A
B
Good
morning,
City
Council,
it
is
custom
for
council
I.
Ask
that
you
bow
your
heads,
if
not
we
understand
dear
Heavenly,
Father
I.
Thank
you
on
behalf
of
all
who
are
gathered
here
today,
I.
Thank
you
for
your
many
blessings
and
for
your
many
and
abundant
blessings.
Thank
you
for
life
and
for
the
measure
of
health
that
we
need
to
fulfill
our
calling
for
sustenance
and
friendship.
Thank
you
for
the
ability
to
be
involved
in
useful
work
and
for
the
honor
of
bearing
our
appropriate
responsibilities.
I.
B
Thank
you
as
well
for
the
freedom
to
embrace
you
or
the
freedom
to
reject
you.
Thank
you
for
loving
us.
So
from
your
boundless
and
gracious
nature
in
the
Scriptures,
you
have
said
that
citizens
ought
to
obey
the
governing
authorities,
since
you
have
established
those
authorities
to
promote
peace
order
and
justice.
B
Therefore,
I
pray
for
our
mayor
for
the
various
levels
of
city
officials
and
in
particular
this
a
symbol
Council
today
I
am
asking
that
you
would
graciously
grant
them
the
wisdom
to
govern
amid
the
conflicting
interests
and
issues
of
our
city
and
of
our
times
that
you
will
grant
them
a
sense
of
welfare.
A
sense
of
the
welfare
and
true
needs
of
our
people
for
your
scripture
also
says
that
the
people
prosper.
B
The
city
prospers
I,
pray
that
you
will
grant
them
a
king
thirst
for
justice
and
rightness
I
pray
that
you
will
grant
them
the
confidence
in
what
is
good
and
fitting
I
pray
that
you
will
grant
them
the
ability
to
work
together
in
harmony.
Even
when
there
is
honest
disagreement,
I
ask
that
you
grant
some
personal
peace
in
their
own
lives
and
joy
in
their
tasks.
I
pray
for
the
agenda
set
here
today.
B
A
C
A
You
it
is
the
mood
improbably
second,
that
the
journal
of
the
meeting
of
Thursday
April
27
to
2017
stand
approved.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
those
opposed
I
have
it
and
the
journal
is
approved.
The
next
order
of
business
is
request
for
leave
of
absence,
and
the
chair
recognizes
councilman
Heenan
Thank.
D
E
A
You
councilman
at
this
time,
I
would
like
to
dispense
with
the
regular
order
of
business
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
and
thank
everyone
who
has
taken
time
out
of
their
busy
day
to
come
down
to
witness
their
government
in
action.
We
hope
you
stay
here
today
is
a
knowledgeable
one,
but,
more
importantly,
a
pleasurable
one,
so
much
so
that
you
come
back
again,
so
we
really
appreciate
you
coming
down
and
seeing
us
today.
This
time
the
chair
recognizes,
councilman
Jones
will
present
a
resolution
recognizing
Gina
Snyder
with
Miss
Snyder
and
those
accompanying
her.
F
Is
a
city
of
neighborhoods?
It's
often
been
said,
I'd
like
to
say
in
my
district:
it
is
a
city
of
small
towns
with
various
Main
streets
that
reflect
the
neighborhoods
in
which
they
reside.
I
was
told
by
this
young
lady
when
I
first
got
elected,
then
I
asked
her
how
to
become
a
part
of
the
community,
and
she
explained
to
me
well
to
be
a
father.
It
takes
20
years
of
involvement,
so
I
want
to
inform
you
today
that
I'm
halfway
there
and
then
maybe
in
another
10
years,
I
will
truly
be
a
father.
F
This
Gina
Schneider
has
been
a
dogged
advocate
for
both
businesses
and
the
community.
Businesses
like
in
Riva,
the
trolley
car
cafe,
LaBeouf's
4th,
Street,
Cookie
Company
all
have
come
and
discovered
East
Falls
because
of
her
continued
advocacy
managing
issues
such
as
the
bike
race,
a
neighborhood
border
disputes.
She
has
been
an
ambassador
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
businesses
and
I'm
thankful
to
have
a
partner
or
had
a
partner
and
continue
to
have
a
partner
who
has
been
fighting
for
that,
whether
it's
capital
projects
get
money
out
of
us
for
that.
G
Whereas
EF
DC
started
as
a
wholly
volunteer
organization,
with
almost
no
budget
determined
to
uplift,
the
organization
Jena
developed
multiple
funding
streams
that
have
put
the
corporation
on
sound
financial
footing
with
a
budget
that
has
grown
to
over
$200,000
per
year.
Jean
I,
don't
know
why
you're
going
to
France.
We
need
your
here.
E
E
Now
the
trolley
car
cafe
Jena
also
helped
to
establish
the
gateway
to
East
Falls,
a
pedestrian
Island
with
signature
signage
to
calm
traffic
and
welcome
people
to
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
a
dance
on
the
Falls,
Bridge
and
major
event
that
has
grown
into
a
regional
attraction
and
whereas
Gina
was
also
instrumental
in
adding
a
parking
lot
and
on
street
parking
along
Ridge
Avenue
and
the
saw
streetscape
improvements
with
new
pedestrian
scale
street
lights.
She
also
brought
in
farm
to
city
and
started
the
East
Falls
Farmers
Market
and.
H
Whereas
in
addition
to
her
day-to-day
work
in
the
community,
Gina
also
has
been
involved
in
citywide
economic
development
efforts,
including
10
years
on
the
board
of
directors
of
the
Philip
II
Association
of
Community
Development
Corporation's,
where
she
helped
originate
the
commercial
corridor
working
group.
She
also
started
and
led
the
Northwest
commercial
corridors
coalition,
a
working
group
of
organizations
in
Chestnut,
Hill,
Mount,
Airy,
Germantown,
West,
Oak,
Lane,
Roxboro,
Manayunk
and
East
Falls,
and
whereas
in
March
of
2017
gina
announced
that
she
was
leaving
her
position
as
executive
director
of
eft
see.
H
F
Wine
cheese
and
truffles
in
a
bad
way
to
spend
a
year
where,
as
Gina,
will
spend
the
next
year,
traveling
with
her
husband
and
two
children
to
the
South
of
France
for
a
year
now,
therefore
bid
we
saw
by
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
that
it
hereby
recognized
and
honored
Gina
Schneider
on
14
years
as
executive
director
of
East
Falls
Development
Corporation
further
resolved
that
in
a
gross
copy
of
this
resolution,
will
be
presented
to
Gina
Snyder.
As
evidence
of
our
sincere
admiration
of
this
entire
legislative
body,.
C
C
Just
I
really
want
to
thank
councilman
Jones,
the
other
support
of
the
city
councilman's.
We
started
with
Councilman
Michael
another
who
then
became
the
mayor
and
I
particularly
wanted
to
thank
a
council
of
former
councilman
Wilson
good
jr.,
who
started
the
business
privileged
tax
credit
program
and
I
really
want
to
honor
him
on
that
program
and
the
support
from
councilman
Jones
and
the
other
council.
People
has
allowed
the
east-west
Development
Corporation
to
leverage
millions
of
dollars
in
resources
and
to
become
another
regional
asset

Philadelphia

A
B
B
Three
things
one
first
I
need
to
say
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
that
led
to
today's
resolution,
which
better
captures
the
intent
of
the
previous
resolution
and,
more
importantly,
has
captured
the
attention
of
those
among
us
who
care
about
the
issues
I'm
appreciative
of
those
co-sponsors
and
other
members
who
has
expressed
an
interest
about
this
issue
where,
in
their
own
professional
experience,
has
informed
their
expression.
The
goal
is
not
to
be
adversarial.
B
A
A
B
B
I
I
F
A
I
I
probably
resolution
authorizing
the
joint
city
council
committees
on
Public,
Safety,
Public,
Health
and
Human
Services
and
the
environment.
The
whole
public
hearings
reviewing
and
investigating
major
planned
construction
by
Pico
to
build
a
massive
electric
substation
at
two
thousand
North
59th
Street
in
West,
Philadelphia
and.
A
J
E
E
However,
it
wasn't
that
long
ago,
when
the
hospitality
and
tourism
industry
was
not
great
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
today's
legislation
creates
a
Improvement
District
which
allows
us
to
continue
the
progress
that
we
have
made
in
reference
to
hospitality
and
tourism.
In
our
city,
we
have
approximately
8,000
employees
and
hotels
throughout
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
about
71
thousand
people
that
work
in
the
hospitality
industry,
and
this
industry
provides
a
living
wage
for
people
in
our
city
and
also
provides
an
entry
point
for
people
to
move
up
into
other
positions
in
the
tourism
industry.
E
We
need
to
continue
and
maintain
the
great
progress
that
we're
making
in
hospitality
on
this
one
of
our
major
sectors
that
bring
dollars
to
our
general
fund
and
helps
to
provide
entrepreneurship
opportunity
to
economic
development,
not
only
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
but
throughout
the
region,
and
so,
as
we
continue
to
try
to
promote
these
great
events
in
our
city,
you
have
other
jurisdictions
that
are
also
trying
to
do
the
same
recently.
We
all
are
aware,
when
the
NBA
all-star
game
started
to
leave
Charlotte
because
of
legislation
that
was
passed
in
their
General
Assembly.
E
They
were
looking
at
coming
to
the
city
of
Fadel
filled
with
the
all-star
game,
because
us
on
the
financial
constraints
that
we
have
as
a
city
ruin.
Oh
we're
not
able
to
successfully
recruit
on
the
NBA
all-star
game
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Through
this
legislation,
we'll
have
the
resources
to
do
then.
Other
great
events
I'll
help
to
continue
the
progress
we're
making
in
our
hospitality
and
tourism
industry.
I
look
forward
to
an
engaged
conversation,
regardless
legislation
and
look
forward
to
support
from
my
colleagues
towards
future
passage.
Thank
You
council,
president
Thank.
I
A
B
You,
mr.
president,
I
have
one
bill
and
two
privilege
resolutions.
The

Melanie

ten
years

Council,
along
with

schooler

my

co-sponsored
by
council
members,
Reynolds
Brown,
Kenan,

and
I
also

want
to
encourage
my

all
remember
to
wear
purple

just

However,
I
propose
that
there
should
be
an
exception
for
violent
cases
well
for
violent
cases
such
as
when
a
child
may
be
in
danger,
or
vice
versa,
and
also,
rather
than
suspending
children
after
this
all
be
more
beneficial
to
provide
training
and
resources
to
involve
interventions
that
promote
different
values
such
as
respect,
tolerance,
a
promote
community
togetherness
and
also
acceptance
of
others.
For
example,
maybe
loving-kindness
meditation
of
four
different
children
in
order
to
maybe
decrease
bullying
or
decrease
violent
behaviors
and
children
or
decrease
aggression.
Issues
such
as
that.
A
A
J
J
Council
president,
yesterday
council
president
and
Cheltenham
high
school,
there
were
four
young
ladies
fighting
in
a
school
hallway
during
that
fight
for
young
men
also
joined
in
the
fight,
and
eight
teachers
tried
to
break
up
the
fight
where
two
of
the
teachers
suffered
concussions
and
one
was
actually
knocked
out
and
as
I
watched
the
news.
Last
evening,
we
kept
seeing
the
clips
of
these
young
people
fighting
in
this
teacher
being
knocked
out,
and
so
today,
I
am
calling
on
our
house
generals
the
General
Assembly
of
Pennsylvania,
specifically
the
Senate,
to
reject
bill
383.
J
During
the
report,
the
Pennsylvania
Senate
in
the
house
both
studied
the
issue
of
allowing
school
personnel
to
carry
firearms
and
found
it
not
advisable.
The
Pennsylvania
House
Select
Committee
on
school
safety,
exquisite
explicit,
explicitly
stated
in
2014
that
it
didn't
that
that
it
did
not
recommend
army
general
school
personnel.
In
the
same
report,
testimony
from
state
agencies,
law
enforcement
groups,
education
groups
and
district
attorneys
led
the
Select
Committee
to
recommend
their
only
only
school
police
officers
or
security
officers
be
armed
on
school
property
and
advisory
committee
on
violence.
J
Prevention
formed
at
the
direction
of
the
state
Senate
echoed
the
same
conclusions
of
the
House
Select
Committee
when
they
wrote
in
its
2014
report,
police
officers
undergo
extensive
training
and
the
use
of
their
weapons
and
teachers
do
not.
Therefore,
it
is
unreasonable
to
expect
a
teacher
to
have
the
same
firearms
competency
as
a
law
enforcement
officer
and
not
sound
policy
to
assign
such
responsibilities
to
a
teacher,
and
so,
if
you
watch
the
video
yesterday
and
I
remember
in
my
district
at
John,
Bartram
High
School,
another
teacher
was
knocked
out.
J
J
They
may
not
be
able
to
defend
themselves
in
an
environment
that
may
be
hostile
when
a
fight
starts
and
who
just
they
have
a
young
person,
have
a
mental
health
issue
or
a
young
person
just
totally
knocked
the
teacher
out
and
take
their
gun,
and
so
I
just
want
to
ask
or
affirmative
vote
from
all
of
my
colleagues
and
rejecting
Senate
bill
383.
We
understand
that
people
have
a
right
to
carry
firearms
and
I
recognize
that
we
want
to
use
common
sense
in
this
particular
case.

A
A
G
You,
mr.
president
and
colleagues,
it's
always
a
sad
moment
when
one
loses
a
staff.
Member
shannond
Marianna
has
been
with
me
from
the
beginning
of
my
time
in
council
and
she's
helped
our
office
very,
very
well.
The
happy
thing
is
she's,
going
back
to
her
home
state
of
Georgia
and
to
continue
the
study
of
the
science
that
we
practice
here.
Every
day
in
this
chamber,
political
science
is
an
important
subject.
F
F
F
I'm
sure
a
student
from
every
one
of
the
districts
here
in
Philadelphia
have
won
these
awards.
They
are
provided
by
Scholastic,
art,
writing,
Philadelphia
writing
project
and
the
Philadelphia
Arts
and
Education
Partnership
that
will
be
5
p.m.
to
7
p.m.
in
the
mayor's
reception
room.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Honoring
all
the
firefighters
but
I
will
next
week
and
I
make
sure
that
all
members
of
council
had
the
opportunity
to
decide
on
the
commissioner
in
his
new
philosophy
of
of
training-
and
you
know,
being
a
commissioner
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia-
was
able
to
host
international
firefighters
from
France
for
the
past
several
days,
and
you
know
discussing
their
leadership
philosophy
in
France
discussing
how
we
operate
and
do
our
command
here
to
City
Philadelphia.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
Commissioner
on
this
day
for
his
innovation
and
his
firefighter
practices.
D
I
want
to
thank
his
command.
I'm
going
to
thank
local
22
know
thank
all
the
families
of
the
passive
pressure
who
live
right
on
the
front
lines
every
day,
so
firefighters
dedicate
their
lives
to
the
protection
of
life
and
property.
Sometimes
that
dedication
comes
in
two
forms
of
countless
hours
volunteered
over
many
years
and
others.
It
is
many
selfless
years
of
working
in
the
industry.
In
all
cases,
though,
it
is
the
risk
ultimately
of
the
ultimate
sacrifice
of
a
firefighters
life
international
firefighters
day,
which
is
today
every
May.
D
4Th
is
a
time
where
the
world's
community
could
come
together
and
recognize
and
honor
the
sacrifices
that
the
firefighters
make
to
ensure
that
their
communities
and
the
environment
is
safe
as
possible.
It
is
also
a
day
in
which
your
current
and
past
firefighters
could
be
thanked
for
their
contributions.
Just
yesterday,
the
Commissioner
its
command
and
local
22
celebrated
at
the
the
living
flame.
You
know
with
with
with
our
guests,
so
they
were
able
to
contribute
in
memory
so
they're.
D
So
international
fire
is
a
third,
as
I
said,
is
observed
every
May
4th
and
on
this
day,
and
we
are
invited
to
remember
those
who
have
sacrificed
our
life
and
serving
our
community
and
dedicated
their
lives
and
protecting
us
all,
keeping
us
safe.
At
the
same
time,
we
taped
today
can
show
to
support
an
appreciation,
as
we
pass
a
firefighter
as
we
pass
a
station
and
just
thank
them
for
their
service.
D
Thank
them
for
protecting
our
equipment,
our
environment,
protecting
us,
and
we
here
recognize
that
as
we
give
them
the
tools
I
think
they
had
an
awesome
budget
submitted
and
today
in
this
year's
budget,
unlike
we
haven't
seen
in
the
past,
and
is
my
pleasure
to
support
that
as
we
move
forward.
So
I
want
to
thank
every
firefighter
every
paramedic
and
every
family
member
of
local
22
in
their
command
for
their
service.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
You,
mr.
president,
first
let
me
thank
my
colleague,
Maria
Sanchez
for
recently
inviting
me
up
to
tour
the
Pepsi
plant,
where
we
coca-cola,
plus,
okay,
wrong
brand
same
issue,
so
the
coca-cola
plant,
in
our
district,
where
we
had
opportunity
to
interact
with
workers
and
some
of
them
a
little
bit
salty
about
the
sugary
drinks
tax,
but
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
see
what
was
going
on
on
the
first
end
and
I.
Thank
her
for
that.
F
I
also
want
to
thank
Councilwoman
bass
for
her,
as
Blondell
Reynolds
Brown
says:
laser-beam
attention
to
small
neighborhood
stores
in
their
conduct
within
our
community,
whether
it's
dealing
with
shot
glasses
or
other
things
that
detract
from
the
quality
of
life,
but
I
have
to
tell
you.
I
was
in
my
district
and
I,
went
to
the
opening
of
a
fresh
grocery
store
up
on
monument
road
and
in
Aisle
seven.
My
man
Dupree
came
up
to
me
a
little
bit
overweight.
He
was
waddling
a
little
bit
and
he
said
and
I
promised
him.
F
I
would
give
the
message
to
him.
He
said
you
know
how
much
my
Pepsi
or
coke
and
my
cigarettes
cost
nowadays
because
of
y'all
you've
raised
the
cigarette
tax.
You
raise
the
sugary
drinks.
Tax
is
cost
me.
So
in
my
mind,
I
did
the
quick
calculation
was
about
1250.
If
you
get
the
you
know,
one
sale,
kind
of
thing
and
I
understood
his
plight.
He
coughed
as
he
walked
away.
I,
don't
understand
why
he's
smoking
and
drinking
Pepsi,
but
that's
his
personal
choice
to
do
I.
F
Think
about
when
my
mother
and
my
father
sent
me
to
the
corner
store
to
get
their
Pepsi
and
their
cigarettes.
My
mom
Virginia
Slims,
my
father,
pall
malls
I,
want
to
say
this
that
I
had
to
bury
both
of
my
parents.
I
won
because
of
lung
cancer
and
the
other
she
had
a
stroke,
and
when
we
and
my
brother
found
her
at
the
height
of
the
snowstorm,
there
was
a
cigarette
that
had
burnt
out
in
the
Astra,
so
she
she
went
out
the
way
she
wanted
not
getting.
F
So
when
these
taxes
come
up
now,
I
think
about
the
fact
that
my
granddaughter
is
in
pre-k.
She
wasn't
in
pre-k
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
so
if
I
love
my
man,
Dupree
I
love,
my
granddaughter
more
and
I
understand
that.
So
there
are
two
trips
that
we
had.
I
went
up
to
the
shop
right
and
one
thing
my
good
friend
of
Jeff
Brown
fought
to
Finnell
about
this.
He
had
us
all
on
a
milk
cartons
game
there
talking
about
what
we
did,
but
I
appreciated
his
upfront
worth
right,
advocacy
against
it.
F
But
when
I
went
there
yesterday
he
had
a
whole
section.
I
put
this
photo
on
everybody's
desk,
where
he
had
a
whole
section
that
was
dedicated
to
non
products
that
are
non
sugary,
drink,
impacted
the
whole
section,
fruit
juices
and
all
of
that
and
I
thought
that
that
was
a
kind
thing,
a
responsible
thing
to
do
for
the
consumers.
F
So
the
second
trip
to
my
barber
shop,
my
barber
laid
me
up,
said
that
in
the
corner
store
where
he
goes
and
I
won't
identify
it,
they
were
charging
him
for
a
hundred
percent
apple
juice,
applying
the
text
to
it
and
it
hurt
me
because
you
know
you
should
not
gouge
the
people
to
apply
it
to
product
that
are
not
eligible,
for
that
is
wrong
and
I
want
to
encourage
that
I
learn
I
in
revenue.
Take
a
look
at
it.
F
You
cannot
wonder
you
know
at
our
expense,
political
then
apply
it
and
you
reap
double
profits
off
of
that.
That
is
wrong,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can,
as
we
look
at
the
benefit
of
this,
we're
over
12
million
in
revenue,
God
willing
that
will
go
to
the
purposes
that
it
was
supposed
to
go
to
that.
Those
of
us
who
are
not
good
neighbors.
F
Those
of
us
who
are
not
good
stewards
of
those
businesses
do
not
take
advantage
and
Gao
gals
for
people
as
a
result
of
their
inability
to
distinguish
what
is
taxable
about
sugary
drinks
and
what
is
not,
and
so
we're
going
to
keep
an
eye
towards
that.
Imma
join
on
my
colleague
bass
and
my
colleague
clinch
has
to
make
sure
that
those
things
don't
happen
to
inner-city
people
unfairly,
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,.
E
You,
council
president,
the
legislation
we
passed
today
and
the
ongoing
issues
in
our
city
that
prompted
it
aren't
critical
to
the
people
of
Philadelphia.
During
the
hearing
on
this
piece
of
legislation,
I
mentioned
how
this
body
over
many
decades
has
been
a
strong
advocate
for
progressive
policies
becoming
a
national
leader
regarding
issues
of
Rights
for
minorities,
particularly
in
addressing
LGBTQ
concerns
in
the
city
of
Fidel
fiha.
Nevertheless,
in
the
City
of
Brotherly,
Love
and
sisterly
affection
discrimination
continues.
E
Last
fall
I
her
staring
testimony
at
the
foot
of
the
Commission
on
Human
Relations
hearing
from
various
advocates
and
others
in
the
community.
Some
have
been
fighting
for
quality
of
treatment
and
equality,
access
to
public
accommodations
and
equality
of
human
dignity,
human
dignity
over
those
same
decades.
I
remain
concerned
that,
although
we
have
come
far,
but
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go
to
obtain
equal
treatment
for
each
of
our
residents,
this
legislation
is
a
way
to
prompt
fairness
to
those
who
would
not
do
so.
E
Otherwise,
the
bill
empowers
the
Commission
on
Human
Relations
to
issue
cease
operation
orders
against
businesses
that
has
ruled
that
it
has
ruled,
have
engaged
in
severe
or
repeated
violations
of
the
existing
Fair
practice,
ordinance
anti-discrimination
provisions
without
effective
efforts
to
remediate
those
violations,
in
other
words,
after
a
fair
hearing
process,
when
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
Commission
to
rectify
its
discrimination,
businesses
could
be
closed
down
for
discrimination.
That's
particularly
severe.
E
That
is
an
easy
bar
to
clear
for
violation
that
had
largely
existed
for
decades
and
far
more
actual
than
a
treatment
experience
by
those
whom
this
bill
seeks
to
protect,
which
do
not.
People
live
in
our
city
or
people
who
visit
our
city
being
treated
differently
based
on
fundamental
aspects
of
their
identity.
E
By
the
establishes
that
operate
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
considering
where
we
are
as
a
country
as
a
nation
and
as
a
city,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
sending
the
message
to
all
people
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
regardless
of
your
ethnicity,
gender,
sexual
orientation.
We
are
that
we
are
welcoming.
City
Philadelphia
is
the
City
of
Brotherly,
Love
and
sisterly
affection,
and
we
invite
all
people
to
participate
in
our
society
and
economy
to
help
foster
growth
and
share
our
prosperity.
E
H
Thank
You
council
president
I
have
two
comments.
Today.
One
is
on
the
resolution
that
councillor
Knoll
and
myself
and
others
sponsored
about
the
James
Beard
Awards
I
just
want
to
give
the
full
impact
because
in
councilman
schooler's
district
we
now
have
the
best
chef,
the
United
States
in
Michael
Solomonov,
it's
a
half
and
by
the
way
in
Council
President
your
district.
We
have
greg
vernik,
best
chef,
mid-atlantic
and
vernix
on
Walnut
Street
and
then
with.
A
C
H
In
the
United
States
it's
interesting,
Stephen
Starr
was
named
the
best
restaurant
tour
in
the
country
and
the
best
restaurant
in
the
country
is
this.
Even
star
restaurant
in
New,
York
City
call
a
cuckoo.
It's
pretty
amazing,
though
at
Philadelphia
la
didn't
get
one
award
San
Francisco
an
Academy
Philadelphia
got
them
all,
which
is
amazing
for
us.
I
just
want
to
congratulate.
H
The
other
piece
of
news
is
a
completion
of
Billy
tech
week.
I
just
want
to
share
some
information
from
the
Greater
Philadelphia,
the
economy,
League
of
Greater
Philadelphia,
so
that
they
gave
out
a
report
this
week
and
they
said
of
the
top
ten
cities.
The
United
States
from
2011
to
2016
Philadelphia
has
had
the
slowest
employment
growth
of
the
top
ten
cities.
The
range
has
been
seven
to
16%,
seven
to
18
percent,
we're
at
7%.
That's
the
bad
news.
H
The
good
news
is
from
February
of
2016
to
February
of
2017,
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
just
reported
that
Philadelphia
was
the
third
best
in
the
country
for
job
creation.
Third
best
in
the
country
for
job
creation.
The
other
piece
of
interesting
news
is
a
tech
is
a
big
area
with
which
we
can
develop.
It.
I
know
that
you're
a
big
supporter
of
that,
while
our
overall
employment
is
love,
we
ranked
second
in
the
United
States
in
the
last
seven
or
two
ten
years
in
creating
the
most
tech
jobs
of
any
city
in
the
country.
H
Twenty-Five
percent
of
every
new
job
in
the
Philadelphia
from
2002
to
2015
was
in
tech
and
one
third
of
the
jobs
in
tech.
Don't
require
college
degrees,
high
school
diplomas,
that's
huge
for
us,
IT
employers
in
the
Philadelphia,
the
reports
that
are
struggling
to
fill
jobs
in
the
tech
world.
Several
tech
jobs
provide
careers
on
ramps
for
middle-class
workers
with
again
one
third
not
required
a
college
degree.
The
big
issue
for
us
is
to
educate
our
students
from
kindergarten
to
twelfth
grade
and
adults
on
the
path
and
career
opportunities
in
tech.
H
Some
of
those
organizations
I'm
just
going
to
mention
coda
by
kids
Sylvester,
is
doing
a
great
job
with
that
Philly
tech,
girls,
just
a
few
the
options,
but
here's
the
big
piece,
the
economic
job
multiplier
of
technology
is
five
to
one.
So
every
time
we
create
one
job
in
tech,
we
create
five
horde
jobs
somewhere
else.
As
an
example,
we
use
the
port
of
Philadelphia,
which
is
important.
It's
one
point
six
text,
the
future,
and
the
other
interesting
statistic
is
that
the
average
income
of
technology
jobs
is
$39,000.
H
The
salary
is
higher
than
any
other
field
39,000.
One
of
the
things
we
need
to
do
in
Philadelphia
is
to
raise
our
average
salaries
across
the
board,
so
techs
really
our
future.
We
need
to
expand
dramatically
and
whatever
we
can
do
as
a
body
to
advance
tech.
I
strongly
recommend
it.
Thank
You
councillor
Thank.
J
J
J
Last
week,
I
talked
to
a
mother
about
the
joys
of
fatherhood,
and
she
mentioned
to
me
that
when
she
found
out
that
she
was
having
a
baby
boy,
she
was
sad
and
it
hit
my
heart
because,
as
a
woman,
particularly
african-american
woman,
she
should
not
have
to
be
concerned
about
having
a
african-american
baby
growing
up,
particularly
a
male
growing
up
in
America
laughs.
We
I
stood
with
my
good
friends.
J
They
sent
in
to
anthony
hardy
lamps
in
southwest
flight
officer,
calling
on
governor
wolf
to
restore
the
illegal
gun
task
force,
funding
that
funded
the
task
force
to
the
district
attorney's
office
on
the
partnership
with
the
attorney
general's
office.
So
we
can
remain
focusing
on
the
issue
of
you've
come
volunteer
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
We
have
a
task
force
on
the
opioid
crisis.
We
have
a
task
force
on
historical
preservation
of
buildings.
J
We
have
a
task
force
on
initiative
known
as
vision,
zero
to
make
sure
bike
lanes
and
streets
are
operational
for
people
to
go
out
on
Saturday
to
still
enjoy
themselves,
but
we've
been
dealing
with
this
crisis
since
I've
started
my
life
as
an
activist
back
in
1998
starting
my
organization,
peace,
not
guns.
Each
year
we
have
thousands
of
shootings
of
young
african-american
males
between
the
ages
of
18
and
25.
We
have
hundreds
of
homicides
that
take
place
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
and
so
in
the
near
future.
