Summary

At its Dec. 9 meeting, Pittsburgh City Council approved a slate of proclamations honoring community leaders and passed multiple resolutions and contract amendments by roll-call votes; one public-works art contract was defeated and the Sawmill Run salt-storage bill was recommitted.

Pittsburgh City Council used its Dec. 9 session to approve a broad set of proclamations, resolutions and contract amendments while moving other items back to committee for further review.

Proclamations: Council read and approved proclamations honoring neighborhood legal-services attorney Eileen (variously recorded in the transcript) and Father David H. Taylor, declared days for both, and extended similar recognition to school-board director Jamie Petrowski, the Department of Public Works Fifth Division, and Amazon PIT5 for domestic-violence awareness support.

Committee reports and final actions: Multiple committee-reported bills and resolutions were read into the record and moved to final action, with clerks taking roll calls that in several instances recorded unanimous voice or roll-call approval (recorded in the transcript as 9 ayes, 0 nos for multiple items). Examples include committee-reported amendments to city contracts, grant acceptance and reimbursement agreements for street and bridge projects, and several facility-usage agreements for parks and community centers.

Defeated item: Bill 25-27 (agreement with Kistler Studio LLC for public art in Hazelwood) carried a negative committee recommendation; the clerk later announced that the bill "having failed to receive the legally required number of votes is defeated."

Referred/recommitted items: Bill 25-74 (Sawmill Run Salt Storage Facility) was debated and then recommitted 9–0 after members requested an itemized cost breakdown and further staff detail.

Next steps: Multiple recommitted and committee items are scheduled for standing committee agendas in the coming days; the council also announced budget hearings for the mayor’s office and the Office of Management and Budget.
