A
The
city
clerk
is
the
record
keeper
for
all
of
the
legislative
documents
and
many
other
business
processes
that
take
place
in
the
city
and
in
that
regard,
we
track
legislation
that
the
elected
officials
present
and
legislation
that
comes
from
the
administration
from
the
time
it's
introduced
throughout
very
various
processes,
public
hearings
and
referrals
to
the
Planning
Commission,
and
so
we
use
a
very
sophisticated
database.
Today
we
are
very
blessed
to
have
new
software
and
we
also
have
video
streaming
so
that,
in
addition
to
the
cable
bureau,
all
of
our
meetings
are
available.
A
24
7,
so
the
city
clerk
is,
as
I
mentioned,
the
record
keeper,
and
we
have
many
different
references
that
we
need
to
incorporate
in
our
day-to-day
work.
For
example,
the
home
rule
charter
is
what
dictates
how
our
government
is
structured?
How
council
was
elected?
What
happens
if
there's
a
vacancy
the
types
of
legislation
that
specifically
require
public
hearings?
In
addition
to
the
home
rule
charter?
We
have
the
roles
of
council
and
the
rules
of
pounce
will
dictate
the
day-to-day
operations
here
in
Council.
A
How
motions
are
made,
how
committees
are
structured
and
how
the
council
itself
is
structured,
and
so
we
use
these
documents
to
assist
the
council
in
their
day-to-day
operations.
It
talks
about
the
standing
committee
meetings,
the
regular
meetings
and
the
voting.
So
you
know
we
have
many
roles,
we're
also
the
meeting
schedulers
for
counsel
for
the
body
council
members
obviously
have
meetings
in
their
districts
throughout
the
day,
the
days
and
the
weeks,
but
we
schedule
the
public
hearings
and
the
briefings
post
agendas
that
sort
of
thing
I.
B
Know
that
there's
a
lot
of
history
in
this
room
that
we're
in
right
now,
the
council
chamber
and
in
the
entire
city,
clerk's
office
and
City
Council
area,
including
the
vault
restoration
preservation,
is
one
of
the
things
that's
near
and
dear
to
your
heart.
Do
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
I'd.
A
Love
to
talk
about
the
council
chambers,
it's
a
beautiful
room
that
was
built
actually
for
the
city's,
a
100th
anniversary.
This
building
was
built
between
19
15
and
19
17,
and
if
you
look
around
the
Chamber's,
it's
very
indicative
of
the
era,
there
are
industrial
tools
built
throughout
the
walls
and
the
doors,
the
city
seal,
all
of
the
furniture
and
the
woodwork
in
here
is
original
to
when
the
room
was
built
and
it
is
made
of
inlaid
wood,
which
means
that
each
piece
is
its
own
puzzle.
It's
a
beautiful
room.
A
We
have
spent
some
time
restoring
it.
In
the
last
decade,
we've
undergone
restoration
of
the
historic
benches
and
the
chairs
that
are
in
here
and
so
we're
working
to
actually
reduce
some
of
the
walls
and
the
painting
of
the
inlaid
gold
on
the
ceilings
in
this
room.
All
of
the
mayor's
that
have
served
the
city
or
their
terms
of
office
are
painted
on
the
ceiling.
All
of
the
burrows
that
were
originally
annexed
into
the
city
are
also
painted
in
the
circles
on
the
room,
so
this
room
is
very
historical
and
right
outside
of
the
Chamber's.
A
We
have
the
vote.
It's
a
fireproof
vault
which
houses
all
of
the
original
records
that
the
city
currently
houses
here,
and
it
includes
the
resolutions
and
the
ordinances
dating
back
to
the
1800s
and,
more
importantly,
it
includes
the
handwritten
minute
books,
the
Select
and
Common
Council
minute
books
that
date
back
to
1816
and
we're
celebrating
the
city's
Bicentennial
this
year.
And
so
what
a
great
time
to
highlight
the
the
records
that
are
available
in
this
city
and
in
coordination
with
the
city's
Bicentennial.
A
So
we
are
at
the
very
beginning
phases
of
writing
an
archive
plan
for
the
city
and
bringing
on
an
archivist
here
in
the
clerk's
office,
and
we
will
have
an
archivist
and
the
preservationist
on
the
Commission
on
city
archives.
We
are
going
to
be
undergoing
a
major
inventory
of
city
records
throughout
throughout
Pittsburgh,
so
it's
a
huge
undertaking.
It's
going
to
involve
city
employees
and
and
exports
were
developing
partnerships
with
the
archive
community.
So
that's
kind
of
what
the
clerk's
office
does.
A
A
Would
be
perfectly
honest,
I
didn't
necessarily
choose
a
career
in
government.
I
stumbled
on
it,
I
went
to
sacred
heart.
High
school
and
I
took
a
lot
of
business
courses
typing
and
shorthand.
That
was
a
very
common
career
path
for
a
woman
in
my
era
and
the
opportunity
came
up
for
a
need
for
a
clerical
specialist
with
shorthand
and
back
in
the
day.
I
did
take
a
lot
of
shorthand,
for
you
know,
then,
president
of
council,
Jeep
DiPasquale,
Michelle
Matt
often
other
figures.
A
So
that's
how
I
came
on
board,
but
I
developed
a
love
for
the
position.
It
was
very
exciting.
The
media
was
here,
the
government
was
making
laws
and
my
career
path
took
off.
I
received
an
opportunity
to
become
the
administrative
assistant,
so
I
did
a
lot
more
writing
proclamations.
I
attended
the
meetings
and
it
was
a
very
exciting
job
and
at
that
point
I
decided
to
take
some
courses,
a
community
college
which
I
did
end
up
with
an
associate
degree.
A
But
my
career
path
was
going
even
farther
and
when
my
predecessor,
john
maschio,
left
to
become
the
first-ever
clerk
for
the
county
council,
I
received
the
opportunity,
become
the
deputy
clerk
I'd
like
to
say
being
here
for
36
years,
I've
had
the
great
privilege
of
working
for
so
many
different
elected
officials
and
even
under
six
different
mayor's
I
came
in
with
dick
heller
Jory
and
he
was
followed
by
our
first
ever
female
mayor,
Sophie,
Maslov
and
sophie
was
followed
by
Tom
Murphy.
He
served
for
12
years.
A
He
was
then
followed
by
Bob
O'connor,
my
beloved
friend
God
rest,
his
soul
and
followed
by
Luke
Ravenstahl,
and
then
our
current
mayor,
william
Peduto.
So
I've
worked
under
six
different
mayors
and
at
least
11
presidents
of
council
dating
back
to
Jeep,
DiPasquale
and
I
could
even
name
them
all:
cheap
and
Sophie
ben
woods,
Jack
Wagner,
Jim,
Farlow,
Bob,
O'connor,
Jean,
ricciardi,
Luke,
Ravenstahl,
Doug
shields,
Darlene,
Harris
and
now
Bruce
Krause.
So
it's
been
an
amazing
experience,
I
call
it
the
rolly
coaster
ride.
A
B
A
I
believe
that
it's
a
great
honor
to
be
the
city
clerk
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
there
are
certain
qualities
that
I
think
a
leader
needs
to
present
when
they're
working
with
people
and,
first
and
foremost,
you
need
to
lead
by
example,
and
I
recently
heard
a
director
come
to
the
council
table
and
say
that
he
would
not
ask
employees
to
do
anything.
He
wouldn't
do
himself
and
I
feel
very
strongly
about
that.
A
My
career
path
has
not
been
without
struggling
inequalities
and
that's.
Okay
times
have
changed,
and
you
know
I
accept
my
career
path
and
it's
been
a
great
privilege,
I
think,
as
a
female
female
leaders
tend
to
be
a
little
more
compassionate
than
maybe
their
male
counterparts,
but
I
believe
you
also
need
to
be
strong
and
I.
Think
I
bring
both
of
those
qualities
to
my
position.
A
I
think
I'm
not
afraid
to
accept
constructive
criticism
and
to
listen
to
the
employees
that
you
work
with
and
in
that
regard,
the
City
Clerk's
office
has
a
very
small
staff
and
we
are
a
team
and
without
qualified
dedicated
employees
we
couldn't
get
the
work
done.
The
employees
are
the
ones
that
are
doing
the
day-to-day
work.
You
know
generating
the
legislation
and
the
minutes
and
the
video
streaming
and
greeting
our
guests
and
taking
care
of
the
day-to-day
business.
A
B
A
Absolutely
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
my
predecessor,
Linda
Johnson,
Mossler,
Linda
and
I
worked
together
for
34
years.
We
started
around
the
same
time.
She
became
the
deputy
clerk
and
then
the
city,
clerk
and
I
was
privileged
to
become
her
deputy
clerk
about
12
years
ago.
Linda
and
I
have
very
opposite
personalities.
Linda
is
very
calm
and
she
was
a
woman
of
tradition.
I,
on
the
other
hand,
tend
to
be
very
high.
A
Energy
I,
look
for
change
and
I
embrace
change,
so
we're
very
different,
but
we
we
just
got
along
very
well
and
Linda
is
very
calm
and
people
really
admire
Linda's
she's,
a
woman
of
grace-
and
I
say
this-
I
am
very
different
in
that
I'm
high
energy
and
I
sometimes
p
push
people's
buttons,
but
that's
who
I
am
I
wish
I
could
be
a
little
calmer
and
I
often
rely
on
Linda
for
her
advice.
Even
today.
A
So
that's
been
a
great
privilege
and
now
I
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
deputy
clerk
kimberly-clark
Baskin,
and
she
also
is
quiet
and
calm,
and
so
I
guess
we'll
bring
balance
to
the
position,
and
I
look
forward
to
mentoring,
kim
and
other
staff
members,
because
you
need
to
share
the
knowledge
with
others
so
that
they
can
carry
on
the
torch,
the
other
mentor
in
my
life.
It
should
be
so
obvious,
as
my
mother,
the
wearing
duhaney,
she
was
the
hub
of
our
entire
family.
My
mother
was
always
involved
in
activities.
A
She
was
in
the
middle
of
everything
she
organized
graduation
parties
and
weddings
and
funerals,
and
she
was
never
afraid
to
put
herself
out
there.
She
was
very
good
in
the
kitchen
and
I'm
actually
good
in
the
kitchen
too,
and
what
we
learned
at
home
is
who
we
become
and
again
because
my
mother
was
so
active
and
involved
I'm
that
way,
I'm
always
in
the
middle
of
activity.
So
my
mother
had
seven
children
in
nine
years.
A
A
Suggest
that
people
get
involved
that
they
find
something
they're
passionate
about
and
go
with
it
I
know
that
I've
been
very
active
in
my
community
and
I.
Think
it's
been
invaluable
in,
in
my
life
experience
and
here
at
work
to
get
involved
to
come
to
a
council
meeting
or
a
school
board
meeting
and
to
speak
out.
If
you
feel
strongly
about
something
gear,
your
education
or
your
personal
life
towards
that
passion.
