A
D
A
Thank
you.
Our
next
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
our
speakers
of
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are,
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted
after
you
recall,
please
restate
your
name
and
neighborhood
for
the
record.
You'll
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
Our
first
registered
speaker
is
Naomi
Mullen.
E
Here
I
honor,
my
husband,
who
is
a
true
public
servant.
He
started
in
the
1970s
as
a
lifeguard,
then
the
water
department
and
then
from
1980
on
until
the
very
last
minute
he
was
allowed
to
work
at
age
65
in
2021
Bay
trees,
not
shady
deals
from
Vania.
This
is
for
you
Michael.
The
Bon
Air
Elementary
School
building
once
was
a
shining
example
of
what
a
City
public
school
could
be.
Instead,
the
public
school
board
has
chosen
to
squander
this
building.
E
We,
the
property
owners,
taxpayers,
voters
and
caretakers
of
our
neighborhood
are
the
real
stakeholders
we
say
take
it
down.
We
do
not
consent
to
a
detrimental
building
remaining
to
Decay
the
community.
We
have
built
and
maintained
former
mayor
paduzzo
was
defeated
and
left
in
disgrace.
He
appointed
a
panel
that
claimed
the
Bonaire
Elementary
School
building
should
rename
we,
the
people
of
Bonaire,
have
driven
past
former
school
buildings
and
heard
the
stories
of
species
in
the
hallway
and
criminal
acts
around
those
buildings.
E
We,
the
people
say
no
to
any
use
of
the
schools,
except
as
a
green
space.
Here's
the
situation,
an
excellent
school,
was
closed.
The
building
has
become
a
threat
and
a
detrimental
harm.
It
should
be
condemned
and
sold
to
the
city
for
a
dollar.
It
must
be
torn
down,
parks
and
trees.
Pittsburgh
fund
taxes
need
to
be
used
to
make
it
a
green
space,
the
residents
of
Bonaire
care
for
it
as
volunteers.
E
E
Labonia
Memorial
green
state
is
the
solution
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
also
on
our
community,
without
that
there
is
no
valid
governance.
This
is
from
my
husband's
funeral.
We've
got
tired.
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.
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
might.
D
C
C
How
is
the
city
during
a
curfew
for
an
already
marginalized
population
of
people
to
add
a
curfew
of
10
pm?
You
have
now
criminalized
wanting
to
be
outdoors,
but
nowhere
to
play
and
nothing
to
do
because
recreation
centers
across
the
city
have
been
closed
for
a
long
time
in
these
marginalized
communities.
C
C
I
would
also
like
to
remember
Tyree
Nichols
Michaela
Bryant
from
Ohio
Jalen
Walker,
also
from
Ohio
Keenan
Anderson
from
California
and
a
host
of
other
people
who
have
died
at
the
hands
of
police
brutality
before
the
cameras
were
rolling.
There
was
also
David
Streeter,
Bernard
Rogers
Jerry
Jackson
and
my
beloved
brother
Jerome
Smith,
who
also
died
with
Michelle
Rankin
of
a
officer
who
was,
in
their
opinion,
chasing
an
assailant
for
a
non-violent
crime
throughout
the
streets
of
Pittsburgh,
erratically
driving
caused
the
death
of
Jerome
and
Michelle
Rankin.
A
F
My
name
is
Yvonne
S
brown
I
live
at
715,
Mercer
Street,
that's
Pittsburgh,
15219
at
the
top
of
Bedford
I,
come
today
to
try
to
say
goodbye
to
a
couple
of
people.
That
meant
a
lot
to
me.
First
I
wanted
to
say
that
we
had
an
elder.
Her
name
was
Mary
Christine
Cole.
She
was
96
years
old.
She
lived
in
Katy
irvis
tires.
She
passed,
she
had
six
grown
children
all
elders,
but
at
her
funeral
she
did.
They
did
something.
I
had
never
seen
before.
They
took
the
family.
F
That
was
the
children,
the
grandchildren
and
great
grands,
where
they
brought
a
crown
and
they
put
it
on
their
head
and
they
were
saying:
there's
a
song
I'm
going
to
see
the
king
I,
don't
know
whether
in
your
churches
or
not,
but
in
our
church,
like
a
lot
of
times,
we
in
our
in
the
choir,
we
were
singing
about
going
to
see
the
king.
That's
like
we're
going
to
heaven,
but
it
was
so
so
beautiful.
It
brought
tears
to
my
eyes.
Her
children,
her
grandchildren,
would
put
the
put
the
crown
saying
you
were
our
Queen.
F
Also
I
just
saw
him.
The
paper:
what
about
Celeste
Taylor
I
tried
to
write
a
little
poem
for
her.
It
says:
let's
go
Celeste,
my
friend,
we
come
to
the
end,
God
I.
Believe
said.
It's
time
to
rest,
you
did
your
best
for
peace,
safety
and
happiness
and
freedom
of
speech.
You
did
your
work.
Your
work
like
just
a
song
Let
the
work
I've
done
speak
for
me.
She
did
a
lot
and
she
was
a.
F
She
was
truly
a
friend
she
there's
times
that
I
talked
to
her
and
she
actually
tried
to
give
me
ways
to
come
to
some
of
the
some
of
the
marching
we
marched
beside
each
other
with
me
not
having
the
transportation
I,
don't
get
to
go
a
lot
of
the
places
that
I
would
like
to
go,
but
I
wanted
you
and
everyone
to
know
that
this
woman,
Celeste
Scott.
We
should
give
her
praise.
F
So
let's
got
Dorothy
Everhart
Florence
Bridges,
Brandy,
Fisher
I'm,
just
naming
some
off
the
top
of
my
head
that
these
women
came
down
and
spoke.
There's
a
lot
of
you
that
don't
come!
So
when
you
don't
come,
you
don't
know
what's
happening
down
here.
Sometimes
I
wish
that
if
I
had
a
way
to
stay
home,
I
would
and
not
actually
come
down
and
look
at
genes,
because
you
know
what
you
hurt,
my
heart
that
you're
supposed
to
be
listening
to
us,
You
Talk
Amongst,
each
other
you
get
up
from
the
table.
F
G
Hi,
my
name
is
Tori
tambolini
I
work
in
Market
Square,
but
I
live
in
Bloomfield
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
resolution
authorizing
The
Crisis,
Support
Program
for
food
service
and
Retail
workers,
so
I
currently
am
an
organizer
with
Workers
United,
which
is
an
affiliate
of
SEIU.
But
my
organizing
started
at
the
market
square
Starbucks,
there's
about
300,
unionized
stores
and
most
stores.
If
you
ask
them
why
they
unionized
they'll,
cite
similar
concerns
like
hour,
Cuts
wages.
G
Things
like
that,
but
Market
Square
has
some
unique
concerns
that
are
unique
to
the
location
of
the
Starbucks
store
being
in
Market
Square.
Most
of
the
people
that
walk
through
our
door
every
day
are
people
who
are
homeless
and
they
are
often
struggling
with
issues
such
as
mental
illness
or
drug
addictions,
and
this
leads
us
to
a
lot
of
situations
that
we
are
not
equipped
to
deal
with.
G
There
were
times
when
I
had
to
stop
making
drinks
to
assist
a
customer
who
was
having
a
mental
health
crisis
in
our
restrooms,
and
there
were
two
occasions
where
I
had
to
administer
Narcan
to
customers
in
the
store
or
just
outside
the
store.
Although
the
company
is
well
aware
of
these
issues
and
they
even
classify
Market
Square
as
a
high
incident
store,
they
refused
to
provide
us
any
additional
training
or
any
additional
resources
to
help
with
these
problems.
H
H
It
might
stop
places
like
Coons
from
forcing
teenagers
to
work
beyond
the
curfew
time
yesterday
approaching
one
of
the
one
of
two
of
the
dangerous
zebra
lines
at
the
top
of
the
truck
route,
Coast
Realty
Broadway
a
school
bus
I,
was
in
the
middle
of
Broadway
in
the
zebra
Crossing
Lines.
She
looked
right
at
me
and
she
sped
through
I
guarantee
you.
It
was
not
the
speed
limit.
She
did
not
stop.
She
went
so
fast.
I
couldn't
even
get
a
glimpse
of
the
number.
We
need
those
pedestrian
Crosslines
cross
buttons.
Please.
H
My
daughter
moves,
thank
goodness
from
Westview
back
to
the
Berg
she's.
Now
in
Crafton
I
took
the
novaston
bus.
She
lives
a
little
far
up
on
Crafton
Boulevard
from
Strathmore.
There
are
no
zero
sidewalks
when
at
from
well
that's
the
only
point.
I
could
see
when
I
get
off
at
Noble's
time
up
to
Strathmore
none
and
I'm
going
through
blah
bus
driver.
You
can
see
it
was
a
brand
new
curb
so
I,
don't
know
how
they
did.
This
curb
and
did
not
follow
the
the
laws
and
put
in
the
yellow
wheelchair
ramp.
H
He
let
me
off
at
he
turned
the
corner
to
Noble's
time
from
Crafton,
Boulevard
and
I
said
there
is
no
handicap
accessible
anything
he
says.
Yes,
there
is,
and
I
looked
at
him
and
I
said
no.
There
isn't.
He
was
one
of
the
bus
drivers
that
hates
to
put
seats
up
for
people
in
chairs.
There
was
another
lady
in
a
chair
and
I
looked
at
him
and
I
stopped
when
the
ramp
went
down.
H
I
said,
sir,
that
is
a
sewer,
as
in
the
clown
lives
there
I
was
forced
to
go
up
into
the
wooded
area,
not
seeing
because
of
all
the
weeds.
The
sewer
by
the
way
is
completely
covered
with
leaves.
This
is
like
right
at
the
beginning,
where
the
old
trolleys
used
to
go.
This
was
my
neighborhood,
so
I
know
that
very
well,
there's
no
excuse
so
I
don't
know
if
this
is
good.
H
If
they're
going
to
go
like
this
I,
don't
know
if
it's
City,
if
it's
going
to
be
PennDOT,
if
it's
going
to
be
Port
Authority
but
I'm
going
to
start
with
you
guys,
I
think
this
is
Teresa's
area
you
gotta,
Reach
Out,
you
have
to
coordinate.
There
is
no
excuse
that
a
bus
driver
forces
somebody
off
at
a
bus
stop
and
there's
no
handicap
anything
I
I,
just
I
was
in
shock.

of

B
A
A
D
A
K
We
need
a
second
thank
you.
Mr
Kells
I
appreciate
the
councilman.
Deferring
to
me.
We've
been
working
on
this
paper
just
a
few
weeks
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
my
staff
have
been
working
with
kind
of
Frontline
service
workers
across
the
city,
but
the
idea
really
did
come
from
the
organizing
Starbucks
workers.
K
This
is
one
of
their
main
asks,
as
you
might
have
heard,
I
think
in
public
comment
for
their
corporate
employers,
but
once
we
heard
about
it,
we
started
talking
amongst
ourselves,
and
most
of
us
have
included
myself
decades
ago,
but
recently
my
staff,
you
know,
have
worked
in
the
service
economy
and
have
friends
and
networks
in
the
service
economy.
I
represent
a
lot
of
the
small
businesses
in
the
city.
K
I
know
some
other
council
members
have
a
great
deal
of
small
businesses
that
are
publicly
facing,
and
we
know
that
our
small
businesses,
especially
kind
of
coffee
shops
and
daytime
shops,
are
becoming
or
even
nighttime.
Economy
stores
are
becoming
informal
social
safety
net,
but
without
the
resources,
and
so
this
is
a
very
simple
Bill.
We've
talked
to
the
administration.
We
know
that
we
know
how
to
do
these
trainings
and
we've
done
them
for
our
own
workers,
our
own
staff,
even
council
members
have
gone
through
some
of
this
training.
K
We
know
that
we
have
supplies
and
so
we're
working
with
Public
Safety
in
the
office
of
community
and
Health
Services
to
to
see
how
we
can
roll
out
more
extensive,
publicly
facing
training
so
that
workers
in
the
city
are
better
equipped
to
handle
the
needs
of
our
residents.
I
know:
we've
got
someone
here
for
Public
Safety.
We
have
Laura
durkowski.
If
any
members
have
any
questions.
K
M
So
we
really
appreciate
council
person
gross
and
our
community
leaders
and
organizers,
bringing
this
this
issue
to
to
the
attention
of
you
know
the
greater
the
Greater
Community
would
agree
completely
that
our
people,
who
are
working
in
environments
that
have
low
barrier
access,
libraries,
coffee
shops,
restaurants,
are
oftentimes
very
undersupported
as
it
pertains
to
helping
our
neighbors
in
need
and
I
think.
This
is
not
dissimilar
to
what
we've
all
been
trying
to
share,
which
is.
M
As
councilperson
gross
mentioned.
We
have
worked
on
these
programs.
In
the
past.
We
were
able
to
work
with
the
Pittsburgh
downtown
partnership,
the
health
department
and
The
Roots
program
to
do
a
kind
of
introductory
program
to
community
members
downtown
talking
about
basic
de-escalation
safety
who
to
call
when
to
call
all
what
people
may
be
going
through
when
they're
experiencing
homelessness
or
having
a
mental
health
crisis,
why
they
may
present
in
various
ways
and
what
can
be
done
to
kind
of
keep
everyone
safe.
The
law
enforcement
was
involved
in
that
as
well.
M
We
don't
see
this
as
exclusive.
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
trauma
informed
in
our
approach
to
doing
this,
so
we
really
do
try
to
tailor
these
trainings
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
various
stakeholders.
It
is
labor
intensive
to
set
up
these
trainings
they're
very
necessary,
but
we
really
want
to
coordinate
the
subject
matter.
Experts
from
different
entities,
so
I
think
that
council
person
gross
and
with
the
support
of
council
this.
M
This
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
bring
in
a
a
coordinator,
I
think,
director
Schmidt
and
the
Department
of
Public
Safety,
we're
also
leaning
in
this
direction,
for
something
that
would
be
kind
of
a
a
Community
Education
coordinator.
So
what
we
see
is
that
this
person
could
be
working
toward
empowerment
of
various
community
members,
I
think
priority
being
to
our
our
front
line.
Front
line.
I
I
know
sometimes
that
evokes
like
this
military
feeling,
but
our
are
people
who
have
the
privilege
but
oftentimes.
M
Also,
the
challenge
of
interacting
with
people
who
are
have
unmet
needs
so
I
think
that's
a
priority
and
we
can
look
to
the
nighttime
economy.
Staff
who've
been
working
toward
this
Emergency
Management,
who
have
as
well
so
I
think
it's.
It
would
be
a
nice
point
of
coordination
for
all
the
different
efforts,
ongoing
council
person,
Wilson
and
an
answer
to
your
question.
I
think
absolutely
number
one.
M
It's
really
discouraging
how
how
often
times
we
see
people
who
are
having
a
crisis
and
how
few
resources
exist
for
those
individuals,
and
this
is
why
we
see
carsonization
of
of
people
who
have
mental
health
crises,
because
we
have
Physicians
that
result
at
Western
Psych
saying
maybe
you
should
just
arrest
this
person
so
like
real
talk,
I
think
we
can
train
our
community
members
to
be
very
prepared
to
to
do
everything
they
can.
But
if
there
are
no
resources
that
will
better
serve
that
individual,
those
individuals
will
continue
to
present
and
I.
M
L
D
L
Am
thanks
for
the
overview
a
couple
questions
come
in
mind,
so
would
this
be
with
the
worker
reach
out
or
will
the
business
Reach
Out
or
would
the
city
require
workers
in
the
city
that
work
in
these
environments
to
be
certified?
If
that's
what
you're?
Looking
for
at,
like
that's
what
you're
envisioning.
L
M
A
it's
a
good
question:
I
I,
don't
know
that
mandating
this
kind
of
training
would
be
productive,
I
mean
I.
Think
we
would
love
to
see
everybody
as
prepared
as
possible,
but
but
I
would
imagine
each
of
you
have
businesses
and
Community
organizations
that
are
reaching
out
pretty
regularly
saying
they
need
some
help.
M
So
if
an
individual
wants
to
seek
that
resource-
and
they
don't
necessarily
have
the
support
from
the
business
owner,
we
can
still
provide
them
with
training
as
community
members
and
I.
Think
that
goes
back
to
this
idea
of
Resident
empowerment,
neighborhood
health
and
safety
Academy.
How
do
we
just
help
residents
to.
D
M
L
So
how
do
you
you
know?
This
is
unique,
because
how
do
you
kind
of
toe
the
line
of
giving
them
some
information
being
not
equipping
them
fully
enough
to
you
know
like?
Will
they
call
the
roots?
You
know
the
specialized
individuals
that
will
go
out
and
help
individuals
that
they're,
seeing
instead
of
them,
taking
that
on
and
feeling
like
they
would
be
the
ones
that
would
be.
You
know
that
could
save
that
individual.
M
People
with
known
training
credentials
doing
work
with
with
to
help
people
I
think
what
you're
describing
happens
very
often
where
it's
people
care
a
lot,
but
they
can
actually
create
a
lot
more
harmful
situations
by
kind
of
dipping
in
and
trying
to
help
Promises
of
Housing
and
Promises
of
other
resources
that
are
not
available
and
I.
Think
it's
unconscionable
to
all
of
us
that
they're
not
available.
M
But
if
you
don't
know
you
don't
know,
and
then,
when
you
make
those
commitments
to
people
and
fail
to
follow
through
on
those
commitments,
you
actually
further
undermine
the
trust
that
people
have
in
anyone
who's
trying
to
help
them
so
I
think
a
major
part
of
this
would
have
to
be
boundary
setting.
You
know
we're
training
you
to
work
in
the
context
of
what
can
you
do
in
that
moment
to
promote
safety
and
well-being,
we're
not
training
you
to
become
an
intensive
case
manager,
a
service
Navigator,
a
social
worker?
M
We
want
to
encourage
that
people.
There
are
perfect
we're
trying
to
professionalize
this
space
right.
We
have
a
lot
of
requirements
that
we
have
for
firefighters,
paramedics
and
EMTs,
but
we
have
just
this
kind
of
Malarkey
of
people
out
there
helping
and
if
this
is
a
population
we
care
so
much
about
it.
M
Why
aren't
we
better
supporting
those
organizations
ensuring
that
they
are
operating
ethically
and
under
you
know
best
practices,
and
so
I
think
that
that
would
have
to
be
a
very
critical
part
of
the
training
to
prevent
that
I
think
the
second
point
about
what
they
just
call
Roots.
So
you
know
even
with
three
three
on
ones:
we
see
the
weaponization
of
311s.
You
get
a
community
meeting
where
everybody
is
really
upset
that
you
know
that
that
Bobby
is
is
hanging
out
in
the
park
every
day
and
you'll
get
33-11s
about
Bobby
and
Bobby's.
M
You
know
got
like
two
boxes
and
a
chair,
and
you
would
think
Bobby
has
literally
lit
the
park
on
fire.
The
way
you're
getting
three
one
ones
and
I
think
we've
told
residents
to
tell
us
about
3-1-1,
so
I,
don't
blame
our
residents
for
doing
that,
but
I
also
can't
volume
is
not
necessarily
correlated
with
how
critical
something
is
it's
just
the
mechanism
people
have
to
report.
M
If
someone
comes
into
a
you
know
a
coffee,
shop
and
and
they're
kind
of
having
a
rough
day,
but
they
ultimately
leave
and
and
return
to
you
know
a
place
that
we
we
hope
is
safe.
That
doesn't
necessitate
a
you
know,
a
multiple
alarm
response
and
we
pull
a
whole
team
out
of
doing
the
work
that
they
are
intending
to
do
to
to
go,
say
hello
to
someone
who
ultimately
just
came
in
for
five
minutes
and
wanted
to
go
back
out.
So
I
also
think
that's
a
critical
part
of
roots
deployment,
social
workers.
M
All
of
this
is
that
we
come
up
with
ways
that
they
are
dispatched
and
they
are
engaged
that
are
not
just
going
to
be
predicated
on
who
finds
something
to
be
a
nuisance.
It
does
really
need
to
rise
to
the
level
of
a
person
who
has
a
could
be
really
hurt
that
there's
a
real
safety
issue
there
for
that
person,
not
that
they
pose
a
nuisance,
so
I
think
you're
right.
We
that
would
be
a
major
part
of
this
okay.
L
L
You
know
if
the
building
was
a
certain
amount
of
square
footage
and
that
would
be
like
by
code
like
they
they'd
have
to
the
security
guards
would
be
trained
because
fire,
you
know
they
do
rely
heavily
on
that
support
and
that
people
on
site
to
be
educated,
so
yeah
I
think
this
is
really
important
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
hope
this
sheds
some
light
on.
Just
you.
G
J
M
We've
there
are
I,
don't
want
to
say
hodgepodge,
but
there
have
been
specialized
trainings
that
we've
had
so
focused
specifically
on
overdose
right
or
specific
and
overdose
prevention,
or
focused
specifically
on
what
what
might
be
occurring
for
an
individual
who's
unsheltered
and
what
that
would
mean
to
a
business
owner
or
a
resident.
We
had.
M
You
know:
we've
had
several
one
in
particular
was
initiated
by
Jeremy
Waldrop
in
the
Pittsburgh
downtown
partnership,
I'm
going
to
estimate
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
and
it
was
Pittsburgh,
downtown
partnership,
clean
and
safe
committee
members.
So
those
are
business
owners,
downtown
and
residents
who
have
taken
an
active
interest
in
making
sure
that
our
our
downtown
area
is
is
a
place
for
everyone.
I
think
that
the
participants
in
that
training
were
very
motivated
to
understand
how
they
could
help.
M
We
had
I
can't
remember
the
order
sort
of
like
homelessness.
Why
are
people
experiencing
homelessness?
What
is
the
role
that
the
city
can
play?
How
do
you
recognize
and
respond
to
an
overdose,
and
how
might
you
help
to
de-escalate
a
situation
recognizing
that
safety?
First,
if,
if
you
don't
feel
safe,
then
we
do
not
encourage
people
to
proactively
engage
it's
a
there's.
M
M
M
You
know
they're
I,
don't
want
to
call
them
out
publicly,
but
there
are
several
businesses
downtown
who
have
had
over
people
die
by
overdose
in
their
bathrooms
and
they
want
help
not
just
teaching
their
employees
to
respond,
because
by
the
way
they
had
16
year
old
employees
who
were
finding
a
person
who
had
died
in
the
bathroom
I
mean
this.
Is
you
know
this
is
trauma
beginning
trauma,
but
they
they
wanted
even
help
understanding
infrastructure
right.
So
we
have
a
door
that
locks
and
we
don't
know
what's
going
on
in
that
bathroom.
M
What
would
a
policy
be
that
we
check
the
door
after
a
certain
period
of
time,
so
even
stuff
that
I
think
Emergency
Management
has
taken
into
consideration?
How
do
you
just
make
the
physical
facility
safer,
so
we've
had
businesses
downtown
I
know
just
in
as
we're
all
City
residents
in
our
real
lives.
I've
had
had
people
share,
I
think
that
some
folks
from
a
business
in
Bloomfield
that
they're
having
this
problem
pretty
regularly.
M
J
M
M
M
Not
have
to
be
because
I
think
what
we
want
them
to
do
is
coordinate
the
resources,
not
necessarily
engage
the
conduct.
The
trainings
right
I
think
that
we
would
rather
find
someone
who
is
understands
our
neighborhoods
understands
the
businesses
and
the
residents
knows
how
to
interact
with
them
and
then
can
tap
the
trainers
to
be
part
of
a
coordinated.
So.
M
We
you
know:
we've
mentioned
that
we
have
Partners
from
Roots.
We
have
Partners
from
law
enforcement.
If
that
would
be
appropriate,
we
have
Partners
from
the
health
department,
as
people
would
kind
of
tailor
their
trainings.
There
are
organizations
that
provide
Mental,
Health
First
Aid
training,
that's
a
more
intensive
training.
J
M
J
M
We've
had
we've
had
conversations
separately
with
both
some
of
medical
direction
from
EMS
who
are
interested
in
extending
CPR,
stop
the
bleed
other
community,
empowerment,
trainings
and,
and
also
with
our
Training
Division
at
EMS,
James
litowski
assistant,
chief
pinchock
and
and
I
think
that
there's
a
real
desire
to
extend
those
kind
of
medical,
life-saving
efforts
as
well.
We've
got
great
trainers
and
we
have
great
Community
trainers
as
well.
M
It's
just,
as
you
said,
setting
up
even
regular
kind
of
public-facing
community
trainings
for
people
to
participate
in,
so
you
don't
have
to
be
affiliated
with
Starbucks
or
you
don't
have
to
be
affiliated
with
a
particular
non-profit.
You
happen
to
be
someone
on
the
Block
who
is
invested
in
keeping
your
your
your
fellow
residents
safe,
and
we
can
make
that
available.
So.
M
Do
the
the
previous
Community
engagement
coordinator,
so
that
person,
along
with
several
others,
was
moved
to
Neighborhood
Services,
so
that
was
to
I
think
you
know
sort
of
centralize
the
community
engagement
efforts
on
the
city's
behalf.
We
envisioned
that
position
from
the
beginning
to
be
less
about
regular
attendance
at
Community
meetings
and
and
sort
of
like
the
the
presentation
of
information
and
more
about
building
trust
with
our
residents
and
and
doing
something
very
similar
to
what
we're
talking
about
here,
which
is
needs
assessments.
M
What
does
a
community
feel
would
be
helpful
for
them
to
feel
empowered
and
then
collaborating
to
bring
in
those
resources
to
help
so
I
think
it
actually
dovetails
very
well
with
what
our
original
expectation
was.
But,
of
course,
you
know,
I
think
we
have
community
members
residents
who
are
very
engaged
through
Community
meetings,
so
oftentimes
people
with
that
title,
Community
engagement
coordinator,
do
end
up
going
to
a
lot
of
community
meetings.
That's
not
what
we
see
that
position
doing
it
wasn't
originally.
J
M
M
I
think
the
goal
would
be
that
we're
not
you
know
we're
we're
going
to
try
to
go
where
people
are
expressing
need
to
us
and
I
think
a
priority
population
are
places
that
are
allowing
a
common
spaces
places
that
allow
people
to
come
in,
but
then
oftentimes
may
not
be
able
to
support
them.
So
I
think
restaurants
and
and
coffee
shops
and
libraries
tend
to
be
kind
of
high
on
that
list.
N
President,
thank
you.
Thank
you
and
I'm
going
to
abstain
today,
because
I
actually
received
a
few
phone
calls
about
saying
that
there
was
a
position
like
this
last
year
or
year
before
I
think
they
said
that
we
had
in
place,
but
just
even
a
quick
search
of
just
some
of
the
things.
You're
saying
and
I
see
things
that
are
available
free
to
the
public
and
free
to
training
and
all
that
so
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
going
to
abstain.
Today,.
N
But
I
just
I
feel,
like
everybody
wants
to
help
in
this
area,
but
I
also
feel
like
we're.
There's
option
opportunities
available
for
people
to
have
free
services
and
free
free
training,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
I
want
to
talk
to
the
people.
It's
mostly
people
from
the
East
End
calling
my
office
saying
that
you
know
they
want
me
to
check
into
this
I'm,
going
to
check
into
that
and
hear
what
they
have
to
say.
N
O
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
thank
you,
councilwoman
gross
for
introducing
this
legislation,
and-
and
thank
you
Laura
for
being
here
and
for
explaining
the
intricacies
of
what
this
could
look
like.
You
answered
a
lot
of
my
questions
already,
we'll
just
say.
I'm
generally,
supportive
I
recognize
the
increasing
importance,
as
we
saw
during
the
lockdown
portion
of
the
pandemic.
O
How
important
third
places
are
we've
known
that
for
a
long
time
to
play,
you
know
third
places
like
coffee
shops
like
restaurants,
like
libraries
like,
etc,
etc,
that
help
us
form
relationships
outside
of
our
home
and
our
work
settings,
and
so
so
important
to
just
overall
health
and
mental
health.
So
I
do
want
to
support
these
workers
who
are
facing
much
like
our
police.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
our
police
facing
situations
and
scenarios
that
they
may
not
feel
they
have.
The
training
for
or
may
not
initially
be.
O
The
expected
part
of
the
position
want
to
support
those
who
are
found
who
find
themselves
in
these
new
scenarios
and
as
long
as
we
are
not
pulling
away
from
the
other
parts
of
ochs
that
are
so
very
important
and
where
they've
originally
established
portion
of
the
job
which
it
sounds
like
as
you've
discussed
there.
There's
a
plan
for
that
there
is.
This
is
a
an
and
not
an
or
then
I
am
supportive
I'll.
P
Yeah
I,
don't
really
have
too
many
questions.
I
did
well.
You
mentioned
it
earlier
Laura
so
that
just
for
folks
to
remember,
we
do
offer
these
trainings
right.
Stop
the
bleed
recognize
a
stroke.
You
know
CPR,
de-escalation
trainings,
for
if
you
work
in
the
you
know
bars
or
restaurants
or
whatever.
So
this
is
something
that
we
already
do
so
this
just
seems
like
kind
of
an
extension
of
that
which
seems
fairly
straightforward.
P
C
P
You
know
keep
organizing
and
get
that
in
your
contract,
and
then
you
know,
ideally
if
it
was
mandatory
and
then
the
businesses
were
coming
to
us,
we
could,
you
know,
charge
a
fee
and
let
it
pay
for
itself
and
there
you
go
right,
so
we're
all
sort
of
supporting
each
other
and
also
just
a
reminder
to
our
colleagues
at
the
county.
To
you
know
if
anybody's
listening
to
you
know,
please
pitch
in
here
work
with
us,
not
not
siled
beside
us.
You
know
these.
These
things
get
done.
P
As
you
know,
the
resources
are
there,
the
people
are
there.
We
just
need
to
work
together
and,
finally,
just
a
quick
reminder
to
the
public
I
mean
in
the
past.
You
know
since
covet
I
the
the
treatment
of
service
workers,
it's
just
a
TR
I
mean
it's
just
atrocious.
I
I
worked
in
the
service
industry
when
I
was
young
and
I
never
experienced
anything
like
what
I've
seen
in
the
past
couple
of
years,
I'm
sure
our
workers
can
attest
to
that.
P
K
You
appreciate
it.
These
are
all
really
great
questions.
I
appreciate
it
from
my
colleagues
and
suggestions
and
I
think
the
nighttime
economy.
One
is
especially
if
I
hadn't
mentioned
it.
That's
a
great.
It's
really
a
point
that
bears
repeating
several
of
the
the
workers
and
establishments
that
we
also
talked
with
our
nighttime
economy
and
not
just
daytime
economy.
One
so
they've
reached
out
they've
enlisted
some
non-profits
to
do
some
of
the
training.
K
I
want
to
point
out
that
a
lot
of
the
establishments
are
small
establishments
and
I
think
that
we.
This
is
something
that
we
know
how
to
do.
We
have
the
supplies.
We
have
the
expertise,
but
it's
almost
like.
We
need
to
just
make
sure
that
we're
focusing
on
maybe
populations
that
we
hadn't
reached
before
so
we
know
when
I
think
about
the
community
meetings
in
my
own
District,
where
we
might
have
had
these
things.
It
isn't
the
same
meeting
that
these
workers
might
have
been
at
they're.
K
Almost
this
kind
of
like
different
different
networks
of
people,
so
I
think
it's
it's
important
that
where
we
have
the
resources
and
the
capability
that,
even
though
we
wish,
for
example,
we're
always
happy
to
repeat
it
at
this
table.
While
we
wish
the
county
were
doing
these
things.
If
they're
not,
you
know,
we've
created
our
own
office
of
community
health
and
safety
with
our
own
taxpayer
of
money
and
our
own
City
money
and
we're.
K
I'm
really
grateful
that
we
are
there
and
that
we
have
both
the
fun
with
the
councils.
Put
this
funding
in
place
and
and
put
these
these
this
capacity
in
the
organizational
chart
for
the
city
so,
and
we
certainly
have
people
who
are
calling
out
for
help
so
I
appreciate
the
collaboration
of
the
administration
and
the
willingness
to
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
fill
in
fill
in
these
gaps.
K
N
N
I
And
it's
now
2023.
and
it's
good
to
see
that
we
collectively
as
a
city
view
or
understand
and
accept
our
responsibility
to
nurture,
protect
and
support.
Third
place
businesses
that
that
provide
for
a
need
to
socialize,
because
we
are
social
beings
and
that
we,
you
know
things
take
time.
I
get
that
they
take
time.
I
would
have
loved
to
have
seen
a
broader
understanding
of
the
importance
of
this
over
the
years
that
I
served
on
Council.
I
But
it
is
a
welcome
and
refreshing
to
see
that,
even
though
it's
15
years
later,
we
are
collectively
understanding
the
importance
of
these
businesses
what
they
provide
and
how
we
accept
our
responsibility
to
support
third
place
and
the
importance
of
of
providing
for
our
socialization.
So
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
and
I
appreciate
the
efforts
today
and
I
am
in
support
and
happy
to
vote
in
favor.
J
M
You
know
I
I,
actually
I
mean
my
take
on
making
things
mandatory
is
that
you
tend
to
force
people
who
are
not
interested
in
engaging
at
all
to
engage
in
oftentimes.
That
can
be,
you
know,
a
result
in
a
bad
outcome,
so
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
we
want
to
force
people
to
do
this,
I
think
if
people
feel
it's
a
need
and
they're
willing
to
do
it.
That's
great
otherwise,
I
think
we
should
just
make
sure
our
residents
as
you
all.
We
all
do.
M
M
Think
that's
it
so.
Council
person
gross
mentioned
supplies
when
we
think
about
things
like
overdose
prevention,
we're
very
fortunate
that
the
health
department
has
the
Narcan
available.
So
that's
not
something
we
would
incur
if
we're
talking
about
compression
only
CPR
there's,
not
any
certification
cost.
If
we're
also
including
stop
the
bleed,
we
can
create
stop
the
bleed
kits.
M
One
of
our
colleagues
in
emergency
management
is
specing
out
what
that
would
cost
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
departments
that
would
like
to
have
those
available,
so
we're
trying
to
get
a
minimum
cost
for
that.
Otherwise,
I
think
that
there
are
trainers.
We
would
potentially
like
to
pay.
Particularly.
M
You
know,
a
council
person
council
president
Kel
Smith
was
saying
there
are
organizations
and
entities
that
do
this
if
they
do
it
for
free
wonderful,
if
they
don't-
and
this
is
how
people
make
their
living
I
think
we
would
want
to
have
a
deeper
discussion
about
how
we're
making
sure
we
pay
them
too
I
I.
At
this
moment,
I
couldn't
I
couldn't
speculate.
M
What
the
cost
would
be
for
that,
but
I
I
think
that
that's
a
worthwhile
consideration,
but
material
costs
are
going
to
be
I,
think
low,
because
we
really
are
looking
at
things
like
first
aid
supplies,
which,
even
if
it's
for
a
business
one
could
be
provided
to
be
behind
the
the
counter
in
a
stop,
the
bleed
kit
might
be
10
bucks.
So
we're
not.
M
You
know
we're
not
looking
at
very
expensive,
significant
expenses
outside
of
that
our
office
has
a
you,
know:
printing
budget,
and
you
know
a
supply
budget,
so
I,
don't
think
that
we
would
be
requesting
additional
funds.
I
think
we
would
try
to
work
within
that.
And
finally,
we
did
you
know
last
year
received
a
bureau
of
Justice
assistance,
grant
the
connect
and
protect
Grant.
M
M
There,
you
know,
as
the
council
president
said,
there
are
a
lot
of
free
resources.
I
think
that
if
we
want
to
focus
on
free
resources,
that
is
perfectly
doable,
I
think
there
are
plenty
of
free
resources,
but
we
also
have
Stop
the
Violence
trust
fund
recipients.
That
may
be
motivated
to
be
part
of
this
training,
and
so
we
would
not
necessarily
have
to
pay
them,
because
they're
already
recipients
of
funding
I
think
this.
M
I'm
sorry,
so
I
I
think
that
we
would
need
to
do
needs
assessments
with
the
individual
organizations
to
see
where
they
think
that
there
would
be
the
most
value
and
that
could
include
our
First
Responders.
If
we
know
that
Dr
Johnson
tells
us
they're
getting
a
lot
of
calls
for
a
particular
call
type,
we
can
incorporate
resources
that
would
meet
that.
M
You
know
that
need
as
well
I
think
when
we
think
about
trainers,
we
are
going
to
try
to
be
balance,
experience
and
sort
of
credibility
in
the
field,
as
well
as
people
who
have
trust
in
their
in
their
neighborhoods.
So
you
know
we
would
like
to
if
we're
going
to
train
in
in
the
West
End.
We
would
like
to
think
about
who
is
already
going
to
be
credible
and
trustworthy
in
the
West
End
to
provide
that
training.
M
Some
of
the
training-
yes,
so
we
have
like
Dr
Sheila
Roth
she
and
our
team
can
talk
about
trauma.
Response
can
talk
about
critical
incident.
Stress
debriefing,
certainly
I'm
always
happy
to
do
overdose
prevention
training,
although
we
we
have
a
great
partner
at
the
health
department,
that's
free
and
very
knowledgeable.
So
there
are
elements
that
we
can
also
do.
J
So
if
I
own
McDonald's,
downtown
and
I
want
to
make
that
available
to
my
Workforce,
we're
going
to
have
a
coordinator
to
help
walk
us
through
those
steps.
But
is
there
resources
out
there
now,
if
that
manager
or
owner,
or
that
retail
or
restaurant,
seeks
to
get
training
without
us,
I
mean
or
the
resources
out?
There
is
what
I'm
asking.
M
You
so
I
think
the
answer
is
yes,
and
no,
so
there
are
disparate
resources,
there's
not
sort
of
a
comprehensive
set
of
resources.
So
you
know
I've
mentioned
several
times:
overdose
prevention,
training.
Our
partners
at
the
health
department
will
do
that
they
are
always
willing
and
they
work
with.
You
know:
non-profits
for-profits,
they're,
very
Community
groups,
so
that
exists.
De-Escalation
training
there
are
I
would
say
fewer
organizations
that
are
offering
that
as
a
free
service
oftentimes.
M
M
There
are
disparate
and
different
resources,
but
at
the
scale
we're
going
to
need
we're
going
to
need
to
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
be
doing
these
eight
trainings
in
the
you
know
the
south
side
of
Mount
Washington
and
then
we're
going
to
be
doing
five
in
the
East
End,
and
that
means
we
can't
just
take
that
one
organization
and
say
hey.
We
just
gave
you
13
trainings,
because
they
already
have
a
full
full
compliment,
so
they
may
be
able
to
do
for
the
trainings
in
the
South
Side.
Another
organization
may
be
able
to
do.
J
N
G
N
Just
want
to
be
clear:
I
actually
ran
parent,
the
parent
educational
resource
centers
for
Pittsburgh,
Public,
Schools,
so
I
know
what
training
is
available
out
there
I
know
it's
free,
I
know:
what's
what
we
can
do
and
we
can't
do
and
I
do
also
know
that
there's
a
need
to
help
navigate
the
system.
There
really
is
because
211
is
supposed
to
be
that
someone
needs
help
navigating
two
and
one
so
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
you
know,
misinformation
for
the
people,
so
I
think
it's
very
difficult.
N
Certainly
not
a
social
worker
and
I
would
never
pretend
that
I
even
understand
that
world.
So
you
know
I.
Unfortunately,
we
aren't
fortunate
that
we
have
people
like
you,
like
Ricky,
who
help
us
navigate
that
system
here
locally,
but
for
me,
I
just
want
to
be
comfortable
with
this,
but
I
mostly
want
to
look
into
whatever
this.
Is
that
I'm?
Getting
these
phone
calls
and
text
messages
about
about
a
previous
position
like
this
or
something
would.
M
I
be
able
to
comment
on
here
on
what
you
said.
Would
that
be
all
right,
because
I
I
agree
completely
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we've
we've
endeavored
to
do
with
our
First
Responders
and
we'd
like
to
do
with
Council
as
well,
is
you're
all
getting
I
mean
I
get
calls
from
people
in
the
community
and
I
say
you
know
you
really
should
call
Bobby
Wilson's
office,
so
I
know
that
I'm
I
tell
people.
M
I
I
think
we've,
we've
we've,
you
know
maybe
fallen
short
at
times,
but
our
goal
would
be
to
actually
work
with
each
of
you
to
understand
the
unique
needs
I
mean.
We
know
that
there
are
overarching
needs
across
the
city,
but
there
are
also
unique
needs
in
the
districts
and
we
would
I
think
you
know,
based
on
my
conversations
with
council
person
gross
like
that,
the
trainings
that
occur
really
are
tapping.
M
Resources
that
do
exist
I
agree
completely,
that
we
do
not
want
to
just
throw
people
in
there
because
they
sound
good
on
a
website.
I
can't
write
I
can't
make
a
good
website,
but
you
know
I'm
sure
if,
if
I
could
I
could
make
it
sound
like
I'm,
more
competent
in
things
than
I,
that
I
am
so
I
think
we
do
want
to
vet
the
the
trainers
make
sure
that
they're
appropriate
that
they're,
you
know
ensuring
the
safety
of
people.
M
I
I
have
definitely
heard
trainings,
where
people
have
advocated
for
our
residents
to
do
things
that
I
I
would
say
are
objectively
unsafe,
and
so
we
never
want
to
get
into
a
situation
where
we're
we're
doing
that.
I
think
we
need
to
give
a
balanced
perspective,
but
prioritize
safety,
but
we'd
like
to
work
with
each
of
the
council
members
and
their
staff
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
neglecting
a
neighborhood
or
not
failing
to
work
with
organizations
that
you
all
have
worked
with
in
the
past.
M
So
I
completely
agree
on
that
point
and
and
on
the
on
the
training
Point
as
well,
and
then
you
know,
as
it
pertains
to
a
previous
position
I
can
you
know
I'd
be
happy
to
send
over
the
community
engagement,
coordinator's
original
role.
If
you
it's
still
in
the
government,
jobs
I'd
be
I'm,
happy
to
send
that
other
than
that.
I'm,
not
sure
what
your
constituents
may.
N
Have
been
working
about
my
constituents
because
I
would
have
called
them
they're
calling
my
office
I,
don't
know
who
and
then
I'm
getting
text
messages
now
on
my
work
phone,
so
I
just
I
want
to
be
clear
that
that
I
want
to
help
and
I
think
we
all
do
want
to
do
that.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
what
we're
doing
is
the
right
thing
and
I
also
am
curious.
N
How
this
why
this
couldn't
wait
until
after
we
had
we're
performing
this
committee
to
work
on
the
the
violence
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
the
needs
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
I'm
in
some
component
I
see
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
working
to
coordinate
the
mental
health
and
and
services
getting
out
to
constituents,
but
one
of
the
things
that
so
I
wish
we
kind
of
wish.
We
would
wait
for
waited
for
that,
but
it
may
never.
N
P
Yeah
I
do
I,
do
just
kind
of
want
to
reiterate
again
that
we
already
do
so
many
trainings
like
this
right.
We
do
that
right.
The
the
as
I
said
before
the
stop.
The
bleed
de-escalation
CPR
fire
safety.
You
know
these
are
all
things
that
are
public,
that
are
various
Public
Safety
organizations
go
out
into
the
community
for
their
area
of
expertise
and
do
so.
P
Know
the
the
fact
that
OCH
at
ochs
would
also
like
to
do
this
for
the
communities
that
it
serves.
I
think
is
both
reasonable
and
makes
sense
also,
but
just
in
in
reference
to
something
we
talked
about
yesterday,
I
think
that
again
as
the
public
Council,
all
of
us
really
we
you
know
we
talk
about.
You
know:
violence
prevention
as
a
public
safety
issue.
We
need
to
start
looking
at
our
Public
Safety
community
in
a
more
holistic
way.
You
know
we
have
this
small
army
of
Public
Safety
workers
in
all
these
various
departments.
P
We
really
need
to
start
thinking
about
ways
that
they
can
work
better
together,
rather
than
being
siled
into
just
the
thing
that
they
do.
I
mean
what
comes
to
mind
right
is:
is
the
fact
that
we
have
firehouses
in
every
neighborhood
all
over
the
city,
I
mean
these
are
existing
buildings
that
we
have.
P
You
know
what
I
mean
like,
rather
than
bringing
in
outside
trainers,
I
mean
we've
got
people
who
know
how
to
do
so.
Much
of
this
already.
It
would
be
great
if
we
could
find
a
way
always
like
to
look
for
the
the
you
know.
How
can
we
do
it
as
opposed
to
the
sort
of
well,
we
might
not
be
able
to
say
well,
we
can,
let's
just
you
know
figure
it
out.
P
M
You
know
a
paramedic
goes
into
a
home
and
realizes,
in
the
course
of
being
in
that
home
that
there's
no
food
on
the
Shelf
they're
there
to
address
a
medical
emergency,
but
in
they
also
find
out
that
there
are
some
other
underlying
issues.
So
we've
you
know
been
really
fortunate
to
work
with
people
from
each
of
the
bureaus
we
work
with
Lieutenant
Chad,
horosci,
Sergeant,
Colleen,
Bristow
and
crew
chief
John
Mooney
from
fire
police
at
EMS
respectively,
and
we've
learned
a
lot
in
getting
them
all
in
the
same
room.
M
There
are
patients
that
will
see
all
three
bureaus
in
the
course
of
the
week,
but
we
don't
necessarily
have
data
systems
that
share
that.
So,
even
knowing
that
that
person
has
been
unfortunately
pinballing
around
among
our
First
Responders,
it's
we're
not
so
we're
not
addressing
maybe
issues
that
we
could,
and
so
we
have.
Our
social
work.
M
Staff
has
case
conferences
with
all
of
our
First
Responders,
being
mindful
of
not
sharing
patient
information,
but
also
coordinating
responses
and
I
think
you're
spot
on,
and
we
do
take
what
we
call
a
translational
approach
where
we
know
that
they're
seeing
a
lot
more,
maybe
not
dissimilar
to
our
our
staff
who
work
in
in
the
community
in
in
these
various
public-facing
roles.
They
see
a
lot
more
than
we
may
see.
M
You
know
in
in
the
course
of
our
day,
and
rather
than
kind
of
having
a
one
and
done
conversation
with
them
and
assuming
we
know
everything
we
actually
need
to
engage
with
them
on
a
very
regular
basis
to
continue
to
iterate
on
what
we're
doing
so.
We
don't
get
a
little
bit
of
information,
plow
down
a
path
and
then
realize
six
months
in
that
will
be
created
as
garbage,
which
unfortunately
happens
a
lot
when
we
have
a
knee-jerk
reaction
and
assume.
We
understand
everything
so
I
just
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
point.
N
K
A
B
A
I
I
I
just
I
want
to
very
briefly
thank
all
the
different
agencies
and
entities
that
helped
us
to
get
to
this
point
where
we
are
actually
looking
at
things
like
streets,
vacation
and
property
assemblage,
so
that
we're
able
to
actually
begin
the
physical
construction
or
reconstruction
of
the
Bell
super
school,
which
is
going
to
be
estimated
between
13
and
15
million
dollar
investment
in
in
the
neighborhood
and
so
I.
First
I
really
would
like
to
thank
and
recognize
about
super
consensus
group.
I
None
of
this
could
have
been
possible
if
it
were
not
for
the
the
diligence
and
the
cooperation
of
the
beltsuper
consensus
group.
We
began
with
the
school
board
and
their
willingness
us
to
sell
the
school
to
the
Bell
super
consensus
group
so
that
we
could
begin
this
journey
that
we're
on
about
its
reimagination
I'd,
like
to
thank
the
Birmingham
Foundation,
who
was
instrumental
in
helping
us
navigate
the
purchasing
process
by
which
we
were
able
to
actually
purchase
the
school
and
begin
the
the
journey.
The
Heinz
endowment.
I
They
were
critical
in
providing
the
necessary
funding
and
resource
at
the
beginning
to
mothball
the
building,
protect
some
damage
to
the
roof,
which
was
causing
internal
damage
to
the
building,
helping
to
secure
the
building,
so
that
no
further
harm
or
damage
would
come
to
it.
We
could
not
have.
We
could
not
have
done
this
without
being
support
and
assistance
of
the
Heinz
endowments
in
the
Birmingham
foundation,
and
then
I'd
like
to
sincerely
recognize
previous
mayor
peduto.
I
Who
was
a
more
than
willing
partner
on
this
journey
to
assist
us
to
getting
to
the
point
of
where
we
were
actually
at
a
recognized
entity
that
we
could
go
and
secure
the
kind
of
funding
that
would
be
necessary
to
make
this
kind
of
investment
in
the
school.
And
then,
lastly,
mayor
Gainey
and
and
his
he,
he
helped
us
waiver
The,
Little
Engine,
That
Could.
I
We
got
it
so
far,
but
mayor
Gainey,
believing
in
this
project,
pushed
it
over
the
top
and
fought
for
our
funding,
and
we
were
funded
on
the
first
round,
which
is
highly
unusual,
but
the
importance
of
the
project
and
the
belief
in
the
project
by
mayor
Gainey
pushed
us
over
the
top,
and
so
we
are
now.
This
is
the
first
piece
of
legislation
we're
seeing
which
is
directly
related
to
the
reconstruction
of
the
school.
I
We'll
see
a
number
of
these
things
coming
through
over
the
next
year,
or
maybe
even
a
little
bit
more
even
after
I'm
out
of
office,
but
I
petitioned
Council
support.
It's
a
really
good
day.
To
begin
to
see
these
kinds
of
things
happening,
it
couldn't
be
any
more
proud
of
a
project
than
I
I
am
of
of
the
belts
River
school
project
and
I
asked
members
to
to
please
support
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
time
to
sort
of
put
this
out
there.
So
thank
you.

A
P
D
A
L
Thank
you,
councilor,
Strasbourg
and
and
Madam
president,
so
we
we
had
worked
with
DPW
before
the
the
best
bill
that
we
thought
went
into
this
conversation
with.
You
know
my
understanding
from
what
I'm
I
was
seeing
with
local
community
groups,
Sports
Community
groups,
whatever
you
want
to
call
them,
because
they
provide
a
lot
for
the
community,
especially
in
the
time
of
when
we
continue
to
discuss
what
our
youth
can
be
doing.
L
You
know
after
school,
so
they
provide
a
lot
of
programming
for
them
and
just
always
wanted
to
keep
them
at
the
front
of
the
conversation,
and
you
know
believe
that
that
this
bill
does.
That
is
best
that
it
could
I
think
what
is
what's
been
brought
to
light
here
is
that
we
just
need
more
fields
and
we
need
more
I
believe
we
probably
have
the
space.
L
Individual
school,
or
or
just
you
know,
more
Fields
available
to
multiple
schools,
but
but
there
is
also
a
time
limit
for
for
that
for
school,
so
you
know
I,
believe
it's
it's
a
it's
at
a
time
point
that
doesn't
disrupt
any
current
programming,
but
at
least
can
shed
some
light
on
on.
You
know
how
much
the
fields
are
being
used
by
the
schools,
so
I
think
there
could
be
an
investment
there.
L
Now
we
just
open
up
more
opportunities
for
those
fields
to
be
used
at
later
times
as
well.
So
we
do
coordinate
with
a
lot
of
different
school
districts
and
did
make
an
extra
effort
to
put
it
in
to
code.
What
the!
What
the,
how
do
I
say
this?
What
the
priority
list
there's
a
there
was
a
priority
list
that
the
permitting
offices
were
going
off
of
and
to
actually
formalize
that
and
to
put
that
into
the
Public's
eye.
L
I
think
is
the
best
approach
so
that
there's
nothing
going
on
behind
closed
doors
that
the
public
can
see
what
the
process
is,
and
they
can.
You
know
they
can
criticize
it,
and
we
should
continue
to
talk
about
it.
Other
than
that
I
think
it's
the
currently,
it
would
be
the
best
Bill
to
put
forward
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
any
discussion
about
the
topic.
N
N
That's
it
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
was
in
this
one
product
here.
I
think
we
shared
a
concern
with
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
in
there,
but
I
do
think
that
there's
a
lot
to
be
said
about
the
partnership
with
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools.
We
work
well
with
them.
We
talk
about
working
well
with
them.
They
use
our
Fields
a
lot,
but
I
would
like
to
see
it
be
reciprocated
with
our
buildings
and
some
other
things.
That
might
be
one
of
the
things
we
do.
N
You
know
the
poles
swimming
pools
and
some
other
things
that
we
could
use
their
help
in
maintaining
and
and
doing
and
I
mean
I
know
that
and
I
don't
want
to
because
they're
an
easy
target,
because
everybody
can
say
Pittsburgh,
Public
Schools,
you
know,
should
be
doing
more
and
I
know
that
they
have
a
lot
of
challenges,
but
I
do
wish
that
we
had
a
better
relationship
in
terms
of
the
athlete
you
know,
youth
after
school
hours.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
P
L
N
Q
N
N
A
L
Yeah
I
left
out
on
a
comment.
I
want
to
make
about
the
experience
of
working
with
the
department
and
the
permitting
people
who
do
the
permitting.
It
was
because
I
I've
been
on
Council
for
three
years
now
and
throughout
that
time
is
when
they
started
the
process
of
not
granting
organizations
a
blanket
permit,
and
so
I
think
what
I've
seen
from
organizations
that
reach
out
to
my
office,
that
they
were.
Q
N
You
do
currently,
yes,
okay
and
so,
and
then
I
did
for
about
20
years
and
I
feel
like
we
need
to
treat
them
as
partners.
Instead
of
like
the
enemy
all
the
time,
we're
always
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
put
them
in
their
place
and
how
dare
they
want
the
fields
and
how
do
they
but
they're,
taking
10,
000
kids
off
the
streets
and
doing
something
positive
with
them?
N
They
do
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
for
our
community
and
and
for
our
city
as
a
whole
and
I
think
we
need
to
start
valuing
them
as
a
partner.
The
same
as
we're
talking
about
valuing
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools,
they
are
also
a
valued
partner
in
this
and
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
send
that
I.
Think
that's
why
this
legislation
was
important
to
me.
I
want
to
send
a
message
that
they
are
valued
just
as
much
as
everybody
else.
We
appreciate
them,
I'm!
Sorry,
thank
you
and
I.
N
P
I,
just
you
also,
you
know
in
the
permitting
process,
I
know
on
the
city,
Side
it
can
fit.
You
know
it,
it
can
feel
like
it's.
You
know
it's,
it's
so
straightforward
just
apply
for
your
permit
and
just
do
it
in
the
right.
You
know
in
the
timely
manner
but
I
it
can
be
hard.
Sometimes
I
mean
keeping
in
mind
that
the
folks
who
run
these
things
they
work.
They
have
kids
like
this.
P
Is
you
know
they
are
just
I
mean
you
know,
managing
a
a
small
baseball
club
is
a
huge
Endeavor
and
so
I
guess
yeah
a
little
understanding
a
little
and
and
you
know,
and
then
a
a
game
gets
rained
out
and
then
oh
now,
I
got
to
get
a
permit
for
it
and
we
don't
even
know
when
it's
not
gonna.
You
know
like
there's
all
these
baseball,
especially
right.
There's.
P
Permitting
so
I
do
understand
why
they
just
sort
of
want
to
have
priority
over
the
field,
and
it
would
be
nice
if
there
could
just
be
a
sort
of
if
the
the
leagues
could
be
included
in
that,
so
that
I
mean
it's
not
like.
People
want
to.
You
know
they're,
like
don't
use
the
field,
even
if
we're
not
using
it.
That's
not
it
it's
that
they
just
want
to
be
included.
They
don't
want
to
just
be
surprised
and
find
out.
Like
oh
wait.
One
day,
you
know
the
city
sports
team.
Q
A
Aye
any
opposed
affirmative
recommendation
that
exhaust
our
agenda
for
today
we
do
have
many
announcements.
This
afternoon
at
3,
30
and
4
P.M
Council
will
hold
an
executive
session
on
bills,

16
11,
49,
11,
50,
11,
51,

52
and

next
week.
Council
will
hold
our
regular
and
standing
committee
meetings
on
Tuesday,
February,
7th
and
Wednesday
February
8th
at
10,
A.M
respectively.
Speaker
registration
will
close
at
9am
the
day
of
the
meeting
to
register
to
speak
at
these
meetings
and
hearings.
A
P
O
Yes,
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
highlight
a
member
of
my
staff
who
will
be
leaving
this
Friday
so
when
Chief
of
Staff
Emily
yonan
who's
been
with
us
through.
Arguably
some
of
the
hardest
times
that
we've
experienced
in
recent
history
on
Council
is
it's
a
Bittersweet
announcement,
happily
joining
Congressman
Chris
delucio's
team
starting
next
week,
so
I'm
we're
all
sad
to
see
her
go.
But
the
city's
loss
is
certainly
that
districts
and
the
congressman's
office
is
gain.
