Clean Pittsburgh Commission Meeting - 10/8/26

The Clean Pittsburgh Commission’s October 8, 2026 meeting included votes on spending and discussion of the commission’s remaining budget. Members approved a $2,500 sponsorship for the Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse’s Craftle fundraiser, scheduled for November 13. They also approved up to $6,000 for outreach and marketing materials, including bags and printed materials or magnets. The commission reported $26,671 in its bank account before outstanding invoices, and members were asked to submit invoices promptly. A proposed increase in support for Sheridan’s year-end event, discussed at up to $2,500, was deferred to an email vote pending clarification. The commission also approved its September meeting minutes, with a typo correction.

The commission discussed opportunities to partner with the Center for Creative Reuse on reuse education and programming, and planning for its next two-year Neighborhood of Focus. East Hills was raised as a potential focus area, including possible coordination on vacant-lot activation and community safety. No bids, contracts, or vendor selections were discussed; the procurement-related activity was limited to sponsorship and outreach-material spending decisions.
