A
We

leads
us
to
public
comment.

All

our
newest
board

karen
breen.
We
are
welcome

this
meeting.
This
is
this
board.
2022
will
be
a
stellar
year
for
us.
We
will
probably
transact
scores
of
properties
and
you're
going
to
see.
We
both
have
money
and
resources
and
staff.
So
you're
going
to
see
us
move
very
very
quickly
now,
and
so
we're
glad
welcome
you
to
this
board
anything
you
want
to

no.
D
Just
that
I'm
sort
of
honored
to
have
been
appointed
to
fill
the
rest
of
diamante's
term.
So
thank
you
all
I'm
pleased
to
be
here.
A
Okay,
that
turns
that
to
executive
director,
dr
walker.
B
Thank
you,
chairman
burgess,
so
I'd
like
to
echo
reverend
burgess's
sentiments
and
welcome
you.
Karen
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
you
in
other
capacities
with
the
ura
and
I
believe,
you're
a
great
addition
to
the
board,
giving
your
urban
planning
background
and
some
of
your
other
skill
sets.
So
we
are
thrilled
to
have
you
here
with
us
all
right,
so
I
will
get
into
the
executive
director
updates.
B
We've
had
quite
a
year
here
at
the
plb,
and
so
I
want
to
do
a
year
in
review
and
give
the
board
an
up-to-date,
up-to-date
snapshot
as
to
where
we
are
where
we're,
where
we're
headed
and
where
we've
been
where
we
are
and
where
we're
headed.
I
will
provide
an
update
on
mou
between
the
plb
and
ura.
B
We
will
talk
about
the
grb
law
contract
and
we'll
provide
an
update
on
a
community
cleanup
that
was
done
with
operation
better
block
to
start
to
demonstrate
some
of
our
community
engagement
and
outreach
endeavors.
So
I
will
not
be
speaking
for
the
full
20
minutes.
I
have
a
wonderful
staff
here
with
me
today
that
will
provide
some
of
those
updates
and
we'll
introduce
them
as
we
get
to
those
sections.
Okay,
all
right.
So
let's
talk
about
major
milestones
for
the
plb.
B
At
the
beginning
of
the
year
we
presented
to
the
board
a
plan
to
increase
capacity
and
to
increase
resources
for
the
plb,
so
in
november
2020
the
ura
integrated
the
plb
as
an
affiliate
of
the
entity.
The
plb
is
now
located
in
the
ura's
development
services
unit.
That's
where
a
lot
of
our
land
transactions
and
land
recycling
efforts
happen,
and
we
pair
that
with
other
development
focused
affiliates,
such
as
the
pittsburgh
housing
development
corporation,
are
peidc
and
el
tridra.
B
So
you
have
some
vertical
alignment
and
vertical
integration
that
adds
additional
capacity
to
the
work.
So
while
the
plb
may
pay
for
one
or
two
full-time
employees,
you
have
access
to
the
full
breadth
of
the
ura's
expertise
which
I
think
has
helped
the
uart.
I
mean
the
plb
to
move
forward,
so
the
ura
determined
that
it
would
negotiate
in
good
faith
with
the
plb
board
to
provide
direction
and
support
to
the
plb
staff.
B
The
most
notable
items
that
I
want
to
highlight
for
this
board
is
the
executed
contract
that
we've
done
with
drb.
You
will
get
a
full
update
from
our
attorney
matt
sanders
on
that
in
a
moment,
but
that
fundamentally
positions
the
plb
to
begin
to
rapidly
clear
title
and
to
do
land
a
lien
clearance
on
properties,
which
is
something
that
has
hindered
the
plb
for
the
last
four
years,
and
so
with
this
private
law
firm
under
contract,
and
they
have
a
robust
knowledge
of
the
city's
inner
workings
around
land
recycling.
B
They
will
be
able
to
help
us
to
clear
the
property
reserve.
You
know
within
a
six
to
nine
month,
time
frame
and
matt.
If
I'm
getting
that
time
frame
wrong,
you
don't
be
shy
about
correcting
me
there.
So,
the
updated!
You
are
a
mpl
plb
mou.
We
want
the
p.
We
don't
want
the
plb
to
enter
a
protracted
process
in
transacting
land
from
the
ura
to
the
plb,
so
the
legal
team
has
worked
on
a
strategy
that
will
allow
pretty
seamless
transfer
of
property
between
the
ura
and
plb
pwsa
and
plb
mou.
B
So
we
know
that
pwsa
liens
are
one
of
the
major
hindrances
to
being
able
to
bring
property
back
onto
the
tax
rolls.
So
we've
worked
with
the
pwsa
to
reach
agreement.
That
will
again
add
another
feather
in
our
cap
to
reduce
the
complexity
around
bringing
properties
back
to
productive
use,
and
then
we
will
provide
an
overview
of
imminent
transactions
that
the
board
can
expect
to
see
close
in
january
2022.
B
Okay,
so
the
next
item-
reverend
burgess-
this
is
an
action.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
this
back
over
to
you.
Oh
I'm!
Sorry,
there
are
additional
items.
I
do.
I
do
apologize.
The
the
last
item
here
is
a
discussion
regarding
the
arpa.
The
american
rescue
plan
act.
Funding
dollars.
We've
had
conversations
with
the
board
about
the
allocation
plan.
The
staff
has
made
a
recommendation.
B
We've
reached
the
juncture,
but
we
need
the
board
to
provide
additional
guidance
and
insight.
As
to
how
you
would
like
to
see
those
dollars
used,
I
will
be
reaching
out
to
the
board
in
early
january
to
schedule
a
visioning
session.
We
will
all
sit
down
and
talk
about
that
proposed
plan
and
some
of
the
priorities
that
the
board
would
like
to
tackle
over
the
next
three
years,
given
that
10
million
dollars
in
funding.
B
All
right
now
for
the
authorization
to
enter
into
mou,
and
I
have
matt
sanders
here
with
me-
reverend
burgess,
to
present
this
to
the
board
and
request
your
authorization.
A
Okay,
first
of
all,
we'll
take
a
motion
to
approve
and
then
we'll
have
discussion
before
I
bring
the
vote.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
authorization
to
enter
into
the
submarine
of
understanding
between
the
pob
and
that
all
right
now
conversation.
E
My
name
is
matt
sanders,
I'm
with
ura
legal,
providing
support
for
the
land
bank,
the
tri-party
agreement
between
the
ura,
the
land
bank
and
the
plb
was
signed
a
few
years
ago
that
governs
the
relationship
between
the
parties.
In
that,
in
that
mou,
there
is
a
section
that
only
covers
transfers
from
the
land
bank,
to
the
ura
and
to
the
city.
E
So
this
mou
is
meant
to
sort
of
streamline
that
process
for
ura
transfers
to
the
land
bank.
So,
for
those
who
aren't
super
aren't
aware
of
the
ura's
disposition
process,
it
can
take
up
to
three
board
actions
before
a
deed
is
actually
executed
and
signed.
This
mou
would
allow
that
that
process
to
be
done
as
part
of
a
single
board
action,
while
also
not
requiring
the
land
bank
to
provide
certain
requirements.
E
The
uri
usually
asks
for
ask
from
developers
such
as
zoning
and
permitting
site
plans
things
like
that
things
that
the
land
bank
might
may
or
may
not
have
at
the
time
that
they
received
the
land.
So
what
this
mou
is
doing
is
basically
streamlining
the
process,
the
ura's
process,
the
disposition
to
the
land
bank
to
just
make
it
more
seamless
and
ultimately
get
the
properties
in
the
hands
of
the
land
bank.
So
they
can
get
to
end
users
quicker.
A
One
of
the
ways
to
think
about
this-
virtual,
not
virtual,
virtually
since
think
of
all
the
properties
that
the
city
owns
the
oreos
and
the
lamb
bank
owns
as
one
big
thing
right
and
even
though
they're
held
by
separate
by
separate
organizations,
they
are
really
one
big
thing,
and
then
we
move
those
properties
to
what
other,
whichever
entity
is
in
best
position
to
recycle
them.
A
In
some
cases
it
will
be
the
land
bank,
in
some
cases,
actually
will
be
the
city
and
in
other
cases
it
will
be
the
ura
and
so
one
of
the
ways
to
think
about
it,
and
I
think
those
are
the
three
I
don't.
Those
are
the
three
major,
the
only
fourth
one
that
owns
significant
amount
of
property
would
be
the
housing
authority,
but
their
mission
is
so
distinct
and
separate.
They
tend
not
to
get
rid
of
their
property,
they
tend
to
keep
it
so
they
so
anyway.
A
That's
the
way
to
think
about
it,
and
what
this
does
is
it
allows
us
to
streamline
the
process
of
moving
them.
We
already
have
a
process
quickly.
We
can
move
properly
to
the
ura
council.
Can
do
it
very
quickly
right,
we
can
introduce
legislation
and
move
it
to
the
new
york
from
the
city
to
the
ura
very
quickly
right.
We
always
can
move
stuff
back
to
the
city,
because
it's
always
ours
so
moving
it
from
any
entity
to
the
city
is
seamless
because
we're
the
default
owner
anyway
right.
A
So,
if
there's
no
owner
where
they
are
so
that's
easy,
but
there's
no
fast
way
to
move
it
from
the
ura
and
there's
actually
a
fast
way
to
move
it
from
the
city
to
the
to
the
landmate
the
same
process.
We
use
to
move
it
to
the
ura.
We
can
the
city
move
to
the
land
bank,
but
they're
difficult
is
the
ua
has
its
own
once
it
gets
into
your
hands.
They
have
their
own
long
process
of
engagement
before
it
moves
properties
in
part.
A
E
Is
that's
an
excellent
explanation?
Generally,
the
ura
is
working
with
the
developer
or
the
end
user
to
transfer
properties
directly
to
them.
Since
the
land
bank
is
going
to
be
in
a
better
position
to
transfer
certain
properties
to
certain
end
users,
it
makes
sense
to
not
make
the
land
bank
go
through
all
of
the
ura's
requirements
that
we're
generally
going
to
require
from
developers,
because
then
the
landmass
not
doing
development
anyway.
E
A
F
E
F
Okay,
all
right
great,
so
then
my
other
question
was
related
to.
I
see
it's
further
down
the
agenda,
but
when
we
do
start
to
work
on
that,
there's
far
more
properties
than
just
what
exists
in
the
property
reserve.
F
So
would
we
be
including
that
as
well
in
in
in
the
mou
that
we
would
have
access
that
we
could
transfer
far
more
than
the
what's
in
the
property
reserve.
E
Right,
I
mean
the
anything
that
comes
from
the
city,
whether
it's
in
the
property
reserve,
or
not,
once
that
new
mou
assigned
to
that
amendment
to
the
tri-party
we'll
govern
that
as
it
pertains
to
the
property
reserve
right
now
in
the
grb
contract,
which
we'll
get
we'll
touch
on
this
in
a
second.
Those
properties
are
absolutely
going
to
come,
go
directly
from
the
city
to
the
end
user.
E
It's
not
going
to
they're
not
going
to
come
to
the
land
bank
first,
but
we
can
touch
on
that
second
point
here
in
a
second,
but
this.
E
F
What
does
that
timeline?
Look
like
going
back
to
the
pittsburgh
to
plb
mou,
that's
in
our
law
department.
D
E
The
law
departments
actually
said
that
they
would
review
that
they
would
review
it
this
week.
So
I'm
hoping
that
that's
gonna
going
to
be
on
the
on
the
table
pretty
soon.
F
D
B
The
only
thing
that
I'd
like
to
add
is
one
of
the
things
we
tried
to
focus
on
this
year
is
less
about
making
the
plb
a
land
owner
and
actually
fixing
doing
the
structural
fixes
to
enable
it
to
transfer
property,
the
city
and
the
ura
already
own,
a
large
swath.
The
problem
is
that
the
end
users
and
we've
identified
the
property
reserve,
because
those
folks
have
waited.
You
know
five
to
six
years,
for
these
properties
to
to
move,
and
so
by
doing
the
legal
and
structural
fixes.
We
enable
that
to
happen.
B
If
the
board
would
like
to
focus
on
the
plb
as
a
land
owner
moving
into
2022,
we
can
have
that
discussion.
I
would
actually
recommend
thinking
of
the
plb
as
more
of
a
mechanism
and
less
of
a
landowner.
The
goal
is
to
get
to
an
end
user
and
bring
it
back
to
productive
use
and
by
this
structural
fix
that
we
did
with
moving
the
plb
under
the
ura,
allows
us
to
get
to
that
virtuality
that
you're
talking
about
to
make
the
point
end
use
and
not
necessarily
the
land
bank
being
the
holder
of
the
land.
A
And
the
reason
is
because
each
so
think
of
it
this
way
city,
you
are
a
land
bank.
Each
of
them
have
increased
levels
of
responsibility
for
the
property
once
you
they
get
them.
The
city
has
the
least
amount
of
responsibility
for
the
property
right.
We
are
not
required
to
maintain
them,
we're
not
required
to
update
them,
we're
not
required
to
stabilize
them.
We
have
absolutely
very
little
responsibility
for
the
properties
that
we
own.
That
may
be
good
or
bad.
This
is
true
right
because
we
have
so
many.
A
You
know
cut
the
grass
we
are
required.
We
cannot
be
owners
of
problem
properties,
we're
not
allowed
to,
and
so
so
therefore
I
mean,
logically,
you
want
them
to
stay
in
the
land
bank,
the
shortest
amount
of
time
possible
because
they're
expensive
for
us
to
hold
so
in
each
each
as
you
go
up,
they
can
hold
properties
longer
with
less
expense
right.
Your
a
can
hold
properties
longer
than
we
can
for
less
money,
the
same
property.
If
it's
in
the
land
make
will
cost
us
more
than
it
would
cost
the
ura.
A
A
I'm
with
a
new
board
member,
so
I'm
I'm
talking
most
of
the
older
board
members.
We
have
two
newer
board
members
who
actually
understand
this
process,
but
I
am
I'm
I'm
saying
it
again,
just
in
case
you
do
not
know
why
we're
moving
them
this
way,
and
this
virtual
this
virtual
ownership.
It
took
us
many
years
to
get
to
this
understanding
of
this.
A
There
was
always
this
tension
between
those
who
want
to
own
the
property
and
those
of
us
who
just
want
to
get
it
out
the
door
and
those
of
us
who
want
to
get
out
the
door
one.
I
think,
but
anyway,
that's
a
different
conversation,
so
we're
there's
a
motion
to
approve
and
a
second
any
more
conversation
see
no
more
conversation,
all
those
in
favor
since
five
by
saying
right,
I
think
that
takes
us
to
financial
report
on
my.
B
The
plb
grb
law
contract.
A
B
B
G
A
F
And
so
could
you
explain
that
aspect
of
that?
Why
we
wouldn't
well
first,
I
guess
it's
an
additional
cost,
but
why
wouldn't
we
include
all
city
properties
instead
of
not
just
the
ones
that
are
in
the
property
reserve.
That's
only
a
small
part.
B
B
For
this,
so
that's
not
a
cost
to
the
to
the
to
the
plb,
so
we
are,
and
so
we
can't
do
all
of
the
properties
in
the
city's
reserve,
because
these
are
the
ones
that
they've
been
waiting
about
four
to
five
years
for
so
this
allows
us
to
do
proof
of
concept
to
understand
how
much
does
it
actually
cost
to
do
this
and,
at
the
same
time
get
some
of
these
properties
over
to
the
community
development
groups
that
have
been
waiting
many
many
years
for
them
to
be
processed
once
we're
able
to
kind
of
better
ascertain
what
the
costs
are?
B
F
D
A
Need
to
start
off
with
a
smaller
group,
because
we
can't
afford
to
do
it
for
a
bigger
group
of
numbers,
a
bigger
we,
we
a
can't
afford
to
do
a
much
of
a
bigger
number
yet
and
two
we
want
to
see
how
effective
this
is.
So
this
is
sort
of
our
palette
because
having
having
having
when
we
did
larmor,
for
instance,
armor
choice,
clearing
the
property
titles
was
a
nightmare
right.
A
You
see
the
end
of
it,
but
you
it
took
us
years
to
do
it
right
and
when
we
saw
in
homewood,
when
you
saw
them
do
homework,
how
it's
called
helminton
kelly.
No,
no,
not
him
say
when
they
did
the
animal
rescue
league
rather,
and
you
have
a
private
industry
who
came
in
and
did
what
the
animal
rescue
league
did
in
homewood.
A
They
were
able
to
move
those
properties
four
times
the
speed
that
we
could
do
and
larmor
the
pulp
that
that
the
government
could
do
and
the
difference
was
they
had
hired
people
who
specialize
where
our
people
do
it.
When
they
get
around
to
it.
They
had
a
engine
that
could
turn
this
over
very
very
quickly.
So
what
we're
doing
now
is
we're
hiring
people
who
specialize
in
just
doing
this.
Oh,
I.
H
H
I
We
were
part
of
the
property
reserve
and
part
of
the
vacant
property
working
group,
so
you
know
they.
They
are
waiting
for
these
properties
and
have
been
provided
notice
that
these
these
are
the
lists.
F
E
E
E
E
57,
but
if
there's
a
need
to
maybe
throw
a
couple
more
in
there
in
case,
we
want
to
push
a
project
or
it's
necessary,
we're
a
little
bit.
We
can
do
that.
We
can
be
versatile,
but
because
the
the
land
bank
is
responsible
for
the
property
reserve,
that's
the
first
thing
on
the
list,
but
there
is
some
wiggle
room
in
there
in
case.
We
need
to
do
other
things.
E
B
Then
the
land
bank
has
to
own
it
and
now
that
stewardship
issue
comes
into
play,
because
these
57
have
users
that
have
been
waiting
for
them.
We
are
transferring
title
very
quickly,
so
then
the
community
group
will
steward
it,
not
the
plb.
So
if
we
do
all
of
the
cities,
if
we
took
all
of
the
properties,
we
then
have
to
steward
them,
whereas
the
city
does
not.
So
we
want
to
prioritize
the
ones
that
are
ready
to
go
and
become
development
projects.
F
I
understand
all
that
my
concern
is
just
an
equitable
issue
that
opdc
may
be
good
at
getting
property
into
the
property
reserve,
but
you
know
I
may
have
community
groups
that
haven't
done
that
in
the
past
and
I'm
worried
that
they
may
be
left
left
behind.
If
we
don't
just
have
the
option
to,
you
know
change
a
strategy
as
we
move
forward.
That's.
B
I
F
A
E
E
F
B
This
particular
contract
we've
got
to
sit
down
together
and
look
at
that
10
million
and
figure
out.
How
do
we
want
to
position
those
dollars
to
start
to
chip
away
at
the
actual
issue,
and
I
think
that
there's
also
some
like
the
plb
can't
do
it
in
isolation.
There
may
be
assemblage
strategies
to
think
about
neighborhood
development
priorities.
How
can
the
land
bank
be
used
for
that,
and
then
how
can
we
clear
use,
grb
or
some
other
entity
to
clear
title
quickly
to
make
those
projects
happen?
B
F
A
All
right
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
already
on
the
table.
I
believe
all
those
any
other
conversation.
B
This
is
a
good
time.
I
think,
to
mention
that
this
is
where
it's
helpful:
to
have
a
capital
rest
capital
budget
resource
dollars
in
the
city's
budget
for
the
plb,
because
if
you
want
to
continue
to
make
those
10
000
properties,
a
priority,
you've
got
to
have
resources
in
the
the
city's
capital
budget.
In
order
to
do
so,
so
I
just
want
to
put
that
in
front
of
the
board
for
consideration
at
the.
A
End
of
this
car,
I
think
that's
me
after
right
toward
the
enemy
I'll
say
a
little
bit
about
about
vision
as
we
move
forward
and
in
terms
of
properties,
I'll
wait
till
then
any
other
conversation
on
this
particular
motion,
if
not
all
those
in
favor
and
divide
by
saying
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye
opposed
nay.
Now,
if
I'm
right,
there's
the
the
next.
The
next
thing
is
not
an
action,
but
it's
a
financial
report.
A
C
Good
afternoon
everybody
I
will
be
the
lambing
staff
that
will
be
updating
you
all
in
the
community
cleanup.
The
land
bank
went
to
homewood
and
we
co-sponsored
a
community
cleaner
up,
focused
on
vacant
land
activation,
and
we
worked
alongside
operation,
better
block
and
grounded
strategies,
and
we
worked
with
homewood's
junior
green
core
group
of
youth.
We
worked
with
university
students
from
bloomsburg
university
and
community
care
stewards
from
grounded's
care
for
vacant
lots
in
the
community.
A
Any
other
conversations
all
right
so
then
I
think
that
takes
us
to
financial
report.
I've
been
trying
to
get
there
the
financial
report,
joe
part
of
it.
A
J
Happy
to
be
here-
and
thank
you
for
having
me,
you
will
see
a
few
slides
here
that
summarize
the
november
activity
of
the
plb,
as
well
as
I
wanted
to
provide
a
balance
report,
as
you
alluded
to
the
ura,
does
support
plb
from
their
bookkeeping
and
finance
standpoint,
and
we
are
working
diligently
to
improve
this,
and
I
want
to
work
a
little
with
this
whole
board
in
order
to
give
you
the
clarity
and
the
financial
reporting
that
you
want
on
going
forward,
especially
as
the
10
million
dollars
of
money
comes
into
the
system.
J
So
what
you're
seeing
here
is
just
a
quick
expenditures
of
november.
I
don't
need
to
read
line
by
line,
but
these
are
in
your
packet
as
well
with
the
last
page.
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,.
J
This
financial
report
would
be
the
net
result,
just
the
p
l
from
this
year.
Dr
walker
alluded
to
the
500
000
that
the
ura
contributed
to
the
plb.
That
was
the
source
of
money
to
cover
all
of
these
expenses,
totaling
23
705.
So
far
through
the
end
of
november.
In
your
board
packet,
you
will
see
that
there
is
an
accounts
payable
summary
showing
that
there
is
about
76
000
coming
up.
J
That
will
include
the
support
staff
of
the
ura,
in
accordance
with
the
cooperation
agreement
that
this
board
approved
in,
I
believe,
march,
22nd
of
2022..
If
you
do
have
any
other
questions
about
that,
I'm
happy
to
kind
of
brief
you
on
that
specific
topic.
The
final
report
you'll
see
here
on
the
next
slide
is
a
fund
balance
report.
This
is
lifetime
of
plb.
J
So
what
this
report
shows
is
that
currently
in
the
plb
bank
accounts,
there's
eight
hundred
and
eighty
seven
thousand
dollars
and
this
this
chart
will
break
out
which
pools
of
money
has
a
remaining
balance.
So
thirty
nine
thousand
dollars
from
a
city
of
pittsburgh
funding.
I
believe
that
came
into
2019
still
64
000
from
the
original
heinz
grant
and
the
remaining
307
thousand
dollars
from
the
heinz
second
grant.
That
was
provided.
I
The
information,
I
think
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
work
to
getting
more
of
a
traditional
budget
to
actual
and
I'd
like
to
see
you
know,
staff
expenses
included
in
our
reports.
So
I
know
that
that's
something
that
you've
stated
you're
working
on,
but
I
just
like
to
reiterate
again
that
for
us
to
be
able
to
to
do
our
work
properly
as
a
board,
we
really
need
the
right
kind
of
reports
and,
as
they
are
now,
it's
not
really
providing
that
for
us.
J
Absolutely
happy
to
if
you
want
to
reach
out
to
me
directly
or
through
dr
walker,
I'm
happy
to
provide
any
more
details
that
are
necessary
for
this
board.
The
finances
are
currently
in
quickbooks,
partially
and
then
ura's
own
netsuite
system.
We
are
working
with
bookkeepers.
J
I've
already
got
external
quotes
from
a
different
bookkeeping
firms
in
order
to
provide
services
to
plb
we're
doing
this
in
accordance
with
the
10
million
dollars
trying
to
gear
up
for
that,
so
that
it
goes
into
one
system
but
understanding
what
the
directive
is,
and
we
will
work
towards
that.
Clearly
in
q1
2022.
B
I'm
not
sure
that
you
would
pay
extra.
I
think
the
goal
is
to
get
the
plb
high
quality
services.
That's
the
number
one
most
important
thing,
whether
that's
internal
ura
capacity
or
bookkeeping
capacity.
I
want
to
be
very
transparent
with
the
advent
of
75
million
dollars
coming
down
to
the
ura
by
way
of
the
city's
arpa
allocation
and
10
million
of
that
being
for
plb.
We
want
to
give
the
plb
the
opportunity
to
determine.
Is
this
something
that
you
want
the
ura
to
do
through
netsuite,
we'll
show
you
what
that
reporting
looks
like.
B
B
A
You
know
the
conversation.
I
do
not
think
this
needs,
there's
no
expense,
so
there's
no
need
for
a
formal
board
action,
but
it's
informational
all
right
that
takes
us
to
legislative
updates.
My
friend,
my
brother,
all
around
great
guy.
G
Thank
you,
reverend,
burgess
and
good
afternoon.
Everyone,
unfortunately
we're
not
in
session
until
next
week,
whether
or
not
the
municipal
claims
and
tax
lien
law
will
move
it's
hard
to
say
it's
sitting
in
committee.
We
keep
pushing,
but
it's
it's
stalled
there
by
my
majority
party,
let's
say
and
that's
even
though
it's
part
of
a
task
force,
so
we
got
it
in
there.
We
got
some
republican
co-sponsors.
We
thought
it
would
move,
but
I
don't
anticipate
actually
moving
until
unfortunately,
probably
until
january.
G
At
this
point
in
time,
there's
not
much
on
the
agenda
up
there,
except
redistricting.
Right
now
seems
to
be
the
the
main
subject.
As
far
as
house
bill
610
is
concerned.
G
This
is
a
bill
that
grants
land
banks
the
same
protection
given
to
redevelopment
authorities
when
they
are
dealing
with
environmentally
compromised
properties
like
junk
yards
and
gas
stations,
and
that
sort
of
thing
you
don't
have
it
takes
the
worry
about
liability
away
from
the
land
bank
when
it's
dealing
with
enforcement
from
the
dep
that
bill
sponsored
by
austin
davis,
actually
in
the
in
the
house,
did
go
through
committee
250,
but
it's
what
they
called
that
went
to
the
floor,
laid
on
the
table.
G
It's
been
sitting
in
there
on
on
their
calendar
since
actually
september,
we're
hoping
it
runs
soon,
but
we
just
don't
know
again,
because
the
majority
party
controls
the
agenda
and
what
gets
voted
on.
So
both
of
these
bills
are
important
and
we
keep
pushing
if
you
know
any
friendly
with
any
republicans,
please
do
your
best
to
push
them.
This
is
these.
G
Are
bipartisan
issues
they're,
not
political,
in
my
view,
in
any
way
shape
or
form,
but
it's
hard
in
these
days
to
get
that
message
through.
So
that's
my
report.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
any
new
business,
no
new
business?
Is
there
any
a
public
comment?
We
have
a
public
comment
section
both
before
and
after
anyone
wanting
to
address
this
land
bank
board.
K
Hi,
I'm
on
the
zoo
hi.
How
are
you
doing?
Hi
there
hi
everybody,
my
name's
lou,
I'm
actually
a
vista
member
right
now
with
the
city,
I'm
working
with
shelly
dinko
day
in
food
policy.
K
So
thanks
for
having
this
meeting-
and
I
just
wanted
to
offer
up
a
few
thoughts
about
how
you're
going
to
be
moving
into
the
new
year.
The
first
is,
I
know,
you're
seeking
to
build
partnerships
with
stakeholders
in
the
community.
A
really
big
group
of
stakeholders
that
I
really
hope
you
tap
into
are
people
who
are
working
in
urban
agriculture.
K
We
have
a
lot
of
community
members
who
are
growing
either
on
their
own
lots
or
on
lots
with
community
groups,
gardens
farms,
for-profit
non-profit,
you
name
it,
and
it's
something.
That's
really
picking
up
in
the
city
right
now
and
the
community
is
really
asking
about
access
to
land.
K
But
if
there
could
be
a
mechanism
where
we
work
in
partnership
with
all
of
you
to
get
some
of
those
participants,
some
who
have
been
stewarding
the
land
for
10-plus
years,
actual
ownership
over
their
property.
That
would
be
amazing.
So
just
consider
that
to
be
something
that
the
community
really
cares
about,
and
I
would
love
to
see
this
connecting
on
they're
also
already
asking
about
how
they
can
use
the
land
bank
in
a
way
that
will
be
efficient
for
them.
And
then
the
second
thing
is
a
question.
K
I
know
we
had
discussion
over
the
properties
that
are
in
the
pittsburgh
property
reserve.
There's
57
and
you
said,
there's
room
for
other
properties
to
be
considered.
How
could
some
of
my
community
members
or
organizations
petition
to
have
one
of
their
properties
be
the
one
that
is
considered
on
a
shorter
timeline
through
the
property
reserve?
A
Thank
you
that
ends
our
public
comic
section.
I
typically
don't
respond
to
public
comment,
but
I
will
at
least
this
moment
to
say:
there
are
two
ways
in
which
the
member
republic
can
it
can
can
can
contact
the
land
bank.
One
is
through
the
ura
staff.
Certainly
you're
welcome
to
contact
the
ura
staff
for
any
issue
that
you
want.
Second
of
all,
you
have
the
the
capacity
to
talk
to
any
board
member
of
the
ura
for
a
similar
exposure
to
our
work
and
our
activity.
A
For
instance,
I'll
give
you
a
great,
for
instance,
in
my
community
it
was
a
it
was
a
school
homewood
school.
I
went
there
for
k
to
third
grade
before
I
went
to
catholic
school
great
building.
It
really
had
no
use.
It
was
too
big
for
a
private
organization
to
take
over
school
buildings.
If
it,
you
know,
when
most
non-profits
take
over
school
buildings
it'll
bankrupt
them,
they
just
the
heat
alone,
just
killed
them.
A
A
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
ura
decided
to
extend
to
work
on
extending
the
baseball
field
to
create
a
new
sports
arena
and
it
needed
parking
and
the,
and
so
the
highest
and
best
use
of
that
building
actually
was
to
be
torn
down.
So
there'd
be
adequate
parking
because
parking
was
choking
the
community
on
game
days
right,
but
had
we
simply
only
listen
to
the
community
group's
passion.
We
either
put
money
into
that
building,
which
is
now
in
the
ground
and
that
money
would
have
have
had
no
beneficial
effect.
A
It
is
my
experience
by
my
and
I'm
just
being
clear
of
that.
I
understand
community
groups
and
individuals.
Interests
are
properties
right,
I'm.
I
grew
up
in
pittsburgh.
I
have
there
are
properties,
I
love
right.
You
know
holy
rosary
church.
I
love
that
building
right
now.
That
building
has
no
in
use.
A
If
I
put
money
into
it,
well,
not
that
we're
going
up
with
the
church.
That's
the
catholic
church's
job,
but
it's
not
because
it
has
no
end
use.
We
need
to
be
really
disciplined
about
this,
because,
if
not
we're
going
to
get
thousands
of
community
people
with
thousands
of
community
projects
that
they're
very
passionate
about
that,
they
have
sentimental
value
to
that.
They
have
high
hopes
and
dreams
of
turning
into
the
best
thing
you've
ever
seen,
but
no
practical
market
driven
or
fundraising
capacity
to
make
that
reality
to
make
that
a
reality.
A
When
you
look
at
the
thousands
of
properties
we
have,
and
the
you
know,
homewood
alone
is
what
60
vacant
with
vacant
structures
there's
just
too
many
of
them.
So
we
have
to
be.
We
need
a
policy,
that's
transparent
and
objective.
So
when
someone
comes
to
us
and
says
we
want
you
to
maintain
this
property,
we
as
a
board,
says:
okay,
here's
our
rules,
this
fits
or
doesn't
fit.
So
it's
fear
across
the
board.
Does
that
and
hopefully
that
makes
some
sense.
A
That's
my
vision
of
how
this
will
go
and
I'm
going
to
to
to
talk
to
dr
walker
and
sort
of
in
the
board
and
hopefully
approve
the
development
of
such
a
matrix
before
we
start
spending
money
to
rehab
or
to
to
to
to
to
help
properties
that
don't
have
clear,
clear,
community
driven
and
community
funded
opportunities
to
be
rehabbed.
B
So
I
think
that
we
can
leverage
some
of
the
work
that
our
disposition
team
has
done
for
ura
properties
and
use
that
for
the
land
bank,
and
I
think
it's
a
great
point
that
the
the
plbs
function
to
clear
title
and
to
have
it
ready
for
such
a
destiny
is
not
the
same
as
investing
dollars
to
a
singular
destiny
without
the
broader
analysis,
and
I
think
that
lends
itself
to
the
city's
larger
land
use
strategy
that
needs
to
be
talked
about,
but
we'll
get
there.
I
think.
A
We
will
I
just
want
to
give
like
I
said
vision
cast.
That's
just
my
vision.
I
could
be
wrong
any
final
things
if
no
final
things
I'll
take
a
motion
to
oh
merry
christmas,
everybody
and
happy
new
year.
I'm
sorry,
I
want
everyone
or
I'd
be
hanukkah
or
whatever
holiday
or
kwanzaa.
Whatever
your
religious
perspective,
please
enjoy
this
holidays.
This
is
both
for
my
holidays.
It's
also
my
anniversary,
and
so
I
was
married.
You
know
I
got
married,
but
you
know
you
know
when
god
was
young,
so.
A
And
so
who
I
met
in
the
first
grade,
and
so
you
know
I'm
I'm
hoping
that
everyone,
though,
have
a
blessed
prosperous
christmas
season
and
prosperous
new
year.
We
will
have
a
new
mayor
coming
in
and
we
will
have
a
new,
a
new
council
reconvening,
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
those
two
things
and
doing
great
things
in
our
city.
With
that
now
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
meeting
and
live
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
people
by
saying
hi,
hi,
fosu's,
nay.
Thank
you.
