LAMB CITY CONTROLLER First Floor Cit\'-County Building 414 Grant Street Pittsburgh. Penn.sylvania 15219 April 29, 2019 To The Honorable Mayor, Members of City CounciL and the Citizens ol The City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: I am pleased to present The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (hereinafter, CAFR)of the City of Pittsburgh (hereinafter, City) for the year ended December 31, 2018. The City's charter mandates that only a general purpose financial statement be issued by MayC. This does not include component units, statements mandated under GASB 34, footnotes and the statistical section. This year we are issuing a full CAFR by April 29''\ which meets the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) standards and allows the City to get an unmodified opinion from the City's independent auditors. We believe that the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to fairly present both the financial position and the results of operations of the various funds of the City. This statement will enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities. Responsibility for both the accuracy of data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, rests with the management of the City. This report contains all the funds of the City. Maher Duessel. Certified Public Accountants, has issued an unmodified ('clean') opinion on the City of Pittsburgh's financial statements for the year ended December 31. 2018. The independent auditor's report is located in front of the Management's Discussion and Analysis (hereinafter, MD&A). MD&A immediately follows the independent auditor's report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. Profile of the Government The City of Pittsburgh, incorporated in 1816, is located in the southwestern part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania occupying 58.3 square miles with a current population of 302,407. The City government is comprised of a strong elected mayor, a nine-member council elected by district and an elected controller. The mayor is the chief executive of the City who appoints the heads of various departments and the council has the legislative 412-255-2055 'rix; 412-255-8990 [email protected] authority. The controller audits City government-related expenditures and conducts audits of all City departments and authorities. The mayor is elected to a four-year term and the coimcil members are elected to a staggered four-year term. The even num^red districts are elected in one year and the odd numbered districts are elected two years later. Like the mayor, the controller is elected to a four-year term. The City is empowered to levy a variety of taxes including: property taxes on real estate, earned income taxes on residents that live within the boundaries of the City, and other usage taxes are charged when using certain facilities within the City. In addition, the City levies taxes on employees that work within the City and on businesses that operate within the City. Please see the Revenue section, (page 7-5^ for a more detailed explanation of the taxes collected. The City provides a fiill range of services, including police, fire, and emergency medical services, construction and maintenance of City property and infrastructure, sanitation services, and recreation and cultural activities. The Water and Sewer Authority, Urban Redevelopment Authority, Stadium Authority, and Parking Authority are component units of the City and are shown as such in the financial statements and the footnotes to the CAFR. Council is required to adopt a final operating and capital budget for the next year by the last day of the fiscal year, which is December 31. The annual budget is the basis of the City's financial planning and control. The operating budget is prepared on a departmental basis. The department heads may spend within a budget classification (e.g., s^aiies, supplies, rentals, miscellaneous) as they see fit. However, any transfers between classifications or departments have to be approved by Council. The Mayor's Office also prepares a five-year plan annually.

  • National Aviary's 2016 Annual Report
    A Closer Look at Conservation 2016 Annual Report Pittsburgh, PA Dear Friends 2016 has been another milestone year for the National Aviary, and I can’t thank you enough for helping to make that possible! You may have noticed that our Annual Report cover features Valentino, our two-toed sloth. While our name conjures images of free-flying, beautiful birds, we are first and foremost a conservation organization. One of our most important roles is connecting people to the natural world in meaningful ways. This year, Valentino became a high-profile ambassador for conservation. By telling his story, we were able to shine a spotlight on all of the birds of the Rainforest and the threats they are facing. Valentino even connected with a huge national audience when The Ellen DeGeneres Show featured him meeting Violet, a five-year-old cancer survivor. As visitors delight in our exhibits, shows and personal encounters, they don’t always realize the essential work that is going on behind the scenes and in the field. This report gives us a chance to highlight this important work in ecological research, veterinary and husbandry advances, and educational outreach. These initiatives are only possible with your support, and I thank you for being a partner in the critical work of advancing global conservation of birds and their habitats. Sincerely, Cheryl L. Tracy Executive Director On the Cover Our cover photo was taken by Dave DiCello, who was the featured artist for our Wings & Wildlife Art Show in November. Thanks to all of the artists, sponsors, donors and attendees, we raised nearly $50,000 for National Aviary programming during this annual weekend event.

I analyze several different forms of expression that the fandoms utilize to define themselves against the human world. These are generally narrative in execution, and the conglomeration of these texts provides the communities with a concrete ontology. Through the implementation of fiction and narrative, the fandoms are able to create and sustain complex fictional personas in complex fictional worlds, and thereby create a “real” subculture in physical reality, based entirely off of fiction. Through the use of the mutability of Internet performance and presentation of self-hood, the groups are able to present themselves as possessing the traits of previous, non-human lives; on the Internet, the members are post-human.

  • The Pittsburgh I Remember Is a City That Will Use This Act of Hate to Build a Place of Love and Hope
    THE PITTSBURGH I REMEMBER IS A CITY THAT WILL USE THIS ACT OF HATE TO BUILD A PLACE OF LOVE AND HOPE By Ron Sirak • @ronsirak October 28, 2018 I remember the old Pittsburgh, the grimy city of steel mills and pollution, a lunch pail-carrying kind of place where the sweat of the blast furnaces was washed away with a shot and a beer. I remember a fiercely proud area that viewed Eastern Pennsylvania as another state, perhaps even another country. Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania, even has its own language. Phrases such as: “What yinz doin’ after you red up the house?” clang on the outsider’s ear like the wail of a car alarm at 3 in the morning. My mother, who worked as a welder from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and then as a cleaning woman in an office from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., said of Eastern Pa.: “They’re from the anthracite region; we’re from the bituminous region,” as if that was a stamp you’d get on your passport. My father drove a ladle crane in about every mill in Western Pa. and Eastern Ohio as the steel industry was dying. United Engineering. Mesta Machine. Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Sharon Steel, Jones & Laughlin and finally Pennsylvania Engineering in our hometown of New Castle, 50 miles from Pittsburgh. That’s where he was working when he died at the age of 45, the life sucked from him by relentlessly hard work. When I was a kid the Interstate hadn’t been built yet and the drive to Pittsburgh to see a Pirates game at Forbes Field was an arduous affair, following a windy road that that traced the river.

  • 1.) What Was the Original Name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. the Pirates
    1.) What was the original name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. The Pirates The Pittsburgh football franchise was founded by Art Rooney on July 7, 1933. When he chose the name for his team, he followed the customary practice around the National Football League of naming the football team the same as the baseball team if there was already a baseball team established in the city. So the professional football team was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2.) How many Pittsburgh Steelers have had their picture on a Wheaties Box? C. 13 Since Wheaties boxes have started featuring professional athletes and other famous people, 13 Steelers have had their pictures on the box. These players are Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Neil O'Donnell, Yancey Thigpen, Bam Morris, Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Barry Foster, Merril Hoge, Carnell Lake, Bobby Layne, and Rod Woodson. 3.) How did sportscaster Curt Gowdy refer to the Immaculate Reception, which happened two days before Christmas? Watch video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMuUBZ_DAeM A. The Miracle of All Miracles “You talk about Christmas miracles. Here's the miracle of all miracles. Watch this one now. Bradshaw is lucky to even get rid of the ball! He shoots it out. Jack Tatum deflects it right into the hands of Harris. And he sets off. And the big 230-pound rookie slipped away from Warren and scored.” —Sportscaster Curt Gowdy, describing an instant replay of the play on NBC 4.)

  • Trixie Belden and the Anthrocon Mystery Prologue
    Trixie Belden and the Anthrocon Mystery Prologue Trixie Belden and the Anthrocon Mystery Prologue “Why are we coming down two days early, Dennis?” the pretty honey-blonde girl in the passenger seat asked. “Well, Mad, I wanted to spend a couple days in Philadelphia, doing a little sightseeing,” replied the dark-haired driver. “I’ve lived within two to three hours of Philly for most of my life, and I’ve never done anything concerning the city but come to this convention. I didn’t think you’d complain about it, either.” “I’ll admit that it’s the convention that’s got me a little worried. You hear a lot of weird stories about these, what do they call themselves?” “We call ourselves furries, for the most part. Don’t worry, I’m not offended. I know the stories you’ve probably heard. Hell, that Vanity Fair article from a while back didn’t do us any favors. They interviewed a lot of people, and then chose the weird end of the spectrum to write about, as if that’s all we’re about. I know engineers, programmers, and any number of other people who you’d never knew were into anthropomorphics. Yeah, some of us like to dress up in costume, but then again, don’t you get that at a science fiction convention?” She laughed. “No, really, tell me what you really think!” “Sorry,” he answered, blushing slightly. “You know I get worked up over certain things.” “Luckily, one of them is me,” she chuckled demurely. “Are all the costumes as elaborate as yours?” “Honestly, no.
