honoring
the
longtime
service
of
a
couple
employees
in
the
city
controller's
office
and
honored

You

it's
something.
The
the
institutional
knowledge
that
we've
been
blessed
with
in
the
city
controller's
office
is
really
amazing.
With
long
time
employees
who
come
to
do
the
city's
business
every
day
and
really
do
help
taxpayers
protect
taxpayers
from
waste
and
Fraud
and
Abuse
Ronda
Rawlings
is
here
today
after
45
years
of
service
to
the

to
believe.

I'm,
going
to
read

Okay,
last
week
my
speech
was
cut
short.
There
seemed
to
be
a
problem
on
your
end,
because
I
could
hear
everything
from
your
side
and
I
was
not
muted
Shady
trees,
not
shady
deals
in
Bonaire.
According
to
the
Pennsylvania
Constitution,
the
purpose
of
government
is
for
the
peace
and
safety
and
happiness
of
the
people
they
serve.
The
Bonaire
Memorial
Green
Space
is
the
solution
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Bonaire
Community.
Without
that
there
is
no
valid
governance.
J
My
husband
died
a
year
ago
last
week.
He
died
shortly
after
serving
over
47
years
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
as
a
lifeguard
with
the
water
department
and
the
fire
Bureau.
This
was
read
at
his
funeral
retired
deputy
chief
Mike
Mullen
touched
the
lives
of
many
people.
His
uncompromising
dedication
to
his
sworn
duty
to
provide
for
the
safety
of
the
citizens
of
Pittsburgh
was
truly
exceptional
and
one
that
should
be
emulated
by
every
firefighter.
J
He
loves,
sharing
his
knowledge
of
firefighting
and
all
its
many
aspects
to
make
our
firefighters,
safer,
smarter
and
more
efficient
on
the
fire
ground.
Mike
knew
most
of
the
firefighters
on
the
entire
Pittsburgh
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
and
pursuited
more
knowledge.
His.
F
J
Will
serve
our
citizens
and
firefighters
for
years
to
come.
Michael
J
Mullen
lived
a
full
life
as
his
obituary,
who
accurately
describes
Mike
was
passionate
tireless
dedicated,
highly
conscientious
and
caring
well
done.
Michael
well
done
rest
in
peace.
My
friend
Pennsylvania
was
one
of
the
13
colonies
that
stood
against
the
tyranny
of
England.
I.
Assure
you
that
the
founding
fathers
of
the
United
States
did
not
think
that
the
people
were
childlike
mentalities.
They
could
not
make
their
own
choices.
We
do
not
consent
to
a
detrimental
building
remaining
to
Decay
the
community.
J
We
have
built
and
maintained
former
mayor
peduto
was
defeated
and
left
in
disgrace.
He
appointed
a
panel
that
claimed
that
the
Bonaire
School
building
should
remain.
We,
the
people
of
Bonaire,
have
driven
past
former
school
buildings
and
heard
the
stories
of
defecation
in
the
hallways
and
criminal
acts
around
those
buildings.
We,
the
people
say
no
to
any
use
of
the
school,
except
as
a
green
space.
J
I
Thank
you,

Global,
intelligenceociety.org,
American,
historical
Association,
Pittsburgh
city
council
and
myself,
and
the
global
intelligence.
Society
have
a
concern.
Number
one:
implementation
of
the
core
U.S
American
Declaration
of
Independence
1776
principle:
all
men
read
now
all
genetic
XX
females,
genetic
XY
males
are
created
equal.
I
This
Council
and
the
gis
and
myself
share
a
concern.
Number
two
for
the
institutionalization
of
the
core
U.S
American
Constitution
1789
principle:
We,
the
People
form
a
government
that
is
superior
unequal
to
other
forms
of
government.
We
will
do
better.
We
have
done
better
even
with
our
Awards
Global
intelligence.
I
Society
rlm
anti-equity
stress,
in
my
view,
is
more
consistent
with
one
and
two
by
anti-equity,
I
mean
Pro
equality
of
individual
existence,
and
so
one
and
pro-justified
inequality
from
experience
and
competition
and
therefore
too
Pittsburgh,
Council
and
Gainey
pro-equity
stress
is,
in
my
view,
less
consistent
with
one
and
two
1619
is
her
story.
I
Equity
some
individuals
institutions
are
less
just
therefore
less
deserving
equal
status
than
others.
This
implies
that
any
female,
just
because
she
is
female,
is
descriptively,
presumed
to
be
the
latter
and
any
male
represents.
The
former
ascribed
unjust,
sexist
male
Dom
individuals
and
institutions
not
deserving
equal
status
with
females
free
of
sexist
bias,
regardless
of
any
anti-sex
genderist
achievement
by
a
specific
male
I
am
one
of
those
people.
I
Equatorians
Pittsburgh
offices
of
council
and
mayor
simultaneously
negate
the
equality
of
one
by
ascribing
more
positive
F
over
M
identity
value
and
negate
the
Justified
inequality
of
two
by
assigning
less
positive
valuation
to
USA
over
non-usa
achievement
in
We
the
People
governance.
We
have
made
enormous
mistakes.
Nonetheless,
1619.
I
K
K
K
Haven't
we
learned
by
now
from
the
misleading
diagram
showing
how
good
coldheart
and
McKee
all
at
the
same
level
from
the
misleading
coast
guards
that
went
out
to
Residence
about
the
topic
of
the
hearing
and
from
the
confusion
over
one
Council
had
to
take
action
on
this
bill
that
Mr
Dash
will
sometimes
leave
important
facts
out.
What
was
not
explained
is
that
the
step
backs
he
mentioned
are
only
10
feet
deep.
K
It
means
the
building
would
start
at
65
feet
high
for
only
10
feet
back
then
rise
to
85
feet
for
only
10
feet
back
then
rise
to
210
feet,
a
20-foot
indentation
on
a
building
210
feet
high
that
could
be
a
block.
D
is
negligible.
He
would
have
us
believe
the
shot
would
only
be
cast
on
one
side
of
it.
The
Forbes
Avenue
site
that
the
20-foot
indentation
on
the
boulevard
of
the
Allies
would
block
his
shadow
on
that
side.
K
K
A
high
production
Zone,
given
as
the
reason
why
it's
okay
to
remove
the
protection
of
residential
compatibility
for
open
residents
is
an
insulting
replacement,
add
to
that
it
farm
for
area
ratio
is
being
removed
and
you
have
a
developer's
dream
and
that
last
Amendment
from
City
Planning
makes
it
even
worse.
New
zoning
uses
just
the
footprint
on
the
lot
and
that
last
Amendment
suggested
by
City
Planning,
essentially
ignores
even
that
by
allowing
the
building
to
overhang
the
sidewalks.
A
few
stories
up.
I,
don't
recall
that
being
a
request
of
the
Planning
Commission.
K
L
L
L
We're
not
faced
with
just
a
budgetary
matter
we're
faced
with
predictability,
knowing
what
council
probably
will
do
when
faced
with
a
problem.
You
haven't
done
a
thing
and
you
don't
even
know
where
to
start
I
have
a
man
with
55
years
of
experience,
ready
to
sit
down
and
give
you
his
wisdom
and
I
contributed
part
of
the
solution.
D
My
name
is
Ames
comparator
I
live
in
East
Allegheny
and
in
in
district
one
Presley,
Street
high-rise
come
to
you
today
about
one
about
the
police
and
the
budget,
and
two
also
about
turning
Stockton
Avenue
Asian.
As
you
know,
we
boarded
it
well,
all
all
of
the
city
agreed
to
board
it
off,
and
we
thank
you
for
that
in
the
now.
We
need
to
make
progress
on
that
as
well,
because
there
are
signs
there
as
well
that
indicate
we
have
biohazard
material
there.
D
That
needs
to
be
cleaned
up
and
just
guarding
that
off
with
The
Biohazard
material
inside.
It
is
really
a
public
health
hazard.
We
do
have
children
in
the
area.
It
is
right
across
from
the
Sue
Murray
pool.
What
I
would
like
to
see
done
in
regards
to
that
is
to
First,
of
course,
clean
up
The
Biohazard
material
safely,
and
then
after
we
accomplish
that,
turn
that
into
a
green
space
we
could
use
perennial
plants
like
chrysanthemums.
If
we've
got
them
in
a
big
enough
decent
size,
some
colors
that
would
complement
the
Sue
Murray
pull.
D
D
Much
like
the
building
that
they
use
to
train
in
I
know
that
there
was
something
here
on
Council
a
little
bit
before
months
before
that
there
was
supposedly
something
in
this
in
District
Four.
That
was
going
to
be
a
new
building
to
build
up.
That
was
never
when
I
had
citizens
Police
Academy,
even
the
assistant
chief,
did
not
know
about
that.
D
So
I
know
that
that
thing
was
just
in
in
terms
of
planning
alone
and
never
got
out
of
here.
If
you
want
to
do
something
constructive,
please
invest
in
our
police,
invest
in
their
training,
invest
in
the
things
that
they
have
to
use.
They
buy
their
stuff
out
of
pocket
so
that
they
can
have
the
appropriate
materials
reimburse
them.
D
M
Morning,
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
Billy
Vaughn
I,
just
want
to
say
so.
I
currently
live
in
councilman
Bobby,
Wilson's
district
and
I
have
a
community
space
in
Reverend,
burgess's,
District
I'm,
going
to
start
strategizing
resident-led,
like
advocacy,
work
to
help
strengthen
our
communities.
M
I
would
encourage
you
guys
I'm
going
to
be
going
into
every
district
and
Gathering
residents
in
all
of
your
districts.
I
would
encourage
you
to
come
to
the
meetings.
You're
invited
it's
peace,
it's
not
for
harm
or,
for
you
know
anything
against
you
guys
we're
trying
to
bridge
the
connection
between
local
government
and
other
generations
of
community
members
for
the
betterment
for
the
betterment
of
our
communities.
M
A
N
N
N
All
this
could
be
stopped
all
these
shootings.
All
these
killings
could
be
done
with
God.
All
things
are
possible,
but
you
people
won't
even
give
me
a
chance.
I
know:
I
was
ignorant
too
I'm.
Sorry,
but
I
live
in
the
spirit.
I,
don't
live
in
the
flesh,
I'm
showing
you
that
when
you
die
and
go
in
that
casket
in
the
grave
you're,
not
in
there
the
body
is
there.
The
spirit
lives
forever.
N
A
G
Good
morning
my
name
is
Yvonne:
F
Brown
I
live
at
715
Mercer
Street
up
in
the
Hill
district.
Now
last
week,
when
I
left
here,
I
was
on
the
elevator,
with
Mr,
Burgess
and
I
said
to
him
and
I
want
you
to
understand.
I
am
serious
when
I
said
to
him.
I
did
not
appreciate
it.
When
you
said
my
grandbaby,
it's
not
the
time
for
her
to
come
down
here
and
speak
and
he
went
on
to
say
coming
down
and
be
on
TV.
Let
me
tell
you
something
and
I'll
tell
all
of
you.
G
When
the
governor
came
here,
it
was
up
there
at
the
Civic
Arena
spot
I
had
heard
that
the
governor
90.5
listen
to
that
radio
station,
because
it
tells
you
about
city
council,
and
it
tells
you
sometime
about
this
government.
Where
is
Ariel
at
the
young
black
lady
I
haven't
heard
from
her,
and
she
used
to
give
us
information,
because
she
was
the
reason
why
I
was
able
to
speak
at
the
school
board
because
they
announced
it
and
on
90.5
they
were
going
to
have
the
meeting,
but
I
wanted
to
say
this
to
Mr.
G
Burgess
I
want
him
to
understand
that
when
I
came
down,
I
had
aside
Governor
Ridge,
so
Governor
I
mean
no,
not
rep,
not
that
one
Governor
wolf.
So
Governor
wolf
is
looking
at
me
with
this
sign
and
it
has
on
there
and
I'm
explaining
that
how
the
police
went
to
Dave's
field.
The
man
that
sells
cars
on
Fifth
Avenue
after
Hopper
went
to
jail,
Harper
went
to
jail
and
they
came
down
who
you
got
now
like
that
Ghostbuster,
because
they
would
mess
with
him
all
the
time.
Harper
would
tell
him
leave
him
alone.
G
Well,
now
Harper
was
gone.
They
went
down
there
and
they
tasered
that
man
in
his
business.
This
is
a
black
businessman.
They
taser
that
man.
This
is
what
the
police
did.
I
told
the
governor
when
he
asked
for
that
sign.
I
had
on
there
about
Dave's
field,
Dave
Fields
what
they
did.
He
said:
Mrs
Brown
may
have
this
side.
I
said
no
Governor.
This
sign
is
for
my
grandchildren
to
learn
how
to
fight
for
their
rights.
Understand
Mr
Burgess,
you
might
probably
home
watching
so,
but
you
need
to
understand.
G
I
keep
saying,
give
us
reverence
what
references
do
he
should
be
called
consummate.
He
should
not
be
called
reverend
because
he
puts
a
bad
name
on
the
reverence.
I
am
fair
warning.
Reverend
Burgess
I've
asked
the
Reverend
to
come
down
and
speak
in
front
of
this
this
group,
so
they
understand
what
a
reverend
speaks
like,
what
a
reverend
does
for
the
people.
You've
thrown
us
away
up
there
in
the
building.
G
915
Mercer
Street,
you've
thrown
us
away
like
trash,
but
this
Reverend
comes
to
us
and
he
brings
the
word
of
God
and
he
brings
money
gifts
for
him,
the
money
that
we
put
in
church.
He
has
a
job,
he
said,
I,
don't
use
none
of
your
money.
He
gave
Christmas
gifts,
he
gave
New
Year's
get
gifts
he
gave
if
you
needed
help
with
your
rent.
G

There
are
in
this
act
and
it's
listed
on
in
the
pen,
Dot
Page
the
S
curve
at
the
bottom
of
the
coast.
No
no
semi
shouldn't
be
coming
up
there.
The
stop
sign
in
the
middle
of
both
dead
I
was
in
an
access
fan
on
Sunday
and
the
guy
wasn't
familiar
with
the
place
he
applied
the
brakes
in
the
middle
of
that
steep
hill,
and
my
chair
moved
Park
Coast.
No,
no,
they
take
into
all
that
consideration
and
technically
they
shouldn't
even
be
having
semis
coming
up.
O
Just
last
week
we
had
one
stuck
under
the
trail:
railroad
trellis,
that's
a
dangerous
route
for
the
kids
to
walk
anyway.
The
only
safe
route
in
beach
view
is
Route,
19,
West
Liberty
to
Pauline
it's
big.
You
can
do
that.
O
Wenzel
kind
of
iffy
there's
been
trucks
stuck
underneath
the
trolley
trellis,
and
these
intersections
both
dead
and
Coast.
We
please
we
need
the
yellow
push
button
flashing,
light
whatever,
but
please
stop
letting
these
semis
come
up
through
Coast
Avenue,
the
state.
You
can
fill
out
the
form
I.
Have
it
right
here
and
you
literally
get
into
a
loaded
semi
and
go
driving
right
up
there
and
see
what
they
have
see.
What
happens?
Any
semi
driver
is
going
to
tell
you
no.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
further
speakers
wishing
to
address
City
Council?
