point
pull
me
aside

think

A
Thank
you,
Kathy
any
questions
or
comments
on
the
minutes
from
last
month.
A
So
moving
through
to
the
reports
of
the
officers,
boards
and
standing
committees,
so
the
first
one
was
the
Pirates
meeting
report
and
the
next
meeting
I.
Don't
think
Sue
sent
me
her
notes
on
that.
One
I
don't
know
if
Billy
or
anyone
else
who
was
there
would
like
to
speak
to
it.
G
G
Don't
think
we
did
either
it
was
a
pretty
positive
meeting.
We
kicked
around
a
lot
about
what
what
we
thought
worked
and
needed
needed
improved
about
last
year's
Pride
night.
There
was
some
discussion
about
what
they
were
going
to
do
this
year
for
Pride
I.
Don't
have
notes
in
front
of
me
so
I,
don't
exactly
remember
what
all
we
covered.
G
We
got
an
update
on
their
training
and
they're
they're,
still
continuing
with
that
Hugh
Lane's
involved,
and
they
seem
very
happy
with
the
progress
they've
made.
We
talked
a
lot
about
then
them
needing
training
on
Brown.
The
players
there's
some
concern
around
whether
or
not
the
players
will
be
willing
to
participate
in
and
pride
night.
G
There
was
an
indication
that
some
of
them
would
not
be,
which
was
a
concern,
so
we
talked
about
how
maybe
we
could
do
some
Outreach
and
and
training
with
the
roster
itself,
which
you
know
is
dicey,
considering
their
contract
situations
and
everything,
but
a
lot
of
it
hinged
on
what
what
they
would
be
able
to
do
during
spring
training.
G
But
overall
it
was
a
pretty
positive
meeting
and
we
agreed
to
to
meet
again
and
continue
our
discussions
around
pride
and
we
seem
to
have
a
really
good
positive
working
relationship
with
the
team.
I,
don't
know,
Billy
am
I,
leaving
anything
else
out.
B
B
B
You
know
Superstars
the
wonderful
athletes
but
the,
but
but
everybody
in
the
organization,
including
the
police,
who
staffed
the
stadium,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
employees
that
interact
with
the
public
that
are
closer
to
the
public
and
the
need
for
for
diversity,
training
and
sensitivity.
B
Training
for
them
was
expressed
by
the
pirate
leadership
that
was
at
the
meeting
with
without
prompting
and
with
really
some
would
seemed
to
be
some
pretty
deep
understanding
of
the
issue
and
why
that
type
of
training
was
important,
as
well
as
being
pretty
Frank
about
some
of
the
some
of
the
resistance
to
that
from
some
employees,
but
that
they
have
had
some
success
in
in
overcoming
and
and
dissolving
some
of
that
resistance.
But
they
have
a
good
ways
to
go
and
they
know
that
they
were
I.
B
Think
pretty
sober
about
what
the
the
world
looks
like
right
now
and
but
it
was,
it
was
heartening,
it
was
not,
it
was
really
it
was
it
was.
It
was
good
in
the
way
that
it
there
were
a
lot
of
things
that
just
didn't
need
to
be
explained
when
you
know
in
other
meetings,
sometimes
with
organizations
when
you're
a
contingent
of
queer
people
in
your
having
that
type
of
interaction
that
there's
a
lot
of
explaining.
That
needs
to
be
done,
and
in
this
case
there
was
less
so
so
I
thought
that
was
pretty
good.
E
G
Yeah
they
were
I
mean
they
were
really
really
both
aware
of
and
intend
to
avoid
any
kind
of
slip.
Ups,
like
we've,
seen
with
some
of
the
NHL
teams
around
their
pride
nights
so
which,
which
was
really
I,
mean
in
my
opinion,
was
positive.
They're.
G
It's
yeah
I
bring
up
the
players
mostly
because
that
that
was
a
sticking
point
for
them
and
an
area
concern
because
that's
the
most
public-facing
part
of
the
of
the
organization
and
again
like
they've,
seen
what
what's
happened
with
with
some
of
the
NHL
teams
and
they're.
You
can
play
two
nights
and
you
know
some
of
them
haven't
gone
as
smoothly
as
I'm
sure
the
teams
would
like.
So
you
know
they're
they're,
trying
to
avoid
that
sort
of
situation,
which
I
think
makes
sense.
A
G
A
Nothing
else
on
that,
one
that
we
can
move
to
the
next
one
commissioner
terms
and
attendance.
So
Adam
Morgan
you've
been
working
on
some
things
here,
so
I
don't
know.
If
you
want
to
give
us
an
update
on
some
of
your
progress
there.
C
Yeah,
so
you
Marcus,
Lenny
and
jam
your
reappointments
have
been
submitted
to
council,
so
whoop
whoop
yay.
Otherwise
there
aren't
any
other
updates
regarding
that.
I
think
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
there
is
at
least
one
seat
that
is
open,
so
we're
just
looking
for
other
candidates
to
bring
in
to
this
group
here,
but
otherwise
we're
just
moving
on
ahead.
B
Well,
the
there's
not
a
absolutely
defined
number
of
seats
on
the
commission.
We
we
have
had
17.
That
was
a
number
that
we
reached.
The
we
went
back
to
16
when
Britain
mock
resigned
from
the
commission,
so
we
we
have
16
right
now
that
seat.
B
If
the
mayor
considers
it
vacant,
that's
good
news
and
then
it
can
be
filled,
and
but
we
also
have
you
know
one,
commissioner,
who
has
not
been
present
since
before
we
have
adopted
our
bylaws
in
July
of
21
and
has
not
been
present
at
any
meeting
since
then,
so
that
that
also
needs
to
be
addressed.
But
I
think
that
Morgan
and
the
mayor's
office
are
aware
of
that.
We've
communicated
that
a
number
of
times
the
so
I
think.
Potentially
there
are
two
vacant
seats.
A
E
B
I
think
folks
are
pretty
good
at
notifying
me
at
this
point
so
that
I
can
keep
accurate
attendance.
You
know
I
want
to
be
accurate
in
our
minutes.
Of
course,
the
my
mistake
on
missing
one
commissioner
at
the
last
meeting
will
be
corrected.
B
I,
don't
upload
the
minutes
to
our
Google
drive
until
they've
been
adopted
by
the
the
commission
so
right
now
all
the
minutes
for
our
commission
from
January
23
back
to
September
21
are
in
folders
as
well
as
our
agenda
are
in
folders
on
the
our
Google
Drive
and
they're
they're
in
PDF
form
and
and
ready
for
a
placement
on
our
web
page
on
a
documents
tab.
B
If
we
establish
that
which
I
think
is
something
we
need
to
do,
because
they
should
be
publicly
accessible,
that
will
that
will
be
a
permanent
record
of
attendance
of
the
Commissioners,
because
it's
noted
in
the
in
the
minutes
of
who
was
present
each
time.
I
separately,
keep
a
record
of
it
to
inform
the
co-chairs
of
of
the
attendance
of
the
Commissioners
so
that
they
can
fulfill
their
duties
in
reminding
Commissioners
who
might
be
absent
without
notification,
but
I
think
things
are
working
pretty
well.
B
We
have
a
actually
a
pretty
good,
even
though
we're
a
little
nervous
about
Quorum.
We
have
a
really
pretty
good
track
record.
There's
only
been
two
times
where
Quorum
interrupted
us
one
time
we
didn't
hold
a
meeting
and
one
time
we
ended
a
meeting
early
because
we
lost
Quorum
during
the
meeting,
but
other
than
that.
We've
we've
done
well,
I.
Think,
okay,.
A
Yeah
I
would
agree
and
what
I
I
have
a
call
with
Dave
from
imp
early
next
week,
so
I'll
have
them.
I
think
what
I
can
do
is
I
can
just
give
him
the
link
to
the
Google
Drive.
So
that
way,
once
you
upload
it
they'll
just
be
able
to
access
them.
B
It
could
be
well
I'll,
say
it
now,
since
we
touched
on
the
the
issue,
you
know
we
do
have
a
vacant
Outreach
coordinator
position,
one
of
the
six
officers.
That
person
would
be
more
close
to
monitoring
the
web
page
and
maybe
having
some
input
on
the
design
of
it.
But
you
know
I
think
we
should.
B
We
should
have
someone
on
the
lead
of
working
with
the
city
tech
people
on
on
how
we
want
our
page
to
look
also-
and
in
the
absence
of
in
the
absence
of
a
coordinator,
I'm
fine,
with
being
a
contact
on
that
since
I'm
familiar
with
all
our
documents,
there's
other
things
we
need
to
to
have
that
accessible
on
our
web
page
that
we've
produced,
and
there
should
be
someone
in
contact
with
the
people
who
are
going
to
upload
and
start
placing
things.
H
So
I
also
just
want
to
throw
this
out
there
to
let
folks
know:
Hey
apologies
for
being
a
little
late.
I
was
in
a
meeting
with
the
mayor,
but
glad
to
be
here
tonight
with
you
all,
but
the
we're
in
the
final
stages
of
the
RFP
process
to
get
a
new
content
management
system
for
the
city's
website,
which
is
going
to
require
us
to
do
some.
You
know
some
work
on
the
back
end
and
the
front
end
and
doing
some
some
work
there.
H
So
you
know
I,
think
design
wise
for
what
this
means
for
us
is
is
hopefully
a
better
experience
for
the
end
user
easier
to
find
us
on
the
on
the
city
website
and
navigation
Wise
from
that
perspective,
but
also,
like
you
know,
moving
forward
I
think,
hopefully
a
more
streamlined,
easier
way
for
us
to
get
content
up
onto
onto
the
website,
because
because
right
now
it's
a
it's
a
custom
system
that
we
utilize
for
this.
But
so
we're
really
excited
about
this.
A
And
Billy
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
connect
you
with
Smythe,
while
we
or
I'll
send
you
a
quick
email.
We
can
just
map
out
what
we
want
on
the
page
already,
and
then
we
can
just
tell
somebody
I
think:
that's
how
you.
A
No
worries,
I
I
can
imagine
always
something
happening,
so
we
can
just
map
out
what
we
want
to
go
on
what
page
and
then
he
can
help
us
set
it
up
and
put
it
on
the
page,
so
we
can
at
least
have
that
there
for
people
if
they
they
happen
to
find
it.
H
A
I,
do
oh
yeah,
that's
the
one
who
I've
been
working
with
on
the
to
get
the
webpage
up.
So
that's
so
we
can.
We
can
work
with
them
to
get
all
of
that
on
there.
I
I
The
budget
isn't
defined
and
you
know
so
I
think
it
might
be
better
for
us.
If
you
know
if
somebody
needs
something
printed,
that
I
could
go
to
Patrick
and
have
him
point
me
in
the
direction
of
the
department
within
the
city.
That
I
could
maybe
ask
for
those
things
printed
or
something
like
that.
I,
just
don't
I,
don't
think
we're
gonna
I
think
until
we
have
an
expense
that
we
want
to
push
through
or
to
ask.
If
we
could
get
resources,
we're
going
to
be
sitting
in
the
there
is
no
budget
mode.
B
Well,
I
think
you're
you're
very
wise
to
present
it
that
way.
I
think
that
we
should,
you
know,
just
move
forward,
maybe
when
we're
in
person
next
month,
that
will
help
us
to
sort
of
energize
around
being
more
action,
oriented
than
just
meeting
oriented
and
because
I
know,
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
it
later
today.
B
But
we
we
started
last
time
about
in
our
presence
at
community
events
but
in
particular
pride
events,
the
very
large
number
that
already
were
listed
and
the
things
that
we
might
need
when
we
do
sort
of
our
ambassadorship
activities
in
the
community,
as
well
as
the
things
in
our
goals
that
we
want
to
map
out
and
start
accomplishing
and
that
when
we
need
something,
we
should
identify
what
we
need
and
Denise.
Yes,
we
should
go
to
you
and
you
communicated
to
Patrick
and
say
look.
B
This
is
our
plan
for
this
activity
and
it
needs
to
be
supported.
What
can
the
city
do
for
us
and
both
Bruce
and
the
the
mayor
have
indicated
that
there
are
different
ways
to
to
support
and
fund
things
and
that
we
should
be
proactive
in
in
making
requests.
B
So
I
think
we
should
just
assume
we
have
an
infinite
budget
and
ask
for
what
we
need
and
when
we,
because
that's
kind
of
the
message
we
got
I
think
and
let's
ask
for
what
we
need
and
if
it
happens
it
happens,
but
yeah
I
think
you're
absolutely
right
to
take
that
posture
and
I
think
we
should
look
at
it
as
a
positive.
I
J
B
No
I
pretty
much
did
it
in
the
in
assisting
with
attendance
above
and
they,
the
only
other
thing
and
I
said
I'd
do
this
before
so
now,
I'm
really
gonna.
Do
it
since
I'm
embarrassed
that
I
didn't
is
send
out
a
list
of
all
the
meeting
dates
for
the
remainder
of
2023?
They
are
the
third
Thursday
of
each
month,
but
I'll
put
it
into
a
calendar
document
and
send
it
to
all
the
commissioners.
A
That
sounds
good
and
then
Denise
I
think
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
Outreach
stuff.
If
anything
else
to
add
to
the
and
put
on.
I
Community
just
to
remind
her,
if
there's
things
on
social,
that
anybody
wants
us
to
post,
you
know
just
you
know.
Let
me
know
what
that
is
and
if
there's
any
events
that
you
think
are
worth
listing
out
for
the
public,
we
can
definitely
post
those
events
as
well.
A
That's
great
so.
K
Denise,
do
we
send
that
directly
to
you
only
so
we
don't
have
everybody.
You
know
reply
all
kind
of
things
going
on.
A
A
Myself
or
anyone's
an
email,
we
could
talk
about
that
further.
What
that
could
look
like.
A
All
right
so
moving
on
to
the
next
section,
we
have
a
guest
presenter
with
us
today,
Megan
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Megan
to
talk
a
little
bit
to
us
from
the
Fair
Housing
Partnership,
so
Polaris.
J
Thank
you
very
much
Marcus,
it's
exciting
I
can't
believe
it's
already
March
and
we're
discussing
2023
Pride
I.
Remember
when
we
were
on
the
North
Shore
before
it
went
downtown
and
I'm
sure
there
are
those
of
you
who
remember
before
that
as
well,
but
I'm
excited
to
see
what
we
produced
this
year
for
as
we
start
to
stabilize
a
little
bit
after
covid-19.
J
My
name
is
Megan,
confer
Hammond
I'm
the
executive
director
of
The
Fair
Housing
Partnership
of
Greater
Pittsburgh
I,
won't
take
up
too
much
of
your
time
tonight,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
engage
and
talk
and
I
I
really
am
excited
that
the
commission
exists
and
that
in
the
fair
housing
space
we
are
looking
to
push
forward
in
2023.
We've
spent
a
lot
of
time
due
to
covid-19
in
a
state
of
stasis
and
there's
a
lot
of
exciting
outcomes.
J
I
think
that
we
can
see
happen
in
Pittsburgh
moving
forward,
so
just
to
explain
is
that
FHP
is
a
private
non-profit
and
we
contract
with
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
and
their
office.
J
If
they're
housed
in
an
equal
opportunity
as
a
Fair,
Housing,
Organization
FHP
Advocates
on
behalf
of
victims
of
housing
discrimination,
whereas
the
Pittsburgh
Commission
on
human
relations
is
a
neutral
fact
finder,
so
FHP
and
pchr
are
wonderful
collaborators
and
Jim
and
I,
even
though
we
have
no
relations
between
our
last
names,
our
our
good
friends
and
the
professional
collaborators
on
the
fair
housing
events
that
you'll
see
happening
in
in
April,
but
I
want
to
be
here
tonight.
J
I
have
two
two
overall
topics:
I
want
to
share
with
you
all
for
for
your
thought
and
consideration
is
one
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
know:
we've
had
a
bit
of
sort
of
whiplash
if
you
will,
with
where
things
have
stood
with
the
federal
government
regarding
the
lgbtqia
protections
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
here
is
aware
is
that
we
certainly
have
gender
identity
and
sexual
orientation
as
protected
classes
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
I.
J
Have
a
tremendous
amount
of
respect
for
Bruce
cross's
leadership,
where,
if
you
recall
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
had
those
protections
within
the
definition
of
sex
for
for
a
couple
decades,
or
at
least
a
decade
long
before
the
protected
classes
proliferated
through
much
of
America
and
then
under
cross.
J
And
what
this
means
to
this
body
and
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
that
any
housing
discrimination
complaint
investigated
by
Jam
or
filed
by
FHP
at
HUD
and
that
is
investigated
by
pchr,
has
dual
filing
capacity,
which
means
that
there
is
not
only
the
hammer
of
city
code.
But
there
is
the
Hammer
of
the
federal,
fair
housing
act
in
the
enforcement
power
behind
that
instance
of
discrimination,
and
so
that
had
previously
been
in
place
and
then
rescinded.
And
now
it
is
enacted
under
the
current
federal
Administration.
J
And
so,
while
we
have
it,
and
hopefully
it
moves
forward
in
a
more
robust
manner,
it
would
take
an
active
Congress
to
add
specific
protected
classes
or
to
formally
adopt
the
definition
of
sex.
At
this
moment,
I
want
everyone
to
be
aware.
So
I've
tried
to
do
back.
In
my
younger
years,
when
I
was
I
had
a
bit
more
energy
I
tried
to
do
their
housing
boost
at
pride,
and
it
turns
out
at
pride.
No
one
really
wants
to
talk
about
housing
discrimination.
J
It's
not
really
the
topic
that
everyone
wants
to
engage
in,
and
so
it's
the
information
that
we
want
to
have
out
there,
so
that
if
housing
discrimination
does
come
up,
that
our
community
is
aware
of
where
and
how
to
file
a
complaint
and
and
to
move
that
forward.
So
just
so,
you
all
know
for
your
own
networks
that
we
do
have
Federal
protections
through
executive
action
currently
in
the
federal
government.
J
So
too,
one
of
the
other
things
I
want
to
raise
here
with
this
group
is
that,
as
you
know,
we
have
the
development
moving
forward
in
Oakland
known
as
Oakland
Pride,
as
an
lgbtqia,
plus
affirming
low-income
housing
for
individuals
who
are
55
and
older
and
from
the
fair
housing
perspective.
I
am
interested
in
collaborating
with
this
commission,
such
as
with
the
relevant
working
group
on
how
Oakland
Pride
can
be
intersectional,
and
what
I
mean
by
this
is
that
nationally
and
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
J
The
fair
housing
act
you
know,
is
something
we
continue
to
address
through
affirmatively,
further
into
their
housing,
where
we're
looking
for
Pittsburgh's
overall,
low-income
housing
market
to
be
intersectional
and
to
ensure
that
there's
family
size
unit,
as
well
as
units
for
seniors.
But
in
this
form,
what
I'm
looking
to
do
is
I
have
been
impressed
and
excited
about
the
leadership
we've
seen
from
presbyterian
senior
care
and
from
sage
and
their
involvement,
and
knowing
that,
all
too
often,
through
no
fault
of
our
own,
that
senior
low-income
housing
is
disproportionately
housing.
J
So
to
be
abundantly
and
completely
clear,
there's
no
consideration
of
of
a
quota,
no
application.
It
denies,
but
it
is
a
targeted
effort
by
the
Outreach
effort
to
ensure
that
the
application
for
the
waitlist
process
is
provided
to
a
diverse
and
cross
intersectional
population
as
humanly
possible,
and
so
what
we're
looking
at
is
both
to
make
sure
that
Within,
our
community
of
lgbtqia,
plus
that
not
only
are
all
the
identities
represented
as
robustly
as
possible,
but
that
we're
also
identifying
seniors
of
color,
lgbtqia
plus
seniors
of
color.
J
In
order
to
have
a
diverse
tenant
population
once
the
building
is
developed
and
then
the
tenants
move
in,
and
so
in
order
to
do
that,
given
that
we
know
who
is
likely
to
apply
and
how
the
building
tends
to
be
inhabited
once
the
wait
list
is
addressed
and
the
initial
stages,
it
requires
intentional
actions
in
how
the
marketing
plan
is
created,
as
well
as
at
this
point
in
society
and
modernizing
the
marketing
plan.
J
You
know
it's
a
marketing
plan
on
Facebook
and
Instagram,
as
opposed
to
Simply
paper
applications,
and
so
the
second
half
of
this
conversation
that
I've
been
having
has
been
that
once
we
create
a
tenant
population
that
is
diverse,
is
we
all
know
the
reality
that
you
put
a
diverse
group
of
people
together
and
the
result,
the
long-term
interactions
are,
are
not
devoid
of
conflict.
Human
nature
is
to
have
conflict
will
have
conflict
and
HUD
fheo
has
issued
guidance
that
no
tenant
on
tenant.
J
And
so
what
I
hope
to
see
is
that
we
can
help
Presbyterian,
Senior
Care,
establish
a
diverse
tenant
population
within
the
property
and
then
have
a
robust
tenant
on
tenant
harassment
policy
that
provides
top-down
inclusivity
for
management,
where
it's
clear
amongst
the
tenants
that
any
dispute
between
tenants,
if,
if
I
loan,
someone
some
money
for
groceries
or
I,
gave
someone
a
ride
that
any
of
those
disputes
that
happen
amongst
human
beings
is
wholly
and
entirely
about
the
issue
and
does
not
become
about
identity
amongst
those
tenants
and
so
those
these
policies.
J
A
current
and
modernized
affirmative
marketing
plan
tenant
on
tenant
harassment
policies
are
still
somewhat
new
and
so
I'm
interested.
J
If
anyone
on
that
there's
a
working
group
or
members
of
this
commission
who
are
interested
and
it's
appropriate
for
working
together
to
create
these
robust
and
potentially
model
policies
for
our
city
and
region
for
promoting
Oakland
Pride,
as
not
simply
lgbtqia,
plus
affirming
but
being
a
driver
behind
intentional
intersectionality
in
the
tenant
population,
as
well
as
addressing
what
an
inclusive
tenant
community
means
through
the
policies
in
which
the
management
is
ensuring
that
the
the
tenant
engagement
doesn't
allow
for
discrimination
amongst
the
individuals
as
well.
J
So
I
appreciate
your
time
and
if
you
have
any
thoughts
or
questions,
I'm
free
for
it
and
glad
to
meet
and
talk
and
I
can
talk
about
fair
housing
for
hours.
So,
if
you're
interested,
my
family
and
friends
are
no
longer
interested
in
hearing
me,
talk
about
it
and
I
am
glad
to
go
down
the
rabbit
hole
discussing
where
we're
at
and
where
we
hope
to
go
in
Pittsburgh.
E
Megan
hi
I'm
Kathy
Boyle
I'm
on
the
advisory
committee
for
the
Oakland
Pride
project
and
I'd
be
very
interested
in
working
with
you
around
this.
If
there's
any
way,
I
can
be
helpful.
J
That
sounds
wonderful,
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
I
do
my
best
to
create
policies
and
documents,
and
sometimes
sitting
in
your
own
Echo
chamber.
Whatever
you
write
sounds
reasonable
and
so
I
need
some
outside
voices
and
fact
Checkers
and
feedback
on
you
know
creating
the
kind
of
marketing
plan
and
harassment
policies
that
we
feel
will
be
meaningful
as
a
means
of
moving
the
needle
for
what
diversity
and
inclusion
means
for
people
to
live
together.
A
Thanks
for
sharing
that
guy
I'd
definitely
be
happy
as
well
to
talk
more
about
it,
I
work
at
the
Ura
and
focus
on
a
lot
of
the
affordable
housing
compliance
after
project
completion.
So
you
know
looking
at
the
demographic
information
and
the
marketing
plans
and
all
of
that
so
for
a
selfish
reason,
as
well,
just
to
make
sure
ways
that
I
can
help
property
managers
and
tenants
be
more
inclusive
as
well,
but
also
you
know,
offer
help
with
policy
development
and
that
so,
but
it's
very
exciting,
I
think
that's
really
great.
A
Just
thinking
about
that
goal
of
that
intentionality
around
it.
That's
great
I.
J
Appreciate
that
Marcus
and
I'll
definitely
follow
up
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
affirmative,
fair
housing
marketing
plan
is
it's
a
federal
requirement,
and
so
everyone
does
it,
but
we
can
use
our
roles
in
the
city
to
make
it
meaningful
at
the
local
level
and
to
ensure
that
what
it's
doing
locally
is
something
that
reflects
our
values
and
where
we
want
to
see
our
city.
J
Look
what
we
want
to
see
our
city
put
calm,
and
so
it's
it's
on
the
ground
impact
requires
us
locally
to
look
at
them
and
and
to
move
them
forward
in
terms
of
what
they
can
do.
So
I'll
certainly
follow
up
with
you
as
well.
I
appreciate
that.
F
Megan
this
is
the
year
commissioner,
Guillermo
Velazquez
and
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
Pittsburgh
Hispanic
Development
Corporation.
We
do
have
a
Housing
Initiative,
so
we
work
with
the
Latino
Community.
We
do
have
some
LGBT
clients
from
the
community
that
we
have
served
in
in
the
in
housing.
So
you
know
we
see
a
lot
of
things
that
go
on
in
our
community
in
terms
of
discrimination
and
I
have
been
in
contact
previously
with
some
Fox
from
the
city
about
some
complaints
that
we
have
tried
to
initiate.
F
So
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
work
with
you
and
actually
get
another
member
on
my
team
to
be
part
of
your
efforts
so
that
we
can
contribute
to
the
cause.
J
I
appreciate
that
and
to
let
you
know,
is
that
we're
we're
busy
at
work
with
with
different
policy
changes
to
make
particularly
our
low-income
housing.
More
robust
with
how
we're
serving
diverse
populations
and
I'll
also
follow
up
with
what
we're
starting
to
to
move
is
a
language
access
plan
that
ensures
that
there's
a
baseline
of
language
access
amongst
our
federally
funded
housing
providers
as
well,
because
our
population
specifically
has
limited
individuals
who
are
limited,
who
had
limited
English
proficiency,
but
in
order
to
grow
our
population.
J
Diversity
and
inclusion
is
not
an
ideology
of
economics
in
order
to
grow
our
population
where
we're
hemorrhaging
the
loss
of
people
as
we
must
attract
and
then
retain
diverse
populations,
and
so
we're
also
working
on
the
language.
Access
plans
to
disseminate
amongst
our
federal
funded
housing
providers.
F
Yeah,
it's
also
to
add
quickly
to
that.
You
know
we're
very
aware
of
that.
That's
a
big
problem
that
we
have
in
our
community,
so
we're
actually
actually
trying
to
address
it.
But
we
see
a
lot
of
this
deficiencies.
F
We
do
access
to
rentals
and
home
ownership,
and
so
you
know
we
have
to
be
accommodating
active
language
for
people,
so
they
can
have
the
same
level
of
advantages
that
most
people
have
and
a
lot
of
the
government
programs
that
it
says
to
know
do
not
provide
some
of
that
and
if
they
do
it's
very
cumbersome
to
actually
be
able
to
go
to
the
entire
process
because
of
the
language
access.
J
Lgbtqia
plus
affirming
property
to
then
become
a
sub
out
of
a
different,
protected
class,
and
so
I
am
very
interested
in
the
work
that
you
are
doing
towards
that
project
in
being
an
example
of
what
it
means
to
be
intersectional,
where
we're
not
addressing
one
group
of
people
at
any
given
time,
but
everybody
to
make
sure
that
the
property
is
open
to
individuals
with
difficulty
with
English,
with
of
different
races
and
National
Origins,
as
well
as
lgbtq
plus
identities.
J
So
I
appreciate
all
of
you
all
support
and
it's
nice
to
be
in
a
group
where
it's
not
contentious
for
a
minute
and
then
to
know
that
we'll
we'll
move
it
forward
together
and
get
some
work
done.
B
Well,
I
want
to
thank
Megan
for
attending
and
sharing
all
that
really
important
and
just
very
important
information
and
to
allow
my
brain
to
to
absorb
some
of
it.
B
It
certainly
is
I
think
this
commission
is
founded
on
principles
of
intersectionality
and
in
order
for
that
to
be
meaningful
when
things
are
happening
in
the
real
world,
you
know
that
we
should
be
present
for
it
and
supportive
of
it
and
help
to
guide
it
and
I
think
all
the
issues
you
brought
up
regarding
housing
and
how
things
unfold,
unless
there's
proactive
efforts
to
support
diversity
so
that
everyone
has
an
opportunity
for
access
to
low-income
housing
when
they're
older,
the
in
an
environment
that
is
welcoming
that
that
that's
tough
work
and
without
energy,
putting
it
into
it,
it
will
default
to
the
way
that
you
described
so
I'm
glad.
A
Yeah
I
can
I
can
act
as
that
point
of
contact,
and
you
know,
connect
you
with
any
of
the
Commissioners
that
you
need
or
if
any
questions
as
you
come
up
that
you
would
like
us
to
think
about
and
that
we
could
bring
up
and
you
know
I
think
we
could
definitely
consider
forming
a
working
group
and
such
to
help
out
you
know
or
explore
any
other
policy
recommendations.
A
Okay
and
if
Commissioners,
if
any
questions
come
up
as
well,
it's
a
two-way
street
software
that,
along
as
well
yeah,
excited
to
work
together,
I
think
it's
really
exciting
initiative,
and
you
know
it
could
be
a
great
model
for
future
developments
as
well
to
use
some
of
these
policies,
especially
around
language
access
and
just
tenor,
recruitment
of
things.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
Megan.
We
appreciate
it.
B
B
B
A
The
next
one
is
reports
of
special
committees,
so
the
working
group
on
the
city,
council
relationship
so
I
know
we
have
that
meeting
with
the
post
agenda
meeting
with
the
city
council
on
February,
22nd
I
was
not
able
to
attend,
but
based
on
the
emails
that
circulated
about
it
sounded
like
it
went
really
well,
it
was
very
productive.
A
I
think
a
couple
of
people
were
there.
They
want
to
share
just
your
reactions
and
experience
on
it.
H
B
Since
this
is
live,
streamed
right
and
recorded,
I
don't
want
the
the
entire
universe
that
has
potentially
could
be
watching
right
now.
To
think
that
the
meeting
wasn't
positive,
I
would
assess
it
at
positive
I'm,
just
reluctant
to
to
speak
on
everything,
and
so
I
was
trying
to
do
wait
time
to
give
other
people
space,
but
I
will
but
I
don't
want
to
leave
it
with
nothing.
I
think
it
was
a
good
meeting,
I'm
glad
that
we
went
forward
with
it.
I
think
that
a
lot
of
there
was
a
lot
of
interaction
between.
B
There
was
a
good
number
of
council
members
that
were
present.
It
was
a
small
number
that
didn't
show
and
that's
unusual
for
the
agenda
review.
So
there
there
was
interest
in
it
and
there
was
a
good
amount
of
interaction
between
the
the
Commissioners
who
were
present
and
the
council
members
and,
as
Bruce
Krause
had
said,
it's
it's
the
be
it's
the
beginning
of
a
regular
relationship,
rather
than
just
a
one
and
done
type
thing,
but
I
thought
it
was
it
was.
It
was
very
positive
and
we
were
able
to
get
into
the
record.
B
F
Of
you,
yeah
and
if
I
may
add
to
that
you
know
I
think
it
was
important
for
council
members
to
understand
the
words
that
have
been
done
so
far
by
the
commission
and
in
the
areas
that
we
have
developed
for
importance
for
the
region
at
different
levels.
I
think
you
know
some
of
them.
They
they
know
about
it,
but
I
think
realizing
that
they
could
be
directly
involved.
H
I'll
agree:
I
thought
it
was
a
really
good
productive
meeting,
lots
of
good
conversation
and
some
good
ideas,
Spawn
from
that,
including
Billy,
possibly
shooting
a
lifeguard
recruitment.
Video
for
our
new
upcoming
summer
season
at
the
polls
is
finding
ways
for
a
community
to
get
involved
in
making
our
our
pools
safe.
For
for
all
the
members
of
our
community.
A
We
are
no
that's.
That
sounds
like
it's
really
good,
that's
good!
To
hear
that
you
know
there
was
some
positive
energy
and
I
think
the
start
of
building
a
good,
a
great
relationship,
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
collaboration.
H
I
fully
expect
in
the
transcript
for
the
next
meeting
minutes
to
read
awkward
long
pause
of
Silence
here.
K
K
I
thought
I
was
very
impressed
with
the
interaction
between
city
council
and
the
Commissioners,
and
the
Commissioners
that
did
ask
questions
were
very
pointed
and
very
precise
and
I
I
was
very
thrilled
that
there
was
a
really
good
communication
between
city
council
and
the
commissioner,
so
I
I
think
we're
on
at
a
good
start
for
moving
forward
with
the
commission,
and
if
this
happens,
will
this
happen
monthly?
How
often
will
this
happen.
A
I
think
that's
a
good
point.
Richard
we
could,
you
know
I,
think
we
can
keep
that
in
mind
to
you
know
we
don't
want
to
lose
momentum,
so
just
keeping
in
mind
having
some
kind
of
semi-regular
connections
with
them
just
to
touch
base
and
discuss
any
initiatives
they're
pursuing
or
ways
that
we
could
collaborate.
A
F
I
think
it
will
allow
us
to
condemn
with
those
Commissioners
that
were
might
not
knowing
present
I
think
there
are
items
that
were
identified
as
follow-up
I
think
we
should
make
sure
that
we
work
on
them
so
that
next
time
we
meet,
we
can
continue
the
progress
of
where
you
know
more
than
anything
within
the
mission
and
the
goal
for
the
commission,
because
to
make
sure
that
we
are
achieving
them
in
followers
with
them.
F
B
Questions
I'm
not
sure
who
may
have
agreed
to
be
part
of
a
working
group
on
city
council
relationship.
I
know:
Sue
was
you
know,
trying
to
get
some
energy
into
that,
but
I
don't
want
to
speak
from
her
I
kind
of
remember
her
not
saying
she
wasn't
the
lead
on
it,
but
was
trying
to
encourage
people
to
be
part
of
that.
B
But
anyway,
that's
the
place
that
that
I
think
that
should
happen,
and
maybe
who
might
be
interested
in
this
quarterly
meetings
and
how
to
make
them
productive
so
that
we
and
build
a
relationship
with
city
council
members
that
that
we
could
do
that
in
a
working
group.
A
Sue
just
to
just
while
we're
on
topic
of
working
groups
just
trying
to
think
through
also
how
many
working
groups
we
have
currently
because
it
might
make
sense
just
to
maybe
also
kind
of
strategize,
that
it
could
be
a
larger
part
of
a
mission
for
a
working
group,
intergovernmental
relations,
or
something
like
that.
Just
so
just
trying
to
think
through
all
the
working
groups
and
balancing
everyone's
time
commitments
and
things.
B
Yeah
I
think
yes,
there.
Yes,
there's
a
Outreach
working
group
that
is,
you
know,
associated
with
the
Outreach
coordinator.
That
is
one
that
we
identified.
I,
don't
know
that
it's
just
limited
to
social
media,
but
maybe
maybe
it
is
defined
that
way.
A
Yeah
I
think
it
had
originally
been
intended
to
be
broader,
and
then
we
have
the
treasure
treasury
working.
D
A
A
Yeah,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
that
would
be
helpful
just
so,
we
can
I
think
just
kind
of
making
sure
we
make
sure
we're
catching
all
the
groups
that
align
with
our
strategic
plan
and
everything.
In
that
way,
we
can
make
sure
where
people
have
the
opportunity
to
join
the
ones
they
won
or
expand
groups
purposes
of
that,
if
that
makes
sense.
B
D
F
If
I
may
I'd
like
to
make
a
suggestion,
perhaps
to
the
executive
team
to
this
cause
a
possible
plan
to
to
establish
this
collaboration
with
the
city
council
I'm,
just
so
that
we
just
don't
forget
about
it,
and
we
find
ourselves
a
quarter
after
and
trying
to
figure
it
out,
and
we
don't.
We
lose
momentum
of
that
meeting
to
happen.
I'm,
not
sure.
F
If
you
know
what
will
be
the
best
approach
where
whether
it's
one
person
is
identified
to
be
a
liaison
or
something
like
that,
but
I
think
it
needs
to
be
in
a
separate
meeting
where
perhaps
can
be
discussed
and
see
what
will
make
more
sense
so
that
we
don't
lose
that
momentum
that
we
already
created.
A
I
think
that's
a
great
point.
I
think
you
know
I
think
that's
where
it
would
be
helpful
having
these
working
groups
where
we
could
have
that
kind
of
responsibility
focused
on
and
entirely
designate
that
liaison,
because
just
thinking
through
we
have
the
meeting
with
the
director
Smith
of
Public
Safety,
and
at
that
meeting
he
had
identified
a
couple
different
Liaisons
for
other
purposes
as
well.
A
So
just
given
you
know
as
we're
starting
to
scale
up
and
do
more
that
we're
spreading
the
workload
as
much
as
we
can
so
having
these
working
groups
could
be
a
good
way
to
help
with
that
and
internally
designating
how
they,
who
has
the
capacity
to
be
Liaisons
for
different
things.
It
must
have
that
responsibility.
A
So
what
we
can
do
once
Billy
looks
through
the
minutes
and
can
share
that
list.
I
can
send
it
out
to
the
group
and
make
some
recommendations
in
terms
of
either
consolidating
or
what
could
be
good
scopes
of
works
for
the
different
working
groups
and
see
who's
interested,
and
then
that
way
we
can
start
to
designate
that
responsibility
for
working
with
being
Liaisons
for
different
city
officials
or
Council,
and
things
like
that.
If
that
sounds
like
a
good
plan.
B
Yes
and
I
I
agree
with
Guillermo
regarding
the
the
executive
committee
taking
up
the
specific
issue
of
the
relationship
with
City
Council,
and
it's
also
the
case
that
the
if
any
commissioner
wants
to
attend
the
executive
committee
meetings,
the
first
Thursday
of
the
month
at
six
o'clock
in
the
year,
you're
invited
it's
not
a
closed
meeting.
A
So
then
I
would
just
recommend.
Maybe
we
table
B
under
this
reports
until
we
get
that
working
groups
and
then
review
those
Scopes
and
then
make
some
proposals.
So
then
that
way
makes
sense
to
start
set
up
a
meeting
date
and
time.
A
All
right,
if
no
questions
or
comments
there
moving
on
to
unfinished
business,
so
the
first
one
in
person,
meetings
so
I
reached
out
to
inp
and
they
are
able
to
hold
record
our
in-person
meeting
for
the
for
April
20th.
If
I
got
that
date
correct
that
third
Thursday.
So
our
thought
was
that
we
could
hold
that
April
meeting
in
person
at
the
city
county
building
on
the
sixth
floor
conference,
room.
Correct
me
if
I
get
that
Ron
Morgan.
E
A
Perfect
and
then
we
Guillermo
Dave
is
getting
back
to
me.
Some
dates
for
the
doing
a
site
visit,
so
our
kind
of
rescheduling
that
maybe
would
make
sense
to
do
phdc
sometime
in
September
or
October
for
an
in-person
meeting.
A
And
as
far
ahead,
but
sure
no
problem,
okay,
so
once
Dave
gets
back
to
that
on
me,
we
can
confirm
that.
But
you
know
in
terms
of
that
April
20th
meeting
at
5
30
at
the
city
county
building,
do
people
have
any
thoughts
or
objections
to
having
that
in
person.
There.
A
And
it'll
be
hybrid
as
well
for
those
who
are
unable
to
attend,
but
with
the
option
at
the
sixth
floor
conference,
room.
B
Yeah
I
agree
with
that.
We
in
February
we
made
a
motion
and
voted
to
have
in-person
meetings
starting
in
March,
so
we're
so
yeah.
We
already.
B
So
if,
if
somehow
the
sixth
floor
of
the
city,
county
building
seems
to
be
not
accessible
to
for
us
or
the
community
in
in
ways
that
other
sites
might
be
that
it's
it's
our
task,
then
to
identify
websites.
B
I
think
you
said
Marcus
regarding
Guillermo's
organizations
facility,
the
I
think
you
said
later
in
the
summer,
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
what
what
you
said
but
but
does
leave.
You
know
like
May,
June,
July,
I,
guess
we're
at
the
city
county
building.
That
would
be
my
assumption.
A
Yeah,
if
you
know
Morgan,
we
can,
if
you
wouldn't
mind,
looking
to
see
six
four
conference
rooms
that
will
be
available
for
those
leading
up.
Let's
say
we'll
do
phdc
on
in
August
or
September,
seeing
if
this
or
let's
say
September,
seeing
if
the
conference
room
would
be
available
in
between.
A
No
worries
mine's
sleeping
next
to
me
so
different
energies,
so
that
sounds
good.
So
then
we'll
plan
on
the
six
four
conference
room
for
our
meetings
and
if
people
you
know
have
I
know
we
start
at
5
30,
so
I
think
just
if
that
proves
difficult
or
anything
comes
up.
Just
let
us
know
and
we
can
adjust
our
schedule
and
how
that
discussion
is
needed.
K
Maria
can
I
ask
what's
happening
to
the
renovation
of
the
facility
on
the
boulevard
of
the
allies.
H
So
412
Boulevard
of
the
Allies
that
that
is
a
project
that
is
ongoing
and
under
construction.
Our
hope
is
to
have
that
build
out
completed
by
some
point
this
summer
at
the
earliest,
but
that's
all
dependent
on
Supply
chains
and
everything
related
to
construction
related
stuff.
H
Possibly
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
going
to
be
a
large
public
meeting
space
there
for
that,
but
let
me
see
what
the
possibilities
are
for
that.
Okay,
thank
you.
F
And
start
one
thing:
I
wanted
to
say:
you
know
the
where
we're
located
where
the
Hispanic
corporation
is
located,
it's
a
city
building,
so
that
that
location
will
always
be
available
as
a
backup
whenever
you
need
it
and
and
subject
to
coordinate
a
date
and
a
time
no
problem.
Just
let
me
know.
H
Other
options
we
could
look
at
if
we
wanted,
if,
if
we
really
wanted
to
try
to
get
a
bunch
of
community
members
out
to
some
of
our
meetings,
could
be
something
like
the
the
big
room
at
the
Schenley
Park
ice
rink.
There's
a
big
community
room
there
that
we
posted
Community
meetings
from
as
well.
So
there's
some
some
opportunities
there
in
terms
of
if
we
wanted
to
try
to
do
some
aggressive
Outreach
to
bring
community
members
to
a
meeting
sometime.
F
Actually,
that's
a
very
good
idea,
because
that
was
something
that
I
mentioned
before,
where
I
think
it's
important
that
you
know
the
commission
starts
interacting
with
community
and
Community
meetings
that
maybe
are
happening
already.
That
would
be
a
good
way
to
start.
You
know
letting
people
know
what
we're
working
on.
A
And
I
can
look
into
we're
on
the
ninth
floor
of
the
412
Boulevard
building
and
we
have
a
conference
room
that
might
be
able
to
hold
everyone.
So
I
can
ask
for
the
Ura
as
well.
H
I
believe
commissions
like
this.
Most
of
them
are
completely
virtual,
not
in
person.
A
Okay,
moving
to
the
next
one
Pennsylvania,
our
local
legislative
or
policy,
update
one
anti-lgbtqi,
plus
actions.
I
believe
this
was
Sue's
item
so
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
activity
on
this
front
and
Richard.
You
had
shared
a
topic
I
believe
recently
or
an
article.
A
Find
this
the
article
that
Richard
had
shared
any
kind
of
articles
or
topics
that
people
wanted
to
discuss
that?
Maybe
we
as
commissioned
could
respond
to.
B
Well,
I
think
what
what
we
should
do
is
I
mean
we
have
that
it's
important
this
unfinished
business,
Item
B
the
legislative
policy
update,
really
is
to
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
be
looking
for
the
things
that
pop
up,
not
just
in
Harrisburg
but
in
in
school
boards
and
and
other
things
Sue
Has
reported
on
several
of
them.
B
Lenny
has
been
a
watchdog
on
this
also
and
I
think
that
it
really
is
it's
it's
staying
on
on
it's
going
to
be
unfinished
business
for
the
foreseeable
future
and
I
think
there
are
some
things
brewing
in
Harrisburg
that
are
going
to
be
very
problematic
and-
and
we
need
to
be
aware
of
that,
we've
responded
to
them
before
and
I
think
we
should
continue
to.
B
So,
even
if
we
don't,
if
we're
not
on
top
of
it
right
now
for
this
meeting
that
we
just
need
to
do
that
and
be
prepared
to
report
out
in
in
in
each
meeting,
but
to
keep
your
eyes
and
ears
open
about
it
and
we'll
inform
each
other
and
take
action
when
we
need
to.
A
And
I
know
one
one
thing:
I
noticed
that
did
have
come
that
have
come
up
was
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
hosting
three
events
regarding
the
with
very
notably
transphobic
speakers,
and
discussions
coming
up
in
I.
Think
Sue
would
at
some
point
circulated
something
asking
whether
we
wanted
to
adopt
a
public
stance
for
that
to
respond
to
the
to
the
news.
K
And
I
I
remember
there's
a
lot
of
like
for
some
crazy
reason.
A
lot
of
anti-drag
legislation
happening
all
over
the
country
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
somebody
in
Harrisburg
is
trying
to
do
that.
Also
to
ban
public
interaction
between
you
know,
story
time
at
drag
queen
story
time
at
a
lot
of
the
libraries
have
been
getting
a
lot
of
pushback
and
a
lot
of
death
threats.
K
Also
I've
had
friends
involved
in
some
happenings
in
Pittsburgh
a
few
years
ago,
and
we
have
to
be
vigilant
of
a
lot
of
these
hate
groups
that
are
trying
to
stop
interaction
between
our
community
and
children
when
it's
not
necessary.
Obviously
so.
H
Yesterday,
the
the
visit
Pittsburgh
started
unveiling
elements
of
their
10-year
Master
plan
for
tourism
in
the
region,
and
they
are
moving
forward
with
marketing
Pittsburgh,
specifically
as
an
lgbtqia
plus
destination
city
as
part
of
their
strategic
marketing
plan.
So
I
was
really
excited.
The
administration
really
pushed
for
for
that
inclusion,
as
well
as
the
inclusion
of
an
African-American
Board
of
Tourism
as
part
of
a
broader
idea
around
celebrating
the
diversity
of
this
of
the
city
in
their
in
their
marketing
strategy
for
tourism.
H
So
just
wanted
to
to
say
that,
while
we're
Limited
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do
legislatively
wise
that
the
city
across
multiple
sectors
is
committed
to
celebrating
our
experiences
and
our
lives
and
the
work
that
we
do
to
to
fight
for
our
rights
here,.
K
And
and
I
think
a
part
of
that
what
visit
Pittsburgh
is
looking
at
the
Arts
Community
across
the
board,
celebrate
and
Elevate
lgbtq
artists
and
visiting
artists
from
all
over
the
world
and
all
over
the
country
and
I
think
that
is
something
that
we
need
to
laud,
that
this
is
helps
when
people
look
at
our
city.
How
is
it
lgbtq
friendly?
That
is
a
big
part
of
it
in
the
Arts
Community
I.
H
I
wish
there
was
a
chat
box
here,
but
if
you
look
at
visit
pittsburgh.com
diverse
Dash
Pittsburgh,
you
can
see
all
about
their
plans
in
terms
of
lgbtqa
plus
travel
in
Pittsburgh,
as
well
as
their
work
to
do
some
more
work
around
Pride
festivities
and
whatnot.
So
it's
a
it's
a
pretty
exciting
thing
for
the
city
to
be
doing
this
and
for
our
our
tourism
Partners,
specifically
to
be
marketing
Us
in
that
fashion,.
A
All
right,
the
next
one,
Billy
I,
can't
remember
what
this
one.
This
information
requested
America
for
lgbtqi
plus
representation
on
City
bac's.
What
the
unfinished
part
of
it
was.
B
Well,
it's
only
because
it
it
I
mean
it's:
it's
not
on
the
agenda
necessarily
to
discuss,
but
rather
get
an
update
from
the
the
persons
who
were
going
to
look
into
it.
I
know
that
last
time
Morgan
had
made
comments
about
it.
She
did
say
that
there
there
might
not
be
disaggregated
data
on
this,
but
but
go
ahead.
Morgan
I
won't
speak
for.
C
You
no
you're
you're,
absolutely
right
Billy.
Unfortunately,
we
still
have
a
lot
of
more
Equity
to
push
when
it
comes
to
collecting
data
so
that
that
information
is
not
available
now,
but
that's
not
to
say
that
we
can't
start
doing
that.
So
that's
the
update
right
there.
A
C
So
typically-
and
this
is
an
announcement
for
anybody
who's
watching-
we
are
really
eager
for
pittsburghers
of
all
intersectional
identities
to
apply
to
serve
on
all
of
our
Birds
authorities
and
commissions,
and
it
is
called,
engage
PGH
and
the
specific
Pages
called
interest
in
volunteering
with
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
through
that
form,
people
can
identify
themselves
with
their
intersectional
identities
and
that's
just
our
way
to
make
sure
we're
capturing
all
experiences
across
Pittsburgh.
So
that's
our
way
to
try
to
remedy
data
collection,
but
you
know
as
as
I
mentioned.
A
Thank
you
so,
moving
on
to
new
business,
2023,
lgbtqia
plus
Pride
events,
I
know
that
it's
quickly
approaching
upon
us
and
lots
of
different
events.
I
know.
One
thing
we
had
talked
about
was
our
level
of
participation
potentially
at
these
different
events.
What
we
might
Envision
not
looking
like
and
how
but
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there.
B
Yeah,
what
I
would
like
to
recommend
on
on
these
last
two
items
and
I
know
that
there's
another
one
that
Maria
wants
to
maybe
at
least
talk
about
for
a
moment
regarding
the
video,
a
video
project.
But
for
these
two
items
before
we
do
that
the
pride
events
and
the
public
comment.
B
What
what
I
suggest
we
do
is
put
them
on
the
agenda
for
the
executive
committee
on
the
for
the
first
Thursday
in
April
and
the
executive
committee
can
make
a
list
of
the
pride
events
that
we
know
about
and
and
any
information
that
we
know
about
each
of
the
pride
events
and
have
that
ready
for
the
April
meeting
on
the
20th
of
April,
so
that
we
can
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
talking
about
how
Commissioners
might
attend
those.
Whether
we
do
tabling
what
we
would
need
to
get
prepared
to
do.
B
Any
of
that.
Rather
than
trying
to
figure
that
out
in
the
last
few
minutes
of
this
meeting.
I
think
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
of
prep
work
to
have
a
more
productive
discussion
on
our
participation
or
attendance
at
Pride
events.
But
I
think
we've
talked
about
it
a
couple
times
that
we
really
want
to
do
it
and
we
want
to
have
the
interaction
with
the
community
and
be
visible
and
invite
you
know
interactions
so
that
we're
learning
from
the
community
and
they're
learning
that
that
we
exist
too.
B
But
we
need
to
do
some
prep
work
to
do
that
so
I'm
going
to
bring
that
up
at
our
executive
committee
meeting
and
we'll
do
some
of
the
preparation
work
and
then
present
at
the
April
meeting
Billy
and
send
us
stuff.
You
want
us
to
do
regarding
that
too.
Don't
just
be
passive
and
say:
they're
they're,
gonna
I
mean.
If
you
know
about
events,
then
let
us
know,
and
then
so
we
can
do
better
work
on
the
on
the
first
Thursday
go
ahead.
Richard.
Thank
you.
K
I
I
believe
I
sent
you
I
forwarded
information
about
writing
an
article
for
the
pride
guide
in
Cuba
they're,
doing
a
physical
paper
copy
of
this
Lisa
Cunningham
reached
out
to
me
for
an
article,
but
I
wanted
it
to
represent
the
commission.
Just
not
one
person.
Do
you
remember
getting
that
information
I
sent
it
about
a
month
or
so
ago?
No,
okay,
I
sent
it
to
everybody.
K
I'll
try
to
find
dig
it
up
and
send
it
again.
I
know
there
was
a
a
time
table
of
when
these
articles
were
needed,
but
she
asked
me
very
specific
questions,
but
I
felt
uncomfortable
just
saying
answering
them
myself,
I
felt
it
would
be
more
powerful
to
have
the
commission
represented
in
the
Pride
guide.
K
And
I'm
sure
Maria
would
be
the
the
kind
of
thing
that
they
would
ask
the
mayor
for
a
letter.
This
is
normally
what
Publications
do
to
support.
You
know:
Pittsburgh
Pride,.
H
K
So
maybe
we
have
still
enough
time
for
I'll
forward
that
Billy
should
I
just
send
it
to.
You
would
be
easier
that
way
or
how
do
you
want
to
do
it.
K
B
B
Know
try
try
again
the
let's
yeah,
maybe
we'll
we'll
get
some
traction
on
I
I.
Think
if
you
send
it
just
to
me,
yeah
definitely
won't
get
a
response
from
everybody
else.
Okay,.
H
I
would
just
like
to
continue
my
call
for
reminding
folks
that
sometimes
email
isn't
the
best
way
to
remind
folks,
because
we
had
a
lot
of
email.
We
all
do
in
in
our
lives,
so
sometimes
to
get
folks
attention,
A
little
nudge
over
a
social
media
message
or
a
phone
number
directly
and
I'll
again
read
my
phone
number
under
the
record,
it's
412-500-669!
So
if
you
ever
need
to
get
a
hold
of
me
or
have
a
question,
that
is
the
best
way
to
do
it
again.
It's
412-500-669.
C
Thanks
Maria,
so
y'all
may
remember
when
we
held
our
round
table
with
the
mayor
to
talk
through
your
goals
as
a
commission,
the
idea
merged
to
have
like
a
social
media
campaign
for
for
each
of
you
to
film
about
a
two
minute,
video
just
conveying
your
story.
Why?
You
believe
this
commission
is
so
important
and
you
know
overarchingly.
We
want
people
who
see
that
to
a
know
that
the
commission
exists.
C
But
secondly,
you
know
see
that
there's
people
out
here
who
are
Paving
ways
for
folks
in
the
community
to
be
seen
so
we'd
like
to
kick
that
off
as
soon
as
possible.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
eager
beavers
in
this
Zoom
room,
who
would
be
willing
to
be
our
first
video
Maria?
Don't
foresee
it
being
anything,
you
know
rocket
science,
they
can
just
submit
their
own
video
right.
They
wouldn't
have
to
come
in
for
like
professional
filming
or
anything.
C
So
we
can
start
that
campaign
with
the
goal
of
you
know
a
video
every
two
weeks
just
to
keep
the
momentum
going
and
you
know
convey
what
you
all
have
going
on
in
your
respective
work
and
communities,
but
otherwise
that's
the
update.
I
wanted
to
share
and
I'm
excited
to
help.
Y'all
kick
this
off.
H
Not
everybody
jump
at
once,
yeah
I
think
it
really
is,
is
sort
of
simple
right.
It's
a
short
story
of
self.
Why
we
do
this
work?
Why
the
commission
matters
and
then
a
call
to
like
you
know
we
want
you
at
our
meetings.
Like
we've
been
talking.
How
do
we
get
people
to
know
about
our
meetings?
How
to
get
people
to
show
up?
H
I
think
this
is
a
good
step
towards
that,
because
you
know
I
think
the
only
people
who
who
watch
us
live
are
us
who
watch
us
live
to
to
not
be
overtly
blunt
about
it,
but
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
to
lift
up
the
diversity
of
our
commission
and
the
great
work
that
we
are
going
to
be
doing
and,
more
importantly
like,
why
do
we
do
this
work
like.
D
H
Are
we
hanging
out
at
seven
o'clock
on
a
Thursday
night
talking
about
this
stuff
for
the
city
right
I?
Think
it's
important
for
us
to
do
that
and
and
Morgan
I'm
more
than
happy
to
do
a
video,
I,
I
I'm,
pretty
sure
the
mayor
would
be
upset
at
me
if
I
did
not
submit
and
be
a
part
of
this
process,
but
I
think
it'd
be
great
if
some
others
were
were
to
to
lead
the
way
but
I'm
happy
to
go
first.
If,
if
folks
would
like
that
as
well.
B
Can
you
give
us
a
little
more
on
on
what
you
envision
the
videos
to
be?
You
said
you
know,
convey
what
you
have
going
on
in
in
your
respective.
You
know:
Realms
I,
don't
think
you
said
Realms,
but
that's
when
I'm
sort
of.
C
I
think
I
think
Maria
captured
it
beautifully.
You
know
we
want
to
uplift
your
stories
and
the
fact
that
this
commission
exists.
You
know
why
are
you
here?
What
is
the
work
that
you're
trying
to
accomplish
in
this
commission
and
that
just
further
validates
the
existence
of
this
commission?
And
then
people
see
you,
you
know
they
feel
seen
they
feel
valued
and
they
see
that
Pittsburgh
is
actually
trying
to
move
forward.
C
So
I
think
what
Maria
just
conveyed
was
was
beautiful
in
the
essence
of
this,
but
I'm
happy
to
just
put
it
in
a
blurb
in
an
email.
If
you
know
y'all
are
hungry
and
ready
to
eat
dinner,
and
you
can,
you
know
email
me
once
you've
meditated
on
it.
A
Do
it
so
you
know
whatever
you
need
so
yeah.
If
you
want
to
send
that,
send
that
out,
that'd
be
great
and
then
we
can,
when
you
need
us
to
prompt,
we
can
recirculate
as
well.
I
Yeah
I'll
do
one
as
well
I
guess:
I
just
need
a
little
more
structure,
I
mean
like
is
it?
Is
it
something
that
that
you
want
to
say
what
we've
experienced
in
the
past
and
what?
What
where
we
are
today
and
why
the
commission
is
important,
or
is
it
more
why.
