My

am
calling
in

express
my
support
for
bill
number

which
will
name
a
dog
park
on
the
north
side
of

As
the

Rob
stewart
was
my
late
husband
and
I
want
to
thank
city
council
president
and
help
councilwoman
member
helen
kim
for
sponsoring
this
ordinance.
O
He
worked
on
many
projects,
all
with
the
aim
of
improving
philadelphia
and
ensuring
its
future
with
high
quality
life
for
everyone
and
among
his
many
accomplishments.
He
worked
tirelessly
to
ensure
that
logan
square
thrived
and
grew
and
also
retained
its
special
character
and
one
of
his
particular
dreams
was
that
logan
square
continued
to
attract
and
retain
new
families,
and
he
wanted
to
very
much
build
a
dog
park
and
a
children's
playground
which
now
because
made
possible
by
council
president
clark
is
actually
about
to
happen.
O
A
O
I
H
H
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
wanted
to
also
just
follow
up
and
commend
you
and
commend
helen
and
all
the
council
for
supporting
this
ordinance,
because
in
honoring
the
life
of
mr
stewart,
because
when
I
first
decided
to
make
the
transition
from
state
representative
to
city
council,
he
was
on
the
front
line
for
like
going
back
for
me.
H
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
get
that
on
the
record,
because
he's
a
truly
dear
and
near
to
my
heart
because
he's
a
part
of
how
I
became
I'm.
A
council
person
representing
not
only
just
the
council
prison,
represent
the
second
councilmanic
district,
but
the
first
african-american
council
person
to
represent
the
second
councilmanic
district,
and
he
played
a
major
role
in
making
sure-
and
I
was
supported
and
also
inside
those
rooms
that
I
haven't
also
had
an
opportunity
to
be
introduced
to
it
and
it
had
not
been
for
him.
H
C
Thank
you
so
much
council
president
and
you
know
originally.
I
was
going
to
wait
until
the
introduction,
but
it
feels
very
fitting
after
sarah's,
beautiful
and
very
loving
testimony
to
her
late
husband
to
hear
all
of
our
colleagues
say
so
much
about
what
rob
meant
to
the
entire
city
of
philadelphia.
C
He
was
a
philadelphian
through
and
through.
As
sarah
said,
he
loved
this
city.
He
had
a
bigger
vision
of
it.
He
invested
in
its
infrastructure
and
he
invested
in
its
people,
and
I
do
want
to
extend
my
enormous
gratitude
to
you,
council
president,
for
doing
this
tribute
to
a
wonderful
person
and
his
legacy
lives
on
in
sarah
and
his
and
his
daughters.
So
just
very
grateful
for
this
moment
and
in
remembrance
and
holding
precious
people.
Who've
come
before
us,
who've
done
so
much.
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president.
C
Well,
thank
you,
mr
president.
I
want
to
join
the
chorus
of
my
colleagues
and
just
saying
what
a
great
guy
rob
was,
and
you
know
whenever
I
think
of
rob
stewart.
I
always
smile
and
I
smile
because
he
was
someone
who
brought
something
to
the
table
and
it
was
about
helping
people
and
it
was
positive.
There
was
never
any
foolishness,
it
was
never
anything
that
wasn't
going
to
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
the
people
of
philadelphia,
especially
those
who
need
it
the
most.
C
A
P
Thanks,
council
president,
this
is
drew
murray,
I'm
a
board
member
of
the
lucasfire
neighborhood
association
and
former
president,
I'm
here
to
support
the
resolution
in
naming
the
winner
street
dog
park.
In
memory
of
my,
my
friend
rob
stewart
bill
resolution
number
two
one:
zero.
Three,
six
zero
rob
was
a
friend
and
a
mentor
to
me.
He
was
also
a
former
president
of
the
logan
square,
neighborhood
association.
P
He
did
so
much
for
our
community.
I
think
it
might
have
even
been
you
council
president,
who
called
him
the
18th
member
of
city
council,
because
everyone
knew
him
and
everyone
in
the
community
knew
him.
Council
president.
I
know
you've
heard
me
say
this
story
and
I
know
sarah's
heard
the
story,
but
I
call
I
used
to
call
rob
and
I
still
call
rob
the
george
bailly
of
our
community.
He
really
touched
people
in
so
many
ways
that
seemed
small
at
the
moment,
but
had
long
lasting
effects
on
their
lives.
P
P
You
know,
can
you
help
me,
and
you
know
I
know
it
was
one
of
sarah's
dreams
and
then
one
of
my
dreams
to
see
that
this
comes
forward.
So
I
want
to
thank
you,
council,
president
number
one
for
helping
provide
the
funds
for
this,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
and
my
friend
councilwoman
kim,
for
for
making
this
resolution
to
to
name
this
park
and
memory
of
rob
it'll
be
an
incredible
honor
to
his
legacy.
Thank
you.
P
A
Q
Good
morning
to
all
I'm,
my
name
is
fukri
abdullahi,
I'm
calling
in
to
support
the
resolution.
Two
one
zero,
four
six
zero
and
I
wanna
thank
specifically
councilman,
oh
for
introducing
a
resolution
and
for
the
rest
of
the
council
for
hearing
I've
been
a
resident
of
philadelphia.
Since
I
was
seven,
I
moved
to
northeast
philly
when
I
was
seven
with
my
family.
I've
lived
here
pretty
much
all
my
life.
Q
I
graduated
from
the
university
of
pennsylvania
in
2019
and
I
consider
philadelphia
to
be
my
home
and
I
intend
to
call
it
my
home
for
the
rest
of
my
life.
Today's
subject
is
important
to
me
and
close
to
me.
Much
like
it
is
to
the
growing
number
of
azerbaijanis
that
live
here.
We've
always
known
the
city
of
philly
as
a
city
of
brotherly
love.
We
chose
to
live
here
because
we
believe
that
the
community
here
is
vibrant,
caring
and
defined
by
the
many
communities
of
different
ethnic
and
national
backgrounds.
Q
I
remember
walking
through
benjamin
franklin,
parkway
throughout
my
entire
childhood
and
young
adult
years
and
always
being
inspired
and
proud
of
the
different
nationalities
living
here.
Philly
really
embraces
its
diverse
composition
of
people
and
wants
them
to
succeed
and
seeing
all
of
those
flags
here
signify
that
to
me.
Q
It's
also
disappointing
to
me
to
not
to
see
my
own
country
representing
that
parkway
as
a
community
of
azerbaijanis
in
philly.
We
want
to
be
able
to
be
represented
as
a
part
of
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
how
our
voices
heard,
though
we
are
a
small
population
currently
in
philadelphia,
we
are
constantly
growing
and
we
do
contribute
a
lot
to
the
development
of
our
city.
Q
Many
of
us
work
our
own
businesses
directly
within
the
city
and
we're
constantly
hosting
many
cultural
events
with
hundreds
of
azurees
and
other
nationalities
attending
and
working
with
other
minority
groups
to
make
the
city
place
a
better
place
for
all.
We
are
proud,
philadelphians
and
azerbaijanis,
and
we
are
continuing
to
grow.
We
want
to
see
ourselves
representative
and
that's
why
we
hope
to
see
our
flag
flying
across
benjamin
franklin
parkway,
and
we
hope
to
do
this
with
your
help
and
we
truly
appreciate
the
effort
and
helping
us
put
this
forward.
Q
N
Today,
good
morning
my
name
is
leila.
Silly
horgan,
I'm
here
today
in
support
of
resolution,
21
0460
calling
on
the
city
of
philadelphia
to
include
the
flag
of
the
republic
of
azerbaijan
in
the
display
of
international
flags
along
benjamin's
conference
pathway
and
again
thank
you
to
council
members.
Oh
bath
book,
dome,
green
and
scale
up
for
including
our
ethnic
minority
group
into
philadelphia's
cultural
multi-ethnic
environment.
Here
much
like
fragrance
sort
of
already
introduced.
N
N
But
I
do
remember
that
time
I
walked
down.
Our
beautiful
bank.
Franklin
parkway
saw
those
wave
flags
waving
in
the
wind.
I
searched
for
a
flag
of
my
country.
I
didn't
see
it,
but
I
thought
wow.
Perhaps
they
never
heard
of
azerbaijan
at
the
time
it
was
just
a
newly
independent
state
breaking
from
soviet
union,
but
I
hope
that
soon
we
can
bring
azerbaijani
flags
to
the
city.
It
did
take
years
of
understanding
how
our
how
our
city
works
to
build
up
our
community.
N
Here
we
tried
for
many
years,
unfortunately
not
successfully,
but
I
think
today
is
different.
The
moratorium
has
been
lifted.
Philadelphia
is
such
a
multi-ethnic
and
multicultural
city.
Today,
most
importantly,
25
years
later,
we
have
a
very
strong
and
thriving
azerbaijani
community
in
philadelphia.
N
N
Philadelphia
is
the
birthplace
of
that
democracy
and
we
as
immigrants
to
this
country
to
this
city,
want
to
be
represented,
along
with
many
other
nations
around
the
world
by
sharing
the
culture
of
azerbaijan,
our
birthplace,
with
our
new
home
philadelphia.
I
ask
you
to
please
help
us
do
that
today.
Please
vote
to
include
the
flag
of
azerbaijan
in
philadelphia's,
beautiful
display
of
international
flags.
R
R
My
family
came
here
in
1999,
I
have
two
brothers,
they
are
younger
than
me
and
my
parents
who
are
older-
and
we
came
here
from
moscow,
but
we
we
came
from
azerbaijan
and
I
was
born
in
baku.
Originally
I
lived
there
until
I
was
eight
when
we
came
here
from
moscow
right
philadelphia
became
home
for
us
right.
We
went,
we
have
house
here
now:
two
houses,
the
whole
family.
We
all
went
to
schools
here
I
went
to
drexel.
R
So
we
made
our
home
here
and
you
know
when
I
used
to
work.
I
used
to
live
on
spring
garden
next
to
the
art
museum
couple
blocks
away,
and
I
worked
in
center
city
across
city
hall.
I
would
walk
by
the
parkway
every
day
and
it
would
actually
bother
me
each
day
when
I
would
pass
and
I'd
not
see
the
other
flag
there,
but
I
knew
time
will
come
and
you
know
that
time
is
now
and
we're
here
to
ask
you
to
approve
raising
a
flag
of
this
country.
R
R
The
women
had
right
to
vote
and
run
for
the
authors
right
and
just
to
as
a
comparison
that
was
a
year
before
it
was
available
here
in
united
states
for
nationally
for
women's
award.
So
imagine
a
nation
of
benjamin
franklin
in
1918
thousand
miles
from
from
away
from
here
and
that's
who
who
we
represent.
You
know
that's
what
we
want
to
establish
here
and
and
work
here
towards
the
democracy
and
our
common
values,
and
I
appreciate
your
listening
guys
about
this
issue.
It's
very
important
for
us.
B
S
I
am
president
of
azerbaijan,
society
of
america,
the
oldest
pan
azerbaijani
grassroots
organization
in
the
united
states,
representing
azerbaijani
americans,
founded
in
1957
by
the
first
wave
of
immigrants
to
united
states.
It
is
the
first
organization
in
the
world
to
represent
azerbaijanis
outside
of
their
homeland.
Our
community
has
grown
significantly
over
the
years,
especially
here
in
philadelphia.
S
We
work
with
wide
range
of
organizations
and
communities
across
the
country
to
engage
azerbaijanis
around
the
nation.
We
work
closely
with
turkish
israeli
pakistani
and
many
other
communities
in
the
nation.
First
republic
of
azerbaijan
was
established
in
1918,
secular
muslim
democracy
very
first
in
the.
N
S
Unfortunately,
within
two
years
it
fell
under
soviet
rule
when
the
soviet
union
finally
collapsed.
In
1991
azerbaijan
was
the
first
nation
to
regain
their
independence
while
being
under
the
soviet
rule.
Over
70
years
azerbaijani
flag
was
banned
in
the
soviet
azerbaijan,
but
in
america
we
were
raising
the
flag
of
azerbaijan
because
america
gave
us
the
freedom
to
do
so.
We.
N
S
Proud
americans
and
always
will
be
grateful.
Azerbaijan
is
a
staunch
ally
of
the
united
states.
Azerbaijan
unconditionally
supported
america's
anti-terrorist
campaign
immediately
in
the
wake
of
the
september
11th
tragedy
to
ensure
the
safety
of
all
americans
in
and
u.s
installations
in
azerbaijan
azerbaijani
soldiers
fought
next
to
american
soldiers
in
kosovo,
afghanistan
and
iraq.
Azerbaijan
opened
its
doors
to
american
businesses,
and
today
many
americans
call
azerbaijan
their
home
seeing
the
azerbaijani
flag
among
the
among
the
other
banners
of
iconic.
Benjamin
franklin
parkway
will
be
a
reminder
to
all
of
us.
S
T
Good
morning,
yes,
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name
is
charisse
lee
and
I'm
calling
on
the
city
of
philadelphia
to
implement
minimum
force.
Training
for
all
law
enforcement
officers,
whereas
minimal
force
stream
provides
law
enforcement
officers
with
the
physical
skills
and
mental
perspective
to
use
no
force
or
the
least
amount
of
force
required
when
faced
with
the
confrontation
under
stress
and
whereas
minimum
force.
Training
is
a
viable
tool
for
law
enforcement,
officers
and
civilians
alike.
T
And
whereas
police
use
of
force
and
training
protocols
are
particularly
salient
following
high
profile
incidents
of
overly
aggressive
officer-involved
confrontations
and
unattended
shootings.
And
whereas,
as
a
result
of
george
soroy's
death,
there
is
a
national
push
to
reform
laws
and
protocols
pertaining
to
the
police,
conduct
and
liability.
T
And
whereas
some
of
these
efforts
are
questionable
and
may
result
in
unattended,
consequences
that
increase
crime
and
injury
and
whereas
minimal
force
training
can
reduce
the
number.
The
tragedies
by
balancing
lethal
force
responses
with
more
appropriate
responses
based
upon
the
circumstance
and
whereas
law
enforcement
officials
in
neighboring
bucks
and
delaware
counties
have
already
begun.
T
T
I
should
recently
wholeheartedly
support
this
resolution
number
210434,
because
in
order
to
maintain
any
professional
skill,
you
must
adhere
to
the
mandatory
required
recertification
procedures.
Just
as
the
fast
food
employee
must
be
recertify,
their
safe
service
license
every
few
years
as
well
as
the
attorney
must
recertify
his
license
six
months
prior
to
the
expiration
date.
This
resolution,
which
has
been
put
in
place,
not
only
protects
us,
but
our
children
by
teaching
them
how
to
be
responsible
adults
because
they
are
our
future
leaders.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
everyone
have
a
wonderful
day.
M
April
mcbride
good
morning,
councilmember
president
and
council
members,
I'm
in
favor
of
resolution
210434
implementing
minimal
force
training
for
all
law
enforcement
agencies.
This
resolution
that
has
been
presented
today
by
council
member,
oh,
is
extremely
needed
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
especially
in
the
impoverished
urban
neighborhoods,
where
police
brutality
and
police
fatality,
where
are
there,
are
much
higher
occurrences
example.
M
Minority
men,
women,
men,
women,
boys
and
girls
are
already
looked
upon
as
immediate
threats
are,
which
is
unfair
and
unjust.
With
that
being
said
to
minimize
police
brutality
and
fatality,
this
resolution
is
very
crucial
to
the
lives
of
all
citizens
of
philadelphia
of
all
races,
especially
for
the
minority
communities.
M
Once
a
person
is
deceased,
they
cannot
come
back
to
life
and
to
die
by
lethal
force
by
police,
where
the
situation
could
have
been
resolved
by
minimal
force
is
not
accessible
and
the
damage
cannot
be
undone.
I
actually
today
support
and
pass
into
the
bill
of
law
here
in
philadelphia
resolution
number
210434.
Thank
you.
L
B
L
And
I
can
go
into
the
ups
and
downs
throughout
the
years
of
the
acts
of
law
enforcement,
but
let's
I
want
to
present
it
to
you
guys
as
what
they
really
are.
They're
people.
You
know
they're
everyday
people
that
have
anxiety
just
like
us,
get
angry.
Just
like
us,
get
happy
just
like
us
and
also
go
through
trials
and
tribulations.
Just
like
us.
You
know
their
everyday
people
and
on
top
of
that,
they
just
they
decide
one
day
to
serve
and
protect
our
community.
L
You
know
they're
everyday
people
that
are
expected
to
rise
above
and
make
critical
hard
decisions
in
hostile
situations
without
the
proper
training.
You
know
it
is
important
and
I
fully
support
resolution
210
434
that
was
presented
by
david
o
council
member,
that
it's
very
important.
It's
very
important
that
our
these
people
that
choose
to
serve
and
protect
our
community
are
presented
with
an
opportunity
to
have
a
choice
to
be
able
to
implement
minimum
force
training.
You
know
they
it.
L
L
L
It
just
would
help
in
every
way
possible
every
way
possible
help
improve
their
lives,
making
sure
they're
going
home,
making
the
right
decisions
and
help
the
community
around
them.
It
is
very
important,
very,
very
important
that
they
are
committed
to
bettering
themselves,
not
just
physically
but
mentally.
You
know
it
goes
that
far.
It
goes
that
far
into
their
training,
and
also
here,
there's
opposition
to
it
too,
as
well
as
there
is
already
some
minimum
force
training,
and
if
that's
the
case,
would
we
be
where
we
are
today?
L
If
there
was
you
know,
and
if
there,
if
there
is
some
type
of
training,
is
it
good
enough?
Would
we
be
having
this
conversation
today
and
that's
something
we
need
to
ask
ourselves
like
what
is
missing
and
what
do
we
need
to
implement,
and
this
is
one
of
them.
I
fully
support
it.
Thank
you
for
hearing
me
out.

I
will
note
for
the

at

With

I
I
It
is
called
the
geography
of
nowhere
and
what
the
book
basically
is
about
is
in
construction
in
modern
haste
to
develop,
and
sometimes
over
developed
neighborhoods
are
disappearing
in
the
sense
of
their
uniqueness,
their
history,
their
confirmation
to
region,
architecture
and
so
on,
and
the
book
goes
on
to
say,
mr
president,
that
in
some
parts
of
the
united
states
now,
if
they
blindfolded,
you
dropped
you
into
a
main
street
or
a
town
spun
you
around
three
times.
You
would
not
be
able
to
identify
where
you
were.
I
There
are
historic
sites
in
philadelphia
such
as
city
hall,
such
as
the
liberty
bell
and
the
art
museum
in
neighborhoods
that
have
unique
character
such
as
south
philly
such
as
germantown
such
as
places
like
ridge
avenue.
In
my
district
that
have
historical
and
architectural
relevance,
we
did
a
tour
on
ridge
avenue
once
and
I
was
with
my
staff,
and
I
pointed
out
a
keystone
that
had
1714
on
it.
I
said
well
that
couldn't
be
the
address.

are

further
north

cohen,
was
kind
enough
to
point
out
to
me.
I
I
I
can
safely
say
that
most
of
the
communities
we
represent
now
regret
that,
because
anybody
can
just
come
up
and
put
anything
in
a
lot
of
our
neighborhoods
and
you-
and
I
share
this,
mr
president-
those
multi-colored
corner
stores
that
sell
all
kinds
of
paraphernalia
that
often
have
illegal
gambling
machines
in
there
because
they
can
put
them
up
by
right.
So
I
salute
you
khalid
johnson,
for
recognizing
the
historic
nature
of
part
of
your
district
and
share
with
you
that
a
couple
of
generations
bet
that
I'm
a
south
philly
guy
from
the
p.
A
President,
thank
you
councilman
very
poignant
point.
It
is
an
issue
and
hopefully
with
the
designation
of
the
new
zoning
code
advisory
commission,
our
committee
special
committee.
We
can
address
that
by
virtue
of
recommended
legislation
and
possibly
charter
changes
in
the
very
nearby
future,
but
it
has
changed
the
character
of
neighborhoods
across
the
city,
not
necessarily
in
a
positive
way.
Thank
you.
Chair
recognizes
councilwoman
parker.
J
Thank
you,
mr
president,
council
member
jones.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
raising
awareness
about
that
important
issue.
You
know
how
I
feel
about
land
use
and
zoning
and
protecting
the
quality
and
character
of
a
neighborhood
and
not
allowing
anyone
who
doesn't
live
in
a
particular
neighborhood
to
shame
or
guilt.
The
people
who've
been
there
for
so
many
generations
for
trying
to
hold
on
to
that
which
they
know
is
home.
So
thank
you
for
raising
awareness
about
that.
J
J
My
appointment
was
for
9
30,
but
I
got
there
a
little
early,
the
process
the
structure
was,
it
was
so
well
organized.
I
didn't
have
to
wait
the
ed
snyder
hockey
foundation,
along
with
some
ray
pharmacy.
They
are
partnering
with
my
office
finley
and
several
others,
and
that's
one
of
our
neighborhood
based
vaccination
sites
and
when
I
was
there,
my
neighbor
had
asked
me
earlier.
J
This
week
our
walk-ins
allowed-
and
I
and
I
told
her
yes,
mr
mr
president,
she
said
I'm
vaccinated
and
I'm
going
to
bring
my
daughter
now
she
has
two,
but
so
I'm
sitting
in
the
back
after
you
get
the
shot.
You
know
you
have
to
sit
in
the
area
for
15
minutes
and
wait
and
when
she
came
in
she
only
had
one
daughter
and
it
wasn't
her
elder
daughter.
It
was
her
younger
daughter
who,
I
believe
is
about
14.
J
and
if
I
waved
my
hand,
I
said
where
is
my
girl
talking
about
her
other
daughter,
her
old,
her
elder
daughter
decided
that
she
did
not
want
to
be
vaccinated.
I
wanted
to
use
this
opportunity
of
mr
president
to
strongly
encourage
philadelphians
to
continue
on
that
trek.
I
mean
I
know
you're
hearing
about
when
philadelphia
will
be
open.
J
J
Mr
president,
I
know
I,
along
with
all
of
us
here
in
council,
are
going
to
continue,
encouraging
our
constituents
to
get
vaccinated
and,
mr
president
and
all
of
our
colleagues
I
I
always
feel
good
when
I'm
at
our
neighborhood
based
sites,
because,
mr
president,
the
people
when
I
walk
when
I
walked
in
the
people
were
saying
thanks
so
much
that
we
don't
have
to
go
downtown.
They
were
happy
to
like
have
a
spot
in
the
neighborhood.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that.
J
I
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
council
member
isaiah
thomas
for
honoring
destiny,
and
you
know
her
her
game-changing
trend-setting
and
trailblazing
acceptance
to
over
52
colleges.
Now
destiny
chose
spelman
and
I'm
excited
for
her,
but
I
and
when
she
said
spelman
I
immediately
got
on
and
began
texting
philadelphia's
spelman
graduates,
one
of
them
who's
really
active
and
that's
laurie
jones.
J
We
wish
you
well
and,
mr
president,
I'm
glad
destiny
said
that
she
is
setting
her
eyes
on
the
big
stage.
You
know
for
president
right
and
and
not
counsel
right
now,
because
let
me
tell
you
something:
she's
gonna
be
ready
and
prepared
when
she
graduates
from
spelman
so
destiny.
We
wish
you
the
best
and
because
we
have
kamala
harris
who
is
there
and
who
made
history
in
her
election
destiny.
You
now
know
you
can
be
what
you
can
see.
J
You
know
it's
possible
because
you
see
what
kamala
harris
has
been
able
to
achieve,
and
so
I'm
just
really
moved
by
her
her
story,
her
humble
beginnings
and
her
her
willingness
to
overcome
with
the
greatest
resilience.
We
can
see
in
a
person
to
achieve
what
many
people
may
not
have
thought
was
her
destiny
because
of
her
circumstances,
but
she
arrived
so
congratulations,
destiny
and
thank
you,
mr
president,.
F
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
was
not
going
to
speak
this
af
this
morning,
just
like
councilman
parker,
but
when
she
mentioned
spelman
college
I'll
be
remiss
and
not
acknowledging
that
my
sister,
dr
valley,
green
amos,
is
also
a
proud
graduate
spelman
college.
It's
a
phenomenal
institution
in
georgia
and
as
a
number
of
great
phenomenal
spelman
women
that
our
majority
leader
acknowledge,
and
they
also
provide
you
know
scholarships
and
other
fundraising.
F
Now,
I'm
not
sure
if
councilmember
jones
will
be
getting
on
the
wheels
of
steel
with
dj
gario
and
dj
active,
but
I
know
he's
got
a
lot
of
great
skills
in
that
regard.
So,
once
again,
following
the
great
comments
that
our
majority
has
stated,
we
need
to
get
everyone
to
get
vaccinated
and
that
the
philly
dax
john
2
will
be
at
the
dell
music
center.
This
saturday
may
22nd
from
11
a.m,
to
6
p.m
and,
of
course,
they're
working
with
the
black
doctors,
clover,
19
consortium
and
dr
ala
stanford.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilman
for
bringing
that
to
the
attention.
Thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you.
Councilwoman
parker
october
19
is
not
over.
We
got
a
briefing
yesterday.
I
think
we're
probably
at
50
yesterday
we're
49
of
eligible
individuals
in
the
city
vaccinated.
That
means
that
half
the
people
in
the
city
that
are
eligible
are
not
vaccinated,
so
we
still
must
be
vigilant.
We
still
have
to
make
sure
that
we
follow
the
updated
guidelines,
but
we're
asking
people
wherever
possible.
A
E
Oh
thank
you,
president,
and
I
just
want
to
speak
today
about
something
I
feel
very
strongly
about,
and
that
is,
I
believe,
we're
at
a
turning
point
for
the
city
of
philadelphia.
This
is
a
moment
in
time
where
we
can
make
a
dramatic
difference
for
all
philadelphians,
but
especially
those
in
poverty
and
in
need
of
a
good
paying
job.
We
can
return
to
what
we
were
doing
before.
I
think
we
will
get
there,
but
that's
not
my
goal.
My
goal
is
to
do
way
better
than
we
were
doing
before.
E
We
know
we're
one
of
the
poorest
cities
in
the
country,
and
we
know
that
since
2009,
sadly,
we
produced
twice
the
u.s
average
of
jobs
that
paid
below
35
000
a
year,
and
we
also
know
like
we
had
the
second
biggest
financial
loss
of
any
city.
Only
detroit
was
worse
than
us,
and
we
also
know
that
of
the
top
cities
in
the
east
coast
for
the
on
the
formation
of
black
and
brown
businesses
we're
the
lowest
by
far
we're
also
the
lowest
for
white
businesses.
E
This
hurts
us
in
growing
jobs.
This
is
why,
when
you
look
at
the
suburbs
of
philadelphia,
their
employment
is
far
exceeds
the
city
of
philadelphia,
while
all
other
cities
on
the
east
coast,
the
majority
of
the
city's
employment,
exceeds
the
suburbs.
So
my
comments
today
are
really,
if
we're
serious
about
tackling
poverty
and
creating
good
paying
jobs.
E
E
H
Hey.
Thank
you.
Council
president.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilman
curtis
jones,
for
acknowledging
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
regarding
reimagining
development.
That's
taking
place
throughout
the
second
councilmanic
district
and,
as
a
result,
we're
looking
at
the
blocks
of
christian
street
in
south
philadelphia,
it's
known
now
as
graduate
hospital
area.
H
So,
thank
you,
councilman
jones,
for
just
acknowledging
the
work
that
we're
doing.
Also
thank
you
for
setting
the
tone,
because
I've
paid
attention
to
the
work
that
you
have
done
regarding
the
preservation
of
landmarks
and
your
particular
district,
and
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
the
acknowledgement
of
the
work
that
we're
doing.
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president.
