This

copy
of

original
resolution
adopted
by
the
council
of

city

Philadelphia
on
the
8th,
October
2015.
It
is
introduced

members
of
the
City
Council
Jack.
We
want
to
thank

hard.
I
want

thank

lvc

C
E
The
convention
center-
someone
whom
are
here
and
all
of
the
members
of
the
hospitality
community
he
has
represented
them
very
well
and
Jack.
We
will
miss,
you
I'm
sure,
you're
not
going
away,
but
we've
meant
we
will
miss
you
and
we
thank
you
so
much
think
about
putting
Philadelphia
on
the
map
in
a
big
big
way.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
This
is
very
hard
for
everyone
to
believe.
That
knows
me.
I
am
speechless.
I
can't
believe
you
pulled
this
off
and
I.
When
I
came
over
here
and
I
saw
all
my
staff
I
said:
I
got,
it
looks
like
we're
having
a
staff
meeting
and
like
I'm
looking
around
and
I'm
thinking
something
something's
not
right
here,
but
I
am
extremely
humbled
by
this
and
I.
C
Don't
know
what
to
say.
That's
unusual.
So
I
said
you
know,
I'm
a
native
Philadelphian
and
I'll
just
give
you
this
little
tidbit
Joe
notices.
First
of
all,
we've
been
married
42
years
and
I
will
tell
you
this
when
Joe
and
I
as
she
was
the
waitress
and
I
was
the
busboy
at
the
Jersey.
Shore
and
I
got
quarter
tips
from
her
had
I
but
known.
I
would
probably
thought
twice
about
that,
because
I
sort
of
turned
the
tide
around,
but
we've
had
a
really
good
life.
C
We
have
wonderful
children
and
grandchildren
plan
to
spend
a
lot
a
lot
of
time
with
them
and,
as
you
said,
Mary
and
I
I
am
retiring
from
this
job.
I'm
not
retiring
from
life,
which
is
which
is
really
important,
but
you
know
it's
been
a
good
run
and
I.
You
know
my
love
for
Philadelphia
and
even
when
Muldoon
hired
me
all
those
years
ago,
he
said
Jack
doesn't
have
blood.
He
bleeds
Philadelphia
and
I
share
this
with
you,
because
I
will
never
forget.
C
This
years
ago,
when
I
came
home
to
twenty-third
Street
and
said
to
my
family
I'm
going
to
go
to
school
in
the
West,
I
had
gone
to
a
two-year
college
up
in
the
Adirondacks
of
New
York
for
hospitality
and
I
said
I'm
going
to
go
to
then
about
a
southern
university
because
it
was
starting
up
a
new
hotel
program.
It
became
UNLV.
I
was
the
first
graduating
class
from
the
hotel
administration.
I
won't
tell
you
how
many
years
ago,
but
and
this
is
relevant
to
Philadelphians-
and
it's
so
important.
C
If
you
understand
where
I
come
from
everybody
east
of
the
Mississippi-
came
from
New
York
except
Jack.
He
was
from
Philadelphia
because
there
was
no
way
I
was
going
to
be
New
Yorker.
There
was
just
no
way
it
was
not.
It
was
not
in
my
capacity.
It's
never
been,
but
to
think
I
got
paid
to
talk
about
the
city.
I
love
was
just
great,
so
I.
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
part.
I
am
very
humbled
and
I
can't
believe
you
did
this
to
me,
but
and
thank
you
mr.
Fraser.
A
A
A
G
H
H
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
our
next
presentation.
At
this
time
the
chair
recognizes
councilman
henan
will
represent
a
resolution,
honoring
Big,
Brothers
and
Big
Sisters
would
Marcus
Allen
and
those
accompanying
him.
Please
join
the
councilman
at
the
podium
and
joining
councilman
Heenan.
We
have
Councilwoman
bass
and
Councilman
O'brien.
G
Well,
good
morning,
everybody
and,
as
you
just
heard
the
announcement
for
a
lark
that
council
president
celebrating
100
years
of
existence-
honoring,
you
know
Big
Brothers
and
Big
Sisters
here
in
southeastern
Pennsylvania,
and
it
is
such
a
quite
a
milestone.
That's
been
paved
with
work
of
the
Good
Shepherd,
you
know
being
on
the
front
lines
with
children
at
risk:
one-on-one,
mentoring,
a
vibrant
pool
of
volunteers
that
you
will
hear
through
reading
of
others,
this
resolution,
but
signed
by
all
and
passed
by
All
City
Council.
G
We
can't
thank
the
organization
and
not
for
what
they
do
on
a
daily
basis,
changing
people's
lives
and
and
serving
as
a
model
for
a
national
example
of
which
you
be
done
every
single
day
in
every
single
neighborhood.
So
with
that,
we
are
here:
honoring
Big,
Brothers
and
Big
Sisters,
the
southeastern
Pennsylvania
for
100
years
of
service
to
the
program,
whereas
Big
Brothers,
Big
Sisters,
southeastern
Pennsylvania
is
a
nonprofit
organization
that
provides
children
facing
adversity
which
strong,
enduring
and
professionally
supported,
101
mentoring
relationships.
G
F
Whereas
charles
edwin
fox,
then
assistant
district
attorney
of
philadelphia
founded
the
organization
in
1915
as
a
way
to
help
address
the
problems
young
boys
are
facing.
Since
that
time
the
program
has
grown
extensively
serving
more
than
120,000
children
in
the
greater
philadelphia
area
and
where
I
asked
for
100
years,
Big
Brothers,
Big,
Sisters,
southeastern
Pennsylvania
has
been
helping
to
break
the
cycles
of
incarceration
and
poverty
by
providing
children
with
compassionate
and
caring
adult
mentors.
D
Whereas
the
mentors
for
Big
Brothers
Big
Sisters
can
diminish
the
risk
factors,
children
face
and
make
a
lasting
impact
on
their
lives.
Last
year,
ninety-eight
percent
of
children
in
the
agency's
program
advanced
to
the
next
grade,
avoided
being
arrested
and
avoided
using
drugs
and
whereas
Big
Brothers,
Big
Sisters
southeastern
Pennsylvania
is
the
third
largest
of
over
335
agencies
nationwide
and
voted
the
number
one
not
profit
for
at-risk
youth
by
philanthropy
dia
and
whereas.
F
We're
as
of
the
last
century,
Big
Brothers,
Big
Sisters,
southeastern
Pennsylvania,
has
developed
a
strong
reputation,
the
highest
quality
of
service
and
expertise
and
child
safety
protocols
by
steady
adherence
to
the
principles
of
fairness,
reliability
and
integrity.
It
has
become
a
leader
in
the
community
and
a
model
that
is
worthy
of
emulation
and
whereas
in
2015,
under
the
current
leadership,
congratulations,
sir
Big
Brothers,
Big
Sisters
of
southeastern
Pennsylvania,
launched
the
mentoring
partnership
and
Resource
Center.
F
G
Resolved
by
the
council
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
that
we
hereby
honor
Big,
Brothers
and
Big
Sisters
southeastern
Pennsylvania
for
100
years
of
service
to
the
region
and
I
just
want
to
add,
for
the
record
point
of
personal
privilege
to
recognize
the
the
good
family,
Reverend
good
and
former
mayor
for
his
dedication
and
commitment
to
big
brothers
and
sisters
over
the
years.
Also
recognizing
that
the
resolution
Co
introduced
by
council
president
Clark
blondell,
Reynolds,
Brown
myself,
so
I
want
to
congratulate
them
for
all
their
hard
work
dedication
over
the
last
hundred
years.
So
congratulations.
I
It
doesn't
matter
because
I
can't
see
you
anyway
and
Big.
Brothers
Big
Sisters
has
a
long
history
started
in
this
country
when
segregation
was
the
rule
of
the
land.
At
one
point
there
was
a
big
brothers
big
sisters.
Catholic
there
was
a
big
brothers,
big
sisters,
Jewish
there
was
a
big
brothers,
big
sisters,
Protestant,
and
there
was
a
big
brothers
big
sisters,
black
and
I
made
a
joke.
I
Once
I
say:
I
did
I,
never
knew
that
black
was
a
religion,
and
but
now
today
we
bring
all
people
together
because
we
have
a
challenge:
the
huge
challenge
before
us.
When
it
comes
to
our
kids,
our
kids
really
don't
care
where
you
come
from,
they
don't
care.
What
color
you
are
they
don't
care?
What
your
socioeconomic
status
is,
what
they
care
about
is.
Can
you
help
them?
Can
we
help
get
our
kids
a
quality
public
school
education?
I
Can
we
ensure
that
we
keep
our
kids
safe
and
can
we
ensure
that
we
have
corporations
and
small
businesses
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia?
That's
going
to
be
able
to
employ
them
once
they
gain
the
skills
that
they
so
desperately
need.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
on
behalf
a
big
brothers,
big
sisters,
southeastern
pennsylvania,
it's
an
honor
to
serve
an
organization
that
has
a
long
history
with
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
its
citizens.
Big
Brothers,
Big
Sisters.
I
A
D
So
I'm
not
used
to
these
individuals
dressed
up
so
nicely.
Usually
they
have
their
hiking
boots
in
their
binoculars
and
things
like
that.
It
clean
up
nice
I
would
say
to
you
that
seven
years
ago,
when
I
started
to
expand
my
horizons
to
understand
that
they
are
different.
Shades
of
green
I
was
never
born
in
environmentalists
in
West
Philadelphia,
where
I
grew
up,
the
only
grass
was
in
the
cracks
in
between
the
concrete
that
coo
of
us.
So
as
you
get
elected,
you
have
to
expand
your
horizons.
D
I,
remember
doing
so,
and
I
actually
went
up
to
the
hinterlands
of
manatou
no
farms
and
met
with
some
of
the
neighbors
and
I
could
not
believe
that
I
was
still
in
Philadelphia.
You
see
feral
dogs
and
deer
and
of
the
the
mighty
Bible
link
that
flies
up
there
and
you
look
the
bubbling
it's
an
important
part
of
our
ecosystem
and
then
I
found
out
about
traditions
like
toad
crossings
where
the
toads
migrate
to
the
water
and
the
neighbors
come
out
and
guard
their
safe
passage
across
the
road.
D
So
these
things
you
learn
quickly
in
the
fourth
council
Matic
district,
and
today
we
are
here
to
honor
an
effect.
There
are
300
species
of
birds
that
migrate
from
over
my
district
to
your
district
to
your
district
and
parts
of
the
watershed.
I
think
you
might
even
get
a
little
piece
of
it.
Councilman
squalor,
but
these
birds
find
their
home
in
these
sanctuaries.
Their
organizations
like
the
screw,
kill
center
helped
to
preserve.
J
F
Whereas
every
philadelphian
benefits
from
the
oxygen
its
forests
makes,
the
air
pollution
is
trees,
filter,

Matic

further

As
evidence
of
our
sincere
respect
and
appreciation
of
this
legislative
body
and
I
would
be
remiss
by
not
saying
that
council
president
touches
it
and
because
of
his
efforts.
D
L
Good
morning,
on
behalf
of
the
entire
school
center
family,
thank
you
to
president
Clark
City
Council,
and
especially
our
good
friends,
councilman
Jones
and
the
special
assistant
Josh
Cohen
for
this
Proclamation
I
am
joined
by
several
call
center
team.
We're
delighted
to
be
here
with
you
today,
so
we
were
founded
in
nineteen
sixty-five
as
a
landmark,
a
pioneering
effort,
the
first
Nature
Center
in
a
large
American
city.
Fifty
years
later,
we're
still
pioneers.
We
offer
diverse
programming
to
every
age
group,
including
nature
preschool
the
first
nature-based
preschool
in
this
state.
L
Our
programs
reach
dozens
of
Philadelphia
schools,
libraries
and
recreation
centers.
Every
year
our
education
director,
Gail
farmer,
is
spearheading
an
effort
of
30
nonprofits
joined
by
the
city's
own
departments
of
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
public
health
called
nature.
Rx,
where
chopped
pediatricians
will
soon
prescribe
time
in
the
outdoors
to
Philadelphia
children
to
combat
a
number
of
public
health
threats,
including
obesity,
a
public
health
epidemic
nature
has
innumerable
benefits
for
people,
including
making
all
of
us
healthier
and
fear.
Our
environmental
art
program,
unique
in
the
country,
celebrates
its
15th
anniversary
this
year.
L
Since
2000,
almost
250
artists
have
participated
in
indoor
and
outdoor
exhibitions
and
we
are
pioneering
a
concept
whereby
large-scale
art
projects
restore
broken
neck,
illogical
systems.
Our
wildlife
clinic
is
not
only
the
only
one
of
its
kind
in
Philadelphia,
but
the
only
one
of
its
kind
in
a
four-county
area.
The
city's
animal
care
and
control
team
bring
us
hundreds
of
animals
every
year,
more
than
3,000
sick,
injured,
orphaned
animals
pour
into
the
clinic's
front
door
annually
and
as
councilman
Jones
especially
knows,
we
are
a
critical
piece
of
open
space
in
Upper
roxboro
permanently
protected.
L
In
fact,
we
are
the
single
largest
permanently
protected,
privately
owned
parcel
land
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Our
340
acres
of
forests
and
fields
will
remain
forests
and
fields
in
perpetuity,
and
we
are
very
proud
of
that
edge.
Oh,
that's
a
clap,
so
education,
restoration,
rehabilitation,
that's
what
we
do.
L
We
love
to
invite
all
of
you
here
in
the
chamber
and
all
of
you
watching
on
TV
to
come
visit
us
come
walk
our
trails
for
free
and
join
us
for
our
programs,
including

Saturday
morning,
family,
nature
events,
this

members,
will

a

to

done.

Thank.
A
You

before

consider
these
bills
and
resolutions
that
are
on
the
final

calendar.
We
will
have
our
public
session
public
comment
session.
It
will
go
as
follows
if
you
are
interested
in
testifying
a
bill
or
resolution
that
is
only
final
passes
calendar
today,
if
you
have
not
already
done
so
I'd
ask
that
you
sign
up
table
to
my
left
when
your
name
is
called
you'll,
go
to
the
podium
in
the
middle
of
the
council
chambers.
There
is
a
device
and
a
microphone
on
that
device.
There
is
a
light
when
that
light
turns
green.
A
A
Yeah
we're
going
to
call
up
because
it
appears
that
everyone
who
has
indicated
to
wish
to
testify
we're
going
to
cue
them
all
up
and
just
call
everyone
up.
So
we
don't
have
to
take
time
to
individually
call
you
so
we're
going
to
call
everyone's
name
who's
listed
to
testify
on
bill
number
1,
405,
19
double
a
and
if
you
could
just
get
in
line
behind
the
sergeant
of
arms,
Amy.
N
My
name
is
Amy
Friedlander
and
I
live
at
2313
south
street.
Last
week
I
stated
the
four
reasons
that
I
opposed
bill:
number
1,
405,
19
aa1
our
community
had
no
voice
in
its
drafting.
Ccra
did
not
provide
even
a
single
opportunity
for
membership.
Input
to
the
bill
flies
in
the
face
of
our
professionally
drafted
new
zoning
code.
3
the
bill
counter-intuitively
targets,
the
most
economically
healthy
region
in
the
city
center
city,
is
bursting
with
development
and
studs
and
does
not
need
incentives
to
entice
developers.
N
To
build
for
this
bill
is
a
win
for
developers
and
devastating
loss
for
the
city.
If
you
give
goodies
to
the
developers,
you
should
exact
something
in
exchange
for
the
city,
the
May
first
2014
explosion
on
the
2300
block
of
gnawed
Ain
streets
that
destroyed
three
homes
proves
that
our
infrastructure
is
dangerously
old
and
broken.
If
you
pass
this
bill
and
allow
builders
to
overbuild
in
our
neighborhood
without
first
having
them
fund
infrastructure,
replacement
and
upgrades,
you
will
have
blood
on
your
hands,
but
today
I
want
to
talk
about
politics
as
I
understand
it.
N
You
need
donors
to
fund
the
cost
of
your
election
campaigns,
most
of
your
donors
or
businesses,
because
part
of
your
work
is
about
relationships.
You
get
to
know
your
donors
and
you
strive
to
help
them
when
you
can
I
believe
that
this
bill
is
an
attempt
to
help
your
donors
that
work
in
the
fields
of
development
building
and
construction,
but
I
urge
you
not
to
forget
that
the
reason
you
need
donors
to
fund
election
campaigns
is
because
you
need
votes.
Please
do
not
forget
that
you
need
both
your
donors
and
your
constituents.
N
This
bill
is
a
win
for
your
donors,
make
it
a
win
for
your
constituents
by
carving
out
the
area
from
spruce
to
south
west
of
nineteenth
Street,
more
than
100
of
us
in
just
72
hours
signed
the
petition
asking
you
to
do
so.
Even
without
this
patch
of
land,
the
legislation
is
a
bonanza
for
developers.
Don't
leave
your
constituents
holding
the
bag.
Carve
us
out.
N
O
My
name
is
Barbara
Baylor
I'm
from
the
30th
Ward
16th
division,
I'm,
a
committee
person
who's
lived
near
the
South
Street
corridor
west
of
19th
for
over
two
decades,
as
I
told
you
last
week.
My
neighbors
are
all
angry
about
this
overlay
and
do
not
want
to
be
included.
How
do
you
want
me
to
tell
them
that
they
are
being
heard
and
taken
care
of?
We
need
your
help.
We
are
not
the
same
as
South
Street
Easter,
nineteenth
Street,
most
of
South
Street
is
zoned
residential
in
our
area.
O
We
are
a
residential
neighborhood
with
a
small
low-rise
neighborhood
serving
business
district
that
includes
things
like
a
dry,
cleaner,
a
bike,
store,
rug,
store,
kids
store
resale
shop,
small
supermarket
and
a
laundromat
we've
supported
deals
with
many
developers
for
win-win
agreements,
but
we
do
not
want
to
become
a
strip
of
bars
or
high-rise.
Buildings,
modest
homes
are
single-family
dwellings.
This
area
includes
devil's
pocket
where
families
have
lived
for
generations
and
has
been
repeatedly
held
out
as
one
of
the
gems
of
this
city.
O
This
bill
would
gut
a
mostly
residential
neighborhood
that
has
thrived
for
over
100
years.
Who,
amongst
you,
can
look
at
my
neighbors
in
the
eye
and
tell
them
this
is
a
good
deal
for
them?
I
define
neighbor
here
as
those
directly
affected,
but
not
those
living
within
a
two-block
radius
of
south
street
and
west
of
nineteenth
Street
I
do
not
mean
those
who
live
outside
the
area.
If
you
vote
YES
on
this
bill,
please
tell
me
how
to
tell
my
constituents
that
the
opinions
of
people
outside
our
neighborhood
are
more
important
than
theirs.
O
If
you
can't,
then
please
vote
no
on
this
bill
and
rewrite
it
to
exempt
the
area
as
requested
by
my
name
or
Amy
Friedlander
I,
believe
we
owe
them
the
respect
to
rewrite
the
bill
and
honor
the
request
for
an
exemption
from
the
overlay.
As
a
side.
Note
I
left
last
week's
hearing
about
this
bill
and
arrived
home
to
a
utility
pole
that
was
taken
down
by
a
dump
truck
at
my
corner,
21st
in
Bainbridge.
This
is
a
frequent
occurrence.
It
happens
every
2-3
months.
It
confirms
we
lack
the
Empress
rupture
for
up
zoning.
O
We
can't
support
the
proposed
development
overlay.
We've
had
a
flood
on
21st
Street,
a
fire
on
the
2300
block
of
Nadine
street,
a
gas
line
on
24th
street,
with
high-pressure
service
that
had
to
be
shut
down
because
of
repeated
leaks,
a
steam
line
on
21st
Street
shut
down
this
summer
past
summer.
Because
of
the
problems
please,
please
do
not
over
develop
what
we
can't
support.
We
can't
support
what
we
have
now.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
consideration
and
I
hope
that
we
have
your
support.
Thank.
P
I
have
lived
at
2317
nardin,
since
1983
I
urge
you
not
to
override
the
zoning
for
our
neighborhood
I
think
it
is
wonderful
when
developers
and
community
have
to
work
together,
and
nobody
has
a
right
to
override
the
opinions.
I
cite
as
an
example,
the
development
of
the
Philadelphia
School
at
25th
and
south
street,
the
neighbors
and
the
school
had
to
work
together
to
develop
a
plan
that
was
acceptable
to
both
the
neighbors
and
the
school.
P
It's
not
perhaps
perfect.
The
school
would
have
liked
it
a
little
larger.
The
neighbors
would
have
liked
it
a
little
less,
but
it
preserved
the
open
area
that
this
neighbors
cared
about,
and
it
was
an
example
of
win-win
I
believe
the
zoning
laws
work
extremely
well,
but
when
there's
a
conflict
between
development
and
zoning,
I
believe
it
should
be.
P
C
The
opportunity
jessebella
Esquire
I'd,
say
das
cry
rarely,
but
I
want
to
know
him
that
here
is
the
neighbor,
but
representing
and
well
over
a
hundred
people
in
the
area
in
councilman
Johnson's
district,
who
were
opposed
to
the
bill
as
it
relates
to
their
particular
area.
You
have
already
proven
members
of
council
that
one
size
does
not
fit
all
because
in
this
bill
you
have
already
taken
out
certain
areas.
I'll
make
it
brief,
because
you'll
hear
the
anguish
from
the
individuals
were
speaking
to
you,
I,
don't
have
to
repeat
their
objections.
C
C
As
a
quick
personal
note,
I
think
one
of
the
amendments
is
directly
affects
something:
that's
actually
been
litigated
already
city
zoning
board
had
a
case
that
spent
two
special
meetings,
hearings
well
over
four
hours
at
23rd
and
south,
and
the
development
that
was
requested
was
not
granted.
This
bill
would
just
put
it
right
back
in
so
with
legislative
Fiat.
C
You
would
just
ride
over
what
hundreds
of
neighbors
don't
want
to
see
there,
and
even
the
area
has
founded
is
a
little
confusing
in
the
legislation,
although
I
think
you're
going
to
have
amendments
about
that
again
today,
which
may
make
it
worse.
While
you
have
three
streets,
two
of
them
intersect
and
most
people
when
they
think
of
three
streets,
they
think
of
three
different
sides
of
a
block
and
what
you've
done
at
twenty-third
and
South,
not
purposely
I
hope
is
to,
in
fact,
by
having
the
intersection
of
two
streets
together
on
one
side.
C
Meeting
twenty-third
Street
side
will
absolutely
override
what
the
will
of
the
people
was
there
again,
as
I
say,
you've
already
demonstrated
that
there
are
certain
areas
that
should
not
be
included
in
this
bill.
The
people
in
this
district
ask
that
you
actually
remove
they
I
mentioned
before
19th
west
to
the
river
south
to
express
read.
It
is
not
what
they
want
and
it's
not
good
for
them,
and
they've
already
demonstrated
that
and
in
full
hearing
they
in
fact
demonstrated
that
before
city
zoning
board,
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Thank.
Q
Good
morning,
all
morning,
sir,
my
name
is
Alexander
Sorrell
Kylie,
the
2219
cater
Street
in
Philadelphia,
once
a
first
I
am
not
in
favor
of
this
bill
as
written
I
want
to
start
my
talk
testimony
by
saying
we,
the
people
words
that
founded
the
United
States
of
America
I
Alexander
soroka,
have
been
a
community
leader
in
this
area.
For
over
30
years,
I've
made
a
major
commitment
to
get
other
neighbors
in
this
community
to
take
an
effort
to
make
this
a
better
City.
Q
We
do
not
want
our
efforts
to
be
undone
and
take
it
away
from
us.
We
the
People
white
black
young
go
long
time.
New
have
been
working
together,
seeing
what
we
needed
to
be
fixed
and
work
to
feed.
You
have
a
text
We
the
People
work
together
with
police
to
get
rid
of
drug
corners,
We
the
People
work
with
builders,
rehabbing,
buildings,
building
new
properties.
We,
the
people,
work
with
city
council
issue
upon
issue.
We,
the
people,
worked
with
CBI
the
Zoning
Board
to
resolve
many
issues
that
we
needed
to
be
worked
out.
Q
Q
Over
developed
in
unsafe,
the
new
law,
140
59a
is
going
to
stop
the
community
members
from
working
together
and
how
say
in
the
community
the
goal
everyone
should
be
working
together.
This
new
law
will
take
away
people's
rights
to
work
with
developers.
This
new
law
will
keep
information
away
from
people
who
are
doing
the
right
and
giving
the
rights
to
developers
the
right
to
win
when
the
Zoning
Board
works
with
neighbors
follows
the
laws
maintains
the
best
for
the
city
maintains
the
integrity
of
our
neighborhoods.
The
rulings
they
made
need
to
stand.
Q
Q
Changes
may
be
coming
this
new
law
stop
people
from
getting
together
to
work
with
developers.
This
new
law
gives
the
right
to
developers
to
build
what
they
want.
This
new
law
prevents
City
Council
members
from
being
able
to
help
neighbors
and
neighborhoods.
This
new
law
gives
developers
the
right
to
do
what
they
want.
Without
communities,
ebi
or
council
import,
giving
approval,
we
will
give
developers.
Often
we
will
hold
developers.
H
Q
E
H
Giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
Lisa
Armiger
and
I
live
at
2315
on
dane
street.
I'm
one
of
over
100
people
who
signed
the
petition
to
have
our
neighborhood
carved
out
of
the
center
city
overlay
I
learned
about
this
overlay.
Last
Saturday
I
had
no
knowledge
of
the
18
month,
long
negotiation
that
led
to
its
formation
I
had
no
opportunity
to
have
my
voice
heard
no
outlet
to
express
my
opposition
on
Sunday
afternoon.
H
I
sent
emails
to
everyone,
I
know
who
lives
between
sprüth,
spruce
and
south
and
west
of
nineteenth
Street,
encouraging
them
to
express
their
voice
subsequently
and
within
72
hours.
We
received
over
100
signatures
in
support
of
the
petition.
I
understand
that
many
people
are
in
favor
of
the
center
city
overlay.
What
I
want
to
know
is
who
are
they?
H
Where
do
they
live,
and
do
they
actually
represent
the
interests
of
the
resident
of
the
residents
who
live
in
my
neighborhood,
the
ones
who
actually
care
about
preserving
the
quality
of
life
and
character
of
our
already
over
developed
nook?
We
deserve
a
transparent
process
that
fairly
solicits
the
opinions
of
these
residents
of
those
residents
whose
neighborhoods
are
at
risk
for
the
type
of
dramatic
change
that
could
ultimately
squeeze
them
out.
H
I
respectfully
challenge
you
to
take
72
hours
of
your
time
to
find
people
that
live
from
spruce
to
south
and
west
of
nineteenth
Street
who
support
this
overlay,
then
I
welcome
an
opportunity
to
sit
down
and
find
a
win-win
here
until
then,
I
urge
you
to
stop
this
bill
or
carve
us
out.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
O
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Lauren
Vitas
I'm
here
as
chair
of
the
south-south
Neighborhood
Association
and
I
just
wanted
to
express
the
support
of
our
our
CEO
for
this
overlay
bill.
This
is
something
that
we've
been
working
on
with
the
councilman's
office
and
with
the
development
community.
We
understand
there
are
some
concerns
from
those
living
north
of
south
street,
but
in
terms
of
our
jurisdiction,
we
believe
that
this
bill
is
the
right
step
board.
O
G
R
God
loves
you
and,
of
course
he
loved
the
homosexuals,
but
they're
going
wrong.
You
know,
God
tells
us
not
to
commit
fornication,
which
is
unlawful
sexual
activity
and
still
all
of
us
that
commit
fornication
God
is
not
pleased
with
that
all
lives.
Us
I
want
to
be
able
to
be
unafraid
when
I
go
to
the
restroom
to
bathroom,
not
fearful
that
a
person
that
is
pretending
to
be
a
gay
person
is
in
that
bathroom
and
they
might
want
to
rape
me
or
someone
else,
and
not
only
that.
But
this
is
not
right.
R
You
know,
because
the
Christian
Bible
tells
us
that
we're
not
supposed
to
wanna
Kate,
and
that
means
having
sex
without
being
married
for
the
woman
and
the
man.
You
know,
man
and
a
woman
are
not
supposed
to
have
sex
without
being
married
and
of
course,
God
loves
them
also,
but
if
two
men
and
two
men
are
married
and
having
sex-
that's
not
that's
sinful.
You
know.
God
doesn't
like
that
either
so
I
want
us
just
to
have
the
woman
in
the
woman's
bathroom
and
the
man
in
the
mail,
the
men's
bathroom
and.
R
Because
it's
not
right
to
you
know
let
the
male
and
the
female
go
in
the
bathroom
together.
If
that's
the
plan,
and
thank
you
for
everyone
here
that
loves
God
and
just
don't
give
up
I
just
thank
God
for
what
I
heard
today
and
you
know
just
don't
give
up
and
let's
keep
doing
what's
right
with
the
help
of
the
lord.
Thank
you
thank.
G
You,
mr.
president,
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
the
record
bill
number
that
was
just
referred
to
does
not
allow
at
different
people
into
a
bathroom.
It's
only
single
use.
Bathrooms
people
were
only
one
person
at
a
time
could
go
in
there,
for
you
would
never
have
a
male
and
female
in
the
bathroom.
At
the
same
time,
Thank
you
Thank
You,.

Good
morning,
this
area
is
called
to
order.
The
public
hearing
of
the
Appropriations
Committee
on
bill
number
150
612.
My
name
is
w
wilson
jr
chair
the
committee
and
under
the
quorum
is
present.
Council
president
Darrell
Clarke
is

The

hearing
is
to
act
upon
an
agreement
that
was
done
also
pursuant
to
a
resolution
passed
by
City
Council
in
June.
That
agreement
has
been
executed,
so
we
will
move
from
our
public

directly
into
a
meeting
and
then
return
to
the
public
hearing

B
C
K
Good
morning,
chairman
good
council
president
Clark
members
of
the
City
Council
Committee
on
Appropriations
I'm
bill
height
superintendent,
school
district
Philadelphia
in
here
to
speak
on
bill
150
612
I
want
to
thank
City
Council
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
testimony
today
and
for
councils
continued
willingness
to
champion
Philadelphia
students
and
schools.
Over
the
past
five
years,
City
Council
has
supported
providing
more
than
300
million
in
additional
revenue
to
public
schools.
K
Who
would
not
have
been
able
to
maintain
current
programs
and
services
by
stepping
up
with
critical,
sustainable
resources,
city
councilors,
helping
to
address
the
school
districts
structural
deficit,
along
with
City,
Council
members
and
stakeholders
across
the
city
and
state?
We
continue
to
advocate
for
a
state
budget
that
provides
significant
additional
education
funding
to
Philadelphia
and
two
school
districts
across
Pennsylvania.
We
have
detailed
plans
primarily
developed
by
principals
and
their
teams
for
how
to
use
the
additional
resources
we
are
seeking
from
the
state.
K
The
additional
state
funds
will
allow
schools
to
offer
and
expand
important
academic
and
social,
emotional
programs
and
resources
that
support
student
learning.
These
are
things
such
as
art,
music,
advanced
placement
and
credit
recovery
courses
supports
for
more
counseling
nursing
services
and
tutoring
programs
and
instructional
approaches.
State
resources
will
also
support
providing
teachers
with
resources
for
instruction,
including
up-to-date
curriculum
materials,
books
and
ecology.
K
We
remain
optimistic
that
the
governor
and
legislature
will
come
to
agreement
on
a
state
budget
that
reflects
the
high
priority
citizens
in
this
city
and
across
Pennsylvania
placed
on
public
education
and
their
schools.
With
your
help,
we
have
steadied
the
financial
situation
of
the
district,
and
we
have
much
more
to
do
to
achieve
our
overarching
goal.
That
is
ensuring
that
all
children
have
a
great
public
school
close
to
where
they
live.
We
are
addressing
long-standing
systemic
issues
and
building
momentum
in
the
public
schools,
both
district
run
and
charter
run.
K
We
know
it
will
take
time
in
a
collective
effort
to
build
a
system
of
great
schools
across
Philadelphia.
For
that
reason,
especially
encouraged
about
the
cooperation
agreement,
the
School
District
School,
Reform,
Commission
and
city
council
sign
last
week.
Thank
you
for
your
ongoing
support.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
committee
members.
Thank.
C
A
First
of
all,
dr.
hi,
thank
you
for
your
continued
service
to
the
children
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
In
your
commitment
as
a
public
servant,
probably
one
of
the
most
significant
roles
that
can
one
can
play
is
educating
our
young
people
and
I
want
to
thank
Commissioner
Neff.
In
addition
to
and
you've
been
doing
a
good
job.
Commissioner,
as
the
chair,
as
you
reference
in
your
testimony
and
again,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
participants
in
pulling
together
the
document
that
allowed
us
to
create
the
intergovernmental
cooperation
agreement.
A
I
think
it
is
clearly
creates
a
blueprint
for
us
to
move
forward
in
an
accurate,
transparent
and
participatory
way
unprecedented,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
ability
for
this
legislative
body
to
be
a
part
of
ensuring
that,
from
the
fiscal
side,
we
are
at
a
level
that
we
won't
have
the
annual
school
crisis
as
it
relates
to
funding
and
one.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
a
signature
to
that,
along
with
my
colleague,
councillor
blackwell.
A
But
the
simple
matter
is
is
that
it
is
just
that
it
is
a
start,
and
we
don't
want
anybody
to
think
that
somehow
we
signed
a
document,
everything
is
going
to
be
okay.
We
will
be
moving
quickly
into
formalizing,
not
only
that
document,
but
the
process
to
ensure
that
individuals,
not
just
in
this
legislative
body
but
the
public
at
large,
and
that
want
to
thank
you
again
for
indicating
that
you
will
in
fact
make
those
documents.
Public
will
give
everybody
a
sense
of
what's
going
on
from
a
festival
perspective.
A
Clearly,
the
first
thing
that
we
need
to
do
separate
and
aside
from
this
25
million
dollars,
is
talk
about
the
structural
challenges
associated
with
the
school
district
that
we're
not
created
by
any
of
you.
All
two
predecessors
created
a
level
of
debt
that
you
know,
frankly,
speaking,
put
us
in
a
significant
hole
and
I
think
we
need
to
aggressively
move
towards
addressing
that,
both
the
state
and
the
city.
A
There
are
other
issues,
as
you
can
recall,
in
the
conclusion
of
the
budget
hearing
that
were
these
from
our
perspective,
left
somewhat
unresolved
with
respects
to
the
operational
side,
which
is
not
a
part
of
the
agreement
that
we
signed,
but
we
continue
to
have
concerns,
as
relates
to
the
workforce
and
proposed
privatization
of
some
of
that
work
for
us
clearly
and
I.
Think
everyone
would
acknowledge
that
on
the
substitute
teachers
we
did
not
end
up
in
a
place
that
any
of
us
were
comfortable
with,
and
that
continues
to
be
a
problem.
A
We
know
that
the
issue
with
respect
to
the
nurses
is
still
out
there
at
some
point.
We
will
get
to
some
conclusion
on
that.
But
again,
as
we
indicated
at
that
point,
we
did
have
some
significant
reservations
about
that,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
other
issues
with
which
I
referenced
at
the
signing.
I
believe
in
order
to
have
a
the
level
of
consistency
and
a
sustainability
got
to
get
a
contract.
Yeah.
K
A
Of
get
a
contract
because
we
need
to
understand
what
the
baseline
expenditures
are
and
that
will
be
determined
by
the
contract
between
the
administration
and
its
workforce
and
the
sooner
I.
Frankly
speaking,
we
get
that
the
better
and
not
only
will
it
from
a
fiscal
perspective,
but
in
terms
of
having
a
working
relationship
with
the
workers
that
one
should
have.
You
know
we
had
our
own
five-year
dust-up
on
a
city
level
for
quite
a
number
of
years
and
to
created
the
level
acrimony
that
none
of
us
felt
good
about.
A
Unfortunately,
we
ultimately
got
a
contract
and
I
see
is
reflected
in
this
municipal
works
for
us
willingness
and
interest
in
providing
continuing
to
provide
the
services.
The
second
thing
is
our
aggressive
push
towards
Community
Schools
I.
Think
that
it's
clear
that
all
the
work
that
these
members
have
done
in
putting
together
doc.
That
puts
us
in
a
position
that
the
first
response
to
a
challenge
will
not
be
to
stick
our
hands
into
taxpayers:
pockets,
because
there
are
opportunities
for
external
resources
that
will
enhance
our
ability
to
have
the
appropriate
healthcare
services
and
teacher
development.
A
A
I
won't
get
into
a
significant
number
of
detailed
conversations
that
day
about
the
monthly
issues
that
we
raised
over
the
last
budget
hearing,
because
now
we
are
at
after
signing
that
document
and
we
now
can
get
to
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
fiscal
challenges
that
are
faced
with
the
school
district
and
our
interval
will
be
an
integral
part
of
coming
up
with
a
resolution
to
those
I
just
want
to
thank
in.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
participation,
Thank
You
mr.
chair.
Thank
you.
Welcome.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
president,
dr.
height,
as
you
know,
we
will
have
a
resolution
heard
on
a
21st
where
we'll
ask
a
lot
of
these
same
issues,
so
all
that
we
know
today
as
appropriations
and
we're
talking
about
this
money
transfer,
but
all
these
other
issues,
many
of
which
the
president
just
referenced
I'm
sure,
will
be
asked
again
and
we'll
submit
them
again
on
a
21st.
So
you
get
another
chance
to
respond.
F
Good
morning
want
to
salute
you
as
well,
dr.
height
for
working
closely
with
President
Clark
and
creating
really
another
milestone
in
the
relationship
between
the
school
district
and
the
president's
office
and
I'll
I've,
been
informed
by
the
president
staff
and
I
understand
that
the
regular
briefings
that
we
will
receive
will
be
primarily
focused
on
the
academic
education
aspects
of
the
district.
I.
Don't
want
the
opportunity
to
go
pass,
however,
and
not
in
alerting
you
that
I
end
up
the
members
of
this
body
also
want
to
know
in
detail.
F
C
K
G
When,
mr.
Deveaux
morning,
chairman
good
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Rob
du
Bois,
director
of
finance
and
I'm
here
to
testify
in
support
of
bill
number
150,
6
12,
the
bill
proposes
to
transfer
25
million
dollars
from
the
council
to
the
city's
annual
contribution
to
the
school
district.
A
portion
of
the
projected
increase
in
property
tax
from
the
rate
increase
enacted
last
spring,
was
intended
to
come
to
the
city
and
then
be
provided
to
the
district.
This
transfer
would
make
that
possible.
We
support
this
action
to
provide
additional
recurring
funding
to
the
district.
H
G
J
Thanks
to
the
dogged
work
of
some
of
our
media,
we
are
hearing
firsthand
about
some
of
the
serious
consequences
that
happen
to
students
and
their
learning
when
we
may
overstate
or
over
assume
the
benefits
of
privatization.
This
does
not
mean,
of
course,
at
some
contracting
limited
and
with
due
diligence
on
Oversight,
doesn't
have
its
place.
Of
course
it
does.
J
But
in
the
last
few
years
we
have
seen
a
significant
expansion
of
privatization
that
has
had
deeply
troubling
consequences
that
we're
not
tracking,
very
well
I
think
that
it's
clear
that
the
source
for
teachers
substitute
situation
has
been
well
documented.
But
the
bigger
concern
is
that
77
students
in
a
classroom
at
mass
bomb
when
I
contacted
the
district,
will
not
be
relieved
until
October,
19th
and
school
started
on
September.
Eighth.
J
It
feels
like
that's
a
situation
that
is
extremely
urgent
and
serious,
that
schools
shouldn't
be
left
to
fend
for
themselves
or
figure
that
out
that
that
needs
to
be
an
immediate
deployment
and
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
jump
on
that
very
clearly
and
that
we
want
the
district
to
be
on
top
of
that
and
figure
out
how
to
support
it.
The
nurses
and
counselor
situation
has
also
been
well
documented,
but
I
also
want
to
emphasize
again
that
it
is
not
getting
any
better.
J
Even
after
months
and
years
of
addressing
this
issue,
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
not
significant
chunks
of
money
that
we're
talking
about.
When
the
nurses
moved
from
1500
12
750
student
ratio
to
12
1500
student
ratio,
it
was
in
the
range
of
five
to
seven
million
dollars
at
the
time
in
2013
the
school
district
recently
or
testified
that
to
get
a
counselor
back
in
every
school
would
be
on
the
range
of
3.7
million
dollars.
This
is
certainly
doable
and
necessary
at
this
time.
J
I
feel
like
this
is
a
doable
situation
that,
if
council,
is
that
this
is
the
appropriate
and
necessary
and
much
needed
oversight
body
to
start
asking
some
of
these
questions,
I
want
to
make
a
quick
pitch
on
something
that
hasn't
been
talked
about.
Very
much,
which
is
a
the
rapid
privatization
around
speech
therapy
and
services
around
speech
therapy.
So
there
are
about
130.
J
Twenty
percent
of
these
contractors
quit
mid-year
and
that
there
are
10
to
15
positions
that
may
even
be
open
in
the
district,
but
it's
important
for
people
and
for
all
of
us
to
start
tracking
and
paying
attention
to
these
things
in
part,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
speech
is
a
federally
mandated
service
and
if
kids
are
going
without
it
or
if
they
are
being
interrupted,
my
own
son
had
a
significant
speech
impediment.
He
can't
see
multiple
speech
therapists
in
a
year.
This
needs
to
be
consistent.
They
need
to
track
growth.
J
We
have
an
open
site
called
Mike
Kelly
schools,
com,
which
is
tracking
complaints
to
this
about
school
services.
We've
received
several
dozen
unsolicited
complaints
about
lack
of
services
in
schools,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
want
to
see
this
as
a
partnership
with
the
district
that
we
want
to
figure
out
solutions
to
this,
but
that
it
is
extremely
important
with
the
limited
amount
of
funds
that
we
have,
that
we
particularly
laser
in
and
focus
in
on
the
basic
and
essential
services
that
are
necessary
needed
in
schools.
J
C
F
This
Gilman
thicker,
please
report
back
to
the
table
so
operating
on
the
philosophy
that
you
cannot
hold
people
responsible
for
that
which
you
have
not
brought
to
their
attention.
That's
how
I
try
to
live.
I
I
assume
you've
registered
your
your
concerns,
your
observations
with
the
school
district
in
a
way
that
lets
them
know
a
you're
interested,
be
your
concern
and
see
seeking
to
work
through
with
them.
What
those
possible
remedies
could
be.
