Thank

Good

good
morning
to
all
we've
got
clearly
established
a
farm,
so
we're
going

This

the

canaan
baptist
church.
He

I
would

please
bow
your

invocation
pastor.
Please

I
I
I
I
Lord,
you
said
in
your
word
that
if
anyone
wants
to
be
great
among
you
that
they
should
be
servants
of
all,
I
pray
for
compassion,
god,
the
most
vulnerable,
the
housing
and
food,
insecure,
the
elderly,
the
children,
the
immigrant
returning
citizens,
those
who
are
recovering,
as
well
as
overcoming
god.
I
pray
for
audacity
and
courage
so
that
our
city
will
be
measured
by
equal
opportunity
and
equal
outcomes
for
all
of
her
citizens.
I
Vision
is
what
will
unite
us
as
stakeholders.
Lord,
I
pray
for
a
multi-generation
vision
that
outlives
everyone
on
this
call
that
centuries
from
now,
they
will
look
back
at
this
time
and
said
they
lived
a
people
who
sought
a
vision
to
empower
our
city
and,
finally,
god
I
pray
for
their
strength
and
their
hope.
Lord
each
person
on
this
session
we're
all
human
with
families
and
personal
responsibilities,
and
god
it
is
not
easy,

well
doing
in

Thank

Council
president,
today
we're
honoring
the
legacy
of
the
joseph
fox
bookshop,
a
great
contributor
to
the
literary
culture
of
philadelphia,
joseph
fox,
the
founder,
started,
selling
books
in
1951
71
years
ago
in
1990,
michael's
son
took
over
the
running
of
the
bookshop,
but
fox
bookshop,
really
prided
itself
on
excellent
children's
section,
architectural
section
and
many
others.
It
was
a
small
mom
and
pop
book
shop
like
if
some
of
you
remember
that
small
little
book
shop
in
the
movie
with
tom
hanks
you've
got
mail.
D
D
Well,
the
office
buildings,
close
they've
lost
a
lot
of
potential
customers
and
they're
also
going
to
retire,
but
the
positive
news
is
they
had
an
amazing
run
in
2020
when
you
look
at
the
average
lifespan
of
a
business,
a
large
business
according
to
standard
poor's,
it's
21
years,
in
fact
down
from
32
years
in
1965,
but
for
a
small
business,
the
numbers
are
very
different.
The
average
lifespan
of
a
small
business
is
eight
years
fox,
was
in
business
for
71
years
and
was
the
oldest
bookstore
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.

good
morning,
I'm

I
am

victorious
and
blessed
13-year

of
the

who
was
paralyzed
from
the
waist
down
for
eight
years
from

effects
of

treatment.
I
give

to

During

health

Thank
you.
J
My
coalition
sister
councilwoman
shirelle
parker
for
introducing
this
important
resolution
that
I
am
providing
testimony
about
today,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
cervical
cancer
survivors,
such
as
myself
advocates
and
supporters,
including
director
of
policy
and
legislation,
survivor
rachel
meadows.
My
concerns
are
about
stigma,
resources
and
access
to
preventative,
vaccinations,
screening
and
effective
treatment
of
pre-cancerous
conditions.
J
Please
visit
the
survivordiva.com
digital
media
resource
for
cervical
cancer
awareness
and
disability
inclusion,
excellence,
advocacy
for
more
information,
and
also
I
was
unsuccessful
this
year
in
receiving
the
official
proclamation
for
pennsylvania
from
governor
tom
wolf,
along
with
other
national
cervical
cancer
coalition
chapters
across
the
country.
So
let's
do
as
much
as
we
can
locally
here.
In
philadelphia
too,
to
get
involved,
please
go
to
nccconline.org.
K
Establishing
this
authority
is
an
investment
in
the
future
of
philadelphia,
the
prosperity
of
our
residents,
the
welfare
of
our
people,
the
fairness
of
our
society.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do
it's
the
responsible
thing
to
do
so.
What's
the
theory,
how
will
it
work?
What
is
the
responsible
as
well
as
the
right
thing
to
do?
What
does
the
calculation
look
like
on
the
back
of
a
napkin?
K
Well
suppose,
the
city
capitalizes
the
authority
with
100
million
dollars
by
issuing
a
bond.
The
annual
debt
service
for
such
borrowing
could
be
around
five
million
dollars
per
year.
How
do
we
justify
the
city
taking
on
this
obligation,
starting
as
a
revolving
fund?
The
authority
will
use
that
money
to
unleash
latent
entrepreneurial
energy,
to
help
our
local
financial
ecosystem
identify
and
fill
existing
gaps.
K
Let's
estimate
the
taxes
and
fees
the
city
may
expect
to
receive
as
a
result
of
such
economic
activities,
business
income
and
receipts
taxes,
wage
taxes,
earnings
taxes,
net
profit,
taxes,
amusement
taxes,
hotel
taxes,
liquor
taxes,
sale
taxes,
real
estate
taxes
and
so
on.
Let's
assume
that
will
be
around
two
percent.
K
K
At
that
point,
the
authority
will
be
qualified
to
become
a
community
development,
financial
institution
and
as
a
cdfi,
the
authority
will
be
eligible
to
receive
matching
funds
from
the

federal
cdfi
fund

control

The
potential

for
the
city

So
when
thinking
about
establishing
the
philadelphia
public
financial
authority
and
then
providing
this
capitalization,
please
consider
the
potential
for
improving
the
fairness
of
credit
availability
for
increasing
the
amount
of
beneficial
economic
activity
for
building
the
wealth
within
our
communities
and
for
receiving
more
revenue
for
the
city's
treasury
for
each
hundred
million
dollars.
The
city
provides
for
the
authority.
The
city
treasurer
can
expect
to
receive
about
120
million
dollars.

Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
now
consider
today's
resolution
consent
agenda.
I
would
ask
mr
decker
to
please
read
the
titles
of
all
the
resolutions
on
the
consent
agenda
after
each

read.
Any
member
may
object
to
the
inclusion
of
the
resolution
on
the
resolution
consent
agenda
upon
such
an
objection
without
debate.
The
resolution
will
be
immediately
removed
from
the
resolution
consent
agenda
and
placed
on
today's
regular
final
passage
calendar.
Mr

you

Thank
you,
president
clark.
I
just
wanted
to
pull
it
off
of
the
consent
agenda,
because
I
want
us
to
ponder
for
a
moment
these
great
lawyers
and
could
you
imagine
them
being
a
law,
firm
williams,
cord
harrell,
phillips,
as
a
law
firm,
I
mean
it
would
be
powerful.
It
would
be
fair,
it
would
be
the
kind
of
law
firm.
E
We
we
could
call
philadelphia
lawyers,
so
I'd
like
to
defer
calling
for
the
passage
of
this
a
resolution
and
give
it
to
my
colleague,
jamie
goudier,
who
may
know
one
or
two
of
those
individuals.
Can
you
call
for
the
passage
of
this
resolution?
Please,
on
my
behalf.
Thank
you,
council
member.
What
an
honor
thank
you
for
recognizing
my
dad
in
such
great
company
with
all
of
these
wonderful.

Thank
you
very
much,
mr
decker,
and
that
now
completes
our
calendar
today
and
prior
to
reconnecting
members
speeches
that
hold
up
for
the
record
at
the
time.
The
chat
feature
available
on
the
microsoft's
team
to
allow
members
to
signify
that
they
wish
to
be
recognized
in
order
to
comply
with
the
sunshine
act.
The
chat
feature
must
only
be
used
for
this
particular
purpose.
With
that
said,
speeches
on
behalf
of
the
minority,
I
think
councilwoman
brooks,
is
recognized.
C

It
is
our
responsibility
as
city
officials
to
protect
our
constituents,
and
I
want
to
recognize
the
co-sponsors
of
this
bill.
Council
members
bass.
Gaurtier
gilmore
richardson,
gem,
parker,
squilla
and
thomas
for
their
strong
support
of
philadelphia
workers
with
cobia,
19
cases,
surpassing
record
highs
and
some
hospitals
in
the
region
still
at
capacity.
We
need
to
work
together
to
continue
finding
ways
to
keep
keep
philadelphians
safe,
supported
and
healthy.
So
I
want
to
thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you
for
the
thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues.
A
E
E
E
E
E
F
I
thank
you,
council,
president
I'll,
be
somewhat
brief.
Today
I
introduced
a
package
of
bills,
I'm
calling
a
civics
legislative
agenda
and
that's
really
based
on
the
concern
based
on
last
november's
election
of
having
barely
22
percent
turnout
in
our
city.
We
know
2022
is
going
to
be
a
very
important
election,
we're
electing
a
new
governor.
A
new
senator
all
of
the
state
representatives
are
up
in
the
commonwealth,
pennsylvania
and
half
of
our
state
senators.
F
Looking
ideas
like
ranked
choice,
voting
and
some
of
the
other
aspects
of
the
civics
legislative
agenda,
I
think,
will
help
to
provide
a
better
opportunity
and
more
movement
for
citizens
to
be
more
engaged
in
the
civics
of
our
city,
our
state
and
our
commonwealth,
I'm
civics,
commonwealth
and
nation.
I
also
just
want
to
thank
my
pastor
and
my
journey
brother
reverend
dr
derek
brennan,
for
this
morning's
prayer.
F
F
Many
people
know
I'm
a
very
strong
supporter
of
people
with
learning
and
physical
differences,
and
so
some
months
ago
I
signed
up
to
do
the
polar
plunge,
as
I
always
do,
and
I
would
thank
councilmember
brooks
for
her
support-
did
not
realize
that
the
polar
plunge
would
be
during
a
cold
snap
with
a
blizzard
or
hopefully
not
a
blizzard
but
snowstorm
on
the
way.
So
tomorrow,
like
many
other
people,
I
will
be
freezing
for
a
reason
at
one
o'clock
p.m
at
citizen
bank
park.

He
was
the
only
one
who
came
to
the
united
states
before
world
war
one
and
actually
had
the
honor
of
serving
in
world
war
one,
and
he
was
the
only
one
who
survived
the
12
siblings,
his
12
siblings,
their
spouses,
his
parents,
my
great-grandparents,
their
children,
were
all
killed
in
concentration
camps
during
world
war
ii.
My
grandfather
gave
me
a
postcard
from
one
of
his
siblings
from
1939.

A
G
Thank
you,
council
president.
Before
I
give
my
initial
remarks,
I
want
to
thank
councilman
dime
for
his
remarks
regarding
international
holocaust
day,
and
I
had
the
opportunity
from
some
time
ago
to
visit
the
holocaust
museum
in
israel.
It
was
a
very,
very
eye-opening
experience.
It
was
also
a
very
life-changing
experience,
and
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
on
the
remarks
that
councilman
don
mentioned,
because
it's
something
that's
also
man,
true
and
dear
to
my
heart,
just
as
a
human
being,
and
so
thank
you,
councilman
dom.
G
After
seeing
a
fellow
classmate
who
they've
known
for
the
for
the
time
period
of
this
young
man
attending
john
bartram,
high
school
life
been
taking
away
from
him
senselessly
in
front
of
other
students,
so
I
always
believe
that
it
has
to
be
all
hands
on
deck
approach.
I
salute
councilman
curtis
jones,
who
I
will
be
with
today
for
dedicating
his
time
a
lot
of
times.
People
say
well,
what
is
city
council
doing
it?
G
We
don't
see
what's
taking
place
on
social
media,
but
people
have
no
idea
that
we
are
behind
the
scenes
doing
work
day
in
and
day
out,
trying
to
address
this
issue
so
councilman
jones.
I
will
definitely
see
you
at
one
o'clock
to
be
supportive
of
the
report
that
you
put
together
with
your
team
and
making
sure
that
this
is
the
number
one
issue
that
we're
addressing
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
Thank
you,
council
president.
