A
C
A
And
elsewhere
cross
is
with
us
our
next
order.
Business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
all
speakers
of
the
rules
of
council
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
marriage,
a
concerned,
official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
and
profanity
is
not
permitted.
Once
you
recall,
please
restate
your
name
and
provide
your
neighborhood
for
the
record.
You'll
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
Our
first
registered
speaker
is
Naomi
Mullen.
E
This
was
read
at
my
husband's
funeral
Michael
J
Mullen
Reflection
by
battalion
chief
Douglas,
praskovich
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
the
one
that
should
be
emulated
by
every
firefighter.
E
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
rank.
If
you
had
a
question,
he
would
stop
what
he
was
doing
to
answer
it.
He
worked
tirelessly
but
also
energetically
his
entire
career.
In
pursuit
of
more
knowledge,
his
legacy
will
serve
our
citizens
and
firefighters
for
years
to
come.
E
Mike
was
a
loving
and
compassionate
husband,
father
for
other
relative
and
friend
and
I
might
add.
Also
neighbor
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
in
peace.
My
friend,
as
you
can
see
from
these
badges,
it
represents
a
lot
of
accomplishment.
It's
not
even
easy
to
get
on
the
fire
department
to
begin
with,
and
then
it's
highly
competitive
in
the
exams.
E
E
We
also
came
down
here
and
we
explained
why
we
did
not
want
any
zoning
change
for
our
neighborhood
so
right
now,
apparently,
there
are
vultures
trying
to
take
our
school
and
create
whatever
they
want
with
it.
This
is
the
problem.
An
excellent
school
was
closed.
Two,
the
building
has
become
a
threat
in
detrimental
harm.
Three.
It
should
be
condemned
and
sold
to
the
city
for
a
dollar
four.
It
must
be
torn
down
five
parks
and
trees.
Pittsburgh
funds
used
to
make
it
a
green
space.
E
F
I
am
is
Grand
Council
Chief,
member
of
the
Iroquois
Confederacy
of
Aboriginal
American
people
I'm,
also
chief
Aborigines
nation
of
the
Americas
and
I'm
here
today
to
speak
and
support
of
Shady
trees,
not
shooting
details,
and
by
now
and
no
I
am
not
staying
in
that
area.
But
I've
listened
to
this
wonderful
woman
speak
diligently
over
the
months.
Regarding
that
situation,
there
and
I
know
as
an
aborigine.
We
Steward
land
in
a
beneficial
way
for
future
generations
to
come,
and
that
is
a
good
model
that
she
speaks
up.
F
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
support
to
her
fight
for
the
people
there.
In
that
particular
area.
I
want
to
say
that
there's
an
issue
with
vacant
Lots
being
used
as
illegal
dump
sites,
and
it
is
in
the
Lincoln
Limington
area,
in
particular
between
seven
thousand
two
and
also
7
000
or
so,
and
addresses
that
start
at
69.98.
F
Pub.
There
is
a
lot
of
bordering
Manning,
Street
and
big
piles
of
what
looks
like
material
used
for
towering
the
streets
and
asphalt.
There
are
three
big
piles
that
could
only
have
been
dumped
by
a
big
truck.
There
are
many
more
heavily
littered
vacant,
Lots
in
the
Lincoln
lemington
area
and
I'm,
just
putting
a
call
out
there.
F
A
lot
and
I
speak
regarding
land
stewardship,
so
this
was
brought
to
my
attention
by
Joanne
and
she
works
with
the
Lincoln
lemington
consensus
group,
and
she
also
is
one
of
the
founders
of
the
Lincoln
limiting
Green
Team,
and
we
do
a
lot
of
work
to
clean
up
the
area
so
just
want
to
put
back
to
light
because
there's
an
issue
when
she
calls
3-1-1
and
no
one
comes
out.
So
you
know
we
love
our
communities.
F
We
want
to
see
them
Thrive,
we
want
to
see
our
children
be
able
to
play
in
the
making
box,
as
we
are
creating
Orchards
and
things
of
that
nature.
In
this
area
we
are
the
stewards
of
the
land
and
the
city
council,
we're
just
asking
that
you
take
consideration
and
and
check
on
3-1-1
and
see
you
know
what
is
the
issue
that
they
don't
come
out
and
address
these
issues
and
again
as
a
steward
of
the
land
here
in
this
particular
area,
the
Delaware
territory.
F
G
Hello,
thank
you.
Yes,
hello
city,
council
members.
My
name
is
Eric
vanistindale
and
for
the
past
13
months,
I
have
served
as
the
interim
executive
director
of
the
Community
Alliance
Spring
Garden
East
deutschtown
she's,
also
known
as
kazia
cascad's.
Volunteer
board
of
directors
has
been
in
operation
as
a
501c3
Community
organization,
since
2008
and
after
being
generously
funded
by
neighborhood
Economic
Development
grants
from
this
body
for
2022
and
2023
operations
has
spent
the
past
six
plus
months
action
and
strategic
planning
for
the
next
three
years
of
work
to
face
this
community.
G
First
Step
that
Kazu
has
engaged
in
is
actively
transitioning
into
official
rco
status,
with
assistance
from
the
city
of
Pittsburgh's
Department
of
City
Planning,
and
specifically
the
north
side's
designated
neighborhood
planner,
who
will
bring
a
wealth
of
the
city's
institutional
knowledge
to
negotiating
the
changing
real
estate
development,
ecosystem
and
land
use
in
these
communities.
My
comments
today
are
regarding
Bill
2022-0661.
The
wood
ring
Court
private
alley.
G
Ordinance,
the
overlapping
proposed
residential
multi-unit
townhome
development
that
serves
as
the
basis
for
Bill
2022-0661
and
the
creation
of
a
brand
new
private
Alleyway
is
four
plus
units
of
new
construction
which,
under
the
rco
status,
would
trigger
a
development
activities.
Meeting
having
a
structured
development
activities.
G
Meeting
for
casgid
with
the
landowners
and
potential
developments
is
a
stated
outcome
and
goal
of
the
rco
status
to
date,
fitting
in
with
casgid's
predominant
Mission
as
a
Grassroots
Community
organization
is
improving
the
quality
of
life
for
its
members
by
organizing
and
encouraging
efforts
to
revitalize
these
neighborhoods,
which
includes
a
robust
Community
engagement
campaign
around
things
such
as
a
new
development.
We
have
not
yet
engaged
in
a
guided
conversation
with
City
Planning
and
Kazan
Community
constituents,
alongside
the
proposed
developers
of
Woodring
Court
development
activities.
G
This
is
especially
important
where
new
traffic
patterns
and
privatization
of
the
public
way
are
proposed
through
new
curb
Cuts,
such
as
on
this
section
of
Seuss
monstreet,
one
of
the
major
stakeholders
of
which
is
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
Schiller
scheme
Academy
I
invite
city
council
to
continue
to
hear
feedback
from
the
Community
Alliance
of
Spring
Garden,
East,
Deutsch
town
and
especially
as
it
involves
City
Planning
moving
forward
on
this
matter.
Thank
you.
A
H
H
My
question
is
this:
whose
family
is
belongs
to
that
company
for
every
mayor
in
this
Nation
to
buy
these
to
buy
these
carts
or
whenever
they
is
the
reason
why
I'm
saying
that
I
saw
I
live
up
to
the
top
of
the
hill.
You
made
them
streets
I,
don't
know
why
they
made
them
streets
the
way
they
did,
but
there's
kids
look
like
a
12
year
old,
with
a
little
six-year-old
on
the
back
of
this
went
to
East
Liberty
out
there
them
kids
are
riding.
H
Do
you
realize
what
you
did
you
brought
them
in
put
them
there
and
didn't
tell
the
people
you
tell
them
after
you
did
that
you
need
to
tell
us
first
what
you're
going
to
do.
Our
question
asked
us
the
reason
why
I'm
saying
something
is
that
you
need
to
know
just
like
they're
going
to
have
this
post
agenda
at
1
30..
So
it
means
we
can't
talk.
We
got
to
listen
to
this
blah
blah
blah
blah
at
2
30..
We
have
to
sit
till
2
30
for
us
to
be
able
to
speak.
H
H
Now
I
keep
saying:
I'm
I
want
a
chance
to
see
what
I
bring
I
do
this
I
do
a
lot
of
writing
and
the
reason
why
is
because
I
believe
when
you
see
it,
you
remember
it
you
hear
you
might
forget
it,
but
when
you
know
you
know
now
I
gotta
sign
when
we
had
the
Juneteenth
Oprah,
the
name
of
the
lady,
the
little
lady
is
opal
and
she
was
coming.
H
She
came
to
Bethel
church
and
she
was
walking
to
Washington
DC
to
make
Juneteenth
a
holiday
because
remember
the
slaves
were
freed,
but
they
weren't
told
to
some
years
later
and
she's
saying
that
should
be
a
holiday
I.
Have
here
this
one
is
we
wanted
to
know
why
you
have
up
on
Bedford.
This
was
supposed
to
be
August,
Wilson,
okay,
you
had
where
sodas
was
two
dollars
a
piece.
A
slice
of
pizza
was
slice
of
pizza
was
four
dollars
a
piece.
A
cupcake
was
five
dollars
a
piece.
H
My
time
is
up,
but
I'm
telling
you
I
got
a
whole
lot.
That
I've
been
writing
for
years.
I
ain't
just
coming
down
here
just
to
talk
to
you
I,
want
you
to
understand.
There's
people
that
are
sending
me
down
here.
People
telling
me
to
come
down
I,
don't
want
to
come
down
with
all
the
time
and
I've
been
praying
for.
You.
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
further
speakers
any
further
speaker
seeing
none
that
will
move
us
to
our
standing
committee
agenda
members
we're
going
to
go
a
little
out
of
order
and
start
with
our
public
works
so
that
our
director
can
move
on.
So
we'll
begin
with
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
councilman
Krause
and
the
bill
will
be
1397.
B
1497
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
and
directors
of
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
the
Department
of
Finance,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
to
amend
and
renew
the
lease
agreement
with
Beaver
Avenue
Associates
LLC
to
continue
providing
a
lease
space
at
1301,
Beaver
Avenue
for
the
purposes
of
housing.
The
facility's
maintenance
division
of
the
Department
of
Public
Works
for
the
total
cost
not
to
exceed
716
401.42
cents
over
a
five-year
period
with
utilities,
costs
included
and
an
option
to
terminate
without
penalty
between
the
three
through
five
year
period,
if
necessary.
A
I
I
Good
morning
director,
so
I
held
the
bill
last
week
for
a
week
so
that
we
could
have
a
better
understanding.
Is
the
fiduciary
agents
of
the
city
as
to
a
700
000
expenditure
to
rent
space,
which
makes
me
a
little
bit
nervous
but
I,
don't
think
it's
something
new.
So
I
wanted
to
present
you
the
opportunity
to
explain
to
council
how
and
why
this
contract
needs
to
be
renewed.
J
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
courtesy
very
much
appreciated
Chris
hornstein,
director
of
Public
Works,
so
the
history
of
this
lease
is,
you
know
the
facilities
maintenance
division
was
relocated
from
their
previous
to
we
needed
without
lacking
in
space.
We
had
a
secure
release
this
term
an
option
year
on
the
previous
contract
came
up
and
the
landlord
reached
out
to
us
with
concerns
over
what
amounted
to
grossly
increasing
utility
costs.
J
So
we
reviewed
that
with
him.
We
reviewed
the
utility
costs
from
the
utility
companies
and
we
found
that
his
cause
was
justifiable
based
on
what
he
was
expending
on
the
city's
behalf
to
pay
for
utilities,
and
so
in
reviewing
the
terms
of
the
lease
the
landlord
was
willing
to
have
a
reduced
increase.
So
what
what's
represented
here
is
a
two
percent
annual
increase
over
the
previous
term
to
cover
the
cost.
I
So
we're
looking
at
about
a
hundred
it's
a
five-year
contract
for
700
000
about
a
hundred
ten
thousand
a
year,
roughly
I'm
pulling
that
and
I
brought
in
my
head.
Something
along
those
lines.
I
can
appreciate.
I
J
Correct
so
the
long-term
plan
for
the
facilities
maintenance
division
is
to
relocate
them
to
the
warehouse
and
Construction
Division
next
to
the
62nd
Street
bridge.
That
project
is
in
design.
There
are
capital
dollars
allocated
for
that
and
we
anticipate
that
construction
to
begin
in
2024.
So
it
was
advisable
also
for
us
to
extend
the
terms
of
those
lease
to
make
sure
that
they
they
have
a
location.
The.
I
Director
is
that
part
of
the
reason
why
the
Clause
to
terminate
that
our
our
discretion
was
included?
That's
correct.
That
makes
me
a
lot
more
comfortable
and
I'm
real
I'm.
Thank
you
for
for
that.
I
appreciate
that
that,
if,
if,
if
it
went
and
as
necessary,
we
can,
we
can
end
the
lease
without
a
penalty
in
terms
of
utility
increase
utilities
are
like
parking,
you
know
we
in
that
parking
is
not
about
adding
spaces.
It's
about
vehicle
reduction
utilities
is
not
about
paying
more.
I
Can
we
reduce
our
use
in
any
way
that
we
can,
and
so
I
just
say
that
to
say
that
you
know
with
escalating
utility
cost
and
I
do
understand
and
appreciate
that
we
also
have
a
responsibility
to
reduce
as
necessary.
Absolutely
I
appreciate
you
being
here
director,
I
I
will
be
supportive,
I
and
we'll
ask
my
colleagues
to
be
supportive
as
well
too,
but
I'm
sure
they
may
have
questions
for
you.
I
appreciate
you
being
here.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Any.
D
D
You
need
to
build
out
there
to
some
degree
in
order
to
do
that.
That's
correct,
so
you're
projecting
five
years
there,
maybe
and
we'll,
be
ready
to
move
and
get
out
of
the
lease
okay
yeah.
So
that's
our
property
six
sixty
seconds,
that's
correct,
okay!
So
no
more,
no
more
rent!
Well,
while
we're
on
the
subject,
you
know
I
can't
resist
I.
D
Thank
you
because
I
was
added
in
my
remarks,
but
the
fourth
Public
Works
division.
What's
the
latest
on
that?
You
know,
I
I
know
that
there's
no
Machinery
up
there
or
anything
and
I
didn't
know
if
the
supply
chain,
but
people
were
very
anxious,
they're
asking
me
all
the
time.
When
are
we
going
to
start
building
there?
D
And
you
know
I've
come
up
with
many
reasons
and,
as
you
know,
there's
been
many
reasons
why
we
haven't
started
it,
but
I'm
hoping
this
spring
this
summer.
J
It
seems
like
we
are
in
process
of
getting
the
final
improvements
for
permitting,
so
we're
hopeful
we're
going
to
be
going
out
to
bid
very
very
shortly.
We.
J
J
There's
you
know
some
just
actually
final
approvals
on
zoning,
which
all
paths
seem
to
be
clear.
It's
just
a
matter
of
you
know
Crossing,
T's
and
dotting
eyes.
If
you
will,
along
with
some
domey
requests
that
we're
following
up
on
and
they've,
been
very
supportive
in.
J
D
J
Correct
I
mean
our
our
designers
seem
to
indicate
that
everything
seems
to
be
standard,
materials,
I'm,
sure,
there's
going
to
be
lead
times
we're
experiencing
it,
notably
on
things
like
HVAC
is
what
comes,
to
my
mind
certain,
but
you
know
we
try
to
do
this
as
much
as
standard
equipment
as
much
as
possible.
We.
D
D
And
you
know
I'm
very
grateful
that
I'm
sure
we
saved
some
money
in
salt
this
year,
I
mean
if
ever
I
needed
a
mild
winter,
so
I'm
hoping
that
you
know
this
project
is
done
and
ready
for
December.
It
might
be
wishful
thinking
right
now.
I
promised
it
last
year
to
the
district
and
the
year
before
that,
even
though
it's
not
in
my
district,
it's
in
councilman
krause's
District,
but
it's
vital
to
you
know
it
serves
my
district
as
well
so
yeah
anything
you
could
give
me
on
that.
D
So
I
can
tell
the
public
I'll
be
at
some.
You
know
public
meetings
up
in
Carrick
and
Bonaire.
That's
where
we
had
the
majority
of
our
problems
in
Brookline
and
if
I
can
get
anything
from
them
like
when
are
the
permits
gonna
be
finalized
for
starters
and
then
we'll
immediately
put
it
on
for
bid.
Then?
Okay?
Okay,
that's
that's
it!
Thank
you.
Okay,.
C
A
Aye
give
me
a
post
thanks
very
much
recommendation.
Thank
you
also,
just
let
the
record
reflector
we
are
joined
by
councilwoman
gross.
She
wasn't
able
to
announce
herself
when
we
did
roll
call,
because
Zoom
wasn't
working,
but
it
should
be
working
now.
L
A
So
we're
now
going
to
the
beginning
of
the
agenda
and
we
have
the
financial
law
committee,
which
is
chair
by
myself.
Our
first
deferred
paper
is
Bill
1309.
B
B
I
N
You
yeah
that's
mine,
so
this
is
just
an
up.
It's
upgrade
to
existing
infrastructure
and
they're,
going
to
put
in
a
new
chlorine
booster
facility
and
a
few
other
things,
but
that
it
shouldn't
have
any
Major
Impact.
So.
C
A
M
C
I
C
L
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
so
I
also
just
want
to
thank
the
Director
of
Finance
for
talking
to
me
about
some
of
the
properties
on
the
side
yard
sale
in
my
district
and
thank
you,
council
members,
for
letting
this
wait
for
a
week
until
we
clarified
kind
of
it
was
a
really
confusion
about
what
yards
were
being
transferred
to
which
properties,
and
she
clarified
that
for
me,
so
I
am
appreciative.
Thank
you.
I
Motion
hold
for
executive
session.
Please,
second,
are.
I
N
Oh
approved
with
discussion
yeah
so
just
to
clarify
so
there
there
was
a
grant
of
this
is
back
a
couple
of
years
ago
there
was
a
grant
from
CMU
for
250
000
for
to
do
a
new
playground
and
Four
Mile
Run,
and
at
the
time
the
my
my
predecessor
had
said
that
that
we
could
do
a
little
bit
larger
project,
and
so
that's
what
was
planned,
and
you
know
in
terms
of
the
design
and
all
of
that.
But
then
the
the
additional
money
was
not
actually
there.
N
M
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
have
a
few
questions,
but
I'll
talk
to
you
afterwards
about
it,
because
I
want
to
be
honest,
I've
never
seen
a
new
council
member
move,
so
much
money
as
you
have
since
you
come
in
so
I
think
you
won
your
District's
lucky
that
you're
doing
it,
but
two
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
taking
money
from
projects
that
don't
me
or
others
you
intended
to
use
so
I'll
talk
to
you
later
about
it.
Thank
you.
C
A
Aye

Ocean.
D
To
approve
with
discussion,
second
lots
of
discussion:
how
are
you
up
to
councilman,
Krauss
wow,
you
sure
yeah
I
may
have
a
question
or.
I
Two,
but
let
me
see
what
you
said
are
you
here
for
this
come
on
up
come
on
down.
I
I
Administrative
officer,
sir
good
morning,
welcome
thanks
for
being
here,
so
it's
interesting
I've
been
having
this
conversation
a
lot
that
over
the
years
we
have
been
very,
very
lucky
to
have
a
surviving
and
thriving
downtown.
Even
though
many
other
cities
downtowns
were
not
so
lucky,
and
so,
even
though
I
was
never
really
followed
politics
per
se.
A
lot
I
was
always
engaged
in
sort
of.
You
know
what
certain
administrations
were
doing
and
what
their
interests
was
and
so
forth,
and
so
on
and
so
I
just
remember.
I
Under
the
Cal
de
jury
administration,
there
was
huge
Investments
made
in
downtown
where
Grant
Street
was
bricked
and
became
this
amazing
Avenue.
You
know
in
downtown,
remember
well
the
first
Renaissance
we
built
Oxford
and
one
melon
and
High
Mark
and
the
difference
in
that
we
tried
to
make
when
we
were
losing
retail
establishments.
Gimbals
closed
horns
closed,
but
Macy's
came
in
Piet
place
was
built,
Macy's
move,
mayor,
Murphy,
put
Lord
and
Taylor
in
the
old
Bank
building
the
Kaufman's
guide.
Well,
I'll.
Never
forget
closed.
I
It's
the
the
worst
thing
that
ever
happened
in
my
life,
I
swear
and
but
Macy's
came
in
and
you
know,
and
so
we've
always
had
this
sort
of
Comfort
level
of
a
really
vibrant
and
vital
downtown
we've
been
able
to
survive
it.
Now
this
doesn't
fall.
I,
don't
believe
this
Falls
at
the
feet
of
anyone.
This
is
sort
of
circumstance
and
Global
pandemic
and
how
the
world
has
changed
and
and
what
is
taking
place
in
the
world
broadly
and
how
it
is
affecting
our
downtown
nature
abhors
a
vacuum.
I
If
there's
nothing
there,
something's
going
to
move
in
to
fill
whatever
is
absent,
and
you
know
as
a
result
of
global
pandemic,
we
have
office
space,
that's
going
on
utilized.
We
have
workers
that
are
not
returning
to
work.
We
have
lots
of
people
working
from
home,
so
forth
and
so
on,
and
then
we
begin
to
see
this
sort
of
Nash
natural
cascading
effect
of
how
that
is
disrupting
downtown
and
that's
not
a
good
place
for
us
to
be
so
that
that's
the
broad
term.
I
You
know
discussion
that
needs
to
take
place
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
investment
in
downtown
I
was
a
very
strong
advocate
for
Tarka
coming
into
downtown
and
I.
Remember
working
closely
within
mayor,
peduto
and
and
I
actually
even
went
to
Chicago
to
look
at
their
Flagship
on
State
Street,
and
they
had
taken
this
amazing
old
department
store
and
turned
it
into
a
three-story
three-story
Mega
Target
right
on
State
Street
in
the
heart
of
downtown
Chicago.
It
was
just
amazing
and
I
had
such
hope
for
what
that
was
going
to
bring
to
downtown.
I
It
didn't
quite
turn
out
that
way.
I'll
save
that
conversation
for
another
day,
but
the
the
continued
investment
I
shouldn't
say
that
I
should
the
continued
activation
of
town
downtown
is
Paramount
that
we
need
people
on
the
street.
We
need
people
returning
toward
this
is
my
opinion.
People
returning
to
work
businesses,
thriving
investment
in
our
in
Residence.
We
need
I,
believe
investment
that
will
serve
residents
that
won't
want
to
come
and
live
downtown.
I
We
argue
we
don't
want
to
put
everybody
in
a
vehicle
to
go
and
buy
them
the
most
fundamental
Necessities
that
they
need
cat
food
and
dish
soap
or
whatever
we
want.
You
know
it
have
walkable
communities
where
people
can
live
and
Thrive
and
and
support
business
and
all
those
things
and
the
which
brings
us
to
this
bill.
I
just
had
lay
that
foundation
in
that
safety's,
Paramount
right
with
people.
This
idea
that
downtown
is
safe
is
just
isn't
safe
is
just
BS.
Let
me
tell
you
that
that's
my
opinion
and
my
experience
I
just
think.
I
That's
just
Tom
Foley
and
people
wanting
to
sort
of
project
this
image
that
downtown
is
not
safe.
Having
said
that,
I
like
this
and
I
really
want
to
hear
from
you
what
your
thoughts
are
about,
partnering
with
the
downtown
partnership,
in
that
we
in
the
South
Side
have
had
experience,
they
do
our
clean
team.
It's
been
a
wonderful
partnership
and
our
partnership
is
with
downtown
partnership,
but
it
is
with
block
by
block
so
I'm,
assuming
this
is
an
agreement
with
block
by
block
through
downtown
partnership.
So
I
said
all
that.
O
Excuse
me
is,
yes,
I,
think
all
that
you
said
you
know
in
the
in
the
context
that
you
were
laying
I
think
is
exactly
correct
and
I
think
lots
and
lots
of
of
folks,
downtown
and
institutions
downtown
are
looking
to
see
like
what's
my
piece
of
this.
What's
our
piece
of
this,
you
know
I
think
you'll
be
happy
to
learn
if
you
haven't
already
that
that
there
are
some
larger
room,
employers
that
are
going
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
coming
back
downtown
more
frequently
to
work
than
they
were
before.
C
O
Know:
conversion
of
spaces.
It's
why
we've
developed
I
think
you've
heard
a
very
specific
group
of
officers
who
are
assigned
to
downtown
as
if
it's
a
neighborhood,
because
it
is
a
neighborhood
and
so
little
by
little
we're
trying
to
put
the
pieces
in
place
to
make
sure
that
as
the
downtown
reinvents
itself
for
the
fourth
or
fifth
or
however
many
times
that
that
that
that
whole
call
is
really
healthy.
So
ambassadors
are
part
of
that.
Not
all
of
the
issues
that
people
have
downtown
and
those
issues
could
be
from
I.
O
Don't
know
where
is
Target
I'm?
You
know
I'm
coming
in
for
the
first
time
or
I'm.
Where
do
you
park
if
you're
going
to
the
stadium
some?
Sometimes
we
just
have
visitors
with
a
question.
Sometimes
we
have
behaviors
that
don't
really
need
a
response
from
you
know
from
an
officer
an
armed
officer.
They
just
need
somebody
to
say
yeah,
maybe
not
right
here
or
let
me
point
you
to
where
the
port
of
John
is
and
soon
we
hope
the
public
restrooms
will
be.
O
O
It
is
partly
based
on
the
experience
that
we've
had
in
the
south
side,
with
the
partnership
with
PDP
and
this
particular
entity
block
by
block
that
we
thought,
rather
than
have
us
running,
an
ambassador
team
and
them
running
an
ambassador
team,
since
they
also
had
resources
to
contribute.
You,
let's
run
one
Ambassador
team
and.
I
So
before
I
came
to
council
well,
let
me
back
up.
Let
me
walk
back
some
of
my
comments.
I
do
not
mean
to
minimize
those
that
are
concerned
about
Public
Safety
incidents
that
are
taking
place
downtown.
That
is
not
my
intent
by
any
by
any
means
that
I
want
to
validate
genuine
concerns
that
people
do
have
about
public
safety.
Issues
that
are
associated
with
downtown
is
I
want
to
make
that
perfectly
clear,
but
this
overall
notion
that
somehow
you
should
stay
away.
It's
just
I,
just
don't
I!
You
know.
I
If
the
only
place
I
would
ever
move
from
the
South
Side
ever
would
be
to
downtown
period.
That
is
I
would
only
go
deeper
into
the
city,
not
further
out
from
the
city.
That's
that's
the
the
kind
of
energy
that
I
need
to
to
live,
but
but
having
said
that,
the
when
I
I
before
I
came
to
council
I
had
to
design
business
and
part
of
my
design,
business
was
to
hang
wallpaper
and
I
was
a
damn
good
paper.
Hanger.
I
And
so
people
would
come
to
me
often
they
would
say
you
know
councilman,
we
tried
to
wallpaper
X
and
where
did
we
go
wrong?
My
stock
answer
was
always
because
you
didn't
hire
a
professional
to
begin
with
and
so
to
to
to
to
to
reference
your
remarks.
It's
important
to
go
to
the
professionals.
They
know
how
to
do
this
kind
of
stuff
and
block
by
block
has
an
extensive
experience
throughout
the
nation
working
in
large
metropolitan
areas.
I
Doing
exactly
this
and
we've
kind
of
tried
to
Pilot
this,
maybe
a
little
bit
in
the
south
side,
and
and
perhaps
maybe
you
know
there
could
be
in
time
a
sort
of
a
you
know-
an
adjunct
component
to
this,
to
where
we
might
introduce
a
few
of
these
public
ambassadors
into
this
house
side.
But
can
you
tell
us
a
little
little
bit
about
like
a
time
frame?
Are
you
looking
this
to
be
a
Monday
through
Friday
thing?
Are
we
focusing
on
weekends?
I
O
Very
much
wish
I
had
prepared
and
brought
you
a
schedule
which
I
will,
which
I
will
share
with
you.
They
have
a
schedule
and
no
the
the
they're
matched
to
the
hours
that
people
are
downtown
and
and
also
that
you
know
we
looked
a
little
bit
at
the
police
data
to
see
where
folks
are
downtown.
So
no
they
have.
Can
you
do
this
off
the
top
of
your
head?
O
They
have
to
dump,
they
have
to
have
more
than
one
shift
in
the
times
that
are
very
you
know
the
stretch
over
when
people
are
downtown
a
lot
and
there
is
a
little
schedule.
I
apologize
I
should
have
brought
it
I'll
share
it
with
you,
but
the
intent
is
to
have
continuous
coverage
for
when
folks
are
downtown
and
it's
a
team
of
I
think
eight
that
operate
under
a
lead.
You
know
to
make
all
of
that
happen.
I
In
terms
of
funding
six
hundred
thousand
dollars,
you
know
we
just
don't
go
back.
You
know
in
the
back
office
to
print
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It's
got
to
come
from
somewhere.
Do
we?
Is
it
solely
coming
out
of
our
budget
or
are
we
gonna
ultimately
look
at
grants
if
you
will
or
other
assistance
by
other
larger
Employers
in
downtown
to
help
with
this?
So.
O
We're
already
sharing
with
the
large
employers
downtown
the
PDP
did
fundraising
with
you
know,
whoever
they
do
fundraising
with
their
their
constituency
and
I.
Think
for
this
year,
where
we're
half
and
half
our
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
matching
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
there.
They
they
I,
believe
Jeremy,
told
me
have
actually
done
their
fundraising
for
several
out
years.
O
We're
you
know
just
talking
about
this
year
ourselves,
but
I
think
that
is
the
intent.
We
did
actually
look
for
some
pccd
money
and
some
grants,
and
so
on
and
this
year
that
that
didn't
work
out,
but
we
are
perfectly
happy
to
continue
to
seek
additional
funding
for
this
program.
Yeah.
K
And
I
think
as
a
program
as
you
mentioned
councilman,
this
has
been
a
success
in
other
cities.
I
think,
as
we
prove
proof
of
concept
here
in
Pittsburgh,
that
will
help
us
get
some
foundations
and
some
grant
funding
to
show
this
can
work.
It
provides
as
far
as
the
scheduling
it
it
will
vary.
So
when
there's
events
in
town
when
there's
baseball
games,
when
there's
a
concert
during
Three,
River,
Resorts,
Fest
et
cetera
there'll,
be
an
increased
amount
of
staff.
So
we
are
looking
into
data
and
we'll
shift
it
as
it
goes.
K
You
know,
as
people
come
back
to
work,
we'll
have
some
more
folks
brought
in,
but
it
is
a
matter
of
more
boots
on
the
ground,
more
people
out
there
looking
you
know:
I've
I
at
least
once
a
week
twice
a
week,
I
walk
through
downtown
dorm.
If
I
can
get
a
lunch
break.
C
K
Know
just
to
see
what's
going
on,
I
drive
past
Smithfield
Street
every
morning
just
to
see.
What's
you
know
the
concerns
and
take
a
look
myself?
This
is
going
to
be
a
force
multiplier
to
have
more
people
out
there.
That
can
then
report
back
as
we
meet
weekly
every
more
every
Tuesday
morning.
At
eight
o'clock
we
meet
with
our
officers
the
PDP
DHS
and
block
by
block
to
discuss
everything
that
everybody's,
seeing
in
work
and
formulate
plans
with
social
service
providers,
our
police
officers
County
again
the
PDP.
K
O
Say
one
other
thing
that
I
think
you
all
would
appreciate
is
that
the
everybody
is
paid
a
living
wage.
Everybody
is
in
the
union,
everybody.
O
So
you
know
we
want.
Oh,
we
want
our
ambassadors
to
be
part
of
a
important
group
of
people
doing
important
work
and
we
want
to
reward
them
accordingly.
So
you
know
block
by
block
I.
Think
I
know.
You
know
this
because
of
the
work
on
the
south
side,
but
they
are.
They
are
a
company
that
has
figured
out
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
I'm
sure
in
other
cities
as
well.
How
to
you
know
accommodate
the
way
that
that
we
like
to
remunerate
important
people
and
and
and
have
a
union
yep.
I
Unionized
workers,
unionize
wages-
you
know,
benefits
everything
that
goes
with
it
and
it
reflects
in
the
quality
of
work
that
is
performed.
There's
there's
a
good
symbiosis
is
that
the
word
I'm
looking
for
between
employer
and
employee,
and
we
we
personally
could
not
not
be
more
excited
and
and
pleased
with
our
partnership
with
block
by
block
through
downtown
partnership.
I
hear
it
every
day.
We
can't
imagine
what
it
might
be
like
if
they
were
not
out
there
every
every
day
like
they
are
so
anyway.
I
Just
one
last
comment:
I
promise
I'm
going
to
stop.
I
am
of
a
generation
where
downtown
was
the
center
of
Commerce.
There
was
nothing
else,
I
think
it
was
maybe
1963.
That's
how
old
I
am
that
that
Southwest
Village
was
built.
That
was
the
first
shopping
mall
in
you
know,
in
Western
Pennsylvania,
if
I
recall
correctly,
the
center
of
Commerce
was
downtown
and
I
come
from
a
generation
where
streets
were
six
deep
down.
You
know
this
you've
been
downtown.
C
I
Downtown
was
active
and
activated,
and,
and
you
know-
and
there
was
an
energy
to
being
downtown,
there
was
nothing
like
it
in
the
world
and
I
I
know
we'll
never
quite
get
there
again.
I'm,
not
you
know
behind
the
sky,
but
we
can
do
better
than
than
we
are
doing
now
and-
and
this
I
think
is,
will
be
an
integral
component
to
being
able
to
do
better.
That's
my
comments.
I
promise,
I'm
gonna,
stop.
M
M
M
To
say,
I
do
remember:
downtown
I
used
to
I
lived
on
Fifth,
Avenue,
I
grew
up
on
Fifth,
Avenue
and
I
would
walk
downtown
through
Uptown,
which
was
also
thriving
up
to
Oakland.
If
I
needed
to
go
to
Oakland
up
in
the
hill.
If
we
wanted
to
go
to
the
hill,
whatever
we
could,
you
could
walk
to
everything
and
there
was
always
something
along
the
way
you
know
to
to
support
and
I
actually
think
we
can
get
there
again
in
in
some
way,
but
I
think
we
have
to
incentivize
it
somehow.
M
But
but
my
concerns
are
more
I
want
to
know
details
who
holds
the
liability.
If
something
should
happen
with
these
ambassadors
in
Residence,
who
has
that.
K
Yeah,
so
that's
just
like
the
the
clean
team:
these
are
you.
M
Know
a
lot
about
the
clean
team:
we
don't
get
cleaned
on
our
side
of
the
time.
K
But
they're
down
they've
been
downtown
for
almost
30
years,
I
think
so
they
are
employees
of
subcontractors
to
the
PDP
and
employees
of
block
by
blocks.
All
the
insurance
and
liability
is
within
them.
Okay,
we're
essentially.
M
Seiu,
okay
and
then,
and
do
what
tell
me
exactly
they
they
help
people
in
some
ways.
Do
they
do
participate
in
the
cleanup
and
how
do
they
differ
from
the
other
groups
that
we
have
Down
The
Roots
program
and
how
will
they
coordinate
if
we
have
a
Resource
Centers
and
getting
people
to
those
and
with
the
people
working
in
mental
health
and
the
mental
health?
Arena
I'm
just
wondering
how
this
all
coordinates:
yeah.
K
So
that's,
it
is,
like
I
said
that
morning
meeting
we
have
once
a
week
right
now,
that's
where
most
of
this
is
coordinated.
We
probably
as
this
expands.
We
may
expand
that
a
little
more,
but
the
ambassadors
are
kind
of,
and
in
the
first
stop
so
when
they
see
a
person,
they
engage
with
them,
whether
it's
someone
who's
a
tourist,
a
visitor
or
a
business
person
or
someone
who
lives
downtown.
That
has
a
concern
or
someone
who
has
some
social
needs.
K
They
then,
or
even
the
youth
that
are
downtown
they'll,
be
engaging
with
all
the
folks
just
being
a
friendly
face,
working
with
them
and
then
helping
do.
M
C
K
You
know
you
see
a
group
of
kids
they'll
engage
it's
basically
to
find
the
needs
and
then
work
closely
with
all
the
teams
like
the
Reach
team,
or
you
know
our
gvi
and
reach
teams.
K
Safety
and
with
police
they're
very
much
training
with
them,
working
with
the
the
specialty
unit
that
we're
not
specially
in
but
the
unit
we
have
unit
of
police
officers
we
have
downtown
is.
M
O
They
have
they
absolutely
absolutely
shouldn't.
I
know
this
is
not
the
quite
the
question
you
asked
about
the
youth
and
rec
centers,
but
one
of
the
things
that
is
is
really
exciting.
To
me
about
having
ambassadors.
Is
you
know
when
our
when
our
students
graduate
from
high
school
they're
not
old
enough
to
go
into
the
academy,
because
in
Pennsylvania
you
can't
have
a
firearm
until
you're
older
than
that,
so
they
can
really
only
go
into
the
academy
when
they're
20..
O
So
I'm,
seeing
this
as
a
little
bit
of
a
I,
don't
know
a
shadow
job
for
folks
who
would
who
would
be
interested
so
I'm.
Very
interested
in
hearing
you
know
if
there
are
residents
who
who
want
to
be
here,
and
particularly,
if
they're,
if
they're
interested
in
in
public
safety
as
a
career.
M
That's
really
good
I
like
that
that
there's
some
kind
of
connection
there
I'm
gonna
go
because
I
know
all
the
my
colleagues
have
questions
but
I'm
going
to
probably
call
you
with
a
few
more
questions,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you.
I
want
to
say
that
the
same
thing
downtown
is
amazing.
What
we
need
is
to
be
not
only
for
people
to
feel
safe,
whether
it's
it's
perception
or
reality.
M
The
fact
is,
people
aren't
going
because
of
the
reasons
they're
hearing
on
TV
or
whatever
the
reasons
are
the
but
I
think
we
need
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
do
more
in
terms
of
making
our
downtown
as
viable
as
possible
and
I
think
that
when
I
think
of
the
memories
I
had
grown
up
and
seeing
downtown
the
windows
and
all
those
things
and
my
kids
had
those
same
memories,
I
mean
I
feel
I
feel
like
our
kids
are
being
in
robbed
of
that
opportunity
and
I
think.
M
Maybe
if
we
could
also
partner
with
downtown
to
do
more
in
councilman,
Laval
and
councilman
Wilson
both
represent
the
area
now
correct
I
think
we
could
do
more
to
help
downtown
Thrive
and
incentivize
more
businesses
coming
into
downtown
in
a
better
way.
I
think
that's
that's
what
we
need
to
do,
because
I
think
the
more
business
is
coming,
the
more
people
will
come.
The
more
people
will
keep
the
area
safe,
so
I
mean
you
know
the
whole
story,
so
I'm
just
thinking
there's
some
way
we
can
help
in
that
regard.
I'd
love
to
help.
C
D
Day,
director
and
chief,
how
are
you
so
much
like
my
colleagues
Madam
president
and
councilman
Krause
I
care
deeply
about
downtown?
It's
disturbing
to
hear
businesses
moving
out
and
things
of
that
nature,
so
I'm
glad
that
we've
taken
this
step
to
incorporate.
You
know
a
team
of
eight
I
believe
it
was
yeah.
D
So
my
first
question
is
this:
do
we
they've
been
on
the
street
now
for
almost
a
month
week,
a
couple
weeks,
yeah,
okay,
okay,
so
are
we
recording
data,
say,
for
instance,
if
Ambassador
has
to
call
a
police
officer,
do
we
are
we
recording
all
that
like
how
many
times
are
they?
You
know
each
Ambassador
are
they
kind
of
documenting?
You
know
who
they
helped,
what
they
helped
out
with
or
if
they
had
the
call
in
the
PPD
or.
O
I,
don't
know
I,
you
know
it's
a
good,
it's
a
good
question
and
I
don't
know
the
details.
We
should
get
the
details
for
you.
What
I
do
know
is
that
the
the
meeting
that
Lee
keeps
referencing
that
happens
on
Tuesday
morning,
they're
clearly
reading
through
reports
that
they
are
keeping
themselves.
So
so
you
know
when
they
say
you
know:
I
encountered
this
at
this
time
and
I
encountered
that
at
that
time,
so
they're
definitely
doing
some
reporting.
D
I
was
really
happy
to
hear
of
this,
because
I
actually
called
Jeremy
and
Wanted
to
sign
up
as
an
ambassador,
I
didn't
know,
it
was
like
a
paid
position
or
anything
at
the
time,
but
you
know
like
again,
like
my
colleagues,
like
all
my
colleagues
I'm
sure
we
care
greatly
about
downtown
and
I
just
felt
like
the
need,
but
I
have
two
full-time
jobs
and
I
probably
didn't
make
the
cut
so
I
didn't
pursue
it
beyond
that.
D
So
so
yeah
I'd
like
to
know
like
how
many
times
they
felt
the
need
to
call
a
police
officer.
If,
if
we're
going
to
be
keeping
those
records-
and
the
other
thing
was
we're
in
for
six
hundred
thousand
and
I,
didn't
realize
that
I
thought
that
the
partnership
I
mean
they
clicked
nine
ten
million
dollars
a
year
in
hotel,
motel
tax
I
thought
they
took
this
initiative.
Was
it
us
that
reached
out
to
them
or
did
they
approach
us
with
the
idea?
How
did
this
come
about?
I.
K
Think
it
was
the
meshing
of
two
ideas,
so
they
had
the
idea
of
downtown
and
downtown
ambassadors
for
the
purpose
of
more
of
a
tourism
faction
to
to
kind
of
guide
people
in
places
and
do
some
engagement.
We
had
the
idea
of
some
Public
Safety
ambassadors
kind
of
like
Chief
Frank,
said
to
for
a
couple
things.
One
is
to
have
a
representative
out
there.
That
would
be
the
an
additional
set
of
eyes
for
Public
Safety
reporting
back
also
a
bridge
program
for
people
that
might
be
interested
in
a
public
safety
field.
K
What
a
better
way
to
get
some
experience
to
than
to
engage
with
people
on
a
regular
basis,
learn
how
people
kind
of
work
and
play-
and
you
know,
live
in
a
space
together
than
to
be
out
in
a
downtown
a
vibrant
area.
Just
talking
so
I
think
as
we
sat
and
talked,
we
realized
instead
of
each
of
us
doing
our
own
thing.
How
do
we
unify
this
and
make
something
that
makes
the
most
sense
and
probably
the
most
efficient
way
to
do
this
program,
so
that's
kind
of
where
this
came
from?
K
D
K
I
think
the
intent
is
to
have
more
than
eight
that's
just
all
they
have
hired
so
far.
I,
don't
remember
the
final
numbers,
but
we'll
get
that
I.
D
O
I'm
not
sure
I
can
pull
up
the
budget,
but
but
director
Schmidt
is
is
right.
I
think
we've
got
eight
out
now
and
I
think
the
intent
is
to
get
to
that
full
kind
of
coverage,
two
shifts
you
know
or
shift
that
crosses
the
over
into
the
into
the
wee
hours.
O
So
let
me
share
with
you
the
budget,
the
the
what
I
remember
are
the
figures
like
with
the
roll
up,
not
exactly
what
people
are
taking
home
in
their
pockets,
but
it's
in
the
the
mid
to
high
20s
an
hour
with
or
with
the
roll
up,
with
the
health
benefits
and
with
the
pension
and
and
all
of
that,
so
it's
not
I
mean
it's
it's
decent
money.
It's
not
exorbitant.
D
K
Yeah
and
as
Chief
Frank
mentioned,
the
PDP
has
figured
out
funding
for
a.
C
K
K
Yeah
they're
in
a
very
soft,
very
similar
to
what
the
clean
team
wears
but
different
colors
and
are.
D
We
going
to
be
asked
to
put
up
another
600
000
next
year,
or
are
we
just
gonna
see
what
that
pot
of
money
is
at
the
end
of
this
year?
Is
that
right?
So
no
commitments
Beyond
this
year?
No
not
yet
on
either
part
the
partnership
or
ours
I
mean
we're
committed
to.
Hopefully
the
program
works,
and
you
know
we.
D
We
hope
it
thrives
and
is
helpful
and
I
love
the
idea
of
having
eyes
on
the
street
down
there
other
than
police
officers,
armed
police
officers
and
just
help
tourists
and
you
know,
report
anything
that
they
might
see
so
yeah
I
guess
I
was
just
hoping
and
I
figured
I
thought
that
the
partnership
kind
of
was
footing
the
bill
because
it's
in
their
interest
and
I
didn't
realize
that
we
were
going
to
be
paying
for
half.
D
D
Gross
right
too
early
to
say
if
it's
been
a
success,
but
any
feedback
that
we
can
get
in
the
coming
months
would
be
great
as
far
as
you
know
what
these
ambassadors
see
down
there.
So,
okay,
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
P
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
and
I
have
to
say
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
I
have
a
a
good
analogy.
I
don't
know
if
I
have
a
wallpaper
analogy
in
me
today,
but
thanks
for
thanks
for
being
here
and
thanks
for
going
to
the
program,
can
you
tell
me
what's
unique
about
the
the
ambassadors
versus
Outreach
workers
like?
Is
there
one
aspect
of
it?
That's
that's
unique
about
ambassadors
versus
Outreach
workers.
K
Yeah
I
think
well
the
wallpaper
analogy.
K
K
The
ambassadors
are
kind
of
the
folks
that
direct
people
to
those
programs
and
work
with
them
so
they're
an
additional
set
that
aren't
necessarily
specialized
as
much
they're
more
of
a
general
contractor,
I
guess
so
to
speak,
and
then
they
send
them
based
on
which
path
they
feel
they
should
go
down.
You
know,
as
they
engage
with
someone
when
they
see
someone.
Sometimes
it's
a
referral.
Sometimes
it's
hey.
Do
you
know
we
have
a
hub
for
the
roots
team.
You
know
up
on
Smithfield's
dream.
K
If
it's
somebody,
that's
unhoused
or
having
an
addiction
issue,
Let's
help
you
get
up
there
and
then
kind
of
hand
them
off
again,
it's
more
of
a
force
multiplier
same
with
the
reach.
They
would
work
with
Mad
Dads
and
the
Reach
team,
and
even
our
officers
when
those
incidents
happen,
but
then
they're
also
down
there
to
give
directions
like
how
do
I
find
where
to
get
the
91
bus
and
when
there's
a
parade.
How
do
I
find
to
get
the
91
bus
because
we
my
streets,
close,
that
it's
normally
on?
K
O
We
kind
of
want
the
ambassador
to
make
the
handoff
and
then
get
back
out
sort
of
being
eyes
and
ears,
so
I
think
of
them
more
as
a
kind
of
soft
Patrol.
They
know
what
to
do,
but
they're
not
really
going
to
do
it
or
depending
on
what
it
is.
If
it's
just
giving
directions-
or
you
know
you
can't
do
that
here-
move
along
kind
of
thing
they
can
they.
There
are
some
problems
that
they
can
take
care
of
as
they
move,
but
some
they
can't
and
we
want
them
to
keep
moving.
P
That
was
helpful,
I
was
thinking
of
one
of
the
answers
and
what
it
could
be
because
I
don't
really
know.
I
just
saw
this
on
the
I
think
it
was
on
the
news
and
there
was
a
post
about
it
when
they
started
walking
around
downtown,
but
it
seems
like
one
of
the
unique
things
about
it
is
that
they
will
be
identifiable.
Like
you
said,
in
a
soft
pull,
you
didn't
say
that,
but
you
know
so
they
were
in
some
sort
of
identify.
P
You
know
some
sort
of
uniform
right,
whereas,
like
an
Outreach
worker,
you
wouldn't
know
that
they're
an
Outreach
worker
because
they
would
just
be
in
some.
You
know
clothes
that
would
blend
in
you
know
with
everyone
else
downtown,
but
these
are
like
what
color
is
the
shirt
yellow.
K
K
Market
Square
gets
busy
so
something
you
know
there
might
be
more
than
one
person
there,
but
yeah
they'll
they'll,
walk
differently
and,
like
you
said,
different
different
Outreach.
C
C
K
Clothes
they
just
you,
wouldn't
know
them.
The
reach
workers
usually
wear
the
reach
uniform
without
retreating
on
the
back.
So.
P
Okay,
just
curious
downtown's,
not
too
big,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
so
and
also
I
should
just
say
for
the
for
the
record:
I'm
Morrison
taking
down
wallpaper
these
days,
but
hopefully
I
don't
take
out
any
wallpaper
you
put
up,
but
now
I
appreciate.
You
know
everything
that
you're
looking
into
and
I'm
curious
to
see
how
the
program
develops
in
terms
of
training.
Is
there
one
like
National
approach,
since
you
mentioned
the
other
cities
are
doing
this
like?
Is
there
one
National
model
that
they're
following
for
training
and.
K
K
They're
using
them
to
connect
yeah
and
they're
using
a
similar
program,
they
use
in
other
cities
for
block
by
block
and
then,
like
I,
said
we're
also
working
through
ways.
This
program
is
very
new
ways
that
we
can
better
have
collaborative
training
with
the
Outreach
teams,
the
police
officers
and
the
ambassadors,
so
everybody's
kind
of
all
walking
together
as
we
do.
These
programs.
O
O
This
is
a
job
where
you
could
see
if,
if
you
weren't
being
thoughtful
about
that,
you
could
just
sort
of
churn
through
people
on
board
them
off
boredom
on
board
them
off
boredom
and
the
the
the
training
isn't
just
like
goes
from.
Okay,
good
you're
ready
to
go.
Here's
your
uniform,
but
people
are
trained
all
the
way
through
their
tenure
and
and
really
kind
of
targeted
for
leadership
development.
So
they
have
a
you
know
they
do
leadership.
O
Identification
they've
got
developments,
they've
got
you
know,
employee,
coaching
and
things
that
happen
so
that
people
can
move
from
what
they
call
a
Hospitality
Ambassador
through
a
leadership
level.
That
I
can't
recall
what
is
called
something
like
dispatch
or
something
you
know
into
team
lead,
and
then
you
know
in
the
company
itself
so
that
that
was
something
that
was
really
attractive
to
me,
particularly
as
we
thought
about.
If
we're
going
to
say
to
our
residents.
Okay
come
on,
this
is
a
halfway
decent
job.
Then
it
would
be
nice.
P
Thanks
I
remember
in
the
peace
plan
there
was
something
referencing
I
think
it
was.
Ambassadors
was
that
was
it.
Was
this
referenced
in
the
peace
plan,
yeah.
O
Spots
with
slightly
different,
you
know:
flavors
yeah,.
P
But
yes,
so
when
I
heard
yeah,
when
I
heard
that
in
the
original
peace
plan,
I
I
was
assuming
that
it
was
kind
of
wherever
the
hot
spots
would
be
or
wherever
we
felt
there
was
the
need,
I
didn't
realize
it
would
be
only
specifically
for
downtown.
Is
there
an
opportunity
if
it's
successful
to
to
grow
it
to
other
areas.
C
O
Know,
let's
sort
of
get
this
worked
out
and
see
how
it
goes
and
evaluate
it
and
get
the
reports
that
councilman,
Cog
Hill
is
looking
for
and
and
see
and
then
yeah
I
think
I
can
think
of
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I,
don't
know
three
or
four
spots
where
it
no
I
didn't
okay,
so,
oh
anyway,
you
know
because
you
could
you
could
easily
see
that
being
useful
in
some
other.
You
know
quarters
in
the
city,
but.
O
P
C
O
That's
that's
what
director
Schmidt
was
saying
is
that
we
sort
of
were
thinking
about
it
and
thinking
about
well,
we
should
stand
it
up
or
whatever
and
then
ran
into
the
downtown
partnership
saying
we
want
to
do
this
and
thought
all
right.
Well,
this
is
how
we'll
get
this
started.
This
I
will
pilot
this.
How
we'll
get
the
wrinkles
out
of
it
and
then.
K
Q
Q
The
thought
you
put
into
this
we've
talked
a
lot
already
so
I
understand
pretty
clearly
what
the
ambassadors
will
do.
Is
there
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
say
about
what
they
won't
do,
so
that
we're
clear
about
that?
We've
we've
touched
on
a
lot
like
what
what
is
the
line
for
them
to
say,
intervene
or
not
intervene
or
to
you
know,
pass
it
along
to
someone
who
has
different
training
if
there's
something
we
haven't
covered
already
that
that
you'd
like
to
share
elaborate
on
I'd
love
to
hear
that.
K
The
only
thing
I
would
say
is
that
they're,
not
enforcement
right.
That's
why
our
law
enforcement
officers
are
downtown,
but
they
are
someone
who
would
have
some
duty
to
intervene
if
they
see
an
overdose,
if
they
see
a
fight
work,
they're
trained
in
some
de-escalation
techniques,
that
sort
of
thing,
so
they
would
be
the
you
know.
If
something
happens
in
front
of
them,
they
would
act
but
they're
not
going
to
cite
people
they're
going
to
be
the
person
who
kind
of
asked
them
to
not.
K
You
know
to
stop
doing
the
behavior,
and
if
that
doesn't
work,
then
they
will
call
in
law
enforcement
to
take
into
that
next
step.
Okay,.
Q
I,
like
the
layer
on
top
of
this,
of
this
being
an
entry
point
to
possible
Public,
Safety
jobs
and
careers
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
a
plug
into
our
our
crossing
guard
program
and
that
these
seem
like
perfect
candidates
for
crossing
for
many
different
positions,
including
crossing
guards.
So
I
hope
that
that
is
part
of
that
and
that
we're
really
recruiting
heavily
from
this
population
of
of
workers
to
to
consider
those
positions
as
well
since
I
know
that
we're
desperate
for
we're
desperate
for
so
many
positions,
I
get
it.
Q
But
you
know
that's
one:
that's
included
there
and
then
I'll.
Lastly,
say:
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
the
the
transition
to
a
different
type
of
downtown
or
what
downtowns
look
like,
and
you
know
I
understand
that
every
downtown
is
going
to
look
a
little
bit
different.
Every
city
is
a
little
bit
different,
every
commercial
District's
a
little
bit
different,
and
what
I
recognize
is
that
like?
Even
if
we
don't
get
all
the
office
workers
back
and
even
if
we
don't
have
a
huge
population
of
residents
living
downtown?
Q
Quite
yet,
you
know
I
think
what
every
type
of
person
is
looking
for,
whether
they
live
there
or
they're,
a
tourist
or
they're.
You
know
coming
in
from
out
of
the
city,
but
in
the
county
is
an
experience
more
than
shopping
right,
and
it's
not
all
it's
not
necessarily
going
to
go
back
to
the
you
know,
Big,
Time
stores
and-
and
you
know,
shopkeepers
and
people
who
are
catering
to
a
business
crowd.
Q
The
tailors
the
dry
cleaners
as
much
as
it
might
be,
restaurants,
and
it
might
be
the
18-hour
economy,
as
councilman
Krause
likes
to
mention,
with
his
with
the
office
of
nighttime
economy.
So
I
heard
a
statistic
from
Boston
that
the
financial
district
has
actually
more
restaurants
than
it
did
pre-pandemic
than
as
some
of
these
other
types
of
service
industry
shops
are
closing.
Q
So,
to
the
extent
that
outside
of
this
particular
Bill
and
this
particular
program,
something
something
that
I
have
been
thinking
about
and
wanted
to
say
about
as
well.
Thank
you.
N
Well,
I
guess:
I'll
just
cut
right
to
the
chase.
Is
there
any
way
to
get
this
in
Squirrel
Hill,
because
this
is
like
exactly
what
I
need
in
Squirrel
Hill
I'm?
Getting
lots
of
you
know,
folks
coming
and
what
they're
asking
for
you
know
because
there's
you
know
whether
it's
folks,
you
know
at
you
know,
panhandling
on
the
street
or
sleeping
in
in
in
doorways
and
such
and
you
know,
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
requests
from
business
owners
to
oh,
could
we
ramp
up
the
police?
Could
we
get
more
and
I'm?
N
You
know,
and
that
doesn't
feel
like
the
right
solution
to
me,
but
this
feels
like
the
right
solution.
So
I
don't
know
I
mean
in
terms
of
increasing
job
security.
For
your
your
folks
I.
This
is,
if
you
wanted
to
Pilot
it
in
another,
neighborhood
I
mean
I
feel
like
one
person
would
be.
All
it
would
take
for
I
mean
it's
basically
just
Forbes
and
Murray
right.
You
know,
and
that
would
be
like
just
what,
because
you
know
people
don't
feel
comfortable
themselves
saying.
Could
you
not
do
that
here?
K
I
know,
councilman
Wilson
already
mentioned
it,
but
to
your
point,
I
think
as
this
Pro
and
actually
councilman
Crouse
mentioned
it
too,
as
this
program
develops,
and
we
see
that
we're
doing
a
good
concept
and
we
kind
of
have
the
policies
and
trainings
and
stuff
figured
out
I
think
the
next
evolution
of
that
would
be
to
then
you
know
Place
some
of
these
positions
in
those
in
other
neighborhoods,
whether
it's
the
South
Side
on
the
weekends
and
evenings,
whether
it's
Lawrenceville
Squirrel,
Hill,
North,
Shore,
et
cetera,
like
when
people
come
to
the
city.
K
We
want
to
make
sure
they're
being
engaged
with
people
that
are
representing
the
city
and
realistically
it
provides
a
training
and
a
career
path
into
public
safety
into
other
city
services,
especially
for
people
that
are,
you
know
not
quite
done
with
school
or
University
or
trying
to
figure
out
where
they
want
to
be.
This
is
a
great
way
to
see
a
lot
of
how
you
would
engage
with
public
and
where
they
want
to
go.
So
you
know,
maybe
you
have
an
idea.
K
You
want
to
be
a
police
officer,
and
then
you
do
this
for
a
little
bit
and
you
see
what
the
Medics
are
doing.
You
realize
I'd
like
to
be
a
paramedic
or
you
see
the
crossing
guards
and
say
that
looks
like
a
good
job
for
me
and
you
know
get
them
a
little
bit
of
experience
or
a
park.
Ranger
Etc
so
but
I
I
do
think.
We
can
definitely
look
at
expanding
those
and
we
would
probably
just
need
to
come
to
you
all
for
money.
C
O
Also,
it's
just
kind
of
it's
just
kind
of
lovely
right,
I
mean
to
me:
I
mean
it
feels
that
ambassadors
I'm,
like
oh,
that's
kind
of
a
goofy
name,
but
but
you
know,
I
stopped
and
thought
about
it
and
I
thought
you
know
how
nice
it
is
for
for
the
city
to
have
Personnel
that
are
kind
of
the
face
of
the
city
and
and
know
the
range
of
stuff
and
know
how
to
help
people-
and
you
know
and
are
have
de-escalation
skills.
N
O
I
wonder
if
people
it's
probably
because
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
question
like
I
wonder
if,
if
we
could
probably
arrange
if
people
would
like
to
to
talk
with
block
by
block
and
sort
of
ask
that
like
when
do
you?
When
do
you
feel,
like
you
know,
okay,
this
thing
is
gelling.
What
would
you
think
about
taking
people?
You
know
how
would
it
be
different
to
have
downtown
ambassadors
who
are
working
in
teams
of
eight
from
Seven
a.m,
as
it
turns
out
to
midnight
at
least
on
some
days?
O
No,
not
one
and
best.
You
know,
that's
two
shifts
you
know
to
to
an
area
like
this.
How
would
the
training
differ,
and
you
know
just
really
sort
of
talk
that,
through
with
them
and
begin
to
get
a
handle
on
it?
The
mayor
went
and
visited
the
ambassadors
while
they
were
in
their
training
as
well
and
I.
Imagine
you
know
they
wouldn't
want
everybody
to
descend
all
at
once,
but
if
people
wanted
to
go
and
have
a
peek
at
it
I
imagine
we
could
arrange
that
as
well.
O
C
L
I
think
you
all
I'm
going
to
lower
my
hand
on
my
screen
now.
Thank
you.
So
great
discussion,
I
appreciate
everyone
else's
questions
and
the
answers.
I'm
I'm
also
enthusiastic
to
see
how
this
program
works
and
I've
been
doing
a
little
reading
about
block
by
block
I
wasn't
as
familiar
with
them
as
councilman,
Krauss
and
I
do
see
that
they
are
active
in
a
hundred
cities
according
to
their
website
and
that
they
do
have
kind
of
several
main
buckets
of
services
like
cleanliness.
L
So
the
clean
team
work
is
one
bucket,
but
Outreach
Services
is
another
on
their
website
and
they
themselves
describe
it
as
working
with
members
of
the
street
population,
but
also
a
well-formulated
plan
for
outreach,
including
Social
Services,
Outreach
coordinators.
L
So
it's
not
social
workers
per
se,
but
coordinators
to
social
workers,
connect
with
non-service
providers
and
also
assessments
of
what
is
happening
on
the
street
and
understanding
on
people's
perceptions
of
the
local
Social,
Service
System.
It
says
so
I'm
assuming
that
and
I
think
you've
said
this.
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
myself
that
block
my
block
will
be
providing
both
a
clean
team
and
an
Outreach
team,
but
those
aren't
the
same.
Employees
am
I
understanding
this
right.
That's.
O
L
L
L
It
also
says
alleviating
stresses
on
police
and
improving
event
safety,
and
so
we've
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
that
you
know
it's
their
physically
identifiable
in
their
yellow
t-shirts,
but
they
seemed
in
the
on
the
website,
at
least
to
have
kind
of
like
a
police,
radio,
Maybe
and
I'm,
really
fascinated
by
us
kind
of
adding
more
it's
not
exactly
the
same
as
diversion
but
adding
more
Staffing
to
do
that.
L
K
Yeah
I
think
you
you're
right,
so
it
it
allows,
which
is
what
we've
talked
about,
and
this
is
what
our
officers
say
too,
is
some
of
the
lower
level
things
some
of
the
the
things
that
and
they
will
they
do-
have
radios
of
their
own
they're,
not
on
our
radio
system.
L
Think
it
does
thank
you
and
again
sticking
with
the
legislation
I'm
reading
the
fiscal
impact
statement
and
so
help
me
to
understand
it
says
total
cost
of
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It
says
funding
source
is
trust
funds.
It
has
a
jde
number.
Is
this
stock?
The
violence
trust
fund.
K
L
Okay,
I'm
I'm
I
think
that's
the
appropriate
use
of
funds,
because
I
also
kind
of
have
this
bulletin
list.
I
wrote
down
in
front
of
me
of
your
Tuesday
Morning,
a
great
meetings
or
kind
of
coordinating
group,
violence,
intervention
and
police
and
reach
and
roots,
and
those
are
all
kind
of
mainly
Stop,
the
Violence
funded
other
activities.
So
it
just
kind
of
makes
sense
to
me,
but
it
wasn't
said
in
words,
so
that
was
helpful.
L
I
appreciate
that
and
then
the
last
question
I
have
is
similar
to
other
members
also,
but
we
have
been
working
on
doing
Crisis,
Intervention
training
for
the
front
line
and
Retail
workers
that
we're
hoping
to
launch
this
year,
and
so
these
new
Outreach
workers
seem
to
probably
have
that
training.
L
K
Yeah
they
do
currently
do
their
own
training.
We're
also
looking
at
that
to
see
how
they
can
do
that
in
conjunction
with
our
other
Public
Safety
bureaus
just
to
make
sure
everybody's
kind
of
walking
together
and
having
the
same
training.
So
I
think
that's
a
an
idea.
We
could
definitely
talk
to
block
by
block
about
providing
outside
training
to
you
know,
service
industry,
folks
that
are
not
only
downtown
but
throughout
the
city.
So
maybe
we
do
have
a
standardized
training
program.
It's
for
everybody
right
so.
L
Yeah,
exactly
I
think
that
this
is
kind
of
like
it
is
starting
to
have
kind
of
mutually
reinforcing
kind
of
efficiencies,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
about
the
program.
I
understand
it's
just
downtown,
but
it
really
seems
like
we're,
adding
resources
where
we've
been
hoping
to
add
resources
so
and
eager
to
see
how
it
works
out.
I'm
supported
today.
That's
all
I
have
Mr
chair.
M
I
really
wanted
to
know
about
the
radios
and
or
about
the
whether
they'd
have
the
walkie-talkies
or
something
like
connected
to
us
somehow,
but
I
just
want
to
say
back
when
I
was
first
selected,
we
had
remember,
we
had
nextels
and
when
you
could
press
a
button-
and
you
know
it's
a
push
button
radio
on
stickers,
they
were
like
the
best
way
to
get
a
hold
of
city
employees
because
they
couldn't
ignore
it.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
was
one
of
them,
so
I
went
I
know
they
make.
M
M
M
Well,
you
know
it
sounds
great
that
somebody's
going
to
clean
up
and
somebody's
going
to
say
you
know,
welcome
people
to
town,
but
the
reality
is
we're
changing
policing
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
as
we
do
that,
what
it
I
think
is
this
part
of
the
the
interim
process
of
getting
to
a
place
where
we're
doing
different
things
differently
in
terms
of
policing.
What
I'm
trying
to
say
is
that
is
I.
M
Think
people
want
to
see
that
there's
somebody
with
a
problem
like
I
just
saw
something
and
I
shared
with
some
of
the
members
that
there
was
a
fight,
downtown
and
and
that's
what
people
are
going
to
see.
They're
going
to
see
the
fight
they're
going
to
see
the
that
that's
going
to
be
all
over
the
news.
It's
going
to
be
trash
all
over
the
place.
There's
going
to
be
that
there
are
people
that
are
homeless
with
a
drug
and
alcohol
problems,
some
sex
offenders
registered
sex.
That's
what
people
read
and
see
every
day.
M
M
Truly,
it
does
sound
like
you're
doing
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
the
public
needs
to
know
I
think
what
is
what
are
we
doing
now?
That's
going
to
make
people
feel
safer
in
downtown
Pittsburgh
to
make
people
want
to
come
downtown
to
make
people
want
to
invest
in
downtown.
So
could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
it
because
I
think
that's
what
people
are
here.
I
mean
honestly,
it
sounds
great,
but
I
I
don't
want
to
I
feel
like
when
I
question
things
you,
you
feel
like
I'm
attacking
your
program.
M
K
I
think
this
is
something
even
our
officers
asked
for.
You
know:
I
meet
with
the
fop
quite
frequently,
but
regularly
at
least
once
a
month
and.
K
K
M
K
K
Yes,
we
want
them
to
enforce
the
laws
and
do
what's
right
and
what
they're
trained
to
do
when,
but
we
also-
and
even
officers
have
said
this
nuisance
or
what
they
might
consider
a
nuisance
call
a
quality
of
life
issue
minor
infractions,
don't
necessarily
need
a
police
officer,
they
might
just
need
services
or
help
and
it
allows
officers
to
focus
on
the
criminal
activity
versus
the
Social
Services
activity,
which
officers
are
I
mean
we
do
have
all
of
our
officers,
go
through
CIT
program,
so
they
are
trained
to
help
with
that,
but
to
as
Chief
Frank
stated
earlier.
K
Sometimes
when
you
have
someone
in
crisis
you're
there
for
a
couple
hours
with
them,
we
can't
have
an
officer
dedicated
to
someone
for
a
couple
hours.
What
helps
is
if
the
officer
has
someone
else
they
can
hand
off
to
or
if
there's
other
folks,
that
don't
that
can
intervene
before
an
officer
even
needs
to
be
there
which
is
kind
of
what
these
ambassadors
are
for.
So
when
you
see
someone
who's
unhoused
or
has
an
addiction
issue
and
they're
down
there,
and
these
the
ambassadors
would
see
them,
then
they
can
connect
them
with
the
roots
team.
K
K
M
K
That's
another
reason
for
the
ambassadors,
so
we
don't
need
to
bring
as
many
officers
down,
because
the
ambassadors
can
be
a
force
multiplier
for
them.
As
you
all
know,
our
our
staffing
numbers
are
low.
We're
not
alone
that.
K
To
neighboring
cities
or
not
neighboring
cities,
but
other
major
cities
throughout
the
country,
I've
talked
to
some
of
those
Chiefs
and
Public
Safety
directors
they're
down
a
third
of
their
Force.
Luckily
we're
not
that
at
that
point,
and
we
don't
want
to
get
to
that
point,
but
some
of
it
is
a
matter
of
Wellness
for
officers.
Often
it's
not
a
fun
job.
When
you
have
to
continuously
work
overtime,
when
you
always
have
to
deal
with
things
that
aren't
necessary
what
you
signed
up
for
and
you
don't
have
the
resources.
K
This
is
an
additional
resource
for
all
of
our
Public
Safety
folks
and
for
the
residents
as
far
as
how
long
it's
going
to
take
downtown
to
become
what
people
want
it
to
be,
it
is
downtown,
there's
always
going
to
be
probably
some
level
of
crime.
It's
just
a
matter
of
how
we
manage
that
to
councilman
krause's
points
that
earlier
you
know
when
the
pandemic
hit,
nobody
was
downtown
and
it's
a
vacuum.
K
O
And
and
I
think
not
just
in
many
ways
succeeding
the
the
PDP
tracks
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we
don't
really
know
how
to
track
because
they
do
geofencing
and
they
watch
Cars
come
in
and
cars
go
out
and
you
know
all
kinds
of
fancy
stuff,
but
they
they
track.
Employees
like
relative
to
pre-pandemic
level
how
many
people
are
working
downtown.
How
many
people
are
here
on
a
Saturday
night?
O
How
many
people
are
here
and
I,
went
to
a
board
meeting
and
saw
those
figures
and
I
was
surprised
as
someone
who
reads
the
media
and
gets
a
lot
of
emails
at
how
good
those
numbers
actually
looked,
because
I
I
would
have
thought
it's
like
well
nobody's
ever
here.
Our
parking
lots
are
Never,
Ever
full,
and
you
know
in
fact
the
the
the
trajectory
is
steady,
steady
upwards,
and
you
know
when
those
numbers
are
crossing
70
percent
and
Crossing
80
percent,
and
we
saw
to
councilman
straw
frostburger's
point.
O
There
were
three
restaurants
that
had
their
best
years
ever
this
year,
so
I
would
say
that
the
the
data
are
I,
think
showing
that
that
people's
fear
of
downtown
is
not
Universal,
because
a
lot
of
people
are
coming
downtown,
which
is
good.
There
are
people
who
we
need
to
do
more
to
make
it
feel
comfortable
for
everybody
and
I
think
you
know
it.
It
downtown
is
also
not
entirely
one
place,
and
so
you
know
we
have
been
careful
to
sort
of
think
about
this.
O
This
corner
is
a
little
tricky
right
now
and
what
do
we
want
to
do
over
there
about
lighting
and
what
do
we
want
to
do
about
there
and
how
do
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
micro
assignments
for
our
officers
are
focused
here
and
here
and
here,
but
but
I
would
say,
I
that
I
I
think
I
think
there
is.
There
is
already
a
story
of
progress
to
be
told,
I'm.
M
Going
to
add
that
one
that
mayor
Guinea
has
been
going
to
the
police,
you
know
stations
correct
and
talking
with
the
officers
just
similar
to
what
he's
done
in
DPW,
so
I
think
that's
helpful.
Having
those
conversations
are
you
attending
those
okay
but
I'm,
just
gonna
say
when
I
was
young
a
long
time
ago.
M
The
big
issue
downtown
was
the
hippies
that
would
come
downtown,
tripping
out,
tripping
out
on
LSD
handing
out
cards
to
people
and
doing
all
kinds
of
stuff,
and
so
back
then
my
dad's,
like
no
you're,
not
gonna,
but
I,
have
great
memories
in
downtown,
so
I
just
want
to
say
to
people
there's
there
may
always
be
something
in
town,
but
it
may
not
be
something
that
you
regret
20
years
down
the
road.
Well,
okay,
maybe
40.
M
M
I
could
tell
you
stories
about
them.
Tripping.
A
I
So
yeah
I
apologize,
yeah,
I,
I,
sort
of
birthed.
This
in-depth
conversation
here
and
I
have
a
12
15.
C
I
But
just
a
couple
of
things
that
went
around
at
the
table
that
I'd
like
an
opportunity
to
address
the
councilman,
was
wondering
about
the
the
cost
of
the
operation,
and
is
it
all
going
to
a
wage?
It
doesn't
all
go
to
a
wage,
there's
an
operational
cost
to
it
and
whether
that
be
uniforms
and
materials
and
supplies
all.
I
Okay,
yeah,
would
you
please,
and
then
the
councilman
also
brought
up
about
who's,
keeping
track
of
what
they're
doing
and
one
of
the
best
experiences
that
we
have
with
block
by
Block
in
the
south
side?
Is
they
are
so
very
data
driven?
They
tell
us
to
the
the
letter
we
picked
up
this
much
poundage
of
trash.
We
picked
up
these
many
empty
bottles.
We
cleared
these
many
graffiti
tanks,
we've
removed
these
mini
stickers
and-
and
it
is,
it-
is
delineated
every
month
and
distributed
to
us
that
this
is
what
we
did.
I
This
is
what
you're
paying
for,
and
this
is
what
we
did
so
they're
they're
amazing,
at
how
data
driven
they
really
are,
and
then
the
last
point
just
went
on.
Oh
the
the
difference
between
the
downtown
clean
team
and
then
the
public
safety
ambassadors.
The
clean
team
is
funded
through
downtown
partnership
into
a
block
by
block,
but
would
be
a
separate,
completely
separate
operation
from
what
this
would
be.
I
This
would
be
the
city
engaging
with
block
by
block
through
downtown
partnership,
to
launch
the
ambassadors,
but
they
would
not
be
intermingled
in
any
way.
That'd
be
two
completely
separate
programs
and
then
I
do
apologize
that
I'm
leaving
I
really
do.
This
was
a
great
conversation,
I'm,
really
glad
that
we
had
it,
and
my
last
comment
of
recommendation
would
be
we.
I
We
know
that
Burlington
is
moving
into
the
old
coffins
building
and
taking
that
space,
which
leaves
the
cell
audience,
leaves
the
old
gimbals
building
prepped
for
a
perfect
location
for
Marshalls
home
goods.
C
I
I
N
N
But
you
know
what
I
mean
like,
like
you
were
saying:
I,
don't
know
like
some
kind
of
a
you
know,
whatever
probably
I'm,
assuming
no
like
that.
It's
like
you,
just
have
to
see
if
you,
if
you
see
an
ambassador,
but
but
that
might
be
something
further
on.
So
if
you
are,
for
example,
working
in
a
coffee
shop-
and
you
do
have
somebody
it's
like,
oh,
if
I
could
get
a
hold
of
an
ambassador
rather
than
calling
9-1-1.
N
That
would
maybe
just
be
something
to
think
about
down
the
road,
but
then,
just
in
terms
of
yeah,
because
I
I
definitely
I
get
I
get
people
calling
to
you
know
saying:
oh,
it's
such
a
shame.
You
can't
go
downtown
anymore,
like
it's.
You
know
it's
so
dangerous
and
so
I'm
I'm
glad
now
that
I
I
have
this
information.
So
now
I
can
say.
N
Well,
actually
you
know
we
have
this
new
program
and
it
would
be
great
I,
don't
know
where,
if
if
there
are
numbers
about
it
like
we
could,
where
you
could
actually
say.
Oh
well,
actually
you
know
people
are
going
to
you
know
what
I
mean
there
are
more.
So
it
would
be
I,
don't
know
if
there's
some
way
to
get
those
numbers
to
you.
C
A
That
takes
us
to
our
Public
Works
and
infrastructure
committee.
Oh
well,
we
did
that
one.
So
we
now
move
on
to
Human
Resources
committee,
which
is
chair
by
Reverend
Burgess.
We
have
one
new
paper,
Bill
1392.

M
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
have
an
a
couple
things
I
want
to
make
sure
the
public
knows
about
coming
up.
The
one
is
a
behavioral
mental
health
resource
Fair
on
Saturday
April
15th
at

to

at
the
Mount
Washington
healthy,
active,
Living,
Center

a
lot

providers

Ricky
Moody
and
Diane
Hopson
had
worked
on
this
together
too,
with
our
office
to
put
this
program
together.
M
A
N
M
So
if
you
would
share
that
would
be
great,
and
if
you'd
want
to
do
these
kinds
of
things
across
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
hired
Ricky
so
that
he
could
get
these
types
of
services
into
our
neighborhoods,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
do
it
in
your
District,
they'll
be
happy
to
do
it.
Each
of
yours.
