A
Okay
hi
good
morning,
everyone-
I
am-
I,
along
with
some
colleagues,
came
downtown
to
the
city
county
building
to
support
council
person.
Erica
strasberger's
proposed
uh
plastic
bag
ban
today
on
the
the
portico
of
the
city
county
building
step.
So
we
wanted
to
come
down
and
root
route
for
her
and
root
for
our
very
own
chris
mitchell,
who
talked
about
plastic
in
the
ways
that
it
ends
up
all
over
the
place
um
so
in
in
kicking
off.
First,
echoing
what
chris
said.
A
A
I
uh
I'll
kick
off
by
um
reading
a
portion
of
our
mission
setting
up
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission
for
those
who
aren't
familiar
now
that
we
have
a
bit
broader
reach
and
our
recordings
are
made
um
made
available
on
the
city
channel's
youtube
after
our
air
date.
um
So
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission
is
an
18-member
body.
um
We
are
comprised
of
city
representatives,
non-profit
representatives
and,
of
course,
community
representative.
A
We
are
legislated
to
be
the
primary
resource
for
neighborhood
beautification
projects
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
However,
though,
we
are
a
small
but
mighty
team,
um
we
are
still
kind
of
coming
into
our
own
powers
and
uh
do
what
we
can
with
what
we
have
as
far
as
insofar
as
working
with
our
partners
on
all
kinds
of
initiatives
from
the
garbage
olympics
to
focusing
on
specific
neighborhoods
to
subsidizing
um
the
recycling
of
televisions
and
computers,
those
those
kinds
of
things.
um
So,
let's
be
here.
A
A
B
D
F
C
H
I
J
K
H
L
N
B
O
N
P
N
We
could
actually
have
those
all
the
offices,
so
when
inspectors
are
here
and
the
revamping
and
the
merging
of
uh
for
lack
of
a
better
word,
I
guess
some
duplicate
services
that
various
agencies
within
the
city
we're
doing,
such
as
uh
pli
and
environmental
services,
and
I
guess
to
some
extent,
maybe
even
durhami-
I
don't
know
so,
if
it's
possible,
we
could
touch
on
that
first,
because
I
know
that
judge
pappas
is
done
in
court
now
and
he'll
be
leaving
at
noon.
I
gotta
leave
to
get
to
there.
A
Yeah
absolutely
judge
king
and
that's
such
a
good.
um
That's
a
good
segue
into
um
the
presentation
that
we'd
like
to
give
that
covers.
You
know
some
of
those
duplicative
duplicitous
efforts
of
enforcement,
the
different
ways
that
we
do
and
do
not
communicate
with
each
other
and
um
work
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
you
know
if
not
on
the
same
page
read
in
the
same
handbook
um
with
that,
though
I
had,
I
said
I
wanted
to
mention
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission.
A
What
I
really
would
like
to
mention
um
is
the
work
that
we
put
together
on
the
city's
goals
on
littering
and
dumping.
The
gold
plan,
which
you'll
hear
chris
mitchell,
will
speak
to
us
all
about.
um
We
we
at
the
city,
and
we
on
the
commission,
know
that
there
is
no
one-size-fits-all
or
one
approach
to
litter.
That
will
you
know
clean
everything
up
and
make
it
stay
that
way.
A
A
We
will
delay
um
approving
last
month's
minutes
till
the
end
of
the
end,
the
meeting
for
the
sake
of
time
um
and
with
that
I
would
be
so
pleased
to
turn
it
over
to
chris
mitchell
to
start
in
on
our
environmental
enforcement
presentation
and
and
again
may
I
reiterate,
um
judge
king
and
it
seems,
like
judge
butler
now,
to
um
judge
pappas
and
judge
hanley.
Thank
you
so
much
for
spending
um
a
portion
of
your
monday
morning
with
us
so
appreciated
over
to
you.
C
Thank
you
and
uh
thank
you
especially
judge
king,
for
starting
this
off.
So
well,
that's
exactly
what
we
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about
today.
uh
Some
code
changes
some
new
hires,
some
new
structures
in
the
city.
uh
Before
we
get
to
these
new
things,
we
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about
just
kind
of
the
trash
crisis
that
pittsburgh
faces
uh
in
general.
um
In
2019,
pittsburgh
took
part
in
a
statewide
study
uh
that
broke
down
how
much
it
cost
taxpayers
to
deal
with
litter
and
illegal
dumping.
C
C
The
final
result
of
the
study
showed
that
pennsylvania
taxpayers
shell
out
around
68
million
dollars
a
year
on
these
issues.
80
of
that
is
just
going
to
clean
it
up
afterwards.
After
it's
already
been
a
nuisance
to
everybody,
that's
what
the
bulk
of
the
money
is
spent
on.
Currently
only
six
percent
is
spent
towards
enforcing
these
things.
um
The
study
concluded
that,
in
order
to
reduce
the
large
cost
of
abatement
after
it's
already
been
a
nuisance
and
and
caused
all
these
problems,
we
have
to
increase
investment
in
education,
prevention
and
enforcement.
C
We've
done
a
couple
studies
locally
too.
Last
year
we
did
some
for
the
first
time
a
pilot
about
something
called
a
litter
index
in
pittsburgh.
Specifically
uh
we
piloted
this,
and
we
took
a
rating
of
every
single
street
segment
for
about
half
the
city.
In
our
initial
pilot
uh
with
3
000
street
segments
surveyed,
we
found
that
over
three-fourths
of
streets
had
at
least
a
moderate
amount
of
litter
and
of
those
streets
around
one-third
had
enough
to
be
considered
severely
littered.
C
The
index
did
not
distinguish
whether
the
litter
was
on
the
public
property
right-of-way,
the
street,
the
sidewalk
or
on
public
property,
because
the
effects
of
everybody
around
it
is
all
the
same,
whether
it's
across
those
invisible
lines,
everybody
considers
litter
a
nuisance
right,
but
the
real
world
affects
one
resident
should
be
considered.
A
very
real
life
threatening
hazard,
chronic
exposure
to
litter,
illegal
dumping,
debris
and
weeds
graffiti.
C
All
have
direct
contributors
to
poor
health
years
of
studies
have
found
that
caron
exposure
to
urban
blight,
like
these
uh
harms
heart
health
blood
pressure,
mental
stability,
a
very
recent
philadelphia
experiment.
Just
this
past
year,
found
that
picking
hundreds
of
randomly
selected
previously
blighted
lots
and
maintaining
them
compared
to
other
control.
Lots
that
continue
to
be
littered
and
overground
led
to
an
astounding
drop
in
crime
surrounding
the
lots,
including
a
29
decrease
in
gun
violence,
and
this
is
during
a
time
where
gun
violence
rose
across
the
country.
C
Here
in
pittsburgh,
in
2016,
we
understood
a
uh
there
there's
a
local
study
that
found
that
pittsburgh,
black
youth
formed
their
ideas
of
self-value
and
self-worth,
based
in
part
on
how
their
neighborhoods
were
covered
in
trash.
uh
This
is
a
concept
known
as
environmental
justice,
which
understands
that
residents
in
poor,
racially
segregated
and
disinvested
neighborhoods
suffer
the
worst
consequences
of
our
trash
crisis,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
this
isn't
just
academic
city
council
members
report
that
trash
issues
are
the
number
one
complaint
that
they
receive
from
their
constituents.
C
Three
one
one
can
consistently
had
trash
related
issues,
be
the
top
three
requests
made
to
the
city,
uh
and
uh
people
are
always
reporting
that
they
want
to
see
more
visible
consequences
for
the
neighbors
who
are
trashing
up
their
homes.
uh
All
the
comments
found
here
on
this
slide
are
all
just
people
shouting
into
the
void
of
social
media
like
this
wasn't
even
directed
to
the
city.
It's
it's
that's
how
bad
our
crisis
is
now
when
we
want
to
talk
about
our
current
state
and
enforcement
of
this
crisis.
C
Currently,
several
different
city
departments
are
responsible
for
enforcement
of
trash
issues
to
find
out
who's
responsible
for
what
you
have
to
ask.
Basically,
a
myriad
of
questions.
Starting
very
simply,
is
there
trash
on
the
ground
and
is
it
litter?
Is
it
illegal
dumping?
Is
it
on
private
property?
Is
it
public
property?
Does
it
come
from
a
trash?
Can?
Does
it
come
from
a
dumpster
and
you
keep
negotiating
your
way
through
this
maze
until
you
get
to
the
proper
party?
C
C
We've
announced
the
plan
publicly
uh
this
year
and
have
two
roles
in
2022
budget
for
trash,
dedicated
enforcement
officers
and
one
for
an
outreach
specialist.
These
are
the
first
hires
and
we're
expecting
to
have
more
as
we
go.
The
end
goal
of
the
gold
plan
will
be
instead
of
this
big
mess
here
to
find
out
who
is
responsible
for
this?
We
only
have
to
ask
the
one
question:
is
there
trash
on
the
ground?
C
Please
know
that
the
gold
plan
and
the
city's
plans
aren't
all
about
enforcement.
This
is
something
that's
definitely
going
to
affect
the
way
that
we
interact
with
you,
but
we
know
uh
we
expect
better
of
our
residents
and
to
do
better
by
them.
We
are
simultaneously
overhauling
how
this
operates
in
order
to
do
better
on
legal
uh
littering
illegal
dumping
on
public
property
as
well.
Gold
calls
for
dedicated
full-time
public
works
crews
to
do
better
at
abating
blind
on
its
own
properties.
C
After
all,
a
strategy
to
enforce
the
litter
and
debris
on
mismanaged
private
homes
would
be
pointless
if
we're
not
better
doing
better
on
all
the
vacant,
lots
right
next
to
them.
The
creation
of
the
gold
plan
came
mostly
from
just
talking
to
residents
and
foreign
and
inspectors
and
non-profits,
who
have
all
just
voiced
frustrations
at
this.
How
the
city
deals
with
these
things,
how
they
are
not
treated
with
the
seriousness
that
these
issues
deserve.
A
Chris,
if
I
could
cut
in
it's
alicia
um
you'd
mention
all
of
the
different
conversations
that
led
into
this.
I
wanted
to
specifically
highlight
the
conversations
that
happened
here
at
our
monthly
clean
pittsburgh.
Commission
meetings,
um
judge
king
you
had
you
had
mentioned
some
of
the
disparities
in
in
timelines
and
violations
for
different
city
departments.
A
um
Well,
here
on
the
commission,
we
have
representatives
from
permit
licensing,
inspection,
mobility
and
infrastructure,
public
works,
streets
and
environmental
services,
so
we've
really
been
able
to
assess.
You
know
the
the
current
deficiencies
and
by
our
powers
combined
to
put
together
this
entire
thing
of
which
is
still
in
infancy,
stages
and
we're
super
happy
to
incorporate
any
suggestions
or
comments
you
may
have
into
the
end
back
to
you,
chris.
C
Absolutely
um
thank
you.
Alicia,
that's
100,
true
having
this
commission
here
really
gave
gives
us
such
a
great
view
that
we
wouldn't
have
by
ourselves,
and-
and
this
is
where
the
whole
gold
plan
came
from.
um
So
in
previous
cases,
uh
the
the
frustrations
that's
also
often
been
expressed,
comes
from
the
many
different
ways.
C
We
all
approach
it
from
different
angles
from
different
processes
and
that
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
have
come
up
over
and
over
again
in
these
interviews,
and
these
talks
lead
up
to
this
was
that,
yes,
the
goal
is
to
have
it
cleaned
up
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
by
the
time
the
anything
ever
makes
its
way
to
court.
There's
been
warning
after
warning:
there's
been
months,
possibly
years
that
go
by
between
the
initial
infraction
and
by
the
time
it
gets
to
court.
C
If
you
see
this
sign,
you've
probably
seen
it
all
over
the
city.
Very
honestly,
we've
never
had
anybody
pay
these
maximum
fines
on
these
signs,
and
we
think
maybe
the
predetermined
structure
of
punishments
that
it
calls
foreign
code
may
seem
unnecessarily
excessive
and
lead
to
some
of
these
things
just
being
thrown
out,
because
this
is
what
they're
expected,
and
nobody
really
does
that
um
we
absolutely
want
to
be
cognizant
of
the
limitations
defendants
may
face
and
their
punishments
for
the
crime
sensible
and
achievable.
C
We
can't
have
a
system
where
many
residents
are
subjected
to
neglectful
urban
blight,
which
we've
talked
about,
is
real
world
harm
to
neighbors,
uh
perpetrated
by
others
for
years
on
end,
and
then
they
clean
it
up
the
day
before
going
to
court,
and
it's
a
matter
of
you
know:
it's
cleaned,
no
harm,
no
file.
The
thing
we
really
want
to
stress
here
is
there
absolutely
was
harm
done
to
people
between
the
time
where
it
was
first
reported
to
us
as
a
city
by
the
residents
and
by
the
time
it
gets
to
the
point
where.
C
A
A
A
There
were
consequences
um
for
some
of
these
things,
so
so
um
with
missy
rosenfeld,
um
amiaqualy,
zak,
spodek,
meg
yarish,
and
I
had
kind
of
a
little
ragtag
bi-weekly
meeting
going.
We
took
time
to
look
at
every
single
part
of
city
code,
state
code,
county
code
that
could
potentially
be
enforced
with
with
regard
to
trash
violations
and
what
we
found
in
reading
and
re-reading
our
own
city
code
um
was,
it
didn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
and
the
the
way
that
dumped
materials
were
being
categorized
was
very
passive
and
very
small.
A
Compared
to
the
magnitude
um
of
what
we
see
every
day.
You
know
dumped
in
in
downhill
sides
and
in
alleys
and
in
vacant
lots
um
so
where,
before
it
said,
debris
and
waste
paper,
sweepings
and
ash
um
we've
updated
that
to
include
you
know
what
we
see
every
day
and
what
our
partners,
like
allegheny,
clean
ways,
see
every
day:
mattresses,
upholstered
furniture,
entire
parts
of
cars
um
that
you
know
the
actual.
A
The
realistic
version
of
that.
We
also
sought
to
make
the
violation
very,
very
clear.
um
Chris
will
talk
in
a
minute
about
how
you
know,
although
we
would
like
for
there,
we,
as
the
city
would
like
for
there
to
be
consequences.
um
We
we
do
truly
want
to
see
the
situation
resolved.
We
do
not
wish
to
be
punitive
um
but
they're.
uh
What
was
the
abraham
lincoln
coat?
We
when
we
smile,
we
still
want
to
be
able
to
show
teeth
behind
that
friendly,
um
friendly
intro.
C
Along
with
this,
we
also
know
that
fines
are
not
the
only
option
and
uh
city
wants
to
fully
solicitate
um
partnerships
between
each
individual
judicial
district
with
local
community
groups,
who
can
facilitate
uh
mandated
volunteer
work
to
make
up
for
the
harm
done
to
their
neighbors,
with
an
eye
towards
expanding
city
volunteer
operations
to
accommodate
these
things
as
well.
The
bloomfield
garfield
corporation
has
had
a
lot
of
success
in
this
area
and
we
want
to
replicate
their
model
throughout
the
city.
A
Yeah
and
we'd
also
like
to
learn.
um
You
know
whenever,
if
it's
okay
to
chime
in
now
or
whenever
uh
makes
sense
for
a
conversation
here,
learn
um
what
you
know
your
collective
honors
have
been
doing
in
this
regard
anyhow,
um
and
what
kind
of
uh
support
that
you
would
need
from
the
city?
You
know
if
there
was
an
ideal
world
where
we,
you
know
all
kind
of
know
what
one
another
is
doing,
what
mouth
we're?
A
N
Well,
actually,
I
mean
I'll
speak.
I
haven't,
uh
and
I
know
a
few
years
back
when
mr
rosenthal
was
hired
and
they
started
doing
the
cameras.
uh
The
truth
of
the
matter
is,
I
don't
think
I've
had
one
filing
yet
of
an
illegal
dumping
that
I've
really
had
to
deal
with.
uh
Mostly
it's
all
uh
bli
and
uh
just
lately
in
the
last
say
a
year
it's
been
environmental
services,
it's
starting
to
do
some
excitement,
but
I
haven't.
My
only
question
is
that
this
is
adopted
now.
Is
that
correct?
N
N
Because
I
just
that
that
the
term
community
restitution
kind
of
is
a
little
bit
ambiguous
as
far
as
you
know,
restitution
means
something
different
in
court
lingo.
So
to
speak.
So
I
don't
know
that
uh
you
know
what
what
would
be
considered
community
restitution
uh
prostitution
in
general
is
making
a
victim
full
again.
N
N
A
N
N
Groups
to
help
do
litter,
patrols
and
buy
bags,
and
things
like
that
was
that
community
restitution
or
not,
I
don't
know
um
that
kind
of
gets
down
a
slippery
slope
versus
community
service,
where
they're,
actually
partnering
and
physically
doing
things
you
know.
So
that's
why
I
just
I've
never
really
saw
the
term
community
restitution
in
any
any
kind
of
code
anyway.
I
know
this
is
a
first
for
me
anyway.
A
C
Absolutely
uh
we
we
definitely
want
to
um
form
a
lot
of
these
around
what
you'd
like
to
see.
um
We
do
want,
as
we
build
up
our
dpw
crews,
to
meet
challenges
of
actually
dealing
with
the
stuff.
We
do
want
to
recognize
the
unbelievable
work
done
by
volunteers
and
organizations
to
help
mitigate
this
damage
being
done
right
now.
uh
The
volunteer
cleanups
that
register
with
public
works
for
allegheny,
clean
ways,
programs,
operation,
better
block
with
peachy
uh
pick
up
pgh
the
street
stewards
uh
garbage
olympics
friends
of
the
riverfronts.
N
Vet's
point
of
view
again:
this
is
what
my
feelings
is
that
it's
not
really
what
I
want
to
see.
I
mean
I
live
in
the
neighborhood.
Obviously
you
know
the
litter
is
an
issue.
We
all
know.
We
all
see
it,
but
as
far
as
court
is
concerned,
what
I'd
like
to
see
is
maybe
a
little
better
training
for
all
the
different
inspectors.
Correct
addresses
for
the
people
that
are
being
cited
better
testimony,
pictures
real
evidence,
uh
that's
lacking
a
lot
of
times,
uh
especially
just
as
simple
as
it
may
sound.
N
A
good
address
on
the
person
that
you're
saying
is
the
violator
so
because
there's
evidentiary
issues
that
start
from
phase
one,
you
can
a
lot
of
times,
there's
an
impression
that
somehow
things
are
let
go
or
dismiss,
and
then
you
find
out
that
there
there
was
no
real
actual
evidence
presented
or
the
person
cited
was
a
wrong
address.
We
don't
have
when
normally
when
citations
or
private
criminal
complaints
are
filed,
they're
filed
here
and
we
have
to
mail
them
well,
we
have
obligated
to
send
a
certified
regular
mail
when
the
certified
compact
bad
address.
N
It
doesn't
move
forward
until
we
provide
that
information
back
to
inspectors
that
it
doesn't
seem
to
go
anywhere
so
that
that's
a
you
want
to
work
on
a
basic
problem,
good
addresses
pictures
and
a
little
bit
of
better
training
for
the
inspectors.
Although
sometimes
people
from
the
law
department
comes,
it
seems
like
that
some
of
the
agencies
really
don't
take
advantage
to
use
the
law
department.
N
uh
The
law
department
sometimes
would
advise
them
of
a
way
to
go
and
it's
just
totally
ignored.
So
those
are
real
issues.
If
you're
worried
about
court
things
that
that
really
go
for
a
better
case
to
be
presented,
you
know
because
we're
there
we're
sitting,
I'm
not
I'm
not
for
the
community
group,
I'm
not
for
the
litter
or
the
illegal
number,
I'm
here
to
make
a
decision
and
based
on
the
evidence,
so
that
that's
that's
truly.
What
needs
to
happen,
although
we
all
in
our
neighborhoods,
are
sympathetic
to
the
cause.
N
We
usually
want
to
have
some
type
of
a
paper
signed
off
by
someone
that
they
did
the
hours
and
things
like
that,
so
some
groups
are
better
at
that
than
others
that
they're
more
organized
groups.
You
know,
so
those
are
just
some
ideas.
I
wanted
to
throw
out
they're
looking
at
it
judicially.
As
far
as.
A
P
P
Some
of
the
folks
on
this
call
know
how
much
I
appreciate
it
because
they
helped
me
whenever
I
was
working
with
at-risk
youth
in
the
east
liberty
area,
the
area
that
I'm
from
and
now
represent
to
get
engaged
in
the
community,
and
one
of
the
approaches
that
we
took
was
uh
to
organize
monthly
cleanups,
and
sarah
shea
in
particular
always
made
sure
that
we
had
lots
of
volunteers
and
that
we
had.
um
You
know
all
the
resources
and
materials
we
needed
to
have
to
have
good
monthly
cleanups,
and
that
was
a
way
to
bring.
P
I've
seen
it
pay
off,
and
I
see
it
with
the
bgc
right
now,
which
you
mentioned,
um
organizing
neighborhood,
cleanups
and
actually
uh
one
thing
to
think
about
is
that
the
bluefin
garfield
corporation
received
a
grant
from
the
hines
endowments
to
do
the
work
they're
doing
which
you
mentioned
earlier,
but
also
because
of
their
connection
to
the
courts.
With
that
work,
I've
referred
hundreds
of
hours
of
community
service
to
the
bloomfield
garfield
corporation.
P
uh
This
goes
to
my
third
point
as
an
alternative
to
fines
and
costs
and
part
of
what
the
bloomfield
garfield
corporation
was
able
to
advocate.
For
with
the
heinz
endowments
was
they
are
a
court-approved
section,
1520
alternative
adjudication
program,
which
means
that
an
alternative
to
a
fine,
an
alternative
even
to
deciding
a
case.
P
I
can
refer
a
defendant
to
the
bloonfield
garfield
corporation
and
and
if
they
complete
a
certain
number
of
hours
of
community
service,
that's
appropriate.
In
their
case,
the
case
must
be
dismissed
and
so
their
approval
through
the
courts,
their
connection
to
the
courts
and
their
commitment
to
doing
the
work
that
you
mentioned
earlier,
we're
all
very
appealing
to
the
heinz
endowments,
especially
because
it's
an
alternative
to
paying
a
fine
keeping
the
community
safe
and
clean
and
stable,
while
at
the
same
time
not
burdening
folks
who
can't
afford
fines
and
costs.
P
You
know
with
those
kinds
of
obligations-
court
debt.
The
last
thing
I
would
mention
here
so
I
do
think
that
folks
should
think
about
reaching
out
to
the
bgc
reaching
out
to
their
magistrate
about
how
they
could
become
an
approved
alternative
adjudication
organization
and
then
going
from
there.
I
think
it's
a
great
framework.
P
P
I
think
it
might,
but
this
is
a
really
big
problem,
that
oftentimes
from
my
non-expert
experience
and
observations
arises
from
uh
households
where
the
head
of
household
is
elderly
or
suffers
from
depression
or
both
and
there
used
to
be
a
task
force
around
hoarding
and
how
to
prevent
it.
But
I
believe
at
this
point
has
disbanded-
and
I
really
like
to
see
some
focus
in
this
area
moving
forward
because
it
can
lead
to
evictions.
It
can
lead.
P
C
Thank
you
so
much.
This
is
exactly
the
kind
of
feedback
we
were
looking
for,
we're
going
to
be
sharing
a
survey
with
everybody
that
was
invited
all
of
our
great
judges
here.
To
give
us
more
of
this
feedback,
we
as
part
of
the
gold
plan.
We
are
going
to
be
working
to
consolidate
all
these
issues,
so
the
cases
you
see
will
seem
slightly
less
uh
disarrayed.
C
It
will
be
coming
from
a
much
more
focused
uh
unit
that
will
have
a
consistent
uh
approach
that
we
can
build
around
your
suggestions
of
what
you
want
to
see
when
coming
to
you.
So
we're
very
excited
to
have
this
conversation
with
you
and
these
points
you're
bringing
up
are
exactly
what
we
needed.
um
Thank
you
so
much,
and
we
still
have
a
little
bit
of
time.
If
you
guys
don't
have
to
jump
off
it
uh
right
now,
but
we
will
be
sharing
that
survey
with
you.
A
um
I
did
want
to
note
too
judge
pappas.
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
um
I
think
the
the
minute
you
said
hoarding
our
uh
commission,
member
and
director
of
the
department
of
permits
licenses
and
inspections.
Sarah
kinter
raised
her
hands
there.
Did
you
want
to
add
some
comments
there?
I
will
be
very.
K
Brief
just
judge
papas.
I
appreciate
that
comment
and
we
see
that
as
a
real
issue
in
the
city.
We
have
several
hoarding
instances
across
the
city
and
um
connecting
folks
to
help
is
a
challenge.
um
We
were
able
to
help
a
few
folks
through
veteran
assistance
services.
I
know
judge
papas.
You
were
really
instrumental
in
assisting
a
neighbor
in
your
jurisdiction,
but
that
is
a
huge
gap
in
service
and
looking
for
more
assistance
there,
the
previous
hoarding
board
has
been
disbanded.
K
We
did
reach
out
to
allegheny
county
health
department
in
human
services
to
see
if
we
can
bring
something
back
together
is
where
those
issues
exist.
We
need
intervention
and
mental
health
services
and
a
whole
host
of
services
at
that
time.
So
just
appreciate
that
comment
and
hope
that
this
commission
can
continue
to
work
on
on
that
really
tough
issue.
N
One
last
thing:
I
wanted
to
state
that
two
things
one
on
the
hoarding
you're
right,
the
healthy
I
used
to
do
the
hoarding
hearings.
uh
The
health
department
had
some
inspectors
dedicated
and
social
workers,
uh
and
would
do
that
and
when
dr
dixon
left
it
kind
of
just
went
by
the
wayside,
they
kind
of
got
out
of
a
lot
of
what
I
would
say,
maybe
more
residential
type
service.
The
health
department
did,
and
it
would
be
nice
to
see
them
get
back
into
that.
It
was
a
great
help.
N
Because
what
I
see
a
lot
is
the
frustration
of
the
people
in
my
area
that
come
here
to
find
out
because
they
don't
know
where
to
call
or
who
to
get,
especially
with
the
illegal
dumping,
mainly
because
they'll
call
the
police,
the
police
will
say
they
took
a
report,
but
nothing
really
else
happens
and
then
they'll
call
the
various
numbers
that
what
you
exactly
said
in
the
beginning
and
all
of
a
sudden
starts
the
ferris
wheel.
Well,
no
that's
over
there.
N
It
is
nice
that
judge
pappas.
Has
you
know
that?
That's
what
I
was
saying
there's
a
one
of
the
things
about
community
organizations,
there's
a
great
imbalance.
Some
are
very
professional
and
some
are
run
by
the
same
six.
People
they've
been
doing
it
for
15
20
years
and
you
know
they're
dedicated
people,
but
nobody
wants
to
step
their
plate
to
help
them
out
if
they're,
younger
and
so
there's
a
wide
variety
of
who
you
can
get
to
help
depending
on
what
area
and
what
areas
in
the
city
you're.
N
At
even
people
get
educated
on
how
to
get
a
grant
from
the
highest
development.
You
know,
and
things
like
that,
so
you
know,
no
one
thing
is
going
to
answer
it,
but
it's
it's
a
nice
step
here
that
hopefully
we
can
get
some
good
organized
united
front.
You
know
filing
court
understanding
the
law,
understanding
plan,
you
know
and
all
the
way
down
the
line.
So
uh
I
thank
you
for
trying
to
get
that
ball
rolling
and
it's
not
going
to
be
easy.
A
A
um
Improvement
notwithstanding
um
our
our
housing
court
lawyer,
sarah
steers
in
the
law
department
um
gets
pulled
in
a
lot
of
different
directions
and,
as
she's
able
to
you
know,
does
trainings
for
people
who
will
be
going
and
and
um
tries
to
convey
the
some
of
the
things
that
you
outlined,
judge
king
pretty
pretty
specifically,
but
we
still.
You
are
right
to
note.
We
have
improvements
to
make
on
that
end.
M
Excuse
me
sorry
about
that.
um
I
have
so
many
comments
that
I
want
to
give
to
the
judges.
I
really
appreciate
this
conversation,
um
but
I
also
just
wanted
to
mention.
um
I
need
to
leave
soon
for
a
cleanup,
so
I
just
wanted
to
know
if,
um
if
I
could
switch
places
with
haley
on
the
uh
the
next
agenda
item.
A
Yeah-
and
on
that
note
please
I
mean
I
would
consider
you
know-
I
don't
know
a
lot
of
you.
I
would.
I
would
love
to
kind
of
have
this
as
our
initial.
This
will
be
our
origin
story
in
a
lot
of
ways,
um
but
I
I
want
to
commit
to
you
that
this
is
by
no
means
you
know
a
one-and-done
conversation.
We
have
a
lot
to
figure
out.
We've
we've
um
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this,
but
there's
so
so
so
much
more
community
building
that
needs
to
come
next.
A
um
If
no
one
has
anything
else.
The
next
thing
on
our
agenda
is
our
pick
up.
Pgh
reports
for
a
quick
background.
The
clean
pittsburgh
commission
um
organized
30
000
worth
of
contracts
last
year
to
award
two
organizations
um
funding
to
to
not
just
coordinate
cleanups
but
to
then
turn
around
and
pay
the
people
uh
participating
in
those
cleanups.
um
In
that
way,
we
wanted
to
chris
had
mentioned
most
of
the
silent
work
of
volunteers.
C
Before
she
starts
I'd
like
to
to
say
that
uh
our
judges
are
very
busy
and
they
can
probably
uh
go
about
their
days
now,
if
you
want
to
stay
in
here,
talk
about
trash.
Please
do
we
love
talking
trash,
um
but
if
you've
got
to
go,
don't
feel
the
need
to
to
hang
on
any
longer,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
all.
N
N
C
N
A
M
M
M
M
To
read
through
later,
each
site
has
had
tvs,
tires
household
debris,
furniture,
it's
the
big
stuff,
it's
harder
to
clean
up
than
litter
in
a
lot
of
ways.
We've
had
dozens
of
really
amazing
volunteers
and
it's
been
it's
been
great
to
be
able
to
pay
them
for
their
time.
um
So
I
have
a
summary
of
each
cleanup.
A
lot
of
sites
we've
had
to
revisit
10
times
for
the
larger
ones,
and
I've
got
before
and
after
photos
in
here.
M
um
I
guess
it
would
probably
be
better
for
me
to
just
share
this
document
for
everyone
to
review
later,
but
it's
been
going
really
well.
We've
had
some
large
group
cleanups
with
residents
of
the
east
hills.
um
That's
one
of
our
biggest
challenges
is
getting
resident
volunteers
from
the
neighborhood.
Where
we're
working.
M
M
M
A
M
um
Well,
a
takeaway
that
I
have
that
relates
to
um
the
conversation
we're
just
having
with
the
judges
is
that
um
a
lot
of
residents
feel
powerless
or
like
they
don't
have
options
for
reporting
or
standing
up.
A
lot
of
these
dump
sites
are
decades
old
and
they've
lived
beside
them.
Their
whole
lives
and
kind
of
assume.
It's
been
there
for
so
long.
Nothing
can
be
done
about
it.
M
um
So
I
feel,
like
the
empowerment
aspect
of
the
four
e's,
is
going
to
be
really
important,
um
but
in
regards
to
some
of
these
sites
being
super
old,
I'm
really
hopeful
that
a
lot
of
the
sites
we're
cleaning
up
are
going
to
stay
clean
because
they're,
so
old
and
they've
turned
into
forests,
um
they're,
no
longer
easy
places
to
dump
and
once
they're
clean
they're
going
to
stay
green
spaces.
um
So
there's
some
optimism.
B
A
Yeah
this
is
so
great
danny
and
another
thing
I
I
had
a
question
about.
You
know
it's
it's
written
in
in
the
contract
that
allegheny
clean
ways
has
with
the
city
um
to
kind
of
be
able
to
share
out
the
good
stories,
and
you
know
definitely
some
of
the
bad
are
not
bad,
but
highlights
and
blooper
reels
say.
um
Would
there
be
anything
that
you
would
want
the
city
to
amplify?
M
M
L
L
L
You
can
see
what
sites
have
been
cleaned
up,
which
sites
still
remain
and
the
yellow
the
so
the
red
are
those
that
still
remain
the
green.
Are
those
that
have
been
cleaned
up?
The
yellow
are
those
that
are
in
progress,
so
this
just
kind
of
gives
us
an
update
of
where
we
are
at
this
point
and
you
can
um
and
each
one
of
these
has
you
know,
information
about
about
the
site
that
was
1.8
tons,
cleaned
up
there?
These
are
the
singer
steps
that
I
had
mentioned
before.
Q
A
Thanks
so
much
for
that
myrna
yeah
I
mean
for
for
all
of
allegheny
clean
ways.
um
Please
yeah,
please,
whatever
strong
messages
you
would
like
the
city
to
you
know,
in
addition,
for
all
of
the
things
that
you've
advocated
for
the
city
to
do
over
time.
You
know
we
put
that
in
the
contract
expressly
to
be
able
to
use
this
eradication
effort
to
also
inform
education.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
in
van.
M
I
A
J
J
All
right
great
um
well,
thank
you
for
having
me
here
this
morning.
Thank
you
um
to
danny
amara
from
allegheny
clean
ways.
uh
Your
work
is
so
inspiring
and
and
um
yeah.
Just
the
amount
of
work
that
you
all
have
done
this
year
is
really
exciting,
um
so
hard
hard
act
to
follow,
but
um
uh
the
pittsburgh
pickup
project
that
operation
better
block
has
been
able
to
implement
um
the
holsters
program.
J
So
just
some
background
on
operation,
better
block
quickly
we're
a
non-profit
based
in
homewood.
That's
been
doing
grassroots
community
development
work
for
50
years.
um
I
have
only
been
in
the
green
initiatives
coordinator
role
for
a
little
less
than
a
year
um
so
to
launch
this
pilot
program
here
in
2021
was
a
really
exciting
first
dive
into
building
community
relationships
and
getting
to
know
homewood.
J
So
just
some
background
on
what
our
program
looked
like.
So
we
wanted
to
identify
community
leaders
in
each
cluster
that
operation
better
block
has
defined
throughout
homewood.
So
we
have
nine
clusters
um
throughout
the
neighborhood
that
we've
kind
of
split
homewood
up
into,
and
so
the
hope
was
to
to
identify
a
leader
per
cluster
and
pay
them
for
uh
pay
them
15
per
hour
to
clean
up
litter
hot
spots
in
that
assigned
cluster
um
10
hours
per
week
for
up
to
10
weeks.
J
So
the
goals
were
to
pay
folks
to
do
that.
Wonderful
that
valuable
work
to
learn
valuable
environmental
stewardship
skills.
um
You
know
if
anyone,
particularly
if
anyone
was
interested
in
a
green
industry
career
but
be
building
uh
career,
job
skills
all
along
the
way,
regardless
of
industry
field
and
then
connecting
with
other
neighbors
and
local
organizations
who
are
also
care
about
this
work.
J
um
So
after
our
three
month
pilot,
we
have
some
really
exciting
numbers
from
the
the
cluster
steward
program,
so
we
were
able
to
um
initially
hire
or
engage
six
cluster
stewards.
um
Our
nine
clusters,
uh
five
were
able
to
complete
the
program.
We
had
five
cluster
stewards
that
completed
453
hours
of
litter
pickup
in
homewood
between
the
five
of
them
um
they
submitted
125
site
reports
so
visited.
J
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
number.
um
This
is
our
initial
plan,
so
this
is
how
homewood
is
split
up
into
different
clusters.
You
can
see
the
different
colors
are
clusters
and
the
circles,
um
since
we
are
only
hiring
six
cluster
stewards.
um
We
some
ended
up
with
more
than
one
cluster,
so
um
we
had.
You
know
you
can
see.
This
is
how
we
initially
distributed
the
cluster
stewards,
um
and
then
this
is
the
map
of
our
actual
pickup
sites,
of
where
um
our
cluster
stewards
kind
of
gravitated
towards
and
where
they
did
their
work.
J
J
We
have
the
date
the
cluster
steward
that
completed
the
work
which
cluster
it's
in.
um
We
used
chris's
um
scale
of
trash,
pickup,
so
kadija
out
of
four
rated,
this
a
two
um
and
then
how
many
uh
guys
of
trash
did
she
collect
that
need
picking
up,
and
this
system
seemed
to
work
out
really
well,
so
we're
excited
to
see
you
know
um
we
realized
right.
J
um
So
our
program,
formerly
this
pilot
program,
formerly
ended
on
october
31st,
um
and
we
met
as
a
group
to
get
feedback
from
the
five
cluster
stewards,
um
so
things
that
they
shared
initially
of
things
that
went
really
well
that
they
liked
about
the
program
and
would
like
to
see
again
if
we're
able
to
continue
and
expand
the
program.
um
Is
they
really
enjoyed
the
different
options
for
payment,
so,
um
in
addition
to
just
mailing
them
a
check
for
their
15
per
hour?
J
We
also
provided
the
option
for
electronic
gift
cards
sent
to
their
email
address
or
paying
their
a
utility
bill
through
operation,
better
blocks
bridge
to
benefits
program
in
the
amount
of
um
you
know
what
their
stipend
would
have
been.
um
They
also
liked
the
bi-weekly
payment,
um
so
we
were
able
to
do
payouts
twice
per
month
um
again
they
liked
the
ease
of
the
electronic
gift
cards.
J
Our
stewards
um
were
extremely
vocal
about.
They
really
felt
most
comfortable
working
in
pairs,
so
even
though
only
one
steward
would
have
been
assigned
to
an
area
they
our
most
successful
and
engaged
stewards
paired
up
and
then
covered
the
larger
geographic
area
that
both
of
them
were
responsible
for
um
and
communicated
that
they
felt
much
safer.
In
this
way,
there
was
a
lot
of
built-in
accountability
when
working
in
pairs,
so
that
was
really
successful.
J
They
also
communicated
that
um
when
the
program
participants
are
living
in
the
cluster
that
they
work
in,
um
that's
definitely
the
most
successful
model
um
and
giving
priority
to
homewood
residents
who,
for
our
program,
participants,
we
had
one
cluster
steward,
who
initially
started
out
responsible
for
an
area
that
they
weren't
living
in
and
we
were
able
to
adapt
and
problem
solve
and
realize
that
they
needed
to
be
assigned
a
new
cluster
because
they
just
didn't
know
that
area
well
enough.
So
they
didn't
know
where
the
hot
spots
were.
J
They
didn't
necessarily
feel
comfortable,
um
but
then
you
know
we're
able
to
re-engage
at
a
higher
level
once
their
cluster
matched
up
with
their
home
address.
um
Our
cluster
stewards
got
to
learn
a
lot
of
technology.
um
Our
reporting
form
was
through
google
forms
which
a
lot
of
folks
had
not
encountered
previously,
so
they
felt
really
comfortable
after
submitting
an
online
work
report.
Also
following
up
with
the
textured
email
to
make
sure
that
it
was
received
properly,
um
they
enjoyed
the
trainings
that
we
did
so
we
did
six
trainings.
J
One
of
them
was
required
to
review
safety
and
others
kind
of
sprinkled
in
um
you
know
our
operation
better
blocks
partner
organizations
who
do
similar
work,
other
community
programs
that
they
could
engage
in
as
a
volunteer,
um
but
they
did
say
that
all
of
these
trainings
were
front
loaded
in
the
program
in
july.
They'd
love
to
see
them
spread
out
throughout
the
course
of
the
program
and
to
also
follow
up
with
those
resources
in
the
weekly
update
email.
J
It
was
essential
to
our
our
success
that
we
had
an
intern
help
us
with
troubleshooting
and
kind
of
being
the
initial
point
person
for
all
of
our
cluster
stewards
and
to
track
documentation
and
then
also
heard
that
they
liked
the
availability
of
10
hours
per
week.
um
But
it
was
that
is
a
large
amount
of
time
um
and
that
we
could
shorten
that
per
week
so
that
we
could
expand
the
program
length.
They
said
they
really
enjoyed
it
and
wanted
to
keep
doing
it
more
than
just
three
months.
J
So
that
was
good
to
hear
some
things
that
um
feedback
that
we
got
about,
how
to
improve
the
program
um
just
following
up
with
with
forms
of
payment,
um
difficult
for
them
to
keep
track
of
electronic
gift
cards
in
their
inbox,
um
and
our
organization
ran
into
an
unexpected
problem
that
um
we
we
maxed
out.
One
of
our
um
our
organizational
credit
cards
buying
so
many
gift
cards
at
once.
J
We
already
talked
about
the
restrictions
on
hours
per
week
versus
per
month.
um
A
great
idea
they
had
was
business
cards
that
they
could
hand
to
passers-by.
Who
said
like
hey?
What
are
you
doing?
um
That
explained
the
program,
the
program
goals
and
what
maybe
community
members
can
do
on
their
own
to
get
engaged
in
the
effort?
You
know
like
connecting
them
to
the
the
clean
pittsburgh
commission
um
again
wanting
to
do
this
work
for
longer
so
over
a
six-month
period
rather
than
just
three
months
hoping
to
do
may
to
october.
J
All
of
the
photos,
transferring
um
the
individual
work
logs
to
that
that
google
map
document,
um
updating
the
payroll
log
and
the
submitted
work
logs
and
and
keeping
track
of
all
of
that
for
invoicing
um
and
then
not
being
able
to
send
it,
because
the
documents
were
too
large
so
trying
to
troubleshoot
that
in
the
future,
um
let's
see
just
anecdotally,
um
the
program
has
been
an
incredible
success.
We're
really
thrilled
one
of
our
most
engaged
cluster
stewards
kitty
just
said
that
she
really
has
never
seen
homewood
so
clean.
J
F
E
I
thought
that
was
that's
awesome.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
It's
really
interesting
to
see
and
hear
all
the
feedback
you
got
do
is
there.
Do
you
think
like
what
would
be
required
or
has
obb
thought
about
what
would
be
required
to
make
this
a
sustainable
program
um
like
looking
for
outside
sponsors
continued?
J
Yeah,
absolutely
um
it.
It
definitely
comes
down
to
available
staff
time,
so
that
in
turn
became
really
essential
um
and
then,
in
order
for
our
cluster
stewards
to
feel
comfortable
and
safe,
moving
forward,
making
sure
that
we
have
the
funding
in
order
to
pay
two
cluster
stewards
per
cluster
um
seems
to
be
really
essential.
That
was,
that
was
big
feedback.
J
We
heard
immediately
from
the
start
of
the
program
after
week,
one,
and
so
if
we
were
to
continue
it,
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
it
in
the
way
that
our
cluster
stewards
feel
the
most
comfortable
and
safe
and
making
sure
that
they
have
a
buddy
out
there
with
them.
So
funding
and
staff
time.
J
Something
else
anecdotally
that
I
think
is
really
special.
um
One
of
our
cluster
stewards
is
a
formerly
incarcerated
returning
citizen,
um
and
this
program
has
been
essential
for
that
cluster
steward
in
um
you
know,
as
a
first
opportun
uh
employment
opportunity
back
um
upon
returning
and
and
being
able
to
communicate
and
show
that
that
he
is
adding,
you
know,
adding
value
to
the
community
and
is
committed
to
um
yeah
to
supporting
his
neighbors
and
and
really
being
a
productive
citizen.
J
So
that
has
been
essential
in
him
being
able
to
find
other
long-term,
more
permanent
employment
opportunities.
um
So
we're
really
proud
of
that
to
be
able
to
showcase
that
um
some
other
things
yeah
we're
we're
just
thrilled
that
it
was
such
a
positive
experience
um
and
grateful.
Thank
you
um
to
alicia
for
for
kind
of
guiding
us
along
the
way
and
to
chris
for
coming
out
and
being
a
part
of
one
of
our
trainings.
C
Thank
you
so
much
that
was
such
a
great
presentation,
uh
I'd
love
to
dive
into
those
numbers,
and
I
probably
will
because
that's
exactly
the
kind
of
things
that
I
love,
um
so
we
will
move
on
from
here.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
we
can,
we
can
follow
up
later.
We
do
want
to
have
time,
for
our
finance
committee
updates.
E
You
were
not
um
trying
to
figure
out,
so
we
realized
that
we
had
a
surplus
of
funds,
in
particular
um
a
couple
different
spaces:
the
net,
the
neighborhood
of
focus
funds,
I
don't
think,
were
fully
spent,
and
then
we
had
put
aside
a
couple
of
thousand
dollars
for
the
um
hhw
and
e-waste
collections,
and
um
surprisingly,
people
didn't
use
them,
um
even
though
they
were
available,
and
so
I
think
only
like
120
was
used.
So
over
the
past
couple
of
maybe
of
the
past
month,
we've
been
trying
to
kind
of
look
at
the
budget.
E
E
All
right,
can
you
guys
see
that?
Yes,
okay,
um
so
this
is
kind
of
what
the
ones
on
the
top
that
are
the
in
in
black?
Are
the
ones
that
we've
already
been
approved
and
have
been
spent?
The
ones
down
below
in
red
are
things
that
were
discussed
and
invoices
that
came
through
that
we're
looking
to
get
approved
um
just
to
go
through
them.
I
mean.
Obviously,
this
is
going
to
be
need
to
share
it
out
with
the
entire
commission
to
get
a
vote.
E
um
I
don't
know
if
we'd
be
able
to
get
it
this
week,
since
thanksgiving
is
thursday,
but
I
do
know
we
need
stuff
in
asap,
so
maybe
we
can
figure
out.
What's
the
best
way
to
go
about
it?
um
The
first
one
was
just
the
um
for
the
pittsburgh
street
website,
the
hosting
of
the
site
providing
um
expenses
back
through
2021
for
them
to
cover
the
costs.
E
uh
One
quarter
is
543,
which
we
do
have
an
invoice
for
looking
to
extrapolate,
that
out
for
a
whole
year
would
be
that
two
thousand
dollars,
and-
and
after
I
did
see
your
note,
we
would
need
to
get
a
full
invoice
for
that
friends
of
the
riverfront,
um
as
well
as
the
pittsburgh
park.
Conservancy
and
grounded
all
have
invoices
and
I'll
share
out
to
all
the
cpc
members,
their
funding
requests
in
detail,
but
it's
mostly
for
different
supplies
that
they
would
use
or
have
used
over
the
course
of
this
year.
E
G
B
G
G
um
If
really
the
one
thing
I
need
from
everybody
that
submitted
a
request,
I
think
the
only
person
that
I
really
got
a
true
invoice
invoice
for
um
was
um
pennsylvania
conservancy.
If
I
can
have
everybody
else
to
submit
an
invoice,
that's
on.
I
guess
the
same
way
that
they
would
do
any
other
um
company
organization.
That
has
you
know.
That's
actually,
you
know
listed
out
that
has
detailed
information
about.
You
know
what
it's
going
towards
the
final
cost,
um
so
that
the
city
can
actually
submit
that
that
invoice.
G
G
No,
I
was
just
going
to
say
um
with
that
1404,
um
let's
see,
we
still
do
have
a
little
bit
of
of
funding.
That's
left
over
um
for
this
year.
I
think
it's
about
a
little
over
a
thousand
dollars,
I
think,
is
what
it
or
sorry
two
thousand.
I
see
it
here
at
the
bottom,
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars
and
seventy
seven
cents
that
we
need
to
spend
down
um
and
we
need
to
try
to
get
that
spent
down
again
before
the
first
week
of
december,
at
least
get
it
encumbered.
G
um
I
did
get
um
some
the
love,
your
block.
um
You
know
we
could
possibly
potentially
do
the
same
thing
that
we
did
last
year.
There
was
a
couple
of
projects
that
they
were
not
able
to
fund
through
legal
block
that
they
would
have
led
to
a
fund
funded,
um
and
you
know
that
could
be
a
potential
possibility
for
encumbering
some
of
those
funds.
G
And
then
um
there
were
a
couple
of
number
of
projects
that
are
cleanups
that
are
doing
that
have
been
done
in
our
greenways
and
they
um
would
be
happy
to
submit
something
as
well.
If
we,
if
we're
still
searching
for
some
other
opportunities
with
that
funding,
they
do
um
greenway
cleanups.
You
know
throughout
the
throughout
the
year,
um
just
as
volunteers
in
the
community,
and
they
would
love
to
have
some
support
for
those
for
those
cleanups
as
well.
E
Be
great,
and
I
want
to
just
make
a
comment-
I
will
probably
remove
the
pa
resources
council.
I
had
originally
had
that
because
I
wasn't.
I
had
thought
that
we
were
able
to
invoice
for
something
we
would
do
in
the
spring
and
we're
not
able
to
do
that.
So
I'm
gonna
take
that
off,
which
would
actually
then
increase
our
um
total
budget
remaining.
So
if
that
oh
shoot,
I
took
two
things
off.
E
G
A
G
A
G
L
C
C
We'll
close
this
out,
we'll
send
out
those
emails
asking
for
the
votes,
so
we
can
move
on
these
quickly
um
and
the
last
thing.
What
we
have
here
is
member
organization
updates.
uh
We
do
only
have
a
couple
minutes.
I
am
sorry,
but
uh
anybody
wants
to
bring
up
anything,
exciting
fun
or
just
uh
hold
a
stop
for
the
next
meeting.
Please
here's!
Here's
your
chance.
C
R
R
Last
year
we
just
captured
the
highland
park,
um
the
lay
down
area
next
to
the
zoo,
where
people
can
bring
trees
for
uh
mulching
and
also
the
trees
are
collected
as
the
uh
divisions
are
sent,
but
wood
waste
uh
to
turn
to
the
compost.
So
a
lot
of
options
with
recycling
of
christmas
trees.
um
That
programming
uh
starts
on
the
26th
of
december.
It
goes
to
the
25th
of
january.
R
O
O
We
have
some
incentives
coming
up
down
the
line
target
gift
cards
free
passes
to
the
skating
rink
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
some
really
cool
things,
and
if
you
or
a
community
group
or
a
group
all
together
come
together
and
shovel
the
most
snow,
you
might
win
the
golden
shovel.
What
is
the
golden
shovel?
It
asks.
O
Well,
it's
not
actually
made
out
of
gold,
but
it
has
the
feeling
of
gold
and
you
get
a
lord
it
over
everyone
else
and
be
the
top
dog
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
which
I
think
is
pretty
cool.
So
I
wanted
to
take
this
second
as
a
shout
out
for
this
program,
if
you're
already
signed
up.
Thank
you
so
much
and
please
share
with
your
communities.
