And welcome to the standard committee meeting on Wednesday, December twenty second, two thousand twenty-five.

Mr.

Charlotte.

Mr.

Cockle.

Miss Gross.

Mr.

Laval.

Here.

Mr.

Mosley.

Here.

This is Cal Smith.

Yes.

Here.

Five members present.

Thank you very much.

Our next order of business is public comment.

I would like to mind everyone the rules of Council State.

They comments are limited some matters of Cassidy official action or deliberation, which may be for City Council profanity would not be permitted.

After you were called, please restate your name, provide your neighborhood for the record.

You'll be given three minutes to speak.

Our first registered speaker is Dr.

Ronald Lynn Miller.

United States, 2028.

Global Information Intelligence Network.net.

Housing is a concern of City Council.

Houseless, homeless, does not equal less intelligent.

Does not equal less well informed.

One plus one is two for Elon Musk.

One plus one is two for all the rest of us.

One plus one equals two is not more true because EM says so.

It is not less true because a person who is homeless or jobless says so.

Information, verified facts, um, is valid regardless of the race, ethnicity, gender, or wealth of the informer.

Shared information is in my view at the core of equity or equality.

Now do you, counselor and mayor, um office claimants, all Democratic Party, really believe in DEI equity?

You favor, and I think wrongly, I think it's anti-diversity, anti-inclusion, and anti-constitution, the religions of Christianity and Judaism in your office, oath-taking ceremonies by inviting ministers, priests of the Christian religion, and rabbis of the religion of Judaism to participate.

You will do so as you have done for all the time that I've ever come to these meetings in January 2026.

The probability I think is way over 0.9.

In doing so, you call attention to Yeshua the Jew, Yeshua the homeless, Yeshua the jobless, Yeshua from Nazareth, whose Jewish followers believe that he fulfilled the messianic expectation of classic Judaism, the Christ.

Yeshua who said that the have nots, the praise would inherit the earth.

What would your Jesus that you will call in here directly and indirectly?

Jesus the Jew do about inequity in our neighborhoods or between our neighborhoods.

I think he would declare it iniquitous.

Dare you, all of us, to tax the haves in our city to help the have nots in our neighborhoods.

Thank you.

Our next registered speaker is Ikahana Hamakina.

He is not online.

So that exhausts our list of registered speakers.

If there's anyone in chambers wishing to speak, please come forward at this time.

Is there anyone in chambers wishing to speak?

Is there anyone in chambers?

If not, we'll move on to our standing committee agenda beginning with the first committee, which is finance of law, which is chaired by Councilman Strasberger.

Our one supplemental paper is Bill 2678.

Resolution authorizing the issuance of a warrant payable in favor of the era mark sports and entertainment for costs associated with the leaders convening recognition of operational performance excellence luncheon in an amount not to exceed $5,764.

Second, uh discussion?

Yeah.

Council Wilson.

Just interrupting.

Do you know what this is about?

I actually do not.

I can win.

Sorry, I was trying to navigate to but I know that there are folks in the chambers who can speak to this, but it was um Yes.

Thank you.

Okay.

Patrick Cornell, Chief Financial Officer.

Um, so this is a warrant.

Um the administration held a recognition luncheon for over 150 staff members who um had been working on process improvement things with Pittsburgh Futures that you know we've been up to the table um over the past few years about this.

Uh so this was a recognition luncheon, and the reason we're coming up with a warrant, uh the original quote was less than five thousand dollars, but the final price was over five thousand dollars.

Uh so it needed a legal form of procurement.

All right, thanks.

Actually, let me ask more, sorry.

The original how much how much um this is through a grant, right?

Initially, with it with the leadership stuff.

What for originally the first year of Pittsburgh Futures was covered by a grant um for the subsequent three years that was adopted in the general fund operating budget for OMB, um, and then this luncheon was put on by OMB IMP, the mayor's office, separate from that particular agreement.

Um but we you know we had the mayor's office has the fund, had the funds to support it.

All right, thanks.

Council McGross.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I was like trying to have two conversations at once.

So I kind of just missed that.

So the first year was under a grant.

Correct.

And then what uh budget line does the luncheon was it's supposed to have been paid out when it was supposed to be under five thousand dollars.

It would have been paid from the same place.

Which was office supplies, which is where catering usually hits.

Office supplies under operational supplies mayor's office, which is where catering hits across all departments.

Yeah.

So I just want to note that we reduced in our flurry of line item reductions, like uh budget line.

I think it was uh in IMP actually for like going to conferences and going to meetings and those kinds of things.

So it just really catches my eye that this is the kind of thing that like we you know, we need a little belt tightening.

And it's not that I God knows I wouldn't want to manage an organizational chart of three thousand six hundred employees, right?

So I understand that these are not this is this is a a good thing to do.

It's it's the kind of thing other organizations do.

Um, but it really just does catch the eye that it was uh, you know, these things, these costs add up.

So that's all duly noted.

Thank you.

I just um I don't know if you're coming back to the table at all for any bills here.

Um as far as this is concerned, I saw this on TV, it was televised.

I think a lot of the employees appreciated it, and we don't do a lot to appreciate our employees.

Um we try our best.

So I'm not I have nothing nothing about this.

Um I think it would have been great if it was like happening every you know, an annual thing.

So um but I do want to say to you, um I don't know what the future holds for you.

I know I'm retiring, I won't be here.

So I just want to say I wish you well in the future.

You I I want to say this very publicly.

You know, you had the budget that came forward and you know, it's getting a lot of criticism, but the reality is we work for the people that we work for, and your job is to do what you're told to do and to make create what you need to create.

And I just want to say I think that you have a brilliant mind, and I'm thankful for the times I did get to work with you.

And I hope you land in a great place.

I hope somebody appreciates you for the what you actually can bring to the table.

That's all I say.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I've got two more bills today.

So not quite my final.

I'm not saying it again, okay?

Pardon.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Firms of recommendation.

Cool.

May I just acknowledge 2653?

Yes.

Okay.

So I'm I'm sorry, I I just wasn't fast enough.

I just want to reemphasize we've been mentioning um the water bill a lot, and I'm just gonna say one more time here and one more session that for over a hundred years our water bill was zero.

Zero.

Absolutely zero.

And um again, you can thank the state legislature for putting control of our water rates and our municipal water authority, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, which is now goes by Pittsburgh Water under the regulatory powers of the Pennsylvania Utility Commission, which is there to regulate privately owned utilities.

Um and they and used to roll funds over, so this allows us to get the funds where they need to be.

Okay, that's great that in our water bill.

Right, and so keep our parts open to really chime in in sentiments for you by my neighbor.

But um, you know, Patrick, yeah, you've been a gentleman throughout.

Um you've handled yourself extremely professionally.

Um we're gonna miss you here.

But I think you built a pretty nice resume in the short time that you were in the position you were in.

So I'm not worried about your future, but may it be bright, and I wish you all the best.

Councilman Charlotte.

We're gonna add a glowing uh remark.

Not all the time in the world, so I'll take it out too.

My family owns an accounting firm.

I can connect to that.

Well one of uh I I don't know that I've ever ever said this to you, but one of my favorite things that you you did uh during the pandemic, you were participating in citiz uh citizen, what do we call that?

Citizens Leadership Academy.

Um there's a there's a phenomenal video there that I still send to staff when they start working for us um of kind of how the budget works.

Um really great explanation of how this process is supposed to go, and um I've you know it helped me in in that time kind of understand how how budgeting, how how the how to read the budget, what's going on here, um, and you know, it'll last the the test of time, and I just thank you for you know for that.

And I I just really have appreciated over the years.

I I've brought a lot of really what probably are really crazy questions to you that you have always uh answered with grace and with patience um as we we're all kind of learning how things work here and um so not just for your role as uh you know your role your your actual job but also as a teacher to to many that have come through here and just want to thank you for all the work that you've done here and um I've always appreciated working with you.

Thank you.

Further discussion.

Councilman Mosley.

Yes, in the spirit of uh what all my colleagues have said, you know, I I would feel like I'd be you know the odd personnel without giving you your props has been really you know a pleasure to work with you over the these last two years, you know, wish you the best, I hope.

You know, um to not only run into you in this building again, but you know, running to you at a at a 5k or a 10K uh or maybe even an Orioles or a Ravens game, we'll probably be chairing for different teams um at a Ravens or Orioles game, but you know, just mad props for you know everything that you you know brought to the city and you know the best of luck moving forward.

Thank you.

Wilson channel in.

I know we've uh uh spoken previous this meeting about essentially what everyone else is saying, but just saying in public thank you for your service and wish you all the best.

I will echo all my colleagues' sentiments.

It's been a pleasure to work with you.

You've been nothing but the utmost professional.

Um so thank you for your service to the city.

Thank you.

Mr.

President, I'll just say uh Patrick knows Chief Cornell knows um exactly how I feel about the job he's done.

It's all glowing, and I just we've been texting this morning, but just to daylight that I share my my um more than share everything that um that my council colleagues have said this morning.

So Chief Cornell, thank you for all of your work your entire time at the city, not just in these last few years where we've shared many meetings over the joint financial task force and all the difficult work that you've had to do, but um throughout your entire tenure at the city.

It really is appreciated.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

Any further discussion?

If not, all those in favor say aye.

Aye, aye.

Aye.

Any opposed, affirmative recommendation.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Chief Cornell.

You like me on that?

So that takes us to 2667.

Section 23703.

Establishment of the Stop the Violence Fund to institute a pause in the fund schedule for budget year 2026.

And resuming the fund schedule in 2027.

May you have a motion to approve?

So move.

Second.

So this is actually pretty simple.

In the initial, there's an amendment in front of members.

In the initial legislation, we struck out all of 2026.

However, in our budget cycle, we transferred five million.

This reflects that actual transfer.

So if you'd be willing to make an amendment by substitution, councilwoman.

Um second.

All those in favor say aye.

Right.

One no.

Uh the bill has been amended.

Councilman Mosley was to know.

Okay.

Oh, do you see that?

Okay.

Um any further discussion?

Seeing none.

I'm just curious.

Isn't it Michelle?

I'll ask you later.

Okay.

Thank you.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Council Mosley.

Oh one.

One opposed?

One opposition.

Affirmative recommendation.

That moves us to our invoices.

Uh the motion to do we have invoices?

I don't think we do.

No.

Yeah.

So that skip skip.

That takes us to P Cards.

Need a motion to approve the P cards.

So moved.

Second.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

P CARS have been approved.

That takes us to public safety and wellness committee, which is shared by Councilman Carkhill.

One new paper bill 2646.

Resolution authorizing the mayor and the director of public safety to enter into an agreement or agreements with five organizations to act and stop the violence community anchor institutions at a total cost not to exceed $2,628,700 and 40 cents over three years.

Motion to approve.

Any discussion?

Yeah, some questions.

Discussion, Councilman Wilson.

This is the anchor.

Yes.

I'm at a table.

If you two fine gentlemen would be willing to introduce yourselves for the record.

Good afternoon, David Jones, Assistant Director of Public Safety for the City of Pittsburgh.

Good afternoon, Dr.

Solomon Armstead.

Okay, thank you.

Can you just give us an overview of what we're looking at here?

Sorry?

Um so we went through five, we went through 19 applications and selected um five organizations for five zones with the opportunity to be a anchor organization for our stop the violence to help build our ecosystem.

So these are the individuals after scoring and evaluation.

Um these are the individuals selected.

The only thing that I would add is that uh there was no one selected in zone one, um, but we are relaunching to give those in zone one an opportunity to be able to apply for this as well.

Additionally, uh collectively scores that these organizations would be the best in your CIC zones to help uh build out the smaller nonprofit organizations again to help stop the balance council.

Yes, sir.

This contract is for Pittsburgh over three years, and um the funding that we so my understanding is that we're hiring or contracting with these anchor institutions so that they work with the other organizations in correct that were currently funding correct.

But um the one question I had about that was you know how long is that funding happening for those small organizations?

Those micro grants or for the year.

Okay.

So what happens after that?

Then they have to reapply, and then we do go through the selection process again.

So those individuals become contractors because we are no longer issuing grants.

Um those injuries, they will have an opportunity um to do work for the city as contractors violence prevention space.

Okay.

So moving from a grant to a contract, will these anchor organizations help them understand how they would absolutely correct?

Okay, and then what is the um yeah?

So we we we talked about that, councilman, and and I don't know, and we didn't ask anyone that was close to zone one to do that.

So that for right now, zone one doesn't have a a specific person to help them right now.

Okay.

But the goal is when we rebid, as you just mentioned that someone will step up and we we'll be able to uh award them the grant as well.

So what what else will the organization be doing other than working with them to go from a grant to a contract?

So part of what they're you know, there'll be tasks to do is um to look at what we we call um tertiary violence, um violence that comes in in different forms.

So there is prevention, um, which is further upstream, um, to work with families, um, these organizations that work with the families.

Um before uh a youth or a child picks up a gun, they'll be already working in intervention space with these organizations to help them build their capacity.

Some of it is data sets, some of them don't have the technology to be able to um to look at what's going on uh in the spaces.

Um a lot of it is connectivity.

Um a lot of the organizations offer wonderful programming, excellent programming, um, but they don't know that it's out there.

So part of the anchor organization is to um to walk lock and step with the community to be able to give them the information so that they have it, but not only that, they provide space.

Um, they provide resources.

Um, and so it's not just the meeting space, but it allows them to be able to build their capacity, but work with families directly um as these organizations have spaces to move and to operate with families.

For example, I think one of the things um Sister Mary had brought to the table is that she started working with families, um, young couples, um, some who were battling the disease of addiction, um, but they started working with these families who have young kids who've never um, you know, some of them have entered into agreements as a result of domestic violence, and but they didn't have any anyone teaching them how to get along.

And so in collaboration with the courts, they started having spaces at the church around the corner with uh such a Mary orchestrated for these families and young couples to be able to work through their differences, and we believe that that's when we talk about further upstream.

That's what it looks like when you're saying before this child is actually exposed um to the you know these arguments and these disputes between his mother and father potentially um we can start already working with this family, and that's the further upstream, and so creating space for that to happen and allowing uh people who work in the mental health space to meet with people who work in child welfare space and people who work in, so all of these folks um don't talk across the aisles, but we we found that anchor organizations can be the intersection.

Another uh example of that is councilman is some of the since we have a relationship with Pittsburgh Public Schools with our safe passage program, we will also be able to get into some of our elementary schools.

We know that's where things kind of start, and if we can get there when we get there to be able to deal with the families, not just the students.

The data also proves that some of the kids that are getting off track, that happens at that space.

And so we can get with them there, and that can also help us kind of get ahead and again is getting upstream as Dr.

Armstead stated.

Yeah, thanks.

Will the funding be used uh to support staff, create new staff, so um buy supplies?

What what what would so primarily um for the staff?

Um there will be opportunity for them to be able to hire staff to do this work.

Our expectation is not that an organization who receives the fund their organization primarily off these funds.

Um it is hiring a person, you know, to be able to do the work, whether it's part-time or full-time um person to be able to execute this work, and so whether it be that is the campaigning of what to stop the violence, um, this this collaboration and this convening looks like, uh, whether it is um to incorporate the technology that they need, whether it is to help the smaller organizations to be able to build capacity, so all of those tenants have to do with how they're gonna execute use of this fund.

It's important to have the conveners there in said communities that know uh they already talked, they already worked together, but to make that intentional would also be very, very beneficial to beneficial to this effort.

Thanks.

Thank you, Councilwoman Smith.

Thank you.

I just you keep referring to Sister Mary, which sister, not my sister, Mary in district two.

Okay, so I I just want to say she also does some an amazing.

First of all, I want to say she does a 12-week program that was written by Reverend Burgess, and he does great work.

And that program includes um she brings the parents in for a 12-week course.

The first program she has, uh police come in and tell them what to look for, parents what to look for, or your caregivers what to look for if the kids are getting into trouble.

Um the second one is social workers what to do if your kid is getting into trouble and how to prevent some of that and how to how to interact or whatever.

And the next one is I mean, she does 12, but one of them is where she has a frank conversation with the parents and saying what their responsibilities are.

And so I think she does a really good job, and she just did a big event done at the convention center for over uh 500 families.

And um, and so I mean she does a lot of tremendous work, but she's not the one listed here.

It's hope for tomorrow that's listed here.

Right.

And so I do want to, but I want to say Keisha Gomez also does a great program with Hope for Tomorrow, her daughter interned in her office for a little bit, but they do amazing work too.

But they have the kids directly come in.

So there's difference in what they what they offer.

Right.

The the advantage, um, if I may, the advantage um if the organizations who have the capacity to be able to work, um Sister Mary does wonderful work, especially in the lane that she's in.

Yeah, very good indirect service, especially with hands-on.

Um when I've been over there training on de-escalation with some of the families, one of the things that uh she noted was that um she's beginning to uh reach out to those same organizations to be able to work with, and what they'll be able to do is help her uh her build her own capacity because um a lot of what she she's been utilizing, the reach team and others, she has a lot of sweat equity.

I mean, a number of folks um, you know, the moment you meet her, you are an employee of hers for life.

And so, you know, we've been able to help, you know, those families reach, but she also with the food and security and helping with the food bank and things like that.

I mean, we've been over there um working directly with her, but hooking those two up with the anchor organization and allowing her to be able to say, hey, um, this is what I need.

This these are the folks I need to talk to, whether it was when she was struggling with um the 501c3, having the um the 501c the lawyer come in and be able to talk, those are things that the anchor organization will be able to help her work through.

She won't have to feel alone in those in that those barriers that sometimes she faces.

And by continuing to give these organizations money, it helps her break down the silos because for years, and you know this councilwoman, that they have fought for the same pot of money.

So giving those uh organizations their own money, it just makes communication and things a little bit easier.

And I think that um for her, her and her volunteers are they're they're all volunteers, over 60 years old, and they've all volunteer.

I mean, they don't get paid to do this, they do it because they really care.

I mean, their dedication is unmatched.

I mean, it's unbelievable.

But for Hope for Tomorrow, I also think they have a tremendous amount of kids.

I remember when she first started, it was only a few kids.

Now I think there's almost nearly a hundred kids they that and you can go in and see, they're there.

The kids are there.

It's not like I see some people getting funding, and people say to me they're not doing the program.

I know when my people in my district are doing programs and when they're not.

Keisha Gomez and Sister Mary do tremendous work and uh and a lot of work with both adults and kids.

Um but I do think she had some issues with capacity building because you know Sister Mary got funding.

She did get funding from Stop the Violence, but it's on a reimbursement basis.

She doesn't have $50,000 sitting around to be reimbursed with.

So I think it would be great if foundations actually you know worked with us and funded people like her who are actually doing the work on the streets instead of what they think is popular politically expedient or whatever.

I think they need to um understand what people are really doing in the neighborhoods, and she's really working it very hard in the neighborhood.

And so and so is Keisha.

So I just want to say thank you for the work on this one.

And um Director Jones, I'm sorry about your dad.

I I want to make sure I mentioned that too.

Um last I do want to thank Jonathan Alexander because he's helped a lot of these organizations, including Christopher Ralph and Antoinette, who do a lot of work in our district too, uh, with the boxing program and an art program component with it.

Um he's helped them all become you know, he helped them with their 51c3 status for free.

He's an accountant, you know, he works for the county, he's a CPA and does all kinds of stuff, but he's takes the time and does this, you know, volunteers to help a lot of our organizations build their capacity.

So I want to make sure I acknowledge him.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for your work.

Thank you.

Councilwoman Warworth.

Um Yeah, thank you.

So I just wanted to um because in um in my district, you know, it's a very small footprint that we're talking about.

And um there really are two main organizations that support kids, and then maybe a total of like four that that do adults and kids, you know.

Um so uh my concern is that there's gonna, you know, there's gonna be some there's gonna be some concerns about why you know what I mean, or like why this one is like how how is this one the one that's guiding the other at any rate?

I um so what I would ask is um if we could have a meeting in in the community with the org like to bring everyone together to make it abundantly clear, like so.

You know, if if if center of life is doing this work, how does that what is that?

How does it look and how is that gonna happen?

Right understand.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.
