Good morning and welcome to the regular meeting of city council on Tuesday, March 31st, 2026. Will the clerk please take the role? >> Mr. Charland, >> Mr. Cogill, Miss Gross, Mr. Mosley >> here, >> Mrs. Salinetro >> here, >> Mrs. Strawber >> here, >> Mrs. Warwick >> here, >> Mr. Wilson, >> Mr. Lavell, President >> here, >> five members present. >> For those who are able, please rise for the pledge of allegiance. During our moment of silence, please keep uh Councilwoman Warwick and her family in prayer as they deal with the passing of her mother. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Our next order of business is to amend the agenda. Is there a motion to amend? So >> move. Second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Our next order of business is going to be public comment. I would like to remind everyone with Oh, I apologize. Our next order of business is actually we have a will of council from councilwoman Strawber >> autonomous vehicles >> in the entirety. Yes, please. >> Council person Strawberger presents whereas autonomous or driverless vehicles are expanding rapidly in cities across the United States with multiple companies now operating or testing commercial robo taxi services in dense urban environments. And whereas Pittsburgh has served as a proving ground for autonomous vehicle technology since 2016 when Uber's advanced technology group began testing on city streets, followed by Argo AI, Aurora Innovation, Aptive, and most recently Whimo, which began manual test drives in Pittsburgh in December 2025 and secured a PENDOT certificate of compliance in early 2026. And whereas Pittsburgh's transportation network includes steep hills, narrow neighborhood streets, over 440 bridges, aging infrastructure, heavy pedestrian and cyclist traffic, and challenging winter weather conditions that present unique con considerations for the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles. And whereas since 2021, autonomous vehicles operating nationally have been involved in reported crashes, roadway obstructions, and software related incidents. And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened multiple investigations into autonomous vehicle safety. And whereas federal oversight alone has not fully addressed localized concerns related to safety, labor displacement, traffic operations, emergency response coordination, and municipal planning associated with autonomous vehicle deployment. And whereas thousands of workers in the Pittsburgh region depend on driving based employment, including taxi, ride share, and delivery services. And the city of Pittsburgh has among the highest rates of taxi and ride hailing commuting of any major US city, making the local workforce particularly sensitive to char to changes in this sector. And whereas Pittsburgh is also home to a significant autonomous vehicle research and development sector with companies including Aurora Innovation in Whimo maintaining substantial local operations and the industry has created an estimated 6,300 jobs in the western Pennsylvania region since 2015. And whereas Pennsylvania currently lacks a comprehensive statewide regulatory framework governing autonomous vehicle deployment, safety reporting requirements, data transparency, labor impact mitigation, and coordination with municipal governments. And the city of Pittsburgh was not consulted or notified before Whimo announced its expansion into the city in December 2025. And whereas state level regulation would provide clarity, accountability, and consistency while ensuring that municipalities like Pittsburgh retain a meaningful role in protecting public safety, planning for infrastructure impacts, and in supporting affected workers. And whereas a formal review process conducted by the Commonwealth would allow policymakers to evaluate real world safety data, labor market effects, infrastructure readiness, and equity considerations before allowing the widespread commercial deployment of autonomous ride share vehicles. And now therefore, now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh hereby calls on the Pennsylvania General Assembly to investigate and establish a comprehensive regulatory framework and guidelines for driverless ride share vehicles operating in Pittsburgh and throughout the Commonwealth, including provisions for safety reporting, data transparency, labor transition support, and municipal consultation, and infrastructure impact assessment. May we have a motion to approve? >> So move. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> Council woman. >> Yes. So I I appreciate colleagues support on this. Um this is um uh as you can hear calling on greater um transparency and safety protocols and labor protocols as we shift as we see a shift towards more autonomous vehicles operating in cities across the the Commonwealth. Um, and while we acknowledge that act 130 of 2022, I believe does create a regulatory framework of sorts, it's very state focused, it cuts out municipalities um from decision-m and although there is mandatory safety reporting um to pendod, it doesn't mandate that same reporting to cities. Um there are no labor protections or transition support. There's no infrastructure impact assessment. um uh certificate holders um self-certify and the preeemption at the state level limits council's and and the municipalities um action here. So, uh I again I appreciate council member support of this will of council. >> Thank you. Any further discussion? >> If not, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Any oppose? The will of council has been approved. Now, our next order of business is public comment. I would like to remind everyone the rules of council of state that comments are limited. Matters of concern, official action or deliberation which may be before city council profanity will not be permitted. Our first registered speaker is Dr. Ronald Lin Miller. Please state your name. Provide your neighborhood for the record. You'll be given three minutes to speak. >> Dr. Ronald and Miller, uh, Pittsburgh, United States of America, Central Lawrenville neighborhood where, um, less than 7% of the people there are dark skinned individuals of African descent. Kumasi, Ghana, Adam neighborhood, more than 70% um are of African descent. Kumasi is in the Pittsburgh City Ally network which I founded and the the neighborhood Adam in the Pittsburgh city neighborhood network and world neighborhood network which I founded in 2025. Ghana UN New York mission email info at gyam mission.org or Global Intelligence Society candidate for president 2028 ACE 1448 ah um council concerns include a decrease in so-called black white race strife and a decrease in uh carbon emissions. One of my concerns in relationship to um the primary website which I use is global information intelligencetwork.net net um to decrease um the this strife and also to decrease uh carbon secretions and increase carbon sequestration. Um a race carbon link is this there um are no black skinned fully carbonized individuals in this city in this country or in the world. black, ebony, white, ivory, yellow, gold, bronze, brown, red, copper are all cultural constructs. And anyone can internalize the ideations and images from those cultural constructs. Whether they're willing to do so or not is a matter of dispute. Jazz is an example of how people outside of people who are of black African descent have um achieved a very high level of sophistication in in jazz using a logic structure. Um more than 70% of the kids at PPS Westinghouse have trouble with one um all DS individuals are black two Asian Sri Lanka president Anuro Kamarod is dark-kinned therefore um all of those and him AKD um he is and they are black, right? I challenge you to consider this very seriously. >> Thank you. Our next speaker is Joe Griffo. >> Good morning, Pastor Joe Griffo. And I'm here to speak against the ordinance of non-ooperation with ICE. The Bible teaches that the one who states his case first seems right until another comes and examines him. As constituents, we may present our side absolutely, but as legislators, you are duty bound to consider all sides of the matter without prejudice or emotion. Your standard is the Constitution and settled law. At county council, we were told of mass men plucking neighbors off the street, harassment, detentions, separations, and trauma. Although technically most are here unlawfully, but nevertheless, nevertheless and understandably, it is trying ordeal on families and on individuals. Those accounts have moved you to act, have had you up in arms, have filled you with righteous indignation and contempt even for federal agents such as ICE. Now, that's one side. But what's so frustrating and what's very telling is your complete lack of perspective and proportion regarding what's happening in the city, county, state, and nation when it comes to those here unlawfully who continue and have who have and continue to commit heinous crimes, especially in so-called sanctuary cities. There's no moral equivalence here. Your worldview causes you causes you to ignore significant difference in context, intent, and magnitude. On the one hand, you're up in arms creating ordinances that ban cooperation as some are detained, arrested, and even deported. Understandable. Yet, on the other hand, there's a deafening silence, a refusal to acknowledge, and a failure to demonstrate even one ounce of compassion, sympathy, concern, or a promise of justice to those whose lives have been forever and tragically altered by those here unlawfully. Those whose daughters and sons are never coming home. those who've endured trauma of the worst sort, even sexual assaults, kidnapping, and trafficking. They're not empty or hyperbolic claims that I'm making. It's not an appeal to emotion or to fear. I'm not being unably racist or anti-immigrant. Not at all. Simply the truth. As of July 2024, the House Committee on Homeland Security reported that among non-citizens, nearly 15,000 homicides convicted or charged, over 25 20,000 sexual assaults convicted and charged or charged. Over 3,000 kidnappings convicted or charged. Now, your high calling and primary duty is to protect and serve the citizens of the city and by extension county, state, and nation first and foremost. citizens who because of the actions you're about to take by definition become more vulnerable to the crimes mentioned above not only those crimes but others as well. So please consider all sides of the matter because God does and ultimately you will give an account to him. Thank you. >> Thank you. Our next speaker is Loretta Hoy. Let apologize. Latara Hoy. Miss Hoy is not with us. Our next speaker is B. Marshall. >> Hello. Good morning. So, I'm William Marshall and I live on the north side. Uh, first of all, I think I better say that nobody's illegal on stolen land. So, we're here to talk about uh the opportunities for small black businesses to be able to participate in this uh upcoming NFL draft or lack of opportunities. So, we applied with the city of Pittsburgh to get a permit to host our Pittsburgh draft bash, which has been stalled and not acted upon. It is crucial for black people in the city of Pittsburgh, small businesses and vendors to be able to benefit from the money that's coming inside this city. And we hope that you guys will will support our measures to make sure that we allow our black business vendors to participate in this draft. They see $215 million is coming into the city. Black vendors need to be able to share in that funding. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Margot Marshall. Good morning, members of city council. My name is Andrea Jones, owner of Zakat Fragrances, a proud small business here in Pittsburgh. I stand before you today not only as a business owner, but as a member of this community who votes, works, and invests in this city every single day. The people of Pittsburgh support this city year round. We vote, we pay taxes, we support local events, and we help drive our neighborhoods forward. In return, we expect transparency, fairness, and equal access to economic opportunities that take place in our own city. When major events bring re revenue and national attention to Pittsburgh, local small businesses should not be overlooked. We deserve a meaningful opportunities to participate and benefit from the growth we help sustain. We are paying attention. Our community wants to see leadership that listens, responds, and ensures fair inclusion for local vendors and blackowned businesses. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. Our next speaker is William Parker. >> Hello everyone. My name is Will Parker, candidate for United States Congress, District 12. It's official. I'm on the ballot. You can vote for me. But I'm here today, as always, I advocate and I fight for economic justice. I stand on business. So, I'm here to support B Marshall and his attempt to bring this vendor showcase downtown and allow people to see how beautiful our businesses are here in uh Pittsburgh. Um, we can't miss this mark. I'm asking every council member here to put in the word to the mayor, uh, put in the word to Dan Gilman and let him know how important this is. Uh the draft is going to come and it's going to go. But guess who's going to be here? Us Pittsburgers. And we're going to remember that we were denied an opportunity to attend. Some people have been selected, but some people have been left out. And we're here for those who have been left out. Like the lady before me just said, we want to participate and we should be allowed to participate and gain from this economic opportunity that's coming to our city. Thank you. Thank you. Our next speaker is Reverend Welch. >> Good morning, members of council. Uh Reverend Dr. John Welch. I live in the East Hills section of the city of Pittsburgh. Um I'm here for two reasons. one unexpected, but the expected reason why I'm here is to support the request for B Marshall and for all of the black businesses that have are attempting to vent during the NFL draft. Um, you may or may not have heard my comments yesterday, but I want to kind of state it in a much larger frame because this situation is a microcosm of a much larger problem we have in the city of Pittsburgh. And it deals with the fact that um black businesses, black individuals have long been oppressed and economic opportunities suppressed. And so it goes way beyond just electing a black mayor. It goes with and it deals with looking at the extensive history of this city all the way back to the 267 years of its founding and how racism has been allowed to per perpetuate throughout the culture, the ethos and the spirit of this city. So, I urge you to pay attention and and look at the history because perhaps there may be some whose genealogy ties to those slave owners that built this city. The second thing I want to say is in response to the gentleman who came up here and tried to use scripture and weaponize it to get us to think about or rethink um the cooperation with ICE. It has nothing to do with people who are here illegally. It has a lot to do with the tactics of an unregulated law uh law enforcement group. And so I would caution the gentleman who was here earlier to be careful how he uses scripture. Secondly, let's be careful how we label people as illegal because from what I'm seeing, it's the brown folks who are being accosted while there are folks who are undocumented that are here in this country that are from European origins. So, let's be mindful of that as well. Thank you. >> Thank you, Reverend. Our last register speaker is Bethany Cameron. >> Good morning, city council. My name is Bethany Cameron. I live in Overbrook and I'm here again representing informup.org, a local news nonprofit which reports weekly on public meetings, ask readers to weigh in on what matters to them, and delivers that feedback to elected officials like you. Our community survey ran from March 26th through 30th. 100 readers answered our survey questions and all nine council districts were represented. We asked readers about the police leadership academy revenue, the police dog amendment and land bank uh priorities. Number one on police leadership academy revenue model. We explained to readers that exploring becoming a revenue generating program by training officers from other jurisdictions was a possibility. We asked which outcome matters to you? Readers were evenly split between two priorities. ensuring Pittsburgh officers get priority access to training was uh 36% and keeping costs low for Pittsburgh taxpayers also got 36%. 7% favored either expanding the program's reach regionally or did not show a strong preference. A resident from East Liberty said, "It would be important to me to make sure profit doesn't become the driving motivation for the training program. It is most important to ensure Pittsburgh officers are properly trained to create better outcomes for everyone they interact with. Number two, police dog agreement relating to immigration enforcement. We told readers the city amended the police dog agreement to prevent visiting officers from participating in immigration enforcement while in Pittsburgh. We asked readers how they feel about the amendment. 78% of respondents somewhat or strongly supported the amendment. 13% somewhat or strongly opposed. Number three on land bank priorities. We asked readers, "What would you most prior most want the land bank to prioritize in your neighborhood?" 41% of respondents prioritize getting properties sold and back into productive use quickly. 32% prioritized ensuring affordable housing outcomes and 15% favored clearing dangerous or blighted uh structures. Resident from Squil Hill South said, "We need to stop tearing down the fabric of this city and start revitalizing it." And a resident from the upper hill said, "Start generating money by focusing on what can be sold now. Let stabilization be a second tier priority. If stabbing is an issue, you clearly can't do both." As usual, we will send a full report to your offices later today. Thank you for considering residents views on these important issues. >> Thank you. That exhaust that exhausts our list of registered speakers. If there's anyone in chambers wishing to speak, please come forward at this time. provide your name and neighborhood for the record. >> Special Agent Sunshine, the missing child, Sice Taylor. Homeless but not helpless. Forced to be here because of identity theft fraud by Leavell Prayer. Lord, here I stand on the promises of God. Thank you for your faithfulness. The title of my message is choose truth. Stop amending the agenda, Lefel, and do what you need to do today cuz your tomorrows are now being counted. Psalm 119:30 says, "I have chosen the way of truth. I have set my heart on your laws." The wisdom for today comes from Mark 4:22. And it says, "For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. Corrupt government officials, what you do in the dark comes to the light." How's that same sex sex ritual you're having uh before the meeting, Lavel? How's that working out for you? Nothing against the pride community, but if you're forcing this pride for same-sex relationships by bullying any of any kind, especially with children, paying them bride money and promising them the moon and the stars like positions like President Leave's government positions of any kind, the 100 trillion bolts of lightning that I pray for will come and strike you down in Jesus name. No matter how much pride you have, you will not continue to target anybody, especially children by stealing what they inherited from their ancestors and forcing them to be homeless and to become slaves while you live off what does not belong to you. This is judicial misconduct. The song for today comes from Kirk Franklin, Revolution. Do you want one with God? I don't think you do. Whoever is living off of my trust fund money, living in my estate, and has illegal guardianship slashconservatoryship over me, killed me twice on paper by fraud and got insurance money for my death twice along with having me married by fraud. And I'm not married. I never said I do to anybody. that will uh you're going to you're going into 100 trillion degrees of fire that I will not stop praying for until you're all exposed in Jesus' name. Now, continue targeting me, bullying me, slandering me, lying on me, and enlightening will come faster. I promise you it's not touching me. Warick's mother passing was another backfire from that voodoo. You better stop in Jesus name. Amen. >> Next speaker, please. >> Hi, my name is Anise Petite. I'm here I'm here on behalf of the black vendors. I am a vendor myself um personally and on um behalf of B Marshall's um consistency and there's persistency on trying to obtain um uh more than 75 vendor black vendor spots. Um I uh want to read something real quick and I've reached out to several politicians to no avail. That would be Summer Lee's office. They did call us back, but um there was no um real response given, you know, trying to reach out to some black politicians to help us and assist us. Um I want to read this real quick. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise and live out true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. Um, why do we continue to have to fight after slavery was 400 years we were in slavery and we're still fighting? Why do we have to continue to um fight for spots, vendor spots or anything that um that black people or minorities um need? How come we can't just be equal to? Um why does it have have to be a black white thing? You know, we all live here. we're from Pittsburgh. We we are entitled to the monetary um uh benefits as well as brickandmortar businesses. Also, um I think that um whoever is in charge of the NFL draft or um the procedure need to rethink this thing. There's $250 million going to hit this city and over a hundred vendors have been turned down through um B Marshall. I personally had applied through the NFL source myself individually back in December and was turned down. Can't get any politician help. Um I also reached out to Governor Shapiro. His office said I had to deal with the local government. I'm okay with that. I did get an answer from that. But I think that um whoever's in charge need to rethink this thing. We're from Pittsburgh. We live here. We deserve an opportunity to make money like brick and mortars. We cannot afford that. Also, if there's any um young black violence in the city, give them something to look forward to. Like there's black businesses down here for the NFL draft. Maybe it'll give them something to have hope for. You know, if it's all white, then that's what they always see. Give us a chance. give B Marshall a chance. Allow us the opportunity to um get monetary um um you know what I mean money compensation for us opportunity. >> Thank you. Next speaker please. >> Ne next next speaker please. >> Hi Vern from Beach. I wanted to first say they have a new staff member up there at the senior center. Delightful girl. She seems to fit in very nicely. Um the the day the day that um there was the Macing downtown. I just happened to be there trying to get to get medicine. I had mentioned that last week, but this past weekend I was down there again. Kudos to the officer who just kept circling Market Square. This group of teenagers, one of them has very long pink and white braids down to her kneecaps. Um, they stand out. They were harassing the the restaurants that are around Market Square. He went over. He told the kids, "He doesn't want you here." So they move down further. There's an ice cream shop. I sat there and I watched these teens harass people going in and out the door just to get ice cream. When they came out, they were harassing them. I've never I am a defender of Market Square of of downtown Pittsburgh. Usually you had Marty Griffith crying and exploiting the homeless. This is bad. And I don't know what the answer is. I don't know if we can get if you can get pictures, send them to the schools, have the schools identify who they are, bring them in with their parents, find their parents every single day that their kids are out in the streets. I don't know what the answer is, but I don't know how this is going to mesh with the NFL people coming into the city. It's going to be bad. I've never seen t teens this bad before. Um, to this so-called pastor, I thank I am grateful that this city is not cooperating with ICE. I will be the first to say that ICE is nothing more than a new name of the Nazis. I grew up in Mount Lebanon. I heard the stories from the Kubin family to to the to the Schlitz family who shared with me that their mothers had to be put my best friend's mother had to be put in a wooden crate with her cousin and shipped out of Nazi Germany just to live. And I am very proud that this city is not cooperating with the Nazi ICE. I'm sorry. This right here, I'm illegal. The Mexican, we need to go back and look at the history books that they want to take out of the schools because we are illegal, not them. >> Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. >> Good morning. Um, my name is Lana Adams and I work downtown. I'm also a member of 32BJ. I'm a cleaner downtown. Um, I use ride share apps to supplement my income and I'm here today because to me it's crazy that we are even talking about allowing robots to do something as important as drive people around in Pittsburgh. Um, I don't want to ride in one of those cars and I've had ample opportunity to do so. Um, I did a test drive on a Tesla when they were in Waxford and she asked me if I wanted to uh let the car drive us. Absolutely not. Um, Pittsburgh's roads are already present enough challenges for human drivers. We have the steep hills, the narrow winding streets, sudden weather changes, and unpredictable construction zones as part of the daily life. And we all probably know about uh the southside slopes. Uh just driving there alone, it can be challenging. Um if experienced local drivers have trouble, how can we trust that autonomous vehicles programmed from afar will safely handle these unique risks? You need sense to drive here, not programming. In cities like San Francisco and Phoenix, studies have shown that the roll out of autonomous taxis lead to reduce earnings for ride share drivers such as myself, which could push push some of us out of those jobs altogether. In San Francisco, the transport authority has to fight to get data from ro robo tax companies, relying on 911 calls and social media to piece together an understanding of their impact. And only data on collisions is recorded as safety data. Meaning incidents like the blocking of emergency vehicles are not uh comprehensively recorded or analyzed. Legalizing autonomous ride share drivers, threatens to displace thousands of essential transportation workers, many of who are immigrants and people of color who rely on this work to support their families and community. While big tech companies like Whimo pri prioritize their own profits, the city must prioritize community safety and families ability to earn a living. We have the power to ensure that outofstate tech billionaires do not take over our city even more than they already have. I urge the Pittsburgh City Council to take concrete steps to protect our community. This means pausing the roll out of autonomous vehicles until thorough public hearings can be held to assess the real impact on safety and local jobs. I am also asking you to require strong protections for Pittsburgh ride share drivers so that working family families are not left behind. Thank you so much for passing the will council. >> Thank you. Next speaker, please. >> Good morning, council of delayed responses. You're not children to me anymore. Children actually have hearts. Every time I come here, I notice one thing that's consistent. Y'all laugh, y'all shrug, and y'all make little sad comments after someone speaks. I didn't realize people coming to speak about real issues was y'all entertainment. If and chuckles fix problems, this city would be perfect by now. But they don't. They don't go away because they're delayed. I want to talk to you about something that's eating my soul. And y'all know what it is. The way y'all responded to that white woman that I brought. Nobody ever gave me a packet. I don't know who tapped me on my shoulder and said, "Call the office." Like, that was just really corny that y'all tried to act like y'all cared about me when y'all really cared about her. And come to find out, she lied about what she was going through, but I didn't. But y'all still ain't checking on what's going on with me. It's questions that can be easily answered. Y'all can easily call and get something fixed. Oh, wow. Am I boring you? Like, I'm over this way. Why do we got a face y'all and y'all don't even look at us? What is he doing like sleep anyway? This isn't just about policies. It's about where my children has to grow up and their voice should matter. Delays don't just slow things down. They expose priorities. I'm done calling you children because honestly that's an insult to children. Children care. Children grow. Children learn from their mistakes. And they have empathy. What you are is people who know better and choose not to do better. Unless a white woman comes up here. At this point, I'm not sure if this is really a counsel or a master class on how to avoid responsibility. You want to hear some jokes, though, since y'all want to laugh at me? If ignoring problems was a job requirement, you all put me over qualif, laugh, and do nothing. Y'all don't miss a chance to laugh at the disrespect. Y'all don't y'all don't miss a chance to laugh and disrespect us, but somehow you keep missing chances to lead. This isn't a comedy show. But if it was, the joke would be accountability because y'all do nothing. Nothing. Y'all didn't do nothing for me. I'm going to do it for myself, but this is ridiculous. If you over there, you don't make We over here, sir. Thank you. Damn. Next speaker, please. >> Um, good afternoon, council. My name is William Anderson. I live at 7035 Chaucer Street in Pittsburgh, 15208. I'm also the chair of the Alageney County Democratic Black Caucus, and I'm chief of staff for the Democratic National Committee Black Caucus. I am here to address um what other speakers prior to me have spoken about this NFL draft and the lack of opportunity for African-Americans to profit and benefit from what is pledged to be $250 million coming into the city. Um as African-Americans, we know as because of all the studies that were done in the past that we are worse off in the city of Pittsburgh in the Pittsburgh region than anywhere else in the country, right? We complain about our youth, you know, misbehaving downtown and areas and things like this. And we all know that poverty is the greatest, you know, cause of violence in, you know, bad behaviors, right? A lot of their parents have to work two to three jobs to make ends meet and don't have the proper um, you know, security and things like that to be able to properly take care of their children. And if we are to give opportunities like this for their parents and people in their family to be able to make money from a million-dollar industry that is coming to our city and bringing hundreds of thousands of people that would send a message both to our community and to the children that we actually care about them and their parents. So, I'm asking for greater opportunity for African-Americans to benefit from the NFL draft that is coming to our into our city that we have spent millions of taxpayers dollars to prepare for that we have, you know, advertised and that we are highlighting to the world that, you know, Pittsburgh is the most livable city. But we must make sure that Pittsburgh is not just only the most livable city for some, but is the most livable city for all. And that all residents of the city are able to benefit from things that come into this city, especially when taxpayers dollars are used to bring and to seek out these type of events. Right? as we are going to be a showcase for the world. It is not going to be a good look for the world to see that African-Americans in a 20 that are 24 to 25% population of the city of Pittsburgh are, you know, purposefully excluded from profiting from and benefiting and creating their own businesses and expanding those businesses through a $250 million, you know, entity that is coming to coming into the city. So, I'm asking that, you know, the council of the city of Pittsburgh that um you know, the county council and all of our elected officials do their due diligence and do as much as they can to make sure that African-Americans are not just being employed by the NFL draft, right? as we know that most of the players that play in the NFL are African-Americans, that we are able to be employers and be able to expand our networks and to be able to help build generational wealth as other, you know, entities are being able to do. So, thank you for your time. >> Thank Thank you. Next speaker, please. >> Hi, everyone. My name is uh Patrick Robinson. I'm a uh citizen in Pittsburgh, live on the Hill District. Also come down here to this morning to address the uh situation about the kids about the kids meeting up downtown Pittsburgh this weekend and actually for the rest of our lives. We have to stop this city Pittsburgh. I actually was born in Compton, California, raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I've was a part of a gang wish I would have never been a part of the crips. I'm now artist. I'm now a entrepreneur. I'm now filming. I want to bring something to these kids as famine. We can put a series together for at least 20 years to take up the time when they get out of school when they over the weekend. We have spring break coming. We also have the summit coming. We alo we also have the winter coming. Therefore, the ski masses we got downtown. We got all across Pittsburgh, Alageney County, Pennsylvania. It starts at home with our kids. I have 10 kids. Six daughters, four sons. I've been shot in the head, the wrist, twice in the back, and the leg. Five holes in them. I'm not two part. Where do it stops at? We have to stop right here. We have to start right here. We got funds with film. We got We got grants, big grants with filming. Why we can't target the filming grants? Let's give these kids a incentive from $300 to $5,000. We target the ones that have this criminal mindset of irrational. We take that, we give them something. They want something. We have to give them something. My whole thing is my target. We have the uh community development up here on the Hill District. We got plenty counselings all across four sides of town. The west side, east side, south side, the west the uh east side, east side of town. We can reach out to each one of these individual with public safety. Give them some type transportation because they're taking over portter. They're getting out of school. They're deep. I'm out on the transit. So that that time frame, why can't we just come together, give them something, take up the time of downtown, not just downtown or the NFL draft? I'm a small business. I would love to get funds to help these kids and to stop the extra shenanigan within the kids. Another thing is with the NFL draft, I feel like all over Pittsburgh, within the city, we need to come together with some type of golf course for golf carts for the veterans, for the handicaps. I've been reaching out to golf courses to get these carts. I'm on the Hill District. It's plenty areas up there. We have plenty of churches coming together because RV vans are coming in. They wants to really like give these peoples convenient room to actually sleep in the city. With that being said, you can find me at trust t r u s t lo occ 6 gmail. I'm willing to help the kitty the kids out. Thank you. Thank >> Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. My name is Chad Ring Bloom from the South Hills. Jonah 3:4-6 says, "Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey, and he called out, "Yet 40 days in Nineveh will be overthrown. And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest of them to the least of them. I confess to you whenever God calls me to bring bring his word to bear upon the issues that you try you guys try to tackle, I'm very tempted to go in the opposite opposite direction as Jonah did. When I look at this on the surface, it's depressing. It's a depressing thought that I that I come and speak truth and you'll harden your hearts as you did with your ordinances making Pittsburgh a sanctuary for child sacrifice and what you call gender affirming care. Now you seek to make Pittsburgh a sanctuary for the illegal immigrant. There are obvious problems with what DH DHS is doing in their approach to to deporting illegals. One practice I find particularly damning is showing up to the immigration court to arrest people who are trying to go about it the honest way. That's reprehensible. And I'm willing to admit it. It's reprehensible. We're not We're not here, believe it or not, we're not here because we're partial to ICE or partial to Donald Trump. We're here because we advocate for true justice. And if you actually stood against those practices, the true church would stand with you. But the truth is, you really don't. In practice, you show that you love that they're doing this stuff because it affords you the ability to to capitalize on a crisis and ferment chaos. How do I know? Your answer to a lawless practice is more lawlessness. We're quick to hear stories of families being torn apart, but I hear crickets from you every time an illegal murders or rapes a citizen. You clam up when a family's torn apart after you find out that daddy wasn't simply undocumented, he also had a weapons charge. Rather than work to change the law, you encourage stonewalling, which is equally as unproductive, and showing up as showing up in immigration courts to round up immigrants. Breakdowns in communication between law enforcement agencies have led to countless mass shooters illegally obtaining firearms that they wouldn't have had those agencies simply communicated. A breakdown in communication between members of CBP on site is what led to Alex PR's death. Had the officer communicated that he had disarmed Freddy, Freddy would still be here. And yet you want less communication, less cooperation. Now, I'm not Jonah, and you certainly aren't the people of no N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N Nineveh, but just like they were, just as they were, you're lost and in sin. And just like them, God sent his people here today to call you to repentance. The same God who sent Jonah sent his son into the world to take on the pe to to to take on the sins of his people and laid down his life. >> Thank you. >> It's the same. >> Next speaker, please. that we remember that we remember this week. >> My name is Javon F. Brown. I live at 715 Mer Street. That's the highrise out on Beford, the big tall highrise with 190 apartments in it. I wanted to say, and I usually don't um start off, but I wanted to say that Will just left here. Now he's running for state representative and I'm saying to the citizens and to you that we should support him. I know him and Stevens are that titan. I don't care for Stevens because of the way that you have let him a citizen that can make rules and can get money from Yens to have his hearing. Do you understand? I know that one time somebody gave him $500 and another one gave him a hundred. So that's excuse me $600 to have his meeting here. But he doesn't pay for these lights and gas and I mean all this in here. What is the $600 for? The reason why I'm against it is because he runs the meeting, but he picks what questions can be asked. And that should not be if you're getting money from my my neighborhood, I should be able to ask whatever question I want. If not, if I have a question, everybody in the room should say whether they want to hear the question or not. Not Not just Tim. He's a citizen just like me. You understand that? There's no way. Do you understand what I'm saying? I I can't believe that he can get $600 and I can't ask the question I want to unless I write it down for him to okay it. Come on. Think about that. He's a regular citizen like me. How come I can't have a a hearing? Or you just give me $600 and let me have a hearing? And I would take and um make signs. I would have all type of stuff to show you that I'm using your money for this meeting. But anytime that Tim is the only one can make the decision on what questions are asked. Come on. That got to be changed. Now I know he's no longer president. There's a female coming and when I talk to her, I'll tell her the same thing. But I find out, oh yeah, he gets money for I mean he he gets a salary. He gets a salary for his um organization. I'm going to try to start one. Can I get a salary, too? >> Can I get a salary, too? I'm sort of joking now, but But I I believe um I'm gone. I'm gone. I'm gone. >> Thank you. Next speaker, please. >> Hello. I'm Rick Smith from North Oakland District 8.
