Five members present.

Thank you.

For those who are able, please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance, remain standing for a moment of silence.

Please do the flag.

Thank you.

Our next order of business is to admit the agenda.

Is there a motion to admit?

So move.

Second.

All famous say aye.

Aye.

Our next order of businesses proclamations, we'll begin with Councilman Strassberger.

Thank you.

Okay.

Okay, good, I think.

What are we talking about?

We can make it this year.

If everyone who is here for Drave's syndrome can come up.

It's great.

All right.

So we are here to raise awareness and to present a proclamation about Drave syndrome.

So whereas Drave syndrome is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that begins in infancy and causes frequent prolonged seizures that are often resistant to treatment.

And whereas individuals living with Drave syndrome may also experience developmental delays, speech and motor challenges, behavioral differences, sleep disruption, feeding difficulties, and whereas families affected by Drave syndrome often face significant metal medical, emotional, and financial challenges while navigating lifelong care and support needs.

And whereas the Drave Syndrome Foundation and other advocates work to advance research, provide family resources, educate healthcare professionals, and strengthen support networks for those affected by the condition.

And whereas six-year-old Cora, who is here with us today of the Greater Pittsburgh area was diagnosed with Drave syndrome at nine months old after experiencing multiple life-threatening seizures and continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience while navigating complex medical needs.

And whereas through the advocacy of families, health care providers, educators, and community organizations, awareness efforts across the Pittsburgh region have helped improve understanding, foster inclusion, and connect families with critical resources.

And whereas local recognition of Drave syndrome helps reduce isolation, increase awareness of rare diseases, and show support for affected individuals and their caregivers.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that Pittsburgh City Council honors the strength of individuals living with Drave syndrome, their families, caregivers, and medical professionals, researchers, and advocates, and encourages all residents to learn more about Drave syndrome and support efforts to advance awareness, research, and inclusion.

Be it further resolved that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh does hereby recognize June 23rd, 2026 as Drave Syndrome Awareness Day in the City of Pittsburgh.

We have a motion to approve.

All favor say aye.

Aye.

Congratulations.

Would you like to say a few words?

Good morning, everyone.

My name is Jen Morasca Kuhn, and I'm honored to be here today with members of the Drave Syndrome community, our families, and the dedicated staff of the Children's Institute and our nursing company.

As we recognize International Drave Syndrome Awareness Day, I live in Verona, just outside the city of Pittsburgh, but I have long-standing ties to this community.

I currently work at the University of Pittsburgh's David C.

Frederick Honors College and the School of International Public International Affairs, both located in Oakland.

My youngest daughter Cora, who's here today.

She's the reason we are gathered, and she recently began attending the Children's Institute in Squirrel Hill.

Pittsburgh has played an important role in our family's life, and we are deeply grateful for the care, expertise, and the compassion we've received here.

I would like to begin by extending my sincere gratitude, hi, to Councilmember Erica Strasberger for sponsoring this proclamation and to the members of the Pittsburgh City Council Council for recognizing June 23rd, 2026 as Trevay Syndrome Awareness Day in the City of Pittsburgh.

We're especially grateful that this recognition comes from a community that includes the University of Pittsburgh, the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and the Children's Institute, all three institutions that are directly shaping our daughter's care and development.

She's gonna make herself comfortable here.

Hi.

Hi.

She's doing great.

She is.

This proclamation does more than mark a date on the calendar.

It acknowledges the daily realities faced by families like mine living with Treve syndrome and sends a powerful message that our community sees us, supports us, and stands with us.

For families who are here today and watching, and for the staff of the Children's Institute, the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and our wonderful nurse Ty and our buttons.

On cue.

It's her world.

We just live in it.

And for those who may be just learning about Gervais syndrome for the first time, it is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that begins at infancy and continues throughout life.

Children with Gervais syndrome experience frequent and often prolonged seizures that are frequently resistant to treatment.

Many also face developmental delays, speech and motor challenges, behavioral differences, feeding difficulties, sleep disruption, sensory processing challenges, and an increased risk of sudden unexpected death and epilepsy, or otherwise known as sedette.

At this time, there is no cure.

Families like mine living with Trevay syndrome carry not only the weight of medical complexity, but also the emotional and financial realities of lifelong care, constant vigilance, and advocacy.

Our daughter Cora is one of those children.

She was diagnosed with Trevais syndrome at just nine months young after experiencing multiple life-threatening seizures.

In her six years of life, she's endured 40 seizures, ranging from one minute to five and a half hours.

She's been hospitalized 20 times, including five admissions to the pediatric intensive care unit requiring life support.

As difficult as those numbers are to hear, they do not define her story.

They're only part of it.

The other part is resilience.

Cora greets each day with joy, curiosity, determination, and love.

She works tirelessly in physical, occupational speech and vision therapies with the incredible support of her team at the Children's Institute.

She takes multiple medications, wears orthortics to support her mobility, and uses glasses to support her vision.

But she continues to move forward through challenges most people will never have to imagine.

And yet when you meet Cora, what you've noticed first is not her diagnosis.

So you can all see here.

You notice her smile.

You notice that she's often the first to ask, how are you doing?

You notice how freely she offers hugs and kisses and kindness.

You notice her joy and her instinct to connect with others.

And if she has her favorite snack with her, there's a good chance she will share it with you.

Literally push it in your mouth.

She reminds us daily that courage is not the absence of hardship.

It is choosing joy in spite of it.

To the staff of the Children's Institute, thank you for your expertise, your patience, your creativity and your belief in children like Cora.

You're not only providing therapy and support, you're providing confidence, independence, and hope.

To our nursing agency and our wonderful nurses, Ty, who's here today, and Sarah.

These women are our family.

They are our lifelines.

They are what literally make our life go forward.

Our daughter has such a special bond with them, and we are so grateful that they're angels on earth like nurses, and we need more of them in our world.

The proclamation being presented today reflects the importance of awareness, research, specialized care, inclusion, and community support.

It recognizes individuals living with Trevay syndrome, as well as their families, caregivers, nurses, educators, researchers, advocates, and other health care providers who support them.

On behalf of our family and many other families across Pittsburgh and throughout the Pennsylvania who are walking this path, thank you for helping us shine a light on a condition that is often unseen.

Thank you for deepening our understanding of rare diseases.

And thank you for helping connect families to resources, care, and one another.

Most importantly, thank you for recognizing the strength, dignity, and potential children like Cora.

I proudly wear purple for my daughter.

She's wearing purple as well.

And today I accept this recognition not only on her behalf, but on behalf of every individual living with Trevay syndrome, and every family still fighting, still advocating, and still hoping for a brighter future.

We may be rare, but we are not invisible.

Thank you.

Would all members like to come up and join us for a photo, please?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

President.

And if I could ask Ryan Lestitian and his family to come up and join us, please.

Me specifically.

Okay, we can record that.

So okay, so uh thank you.

And first I want to say, Ryan, congratulations.

You know, at the uh ripe old age of 22 years, he's an author.

And uh I know the road, I kind of followed it with your just talking with your father about the different steps and no easy task to write a book, I will say.

You know, it's a lengthy process, and there's a lot involved on the business end, but um I look forward to um reading you know your vision and and your imagination and you know the the things that you're writing about.

So not only does he completed his first book and has it has it published, he's already started uh working on his second book, and I know that your mom and dad are proud of you, and in case you don't recognize our former county councilman Bill Listitian here and prominent Pittsburgh attorney is Ryan's father.

And Deb Lastition is no stranger to the hall here.

She worked in the uh Paduto administration years ago and was uh helping us uh run the city in every which way.

And your other guest, I'm sorry.

Oh, I represent Kane University and just player our D in Little Arts.

Great.

Well, welcome, Chris.

We're glad you could be here.

So, with no further ado, I will read the proclamation.

Well deserved, Ryan.

Uh, I know mom and dad are proud, I'm also proud of you as a constituent, and uh keep doing good work.

Whereas William Ryan Lestitian is 22 years old and a lifelong resident of Brookline, 19th ward city of Pittsburgh.

And whereas during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a 16-year-old junior at Seton LaSalle High School, Ryan dedicated himself to researching and writing his first novel titled Cell 900.

And whereas Ryan is driven to create stories that people actually want to read with compelling and suspenseful plots and memorable characters.

And Cell 900 is a novel in the psychological horror jenner, whose main character is a former police officer from Pittsburgh, seeking a fresh start after a tragic accident by taking a position as a prison guard in a rural Utah.

And whereas, after many years of hard work, Ryan, Cell 900 was selected for publication by Word Association Publishers and has been garnering excellent reviews and achieving commercial success since its release in January of 2026.

And whereas Ryan is now a junior in Duquesne University's Honors College majoring in political science with an exceptional GPA and is working on his next novel, tentatively titled Swing You Sinners.

And whereas Ryan's authorship is an impressive feat.

Exemplary of the young talent in Pittsburgh.

His creative skill set and passion for storytelling are paving the way for a successful future as a writer, and now therefore it be resolved that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh does hereby commend Ryan Lastitian and being further resolved that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh does hereby declare Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026, to be Ryan Listitian Day in the city of Pittsburgh.

Maybe we have a motion to approve.

Second.

All favor say aye.

Aye.

Congratulations.

Sure.

I'll be quick, just have uh some people I would like to thank.

Uh, first of all, the city council and councilman Coghill, of course.

I remember four years ago at the Brookline Canon at a fundraiser.

Uh he heard that I was writing this book, and from day one, he asked that he received the first hardcover available.

Here it is right now.

Uh I plan to give it to him, but for legal reasons, he does have to uh purchase it off of me instead.

Uh I would next like to thank my parents, uh Bill and Debbie.

They're so much behind the scenes that goes into making a book.

And um, especially during high school, I had some uh difficulties as well with illness, and they just were there every day to help get me through it.

Um, next, my uh publishers Word Association out in Torentum.

Uh Tom and Francine Costello really took me under their wing.

They were so excellent to me, especially as a first-time writer.

Um, I would also like to thank my graphic designer, Jason Price, who came up with this wonderful color, uh wonderful cover.

I can barely draw stick figures, so it's a good thing he was in charge of that.

And I would also like to thank my illustrator and my editor, Emily Kaiser.

Uh, this book is just as much as hers as it is mine.

I would also like to thank uh Cena LaSalle High School who helped me through those hard times that allowed me to write this book, and uh especially Duke University, who's Dean of Liberal Arts, uh Dean Blair is here to help me celebrate this today.

And none of this would have been possible without the Lost Palmas Taco Stand on Brookline Boulevard, kept me fed and my brain moving throughout six hard years of work.

So thank you all very much.

Yep, well, I have to be back.

I have to pay for it, but I want to I want to sign too as well, all right?

All right, good deal, good deal.

Mom, Dad, would you like to say a few words?

No.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, listen, congratulations again.

Don't go anywhere, we're gonna get pictures.

Uh Chris, if I could just get us first and then uh the other members after that, okay?

And council?

Thank you.

Everyone from aphasia awareness can come up, please.

So we you might remember this from last year because we presented a similar proclamation.

We want this aphasia is a language disorder that we want to continue to bring before the public because um it does affect more than two more million people every year, and it's really important that when we encounter people who are experiencing aphasia, we meet them with um understanding and patience and um and wrap our arms around the aphasia community.

So, whereas aphasia is a language disorder that affects more than two million people in the United States and is most commonly caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological conditions impacting a person's ability to speak, read, write, understand language, and communicate effectively while not affecting their intelligence.

And whereas aphasia can significantly affect an individual's daily life, relationships, employment, independence, and emotional well-being.

And whereas aphasia awareness day serves to increase public understanding of aphasia, challenge misconceptions, and promote greater inclusion and support for individuals living with communication disabilities.

And whereas the Pittsburgh Aphasia Community Group provides essential support, resources, and opportunities for connection to individuals living with aphasia and their families, helping participants engage in meaningful activities, build relationships, and maintain active roles within their communities.

And whereas individuals with aphasia can continue to learn, grow, contribute, and achieve personal goals when provided with appropriate support, including speech language therapy, community-based programs, and accessible communication practices.

And whereas creating a more inclusive community requires patience, understanding, and kindness from all residents, including speaking at a natural plate pace, listening attentively, and allowing individuals with aphasia the time they need to communicate.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh does hereby recognize and commend the Pittsburgh Aphasia Community Group for its outstanding efforts to raise awareness of aphasia and support individuals and families affected by this condition.

And be it further resolved that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh does hereby declare June 23rd, 2026 to be aphasia awareness day in the city of Pittsburgh.

Maybe have a motion to approve.

Okay.

All favor say aye.

Okay, one of the first steps.

Great.

Come on up.

I didn't even realize I had aphasia.

I realized I had a stroke, but not with aphasia.

That was 14 years ago.

I worked at PNC, Bank of New York Mellon, and Westinghouse.

On Thanksgiving Day, I had a stroke.

Chris was my first speech pathologist.

I have hashtags.

PA Aphasia Awareness, Pay Advocacy Matters, PA Aphasia Community.

Thank you.

Good morning.

My name's Chrissa.

I'm a speech pathologist and the director of the Pittsburgh Community Aphasia Center.

I'd like to begin by sending a special thank you to Councilperson Erica Strasberger for having our second annual Aphasia Awareness Day in the city of Pittsburgh.

Since we saw you last year, we actually formed the Pennsylvania Coalition for Aphasia Advocacy along with Temple University's aphasia community as well as Penn State.

We have conducted over 13 meetings with state legislators throughout the state with teams of people with aphasia, and we have successfully declared that the House of Representatives passed a resolution in the state of PA to declare the month of June aphasia awareness.

We're waiting for it to go to the Senate and the governor, but these individuals have worked very hard to get more public awareness brought to the aphasia community, and they've been very successful in the past year.

And it's all started with your attention here in this room.

So thank you so much.

It's very meaningful.

On behalf of the individuals living with aphasia and their families, caregivers, and professionals across our region, we're so grateful for your support.

As Erica mentioned, the difficulty is with language, not intelligence, not personality, it's access to language.

So they may know what they want to say, they have all the same feelings and intelligence that they did prior to the event that caused their aphasia, but they have difficulty expressing that.

Approximately one in three stroke survivors live with aphasia, which makes it more prevalent than Parkinson's disease.

Yet over 60% of Americans have never heard the word aphasia.

It leads to a loss of employment, a loss of relationships, a complete shift in their identity and perspective on life.

They receive speech language pathology services, usually in the fourth first four to six months of the onset of aphasia, and after that, they're expected to live life navigating aphasia on their own.

The advance of community aphasia centers has helped to change that reality.

And the Pittsburgh Community Aphasia Center has only been in existence for about four years now.

These programs provide opportunities for individuals to reconnect with their communities, rebuild confidence, develop meaningful friendships, and rediscover purpose.

Research has shown that these programs reduce depression, improve quality of life, and create lifelong support networks of other people who understand what they're living with and can help them to feel more like themselves.

We're also seeing increased awareness of primary progressive aphasia or PPA following the public disclosure of Bruce Willis' diagnosis.

Unlike stroke-related aphasia, which can improve over time, PPA is a symptom of a progressive neurological disease and worsens over time.

Increased public awareness of these things helps families seek support earlier, gives visibility to programs like the Pittsburgh Community Aphasia Center, and can help their families to understand what they're living with.

That is a major loss in the individual traditional health care treatment of speech pathology is that often individuals are not allowed to bill for services to families, but this is an a disorder that affects not only the person living with aphasia, but the entire family, friends, really whole network around them.

Today, as we recognize aphasia awareness day in the city of Pittsburgh, we acknowledge that significant barriers still remain.

Access to these programs, transportation, sustainable funding, continue to limit opportunities for many individuals with aphasia.

Our group serves over 60 individuals with aphasia, and they come from Slippery Rock to Mars, Moon, and the Greater Pittsburgh area.

So that uh Cannonsburg, we have people from all over the area seeking our services.

So we need more of them.

By proclaiming June 23rd, 2026 as aphasia awareness day in the city.

It's helping to give a voice to the people who have aphasia.

Your recognition sends a powerful message that communication matters, inclusion matters, and people living with aphasia matter.

They have not lost their intelligence, their personalities, or identities.

They simply need a community that understands aphasia and creates opportunities for them to participate in things that are meaningful to their lives.

Thank you for helping us raise awareness and improve these individuals' lives and their families' lives in despite living with aphasia.

Now I have there are a few members who couldn't be here today who really wanted you to hear their perspective on living with aphasia.

So first is Bridget Kalmyyer.

She says, My stroke has made life difficult, but aphasia has destroyed my profession as a lawyer.

I found the aphasia group run by Chrissa, and let me tell you, I love that group.

They do fun things like paint and play games, and it's always a great accomplishment when you get everything right.

Glad you took the time to hear this.

As a lawyer, she's a perfectionist if you couldn't tell from her quote.

Virgil Robinson, who had to be beside his brother who was undergoing surgery today, just got a text that went well.

So that's good.

He said personal identity and purpose are turned upside down now.

Your finances, doctors' appointments, loss of your license, always needing a ride wherever you go.

Family members or friends get tired because you always need a ride.

It's rough on a person who has aphasia.

And regarding relationships, people don't have time.

Everybody's in a rush to go nowhere, especially for a relationship.

Seventy-five to 80% of people who've started a relationship in about a month's time, it's over because they don't have enough time to listen to a person.

And when they go out with a person who has aphasia, they might be embarrassed because of the way they speak or the way they eat or the way they dressed.

People are embarrassed by that.

So again, the awareness and understanding is life-changing for these people.

Thank you so much for your time.

Thank you.

I had a stroke four years ago.

Oh the Pittsburgh.

What is it?

Community aphasia center.

That is really good.

Really good.

I was going through speech therapy, and they recommend me join them.

So I'm not with Pittsburgh.

Community aphasia.

No, that's fine.

I'm with AN is affiliated with them somewhat.

So that's why I'm appointed with them.

It's really good.

Really good.

So that's all.

Thanks.

Okay.

Always try to.

Good morning.

My name is Tina Harris.

I had a stroke 13 years ago.

I was a social worker before I had the stroke.

And aphasia took all that away from me.

But Chris was my speech therapist when I was in the hospital.

I mean, when I got out of the hospital, and she's wonderful.

She made me understand.

Even though I couldn't.

I couldn't speak at first.

When I did start talking, I sound like I was from another country.

What's that called?

I had foreign accent syndrome.

And I had a plan when I had the stroke.

I'm determined.

So Chris had helped me understand I could do all those things.

I have my driver's license back, and I volunteered now, so I'm back to work, and I can cook for my whole family again with the help of Chris.

I just feel like um getting programs like Chris's program.

It's the best for us, and I'm hoping to make one in every county here in Pittsburgh.

Cause we need them.

We need them.

It's a whole lot of people, just like us.

So that's all.

Thank you for listening.

But that's all fine, you know.

I just wanted to say, I don't want to do that.

Oh well now.

Okay.

With that, our next order business is public comment.

I would like to mind everyone's rules of council state.

The comments are limited amounts of concern, official action or deliberation, which may be be given three minutes to speak.

Our first registered speaker is Dr.

Ronald and Miller.

Dr.

Ronald and Miller, United States.

Pittsburgh, Three River City.

Uh downtown neighborhood, Pittsburgh City Neighborhood Network, United States.

Milwaukee, Three River City, Third Ward Neighborhood, USA neighborhood network.

Ireland, Belfast, Two River City and Port, Belfast Center neighborhood, Pittsburgh City Ally Network, Pittsburgh City Neighborhood Network, and World Neighborhood Network, all of which I founded in 2025.

A concern of this council, Irish, US American Pittsburghers, and diversity, which that represents Ally sister cities.

A concern that I have as a candidate for President of the United States, Global Intelligence Society for 2028, ACE, Allied Cities, and diversity.

Irish, US Americans are divided.

In this city, and in uh Belfast.

Belfast is bleeding again.

They're divided.

So here an Irishman.

Um we have spilled our fair share of blood struggling for a united Ireland, not profiting off a divided one, Pierce Brosnan, portraying once IRA but now British Minister for Northern Ireland, Liam Hennessy in the 2017 film, The Foreigner, Jackie Chan.

I think his greatest performance.

For Brosnan, uh, United States of Ireland, a USI, was and always his life's goal.

His blood is Irish.

Brosnan, born in the Republic of Ireland, Irish, branded as British agent, James Bond, Remington Steele, Steelers.

He broke through using what I consider to be a triple think identity ability.

I think he is a genius at this.

But neither and both at the same time, so C to bridge the divide, he said as Hennessy.

And is that not what we should do?

To bridge the divide in this city, racial, ethnic divides.

That's what I'm after.

Thank you.

Is Danielle King with us?

If not, our next speaker is Bethany Cameron.

Good morning, City Council members and staff.

My name is Bethany Cameron, I still live in Overbrook, and I'm here once again representing InformUp.org, a nonprofit providing reporting weekly on City Council.

With each article, we include a survey so we can communicate readers' preferences directly to council members.

This week we asked about the roots team awareness, infrastructure funding, and street image data.

Fifty-three readers completed our survey, and online council districts were represented.

Number one, we asked readers if they saw someone on the street who seemed to need assistance like medical care or housing.

Would they know how to reach the roots team?

Forty-five percent said they would not know who to call.

36% said they'd most likely call 911 or police, and only 5% of readers knew how to contact the roots team.

A reader from Knoxville and District 3 said, I strongly support having non-police personnel involved in any street situation that looks like a mental emergency.

But the common person reporting can't always tell what's best from a short observation.

So 911 has to be the single point of contact and dispatch will have to assess during the call who would show up.

A reader from Duquesne Heights in District 2 said more has to be done to help unhoused individuals and families and identify those at risk.

The city is turning its back on the working poor and those suffering from mental illness.

Number two, we asked readers how much they agree that the city should put more money toward fixing aging bridges and roads before they fail, even if that means fewer dollars for new projects.

56% strongly, 29%, somewhat, 9% disagree.

A reader from the Upper Hill in District 6 said bridges need to be fixed, but what if some bridges were restricted and forced by weight or local traffic only?

Number three, we asked readers which approach they would favor when the city pays a company to collect data like street images.

50% favor paying a higher upfront fee to own the data outright with no ongoing fees.

47% said it depends on how big the cost difference is, and six percent chose paying smaller ongoing fees to allow the vendor to store and maintain that data.

A point breeze reader in District 9 said the city needs to own its data.

Otherwise, companies can build dependencies and then use that dependency to push higher costs onto the city.

A Bloomfield reader in District 7 said, remember that Waymo has offered Pittsburgh reports from their fleet about road conditions and hazards.

As long as bids are competitive, I'm fine with ongoing costs to access data.

We will be sharing the complete survey results via email to council members and your respective chiefs of staff later today.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you.

That exhaust on this 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.

Good morning.

Carlino Giampolo, Panther Hollow.

This testimony is directed to council members Barbara Warwick and Bob Charland, the political faces and voices of the shameful Oakland do-it-yourself skate park.

Let me illustrate 12 impacts of the illegal skate park in the council members' attitude towards these impacts, which is I don't care.

One, the illegal skate park has been causing pain and suffering to our Panther Hollow community.

Their attitude, I don't care.

The noise of the skateboards crashing onto the concrete permeates our homes from morning to night.

Their attitude, I don't care.

Three, the police received a dozen incident reports of harassment by skateboarders and or their supporters.

Four, rats nesting under the skateboarders construction tart and elsewhere were reported to the Allegheny County Health Department.

Their attitude, I don't care.

Five, massive amounts of graffiti inside the skate park, including crudely scrawled vulgar language was reported to the director of permits licenses and inspections.

Their attitude, I don't care.

Six, the skate park users are continuously illegally consuming alcohol, which the director of public works can verify.

Their attitude, I don't care.

Seven, construction of the illegal Oakland DIY skate park has had multiple municipal code violations.

Their attitude, I don't care.

Eight, they cannot provide the names of any longtime residents or homeowners in our community who support the skate park.

Their attitude, I don't care.

Nine, they changed the name of our playground without notifying any longtime residents or homeowners.

Their attitude, I don't care.

10.

They refuse to answer the question.

Who gave the skateboarders permission to build the illegal skate park?

Their attitude, I don't care.

11.

The shame of the legal skate park has spread to this council.

The mayor and his administration and the city of Pittsburgh.

Their attitude, I don't care.

12.

Their lack of respect for the dignity of others undermines the efforts of public safety director Sheldon Williams and other law enforcement officers.

Their attitude, I don't care.

That attitude is morally reprehensible.

We are once again asking Mayor Corey O'Connor and his administration to shut down the illegal Oakland do-it-yourself skate park.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next next speaker, please.

Good morning, council.

I stopped past the date because I wanted to talk particularly about national night out.

You all know.

Homewards National Night Out is one of the largest that we have in the city.

Some of you all have attended.

Some of you all haven't.

But I sent a letter over to Councilman Carrie's office on the 2nd of June.

And I got something back that was a little bit boggling.

Council Carey's chief of staff.

She sends me a letter and she says, in this email, she says, Council Kahari only works with the RCOs.

In the community.

In that document, they began to name all the RCOs.

About 14, 15 RCOs.

But as I looked on Councilman Kahari's paperwork that was outside the office, wanted to see who he connects himself with.

Then I did a little background.

As you all know, I'm always going to check it before I come down.

Council Kahari Mosley works with the only RCO in Homewood, and it is Homewood Community Development Corporation.

Now, this is not to slight anybody in their work.

These people can't get no one to come to their meetings.

So how's Kahari Mosley's office working with these people to do something in the community?

It takes me to you all have all these kids running around the community.

And I'm gonna be, I'm gonna take the Donald Trump stand.

I know you all ain't gonna like it.

So I tell the kids, keep running around.

Because Cari Mosley's office only works with the RCOs, who's all them guys except for two of them, is over the age of 70.

None of these ignorant fools ain't coming out to see anything.

And we wonder why the Homewood community and we wonder why East Hills and we underwise nothing is being done.

I know you sit there with that grin on your face, Corey, but this is not a direct derogatory something about you.

I'm asking you, we are asking you for help.

National Night, I was going to be presented this year two days because the help is needed.

The resources is needed.

Now, if you all don't want to do anything, that's fine.

Remember, you're running for an election.

I take this stance because I have no other recourse.

This is something that the city puts together, and the offer asks us to do it because we do it at a good cause.

You want to help, and you all get on for all these photo ops, and you all like to show that you all are here.

I mean, let me look at me.

When you're gonna do something in the community that represents you, the same community that put you in that seat.

It doesn't seem like you play well in the plant sandbox.

I'm not, I'm not here to make any mercury water.

I'm here to ask for some help for the community.

Thank you.

Good morning, uh speakers.

My name is Patrick Robinson.

Uh I come here this morning to uh actually speak up on uh UPMC's McGee's women's hospital.

I'm a father of uh Patrick Robertson Jr.

That UPMC actually murdered my son back in 2020.

I actually bought Florida lawsuit.

I also went for it with the uh commission human relations department upstairs.

I've been so much chaos with UPMC after this settlement.

They promised some things in the settlement.

They didn't honor that.

They gave me a plaque.

They put in a basement in the hospital, which they have five floors in the hospital.

The plaque was actually broken due to the fact I kept arguing about why is my son plaque in the basement.

They actually uh taking the plaque down.

Actually, after it was broken.

I see supposed they had drawn the uh plaque of art, which was gonna be the diagram of the ultrason of my son, which my son never made it here.

My son was a twin five-year-old daughter, she just turned uh five years old on June 5th.

Her name is Passion Robson.

This I've been going so going on about this lawsuit with the commission, they actually kicked me up out of the office due to this plaque, was broken.

It's supposed to have been drawn.

They had actually made the plaque of their own, stamped his name on it.

They actually called the police.

The reason why I sued them, not because of the death, it was because guns were drawn on me by the police officers over in the hospital.

It have been so much going on.

They said that I was banned for the hospital.

I've never been banned from the hospital.

There'd been so much cover-up.

Also, I had two more kids over in the hospital.

I've been so much discrimination to the fact that the city of Pittsburgh, their name is stamped it on this lawsuit.

Also with the Allegheny County.

So I'm holding the county, also holding the city up for my artwork that basically of my son.

You gave me a plaque because you pulled the gun out.

You lied in the lawsuit.

I have a disability.

I never graduated.

I don't have a GD.

You took advantage of not just me.

It's like a cover-up.

And that's what been going on.

I've been seeing with the city of Pittsburgh and with the county.

We just can't stop this because they breached a contract agreement.

Also about this plaque thing.

The plaque has been taken down and it's in the office over the patient relations.

The UPMC's lawyer has been so much going back and forth.

He told my child mom that the plaque don't have nothing to do with her.

That's her child.

That's my child.

We got to do something about this, my people.

With that being said, thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

Uh Rick Smith, North Oakland, District 8, speaking on resolution 586, which you'll do the final vote on today.

Thank you for discussing it in standing committee, Council Person Gross, for uh seeing verifying the value of it as well as ensuring the privacy of the matter.

If I were there, the questions I would have asked additionally have to do with the risk management, such as if the internet goes out, do people who are using the data no longer have access to it to understand the risk?

As well as if the company goes out of business, does that mean loss of access to the data?

Which also then in the the looking at risk is the uh questioning about open formats and open source uh access to the data as a risk mitigation to if something goes wrong, we have have avenues.

So um, but as it stands, it's not a material example to push.

Glad for the vote and the discussion, and there'll be future packages that come through, which will have similar nature to them.

So I look forward to the continuing auditing and illumination that your council provides to the fine work of INP.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker, please.

Good morning.

My name is Yvonne Brown.

I live at 715 Mercer Street.

That's the high rise at the top of Bedford.

Um, with a hundred and ninety apartments.

I a lot of times I come down.

I'm speaking about K.

Lee Rivers.

And you need to know that he started the um.

I'm sorry, I'm kind of messed up today.

But uh he started the community college.

He also started the Human Relations Commission.

He had two master's degrees.

He fought years to get the house to get the apartment for this poor seniors of this city.

And I came down and have been talking about what has been happening up in the place where we live at.

And we're up in the building.

The management is um treats us like we are criminals.

Let me let me use the example of this woman did.

We have carts, some carts were from supermarkets.

We don't have a supermarket up there, but there is different carts.

Anyway, it someone went to her and said they didn't have a cart to take your food in.

So she made the announcement that they will be locking the carts up.

So they took in all them carts we had, they seemed to disappear.

They said they were stolen carts.

So they seem to disappear.

But you also have two carts that are arbors, and they lock arbors' carts up.

So on a weekend, um my friend was showing me, she said, Look, the woman came and she tried, she came to take some food to her family member.

No carts, so she's carrying food.

She had to go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

And they showed not a cart in the cart in that room.

Yesterday, as I was on the elevator, you know, old people, the older people, which I'm one of them.

She was talking.

She said, you know what?

I'm trying to figure out.

Is Aubra locking up the stolen carts from us?

Do you understand on the weekend?

They lock carts up.

They're behind the door, and people are trying to carry food.

We're older.

We're older.

You know, for me to carry, I have a cart.

I was given the cart.

But I want you to understand, we are treated like we are prisoners up here.

Do you understand?

Like we're in jail.

We have, I need to tell you, too, that we're not allowed to sit in the lobby, because that's her lobby.

Two women, two residents talking, stand out the top.

She ran out there and told, you know what I feel about in my lobby.

I need to report that the lobby has been stolen.

We're not even allowed to go in the city.

Thank you.

Next speaker.

Good morning, special agent sunshine, the missing child, Cerese Taylor.

Lord, thank you for another beautiful day.

Thank you for the Juneteenth celebration that I attended.

It was okay.

Okay.

Uh my message again is about the warning to rich oppressors.

Now listen, you rich people.

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

Your wealth is rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.

You saw your gold and silver are corroded.

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

You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

Look, the wages you failed to pay.

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

The cries of the harvesters have reached the airs of the Almighty.

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

You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

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

Whoever turns a sinner from the air of his way will save him from death and cover a multitude of sins.

The wisdom for today comes from Proverbs 28-27.

Those who give to the poor will lack nothing.

But those who close their eyes to them receive many curses, Laval.

You're not helping me, Lavelle.

I've been coming here for two years.

You stand up there on that podium as the president.

How'd you get that position?

Justice Department, please research that.

In Jesus' name.

Isaiah 60 22 says the least of you would become a thousand, the smallest, a mighty nation.

I am the Lord.

And in its time, I will do this swiftly, Mosley.

Will drag them away when they refuse to do what is right.

Justice Department, they refuse to do what is right.

And justice for all.

Really?

When Bill?

Why do you keep amending the agenda?

You're putting off what you should be doing right now till tomorrow.

Again, your tomorrow's are being counted.

We're getting down the minutes, hours, and seconds.

Amen.

Thank you, Lord, for using me as a vessel to do your will, not mine.

I will continue to pray for this council to bring justice to the oppressed.

Stop oppressing us.

Because every time you do, you dig a hole deeper for yourself.

And the money you come in here and steal, everything you buy.

I hope the hole that you're going in is big enough to fit everything that you buy with the money you steal from us, the ones you're oppressing.

In Jesus' name.

Amen.
