You

of
business,
is

I
would
like
to

all
speakers
that
the
rules
of
councils
state
that
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action

which

the
council
and
profanity
is
not
permitted.

You
will
be
given
three
minutes

Our
first
registered
speaker
is
Naomi
Mullen.
C
D
I
honor,
my
husband,
who
was
a
dedicated
public
servant
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
from
the
1970s
until
2021.
3,
not
fading
deals
in
Bonaire.
This
is
for
you
Michael.
We,
the
people
of
Bonaire
are
the
real
stakeholders.
We
have
paid
our
mortgages,
our
taxes
and
we
voted.
We
have
shown
up
at
the
town
hall
meeting
to
give
a
resounding
note
to
developing
the
building.
We
have
signed
a
petition
to
say
we
want
a
green
space,
not
a
building.
We
have
property
value
and
quality
of
life
to
protect
according
to
the
Pennsylvania
Constitution.
D
D
The
city
controller
is
the
fiscal
Watchdog
for
the
citizens
of
Pittsburgh.
It
is
the
job
of
the
controller
to
protect
city
tax
dollars
from
waste
Fraud
and
Abuse.
Michael
Lamb
should
attend
our
meeting
to
explain
why
the
waste
Fraud
and
Abuse
continues.
Why
won't
he
advocate
for
we,
the
people
who
have
been
harmed
by
this
detrimental
building?
Who
does
he
serve?
D
F
G
D
The
safety
of
the
citizens
of
Pittsburgh
was
truly
exceptional
and
should
be
emulated
every
firefighter.
He
loves,
sharing
his
knowledge
of
firefighting
in
all
its
many
aspects.
To
make
our
firefighters,
safer,
smarter
and
more
efficient
on
the
player
ground
Mike
knew
most
of
the
firefighters
on
the
entire
Pittsburgh
Bureau
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
and
pursuit
of
more
knowledge.
D
E
C
C
And
today,
I
would
like
to
share
with
city
council
about
Justice
being
delayed
in
America.
Justice
League
in
America
is
the
equivalent
to
Justice
denied
in
America.
However,
it
is
our
Collective
focus
and
aim
to
change
that
Reality
by
retelling
the
American
story
through
a
truthful
thing,
a
lens
that
shows
life
on
a
painful
part
of
history
that
the
United
States
is
scrambling
to
cover
up.
Yet
again,
historically,
books
were
burned.
C
C
A
H
Good
morning
my
name
is
Yvonne
F
Brown
I
live
up
in
501
Rivers
tires
up
at
the
top
of
Bedford
when
I
am
I
didn't
come
yesterday,
because
it's
you're
really
stressing
me
out
and
it's
getting
so
that
I
cannot
speak
like
I
want
to,
because
you
have
them
to
tell
me
that
you
cannot
talk
this
way
or
so
on.
Listen.
Let
me
tell
you
something.
I've
been
coming
for
years
years.
H
Talking
about
my
son,
I
met
a
lady
at
the
at
the
store
and
she
was
saying
she
sees
me
on
TV
and
she
was
saying
about.
She
thought
that,
since
something
was
wrong
with
you
and
I
said,
come
down
and
speak,
she
said
they're
not
listening
to
you
and
you've
been
coming
all
these
years.
She
has
said
to
me:
she
said:
stop,
stop
telling
them
because
they're
not
going
to
pay
any
attention
to
you.
You
stop
going
and
then
she's
saying
about
my
son.
She
said
you
must
feel
guilty
and
I'm
saying
guilty.
H
She
said
it
has
to
be
the
way
that
you
are
speaking
and
I
do
remember.
My
son
had
called
to
tell
me
he
needs
to
go
out
his
girlfriend's
house
and
get
his
papers
to
go
to
court,
or
else
he
would
go
to
jail.
I
was
supposed
to
take
him
out
and
I'm
writing.
I
didn't
have
a
computer
I'm
going
out
my
sister's
house
I'm
sitting
there
and
I'm
waiting
and
he
calls
and
I
I
started
screaming
that
I've
got
to
go.
I
said
I'm
not
going
to
take
you,
you
better
come
on.
H
Well,
you
didn't
come
I
left
money
with
my
husband.
My
son
went
out
there
and
he
got
killed.
This
lady
was
talking
to
me
and
she
was
saying
I
feel
so
guilty
because
I
didn't
take
him,
but
she
said
it's
a
good
thing
that
you
didn't,
because
the
man
might
have
killed
your
son
and
also
attacked
to
you,
because
my
son
was
knocked
out.
He
said
I
live
here
and
turned
his
head
and
he
got
knocked
out
and
he
was
headbutting
him.
H
My
son
went
through
a
whole
lot,
but
I
realized
I
was
saying
all
the
pain
that
he
went
through
because
when
he
was
going
through
it
I
was
at
my
girlfriend's
I
felt
this
pain.
I
was
saying
the
pain
I
went
in
the
kitchen
and
I
went
and
I
so
much
pain,
I
called
out
to
the
Lord
I
said:
oh
Lord
am
I
dying
and
all
this
pain
he
put
me
to
sleep.
H
My
girlfriend
called
me
may
call
me:
she
came
back
I,
remember,
walking,
say:
may
I,
don't
know
what
that
is
I'm
going
home
when
I
get
home
my
husband's
laying
on
the
couch-
and
he
tells
me
that
Charlie
called
my
son-
was
supposed
to
have
gotten
in
a
fight
with
one
of
her
friends,
her
friend.
He
said
what
kind
of
friend
be
the
man
that
so
bad.
He
got
to
go
to
the
hospital.
H
Well
I
found
out
that
the
police
left
him
and
said
if
the
Troublemaker
starts
any
more
trouble,
but
I
want
you
to
understand
when
the
pyramid
45
minutes
later
when
they
called
the
paramedics.
When
the
paramedics
came,
the
police
pronounce
them
dead
and
you
have
it
written
in
the
paper
where
they
said
that
the
paramedic
had
to
insists
the
part
of
working
on
my
son.
Do
you
understand
they
wouldn't
call
him?
They
left
them?
They
wouldn't
call
him.
They
left
them.
H
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
further
speakers,
any
further
speakers
seeing
none
that
takes
us
to
our
standing
committee
agenda
members
I
want
to
go
a
little
out
of
order
and
take
our
Public
Safety
bill
first,
so
our
Chiefs
can
get
onto
his
business.
So
we'll
start
on
page
five
under
Public
Safety
and
wellness
committee,
which
is
chaired
by
councilman
Cog
Hill.
We
have
one
new
paper:
Bill
1429,
Bill,.
B
1429
resolution
authorizing
the
issuance
of
a
warrant
in
favor
of
Allegheny
crane
and
rigging
4200
Steubenville
Pike
Pittsburgh
PA
15205
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
975
thousand
dollars
and
zero
cents
for
emergency
crane,
rental
and
operation.
In
response
to
the
Fern
Hollow
Bridge
incident
of
January
2022.
I
I,
don't
really
have
any
questions
on
if
any
members
do-
and
you
know,
Chief
Jones
is
here
to
help
us
sort.
A
Your
post
firms
of
recommendation-
thank
you
chief
for
being
here,
that'll,
take
us
to
the
beginning
of
our
agenda,
which
is
finance
and
law,
which
is
shared
by
myself.
We
have
wonderful
paper,
Bill,
1313.,
Bill,.
B
1313
resolution
amending
resolution,
724
of
2022
entitled
resolution
making
Appropriations
to
pay
the
expenses
of
conducting
the
public
business
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
for
meeting
the
debt
charges
thereof
for
the
fiscal
year,
beginning
January
1st
2023,
so
as
to
reopen
the
2023
operating
budget
to
update
the
revenue
forecast
to
better
reflect
fiscal
year.
2022
results
accommodate
changes
in
the
Bureau
of
police
in
direct
response
to
the
ratified
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
the
Fraternal
Order
of
Police
and
make
changes
to
Associated
benefit
calculations
to.
A
K
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
The
bill
has
been
amended
by
a
substitution.
Now
with
that,
we
do
have
proposed
additional
amendments
to
this
bill
by
members.
I
want
to
take
them
one
by
one,
but
prior
to
doing
that,
because
I
haven't
spoken
with
any
members
other
than
Madam
president
about
these
bills.
A
A
However,
you
all
may
recall
back
when
we
were
passing
the
budget
I
expressed
my
concern
around
the
lowering
of
the
fund
balance
and
so
I'm
of
the
amendment
opinion.
Excuse
me
that
if
we
have
the
additional
Revenue,
we
should
really
be
putting
it
back
into
our
fund
balance.
There
was
oh.
Lastly,
there
are
some
items,
Within
These
amendments
that
could
actually
be
just
be
adjusted
within
the
budget
itself.
A
We
actually
don't
need
an
amendment
to
do
it
and
there's
also
some
items
where
we
already
have
open
positions
that
aren't
being
filled
and
so
we're
now
adding
additional
positions,
and
then
lastly,
I'll
just
remind
you
all
that
we're
all
of
about
two
months
away
from
actually
starting
the
budget
process
and
so
I
feel
like
doing
all
of
this
would
be
appropriate
in
two
months,
two
three
months
from
now.
So
for
those
reasons,
I
won't
be
voting
in
favor
of
any
amendments.
I
just
wanted
to
explain
myself
to
you
all
with
that.
J
A
Do
this
so
it
was
my
intent
to
read
through
every
Amendment,
they
are
being
sponsored
by
I'll,
say
who
I'm
gonna
read
one
at
a
time.
I
will
say
who
has
brought
these
four
these
amendments
forward
and
then
we
can
have
discussion
and
vote.
If
that's
okay,
so
proposed
amendment
number
one
is
brought
To
Us
by
councilman
coghill,
which
is
to
increase
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
bureau
of
administration
budget
by
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
purchase
additional
police
vehicles.
A
L
A
J
A
J
Being
paid
for
which
is
and
I
I,
don't
I
may
be
out
all
right.
I,
don't
wish
to
be
I
just
want
to
offer
to
members
that
I
support
the
counts.
Our
finances
remarks
I
will
be
in
align
with
our
finance
chair
I
will
not
support
any
of
the
Amendments
as
well
either.
I
do
believe
that
we
have
budget
discussions
coming
up
within
a
matter
of
months,
and
all
of
these
are
up
for
consideration.
I'm
going
to
be
happy
to
have
Folsom
discussion
on
them
at
that
point
in
time.
J
My
major
reservation
right
here
now
is
that
we
delay
the
implementation
of
the
contract
in
any
way
by
the
by
adding
additional
amendments
to
this
primary
purpose
by
which
we
wish
to
have
the
contract
in
place
and
off
and
members
being
able
to
operate.
I
I
was
probably
out
of
line
with
that,
so
I
apologize.
We.
K
I
actually
am
supportive
of
what
councilman
Bell
said
up
until
and
stopping
at
the
assertion
that
we
need
a
public
hearing
after
vote.
We
always
vote
after
we
hear
from
the
public
and
there's
no
point
in
hearing
from
the
public.
If
we
don't
vote
after
that,
and
so
you
get
yourself
in
a
Perpetual
loop,
I
think
I'm
not
gonna,
be
able
to
quote
my
chief
of
staff
yesterday
when
we
were
discussing
this
point,
I
think
you
said
something
to
that
effect
like
well.
K
What's
the
point
in
hearing
from
the
public,
if
you're
not
responding
to
what
you
hear,
and
so,
if
you
every
time
we
vote,
we
have
to
have
a
public
hearing
after
we
vote,
you
get
yourself
into
a
Perpetual
Loop
and
so
that
just
I
I
am
actually
supportive
of
everything.
K
You
said
and
I'm
happy
to
withdraw
my
amendments
or
not
present
my
amendments
and
I'm
happy
to
try
to
to
work
with
the
administration
to
kind
of
add
capacity
where
I
was
hoping
to
add
capacity
through
these
amendments
to
respond,
I
think
to
some
urgent
needs,
but
I'm
still
going
to
argue
the
point
that
I
don't
think
you
need
a
public
hearing
after
vote
and
I've
reread
the
humble
Charter
last
night.
These
are
verbal
amendments.
We
already
had
a
hearing
on
the
new
legislation,
which
is
I
think
was
the
appropriate
course
of
action.
A
You
and
to
your
point,
councilman
gross
I,
did
have
this
conversation
with
our
solicitor
about.
Do
we
actually
have
to
have
a
public
hearing,
given
that
they
would?
The
public
would
have
a
week
to
respond
to
give
comment
before
we
take
a
final
vote
and
we
went
back
and
forth
on
it.
But
that
being
said,
the
legal
advice
was.
These
are
substantive
in
nature.
A
I'm,
not
the
lawyer
in
the
room,
so
I
I
would
defer
councilman
Warwick
then
we'll
have
Madam
president.
M
Yeah
so
again,
I
guess
I
want
to
concur
with
councilman
gross
I
will
say:
I
think
that
overall
now
I
do
want.
Just
in
terms
of
of
certainly
my
amendment
I
can't
speak
to
others
I,
it
was
sort
of
a
very
rushed
last
minute
thing
and
I
don't
generally
like
to
do
that
right
so
that
you
know
it's
just
sort
of
a
spur
of
the
moment
and
I
didn't
get
a
chance,
and
you
know
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
discuss
with
folks,
which
I
generally
don't
like
to
do
so
that
you
know.
M
But
that
said
you
know
from
my
view.
Most
of
the
things
in
here
would
be
very
good
right.
They'd
be
good
for
the
public,
they'd
be
good
for
the
city
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
not
doing
it
because
of
a
sort
of
like
procedural
wonkiness.
That
seems
very
unclear
right
in
the
fact
that
you
know
we
have
Council
solicitors,
saying
one
thing:
I
was
literally
just
told
another
thing
five
minutes
ago
and
now
we're
hearing
another
thing.
So
it's
it's
certainly
not
cut
and
dry
that
we
need
a
public
hearing.
M
You
know,
I
know
that
the
our
law
enforcement
officers
have
been
waiting
patiently
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
hold
that
up
so,
but
but
just
in
general,
for
for
for
much
of
what
we're
looking
at
here,
I
I
do
want
to
point
out
how
sort
of
you
know
when
it
comes
to
Public
Safety,
how
quickly
we
are
to
just
hand
money
over
without
really
questioning
it
and
then
but
see
I
I
feel,
like
you
know,
for
example,
traffic
calming
I
feel
like
that
is
also
Public
Safety
right
after
gun
violence,
I
would
say
that
cars
in
our
street,
speeding
in
our
streets,
is
one
of
the
biggest
safety
hazards
in
the
city
right,
but
but
when
or
or
when
we
talk
about
city
parks,
having
the
Staffing
and
capacity
that
it
needs
to,
you
know
provide
the
type
of
programming
that
you
know
that
help
our
kids
Etc
thrive.
M
All
of
a
sudden,
it's
like,
oh,
let's
slow
down.
Let's,
really,
you
know,
evaluate
let's
look
at
every
dollar
Etc,
so
you
know
I,
I
I
wish
that
as
a
city
and
maybe
even
just
as
a
society,
we
kind
of
looked
at
Public,
Safety,
more
holistically,
and
so
when
it
comes
to
things
like
traffic
calming
and
parks
and
rec
centers,
and
that
we
were
as
generous
right
as
as
quick
to
be
generous
as
we
are
with
with
our
sort
of
official
Public
Safety
departments.
A
N
You
I
just
want
to
first
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
our
budget
director.
Peter,
McDevitt
and
I
want
to
thank
Jake
Pollock,
who
was
on
the
phone
last
night
with
director
Pollock
from
the
mayor's
office.
He
was
on
the
phone
with
all
of
us
last
night
until
late
hours
of
the
night,
so
he
starts
early
in
the
morning
with
phone
calls
from
us
complaining
until
he
takes
the
phone
calls
late
at
night
and
always
is
so
professional
and
so
so
good
to
work
with
someone.
N
Thank
him
for
his
work
on
this
and
his
leadership
on
this.
It
was
because
of
that
that
we
called
members
and
asked
them
to
withdraw
their
amendments,
and
even
though
they
are
really
some
worthwhile
amendments,
we're
going
to
work
together
with
the
administration
to
move
forward
on
the
areas
that
we
need
to
vehicles
are
one
of
the
things
that
we
know.
We
desperately
need,
not
just
in
police,
but
we
need
him
in
fire.
We
need
them
in
EMS.
N
We
need
them
across
the
board,
so
we'll
work
with
him
and
through
the
equipment,
leasing,
Authority
and
the
ways
that
we
should
and
I
just
want
to.
Thank
the
members
for
their
for
their
willingness
to
put
aside,
because
this
is
your
budget,
you
could
do
what
you
wanted
to
do.
You
could
have
taken
all
the
money
and
moved
all
the
positions
and
redid
all
sorts
of
things,
and
yet
none
of
you
did-
and
so
I
want
to.
N
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
to
hold
back
your
amendments,
which
I
know
you're
all
passionate
about
and
and
every
one
of
them
were
worthwhile
worthwhile
amendments,
but
I
think
that
working
with
the
administration
will
get
a
better
outcome
and
actually
get
the
positions
filled
that
you
want.
N
It
filled
because
yeah
we
can
put
all
the
positions
and
we
want
it's
up
to
the
administration
to
fail
them,
and
so
I've
done
that
before
with
the
previous
administration
I
put
positions
in,
they
never
got
billed
so
I
will
just
say:
I
learned
the
hard
way
not
to
do
that.
But
I
also
want
to
thank
our
solicitor
Dan
friedson,
who
takes
a
lot
of
heat
and
I,
just
want
to
say
he.
The
reason
I
usually
yield
to
his
advice
is
because
one
he's
not
some
idiot.
He
teaches
law
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh.
N
He
was
a
solicitor
here
and
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
and
assistant
solicitor
or
in
the
Law
Department
I
can't
remember
his
exact
title,
but
he
was
here
so
he
knows
Municipal
law,
which
is
you
know,
really
important
to
the
work.
We
do
and
he's
always
earring
on
the
side
of
caution
for
us,
so
that
he's
not
putting
us
in
a
bad
situation
and
I
don't
want
to
say
in
some
of
these
cases
it
helps
the
administration
stay
out
of
trouble.
N
It
helps
us
state
to
stay
out
of
trouble
and
it
helps
us
to
not
drag
other
people
in
the
middle.
So
I
want
to
thank
him
for
for
his
because
sometimes
I
know
we're
frustrating
to
work
with,
because
we
all
have
nine
different
opinions
and
then
we're
like
hurting
cats
a
lot
of
times.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
your
work
on
this
and
your
tenacity.
But
although
I
don't
always
like
hearing
the
advice,
I
do
yield
to
it
because
you
are
the
expert
in
that
area
and
I
do
know.
N
N
I
You,
okay,
I,
agree:
I,
don't
want
to
hold
up
the
pay
raise
Bill.
Nobody
wants
to
do
that.
I
felt
a
responsibility
when
I
took
over
or
when
I
was
appointed
to
the
equipment,
leasing,
Authority
board
I
did
my
due
diligence.
I
talked
to
other
unions.
I
went
to
the
garage
specifically
I'm
talking
about
police
right
now.
Fire
is
down
the
line
we
have
Desperate
needs
there
as
well,
but
I
felt
a
responsibility.
I
spoke
to
the
administration
throughout
about
these
vehicles.
I
We
originally
and
I
think
my
Amendment
differs
from
the
other
two
amendments
in
a
couple
ways
and
and
Mr
friedson.
If
you
come
to
the
table,
I
might
have
a
question
or
two
for
you,
but
while
he's
coming
up
I'll
tell
you
how
I
feel
they
differ.
First
of
all,
we
had
two
public
hearings
with
the
budget
process
on
these
vehicles.
They
were
approved
by
this
Council.
I
We
ended
up
only
having
enough
for
half
of
the
vehicles
29
out
of
60.
because
of
supply
chain
issues,
inflation
microchips,
a
lot
of
different
reasons
that
we
couldn't
afford
all
these
vehicles
so
and
Mr
Frieda.
My
my
question
is
to
you
I,
understand
having
to
hold
a
public
hearing
for
these
amendments,
but
for
this
one
in
particular
that
we
already
approved
through
two
budget
processes,
I,
don't
feel
that
we
would
need
to
have.
That
is
that
my
incorrect
term.
E
You're
stating
this
is
such
a
way
that
you've
had
a
public
hearing
on
60
vehicles
and
so
you're
I
guess
argument
would
be
that
we've
had
the
public
hearing
on
these
60
vehicles.
The
issue
you
know
under
319
is
just
that.
The
city
council
should
not
take
final
action
on
and
it
lists
out
certain
types
of
legislation
to
give
the
public
notice
and
it
says
appropriation
or
budget
matter.
So
the
only
question
is
whether
or
not
you
know
and
again
I
would
maybe
defer
to
the
municipal,
Corporation
solicitor
or
the
budget
people.
I
E
I'm,
looking
for
I
didn't
know,
it's
gonna
be
called
to
the
table
today.
I'm,
sorry,
one
second,
please.
I
I
just
in
good
conscience-
and
let
me
tell
you
why
I
I
put
this
forward
in
good
conscience.
It's
it's
hard
for
me
to
say
we
don't
need
these
vehicles
with
the
wait
time
when
you
buy
new
vehicles,
we
really
need
to
order
these
vehicles
tomorrow,
I
feel
like
and
to
say
that
we
can
wait
until
next
year
is
going
to
put
this
Police
Department
in
a
bad
way.
I
We
are
going
to
approve
a
pay
raise,
which
I
thought
was
very
well
done
by
the
administration
to
work
with
the
fop
and
but
to
not
have
vehicles.
For
you
know
our
police
officers
or
safe
running
vehicles
for
them
to
get
to
whatever
the
emergency
or
scene
is
in
good
conscience.
That's
why
I
had
to
put
this
forward
the.
E
The
other
part
of
the
Homeworld
Charter,
because
we're
talking
about
is
where
a
public
hearings
required.
That's
319
and
just
to
reiterate
the
spirit
of
that
is
you
know
the
the
magic
is
public
comment.
We
put
forth
legislation
and
it's
just
a
bill
until
there's
public
comment
and
then
a
vote
and
that's
those
two
things
together
are
essentially
the
ingredients
that
make
legislation
under
our
home
Rule
Charter.
However,
that
said,
there's
another
part
of
the
home,
World
Charter,
507
Amendment
of
the
budget
and,
of
course,
this
particular
item.
E
You
know
the
budget
can
be
open
with
permission
of
the
approval
of
the
mayor.
So
clearly
the
budget
was
open
with
approval
of
the
mayor
for
this
fop
contract
ratification
and
effectuation.
The
question
then
becomes
is
you
know
whether
it
was
open
for
all
of
these
matters
and.
E
Police
department
had
the
Resolute
I
wish
right
had
the
resolution
said
you
know
to
amend
the
police
budget
and
it
was
just
that
I
would
100
agree
with
you.
O
E
Was
very
specific
about
the
fop
contract
and
the
salaries
and
wages,
but
that
said,
I
wanted
to
jump
into
507
just
a
little
bit,
which
does
talk
about
Amendment
of
the
budget,
and
it
does
say
a
council
at
all
times
made
by
resolution.
Transfer
funds
from
one
code
account
to
another.
If
the
total
budget
amount
is
not
exceeded,
I
don't
know
if
this
is
one
of
those
situations
or
not
and
again,
I
would
defer
to
the
budget
people
for
what
their
policies
and
procedures
are.
For.
Is
this
an
amendment
of
the
budget?
E
It's
a
budget
item
I,
don't
know
the
dollar
amounts
here
and
I.
Don't
know
if
there's
the
money
in
the
budget
to
Move
It
from
one
code
account
to
another,
or
if
this
is
you
know
a
matter
that
would
require
another
public
hearing
with
10
days
notice
and
have
the
public
comment
on
it.
None
of
this
stuff
deals
with
the
first
three
points.
F
I
Okay,
well
I'll
just
sum
it
up
like
this
and
and
because
I
feel
like
the
will
of
this
council,
is
not
to
push
this
through.
Today,
I
felt
the
administration
realizes.
The
importance
of
this
I
realize
the
importance
of
this,
because
I
visited
the
garages.
I've
talked
to
them
many
different
occasions.
It's
about
getting
these
in
a
timely
manner.
At
this
point,
if
we
wait
until
we
reopen
the
budget,
these
aren't
going
to
come
in.
It's
I,
don't
know
what
waiting
I
don't
know.
I
The
time
waiting
listed
is
on
these
vehicles,
but
it's
surely
lengthy
and
the
longer
we
wait.
The
more
trouble
we're
going
to
be
in
I
felt
the
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
our
police
officers
have
the
currently
have
well
operating
vehicles
to
short
them.
There
is
going
to
be
a
tragedy.
We
spend
a
lot
of
money
at
this
Council
on
a
lot
of
things,
and
it
was
really
an
eye-opener
to
me.
I
will
tell
you,
I
didn't
really
go
into
this
thinking.
I
Oh,
we
need
more
vehicles
for
the
police
in
the
fire
department
automatically
I
learned
over
the
past
year.
How
desperate
a
situation
we're
in
I
feel
like
we're,
ignoring
it
as
a
council,
but
there's
no
two
ways
around
it.
We
need
vehicles
to
get
back
and
forth
to
emergencies,
whether
it's
fire
department,
ambulance
or
or
police,
so
Madam.
President
I
will
withdraw
this
today
if
it's
in
your
best
wishes-
and
we
could
take
it
up
again,
but
I'm
just
making
my
point
clear.
I
That
I
feel
we
need
to
approve
this
today,
so
we
can
order
these
vehicles
in
order
to
get
them,
and
it's
already
going
to
be
a
long
wait
time
and
if
we
wait
any
longer,
then
at
least
my
conscience
is
clear
as
to
if
we
have
a
fire
truck
breakdown
on
the
way
to
you
know
a
four
alarm
fire
or
if
we
have
a
police
vehicle
breakdown
on
the
way
to
a
bank
robbery
that
my
conscience
will
be
clear.
I
I
would
prefer
to
push
this
through
I
think
it's
needed,
I
think
it's
desperately
needed
and
much
to
my
dismay
that
I
learned
over
the
past
year
that
you
know
we're
in
a
dire
situation
throughout
the
fire
department,
the
police
department
and
even
EMS
I.
Think
you
know
needs
a
couple
more
ambulances,
so
so
I'll
be
bringing
it
back
up
as
just
as
soon
as
I
can
I'll
withdraw
for
the
sake
of
not,
you
know
again,
I
feel
like
the
will.
I
A
J
J
Leasing
Authority
for
15
years
of
my
16
years
of
being
here
and
the
the
what
I
learned
about
the
fleet
of
vehicles
across
Cross
City
departments
is,
is
just
that
understanding
the
totality
of
the
fleet
how
it
comes
and
goes,
and
Ebbs
and
flows
and
ages
and
ages
out
and
needs
to
come
in
and
there's
so
there's
there.
J
The
equipment,
leasing,
Authority,
doesn't
exist
in
just
separate
individual
silos
of
departments,
but
whether
it's
the
holistic
overview
of
our
city
fleet
and
how
every
department
needs
and
deserves
to
have
the
the
equipment
and
the
vehicles
they
need
to
perform
the
jobs
that
we
ask
of
them.
And
so
again,
while
I
appreciate
the
passion
of
of
my
colleague
here.
J
I
I
won't
support
this
in
that,
in
that
I
think
the
bigger
picture
is
really
understanding
this
budget
amendment
and
what
why
the
budget
is
open
and
what
we're
here
to
do
and
the
importance
of
Performing
that
task,
but
as
it
relates
to
this
specific
Amendment,
I
I,
just
wanted
my
colleague
to
hear
in
public
my
my
understanding
and
interpretation
of
a
vehicle
purchasing
throughout
the
city
and
the
and
and
the
the
need
to
understand
it
in
in
a
more
holistic
way
as
to
how
we
fund
a
fleet
across
the
city
for
every
Department
that
needs
that
needs
vehicles
for
operation.
J
So
that's
again,
why
I'm,
supportive
of
our
president,
our
finance,
chair
and
and
we'll
vote
as
I
said
earlier
so
Mr
chair.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
for
your
Indulgence
and
Madam
president.
Thank
you
for.
N
N
So
I
do
want
to
say
you
know
as
just
to
start.
The
conversation
is
that
you
know
I
I,
don't
know
that
it's
not
the
will
of
this
body
to
buy
vehicles.
We
would
love
to
see
our
police
have
an
entire
new
Fleet,
but
we'd
also
like
to
see
EMS
have
all
the
new
ambulances
that
they
need.
We'd
like
to
see
fire
trucks.
N
You
know,
Fire
have
all
the
fire
trucks
that
they
need
and
equipment
that
they
need,
but
a
lot
of
times
we
spend
money
at
this
table
for
things
that
we
don't
really
need,
and
so
I
think
that
it's
prioritizing
what
we
are
here
to
do
and
making
sure
when
I
say
I
get
angry
about
stuff.
It's
because
now
we're
struggling
to
get
things
that
we
do
need
and
that
we
are
responsible
for
getting
and
but
I
do
think
that
director
Pollock
is
working
on
some
things
director.
L
Yes,
Jake
director
of
office
management
budget,
so
as
it
relates
to
the
subject
matter
included
in
the
Amendments
that
have
been
proposed,
some
I
believe
aren't
addressable
outside
of
of
the
reopening
process.
J
L
Not
100
of
them,
but
but
some
of
them
as
it
relates
specifically
to
to
Fleet,
needs
again.
I
I,
don't
disagree
at
all
on
the
substance
of
councilman
conquel's
proposal
that
we
do
need
it
over
time
to
continually
increase
investment
in
the
police
Fleet,
and
you
know
we
we
have
using
the
resources
already
appropriated.
You
know
attempted
to
maximize
how
many
vehicles
were
purchasing
this
year.
L
I
do
think
there
might
be
some
ongoing
opportunities
over
the
course
of
the
Year
through
the
ELA
process,
to
purchase
a
few
more
and
we're
continuously
working
on
that
it
probably
would
not
reach
the
eventual
total
that
that
his
Amendment
would
but
we'll
continue
to
work
on
that,
and
you
certainly
have
our
commitment
to
program
that
into
the
2024
budget
as
it
advances,
because
we
know
the
need
fire
very
similarly
is
certainly
in
need
of
Fleet
Investments.
L
Now
those
are
capital
expenditures,
so
we
don't
really
have
to
I
guess
it's
important
distinction
for
for
the
Public's
understanding
police
cruisers,
because
they
have
a
total
value
of
less
than
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
we
typically
don't
keep
them
for
more
than
five
years.
They've
missed
two
of
the
criteria
for
being
a
capital
expenditure.
So
that's
why
they're
part
of
the
operating
budget
most
other
vehicles?
L
We
don't
have
that
that
problem,
and
so
we
can
address
and
are
working
on
ways
to
address
the
needs
of
the
fire
Fleet
through
Capital
amendments
that
don't
have
to
be
connected
to
this
conversation.
Today
we
have
just
purchased
two
used
fire
apparatus,
and
then
we
took
it
took
delivery
of
them.
Over
the
weekend,
they've
been
rebadged
refitted
they're
available
for
service.
L
As
of
Monday,
which
is
great
news,
we
typically
wouldn't
we
don't
want
to
rely
exclusively
on
purchasing
used
vehicles,
of
course,
but
the
the
big
issue
there
is
that
the
wait
time
from
when
you
order
a
fire
truck
a
pumper
or
a
ladder
truck
to
when
you
take
delivery
of
it
went
from
about
a
year
to
about.
H
E
L
We
have
active
orders
for
a
lot
of
new
fire
apparatus.
I
think
it
was
two
weeks
ago
that
our
Fleet
and
Leadership
from
the
fire
Bureau
went
and
actually
did
a
mid-build
inspection
on
some
of
our
vehicles.
They
are
coming
along,
but
we're
we're
constantly
looking
for
ways
to
put
more
funding
there
in
order
to
increase
our
orders
that
that
I
think
is
a
separate
question
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
other
proposed
amendments.
I
think
I
think
some
are
achievable
outside
of
a
full
operating
Amendment
right.
We
can.
L
There
are
some
opportunities
for
intra-departmental
transfers
which
are
permitted
separately
under
the
charter
and
the
code
for
things
like
councilwoman
gross's,
Amendment,
around
rodent
control,
I
think
some
of
the
other
position.
Questions
can
be
resolved
through
vacancy
and
and
sort
of
minor
adjustments
and
then
and
then
a
few
others.
Maybe
would
need
to
wait
for
the
2024
budget
which
we're
about
to
start
in.
You
know
a
few
months,
so
all
of
that,
having
been
said,
I
I
will
say,
having
reviewed
them
and
I
think
I'm.
L
What
I'm
saying
is
consistent
with
what
other
members
have
said.
These
are
all
worthy
amendments,
the
Revelation
that
they
would
cause
further
hearing
to
be
held,
or
at
least
that
that
is
the
interpretation
that
we're
operating
under
it's
I'm,
not
a
lawyer.
So
that's
not
not
for
me
to
determine
and
the
the
resulting
delay
seems
to
be
the
the
primary
obstacle
so.
N
N
One
of
them
wants
to
run
for
my
seat,
so
we'll
have
to
have
a
conversation
about
that
anyway.
I'll
just
say
that
I
think
that
council
members
do
want
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
help
build
a
strong.
N
You
know
Public
Safety
response
and
and
give
them
the
best
equipment
for
all
of
our
Public
Safety
and-
and
that
includes
our
you
know-
Park
Rangers-
that
includes
our
EMS
police
fire
everything
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
we're
delivering
services
at
the
same
time,
so
maybe
at
the
end
of
the
year,
what
do
you
anticipate
will
be
like
money?
That's
that's
extra!
That's
left
over
at
the
end
of
the
year.
L
I'm
I'm
hesitant
to
answer
that
question
only
for
a
couple
reasons
right
so
one
is,
you
know
we
saw
a
stronger
than
expected
operating
result
in
2022,
which
is
a
good
sign,
does
reinforce
the
fund
balances,
councilman,
Lavelle
or
chairman
Lavelle
mentioned
so
I
think
we
probably
need
to
be
a
little
further
into
the
year
to
to
have.
We
typically
don't
have
firm
projections
for
that,
and
so
we
get
a
little
further
into
the
year.
The
other.
L
We
have
three
more
labor
contracts
entering
negotiation
this
year
right
and
so
Our
Hope
in
this
instance
was
that
this
could
have
been
resolved
prior
to
the
end
of
the
year
and
thus
incorporated
into
the
budget,
and
we
wouldn't
have
to
reopen
that
didn't
happen
for
understandable
reasons,
no
no
pointing
of
fingers
there,
but
because
it
was
settled
and
I
think
settled
favorably
for
the
city
and
for
our
police
force,
but
settled
after
the
budget
closed.
We,
of
course,
had
to
come
here
to
just
adjust
to
incorporate
that.
L
You
know
we'll
be
negotiating
three
more
contracts
that
will,
in
turn
have
impacts
on
the
budget
that
we
won't
foresee
until
those
negotiations
are
underway
and
completed,
and
so
our
goal
would
be
to
resolve
those
questions
before
the
end
of
the
year
and
have
them
reflected
in
the
2024
budget
when
it
passes.
So
we
don't
have
to
go
through
this
process
next
year,
but
those
those
negotiations
can
take
a
variety
of
timelines
and
courses
so
I'm,
sorry,
I,
can't
I,
don't
think.
I
can
honestly.
N
N
Next
budget
and
I
think
we'll
do
that
with
the
next
budget
and
address
the
policing
vehicles
and
the
need
for
fire
trucks
and
EMS,
but
I
mean
this
is
some
of
the
places
where
you
know
we
could
use.
We
really
need
the
fire.
The
fire
department
needs
help
with
that
vehicle
that
shows
kids
how
to
get
out
of
a
fire.
I,
don't
remember
what
it's
called,
but
it's
it's
on
flowers
in
your
District
yeah.
N
They
have
and
it
helps
kids
get
out
of
the
vehicle,
and
we
could
that's
where
public
dollar
private
dollars
could
really
be
helpful.
You
know
something
from
me:
you
know
High
Mark,
maybe
or
someplace,
where
we're
getting
some
help,
showing
kids,
how
to
escape
a
fire,
and
on
top
of
that
I,
just
think
that
we
just
need
to
have
a
better
conversation
more
time
to
discuss
everything
and
really
have
a
real
honest
conversation
about
what
we
need
to
fund
here
and
what
we
don't
need
to
fund
and
the
priority
should
be
Public
Safety.
L
May
I
just
quickly
on
that
Council
sure
the
the
I
I
agree
and
it's
it's
a
it's.
Essentially
it's
a
multi-phase
process
because,
for
example,
not
the
subject
of
this
amendment,
but
in
the
2023
budget,
as
adopted,
we
invested
I
think
16
million
dollars
in
new
breathing
apparatus
for
fire
right
that
that
was
the
most
urgent
need
and
a
significant
expenditure
heading
into
the
2023
budget.
L
And
why
and
thus
was
the
one
we
we
prioritized
that
will
be
done
this
year,
and
so
then
we,
the
the
next
highest,
need
clearly
has
merged.
As
you
know,
vehicles
in
apparatus
and
we're
again
working
to
find
interim
Solutions
and
we'll
take
that
into
the
budget
as
a
priority.
As
all
of
I
think.
The
items
on
the
table
here
today
can
be
as
we
head
into
that
process
and.
N
I
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
think
that,
although
I
appreciate
all
the
council
members
who
withdrew
their
amendments,
I
also
appreciate
those
who
didn't
put
one
forward.
You
know
at
the
request
of
the
administration,
because
we
didn't
want
to
delay
this.
The
pay
increase
for
the
police
officers
but
I
do
want
to
say.
N
Councilman
colco
is
one
of
the
biggest
champions
for
Public,
Safety
and
DPW
for
City,
Services
and
city
employees,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for,
for
that
and
I
know
that
you've
been
a
champion
of
trying
to
help,
make
sure
everybody's
getting
the
equipment
and
trucks
that
they
need.
So
I
know
this
was
difficult
for
you
to
withdraw,
but
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
doing
that,
because
we
did
want
to.
N
M
You
know
for
our
directors,
just
to
remind
I
mean
you
know,
our
directors
are
essentially
being
pulled
in
10
different
directions,
right
well,
I
guess:
I
should
only
speak
for
myself,
but
I
know
that
I
am
you
know,
I'm
asking
director
Vargas
to
do
satellite
services
and
expand
City,
Sports
and
I'm
constantly
bugging
her
about
lifeguards,
and
you
know:
we've
got
our
own
food
Justice
and
you
know
director
Lucas
I.
You
know
everyone
knows
I'm,
constantly!
Writing
her
about
more
traffic,
calming
Etc.
So
I,
you
know
it's.
You
know
in
DPW.
M
You
know
we
want.
You
know,
there's
litter
issues
and
graffiti
and
like
forestry
and
everybody
you
know
so
you
know
and
also
pli
with
demos.
So
I
want-
and
you
know
and
that's
why,
specifically
for
Domi
like
I
wanted
to
you
know
if
I'm
going
to
ride
director
Lucas
about
needing
more
traffic
calming,
then
I
need
to
work
to
get
her
the
resources
that
she
needs
to
do
more
traffic
calming
right.
That's
that's
my
job
and
so
I.
M
Just
kind
of
want
to
remind
the
directors
and
I
hope
that
the
administration
would
encourage
it
as
well.
You
know
in
the
next
couple
of
months
when
these
budget
discussions
happen.
You
know
come
to
us.
Let
us
know
like.
Let
us
know
if
you
need.
You
know.
If,
if
you
need
your
council
members
to
advocate,
for
you
know,
do
it
let
us
know,
and
that
I
I
think
that
should
be
encouraged
across.
M
That's
what
we're
here
for
right,
there's
there's!
You
know
it's
sort
of
the
checks
and
balance
of
the
city
government
and
you
know
that's
what
that's.
A
Okay,
just
wrote
briefly
to
your
point:
councilwoman
there
is
in
the
budget
process.
Normally
most
members
will
meet
with
the
directors
of
the
respective
committees
to
sort
of
get
a
priority
of
what
that
actual
list
looks
like
all.
The
directors
will
also
provide
sort
of
their
entire
wish
list
to
the
Office
of
Management
and
budget.
Who
then
goes
through
that
wish
list
of
thousands
of
things
to
try
to
narrow
it
down
to
director.
A
So
you
will
have
that
opportunity
to
be
that
Advocate
that
you're
wishing
to
do
and
I
think
all
of
what
members
have
put
on
the
table
or
haven't
put
on
the
table
today,
but
wish
to
are
all
important,
I
just
think,
there's
an
appropriate
time
and
place
to
do
it
and
I
didn't
think
this
was
the
appropriate
time
and
place
with
that.
Any
further
discussion
on
the
bill
as
amended
councilman
Cargill.
G
I
L
Police
cruisers
are
standard
off
the
lot
right,
whereas
every
fire
truck
every
pumper
or
every
ladder
truck
is
a
custom,
build
we
order
it
and
then
they
start
constructing
it.
In
the
same
way
they
make
Ford
Escapes
or
Expeditions.
They
make
a
version
of
Ford
X.
That's
what
we
happen
to
purchase.
They
make
a
version
of
it
with
certain
police,
specific
components,
and
so
we
we
more
or
less
buy
them.
You
know
kind
of
not
off
the
lot.
L
I
mean
we
have,
we
have
for
the
past.
Several
years,
have
orders
canceled
at
the
end
of
the
year,
because
they're
over
subscribed
right,
and
so
you
know
there
are
too
many
orders
in
for
the
2022
model.
So
they
tell
us,
you
got
to
buy
the
2023
model
and
that's
where
the
numbers
have
dropped
down,
sometimes
because
the
price
of
the
newer
model
year
is
higher
right,
so
that
I
believe
is,
is
what
occurred
in
this
instance.
L
It
is
still
not
so
it's
not
without
its
challenges
that
supply
chain
is
sort
of
coming
back
to
normal
after
several
years
of
disruption.
It
is
regardless
in
no
circumstance
anything
like
the
three
to
five
year,
wait
time
for
a
custom
built
fire
bumper,
it's
a
very,
very
different
set
of
circumstances,
and
so
it's
not
nearly
the
same
kind
of
delay
and.
I
Since
I
have
you
here,
can
you
be
clear?
You
know
I
got
mixed
reactions
from
some
members
as
to
like
the
administration's
not
supporting.
This
Administration
is
supporting
this
meaning.
The
900
Vehicles.
Obviously,
I
put
the
amendment
forward.
Yeah,
but
I
just
want
this
Council
to
hear
from
you
that
this
is
really
essential.
If.
L
L
Feel
I,
I
I
agree
and
can
say
with
certainty
that
we
do
need
to
invest
more
in
the
police,
Fleet
and,
whether
now
or
later,
that
that's
a
that's
a
priority
item
right,
because
we
need
to
reduce
the
the
life
span
and
improve
the
sort
of
performance
of
the
fleet.
You
know
the
amendment
that
we
introduced.
The
core
amendment
was
solely
for
the
purposes
of
incorporating
the
cost
of
the
contract,
and
that
was
what
we
felt
was
100
necessary
to
do
at
this
time.
L
I,
don't
disagree
with
you
that
Fleet
Investments
are
valuable
because
of
the
sort
of
procedural
circumstances
at
this
juncture.
It's
it's
sort
of
our
opinion
that
the
best
move
for
the
city
is
to
advance
a
clean
version
of
the
bill
to
avoid
further
delay,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
I
I
do
agree
that
that
further
investment
in
the
fleet
is
necessary
and
we're
looking
at
a
variety
of
ways
to
achieve
that,
if
not
through
today's
legislation
for
the
purposes
of
getting
the
the
back
pay
done.
That
makes
sense.
Thank.
I
You
for
clarifying
that
yeah
and
I
spoke
to
Madam
president
last
night,
along
with
you
and
I
agree
to
you,
know,
withdraw
this
I
didn't
want
to
muddy
up
the
original
contract
that
we're
you
know
going
to
approve
today,
so
I'm
glad
to
do
that.
I
just
needed
to
hear
from
you
that
it
is
essential.
We
do
need
these
vehicles
and
the
fire
department's
a
whole
other
story.
Of
course
you
know
much
larger
investment.
I
We're
going
to
need
there
coming
down
the
road
we're
asking
for
a
million
dollars
to
right-size
our
police
force
and
I,
wouldn't
even
say:
that's
right,
sizing
it
that's
just
to
kind
of
get
it
up
to
par,
so
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
losing
vehicles
on
a
weekly
basis.
So,
okay,
good
enough
for
me,
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
A
G
B
Bill
13
14.
resolution
amending
resolution
745
of
2022,
which
authorizes
Stop
the
Violence
expenditures
for
the
2023
fiscal
year
by
further
updating
current
year,
Appropriations
and
direct
response
to
operating
budget
changes
required
by
the
ratified
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
the
Fraternal
Order
of
Police.
G
B
G
N
A
G
Q
That
all
right,
let's,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
this
I'm,
not
going
to
take
a
long
time.
Obviously
this
is
a
simple
I
believe
it's
a
simple
Bill
to
pass,
but
so
this
is
to
give
you
know:
Duquesne
like
the
ability
to
come
and
install
the
you
know,
basically,
the
the
power
source
for
the
control
for
the
power
as
well
to
to
make
sure
the
Delights
in
the
Allegheny
Commons
West,
the
west
side
of
the
park.
Are,
you
know
they
operate?
They
actually
stay
on.
Q
So
a
little
little
history
I
just
want
to
go
over
here,
because
I
think
it's
kind
of
some
fun
history.
So
you
know
these
lights
currently
I
mean
I,
think
the
why
they
might
have
pulled
the
wire.
But
you
know
they
were
the
electric
was
coming
from
the
Aviary,
and
so
the
history
of
this
is
how
we
we
still
have
the
lease,
but
it
was
never
put
in
correctly.
Q
So
it
was
literally
this
bare
wire
that
was
like
put
in
without
conduit
properly,
and
so
it
would
short
out
every
time
it
would
rain,
and
so
the
residents
and
everyone
who
enjoyed
the
park
would
just
be.
You
know
without
the
lights
in
the
park
for
years,
and
you
know
if
you
ever
have
the
opportunity
to
look
in
the
history
of
how
the
Aviary
was
saved
and
everything
it
went
to
it's.
Q
It's
some
great
history
and
it's
probably
one
of
the
best
quotes
from
from
a
mayor
that
I've
seen
when
they're
confronted
about
the
yavior
and
what
we're
gonna
what
the
city
is
going
to
do
about
it.
It's
pretty
terrible
what
was
said,
but
it's
a
good
joke,
because
we
end
up
saving
it.
But
apparently
you
know
Sophie
masmeier
masloff
said
at
the
time
when
she
was
asked
well
well
what
would
happen
if
you
know
the
you
know
the
city?
What
are
you
gonna
do
about
the
Aviary?
Q
Q
I
just
want
an
opportunity
to
say
that
joke
somehow.
But
it's
a
great
thing,
that's
happening
because
they're
gonna
put
this
this
new
service
in
we're
not
going
to
rely
on.
You
know,
figuring
out
what
we're
going
to
do
whenever
it
shorts
out
every
time
and
who's
responsible
is
the
area
responsible
that
that
they
hit
the
line
when
there
was
construction,
so
the
whole
thing's
ridiculous,
I'm
glad
the
Duquesne
land
is
really
stepping
in
and
they're
going
to
provide
this
to
us
at
no
cost
and
I
really
appreciate
everything.
Q
They've
been
doing
to
design
and
make
sure
it's
done
right
in
the
in
the
oldest
Park
in
Pittsburgh
and
first
they
came
over
with
the
with
the
design,
and
it
was
overhead
lines
and
I
said
you're.
That's
never
going
to
happen
like
you're,
really
gonna
we're
gonna,
be
here
for
five
more
years.
If
you
put
overhead
lines
through
that
Park,
so
they're
going
to
put
it
all
underground,
and
and
also
thanks
to
Park
Conservancy,
because
they're
going
to
come
that
they're
going
to
come
down
and
they're
going
to
put
new
infrastructure
in
future
years.
Q
Q
N
G
N
Clear
it
wasn't
your
joke,
but
anyway
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
do
have
some
concerns
with
the
Duquesne
Light
in
general.
Just
the
utility
polls
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
are
looking
horrible
in
a
lot
of
places.
I
A
lot
of
people
are
wanting
their
utilities
underground,
including
on
Grandview
Avenue,
because
they're
saying
wheelchairs,
they're,
not
making
our
sidewalks
handicap
accessible,
so
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
conversation
about
moving
forward,
our
agreement
with
Duquesne
Light
and
what
we
can
do.
N
I
know
that
I
think
it's
also
worthwhile
having
the
puc
here
for
a
post
agenda
with
some
other
people.
I
just
think
we
need
to
have
some
real
conversations
about
what
we
can
and
cannot
expect
them
to
do
differently,
but
to
be
a
part
good
partner
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
That's
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

F
J
A
You
thank
you
that
moves
us
to
learn
use
and
economic
development
committee
chaired
by
councilman
Wilson.
First
new
paper
is
Bill
1443
Bill.
Q
A
F
N
N
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
I.
Think
that
you've
done
a
lot
you've
and
I
know
you've
done
some
battles
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
trying
to
get
people
to
appreciate
art,
but
I
I
know
the
one
that
stands
out
in
the
one
in
my
district,
where
you
had
to,
we
had
to
have
art
removed
so
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
finding
a
good
place
for
it
and
a
place
to
fit
in
and
then
adding
to
that
later.
N
I
P
Points
sometimes
sometimes
as
well
as
working
on
the
legislation
that
you
all
passed
at
the
end
of
last
year
to
reform
how
the
public,
art
and
Civic
design
commission
works
and
to
update
and
modernize
our
percent
for
our
public
percent
for
art
public
art
program,
so
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
watching
from
the
sidelines
to
see
how
that
continues
to
grow
experience.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
M
Yeah,
so
I
figured
that
we
want
imp
to
come
to
the
table
for
this,
but
just
to
just
because
it's
such
a
large
sum,
if
you
want
to
come
up
but
just
to
kind
of
just
a
sort
of
a
brief.
M
So
this
software,
the
computronic
software,
is
what
we
bought
to
create
the
ones
the
One
Stop
PGH,
and
just
so,
when
you
buy,
when
you
buy
software
right,
You
can
in-house
you
can
make
adjustments
to
it
to
a
certain
degree
right-
and
there
came
a
point
you
know
so
you
customize
this
offer
to
meet
exactly
so
that
it
will
do
exactly
what
you
needed
to
do.
M
But
there
comes
a
point
where
the
software,
or
in
this
case
computronics,
was
saying
we
we
won't
guarantee
your
customizations
and
sort
of
the
reason
that
they
do.
This
is
because
what
they
want
to
do
is
sell.
You
Services
right,
like
in
all
the
software
companies,
do
it
so
in
order
to
continue
to
develop
the
software
to
do
new
things
and
make
adjustments
Etc
the
software
companies
to
continue.
You
know
getting
revenue
from
the
software
that
they
already
sold.
M
You
then
sell
you
services
and
they
kind
of
force
you
into
it
by
ultimately
not
not
guaranteeing
the
changes
that
your
internal
team
makes
to
the
software.
So
that's
why
we
need
to
buy
additional
services
in
order
to
continue
to
develop
this
system,
and
my
understanding
is
that
the
ongoing
development
that
we
want
to
do
is
to
make
the
One-Stop
PGH
more
user
friendly
right
for
the
public
right
so
that
folks
can
come
in
and
and
deal
with
their
permits,
Etc.
So
I
I'll
open
it
up
to
questions.
N
I
just
would
like
to
know
who's
negotiating
the
agreements,
and
you
know
what
they're,
including
in
there.
So
that's
who's
negotiating.
O
O
N
About
what's
included
in
the
contract,
but
I
just
want
to
also
say
that
I
don't
know
that
that
we're
spending
money
wisely
in
this
department,
especially
because
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
would
prefer
having
to
be
to
talk
to
someone
face
to
face,
would
like
to
see
someone
that
they
can
help
work
through
things.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
that
feel
that
our
system
is
now
more
complicated
and
less
user-friendly,
not
more
user
friendly
and
so
I.
N
Just
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
in
general,
and
so
maybe
we'll
have
a
post
agenda.
I'll
talk
to
you
about
that
about
what
we're
doing
in
that
department
in
general,
but
I
do
know
that
it
was
technology.
Honestly,
when
I
first
came
here,
I
worked
at
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
before
I
got
here.
Their
technology
was
amazing,
I
mean
amazing
and
I
got
here
and
I
was
it
was
so
behind,
and
then
somebody
says
you
think
you're
bad.
N
You
ought
to
see
the
county,
so
it
was
like,
but
now
I
think
that
people
are
all
making
changes
they're
more
aware
of
what
you
know
we
can
and
cannot
do,
but
I
just
want
to
I
would
like
to
get
to
the
place
where
I
feel
like
I
can
turn
on
my
computer
without
having
to
call
imp
to
come
back
and
turn
it
on
and
change.
My
password
there's
little
things
like
that.
N
G
N
M
I
I
also
want
to
say
you
know:
I
I
do
agree
with
you
Madam
president,
but
just
to
clarify
so
in
terms
of
I
agree
that
there
are
lots.
I,
I
I've
have
a
number
of
constituents
who
have
a
very
hard
time
dealing
with
their
permits,
and
they
really
just
need
somebody
that
they
can
get
on
the
phone
to
kind
of
you
know,
hold
their
hand
and
guide
them
through
the
permitting
process.
However,
that
is
at
this.
M
At
the
same
time,
we
there's
also
a
high
demand
for
you
to
be
able
to
do
everything
online
right.
Like
you
know,
this
is
the
age
where
we
can
do
everything
on
our
phone
practically
so,
and
and
just
to
to
note
that
those
are
two
separate
things
right.
So
imp
is
in
charge
of
making
sure
that
the
online
stuff
is
available,
that
the
digital
side
of
things
is
available
and
then
pli.
M
K
K
Who've
worked
on
every
iteration
of
ones.pgh
who
are
calling
me
because
it's
so
screwed
up
this
year,
so
I
don't
know
what
has
progressed
with
one
bth,
but
I
mean
we're
talking
like
a
coffee
shop
right
that
is
expanding
and
their
Architects
and
their
you
know,
paid
construction,
people
and
everybody
who's
been
pulling
permits
for
decades,
get
lost
into
some
internet
snafu
in
once.pgh.
So
there's
a
there's,
definitely
a
problem
right.
What
are
all
these
permits
that
aren't
relevant
to
this
project?
Why
can't
I
get
past
it?
Why
is
the
inspector
shutting
it
down?
K
I
have
a
district
that
has
especially
a
lot
of
small
businesses,
and
so
it
seems
in
my
ex
in
my
office
that
we're
getting
these
calls
from
kind
of
Main
Street
storefronts,
who
are
their
businesses
and
they
need
that
occupancy
permit
to
be
able
to
operate.
They
have
employees
to
pay
and
they
need
that
revenue
and
they're
getting
lost
into
the
internet
void.
So
I
just
had
to
jump
in
and
say
that
that
it's
more
widespread
than
just
a
resident
who's
never
done
this
before
so,
but
again,
I
would
support
that
post
agenda.
I.
K
Think
it's
time
not
for
this
agenda,
but
for
it
deserves
its
own
time
and
attention.
I
I've
been
saying
this
for
a
while.
Other
members
have
been
saying
this
for
a
while.
You
know
the
concept
was
a
lot
easier
than
the
implementation
when
eight
or
nine
years
ago,
we're
like
oh,
we'll,
go
from
paper-based
and
having
to
be
in
person
downtown,
because
certainly
people
don't
want
to
have
to
drive
downtown,
and
we
all
said
it
at
the
time.
That's
great.
Let's
just
put
it
all
online.
K
Well,
it's
been
many
many
millions
of
dollars
not
just
for
one
stop
PGH,
but
for
lots
of
other
things
and
it's
time
for
us
to
stop
and
take
a
hard
look
and
and
reassess
and
adjust.
If
we
need
appreciate
it.
I
He
said
Chuck
initially,
I
was
floored
by
some
of
the
costs.
Imp
for
technology
I
know
everybody's.
You
know
moving
to
that
and
it's
all
fine
and
good.
But
it's
really
frustrating
for
me
when
we
can't
have
somebody
answer.
The
phone
anymore.
I
have
a
lot
of
constituents
that
still
use
the
phone.
They
want
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
say
Hey.
How
do
I
go
about
this
so
I
feel
like
we're
and
at
a
time
when
we're
desperate
for
police
vehicles
and.
O
I
Engines
and
we're
putting
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
into
re-upping
our
One-Stop
program.
I
get
many
complaints
over
it.
I
get
people
who
can't
find
their
way
around
it.
I
myself
couldn't
for
the
longest
time,
I
have
since
then
adapted,
but
do
you
still
answer
the
phone
in
your
department?
Do
you
have
somebody
that
says
this
is
information?
Yes?
Is
that
right?
Yes,.
O
O
O
I
I
guess
that's
really
pli
yeah
yeah
and
that's
frustrating
to
me
for
them
too,
but
okay,
yeah,
I'm,
just
I,
guess
I
stopped
being
surprised
at
the
price
tag
of
information
and
technology
today,
but
it's
a
necessary
evil.
So
that's
all
for
me.
Thanks.
F
F
A
K
K
Yeah
so
I've
got
a
brief
summary,
but
if
you
wouldn't
mind
I'll
I'll
bring,
we
have
people
from
the
ra
here
David.
You
want
to
join
us.
K
I
think
you
can
just
introduce
yourselves
for
the
record
in
the
public
and
then
just
give
us
a
brief
synopsis,
because
I'm
I'm
excited
that
we
are
acquiring
what
looks
like
existing
housing
am
I
understanding
that
correctly.

I'll,
defer
to

any
of

have

if

they're

S
K
K
N
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
say,
congratulations
to
councilman
cross
too,
because
I
know
that
he's
been
working
hard
on
this
school
building
in
this
area.
He
and
his
chief
of
staff,
Bob
charland,
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
work,
so
I
think
congratulate
them
on
their
work,
but
I
also
want
to
say,
I
think
that
we
need
to
think
a
little
bit
more
when
we're
talking
about
housing
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
N
N
But
we
forget
about
the
seniors
that
want
to
stay
in
Pittsburgh
and
there's
not
a
lot
of
patio
homes
or
re
or
places
where
people
can
live
in
Pittsburgh
without
having
to
go
to
retirement
home
or
in
some
type
of
assisted
living
and
so
and
fairy
wood
we're
getting
ready
to
build
patio
homes
and
the
community
is
so
excited
about
it
because
they'll
be
able
to
stay
and
they'll
be
affordable.
N
For
the
next
40
years,
and
so
that's
a
project,
we
should
be
doing
more
of
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
we
failed
to
do
that.
A
lot
of
times
we
forget
about
the
seniors
and
as
I
mentioned,
it's
affordable
patio,
homes
and
individuals.
So
you
have
that
individual
living
where
you
feel
like
you're,
not
relying
on
somebody.
It
gives
you
that
little
bit
of
Independence
and
I'm
going
to
look
for
one
for
my
husband.
Q
R
I
I
know
David,
thanks
for
being
here,
I'm
glad
that
we're
starting
to
focus
on
senior
living
or
scene.
What
do
we
call
it?
Senior
senior.
G
G
I
And
I
understand
with
Berg
place
the
development
up
on
Brownsville
Road.
We
have
at
least
one
proposal
for
such
a
site
for
somewhere
around
the
same
size,
40
some
units
for
senior
living,
and
did
we
get
other
proposals
on
that?
Were
they
also
focused
around
Senior
Living?
Oh
they
all.
So
we
had
three
and
they're
all
three
focused.
I
You
know
what
I
find
it
widely
acceptable
in
the
community.
You
know
I've
been
out
there
and
I've
at
least
shared
with
them.
I
We
have
a
presentation
up
in
Carrick
at
some
point
in
the
next
week
or
two,
but
you
know
I
would
get
nothing
but
positive
responses
back
from
the
community,
because
they're
looking
to
stay
in
the
neighborhood
and
they
know
that
they
can't
manage
the
the
big
home
and
the
yard
that
comes
with
it,
and
you
know:
I've
learned
through
my
own
experiences
senior
housing
is
or
when
you're
looking
to
put
an
elderly
person
that
maybe
needs
some
assistance,
it's
outrageously
expensive.
I
R
So
the
Ura
provided
a
nif
grant
a
couple
of
years
ago
to
get
the
project
underway.
I
forget
exactly
how
much
that
was
for,
but
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
that
and
then
I
don't
know
how
much
we
have
committed
in
the
capital
stack
at
this
point.
But
it's
not
uncommon
for
the
Ura
to
provide
between
750
000
and
1.25
million
through
the
the
rental
gap
program
for
litec
projects
of
this
size.
R
I
R
Yeah,
it's
going
to
be
very
possible
yeah,
okay,
in
in
the
case
of
berg
Place,
the
Ura
actually
owns
that
property.
So
we
are
stabilizing
the
property.
G
R
Yeah,
the
Bell
tutor
consensus
group
actually
owned
the
school
at
the
time
that
we
provided
them
a
nif
grant.
In
order
to
do
the
stabilization
themselves
and.
I
When
we
talk
about
stabilizing
a
property,
if
we're
going
to
be
turning
it
over
to
a
developer
at
some
point
for
whether
it's
senior
housing
or
whatever,
whatever
the
other
proposals,
are,
why
do
we?
Why
do
we
want
to
sink
anybody
into
this
place?
When
we
know
it's
in
one
proposal,
it's
gonna
be
knocked
down.
We,
so
we
won't
make
that
investment
until
we
know,
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
structure,
correct.
R
Stabilization
decisions
are
made
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
I
think
oftentimes.
We
hear
from
communities
that
they
they
prefer
to
save
buildings
rather
than
demo
them
so
oftentimes,
there's
at
least
a
bare
minimum
amount
of
stabilization
put
into
properties
that
we
are
looking
to
redevelop.
We
try
not
to
do
I
guess
too
much
to
your
point,
understanding
that
some
of
these
cases
may
eventually
be
demoed,
but
there
is
also
a
public
safety
and
sort
of
a
blight
remediation
responsibility.
No.
I
I
You
know,
let's
eliminate
them
so
I
hate
to
see
us
put
anything
into
these
buildings
that
we
don't
absolutely
necessarily
have
to
I
understand
about
Public
Safety,
absolutely,
but
beyond
that,
until
we
actually
accept
or
decide
what
we're
going
to
do
there,
we
try
not
to
put
any
money
into
the
actual
physical
structure
of
these
buildings.
Correct.
Absolutely!
K
So
I
am
supportive
of
the
bill
today
and,
of
course,
I'm
supportive
for
the
project,
but
just
one
little
plug
how
many
nine
percents
did
the
city
receive
from
the
state
this
year.
So
these
are
awarded
from
the
state
like
once
a
year
and
we
don't
get
very
many
so
I'm
just
curious.
How
many
we
get
this
year.
R
Is
quite
High
I
would
say
that,
at
least
in
my
time
here
over
the
past,
like
five
years,
it's
ranged
from
anywhere
between
three
to
six
Awards,
so.
K
Right
so
again,
just
kind
of
a
general
comment
that
we've
been
talking
for
years
about
how
to
do
more
four
percent,
because
there's
just
so
many
of
those
around
we
could
do
a
lot
more
of
them
without
having
to
wait.
Sometimes
projects
apply,
don't
get
it
sit
and
wait
for
another
year
apply
again
for
another
nine
percent,
don't
get
it
sit
and
wait
again
friend
of
the
year
before
they
finally
are
awarded
that
nine
percent
lie
Tech,
which
does
afford
this
deep
affordability,
they're,
usually
around
45,
to
50
units
in
size.
K
But
you
know
with
a
four
percent,
we
could
do
mixed
income
and
we
might
be
able
to
add
just
as
many
of
the
deeply
affordable
units
if
we're
doing
you
know
five
times
as
many
projects
and
so
I
look
forward
both
at
the
Housing
Opportunity
funds,
and
it
talks
about
kind
of
what
we're
doing
with
our
funding
for
affordable
housing
to
see.
If
we
can't
also
encourage
just
more
projects.
This
just
isn't
getting
us
there.
So
I
just
had
to
throw
that
in
because
we've
been
saying
this
for
a
number
of
years.
G
B
1432
resolution
authorizing
the
urban
Redevelopment
authority
of
Pittsburgh
or
an
urban
Redevelopment
authority
of
Pittsburgh
affiliate
to
acquire
all
the
city's
right
title
and
interest
if
any
in
into
the
following
publicly
owned
properties.
In
the
15th
ward
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
designated
in
the
deed
registry
office
of
Allegheny
County
as
block
56
C
Lots
224,
226,
227,
228,
229
and
230
Council
District
number
five.
N
K
Thank
you
all
for
staying
at
the
table,
my
understanding
this
correctly,
that
this
is
the
city
taking
Hazelwood
to
be
a
permanent
Park.
Finally,.
R
Yes,
this
is
legislation
that
helps
enable
the
transfer.
This
is
a
very
technical
piece
of
legislation
council's
already
authorized
that
transfer,
but
is
part
of
getting
the
parcel
over
to
the
city,
the
county
assigned
a
new
parcel
ID
number
that
was
slightly
different
than
the
one
included
in
the
initial
City
resolution.
So
this
is
just
ensuring
that
council
is
authorizing.
The
current
parcel
number.
R
N
N
Mention
that
you
were
also
when
I
talked
about
ferrywood,
the
Ura
is
also
heavily
involved
in
the
fairy
wood
projects.
So
thank
you
for
that
too,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
councilman
gross
for
working
so
hard
on
making
sure
city
council
has
a
say
and
what
happens
to
our
real
estate.
As
you
can
see,
you
have
a
lot
of
parcels
moving
here
and
I.
Just
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
Councilman.
M
Yeah
just
to
say
that
you
know
the
the
haze
Woods
it's
it's
really
exciting,
I
mean
there's
so
much
potential
for
Hayes
Woods,
but
I
just
have
to
say
going
forward.
You
know
over
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
I
mean
I've
heard
so
many
suggestions
so
far
of
amazing
things
that
could
happen
there
from
like
Wildlife
preserves
to
campsites.
You
know
to
just
be
able
to
go
camping
like
right
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
like
just
all
kinds
of
great
ideas
and
I.
M
Think
that
this
is
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
a
great
place
or
become
a
great
place,
it's
already
beautiful,
but
you
have
to
sort
of
be
really
into
hiking.

Thank

want

First,
encourage

some
other
things

are
