Please,
when
you
address
us,
tell
us
your
name
and
location
of
the
city
where
you
reside,
it
can
be
just
a
neighborhood
or
the
address
whatever
you're
comfortable,
so
name
and
location,
and
then
we're
willing
we're
we're
open
to
to
to
listen
to
you
so
sell
these
in
your
hands.
D
Okay,
thank
you
chairman
and
I'll.
When
I
call
someone's
name,
you
can
begin
to
speak
I
believe
we
have
some
visitors
today
who
are
just
observing
so
just
feel
free
to.
Let
us
know
if
you're
just
here
to
observe
so
the
first
name
I
have
on
my
list
is
Billy
Vaughn.
E
Just
want
to
give
my
public
comment
before
and
after
we
need
the
land
bank
to
support
all
types
of
development
as
far
as
Community
Development,
that
includes
private
investors,
CDC
organizations
and
community
members
wanting
to
purchase
property.
Also,
the
upcoming
treasure
sales
coming
up
and
there's
no
type
of
you
know
order
for
residents
to
know
what
they
shouldn't
be
bidding
against
to
help.
You
know,
keep
the
competition
against.
You
know,
cdc's.
We
don't
want
that.
E
You
know
we
want
to
work
together
where
the
development
that
needs
to
happen
with
cdc's
or
organizations
they're
not
being
bidded
against
private
investors
as
far
as
Community
investors.
So,
just
speaking
on
that
and
asking
for
the
land
bank
to
support
all
types
of
people,
purchasing
property
from
different
sectors,.
F
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Celeste.
Taylor
I
live
in
Homewood
I
did
submit
public
common
in
writing
as
well
and
I
do
want
to
Echo
much
of
what
my
neighbor
Billy
Vaughn
said,
and
to
make
sure
that
the
land
bank
supports
community
members
purchasing
property
through
the
city.
I
know
I
was
lucky
enough
to
be
able
to
purchase
a
home
in
Homewood
10
years
ago,
and
it
was
because
of
good
friends
that
I
was
able
to
do
that.
F
I
thought
that
the
land
bank
was
going
to
be
a
good
friend
to
many
people
in
in
different
communities,
but
especially
in
Homewood,
so
I'm
just
really
wanting
this
to
get
moving
first
of
all
and
to
make
sure
that
ordinary
people,
like
myself,
have
access
to
the
land
bank.
Thank
you.
G
I'm,
just
here
to
observe,
but
I
do
want
to
agree
with
Billy
died
like
all
the
communities
we
have
a
part
of
the
landing,
so
I
think
he
to
write
on
and
want
to
know
with
that.

Good
afternoon
I'm
here
just
observing
but
I
do
Echo
the
sister
Billy
Vaughn
and
sister
Celeste
their
comments
and
would
Echo
the
sentiment
that
the
land
bank
puts
community
and
the
residence
and
their
concerns
first
in
allows
this
that
are
interested
that
resed
next
to

make
sure
that

P
Hi
I'm
a
reporter
from
the
Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette
I'm
just
observing
for
now,
but
I
might
have
questions
later.
D
D
Okay,
next
I
have
Professor
Stephanie
dangle.
Q
Hi
I'm,
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
law,
school
and
I
teach
the
class
where
a
lot
of
our
members
are
here
today.
The
class
is
specifically
on
vacant
lot:
development
into
Green,
Space,
We've,
working
primarily
through
the
adopt
a
lot
program,
but
we're
also
very
interested
in
working
with
the
land
bank
to
support
these
initiatives.
Q
Developing
green
spaces
has
a
tremendous
impact
on
public
health
and
crime,
including
a
almost
30
percent
decrease
in
gun
violence,
based
on
a
study
done
by
the
University
of
Pennsylvania,
we're
hoping
to
do
similar
work
here.
I
know
the
priority
is,
is
understandably
affordable,
housing
but
I
hope.
The
land
bank
will
also
consider
the
importance
of
green
space
as
well.
R
Hello,
I'm
Thomas
Mulholland
I'm
in
Wilkinsburg
I
work
with
Allegheny
Land
Trust
in
the
Three
Rivers
agricultural
land
initiative,
we're
working
with
Garden
groups,
established
community
garden
groups
across
the
city
to
secure
long-term
and
secure
land
tenure
for
them
to
grow
food
and
continue
their
operations
and
we're
optimistic
for
the
potential
of
the
land
bank
to
support
that
work.
So
thanks
for
having
me.

Thanks

the
Wicked
problems,
class

An
amateur
historian
and
I
I
would
Echo
what
others
have
said
as
far
as
getting
the
land
bank
into
action
and
make
the
city
more
beautiful
and
people
into
homes
that
were
built
a
hundred
or
more
years
ago
and
be
the
new
caretakers
of
our
patrimony.
D
Thanks

Michelle
and
I,
that
appears
to
exhaust
our
list
of
public
speakers.
A
Thank

I
have
been
exhausted.
Our
list
of
public
speakers
we
go
now
into
my
report.
Of
the
first
thing
we
need
is
an
approval
of
the
March

Meeting

I
need
a

Second,
all

The
second
thing
we
need
is
the

of
the
March
2023
financials
approval
of
the

A
Okay,
well,
those
are
fair

our

Saying

Next,
we

the
Ura
quarterly

pursuant
to
the

for
the

so
I
need
a

A
Second,

Second,

DOT,
o
r
g,
all
right,
so
that
takes
us
to
the
staff
updates.
B
B
So
far,
our
purchase
and
sale
agreement
is
being
circulated
between
the
parties
and
the
next
step
is
scheduling.
A
closing
date
for
this
sale.
Hopeful
for
May
early
May
could
be
more
realistic
for
late
May
and
we
would
keep
the
board
of
directors
updated.
B
Our
first
update
is
that
the
objection
period
for
this
sale
aspired
as
of
yesterday
so
Thursday
and
land
bank
staff
did
not
receive
any
objections
to
the
sale.
The
next
step
is
closing
on
this
agreement
and
this
sale
pending
completed
Quiet
Title
actions
on
the
city
side
and
then
a
transfer
from
the
city
to
the
Ura.
For
then,
a
transfer
from
our
partners
at
the
Ura
to
the
land
bank
and
conveyance
to
our
community
organization
pause
for
any
questions
from
our
board
of
directors.
B
The
first
update
is
we
have
a
public
hearing
scheduled
for
Monday
May
1st
from
6
to
7
pm
at
the
sixth
Mount
Zion
Baptist
Church
in
the
neighborhood
after
the
community
meeting
that
sale
will
return
to
the
board
of
directors.
For
a
second
vote
on
the
right
of
the
slide,
you
can
see
some
additional
information
being
circulated
publicly
and
internally
with
our
partners.
B
On
this
slide,
you
can
see
that
we
have
a
20-day
objection
process
for
any
interested
parties,
and
we
are
there
moving
towards
this
and
through
this
process,
with
all
sales
on
those
previous
slides.
B
On
the
next
slide,
we'll
see
some
updates
from
our
property,
Reserve
donation
agreement
between
the
city,
the
land
bank
and
grb
law.
This
slide
was
shown
to
board
members
in
the
public
at
last
month's
meeting,
with
some
key
changes
highlighted
is
that
we've
had
a
number
of
successful
sales
through
this
agreement
to.
B
Groups
that
had
previously
requested
these
properties
through
the
property
Reserve
process,
we're
very
hopeful
that
more
of
these
properties
are
going
to
move
towards
a
final
sale
and
clearing
the
properties
put
forth
in
this
donation.
Agreement
back
to
productive
views
back
to
the
community
I'll
pause
for
any
questions
from
our
board
members.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I
think
that
goes
to
our
landcare
agreement.
The
POV
wishes
to
participate
in
the
UA's
land.
Care
Program
reimburse
the
Ura
for
maintenance
and
stabilization
Services
performed
on
certain
POV
on
property.
So
we
need
a
motion
to
enter
into
an
updated
contract
with
the
urban
Redevelopment
authority
to
participate
in
their
land
care.
Property
maintenance
program
need
a
motion.
I
don't
know,
second,
all
those
in
favor.
So
far
by
saying
aye
aye
aye.
What
was
his
name
all
right?
A
We
want
to
have
ml
Meyer
as
authorized
signature
for
the
pob
pob
wishes
to
empower
her
as
the
authorized
signature
for
documents
related
to
title
real
estate
and
settlement
for
the
bylaws,
the
charitable
Society
purchase
and
final
sales
agreements
and
deeds.
So
we
need
a
motion
to
empower
ml
Meyer,
the
UI
real
estate
director
as
an
authorized
Cemetery
for
documents
related
to
title
real
estate
and
settlement,
so
I'm
not
signing
5
000
pieces
of
paper.
Is
there
such
a
motion.
B
A
A
The
second
second,
oh
those
in
favor
by
saying
aye,
opposer's
name,
fine,
moving
right
along.
We
need
action
for
quiet
title
services,
we're
seeking
to
approve
during
a
contract
with
the
suite
of
firms
for
services
related
to
title
settlement,
choir
title
and
tax
foreclosure
work
know
the
items
as
an
unneeded
basis.
Is
there
such
a
motion?
Someone
was
a
chairman.
A
Second,
oh
those
in
favor,
since
five
by
saying
aye,
aye,
opposer's
name
is
order
and
for
those
who
are
watching,
I
am
going
to
actually
say
something
at
the
end.
For
those
of
you
who
are
watching
so
please
stay
with
us.
I
want
to
share
some
idea
with
you,
but
right
now
we're
going
through
these
important,
but
some
somewhat
housekeeping
activities.
A
The
rfps
final
submission
deadline
concluded
on
Monday
March
27th
at
5
PM,
the
plb
staff
are
excited
to
work
with
a
diverse
array
of
firms
that
submitted
our
responses,
and
so
we
need
to
motion
to
authorize
the
Pittsburgh
land
bank
to
retain
the
services
of
the
falling
law
firms.
Morant
law
offices
in
Orleans,
PC
I
need
a
motion
to
authorize
to
enter
into
a
contract
retaining
services.
A
All
right,
what
was
his
name?
Thank
you
very
much
that
exhaust
I
think
our
actions
that
takes
us
to
our
legislative
updates
back
to
you,
Sally.
D
Thank
you
chairman,
so
we
have
two
pieces
of
legislation
here
at
the
city
level
and
also
at
the
state
level
that
are
important
to
the
functionality
of
the
land
bank
I'm.
So
we've
been
speaking
about
these
updates
every
month,
so.
D
The
tribe
party
cooperation
agreement,
this
amendment
to
an
existing
agreement
between
the
land
bank,
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
the
urban
Redevelopment
Authority
was
went
before
Council
in
June
of
2022
and
so
that
approval
of
that
amendment
has
been
pending.
Since
that
time,
we
provided
an
internal
briefing
to
council
members
in
December
of
2022,
and
we
are
waiting
on
the
scheduling
of
a
public
hearing
to
bring
that
bill
back
to
the
council
table
for
a
vote.
D
P
Yeah,
this
is
Nina
Hagen
from
the
PG
I.
Had
a
quick
question:
are
we
how
soon,
after
the
internal
briefing,
are
we
expecting
a
hearing
to
be
called
on
the
tri-party
agreement.
B
Nina,
that
is
a
great
question.
Would
you
mind
holding
off
for
our
second
round
of
public
comment.
B
D
Okay,
moving
on
to
our
our
second
legislative
update,
we
have
now
two
bills
pending
at
the
state
level.
We
have
several
amendments
to
the
municipal
claims
and
tax
lien
law
recall
this
bill
was
introduced
last
year
and
came
quite
close
to
being
past
finally
started
earlier
in
the
year
and
there's
now
a
bill
before
both
the
Senate
and
the
House
of
Representatives,
thanks
to
Senator
Wayne,
Fontana
and
state
representative
Emily
KK,
any
questions
or
comments
in
the
board.
D
D
And
I
apologize
to
members,
I
I
think
that
this
is.
We
had
this
under
our
staff
updates,
but
we
did
want
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
review
the
proposals
for
property
sales
that
the
land
bank
has
been
identifying
and
speaking
with
our
local
Community
Development
corporations
and
non-profits.
D
We
need
to
talk
to
the
next
start
in
our
interests
so
and
before
we
go
through
these,
and
we
do
have
a
a
speaker
to
talk
about
some
of
these
projects.
So
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about,
so
the
land
bank
has
been
engaging
and
assisting
Community
Development
corporations
that
have
traditionally
participated
in
the
property
Reserve
process,
which
was
the
sunset
in
2020.
D
So
we
are
working
to
make
sure
that
existing
property
in
the
reserve
is
moving
along
as
well
as
identifying
prop
Parcels
that
Community
organizations
are
interested
in.
It
is
a
you
know,
an
important
part
of
preserving
affordable
housing
that
we
have
this
pathway
for
our
cdc's
and
non-profits
to
purchase
property,
and
you
know
we
also
these.
These
Partners,
who
have
been
engaged
in
previous
processes
and
are
familiar
with
current
land
recycling
processes,
are,
are
there
to
walk
with
us
as
we
are,
are
learning
and
implementing
our
sales
processes
as
well.
D
So
this
is,
you
know
this
is
just
a
starting
point.
We're
really
excited
to
continue
to
engage
with
more
cdc's
and
Community
organizations
and,
through
those
conversations,
also
work
towards
moving
opening
up
our
competitive
disposition
process.
We
can
also
sell
directly
to
Residents,
and,
what's
you
know,
importantly,
crucial
for
the
land
bank?
Is
that
we're
we're
speaking
with
communities
about
those
processes
and
we're
working
alongside
of
communities
throughout
the
city
to
implement
programming?
D
That
is
right
for
them
in
their
communities,
and
so
the
majority
of
the
properties
we're
going
to
talk
about
are
coming
from
the
city's
inventory.
But
there
are
some
as
well
that
would
come
through
the
urban
reading.
D
D
I
also
just
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
these.
Are
discussions
for
proposals
we're
so
excited
to
talk
about
them,
because
I
think
it's
so
helpful
to
really
frame
what
a
land-based
project
looks
like.
So,
if
you're,
if
you're,
watching
the
slides
and
you're
hearing
about
the
projects-
and
you
think
oh
man,
I-
would
really
like
to
see
that
in
my
own
Community,
we
are
very
excited
to
talk
to
you
and
and
work
with
with
everyone,
and
continue
to
expand
this.
D
This
programming
and
project
proposals
throughout
the
city,
all
right
so
with
that
we're
gonna
hop
to
so
we
wanted
to
start
by
we're
going
to
introduce
Justin
Belton
with
the
Pittsburgh
Housing
Development
Corporation.
So
phdc
is
another
affiliate
of
the
urban
Redevelopment
Authority
and
and
they
do
single-family,
affordable
housing
and.
D
Very
excited
about
this
pilot
partnership
because
it
illustrates
well,
you
know
this
is
this
is
an
existing
program,
an
existing
entity.
That's
been
doing
work
for
a
long
time,
and
so
you
know
that
this
isn't
something
you
or
a
radical
departure
from
from
what
happens
now.
This
is
the
land
bank
complementing
an
existing
process
and
just
making
it
work
more
efficiently
for
this,
this
important,
affordable
housing.
T
Thanks
Sally
I'm
Justin,
Bolton
I'm,
the
manager
of
Housing
Development
for
Pittsburgh,
Housing,
Development,
Corporation
or
phdc,
as
Sally
had
mentioned,
we're
sort
of
a
sister
organization
to
the
Pittsburgh
land
bank.
We
are
another
affiliate,
founded
and
staffed
by
the
urban
Redevelopment
Authority,
with
our
own
independent
board
of
directors
working
towards
common
goals
and
Housing
Development
and
Rehab
throughout
our
city,
phdc
was
created
to
initiate
plan
Finance,
develop
and
manage
Housing
Development
throughout
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
T
I
I
see
a
lot
of
familiar
faces
on
the
call
today.
I
know
we
have
some
people
who
may
be
familiar
with
our
work
and
have
partnered
with
us
in
the
past,
but
for
those
who
are
new
to
the
phdc,
we'll
be
giving
a
overview
of
who
we
are
and
and
what
we've
kind
of
accomplished
to
date
and
how
this
relationship
we
see
playing
out
to
benefit
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
T
So
our
main
focus
is
on
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities
and
creating
the
ability
for
low
to
moderate
income,
families
and
individuals
who
have
made
face
barriers
to
obtaining
home
ownership,
providing
them
with
the
tools
and
resources
to
be
able
to
accomplish
becoming
homeowners
and
be
able
to
participate
in
the
accrual
of
generational
wealth
that
being
a
homeowner
allows.
For.
So
we
work
with
a
number
of
local
community
groups
to
advance
our
efforts.
T
So
knowing
that
not
every
neighborhood
throughout
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
serviced
by
a
Community
Development
Corporation
Pittsburgh,
Housing,
Development,
Corporation
kind
of
steps
in
to
fill
those
gaps
in
in
need.
Even
the
some
of
the
organisms
or
communities
that
are
serviced
by
cdc's.
Those
cdcs
are
ran
by
volunteer
staff,
and
so
we
bring
the
extra
kind
of
power
of
the
Ura
to
help
identify
goals
and
to
help
Advance
the
Visions
set
forth
by
those
community
members
around
the
field
of
Housing
Development.
T
Q
T
Want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
just
a
quick
overview
of
what
we've
accomplished
to
date
and
what
we're
currently
working
on.
So
we've
been
around
since
the
mid
1990s
we've
built
over
300
units
of
housing
throughout
35
City
neighborhoods.
We
have
a
130
contractor
Partnerships
with
local
contractors
throughout
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
including
everyone
from
larger
developers
to
small,
independently
owned
owner
Opera
operated
subcontractors.
We
have
71
units
in
the
pipeline.
T
A
majority
of
those
are
rehabs
of
existent
vacant
properties,
but
we
do
have
a
handful
of
new
construction
Urban
infill
projects
that
we're
also
working
on
to
help
complement
those
efforts
and
rebuild
the
Fabrics
and
missing
teeth
within
the
neighborhoods
that
we're
working
in
We've
invested
60
million
dollars
in
Pittsburgh,
with
8.1
million
in
current
projects
that
are
underway
right
now,
with
a
handful
of
others
to
come.
We
have
around
50
homes
in
our
pipeline
right
now.
For
this
coming
year,
75
of
our
cells
have
been
to
African-American
households.
T
72
percent
have
been
to
female
heads
of
households
and
90
of
all
of
our
work
has
been
sold
to
low
to
moderate
income
households
so
really
helping
to
bring
the
tool
of
homeownership
for
creation
of
generational
wealth
to
people
who
haven't
had
the
access
to
it.
In
the
past,
we've
been
really
happy
to
work
with
the
Pittsburgh
land
bank.
T
To
date,
we're
really
excited
about
the
collaboration
that
we've
been
able
to
have
and
really
see
this
as
a
symbiotic
relationship
that
will
equally
benefit
both
of
our
organizations
and
help
accomplish
some
common
goals
in
getting
dilapidated,
city-owned
properties
back
onto
the
tax
rolls
renovated
and
into
the
hands
of
load
a
moderate
income
buyers
as
home
ownership
opportunities.
So
with
that
I'll
stick
on
for
any
questions,
but
I
will
turn
over
the
rest
of
our
slides
to
Sally
and
Emily.
T
D
Thank
you
for
that
overview,
Justin,
and
so
we're
going
to
go
through
the
properties
that
that
we've
been
we've.
D
And
that
we're
looking
to
help
help
support,
so
we've
got
12
structures
that
are
all
currently
in
the
city's
inventory,
two
of
which
are
moving
along
a
pipeline
to
come
into
the
ura's
inventory,
but
that
we
will
still
likely
be
the
the
pass-through
so
that
we
can
help
support
the
stabilization.
D
Those
those
two
there
on
Shawnee
I
think
we
can
keep.
We've
got
some
pictures
here
clicking
yes,
so
here's
we're
going
to
click
through
a
few
pictures
of
of
what
these
residential
structures
look
like,
and
here's
a
really
great,
so
814
Lorenz
is
the
unique
one
of
the
bunch,
because
it's
not
just
residential.
It
is
a
mixed-use
commercial
storefront
currently
in
the
city's
inventory,
and
it.
D
Next,
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
talk
about.
We've
got
three
different
Community
Gardens
that
we
have
been
speaking
with
the
allocating
Land
Trust
concerning
the
transfer
and
I
think.
What's
really
unique
about
these
three
projects
is
that
they
are
all
in
neighborhoods
with
changing
markets
right
now,
so
you
can't
put
property
represent
retroactively
in
the
old
property
Reserve.
So
if
any
of
these
organizations
tried
to
buy
this
property
directly
from
the
city,
they
would
be
required
to
put
this
property
through
an
open
bidding
process
and.
T
D
Long-Standing
Community
Gardens
put
up
for
you,
know,
put
put
up
and
put
through
that
that
risk
so.
D
Here
to
the
land
bank
and
be
able
to
preserve
them
long-term
through
the
allocating
Land
Trust.
So
first
is
the
Hillcrest
Garden
in
Garfield
several
Parcels
there,
and
there
will
be
two
Ura
Parcels
that
would
be
involved
with
that
transfer
as
well.
D
And
then,
thirdly,
we
have
the
old
Allegheny
Garden
located
in
the
Mexican
War
streets.
You
know
also
a
long-standing
you
know.
Perhaps.
T
G
D
Located
city
property.
R
No
just
that
yeah,
these
are
all
really
important
spaces
for
growing
food
in
these
communities.
As
you've
mentioned
old,
Allegheny
Garden
has
been
there
for
a
long
time
in
regard
to
heel
Crest.
Those
Parcels
that
aren't
city
or
Ura
owned
have
already
been
secured
by
the
land
trust
we're
working
with
Bloomfield
Garfield
corporation
on
that
project
as
part
of
a
larger
vision
for
their
community
and
green
space
connectivity.
R
So
yeah
we're
just
really
excited
about
this
potential
Pathway
to
secure
these
green.
These
important
green
spaces
in
these
communities
thanks.
D
D
That
has
been
a
traditional
user
of
the
property
Reserve
that
we
have
been
working
with
is
the
community
lines
of
spring
garden
and
East,
deutschtown
and
casgad
is
looking,
has
several
different
projects,
ideas
their
needs
range
from
having
individual
residential
structures
that
simply
need
some
stabilization,
a
faster
disposition
process
to
be
able
to
sell.
D
D
D
B
D
Okay,
so
next
this
this
is.
D
Great
example
of
a
project
that
could
be,
you
know
we
are
just
so
close
to
coming
online
here
being
able
to
provide
some
essential
resources,
so
this
project
is
currently
moving
along
the
traditional
pipeline,
where
the
Ura
has
requested
this
property
from
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
The
parcels
are
currently
in
the
city's.
D
So
what
where
the
land
bank
could
play
a
role
here
in
in
such
a
a
Live
tech
project
is
that
we
would
be
able
to
clear
these
the
title
on
this
property
much
more
efficiently
and
provide
earlier
access
to
those
personals.
So
we
are
keeping
an
eye
on
this.
It
has
it
has.
We
have
there's
potential
for
us
to
play
a
role,
and
it
simply
depends
on
how
quickly
we
are
able
to
bring
our
services
online
in
the
coming
months.
D
But
I
do
look
forward
to
you,
know
start
or
future
projects
like
a
Live
tech,
development,
potentially
being.
I
D
And
so
here's
another
example
of
so
Charles
Street
area
Corporation
has
been
utilizing
the
treasure
sale
process.
You
know
they've
been
working
with
the
urban
Redevelopment
Authority
on
a
project
and
then
through
those
conversations
of
helping
them,
identify
additional
Parcels.
They
may
need
that
they
could
access
using
the
treasure,
sale
and.
D
They
alerted
us
to
a
a
structure
in
a
community
that
was
highly
visible,
that
is
adjacent
to
this
future
project
site,
and
so
we
were
able
to
we've
put
this
on
our
list
as
something
to
look
at
and
evaluate
include
in
our
pilot,
so
that
we
can
either
stabilize
and
repurpose
this
property.
D
B
D
And
you
can
see
kind
of
all
that
yellow
this
current
city,
owned
property
and
potential
sites
were
developed.
C
D
And
so
working
with
grounded
we've
we've
been
able
to
assist,
help
provide
information,
help
guide
some
residents
through
the
decision
of
where
it
is.
They
should
be
applying
to
purchase
side
lots
and
we
have
identified
a
couple
that
that
are
prime
candidates
for
a
pilot
pilot
sale
through
the
land
bank.
D
D
So
you
see
that
you
know
eight
listed
here
and
we're
looking
forward
to
potential
future
discussions
with
phfcc
regarding
their
future.
Choice
application
should
be
a
much
larger
site
assembly.
There
could
be
a
role
there
as
well
for
the
landing.
G
D
As
well,
so
we
had
to
remove
one.
We
are.
We
had
a
really
great
conversation
with
council
member
Warwick
who's
interested
in
this,
a
pilot
sales
project
to
identify
properties
in
the
city's
inventory
and.
B
D
Sale
to
sell
directly
to
residents-
and
we
had
found
one
property
to
look
into
to
see
if
that
could
be
a
good
fit
and
it
was
just
abolished
by
pli
about
a
week
or
two
ago.
So
it's
not
on
the
list
today,
but
I
did
want
to
mention
that
we
are
having
those
conversations
and
and
are
looking
forward
to
having
more
right
thanks.
So
much
Al
chairman
I'll,
send
it
back
to
you,
but
I
think
it
might
come
right
back
to
me
to
then
go
back
to
our
list
here
to
identify.
A
So
I
do
want
to
say
just
one
thing:
I've
been
having
conversations
with
community
people
and
I'm
sure.
Most
of
you
know
this
already,
but
I
want
to
share
with
you
why
there's
a
major
challenge
to
rebuilding
houses
in
in
land
in
African-American
communities.
There
are
a
lot
of
reasons
right,
but
one
of
the
things
is
this:
that
the
value
of
land
and
properties
in
affluent
communities
are
drastically
different
than
the
land
value
and
the
body
the
the
the
the
the
building
value
in
poor
communities.
A
So
in
poor
communities,
whenever
you
do
development,
you
have
something
called
The,
Gap
now
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
non-technical
way
of
thinking
about
it,
but
it's
helpful
in
an
affluent
Community
we're
going
to
use
Easy
numbers
just
so
you
understand
in
an
affluent
community,
if
you
say
build
a
house,
let's
make
it
easy.
You
build
a
house
if
you
build
a
house
and
you
buy
the
land
and
build
a
house
and
it
costs
you
a
hundred
dollars
the
day
that
it's
built.
That
house
is
worth
somewhere
between
110
and
120.
A
That
is
that
the
worth
of
the
house
will
be
more
the
day
you
build
it
than
the
day.
You
then
the
day
you
in
the
money
you
invest
in
it,
and
so
oftentimes
banks
will
give
you
most
of
the
money,
because
they
know
that
when
you
build
it,
the
property
will
be
worth
more
than
the
money
that
you
put
into
it.
A
The
reverse
is
true
in
poor
communities
in
poor
communities,
our
struggling
communities
or
communities
that
we
call
of
opportunity
when
you
put
the
same
house,
could
cause
the
same
amount
of
house
money
basically
to
build.
The
house
costs
a
little
bit
more
for
land,
but
when
you,
if,
when
you
build
the
house
and
buy
the
land,
it
will
still
cost
you
about
the
same
hundred
dollars.
The
difference
is
that
when
that
house
is
built,
that
house
is
now
worth
only
eighty
dollars.
A
That
is,
that
you
lose
money
in
building
houses
in
communities
where
the
market
is
not
at
so
the
difference
between
the
amount
of
money
that
you
want.
It
will
take
you
to
build
the
new
house
and
the
amount
of
money
it
is
worth
when
it's
done
is
often
called
the
the
gap
or
the
affordable
housing
guide,
and
that's
why
building
housing
or
rehabbing
housing
in
challenging
communities
is
so
difficult
is
because
you
cannot
get
enough
bank
money
to
fill
the
Gap
because
they
won't
they
won't
they
won't.
A
They
won't
lend
that
much
so
you
have
to
have
other
resources,
and
so
that's
always.
The
challenge
right
is
most
ways
we
build.
Houses
is
through
loans
and
through
bank
things,
and
so
then
you
need
government
subsidies
and
you
need
or
private
dollars
and
oftentimes.
You
have
to
layer
those
things.
So
that's
the
challenge.
It
is
not
impossible,
but
I
and
talking
to
some
people
who
I
thought
I
always
understood
that
concept.
A
They
rehab
it
in
many
cases,
and
so
that's
the
challenge,
and
so
with
that
I
will
stop,
and
so
the
land
bank
is
a
a
a
a
vehicle,
hopefully
to
help
reduce
the
cost
of
construction
in
some
cases,
so
that
we
pay
a
part
of
reducing
that
Gap
in
and
low
and
moderate,
with
low
and
modern
income,
and
particularly
African-American
communities.
I
will
stop
there.
That's
a
Layman
sort
of
conversation
about
it.
D
Thank
you
chairman,
so
I
have
I,
saw
a
few
new
names
pop
up
during
our
our
meeting
here.
So
I
was
going
to
start
with
our
our
newer
guests.
Sydney
Kennedy.
Are
you
still
here
with
us
today.
D
Oh
great
thanks
for
joining
us
and
if
you
missed
any
part
of
the
meeting,
it's
all
recorded
and
the
videos
go
up
on
the
city,
Channel,
okay,.
D
So
you
lost
Tiffany
David
Kerr.
D
Okay
and
Rico
Rucker.
U
U
I
So
I'm,
actually
here
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
the
land
banking
process
works.
There's
a
young
lady
by
the
name
of
Billy
who
does
the
home
buying
program,
and
she
made
everybody
aware
of
the
oxygen.
That's
actually
coming
up
with
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
see
how
we
can
kind
of
come
together
and
kind
of
prepare
the
community
and
engage
them
to
become
community
stakeholders
by
being
able
to
buy
properties
in
the
community.
D
Between
the
land
bank
and
treasure,
sale.
I
D
D
Let's
see
here
so
Barbara
Daniels.
Would
you
like
to
make
any
comments
here
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
D
Okay,
talk.
U
D
Oh,
yes,
sorry,
Barbara,
that's!
Okay!
Okay,
next
Billy
I
know
Billy.
You
said
you
had
some
had
comments.
E
Okay,
real
quick
just
to
follow
up
on
with
Mr
bird
just
said
right.
If
we
know
that
right
we
know
the
value
of
the
land
is
different
in
certain
communities.
If
that's
the
case,
why?
Why
does
the
land
trust
only
preserve
land
in
low-income
communities
where
the
equity
and
the
value
will
stop
at
a
certain
point
right,
because
the
owners
of
that
land,
whether
they
build
affordable
housing
on
it,
they
will
never
own
the
land,
and
we
know
that
most
of
the
value
and
the
equity
in
the
property
is
the
land.
E
So
the
land
trust
is
buying
property.
Why
aren't
they
doing
that
in
Squirrel,
Hill
and
Shadyside,
where
the
value
and
the
equity
is
so
high
that
we
can't
come
and
live
there?
Why
preserve
and
take
most
of
the
equity
out
of
the
low-income
communities?
Anything
you
said
it
yourself.
The
value
of
the
land
is
different
in
certain
communities.
E
So
why
are
we
using
a
land
bank
to
preserve
the
value
and
Equity,
just
in
low-income
communities,
where
the
residents
will
never
have
full
ownership,
that
land
will
still
be
owned
by
an
organization
that
is
Ran
by
A
majority
of
white
people?
For
when
and
then
another
thing,
Sally
is
all
those
properties
that
you
mentioned.
Are
those
properties
coming
through
the
treasure
cell,
with
Perry
Hilltop
I
wrote
down?
All
of
them
are
those
the
ones
that
are
coming
through
this
upcoming
treasure
sale.
So.
E
E
Is
this
for
the
upcoming
treasure
sale,
because
if
so,
that's
55
properties,
64.,
there's
only
64.!
So
if
55
are
coming
through
for
these
cdc's,
that's
fine!
What
you're
telling
us
is!
We
have
to
form
a
CDC
for
residents
to
be
able
to
be
good
end
users
to
get
this
property,
because
no,
it's
not
supporting
Community
developers
by
themselves.
So
if
we
have
to
form
a
cdco
organization,
that's
fine!
If
you
want
to
add
another
non-profit
and
put
Pittsburgh
ticket
property,
that's
fine!
We
could
do
that.
E
I
have
no
problem
with
that
I'm
actually
trying
to
work
with
you,
because
I
don't
want
to
teach
this.
If,
if
you
guys
are
using
this
treasure
sale
to
push
these
properties
55
properties
through
for
these
organizations,
because
then
you're
going
to
get
the
community
residence
I'm
teaching
bidding
and
outbidding
some
of
these
organizations
so
I'm
trying
to
work
with
you
guys
to
say
in
fact
I
won't
teach
it
for
this
treasure
sale,
because
I
am
in
full
support
of
all
these
organizations.
E
Although
phdc
that
80
AMA
is
very
high,
which
that
could
easily
gentrify
a
community
because
a
lot
of
us
don't
even
have
80
80
AMA
to
move
into
one
of
your
low-income
housing,
I,
don't
even
qualify
for
a
phdc
property.
So
if
we
need
to
create
a
non-profit
organization
that
will
help
residents,
get
a
property
from
the
organization
and
become
a
good
end,
user
will
do
that.
E
So
how
many
is
left
so
I'm
just
asking
so
I
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
want
to
be
doing
something,
that's
opposite
against
what
you
guys
are
doing.
It's
just
you
guys
are
not
supporting
individual
Community
investors
purchasing
property.
So
if
we
have
to
come
in
the
form
of
a
organization,
a
development,
another
rco
we'll
do
that.
D
E
E
Treasury
but
I
as
someone
who
supports
it,
I
don't
want
to
have
community
members
bidding
up
against
these
cdcs
because
I
am
in
support
of
them
getting
properties,
but
your
last
Land
Bank
meeting
you
said
there
was
28
that
were
coming
through.
So
if
there
was
something
that
showed
us
which
ones
are
for
them,
you
know
then
I
could
have
a
better
picture
of
just
not
having
people.
A
Bid
up
against
I
will
go
back,
call
Sally
directly
after
this
meeting's
over
at
any
point,
and
she
will
go
through
this
in
great
detail
with
you.
We.
E
D
And
let
me
jump
to
Nina
Higgin,
you
did
say
the
beginning.
You
would
have
official
comment
to.
P
Nina
yeah
I
had
several
questions
mostly
for
council
members
and
I
guess.
First
I'll
go
back
to
the
question
I
had
earlier.
You
mentioned
that
there
was
an
internal
briefing
on
this
tri-party
agreement
on
April
25th.
How
soon
can
we
expect
a
hearing
after
that
and
when
would
that
be
announced?
P
A
D
So
yeah
I
apologize,
I
think
we'll
have
to
keep
moving
along
and
we've
noted
the
question.
P
D
Yeah
I
apologize,
I
think
we'll
we'll
have
to
keep
comments
to
we're
not
able
to
respond
further
comments.
D
D
D
Speaker,
JD
Hill.
D
D
Okay,
Celeste
Taylor.
Would
you
like
to
give
further
comment.
F
I
know
this
sounds
very
much
like
what
Billy
is
talking
about.
It's
because
it's
something
that
many
residents
are
interested
in
learning
how
to
navigate
and
I
do
see
the
competition
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
healthy
or
not,
but
all
I
know
is
whatever
mechanisms
there
are
I
think
it
needs
to
be
very
clear
how
best
people,
how
residents
are
able
to
access.
F
D
H
J
No
I
just
appreciate
the
presentation
and
information,
and
it
would
be
good
if
I
think
someone
said
it
if
you
could
make
transparent
the
answers
to
the
questions
that
the
public
had
for
the
council.
Thank
you.
D
Okay,
Charlie
Ellison.
M
I'd
like
to
thank
you
all
for
all
the
information
and
I
look
forward
to
you
attending
the
Knox
watch
meeting
so
that
we
can
get
some
answers
to
our
questions.
Thank
you.
D
O
Yes,
I,
don't
have
any
final
comments.
I
learned
quite
a
bit
today,
but
I'm
interested
in
learning
more
about
the
process
and
the
end
results
for
the
community.
Thanks.
L
Yes,
I'm
sorry,
I
couldn't
get
my
screen
up,
but
yeah
I
was
just
wanted
to
piggyback
off
of
what
Billy
said.
I
was
just
looking
for
some
transparency
and
and
to
understand
how
we
is
like
lifetime.
Community
residents
will
get
our
hand
on
some
of
this
land
and
some
of
these
projects
to
where
we're
not
cut
out
to
where
we
can
gain
generational
wealth
for
our
families
as
well,
instead
of
just
you
guys,
just
giving
all
this
stuff
to
the
organization.
So
if
y'all
can
make
that
crystal
clear
that
that's
what
we're
interested
in.
D
Absolutely
thanks
for
your
comment
for
me:
I
have
a
Flora.
G
D
Okay,
I
do
believe
that
is,
that
is
exhausted.
