We

A
Let's
go

and
do
a
quick
roll
call,
so
we
know
who's
with
us
for
our
secretary
to
let
you
know
that
we
do
have
new
commissioners
who
will
be
joining
us
next
month,
so
we
did
have
three
new
folks
who
were
approved
this
morning
by
city
council.
We
just
found
out.
We
should
have
a
fourth
person
joining
us,
we're
waiting
on
that
hearing
and
as
soon
as
the
city
gets
us
official
word
and
contact
information
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
onboard
those
new
commissioners.
A
A
B
A
Okay,
we
do
have
quorum,
so
we
can
conduct
business
which
is
marvelous.
The
first
thing
that
we
will
do
is
read
any
submitted
public
testimony
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
approving
the
minutes.
Do
we
have
anything
that
needs
to
be
read
from
the
public
at
this
time?.
C
A
Okay,
remember
feel
free
to
email.
Us
anew
is
keeping
track
of
our
email.
Appreciate
that
okay,
we
do
have
minutes
and
thank
you
so
much
kalani
for
mailing,
both
the
may
and
june
minutes
to
us.
I
can't
drop
the
link
into
the
chat
since
we
no
longer
have
the
chat
feature,
but
hopefully
everybody
had
a
chance
to
see
those
in
the
email
that
kalani
sent
again.
A
A
So
any
questions
or
amendments
or
additions
to
the
may
may
we
will
take
may
first
the
may
meeting
minutes
and
if
not,
I
just
need
a
motion
to
approve
those.
D
A
Second,
from
lee
all
those
in
favor
approving
them
may
minutes
hi
any
opposed.
Okay.
Thank
you
may
minutes
are
approved.
A
Let's
take
a
quick
look
at
the
june
minutes
again
colonies,
doing
a
marvelous
job
with
these
appreciate
it
any
amendments
or
additions
to
the
june
minutes.
A
A
A
Okay,
moving
on
to
our
agenda,
we've
got
just
some
administrative
updates
and
report
backs.
First
up
is
anew
with
the
executive
directors
report.
C
So
sorry,
I
I've
got
my
email
up
and
I
just
need
to
pull
up
my
documents
and
unmute
myself
and
that's
all
good.
So
of
course
the
exciting
news
is
that
the
appointments
process,
the
mayor,
recommended
four
people
for
appointment.
C
Three
of
them
were
approved
this
morning
by
city,
council,
morgan,
overton,
alyssa,
hall
and
diamante
walker,
and
I
think
because
of
the
scheduling
of
the
interview,
sharon
higginbotham
that
will
be
interviewed
tomorrow,
and
hopefully
we
should
know
by
next
week,
and
so
I
expect
that
we
will
have
four
new
commissioners
very
excited
about
that
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
you
all
meeting
and
connecting
with
them.
There
is
an
invitation
for
commissioners,
the
haifa
in
israel.
C
The
gender
equity
plan
is
having
a
conference
in
september,
they've
invited
mayor
prosuto
to
participate
virtually
and
there'll,
be
a
planning
call.
So
if
you
want
to
learn
about
some
of
the
work
happening
in
another
part
of
the
world,
they're
been
looking
at
our
city
as
rick
said
earlier
there,
it's
a
lot
of
international
interest
and
donna
mertenbaum
who
is
the
director
in
haifa,
has
read
the
gender
equity
report
from
september.
I
think
she
said
four
times
in
a
row.
C
She
stayed
up
all
night
when
she
first
saw
it
and
so
just
to
say
that
there
is
real
excitement
and-
and
they
know
that
this
is
the
start,
that
we
were
doing
an
environmental
scan.
But
I
wanted
to
say
that,
if
you're
interested
in
joining
us
july
31st
at
noon
on
zoom,
let
me
know
and
just
to
learn
about
what's
happening
in
a
different
part
of
the
world.
C
C
I
created
a
signature
file
I'll
put
that
in
our
shared
folders
that,
if
you're
communicating
with
people-
and
you
want
to
have
a
way
to
reflect
that
you're
on
the
gender
equity
commission
just
to
make
that
available
to
you,
you
can
ask
me
about
it
at
any
time
since,
where
we
had
business
cards
made
for
all
of
you,
that
said
gender
equity.
But
since
we're
not
going
anywhere
handing
anyone
our
business
cards,
I
wanted.
C
Digital
way
to
say:
hey,
I'm
here
from
the
gender
equity
commission.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
representing.
I
just
want
to
make
that
a
little
easier
one
of
the
super
exciting
things
that's
happening
this
summer
and
it's
starting
internally,
you've
all
been
hearing
about
the
use
of
the
un
sustainable
development
goals
that
we've
become
one
of
the
cities
in
the
u.s.
C
That's
really
trying
to
do
work
on
implementing
the
human
rights
principles
in
local
government
and
doing
a
voluntary
local
review,
so
the
first
part
of
that
is
to
find
out
what
is
happening
in
the
city.
So
I've
been
helping
to
moderate
conversations.
I
have
learned
so
much
I
mean
I
will
tell
when
we,
the
city
department
committee,
gets
back
together.
I'll
have
some
things
to
fill
you
in
about
that
really
wonderful
work
to
uphold
human
rights
is
happening,
including
things
like
urban
agriculture.
C
I
know,
commissioner
gross
will
be
excited
to
hear
about
that
food
distribution,
thinking
about
digital
equity,
thinking
about
housing,
thinking,
someone
who
joined
one
of
the
conversations
works
for
the
parking
authority,
so
thinking
about
equity
everywhere,
and
so
the
sdg
work
will
be
engaging
the
public.
So
we
can
find
out.
C
You
know
you
all
remember
that
the
gender
equity
commission
was
created
as
part
of
a
cities
for
cedaw
movement,
so
our
own
existence
is
very
much
linked
to
the
un
and
a
model
that
everyone
deserves
human
rights
and
that
we're
really
focused
as
and
we
will
be
partnering
with
the
newly
created
lgbtq
ia
plus
commission
for
the
city
to
make
sure
that
gender,
gender
inclusion,
sexual
orientation
identity
that
those
human
rights
are
also
upheld.
C
So
that
work
is
to
be
really
exciting,
and
I
look
forward
to
reporting
out
to
you
more
as
that
develops.
But
in
our
work
is
slow
and
there
is
a
lot
of
effort
been
put
in
by
many
many
commissioners
and
I
think
we're
all
at
times
amazed
by
how
bureaucracy
is
very,
very
slow,
as
as
commissioner
gross
also
mentioned
last
month.
C
But
these
are
some
some
real
signs
remember
about
how
the
gender
equity
commission
is
changing
very
slowly,
but
changing
the
culture
of
how
city
departments,
city
personnel,
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
people
asking
for
questions.
Asking
me
questions
asking
me
about
the
gender
equity
commission
asking
what
we
mean
when
we
say
gender
in
an
intersectional
lens.
C
A
At
faces
and
looking
for
little
hands
up,
okay,
I
don't
see
any
questions.
Thank
you,
anu
very
much
for
that
and
we're
going
to
circle
back
around
to
a
couple
of
the
things
that
anew
mentioned
momentarily.
I
think
in
some
of
the
committee
reports.
A
The
executive
committee
has
nothing
new
to
report
back.
We
have
been
meeting
faithfully
and
talking
a
lot
about
meeting
formats,
as
you
can
tell,
and
really
paused
this
last
month
to
have
a
very
intentional
conversation
about
how
our
gender
equity
work
aligns
and
comes
up
alongside
and
connects
with
anti-racism
work.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
wanted
to
put
that
whole
question
in
front
of
you
all.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that.
A
Just
to
give
you
a
quick
report
back
on
the
results
of
that
poll,
we
had
four
people
who
felt
that
we
really
ought
to
pause
and
have
some
more
intentional
dialogue
around
that
particular
question
and
eight
people
who
said
we
could
probably
wait
to
have
more
of
that
conversation
until
we
have
some
official
training
we
mentioned
earlier
that
the
city
does
gear
training
and
our
executive
director
is
looking
into
potentially
figuring
out.
How
to
get
us
some
of
that
training
as
a
commission,
so
it
looks
like
collectively.
A
The
majority
has
voted
to
wait
until
we
have
their
training
offered
to
us.
But
again
we
can
come
back
to
this
discussion.
This
is
not
the
end
end
of
it
and
the
leadership
development
committee,
I
know,
has
some
plans
in
the
work
to
talk
to
us
about
a
potential
retreat
where
we
could
have
some
more
conversation.
So
I
don't
want
anybody
to
feel
that
we
are
never
going
to
have
a
discussion
of
the
way
that
these
things
come
into
alignment,
but
we
do
appreciate
everybody
responding
to
that
poll
question.
A
That's
what
your
executive
committee
has
been
talking
about
and,
of
course,
all
of
the
onboarding
of
new
members
and
how
we
want
to
do
that
and
we,
we
punted
that
decision
off
to
sabrina
and
her
committee.
So
she's
going
to
talk
about
that.
I
think
in
just
a
moment.
That's
really
our
report
back
from
the
executive
committee.
E
Not
really,
I
I'm
going
to
defer
speaking
about
the
gender
analysis,
because
I'm
sure
the
committee
can
speak,
you
know
more
directly
to
that
other
than
to
say
we
have
verbal
commitment
of
some
funding
support
there.
E
So
I
I'm
aware
that
we
have
a
couple
piecemeal
supports
for
funding,
but
something-
and
I
don't
know
if
mike
would
be
able
to
address
this
or
not,
but
I
I'm
just
not
certain-
is
there
anything
that
the
commission
or
a
new
might
know,
is
there
anything
that
we
need
to
be
doing
in
terms
of
the
2021
budget,
or
is
everything
on
hold
right
now?
C
So
sarah,
the
answer
is
that
we
should
be
starting
to
think
ahead
to
2022
and
that's
something
that
in
the
past
years
it's
been
you
as
a
treasurer
and
the
shifted
finance
committee,
and
we
should
be
asking
what
we've
done
in
the
past
years
is
around
this
time.
I
have
a
note
to
do
it
august
1st
in
my
calendar,
to
ask
commissioners
if
they
have
recommendations
for
our
budget
requests,
and
then
we
put
up
a
final
set
of
recommendations.
C
We
never
we
need.
It
would
be
useful
if
we
have
a
master
work
plan,
it's
how
the
pieces
fit
together
the
goals
and
objectives
which
was
started
earlier
this
year
kind
of
put
on
hold
in
march
april.
But
the
question
is:
should
you
and
I
start
that
process
and
then
we
can
bring
in
other
commissioners
as
needed?
I
know
that
the
finance
committee
may
no
longer
exist,
so
I'm
not
entirely
sure
about
that
piece.
A
Yeah,
we
didn't
have
an
actual
finance
committee.
We
had
obviously
a
treasurer
role
on
the
executive
committee,
but
this
has
been
an
ongoing
discussion
right.
Sarah,
since
we
don't
have
a
you,
know
budgetary
responsibility
of
what
we
might
have
if
we
were
a
non-profit
organization
right
yeah.
So
I
appreciate
that.
C
A
F
Thank
you
jesse,
so
amanda
and
lee,
and
I
had
a
a
telephone
conference
meeting
earlier
this
week
to
talk
about
several
things
related
to
onboarding
new
commissioners,
a
potential
retreat
coming
up
and
also
a
discussion
of
what
a
commissioner's
job
description
looks
like
so
at
this
point
in
time,
and
if
I'm
looking
off
just
because
I
have
my
notes
over
here
to
the
side,
but
we
discussed
a
list
of
suggested
materials
that
we
think
should
be
provided
to
new
commissioners
when
the
existing
commissioners
were
appointed
to
the
commission.
F
There
was
we
were
meeting
in
person
at
that
point,
and
everyone
was
provided
with
a
excellent
binder
that
had
information
in
it
that
we
thought
folks
needed
to
start
the
work
on
the
commission.
Although,
interestingly,
we
were
starting
at
point
zero.
F
So
a
lot
of
that
binder
was
just
left
with
space
to
fill
and
we've
really
filled
it
now
with
different
things
that
we
think
new
commissioners
should
have
access
to,
including
the
history
of
the
commission,
the
bylaws,
the
annual
report,
the
pittsburgh
inequity
report
and
a
calendar
and
meeting
schedule
for
the
commission
coming
up.
F
That's
just
some
examples
of
what
we
talked
about
and
lee
reached
out
to
anew
to
ask
her
to
start
collecting
that
information
in
a
new
responded
that
she
would
be
doing
that
so
we're
in
the
process
of
putting
that
all
together.
And
what
we've
thought
is
that
normally
we
would
have
suggested
that
we
meet
up
for
lunch
or
to
get
together
to
meet
the
new
commissioners.
F
Unfortunately,
we're
not
in
a
position
to
do
that,
so
the
thought
process
was
that
we
would
schedule
individual
zoom
meetings
or
a
new
commissioner
and
two
existing
commissioners,
perhaps
to
go
over
that
material
and
answer
any
questions
that
our
new
commissioners
do
have.
One
of
the
other
things
we
discussed
that
it
feels
like
some
of
the
obstacles
we
have
in
moving
forward
and
understanding.
Our
role
is
that
we
don't
all
start
at
the
same
point
in
understanding
local
city
government
and
the
way
that
it
works.
F
So
we
had
a.
We
briefly
talked
about
whether
or
not
we
should
have
a
training
on
that
and
amanda
provided
a
great
idea
that
there
is
a
training
that
many
of
city
employees
go
through
called
the
citizens.
F
I'm
sorry
citizens,
academy
training,
and
so
I
am
reaching
out
to
molly
onofer
in
the
city
to
see
if
we'd
be
able
to
get
a
copy
of
that
binder
of
the
training,
so
that
we
would
be
able
to
distribute
it
to
not
only
our
new
commissioners
but
our
existing
commissioners
just
to
review
whether
or
not
that
could
happen.
And
I
see
a
new
saying
something.
C
I
put
the
binder
in
our
shared
folder,
so
I
can
just
send
you
a
link
to
that.
Oh.
C
Is
now
the
communications
person
for
the
city,
not
the
head
of
the
cla,
but
so
I
can
give
you
all
that
information
just
so.
You
have
the
updates
and
make
sure
that
you
connect
with
the
right
people.
F
Okay,
wonderful
thanks!
You
know.
I
appreciate
that
the
thought
being
that
better
understanding
how
the
city
government
operates,
we
would
have
a
more
be
able
to
have
a
more
fluid
conversation
about
our
roles
and
what
we
can
and
cannot
do
as
a
commission
and
then
the
other
thing
that
we
discussed
was
the
was
possibly
having
a
retreat.
Again,
we
had
a
beautiful
retreat
at
a
beautiful
location
that
last
summer.
I
think
I'm
trying
to
think
of
the
time
frame.
Now
it
feels
like
a.
G
F
Ago-
and
I
don't
know
that
we'd
be
able
to
meet
in
person
at
any
foreseeable
time,
so
what
we
did
talk
about
was
what
a
comfortable
length
of
time
would
be
for
a
retreat
if
we
had
to
do
it
virtually,
and
the
discussion
of
the
group
was
that
perhaps
we
at
most
could
meet
for
a
three
hour
time
period
with
the
idea
being
that
we
discussed
two.
We
break
it
down
into
two
separate
topics
and
take
a
break
so
that
we
would
finish
with
one
topic:
take
a
break
and
start
another
topic.
F
We
all
felt
that
we
need
to
establish
clear
goals
and
directives
for
what
this
retreat
would
be,
that
it
wouldn't
just
be
a
gathering
to
talk
about
general
information
that
we
would
need
to
probably
have
we
would
need
not
probably,
we
would
need
to
have
a
facilitator
for
the
retreat,
as
we
did
the
first
time
and
we
would
need
to
establish
what
the
goals
and
objectives
of
that
retreat
were
before
we
even
started.
So
there
was
some
discussion
about
recommended
facilitators.
F
We
would
we
all
agreed
that
we
would
need
to.
We
need
and
should
pay
the
facilitator
for
their
time
and
work
that
it's
not
an
expected
volunteer
job
and
that
I
know
we
have
some
minimal
funds
available,
but
it
didn't
match
up
to
what
we
thought.
What
was
the
value
of
the
work
of
the
facilitator
facilitator?
F
So
we
could
talk
about
that
as
a
committee
and
so
based
on
what
the
goals
and
objectives
are,
then
we
can
better
decide
what
facilitator
would
best
fit
that
type
of
retreat
and
then
the
last
thing
is.
We
are
meeting
again
virtually
on
friday
to
finalize
or
more
finalize
a
job
description
for
commissioners,
so
we'll
be
able
to
provide
that
as
part
of
the
new
binder
that
we're
giving
to
the
new
commissioners.
So
that's
basically
what
we
discussed.
F
H
No,
you
didn't
know
something
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
jalissa,
however,
that
we're
sorry
we
didn't
start
with
you,
but
we
weren't
at
that
point,
so
we
will
be
following
up
with
you,
even
though
you've
been
here
for
a
while
just
so,
we
get
to
know
you
and
also
get
to
provide
you
with
some
of
that
information.
So
our
apologies
and
I
for
one
look
forward
to
getting
to
know
you
better.
F
I
wonder,
agree
yeah,
I
1000
agree
with
lee
and
like
many
things,
we've
started.
We
were
starting
at
zero,
so
we
we've
tried
to
put
these
things
together.
So
absolutely
that's.
That
is
our
goal.
To
start
there
so,
and
I
do
apologize
too
as
well.
A
B
Jesse
in
the
new
I
just
wanted
to
jump
in
that
I
got
a
call
from
janet
she's
sitting
in
the
waiting
area
to
be
let
in
I
don't
know
if
she's
in
already.
A
A
I
F
F
And
the
poll
was
helpful
to
sort
of
guide
us
a
little
bit.
I
think
on
the
objectives
of
the
retreat
and
and
what
we
were
prioritizing
there.
H
Yeah,
just
a
question
in
terms
of
you
know
our
new
commissioners
coming
on,
and
I
mean
we've
been
lucky
all
around
that
everybody
is
really
great
on
this,
but
we
do
have
some
positions
that
need
to
be
filled
specifically
in
our
ordinance.
Is
that
being
paid
attention
to
it
all?
Do
we
have
any
input
on
that.
C
It
is
absolutely
being
paid
attention
to
lee
so
that,
in
fact,
in
the
executive
director
report
it
identifies
which
positions
the
incoming
commissioners
are
filling.
B
C
In
there
and
I'm
working
very
closely
with
kirsh
and
the
mayor's
office,
he
so
the
person
who
used
to
be
in
charge
of
boards,
authorities
and
commissions
gloria
forzan
has
retired,
and
so
there
will
be
a
little
bit
of
time
while
the
new
person
hirsch
is
getting
up
to
speed.
But
he
and
I
are
working
very
closely
together
to
make
sure
that
the
ordinance
is
absolutely
being
met,
and
I
will
be
once
the
new
commissioners,
all
four
of
them
are
approved.
C
I
will
update
the
list
of
which
commissioners
spill,
which
roles
and
share
that
with
everyone.
So
you
have
the
most
updated
information.
A
All
right,
there
are
no
other
questions
for
our
governance
and
leadership
development.
We'll
move
on
to
the
gender
analysis
committee,
and
I
am
going
to
give
that
quick
report.
The
committee
did
have
a
chance
to
meet
and,
of
course,
our
our
chairs
were
kathy
and
megan
who
have
just
rolled
off
the
commission,
so
we
are
now
currently
without
a
chair.
A
I'm
going
to
be
twisting
some
arms
so
expect
that
coming
up
as
we
need
to
onboard
new
folks
into
the
committees,
I
think
the
intention
here
is
that
we
really
do
need
to
revitalize
all
of
our
committees
and
think
about
who
wants
to
be
on
committees,
and
obviously
this
one
is
going
to
need
a
chair.
So
that's
an
action
item
that
we
really
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
attend
to
today
unless
somebody
wants
to
volunteer.
A
So
if
you
do,
please
holler,
I
can't
see
your
faces
right
this
second,
because
I
am
reading
from
my
notes,
but
just
to
give
you
the
quick
overview
of
what's
going
on
with
our
gender
analysis.
You
heard
anew
say
the
very
good
news
that
we
do
have
and
in
fact,
sarah,
it's
no
longer
just
a
verbal
agreement.
We've
got
it
in
writing.
We
have
67
000,
which
was
the
22
000
budget,
plus
the
45
000
gender
analysis
budget.
So
we
put
those
dollars
figures
together
back
in
april.
A
A
We
talked
a
lot
in
our
committee
meeting
about
the
rfp
process
and
potentially
getting
a
consultant
who
would
help
us
with
this
work,
particularly
because
we're
using
this
community-based
participatory
research
model
and
kathy
actually
gave
us
some
suggestions.
We've
got
some
names
and
some
ideas
of
how
they
might
help
give
us
a
little
bit
of
support
as
we
move
through
the
process
of
getting
this
out.
That
would
require
some
budget,
so
the
committee's
been
talking
a
little
bit
about
what
that
would
require.
A
We
talked
a
lot
about
community
engagement.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
we
circled
back
to
the
community
members.
Who've
been
helping
us
to
this
point,
so
anew
did
send
a
message
out
to
everybody
who
was
on
our
mailing
list.
Remember
we
had
all
of
those
community
meetings,
so
people
have
been
signing
up
so
anu
has
communicated
with
those
folks.
A
You
should
all
have
received
a
copy
of
that
email,
so
you
should
be
in
the
loop
on
what
she
sent
and
we
do
want
to
share
the
rfp
with
the
community
group
to
get
their
feedback
when
the
timing
is
appropriate.
We
just
want
everybody
to
remember
that.
There's
a
process
and
we
have
to
be
very
intentional
and
give
a
lot
of
lead
time
and
work
with
the
office
of
omb
on
on
that.
A
A
A
So
that's
going
to
be
a
big
next
step,
but
we
want
to
have
the
chair
on
board
to
do
that
and
then
the
rfp
is
going
to
need
to
be
finalized
and
work
with
the
community
on
what
that
feedback
process
is
going
to
look
like
and
then
work
with
omb
on
getting
that
publicly
released.
So
those
are
the
next
steps
from
the
gender
analysis.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions.
A
Appreciate
that
committee's
work
too,
okay
and
it's
helpful
to
have
these
timelines-
I
really
appreciate
how
the
workforce
equity
group's
been
helping
us
put
these
very
intentional
timelines
together
super
useful
okay,
I
don't
see
any
questions,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
update
and
again
I
didn't
see
anybody
raise
their
hand
or
yell
about
being
chair
of
the
gender
analysis
committee,
so
be
prepared.
Everybody
next
month
we're
going
to
be
reorganizing
some
of
these
committees
and
twisting
some
arms
workforce
equity
committee.
Sarah,
would
you
like
to
give
us
some
updates
sure.
E
So
I
hope
that
everybody
had
a
chance
to
review
the
memo
that
our
committee
prepared
for
today's
meeting
just
to
highlight
a
couple
of
the
points
this
past
month,
we
paused
the
planning
of
our
workforce
equity
initiative
to
consider
some
key
questions,
including,
should
this
should
workforce
equity
be
a
priority
for
the
gender
equity
commission?
Right
now
is
pay
equity
still,
the
quote:
unquote
right
initial
focus
for
this
initiative
should
we
move
forward
and,
finally,
how
can
we
model
racial
equity
principles
in
the
design
of
the
initiative
in
the
project?
E
So
our
answer
to
the
first
two
questions
were
both:
yes,
that
it
is
a
priority
right
now,
because
work
and
by
extension,
workforce
equity,
is
essential
to
folks
livelihood
and
we're
all
deeply
aware
of
the
high
levels
of
inequality
that
persons
of
color
and
gender
diverse
individuals
will
experience
as
they
attempt
to
return
to
the
workplace
and
or
achieve
sustainable
wages
equal
to
or
better
than
what
they
had
before
the
pandemic
began.
So
these
are
all
you
can
see.
E
Of
course,
we
had
more
points
around
the
details
of
that,
but
largely
we're.
Looking
at
this,
as
it's
a
it's,
an
a
major
equity
issue,
it's
going
to
continue
to
be
a
major
issue.
It's
also
a
sustainability
issue,
and
it
has,
of
course,
implications
for
the
economic
health
of
our
entire
region.
So,
for
all
these
reasons,
we're
saying
yes,
we
want
to
keep
working
on
this,
of
course,
with
pay
equity.
Our
aim
has
never
been
to
focus
entirely
on
pay
equity.
E
It's
our
starting
point
so
and
of
course,
we
are
working
to
intentionally
be
intersectional
from
the
beginning,
so
we
talked
about
how
aaw
worksmart
is
certainly
not
the
be
all
end-all,
training
solution
for
for
women
and
other
gender
diverse
individuals
to
gain
these
negotiation
skills.
E
It's
not
going
to
solve
everything,
but
we
certainly
see
it
as
an
important
step
and
an
important
value
add
for
all
the
workforce,
development
that
is
happening
right
now
in
the
region
so,
and
we
in
terms
of
connecting
that
to
racial
equity,
it
again
we
we
are
committed
to
ensuring
that
that
curriculum
includes
wage
and
wealth
gap,
data
that
is
desegregated
by
race
and
by
gender
and
that
it
it
covers
those
things
holistically
and
comprehensively
on
the
talent,
compact
and
the
and
the
workforce,
equity
council
side
of
things.
E
So
looking
more
at
the
systems
level
work,
I
I
want
to
add
to
our
memo
that
we've
been
receiving
some
resources
from
folks
lately,
which
have
been
very
helpful,
rick
and
jesse
shared,
for
example,
the
bloomberg
gender
equality
index,
which
is
another
set
of
metrics
for
looking
at
workforce
equity
among
employers
and
so
right
now,
in
addition
to
a
whole
host
of
other
resources,
we've
been
reading
we're
looking
at.
How
can
we
pull
in
some
of
those
questions
as
we're
creating
this,
this
data
collection
instrument
for
employers?
So
so
we
are.
E
We
welcome,
if
folks
have
other
workforce
equity
resources
that
you
want
us
to
read
be
aware
of
connect
to.
We
certainly
welcome
folks
to
send
that
our
way
and
thank
you
to
all
the
folks
who
have
already
sent
things
to
us.
E
We
are
just
today
a
new
invited
us
to
connect
with
the
corporate
equity
and
inclusion
roundtable,
which
we've
long
felt,
is
a
very
important
partnership
as
well,
so
we're
starting
to
look
at
connecting
with
some
external
partners,
and
so
our
goal,
as
we've
said
before,
is
to
put
all
of
this
in
a
very
clearly
written
document
for
the
gec
to
review
at
our
august
meeting
on
the
racial
equity
principle
side
as
well.
We
we
read,
and
it
was
attached
so
folks
can
see
this.
E
As
a
committee,
we
agreed
that
the
steps
that
they
outlined,
the
seven
steps
seem
like
a
great
guideline
for
us
and
each
of
those
steps
includes
several
assessment,
oriented
questions
that
you
can
ask
around
the
project
to
guide
the
various
pieces
as
you're
putting
them
in
place,
so
we've
committed
to
using
that
document
as
a
guideline
for
our
work
moving
forward.
E
So
that
will
be
a
piece
of
our
of
the
paper
that
we
will
present
in
in
august
as
well,
and
the
final
update
that
I
have
around
this
is
that
we
did
hear
back
from
aauw
national
regarding
the
revisions
that
we
asked
about
to
the
contract.
So
we
just
received
their
response
back,
and
so
we
will
be
reviewing
that
and
we'll
include
that
in
our
august
paper
as
well.
E
A
Any
questions
and
sarah,
as
always
thank
you
to
this
group
janet.
Thank
you
amanda.
Thank
you
really
great
work,
and
I
appreciate
how
you've
documented
all
of
your
steps
and
brought
so
many
resources
to
us.
I
E
It's
annie
e
casey
foundation.
They
put
out
a
document
entitled
embracing
equity,
seven
steps
to
advance
and
embed
race,
equity
and
inclusion
within
your
organization.
For
folks
you
can,
you
can
easily
google
it
and
find
it.
The
heinz
endowment
also
has
heinz
and
dominance.
Also
has
it
on
their
list
of
equity
resources
for
folks
that
might
be
looking
to
access
it
who
are
listening
in
today,
and
then
it
is
also
available
in
our
shared
drive.
E
C
I
B
I
also
sit
on
the
corporate
equity
inclusion,
roundtable
working
group
and
I
had
introduced
this
workforce
initiative
that
the
gender
equity
commission
is
doing
because
they
have
mentioned
about
the
report
and
they
had
some
negative
views
about
the
report,
like
everyone
else
had
once
they
read
it
and
just
get
the.
B
I
guess
the
cliff
notes
of
the
report,
but
not
the
content
of
the
report
in
its
entirety,
and
I
said
we
have
a
number
of
initiatives
that
are
going
on,
so
I
mentioned
to
them
that
they
have
their
annual
event
coming
up
and
is
it
possible
for
the
corporate
excuse
me
for
the
gender
equity
commission
to
make
a
presentation
about
some
of
the
initiatives
that
the
commission
is
doing
and
I've
shared
this
with
with
with
jesse
and
I've
shared
this
with
lee.
B
A
lot
of
people
are
going
ahead
and
mentioning
the
report
and
not
really
understanding
that
there
was
a
commission
that
commissioned
the
report
and
there's
action
and
action
items
that
we're
doing
and
initiatives
that
we're
doing
to
further
the
work.
So
this
will
be
another
stage
for
us
to
be
able
to
share
the
work
and
the
initiatives.
The
multiple
initiatives
that
we're
doing-
and
this
is
just
one
of
them-
just
wanted
to
share
that.
Thank.
A
A
I
know
we're
going
to
see
a
big
paper.
It's
like
you've
got
a
really
big
homework
project
due
for
next
month.
Yes,
I
appreciate
that
you're
working
hard
on
that
term
paper
that
we're
all
going
to
take
a
look
at-
and
I
know
august-
is
you
know
when
a
lot
of
people
go
away.
So
we
do
appreciate,
if
everybody
make
sure
you
set
aside
a
little
bit
of
time
to
prep
for
that
meeting,
because
we
really
want
you
to
have
a
chance
to
dive
into
that
that
paper.
A
This
committee
has
been
working
really
hard
and
thought
it
would
be
the
best
use
of
your
time
to
kind
of
pull
it
together
into
a
white
paper
and
then
share
it
with
you.
I
do
appreciate
that.
A
The
city
department,
analysis
committee.
This,
of
course,
we've
got
mike
as
our
head
we've
been
intentionally
on
hiatus
with
this
committee
for
the
last
couple
of
months,
we
decided
that
as
a
full
commission
to
put
our
energies
into
some
of
the
other
things
we
were
working
on
and
so
mike.
A
I
know
that
you've
you've
been
in
intentionally
on
hiatus,
and
so
we
weren't
expecting
a
report,
but
I
think
the
big
question
before
us,
if
you
are
willing
to
lead
us
in
a
little
conversation,
is
it
is
now
the
time
do
we
want
to
re-energize
this
group?
Do
you
have
some
thoughts
for
us
and
if
so,
what
do
we
want
to
work
on.
J
Yeah,
I
know
we
were
temporarily
on
hold
for
a
couple
months
until
we
could
meet
in
person
again,
but
we
may
need
to
be
prepared
that
we're
not
going
to
be
meeting
in
person
again
until
next
summer,
so
I
personally
hate
these
zoom
meetings
and
get
nothing
of
value
out
of
them.
So
if
someone
else
is
in
charge
of
this,
maybe
they'd
be
plowing
ahead
meeting
with
department
directors
over
the
internet.
I
I
am
not
the
one
who's
going
to
be
doing
that.
A
The
format's
hard
there
is
no
question,
you
know
and
there's
nothing
like
being
able
to
just
go
into
somebody's
office
and
get
to
know
them.
This
is
tough
yeah.
I
welcome
everybody's
thoughts.
You're
very
welcome
to
unmute.
If
you
want
to
wave
your
hand
if
you've
got
a
comment,
I
mean.
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
conversation
to
have
now
like
this.
I
saw
deb
and
then
kalani.
K
So
yeah
before
we
had
to
all
stay
at
home,
we
had
this
really
nicely
organized
kind
of
gantt
chart
of
what
was
going
to
happen
in
what
order,
and
it's
just
unfortunately,
kind
of
like
just
parked
right,
maybe
one
day
we'll
get
back
to
that.
So
I
won't
fail
to
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
gender-based
budgeting
and
the
fact
that
that
is
also
the
work
of
looking
in
each
department,
which
is
slightly
different
from
the
approach
we
were
going
to
take
of
like
departmental
engagement.
K
But
I
just
can't
help,
but
mention
that
you
know
we
have
intense
citizen
engagement.
That
is
way
above
and
beyond
a
normal
year
in
interest
in
what
is
the
city
budget
and
what
are
we
doing
with
it?
And
so
I
don't.
I
think
we
shouldn't
miss
the
opportunity
to
engage
in
that
conversation,
especially
given
our
principles
about
how
what
do
we
title
that
document
that
we
just
normal,
the
new
normal
right
and
the
you
know,
child
care
issues,
the
universal
basic
income,
the
disaggregated
data
stuff.
K
This
is
all
relevant
to
what
we're
going
to
fund
in
for
each
city
department
in
each
budget,
so
whether
you
know
we've
heard
from
departments
that
they
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
disaggregation,
let's
fund
it
right.
Let's
ask
that
that
be
prioritized
in
a
city
budget.
That's
an
easy
one.
The
really
big,
tough
ones
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
are,
you
know.
K
Are
we
going
to
reorganize
the
city
budget
to
not
spend
you
know
20
of
it
on
policing,
and
that
means
moving
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
from
what
we've
always
done
to
what
we
think
we
should
do
and
that's
kind
of
where
our
daily
conversation
is
with
city
residents
right
now
right.
I
continue.
I
get
emails
every
day.
You
know
don't
do
this
capital
project,
don't
move
the
zone.
Five
I've
gotten
flooded
in
the
last
week.
K
Don't
move
the
zone
5
police
station
from
washington
boulevard
to
east
liberty,
so
I
mean
that's
like
that's
an
example.
K
The
citizens
are
doing
their
own
analysis
of
our
city,
both
operating
and
capital
budgets
and
expressing
their
opinions
in
a
much
greater
detail
and
higher
level
than
anyone
else,
and
so
I
think
it's
incumbent
on
the
commission
to
you
know,
engage
in
that
work
as
well
and-
and
that
is
kind
of
you
know,
looking
at
city
department
by
city
department
too,
so
certainly
where
we're
spending
a
lot
of
our
time
on
on
city
council,
we
have
a
public
hearing
at
six
o'clock
tonight
on
policing
issues.
K
We
had
a
public
hearing
on
saturday
on
the
12
on
policing
issues.
I
have
a
link
that
I
can't
share
with
no
chat
room
to
the
three-hour
post
agenda
that
maybe
some
of
you
attended
or
or
have
seen
that
was
on
policing
issues
with
probably
12
participants
that
I
I
recommend
to
people.
I
think
I
did
show
that
link
to
to
jessie
individually
on
a
text
message,
but
it's
covered
covered
like
baby
steps
right.
The
police
are,
like
you
know,
ted
were
there
and
said
like
here:
are
the
reforms
we've
done?
K
We
could
do
more
of
those
to
interim
things
like
shifting
lots
and
lots
of
money
to
kind
of
crisis
and
violence
interventions,
the
kind
of
social
workers
on
the
scene
to
let's
make
deep
fundamental
changes
and
actually
fund
the
root
causes
of
inequality
and
inequities
in
the
city,
like
you
know,
housing
and
poverty,
so
it
really
had
a
good
gamut
of
speakers
presenting
on
different
perspectives.
Like
I
said
from,
like
tiny,
you
know:
police
training
to
economic
justice.
K
I
had
kind
of
like
everything
along
the
gamut,
so
that's
that's
a
possibility
for
this
committee.
I'll
just
say.
L
Mike
this
is
janet
just
a
thought.
There
are
some
heads
of
departments
for
the
city
that
still
come
in
daily.
I
can
help
you
reach
out
to
them
and
schedule
some
time
I'll.
Even
let
you
use
the
conference
room
in
hr,
which
is
huge.
It's
more
than
six
feet
distance.
L
I've
got
masks
for
everybody
if
you
want
to
have
like
a
one-on-one,
but
there
are
some
heads
of
departments
that
still
come
in
and
if
they
know
about
this,
some
of
them
may
just
make
the
trip
in
just
to
speak
to
you
in
person
versus
doing
it
over
zoom.
But
there
are
some
heads
of
departments
for
the
city
that
do
come
in
and
I'm
certain.
If
you
alert
them,
they
could
put
it
in
their
schedule.
Use
conference
room
445.,
it's
you
know.
A
Thank
you
janet,
that's
helpful.
You
know,
and
particularly
if
this
committee
gets
re-energized
and
decides
that
it
wants
to
move
forward,
and
I
think
that
you
know
the
the
big
question
precisely
is
you
know,
do
we
want
to
move
forward
with
the
old
chart
and
the
old
strategic
plan
that
we
had
or
do
we
want
to
rethink
what
we're
doing?
I
just
heard
deb,
you
know
describing
some
opportunities
here
really
around
the
gender
budgeting
that
we
might
really
want
this
committee
to
pursue.
I
Okay,
I'm
just
writing
down
what
you
just
said:
jesse,
okay,
so
maybe
I'm
not
clear
on
why
we
stopped
doing
this
committee
because
I
was
under
the
impression
that
we
stopped
doing
it
because
once
we
saw
how
difficult
it
might
be
to
get
that
disaggregated
data
from
the
department
it's
kind
of
like
we
were
like
well,
oh
well,
and
then
we
kind
of
just
push
it
to
the
side
of
it.
Maybe
I'm
confused.
I
didn't
know
it
was
because
we
couldn't
meet
in
person.
I
I
have
repeatedly
said
how
important
I
think
that
this
particular
committee
is
because
if
we
are
hired
or
not
hired,
because
none
of
us
are
getting
paid,
let's
remind
the
public,
but
if
we
are,
if
we
have
been
appointed
to
do
the
work,
basically
we're
like
the
the
the
the
for
lack
of
a
better
term
cheerleading
squad
of
gender
equity
for
the
mayor's
office
and
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
so
we
literally
as
a
group
and
with
our
community
partners,
tell
them
how
we
can
be
a
better
city
related
to
gender
equity.
I
With
that
said,
I
I
do
think
that
we
should
start
back
up
as
a
committee,
and
I
don't
think
that
we
should
let
like
distance.
You
know,
hinder
anything
because
zoom
is
our
life
now
and
I'm,
as
I've
said
before,
I'm
more
than
able
and
willing
to
be
a
a
big
part
of
that
just
because
I
simply
think
that
this
is
work.
That's
important.
I
We
want
to
save
everything
and
do
everything
at
once,
and
I
think
that
has
been
both
our
it's
been
a
double-edged
war
for
us,
and
so
I
think
that
when
it
comes
to
the
city
department,
I
know
that
budget
is
big
with
city
council
right
now,
and
I
know
that
you
know
all
these
things
covet.
I
Everything
is
going
on,
but
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
very
specific
goal
when
it
comes
to
departments
like
if
it's
going
to
be
disaggregate
your
data,
because
we
need
to
understand
like
where
we're
sitting
right
now
as
far
as
gender
equity
in
the
city,
then
that's
what
we
need
to
be
pushing
and
we
need
to
stick
to
that
thing.
I
don't
want
to
really
switch
to
like
focusing
on
budgets
now
like
because
that's
not
what
we
were
talking
about
before
jesse
you
had
said:
ask
the
question.
I
The
big
question
is:
do
we
want
to
stick
with
our
original
plan
or
do
we
want
to
create
a
whole
new
one,
and
I
honestly
think
that
getting
the
basis
of
where
just
to
understand
where
we
are
as
a
city
related
to
the
city
department
and
how
the
gender
equity
commission
pushes
the
city
towards
certain
goals,
we
need
to
understand
what
the
data
is
and
so
for
me,
I
think,
pushing
just
disaggregated.
Data
is
probably
level
number
one
so
that
that's
just
my
my
little
two
cents
and
yeah.
A
Thanks
yeah
and
that
actually
connects
with
the
question
we're
going
to
talk
about
in
just
a
few
minutes
around
what
we
want
to
prioritize
from
our
own
policy
recommendation.
So
we
might
be
thinking
about
these
things
simultaneously,
just
to
remind
everybody,
the
members
of
the
city
department,
analysis
committee,
of
course,
mike,
has
been
our
very
valuable
chair
of
that
committee.
Colony,
of
course
serves
on
this
committee,
deb,
rick
and
sabrina
and
myself.
A
So
what
I'm
hearing
is
some
some
sense
from
all
of
you
that
we
would
like
this
committee
to
reboot
get
going
again.
This
is
certainly
colony,
as
you
just
said,
one
of
the
primary
objectives.
It's
actually
in
our
ordinance
that
this
is
the
work
of
the
commission.
So
we
absolutely
do
need
to
be
doing
this,
but
there
was
was
very
difficult,
obviously
back
in
march,
when
we
all
got
sent
home
and
started
working
on
some
other
things
for
the
last
couple
of
months,
including
our
policy
recommendations.
A
So
perhaps
I
could
suggest
then,
as
chair
to
ask
the
committee
to
meet
and
we
have
a
couple
of
questions
to
sit
before
us,
and
I
know
I
see
your
hand
as
well
just
a
second,
but
if,
if
this
committee
would
be
willing
to
meet
and
consider
take
a
look
at
the
existing
strategic
plan
that
big
spreadsheet
and
you
know,
ask
the
question:
is
this
the
path
forward
or
do
we
want
to
add
gender-based
budgeting?
Do
we
want
to
rethink
how
we
were
moving
forward?
A
We
had
very
intentionally
plotted
out
just
to
remind
everybody
and
jalisa.
If
you
haven't
seen
this
there's
a
big
spreadsheet
of
all
the
city
departments
and
we'd
organized
them
into
sessions
like
we
wanted
to
meet
with
a
bunch
of
the
departments
in
group
one
and
then
in
group,
two
and
in
group
three
to
be
very
intentional
about
moving
through
the
departments.
A
C
So
I
think
this
goes
back
to
sabrina's
point
about
understanding
how
city
government
works,
and
so
just
when
kalani
was
speaking,
I
think
the
sense
was
that
the
commission
isn't
having
those
conversations,
but
I'm
having
those
conversations
all
the
time
with
my
colleagues.
So
the
question
is
how
to
update
the
guide
that
was
created.
Last
fall,
it's
a
guide
of
discussion
questions.
What
to
ask
departments
like!
C
I
think
that
would
be
the
document
that
the
commission
can
work
on
and,
as
jessie
said,
that
one
of
the
policy
recommendations
is
for
disaggregated
data
to
set
up
a
format
for
if
commissioners
meet
with
departments.
What
kind
of
productive
conversation
would
look
like
in
the
aftermath
of
covid
and
after
the
civic
unrest,
but
just
to
say
that
I
was
mentioning
earlier
the
vlr
meetings
about
the
sdgs
that
we
actually
talked
about
disaggregated
data,
so
the
work
is,
is
being
done.
C
The
question
is:
how
does
the
commission
hope
to
sit
down
with
members
of
city
departments
and
what
kind
of
tools
or
resources
can
we
give
them
to
help
them
with
disaggregated
data?
So
they
know.
The
word
is
out
that
we
want
this
aggregated
data,
but
beyond
saying
that
to
someone
in
a
meeting,
what
does
the
commission
want
to
offer?
Do
we
have
examples
that
we
could
use
and
so
like
once
again,
I
think
last
year,
a
whole
set
of
questions
and
timelines,
and
even
how
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
department
was
created.
C
Well,
I
I'm
I'm
using
the
policy
recommendations,
I'm
always
highlighting
those
policy
recommendations
and
one
of
the
top
ones
is
collect
disaggregated
data.
So
I'm
always
emphasizing
the
things
that
are
in
the
policy
recommendations
document.
But
yes,
I
mean
I'm
having
meetings
employed
to
employee
but
the
for
me.
It's
always
amplifying
the
message.
That's
in
the
documents
that
the
commission
has
created,
including
the
policy
recommendations,
but
once
again,
I
think
that
it
makes
sense
to
go
back
to
those
meetings.
A
A
Okay,
are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions.
B
B
I
think
we
used
it
in
some
of
our
materials,
so
I
agree
with
kalani
in
regards
to
yes,
we
need
the
disaggregated
data
and
also
we
need
to
have
those
conversations,
because
they
help
us
kind
of
move
the
agenda
internally
far
as
our
city
departments
are
concerned,
and
it
was
also
used
as
kind
of
a
recruitment
tool,
because
the
ordinance
does
ask
for
involvement
with
city
departments
as
well
as
all
of
us
that
serve
on
the
commission,
so
that
is
kind
of
like
a
threefold
process
for
us
to
engage
the
the
different
departments.
A
All
right:
well,
it
looks
like
this
committee's
got
its
work
cut
out
for
for
it,
but
we
have
new
members
coming
on
board,
so
hopefully
we
can
also
re-energize
and
grab
some
books
and
twist
arms
and
sabrina.
A
I
forgot
to
mention
to
you
that
jalisa
has
volunteered
to
be
on
the
governance
committee,
thanks,
melissa,
yeah,
so
you've
got
you
got
a
new
member
for
that
group,
so
make
sure
you
put
her
on
the
list
for
friday
see
if
that
works
for
her
appreciate
that
yeah
well,
this
is
actually
a
really
good
segue
if
we
could
sort
of
move
into
the
next
section
of
the
agenda,
because
the
big
question
before
us
around
the
policy
recommendations
that
we've
made
was
specifically
you
know
to
have
us
thinking
about
where
we
want
to
focus
next
and
next
step,
so
barring
any
other
hands
up
we're
thinking
about
the
department
analysis
committee
meeting
and
thank
you
again
mike,
we
will
get
that
scheduled.
A
Let's
take
a
look
at
the
next
agenda
item
and
we're
doing
great
on
time
by
the
way,
thanks
everybody
for
your
help
today,
so
we're
looking
at
the
policy
recommendations
and
what
potentially
we
want
to
focus
on
just
to
let
you
know,
we've
had
some
really
great
community
conversations
already
about
these
policy
recommendations,
and
I
think
something
that
rick
mentioned
earlier
is
really
important.
To
remember.
A
Like
we're,
our
work
gets
a
lot
of
conversation,
but
I
don't
know
that
people
are
really
hearing
as
much
about
these
policy
recommendations
or
they
don't
put
the
things
together
or
people.
Don't
understand
that
you
know
there
are
some
next
steps
being
taken.
So
I
appreciate
the
attempt
to
connect
our
work
back
in
the
fall
with
these
policy
recommendations.
Now
so
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
amanda
and
I
had
a
really
wonderful
conversation
with
the
holocaust
center
of
pittsburgh.
A
They
hosted
us
for
an
online
conversation,
amanda
knocked
it
out
of
the
park
and
that's
available
as
a
recording
if
anybody's
interested
in
looking
at
it.
We
actually
just
walked
through
the
policy
recommendations
and
had
about
an
hour
and
a
half
conversations,
and
I
understand
that
over
500,
maybe
600
people
tuned
in
to
see
that.
So
that
was
a
really
nice
community
conversation
and
then
just
this
last
week,
jaleesa
and
I
did
a
session
with
grant
makers
of
southwestern
pennsylvania
and
they
loved
jalisa.
A
So
much
they're
having
her
come
back
to
moderate
a
panel
and
do
a
two-part
series.
Oh
yes,
which
is
fabulous.
In
fact,
they
really
were
very
taken
with
the
town
hall
that
we
put
together
back
in
april
that
this
group
did-
and
they
are
going
to
specifically
for
that
panel-
ask
our
panelists
from
ours,
our
panelists
from
the
town
hall,
to
come
back
and
report
back
to
them
as
a
little
bit
of
an
update
that
sessions
not
going
to
be
open
to
the
public.
A
The
one
that
julius-
and
I
just
did
was
to
I
think
about
40,
about
40,
grant
makers,
lots
of
program
officers
from
all
of
the
major
foundations.
It
was
a
really
great
session
and
what,
if
I
could
just
sort
of
tie
those
two
public
present?
You
know
presentations
together
what
we're
hearing
a
lot
of
questions
about
our
policy
work
is
everybody
wants
to
know.
So
what
are
you
going
to
do?
First?
What's
next,
you
know
what
what
order?
A
What's
the
most
important
thing,
we're
getting
a
lot
of
those
questions,
so
this
is
perhaps
a
good
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
chance
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
together
for
the
next
couple
of
minutes,
we've
already
heard
lots
of
people
mention
that
very
first
recommendation
around.
What's
actually
not
the
first
recommendation,
it
is
our
second
recommendation,
because
the
first
one-
and
we
all
talked
about
this
quite
a
bit-
was
addressing
police
violence.
So
I
don't
want
to
suggest
that
that's
not
our
first.
A
It
was
our
first
for
a
very
good
reason,
but
the
disaggregated
data
has
come
up.
So
this
is
an
open
question.
Open
discussion.
Is
there
something
you
all
would
like
to
see
worked
on
as
the
very
next
step?
Is
there
something
that
you've
been
hearing
from
community
members?
A
How
would
you
like
to
proceed
with
some
of
these
policy
recommendations?
Obviously,
understanding
it
is
not
our
job
as
a
commission
to
implement
these,
but
to
work
with
city
council
and
to
work
with
the
mayor's
office
and
we've
not
yet
heard
back
from
the
mayor's
office.
I
should
have
started
there.
We
are
going
to
hear
something
formal.
They
promised
us
a
formal
response
and
deb.
I
think
we
were
going
to
meet
with
the
women's
caucus
on
city
council.
So
we've
not
heard
anything
formal
back
from
city
council
either.
K
K
A
relentless
a
relentless
record
here,
but
when
you
say
working
with
council
and
that
we've
been
trying
for
three
years
to
work,
you
know
with
city
bodies.
City
council's
responsibility
is
the
budget
yeah.
So
that's
that
means,
if
you
want
to
work
with
city
council,
the
work
is
working
with
the
budget,
so
especially
around
her
call
this
morning
was
around
capital
projects,
and
I
we
feel
like
there's
a
real
opportunity
since
we're
doing
so
much
more
in
terms
of
capital
projects.
You've
heard
me
talk
before
about
topics
like
our
snowplow
sexist.
K
Does
it
matter
where
we
put
street
lighting?
Does
it
matter
where
we're
investing
in
things
from
sidewalks?
How
about
lead
water
service
line
replacements?
These
things
can
have
an
investment
in
the
you
know,
intersectionally,
like
especially
where
black
women
live
and
especially
meeting
their
needs
or
not.
K
Those
are
both
two
different
kinds
of
capital
budget
expenditures
and
we
have
the
money
but
which
one
will
we
do
so
that
is
that
that
is
the
work
in
front
of
us,
this
this
budget
season
that
and
we
will
have
a
budget
that
we
vote
on
by
december
31st
because
that's
the
law,
so
I
said
I'd
be
happy
to
bring
it
up
and
I
always
bring
it
up.
K
But
if
we
want
to
talk
about
some
of
that
offline
about
like
how
you
know
how
much
capacity
we
have
to
do
that
or
how
many
commissioners
have
the
time
and
energy
to
do
that.
Or
you
know
what
that
looks
like
I'm
happy
to
do
that
after
this
meeting-
and
I
think
councilwoman
smith
would
be
happy
to
have
that
conversation
as
well.
K
I
think
a
week
earlier
than
that
piloting
a
bay
sale,
universal
basic
income
program,
two
lines
above
that
is
number
nine,
which
is
expanding
access
to
quality,
early
childhood
education
and
today,
council
members,
growth,
strasberger
and
smith
introduced
a
resolution
to
move
two
million
dollars
towards
childhood
and
child
care
initiatives
with
a
corporate
agreement
with
the
county.
That
was
money
that
the
women's
clock
has
put
in
place.
K
Actually
in
2016,
I
believe
into
the
capital
budget
and
the
mayor's
administration
has
been
struggling
with
executing
that
program,
and
so
it's
coincidental,
maybe
that
they
were
in
a
rush
to
do
it
this
week
before
we
go
on
recess
or
maybe
not
because
we
we
definitely
did
issue
this
policy.
K
K
They
would
have
had
to
do
that
last
week
to
get
it
on
our
agenda
by
today
expedite
it,
which
we
did
so
that
we
will
be
discussing
it
publicly
tomorrow,
and
I
believe
that
tiffany
simoneau,
I
think,
melissa,
geiger
and
maybe
even
michelle
figler
from
the
hinds
of
dominance
will
be
on
the
line
for
city
council
tomorrow
morning
at
10
o'clock
to
discuss
that
legislation
and
see
what
that
program
might
look
like.
So
there's
two
million
dollars
more.
K
That
has
been
sitting
in
the
capital
budgets
for
several
years
now
that
looks
like
it's
finally
going
to
be
administered
to
for
some
positive
outcomes.
That'll
be
my
question
tomorrow,
like
what?
What
are
you
proposing
this
program
be,
and
is
it
something
that's
going
to
immediately
help
households
in
need,
especially
essential
worker,
frontline
workers,
people?
We
know
that
are
low-income
workers
and
we
know,
are
predominantly
women
and
black
women
in
the
in
pittsburgh,
who
are
having
to
show
up
to
work
and
have
child
care
issues.
K
C
Thank
you
and
I
forgot
to
lower
my
hand
earlier
I
just
deb
as
part
of
the
committee.
I
I
feel
so
excited
whenever
you
talk
about
gender-based
budgeting
and
I
think
the
question
that
always
comes
up
is
if
you
could
suggest
like
a
way,
a
mechanism
for
us
to
engage
city
council
on
that,
because
that,
I
think,
is
one
of
the
elusive
pieces
of
this-
is
how
so
do
we?
If
we
meet
with
with
the
women's
caucus?
C
Could
we
then
come
up
with
strategies
that
commissioners
could
use
as
a
group,
because
I
think
that
the
the
how
to
how
to
implement
what
you're
saying,
which
I
I
feel
like
everyone
seems
to
be
very
much
on
board.
I
won't
speak
to
the
whole
commission,
but
I
seem
to
have
heard
a
lot
of
support
for
the
gender-based
budgeting.
So
maybe
that's
something.
The
committee
can
also
devise
in
addition
to
meeting
with
city
departments,
how
to
instrumentalize
meeting
with
city
council
on
budget.
K
A
Fantastic
yeah,
thank
you,
deb
for
helping
us
get
that
set
up.
I
think
that's
a
really
great
next
step,
and
I
I
don't
know
who
should
be
in
that
meeting,
but
perhaps
that
actually
should
be
with
our
city
department
analysis
committee.
Then
we've
got
a
standing
committee
to
think
about
that.
It
seems
like
we're
pulling
those
things
two
things
together.
A
A
So
I've
heard
several
people
talk
about
disaggregated
data,
so
we
definitely
have,
as
a
next
step,
wanting
our
city
department
analysis
committee
to
talk
about
that
as
a
strategy.
What
does
that
look
like?
What
would
next
steps
be?
How
do
we
want
to
work
with
departments
to
get
disaggregated
data
and
then,
of
course,
steps
been
talking
about
gender-based
budgeting
and
possibly
meeting
with?
Is
it
the
whole
women's
caucus?
I
guess
that's
all
of
the
women
on
on
council.
A
By
the
way
we
need
to
get
more
women
on
city
council
always
a
good
idea.
I
will
mention
that
a
number
of
the
policy
recommendations
sort
of
group
around
workforce
equity.
So
I
know
this
is
something
but
sarah
and
amanda
and
janet
talked
about
very
quickly,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
will
be
in
the
white
paper
that
they're
working
on.
A
But
a
number
of
these
are
sort
of
workforce,
equity,
kinds
of
policy
recommendations,
and
we
did
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
at
one
of
our
meetings
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
where
we
were
starting
to
think
about
what
a
workforce
equity
council
would
look
like
in
pittsburgh,
and
how
would
we
want
folks
to
sign
on
and
work
with
us,
so
we
were
talking
about
some
of
these
recommendations
in
that
context,
so
I
just
want
to
remind
us
that
there
are
multiple
ways
in
which
we
may
be
sort
of
pushing
forward
with
some
of
these
recommendations
are
there
any
other
comments,
suggestions
things
folks
want
to
talk
about
around
our
recommendations,
things
you've
been
hearing
and
deb.
A
A
A
Fantastic.
Okay,
if
I
see
no
other
hands,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
us
on
to
our
additional
policy.
Conversation
allah
has
been
waiting
so
patiently
to
tell
us
about
some
policy
and
legislative
updates.
M
Hey
everyone
thanks
jesse.
I
also
wanted
to
say
I'm
joined
today
by
one
of
my
new
colleagues,
jordan
fields,
who
is
a
new
policy
coordinator
with
the
mayor's
office
as
well.
So
I'm
excited
to
have
her
here
and
she'll
she'll
be
co-presenting.
The
policy
updates
with
me.
M
First
up
what
you
guys
were
just
talking
about
your
policy
recommendations.
The
mayor
has
compiled
responses
to
each
of
your
policy
recommendations
and,
as
promised,
we'll
be
sending
them
to
you
this
week.
So
you
should.
You
should
expect
those
very
soon.
M
Cool
next
up,
I
also
wanted
to
give
an
update
about
the
the
guaranteed
income
work.
There
is,
as
council
person
gross
mentioned
earlier,
the
universal
basic
income
model
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
is
now
a
part
of
it's
still
in
its
very
early
stages
of
development,
and
it's
going
to
be
specifically
funding
for
a
guarantee
funding
for
a
guaranteed
income
pilot
for
a
specific
population,
and
that
population
is
currently
unknown.
M
The
the
staff
who,
on
our
end,
who
are
working
on
this,
are
chief
lindsay
powell,
ernest
raja
cohen,
and
oliver
beasley
we're
joining
cities
11.
Other
cities,
like
stockton,
california
and
stockton.
California's
model
is
likely
what
we
it
looks
like
things
are
going
to
look
like
here
in
pittsburgh
as
well.
So
through
this
program
they
are
helping
us
basically
figure
out
all
the
ins
and
outs
of
this
pilot
and
right
now
we're
in
stockton
that
the
city
is
giving
out
500
a
month
to
125
eligible
residents
in
pittsburgh.
M
It'll
look
something
like
that
and,
like
I
said,
the
the
target
population,
so
whoever
whoever
those
eligible
residents
are
have
not
yet
been
identified,
and
neither
has
the
the
monthly
amount
that
will
be
given.
So
that
is
that
that
is
what
the
pilot
will
look
like.
It's
just
it's
a
select
few
people
who
will
receive
some
of
my
some
amount
of
money
per
month
and
the
the
mayor
is
also
advocating
for
state
and
federal
policy
change.
M
So,
in
addition
to
piloting
this
in
pittsburgh
to
see
what
it
looks
like
and
the
impact
in
coordination
with
these
11
other
cities,
he
is
also
advocating
for
state
and
federal
policy
change
around
guaranteed
income
work
as
well.
Are
there
any
questions
around
this.
A
I
M
I
do
not
and-
and
I
can
definitely
ask
and
if
they
know
I'm
sure,
they'll
be
able
to
tell
us
but
like
I
said
yes,
definitely
still
trying
to
figure
out
all
those
details
at
the
moment.
But
I
can
mark
down
that
question.
I
And
I
have
one
more
question:
just
based
off
of
what
we've
learned
with
the
gender
analysis
project
that
we
did
or
the
report
in
community
involvement.
So
I
just
found
it
interesting.
I
think
you
named
like
three
or
four
people
that
would
be
deciding
this
predetermined
amount
and
predetermined.
A
group
of
select
people
to
receive
this,
and
I
just
wonder,
have
you
all
considered
or
are
they
considering
how
they're
going
to
involve
the
entire
community
in
that
decision,
because
I
can
see
how
it
could
backfire.
M
That's
also
excuse
me,
a
great
question
and
the
people
that
I
named
are
not
the
ones
necessarily
making
the
call
by
any
means
they're,
just
the
staffers
on
behalf
of
the
mayor's
office
that
are
participating
in
the
calls
with
the
other
cities
and
doing
the
work
to
get
this
off
the
ground.
So
they're
they're
staffing,
everything,
but
I
I'm
sure
that
there's
more
to
it
and
more
people
will
have
a
voice
at
the
table.
N
To
follow
up
with
kalani's
really
great
questions
and
points
do
we
know
if
whoever
is
going
to
be
working
on?
This
is
either
looking
at
our
recommendation
and
or
making
sure
they're?
Looking
at
the
gender
equity
commission
report
that
came
out
which
cited
the
circumstances
of
individuals
intersectionally
by
gender
and
race
and
how
they're
faring
in
the
city
and
or
considering
the
town
hall
conversation
that
was
hosted
by
the
gec
and
the
individuals
who
talked
about
how
different
communities
are
faring
and
the
stockton
report
do.
M
Thank
you
amanda
for
these
questions,
I'm
noting
them
down
I.
What
I'm
hearing
is
that
you
are.
M
You
want
to
ensure
that
the
our
team
here
in
pittsburgh
is
using
the
resources
that
the
gec
has
made
available
to
everyone,
both
through
the
report
and
through
the
town
hall
conversations
and
while
we're
participating
in
this
pilot-
and
that
is
definitely
something
that
I
can
relay
and
emphasize
and
then
the
other
question
I'm
hearing
is:
does
the
stockton
model
take
that
intersectional
approach
to
their
to
their
model
like
we
want
to
here,
and
that
is
also
a
question
I
will
relay.
Thank
you.
A
M
Yes,
there
are
a
couple
more
and
I'll
I'll
try
to
power
through
them.
First,
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
on
or
next
I
should
say
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
task
force,
the
mayor's
task
force
on
police
reform
for
anyone
who
has
not
been
following
along.
They
are
meeting
every
monday.
I
am
one
of
the
people
who
who
are
staff,
who
are
staffing
this
task
force.
They
are
they're
meeting
every
monday
from
4
30
to
6
30
pm.
M
Their
meetings
are
broadcasted
live
just
like
this
meeting
is
being
done
on
the
city
channel
youtube
page,
so
you
can
follow
along
there.
There
is
also
a
task
force
website
on
the
on
the
pittsburgh
pa.gov
website.
There
is
now
a
page
made
for
the
task
force
specifically
and
there
you
can
find
all
the
meeting
minutes,
which
are
also
now
being
translated
into
different
languages,
video
recordings
of
previous
meetings
and
there's
also
a
feedback
form
that
is
available
for
the
public
to
share
comments
to
the
task
force
directly.
M
So
if
you
have
policy
recommendations,
ideas
and
concerns
that
you
want
the
task
force
to
hear
the
task
force
wants
everyone
to
know
that
they
welcome
public
comment
and
are
using
this
page
as
a
way
to
do
that.
And
so,
if
you
guys
could
help
ensure
that
this
reaches
your
constituents.
A
M
I
don't
believe
so.
I
think
the
the
task
force
is
dealing
right
now
with
a
like.
A
lot
of
people
have
put
forward
policy
recommendations,
so
you
have
a
lot
of
different
groups
who
have
put
forward
policy
recommendations
and
what
they
have
done
at
the
moment
is
they've
broken
out
into
different
subcommittee
structures
that
are
going
to
look
at
different
topics.
And
if
you
look
at
the
meeting
minutes,
you'll
find
out
you'll
find
what
those
different
subcommittees
are.
M
But
those
different
subcommittees
are
then
charged
with
doing
their
research
and
looking
at
what
the
recommendations
that
the
communities
have
made
are,
but
also
looking
at
statewide
national
policy
recommendations
and
models,
and
so
while
it
has
not
been
done
yet,
I
imagine
that
it
will
be,
and
it
certainly
would
not
hurt
to
to
ensure
that
it
gets
in
front
of
them.
A
A
M
N
I
guess
I
have
a
general
question
about
policy
in
general
for
the
mayor's
office
and
any
other
task
force,
commission,
etc.
N
This
the
stuff
that
we
put
together,
it's
that's
what
it's
for,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
how
we
can
make
sure
that
people
are
provided
with
these
resources
on
the
onset
rather
than
us
having
and
you
do
a
wonderful
job,
updating
us,
but
rather
than
us
having
to
ask
and
request
and
put
forth
every
single
time.
There's
a
new
group
department,
commission,
etc.
N
M
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
Like
I
said.
M
The
group
right
now
has
spent
several
weeks
trying
to
figure
out
its
structure
for
how
it's
going
to
do
the
work
that
it's
trying
to
do
and
your
policy
recommendations
will
be
one
of
the
things
that
they
look
at,
how
to
ensure
that
they
show
up
in
front
of
a
group
like
this
is
through
what
just
happened
right
now,
which
is
a
connection
that
you
have
to
the
mayor's
office
via
staffers,
who
are
also
helping
with
the
task
force
and
so
by
asking
me
to
to
do
that
work.
M
Thank
you.
Excuse
me
next,
just
one
final
update
and
I'm
gonna
hand
this
one
over
to
my
colleague,
jordan.
You
guys
had
asked
for
a
memo
for
of
examples
of
model
policies
in
other
places,
to
see
where
others
are
doing
well
on
factors
where
pittsburgh
is
not
doing
well.
Based
off
of
the
report
that
you
released
last
fall,
jordan
has
been
spearheading
that
memo
and
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
to
jordan
to
give
you
that
update.
G
Thank
you
so
much
as
mentioned,
my
name
is
jordan
fields.
I
am
new
to
the
office
of
equity.
This
is
my
third
week
on
the
job,
but
having
spoken
to
anew,
I
am
working
on
a
memo
regarding
the
2019
report
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
brief
update
about
that.
G
I
have
a
very
rough
draft
done
so
far,
but
I'm
focusing
on
five
main
topics,
so
maternal
mortality
rates,
infant
mortality
rates,
homicides
poverty
and
education,
and
I
have
looked
at
a
variety
of
other
cities
across
the
country
and
I
can
honestly
say
as
of
right
now
that
I've
found
a
lot
of
really
interesting
policies,
practices,
programs
that
have
been
implemented
and
have
been
relatively
successful.
So
I'm
excited
to
continue
working
on
that
and
update
you
all
as
necessary
and
share
what
I've
found
so
far.
A
A
I
know
we've
just
hit
the
end
of
our
time
allotment
for
this
discussion.
I
don't
want
to
cut
anybody
off.
I
appreciate
that
you
all
are
working
on
a
draft
of
that.
It
sounds
like
we've
got
an
opportunity
to
see
that
perhaps
next
month
or-
and
we
can
always
set
aside
additional
time
on
the
agenda,
if
we
know
that
we
will
have
that
coming.
A
So
that's
terrific
and
you
can
always
let
a
new
know
that
and
then,
when
the
executive
committee's
meeting
to
put
our
agenda
together,
we
can
make
sure
we've
got
a
little
more
time
for
discussion
sounds
good
yeah.
Thank
you,
and
I
am
very
aware
of
time
because
we
are
using
right
up
against
the
end
of
our
time
allotment
and
we've
got
our
city.
Colleagues
who've
helped
to
put
this
together
on
the
live
stream.
A
A
N
Just
a
very
quick
comment,
I
would
like
us
as
a
commission
to
have
open
discussion
on
conversations
and
training
around
anti-racism
and
race
and
racism.
A
I
To
all
right,
so
it
a
new
stress
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
that
israel,
gender
meeting
on
july
31st
at
noon.
So
that's
a
thing,
don't
forget!
That
is
a
thing.
Actually.
This
is
a
little
harder
than
I
thought
I
do
have
a
highlight
in
the
notes
what
the
action
items
are,
but
who
is
this
talent
and
workforce
equity
will
be
putting
all
of
this
into
a
document
for
the
gec
meeting
in
august.
I
Oh,
the
workforce
equity
committee
will
be
putting
all
of
their
stuff
into
the
a
document
for
us
to
read
at
the
august
meeting.
I
believe
that
was
what
you
said.
Rick
will
be
talking
into
the
corporate
equity
round
table
about
possibly
having
us
present.
If
we
get
an
invitation.
I
A
And
all
the
committees
have
action
items.
I
know
all
of
the
committees
are
meeting
they've
all
got
their
own
action
items
right
for
next
steps.
Thank
you
thanks,
clanny,
we'll
see
if
that
works.
For
you,
this
was
our
our
trial
run
since
we
suggested
it,
and
I
appreciate
your
attempt
it's
hard.
If
kalani
is
working
hard
at
doing
five
things
at
once,
anu
did
we
get
any
public
comments.
Anything
you
need
to
read.
C
A
Thank
you
for
checking.
We
are
trying
to
use
all
the
digital
tools
and
all
of
our
resources
very
much
appreciated.
Then
it's
time
to
wrap
up.
Our
next
meeting
is
scheduled
for
august
18th
from
2
30
to
4
30.
We
will
be
meeting
again
online
if
you're
joining
us
from
the
public.
We
will
be
streaming
again.
Please
do
reach
out.
Please
do
feel
free
to
email.
Us
questions
comments
concerns
we
really
do
want
to
be
engaging
with
the
public.
This
is
tough
on
everybody
right
now
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic.
A
Now
we're
all
doing
the
best
we
can
do.
I
hope
everybody's
staying
safe
and
healthy,
and
with
that
said,
I
just
need
a
motion
to
adjourn.
