Councilman Rizzo, you introduced a resolution, and I believe we neglected to have a vote on it. Would you make a motion for the adoption, please.
That is Charley Pizzi's resolution. (Duly seconded.)
It has been moved and seconded that the resolution be adopted. All in favor will say aye. (Aye.)
The ayes have it. And the resolution has been adopted. Are there any speeches on the part of the minority? (No response.)
Are there speeches on the part of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Cohen.
Thank you. I just wanted to note something that appears in the Inquirer in the last page of the first section this morning about what seems to be a very notable accomplishment by the Chicago City Council yesterday. It dealt with an issue that I did not know before, before the City Council in Chicago. It dealt with the general questions of reparations which we're hearing more of in many different forms. And apparently, the City of Chicago voted yesterday unanimously that before any company can do any business with the City of Chicago that it must disclose any dealings it had with reference to the slave trade in any fashion. It's by far the most far-reaching action taken by any legislative body that I know of in this the ferment about the general issue of reparations is reaching a new height in Philadelphia. I think all of us ought to study it because it may very well be a model that we're going to want to follow. Thank you very much, Madam president.
You're welcome, Councilman. Are there any other speeches on the part of the majority? (No response.)
Seeing none, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Tasco.
Madam President, I move that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, October 10th at 10:00 a.m. (Duly seconded.)
It has been moved and seconded that the Council stand adjourned until Thursday, October 10, 2002. All in favor say aye. (Aye.)
Those opposed? The ayes have it and Council will stand adjourned 10th. Thank you. (Council adjourned at 10:47 a.m.) C E R T I F I C A T I O N I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing proceedings of the Council of the City of Philadelphia of October 3, 2002, were reported fully and accurately by me, and that this is a correct transcript of the same.
