City Council
Student ambassadors in six Pittsburgh public high schools work to interrupt violence, but the program's state grant has ended. On July 1, council agreed to move forward with a $250,000 deal to keep it going this fall. The council president said that should cover about six months. Still, the school district hasn't authorized money to continue it.

City outreach workers could soon get a wheelchair van to help residents with disabilities. Council moved forward with the request on July 1. Meanwhile, unexpected repairs to the city's aging fleet are on track to cost almost $5.3 million this year, against $3.9 million budgeted. The acting fleet manager said new vehicles should help bring those costs down.
City Council
Seniors in the Hill District don't have a senior center nearby, a city parks official said. On July 1, council gave preliminary approval for Macedonia FACE to run meals and programs at the Ammon Recreation Center rent-free. The nonprofit previously offered senior services at the Thelma Lovette YMCA. A council member also said residents without a nearby city senior center miss out.
