A
Alright,
good
morning,
everybody
and
I
appreciate
everybody
being
here.
My
name
is
Kevin
Ocalan
on
the
chief
of
staff,
Tamara
Peduto
I'm,
also
the
chairman
of
the
Urban
Redevelopment
Authority,
and
this
is
really
a
great
opportunity
for
our
city.
If
you
look
where
we've
come
from,
and
you
know,
yesterday
was
the
service
for
our
maslov
and
her
picture
hung
on
the
wall
there.
A
It's
now
down
and
lying
in
state
in
the
city
of
first
floor
of
the
city,
county
building
and
she's
somebody
who,
when
she
was
mayor
at
a
time
when
is
our
mayor
currently
says
Pittsburgh,
was
on
its
knees.
You
know
when
I
was
a
kid.
Like
many
of
you,
we
were
a
steel
based
economy,
we
lost
a
whole
generation
of
pittsburghers,
but
we
bounced
back
and
we
had
the
leadership
and
mayor
maslov
to
really
oversee
that
process,
to
transform
ourselves
from
a
manufacturing,
basica
economy.
A
We
are
competing
against
other
cities
on
the
planet,
but
like
pittsburghers,
we
welcome
that
competition
and
we
think
we
have
something
to
offer
in
typically
how
we
do
things
under
mayor
Peduto.
We
don't
like
to
dictate.
We
like
to
round
table
or
oval
table
in
here
in
the
mayor's
conference
room.
So
this
will
be
a
collaborative
process.
A
We
like
to
lead,
but
we
like
to
lead
with
folks
and
share
a
seat
at
the
table
to
make
sure
that
the
plane
we
put
in
place
is
not
only
the
best
that
the
city
has
to
offer,
but
also
one
that
we
can
all
work
on
and
put
together
in
when
you
think
about
being
resilient
I
think
about
a
month
ago,
or
two
months
ago,
pittsburgh
was
named.
I
think
the
fifth
rose
fifth
most
resilient
city
in
the
world.
A
That
was
a
talking
point
that
I
had
used
in
different
things
when
I
was
out
there
until
one
time
might
have
been.
You
said
that
well,
denver
was
number
four,
so
you
say
that
in
a
meeting
yeah
thanks
grant.
This
is
the
staff
we
have
here,
but
in
any
event,
just
a
tremendous
number
of
things
that
are
going
on
outside
of
city
hall
in
our
city
and
it's
our
job
to
really
pull
that
all
together,
put
it
on
paper
with
this
application
and
show
the
rockefeller
foundation
that
we
deserve.
A
You
know
this
award
in
in
really
today
is
about
starting
to
develop
a
thoughtful
plan,
an
intentional
strategy,
a
proactive
approach
to
how
we
can
ensure
what
we
are
doing
here
in
the
city
is
something
worthy
of
the
investment
of
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
and
so
before.
I
turn
it
over
to
grant.
Who
is
our
sustainability
manager
in
the
mayor's
office?
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you.
It's
it's.
It's
an
honor
to
walk
into
these
doors
every
day,
I
got
here
at
about
five-thirty
this
morning.
A
There
are
a
number
of
issues
that
are
on
our
our
plate
and
a
lot
of
times
in
city
government.
You
play
defense
in
the
sports
analogy,
your
things
are
thrown
at
you,
you
don't
know
what
you're
walking
into,
but
this
is
our
chance
to
come
together
and
play
offense
and
really
define
a
relationship
to
bring
somebody
on
board
here,
with
the
support
of
the
Rockefeller.
A
Foundation
and
you'll
have
our
full
support
within
the
mayor's
office
to
make
sure
that
your
voice
is
heard
and
that
if
we
are
successful
in
getting
this
award,
that
will
continue
to
work
together
to
build
a
more
resilient
City
and
that's
what
we're
all
about.
The
final
thought
is,
you
know,
is
again
bringing
it
back
to
Mayor
mass
off
and
all
the
other
mayor's
that
were
there
and
their
staff.
You
have
a
limited
time
that
you're
this
office
and
that's
something
that
we
walk
in
here
every
day.
A
There's
an
awesome
power
to
be
here
in
a
mayor's
office
and
I.
Think
if
you've
interacted
with
those
of
us
who
are
here,
we
don't
take
that
for
granted,
and
so
this
is
one
example
of
something
that
we
want
to
leave
as
a
legacy,
and
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
grant
and
I
appreciate
everyone
being
here
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank
you.
