that

I
intend
to
hold
faithfully
to
the
established
time
limit
once
invited
to
the
meeting
and
asked
to
begin
your
testimony.
A
timer
will
be
started.
A
Please
be
aware
that
the
public
this

a
public
meeting
and

reasonable
expectation
of
privacy.
So,
by

Mr
decker,
can
you
please
read
the
name
of
our
first
speaker
on
our
list.
M
Thank
you
so
much
for
hearing
my
comment
and
to
council
member
parker
for
putting
forward
this
resolution,
I'm
a
resident
of
philadelphia
and
also
a
supervising
attorney
at
philadelphia,
vip,
a
legal
aid
organization
that
matches
low-income
philadelphians
with
pro
bono
attorneys
for
civil
legal
issues
at
vip.
We
fully
support
this
resolution
to
spread.
M
About
the
need
for
estate
planning,
we
see
hundreds
of
clients
each
year
with
title
issues
to
their
homes
from
lack
of
proper
estate
planning.
We
also
see
the
need
to
ensure
our
seniors
and
other
incapacitated
folks
are
properly
cared
for
when
they
can
no
longer
care
for
themselves.
Proper
estate
planning
can
resolve
these
issues,
but
there
is
a
lack
of
awareness
about
the
importance
of
these
documents
and
how
to
attain
them.
M
The
process
was
tricky
when
we
were
finally
able
to
get
the
title
issue
resolved
and
into
their
name
that
our
client
quickly
agreed
to
estate
planning
documents,
and
just
last
week
he
told
me
how
comfortable
he
was
after
working
with
vip
and
getting
all
of
his
papers
in
order.
He
said
his
friends
were
also
surprised
at
how
he
was
getting
everything
in
order,
but
he
had
learned
from
experience
how
important
that
is.
M
We
provide
template
documents,
trainings
and
other
resources,
including
notary
services,
for
our
volunteers
and
clients,
and
we've
had
great
success.
Partnering
with
community
partners
such
as
neighborhood
groups
like
the
brewery
town,
charles
wood,
knack,
the
outreach
events
you
all
put
on
and
other
non-profits
like
rebuilding
together
philadelphia
to
host
intake
clinics
and
information
sessions
about
estate
planning.
So
we
love
the
idea
of
spreading
more
information
to
promote
estate
planning
and
believe
national
estate
planning
awareness
week
is
a
great
step
in
that
direction.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration
of
this
resolution.
H
H
I
want
to
thank
council
members,
sanchez
jones,
johnson
bass,
dom
and
green
for
meeting
with
us
and
supporting
our
work.
We
believe
the
process
for
real
estate
development
must
shift
from
top
down
to
one
that
takes
a
more
holistic
view
of
a
neighborhood's
needs.
Npi
can
be
a
great
start
in
this
direction.
Our
comments
are
based
on
research
and
our
members.
Experience
working
in
philadelphia,
we'd
like
to
work
with
you
to
leverage
private
capital
with
npi
to
maximize
the
impact
on
neighborhoods.
H
Mpi
includes
important
priorities
and
we
have
four
recommendations.
As
you
implement
year,
one
first
we'd
like
to
target
the
accelerated
fund
to
provide
credit
enhancement
and
cover
pre-development
costs
for
developers
whose
projects
have
a
quantifiable
social
impact.
We
recommend
broadening
the
criteria
for
qualified
projects,
raising
the
guarantee
limit
and
increasing
the
investment
amount
prioritize
projects
that
provide
quantifiable
impacts
in
the
areas
of
employment,
bypass
business
and
homeownership
livable
income
and
access
to
essential
services.
H
Second
mpis
should
use
comprehensive
master
planning
to
get
the
most
benefit
from
each
investment
partner,
with
residents
and
other
local
voices
to
ensure
that
new
projects
holistically
address
the
specific
needs
of
a
given
area.
Third,
expand
the
role
of
the
land
bank
and
streamline
the
process.
The
bill
references
certain
use,
but
we
believe
it
can
be
applied
in
a
wider
variety
of
situations
to
improve
community
stability
and
expand
access
to
neighborhood
level
wealth
creation.
H
Finally,
mpi
should
apply
research-based
impact
metrics
to
capture
and
address
the
social
determinants
of
health.
We've
identified
and
mapped
metrics
that
show
the
interplay
between
real
estate
and
outcomes,
including
housing,
cost
burdens,
food
deserts,
net
exposure
and
others
we're
happy
to
partner,
as
an
independent
third
party,
to
apply
these
metrics
to
mpi
investments.
We're
delighted
to
work
with
you
and
further
refine
this
roadmap
to
determine
how
best
to
put
it
into
action,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
time.
N
N
The
the
what
is
called
the
driver
equality
bill
thankful
for
all
the
work
that
has
been
done
around
this
bill
around
dealing
with
this
board.
Such
difficult
issue
of
the
reality
of
driving,
while
black
as
being
a
crime
across
the
nation
and
in
philadelphia,
is
a
reality
that
most
of
us
who
are
black,
have
experienced
in
some
way
in
some
manner.
Over
the
years,
many
of
us
have
given
the
talk
to
our
children,
particularly
our
black
males.
N
In
reference
to
this
reality
about
six
years
ago,
I
was
passing
a
church
and
we
had
a
community
forum
around
stop
and
frisk,
and
at
that
community
forum
it
was
very
volatile.
The
conversation
was
very
heated,
particularly
when
one
member
of
that
panel,
a
police
officer
police
chief,
said
that
white
supremacy
had
no
relationship
to
the
police
department.
N
We've
come
a
long
way.
We've
taken
some
steps,
we're
responding
in
the
right
kinds
of
way.
I
gladly
support
this
bill
and
see
it
not
just
as
an
end,
but
as
a
beginning
of
a
real
way
for
our
police
department
and
all
of
our
law
enforcement
to
really
regain
the
trust
of
our
black
community
in
every
way.
Thank
you
so
much.
M
M
M
M
H
Good
morning,
queen
judith
robinson
here
to
testify
on
bill's
numbers,
210,
635
and
210
636a,
I
want
to
focus
on
the
part
of
the
bill
that
talks
about
preventing
racial
disparities.
As
an
african-american
woman,
I
agree
with
that
100
percent,
but
with
over
400
murders
in
this
city,
mostly
black
people,
now
are
women
and
children.
I
really
don't
want
to
hamper
law
enforcement
as
it
relates
to
possibly
reducing
crime.
So
I
want
to
focus
on
why
so
few
criminals
are
being
targeted.
H
Why
so
few
criminals
are
found
when
all
of
these
folks
are
being
targeted
for
stops?
Something
is
out
of
order
where
that
many
people
could
be
stopped,
who
happen
to
be
african-american
and
we're
not
getting
these
criminals
who
are
shooting
up
our
rec
centers
and
killing
all
over
philadelphia.
They
are.
Our
cameras,
show
they're
getting
in
and
out
of
vehicles,
so
I
think
we
need
to
focus
right
there.
Why
are
so
many
people
being
targeted?
Who
are
not
these
folks,
who
are
criminals?
H
Murderers
in
our
communities?
In
addition,
the
bill
talks
about
protect
public
safety.
That's
where
I
want
to
be
protected
protected
by
our
law
enforcement.
So
I
want
law
enforcement
to
focus
on
even
the
smallest
crime,
as
it
relates
to
the
broken
window.
Theory.
I'm
talking
about
the
broken
taillight
theory.
These
criminals
are
running
around
our
community
in
and
out
of
cars
shooting
up
in
broad
daylight.
H
So
as
much
as
I
don't
want
racial
disparity
as
it
relates
to
these
targeted
crimes,
I
want
to
do
further
research
to
find
out
why
they're
doing
all
of
these
targets
of
drivers
vehicles,
but
not
finding
criminals.
That's
where
I
want
to
focus
right
there,
and
I
don't
know
how
this
bill
could
expound
on
that
or
expand
on
that,
but
I
think
we
need
to
focus
right
there.
How
could
that
be?
H
How
could
that
be
that
we're
not
finding
criminals
that
are
running
loose
driving
around
with
illegal
possession
all
over
philadelphia,
wrecking
havoc
on
our
community?
So
as
much
as
I
want
to
make
certain
that
you
know
we're
not
being
disrespected,
I
don't
want
law
enforcement
hampered
in
that
regard,
can
we
please
focus
on
why
they
are
not
getting
these
criminals
off
our
streets
moving
around
in
vehicles?
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
time.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
hope
we
can
identify
that
area.
Thank
you.

A
resolution
designating
the
week
of
sunday
october
10
through
saturday
october
16
2021
as
italian-american
heritage
week
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
honoring
joe
piscopo,
as
the
grand
marshal
of
the
2021
philadelphia
italian-american
parade
this
year.
The
parade
is

dedicated
to
the
life
and
legacy
of
anna
c
verna,
long-time
city
council
member,
a
lifelong
supporter
of
the
american
parade.
A
J
B
An
ordinance
amending
title
12
of
the
philadelphia
code
entitled
traffic
code
to
clarify
the
appropriate
methods
and
circle
circumstances
of
enforcement
of
traffic
violations
in
order
to
provide
for
the
fair
and
transparent
administration
of
traffic
violations,
prevent
racial
disparities
and
protect
public
safety
in
making
certain
technical
changes.
Thank.
K
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
want
to
make
a
few
remarks
before
we
go
ahead
and
vote
on
this
bill.
First
of
all,
just
want
to
talk
about
the
data
and
the
problem
a
little
bit,
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
input
and
testimony
today.
In
a
12-month
period,
looking
at
the
year,
2018
philadelphia
police
found
illegal
drugs
or
guns
in
less
than
one
percent
of
traffic
stops
as
black
drivers
were
34,
less
likely
than
white
drivers
to
be
carrying
anything
illegal,
but
significantly
more
likely
to
be
pulled
over
than
our
white
counterpart.
K
We
are
in
a
position
right
now,
where
we
are
seeing
a
disproportionate
number
of
people
being
pulled
over
300
000
people,
specifically
at
the
year
we
looked
at
and
when
you
found
that
less
than
one
percent
of
those
stops
led
to
some
type
of
contraband
and
or
a
a
weapon,
we
see
that
there's
an
issue
there
now.
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
are
talking
about
on
this
issue
around
public
safety
and
impact
in
public
safety.
The
seven
different
violations
that
we
are
looking
at
are
not
violations
that
impact
public
safety.
K
The
current
practices
were
already
in
place,
so
I
don't
see
any
way
that
this
bill
would
have
a
negative
impact
on
public
safety
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
The
driving
equality
agenda
is
something
that
will
reclassify
certain
motor
vehicle
violations
as
a
primary
violation
which
allows
an
officer
to
conduct
a
traffic
stop
and
essentially
name
them
now
secondary
violations
in
which
traffic
stops
will
no
longer
be
used
as
the
primary
means
of
enforcement.
K
K
That's
that
that's
that's
my
good
friend
he
is.
I
give
him
a
pass.
Municipalities
across
the
country
are
developing
police
reform
legislation
and
it's
been
an
honor
for
us
to
essentially
work
with
a
number
of
different
partners.
So
in
the
midst
of
crafting
this
legislation,
I
don't
want
folks
to
think
that
this
was
a
one-off
initiative.
K
This
was
a
bill
that
was
introduced
nearly
a
year
ago,
my
team
worked
with
the
law
enforcement
along
with
the
mayor's
office
and
the
managing
director's
office,
to
put
together
a
working
group
to
decide
exactly
what
we
felt
like
we
can
do
effectively
once
we
all
agreed
that
this
was
a
significant
issue
that
disproportionately
impact
people
of
color,
similar
to
the
daily
consent
degree.
The
driving
equality
agenda
will
require
police
to
collect
and
report
information
as
it
relates
to
traffic
stop.
The
police
department
will
maintain
digital
records
of
who's
conducted.
K
The
stop
who
had
who
was
stopped,
where
the
driver
would
stop
the
reason
for
the
stop
and
whether
or
not
police
action
was
taken,
and
if
contraband
or
weapon
was
discovered.
This
information
will
be
published
on
a
regular
basis
and
searchable
for
everybody.
So
not
just
not
only
will
the
bill
look
to
address
some
of
the
disproportionate
number
of
stops.
We
see
in
people
of
color.
The
bill
will
also
have
a
transparency
component.
That's
going
to
require
a
certain
level
of
communication,
with
myself
with
other
members
of
council
and
with
the
general
public.
K
The
reason
I
think
that
that's
significantly
important
is
because
what
we
are
trying
to
do
is
show
that
we
are
attempting
to
do
things
a
little
different.
This
is
2021.
We
can't
do
things
the
same
way
we
did
in
the
past.
We
have
to
be
more
innovative.
We
have
to
continue
to
reinvent
ourselves,
and
we
have
to
continue
to
put
ourselves
in
a
position
where
we're
listening
to
the
constituents
that
elected
us
all
and
responding
to
the
concerns
that's
been
communicated
to
us
and
moving
in
a
way
that's
data
driven.
K
So
I
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
for
your
support
throughout
the
course
of
this
process.
I've
talked
to
many
of
you
throughout
the
course
of
the
last
couple
months.
I
would
love
to
have
your
vote
for
this
bill,
and
I
think
this
is
something
that
is
historic,
that
can
put
us
in
a
position
where
we're
addressing
a
systemic
issue.
That's
been
plaguing
black
communities,
not
just
in
philadelphia
but
all
across
the
country.
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
Yes,
I
do
thank
you
very
much
council
president,
and
I
do
want
to
commend
my
colleague,
councilmember
isaiah
thomas,
for
his
innovative
efforts.
I
I
do
not
agree
with
him
and
I
will
be
voting
against
the
bill.
I
do
want
to
explain,
however,
my
reasons
particularly
addressing
our
district
attorney's
office,
which
I'm
very
troubled
by
their
statements.
Let
me
say
first
that
the
the
bill
is
most
likely
preempted
by
state
law.
I
The
next
thing
is
that
this
bill
makes
secondary
violations
out
of,
for
example,
driving
without
a
current
registration
for
up
to
60
days,
because
it's
not
making
it
legal,
it's
still
illegal.
It's
preventing
the
police
from
stopping
a
vehicle
and
effectively
even
ticketing
that
vehicle
for
up
to
60
days.
It
also
prevents
the
police
from
stopping
a
vehicle
that
is
driving
without
emissions
or
inspection,
stickers
and
other
things,
and
it
does
not
it's
for
all
vehicles,
trucks,
cars,
buses.
I
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
race
of
the
person.
The
person
could
be
white
black
asian
hispanic.
The
police
are,
according
this
bell,
unable
to
stop
those
vehicles
and
even
if
they
have
insurance,
their
insurance
is
ineffective.
So
if
they
hit
someone
if
they
get
into
an
accident,
if
they
hit
someone
on
a
bicycle
or
a
child,
they
effectively
have
no
coverage.
I
That
is
something
that
would
harm
the
driver
as
well
as
a
person
who
is
hit.
I
do
think
for
public
safety,
it's
important
that
our
police
be
able
to
safeguard
our
public
highways
and
roads
by
stopping
vehicles
that
are
a
danger
to
the
public
because
they
are
not
inspected,
not
registered
and
not
effectively
covered
by
insurance.
I
The
final
thing
I
want
to
say,
particularly
because
of
what
the
district
attorney's
office
has
said,
I
oppose,
and
I
have
outspokenly
said
I
am
against
improper
use
of
stop
and
frisk.
That's
unconstitutional,
it's
racially
oriented,
stop
and
frisk
has
a
legitimate,
a
purpose
provided
there
is
reasonable
suspicion,
articulable
suspicion
that
a
crime
has
been
committed
and
that
the
person
is
armed
and
dangerous.
Then
the
police
have
an
ability
to
stop
the
person
and
pat
them
down,
not
for
contraband
just
to
see.
I
If
there's
a
weapon,
however,
police
departments,
including
in
philadelphia,
have
used,
stop
and
frisk
unconstitutionally
and
improperly
to
simply
stop
people
in
neighborhoods,
pat
them
down
for
drugs
for
contraband
for
weapon,
whatever
they
want.
That
is
a
a
gross
misuse.
It's
unconstitutional,
I
oppose
it.
Everyone
should,
however,
stopping
vehicles
that
are
violating
the
state
traffic
code
is
not
that
they
are
stopping
vehicles
if
there
is
a
disproportionate
stopping
of
vehicles
that
are
not
in
violation
of
the
driving
code.
I
That
would
be
improper
that
is
as
as
illegal
as
any
other
thing,
but
if
they
are
properly
stopping
vehicles
that
are
in
violation
of
the
driving
code,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that
and
if
the
insinuation
or
if
the
implication
is
that
there
are
police
officers,
falsely
stopping
vehicles
and
using
traffic
code
violations
as
an
excuse,
we
should
know
about
that,
and
we
should
correct
that.
However,
a
police
officer
who
is
intent
on
stopping
someone
wrongfully
could
simply
say
they're
driving
recklessly.
I
I
think
what
we
want
to
do
is
to
make
the
public
safe
by
enforcing
the
laws.
We
don't
want
to
pass
illegal
bills
and
certainly
don't
want
to
subject
people
in
our
poorest
of
neighborhoods
to
being
hit
by
a
vehicle
that
is
uninsured.
For
that
reason,
I
will
be
voting
against
the
bill.
Thank
you
very
much.
All
right
thanks.
Please.
C
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
do
want
to
number
one.
I
want
to
thank
the
author,
the
sponsor
of
this
bill,
councilmember
thomas,
because
I
know
that
in
all
things
that
he
does
his
hardest
is
certainly
in
the
right
place
and
he's
really
trying
to
make
a
difference
for
the
citizens
of
philadelphia
and
particularly
for
those
who
have
had
the
unfortunate
experience
of
being
stopped
really
without
cause.
C
I
I
overall
support
this
piece
of
legislation,
but
I
did
have
a
question
that
I
would
like
for
the
sponsor
to
clarify,
particularly
around
the
registration,
and
so
I
did
check
in
with
my
own
insurance
agent
prior
to
this
vote
now
to
ask
specifically
about
the
insurance
effect
on
registration
and
councilman
thomas.
You
are
indeed
right.
I
was
told
by
my
insurance
provider
that
the
registration
is.
C
You
know
it
is
a
requirement,
but
it
would
not
affect
the
coverage
if
you
were
actually
in
an
accident.
However,
my
question
is:
can
you
give
us
some
additional
detail
about
the
idea
that
this
is
a
basically
if
you're
operating
your
car
without
a
ballot
registration,
you're
operating
a
motor
vehicle
illegally?
C
K
May
I
address
the
concerns
yeah.
Okay.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank
you,
colleagues
for
your
questions
and
thank
you,
for
you
know
this
dialogue
councilmember
bad
specifically,
we've
been
having
this
conversation
for
some
time,
so
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
to
the
floor
because
the
same
questions
you
have
other
constituents
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
have
as
far
as
the
violent
registration
you're
absolutely
right.
When
someone
does
not
have
a
registration,
it
does
not
have
a
negative
impact
on
their
assurance
and
something
can
still
be
done
as
it
relates
to.
K
If
incidents
take
place,
insurance
can
still
be
covered
under
this
legislation.
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear:
if
someone
is
driving
and
they
do
not
have
registration
and
their
registration
has
expired,
they
can
still
be
ticketed
right.
Often
your
registration
is
ticketed
by
the
philadelphia
parking
authority.
Often
your
registration
is
ticketed
by
law
enforcement
officers
who
might
be
foot
patrol
officers
who
might
have
just
walked
past
your
car.
You
also
can
look
at
registration
being
something
that's
enforced
as
it
relates
to
the
violation.
K
Once
someone
has
been
pulled
over
so
similar
to
a
seat
belt.
No
one
is
saying
that
it's
not
legal
to
drive
around
without
a
seat
belt,
but
when
you
look
at
the
type
of
enforcement,
all
we're
asking
the
city
of
philadelphia
to
do
is
to
look
at
the
enforcement
mechanisms,
as
it
relates
to
these
different
traffic
violations.
Now,
if
someone
is
committed,
a
crime-
and
there
is
some
type
of
reasonable
cause
to
be
able
to
pull
someone
over,
none
of
that
would
be
impacted
by
this
bill.
K
We
know
that
there
are
other
counterparts,
and
I
want
to
move
into
addressing
some
of
the
things
that
council
member,
oh
said,
council
member,
oh
talked
about
the
idea
that
people
who
are
being
pulled
over
are
people
who
committed
violations.
I
wouldn't
argue
that,
but
my
argument
would
be
when
you
look
at
the
percentage
of
people
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
you
look
at
the
people
who
commit
violations
based
on
council
member
o's
logic.
K
He's
basically
suggested
that
only
black
people
break
the
law
because
only
black
people
are
being
pulled
over
and
if
you
talk
to
white
folks
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
which
I've
talked
to
plenty
of
them,
their
registration
expires
their
mission,
stickers
expire.
They
just
don't
have
the
same
negative
interaction
with
law
enforcement
that
their
black
counterparts.
Do.
I
want
to
address
a
couple
other
things
that
council
member
oh
talked
about.
K
He
brought
up
a
a
letter
that
was
sent
from
a
state
legislator
that
was
that
was
actually
dated
january
13th
like
he
said,
but
that
letter
was
actually
sent
to
council
today.
So
I
want
to
be
clear
for
the
record
that
that
letter
was
sent
to
council
today,
while
it
was
dated
january
13th.
I
also
want
to
be
clear
for
the
record
that
the
letter
was
inaccurate.
It
talked
about
nine
different
violations
that
we
were
looking
to
lose
move
from
primary
reasons,
to
secondary
reasons,
and
that's
just
not
true.
K
There
aren't
non-violations,
there
were
never
non-violations,
and
the
information
in
a
letter
is
again
is
not
accurate.
On
top
of
that,
the
letter
also
suggests
that
the
city
will
lose
revenues
based
on
finding
and
feeing
poor
people
and
people
of
color.
The
department
of
justice
looked
at
what
took
place
in
ferguson
and
actually
said
that
what
was
happening
ferguson
was
wrong.
It
was
a
civil
rights
violation.
K
I
want
to
say
again
thank
you
to
all
of
my
colleagues
for
your
support
throughout
the
course
of
this
process.
I'm
going
to
be
very
clear
that
I've
had
dialogue
with
my
colleagues,
some
who
communicated
they
can
vote
for
it,
some
who
communicated
they
can't
vote
for
it
and
others
who
communicated
to
the
concern.
But
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
having
authentic
dialogue
as
it
relates
to
what
we're
doing
and
we're
not
playing
politics
on
an
issue
that
violates
people's
civil
rights.
K
I
would
be
more
than
willing
to
have
a
conversation
with
any
state
legislator
who
feels
like
that
this
bill
is
illegal.
We've
talked
to
a
number
of
different
lawyers,
including
the
public
defender's
office,
the
city
solicitor's
office,
as
well
as
multiple
attorneys,
who
do
say
that
the
city
of
philadelphia
has
our
own
right
as
a
county
to
determine
how
we
enforce
motor
vehicle
co-violations.
This
bill
will
not
change
the
law.
This
bill
will
not
say
that
something
is
no
longer
illegal.
K
This
bill
would
only
communicate
how
we,
as
a
municipality,
support,
enforce
these
things
that
are
essentially
illegal.
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
appreciate
it
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
other
colleagues,
any
other
questions
that
my
colleagues
may
have
before.
We
look
to
vote
on
this
bill.
Council.
C
So
it's
it's
not
the
biggest
issue,
but
still.
Nonetheless,
it
is
an
important
issue
to
me.
I
am
going
to
support
the
bill
today,
but,
but
only
with
the
agreement,
councilmember
thomas
did
say
that
he
would
continue
to
monitor
that
the
registration
numbers
and
pay
attention-
and
we
will
revisit
this
after
we
have
enough
data
to
see
if
this
is
a
significant
problem
that
we
really
need
to
address
in
a
more
robust
way.
C
G
I
had
a
point
of
information.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
a
couple
of
things
and
I'm
gonna
make
sure
that
my
understanding
of
the
bill
is
correct
in
looking
at
the
bill,
which
is
the
the
most
recent
amendment
that
I
see,
I
see
both
the
infor
enforcement
of
primary
violations,
which
allows
a
law
enforcement
officer
may
initiate
a
vehicle
stop
and
after
discretion
cite
a
driver,
five
for
a
violation
and
then
enforcement
of
a
secondary
violation.
G
My
understanding
of
council
member
thomas,
if
you
can
correct
me
that
you
worked
very
closely
with
the
police
department
in
reference
to
drafting
this
legislation,
and
so
my
understanding,
based
on
your
work
with
the
police
department,
as
well
as
the
city
solicitor's
office.
I
was
deemed
that
this
draft
that
was
before
us
today
is
legal
from
their
perspective,
both
from
the
police
department
and
them
saying
that
this
will
not
impact
their
ability
to
enforce
the
law
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
K
I
I
I
So
while
it
is
technically
correct
to
say
you
can
say
that
you
still
have
an
insurance
policy
and
you
have
coverage
that
coverage
is
at
risk
and
for
those
who
don't
believe
that
insurance
and
companies
are
eager
to
to
give
up
money,
you're
you're,
taking
a
great
risk-
and
I
would
say,
on
on
the
greater
side
of
not
being
covered,
because
your
car
was
in
violation
of
this
state
motor
vehicle
road
and
you
were
not
supposed
to
be
driving
it.
Therefore,
they
have
a
right
and
ability
to
deny
coverage
to
you.
I
K
K
Just
want
to
say
again
thank
you
to
my
colleagues,
and
you
know
I
I
respectfully
disagree
with
capita
council
member
owes
perspective
of
this
particular
issue,
and
I
also
want
to
just
for
the
record
and
for
public
consumption,
communicate
that
I'm
very
accessible.
We've
had
multiple
dialogues
with
a
lot
of
our
colleagues
who
felt
like
the
bill
was,
it
was
problematic
and
had
questions
and
concerns
around
the
bill,
and
most
of
my
colleagues
decided
to
have
that
conversation
before
we
came
for
a
vote
today.
K
So
I
feel
like
if
councilmember
oh,
as
well
as
other
people
who
he
communicated
communicated
to
us
and
if
they
had
legit
concerns
about
the
bill,
and
they
really
felt
like
that.
This
was
something
that
would
impact
the
public
safety
of
the
citizens
of
philadelphia.
It's
probably
not
best
to
wait
until
the
day
of
when
we're
actually
going
to
vote
for
it
to
be
able
to
have
that
conversation.
So
all
of
these
questions
could
have
been
answered.
K
We
could
have
put
a
council
member,
oh
in
a
position
where
we
could
have
had
this
conversation,
so
he
understands
what
we're
trying
to
do
as
well
as
what
we're
not
or
what
we're
not
trying
to
do
as
well
as
any
other
letter
that
might
be
referenced
here
today.
So
thank
you,
council
president.
I
appreciate
you
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
provide
a
moment
of
point
and
clarity.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you
and
reading
to
the
bill
once
again,
councilmember
thomas
in
his
legislation
makes
reference
to
various
matters
under
the
state
code
and
my
understanding
is
make
sure.
I
understand
fully
that
no
point
is
a
police
officer
in
city
of
philadelphia
prohibited
from
enforcing
the
state
code
within
the
city
of
philadelphia.
G
They
are
doing
a
force
before
a
primary
violation
through
a
citation
or
they're
doing
a
enforcement
of
a
secondary
violation
which
may
enable
that
officer
to
initiate
a
motor
vehicle
stop
for
secondary
violation.
So
my
understanding,
my
reading
of
the
legislation,
is
that
officers
within
the
city
of
philadelphia
have
the
full
ability
to
enforce
all
of
the
traffic
laws
within
the
commonwealth
of
pennsylvania
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
The
difference
is
doing
an
enforcement
by
way
of
a
citation,
as
opposed
to
a
vehicle.
Stop.
Am
I
correct
in
that
reading.
K
Council,
member
green
again
is
correct
and
we
are,
as
a
council
body,
continuing
to
work
on
different,
innovative
ways
of
enforcement
of
motor
vehicle
violations,
such
as
addressing
noise
ordinances
and
other
issues
that
constituents
of
philadelphia
have
communicated
to
us
as
a
concern.
So
thank
you,
council,
member
greene,
for
the
clarity
and
thank
you
council
president
for
allowing
us
to
address
this
issue
and
that
we
appreciate
it.

This
bill
hadn't
been
read
on
two
different
days.
The
question
now
shall
the
bill
pass.
Finally,
mr
decker
call
the
rule.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
you
know,
mr
decker,
let
me
correct
that
boo.
It

Thank
you,

I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
supporting
my
office
through
the
introduction
passage
and
now
enforcement
of
the
renter's
access,
which
went
into
effect
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
Yesterday.
I
especially
want
to
thank
council
members,
gartier
gam,
heenan
and
thomas
who
co-sponsored
this
legislation
and
were
early
supporters
of
the
bills,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
community
legal
services
for
their
early
partnership
and
expertise
in
crafting
this
legislation.
D
D
This
law
evens
the
playing
field
and
gives
them
a
fair
shot.
My
team,
his
work,
has
been
working
hard
with
local
stakeholders
to
create
clear
guidelines
and
outreach
materials,
so
renters
are
aware
of
their
rights
and
landlords
have
clear
information
on
what
is
expected
of
them.
We
have
already
begun,
circulating
these
guidelines
and
will
be
uploaded
shortly
to
the
l
I
philadelphia
commission
on
health
and
relations
and
fair
housing
commissions
with
websites.
D
A
You
very
much
that
concludes
our
calendar
for
today,
prior
to
recognizing
members
regarding
speeches.
I'll
just
want
a
note
for
the
record.
At
this
time
we
will
use
the
chat
feature
available
on
microsoft
teams
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
particular
purpose.
D
Thank
you,
council
president.
This
is
short
and
sweet.
I
want
to
congratulate
my
colleague,
councilmember
isaiah
thomas
won
all
the
hard
work
around
this
driver
equity
bill.
You
know
we
he
has
worked
really
hard
in
making
sure
this
is
possible
for
philadelphia.
So
congratulations,
councilmember
thomas
on
this
victory
and
have
a
great
day.
A
I
Thank
you,
council
president.
Today
I
introduced
a
resolution,
the
result
of
a
arson
upon
the
house
of
a
community
leader
council
members,
quinones
sanchez
and
mark's
and
council
members
and
myself
were
at
a
press
conference
and
they
deal
with
this
issue
constantly
and,
and
I
try
to
support
them
as
best
I
can
they're
intimately
involved
with
the
community.
I
In
this
instance,
this
woman
came
out
of
her
her
home
to
confront
drug
dealers
on
her
on
her
block
that
were
giving
away
free
samples
of
heroin
in
an
effort
to
market
their
product,
turn
that
corner
into
a
a
drug
dealing
a
location
and
for
that
she
received
the
phone
call
while
she
was
not
at
home,
but
her
child
was
at
home
that
the
front
of
her
house
was
on
fire
and
and
there's
a
video
of
it.
That
was
a
couple
weeks
ago.
I
The
the
the
persons
who
who
did
this
have
have
been
there
are
people
who
can
identify
them,
but
the
investigation
goes
on.
This
is
an
issue
where
I
think
it
is
critical
that
the
city
leave
no
stone
unturned
to
ensure
that
people
understand.
This
is
not
a
new
day
in
philadelphia
where
you
start
attacking
community
leaders
and
residents
who
are
trying
to
live
in
a
decent
community
setting
their
homes
on
fire.
I
I
urge
the
administration
to
issue
a
20
000
reward
for
information,
leading
to
the
arrest
of
these
perpetrators
and
information
leading
to
those
who
were
behind
them.
This
has
to
be
a
priority
in
our
city.
Our
citizens
are
watching,
our
community
leaders
are
watching
and
the
criminals
are
watching
to
see
what
we
are
going
to
do.
This
woman
is
concerned
about
her
safety.
I
will
also
make
this
point.
We
will
not
be
able
to
address
crime
and
murder
in
this
city.
I
If
we
solely
focus
a
large
portion
on
solving
murders
and
investigations,
you
will
be
overwhelmed
with
them.
Prevention
is
critical
in
law
enforcement
to
provide
for
public
safety,
and
we
need
to
do
that.
In
this
case,
there
are
active
criminals,
they
are
out
there
and
this
has
to
be
a
priority
in
our
police
department
in
our
city
to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
citizens.
Thank
you.
E
He
was
right
on
keeping
the
crowd
calm
and
he
was
flawless
and
I've
attended
over
30
of
these
conferences.
I
was
president
twice
once
elected
and
once
filling
a
the
board
asked
me
to
fill
up
an
expired
term
and
it's
not
an
easy.
It's
not
an
easy
task,
and
I
on
either
neither
of
those
occasions
that
I
do
nearly
as
well
as
councilman
greene
did
last
week.
So
I
just
want
to
congratulate
him.
E
G
Thank
you
council
president,
thank
you
to
my
colleague,
councilman
roneo,
who
has
provided
a
lot
of
wisdom
in
his
leadership
involved
in
not
only
pennsylvania,
municipal
league
and
also
nationally
in
cities
where
he
served
as
a
past
present
for
both
those
organizations.
Following
in
in
your
footsteps
and
the
fourth
steps
of
my
former
boss
council
member
marin,
tasco,
both
of
you
have
been
leaders
in
promoting
the
city
of
philadelphia
around
the
commonwealth
and
around
the
country.
So
thank
you
for
your
kind
words.
G
The
kind
of
the
last
barrier
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
move
forward
in
reference
to
diversity
is
in
reference
to
those
at
physical
and
learning
differences.
As
we
go
into
next
year.
I
will
be
moving
forward
with
the
americans,
with
disability
act
transition
plan
for
the
city
of
philadelphia
to
make
our
city
hall
as
most
open
as
possible
for
those
at
physical
learning
differences,
as
well
as
our
entire
city,
and
I'm
a
strong
proponent
of
this
work,
because
many
of
you
know
that
I
have
a
son
on
the
autism
spectrum.
G
G
J
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Let
me
start,
mr
president,
by
adding
my
voice
to
the
choir
councilmember
greene.
Congratulations
on
all
of
the
work
and
leadership
that
you
have
provided
via
the
pennsylvania
league,
along
with
the
it
has
served
our
city.
Well,
so
congratulations
to
you
and
thank
you,
council,
member
o'neill
as
well.
I
also
want
to
congratulate
council
member
kendra
brooks
last
night.
She
and
I
think,
council
member
gilmore
richardson,
also
participated.
J
Now
I
want
to
just
note
that
I
got
a
call
during
our
council
that
we
lost
a
philadelphian
who
had
done
a
great
deal
of
work
for
each
of
us
in
the
area
of
photography,
and
we
know
how
important
photographers
are.
We
think
about
the
historic
photo
with
brother,
malcolm
and
dr
king.
We
think
about
dr
king
and
rabbi,
heschel
and
and
the
power
that
photographers
have
in
memorializing
history,
mr
president,
and
here
in
our
great
city
of
philadelphia.
J
J
That
means
you
know
why
she's,
I
call
him
my
mega
man
photographer
and
I
called
councilmember
bass
during
the
session,
because
I
couldn't
think
of
the
name
that
I
was
missing
from
germantown
avenue
and
that
was
called
her
and
charmaine
met
like
turn,
and
they
were
both
like
george
butler
george
butler.
You
know
the
memorializing
families
and
very
important
days
in
our
city.
Well,
I
want
to
note
for
the
record
that
we
lost
our
main
man.
Marty
marty
register
from
leaping
lion,
photography
every
picture
I
ever
took.
J
A
J
I
want
to
say
to
his
family,
I
want
to
say
to
his
life
partner,
kim
perry.
I
want
to
say
to
his
sister
d
registers
fox
thank
you
for
sharing
him.
I
want
to
say
to
his
his
partner
in
photography.
You
know
it
is
not
perfect.
When
you
know
you
have
five
pimples
and
it's
the
day
of
the
shoot
he
calls
in
ellen
conway
to
tag
team
with
him
and
ellen
would
do
your
makeup.
While
marty
took
your
pictures
marty,
we
love
you
leaping
lion.
J
J
You
know
national
estate
planning
a
month
is
extremely
important
and
anyone
who
is
talking
about
preventing
gentrification,
preventing
gentrification,
that's
not
only
simply
about
the
cost
of
property,
but
it's
also
home
preservation,
neighborhood
stabilization
and
how
we
build
and
pass
along
generational
wealth
and
because
many
folks
haven't
been
wealthy
enough
to
have
an
accountant
and
an
attorney.
You
know
on
you
know
on
hand
for
what
they
need
to
do
with
their
personal
business.
J
A
D
Thank
you,
council.
President
yeah.
I
know
marty
was
a
staple
at
many
many
many
events
so
to
his
family.
Thank
you
for
for
their
service.
I
want
to
also
congratulate
councilmember
thomas
for
his
work
on
this
driving
bill.
Anytime.
You
have
a
good
debate.
It
means
you're,
doing
good
things
when
you're
asking
the
tough
questions
and
the
tenseful
conversations
about
how
we
change
the
narrative
so
congrats
on
the
work
and
and
then
the
work
to
be
done
because
ultimately,
the
bill
is.
D
This
is
the
beginning
of
a
process
not
the
end
of
it.
It's
how
you
implement
it
and
monitor
it.
There
will
be
telling
just
want
to
again
highlight
and
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
who
participated
in
many
of
the
hispanic
month
activities,
particularly
councilman
member,
oh,
who
really
has
between
the
feria
del
libro
and
viva
viva
latino
has
done
a
really
good
job
this
year,
highlighting
some
of
the
latino
culture
and
events.
So
I
want
to
personally
thank
him,
but
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
this
afternoon.
We
started
this
about
four
years
ago.
D
We
will
have
a
latinos
in
government
reception
in
the
city
hall
courtyard,
I'm,
along
with
city
solicitor,
cortez
deputy
mayor
cynthia
figueroa
and
a
number
of
deputy
commissioners
who've
been
promoted
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
If
you
haven't
met
some
of
them,
janira
barroso,
we
have
richard
montenez,
orlando
rendon,
and
this
year
we've
also
included
some
of
the
highest
ranking
members
of
the
public
safety
portfolio.
D
Our
captains
both
happen
to
be
female
captain
maria
rodriguez
and
captain
cece
ortiz,
so
go
figure,
but
all
the
folks
participating.
So
any
of
my
council
colleagues,
who
are
around
around
five
o'clock,
if
you
want
to
stop
by
the
courtyard
and
just
say,
thank
you

share
with
us.
We

vendors,

and
we
are
absolutely

to
thank
our
sponsor

for
helping
us
pull
this
little
recognition
of
folks
just
getting
together.
D
D
A
K
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
again
my
colleagues
for
passing
this
historic
legislation
today.
I
appreciate
your
support.
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
some
folks
that
are
not
my
colleagues,
then
I
want
to
go
into
my
colleagues.
Thank
you
to
usa

in
the

Of

K
I
have
to
give
a
huge
thank
you
to
mayor
kenny,
commissioner,
outlaw
and
the
entire
administration
for
working
with
us
throughout
the
course
of
this
process,
as
it
was
talked
about
earlier,
with
councilmember
greene
and
his
leadership
with
the
national
leagues
of
cities.
He
definitely
used
his
network
to
help
introduce
me
to
other
people
who
were
doing
similar
things
and
who
have
done
similar
things
at
other
places
to
be
able
to
lean
on
them
for
guidance
throughout
the
course
of
the
last
year.
K
So
thank
you,
councilmember
green,
of
course,
to
my
freshman
four
colleagues,
who
are
my
therapists
and
everything
else.
Thank
you
guys
for
having
my
back.
I
appreciate
you.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
members
kim
johnson
and
sanchez
as
well.
Who've
been
mentors
and
extremely
supportive
throughout
the
course
of
this
process.
K
Thank
you
to
councilmember
parker,
who
had
the
ballot
initiative
on
the
ballot
to
be
able
to
address
this
issue
and
to
put
us
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
use
her
balance
initiative
to
be
able
to
talk
about
how
philadelphia
is
felt
as

bad,
the
ugly,

as
the
youngest

the
most
wisdom

I
appreciate

it's
a
pleasure

still

great,
informative
dialogue

the
midst
of
that.
So
thank
you,

much
everybody

support.
I
appreciate
you
and
I
appreciate
working
with
you
all.
C
C
You
know
right
before
right
before
we
went
online,
I
got
the
call
about
martyr
augustus
and
it
nearly
dropped
me
to
the
floor.
He's
been
a
friend
for
so
long.
I
can't
even
remember
when
we
first
met.
We
go
so
far
back
and
you
know
I
just
thank
god
that
I
had
the
opportunity
to
know
him
to
be
in
his
company
to
call
him
a
friend.
You
know
he
was
somebody
who
was
really
really
special
in
the
city
and
he's
really
going
to
be
missed.
C
So
you
know
he
did
work
pictures
as
councilmember
parker
said
he
did
head
shots.
He
did
listen
for
all
for
almost
any
event
that
I
did
marty
was
there.
He
did
baby
shower
pictures
and
babe.
Then
baby
pictures
for
me
and
you
know
everything
he
was
like
family,
so
he's
really
going
to
be
missed.
You
know
by
all
of
us,
I'm
sure
so.
Thank
you,
mr
president,
for
indulging
me
on
that.
C
I
also
just
wanted
to
speak
very
briefly
about
a
press
conference
that
we
had
just
yesterday
regarding
water
view,
recreation
center
in
germantown
with
the
black
clergy
of
philadelphia.
I
want
to
thank
the
black
clergy
for
really
coming
forward
in
a
very
strong,
robust
way
and
saying
that
our
playgrounds
and
recreation
centers
deserve
more
and
there
they
have
an
initiative
now
in
which
led
by
reverend
collier.
They
are
going
to
be
really
working
and
pressing
and
pushing
for
the
conditions
of
our
rec
centers
to
be
addressed.
C
That
is
not
what
has
been
happening,
and
so
as
much
as
I
love
a
community
cleanup,
I'm
about
sick
and
tired
of
doing
community
cleanups
for
things
that
we're
paying
to
have
cleaned
up
like
our
rec
centers.
We
shouldn't
have
to
go
out
on
our
saturday
mornings
and
clean
up
rec
centers.
We
pay
for
our
rec
centers
to
already
be
cleaned
and
addressed
and
maintained
through
our
tax
dollars.
These
services
are
supposed
to
be
provided.
C
If
we,
as
a
community,
want
to
provide
additional
services,
then
by
all
means
we
should
be
able
to
do
that,
but
at
the
same
time,
the
services
that
we
pay
for
should
be
happening.
They
should
be
happening
through
our
budgetary
process.
They
should
be
happening
through
our
rebuild
initiative,
in
which
we
ask
folks
to
pay
extra
for
soda
and
sugar,
sweetened
beverages,
and
so
folks
are
asking
you
know
it's
like
the
old
commercial
where's,
the
beef.
You
know,
where's
the
money
what's
happening.
Why
is
this
not
being
addressed
in
a
more
timely
manner?
C
Why
do
we
have
to
keep
going
out
and
cleaning
up
our
recreation
centers
because
they're
not
being
clean,
they're,
not
being
greened
and
not
being
maintained
and
and
what's
happening
with
that?
Our
communities
deserve
more,
and
I
look
forward
to
really
being
a
strong
part
of
this
initiatives
and
and
ask
other
members
of
council
to
join
us.
C
One
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
to
strengthen
our
rec
centers
across
the
board
in
the
eighth
district
is
we
are
in
the
process
of
rebuilding
all
of
our
advisory
councils,
and
so
we
had
a
meeting
approximately
two
weeks
ago
with
a
number
of
individuals
over
atlanta
young.
We
expected
listen,
we
had
hoped
for
10
people.
Mr
president,
we
had
over
30
35
people
who
showed
up
and
that's
a
testament
to
the
fact
that
people
are
interested
people
care
and
they
want
to
see
more
in
their
neighborhoods.
C
So
we
started
with
lonnie
young.
We
have
worcester
playground
coming
up
this
sunday,
the
17th
from
2
to
4
p.m,
at
worcester
playground.
So
we
want
to
encourage
folks
if
you
live
in
that
area
or
if
you're
just
interested.
Please
join
us.
We
need
your
help
and
we
want
folks
to
show
up
and
show
out.
We
cannot
complain
from
the
sidelines.
We
have
to
be
an
active
part
of
what's
happening
in
our
community,
so
we
want
to
encourage
folks
to
come
out
this
sunday
from
two
to
four
at
worcester
playground.
C
We
also
have
scheduled
water
view
playground
for
an
open
house
on
november
10th.
So
we
want
folks
to
come
out
there
happy
hollow
playground
in
germantown
is
also
being
scheduled
along
with
with
a
number
of
others.
So
we
want
to
really
encourage
folks
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution,
and
you
know
we
think
that
working
together
we
can
get
great
things
done,
can't
get
it
done
by
ourselves,
not
one
of
us,
but
working
together.
We
can
get
a
lot
accomplished,
so
please
come
out
and
participate.
Thank
you,
mr
president,.
A
F
Oh,
thank
you
very
much,
council
president,
when
I
just
want
to
thank
isaiah
thomas
for
his
hard
work
and
dedication
for
his
driver
equity
bill.
It
was
not
an
easy
piece
of
legislation
or
public
policy
for
him
to
actually
shepherd
through
city
council
without
any
type
of
adverse
feedback.
So
I
just
want
to
give
him
a
shout
out,
because
I've
been
talking
with
him
from
day
one
I
watched
him
go
through
the
process.
I
watched
him
do
his
research.
F
F
F
And
last
but
not
least,
you
know
all
of
us
who
have
been
around
council
for
a
little
bit
know
our
good
friend
joe
mead,
who
currently
right
now
works
for
the
philadelphia
flyers
and
they
will
be
having
a
pep
rally
outside
city
hall
today,
with
the
broad
street
billys
bullies
put
off
your
flyers
today
at
12
p.m.
So
anyone
wants
to
come
out,
have
a
good
time
meet
gritty
as
we
kick
off
this
flyer
season,
I'm
come
on
out
and
have
a
good
time.
Thank
you,
council
president.
E
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
I
also
want
to
congratulate
my
colleagues
for
all
the
work
that
they
have
done,
and
you
know
this
debate
in
our
conversation
is
always
so
important
and
then
it's
great
to
hear
people
could
disagree
and
still
conclusion.
So
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
do
want
to
mention
something
that
council
member
green
mentioned
too
about.
It
was
an
honor
for
me
to
speak
the
other
day
down
at
the
historic
marker
dedication
for
the
pgn
philadelphia,
gay
news.
E
You
know
it's
a
historic
moment
here
for
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
mark
siegel,
and
his
husband
jason
have
really
given
a
lot
to
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
also
the
ability
for
younger
people
to
stand
on
our
shoulders
to
achieve
even
new
heights.
So
I'm
not
a
big
speaker
here
in
a
lot
of
these
sessions,
but
I
thought
it
was
really
important
to
congratulations
to
the
pgn
and
mark
segal.
Thank
you.
