Council Diversity is at play in the 9 June 2026 PROC 2026-0603 for Dr.

Brenda Gregg, uh Destiny of Faith Church.

Dr.

Greg said she was committed to quote do the work of the Lord, um, which requires tendencies toward the divine.

Now the word of God says a man from uh with tendencies um to the divine, pure of heart, harms no one, renounces the things of the world, and leads to liberation.

A man or woman, I add, uh born of demonic tendencies, shows hypocrisy, arrogance, um, ignorance, and leads to bondage.

I admire the work of Nicole Behari, D.

Roberts in the in the film American Violet, uh, and she was in Miss June 19th.

Now these are the words of uh the Lord, uh, God incarnate, uh, Shri Krishna.

They're the words of the Lord in the Bhagavad Gita, which to more than one billion people worldwide, more than 10,000 citywide in this city of Pittsburgh.

Followers of Hinduism, it is the infallible word of God.

Now, if you, as counselor claimants, do not recognize this, Strasburger and Keel Smith have done so in the past, then your behavior is anti-diversity.

To billions outside the city and thousands here, the Lord is Krishna.

Thank you very much.

Our next speaker is Valerie Law.

All right, good morning.

My name is Valerie Lall.

I am a former president of the Northview Heights Citizens Council.

As of 2008, to date, HUD has awarded numerous amounts of monies and dollars to replace, fix, or add to the playgrounds here in Norview.

Funds have never been distributed to the Norview Heights.

Under HUD, Section 310, it states numerous violations that HUD currently is under.

I have current photos of the conditions in which our 500 plus children have to play on.

I am not a professional photographer.

I've done the best I could to take these photos to illustrate the deadly dangerousness of our playgrounds here in Norview.

We know that the buck stops with Castor Binion, the CEO of housing that has been there for 15 years or more.

I've worked with him under my leadership only to be fed story after story, playground after playground.

None has arrived.

It is enough already.

From the Health Department, Mr.

Mosley, John Fetterman, HUD, Jackie Molinero, Facebook.

Who else do I have to go to?

How many more children have to be injured in the playgrounds in Norfolk?

I ask people to come look for themselves to be able to feel the passion that I feel right now.

I'm done crying.

I got a good fight in front of me.

I'm not gonna stop until ground is broken in Norfolk for a new playground for our children.

Let the mayor of this city come up to Norfolk and brag about a new playground, not all over the city where our children are suffering.

Somebody has got to say we are all on the same team.

We have got to stop stealing from our children.

We have got to show that the power of the purse falls within the people.

It doesn't make you important that you have power and money, and the children are suffering.

Somebody should say enough is enough.

And so that's why I stand here before you all today.

I'm not going to stop.

And I hope somebody's listening.

Thank you.

Our next speaker is Bethany Cameron.

Good morning, council members.

My name is Bethany Cameron.

I'm here representing Informup.org, and I still live in Overbrook in District 4.

InformUp.org is a nonprofit, providing weekly reporting on city council with each with each article.

We include a survey so we can communicate readers' preferences directly to council members.

54 readers completed our survey this week, and all nine districts were represented.

Number one, on expanding the adopt a lot program to allow uses beyond gardening, such as public art and community gathering spaces.

A District 4 resident from Carrick wrote, I am extremely excited to see council discussing these topics.

We need more third spaces where people can exist without needing to spend money, and we need more green spaces and plants both for human health and for environmental and wildlife benefits.

Expanding use cases for the adopt a lot program is great, but criteria should be set for the uses that most benefit the public good and prioritized accordingly.

Number two, on which aspect of urban agriculture matters most.

Number three, on willingness to regularly volunteer to maintain a protected natural area.

70% will be willing, 27% strongly, 42% somewhat to volunteer, and 21% would not be willing.

A district six resident from the upper hill wrote, I currently steward a section of the upper hill full of city owned unimproved hillside lots.

It's a magnet for litter and illegal dumping.

I don't mind volunteering my time, but there needs to be a better plan.

To rely on volunteers for even more effort isn't right, especially when we see minimal enforcement.

We'll be sharing the complete survey results via email to council members and your respective chiefs of staff.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you.

Our next speaker is Icahana Hal Malkina.

You're currently on mute.

With that, we've exhausted our list of registered speakers.

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

Also provide your name and neighborhood for the record.

Carlino Giampolo, Panther Hollow.

Here is a letter that I sent to the mayor this morning.

The subject is deteriorating illegal skate park.

Rats, vandalism, and more.

Mayor Corey O'Connor.

In my letter to you on Friday, June 12th, I said, quote, I invite you to visit the playground in Panther Hollow that is now an illegal skate park.

I will meet you there.

This issue is truly a no-brainer when one's dignity is fully awake and then put into action.

When you visit the playground, simply ask yourself if you would bring your wife and children here to watch the skateboarders.

End of quote.

I will show you.

One, where the rats nest inside the illegal skate park.

Two, the graffiti throughout the illegal skate park.

Three, the sights with crudely scrawled vulgar language.

Four, a broken fire hydrant taken from somewhere in the city.

Five, an abandoned tire.

Six, a pile of dirt and brick debris.

Seven, the illegal skate parks close proximity to our homes where the noise permeates inside from morning until darkness.

Our community takes pride in its Italian heritage and clean environment.

The illegal skate park is antithetical to our values.

I urge you to come and visit.

End of letter.

I also extend my invitation to council members Bob Charling and Barbara Warwick, who are the political voices and faces for the deteriorating illegal skate park.

Tragically for everyone, the illegal skate park continues to bring ongoing shame and moral humiliation to this council, the mayor, his administration, and the city of Pittsburgh.

Tragically, for everyone, the illegal skate park continues to bring ongoing shame and moral humiliation to this council, the mayor, his administration, and the city of Pittsburgh.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Mr.

Lowe, hand them to Chris in the blue shirt.

Good morning.

Many of you probably heard about or seen on the news the collapse of 1406 Sheffield Street last Thursday.

I live directly across the street of 1407 Sheffield Street and have called Manchester my home for over 70 years.

I heard the building give way and watched it fall onto the neighboring property.

I'm here today because I'm concerned not only about that building, but about the growing number of vacant and vandalized properties throughout Manchester.

That sheet that I've provided shows issues challenging.

Many of us are challenged in our neighborhoods.

Manchester's historic institutions, religious facilities, educational and residential properties.

These properties are important to the part of our neighborhood's history, identity, and many now are threatened and at risk.

You will hear repeatedly public agencies, including the City of Pittsburgh, the Urban Redevelopment Authority, the Housing Authority, the School District, the Parking Authority, and many others own parcels of land in Manchester, approximately 254, valued at 25.6 million.

15 nonprofits own land in Manchester, 110 parcels valued at 16.2 million.

The information comes from research conducted by Dr.

Dan Holland at Carnegie Mellon University in collaboration with my organization, Manchester Friends and Colleagues.

I'm here today speaking from our organization and those who affiliate with us.

When such a large share of neighborhood property is owned by public agencies and nonprofit organizations, it raises important questions about the stewardship, investment, and long-term planning.

Many properties have remained vacant for years and some have become deteriorated to the point that they pose safety hazards and concerns for the residents.

On June 9th, I attended the City of Pittsburgh neighborhood planning meeting, and at the end of the meeting, residents were asked by CJ Thorpe Community Affairs Liaison and Corey Buckner, Supervisor of Community Affairs, what question do you most want the city to help resolve?

The answer was simple.

How many vacant buildings and lots does the city own in Pittsburgh's 90 neighborhoods?

What is the economic development strategy for these properties in this neighborhood?

Councilman Lavell, Manchester residents want to be part of the solution.

We would welcome the opportunity to work with you and other stakeholders to develop a practical financial plan of restoring historic buildings and returning vacant properties to productive use and preserving the neighborhood that so many of us love.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

My name is Maddie Williams.

I'm from Manchester.

My name is Maddie Williams.

I am in mayor of Sheffield Street.

At least Ed Gainey said that.

And my neighbors call me that.

I lived in Manchester most of my life.

I remember when folks sat on their porches, when children played outside, and when Manchester was a place where people seeking affordable housing and we're proud to call home.

That's not what I'm seeing now.

Last Thursday, I mean last Thursday, June 11th, a building on the street on my street collapsed.

1406 Sheffield Street.

I live one block away.

I heard it fall, I felt in my chest.

Thank God nobody got hurt.

But the families next door at 1410 was displaced when the house fell.

Here is made me angry.

The building was condemned by the city in 2017.

Nine years, you all, nine years.

It set there rotting while the city did nothing.

When it finally collapsed, it took the family's homes with it.

That would kill, couldn't have killed, could have killed someone.

When the city condemned a building, that was supposed to mean something.

A piece of paper in a file cabinet doesn't keep us safe.

The city has a responsibility to enforce its codes to help our community fix up our historical buildings before they become death traps.

Manchester is where historic preservations started in Allegheny County.

These buildings are part of who we are.

If we don't protect them, we lose our history and identity.

Back in April, we reached out to Council President Lavelle about the city's 25.6 million in vacant properties in Manchester.

We asked for a meeting.

We never got a response.

So here I am.

And what I am asking.

Councilman Daniel LaVelle.

Please respond to our letter and telephone calls.

Revest in our historic neighborhoods.

Work with us to preserve what makes Manchester special.

Work with us to inspect every vacant and condemned property in Manchester now.

With communities, preservation groups, together, we can develop a plan.

Enforce the code.

We thank you.

God bless y'all.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

My name is Arthur Kassowski.

I live at uh 1334, Pennsylvania, which is right around the corner from the building that we're talking about that collapsed.

I've lived in Manchester for eight years.

Um I want to talk about the larger issue facing Manchester, which is who owns the real estate and what is being done with it.

As Maddie mentioned, uh a group of us asked uh Councilman Lavelle to meet with us and uh to help us develop a plan for what to do with the uh real estate in the neighborhood, and we have not heard back in in two months.

As you all know, Manchester's Pittsburgh's largest nationally recognized registered historic district, and um here are some facts that uh that the neighborhood has developed.

Manchester is composed of 1,477 real estate parcels.

Only one third of those are owned by people who live in the neighborhood.

There are 50 owners, including government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, and private investors who control 40% of the properties in Manchester.

They also control more than half of the vacant land and 45% of the property value.

The largest of those property owners is the city of Pittsburgh.

There are 95 tax delinquent properties among those that are owned by these 50 owners.

And uh over 400,000 of liens are owed on those properties.

So the bottom line is much of Manchester is owned by people who do not live in the neighborhood, and many of those people, including the City of Pittsburgh, most prominently are not meeting their responsibilities.

As a neighborhood, we have a plan, but our plan does not include a financial strategy for restoring vacant land or uh abandoned buildings and bring property back to productive uses.

There's no dedicated funding for affordable housing, and uh there's no way to right now, there's no plan to put all of these properties to productive use, particularly the properties that are owned by the city of Pittsburgh.

So, Councilman Novell, uh, our neighborhood, we've done our research.

We know what properties are there, we know what properties are owned by the city, and we know what opportunities exist in our neighborhood.

We are simply asking for a meeting.

Let's please sit down together to create a realistic financial plan to put these properties back to work for the people of Manchester and the City of Pittsburgh.

We deserve and expect a response, and we hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning, Rick Smith, North Oakland District 8, talking about resolution 2026 586, which was introduced last week and will be discussed tomorrow.

Um, that it's 46,000 to continue access to the geocycloramas that have been paid for already.

And so questions about what are the alternatives, what if they go out of business, what if their systems are offline, what if the end of the contract is met, and then and then what?

Like what's what's the next step?

Um I went to try to look up open uh in open book, and there was no cyclamedia found, so I I don't really have access to what the current contract is.

In addition to that, um, to be able to, there's there's a lot of discussions that come before you relating to software and renewals, and to be able to add a rationale to the resolution, um, for example, in resolution 411 discussed at the 513 um standing committee meeting, um, councilmember Strausberger's question to acting director price about um why, you know, the parameters around this, what's the rationale?

And she said OMB was in discussion with INP to develop a alternative budget simulating program in-house, and that's why they're only going for a one-year extension.

So, what's the rationale for this contract with Cyclamedia in resolution 586?

Also, risks associated with that.

Controller Heisler last night in the public school system policy meeting, was talking of single and sole source vendors, and she gave an example of this one system they're using and how difficult it would be to replace.

How many other systems would be difficult to replace that the city is using, and what kind of risk is the city taking on if those systems go out of business offline or the price is jack during extension?

So, in summary, I encourage discuss 586 tomorrow.

Uh, add rationales to the resolution and illuminate the risks and mitigations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

My name is Yvonne F.

Brown.

I live at 715 Mercer Street.

That's KB Wervis Tires in the Hill District.

I wanted to say something to the lady that spoke about Northview Heights.

That's where most of my family lives.

My sister was Beverly Hunter, who died a couple years ago.

I know you knew Beverly and Stanley Lowe.

I know you knew my sister.

She was a little bit different from me.

She was a little louder, whether you believe it or not.

But Norview has been for years, just not given the things that they should have been.

Even Beverly, my sister came down to speak about Norview.

But what I wanted to speak about is I've been coming down and trying to explain about the elected official, Mr.

Watson to Witt Watson.

Years years ago, and this is about 2018, I came down to City Council.

No, I'm sorry, it would be like 2014.

Because 13, my husband moved his brother Lenny, moved him into Katie Worth tires.

And I drove my daughter's furniture and her truck to Atlanta.

And I came back, he was there in that in that building.

I have spoken to Kaylee Wood Irvist.

K.

Lee were Irving, a lot of you don't know, he was the uh at one time, uh district attorney.

He had two master's degrees, and he also fought for that building for the poor people.

Now, the reason why I'm I'm coming down because I've had this politician who actually ran in my face, screaming at me.

I thought he was gonna attack me.

Um, at county council.

Almost made me afraid to go to county council, but I went to the one of the uh um Sergeant of Arms.

But those are um, those are state policemen.

Anyway, I told them if you see him running up on me again, take them down.

There's a big tall policeman.

He assured me that he would.

Because I'm gonna still keep going to county council to try to get what we need.

Now the problem I'm having is that that councilman, Mr.

DeVelle, you told me to go to county council.

When I said we needed a bus to go down to the bottom of the hill from KB World Irvis instead of two buses and have to come to get to the hospital.

You just have to excuse me today.

This weather, and then I have asthma, and it's really bothering me.

But I'm determined that you must hear what the problems are.

My father taught me a long time ago.

If you don't know, we can't correct it.

Yes, sir.

Next speaker.

My name's Anthony Williams.

Um I didn't come here to speak, and when I'm here, I normally don't come to City Council only when compelled.

I heard the lady's speech when I was looking for Mr.

Mosley.

Councilman Mosley.

Good to see you again.

I hope your father's well.

Uh council men and women.

I hope your families are well.

Uh I do this every time.

And I apologize.

But your job is hard.

I say this every time.

I would not want your job.

I could not do your job.

I don't know how long.

You people have been serving, but I remember you, sir.

I knew your father before I met you at the ceremony in Homewood.

Complaints.

Problems to solve.

That's a job.

Complaining is a job, but you have to learn how to complain.

You have to learn how to communicate.

I'm learning.

I've been asked to be representative of what?

I'm I can hardly represent myself.

Only in the name of God, but I'll say this in closing.

The new administration is beautiful.

The old administration was wonderful.

Let's see what communication and work can do.

My blessings to you all.

The executive branch of the mayor's office.

Senators, all politicians be well and do good.

God bless you all.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

Special agent sunshine, the missing child, Ceres Taylor.

Thank you, Lord, for exposing and destroying every oppressor in the world.

In Jesus' name.

We still be in oppressed, y'all.

2026.

Martin Luther King is turning over in his grave.

Everybody that marched with him as well.

See all of y'all.

Do you think they can't come out the grave and choke some of y'all?

You don't think?

When stuff starts flying across the room in your homes, don't wonder why or who's doing it.

In Jesus' name, because they're not playing with y'all.

Like just because you can't see people who ain't here no more.

Don't mean they ain't here no more.

I've been here before.

Praise God for choosing me to be here at this time to bring the truth.

And the truth is the title of my message.

God gives us gifts to invest for his kingdom.

One of mine is I'm the 1981 CC dance, CCAC dance instructor.

And I'm looking for dancers for my project, A Night in Sunshine.

A night of sunshine, excuse me, a day of sunshine, a day of jazz with sunshine.

I'm doing fashion shows.

Whatever you got, bring it.

Especially these children.

The younger they are, eight-year-olds when they put on a dress, it's something about it.

When an eight-year-old 10-year-old put on a suit, it's something about it.

Come to Northside on Sundays to Harvest Street Mission.

That's where I'm supporting vocally.

I'm a female vocalist as well.

And I'm a public speaker.

Imagine that.

Up here preaching, praise God.

Woo!

Thank you, Lord, for using me as a vessel.

Warning to rich oppressors.

James 5, chapter 5, verse 1 through 6 through and 20.

Now listen, you rich people.

Weep and well because of the misery that is coming upon you.

Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten in your clothes.

Your gold and silver are corroded.

Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire.

You have herald wealth in the last days.

Look, the wages you failed to pay.

The workmen who moved your fields are crying out against you.

The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.

You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgent.

You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

You have condemned and murdered innocent men who were not opposing you.

Thank you for the rubber turns a sinner from their air of his wealth.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Next speaker, please.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

My name is Iris Goshe Rudolph.

The reason that I'm here is because I need some help and guidance.

And I understand the plight of having a vacant house.

I live in Manchester, and a long time ago and far away I had one.

But the squeaky wheels what gets oiled because I finally got the vacant house torn down, which had uh kids uh setting fire to it.

They had um raccoons, bats, etc.

So that's so you just have to keep pursuing it.

But the reason that I'm here today is because that vacant lot now has been um bought by an organization, and there's a contractor, the contractor, and I have multiple pictures of what the contractor has done to my house, my property, uh tore down my fence, and I need help.

I've tried to contact um Michelle Walker, trying to find a coder, because I'm concerned that this gentleman is now going to try to take over property that belongs to me and use it for the neighbor because he's already infringed 1200 times.

I have pictures from last June all the way up till this June, and so I just need help.

And who am I supposed to contact?

I um tried to get a hold of a gentleman, um, Joseph Leopold.

I have a letter that's going to Mr.

Brian Wirtz, who is a um inspector, but Mr.

Wartz seemed to side with the contractor when we met a few weeks ago and told me I should have called the police and just had the man put off.

Well, I can show you how much damage he's done.

I can't stand out and police it every time he comes.

He even put a port a party on the back of my property.

So I'm just saying I need help.

I need somebody that's gonna tell me who's gonna help me on my side because I can't find them.

And and trying to go through that list of city of Pittsburgh, it's been very hard, and I've worked at it.

I just need help.

Ma'am, ma'am, excuse me.

So who am I gonna see?

If you would leave your name and number on the document that you have and give it to the clerk here, we can then follow up.

Okay, thank you.

Finally, that takes us to motions and resolutions.

Is there anything from members?

If not, I do want to make one comment, which is relative to those who came to testify today from the Manchester neighborhood.

And I think this is also just to clarify for the public because often when residents see condemnation notices on a building, they assume the city owns it.

That doesn't mean we actually owned it, that means we've condemned it.

So in fact, that uh 1406 Sheffield, which did unfortunately collapse, was actually condemned by the city in 2021.

However, that building was actually still probably owned.

It actually sold on the open market in 2022, 2023, and then again in 2024 for $60,000.

And in 2024, an actual demo pit demo permit was submitted.

However, because that building is in Manchester's historical district, a much heavier review process is required for any structural changes, including demolition.

And at the Historic Review Commission in 2024, the community was actually opposing demolition because once it would be demoed, they were unsure of what would then actually be put back in its place.

Okay.

If not, then we need a motion to approve the minutes and adjourn the meeting.

And move.

Second.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

We are adjourned.
