02:35that Paul had on so many lives, the

06:01>> Second. All in

06:01>> favor say I. I.

06:03>> Proclamation has been approved.

06:06[applause]

06:11I would like to invite anyone who would

06:14like to come up and say a few words to

06:15honor Paul to do so now.

06:22Anyone?

06:33>> Thank you. I'm I'm Paul's brother. Uh

06:36Dan. Um

06:39my brother uh came from the 13th ward,

06:42grew up in Brushton, and um in the 50s,

06:47lots of changes happened in the 13th

06:49Ward.

06:51Uh I think my brother really learned

06:55from the events that occurred there

06:59during that time that um you have to

07:02think about how you plan things in the

07:05city that affect other people and not

07:07just one place. Um and he he took that

07:11with him into his public service. I

07:14think that uh he was a self- aacing

07:17person

07:19uh but always uh had the public in mind

07:23when he uh was a public servant which he

07:26was for uh 40 years of his life. Um I'm

07:31just really grateful to the city for

07:33this recognition because he never would

07:36have uh found this recognition uh

07:38something that he was willing to take uh

07:41on himself. So thank you.

07:45[applause]

07:55So this is a day of celebration of

07:57Paul's life. Um you know I think that

07:59many here started in the mayor's office

08:01with an honor and then here and then

08:03over to Pittsburgh water offices for his

08:06uh recognition for his dedicated service

08:08to Pittsburgh water. Um, I would like to

08:11open it up just in the off chance that

08:13any council members have a memory or um,

08:15anything to say about him. No pressure

08:17if you don't. I just wanted to make that

08:19raise your hand if you do and I'll let

08:21you, you know, have a few words. The one

08:23thing I remember is he always in, you

08:26know, with his sense of humor. He always

08:28kept his eye on what was important most

08:31at Pittsburgh Water. He would remind us

08:33to say throughout the pandemic,

08:36throughout tough times with Pittsburgh

08:38water, we managed to continue to provide

08:41water to millions and millions of

08:43customers, right? That's a feat. Let's

08:45remember that. So, he kept his eye on

08:46what was most important despite the, you

08:49know, whatever tough um day-to-day

08:51decisions might be happening. And I have

08:53no doubt having worked with him for a

08:55little while at the city and having the

08:58opportunity to serve with him as a board

09:00member of Pittsburgh Water that um

09:02that's how he treated every one of his

09:04many many prestigious positions. So um

09:08we thank you all for being here. I think

09:10we would like to make sure to

09:11memorialize this moment with a photo

09:13with all council members up here as

09:15well.

10:54If Reverend Grayson, you and your family

10:56and your friends please come forward.

11:15So, Reverend Grayson certainly is a

11:18familiar face to this room. Um, so

11:22everyone here understands the

11:24importance. Um, and what I will say is

11:26he's already been recognized by

11:28President Obama for his work. So, this

11:30is rather small in comparison, but

11:32nonetheless, he's been serving this city

11:34for a very long time, and we thought it

11:36was important to both recognize his

11:38years of service as a minister and a

11:40pastor, um, as well as his service to

11:42the actual city of Pittsburgh. So, we

11:44just wanted to recognize you and thank

11:46you for all that you've done. Whereas,

11:48the Reverend Dr. Dr. Glenn Garrett

11:49Grayson Senior, a native of Brooklyn,

11:51New York, earned a bachelor of science

11:53in business administration from

11:54Livingston College, and earned a master

11:56of divinity from Hood Theological

11:58Seminary, completed clinical pastoral

12:01education at Carolina Medical Center,

12:03and received an honorary doctorate of

12:05human letters from Livingston College in

12:072023. And whereas after faithfully

12:10serving Third Creek and Shiloh Ame Zion

12:12churches, Reverend Grayson was appointed

12:14pastor of Wesley Censor Ame Zion Church

12:17in Pittsburgh's historic hill district

12:18in December of 1996 where his leadership

12:21strengthened the congregation, guided

12:23major renovations, and enabled the

12:25church to retire its mortgage in 2000.

12:27And whereas Reverend Grayson founded

12:29Center that cares, a nonprofit

12:31organization whose tutoring, enrichment,

12:33and youth development programs have

12:35served more than 13,000 students and

12:37families from pre pre kindergarten

12:39through college and whose growth led to

12:41the opening of a 14,000 square foot

12:43Deron Excration Community Center in

12:45memory of his son. And whereas his

12:47ministry extends far beyond the pool pit

12:49through leadership of the city's largest

12:51violence prevention program serves for

12:53people experiencing homelessness, a

12:55community cafe and garden, civic

12:56leadership, mentorship, and tireless

12:59advocacy for vulnerable children and

13:00families, earning him recognition by

13:02President Barack Obama as a White House

13:05champion of change in 2014. And whereas

13:08now therefore be resolved that the

13:09council of the city of Pittsburgh does

13:10hereby recognize and commend Reverend

13:13Dr. Glenn Garrett Grayson senior for 30

13:15years of devoted pastoral leadership at

15:28who does not talk about what they should

15:31do, what we can do, but he does that.

15:36about him. And when I look at the people

17:45speaker is Margarite Patrick

17:51>> here.

17:52>> Yep.

17:52>> Okay.

17:55>> All right. was stated. I am Margarit

17:57Patrick. Thank you for this opportunity.

17:59I appreciate it. Excuse [clears throat]

18:01me. I'm specifically here to discuss a

18:03little of affordable housing um of which

18:07I am becoming a part. I am a 75year-old

18:11widow. I was widowed at the age of 42.

18:15Our son was seven. My husband was an

18:18only child. For most of the past 30

18:20years, I have worked two to three jobs.

18:22One job at the age of 60 involved going

18:25out on my own on commissions only to

18:28allow the flexibility to take care of my

18:30mother-in-law when my father-in-law

18:32died. She suffered from Alzheimer's. I

18:35was also helping to take care of my

18:37parents. I tell you all of this because

18:40through all of it, I never ask for

18:42assistance. I worked. I was able to

18:45work. I still work. I am happy to do so,

18:48but I don't want to do it at the same

18:50rate I've done it for the past 30 years.

18:53So now I am asking for help. It matters

18:56to me to live in a safe environment, one

18:58that is accessible to family, friends,

19:01work, doctors, and grocery shopping,

19:04either within walking distance or by

19:06bus. I do not own a car. This brings me

19:09to affordable housing and my efforts to

19:12find something in the city.

19:15Overall,

19:17I [clears throat] have been at this

19:18process since early November of 2026.

19:22It's an agonizing process trying to

19:25figure out affordable housing and I feel

19:28like I'm halfway smart. I finally

19:31figured out the application to HACP and

19:35have become familiar with all the

19:36acronyms HACP, HCV, PBV, and MTW.

19:43And I have learned that the one program

19:45that offers vouchers has a huge waiting

19:48list and is currently closed.

19:52[clears throat] So all of that being

19:54said, done a lot of research to find out

19:57about these programs and then and what

20:00programs um apartment complexes fit. Um

20:04that's a whole other ballgame. When I

20:07learned that the Mercer in the Strip

20:09District was affordable housing, I

20:11applied in the spring.

20:13They nor I knew what program they

20:16subscribed to. They were new to

20:17Pittsburgh. In August, I finally found

20:20out that I would need a voucher. To

20:22date, they have only had one potential

20:24tenant there. They have 20 units

20:28available for affordable housing.

20:32I have applied to other buildings in the

20:34area, but due to accessibility in my

20:37relationship with the staff there, I've

20:39gotten to know them quite well. I had

20:41hoped for um two possible proposals.

20:45One is probably not at all businesss,

20:49but it is to be able to pay rent, the

20:52responsibility of the rent on my part or

20:55for anyone else for that matter applying

20:57through these programs. Oops. Um, also

21:01possibility of releasing the $4

21:04something million dollars that I believe

21:06is an MTW through

21:08>> H. Time has expired. If you have written

21:11comments, you can certainly submit those

21:12to the clerk's office.

21:14>> We'll do. Thank you.

21:15>> Thank you. [applause]

21:19>> Our next registered speaker is Dr.

21:21Ronald Lin Miller.

21:27I'm Dr. Ronald and Miller, United

21:29States. Um, Pittsburgh, Point Breeze,

21:33Neighborhood, Lmer, Shadyside. Um, West

21:37Homewood, ring a bell. This is AI

21:40Avenue.

21:41Really?

21:43Uh, we are establishing an anti- AI

21:46corridor to deal with this. um the

21:49United Kingdom, uh Cambridge,

21:53um the Allen Touring Institute,

21:57artificial intelligence, it's the

21:59birthplace of artificial intelligence.

22:02Seells

22:03uh Bordovo has the claim um that they

22:08are making their entire city an AI

22:10integrated city. Global Intelligence

22:14Society candidate for president of the

22:15United States 2028

22:17uh ACCE. The concern of this council is

22:20artificial intelligence. Really?

22:24[gasps] Uh my concern is very clearly

22:26that I created and copyrighted um the

22:29anti- AI Pittsburgh city QC SC super

22:35intelligence

22:37uh human uh network in 2026. On the 27th

22:41of July 2019,

22:44uh Darlene Harris had a proclamation and

22:46in that on artificial intelligence and I

22:49quote, "Pittsburg is the birthplace of

22:51AI." That is misinformation. That is a

22:54lie. Uh one out of 1,000 proclamations

22:58that we have on file 2010 to 2026 were

23:02AI focus. Mr. Lavell now zero now 91

23:07that we have um zero um Mr. Oconor zero

23:11out of 190. He's the most prolific of

23:14all of you. Um

23:16um this is incompetency. Uh Pittsburgh

23:19Home Rule Charter 8 uh 806. Uh this is

23:23an impeachment pattern as far as I'm

23:26concerned. Uh 2010 to 2026. I repeatedly

23:30uh voice concern about uh artificial

23:33intelligence and its emergence and

23:35evolution in my course the introduction

23:38to uh global

23:41virtual artificial studies in the CGSI

23:44program of education and in my 620

23:47uh printed public comments 10 of which

23:50were on AI um as recently as 7 October

23:542025 differentiating general artificial

23:58intelligence generative artificial

24:00intelligence and super artificial

24:02intelligence. In the early 2000s, I

24:04became a member of the um association

24:07for the advancement of artificial

24:09intelligence. Anybody here want to do

24:11that? Mr. O' Connor maybe don't think

24:13so. And in um July 6th July 2026, I

24:18offered this council um an employment

24:21opportunities uh perspectus. And in that

24:24I laid out my quantum computation,

24:26supercomputation, and superhuman

24:28intelligence computation center proposal

24:31for all nine districts at 1 billion a

24:33piece. Thank you very much. [applause]

25:13a tent with finding. Right now I'm in

25:15the middle of getting housing. Uh and

25:18I've seen this place help so many

25:20people. Uh I go there to get my water

25:22every day. They give us five bottles of

25:24water uh for free. Um they give I've got

25:27I've had caught heepsi um in my life and

25:30they I got treatment through there.

25:32Actually they tested me there for other

25:34uh they had a vehicle outside and uh

25:37they tested us for diseases and stuff

25:39and I got medication there to treat the

25:41heepsi that I got. Uh

25:44you know this place called roots is very

25:47strict. They don't let people sleep

25:49there. You can't just go there and

25:51lounge around. Um, so you the only I

25:54don't I don't understand why it's being

25:55shut down. There's no no uh no re I

25:59haven't heard nothing other than a

26:00couple business owners think that they

26:02want uh to clean up this street and that

26:05they're like missing out money. Uh I I I

26:07don't believe that's not that street

26:09that the place is only open a couple

26:11hours a day and the for the rest of the

26:14time, you know, these people still uh go

26:16about the street doing whatever they

26:18want. I think that's, you know, it's

26:20important that we don't shut this place

26:22down. Um,

26:27yeah, I that's basically I just wanted

26:29to express that the help that this place

26:32gives us um and a lot of other folks

26:34around the area and without any even

26:37talks of getting a new place, without

26:40even replacing it and putting it

26:41somewhere else, it's just completely

26:43shutting down. And these resources, I've

26:45never seen it anywhere else. I I

26:47whenever I was walking in the north

26:49side, I'm finding myself like I didn't

26:52know anything about this place. And then

26:53when I found it, it connected me with

26:56everything. And I went to the hospital

26:58once and they even sent me two roots. So

27:00there's other outreach places that are

27:02using this area uh to for their, you

27:06know, to reach out to people for help.

27:08And that's the only one around. So it's

27:11being closed down. And uh as a military

27:14veteran, someone who's fought in war,

27:15this is this is insane. They shut

27:18something like this down. It helps

27:20people. It is it's in no way is it

27:24hindering a couple businesses from

27:26making money on East Hive Street. And

27:28that's all I'd say. Thank you.

27:30>> Thank you. [applause]

27:33Our next minister speaker is Jean Luke

27:36Foster.

27:43Hey, how you doing today?

27:46>> Good. You can begin. I would I was just

27:49coming in to really ask some questions

27:51on the Pixburgh's plan and everything

27:54they're doing with infrastructure

27:56because according to how I see things

27:58and from what I'm starting to notice,

28:00we're changing a lot of roadways and

28:02adding bus lanes and ma major uh

28:05intersection on major roads, which is in

28:08effect making our streets smaller. And

28:11at the same time, we're also expanding

28:13our sidewalks, which is now making our

28:16streets smaller. And then at the same

28:18time, we're adding flock cameras, which

28:21is probably pushing people from not want

28:23to drive on the road. So, I'm really

28:25just in a question on asking like, is

28:28there a plan to push people out of

28:30driving on the streets and wanting to

28:31push them more to public transportation?

28:34And I would like to know why. And um

28:38other than that, it also inflicts to

28:40with the data centers that we're

28:42starting to put through and around

28:44Alagany County or just in PA in general.

28:47So I I'm just here more so to ask

28:49questions and to hear about everything

28:51that's going on cuz it seems like a lot

28:53of people don't come down here with um

28:57initiative and and have and is curious

29:00about what the city is planning to do.

29:02especially for the residents who's been

29:04living here and who continues and plans

29:06to live here. So that's it.

29:11Thank you very much. Our last register

29:14speaker is Chief Ikahana Ha Malina.

29:28Greetings and good day. My title is

29:31chiefana house makina and the grand inca

29:34the air confederacy of aboriginal

29:37American people.

29:40A lot of the corruption we see in city

29:42and county government didn't just start

29:45with the gay administration.

29:47Nor did a gaming singlehandedly

29:51mismanage or platform or stop the

29:54violence fund.

29:57These allegations of fraud fraud and

30:01fraudulent practices existed long before

30:05he took office.

30:07Most of the organizations under

30:09investigation

30:11deserve to be there, but I urge the

30:14attorney general to take a closer look

30:18at other agencies and their practices.

30:22For instance, city council was just

30:25investigated by Rick Earl

30:30for having approved money for food

30:33expenditures for a funeral.

30:37Rising tide needs to be under

30:40investigation for their erroneous and

30:44misuse of government funds.

30:48You see the corruption runs deep. Look

30:52at the guy, the gentleman off

30:56while DOI is tearing up our streets,

30:59making harder to navigate our streets as

31:01a gentleman before me spoke about

31:05changing

31:06no turn on reds when it made sense

31:09because that was how we did things in

31:11Pittsburgh,

31:14>> right?

31:15And so all of these things being added

31:17to make our city look like another city

31:21is causing the people of this city oil

31:24and Greek.

31:28There's things that made you made

31:30Pittsburgh unique that we adore and made

31:34it great to be home. Yeah, we go visit

31:36New York or go visit in Florida, but

31:39when we came home, we were back in a

31:41city that we knew and we recognized. And

31:44now only these developers are being

31:46invited to turn our city into a city

31:49that they are familiar with

31:52and we are left to figure it out on our

31:55own.

31:56>> Yes.

31:56>> How we reclaim our city, how we restore

31:59order in our city

32:03and you allow

32:05the feds to come in and and talk about

32:08Reaper,

32:09Operation Reaper. What is it?

32:13>> Like who named

32:15an operation such a terrible name? You

32:18sound like Donald Trump.

32:23>> We're going to clean up these streets.

32:25And you might as well have said, "Make

32:26America great again.

32:29We need to stop

32:32allowing the destruction and the erosion

32:35of what worked for us here

32:40and restore greatness and goodness and

32:45neighborliness

32:48back to our city.

32:56>> Thank you. That exhaust our list of

32:59registered speakers. If there's anyone

33:00in chambers wishing to speak, please

33:02come forward at this time. Also provide

33:04your name and neighborhood for the

33:05record.

33:07Good morning,

33:08Carino Jump Polo, Panther Hollow.

33:12Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty

33:15Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's

33:18horses and all the king's men couldn't

33:20put Humpty together again. That riddle

33:23is as appropriate today for the illegal

33:26Oakland do-it-yourself skate park in

33:28Panther Hollow as when it first appeared

33:31hundreds of years ago. Everyone has

33:34their own interpretation of the riddle

33:35and its many possible applications. To

33:38me, for this issue, the riddle warns of

33:41self- sabotage.

33:43Politicians who arrogantly refuse to

33:46recognize and acknowledge our

33:47wrongdoings in supporting the illegal

33:50skate park should heed it as a warning.

33:53It is also a warning for any others in

33:55authority who know the issue is an

33:57injustice against our community but have

34:00taken no action to undo it. Many of my

34:03nearly 40 testimonies have been directed

34:05to council members Barbara Warwick and

34:08Bob Charlan because they have been the

34:10public voices of the illegal skate park.

34:13My words are not a judgment of their

34:15moral character, but rather observations

34:18about this issue.

34:21Those observations warn that they have

34:23broken the trust and faith of good,

34:25honest people.

34:27Many skateboarders have already awakened

34:30their own dignity, abandoned these

34:32council members and chosen not to return

34:34to the illegal Oakland do-it-yourself

34:37skate park. Whether the council members

34:40recognize and acknowledge their own

34:42wrongdoings and then forgive themselves

34:44and change or fall off the metaphorical

34:48wall instead is their choice.

34:52One politician who did fall off the wall

34:55was former mayor Bill Paduto. His chief

34:59of staff was Dan Gilman. That fall had

35:02many causes, but one cause was not

35:05heeding the warnings from good people

35:07against the ill-conceived Mon Oakland

35:10Connector Roadway project.

35:12The issue of the illconceived, illegal

35:15Oakland do-it-yourself skate park has

35:18now been passed on to Mayor Corey O'

35:20Conor. His chief of staff is Dan Gilman.

35:25They have arrogantly refused to take

35:27action to undo the injustice.

35:30They have become complacent because the

35:33local media is protecting them from any

35:35ongoing in-depth investigation.

35:39However, that may change.

35:42>> Yes.

35:43>> Whether the mayor heeds the warning from

35:46good people to shut down the illegal

35:50skate park or falls off the metaphorical

35:54wall is his choice.

35:59We sincerely hope he heeds the warnings.

36:04We sincerely hope he heeds the warnings.

36:10Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker,

36:13please.

36:22My name is Javon F. Brown. I live at 715

36:25Marshall Street. That's the high-rise at

36:28the top of Beford with 190 apartments in

36:31there. Mr. Lel, I had told you there was

36:35going to be a meeting at Kaylee.

36:38I asked you to come. And the reason why

36:40I wanted you to come is I want you to

36:42see the citizens. The citizens that are

36:45in wheelchairs, the citizens that have

36:48walkers, the citizens that are blind,

36:53you didn't come. But Dwit Watson, our

36:57county councilman, came and I was given

37:00the opportunity to explain to them how I

37:05used to come and I was telling you about

37:06the buses that they had cut the buses.

37:09You told me on the elevator, you

37:11remember you said, "Miss Brown, you keep

37:12telling me about the buses, go to county

37:14council." Well, that's where I did. I

37:17went when I got finished speaking about

37:19the buses.

37:21Um, John Deio had passed. So there was a

37:24new president, a heavy set president.

37:28Anyway, when I got finished speaking, he

37:30said, "Mrs." He said, "Um, committee."

37:34Now, council member, we have a a person

37:36that came a citizen that came down with

37:39a a complaint. Now, what should we do?

37:42Should we individually write that letter

37:44to Pat authority or will we do it

37:48collectively and we all signed it?

37:52And then he said, "Oh, wait a minute.

37:53Dwit, this is your community. I'm sorry,

37:56Dwit. Will you write the letter?" HE

37:59HOLLERED, "NO, I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE

38:01their letter. Can't nobody tell me what

38:04they need. I live in the community.

38:06That's my community. I LIVE ACROSS THE

38:08STREET. THEY DON'T NEED NO BUS. They

38:10need security." That was in like in

38:132018. This is 26. And we still don't

38:17have a bus. He came to my com came up to

38:20the building and I want you to

38:22understand that the citizens gave him h

38:26L cuz they said that Miss Brown asked

38:30you and you said no. The white people,

38:33they were all white. He's the only black

38:35one on here. THEY WERE ALL WILLING TO

38:37WRITE A LETTER, but he said no. So, we

38:40still don't have a bus. And we still

38:43have nanny's men that has a woman that

38:47has beat up quite a few of us elders.

38:51She beat two. Mr. Brooks, he's dead. He

38:55died of a heart attack. Donna Lewis, she

38:58beat her and her daughter. Donna died.

39:01We have a man that has cancer. She went

39:04up under the tree, got the stick, and

39:06beat him all in his head. Do you

39:08understand that? The policeman told me

39:11when I called when I saw her in the

39:13building, he says that it's Arbor and

39:17management that's dropping the ball.

39:20Well, citizen, it's got to be the truth

39:22cuz anytime you walk into a and choke a

39:25manager and YOU DON'T GO TO JAIL AND SHE

39:27STILL COMES BACK TO THREATEN ALL US OLD

39:30PEOPLE.

39:30>> Thank you.

39:34Next speaker, please.

39:45Good morning, children. I see we have

39:48one missing as always. Miss Gross likes

39:51to come in here late, but y'all can

39:55freshen her up on what I had to say. So,

39:59class is in session and today's lesson

40:01is something called basic city

40:04oversight. Now, I know this may be new

40:07to a few of you, but please just stick

40:09with me. We've got the sidewalk

40:12unblocked. Thanks, Bravo. But guess

40:16what? We have to walk past now. A giant

40:18hole that turns into a public pool every

40:22time it rains. And if it's not filled

40:24with water, it's filled with letters and

40:27poles, like a playground for lawsuits.

40:31You never see that in the neighborhoods

40:33where you live because something like

40:36that would have been fixed before

40:39someone even tripped over a pebble. Like

40:43seriously, let's be honest. If you would

40:46see this kind of nonsense in your

40:48neighborhood,

40:51it would be paved, filled in, and

40:57landscaped and blessed by a priest

41:00before the next morning. Y'all will not

41:02even have this stuff done in y'all

41:04neighborhood. And then y'all say, "If we

41:08have a problem, come and speak. Call

41:10your office. Send an email." But

41:14truthfully, everybody sitting here can

41:16say they did the same thing. And y'all

41:17do not care. Y'all don't answer. Y'all

41:20don't do what we want done or the

41:22problems that we have when y'all

41:24actually have the power to fix every

41:27single problem that these people come

41:29down here with. Your job is not to sit

41:33there like some sort of gods while doing

41:36the devil's work.

41:38Because if you truly wanted to give

41:41oversight, it would have been done.

41:45And the person that is up there with

41:48that big hole, Sherock, whatever the

41:51last name is, is an Indian and it's

41:54supposed to be a parking lot that's been

41:58messed up since 2024. They talked about

42:01it in 2022. They made the hole whenever,

42:05and it's still there in 2026. And it's

42:08only supposed to be a parking lot.

42:11But I'll wrap this up with

42:15one last thought.

42:17Y'all are being looked at for all the

42:19wrongdoing.

42:21Every headline, every complaint, every

42:23meeting, it's all bad stuff. People

42:26remember. So why not try something new?

42:30Why not start doing something right for

42:33once before y'all leave office? Maybe,

42:36just maybe, people will remember you for

42:39the good you did and not the mess you

42:42left behind.

42:44>> Thank you.

42:47[applause]
