If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Okay,
welcome
welcome
to
the
gender
equity
Commission
if
you're
joining
us
live
by
streaming.
We
welcome
you
to
our
May
meeting.
This
meeting
is
being
televised
on
the
city
channel
and
streamed
on
the
city's
YouTube
channel
and
a
recording
of
this
meeting
and
our
meeting
minutes
will
also
be
available
on
our
website
and
the
gender
equity.
Commission
is
really
committed
to
transparency
and
community
engagement,
and
this
month
we
were
scheduled
to
actually
be
out
in
the
community.
A
We
were
going
to
be
meeting
in
the
evening
with
childcare
over
on
the
Northside
with
one
of
our
community
partners.
Obviously
we
couldn't
do
that,
we're
very
sad
about
that.
But
when
this
crisis
is
over,
we
will
be
rescheduling
our
twice-yearly
meetings
out
in
the
community.
So
if
you
are
joining
us
via
the
livestream
today
or
watching
this
recording,
please
know
that
we
welcome
your
input,
your
participation.
A
We
have
enough
little
tiny
windows
that
it
will
be
hard
to
see
and
not
everybody
has
their
video
on
so
we'll
use
that
chat
feature
to
get
our
attention
for
managing
today's
meeting.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Before
we
go
into
our
agenda
to
much
further,
we
need
to
introduce
a
new
member,
so
this
is
very
exciting.
I
am
absolutely
delighted
to
introduce
to
you
to
Lisa
Coffey
who
is
joining
us.
She
was
appointed
by
Mayor,
Peduto
and
affirmed
by
City
Council
last
week.
Jalisa
is
the
director
of
operations
at
Homewood,
Children's
Village.
A
She
hails
from
Ohio
she's.
Still
relatively
new
to
Pittsburgh.
She's
got
a
background
in
education
and
transportation
and
politics,
among
other
things,
were
very
lucky
to
have
her
joining
us
on
the
gender
equity,
Commission
and
Julie.
So
I
wonder
if
you
would
like
to
just
say
hello
and
maybe
introduce
yourself
sure.
B
Hello,
everyone
I,
am
overjoyed
to
be
a
part
of
this
commission.
I'm
excited
to
get
to
work
on
behalf
of
all
the
people
in
Pittsburgh
that
need
to
hear
our
voices
and
I'm
excited
I've
been
warmly
welcomed
by
Jessie
and
Anu,
and
some
of
the
other
commissioners,
so
I'm
very
excited
and
looking
forward
to
getting
to
work.
A
Great
well,
we
welcome
you
we're
so
delighted
to
have
you
with
us
and
we
are
going
to
be
putting
you
to
work.
We're
a
busy
Commission,
so
I
know
you're,
ready
to
work
and
I'm
glad
to
have
you,
okay,
what?
Let's
do
a
quick
roll
call,
then
for
minutes,
and
so
our
Secretary
has
record
of
who's
with
us
online.
We'll
just
do
this
as
efficiently
and
quickly
as
we
can.
Commissioner
block
has
called
in.
So
she
has
an
excused
absence
today.
A
A
I'm
so
good
at
reading
lips,
though
so
thank
you
so
no
submitted.
Testimony
and
again
we
do
invite
members
of
the
public
to
submit
testimony
jalisa.
Just
so
you
know
we
usually
invite
folks
to
introduce
themselves
at
the
beginning
and
at
the
end
of
every
meeting
and
to
give
feedback.
So
this
these
are
unusual
online
meetings
for
us
like
everything
right
now.
Okay,
moving
on
to
approval
of
the
minutes,
Kalani
has
done
another
wonderful
job
of
writing
up
the
minutes.
For
us
she
sent
those
along
last
week,
so
everybody
should
have
a
copy
of
those.
A
E
Hi
everyone
thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
also
say
how
I'm
finding
the
minutes
to
be
really
helpful
and
as
much
as
I
would
like
to
read
with
a
fine
tune
minutes
our
best
scanned
and
Kalani
has
made
that
very
doable,
and
it
gives
a
really
great
sense
of
the
discussion,
and
so
thank
you
Kalani.
So
for
the
executive
directors
report,
I
sent
a
packet
out
everyone
when
we
are
meeting
in
person.
This
would
be
part
of
your
commissioner
packet,
so
you
should
be
able
to
access
it
on
the
phone.
E
We
are
going
to
be
talking
about
a
policy
document,
a
recommendation,
a
draft
that
justin
has
been
working
on
tirelessly.
It's
really
really
great.
The
executive
committee
has
been
working
on
it.
All
commissioners
should
have
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it,
and
I
have
been
working
with
the
policy
team
in
the
mayor's.
D
E
To
follow
our
processes
so
to
get
their
feedback
before
we
go
further,
so
I
have
responses.
One
of
the
responses
is
from
Lindsay
Powell
and
then
Allah
is
going
to
speak
further
about
how
the
policy
shop
is
responding
and
I
will
be
talking
a
little
bit
more
about
clarifying
my
role
as
executive
director,
but
also.
G
E
That
packet
is
an
email
from
chief
of
staff,
majestic
Lane
on
the
17th
which
such
as
two
days
ago,
I
think
that
was
just
two
days
ago.
We,
the
gender
equity,
Commission
and
I,
feel
that
there
is
pretty
universal
agreement
on
this.
We
want
disaggregated
data.
We
want
to
understand
the
gendered
implications
of
decisions
being
made
by
local
government
during
the
pandemic.
One
of
the
big
things
I
found
is
very
few.
E
People
are
collecting
data
that
data
is
not
just
out
there
to
be
picked
up
about
gendered
implications,
but
I
asked
chief
Lee
to
provide
the
gender
equity
Commission.
A
breakdown
of
recent
fundings
to
the
Community
Development,
Block,
Grant
I,
believe
Commission
pros
may
have
more
detail.
She
wants
to
speak
about
that,
but
I
believe
she'd
mentioned
it,
and
so
I
said
the
gender
equity
Commission
wants
to
know
the
gendered
impacts
of
that
spending,
so
that
we
can
actually
start
to
say.
E
You
know
here
are
other
ways
to
think
about
spending
money
and
making
sure
that
we're
gender
it.
So
we
at
least
have
a
baseline,
that's
one
of
the
documents.
Finally,
I'm
going
to
be
working
with
the
City
channel
I
would
like
commissioners
to
weigh
in
on
whether
or
not
they
want
to
make
June's
meeting
not
only
live
streaming,
but
that
people
can
make
comments
and
ask
questions
from
the
public.
I.
Don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
that
as
an
individual,
but
the
City
channel
team
is
amazing.
Thank
you,
joy.
E
Thank
you
David
in
particular,
but
the
whole
team
has
been
fantastic,
but
I
wanted
to
show
you
a
press
release.
The
the
another
Commission
is
doing
their
meetings
in
a
way
to
try
and
stay
transparent
and
engaged.
So
that's
just
an
example
for
you
all
and
it
might
help
you
in
voting
I'm,
going
to
spend
the
bulk
of
my
time
talking
about
what
it
means
that
the
gender
equity
Commission
now
has
a
full-time
executive
director
and
bear
with
me.
E
This
is
my
experience
of
the
gender
equity
Commission
and
we
have
a
brand
new
commissioner,
so
I'm
going
to
try
not
to
use
too
many
acronyms
so
that
jalisa
can
follow
I'm
going
to
try
and
gloss
things
that
not
everyone
will
know.
I'll
ask
everyone
on
the
GC
to
do
that,
favor
for
us
for
a
little
while,
because
I've
been
on
boards
and
commissions
and
in
groups
where
I've
entered
after
it's
already
started,
and
it's
not
always
easy.
E
Mike
straw-like,
sorry
about
your
power
anyway,
so
I
think
it's
a
really
good
opportunity
to
not
assume
that
all
commissioners
know
what
we're
talking
about,
because
Julius
has
just
joined
us
and
so
I'm
gonna
do
the
same
thing.
So
I
started
working
for
the
gender
equity
Commission
before
there
was
a
commission,
so
I
became
the
executive
director
in
September
of
2017.
My
job
in
that
first
three
months
was
to
ask
for
a
budget
for
the
analysis,
so
I
had
to
prepare
a
proposal
to
ask
for
forty.
Five
thousand.
E
We've
talked
a
lot
about
that
forty
five
thousand
dollars
I.
Remember
it
well
because
I
spent
weeks
coming
up
with
justification
for
the
forty
five
thousand
and
to
help
the
mayor
and
City
Council's
process
of
appointing
all
of
you.
I
did
not
choose.
Who
was
on
the
commission.
That
is
that
the
mayor's
discretion
we
have
shared
all
of
the
recommendations
any
commissioners
had
made
and
we're
very
lucky
that
jaleesa
is
joining
us.
E
But
when
you
were
all
appointed
that
was
decided
by
other
folks,
I'm,
very
glad
that
you
were
all
appointed
and
then
the
commissioners
started
meeting
in
February
of
2018.
So
this
makes
just
over
two
years
that
the
Commission
has
been
meeting
and
our
last
two
meetings
have
been
online
and
I
will
keep
repeating.
There's
a
global
pandemic.
I
want
to
hold
space
for
that,
because
just
saying
and
then
me
going
back
to
lalala
huge
for
my
life
doesn't
seem
to
me
an
appropriate
way
to
act.
There's
a
global
pandemic.
E
People
are
dying
and
suffering
I'm
very
lucky.
I
have
a
great
deal
of
privilege
very
few
people
that
I
know
have
passed
and
I
just
I
feel
very
grateful
for
that.
But
I
know
that
many
other
people
have
very
difficult
situations
and
I
will
continue
to
take
time
to
say
if
you
can
communicate
what
you
need
in
these
moments
and
how
the
gender
equity
Commission
can
support
you
and
be
really
clear.
So
commissioner,
said
I
can't
come
to
a
meeting
today,
and
that
is
not
just
understandable
or
forgivable.
E
That's
reasonable,
and
but
we
can't
decide
for
you
right
so
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
really
working
on
two
major
principles:
the
first
one
some
people
call
compassionate
accountability.
That
means
that
we
hold
each
other
responsible,
but
we
do
it
remembering
that
we're
people
and
human
beings-
and
we
treat
each
other
humanely
and
kindly
and
the
other
is
radical
transparency,
so
I
will
continue
to
share
everything.
I
possibly
can
with
the
Commission
about
my
process.
E
E
To
be
as
clear
as
I
can
about
how
I'm
working
for
some
of
you
that
may
seem
like
this
is
business
as
usual,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
started
working
on
in
2017
was
advocating
for
a
full-time
executive
director.
I,
don't
think
there's
anyone
in
the
Commission
who
felt
that
a
part-time
executive
director
was
appropriate.
That
was
a
compromise.
None
of
us
as
far
as
I
know
we're
part
of
reaching,
but
that
was
the
situation,
and
so
we
have
achieved
a
victory.
E
It
came
I
I've,
been
advocating
probably
monthly,
with
the
mayor's
office
in
the
interest
of
transparency.
I've
mentioned
that
if
the
position
were
to
be
full-time,
it
would
not
necessarily
be
me
because
I
had
to
make
some
really
hard
decisions.
I
spent
the
last
six
months
deciding
whether
or
not
to
take
the
full-time
position.
I'm
saying
this
to
all
abuse,
because
I
made
the
decision
and
I'm
fully
committed
to
this,
but
it
doesn't
mean
the
same
old
same
old,
so
actually
going
from
part-time
to
full-time
means.
E
So
I
am
going
to
go
through
my
workflow
since
I,
fully
transitioned
to
full
time
on
March,
2nd
I
would
have
liked
to
give
this
report
to
you
last
month,
but
things
were
still
in
flux.
I
was
taking
my
lead
from
the
mayor's
office
and
they
were
saying
that
we're
not
making
plans
we're
waiting
to
see
what
the
public
health
priorities
are.
So
you
should
remotely
work,
continue
your
monthly
meetings
and
we'll
see
how
things
play
out
so
now,
I
would
say
that
things
are
finally
fairly
steady,
I'm
expected
to
continue
working
remotely.
E
There
is
no
deadline
for
when
employees
of
the
mayor's
office
will
be
returning.
So
I
will,
let
you
know,
but
then
we're
is
literally.
There
is
no
current
deadline,
so
I
will
be
working
remotely.
I
am
working
9:00
a.m.
to
5:00
p.m.
Monday.
Through
Friday
during
that
time,
you
can
always
reach
me
I'm,
not
on
call
or
immediately
available,
because
I'll
have
meetings
and
calls
and
work
to
you.
E
But
that
is
a
guaranteed
time
that
when
commissioners
have
a
question-
and
they
me
it
needs
to
be
directed
to
me-
that
you
can
reach
out
to
me
so
I've
listed
my
responsibilities,
areas
in
my
executive
directors
report.
I
won't
read
that
aloud.
Unless
anyone,
if
anyone
doesn't
have
access
to
the
executive
directors
report
I
emailed
it
out
earlier,
but
let
me
know
the
schedule
in
current
work,
so
I
have
standing
meetings.
Many
of
these
are
with
the
mayor's
office
when
I
am
there
in
you
know,
in
real
life,
I
am
constantly
in
communication.
E
With
the
ten
other
people
who
work
in
the
office
of
equity.
We
are
working
very
hard
to
see
how
the
gender
equity
Commission
can
interact
with
support
amplify
the
work
of
other
office
of
equity
individuals
and
how
they
can
amplify
and
uplift
our
work
and
that's
very
important,
and
in
2019
the
Commission
made
it
very
clear
that
they
felt
the
gender
equity
Commission's.
E
Executive
directors
should
work
on
building
relationships
with
city
departments,
so
that
is
certainly
something
that
I
can
say
has
been
a
success
that
I
have
built
relationships,
those
within
my
own
office
of
equity
in
different
departments,
and
once
we
are
all
in
real
life
again
and
not
virtual,
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
continue
our
department
meetings.
The
Committee
on
city
department
meetings
is
currently
on
a
hiatus
like
Strela,
like
as
the
chair,
and
can
say
more
about
that
if
he
gives
a
report,
but
so
I
had
certain
meetings
that
are
scheduled
every
week.
E
E
On
a
Monday
from
the
administration
is
really
not
working
according
to
their
workflow
and
so
I
have
the
chair
kindly
agreed
to
meeting
Wednesday
mornings.
So
that
means
tomorrow.
The
chair
and
the
IDI
will
meet.
Will
DB
from
this
meeting
make
sure
that
we
follow
up
on
anything
that
needs
following
up
on
make
timelines
and
deadlines
and
we'll
meet
every
Wednesday,
and
that
allows
us
opportunities
to
check
in
and
I'm
going
to
ask
that
those
that
workflow
that
originates
from
the
mayor's
office?
E
That
that'd
be
the
way
the
general
equity
Commission
works,
because
to
have
a
different
workflow
for
the
Commission
than
the
mayor's
office
means
that
getting
policy
recommendations
responded
to
as
we
wish
isn't
going
to
happen,
and
so
I
just
want
and
I'll
keep
explaining
that
as
much
as
it's
needed,
but
so
Wednesday's,
the
chair
and
the
executive
director
are
going
to
meet
Thursday's.
There's
a
weekly
report
submitted
to
the
mayor's
office
in
between
you
can
always
contact
the
secretary.
E
If
you
want
something
to
put
on
the
agenda
for
the
monthly
meeting-
and
if
you
have
questions
in
between
the
chair
is
the
proper
person
to
communicate
with
I
have
my
monthly
workflow
once
again,
I'm
not
going
to
read
any
of
that
I
just
want
you
to
have
access
to
it.
It'll
put
it
on
the
drive
and
send
you
a
link.
E
It's
still
pretty
slight
on
the
ground,
but
I
am
trying
to
get
that
to
give
to
you
all's
context,
I'm
working
on
gender
equity
principles
and
best
practices
for
Pittsburgh,
and
that
was
something
that
the
chair
and
I
discussed
a
few
weeks
ago,
I'm
working
on
some
that
I
can
hopefully
work
on
with
the
Commission
and
then
share
with
city
departments,
so
that
even
if
we
don't
have
desegregated
data
and
one
of
the
recommendations
or
principles,
best
practices
is
disaggregated
data.
So.
D
E
That's
in
draft
anyone
who
wants
to
help
me
with
that.
Let
me
know
it:
I
need
to
return
to
the
drawing
board
on
that,
because
it's
it's,
it
got
interrupted
and
the
post
pandemic
equitable
new
normal
policy
recommendations,
I've
looked
at
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
have
a
deep
dive.
We've
had
it
for
about
ten
days,
I
think
I've,
read
it
over
I
need
to
look
at
it
much
more
closely.
There
are
chunk
the
part
of
why
it's
hard
to
read
is
there
are
chunks
that
were
lifted
from
research
that
I
did
so.
E
To
the
part
I'm
like
wait,
do
I
know
this,
and
so
I
just
need
more
time
for
myself
to
to
look
that
over,
but
I've
been
helping
the
chair
with
that
I've
included
in
my
executive
director
report-
and
you
should
all
have
seen
this
multiple
times
now,
but
in
January
2020,
chief
Gilman.
This
is
the
gender
equity
Commission's
meeting
and
I
wrote
out
the
mayor's
office
and
GC
mutual
expectations.
This
is
another
place
where
commissioners
should
look
very
carefully
at
that
and
say
do
I
have
questions.
E
Does
that
make
sense
to
me
do
I
understand
if
you
have
concerns
please
communicate
with
the
chair.
I
have
confirmed
this
with
the
mayor's
office
multiple
times
as
well.
So
this
is
the
working
expectation
of
how,
because
there
have
been
questions,
what
are
the
commissioners
roles
and
duties?
What
is
the
executive
directors
role
and
duties,
and
so
I
want
to
take
that
and
be
given
a
way
that
requires
you
asking
questions
or
saying
I
don't
understand,
and
now
that
we're
resetting
with
a
full-time
executive
director
and
a
new
commissioner.
This
should
all
be
helpful.
E
I
put
my
recommended
focus
for
commissioners
now,
and
you
can
consider
that,
along
with
all
of
the
other
suggestions
that
you
get
and
then
at
the
end,
I've
decided
to
send
my
executive
director
report
to
you,
the
Monday
before
the
meeting,
because
I'm
realizing
submitting
it
a
week
in
advance
means
I
won't
get
my
Thursday
weekly
report.
So
it
makes
more
sense
for
me
to
have
my
most
recent
weekly
report
to
the
mayor's
office
included
in
the
executive
director
report
and
so
Monday
by
the
end
of
business.
E
The
day
before
a
monthly
meeting
you
will
have.
My
executive
director
reported
that
we
is
up
to
date,
because
what
I've
been
doing
is
updating
it
for
the
meeting,
because
a
week
has
passed
so
that,
and
you
can
always
ask
me-
I-
share
a
draft
if
you
want,
but
it
shows
you
the
meetings
I'm
attending
in
the
community,
some
of
the
work
that
I'm
doing
that
you
wouldn't
know
about
behind
the
scenes
like
preparing
with
zoom
tutorials,
and
things
like
that.
E
Who
says
that
she
will
be
offering
us
some
official
comments,
but
she
has
not
produced
those
yet
so,
as
you
continue
to
talk,
there
are
some
people
in
the
city
who
I
reach
out
to
would
like
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
the
policy
recommendations
and
give
us
some
suggestions
or
tell
us
what
work
they're
doing,
but
they
are
not
ready
yet
with
those
responses
and
I
think
that's
it
for
me,
I
also
included
the
newsletter
so
that
you
know
what
is
in
it.
What's
going
out
the
public
and
you
can
always.
E
A
You
all
right,
I,
see
no
hands
up
and
no
nothing
in
the
chat
so
new.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
update
and
all
of
those
documents
and
that
you've
shared
out
very
helpful
I'm
going
to
move
on
here
rather
quickly.
We've
got
lots
to
talk
about
today,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
plenty
of
time
for
our
discussion.
Just
to
give
you
a
very
quick
update
on
what
your
Executive
Committee
was
busy
doing.
A
We
had
a
nice
discussion
about
how
we
want
to
own
board
new
members,
since
we
have
our
very
first
new
member
jalisa
you're.
Actually
the
first
person
who's
joined
us.
This
entire
commission
is
the
original
group,
so
you
gave
us
an
opportunity
to
discuss
how
we
want
to
on
board
and
think
about
what
happens
when
new
folks
join
us.
The
executive
committee
also
talked
about
meeting
formats
and
you
heard
a
new
mention
that
we
would
like
to
try
for
live
participation
of
the
public
next
month.
The
executive
committee
was
in
favor
of
that.
A
E
A
It
would
give
people
a
chance,
essentially
in
a
digital
platform,
to
once
again
be
communicating
with
us
at
our
meetings,
asking
questions
and
providing
feedback,
which
of
course,
is
how
we
handle
our
regular
public
sessions
when
we
are
meeting
together.
So
the
executive
committee
talked
about
that
and
we
were
in
favor
of
moving
forward
with
that,
and
if
anybody
has
thoughts,
we
can
certainly
vote
on
whether
or
not
we
want
to
move
to
that.
But
that
was
something
that
we
felt
strongly
about.
A
A
J
D
A
And
he
abstained.
Alright
Kalani
the
motion
passes.
We
will
have
hopefully
with
some
assistance
from
the
city.
It
is
labor
intensive
and
we've
got
a
big
team
with
us
today,
so
thanking
them
again
publicly
right
now
for
all
of
the
folks
who
are
with
us
on
today's
call,
helping
us
make
this
happen.
It's
really
great
to
have
such
a
great
team
did
a
couple
of
other
things
that
the
executive
committee
worked
on.
A
A
A
A
We
haven't
clarified
where
things
stand,
but
I
know
that
the
update
from
the
city
that
we
shared
with
everybody
and
sort
of
the
status
just
so
everybody
knows
where
we
are
with
the
gender
analysis-
is
that
a
new
is
actually
working
on
a
new
RFP
and
we
did
make
our
case
to
the
city
for
the
$70,000
that
this
group
recommended
at
last
month's
meeting,
which
we
understand
has
sort
of
been
accepted.
But
the
next
step
really
will
be
working
with
OMB
and
then
we'll
know
for
sure.
A
If
we're
getting
that
seventy
thousand
dollars
that
was
proposed.
So
that's
really.
Where
things
stand,
the
committee
did
not
meet
Cathy's
or
anything
else.
That
you'd
like
to
add
you
and
we
are,
are
with
us
from
the
committee.
I
know
you
didn't,
have
a
chance
to
meet
and
we're
really
in
a
holding
pattern
until
the
RFP
is
done.
E
So
if
I
can
give
just
a
little
context,
so
the
request
for
proposals
and
it's
used
in
other
context
when
it's
used
in
terms
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
it
is
the
official
procurement
system
for
the
city,
and
the
reason
that
we
have
a
procurement
system
is
to
make
sure
that
all
contracts,
the
city
shop,
signs
with
any
group,
are
transparent,
that
anyone
can
track
them.
I
think
Jenna
and
Ric
and
Commissioner
gross
and
Mike
might
be
able
to
fill
in
if
they
want
to.
E
So
when
we
talk
about
an
RFP,
those
are
put
out
by
the
Office
of
Budget
and
Management.
When
we
did
the
first
RFP,
a
group
of
commissioners
decided
to
work
on
it
together,
and
you
can
you
know
name
yourself.
If
you
have
things
that
what
happens
is
I
will
write
up
a
narrative
and
the
gender
analysis
committee
should
work
on
that
narrative
and
make
sure
it
looks
right
that
took
a
long
time.
I'm
not
saying
it
should
again
that
took
months
the
first
time,
because
people
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
looked
right.
E
So
once
again,
you
might
be
much
much
speedier
or
more
efficient
with
that.
What
they
will
ask
me
is
for
a
budget
line
item.
Okay,
so
the
chief
of
staff
verbally
said
$70,000
is
moved,
which
is
good
news
and
they'll
say:
what's
the
budget
line
and
I
will
have
to
make
sure
there
is
a
budget
line
and
there's
$70,000
attached
to
it.
They
will
not
go
any
further
in
the
Office
of
Budget
and
Management.
Until
that
happens
so
behind
the
scenes
they
have
to
make
sure
that
they
can.
E
They
can
spend
that
money
and
then
we
can
officially
put
out
an
RFP
to
the
public.
They
run
that
on
their
own
timetable.
How
long
there
is
between
us
asking
them
to
get
the
process
started
when
the
deadline
is
etcetera.
So
all
of
that
anyone
who
wants
to
work
on
our
piece
with
me,
it
will
be
a
process
that
is
run
by
only
B,
but
we
will
decide
the
content.
So
what
are
we
asking
people
to
do
to
work
with
the
GE
see
what
our
expectations,
what
our
equity
measures
could?
E
Because
for
the
first
start,
we
created
a
set
of
equity
requirements
that
far
exceeded
what
the
city
normally
does
and
that's
something
we
can
do
again,
but
to
make
sure
that
we're
considering
equity,
which
means
you
know
how
are
different
people
positioned,
who
might
be
applying
to
work
with
the
gender
equity
Commission
and
which
communities
they
come
from.
I.
E
Make
sure
that's
clip,
please
ask
questions
because
I
don't
want
people
to
be
as
an
RFP
mistakenly
thinking
about
a
different
context.
An
RFP
for
the
gender
equity
Commission
is
very
specifically
something
that
the
Office
of
Budget
and
Management
handles,
and
it
would
be
the
process
we
use
to
then
get
more
work
done
on
our
gender
analysis.
A
J
A
That's
right,
that
was
what
we
talked
about
at
last
month's
meeting
as
a
request
back
to
the
city,
and
we
asked
the
chief
of
staff
if
it
would
be
possible
to
combine
essentially
last
year's
in
this
year's
allocations.
If
we
could
be
looking
at
something
in
the
neighborhood
of
70,000,
we
were
told
that
that
seemed
reasonable.
That
we
should.
The
next
step,
as
Anu
has
said,
is
to
create
this
RFP
and
then
the
OMB,
the
office
management
budget
would
actually
put
a
figure
on
there
and
I.
A
Think
it's
at
that
point
that
we'll
find
out
sort
of
officially
like
with
the
stamp
that
that
money
is
really
ours.
But
what
we've
been
told
is
that
they
feel
it.
That's
quite
reasonable.
I
also
know
that
the
committee,
the
gender
analysis
committee,
when
it
was
talking,
felt
pretty
strongly
that
we
also
need
people
who
are
responding
to
the
RFP
to
let
us
know
what
that
scope.
A
You
know
we're
gonna
define
the
scope
of
work,
but
if
they're
coming
back
and
letting
us
know
you
know,
actually
it's
gonna
be
a
hundred
thousand
to
do
this
project.
What
I
also
heard
from
the
city
was
that
we
may
then
want
to
partner
with
the
foundation,
and
so
you
can
get
additional
dollars
or
figure
out.
You
know
how
to
do
it.
If,
if
that's
the
case,
but
I
was
glad
to
hear
that
70
seemed
reasonable
to
them.
J
E
They
can't
be.
We
would
give
a
list
of
names
to
OMB
of
individuals
who
would
then
have
to
sign
non-disclosure
and
non
conflict
forms.
So
that
would
be,
and
because
we
don't
have
a
chair
of
the
gender
analysis
committee-
I'm
not
sure
how
we
connect
with
them.
But
it
would
be
a
matter
of
those
folks
who
were
engaged
with
that
group.
Getting
those
names
making
sure
those
people
want
to
work
with
the
city
process,
making
sure
they
fill
out
the
proper
forms.
And
then
they
can
absolutely
be
part
of
the
committee
that
we
work
on.
E
K
Wanted
to
know
I'm
we've
collected
a
lot
of
input
from
the
community.
We
met
over
500
people
after
the
first
wave,
I
guess
the
report
that
was
done
by
Pitt
and
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
good
information
on
how
to
go
about
the
RFP
this
time.
So
we
can
add
additional
components
to
that
from
the
input
of
the
community.
If
the
community
doesn't
want
to
participate
in
that
arduous
process
of
low
and
B,
we
have
some
good
found,
I
guess
some
good
foundational
stuff
that
we
could
add
in
in.
K
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
mention,
because
I
think
we
we
do
have
the
process
down.
I
think
we
were
very
I,
was
part
of
that
team
and
putting
the
equity
components
in
far
as
evaluating
candidates
and
far
as
the
RFP
proposals.
So
hopefully
we
could
revisit
that
and
then
also
add
the
components
of
the
500
people
we
talked
to
after
the
report
was
done
by
Pitt.
So
hopefully
that
could
be
taken
in
consideration.
A
L
Just
just
to
kind
of
add
to
what
Rick
said
and
2news
valid
concerns
about
the
length
of
time
this
takes
for
the
process.
I
do
agree,
I
think
we
have
a
good
process
in
place,
I
think
in
all
the
conversations
we've
had,
the
only
difference
is
perhaps
we
do
want
to
consider.
I
think
the
community
part
is
important.
I
think
we
I
think
we
can
take
what
we
did
before
and
honestly
just
rethink
it,
perhaps
with
a
couple
of
members
of
the
community
just
to
make
sure
there's
nothing
that
we're
missing.
L
A
A
I'm,
just
looking
at
everybody's
little
squares,
unzoom
making
sure
he
didn't
miss
anybody
he's
trying
to
get
my
attention.
Okay,
thank
you,
and
if
there
are
no
other
questions,
it
sounds
a
new
we'll
touch
base
tomorrow,
of
course,
about
workflow
and
next
steps.
But
it
sounds
like
we've
got
a
couple
of
things
we'll
be
working
on
in
the
next
month.
With
that
project.
A
L
You
know
what
hold
on.
Let
me
see,
I.
L
No
just
we
had
I
guess
since
last
when
we
talked
to
him
it
with
the
Boston
people,
so
nothing
to
vote
on
and
I'll
be
quick,
basically
met
with
Shireen
the
woman
who
was
the
first
person
to
work
with
the
talent
compact
group.
That's
the
group
that
works
with
the
community
and
people,
the
business,
people
etc,
and
what
she
did
was
just
spend.
L
So
we
have
the
AAUW
s,
all
your
negotiation
workshops,
and
then
we
have
the
other
piece,
but
we
would
hopefully
engage
the
community
to
try
to
create,
foster
or
support
real
changes
in
equity
in
terms
of
the
workforce,
development
and
pay
equity.
Specifically,
so
we
had
the
conversation
around
data:
how
to
get
the
data,
how
to
engage
the
community,
how
we
go
about
recruiting
people,
how
we
go
about
recruiting
businesses?
L
She
has
agreed
to
meet
with
us
regularly
or
semi
regularly
to
assist
us
with
whatever
we
need.
Whatever
questions
we
have,
and
our
group
now
has
a
brainstorming
session
scheduled
to
follow
up
so
that
so
we
can
really
put
our
heads
together
to
really
think
about
what
our
viable
next
steps
are
going
to
be,
what
a
new
timeline
is
going
to
be
so
that
we
have
some
actual
concrete
things
to
present
to
you
all.
L
For
approval
for
voting,
etc,
so,
right
now
it
really
is
a
fact-finding
mission
I'm
an
information-gathering
session
to
get
into
the
little
small
details
of
the
big
projects
that
we've
been
talking
about.
To
put
something
together
to
really
have
a
more
robust
conversation
with
the
full
Commission
Janet
did
I
miss
anything.
No.
F
That
was
a
good
overview
and
I'll
just
add
just
a
little
bit
more
when
we're
having
these
conversations
with,
as
we
call
them,
the
Boston
reps
Shireen
and
her
team
keep
in
mind.
They've
had
this
process
implemented
for
a
while
and
so
we're
trying
to
learn
from
their
mistakes.
So
we
don't
repeat
them.
So
that
is
why
we
are
really
taking
our
time
and
doing
our
due
diligence,
as
you
guys
have
always
heard
me
say
when
you
miss
four
guys
this,
we
are
not
trying
to
be
a
small
Boston.
F
So
that
way,
when
it
is
rolled
out,
everyone
will
see
the
real
hem
print
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
not
a
cookie
cutter
version
of
Boston,
but
we
are
learning
from
them
and
they
are
very
candid
and
honest
of
what
worked
and
what
didn't
work
and
then
also
after
this
meeting
with
the
Boston
group
Amanda,
and
there
and
I
also
had
another
meeting
where
oh
gosh
I've
just
her
name.
Just
escaped
me
Amanda.
He.
F
Thank
you
and
so
Anna
sharing
with
us
how
they're
kind
of
on
pause
right
now,
but
she
still
applauded
us
as
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
still
moving
forward,
even
in
this
pandemic,
of
making
sure
that
we
don't
lose
any
momentum
and
we
even
shared
with
and
some
of
our
ideas
of
how
we
wanted
this
platform
to
be
rolled
out.
Look
like
initially
just
initial
thoughts
off
the
top
of
our
head,
and
she,
you
know,
applauded
us
for
those
ideas,
because
that's
some
of
the
things
that
the
state
hasn't
even
started
doing
yet.
F
A
A
A
A
A
M
So
for
today
we
have
a
couple
of
updates
for
you
in
terms
of
state
legislation.
We
also
have
a
couple
of
updates
on
local
legislation,
and
then
we
also
as
an
you
mentioned
earlier
today,
have
a
response
that
we
can
share
with
you
to
the
recommendation.
The
policy
recommendations
that
you
guys
have
all
put
out,
and
so
maybe
I'll
kick
it
off
to
my
colleague
Ernest
and
you
can
get
us
started
with
some
of
the
legislative
updates.
Sure.
G
G
How
they're
relates
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh
in
terms
of
her
operations
and
also
you
know
how
it
relates
to
our
residents,
making
sure
that
we're
recording
Sienese
and
the
best
way
that
we
can
right
now,
while
there
has
been
a
lot
of
kovat
related
legislation
proposed
at
the
state
level,
a
lot
of
it
has
not
been
moving.
There
has
been
continuous
parson
battles
between
the
governor
and
the
legislature
over
what
the
nature
of
reopening
like
so
as
this
legislation
has
come
up
whenever
we've
had
the
opportunity
of
it
I'm
keeping
an
eye
on
it.
G
Is
there
anything
that
whether
it's
from
the
priorities
that
Anu
had
provided
before
of
sort
of
the
priorities
of
GHD
was
looking
at
as
a
state
and
federal
level,
or
if
it's
something
that
you
know,
naturally,
that
we
thought
you
know
it
would
fall
within?
You
know
the
sphere
of
the
work
that
the
the
gender
equity
Commission
does.
G
The
GC
had
been
taking
a
look
at
a
piece
of
legislation
at
the
state
level
that
would
address
loopholes
around
child
marriage,
that
legislation
did
move
through
and
was
signed
by
the
governor
and
part
of
that
was
tax.
They
put
in
some
coded
language
around
online
marriage
licenses
and
then
right
now,
just
really
at
the
state
level.
G
A
lot
of
what
we're
tracking
is,
on
a
perspective,
we're
looking
at
the
fact
that
there's
negotiations
ongoing
regarding
the
federal
care
funding
that
was
allocated
to
the
state,
senator
Hughes
and
Senator
Costa
released
a
proposal
from
the
state
Democratic
caucus
that
they've
been
negotiating.
Also,
it's
called
the
PA
cares
plan
and
you
know
within
that
they've
really
laid
out
some
great.
You
know
priorities
whether
it
be
individual
and
family
assistance.
You
know
in
particularly
they
had
150
million
allocated
directly
towards
child
care
and
pre-k
funding.
G
You
know
the
GOP
folks
in
in
the
legislature
to
deal
put
together
so
as
that
continues
to
move.
You
know
we're
going
to
continue
tracking
those
funding
streams,
especially
as
things
become
more
tangible,
and
we
can
actually
speak
to
it.
As
you
know,
what
they're
planning
on
funding
for
the
planning
I'm,
not?
We
are
definitely
gonna,
be
keeping.
I
G
G
There
are
things
that
you're
hearing
from
your
communities-
it's
you
know
always,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
I'm
happy
to
at
least
look
into
it,
and
so
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
gist
in
terms
of
what's
happening
at
the
state
and
federal
level.
A
lot
if
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
to
the
local
level
and
then
I
think.
M
So,
to
recap:
Ernest
just
touched
base
on
child
and
educate
child
care
and
education
funding
and
the
child
marriage
bill.
Both
of
these
things,
you'll
find
available
to
you
on
the
policy
tracker
that
I
I
had
screen
shared
it
last
time
for
you
guys,
but
I
just
wanted
to
voice
that,
especially
for
the
new
Commission.
M
M
I
know
earnest
is
actually
part
of
the
group.
That's
been
working
closely
on
paid
sick
leave,
so
earnest,
please
add
anything
that
I
am
missing,
but,
for
example,
last
week
I
know
earnest
hosted
a
discussion
with
the
welcoming
communities
group.
To
talk
about
sorry
got
distracted
to
talk
about
the
paid
sick
leave
act.
What
doesn't
mean?
How
do
you
follow
the
rules?
How
do
you
get
help
if
you
need
to,
if
you
don't
understand
it
so
I'm?
If
my
night,
from
what
I
understand
these
conversations
have
actually
been
happening
with
different
stakeholders
that
correct
earnest?
M
G
Been
happening
with
different
stakeholders
and
we're
actually
planning
on
a
major
engagement
piece,
so
please
stay
tuned
for
that
will
be
coming
out
of
the
office
of
equity.
We're
just
going
to
be
working
to
really
connect
with
a
whole
variety
of
communities
throughout
the
city,
making
sure
that
both
employees,
employers
know
you
know
what's
available
to
them.
What's
required
to
them.
G
We
had
the
unfortunate
bit
of
timing
of
it
was
tied
up
in
court
for
so
long
and
it
literally
came
into
effect
yes
as
ESCO,
but
was
hitting
so
a
lot
of
you
know.
We
want
to
make
sure
that,
especially
now
that
at
least
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
handle
on
things
for
lack
of
a
better
way.
To
put
it,
we
want
to
really
make
sure
that
our
receive
as
a
requested
it
needs
to
be
within
the
community
as
a
well
mentioned.
G
You
know
we
spoke
to
the
folks
at
welcoming
a
bunch
of
community
stakeholders.
Suitable
from
Pittsburgh
initiative
was
focuses
on
immigrant
and
refugee
communities,
and
so
had
that
conversation
last
week,
and
you
know
we're
looking
to
continue
to
you-
know,
bring
this
outreach
out,
and
if
people
have
suggestions
of
groups
we
should
talk
to.
You
know
stakeholders
that
really
would
like
to
know
more
once
again,
thank
you,
free
whoo,
happy
to
adapt
and
try
and
make
this
as
accessible
to
folks
as
possible.
Thank.
M
You
I
know
that
this
is
a
priority
for
this
commission.
It's
written
in
your
policy
recommendations
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
knew
that
this
was
an
ongoing
effort
and
that
you
have
the
ability
to
make
recommendations
about
groups
that
can
that
also
need
to
hear
about
this
directly
from
us
ask
questions
voiced
concerns.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
as
accessible
to
Pittsburghers
as
much
as
possible.
M
Think
a
dozen
or
so
I
can
share
that
list
with
you,
but
it
investigates
discrimination
in
the
spheres
of
employment,
public,
accommodations
and
housing,
and
we
have
added
those
two
classes:
actual
or
perceived
citizenship
status
and
language
spoken
as
protected
classes
to
better
enable
the
Commission
on
Human
Relations
to
prosecute
cases
like
this,
which
they
had
already
been
seeing.
So
obviously
this
also
greatly
impacts
women
as
well
and
want
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
are
aware
of
this.
M
Obviously,
a
lot
of
the
work
gendered
work,
the
gendered
lens
is
very
intersectional
I
work
with
both
welcoming
Pittsburgh
and,
as
a
new
mentioned
earlier,
the
Commission
on
Human,
Relations
and
so
anytime
that
we
can
coordinate
on
policy
together.
That's
really
impactful,
especially
with
a
body
like
the
Commission
on
Human
Relations,
who
has
the
power
to
mandate
the
things
that
are
passed
through
it.
M
A
M
And
the
response
is
very
general:
it
won't
go
into
detail,
so
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
that,
but
so
it
says
good
afternoon.
Thank
you
for
notification
regarding
policy
recommendations
for
the
city
reading
through
the
recommendations,
there
are
several
places
where
we
would
like
to
work
with
the
Commission
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
uphold
enacted
policies
and
work
towards
implementing
others.
It
is
my
hope
that
in
upcoming
months,
we
can
work
together
to
see
how
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
can
continue
to
protect
and
uplift
women
and
girls
in
our
community.
M
G
Really
quickly,
I
focused
on
the
stage
side
when
I
was
getting
updates,
but
you
know
on
the
federal
side,
we're
also
just
looking
to
see
what
the
the
force
phase
is.
Stimulus
is
going
to
look
like
and,
as
I'm
sure
folks
may
be
aware.
Speaker
Pelosi
released
the
heroes,
Act
I
went
to
the
house
last
week
and
the
understanding
that
we
have
from
that
is
that
it
was
never
really
intention
to
be.
You
know
the
most
functional
bills
that
it
was
going
to
be
passed
into
law,
exactly
the
way
that
it
is.
G
The
understanding
that
we
had
was
it's
bigger,
Pelosi
sort
of
you
know
putting
forth
the
line
that
Democrats
are
going
to
be
negotiating
from
throughout
the
discussions
over
what
face
before
it's
going
to
look
like.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
things
in
there
that
you
know
we
look
upon
that
that
were
pretty
positive.
You
know
some
increased
benefits
associated
with
a
paid
sick
leave
portion
of
the
federal
federal
initiative.
K
G
Matter
and
then
there
was
some
direct
funding
for
states
and
cities.
That
being
said,
the
devil
is
always
in
the
details.
With
these
things
we
don't
know
what's
going
to
be
kept
and
what
can
be
cut
as
they
move
to
negotiations,
we're
continuing
to
track
that
and
trying
to
find
you
know
creative
ways.
You
know,
as
I
mentioned
before,
utilize
the
bully
pulpit
of
the
mayor's
office.
You
know,
even
with
the
crisis.
First
tick.
G
The
mayor
came
out
in
support
of
American
workers,
American
working
families,
relief
action
plan
that
suggested
a
variety
of
different
policy
proposals
that
could
be
taken
at
various
levels.
Government
you
know
specifically,
especially
for
a
more
vulnerable
communities,
look
out
for
them
and
then
you
know,
even
more
recently,
he
had
issued
a
letter
asking
for
direct
aid
for
cities
to
the
Trump
administration
in
the
next
round
of
funding,
specifically
so
that
we
actually
have
the
engine
to
take
a
little
bit
more
of
that
action
here.
G
Locally
support
are
for
folks,
so
you
know
we're
going
to
continue
tracking
making
sure
that
were
keeping
your
priorities
in
mind,
as
we
do
so
in
seeing
ways
that
we
can
use.
You
know
the
mayor's
position
and
voice
on
these
issues,
and
then
you
know
we
want
that
to
be
an
open
conversation,
so
please
feel
free
to
continue
to
reach
out
to
us.
You
have
questions,
you
know.
Why
can't
always
promise
me
that
I'll
have
the
answer
right
there.
That
you'll
necessarily
want
to
hear.
G
I
unnecessarily
got
benched
I
want
to
hear
tracking
the
legislative
process
thus
far,
but
you
know
we're
happy
to
work
with
you
to
try
and
you
know,
remove
some
of
the
shot
of
government
and
you
know
get
it
towards.
You
know,
what's
moving,
how
is
it
happening?
Is
there
and
you
know
we
can
have
a
voice
here.
C
A
You
Ernest
and
thank
you
I'll
ask
commissioners
if
you
have
any
quick
questions
for
our
policy
team
and
we're
a
little
bit
past
our
time
marker
for
trying
to
get
on
to
our
discussion
of
the
policy
recommendation.
So
I
don't
want
to
linger
too
long,
but
if
there's
anything
that
folks
are
burning
to
ask
our
policy
folks,
you
really
appreciate
the
updates
on
the
local
state
and
federal
legislation.
A
Okay,
we're
on
to
the
next
section
of
our
agenda,
then,
under
new
business
thinking
about
the
policy
recommendations
that
this
group
has
been
working
on,
actually
really.
If
we
stop
and
think
about
it.
For
the
last
couple
of
years,
as
we've
been
discussing
and
collecting
and
meeting
with
community
members
and
talking
about
our
priorities,
so
I
want
to
share
I'm
going
to
share
out
in
the
chat
room
just
to
make
sure
everybody
still
has
a
copy
of
that
process.
A
Document
that
the
executive
committee
put
together
this
table
that
tracks
each
of
the
ten
policy
recommendations
and
where
they
came
from
who's,
been
working
on
which
piece
who's
reviewed
it.
So
that
is
the
link
that
I
just
shared
with
all
of
you,
and
let
me
just
pop
over
here
and
I-
want
to
just
run
through
some
of
these
questions
that
we've
had
about
the
process
and
then
hopefully,
we'll
have
a
chance.
A
So
obviously,
each
of
these
policy
recommendations
came
from
our
priorities,
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
as
a
group
for
a
long
time
and
really
back
to
our
role
as
a
conduit
right
listening
to
the
community
and
bringing
forth
things
that
we've
been
hearing
from
the
community.
So
that's
where
a
lot
of
this
came
from.
A
In
particular,
we've
been
listening
to
some
of
the
policy
recommendations
coming
out
of
UN
Women
and
some
so
in
fact,
some
of
the
language
and
when
we
get
to
it
I'll
pointed
out
comes
directly
from
some
of
the
recommendations
from
that
NGO,
as
well
as
our
own
work
rate.
The
first
report
that
we
put
out
and
some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
hearing
you
heard
mention
and
Ernest
mentioned
some
of
the
like
the
worker
organizing
table
some
of
the
groups
that
have
been
doing
work
around
paid,
sick
leave
and
other
things.
A
It
lays
out
the
case
for
our
recommendations
that
we're
making
collectively
we're
establishing
sort
of
a
policy
agenda
here,
but
the
responsibility
for
implementing
a
lot
of
these
policies,
including
writing,
legislation
right
if
it
comes
to
that
really
rests
with
other
groups
like
City
Council,
the
mayor's
office,
other
city
departments,
people
we
want
to
be
working
with
and
supporting.
So
it's
really
helpful
to
have
earnest
and
ala
and
others
with
us.
I've
been
in
conversation
with
some
other
city.
Colleagues
as
well.
A
Those
folks
are
going
to
be
really
instrumental
in
making
this
stuff
happened,
as
well
as
community
allies
right.
Those
are
folks
that
have
been
really
working
in
the
community
and
they
would
be
the
ones
showing
up
at
public
hearings
and
giving
testimony.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
big
group
effort.
It's
not
just
our
commission,
that's
going
to
make
all
of
these
things
happen
and
they're
going
to
be
different.
Next
steps
for
each
of
the
policies
that
we
talked
about.
Some
of
these
things
would
need
to
have
policy
written
or
legislative
initiatives
written.
A
Some
of
these
are
going
to
require
sort
of
longer-term
thinking,
and
some
of
these
are
shorter
term
right.
So,
just
as
we're
thinking
about
this
collectively
again
think
about
this
document
as
a
vision,
I
collect
our
collective
policy
vision,
so
there
will
be
a
variety
of
next
steps.
There's
not
going
to
be
just
one
next
step,
as
we
think
through
all
of
these
and
we're
recommending
that
we
take
this
apart
and
look
at
each
one,
so
I'd
like
to
run
through
them
individually.
A
So
we
have
time
to
talk
about
each
of
them
and
we
can
choose
to
vote
on
each
one
and
we
can
make
whatever
decision
we
want
to
today
together.
So
we
might
choose
to
table
something
for
further
discussion.
We
might
choose
to
vote
on
the
whole
thing
and
the
whole
thing
forward
as
our
draft
as
a
final
or
next
to
final
draft.
We
may
want
to
make
some
revisions,
so
it's
up
to
us
this,
our
collective
body,
gets
to
do
that
work
now
together.
But
thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Many
many
many
of
you
have
had
long
conversations
with
me.
I
appreciate
all
the
phone
calls
and
the
emails
over
the
last
few
weeks
as
we've
worked
on
this
together,
lots
of
you
recommended
specific
language.
That's
in
here
as
a
new
mention.
You
know.
Some
of
this
comes
from
some
of
the
work
that
she's
done.
Others
have
contributed,
really
specific
recommendations,
so
I
think
we're
looking
at
a
really
nice
collective
piece
of
effort
here
and
I
was
just
delighted
to
be
able
to
pull
it
all
together.
A
For
us,
I
do
think
the
timing
is
really
important
too.
So
that
was
something
else
I
just
wanted
to
mention
before
we
dive
into
each
of
these,
and
that
is
obviously
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
We
had
our
very
successful
townhall.
We've
heard
directly
from
the
community
about
who
is
being
impacted
by
Kovac
19,
and
we
know
how
this
is
really
splitting
open.
All
of
those
inequalities
in
our
community
and
I
think
our
Commission
has
something
to
say
about
that.
A
So
I'm
excited
for
the
opportunity
to
really
get
something
out
that
responds
to
this
crisis.
So
that's
where
this
is
all
coming
from.
I
think
it
might
make
the
most
sense
to
go
ahead
and
walk
through
the
recommendations
and
I
hope
that
everybody
has
a
copy
of
that
I'm
going
to
put
a
link
to
our
document
again
in
the
chat
just
so
everybody
has
that
in
case,
you
want
to
pull
it
up
if
you're
on
a
computer.
E
I
ask
a
clarifying
question,
of
course,
so
in
the
memo
there
is
a
sentence,
I
don't
quite
understand.
Ideally,
the
city
would
have
a
communication
plan
in
place.
This
is
what
is
the
next
step
and
it
says
that
the
document
becomes
public,
regardless
of
the
vote
and
I
not
sure
I
understand
that,
because
if
this
is
a
working
draft
and
if.
E
On
to
be
made
public,
then
it
becomes
public,
but
this
language
says,
regardless
of
the
vote.
This
would
become
public
and
my
understanding
from
the
policy
team
in
the
mayor's
office
is
they
want
time
to
Lyndsey's
email.
What
all
I
said
they
want
time
to
look
more
deeply.
It
is
a
very
long
document.
They've
already
started
looking
at
it,
I've
gotten
some
preliminary
responses,
but
they
want
to
marshal
some
more
time
and
energy
so
I.
If
you
could
explain
how
the
document
goes
public,
regardless
of
the
vote.
That's
just
my
one
clarifying
question.
E
A
A
A
Okay,
so
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
go
through
each
of
the
ten
policy
and
again
our
role
is
to
make
recommendations
right.
So
there
are
a
couple
of
places
where
I
think
we've
got
some
disagreement
around
how
things
might
be
implemented,
and
we
can
talk
about
that.
But-
and
we
want
to
be
obviously
I-
think
realistic
is
helpful,
but
this
is
a
policy
vision.
So
some
of
these
things
are
longer-term
and
bigger
thinking.
A
Some
of
you
mentioned
to
me.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
leave
certain
things
off
here.
If
we're
going
to
be
speaking
as
a
commission,
we
better
make
sure
we
address
XYZ.
So,
let's
make
sure
we
put
them
on
here,
even
though
some
of
this
is
really
big
thinking.
So
yes
long
document-
and
some
of
this
requires
a
lot
of
deep
discussion,
but
we
could
certainly
be
voting
to
put
forward
recommendations
today
if
we
choose
to
do
that.
A
A
So
that's
a
good
example
of
yes,
there
might
be
challenges
in
doing
that
and
implementing
it,
but
we
might
want
to
consider
as
a
commission
that
we
recommend
that
we
continue
and
in
fact
recommended
that
we
mandate
the
collection
of
disaggregated
data,
including
gender,
for
all
of
our
city
department
functions.
So
that's
that
recommendation
and
that's
where
it
came
from.
Is
there
any
discussion
about
that
or
questions
about
where
that
came
from
or
how
it's
written,
keeping
an
eye
on
the
chat
window?
I'm.
A
Looking
in
lots
of
places
on
my
screen
here,
yeah
all
right,
I,
don't
see
any
questions
coming
up
in
the
chat
and
again
that
recommendation
is
a
pretty
widely
held
best
practice.
You'll
see
it
listed
in
lots
of
other
groups
that
work
on
gender
equity.
In
fact,
dr.
Angela
Reynolds
just
spoke
last
Friday,
the
new
CEO
of
the
YWCA,
and
she
opened
her
remarks.
Talking
about
the
need
for
collecting
disaggregated
data
very,
very
important
yeah.
A
A
J
F
A
Okay,
this
is
a
weird
way
for
us
to
do
work.
We
all
agree
everybody's
hanging
in
there
appreciate
it
all
right
appreciate
that
one
number
two
which
is
embed
gender
dimensions
and
gender
experts
within
response
plans
and
budget
resources
to
really
build
gender
expertise
into
our
response
teams.
This
is
another
one
that
really
had
specific
language
from
the
UN
women
from
Sita
raid,
our
friends
at
Sita
Mike
had
offered
actually
some
specific
language
from
our
ordinance
when
he
took
a
look
at
that
and
reviewed
it.
A
A
E
Another
clarifying
question
so
I
guess
I'm,
just
not
understanding
if
we're
voting
one
by
one,
then
we
get
a
new
draft
of
this
with
only
things
that
were
approved
and
then
return
to
that.
As
long
as
you
meet
okay,
thank
you
yeah
again,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
Thank
you.
I
think.
A
J
J
You
know,
because
having
experts,
it's
very
important,
because
even
women
in
our
culture
don't
always
understand
what
they're
agreeing
to
or
not
agreeing
to
are
asking
for
so
and
having
experts
involved
in
almost
every
step
that
we've
talked
about
here
in
every
area
it
seems
like
it
would
be
a
really
positive
thing
to
have
throughout
the
recommendations
that
are
here,
but
I
just
want
to
say,
I
think
it's
a
really
really
important
issue.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
A
A
A
Try
to
get
some
I'll
try
and
reinforce
the
who's
speaking
it.
That
is
hard
for
Kalani
to
see
that.
Thank
you
all
right.
We
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
Any
discussion,
further
discussion
about
policy
recommendation
number
two
I
will
call
that
to
a
vote.
Then
Kalani
I'm
going
to
ask
all
in
favor,
but
I'll
ask
if
there
are
any
nays
or
abstains
as
well.
All
in
favor,
aye.
D
A
And
or
any
abstains
all
right,
Kalani
number
two
has
passed
as
written
policy
recommendation
number
three.
This
is
about
prioritizing
resources
and
again
similar
to
the
other
two.
Some
of
this
language
came
from
the
UN
women
from
our
partners
of
Sita.
This
also
comes
from
some
concerns
that
Deb
has
been
sharing
with
us
from
City
Council
about
the
gendered
implications
of
CO,
mid-nineteen,
related
budgets
and
spending.
The
inclusion
of
the
health
and
violence
prevention
came
from
the
ordinance
and
community
partners
directly
from
our
town
hall.
A
Remember
we
had
her
the
Women's,
Center
and
shelter
and
sisters
PGH
join
us
at
our
town
hall.
So
this
is
a
particular
concern,
obviously
of
some
of
those
community
partners,
and
then
we
also
had
the
response
from
chief
flame,
which
was
shared
out
with
us,
so
some
specific
information,
then
I
ground,
prioritizing
these
budgets
just
wanting
to
think
about
how
this
not
only
city
budgets
but
when
we're
acting
as
a
pass-through
for
some
of
the
federal
cares
dollars.
It's
about
some
of
those
questions.
E
This
one
I'm
concerned
and
I
wonder
if
it's
you
mentioned
Jessie
at
the
start,
that
this
was
a
visual
document
and
I
wonder
if
the
word
vision
should
be
in
here
I'm
just
thinking
recommendations,
because
this
really
does
require
people
other
than
ourselves
other
than
the
gender
equity
Commission.
That's
what
I
really
like
the
policy
team
to
help
us
flesh
out
it's
a
little
shorter
than
some
of
the
others,
and
how
would
this
look
for
the
city
to
do
like
what
steps
would
the
city
the
mayor's
office
City
Council
have
to
take
so
that.
E
E
Like
things
that,
actually
it's
pretty
seamless
right,
embed
gender
experts-
yes,
you
do
that.
You
think
that
this,
because
federal
emergency
relief
grants
don't
always
just
come
to
the
city,
they
sometimes
go
through
the
county
to
rather
thing
so
I'm,
just
saying
that
I
personally,
don't
have
a
good
picture
of
federal
emergency
relief
grants.
And
so,
if
somebody
can
explain
to
me,
you
know
upcoming
federal
grants
and
how
this
might
look.
I,
think
the
recommendation
in
general
is
fine.
I
just
feel
like
there's,
not
quite
as
much
data
as
I
said.
E
N
I
wonder
if
a
new
it's
confusing
administrative
actions
for
legislative
ones.
So,
of
course
the
budget
authority
resides
with
City
Council,
and
so,
as
you
say,
it's
not
as
easy
or
obvious
to
you
as
a
member
of
the
administration,
where
some
of
the
earlier
bullet
points
that
you
mentioned,
that
looked
easier
to
you,
we're
able
to
be
executed
administratively,
but
does
it
mean
that
this
who
I
always
have
thought
should
give
policy
recommendations
to
City
Council?
You
know,
should
silence
itself
from
giving
a
policy
recommendation.
Okay,.
N
L
Thanks
Jesse,
so
I
think
I'm
I,
new
I,
hear
you
and
there's
a
lot
of
layers
to
this,
and
so
from
my
standpoint
on
these
recommendations,
and
this
one
in
particular
but
across
the
board,
is
that
these
are
all
things
that
we
want
to
see
implemented
and,
of
course,
there's
gonna
be
details
gonna
be
fleshed
out
when
we
go
through
the
process
of
actually
writing
the
policy.
So
we're
not
writing
policy
right
now.
L
I
think
the
idea
is
that
these
are
things
that
we'd
like
to
see
taken
up
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
details
that
I
think
are
missing
from
all
of
them,
because
they're
not
done
these
are
just
ideas
and
things
that
we
want
to
see
implemented
in
the
city
and
then
once
they're
put
through
the
grinder
for
lack
of
a
better
word,
they're,
probably
going
to
look
a
little
different,
but
what
we're
saying
is
these
are
things
are
important
to
us?
These
are
our
values.
These
are
the
values
we
want
implemented
in
the
city.
E
I
think
struggling
with
the
title
I
mean
I
totally
agree
with
you,
I
hear
what
devastating
I
think
the
document
that
some
pieces
are
so
well
fleshed
out
and
others
aren't
is
just
interesting
to
me.
If
we're
gonna,
give
it
to
someone
and
say
these
are
recommendations
that,
in
fact,
the
ones
that
are
longer
might
not
be
as
useful,
depending
on
with
the
audience
and.
L
E
A
We're
going
to
continue
moving
through
each
of
them
and
have
time
for
discussion
so
that
we
could
do
that
and
Amanda.
Thank
you
and
I
think.
Another
phrase
that
we've
been
using
collectively
is
talking
about
building
the
case
that
this
is
a
case
statement
for
many
of
these
recommendations
and
they
are
just
recommendations.
We're
not
writing
policy
here
and
I.
Think
that
that's,
that
is
the
voice
of
the
gender
equity
Commission,
is
to
put
forward
and
build
the
case
for
the
producers.
J
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
Amanda
thanks
for
clarifying
a
lot
of
that
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
look
and
in
depth
ooh.
We
look
at
them
under
the
right
categories
in
our
heads,
because
we
can't
do
much
of
these
things,
so
we're
recommending
that
that
they
be
taken
up
and
looked
at
by
appropriate
people
and
going
to
get
rewritten
or
read
defined
as
people
go
on
and
work
on
them.
So
thank
you
for
both
of
you
for
making
that
those
clarifications
and.
A
And
if
it
helps
I
had
actually
the
recommendation
from
chief
of
staff
Gilman
that
if
we
do
release
this
as
a
document
that
I
write
a
cover
letter
for
as
a
chair
of
the
Commission,
that
explains
that
this
is
a
case
we're
making
the
case
for
these.
These
are
recommendations.
Some
are
short
term.
Some
are
longer
term
that
we
understand.
Some
of
these
will
require
writing
legislation
that
you
know.
E
E
This
right
and
so
I
wasn't
challenging
whether
these
should
be
made
I'm
wondering
about,
but
I
think
case
statement
makes
sense
and
a
memo.
So
my
concerns
are
addressed.
Thank
you
all
for
being
patient
and
explaining
that
to
me
because
I
needed
to
hear
it
spelled
out,
and
that
was
very
useful
for
me
all
right.
Thank
you.
F
A
C
A
This
one
is
about
the
rooney
role.
This
original
recommendation
really
came
from
the
corporate
equity
and
inclusion.
Roundtable
Rick
had
actually
shared
some
documents
with
me.
I
don't
know
Rick.
When
was
that
two
years
ago
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
while.
So
the
this
has
been
a
conversation.
That's
been
happening
in
our
community,
obviously
for
a
very
long
time,
and
we
had
some
very
specific
updates
that
came
from
Janet
and
her
important
work.
She's
been
responsible
actually
for
implementing
the
executive
order.
A
That
came
out
from
the
mayor,
and
so
she
shared
with
me
how
that
that's
been
working
in
the
city
and
there's
some
additional
recommendations
for
refinements
things
that
we
thought
might
strengthen
and
help
update
our
best
practices.
The
workforce
equity
committee
has
also
reviewed
these
particular
recommendations,
so
this
is
really
for
refinements
or
updates
to
some
of
the
existing
city
practices
that
Janet's
been
really
tasked
with
making
happen
and
has
been
working
on
really
hard
to
the
last.
Oh,
my
goodness,
Janet
now
a
couple
years
that
you've
been
doing
Rooney
roll
yep.
A
But
this
does
certainly
come
up
right
alongside
some
really
important
work
that
our
workforce
equity
group
is
working
on,
and
we
also
just
thought
it
would
make
sense
to
mention
when
we
met
when
that
committee
met.
We
did
talk
about
the
fact
that
we'd
always
imagine
sort
of
three
prongs
and
that
work
one
of
them
was
policy.
A
This
would
be
an
example
of
some
of
the
policy
work
from
that
workforce,
equity
initiative
and,
of
course,
we
have
always
wanted
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
to
be
a
model,
so
we
want
to
model
best
practices
and
if
we're
going
to
put
together
a
workforce,
equity
Council
which
will
be
modeled
on
the
Boston
work
and
we
Pittsburgh
guys
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
model
best
practices.
So
we
talked
about
really
we're,
always
refining
our
best
practices.
We
can
model
them
and
I
answer
any
questions
or
discussion
around
these
specific
items.
J
I
did
I
wonder
about,
and
this
was
something
Sita
was
looking
at
I
wonder
about
expanding
it.
That
I
think
certainly
adding
gender
is
really
important,
but
I
wonder
if
expanding
it
to
represent
the
makeup
of
the
city
would
be
an
even
stronger
way
to
get
diversity.
So
that's
all.
A
So
the
intersectional
diversity
that's
mentioned
there-
are
you
suggesting
I
want
to
make
sure
I
heard
you
correctly,
for
instance,
the
Mansfield
rule
when
the
legal
profession
does
it,
they
actually
include
in
their
definition
of
diversity,
race,
gender
disability,
LGBTQ
status.
Jana
pointed
out,
the
city
already
includes
veteran
status.
What
else
there's
something
else
you
told
me
Janet.
F
A
J
We're
out
of
work,
that's
amazing,
yeah,
yeah
and
I.
Think
this
is
it's
just
really
important,
as
if
it's
a
great
and
I
love
the
chart.
They
just
make
really
such
sense
when
you
look
at
them
that
people
have
to
see
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
this
better,
so
I
love
to
the
charts
in
there.
So
thank
you.
A
I
A
I
A
Important
thing
is
that
we
all
continue
to
update
best
practices
right,
I,
think
we're
trying
to
take
it
much
further
than
the
NFL
there's.
You
know
a
lot
of
evidence
out
there
that
what
they're
doing
isn't
really
working
but
I
think
the
comprehensive
Rooney
rule
with
results
is
really
trying
to
get
at
not
only
existing
best
practices.
The
recommendations
we're
making
could
actually
make
this
work.
Pittsburgh
could
be
a
real
leader,
I
mean
we've
got
Janet.
A
I'm
looking
to
see
if
anybody
else
has
questions
or
comments,
perhaps
suggesting
matching
percentages
you
know
bright
like
that,
would
be
a
question.
Do
you
want
to
match
percentages?
The
recommendation
that
we
have
in
here
as
it's
written
right
now,
which
we
could
certainly
discuss
an
update
mirrors
the
way
the
Mansfield
rule
is
written
in
the
legal
profession
and
I?
A
Don't
know
if
Sabrina's
still
on
with
us-
and
she
knows
anything
about
this-
that's
might
not
be
a
fair
question
just
because
you're
a
lawyer,
you
don't
necessarily
know
about
the
Mansfield
rule,
but
the
way
they
are
doing
that
with
a
lot
of
the
legal
corporations.
I
understand
is
they're
actually
saying
50%
and
within
that
50%.
That
includes
all
aspects
of
intersectional
diversity,
so
gender
race.
You
know
all
these
other
things,
so
we
trying
to
peg
it
to
proportional
representation
within
the
city
is
a
different
strategy.
A
The
one
that
the
legal
profession
is
using
is
saying:
let's
get
50%
diversity,
that's
something
Janet
and
I
talked
about
too,
because
she's
got
a
real
challenge
in
trying
to
get
enough
people
into
that
diverse
pool
to
do
the
hiring.
So
it
seems
to
be
that
50%
pool
is
a
best
practice
right
now.
That's
my
understanding.
D
A
That
might
be
something
that
happens
with
our
workforce:
equity
counsel
right.
We
might
be
asking
people
to
adopt
this
comprehensive,
Rooney
rule
with
results
using
kids
but
Janice,
where
it's
kids
bur
guys
it's.
You
know
this
is
how
we
do
it
and
then
I
don't
know
if
we'll
have
a
certification
process,
but
you
get
boasting
and
bragging
rights
too.
If
you,
if
you
meet
those
requirements,
sure.
J
A
A
Some
of
this,
too,
is
just
getting
all
of
this
in
writing
and
making
sure
that
every
you
know
all
the
hiring
managers
know
that
these
are
the
rules
and
how
do
we
work
with
them
and
again
I
keep
looking
at
Jimin.
She
can't
tell
I'm
looking
at
her
but
I'm
looking
at
her
cos.
You
know
this
is
what
she
she
does
for
the
city
so
well
and
then
lead
to
your
point.
A
A
second:
that's
why
it's
a
separate
recommendation-
and
this
is
the
one
that
comes
right
out
of
the
research-
is
that
that
final
candidate
pool
when
you've
got
it
down
to
your
final
four,
that
it's
at
least
half
with
diverse
candidates
and
that's
really
I
think
the
place
where
we
could
make
the
most
change
frankly
coming
right
out
of
the
research
that
that's
pretty
exciting
research.
So
that's
why
that's
a
separate
recommendation
and
then
the
third
is
that
we
continue.
A
You
know
tracking
and
data
collection
so
that
we
really
understand
how
this
is
working
and
that
we
get
it
to
every
level
of
hiring.
So
that's
the
other
thing
that
has
really
come
out
of
the
data.
Is
that
if
you
just
do
this,
like
the
NFL
just
tried
to
do
it
at
first
up
here
at
the
senior
coaching,
if
you
don't
push
it
all
the
way
down
a
lot
of
research
on
women's
leadership,
now
I'm
calling
it
the
broken.
A
C
K
Heard
Mike's
comments
and
I
wanted
to
tap
onto
what
you
just
said.
The
NFL
bid
changed
their
revised
their
policy
in
regards
to
the
really
rule,
also
to
look
at
higher
management
far
as
GM's
are
concerned,
as
well
as
assisting
coaches
and
so
forth
kind
of
moving
down
the
rung.
So
it's
all
levels
at
this
point
not
just
head
coaching.
That's.
K
D
K
But
I
don't
want
to
bore
you
with
that,
but
the
rule
itself
has
allowed
itself
to
be
evident:
FAR's
diversity,
all
the
way
through
and
they've,
also
incentivized
teams
once
they
did
that
they
could
get
draft
picks
and
move
up
spots
and
so
forth.
So
that's
pretty
exciting
for
the
NFL,
and
it
also
gives
us
an
opportunity
as
well
to
leverage
companies
and
so
forth.
Moving
forward
as
incentives
as
a
city
I
mean
that's
forward,
thinking,
that's
kind
of
out-of-the-box
thinking,
but
that
gives
us
a
playbook
so
to
speak,
to
consider
some
other
options.
Well,.
A
In
fact,
what
we're
recommending
is
even
more
robust,
which
is
exciting,
I
think
you
know
the
city
already
is
doing
in
some
ways,
things
that
are
even
more
robust,
which
is
why,
of
course,
and
the
corporate
equity
and
inclusion
roundtables
been
calling
it
as
you
brought
to
our
attention
Rick
the
comprehensive
Rooney
rule
with
results
right,
the
even
more
robust
version,
so
I
think
that's
exciting
that
we
could
be
leading
on
this.
I
am
paying
attention
to
time.
A
I
know
that
we
are
quite
liable
to
either
run
over
or
need
additional
time
to
talk
through
each
of
these,
but
so
I
am
not
trying
to
rush
us,
but
if
we
do
have
any
sense
of
consensus,
I
heard
you
know,
update
Mike
I
can
update
the
language
so
that
I
reflect
the
actual
and
of
all
practices.
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
Any
other
questions.
Does
anybody
care
to
bring
this
to
a
vote.
A
A
A
Thank
you,
I
hear,
no
opposed
any
abstentions,
no
abstentions.
Colony
number
four
has
passed
with
the
provision
that
I
will
update
that
NFL
language.
Thank
you
thank
you
to
our
football
fans
for
keeping
us
posted
and
how
cool
that
we
get
to
call
it
something
Rooney
after
Pittsburgh
right
so
number,
five
promote
pay,
equity
and
hiring
by
requiring
pay
transparency
and
banning
prior
salary.
History
questions
this
particular
piece
of
recommendations.
These
two
recommendations
actually
are
often
bundled
by
other
cities:
municipalities,
even
states.
A
They
will
often
put
these
two
things
together
and
our
Boston
colleagues
actually
on
a
call.
Gosh,
Jana
I
think
that
was
like
two
weeks
ago,
when
we
were
talking
with
them.
They
specifically
were
mentioning
to
us
how
pay
transparency
is
one
of
the
most
effective
pay
equity
measures
to
close
the
wage
gap
for
people.
A
So
I
just
want
to
address
that,
and
in
light
of
the
context
of
how
we're
thinking
about
these
policy
recommendations
each
one
of
those
recommendations
for
policy
they're
produced
these
are
the
probably
the
most
specific
things
in
the
document
would
require
obviously
really
important
work
with
our
members
of
City,
Council
and
community
members
to
get
some
legs
behind
this
right,
and
it
would
require
us
to
challenge
Pittsburgh
standing
as
a
second-class
City,
and
there
is
legal
disagreement
around
this.
So
this
is
not
settled.
A
Law
I've
spoken
with
people
who
have
multiple
opinions
about
this,
and
this
is
actually
why
things
get
challenged
in
the
courts
and
go
up
to
the
Supreme
Court,
and
this
is
what
happened
with
Pittsburgh's
paid
sick
leave
right.
We
passed
paid
sick
leave
not
only
for
city
employees,
but
we
passed
that
for
all
employees
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
that
got
challenged
and
Pittsburgh
won
that
at
the
state,
Supreme
Court
level.
A
Probably
if
we
put
these
forward,
we
would
be
asking
our
city
colleagues
to
go
out
there
and
be
willing
to
defend
something
all
the
way
back
up
to
the
Pennsylvania
Supreme
Court
right.
This
is
not
going
to
be
without
its
challengers.
These
are
efforts
to
regulate
private
employers
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
it
is
true
that
we
have
second
class.
A
They
actually
call
us
that
a
second-class
City,
it's
terrible
language,
we're
not
permitted
to
put
affirmative
obligations
on
private
employers,
but
we
are
a
home
rule
city
and
we
are
permitted
to
vote
on
our
own
legislation.
So
that's
why
there
is
some
disagreement
among
lawyers
around
this
again
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
we
figure
all
of
that
out
right
now,
I
think
as
a
commission.
A
If
we
want
to
think
about
this
as
our
vision
or
as
a
case
statement
for
these,
we
could
be
recommending
that
we
work
with
our
city
partners
and
when
I
spoke
with
chief
Gillman,
actually
called
me
yesterday,
and
he
said,
he'd
be
very
happy
to
convene,
for
instance,
a
group
to
talk
about
some
of
these
things
and
how,
because
obviously
it
needs
to
be
strategic
which
which
one
gets
passed
first,
which
one
the
city's
willing
to
defend.
We
would
want
I'm,
hoping
that
dad
would
help
us
figure
out
with
City
Council.
A
You
know
which
piece
goes
first,
which
things
get
bundled,
but
in
speaking
with
many
of
you,
I
I,
heard
loud
and
clear
that
these
were
all
priorities
that
really
rest
on
our
our
values
and
our
principles.
So
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
sort
of
five.
Six
and
seven
all
bring
up
this
issue
that
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
resolve,
and
even
lawyers
disagree.
It's
going
to
require
additional
work,
but
the
question
before
us
is:
do
we
want
to
put
these
forward
as
recommendations.
C
E
I
absolutely
think
thinking,
big
and
visionary
is
really
important,
and
these
three
five
to
seven
do
strike
me
as
things
that
there's
momentum
on
in
the
city
that
we
could
really
work
very
carefully
with
the
administration
and
I
would
love
to
hear
what
Commissioner
gross
things,
because
I
do
think.
City
Council,
that's
the
piece
that
that
I'm,
not
an
expert
on.
E
N
E
N
Of
course,
the
the
paid
sick
leave
ordinance
that
is
in
place
and
that
did
finally
take
effect
only
this
year
in
2020
right
in
the
first
weekend
of
the
coronavirus
stay
at
home,
shelter
in
place.
Orders
is
a
city
ordinance,
so
it
was
legislation
that
I
was
happy
to
be
a
co-sponsor
on
was
it
2015
was
the
26th
I
fact:
I
lost
the
track
right,
and
so
that
can
only
mean
a
active,
City
Council.
So
again,
just
kind
of
keeping
which
body
of
government
can
do
what
the
administration
cannot
amend
that
ordinance.
N
N
N
And
so
we
were
relieved
that
we
at
least
have
these
levels
of
protection
that
have
only
come
into
place.
Luckily,
actually
very
good
timing
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
so
that
our
workers
who
are
accruing
on
their
pizza
Cleave
hours.
So
any
amendment
would
be
a
legislative
process
at
the
city
level.
But
we
should
anticipate
that
we
could
see
those
additional
challenges
and
then
we
would.
The
downside
risk
is
that
we
would
have
a
court
throw
out
the
existing
protections
that
we
waited
three
years
for
so
there's
there's
an
upside
on
a
downside.
A
Around
the
pay
equity
issues
in
number
five
and
the
paid
safe,
baby
number,
seven
again,
I
think
those
are
four
things
that
we
need
to
work
with:
City
Council
on
right,
right,
okay,
so
this
would
be
legislative
initiatives
that
need
to
come
through
either
your
office
or
working
with
you
know.
Our
allies
in
City
know.
A
And
obviously
we
would
need
to
have
lots
of
ducks
in
a
row.
I
think
that
you
know
that's
what
I've
heard
from
everybody.
We
can
build
the
case
and
make
a
case
statement
for
this
and
make
a
recommendation
and
I
think
our
voice
will
be
used
to
bolster
then
additional
work,
but
I,
don't
think
anybody's,
fooling
themselves
that
these
are
gonna
happen
tomorrow,
it's
going
to
require
figuring
out
strategically
with
the
city
also
which
ones
you
know.
A
A
Just
so
everybody
knows
there
will
be
a
companion
bill
coming
to
county
council
in
an
effort
to
get
their
legislation
to
mirror
what
the
city
has
already
done,
but
because,
as
Deb
said,
number
of
years
have
passed,
they're
going
to
be
introducing
that
with
these
additional
refinements,
and
it
has
been
suggested
to
us
that
we
could
strengthen
our
law
by
adding
these
amendments.
Now
again
lots
of
strategy
conversations
need
to
have.
N
Them-
and
it
was
a
very
large
coalition
of
advocacy
groups
that
I
know
just
so.
You
have
spoken
with
some
of
the
representatives
who
were
helpful
in
drafting
the
language,
creating
the
momentum,
doing
advocacy
at
all
kinds
of
levels
and
and
that
that
coalition
yeah
is
coalescing
again
to
kind
of
to
help
push
this
agenda
so
and.
A
N
A
C
J
A
I'm,
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
So
I
did
reach
out
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
campaign.
That's
working
on
fam
paid
family
leave
right,
so
there's
paid
sick
leave,
paid
family
leave
and
paid
safely.
All
different
things
paid
family
leave
is
statewide
campaign
aimed
at
the
state
of
Pennsylvania.
They
have
a
very
separate
model
that
really
doesn't
work
at
the
city
level
and
frankly
they
they
have
asked.
A
Please
don't
work
on
this
at
the
city
level,
because
it
will
undermine
some
very
important
work
that
is
very
close
to
getting
passed
at
the
state
level,
and
that
has
to
do
with
the
the
model
that
they're
using
which
I
can
explain
more.
But
the
the
point
is
our
allies
have
said.
Please
don't
do
that
at
the
city
level,
it
will
undermine
what's
helpful
from
that
same
coalition
he's
also
working
on
paid
sick
leave
locally.
A
So
again,
lots
of
people
are
working
on
these
things
together
and
that
coalition
said
it
would
really
be
helpful
to
hear
from
the
gender
equity
Commission
about
paid
sick
leave
paid
safely
and
the
pay
equity
pieces.
But
that's
why
you
don't
see
anything
in
here.
Specifically,
does
that
mean,
of
course,
it
means
we
can
support
a
state-level
action.
These
recommendations
are
all
aimed
at
the
city.
A
These
are
all
things
coming
out
of
the
print
crisis
that
we're
recommending
to
the
city
rather
than
getting
involved
in
state-level,
which,
of
course,
is
what
our
policy
analysts
help
us
do
when
there
are
opportunities
for
us
to
use
our
voice,
oh
and
Ernest
and
Anu
will.
Let
us
know
how
we
can
engage
that
I
also.
E
Wanted
this
question
I've
been
talking
to
the
folks
in
the
mayor's
office
who
are
actually
on
the
ground
dealing
with
the
phone
calls
for
pick
safely,
like
so
literally
talking
to
folks,
and
they
would
be
happy
to
come
and
make
a
presentation
so
that
we
could
actually
there
they
are
see
what's
happening
since
this
legislation
has
been
in
place.
How
they're
responding
what
so
we
could
get
some
real-time
information.
E
E
E
E
A
We're
just
past
4:30
I
think
we're.
You
know
again
that
I'm
not
trying
to
rush
us,
but
I
think
if
we
consider
these
three
potentially
have
some
real
overlap,
that
it
might
be
a
way
to
move
us
on
to
the
discussion
of
the
last
couple,
and
if
people
are
willing
to
stay
with
us,
we
can
finish
the
discussion.
If
we
really
get
too
far
past
our
time,
we
can
schedule
additional
time
this.
F
A
Lee
has
seconded
that
motion.
We
have
an
amendment
also
that
we
would
put
in
supporting
language
that
we
do
support
state
level.
Family
pay
paid
family
leave.
There
are
so
many
paid
leaves
paid
family
leave
at
the
state
level,
but
again
this
documents
just
looking
at
our
City
Council.
So
we
didn't
engage
that,
but
I
can
update
that
Lee
additional
conversation
about
these
three
amendments
or
policy
recommendations.
Sorry
all
right,
seeing
none
I
can
call
that
to
a
vote.
A
A
E
E
A
A
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it.
Some
of
the
earlier
presentations
were
longer
than
I
expected,
so
I
do
want
to
give
us
the
chance
to
have
this
conversation
this
month
and
not
have
to
delay
another
month.
So
the
next
recommendation
number
8
around
expanding
access
to
quality,
early
hood
child
care.
This
one
I
heard
from
lots
of
you
on
people
saying
you
know
we.
How
can
we
not
talk
about
child
care
if
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
responding
to
this
Co
mid-nineteen
crisis?
Because
boy
did
have
we
been
hearing
that
loud
and
clear
from
the
community?
A
This,
of
course,
is
an
issue
that
many
many
many
of
us
have
been
working
on
for
many
years
and
it
comes
right
out
of
our
own
ordinance.
Some
of
this
language
is
from
Sita
and
the
UN
women
there's
some
really
specific
recommendations
here
from
Tiffany
Simoneau
who
works
in
the
mayor's
office
on
these
issues,
some
language
from
trying
together,
which
is
a
big
organization
that
used
to
be
the
Association
for
the
education
of
young
children,
and
so
there's
a
reference
in
here
to
the
2019
report
for
County
level
interventions.
A
N
You
yeah
it's
the
women
caucus
that
City
Council
has
been
working
on,
trying
to
advocate
for
City
support
for
childcare
businesses
for
a
number
of
years,
just
to
reiterate
for
listeners
that
not
only
does
do
adequate
and
safe
in
quality
childcare
help
our
people,
who
children
that
need
care,
get
to
work
confidently
and
know
that
their
kids
are
safe.
We
know
that
it's
an
integral
part
of
early
childhood
education
so
that
those
kids
are
better
prepared
once
they
get
into
school
and
then,
finally,
also
that
we
know
that
child
care
business
is
usually
about.
N
Half
a
non-profit
and
half
for
for-profit
are
also
almost
entirely
women.
Two
businesses,
a
large
variety
of
them
minority
women,
know
businesses.
We
also
know
that
they're
distributed
across
the
city,
their
neighborhood
serving
businesses,
they
tend
to
be
mirror
where
people
live
and,
and
so
they're
worth
supporting.
N
But
that's
still
not
enough.
We
also
know
that's
still
not
even
remotely
enough
and,
as
you
say,
they
need
cash
support.
Just
like
so
many
other
small
businesses
do.
I
did
recently
ask
the
Urban
Redevelopment
Authority,
who
has
gotten
at
the
lion's
share
of
the
first
round
of
the
Pittsburgh,
cares
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds
that
some
nine
million
dollars.
You
have
to
fact-check
me
on
the
on
the
numbers.
N
It
at
the
time
we
were
talking
last
week
only
had
the
number
of
loans,
closed
and
I
said.
Well,
that's
interesting,
but
it
would
be
even
more
contextualized
if
you
could
tell
us
council
on
the
gender
equity
Commission
what
the
applicant
pool
was
and
so
that
we
know
that
there.
You
know
what
it
looked
like
proportionally
and
the
first
numbers
that
they
have
it
looked
like
they
were
doing
a
really
good
job
of
doing
outreach.
A
Thank
you
Thank
You,
Deb
you're.
Getting
lots
of
thank
yous
here
in
the
chat
to
to
echo.
Is
there
anything
from
that
that
you'd,
like
to
see
then
incorporated
in,
are
any
changes
that
need
to
be
made
to
the
specific
proposal
that
we
have
here.
You
know
specifically
we're
looking
at
number
eight
a
recommendation
to
expand
access
to
quality,
affordable
childcare.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
chance
to
bring
this
I.
N
Like
the
you
know,
a
this
is
part
of
the
discussion
and
all
of
the
items
like
what
level
to
pitch
it
at.
You
know
how
detailed
the
short-term,
concrete
or
high,
how
high
level
and
vision
and
I
think
that
it's
just
important
to
say
it
now,
in
its
chronological
context,
that
in
the
responses
to
coronavirus
and
in
the
city's
response
to
the
pandemic
and
in
our
kind
of
capacities
that
we
should
have
these
policy
items
in
mind,
so
I
just
think
it's
appropriate.
At
that
point,.
A
A
F
A
A
Great
that
one
passes,
Thank
You
gang
I
appreciate
patience.
We
have
just
a
couple
more
minutes:
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
get
through
the
next
two,
with
your
patience
and
good
humor,
looking
at
number
nine
supporting
local
women-owned
businesses.
This
is
another
one,
that's
making
some
pretty
high-level
statements.
A
This
came
to
us
at
our
town
hall
by
Tammy
Thompson's.
If
you
recall
she
was
talking,
she
works
at
circles,
Pittsburgh
about
what
she
was
seeing.
Some
very
specific
recommendations
came
to
us
from
influence.
Looked
over,
the
senator
women's
entrepreneurship
and
Tiffany
said.
Simoneau
also
contributed
some
language
here
coming
out
of
the
mayor's
office
around
how
many
small
businesses
are
also
childcare
right.
So
these
two
things
have
had
a
lot
of
conversation
and
we
have
new
friends
joining
us.
Hello,
friends
hear.
C
K
I
K
A
A
A
J
K
C
A
And
he
abstained.
All
right
go
women,
entrepreneurs'!
We
love
you,
you
passed,
and
that
brings
us
to
our
last
recommendation
in
the
document.
Thank
you
again
for
your
patience.
This
is
perhaps
one
of
the
broadest
ones.
That's
setting
more
of
a
vision
statement,
recommending
the
piloting
or
looking
into
piloting
a
ubi
program,
which
of
course,
in
some
ways,
is
already
happening
at
the
federal
level.
So
this
is
a
looking
at
some
models
of
some
other
cities.
A
This
really
draws
from
some
terrific
work
that
Anu
has
done
in
a
white
paper
that
came
out
of
our
committee
on
Department
analysis
committee
actually
discussed
this
and
then
asked
her
to
look
into
this
and
she
created
a
white
paper.
So
that's
where
this
work
actually
started,
and
she
has
already
submitted
this
some
of
this
to
the
mayor's
office.
So
a
lot
of
this
is
her
language
directly.
E
If
I
could
just
add,
it
was
a
memo
and
and
I
mentioned
it
to
the
city
departments,
committee
meeting
and
Deb
had
expressed
interest,
and
so
I'd
shared
it
with
others,
and
this
is,
is
the
biggest
I
think
stretch
in
these
policy
recommendations
that
it
is
not
one
that
we
that
anything
is
currently
in
place
like
as
far
as
I
know.
That
looks
anything
like
this
in
Pittsburgh,
so
just
yeah,
so
just
to
give
you
some
of
the
history
of
the
background,
I'm
not
sure
it's
possible,
it
doesn't
belong
here.
E
I
think
it's
personally
worth
discussing,
but
once
again
there
it
might
be
the
biggest
reach.
But
let's
be
visionary
and
of.
A
N
Should
say
thank
you
for
that
work.
Also,
in
that
conversation,
that
I
knew
it
was
just
referring
to
I
said,
like
you
know,
I,
don't
I
I
think
it's
important
for
this
group
to
go
ahead
and
think
big
guess
it's
it's
something
that
is
only.
We
found
two
cities
piloting
in
the
United
States,
and
yet
we
know,
especially
during
this
crisis,
so
many
Americans
have
lost
their
paychecks.
N
That's
coming,
no
matter
what
that
our
salaried
workers
there's
so
many
of
our
neighbors
who
are
not
salaried
workers,
and
it
really
makes
a
difference
in
all
the
impact
that
is
positive
for
the
whole
community
right.
So
it's
not
only
a
positive
impact
for
those
households,
but
is
a
way
to
kind
of
keep
all
of
the
functions.
Household
networks,
greater
family
networks,
neighborhood
network,
small
business
networks
going
to
kind
of
get
the
income
directly
where
it's
needed
so
appreciate
the
work
I'd.
A
A
Okay,
we
have
number
10
buddy
being
put
forward
and
we
really
are
way
past
time.
I'm
going
to
wrap
us
up,
we've
obviously
need
to
have
additional
conversation
about
process
and
the
gender
equity
principles
and
best
practices.
Piece
of
this
document
I
think
we
can
continue
talking
about
in
a
draft
and
online.
A
So
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
I
personally
take
the
next
step,
which
is
to
take
your
amendments
back
I
have
a
couple
of
things
written
down
here
and
get
them
into
the
draft
of
the
document
that
we
have
right
now
and
share
that
back
out
with
all
of
you.
We
can
have
additional
conversation,
I'm
very
happy
to
draft
a
cover
memo
to
go
on
there
from
us,
and
we
can
continue
talking
about
that
and
then
we
can
move
forward
to
releasing
that
officially,
as
our
recommendations.
M
Just
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
Polish
policy
shop
on
at
the
office
of
equity
and
the
mayor's
office,
I
want
to
say
that
we
take
their
recommendation
seriously
and
that
I,
although
you
it's
not
as
Yuri
iterated
in
multiple
times,
it's
not
your
job,
to
ask
who
is
gonna,
be
implementing
them.
I,
think
that
is
a
big
part
of
our
job
and
so
I
think
moving
forward.
M
A
You
we
appreciate
that
there'll
be
many
many
next
steps.
This
is
just
just
the
beginning,
so
we
will
get
that
shared
out.
I
personally
will
make
put
that
on
my
list
and
get
that
shared
out
right
away.
So
we
can
have
some
additional
online
conversation
before
we
release
what
we
consider
to
be
our
final
document
for
sharing
a.
E
A
Link
should
be
correct.
Okay,
great
well,
I
will
update
with
the
amendments
that
I've
written
down
here
that
we've
passed
and
put
that
now
that
we
voted
those
ten
things
you
know
are
in
there,
I
will
draft
the
cover.
I
will
share
back
out
with
you.
We
can
have
conversation
about
the
other
pieces
of
that
document
if
we
want
to
include
our
gender
equity
principles
and
best
practices.
