Standing committee approves P‑cards by voice vote; schedules NFL‑draft briefing and North Shore signs hearing
Summary
On Jan. 14 the Pittsburgh City Council standing committee approved a motion to authorize P‑cards by voice vote, announced an NFL draft briefing that afternoon, and set a Jan. 20 public hearing on Bill 9‑59 concerning North Shore Entertainment District gateway signs.
The Pittsburgh City Council standing committee approved a motion to authorize "P cards" during its Jan. 14 meeting and used the remainder of its session to announce upcoming briefings and hearings.
A motion to approve the P‑cards was recorded as moved by Speaker 3 and seconded by another attendee; the moderator then called for the voice vote and declared, "P cards are approved." No roll-call vote or named vote tally was recorded in the transcript; multiple members answered "aye." The clerk had reported five members present at the start of the meeting.
The moderator also announced an afternoon briefing with sessions at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. related to the NFL draft and reminded the public that city offices would be closed on Monday, Jan. 19, for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The committee scheduled a cable-cast public hearing for Jan. 20 on Bill 9‑59 addressing North Shore Entertainment District gateway and district signs; speaker registration for that hearing closes at 11:30 a.m. on the day of the hearing.
During members' comments, Councilman Mosley praised outgoing coach Mike Tomlin and framed hosting the NFL draft in Pittsburgh as an opportunity to showcase the region. The meeting adjourned after a motion to excuse absent members and approve minutes.
The committee did not take further formal legislative action on the announcements during this session.
