Thank you. For those who are able, please rise for the pleasure of allegiance. Remain standing for a moment of silence.

Pleasure of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

Thank you. Our next order business is to amend the agendas or motion to amend.

So move second.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed? Our agenda has been amended. Our next order business is public comment. I would like to remind everyone that the rules of the Council state the comments are limited matters of concern, official action or deliberation, which may be for City Council. Preferring will not be permitted after your call. Please restate your name. Provide your neighborhood for the record. You'll be given three minutes to speak. Our first registered speaker is Noah Nixon. Is Noah Nixon with us? If not, our next speaker is Avery Garrett. Is Avery Garrett with us? If not, our next speaker is Dr. Ronald Miller.

Dr. Ronald Miller, United States, Pittsburgh, Polish Hill, Bloomfield. The Islamic Center of Pittsburgh is up there. ICPGH. Concern of this council is diversity and inclusion. Isn't that right? One of my concerns as a candidate for president, 2028 A.C.E. and 1448 A.H. after Hijra, diversity, initiative six, city ally and country alliance, but with particular emphasis on the first. Pakistani Pittsburghers show our diversity. Pakistan, Islamabad, Kata 10 neighborhood, International Islamic University, IIU, IB. Saudi Arabia. Pittsburghers show the diversity of the city. Saudi Arabia. Medina. Al Jamiyah neighborhood, the Islamic University of Medina, IUM. Pakistan, Islamabad, Saudi Arabia, Medina are in the PCAN, the Pittsburgh City Ally Network, and the Pittsburgh City Neighborhood Network, which I founded in 2025. The IIUIB, IUM, are in the Pittsburgh City University World Network, which I founded most recently. The IC Pittsburgh, Councilor Clements, do you have a link with the Islamic Center in San Diego? I'm concerned about this because I don't know that you are more pro-Christianity and Judaism and less so for Islam. The Tree of Life situation led to condolences. I think that's warranted in this case. At the universities I've mentioned, the core text is the Quran. I have a CGSII Arabic-English version of the Quran, which we use in the program of education course, Introduction to Global Religious Studies. The Quran, with the Torah, and the Christian Gospels, are taken by the IC, by the IIU, I-B and I-U-M, and Christian Liberty University in the United States to be theologically infallible, although the Koran may be excluded by L-U. And by all of them, including log-churcher Saul Netro, to be inerrant, which it is not. Thank you.

Our next speaker is Bethany Cameron.

Good morning council members. I am Bethany Cameron. I still live in Overbrook and I'm here representing informup.org, a local news nonprofit which reports weekly on city council meetings and asks readers to weigh in on what matters to them and then delivers that feedback back to their elected officials like you. This week we have feedback from 89 residents in all nine council districts. We covered three issues. How to use additional 4th of July funds, where to put new pogo stations, and which city records residents want to be able to access online. Number one, on how to use additional 4th of July grant funds beyond fireworks, 27% of residents wanted more live music or performances. 22% wanted free food or vendors, 18% chose accessible viewing areas for people with disabilities, and 17% wanted to see more activities for families and children. Lastly, 16% wanted more community organization booths. A resident from District 1 in Central Northside offered construction a constructive addition, saying transportation to and from viewing sites is what they would choose. Several residents pushed back on fireworks spending altogether. District 7 resident from Friendship wrote that the city should replace fireworks with a drone show as fireworks pollute and are triggering for many pets and humans. Number two, on where to add new Pogo bikes to your stations. 34% want stations anywhere in their neighborhood that don't already have stations nearby. That's the leading response. 21% prefer business or commercial corridors. Another 21% prefer locations near major bus or transit stops. And 12% wanted to see stations near schools, universities, or libraries. A resident from District 5, Squirrel Hill South, emphasized the network design, saying, all of those locations are fine. What I want is a network in which stations in all those places are a reasonable distance apart, reasonably close to each other, like a five to ten minute ride. And District 1 resident from Troy Hill was opposed, saying, I'd rather see more money go to fireworks than to bikes. I've rarely seen them used, only maybe two or three at a time. Number three, on which city records residents most want to access online? The top records residents want to see were 17% selected infrastructure records, like roads, pipes, and utilities. Another 17% chose property and permit history. 15% chose neighborhood zoning and land use decisions. The one comment we received on this question came from a District 9 resident in Park Place who asked for transparency on, quote, the amount of asphalt used in city projects. I will email the full report around to your offices later today. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Thank you. Our next speaker is Renee Wilson. Is Renee Wilson with us? If not, our last registered speaker is Ikohana Haimaukina. You're currently on mute. There we go.

Greetings and good day. My title is Chief Ekalana Hal-Makena. I am the Grand Institute of Air Force Confederacy of Aboriginal American People. What we need from city council members and the mayor and public safety director is to come up with meaningful steps that protect our youth, that engage our youth, that gives them constructive things to do, trades, deals, entertainment, things that are thoughtful and mindful for them. And I've been urging this very city council time and time again of this very issue. And enough is enough. These conditions were caused because of Your disinvestment in these very youth that we are at the table now being reactive instead of proactive about. The truth be told, some of these teens are bored. Some of them are facing homelessness and dealing with homelessness. And some of them are obviously hungry. Anytime you feel that you have to take something from the store, there's an issue right there. There's no... the prize to anyone at times are hard. And that's where that money could go to. That stipend that you were mowing over, Lavelle, Councilman Lavelle, would do good by some of these single parents and moms and dads who are struggling out here and struggling to engage and find something for their children to do. Be proactive instead of and coming to you and begging to you, begging you for assistance, for you to do something. I myself like that one of those teams to city council to speak about this very topic and yet no engagement. You all have egg on your face. as animals and treat them like they're adults.

Thank you very much. That exhausts 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 your neighborhood for the record.

Good morning, Council of Delayed Accountability, Selective Urgency, and Disappearing Transparency. I want to say welcome back to the camera person, obviously from vacation, because I don't know why it took until 8 o'clock this morning to post yesterday's video. Yesterday, my name is Eunice Brown. Yesterday, this room was full of people begging y'all, well, the two of y'all that showed up, begging y'all to pay attention to what's happening in to our communities. and our city. We've stood here talking about these vape stores multiplying through our neighborhoods like poison on every corner. We talked about our children being surrounded by this mess every day. People spoke yesterday with passion, fear, and frustration because they are tired of watching these neighborhoods get ignored until it's too late. This morning, I'm appalled. Every single time this meeting ends, the live stream suddenly goes private. A public meeting somehow becomes unavailable to the public the minute council adjourns the meeting. People are forced to sit around waiting for council to decide when our words deserve to be seen again. That makes no sense. publicly, why does it disappear? And the public has to wait hours just to re-watch public comment. Yesterday, like always, I walked out this room, and because y'all have no real business that y'all work, and the meeting's only in and a half an hour after we speak, and y'all say, okay, it's done. I couldn't even watch what I said walking out this door because the meeting ended. Like, if you... That's uncalled for. People take time out of their lives to come speak. And since y'all don't pay attention, the least y'all can do is make sure that it's out there for other people to look at it. I wanna know who is in charge of, or who decided that the video should go private after the meeting ends. hours or maybe even a whole day to access our own comments. Like, why? Y'all ain't talking. So it's not like they have to check and see what's going wrong or whatever y'all call it. I'm mad so I can't think of the words right now, but this don't make no sense. A whole day. Because usually I wait until the end of the day and I can see my comment, but now it was a whole day.

Thank you. Next speaker, please.

Good morning. My name is Yvonne F. Brown. I live in Katy, where Irv is, Towers. That's the apartment building up at the top of Bedford, 190 apartments. I want to clean some things up. I want to thank you because I see that the 81 The bus that I had said to Mr. Lavelle that they were going to take, they were stopping, well, you said no. And I thank you because it was in our community. It would come up to the high rise. Thank you again. It appears that the traffic signals on 5th and Forbes Avenue does have an extended time. So when I came down and I had said for years to call or the bus drivers to call you about the short times of 23 to 28 seconds before the light to change, it has changed and I see that it has been extended. So thank you, whoever did it. You listened to what the people were saying. It wasn't me, it was the bus drivers, but I want to tell you, Mr. Lavelle, I want you to understand that you told me, this is years ago, that I could go to county council and speak. You also, well, I caught you on the elevator. We came up and you said, Ms. Brown, you keep coming and talking about the buses. Go to county council. Well, I did as you said. My councilman is... DeWitt Watson, this big, huge man. Okay. Okay. I go and the president listens to what I say. And he says, citizens, I mean, I'm sorry, to the members, members, we have a citizen that came down with a concern. He says, now what are we going to do? Are we going to take and write patent authority individually or do it collectively? Then he looked and he said, oh, DeWitt, that's your community. Will you call? This big man starts to holler, no, I will not. I live in the community. That's my community. I know what they need. They don't need the bus. They need security in KU Irvis. Okay. So then I came back because he told me that his best friend, who was Saludine's sister, she's dead and gone. This is maybe about 2018.

She's dead and gone.

We still don't have a bus or even a shuttle to go down to the bottom of the hill. This big man says he represents for all. Look, all these words he says, he fights for real progress. More affordable housing, maybe. Better jobs, maybe. And justice for all. Trust that all. I couldn't get justice. I could not get justice. Because he said, no. He knows what I...

Thank you. Next speaker, please.

Good morning, Special Agent Sunshine, The Missing Child, Cerise Taylor. How y'all doing? How was your holiday? It was good? Mine wasn't, because my grandfather, whoever he was, left me something, and he was in the military. Who's my real father, Mosley? Quit playing with me, because the angels that are protecting me will not be playing with you when they come for justice. I promise you. It doesn't make any sense. A holiday like Memorial Day passes, and you have family who's in the military, who served in wars, that tried to communicate with you before they passed, and that communication was blocked by somebody in this room. Your mail's stolen. You cannot communicate with this person, see them, meet them, say goodbye. This is my story. But I'm standing on a firm foundation. Thank you, Lord, for the shoes of peace that I wear. Because I will not retaliate against anybody firing darts at me, doing death rituals on me, still trying to take me out to keep what they have stolen from me, to keep stealing my trust fund money so that I continue to be homeless. While I'm homeless, I am determined to live in peace, mostly. So keep sending people to attack me and disturb my peace. Because God sees every last one of them and he hears you every time you do it. Lavelle, you're part of this too. It's amazing. There's a song, Put Your War Clothes On. That's the one I'm going to leave y'all with. When you're in traffic, please listen to that song by Virtue. Put your war clothes on. Take back everything that God gave you. In Jesus' name. I'm going to leave you with the full armor of God. Therefore, put on the full armor of God. It comes from Ephesians 6.13. So that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground. And after you have done everything to stand, stand firm then with the belt of truth, the best plate of righteousness. The shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of spirit, which is the word of God. And I'm so grateful to be standing here still, able to share with you the word of God. Because it seems like I'm the only one doing that. A couple people came in here and did it, but that wasn't their purpose. This is my purpose. I have a passion for telling people what he said. Because at eight, I wanted to know. I'm 62 now. Don't ever play with me about what he said. Because if you don't know what he said, I promise you, I'll put you in check. In Jesus' name, thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please.

Next speaker, please. See no further speakers. We'll turn to the presentation of papers, beginning with Councilman Charlton, Chair of Human Resources. More. Come on.

Then on Thursday, May 28th at 1.30, Council will hold a cablecast post agenda pertaining to Pittsburgh's noise ordinance as it relates to restaurants and bars shared by Councilperson Schwarzberger. To register to speak at this meeting, please fill out the sign-up form on the council meeting webpage or call the clerk's office at 412-255-2138. And I believe I had that last announcement wrong. I'm double-checking my schedule. Tomorrow at... No, it does say that. Councilperson?

Just to clarify, it's posted in the hearing, but it is not a public hearing, so we're not going to be taking public comment.

Gotcha. Okay. Thank you for the clarification.

That's my confused face. Everything else is right. Okay.

Thank you for the clarification. To register to speak at this meeting, please sign up for one on the Councilman's webpage or call the Clerk's Office at 412-255-2138. With that, motion to excuse the absent member, approve the minutes, and adjourn the meeting. All in favor say aye.

Aye.

We are adjourned.
