an
ordinance
amending
section,
10
704
of
the
Philadelphia

entitled

on
sidewalks
to
authorized
agreements
with
the
Department

privately-owned
waste

receptacles

Thanks.
E
Name
is
Nick
Esposito
and
I'm
at
the
zero
waste
and
litter
director
from
the
managing
directors
office.
So
good
afternoon,
chairman
squill
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Nick
Esposito
I'm,
the
director
of
the
zero
waste
and
litter
cabinet
in
the
managing
directors
office
I'm
here
to
offer
testimony
for
bill
number
one:
eight
zero,
seven:
four,
eight
amending
chapter,
ten
704
of
the
Philadelphia
Code
entitled
litter
on
sidewalks
to
authorized
agreements
with
the
streets
department
for
the
placement
of
privately-owned
waste
and
recycling
receptacles
in
the
right-of-way
under
all
under
certain
terms
and
conditions.
E
This
bill
is
a
critical
step
forward
to
increase
the
number
of
publicly
accessible
waste
receptacles
in
Philadelphia,
stemming
from
the
cabinet's
2017
behavioral
study
in
coordination
with
govlab
pho.
In
the
mayor's
office,
we
conducted
a
randomized
control
trial
to
determine
the
effects
of
drastically
reducing
and
adding
waste
receptacles
in
public
spaces.
The
results
showed
that
when
waste
receptacles
were
removed
in
public
spaces,
litter
increase,
as
did
staff
time,
picking
up
that
litter.
Well,
this
may
be
obvious
to
some
people.
E
The
actual
science
and
litter
index
data
collected
through
this
experiment
showed
that,
while
illegal
dumping
around
trash
cans
may
be
a
problem,
the
answer
is
not
to
take
away
public
waste
receptacles,
but
rather
find
better
solutions
for
managing
these
public
waste
receptacles.
The
cabinet
recognizes
the
city's
responsibility
to
magic
public,
manage
public
waste
receptacles
in
the
city,
but
through
our
study
and
analysis,
we
determine
the
community
participation
in
the
monitoring
and
maintenance
of
privately-owned
waste.
E
Receptacles
is
critical
and
with
the
amount
of
community
groups
that
have
already
expressed
willingness
to
install
their
own
privately
managed
public
waste
receptacles
that
complement
the
neighborhood
and
add
to
the
cleanliness
of
a
street
or
commercial
corridor.
We
are
confident
that
we
can
work
together
to
increase
trashcan
coverage
and
improve
litter
conditions
in
Philadelphia
on
behalf
the
zero
waste
and
litter
cabinet.
E
G
E
So
what
would
accompany
this
kind
of
authorization
but
allow
the
streets
department
to
enter
into
basically
mo
use
with
these
neighborhood
associations
or
CDC's
the
entity
that
would
be
able
to
maintain
so
through
that
process?
There
would
be
certain
conditions
that
they
would
have
to
meet
to
maintain
them,
so
basically
emptying
them
managing
the
trash
making
sure
they're,
not
vandalize,
making
sure
they're
kept
in
good
working
condition.
Okay,.
G
And
because
I
know,
sometimes
people
like
block
captain's
over
the
years
have
done
these
and
oftentimes
I
saw
in
my
neighborhood
I
know
what
you're
you're
saying
here,
that
if
you
take
it
away,
it
collects
more
trash,
but
I
had
most
of
the
time
people
wanted
to
take
it
away
after
a
while.
If
they
didn't
realize
the
work
it
would
take
to
maintain
it.
You
know,
especially
if
it
was
like
a
in
a
public
transportation
area.
G
E
Would
be
responsible
for
emptying
them
amounted
to
the
bags
but
thing,
and
we
would
work
together
to
they
would
be
able
to
put
this
out
with
their
trash
collected
through
the
week
if
they're
a
business.
That's
monitoring
this
again,
having
working
with
the
CDC
to
monitor
where
it
goes.
We've
also
talked
about.
You
know:
expanding
access
to
the
sanitation
convenience
centers
for
like
the
CDC's
to
be
able
to
use
that
as
well.
So
those
are
some
ideas
that
we
could.
G
E
That's
that's
where
the
thinking
behind
this
comes.
If
we
can
work
together,
actually
sit
down
and
talk
about
from
all
the
data
we've
collected
from
the
behavioral
studies,
what
to
expect
that
we
can
work
together
to
kind
of
in
a
continuous
way
that
it's
city
and
the
community
working
together.
We
have
shown
a
research
that
when
there
are
you
know,
people
feel
that
there's
eyes
on
these
cans
when
there's
a
consistent
branding
that
goes
among
them.
That
feels
like
it's
all
part
of
the
same
project.
E
E
Be
signage,
yet
that's
saying
sometimes
other
communities
have
shown
like
signage
that
can
connect
back
to
maybe
the
business.
That's
in
front
of
there's
a
there's
already
the
ordinance
on
the
books
that,
if
you're
selling,
prepared
or
packaged
food
that
you
need
to
have
a
trash
can
out
front
of
your
establishment,
so
that
would
be
able
to
tie
into
this
network.
And
again,
it's
not
just
everyone
trying
to
figure
this
out
on
their
own.
It's
working
together
with
the
community
group
structure
and
the
CDC
structure
to
be
able
to
do
that.
Okay,.
E
A
A
You
also
like
they
recognize
Councilwoman
bast
who's
present
for
the
hearing.
I
have
a
question,
obviously
off
of
what
councilman
Greenlee
had
said.
Are
we
looking
also
and
I,
noticed
some
problems
that
we've
had
what
trash
cans
being
placed
out,
but
maybe
putting
signage
up
and
enforcement
of
people
who
dump
household
trash
into
these
cans?
Because
the
problem
is
if
they
do
put
these
bags,
and
sometimes
you
see
the
shock
right
back
exactly
bags,
whatever
fill
them
up
and
throw
them
in
these
cans.
And
next
thing
you
know
they're
filled
at
the
top.
A
E
Yes,
I
mean
that
would
that's
the
intent
for
this-
that
we
again
have
better
communication
and
know
where
the
problem
spots
are
before
they
get
out
of
control
too
much.
Nothing
is
happening.
This
would
also
tie
into
better
mapping
of
where
we
see
all
of
our
trash
cans
in
the
city,
the
ones
that
we
put
out
as
a
city
and
the
ones
that
are
put
out
through
a
program
such
as
this
yeah.
A
E
F
E
Thank
you.
Cats
might
not
have
harder
for
that,
so
it
would
be
the
community
group
that,
or
whatever
organization
signs
up
to
that,
they
were
kind
of
monitor
the
larger
system,
but
most
times
what
we've
seen
is
the
actual
business
that
maybe
it
takes
the
can
out
front
they
would
they
would
work
something
out
the.

A
L
Afternoon,
councilman,
scuola
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Brian
mol
assistant
engineering,
division
manager
of
the
water
department.
I
am
here
to
testify
regarding
two
bills.
The
first
bill
number
one:
eight
zero,
six,
eight
nine
entitled
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
construction
of
a
sewer
and
a
pertinent
work
required
to
require
to
provide
public
sewer
service
in
a
portion
of
4800
block
of
Trinity
Street.
It
was
introduced
by
councilmember
Blackwell
on
June
21st
2018.
L
The
second
bill
number
one,
eight,
zero,
seven,
zero
three
entitled
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
construction
of
a
sewer
and
pertinent
work
required
to
provide
public
sewer
service
in
a
portion
of
the
5800
block
of
Knox
Street
was
introduced
by
council
member
bass
on
June
21st
2018.
The
impacted
properties
on
these
blocks
indicated
in
each
of
these
two
bills
are
currently
served
by
private
sewers,
each
of
which
has
deteriorated
past
its
useful
life
and
each
of
which
requires
replacement
as
soon
as
possible.
L
Over
time
these
two
private
sewers
have
suffered
many
structural
defects
and
at
this
point
any
additional
repairs,
cleaning
or
internal
linings
are
not
recommended.
First,
without
installing
replacement
sewers,
the
newly
constructed
water
department
sewers
will
be
public
sewers,
taking
the
place
of
the
deteriorated
private
sewers
currently
serving
these
blocks.
L
Each
of
the
new
sewers
will
be
constructed
to
PWDs
high
standards
and
in
a
manner
that
will
better
facilitate
customers,
ability
to
maintain
the
proper
function
of
their
laterals
and
reduce
the
need
for
costly
repairs
in
accordance
with
the
plumbing,
with
the
Philadelphia
Code
impacted
residents
on
the
blocks
of
fifty
eight
hundred
knock
street
and
4800
block
of
Trinity
Street
will
be
assessed
for
their
installation
of
the
new
sewers.
These
charges
will
be
billed
to
their
private
to
their
individual
property
owners.
L
Existing
water,
sewer
and
stormwater
accounts,
pwe
PWD,
respectfully
requests
that
these
bills
be
reported
favorably
out
and
that
the
rules
of
council
be
suspended
to
allow
for
the
first
reading
of
this
bill
at
the
next
session
of
City
Council.
This
concludes
my
testimony
in
these
two
bills,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

This

At

is

number

Eight

701
this
bill
authorizes
building
block

to
construct
own
and
maintain
a
proposed
loading
dock
extension
encroachment
in
1901,
South,
9th
Street,

19019
conditions.
D
Department
of
streets
opposes
this
ordinance
for
a
number
of
reasons.
Approval
of
the
proposed
encroachment
will
require
the
streets
department
to
acknowledge
and
accept
the
usage
of
the
Dudley
Street
East
foot
weight
as
an
allowable
truck
vehicle
path.
Approval
of
the
proposed
encroachment
will
require
the
streets
department
to
acknowledge
the
complete
blockage
of
pedestrian
traffic
on
the
east
foot
Way
of
Dudley
Street.
During
loading
operations,
we
realize
there's
an
existing
condition
where
cars
park
on
the
sidewalk,
but
this
condition
has
not
been
formally
approved.

I'm
I'm

of

number,

permit
that
the
construction
of
a
loading
platform
that
extends
an
additional
ten
feet,
six
inches
from
building's
loading
entrance
and
said
18
inches
above
the
sidewalk
level.
The
platform
encroaches
three
feet
onto
the
northern
foot
way
of
Dudley
Street.
The
Planning
Commission
has
a
following
concerns
for
this
proposal.
K
First
building
and
elevated
built
loading
platform
on
the
public
sidewalk
is
not
appropriate,
as
it
creates
a
substantial
barrier
for
pedestrians.
Second,
the
proposal
indicates
its
loading
operation
will
be
handled
on
a
sidewalk
which
has
negative
impacts
to
the
existing
residential
homes
across
the
street.
At
this
meeting
on
July
17th
2018,
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
a
bill
number
one,
eight
zero,
seven,
no
one
not
be
approved.
This
concludes
my
testimony.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
testify
before
you
today
be.
Please
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
thank.
A
B
A
D
Eeks
is
opposed
to
this
encroachment,
because
the
garage
extension
beyond
the
street
line
is
explicitly
prohibited
by
section
11
604,
seven
of
the
Philadelphia
Code
approval.
This
encroachment
sets
a
precedence
for
similar
encroachments
in
the
area.
This
encroachment
is
for
the
sole
benefit
of
the
property
owner
and
offers
no
public
benefit,
especially
since
the
curb
cut
at
this
location
eliminates
an
on
street
parking
space.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
This
concludes
my
testimony.

proceed
good.

A
L
Afternoon,
my
name
is
Brian
mall
with
the
Philadelphia
water
department,
I'm,
the
assistant
engineering
division
manager.
Concerning
this
bill.
The
water
department
opposes
this
ordinance
for
the
following
reasons.
As
stated
earlier,
there's
a
8
inch
water
main
that
runs
under
the
foot
way
and
underneath
of
the
patio
that
exists
there.
Now
the
water
department's
concern
is
that
changes
to
load
and
grading
changes
has
a
detrimental
effect
to
our
water
mains,
especially
when
the
loads
are
not
consistent
and
with
when
we
have
a
drop-off
in
load.
L
We
put
stresses
on
the
the
ground
and
that
transfers
to
our
water
mains.
Additionally,
where
the
existing
patio
drops
off,
on
the
left
hand,
side,
there
is
a
joint
there,
44,
the
water
main.
We
have
seen
this
type
of
condition
in
the
past,
where
the
water
mains
break
at
these
low
changes,
the
the
classic
example
would
be
Baker's
Basin,
where
loads
were
placed
on
on
the
transmission
lanes
mains
and
they
may
rupture
in.

for

department
good
afternoon,
chairman
Sequoyah,
members
of
the
streets
and
Services
Committee.
My
name
is
Richard
Martinez
I'm,
the
deputy
commissioner
for
transportation,
for
the
deputy
for
department
of
streets
I'm
here
to
offer
testimony
on
build
number
one:
six:
zero,
zero,
two
six,
which
was
introduced
by
Councilman.
N
Art
venues
around
the
city
of
Philadelphia
I
must
acknowledge
that
councilman
Sol's
office
in
the
streets
Department
have
had
prior
meetings
in
the
past.
Regarding
this
issue,
the
department's
trees
has
a
few
concerns
with
dis
ordinance
and
thus
is
opposed.
The
streets
department
provides
permits
for
venues
when
they
are
requested.
Currently,
the
permit
is
$25
per
day
for
a
40-foot
cell,
excluding
use
of
a
loading
zone
drastically
reduces
the
ability
of
a
merchants
in
the
vicinity
to
utilize
the
space,
as
other
loading
zones
currently
allowed.
N
Such
a
condition
would
allow
limited
availability
of
on
street
parking
and,
as
the
zone
will
be
established
for
only
the
venue
most
venues
operate
during
evening
hours
to
lose
all
street
parking
during
an
entire
day
would
generally
impact
merchants
and
local
resident
on
street
parking.
Is
an
access
been
benefiting.
Merchants
residents
provides
opportunity
for
an
affordable
parking
space
to
those
who
cannot
pay
for
private
garages.
The
building
as
proposed,
allows
and
established
an
establishment
to
the
opportunity
for
a
loading
zone
in
the
front
of
their
venue.
N
This
could
be
in
direct
conflict
with
existing
travel
lanes,
causing
additional
burdens
on
already
taxed
roadway
network.
The
elimination
excuse
me,
the
elimination
of
a
travel
lane
within
Center
City
could
potentially
reduce
the
roadway
capacity
by
up
to
50%.
Even
if
the
zone
was
permitted
during
off-peak
hours,
the
closure
could
cause
Britt
lock
in
center
city
proper.
Currently,
the
streets
department
only
allows
closures
of
traveling's
to
occur
with
Police
Department
system.
N
Without
the
support
of
the
full
of
the
police
department
and
the
appropriate
temporary
traffic
control
devices,
the
average
motorist
would
not
be
aware
of
the
restrictions
causing
a
public
safety
hazard.
The
streets
department
would
like
to
have
further
discussions
with
councilman's
office
and
the
parking
authority.
Unfortunately,
we
cannot
so
weirdest
bill,
as
is
written.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
This
concludes
my
testimony.
I
will
be
happy
to
respond
to
any
questions.
A
O
Name
is
David
ivory
good
afternoon,
chairman
scrilla
and
members
of
the
streets
and
services
committee.
It's
my
pleasure
and
honor
to
be
testifying
here
on
bill
1600
to
6
for
the
music
community
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
I'm.
Currently,
among
many
other
things,
the
chairman
of
the
music
industry
task
force.
As
you
may
know,
we
were
challenged
for
the
past
year
with
this
task
force,
to
find
improvements
and
strategies
to
make
the
music
industry
more
vibrant
and
helpful
for
the
next
generation
of
music
makers
in
this
city.
O
As
you
may
already
know,
music
and
its
related
industries,
such
as
managers,
attorneys
booking
agents,
local
venues
that
have
live
original
music
among
many
other
businesses
represents
a
multi-billion
million
dollar
industry
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
But
unfortunately,
as
a
city,
we
don't
provide
the
support.
The
up
for
these
music
makers,
like
other
music
cities
such
as
New
York,
Seattle,
Nashville
and,
of
course,
Los
Angeles.
O
The
music
industry
task
force
identified
many
issues
that
can
change
all
that
some
big
issues
and
some
not
so
big
one
of
the
not
so
big
issues
were
we
identified,
was
access
to
loading
zones
for
musicians.
We
all
realized
the
problems
with
parking
generally
in
the
city,
but
it's
especially
problematic
for
musicians,
as
some
of
you
may
or
may
not
know.
Most
musicians
performing
their
original
music
here
in
the
city
basically
play
for
free
or
for
very
little
compensation.
O
Combine
that
with
getting
a
parking
parking
ticket
while
unloading,
your
equipment
ends
up
costing
them
too
much
money
to
perform.
This
then
discourages
musicians
not
to
play
in
the
city
at
all,
or
at
best
play
much
less
often.
What
seemed
what
seemed
to
come
to
the
rescue
was
Bill,
1600,
6
introduced
in
2014
and
then
later
reintroduced
as
a
pilot
program
in
2016
four
years
later.
Unfortunately,
despite
many
attempts
to
get
this
pilot
program
up
and
running,
we
still
have
had
no
success
in
its
implementation
whatsoever.
O
Today
we
have
various
testimonies
about
specific
problems
from
some
of
the
live
venues
affected
by
lack
of
access
to
loading
zones.
Here
in
the
city,
these
venues
feel
its
most.
It's
the
these
venues
feel
at
the
most
from
both
the
musicians
needing
the
loaning
zone
and
the
city.
Restricting
it
I
urge
council
to
vote
in
favor
of
this
bill,
so
that
venues
who
hire
musicians
will
be
able
to
provide
a
vehicle
to
have
their
gear
loaded
in
and
simply
load
it
out
of
the
venue
without
penalty.
O
This
will
have
a
direct
effect
on
helping
musicians,
earn
more
money
which
creates
in
the
additional
wage
and
income
tax
revenue
for
the
city,
as
well
as
awareness
among
the
music
community
that
the
city
of
Philadelphia
is
supporting
such
a
valuable
natural
resource,
namely
working
musicians
and
the
overall
music
scene.
I
encourage
city
council
to
pass
this
bill
1600
to
6
and
provide
a
bit
of
relief
for
the
self-employed
musician,
making
makers
the
self-employed
music
makers
trying
to
make
a
living
performing
here
in
this
great
music
city
of
Philadelphia
I
concludes.
A
I
Afternoon
my
name
is
Corinna
Connor
I'm,

testimony
today,
currently
a
business
located
within
the
center
city
or
university
city.
Juries
must
pay
a
250
dollar
fee
for
23
feet
of
space
when
a
loading
zone
is
installed
in
front
of
their
place
of
business.
I
If
a
meter
is
to
be
removed,
a
$500
fee
is
then
assessed
in
Center
City
score
such
a
zone
between
fourth
and
20th
Street
in
the
center
city's
core.
The
average
meter
revenue
that
is
generated
from
that
space
is
almost
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year,
though
number
one,

zero
zero
to
six
is
designed
to
Institute
loading
zones
in

of
all
live

venues.
Obviously
this
may
work
in
theory
that
does
not
always
work
when
looking
at
the
location
of
some
of
the
venues
and
the
regulations
currently.
I
In
effect,
when
permissible
loading
zones
are
strategically
placed
near
to
venues
for
accessible
loading
and
unloading.
Unfortunately,
one
or
two
of
the
venues
are
located
when
it's
at
a
street
where
there's
traffic
lane
prohibiting
the
installation
of
a
loading
zone.
Although
the
Authority
fills
in
a
mandated
fee
fee,
free
loading
zone
is
not
always
viable
in
this
census.
The
Authority
welcomes
discussions
on
any
alternatives
on
this
issue.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
councilman
OHS
office,
the
streets
department
and
the
rest
of
Council
staff
to
find
the
alternative
solution
to
this
bill
number.
Thank
you.
A
B
P
Name
is
Jesse
Lundy
I'm,
a
member
of
the
music
industry
task
force
with
David
and
Bernard
Resnick
that
we've
discussed
here.
Thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
us
to
speak
today
and
for
listening.
Remember
the
music
industry
task
force.
One
of
our
many
tasks
this
year
was
to
find
ways
to
make
musicians
happier
in
the
way
they
interacted
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
One
concern
that
was
raised
many
times
is
the
difficulty
of
loading
and
unloading
at
performance
spaces
around
Philadelphia
and
having
ample
time
to
do
so
without
threat
of
a
parking
ticket.
P
It
was
brought
to
our
attention
that
the
streets
department
had
begun
speaking
to
area
venues
about
their
issues
and
needs
the
pilot
program
that
was
mentioned
earlier.
We
were
told
that
a
questionnaire
was
sent
to
venues
and
when,
following
up
with
these,
it
seems
that
the
Trocadero
was
the
only
one
who
actually
had
received
it.
We
spoke
with
joanna
pang
at
the
Trocadero
about
their
concerns,
but
also
branched
out
to
talk
to
other
venues
that
had
been
part
of
this
inquiry.
In
speaking
with
Johnny
Brenda's,
the
Hard
Rock
Cafe,
milk
boy
and
underground
arts.
P
We
collected
some
basic
info
and
suggestions
about
what
we
could
do
in
working
with
the
streets
department
to
improve
the
loading
and
unloading
of
equipment
at
shows.
The
info
is
contained
in
our
annual
report
and
ultimately
included
suggestions
from
milk
boy
and
underground
arts
exclusively.
So,
while
the
pilot
program
covered
a
bunch
of
different
venues,
the
two
that
it
expressed,
the
most
immediate
concern
or
underground
arts
and
milk
boy,
the
other
clubs
felt
that
they
had
a
system
that
worked
in
place
and
thanked
us
for
their
follow
up.
P
P
A
Q
O
David
ivory,
chair
of
the
Music
chair
of
the
music
industry
task
force,
was
kind
enough
to
agree
to
read
and
submit
my
letter
on
my
behalf,
I
write
to
you
today
to
encourage
council
to
pass
bill
1600
to
6
regarding
amendments
to
the
Philadelphia
traffic
code,
amending
chapter
12,
100
and
adding
chapter
12
900
when
I
am
NOT
practicing
law,
I
practice,
double
bass
as
a
professional
musician.
If
you
are
not
aware
of
the
double
bass,
is
essential
instrument
in
most
symphony
orchestra,
jazz
ensembles,
bluegrass
groups
and
rockabilly
bands.
O
This
is
a
fun
and
versatile
instrument
to
play.
However,
the
double
bass
is
immensely
inconvenient
to
transport
due
to
its
large
size,
bulky
shape
and
heavy
weight.
A
typical
double
bass
is
approximately
six
feet.
Tall
three
feet
wide
and
two
feet
deep
with
a
combined
weight
of
the
instrument,
it's
travel
case
and
accessory
necessary
to
play
is
substantial.
This
is
not
the
kind
of
musical
instrument
that
one
can
normally
transport
in
a
taxi
or
by
public
transportation.
O
Double
basses
typically
serve
as
their
own
driver
and
stevedore,
and
we
must
drive
a
large
vehicle,
such
as
station
wagon
or
sports
utility
van
to
accommodate
an
instrument
of
this
size.
I
have
declined.
Many
opportunities
to
play
shows
over
the
past
three
decades,
due
to
the
rehearsal
and
a
performance
venue
not
having
ample
and
nearby
parking,
simply
because
of
the
inconvenience
of
car
turning
my
beloved
instrument
to
and
from
the
venue.
O
If
the
venue
has
a
loading
dock
or
the
ability
of
a
dedicated
parking
space
close
to
the
entrance,
I
am
much
more
likely
to
agree
to
perform.
The
show
one
example
of
such
a
facility
is
the
Robin
Hood
del
East
in
Fairmount
Park,
where
I
have
performed
that
city
sponsored
concerts
given
by
Black
Pearl
Chamber
Orchestra.
This
venue
has
a
loading
dock
and
staff
parking
in
the
back
of
the
stage
area.
O
Excuse
me,
as
well
as
providing
for
loading
and
unloading
zones,
to
allow
easier
access,
/
for
performing
artists
to
load
in
and
load
out
of
live
performing
arts
venues
around
the
city.
This
will
have
an
indirect
effect
of
helping
musicians
or
earn
more
money
which
creates
additional
wage
and
emkin
tax
revenue
for
the
city.
It
will
also
give
Philadelphia
music
fans
a
greater
variety
of
top-class
entertainment
to
enjoy.
Thank
you
for
your
attention.

C
Just
briefly,
I
understand
we're
pressed
for
time
here.
What
I
would
basically
say
is
that
we
have
a
music
industry
task
force
of
really
highly
regarded
people
who
are
awfully
awfully
modest.
Every
month
they
come
in
Grammy
Award
winners,
millions
of
records
sold
working
with
top
entertainers
David
ivory
sitting
over
there.
In
addition
to
the
many
things
he's
done
has
produced
the
roots
hit
albums
many
others.
C
Milk
boy
has
stars
coming
in
often
and
of
course,
Jesse
Lundy
having
started
with
the
electric
factory
concerts
and
others,
but
we
have
many
of
these
people
and
in
some
basically,
the
small
problem
of
parking
is
costing
us
a
lot
of
revenues,
the
attendees,
the
concerts
or
promotions,
the
musicians,
just
the
fact
that
many
musicians
don't
want
to
come
to
our
city
or
bypass
our
city,
let
alone
the
the
the
up-and-coming
artists.
There
are
ways
we
can
work
this
out,
the
streets
department
and
the
parking
authority
has
been
willing
to
work
this
out.
C
A
And
thanks
again
and
I,
think
and
Councilman
is
willing
to
work
with
them
on
this
pilot
and
I
understand
the
streets
and
from
what
I
heard
a
testimony
and
Park
Authority,
there's
also
willing
to
work
with
the
counts,
have
been
on
this
pilot.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
getting
this
pilot
up
and
running
and
hopefully
you
guys
will
be
able
to
help
us
work
out
any
kinks
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
N
Illegal
dumping
is
discarding
ways
larger
than
litter
in
an
improper
and
unlock
and/or
unlawful
manner
where
it
doesn't
belong
and
occurs
on
both
private
and
public
land,
creating
and
environmental
nuisance
to
the
community
and
the
municipality.
Illegal
dumping
is
a
quality
of
life
issue
that
affects
operations
across
many
city
departments.
It
is
constant,
high,
visible
and
mainly
affects
areas
with
higher
population
density.
N
According
to
the
broken
window
theory
at
disorder,
environment,
one
which
is
not
maintained,
broken
windows
graffiti
excess
litter,
since
a
signal
that
the
area
is
not
monitored
and
that
anyone
can
engage
in
criminal
behavior
with
little
risk
of
detection.
The
streets
Department,
along
with
other
city
agencies,
work
together
to
combat
this
problem,
but
the
root
cause
of
this
issue
runs
much
deeper
than
a
simple
contractor
dumping
material
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
In
order
to
understand
the
root
cause,
we
must
examine
factors
that
contribute
to
this
problem.
N
The
most
notable
reasons
are
overcrowding,
multiple
families
living
in
the
single-family
homes,
overcrowding
in
Apartments,
atop
businesses,
in
situations
where
there
are
multiple
families
living
in
housing
met
for
single
families,
trashes,
sometimes
double
or
triple
the
amount
that
would
normally
be
generated
from
the
unit.
This
situation
leads
to
individuals
leaving
trash
on
lots
around
wire
baskets
and
usually
at
the
end
of
the
block
away
from
their
home
contractors.
License
and
unlicensed
contractors
will
leave
materials
in
neglected
areas
where
it
is
less
likely
that
they
will
be
caught
and
or
reported
by
police
or
neighbors.
N
N
Legislation
suggestions,
education
through
the
use
of
social
media
and
our
sweep
officers
and
our
extensive
network
of
block
captains.
We
inform
the
public
of
our
many
programs,
which
include
collection,
services,
household
hazard,
waste
event,
annual
spring
cleanup
and
our
tire
roundup,
program
enforcement,
the
streets
department
uses
strategic
place
cameras
to
combat
illegal
dumping.
We
also
have
ordinances
that
regulate
waste,
man--
attachment
and
mandatory
proof
of
disposal,
agreements
for
construction
sites,
legislation,
legislative
and
regulatory
options.
The
streets
department
continues
to
explore
legislative
changes
and
options
to
prevent
illegal
dumping.
N
We
are
proposing
proof
of
proper
tire
disposal
for
tire
shops.
Applicants
must
from
applicants
for
multiple
and
single-family
dwellings.
Permits
must
provide
a
plan
to
ensure
occupants
have
adequate
storage
space
for
trash
until
trash
day.
This
bill
sponsored
by
County
Councilman
president
Clark
would
increase
the
penalty
for
violation
of
the
codes
for
prohibiting
prohibitions
on
placing
DeVries
and
another
person's
property
without
their
permission
short
dumping
to
a
maximum
fine
of
$25,000,
with
a
fine,
no
less
than
$2,000.
N
While
we
wholeheartedly
support
the
premises
of
this
of
the
bill,
which
is
to
prevent
illegal
dumping
and
to
send
a
message,
we
understand
that
legally,
a
court
will
be
limited
in
imposing
a
fine
over
$2000
for
this
type
of
violation.
In
conclusion,
a
change
in
culture
is
needed
in
order
for
this
plan
to
be
suitable,
illegal
dumping
is
a
challenge
for
many
cities
across
the
country.
The
streets
department
works
to
solve
this
problem
with
many
city
agencies,
mainly
clip
the
Police
Department
and
license
and
inspection.
This
is
an
ongoing
fight
and
truly
solve
this
problem.
N
A
Thank
you.
You
mentioned
that
cameras.
Is
that
something
we're
going
to
expand
to
for
some
of
our
hardest
hit
sites
where
we
have
constant
dumping
to
be
able
to
use
those
cameras,
and
if
we
do
have
cameras
at
those
locations
was
with
that
video
be
enough
to
be
able
to
issue
a
fine
on
the
violator,
yeah.
N
A
A
Counselor
no
want
to
put
drone
cameras
out
there,
any
other
questions.
Seeing
none
is
there
anyone
else
here.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
testimony
is
there
anyone
else
here
to
testify
on
bill
number
one:
eight
zero,
seven,
two
nine
seeing
none!
That
will
end
our
hearing,
though
now
go
into
Street
Services
Committee
and
Councilman
Greenlee
Thank.
