A non-privileged resolution commending the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on the passage of a legislative package aimed at helping grandparents raising grandchildren and encouraging the Senate to pass this legislation into law.
The Chair again recognizes Councilwoman Parker.
Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to take this opportunity to lift up two of my former colleagues and, that is, State Representative Eddie Day Pashinski, who is a democrat in Luzerne County, and Representative Kathy Watson, who is a republican from Bucks County. On April the 17th, the Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 Pennsylvania House passed and it moved to the Senate a package, a bipartisan package, of bills aimed at supporting grandparents raising grandchildren. It's a legislative package of bills. And for the record, Mr. President, the reason why this issue in particular is of importance to me is, I'm happy that they say it this way, grandparents raising grandchildren, because I was raised by my grandparents. But now the term that is often used, it is referred to as kinship care. And while I don't have any data in front of me showing that there is a statistically significant difference that we can prove that there's a correlation or causation with opioid abuse, lack of unemployment or mental health and the increase in the number of children who are being raised by someone other than their biological parents and their families, for those of us who have a direct connection to the people we represent, we know that we are Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 seeing this phenomena on the rise. So I just want to commend these two legislators in particular and colleagues in the House for moving this package over to the Senate. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. That will be on next week's Calendar. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.

Rob Graff, commenting on 180218. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon, Council President Clarke and members of Philadelphia City Council. My name is Robert Graff. I manage the Office of Energy and Climate Change Initiatives at the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. DVRPC serves the City of Philadelphia and its eight surrounding Pennsylvania and New Jersey counties. Councilman Squilla represents the City of Philadelphia on DVRPC's Board. I'm honored to provide testimony in favor of Bill 180218, which discontinues the approval of new reserved electric vehicle parking spaces on the Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 street in front of electric vehicle owners' homes and eliminates the existing spaces by 2033. DVRPC has been involved in electric vehicle work for the past decade. In 2012, DVRPC released Ready to Roll, Southeastern Pennsylvania's regional electric vehicle action plan. We are currently working with the researchers at the Plug-In Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Research Center at University of California - Davis to develop tools to help us understand how electric vehicle ownership and charging in our region is likely to evolve. I also serve as DVRPC's representative on the Drive Electric Pennsylvania Coalition. For the past year, I served on the City's Electric Vehicle Policy Task Force established to develop a long-term sustainable approach to promote electric vehicle use in Philadelphia. The Task Force's policy recommendations released Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 in March include freezing the electric vehicle parking space program. As part of its EV work, DVRPC receives detailed registration data from PennDOT for every vehicle in the five counties of Southeastern Pennsylvania. The most recent data we have from November 2017 shows 733 electric vehicles in Philadelphia. This bill affects only the 68 electric vehicles that are parked and charged on public streets in reserved overnight curbside parking spaces in front of their owners' homes. That is, it affects just 7 percent of the 733 electric vehicles registered in the City. Furthermore, the owners of those 68 electric vehicles will continue to be provided reserved overnight parking on the street in front of their homes until 2033 as long as they own or lease an electric vehicle. This seemed fair to the Task Force members. Note that the City still allows residents to install curbside EV chargers Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 in front of their homes. However, they will not be provided with a reserved spot. EV owners have several charging choices if they do not have dedicated off-street parking. Rent a space to park and charge their electric vehicle, charge at their place of work or other location to which they drive regularly or charge at a public charging station. The Task Force report recommends nine strategies to foster these and other options for EV owners. OTIS has stated it will actively pursue these strategies and report regularly on their implementation status. Thank you for your attention. I would be happy to respond to any questions you might have.
Bill West, commenting on 180218. (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning. My name is Bill West. My colleague Ilene Wilder and I are Co-Chairs of the Parking Committee for the Philadelphia Crosstown Coalition, a group of 32 registered community organizations from across the City. Ilene couldn't be here today, but I am here to urge you to vote in favor of Bill No. 180218, which addresses the closing down of the current curbside charging program for electric vehicles. Ilene and I served as community members of the City's Electric Vehicle Policy Task Force, which conducted a broad inquiry into the potential for bringing large numbers of electric vehicles to the City. The report of the Task Force contains a large number of recommendations and, frankly, is a very encouraging document. Although replacing gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles with electric vehicles on a one-to-one basis would do Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 nothing to alleviate the problems of traffic and parking congestion in the City, it would substantially improve the quality of the air we breathe and also give us a quieter city. One of the jobs of the Task Force was to figure out what to do with the current electric vehicle parking space program, which provides residents with dedicated curbside parking spaces in front of their homes where they may install chargers and recharge their electric vehicles. Although this program is certainly well-intentioned, there is simply not enough space on our streets to accommodate the large number of electric vehicles that the Task Force envisions. To use a piece of jargon, the program is not scalable. In our opinion, Bill 180218 faithfully renders into legislative language the recommendations of the Task Force that relate to the current on-street charging program. I should Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 emphasize that the Task Force reached its conclusions by consensus. The group included three private citizens who are electric vehicle owners. We think the bill represents good policy arrived at through a good procedure. We heartily encourage you to vote for Bill 180218. Thank you.
Larry Spector, commenting on 180218. (Witness approached podium.)
Thank you, Council President Clarke, members of City Council and especially our district -- my district Councilman Mark Squilla and Councilman David Oh. My name is Larry Spector. I appear on behalf of the Society Hill Civic Association. This is an association which has 5,000 residents Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 represented who live within boundaries of Delaware River to 8th Street, from Walnut to Lombard Street. We strongly support the phasing out of the current electric vehicle parking program and the recommendations that were made by the Task Force. We think that those recommendations provide an excellent roadmap for parking for public electrical vehicle charging infrastructure. Currently, the curbside charging stations are not scalable and they're not even accessible to many people. So the bill will end the practice of giving an exclusive parking space to homeowners who have these parking permits. Our neighborhood in particular has a disproportionate number of the permits that have been issued under these programs, but the elimination of the program will end the exclusivity that homeowners have for the spaces by Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 codifying two-hour parking for all vehicles between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and allowing electric charging to continue from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. still for the homeowners. And the homeowners will have 15 years during the sunset phase of this bill to be able to continue to charge their cars. The program will stop what we see as sometimes the ad hoc installation of these charging stations that take up valuable places on the public sidewalks and have even been a tripping hazard for some residents of Society Hill. In conclusion, the Society Hill Civic Association strongly supports the work, the excellent work, of the Task Force and its recommendations and the general direction in which this whole venture of electric charging of vehicles is going. Thank you.
Thank you for your testimony. Stated Meeting April 19, 2018
Helen Evelev, commenting on 180322. (Witness approached podium.)
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to speak to you about a critical issue, one that looms over all of us, the universal peril of nuclear weapons and what that means for our children and grandchildren. In our wars, there are -- our wars are fought differently today. Now wars since World War II, the casualties have been 90 percent civilian and 10 percent combatants. Nuclear weapons are designed for one thing, to wipe out whole populations, and they would also dramatically alter the climate in ways so catastrophic that they are, frankly, beyond imagining. This issue is not new to Philadelphia, and I wish to speak to the local precedence. Few of you may recall Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 Philadelphia was an active center with its Quaker history of getting a nuclear freeze referendum on the ballot nationally. The referendum called for the United States and Russia, the only nuclear powers at that time, to retain existing nuclear parity, halt the arms race, and open the way for eventual elimination of all nuclear weapons. The nuclear freeze referendum of 1982 was the largest referendum on a single issue in United States history and won by a landslide. It was on the ballot in 38 cities, and I'm proud to say that Philadelphia was one of them and that we voted three to one for the referendum. That was yesterday. Today nine nations have nuclear weapons, with the U.S. and Russia having 90 percent of them. The threat has grown with proliferation and with irresponsible and unpredictable leadership. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has a clock that measures how Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 close we are to nuclear war. The hands are now two minutes to midnight. They have only been this close once before, during the confrontation with the Soviet Union drawing the Cuban missile crisis. Today we are here to plead for our grandchildren and children and to our City Council to follow these precedences and make Philadelphia again a leader by exerting pressure on our Congressmen and Senators to co-sponsor companion legislation now languishing in committee that prohibits the President from launching a first strike use of nuclear weapons without a declaration of war by Congress.
Thank you. Thank you for your testimony. (Applause.)
Jean Haskell, commenting on 180322. (Witness approached podium.)
We thank you. The Granny Peace Brigade thanks Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 Councilmember Helen Gym and Derek Green for introducing Resolution 180322. We also wish to thank the co-sponsors, Councilmember Parker, Councilmember Reynolds Brown, and Councilmember Greenlee, and we want to give a big shout-out to Jordan Kanell, who seems to be a magician at making things happen. It means a lot to us that City Councilmembers are willing to stand with us as we call on our city to continue its precedent-setting stand to call on Congress and pass the bills that will prevent an unpredictable President from taking unilateral action with a nuclear weapon. We all know the horror to humans and the environment that is caused by the impact of a nuclear strike. We know less about the dollars and cents cost of such a strike. Nuclear weapons have two basic parts, the warhead, or bomb, and the delivery system. One typical nuclear warhead may cost as much Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 as $53 million. Delivery system is more expensive. Depending on whether it goes by land or by submarine, it can cost as much as $200 million. Do the math. If one nuclear weapon were to be launched, the approximate cost could be as much as $253 million. Everyone in this room could come up with a long list of things our city could do with even one-third of $253 million. Thus, while some of you may think that the possible launch of a nuclear first strike is not relevant to our city, the financial implications are clear. The money could be better spent on schools, housing, infrastructure, healthcare, efforts to fight poverty, as well as those other items you all have on your wish list. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, from where my figures come, the United States will spend some $250 billion on new nuclear warheads and delivery systems in the next Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 few decades. That is roughly equal to 30 years of federal funding for Head Start children. We hope you agree. It is time for our city to call on Congress to act.
Hold on one second, Mr. Decker. The Chair recognizes Councilman O'Neill.
Thank you, Mr. President. I ask permission to leave the Chamber. I won't be back for the meeting. I have Council business in my district, and I'd like to be voting aye on all bills and resolutions except for Resolution 180322. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The record shall reflect that.
Margarita Padin, Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 commenting on 180352 and 170678. (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning. I'm here to support Councilmember Reynolds Brown's 180352 urging Pennsylvania House of Representatives to reject House Bills 1659 and 2138, which would create stringent employment requirements for Pennsylvanians using SNAP and Medicaid benefits. Thank you. As a recipient of SNAP and Medicaid benefits and right now it's almost humanely impossible to comply with the present requirements, I don't see how it could be any more stringent. You know, when you receive these benefits, you've got two weeks to go to a CareerLink and apply and receive employment with certain vendors that are contracted with the CareerLink, and if you don't, you've got to do compulsory volunteer work, and when you're doing that, how can you pursue your employment if your eight hours a day are spent doing Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 volunteer work? And also if you're a union member, you can't work for the people that the CareerLink has their contracts with to send you to majority poverty wages because you have to work with contractors that are signatory to your union, and the only way for you to get these jobs is to be out there looking for work. So I don't see how it humanly would be possible to make these requirements any more stringent. So thank you very much. I'm also here in support of Councilmember Maria Quinones-Sanchez's 170678. As a resident of Philadelphia, I appreciate any efforts for affordable housing. The majority of people that work really hard making poverty wages need a place to live. And I live in a neighborhood where we have affordable housing and we also have the highest rising market-rate housing in the area, so it seems to be able to co-exist, but Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 working people need a place to live. Thank you, Maria.
Clerk, could you read the name of our next speaker, please.
Joe Danihel, commenting on 180303, 180353, and 180004. (Witness approached podium.)
This is an official decree of the people in writ of mandamus quo warranto and, as such, requires immediate action and remedy. Every week Council, Mayor, and others transfer private property to the government, probably illegally. Last week Councilman Domb spoke on the responsibility to pay property taxes. He stated that the government cannot pay its bills without people performing their obligation to pay their taxes. What about the government Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 obligation to pay just compensation and expenses for my stolen home? Since all were not paid with the federal HUD monies, how can Mayor, Council preach to Starbucks that officials are committed to equity and fairness? Constitution and laws require compensation that a well-informed owner would accept as well as reimbursed losses and expenses to be paid. Why has no official demanded investigation and prosecution of how my home was stolen without compensation, due process or Seventh Amendment trial by jury in a clear RICO-style conspiracy to deny rights? The constitutions require immediate remedy of this breach of law, breach of close, breach of fiduciary duty. Your oath of office requires you to act or face prison. 42 USC 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 18 USC 241, 242, 2381, 2384, PA Constitution, Article I, Sections 1 Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 through 11, 26 PA CSA 703, 705, 708, 709, 712, 713, 716, and other laws listed in SCOTUS 15-8965, 14-1330, 14-4056 appear violated. I call for the federal and Commonwealth governments to perform their constitutional obligations to investigate and prosecute all involved in the theft and illegal deed transfer of my home, 1038 West Wyoming Avenue. The denial of God-given 42 USC 1982 property rights for 24 years is egregious, extraordinary, oath-violating, and requires immediate remedy. A just government must obey the rule of law. This color of law government must have its Charter to govern revoked until a constitutionally compliant government is installed. Public servants cannot refuse their sworn duty to act any more than a fireman can refuse to fight a fire. The sovereign people require oath, Constitution, and laws be enforced. Jail Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 is required for all who violate oath, Constitution or law. I remind Council, it takes a lot of cooperation to create and allow monumental corruption.
Thank you. Clerk, would you please read the name for the next testimony, please.
Hello, Councilmembers. Thank you for letting me speak. I'm here to show my support for the unfair rental practices bill introduced by Councilmembers Jones, Parker, and Gym. I have a disability and I work at Liberty Resources. We are a center for independent living, and I want to say on behalf of the disability community, just cause eviction legislation is essential for us. Not only is it sort of unbelievable that this city doesn't have such legislation right now, it takes Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 people with disabilities months, sometimes years, to find housing, and we cannot afford to be on our own and live without. Right now I'm -- in my building I rent, and my wife is eight months pregnant, and our building is being sold to another landlord. And the way things are right now, they could very easily not accept my new lease and I would be trying to look for a new place to live with a four-month-old baby, and that's not something I can do. It took me about a year -- six months to a year to find this current apartment that I'm in. So, again, thank you for hearing me and for introducing this bill, and I appreciate the time. (Applause.)
Samantha Petty, commenting on 170854. (Witness approached podium.) Stated Meeting April 19, 2018
Hello. Thank you for letting me speak today. I'm here about the same bill as the last speaker, requiring good cause for certain residential evictions and to provide a first option for existing tenants to renew a lease. I'd first like to thank City Council for its current focus on affordable housing and eviction prevention. There's been a lot of action around that in a lot of different ways, and that's very meaningful to the City of Philadelphia. On this bill specifically, I'm here as a mom of a medically complex child. It takes us a very long time to find housing that's on one floor and has an elevator for my child's wheelchair and medical equipment. I do not personally fear eviction. I am quite economically stable. I have a lot of educational access and white privilege that allows me Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 to not let my landlord intimidate me when I ask for reasonable accommodations for my child, but I'd like to represent my child's classmates today and their families who do not have the same access that I do and are often intimidated by their landlords and evicted without any cause given. Eviction in our city affects one out of 14 Philadelphia renters. I believe it's a poverty issue because it causes poverty. It's not just a symptom of not being able to pay your rent. It's a fair housing issue, because it disproportionately affects women of color and children, and those are classes protected under fair housing law. It's also a big public health issue for children like mine and also other children who are moved into substandard housing when their parents have evictions on their record, and reasonable landlords do not want to rent to people with recent evictions on their Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 record. I'm really proud of our efforts in early education. I work in that sector as a peer specialist for other parents of kids with disabilities, and I can't tell you how many kids we lose track of every week because their parents are evicted and we can't give them services because we can't find them again because evictions happen so quickly, the parents don't have time to contact us and set up a new place for us to meet their kids and provide services in their homes. We are facing cuts federally for protections to fair housing. The most recent HUD budget no longer allows us to use federal dollars to affirmatively further fair housing. This is a very important part of our job as a city, and I think we can step up locally, and passing good cause evictions means that we will protect fair housing for our citizens. And, finally, I think good Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 policy supports other existing policy and that this change will support the $500,000 budget recently won by Council for eviction court and our beverage tax that helps with early education in keeping our kids stable and educated. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
Ikey Raw, commenting on 170854. (Witness approached podium.)

Thank you very much, Council President. There have been a lot of issues that have faced the City, and fortunately the media has reported on it, and I appreciate all the Councilmembers who have been very actively engaged. I would like to talk about Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 something, however, that I came across last week. While I was away, a woman came and left me a booklet, and it was about her son. His name is Eric Mann. And I agreed to meet her, but she wanted me to read the booklet, and I did read the booklet, and it reminded me of something that I had experienced many years ago as an attorney and, that is, when I came across Pennsylvania's Post Conviction Relief Act. I'd like to talk a little bit about it because I will introduce a resolution next week calling upon the State Legislature to amend and reform this Act. I have asked my staff to contact Harrisburg. I will go visit them. The first page of the book that she left me, which is evidence of proof of incidence, is an opinion written by Justice James Fitzgerald, who was specially assigned to Superior Court, and he wrote in concurrence or agreement with the decision that the law was being Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 followed, but this is what he said. He said, I write separately only to express my utmost displeasure with the Post Conviction Relief Act's failure to facilitate justice in this case, where it is clear to all that it is likely that an innocent man sits behind bars for no better reason than a poorly conceived statute. No system of criminal justice is perfect. However, a system of criminal justice that prevents the correction of obvious errors is easily improved, if only the Legislature could see fit to do it. This case, in summary, is about a man who was accused of shooting from a terrace another man. A witness, a single witness, said he saw him from a terrace shoot downward and kill the man. At the hearing, there were three alibi witnesses sitting in court, but the attorney never called them to testify. And later, many years later after the conviction, it was found that likely the defense attorney Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 the prosecution that they had an alibi witness and, therefore, could not present the alibi witness. Since that time, the single eyewitness recanted, saying that he did not tell the truth. 32 caliber weapon, firing horizontally and from down to up. It would be scientifically impossible for the person on the terrace to have shot the bullets that killed this person. He has spent 26 years in jail. Here is the problem with Pennsylvania's Post Conviction Relief Act, and I did run into this decades ago, and fortunately for the person I represented in a very long process through a writ of habeas corpus in the Federal Court, the evidence against him was found to be unreliable and he was set free. Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 once a person is found guilty in Pennsylvania and the appeals are exhausted, a defendant may file post-conviction relief, and there are limited grounds. Ineffective assistance of counsel is one. Newly discovered evidence is the other. However, you have to file within a year, and if you have newly discovered evidence, you have to file within 60 days of the knowledge of that evidence. That may sound simple enough, but in Pennsylvania, the standards are too strict. They're too hard. It's hard to overcome these standards, because for ineffective assistance of counsel, it is different than medical malpractice.
The standard is that no competent attorney would have done what the attorney did in either -- particularly excluding or not including evidence of innocence, and that evidence has to be of a certain category and, therefore, if an attorney committed malpractice, what I would say is Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 malpractice, that will not provide the defendant an opportunity to have his case heard or the evidence heard. The other issue is that in Pennsylvania, newly discovered evidence is not evidence that you just find. It's evidence that you should have found, could have found, but didn't find. And in Pennsylvania, no matter how poorly represented you are, how illogically you are represented, how terribly you're represented, as long as your lawyer told you what he was going to do -- and most people rely on their lawyers -- you don't have an appealable basis. I think that the Pennsylvania Post Conviction Relief Act needs to be amended so that people who have evidence, newly discovered evidence, scientific evidence, recanting of evidence, evidence of attorney malpractice, can appeal and present their evidence, because the way it is right now, it is just nearly impossible in our state. Stated Meeting April 19, 2018
Thank you, Councilman. Speeches on behalf of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown.
Thank you, Mr. President. I have one announcement and remarks I wish to make. First, my favorite writer, Maya Angelou, once remarked, quote, Success is loving life and daring to live it. I rise this morning to inform my colleagues and staff that Haniyyah Sharpe-Brown for the last two years has loved her work in our office, but has dared to live life and move on. She's been offered -- made an offer she cannot refuse, a career opportunity she cannot refuse, and has chosen to move on and make another corner of the world distinctively hers. So I want all to join me in Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 Haniyyah Sharpe-Brown. (Applause.)
Secondly, Mr. President, on a personal but also a very professional note, Councilman Goode has always been my leader, my teacher, my hero when it comes to any and all issues that remotely touch the song known as diversity and inclusion. This morning I, along with Councilman Kenyatta Johnson and Chair of the Committee on Labor and Civil Service, Councilwoman Cherelle Parker, coupled with co-sponsorship by members Gym and Green, have offered a resolution, because given the song we've been singing for the last 20-plus years, diversity and inclusion is still not well in the City of Philadelphia. The expulsion, arrest, and detainment of two African American men at Starbucks in Philadelphia last week never should have happened. We know that Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 brown people, women happens all the time. It happens because this country suffers from a history of inequality and racism, from slavery to Jim Crow. It happens because the biases and stereotypes created in our history, like the movie Birth of a Nation, still live with us today profoundly. It is because of this history that we end up with a neighborhood where African Americans are 3 percent of the residents. Let me repeat that. African Americans are 3 percent of the residents, yet 67 percent of the police stop and frisk, according to the ACLU. So I join many across the City and, quite frankly, around the country, but locally a number of institutions, including our own City of Philadelphia and Starbucks and other companies, who take full responsibility to not only acknowledge the power of these biases and stereotypes but, more importantly, to Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 hiring and advancement practices to modernize policies and procedures. We need to look at how well we're not doing in this area. So clearly it is now time for City Council and the City of Philadelphia to again lead by example by doing two things. Let's first evaluate best practices that work, look to see how effective they are with regards to training in the area of implicit bias and racial equity, and then look to see what we can adopt as a city so that we can lead by example from this day going forward. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson.
Thank you, Council President. And I want to also thank my colleague Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown for staying on the case Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 the plate with my other fellow Councilmembers with me last week in the Second Councilmanic District as we address the issue of racial profiling in the Starbucks cafe at 18th and Spruce Streets. By this point, I think we're all aware of the racial profiling incident that took place last week where two African American young men at the Starbucks located at 18th and Spruce Streets were arrested. If you had told me a week ago I'd meet the founder of Starbucks this week as a result of racial profiling in the Second Councilmanic District, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Nevertheless, here we are. Privately I met with members of the local Starbucks team, including the founder of the company, Howard Schultz, to address the issues and concerns regarding to my constituents. I have to personally commend their executives for showing up in person and listening to Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 say and taking steps pretty immediately to address racial profiling in their stores. My fellow Councilmembers and myself and advocates stood outside on the corner of 18th and Spruce Streets and demanded an apology and also expected -and also addressed the issue of, beyond just an apology, for Starbucks to take seriously by addressing the issue of sensitivity training in their stores, because we have come to learn that this is not an isolated incident only in the City of Philadelphia. In the last few days, the company has announced it will close 8,000 stores on the afternoon of May the 29th for what they call unconscious bias training. This is a step in the right direction in Philadelphia and across the country, but to me I must personally say it's not enough. The company has work to do here in the City of Philadelphia to regain the trust of customers and restore Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 portrays as a welcoming environment for people to meet up and hang inside their establishment. The two young men affected, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, have spoken out publicly for the first time this morning offering their perspective on the event and also asking to be a part of clear policy changes. Those two young men have experienced a deep level of trauma as a result of being arrested for doing nothing. We will continue to have conversations with local residents and the company leadership to see what more can be done moving forward to ensure all of our citizens feel welcome in the Starbucks cafe. We need to be sure that there are clear policies uniformly applied across the board for everyone to adhere to and that employees are not set up to use their discretion for failure. However, even more, we need to engage with the Philadelphia Police Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 improve community and police relations. Most of you know that police have a tremendous amount of discretion and have the opportunity to make decisions on the drop of a dime whether they would like to arrest someone or not. You can look on social media on any given day at any given time and see officers engaged in their level of discretion when it comes to if they would like to arrest someone or not regarding to the circumstances of the issue at hand. I will be meeting with Commissioner Ross to address the Philadelphia Police Department's policies regarding rules of engagement as well as when is discretion used and how is that discretion used, and also looking at the issue of racial profiling, particularly in the Second Councilmanic District, as the figures that were released by ACLU were just mentioned by my colleague Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown.
Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 the customers and advocates who documented this incident and brought national media attention to this issue. As a city, we're in a unique position now that we weren't in last week to have a real conversation and open up a dialogue about racial profiling in our city and what it looks like in 2018. There's an international spotlight on Philadelphia right now documenting how we handle this, whether we like it or not, and on our Police Department and the Starbucks corporation telling the story of race relations in America. Hopefully we can use it as a platform where we want to continue to advocate for a better way of handling situations in public and private spaces and show the world how Philadelphia will go about implementing real change and making progress as it relates to race relations. I am encouraged by the positive steps we're taking right now, and they Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 significant, but as I mentioned before, it's not enough. Again, I want to thank my colleagues for over the last few weeks and over this last week just being supportive and having the dialogue and conversing with me about the various ways in approaching this issue, and Council President, thank you for your time.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.
Thank you, Mr. President. Let me say that I am proud of and I certainly agree with Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown and Councilman Kenyatta Johnson. Let me also say that I want to thank and agree with Councilman Oh about what he's saying, and we're proud to support anything we can do to support him in what he says about making the law fairer for people who have been Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 Finally, I wanted to say to all those who listen, please make sure that April -- the end of April is coming soon on our parking amnesty program. Please make sure you take advantage of it. We have already brought in $1,430,295 with cash payments and payment plans. We brought that into the City with this amnesty plan. So please, John and Jane Q. Public, please come forward, take advantage of this, because the end of April is coming soon. We said they should extend it another 30 days, but of course we can't get that. We did try. So do what you can to let your people know time is running short. And we're so happy. People didn't agree with this, but bringing in $1 and a half million already certainly makes a big difference. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Stated Meeting April 19, 2018
Thank you. I want to remind folks that we have an L&I hearing scheduled for 1:00. We will delay that to 1:15 given where we are right now. It's important to note the intersectionality of some of the issues that we talk about, and I definitely want to join Councilwoman Reynolds Brown in speaking of the work that Wilson Goode did here in Council around inclusion and how all these things come together. I personally want to thank you, Council President, for the RFP on the OPA assessments. As we're in the middle of this budget discussion, it's very important definitely as Chair of Appropriations that we really demonstrate to folks that we're being good stewards of their money. Last year I introduced a bill to review the state code and the matrix by which assessments are conducted in the Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 Philadelphia, and the law clearly stipulates that we cannot use unrealized value of abatements so that we don't overvalue, overassess, and overburden longtime residents. Last week Councilman Johnson introduced a resolution, and we'll work jointly on that public discussion that's so very important, and clearly your RFP is complementary to that work. Today, along with Councilman Johnson and Councilman Green, Councilwoman Blackwell, Councilman Jones, Councilwoman Bass, and Reynolds Brown, we are calling for another public discussion that we believe is extremely timely about our capital and professional contracting for the City of Philadelphia, not only in the General Fund but also in our enterprise funds. In our public discussions over the last couple of weeks, it's alarming that we don't have articulated standards and that departments have a lot of Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 RFPs, how they award contracts, whether it's the lowest responsible bidder, best value as it gets incorporated, but the level of discretion is concerning. It's further alarming that our numbers are decreasing given the Mayor's public commitment to inclusion and Council's work around this issue. That's why I think it's necessary for us to have a very public discussion and develop standards that hold contractors and vendors responsible to meet their participation goals. Ultimately if we don't debar and fire people, they're not going to take us serious. But, more importantly, that we hold the departments responsible to reach the goals, because we are talking about a five-year $10.8 billion capital fund, and when you look at our enterprise funds such as the Water Department at $4.8 billion, we got to show people, not just tell people, that we're being responsible, and I look Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 discussion as we've always had in Council to bring added value and added discussion within the Administration and Council on these important issues. Thank you, Council President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Bass.
Thank you, Mr. President. I just want to take a moment to invite everyone over to the Caucus Room. I know we have a lot happening today after session, but I wanted to invite everyone over to the Caucus Room immediately after session for a lunch briefing on Community HealthChoices. This is Pennsylvania's new mandatory managed care program for individuals who are eligible for both medical assistance and Medicare, older adults and individuals with physical disabilities. Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 rolling out across the state since the beginning of this year and will go into effect in Philadelphia next January, and it's going to have a significant impact. It's going to impact thousands of our residents, many of whom may either be unaware of the change or have concerns about these changes and what it can mean for their healthcare. So we certainly hope folks can come over after the session and get some valuable information that can be shared with all of our constituents. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.
Thank you, Council President. This week we remembered the six million Jews killed in concentration camps during World War II. My grandfather came here in 1915. He was Stated Meeting April 19, 2018 eight aunts and uncles were all killed in concentration camps, so were my great-grandparents, so were their children, including a two-year-old. Everyone perished except my grandfather. No one spoke for them. The world was silent. No one spoke. I see what happened this past week in Philadelphia, and I'm glad that we do speak for people who need our voice. That's a good thing. Thank you.
