Good morning to everyone. We've established a quorum. Council will now come to order. We're 00:03:54 going to get started. And this morning to give our invocation, the Chair recognizes the Reverend Cathy Mitchell of Triumph Baptist Church. She is here today as the guest of Councilman Thomas. 00:04:06 I would ask all members and guests to please bow your heads for the invocation. Reverend, please proceed.
Good 00:04:12 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 God, our father and creator, Jesus Christ, the son, redeemer, holy ghost, our God and counsel, we give you 00:04:23 praise and thanksgiving for your holy presence and being on one accord at this solemn moment. This prayer is one of faith and it comes to human lips that are sometimes 00:04:31 full of doubt. We are relying on your goodness and believing on your promises. We come on behalf of the Africans of America, the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, the birthplace of 00:04:46 American democracy. We know and acknowledge that the earth is the Lord's, the fullest there of the world and they that dwell therein. So this prayer is one of 00:04:54 intercession for neighborhoods and communities, parks and rivers, colleges and universities, malls and office buildings, businesses and restaurants, banks and libraries, hospitals and 00:05:06 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 schools, churches and mosques and synagogues and temples, stadiums and theatres, museums and the media, SEPTA and Amtrak, the Philadelphia 00:05:17 International Airport, bus lines and taxi cabs, police and firefighters, first responders, the Sanitation Department and the Streets Department. Heavenly Father, this prayer is 00:05:28 for the City Council of Philadelphia. We pause for prayer, not just to do all of the talking but to also listen to each other and to you. At this very moment, 00:05:39 wickedness, evil, and indiscriminate acts of violence are still at work. We ask for your truth and justice to prevail. Use the members of the City Council as instruments of your grace and your glory. 00:05:51 Give them the strength and the stamina to face stress and pressure when it appears. Infuse them with insight and fortitude to expect the unexpected and to develop ethical behavior to demonstrate and 00:06:06 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 lift them up to you as well as their families, their loved ones. Keep their homes safe and secure. We 00:06:14 pray for them to have tough minds and tender hearts, to be as wise as servants and as harmless as doves. Sometimes they have to take the heat when it is not their fault, and attacks will be up close 00:06:28 and personal. We realize that they control and divide resources and face challenges and prioritize positions. Lord God, they represent people, some who trust them and some who do not. 00:06:41 We pray for calmness of spirit, clarity of thought and speech, and we ask for an enduring anointing to be poured out on each and every one of them. If my people who are called by 00:06:54 my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven. We want you to hear from us, 00:07:04 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 want you to bow down your ear. We want you to forgive our sin and heal our land and move by your spirit like you've never moved before. Come by here, 00:07:14 Lord. Bless us in spite of us. We need your peace. We need your power. We need your presence. Somebody's praying, Lord. Come on by here. 00:07:25 In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. (Amen.)
00:07:31 Amen. Thank you so much, Reverend. We really appreciate you being here today. Thank you.

00:19:24 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 Thank you. That will be on today's Final Passage Calendar. Councilman Domb, I'm sorry. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb. 00:19:28
Thank you, Council President. Over the past weekend, Moshava, a food truck serving Israeli food, was actually excluded from a cultural event 00:19:38 called A Taste of Home and Moshava was disinvited from participating in the event due to threats received by the organizers of the event regarding the truck's presence there. 00:19:50 I started receiving phone calls over the weekend, and I was very upset by this, and I was upset for the food truck owner, who I subsequently met with and spoke with. I was upset for all the 00:19:59 participants who were hoping to share a bit of their culture with others. And as a member of the Jewish community, I was again reminded that anti-Semitism persists in this country. 00:20:11 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 I will share a quick story. When I was 12 years old -- this is what came back to me -- living in Fort Lee, New Jersey, we lived in a 63-unit 00:20:20 apartment building. Our apartment was 800 square feet. The rent was $100 a month. My brother was 16, I'm 12, living with my parents, and we had no hot water for two weeks. And my mother called the 00:20:32 landlord in some location I never heard of called Lower Merion actually, and a month later, because my mother complained to the Mayor, we had no hot water. The only three Jewish families in the 00:20:44 building were evicted. And that's something that is like very personal to me, but as my father used to say, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, and fortunately with the help of my 00:20:58 grandparents, they lent them money to buy a house, which turned out pretty well. But I introduced this resolution to have the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations conduct a 00:21:06 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 full review of this specific situation. Their input on this incident and how best to handle others like it in the future I think will be helpful for providing 00:21:15 guidance to us with organizers and vendors. In order to ensure a safe and pleasant environment for all citizens of our community events, we have to develop 00:21:22 recommendations for handling any situations like this exclusion of Moshava for future events. We must not and should not tolerate organizations or individuals who threaten our ability to 00:21:35 celebrate our city's diversity or to maintain our position as an inviting and welcoming place to live, work, and raise a family. So I encourage my colleagues to 00:21:43 support this important action. Thank you for putting it on today's Calendar. Thank you, Council President.
Point of information. 00:21:50 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021
Member Domb, thank you for sharing that life event 00:21:55 that you went through. Nothing will make you sensitive to discrimination like being discriminated against. But I would ask that you also have the individuals file with the Pennsylvania Human 00:22:14 Relations Commission as well to give another set of eyes, extra set of arms and legs to follow through on this. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you. 00:22:30 As was said, that will be on today's Final Passage Calendar.
Councilwoman Gauthier offers two bills and one resolution, entitled "An ordinance 00:22:38 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 amending Title 14 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled 'Zoning and Planning,' by amending certain provisions of Chapter 14-500, entitled 'Overlay Zoning 00:22:44 Districts,' by creating the '/MIH, Mixed Income Neighborhoods Overlay District'; by revising certain provisions of Chapter 14-702, entitled 'Floor, Area, Height, and Dwelling Unit Density Bonuses'; and 00:22:58 making related changes."
