Just
before
we
get
started,
I'd
asked
if
anyone
has
a
cell
phone
or
any
other
electronic
device
that
makes
any
noise
please
turn
it
off
or
turn
it
on
airport
with
airplane
mode
or
vibration.
Appreciate
your
cooperation,
the
give
our
invocation
this
morning,
the
chair
recognizes
Pastor
Brian
grant
of
Germantown
Christian
assembly
church.
He
is
here
today
as
the
guest
of
Councilwoman
bass.
I
would
ask
all
guests,
visitors
and
members
of
please
rise.
C
He
started
throwing
more
starfish
back
into
the
water,
a
man
passed
by
him,
and
he
said
what
are
you
doing?
He
said:
I'm
saving
the
starfish,
the
man
said:
there's
hundreds
of
starfish
out
here,
the
few
that
you
are
saving
really
isn't,
making
any
difference,
you're,
really
not
making
any
impact.
The
man
didn't
say
anything.
He
picked
up
one
more
starfish.
He
threw
it
into
the
water.
He
said
it
sure
made
a
difference
to
that
one
and
you
know
sometimes
I'm
sure
in
the
work
you
do.
C
Sometimes
you
might
become
discouraged
you're
trying
to
save
the
city
and
sometimes
you're
discouraged
that
all
that
you
hope
to
see
happen
has
not
happened,
but
might
God
encourage
you
that
every
life
you
touch
every
life
you
have
impacted.
You
have
sure
made
a
difference
to
that
starfish
and
so
I
just
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
you
are
making
a
difference
and
may
God
bless
you
as
you
continue
to
serve
our
city.
Let
us
pray
Heavenly
Father.
C
We
come
to
you
today
with
a
heavy
heart
for,
despite
the
efforts
of
this
council,
despite
the
efforts
of
so
many
officials
in
our
land,
our
nation
is
filled
with
division
and
violence
Lord
in
this
time
of
challenge,
keep
us
reminded
of
the
words
of
Solomon
that
righteousness
makes
a
nation
great,
but
that
sin
will
destroy
any
people.
We
therefore
pray
that
you
will
turn
the
hearts
of
our
nation
towards
you
and
that
you
will
give
us
a
desire
to
seek
after
righteousness
and
Lord
in
this
age
of
Rage
may
each
of
us
pursue
peace.
C
Help
us
to
even
love
our
enemies.
May
we
be
challenged
by
the
words
of
st.
Francis
of
Assisi
when
he
said
Lord
make
me
an
instrument
of
your
peace
where
there
is
hatred.
Let
me
sow
love
where
there
is
injury,
pardon
where
there
is
doubt
faith
where
there
is
despair,
hope
where
there
is
darkness
light,
where
there
is
sadness,
joy
or
granted.
C
We
may
not
seek
to
be
consoled
as
to
console
to
be
understood
as
to
be
understood
to
be
loved
as
to
love
for
it
is
in
giving
that
we
receive.
It
is
in
pardoning
that
we
are
pardoned.
It
isn't
dying
that
we
are
born
again
to
eternal
life.
Heavenly
Father
I.
Ask
that
you
bless
each
member
of
the
City
Council
in
a
special
way
meet
their
needs,
as
only
you
can
in
do
them
with
wisdom
and
guide
them
to
discern
your
will.
We
pray
in
the
name
of
Christ
their
Savior
amen.
Thank
you.

B
B
Thanks
to
gentlelady
at
this
time,
I
would
like
to
dispense
with
the
regular
order
of
business
and
I
would
like
to
thank
everyone
who
has
taken
time
out
of
their
busy
day
to
come
to
witness
their
government
in
action.
We
hope
your
stay
here
today
is
a
knowledgeable
one,

more
importantly,
a
pleasurable
one,
so
much
so
that
you
come
back
again
so

Thank

At
this
time
the
chair
recognizes
councilman
Jones,
who
will
present
a
resolution
recognizing
living
legends
with
Judge
Frederico,
Messiah
Jackson
and
those
accompanied
her.
E

Of
the

chapter
of
Alpha

Sorority
Incorporated.
They
are
here
to
support
their
soror
and
our
history-making
judge
for
drinkin
Messiah
Jackson,
and
they
will
also
councilman
Johnson,
be
saying
for
the
special
hearing
of
this
afternoon
on
gun
violence.
Because
it's
the
issue
that
they've
worked
on
all.
B
D
D
The
living
legends
recognition
is
made
because
sometimes
people
are
so
busy
making
history
that
they
don't
take
the
time
to
look
up
and
smell
the
roses
and
see
the
accomplishments
in
films
that
they
have
done.
What
we
want
to
do
is
recognize
those
individuals
annually
that
are
really
making
a
difference.
A
life
is
only
measured
by
the
impact
it
has
on
other
lives,
said
Jackie
Robinson
and
that's
a
true
statement.

No

No

can
make
a

we
stand

We

I'm,
so
grateful
to
God.
O
And
thankful
to
God

because
many

I'm

I'm
also

now
it
just
an
honor
to
have
him

because
he

death

To
have
you
here,
brother
I,
think
anybody
need
to
be
here
as
well.
Along
with
me
Garrett.
You
need
to
come
and
say
something
as
well:
man,
I
love.
You
dearly
brother,
just
that
kind
of
a
man.
A
It's
an
honor
to
be
here
today.
Well,
if
you
know
Reverend
Bobby
Paul
like
I,
do
or
we
do
here-
the
man
is
just
a
man
of
love.
He
gives
everything
he's
got.
He
changes
people's
lives
every
day,
I
mean
he
takes
inner
city
kids
and
gives
them
hope
he
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
fill
it
with
a
little
sustainable
wages
and
benefits
things.
They
don't
feel
they're
entitled
to
or
have
opportunities
to
get
and
partnered
with
over
19
partner
with
Bobby
Paul
90
years

and
you
know
like
Bobby.
A
We
want
to
give
back
as
much
as
we
can
to
this
community
and
I'm
proud
to
stand
here
today
with
Reverend
Bobby
Paul,
my
union
officials
and
some
of
the
people
that
Bobby
pulled
help
are
here
today
some
women
and
some
gentlemen
who
can
actually
attest
to
the
fact
that
if
it
wasn't
for
Bobby,
they
wouldn't
be
standing
here
today.

You
very
much
I
failed
to
mention
that
the
resolutions
were
co-sponsored
by
councilmembers,
Green,
Gilmore,
Richardson
and
Heenan.
I
did
have
a
third
privilege
resolutions
that
I
did
not
introduce
because
the
gentleman
that
I
was
going
to
introduce
it
on
behalf
of
he
is
a
member
of
triumph.
Baptist

council,
members,
Kendra

in

are
also
members
and
so
will
will
introduce
that
jointly
next
week,
but
I
wanted
to
just
say
that
I
was
at
his
viewing
this
morning,
his
funerals.
L
Today
he
is
a
combat
veteran
of
the
Vietnam
War.
Having
served
in
the
that
the
first
Cavalry
Division,
his
name
is
James
Abram.
He
goes
by
the
nickname
point
man
because
he
was
a
point
man
and
our
veterans.
Here
knows
what
that
means.
He
is
a
founder
of
point
man,
soldier,
heart
ministry,
which
has
done
a
lot
of
work
and
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
him
today
and
also
I
wanted
to
recognize
that
in
the
audience
were
joined
by
Benjamin
Barry.
Who
was
a

L
B
H
You
council
president
I
also
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
students
here
from
Paul
Robeson
high,
because
Paul
Robeson
high
is
a
wonderful
public
school
in
the
third
District.
In
particular,
I
wanted
to
thank
the
students
who
took
the
time
to
write
to
me:
Kelis
Siana,
Takia,
nasiha,
lyric,
Jalen
and
muneerah.

You
wrote
to
me
about

access
about
helping
single
moms
about
your
concerns
on
gun
violence,
our
affordable
housing
crisis
and
raising
the
minimum
wage
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
those
are
really
big
issues
that
I'm
thinking
about
and
working
on
as
well.
But
hearing
from
young
people
like
you
gives
me
the
inspiration
to
keep
going.
So.
Thank
you

very
much.

Is

a

to

Martin

gave
us
all
so
that
all

would
have
secured

Even
the
most

can't
see
Council
ever
corruption
and
O'reilly
appears
even
worse
than
ever.
S
This
cane
burst
is
able
form
a
Brotherly,
Love
and
sisterly
affection,
steals
homes,
sense,
children,
too
dangerous
schools
fails
to
secure
the
houses,
persons
and
the
facts
of
the
people.
This
biblical
plague
of
corruption
requires
prosecution.
Laws
are
like
Bibles
unless
they
are
followed.
Nothing
changes
the
Constitution's
require
immediate
remedy
in
this
breach
of

a
breach
of

breach

people
require
OHS,
Constitution

be
enforced
and

is
required

all
who
violate

I
remind
Council
takes
a
lot
of
cooperation
to
create
and
allow
all
of
this
monumental.
Corruption.
R
Good
morning
still
I
made
it
by
3
minutes.
My
name
is
David.
Pearl
I
am
here
as
a
representative
from
the
state
of
Pennsylvania
to
the
national
legislature,
Legislative
Council
in
Washington
DC
for
the
VFW
I
am
one
of
two
in
the
state
of
Pennsylvania.
That
has
disappointment.
I
answer
only
to
our
commander
of
the
VFW
Daksh
mitts
and
our
VFW
legislative
office
in
Washington
DC.
The
VFW
has
over
1.6
million
members
with
over
72,000
of
them
from
the
state
of
Pennsylvania.
R
This
would
mean
translate
to
close
to
60,000
veterans
that
are
in
Philadelphia.
We
have
most
of
them
as
members
of
our
VFW
I
want
to
give
you
some
more
numbers
in
the
US
7.5
of
the
population
are
veterans.
That's
one
out
of
every
15
in
the
state
of
Pennsylvania
10
percent,
our
veterans,
one
out
of
every
ten
in
PA
counties
all
over
throughout
the
state.
10
percent
are
veterans,
but
in
Philadelphia
it's
only
four
percent.
R
Only
one
point,
eight
of
them
of
veterans,
that's
two
out
of
a
hundred
and
out
of
the
veterans
had
applied
for
city
jobs,
only
one
point,
five
of
them
out
of
100.
My
mission
today
comes
from
as
I
said,
my
boss,
the
commander
of
the
VFW
dr.
Schmidt.
It
is
a
simple
one
and
that
is
first
to
support
our
veterans
in
any
way.
That
is
possible.
R
Second
is
to
listen
what
happens
here
and
to
report,
and
the
last
is
two
weeks:
I
will
be
storming
the
hill
and
talking
to
our
national
level,
congressmen
and
Senators,
and
this
information
will
certainly
come
up
what
transcribes
here
in
Philadelphia
so
don't
think
the
world's
not
listening
at
least
our
world.
Our
mission
has
legislated
council
members
is
to
talk
with
our
members,
get
their
input
on
what
they
think
is
important
and
to
protect
the
rights
of
veterans
throughout
the
country.
R
We
don't
only
work
for
VFW
members,
we
work
for
all
veterans.
Lastly,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
recognize
my
world
war,
two
comrade
you're
the
man
buddy,
he
even
took
a
selfie
with
me.
I
want
to
thank
you,
everybody
for.
Let
me
speak
here
today
and
I'll,
take
whatever
happens
here
and
take
it
down
to
our
commander.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thanks.

You
council
president,
miss
briefly
I
just
want
to
remind
members
of
council
and
staff
that
we
will
be
having
a
lunch
briefing
with
PGW
in
the
caucus
room
and
mainly
filing
in
the
council
session,
to
give
opportunity
for
those
members
of
council
and
others
to
learn
more
information
about
on
the
workings
of
PGW,
Thank
You
council.
President
Thank.
N
You,
council
president
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
couple
minutes
to
acknowledge.
Actually
you
and
the
work
that
you've
done
earlier
this
week,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
join
you
at
the
dedication
for
the
Edison
64
for
the
64
people
who
attended
Edison,
High
School,
who
essentially
died
in
the
Vietnam
War,
and
not
only
was
it
a
touching
opportunity.
N
For
me,
it
was
also
a
touching
opportunity
for
my
father,
who
is
with
us
in
council
today,
as
his
brother
was
one
of
the
64
members
of
Edison
High
School
passed
away
and
the
Vietnam
War
so
I
wanted.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
I
want
to
also
thank
all
the
veterans
who
are
here
today
and
I
did
morning.
N
B
And
I
actually
inherited
from
my
good
friend
and
colleague
Councilwoman
Kiana
Sanchez.
It
was
actually
started
when
that
part
of
the
city
was
in
her
council
Matic
district.
So
that
gives
you
