can
voluntarily
go.
We
can
come
up
with.
E
You
know
work
with
the
chill
mobile
and
Ahn
to
do
some
things
to
make
sure
that
we
have
kids.
You
know
voluntarily
going
to
these
centers,
but
the
real
problem
I
that
I
think
are
the
kids
that
are
doing
the
shootings,
which
is
a
small
percentage,
I,
think
that
they
aren't
going
to
voluntarily
go
to
a
center,
and
so
I
think
you
need
somebody
like
an
Outreach
worker
or
somebody
who's
going
to
be
able
to
work
and
reach
the
kids
and
and
get
them
into
the
centers
I.
E
Do
not
think
that
I
and
I
also
think
I
have
to
talk
to
some
of
the
kids.
Sometimes
we
can
be
used
for
the
Escape
they're,
not
going
to
say,
hey
I
can't
go
shoot
that
kid
tomorrow
to
the
people,
tell
them
to
go
shoot
somebody,
because
I
have
to
go
to
the
I,
decide
to
go
to
a
resource
center
and
I'm
going
to
go
back
in
the
community
tomorrow
and
everything's
gonna
be
fine
with
the
community.
We
all
know
that
they're
going
to
be
at
risk
if
they
do
something
like
that.
E
But
I
do
think
that
this
piece
right
here
is
really
important
and
I
we're
going
to
put
a
committee
together,
the
mayor
and
I
we're
going
to
work
together
on
this,
because
we
understand
that
it's
important
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
for
us
to
collaborate
and
want
to
work
together
to
do
things
that
are
preventive
down
the
road.
But
I
think
we
also
immediately
need
some
type
of
intervention,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
I
think
the
committee
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
that
should
be
what
it
could
be.
E
What
it
would
look
like,
but
I
think
this
right
now,
they're
charged
with
just
coming
up
with
Resource,
Centers
and
I.
Think
for
to
I
can
tell
you,
as
somebody
who
worked
with
parents
for
Pittsburgh,
Public
Schools
running
parent
Resource,
Centers
I.
Can
tell
you
that
there's
a
lot
of
need
out
there
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
need
help,
and
you
know
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
know
how
to
do
it,
but
their
parents
need
help
and
there's
not
what
people
don't
understand.
E
They
need
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
things
privately,
but
I
know
people
who've
gone
through
the
system
and
have
been
really
had
suffered
a
lot.
So
the
I
think
there's
a
lot
larger
conversation
I
think
these
centers
can
also
help
serve.
Parents
foster
parents,
children,
obviously
children.
We
really
want
to
get
them
there,
but
we
really
want
to
get
the
parents
there
as
well
and
I.
E
She
really
set
the
bar
high
and
things
that
they
can
that
they
can
do
and
expectations
high,
but
she
also
knew
how
to
provide
a
lot
of
services.
So
I
think
that's
what
we
need
to.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
there's
a
place.
People
go
when
they're
off
work.
You
know
when
times
are
convenient
for
them
and
a
safe
place
for
kids
to
be
when
they
don't
want
to
be
in
that
abusive
home
when
they
don't
want
to
be
on
the
streets
but
they're
afraid
to
go
home.
Sometimes
so.
E
K
Yeah
I
just
well
first
I
did
want
to
formally
request
to
to
be
on
the
committee
as
well
and
I
I
want
to
thank
you,
council
president,
for
you
know,
we've
had
very
candid
discussions
about
this
and
I
appreciate
that
you
know,
and-
and
you
know
we
all
we
all
are-
have
have
the
welfare
of
our
youth
in
mind.
I
would
say
as
well.
You
know
when
it
comes
to
to
to
these
Solutions
in
these
committees.
I
I,
just
I
I,
want
to
stress
again
that
you
know
we
are
we.
K
We
have
made
a
significant
investment
in
stop
the
violence
fund
and
working
with
Community
groups
who
are
on
the
ground
dealing
with
these
situations,
and
so
I
think
that
it's
critical
that
those
groups
be
heavily
involved
in
in
these
these
Solutions
right
of
creating,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
when
it
comes
to
getting
the
kids
into
right,
whatever
those
centers
may
look
like
whatever
those
places
are,
it's
the
the
adults
living
and
working
in
the
communities
that
are
going
to
be
the
ones
who
are
going
to
be
able
to
do
that
so
yeah,
but
at
any
rate,
I
I
think
this
is
a
good
idea
and
it
would
be
nice
to
get
this
plan
in
place.
D
You
Mr
chair
first
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
applaud
your
efforts.
I
really
do
you
know
it's
first
tangible
thing,
I've
seen
in
front
of
us
that
could
make
a
difference
and
I
want.
To
reiterate.
You
know
your
your
intention
of
this.
We
spoke
for
45
minutes
the
night
before
you
turned
this
bill
in
okay,
the
original
Bill,
and
not
one
time
in
that
conversation
was
brought
up.
Oh
the
police
will
have
to
remove
them
from
the
street
and
bring
them
to
the
Detention
Center.
D
That
was
never
part
of
your
plan.
You
know,
we've
always
figured
it
was
going
to
be
whether
it
be
to
stop
the
violence,
folks
or
somebody
or
hopefully
voluntarily.
Some
of
these
kids,
you
know,
will
will
come
into
the
office.
So
so
I
just
want
to
applaud
your
efforts.
You
know
I
hate,
to
see
your
intention
be
stretched
to
the
point
where
people
were
saying.
You
know
just
kind
of
not
representing
it
as
as
what
it
was
so
I'd
like
to
also
be
a
co-sponsor
in
the
new
bill.
D
If
I
could
and
again
I
I
applaud
your
efforts
and
I
think
it's
a
great
idea,
I
actually
even
have
a
place
identified.
That
I
think
will
be
perfect
in
my
neighborhood
for
such
a
thing,
so
as
a
gym
as
a
basketball
court,
you
know
so
give
these
kids
activities
and
something
to
do
so.
So
so,
thanks
again
appreciate
it
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
the
administration.
M
E
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
know
people
can
spin
things.
That's
part
of
the
job.
That's
part
of
the
politics
part
of
what
we
sign
up
for,
but
I
am
thankful
that
yesterday
I
went
to
a
meeting
in
the
community
and
all
through
this
whole
process.
The
community
has
called
and
thanked
me
for
doing
something
for
having
this
conversation
and
they're
happy
that
the
mayor
is
also
agreeable
to
these
centers.
E
They
like
the
idea
of
the
center
a
lot
of
people
do,
but
people
do
want
sometimes
a
way
to
understand
how
they
can
get
their
kids.
They
want
to
protect
their
kids
too.
A
lot
of
people
want
to
protect
their
kids,
it's
not
just,
but
it's
not
just
parents,
it's
across
the
board.
There's
people
calling
out
for
some
type
of
prevention
and
intervention.
It
prevention
is
great,
and
these
programs
that
we
that
you
guys
have
put
in
place
I
think
they
are
going
to
make
a
difference.
E
I
think
they
started
to
make
a
difference,
but
there's
a
couple
things:
one
police
are
not
going
to
not
be
part
of
the
equation
somewhere
along
the
line.
There
are
some
kids
that
are
going
to
need
some
help.
I
think
there
are
some
people
that
want
to
open,
there's
talk
about
opening,
Schumann
Center
and
on
the
county
level
that
they
want
open
something,
so
the
kids
aren't
going
to
jail,
but
I
want
to
get
kids
so
they're,
never
getting
a
criminal
record
in
the
first
place.
E
So
if
we
can
stop
and
help
kids
with
prevention
and
preventative
programs,
programs
and
interventions
first,
let's
do
that
before
they
get
to
a
point
where
they
have
a
darn
record.
Everybody
assumes
kids
are
going
to
have
a
record
and
get
a
record
that
doesn't
have
to
be
their
life
and
I
want
the
kids
to
know
that
and
I'm
fortunate
enough
to
know
that
a
lot
of
the
kids
call
me
Mom
in
the
community.
E
As
you
know,
and
so
they've
called
me,
they've
told
me
some
stuff,
so
I
think
that
I'm
comfortable
with
where
I
am
with
all
this
and
with
the
community,
especially
I,
know
what
the
community
is
saying
and
I
know
what
other
people
are
saying
and
I
do
think
that
there's
there's
some
reason
for
concern
for
some
of
the
stuff
that
you
know
and
I
think
that
the
way
that
the
law
was
written,
it
is,
if
we
ever
do,
do
a
curfew.
It's
going
to
have
to
be
Rewritten
because
it
was
written
in
1995..
E
Policing
has
changed
since
1995.,
so
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
have
changed
since
then,
but
mostly
the
conversation
has
to
be.
What
are
we
doing
today
to
stop
the
violence
on
this
in
the
streets
of
Pittsburgh?
What
are
we
doing
to
help
our
kids
get
on
the
track
where
they
never
have
to
make
a
mistake
or
make
a
decision
that
they
that
puts
their
lives
in
in
danger
or
their
families?
E
As
one
of
the
kids
said
to
me
one
day,
it's
easy
for
everybody
to
sit
around
this
table
and
talk,
but
you're
not
looking
over
the
shoulder
waiting
for
somebody
to
see
if
somebody's
going
to
shoot
you
or
your
family
and
that's
real,
to
walk
down
the
street
and
have
to
worry
about
that.
That's
real
and
you
know,
we've
all
been
affected
by
violence.
People
that
we
love
and
care
about
have
been
shot
and
killed
or
involved
in
something
or
have
been
the
shooter
years.
E
My
future
daughter-in-law
just
called
me
the
other
day.
She
taught
the
kid
that
was
involved
in
the
shooting,
the
in
one
of
the
shootings
I'll
just
say
this.
He
was
involved
in
one
of
the
shootings
that
happened
recently
and
she
said
she
remembers
back
when
he
was
10
years
old,
going
into
a
classroom
and
pretending
he
was
shooting
kids
in
the
classroom
at
10.,
and
yet
somebody
failed
him.
A
lot
of
people
failed
him
throughout
all
those
years
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
groups
involved
in
a
lot
of
people
and
I.
E
D
Thank
you
all
right,
I
just
want
to
say
you
know
the
direction
in
which
we're
going
with
this
now
is
the
exact
intent
that
you
portrayed
to
me
the
night
before
you
turned
that
legislation
in
and
I
think
it's
very
important
to
reach
kids
at
a
younger
age,
even
younger
than
teenagers,
to
intervene
and
to
talk
to
them
about
violence
and
I,
know
councilman
Lavelle
and
you
and
and
Reverend
Burgess.
You
know
you've
done
a
lot
of
work
in
this
area
and
I
want
to
continue
to
reach
out
into
the
schools.
A
You
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Any
further
discussion,
if
not
I'll
simply
say
you're,
not
you're
correct.
When
you
say
it
can't
Simply
Be
intervention.
A
There
has
to
be
intervention,
it
has
to
be
prevention
as
well
as
even
punishment
at
times,
unfortunately,
and
we
have
invested
in
all
of
them-
and
this
is
another
way
to
really
have
prevention,
intervention
Works
in
many
respects
on
the
could
be
Shooters,
but
the
prevention,
the
intervention
model
works
on
the
would-be
shooters,
and
so
this
is
consistent
with
the
efforts
that
we've
been
working
on
for
years
now
so
I.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye
in
the
opposed
affirmative
recommendation.

A
E
L
You
thank
you,
council
person,
stroudsburger
and
before
you
I,
passed
around
an
amendment
but
I
realize
this.
Is
you
know
a
new
amendment
that
members
haven't
seen
and
so
I'd
like
to
amend
and
hold
today
so
I
make
the
motion
to.
L
So
actually,
before
we
met
I
can
just
walk
through
a
couple.
Things
I
was
going
to
explain
a
little
bit
afterwards,
but
you
know
the
permanent
issue
comes
up
from
time
to
time,
especially
with
a
new
strategy.
That's
it's
kind
of
been
implemented
a
couple
years
ago.
It
was
kind
of
an
in-house
thing.
We've
learned
about
from
from
DBW
in
the
permitting
office
that
you
know.
L
In
the
past
there
was
organizations
that
had
the
permit
for
basically
whatever
time
they
wanted
to
use
the
field
and,
as
as
different
organizations,
come
up
and
to
try
and
give
new
opportunities
to
to
these
organizations
and
and
also
our
investment
in
the
fields
to
make
them
better.
There's
been
a
an
increased
demand
for
the
for
the
field
time,
and
with
that
there's
been
some
some.
You
know
some
complications
that
I've
I've,
Arisen
and
I
think
in
a
couple
districts,
especially
in
my
district,
not
especially,
but
in
my
district.
L
It's
happened,
which,
which
kind
of
brought
me
to
the
table
here
whenever
the
the
council
president
put
this
bill
on
the
on
the
table,
what
we
talked
about
previously,
but
you
know
this-
is
something
that
I
was
looking
forward
to
working
on
and
we
worked
with
the
the
Department
of
Public
Works,
the
administration
and
also
council
president,
and
is
there
another
department
we
worked
on?
L
It
was
a
DPW,
a
Parks
and
Rec
yeah,
Parks
and
Rec
was
was
there
as
well
and
basically,
there
was
an
in-house
kind
of
you
know:
priority
list
and
we'd
like
to
formalize
that
into
the
official
record,
so
that
we
can
just
all
be
on
the
same
page
with
what's
happening
with
permitting,
and
so
you
can
see
clearly
here
where
first
priorities.
Second
priority.
Third
priority.
L
Fourth
priority,
so
several
different
priorities-
one
is
you
know:
schools,
it's
all
focused
on
you
through
the
top
4,
since
that
is
a
large
type
of
conversation
right
now,
especially
with
the
council
president's
bill
to
form
the
advisory
committee.
So
this
is,
you
know,
I
believe
this
is
an
effort
to
also
just
to
increase
the
amount
of
usage
of
the
fields
that's
dedicated
to
youth
and
then
further
down
the
line.
You'll
see
where
you
know
there
are
adult
leagues
that
can
can
be.
L
E
Well,
I
just
simply
want
to
thank
councilman
Wilson
for
working
on
this
and
Muhammad,
and
his
office
has
been
amazing
and
our
director,
Chris
Weinstein,
has
been
very
helpful,
but
I
do
have
some
concerns
with
some
of
the
things
and
we'll
work
through
those
over
the
week.
E
But
the
reason
we
put
this
forward
I
think
the
bottom
line
is:
we
need
more
fields
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
They
keep
asking
for
an
adult
field,
because
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
place
where
young
people
well,
we
don't
have
to
be
young.
My
husband
still
plays
ball
and
you
know
60.
so
I
think
that
there's
I
think
there's
things
that
we
can
do
to
help
all
people
enjoy
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
I
really
do
think
that
we
need
a
facility
in
other
cities.
E
E
Long
term
is
that
we
need
more
fields
and
we
especially
need
more
fields
for
adults,
because
that's
the
problem
is
a
lot
of
our
kids
sometimes
are
getting
pushed
off
fields
for
adults,
and
but
some
of
those
adults
are
kids
that
are
at
risk
and
are
you
know,
kids
that
do
need
help?
So
you
don't
want
to
see
them
not
have
field
time
too.
E
So
that's
why
I
think
there
has
to
be
some
way
that
we
address
this
a
little
bit
better
and
give
the
director
the
tools
that
he
needs
to
enforce
things
the
way
and
prioritize
things
that
they
way
they
would
like,
but
I
also
I'm,
going
to
keep
the
rest
of
my
comments
to
myself
since
we'll
be
able
to
work
since
we're
going
to
hold
this
and
work
on
it
later.
K
Yeah,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
I
I.
This.
This
priority
system
is
nice
that
putting
the
Youth
Sports
ahead.
That's,
but
and
not
to
be
a
fly
fly
in
the
ointment,
but
just
this
is
the
first
time
I'm
seeing
this
is
just
because
in
my
district
it
jumped
out
that
the
fourth
priority
for
for
youth,
sports
leagues
that
don't
fit
the
previous
criteria
I
just
immediately.
What
jumps
to
mind
are
local
leagues
that
are
neighborhood
specific
and
therefore
historically
have
had
a
fee.
K
You
know
sort
of
had
priority
over
a
few.
You
know,
for
example,
you
know
Greenfield
baseball.
They
have
Bud
Hammer
field
right,
they're,
not
a
and
and
if,
if
somehow,
City
Sports
suddenly
took
priority
over
the
GBA
at
Bud
hammer
or
took
priority
over
the
Hazelwood
cobras
at
bergwen,
that
would
be
be.
A
problem
for
a
team
would
be
a
big
headache
for
me.
K
A
Wants
to
go
back
in
the
second
round,
anyone
else
first
round,
if
the
second
round-
okay-
if
not-
and
we
we
don't-
have
to
do
it
here-
councilman
Wilson,
but
I
do
have
upon
this
initial
review
of
it.
I
do
have
questions
and
some
concerns
with
it.
But
I
can
ask
him
here.
We
can
just
meet
offline.
Second
round
council
president
yeah.
E
I
just
want
to
say
count
to
councilwoman
Warwick
I,
absolutely
agree
with
this,
so
I'm
going
to
write
this
day
down.
We
agree
100
on
this
one,
because
that's
why
I
actually
put
this
in
place.
So
I
am
going
to
move
that
on
there
there's
a
it's
great
to
put
our
Public
Schools
as
a
priority,
and
we
do
work
with
our
Public
Schools.
E
But
when
you
look
at
the
number
of
kids
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
now
not
attending
Pittsburgh
Public,
it's
probably
higher
than
the
kids
attending
Pittsburgh
Public,
because
there's
a
lot
of
kids
that
attend
Charter,
Schools,
Christian
Schools,
just
all
different
types
of
school
I
mean
homeschooled
everything
and
so
I
think
we
had
44
000
kids
in
the
city.
I
honestly,
don't
know
the
number
now
that
was
a
couple
years
ago,
I
checked
and
only
22
000
attend
Pittsburgh
public
or
less
than
22
000.
attend
Pittsburgh,
Public
I
believe
so.
E
I
want
to
make
them
a
priority,
but
I
want
to
also
make
sure
we're
not
pushing
people
off
the
fields
that
might
not
attend
Pittsburgh
public,
but
yet
are
part
of
a
league.
That's
been
around
forever
and
this
all
started
with
the
dynamos
bringing
stuff
to
our
attention
too.
But
then
it
was
councilman.
Wilson
had
a
concern
with
something
in
his
district
and
then
I
had
something
in
Elliott
Athletic
Association.
There
was
a
lot
of
different
Westwood
Oakwood.
There
was
a
lot
of
people
bringing
concerns
to
our
attention
and
so
we're
like.
E
Okay,
these
people
are
keeping
our
kids
off
the
field,
all
the
time
on
off
the
streets
and
on
fields
into
something
productive
all
the
time
and
we
should
be
making
their
job
easier,
not
more
difficult.
So,
with
that
said,
I
think
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
blend
in
the
Pittsburgh
Public
importance
the
importance
of
that
and
priority,
but
we're
also
prioritizing
our
local
people.
So
thank
you
for
that.
L
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
the
the
concern
that
you
have
is
the
exact
concern
or
reason
why
I
got
involved
in
in
understanding
how
the
permit
process
is
is
taking
place
and
the
reason
why
we're
working
on
the
bills,
so
that
was
I,
guess
I
hammered
that
point
over
and
over
again
in
our
in
our
discussion,
and
it
was
a
good
conversation,
because
the
whole
conversation
was
focused
on
how
to
make
fuel
permitting
Equitable
for
everyone
and
after
revisiting
it
I'm
not
saying
this
is
solid
plan,
but
it
is
good
to
have
a
a
good
conversation
about.
L
You
know
how
everyone
can
have
an
opportunity
to
promote
the
field
and
I,
don't
I'm
not
putting
this
on
the
table
to
say
that
this
is
how
it
has
to
be-
and
this
is
perfect
I
want
to
put
this
in
the
Public's
eye
so
that
so
that
we
can
have
this
public
discussion.
Yeah.
K
M
C
K
A
way
to
to
adjust
the
priority
is
to
say
institutions
that
have
field
space
already
on
their.
You
know
like
so,
if
you
have
a
private
school
that
already
has
field
space
on
the
school
grounds
itself
versus
you
know,
schools
or
otherwise
that
are
smaller
and
don't
have.
You
know,
don't
have
any
space.
E
L
A
A
D
Carter,
okay,
thank
you.
No
I
just
feel
the
duty
to
make
sure
that
and
I
do
see
it's
the
the
fifth
priority
for
adult
leagues,
for
our
older
athletes,
my
being
one
of
them
I
have
played
in
you
know,
55
year
old
and
over
a
softball
league
this
year,
but
yeah
I
think
it's
very
important.
D
You
know
a
lot
of
the
people,
my
age
who
still
enjoy
sports.
These
are
the
same
men
and
women
who
are
coaches
and
involved
in
the
athletic
organizations,
and
they
take
a
very,
very
seriously
and
I'm
still
limping
around
from
this
past
season,
but
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
priority
does
include
our
city
residents
I
like
the
idea
of
focusing
on
City
residents,
but
for
the
adult
leagues
as
well.
D
A
L
Any
priority,
yeah
good
question
I
think
that
okay,
that's
something
you
want
to
come,
explain:
yeah
I'll
call
the
DBW,
because
a
lot
of
this
was
you
know,
language
that
we
coordinated
on.
B
M
But
Chris
hornstein,
director
of
Public
Works,
the
fully
completed
athletic
field
and
Court
permit
application.
So
you
know
the
fully
completed
application.
Is
you
know
it's
a
pretty
it's
a
pretty
exhaustive
process.
You
know
we
go
through
several
rounds
where,
folks,
you
know,
request
field
time
share
with
us
their
rosters.
You
know
we
kind
of
validate
those
times
with
them,
so
that's
just
ensuring
that
everybody
that's
participating
in
the
process
and
doing
a
good
job
is
kind
of
fooling
answering
all
the
questions
that
we
ask
during
that
process.
M
Those
Will
Come,
Those
Questions,
will
be
around.
You
know
the
types
of
fields
that
they
want
to
use
any
requested
alternates
if
their
times
are
not
available
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
number
of
participants
they're
serving
and
then
developing
that
roster
with
them.
So
we
can
kind
of
validate
that
the
folks
that
they
have
are
indeed
done.
M
What
we've
seen
in
the
past
is
and
why
we
Institute
that
policy
is
because
you
know
organizations
might
for
lack
of
a
better
term
game
the
system
whereby
they
might
request
time,
for
you
know,
200
Youth,
and
only
you
know.
When
we
go
to
review
the
review
the
activity
it
was
only
100,
youth
were
showing
up
and
because
of
the
you
know,
aforementioned
limitations
that
we
have
with
field
time
and
requests.
You
know
every
hour
is
precious.
A
Thank
you
and
then
regarding
first
priority
going
to
PPS
I'm,
just
trying
to
think
it
through
as
to
understand.
Why
is
it
because,
potentially
at
least
I
know
with
my
children,
when
they
played
sports
that
were
after
school,
they
generally
didn't
get
to
the
field
until
approximately
five
five
thirty
six
o'clock?
Is
that
the
rationale
for
why
PPS
would
be
given
first
priority,
specifically
between
2,
30
and
5.
M
Yes
correct:
we
want
to
give
them
that
opportunity,
while
the
kids
were,
you
know
there
at
school,
so
they
could
ensure
that
that
was
the
best
available
time,
because
you
know
most
other
youth
leagues,
kids
were
returning
from
home.
Parents
were
returning
from
work,
and
so
in
our
experience
you
know
that
was
kind
of
a
a
pretty
reasonable
ask
that
we
could.
A
Thank
you
and
I'm,
assuming
in
doing
so
that
we're
also
ensuring
that
whatever
PPS
students
are
utilizing,
our
Fields
aren't
doing
so
well,
not
necessarily
utilizing
PPS
facilities,
correct.
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
I
have
other
questions,
but
I'll
certainly
speak
with
the
councilman
about
it.
Any
further
discussion,
councilman
Clark
Hill.
D
Second
round
yeah
director
I
just
want
to
commend
you.
You
know:
we've,
my
league,
we
played
in
fields
in
South,
Park,
Bethel
Park
throughout
the
entire
South
Hills
and
I
will
tell
you
our
Fields
were
the
best
maintained
yeah
under
your
direction.
I
feel,
like
you
know,
the
men
and
women
who
take
care
of
those
fields
do
a
job
Second,
To
None
nearly
so
so.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
they're.
D
Always
after
me,
every
before
every
game,
hey
Cog,
Hill
you're,
going
to
have
that
grass
cut
or
you're
going
to
have
that
field.
Dragged
and
I
got
to
tell
you
nine
out
of
10
times.
It
is
so
so
again.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
the
the
work
that
you
and
and
the
Public
Works
employees
put
into
them.
Thank.
M
H
A
Thank
you,
councilman
Wilson.
You
want
to
offer
up
a
motion
to
hold
now.
L
I
E
A
K
Yeah,
so
just
to
just
to
clarify,
so
these
were
funds,
as,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
mayor,
Gainey
canceled,
the
mon
Oakland
connector
shuttle
road
project,
and
so
there
are
remaining
funds
in
that
project,
most
of
which,
and
it's
about
a
roughly
6.7
million
dollars,
most
of
which
is
was
intended
to
go
toward
various
improvements
to
existing
bike
and
ped
infrastructure.
K
But
existing
infrastructure
right
so
which
you
know
for
the
communities
in
in
that
area,
is
much
lower
priority
than
some
of
these
other
things,
in
particular
improvements
to
the
bergwon
rec
center.
They
need
a
new
HVAC
system.
This
is
a
a
a
city
building,
that's
run
by
Volunteers
in
the
you
know,
with
after
school
programs
run
by
Volunteers
in
the
community.
K
The
heating
system
is
just
this
giant
noisy,
you
know
ancient
heating
system,
so
that's
something
they
need,
so
they
can
be
warm
in
the
winter
and
you
know
comfortable
in
the
summer.
Another.
K
The
other
project
is
to
build
a
new
playground
in
the
Gates
Manor
near
The,
Gates
Manor
area
of
Lincoln
Park,
which
is
a
large
resident,
a
large
and
growing
residential
community
that
with
lots
of
young
kids,
that
does
not
actually
have
a
playground
round
within
a
reasonable
distance,
a
reasonable
walking
distance
so
that
that
is
a
project
that
we
need
to
dive
into.
You
know
talk
with
the
community
Etc,
but
and
then
going
forward
not
in
this,
but
just
to
keep
in
mind
going
forward.
K
There
are
other
other
priorities,
such
as
sidewalks
from
image
from
Glen
Hazel
down
to
Browns
Hill
Road,
where
there
are
lots
of
amenities
and
there's
no
sidewalks
right.
Now,
it's
a
very
dark
scary
road
going
down
there
about
halfway
down
you
just
stop
the
Sidewalk
Ends.
So
that's
a
project
we'd
like
to
see
and
also
improvements
to
Lewis
playground
in
Hazelwood,
which
has
a
crumbling
retaining
wall
and
other
issues
as
well
as
the
playground
in
Four
Mile
Run.
So
that's
just
some
future.
D
I,
just
I
really
want
to
say:
congratulations
I
know
that
you
were
working
on
this
before
you
actually
took
the
oath
of
office
here.
So
you
know
it's
good
to
see
it.
You
know
you're
stuck
with
it,
came
to
fruition
and
you're
redirecting
that
money
into
things
that
you
know
where
the
community
wants.
It
and
I
think
the
council
members.
D
You
know
we
know
our
districts
better
than
anybody,
so
good
job
I
hope
you,
you
know
redirect
the
rest
of
the
money
to
other
needs
that
you
might
have
and
you're
up
to
a
good
start.
Thank.
K
You,
oh
and
I
also
want
an
ad
that
just
for
the
for
the
the
bike
folks.
L
K
Am
I
am
in
conversation
with
bike
Pittsburgh
and
with
Domi
to
look
at
those
areas
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
to
to
improve.
You
know
the
bike
ability
in
in
those
in
that
bike
infrastructure
in
simpler
ways
that
you
know.
So
that's
that's.
What
we're
we're
going
to
look
at
that
as
well,
so
I
haven't
forgotten
about
don't.
M
J
L
Yeah
I'm
supportive,
it's
I'm,
looking
at
it's
in
my
district,
it's.
B
A
You
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
aye,
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation
before
exhausting
our
agenda.
There
was
a
bill
that
Madam
president
introduced
yesterday.
That
needs
held
for
public
hearing
is
Bill
1157,
for
unfortunately
she
didn't
make
the
motion
yesterday,
so
it
could
be
on
today's
agenda.
So
Madam
president,
will
you
make
a
motion
to
waive
rule
eight,
so
this
can
be
read
into
today's
agenda.
E
A
I
Fully
supported
did
we
did
we
do
that
right,
I
think
we
did
right.
Yes,.
A
I
A
Opposed
the
bill
will
be
held
for
a
cable
cast
public
hearing.

K
Say
thank

Mayor
gainey's
office
for
the
executive
order
that
was
announced
to
review
tax-exempt
properties
in

of
Pittsburgh.
This
is
something
that
is
long
overdue.
We
know
that
we
have
lots
of
lots
of
non-profit
organizations
that
hold
I
think
what
is
about
20
percent
of
the
of
the
properties
here
and
property
taxes
are
a
large
burden
on
our
residents,
and
so
you
know
this
is
long
overdue.
I'm
excited
to
see
this
I'm
excited
to
see
this
happening
and
I
also
just
because
I
don't
know.
K
If
you
remember
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
a
gentleman
named
Darwin
loiba,
he
is
the
O'hara
Township
auditor
came
here
and
presented
to
us
a
very
comprehensive
review
of
upmc's
parking
garages
and-
and
you
know,
a
great
analysis
of
of
the
the
money
that
we
could
be
bringing
back
back
into
into
the
fund.
If
we
were
taxing
these
parking
lots
accordingly,
so
I
encourage
the
administration,
perhaps
to
start
there,
but
yeah.
All
in
all,
I
was
very
happy
to
see
that
this
morning,
or
yesterday,
whenever
that
was
announced,
thanks
thank.
