A
Due
to
the
current
public
health
emergency
city
council
is
currently
meeting
remotely.
We
are
using
microsoft's
teams
to
make
this
remote
meeting
possible
instructions
for
how
the
public
may
view
the
meeting
and
offer
public
comment
on,
including
in
the
stated
meeting
notice
that
was
published
in
the
daily
news,
enquirer
and
legal
intelligencer
prior

and

By
way
of
a
simple
reminder,
we're
asking
that
all
resolutions,
including
privileged
resolutions,
be
placed
on
the
final
passage
calendar
for
the
next
session
of
council
unless
they
are
being
referred
to
committee
in
our
current
remote
environment.
This
procedure
will
provide
an
appropriate
opportunity
for
public
comment
and
I
obviously
want
to
thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
cooperation.
B
Councilwoman
kim
offers
one
bill
entitled
an
ordinance,
adding
a
new
chapter,
9
5300
to
the
philadelphia
code,
entitled
travel
and
hospitality.
Hospitality,
worker,
recall
and
retention
to
require
that
certain
laid
off
employees
in
certain
hospitality
and
travel
related
industries
are
offered
job
positions
as
they
become
available.
H
Be
recognized,
yes,
thank
you
very
much
council.
Then.
I
appreciate
it.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
how
important
this
work
is.
Councilmember,
johnson,
council,
member
thomas
and
a
broad
majority
of
city
council
have
come
together
to
introduce
an
economic
justice
package
for
philadelphia's
hospitality,
tourism
and
airport
workers.
H
This
is
a
city
where
one
in
two
philadelphians
has
lost
a
job
or
seen
a
decline
in
income,
and
we
know
that
economic
recovery
and
the
health
of
our
city
relies
on
black
brown
and
immigrant
workers
in
our
communities
and
neighborhoods
returning
to
work
as
soon
as
businesses
open
black
workers
matter.
This
is
a
council
that
knows
how
much
that
means.
We've
put
teeth
to
it.
We've
established
a
formal
department
of
labor
we've
expanded,
paid,
sick
leave.
We've
constantly
supported
the
right
for
collective
bargaining,
we've
passed
national
models
to
expand
and
protect
labor
rights.
H
This
is
a
council
that
not
only
recognizes
that
black
workers
matter.
It
proves
it
every
day.
So
today
we
we
will
be
standing
alongside
philadelphia
workers
who
are
the
economic
engines
of
our
city.
There
are
no
hotels,
there
are
no
stadiums
and
there's
not
a
philadelphia
international
airport.
Without
the
hard
work
of
these
folks
when
coronavirus
hit,
they
were
also
among
the
millions
of
pennsylvanians
who
were
the
first
to
find
themselves
without
work,
applying
for
unemployment
and
relying
on
our
nation's
far
too
thin
safety
net.
H
Often
for
the
very
first
time,
I
want
to
say
that
this
bill
is
going
to
go
through
a
robust
public
process,
as
it
always
does,
there
will
be
everybody
at
the
table
will
be
forming
out
conversations
with
industry
as
well
as
council
members
and
our
labor
leaders
and
advocates
as
well.
So
we
expect
to
to
do
that.
Look
forward
to
seeing
this
process
through,
though
so.
Thank
you,
council
president.

You

telephone
each
person
on
the
list
during

council
session
and
invite
them
to
our
remote
meeting.
A
A
A
D
Yes,
good
morning,
this
is
janine
lesitzke,
I'm
the
executive
director
and
president
for
women
against
abuse,
and
I'm
honored
to
be
with
you
you
here
today,
even
if
it's
just
over
the
phone
on
behalf
of
women
against
abuse
and
our
sister
agencies
and
the
survivors
of
domestic
violence
we
serve.
I
want
to
thank
councilman
greene
as
well
as
council
members,
gilmore,
richardson,
squilla
jones
o'neil,
dome,
parker,
thomas
and
bass
and
all
of
city
council
for
recognizing
october,
as
domestic
violence
awareness
month
in
philadelphia
when
philadelphians
got
the
call
to
stay
at
home.
D
This
march,
most
of
us
were
fortunate
enough
to
receive
that
message
in
the
way
that
it
was
intended
as
a
necessary
measure
for
health
and
safety,
but
for
victims
of
domestic
violence.
A
stay-at-home
order
meant
something
different.
It
meant
being
trapped
in
a
home
with
their
abusive
partner,
isolated
from
friends
and
relatives
and
other
support
networks.
D
It
meant
fear
and
it
meant
danger,
while
services
for
people
experiencing
domestic
violence
have
remained
open
throughout
the
pandemic,
fewer
victims
are
reaching
out
for
help.
Agencies
like
ours,
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
reach
victims
who
are
trapped
in
their
homes,
but
we
fear
that
many
in
our
community
are
experiencing
increased
violence
with
little
hope
for
reprieve.
D
D
In
2020,
the
same
old
strategies
will
fall
short,
but
in
this
city
of
brotherly
love
there
are
a
number
of
new
opportunities
to
reach
members
who
may
be
suffering
thanks
to
you
in
part,
a
food
distribution
site
may
be
the
only
time
a
survivor
is
able
to
leave
their
home
this
week.
Does
your
team
have
resources
there?
A
virtual
learning
access
center
might
be
the
only
chance.
A
philly
student
witnessing
violence
in
their
home
has
to
talk
to
an
adult.
Are
you
ready
for
that
conversation?
D
D
You
won't
always
see
them
because
for
many
of
them
it's
not
safe
to
be
seen,
but
they're
counting
on
you
again.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
proclaiming
october
as
domestic
violence
awareness
month
in
philadelphia,
and
I
urge
you
to
make
it
count
this
year
more
than
ever
be
well
and
be
safe,
and
thank
you
very
much.
A
A
B
A
resolution
encouraging
the
first
judicial
district
to
institute
administrative
rules
that
allow
the
court
to
seal
evictions
and
corresponding
civil
matters
between
a
landlord
and
a
tenant
in
the
interest
of
justice
and
without
consent
from
the
opposing
party,
as
well
as
invest
in
alternative
processes
of
resolving
landlord-tenant
disputes.
Further
calling
on
the
pennsylvania
state
legislature
to
amend
the
landlord
attendant
law
of
1951
allow
for
the
ceiling
of
evictions.

A
Broke
another
record
that
completes
our
calendar
for
today
prior
to
recognizing
members
regarding
speeches,
I
will
note
for
the
record
at
this
time
that
we
will
use
the
chat
feature
available
in
microsoft's
team
to
allow
members
to
signify
that
they
wish
to
be
recognized
in
order
to
comply
with
the
sunshine
act.
The
chat
feature
must
only
be
used
for
this
purpose.
I
Thank
you,
council
president,
today
as
someone
who's
very
active
in
the
autism
community
and
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
the
disability
community
trying
to
advocate
for
those
that
have
physical
learning
differences.
I
learned
something
new
today.
I
learned
that
today
is
a
global
peer
support
celebration
day,
and
this
is
very
interesting.
The
fact
that
I
learned
about
this
day
through
mental
health
partnerships,
they
are
an
organization
that
have
partnered
with
the
philadelphia
autism
project
to
create
the
community
autism
peer
specialist
program.
I
That
earl
harvey
was
not
there
to
celebrate
and
promote
that
work
in
our
community
every
friday.
At
4
pm
he
hosted
a
call
to
really
help
black
contractors
and
to
help
those
who
are
doing
what
they
could
to
grow
their
businesses
in
our
city.
So
2020
has
been
a
year
like
no
other
and
we
lost
a
another
outstanding
individual.
I
He
graduated
from
central
high
school
class
231,
but
he
is
someone
that
will
be
deeply
missed.
I
will
miss
his
his
jovial
and
his
energy
and
his
enthusiasm
anytime.
You
saw
him
or
talked
to
him
either
on
the
phone
or
in
person
even
on
a
zoom
call.
He
was
always
in
great
spirits,
always
promoting
and
really
the
kind
of
the
pied
piper
of
black
business
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
I
C
They
are
listening
to
stakeholders
on
the
ground
in
neighborhoods
across
the
city
of
philadelphia
to
hear
directly
from
them
what
they
think
their
government
should
be
doing
to
support
neighborhoods
in
response
to
all
that
we
have
endured,
particularly
over
of
the
last
year
with.
That
being
said,
I
need
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
the
stakeholders
in
the
ninth
district
who
participated
last
night.
C
I
know
we
went
a
little
over
time,
but
it
was
important
that
we
heard
from
each
and
every
one
of
you
so
too

anthony

pearl
nguyen,
shannon
skidworth
that
dynamic
young
ashley
reinhart,
I'm
coming
to
get
you
young,
lady
and
terry
fedley.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
I
I
couldn't
go
into
detail
during
our
zoom
meeting
last
night,
but
I
told
you
some
help
was
on
the
way.
C
It
might,
even
you
know,
be
a
little
contentious
but
developing
real
solutions
to
problems
that
you
residents
of
the
city
of
philadelphia,
raise
and
not
people
who
live
in
the
suburbs,
but
have
a
loud
voice
and
simply
add
noise
to
philadelphia's
problems,
but
for
you,
the
folks
who
are
on
the
ground,
doing
the
work,
the
legislation
that
was
introduced
in
council
today.
This
is
what
I
was
referencing.
When
I
was
talking
to
you
about,
we
hear
you
loud
and
clear.
You
want
to
see
government
directly,
impacting
your
life,
your
neighborhood
and
your
community.
C
So
I'm
going
to
be
asking
you
all
to
make
sure
you
let
your
voices
be
heard
so
that
those
people
who
don't
live
in
our
city,
who
voices
sometimes
appear
to
be
dominating
discussion
about
what
local
government
should
be
doing
this
city
council
of
philadelphia,
this
mayor,
jim
kinney
and
his
administration,
we're
going
to
hear
from
you.
So
thank
you
so
very
much
council,
member
catherine,
gilmore,
richardson
and
council
member
isaiah
thomas.
My
people
were
on
point
and
they're
re
ready,
clearly
ready
to
rumble
for
the
services
that
they
believe
in.
Thank
you,
mr
president,.
F
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you
to
my
council
member
councilmember
parker,
who
represents
the
9th
district
where
I
reside.
I
was
also
going
to
talk
about
last
night's
disadvantaged
communities
task
force.
Call
we
had
a
great
conversation,
I'm
not
gonna,
repeat
anything
that
was
already
said.
I
also
want
to
thank
my
colleague
and
co-chair
council
member
catherine
gilmore
richardson.
F
I
also
want
to
just
take
a
moment
to
recognize
central
softball
team.
For
being
our
champion
of
the
week.
I'm
gonna
try
to
stay
consistent
with
that.
This
positivity
is
really
important.
We
want
young
people
and
those
who
mentor
our
young
people
to
recognize.
We
appreciate
you
and
the
work
is
needed
just
for
a
minute
to
go
back
to
the
disadvantaged
communities
task
force
today.
F
We're
going
to
be
launching
the
resource
hubs
and
the
resource
hubs
are
a
direct
initiative
under
the
disadvantaged
communities
task
force,
because
there's
been
this
consistent
narrative
of
our
teenagers,
not
having
anything
to
do.
I
know
that
when
there's
something
negative
going
on
just
in
my
short
time
in
the
body,
it's
easy
for
us
to
spread
that
information.
Here
we
have
something
positive.
Where
we're
trying
to
look
to
address
the
issue
of
gun
violence.
F
We
have
everything
for
young
people,
for
mentoring,
services,
to
academic
support,
the
physical
activity
to
even
them
being
able
to
find
a
job,
and
unfortunately,
we
we're
not
seeing
attraction
that
we
we
hope
we
thought
we
would
see
as
it
relates
to
providing
opportunity
and
resources
to
young
people.
So
we
have
been
doing
a
good
job
of
getting
the
support
of
the
people
who
have
been
a
part
of
the
disadvantaged
community
task
force
cost.
F
But
it
would
be
great
if
we
had
more
support
from
people
who
tell
us
these
issues,
and
these
issues
that
exist
help
us
be
a
part
of
the
solutions
as
well
too,
and
while
we
know
the
resource
courses,
resource
hubs
won't
solve
the
gun,
violence
issue.
This
is
just
one
of
many
steps
that
we
need
to
take
to
move
in
the
direction
of
ratifying
er
rectifying
what
we
see
as
a
huge
problem.
F
I
also
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
passing
the
eviction
resolution
into
law
today.
I
do
want
to
just
challenge
our
first
judicial
district
in
our
first
judicial
courts,
as
well
as
our
state
legislators
who
I've
already
been
working
with
to
try
to
address
this
issue
of
evictions
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
F
This
was
a
problem
before
the
pandemic
and
it's
yet
another
issue
that
has
gotten
worse.
Last
but
not
least,
I
would
like
to
thank
my
colleagues,
council
members,
johnson
and
kim
for
the
great
work
as
it
relates
to
the
black
workers
bill
us
as
a
council
body.
We
will
continue
to
do
everything
in
our
power
to
let
folks
know
that
we're
here
to
fight
for
them.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank
you,
colleagues
and
again
happy
thursday.
Everybody
looking
forward
to
seeing
you
later
today
at
the
resource
hubs.
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Two
members,
thomas
and
gilmore
richardson,
when
you're
ready
to
listen,
then
you're
ready
to
leave
part
of
this
job
is
just
people
don't
need
you
always
to
know
every
answer
to
every
question,
but
when
you
listen
and
they
know
they
are
heard,
then
they
know
they
are
well
represented
and
so
kudos
to
you
for
having
that
patience
to
to
listen
to
the
public
who
who
we're
here
to
serve,
I
just
want
to
quickly
say
that
on
saturday
we
are
doing
a
event
called
be
woke
vote.
G
G
We
will
have
local
artists,
we
will
have
prizes,
we
will
have
surprise
guests
all
at
the
shopping
center,
just
to
encourage
us
and
remind
us
that
we
have
18
days
left
until
the
most
important
election
in
our
lifetime,
no
matter
who
you're
voting
for
this
is
nonpartisan,
but
I
guarantee
you.
It
is
the
most
important
election.
When
you
hear
some
of
the
narratives
and
rhetoric
that
are
going
all
around
this
election,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
participate.
G
If
you
are
for
something,
if
you
are
advocating
something,
if
something
matters
to
you
vote
about
it,
it's
enough
said
said
and
done
we
got
18
days.
Let's
do
it.
I
want
you
to
also
know
that
when
people
start
talking
about
whether
or
not
they
are
going
to
leave
as
a
result
of
the
outcome
of
an
election,
you
better
listen
to
them
and
we
need.
We
need
to
be
vigilant
in
making
sure
and
supporting
the
elector
elector
electoring
election
process
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
G
G
G
So
I
hope
you
can
join
us
between
12
and
4
tomorrow
at
the
shopping
center
53rd
street,
as
always
a
party
and
on
a
final
note,
earl
harvey
was
cooler
than
the
other
side
of
the
pillar
when
he
showed
up
at
the
party.
He
knew
it
was
a
part.
He
was
a
man
about
town,
social
debonair,
reporter
had
a
whole
bunch
of
titles
and
all
of
them
had
the
prefect
so
cool.
E
Hey,
thank
you
councilman
president.
Just
in
wrapping
up,
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
I
there
thomas
to
going
around
these
resource
hubs.
As
we
addressed
this
issue
of
gun
violence
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
I
learned
as
a
young
man
from
my
grandmother
time.
I
was
workshop,
and
so
I
commanded
them
for
creating
an
outlet
for
our
young
people
to
get
involved
in
something,
that's
positive
and
hopefully
in
the
future.
It
could
be
a
program
that
could
be
taken
on
the
scale.
E
E
I
know
we
need
to
think
outside
the
box
as
we
tackle
this
issue
and
that
resource
hubbard
he
did
on
his
own
in
terms
of
creating
public
private
partnerships,
something
I
believe
should
be
duplicated
all
across
the
city
of
philadelphia
will
support,
like
the
chamber
of
commerce,
with
support
from
our
local
colleges,
with
support
for
my
local
health.
Two
questions.
So
I
want
to
personally
endorse
this
project,
I'm
going
to
work
with
his
team
to
get
one
in
south
philadelphia,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
should
be
taking
the
scale.
E
Hopefully
it
should
be
in
everybody's
district,
especially
if
you're
dealing
with
issues
of
crime
and
violence.
So
young
man,
you
keep
up
the
good
work,
it
is
refreshing
and
it's
inspiring,
because
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
possible
to
keep
our
young
people
involved
in
things
that
are
positive
and
when
they're
not,
we
can't
let
covert
19,
be
an
excuse.
They're
not
involved
in
something
that's
positive.
They
would
do
like.
E
I
did
when
I
was
a
young
man,
I'm
gonna
get
involved
and
whatever
I
can
get
involved
to
enjoy
myself
to
be
good
or
bad,
and
so
that's
indicative
of
the
environment
they're
in
so
young
man.
You
keep
up
the
good
work,
isaiah
thomas
and
I
fully
endorse
your
resource
hubs
and
hopefully
it
can
go
to
scale
across
the
city
of
philadelphia.
Thank
you
very
much,
council
president.
For
the
time.
