Office of Councilman Patrick Dowd, October 2009 New Legislation G20 Fact-Finding Committee. With the G20 behind us, Councilman Dowd has successfully called for a committee <http://legistar.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/detailreport/?key=12154> to review and gather information about the decisions made to host the G-20 and the costs associated with the event. The committee will produce an archive of documents for Pittsburgh and other cities to use in the future. News and Updates Tax Relief for Seniors! After many months on hold, Councilman Dowd's legislation simplifying the tax relief process for seniors has passed. Now, seniors only have to apply to the program once and the application form will be similar to the one used by Allegheny County. Check out the story in the Post-Gazette <http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09078/956714-53.stm> or on our website <http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/district7/> and please share with your elderly friends and neighbors. Cleaning up Car Lots. Councilman Dowd's legislation <http://legistar.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/detailreport/?key=12056> to improve screening and landscaping requirements for car lots was approved by the Planning Commission. It now comes back to Council for a final vote. More information on all legislation is available on our website <http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/district7/> . Heads-up on Development. Some large scale developments do not always require public notice. This technical amendment <http://legistar.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/detailreport/?key=12054> to the zoning code introduced by Councilman Dowd ensures that so-called "Planned Unit Developments" that have been on the shelf for more than 10 years notify adjacent property owners of any development applications.

[Highland Park] TREADMILL FOR SALE!!!
by dozer9＠comcast.net 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi all! I recently moved back to Highland Park and do not have room for my treadmill. It is a Pacemaster Pro-Plus, has been used for only two years, and works like a charm. It tells you calories burned, mph, and a few other things. I was starting the price at $200, which is great for this treadmill because its brand new price is over $1,000. However, I am willing to go lower. Please feel free to call me at 412-626-1111 or respond to dozer9(a)comcast.net. Thanks!! I have attached pictures to this email! -Jaimie
