A
Hello,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
october
meeting
of
the
gender
equity
commission,
we're
so
glad
you're
joining
us.
If
you're
with
us
online
and
hello
to
all
of
our
wonderful
commissioners
who
are
joining
us,
we
are
once
again
meeting
here
virtually
and
we
do
invite
public
participation
in
these
meetings.
A
You
can
always
submit
questions
ahead
of
time.
We
do
set
aside
time
at
the
beginning
and
the
end
of
all
of
our
commission
meetings
for
public
input,
so
please
feel
free
to
get
in
touch
with
us.
Today's
meeting
is
being
live
streamed
on
the
city
site.
Commissioners,
I
remind
you,
we
are
live
and
we
are
being
recorded
today's
meeting
and,
of
course,
the
recording
of
this
meeting
and
the
meeting
minutes
will
be
available
on
our
website.
A
So
please
do
get
in
touch
with
us
before
we
launch
into
any
business
today
and
before
I
even
take
roll,
we
have
to
hold
some
elections.
We've
got
an
open
seat
on
the
executive
committee
for
our
secretary
role,
and
I
know
our
governance
and
leadership.
Development
committee
has
been
hard
at
work,
twisting
arms
and
finding
us
somebody
who
would
like
to
fill
in
the
secretary
role
for
the
next
couple
of
months,
and
we
need
to
attend
to
that
business
before
we
do
anything
else
so
sabrina
can
I
turn
it
over
to
you.
A
B
Yeah,
so
thank
you
jesse.
I
appreciate
that
I
wanted
to
let
the
commission
know
that
one
of
our
new
commissioners
well,
first,
let
me
back
up.
I
had
not
heard
any.
I
had
requested
that
anyone
who
was
interested
in
filling
the
secretary
position
to
reach
out
to
me
following
our
previous
commission
commissioner
meeting
and
I
had
not
heard
from
anyone-
and
we
did
informally
speak
with
a
few
folks,
and
so
I
did
reach
after
speaking
with
the
executive
committee
in
more
detail.
B
I
did
reach
out
to
one
of
our
new
commissioners,
commissioner
hall
and
spoke
with
her
about
the
position
of
filling
the
interim
secretary
role,
which
is
for
the
remainder
of
october
november
and
december,
and
we
will
talk
later
about
how
other
positions
will
be
opening
up
after
that,
but
with
great
kindness
and
generosity,
allison
has
agreed
to
fill
the
temporary
position.
B
If
the
commission
supports
that
which
I
hope
that
we
all
do,
and
I
would
highly
recommend
that
we
do
and
then
in
order
to
help
her
transition.
She-
and
I
will
both
be
taking
notes
during
the
meeting
today
and
comparing
those
to
make
sure
that
she
feels
comfortable
going
forward
with
how
that
feels
for
the
minutes,
so
just
to
notify
anybody.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
I
have
to
do
a
motion
for
that
jesse.
I
believe
I
would
present
that
in
the
form
of
emotion.
B
I
think
that's
right,
okay,
so
as
the
chair
of
the
governance
and
leadership
committee,
which,
from
time
to
time,
handles
the
nominating
nomination
of
folks
from
our
commission
to
fill
positions,
I
would
like
to
put
forth
to
the
commission
commissioner
allison
hall
as
the
individual.
That
would
fill
the
opening
for
secretary
on
an
interim
basis
for
the
months
of
october
november
and
december,
and
I
would
ask
for
a
second.
D
A
Okay,
lee
has
seconded
that
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
for
working
on
this
allison.
Thank
you
for
agreeing
to
put
your
name
forward,
we'll
we'll
do
this
by
simple
vote
rather
than
secret
ballot,
since
this
is
a
motion
and
obviously,
when
we
hold
our
regular
elections
and
have
a
sleep
we'll
we'll
do
handle
that
via
sealed
ballot.
A
So
we've
got
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
take
up
our
interim
secretary
again.
Thank
you
so
much
allison
for
being
willing
all
in
favor.
D
E
A
Aye
any
opposed
any
abstained.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Allison.
Thank
you
for
is
abstaining
on
her
own
vote.
The
motion
carries.
We
have
a
new
secretary
interim
secretary
allison
again,
thank
you
so
much
and
welcome.
We
really
appreciate
you.
Stepping
in
marina's
gonna
hold
my
hand.
B
It's
a
partnership,
we're
doing
as
a
partnership
and
we're
very
lucky
that
allison
is
willing
to
sort
of
take
the
sleep
and
and
figure
out
whether
she
likes
doing
this.
So
thank
you.
A
A
Okay,
now
we
will
sort
of
gather
in
and
get
started.
Let's
do
our
make
sure
we
know
who's
here.
This
helps
when
you
all
are
writing
up
your
minutes
as
well.
So
let's
just
take
roll
here
quickly,
commissioner
coffey
is
not
with
us
today,
commissioner
fogerty
is
here,
commissioner
gross.
A
I
don't
see,
commissioner
hall
is
with
us,
commissioner
hanson
here,
commissioner
higginbotham,
I
don't
see
her
yet
commissioner
corbel
with
us,
commissioner
manuel
I'm
just
making
sure
nobody
else
has
popped
in
commissioner
knee
trauer
there.
You
are
commissioner
overton
schultz.
A
A
Do
we
have
any
public
testimony
anew
that
we
ought
to
be
reading
here
at
the
top
of
the
meeting?
No,
nothing.
A
Okay,
thanks
for
letting
us
know,
we
have
no
finalized
minutes
from
september,
so
we're
going
to
need
to
look
at
the
september
minutes
and
the
october
minutes
together
in
november
that
part
of
our
transition
to
new
leadership,
so
allison
will
work
with
you
and
make
sure
that
we
get
the
we've
got
some
draft
minutes,
but
they
were
not
finalized
in
the
leadership
transition,
and
I
I
don't
want
to
present
to
you
a
draft
version
of
minutes.
We
should
be
voting
on
finalized
minutes,
so
we'll
have
to
approve
those.
A
It
looks
like
we
actually
don't
have
quorum
right
now,
so
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
approve
those
anyway,
so
we
will
do
minutes
both
minutes
next
month.
We
have
some
guests
joining
us
today
and
I'm
very
excited
because
I
actually
see
our
mayor
is
with
us
mayor.
Peduto.
Welcome.
Welcome
we're
so
glad
to
have
you
with
us,
and
the
floor
is
yours,
sir.
H
Thank
you,
jesse,
and
thanks
to
the
commissioners
that
are
with
us
today.
I
just
wanted
to
pop
in
to
say
hello,
just
to
be
able
to
answer
some
questions
and
just
to
you
know,
let
you
know
what
else
is
happening
within
the
city
and
how
your
work
is
critically
important.
H
H
You
may
have
read
yesterday
the
report
from
the
task
force
on
police
reform.
They
took
a
broad
approach
to
looking
at
the
pittsburgh
bureau
of
police
one
of
the
findings
that
was
absolutely
critical.
Is
we
really
don't
have
the
access
to
data
to
be
able
to
make
informed
decision
making
that
it
lacks
real-time
ability
and
that
it
isn't
done
in
such
a
way
that
really
recognizes?
H
Where
disparity
exists
in
how
we
enforce
the
law?
So
there's
going
to
be
some
background.
Work,
that's
beginning
right
now
in
order
to
be
able
to
bring
about
the
other
changes
that
the
reports
call
for.
At
that
same
time,
we've
been
experimenting
with
about
a
dozen
other
cities
in
a
guaranteed
basic
income
program
and
we'll
be
announcing
the
details
of
that.
But
I
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
we're
using
your
report
from
last
year
as
the
baseline.
H
Basically,
these
women
will
be
given
a
debit
card
every
month
with
five
hundred
dollars
added
to
it,
and
we
will
be
working
with
the
university
of
tennessee
and
university
of
pennsylvania
together
with
cities
as
big
as
los
angeles
and
as
small
as
union.
New
york
to
see
how
that
will
affect
change
when
people
have
the
ability
to
have
direct
cash
in
not
a
specific
program.
H
Our
goal
is
very
simple.
If
we
can
show
that
it
works
across
this
country,
then
we
have
a
better
case
of
looking
at
universal
basic
income
across
this
nation
on
a
federal
standard
and
then,
finally,
your
report
itself,
I
mean
it
has
become
the
position
and
the
the
platform
of
much
of
the
discussion
around
inequity
in
the
city
and,
more
importantly,
around
race.
H
It
has
been
the
basic
report
that
has
been
able
to
clearly
define
where
the
disparity
exists
and
to
what
degree,
and
now
it's
time
to
work
with
you
on
the
next
phases
of
it,
identifying
the
key
issues
identifying
the
key
programs
and
policies
that
are
needed
to
change
in
order
to
get
there
and
then
allowing
city
government
to
find
the
critical
partners
to
be
able
to
finance
it
and
to
provide
the
background
services
that
may
be
required
as
well.
That
may
fall
out
of
the
expertise
of
local
government.
H
Like
I
said
when
I
started
this
this
conversation,
there
has
never
been
a
better
time.
The
door
is
wide
open.
I
just
had
a
30
minute
conversation
with
the
president
of
huntington
bank
today
and
she
is
on
board
with
trying
to
work
with
us
and
to
support
our
avenues
of
hope
program
that
will
invest
in
minority
and
women-owned
businesses
in
seven
neighborhoods
that
need
it
the
most
and
we'll
be
looking
in
those
neighborhoods
to
find
entrepreneurs.
H
H
Whenever
we're
able
to
be
successful,
we
now
have
the
critical
partners
in
order
to
be
able
to
have
some
success.
So
what
I
would
ask
of,
you
is
continue
in
the
work
that
you
have
begun
utilize
the
report
that
you've
provided
pittsburgh
as
a
a
guideline
of
where
we
need
to
be
doing
better
and
offering
your
professionalism
and
expertise
in
coming
up
with
the
ideas
of
programs
and
projects
around
it
to
address
through
a
timeline
the
areas
of
the
greatest
disparity.
H
A
Thank
you,
mayor
boys.
It
is
exciting
to
hear
about
the
universal
basic
income
project
as
well.
Are
you
able
to
stay
with
us
for
a
couple
minutes
and
maybe
take
some
questions?
If
folks
have
some.
H
Yeah,
just
let
me
start
with
that
one
though
this
was
a
program,
my
friend
who
the
is
the
mayor
of
stockton,
california,
mayor
tubbs,
started,
and
he
began
it
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
they
created
it.
Everyone
said
this
is
a
waste.
H
H
The
money
was
used
in
ways
that
actually
had
a
direct
effect
on
changing
people's
lives
and
they've
been
able
to
show
it
because
of
the
research
that
had
been
done
with
those
two
universities,
and
then
they
offered
us
the
opportunity
to
join
with
them.
You
know
now
the
one
criticism
I'm
getting
is:
why
are
you
using
taxpayers
money
in
this
way?
I
can't
use
taxpayers
money.
I
can't
I
can't
take
tax
money
and
then
give
it
to
people,
it's
not
legal.
So
all
the
money
that
we're
looking
to
invest.
H
A
I
I
I
You
know
at
this
time,
because
we
can
continue
to
support
and
continue
to
research
and
continue
to
go
out
there
and
bring
new
ideas
and
and
and
advocate,
but
is
there
a
particular
or
are
there
particular
areas
or
things
that
your
administration
is
doing
right
now
or
in
the
immediate
future
that
we
could
best?
You
feel
we
could
best
support
you
on
right
now.
H
Yep
there
is-
and
it
goes
back
to
that
saying
you
have
to
strike
when
the
iron
is
hot
right
now
it
is
based
upon
all
of
the
ideas
of
black
lives
matter.
It
is
the
understanding
that
the
narrative
about
police
brutality
is
is
part
of
it,
but
it's
a
small
part.
If
we
you
go
into
any
of
the
predominantly
black
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Right
now-
and
you
say
what
is
the
priority?
H
People
are
going
to
say
jobs
when
we
need
good
paying
jobs,
not
entry-level
service
industry
jobs,
and
we
need
to
have
our
young
men
trained
into
positions
that
are
careers.
H
We
need
to
have
police
not
beating
up
our
grandchildren,
but
we
want
to
have
police
in
our
neighborhoods
and
we
want
to
see
them
the
same
as
people
in
shadyside
and
squirrel
hill
see
them
and
not
just
reporting
for
for
crimes.
H
There
is
a
very
broad
narrative
and
it
is
all
based
around
real
disparity,
where
there
is
a
difference
between
the
life
of
somebody
who
is
black
in
pittsburgh
and
somebody
who's
white
in
pittsburgh,
and
so
any
of
the
issues
that
you
can
draw
that
show
where
the
disparity
exists
with
women,
and
then
it
is
expounded
by
race
right
now.
That's
where
our
priority
will
be,
and
if
you
can
come
up
with
ideas
of
how
we
can
lessen
it,
create
pilot
programs.
H
Upmc
allegheny
health
network,
pitt,
carnegie,
mellon
and
asked
for
them
to
partner
and
right
now,
people
are
saying
yes
like
they
never
have
before.
So
I
would
say,
take
the
the
mission
of
this
commission,
which
is
finding
and
recognizing
where
there
is
disparity
based
upon
gender
and
expanded
at
this
moment,
to
find
out
where
it's
exponential
upon
race
concentrate
on
black
women
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
as
john
f
kennedy
said,
a
rising
tide
raises
all
boats.
I
I
I
have
one
quick
follow-up,
sorry,
so
I
I
I
do.
I
want
to
ask
this
and
also
kind
of
put
this
out
there
too.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
helping
and
supporting
individuals
to
to
thrive
and
on
the
flip
side,
the
people
in
power
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we
I
want
to.
I
want
to
put
this
out
there,
both
as
an
ask
and
as
a
consideration
should
we
also
think
about
putting
forth
ideas
and
opportunities
for
the
people
in
power
to
change
the
way
that
they
do
things.
I
So
what's
it
both
and
you
know
so,
it's
identifying
these
are
the
needs,
and
these
are
what
we
need:
the
the
systems
and
and
the
power
holders
to
change
in
order
for
us
to
both
support
the
people
who
and
given
them
the
resources,
but
also
make
systemic
change.
D
H
And
I
I
would
look
at
it
as
by
institution.
Those
in
power
and
government
need
to
do
x,
y
and
z.
Those
in
power
of
corporate
need
to
do
those
in
power
of
non-profit
organizations
need
to
be
able,
and
and
basically
instead
of
presenting
it.
Just
as
you
know,
one
organization
thinking
a
little
bit
more
strategically
at
what
each
type
of
institution
needs
to
do.
H
So
if
we
want
to
promote
women,
entrepreneurs
in
underserved,
neighborhoods
and
you're,
concentrating
on
early
childhood
education
in
how
a
daycare
center
can
become
a
pre-k
learning
center
and
what's
needed
in
order
to
do
that
to
meet
state
code
where
you
have
to
have
a
double
metal
sink
and
a
fence
around
the
yard,
and
all
these
things
that
keep
some
of
those
daycare
centers
from
actually
becoming
early
education.
Centers.
H
That
will
be
looked
at
with
a
lot
more
interest
than
just
women
entrepreneurs,
not
that
women
entrepreneurs
won't
be
looked
at,
but
if
you
can
make
it
so
that
one
dollar
is
actually
solving
three
problems.
We're
very
interested.
A
J
Yeah
amanda
and
I
were
on
the
same
wavelength.
So
thank
you
mayor
for
clarifying
that.
I
just
wanted
to
know.
You
know
what
were
the
feasible
directions
and
if
you
could
be,
you
know
I
dream
of
genie
and
just
snap,
your
fingers
really
quick,
and
you
believe
that
the
commission
has,
you,
know
the
authority
and
jurisdiction
to
be
able
to
do
some
of
the
things
that
you
mentioned.
What
would
it
be,
but
you
already
kind
of
mentioned
it.
So
thank
you.
H
Yeah,
I
would
say
it's
it's
on
two
levels
I
mean
the
first
is
there
are
those
that
are
caught
in
the
continuing
cycle
of
poverty
and
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
break
that
cycle
so
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to
give
their
children,
maybe
something
that
they
were
not
given,
and
then
the
the
second
one
would
be
on
the
stuff,
the
talking
with
amanda,
on
where
there
are
not
opportunities
to
women
in
the
city
that
would
be
made
available
to
a
man
or
is
more
readily
available
if
you're
white
and
just
trying
to
up
equalize
the
field
when
it
comes
to
economic
opportunity-
and
you
know
I
I
would
listen
to
any
of
the
issues
that
you
guys
have
brought
up.
H
Will
you
have
made
it
a
priority
in
the
report
where
health
care
and
access
to
equal
health
care
is
a
priority
that
we're
failing
in
this
city?
From
the
report,
I've
met
with
rk,
melon
and
mercy,
but
not
mercy.
I'm
sorry
mcgee
women's
hospital
in
order
to
be
able
to
create
a
program,
at
least
through
pregnancy
and
childbirth,
to
lessen
our
numbers
and
rk.
Melon
is
now
funding
that,
so
I
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
say
to
you.
I
get
beat
up
by
that
report.
H
Like
yeah,
I
had
a
press
conference
to
say
it's
real,
that
you
cannot
say
that
racism
doesn't
exist,
it's
it
can
be
quantified.
These
are
numbers
that
show
it,
but
at
that
same
time
it's
a
useful
document
in
helping
to
get
others
on
board
to
address
these
issues,
so
I
would
ask
you
know
going
back
through
it,
creating
timelines,
creating
benchmarks,
looking
where
your
priorities
are,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
with
it.
H
H
I
think
dan's
joining
too
so
I
think
he'll
be
able
to
hang
on
for
a
little
bit
longer
before
I
get
on
my
next
one.
H
Yep,
well,
you
get
the
real
information
with
him
plus
the
real
time
information,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
stop
on
and
say.
Thank
you.
I
I
really
didn't
want
to
do
a
lecture
today.
I
I
just
you,
you
basically
were
all
given
a
blank
slate
and
said
here.
Here's
a
new
commission
do
something
you
did
it.
H
So
now
we
have
to
start
going
back
and
getting
that
data
starting
yesterday,
so
utilize
it
use
it
as
the
way
of
showing
this
is
where
we
need
to
move
with
housing.
This
is
where
we
need
to
move
with
health
care.
This
is
where
we
have
to
move
with
education
and
then
start
creating
the
benchmarks
to
hold
ourselves
all
accountable
to
doing
it.
H
That
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
hand
it
off
to
dan
and
just
to
talk
about
any
of
the
other
initiatives
dan.
I
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
guaranteed
basic
income
and
the
avenues
of
hope,
but
I
thought
you
could
talk
about
some
of
the
other
parallel
initiatives
that
this
commission
will
be
asked
to
work
on.
A
K
If
you're
willing
I'd
love
to
expand
on
just
some
of
the
other
things
going
on,
but
some
updates
and
kind
of
focus
just
to
you
know,
I
heard
the
questions
from
amanda
and
from
morgan
too,
so
that
you
can
listen
to
where
we're
currently
focusing
a
lot
of
time,
effort
and
money,
you
know
and
then
put
the
gender
in
the
equity
lens
to
magnify
it.
So
we
generally
been
talking
about
our
you
know,
response
to
this
unique
moment
and
I
think
the
mayor
opened
with
that.
K
I
mean
to
have
this
type
of
the
global
pandemic,
the
complete
economic
collapse
in
the
next
phase
of
the
american
civil
rights
movement
hit
within
three
months.
You
know
you
couldn't
write
a
book
if
you
tried
to
without
seeming
like
science
fiction,
but
it's
what's
before
us
and
you
know,
with
every
great
crisis,
comes
great
opportunity
and
we
do
have
a
unique
opportunity,
as
the
mayor
said,
from
public
support
to
financial
support
from
others.
K
When
you
have
banks
announcing
multi-billion
dollar
commitments
to
equity
and
things
of
that
nature,
there
is
an
opportunity,
so
we
we've
really
kind
of
focused
in
five
general
themes
from
economic
development
ura
standpoint
the
mayor
talked
about
gbi
and
avenues
of
hope,
so
I
won't
touch
on
those.
The
third
is
parks,
equity.
We're
going
to
be
doubling
down
our
effort,
both
between
kovid
has
shown.
The
importance
of
the
parks,
environmental,
health
and
inequitable
environmental
health
in
the
city
has
shown
the
importance
of
parks.
K
Childhood
obesity
has
shown
the
importance
of
parks
and
there's
a
significant
racial
equity
component
and
childhood
obesity
numbers
to
underlying
pre-existing
health
conditions.
Numerous
reasons
we
need
to
to
double
down
our
efforts
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
that
incredibly
proud
of
the
work
we've
done
this
year.
The
study
now
a
year
and
a
half
ago
by
the
parks
conservancy
on
equity
and
parks
drove
the
worst
park
from
or
the
park
in,
the
need
of
most
investment.
I
should
say
that
way
was
baxter
playground
and
homewood.
K
We
just
cut
the
ribbon
last
week
on
a
brand
new
baxter
playground.
We've
tackled
work
in
the
hill
district.
K
Just
won
a
grant
for
fowler,
which
is
in
kind
of
the
perry
south
manchester
right
by
pittsburgh,
project
quadrant
of
the
north
side,
money
in
the
budget
for
sheridan
and
canard
next
year,
13
million
dollars
committed
to
the
new
homewood
park
it'll
be
the
most
significant
investment
in
a
park
in
at
least
the
last.
You
know,
100
years
or
so
of
the
city
which
will
transform
the
the
border
of
homewood
to
the
busway
and
point
breeze
and
we're
looking
to
increase
significant
funding
there.
K
Both
there
is
the
tax
initiative
that
was
passed,
but
also
from
corporate
and
foundation
partners.
On
that
the
fourth
one
I'll
talk
about
is
very
bureaucrat
and
technocrat,
but
really
important,
and
that
is
a
cdfi
that
the
ura
is
creating
called
invest.
Pgh.
Some
of
you
may
have
seen
that
pnc
committed
10
million
dollars
to
help
us
launch
our
new
cdfi.
This
is
the
anchor
of
how
we
invest
in
affordable
housing.
K
It's
also
the
combination
with
avenues
of
hope
of
the
anchor
of
how
we
invest
in
catapult,
which
is
our
mwbe
business
incubator
for
minority
women,
partnering
with
circles
and
tammy
thompson
on
that
penn
avenue
is
the
first
location
we
hope
to
be
quote-unquote
breaking
ground,
it's
an
existing
building,
but
on
our
second
location,
which
will
be
on
center
avenue
in
the
hill
district
and
with
the
funding
from
pnc
bank,
as
well
as
what
the
mayor's
put
in
the
budget,
we
now
are
able
to
really
expand,
looking
at
the
hilltop
for
our
third
location
and
more
and
we're
just
about
to
announce
the
next
class
of
women
going
into
the
penn
avenue
catapult.
K
There's
a
great
story
I
read
recently
by
I
want
to
say
it's
the
brooklyn
borough
president.
I
may
have
my
wrong
borough,
who
is
african-american
male
1,
timeout
running
for
mayor
of
new
york,
who
had
35
40
years
on
the
job
of
nypd,
and
he
had
a
great
thing
on
cnn
about
how?
Basically,
you
would
never
ask
the
same
doctor
to
be
an
orthopedic
surgeon,
a
brain
surgeon
and
a
great
pediatrician,
and
that's
exactly
what
we
ask
of
police
officers.
K
How
you
expect
someone
to
you
know,
be
the
responder
to
an
active
shooter
and
be
an
expert
on
traffic
control
and
be
an
expert
in
domestic
violence
and
also
know
how
to
respond
to
a
protest
and-
and
it
is
crazy
and
we
have
continued
to
throw
things
on
police
as
a
society
and
as
a
you
know,
as
we've
cut
funding
for
mental
health
and
as
we've
cut
funding
for
affordable
housing
as
we've
cut
funding
for
addiction
as
we've
closed
public
facilities
for
those
homelessness.
K
And
even
you
know,
as
the
city
we're
guilty
of
it,
we
don't
pay
building
inspectors
and
things
like
that
at
night.
So
if
dr
ramy
is
continually
annoyed
in
calling
councilman
gilman
saying
that
the
dumpster
at
the
apartment
building
across
the
street
is
being
emptied
at
4
a.m,
which,
by
the
way,
is
a
very
common
complaint
in
this
city,
our
answer
to
you
is
call
9-1-1.
K
That's
what
we
do,
who
else
works
at
4
a.m?
To
do
that?
If
you
leave
for
work
at
3
30
for
your
nursing
shift
and
a
car
is
blocking
your
driveway,
you
call
9-1-1.
If
you
are
a
shop
owner
and
a
homeless
person
is
sleeping
out
front
of
your
store
and
you
need
help
getting
them
to
move.
So
you
can
open.
You
call
9-1-1.
K
That
is
a
failure
on
us
as
a
society
and
as
a
government,
and
so
we
really
are
going
to
dig
in
with
this
new
office.
Community
health
and
safety,
which
is
includes
lead,
which
is
our
pre-arrest
diversion
program
that
we're
piloting
right
now
on
the
north
side
and
we'll
be
expanding
city-wide.
It's
our
partnership
with
ahn
to
have
kind
of
a
co-responder
model
similar
to
cahoots,
not
exactly
the
cahoots
model,
but
for
people.
K
Who've,
looked
at
that
in
hn
and
that's
piloting
zones,
one
two
and
five
right
now
and
the
mayor's
donating
old
ambulances
to
them
and
gonna
have
actual
age
and
mental
health
professionals
responding
and
being
part
of
our
street
outreach
teams
doing
work.
Some
really
amazing
work
by
laura
jagowski
on
drug
overdose
and
work
within
heroin
in
data
tracking
and
leave
behind
for
naloxone.
K
Next
wanted
to
just
give
an
update
on
a
few
things
that
are
happening
now.
Today,
city
council
passed
the
mayor's
bill.
The
crown
act
passed
unanimously
in
front
of
city
council
today
on
the
mayor's
introduction,
so
happy
and
appreciate
council
support,
and
we
now
have
that
signed
into
law,
actually
signed
it
into
law.
K
Technically
a
couple
minutes
ago,
jordan,
who
I
think
is
on
the
call,
has
been
doing
incredible
work
with
hirsch
on
going
through
the
city
code,
there's
about
a
90-page
bill,
she's
written
with
hersh
on
gendered
language
within
city
code,
which
we'll
be
introducing
soon,
which
is
important
and
a
huge
undertaking.
One
of
those
things
everyone's
talked
about,
but
no
one's
found
the
time
to
do
so.
I
appreciate
jordan
and
the
new
and
hirsch
tackling
that
effort.
K
We
are
in
the
middle
of
looking
at
some
expansions
on
paid
sick
leave
that
one,
as
you
all
know,
and
dr
raymond
now
I've
talked
about
is
certainly
very-
has
to
be
done
very
very
carefully,
so
to
not
provide
any
opportunity
to
try
to
reopen
the
supreme
court
case
with
the
the
opponent.
K
I
will
just
add
a
note
by
the
way
for
anyone
who
doesn't
know
the
judge
who
struck
down
governor
wolf's
orders
on
covid
gatherings,
he's
a
federal
judge
now
when
he
was
a
private
attorney,
he's
the
one
who
sued
the
city
on
paid
sick
leave.
So
he's
been
a
clear
champion
on
public
health
and
safety
from
the
start.
But
we
are.
K
We
are
looking
at
some
expansion
related
to
kovid,
with
the
paid
sick
leave
working
closely
with
some
outside
partners
on
that
doing,
work
on
bathrooms
in
city
facilities,
starting
to
build
out
soon
construction
on
the
new
first
floor
of
the
city
county
bathroom,
which
has
important
gender-neutral
facilities
in
it
as
well
continuing
to
expand
the
dolly
parton
project.
Our
book
initiative
for
kids,
zero
to
five
has
been
unbelievably
successful,
as
well
as
our
food
initiative
in
city
parks.
K
We
have
served
over
250,
000,
free
meals
since
march
17th
from
the
city
to
seniors
and
children
in
need
with
food
insecurity,
which
is
really
incredible,
and
that's
not
the
city's
job.
We
don't
do
food
service,
we
aren't
trained
in
that,
and
the
fact
that
our
city
parks
team
picked
it
up
and
figured
it
out.
It's
really
a
remarkable
accomplishment
and
we
are
incredibly
proud
of
that
work.
K
We
did
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
direct
assistance
to
undocumented
residents,
in
partnership
with
casa,
san
jose
and
others,
as
well
as
the
open
society
foundation,
the
latino
community
center
and
a
few
others
when
the
feds
cut
them
out.
We
stepped
in
with
half
a
million
dollars.
We
would
like
to
figure
out
how
to
expand
that
program
and
lindsey
powell
is
heading
up
that
attempt
right
now
and
we're
putting
the
final
touches
on
appointing
the
lgbtqia
plus
commission.
K
We've
put
it
into
code.
We
have
the
open
call
for
nominees
and
we
are
just
finalizing
some
decisions
on
appointments
to
that
to
get
that
into
code
as
well,
and
I
will
stop
there.
I
could
go
on
because
we
have
an
absolutely
amazing
team
of
people
who
have
done
incredible
work.
You
know
anew
and
jordan
can
tell
you
when
we
do.
Our
mayor's
office
calls
it's
really
inspiring,
as
we
go
around
the
quote-unquote
room
and
listen
to
each
person.
Talk
about
what
they're
doing.
K
I
would
put
our
record
up
against
any
city
in
america
in
what
we
have
done
since
kovitz
started
in
service
to
the
public,
but
at
the
same
time
as
we
know,
we
have
so
much
work
to
do
and
we
look
to
you
for
the
assistance,
the
guidance,
the
direction
of
where
an
equity
lends
both
gender
and,
of
course,
magnified
by
gender
and
race,
comes
into
play.
K
When
we
have
these
conversations,
we
know
you
have
to
look
in
the
mirror
before
you
look
at
other
people,
but
reality
is
human
nature
is
sometimes
it
takes
on
putting
the
mirror
in
front
of
your
face
too.
That's
just
natural
human
process
and
so
having
people
like
the
gender
equity
commission
or
the
lgbtqia,
plus
commission
or
eorc
and
others
sometimes
hold
that
mirror
up
and
say,
hey,
don't
forget
to
look
over
here
is
really
really
important
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
that
was
the
gender
equity
report.
K
Nobody
thought
there
wasn't
gender
bias
in
pittsburgh.
Nobody
thought
there
wasn't
racism,
nobody
thought
there
wasn't
direct
impact
from
it,
but
this
was
a
big
old
mirror
put
in
front
of
everyone's
face.
Saying
look
at
this.
First,
every
day,
and
so
that's
really
guiding
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
right
now,.
A
Thank
you
so
much
chief,
you
know
so
much
of
what
you
just
described
also
aligns
with
all
of
the
recommendations
in
our
policy
recommendations,
piece
that
we
released
in
june.
So
we
really
appreciate
hearing
all
of
these
efforts
that
are
happening
within
the
city.
A
I
know
that
we
are
running
a
little
bit
behind
schedule,
but
we've
got
a
chief
with
us,
so
I
want
to
give
commissioners
an
opportunity
to
ask
any
questions
you
might
have.
We've
also
got
a
couple
of
folks
from
the
coral
program
with
us
who
are.
I
see
you
both
waiting
to
present
to
us,
and
I
know
we
have
lots
of
business
as
well,
but
are
there
questions
from
commissioners
things
you'd
like
to
to
ask
chief
gilman
right
now
I
see
allison.
L
Hello,
chief
gilman,
just
kind
of
to
follow
back
on
something
that
the
mayor
brought
up
when
in
the
report
about
the
health
disparities.
Given
that
there
are,
you
know
two
major
hospital
systems
here,
curious
to
know.
You
know
what
I
mean.
You
know
the
government
can
obviously
get
involved,
but
I
guess
I
look
at
you
know:
what
are
they
doing
to
really
embrace
this
issue?
I
mean
because
it's
really
kind
of
you
know
theirs.
I
don't
want
to
say
theirs
to
fix,
but
yet
it
should
be
a
priority
for
them.
L
So
I'm
just
I'm
just
curious
as
to
you
know
how
they
reacted
and
what
have
they?
If
anything,
have
they
done
to
date?.
K
It's
a
it's
a
very
good
question,
as
the
mayor
said,
I
think
the
most
obvious
one
is
the
work
mcgee
is
doing
with
stanford
university
and
with
rk
mellon
around
infant
mortality
numbers
that
is
the
most
in
the
mcgee
women's
research
foundation
is
an
incredible
partner
and
kind
of
very
separate
from
the
politics
of
upmc
and
hn
and
highmark.
They
really
operate
pretty
freely
from
that
and
have
been
doing
pretty
remarkable
research
partnering
somewhat
with
us,
but
more
with
the
foundations
upmc.
K
Also
we
are
I'm
hoping
close
to
an
a
pretty
substantial
and
massive
announcement
of
some
commitments.
Upmc
wants
to
make
without
saying
too
much
really
focused
around
affordable
housing
and
looking
at
housing
as
a
social
determinant
of
health.
I
think
there's
also
a
financial
benefit
to
upmc
with
some.
You
know
some
of
these
things
and
it
reducing
emergency
room
visits
and
other.
K
There
are
some
bottom
lines,
but
I'll
take
I'll
help
their
bottom
line
if
it
helps
the
community,
so
upmc's
focus
has
really
been
heavily
on
the
social
determinants
of
public
health
through
housing
and
a
little
bit
food
access
in
food
equity,
but
mostly
housing.
I
don't
want
to
say
ahn
has
not.
I
don't
think
that
would
be
fair,
but
I
can't
say
that
we
have
been
as
directly
engaged
with
their
response
to
it.
I
So
I
I
have
a
so
I
guess
this
is
this.
Is
it's
one
question
the
two-parter?
You
know.
I
can
never
just
ask
a
simple
question.
Sorry
about
that,
so
this
actually
has
to
do
with
a
lot
of
the
investment
going
into
areas
that
are
under
have
been
historically
underserved
that
are
generally
have
concentrated
areas
of
black
pittsburghers,
etc.
I
really
do
appreciate
all
the
investment
that's
going
in
there,
and
so
my
two-part
question
to
you
is
what,
if
anything,
has
the
administration,
ura
leadership,
etc?
I
Doing
to
ensure
that
these
areas,
when,
while
they're
being
invested
in
that
there's
long-term
thought
given
to
allowing
the
people
who
are
there
now
to
enjoy
the
upgrades
and
aren't
pushed
out?
And
then
the
second
part
of
that
is.
I
do
appreciate
that
organizations
black-led
black
women-led
organizations
are
being
invested
in
because
of
their
work
in
the
areas
and-
and
I
appreciate
that
their
leadership
is
being
recognized.
I
My
question
is,
since
their
services
and
and
and
programs
are
being
used
at
this
moment,
what
are
if,
if
there
are
any
plans
to
ensure
that
it's
not
a
situation
where
they're
used
for
their
services
and
then
forgotten
about
later,
are
there
any
long-term
plans
to
see
how
the
good
work
that
they're
doing
can
be
further
supported
and
sustained
since
they're
being
utilized
now
so
that's
kind
of
my
related
two-parter.
K
Yeah,
let
me
start
with
the
first
one,
because
it's
the
easier
one
in
that
I
think
they're
they're
a
really
good
answer
to
what
we
are
doing.
I
mean
probably
a
couple
points:
number
one
is
the
solution
to
that
is
leading
with
housing.
K
First
and
housing
has
multi-prongs
affordability,
home
ownership,
existing
homeowner
assistance
programs,
those
are
the
key
assets,
so,
as
you
see,
investment
in
you
know
homewood
or
on
larimer
avenue
or
actually
the
best
example
would
be
hazelwood
where
there's
been
substantial
work
to
help
existing
homeowners
stay
in
their
homes
in
hazelwood,
because
speculators
walk
around
the
neighborhood
knocking
on
the
door,
seeing
what's
happening
at
hazelwood,
green
and
thinking.
The
cash
is
coming
one
day,
so
helping
people
stay
in
their
homes.
K
Now,
there's
been
real
dollars
from
the
ura
and
also
the
foundation
partners
in
getting
some
affordable
housing
through
hazelwood
initiative
locked
in
not
to
mention
our
nine
percent
tax
credit
for
gladstone
school
and
our
rfp
on
with
action
housing
on
irvine
street.
So
if
you
lead
with
housing
and
you
create
that
housing
stability,
we
think
that
will
allow
people
to
stay
and
not
only
stay
but
also
build,
build
multi-generational
wealth
from
having
the
asset
of
home
ownership
in
a
community.
K
One
of
the
greatest
gentrifying
factors
in
pittsburgh
has
actually
not
been
rental
markets,
not
that
that
doesn't
exist,
but
it
has
been
homeowners
who
have
owned
homes,
often
for
many
years,
sometimes
multi-generation
and
someone
knocks
on
their
door
and
says
I'll,
give
you
150
300,
whatever
thousand,
if
you're
out
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
when
you
paid
13
000
for
that
home
in
1956,
you'll.
K
Take
that
180
and
walk
tomorrow
and
we're
forcing
people
out
of
their
homes
with
that
even
more
than
just
the
rental
market
cost
and
you've
seen
that
a
lot,
particularly
in
lawrenceville
in
bloomfield
and
kind
of
area,
around
children's
hospital
more
than
anywhere
so
helping
people
do.
That
is
really
important.
The
second
is,
the
ability
to
age
in
place
is
also
very
important,
and
we
don't
have
that
so.
Investment
in
senior
housing,
accessibility
improvements
is
an
important
part
of
that
as
well.
K
You
see
a
lot
of
seniors
retire
to
the
suburbs,
because
that's
where
facilities
and
housing
and
one-story
homes
and
homes
with
first-floor
bathrooms
and
all
kinds
of
other
factors
exist
even
more
in
the
city,
so
that
that's
been
a
focus,
that's
important
to
it.
At
the
same
time,
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
recognize
in
a
lot
of
our
neighborhoods
that
haven't
seen
investment.
K
What
we've
had
substantially
in
this
city
is
black
flight
to
the
suburbs
because
of
the
lack
of
third
places,
whether
that's
schools
obviously
has
to
be
talked
about
there,
but
also
libraries
parks,
community,
centers
churches.
K
You
know
whatever
the
the
assets
and
third
places
are
so
in
terms
of
allowing
people
to
live
in
the
community
that
they
are
in
now
and
not
being
forced
out
by
investment
and
growth
is
providing
third
places
in
the
support
services
that
families
need
and
want
in
their
own
neighborhood.
K
There
is
certainly
some
you
hope,
sustainable
business
practice,
building
coming
through
this,
whether
it's
we're
working
on
a
new
partnership
where
some
large
construction
firms
will
form
jv's
with
minority
firms
and
the
minority
firm
will
take
51
percent,
though
the
the
white
firm
will
have
more
money
in
its
capacity
building
to
build
skill
sets
and
growth
to
allow
them
to
gc
larger
government
projects.
K
So
that
should
help,
I
think,
on
some
of
the
minority
contracting,
but
again,
probably
a
huge
gender
disparity
when
it
comes
to
contractors
who
would
participate
in
the
program.
K
We
have
some
work
coming
to
support
some
small
woman-led
firms
in
the
architecture
sphere
that
we're
trying
to
work
on,
particularly
in
the
hill
district,
so
I
can
think
of
one-offs,
but
in
terms
of
really
a
systemic,
thoughtful
approach
to
the
long-term
sustainability.
K
A
I
hate
to
wrap
up
a
conversation
when
we've
got
both
the
mayor
and
the
chief
with
us,
but
I
am
paying
attention
to
the
time
and
we
have
four
committees
that
have
to
report
and
our
koro
fellows
with
us.
So,
with
your
permission,
chief,
I'm
going
to
move
the
meeting
on.
Please.
K
A
Appreciate
having
you
yeah,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
super
appreciate
that
and
of
course,
if
commissioners
have
follow-up
questions,
I'm
sure
we
could
route
those
through
a
new
and
we
can
have
some
more
conversation
or
discussion
as
needed.
A
If
you
are
a
committee
chair
pay
attention
the
time
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
suck
up
all
of
our
our
time
frames.
I
do
I
thank
you
for
your
patience.
Let
me
put
it
that
way.
Big!
Thank
you
to
everybody
for
your
flexibility.
Today.
We've
got
two
folks
with
us
from
the
choral
program,
I'm
so
delighted
to
have
you
with
us.
This
is
probably
shortening
your
time
with
us
as
well,
but
thank
you
again
for
being
here
and
commissioner
williams.
Do
you
are
you
going
to
make
some
introductions?
E
Yes,
yes,
yes,
I
would-
and
I'm
going
to
be
very
short,
because
the
mayor
and
chief
gilman
really
mentioned
everything
that
this
project
is
about.
E
We
we
started
with
the
equity
indicators,
we've
moved
to
having
our
gender
analysis
and
during
that
kind
of
that
same
time
we
were
working
with
the
unsdgs
and
getting
that
together
locally
to
actually,
I
guess,
act,
lo
locally,
but
it's
a
global
actual
framework
and
we
were
working
on
this
for
the
last
couple
years.
We've
partnered
with
a
couple
organizations
and
non-profits,
and
we
decided
to
work
with
coro
because
of
the
coral
fellow
program,
and
we
have
two
dynamic.
E
Ladies
who've
made
three
presentations
so
far,
and
how
do
we
engage
the
community
with
this
and
how
to
educate
people
on
how
to
align
the
unsdgs,
which
was
adopted
by
the
mayor
last
year
into
moving
to
the
voluntary
local
review
that
we're
going
to
be
releasing
probably
next
week
and
how
we
aligned
our
internal
services
and
supports
to
that
work
and
how
we're
going
to
engage
the
different
sectors
that
chief
gilman
and
the
mayor
had
already
mentioned
earlier
a
few
minutes
ago?
E
So
I'm
not
going
to
hold
any
time
in
kind
of
creating
and
creating
the
stage
a
little
bit
more.
But
I'm
going
to
let
these
two
young
ladies
present,
what
they
have
now
and
actually
explain
how
the
gender
equity
commission
can
be
aligned
with
this
work
as
part
of
one
of
the
unsdgs,
the
one
of
the
most
important
unsdgs
out
of
the
17
in
the
framework,
the
sustainability
goal.
So
with
that
said,
I'm
going
to
allow
amy
and
priya
to
go
ahead
and
do
their
presentation.
F
M
Awesome
yeah.
Thank
you.
So
it's
interesting
because
the
conversation
we've
been
having
from
the
start
of
this
presentation
really
aligns
to
the
conversation
we
had
from
the
start
of
this
meeting.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
talk
to
you
all.
N
E
Well,
the
sdgs
allow
different
type
of
sectors
to
roll
into
that
framework
their
way
and
then
be
able
to
measure
that-
and
this
is
one
of
the
steps
that
they're
going
to
mention
on
in
their
presentation.
E
M
Thank
you.
We
hope
everyone's
staying,
healthy
and
safe
during
these
times,
we're
here
today
to
share
some
work
of
interdepartmental
collaborations,
led
by
the
department
of
state
of
planning,
the
mayor's
office
of
equity
commission
on
human
relations,
gender
equity
commission
of
pittsburgh
to
share
some
key
findings
and
recommended
action
steps
from
the
work
over
the
past
few
years.
M
F
M
So
why
are
we
here?
We
are
here
to
discuss
the
sustainable
development
goals
framework
and
the
voluntary
local
review
tool
like
rick
has
said.
We
hope
that
these
will
assist
in
your
ongoing
work
of
addressing
not
only
equity
issues,
but
an
entire
range
of
pittsburgh's
needs
today,
especially
during
these
times,
we're
looking
forward
to
defining
these
terms.
Why
they're
important
and
relevant
to
pittsburgh
what
has
been
done
so
far
and
how
we
can
move
forward.
F
So
before
we
dive
right
in
I'm,
going
to
briefly
touch
on
what
is
led
to
this
presentation
as
mayor
peduto
and
several
speakers
here
today
have
kind
of
touched
on
it.
As
you
know,
in
2016
the
city
began
a
series
of
collaborative
research
reports
to
investigate
just
how
livable
is
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
how
that
livability
varies
across
the
city
for
different
populations.
F
Recent
examples
from
history
of
shocks
include
the
liberty
bridge
fire
near
decoupling
and
derailments
of
vehicles
carrying
hazardous
materials
in
oakland
and
hazelwood.
The
closure
of
the
steel
industry
and
the
landslide
cleanup
of
2018
wants
to
mention
a
few
and,
as
we
dig
a
little
bit
deeper,
especially
looking
at
the
inequality
across
gender
and
race
report
in
2019
that
was
referenced
several
times
today.
F
So
while
these
frameworks
have
been
very
useful
for
pittsburgh
in
identifying
these
issues
individually,
the
sdg
framework
is
a
little
more
useful
in
addressing
them,
because
sdgs
advance
the
way
we
think
about
them.
They
address
the
intersectionality
of
these
issues
so
amy,
can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
the
sdgs
are.
M
Yes,
so
the
united
nations
sustainable
development
goals,
also
known
as
the
unsdgs,
is
a
tool,
a
language
and
a
guide
for
addressing
everything,
from
ending
poverty
to
financial
empowerment,
peaceful
communities
and
also
flooding
fighting
climate
change.
We
want
to
emphasize
that
the
sdgs
do
not
only
focus
on
environmental
goals,
so
as
nations
nations
and
cities
found
that
they
were
having
similar
problems,
so
they
came
together
and
addressed
them
by
to
problem
solve
with
the
common
language
of
sdgs
to
achieve
collective
impact.
M
So
the
united
nations,
200
plus
member
nations,
unanimously
accepted
and
adopted
the
sdgs
for
being
holistic
and
universal,
and
as
of
october
2019,
pittsburgh
was
the
second
city
in
the
world
to
formally
adopt
the
suggs,
we
simplified
how
sdgs
can
be
applied
at
the
local
level,
just
in
four
easy
steps.
The
first
step
is
engaging
with
sdgs
by
using
them
as
a
framework
of
thinking
and
mapping.
M
This
is
an
example
of
visualizing
how
the
gender
equity
commission
directly
and
indirectly
addresses
the
different
sdgs
through
its
initiative.
This
is
an
example
based
on
our
short
time
here
and
definitely
not
an
exhaustive
list
of
all
the
work
you
have
done,
but
it
shows
that
it's
a
really
simple
way
to
map
out
how
each
project
aligns
with
the
sdgs.
M
If
you
were
able
to
add
your
work
from
the
inequality
across
the
race
and
gender
report,
you
may
find
that
those
reports
alone
may
expand
how
much
you
contribute
to
the
goals
marked
here
and
how
many
more
goals
you
contribute
to.
Overall,
as
more
organizations
adopt,
this
framework
it'll
be
easier
to
track
and
visualize
partnership
opportunities
with
organizations
who
have
similar
areas
of
focus
and
even
organizations
that
have
that
can
help.
You
address
other
sdgs.
M
F
So
what
is
the
vlr?
It
is
a
report
that
a
city
or
regional
government
chooses
to
submit
to
the
united
nations
annually.
It
shows
how
a
city
makes
the
development
goals
more
specific
to
its
needs
and
establishes
its
baseline
performance
for
each
goal.
Pittsburgh
has
committed
to
doing
vlrs
annually
and,
in
fact,
completed
its
first
vlr
this
summer
and,
as
rick
mentioned,
that
report
will
be
released
this
month.
M
So
you
must
be
wondering
so
what
how
can
the
sdg
framework
and
the
vlr
report
help
government
departments
like
the
gender
equity
commission,
so
the
sustainable
development
goals
benefit
your
interactions
and
collaborations
with
three
audiences
and
first
we're
going
to
focus
on
your
respective
constituents.
M
I
personally
noticed
that
the
work
of
gender
equity
commission
and
just
government's
work
in
general
is
not
always
easily
well
known
or
easily
understood.
Sdgs
are
an
easy
marketing
tool
that
will
help
contextualize
the
initiatives
in
a
relatable
grander
vision
through
easy
to
understand
icons
and
language.
M
Sdgs
can
also
benefit
your
interactions
with
second
audience,
which
is
the
stakeholders
from
private
nonprofit
and
the
philanthropy
sectors.
For
example,
it
can
help
deal
with
stress
of
fragmentation
when
addressing
health
and
economic
inequalities
across
rates,
race
and
gender.
There
are
90,
distinct
neighborhoods
and
over
3
000
non-profits
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Many
folks
are
working
on
service
deliveries
in
parallel,
sometimes
duplicating
or
contradicting
each
other's
efforts,
but
a
universal
adoption
of
the
sdgs
can
lead
to
a
better
coordination
of
efforts
and
thus
better
outcomes.
M
M
Lastly,
the
third
audience
that
can
benefit
is
the
commission
itself.
When
we
were
researching,
it
was
difficult
to
track
gec's
collective
work
in
an
organized
fashion
or
in
a
single
place.
However,
the
sdgs
can
seamlessly
be
integrated
into
your
work
now
by
simplifying
and
organizing
everyone's
efforts
and
one
system
of
thinking.
M
Additionally,
labeling
your
work
to
the
goal
you
target
can
reveal
new
partnership
or
opportunities
through
finding
commonalities
during
the
vlr
process
alone.
This
summer,
like
priya,
mentioned
roundtable
discussion,
provided
a
forum
for
department
commissions
authority
employees
to
talk
about
their
projects
and
programs
and
how
they
led
to
the
sdgs
and
actually,
within
those
conversations,
employees
actually
ended
up
following
up
with
one
another
and
overall
increased
collaboration.
M
F
F
So
first
that
involves
looking
at
the
vlr
and
again
asking.
How
do
you
change
not
what
you
do,
but
how
you
think
about
it,
as
mentioned
before
everything
you
do,
is
contributing
to
one
of
these
17
goals
and
so
make
sure
your
projects
are
categorized
by
the
goals
they
support,
and
you
can
compare
and
contrast
that
information
to
your
internal
goals,
to
other
organizations
who
have
adopted
the
framework
and
to
the
overall
city
level
reporting
done
in
the
vlr.
F
F
Now,
if
you
don't
believe
us
just
know
that
adopting
the
sdgs
and
completing
the
vlr
is
not
monitoring
for
monitoring
sake.
In
fact,
cities
all
over
the
world
have
seen
the
benefits.
Let's
just
zoom,
in
on
the
united
states,
for
example,
amy's
hometown
of
los
angeles
cal,
california
has
cataloged
its
efforts
by
relevant
sdgs
and
completed
its
first
vlr.
F
F
F
We
can
build
upon
the
index
created
to
assess
over
100
u.s
cities
just
last
year
by
the
united
nations
sustainable
development
network.
We
don't
even
have
to
look
too
far
beyond
the
pittsburgh
region
itself,
where
powerful
digital
tools
are
being
collaboratively.
Developed
short
pittsburgh
has
the
talent,
the
technology
and
collaboration
potential
to
be
a
leader
among
cities
of
data.
We
have
the
tools
and
as
public
servants
get
on
board,
especially
the
gender
equity
commission.
M
So,
to
recap:
we
recognize
that
there
were
some
limitations
this
year,
so
if
you
want
to
make
next
year's
even
better,
this
is
where
the
gender
equity
commission
comes
in.
With
your
stamp
of
approval
and
your
explicit
engagement
moving
forward,
we
can
make
next
year's
vlr
more
robust,
more
impactful
and
create
better
engagement
with
your
constituents
and
pittsburghers
as
a
whole.
M
We
hope
to
continue
the
conversation
about
how
relevant
this
framework
could
be
applied
to
the
gender
equity
commission,
and
we
are
grateful
to
have
worked
with
grant
irvin,
rebecca
kernan
and
brooke
williams
and
everyone
in
the
sustainability
and
resilience
division
team.
If
we
can
be
helpful
to
you
all,
please
let
us
know
thank
you.
F
A
There
we
go
now,
I
can
see
everybody's
face.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation
on
the
sustainable
development
goals.
I
know
these
are
terrifically
important.
Not
only
is
goal
number
five
gender
equity,
but
every
single
one
of
the
sustainable
development
goals
themselves
is
gendered,
and
I
know
that
anew
has
done
some
terrific
work
and
has
presented
on
how
all
of
those
goals
themselves
are
gendered.
So
I
think
that
this
work
really
really
complements
what
the
gender
equity
commission
is
doing.
G
We
really,
if
I
could
just
add
to
that
really
fast.
Just
we
you
know
there.
This
presentation
reflects
the
way
to
really
try
and
institutionalize
in
city
departments,
having
consistency
and
the
way
that
I
think
the
gender
equity
commission
can
work
in
the
same
way
is
when
we
talk
about
data
and
encouraging
disaggregated
data
collection
in
a
consistent
way
that
we
might
think
of
this
as
one
of
the
formats
that
we
would,
we
would
try
and
work
at
departments.
G
A
A
We're
going
to
have
to
sort
of
rush
right
along
to
the
rest
of
the
business
of
our
our
meeting
for
the
rest
of
you
who
are
with
us
we're
going
to
skip
along
very
quickly
but
again,
amy
priya.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
with
us
and
rick.
Thank
you
very
much
for
working
with
the
coral
fellows.
That's
terrific!
A
Okay!
For
those
of
you
who
are
following
along
in
our
agenda.
We
are
actually
now
at
our
administrative
portion
of
the
meeting,
which
normally
is
right
at
the
top
of
the
hour.
I
knew
you
are
next
up
with
your
executive
director's
report.
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
over
for
like
30-second
report.
G
Yes,
I
just
want
to
say
so
what
I'm
focusing
on-
and
you
know,
commissioners
work
really
hard
and,
of
course,
working
with
city
government.
Our
our
task
is
to
make
recommendations
for
long-term
sustainable
change.
I
really
appreciate
the
commissioner
questions
for
the
mayor
and
the
chief
because
they're
right
on
the
money,
I
think
about
what
we.
What
should
we
be
focusing
on?
G
What
can
we
bring
our
research
and
your
expertise
to
bear
on,
and
so
I've
been
really
trying
to
make
sure
that
what
the
committees
are
recommending
that
I
see
through
the
logistics
and
the
final,
I
think
so
it's
a
week
later
than
I'd
hoped,
but
our
rfp
for
community-based
research
on
gender
equity
in
pittsburgh
was
published
at
2pm.
G
I
was
hoping
to
have
it
earlier
I'll,
be
sending
you
an
email
later
this
week
there
are
a
few
more
things,
including
dates
for
a
retreat,
I'll,
try
and
put
those
all
in
one
email.
But
please
please
please
please.
Please
share
that
as
broadly
as
you
can,
we
want
as
many
people,
especially
diverse
communities,
especially
communities
of
black
pittsburghers,
especially
communities
of
black
pittsburgh,
women
and
femmes.
G
To
know
about
this
to
to
participate
next
tuesday
at
1
pm
omb
has
scheduled
a
pre-conference
where
people
can
ask
questions,
they
can
also
submit
questions
via
email
to
the
city
until
the
29th.
I
will
send
this
all
to
you
in
an
email
but
spread
it
in
your
social
media
and
your
network
make
sure
everyone
knows
about
it,
because
we
want
everyone
in
the
city
who's
interested
to
have
a
chance
to
participate.
G
So
that's
the
most
exciting
news.
Similarly,
with
the
workforce,
equity
committee
you'll
hear
the
committee
reports,
so
I
won't
I
won't
go
into
detail,
but
that
I
I
think
the
work
is
happening
really
well,
where
commissioners
are
coming
together.
Brainstorming
coming
to
consensus,
giving
me
directives,
and
then
sometimes
I
have
to
report
back
that
I
can't
make
something
work:
it's
not
within
the
purview
of
the
city
or
it's
not
possible
right
now.
G
Ideally,
sometimes
I
can
say
yes,
an
rfp
is
done,
so
I
want
to
thank
the
committees
for
all
of
the
incredibly
hard
work.
You're
you've
been
doing,
and
I'm
going
to
leave
it
at
that,
so
that
I
can
have
give
more
time.
My
executive
director
report,
if
you
get
a
chance,
I
try
to
put
as
much
detail
in
there
as
possible.
Please
feel
free
to
email
me
at
any
time
and
say
I
want
to
hear
more
about
that
meeting.
G
A
Fantastic,
thank
you
anew
yeah,
and
I
really
do
encourage
everybody
to
read
a
news
reports
when
she
sends
them
she's,
including
a
lot
of
information
about
meetings
that
she's
having
presentations
that
she's
given.
So
I
know,
sometimes
we
have
questions
about
how
we're
being
represented
in
the
community
and
anew's
not
trying
to
hide
any
of
that
from
us
it's
in
there.
So
please
do
read
her
report.
I
know
you
get
a
lot
of
information
from
us
every
month,
but
that
one's
really
helpful.
A
Similarly,
over
on
the
executive
committee
side
of
things,
I
will
just
take
about
25
seconds
to
let
you
know
that
we
struggled
with
the
agenda
for
today,
because
we
knew
we
were
going
to
have
a
lot
packed
into
it.
The
executive
committee
really
is
trying
to
streamline
these
meetings.
We
did
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
had
a
brief
conversation
about
how
to
put
new
business
back
into
the
agenda.
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
that
some
more
in
the
executive
committee.
A
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
all
of
you
to
bring
new
business
to
the
floor,
but
should
you
ever
have
things
that
you
want
to
have
discussed
that
are
not
within
a
community
committee
structure?
You
know
you
can
always
let
somebody
on
the
executive
committee.
Let
myself
let
a
new
no,
and
we
would.
We
can
always
build
that
into
an
agenda.
So
we
recognize
that
we're
not
giving
a
lot
of
time
at
the
end
of
our
agendas
right
now
to
new
business.
A
We
don't
want
to
give
that
short
shrift.
So
if
you've
got
things
that
you
think
belong
there,
you
know
just
give
us
a
heads
up
the
other
thing
we
talked
about
really
quickly.
This
is
your
group
that
often
talks
about
policy
and
process
issues.
We
just
took
another
look
at
our
media
and
speaker
request
process.
This
is
something
that
we
all
had
talked
about
back
in
june,
but
since
we
have
so
many
new
commissioners
joining
us,
we
just
wanted
to
remind
you.
We
actually
have
a
process,
we
got
it
in
writing.
A
We
sent
you
a
link
to
a
document.
Take
a
look
at
that
because,
if
you,
if
you
are
getting
asked
to
speak
like
I
know
that
morgan
was
just
asked
to
speak
as
a
commissioner
right
if
you're
getting
requests
to
be
a
speaker
and
you're
being
asked
to
speak
on
a
panel
or
to
a
reporter
on
behalf
of
the
commission.
Of
course,
you
can
always
speak
as
yourself.
A
We
we
never
interfere
with
that,
but
if
you're
being
asked
to
speak
as
a
commissioner,
take
a
look
at
that
document,
it'll
guide
you
in
terms
of
how
we
handle
those
speaking
requests.
So
that's
all
in
writing
and
it's
in
your
google
folder
check
out
the
google
folders
they're
so
well.
Organized
and
who's
got
them
like
subfolders
within
subfolders
within
subfolders,
and
those
you
should
have
access
to
all
of
those
all
right,
moving
along
and
again,
committee
chairs.
Thank
you
for
your
your
patience
and
flexibility
today.
N
Thank
you,
jesse.
I'm
just
gonna
call
folks
attention
to
a
news
executive
director
report
where
she
mentions
the
operating
budget
for
city
of
pittsburgh.
As
folks
know,
we
approved
our
recommendations
for
what
the
gec
would
submit
and
they
were
shared
with
the
city.
The
city
is
now
in
that
deliberation.
Process
of
the
budget
and
anew
offers
a
link
on
her
report
where
you
can
be
involved
in
that
process.
So
I
encourage
you
to
check
that
out
and
hopefully
we'll
receive
some
continued
support
in
2021.
N
A
Okay,
perfect,
thank
you
any
questions
for
sarah
about
finance
related
things,
I'm
obviously
not
trying
to
rush
us,
but
I'm
rushing
us
at
the
same
time,
I'm
doing
both
governance
and
leadership
development
committee.
Before
I
hand
this
over
to
sabrina,
I
do
have
to
let
you
know
I
I
spoke
with
sabrina
about
this
and
I
let
the
executive
committee
know
as
well.
A
They
have
sort
of
the
unenviable
task
of
having
to
put
together
a
slate
to
run
for
executive
committee
and
that
slate
has
to
be
presented
in
december
so
that
we
can
all
vote
on
it
in
january,
and
I
did
let
folks
know
already
that
I
will
not
be
running
for
chair
again.
So
one
of
the
things
that
our
governance
committee
has
to
do
is
reach
out
to
all
of
you
and
see
if
any
of
you
might
be
willing
to
serve
in
this
role.
A
I've
been
absolutely
thrilled
and
honored
and
humbled
to
be
in
this
role,
for
this
is
actually
my
third
year
two
and
a
half
years
into
this,
I'm
not
going
anywhere
as
long
as
mayor
peduto
continues
to
allow
me
to
serve
on
the
commission.
I
will
still
be
on
the
commission,
but
it's
very
healthy,
to
have
leadership
transition,
so
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
regularly
turning
over
this
chair
position
and
I
will
be
here
to
assist
with
that
transition
and
I'm
absolutely
thrilled
to
do
that.
A
But
I
wanted
to
hand
it
over
to
sabrina
who's
going
to
talk
about
how
we
will
be
putting
together
a
slate,
among
other
things,.
B
No
certainly,
I
want
to
just
say
every
you
know,
jesse,
and
I
talked
quite
a
bit
about
how
much
work
and
effort
she's
put
into
getting
our
commission
to
where
we
are,
and
while
I
understand
why
she
doesn't
want
to
continue
his
chair,
we
are
forever
thankful
for
all
that
hard
work
that
you've
done
with
regard
to
putting
forth
a
slate.
B
Some
of
you
who
were
on
the
commission
the
first
time
know
that
the
nominating
committee
did
make
phone
calls
to
folks
to
all
commissioners
to
discuss
with
them
whether
or
not
they
had
an
interest
in
sitting
in
or
running
for
one
of
those
officer
positions
for
the
executive
committee.
So
we
will
take
on
that
task
again
and
we
will
be
in
touch
with
you.
B
But
what
was
helpful
at
the
time
was
that
if
you
were
interested-
and
you
know-
certainly
if
you
know
now,
but
if
you've
thought
about
it
and
that's
something
that
you
wanted
to
pursue,
if
you
could
reach
out
to
me,
so
I
will
have
an
ask
a
new
if
it's
possible,
to
share
my
email
address
with
everyone
so
that
they
could
connect
with
me.
B
If
that
is
something
that
they
want
to
do,
remember
that
the
positions
that
would
be
opening
would
be
the
chair
position
that
we
have
two
vice
chair
positions,
the
secretary
position
and
the
treasurer
position,
and
certainly
someone
who's
sitting
in
that
position-
can
rerun
for
that
as
well.
So
we
will
have
a
slate
ready
to
go
by
december
and
then
we
will
vote
on
it
and
those
terms
will
begin
in
january.
So
that's
that
transition
that
we
need
to
make
and
I
think
we're
all.
G
B
That's
a
very
good
question,
so
please
anyone
who's
interested,
please
let
me
know,
but
I
will
be
reaching
out
or
another
member
of
our
committee
would
be
reaching
out
to
you
to
talk
about
opportunities.
For
that.
B
I
do
have
two
other
things
to
quickly
report
on
jesse
as
part
of
the
governance
and
leadership
committee,
and
I
wanted
to
thank
my
committee
members,
lee
felgerty,
amanda,
nietrauer
and
jaleesa,
who
I
don't
think
is
on
here
today
for
all
of
their
hard
work
that
they
have
done
with
planning
it
for
the
retreat.
B
We
have
reached
out
to
elise
pinchback,
who
I
know
that
many
of
you
on
this
call
are
familiar
with
about
running
the
retreat
and
originally,
if
you
or,
if
you
recall,
we
originally
talked
about
doing
a
retreat
in
two
on
two
parts
and
she
is
able
to
cover
both
of
those
topics
for
us,
which
is
a
real
benefit
to
the
commission.
So
she
has
provided-
and
I
can
share
with
you
later
in
the
in
the.
B
Having
in
for
time
and
efficiency,
I
can
put
in
an
email,
her
background,
but
what
we're
also
going
to
submit
to
you
are
dates
that
she's
available
to
hold
those
retreats
which
are
in
november,
so
just
briefly,
they're,
11th,
12th,
18th
and
19th
and
anew
has
been
helpful
and
willing
to
send
out
a
due
to
poll.
B
But
we
would
just
ask
that
you
complete
that
doodle
poll
by
the
end
of
the
week
so
that
we
can
figure
out
what
dates
works,
work
best
and
then
we
can
secure
those
and
get
our
retreat
scheduled
and
ready
to
go.
And
then
the
last
thing
has
to
do
with
our
job
descriptions
for
our
executive
committee.
There
was
a,
I
think,
some
technical
difficulties
on
this,
but
work
it
actually
worked
out
because
we
don't
have
the
time
to
work
on
that
today.
B
We're
going
to
be
sending
them
out
again
to
every
commissioner.
This
is
a
draft,
it's
not
a
final
version.
It
is
meant
for
us
to
work
on
and
actually
and
it's
important
that
we
get
these
in
place.
So
folks,
who
are
running
for
these
positions,
know
exactly
what
will
be
expected
of
them
should
they
take
over
and
jesse?
I
was
just
wondering
we
used
to
do.
B
A
Yeah
we've
had
working
sessions
before
we
can
certainly
do
that.
I
think
that's
a
great
request
and
the
executive
committee
can
schedule
that,
but
it's
good
to
know
now,
if
that's
a
request
in
advance
of
the
november,
particularly
for
trying
to
schedule
some
other
things
in
november.
So.
B
A
L
As
far
as
the
retreat
goes,
when
you
said
there
are
some
dates:
how
how
long
is
the
blocks
of
time.
B
It
would
be
two,
no
that's
a
great
question,
it
would
be
two
separate
days
and
each
block
of
time
would
be
one
and
a
half
hours.
We
thought
about
trying
to
do
it
all
together,
but
we
thought
that
would
create
too
much
zoom
fatigue,
so
we're
trying
to
break
it
up
a
bit.
Okay.
Thank
you.
G
You
and,
and
just
I'm
sorry,
that
all
of
these
things
are
clustering
together,
but
you'll
get
a
lot
of
information.
Heavy
emails
from
the
gender
equity
commission
this
week.
A
J
Well,
you
know
me,
I'm
an
artist,
so
I'm
happy
to
come
up
with
a
logo,
hello,
everyone.
So
I'm
gonna
make
this
an
elevator
spiel
about
our
committee,
but
it's
essentially
a
temperature
read
about
where
we're
headed,
and
so
we
had
a
really
robust
conversation
about.
You
know
where
we
would
like
to
go,
and
you
know
we're
thinking
about
what
we
were
designed
to
do
with
the
ordinance,
but
also
reality
with
covid
and
just
life
right.
J
J
It's
to
kind
of
think
of
a
temperature
read
and
a
baseline,
and
it
especially
goes
back
to
the
point
that
amanda
and
the
mayor
spoke
of
earlier
that
you
know
these
are
entities
of
power
and
decision-making
power
in
the
city,
and
they
have
you
know
implications
with
who
they
serve.
So
this
is
just
for
us
to
really
think
about
what
does
it
look
like
in
a
gendered
lens?
What
are
the
employment
practices?
J
What
are
the
operations
so
that
we
can
think
about
a
strategic
and
sustainable
action
plan
moving
forward,
and
then
the
next
kind
of
bucket
is
to
think
about
the
strategic
plan.
Looking
ahead,
and
so
again
we
have
all
these
tools
under
about
our
policy
recommendations,
the
mayor's
response,
our
gender
equity
report.
J
We
have
all
of
these
tools
under
our
belt
to
really
be
strategic
about
an
action
plan,
and
then
we
also
have
the
gender
analysis
committee,
which
will
help
us
think
about
all
of
the
region
and
all
of
this
city-
and
you
know
the
intersectional
needs,
especially
as
we
focus
and
hone
in
on
our
black
women
and
those
who
are
most
impacted
by
disparities
and
then
the
last
part
is
the
policy
recommendation.
J
So
obviously,
throughout
all
this
analysis,
you
know
we're
gonna
come
up
with
different
policy
recommendations
for
our
action
plans
for
every
department,
but
this
will
also
have
implications
of
the
city,
so
it's
kind
of
like
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.
Another
really
interesting
thing
about
this
committee
is
that
we
obviously
know
in
order
to
have
sustainable
and
robust
change.
We
have
to
move
with
the
tides
right.
We
can't
have
stagnant
things
that
looked
good
three
years
ago.
J
So
for
all
of
you
in
your
work
and,
for
example,
the
crown
act
is
an
incredible
example
of
this.
If
there
are
policy
recommendations
that
you
have
encountered
run
it
through
this
committee,
because
we
can
present
that
you
know
as
a
whole
commission
and
then
have
it
for
the
city's
policy
analyst
to
review.
So
it's
just
a
continuous
stream
of
progress.
J
So
if
any
of
you
have
any
other
creative
ideas
or
buzzwords
you'd
like
to
put
in
or
if
we
could
put
it
to
vote
today,
I'd
be
so
glad
so
that
way,
I
don't
have
to
put
fancy
adjectives
before
the
committee
meetings
on
my
google
calendar
so
jesse
do
you
have
any
thoughts
on
that?
Did
I
miss
anything
that
was
beautiful.
J
Which
I'm
fine,
you
know
visuals
can
help
compel
a
message,
but
I'd
like
to
put
forth
a
vote
for
changing
the
name
of
the
city
department.
Analysis
committee,
which
then
turned
into
the
five-year
plan
committee
and
to
the
equity
action
planning
committee.
A
A
Two
seconds
any
just
for
this:
this
is
this
would
be
renaming.
I
mean
this
is
a
formality.
We
don't
normally
vote
on
names.
A
This
is
actually
you
know
an
important
in
terms
of
framing
our
thinking
about
what
the
work
of
this
committee
is
doing
and
morgan's
really
been
leading
the
charge
on
helping
us
think
about
the
steps
right
and
how
to
do
this
work.
This
is
all
comes
right
out
of
the
ordinance
so
she's
going
to
share
a
document
that
we
have
been
working
on,
and
we
had
a
terrific
meeting
in
the
minds
yesterday
to
think
through
this.
A
D
A
All
right,
great,
that
helps
us
focus
the
work
a
little
bit
and
we
will
send
you
a
copy
of
that
document.
I
know
we're
asking
you
to
read
a
lot
of
documents
and
things
on
your
own.
Please
please,
please
do
you
know
set
aside
some
time
to
do
that.
I
know
you're
all
volunteers
and
we
so
appreciate
your
time
and
effort.
We've
tried
to
make
this
as
streamlined
as
possible.
J
A
C
Yes,
I
am,
and
my
mind
will
be
very,
very
quick
because
I
knew
certainly
introduced
that
we
are
done
we're
getting
ready
to
not
getting
ready,
but
it
is
ready
to
go
out,
and
I
wanted
to
just
thank
the
committee,
which
is
lee
and
sarah
schultz,
and
you
know
jesse
and
anu,
just
just
for
being
there
and
for
for
helping
out.
C
So
we
got
it
done
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
anus
asked,
and
that
is
that
you
get
the
word
out
to
people
we
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it
gets.
C
You
know
that
it
is
goes
into
the
inner
crevices
of
where
people
where
people
live,
where
people
work
where
people
worship
where
people
play.
We
just
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
gets
out
to
to
everybody,
and
you
know
if
you
need
any
support
with
that
or
you
know
if
you
want
to
send
me
a
list
do
whatever
it
takes,
but
we
want
this
to
get
out
to
to
everybody,
and
so
that's
really
all
I
I
wanted
to
say
you
know
it's
time
to.
I
think
morgan
talked
about
action.
C
It's
it's
it's
time
for
action
now
and
that's
to
get
that
word
out,
get
people
engaged
and
hoping
that
we
have
a
a
just,
a
groundswell
of
of
applicants
and
people
who
we
can
really
sit
down
and
and
see
who
will
be
the
very
best
folks
to
do
this
work
and
so
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
and
that's
all
jesse,
I'm
I'm
I'm
good!
I'm
just
so
excited
we're
done,
and
it's
great.
A
It's
fantastic,
thank
you
to
this
committee.
Thank
you
anew
for
your
shepherding
and
getting
this
through.
Yes
quickly.
We
know
how
quick
this
was
in
the
grand
scheme
of
things.
B
A
G
Right,
yes,
and
like
I
said
it
was,
it
was
just
published
at
two.
So
I
knowing
that
I
would
have
to
send
an
email,
but
I
will
send
links,
I
will
send
attachments
and
I
might
even
send
you
like
a
blurb
or
if
I
know
who
you
are
on
facebook
or
something.
G
Or
if
you're
willing
to
I
I'll,
include
something
that
you
can
just
cut
and
paste
into
social
media.
I
of
course
will
be
sending
it
out
on
every
channel.
There'll
be
a
special
issue
of
the
newsletter
and
so
continue
to
encourage
your
friends
to
get
the
newsletter
and
yeah
so
we'll
just
be
blasting
it
and
also
be
working
with
the
communications
team
to
get
it
out.
A
So
welcome
this
is
so
exciting
and
again
I
in
encouraging
you
all
to
read
all
the
things
you're
going
to
get
into
your
mailbox.
One
of
the
things
that
the
equity
action
planning
committee
has
been
talking
about
is
the
relationship
between
that
work
and
sharon's
committee's
work.
So
how
does
this
gender
analysis
that
we're
all
performing
you
know
collectively
through
this
committee's
leadership?
D
A
A
N
You
jesse,
I
have
three
items
to
share
with
folks
this
afternoon
regarding
the
work
of
the
workforce
equity
committee.
The
first
is
that
very
exciting.
We
are
launching
our
two
workforce
equity
initiatives,
with
a
focus
on
the
aaw
work,
smart
initiative.
We
are
holding
november
18th
as
the
date
for
that
launch.
So
I
know
that
was
mentioned
as
one
of
the
possible
dates
for
our
retreat,
so
there
may
be
a
little
bit
of
a
conflict
there.
N
So
right
now,
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is
have
a
virtual
launch
with
some
invited
speakers,
and
we
can
share
more
details
on
that.
We
have
a
city
planning
meeting
this
friday.
N
So
after
that
meeting
we
can
share
out
more
details,
but
the
second
item
that
is
connected
to
this
is
that,
in
addition
to
launching
our
workforce
equity
initiatives
on
on
that
date,
publicly,
we
also
want
to
announce
the
recognition
of
november
as
what
we
are
proposing
to
call
pittsburgh
women's
pay
equity
month
and
the
messaging
would
be
around
two
key
points:
number
one
that
it
currently.
N
According
to
the
data
from
our
report
from
last
year's
pittsburgh
inequality
across
gender
and
race
report,
it
takes
11
months
for
black
women
to
achieve
pay
parity
to
what
white
men
achieved
the
year
prior,
which
is
heinous.
It's
ridiculous.
So
that's
one
aspect
of
this
and
in
fact,
the
second
message
being
that
with
that
pay
parity
moment,
it's
actually
marks.
Then,
when
all
women
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
have
achieved
pay
parity
with
what
white
men
are
in
the
prior
year.
N
So
those
are
the
two
key
messaging,
the
two
key
messages
that
we
would
be
putting
out
with
this.
So
for
that
reason
it
is
the
committee's
recommendation
to
call
it
pittsburgh
women's
pay
equity
month,
but
we
wanted
to
present
that
to
you
today,
just
to
give
everyone
a
chance
to
give
some
feedback.
So
my
question
around
this
second
issue
is:
do
folks?
Is
anyone
opposed
or
does
anyone
have
concerns
to
our
dubbing
november
pittsburgh?
Women's
pay
equity
month.
A
Looking
around
for
any
hands
or
facial
expressions,
you
know
and
recall
that
this
group
took
a
look
at
that
proposal
back
in
february
and
approved
that
as
as
a
as
a
month
to
recognize
this,
but
this
committee
has
been
discussing
what
specifically
to
call
it
and
how
to
message
it.
So
thank
you,
sarah
and
this
group
for
for
having
that
conversation,
great.
Okay,
no
concerns
back
to.
N
You,
okay,
all
right,
then.
The
third
and
final
item
is
an
action
request
for
a
vote.
We
have
received
a
proposed
contract
from
nth
party
to
serve
as
the
third
party
data
management
provider
for
our
pittsburgh
workforce,
equity
commitment
initiative
and,
as
a
brief
reminder,
that
initiative
is
focused
on
systemic
change
and
promoting
women's
workforce
equity
with
companies
with
businesses.
N
So
we,
our
goal,
is
to
form
a
council
and
then
to
also
launch
this
commitment
where
employers
pledge
to
commit
to
closing
the
gender
pay
gap
to
exploring
other
aspects
of
gender-based
and
race-based
workforce
inequities
and
as
part
of
that,
to
give
to
do
to
participate
in
data
collection
of
confidential.
You
know
disaggregated
an
anonymous
data
collection
of
their
employees,
demographics
and
wage
compensation
data
every
two
years,
and
so
our
request
with
and
party.
N
They
are
the
team
that
created
the
system
that
the
city
of
boston
has
been
using
for
the
past
several
years.
They
originally
out
of
boston
university
and
then
formed
a
small
business
in
order
to
assist
other
cities
and
other
entities
with
replicating
this
data
process.
So
I
will
share
my
screen
very
briefly.
So
folks
can.
N
See
are
folks
able
to
see
this
statement
of
work.
Okay,
so
the
table
is
where
to
focus
your
attention.
I'm
I'm
happy
to
share
the
document
in
full.
It's
it's
very
brief,
but
basically
what
they're
saying
is
that
this
would
be
in
essence,
a
year-long
contract
that
it
would
be
they
are.
N
They
had
originally
quoted
us
a
cost
of
ten
thousand
dollars
which
we
included
in
our
budget
for
this
year
and
they
shared
that
there
are
some
additional
fees
but
they're
subsidizing
those
fees
with
grants,
so
the
cost
to
the
gender
equity
commission
would
be
for
the
full
year
ten
thousand
dollars.
N
The
services
that
it
would
include,
as
you
can
see,
is
a
planning
and
training
helping
us
create
the
the
data
form
that
we
will
be
using
and
as
a
quick
reminder,
it
would
be
a
combination
of
the
eeo1,
the
eeoc
one
form,
as
well
as
pulling
questions
from
the
bloomberg
gender
equality
index.
So
we
would
be
combining
some
of
those
together
we'll
be
asking
folks
for
some
help
with
that,
but
this
would
be
around
planning
that
out
creating
that
form,
training,
providing
training
to
us
and
to
employers.
N
For
how
to
submit
their
data,
providing
technical
assistance
assisting
with
you
know
creating
the
process
of
disaggregation
and
analysis
and
again
just
any
follow-up
services
that
we
would
need
for
the
full
year.
Do
folks
have
any
questions
around
what
they
are
offering
with
this.
N
And
to
also
yes
and
to
provide
a
storage
solution,
so
it
is
important
that
it
not
be
a
government
entity
that
receive
this
data,
so
they
offer
a
secure
system
where,
by
which
employers
can
anonymously
submit
the
data
they
will
disaggregate
and
then
it
gets
sent
once
once.
It
has
been
de-identified.
E
Yes,
do
we
have
a
say
in
how
the
data
will
be
collected
and
disaggregated.
N
Yes,
we
do,
they
have
some
recommendations,
but
they
are,
and
that's
something
that
I
would
like
to
speak
with
commissioners
with
at
a
later
time
soon.
Ish
would
be
the
exact
questions
that
we
want.
You
know
looking
at
what
boston
used,
but
how
do
we
adjust
it
for
what
we
are
looking
to
do
and
then
they
would
assist
us
with
with
converting
that
into
it's
a
web-based
process
that
they
use
for
employers
to
submit
data.
E
E
So
I
don't
know
if
you
had
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
look
at
some
of
those
frameworks
from
the
sdgs.
We
could
send
that
information
to
you
as
we
kind
of
look
at
the
data,
so
we
won't
have
all
these
different
frameworks
collecting
stuff
disaggregated
and
it's
not
comprehensive.
So
that's
the
only
concern
that
I
would
have
well
not
really
a
concern,
but
to
something
as
we're
kind
of
developing
things.
How
do
we
do
a
comprehensive
that
it
could
work
for
multiple
frameworks
of
people?
I
agree.
I
So
can
I
can,
I
add,
to
that
real
quick,
sarah
sure,
so
the
the
reason
why
we
we
get
the
data
and
we
do
it
every
two
years-
is
number
one
to
track
the
progress.
So
to
your
point,
rick,
this
is
not
a
one-off.
This
would
be
information
that,
besides
assisting
employers
with
seeing
how
well
collectively
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
is
doing
to
close
the
gender
wage
gap.
I
It's
also
information
that
you
know
we
would
use
similar
to
the
gender
similar
to
the
report
that
we
put
out
for
anything
and
everything
that
we
need
it
for,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
it's
so
important
to
have
a
company
that
can
house
this
information
securely
make
sure
that
it's
anonymous
and
cannot
be
traced
back
to
the
individuals
that
put
the
information
out,
etc.
So
you
know
we'll
have
we
as
a
as
a
collective
will?
I
N
E
N
So
the
motion
that
I'm
putting
before
the
commission
today
is
to
approve
the
use
of
ten
thousand
dollars
from
the
fifty
thousand
dollars
that
was
budgeted
for
workforce
equity.
This
in
2020
to
use
ten
thousand
dollars
towards
procuring
this
contract.
A
D
A
A
Any
abstains,
no
abstentions.
Okay.
That
motion
carries
thank
you
again,
sarah
amanda
committee
for
your
work
on
that
project.
Thank
you.
A
G
I'll
just
make
a
quick
request
to
the
kdm
waiting
on
vendor
letters.
So
if
you
can
nudge
your
committee
member
and
say,
thank
you
all
very
much
and
I'll
keep
processing
the
paperwork.
On
my
end,
thanks.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very,
very
much
and
we'll
look
for
some
more
updates
about
what
what
you
need
from
us
for
november
for
our
participation
in
november
activities.
I
know
you've
got
a
planning
committee
coming
cleaning
meeting
coming
up
about
that
soon.
We
are
almost
back
on
track
with
our
time.
I
do
appreciate
your
patience.
We
may
just
run
a
moment
or
two
over.
I
see
that
we've
got
jordan
with
us.
Jordan.
Are
you
giving
us
a
policy
update
today.
O
I
feel
like
the
mayor
and
chief
gilman
did
a
really
thorough
job
covering
most
of
what
we're
doing.
The
one
thing
they
didn't
mention
was
the
appointments
project
we
are
launching
next
month,
which
is
really
exciting
and
we're
working
with
we're
speaking
with
gwen's
girls,
the
executive
women's
council
as
well.
So
thank
you,
commissioner
fogerty
for
that
recommendation
and
jesse
well
with
the
chatham
women's
institute.
O
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
getting
that
off
the
ground,
just
another
initiative
that
is
incredibly
important
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
in
our
office.
That
happens
to
align
with
the
work
that
the
commission
is
doing,
but
other
than
that
the
crown
act
passed
today,
which
is
pretty
exciting.
We
are
working
with
that.
Actually,
like
180
plus
page
word,
document
of
changes
to
the
code.
It
is,
I
know
chicken
said
90,
but
it's
more
like
180
200
pages.
G
O
O
It
is,
you
know,
the
changes
were
very
tedious,
but
the
work
is
incredibly
important,
and
so
we
obviously
had
no
issue
going
through
the
code
and
making
those
incredibly
incredibly
important
changes.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
that
being
introduced
to
council
very
soon.
I
think
that's
just
about
it
like
I
said
they
covered
everything
that
I
was
going
to
say
so.
A
A
O
P
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you,
jordan,
for
following
through
with
executive
women's
council.
They
are
so
pleased
at
being
involved
in
this
and
it
really
justified
all
of
the
work
that
they've
done
over
these
years.
So
I
appreciate
how
quickly
you
got
to
them,
and
I
heard
about
it
right
away.
O
Absolutely
absolutely,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know,
they've
been
doing
the
work,
so
it's
important
that
we
acknowledge
that
and
you
know
bring
them
into
the
work
that
we're
doing
currently
so.
D
A
I
feel
like
we
should
return
you
to
your
your
work.
This
is
such
an
important
project
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
crown
act.
You
know
that's
something
that
this
group
discussed
briefly.
I
guess
like
two
years
ago.
I
think
so
really
exciting
to
see
some
of
this
work
come
to
fruition.
Congratulations.
L
A
Right,
if
there's
nothing
else
on
policy
that
we
should
be
thinking
about
today's
been
a
big
policy
day.
We
are
on
number
eight
on
the
agenda,
new
business
and
action
requests.
We
do
have
some
time
to
bring
anything
from
the
floor
if
anybody
has
anything
new
that
you'd
like
to
discuss
this.
Is
that
part
of
the
meeting
I
was
talking
about
that
always
get
puts
to
the
end?
Push
to
the
end-
and
I
worry
that
we
don't
have
enough
time
for
new
business
lee
go
ahead.
Well,.
P
This
is
actually
we've
been
talking
about
the
sdgs,
and
there
is
in
november
starting
november,
18th
there's
the
16
days
of
activism
that
the
u.n
and
the
sdg
committees
have
been
working
on
and
it's
against
violence
against
women
internationally.
P
It
ends
on
december
10th
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
it
up
in
terms
of
having
some
way
that
we
might
make
a
statement
about
this
zonta.
The
organization
I
belong
to
does
about
daily
things
with
is
putting
things
out
almost
every
day
about
things,
but
one
of
the
suggestions
was
from
the
international
campus.
P
If
we
could
get
the
mayor
to
make
a
proclamation
about
the
16
days
of
activism,
how
important
it
is
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
you
think,
a
new
messy
that
we
could
do
or.
G
Could
could
we
do
it
through
the
action
request
process,
because
then
you
lee
as
the
suggesting
party,
would
collect
the
information
and
then
pass
it
my
way
with
your
recommendation
and
then
I
would
figure
out
what
jordan
and
ella
how
we
can
make
that
work
yeah.
So.
G
So
any
commissioner,
when
something
like
this
comes
up,
that
you
think
the
commission
should
do
and
that
that
request
comes
to
me,
so
I
would
discuss
it
with
the
chair
and
it
might
be
as
simple
as
saying
oh
yeah.
Let's
just
do
this
or
it
might
be
something
we
could
partner
with
other
groups
if
they're
doing
things
like
I'll
talk
to
rick
about
this
particular
one.
Thank
you.
Lee.
P
E
And
lee,
if
you
have
that
information
from
the
un,
because
we
haven't
set
up
the
press
conference
yet
for
our
blr
submission
at
the
end
of
the
month,
I
mean
we're
being
very
ambitious
to
hope
that
it
will
be
next
week
because
next
week
is
the
end
of
the
month,
but
it
may
be
delayed
after
the
election.
So
there's
conversation
back
and
forth
about
that.
E
Should
we
do
it
next
week
or
should
we
wait
so
if
and
we
want
to
get-
and
we
want
participation
from
the
because
we're
submitting
this
vlr
to
them
to
be
the
first
third
city
in
the
united
states
to
do
that?
So
it's
very
significant.
So.
A
Well,
that's
great,
thank
you
lee,
and
this
is
a
really
good
example,
as
anu
just
said
of
how
we
can
use
our
action
request
process,
you
know
we're
we're
not
trying
to
use
processes
to
bog
down
our
work,
we're
trying
to
use
processes
to
expedite
our
work,
and
these
are
all
things
that
we've
talked
about
collectively
and
I
think
that
they're
working
really
well
and
great
timing.
So
thank
you
so
much
lee.
That's
a
wonderful
example.
G
G
This
is
from
marsha
bandis,
who
everyone
will
know
as
one
of
our
saunted
advocates
pittsburgh
for
cedaw
with
lee
the
steering
committee.
G
She
wanted
to
follow
up
on
something
that
the
mayor
said
about
health
care
and
just
to
remind
us
that
we
can't
stop
with
pregnancy
and
birth
when
we're
talking
about
infant
and
maternal
health,
that
we
need
to
continue
the
care
of
both
a
mother
and
infant
through
the
first
year.
So
she
just
wanted
it
on
the
record
that
you
know
we.
We
can't
think
of
these
things
as
if
we
just
look
at
pregnancy
through
birth.
That
will
not
have
the
impact
that
we
need
marsha
shared
with
us.
A
A
We
are
right
at
the
end
of
our
time,
we
did
a
great
job
catching
up
thanks
for
everyone,
for
your
speediness
in
speaking
and
getting
right
to
the
business
appreciate
everybody
today.
Our
next
meeting
is
on
november
17th
from
2
30
to
4
30,
and
we
will
be
online
once
again.
The.
G
A
Little
collect
today
we're
action
items,
that's
something
that
kalani
used
to
do
and
we
didn't
want
to
put
that
burden
on
our
brand
new
interim
secretary,
but
starting
again
next
month
we
have
action
items.
We
do
stick
those
here
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
I
think
most
of
today's
action
items
are
on
anew
because
she's
got
like
a
hundred
emails,
that
she's
kind.
G
Of
sent
down,
I'm
gonna
send
you
all
one
email,
try
and
make
it
as
clear
as
possible,
be
patient
with
me
I'll,
try
and
make
it
really
musically.
I
want
to
thank
jesse
for
getting
us
through
this
meeting.
You
know
with
just
a
couple
minutes
over.
There
was
a
lot
to
do
and
also
thank
you
allison
for
stepping
up
as
secretary
it
really.
You
all
are
just
amazing
and
supportive
people
and-
and
that's
really
wonderful.
P
N
I
replied
to
you
leo.
I
did
I'm
gonna
ask
on
friday
to
if
there's
any
updates
and
yes
and
as
soon
as
I
have
scheduling
updates,
we
will
pass
them
on
perfect.
