A
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
the
pittsburgh
land
bank
of
february
11
2022.,
our
first
order
of
business
is
roll
call
with
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
room.
B
D
A
Thank
you
very
much.
That
brings
us
to
public
comment.
Is
there
anyone
online
who
wants
to
address
this
land
bank
board
of
directors?
Do
we
have
any
public
comments
online.
A
All
right,
there
is
no
public
comment
that
gets
to
my
report,
which
is
no
before
that
the
approval
of
december
21
million
minutes
they
were
emailed
to
you.
I
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
say
by
saying
aye
aye.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
That
brings
us
to
my
report.
I
have
a
couple
of
things
to
announce.
We
have
a
board
resignation:
doug
anderson
resigned
from
the
pittsburgh
land
bank
board
of
directors
in
december
2021.
A
He
was
former
director
of
finance
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Doug
anderson
has
taken
on
a
new
role
at
pnc
bank,
and
so
we
will
hopefully,
after
the
administration,
fulfills
that
role
his
former
role
in
government
as
director.
A
Perhaps
that
person
will
also
take
this
role
too,
but
we'll
have
to
see
what
the
administration's
plans
are.
That
takes
us
to
the
executive
director's
update.
B
Thank
you
chairman,
so
I
have
a
few
updates
today.
I
am
going
to
ask
plb
slash
ura
staff
to
assist
in
some
of
this
presentation,
but
I
will
certainly
begin.
The
first
announcement
is
that
we
have
a
plb
staffing
update
and
we
are
here
to
announce
that
greg
miller
the
former
plb
manager
did
tender
his
resignation
at
the
end
of
january.
He
resigned
from
his
position,
but
during
his
time
he
helped
to
achieve
significant
milestones
for
the
plb.
B
These
were
including,
but
not
limited
to
the
grb
law
agreement
between
the
plb
and
city
of
pittsburgh,
which
is
notable
the
memorandum
of
understanding
between
plb
and
pwsa,
and
much
improved
relationships
with
the
cdc,
cbo's
and
other
land
recycling
stakeholders.
It
is
important
that
we
inform
the
board
that
we
do
have
a
transition
plan.
B
This
will
be
overseen
by
myself,
ura
executive
director,
greg
flissrum,
the
ura
senior
advisor
david
geiger
and
the
ura's
chief
legal
officer,
nathan,
clark
and
a
host
of
other
staff,
many
of
whom
are
here
today
in
the
interim
m.l
meyer,
ken
jones
matt
sanders
and
emily
kochak
will
be
working
with
other
supporting
staff.
To
be
the
main
points
of
contact
moving
forward,
we
do
anticipate
a
discussion
with
the
board
as
to
your
preferred
staffing
plan
for
2022
at
a
board
retreat,
which
is
underway,
which
is
being
scheduled.
B
For
that
strategic
planning
session,
I'm
not
going
to
walk
through
all
of
this,
but
you
will
be
receiving
communication.
I
did
want
to
highlight
for
the
board
some
of
what
you
can
anticipate
during
that
strategic
planning
session.
Would
we
like
to
know
as
staff
serving
this
board?
We
want
to
know
how
we
did
in
2021.
We
believe
that
we
should
be
measured.
Our
work
should
be
quantified
and
the
board
should
respond
to
how
well
we're
upholding
our
end
of
our
mou
slash
cooperative
agreement.
B
We
will
look
at
the
plb's
operating
budget
in
its
current
state
of
financials,
we'll
talk
about
plb
priorities
and
then
2022,
staffing
and
fundraising
as
it
relates
to
the
arpa
allocation
that
was
awarded
by
city
council,
we
will
be
issuing
a
survey
to
the
board.
We
will
want
to
understand
in
advance
of
the
retreat
your
priorities,
your
vision,
what
you
think
will
make
the
plb
successful
and
how
do
you
feel?
What
do
you
feel
could
be
done
to
ensure
that
you
are
successful
in
your
role
as
a
board
member?
B
A
Now
we've
actually
talked
offline
about
this,
and
so
with
you
being
the
overall
director
of
this
process,
I
have
great
confidence
in
the
interim
staff
and
the
ability
to
replace
him
only
when
the
time
comes.
B
With
that,
I
am
going
to
turn
over
the
next
update
regarding
the
plb
and
city's
grb
law
contract
to
matt
sanders.
He
is
our
associate
council
who's
been
working
on
land
bank
matters
and
is
a
been
a
critical
partner
with
emily
kochak
in
making
today's
board
meeting
possible.
So
matt
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
E
Thank
you
doctor
just
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
grb
law
contract.
This
board
at
the
last
board
meeting
approved
a
contract
with
grb
law,
the
land
bank
and
the
city
where
grb
law
would
provide
quiet,
title
legal
services
to
the
city
on
city-owned
properties
and
the
land
bank
would
help
pay
those
costs.
E
Since
then,
grb
law
has
received
the
first
batch
of
title
searches
to
start
the
quiet
title
process.
They
actually
received
the
the
last
of
those
today
and
they
will
be
filing
the
first
12
quite
quiet
title
actions
at
the
start
of
next
week.
E
The
city
has
provided
us
a
list
of
20
properties
that
grb
law
can
can
start
beginning
the
title
search
process
for,
but
in
collaboration
with
the
city,
we
will
be
reviewing
we'll
be
reviewing
those
properties
and
determining
if
there's
any
other
properties
that
are
also
a
priority
that
need
to
go
that
need
to
have
the
process
started
as
well.
F
D
So
one
of
the
important
parts
about
this
contract
is
that
the
city
is
the
client
for
our
donation
agreement
with
grb
law.
So
we
really
leave
most
of
the
properties
and
city
priorities
and
ongoing
cdc
communication.
They
have
the
first
say
and
we
at
the
land
bank
can
weigh
in
but
a
lot
of
these
properties.
The
city
already
had
title
searches
on,
and
we
speak
with
them
and
for
those
that
they've
started
they
send
over
to
grb
law
and
other
properties
are
prioritized
because
their
titles
were
due
out
years
ago
and
some
properties.
F
B
So
another
item
we
have
on
the
agenda
today
is
we
thought
that
it
might
be
beneficial
to
the
board
and
to
the
public
is
to
to
illuminate
a
little
bit
of
what
happens
behind
the
scenes
with
the
quiet
title
process,
it's
a
very
complicated
and
at
times
complex,
endeavor,
and
so
we
have
made
a
commitment
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible
and
to
show
what
happens
behind
the
curtain.
So
we
have.
The
staff
here
will
also
present
this
the
quiet
title
process.
It's
very
high
level.
B
There
is
some
detail
there,
but
we
didn't
want
to
bombard
you
with
detail,
but
we
do
want
to
illuminate
some
of
the
challenges
and
opportunities
that
are
present.
E
Yeah
so
I'll
give
you
sort
of
the.
I
guess,
the
the
5
000
foot
view
of
how
this
process
works,
because
it
is
the
legal
process
that
can
be
somewhat
difficult
so
to
navigate,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
different
things
that
could
that
could
go
on.
E
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
go
through
this
slide
and
explain
sort
of
what
the
the
process
from
start
to
finish
and
what
we
can
sort
of
expect
timeline
wise
for
from
when
we
start
the
quiet
title
process
to
when
we
actually
receive
quiet
title
and
then,
after
that,
I'm
gonna
kind
of
explain
to
the
board.
What
I
hope
you
sort
of
take
out
of
this,
because
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
the
the
the
legal
process
itself
and
how
it
actually
happens
behind
behind
the
scenes.
E
So,
in
the
case
of
the
grb
law
contract,
the
city
has
already
provided
the
the
title
reports
to
grb
law
for
the
first
12.,
so
they're
about
to
start
the
process
in
filing
the
complaint
to
quiet
the
title.
E
So
at
that
point,
grb
law
needs
to
determine
whether
the
defendants
can
be
located
or
not
so
sometimes
with
with
these
properties.
E
The
previous
owner
is,
is
deceased
and
the
property's
been
passed
down
to
multiple
layers,
or
sometimes
people
are
just
transient
and
it's
difficult
to
find
them.
So
grb
law
will
make
a
good
faith
effort
to
try
to
find
where
these
people
are
located
and
that's
done
through
different
public
methods.
E
If
we
can't
determine
if
they're
deceased
or
not,
we
have
to
first
attempt
to
personally
serve
them,
and
if
we
can't
find
them,
we
do
what's
called
alternative
service,
which
is
basically
putting
a
advertisement
in
a
in
a
locally
served
circulated
newspaper
as
well
as
posting
a
copy
of
the
complaint
at
the
actual
site
at
the
most
publicly
facing
place,
and
that
can
be
done
in
lieu
of
actually
having
to
find
the
person,
because
sometimes
with
certain
properties
that
have
certain
legacy
issues,
it
can
be
very
difficult
to
impossible
to
trace
down
every
single
person
who
might
have
an
interest
in
the
property.
E
Normally
in
these
situations,
the
defendants
aren't
filing
answers
so
like.
If,
if
the
defendant
is
say
the
city
and
the
city
has
a
tax
lien
or
if
it's
the
county
or
the
school
district.
Sometimes
they
won't
file
an
answer
and
try
to
protect
the
lien
they'll.
Just
let
it
go
and
that's
that's
the
kind
of
default.
What
happens
most
of
the
time
occasionally
you'll
have
a
defendant
who
has
served,
who
will
file
an
answer
and
try
to
protect
their
lien.
In
that
case
it
what
happens
next
is
kind
of
a
process.
E
At
that
point,
the
court
will
order
a
will,
will
file
a
quiet
title
order
and
the
land
bank
will
have
quiet
title
on
the
pro
and
the
the
property
people
will
be
ready
to
to
transfer
to
ultimately
the
unit
user.
E
What
I
want
kind
of
the
board
to
understand
about
this
process
is
that
it's
not
necessarily
linear
what
prop
what
properties
go
in.
First
for
a
quad
title
action
aren't
necessarily
going
to
be
the
ones
that
come
out
right.
E
The
pro
the
the
prop
the
process
is
also
very
like
property
specific,
so
each
these
properties
going
to
have
their
own
set
of
defendants
that
we're
going
to
have
to
try
to
locate
they're
going
to
have
their
own
set
of
liens.
There
might
also
be
other
issues
with
easements
and
and
other
encumbrances
on
the
property
that
we're
going
to
have
to
address
so
timeline
wise.
E
In
the
best
case
scenario,
if
we're
able
to
personally
serve
every
defendant
and
nobody
files,
an
answer
and
there's
really
no
other
outstanding
issues.
We
can
push
through
a
quiet
title
action
in
a
few
months.
What
I
think
is
probably
more
likely
to
happen
with
the
property.
The
properties
that
the
land
bank
is
going
to
be
is
going
to
be
taken.
E
Care
of
is
that
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
complicated
than
that
and
that
there's
going
to
be
service
issues
and
there
could
be
other
outstanding
legacy
issues
that
our
outside
council
is
going
to
have
to
determine
and
work
through.
E
But
there
is
a
possibility
that
if
we
can't
find
the
defendants
that
it
could
be
quite
quite
a
bit
longer
than
that,
and
if
there
is
other
other
other
problems
and
clearing
the
title
as
in
somebody
files,
an
answer
or
there
are
other
are
there
are
other
people
that
want
to
protect
their
interest
in
the
property.
It
could
take
quite
a
bit
longer
than
that.
E
So
I
know
that
was
a
lot
and
probably
a
lot
of
legal
jargon.
But
if
there's
any
questions
from
the
board,
I'd
be
happy
to
take
them.
E
If
you
can't
determine
that
the
person's
deceased
beforehand,
you
have
to
attempt
to
serve
them,
which
takes
30
days
and
then
you
file
for
a
motion
of
alternative
service
and
that
takes
them
potentially
another
60..
So
it
could
take
somewhere
between
30
days
and
90
days
to
actually
to
to
complete
an
alternative
service.
F
E
So
there
isn't
the
whole.
So
at
you,
you
can
actually
quiet
the
title
in
a
day,
but
you're
also
doing
the
notice
part
before
the
sheriff's
sale.
You
have
to
put
everyone
noticed
before
the
sheriff's
sale
and
then
at
the
share
sale.
You
have
a
chance
to
pay
the
upset
price
and
then
you
can
quiet
it.
That
day.
B
All
right,
no
other
questions,
so
we
will
move
on
to
a
brief
overview
of
the
status
of
the
tri-party
cooperation
agreement
matt.
I
believe,
you're
also
covering
this
one.
Okay,.
E
So
the
board,
at
the
last
board
meeting
approved
a
mou
between
the
ura
and
the
land
bank
for
how
properties
transfer
from
the
ura
to
the
land
bank.
We
also
discussed
at
the
time
that
there
would
need
to
be
an
amendment
to
the
tri-party
agreement
that
that
codifies
a
process
from
transfers
from
the
city
to
the
land
bank,
and
we
have
been
in
in
conversations
with
the
city
about
the
terms
of
that
agreement.
E
We've
been
in
conversation
with
them
for
a
few
months,
and
I
think
that
we
have
the
majority
of
the
terms
down.
The
city
would
prefer
to
hold
off
on
executing
any
tri-party
amendment
until
a
new
finance
director,
a
permanent
finance
director
has
been
approved,
has
been
approved
just
to
get
that
person's.
You
know
final
final
blessing
on
the
document,
so
we've
been
in
cooperation
with
them
and
in
conversations
with
them-
and
we
expect
this
to
be
signed
when,
when
the
new
finance
director
is
appointed.
B
Next,
we
have
the
plb
qualified,
end
user
consideration
scorecard.
One
of
the
conversations
we've
been
having
here
at
the
board
table
has
been.
How
do
you
engage
with
the
with
the
landing?
How
do
we
ensure
that
that
is
as
equitable
and
fair
as
possible?
So
emily
has
done
some
amazing
work
around
beginning
to
think
through
this
from
a
policy
standpoint
and
she's
going
to
share
with
the
board
some
of
that
early
stage.
Thinking
again,
this
is
open
for
response
and
for
additional
engagement,
but
want
to
illuminate
for
you
what
we're
thinking
at
this
juncture.
D
Thank
you,
dr
walker.
So,
as
you
all
know,
our
policies
and
procedures
help
guide
the
land
bank
and,
as
they
were,
created
in
2018
a
lot
of
them.
We
need
to
elaborate,
as
we
take
our
first
steps
in
our
disposition
process
and
create
these
new
processes
that
we
want
the
landmake
to
be
intended
for,
and
so
out
of,
section
5
0.03
and
our
policies
and
procedures
elaborate
on
our
end
user
qualification
and
so
what
the
plb
and
ura
shared
staff
did,
and
what
our
data
and
gis
specialist
tim
dolan
created.
D
Is
this
scorecard
consideration
sheet,
and
so
in
our
policies
and
procedures.
We
know
that
an
end
user
has
to
own
no
real
property
that
has
unremediated
citations
or
violations
of
state
and
local
property
codes
and
ordinances
has
no
property
that
is
tax,
delinquent
or
was
taxed
delinquent
when
the
prospective
end
user
transferred.
The
property,
has
no
property,
that's
subject
to
a
judgment
in
a
tax
foreclosure
process
and
does
not
have
a
delinquent
water
account
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh's,
water
and
sewer
authority
or
other
local
water
utility.
D
And
so
we
took
this
information,
and
we
have
this
scorecard
and
within
these
different
categories
that
you'll
see
in
your
board,
packets
and
also
on
the
slide.
We
have
a
general
considerations,
a
priority
guidelines
for
commercial
properties,
additional
considerations
for
commercial
properties
and
discretionary
information,
and
while
each
of
these
categories
has
a
score
from
one
to
five
with
a
total
score
of,
say,
an
applicant
submitting
a
property
transfer
application,
a
total
score
would
be
20..
D
A
No
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
actually
helpful
because
that's
one
of
the
things
I've
been
somewhat
vocal
about
was
to
set
up
an
external
process
so
that,
as
we
begin
to
distribute.
C
A
That
there'd
be
a
process
that
was
consistent
so
that
there
is
no
one
off
so
that
whatever
we
do
will
go
through
the
same
process,
the
same
determination
and
to
be
a
fair
and
equitable
process
to
to
that's
that's
transparent,
and
I
thank
you
for
for
starting
that
process.
F
Thanks
for
going
over
that-
and
I
wanted
to
be
prepared-
I
just
didn't
see
it
in
the
you
know
like
we
were
talked
about.
You
would
go
over
here
since
it
wasn't
in
the
in
the
you
know
the
initial
packet
can
you
was
this
something
that
greg
was
working
on
prior
like
he
explained
the
process
to
get
to
what
we
see
here.
D
Absolutely
yeah,
so
precisely
as
chairman
burgess
explained,
we
did
not
have
a
process
in
place
that
fairly
and
numerically
ranked
our
applicants
that
submitted
property
transfer
applications
through
the
plb's
available
properties
and
so
much
of
our
choice
in
a
qualified
end
user
was
really
based
on
conversations
on
internal
working
groups
and
meetings.
But
this
allows
us
to
put
say
a
name
and
run
it
through
all
of
these
columns
and
all
of
these
considerations
and
to
have
a
number,
and
so
our
higher
scores
are
our
more
appropriate
end.
D
Users
that
benefit
community
follow
our
zoning
and
development
requirements
and
have
done
the
work
beforehand,
and
so
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
for
us,
as
we
start
acquiring
and
going
through
a
disposition
process
of
more
and
more
properties.
But
it's
a
way
to
fairly
and
equitably.
Do
this
for
everyone.
D
Correct
yes,
so,
each
of
these.
So
if
we
went
through
category
a
for
general
considerations-
and
we
have
these
five
subcategories-
an
example
of
say
a
tax
foreclosure
prior
to
this
land
bank
transfer-
is,
you
would
have
a
ranking
of
one
to
five
under
that
category
and
the
highest
ranking
5
would
say
a
prospective
end.
User
is
not
an
individual
or
business
entity
that
was
the
owner
of
a
property.
D
F
D
Yeah,
so
there
are
some
of
these
subcategories
like
you're
saying
they
would
automatically
come
with
like
a
not
applicable,
and
so
because
in
our
policies
and
procedures,
our
end
user
cannot
own
real
property.
That
is
tax
delinquent
if
they
are
to
submit
an
application
and
be
considered
so
certain
subcategories
of
this,
so
to
speak,
knocks
them
out
of
the
score
and
that's
when
staff
would
go
back
to
the
applicant
and
that's
when
we
would
ask
for
additional
materials.
F
D
D
F
Like
what
groups
like
you
know,
if
sam,
for
instance,
at
the
city,
if
we're
going
to
build
a
new
playground,
we
we
have
this
new
process
where
we
put
on
the
engage
page
and
people
can
go
on
and
make
comment
and
talk
about
it.
I
just
want
to
know
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is.
You
know
something
that
there
is
community
support
for,
even
though
we're
all
here,
charged
with
the
best
interest
of
the
city
and
people
that
live
here
and
make
sure
it
works
for
everyone.
F
B
Part
of
what
we
need
to
do
and
what
she's
with
emily's
mentioning
is
that
we
need
to
build
sort
of
the
framework
to
give
community
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
those
materials
did
not
exist.
As
of
december,
we
prioritize
we
use
january.
We
were
not
preparing
for
a
board
meeting,
so
they
started
to
put
together
the
artifacts
that
will
help
to
facilitate
discussions
and
make
it
digestible
for
communities.
I
wanted
to
come
here
to
the
board
first,
so
you
know
how
we're
thinking.
B
So,
if
there's
something
here,
you
know
that
you
want
us
to
double
down
on
or
to
maybe
you
know,
modify.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that
before
we
start
engaging
the
public
more
fully
and
in
the
board
retreat.
You
know
we
will
have
a
more
quantified
version
of
this
that
we
can
kind
of
explore.
But
again
I
don't
want
to
bombard
you
in
that
board,
retreat
with
things
that
you've
not
even
been
exposed
to.
So
I
think
the
team
has
done
a
really
fantastic
job
of
giving
us
something
to
nibble
on
preliminarily.
F
B
My
goal
would
be
able
to
start
voting
things
into
policy
like
middle
q2.
Make
q2,
I
think,
that's
what
you
know
seems
like
a
pretty
tenable
timeline,
but
again
we
want
to
put
together
a
work
plan
and
set
some
benchmarks
so
that
again
the
board
and
the
public
can
hold
us
accountable,
but
these
are
some
of
the
priorities
that
I've
identified.
That,
I
think,
are
you
know
things.
I've
heard
the
board
talk
about
that.
You
want
to
see,
so
you
know
we're
illuminating
it
a
little
bit
today.
F
D
Yep,
of
course,
director
wilson,
I
know
we
targeted
commercial
properties
first,
because
a
property
that
is
headed
toward
the
land
banks
disposition
process
is
our
mixed
use,
property
on
six
bogs
avenue,
and
so
this
is
a
way
to
prepare
ourselves
to
enter
in
to
that
process
as
well.
But
you
are
absolutely
correct.
B
Making
a
note
here
for
a
parallel
track
for
residential
properties,
we'll
make
sure
that's
done
so
the
last
item
and
I'm
actually
really
excited
about
this
one,
because
I
think
it's
come
up
quite
a
few
times.
What
is
the
actual
plb
disposition
process?
I
think
this
is
some
relatively
new
thinking.
We've
been
looking
at
this
for
about
14
months
and
we
are
ready
to
synthesize
that
into
a
very
smart
graphic
that
I'm
sure
represents
most
of
it,
but
there's
more
detail
to
it.
I
mean
we
can
unpack
that
in
the
upcoming
weeks,
but
emily.
B
I
believe
that
you
are
you
and
matt
may
be
reviewing
this
one
together.
D
Absolutely
yes
yeah.
I
know
ken
jones
if
you
would
like
to
explain
our
disposition
process
as
well.
You're
welcome
to
shed
light
on
this,
but
I
created
this
timeline
after
looking
at
our
policies
and
procedures,
because
what
you
read
in
our
document
does
not
always
translate
well
to
a
timeline,
and
how
do
we
take
that
information
and
put
it
into
practice
just
like
these?
D
Our
second
step
is
upon
selection
of
a
qualified
end
user.
We
are
required
per
our
policies
and
procedures
to
post
a
public
notice
and
also
to
post
physical
signage
at
the
property,
and
this
includes
information
about
the
end
user.
The
consideration
and
the
proposed
reuse
at
least
30
days
prior
to
executing
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
overlapping
with
this
step
is
board
approval.
D
Interested
parties
may
file
a
petition
within
20
days
of
the
land
bank's
posting
of
these
online
notices
and
signage,
and
if
we
receive
15
or
more
objections,
we
are
required
to
hold
a
predisposition
public
hearing
in
the
neighborhood,
where
this
property
is
being
put
up
for
sale,
and
so,
if
it
is
determined
based
on
testimony
at
the
public
hearing
that
this
disposition
is
consistent
with
the
goals
and
needs
of
the
neighborhood
and
is
likely
to
benefit
the
neighborhood
and
as
well
as
this.
This
disposition
is
approved
by
two-thirds
vote
of
the
entire
board
of
directors.
C
D
The
timeline
varies
considerably
so
similar
to
our
quiet
title
process.
This
is
under
best
circumstances,
so
you
are
correct,
but
it
could
certainly
take
longer
as
well.
C
C
You
know
from
a
banker
mortgage
company
out
there
and
a
lot
of
times
they
don't
commit
for
longer
than
60
or
90
days
to
a
rate
to
hold
a
rate
in
so
just
throwing
it
out
there
for
consideration.
E
So
I
might
be
able
to
touch
on
that
the
six-month
closing
period
from
like
the
signing
of
the
of
the
of
the
contract
for
sale.
That's
that's,
that's
the
number
that's
set
in
our
policies
and
procedure,
but
it
can
certainly
be
well
before
that
right.
So
if
I
mean
we
set
that
six
month
period,
just
because
that's
what
is
required
for
us
in
our
documents
right
now,
but
we
anticipate
that
closings
would
probably
happen
well
before
that.
So
if
someone
needs
to
lock
in
an
interest
rate,
we
we
could,
we
could
do
it.
F
My
question
for
you,
but
also
may
include
yourself:
can
you
explain
the
disposition
process
how
it
aligns
with
these
other
two
previous
items.
D
We
run
each
of
these
property
transfer
applications
through
this
scorecard
to
determine
the
highest
and
best
use,
and
so
that
will
play
a
role
in
allowing
us
to
have
accountability,
but
also
transparency,
because
we
can
numerically
rank
these
applicants
and
is
not
just
up
to
staff
to
decide
the
best
use.
It
is
also
up
to
a
system.
D
Scorecard
is
what
we
will
take:
a
property
transfer
application,
and
then
we
will
go
through
the
scorecard
with
that
application,
so
that
provides
us
a
first
view
into
an
applicant's
development
plans
into
their
financing
into
their
history
with
the
community.
But
until
we
run
it
through
our
scorecard,
we
won't
compare
it
to
other
applicants.
F
B
I
think
it's
also
important
to
stress
that
this
is
again
we
are.
We
are
proposing
ways
that
this
can
be
done.
We
are
not
mandating
that
this
is
how
it
should
be
done,
and
I
I
think
again,
it's
a
conversation,
starter
and
it's
gonna
be
very
helpful
to
hear
from
the
board
you
know,
and
eventually
the
public
as
to
the
best
way
to
do
this.
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
expedience.
A
A
That
takes
us
to
finance
report.
I
think
all
if
all
of
you
probably
have
received
a
financial
report,
there's
one
one
in
your
pockets.
That
is
invoice
of
a
hundred.
This
was
a
hundred
and.
B
G
No
problem-
I'm
joe
karlovitz
director
of
finance,
the
ura,
as
you
see,
on
the
slides
and
in
your
board
packet,
because
there
was
no
january
meeting,
there's
both
a
year-end
report
as
well
as
a
january
report
for
your
review.
G
G
The
note
for
the
board
is
that
this
is
the
minimum
amount
available
that
was
per
that
agreement
through
the
the
calendar
year
2021..
I
do
have
a
copy
of
the
breakdown
for
the
board
in
person.
I'm
sorry
about
those
and
virtually
if
you
need
it,
I
can
distribute
that.
But
that
is
the
one
item
there.
G
G
The
final
note
will
be
that
in
prior
board
meetings,
we've
had
comments
about
the
bookkeeping
and
the
accounting
of
the
plb.
Just
echoing
dr
walker's
comments
that
this
will
be
part
of
the
conversation
at
the
strategic
research.
A
Okay,
I
need
a
motion
to
receive
this
report
and
to
approve
the
payment
to
the
ura
for
its
administrative
support.
Is
there
such
a
motion
any
conversation
about
this,
if
not
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye?
A
C
Thank
you,
reverend
burgess,
a
couple
things
as
far
as
house
bill
610
is
concerned.
It's
been,
as
they
say,
put
on
the
table
and
when
that
happens,
it
stays
there.
C
So
that's
over
in
the
house,
but
just
this
past
week
I've
met
in
harrisburg
with,
along
with
senator
costa,
mayor
gainey,
jake
wheatley
and
some
of
our
staff
senate
staff
about
the
municipal
claims
and
tax
lien
legislation
that
I
have
it's
not
obviously,
as
I
reported
in
the
past,
it's
not
being
moved
by
the
majority
party.
C
However,
as
the
we're
into
the
budget,
the
the
governor
gave
his
budget
address
last
week,
we'll
be
in
appropriation
series
going
forward
one
of
the
strategies,
as
we
sat
around
the
table
and
talked
about
another
way
to
do
this,
maybe
would
be
to
get
it
into
the
fiscal
code
which
a
lot
of
times
is
a
lot
easier
to
do
so
we're
going
to
pursue
an
extra
avenue
here
or
another
avenue.
I
should
say
in
trying
to
get
this
done.
C
The
mayor
and
jake
wheatley
expressed
to
senator
cross
to
the
staff
how
important
it
was,
and
it
is
to
get
this
law
passed.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
looking
at
other
strategies
to
do
that
as
we
move
forward,
I
wouldn't
expect
I
mean
hopefully
by
the
end
of
june.
That's
when
our
fiscal
year
is
up,
and
hopefully
the
budget
will
be
passed
by
that
time,
hopefully
we'll
find
a
solution
which
may
be
the
fiscal
code
to
incorporate,
put
this
tax
lien
law
into.
So
that's
my
report.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
report.
Any
questions
seeing
none
is
there
any
new
business
before
us.
A
All
right,
I
want
to
make
three
three
thing:
three
comments
that
I've
been
thinking
about.
One
is-
and
this
is
something
for
us
to
think
about
at
least
two
of
the
things
I'll
do
those
first.
A
The
two
are
legislative
council
rejected
this
year,
wilkinsburg's
attempt
for
us
to
annex
them,
but
there
is
a
process
that
the
city
now
is
doing
to
investigate
annexation
for
next
year's
ballot,
which
would
put
it,
which
would
mean
annotation
for
us
2023.,
and
so
I
know
wilkersburg,
I
think,
is
part
of
a
try,
cog
land
bank,
I'm
pretty
sure
they
are,
and
so
I
want
to
suggest
to
the
land
bank
staff,
just
as
the
ura
is
going
to
probably
be
notified
to
begin
to
look
at
what
annexation
of
wilkinsburg
would
do
to
your
operation.
A
I
think
the
land
bank
needs
to
seriously
now
think
about
what
that
would
mean
to
us
and
how
that
would
change
things.
I
think
there
is
a
strong
likelihood
that
council
will
approve
if
a
petition
comes
to
us
next
year.
I
think
it's
a
strong
likelihood
that
I
can't
guarantee
it,
but
I
put
on
my
prophetic
hat
crystal
ball,
or
it
depends
on
your
your
viewpoint
right.
I
think,
there's
a
strong
likelihood
that
council
will
pass
such
an
annexation
proposal.
A
2023,
I
guess,
would
be
two
thousand
we're
in
20
we're
in
22
now
right
so
I'm
doing
so
they
would
go
to
voters
2022
and
we
would
they
would
become
part
of
the
city
january
2023.
That's
the
time
frame
right,
because
what
happens
is
we
have
to
vote
to?
Let
them
vote,
they
would
vote
in
a
may.
It
can
vote
any
time,
but
theoretically
vote
the
may
primary
and
then
that
following
january
they're
automatically
part
of
our
city,
and
so
I
think
we
should.
A
That
gives
us
a
window
but
not
forever,
and
so
we
need
to
think
about
that
that
addition
to
our
city
and
what
that
would
mean
to
the
land
bank
number
one
number
two
and
I'm
using
this
forum
to
say
something
that
I'm
going
to
say
over
and
over
again,
and
so
please,
you
know
if
you
would
just
allow
me
this
moment.
A
I
introduced
legislation
that
will
be
talked
about
on
wednesday
at
our
extending
committee's
meeting
of
creating
an
affordable
housing,
finance
and
implementation
committee.
I,
along
with
mr
levail
and
mr
wilson.
We
are
serious
about
trying
to
increase
the
amount
of
housing
units,
especially
affordable
housing
units
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
A
I've,
given
this
great
thought
over
my
tenure
on
council,
I
think
I
said
this
statement-
I
I
said
it
privately,
but
I,
I
probably
say
it
publicly.
I
do
believe
that
between
mr
lavelle
and
I,
if
you
put
us
together,
we
have
participated
in
more
affordable
housing
development
projects
than
any
two
people
in
the
lives
who
are
still
in
government
over
the
last
15
years.
I
pretty
much
will
stand
by
that
statement.
I
think
it's
probably
true.
A
You
know,
we've
been
pretty
much,
you
know
it's
authors
and
architects
and
we
are
in
agreement
that
we
have
to
do
something
to
increase.
The
housing
opportunity
fund
was
a
way,
but
it's
not
enough.
A
It's
been
effective,
it's
not
enough,
and
so
I
I'm
going
to
suggest
to
you
that
that
this
committee,
which
the
land
bank
executive
director,
is
one
of
the
people
on
that
committee,
along
with
the
ua
director,
the
proposed
the
housing
authority
director
mayor's
office
council,
a
collaborative,
but
there
are
at
least
in
my
head
and
that
this
is
the
moment.
I'm
I'm
gonna
give
you
my
my
most
mature
thinking.
A
I
may
be
wrong,
but
this
is
the
ricky
burgess
sort
of
view
of
how
to
do
affordable,
housing,
generation
and,
and
hopefully,
it'll
get
some
traction.
There
are
three
things
I
think
that
we
have
to
do
and
I'm
going
to
argue
it
has
to
be
done
simultaneously.
It
has
to
be
done
now.
I
think.
First
of
all,
we
have
to
come
up
with
some
vehicle
to
incentivize
private
developers
to
incorporate
affordable
housing
in
their
market
rate
units,
so
that
has
to
happen
immediately.
A
That
is
that
the
city
is
is
growing,
but
we're
growing
by
by
building
these
market
rate
units
by
in
displacing
or
or
or
displacing
by
or
just
letting
rot.
You
know
units
in
african-american
communities
and
they're
moving
out,
so
we're
we're
stabilizing
but
we're
bringing
in
mostly
affluent
non-african
americans
into
the
city
where
lower
incomes,
african-americans
are
fleeing
the
city,
and
so
we
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
put
more
affordable
housing
in
these
market
rate
developments.
We
have
to
find
an
incentive
and
I'm
my
argument's
going
to
be.
A
It
cannot
be
a
hammer,
but
it
has
to
be
a
carriage.
So
what
can
we
do?
Can
we
can
we
change
zoning?
Can
we
give
them
a
right
development
by
rights
if
they
have
10?
That's
my
number,
because
that's
the
number
that
came
over
from
the
affordable
housing
task
force.
You
know
that
I
think
that's
the
number
10
affordable
housing
units
units
are,
I
should
I'm
getting
in
the
weeds
now,
but
you
know
10
years
above
10
percent.
Some
number
like
that
affordable
housing
gets
this
opportunity.
A
At
least
you
know
at
least
they
have
to
do
workforce
which
would
be
80
or
below
of
housing.
Some
something
like
the
back
of
the
envelope
kind
of
thought,
and
then
so
that's
number
one.
I
won't
talk,
I'm
talking
too
much
about
that
number.
Two.
A
I've
seen
this
in
other
cities.
I've
looked
at
it.
I
think
we
need
a
finance.
We
need
to
create
a
private,
private,
public
partnership,
financial
trust
and
get
the
banks
private
dollars
to
create
this
revolving
loan
fund,
which
I'm
my
goal,
is
somewhere
around
200
million
dollars
from
their
reinvestment
funds
to
a
public-private
partnership
agency
that
provides
low
revolving
loan
funds
both
for
pre-development
and
for
development
of
causes.
A
I
think
that's
right,
and
I
think
that
then
the
third
thing
that
so
that
you
get
the
private
market
to
to
to
participate
in
a
significant
way
and
then
the
third
thing
is
something
that
we
actually
brought
up
councilman
level
and
I
have
been
advocating
for
this
quietly-
for
I
guess
what
four
years
now
and
that
is
that
the
city
should
bond,
should
take
out
a
bond
whether
it's
through
the
using
the
housing
opportunity
fund
as
a
vehicle
or
some
other
vehicle,
whether
it's
you
know
a
referendum
or
something
as
we've
done
in
other
taxes
increased
tax.
A
But
I
think
we
need
to
put
on
the
table
somewhere
between
100
to
250
million
dollar
cash
up
front
in
a
place,
incentivize,
affordable
housing.
I
think
those
three
tools,
what
you're
all
financial
can
be
done
should
be
done,
must
be
done
if
we're
serious
about
building
affordable
housing.
We
do
not
need
more
studies,
we've
done
the
studies.
We
know
how
to
do
this.
It's
simply
a
matter
of
capital.
If
we
put
the
capital
on
the
table,
we
can
end
by
the
way.
So
let
me
go
to
my
soapbox.
A
A
They
redirected
that
dollar
into
a
loan
into
repayment
of
a
loan
that
they
took
out
and
create
this
large
loan
fund
to
assist
primarily,
not
only
but
primarily
market
rate
and
commercial
development
in
the
city.
It
was
extraordinarily
effective.
We
did
it,
it
worked.
We
know
it
works,
but
now
was
time
to
help
affordable
housing
in
poor
communities.
People
are
like
wow,
that's
a
lot
of
money,
I'm
not
sure
we
can
do
that.
A
We've
done
this
before
now:
let's
do
it
for
the
people
who
need
it
most,
and
so
I
believe,
though,
so
my
three
words
are
coordinated,
comprehensive
collaborative
whatever
we
do
has
to
be
coordinated,
comprehensive
and
collaborative,
and
this
committee,
I
believe,
has
to
bring
together
because
for
this
to
work
you
need
to
bring
the
resources
of
all
of
our
engines
under
one
roof
collaborate.
It
coordinate
the
ass,
make
sure
it's
the
right
way
in
the
right
and
then
present
it.
A
A
This
idea
that
one
development
comes
into
a
community-
let's
say,
let's
just
say,
homewood
and
we're
going
to
build
new
housing
at
homewood,
and
the
community
says
okay.
Well,
here
is
this
list
of
things
we
have
to
have
for
you
to
build
this
affordable
housing
in
homewood
right.
We
want
a
community
benefits
agreement
on
this
low
income
housing
project
and
here
are
25
things
we
want.
I
think,
rather
we
should
say
is
this:
you
know
as
a
community.
Here
are
all
the
amenities
we
want
the
community
have.
A
These
are
the
opportunities
we
want
the
people
to
have
and
does
this
development
fit
into
this
wish
list
of
things
we
want
to
have,
and
how
does
it
support,
because
oftentimes,
the
housing
itself
is
the
benefit
right
right.
The
housing
giving
low
and
working
class
people
clean,
decent,
affordable
housing
is
a
community
benefit
and
redeveloping
that
community
and
providing
a
higher
tax
base
and
higher
property
values
is
itself
an
amenity
if
there's
no
other
amenity,
and
so
we
just
have
to.
A
I
think
we
have
to
stop
thinking
about
development
as
a
one
deal
and
then
every
deal
comes
to
a
community
and
they
say
well,
you
got
to
give
us
everything.
Instead,
there
needs
to
be
this.
This
is
the
vision
of
our
community
and
then
project
by
project.
We
link
in
to
see.
Does
this
fit
with
our
predetermined
belief
or
what
our
community
should
look
like,
and
I'm
trying
to
try
to
figure
that
out?
A
I
don't
know
if
I
can,
but
that's
that's
sort
of
my
mission
over
the
next
two
years,
so
I
want
to
just
give
you
because
I'm
going
to
talk
about
this
more
on
wednesday
and
we'll
talk
about
it,
probably
forever
over
and
over
and
over
and
over
again
until
we
do
it.
I've
been
talking
about
it.
Privately
I've
been
saying
these
things
privately
every
now
and
then
publicly.
Now
I'm
going
to
become
public
public
and
demand
that
it
happens.
A
About
half
a
billion
dollars
would
be
a
great
way
to
begin
this
process.
That's
not
all
we
need,
but
it
will
certainly
create
a
housing
that
boom
is
too
strong
to
work,
but
it
will
it
will.
It
will
slow
the
displacement
of
of
low
and
modern
income
people
out
of
the
city,
and
it
will
create
the
possibility
of
truly
mixed
income
neighborhoods
in
our
city.
So
that's
my
my
sermon
for
the
day
is
there
anybody
else
have
anything
from
other
members
of
the
board.
