Good morning. We're going to get started. If members will take their seats. To give our invocation this morning, the Chair recognizes the Reverend Bonnie Camarda from the Salvation Army. She is here today as the guest of Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez. I would ask all guests, members, and visitors to please rise. (Councilmembers, guests, and visitors rise.)
Our prayer today comes from Psalm 9. It says, I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High. My enemies turn back. They Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 you, for you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the righteous judge. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies. You have uprooted their cities. Even the memory of them has perished. The Lord reigns forever. He has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the people with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Father, we just thank you for this body. Lord, I pray that their work will be guided by your principles, that they will look after the widow, the orphan, and the disenfranchised with equal consideration given to the special Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Be mindful of the words in the Old Testament and let you reign in our city.

We genuinely appreciate you being here. We hope your stay here today is a knowledgeable one but, more importantly, a pleasurable one, so much so that you come back again. So, again, thank you for being here. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Bass, who will present a resolution honoring community leaders. Would Dr. Arlene Bennett and those accompanying her please join the Councilwoman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
And joining Councilwoman Bass, we have Councilman Oh, Councilman Taubenberger, Councilman Greenlee, Councilwoman Blackwell, and also have Councilman Squilla, and also joining the Councilwoman, our honorees. In addition to Dr. Arlene Bennett, we have the Reverend Frank Crangle, Oliver Adams, Nate "Mister" Miller, also known as Champ, Bishop Leonard Goins, and Reverend Joseph Williams. True, true honorees.
Well, one of the things that we love to do in the Eighth District is recognize the folks who have been out on the ground doing hard work in our communities for a very long time, and these are our unsung heroins and heroes that have been working, working, working diligently Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 communities, and we wanted to take a moment once again and say thank you to a group of individuals who have really left their mark on the Eighth District and continue to do so. I don't want to say past tense, because they continue to do so up until this very present moment. And so we wanted to recognize folks from the community, and we want to read this resolution, which reads: Honoring and recognizing Dr. Arlene Bennett, Reverend Frank Crangle, Oliver Adams, Nate "Mister" Miller, Bishop Leonard Goins, and Reverend Joseph Williams on their legacies of leadership and achievement in medicine, sports, the arts, and community service in the City of Philadelphia. Whereas, in 1964, Dr. Arlene Bennett became the first African American female to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. Dr. Bennett considers herself Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 up surrounded by accomplished and supportive women and never felt restricted by the gender and racial biases of the time. After graduating, she completed her internship at Pennsylvania Presbyterian Medical Center, followed by a residency in psychiatry at Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute. She has been an active staff psychiatrist at Pennsylvania Hospital since 1980, a Clinical Associate at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania since 1977, and continues her work in private practice; and
Whereas, Reverend Frank Crangle joined the Philadelphia Police Department in 1982 and later the Philadelphia Police Chaplains after accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He rose through the ranks and now serves as President of the 14th Police District Chaplains where they hold prayer walks, visit the sick and infirm, and encourage officers, local Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 ministries, and community groups with words from the Bible. Reverend Crangle praises God for continuing to bless his ministry and also for those he has put in his life, including his pastor, fellow police chaplains, Police Commissioner Richard Ross, and other City leaders. He stands willing to help without hesitation whenever called upon and trusts God to always lead and guide him in all things; and
Whereas, several decades ago Oliver Adams, who owned a successful bakery in Northwest Philadelphia for over 30 years, came up with the idea of a national symbol which recognizes the diaspora of Black Americans. He believed that the term "Afro Americans" more accurately reflected the many nationalities that encompass African heritage, including, to name a few, Jamaicans, Haitians, Canadian, Ugandans, Somalians, and Liberians. In 1987, Mr. Adams Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 "Thank God I'm Afro American." A copy of the logo hangs in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in Atlanta. He continues to market his logo nationwide and hopes it will become a national symbol for Afro Americans in the United States and around the world; and
Whereas, the boxing legacy of Nate "Mister" Miller began in Germantown where a troubled kid off the streets grew up to look at the world in a different way. Mr. Miller started turning his life around when he began training as a teenager at Happy Hollow Recreation Center where he eventually became a Golden Gloves Champion. His first title came from the North American Boxing Federation in 1989 on a seventh-round knockout of Bert Cooper. In 1995, when he was 31 years old, Mr. Miller won his first world title, knocking out Orlin Norris in the eighth round to take the WBA cruiserweight crown, and defending his Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 retiring in 2001 after accumulating a record of 31 and 9 with 27 knockouts; and
Whereas, in 1982, Bishop Leonard Goins founded Chestnut Hill Church of God and Christ, which began as a storefront church at 22 East Mount Airy Avenue and is now the headquarters for the Lion of Judah Pentecostal Churches International. Bishop Goins came to the Lord at a very early age, and his love, devotion, and desire to spread God's Holy Word culminated with his ordination in 1971. Bishop Goins served as the State Evangelist for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Churches of God and Christ, President of the Philadelphia Law Enforcement Clergy Support Unit, and Founder of the Pentecostal Clergy Political Advisory Council of Philadelphia where he continues to provide a voice for Pentecostal Churches among the City's political, social, and Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 institutions; and
Whereas, Reverend Joseph Williams serves as Pastor of the Mount Airy United Fellowship Church and has experienced a memorable journey from music to ministries as the youngest living member of the legendary group the Dixie Hummingbirds, a pioneering force behind the modern gospel quartet whose imaginative arrangements, progressive harmony and all-around versatility made them one of the most successful groups of their era. Reverend Williams started singing when he was five years old and would eventually travel the world as a professional singer, joining a number of popular groups of the time, including the Gospel Stirrers and Sons of the Birds. He later recorded with the original Dixie Hummingbirds before being called to the ministry; therefore, be it
Resolved, the Council of the City of Philadelphia honors and recognizes Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Bennett, Reverend Frank Crangle, Oliver Adams, Nate "Mister" Miller, Bishop Leonard Goins, Reverend Joseph Williams on their legacies of leadership and achievement in medicine, sports, the arts, and community service in the City of Philadelphia.
And further resolved, that an engrossed copy of this resolution be presented to each honoree as evidence of the sincere respect and admiration of this legislative body. Congratulations to all of our honorees. (Applause.)
And I did want to add that Dr. Bennett has been really like a mother to me and a mother figure. So I'd like for her to come forward. And I know the Council President will recognize her, but I did want to acknowledge and I forgot to have her come forward when we were doing the resolution, as well as Ministry Crangle. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 (Applause.)
So I have like my mom and also Bishop Goins, who is like my dad. So they're both here today. Thank you so much.
Thank you. President Clarke, members of Council, and fellow citizens of Philadelphia, it's an honor and pleasure to be here today. It's a pleasure and an honor to speak on behalf of my fellow colleagues on the stage. Our commitment to Philadelphia is unending. I think we all accept our work as a calling, and we will continue to do everything that we can to leave the world and Philadelphia a little better than what it was when we first came. Thank you. (Applause.) Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Thank you very much. Council will be at ease. (Council at ease.)
Thank you, and congratulations. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Jones, who will present a resolution recognizing the Father's Day Rally Committee. Would Bilal Qayyum and those accompanying him please join the Councilman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)
And joining the Councilman, we have Councilman Green, Councilman Oh, Councilwoman Blackwell, Councilwoman Parker, Councilman Johnson, and Councilwoman Quinones-Sanchez and Councilwoman Bass.
So out of all of the titles that I've had in my life, none is greater than the title of Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 "father" to me. When you fly a plane, you need a license. When you drive a car, you need lessons. When you have a block party in the City of Philadelphia, you need a permit. But to be a father, there is no experience required. Some fathers that I've met that have been slightly derelict in their duties, leaving those responsibilities to the mother, and they gave me an excuse of saying that I can't afford to be a father, I would submit to them and those who are listening that you cannot afford not to be a father. The cost to those young people and society is too great in the absence of a father in a household to balance the dining room table in a household, often, too often, left up to the mother. For those out there that will be experiencing Father's Day with the title, quote, "stepdad," you get two thumbs up, because you signed up Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 responsibility, and kudos to you. So recognizing the Father's Day Rally Committee for its 30th year of existence highlighting the importance of fathers in our city and in our community and nationally. Today we have Kasim Ali, Vernon Brown, Kevin Bell, and our own Bilal Qayyum. And I want to say, are we still having the Father's Day softball game? Do we intend to win this year? All right. Thank you. We won last year? So maybe it's because I didn't come to the game we won. Is that what you're saying? I'm coming this year. Recognizing and celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Father's Day Rally Committee and their efforts and initiatives that have positively impacted the quality of life of African American communities and men of color in the City of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Whereas, the Father's Day Rally Committee was created three decades ago by a group of African American men who saw the need to develop meaningful programs and activities for the African American male population of Philadelphia; and
Whereas, the founding members of the Father's Day Rally Committee were Dr. Therman Evans, Reverend Clarence Hester, Steve Pina, Vernon Price, Bilal Qayyum of the Ninth Councilmanic District, and Reverend Henry Wells; and
Whereas, the mission of the Father's Day Rally Committee is to promote positive action and interaction among individuals to prompt a more aggressive hands-on approach toward resolving a range of problems confronting African American communities, such as violence and a lack of effective youth mentorship; and Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
I'm going to take a point of personal privilege and personally thank the Father's Day Rally. It's been almost a decade, right, Bilal, they started the Jackie Robinson/Roberto Clemente exchange, and I've been happy to participate in that. And I value and appreciate the fact that the strong African American male leadership thought it was important enough to reach out to Puerto Rican and Latino men, and I appreciate that personally and on behalf of the men, the fathers in the Latino community. So thank you very much, gentlemen. Whereas, since its creation, the Father's Day Rally Committee has initiated several valuable programs, such as the David P. Richardson, Jr. Rites of Passage Program, which caters to African American males ages 11 through 18. The program focuses on helping youth with the transition into responsible manhood; and Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Whereas, the Father's Day Rally Committee also created, quote/unquote, "Operation Footprint," a mentoring program for high school students in Philadelphia's public school system, and, quote/unquote, "Project Safe Life," an initiative offering counseling to at-risk males, teaching non-violent alternatives to confrontational behavior and providing support to men and fathers who have lost a loved one due to violence; and
Whereas, the Father's Day Rally Committee has also coordinated several events, including the "Live and Let Live Campaign," which was a citywide anti-violence effort to stop senseless acts of violence in our city. Additionally, the organization has an annual Father's Day Picnic which has reached over 10,000 fathers in 30 years, to celebrate fatherhood and honor fathers who are making a significant contribution to their families and communities; and Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Whereas, the Father's Day Rally Committee continues to serve as a strong support system for African American men and fathers, helping them to flourish despite the daily pressures of our society. For the past 30 years, the Father's Day Rally Committee has remained committed to reducing violence in our communities by advocating positive interaction among men, and their dedication and achievements should be celebrated; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia, that it hereby recognizes and celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Father's Day Rally Committee and their efforts and initiatives that have positively impacted the quality of life of African American communities and men of color in the City of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley Region. Further resolved, that an Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 resolution be presented to the Father's Day Rally Committee as evidence of the sincere respect and admiration of this legislative body. (Applause.)
And the Chair recognizes Mr. Qayyum for remarks.
-- President Clarke and also members of City Council. I want to -- all fathers, would you please stand up. If you're a father, stand up. (Applause.)
Thank you very much, because that's the whole mission of Father's Day Rally Committee, is raise the bar for fathers in the City of Philadelphia. When Mother's Day comes around, mom gets everything. We be lucky to get a card. And I remember one Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 -- I have five kids and 14 grand-kids and two great grand-kids, and I remember one year they gave me a clip-on tie. That was my gift for Father's Day. All right? I ain't going to tell you what I got my wife and what she got. So we raised the bar in the City of Philadelphia, and we're very proud. This is our 30th anniversary. We also this year, like we did last year, we have, after the celebration of fathers, programs, a whole week. Starting last weekend, every day this week there's been an activity with fathers and groups, and some of the organizations with me this morning are participating in that. And as I speak today, Frontline Dads are bailing fathers out of jail today so they can be home for Father's Day. They bailed out five fathers. (Applause.)
Because we got to build a movement, and we've been building Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 City to get more men and fathers involved in their children's lives. If we have a father in the house, it's a big difference. All the national statistics show when there's a father around, the child is most likely to graduate high school. That child will most likely not get involved in negative behavior and go to jail. That child would live a better life, healthy life. So we have to get fathers involved more and more. And fathers are involved. So I would like just to thank Council for this resolution. I'm not sure if I'm going to be around for another 30 years, but I would like to just thank everybody for your support and your continued support of the Father's Day Rally Committee and our mission to promote fatherhood in the City of Philadelphia as well as you heard being very much involved in trying to reduce Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 the City of Philadelphia. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
Thank you, and congratulations. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.
Thank you, Mr. President. We are happy today to welcome Pastor Ruth Vincent-Washington and the members of the First Haitian Church of God of Philadelphia today in City Council. They are celebrating their 40th anniversary and have done much important work in the Haitian community right here in Philadelphia.
Thank you. Thank you for being here today. (Applause.) Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Thank you. We genuinely appreciate you being here today. Thank you so much. The Chair now recognizes Councilman Derek Green.
Thank you, Council President. Last week myself, other members of Council, and the Mayor had an opportunity to celebrate the kick-off of pride in the City of Philadelphia by raising the pride flag, celebrating Pride Month, which celebrates LGBTQIA individuals in the City of Philadelphia. Later that day I had a chance to talk with a young man who is a friend of mine, which happened to unfortunately be the last pride event that he was able to celebrate. Later that day and early that morning we learned about the Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Austin, a young man who I got to know over the past couple years. I actually ran track with his father in high school. So there was a memorial last week at William Way Community Center. I know there will be a service this weekend. And to honor his life and his leadership not only as a member of the Sheriff's Office, but in the LGBTQIA community, I hope that we can all stand for a moment of silence.
Thank you, Councilman. Our next order of business is communications, and the Chair requests that the Sergeant-of-Arms delivers the messages from the Mayor to the Chief Clerk. Mr. Decker, please read those messages. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019

When the light turns yellow, you will have 30 seconds to conclude your comments, and when the light turns red, we ask that you please conclude your remarks and adhere to our guidelines.

Dr. Marilyn Howarth, commenting on 180936. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon. Good morning. My name is Dr. Marilyn Howarth and I'm an occupational and environmental medicine physician working in Philadelphia for the last 25 years. I'd like to thank Philadelphia City Council for the opportunity to submit these comments in support of the lead remediation funding in the budget Bill 190154. The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, one of the oldest and respected medical organizations in the country, has submitted in writing an Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 issue brief supporting the need to take action to protect children from lead. My testimony today is on behalf of the College of Physicians and the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. Thousands of research articles on lead exposure document its health effects on children in the first few years of life. Lead kills nerves in the brain and leaves others impaired, interfering with thinking and behavior. Researchers at our center have found that early life exposure to lead results in lasting sleep deprivation. Having a good night's sleep is very important and is actually essential to health, well-being, and learning. Our researchers have documented decreased IQ and behavior problems in lead-exposed children. Every year in Philadelphia, about 2,400 children have blood lead Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 levels over five micrograms per deciliter. These children have been robbed of their full academic potential with lifelong consequences. Every day children in Philadelphia are being poisoned. That is why your action to approve this bill can't wait. Physicians in Philadelphia want you to know that there is no effective treatment once a child has been exposed to lead. The damage is permanent. Primary prevention that this bill offers eliminates the primary source of lead, and this strategy has been found to be the best way to protect children. In Philadelphia, the majority of children with elevated blood lead levels were exposed in rental properties, mainly in poor African American neighborhoods. This is an environmental injustice. We urge City Council to enact this bill now to protect the most vulnerable. The data tells us that a delay in passing of the lead-safe Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 certification of all rental properties even by two to three months --
-- would result in hundreds of children harmed in Philadelphia.
Thank you for your testimony. Again, I just wanted to remind you all, we have to alter the timeframe, so please alter your testimony to reflect the two minutes today. We got a lot of people that want to testify, and we want to make sure everybody has an opportunity. Thank you. Mr. Decker, please call the next name.
Donna Cooper, commenting on 190154. (Witness approached podium.) Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Good afternoon. I want to thank Councilmembers for enacting a budget today that increases our funds for our libraries. Great move. You're also increasing the funds for summer youth employment programs. Great move. I really appreciate that. Twelve of you signed a letter earlier this week asking the School District to increase its investments to remove mold, asbestos, and lead from its school buildings. You're making an enormous transfer of City revenues to the School District, and that ask is the minimum of what they need to do. An additional $30 million should be spent for that out of the School District's fund balance, which is very significant. So great move on the part of City Council. Bad move, today the lead bill was delayed. We began work on this bill with the great Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown on October 25th, 2018, 240 Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 days ago. In that period, working on the assumption that an average of six children are poisoned by lead every single day, 1,440 children poisoned by lead likely since the beginning when we started working on this bill. The time to act is now. We know that this Council has enough votes to act on behalf of children. You're showing you're doing that today with the budget. You showed you did that with your letter to the School District. We're asking you to show you can do that again and act on this lead bill before you recess for this summer. Our children are depending on you. (Applause.)
Erin Blair, commenting on 190154. (Witness approached podium.)
Hi. My name is Erin Blair. I'm here today -- I know we're speaking to the budget, and I am also here as a public health nurse speaking about the consequences of delaying this bill for the passage of lead. I appreciate that funding for moving forward with legislation is a big part as well, and I hope to see in the budget that some of the allocations towards housing might go towards assisting landlords in remediating lead that are unable to afford to do so by themselves. But every day we delay this bill, six children may be poisoned. I'm waiting on every single phone call I'm going to receive between now and the passage of this bill for another mom that's been unfairly discriminated against for her housing, for another mom calling crying in tears because she found out her baby has a lead level of five, a lead level of seven, a Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 lead level of ten, a lead level of 15. Permanent brain damage. That happens in homes in Philadelphia every single day. People are profiting off poisoning children. We need to fix that. Thank you.
Caitlyn Kubiak, commenting on 190154. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon. My name is Caitlyn and I am the parent of a beautiful baby boy. When I was almost eight months pregnant with my son, my landlord told me that he would not be renewing my lease when it was up, as he does not rent out to people under the age of five. This is because of the lead that was possibly in the building and he didn't want to be held liable. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Upset about this, I reached out to the property manager, and he confirmed that they would not renew my lease in two months, the exact time my son was due. He told me they didn't know if my apartment had lead problems and that they were not obligated to test for it, because I was already living in the building. I lived in this apartment for a while. It was my home. The property manager even told me that I was one of his best tenants because I never caused any problems and I always paid my rent on time, but that they would still not be renewing my lease. This didn't seem right to me, so I called the nurse who was caring for me during my pregnancy, and she spoke with the lawyers at her office that helped with housing laws. It turned out my landlord shouldn't have been kicking me out because I was pregnant and would soon have a baby living with me, but the lawyer also said my landlord was not Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 obligated to test my unit. My landlord said I could pay for the lead test, but that if the test came back positive, he didn't have to fix it and wouldn't renew my lease. It was such an awful time. I had been a really great tenant there, and I had done nothing wrong. At this point, I decided it wasn't worth fighting to try to stay. It was really hard to move at eight months pregnant, and if I hadn't found a place, I had no idea where I could have gone, where would I have put all my stuff. Packing and moving was exhausting. I wasn't even able to lift any heavy stuff, so I had to get help. It was so stressful, which worried me, because I know stress isn't good for a baby during pregnancy. I also had to spend the money that I had saved up for my unpaid maternity leave. I had to spend that to find a new house. The lead law needs to be Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 changed in Philadelphia to protect moms and babies right now so they don't have to go through the same thing I did. I urge you all to act now before break to prevent the next baby like mine from being harmed. Thank you. (Applause.)
Lisa Quattlebaum, commenting on 190154. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon. My name is Lisa Quattlebaum. I'm a former educator, community leader, environmental justice advocate, Food and Health Policy Advisory Board member, and parent at Powel Elementary School. I'm here to testify on Bill 190154. In this year's budget, this Council once again committed the revenue to our schools that our young people deserve. I'm here to thank Council for its demonstrated commitment to our schools and to challenge you to continue Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 to do so and to show your service to the community by pushing the School District to allocate a small portion of its fund balance to funding urgent facility repairs. My philosophy of education is rooted in the conviction that excellence in education means scholarship, character development, and citizenship expressed through to service to self, family, and community, the environment, the world. While the School District and newly formed Board of Education has placed much-needed emphasis on comprehensive teaching and learning standards, parent engagement, inclusive and equitable best practices, it has neglected the physical structures and spaces where inquiry, discovery, and mastery takes place. The learning environment, the classroom, the playground, the schools and facilities, as well as the communities' resources, including parks Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 in neighborhoods, must encourage students to consider and respect the variety of perspectives, including their own. Yet this is virtually impossible when students face worn and hazardous spaces that distract from learning and, quite frankly, place in critical harm. Having lived and worked abroad for more than a decade, I've seen incredible interpretations of school. This is not the school that my hometown should have. Thank you. (Applause.)
Gretchen Walker, commenting on 190154. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon. My name is Gretchen Walker. I am also a parent at Powel School and I am the Home and School President there. I am here to testify on Bill 190154. I'd like to thank Council and especially Council President for your Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 commitment to invest in our City schools for our children and for our city's future. This year, the School District has a surplus. It's been mentioned now twice in testimony. I am asking for you to continue to push the School District to allocate a small portion of its fund balance to funding urgent facilities repairs, specifically $30 million. A majority of Council has already signed on to a letter -- Donna Cooper mentioned it -- to the School District with this ask, and basically I'm preaching to the choir and just hoping the rest of you will start to sing harmony on this matter. And if in fact the burden of the school to fix all the repairs is what COO Danielle Floyd has stated last fall as 4 billion, why, you may ask, why $30 million right now? Because each child's needs are priceless. Facilities' needs cascade and compound losses for every child affected. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 So $30 million repairs can make a big improvement for a lot of children's lives. Part of this 30 million will go to asthma control or remediation of mold that produces asthma reactions. Just this year, more needed to be remediated in a music facility at Powel, which means instruction was interrupted for six months. That's one child times 30 in a classroom, times two classrooms, times five grades did not get an opportunity. These opportunities lost do not get regained. Please do the $30 million right now to support children. (Applause.)
Audra Wolfe, commenting on 181063-A. (Witness approached podium.)
My name is Audra Wolfe and I'm a member of POWER, Philadelphians Organized to Witness, Empower, and Rebuild. I'm here to Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 testify on Bill 181063 authorizing construction of a liquefied natural gas facility. Most of you are familiar with POWER and are aware that we represent more than 30,000 people. We fight for racial, economic, and environmental justice. POWER is also a member of the No LNG Coalition, a group that includes 30 organizations across the City. You've heard from us and our allies over the past few weeks on the need for the City to plan for a just transition to use renewable energy to heat buildings across Philadelphia. We're grateful to City Councilpersons Helen Gym and Curtis Jones for committing to vote no on the LNG project. We need that kind of leadership in a time of climate emergency. We hope that other members of Council will join them. The question of whether we as a city should be investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure should no longer be Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 subject to debate. The conversation should instead and must be about how we equitably, justly, and quickly transition away from fossil fuels to ensure that our city, our children, and our future have healthy air and water, a liveable climate, and sacred land to live upon. The conversation must move away from pitting labor against the health and well-being of humanity and instead rethink how we respond to the climate crisis together. The climate crisis is exacerbating racial inequality and already harming our communities. To quote Reverend Holston, we are bringing a watering can to a house fire. We need a comprehensive and urgent approach to this problem, and we need it now. Transitions are always painful, but they can also create opportunities to re-envision our future. And we don't have to just dream. We can look at other cities that have done it. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Commit to this conversation. You'll be hearing from us more in the future, and please oppose this facility. Thank you. (Applause.)
I think it's important that I amplify and underscore the request made very graciously of President Clarke. Everybody has a voice. Everyone will have their say. Let's be fair with the two minutes that he has requested of all of us. Chief Clerk.
Thank you. I thank City Council for allowing me to be here today. My name is Mark Clincy, a member of Philly Thrive and a resident of South Philadelphia. Some of you have already heard what I had to say, but you haven't listened, which is why I'm back Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 here today. This is a very important issue. We don't want the LNG plant in South Philadelphia. Many of you may know that there is a polluting oil refinery in South Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Energy Solutions. This LNG plant may not pollute as much as the refinery, but adding additional pollution in the area is way too much. Like the refinery, the LNG plant will contribute to climate change. We already see the greenhouse effect at play with hotter summer days and worse air quality, which makes it hard for many in Philly and beyond. South Philly has been forced to shoulder the burden of fossil fuel infrastructure in this city, and we're getting the short end of the stick. We shouldn't have to take on the impacts of another facility. This doesn't mean we can't have jobs. We want well-paying green jobs for Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 all, not jobs that contribute to climate change. A lot of jobs have moved away from the City to the suburbs, and my community has been left behind. PGW needs to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy. This transition of PGW must include a plan to protect current jobs and create new jobs for people in my community who can't find work. An important piece of this conversation is cost of utilities. I know PGW wants to keep it affordable for ratepayers, but natural gas and fossil fuels is not the solution to this.
We want to thank you for your comprehensive assessment of the issue. Your two minutes are up. We need to move on.
Also commenting on 181063-A, in this order, please approach the podium: Marta Guttenberg, Lisa Hastings, Nate Holt, Danny Bauder, Craig White, Ryan Boyer, and Greg Holston. Marta Guttenberg will be first. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon. Like the people with me and standing behind me, I'm here to ask City Council to do its job and protect the people who live and breathe in Philadelphia. (Applause.)
Some of you may have heard the news today from Washington that the first responders to 9/11, who had to live and breathe the destruction of the Twin Towers, are over these decades getting sick and not being cared for. I want to suggest to you that the experience that we have living and Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 breathing here in Philadelphia as more and more things are burned that shouldn't be burned is a kind of 9/11 first responder experience in slow motion. Washington stepped up and said, yup, we'll find some money to take care of you guys. I'm hoping that City Council will step up and say, right, first we're going to not harm you further, and we're going to oppose the LNG plant, and we're going to fund your care. Thank you. (Applause.)
Good afternoon. I'm Lisa Hastings. I oppose the LNG deal because the very valid environmental concerns and for some other reasons. As was the case when I opposed selling PGW a few years ago, I want the City to retain full control over the direction of PGW and our Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 city's future. This includes retaining the ability to make improvements without being hampered by inflexible long-term agreements with private parties. My belief then and now is that public elected officials like you would be much more likely to make decisions for PGW and the rest of us based on the entire public interest rather than on short-term profits. You have the chance to make such a decision now by voting this project down. The LNG bill would commit the City to increase the commercial fossil fuel footprint in Philadelphia for 25 years, even if much better, much cleaner, and more lucrative alternatives become possible. The City -- there's no escape clause in this deal, so the City is stuck with it for 25 years. With the ever-increasing rate of technological innovation and the urgency of climate change, 25 years is a very long time. If you approve this Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 project, you will also be inhibiting PGW and the City's ability to adopt new energy sources when they come available. Thank you. (Applause.)
I want to talk about this liquefied natural gas plant. If you approve this project and you vote for this bill, that is a direct attack on this city's desire for a green new deal. (Applause.)
City Councilmembers talk a lot about addressing poverty and creating jobs, and nothing does that better than a green new deal. (Applause.)
If you're not for a green new deal, stop talking about how you want to create jobs. Stop. No matter what the carbon footprint of the LNG plant is itself, the extraction of the gas that it processes Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 and the burning of it after it is sold off will produce millions of tons of greenhouse gases that will pollute our environment. It was rainy a bit this morning and it will be rainy later tonight, and there's four days of rain in next week's forecast. 2018 was the second rainiest year in Philadelphia's history. Three of the four rainiest years in Philadelphia history have been in the last eight years. If you don't believe climate change is real, then your eyes are not open. (Applause.)
When in 25 years or 30 years we look at our children, our grandchildren, we need to ask ourselves whether we did everything we could to help them, as food systems collapse all over the world and as a billion refugees need to be relocated due to the horrors of climate change that scientists tell us will happen. And you can say I hope it Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 won't happen or it's all a bunch of noise, it's all clickbait, but when this many scientists tell you all over the world, it's like worrying about whether the sun is going to set tonight or rise this morning. It's real. It's going to happen. History will reflect your record today. Please vote no. (Applause.)
Good afternoon. I'm Danny Bauder and I am very proud to serve the 150,000 union members in Philadelphia as Campaign Manager of the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO. Council President and members of Council, I'm here in support of Bill No. 181063-A introduced by Councilmember Green. Our city is very, very fortunate to own, to wholly own, an asset like the Philadelphia Gas Works. Not many cities can say that they have an Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 asset like PGW that the City and the citizens own themselves. It's one of the things that makes Philadelphia so unique and so great. Unfortunately, this is an asset that requires a great deal of investment for maintenance and repair. Thankfully, we have an opportunity today to make an investment in maintenance, to make an investment in infrastructure, to make an investment in those repairs by supporting 181063-A. This project to export liquid natural gas is a win-win for our city. We're able to export a much-needed product and in return raise revenue for infrastructure repair and for the maintenance of PGW, our asset. The addition of a solar array at the Passyunk project site makes this the perfect public-private partnership that will be entirely carbon neutral. I want to thank all of the members of Council who have supported Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 this project from the jump. To those members of the Gas Commission who already voted in favor of it and to those voting today for the first time, I implore you to support this bill, support an investment in infrastructure, and support good union jobs. Thank you. (Applause.)
Good morning. My name is Craig White. I'm President and CEO of the Philadelphia Gas Works, and I want to thank Council President and members of Council for giving me this opportunity today to discuss our project. Certainly we heard you loud and clear five years ago when the company was not sold and the decision was made to retain Philadelphia Gas Works, and the message that we received was that we had to do more with that asset. We had to create revenue streams that could support Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 our growing low-income population. As you all know, we're the largest city, we're the only city with a population over a million that has as many poor families as we do. And this LNG project is a tremendous project in that it is a public-private partnership. It has, as the last gentleman said, it has very few carbon emissions. To equate that to something that's more understandable, it's equivalent to about seven homes in the City of Philadelphia. So you build seven new homes, you have the equivalent amount of emissions as this LNG facility. And we are budgeted -- we have budgeted and we filed with the Philadelphia Gas Commission for a solar array that would make carbon emissions at that facility a net zero. In addition to that, we're not talking about work that Philadelphia Gas Works has not done. We've been doing this for over 50 years. Matter of fact, the gentlemen sitting over here to my Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 right, many of them have over 30 years, 35 years at our LNG plants, working this facility, and providing this asset to not only citizens of Philadelphia but citizens around the region. So anyway, the red light has come on. I want to thank you very much for your positive vote. Thank you. (Applause.)
My name is Reverend Gregory Holston. I'm the Executive Director of POWER. POWER is 83 congregations across the City of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. POWER has stand and has stood Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 with workers around this city over the last ten years. We have gotten arrested. We have marched in snow, sleet, and rain to make sure that workers had rights, to support the rights of workers and support them to have more and more jobs in the City. So when POWER stands up and says to all of you here, this is about the health of our city and not about jobs, we have a jobs record to stand on. (Applause.)
As a pastor in the City, I've been in South Philadelphia. I started my career there. I grew up in South Philadelphia. For years they told us that plant in South Philadelphia, that refinery, was only emitting steam. For years they told us there was no carbon emissions. For years they told us our health was not in danger. Yet over and over, cancer after cancer after cancer can be found in that same community. How long are you going Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 to rely on the natural gas people to tell you that it is carbon neutral when they've had a history of not sharing that or not really doing that? It's been exactly the opposite in this city. How many children -- we've talked about it already. How many children, how many families, how many children are going to have asthma? How many children are going to have disease? How many children, how many people are going to suffer weird cancers and have to be buried again by the pastor in the community, wondering what's happening to their people? I'm here to tell you to vote no. Vote no because you don't know. (Applause.)
Vote no because you don't really know what the truth is. Vote no for a safer Philadelphia. Vote no for the 21st century that we really want for this city. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019
Good afternoon. LNG, new contracts with gas. Have you heard the stories? I think it's clear you haven't. The stories of those living near LNG, the people being affected, the kids. If you did, the bill, would it ever have been dropped? Think about the kids when you vote. Not only in this decision that shouldn't have come to this point but to any legislation. Think about the most vulnerable. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Gas plants, lead buildings, burning trash, underfunded libraries and schools, where does your moral compass lie? I hope the deal hasn't already been made. No LNG, no lead buildings, no burning trash, fully fund the libraries, 15 million. Thank you. (Applause.)
Thank you. My name is George Gould. I'm an attorney at Community Legal Services. I'm here to discuss Bill No. 180936. It's an extremely important bill, which would amend the lead-safe ordinance in Philadelphia. We had been told this bill got out of committee, and we have been told that this bill was going to come up for a vote today for final passage. We were Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 very excited about it, but instead we have been told by the Councilwoman Reynolds Brown's office there are a variety of reasons why this is indefinitely delayed. The first, we're told we want to reach a middle ground. Lead poisoning, you cannot reach a middle ground. Twenty-two hundred kids every year in this city get lead poisoned. The problem with the existing bill, it's not effective. The bill that is up for final vote in City Council is effective and it needs to get passed. We're also told there needs to be more discussions. There have been 18 months of discussions. We have talked endlessly about this bill and the need for it. Today we get a memo saying that there needs to be some type of meeting in July about enforcement of the new provisions. Well, when this bill got passed, I personally talked to the Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Commissioner Perri of L&I and Commissioner Farley of the Health Department, and they both agreed to a procedure that would clearly enforce this bill. Interesting, over a million dollars has been allocated to landlords that will abate lead-based paint, but nothing is happening to help the actual tenants. Finally, I'd like to thank Helen Gym for getting passed in the budget 1.5 million in the legal defense fund. Thank you. (Applause.)
The remaining five speakers on the public comment list, in this order, please approach the podium: Ogbonna Hagins. (No response.)
Ruth Vincent, Meenal Raval, Tiffany Green, and Joe Danihel. Ogbonna Hagins will be first. (No response.)
Good afternoon, all. My name is Pastor Ruth Vincent-Washington. I stand before you representing the First Haitian Church of God and our Haitian community. This vote passing is important because we've been in existence now for 40 years and have been a strong support to our fellow Haitian community as well as the community itself. We've been able to support our community emotionally, spiritually, financially, and socially. We've created a sense of self and self-validation in a world that is so judgmental for our people. If I can quote a verse, I would Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 like to say what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. The old has gone. The new has come. Knowing our position in Christ solves all identity issues. This creature remains evident for us, because First Haitian assists our people in filling a sense of belong, a sense of self, giving them the self-confidence that they need to understand that they can do all things and anything is possible in a society where we are looked upon in such a negative lens. They're empowered by knowing that all things are possible as long as they believe. Within our congregation and our community, we have such greatness that comes from it. For example, we have pastors, doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, entrepreneurs from a Haitian community, if I can name a few. Our church has not only been able to service our Haitian people, but we are now and Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 have become a liaison for the community to help all different ethnicities. Please consider this and keep us in mind as you make your decision today knowing that we as Haitian people, we contribute to the brotherly love that this city exemplifies and talks about. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you for your testimony. (Applause.)
Good afternoon. I am Meenal Raval and I'm giving up my right to speak for a moment to Sabirah Mahmud, a 16-year-old. (Witness approached podium.)
Hello. My name is Sabirah Mahmud and I'm speaking on the Bill 181063-A. I'm a 16-year-old student, activist, and community member here in Philadelphia; more specifically, in University City. Today my friend, Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Enya, and I represent the U.S. Youth Climate Strike and the youth of this country and this city. As we gather here today to vote on these bills and discover whether or not we should vote yes to the LNG plant, the communities I represent strongly oppose to this. This is because of the fact we are in a state of a climate emergency and this bill introduced by Councilmember Green takes us into the wrong direction. The reason I say this is because us, the youth of this country, are going to experience terrible consequences of this plant. I want to tell you all a story. I have a classmate of mine who runs. As my school is in South Philly, where this plant is to be put, he runs around the area along with his Students Run Philly Style group. However, as he suffers from asthma, he almost lost his life from running in this area where we lack the air quality we strongly deserve and need. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 The fact this plant is even in discussion puts us, the youth, in risk of life-threatening situations, as my classmate was in. If you are in this room, think of your children, your nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. This LNG plant will affect them as well. I have a six-year-old sister and I would not want her to be affected in this way. If you are in favor for the future of the City and this country, please vote no. And to those who have committed to voting no, I thank you for voting in favor of our children. Our students and children do not deserve to have this plant. They do not deserve the air quality to be at risk. They deserve a clean future. Thank you. (Applause.)
I just want to Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 speak on two other bills. (Witness approached podium.)
I'm going to make this quick. Tiffany Green. I'm speaking on Bill 190449, I believe it is, regarding the balconies. We asked for -- this bill was inside our housing conformity bill to stop the three-story houses in our community, and because a developer said that if they ban the three-story bill, three-story mansions that's being built in our community, then construction would shut down. How dare you pull our bill, Councilman Johnson, off the list because a certain developer made this warning? At this point that -- I want to talk about the treatment of black community. This is plantation politics. I don't have time for plantation politics no more. The thing about this at this point -- and then when it comes to new development, you're putting the black community on the back. It's okay for a Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 developer -- I mean, for a shopping center to take millions of dollars from the black community and continue support, but when it comes down to meetings regarding discussing the details of the zoning, we're left out on the plantation. You don't feel that we're worthy enough, intelligent enough to deal with this. This is not right. You're not going to continue treating the black community like this. We want our bill. Now that you pull our bill off the list, we have to go through the rest of the year or the rest of the summer like lambs being slaughtered while they go to our blocks and build these five-story mansions. How could you sit there, City Council, and allow them to do this? Councilwoman Blondell, Councilwoman Bass, all of you talk about you are champions for children, but nobody asked what happened to the community. We talk about jobs and about new development. Do you ask how many Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 low-income families will be displaced? Did you ask how many seniors will be harassed to be moved out of a senior citizen complex? Did you ask how many people will become homeless because of this development you want to put in the middle of our shopping center? You have not asked those questions, but yet you sat here and voted for a bill and passed it through for a luxury complex. You know that's a luxury complex being put in our shopping center. And the reality is, we deserve our five-story -- stop them five-story mansions. Since June 2012, we have asked for that bill, and we have not gotten it. It is now June 2019 and we're still being bombarded with these three-story mansions. This is plantation politics. (Microphone turned off.)
Ms. Green, thank you. Thank you for your testimony. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 (Applause.)
Thank you. (Ms. Green talking without microphone on.)
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, Governor, and others transfer private property to the government, probably illegally. Consent of the Governor is required to be proved before you act. Did the Governor ask you to deny or restrict public comment at City Council meetings? Did the Governor approve theft of my home, theft of my just compensation? Did the Governor approve Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 your unanimous votes to spend upwards of 120 million federal HUD money to build a mall on top of my stolen home? If you do not want to perform your known duty or task, why do you run for reelection? Failure to perform your known duty or task is known by military people as treason. Why hasn't the Attorney General investigated and prosecuted my numerous complaints? 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, Sections 1 through 28; 26 PA CSA 703, 705, 708, 709, 711, 712, 713, 716, 902, and other laws listed in SCOTUS 15-8965, 14-1330, 14-4056 appear violated. I call on the federal and Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 Commonwealth governments to perform their constitutional obligation 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 25 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.
I remind Council, it takes a lot of cooperation to create and allow your weekly violation of all the documents we hold sacred and this Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 monumental corruption.
There are no other speakers on the public comment list, Mr. President.
Thank you very much. We will now consider the bills and resolutions -
We will now consider today's Bill Consent Agenda. (Audience members yelling out.) (Pause.) (Witness approached podium.)
I'm Matt Walker. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 I'm the Advocacy Director with Clean Air Council. Clean Air Council has testified a number of times before various committees of Philadelphia City Council raising a number of issues with Liberty Energy Trust's proposed LNG plant. Those issues have still not been addressed and, therefore, the Council must again urge members of City Council to complete their due diligence before voting on the PGW LNG plant. City Council should determine how this LNG plant will advance the City's climate goals, of reducing greenhouse gases by 80 percent by 2050. In addition, before voting on this LNG plant, City Council must evaluate whether it will conform to the long-term sustainability plan for PGW. It is clear that neither Councilmembers nor the public have all the information necessary to make a well-informed decision. So this vote should not occur until after City Council Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 has complete answers to the following: One, an accounting of the diesel exhaust reductions claimed by the LNG plant, including the locations of sites that currently use diesel fuel that would switch to the natural gas. Two, analysis of the climate change impacts from leaks of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from additional equipment and additional throughput at the plant. Three, an analysis of non-fossil fuel alternatives to achieve similar economic and jobs goals. Four, benefits to low-income ratepayers. Five, benefits to the environmental justice community being asked to host this facility. Six, analysis of upstream and downstream greenhouse gas emissions. It is disingenuous for PGW to claim that this facility will have net zero emissions when it has not received Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 funding for the solar array to power the operations. It's also disingenuous that PGW would claim that the equipment would not emit methane emissions. No plant like this would plan to emit methane on purpose, but it would leak methane. Even with leak protection monitors in place, it would still leak or boil off -
-- vaporizer, trucking loading equipment, or other connections of the site.
That seemed like it was faster than two minutes to me. And there hasn't been any attempt to estimate the methane leaks or address them.
I just want to say one last thing. It would be irresponsible for City Council to vote on Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 this today -(Microphone turned off.)
Thank you. (Applause.) (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning. Good afternoon now. I'm Judith Robinson. I'm here to speak on Bill No. 180729. It is an environmental justice issue as we relate to short dumping and debris and dumping in our community. Please move forward quickly with all of the zero waste recommendations, such as higher fines, et cetera. But I want you to be clear, evictions -- 70 percent of the yearly evictions, or about over 20,000, are black women being evicted out of Philadelphia as we gentrify. So I want to make sure some of that $800,000 that you increase for the homeless bill goes directly towards black women who are Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 being evicted out of the City with their children, by the way. In addition, you have a violence reduction committee. I want to make sure that we're dealing with this violence reduction. As we gentrify this community increasing housing costs tremendously, that we check. 350 black young men are killed each year with illegal guns. Just recently after a long time of having short -- I'm sorry; lost and stolen guns documentation law on the books, you just recently decide to start to enforce it. Why don't you move forward in that regard quickly as possible. Every area of our land in Philadelphia is being monetized, our Fairmount Park. Whoever is the head of that committee, check. It's being monetized. I enjoy our city. I'm a native of this city. I enjoy all the good things, but I cannot discount all of the Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 affecting my community up in North Philly in the Fifth District, which the Council President represents. We're catching hell. We're catching hell up in North Philadelphia with all the increase in taxes, increase in value of properties. Thank you very much. I appreciate you allowing me to speak, but freedom of speech is a right. It's not something you can take away. Thank you very much.
Okay. Thank you all. We will now consider today's Bill Consent Agenda. Mr. Decker, I'm going to ask you to read the titles of all the bills on the Consent Agenda.

Upon such an Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 debate -Councilman Johnson, did you want to speak prior to us taking a vote?
You're good? Okay. Any member may object to the inclusion of the bill on the Consent Agenda. Upon such an objection and without debate, the bill will immediately be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed on our regular Final Passage Calendar.

A resolution proposing an amendment to the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter to revise City procurement procedures.
Thank you. The Chair recognizes Councilman Green. And I would like to remind you, because this is a Home Rule Charter amendment, we will need a minimum of 12 votes.
Thank you, Council President. This resolution, along with Bill No. 190290, are up for a vote today. This legislation is work Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING that we've been doing with the Kenney Administration, in particular Christine Derenick-Lopez and Iola Harper from the Office of Economic Opportunity. The goal of this legislation is to change the threshold for RFPs. For many small businesses to do the work to complete an RFP at the $34,000 level is very burdensome and challenging. In looking at cities all across the country, they have a much higher threshold. In addition, we were able to look at ways that we can amend our procurement rules to make it easier for a preference for local-based businesses. Based on these initiatives, we believe it's going to make it easier for small businesses to do business with the City of Philadelphia. This body previously approved the Best Value legislation, which was another piece of legislation to make it easier for small businesses to do business with the City of Philadelphia. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING This legislation is another step in that lane. I urge my colleagues to support not only this Resolution No. 190299 as well as the companion bill, Bill No. 190290. Thank you, Council President.
Thank you, Councilman. Did you make your motion?
I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)
Thank you. It's been moved and seconded that the resolution be adopted. Because, again, Resolution No. 190299 is an amendment to the Home Rule Charter, it requires two-thirds vote. Therefore, the question is shall the resolution be adopted. Mr. Decker, call the roll.
Councilwoman Bass. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING
Councilman Oh. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING
Aye. Two-thirds of all members of Council having voted in the affirmative, the Resolution No. 190299 has been adopted. Mr. Decker, please read the Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING title of 181063-A.
An ordinance authorizing the Philadelphia Gas Works by Philadelphia Facilities Management Corporation, Philadelphia Municipal Authority, and the Commissioner of Public Property to enter into transactions and contracts regarding a liquefied natural gas project on property and facilities owned by the City of Philadelphia and operated by the Philadelphia Gas Works.
Thank you, Council President. Today I ask my colleagues to support this bill. I want to say a few words about where we are, where do we need to go, how we got there, and how this project fits. The early effects of climate change are already with us, and countries, especially the United States, have already polluted enough to lock in further negative change. We know that to Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING prevent cataclysmic changes, we must move swiftly away from reliance on extracted fossil fuel. We also know that an equitable plan to do that must balance the needs of low-income ratepayers, workers, our public-owned utility, and all our current residents and future citizens. In the absence of leadership from the federal government, state General Assembly, that responsibility falls entirely, at least for now, to the City of Philadelphia. With its limitless human potential but obvious economic needs and definitely limited financial resources, we must take action. This body has already taken action. Last year, through the leadership of Councilmember Blondell Reynolds Brown, this body worked with the Philadelphia Energy Authority to do a solar initiative with Community Solar that will provide 20 percent of our municipal energy spend in Adams County Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING through Adams Solar, which will be the largest solar array in Pennsylvania. Just this Monday in the Finance Committee, we voted out the CPACE, or the commercial property assessment plan energy program, or CPACE, which provides incentives for commercial and industrial buildings to invest solar on their buildings. For the most part, and I think most people do know this, but for those who do not, the majority of our climate change comes from commercial, residential, industrial buildings. So the energy that we use to operate City Hall, to operate our homes come from carbon dioxide emissions, and the legislation that we voted out of the Finance Committee on Monday that had first reading today and hopefully final passage next week shows our work towards addressing that large aspect of climate change. But we know that Philadelphia Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING must change. We have yet to develop our plan. In April, the Transportation and Public Utilities Committee heard initial testimony from several experts about how to shoulder this responsibility. Among the policies proposed were green molecules, district heating, and electrification. But option and ideas are not a blueprint. Fortunately, due to the leadership of the Office of Sustainability under the leadership of Christine Knapp and the work of PGW, the Bloomberg Foundation has awarded the City money and technical assistance to study diversifying the products that PGW offers. Even with the ongoing effort to review how their business model can evolve, there must be a broader conversation about how the City proceeds. I intend to continue to convene all stakeholders in a fair process to build a shared vision and craft an equitable plan Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING for how the City deals with climate change. In the meantime, PGW took as instructions the opportunities laid out in the report that this Council used to determine not to sell PGW. And prior to my becoming a member of this body, working for Councilmember Marian Tasco, spent almost nine months looking at the sale of PGW. Based on a review and analysis, the net result to the City would have been about $200 million. And so we've decided that we did not want to sell PGW, and so we put to PGW, as Craig White said earlier, let's look at other alternatives regarding liquefied natural gas. PGW has been looking at LNG for some time. Going back to March of 2012, they engaged Pace Global to do a market study and also a review of supply chain economics regarding LNG. In 2012, PGW also had a pilot program of sales of LNG.
In June of 2015, they issued a Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING request for information for the idea of doing LNG along with Pace Global. In January 2016, they engaged Public Financial Management to do an independent review of the possibility of liquefied natural gas. In April 2016, PGW issued a request for proposals for LNG sales. In September of 2017, PGW did a memorandum of understanding with proposers that were selected by PGW to develop LNG, and that was with the Liberty Energy Trust in September 2017. In June of 2018, the Philadelphia Facilities Management Corporation Board approved this proposal. In fall of 2018, the Philadelphia Gas Commission, which I chair, completed our review, and we voted upon this on December 4th of 2018. In the winter of 2018, we took additional conversations, and in December 6th of last year, this bill was introduced into City Council. Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING On February 27th of this year, the Transportation and Public Utilities Committee voted out this bill, and on March 28th of this year, we had briefings for members of City Council regarding the liquefied natural gas proposal. The project involves Liberty Energy paying to create a new liquefier to be operated by PGW employees at the existing Passyunk plant. The liquefied natural gas from Liberty would be responsible and has the best business case in offsetting the local consumption of dirtier oil and coal. This carries effectively no risk to the City of Philadelphia. The deal would guarantee one million in non-ratepayer dollars to PGW, which is otherwise severely restricted by the state PUC in how it spends money. We all know that the City has the highest level of poverty for any big city in the nation at 26 percent, and this additional non-ratepayer dollars can Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING help offset possible rate increases that the PGW may need at PUC. In addition, it will give us the resources to start to diversify and do different things with PGW. In addition, invest in some solar projects like the project that this body approved with the Philadelphia Energy Authority last year with Adams Solar and look at other ideas regarding renewables. In addition, on the desk of each member of Council, we looked at what would this proposal do compared to other facilities in the City of Philadelphia. We looked at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions' plant, which is the former Sunoco plant. 2 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. This project would do two tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. 2 million. Now, we also pushed upon Liberty Energy Trust to come up with some additional ways to reduce that type of carbon dioxide emissions. They have been Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING talking with the Mayor, and on the Mayor's list for RCAP dollars with Governor Wolf is the dollars to do a solar array. If that solar array is approved -- and we're pushing hard for that array to be approved -- that will cause a net zero emissions at this plant. As Craig White talked about, even without the solar array, this is equivalent to seven new row homes in the City of Philadelphia. And hopefully we'll be able to get the solar array, and we'll continue to push upon the Wolf Administration so that would be approved. It also is worth noting that some of the ideas that were talked about at the April 27th hearing regarding green molecules and other ideas could possibly be processed at this facility. Now, today there was an e-mail that was sent out regarding communication. There was a long list of information that was sent out to members of Council. Councilmembers also received Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING information from PGW. That community outreach included the fact that all near neighbors within a half mile radius were contacted, and numerous groups were also contacted regarding this proposal.
Since the beginning of this conversation, I've encouraged those who are engaged in advocacy to continue their work. And I'll restate that. I've made sure and I continue to say that those that support and oppose this bill, we still need your advocacy. Without the national mobilization and international strategy proportionate to the task at hand, those advancing the position that everything possible must be done to reduce the supply and demand of fossil fuels are the warning signs that we all need to focus on to make a course correction. The merits of this project are where we differ. This project is a nearly net zero emissions project at the existing plant operated by current gas Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 6/13/19 - STATED - 2ND READING workers for a facility that should substitute dirtier fossil fuels and could process possibly non-fracked natural gas and guarantee the City money that it will definitely need to implement the transition from fossil fuels that we all agree must happen. For these reasons, I ask my colleagues to vote and support this bill.
Thank you, Councilman. Mr. Decker, please call the roll. Let me pose the question. Councilman, the riveting speech of yours made me lose my place. This bill has been read on two separate occasions. The question now, shall the bill pass finally. Mr. Decker, call the roll.

There being none -- the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown.
Mr. President, I would ask my colleagues to please pay particular attention to the updated memo regarding lead. And for the record, I'd like to also remind my colleagues that it took eight years, Mr. President, for you and I to act on the bill where we merged Fairmount Park and the Rec Department. It took me 30 months to secure nine votes for the menu labeling bill and -- I had two others down here. Bottom line is, nothing is going to happen until July 1, 2020 once the bill is passed, because the effective date is July 1, 2020. So we're going to Stated Meeting June 13, 2019 as we need for me to meet with every single stakeholder for as many times as I need to before I call this bill up for a final vote. I'm thankful for the votes I have right now, but it matters more to me that all stakeholders are left whole. And so we will act on this bill affirmatively in the fall. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.
