H
J
B
B
B
Can
I
get
a
second?
Thank
you.
It's
been
moved
in
a
second
that
the
rules
of
council
peace
suspended
to
prevent
the
use
of
a
consent
agenda
to
consider
the
resolution
just
read
by
councilman
Jones,
all
in
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye
aye
those
opposed
eyes
have
it,
and
we
will
consider
the
resolution
consent
agenda
shortly.
The
chair
again
recognizes
councilman
Jones
for
the
purpose
of
calling
up
bills
and
resolutions
on
a
regular
second
reading
and
final
passes
calendar
today.
Thank.
F
You
again
Mr
President,
the
following
resolutions
are
being
considered
for
the
excuse.
Me
start
again.
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
in
addition
to
the
resolutions
being
considered
for
the
consent
agenda
today,
the
following
resolutions
and
bills
are
being
called
up
for.
Second
reading
and
final
passes
calendars
today,
numbers.
B
Thank
you
very
much
councilman.
We
will
now
move
to
our
public
comments
session,
but
before
considering
these
resolution
bills,
we
will
consider
the
public
comment
session
will
go
as
follows.
Your
public
comment
session
must
concern
matters
on
the
second
reading
and
final
passes
calendars
for
possible
action
at
today's
Council
session.
All
speakers
must
sign
up
in
order
to
testify.
If
you
have
not
already
signed
up
for
today's
session,
please
do
do
so
now
by
giving
your
name
to
the
sergeant-at-arms
at
the
tables
set
up
for
this
purpose
in
the
hallway
just
outside
this
council
chambers.
B
I'm
going
to
do
three
minutes
yeah
today
we
don't
have
a
significant
volume
of
people,
so
we're
gonna
do
three.
We're
gonna
do
three
minutes
a
day,
so
you
will
each
have
three
minutes
to
testify.
However,
the
time
limit
may
vary
from
session
to
session,
based
on
the
volume
of
speakers.
In
order
to
be
fair,
all
those
wishing
to
speak,
we
intend
to
hold
Faithfully
to
the
established
time
limit.
So
when
you
begin
speaking,
you
will
see
a
green
light
on
the
podium
when
they're
30
seconds
remaining
to
your
time.
B
The
light
will
turn
yellow,
which
is
your
reminder,
can
conclude
your
remarks.
So
we
ask
you
to
get
right
to
your
remarks
when
you
step
up
to
the
podium
once
three
minutes
have
passed,
the
light
will
turn
red
and
the
sergeant
arms
will
disconnect
the
microphone,
and
at
that
point
please
yield
the
podium
to
the
next
speaker.
If
you
have
not
already
done
so.
We
also
reserve
the
right
pursuing
to
our
rules
of
council
to
limit
repetitious
comments
on
the
same
subject
matter.
So
I
would
ask
Mr
Decker.
B
K
Name
is
Jerome
L
Moore
Jr
from
the
Mount
Olive
Baptist
Church,
we're
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
my
pastor,
the
Reverend
Harry
Moore
Senior,
who
has
been
pastoring
at
Mount,
Olive,
Baptist
Church
for
28
years.
We
just
celebrated
his
28th
year
at
663,
638
North,
37th
Street,
where
he
has
been
a
monstrous
leader
in
the
pillar
of
Mount
Olive
Baptist
Church
in
West
Philly.
This
man
has
been
a
pillar
of
leadership
both
inside
the
walls
of
Mount
Olive,
as
well
as
outside
of
the
walls
of
Mount
Olive
Baptist
Church.
K
He
has
taken
the
Baptist
Creed
outside
in
terms
of
even
funeralizing
a
building
on
melon
Street,
one
of
the
times
one
of
the
first
times.
You've
ever
witnessed
that
in
our
community
he
is
a
giver.
He
is
a
teacher,
but
most
of
all
he
is
a
man
of
God
who
has
been
steadfast
and
unmovable
and
making
sure
that
he
undergoes
us
with
our
belief
as
baptized
Believers
in
our
Lord,
not
savior,
Jesus
Christ.
K
B
H
L
Trustee
man
we
are
in
the
process,
we
would
like
to
name
the
638th
block
of
North
37th
Street
after
Pastor
Harry
Moore
Senior.
He
does
a
lot
for
the
community,
he
does
a
lot
for
the
people
and
not
only
for
the
congregation
but
more
than
the
people
that
are
not
members
of
our
church.
We
are
asking
that
you
approve
this
resolution
so
that
we
can
honor
him
and
the
neighborhood
in
which
the
church
resides.
B
M
Good
morning,
great
morning
to
everyone,
my
name
is
obona.
Hagins
I
really
want
to
just
concur
with
the
resolution
honoring
and
celebrating
the
life
of
Reverend
Dr
Leon
Sullivan,
the
lion
of
Zion,
but
I
want
to
just
remind
people
exactly
what
the
Reverend
Sullivan
was
about.
You
know
he
created
the
Sullivan
principles
and
I
really
want
to
ask
this
body
if
they're
living
up
to
those
principles
of
Reverend,
Leon
Sullivan,
it's
good
to
acknowledge
Him
and
the
100th
anniversary
of
his
birth.
M
So,
if
we're
going
to
celebrate,
if
we're
going
to
celebrate
Leon
Sullivan,
let's
research,
what
the
Reverend
Leon
Sullivan
was
about
and
let's
Implement
those
things
in
the
bills
that
you
present
on
in
honor
of
the
you
know
on
behalf
of
the
city.
He
did
this
in
relationship
to
apartheid
in
South
Africa,
but
there's
a
lot
of
apartheid
or
apartheid
happening
right
here
in
Philadelphia,
and
we
need
to
examine
that
as
a
body.
M
The
city
council
members
need
to
examine
the
separation
of
people
from
the
way
the
communities
are
being
gentrified
to
our
education
system.
We
need
to
acknowledge,
acknowledge
that
and
not
just
acknowledge
brother
Leon
Sullivan
again.
My
name
is
obona
Hagins
and
one
other
thing
too.
He
spoke
out.
He
wasn't
very
quiet.
He
that's
why
he
was
called
The
Lion
of
Zion
because
he
spoke
out
against
injustices
and
you
guys
know
what
the
Injustice
here
in
Philadelphia
is
from
The
Dumping
to
people
driving
crazy
to
there
being
a
lawlessness
in
the
city,
so
I.
M
N
Good
morning
my
name
is
Winifred
Taylor
and
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
Mount
Olive
Baptist
Church
speaking
in
reference
to
my
pastor,
Reverend
Harry
Moore
Senior
I
have
been
blessed
to
work
as
an
administrative
assistant
to
Reverend
Harry
Moore
Senior
for
the
past
14
years.
During
this
time,
I
have
been
privy
to
observe
him
in
various
situations,
I
admire
who
he
is
and
I'm
very
proud
to
call
him
my
pastor.
N
N
I
have
found
Reverend
Moore
to
be
faithful
and
authentic,
witness
of
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ.
He
is
an
enthusiastic
Bible
scholar
when
discussing
and
studying
the
word
of
God
some
characteristics
in
which
I
believe
speaks
volume
about
him
or
Reverend
Moore
allocates
time
to
study,
plan
and
prepare
his
sermons.
His
sermons
are
spiritually
based
as
well
as
they
are
creative,
focused,
but
yet
relevant
and
timely
enough
to
meet
the
needs
of
God's
people.
N
N
He
is
respectful,
but
also
respected
by
both
his
members
and
his
community.
This
is
by
far
not
a
complete
list,
but
it
will
provide
a
snapshot
and
an
insight
as
to
why
we
believe
the
Reverend
Harry
Moore
Senior,
who
is
our
pastor,
should
receive
this
prestigious
honor
of
having
a
street
named
after
him.
Thank
you.
O
O
They
are
failing
to
provide
meaningful
salary
increases
in
a
hostile
economy
to
a
Workforce
who
hasn't
seen
a
pay
increase
in
over
three
years,
and
they
are
failing
to
provide
a
health
care
plan
that
workers
can
afford
to
purchase
and
to
use
I
love
my
job
at
the
Museum,
and
it's
why
I
moved
here,
but
I
could
walk
three
blocks
down
the
street
and
take
the
same
job
at
The,
Barnes
Foundation
for
20
percent,
more
pay.
My
colleagues
could
do
the
same
at
the
barns
at
Papa,
Penn
and
elsewhere,
and
they
have
been
doing
so.
O
It
hurts
me
to
be
out
on
a
picket,
unpaid
and
lighting
collections,
sit
untended
to
and
stalling
out
projects.
I
have
put
my
whole
heart
into,
but
there
comes
a
point
when
The
Prestige
of
working
at
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art
can't
outweigh
the
financial
burden
of
a
soaring
cost
of
living
in
Philadelphia
and
stagnant
pay.
It's
time
for
city
council
to
please
step
in
and
help
the
working
people
of
Philadelphia
win
a
contract
that
we
deserve.
Thank
you.
P
Good
morning,
thank
you
Council.
My
name
is
Zoe
Cohen
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
220599
and
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art
Union
I'm,
an
artist,
an
educator
and
an
organizer
with
United
academics
of
Philadelphia
aft
local
9608
I've
been
proud
to
be
a
Philadelphian
for
over
20
years,
I'm.
Also,
a
former
Museum
educator
at
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art
I
taught
in
almost
every
type
of
educational
program.
The
museum
offered
from
around
2001
to
2007.
P
I
started
working
at
the
Museum
less
than
a
month
after
moving
here
as
a
young
adult.
During
that
time,
I
fell
in
love
with
the
collection
and
with
this
city,
while
teaching
in
the
Galleries,
and
also
working
on
Outreach
programs
in
the
neighborhoods
of
Philadelphia
I
learned
that
the
museum
is
one
of
the
city's
greatest
resources,
just
like
the
Atwater
Kent
collection,
and
that
its
staff
are
dedicated
to
making
it
a
resource
available
to
all
philadelphians.
Just
as
that,
what
a
Kent
collection
should
be.
P
P
Pma
workers,
like
all
workers,
deserve
the
respect
and
stability
of
a
strong
Union
contract
in
order
to
be
able
to
continue
to
serve
Philadelphia
council
members.
In
addition
to
reconsidering
the
terms
of
transfer
of
the
Atwater
Kent
collection,
I
urge
you
to
support
the
PMA
Union
and
compel
the
PMA
leadership
to
meet
their
reasonable
demands
for
sustainable
pay
and
benefits.
Thank
you.
C
Morning,
my
name
is
oops
sorry,
my
name
is
Adam
Rizzo
and
my
statement
is
in
reference
to
resolution
220599
as
a
museum
educator
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
city
council
shares
my
commitment
to
ensuring
that
public
collections
continue
to
be
conserved
and
made
accessible
to
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia
my
own
employer.
The
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art
has
made
several
public
statements
recently
about
the
importance
of
serving
our
community.
C
However,
they
do
not
seem
to
consider
those
who
work
at
the
Museum
as
part
of
that
community
workers
at
the
PMA
Union
are
currently
on
strike
for
a
living
wage
and
Affordable
Health
Care.
We
are
the
philadelphians
that
the
management
of
the
museum
have
the
most
power
to
impact
in
a
positive
way,
but
instead
they
treat
us
like.
We
are
separate
from
the
communities
we
serve.
They
are
happy
to
emphasize
the
importance
of
our
work
to
criticize
our
choice
to
strike,
but
they
don't
think
our
work
is
important
enough
to
pay
us
a
living
wage.
C
I
urge
you
to
make
sure
that
money
is
used
to
support
Rank
and
file
workers
at
the
Museum
and
not
the
bloated
millionaires
in
Senior
Management
I'm,
a
museum,
educator
and
I
want
to
get
back
to
work
to
continue
serving
the
wonderful
students
of
the
school
district
of
Philadelphia,
but
I
won't
do
it
until
management
comes
to
the
table.
Thank
you.
B
Q
My
statement
is,
with
reference
to
resolution
220-599
urging
the
city
of
Philadelphia
to
reconsider
the
terms
of
the
Atwater
Kent
collection
transfer
agreement
between
the
city
of
Philadelphia
in
Drexel
University,
in
order
to
ensure
adequate
stewardship
of
the
collection
and
protect
the
interests
of
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia
as
a
museum
worker
at
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art
I
know
firsthand
the
enormous
and
complex
responsibility
that
encompasses
the
administration
and
guardianship
of
a
collection
of
this
importance
at
the
PMA.
That
responsibility
falls
on
the
union.
Q
Members
of
askme
dc47
we're
the
curators
conservators
photographers
Educators
visitor
services
and
Retail
Associates
I.T
professionals,
art
handlers,
development
officers.
The
list
goes
on.
The
point
is
we
are
the
ones
that
take
care
of
the
museum
and
its
collection,
and
we
are
fighting
at
this
very
moment
for
better
pay
and
Affordable
Health
Care
from
the
museum
management
we're
on
strike,
because
the
museum
refuses
to
adequately
compensate
its
highly
skilled
and
knowledgeable
staff
that
takes
great
care
in
preserving
and
sharing
its
world-class
collection
with
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia
and
the
world.
Q
R
R
I
thank
the
city
council
for
hearing
my
statement
in
reference
to
resolution
to
do
220599
regarding
stewardship
of
the
Atwater
Kent
collection.
It
is
in
the
interest
of
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia
the
institutions
such
as
Drexel
University,
who
stewards
the
collection
and
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art,
who
stewards
other
distinguished
art
collection,
Keith
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
the
John
G
Johnson
collection,
among
others,
take
appropriate
measures
to
ensure
adequate
stewardship.
R
For
instance,
significant
City
funds
bolster
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art.
Yet
at
this
very
moment,
its
workers,
including
conservators
curators,
installers
and
registrars,
are
on
strike
fighting
for
fair
pay,
reasonable
health
care
and
our
First
Union
contract.
After
two
years
of
negotiations,
we
are
professionals
who
love
our
jobs
and
are
committed
to
making
sure
such
esteemed
works
of
art
are
accessible
to
Philadelphia
taxpayers,
We
Tour,
the
communities
we
serve
yet
many
of
us
work.
Several
jobs
cannot
afford
health
care
and
are
in
a
housing
crises
due
to
stagnant
wages
and
tone
deaf
leadership.
R
The
pay
disparity
within
the
museum
is
staggering,
leaving
those
of
us
who
actually
put
art
on
the
walls
and
Lead
children's
programs
to
have
to
strike
as
a
last
resort.
Meanwhile,
the
city's
Assets
in
the
form
of
important
collections,
such
as
the
Atwater
and
the
Johnson
languish,
while
Museum
Executives
bring
home
salaries
ranging
from
two
hundred
thousand
to
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
It's
shameful
and
Philadelphia
taxpayers
deserve
better.
Thank
you.
B
S
If
I
had
time,
I
would
like
to
give
my
support
to
my
union
colleagues
who
are
fighting
for
fair
treatment
by
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art
because
they
deserve
it.
If
I
had
time.
I
would
also
like
to
speak
about
the
shooting
in
Roxborough,
which
is
near
my
home
and
also
about
the
hurricane
Ian
and
what
the
implications
are
for
Philadelphia
from
climate
disruption.
S
This
takes
up
a
big
part
of
your
calendar
and
a
big
part
of
of
your
mental
process
here
in
Council,
but
remember
there
are
42
000
properties
in
Philadelphia
that
are
vacant
and
we're
barely
keeping
up.
So
when
mayor
Kenny
tells
us
that
everything
is
fine
and
we
don't
need
any
additional
help,
because
everything
is
going
along
fine
with
the
way
things
are
I
take
exception
to
that,
because
I
think
we
can
do
much
much
better
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
do
better
is
with
the
implementation
of
the
Philadelphia
public
Financial
Authority.
S
Among
other
things,
the
the
ability
to
dispose
of
property
having
drawing
down
the
inventory,
provides
more
funds
for
additional
Acquisitions
and
the
way
to
do
that
is
to
support
Land
Trust.
We
don't
we
have.
There
are
256
land
trusts,
the
United
States.
We
have
several
of
them
here
in
Philadelphia,
but
they're
small,
and
they
need
help.
The
financial
Authority
can
provide
that
kind
of
help
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
find
ways
in
which
we
can
Implement
that
together.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
to
this
matter.
Once
again,.
T
Members
and
you,
sir,
my
name
is
Catherine
Casey
I'm,
a
resident
of
Philadelphia
trained
as
an
art
historian,
with
a
PhD
from
Bryn
Mawr
College
I
am
here
to
strongly
voice
my
support
in
favor
of
the
resolution
to
reconsider
the
terms
of
the
Atwater
King
collection
transfer
agreement
in
reference
to
the
art
collections.
However,
I
would
like
to
point
out
an
embarrassment
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia
that
is
taking
place
on
a
world
stage.
T
The
Philadelphia
Museum
art
has
a
world-class
collection
of
art,
and
people
come
from
all
over
the
world
to
view
it
as
an
art
historian.
I
can
vouch
that
the
art
world
is
a
buzz
with
news
of
the
reason
strike
and
it
is
known
in
that
world
that
the
PMA
treats
its
employees
poorly
and
does
not
pay
them.
Well.
I
will
repeat:
this
is
an
embarrassment
for
the
city
that
is
taking
place
on
a
world
stage.
T
Now,
from
the
news,
I
learned
that
the
PMA
sits
on
city
property,
which
it
leases
for
a
dollar
a
year
and
that
all
the
PMA
utility
bills
are
paid
for
by
my
tax
dollars
as
allocated
in
the
budget
that
you
pass.
Given
this
stake,
your
stake
in
it
I
urge
the
city
council
to
take
whatever
action
you
can
to
persuade
the
museum
to
resolve
this
dispute
and
enter
into
a
fair
contract.
Thank
you.
B
G
E
E
And
I'm
going
to
speak
to
that,
but
I
just
also
wanted
to
mention
really
quickly
that
the
art
museum
does
have
a
huge
endowment
and
receives
considerable
freebies
from
the
city
of
Philadelphia
in
terms
of
no
taxes.
Some
of
this
services
that
they
receive
freebies
from
the
city
on
some
of
the
most
valuable
real
estate
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
to
be
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
apart
on
a
six
million
dollar
budget
is
just
ridiculous.
E
So
I
just
really
wanted
to
put
that
out
there,
but
on
resolution,
220599
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who
spoke
on
it
is
made
aware
that
we're
actually
going
to
withdraw
that
particular
version
of
the
resolution
and
introduce
a
revised
version
based
on
some
technical
changes
that
need
to
be
made
to
the
actual
resolution.
So
the
substance
will
still
be
there,
but
based
on
some
technical
changes,
we
need
to
withdraw
and
reintroduce.
So
thank
you
so
much
Mr
President
thank.

We
lost
a
young
man's
life.
Five
people
shot
for
one
fatally
in

that
is
not

to,
nor
should
any

be
used
to
gun.
Violence
want
to
thank
the
members
of

that
reached
out
called
and
came
out
to
support
it.
The
chair
of
Education
member
Thomas
to
Kathy
Gilmore
Richardson
to
Helen
gimm
to
all
of
the
members
that
showed
up
and
stepped
up
to
the
plate
about
this
incident,
as
if
it
were
their
individual
districts,
didn't
matter
where
it
was.
F
F
This
would
not
be
as
prevalent
if
we
did
not
have
the
high
murder
rate,
the
high
shooter
rate
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
So
when
remember,
Thomas
brought
that
question
up
it.
Just
it
just
hit
us
over
the
top
of
the
head
like.
Why
don't
we
know
what
hospitals
have
trauma
units
and
how
long
does
it
take
to
get
from
this
point
a
to
get

F
B
H
B
H
B
H
B
B
U
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president,
a
great
Art
institution
relies
not
just
on
the
Grandeur
of
its
building
or
the
Rarity
of
its
collections,
but
actually
on
the
value
and
the
greatness
of
its
staff.
I
want
to
recognize
and
thank
all
the
members
of
dc47
who
are
here
today,
as
they
work
on
an
extended
contract
with
the
Philadelphia
Museum
of
Art
I.
U
You
know
we
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
a
number
of
teachers
and
staff
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so.
We
talked
to
students
themselves
and
I
think
we
will
continue
to
do
so,
but
we
also
need
to
come
to
a
recognition.
I
think
this
body
definitely
has
acknowledged
that
we
are
not
doing
enough
that
this
body
has
funded
programs
that
are
still
in
their
pilot
phases
or
have
not
yet
gotten
off
the
ground.
U
That
includes
a
key
Employment
Program
for
individuals
who
are
most
impacted
by
gun
violence
that
this
body
funded
in
June
of
2021
and
is
going
to
be
starting.
Apparently
this
fall
the
amount
of
urgency
that's
needed
around.
This
is
undeniable
and
I
particularly
want
to
make
a
statement
about
young
people.
U
You
know
the
what
is
happening
amongst
a
number
of
young
people,
whether
we
saw
it
at
Mill
Creek,
whether
we
saw
it
outside
of
Roxboro,
whether
we've
seen
it
outside
of
Bartram
high
school
and
in
other
places
is
start
it.
We
need
a
clear
and
deliberate
plan
to
address
these
Street
disputes
that
are
involving
so
many
young
people.
We
need
conflict
mediation
on
the
ground.
We've
said
that
we
need.
U
You
know:
violence
Interrupters
on
the
ground
when
80
of
our
police
shootings
are
going
without
you
know,
without
an
arrest,
much
less
a
conviction
being
made.
We
need
a
City
Community
Partnership
around
a
de-escalation
and
professional
mediation
intervention.
We've
seen
programs
like
this
work
in
other
cities,
but
we
need
a
targeted
Program
for
Young
People
and
in
particular,
you
know.
I
want
to
I
want
our
our
Council
body
to
focus
on
the
Juvenile
Justice
Services
Center.
These
are
young
people
who
are
at
most
risk.
U
You
know
we
we
should
be
talking
to
our
municipal
courts.
We
need
to
be
discussing
this
with
DHS,
but
it's
clear
that
the
the
one
of
the
reasons
why
many
of
us
supported
councilmember,
gautier's
Declaration
of
gun
violence
as
a
public
health
emergency
is
because
it
does
actually
need
multiple
entities
at
the
table.
No
one
entity
can
handle
this.
The
school
district
does
not
have
enough
information.
Probation
does
not
have
enough
information,
DHS
does
not
have
enough
information.
U
So
this
is
not
to
disparage
any
work
that
people
are
working
on
or
things
that
are
underway,
but
we
have
got
to
get
to
scale
in
some
way
or
another,
and
we've
got
a
whole
cohort
of
young
people
who
are
crying
out
for
help
who
are
in
our
justice
system,
because
they
are
definitely
identified
as
needing
help.
We
need.
We
need
to
deliver
that
for
them
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
on
some
serious
programming,
hopefully
in
part
with
some
of
our
courts,
to
figure
out
what
that
may
look
like.
A
Thank
you,
council
president
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
stand
who
stood
with
me
the
other
day
at
a
press
conference
as
I
release.
My
gun
report
has
released
the
recommendations
around
things
we
could
do
right
now.
When
we
talk
about
the
issue
of
crime
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
similar
about
my
colleagues
already
have
done.
We
know
we
can't
fix
crime
without
addressing
the
issues
of
poverty,
schools
and
things
like
that.
A
I
will
put
housing
on
that
list,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
there
are
some
things
that
we
feel
like.
We
can
do
right
now,
and
that
was
the
focus
of
the
report.
So
I
want
to
thank
council
members,
bass,
squilla
Driscoll,
Clark,
councilmember,
John,
Jefferson
and
proxy
councilmember
Gilmore
Richardson
for
her
support
as
well
too.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
listened
to
councilmember
Jones
talk
about
the
catastrophe
that
happened
in
his
district
council
member
again
talked
about
other
issues
that
have
plagued
the
city
of
Philadelphia
before
Council
started.
A
I
was
talking
to
councilmember
Driscoll
about
the
incident
that
happened
at
Wawa
and
some
of
the
things
that
he's
doing.
As
it
relates
to
his
leadership
to
try
to
address
that
crisis
as
well,
too,
and
and
when
we
look
at
these
things,
we
recognize
that
our
city
is
facing
issues
that
we've
never
seen
before.
I
say
it
all
the
time
to
victims
as
well
as
the
culprits
are
getting
younger
and
younger,
and
we
have
to
be
Innovative
as
it
relates
to
how
we
approach
these
Solutions.
A
So
this
past
summer,
I
spent
a
lot
of
time,
like
I
said
before
at
my
Camp
working
with
children
and
young
people
across
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
talking
to
victims
listening
to
briefings
from
different
criminal
justice
partners
and
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
gun,
Court
watching
the
actual
trials
and
or
the
preliminary
hearings,
as
well
as
talking
to
judges
and
other
law
enforcement.
Folks,
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
came
up
with
a
list
of
things
that
we
feel
like.
A
We
are
seeing
issues
around
Witnesses
showing
up
around
police
officers
showing
up
the
court,
and
those
are
clerical
problems
as
it
relates
to
communicating
things
to
people
as
well
as
issues
around
trust
with
government.
So
one
of
our
recommendations
is
that
we
spend
three
million
dollars
right
now
to
protect
Witnesses
and
victims
and
to
put
us
in
a
position
where
we
can
restore
trust
between
government
and
constituents
across
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We
know
we
have
a
huge
issue,
as
it
relates
to
cleanliness
and
blight.
A
We're
recommending
about
four
million
dollars
be
spent
right
now
on
cleaning
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We
talked
about
looking
at
issues
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
dollars
that
we
already
have
spent
around
gun
violence
and
examining
our
Effectiveness
or
ineffectiveness
as
it
relates
to
how
those
dollars
have
been
spent
council.
Member
again,
who
just
spoke
right
before
me,
talked
about
the
urgency
around
spending
money.
A
Now
this
Council
body
has
already
passed
legislation
to
allocate
money
to
put
more
cameras
in
rec
centers
and
in
places
where
we
know
our
children
are
and
those
things
don't
exist
yet
so,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
do
want
to
see
more
cameras.
We
do
want
to
see
significant
investment.
We
know
we
had
conservative
projections
coming
out
of
the
budget
and
we
have
money
that
we
can
spend
and
will
spend
right
now.
A
The
question
is,
is
what
will
we
spend
that
money
on
and
I'm
recommending
at
least
15
million
of
that
Surplus
that
we
know
we
have
right
now
be
spent
to
address
gun
violence
and
address
gun
violence
right
now,
we're
urging
the
administration
to
put
together
a
100-day
plan.
I
know
we're
past
the
100-day
mark,
as
it
relates
to
the
end
of
the
calendar
year,
but
this
was
put
on
the
administration's
desk
before
that
Mark.
A
We
want
the
administration
to
look
at
where
we
are
and
we
want
to
see
a
full
Blitz
as
it
relates
to
resources,
and
we
want
to
see
it
targeting
and
Eric
targeted
two
areas
where
we
see
the
most
crime
at
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We
know
that
12
of
our
rules
produce
over
80
percent
of
our
car
accidents.
But
if
you
look
at
a
map
that
overlays
that
overlaps
those
same
areas
we'll
see,
a
lot
of
those
same
areas
are
also
plagued
with
other
criminal
Behavior
other
criminal
activity.
A
We
passed
the
body
level,
we
passed
a
resolution
out
of
this
body
led
by
councilmember
gadier
that
spoke
to
us
needing
to
declare
a
state
of
emergency
around
gun
violence,
and
it's
tough
for
us
not
just
as
council
members,
but
as
constituents
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
to
feel
that
sense
of
urgency
when
we
as
legislators
cannot
get
basic
answers
to
questions
cannot
see
money
spent
on
things.
We
know
that
need
to
be
spent,
and
we
can't
see
a
collaboration
with
the
parties
that
we
know.
A
We
need
to
see
a
collaboration
with
in
order
to
address
this
issue,
so
I'm
concerned
like
the
rest
of
my
colleagues,
but
at
the
same
time
I'm
not
defeated
I'm,
going
to
continue
to
fight
this
fight
and
I
know.
My
colleagues
and
Council
will
continue
to
fight
this
fight
and
do
everything
that
we
can
to
address
the
crime
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
before
I
close
out
I
just
want
to
Echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleague
and
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
workers
who
are
here
today
and
Echo.
A
E
E
We
have
somehow
normalized
what's
happening
in
a
lot
of
our
communities.
There
is
nothing
normal
about
the
death
of
a
14
year
old
on
the
football
field
or
the
other
22-23
children
who
have
been
murdered
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
through
gun
violence
this
year,
so
I
know
that
it's
highly
likely
that
there
were
well.
It
was
stated
that
there
were
five
Shooters
at
Roxborough.
There
are
likely
five
households
where
these
Firearms
are
today
councilman
Jones,
and
when
we
talk
about
you
know,
what
do
you
do
when
a
shooter
lives
with
you?
E
You
know
it
may
sound
like
a
catchy
little
phrase,
but
that's
real,
because
it's
likely
that
those
Shooters
are
living
in
some
with
Mom
Dad
Grandma
Granddad
they're
living
with
someone,
and
so,
if
you
even
suspect
that
a
young
person
in
your
household
was
involved,
you
need
to
flip
that
mattress
up
go
under
the
bed.
Go
in
the
closet.
You
need
to
run
through
that
room
and
turn
them
in
back
in
the
day.
You
know
when
I
was
coming
up.
E
If
you
had
a
situation
with
a
young
person
in
your
household,
you
might
go
to
like
a
Chuck
Stone,
remember
back
in
the
day
or
you
might
go
to.
You
know
someone
to
walk
your
young
person
there,
whoever
you
feel
like
you
need
to
walk
them
in.
They
need
to
come
in
okay,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
do.
Our
community
needs
to
do,
and
so
I
just
really
want
to
put
the
word
out
and
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
all
of
their
work
on
gun
violence.
I.
E
Thank
you,
councilman
for
your
steadfastness
fastness
and
bringing
this
resolution
forward
regarding
the
number
of
Trauma
Centers
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We
call
ourselves
a
city
of
EDS
and
meds,
and
if
you
have
to
pass
that
many
hospitals
to
get
to
a
Trauma
Center,
then
that
statement
is
questionable.
E
It's
Highly,
Questionable,
and
so
all
of
the
things
that
we
do
really
need
to
be
re-examined
when
it
comes
to
saving
the
lives
of
our
young
people
and
keeping
them
out
of
Harm's
Way
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
councilmember
Thomas
for
his
very
thorough
report.
It
was
outstanding.
You
know,
I
want
to
encourage
the
viewing
public
to
get
a
copy
of
the
report.
Read
it
digest
it
and
demand
it.
I
think
looking
for
a
100-day
plan
now,
maybe
a
90-day
plan
from
this
Administration
is
is
an
easy,
easy
thing
to
do.
E
E
I
wanted
to
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
folks
know
that
we
were
still
doing
our
property.
Tax
assessment
appeals
it's
kind
of
hard
to
Pivot
on
something
like
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
knew
that
we
were
still
doing
property
tax
assessment
appeals
and
that
they
could
call
our
office
for
more
information
at
215-686-3424.
Thank
you,
Mr
President
thank.
I
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
I
too,
just
wanted
to
be
recognized
today
to
hold
space
for
the
collective
grief
that
I
know.
We
all
are
feeling
around
the
mass
shooting
that
occurred
at
Roxboro
high
school
this
week
and
and
that
comes
on
the
heels
of
just
going
to
the
viewing
of
the
parks
and
rec
employee
Tiffany
Fletcher
this
week.
Also,
the
recent
Temple
grad
Mr
Beauregard,
who
was
shot
and
killed
in
West
Philadelphia
in
all
of
the
shooting
incidents
and
killings
we
have
seen
across
the
city
as
councilmember
bass
stated.
I
We
cannot
normalize
this
Behavior,
it's
not
normal,
even
earlier
this
summer,
after
losing
a
cousin
to
gun
violence.
When
we
were
first
inaugurated
here
in
this
body,
I
lost
a
16
year
old,
cousin
to
gun
violence
in
July,
shot
60
times
in
North
Philadelphia
with
semi-automatic
weapons,
and
so
this
is
an
issue.
That's
deeply
personal.
I
We
know
that
in
this
body
we
legislate
and
we
appropriate,
and
it
is
up
to
the
administrative
side
of
government
to
spend
those
dollars
in
the
way
that
we
have
intended
into
effectuate
programming
in
the
way
that
we
haven't
attended.
But
whatever
is
happening
now
is
not
enough.
We
must
continue
to
do
more
to
address
this
issue,
and
so
I
am
also
joining
my
colleagues
to
call
on
the
administration
to
come
up
with
a
90-day
plan,
not
just
working
with
members
of
council
but
all
across
government
with
a
whole
government
approach
to
this
issue.
I
You
know
to
to
put
the
individual
agendas
aside,
you
know,
put
you
know,
stop
working
in
silos
and
come
together
and
really
be
about
the
work
of
the
people.
None
of
what
we
do
is
about
us
individually.
This
is
not
about
us.
We
are
simply
here,
as
representatives
to
represent
the
people
of
this
great
City,
and
we
are
here
to
do
their
work
in
their
business.
So
I
asked
everyone.
Put
your
egos
aside.
Put
your
personal
agendas.
I
Aside,
put
your
politics
aside,
so
we
can
get
the
job
done
for
the
people
we
are
elected
to
represent
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
do
that.
Work
in
this
body.
Thank
you,
Mr
President
and
finally,
I
wanted
to
just
remind
everyone
about
the
community
evening,
Resource
Centers
that
are
available
for
young
people
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We
have
a
center
at
a
compassion,
CDC
and
62nd
and
Cedar.
The
additional
Center
is
at
Dixon
house
at
1920
South
20th
Street
in
South
Philadelphia.
I
I
I
I
will
not
apologize
for
working
with
the
administration
to
create
Community
evening
Resource
Centers
I
will
not
apologize
for
the
curfew
and
I
will
not
apologize
for
utilizing
every
tool
that
we
can
in
our
toolbox
to
make
a
difference,
but
we
have
to
use
the
multi-prong
approach
it
will
take
all
of
us,
including
the
community
and
including
parents
and
families,
to
get
a
hold
of
the
young
people
in
the
city.
So
I
wanted
to
to
just
remind
everyone
about
the
community
evening,
Resource
Centers,
and
hope
that
our
young
people
will
utilize
them.
V
Thank
you,
council
president
I
wanted
to
start
by
thanking
the
community
members
who
came
earlier
to
speak
on
the
street.
Naming
resolution
for
Reverend
Harry,
Moore
I
think
it's
apparent
by
listening
to
their
passion
and
all
of
the
wonderful
words
they
spoke
on
behalf
of
Reverend
Moore,
how
special
a
person
he
is
to
the
Mantra
Community
into
Philadelphia.
V
More
broadly,
he
Reverend
Moore
has
served
at
Mount
Olive
for
almost
30
years,
and
not
only
has
he,
you
know
stewarded
and
grown
his
congregation
he's
come
outside
his
church
walls
to
really
support,
in
particular,
the
community
of
Mantua,
with
resources
and
services
he's
also
a
champion
for
affordable
housing.
In
the
time
that
I've
been
in
Council,
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
partner
with
him
to
bring
more
affordable
housing
to
Mantua,
so
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
community
for
speaking
up
and
but
also
thank
this
body
for
your
support
of
the
resolution.
V
V
It's
just
truly
horrific
I
want
to
give
my
deepest
condolences
on
to
the
family
of
Nicholas.
The
young
man
who
perished
as
well
as
all
of
the
young
people
who
were
injured
and
I
just
think
our
biggest
charge
right
now,
as
a
city.
If
we
want
to
impact
this
issue
of
gun,
violence
is
figuring
out.
What's
going
on
with
our
young
people,
you
know
particularly
young
people
that
are
involved
in
groups
or
cliques.
V
That's
worked
on
the
issue.
I
appreciate
folks,
bringing
up
the
emergency
declaration
declaration
resolution
that
I
put
forward,
and
we
all
voted
on
in
2020
I
maintain
that
we
need
an
emergency
response
to
this
issue.
If
this
is
not
an
emergency
I'm,
not
sure
what
an
emergency
is
I,
you
know,
I
I
did
earlier
this
week.
I
showed
a
support
for
the
mayor's
executive
order
to
ban
guns
from
Recreation
spaces.
V
I
think
we
have
to
show
up
every
day,
every
city
agency,
every
you
know
partner
that
can
provide
support
to
people
and
neighborhoods
in
crisis
right
now
to
be
able
to
do
something
additional
something
different
and
something
more
and
I.
Think
it's
easy
for
us
to
feel
a
sense
of
hopelessness
with
the
horrible
things
that
are
happening
across
the
city,
but
I
maintain
that
we
don't
have
to
be
hopeless
being
hopeless
as
the
city
of
Philadelphia
right
now
is
a
choice.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilwoman
all
right.
That
concludes
our
speeches.
On
behalf
in
the
minority
and
the
majority.
We
have
a
lot
of
challenges
ahead
of
us
but,
as
always,
I
think
we're
up
to
the
task,
and
we
will
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
change.
The
direction
of
this
very
challenging
issue
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
