Thank
you
please
rise
for
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
remain
standing
for
a
moment
of
silence
during
your
moment
of
silence.
I
ask
that
you
keep
Albert
berlikowski
the
past
State
commander
of
the
disabled
veterans
resident
of
Westwood
in
your
thoughts
he
passed
away
last
night,
so
Albert
bertikowski,
if
you
know,
did
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
in
the
state
of
Pennsylvania
across
the
country
for
disabled
veterans,
so
our
thoughts
are
with
Albert
and
his
family
I
pledge
allegiance.
B
F
B
B
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
maybe
before,
city
council
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
when
you
are
called
to
speak,
please
state
your
name
in
neighborhood
for
the
record.
You'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
Our
first
registered
speaker
is
Dr
Ronald
Lynn,
Miller,
Dr
Miller.
D
profanity
was
permitted
right
Council
across
you
should
remember
that
you
allowed
that
you
allowed
that
to
be
directed
at
a
citizen
from
another
citizen.
So
that's
a
contradiction.
A
concern
of
Pittsburgh
city
council
is
food
inequity,
as
evidenced
in
its
support
for
the
food
Justice
fund,
addressed
by
more
than
20
public
commenters
5
July
2023
at
the
standing
committee
meeting
of
this
Council.
D
Access
to
food
is
a
first
priority.
Survival
need
basketball
is
not
problems
with
fjf
problem,
one
where
was
Mr
Gainey
basketballers
Gainey
is
here.
Citizens
for
food
Equity
gaining
is
not
here.
What
is
the
anti-citizen?
Where
was
Dr
Miller
I
was
here:
I
listened
to
everyone
in
person.
I
am
pro-citizen
whether
I
agree
or
disagree
problem
two.
D
Why
use
the
word
apartheid?
There
is
no
definition
offered
of
food
apartheid.
This
is
divisive.
It's
a
lie.
It's
anti-unity
apartheid
is
from
South
Africa,
where
it
was
legal
to
separate
whites
from
non-whites
in
institutions
and
individuals,
but
there
is
no
Pittsburgh
law,
legalizing
Shop
and
Save
in
Giant
Eagle
to
sell
to
whites
over
non-whites.
D
This
is
again
anti-unity
in
his
anti-business
Shop
and
Save
in
Giant.
Eagle
are
businesses
they're
in
the
business
of
selling
food
for
profit,
they'll
go
where
they
get
the
most
profit
and
they
will
leave
when
the
theft
is
present
problem
three,
where
were
pittsburghers
of
Asian
and
Latin
descent,
there's
nobody
among
Asians
and
and
Latins
in
in
Pittsburgh,
who
needs
food.
D
No
Pittsburgh.
Descendants
of
pre-columbian
peoples
need
food.
On
the
one
hand,
none
on
the
fjf
on
the
other,
one
of
the
commenters
Via
Zoom,
objected.
I,
agree
that
there
should
be
and
problem
four
is.
How
do
you
operationalize
mathematize
the
initiative
to
achieve
quantifiable
food
Equity?
How
many
individuals
in
each
one
of
your
districts
is
starving,
low
below
500
calories
per
day?
I?
Don't
think
you
know:
where
are
they
and
how
long
have
they
been
on
this
starvation
level?

According
to
the
Pennsylvania
Constitution,
the
purpose
of
government
is
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
people
they
serve.
The
Bon
Air
memorial
Green
Space
is
the
solution
to
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Bonaire
Community.
Without
that
there
is
no
Valley
governance,
Michael
J,
Mullen
reflection,
retire,
deputy
fire
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.
G
He
loves,
sharing
his
knowledge
of
firefighting
in
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.
G
He
worked
tirelessly
but
also
energetically,
his
entire
career.
In
pursuit
of
more
knowledge.
His
legacy
will
serve
our
citizens
and
firefighters
for
years
to
come.
Michael
J
Mullen
lived
a
full
life,
as
his
obituary,
so
accurately
described.
Mike
was
passionate
tireless
dedicated,
highly
conscientious
and
caring
well
done.
Michael
well
done
rest

peace.

G
Former
mayor
Pete
paduto
was
selected
to
be
a
member
of
a
global
group
of
Mayors.
It
is
clear
that
he
disgraced
himself
with
initiatives
and
actions
that
call
into
question
his
loyalties
to
our
city,
state
and
Country.
How
dare
he
appoints
aboard?
That
said,
the
detrimental
School
building
should
remain.
They
did
not
care
about
the
property,
value
and
quality
of
life
issues
that
harm
the
Bon
Air
community.
G
The
Pittsburgh
Public
School
stated
that
the
World
Health
Organization
guidance
is
the
reason
they
closed
their
the
schools.
For
months,
the
who
is
an
unelected,
diplomatically
immune,
tax-exempt
group
84
of
funding
for
for
it
is
from
external
commercial
sources.
The
Bill
and
Melinda
Gates
Foundation
is
an
example
of
billions
being
given
to
fund
their
personal
agenda.
G
H
I'm
Marcia
Bandy
Squirrel
Hill
chair
one
for
the
Pittsburgh
for
Cedar
Coalition
I'm,
here
to
request
a
full-time
executive
director
for
the
gender
Equity
commission,
the
gec
in
2017,
when
the
gec
was
established,
anupama
Jain
was
hired
part-time
to
lead
the
commission.
She
documented
her
work
as
required
and
over
the
course
of
a
couple
of
years
she
went
from
half
time
to
full
time.
The
city
doesn't
do
that.
Lately,
the
workload
required
it
Anu
didn't
just
attend
gec
meetings
and
act.
As
a
conduit
between
the
commission
and
the
mayor's
office.
H
She
was
an
ambassador
reaching
out
to
community
organizations
responding
to
requests
to
speak
attending
local
events
and
making
the
gec's
existence
known
and
understood
as
the
mayor's
commitment
to
improving
gender
Equity
city-wide,
she
kept
the
gec
website
fresh,
published
a
monthly
newsletter
and
did
it
and
even
did
a
TED
talk.
She
answered
calls
Justified
and
advocated
for
the
budget
needed
to
keep
the
work
moving,
followed
up
on
actions
coming
out
of
the
commission.
The
gec
was
becoming
known,
respected,
extremely
successful.
Each
public
meeting
had
guests
attending.
H
It
was
normal
to
have
to
bring
in
extra
chairs.
During
the
public
comment
time,
guests
would
highlight
what
they
were
working
on,
ask
for
support
or
guidance,
or
some
would
just
come
to
observe
this
level
of
Outreach
to
organizations.
Foundations
and
corporations
requires
an
executive
director
level
after
a
year
and
a
half
without
a
dedicated
executive
director,
we
have
lost
all
but
two
Community
appointed
Commissioners,
these
weren't
retired
people
looking
for
a
way
to
fill
their
day.
They
worked
full
time
and
were
there
to
contribute
and
offer
their
experience
in
equity
issues.
H
H
Which
never
was
fully
completed,
including
Hispanic,
Asian,
Pacific
and
Pacific
Islanders
immigrants,
Muslims
and
others,
and
work
closely
with
the
lgbtqia
plus
commission
to
validate
prioritize
and
seek
input
on
what
they
believe
would
make.
The
most
difference
mayor
Gainey
has
said
that
he
plans
to
direct
City
departments
to
consider
gender
equity
and
to
implement
programs
accordingly
and
I
believe
he
has.
That
approach
will
not
end
city-wide
systemic
discrimination
against
women.
H
It
takes
a
dedicated
effort
to
identify
and
address
implicit,
biases
and
budgets
and
programs
and
to
work
with
local
organizations,
foundations
and
corporations
to
expand
gender
Equity
Focus
beyond
what
the
city
can
do.
The
mayor
has
programs.
He
wants
to
roll
out
a
full-time
executive
director
with
a
thriving
gender
Equity
commission
can
help
him
be
successful.
Yes,
the
gender
analysis
pointed
out
the
challenge
that
Pittsburgh
has,
but
by
appointing
an
executive
director
to
lead
a
newly
invigorated,
gender
Equity
commission
will
highlight.

My

I
live
at
750,
Mercer

that's
the
top
of

I
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
cookie
Coleman,
the
previous
city
policeman,
who
brought
attention
is
in
it's
in
the
couriers,
a
picture

in
the
picture
of
Reggie
house
and
they're
down
here
or
those
streets
you
made
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill,
these
new
streets.
We
were
having
drag
racing
every
night
and
the
police
seemed
to
be
ignoring
it.
E
Well
when
she
called
when
she
said
a
press
conference
which
I
didn't
make,
but
do
you
have
a
picture
of
her
picture
of
her
and
Reggie
and
I
would
talk
to
Reggie
and
he
was
saying
the
police
stepped
up
and
I
want
to
give
you
praise
and
honor
to
the
police,
because
he
said
they
came
out
and
forced
full
force.
They
had
left
and
people
came.
They
came
back
three
roads.
They
had
three
cars
right
there
and
stopped
them.
Thank
you
police,
because
we
have
to
listen
to
that.

be
able
to

Finally,
the

realized
that
we
need
more
transparency
and
regular
periodic
reviews
of

voting
roles
and
new

are
needed
before
the
next

is
elected

We
pay
thousands
of
dollars
for

Authority
and
I
can't
think
of
a
better
choice
to
replace
our
finance
chair
in
that
seat.
B
Thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
thank
our
finance
chair
for
his
willingness
to
give
up
that
seat,
and
he
said
he
wanted
to
stay
on.
He
was
staying
on
and
he
and
Peter
seem
to
work
really
well
together,
so
it
just
seemed
like
a
natural
and
we're
putting
tasking
him
with
more
and
more
lately.
So
I
think
he
was
okay
with
giving
up
one
more
meeting.
So
thank
you,
councilman
Lavelle
and
thank
you
Peter
for
your
willingness
to
serve
with
that
said
all
in
favor
all
right,
any
opposed
abstentions.

Bill
1662
resolution
authorizing

Department
of
mobility
and

on

of
the

Entering

J
Bill
number
1663
resolution
providing
for
a
reimbursement
agreement
with
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Transportation
for
costs
associated
with
the
preliminary
design
phase
of
the

as
the

lot
Bridge

This
resolution
serves
to
authorize
only
the

at
a
cost
not
to
exceed
one
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
dollars.
Future

project-specific
service
agreement.
B
Thank
you
for
the
reading
the
title
of
bills.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
bills
I'm
just
going
to
add
for
the
Woodruff
Street
for
the
bridge?
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
did
talk
to
the
residents
in
my
district
in
Mount
Washington,
especially
in
Duquesne
Heights
part
of
Banksville,
and
they
do
have
some
concerns.
B
They
want
to
make
sure
that
there
are
traffic
officers
moving
traffic
along
so
that
mount
Washington's
not
so
effective,
because
they
also
have
issues
with
mcguardo
roadway
and
some
other
roads
that
we
need
some
some
work
done
on
too.
So
they
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
police
officers
and
I
did
talk
to
director
Lucas
about
that,
making
sure
that
the
traffic
is
moving,
because
that's
also
where
our
SWAT
trucks
are
along
that
road
or
SWAT
or
bomb
squad
motorcycle
officers.
B
You
know
special
deployment
is
there,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
traffic
backup
and
the
help
can
get
to
people
when
need
be.
So
with
that
said,
I
did
I
did
speak
to
the
director
and
I
feel
confident
that
she's
okay
with
this
so
with
that
said,
is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
of
the
bills
are
now
ready
for
final
action,
all
in
favor
of
the
passage
but
I
when
the
name
is
called
those
opposed
will
vote
know
where
the
clerk
please
call
the
rule.

B
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
will
keep
my
my
remarks.
Brief.
I
first
would
like
to
recognize
the
work
of
of
everyone:
our
members,
my
colleagues,
our
budget
office,
the
administration
and
the
Ura
for
extensive
discussion
and
a
willingness
to
answer
all
the
questions
that
members
had
around
this
appropriation
and
also
the
willingness
to
entertain
a
series
of
amendments
that
were
crafted
from
councilwoman,
grossen
I.
Think
through
our
finance,
chair,
councilman,
Lavelle
and
I,
especially
want
to
recognize
Deputy
Mayor
Pollock.
M
He
has
been
very
attentive
to
to
concerns
that
I
had
and
we
had
multiple
conversations
around
garnering.
My
support
for
the
passage
of
this
bill
and
I
know
how
incredibly
busy
he
is
and
the
kinds
of
things
he
must
have
on
his
plate
at
any
given
point
in
time,
but
he
always
made
time
to
to
take
the
call
and
have
the
conversation
with
me
to
assuage
any
concerns
that
I
might
have
so
I
am
voting
in
the
affirmative
today.
M
I
would
be
disingenuous
to
say
that
I
don't
still
have
some
concerns
or
reservations,
but
I
am
going
to
proceed
with
the
with
a
positive
recommendation
and
again
I
want
to
just
recognize
the
work
of
everyone
over
the
past,
I
guess
three
or
four
weeks,
even
now,
to
bring
this
bill
to
fruition.
So
thank
you
for
long
comments.
Madam
president.
K
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
first
want
to
say
my
I
can't
support
this
today
for
for
multiple
reasons,
but
I
want
to
make
clearance,
no
reflection
on
the
Ura.
It's
no
reflection
on
affordable
housing.
It's
simply
looking
at
it
from
a
business
point
of
view.
You
know
we
are
committing
to
62
and
a
half
million
dollars,
giving
the
Ura
the
right
to
take
out
a
loan
and
committing
to
pay
it
back
over
25
years.
K
But
we
don't
know
if
that
principal
amount
is
going
to
be
25
million
or
40
million,
and
we
don't
have
a
say-so
in
that,
and
that
really
is
the
problem
for
me.
If
the
Ura
were
to
accept
a
loan,
that
is
for
25
million
dollars
and
we
were
paying
62
and
a
half
million
dollars
on
it.
Well,
that
would
be
a
tragedy
to
me.
K
B
I'm
just
going
to
thank
all
Council
for
working
so
hard
on
this
and
I
want
to
all
of
us,
have
some
a
little
bit
of
apprehension
and-
and
we
would
be
not
be
totally
honest
with
the
public.
We
didn't
say
that
we
had
some
apprehension
about
it.
Mostly
it's
about
voting
for
something
we're
not
seeing
yet
and
I
just
want
to
say.
I
think
that
I
also
have
a
bigger
apprehension
is
what
I
said
somebody
my
I'm
more
nervous
about
the
idea
of.
B
If
we
don't
do
this,
that
it
could
have
the
negative
impact
on
people
that
are
looking
for
some
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
all
of
our
neighborhoods
are
seeing
escalating
cost
and
housing
across
our
area.
We
just
built
a
I
think
it
was
44
or
46
units
in
Ferry,
with
their
building
they're,
not
even
built
yet
and
already
the
waiting
list
is
tremendous.
B
So
that's
for
senior
citizens
only
so
I
can't
imagine
what
is
what
it
is
like
Citywide
and
I
I
know
now:
I'm
trying
to
help
people
I
think
every
one
of
us
get
calls
in
our
office
trying
to
help
people
that
are
looking
for
housing
and
in
Terror.
I
mean
terrified
that
they're
going
to
be
out
on
the
street
and
we
a
lot
of
us
know
people
who
have
lost
their
homes
and
we
do
try
to
work
through
all
that.
B
So
it
was
the
fear
of
what
is
known,
not
the
fear
of
what
was
unknown
to
for
me.
That
made
me
decide
that
I
was
going
to
vote
for
this.
So
with
that
said,
the
Bill's
not
ready
for
final
action
well
David
passes
but
I
when
the
name
is
cult
and
I
do
want
to
thank
all
the
council
members
I
want
to
thank
councilman
gross
for
putting
amendments
forward.
B
I
think
councilman
Lavelle,
who
worked
July
4th
until
about
11
30
at
night,
sending
stuff
back
and
forth
trying
to
get
some
amendments
together
too,
and
making
sure
that
we
were
all
agreeable.
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
thank
Jake
Pollock
for
coming
to
our
my
office
to
meet
with
everyone
to
try
to
get
to
a
better
place,
but
individually,
I
want
to
thank
councilwoman
Warwick
also
for
coming
into
the
meeting.
I
want
to
individually.
Thank
all
the
members
because
at
some
point
throughout
this
process,
everyone
has
been
part
of
the
discussion
and
part
of
the
solutions.
B
So
thank
you
all
for
for
everything
and
councilman
coghill
I
want
to
thank
you
for
holding
us
accountable,
making
sure
that
you
share
your
concerns
and,
and
hopefully
we'll
do
better
within
with
the
next
one.
So
that
makes
you
have
a
better
Comfort
level
than
you're.
K
B
K
F
F
B
You
the
bills
haven't
received.
The
bill
haven't
received
the
legally
required
number
of
votes
it's
finally
passed
and
that
moves
us
on
to
our
emotions
and
resolutions
have
a
few
meeting
announcements
on
Wednesday
July
12th,
beginning
at
9
30
a.m.
Council

the
Planning

the

B
I
also
want
to
mention
that
we
have
I've
talked
with
Madam
clerk
she's,
going
to
put
forward
the
appointment
for
karisha
Kubiak
to

Council

We'll

a
chance

so

can
ask
those
questions
publicly
and
we
are
I'm
waiting
for
an
opinion
from
the
law
department
for
another
appointment
and
as
soon
as
we're
done
with
those
we'll
have
further
discussion
with
everyone
about
it.
Councilman
Warwick,
sorry,.
O
Yes,
thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
say
so.
I
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
the
past
three
Fridays
there
have
been
shootings
in
Hazelwood
one
on
flowers,
then
in
Glen
Hazel,
and
just
this
past
Friday
below
the
tracks
in
that
one,
a
14
year
old,
was
shot
in
the
legs.
O
Apart
from
that
injury,
miraculously
no
one
else
was
injured,
but
I
I.
You
know,
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
I
think
it's
important
to
acknowledge
for
the
residents
there
that
this
is
not
okay,
that
it's
very
frightening,
that
this
is
not
normal
and
it
should
never
feel
normal
and
I
spoke
with
Chief
of
Staff
wheelie
and
he
is
going
to
work
with
the
mayor's
office
for
a
response
which
I
greatly
appreciate.
O
At
any
rate
free
for
years,
these
instances
in
his
would
have
just
been
nothing
more
than
a
blip
on
the
news,
and
that
is
not
okay,
so
we're
hoping
to
at
the
very
least
change
that
just
to
let
the
community
know
that
we
do
care
and
I
very
much
appreciate
the
Mayors
and
and
Chief
of
Staff
wheatley's.
O
Willingness
to
work
together
on
that
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
you
know
in
a
district,
where
we've
seen
one
of
the
worst
incidents
of
mask
on
violence,
you
know
the
Tree
of
Life
shooting
we
need
to
start
focusing
as
well
on
on
these
incidences
that
are
literally
happening
every
weekend.
O
So
anyway,
that's
all
from
me.
Thank
you,
appreciate.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
two
things
I
probably
should
have
put
in
my
remarks
that
I,
forgotten
and
I'm
going
to
put
them
in
now.
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
that
members
struggled
with
the
last
bill
on
the
agenda
was
our
duty
as
fiscal
agents
of
the
city
and
wanting
to
be
it's
not
the
spirit.
I've
said
that
so
many
times,
I
want
to
reinforce
that,
not
the
spirit
of
the
bill.
It's
the
the
the
concern
and
thank
God.
M
We
do
have
concern
this
fiscal
fiduciary
agents
of
this
city,
that
the
decisions
that
we're
making
here
are
sound
and
responsible
and
borrowing
money
at
this
time
is.
L
M
K
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
welcome
Peter
award.
He
attended
our
first
meeting.
You
know,
I,
think
he
I
Echo
your
thoughts,
councilman
Krause,
I,
think
he'll
be
good
for
the
board.
Yeah
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
administration
for
finding
funds
to
at
least
purchase
a
few
vehicles
to
stop
the
bleeding.
You
know
it's
almost
like
a
piece
of
bubble
gum
in
the
dam
right
now,
but
at
the
same
time
you
know
they
made
the
effort
and
I
I
applaud
that
effort.
K
Typically
and
I,
don't
know
if
Peter
was
there
last
meet.
If
we
went
over
this
last
meeting,
but
it's
a
city
of
our
size
and
our
Public
Safety
and
our
Public
Works
departments,
it
should
be
24
million
dollars
a
year
to
keep
the
fleet
up
and
running
steady
and
where
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
them.
Breaking
down.
We
approved
6
million.
Last
year
the
authority
asked
for
24.
We
approved
six,
so
so
there's
a
long
way
to
go
this.
K
I
Somewhere
around
2006,
2007
I,
don't
remember,
we
began
to
talk
about
a
city
for
all
and
we
first
start
talking
about
it.
You
know
we
were
a
voice
crying
in
the
wilderness
over
time,
mayor
peduto
and
Dan
Gilman,
and
then
mayor
Gainey
all
adopted
the
slogan
that
we
began
to
talk
about.
First,
and
they
say,
imitation
is
the
best
form
of
flarity,
and
so
I
am
as
as
now
as
I
look
at
our
work
and
we
see
many
of
the
things
we've
articulated
for
decades.
I
I
How
long
yeah
we've
been
for
six
years
kind
of
quietly
behind
the
scenes,
and
and
so
certainly
we're
proud
that
the
administration
is
following
our
lead
and
implementing
the
ideas
that
we
have
put
forward?
That's
great,
but
I
was
I've.
Had
some
visitors,
you
know,
I
was
driving
through
our
city
and
we
brought
me
back
to
you
know
in
Gray.
Do
something
great
with
with
Bakery
Square,
which
we'll
complement
Homewood
larmer.
I
Let
me
do
the
thing
that
I
want
to
remind
you
of,
and
I
may
not
be
here
to
remind
you
is
that
we
are
city
of
all.
It's
not
and
I
I
reject
segregation
of
any
form.
I
regret.
I
I
a
thousand
percent
reject
building,
affordable
housing
in
concentrated
areas
being
building
all
affordable
housing
anywhere.
I
I,
reject
that
a
thousand
percent
that
segregation
and
that
that
that
that
that
will
just
damn
the
children
to
a
life
of
poverty
and
violence
and
crime
and
I
I'll,
never
I
would
never
support
it
and
anyone
who
does
is
Neanderthal
in
their
thinking.
But
what
I
want
to
say
to
our
city
and
to
all
of
us
here?
I
I
Our
goal
is
to
create
every
neighborhood
to
be
mixed
income
and
stable
and
have
resources
and
amenities,
and
so
for
for
those
of
us
I
who
advocate
for
poor
communities,
because
you
know
I
represent
the
largest
poor
communities
largest
swath
of
poor
communities
in
the
city,
even
though
I
advocate
for
Homewood
and
and
and
and
and
Lincoln
Limington
and
larmer
and
llama
is
on
its
way
up.
It
should
never
be
an
opposition
to
Shadyside
and
I
made
that
mistake.
Sometimes
in
my
past
my
language
was
that
of
adversarial
right,
because
I
was
so.
I
You
know
I'm
I'm,
dealing
with
you,
know:
homicides
daily,
weekly
I'm
doing
with
you,
know
third
world
country
situations
and
in
my
passion,
to
rebuild
these
communities
in
my
earlier
Council.
Today's
you
know
when
I
saw
Shadyside
scroll,
Hill,
South,
Side,
Flats
I
was
envious
of
what
they
had
right
and
what's
going
on
in
the
strip
district,
and
the
rapid
development
I
was
envious,
and
so
my
messaging
was
was
the
pit
communities
against
each
other.
I
Now,
in
the
Twilight
of
my
career,
you
know,
I,
don't
see
it
that
way
right,
it's
really
of
of
of
being
complementary
is
how
can
we
bring
the
public
private
side
and
the
community
side,
those
three-legged
stools
together
to
rebuild
communities
last
but
not
least,
and
I
say
that
I,
probably
people
ask
me
people
it's
funny
now
that
you
know
I'm,
I'm,
probably
retiring
from
public
life.
People
keep
asking
me
about
my
legacy.
You
know
it's
been
funny.
I
I
get
in
grocery
stores,
I
get
it
all
the
time
and
I
laugh
because
my
legacy
I've
been
the
pastor
of
a
church
for
40
years,
I've
been
a
professor
for
32
years
at
one
college,
I've
only
done
counsel
for
16
years,
but
none
of
them
are
my
legacy
and
I
laugh
because
it's
not
my
legacy
I
believe
my
legacy
is
my
family.
I
am
most
proud
of
my
children.
I
My
legacy
is
my
children
and
I
will
then
use
this
selfless
plug
that
over
the
Friday
and
Saturday
my
son
and
his
bride,
his
new
wife
both
earned
their
phds
and
so
and
they
are
both
Now
assistant
professors
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh,
and
so
I
am
both
tenure
track
professors,
so
I
am
extremely
proud.
My
leg
is
Dr
Alvarez
and
Dr
Burgess,
my
daughter-in-law
and
my
son.
That's
my
legacy.
I
Is
my
children
and
their
success
and
and
hopefully
they're
continuing
this
work
to
be
servants
to
give
back
to
the
community
and
to
be
a
blessing
to
other
people.
If
they
do
that,
that
will
be
my
legacy,
not
little
thing
I've
done,
and
so
that's
it
I
I
am
I'm.
This
council
did
a
great
thing
today.
It
took
us
eight
years
to
do
it.
It's
a
great
thing
and
I
I
expect
greater
things
from
this
Council
moving
forward.
Thank
you
for
this
moment
for
the
old
guy.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
Burgess.
Anything
else
remembers
I'm,
just
going
to
say
a
couple
things.
First,
congratulations
on
your
sons.
They
are
amazing.
I
know
your
sons
helped
my
son,
so
thank
you
very
much
and
councilman
Cog
Hill.
Thank
you
for
advocating
for
the
vehicles
for
so
long
and
for
working
with
the
administration
to
make
sure
that
those
happen
and
thank
you,
councilman,
Burgess
and
Laval
for
your
leadership
over
the
years
about
how
affordable
housing
and
thank
you
to
the
mayor's
office
for
bringing
it
to
fruition.
B
So
is
that
good
for
everybody,
but
I
do
want
to
say
councilman,
Warwick,
I,
think
all
of
us
are
feeling
the
pain
of
what's
happening
in
terms
of
violence
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
I.
Think
we
all
see
different
solutions
in
different
different
ways.
I
actually
think.
At
this
point
we
need
to
worry
about
what
we're
doing
with
our
policing
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
I.
Think
we
need
our
numbers
up.
B
Don't
think?
That's
the
answer.
I
think
that
he
wants
to
stop.
It
he's
one
person
it's
going
to
take
us
as
a
city
working
together
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
address
these
issues
and
different
and
look
at
things
and
be
open
to
looking
at
things
in
different
ways.
So
the
kids
are
not
being
shot
on
the
street,
so
parents
aren't
worrying
about
their
kids,
walking
down
the
street
or
going
to
school
or
going
home,
so
schools
aren't
getting
in
lockdown
and
putting
kids
in
traumatic
situations.
B
You
know
constantly
and
so
I
think
and
overall
we
need
to
have
a
real
conversation
with
our
mayor
with
other
people,
including
DHS
and
others,
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do
a
little
bit
differently,
but
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
services
and
mental
health
treatment
to
people
that
really
need
it
and
I
want
to
thank
Ricky
Moody
on
our
side
of
the
hall,
who
has
been
really
amazing.
Getting
things
out
to
the
public
on
our
side
of
the
house.
B
Think
that's
more
than
anything.
That's
what
we
want
to
do.
One
give
people
hope
that
we're
all
working
on
this
together
and
we're
putting
them
first,
not
our
politics,
I
think
that's
what
they
care
about.
Anything
else
remembers.
That's
it
kind
of
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
and
adjourn
the
meeting.
There's
nobody
absent
so.
