All in favor say aye. Aye. The agenda has been amended. Our next order of business is proclamations. Councilwoman Warburg. Yeah. Thanks.

Hey, can we have everyone come up from City Parks? So while they're coming up, this is for the 25th anniversary of Alphabet Trail and Tails. So yeah, come on over here. And just to say this is, you know, when I first moved to Pittsburgh, this was one of the first events, you know, and I think we maybe even just stumbled upon it at the time with the kids and it was like, what is this? This is amazing, you know, and it's such a beautiful event. It's so huge and that you put it on every year. So at any rate, I'll, you know,

I'll read this, so. Whereas, since 2000, Alphabet Trail and Tales has showcased the best in early and elementary story books brought to life. Each year, Alphabet Trail and Tales invites nonprofits, schools, and organizations with a family focus to celebrate 26 life-size letters of the alphabet with zany fun from A to Z, with interactive story sets, art, music, games, and fun for the whole family. And whereas, conceived as Story Walk by Lori Moser, a board member of the Beginning with Books Early Literacy Center, the event is known today as Alphabet Trail and Tales. And whereas the trail covers a half-mile campus on an old Victorian golf course, providing the perfect setting for the event for more than 5,000 children and families annually. More than 80 books, including Caldecott Medal winners, have been brought to life at the event over the past 25 years. And whereas the Alphabet Trail and Tails event is supported by City Parks, Community Recreation, the Department of Public Works, 3rd Division, City Carpenters, Department of Public Safety, and a dedicated staff of community artists, educators, and volunteers. And whereas this year's Alphabet Trail and Tales will occur on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Frick Park Blue Slide Playground. Alphabet Trail and Tales will feature books such as Riding Magic by Kelly Starling Lyons, Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies by Carolyn Crimmie, This is Your Class Pet by Troy Cummings, and many more. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh does hereby declare September 12th, 2026 to be Alphabet Trail and Tails Day in the City of Pittsburgh.

May we have a motion to approve?

So moved. Second.

All in favor say aye.

May we have a motion to approve?

Second. All in favor say aye.

Aye.

Proclamations have been approved. Our next order of business is public comment. I would like to remind everyone that the rules of council state that comments are limited in matters of concern, official action, or deliberation, which may be before city council. Profanity will not be permitted. After you recall, please restate your name. Provide your neighborhood for the record. Our first registered speaker is Matthew King.

I can just start.

Give us your name, neighborhood. Once you do that, your time will begin.

My name is Matthew King, and I'm from Dormont Borough in Allegheny County. Here I am. Good morning, President and members of City Council. My name is Matthew King, and I'm a resident of Dormont Borough in Allegheny County. I pay attention to what's happening here in Pittsburgh, and there's a lot worth being proud of. We have new leadership in Pittsburgh, a new mayor, a new head of the Department of Public Safety, as well as a new assistant and a new police chief. I've watched the city invest in neighborhoods and take on major projects and events. I believe in recognizing progress when I see it. Because I care about this region, I also believe we have to look honestly at the things that aren't working. So I'm going to be completely honest about who I am. I am a convicted felon. My original charges date back to the early 2000s. I was a very young man when I entered the adult system. There were non-violent drug offenses involving marijuana. I made mistakes, I accept responsibility for them, and I accepted the consequences. I completed three years of adult probation, including regular reporting and other court-ordered requirements without a single violation. But I didn't let those mistakes redefine the rest of my life. I left Pittsburgh. I built a career. I became a head sommelier, certified in two aspects of the area of knowledge. Then in the summer of 2024, I came home to Pittsburgh to help my mother. And I ended up back in this system. For nearly two years, I've gone through police departments, courts, administrative processes, and government offices trying to get answers. I've been through the system. I know what it looks like from the inside. And I've learned that going through the system and getting accountability from the system are two very different things. I'm not here to tell you my entire story. Three minutes isn't enough. It's not enough for anyone. I'm here to tell you that I have documentation. I have police reports. I have court records. I have transcripts. I have 911 recordings. And ultimately, this isn't just about what happened to me. It's about what happened when a citizen raises a documented concern and asks whether the policies and procedures governing our police department are actually working the way they should. Because if navigating the system is this difficult for someone willing and able to spend nearly two years asking questions. May I have more? Just finish? Sorry. If you have written comments. Because if navigating is difficult for someone willing and able to spend nearly two years.

That's okay. If you have written comments, you can submit them to the clerk.

I just have about 30 seconds left in my.

Unfortunately, I have to give everyone the same amount of time. Your time has expired. Thank you. Thank you. Our next registered speaker is Dr. Ronald M. Miller.

Dr. Ronald M. Miller, USAPA, Pittsburgh Steel City, Southside Flats, Jones and Laughlin Steel. My father worked that neighborhood. worked in that mill. USAPA Bethlehem Steel City, south side Bethlehem Steel neighborhood. State of Palestine, Bethlehem. Nativity Grotto, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, all share it as a sacred site. Global Intelligence Society candidate for President of the United States, 1448AH, or 2028 HCE. alt-government advocate, which has nothing to do with what happened in Germany. I oppose what they do completely. My PC focus today has to do with the concerns of counsel that are expressed in proclamations. A concern of this counsel is very clearly insinuation of pro-religious information and intelligence into his public statements and actions. Consider the Salonetro inauguration 5 January 2026 Is this a Pittsburgh Home Rule Charter 806 impeachable pattern? I think so, yes, except for the proclamations of Deborah Gross, which are completely neutral, which I respect. For our concern regarding ultimate value frameworks, I take this from the theologian Tillich and the sociologist Parsons. I, the CGSII and GIS use ultimate value because we think it is more neutral than religion. Ultimate value includes religious and non-religious ultimacy issues, both. I now have 1,000 proclamations. in our files that are divided according to the councilor of districts. The UV Counsel procs for individuals like imams and rabbis and institutions like mosques and synagogues show pro are 88 out of 1,000. But the UV counselor procs for non-religions are zero out of 1,000. Now, do you think that there are no atheists in this city? This is an extraordinary bias. So we think that this is consistent with malfeasance and corruption. And we are going to pursue this, with the exception of the proclamations on UV that have to do with Ms. Gross from District 7.

Thank you. Our last registered speaker is Dylann Baseski.

Hello, Dylan Basescu, Southside Flats.

Thankfully, the lockdown of the South Side is coming to an end this weekend, so this will be my last time speaking to you on this issue, hopefully for good. But we'll see. In this time, I've told you about the oppression this experiment has inflicted on us, the surveillance, the racism, the harassment, the destruction of local commercial and civic life, but yet nothing whatsoever befitting a city of neighbors. And in that time, I have not asked much from you all, because I realize that you are not extraordinary people. You are the ordinary crop of an ordinary place of people just trying to go about their lives in peace and fraternity. I have asked only a measure of courage from you, not to be unafraid when you show it, but to stand up for the decency, equality, and free movement of everyone in this city, even when you are afraid to, because this is what ordinary people are capable of, and it is what little we expect of you. But we hear nothing in response. Week after ignominious week, the walls come back, the barricades go up, for shame. And I realize, for many of you, this is a matter of member deference. And I understand it is a comedy you show one another. That makes the solution to this pretty simple. So Bob Charlon from District 3, one of the architects of this plan, this is for you. You don't lock down your neighbors, not in this city. Raise all the money you can from the businesses and the corporations behind you, put it in a big chest, and guard it well, because we're coming for your job.

Thank you. 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 your neighborhood for the record. You'll be given three minutes to speak.

Good morning, Speaker. My name is Patrick Robinson. Resigns in the Hill District. I'm here today on the behalf. This is my fourth time coming due to the UPMC lawsuit that I actually filed back in 2008. Actually, I sued UPMC due to discrimination. The police officers over there pulled guns out on me once one of my other twins was born on June the 5th. A twin was deceased by one of the doctors gave the kid's mom the wrong medicine in 2020 December. After then, I went to the commission, human relations department, and the commission actually mediated. And once they mediated, UPMC offered to give me a plaque. They gave me a plaque. They told me, since I was an artist, that I can draw the ultrasound of my son and place it in a hospital, where they didn't honor that agreement. Therefore, they put place the plaque they bought themselves and put in the basement they continued to call the police which they poured guns on me and said that i was banded from the hospital of which i wasn't never banded after then it was just continuing harassment i kept coming to the commission human relations department they and i was frustrated they ended up ended term of the agreement. Therefore, I've been all over the place trying to find lawyers. The lawyers in Pittsburgh would not take the case of medical malpractice. The commission violated and put the medical malpractice, which I filed the federal lawsuit, and they put it inside of a discrimination case. It's totally misrepresentation and it's against a policy. There's been so many slandering and there's been so much chaotic going on with UPMC, threading through letters. They also took the plaque down in the hospital. It was very disrespectful of my son, Patrick Robinson, Jr. With this being said, I've been really searching for a law to be implemented and also to follow within city hearing. That is what I'm offering now. So they owe me $130,000 for $65K for each year. With that being said, that was an honor. Also with housing, I gave up my housing. Now I'm in Section 8. They told me that they Charity and Foundation would offer for rent to own, which was a lot. I was being paid $1,600 for a house that they paid rent for two and a half years. I just moved a week ago. With that being said, I'm looking for a law and I'm looking for a hearing. That's what I'm asking for, to see the pitchfork and also follow the lawsuit. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please.

Good morning, children. My name is Yannick Brown. Welcome back from your extended holiday. I hope it was everything that our kids did not get. I hope your extra rest and relaxation was delightful because while y'all were out enjoying yourselves, the Hill District was still dodging traffic in that unfinished disaster of a so-called construction site on Center Avenue and Kirkpatrick Street. First off, why do adults that make over $92,000 need extended holiday breaks while kids have to return to school the day after the holiday? And I asked you very clearly to fix Center and Kirkpatrick. Not suggested, not hinted, not whispered. I asked directly, on record, in English, loud enough for the people in the back and the ones that keep their backs turned to hear me. And yet, here we are. Still no sidewalks, no safe walkway. So I'll ask you slowly now, children, because speed clearly isn't something that y'all are good at. Why is this still not done? I asked you to fix it. The neighborhood asked you to fix it. So what exactly are we waiting on? a memo and crayon so y'all can understand it better. Let's be honest, if this were happening in a neighborhood where folks make over $90,000 and get those extended holidays you all love so much, the street would have been fixed before anybody even hit one of y'all inboxes. But when it's our neighborhood, suddenly everything moves slower than the DOV line. Suddenly a sidewalk is optional. We expect action. We expect the same basic respect you give to the neighborhoods that magically get fixed before anyone even notices a crack. So today's assignment, children, is to act like adults and do what is just simple human rights. Sidewalks are not luxury. Finished streets are not a privilege. Safety is not something we should have to pay for.

Thank you. Next speaker, please.

Good morning. My name is Ron F. Brown. I live at 715 Mercer Street. That's the high rise up on Bedford, the top of Bedford Avenue with 190 apartments. I've come down here today because I'm afraid, very afraid. In the building where I live, I know I told you that I've been threatened by Rosita McKinley. Now, her mother moved out of the building. She had been banned from the building 20-20. 2022, my daughter and my oldest daughter, we went to management. This is 2026. And last week, when I was sleeping down in the basement, a woman walked past and I looked and it was Rosita. Her mother had moved and she's still coming in the building. I'm telling you this because when I went to the manager and told the manager that I was being threatened by this woman, she said, well, she don't talk to me like that. Well, I left because she didn't care. And what was she doing in the building anyway? She's been banned. I'm telling you this. I turned 80 in July, and there's no way I should be afraid to go in the building in which I live. And August, August the first, second, and third, she chased me. First and second, she chased me in the building. The third, her mother came and threatened me. When I went to the manager, she tells me that she doesn't, talked to her that way. And she told the citizens, the residents, when she was talking to the manager, the manager told her, don't come on my dime. So she does leave in the morning. She comes. She was up on the ninth floor. There's a man she beat with a stick that has cancer. He said he went to the manager and told the manager that she's knocking on my door. And he said, I don't ask her, but she's knocking on my door. When he went to her, she says, oh, forget about that. A lot of people think that those two are friends because Rashida said that the manager used to buy her crack. She used to buy my crack. Do you understand? I'm just saying this. I came down here to City Council because when I went to county, we went to, we have a, But I went to the president and said I'm being harassed. And what can I do about it? He said, we have nothing to do with it. But I go to the manager. I tell the manager what she's doing. Now, she comes a couple months and chokes the manager, and she don't go to jail. Yes, they're letting her get away with it.

Thank you. Next speaker.

Good morning, Special Agent Sunshine. Lord, thank you for destroying those, stealing and living off of my energy. In Jesus' name, amen. My energy is not for sale. So anybody living off of it, I curse you in your bloodline of death. In Jesus' name. When everything you buy from it is confiscated, don't pay the victim like you don't know why. They're coming for everything you buy off of my energy. In Jesus' name. U.S. Department of Justice, I'd like to file a civil rights violation complaint against the city of Pittsburgh. Why? I'm being harassed, illegally, aggressively gang-stalked everywhere I go. And section... 18 U.S. Section 242. That's the federal violation that's being violated. Please take extreme, severe action against the city of Pittsburgh for this injustice that I'm dealing with. It also involves identity theft fraud, mail fraud, and computer abuse fraud, which I incur every time I go to the library. LaBelle, you're on the board of the Carnegie Library, aren't you? So are several of the librarians that work there who hack every device that I'm on. That's computer abuse fraud, and that's a federal law that's being violated. Keep violating until they come. I pray they drag y'all by your throats out of those facilities. The last time I was here, I mentioned the 18 laws of discipline. The first one is never take a day off. Show up every day regardless of how you feel. Consistency is often more important than intensity. Why can't this meeting be on time? It's amazing. I got an award for showing up on time at the Georgia Medical Institute before my instructor. I got off on getting there before him, listening to his excuses for being late. Jesus is never late. He's always on time. He may not come when you want him to, but he's on time. The wisdom for today comes from Proverbs 11, 29. It says, he who brings trouble on his family will inherit only the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. Lavelle, Mosley, and everybody else, part of this identity fraud investigation. Luke 12, 2 says, there is nothing concealed that will not be... or hidden that will not be made known, like my identity, who I really am. Say my real name, LaBelle Mosley. Everybody in this council knows who I really am. Keep trying to hide it till it blows up in your face. In Jesus' name, amen.
