From YouTube: LGBTQIA+ Commission Meeting - 10/21/21
Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
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
We're
calling
this
meeting
to
order
it's
the
october
lgbtqia
plus
commission
meeting,
I'm
going
to
be
sharing
it
taking
over
for
sue.
A
So
let
me
share
my
screen
because
I
do
have
an
agenda
that
was
prepared
and
we're
not
necessarily
going
to
be
able
to
do
all
of
the
things
on
the
agenda
because
we're
not
currently
a
quorum.
If
someone
enters
the
room
so
that
we're
at
quorum,
someone
please
let
me
know,
and
then
we
can
actually
get
some
business
done.
B
B
Yes,
yes,
please
say
here
or
present
or
nakia
burton
tucker
didn't
see
her
denise.
Yes,
jam
hammond
did
not
see
billy
heilman
here
sue
kerr.
C
B
It
may
be
something
on
your
end
if
you
log
in
or
log
out
that
sometimes
improves
audio
for
some
people,
but
I'm
having
a
good
opportunity
to
hear
everybody
so
far,
but
thank
you
you're
here
britain
mark
did
not
see
lenny
orbovich
president
richard
parsekian.
B
Guillermo
we're
taking
role
in
your
you're
here.
B
Yeah,
so
we
have
nine
nine
of
18
commissioners
present
great.
B
A
All
right,
so
how
about
we
move
on
to
reading
the
minutes,
and
hopefully
somebody
logs
on
and
then
we
can
approve
them.
That
is
my
idea
here,
at
least
we'll
be
able
to
read
what
happened
last
week.
B
B
If
there's
a
need
to
read
them,
I
can
put
them
on
the
screen.
We
can
go
through
them.
If
there's
any
questions,
if
anybody
wants
to
make
a
correction,
we
can.
We
can
note
the
possible
correction,
but
we
won't
be
able
to
make
corrections
or
approve
officially,
unless
we
have
another
commissioner
present.
A
B
These
these
are
the
minutes.
We
did
a
roll.
Well,
I
took
the
the
attendance
by
the
participant
list
last
time,
but
I
think
we
should
officially
do
a
roll
call
each
time.
That's
why
I
did
it
this
time
the
we
did
reports
from
the
officers,
an
update.
F
Phil
bill,
I
wanted
just
to
mention
to
you
that
maybe
the
reason
why
there's
no
other
people
logged
is
because
the
the
meeting
was
not
in
a
calendar
invite.
So
I
actually
had
to
look
through
emails
to
find
the
detailed
information
of
the
zoom
meeting.
So
I
don't
know
if
I
have
contributed
to
other
people
not
joining
or
not,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
let
you
know
that.
B
Yes,
I
think
that
that's
a
good
point
and
we
should
make
an
effort
to
you
know,
do
a
calendar
invite.
I
think
that
includes
it,
so
that
it's
easier
people
have
mentioned
that
before.
I
believe
the.
If,
if
someone
wants
to
maybe
email
now
to
maybe
there's
somebody
sitting
there
searching
for
it,
if
we
send
an
email
now,
maybe
that'll
catch,
somebody
the
but
that's
a
good
point.
B
Point
of
informations
are
an
interruptable
item
too.
So
that's
good!
Thank
you
for
that.
The
we
had
these
these
reports.
I
think
that
they're
pretty
thorough
in
in
identifying
what
was
discussed
on
related
to
the
agenda.
B
B
Strategies
for
commissioner
engagement,
the
budget
guillermo-
might
have
more
about
that
today.
I
don't
know
the
update
on
the
pirates.
Perhaps
mr
krauss
can
speak
to
that
when
we-
if
we
have
some
time
today,
to
do
that
in
general,
just
reporting
yep
happy
to
do
so.
Billy.
B
It's
very
brief,
so
I
think
you
know
luca
can
find
a
way
to
put
that
in
there.
If
it's
not
already
on
it,
I
think
it
might
be,
but
certainly
in
reports
it
can.
The
it'd
be
good
to
hear
about
that.
B
Social
media
group
we
talked
about
voter
engagement.
We
later
realized
that
we
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
do
an
effort
in
voter
engagement.
The
election
day
is
very
soon
also,
but
everyone-
certainly
hopefully
here-
is
registered
to
vote
and
will
the
we
do
have
a
something
that
is
going
to
come
up
in
unfinished
business
tonight.
Regarding
the
the
see
how
committee
appointments
are
are
made,
and
maybe
also
mr
krauss
could
help
us
there
too.
The
can
I
make.
D
A
point
of
order-
I
don't
know
if
that's
appropriate
or
not
yeah
sure
go
ahead.
This
is,
I
know
that
we're
trying
to
hold
until
we
get
a
a
full
quorum,
but
this
is
like
feels
kind
of
like
a
preview,
the
actual
agenda.
So
maybe
we
could
just
wait
to
vote
on
this
and
then
jump
into
the
agenda
so
that
we're
not
because
it's
kind
of
confusing
me
that
what
whether
we're
going
to
talk
about
these
things
right
now
or
we're
just
simply
approving
what
was
discussed
in
the
past
correct.
B
That's
fine,
I'll
I'll,
suspend
this.
We
can
go
to
that
because
there
is
a
lot
of
it.
That
is
similar.
B
Perhaps
there
aren't
any
and
we're
just
ready
to
approve
them,
but
I
think
that
yeah,
I
think
we
we
can
proceed.
That
was
one
item
on
the
agenda,
so
we
got
a
taste
of
what
we're
our
obligation
is
to
to
take
care
of
that
when,
when
we're
able
to.
A
A
D
I
I
noticed
that
we're
very,
very
close,
especially
with
this
meeting
to
people
missing
three
meetings
which
kicks
in
process
and
the
bylaws
and
before
we
get
too
far
down
the
path
where
people
are
missing,
four
or
five
meetings,
I
asked
billy
to
drop
an
attendance
and
for
us
to
all
talk
about
it.
I
don't
think
we
want
to
discuss
anyone's
attendance
in
particular,
but
the
chair's
responsibility
is
to
address
it
with
the
individual
and
then
move
forward
based
on
whatever
that
conversation
leads
to.
D
A
A
We
have
four
commissioners
who
have
missed
two
meetings.
One
of
those
commissioners
is
stepping
down
from
the
commission
very
soon
anyway.
Basically,
tiffany
was
not
able
to
make
a
couple
of
the
meetings
so
not
to
talk
about
her
in
particular,
but
there's
a
good
reason
in
that
case,
billy's
hand
is
up.
B
Yeah,
I
I
think
that
what
we
we
might
want
to
state
today
is
what
the
expectation
is
and
how
simple
it
is
to
not
get
into
any
discomfort
around
it.
B
The
the
expectation
is
to
be
present,
and
the
other
expectation
is
that
a
commissioner
notifies
one
of
the
co-chairs
that
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
make
I
mean-
or
soon
after
soon
after
the
the
meeting,
if
there
was
some
emergency
and
they
couldn't
notify
that
they
notified
the
co-chair,
so
that
the
co-chairs
know
that
the
that
the
the
commissioner
had
a
a
reason
and
they're
connected
to
the
process
when
there's
the
third
time
that
there
it's
the
third
time
that
someone's
been
absent
without
notifying
notifying,
is
protection
again
against
this,
and
it's
of
course
the
fourth
time
there's
some
action
might
ensue.
B
I
think
that
probably
of
the
18
people
might
not
have
those
ideas
in
their
head
and
that
a
communication
about
that
to
spell
it
out
really
is
what
what
I
kind
of
understood
that
why
this
would
be
on
the
agenda
rather
than
specific
people.
A
A
D
I
agree
that
we
need
to
make
sure
everyone
is
aware
of
the
expectation
both
in
terms
of
attendance
and
how
to
address
when
you
can't
attend.
D
D
So
I
would
just
encourage
everyone
to
think
about
that
personally
about
you
know,
because
if
you
can
fulfill
that
commitment
and
I'm
not
thinking
of
anyone
in
particular,
but
just
that,
we
have
an
individual
obligation
to
make
sure
that
we
can
fulfill
our
commitment
to
the
community
as
well
as
a
collective
obligation,
and
I
don't
really
want
to
have
conversations
with
people
that
where
we
ask
them
to
step
down
or
remove
them,
that's.
H
D
A
I
You
sorry,
I
had
the
costume
designer
from
rustin
was
just
here
and
saved
my
day.
So
that's
a
very
important
film.
If
you
know
what
it's
about
so.
C
A
I
B
Well,
I'll
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
the
the
minutes
as
presented
and
previously
emailed
to
the
commission
seconded.
B
I
my
recommendation
would
be
that
if,
if
anyone
wants
to
offer
a
change
and
essentially
amending
them
that
they
do
it
now
and
then,
if
not,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
do
a
roll
call
vote.
We,
you
can
just
say
if
no
objection,
the
minutes
are
approved
and
if
nobody
objects,
then
we
don't
have
to
do
that.
A
A
All
right
so
now
that
we've
taken
care
of
that
business
are
there
any
other
things
that
need
to
be
said?
Regarding
the
question
of
commissioner
attendance
and
richard
since
you
weren't
there
for
the
discussion
just
as
a
sort
of
brief
summary,
the
bylaws
state
that
commissioners
need
to
attend
meetings
if
commissioners
attend
like
if
commissioners
are
absent
without
having
excused
themselves
three
times
or
more
than
that
sets
bylaw
processes
and
unpleasantries
into
motion.
A
We
have
a
few
commissioners
who
are
kind
of
at
the
danger
point
and
we
would
like
to
avoid
unpleasantness.
So
we
are
trying
to
make
sure
that
people
are
aware
of
that.
A
D
I
think,
because
we're
having
this
conversation
that
it's
a
good
time
to
contact
each
person
remind
them
of
the
process,
let
them
know
what
their
attendance
is,
discuss
any
concerns
and
chris
and
you,
and
I
can
do
that.
I
don't
think
that
we
should
do
that
on
a
regular
basis,
we're
all
adults.
We
can
read
the
minutes
and
see
the
attendance
and
we
should
track
it
for
ourselves,
and
so
I
would
do
it
now
and
then
only
when
it
becomes
something
that
triggers
the
process
in
the
in
the
by-laws.
D
I
So
do
we
have
a
number
of
those
commissioners
that
have
not
perfect
attendance
or
questionable
attendance.
A
B
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
bylaws
specifically
say
that,
upon
the
third
absence,
without
notification,
to
a
co-chair,
that
the
co-chairs
contact
the
commissioner
to
find
out
what's
going
on,
it
might
be
there's
something
some
emergency
going
on
or
or
their
email
change
and
we're
not
aware
of
something
you
know
to
find
out.
What's
going
on
and
and
then,
if
that
helps
clear
it
up
that
there
might
not
really
be
an
attendance
issue,
but
there
may
be
maybe
there
they
are
disengaged
and
then
upon
the
fourth
one.
B
Then
there's
action,
but
that
there
was
the
bylaws
weren't
adopted
until
june.
They
they
were
amended
in
in
july
that
we
didn't
have
a
secretary
until
july,
so
the
first
official
attendance
was
taken
in
august.
So
there's
the
august
and
september
meeting
so
there's
some
who
have
missed
two
meetings,
so
they're
now
facing
with
tonight
a
third,
possibly
without
notification.
So
that
is,
that
is
so.
It
is
the
proper
time
for
the
co-chairs
to
contact
those
who
have
that.
Third,
one
by
the
bylaws.
I
D
D
So
I
propose
that
the
commissioners,
the
co-chairs
contact
everybody
to
update
them
on
their
attendance
as
we
have
it
recorded.
So
we
can
address
any
inaccuracies
and
that's
going
to
be
a
one-time
thing,
at
least
for
now
and
then
moving
forward.
We
will
be
contacting
people
when
they
miss
their
third
meeting
without
notification
and
that'll
be
a
process
that
luca
and
chris-
and
I
were
about,
does
do
we
need
a
motion
to
to
do
that.
A
B
Yes,
thank
you
the,
but
the
the
reason-
and
I
won't
take
much
time
because
there's
more
important
things
and
you
know
we
will
get
into
the
swing
of
how
to
do
it
efficiently
and
accurately,
but
the
this
was
precipitated
by
the
comment.
Well,
we
have
an
even
number
of
commissioners
when
we,
when
we
had
a
commission
size,
become
18
and
does
how
does
that
affect
voting
and
the
the
simple
answer
to
that
question?
B
Is
it
doesn't
really
matter
whether
there's
an
even
or
odd
number
of
participants
in
a
in
a
decision-making
body?
B
It
takes
us
a
majority,
one
more
yay,
then
nay
at
least
one
more
in
order
for
a
motion
to
be
approved
in
general
and
then
there's
a
couple
items
that
are
different:
two-thirds
to
close
debate
or
extend
debate,
the
so
there's
you
know
some
things
that
are
just
but
but
it's
just
the
math.
If
you
have
enough
it
passes
and
if
you
don't
it
fails
the
the
one
thing
that
I
think
we
can
do,
that
is
a
little
bit.
I
think
important
now.
B
B
You
can't
do
that
so
easily,
because
you
know
people
me
are
muted,
they
don't
find
their
mute
button,
they
raise
their
hand,
but
they
instead
they
applaud
rather
than
do
the
thumbs
up
and
so
that
taking
an
accurate
voice
vote
is
difficult
in
zoom.
So
my
suggestion
is
that
we
do
roll
call
votes,
even
though
they
might
one
of
two
things:
roll
call
votes.
B
If,
if
there
is
some,
you
know,
debate,
conflict
or
difference
of
opinion,
we
should
do
a
roll
call
vote,
but
otherwise
I
would
recommend
that
the
facilitator
use
the
unanimous
consent
thing
that
we
just
did
for
the
minutes
wherever
possible.
If,
after
discussion,
there
seems
to
be
everybody
sort
of
yeah,
that's
fine,
that's
great,
you
know
well
without
objective.
B
Without
objection,
then,
this
motion
will
be
approved,
gives
a
little
pause
and
you
know
then
it's
approved
and
we
don't
have
to
go
through
the
struggle
of
of
a
a
roll
call
which
takes
a
little
bit
of
time,
but
that
that
was
my
what
I
wanted
to
just
share.
Regarding
voting
that,
I
think
for
efficiency
and
zoom
that
unanimous
consent
where
possible
should
be
used,
and
then
we
should
not
attempt
to
even
do
voice
yays
and
nays,
but
do
a
roll
call
as
the
second
one.
D
Put
together
this
statement
to
recognize
the
month
and
as
well
as
other
pieces
of
the
month
and
the
mayor's
office
put
together
letterhead
for
us,
which
is
not
accurate
and
they
acknowledged
that.
But
we
were
facing
a
deadline,
so
we
went
with
it,
but
we
will
have
the
appropriate
letterhead
moving
forward.
D
Wants
to
read
this
out
loud,
you
know
what
hey
marcus.
Could
you
read
it
out
loud
for
me
thanks.
G
Sure
the
city
of
pittsburgh
commission
on
lgbtqia
plus
affairs,
honors
lgbtq
history
month
this
october.
G
We
know
that
groundbreaking,
groundbreaking
moments,
big
and
small-
have
shaped
the
evolution
of
our
community
since
long
before
colonizers
arrived
on
these
waters
and
lands,
the
history
of
our
community
is
deeply
intertwined
with
the
histories
of
indigenous
black
and
brown
lgbtq
peoples
and
we
are
proud
to
respond
to
acknowledge,
while
also
committing
to
create
new
historical
narratives
that
represent
the
breadth
and
width
of
our
community
from
the
timeless
images
captured
by
teeny
harrison
hill
district
to
the
1973
gay
liberation
march
from
the
raid
on
the
travelers
club
to
the

in

2020,
our
history.
G
Our
history
is
complex,
painful
and
powerful.
Note
that
we
do
acknowledge
that
the
violent
deaths
in
our
community
are
more
numerous
than
the
seven
people
we
specifically
named.
We
urge
our
community
to
say
all
of
their
names
and
our
history
is
joyful.
2021
marks
the
25th
anniversary
of
pittsburgh
black
pride,
the
longest
running
pride
in
the
region.

We
also
want
to
acknowledge
these
important
days
of

D
Thanks
for
doing
that,
for
me
it's
a
lot
of
reading,
so
I
sent
that
out
as
a
as
a
media
release
to
the
best
of
my
ability.
I
don't
think
anyone
picked
it
up
and
I
posted
it
in
multiple
social
media
outlets
using
my
own
accounts,
but
I
haven't.
I
haven't,
heard
a
word
of
feedback.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
has
or
if
you
have
feedback
to
share
on
this
since
we're
still
in
the
month.
I
Sue,
do
you
have
a
list
of
the
media
outlets
that
you
sent
it
to
that
you
can
share?
We
don't
have
to
do
it
now,
but
just
curious
like
who
it
was
sent
to,
and
maybe
we
have
another
way
of
elevating
the
discussion
with
contacts
there.
D
Sure
I
can
I'll
email
it
I'll
email
who
I
emailed
this
to
and
then
you
know
we
can
use
that
to
help
build
our
own
media
list.
That's
a
good
idea.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
I
G
A
D
I'd
like
to
just
add
this
is
the
kind
of
really
important
work
that
we
can
do.
That's
bureaucratic
and
seemingly
so
small,
not
small.
That's
not
the
right
word
detailed,
but
this
is
where
we
can
affect
change
that
improves
the
lives
of
people
and,
in
this
case,
protects
them
from
violence.
So
I
hope
that
we
continue
to
look
for
opportunities
to
weigh
in
on
municipal
code,
wherever
whatever
level
of
government.
I
I
would
just
like
to
add
really
quickly.
I
was
at
city
theater
for
their
opening
season
and
they
re
modeled
the
whole
first
floor
and
they
added
an
all-gender
bathroom
to
so
they
have
a
quote-unquote
men's
room.
Ladies
room
and
an
all-gender
bathroom,
very
specifically
so
they're
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
I
think
because
their
staff
and
artistic
directors,
their
team
understands
so.
A
A
F
Trying
to
lock
my
other
screen,
so
I
can
read
from
the
other
screen,
so
I
did
reach
out
to
to
my
contact
at
the
office
of
the
mayor,
whose
name
is
tiffany
gorman,
and
so
she
confirmed
to
me
that
there
is
an
operating
budget
for
the
commission
for
2022
and
that
the
budget
is
57
500
and
this
is
to
be
used
according
to
the
records
that
she
says
is
to
be
used
for
a
commission,
part-time
staff
and
also
to
pay
internships
funding
for
internships.
F
That's
what
the
money
is
supposed
to
be
used.
I
don't
I
don't.
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
other
uses
for
that
money.
Besides
that,
based
on
the
information
that
I
received,
it
seems
like
that's
how
we
are
supposed
to
use
them
on.
F
E
Hi
everybody
thank
you
for
having
me
here.
I
wish
I
had
a
better
update
for
you
than
what
I
do.
It's
been
difficult
in
communications
to
try
to
nail
down
a
time
by
which
we
can
speak
specifically
with
them.
E
I
believe
we
have
accomplished
that
for
this
coming
friday
afternoon
and
brasha
from
my
office
has
reached
out
to
sue,
although
we've
not
been
able
to
confirm
but
would
like
to
assemble,
if
you
will
a
list
of
specifics
that
we
wish
to
speak
with
the
pirates
about,
and
I
can
certainly
touch
base
with
sue
about
that
after
the
meeting.
But
at
long
last
we
do
have
a
call-
and
it
is
tomorrow
afternoon
and
I'll-
be
happy
to
report
out
more
the
next
time
we
meet.
D
I'm
concerned
with
how
this
happened
like
what
is
their
process
to
vet
performers?
This
was
not
just
running
out
pnc
park.
This
was
actually
a
pirates
event
and
so
learning
what
happened
and
was
there
a
breakdown
or
was
it
is?
Is
this
consistent
with
their
policy.
D
Is
important
I
would
also
not
allow
the
pirates
to
hide
behind
the
things
that
they've
been
doing
as
a
justification
for
this,
because
this
is
not
two
sides
of
a
discussion.
It's
not
you
know
it's
not
like
pittsburgh
in
philadelphia
and
they
have
a
hit
a
strong
history
actually
and
they're
as
the
strongest
history
of
our
sports
franchises.
D
So
that's
important
and
that's
good,
but
it
doesn't
give
me
that
they
can
get
away
with
this
kind
of
choice,
and
you
know
bruce
really,
I
I
would
try
to
explain
to
them
the
harm
this
does.
D
He
wasn't
just
he's,
not
just
homophobic
he's
a
racist
he's,
a
deny
he's
an
anti-vaxxer,
he
is
sexist.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
to
find
this
man
offensive
and
he
does
not
represent
pittsburgh
and
he
should
not
represent
pittsburgh.
D
So
I
don't.
I
think
that
there's
been
actual
harm
done,
and
I
really
believe
the
pirates
should
try
to
do
something
to
make
that
up
if
they
can
and
that
I'd
like
them
to
make
sure
the
process
doesn't
allow
this
to
happen
again
and
I'd
also
think
they
need
to
demonstrate.
D
Some,
like,
I
hate
to
say
the
word
of
reparatives,
but
something
along
that
line.
A
D
I
But
I
also
think
it
should
be
from
the
top
down
that
shouldn't
include
even
in
players
also.
They
should,
I
think,
be
involved
in
some
statement,
because
it
does
look
bad
on
the
team
itself.
I
believe.
D
D
But
it
was
a
very
I
thought,
a
very
powerful
video
and
they
showed
it
in
the
stadium
and
it
got
a
mixed
response,
but
they
knew
that
was
gonna
happen
and
they
did
a
lot
of
they.
I
mean
again
they've
done
a
lot
of
good
pieces,
but
this
is
so
high
visible
like
it's
almost.
D
This
is
that
level
of
that
video
that,
but
I'm
not
sure,
maybe
you
know,
I
think,
sponsoring
something
with
their
name
on
it,
that's
very
queer
or
or
maybe
bringing
in
a
performer
next
year,
who
is
proudly
out
and
we're
actually
maybe
bringing
in
local
performers
who
are
proudly
out
and
giving
them
the
audit
of
that
audience
that
we
have
a
lot
of
queer
performers
here
in
pittsburgh,
who
could
benefit
from.
B
Who's
attending
this
meeting
is
it,
is
it
you.
Are
there
other
commissioners
there
or.
E
I
apologize
for
interrupting
we've.
We've
only
been
asked
to
make
initial
contact,
and,
but
out
of
that
meeting
I
would
be
happy
to
to
broaden
the
the
list
of
of
attendees
for
future
consideration
and
comment
and
suggestion.
Absolutely.
Of
course,
we
can
certainly
make
that
part
of
that
that
first
meet.
B
Well,
I
think
that's
encouraging.
I
like
that.
An
initial
contact
is,
you
know
within
matters
like
this.
That
makes
sense
that
they're
gonna
tippy
toe
into
it
and
see
what
they're
getting
agreeing
to
and
getting
into.
So
that's
not
really
a
surprise,
but
you
know
being
firm
with
them
and
and
having
a
meeting
that
has
a
diverse
group
of
people
in
attendance.
I
think
to
have
a
discussion
with
them
with
with
them
around.
B
A
I
My
quick
comment
is:
do
the
pirates
have
a
foundation.
D
They
have
a
it's
called
pit
pirate
charities
and
they
fund
a
lot
of
the
efforts
that
you
see
in
the
community
backpacks
and
sports
leagues,
and
all
that
sort
of
thing.
There
are
staff
of
three,
usually
a
director,
an
associate
and
an
administrative
type
person.
So
I
don't
know
how
well
funded
they
are,
but
they
do
exist.
A
E
Excuse
me,
I
I
don't.
I
don't
know
how
broadly
I
can
share
only
in
that
I
don't
know
that
there
really
is
a
lot
to
share.
I
do
have
bob
charlene,
who
is
in
my
office,
trying
to
do
a
deep
dive
into
how
redistricting
the
standards
I
should
say
for
redistricting
came
to
be,
and
if
there
are
room
for
improvements,
would
would
like
to
your
suggestions
as
it
stands.
E
Now
each
council
member
appoints
one
person
from
their
each
council
member
appoints
one
person
and
then
they
form
themselves
into
it.
Excuse
me
a
unit
which
is
overseen
by
our
city,
clerk
and
appointed
chair
and
a
vice
chair,
and
then
they
set
about
to
to
draw
the
lines
which
are
very
determined
by
a
number
of
things:
population
and
by
law.
E
Minority
district
has
to
be
accomplished,
and
then,
through
that
process
it
ultimately
comes
to
a
series
of
public
hearings
and
also
a
final
vote
by
members
of
council
before
anything
is
actually
granted
and
the
work
needs
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
2022..
E
I
hope
that's
helpful.
Excuse
me,
but
bob
charlene
from
my
offices
is
considerably
more
versed
in
the
subject
than
what
I
am
and
I,
since
we
do
have
time
for
a
broader
discussion.
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
have
him.
Come
to
the
next
commission
meeting
to
explain
it
in
perhaps
greater
detail
and
more
than
happy
to
take
suggestions
as
to
how
the
process
can
be
improved.
A
E
Yeah
and
so
the
the
the
the
response
I
would
have
to
that
is
that,
as
I
understand
it,
there
is
no
overarching
governance
as
to
what
a
committee
must
look
like
the
only
qualification
is
that
each
member
appoints
a
representative
to
into
the
discussion
process.
That's
that's,
basically,
the
the
formation
of
it
not
arguing
that
that's
right
by
any
means,
but
that's
the
process
as
it
exists
today.
E
B
Yeah
bruce
you,
you
said
in
in
your
description
that
there's
a
chair
and
a
vice
chair,
appointed
it's
overseen
by
the
city
clerk
is
that
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair,
selected
from
the
nine
okay.
E
Yeah
they're
self-governing
and
they
and
they
select
and
they
did
select.
Forgive
me
I
don't.
E
D
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
that
our
concern
is
not
just
that
an
lgbtqia
person
serve
on
this
particular
commission.
I
mean
committee
or
anything,
it's
the
larger
issue
of
how
city
councils
makes
their
appointments
to
all
of
the
comm,
all
the
committees
that
they
have
and
that
it's
representation
in
general,
not
just
representation
of
us
and
that's
a
big
thing
to
get
our
arms
around.
D
E
And
it
may
be
helpful
to
have
someone
with
more
legal
capacity
to
come
through
that
as
well
too,
because
probably
a
good
portion
of
it
is
deemed
through
city
charter.
E
And
again
I
could
be
wrong,
but
so
it
might,
it
might
be
advantageous
to
have
someone
with
a
legal
background
or
legal
capacity
to
help
come
through
how
those
things
came
to
be
and
what
process
it
might
require
to
undo.
A
D
I
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
representatives
from
this
commission
meet
with
that
group
of
people
in
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
talk
about
representation
and
particularly
pittsburgh's
lgbtq
mining
needs.
We
don't
have
a
neighborhood
and
I'm
not
proposing
that
we
create
one,
but
that
we,
I
think
that
that's
a
good
way
to
move
forward
is
to
just
have
a
meeting,
and
perhaps
bruce
can
facilitate
that
for
us.
If
it's
appropriate.
E
A
B
Well,
there
were,
there
were
two
things
in
that
one
bruce
earlier
said
that
maybe
I
think
it
his
name
is
bob
charlene.
Is
that
correct,
bruce.
E
He's
he's
he
is
exceptionally
qualified,
exceptionally
qualified
to
be
in
that
position,
and
he
has
a
very
solid
vast
understanding
of
of
redistricting,
and
I
have
200
faith
and
confidence
in
him
and
so
to
bring
him
here
to
help
perhaps
explain
how
that
process
comes
to
be
and
and
works
in
its
entirety
could
be
beneficial,
and
I
would
be
happy
to
bring
him
here.
B
B
Outside
of
this,
it
might
benefit
our
commission
as
a
whole
better
to
have
someone
like
bob
further
explain
the
the
details
of
this.
I
think
at
least
that,
if
not
both
items,
I
think
we
should
take
you
up
on
that
offer.
Bruce
is
my
happy
help
happy.
A
B
Yeah
I'll
briefly
start
this,
so
we
we
elect
officers
annually
and
so
and
the
the
term
is
from
january
through
december.
So
each
year,
at
the
december
meeting,
we
will
elect
the
the
four.
The
six
excuse
me:
six
officers,
three
co-chairs
a
treasurer
outreach
coordinator
and
a
secretary
the
so
that
that
needs
to
be
done
annually.
In
order
to
to
do
that.
B
There
needs
to
be
a
nomination
and
election
committee
to
facilitate
that
for
two
purposes:
one
to
conduct
that
part
of
the
december
commission
meeting
where
the
selection
process
will
happen
and
and
two
also
to
be
available
between
the
november
meeting
and
the
december
meeting
to
other
commissioners
who
may
be
interested
in
in
running
for
one
of
the
the
offices
at
the
december
meeting
and
and
to
avoid
the
awkwardness
of
of
a
commissioner
only
being
able
to
go
to
one
of
the
current
officers
for
for
a
discussion
about
that
where,
where
they
might
actually
be
a
challenger
to
to
one
of
the
officers.
B
So,
in
order
to
to
make
that
as
unencumbered
process
as
possible,
we
we
have
a
nomination
and
election
committee
and
then-
and
so
the
the
also
our
bylaws
indicate
that
the
co-chairs
appoint
commissioners
to
committees,
but
this
one
certainly
is
is
one
that,
as
others
might
be
also
where
volunteers,
who
would
put
their
name
forward
to
assist
with
this
process
and
know
that
they
are
interested
in
doing
that
by
the
november
meeting,
would
be
able
to
then
take
that
on,
because
the
the
committee
should
be
seated
at
the
the
november
meeting
next
month.
B
I
think
it's
what
is
at
the
the
18th
of
november,
but
we
should
check
the
date,
but
with
the,
but
that's
when
the
the
committee
should
should
be
seated.
The
the
process
itself
is
pretty
pretty
simple:
there's
nominations
taken
from
the
floor
at
the
the
december
meeting
and
then
we
do
a
selection
process
we've
been
through.
It
once
worked
out.
I
think
fairly
smoothly
and
cooperatively.
B
So
we've
already
have
a
little
precedent
for
our
sort
of
considerate
way
of
selecting
people
into
leadership
roles.
H
We're
interested
in
serving
on
the
committee.
Do
we
reach
out
to
a
co-chair
or
just
volunteer?
How
does
that
work.
A
B
Yes,
I
think
that's
fine,
I
think
it
you
know-
and
it's
probably,
although
it
can't
be
a
requirement
because
that
technically
they're
an
appointed
committees
are
appointed
so
to
make
it
a
requirement
that
you're
not
interested
in
an
office
is,
is
somewhat
problematic.
Procedurally,
because
then
a
a
co-chair
who
doesn't
want
a
challenger
could
appoint
somebody
to
a
committee
that
excludes
them
from
running
for
office,
so
that
little
you
know
maneuver
is
is
not
something
that
we
that
would
happen.
B
I
think,
but
nor
should
it
be
set
up
that
it
could
so
the
so
the
the
at
the
outset,
people
who
are
not
interested
in
one
of
the
six
officer
positions
but
who
are
interested
in
that
the
process
is,
is,
is
handled
and
handled.
You
know
smoothly
and
well
and
fairly.
Those
are
the
type
of
people
who
should
volunteer,
and
I
would
say
just
let
the
the
co-chairs
know
they
they
make
the
appointments.
You
can
do
it
in
advance.
A
Yeah,
really
we
just
wanted
to
get
this
on
people's
radar
early
so
that
if
they
might
be
interested
in
being
on
the
commit
that
committee
that
they
could
make
sure
to
be
at
the
november
meeting
and
thereby
be
appointed
to
it
and
also
make
sure
to
come
to
the
december
one
too.
Obviously,
if
you're
gonna
be
on
it,.
I
Can
I
ask,
are
we
electing
new
officers
in
december
or
are
we
having
the
current
officers
run
through
the
following
year?
It
seems
too
soon
so.
A
A
So
we
would
be
happy
to
hang
around
for
at
least
another
year.
But
if
somebody
desperately
wishes
to
challenge
one
of
us,
that's
in
their
prerogative
and
it's
in
the
commission's
prerogative
to
decide
that
we
could
be
voted
out.
So
we're
going
to
hold
the
election.
But
all
of
us
are
planning
on
continuing
to
run.
I
So
we
could
just
reelect
the
slate
if
we
wish
to.
A
All
right
so
other
new
business.
We
have
transgender
day
of
remembrance
coming
up
on
november
20th
and
we
also
have
world
aids
day
coming
up
on
december
1st.
F
D
I'd
be
happy
to
take
a
stab
at
a
draft
just
to
get
something
started.
I
think
the
trans
day
of
chance
day
of
remembrance
is
particularly
important
this
year,
that
sounds
trite,
but
because
we
had
three
local
trans
folks
who
were
murdered,
and
so
I
believe
a
statement
would
be
important
and
I'm
not
sure
what
else
we
could
do.
I
feel
like
we
should,
but
I
don't.
I
For
world
aids
day,
the
city
in
the
past
had
put
the
rain
the
ribbon
flags
on
the
city
county
building.
We
could
request
that
I
don't
know
bruce.
Would
that
be
a
possibility.
D
Do
they
have
the
trans
flag
like
because
they've
done
during
pride
month,
they've
had
them.
E
I
They
can
also
readjust
the
lighting,
which
is
very
powerful,
so
that
could
be
that's
a
very
easy
request,
but
it
just
needs
to
be
requested.
F
In
in
terms
of
aids-
and
I
don't
know
this-
the
commission
can
actually
do
this
or
not,
but
we
could
arrange.
We
can
help
to
arrange
something
where
either
a
media.
F
G
F
Posca
cell
or
mpr
can
have
an
interview
with
a
commissioner
and
also
a
doctor,
a
recognized
doctor
that
can
provide
an
update
of
how
it
has
been
evolving
and
eventually
being
more
under
control.
I
think
it's
also
educational
for
a
lot
of
people
to
know
how
aids
has
evolved
recently.
I
think
that
would
be,
but
you
know
I
don't
think
we
should
be
just
us.
We
should
have
an
expert.
I
Also
in
terms
of
something
symbolic
between
the
golf
building,
the
highmark
building,
the
bank
of
new
york
mellon
building,
they
have
changed
their
lighting
to
accommodate
shoes.
So
I
think
that
would
be
a
beautiful
thing
to
see
to
recognize
these
days
again.
That
would
be
like
who
did
we
reach
out
to
to
have
that
done?.
A
I
Yeah,
the
three
main
buildings
downtown
the
golf
building,
the
highmark
building
and
bank
of
new
york
mellon
have
always
relit
their
buildings
like
breast
cancer,
awareness
and
other
issues
and
they're
all
capable
of
doing
that,
and
I
I
sort
of
like
the
idea
of
using
light
as
a
way
of
bringing
light
into
an
issue.
So
I
think
that
would
be
a
beautiful
symbolic
gesture.
A
I
Kathy
is
anything
from
hugh
lane.
Are
they
doing
anything
that
you
know.
C
A
B
I
recommend
we
hunt
it
to
november,
and
and
also
I
mean
we
have,
although
it
probably
could
have
been
written
a
little
more
clearly
than
we
did
in
the
bylaws.
There
is
a
section
in
the
by-laws
on
conflict
of
interest
and
it
is
each
commissioner's
responsibility
to
you
know,
sort
of
do
a
self-inventory
on
it,
but
but
at
least
at
a
minimum,
read
read
it
make.
You
know,
see
what
you
think
of
it.
Does
it
make
sense
to
you?
B
Do
you
know
what
it
means,
and
then
you
know
do
that
ahead
of
time.
That's
your
homework
assignment.
I
am
a
educator
by
the
way,
so
I
like
homework
assignments
and
but
I
think
we
can
maybe
in
the
our
communications
the
commissioner's
announcing
the
next
meeting
as
well
as
including
calendar
invites
with
zoom
links.
We
will,
you
know,
suggest
people
do
that
to
be
prepared
for
discussion.
I
And
I
think
we
could
hunt
it
too
and
just
really
quickly.
Other
commissions
do
sign
a
form
of
conflict
of
interest,
so
that
should
probably
come
from
the
city.
A
A
There's
one
more
announcement
as
well,
which
is
the
appointment
of
dr
rachel
levine
as
a
four-star
admiral
in
the
public
health
service.
So
this
is
huge
and
we
wanted
to
make
special
note
of
it
to
congratulate
dr
levine.
Her
work
that
she's
done
as
health
secretary
in
pennsylvania
has
been
really
phenomenal.
D
B
Yes
I'll
add
this.
She
also
sometimes
lets
people
know
that
she
was
the
first
female
to
graduate
from
her
all-boys
prep
school.
I
do
she
makes
note
of
that
for
john.
I
And
I
would
I'm
sorry
sue.
I
would
still
like
to
have
a
get
together
and
we
need
to
organize
that.
Somehow.
D
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
say:
I've
been
working
with
the
mayor's
office
to
get
our
email
situation
working,
and
so
that
should
be
in
place
soon
and
then
once
that's
done.
That
will
help
with
the
social
media
and
hopefully
we
can
get
it
resolved
before
there's
a
turnover
in
administration.
So
it's
smooth
and
we
don't
have
to
have
to
deal
with
that,
but.
D
D
I
just
sorry
when
I
was
saying
I
realized
with
tiffany
leaving
we
don't
know
what
the
plan
is.
If
the
mayor
is
going
to
appoint
someone
to
fill
out
the
term
or
not,
so
I
did
send
an
email
to
just
ask
about
that,
because
tiffany
represented
the
mayor's
office,
not
just
someone,
I
think
or
yeah
that's
right.
So
so
we
may
be
a
commission
of
17
for
a
while.
