Oh, I'm sorry. Your light wasn't on and I didn't -- the Chair recognizes Councilman Ortiz.
Madam Chair, I was going to submit my amendment on the living wage to 000721 and 000722, but after speaking with Mayor Street and seeing his letter in response to the very good letter that my colleague Darrell Clarke wrote to him on the living wage, I will at this time just SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE CALENDAR like to put into the record some of the comments that the Mayor makes in his letter to Councilman Clarke. And he says, "Please allow me to assure you that I share both your concern and the concerns raised by Councilman Ortiz regarding the value of the permanent service jobs that will be created by these two projects. It is not enough simply to secure new employment opportunities with this project. I strongly believe that it is essentially that the new jobs created provide genuine opportunity for those who fill them. I am committed to working with both teams to ensure that the service jobs that are created have value and meaning so that the individuals who fill these new positions can be proud and can share in the wealth of this exciting project." And then he finishes his letter with saying, "This issue is too important to leave to chance. Therefore, I will work tirelessly to ensure that every avenue is pursued and that our workers receive the best opportunities possible as a result of this development." Madam President, I take him at his word that he is with us in terms of trying and working to SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE CALENDAR secure the service employees, the janitorial staff of employment and wages that go above the minimum wage, that are not exploitation wages and that we will work together to secure in the coming weeks and coming months that the Eagles and Phillies secure a living wage for the workers that are going to be the permanent workers in the stadiums that are going to be built. So in lieu of this and in lieu of Darrell Clark's letter and his commitment to this issue, I will reserve my amendment for later on if they're needed through ordinance.
Thank you Councilman. Councilman Clarke, do you want to be recognized?
Yes. Thank you, Madam President. I, too, agree with Councilman Ortiz' sentiment on this issue as he indicated. I just want to say also subsequent to the response from the Mayor's Office, I've received verbally a commitment by the both teams that they will in fact send a letter to the members of Council supporting this activity as it relates to the lowest paid workers in SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE CALENDAR the particular stadium project. So I want to say thank you Councilman Ortiz.
I do hope that we have the letter next Wednesday when we are to approve this project. Thank you.
