D
D
E
Hi,
my
name
is
Andrea
boykovich
and
I'm,
the
interim
director
at
Oakland
Planning
and
Development
Corporation
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
central
Oakland
and
I'm
here,
just
to
speak
regarding
the
proposed
amended
zoning
legislation
that
is
before
you
today.
E
Hope
EDC
is
strongly
in
favor
of
council,
hastening
the
application
of
the
inclusionary
zoning
overlay
District
to
all
of
Oakland,
and
we
participated
in
conversations
with
other
Oakland
residents,
neighborhood
associations
and
stakeholders
regarding
unresolved
issues
in
the
zoning
legislation
just
recently
I'm
noticing
in
the
proposed
amendments
that
I
think
that
you
will
have
the
chance
to
review
today
that
in
the
urban
center
mixed
use,
District
educational
classroom
space
is
still
committed
as
a
special
exception
and
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
voice
opposition
to
this
inclusion.
E
Special
special
exceptions
are
pretty
easy
hurdles
to
clear.
The
only
criteria
that
govern
the
consideration
by
designing
administrator
for
a
special
exception
have
to
do
with
the
adverse
impact
to
traffic
and
property
values
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
building
that
is
applying
for
that
proposed
use.
The
reason
for
excluding
it
in
Oakland
in
this
particular
zone
is
really
more
to
do
with
the
Integrity
of
the
Oakland
plan
in
general,
and
I
would
really
encourage
you
to
reconsider,
permitting,
as
even
a
special
exception
in
the
educational
classroom
space
in
the
urban
center
McPhee's
District.
E
Beyond
that,
we
were
pleased
to
see
the
adjustments
to
the
height
that
councilwoman
strasberger
is
proposing
here,
and
we
really
applaud
you
all
for
taking
the
time
and
patience
to
hear
everybody's
objections
and
to
encourage
everyone
to
come
to
consensus
on
a
lot
of
the
contested
points
of
the
zoning,
so
I'm
hopeful
that
Council
will
soon
passed
this
set
of
bills
and
that
we
will
be
able
to
proceed
with
more
clarity
about
permitted
development
in
Oakland.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Which
that
means
The
Light
in
Me,
honors,
the
lightning
yeah.
My
title
is
in
the
grand
Inca,
the
air
quad
Confederacy
of
Aboriginal
American
people,
both
commonly
known
as
the
chief
of
my
nation
and
I,
wanted
to
speak
about
and
continue.
My
conversation
and
comments
of
yesterday,
creating
tangible,
achievable
Pathway
to
promise
for
the
children
of
today.
C
That's
fine.
It
looks
as
if
only
books
about
gender
are
being
questioned
and
some
books
about
race,
but
after
digging
a
little
further
I
realized.
It
was
more
of
a
cover-up
of
the
miseducation
of
so-called
black
people
about
their
origin
about
their
lineage.
What
are
we
really
and
truly
come
from
to
teach
a
child
that
slavery,
beginning
of
their
narrative,
can
only
produce
horrible
research
results.
C
C
C
F
G
G
The
laws
of
Pennsylvania
or
this
Charter,
which
such
powers
or
functions
are
presently
presently
available
to
the
city
or
May
in
the
future
become
available.
So
let's
talk
about
the
powers
denied
by
the
Constitution.
One
of
those
Powers
is
Article
1,
Section,
2
plus
3,
which
clearly
defines
an
excluding
Indians,
not
taxing.
The
Bouvier's
dictionary
gives
a
clear
definition
of
what
the
word
Indian
in
that
article
means,
and
it
says
the
Aborigines
of
this
country
are
so-called
Indians.
G
So
we
are
not
the
Native
Americans.
They
have
a
different
history
and
a
different
story
in
a
different
relationship
and
contractual
agreement
with
Congress
under
title
25.
We,
although
the
Aborigines
of
this
land
who
were
reclassified
from
Indian
to
colored
and
then
colored
to
negro,
negro,
to
Black
and
so
on,
and
so.
G
G
G
The
chain
of
friendship
now
entered
into
what
that
is
saying
is
of
my
ancestors,
our
ancestors
to
Aboriginal
Indian
ancestors
made
treaty
with
your
ancestors,
and
this
treaty
was
to
be
in
line
with
French
trust
and
the
protections
and
your
responsibility
to
protect
our
people
against
your
people
against
the
police,
who
don't
happen
to
have
a
well
understanding
of
the
Constitution
and
what
that
is
when
they
take
it.
Oh
just
like
you
all
have
taken
a
note
too.
What
does
that
oath
mean
it
means
to
over
protect
and
defend
the
Constitution.
G
A
I
Great
members
of
council,
we
need
to
create
a
plan
for
Oakland
that
creates
a
true
Innovation
Vista
District
poised
for
significant
growth
in
abundant
and
affordable
housing.
We
need
to
make
a
plan
that
rejects
the
systemic
racism
of
passed
downturnings
to
create
an
equity
future
for
our
city,
while
there's
some
good
of
a
plan.
That's
before
you.
Overall,
the
plan
is
full
of
bad
compromises
and
downtons
that
will
not
build
a
world-class
City.
Pittsburgh
has
faced
hard
times
over
the
possible
decades.
I
This
should
come
as
no
surprise
and
as
a
testament
to
the
people
of
Pittsburgh,
but
we're
at
a
Crossroads.
We
are
currently
underperforming,
similar
cities
like
Cincinnati
Indianapolis
and
yes,
even
Cleveland
in
many
regards
we're,
building,
less
housing,
losing
more
populations,
slowly
leading
away
our
tax
base.
I
This
is
an
existential
threat
to
our
city,
which
will
cause
taxes
to
rise
on
seniors
on
fixed
incomes
and
the
most
vulnerable
residents.
If
we
want
to
maintain
the
same
level
of
Public
Services
or
will
result
in
the
slow
degradation
of
our
roads,
police
parks
and
more
time,
we're
seeing
rents
and
housing
costs
rise,
leaving
some
of
our.
I
Large
color
fleeing
the
city
for
suburbs
due
to
having
nowhere
affordable
to
live.
Luckily,
this
is
a
problem
we
can
fix.
We
must
amend
the
zoning
of
Oakland
to
allow
more
housing
of
all
types
to
be
built.
We
must
remove
restrictive
zoning
from
Oakland
and
allow
missing
middle
housing,
which
is
in
existence
all
over
Oakland
already
to
be
built
again.
We
must
remove
parking
minimums
in
this
Transit
Ridge
and
job-rich
Corridor
to
make
building
new
housing
easier.
We
must
zone
for
more
height
in
this,
the
third
largest
commercial
center
in
Pennsylvania.
I
We
must
build
more
housing
near
the
massive
investments
in
brt
that
our
region
is
making
the
downtons
of
the
past
from
across
our
city
were
rooted
in
racism,
white
flight
and
redlining.
We
must
reject
the
past
sins
of
our
city
and
look
forward
to
a
brighter
future.
Mayor,
Gainey
and
Department
of
City
Planning
I
urge
you
to
amend
this
plan
to
allow
more
housing
in
Oakland
and
show
leadership
on
building
a
Pittsburgh
with
abundant
housing
for
all
and
members
of
Council
on
absent,
significant
changes.
I
urge
you
to
reject
the.
A
A
J
Foreign
Brown
I,
live
in
the
Hill
district
and
I
have
quite
a
few
things
that
I'm
be
talking
fast,
but
first
I
wanted
to
start
off
that
I
want
to
say
to
Mr
Lavelle.
Thank
you.
You
did
an
excellent
job
at
the
meeting.
Thank
you
again
now
after
the
meeting
I
walked
up
to
okay.
Let
me
explain
who
was
at
the
meeting?
He
was
there
damn
wood,
the
commander
from
number
two,
a
police
officer
and
also
DeWitt
Watson
who's,
our
County
Council
man.
J
When
we
got
finished
speaking
I
went
to
him
and
I
put
up
my
hand
and
I
said
I
want
to
thank
you.
I
said
all
I've
been
trying
to
tell
you
all
the
times.
I
was
coming
down
to
come
and
see
what
we're
going
through
and
then
he
said
and
seriously
he
did
say,
and
he
and
I
know
he
felt
it.
He
said
Miss
Brown,
I,
never
disrespect.
J
You
I've
never
said
anything
bad
to
you,
and
so
many
words
and
I
looked
at
him
and
I
smiled
I
said
because
you
don't
even
speak
to
me
now
he
talking
he
smiled
and
then
he
looked
and
he
said
I
said
gotcha
and
that's
the
truth.
Do
you
understand
I,
have
a
better
understanding
of
him
and
I
think
better
of
him
because
he's
an
educated
man
all
in
education
and
you
sit
there
and
don't
say
nothing
before
I
sit
for
our
city
I'm,
not
as
educated
as
you.
J
I
was
a
senior
in
college
when
my
son
got
killed,
but
if
I
had
finished
a
degree
had
a
degree
and
learned
some
of
the
things
that
I
should
have
learned.
I
wouldn't
be
like
you,
you
have
to
speak
up
for
you,
I
told
your
mother.
When
she
came
down
here,
you
remember:
Miss
Harris
gave
him
a
proclamation
for
what
and
then
his
mother
spoke
to
me.
I
went
to
her
and
I
said:
will
you
tell
your
son?
He
has
to
represent
us
all
now,
I
have
a
cousin.
It
was
out
in
in
Westgate.
J
She
said
they
were.
The
people
were
in
a
group
talking
about
he
got,
he
got
a
proclamation
for
what
they
even
knew.
You
didn't
deserve
it,
but
I'm
telling
you
I'm
not
jumping
on
you,
I'm,
jumping
on
the
actions
that
you
do
when
you
take
and
don't
fight
for
us.
We
get
nothing
we're
up
there
in
that
building.
We
don't
have
security,
but
if
Kaylee
we
were,
others
was
living.
J
That
wouldn't
happen
because
these
the
older,
but
the
politicians
respected
that
man,
he
is
dunked,
you
don't
know,
I
met
him
and
he
fought
for
us
and
I
will
keep
coming
down
the
fight
it's
as
much
as
I
can.
Okay,
anyway,
I
wanted
you
to
know
when
I'd
be
saying
about
Tim
Stevens
when
he
said
I
have
children
of
a
mixed
race.
Okay,
so
here's
saying
that
if
you
see
this
life
expectancy,
you
see
this
like
affected
woman.
J
If
you
see
one
like
her
they're
mine,
but
if
you
see
a
black
man
like
mine,
he's
the
guy,
do
you
understand
for
him
to
say
that
I
got
mixed
children?
What
was
that,
for
you?
Don't
understand?
I
got
a
black
child,
that's
dead
because
he
was
dark.
Do
you
understand
because
he
was
not
calling
the
other
man
that
jumped
on
him
had
an
arm
had
a
thing
on
his
bracelet,
a
bracelet
that
you
see.
Did
you
see
sapel?
J
K
Hi
I'm
Bernadette
from
Beachview
very,
very,
very
quickly.
We
need
to
make
bacc
Beachview
area
concerned.
Citizens
I
think
there
needs
to
be
an
effort
in
respecting
and
making
them
an
official
rco
of
Beachview,
because
the
current
one
that
I
have
attended
a
meeting
or
two
is
is
not
working
for
our
teens.
K
We
need
to
help
find
a
way
to
make
that
their
their
back
post
covet,
but
that's
at
the
new
public
hearing
on
the
first
for
RCs
anyway,
speaking
of
Youth,
yesterday
I
was
at
the
Rite
Aid
down
by
McDonald's
Market
Square
across
from
the
Gateway
t-stop
and
eyewitness
I
know
these
people
very
well.
It's
my
drugstore
and
I
witnessed
them
trying
to
catch
the
youth
at
that
time
of
the
day.
K
There's
a
lot
of
Youth
coming
in
from
all
the
schools,
and
he
looked
like
such
a
handsome
young
man
and
I
saw
him
stealing
food
and
I
said
to
him.
I
said
you
don't
want
to
do
this
and
he
flipped
me
the
finger
and
I
said
how
old
are
you
13
He
says
I'm
16,
going
on
17.
I
said
all
the
more
reason
why
you
don't
want
to
do
this
and
you
don't
want
to
end
up
in
Allegheny,
County
Jail
and
apparently
this
is
an
ongoing
issue
downtown
these
kids
have
lost
that
extra
SNAP
benefit.
K
They're
hungry
I
left
to
go.
Get
some
money
in
hopes
that
I
can
bring
it
back
to
buy
him
some
food
he
had
already
gone.
The
kids
are
not
allowed
to
bring
food
home.
My
own
daughter
has
to
sneak
an
unopened
container
of
milk
and
some
food
to
bring
home,
sometimes
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
She's.
Not
all
that
hungry.
K
Our
kids
are
hungry
for
the
several
times
that
I've
gone
to
the
Right
Aid
at
that
time
or
the
CVS
or
whatever
clothes
store.
There
is
to
all
the
schools
that
are
in
downtown
Pittsburgh.
These
kids
come
in
and
it's
it
we're
going
to
lose
businesses
down
there
too.
If
they
have
to
keep
making
up
for
the
petty
theft
loss
of
food
of
food
I,
don't
care
what
religion?
What
faith
you
are
I,
don't
care
if
you're,
a
pagan
I,
don't
care
what
religion
you
are.

Motion.
O
P
Motion
to
approve
discussion-
second,
yes,
Mr
chair,
so
we
got
the
email
late
after
yesterday
afternoon
and
if
you'll
recall
after
discussion
at
the
table
last
week,
we
especially
wanted
to
see
more
detail
about
kind
of
what
are
the
comparable
costs.
What
are
the
CNG
costs,
the
CNG
fueled
waste
haulers
to
purchase
but
and
then
also
operate
kind
of
on
a
kind
of
blending
in
all
of
the
costs.
So
we
can
see
what
the
relative
differences
are.
P
P
So
we
received
a
spreadsheet
with
the
kind
of
detailed
mileage
for
each
of
10
diesel
vehicles
and
how
much
how
much
we
paid
for
the
diesel
fuel
per
gallon
and
a
spreadsheet
of
like
exactly
how
many
miles
each
CNG
truck
drove
and
how
much
that
fuel
cost
per
gallon,
but
that's
simply
operating
costs.
We
know
that
our
diesel
vehicles
are
I,
actually
I
mean
some
of
the
things
that
are
operating
our
Fleet
right.
P
We
we've
been
complaining
for
years
that
they
were
operating
in
only
three
miles
per
gallon,
so
I
still
am
dissatisfied
that
we're
getting
an
Apples
to
Apples
cost
because
it
really
should
have.
It
should
have
been
like
compared
to
like
newer
diesel
vehicles
right
like
why
do
we
buy,
and
why
are
we
buying
these
compressed
natural
gas
vehicles,
if
they're
just
a
kind
of
stepping
stone
or
a
bridge
in
between
the
fleet
that
we
would
ideally
want
and
that
this
isn't
our
perfect
Fleet?
It's
just
our
kind
of
temporary
fleet
Fleet.
P
P
I
s
I
hate
that
we
continue
to
add
these
trucks
to
our
Fleet,
if
they're
just
holding
places,
if
they're
just
really
temporary
Vehicles,
there
were
vehicles
that
were
not
committing
to
are
all
hopefully
moving
in.
We
might
as
well
just
buy
brand
new
diesel
that
are
way
more
fuel
efficient,
less
expensive
and
that
we
have
flexibility
for
fueling
and
would
dramatically
reduce
particulate
matter
right.
A
brand
new
diesel
vehicle
on
the
road
is
not
comparable
to
the
really
old,
very
polluting,
very
low
mileage
diesel
trucks
that
we
have
been
operating.
P
So
I'm
still
dissatisfied
with
this
Brazil.
If
members
want
to
have
a
longer
discussion,
we
can
bring
our
our
administrative
people
to
the
table.
That
I
I
mean
that's
I,
don't
know
how
much
of
us
had
time
to
really
process.
It.
I
think
I
just
got
the
email
last
night
until
late
yesterday
afternoon,
so
I
intend
to
vote
now
and
I
don't
know.
If
anyone
else
has
questions
so
I'm
not
going
to
bring
everyone
to
the
table.
P
Q
Thank
you
and
I
I'm,
not
sure
whether
I
want
to
vote
no
or
hold
it
again
or
work
through
it,
because
I
keep
hearing
that
you
know
how
important
communities
that
have
been
disinvested
in
are
so
important
to
this
Administration
to
others.
And
yet
here
we
are
fairywood,
an
area
that
was
flooded,
that
people
lost
their
homes.
The
housing
project
was
shut
down
and
we
have
two
warehouses
down
there
that
employ
people
from
this
community.
They
don't
do
what
they
they
don't
talk
about
doing
things
they
just
do
it.
Q
They
hire
people
from
the
community,
they
hire
people
from
you
know
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
Beyond.
They
have
a
natural
gas
gas
station
in
ferrywood
and
yet
we're
saying
and
they're
right
off
the
79,
but
for
some
reason
it's
not
convenient
to
get
to,
but
it's
convenient
for
UPS
to
use
for
their
distribution.
It's
convenient
for
Amazon
to
use
and
increase
their
Distribution
Center
there.
It's
convenient
enough
for
Giant
Eagle
to
get
their
warehouses
there
and
two
warehouses.
It's
convenient
enough
for
other
people
to
grow
and
expand
there.
Q
It's
convenient
enough
for
ridc
Park
to
move
into,
but
it's
not
convenient
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
employees
come
on
I'm
not
buying
this
at
all.
So
for
me,
I
I'd
like
to
hold
it
for
one
more
week.
Until
we
have
a
discussion
about
giving
back
to
the
people
who
give
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
during
the
pandemic,
it
was
Giant
Eagle
who
helped
feed
everybody
through
the
food
bank.
They
help,
distribute
food
throughout
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
they've
helped
us
with
employment.
Q
They've
helped
us
with
job
training
and
they've,
helped
us
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
in
every
neighborhood
so
and
invested
in
our
neighborhoods,
with
stores
and
other
things
that
they're
doing
and
then
employ
the
people
from
the
community,
including
people
with
disabilities.
I
think
that
they've
done
a
fantastic
job
in
that
area
too,
and
yet
we
repay
them
by
saying
you're
not
convenient
enough
for
us
to
get
our
gas
from
you
natural
gas.
So
for
me
today,
I
would
like
to
vote
to
hold
for
at
least
one
more
week.
N
Parker,
thank
you
I,
pretty
much
agree
with
both
of
you.
You
know
I
I,
don't
like
the
idea
of
I
feel
like
it's
an
experiment.
Almost
of
some
sort,
I,
don't
know
how
these
vehicles
are
going
to
work
out,
but
so
and
permit
me
interrogatory
with
Council
council
president.
So
you're
saying
they
have
a
natural
gas
station
in
your
District
early
in.
N
N
A
With
discussion
because
I
know
councilman
Wilson
wanted
to
chime
in.
R
A
R
I
say
some
stuff
all
right
thanks!
Thank
you!
Mr
chair,
so
I
wasn't
really
going
to
weigh
in
on
this,
because
I
have
another.
The
next
bill
was
one
that
I
was
interested
in
I'm
interested
in
this
just
I'm.
Recalling
our
initial
discussion
on
why
we're
investing
in
CNG
and
my
understanding
was
that
the
trucks
there
on
the
road
right
now
are
diesel
and
to
lessen
the
pollutants
that
our
residents
would
breathe
in
the
CNG
would
be
less.
R
You
know
it
will
be
be
better
for
their
lungs,
so
I'm,
just
you
know,
I,
don't
like
the
fact
that
you
know
this
is
this
is
happening
I'd
like
to
just
go
straight
to
EV
Packers.
If
that's
this,
if
that's
possible,
so
I
mentioned
the
conversation,
but
also
if
we
could
have
interrogative
here,
because
I'm
not
not
clear
on
what's
going
on
so
we've
asked
for
a
reason
why
they
can't
use
the
Giant
Eagle
One
and
we
didn't
get
an
answer.
We
did
get
an
answer.
Q
Q
S
I
yeah
I'm
open
to
holding
too,
because
I
feel
like
there's
questions
than
to
answer
next
week,
but
just
to
put
out
the
quest.
So
just
so
my
understanding,
well
I,
guess:
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
so,
and
forgive
me
if
this
is
was
in
the
so
a
mobile
CNG
fueling
station.
Does
that
mean
that
that
the
station
itself
is
mobile
and
Leasing
and
maintenance?
So
we
already
I'd
like
to
know:
have
we
already
built
and
paid
for
something?
And
this
is
just
maintaining
it.
S
My
understanding
from
last
week
is
that
we
can't
do
electric
because,
like
the
technology
isn't
there
and
it
takes
too
long
to
charge
whatever,
like
the
technology,
isn't
there
for
these
large
trucks
with
electric
we've
already
bought
these
CNG
trucks,
and
we
can't
get
out
of
that
like
they're
coming.
S
S
But
at
any
rate,
there's
definitely
more
questions,
and
just
just
one
thing:
I
want
to
say
just
with
the
report-
and
this
is
maybe
because
I'm
new
and
I
may
have
sort
of
like
put
myself
on
Front
Street
a
little
bit
here,
but
a
lot
of
times.
It's
like
we
ask
for
reports,
and
then
we
get,
but
there
was
so
much
information
in
there,
but
it
was
I
mean
I,
opened
it
up
and
I'm
like
okay
I
know.
S
This
is
just
like
a
ton
of
numbers
and
whatever
without
like
the
specific
answers
to
the
questions,
and
that
and
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
went
into
the
report
right,
but
it
was
like
so
much.
It
was
almost
like
information
overload,
and
at
least
for
for
me,
I
felt
and
again
it's
probably
because
I'm
new,
but
I
felt
a
little
nervous
to
sort
of,
because
there
was
no
way
that
I
could
dive
deep
dive
into
this
report
in
the
time
allowed
and
it
sort
of
made.
S
My
initial
feeling
was
like
oh
gosh,
I
should
just
say
yes,
because
I
this
is
so
confusing
and
I
don't
want
to
look
like
I,
don't
know
what
I'm
talking
about
so
I
feel
like
there.
There
should
be
a
middle
ground
when,
when
we
ask
for
reports
like
there's
needs
to
be
a
certain
amount
of
distillation
and
Clarity
so
that
we
really
can
be
like
okay,
this
is
what
I
was
looking
for
like
these
were
the
you
know
not
just
like
content
dump
as
much,
and
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
work.
S
C
R
Motion
to
improve
discussion,
second
yeah
I'd
like
to
have
Patrick
and
Brandon,
come
to
the
table.
U
R
T
R
All
right,
thanks
for
coming
to
the
table,
so
I
appreciate
the
email
that
you
sent
on
Monday
and
I.
Didn't
give
enough
time
to
for
you
all
to
respond
based
on
the
time
that
I
respond
to
you,
but
you
did
follow
up
and
say
you
come
to
the
table
and
we
can
hash
it
out
here
so
I
just
want
to
so
you
sent
something
over
clearly
states.
There
was
a
resolution
past
the
ELA.
R
R
You
know
and
I
guess
I
would
expect
like
expect.
Like
you
know,
when
you
go
to
I,
don't
know
if
anyone's
trying
to
keep
track
of
a
goal,
there's
some
percent
of
like
we're.
You
know
50
there
40
there
to
our
goal,
and
so
can
someone
help
me
understand
like
how
the
ELA
is
tracking
getting
to
as
close
to
a
net,
zero,
Fleet
or
or
abiding
by
that
that
policy
of
the
greenhouse
gas,
like
limiting
greenhouse
gases
based
on
you,
know
the
fleet
that
they
pick.
U
So
currently,
the
ELA
follows
the
guidelines
from
the
city,
so
whatever
whatever
the
city
budgets
for
the
ELA
to
purchase,
is
what
we,
what
we
move
for,
we
buy
the
most
fuel
efficient
of
whatever
model
or
fossil
fuel
free,
if
possible,
Right.
Now
the
Technologies
just
hasn't
caught
up.
As
for
tracking,
we
work
really
closely
with
Pittsburgh
regions,
Clean
Cities,
when
we
provide
a
report
to
them
annually
with
our
vehicles
and
they
compile
it.
U
I
actually
am
working
on
that
report
this
year,
as
we
speak
for
this
year
to
to
get
that
percentage
of
where
we're
at
currently,
which
we're.
R
U
Actually
recommended
by
them
to
other
cities
and
other
counties
for
advice
on
on
moving
towards
a
electric
or
fossil
fuel
for
free
Fleet,
just
because
of
of
our
experience
and
and
how
quickly
we've
moved
we're
actually
moving
a
lot
quicker
than
some
other
places.
R
R
Q
A
Any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
invoices
to
removed
second,
and
if
we
could
also
have
a
motion
to
waive
the
rules
of
council.
You'll
see
that
pli
has
training
that
was
done
by
the
building
and
fire
code
academy
that
totals
six
thousand
dollars.
This
the
only
approved
vendor
that
can
actually
provide
the
training
they've
had
three
separate
trainings,
as
well
as
the
police
have
had
to
rent
undercutter
vehicles
from
Dollar,
which
is
the
approved
vendor
as
well.
A
Q
A
F
E
N
Now
my
question
is
Haverhill
I.
Believe
that's
my
district.
Is
anybody?
No.
Is
anybody
claiming
that
other
than
me?
Okay,
you
can
have
it.
S
S
You
know
that
that
and
not
just
domey,
but
really
all
the
Departments
that
grants
that
they
are
applying
for
for
things
in
our
district,
because
there
are
grants
out
there
they're
things
that
we
need,
and
those
are
the
things
that
we
and-
and
this
is
you
know,
I
no,
no
comment
on
on
this
particular
project.
Right,
it's
not
in
my
district,
but
you
know
I
know
that
there
are
things
that
we
need
and
if
there
are
grants
out
there
to
help,
you
know
do
the
things
that
we
need.
S
Those
are
the
grants
that
the
Departments
should
be
applying
for,
and
so
it
would
be
nice
to
have
I,
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
we
would
need
to
legislate
or
or
what,
but
it
would.
It
would
be
nice
if
it
was
just
provided
and
we
didn't
need
to
legislate
it
right,
but
just
sort
of
like
a
grant
plan
for
the
the
year
with
you
know,
identification
of
you
know
these
are
the
types
of
grants
that
are
available
for
this.
These
types
of
things
and.
A
Q
Just
want
to
say,
I,
somewhat
agree
with
that.
Actually
I
just
had
a
conversation
yesterday
unrelated
to
Domi
for
another
department,
that's
applying
that
we
applied
for
it
came
under
councilman
conquel's
committee
I
believe,
but
that
we
applied
for
a
grant
for
another
non-profit,
and
the
council
was
unaware
of
it
and
so
I'm.
Just
from
my,
my
understanding
is
there's
so
many
that
we
apply
for
and
and
having
everything
go
through,
Council
would
be,
would
probably
hold
up
a
lot
of
things.
Q
I
think
we
need
to
come
up
with
some
process
and
I
did
ask
our
budget
office
and
our
solicitor
to
work
on
something.
So
the
council
is
more
informed
of
everything,
so
I
think
we're
on
the
same
page
with
that,
but
that's
for
every
Department
I
think
we
definitely
need
to
know
more
I
think
we
definitely
need
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
going
on
and
what
we're
applying
for
in
the
cities
with
the
cities
on
the
hook
for
here.
D
P
You
so
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
councilwoman's
work
for
bringing
that
up
as
well.
P
So
we
we
have
asked
questions
about
that
before
and
I
just
want
to
elaborate
briefly
that
the
problem
is
that
as
I've
seen
in
my
district
is
when
these
grants
have
happened,
they
may
or
may
not
be
aligned
with
what
the
neighborhood
has
wanted
and
maybe
possibly
been
in
in
opposition
to
what
they've
been
working
towards
for
a
very
long
time
right
and
so
to
get
a
kind
of
a
project
that
falls
from
the
sky
in
a
neighborhood
or
right
in
the
same
park.
That
isn't
the
one
that
has
you
know.
P
Had
petitions
circulated
and
has
been
a
long
time
aspiration.
It
has
really
been
a
shared
Vision
unfunded,
but
then
a
random
other
thing
kind
of
Falls
in
or
similarly
that
there's
a
proposed
Road
Project,
where
again
15
years,
almost
20
years
of
community
planning
around
the
intersection,
without
any
conversation
or
inclusion
that
or
now
I'm
trying
to
bring
kind
of
opposing
like
the
city,
Department
Vision,
together
with
Community
Vision,
because
they
were
just
didn't
know
that
there
was
a
community
vision.
And
so
we
can
do
better
than
this.
P
Q
A
S
Well,
just
with
regards
to
what
councilwoman
gross
just
said:
I
mean
I,
even
even
just
last
night,
for
example,
I
was
I
mean
just
about
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
you'd
like
to
come
to
the
table.
You're
welcome
to
come.
P
S
S
So
how?
How
can
we
remedy
this
situation
between
working
with
council
members?
You
know
understanding
that
we
are
the
ones
ultimately
that
know
the
the
needs
of
her,
because
we're
the
ones
working
with
our
community
groups
and
and
our
community
groups
have
spent
years
as
councilman
Groves
said
advocating
for
various.
You
know,
you
know
whatever
it
may
be
in
the
roadway.
So
what?
What
can
we
do
to
to
work
better
together?.
V
Yeah
I
think
for
the
specific
meeting
from
that
was
recently
that
when
we
have
public
meetings
that
are
scheduled,
if
we
haven't
reached
out
to
your
office
in
advance,
then
we
certainly
should
be.
V
I
would
want
to
know
more
about
what
those
changes
were
and
if
I
don't
know
about
that
specific
example
that
you're
sharing,
but
absolutely
you
know
we
have
regular
check-ins
I,
have
that
with
a
number
of
council
members.
That's
the
opportunity
where
we
talk
about
a
lot
of
specific
projects.
You
know
our
department
has
200
million
dollars
worth
of
projects,
we're
trying
to
do
right
now.
So
sometimes
we
might
miss
the
mark
on
making
sure
that
every
update
has
gotten
where
it
needs
to
go,
but
we
can
continue
to
work
on
that.
W
V
S
So
then
I
guess
that's
a
question.
That's
just
for
me
because
I
I
have
to
say
as
much
as
I
like
the
neighborhood
services
team
and
they
do
agree.
But
this
sort
of
middle
connection
between
you
know
and
and
for
I'm
not
sure
why.
But
it
seems
to
happen
a
lot
with
Domi
in
particular:
I,
don't
notice
it
as
much
with
the
other,
but.
S
But
but
this
sort
of
middle
you
know
middle
connection
where
it's
like
neighborhoods
either
it
it
doesn't
see
there
seem
I
mean
maybe
there's
a
disconnect
right
is.
Is
the
message
being
lost
between
these
two
would
be
much
easier
I
for
me
anyway,
to
just
be
able
to
have
to
work
directly
with
you
and
and
specifically
the
experts
in
your
department,
for
whatever
the
issue
may
be,
and.
V
We
do
you
know
we've
emailed
multiple
times
this
week
we
have
an
in-person
meeting
this
Friday,
so
we
do
work
directly,
The
Neighborhood,
Services
Group.
If
we
have
won
Municipal
Traffic
engineer,
so
the
expectation
of
that
one
technical
expert
being
able
to
attend
90
neighborhoods
within
meetings
is
just
that's
unsustainable
for
the
position
and
unrealistic.
So
that's
why
Neighborhood
Services,
which
we
are
very
grateful
for
their
their
ability
to
be
that
Community
presence
I,
know
that
they're
in
the
process
of
hiring
an
infrastructure,
specific
person,
so
I
think
maybe
a
little
bit
of
the
rub.
V
S
S
For
years,
they
were
told
by
the
representative
at
the
mayor's
office
from
the
mayor's
office
who's
new,
that
they
should
make
three
one,
that
they
should
rally
the
neighbors
and
make
3-1-1
requests,
and
that
is
I
have
to
say
extremely
frustrating
for
neighborhood
groups
who
for
years,
have
been
communicating
directly
with
Domi
and
said:
hey
look!
This
is
what
we
need
like
we're,
telling
you.
This
is
what
we
need
and
then
to
be
told.
Oh
we'll
just
go,
tell
everybody
to
call
3-1-1,
and
that
also
increases
our
work,
at
least
for
me.
V
Yeah
I
mean
as
a
resident
that
is
frustrating
I,
think
that
it's
it's
going
to
be
hard,
even
when
there
is
a
dedicated
infrastructure
person
to
know
exact
history
of
every
single
project
and
the
status
of
requests
in
3-1-1,
because
there
are
thousands
but
I
do
think
and
through
our
map
portal
and
having
things
like
our
traffic
calming
map
that
we
put
up
there
our
project
status
map.
V
Our
department
is
really
trying
to
increase
that
transparency
and
keep
down
that
frustration,
so
that
people
can
find
out
the
statuses
of
their
requests
without
having
to
call
somebody
without
having
to
go
to
a
meeting
necessarily
having
something.
That's
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week
now
that
transparency
may
not
be
there
yet
for
311
specific
requests.
V
If
it's
something
that's
already
been
accommodated
it
or
if
it's
something
that
we're
unable
to
accommodate,
for
example,
with
crosswalks,
sometimes
we
get
requests
for
crosswalks
and
locations
that
are
uncontrolled
and
that
we
do
not
believe
we
can
make
safe
in
the
current
environment.
But
the
public
deserves
that
information
about
their
requests.
So
they're
not
just
left
hanging,
I,
agree,
yeah.
S
So
I
feel
like
we're
talking
past
each
other
a
little
bit
here.
I,
don't
if
you
forgive
me
I,
and
you
know
this
is
when
you
have
a
community
group
right,
an
rco.
That's
been
around
forever.
These
are
people
and,
and
they
have
they
have
come
to
you
and
they've
said
numerous
times.
This
is
what
we
want.
S
You
know
what
the
community
wants.
This
is
the
thing
that
they
want
now.
If
it's
a
no
right,
if
it's
a
no,
you
can't
have
that
because
a
b
you
know
for
whatever
reason,
there's
not
enough
money,
there's
not
whatever,
then
you
come
and
you
tell
them
that
right,
you
tell
them
no,
but
but
to
just
say,
oh,
like
like
they
like
no
one's
ever
heard
of
the
request
before
or
omega-311
request,
and
we'll
tell
that
individual
person
who
made
a
3-1-1
request
that
you
know
for
XYZ.
S
S
Maybe
I
can't
get
like
the
the
big
thing
that
I
want.
But
you
know
what,
when
I
engage
with
my
city
government
about
smaller
things,
right,
a
stop
sign
a
line
whatever
or
getting
a
tree
cut.
I
mean
that's
a
dpd.
You
know
what
I
mean
like
getting
the
branch
if
they
know
that
when
they
engage
with
their
city
government
on
the
smaller,
simple
things,
those
things
get
done,
it's
fairly
easy
to
get
those
things
done,
then
they're
more
forgiving.
On
on
the
bigger
picture
stuff,
so.
V
S
Not
not
a
history
of
311
requests,
a
history
of
a
community
group
coming
to
Domi
and
the
city
and
asking
for
a
crosswalk
at
an
area
and
and
and
again-
and
maybe
this
is
an
issue
with
this
new
setup
right
of
having
this
sort
of
middle
person
between
them.
But
the
mayor's
office
should
never
have
been
put
in
a
position
to
come
to
this
meeting
in
Squirrel,
Hill
and
say:
I.
Don't
I,
don't
know
about
this
I
don't
know
about
this
crosswalk
right.
V
There's
an
opportunity
to
learn,
you
know
we're
all
learning
here:
there's
300
000
residents,
there's
Domi
has
something
like
63
different
service
request
types
in
3-1-1
alone,
so
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
you
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
responsiveness
to
people's
concerns
you're
upset
that
there
was
a
disconnect
between
a
representative
who
went
to
the
community
and
the
back
story.
I
assure
you
that
Domi
probably
has
some
information
that
we
can
provide
and
that
this
is
really
good
feedback
for
our
team.
V
That
does
go
out
so
that
we
can
make
sure
hey
next
time.
Maybe
we
can
pull
some
data
for
you
and
we
can
get
you
some
histories
of
projects
that
might
get
called
on
so
I
think
there's
opportunities
for
the
communication
pieces
with
what
you're
talking
about
in
terms
of
the
being
able
to
respond
to
requests.
We've
got.
You
know,
that's
a
that's
a
lot
of
that's
a
long
conversation
about
the
number
of
people.
V
M
It
was
not
domi's
decision
to
move
the
communications
person
out
of
Domi
to
the
mayor's
office,
to
the
office
of
community
or
to
the
communications
office
whatever
under
the
mayor's
office
and
and
or
to
move
all
of
the
sort
of
addressing
of
concerns
that
relate
to
Domi
to
the
I.
Don't
know
the
official
name
of
it.
The
Office
of
Public
engagement,
Community
Services
in
the
mayor's
office,
so
I
think.
M
How
are
they
improving
their
relationship
and
their
communication
with
Domi
to
make
sure
that
they
have
all
the
information
and
they're
as
prepared
as
possible,
with
this
history
with
the
institutional
memory
as
much
as
possible
of
the
neighborhood,
because
if,
if
Domi
wasn't
there
to
no
fault
of
their
own
either
because
they're
short
staffed,
which
we
know
they
are
or
because
the
mayor's
office
has
now
taken
on
this
role?
M
You
know
we
need
to
be
talking
to
the
people
who
are
actually
at
the
meeting
too.
So
if
it's
part
of
a
conversation,
a
bigger
conversation
I
welcome
that,
because
I
completely
agree
that
we
need
to
improve
the
processes
to
ensure
that
the
burden
does
not
fall
on
council
members
to
continually
like
have
to
be
our
own
organizers
and
advocates
for
the
things
that
the
community
want
and
then
to
see
them.
M
You
know
in
the
Disney
projects
that
maybe
the
community
doesn't
want
to
come
in
and
you
know
have
to
deal
with
that
sensitive
situation
where,
like
it's
part
of
a
plan,
but
it's
not
what
the
community
is
asking
for,
like
I've,
been
there
too
and
I
get
that
and
yeah
the
systems
to
communicate.
That
back
to
community
has
to
has
to
improve
but
wanted
to
point
out
the
Dynamics
that
led
to
where
we
are
right.
M
Now,
where
you
know
Domi
is
necessarily
present
at
the
at
the
meeting,
is
not
entirely
the
doing
of
of
the
leadership
of
Domi.
Thank
you.
Q
I'm
just
going
to
say,
I
know
that
you
know
we
sometimes
when
people
come
to
the
table,
we
give
people
her
time,
but
I
think
when
you
understand
that
it's
because
we
are
advocating
for
our
constituents
and
our
residents
and
it's
received
in
a
way
that
members
feel
respected
back
then
I
think
you
have
a
much
better
relationship
and
working
relationship
with
the
members
and
so
I'm
going
to
say
I
know.
Councilwoman
Warwick
is
obviously
very
in
touch
with
her
community.
Q
She
was
elected
to
represent
them
and
I
think
that
maybe
it
would
be
best
if
and
I
know,
that
the
administration
was
talking
about,
maybe
possibly
the
three
of
you
getting
together.
You
and
the
administration,
the
two
of
you
in
the
administration
I
think
maybe
that
would
be
more
helpful
than
us
sitting
at
this
table
every
week
and
feeling
like
members
are
disrespected.
H
Q
Not
valued
and
I
think
that
may
not
be
your
intent,
but
sometimes
that's
how
it
comes
across.
Sometimes
when
people
are
working
with
members
and
I
just
want
them
to
feel
respected
and
valued
at
the
table
as
well
and
and
I
want
you
to
also
feel
valued
and
respected
of
the
table.
So
I
think
that
there's
a
way
to
do
that.
I
think
we
just
need
to
to
get
get
that
meeting
together,
but
I
just
want
to
say
I
think
it's
I
think
the
tone
has
to
come
from
the
top
down.
Q
A
little
bit
of
you
know
maybe
devalued
in
some
cases
and
I
think
that,
if
that's
going
to
happen
council's
going
to
push
back
and
I
just
want
to
remind
people
that
Council
controls
the
budget
and
they
can,
they
can
also
restructure
government,
and
that
means
every
department.
So
I
want
people
to
remember
that
when
they
come
to
the
table,
when
they're
working
with
the
members
and
I
want
them
to
realize
that
there's
enough
members
here
that
stick
together,
we
may
we
may
differ
on
a
lot
of
things.
Q
N
V
Was
it
we
shared
a
50
with
DPW
who
Emily
Bourne
who's
now
with
the
Press
office
for
the
mayor.
V
V
But
the
new
structure
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
there
too,
you
know.
Now
we
have
a
unified
place
within
the
city
government
that
cross
Department
collaboration
and
a
focus
on
specifically
public
engagement
with
Direction
and
Leadership
from
experts
in
that
arena
is
also
really
beneficial.
N
I've
said
many
times,
I
know
firsthand,
because
you
know
chair
in
your
department.
You
either
need
less
responsibility
or
more
resources.
I,
don't
know
which
one
that's
not
for
me
to
decide,
but
I
and
I
didn't
realize
you
lost
a
Communications
person
to
the
mayor's
office
in
this
I.
Don't
think
it
was
wise,
but
okay,
that's
it
for
me.
R
V
R
They're,
like
because
I
remember
the
budget
hearings
in
terms
of
the
the
you
know,
the
mayor's
creation
of
the
neighborhood
services
that
the
whole
conversation
was
based
on
like
government
relations
and
community
relations.
These
are
my
questions
to
them
and
really
the
only
the
last
but
I've
only
been
on
Council
for
through
three
years.
But
my
understanding
when
I
came
in
was
that
there
was
really
one
Department
that
had
someone
that
was
like
a
liaison
between
the
public
and
that
was
pli.
H
R
R
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
that.
This
I'm,
not
I,
don't
have
an
opinion
on
that
that
I'm
expressing
to
you
I'm,
just
saying
like
just
in
terms
of
the
conversation,
how
these
departments
communicate
and
how
the
mayor
in
office
the
mayor's
office
sees
that
that
they're
going
to
take
on
that
responsibility.
R
So
I
know
we
have
a
couple
couple
things
coming
up
that,
like
some
travel
calming
meetings
that
the
community
wants
and
they
want
certain
people
there
so
I'm
just
interested
to
see
how
this
this
all
continues
to
work
out
with
them
with
Neighborhood
Services
I
have
seen
Rebecca
and
her
team
being
very
active
on
responses
to
to
some.
You
know,
constituent
concerns
that
are
pretty
pretty
complex
sin
and
that
looks
like
there
has
been
some
success
there.
So
I.
O
V
May
I
make
one
quick
response,
so
you
mentioned
Nick
Ross.
He
stayed
with
the
department
for
about
a
year
and
in
his
exit
interview,
he
cited
the
having
to
participate
and
stand
in
front
of
the
public
and
often
get
yelled
at
as
being
a
reason
for
his
departure.
We've
had
four
people
hold
that
one
position
that
were
required
by
state
code
to
have
we've
had
four
different
people.
V
If
you
include
acting
in
that
role
and
a
big
part
of
the
challenge
of
that
role
is
being
the
technical
expert
whose
professional
licenses
on
the
line
signing
designs
providing
leadership
to
their
group,
but
then
also
the
the
public
facing
side
of
it.
So
that's
why
we've
been
really
grateful
for
the
support
from
Neighborhood
Services
and
from
the
Press
office,
because
it's
helped
the
person
in
that
role
feel
more
confident
and
be
able
to
focus
on
their
core
work,
which
is
as
the
technical
expert
but
you're
right.
There's
opportunity
to
to
bridge
that
Gap
further.
R
Yeah
I
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up,
because
Nick
is
a
good
past
employee
to
bring
up
because
I
he
was
my
constituent
as
well,
and
I'd
known
him
previously
to
obtain
that
position
and
just
know
him
throughout
having
that
position.
R
He's
put
in
front
of
a
lot
of
you
know
that
Engineers
put
him
from
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
public
meetings
that
get
pretty
get
pretty
interesting,
especially
when
you
talk
about
taking
away
parking
spaces.
Having.
R
So
there's
a
lot
of
different
things
that
come
up
and
I
could
see
that
way
like
wearing
someone
down
and
so
I've
never
been
concerned
about.
Who
is
going
to
be
at
the
meeting
to
be
the
face
of
a
department,
but
more
so
what
that
person
is
equipped
with
so,
for
instance,
Nick
is
easily
able
to
Nick.
R
You
know
the
traffic
engineer
is
easily
able
to
to
say
to
the
public.
You
have
to
pull
from
their
from
their
knowledge
at
the
meeting
and
say
explicitly
like
why
they're
a
stop
sign
can't
go
here.
It
says
just
really
just
that's.
Why
I'm
saying
I'm
curious
to
how
this
all
plays
out,
because
I
know
the
public
I
think
it's
helpful
for
them
to
understand
that
right
in
the
moment,
so
you
know
I'm
pretty
sure
you
could
equip.
R
You
know
someone
in
neighborhood
services
to
be
familiar
with
that
that
information,
but
that's
just
kind
of
my
that
would
be
my
recommendation.
Yeah
to
have
like
these
individuals
be
fully
equipped
to
answer
those
types
of
questions
on
the
spot,
at
least
for
my
end,
in
the
meanings
that
I've
attended.
You
know
in
my
community
to
see
you
know
that's
what
they
would
want.
So
thanks.
Q
Think
in
some
cases
and
it's
a
it's,
been
growing
and
changing,
but
I
think
that
a
lot
of
times
what
I
struggle
with
is
hearing
directors
having
to
having
to
have
somebody
speak
for
them
at
meetings,
because
I
come
from
a
time
when
I
came
on
board,
we
had
Rob
kazarovski,
who
had
both
all
the
functions
of
Domi
and
DPW
act,
47,
reduced
staff,
and
yet
he
went
to
meetings
and
spoke
to
the
public
and
had
great
respect
from
people
across
the
air.
Q
So
I'm
trying
to
understand
what
happened
since
then,
and
maybe
it's
domey's
doing
more
and
doing
more
projects,
but
maybe
the
projects
that
don't
need
done
because
we
managed
to
get
along
well
back
then,
and
things
were
okay,
so
I
think
that
when
I
see
and
I
just
want
to,
you
know
really
say
that
I
think
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
that
did
a
lot
of
things
back
then
I
didn't
realize
how
valuable
what
it
was.
Q
What
they
did
was
including
going
to
community
meetings
and
talking
to
the
public,
but
we
worked
for
the
public.
So
when
somebody
takes
a
job
here,
whether
it
pays
well,
whether
it
doesn't
pay
well,
you
either
like
working
for
the
public
and
being
a
public
servant
or
you
don't.
And
so,
if
that's
not
a
job
for
somebody
here,
you
know
who
feels
like
that's
why
they
wanted
to
leave
and
they
didn't
like
the
meetings
or
something.
Q
If
that's
not
a
job
for
a
director
who
doesn't
feel
like
they
have
time
or
want
to
make
the
time
to
respond
to
the
public,
then
they
need
to
rethink
their
their
position
here
with
serving
the
public,
because
we
serve
the
public
and
our
public
wants
to
know.
They
want
to
have
a
saying
a
lot
and
I
told
you
this
once
before
I
think.
Q
Sometimes
we
gave
the
public
too
much
say
in
some
some
of
the
projects,
because
if
it's
a
safety
issue,
we
shouldn't
have
a
whole
lot
of
say
it's
either
a
safety
issue,
and
this
is
the
way
it's
done
according
to
code,
and
we
listen
to
some
things.
You
know
to
to
a
certain
extent,
but
safety
should
be
the
priority,
not
somebody
dictating.
You
know
what
we
have
done,
because
the
pup,
but
at
the
same
time
there's
so
much
so
low-lying
fruit
that
we
could
do
fixing
a
road
putting
up
a
stop
sign.
Q
You
know
putting
in
a
crosswalk
things
that
means
so
much
to
people
and
we
resist,
because
we
didn't
do
it.
It
didn't
go
through
our
process
and
it's
just
to
me
it's
we're
making
enemies
and
creating
enemies
of
the
people
we
serve
and
for
no
reason
I
mean
for
things
that
seem
so
simple
and
I.
I
just
think
it's
a
greater
conversation.
We
have
to
have
enough
and
I
do
think
that
I
I
could
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
you
when
I
have
an
issue
and
I
I.
Q
A
S
And
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
culture
within
Domi
as
a
department,
but
this
notion
that
oh
everybody
just
likes
to
hate
on
Domi
that
that
that's
not
that
that
is
Cree
like
that.
Issue
needs
to
be
addressed
and
there's
a
reason
for
it
right
like
there's
a
reason
when
I
mean
again
and
I
can
just
as
a
resident
right
when
and
I
I've
sent
you
a
new.
S
Domi
just
does
nothing
right
and
then,
when
a
request
comes
in
says,
oh
well,
actually
a
stop
sign
would
be
less
safe
because
of
XYZ
studies
that
have
been
done.
That
does
not
that
that
that
makes
people
angry
right
and
it
should
it
should.
It
would
make
you
it
it
it.
It
makes
me
angry
as
a
resident.
It
would
make
you
angry
as
a
resident
if
that
was
going
on
in
right
in
your
community
right
when
you've
done
all
the
due
diligence.
You've
talked
to
your
community.
S
V
S
V
R
Q
Say
I
think
sometimes
we
give
the
public
too
much
I
think
what
I
said.
What
I'm
trying
to
say
is,
but
that's
the
process
you've
chosen.
That's
the
process.
You've
requested
to
call
311
to
make
the
request.
So
that's
what
you've
requested
I'm
saying
I
know
that
I
ever
would
have
gone
down
that
road.
But
since
you
have
here's
where
we
are
and
that's
why
I
said
made
the
comment
so
but
I
think
this
is
what
the
problem
is
this.
This
interaction
is
like
tense
all
the
time.
A
F
No
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
I
just
would
like
to
know
if
members
have
any
questions
regarding
the
receipt
of
the
grant
funds
as
they
relate
to
stormwater
remediation
and
road,
paving
on
Haverhill
Street.
N
Okay,
I
I
agree
with
councilwoman
Warwick.
You
know,
I,
don't
like
being
surprised
in
my
neighborhood
about
a
project
that
I
know
nothing
about,
and
we've
had
instances
up
in
beach
view.
You
know
with
the
Reconstruction
or
phase
two
of
the
you
know,
Redevelopment
there
so
I
guess
I
just
really
want
to
know.
You
know
we're
going
to
have
changes
just
as
councilwoman
Warwick
is
kind
of
directing
in
her
own
District
that
we
had
similar.
N
V
Lost
our
Communications
person,
but
we
gained
the
Neighborhood
Services
Group
provide
providing
that
role.
Managing
meeting
attendance
as
I
mentioned,
they're
hiring
an
infrastructure,
specific
person,
that's
going
to
be
focused,
I
believe
on
the
work
of
Public,
Works
and
Domi,
so
that
they
can
really
become
an
expert
in
those
projects
and
be
really
well
informed.
I,
don't
know
that
they've
hired
that
person
yet,
but
that
position
is
in
the
budget.
Maybe
that's
the
new
person
who
attended
last
week.
I
haven't
met
them
yet
if
it
is,
but
that
is
the
that
is
the
face.
V
I'm
always
available
for
any
questions
that
come
from
your
offices,
of
course,
but
for
the
meeting
attendance,
we're
hoping
to
to
Really
skill,
skill
up
and
staff
up
with
an
infrastructure,
specific
Communications
person
for
most
most
meetings
for
meetings
that
we
are
required
to
host
for
specific
projects,
for
example
the
PennDOT
process.
If
we
have
certain
federal
funds,
there
are
certain
project
meetings
that
are
required
as
part
of
of
the
use
of
those
funds.
V
N
So
meeting
directly
with
you,
every
two
weeks
is
very
helpful
to
me
like
again
and
I'd
like
to
continue,
maybe
not
every
other
week,
but
more
than
once
a
month,
maybe
or
whenever
something
arises.
N
I
just
know
that
come
working
with
state
senator
Fontana,
it's
mostly
State
money.
That's
involved
on
Broadway
Avenue
when
that
time
comes,
and
we
we're
working
on
those
changes
and
things
that
we'd
like
to
see
that
money
put
toward
I
just
really
feel
you
need
a
whether
it's
you
or
a
designated
person,
a
PR
person
there
really
to
come
to
the
neighborhood,
because
it
gets
very
contentious.
N
When
you
talk
about
putting
pipelines-
and
you
know
whatever
the
project
might
be,
there's
always
some
sort
of
you
know
adversity
going
on
between
the
community
and
myself
and
with
Domi.
So
as
of
now
and
I'm,
I
will
be
holding
this
meeting,
probably
in
the
next
month
or
so
once
we
detail
and
I'll
meet
with
you.
First
I'll
detail
what
we'd
like
to
see
done
with
the
rest
of
that
money
in
agreement
with
the
state
senator,
of
course
you
know
he's
completely
on
board.
N
So
once
I
come
to
those
when
I
present,
what
we'd
like
to
have
done,
do
you
and
I
meet
and
you
have
to
okay,
it
or
how's
it
going
to
work
at
that
point,.
V
N
Okay,
and
as
far
as
like
a
community
PR
person,
if
we
don't
have
one
in
place
by
then
it
would
have
to
be
you
I
think
I
don't
want
to
fill
up
your
your
evenings,
but
you
know
I
I
really
need
somebody
from
domey
to
be
like
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do.
This
is
how
we're
going
to
do
it.
I
can't
answer
all
those
questions
I'm
just
trying
to
bless
you
so,
okay!
Now,
that's
it
for
me.
Q
H
F
Thank
you
very
much,
thanks
for
being
there
I
appreciate
your
time
being
that
I'm
new
to
the
chair
of
the
Public
Works
committee.
Could
you
just
give
me
a
brief
synopsis
as
to
what
UW
or
a
WSB
USA
is
and
the
reason
that
we're
asking
for
the
increase
in
allocation
absolutely.
V
So
wsp
is
our
consultant
who
is
managing
this
project,
even
though
this
is
written
as
an
increase,
it's
actually
the
next
phase
of
the
project,
so
this
is
for
final
design
and
authorization
for
services
during
construction.
So
this
isn't
a
project
cost
overrun
or
a
change
of
scope.
At
this
point,
this
is
just
coming
back
to
get
authorization
for
them
to
move
on
to
the
next
phase
of
the
work.
V
The
Liberty
Avenue
hsip
project,
which
is
highway
safety
Improvement
program,
aims
to
improve
safety
for
people
driving
cars,
people
riding
bikes
and
people
walking
in
the
Strip
District.
The
project
limits
extend
from
12th
Street
all
the
way
to
Heron
Avenue
and
include
a
number
of
traffic
signal
improvements
and
a
brand
new
signal
as
well.
F
You
just
answered
all
my
questions.
You
took
the
wind
out
of
my
sales.
They
had
three
other
questions
about
it
at
the
scope
of
the
project
and
the
actual
length
of
Liberty
Avenue
that
would
be
involved
so
I'm
good.
Thank
you
very
much
director
for
being
here
and
I'm
happy
to
to
approve.
P
Thank
you,
director,
I
I'll,
disqualify
that
a
portion
of
that
footprint
is
still
technically
polish,
Hill
I
think
all
the
way
down
to
34th,
Street
so
and
then
even
on
the
I
guess,
the
opposite
side
would
be
Lawrenceville
too.
So
there's
some
all
the
way
to
Heron
takes
you
kind
of
over
the
neighborhood
boundary
and
I
specifically
had
a
question
this
morning
from
a
constituent
that
I
could
not
answer
that
is
in
this
footprint
and
I.
See,
planning
is
still
in
the
audience,
so
I
actually
might
wonder
if
they
have
any
input
too.
P
So
the
question
is:
is
the
giant
construction
project
that
is
just
before
the
railroad
Trestle
that
we
call
the
Brewers
Block
it's
like
500
Apartments,
that's
technically
polish
Hill
on
the
right
side
of
Liberty
Avenue
there,
the
planning
permit,
allowed
them
to
build
really
really
close
to
the
very
small
sidewalk.
P
That
is,
it's
probably
like
a
three
or
four
foot:
sidewalk
Liberty
Avenue.
It's
actually
fairly
highly
busy
pedestrian
area.
You
know
think
about,
like
you've
got
Port
Authority
bus
stops,
you've
got
the
valet,
which
is
kind
of
a
you
know,
has
Community
classes
and
there's
just
you
know.
P
There
is
a
there
is
some
pedestrian
traffic
there
and
so
you've
got
kind
of
dangerous
car
driving,
regardless
of
what
the
speed
limit
is
on
that
part,
where
we're
just
about
to
go
under
the
railroad
Trestle
right
before
you
hit
Iron,
City,
Brewing
and
there's
a
massive
building
on
the
sidewalk.
But
then
this
morning
and
I
haven't
seen
my
eyes
on
it.
P
Yet
personally,
but
I'm
told
it
looks
like
almost
that
they're
taking
over
the
sidewalk
or
that
the
sidewalk
is
being
extended
into
the
street
I,
don't
know
if
it's
an
infrastructure
project
I,
don't
know
kind
of
what
is
going
on
on
the
sidewalk.
And
so,
if
you
don't
know
off
the
top
of
your
head,
can
you
find
out
for
us
and
I'll
also
send
the
same
email.
I
literally
got
the
question
as
of
coming
into
Chambers
I'm,
actually
from
one
of
the
clerk
staff
who's,
my
constituent,
he
sees
it
every
day
and
I
just
didn't.
P
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
belabor
this
plan
if
you
guys
can
follow
up
with
me.
I
really
appreciate
that.
But
it's
you
know
one
detailed
project
with
a
question.
I
can't
answer:
that's
not
perfectly
germane
to
the
the
agenda.
Item
councilman,
Krause,
so
I'll
take
my
questions
offline,
but
I
would
appreciate
a
follow-up
on
that
one
because
I
it's
it's
not
just
this
one
question
everybody
who
sees
that
project
is
kind
of
like
God
dang
man.
H
A
M
M
I
can
make
up
the
motion
to
amend
by
substitution,
and
then
we
can
have
a
discussion
there.
If
that
makes
sense
to
everybody.
X
Just
waiting
for
make
sure
the
chair
is
in
agreement,
Mr
chair
was
I
was
I,
was
I
was
saying,
I
could
I
can
make
the
motion
to
amend
my
substitution.
Then
we
have
the
discussion
if.
M
You're,
okay,
so
I
will
I
will
motion
to
amend
bill
2022-0592.
A
M
10
of
them
were
voted
on
already
in
December
and
by
this
body,
and
at
that
point
we
we
amended,
and
then
we
held
and
now
we're
approaching
the
drop
deadline
of
March
5th
and
so
we're
really
at
the
end
of
the
process.
There
are
two
additional
amendments
that
really
have
been
added
today:
number

and

M
M
M
Very
robust
conversation
meetings,
a
couple
of
different
meetings
and
then
another
follow-up
conversation
with
those
sitting
here
today
from
the
Department
of
City
Planning.
We
continue
to
work
on
answering
all
I,
think
67
questions
and
concerns
that
were
brought
to
US
during
that
process.
Thank
you
to
the
Department
of
City,
Planning
and
Kate.
Rake
is
in
particular
for
your
work
on
that
those
questions
will
be
answered.
Those
concerns
will
be
addressed
in
one
way,
shape
or
form.
M
A
couple
of
them
took
the
form
of
of
amendments
today,
but
I
really
mostly
wanted
to
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
been
part
of
the
process
to
thank
city
planning
for
all
you've
done
in
this
process,
to
thank
my
colleagues,
councilman,
Lavelle
and
and
Krauss,
and
your
team
Melissa
Rossiter
for
her
assistance
in
the
public
engagement
process
and
to
say
that,
in
my
opinion,
this
is
not
the
end-all
be-all
of
of
of
of
what
Oakland
looks
like
and
what
zoning
looks
like
in
Oakland.
M
There
will
be
opportunity
to
I
hate
to
say,
continue
the
discussion,
but
that's
what
it
is
to
consider
the
the
elements
that
we're
not
able
to
be
addressed
in
this
rezoning
bill.
But
still
are
you
know
we're
still.
People
are
still
seeking
answers,
or
you
know
their
concerns
to
be
addressed
when
it
comes
to
balancing
what
a
residential
Community
looks
like
that
also
has
institutional
partners
that
also
seeks
to
build
a
track
development
and
to
attract
an
innovation
District.
M
All
of
those
are
completely
valid
and,
while
I
think
a
lot
of
them
have
been
addressed
in
this
bill,
I
I
do
understand
that
some
of
them
still
are
still
yet
to
be
addressed.
So
I
will
reserve
my
time
for
now.
I
might
have
other
things
to
say.
Based
on
what
other
questions
people
have
but
wanted
to
open
it
up
very
very
generally
to
anyone
here.
If
you
would
like
to
make
any
comments,
if
you'd
rather
just
be
here
for
questions
that
are
that
arise
from
my
colleagues.
That's
also
fine.
M
Y
F
Thank
you
very
much.
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
know
that
I
have
anything
that
I
could
add
to
council
women's
strasburger's
remarks
other
than
that
I'm
in
alignment.
F
With
her
remarks,
I
I
would
like
to
thank
her
and
councilman
yourself,
Mr
chair
publicly
for
the
time
invested
to
thoroughly
vet
Community
concerns
across
the
board,
regardless
of
who
that
may
have
been,
and
I
would
like
to
publicly
recognize
councilwoman
strasberger
for
keeping
us
on
track,
keeping
us
centered
and
organized
through
at
times
a
difficult
process,
but
ultimately
I
believe
we
brought
the
best
at
this
time
that
we
can
bring
to
the
table
and
that
we
remain
open
to
further
examination
and
further
consideration
of
other
topics
that
were
brought
up
during
the
during
the
the
long
discussion
these
last
three
months.
F
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
am
in
support
today,
we'll
be
voting
in
in
the
affirmative
and
would
ask
members
that
they
would
do
so
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
the
time
for
my
remarks.
Mr
chair.
P
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
I
think
I
hear
everyone's
exhaustion
so
that
this
is
a
public
process.
That's
been
really
fraught,
I
mean
it
started
off
right.
I
mean
started
off
several
years
ago
for
the
Oakland
plan,
which
I
just
I,
think
I
heard
councilwoman
strasberger
distinguishing
from
these
zoning
proposals.
So
this
isn't
really
the
end
of
the
Oakland
planning,
nor
is
it
the
fruition
necessarily.
P
It
sounds
like
to
me
right,
I'm,
just
I'm,
just
telling
you
kind
of
like
how
I'm
processing
what
I'm
hearing
and
I'm
we've
definitely
heard
a
lot
of
frustration
in
public
comment,
but
that
is
also
seemed
to
have
just
hit
a
like
a
point
of
exhaustion.
So
and
sometimes
you
you
hear
you
know
no
one's
happy.
P
If
no
one's
happy,
you
know
you
found
a
good
compromise,
I'm,
not
sure
that
that's
where
what
I
am
hearing
I,
just
kind
of
hear
people
just
like
exhausted,
which
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
they're
kind
of
like
ready
to
and
finished
compromising
so
I
I
do
want
some
clarifications,
because
we
just
got
I
feel
like
we
just
got
this
this
morning
as
council
members
right
and
so
I've
been
trying
to
both
pay
attention
to
the
agenda
as
we've
been
voting,
but
also
reading.
P
It
is
a
very
long
document.
It's
on
a
PDF
on
my
tiny
telephone
screen
and
then
similarly,
the
maps
there's
a
map
attached
so
I
do
I
will
ask
you
just
some
factual
questions
that
you
can
answer
and
not
other
lofty
questions.
So.
P
V
Y
The
the
inclusionary,
the
the
Ico,
the
inclusionary
zoning
overlay
and
the
application
of
it
has
not
changed
through
what
was
initially
submitted
to
city
council,
and
so
that
is
for
the
entirety
of
the
four
Oakland
neighborhoods,
excluding
the
Emi,
the
educational,
medical,
institutional
districts,
because
those
are
all
governed
by
institutional
Master
plans,
and
so
and
so,
and
so
that's
where
those
you
know,
those
areas
were,
are
the
only
exclusions
in
the
Oakland
neighborhood
to
the
Ico.
The
inclusionary
sounding
overlay.
H
P
Y
The
Restriction
in
the
uce
is
that
no
more
than
half
of
the
building
can
be
used
for
residential
uses
period.
So
you
know
the
the
intention
there
was
to
to
make
sure
that
the
you
know
this
is
intended
to
be
an
employment
District.
You
know
here
in
the
Innovation
District
in
Oakland,
but
also
potentially
to
be
in
in
other
places,
and
that
you
know
with
that.
Y
There
was
an
additional
carve
out
there
that
you
know
if
a
if
a
you
know
if
a
building
isn't
you
know,
if
something
is
entirely,
you
know
affordable
housing,
that
it
would
also
be
permitted
in
the
district.
So
so
it's
less
than
half
of
the
buildings
are,
you
know,
are
allowed
to
be
residential.
Y
That
portion
of
a
building
that
may
be
residential
would
be
subject
to
the
inclusionary
zoning
overlay
District
because
it
is,
it
does
apply
there,
but
that
completely
affordable
projects
would
be
the
only
way
that
you
know
that
anyone
would
be
able
to
have
more
than
half
of
the
building
be
used
for
residential.
P
So
what
I
really
did
misunderstand
that
so
when
you
say
this
district
is
intended
to
be
an
employment
district
and
that
there
was
the
observation
that
some
of
the
buildings
were
entirely
residential
use
and
that
that
was
would
somehow
change.
Are
you
talking
about
all
of
Oakland
all
of
this
map,
or
just
the
uce.
Y
You
know
by
its
nature,
so
it
does
allow,
for
you
know
a
lot
of
those
types
of
uses,
but
also
for
greater
residential
use
in
that
district,
and
then
the
rmu
does
allow
for
some,
like
neighborhood
commercial
type
uses,
but
the
primary
use
in
the
primary
uses
in
that
District
are
residential,
and
so
the
intention
is
that
you
know,
as
kind
of
in
following
with
the
landing
strategy
that
came
out
of
the
neighborhood
plan,
that
you
know
that
each
one
of
those
districts
would
have
you
know
would
have
somewhat
of
a
focus,
although
there
would
be
an
allowance
for
for
a
mix
of
uses
in
in
each
of
the
districts
to
some
degree.
P
I've
already
forgotten
that
uce
reduces
residential
uses
from
existing
conditions.
P
Y
Well,
the
rmu,
the
primary
use
is,
is
residential
uses.
This
is
the
rmus
is
being
proposed
to
be
applied
in
central,
primarily
in
central
Oakland,
and
you
know
there
are
some
small-scale
commercial
uses
in
the
in
that
area.
Currently,
I
think
we
wanted
to
continue
to
be
able
to
permit
that.
Y
You
know
which
you
know
which,
which
was
which
was
also
noted
as
a
need
in
the
Oakland
plan.
You
know
there.
There
was,
you
know
a
lot
of
discussion
through
the
planning
process
of
not
only
the
need
for
additional
space
for
Innovation
uses
and
those
types
of
things,
but
also
more
opportunities
for
residential
to
have
whether
it
be
students,
whether
it
be
employees
of
you,
know
the
institutions,
you
know
or
others
to
be
able
to
live
in.
You
know
to
have
res
residential
opportunities,
and
you
know
and
opportunities
to
live
in.
P
But
we
heard
a
lot
of
testimony
about
how
we
really
needed
these
zoning
amendments
because
it
was
going
to
increase
residential
density
and
I
questioned
that
and
I
still
don't
really
have
data.
That
proves
to
me
that
this
will,
even
though
there
is
height,
greater
height
allowed,
as
you
said
in
the
ucmu
part,
which
is
not
bigger
than
the
uce
part
of
this
map
and
the
uce
reduces
residential
uses
and
may
eliminate
housing.
P
There's
a
de
facto
existing
extremely
high
residential
density
along
some
of
these
census,
tracts
now
like
something
like
15
000
people
per
square
mile,
which
is
you
know
three
times
the
average
residential
density
in
the
city,
which
is
about
5
000
people,
so
that
I
I
do
still
have
deep
concerns
that,
even
though
we
you
know
people
say
like
well,
you'll
have
higher
a
a
height
allowances.
P
You
can
build
higher,
so
that
will
automatically
identify,
that's,
not
necessarily
true,
and
certainly
the
demolition
of
some
of
our
historic
districts
where
people
are
really
packed
in
in
smaller
units
and
without
car
allowances.
Without
the
Turning
radiuses
for
the
driveways
for
the
cars
or
the
all,
those
kinds
of
things,
I
really
think
we're
at
risk
of
de-densifying
and
then
the
dark
purple
area
which
is
uce
is
meant
to
de-densify
residential
uses.
P
P
You
said
that
the
uce
I
think
you
said
the
original
legislation
allowed
it
to
go
down
to
50.
But
in
fact
today's
amendment
allows
it
to
go
down
to
20
percent
because
I,
don't
know,
number
11
says:
increase
the
educational
classroom,
space
permitted
in
a
structure
to
80
percent
in
the
uce.
Y
So
it
doesn't
change
the
it
doesn't
change.
The
requirement
relative
to
residential
residential
can
be
up
to
50
percent
of
of
a
structure
in
the
uce
district.
You
know
the.
Y
The
the
chain,
the
change
in
you
know
the
change
that
was
that
was
offered
in
the
bill
that
you
know
Council.
The
amendment
the
council
voted
on
was
increasing
the
allowance
of
classroom
space,
educational
classroom
spaces,
the
sorry
the
name
of
the
use
up
to
80,
so
it
allows
for
a
building
that,
if
desired,
could
allow
for
more
classroom
space
than
was
initially
presented.
Permitted
staff
I
think
that
was
50
percent
and.
P
Previously
strikes
me
as
ironic
right
we're
talking
about.
We,
we
just
voted
to
make
it
easier
to
flip
office,
uses
back
to
residential
downtown
and
that
this
Oakland
plan
is
going.
In
my
estimation,
for
what
I
can
understand
is
really
going
to
be
increasing
office
uses
throughout
Oakland
outside
of
the
Emi
like
these.
This
map
in
front
of
me
is
not
the
educational,
medical,
institutional
master
plan
footprint,
and
so
it
seems
like.
P
If
it
is
your
campus,
then
it
should
just
be
in
the
Emi,
and
we
have
a
separate
process
for
that
and
I
know
that
now
I'm
kind
of
upsetting
the
whole
apple
cart
and
going
back
to
issues
that
are
kind
of,
but
you're
well
passed
as
the
people
who
have
been
closest
to
the
conversation.
But
I
do
hope
that
we
do
continue
the
conversation
again.
P
These
are
tweaks
that
can
be
made
to
pass
this
zoning
bill
without
going
back
to
Planning,
Commission
and
so
everybody's,
just
kind
of
like
yeah
all
right.
Fine,
let's
do
it,
but
that
there
probably
will
be
more
changes
in
the
future.
Y
I
would
just
quickly
note
that
I
mean
presently
on
Forbes
Avenue,
for
example,
which
is
part
of
the
uce.
The
the
current
maximum
height
in
the
district
is
85
feet,
and
so
even
allowing
and
and
with
what's
being
proposed,
we're.
Actually,
you
know,
that's
that's
moving
up
to
a
potential
of
210
feet,
so
it
is
allowing
for
an
increase
of
density.
Even
if
there
is
there
are
restrictions
on
residential
and.
P
T
T
T
Y
My
only
other
comment
was
that
you
know
with
a
city
council
it
also
in
the
December
amendments
in
the
uce.
You
know
done
a
full
reduction
of
parking
in
the
district
as
well,
for
your
question
of
you
know,
does
height
equal
density,
and
you
know
especially
related
to
parking
requirements.
Y
It's
number
five
in
the
it's
number
five
in
the
sheet.
You
know
that
you
know
that.
P
P
A
P
Side
of
Boulevard
the
allies
yeah
all
the
way
down,
yeah
just
a
little
bit
there
so
between
how
between
well
I
can't
read
that
as
too
small.
Y
Y
P
Of
craft
Avenue,
so
I
unders,
you
know
I
think
everybody
has
just
discomfort
here.
It's
also
what
I'm
kind
of
feeling
so
I
guess
you
know
what
I
think
I
I,
don't
really
have
any
answers,
questions
that
you
can
answer
here,
so
I'll
just
I'll,
stop
and
see.
If
anyone
else
has
any
questions.
Mr
chair,
I
appreciate
it.
Q
I,
just
really
want
to
just
add
that
when
we're
talking
about
universities
you're
not
just
talking
about
Pitt
you're
talking
about
Carlo
and
and
any
other
universities
in
Oakland,.
Y
You
know
is,
is
within
or
you
know,
Carnival
partially
within
Oakland.
That's.
Q
Campus
is
also
there,
okay,
so
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
happening
there.
Okay
and
I
just
want
to
say,
and
without
those
places
we
want
to
have
a
lot
of
employment
for
our
own
areas,
so
I
mean
there's
got
to
be
a
balance
here,
I
think
and
I
think
councilwoman's
really
trying
to
strike
that
balance.
So
thank
you.
H
S
I,
just
just
because
there
was
a
speaker
at
the
beginning,
I
don't
know
if
you
heard
it
was
Andrea
boykovitz
from
opdc
right.
She
made
a
statement
about
the
item
11
and
just
just
to
reiterate
that
that
my
understanding
anyway
again
is
the
concern
of
sort
of
the
universities
just
taking
over
right,
taking
over
the
neighborhood
more
so
than
than
they
already
have
I.
Think
that's
a
valid
concern.
S
You
know
for
residential
air
and
also
keeping
in
mind
not
to
sort
of
plug
my
district,
but
we
have
a
a
big
huge
space,
just
waiting
to
be
developed
right.
We
would
really
like
to
see
something
happen
over
at
the
Hazelwood
green.
So
again,
I,
don't
not
insert
myself
in
some
work.
That's
been
going
on
for
so
long,
but
it's
that
it
seems
like
a
valid
concern
that
she
raises
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
possible
to
take
that
line
item
out,
but
I
know
that
that's.
M
You
so
I'd
like
to
address
a
little
bit
of
what
I
heard
one
if
you
heard
exhaustion
it's
true,
because
I
think
we're
at
the
point
where
we've
been
working
for
a
long
time,
and
you
know
hearing
still
yet
you
know
feeling
like
this
has
gone
through
a
whole
process
and
still
hearing
the
discontent
and
some
people
from
some
people
who
are
stakeholders
and
yet
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that
I
am
fully
wholeheartedly
in
support
of
this
plan,
and
this
rezoning
I
think
there
are
it's
really
difficult
to
try
to
create
a
plan
that
is
really.
M
You
know,
meant
to
be
for
one
neighborhood,
but
really
is
for
a
separate,
distinct
neighborhoods
with
that
is
essentially
a
downtown
as
well
the
third
largest
downtown
in
Pennsylvania.
So
there
are
many
many
things
to
balance.
Do
I
think
that
this
is
going
to
be
the
end
of
you
know
the
the
last
time
to
discuss
a
plan
or
the
zoning
of
Oakland
by
all
means.
No,
in
fact,
I
think
that
there
are
elements
of
this
we
can
revisit
sooner
rather
than
later,
as
I
see
my
City
Planning
friends
cringe.
M
But
I
I
there
are
elements
of
this
that
are
that
I
particularly
support
inclusionary
zoning,
the
reduction,
the
100
reduction
of
parking.
So
you
know
elimination
of
parking
minimums,
which
is
something
that
I'd
like
to
see
in
more
neighborhoods
across
the
across
the
city
where
it
makes
sense
to
do
so.
We
need
to
be
prioritizing
other
modes
of
transportation
in
these
areas
aside
from
Cars.
M
So
that
is
one
way
to
to
really
do
that
and
make
that
happen
very
proud
of
that
and
I
think
that
when
you
see
the
the
portions
of
Oakland
that
look
like
they're
less
dense
for
residential,
you
see
step
Downs,
certainly
from
the
the
much
denser
areas
that
might
be
geared
more
towards
an
innovation
District,
a
business
district
towards
the
residential
areas.
M
You
still
see
the
potential
for
much
more
dense
residential
areas,
I
mean
40
feet,
base
95,
Feet
max
height
in
some
of
these
areas,
185
Max
height
or
65
foot
base
height
those
that's
much
denser
than
what
we
see
in
Central
and
South
Oakland.
Currently,
where
we
have
dangerous
kind
of
two-story
buildings,
three-story
buildings
that
are
houses
converted
into
you
know,
barely
habitable
areas
that
mostly
students
live
in
like
we,
we
all
acknowledge
that
that
has
to
change,
and
one
way
to
do
that
is
to
allow
for
greater
density
in
in
those
areas
as
well.
M
I'll
say
that
in
some
of
these
conversations,
we've
had
really
almost
philosophical
conversations
about
what
is
what
is
the
definition
of
a
residential
community
and
to
some
people.
A
residential
Community
is
single
family
housing
and
to
some
people
they
can
Envision
a
residential,
very
vibrant,
a
very
cohesive
Community,
where,
where
people
live
in
denser
buildings,
where
people
live
in
higher
buildings
and
that
still
is
possible
to
feel
like
a
community
and
also
you
know
have
have
density
there.
M
So
but
I
also
there's
a
sort
of
kind
of
one
step
in
front
of
the
other
approach.
Here
we
can't
I,
don't
think
if
we
were
to
say
let's
turn
all
of
Oakland
into
a
Max
height
of
210
feet
or
400
feet
that
that
would
be.
That
would
bring
a
lot
of
comfort
to
to
the
existing
residents
either.
M
Who
knows?
Maybe
50
years
from
now,
that's
where
people
want
to
go
in
Oakland,
but
I
don't
think
we're
there
yet
so
I
really
do
think
this
strikes
the
balance.
It's
responsible,
it's
a
responsible
balance
between
what
those
who
want
to
see
greater.
M
You
know
an
innovation
district
and
those
who
are
long-standing
residents
allowing
for
you
know,
height,
step
downs
from
the
sort
of
downtown
portion
to
the
more
residential
portion
and
I
also
want
to
say,
like
no
one
zoning
bill,
just
like
no
one
development
can
solve
every
problem
in
Oakland
A
lot
of
what
we're
continuing
to
hear
is
we
want
more
investment
in
affordable
housing
there?
This
is
one
tool,
but
there's
many
other
tools
that
we
have
to
continue
to
keep
the
our
eye
on
and
to
push
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
M
People
want
some
people
want
grocery
stores.
People
want.
You
know
more
more.
The
universities
to
house
more
of
their
students
closer
to
campus
or
on
campus
people
want
Safe
Streets
to
walk
on
in
a
pleasant
pedestrian
experience.
People
want
a
community
center,
like
those
are
all
things
that
this
won't
totally
solve,
for
we
have
to
continue
to
work
outside
of
this
plan
as
well,
so
wholeheartedly
support
this
plan
and
I'm
happy
to
to
vote
on
it
today.
Q
Thank
you,
I'm,
just
going
to
speak
as
somebody
who's
actually
born
and
raised
in
Oakland
on
Fifth
Avenue
in
Oakland,
and
I
really
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
day
when
I
lived
on
Fifth
Avenue
and
there's
student
housing
there
now,
but
when
I
was
growing
up
around
the
bend
before
it
was
Lamar
before
it
was
Outdoor
Advertising
it
was
a
chicken
farm,
so
I
would
love
for
it
to
go
back
to
those
days,
but
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
see
those
so
I
I
want
to
say
that
I
do
think
that
there's,
although
I
think
a
lot
of
people
still
like
to
see
that
now,
but
but
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
there's
this
is
such
a
difficult,
difficult
area
and
I
and
I
I
love,
Oakland
and
you
know,
and
I
tried
to
get
it
in
my
district
when
we
redistricted
I'm,
like
you,
take
me
across
the
bridge.
Q
It
is
difficult
and
I
think
that
you've
done
a
great
job,
trying
to
bring
everyone's
together
and
all
their
opinions
and
but
I
also
don't
want
to
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
that
you
know
Carl
universities
in
this
mix
and
they
contribute
a
lot
also
to
the
Oakland
and
the
Hill
district
area
and
and
I
don't
want
to
I.
Don't
want
to
forget
that
they
that
they
have
a
lot
to
offer,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
say
that
our
universities
and
others
don't
contribute
so
much.
Unlike
other
people.
Q
I
really
do
value
and
see
what
they
they
bring
to
the
table
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
and
I
can't
imagine
Pittsburgh
without
them.
That
doesn't
mean
I.
Don't
think
that
I
want
them
to
do
more,
and
that
doesn't
mean
I.
Don't
want
them
to
do
better.
That
just
means
I
do
see
that
they
do
bring
a
lot
to
the
table,
but
I
would
love
for
the
conversation
to
include
how
they
can
be
pitting.
Q
The
universities
could
be
part
of
the
Housing
Solutions
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
I,
think
that
would
be
a
conversation
worth
having
and
and
I
would
even
give
more
property.
If
that
they
were
part
of
that
solution.
I
would
be
happy
to
do
something
like
that
and
then
I
also
like
councilman
Warwick,
want
them
to
look
at
other
parts
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
that
are
also
you
know,
worthy
of
investing
and
I.
Q
Y
Yeah
and
I
would
note,
especially
when
you
talked
about
you,
know
kind
of
the
institutions
and
the
role
in
housing.
You
know
your
your
idea.
There
was
one
that
was
definitely
echoed
by
residents
through
the
planning
process
and
is
a
recommendation,
not
a
zoning
recommendation
per
se,
but
a
recommendation
otherwise
for
us
to
work
towards.
Y
You
know
in
the
plan,
and
so
that
was
something
that
was
captured
in
the
plan
and
something
that
you
know
that
we'll
be
working
with
institutions
on
in
the
future.
So.
Q
That
is
great
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
and
I
want
to
thank
thank
all
of
you
and
thank
the
universities
for,
for
that
conversation
and
I
can't
wait
to
hear
what
comes
from
that.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
any
further
discussion,
if
not
I
just
want
to
thank
one.
Thank
you
all,
because
you
all
been
working
on
this
for
a
very
long
time.
I
also
want
to
thank
councilman
cross,
but
especially
I
want
to
thank
councilman
strasberger
for
working
very,
very
hard
and
tirelessly
over
the
last
few
months
to
create
what
is
probably
the
best
balance
possible
to
service
all
the
various
interests
and
needs
of
the
Oakland
Community.
So
thank
you,
councilwoman
with
that.
All
those
in
favor
say.

motion.
S
Just
brief
just
to
clarify,
since
it
is
Hayes
Woods,
this
is
a
house,
they
have
a
bridge,
they
have
a
driveway
bridge
that
goes
over
a
creek.
The
bridge
is
theirs,
but
they
can't
afford
to
repair.
It's
just
I
mean
it's
awful,
so
they
are
giving
a
piece
of
their
land
in
exchange
for
Access
through
a
bit
of
haze
woods.
So
that's
just
to
clarify
it's
a
very
small
piece
of
Park
and
that's
what
it's
for.
