O
Good

I
am
dr
harold
jolly
pastor
of
the
second
macedonian
baptist
church
located
at
1301
west
ruskin
street.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
majority
leader
council
member
shirelle
parker,
who
represents
the
9th
district
and
who
is
indeed
a
true

I
would
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
council
president
daryl
clark
and
all
the
other
members
of
the
common
council
for
the
work
you
continue
to
do
on
behalf
of
the
constituents
of
philadelphia.
O
O
O
We
thank
you
for
the
hearts
and
the
works
of
service
seeking
to
improve
life
for
every
man,
woman,
boy
and
girl.
We
pray
not
just
for
them,
but
also
for
their
support
staff,
which
holds
them
up
as
they
are
facing
the
pressures
of
serving
we
request.
Oh
god,
that
you
strengthen
them,
as
they
avail
themselves
daily
to
engage
in
this
tireless
work.
O
Lord,
we
pray
for
the
city
of
philadelphia.
It
is
in
this
season
where
sickness,
economic
hardship,
violence,
low
values
and
morality
pledge
various
communities.
Families
are
hurting
because
of
loss.
Our
prayer
for
this
day
and
days
to
come
is
for
you
to
bring
healing
and
wholeness
to
those
who
are
burdened
with
the
pressures
of
life.
O
O
A

C
P
C
A
C
A
Thank

It
is
the
mood
and
property
second,
that
the
legislative
matters
stated
by
councilman
parker
may
be
added
to
the
agenda
for
today.
Should
those
matters
arise
during
the
course
of
this
council
session,
all
in
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
aye,
so
the
polls
eyes
have
it
and
the
motion
is
approved
and
our
next
word
of
business
is
communications
and
the
clerk
will.
Please
read
the
messages
from
the
mayor
and
any
other
communications
that
he
may
have
in
his
possession
today.
B
Yes,
mr
president,
I
have
a
letter
from
the
mayor
to
the
president,
members
of
the
council
of
the
city
of
philadelphia
advising
council
that,
pursuant
to
sections
4
604-2307
charter,
he
is
today
transmitting
to
the
account
to
the
council,
the
recommendation
of
the
city
planning
commission
on
the
following
bills.
The
number
is
210-776-210-777-210798.
A
Much
mr
decker
and
our
next
little
business
is
the
introduction
of
bills
and
resolutions
and,
by
way
of
a
reminder,
we're
asking
that
all
resolutions,
including
privileged
resolutions,
be
placed
on
the
final
passes
calendar
for
the
next
session
of
council
unless
they
are
being
referred
to
committee
in
our
current
remote
environment.
This
procedure
will
provide
the
appropriate
opportunity
for
public
comment.
I
want
to
thank
you
in
advance
for
your
anticipated
cooperation.
B
Yes,
mr
president,
councilwoman
parker
offers
three
bills
entitled
an
ordinance
adding
a
new
chapter.
950
700,
entitled
leasing
of
commercial
property
will
require
commercial
lessors
to
provide
certain
disclosures
before
entering
lease
agreements
and
to
provide
related
protections
to
tenants
and
it
is
regulating
the
direction
of
movement
of
traffic
on
camach
street,
between
wagner
avenue
and
fisher
avenue,
and
an
audience
regulating
the
direction
of
movement
of
traffic
on
east
godfrey
avenue
between
summerdale
avenue
and
pratt
street.
B
B
H
Thank
you
so
much
council
president.
Today
we
are,
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background
on
this
bill.
We're
solidifying
the
future
of
our
city's
nationally
acclaimed
eviction
diversion
program
which
has
earned
the
support
of
members
of
this
body.
Our
mayor,
the
attorney
general
and
our
governor.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
my
co-sponsors.
H
H
It
ensures
our
courts
can
effectively
manage
caseloads
that
would
otherwise
overwhelm
their
resources
and
create
lengthy
delays,
and
it
has
been
an
instrumental
part
of
how
philadelphia
has
succeeded
in
distributing
rental
assistance
funds
when
so
many
other
jurisdictions
across
the
state
have
failed.
Our
diversion
program
has
reduced
evictions
by
almost
80
percent
last
year.
Its
mediation
process
has
a
93
percent
success
rate.
We've
also
created
the
most
efficient
rental
disbursement
system
in
the
country
distributing
over
200
million
dollars
so
far,
roughly
7
million
dollars
or
more
a
week.
H
The
number
the
case
management
within
the
municipal
courts
has
been
reduced.
Court
delays
around
eviction
have
been
reduced
from
90
days,
pre-pandemic
to
just
30
days.
Currently,
the
need
to
keep
our
communities
housed
in
the
name
of
public
health
became
even
more
apparent,
especially
during
this
pandemic.
Despite
being
one
of
the
poorest
large
cities
in
the
united
states,
philadelphia
proved
that
we
can
prov.
We
can
prevent
poverty-based
evictions
with
visionary,
comprehensive
policies.
H
Policies
have
been
since
lauded
by
the
white
house
celebrating
our
city
as
a
gold
standard
and
a
national
model,
and
it's
also
proven
to
have
enormous
collaboration
between
our
city
agencies,
between
organizations
and
our
housing
groups,
as
well
as
the
municipal
courts,
which
have
been
an
incredible
leader
on
this
effort
for
diversion
with
the
support
of
with
all
of
the
colleagues
on
city
council,
our
leaders
and
our
community
partners.
We
showed
that
we
can
meet
crisis
with
solutions
that
actually
work.
H
B
B
Councilman
jones
offers
three
bills
and
two
resolutions
entitled
an
ordinance
authorizing
various
encroachments
at
3536
calamity,
street
philadelphia,
pennsylvania
and
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
philippines
zoning
maps
by
changing
the
zoning
designations
of
certain
areas
of
land
located
within
an
area
bounded
by
front
street
umbria
street
paoli,
avenue,
ridge,
avenue,
liberty,
street
valley
avenue
and
henry
avenue,
and
an
ordinance.
Many
title:
nine
of
the
philadelphia
code
entitled
regulation
of
businesses,
trades
and
professions
by
adding
a
new
chapter
at
nine.
B
L
L
L
It
is
frightening
to
think
that
illegal
gambling
or
unmonitored
gambling
goes
on
and
not
only
do
they
provide
that
nuisance,
business
environment,
but
some
more
nefarious
individuals
stake
them
out.
Watch
who
wins,
calls
on
a
cell
phone
and
says
that
that
person
who
just
won
is
wearing
a
blue
jacket,
tan
hat
and
we
should
approach
them.
This
hearing
will
be
designed
to
take
a
look
at
the
crime.
Mapping,
take
a
look
at
the
monitoring
and
what
we
found
was
that
four
or
so
companies
control
that
industry.
L
L
If,
in
your
zip
code,
you
have
these
machines
if
you
live
in
a
zip
code
with
these
corner
stores
do
not
exist,
and
these
machines
do
not
plague
those
corner
stores
and
our
neighbors,
then
you
have
very
little
to
say
to
me.
But
if
you
live
in
a
community
that
is
plagued
by
these
same
problems,
then
we
can
discuss
solutions.
A
Thank
you
councilman
and
again
councilman.
Thank
you
so
much
for
going
to
the
commonwealth
court
in
somewhat
challenging
environment,
I'm
sure
in
being
on.
On
top
of
this
whole
issue,
around
lost
and
stolen
guns.
We
hope
we
will
ultimately
be
victorious
based
on
all
of
the
work
that
you
all
have
been
doing.
Thank
you,
mr
decker.
Do
you
have
some
resolutions
also.
B
I
do
councilman
jones
also
offers
two
resolutions.
Inside
of
the

B
B

B
B
Councilwoman
brooks

one
resolution
inside
of
the
resolution
recognizing
the
work
and
contributions
of
eternity
and
grassroots
community
activist
leon,
a
williams
esquire,
whose
political
involvement
as
an
independent
candidate
inspired
a
reimagining
of
the
criminal
justice
system
and
laid
the
groundwork
for
future
generations
of
innovative
public
servants
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
Mr
president,
councilwoman
brooks
would
like
to
be
recognized
for
a
motion
on
this
resolution.
D
A
A
A
B
A
E
Thank
you,
council
president
and
I'm
gonna
speak
about
the
david
cohn
resolution
first,
but
it's
really
a
sincere
congratulations
to
david
l
cohn
on
his
confirmation,
as
the
u.s
ambassador
to
canada.
Pretty
amazing.
I
want
to
thank
the
co-sponsors
of
this
resolution.
Council
members,
squealer
bass,
parker,
green
gilmore,
richardson,
gautier
and
o'neal.
E
It
was
not
one
person
I
believe
on
this
call
who
doesn't
know
david,
l,
cohn
and
some
of
you
probably
even
work
with
him
when
he
was
in
this
building.
I
know
council
president,
you
did
and
many
others
and
he
served
as
chief
of
staff
to
the
honorable
ed
rendell
years
ago.
He
was
nothing
less
than
a
force
for
change
on
the
second
floor
of
this
city
hall,
at
a
time
when
philadelphia
needed
desperately
big
ideas
and
big
changes.
E
It's
been
well
documented
over
the
years.
So
I'm
not
saying
anything
new
here,
but
david
cohn's
leadership
in
revitalizing,
philadelphia's,
economy
and
city
when
we
were
on
the
brink
of
financial
disaster
was
a
game
changer
the
game
changer
for
the
trajectory
of
this
city,
and
we
owe
him
our
gratitude
today
for
his
sleepless
nights
back
then
putting
everything
back
together
for
the
city,
david
cohen,
worked
tirelessly
for
philippi
as
a
public
servant,
and
he
raised
the
bar
for
future
leaders
in
the
city.
E
Many
of
us
know
him
for
his
most
recent
work
at
comcast,
but
he's
always
maintained
his
commitment
to
philadelphia
over
the
years
by
contributing
to
organizations
focused
on
helping
our
many
communities
in
need.
Most
recently,
david
has
been
honored
by
a
variety
of
organizations
receiving
awards,
such
as
the
4-h
brand
champion
award
in
2018,
the
kappa
alpha
size,
distinguished
citizens,
award
in
2019
the
president's
award
from
the
national
urban
league
in
2020
and
has
consistently
been
named
to
the
black
enterprise
magazine's
list
of
top
corporate
diversity.
E
Executives
and
again,
I
want
to
thank
david
l
cohn
for
his
dedication
to
the
city
of
philadelphia
over
the
years.
Wish
him
the
very
best
in
representing
the
united
states
of
america
and
our
neighboring
country
to
the
north,
canada?
I
have
no
doubt
we
will.
He
will
represent
our
country
with
the
honor
and
dignity
this
position
requires.
E
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
speak
to
the
second
one,
which
is
jim
gardner.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
speak
about
jim
gardner.
I
knew
him
back
in
the
early
80s
actually,
and
his
service
on
6
abc
to
the
people
of
philadelphia
in
this
region
is
truly
amazing.
For
the
last
45
years,
it's
been
customary
to
see
that
friendly
face
and
voice
of
jim
gardner
to
deliver
us.
The
evening
news
he's
been
with
us
in
our
homes,
our
offices,
restaurants,
everywhere
else
there
was
a
tv
tuned
into
channel
six.
E
He
is
known
for
he
has
he's
been
there,
he's
known
for
his
calm
and
thoughtful
delivery
of
the
news
and
his
charming
sense
of
humor
when
things
go
wrong,
as
is
inevitable
in
a
live
broadcast.
In
addition
to
his
work
in
broadcast,
jim
is
active
in
philanthropy
and
gives
back
to
our
city.
He
is
particularly
proud
of
the
fact
that
one
broadcast
journalism
student
at
temple
university
has
been
awarded
the
jim
garner
scholarship
to
help
pay
for
his
or
her
education
every
year
since
1987.
E
amazing,
truly
an
amazing
gift
to
our
families.
Here,
just
like
the
action
news
jingle
has
told
us
to
do
for
as
long
as
he's
been
on
the
air,
we
can
now
say
to
him:
move
closer
to
your
world
jim
and
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
You've
earned
it
today.
I
thank
you
for
honoring
6abc
action,
news,
jim
gardner,
upon
his
upcoming
retirement
and
recognizing
his
years
of
service
to
the
people
of
philadelphia
and
the
region
to
whom
he
delivered
urgent
news
and
information
every
day
since
1976..

In

also
reserve
the
right
to
limit
the
number
of
speakers
with
repetitious
comments
are
being
made
on
the
same
matter
which
could
affect
callbacks
for
public

at

Again,
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
your
willingness
to
participate
in
this
public
comment
in
this
session
of
city
council.
Please
be
aware.
C
A
Q
Q
According
to
the
hearing,
I
want
to
just
encourage
people
who
have
these
tangled
titles
to
make
arrangement
with
the
revenue
department
to
make
payment
arrangements
on
real
estate
taxes.
They
have
an
excellent
opportunity
to
really
truly
protect
generational
wealth.
If
elected
officials
truly
believe
that
untangling
titles
could
reduce
violence
in
our
community
and
really
help
with
generational
wealth,
which
I
agree
on
that
aspect
of
it,
they
would
open
up
this
process.
Q
Q
According
to
that
hearing,
this
issue
of
tangled
titles,
unfortunately,
is
concentrated
in
the
african-american
community.
They
have
specific,
zip
codes
per
the
pew
foundation
study
and,
according
to
the
hearing,
a
substantial
amount
of
that
money
was
going
towards
billable
hours
for
attorneys.
I
would
agree
definitely
that
when
there's
a
court
case
that
we
definitely
need
attorneys,
but
everything
that
we
could
do
to
alleviate
this
problem
by
using
professionals
who
have
expertise
in
clearing
titles,
I
I
think,
would
be
a
value
to
our
community.
Q
We
don't
want
to
limit
this
process.
That
could
be
it's
a
conveyancing,
it's
a
title
issue
and
we
need
to
clear
it
with
title
companies
who
can
assist
in
this
matter
and
real
estate
professionals.
Again,
I'm
going
to
request.
Maybe
we
have
a
pilot
program
to
accelerate
the
process
of
clearing
up
these
titles
to
assist
folks
in
our
communities
like
strawberry
mansion,
where
I
grew
up
where
you
know
we
have
cultural
competency
issues
too,
so
I'm
gonna
throw
that
in.
Q
As
I
talk
about
the
fact
that
it's
where
I
grew
up-
and
I
know
that
I
could
assist
folks
in
my
community
with
untangling
these
titles,
so
I
would
encourage
elected
officials
to
open
up
your
minds
and
open
up
the
opportunities
for
other
people
to
have
to
assist
in
this
in
this
process.
I
thank
you
for
the
time.
A
B
P
Good
morning,
on
behalf
of
visit
philadelphia,
thank
you
for
inviting
our
organization
to
provide
brief
remarks.
Thank
you,
council
member
parker,
council
president
clark
and
every
council
member
who
sponsored
the
resolution
visit
philadelphia,
has
a
long
standing
effort
to
support
black
and
brown-owned
businesses
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
philadelphia,
black-owned
businesses.
Local
businesses
are
vital
to
the
fabric
of
philadelphia.
P
People
want
to
be
a
part
of
our
region's
economic
recovery
and
one
way
they
can
do
that
is
by
buying
gifts
from
vital
businesses.
Like
these
this
season
and
beyond.
As
chief
innovation
and
global
diversity
officer,
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
ensure
the
multicultural
travel
experience
is
front
and
center.
P
We
are
not
only
committed
to
taking
that
story
to
the
next
level.
We
have
many
platforms
to
do
so,
including
our
podcast
love
and
grit,
which
is
created
to
share
philadelphia's,
authentic
and
diverse
stories,
with
a
focus
on
the
resilience
and
determination
of
local
businesses
and
to
share
love,
laughter
and
hope.
P
Visit
philadelphia
is
committed
to
using
all
of
our
assets
to
support
this
resolution
and
these
businesses
from
our
website
to
social
media,
to
pr
and
paid
media
to
promote
the
region's
black
owned
restaurants,
retailers
and
more
driving
people
to
support
the
talents,
pocketbooks
and
economic
recovery
of
black
entrepreneurs
when
black
businesses
shine,
the
warmth
of
their
light
is
felt
by
the
visitors
and
the
glow
is
shared
with
the
city.
Thank
you
again
for
this
resolution.
M
M
Allowing
the
severus
office
to
resume
share
sales
through
the
bid
for
assets
platform
will
increa
increase
the
loss
of
generational
wealth
that
is
built
through
home
ownership
because
of
these
things,
people
are
able
to
stay
in
their
home
and
bankruptcy
is
down.
The
city
must
put
the
lives
of
these
people
who
occupy
these
dwellings
above
the
business
interests
who
drive
up
prices
for
renters
and
tear
through
communities
knocking
down
dignified
homes
and
instead
erecting
bland
commodities.
M
If
we
allow
the
share
of
sales
to
resume
while
the
silver
19
pandemic
is
still
ongoing,
the
only
benefactors
will
be
large
real
estate
companies.
We
can
already
see
throughout
the
city
the
ever
increasing
amount
of
corporate
owned
housing
that
remains
empty.
As
the
citizens
of
the
city
are
pushed
farther
into
the
margins
and
sometimes
onto
the
streets,
I
think
we
need
to
be
clear
and
realize
the
bid
for
assets
platform
is
not
designed
for
the
layperson,
nor
are
these
sheriff
sales.
M
The
platform
is
for
real
estate
and
property
management
companies
to
have
quick
and
easy
access
to
more
property
property
that
should
be
creating
homes
and
not
just
creating
more
revenue
for
these
businesses.
I
think
that
dignity
for
the
citizens
of
the
city
should
be
principled
and
that's
what
should
guide
as
it
moves
forward.
So
I
want
to
thank
council
person
parker
for
introducing
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
D
D
I
am
representing
the
more
than
550
members
of
the
omega

chapter
and
we
oversee

Thank
you
for
honoring

for

In
recent
years,
we've
helped
to
rejuvenate
playgrounds
in
western
north
philadelphia
annually.
For
the
reverend
dr
martin
luther
king
jr
day
of
service,
we
have
partnered
with
local
high
schools
and
community
centers
throughout
philadelphia
before
the
pandemic.
We
spare
headed
a
very
well
attended
health,
fair
held
at
the
john
f
street
community
center,
and
we
continue
to
mentor
young
people
of
all
ages
and
now
work
with
our
signature
program,
hashtag
cat,
where
we
have
helped
hundreds
of
high
school
students
navigate
the
college
process.
D
In
addition,
our
signature,
hbcu
college
tour,
has
provided
the
opportunity
for
philadelphia
high
school
students
to
explore
numerous
hbcus
over
the
past
21
years.
This
year
alone,
in
partnership
with
the
1926
foundation,
incorporated,
we
awarded
over
25
thousand
dollars
in
scholarships
to
philadelphia,
high
school
students
led
by
our
connection
and
social
action
committee.
We
have
engaged
in
dozens
of
voter
mobilization
and
registration
drives,
hosted,
gun
violence
prevention
and
candidate
forums
and
work
with
students
at
the
juvenile
justice
center
beau
dean,
overbrook,
parkway,
northwest
and
paul
robeson
high
schools.
D
Since
2006,
our
annual
day
of
sharing
has
distributed
over
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
scholarships
and
community
grants
to
support
philadelphia,
high
school
students,
attending
college
and
local
nonprofit
organizations,
our
international
and
local
focus
is
on
the
sustaining
and
promotion
of
hbcus
supporting
students
with
the
college
admissions
process,
building
your
economic
legacy,
women's
health
and
wellness,
the
arts
and
helping
refugees
of
color.
Again.
Thank
you
for
recognizing
our

on
our

I
especially
want

At

legislation

several

and
at
times
in
opposition
to
legislation,
initiatives
that
impact
our
communities.
P
I

us
earlier
this
year.
During
our
virtual
regional
conference
that
was
held
and
focused
on
philly,
you
can
still
view
it
on
youtube.
P
We
will
continue
to
perform
community
service
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
Yes,

H
Councilwoman
again,
thank
you
so
much
council
president.
There
are
living
heroes,
steve
gold
being
one
of
them
on
behalf
of
all
the
members
11
members
of
city
council,
including
council
members,
derek

parker,
allen,
dom
isaiah
thomas.
It
is
our
tremendous
honor
to
to
recognize
a
hero
like
steve
gold.
There
are
some
basic
things
that
he
has
done,
that
have
impacted
everyday
lives
if
you've
ever
walked
a
curve
cut.
H
H
He
is
known
as
the
foremost
attorney
for
the
disability
rights
movement
and
indeed,
was
at
the
very
forefront
of
it.
All.
You
know
doing
disability
rights
in
a
time
period
when
so
few
people
recognized
what
what
it
meant
was
truly
transformative
for,
for
so
many
people
he
had.
He
supported
members
of
the
national
federation
of
the
blind
as
they
fought
against
employment
discrimination.
H
He
successfully
argued
that
the
you
know
that
the
americans,
with
disability
acts
required
required.
Those
sidewalk
curb
cuts,
improving
the
daily
mobility
of
countless
people,
whether
you're
in
a
wheelchair
or
pushing
a
baby
stroller
or
in
too
high
of
heels.
Steve
gold
established
a
foundational
legal
right
to
independent
living
for
people
with
disabilities
in
groundbreaking
cases
and
and
and
fought
all
the
way
up
to
the
u.s
supreme
court.
H
That
was
steve,
gold's
mission
and
there's
no
surprise
as
well
that
he
also
dedicated
his
life
to
so
many
other
causes
for
justice,
whether
it
was
fighting
against
unjust
wars
to
getting
arrested
in
2019,
defending
immigrant
rights.
Steve
gold
has
been
there
for
everybody,
and
it
is
our
honor
on
behalf
of
our
city
council,
to
honor
him
today
and
with
that
council
president,
I
move
for
the
adoption
of
the
resolution.

I
do,
mr

a
resolution
recognized
in
the
work
and
contributions
of
attorney
and
grassroots
community
activist
leon,
a
williams
esquire,
whose
political
involvement
as
an
independent
candidate
inspired
a
reimagining
of
the
criminal
justice
system
and
laid
the
groundwork
for
future
generations
of
innovative
public
servants
in
the
city

introduced
by

Thank
you.
F
F
My
dad
has
had
an
enormous
influence
on
me,
both
as
a
parent
and
as
a
mentor
helping
forge
my
career
and
my
decision
to
enter
public
service
from
a
young
age.
I
remember
my
dad
working
hard
to
shape
my
world
view.
When
I
was
growing
up,
he
helped
me
learn
to
read
before
I
even
started
school
when
I
was
five
or
six,
he
had
me
working
with
health
that
logic
problems
to
sharpen
my
mind.
F
He
went
out
of
his
way
to
help
me
and
my
siblings
understand
who
we
are
as
black
people
and
what
that
means
in
this
city
in
this
world,
at
large,
outside
of
the
home.
My
dad
was
always
working
in
the
community
and
he
bring
me
along
to
observe
whether
he
was
providing
legal
defense
for
activists
in
our
city,
fighting
for
better
educational
opportunities
for
black
children
or
having
weekly
meetings
at
owens
restaurant
with
other
black
men
to
talk
about
initiatives
they
wanted
to
work
on
to
make
philadelphia
a
better
place.
F
My
dad
was
pushing
forward
those
ideas,
a
full
20
whole
years
before
our
progressive
d.a,
larry
krasner,
whom
I
respect
and
admire
greatly
entered
office,
and
I
have
to
admit
that,
though
pushing
forward
an
agenda
like
this
is
hard.
In
the
first
place,
it
was
even
harder
for
my
father
to
do
20
years
ago
and
as
both
a
black
man
and
an
independent
political
figure,
my
father
has
always
refused
to
bow
down
to
what
people
expected,
particularly
if
it
didn't
meet
his
idea
of
what
justice
meant
and
he
has
never
compromised
on
his
values.
F
F
My
dad
has
had
the
same
driving
influence
on
her
life,
as
he's
had
on
mine,
to
become
a
lawyer
and
to
find
her
path
in
public
service,
whether
it's
good
cause
legislation
or
laying
the
groundwork
for
the
city's
new
independent
citizens,
police
oversight.
Commission,
the
impact
he's
had
on
her
work
is
undeniable.
F
F
They
admire
and
respect
one
another,
and
so
I'm
grateful
for
her
to
her
for
using
her
platform
to
do
this
and
for
being
my
colleague,
but
also
for
being
a
real
and
true
friend,
on
behalf
of
myself,
my
sister,
my
mother
and
our
whole
family.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
dad
for
paving
the
way,
not
just
for
samantha,
myself
and
all
of
your
children,
but
for
progress,
justice
and
equity
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
A
D
D
And
have
it
be
considered
before
council?
This
resolution
is
important
to
me
because,
as
a
third
party
council
member,
I
could
not
be
where
I
am
today
without
activists
and
advocates
and
independent-minded
candidates
who've
paved
the
way
for
my
candidacy.
Before
I
was
elected
in
the
city
council.
Long
before
I
even
met
him.
Mr
williams
expressed
strong
support
for
my
run
because
he
believed
in
outsiders
challenging
the
status
quo.
D
He
himself
has
been
in
similar
position
years
ago
and
he's
no
stranger
to
shaking
things
up
and
pushing
boundaries
in
his
life
and
across
his
decades
of
work.
He
tirelessly
fought
for
what
he
believed
in,
even
when
those
ideas
such
as
condemning
the
war
on
drugs
and
mass
incarceration,
were
not
politically
popular,
too
often
mainstream
media
and
history
books
and
in
our
public
institution,
grassroots
activists
and
community
leaders,
like
mr
williams,
are
forgotten
or
overlooked.
D
So
that's
why
my
office
is
embarking
in
a
series
of
resolutions
that
will
highlight
the
important
work
of
leaders
like
mr
williams,
who
did
the
work
not
for
recognition
or
fame
or
money,
but
because
they
believed
in
justice
and
making
the
world
a
better
place.
And
finally,
I
want
to
thank
mr
williams
for
giving
us
two
brilliant
public
servants
and
leaders
on
council,
his
daughters,
council,
member
cartier
and
sam
williams.
Esquire.
A
A
D
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
want
to
make
a
take
a
brief
moment
to
acknowledge
hanaya
sharp
brown
who's,
leaving
the
school
district
of
philadelphia
after
years
of
dedicated
service.
I
know
from
years
of
education
activist
activism
and
seeing
the
district's
work
from
the
outside
and
now
as
a
city
council
member
working
from
the
inside.
D
The
working
of
the
district
is
no
easy
task.
Despite
the
many
challenges
she
faced,
hanaya
has
always
worked
diligently
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration,
transparency
and
responsiveness
in
order
to
serve
the
students
and
family
of
philadelphia.
Her
spirit,
expertise
and
leadership
will
be
missed
and
the
district
will
have
some
big
shoes
to
fill.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
for
your
work,
and
I
wish
you
the
best
on
your
future
endeavor.
Thank
you.
So
much
council
president.
I
Thank
you
very
much,
council
president.
Two
things
one
I'll
start
with
is
this:
I
don't
know
about
anybody
else,
but
I
have
received
numerous
phone
calls
from
all
sorts
of
different
parents
around
the
city
who
are
upset
about
the
lack
of
information
they've
received
about
the
new
selection
process
of
the
school
district
and
for
me
to
measure
and
to
understand.
I'm
gonna
have
a
listening
session
and,
and
perhaps
other
council
people
will
as
well
in
their
districts
around
the
city.
I
But
I'm
gonna
have
a
listening
session
and
if
I
get
a
large
response,
then
I
will
invite
everyone
to
that
listening
session,
that
town
hall,
so
we
can
hear
from
the
parents
and
the
students
themselves
and
and
hopefully
get
a
understanding
of
what
the
concerns
are.
The
second
thing
is
that
septa
continues
to
be
a
problem.
It's
just
an
atrocious
problem.
We
all
know
it
and
and
city
council
has
a
hearing
before
the
public
safety
committee
and
the
public
transportation
committee
on
monday
november,
the
29th
at
1pm.
I
However,
you
know
it's
just
shocking
to
me
that
we
continue
to
have
people
assaulted,
attacked.
We
could
start
with
people
getting
shot.
People
being
murdered
down
to
people
getting
stabbed
knives
pulled
the
throat
of
a
pregnant
woman,
people
being
punched,
people
being
assaulted,
people
being
racially
attacked
in
in
the
middle
of
the
day
in
front
of
other
people,
eight
people
being
shot
at
a
at
a
septa
station
right
outside
of
girls
high
in
central
high
school
fern
rock
station
after
that
center
city.
I
You
know
it
is
just
atrocious
and
the
failure
of
septa
to
put
uniform
police
officers
out
there.
There
should
be
uniform
police
officers
who
have
the
authority
to
intervene
on
behalf
of
those
people
who
are
victimized
uniform,
so
people
know
who
they
can
run
to
or
talk
to,
or
even
if
they
feel
threatened
stand
next
to
someone
who
is
an
authority
figure
and
say:
listen,
I'm
feeling
harassed.
I
feel
like
I'm
being
threatened
at
that
hearing.
I
I
think
septa
has
a
lot
to
answer
for,
and
I
will
also
say
the
school
district
knowing
this
problem.
Where
is
the
deployment
of
school
police
to
walk
these
students
to
and
from
troubled
areas?
Some
areas
in
our
trouble?
But
some
areas
are
trouble
and
to
be
there
and
to
be
those
figures?
Listen,
we
are
creating
frankenstein
every
time
we
let
young
people
do
the
wrong
thing
again
and
again
it
will
not
turn
out
well
for
them.
It
will
not
turn
out
well
for
those
that
are
victimized.
I
You
know
we
are
city
that
need
to
come
together
and
these
things
are
driving
us
apart.
It
will
not
end
well
for
us.
I
talk
to
adults
who
will
not
take
the
regional
line.
I
don't
know
like
what's
going
on
with
the
regional
line,
but
they
won't
take.
The
regional
line
in
our
schools
are
funded
by
property
tax
and
use
and
occupancy
pack
tax.
I
If
we
don't
get
people
back
in
our
office
buildings,
if
we
don't
get
people
back
into
being
tourists
and
and
coming
into
our
city
and
spending
their
money
here,
but
this
type
of
thing
one
of
the
ways
they
get
to
our
city,
is
through
public
transportation.
If
they
don't
want
to
ride
it.
That
is
a
problem.
I'm
really
calling
upon
septa
to
not
just
show
up
at
this
hearing,
but
to
have
answers.
We
can
see
the
answers.
We
don't
need
to
hear
more
words
and
get
more
letters.
I
J
J
J
It's
it's
seeing
the
results
of
of
her
work
and
I'm
really
sorry
to
hear
that
she's
leaving
she
has
almost
impossible
shoes
to
fill,
and
some
company
is
very
lucky
and
hopefully
somebody
it's
a
company
that
we
and
council
work
with
appreciate
her
her
service
and
everything
she's
delivered
to
to
my
office.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
I
want
to
say
ditto
to
what
council
member
brian
o'neill
just
said
about
hania.
I
first
met
her
when
bo
she
and
councilmember
gilmore
richardson
were
part
of
the
blondel
reynolds
brown
team,
and
then
she
made
a
transition
to
the
school
district
is,
is
excellent,
professional
and,
and
probably
what
I
like
most
council
members
that
she
when
she
gets
the
work
done,
she
just
gets
it
done.
You
know
it's
not
seeking
recognition.
C
It
is
with
that
spirit
in
mind,
mr
president,
that
I
want
to
say
a
hearty
congratulations
to
the
philadelphia
building
trades
on
the
selection
of
its
new
slate
of
leadership
officers,
pat
iting
as
secretary
treasurer
wayne
miller
as
president
gary
messino
as
assistant
business
manager
and
ryan
boyer
as
business
manager.
I
wholeheartedly
believe
that
this
slate,
this
team
of
leaders,
they
will
make
sure
that
the
work
that
labor
does
particularly
in
the
building
trades,
that
puts
people
on
a
path
to
self-sufficiency.
C
They
will
make
sure
that
philadelphians
from
all
walks
of
life
have
access
to
that
opportunity
and
I
think
under
ryan's
leadership
and
them
working
together
as
a
team,
we
will
see
progress
being
made
and
moving
towards
a
more
diverse
and
a
more
inclusive
building
trades.
I
want
to
say
to
ryan
boyer
in
particular
what
I
said
to
him
yesterday
that
I
know
his
father,
his
mother,
all
of
the
aunties
mr
stay
in
senior
and
everyone
who
has
been
a
part
of
the
village
to
raise
him.
They
are
extremely
proud.
C
N
Thank
you,
council,
president
and
good
morning,
everyone
I,
I
have
a
list
of
things
here
that
I
actually
have
to
go
through,
so
I'm
going
to
apologize
before
I
even
start,
because
I
try
not
to
be
too
long-winded,
but
it's
a
lot
that
has
happened.
We
have
council
last
week
and
I
want
to
actually
start
with
the
week
before
we
had
an
election,
an
important
election
and
by
the
time,
our
council
session.
N
That
thursday,
we
didn't
have
the
full
results,
but
we
do
want
to
go
back
and
just
acknowledge
the
voter
turnout
that
took
place
or
the
lack
thereof
as
of
at
least
to
this
november.
We
have
to
continue
to
challenge
ourselves,
as
it
relates
to
the
work
that
we
do
specifically
how
we
allocate
dollars
of
money
towards
the
commissioner's
office.
N
As
far
as
boxes
and
things
of
that
capacity,
but
we
we
have
an
understanding
of
what
an
election
is
going
to
look
like
in
2021,
2022,
2023
and
moving
forward
post
covent,
because
we
are
now
in
a
different
era.
So
I
do
commend
all
of
my
colleagues
for
all
of
the
work
that
council
members
did
to
help
get
to
turned
out.
I
know
some
council
members
are
war
leaders
and
have
district
responsibilities.
N
I
know
that
a
lot
of
us
went
into
schools
and
tried
to
get
young
people
registered
to
vote,
but
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
we
do
recognize.
The
turnout
is
low
and
we
are
going
to
actively
do
our
part
to
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
the
turnout
issue
as
it
released
to
the
city
of
philadelphia.
N
Outside
of
that,
I
did
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
agreeing
to
pass
the
resolution.
Honoring
khalia,
copper.
I
wanted
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
councilmember
brooks
for
joining
us
as
we
celebrated
her,
and
what
she
was
able
to
accomplish
is
the
wnba
finals,
mvp
outside
of
city
hall,
and
we
were
able
to
invite
for
those
who
couldn't
attend.
N
We
always
hear
and
get
the
reports
when
bad
stories
happen,
but
you
can
never
quantify
the
impact
that
something
like
that
has
in
the
amount
of
lives
you
see
when
you
expose
young
people
to
tangible
examples
of
people
who
look
like
them
that
come
from
where
they
come
from.
That's
accomplished
great
things,
so
I
did
want
to
say
thank
you
again
to
the
entire
copper
team,
as
well
as
all
of
my
colleagues
who
supported
and
all
of
the
schools
who
came
out
that
day.
To
celebrate
that
great
event.
N
N
Folks
who
are
looking
to
be
change
agents.
We
had
an
opportunity
to
discuss
the
work,
that's
done
in
philadelphia
as
it
relates
to
the
driving
equality
legislation
to
talk
about
what
what
we've
accomplished
and
what
we
plan
to
do
moving
forward.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
them
for
being
great
host,
as
that
was
a
phenomenal
conversation.
N
I
do
have
to
add
to
the
choir
as
it
released
to
hania
sharp
brown.
I'm
not
gonna,
repeat
anything.
Anybody
else
said
because
she
is
amazing,
as
it
relates
to
the
work
that
she's
done
with
the
district.
I
will
say
that
I
do
feel
bad
for
whoever
it
is,
whether
it's
evelyn
or
ali
or
whoever's
over
there,
that's
going
to
be
taking
our
calls,
because
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
heavy
load.
N
You
never
know
how
many
lives
you
see
when
you
do
that
type
of
work,
and
I
appreciate
how
me
I'm
gonna
miss
her.
So
much
and
you
know
again,
I
I
do
feel
bad
for
whoever
that
is.
That's
gonna
have
to
feel
the
dozens
of
calls
that
comes
this
way.
I
also
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
congratulate
my
good
friend,
ryan
boyer.
N
I
think
I
hit
everything
council
president
and
if
I
didn't,
I
promise
you,
I
won't
queue
myself
up
today.
They'll
just
have
to
wait
for
another
week.
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you,
colleagues,
and
I
congratulations
to
council,
member
gaudier's,
father
council
member.
Listen,
I'm
calling
him
your
father!
That's
how
I'm
going
to
go
with
it,
because
nowadays
my
father
is
called
isaiah's
dad,
so
we're
we're
going
to
go
with
that
way
and
and
congratulations
to
your
father
and
thank
you,
councilmember
brooks
for
the
introduction.
A
G
G
G
As
so
many
other
of
our
colleagues
have
already
stated
her.
Shoes
are
impossible
impossible
to
fill
and
we
will
miss
you
hania.
But
as
a
brb
used
to
say,
you
are
gone
without
the
e.
Now
exactly
what
that
meant,
the
jury's
still
out,
but
you're
going
without
the
e,
and
we
love
you
hania,
and
we
wish
you
well
in
your
endeavors.
G
And
finally,
mr
president,
I
rise
to
congratulate
a
westchester
university's
finest
as
he
states
the
harvard
of
the
state
system
of
higher
education,
orion
n
boyer
on
his
appointment
as
business
manager
for
the
philadelphia
business
and
construction
trades.
Council
and
his
executive
team,
including
our
friends
wayne
miller
gary
messino
and
pat
iting
in
2017,
when
ryan,
was
named
public
servant
of
the
year,
he
was
deemed
the
conscience
of
the
labor
movement.
G
Mr
president,
mr
boyer
is
not
only
the
conscience
of
the
labor
movement,
he
is
a
leader
amongst
leaders,
he
knows
and
understands
the
interests
and
the
issues
that
working
families
in
our
city
faces.
He
knows
that
diversity
of
thought
and
leadership
amongst
the
members
of
the
building,
trades
and
in
our
nation
is
critically
important.
G
G
As
you
stated,
mr
boyer
stands
on
the
shoulders
of
leaders
like
samuel
satan,
senior,
samuel,
satan,
jr,
james
harper
senior
and
junior
shout
out
to
chester
wade,
stevens
and
his
beloved
father
nate
sabir
many
others.
I
know
he
continues
to
make
nate
savior
and
jacqueline
boyer,
proud
kudos
and
congratulations
ryan.
We
are
so
very,
very
proud
of
you.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
F
Thank
you
council.
President.
First
wanted
to
just
thank
all
my
colleagues
again
for
voting
on
the
and
supporting
the
resolution
of
my
father
and
for
your
kind
words.
I
also
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
congratulate
hania
sharp
as
she
moves
on
from
the
school
district.
I
met
hania
over
a
decade
ago.
In
2009
I
threw
a
grant
I
received.
I
started
a
program
called
mommy
grads
to
help
single
moms
and
young
moms,
pursuing
their
higher
education,
and
so
I
met.
F
Kanya
was
one
of
the
participants
of
the
program
when
she
was
attending
temple,
and
so
I've
been
honored
to
get
to
know
her
through
that
experience,
but
to
watch
her
progress
and
elevate
over
time,
and
you
know
even
meeting
hania
when
she
was
pursuing
her
bachelor's
back
at
temple.
She
always
exhibited
the
same
strength
and
excellence
that
she
went
on
later
to
display
in
her
professional
career,
and
so
I'm
proud
to
have
watched
her.
F
I'm
proud
to
call
her
a
friend,
I'm
sad
that
she's
leaving
the
district,
but
I'm
happy
for
you
know
whatever
comes
next
for
you
honey,
and
I
wish
you
much
success
and
also
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
to
join
the
chorus
of
congratulations
for
ryan
boyer
in
becoming
the
first
black
leader
of
the
building
trades
council.
You
know
not
only
is
that
monumental,
it's
historic
in
and
of
itself,
but
also
given
the
history
and
the
context
of
labor
in
philadelphia.
So
congratulations.
K
K
Also,
council
president,
as
my
colleagues
and
I'm
going
to
follow
up
on
this
next
week,
officially,
but
obviously
we're
all
proud
of
the
hard
work
of
ryan
warrior.
Just
watching
him
grow
in
that
position,
and
also
assuming
to
this
position
just
shows
other
young
people
irregulars
of
their
neighborhood
er,
regardless
of
their
background
that
they
can
also
ascend
to
the
top
of
their
profession.
Most
of
you
may
not
know.
K
I
got
on
family
that
comes
from
richard
allen
on
the
johnson,
family
and
they're,
very
close
with
the
boya
family
and
my
dad
donates
to
bear,
and
so
it's
just
a
proud
moment
to
see
this
brother
rise
to
the
top
of
his
profession
and
want
to
personally
and
publicly
congratulate
him.
Council
president.
K
K
One
location
is
in
my
district
at
saint
paul
a.m:
church
at
83rd,
8390,
lindbergh,
boulevard
and
also
at
saint
mark's
church
at
4442,
frankfurt
avenue,
it's
critically
important
and
some
people
say
well.
You
know
you're
doing
these
gun
buybacks.
These
aren't
the
guns
that
the
young
guys
are
be
using.
Let
me
tell
you
something:
I'm
not
a
typical
politician,
I'm
one
that
kind
of
been
there
done
that
and
any
gun
that
you
can
pull
a
trigger
that
releases.
A
bullet
can
take
your
life.
Rather
that's
the
357
magnum
right.
A
Thank
you
councilman,
that's
so
important
and
people
need
to
be
more
responsible
with
this
gun.
They
do
they
can
and
they
will
get
in
the
hands
of
young
people
that
would
be
used,
unfortunately,
for
a
whole
lot
of
different
things.
So
we
appreciate
you
again
promoting
that
event
tomorrow.
Folks
come
out,
please
turn
in
the
gun.
You
know
get
it
get
it
out
of
the
hands
you're
not
using
it
just
turn
it
in
you
know
she
recognizes
councilman,
dom.
E
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
know
when
we
have
a
lot
of
bills
or
resolutions,
we
sometimes
use
a
consent
agenda,
I'm
going
to
just
use
a
consent.
Congratulations
I'd
like
to
congratulate
ryan
boyer,
I'd
like
to
congratulate
council
member
jamie
gautier
and
sam
williams
dad,
and
I
like
to
congratulate
hania,
sharp
brown,
tremendous
amazing.
Everyone
spoke
before
me
and
appreciate
all
the
comments
and
I
support
them.
E
If
three
hundred
thousand
people
in
our
city
qualify
out
of
the
000
in
poverty,
it's
three
quarters
of
the
people
in
poverty
can
get
checks
and
we're
talking
about
a
billion
dollars
and
300
000
people
qualify.
The
average
could
be
over
3
000
per
check.
It's
some
serious
money
here
and
whatever
we
can
do
to
get
the
word
out
is
important
and
last
but
not
least,
just
want
to
wish
everyone
a
happy,
healthy,
thanksgiving
and
joy
with
your
families.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank
you.
A
L
Thank
you.
