The agenda agenda has been amended.

Our next order of business is proclamations.

We have one to be read into the record.

Councilperson Charlotte presents.

Second.

All those in favor say aye.

Any opposed?

Proclamation has been approved.

Our next order of business is public comment.

I would like to remind everyone that the rules of council of state, the comments are limited to matters of concern.

Official action or deliberation, which may be before city council, profanity will not be permitted.

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

The Bluff, Pittsburgh, USA.

Estonia UN email.

Vallin neighborhood is in the PCNN.

Pittsburgh City Neighborhood Network and the World Neighborhood Network, which I founded.

Representing the Global Intelligence Society, Initiative Five Neighborhoods, PC focused for today.

Now governance strategy.

Office of Pittsburgh Council.

Say that many times.

CGSII, Center for Global Studies, International Interdisciplinary, Dr.

Ronald and Miller, founder director.

We can, we must always do better.

Initiatives 1 through 7 now and through 2028.

How?

Here is one way to do better.

Mayor Claymant, Pittsburgh Citizens, Council Claimants, read and study the Pittsburgh Homeworld Charter, the Pittsburgh City Ethics Handbook, the Pittsburgh City Council Rules of Council.

This is why the I and the CGSII are distributing the PHRC, PCEN, PCC ROC citywide for distribution.

And we identify myself and the CGSII as the providers of those texts because you do not.

And because the probability is that you will not, greater than.99.

Citizens, a key to restoral of USA Republican democracy of the people by the people and for the people is a dramatic increase in micro-local control of governance, not a draconian increase in macro national control.

And so more of the neighborhood by the neighborhood and for the neighborhood.

Is your neighborhood uh your home?

And if you think so, um, with your neighbors, you have the right to uh rule uh your own neighborhoods, given the HRC.

There is no impediment, no legal impediment that we can find in the Homeworld Charter.

That's this thing right here.

Read it, that allows or disallows that to happen.

Thank you.

Our next speaker is Alyssa Grishman.

Hi, can you hear me?

Yes, we can.

Okay, I'm gonna try to make this short and sweet.

Hi, my name is Alisa Grishman.

I live in Uptown.

I use a wheelchair, and I haven't been able to leave my house in almost two weeks.

I'm actually supposed to be at Presbyterian Hospital right now for medical procedure, but I had to reschedule it for late March because I can't get out.

I'm also pissing out on seeing wicked this weekend.

To say that Pittsburgh has dropped the ball when it comes to ensuring that people with disabilities have equal access to sidewalks throughout the city is an understatement, and that has been made painfully clear in the aftermath of the snowstorm on January 25th.

I can't get out of my parking lot.

I genuinely cannot tell whether or not the alley behind my house ever got plowed.

There's still so much snow on the road.

Even just an inch of snow buildup prohibits me from going out because it gets stuck in my wheels and gums up everything so that I can't move.

But even if the alley did get cleared, I'd still be stuck at home because where did the snow plows dump all of the snow?

Oh right, onto the curb cuts.

I've seen photos of mounds of snow blocking crosswalk access from all over Pittsburgh.

Not only has the city not done a good job of clearing curd cuts, it's actually made things worse by treating them as snow storage.

And let's not even talk about bus stops.

Even if the sidewalks were clear in front of bus stops, which they aren't, most of the plows uh stuck to the middle of the road and didn't clear enough snow to let buses get to the sidewalk.

Other cities have this all down pad.

Did you know that New York Sanitation Department has a program where they'll pay anyone who participates $19 an hour to shovel snow from bus stops, curb cuts, crosswalks, and fire hydrants.

My parents live in lower Manhattan where they've been blasting ads for emergency snow shovelers all over the radio, and my mom, who uses a role leader, says she's able to get out just fine.

In Pittsburgh, we have nothing like this.

The Snow Angels Volunteer Program is helpful for seniors and disabled people to get their own sidewalk shoveled, but that doesn't help with curb cuts and bus stops, and there's no enforcement of ordinances requiring that sidewalks be cleared to extend to the extent that a wheelchair can get down the street.

I demand that City Council team up with the mayor's office to create a sidewalk safety action plan for clearing up sidewalks, curb cuts, and bus stops after we get snow, especially for major storms like this.

It's not just the quote unquote right thing.

Thank you very much.

Your comments are actually much appreciated.

Our next speaker is Bethany Cameron.

Good morning, Council members.

My name is Bethany Cameron.

I still live in Overbrook.

And today I'm again here representing Informup.org, a local news nonprofit which reports weekly on public meetings so we can and include surveys so we can represent readers' preferences back to their elected officials.

Our community survey this week, Ram, January 30th through February 2nd.

We recorded 116 total responses.

All nine districts were represented.

I'll cover three critical policing issues.

Number one, on the topic of police response to federal immigration enforcement.

The question Inform Up asks readers was Should Pittsburgh police actively intervene if they see that federal immigration enforcement officers are violating someone's constitutional rights.

We received 98 responses to this question.

Almost 78% strongly support intervention.

One resident from the North Side said, police just watching ICE abduct people is not acceptable.

Whereas another resident from Lawrenceville, pardon the language, said we need law and order, we need to avoid a pissing match with federal agents.

Assist them so they get in and out.

It's what's best for the community and public safety.

Number two, regarding police response to protests.

When asked, how should police respond to demonstrations and protests in Pittsburgh?

94 readers responded.

Around 30% want to see police engaged as community liaisons using specially trained officers.

Another 30% want to see traffic control and emergency response only.

Almost 9% want to see tactical gear actively managing protests and demonstrations.

And around 7% wanted to see another variation.

80 readers responded.

21% said building trust through community meetings.

Almost 19% want to see expanding violence prevention programs.

Almost 14% chose improving police community coordination, and another 14% want to see improving response times and service quality.

Whereas around 6% each uh chose school andor youth partnerships and increasing police presence.

5% chose other.

As always, we will send your full your office the full report with all comments.

Thank you for considering residents' views on these fundamental public safety questions.

Thank you.

Our next speaker is Icahana Hal Malkina.

Greetings and good days.

My title is Chief Ekahana How McKinnah.

I am the Grand Deep Ground Aircraft Confederate Aparation of American people.

Now a good formality for anyway.

There are several issues and topics of concern that the American people and today society would like to have a dread.

None of which are unique or unfamiliar to anyone sitting in city council chambers today.

We need big city and city council and the mayor and public safety directors.

Making sure that schools remain in neighborhood and that they are accessible.

Making sure that transportation is accessible.

I'm taking that glove off what you got, so get ready.

A person first hand.

Isn't the problem in that city?

Each administration only inherit the lab administration corruption.

Well think of the usual attitude.

Should we told public works department and other labor-intense jobs?

They can have.

But if they tell the truth, whether South of their friend tell the truth, they know they leave early.

Don't sit down to being really real about the city problem that played up.

I travel throughout this region.

And in the mom valley, they clear their street.

It's disgruntled.

And it's unacceptable.

And something must be done.

Thank you.

Our next speaker is Sheree Winston.

If Sheree is now with us, our next speaker is Elaine Houston.

Okay, can you hear me?

Yes, we can.

Okay.

I am only in Houston.

I live in the intersection between East Liberty and Shitty Side, because I'm literally right on the edge of multiple districts.

Um I am here to discuss the current situation regarding people's ability to navigate Pittsburgh, especially people with disabilities.

I'm currently trapped in my apartment complex, East Bond.

The lack of adequate snow removal from clouding her cuts and snow still piled between lanes is unacceptable more than a week after the storm.

The Pittsburgh Center for Disability Justice is trying to help through mutual aid, but this isn't the correct answer.

If I cannot get outside of my East Light Bond and Pittsburgh Regional Transit, bus weight, I'm I'm unable to get to any medical appointments, stores, etc.

I cannot even cross Penn Avenue to get to Target, which is just directly across the street from my apartment.

The most recent forecast indicates that this snow will not melt before the end of February at the Europeans.

I will send written comments along with photos from the immediate perimeter of the East Light Bond property in the busway to illustrate my point.

The current 311 complaint system for reporting curve cut and crosswalk issues one at a time is insufficient.

An individual in a wheelchair who is unable to use one percut for crosswalk just gets them to them one step at a time.

It would take days or weeks to enable the person to safely get to their intended destination.

I know that the number, a number of the sidewalks and PRT bus stops in downtown or in Oakland are not currently usable by people with the disabilities either.

As I wrote P1 in a loop to see the status myself.

Even if I were to buy a drone over the city or county to identify all of the impact areas, and then created an automated system to submit 311 complaints, it would be an insane burden to be placed on the disability community.

There are many elderly disabled that are virtually still trapped in their own homes.

We need this problem resolved quickly, and a system put in place to ensure the situation is not repeated in the future.

I.

Thank you.

Our next speaker is Joey Dore.

Is Joy Dore with us?

If not, we have exhausted our list of registered speakers.

We'll now take comments from those in chambers who are wishing to speak.

Please come forward, provide your name and neighborhood for the record.

Carlino Giampolo.

Panther Hollow.

I will read excerpts of my January 30th letter to the mayor and various city administrators.

Shut down the illegal skate park in Panther Hollow.

The city of Pittsburgh is beyond the diet, adults, liable should there be a catastrophic injury to a skateboarder.

This past Sunday, despite near record snowfall, skateboarders arrived at the skate park with shovels to clear away the snow on the ground, ramps and metal rails, and then continue their activities.

Three skateboarders fell on their backs while using a metal rail, only to get up, shake off the snow, and resume skateboarding.

Skateboarders have also used a skate park at other times this winter, seemingly oblivious to the dangerous formation of ice in the skate park.

Meanwhile, City Council was working to create a special trust fund that would guarantee millions of dollars for city improvements.

However, in a civil lawsuit, instead of investing in city improvements, those same millions from taxpayers could instead need to be awarded to the family of a skateboarder after they tragically suffer a spinal cord or brain injury at the skate park and become incapacitated for life.

This is not hyperbole.

This is a true possibility that can become a tragic reality.

If a civil lawsuit were to be filed, the city's position would be indefensible.

No drawings were submitted for the construction of the skate park.

No certificate of occupancy of skateboarders have modified a public playground for their own private use.

No permits were issued, and no city supervisors oversee the construction.

Who bears a collective responsibility for this potential tragedy?

The two council members who publicly support the illegal construction, the director of public works, the public works parks maintenance manager, the director of parks and recreation, the director of city planning, other high-level city administrators, the Pitt student, who is now the unqualified leader of the ongoing construction.

To those who support the illegal skate park, what is it about your own dignity that justifies no notice being given to residents?

Silence, knowing that a resident has filed 11 incidents of harassment, and ignoring the pain and suffering of another resident who is being driven away after 43 years.

Awaken your dignity.

End the liability and the injustice.

Thank you for your attention.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

My name is Yvonne F.

Brown.

I live at 715 Mercer Street, the high rise at the top of Baffort.

I come today, and I'm I'm really sad.

The sergeant of arms, I don't see the tall one, but um they had came up to the building.

That's after we had assisted.

Mr.

Lavell, you remember Yinz came to the building, and there was a little store, there was a store, and I introduced Ms.

Pack to the sergeant of arms.

I said, She's a five feet one.

I said, and she can cuss like a sailor.

Now when I found out that she was just last week they said that she was um I thought home.

I thought in the hospital, but she was home, and her family was there.

Well, she has the store, and she has a granddaughter that brings in this stuff.

She really helps her grandmother.

I I happened to see her, and I said, I'm well, how's Miss Pat Dor?

She says she's in and out.

I said, Well, tell her, I was telling her about the carrot juice.

I said, You drink it, say it's for you, and you just want her to taste it.

I said, but also tell her I'm gonna go down and tell the sergeant arm that she's still cussing like a sailor.

So she smiled, but then next day I told that she had passed.

I come down to tell you that I want to tell you about a woman.

I tried to write something, who was more than a neighbor.

She was a friend, a mentor, a light in my family's life, and more like more families.

Um her name was Miss Pat.

She owned a candy store in the high rise.

We live that we live in.

Her little corner of joy and comfort for all of us, because people would come in and sit and talk with her.

She in the store told him, you must stop this.

Also, we have a Richard Johnson who passed away.

He knew August Wilson.

If you when they had um down at the Civic Arena, they had a show.

They had took part of the restaurant, Eddie's restaurant, where August Wilson was sitting in right.

They had the stools there.

Now Denise said that she uh worked as a uh a waitress and she knew August very well.

Um I still come because I can remember.

I met August three times, but when he told me to keep coming down and tell him my story, because otherwise it is his story, your story.

You need to know what's happening in our community if we're unsafe, that you are supposed to protect us.

You are getting paid to come here.

I'm coming on my own, trying to help the citizens of the community to teach them that they can come down and tell you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

My name is Unique Brown.

And we spend this month every year to talk about black people that made a change and fought hard to make a change, and every year it's getting worse.

We don't talk about people in this time that's making a change because it's not happening.

There's no one doing anything.

But I'm standing here again because this isn't just about words, it's about my life, my children's safety, and the countless other families that have been hurt by the systems that's meant to protect us.

Last time I spoke here, before I even left the City County building, I was watching the video, and it went from private, well, playing to private, then took off, then put back up after we went and told the mayor.

But um, I really don't want to speculate as to why, but because I'm your boy's daughter, I'm going to.

Maybe it was because of what I said, maybe it was because only four or however many a few people spoke that day.

It wasn't voices that y'all thought was important enough to protect.

But their speeches, they're not just speeches.

These are people's lives.

So public comment should not disappear, even briefly.

And today I'm faced with the same thing as always.

Most of you are absent, only a few of you truly listen.

Some of you sit in text.

I see blank stairs, no response, just a clock clicking down, like our pain does not matter.

That silence is not neutral.

It's dismissive and pure and simple, it's stonewalling.

I'm going to keep raising the same issues until I get clear answers about Allegheny links and the agencies they funnel people to.

They are being shuffled around, ignored, delayed, and re-traumatized with no transparency or accountability.

I search for who watches over these places, but they only care if it's racial discrimination.

But what about when they break the rules they can't break?

There's no clear answers, no one to turn to.

Like who does Allegheny links, who does shelters, who does all these agencies answer to?

They say y'all, but y'all know where around.

After the meetings, y'all running out.

My um, I didn't finish this, so I'll finish it when we come back since um I don't want to run out.

I don't want the clock to ding because that's the only time I hear y'all's voice is when y'all tell everybody to be quiet.

So um, I'll let the clock run.

I mean, y'all can start it over because I'll be back to finish my speech.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning, special agent sunshine.

I I wasn't gonna speak today, but God spoke to me and told me not to grow where he ain't doing good.

So I'm gonna start with prayer, Father, glorify your name.

Answer my cry, oh Lord, in a way that will accomplish your will.

For your will is good, acceptable, and perfect.

It is best for you, and therefore best for me, and any others who may be affected by this prayer.

I'm gonna start with a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.

since it is Black History Month.

He once said, true peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice.

And I feel strongly I'm that presence that God sent here to bring justice.

It's amazing how you say and justice for all.

Really?

When, Lou?

When, Lord?

Will there be justice for all?

We're still being oppressed in the stupidest, craziest ways.

These children are still hungry.

And I'm living in a shelter where I see the hunger on their faces.

There's not enough food.

How is there not enough food?

How are the overflow that stay at these shelters where we were sent so that we're not out in the cold?

How do we get that before these children who are crying because they're hungry?

How is that okay?

It is not.

And I came here to share that with you.

Humanity.

What is it?

All human beings, the human race.

The qualities that make us human, like compassion, kindness, and empathy.

That's what humanity is.

Ecclesiastes 8.

Chapter 8, verse 8 says, No man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the day of his death.

As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one is discharged in time of war.

So wickedness will not release those who practice it.

We lost Decinda Stevens, a good girl, I was told, who worked at the Housing Authority to a car crash in the ice.

120 feet she plunged.

If anybody connected to her practice voodoo, that was the warning that you guys got two weeks before that happened.

To stop for somebody you cared about and really loved was gonna die.

And I know everybody heard me bring that message.

So here we are, and now she's not.

In Jesus' name, I pray for her and her family.

Amen.

Thank you.
