The

recognizes
councilman
Thomas
I'd,
like
to
make
a
brief
statement.
D
Good
morning,
council,
president
good
morning,
colleagues
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
a
special
guest.
That's
in
the
back
in
December,
December
and
June
of
this
year.
We
recognize
this
young
man
as
the
youngest
author
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
He
considers
himself
a
kid
kid
preneur
right.
D
He
has
a
book
that
I'm
blessed
enough
to
have
with
me.
That's
called
I
can
read
so
I
can
read
he's
also
a
friend
of
council
member
Johnson
as
well,
so
he
probably
has
some
South
Philadelphia
relationships.
Can
we
all
give
a
round
of
applause
to
Mr
asyl
Greer
I
still
can.
D
I
still

champion

because
of
scheduling,
we
couldn't
get
him

so
we
want
to
welcome

hope

his
work
inspires
the

follow
their
dream

use
their
talent
for
the
greater
good

A
A
Thank
you
very
much
councilman
before
we
go
to
our
public
comment
session.
I
want
to
take
a
point
of
personal
privilege.
I
would
like
to
have
a
moment
of
silence
for
a
person
that
was
known
for
their
public
comment,
both
in
and
out
of
office.
So
so
I'd
like
to
ask
for
us
to
have
a
moment
of
silence
for
all
of
our
friends,
good
friend,
brother
T,
Milton

former
Senator
former
Advocate
person,
who
actually
invented
advocacy
in
the
modern
world.
Can
we
please
have
a
moment
of
silence?
Please
members,
please
stand.
A
So
we
will
now
move
to
our
public
comment
session
so
before
considering
these
resolutions,
I
want
to
say
a
couple
of
things
with
respect
to
your
public
comment.
It
must
concern
matters
on
the
second
reading
and
final
passes
calendar
today.
All
speakers
must
sign
up
in
order
to
testify.
If
you
have
not
already
signed
up
for
your
today
session.
A
Please
now
do
so
by
giving
your
name
to
the
sergeant
arms
at
the
table
set
up
outside
the
chambers
in
the
hallway,
once
you
have
signed
up,
you
will
be
called
in
order
of
which
your
name
appears
on
the
sign
up
sheet
and
under
ideal
circumstances.
What
we
have
today,
you
will
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
A
In
order
to
be
fair,
though,
we
want
to
ensure
that
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
speak,
so
we
intend
to
hold
Faithfully
to
the
established
time
limit.
When
you
begin
speaking,
you
will
see
a
green
light
on
the
podium
and
when
they're
30
seconds
remaining
to
your
time,
the
light
on
the
podium
will
turn
yellow
and
when
it
turns
red,
we
ask
that
you
please
comply
with
our
guidelines
and
conclude
your
remarks.
We
also
reserve
the
right
pursuing
to
our
rules
of
counsel,
to
limit
repetitious
comments
on
the
same
subject
matter.
K
C
K
On
mayor
Jim,
Kitty
and
city
council
to
increase
Arts
funding
in
the
2023
City
budget,
using
our
diverse,
passionate
voice,
we
spoke
to
how
increased
Public
Funding
would
allow
the
Philadelphia
cultural
fund
to
maximize
its
impact
on
our
neighborhoods.
We
also
spoke
to
the
necessity
of
the
city
living
up
to
its
responsibility
of
supporting
city-owned,
Arts
and
Cultural
institutions,
especially
those
that
reside
in
and
serve
black
and
brown
communities
in
the
proposed
2022
mid-year
transfer,
mayor,
Kenny
and
city
council
have
done
exactly
that
by
appropriating
more
than
20
million
dollars
for
arts
and
culture.
K
This
is
unprecedented,
and
so
today,
I
come
before
you
to
Simply
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
investing
in
arts
and
culture
as
the
invaluable
asset.
It
is
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
arts
and
culture
as
an
essential
economic
driver.
Thank
you
for
recognizing
the
power
of
our
Collective
voice.
With
this
mid-year
transfer.
K
The
Philadelphia
cultural
fund
is
now
slated
to
be
funded
at
5.5
million,
benefiting
hundreds
of
Arts
organizations
across
the
city
and
ensuring
and
ensuring
critical
Equity
within
the
Arts
City
institutions,
including
the
African-American
museum
in
Philadelphia,
the
Mann
Center
mural
Arts
Philadelphia
Please
Touch
Museum
in
the
Dell
will
receive
infusions
of
significant
support
and
Visionary
projects
like
Calder
Gardens
will
be
heralded
with
further
support
in
the
mid-year
transfer.
The
cultural
Alliance
has
always
believed
that
the
Arts
in
Philadelphia
are
undervalued
and
under
leveraged
asset
that
deserve
investment.
L
L
Yet,
in
spite
of
this
movement
and
evolution,
we
remain
steadfast
about
our
mission.
That
has
remained
unchanged.
Public
art
has
the
power
to
inspire
and
ignite
change.
This
is
why
I'm
so
excited
to
be
here
today
with
my
esteemed
colleagues
from
the
Arts
okay
to
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
investing
in
mural
Arts.
With
this
additional
investment,
we
will
expand
the
work
of
the
guild,
a
paid
apprenticeship
program
that
gives
Justice
impacted
young
people
18
to
26.
L
the
opportunity
to
develop
marketable
job
skills
and
reconnect
with
their
communities
and
our
restorative
justice
program.
We
work
at
SCI,
Phoenix,
the
county
jail
and
with
people
coming
home,
as
well
as
those
on
probation.
We
have
a
guild
program,
a
women's
reentry
program
and
the
foundational
Guild
program.
We
serve
150
young
people
a
year
and
we
have
an
astonishingly
low
recidivism
rate
of
eight
percent.
Yes,
these
invaluable
funds
will
help
us
continue
our
Advanced
skilled
program
and
will
allow
us
to
build
our
program
out.
L
So
we
can
teach
additional
skills,
certifications
and
continue
to
prepare
young
people,
so
they
can
take
these
skills
that
they're
learning
at
mural
Arts
to
jobs
with
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
far
beyond.
There
is
genius
everywhere
it's
our
job
to
find
it
and
channel
it.
I'd
like
to
thank
councilman
Thomas
for
his
vision,
leadership
and
support
of
this
important
work.
Additionally,
additionally,
we're
so
excited
to
start
two
new
public
art
projects
at
The,
Chew
playground
and
the
Martin
Luther
King.
L
Rec
Center,
thank
you
to
council
president
Clark
and
council
member
Johnson
for
the
opportunity
to
create
beautiful
public
spaces
that
will
activate
communities
represent
people
through
public
art
for
many
years
to
come.
These
will
be
beacons
and
closing
I
want
you
to
know.
We
never
ever
take
the
support
from
the
city
and
city
council
for
granted.
I
am
grateful
to
each
and
every
one
of
the
members
of
city,
council
and
mayor
Kenny
for
this
support.
You
inherently
and
I
mean
this
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
L
You
inherently
understand
the
catalytic
power
of
Art
and
beauty,
and
that
is
huge.
Please
know:
We
Stand,
By
Your
Side
in
service
ready
to
create
ready
to
partner
ready
to
respond.
I
am
confident
that
together
we
will
continue
to
ignite
change
and
make
our
city
more
beautiful,
more
resilient,
more
hopeful
for
years
to
come.
Thank
you.
A
M
You
know
I
first
step
foot
in
this
chamber
nearly
a
decade
ago,
I
was
living
in
West
Philly
at
the
time
and
working
as
an
assistant
downtown
in
the
tourism
and
hospitality
industry.
If
you
had
told
me,
then
that
I
would
build
a
career
and
develop
myself
from
an
assistant
to
a
top
leader
in
my
field
through
tourism
and
Hospitality.
I
wouldn't
have
believed
you,
but
it
happened
to
me
and
it's
happened
to
countless
other
Philadelphia
residents
whose
livelihoods
are
currently
supported
by
tourism
and
hospitality.
M
In
fact,
in
every
single
Council
District,
more
than
6
000
Philadelphia
residents
worked
in
our
industry,
pre-pandemic
accounting
for
more
than
10
percent
of
jobs
held
by
residents
and
every
Council
District.
Now
that
data
is
so
significant
that
data
shows
us
that
it
doesn't
take
one
to
see
a
hotel
in
your
neighborhood
to
know
that,
like
me,
one
in
ten
of
your
neighbors
are
likely
supported
by
tourism.
Hospitality,
the
temp,
pandemic's
blood
or
industry
has
been
significant,
but
through
Partnerships
with
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
others,
Philadelphia's
Hospitality
sector
has
actually
gone
from
being
down.
M
62
percent
of
jobs
lost
to
13
percent
today,
while
that
may
sound
impressive,
we're
still
10
000
jobs,
short
and
importantly,
the
jobs
that
we
have
recovered
still
require
constant,
visitor
spending
and
support
to
remain
viable.
You
know
at
visit,
Philadelphia
research
shows
that
there's
still
potential
to
recover
and
grow
our
visitation
to
restore
robust
demand.
M
District
I
want
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
council
member
Catherine,
Gilmer
Richardson
for
your
continued
vision
and
support
council
member
O'neill
and
to
every
member
of
council,
because
each
of
your
offices
have
worked
with
us
in
different
ways
and
supported
us
during
what
has
been
the
most
difficult
time
for
the
tourism
hospitality
industry
over
the
past
two
years.
We
are
so
grateful
for
this
critical
investment.
M
We
will
continue
to
forge
Innovative
research,
driven
marketing
initiatives
to
support
diverse
markets,
including
black
and
brown
latinx,
Asian,
arts
and
culture
attractions,
commercial
corridors
and
connect
job
Seekers
with
Incredible
careers
and
livelihoods
in
the
hospitality
sector.
Thank
you
so
very
much.
A
N
Good
morning,
obona
Higgins
youth
curfews
may
be
looked
at
as
a
solution
by
this
body,
but
it
will
not
make
Headway
in
reducing
youth
crime
and
violence.
N
The
causes
of
Youth
violence
is
the
structural
characteristics
of
the
American
economy,
racism
and
the
pathology
of
white
supremacy.
Asking
each
household
with
children
to
lock
their
doors
at
a
prescribed
time
is
ignoring
the
structural
sources
of
Youth
violence.
Is
there
a
political
and
public
interest
in
our
youth
getting
murdered
during
the
day
rather
than
at
night?
There
are
substantial
differences
in
living
arrangements
of
children
by
race
and
ethnicity.
N
Most
white
and
Asians
Asian
children
are
raised
by
two
married
parents,
72
and
82
percent
respectively.
55
of
Latino
children
are
raised
by
two
parents,
but
in
sharp
contrast,
only
31
percent
of
Afro-American
children
are
raised
by
two
parents.
More
than
half
are
being
raised
by
a
single
parent.
That's,
according
to
the
Pew
2015
research.
N
N
Anyone
who
has
read
the
newspapers
in
the
past
10
years
knows
that
stop
and
frisk
is
a
fugitive
slave
law
and
it
is
unconstitutional,
and
yet
these
are
the
solutions.
This
body
is
offering
Dr
King
said
only
when
it's
dark
enough.
Can
you
see
the
stars?
We,
as
people
have
seen
and
conquered
bigger
obstacles.
We
must
rise
up
and
be
more
strategic
with
our
actions.
N
We
must
simultaneously
engage
an
inside
fight
against
hopelessness
and
an
outside
fight
by
forces
that
block
access
to
opportunities,
Philly
youth,
having
analienable
right
to
be
governed
by
competent
policy.
They
have
an
inalienable
right
not
to
be
subjected
to
Old,
Antiquated,
races
and
Prejudice.
Solutions
I
know
you
don't
want
to,
but
it's
time
to
develop
a
stomach
for
empowering
the
Afro-American
communities.
In
real
terms,
nothing
else
will
decrease
violence.

We

a
Womanhood

demonstrated
every

by
not
only
our

we
show
each

in
supporting
all

You

It
shows
the
bond

We

we
appreciate
everything
that
you
do
in

Philadelphia.
Making

A
S
Good
morning
my
name
is
Peter.
Winslow
I
speak
to
you
today.
First
of
all,
I'm
a
Philadelphia
resident
and
I
speak
to
you
today
as
president
of
the
smart
collaboration
LLC
and
as
a
candidate
that
city
council
recommended
to
Mayor
Kenny
for
appointment
to
the
initial
board
of
directors
of
the
Philadelphia
public,
Financial,
Authority,
special
greetings
and
welcome
to
the
new
members
of
council.
S
Thank
you,
president
Clark
and
members
of
council
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
today
and
opposition
to
the
transfer
ordinance
bill.
Number
220869.
S
I
joined
with
the
previous
speakers
and
celebrating
the
collaboration
that
exists.
The
warm
ongoing
collaboration
that
exists
between
city
council
and
the
active
citizens
in
this
community
I
also
applaud
and
thank
the
council
member
Jones
and
the
Appropriations
Committee
for
the
things
that
are
in
the
transfer
ordinance
the
support
for
the
mural
arts
program
and
for
Performing
Arts
and
for
tourism.
All
things
that
I
support
as
well.
S
The
refusal
of
Mayor
Kenny
to
implement
the
ordinance
that
you
passed
and
became
law
ordinance
number
two:
one:
zero:
nine:
five:
six
to
form
the
Philadelphia
public
Financial
Authority
that
refusal
the
refusal
to
honor
his
oath
of
office
to.
S
Engage
in
a
dialogue
about
the
issues
you
know,
all
these
things
are
very
disappointing
and
it'd
also
be
disappointing.
If
city
council
were
just
to
walk
away
and
ignore
the
law
that
is
put
on
the
books
and
the
existence
of
this
opportunity
to
improve
the
city,
so
I
urge
that
you
make
an
amendment
to
this
bill
and
that
the
amendment
be
to
allocate
one
dollar.
So
it's
not
about
the
amount.
It's
a
matter
of
principle.
S
T
Thank
you
Council
for
listening
today.
My
name
is
Ebony
Gardner
Clinical
Director
of
one
day
at
a
time,
I
asked
you
today
to
tune
into
this
moment
of
reflection.
Rule
AIDS
day
is
an
opportunity
to
slow
down
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
routine
and
pay
specific
remembrance
of
where
we
have
come
from
and
where
we're
going.
Today
is
a
celebration.
T
We
have
prep
for
high-risk
negatives,
life-sustaining
medication,
for
individuals
who
tested
positive
for
HIV,
access
to
services
for
low
or
no
income.
Individuals
we
no
longer
have
to
see
our
family
and
friends
suffer
World
AIDS
day
helps
us
to
remember
why
we
have
come
a
long
way.
We
have
further
to
go
our
leaders
at
the
AIDS
activities
coordinator
office,
help
providers
in
the
city
and
Tri-State
like
one
day
at
a
time
to
forge
a
path
to
ending
the
epidemic
here
in
the
city.
T
On
this
day
and
every
day,
we
must
continue
to
be
intentional
about
our
services
and
care
and
education
for
minority
women.
Men
who
have
sex
with
men
and
persons
who
use
intravenous
drugs,
as
the
numbers
here
are
still
growing
in
these
communities.
Our
four
pillars
of
focused
are
diagnosed
treat
prevent
respond,
diagnose
in
all
philadelphians,
with
HIV
as
early
as
possible,
treating
people
with
HIV
quickly
and
effectively
preventing
new
transmissions
by
promoting
prep,
n-pep
and
syringe
services
and
responding
quickly
to
HIV
outbreaks.
T
We
may
have
won
some
battles,
but
not
the
war.
Our
small
team
at
Odette
has
collectively
over
30
years
in
field,
educating
interns,
staff,
clients
that
come
in
and
out
of
our
doors.
We
have
been
trained
in
multiple
evidence-based
practices.
We
continue
to
evolve
and
meet
our
community
here
today
is
cerilda
Jones
one
of
our
staff
here,
to
give
a
little
testimony
of
hers.
U
In
their
prospective
places,
I'm
cerilda
Jones
I'm,
one
of
the
neutral
testers
at
one
day
at
a
time
and
I
continue
to
be
an
advocate
for
the
people
that
have
no
support
system
that
actually
still
dealing
with
the
adversity
and
the
the
different
things
that's
going
on
with
the
HIV
people
are
still
continuing
to
contract.
I
also
came
across
a
couple
of
new
positives
and
the
stigma
that
they're
dealing
with
not
having
the
family
and
friends
and
the
support.
U
So
here,
I
am
at
worth
one
day
at
a
time,
I'm
the
support
system,
their
Advocate
and
I,
pretty
much
encourage
them
and
try
to
help
them
with
their
viral
and
continue
on
helping
the
community.
With
this
fight,
I
have
one
I,
don't
know:
yeah
excuse
me
young
man
that
I've
been
working
with,
and
he
wanted
to
pretty
much
tell
if
you
don't
mind
me
saying
your
story.
U
He
is
one
that
I
found
as
a
new
person
that
just
maybe
a
week
ago,
and
it
was
such
a
devastating
thing
that
he
wanted
to
I'm
his
support
system.
He
has
no
family,
no
friends.
So
what
do
we
do
with
the
people
that
are
still
struggling
with
this
stigma?
Struggling
with
oh
I?
Don't
want
you
eating
off
my
Fork
I.
Don't
want
you
using
my
bathroom
because
of
this,
but
I'm
here,
to
encourage
him
and
to
let
him
know
and
being
empathetic
to
his
well-being.
A
E
Living
with
a
disease
from
where
stairs
no
no
cure,
but
three
three
weeks
ago,
I
was
facing
a
dilemma
where
I
felt
like
I
didn't
want
to
live.
No
more
and
people
reached
out
for
me,
and
especially
with
this
Ebony
and
Mr
Realty,
do
they
work
and
they
program
within
two
weeks
within
two
weeks
turned
my
whole
life
around
me.
Like.
E
I
come
before
y'all,
not
scared
to
admit
my
disease
or
not,
but
I
come
to
y'all
to
admit
the
goodness
in
people's
heart
and
stuff.
That
should
lock
me
and
with
all
that
organization.
It
tremendously
like.
Did
it
390
on
me,
so
I
would
like
to
get
them
get
them
a
praise.
I
mean
really
man
and
if
then,
there's
people
still
out
there
that
they're
living
with
what
I'm
living
with
and
still
in
denial,
we're.
On
the
same
token,
they
ain't
so
so
much
denial
because
they
have
no
support
system
or
nothing.
E
Where
that
this
thing
they
carrying
around
it
can
be
carried
on
to
any
and
everybody.
You
know
and
I,
don't
think
that's
right,
because
I
got
a
conscience,
but
do
they
help
an
effort
in
my
life,
like
I'm,
still
going
oh
I'm
strong
to
God's
eyes
first,
but
here
now
like
I,
don't
have
mother,
father
sister
brother,
nothing!
E
A
W
W
W
So
I
am
here
in
support
of
council
member
bass's
resolution
to
declare
today
December
1st,
as
World
AIDS
day.
It
is
a
reminder
for
many
to
annually
be
checked
to
be
tested
and
to
make
sure
that
they
are
educating
others
about
how
to
remain
safe,
seems
really
simplistic.
It
doesn't
take
much,
but
it
means
a
lot
to
many.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
A

Music
Center
was
built
in
1924,
so
we're
coming
up
on
100
years.
X
This
is
just
a
great
opportunity
for
me
to
say
and
I
won't
call
your
names,
but
I
will
say:
Mr
President,
because
I've
gone
to
a
number
of
you
on
different
occasions
when
we've
needed
money
over
and
over
again
and
you've,
never
said
no
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
those
moments
where
we
were
in
need,
and
you
were
willing
to
say
yes,
I
want
to
say.
X
Thank
you
to
those
of
you
that
said
at
that
appropriation,
I
got
the
call
councilman
Jones
councilwoman
Catherine
Richardson
Gilmore
Richardson,
councilman
Isaiah
Thomas,
those
of
you
that
stood
up
and
said.
We
need
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
call
it,
the
grand
old
lady
is
represented
in
these
numbers.
You
stood
for
us,
we'll
continue
to
stand
for
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia,
because
that's
what
the
Dell
Music
Center
is
about.
It
is
about
Excellence.
X
It
is
about
ensuring
that
we
serve
our
community
and
our
citizens
in
the
best
way
possible,
with
the
best
music
with
the
best
customer
service.
You
know
why,
because
we
represent
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
so
I
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
ensure
that
we
were
included
in
this
appropriation
and
that
we
will
continue
to
be
included.
Thank
you.

of

when

In
addition
to
that,
we
did
meet
with

and
we
wanted
to
make
additional
clarification
around
there
being
no
penalties
for
homeless
youth
who
are
out
after
curfew,
because
many
of
them
need
connection
to

additional

and
also
we
added
reporting

to
the
legislation
that
would

is

would
provide
for

that

I
wanted
to

also
for

who
are

AA
Aye
council
president
I
just
wanted

My
support
of
this
particular
bill
220654
as
one
who's
worked
with
students
in
Philadelphia
understand
the
importance
of
children
not
being
on

street
to
have
a
better
life
and
I
believe
this
bill
increases
their
likelihood
of
success
in
life
and
life.
One
of
the
things
that
I
just
want
to
mention
about
this
bill
is
that
you
know
at
a
time
when
it
seems
there's
no

AB
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president
I
do
have
something
to
say
about
these
transfer
ordinances.
They're,
wonderful
ordinances,
I
know
my
colleagues.
Everybody
here
has
exercised
tremendous
leadership.
There's
a
lot
of
people,
a
lot
of
great
organizations
that
need
this
money,
our
departments
as
well.
However,
I
am
going
to
point
out
something
that
is
very
troubling
to
me
and
I.
I.
AB
Think
I
have
no
other
way
to
express
my
great
concern
than
to
seek
a
motion
that
we
table
the
vote
and
I'm
just
going
to
say
this:
the
great
failure
of
our
city,
a
we
see
in
gun,
violence
and
murder,
wanton
crime,
failure
in
education,
failure
in
jobs,
failure
in
so
many
ways,
but
but
addressing
them
as
we
do
contained
in
this
transfer
ordinance,
is
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
this
body.
AB
Why
those
people
identify
to
us
are
not
being
protected?
Why
they
cannot
be
afforded
an
ability
to
live
without
getting
shot
at
assaulted,
attacked
is,
is
a
a
great
failure.
The
District
Attorney's
office
has
a
function.
It
is
not
to
relocate
these
people,
they
do
relocate
Witnesses,
who
are
going
to
testify,
that
is
a
temporary
location,
put
them
in
a
hotel
put
them
in
a
motel
after
the
trial
is
over.
They
go
back
home.
AB
It
is
just
a
matter
of
time
before
they're
killed
a
year
later
after
another
year
previous
that
they
had
not
been
relocated,
they
are
still
not
moved,
and
then
we
learned
at
a
recent
hearing
that
the
department
that
we
asked
to
be
responsible
for
this
money
to
give
that
money
to
a
non-profit
that
can
move
them
immediately.
Every
murder
is
real,
Emir
and
other
organs
like
that
receive
not
one
penny.
Nobody
has
been
moved.
AB
This
was
since
October
of
2021.
Nobody
has
moved
now.
We
learn
the
money
was
moved
to
a
non-profit
organization,
not
to
move
people,
but
for
various
costs.
The
administration
in
a
letter
says
the
money
is
still
sitting
there,
but
then
they
are
moving
another
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
an
organization,
a
department
of
our
city.
That
says
they
don't
have
an
ability
to
move
people
and
in
fact
they
said
it's
council's
fault
for
giving
us
money
that
we
we
can't
do
things
with
so
now.
AB
The
administration
says
part
of
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
will
be
used
to
hire
people
in
that
office.
That's
not
what
this
money
is
for.
That's
a
million
dollars
and
not
one
person
has
been
moved.
One
of
the
persons
who's
testified
is
23
years
old,
very
well
known
by
council
member
Majority,
Leader,
chair
of
Public
Safety,
Curtis
Jones,
who
has
talked
about
her
and
has
helped
her
and
her
family
she's
23
years
old.
She
has
two
children
riding
in
a
car,
someone
shot
into
the
car
and
she
lost
her
eye.
AB
She
has
headaches,
she
has
pain,
she
can't
function
in
the
morning.
She
takes
her
medication.
She
can't
function
after
that,
a
month
or
two
later,
the
father
of
her
children
was
murdered
and
she
is
harassed
and
attacked
and
she
cannot
receive
protection,
seven
thousand
dollars
she
paid
in
medical
bills
and
beyond
that
she
still
has
medical
bills.
She
has
been
denied
disability.
She
doesn't
have
any
funds,
one
million
dollars,
not
a
penny,
to
help
these
people,
not
a
penny.
AB
To
move
these
people,
the
woman
who
testified
or
who
went
forward
to
the
news
trying
to
keep
her
identity
unknown
was
on
television
in
the
newspaper.
The
neighborhood
knew
who
she
was,
and
it
is
not
surprising.
She
got
a
gun
after
being
beaten
and
shot
at
her
children
running
away
unsafe.
She
got
a
gun
well.
That
gun
was
used
in
two
murders
so
now
she's
in
prison
facing
murder
charges
two
years
of
not
relocating
people,
a
million
dollars.
That
is
a
failure
and
a
letter.
It's
unacceptable
unacceptable.
We
have
a
hearing.
AB
There
was
notice,
you
have
to
come
in.
Let
us
know
what
happened
the
money
where
it
want,
what
what
is
it
being
used
for?
We
get
a
letter,
it's
not
satisfactory!
That
money
must
be
returned.
The
money
must
be
used
to
relocate
these
people
pay
for
their
their
injuries,
their
harm.
That
money
represents.
Our
City's
will
to
address
violent
deadly
retribution
against
innocent
people.
We're
not
built
for
this,
but
we
better
get
built.
AB
My
thing
is:
it
is
unacceptable
to
me
that
this
Administration,
with
the
wonderful
things
it
does
and
all
the
money
it
has-
cannot
tell
us
what
happened
to
500
000.
How
many
times
are
we
going
to
do
this?
It's
two
years,
it's
a
year
move
the
people
put
their
kids
in
school,
don't
put
them
in
a
motel
hotel,
PHL
PHA
Housing,
where
everybody
knows
where
they
are
move
them
to
safety.
Maybe
you
will
find
that
people
will
have
some
confidence
in
our
city
will
be
Witnesses,
we'll
testify
we'll
cooperate.
AB
We
know
who
the
shooters
are.
We
know
who
terrorized
these
people,
they
must
be
apprehended,
they
must
be
prosecuted.
It
is
inexcusable.
It
is
not
anything
but
murder
waiting
to
happen.
This
city
has
to
account
for
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
that.
I
will
make
a
motion
to
table
this
vote.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank.
A
You
need
to
be
on
this
side
of
the
rail
to
do
that.
Sorry,
I
appreciate
your
sentiment,
though.
No
second
councilman
there's
not
a
second,
so
your
motion
of
the
table
is
denied
okay,
Mr
Decker.
Let's
start
again
with
the
title.
G
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
you
know,
I,
think
that
the
councilman
made
some
very
valid
points
and
they
need
to
be
explored,
and
so,
while
there
is
not
a
second
for
the
motion,
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
a
I
think,
a
commitment
from
this
body
to
follow
through
on
the
concerns
that
we
all
have
that
have
just
been
brought
forward
from
councilman.
Oh
under
your
leadership,
so
I
think
that
we
all
want
to
address
this.
G
It
needs
to
be
addressed
right
away,
it's
not
something
that
can
wait,
and
so,
even
though
there
wasn't
a
second
for
the
motion,
the
issue
still
stands
and
needs
to
be
addressed
by
this
body.
A
I
concur
councilwoman.
This
is
clearly
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
She
recognizes
councilman
Thomas.
Thank.
D
D
Not
only
have
we
allocated
money
for
Witnesses
and
witnesses
to
be
relocated
when
we're
putting
on
our
hat
around
this
issue
of
crime
and
violence
in
the
city,
we've
also
allocated
money
for
cameras
that
have
not
been
purchased
that
have
not
been
put
up
and
we're
still
fighting
for
that.
We've
also
allocated
money
for
hit
and
run
technology.
D
Captain
oberwise
and
his
team
came
before
the
Public
Safety
Committee,
as
well
as
the
streets
department
two
years
ago,
when
we
were
in
the
middle
of
a
hit-and-run
epidemic
which
we're
still
a
part
of
right
now
to
act
for
a
certain
type
of
Technology.
Instead
of
continuing
to
use
tape,
measures
and
rulers
and
things
at
that
capacity
in
the
year
2020
and
that's
ridiculous.
D
The
reason
I
bring
those
things
up
because
I
do
agree
with
council
member
Oh's
concern,
but
one
of
the
reasons
I
didn't.
Second,
it
is
because
it's
the
responsibility
of
this
legislative
body
to
put
ourselves
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
make
votes
and
decide
where
funds
should
go
not
to
spend
the
money.
So,
while
I
agree
with
his
concern
that
the
money
needs
to
be
spent
on
the
right
thing,
I
agree
with
his
concern
that
we
need
to
Advocate
and
make
sure
that
we're
fighting
for
those
who
cannot
necessarily
fight
for
themselves.
D
I
agree
with
the
sense
of
urgency
in
a
sense
of
emergency
that
we
need,
as
it
relates
to
the
crime
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We
have
to
continue
to
do
our
job,
to
put
money
in
places
and
in
spaces
that
we
know
will
improve
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
we
have
to
continue
to
and
push
the
administration
to,
spend
the
money.
D
So
I
appreciate
councilmember
old
speech,
I
agree
with
councilmember
bass,
but
I
also
wanted
to
add
those
two
things
to
the
list
as
well
too,
because
we
feel
like
those
things
along
with
I'm
sure
many
others
will
improve
the
issues
around
Public
Safety
and
crime
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank.
AB
Yes,
thank
you,
council
president
I
know
that
it
is
a
concern
to
every
member
of
this
body.
It
is
a
concern
to
everyone
in
our
city
and
to
the
administration
as
well.
There
are
different
approaches
to
how
this
will
be
resolved:
I
I,
Echo,
the
concerns
of
council
member
Thomas
in
the
sense
that
we
do
appropriate
money
and
when
the
administration
does
not
use
that
money
as
it
was
specifically
appropriated,
we
continued
appropriate
and
appropriate
and
appropriate.
AB
There
comes
a
point
in
time
where
the
only
thing
we
can
do
is
withhold
this
I
understand
my
colleagues
as
I
said:
there's
a
lot
of
good
things
in
this
bill.
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
need
to
be
funded.
I
I
do
want
to
also
thank
council
member
Catherine,
Gilmore
Richardson
for
her
leadership
on
this
issue.
Her
advocacy
has
been
very
strong
with
the
administration
and
I
I.
Think,
if
nothing
else,
the
administration
I
hope
will
take.
This
has
a
very
serious
warning
on
my
part.
AB
F
Thank
councilmember
o
for
his
advocacy
and
for
the
hearing
that
was
held
last
week,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
councilmember
Jones,
our
new
chair
of
Appropriations,
who
has
really
guided
us
through
this
process
in
the
very
detailed
work.
But
I
wanted
to
again
thank
councilmember,
oh
because,
on
the
Wednesday
before
Thanksgiving
I
sent
a
communication
directly
to
the
administration
copied
council
member,
oh
and
our
colleagues
regarding
the
questioning
at
the
hearing.
F
The
public
safety
hearing
about
the
relocation
of
the
witnesses,
and
we
in
this
body
have
done
our
part
to
allocate
the
funds
to
ensure
that
those
individuals
could
be
moved.
However,
the
Administration
has
yet
to
spend
that
allocation.
That
is
happening
all
too
frequent
with
a
number
of
matters
that
we
have
faced
with
a
sense
of
urgency
in
this
body.
F
So
I
am
respectfully
requesting
that,
as
we
move
forward
in
our
budget
process
for
next
fiscal
year
that
the
administration
take
notice
that
they
are
not
going
to
move
forward
with
the
issues
and
the
agenda
of
the
day
from
this
body
that
we
will
take
that
as
a
note
as
we
move
forward
in
the
budget
process
next
year.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank.
V
You
Mr
President.
This
is
not
my
first
transfer
ordinance
and
but
I
can
tell
you
that
our
chairman,
his
first
his
first
transfer
ordinance,
is
the
best
process
and
the
best
result
that
I've
ever
seen
and
discussions
were
made
and
councilman
Jones.
V
What
made
it
clear
that
all
the
concerns
that
have
been
mentioned
will
be
taken
seriously:
it's
not
going
to
be
a
Repeat
Performance.
Every
time
a
Bill
gets
signed
by
the
mayor,
agreeing
to
everything,
that's
in
it
or
wouldn't
be
signed,
and
then
it
just
gets
ignored.
So
I
want
to
thank
councilman,
Jones
and
the
whole
committee,
because
this
really
was
a
landmark
transfer
awareness.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
good
thing:
councilwoman
Sanchez
is
not
still
here,
sir.
A
It
was
definitely
one
of
the
best.
That's
right,
always
a
diplomat.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilman
councilman
I
understand.
Thank
you.
She
recognize
the
councilwoman
bass
one
more
time.
G
Well,
thank
you
Mr
President,
but
really
briefly.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
councilwoman
Kathy
Gilmore
Richardson's
comments
regarding
the
upcoming
budget.
Well,
the
the
next
budget
season
and
as
we
send
a
message
to
the
administration,
I
would
say
that
not
just
waiting
until
we
get
to
the
budget
cycle
to
making
sure
that
the
administration
hears
us
but
I
think
that
if
we
really
want
to
do
something
about
the
concerns
expressed
by
councilman,
oh
then
we
need
to
do
something
before
we
get
to
the
budget
cycle.
G
I
think
that's
what
you
meant,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
like
that.
We
not
wait
until
we
get
to
the
actual
budget
to
take
some
action,
because
these
are
very
important
issues.
You
know
crime
is
that
you
know
it's
at
the
top
of
everybody's
list,
of
something
that
you
know
what
needs
to
be
addressed
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
you
know
like
if
we
don't
do
something
to
protect
our
Witnesses.
You
know
this
is
going
to
continue.
What
we
have
now
is
going
to
continue
absolutely.
A
A
Thank
you,
councilwoman.
Okay,
no
I,
understand
I
can't
speak
from
the
podium,
if
not
to
influence
the
vote,
but
she
recognizes
councilman
Johnson.
Z
No
I
just
want
to
Echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleagues,
but
particularly
around
and
I
and
I
participated
in
some
of
the
hearing
last
week
regarding
relocation,
the
witnesses
and
the
response
was
totally
unacceptable
and
it's
actually
embarrassing,
because
when
we
talk
about
reaching
close
to
500
homicides
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
and
we
taking
a
position
that
addressed
the
issue
of
gun,
violence
was
our
number
one
priority.
Then
we
shouldn't
be
talking
about
the
allocation
of
funding
and
how
Witnesses
are
being
relocated.
Z
You
can't
solve
a
homicide
if
you
don't
have
witnesses
coming
forward,
and
so,
if
you
have
witnesses
being
shot
at,
you
have
witnesses
being
murdered,
then
we'll
have
to
surviving
cycle
the
homicides,
and
so
I
want
to
specifically
Echo
what
councilwoman
bass
talked
about
that.
We
don't
have
time
to
wait.
At
the
end
of
the
day
like
we're
not
going
to
wrap
up
and
go
home
for
the
holiday
and
still
not
deal
with
this
issuance
so
I'm
all
in
we
can
meet
after
the
council
we
can
get
together.
Z
We
can
address
the
administration
and
figure
out
how
we're
addressing
this
issue,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
totally
is
unacceptable.
All
the
other
issues
that
we
supported
is
great,
but
the
issue
of
people
losing
their
lives
day
in
and
day
out,
people
being
frightened
to
come
forward.
You
know
it's
definitely
totally
unacceptable,
so
I'm,
all
in
and
I
want
to
get
with
my
colleagues
after
this,
so
we
can
move
forward
and
go
from
there.
Thank.
AC
Thank
you.
Councilman
I,
too,
want
to
go
on
record
to
saying
that
one
of
the
main
issues
that
I
discussed
throughout
my
campaign
is
the
gun,
violence
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
I
too,
am
all
in
and
whatever
it
takes
for
us
to
try
to
get
a
hand
on
what's
Happening
throughout
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
if
it
means
that
we
stop
the
bully
in
the
Amen
in
the
administration
and
make
him
comply
to
some
of
our
requests.
A
Yeah
I
understand,
thank
you.
Councilwoman.
There
will
be
definitely
be
follow-up.
You
know
well
trying
to
influence
the
decision.
Thank
you
all
right,
Mr
Decker.

start
all
over
again.

A
A
A
F
F
A
H
Thank
you,
Mr
President
I
moved
for
the
adoption
and
lunch.
A
A
G
You
Mr
President
before
we
even
call
for
the
adoption
of
the
resolution.
I
wanted
to
thank
the
folks
who
came
down
today
during
public
comment
from
Odette
one
day
at
a
time
also
Mr
Troy
Thomas,
who
told
his
personal
story
as
well
as
Miss
Sabrina
Tate,
who
was
here
from
babashi
I,
wanted
to
thank
all
of
them
for
coming
down
today.
Just
as
a
reminder
that
we
need
to
do
this,
because
people
still
die
from
AIDS
13
000
people
dying
in
the
United
States
annually,
still
from
HIV
and
AIDS.
G
So
you
know
this
is
a
day
to
remember
those
that
we
have
lost.
G
You
know
over
the
many
many
years
that
Ace
has
been
around
and
also
to
do
the
preventive
work
so
that
we
can
stop
the
numbers
from
increasing,
particularly
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
to
do
what
we
can
around
AIDS
prevention
and
with
all
that
being
said,
Mr
President
I
moved
for
the
adoption
of
the
resolution.
A
A
AB
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president
I
wanted
to
just
give
my
condolences
to
the
city
workers
and
the
municipal
related
workers
who
have
lost
their
lives
recently.
I
saw,
and
perhaps
many
people
saw,
the
shocking
video
of
a
parking
authority
worker
simply
doing
his
job
and
without
provocation
was
walked
up
from
behind
and
shot
in
the
back
of
the
head.
AB
The
only
identifying
thing
that
I
can
see
is
he
was
wearing
a
uniform
prior
to
that
we
had
a
sanitation
worker
who
was
in
the
midst
of
doing
his
job,
working
picking
up
the
trash
and
he
was
shot
and
killed,
and
unfortunately,
over
the
summer,
people
firing
multiple,
multiple
bullets
into
a
recreation
center
with
children
and
people
hit
a
a
one
of
our
workers.
AB
These
are
critical
functions
for
our
city
I.
It
is
very
problematic
and
troubling,
but
it's
also
very
sad.
We
are,
despite
whatever
differences
we
have
in
our
opinions,
a
family
of
people
who
serve
the
public
interest,
and
we
must
do
something
about
that.
No
one
should
fear
that
they
will
be
harmed
because
of
the
uniform
or
initia
or
logo.
They
wear
representing
this
city
of
Philadelphia
and
its
functions
beyond
that,
my
condolences
to
all
family
friends
and
loved
ones,
and
it
certainly
is
additional
reason
that
we
have
to
step
up.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
President
last
night
I
had
the
honor
and
privilege
of
representing
this
body
on
the
celebration
of
the
House
of
emoji
sister
falaka
fatah,
a
90
year
old
young
activist,
still
PEX
a
punch
when
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
our
babies,
gun
violence,
prevention
and
what
to
do
about
it.
I
was
in
the
African-American
museum,
with
a
crowd
of
individuals
who
were
both
70s
related
and
Millennial,
and
gen
Z
recognizing
her
contribution
to
this
effort.
Some
of
them
encouraged
her
to
teach.
H
What
was
the
answer
was
that
we
have
to
not
be
afraid
of
the
things
we
say
we
love.
We
have
to
talk
to
these
young
people,
coach,
I,
look
at
you
because
you
do
it
every
day
and
we
talk
at
them,
but
sometimes
we
don't
listen
to
them.
We
have
to
do
more
listening
to
them
to
get
the
answers
from
them,
not
what
we
think
they
should
do
and
what
we
want
them
to
do.
We
have
to
really
pay
attention.
H
The
second
thing
that
I
took
from
that
celebration
and
recognition
was
that
more
and
more
people
were
saying
what
remember
o
was
talking
about,
like
we
appropriated
and
I
talked
to
my
colleague
over
300
million
dollars
over
the
last
two
years.
We
have
done
our
part,
but
we
have
to
get
more
accountability
about
those
dollars,
because
if
it
ain't
working,
we
need
to
rethink
what
we
are
doing.
H
Remember
bass
always
talks
about.
What
do
you
do
when
the
shooter
lives
with
you
and
I
was
talking
to
a
young
person
and
an
old
head
which
I
hate
to
be
called,
but
they
said
that
there
is
a
game
being
played
now
with
pooh
sheistes,
and
what
a
push
sheisty
is
is
a
mask
that
covers
most
of
your
identifying
features.
It
is
a
mask
that
came
from
a
rapper
who
did
videos
who
stuck
people
up
with
this
match.
Now,
they've
told
me
you
should
introduce
a
long
Banning.
This
I
will
not
I.
H
Have
my
share
of
hoodies
at
home
have
respect
our
ability
to
choose
what
we
wear
to
not
limit
our
children,
but
if
they
think
this
is
dressing
for
Success,
they
are
wrong.
They
played
a
game
where
they
jump
out
on
an
old
head
at
a
convenience,
store
and
run
up
on
him.
It's
scary,
they
didn't
have
guns,
so
you
know
they
weren't
a
threat
and
it
was
funny
until
the
old
head
pulled
out
his
gun.
H
It
ain't
no
fun
hunting
when
the
rabbit
get
the
gun.
So
we
have
to
teach
our
kids
better.
We
have
to
show
them
how
to
dress
for
success.
We
have
to
give
them
a
reason
to
want
to
grow
older,
to
be
a
part
of
the
society,
but
I
say
to
them.
No,
we
won't
introduce
the
law,
but
I
remember
coming
up.
If
you
had
a
crowbar
in
your
car
or
on
your
person,
that
was
a
tool
to
do
burglaries.
H
D
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you
Majority
Leader
Jones.
That
was
a
phenomenal
speech
and
I
think
he
made
a
great
Point
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
first
and
foremost
welcome
our
new
colleagues
in
the
council
council.
President
I
know
you
did
that
earlier,
but
I
wanted
to
welcome
you
here.
The
other
day
was
a
great
ceremony,
but
it's
nothing
like
being
on
the
actual
Council
floor.
So
welcome
to
the
team.
D
I
also
wanted
to
offer
my
condolences
to
of
Mr
Milton
Street
in
the
entire
Street
family.
D
I
agree
with
you,
council
president,
when
you
talk
about
advocacy
in
this
history
of
the
city,
he
sure
made
his
presence
known
and
made
advocacy
a
part
of
his
DNA
and
thank
our
colleague
councilmember
bass
for
her
leadership
around
today
being
World
AIDS
day
and
recognizing
the
important
work
that
must
continue
to
happen
earlier
in
Council
I
had
the
privilege
of
welcoming
and
introducing
isil
Greer,
who
again,
we
recognized
in
June
as
one
of
our
champions
of
the
week,
and
the
reason
why
I
bring
him
up
is
similar
to
what
councilmember
Jones
talked
about
when
we
do
this
work.
D
On
a
consistent
basis,
we're
thinking
about
the
youth
and
the
young
people
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
one
of
the
things
I
often
challenge
us
too,
is
how
do
we
treat
our
children
here
in
the
city?
What
are
we
doing
to
inspire
them
and
to
make
them
feel
like?
There
is
hope,
it's
imperative
that
we
give
young
people
a
platform
to
be
able
to
show
off
their
skills
and
to
be
able
to.
D
Let
us
know
in
the
city
know
what
it
is
they're
doing,
but
it's
also
important
that
we
follow
that
up
with
action
and
I.
Think
today,
not
just
with
the
introduction
of
the
MPI
Bill
thinking
about
what
councilmember
o
talked
about
around
city
employees
MPI
is
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
benefit
city
employees
in
a
great
way.
D
We
may
never
see
this
Surplus
again
so
be
so
to
be
able
to
sit
here
today
and
to
know
that
we
put
money
into
things
that
we
advocated
for
earlier
this
year
around
cleaning
up
the
city
council.
Member,
oh,
is
exactly
right
around
witnessing
victim
protection,
one
of
the
things
that
we
know,
42
percent
of
the
time
case,
is
dismissed
or
thrown
out
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
that's
related
to
guns
and
crimes.
It's
because
of
witness
or
police
officer
didn't
show
up.
D
So
what
are
we
doing
as
a
legislative
body
to
do
our
part
to
allocate
funds
and
resources
to
address
that
number,
because
that
percentage
is
extremely
alarming?
So,
while
we
do
have
a
number
of
concerns
and
the
work
will
continue,
I
am
here
today
to
what
I
would
like
to
call
a
Victory
lap
as
it
relates
to
the
spending
in
the
dollars
that
are
being
allocated
for
the
Arts
and
for
prevention-based
initiatives.
D
A
lot
of
times,
young
men
that
councilmember
Jones
talked
about
who
are
wearing
those
masks
who
are
involved
in
negative
Activities
The
Narrative
is
very
similar.
It
starts
because
they're
bored
it
starts
because
they
don't
have
anything
to
do.
It
starts
because
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
right
now
we
don't
have
very
many
options,
as
it
relates
to
free
programming
for
our
teenagers,
if
you're
not
involved
in
extracurricular
activity
within
your
school.
D
So
it's
our
responsibility
to
step
up
up
and
come
up
with
innovative
ideas
and
resources
for
those
young
people
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
today,
was
in
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
as
it
relates
to
filling
that
Gap.
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you,
colleagues
for
the
work
that
was
done
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
O'neill.
D
We
appreciate
the
leadership
of
our
majority
leader
in
our
Appropriations
chair.
Thank
you.
Colleagues.
Thank.
AE
Thank
you,
council
president
I
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
voting.
Yes
on
three
million
dollars
that
will
be
allocated
to
fix
the
Sarah
pool
in
Cobbs
Creek.
Thank
you.

Don't
know
that
I
can
express
how
meaningful
this
is
to
me
and
to
my
community.
AE
Why
would
we
let
an
asset
like
that
just
be
closed
off
to
our
community
members,
and
so
you
know,
together
with
the
community,
we
started.
You
know
advocating
right
and
we
were
advocating
at
that
time
to
the
school
district
who
owns
the
pool
and
I
should
also
say
that
the
Sarah
pool
prior
to
its
closure
had
been
open
for
over
50
years,
servicing
the
community
and
scores
and
scores
of
black
children
in
particular,
learn
to
swim
at
that
pool.
It's
even
the
it's.
AE
Even
the
focus
of
a
movie
called
Pride,
based
on
how
important
it
was
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
to
black
children,
learning
how
to
swim
there,
and
so
the
loss
of
the
pool
was
was
huge
and
it
also
took
away
a
place
where
Parks
and
Recreation
would
train
our
lifeguards
in
West
Philadelphia.
AE
And
it
left
us
with
virtually
no
space
to
adequately
train
lifeguards
in
our
section
in
in
the
west
section
of
the
city,
and
it
contributed
to
us
not
being
able
to
fully
open
pools
every
single
summer
because
we
don't
have
adequate
places
to
train
lifeguards.
And
so
it
was
a
huge
loss
not
only
to
The
Cobbs
Creek
community,
but
to
the
city
at
large.
And
so
we
began
advocating
to
the
school
district
of
Philadelphia.
AE
And
you
know,
maybe
after
several
months,
the
board
voted
down
a
recommendation
to
make
a
10
million
dollar
investment
in
the
restoration
of
of
the
pool.
And
so
that
was,
you
know
really
disappointing
for
the
community.
For
me
and
I.
Think
the
district
at
that
time
or
the
school
board
at
that
time
voted
down
the
motion
because
they
saw
that
10
million
dollars
as
a
huge
amount
as
a
huge
price
tag,
especially
given
all
their
other
responsibilities
throughout
the
school
district,
but
to
the
community.
This
asset
was
priceless.
AE
I
remember
going
to
a
rally
you
know
shortly
after
that
vote,
where
the
community
was
was
outside
the
center
and
they're
advocating
for
the
pool's
reopening
and
when
I
got
to
the
rally
in
the
middle
of
the
street.
There's
a
casket
and
the
casket
was
a
symbol
of
what
we
were
losing
by
not
opening
that
pool,
because
the
community
gets
that
if
we
don't
have
safe
outlets
for
our
young
people,
that
that
contributes
to
violence
in
our
city
right,
and
so
this
is
not
just
a
pool.
AE
This
is
a
way
that
we
can
keep
young
people
productive,
having
fun
and
and
on
the
right
path,
and
so
at
that
point
you
know,
I
began
advocating
to
my
colleagues
right
about
the
importance
of
investing
in
this
pool
and
which
resulted
in
this
appropriation
and
the
transfer
ordinance
and
so
I'm
hopeful
that
now
that
we
collectively
have
virtually
cut
the
price
tag
in
half
for
the
school
district,
with
the
three
million
dollars
we
voted
on
today
and
with
another
million
from
my
own
capital
budget
and
for
and
from
rep
mcclinton's
capital
budget,
I
hope
to
work
in
partnership
with
the
school
district
to
find
another
4
million
ASAP
to
get
this
asset
open
for
The,
Cobbs,
Creek,
community
and
the
city
at
large,
and
we've
talked
a
lot
today
about
the
things
that
we
don't
want:
young
people
to
do,
and
I'm
a
participant
in
that
full
participant.
AE
AE
What
are
we
willing
to
invest
and
I
think
this
is
a
good
example
of
how
we
should
also
be
willing
to
invest
and
not
skimp
on
things
that
will
allow
our
young
people
to
have
a
healthy
and
productive
future,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
and
I
also
just
want
to
say
you
know:
I've
learned
a
lot
over
these
past
three
years
being
in
Council,
but
one
thing
that
makes
me
so
proud
about
this
particular
issue
is
that
it's
an
example
of,
even
with
all
of
the
things
that
are
going
on
in
my
district
and
across
the
city,
from
our
positions
on
Council.
AE
AC
Like
the
way
that
sounds
yeah
yeah,
I
chuckle,
every
time
I
hear.
V
AC
AC
When
I
was
a
little
younger
here,
milton-made
politics
exciting
to
me.
He
was
here
on
the
floor.
Fighting
for
the
rights
of
the
people
and
I
used
to
look
forward
to
just
catching
him
down
here,
along
with
his
brother,
Street
John
Street-
and
you
know
you
just
never
knew
what
to
expect
from
him
and
to
me
that
made
Council
exciting
jumping
over
the
rails.
Fighting
rumbling
in
the
floor,
cussing
folks
out
I
fell
in
love
with
it.
After
that
I
guess
I
like
drama.
AC
The
other
thing
is
a
long
term
person,
Marion
Johnson,
who
worked
for
decades
for
councilwoman
Marion,
Tasco
left
left
us
this
week
and
I
wanted
to
just
have
her
name
mentioned
on
the
floor
here
today,
and
possibly
just
ask
you
all
to
keep
her
family
in
prayer.
Miss
Johnson
was
the
zoning
Specialist
of
Philadelphia.
AC
If
you
ever
wanted
to
get
something
done
or
passed
and
Zoning,
you
went
to
her
and
she
didn't
have
a
a
hard
time
telling
you
to
keep
quiet
and
let
you
explain
let
her
explain
to
you
how
it
was
done
and
that
I
admire
her
I
want
to
thank
her
family
for
sharing
her
with
us
for
all
those
decades.
I
want
to.
AC
Let
everyone
know
that
I'm
sure
the
Logan
family
is
the
Logan
part
of
the
city
is
mourning
her
loss
because
we
just
named
the
street
after
her
not
too
long
ago,
and
just
remember
that
her
tenacious
and
contagious
personality,
it
will
be
something
that
we'll
always
remember.
Marion
Johnson
is
a
is
a
force
that
we
will
never
forget.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
Mr
President.
She
was
an
awesome
lady.
She
was.
She
was
very
special.
I
also
wanted
to
offer
condolences
as
well
to
the
family
of
T
Milton
Street.
You
know,
as
a
young
person
growing
up
in
North
Philadelphia
in
the
70s
and
80s.
You
know,
ear
hustling
to
you
know,
grown
folks
conversation.
G
They
were
holding
seats,
but
they
weren't,
really
the
designated
necessarily
I
would
say
of
the
people
that
they
were
representing
and
so
Milton
Street
and
his
brother
John
Street
really
brought
something
different
in
terms
of
representation
to
the
table,
and
so
you
know
his
voice
will
be
missed
and
he
was
just
such
a
Spitfire.
He
will
really
be
missed
in
all
aspects
of
government.
G
I
also
wanted
to
just
mention
really
quickly
around
the
support
for
city
workers,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
and
the
losses
that
we've
had
it's
a
it's
a
segue
into
a
hearing
that
we're
going
to
be
having
this
afternoon
I
want
to
remind
the
members
of
a
hearing
that
we're
having
for
Parks
and
Recreation,
in
which
time
we're
going
to
be
renaming.
The,
Mill,
Creek,
playground,
I
believe
it
is
into
the
Tiffany
Fletcher
playground,
which
was
done
by
councilwoman
garthier.
G
F
A
Philadelphia
city
council,
on
the
occasion
of
your
very
first
Council
session,
offer
my
condolences
to
the
families
of
T,
Milton,
Street
and
Miss
Marion
Johnson,
who
told
us
all
so
much
here
in
the
halls
of
of
City
Hall
and
remind
our
colleagues
to
please
come
by
and
say
hello
to
the
girls
from
girls
high
who
will
be
in
the
caucus
room,
learning
more
about
how
our
government
functions.
So
please
come
by
and
say
hello
to
the
girls.
Thank
you.
Z
Thank
you,
council
president
I
do
want
to
also
welcome
my
new
colleagues
to
your
first
day
of
council
I'm
gonna,
look
forward
to
continuously
moving
the
city
of
Philadelphia
forward
with
all
of
you
and
wanted
to
take
a
moment
also
to
acknowledge
the
family
of
Mr
Milton
T
Street.
You
know
as
a
Young
Man
growing
up
I'm
in
South
Philadelphia.
Z
Z
Well,
let
me
give
you
the
history
right
and
she
talked
about
Milton
Street
and
she
talked
about
how,
when
you
see
homelessness
in
the
Streets
of
Philadelphia,
they
were
taking
the
boards
off
of
these
homes
in
the
city
and
placing
the
homeless
homeless
people
inside
these
homes
right
to
make
sure
that
they
had
a
safe
place
to
stay
in,
as
well
as
providing
them
food
to
take
care
of
themselves.
I
remember,
as
I
got
older
and
got
involved
in
politics.
I
always
watch
how
he
always
challenged
the
status
quo.
Z
Push
the
envelope
for
elected
officials
to
do
things
differently.
I
remember.
He
had
a
bill,
a
casino
gaming,
Bill
concept
right.
We
had
a
pro
proceeds
from
that
bill
innocent
it
will
go
towards
job
training
and
development,
helping
our
young
people
right
and
a
lot
of
folks
probably
didn't
take
the
concept
seriously,
but
I
paid
attention
to
the
policy
aspect
of
it,
because
the
reality
is.
Z
If
we
passing
big
bills
for
big
business,
why
are
we
taking
the
same
person
to
take
care
of
those
who
are
the
least
of
us
and
making
sure
we're
carving
out
and
supporting
those
who
need
to
be
supported
and
so
to
the
family
of
Mr
Milton
Street
into
the
street
family
I
just
want
a
person
send
my
condolences
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
he
did
a
lot
of
good
work
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Advocating
you
know
when
you
advocate
for
those
who
are
most
in
lead.
Z
That's
not
the
sexy
issue.
A
lot
of
times,
people
like
to
shine
light
on
the
things
that
don't
take
a
lot
of
fighting
advocacy
around,
but
not
really
look
at
when
you're
really
rolling
up
your
sleeves
and
speaking
truth
to
power,
and
that
comes
with
a
price
when
you're
fighting
a
good
fight,
and
so
we
think
on
the
street
family,
but
particularly
the
life
of
legacy
of
Mr
Milton
Street.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank.
AF
Thank
you,
council
president
first
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
my
colleagues
for
all
of
the
support
and
the
offering
their
support
and
direction
as
I
learned
to
navigate
in
this
capacity.
I'm
grateful
for
that,
but
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
I
I
am
happy
to
hear
all
of
the
concerns
expressed
here
around
including
young
people
in
different
conversations.
I
come
from
Esperanza,
where
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
young
people
and
oftentimes,
they
always
felt
excluded
from
conversations.
AF
AF
Young
Folks,
don't
get
that
opportunity
off
them,
and
so
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
have
a
power
talk
or
have
some
type
of
Youth
talk
in
your
communities
and,
as
we
think
about
strategies,
as
we
think
about
how
to
change
gun
violence,
how
we,
as
we
think
about
how
to
make
quality
of
life
in
different
neighborhoods
better.
Let's
think
about
making
sure
that
young
people's
voices
are
at
the
table
and
that
they
are
the
priority
because
they
are
tomorrow's
leaders.
AF
So
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
all
of
their
well
wishes
and
all
of
the
support
and
understand
ending
how
important
overall
young
people
play
in
our
city.
Y
Yes,
I'd
like
to
also
thank
my
colleagues
for
welcoming
me
here
to
the
chamber
and
I'd
also
like
to
rise
to
recognize
T
Milton
Street.
It's
no
secret
that
me
and
Senator
Street
have
been
friends
for
a
mighty
long
time
going
back
to
high
school
track
days,
and
you
know
we're
we're
very
upset
that
Milton
has
passed,
but
I
wanted
to
just
share
a
little
thing
that
Milton
told
to
me
and
Street.
Y
He
says
you
know
when
I
die,
people
are
going
to
say
that
cancer
got
me,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that
five
years
ago
they
gave
him
five
months
to
live
and
he
lasted
five
years.
The
other
day
they
gave
him
five
hours
to
live
and
he
lasted
five
days.
Y
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
councilman.
He
was
a
guy
real,
quick
I'm.
Listening
to
this
I,
just
remember
briefly:
I
had
a
little
kind
of
relationship
with
the
street
family
T
Milton
Street
was
like
a
person
that
was
like
kind
of
before
his
time.
You
know
you
think
about
I
heard
you
reference
councilman
Johnson
about
the
abandoned
buildings
and
people
said
what
is
he
doing
and
it
morphed
into
the
gift
property
program,
so
the
government
stole
what
he
was
doing
and
formalized
it
and
took
credit
for
it.
A
You
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
He
talked
about
how
you
know
we
got
to
come
up
with
this
bipartisanship.
You
know
because
to
get
things
done,
you
know
getting
councilman,
oh
and
councilman
O'neal.
We
do
that
all
the
time
here,
but
back
when
Milton
Street
did
it
to
get
stuck
with
his
district
up
in
the
capital.
A
He
talked
about
legalizing
weed
and
at
that
time
it
was
called
marijuana
right.
You
know
and
that's
what
that's
actually
what
got
him
kicked
out
of
office?
You
know
they
went
out,
got
Roxanne
Jones
a
few.
Oh,
my
God
legalizing
marijuana
right,
you
know,
and
now
what
is
it
like?
30
40,
States
right?
They
have
like
legalized,
marijuana
right
what
they
call
at
the
time.
A
So
he
was
clearly
a
person
that
was
way
before
his
time
and
he
set
the
template,
as
I
said
earlier,
not
only
for
activism,
but
he
set
the
template
for
policy
and
he
will
be
missed.
But
you
know
there
are
so
many
of
us,
particularly
his
family
members,
again
had
a
little
relationship
with
them.
A
Know
they
will
continue
their
work
and
it's
our
responsibility
to
continue
that
level
of
activism
and
that
level
of
work
to
speak
for
those
people
that
don't
have
the
voice
and
the
platform
to
speak
for
themselves.
So
guys
with
that,
thank
you.
He
will
be
missed
and
I
would
like
to
recognize
councilman
squillo
for
motion
to
adjourn.
