# Pittsburgh City Council Standing Committees - 11/2/26

At the November 2, 2026 Pittsburgh City Council standing committees meeting, the Intergovernmental and Educational Affairs Committee recommended Bill 1067, authorizing up to $20,069,600 for the City of Pittsburgh Equipment Leasing Authority to acquire fire vehicles and related equipment. The package covers five aerial ladder trucks and eight pumpers for the Bureau of Fire. Officials said the roughly $18 million vehicle financing would be supported by Highmark donation funds paid over five years, with a 4.75% rate and approximately $2.69 million in interest; JPMorgan Chase was selected after the city solicited proposals from multiple banks. Payments are expected to begin in 2027. The committee also recommended Bill 1037, increasing Complete Streets funding by $1,322,540 to reflect federal Highway Administration funding at no cost to the city. These were committee recommendations, not final Council enactments in this meeting.

Other actions included holding a proposed Home Rule Charter amendment on budget-approval timing for one week. Council discussed Bill 1052, a proposed 2% tax on certain unearned income, with a projected $51 million in annual revenue; members debated its legal authority and potential effects, and requested further legal review and an executive session before proceeding. The committee also recommended an amended affordable-housing bonus reporting measure, requiring six-month updates and a two-year review. No additional major procurement awards were identified.
