To

a
farm
council
will
now
come
to
order,
we're
going
to
get

and
this

The
chair
recognizes
the
reverend
kathy
mitchell
of
triumph.
Baptist
church
excuse
here
today
as
the
guest
of
councilman
thomas.
I
would
ask
all
members
and
guests
to
please
bow
your
heads
for
the
invitation.
M
Good
morning,
shall
we
pray
god,
our
father
and
creator,
jesus
christ,
the
son
redeemer
holy
ghost,
our
god,
and
count.
We
give
you
praise
and
thanksgiving
for
your
holy
presence
and
being
on
one
accord
at
this
solemn
moment.
This
prayer
is
one
of
faith
and
it
comes
through
human
lips
that
are
sometimes
full
of
doubt.
We
are
relying
on
your
goodness
and
believing
on
your
promises.
We
come
on
behalf
of
the
athens
of
america,
the
city
of
brotherly
love
and
sisterly
affection,
the
birthplace
of
american
democracy.
M
We
know
and
acknowledge
that
the
earth
is
the
lord's,
the
fullness
thereof,
the
world,
and
they
that
dwell
therein.
So
this
prayer
is
one
of
intercession
for
neighborhoods
and
communities,
parks
and
rivers,
colleges
and
universities,
malls
and
office,
buildings,
businesses
and
restaurants,
banks
and
libraries,
hospitals
and
schools,
churches
and
mosques
and
synagogues
and
temples
stadiums
and
theaters
museums
and
the
media,
scepter
and
amtrak
the
philadelphia
international
airport
bus
lines
and
taxi
cabs,
police
and
firefighters,
first
responders,
the
sanitation
department
and
the
streets
department,
heavenly
father.
This
prayer
is
for
the
city
council
of
philadelphia.
M
M
We
pray
for
them
to
have
tough
minds
and
tender
hearts
to
be
as
wise
as
servants
and
as
harmless
as
doves.
Sometimes
they
have
to
take
the
heat
when
it
is
not
their
fault
and
attacks
will
be
up
close
and
personal.
We
realize
that
they
control
and
divide
resources
and
face
challenges
and
prioritize
decisions.
M
M
If
my
people,
who
are
called
by
my
name,
shall
humble
themselves
and
pray
and
seek
my
face
and
turn
from
their
awakened
wicked
ways,
then
will
I
hear
from
heaven
we
want
you
to
hear
from
us
lord.
We
want
you
to
bow
down
your
your
ear.
We
want
you
to
forgive
our
sin
and
heal
our
land
and
move
by
your
spirit
like
you've
never
moved
before.
Come
by
here,
lord
bless
us
in
spite
of
us.
We
need
your
peace,
we
need
your
power,
we
need
your
presence.
A

you.

Thank
you.
Council
president.
Over
the
past
weekend,
moshava
a
food
truck
serving
israeli
food
was
actually
excluded
from
a
cultural
event.
Called
a
taste
of
home
and
moshava
was
disinvited
from
participating
in
the
event
due
to
threats
received
by
the
organizers
of
the
event
regarding
the
truck's
presence
there
I
started
receiving
phone
calls
over
the
weekend
and
I
was
very
upset
by
this
and
I
was
upset
for
the
food
truck
owner,
who
I
subsequently
met
with
and
spoke
with.
E
I
was
upset
for
all
the
participants
who
were
hoping
to
share
a
bit
of
their
culture
with
others
and
as
a
member
of
the
jewish
community,
I
was
again
reminded
that
anti-semitism
persists
in
this
country.
I'll
share
a
quick
story
when
I
was
12
years
old.
This
is
what
came
back
to
me.
Living
in
fort
lee
new
jersey,
we
lived
in
a
63
unit
apartment
building,
our
apartment
was
800
square
feet.
The
rent
was
100
a
month.
E
My
brother
was
16,
I'm
12
with
my
parents,
and
we
had
no
hot
water
for
two
weeks
and
my
mother
called
the
landlord
in
some
location.
I
never
heard
of
called
lower
marion
actually
and
a
month
later,
because
my
mother
complained
to
the
mayor.
We
had
no
hot
water,
the
only
three
jewish
families
in
the
building
were
evicted.
E
Their
input
on
this
incident
how
best
to
handle
others
like
in
the
future,
I
think,
will
be
helpful
for
providing
guidance
to
us
and
to
event
organizers
and
vendors
in
order
to
ensure
a
safe
and
pleasant
environment
for
all
citizens
of
our
community
events.
We
have
to
develop
recommendations
for
handling
any
situations
like
this
exclusion
of
moshava.
For
future
events,
we
must
not
and
should
not
tolerate
organizations
or
individuals
who
threaten
our
ability
to
celebrate
our
city's
diversity
or
to
maintain
our
position
as
an
inviting
and
welcoming
place
to
live
work
and
raise
a
family.
E
H
B
Councilman
thomas
offers
two
bills
and
two
resolutions
entitled
an
ordinance.
Many
title
12
in
the
philadelphia
code
and
title
traffic
code
to
require
the
maintenance
and
reporting
of
certain
information
related
to
vehicle
stops
and
making
certain
technical
changes
and
an
ordinance.
Many
powder
12
as
a
philosophy,
code
and
tele
traffic
code
to
clarify
the
appropriate
methods
and
circumstances
of
enforcement
of
traffic
violations.
A
B
And
a
resolution
authorizing
the
philippine
redevelopment
authority
to
execute
and
deliver
to
the
philippine
land
bank.
These
conveying
titles
are
certain
properties
located
in
the
first
councilmanic
district.
Mr
president,
cutscene
school
would
like
to
be
recognized
for
a
motion
on
this
resolution.
Cheer.

B
A
Mr
decker,
that
concludes
the
education
resolution
by
the
members,
and
there
are
no
reports
from
committee
today.
So
we
will
move
to
our
next
order
of
business.
Is
the
consideration
of
the
council
that
make
no
bills
on
the
first
year
encounter?
She
recognizes

M
A
It
has
been
moved

that

accounts
will
be

to

Consider

please
indicate
by

When
we
consider
the

to

then
the

chair
now
recognizes
councilwoman
parker.
One
motion
concerning
the
bills
on
the
second
reading
and
final
passage.
M
A
A
A
A
Public
comment
must

matters
on
the

final

possible

on
any
of
those
matters
must
sign
up.
In
order
to
testify,
you
must
call
215
686
3406
by
3
pm
the
day
before
the

to
sign

for
public
comment.
When
you
call
we
will
take
your
name
phone
number,
the
number
of
the
legislative
item
you
are
commenting
on
and
whether
you
are
in
support
of
or
against
the
legislation,
add
your
name
to
the
list.
A
We
will
telephone
each
person
on
the
list
during
the
council
session
and
invite
them
to
our
remote
meeting.
We
will
have
because
of
the
length
of
the
and
the
volume
of
individuals
we
want
to
have
two
minutes
today.
Also,
please
adjust
your
testimony
to
reflect
that
two-minute
timeline
in
order
to
be
fair
for
all
those
wishing
to
speak
to,
I
intend
to
hold
faithfully
to
the
established
time
limit
and
once
invited
to
the
meeting
and
you're
asked
to
begin.
Your
testimony
entirely
will
be
started.
A
We
will
monitor
your
remaining
time
throughout
your
testimony
and
when
there
are
30
seconds
remaining
through
your
time.
We
will
remind
you
of
this
and
once
your
a
lot
of
time
has
passed,
you
will
be
asked
to
conclude
your
remarks

you'll
be
muted
and
disconnected
from
the
remote
meeting.
A
So
please
be
aware
that
this
public
meeting
is
being
recorded
and
because
the
meeting
is
public,
participants
and
viewers
have
no
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy.
So,
by
continuing
to
be
in
the
meeting
you
are
consenting
to
being
recorded.
I
will
now
ask
the
chief
clerk
how
to
please
read
the
name
of
our
first
speaker.
B
L
The
director
of
government
affairs
for
the
pennsylvania,
restaurant
and
lodging
association
we
represent
about
347
members
in
philadelphia
and
a
total
of
about
2736
members
throughout
the
state.
I'm
here
to
comment
on
council
member
kenyatta
johnson's
bill
number
210-421,
which,
after
the
amendments
adopted
last
week,
would
mandate
increased
wages
for
employees
at
the
philadelphia
international
airport
for
concessions
and
restaurants
in
january
of
2022,
and
would
require
our
operators
to
pay
a
health
and
wellness
supplement
to
employees
by
july
of
23..
L
The
impact
of
coven
the
clover
19
pandemic
has
has
obviously
devastated
restaurants
and
many
other
businesses
throughout
the
state
and
city
of
philadelphia.
This
effect
has
arguably
been
the
worst
for
our
operators
at
the
airport
due
to
mitigation
efforts
that
have
significantly
decreased
travel.
More
than
80
percent
of
our
operators
tell
us
that
their
profit
margin
is
is
lower
than
before
the
coronavirus
outbreak,
while
profits
are
obviously
down.
Something
that
most
do
not
consider
is
that
costs
are
higher
than
ever
due
to
backlog,
complications
and
supply
chain
and
manufacturing.
L
The
industry
now
faces
new
challenges
like
finding
people
to
work.
Travel
obviously
declined
significantly
during
the
pandemic,
and
while
we
have
seen
a
spike
this
summer,
we
know,
according
to
the
experts
that
have
testified
in
front
of
this
council,
that
corporate
travel
has
undeniably
decreased
and
has
remained
stagnant.
L
That
being
said,
the
association
appreciates
council
member
johnson's
efforts
to
work
with
us
and
with
our
members
to
address
the
concerns
that
they
have
with
this
legislation.
Council,
member
johnson
and
this
council
took
the
time
to
speak
with
us,
meet
with
us
and
has
undeniably
answered
dozens
of
our
questions
and
questions
from
our
members.
L
While
no
piece
of
legislation
is
perfect,
prla
appreciates
councilman
johnson's
consideration
of
how
long
it
will
take
for
the
industry
to
recover.
He
made
changes
to
the
bill
to
allow
time
for
commerce
at
the
airport
to
return,
and
so
that
steps
could
be
taken
to
increase
cash
flow
for
our
operator.
G
Good
morning
on
count,
so
I
just
want
to
speak
on
bill
210
474..
I
believe
this
bill
is
a
community
killer
of
the
developers
trying
to
build
115
market
rate
apartments
in
our
middle.
Our
neighborhood
and
he's
using
this
hype
bonus
that
you
are
giving
out
to
developers
height
bonus
of
seven
feet
to
make
it
into
a
buy
right,
which
removes
the
community
process.
Okay.
This
is
not
fair
to
us
and
everything.
At
this
particular
point.
G
The
affordable
housing
is
really
deceitful:
okay,
you're
only
getting
10
or
20
percent,
but
yet,
when
you
have
these
other
bills
and
council
president,
I
really
have
to
say
you're
saving
your
community,
but
you
have
denied
0.3
since
2013..
Why?
Because
in
your
neighborhood,
you
have
buildings,
that's
like
208
at
13,
north
broad
street
unit,
160
355
units
a
second
in
spring
garden,
23
story,
394
units,
okay,
and
all
of
these
want
to
do
pay
in
lieu
councilwoman
sanchez.
That
is
not
a
good
idea.
Of
course.
G
Developers
would
pay
because
they
could
keep
their
buildings
exclusive,
non-minority
and
upscale
okay,
it
needs
to
be
a
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
bill
and
with
the
majority
minority
council,
we
should
be
able
to
get
that
and
it
should
be
a
community
process.
You
should
not
give
away
someone
a
high
bonus
that
takes
away
the
community
process.
G
That
is
not
fair
to
us
and
I
just
want
to
say
at
this
particular
point
that
I
hope
that
you
would
sit
down
with
us
and
and
talk
with
us
before
you
do
that
this
is
going
to
hurt
a
lot
of
communities
and,
besides
that,
the
10
that
you're
giving
or
20
affordable
housing.
What
about
the
other
80
at
1600
and
up
that's
going
to
increase
area
rents
and
push
out
a
lot
of
people
in
this
neighborhood?
G
So
we're
saying
I'm
sorry,
I'm
saying
to
you
that
we
ask
you
to
put
this
bill
on
hold
and
come
back
to
the
community
and
have
a
community
meeting.
Secondly,
I'm
asking
you
to
insert
the
mass
mandate:
it's
not
fair
for
people
to
have
to
go
to
the
supermarket
and
have
people
breathe
on
their
food
and
not
wear
a
mask.
You
have
seniors
who
have
pre-existing
consistent
conditions
and
cannot
get
this
vaccine
and
you
need
to
protect
the
government's
will
protect
everybody,
not
just
a
few
people
who
take
on
the
vaccine.
We
have
a
choice.
G
N
Hi,
yes,
yes,
this
is
benjamin
c,
I'm
speaking
on
the
mixed
income.
Housing
bonus
bill
210474.
This
is
our
third
time,
my
third
time,
speaking
on
it.
While
we
understand
the
policy
imperative
for
the
creation
of
horrible
units
within
new
developments,
our
main
concern
about
the
changes
to
this
program
makes
it
seem
that
the
actual
redevelopments
of
properties
you
know
for
multi-family
housing
that
can
support
mixed
income
use
becomes
more
less
feasible
with
this
bill.
If
the
projects
are
more
more
economically
unfeasible,
then
fewer.
N
Units
will
be
tough
overall
when
considering
that
we
need
to
maximize
the
number
of
units
below
market
for
sure
you
know
the
primary
change.
The
program
where
you
know
units
on
the
products
with
under
10
units
would
have,
to
you
know,
contribute
a
bigger
burden
rather
than
projects
above
10
units
seems
completely
backwards
with
me.
Still
and
council
should
really
hold
this
bill
and
release
the
amendment.
N
Trying
to
that
basically
says
that
you
know
about
certain
limit
instead
should
be
required
to
site
on-site
units
because
there's
a
larger
project
precisely
that
have
much
more
profit
margins
available
to
developers
so
that
they
can
make
their
units
more
affordable
and,
besides
the
actual
unit,
account
of
these
units
are
far
more.
That
would
be,
then,
would
be
possible
within
10,
new
10
or
small
unit
buildings.
N
L
Good
morning
my
name
is
hilary
levine
I
serve
as
associate
director
of
american
jewish
committee's
regional
office
in
philadelphia.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
public
comment
today.
Thank
you
to
councilman
dom
for
your
leadership
and
for
introducing
this
resolution
that
is
so
important
to
american
jewish
committee
and
the
jewish
community
at
large.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
kate
esposito.
I
am
here
to
testify
in
support
of
resolution
210591,
I'm
a
member
of
wage
local
pa,
an
alliance
including
power
and
pennsylvania
united,
focused
on
reversing
the
state
pre-empted
power
over
municipalities
rights
to
set
their
own
minimum
wage.
I
want
to
thank
council
member
parker
for
this
resolution,
which
is
in
support
of
representative
kevin
boyle's
house
bill
923
and
reflecting
the
will
of
the
people,
as
evidenced
by
the
overwhelming
passage
of
question
three.
L
L
I
am
confident
the
city
would
pass
a
15
minimum
wage
bill
in
a
philly
minute
if
we
could,
but
the
stranglehold
of
tyranny
that
harrisburg
holds
over
us,
and
other
municipalities
prevents
that
in
this
course
of
cities,
we
should
have
the
right
to
lift
our
workers
up
out
of
poverty,
especially
those
who
had
no
choice
but
to
work
during
the
pandemic
and
most
especially
those
black
and
brown
workers
who
have
been
working
for
poverty
wages
for
far
too
long.
So
I
urge
you
to
send
this
message
to
harrisburg.
L
Hi,
my
name
is
maya,
stallings
and
I'm
just
assigned
for
dr
shirelle
barber,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
dr
shirelle
barber
is
an
amazing
woman.
I've
gotten
the
opportunity
to
know
her
in
many
different
capacities
in
the
last
year.
Before
I
arrived
at
drexel
university,
I
took
time
to
research,
the
professors
at
the
school
of
public
health,
and
I
knew
that
she
was
someone
that
I
had
to
meet
because
of
the
many
research
and
professional
achievements
that
are
mentioned
on
this.
G
Resolution
but,
most
importantly
because
she
was
a
black
epidemiologist
doing
exactly
what
I
wanted
to
do
as
an
epidemiologist,
and
I
never
knew
a
black
epidemiologist
before
I
met
her
through
an
email.
I
was
able
to
connect
with
her
and
I
was
able
to
join
her
cohort
and
context
team.
As
a
as
a
graduate
assistant,
I
quickly
learned
that
words
do
not
do
her
justice
as
she's,
even
more
amazing
when
you
meet
her
in
person
or
because.
G
Professor,
but
as
an
academic,
professor
and
a
mentor
as
well,
who
would
even
call
if
I
was
going
through
a
rough
time.
So
this
resolution
is
so
well
deserved
because
she
has
someone
the
community
can
count
on
to
advocate
for
them.
With
the
bluetooth
center
on
racism,
global
movements
and
population
equity.
She
will
provide
a
home
for
all
equity
work
in
philadelphia
and
will
hopefully
finally
achieve
her
goal
and
getting
the
city
of
philadelphia
to
declare.
L
G
G
A
life
lived
so
full
of
service
and
dedication
deserves
a
remembrance
just
as
remarkable
for
many
in
the
community,
including
myself.
She
was
a
mentor,
a
friend
and
an
inspiration.
I
grew
up
in
the
oakland
section
of
philadelphia
and
I'm
pleased
and
humbled
to
continue
to
own
a
business
and
work
there.
All
thanks
to
mr
anita
cruz.
Mrs
cruz
was
known
around
the
city
of
philadelphia,
not
just
as
a
penultimate
professional
but
as
a
community
leader
and
activist
the
sentinel.
The
new
business
corridor
would
not
be
the
same.
G
Had
ms
cruz
not
been
the
president
of
the
stenton
avenue
business
association
and
the
relationship
she
formed
over
the
years
with
philadelphia
leadership,
including
councilwoman
cherelle
parker,
helped
to
organize
and
maintain
the
economic
growth
of
the
businesses
of
that
area.
Ms
cruz
was
well
known
in
the
optometry
community
as
a
pioneer
having
been
one
of
only
a
handful
of
women,
optician
business
owners
and
the
first
one
in
our
section
of
philadelphia.
G
She
carried
with
her
a
wealth
of
optical
knowledge
that,
unfortunately,
is
gone
with
her
people
would
often
come
in
and
say
I
was
told
there
was
a
lady
here
that
could
fix
these
glasses
that
no
one
else
could
fix
and
they
would
be
right
when
miss
crude
sold
the
business.
To
me
the
very
first
week
she
walked
with
me
to
each
and
every
neighborhood
business,
to
introduce
me
to
all
the
other
business
owner
owners.
That's
just
the
kind
of
person
she
was
a
mentor
not
just
to
myself,
but
to
all
in
the
community.
G
She
would
donate
glasses,
not
just
locally
for
those
in
me,
but
around
the
globe.
Many
in
the
community
have
said
she
helped
raise
them
right
there
at
the
business
of
stenton
avenue
and
johnson
street,
miss
venita
cruz
continued
to
work
at
the
business,
even
after
the
exchange
of
ownership,
not
only
as
my
mentor
but
because,
as
she
said,
this
is
where
I
belong.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
city
council
and
her
memory
will
live
on
with
this
dedication,
as
will
the
impact
of
her
life
and
service.

G

Okay,
good
morning,
council
president
council
members,
my
name
is
bonita
cummings
and
I'm
commenting
on
the
budget
operating
budget.
Three
one
zero,
two
one
zero
three,
two
two!
It
is
difficult
to
speak
in
a
few
seconds
comprehensively,
but
I
will
do
my
best.
Two
points
I
want
to
make
is
one
decimation
of
african-american
hurricane's
wealth
and
two
abusive
nonprofits
neighborhood
preservation,
practices
and
programs
and
resources
like
the
housing
trust
fund,
the
land
bank,
l
and
I
nti
all
the
banks.
Tax
credits,
planning
and
zoning
have
primarily
benefited
white
men
and
women
and
other
non-african
americans.
G
These
practices
appear
to
be
a
resolution,
but
they
were
brought
to
the
council
body
by
the
usual
suspect
and
has
been
the
progenitor
of
the
destination
of
african-american
inheritance.
Well,
due
to
the
taking
of
their
land
and
property,
there
has
been
major
irrevocable
harm:
creating
generational
poverty
of
inheritance
wealth
for
years
to
come,
for
african-american
families
in
philadelphia,
african-americans
lose
their
land
and
property,
and
if
all
was
fair,
they
would
have
been
given
the
same
support
to
be
the
developers
of
their
properties
instead
of
instead
they
lose
everything.
G
Words
make
it
to
paper,
but
they
don't
necessarily
have
the
action
needed
to
ensure
the
quality
equality
and
share
the
wealth
that
your
laws,
plans,
ideas
or
budgets
speak
about.
So
please
know
that
this
continued
unaccountable
path
will
leave
the
african-americans
behind
and
what
our
children
will
witness
is
continued
inequality,
no
inheritance
wealth
and
poverty,
no
matter
how
educated
they
are
what's
more
affordable
than
what
you
already
own.
G
So
as
you
consider
passing
your
budget
for
affordable
or
low-income
housing
or
neighborhood
preservation
projects,
please
consider
that
one
person
harmed
by
losing
their
inheritance
wealth
is
paramount
to
a
lynching
which
we
all
should
know
the
history
of
how
african
african-americans
suffer.
More
accountability
is
needed
for
non-profits.
They
are
swelling
the
budget
of
government
with
conditions
that
are
not
improving.
G
A
B
H
I
would
like
to
thank
councilwoman
sherrell
parker
for
introducing
this
resolution
for
miss
marian
johnson
has
been
the
g.o.a.t
of
logan
for
over
44
years,
greatest
of
all
times
to
many
of
us
residing
logan.
She
is
officially
known
as
the
mayor
of
logan,
because
our
quality
life
issues
often
fall
to
her
to
resolve.
H
I
first
I
first
met
miss
johnson
on
the
early
saturday
morning
during
the
summer
of
1986..
At
that
time
I
noticed
her
painting
the
wall
of
barrett
playground.
Building
she
was
alone,
did
not
make
a
fuss
about
going
about
the
business
and
making
the
playground
presentable.
So
our
children
could
have
a
clean,
safe
place
to
play
her
action.
H
That
day,
also
inspired
me
to
get
busy
about
the
dependence
of
community
activism,
including
her
many
accomplishments
to
logan
residents,
are
her
co-chairing
the
naming
committee
to
name
third
girl,
marshall,
elementary
school,
the
co-chair
of
the
logan
army
coalition
and
member
of
the
barrett
recreation
center's
advisory
council
and
recently
a
key
force
in
the
rebuilding
of
the
recreation
center.
There
are
many
of
accomplishment,
but
my
time
is
running
out,
so
I
could
be
here
all
morning
and
talk
about
what
ms
johnson
has
done
for
us.
G
Good
morning,
good
morning,
my
name
is
sonia
songhai.
I
am
here
to
speak
on
resolution
210593,
which
adds
vanita
crews
to
the
street
signs
on
the
7300
block
of
stinson
avenue,
in
recognition
of
her
lifelong
service
to
others
and
her
advocacy
in
the
optometry
field.
I
would
like
to
thank
councilwoman
cherelle
parker
for
introducing
this
resolution.
G
If
you
did
not
see
it
in
her
store,
venita
cruz
would
research
worldwide
to
find
what
you
her
valued
customer
wanted.
Her
service
to
the
community
was
seamless
and
professional
from
beginning
to
the
end.
Venita
crews
was
dependable
and
always
kept
her
worried.
We
are
excited
and
looking
forward
to
seeing
vanita
cruz's
name
added
to
the
street
signage.
G
G
L
G
G
Rudolph
and
marion
johnson,
five
daughters
me
debbie
patsy
brenda,
linda
and
grandmother
kelly
white
moved
to
the
logan
community
in
1971,
upon
settling
in
our
new
home
and
community.
It
was
not
long
before
my
mother
became
acquainted
with
his
neighbors
and
began
her
journey
to
work
for
the
betterment
of
the
neighborhood
between
being
our
mother
job
family.
G
Unselfishly
took
on
the
issues
of
the
community
to
ensure
that
we
had
a
decent
environment
to
grow
and
prosper.
Her
tireless
sacrifice
to
a
biological
family
and
her
community
family
families
is
what
drives
each
of
her
family
members
today
to
assist
others
in
need.
Since
I
was
given
two
minutes
to
speak,
I
end
by
saying
on
behalf
of
our
family,
I
am
honored
with
the
privilege
of
thanking
each
of
you
for
considering
naming
the
intersection
of
ace
and
duncan
the
ninth
and
duncan
street
to
marion
johnson
way.
Thank
you.
N
L
I'm
calling
to
express
our
support
for
the
renters
access
act
and
I'm
calling
on
behalf
of
our
clients,
those
living
in
homeless,
shelters
or
on
the
street,
who
don't
need
to
be
living
in
shelter
or
on
the
street,
and
who
this
bill
will
help.
Many
of
these
folks
even
have
vouchers,
but
still
can't
find
a
place
to
live.
Why
would
that
be
because
at
some
point
in
time
a
landlord
filed
for
eviction
against
them,
and
so
now,
when
they
apply
for
housing,
even
with
a
voucher,
their
applications
are
routinely
denied.
L
In
fact,
I'm
working
with
a
client
right
now,
a
vet
who
lives
at
the
vet,
shelter
on
17th
street.
He
has
the
money
to
pay
for
a
security
deposit.
He
has
a
voucher,
but
he
can't
find
a
place
just
last
week
he
found
a
place
he
loved
and
the
landlord
said.
No.
After
looking
at
his
eviction
record,
there
was
only
one
filing
against
him.
A
default
judgment
entered
while
he
was
at
the
va
hospital
in
coatesville
he'd.
Be
a
great
tenant
today,
but
he
was
denied
solely
for
that
reason.

make
a
lemonade.
Look
on
the
bright
shrut.
Sure
optimism
is
cool,
but
have
you?
How
do
you
expect
me
to
be
optimistic?
After
losing
four
years
of
my
life
to
a
system
that
failed
me?
I
sat
there
in
the
dim
basement
room
with
an
assortment
of
chairs
placed
on
the
family
called
the
carpet
of
the
pa
municipal
courtrooms.
G
I
sat
in
one
of
the
green
chairs
because
I
was
hoping
green
would
give
me
more
luck
than
I
experienced
in
the
last
year
out
of
169
charges
raising
from
felonies
in
the
first
degree
to
mr,
neither
than
the
third
that
were
filed
against
me
for
a
crime.
I
was
cohort
into
participating
in
through
my
abusive
ex-boyfriend
at
the
time
that
one
misdemeanor
set
my
family
back
another
200
years.
I
graduated
college,
I'm
a
first
generation
college
student.
I
got
a
good
job
in
finance.
I
saved
my
money
invested.
G
My
money
got
a
nice
apartment
volunteer
in
my
community
fed
the
homeless.
I
even
saved
babies
from
burning
homes.
I
did
everything
right.
You
would
think
we
would
have
a
judicial
system
that
would
have
domestic
violence
advocates
in
that
courtroom.
Partitioning,
during
my
sentencing
I
mean
I
am
a
first-time
offender
receiving
the
same
punishment
as
a
repeated
offender
already
on
probation
for
the
same
crime.
We
were
in
court
for
so
I
lost
my
job,
my
invested
money,
my
nice
department
and
my
respect
in
my
community.
G
Perfect,
you
sprinkle
little
court
probation
fees,
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
in
college
debt,
you
mix
in
the
inability
to
get
a
stable
job
and
you
have
poverty
pie.
African-Americans
are
five
times
more
likely
to
be
incarcerated
than
white.
So
I'm
calling
you
out,
I'm
calling
out
all
white
men
who
control
the
laws,
the
narrative
and
the
fate
of
black
people
to
check
your
privilege.
Our
judicial
system
is
a
part
of
a
bigger
ploy
to
keep
white
men
wealthy
and
black
people
impoverished,
because
turning
the
cheek
makes
you
a
part
of
the
problem.
Sorry
not
sorry!
L
L
Thank
you,
council,
member
brooks
for
inviting
me
to
testify
today
and
for
your
time
the
other
day
during
our
change,
narrative,
fellowship
listening
to
your
story
was
inspiring
and
empowering,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
times
that
you
spent
with
us.
The
collective
strengths
of
women
is
inspiring
and
a
transformative
asset.
L
Our
our
lived
experiences
are
an
asset
to
any
organization,
and
I
just
feel
like
the
more
you
give
women
like
me,
an
opportunity,
the
better
that
we
can
all
grow
together
and
really
enact
the
change
that's
needed.
I
appreciate
the
time
to
speak
and
again,
council
member
brooks.
I
really
appreciated
your
time.
L
G
A
N
A
Sir
yeah,
it's
just
that
we're
not
yeah
you're
garbled,
we're
not
hearing
it.
We
want
to
hear
you.
Can
you
forward
your
testimony
and
we
can
make
sure
it's
a
matter
of
record?
Is
it
weird
yeah?
This
is
absolutely
yourself
yeah.
This
is
we'll
make
sure
that
it's
a
part
of
our
work
for
today's
public
common
sense.
A
G
Good
morning
my
name
is
charles
patton
and
I'm
a
cook
at
the
philadelphia
international
airport
at
bar
simon.
I've
worked
for
pce
at
the
airport
for
about
eight
years.
Pce
is
a
food
service
company
that
has
multiple
concession
stands
at
the
airport.
I've
worked
in
the
food
service
industry
for
21
years,
some
of
the
other
places.
I've
worked
include
chick-fil-a
at
the
airport
and
boston
market
around
around
13
years
being
in
the
industry.
For
so
long,
I
can
tell
you
that
our
health
care,
we
need
better
health
care.
G
When
I
was
at
boston
market,
I
had
health
care
and
it
was
good.
During
that
time
I
had
an
outpatient
surgery
and
my
healthcare
coverage
had
left
me
with
a
bill
of
over
two
thousand
dollars.
On
top
of
that,
my
premium
was
already
high.
My
bills
were
piling
up
and
I
needed
a
second
job.
I
got
hired
at
chick-fil-a,
my
very
first
job
at
the
airport
in
2007
and,
to
my
surprise,
the
company
didn't
offer
any
insurance
at
that
location.
G
My
mother's
health
started
to
decline
in
2009
and
even
more
fields
and
stress
begin
to
pile
up.
I
left
off
the
market
and
picked
up
the
second
job,
which
is
pce
at
the
airport.
At
that
time,
ppe
did
have
insurance,
but
I
couldn't
afford
it.
The
premium
was
too
high.
The
deductible
was
five
thousand
dollars.
There
was
no
way
in
the
world.
I
was
going
to
be
able
to
afford
that
now
because
of
my
union.
I
have
options
for
better
options
for
health
care.
I
currently
have
coverage
with
pce,
but
it
could
still
be
better.
G
I've
spent
over
20
years
looking
for
decent
coverage
at
work,
but,
to
be
honest,
my
co-workers
and
I
at
the
airport
deserve
free
health
care.
We
have
faith
and
continue
to
face
all
kinds
of
safety
issues
due
to
the
pandemic.
Some
of
my
workers
co-workers
have
gotten
so
big
19
over
and
our
health
matters.
G
If
I
was
receiving
free
medical
care,
I
could
save
more
money
and
I
wouldn't
experience
so
much
financial
burden.
I
have
co-workers
who
have
to
decide
between
their
medical
care
and
paying
their
rent.
People
shouldn't
have
to
choose
between
these
basic
human
necessities,
and
these
decisions
are
being
made
at
the
airport
every
day.
So
please,
city
council,
pass
this
bill.
G
Testimony
morning
my
name
is
tiana
richardson.
I
am
a
security
guard
employed
by
ally
university
at
the
philadelphia
international
airport.
I'm
here
speaking
on
bill
210-421,
I
am
asking
that
the
city
council
passed
the
prevalent
wage
expansion.
This
bill
helps
low-income
working
families
with
health
care,
health
care
and
financial
issues.
Faced
on
the
deli,
as
we
know,
health
insurance
is
expensive
and
we
should
be
able
to
take
care
of
our
families.
G
I'm
sorry.
We
should
be
able
to
take
care
of
our
health
to
continue
to
work
with
no
issues.
I
recently
caught
cold
it
and
had
to
choose
health
care
over
the
pro
over
providing
food
for
my
family.
If
we
were
to
receive
this
raise,
we
could
provide
for
our
families
and
make
ends
meet
to
live
our
everyday
lives
as
taking
care
of
our
health
and
family
is
very
important.
B
L
My
name
is
antenna
spoken.
Thank
you.
I
worked
with
scotcher.
I've
been
working
with
scotia
for
the
past
seven
years
we
cater
to
the
airline.
The
health
care
offered
by
the
company
is
very
expensive,
which
I
cannot
and
or
likewise
my
other
co-workers,
who
are
not
also
of
able
can
afford
the
insurance.
L
L
I
pray
I
pay
over
400
dollars
a
month
for
my
insurance
and
my
style.
We
we
got
to
do
something
about
this
about
this.
A
lot
of
my
co-workers
cannot
afford
the
insurance
because
did
because
of
the
cost
we
made.
We
made
billions
of
dollars
for
the
complaint
and
why
are
we
tweeting?
Why
are
we
treated
this
way
and
therefore,
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues.
L
K
L
A
L
L
L
L
Securing
the
building
with
over
100
million
dollars
worth
of
merchandise,
airplanes
and
for
us
to
sit
here
and
get
paid
less
than
minimum
wage
is
crazy
and
also
I'm
a
diabetic
and
type
2
diabetic
and
I
have
to
come
out
of
my
pocket
every
other
month
to
pay
for
my
medicine,
like
I
got
to
choose
between
my
medicine
and
my
health
or
paying
bills
going
food
shopping,
or
anything
like
that.
I
shouldn't
have
to
do
that
and
I
feel
like
if
we
get
this
bill
passed
for
the
minimum
wage
and
health
insurance.
B
N
L
L
Mr
president,
members
of
the
philadelphia
city
council,
and
especially
council
member
kenyatta,
johnson
who's,
the
primary
sponsor
of
bill,
210
42
1a,
the
prevailing
wage
expansion,
the
frontline
workers
at
the
philadelphia
airport,
who
served
american
airlines
and
other
carriers
during
the
pandemic,
whose
hands
built
this
industry's
recovery
need
a
recovery
plan
too.
The
majority
of
workers
are
african
american
and
immigrant
workers
who
live
in
philadelphia's
working
class
and
working
poor
neighborhoods.
L
They
face
this
disproportionate
hardship
during
the
pandemic.
Hundreds
of
these
workers
at
the
airport
lost
their
jobs.
Those
who
continue
working
risked
the
grave
exposure
to
covet
19
and
the
overwhelming
majority
of
them
who
worked
without
they
worked
without
private
health
insurance,
since
the
plans
offered
were
too
expensive
for
these
low-wage
workers
to
afford
these
same
workers
now
have
gone
over
a
year
without
a
raise.
L
The
raises
contemplated
in
this
bill
are
step
are
in
step
with
policies
enacted
by
airports
across
the
country,
while
american
has
received
billions
in
bailout
money
with
more
on
the
way.
Only
action
of
the
philadelphia
city
council
can
secure
a
future
for
workers
and
their
families
at
the
airport.
We
urge
all
of
council
to
join
us
and
not
delay
in
passing
this
bill
and
ensuring
that
airport
workers
who
endured
the
worst
of
the
pandemic
share
in
the
airline's
recoveries.

Thank
you,
council
president.
I
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
those
co-sponsors
council
members,
dottier
enid
thomas,
for
their
commitment
to
housing,
justice
and
to
the
number
of
organizations
renters
and
advocates
who
have
tirelessly
pushed
this
legislation
forward.
As
a
woman
who
has
struggled
firsthand
with
housing
and
security
is
meaningful
to
me
to
have
introduced
the
rental
access
act,
would
reform
the
application
and
screening
process
to
increase
transparency
and
accountability
and
decrease
discrimination
and
discrimination
which
disproportionately
impacts
working
class,
black
women
and
their
families.
D
I
commend
this
council
body
for
shared
commitment
to
increasing
access
to
stable
housing
for
all
philadelphians
and
address
their
systems
of
inequalities.
This
year
we
have
been
setting
nationwide
precedence
for
women
protections
and
I
am
increasingly
incredibly
proud
to
be
leading
with
you
all.
Thank
you.
So
much
council
president.

President
evan,
brief
comments.
I
wanted
to
make
before
this
vote.
You
know
in
2015
I
came
into
this
council
body
with
the
intent
of
bringing
some
of
my
experience,
of
building
a
successful
business
from
the
ground
up
in
philadelphia
and
to
use
that
knowledge
to
help
philadelphia,
address,
intractable
issues
of
poverty
and
its
related
issues.
For
six
years,
I've
watched
our
spending
climb
by
over
one
billion
dollars
with
really
no
meaningful
results
of
the
very
issues
we
all
care
about:
underfunded,
schools,
poverty,
hunger
and
violence.
E
It
seems
what
we're
doing
over
and
over
again
is
not
really
working
for
the
past
two
months.
I've
said
that
the
american
recovery
plan
presented
a
moment
in
time
an
opportunity
to
change
the
trajectory
of
our
city
a
moment
to
show
the
world
that
philadelphia
was
open
for
business
and
would
deliver
on
this
promise
by
making
our
business
and
wage
taxes
competitive
with
cities
regionally
and
across
the
us.
E
I
called
for
a
long-term
vision,
real
long-term
business
and
wage
tax
reductions
that
would
set
a
new
tone
and
a
new
pathway
for
philadelphia
to
change
its
ways.
Thank
you
to
council
president.
Thank
you.
This
body
led
the
way
and
commissioned
a
study
which
concluded
that
the
reductions
in
these
taxes
would
create
between
50
and
100
000
families
sustaining
jobs
over
the
next
10
years,
and
yet
my
call
to
reduce
our
business
and
wage
taxes
to
become
more
competitive
was
rejected.
E
We're
watching
jobs,
slip
away
to
our
suburbs
and
other
cities,
we're
ranked
26
on
economic
growth
among
the
largest
cities
and
while
other
major
cities
in
america
are
creating
these
family,
sustaining
jobs
that
pay
thirty
five
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year,
we're
creating
low
wage
jobs
below
thirty
five
thousand,
and
why
it's?
Because
companies
with
family,
sustaining
jobs
are
not
coming
here
because
of
the
taxes
and
the
burden
of
the
net
income
tax
and
our
quality
of
life
issues.
E
E
We
have
the
information
and
data
we
need
already
to
make
different
decisions
about
our
tax
system.
We
have
studied
and
studied
and
studied,
and
the
studies
tell
us
that
we
need
to
know
what
we
already
know.
We
have
previous
tax
reform
commissions
that
have
made
recommendations.
We
just
keep
ignoring
the
recommendations.
E
The
net
income
tax
is
the
leading
cause
of
our
lack
of
good
family
sustaining
jobs.
Here
we
cannot
ignore
this
issue
another
year.
We
need
to
fix
this
in
the
fall
of
2021.
We
cannot
and
should
not
stand
and
watch
jobs
grow
outside
of
philadelphia
when
the
decisions
we
make
here
could
change
that
story.
E
I
look
forward
to
the
work
ahead
this
summer
and
I
asked
this
body
in
the
fall
work
together
to
make
us
competitive,
so
we
can
grow
family
jobs
here
that
pay
thirty
five
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
I
wholeheartedly
believe
that
a
job
opportunity
is
the
best
program
we
can
fund
to
turn
this
city
around.
It's
the
one
investment
that
can
make
a
real
difference
in
the
lives
of
our
residents.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank
you
thanks.
Man.

I
want
to
thank
my

for
supporting
resolution.
In
particular
council
members,
johnson
and
gilmore
richardson.
We
have
been
working
with
the
mayor's
office
on
sustainability.
I
filled
out
the
gas
works
and
gas
commission
on
a
sustainability
study
that
was
funded
by
the
bloomberg
americas,
climate
change

and
we're.
Coming
to
the
conclusion
of
that
study.
I
want
to
give
us
perspective
on
how
we
look
to
possible
perspectives
on

J
This
is
the
opportune

have
the
study
completed,
as
many

I'm
in
dc
a
possible
resolution
to
the
idea
of
an
american
jobs
plan
from

which
will
give
us
some
much-needed
dollars
and
revenue
infrastructure
and
we're
already
starting
to
have
that
conversation
within
the
philadelphia
gas
works
and
how
we
can
use
some
of
the
information
from
this
study
to
help
us
prioritize
initiatives.
We
can
take
advantage
of
the

opportunity

for
philadelphia.

Kenneth
frazier
is
an

and
also
has
been
a
leader
in
helping
to
do
so.
Many
things
coming
from
north
philadelphia
as
well
as
graduating
from
the
penn

university,
and
he
has
been
a
a

leader
as
a

on
rising
through
the
ranks
as
a
a
lawyer
in

and
then
becoming

then
becoming

He's
been
profiled
a
smith
playground
as
one
of
the
leaders
coming
from
north
philadelphia
that
has
been
memorialized
earlier
this
year
and
he's
really
been
an
inspiration
to
african-american
lawyers
and
all
lawyers,
as
well
as
those
in
the
private
sector
through
his
phenomenal
career,
and
demonstrates
what
someone
young
black
boy
from
north
philadelphia
can
accomplish,
not
only
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
but
on
the
world
stage.
He's
been
a
phenomenal
inspiration
for
so
many
of
us
through
the
years,
and
with
that
I
moved
for
the
adoption
of

D
Thank
you
so
much
council
president.
I
want
to
say
a
few
words
about
the
budget.
Last
year.
I
voted
against
the
budget
because
it
failed
to
significantly
address
the
concerns
that
we
were
hearing
from
constituents
as
protests
erupted
across
the
city
and
across
the
world.
In
response
to
police
violence
and
systemic
racism.
D
I
felt
that
we
came
short
in
delivering
on
what
working
class
people
black
and
brown
people
and
philadelphians,
who
have
been
for
so
long,
failed
by
the
status
quo,
what
they
were
demanding
and
in
this
year's
budget.
I
see
many
of
the
same
issues.
The
rage,
the
devastation
and
pain
is
still
there.
It's
just
quieter.
D
It's
not
in
the
streets,
but
in
the
homes
of
our
community
members
who
lost
loved
ones
as
a
result
of
contracting
covet
19
at
their
low
wage
jobs
is
exist
in
the
hearts
of
parents
who
are
mourning
children
whose
lives
were
stolen
by
gun.
Violence
is
in
the
lives
of
working-class
people
who
still
haven't
been
able
to
recover
from
the
financial
losses
of
the
pandemic.
D
What's
the
difference
in
this
year's
budget,
is
we
have
the
resources
to
address
this
pain
with
the
historic
influx
of
funds
that
our
city
is
receiving
from
the
american
rescue
plan?
We
have
a
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity
to
use
those
dollars
to
make
deep
investments
in
the
communities
who
are
struggling
the
most,
but
instead
of
meeting
with
this
bold
level
of
funding
with
the
equally
funding.
D
D
I
recognize
that
I
am
just
as
accountable
to
this
amended
budget,
as
my
colleagues
are,
and
I
recognize
the
hard
work
that
each
of
us
has
put
into
this
process
and
while
I
may
be
disappointed
with
aspects
of
it,
I
want
to
make
good
faith
effort
in
engaging
with
my
colleagues
and
continue
to
work
towards
transformative,
long-lasting
solutions
to
enough
to
the
numerous
crisis
facing
our
city.
Today.
D
We
share
many
of
the
same
values,
but
have
different
ideas
of
how
to
get
there.
So
today
I
voted
yes
in
favor
of
those
shared
values,
many
of
which
are
reflected
in
the
amended
budget,
I'm
voting
in
favor
of
robust
eviction,
prevention
funding
and
the
expansion
of
non-police
first
responders
and
the
enforcement
of
labor
laws
for
our
most
vulnerable
workers.
D
I'm
voting
in
favor
of
our
collective
ability
not
only
to
act
on
our
values
through
budgetary
process,
but
through
community
programming
and
ground
breaking
legislation
like
the
renter
protection
we
passed
today
together,
along
with
working
class
philadelphians,
we
showed
up
in
masses
to
make
our
voices
heard
during
the
budget.
Proceedings
and
movement
groups
have
fought
tirelessly
against
tax
cuts.
That
would
benefit
wealthy
suburbanites
and
ceos,
and
I
believe
we
will
continue
to
make
strides
towards
a
more
equitable
and
just
philadelphia
with
this
vote.
D
L
A
H
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
I
want
to
start
by
saying
thank
you
to
reverend
kathy
for
her
phenomenal
prayer
this
morning
to
close
out.
Hopefully
what
will
be?
What
is
our
final
session
will
hopefully
be
a
start
to
a
great
summer.
I
think
that
she,
she
hopefully
got
us
off
to
a
good
start,
and
thank
you
reverend
kathy.
I
appreciate
it
today.
H
For
those
who
don't
know
back
in
october,
I
introduced
legislation
to
essentially
address
the
motor
vehicle
code,
and
when
we
introduced
that
legislation
back
in
october,
we
introduced
it
from
the
perspective
of
being
a
legislator
and
looking
to
put
ourselves
in
a
position
to
address
what
we
know
to
be
a
civil
rights
issue,
not
just
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
but
all
across
the
country.
All
of
us
have
seen
the
videos
we
know
the
stories
and
I'm
sure
that
some
of
my
colleagues
on
council
first
hand
like
myself,
have
witnessed
and
been
victims
too.
H
Some
of
the
things
that
happen
when
you're
unjustly
stopped
and
put
in
a
position
where
your
civil
rights
are
violated
simply
because
you're
operating
a
motor
vehicle,
quoting
maybe
there's
a
small
infraction,
but
often
there
isn't.
So
when
we
introduced
the
bill
in
october,
the
idea
would
again
was
to
address
the
issue
and,
throughout
the
course
of
the
process
of
negotiating
with
the
executive
branch
of
government
with
the
legal
department,
as
well
as
with
various
stakeholders
who
are
passionate
about
this
issue.
H
It
put
us
in
a
position
where
we
felt
like
the
most
effective
way
to
be
able
to
do
this
work
to
be
able
to
address
the
civil
rights
crisis
that
we
have
not
just
in
philadelphia,
but
all
across
the
country
was
to
do
it
from
a
collaborative
perspective.
When
we
talk
about
it
being
a
civil
rights
issue,
I
know
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
necessarily
agree
with
that.
H
Looking
at
these
stops
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
approximately
over,
not
approximately
I
apologize
over
90
of
these
vehicle
stops,
do
not
result
in
anything,
no
contraband
being
found,
no
weapons
being
found,
sometimes
not
even
a
ticket
being
given
to
the
person
who
was
officially
pulled
over,
and
so
when.
We
think
about
the
best
way
to
address
this
issue,
and
we
think
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
put
ourselves
in
a
position
to
minimize
some
of
these
interactions.
H
Without
that
enforcement
of
resulting
in
a
actual
traffic,
stop,
I'm
extremely
excited
to
be
able
to
introduce
this
ordinance
today,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
partners
and
stakeholders
who
are
involved
in
this
process.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
staff,
who
spent
months
working
and
in
negotiation
with
a
number
of
different
partners
to
put
us
in
a
position
where
we
have
this.
Hopefully
historic
legislation
that
we
see
today.
H
So
I'm
going
to
say
thank
you,
council
president,
for
allowing
me
the
time
to
be
able
to
talk
about
what
I
feel
like
is
a
historic
piece
of
legislation.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
stakeholders
who
took
the
time
over
the
last
several
months
to
put
us
in
a
position
of
to
to
to
be
where
we
are
right
now.
H
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues
on
council
who
decided
to
co-sponsor
this
bill
as
well
as
those
who
provided
advice,
resources,
suggestions
and
recommendations
to
help
put
me
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
hopefully
start
the
conversation
as
it
relates
to
solutions
to
what
we
know.
It's
not
just
a
civil
rights
issue,
but
a
national
catastrophe.
Thank
you,
council
president.
F
Thank
you,
council,
president
and
good
afternoon.
Everyone.
The
most
significant
thing
to
me
about
the
budget
we
just
passed,
is
that
it
represents
a
victory
for
everyone
in
the
fight
to
end
gun
violence.
Here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
there
is
no
more
urgent
priority
than
addressing
this
violence,
both
for
people
living
in
the
neighborhoods,
where
it's
a
daily
occurrence
and
for
the
health
of
our
city
as
a
whole.
F
Having
to
be
hyper
vigilant
every
time
you
leave
home
feeling
afraid
to
let
your
kids
play
outside
feeling
trapped
in
your
home.
This
is
trauma.
No
one
should
have
to
live
like
this,
but
black
and
brown
neighborhoods
have
been
struggling
through
this
violence
for
years
now.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
advocates.
F
The
council
president
and
my
council,
colleagues,
who
work
shoulder
to
shoulder
to
make
these
historic
investments
happen.
In
this
budget
we
won
major
new
funding,
68
million
dollars
for
programs
and
services
that
will
stabilize
neighborhoods,
prevent
violence,
improve
families,
lives
and
address
the
trauma
that
has
been
circulating
through
our
communities.
For
far
too
long.
F
F
20
million
dollars
in
additional
funding
will
be
going
to
these
groups.
That's
a
tenfold
increase
in
the
amount
we're
distributing
through
targeted
community
investment
grants
and
that's
huge
at
the
same
time.
Whether
or
not
we
will
look
back
from
this
moment
as
a
turning
point
in
our
fight
against
gun.
Violence
depends
on
the
way
that
we
put
these
investments
into
action.
F
F
F
F
In
this
moment,
when
so
many
philadelphians
are
still
struggling,
I
cannot
endure
sacrificing
revenue
in
this
way,
but
every
budget
is
the
project
of
a
negotiation
and
overall,
I
think
we've
landed
on
a
budget
that
reflects
how
dire
of
a
crisis
gun
violence
has
become
in
our
city
and
now
that
it's
passed,
our
work
turns
to
implementation
and
ensuring
that
this
money
gets
spent
appropriately
so
to
the
residents
in
neighborhoods
that
have
been
terrorized
by
gun
violence
for
far
too
long.
I
want
to
say
help
is
on
the
way.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
I
Thank
you
so
much
council
president.
Like
my
colleagues,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
hard
work
that
went
into
this
budget.
It
represents
an
unprecedented
level
of
collaboration,
commitment
and
single-mindedness
around
critical
issues
that
define
what
not
just
an
economic
recovery
needs
to
look
like
in
our
city,
but
true
prosperity
for
all
and
I'm
honored
to
be
part
of
a
council
body
that
has
been
so
deeply
committed
to
the
critical
issue
of
ending
gun.
I
Most
of
all
they
weighed
in
about
the
importance
and
love
of
schools
of
family
community
and
their
own
hopes
and
dreams.
One
of
our
young
people
said
to
us:
invest
in
our
humanity.
Are
we
have
a
right
to
dream
and
your
policies
must
support
that.
We
heard
you
and
we
are
working
harder
than
ever
to
meet
that
expectation.
I
Sometimes
we
fall
short,
but
we
have,
in
this
body,
shown
more
commitment
than
ever
to
meeting
the
expectations
of
those
who
deserve
so
much
better
and
though
we
approved
this
budget
today.
I
think,
as
my
colleagues
mentioned
earlier,
the
most
important
thing
is
is
that
this
is
the
beginning
that
the
determination
on
how
exactly
funds
will
be
used
is
an
ongoing
process
for
all
of
us.
That
includes
expanding
supports
for
our
small
business
recovery,
ensuring
that
anti-violence
funds
gets
to
the
community
and
organizing
groups
that
are
actually
doing
the
work.
I
Restoring
services
to
poor
institutions
like
our
recreation,
centers
parks
and
libraries
and
promising
those
young
people,
especially
in
the
zip
codes,
most
impacted
and
harmed
by
violence
and
and
poverty
that
they
have
a
guarantee
that
there
is
a
promise
waiting
for
them
from
us
to
all
of
those
who
engage
so
deeply.
We
appreciate
you
so
much
and
we
will
need
your
continued
engagement
throughout
this
year.
I
That
is
why
I
think
it's
so
critically
important
that
we
continue
to
talk
about
the
impact
of
this
budget
of
taxation
and
the
importance
of
us
evolving.
The
conversations
about
taxes.
Again,
it
is
important
to
remember
that
the
budget
that
we
pass
still
has
to
make
up
for
a
shortfall
that
was
projected
to
be
450
million
dollars.
There
continues
to
be
shortfalls
in
each
and
every
single
year
of
the
five-year
plan
and
those
are
only
plugged
by
federal
relief
funds.
I
That
number
could
turn
out
to
be
lower,
but
it
could
also
be
higher
it's
impossible
to
predict
all
the
longer
term
ways
in
which
our
tax
base
could
be
changing
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
Right
now
we
have
massive
budget
holes
and
what
we
need
is
to
also
get
help
to
those
who
are
struggling
the
most.
I
Equity
does
not
mean
giving
everyone
the
same
modest
amount,
equity
means
giving
the
most
to
those
who
have
been
hurt
the
most,
and
there
are
some
in
our
city
who
have
actually
done
well
this
year,
maybe
even
made
significant
profits.
Others
have
been
absolutely
devastated
and
most
are
just
holding
their
heads
above
water.
Our
city
residents
have
also
had
vastly
different
impacts.
Some
are
able
to
work
from
home
and
even
gained
income,
but
others
have
suffered
tremendous
losses
in
income
and
health
and
the
trauma
of
violence
that
has
disproportionately
harmed
only
some
of
our
neighborhoods.
I
We
remain
the
highest
poverty,
big
city
in
the
nation.
After
two
decades
of
pursuing
tax
cuts,
we
cannot
cut
our
way
to
prosperity
and,
in
the
meantime,
knowledge
and
trends
about
municipal
finance,
taxations
and
subsidies
has
evolved
since
the
formation
of
the
last
tax
commission
back
in
2009
as
our
economic
world
is
also
changing
rapidly
city
services
matter
to
our
residents.
More
than
ever
clean
streets,
vibrant
economic
corridors
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
modern
school
facilities
and
thus
a
growing
body
of
research
is
changing.
I
I
I
want
to
thank
the
council,
president
and
the
mayor
for
taking
steps
to
collaborate
on
an
effort
for
a
new
tax
working
group
with
a
diverse
set
of
experts
that
reflect
the
diverse
needs
of
our
city
and
not
just
merely
recycling
the
same
theories
of
the
past.
I
look
forward
to
a
collaborative
and
open
process
to
engage
in
meaningful
conversation
and
analysis
and,
finally,
just
to
close
out
this.
This
you
know
year
that's
been
extraordinary
on
many
different
levels.
I
I
want
to
express
gratitude
to
the
entire
city
council
staff
to
all
those
who
labored
in
our
in
our
our
tech
department
to
michael
decker
and
his
team
to
kalia,
and
so
many
who
made
sure
that
there
was
a
vibrant
engaged
and
and
attentive
set
of
people
who
just
kept
pushing
all
the
way
through
this
and
and
made
this
body
be
what
it
can
be.
Thank
you
very
much
council
president.
C
The
disconnect
between
our
communities
and
our
budgets
are
real
and,
while
we're
receiving
1.4
billion
from
the
buying
administration,
we
know
that
there's
a
lot
more
to
come,
and
so
we
have
to
ask
ourselves:
how
are
those
dollars
going
to
be
spent?
We
have
to
stay
focused
on
the
resources
at
all
times
to
ensure
that
they
are
not
wasted.
C
Some
health
care
providers
like
temple
hospital
rank
high
in
terms
of
being
most
inclusive,
others,
not
so
good.
What
is
clear
from
this
report
and
our
ongoing
calls
to
our
our
ongoing
cause
to
appoint
dr
stanford
as
health
commissioner,
is
that
we
need
someone
on
the
ground
to
fix
these
inequities
now
right
now.
C
How
much
are
we
spending
on
this
search
anyway,
and
I
would
say
whether
it's
one
dollar
or
one
million
dollars
it's
too
much
when
we
know
that
we
have
a
highly
qualified
physician
that
undoubtedly
save
lives
right
here
at
the
ready
ready
to
jump
into
action.
There
can
be
no
doubt
that
philadelphia's
death
toll
would
have
been
significantly
higher,
had
she
not
sprung
into
it
sprung
into
action,
and
so
I
asked
mayor
kenny.
What
is
the
holdup?
C
So
you
know
if,
if
cleanliness
is,
is
not
an
issue
or
if
cleanliness
is
an
issue,
it's
not
an
issue,
for
you
know,
closing
down
restaurants
and
citing
these
particular
types
of
restaurants,
and
also
the
alcohol
sales
that
are
allowed
are
questionable.
So
if
you
can
sell
bottles
of
malt
liquor
in
a
small
bottle
which
look
like
alcohol,
but
because
they
say
malt
liquor,
you
can
still
purchase
those
items,
and
I
say
all
of
this
to
say
that
we
need
a
health
commissioner
at
the
ready
we
have.
C
You
know,
listen
I've
spoken
with
our
acting
health.
Commissioner
she's.
You
know
great
and
a
wonderful
individual,
but
we
need
to
appoint,
I
believe,
dr
stanford,
to
this
position
right
away
so
that
we
can
get
down
to
some
of
these
disparities
that
exist
in
our
community.
We
need
to
do
it.
We
need
to
do
it
right
away
and
we
need
a
health
commissioner
at
the
ready.
So
as
we
continue
to
make
these
rounds
with
the
health
department
with
illinois,
it
is
glaringly
clear
that
these
businesses
only
operate
in
certain
neighborhoods.
C
They
only
operate
by
a
certain
business
model
and
they
do
not
operate
in
a
way
that
constitutes
a
restaurant
license.
There's
a
whole
lot
more,
I
could
say
on
this
issue,
but
we
will
be
bringing
out
our
findings
from
our
tour
shortly.
Mr
president,
we'll
be
issuing
a
report
from
my
office
that
displays
some
of
the
glaring
issues
that
we
see
in
these
establishments
that
operate
in
most
cases
with
only
a
microwave
did.
C
A

K

Regarding
the
repaving
and
redesign
of
washington
avenue
and
again,
that's
a
meeting
at
gateshead
banquet
hall,
23rd,
schneider,
avenue,
6
p.m,
I'm
hosted
by
otis
the
office
of
transportation,
infrastructure
and
sustainability,
and
the
meeting
will
be
in
regards
to
the
repaving
and
redesigning
of
washington
avenue.
It's
also
hosted
by
the
point
breeze
development
coalition.
K
I'm
also
council
president
next
wednesday,
on
june,
the
30th
we
will
be
hosting
our
peace,
not
guns,
call
to
action
event
at
wharton
square
park
located
at
23rd
and
wharton
streets,
and
that
will
begin
at
6
p.m.
And
again
it's
our
peace,
not
guns,
call
to
action
at
wharton
square
park
located
at
23rd
and
wharton
streets
and
begins
at
6,
00
pm
well,
first
and
foremost,
council
president,
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues.
K
I
want
to
thank
for
all
of
the
colleagues
that
have
signed
on
to
the
letter
advocating
for
the
100
million
dollars
in
front
of
me
from
the
administration,
which
I
believe
created
a
paradigm
shift
in
how
we
address
and
make
a
priority
here
in
city
council,
the
issue
of
senseless
gun
violence.
I
want
to
thank
you,
council,
president,
for
your
marathon
herculean
negotiation
back
and
forth
day
in
and
day
out
regarding
this
budget
process.
K
K
I
mean
at
one
point
in
time
there
was
not
an
office
of
violence
prevention
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
through
some
advocacy,
that's
working
in
city
council.
Thus
we
have
a
new
office
of
victims
at
office
of
victims,
office
of
violence
prevention.
At
one
particular
point
in
time.
We
didn't
have
cuny-based
target
grants
provided
to
community
groups
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
and
so
through
the
work
that
we
have
consistently
done
as
a
body.
K
We
have
shown
time
and
time
again
that
we
will
rise
to
the
occasion
based
upon
the
issues
and
concerns
in
which
our
constituents
are
asking
for
it.
So
I
just
want
to
commend
you,
but
also
this
body
as
a
whole
and
collectively
state
representative,
regina
young,
always
like
to
say
that
teamwork
makes
the
dream
work.
K
We
will
continue
to
work
in
partnership
with
american
airlines
who
continue
to
work
in
partnership
with
those
small
businesses
at
the
philadelphia
international
airport
that
that
that
provide
businesses
to
those
who
are
catering
to
philadelphia
national
airport,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
particular
vote
was
picking
people
over
profits.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
you
have
workers
who
work
day
in
and
day
out
on
the
front
line
through
the
pandemic,
some
have
lost
family
members.
K
So
again,
thank
you,
council,
president
to
the
tech
staff.
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
come
back,
hopefully
in
the
fall,
do
the
zoom
type
microsoft
teams
situations,
so
we
just
thank
them
for
getting
us
through
this
pandemic,
and
I
hope
everybody
enjoyed
this
summer
and
god
bless
with
another
good
council
session.
Take
care
council
president.
A
Thank
you
councilman,
and
thank
you
for
your
your
personal
and
business
passionate
consistency
around
this
gun
violence
issue.
I
know,
while
it
is
a
part
of
your
job,
it's
a
part
of
your
heart.
I
mean
if
this
is
about
this
is
about
what
you
are,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
just
keeping
on
pushing
and
being
willing
to
talk
to
anybody
about
this
issue
and
make
sure
that
we
get
this
done.
A
J
Those
are
stories
that
I
know
those
are
families
that
we
know,
and
so
that's
why,
when
my
colleagues
as
councilman
remember
johnson,
spoke
about
when
we
make
these
issues
important,
they're
very
personal,
to
us,
there
really
are
personal
issues
and
that's
why
we
got
elected
and
that's
why
we
do
the
work
that
we
do
so
I
I
also
want
to
thank
you,
council
president
clark,
this.
This
was
a
very
challenging
time
and
many
of
us
were
pulling
at
you
in
many
many
different
directions.
J
Sitting
at
the
table,
making
the
sausage
sometimes
isn't
pretty
obtaining
fairness.
It
depends
on
whose
lenses
you're
looking
through
and
so
not
everybody.
When
we
talk
about
equitable
inclusion,
accessible
process,
it
doesn't
mean
the
same
thing
to
all
of
us
and
we
learned
that
during
covet,
and
so
I
look
forward
as
we
move
forward.
J
It's
definitely
a
paradigm
shift.
So,
thank
you,
council
president,
and
to
all
the
staff
who
worked
behind
the
scenes
to
put
all
of
this
stuff
together,
particularly
our
tech
folks.
I
think
next
budget
will
be
easier,
we'll
be
right
in
front
of
each
other.
I
find
it
much
much
more
productive
to
be
sitting
across
the
table
from
folks,
and
I
must
say
I
miss
the
colleagues
and
I
miss
all
of
the
interactions
that
take
place
as
we
do
the
work
that
we
do
every
single
day
serving
the
citizens
of
philadelphia.
J
A
A
A
Just
shows
that
this
is
the
place
where
you
will
have
real
input
and
want
to
thank
the
members
for
their
continued
due
diligence-
and
I
know
I
say
this
up
here
at
the
end
of
every
session-
about
how
this
is
the
best
council
that
I've
ever
worked
with,
and
I'm
going
to
continue
to
say
it
throughout
the
process.
But
the
reality
is,
you
won't
put
that
work
in
put
that
work
in
and
we
came
out
with
some
very
challenging
times
last
year.
A
A
You
know
people's
inability
to
even
go
out
of
their
household,
so
we
just
come
forward.
We
work
through
it.
It
continues
to
be
a
challenge,
but
we've
made
a
lot
of
progress,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
thank
all
of
them
I
do
want
to,
like
other
individuals,
want
to
thank
the
staff,
all
of
you
on
staff
for
their
hard
work.
I
want
to
thank
the
administration,
rob
and
melissa
those
negotiations.
A
Those
herculean
negotiations
had
to
have
somebody
on
the
other
side
of
the
table,
so
robin
and
marissa,
and
I
want
to
thank
protein
congratulator,
found
mcdonald
his
first
time
out
the
army
patel
for
her
first
time

has
been
an
experience

we
had
a
somewhat
positive
outcome.
Did
we
do
everything
for
everybody?
Absolutely
not.

want
to
thank
one
individual
in
particular,
