Council approves a slate of resolutions and amendments, including capital budget adjustments and infrastructure reimbursements

At its June 16 meeting, Pittsburgh City Council took final action on a broad slate of committee-reported items covering capital budget adjustments, grant reimbursements, infrastructure projects, procurement extensions, and intermunicipal agreements.

Notable items approved during the session included amendments to the capital budget to increase funding for complete-streets and street resurfacing, reimbursements for preliminary engineering and construction phases of several transportation projects, a $6,000 warrant for the PulsePoint emergency-app license fee, and multiple resolutions authorizing agreements and donations for parks, libraries, and preservation projects.

Several committee chairs presented reports and called final roll; the clerk recorded repeated roll-call tallies of nine yes, zero no for the bills taken up during the meeting. For example, the finance committee report that included a $1 million increase to complete streets and transfers for play-area improvements was recorded as passing by roll call (nine yes, zero no). The public safety committee’s warrant for PulsePoint (listed at $6,000) and public works committee items on park renovation subawards and signal design reimbursements were also recorded as passing by roll call.

Council presenters included committee chairs and members who introduced specific bills and described reimbursement percentages and not-to-exceed amounts; where the meeting text provided dollar figures or reimbursement shares, those figures are reported in council documents accompanying the bills. Several items noted ‘‘no cost to the city’’ or high reimbursement percentages from state or federal partners.

Council did not debate major amendments on the floor during final action; votes were recorded in sequence as the clerk took the role for each item. The meeting record shows these final actions were taken and passed; agenda materials and committee reports filed with the clerk contain the complete text and dollar figures for each resolution and ordinance.
