We
are
using
Microsoft's
teams
to
make
these
remote
hearings
possible
instructions
for
how
the
public
made
is
now
exiting
public
testimony
and
public
hearings
of
council
committees
are
included
and
the
public
hearing
notices
that
are
published
in
The
Daily,
News
Inquirer
legal
Intelligencer
prior
to
the
hearings,
and
you
can
also
be
found
on
phl
council
calm.
Oh
I
know
that
the
hour
has
come
mister
stick.
Would
you
please
call
the
roll
to
take
attendance
members
that
are
in
attendance?
Will
please
indicate
it's
your
president
also.
A
A
A
I
A
B
Before
we
died
into
what
I'm
sure
will
be
very
informative
session,
I'd
like
to
say
a
few
words
about
today's
process,
the
pandemic
has
changed.
The
world
includes
this
council,
so
we're
not
in
the
same
room
and
it's
been
difficult,
but
we're
getting
a
little
better
at
this
and
I
want
to
thank
our
party
and
all
the
support
system.
Please.
B
I
understand
that
we've
actually
exceeded
the
projections
in
terms
of
people
applying
for
the
for
the
ballot,
so
I
want
to
say
kudos
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia
citizens
and
as
for,
but
we
do
have
to
get
those
process,
so
they
need
to
be
out
of
here
relatively
soon
and,
if
need
be,
you
can
call
them
back.
We
have
a
couple
of
days
later
in
the
process.
B
B
So
we
have
time
in
these
hearings
and
we're
used
to
a
lot
less
time.
So
we
need
to
be
modeled
it
and
I'm
going
to
thank
everybody
for
working
with
us
to
ensure
that
we
good
as
best
possible
enough
information
out
enough
questions
as
not
necessarily
the
number
that
we
like
and
again.
We
will
have
an
opportunity
for
call
back
later
on
and
our
budget
process,
but
we
do
have
a
time
frame.
B
So,
there's
a
lot
to
cover
and
time
permits
we
want
to
get
started
so
awkward
around
on.
We
were
asked
individuals
or
preferred
met.
Ask
the
individuals
responding
to
please
make
their
response
as
clear
and
concise
that
we
can
get
as
much
in
as
possible.
So
thank
you
very
much.
So
we
can
get
started.

as

said
earlier.
We

get
them

so
they
can
go
back
and
take
care.
Our
voting
ballot
election
again
keep
emphasizing
this,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
do
have
time

a
good
additional
question.
We
will
be
in
a
position
to
have

B

K
K
Good
morning,
president
Clark
matter
of
business
City
Council
I'm,
Commissioner,
Lisa
Deeley
chairwoman
of
the
city
commissioners
joining
me
today.
Our
Commissioner
is
outfit
and
our
newest
colleague
Commissioner
Omar
Sabir
Deputy,
Commissioner
Snickers.
Oh,
do
team
engineers
and
Budget
Officer
Lisa
Coleman
I
have
provided
written
testimony
on
the
office
of
the
city
commissioners,
fiscal
year,
2021
operating
budget.
K
To
summarize,
the
proposed
fiscal
year,
2021
general
fund
budget
totals
twelve
million,
two
hundred
twenty
nine
thousand
six
hundred
ninety
one
dollars
which
founds
our
department
at
fiscal
year
twenty
levels.
This
is
a
decrease
of
ten
million,
two
hundred
forty
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
and
forty-four
dollars.
From
our
original
proposed
budget.
K
The
last
fiscal
year
we
have
had
significant
increases
in
our
operating
costs,
primarily
due
to
the
recent
passage
of
act
77
of
2019
and
at
12
2020.
It
continued
work
associated
with
implementing
a
new
voting
system
and
the
increased
workload
due
to
the
presidential
general
election
occurring
in
the
second
quarter
of
fiscal
year.
21.
We
understand
that
the
newly
proposed
budget
is
a
covert
budget
and
that's
the
city
is
unsure
of
what
revenue
will
look
like
and
what
financial
resources
will
be
coming
from
the
state
and
federal
governments.
K
Please
know
that
the
course
of
running
elections
has
dramatically
increased,
more
likely
you're
21.
Therefore,
we
would
like
to
ask
that
you
please
consider
revisiting
our
budget
in
the
first
or
second
quarter
of
FY
21,
when
more
information
about
the
city's
fiscal
health
is
known.
The
new
law
creates
an
entirely
new
and
separate
method
of
voting.
All
in
many
ways
it
is
similar
to.
K
K
An
opportunity
to
exercise
their
right
to
vote
from
the
safety
of
their
own
homes
to
further
allows
for
voters
to
stay
home.
We
provided
prepaid
return
postage,
so
they
do
not
have
to
go
out
and
buy
stamps
the
deadline
to
apply
with
for
an
absentee
or
mail-in
ballot.
Today,
at
5:00
p.m.
so
far,
we
have
processed
206
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy-six
absentee
and
Mail
and
applications
for
comparison
purposes.
We
received
sixteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
one
applications
for
the
24
2012
general
15,000
887
for
the
2016
General
and
5740
to
2016.
K
Primary
I
would
like
to
thank
council
president
Clark
and
all
the
members
of
council
who
worked
with
us
to
provide
radio
ads
to
promote
the
before
mail
option
for
the
primary
over
30
times.
Increase
in
applications
from
four
years
ago
has
exceeded
what
our
staff
can
do
on
our
own,
but
but
thanks
to
additional
staffing
assistance
from
Council
the
County
Administration.
If
the
first
Judicial
District
the
parking
authority,
the
sheriff
the
controller
and
the
district
attorney,
we
have
been
able
to
keep
up
with
the
demand.
K
However,
if
there
is
a
fall,
Kovac
spike
applications
for
the
general
election
might
exceed
400
to
500
thousand
those
four
ways
to
process
them
timely.
In
addition
to
the
mail
we
have
set
up
a
ballot
drop
box
outside
our
City
Hall
office
and
are
working
with
district
accounts
council
members
for
primary
day
drop-off
locations
in
each
council
district.
This
is
an
effort
to
get
as
many
ballots
returned
to
us
by
the
ATM
June
2nd
deadline.
You
also
had
to
consolidate
the
polling
places
for
the
June
2nd
primary.
K
Instead
of
800
polling
places
we
had
last
November.
We
will
have
190
locations
on
June,
the
second.
We
will
be
sending
a
postcard
to
every
Buddhist
household
with
their
polling
location
from
newspapers
this
week
and
the
poll
in
our
polling
place.
Finder
app
on
our
website
has
been
updated.
Those
who
choose
to
vote
in
person
can
go
to
places
calm
in
their
address
to
find
their
polling
place.
K
In
addition
for
the
additional
expenses
due
to
act,
77
and
I
12
implementation
of
a
new
voting
system
has
added
significant
ongoing
cost
in
material
shipping
and
labor
costs.
For
instance,
just
the
new
paper
ballots,
one
hundred
ninety
thousand
dollars
a
year
at
the
under
night
requires
reading
150
vehicles
and
engaging
personnel
on
multiple
city
departments
did
not
have
to
do
with
the
re
machines.
K
Additional
staff
at
the
warehouse
they
ship
in
a
different
manner
than
the
diners,
so
our
shipping
costs
have
increased.
That
was
a
big
change.
From
the
last
fiscal
year
we
had
a
successful
rollout
of
the
new
voting
system
with
the
voter
verifiable
paper
ballot.
This
success
was
that
for
the
hard
work
of
hundreds
of
city
employees
across
multiple
whole
city
departments
leading
up
to
last
year's
general
election,
our
department,
thousands
of
over
800
educational
events
and.
K
Could
be
prepared
as
possible
to
transition
to
the
new
paper-based
voting
system.
I
know
there
were
some
who
questioned
the
rush
to
debate
to
debut
this
new
system
in
November.
We
were
very
fortunate
that
we
did
imagine
the
chaos
of
trying
to
implement
a
new
voting
system
in
a
presidential
year
and
during
a
pandemic
during
Iggy's
unprecedented
times
managing
a
presidential
election
year.
K
B
Understanding
the
deadlines
and
being
able
to
get
the
balance
back
out
understanding
there
is
a
lag
between
the
applications
and
the
ballot
actually
being
sent
to
the
individual.
Then
subsequently,
that
individual
advocate
in
the
Dropbox,
and
thank
you
for
adding
that
feature,
and
the
other
question
is
leading
up
to
November,
which
is
clearly
we
don't
have
to
say
why.
B
K
Thank
You
council
president,
so
as
of
the
close
of
business
yesterday,
every
ballot
was
ready
to
go
out
to
the
voters.
We
had
everything
was
complete
opposite
close
of
business.
Yesterday
as
we
speak
today,
we
are
waiting
for
the
mail
delivery
which
we
anticipate
will
have
it
hit
with
a
lot
of
additional
paper
applications
and
with
the
additional
help
that
the
other
departments
have
provided
us.
We
are
confident
to
get
those
applications
process.
K
K
K
B
Continued
to
move
towards,
whatever
phase
will
possibly
free
up
additional
locations
voting
machines,
so
we
don't
have
to
consolidate
those
from
800
to
200.
My
sumption
is
that
a
lot
of
these
consolidations
were
based
on
availability
of
the
traditional
polling
places,
so
that
might
be
debt
will
be
able
to
change
that
whole
scenario.
K
Precisely
what
we
had
to
consolidate
our
polling
locations
due
to
the
unavailability
of
a
lot
of
the
locations
that
were
typically
used,
because
we
are
in
a
shutdown
and
in
addition
we
consolidated
because
of
that
shutdown
and
the
risk
of
the
virus.
We
have
not.
You
know
we
lost
a
lot
of
our
co-workers,
but
we
are
as
long
as
everybody
I
think
on
this
fall
that
we
will
be
able
to
stand
up
an
election
in
a
familiar
way
that
Philadelphians
are
used
to
come
November.
Thank.
F
Good
morning,
commissioners,
thank
you
for
the
work
you've
been
doing
and
trying
to
information
out
for
people
to
do.
Mail-In
voting
I
know
the
city
commissioners
office
received
dollars
from
governor
wolf,
I'm
curious
and
reference
to
conversation.
You've
been
having
with
some
of
your
other
county
commissioners
that
in
the
fall
they're
going
to
be
a
much
more
increased
important
to
number
of
people.
K
F
Association
really
concerned
about
this
issue.
It
may
make
sense
sometime
once
we
get
past
the
election,
all
the
bowels
accounted
for.
Some
type
of
an
ounce
is
done,
we're
going
to
counties
across
the
Commonwealth
and
then
reaching
back
out
to
Governor
wolf
for
reference
to
request
additional
money.
I
know
they're
doing
an
interim
or
happier
budget,
so
that
may
be,
and
they
make
sense
consider
many
more
people
will
come
out
in
the
fall.
Thank
you
counts.
President
Thank
You
councilman.
E
Morning,
thank
you
so
much
council
president
and
thank
you
so
much
to
the
commissioners
for
all
of
your
work
and
for
your
partnership
in
helping
us
get
the
word
out
to
our
constituents
with
all
the
information
you
have
provided,
but
also
prior
to
coded
for
your
partnership
with
my
office
and
ensuring
that
we
can
take
the
new
election
system
out
to
all
the
faith-based
organizations
on
a
weekly
basis.
But
I
have
a
very
quick
question
relative
to
vote-by-mail
applications.
B
D
You
council
president
good
morning,
commissioners,
thank
you
for
all
of
your
hard
work
in
making
sure
that
this
election
goes
well,
given
the
speculation
that
we
could
have
a
potential
second
wave
of
this
virus.
What
is
the
likelihood
that
we
could
send
the
actual
ballots
to
every
voter
to
ensure
that
everyone
can
vote
safely
and
that
they
don't
have
to
their
health
to
participate
in
our
election.
M
Commissioners
and
thank
you,
council
president
first,
let
me
start
to
by
saying
a
special
thank
you
to
all
of
our
commissioners.
Dear
Lisa,
V
Schmidt,
for
all
of
the
work
that
you
have
done,
I
mean
you
guys
were
thrown
into
this
opposed
baptism
by
fire.
You've
done
everything
that
you
could
possibly
could
to
rise
to
the
occasion.
I
want
to
commend
you,
along
with
your
teams,
because
we've
been
calling,
but
when
we
call
you've
been
answering
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
M
I
want
to
start
with
this
Councilwoman
Gilmore
Richardson
already
asked
the
question
about
potential
email
and
the
applications
of
postage
prepaid
in
a
fall.
Councilwoman
Gontier
just
asked
the
question
about
mailing
the
ballots
and
what
that
would
take
with
that
being
said,
I've
got
to
ask
you
because
I've
communicated
to
you
on
numerous
occasions.
M
It
is
impossible
for
anyone
to
look
at
the
number
of
vote
by
mail
applications
that
the
city
of
Philadelphia
has
received
and
not
look
through
them
from
ador'd
disparity
lens
and
when
I
say
disparity,
lens
I'm,
talking
about
across
the
board
I'm
talking
about
social
and
economic
status,
I'm
talking
about
race
and
then
this
digital
divide
that
are
relative
to
technology,
that
is,
that
is
all
of
a
sudden
sweats
across
the
city.
It's
digging
us
in
public
education
with
the
number
of
students
that
are
getting
access
to
online
education.
M
It's
digging
small
businesses
that
didn't
have
the
technical
capacity
to
apply
for
applications,
and
now
it's
digging.
Voters
right
who
may
not
want
be
as
a
savvy
relative
to
technical
use
and
or
have
immediate
access
to
the
technology
at
hand.
With
that
being
said,
I
want
to
ask
you
what
innovative
and
creative
strategies
do
you
think
that
we
will
be
able
to
come
up
with
between
now
and
the
general
similar
to
the
pickup
locations
that
we
are
doing
now?
And
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
One
for
council
district.
M
M
That
have
been
sent
in
the
numbers
are
alarming,
so
I'm
just
raising
a
red
flag
to
say:
we've
got
to
get
through
this
primary
and
you've
done
everything
you
can
and
we're
here
to
partner
with
you
and
go
to
battle
with
you
for
more
of
resources.
But
we
have
to
have
a
strategy
to
address
these
disparities
in
any
comments
you
have
and
how
we
can
help.
Not
us
telling
you
what
you
should
be
doing,
but
you
telling
us
what's
the
best
way
you
think
city
council
can
assist
you
in
this
map.
M
A
M
We
do
have
what
polling
places
will
be
selected.
Please
use
us
Council
members,
all
the
elected,
so
that
we
can
have
some
sort
of
voice
or
recommendations
that
we
can
provide
to
you
in
events
of
your
work,
but
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
you.
What
an
awesome
job
that
you
have
done
during
the
Sun.
G
Good
morning,
commissioners
I
want
to
echo
my
colleagues
all
who
have
thanked
you
for
being
so
receptive
on
the
phone
for
being
available
and
answering
all
the
questions
that
I've
been
texting
at
all
hours
and
weekends.
We
really
really
appreciate
it.
I
had
a
couple
of
very
quick
questions.
One
there
have
been
a
number
of
constituents
who
have
reached
out
about
that.
They
fail.
They
failed
to
you
put
in
their
mail-in
ballot
accurately.
So,
for
example,
they
fail
to
use
the
security
envelope.
G
Do
we
know
what
actually
happens
when
those
like
when
they
you're
right
now,
you're
running
right
up
against
the
deadline.
So,
like
you
know,
if
you
see
those
kinds
ballots
come
in,
are
those
then
invalidated
like,
for
example,
they
can't
request
a
new.
They
could
request
a
new
ballot
today.
They've
had
time
to
do
that,
but
are
there
ballots
than
invalidated,
and
would
they
be
informed
of
that.
K
K
G
K
It
is,
it
is
my
intention,
because
this
was
such
a
unique
election
cycle
and
with
the
many
layers
and
the
many
challenges
that
we've
witnessed
at
every
turn,
to
have
like
a
debrief
so
that
we
can
take
stock
of
decisions
that
we
made
that
were
good
and
the
decisions
that
we
made,
that
maybe
weren't
so
good
where
we
could
improve.
And
certainly
we
will
look
to
all
of
our
colleagues
and
council
to
help
us
in
the
event
that
we
would
have
to
do
this
again
in
November.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
commissioner,
and
then
my
last
question.
With
the
you
know,
you
have
a
marginal
increase.
I
think
there
was
something
like
a
million
dollar
a
lot
in
or
something
that
barely
covers.
Some
of
the
needs
that
you
have
going
on.
You
are
not
only
you
know.
This
budget
session
not
only
covers
the
November
20
2011,
which
is
highly
critical,
but
also
the
following
May
primary:
do
you
what
are
things
that
you
think
will
or
will
not
get
done?
G
C
Just
wanted
to
say
that
I
just
wanted
to
rewind
a
little
bit
because
last
year,
at
this
time
there
was
a
lot
of
criticism
for
the
commissioners
for
the
machines
that
were
chosen
and
that
criticism
of
my
opinion
was
really
misplace.
I
thought
that
the
focus
really
should
have
been
and
still
should
be
in
light
of
the
situation
that
we're
in
now
the
focus
really
should
have
been
on
a
statewide
process
and
selection
and
I.
C
Think
that
questions
confusion,
issues
across
the
board
could
have
been,
and
you
know
just
across
county
lines,
no
matter
what
part
of
the
Commonwealth
that
you're
in
and
so
I
just
really
wanted
to
think
that
again,
that
you
know
I
think
the
machines
themselves
were
not
the
issue.
The
issue
was
really
the
process
and
that
we
should
have
been
able
to
rely
on
Harrisburg
to
really
help
us.
C
You
know
in
terms
of
making
a
selection,
but
now
here
we
are
and
as
we
get
ready
for
next
week,
I've
heard
a
couple
of
different
that
my
question
is:
was
a
couple
of
different
ways,
but
I'm
not
really
sure
that
that
I
got
the
answer.
I
was
looking
for
and
the
question
really
is
you
know,
post
June,
2nd,
you
know
a
strategy
to
avoid
the
onslaught
of
mail-in
ballots.
So
just
you
know
from
your
earlier
statement,
you
suggested
that
you
throw
it
that
come
November.
C
K
K
The
opportunity
to
vote
early
in
a
way
because
they
could
go
to
they
can
come
and
apply
for
no
excuse
me
Alan
Balan,
and
get
that
ballot
on
the
spot
and
vote
and
that
hopefully,
will
take
a
burden
away
from
Thailand.
All
the
way
on
out
come
in.
You
know
through
the
Postal
Service
all
at
once,
and
also
help
with
Councilwoman
partners,
valid
concerns
and
comments,
because
that
would
enable
us
to
get
into
the
communities
be.
K
You
know
before
election
talk
about
the
opportunity
you
doing
no
excuse
mail
and
ballot
talk
about
the
opportunity
for
voters
to
vote
before
Election
Day
early
voting
center
or
vote
Center
for
mail-in
ballots
with
no
excuse.
We
had
started
down
that
road
looking
at
locations
that
we
could
have
throughout
the
city
and
have
people
come
in
in
churches
and
organizations
bring
people
in
to
apply,
but
unfortunately
the
virus.
You
know,
stymied
all
those
plans
and
efforts,
so
hopefully
I
will
have
an
opportunity
to
see
act
77
in
its
full
potential.
N
N
K
Thank
You
Councilwoman,
so
that's
a
great
question
and
and
not
as
being
a
passion
of
mine
since
being
elected.
You
know
getting
the
word
out
through
our
young
people
about
the
importance
of
voting
and
getting
them
to
start
early
and
hopefully
be
participants
in
the
process
as
they
as
they
grow
older.
We
did
start
a
student
poll
worker
program
and
that
we
piloted
it
and
you
know
we
have
and
emic
so
and
the
schools
are
closed.
K
So
it's
been
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge,
but
we
hope
to
really
roll
that
out
again
for
the
November
general,
actually,
where
we
know
that
we'll
have
much
more
interest
from
our
young
people
any
general
election
and
certainly
provide
an
opportunity
for
young
people
seventeen-year-olds
to
work.
The
polls
with
us
on
Election
Day,
I
partnered,
with
John
and
the
school
district
and
other
organizations
to
do
all
that
we
can
Millennials
in
action
and
several
different
organizations
and
in
trying
to
get
young
people
involved
in
the
process.
K
N
K
B
J
Good
morning,
I
just
want
to
start
by
echoing
the
sentiments
of
my
colleagues
and
commending
the
commissioners
for
the
great
work
they're
doing
as
well
as
the
opportunity
to
partner
which
you
want
a
number
of
different
occasions.
I
too
appreciate
all
you've
done
and
I
just
have
a
few
questions.
I
know
you
have
to
go
so
I
don't
want
to
be
too
long.
J
My
first
question
I
just
want
to
start
back
where
my
colleague
Katherine
councilmember,
Katherine
Gilmore
Richardson,
spoke
tools
specifically
about
the
2
million
dollar
estimate,
as
it
related
to
milling
everybody
about
it,
I'm
wondering
from
a
logistics
perspective
and
I.
Don't
need
an
actual
number,
because
I
I
know
you
just
be
asked
to
be
logistic
perspective.
J
I'm
wondering
your
thoughts
on
if
we
were
to
only
mail,
a
ballot,
so
people
who
requested
it
in
a
primary
and
people
who
actually
voted
in
a
primary,
so
that
will
maybe
limit
the
number
of
ballots
that
we
we
send
out
possibly
and
have
if
we
were
to
just
go
for
people
who
are
already
moving
about,
and
people
who
already
voted.
One
is
wondering
your
thoughts
on
that
and
logistically
do
you
think
that
would
be
a
little
more
feasible
for
the
Commissioner's
Office
to
accomplish.
J
When
you
set
up
early
voting
centers,
do
we
approximately
how
much
does
it
cost
us
to
set
up
our
early
voting
center,
and
do
you
think
that
increasing
the
number
of
early
voting
centers,
leading
to
the
general
election
would
help
with
some
of
the
logistical
issues
you
have
and
after
that,
I
am
done?
Thank
you
and
thank
you.
Thank
You
counsel
present
as
well.
Thank.
K
I'm
going
to
answer
the
second
here
for
that
myself
and
then
I
forests.
Of
course,
I.
Don't
really
know
that
we
have
any
estimated
costs.
If
we
do,
deputy
Castillo
will
answer,
but
certainly
I
believe
that
if
we
are
able
to
have
some
of
these
locations
throughout
the
city
in
various
communities,
it
will
give
us
a
unique
opportunity
to
engage
with
people
before
Election
Day
get
people
signed
up
and
voted
already,
and
that
would
have
it
could
have
the
potential
of
drastically
limiting
the
number
of
paper
applications
that
we
get
in
the
mail.
O
That
they
have
received
emails
or
noses
that
Mellon
ballots
have
been
received
and
recorded,
but
then
they
get
another
email
saying
that
your
bow
has
been
rejected
because
of
duplication.
Is
there
a
way
we
could
get
an
answer
for
them
on
how
that
works
and
whether
somebody
try
to
input
it
twice
or
can
we
just
email
directly
to
McClure
or
you
Lisa
Thank.
K
You
councilman
yeah,
so
my
office
is
open
every
day.
We're
here.
The
stones
have
been
a
real
challenge
for
us.
Just
this
morning,
I
had
over
400
voicemails
on
just
my
phone
in
the
office
so
and
the
phones
continue
in
the
ring.
So
getting
to
the
voicemails
has
been
a
unique
team
effort
with
council,
Commissioner,
suvir's
office
staff
and
my
office
there
just
calling
people
back
day
after
day
trying
to
get
all
that
information.
K
But
of
course
you
can
email
me
email
anybody
go
on
my
team
and
give
that
information
out
to
any
of
your
constituents.
You
may
be
calling
there
are.
There
is
some
issue
with
the
duplicate
that
may
be
related
to
the
Swart
system,
and
then
there
are
other
issues
where
people
may
have
forgotten
that
they
applied
or
the
time
that
they
applied
was
so
long
ago.
L
B
Thank
you
all
for
your
questions
and
thank
you,
commissioners,
for
your
responses.
We're
gonna,
let
you
guys
go
so
you
can
get
those
applications
process
still
waiting
for
mine
in
the
mail.
I
understand
it's
a
very,
very
lengthy
process
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
getting
much
more
significant
response
than
we
anticipated.
So
that's
a
good
thing,
but
thank
you
all
and
thank
you
for
your
testimony.
We
look
forward
to
talking
to
you
after
this
is
all
over
to
see
what
we
can
help
you
do
to
improve
this
process.
Thank
you.
B
And
next
up
will
be
having
the
management
directors
office
you'll.
Let
us
know
when
you
guys
are
ready
ready.
When
you
are
sir
ready.
Okay,
we
don't
have
to
wait
for
everybody
to
walk
out
of
the
room
and
walk
in
the
room
to
testify
in
the
council
chambers,
and
this
is
a
very
small
transition,
so
I'm
gonna
stay
I've
been
happy.
You
can
please
proceed
with
your
testimony.
We
generally
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
so
much
baby.
Thank.
P
You,
sir,
and
good
morning,
president
Clark
and
members
of
City
Council,
I'm,
Bryan,
Abernathy,
managing
director
and
joining
me
today.
A
number
of
members
of
my
senior
staff,
as
well
as
senior
staff
members
from
the
department's
of
streets,
parks
and
recreation,
free
library,
licenses
and
inspections,
the

of
homeless
services,
the
office
of
emergency
management,
the
office
of
transportation,
infrastructure
and
sustainability,
as
well
as
from
septa
I,
wanted
to
touch
on
major
changes
in
the
newly
proposed
budget
quickly
for
each
of
those
departments.
P
In
the
managing
directors
office,
we
are
meeting
a
number
of
existing
in
bacon,
including
the
originally
proposed
opioid
response
unit
staffing,
we're
also
proposing
reduction
of
the
Animal
Care

Control
team
professional
service
contract
reduction
of
the
transportation
and
infrastructure
professional
services
contracts
related
to

The
elimination
of

which
will
be
restructured
and
integrated
into
the
group
violence
intervention
strategy.
P
We
touched
the
targeted
community
investment
grant
program
budget
which
provides
grants
to
community-based
organizations
and
find
the
reduction
of
legal
services
contract
with
the
defenders
Association
as
well
as
some
decreases
in
class
of
300-400
in
the
department
of
streets.
They
have
completely
deferred
the
citywide
expansion
and
mechanical
street
cleaning
and
eliminated
a
number
of
programs,
including
future
track
and
Philadelphia
beautiful
that
do
not
contribute
to
recommended
services.
P
Has
consolidated
zero
waste
and

cabinet
within

and
they're,
structured,
sustainability's,
climate

resiliency
focus
to
reduce
and
delaying

have
been
significantly
reduced
in
a
solar
rebate.
Program

been
illuminated
and
funds
for
efficiency
program,
efficiency,
improvements
to
municipal
facilities
have
been
shaped
down
in
parks
and
recreation.
P
There
are
reduced
operating
hours
and
a
number
of
our
recreation
centers.
We
eliminated
a
number
of
part-time
and
seasonal
positions,
and
the
dell
season
will
not
happen.
This
season
and
pools
will
not
open
the
season.
At
the
free
library
we
have
moved
to
five-day
service
that
are
on
the
branches
and
eliminated
part-time
and
seasonal
positions.
At
the
office
of
homeless
services,
general
fund
has
been
reduced
by
twelve
point.
P
Nine
and
those
expenses
have
been
charged
to
the
new
emergency
shelter
grant
program
and
a
small
number
of
positions
were
also
eliminated
and
finally,
in
licenses
and
inspections,
the
department's
public
demolition
program
will
be
slightly
reduced.
Project
and
Lycians
for
FY
21
have
been
reduced
from
450
down
to
375.
A
small
number
of
unfilled
plans.
Review
and
inspectional
positions
are
being
eliminated
with
no
impact
in
the.
A
B
B
Staff
and
a
couple
quick
questions
about
the
end
deals
office
in
om
and
you
guys
essentially
been
at
the
center
of
this
whole
response
to
the
coded
19
issue.
I
know
that,
as
we
moved
to
this
process,
I
know
mayor
council,
we've
shifted
our
response
to
one
different
advertisement
zooms
and
now
we're
moving
the
budget
process,
and
so
in
terms
of
the
process.
B
Well,
you
won't
be
shifting
your
role
and
I've
seen
a
little
bit
of
that
focused
and
you
just
kind
of
quickly
talked
to
me
about
the
shift
in
your
responsibilities
and
how
you
will
strategize
as
you
move
along
and
then
add
it
to
that
question.
I'm
gonna,
ask
you
what
your
role
will
be
in
the
economic
recovery
aspect
of
what
we
need
to
do
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Certainly,.
P
Getting
someone
in
that
group
and
I
apologize
now
that
unified
command
group
met
daily,
twice
twice
a
day
to
talk
through
what
happened
and
what
initial
responses
needed
to
be
made,
and
so,
as
we
looked
at,
say,
the
initial
response
of
standing
up
the
Liacouras
Center.
Those
decisions
were
made.
The
unified
command
group
under
incident
command,
Mayor,
often
sat
in
on
those
as
well
and
so
was,
was
aware,
as
we
made
those
decisions
that
unified
command
group
has
continued
to
me.
P
Although
our
focus
is
not
as
much
on
operations,
and
so
we
are
still
tracking
personal
protective
equipment,
we're
still
tracking
fatality
management
or
still
tracking
the
usage
of
hospital
beds
in
in
throughout
our
system,
but
we
are
now
also
focused
on
reopening.
What
does
what
precautions
do
we
need
to
take?
What
levels
do
we
need
to
hit
in
order
to
move
from
red,
to
green
red,
to
yellow,
yellow
to
green?
What
what
precautions
do
businesses
need
to
use
more
business
guidance?
P
Do
we
need
to
provide,
and
then
how
does
our
recovery
committee
begin
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
most
out
of
our
financial
recovery
and
make
sure
we
don't
leave
any
dollars
on
the
table
as
it
relates
to
carers
and
to
Stafford?
Act
money
continues
and
certainly
is
now
exiting
and
again
that
unified
command
group
is
a
cross-section
of
agencies.
It's
not
while
the
emergency
met
office
of
emergency
management,
certainly
staffs
that
group
and
provides
again
facilitation
and
staff
support.
P
B
My
next
question,
which
was
maximising
state
and
federal
resources
that
could
be
available,
so
you
guys
an
OEM
I
guess
particular
as
it
relates
to
early
phases,
will
make
sure
that
hat
during
the
course
of
all
of
this
and
we've
never
been
through.
Anything
like
this
before
knees
head
starts
and
stops,
as
relates
to
the
relationship
between
the
council
and
the
and
the
legislative
and
executive
branch,
and
from
time
there
had
to
be
a
request
for
briefings
and
information.
B
As
we
move
towards
the
recovery
phase,
have
you
given
any
thought
to
having
any
more
inclusive
type
of
relationship
with
counsel,
because
we've
been
asked
to
step
to
the
plate
and
passed
legislation
and
a
timely
way
on
whatever
we
had
to
do
and
in
all
honesty,
and
it
gets
a
very
public
way.
We
would
like
to
see
more
inclusive
process.
B
Here,
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
in
terms
of
cuts
and
I
know
that
the
police,
we're
obviously
keeping
hold
of
mayor,
has
said.
I've
heard
him
on
a
number
of
occasions.
He
wants
to
make
sure
that
we
stand
up
education
and
we
stand
up
Public,
Safety
and
I'm
all
for
that,
but
particularly
on
the
public
safety
side,
there
are
underlying
issues
that
we've
talked
about
for
a
long
long
time.
B
P
B
This
issue
about
bonds,
produc,
BIOS
prevention
office,
there's
a
clear
relationship.
This
is
your
own
poverty
or
there's
a
clear
relationship
so
and
I
know:
I,
don't
know
what
role
you
play
in
terms
of
the
operating
side
of
it,
but
just
want
to
say
that
there's
a
concern
that
if
you
don't
stand
up
the
phone
side,
I
think
the
back
side
gets
worse.
Not
better.
Can
you
just
kind
of
talk
to
me
anymore
in
the
end
DA's
office
be
responsible
for
to
do
this?
You
are
thank
you.
P
So
on
violence,
prevention,
specifically
I'll
start
there
I
we've
tried
to
maintain
our
investments
in
group.
Violence
intervention,
as
well
as
in
the
community
crisis.
Intervention
program
to
programs
that
are
evidence-based
on
hand
have
shown
and
in
the
case
of
CCIP,
have
shown
some
early
indications
of
making
progress
before
hope
in
nineteen
hit.
And
so
would
you
believe
those
investments
will
be
continued.
P
Think
we've
also
recognized
that
we're
going
to
need
to
do
more
on
the
office
of
adult
education
and
specifically
around
digital
access
and
digital
literacy,
and
so
my
staff
on
chief
of
staff,
the
policy
director
for
the
mayor's
office
and
others
are
talking
through
exactly
what
does
that
look
like
in
the
future.
But
we
do
recognize
that
the
we
are
going
to
need
to
stand
up
those
functions
and
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
those
services
to
our
constituents
and
our
residents
in
a
way
that
that
the
current
proposal
doesn't
do
so.
B
B
It
is
still
essential
that
you
know
we
make
sure
people
have
a
reasonable
place
to
live
still
essential,
that
we
make
the
police
department's
job
a
lot
easier
by
having
less
people
finding
themselves
in
the
critical
path
towards
interaction
with
the
police
and
the
criminal
justice
system.
So
as
we
move
ahead
through
this
very
truncated
process,
ie
fiscal
21
budget-
we
want
to
have
it
more
conversation
whenever
we
can
break
off
time
to
talk
about
how
we
strategize
a
timeline
and
I.
Believe
next
up
is
councilman
Jones.
I
Thank
You,
mr.
president
and
I'm
sure
you
will
share
this
point
of
view
with
me,
the
managing
director
we
claimed
him.
He
originally
came
from
City
Council
in
member
de
Chico's
office,
and
it's
almost
like
watching
one
of
your
younger
cousins
grow
up
in
front
of
guys
and
I
want
to
give
you
an
to
more,
in
particular,
a
shout
out,
because
this
wave
of
pandemic
I
watched
every
single
briefing
from
the
federal
White
House
to
Jersey
to
Pennsylvania.
I
I
Know
so
so
one
of
the
things
just
as
why,
mr.
president,
the
man
has
cancelled
all
of
its
season,
except
for
two
concerts
that
they
are
holding
out
a
one.
It
is
the
whole
adults
concert
in
September
and
then
the
roots
concert
in
August
has
yet
to
be
determined,
and
a
lot
of
that
will
be
determined
by
some
of
the
questions
about
today.
I
The
first
thing
I
guess
I
want
to
talk
about,
is
you've
had
to
build
a
plane
and
fly
it
at
the
same
time.
You
didn't
get
a
manual
handed
to
you
to
do
this,
but
what
I
want
to
focus
on
and
drill
down?
One
is
places
like
the
complex
msb
city
hall
and
the
Justice
Center.
How
are
you
reshaping
social
distance
in
to
keep
the
public
see,
but
also
folk,
like
people
who
work
for
City,
Council
and
other
departments
safe,
and
what
does
that
mean
by
the
way
of
physical
play?
I
Are
we
going
to
come
back
and
I'm
guessing
sometime
after
June
4th,
where
we
have?
You
know
they're
notorious
lines
out
front
of
City
Hall
to
get
in?
How
do
we
do
spacing?
Where
will
we
have
a
plant
women?
We
have
a
plan
for
a
dispense,
result
a
sanitation
equipment,
those
kinds
of
physical,
little
things
that
mean
so
much
in
a
pandemic.
Sure.
P
So
we
are
actively
working
on
those
issues
now
you
know
and
of
course,
I.
Don't
have
all
the
answers
for
this
morning,
but
certainly
well
happy
to
give
y'all
an
update
on
where
we
are,
and
if
you
have
ideas
on
how
to
we
could
shift
happy
to
happy
to
listen
to
those
but
I
think
there
as
we
look
at
not
just
the
quad
Plex
but
I
think
all
business
operations
throughout
the
city.
We
are
going
to
be
providing
some
guy
guidance
and
some
recommendations
on
kind
of
how
to
operate
safely.
P
I
think
you
know
some
of
that
is
obviously
public,
masking
I
think
we
will
be
requiring
masking
in
all
of
our
city
buildings
for
all
of
our
employees
if,
unless
they're
in
their
private
office
or
at
their
cubicle
they're
gonna
be
required
to
wear
a
mask
whenever
they
leave
or
when
they
go
into
a
meeting
will
certainly
be
recommending.
Hand-Washing
we've
already
increased
the
amount
of
cleaning
in
all
of
our
buildings.
We've
added
barriers,
in
many
cases,
whether
those
are
sneeze
guards
or
plexiglass
screens
for
our
security
guards.
P
I
P
H
You
know
the
governor
announced
will
be
moving
to
yellow
to
every
city
department,
a
little
axe,
every
city
department,
every
city
employee,
to
report
back
to
work
where
we've
been
standing
up
our
offices
and
phases.
So
we
set
up
a
bunch
of
offices
to
support
the
construction
industry
being
reopened.
We
set
up
some
more
offices
to
report
to
support
the
real
estate
infancy
being
open
reopening,
so
we're
looking
at
that
phased
approach
right.
The
next
phase
is:
how
do
we
help
support
the
citizens?
H
So
is
it
coming
into
the
concourse
that
do
water
order
or
the
revenue
transactions
L&I
transactions?
Is
it
the
register
Will's
office
to
help
people
Courbet
pay
estates
and
take
care
of
that
type
of
business?
Is
it
support
and
officer
plan
of
development
to
be
able
to
get
zeebee
zeebee
a
online
and
other
sort
of
supportive
activities
and
outcomes,
but
I
wouldn't
say
that
you
know,
as
we
work
into
these
policies,
I
wouldn't
say
we're
going
to
be
strict
or
look
at.
You
know
temperature
checking
everyone
in
the
building.
They
were.
H
You
know
we're
trying
to
design
this
department
by
Department
for
certain
needs
there.
So
you
know
there
will
be
a
question
here
similar
when
we
go
to
the
doctor's.
Like.
Are
you
feeling
well?
Have
you
had
a
fever
just
some
of
that
stuff,
that's
instituted
as
some
our
departments
now,
but
we're
going
to
look
to
push
that
out
and
come
up
with
a
plan
so.
I
It
made
major
entrances
and
exits,
there's
a
new
technology
and
it's
a
little
invasive
I
will
say
that,
but
it
can
hit
a
body
image
and
tell
the
temperature,
and
we
should.
We
should
take
a
look
at
that
organ,
at
least
to
our
major
buildings
and
I.
Now,
finally,
will
there
be
a
I've
been
talking
to
a
lot
of
the
small
businesses
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia?
As
you
know,
mr.
H
Like
Bryant
Bryant,
like
Brian,
mention
we're
trying
to
get
that
out
this
week
next
week,
this
week
or
next
week
trying
to
get
ahead
of
the
juice
of
sort
of
yo-yo
phase
reopening.
But
if
the
tables
manage
in
the
records
offices
and
we're
being
led
and
sort
of
coordinated
by
the
Health
Department
of
Health
Department
guidance.
B
M
Let
me
echo
the
sentiments
that
you've
heard
from
council
president
Clark
and
Councilman
John
Bryant
tomorrow
and
all
members
of
the
team.
You
know
no
one
can
prepare
you
for
this
moment,
but
you've
done
your
best
to
meet
it.
I
want
you
to
know
that
I,
don't
apologize
for
blowing
your
phones
up
and
calling
you
and
texting
you
at
all
times
at
night.
That's
what
I'm
supposed
to
do!
What
I
do
appreciate
is
the
responses
of
that.
M
You
give
it
to
me
with
that
being
said:
Brian
many
of
the
departments
that
fall
under
your
purview,
streets,
Eleanor,
Parks,
reg,
homeless,
service.
Oh,
we
M.
These
are
the
frontline
workers.
We've
listened
to
of
the
briefings
that
we're
keeping
track
of
the
numbers
citywide.
We
thank
you
for
the
efficiency
and
reporting
them,
but
we
need
to
know
out
of
those
frontline
workers
I'm
interested
in
the
demographic
information
relative
to
our
city's
employees,
who
contracted
a
coab
at
19,
for
example,
how
many
streets
department
employees
have
contracted
Kovac
19?
M
What
divisions
are
they
getting,
for
example,
sanitation?
What's
the
racial,
ethnic
and
gender
breakdown
of
streets
department,
employees
who
have
contracted
coke
at
19
how
many
have
recovered
and
how
many
have
succumb
to
the
virus
that
I'm
going
to
ask
the
same
thing
of
septa
because
of
its
its
frontline
workers
and
we
collected
or
do
we
have
any
of
that
type
of
data
online
available?
So.
M
M
Employees
who
contracted
Kovac
19,
you
know,
give
us
a
race
age
and
the
public,
and
we
should
have
a
snapshot
of
how
this
is
impacting
frontline
city
of
Philadelphia
workers
and
again,
the
part
of
the
reason
why
I
asked
this
question
is
because
I
introduced
a
resolution
and
Council
to
hold
hearings
about
the
safety
and
well-being
of
workers
and
the
Sanitation
division
and
I
look
forward
to
having
to
hear
but
Greg.
That's
a
hearing
is
going
to
switch
now
right,
instead
of
just
general
safety.
M
It's
going
to
talk
about
how
sanitation
workers
have
been
impacted
by
cope
at
19.
You
know
as
well,
so
that
information
would
be
extremely
important
to
me
next.
Oh
help
me
with
this
trash
residential
trash
collection
is
skyrocket.
It's
through
the
roof.
Commercial
trash
collection
is
declined.
How
has
this
impacted
our
pickup
schedules
and
and
that
kind
of
processing?
That's
for
streets
and
before
my
time
is
up.
I
have
to
get
to
a
question
about
rebuild.
I
Good
morning
this
is
Commissioner
Carlton
Williams
from
the
streets
department
hope
everyone
is
staying
safe.
It
has
had
a
strim
n
de
simp
act.
As
you
stated
council
member
Parker.
The
amount
of
trash
that's
being
generated
from
the
stay
at
home
order
has
definitely
increased.
We
saw
additional
4,000
tons
in
a
month
of
April
alone
in
that
area,
so
we're
challenged
with
that.
Attendance
has
been
a
challenge
as
a
result
of
covet
and
imagined
director
Brian
Abernathy.
I
While
we
can't
state
numbers
I
can
tell
you
it
has
a
direct
impact
as
employees
try
to
manage
their
personal
lives
and
dealing
with
COBIT,
whether
they
have
contracted
it
or
a
family
member
versus
being
able
to
come
to
work.
I
want
to
say
that
they've
done
an
outstanding
job.
Helping
us
get
through
this
crisis.
They've
been
on
the
front
lines,
they've
been
out
in
difficult
weather
conditions
and
they've
also
put
themselves
at
risk,
but
they
are
working
and
we've
had
been
able
to
manage
keeping
trash,
at
least
when
a
consistent
schedule.
I
M
Because
when
we
have
workers
like
sanitation
workers
and
others
who
are
on
putting
their
lives
on
the
line,
we
need
to
know
the
disproportionate
impact,
because
we
need
to
be
able
to
measure
and
for
the
public
to
know
in
a
very
transparent
way
to
sacrifice.
We
I
don't
know
if
we'll
get
to
a
second
round
on
this,
but
you
have
to
let
me
know
MD
all
about
rebuild.
We
gather
from
the
testimony
last
week,
no
additional
bonds
will
be
issued
for
rebuild
until
at
least
FY
22.
That's
what
we
heard
from
finance.
M
However,
as
your
testimony
said,
before,
cope
at
19
rebuilds
goal
was
to
complete
at
the
72
approved,
rebuild
facilities
that
have
been
approved
by
council.
You
wanted
to
complete
those
projects
and
an
additional
10
projects
were
to
have
been
proposed
to
City
Council
this
spring
down.
According
to
your
report,
65
of
the
72
facilities
are
underway.
What's
the
status
update
on
the
seven
remaining
sites
in
the
first
batch
and
then
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
those
additional
ten
projects
to
be
able
to
move
them
forward
in
FY
21.
P
Q
A
M
M
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
sure,
given
the
administration's
priority
of
keeping
people
housed
and
sheltered
during
this
time,
can
you
explain
the
decision
to
cut
funding
for
the
Philadelphia
addiction
prevention
project?
This
initiative
was
seemed
to
be
a
prime
candidate
for
an
increase
from
our
emergency
funding,
giving
the
anticipated
spike
in
eviction
filings
to
come
once
the
courts
real
been
in
July.
P
Certainly
so,
just
for
the
record
to
reflect
it,
we
did
not
eliminate
the
in
the
program,
but
we
did
reduce
the
funding
from
where
it
was
last
year
and
so
I
believe,
there's
still
$500,000
legal
services
to
support
the
program.
Imagine
your
point.
Councilmember.
We
certainly
recognize
that
there
additional
funds
that
might
be
as
we
are
evaluating
the
recovery
office
and
our
recovery
efforts.
P
There
may
be
opportunities
there
to
help
to
help
provide
support,
but
as
far
as
general
fund
support,
we
had
to
make
a
host
of
difficult
choices,
and
you
know
you
know
presented
with
with
a
menu
of
bad
choices.
We
thought
it
was
important
to
make
sure
the
program
is
so
at
least
partially
funded.
Although
you
know
there's
a
number
of
things
that
we
did
not
were
not
able
to
fund
to
to
my
satisfaction,
but
also
recognize
the
situation
that
we're
in
a.
D
D
City
and
that
determination
has
a
critical
role
in
the
safety
and
security
of
families
across
the
region,
with
the
cuts
to
the
Pennsylvania
and
the
grant
family
unity
project,
which
is
a
public-private
partnership,
funded
in
part
by
the
city,
to
provide
legal
representation
to
immigrants
and
detention.
How
do
families
find
relief,
and
additionally,
we've
stated
that
a
key
consideration
for
this
budget
is
equity,
but
how
does
it
allow
families
to
stay
in
cages
and
to
be
a
mortal
peril
without
any
assistance
and.
P
D
It's
a
small
budget
program,
a
lot
of
return
on
investment
to
help
people
who
don't
have
any
other
access
to
help
so
I
think
that
should
be
considered
and
then.
Lastly,
the
city
of
Philadelphia
funds,
Philadelphia
unemployment
project
at
about
fifty-five
thousand
dollars,
which
is
15
percent
of
their
operating
budget
and
is
required
for
an
additional
PennDOT
investment
of
three
hundred
and
sixty
seven
thousand
dollars.
D
The
project
transports
philadelphians
on
from
my
district
and
from
many
others
to
jobs
in
the
surrounding
suburbs,
with
starting
wages,
upwards
of
1350
an
hour
and
operates
24
hours
a
day,
providing
a
safe
and
reliable
option
when
public
transportation
is
not
available.
Given
the
importance
of
this
service
to
numerous
community
members,
what
was
the
rationale
around
cutting
this
line
item
in
light
of
our
priorities
of
equity.
P
D
M
Thank
you,
lady.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
question.
Let
me
let
me
just
say
to
our
colleagues:
I've
just
received
a
note
from
staff
that
we
still
have
to
get
septa
in
and
they
need
to
put
their
testimony
on
the
record
before
12:30,
except
it
has
to
put
their
testimonial
before
12:30.
So
now
we're
going
to
hear
from
Councilwoman
Jim.
Thank
you.
Thank
You,
council,
lady
Fosgate,.
G
Thank
you
very
much
council
majority
leader
and
I
appreciate
your
putting
me
in
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
Brian
and
your
entire
team
for
all
the
work
that
you've
been
doing.
This
has
been
unimaginable,
I
know
for
you
and
for
the
city
and
I
know.
A
lot
of
this
falls
on
the
weight
of
your
shoulders
as
well.
I
want
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
with
what
councilmember
Gotti
a
was
talking
about
regarding
regarding
housing.
G
I
have
all
the
calls
that
we're
getting
into
our
office
the
worry
about
how
to
make
rent
and
what
are
the
things
that
are
in
place,
while
people
are
actually
waiting
for
unemployment
insurance
to
come
through.
So,
as
we
all
know
on
this
call
and
those
of
you
who
are
watching
you
know,
we
have
made
up
a
great
breakthrough
on
unemployment
insurance
that
covers
gig
workers.
It
covers
up
to
100
percent,
but
there's
a
tremendous
delay
at
the
state
level
in
order
to
get
into
it.
G
Only
something
like
half
of
people
are
able
to
get
on
many
people
that
we've
talked
to.
You
said
that
they
can
potentially
pay
the
rent
if
they
can
get
onto
unemployment,
but
the
it's
been
delayed
by
bonds,
and
so
one
of
our
concerns
about
you
know
with
5,000
evictions
already
scheduled
to
go
in
landlord-tenant
court
and
those
will
start
to
begin
on.
July
10th,
you
know,
is
the
city.
G
How
is
the
city
able
to
allocate
resources
to
prevent
an
avalanche
of
evictions
from
hitting
our
shelters
from
the
cost
that
we're
going
to
incur
to
alleviate
some
of
our
courts
and
that's
partly
what
the
pet
project
is
able
to
do
for
thousands
of
people?
You
know
we
can't
pay
for
rent
for
everybody,
but
we
can
help
direct
people
into
better
resources.
I'm.
G
P
It
is
unlikely
the
Stafford
Act
dollars,
which
would
be
reimbursable
dollars
would
be
available
for
for
those
funds.
For
that
purpose,
it
is
possible
that
some
cares
that
money
might
be
and
that
again,
as
we
continue
to
analyze
exactly
how
we
can
pull
down
dollars
and
for
what
purpose
we're
trying
to
sort
through
that.
Mr.
Gant
heard
a
lot
clear
that
housing
is
a
priority
for
Council,
and
certainly
one
of
our
concerns
as
well.
Could.
G
G
You
and
just
a
real
quick
statement
about
pipe
up.
This
is
the
immigrant
Legal
Defense
Fund,
that
the
mayor
was
such
a
great
champion
of
Philadelphia
joined
a
handful
of
other
cities
and
to
be
clear,
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
is
we
recognize
that
we
can't
bear
the
burden
of
all
illegal
defense
on
the
city
shoulders,
but
I
think
the
hope
was
that
the
city
was
able
to
maintain
a
nominal
investment
in
the
program
to
keep
it
going.
G
While
so
many
immigrant
families
are
bereft
when
an
immigrant
member
goes
into
detention,
they
lose
a
job
and
because
no
immigrants,
including
legal
immigrants,
green
card
holders,
LPR
and
TPS
recipients
cannot
qualify
for
federal
relief
funds.
This
is
a
particularly
important
issue,
so
my
last
question
is
about
the
13
million
dollar
cuts
to
OHSS
budget
this
year.
G
G
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
work
that
you
and
your
staff
have
been
doing
throughout
this
koba
19
pandemic.
I
want
to
echo
the
statements
made
by
council
president
Clark
and
come
from
agenda
guarding
the
guidelines.
Opening
I
know
from
your
daily
calls.
You've
been
talking
about
those
guidelines
coming
out
next
few
weeks,
but
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
have
a
collaborative
effort
in
helping
to
shape
that
information,
as
we
could
and
information
out
to
really
make
sure
our
businesses
from
all
sides
are
able
to
reopen
and
get
back
to
work.
F
F
What's
the
vision
for
the
city's
future
we're
certain
offices,
like
the
office
of
adult
education,
has
been
eliminated
or
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
being
eliminated
and
one
thing
to
reduce
funding
for
those
offices,
but
when
you
eliminate
them
altogether
what
message
that
sends
to
the
vision
and
future
of
our
city
when
both
of
those
entities
one
help
people
to
get
educated
and
have
them
to
increase
their
income
potential
income
potential
and
to
arts
and
culture
to
help
really
provide
stimulus
for
a
lot
of
our
hospitality,
as
well
as
our
business
sector?
Sure
so.
P
F
The
transfer
of
staffers
from
those
offices,
but
that's
not
the
messaging
I-
think
a
lot
of
people
in
the
city
received
they're,
getting
perspective
that
the
office
is
closing
being
eliminated,
and
it
really
sends
a
very
challenging
message
in
reference
to
arts
and
culture
in
our
city,
as
well
as
to
adult
education.
When
is
Officer
not
eliminated,
as
well
as
trying
to
provide
a
messaging
that
we're
transitioning
these
departments
because
of
the
issues
of
impact
because
of
Koba
19,
and
we
can
possibly
bring
them
back
in
future
fiscal
years.
F
F
Last
week
and
if
I've
often
said,
I've
also
shared
with
you
on
a
daily
basis,
a
lot
of
information
received
from
nationally
of
cities,
and
it's
my
understanding
that
the
Melendez
Cassidy
bill.
What
a
smart
bill
has
a
very
good
chance
of
passing.
However,
when
I
show
the
timing
of
the
passing
of
that
legislation,
I
know
that
there
would
be
any
type
of
transfer
of
dollars.
P
F
Specific
question:
how
would
you
prioritize
those
dollars
if
we
receive
those
dollars
prior
to
end
of
the
fiscal
year?
Are
there
certain
offers
that
you
would
bring
back?
Are
the
funding
challenges
or
cut
you
when
I
need
to
make?
How
would
you
communicate
that
to
not
only
council
but
also
on
to
the
city.
P
Have
that
conversation
with
council
all
the
time,
I
think
it's
hard
for
me
to
to
say
and
sit
here
today
to
talk
through
what
exactly
those
priorities
would
be
without
having
a
broader
conversation
with
a
with
council
and
with
with
the
mayor's
office.
But
certainly
we
recognize
the
impact
on
the
budget
process
going
forward.
M
You
Green
listen
to
all
of
our
colleagues
who
are
in
queue
and
a
special
thanks
to
Councilwoman
Sanchez,
who
was
actually
next,
because
our
tech
staff
has
alerted
me
that
we
have
a
hard
stop
and
we've
got
to
get
septa
on
before
12:30
we're
going
to
accept
it.
You're
prepared
of
GM
Leslie
I'm,
not
sure
Leslie
Richards.
If
you're
still
are
you
here,
I'm
here,
okay,
Leslie
I,
apologize
for
this
adjustment
and
schedule
we're
going
to
ask
the
managing
director
to
stay
on.
We
also
want
you
to
give
your
testimony
right
now.
M
Q
Q
Is
dealing
with
the
financial
consequences
of
Co
mid-nineteen
they're,
nothing
short
of
devastating
to
us,
we're
dealing
with
ridership
declines
of
92
percent
on
transit,
98
percent
on
rail.
We
obviously,
in
addition
to
low
ridership,
are
farebox
revenue
losses.
I
will
surpass
hundreds
of
millions
dollars
and
will
continue
these
fiscal
year
2022.
Q
We
also
know
that
lots
of
our
funding
that
comes
through
the
state.
We
know
that
sales
tax.
We
know
that
lottery
funds
which
helps
us
the
seniors
and
pretty
much
all
of
our
subsidies
that
we
that
we
receive
also
may
be
impacted.
We
know
that
the
Turnpike
Commission
provides
a
good
percentage
of
those
subsidies
coming
to
very
hard,
and
so
we're
not
really
sure
what
we
can
count
on.
As
far
as
funding.
Q
Because
of
what
I've
just
stated
on
our
ridership,
we
we
face
daunting
challenges
is
every
single
day.
We
have
many
issues
discussed
today
with
the
vulnerable
population
on
our
system
implementing
new
cleaning
and
social
distancing
protocols.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
riders
feel
safe
on
our
system,
and
we
are
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
make
sure
that
they
do
and
they
should,
with
everything
that
we're
doing
we're
working
productively
with
our
unions.
Q
For
a
long
time,
but
we
are
making
up
and
making
up
for
it
and
getting
to
know
each
other
very
quickly,
which
is
good
and
we
all
have
the
mutual
goal
of
keeping
our
employees
safe.
We
also
have
seen
how
our
essential
are,
as
seneschal
workers
and
essential
trips
throughout
the
region,
truly
truly
count
on
us.
We're
talking
about
the
new
challenges
that
we
have
I
agree
with.
What
council
president
Clark
said
at
the
very
beginning-
and
that
is
you
know,
our
values
are
the
same
different.
Q
Values
at
19
they
stay
the
same
and
they
they'll
be
changed
a
bit.
So
equity
is
still
in
the
forefront
of
everything
we're
doing
at
septa
we're
moving
forward
with
the
fair
proposal,
the
elements
that
help
and
can
give
relief
to
our
customers
and
we
are
holding
off
on
any
cost
increases,
at
least
until
January
of
next
year.
We're
moving
forward
with
comprehensive
bus
network
redesign,
we're
moving
forward
with
Charlie
phasing
as
well
and
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
our
system
more
equitable
and
accessible.
We
share
with
this
council.
Q
Everything
that
we
do,
we
continue
with
sustainability
and
we
continue
to
get
some
of
our
power
from
solar
and
clean
energy
sources.
In
fact,
we
move
forward
with
with
an
agreement
with
a
solar
farm
and
we
still
plan
on
getting
power
needs
of
this
clean
energy.
We
include,
of
course,
to
always
have
clean
energy
on
our
buses.
We
still
have
25
battery
electric
buses
in
our
plans.
This
is
one
of
the
largest
bus
fleets
in
the
in
the
United
States,
and
we're
very
proud
of
that.
Q
We
continue
with
storm
water
challenges
working
with
the
water
department,
as
well
as
very
proud
to
be
hosting
farmers
markets
and
getting
fresh
produce
out
to
our
communities.
Safety
is
still
very
important
and
while
we
will
still
continue
working
with
traffic
congestion
and
fatalities-
and
we
know
that
transit
is
safer
than
traveling
by
car
now
we
will
include
protocols
for
social,
distancing
and
sanitizing
as
well,
and
we
will
continue
to
be
an
economic
driver
here.
Q
Q
That
has
not
needed
transit
to
get
essential
workers
to
grocery
stores,
to
stock
shelves
to
clean
hospital
rooms
to
feed
those
who
are
getting
health
care
for
those
who
are
delivering
packages
and
I
feel
that
that
will
only
increase
the
importance
of
our
customers
and
the
work
that
they
do
and,
of
course,
the
important
work
that
workers
do.
I
will
get
back
to
that.
Actually.
Q
We've
had
140
fully
recover
and
come
back
and
come
back
to
work
and
provide
service
that
we
and
we're
very
proud
of
that,
of
course,
but
it's
also
an
opportunity
for
us
to
reevaluate
every
single
thing
that
we
do
and
that
this
gives
us
to
be
better
to
be
more
equitable
to
be
more
inclusive.
We've
revamped
our
communications.
In
fact,.
Q
Virtual
hearings,
virtual
for
the
first
time
they
will
be
offered
in
English
in
Spanish,
as
well
as
in
Mandarin,
and
we
will
have
sign
language
as
well.
They
will
be
the
most
inclusive
that
we've
ever
been
able
to
do
these
types
of
hearings,
and
we
are
very
very
proud
of
that.
We
are
prioritizing
people
in
a
very
intentional
way.
It
is
a
shift
in
our
culture.
It's
when
I'm
extremely
proud
of
it's
one,
that
our
staff
has
risen
to
the
occasion
in
ways
that
I
could
not
even
imagine
when
I
came
here
in
January.
Q
We
do
have
that
data
and
we
do
keep
track
which
divisions
as
well
as
which
employee
groups
are
testing
positive
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
people
know
that
we've
had
high
rates
with
our
conductors
or
assistant
conductors
or
maintenance
custodians,
our
equipment
and
our
mechanics.
Our
revenue,
attendants
operators,
obviously
on
our
sub,
our
bus
operators,
our
customer
experience
and
advocacy
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
virus
does
not
discriminate.
Q
M
Listen,
we
want
to
thank
you
for
your
testimony
and
business
baptism
by
fire.
This
is
your
first
council
budget
hearing.
Isn't
it
you,
you
come
to
us
from
years
of
experience
in
the
state
years
of
experience
in
the
county,
so
we
welcome
welcome
you
here
and
thank
you
for
your
testimony
want
to
remind
all
of
my
colleagues
who
are
incue
counsel
for
mr.
Sanchez's.
Next,
you
can
ask
your
questions
of
both
Bryant
Abernathy,
our
managing
director,
along
with
alleged
Leslie,
the
GM
overhead
septa.
M
R
You
very
much,
madam
chairwoman
and
and
I
will
save
my
questions
for
Leslie
I
want
to
thank
her
and
welcome
her
to
this
process
through
councilman
council
member
Johnson.
She
has
been
on
call
and
available
to
counsel
throughout
this
entire
pandemics.
We
want
to
thank
you.
I
know.
Some
of
those
conversations
have
been
very,
very
tough,
as
it
relates
to
the
labor
and
some
of
the
service
issues.
R
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you've
always
been
since
you've
been
on
board
available
to
all
of
us,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
some
clarity
about
your
funding
and
all
of
those
things
become
clearer
and
how
we
can
continue
to
support
you.
So
thank
you
so
very
very
much.
My
question
is
for
Brian
and
I.
Do
want
to
thank
the
entire
managing
directors.
R
Office
team
I
know
how
hard
this
kovat
pandemic
has
been,
and
everybody
pivoting
to
just
you
know:
Crisis
Response
Team
and
as
we
move
from
crisis
to
recovery,
because
it
is
our
responsibility
to
send
a
message
that
we
are
going
to
transition
from
crisis
to
to
recovery.
Let
me
remind
folks
that
you
know
and
I
want
to
echo
what
council
president
Court
said.
R
You
know
as
we
as
we
talked
about
poverty
and
around
and
around
cuts
you
know,
equity
doesn't
always
account
for
the
institutional
disparities
that
have
existed
in
so
I
want
to
remind
folks-
and
you
know,
I
know
my
council
colleague
members
Gannon
cartera.
As
we
talk
about
housing.
You
know,
let
us
not
waste
this
opportunity
to
move
away
from
program
services
that
are
not
as
efficient
and
effective.
R
Let
us
really
try
to
meet
people
where
they
are
meeting
people
where
they
are
is
taking
them
through
this
transition
and
and
minimizing
as
council
president
Clark
says
you
know
if
we
don't
invest
in
the
front
and
the
back
end
is
going
to
be
even
more
dangerous
for
a
city
like
ours.
So
when
we
have
totally
eliminate
things,
it
does
say
to
folks
that
we're
no
longer
committed
to
them.
R
So
the
adult
literacy
workforce
development,
all
the
things
we
need
as
part
of
our
recoveries-
and
you
know,
I-
look
forward
to
working
with
with
the
administration
around
that
kind
of
messaging,
and
how
do
we
ensure
that
core
services
are
still
put
in
place?
One
of
the
areas
of
major
concern
that
I
had
and
we
saw
it
as
we
woke
up
this
morning
with
the
brewery
town
party
in
the
seventh
Cal
sematic
districts
parks
like
McPherson,
have
been
totally
off
the
chain
for
Cole
Hunting
Park.
R
We
had
shootings
on
G
and
Hunting
Park
because
folks
are
you
know,
feeling
the
pinch
and
they're
coming
out
warmer
weather
is
upon
us,
the
last
two
weekends.
You
know
the
police
have
really
really
struggled
to
maintain
some
of
the
discipline
in
some
of
our
parks
and
I
know
you
guys
have
had
to
make
really
hard
decisions
around
our
parks,
but
we
need
maintenance
and
police
safety
at
the
parks
this
weekend
in
everywhere,
collosal
Park
Circle.
R
It
has
been
out
of
control
and
we're
going
to
see
more
of
this
as
we
open
up
so
I
want
to
sitting
strategically
around
the
maintenance
issues,
though
the
streets
department,
Carlton
Keith,
the
entire
team.
You
know
we
all
have
learned
to
manage
the
300
on
shelter,
people
in
quezon
10,
and
they
do
the
best
they
can,
but
I
think
we're.
R
Gonna
have
to
start
again
moving
from
crisis
to
recovery,
taking
back
and
reclaiming
some
of
those
spaces
and
and
how
we
invest
in
them
and
how
we
keep
them
will
will
set
a
message
around
how
people
utilize
them.
So
Brian
tell
me
again
going
back
to
the
disparities
in
in
terms
of
equity
around
making
some
of
these
decisions.
How
are
the
cuts
been
administer?
R
You
know
most
corporations
cut
the
middle.
How
are
we
ensuring
that
the
that
the
frontline
staff
is
intact
and
how
is
that
reflected
in
your
layoff
situation
and
then
what
product
lines
are
you
looking
to
change
that
are
inefficient,
as
opposed
to
just
cutting
some
of
the
innovation
that
we
were
starting
on.
P
So
that's
a
that's
a
big
question.
Council
member.
Thank
you
so
I
think
I'll
start
with
how
we
approached
a
number
of
the
layoffs
so
as
exempt
layoffs,
we
did
specifically
look
at
the
middle
and
middle
management
as
we
approached
and
certainly
did
some
reorganization,
as
as
I
touched
in
my
testimony,
you
know
shifting
the
waste
and
litter
cabinet
into
the
offices
of
sustainability,
looking
at
efficiencies
and
some
of
our
contracts
with
both
sustainability
and
the
office
of
transportation
and
infrastructure.
P
Looking
at
you
know,
is
there
a
better
way
we
can
provide
violence,
prevention,
services
than
and
so
have
restructured
the
youth
violence
reduction,
partnership
and
and
shifted
some
of
those
functions
into
the
group,
violence,
intervention
and
CCIP,
and
so
we
have
tried
to
take
that
approach.
You
know
this
was
trying
to
be
thoughtful.
As
we
approached
a
number
of
these
issues
and.
P
Part
of
that
really
was
trying
to
send
a
signal
to
the
public
about
how
really
severe
this
economic
crisis
is
and
the
challenges
and
the
choices
that
were
being
forced
to
make
are
gonna
impact
service
levels,
and
so,
as
we're
asking
residents
to
see
service
level
reductions.
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
saw
that
you
know
the
city
is
taking
these
concerns
seriously,
that
we
are
trying
to
to
be
thoughtful
in
our
approach
and
will
continue
to
find
ways
to
provide
those
core
services.
M
P
I
D
I
D
P
P
C
Center
stage,
we
really
just
can't
you
know
my
mother
just
cannot
even
imagine
that
we
put
together
a
budget.
That
said,
you
know
we
had
these
values,
this
equity
lens,
this
racial
equity
lens
and
and
that
we
were
going
to
proceed
a
particular
way.
And
then
you
know
these
are
the
cuts
that
were
made.
They
really
speak
against.
D
So
we
we
are
still
working
through
our
plans
for
the
summer.
It
is
our
hope
to
have
summer
camps
running
and
we
just
received
some
information
from
the
Health
Department,
with
some
specific
protocols
that
are
related
to
state
and
federal
CDC
protocols
for
how
we
can
safely
do
that.
So
we
are.
We
are
very
hopeful
that
we
can
continue
to
offer
our
summer
camp,
especially
as
for
parents
who
need
child
care
this
summer,
and
yes,
then
we're
also
looking,
of
course,
we're
still
doing
our
play
streets
program,
which
is
our
meal
distribution
program.
D
That
will
happen.
You
know
all
over
the
city
and
we've
done
a
huge
push
over
the
last
week
to
encourage
more
folks
to
apply
for
play
streets
on
their
blocks
and
so
we're
hoping
also
to
create
some
enhancements
for
that
program.
So
if
the
kids
can't
come
to
rec
centers,
if
the
rec
centers
are
not
up
and
running
this
summer,
then
we
can
bring
that
that
that
recreation
to
children
where
they
are
and
also,
of
course,
those
meals.
D
C
These
will
be
more
Avenue
in
North
Philly.
What
we
saw
last
night
I
think
it's
just
the
beginning,
but
we're
going
to
continue
to
see
throughout
the
summer
if
there
aren't,
if
there's
not
some
more
significant
activity
for
young
people,
we
have
to
have
a
plan,
or
else
this
city
is
going
to
have
a
problem
on
its
hand
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
the
summer
camps
at
play.
C
Streets
are
good
for
younger
children,
but
they're,
not
usually
the
ones
that
we
need
to
have
as
much
activity
for
as
a
means
to
keeping
them
safe
and
keeping
them
off
the
street
and
keeping
them.
You
know
away
from
negative
activity,
so
I
have
a
great
amount
of
concern
that
we're
not
doing
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
have
more
activity
for
them.
Yeah.
D
I
definitely
share
your
concerns
and
you
know
we're
gonna
be
working
with
our
health
department
in
the
management
director's
office,
as
well
as
with
the
police
and
our
public
safety
leaders
to
try
and
figure
out
what
more
we
can
be
doing
when
it
is
safe,
and
you
know
when
it
is
safe
and
when
we
can
do
what
we
can
to
do
everything
that
that
is
possible.
One
other
thing
that
we're
doing,
however,
is
we
are
still
employing
all
of
the
young
people
that
we
employ
traditionally.
So
we
are
keeping
our
work
ready
program
going.
D
We've
already
begun,
processing
close
to
a
thousand
teenagers
between
14
and
18
years
old
that
we'll
be
hiring
this
summer
to
work
for
us
in
some
capacity,
so
we
will
offer
them
good-paying
jobs,
and
then
we
also
received
an
additional
280
positions
for
young
people
between
the
ages
of
19
and
24
to
also
work
for
us
this
summer
through
the
program
so
I
think
jobs
are
going
to
be
important
to
give
people.
You
know
not
just
something
to
do,
but
also
income
that
they're
going
to
really
for
themselves
and
also
to
help
support
their
families.
C
So
I
know
that
you
know
you
mentioned
that
you
were
going
to
go
back
and
have
additional
conversations
about
summers
here
this
week
the
temperatures
are
going
to
be
well
into
the
80s,
so
we
are
really
out
of
time
to
begin
to
try
to
figure
something
out
or
plan
for
them,
and
you
know
we
really
need
more
work.
We
need
a
lot
more
to
be.
Our
kids
are
safe,
regardless
of
their
ages,
that
they're
safe
that
they're
in
productive
activities
and
that
there's
some
sort
of
activity.
You
know.
C
M
You
Councilwoman
bass,
let
me
say
to
our
colleagues
again
cut
a
hard
cut
off.
We're
gonna
have
to
do
a
lightening
rail,
both
the
MDL
of
recreation
and
all
of
the
departments
have
said.
If
you
send
their
question
your
questions
to
them
each
and
every
question
is
answered.
The
text
staff
is
now
going
to
begin
to
set
the
clock
to
four
minutes.
Four
minutes
now.
Right
now,
chair
recognizes
Councilwoman
Brooks.
N
A
N
As
you
can
see,
they've
been
floating
around
I'm
very
concerned
with
the
immediate
and
long-term
bill
CHP
plant.
Additionally,
as
you
know,
the
deadly
impact
of
corona
virus
has
been
particularly
dangerous
in
black
community.
A
lot
of
increased
risk
to
black
folks
stem
from
comorbidities
many,
which
are
respiratory.
We
know
that
these
comorbidities
are
a
result
of
institutional
and
environmental
racism.
Can
you
discuss
how
the
law,
how
to
short-term
need
for
this
facility,
authorized
the
long-term
impact
on
the
people
and
environment
in
this
and
other
neighborhoods.
N
Did
you
put
in
cabling
to
handle
the
50
megawatts
of
power
at
the
mid
fill
CHP
place
and
that
you
could
answer
those
later?
My
next
question
is
on
federal
funds,
as
we
work
through
this
pandemic
response,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
continuing
system
provide
services
for
essential
workers,
and
it
must
be
challenging
to
make
necessary
changes
when
conditions
change
hourly.
You
stated
acceptable.
You
see
six
hundred
and
forty
four
billion
dollars
in
cash
funding,
seeing
that
there
are
tight
restrictions
on
how
the
funding
can
be
used.
Q
Q
You
know
why
we
need
this.
Why
we
need
to
move
forward
and
why,
with
the
tests
that
we've
had,
we
feel
that
the
impacts
there
is
no
impact
to
the
neighborhood,
but
I'm
more
than
willing
to
have
a
you
know
a
lengthy
discussion
with
you
on
that
issue
and
I
know
it's
very
important.
It's
a
very
important
to
us
as
well.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
fully
understand
all
the
impacts
for
doing
that
with
you
in
the
future.
Q
As
far
as
the
federal
funds
I'd
like
to
get
to
that,
because
I
think
other
council
people
may
have
that
question
as
well
and
44
million
from
the
care
is
active,
I
would
divide
our
needs
into
three
issues
and
they
would
be
revenue
shortfalls,
our
subsidy
shortfalls
and
additional
Corbett
expenses
that
we
anticipate
so
our
revenue
shortfalls.
That's
at
the
fare
box
just
to
give
everybody
an
example:
we
normally
count
on
over
480
million
dollars
just
at
the
fare
box
on
a
given
year.
Q
M
D
M
E
You
so
much
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
also
just
want
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleagues
to
welcome
the
new
general
manager
to
septa
Leslie
Richardson.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
responsiveness
and
for
really
working
to
answer
a
number
of
our
questions.
I
know:
we've
had
several
conversations
and
quickly
for
you.
I
just
want
to
put
on
the
record
that
your
workforce
has
been
acknowledged
as
essential
workers,
and
my
concern
is
that
they
remain
healthy.
You
know,
as
they
continue
to
serve
the
city.
E
So
how
does
your
budget
address
employee
safety
and
also
how
is
septa
working
with
addressing
the
vulnerable
population
I
know
we
had
Congress
some
of
the
specific
stations
that
we
had
concerns
about,
particularly
for
the
essential
health
care
workers
who
are
utilizing
those
stations
to
get
to
and
from
work.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
put
that
question
on
the
record.
E
Septa
as
well
thank
councilmember
Brooks
for
asking
the
question
that
I
had
around
mid
bail
in
the
complex
in
nice
town
so
also
to
our
managing
director,
Brian
Abernathy
of
my
former
colleague
and
counsel,
and
our
deputy
managing
director
Marc
Alexander.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
hard
work
and
for
your
responses
to
our
inquiries.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
a
quick
question
around
the
RFP
for
community
testing.
E
P
E
You
I
mean
quickly
just
wanted
to
also
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleague,
councilmember
Greene,
around
a
vision
for
our
city,
particularly
around
the
proposed
cuts
to
the
office
of
Workforce,
Development,
adult
education
and
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
in
the
creative
economy
and
African
American
Museum
quickly
for
the
streets.
Department
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
streets
department
for
all
of
your
hard
work
and
for
answering
our
I
have
a
question
around
the
change
in
the
Sanitation
pickup
schedule,
and
if
there
were
any
changes
to
the
waste
management
contract.
M
Ask
you
to
respond
to
that
question
in
writing
and
any
additional
questions
that
don't
get
on
the
record
that
members
have.
We
want
to
get
them
all
in
writing
to
each
of
our
departments
and
they
will
respond
immediately,
so
Thank
You,
Councilwoman
Gilmore.
The
chair
now
recognizes
councilman
Thomas
and
let
me
also
say
to
colleagues
that
we
do
not
have
enough
time
to
do
another
round,
so
we
will
stop
at
councilman.
Squealer
councilman
fuller
will
be
the
last
a
question.
If
there
any
minutes
left,
then
we
will
come
back
around
chair
recognizes
councilman
Thomas.
J
Everybody
real
quick
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody.
That's
involved
all
the
great
work,
that's
being
done.
I
will
go
more
in
depth
about
that,
but
clearly
we're
running
low
on
time.
In
writing.
I
will
first
like
to
see
something
that
gives
us
an
update
on
what's
going
on
with
the
health
care
workers
in
the
prisons
where
we
have
with
that
and
what's
the
latest
there.
I
would
also
like
to
see
something
in
writing.
J
It
talks
about
what
happens
when
we
reopen
specifically
thinking
about
how
do
we
enforce
social
distancing
during
this
unfortunate
crisis,
we've
seen
a
number
of
negative
incidents
involving
police
and
citizens
and
I
am
concerned
about
how
we
enforce
social
distancing
in
the
possibility
of
exploring
social
distancing
officers
to
possibly
allow
for
some
level
of
activity
once
we'd
be
open.
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
biaxin
about
the
septa
plan.
J
I
do
have
several
questions
about
that
process,
specifically
how
it
took
place
in
nice,
town
I
was
a
city
employee,
and
that
happened
and
again
I
have
a
number
of
questions
and
concerns,
as
it
relates
to
that
specific
area.
Councilmember
best
spoke
in
depth
about
concerns,
specifically
as
it
relates
to
activity
this
summer.
J
I
want
to
and
put
emphasis
on
the
statement
that
she
may
also
want
us
to
consider
what
the
cuts
that
we're,
making
and
also
looking
at
the
arrest
rate
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
I
mean
he
looked
at
what
other
members
talked
about
I
believe
it
was
councilmember
Parker
about
confirmed
positive
cases.
We
see
the
perfect
formula
right
now
for
communities
of
color
to
really
be
destructive
to
really
go
down
so
I'm
wondering
why
detect
the
managing
directors
office
or
the
administration.
J
J
One
I'm
wondering
their
budget
is
about
4.1
million
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
have
some
type
of
compromise
where
we
possibly
look
at
bringing
them
down
to
maybe
1.1
million
instead
of
zeroing
them
out
I
understand
at
the
staff
but
I'm
hoping
that
we
get
a
message
to
the
community
by
keeping
that
department
in
place
so
that
we
can
assure
that
we're
providing
activities
and
decisions,
that's
in
the
best
interest
of
all
Philadelphians.
So
those
are
my
questions
for
the
record
I'm
looking
forward
to
getting
them.
H
You,
madam
chair
and
Leslie,
thank
you
and
the
septa
team
for
the
great
job
you're
doing
Brian
as
our
managing
director.
Thank
you
to
your
team.
Also,
you
guys
are
doing
a
really
good
job
and
just
quick
comments
in
efforts
to
obtain
a
smart
restart.
We
have
myself
and
several
colleagues
have
a
hospitality,
restaurant
hotel
group
and
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
connect
with
somebody
in
your
office
to
accomplish
send
the
bills
they'd
like
to
see
happen.
H
Fiscal
year,
18
expenses
we
have
to
prioritize
jobs
by
going
back
to
18
spending,
we
can
continue
to
invest
in
job
creation,
programs
and
policies
that
are
desperately
need.
I
can
tell
you
any
individual
in
the
city
or
any
business
or
any
organization
would
be.
Ecstatic
would
be
happy
to
achieve
2018
finances
in
2021
or
even
2017
s
finances
today,
given
over
that
I
like
you
to
follow
up
with
counsel
learning
habits,
use
2018
as
a
guideline
and
report
back
to
us
the
other
questions
they
have.
A
Thank
you
later
and
I'll.
Just
advance
got
a
bunch
of
questions
because
I'll
put
it
in
writing
as
we
have
been
throughout
this
whole
process
and
that
I
do
in
his
first
start
up
by
saying
thank
you
and
good
job
or
managing
director
Brian
and
your
team.
That's
handling
the
crisis
and
putting
together
all
the
department
says
we
had
a
plan
work
of
the
council
work
of
the
council
being
key,
so.
A
We
can
have
a
reopening
and
recovery
permit
for
sidewalk
cafes
and
whether
that
shapes
out
and
my
questions
and
income
must
be
toward
selenide.
Commissioner
I
notice
Commissioner
has
been
doing
a
fabulous
job,
trying
to
make
sure
all
right
fact
work
is
is
coming
back
and
the
construction
industry
seems
to
be
the
first
road
of
recovery
in
the
industry
that
is
coming
back
to
work
and
putting
back
into
our
economy
and
I.
Think
that's
important.
A
There
are
some
unintended
consequences,
I
think
I'm
going
to
stick
to
or
a
mission
to
making
sure
that
we
have
a
department,
all
right,
that
has
tools
and
your
resources.
Alright,
the
keeps
our
property
and
our
people
safe
in
every
neighborhood
of
our
city
in
FY
nineteen,
it
generated
seventy
three
point:
six
billion
dollars.
A
Spectres
are
our
first
responders
when
it
comes
to
our
public
health
and
safety
in
our
neighbors
when
it
comes
to
construction.
So,
during
this
time
of
crisis,
the
enemy
has
been
because
they're
paying
taxes,
they
are
not
pulling
permits
and
they
do
not
have
licenses
during
this
crisis
right
in
the
apocalypse
of
the
construction
industry.
At
this
time
they
had
been
surviving,
and
that
is
unacceptable.
So
I'm
gonna
work
with
the
department
and
administration
or
a
to
rate
the
cuts
to
Illinois.
M
O
M
D
D
M
You
so
much
and
it
is
1229.
Let
me
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
your
testimony.
We
will
have
callbacks
and
we
will
send
all
of
the
questions
that
council
members
and
not
get
a
cheapest
to
verbally
respond
to
in
writing.
But
there
be
no
one
else
here
to
testify
any
other
questions
or
comments
there
being
none.
This
committee
will
stand
in
recess
until
Wednesday
May
27
2020
at
9:30
a.m.
at
which
time
we
will
reconvene
our
microsoft
teams
want
to
say
thank
you
to
each
of
you
and
30
seconds.
M
Hey
Abernathy,
a
city
administration,
intergovernmental
cooperation,
is
extremely
important.
We're
going
to
move
this
city
forward
together,
as
the
council
president
mentioned,
and
we
can
do
it
with
council
being
an
afterthought.
We
have
to
work
together,
hand
in
hand.
Thank
you
so
much
and
have
a
good
day.
Thank
you.
