PITTSBURGH -- Target 11 Investigator Rick Earle continues to follow the controversy sparked by his investigative report on take-home car policy for workers of the city of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.

There was a heated debate in the City Council on Thursday about the issue, which raised even more questions about the city's take-home fleet.

Target 11 discovered Thursday that the city doesn't require employees to log mileage in order to know who's driving where and employees haven't been giving the city money for personal mileage like they are supposed to according to the policy.

City Councilman Ricky Burgess is now calling for changes.

Burgess said,"We don't know who uses the vehicles. Where they use them. They can travel anywhere without there being any ramifications."

Burgess questioned Pittsburgh City Finance Director, Scott Kunka, who oversees the city's 61 take-home cars.

After the Target 11 investigation, Burgess introduced an ordinance calling for the elimination of all but eight of those cars.

He suggested cutting some of the 16 public works cars.

Public Works Director Guy Costa admitted there may be room for some cuts, but Defended their use.

Costa said, "When they're called out at three AM to respond to the flood, or landslide or snowstorm, these are the gentleman who go out in these vehicles. "

Some council members suggested the administration may be violating the Act 47 plan that called for reducing city vehicles.

City Councilman Bruce Kraus said, "As I see it, there's really one issue at the table and that is compliance with Act 47 that calls for 31 vehicles, but we are twice that."

Kunka and City Solicitor George Specter disagreed.

They said that was only a recommendation and they say the mayor has the ultimate say when it comes to assigning home vehicles.

Kunka said, "We contend that this is not ordinance, but a policy that needs to be established and we will report back to the Mayor and try to find a better policy."

Council members agreed that public safety employees should be exempt because they're on call 24-7, but raised questions about a number of other employees who get free gas and maintenance.

And some council members suggested that the administration may be violating the act 47 plan, which says the city shall reduce the number of take-home vehicles.
