Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA STATED MEETING Room 400, City Hall Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Thursday, May 12, 2016 11:10 a.m. PRESENT: COUNCIL PRESIDENT DARRELL L. CLARKE COUNCILWOMAN CINDY BASS COUNCILWOMAN JANNIE L. BLACKWELL COUNCILMAN ALLAN DOMB COUNCILMAN DEREK S. GREEN COUNCILMAN WILLIAM K. GREENLEE COUNCILWOMAN HELEN GYM COUNCILMAN BOBBY HENON COUNCILMAN KENYATTA JOHNSON COUNCILMAN CURTIS JONES, JR. COUNCILMAN DAVID OH COUNCILMAN BRIAN J. O'NEILL COUNCILWOMAN CHERELLE L. PARKER COUNCILWOMAN MARIA D. QUINONES-SANCHEZ COUNCILMAN MARK SQUILLA COUNCILMAN AL TAUBENBERGER MICHAEL A. DECKER, CHIEF CLERK Stated Meeting May 12, 2016
Folks, we're going to start now. The men got caught up in the athletic status and we reverted to little boys and we almost forgot that we actually do have a Council session today. Thank you. We have established a quorum. We're going to come to order. The guests and visitors have retired behind the rail. And before we start, I would like to ask everyone to please turn their cell phones off or on airport mode. I know everybody had their phones out taking pictures. If you can just turn them off for the purposes of the Council session. To give our invocation this morning, the Chair recognizes Rabbi Tuvia Goldstein. He is here today as the guest of Councilman O'Neill. I would ask all guests, visitors, and members to please rise. (Councilmembers and guests rise.) Stated Meeting May 12, 2016
This is actually not the first time that I've been invited here to give this prayer. The majority of people who ask me to speak somewhere once don't ask me to speak there again. So in that sense, you're in the minority. When I came to your office this morning, I saw it says Councilman Brian O'Neill, Minority Leader. So I understood now why you asked me to come and speak. Truth be told, I came here this morning primarily to try out for a college basketball team. And if you're looking for a rabbi, I'm your man. I apologize I came a little bit unkempt this morning. The truth is that in the Jewish calendar, there's a time of mourning. The reason that we mourn is not because of the death of a relative, Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 many, many years ago there was a certain disregard from community leaders for people. The way people were treating people was not what is expected from community leaders. So we mourn to reflect on the importance of how we treat each other, especially as community leaders, and if we're here in this room this morning, it's because we represent the community and we represent serving others. It's a selfless service. So it's my most fervent wish and prayer that this idea to serve other people, without regard for one's own honor, or not to let arrogance or jealousy get in the way should be the way that we serve every day, that we should be able to do that and for our community and for our people. Thank you. Have a good day. (Applause.)
Thank you so much, Rabbi. We really appreciate those inspiring words. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 be at ease. (Council at ease.)
Thank you very much, Rabbi, again. The next order of business is the approval of the Journal of the meeting of Thursday, May 5th, 2016, and the Chair recognizes Councilman Greenlee.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move that the Journal of the meeting of Thursday, May 5th, 2016 be approved. (Duly seconded.)

Thank you, Mr. President. On behalf of the majority, a leave of absence is requested for Councilmember Reynolds Brown.
The Chair thanks the gentleman and leave shall be granted. The Chair now recognizes Councilman O'Neill.
Thank you, Mr. President. On behalf of the republicans, there are no requests for leave of absence.
The Chair thanks the gentleman. At this time, I would like to dispense with the regular order of business and I would like to thank everyone who has come down to Council Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 government in action. It's been somewhat of an exciting morning. So I hope you continue to enjoy the day, so much so that you come back again. Again, thank you all very much. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Jones, who will present a resolution honoring Villanova University Men's Basketball Team. Would Daniel Ochefu and those accompanying him please join the Councilman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)
And joining Councilman Jones, we have Councilwoman Bass, Councilman Henon, Councilman Domb, Councilman Taubenberger.
So this morning President Clarke was challenging them, talking about he still got it and he can cross them over. I had to restrain him from himself. So not a call from President Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Obama, not a ticker tape parade in Center City, not the ringing of the bell at the opening of the New York Stock Exchange, nor throwing the first pitch out at the Phillies baseball game, I was told, was a greater honor than they were going to get today from City Council. These are wonderful honors, and it makes our city proud to have our close neighbors in Villanova be a part of the Greater Philadelphia region's success. Although my district ends at City Avenue, Councilman Domb and I flipped a coin, and he allowed me to do the honors of presenting this today. So I appreciate that. We are extremely proud to say that you are so Philly. Whether it's a cheese steak or whether it's bringing revenues from hotel stays, you have made us proud both on the basketball court and beyond. We look even more to the future and know that this is not the last time to the Big Dance. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 honoring and congratulating Jay Wright and the Villanova University Men's Basketball Team on winning the 2016 NCAA Men's National Basketball Championship. Applause here. (Applause.)

Whereas, Villanova University men's basketball has competed since the 1920-1921 season; and Whereas, the Villanova Wildcats have appeared in the NCAA Tournament 36 times -- by the way, I always had them out of the first round -- the 8th highest total in NCAA history; and Stated Meeting May 12, 2016
Whereas, this year, the Villanova Wildcats had a highly successful regular season, finishing with a record of 29 wins and 5 losses, earning them their first ranking in school history and ultimately landing them the No. 2 seed in the NCAA March Madness Tournament; and Whereas, Villanova soared through the tournament by handily defeating the University of North Carolina-Asheville, University of Iowa, University of Miami, University of Kansas and in the National Semi-Finals, Villanova defeated the University of Oklahoma by 44 points, big win, the largest margin of victory ever in an NCAA Final Four game; and
Whereas, Villanova's victory over Oklahoma landed them in the NCAA Championship game for the first time in 31 years, where they faced the No. 1 seeded UNC; and Whereas, Villanova defeated UNC Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 shot at the buzzer by Kris Jenkins to win the NCAA Championship with a final score of 77 to 74, clinching their second NCAA Championship in 31 years; and
Whereas, Villanova University's only prior national championship win occurred in 1985, under head coach Rollie Massimino and led by star players Ed Pinckney and Harold Pressley, in which they defeated heavily favored Georgetown University led by Patrick Ewing, in what is considered one of the greatest upsets in NCAA basketball history; and Whereas, Coach Jay Wright was named the 2016 Naismith Coach of the Year and senior Ryan Arcidiacono was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Council of the City of Philadelphia hereby honors and congratulates Jay Wright and the Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Team on winning the 2016 NCAA Men's National Basketball Championship on a last minute, buzzer beater -- we can say that a million times -- and a three-pointer to defeat University of North Carolina 77 to 74. And note I have on the right tie with the right colors. Signed by all members of Council. Congratulations. (Applause.)

Your support is amazing and we really appreciate it a lot.

And we're just extremely proud to represent Philadelphia. I want to thank you again for this great honor, and thank you one more time for the parade. I was unfortunately at no other Philadelphia parade, but I have to say that was probably the best one I've been at. So hopefully next year there will be an even better one. Thank you. (Applause.)
The Chair now recognizes Coach Wright. COACH WRIGHT: We're most proud of our players, and I think Daniel said it very well, how much we take pride in Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Philadelphia and really how honored and humbled we were that the City of Philadelphia embraced us and provided the parade that you all did. To put that together that quickly and for it to run so efficiently, to see the Mayor and all the members of City Council there, the Philadelphia Police were amazing. We were very impressed and very honored. And I know how important education is to the City of Philadelphia. I follow all the work you all do. What we're most proud of is, every player that has played for us that's been there for four years has graduated on time. We have a 100 percent graduation rate. (Applause.)

It's such a pleasure and an honor to be here today and to recognize Opera Philadelphia.

They are one of five teams Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 world, not just the country, throughout the world, and we're so honored to recognize them and to spread the word about the fantastic work that they do. I think that we all sing opera, but we probably sing it at home, in the shower, where nobody is looking, nobody can hear us, but we have -- Mark, you sound -- Mark is going to sing for us. No. But we all sing opera in private, but for those who have the courage and actually the real talent honed over many, many years to be able to do this in public, it is truly an amazing thing. We want to recognize Opera Philadelphia. The performance has collectively spent decades in training and preparing to be the very best. And on a day when we recognize Villanova for their championship, their national championship, and we recognize Masterman Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 and statewide wins and on their way to the world finals, and now we're sending Opera Philadelphia off to the world finals of opera, and so we're very, very excited, because Philly loves a winner, don't we?

Whereas, Opera Philadelphia is the only American company to be nominated in the Best Opera Company category by the International Opera Awards, an event championing the finest operatic talent around the world and considered the "Oscars" of the opera world; and Whereas, International Opera Awards will announce the winners in twenty categories at a ceremony in London on May 15th; and
And whereas, in collaboration with the School Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Philadelphia, Opera Philadelphia's Sounds of Learning Program addresses the growing gap in arts education and access in the Greater Philadelphia region. The program has reached nearly 150,000 students in ten counties through an intensive, in-school, literacy-based music education program that includes opportunities to see live opera performances; and
Whereas, Opera Philadelphia continues to set new expectations for opera for how the arts can be an economic driver, elevate the City's global profile, invigorate the community through creative place making and educational initiatives, and attract artistry, attendance and philanthropy from outside of Philadelphia; and
Whereas, in September 2017 Philadelphia Opera will launch an annual, 12-day multistage opera festival that will offer more than 30 total performances across seven different Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Opera estimates that more than 25,000 tickets will be issued and that over 20 percent of festival single ticket buyers will be from outside of the Greater Philadelphia region. These cultural tourists will bring an economic injection into the City during the festival footprint through lodging, hospitality, transportation, and other cultural attractions. Additionally, the festival will provide employment opportunities to artistic, production, and support personnel, with an estimated 500 full-time and seasonal jobs; and
Whereas, the festival will include the world premiere of We Shall Not Be Moved, a fusion of hip hop and opera inspired by writings of Philadelphia high school students. This production originated from Hip H'Opera, Opera Philadelphia's collaboration with Art Sanctuary to engage Philadelphia high school students Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 creation, production, and performance of a full hip-hop opera inspired by their stories; now, therefore, be it
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia, that it hereby recognizes and honors Opera Philadelphia on their prestigious nomination as the Best Opera Company at the 2016 International Opera Awards. Further resolved, that an engrossed copy of this resolution be presented to Opera Philadelphia as evidence of the sincere appreciation, respect and admiration of this legislative body. Congratulations. (Applause.)
And the Chair recognizes Mr. Devan for remarks.
Thank you very much. On behalf of our Board, staff, and Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 artists, I'd like to extend sincere thanks. This opera company loves Philadelphia.

Thank you. (Applause.)

Good morning, Council President. I have one bill and one non-privileged resolution.
And I'd like to be heard on the bill at the time of introduction.
Thank you, Councilwoman. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016
An ordinance amending Subcode "PM" of The Philadelphia Code ("The Philadelphia Property Maintenance Code"), by adding certain provisions related to drinking facilities in schools.
Thank you, Council President. Over the course of a number of different hearings, we've been hearing from young people talk significantly about what it means to lack water access in schools. Recently the School District, in response to a request from City Council and student demands for a fountain inventory, released data this week that showed that 15 percent of its water fountains are non-operational and in many cases found that water fountains are not equitably distributed across the district, including some pretty shocking shortages of operational water fountains, Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 including schools such as Franklin Learning Center, Dobson Elementary, and Moore Elementary, schools which just have one functioning water fountain in each school serving over 2,400 students. Many of these students have complained repeatedly about lacking water access, that they frequently feel dehydrated, that they have to pay $1.50 for water from vending machines, and that this has become a very serious issue for many of them. They feel that it speaks very directly to this issue of human rights. This bill, which is co-sponsored by Councilmembers Blackwell, Henon, Quinones-Sanchez, Bass, and Councilman Domb, will help address and mandate and keep the School District of Philadelphia, including older buildings, to the standard Plumbing Code of the City that mandates one working operational water fountain per 100 students and one working water fountain per floor. It's our belief that access to Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 drinking water for all children is a human right, and this will ensure that the District honors and fulfills that moral responsibility. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Councilwoman. That bill will be referred to the appropriate committee.
And a non-privileged resolution calling upon the School Reform Commission, Superintendent William Hite, and the School District of Philadelphia to address widespread overcrowding in Philadelphia schools by enacting a lower class size in grades kindergarten through third grade, and ending the practice of split-grade classrooms unless specifically designed for pedagogical purposes.
And that resolution will be on next week's Final Passage Calendar. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 The Chair recognizes Councilman Taubenberger.
Good morning, Council President and colleagues. I have no bills or resolutions today.

Joe Danihel, commenting on 160256, 160418, 160421, 160430, 160420, and 160423. (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and laws of God Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 entitle them to, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. The history of the present King of Britain is the history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having a direct object with the establishment of an absolute tyranny over this state. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people; for quartering the large bodies of armed truths among; for protecting them by mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of this state. Black lives matter. For imposing taxes on us without consent. There are several indications of that. For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of the trial by jury, Trial No. 14-6880. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is marked by every act that may define the tyrant, is unfit to be a ruler of these free people. These are excerpts of the Declaration of Independence. Truer words have never been spoken in this Cradle of Liberty. Council should take heart these words and act accordingly. If Council's behavior sounds familiar to this document, then act morally. Many have testified recently the perceived injustice by agents and agencies of this government. You as the government body consent of the government have the fiduciary duty to act on our behalf. Paul Robeson has quoted, The answer to injustice is not to silence the critic, but end the injustice. De-fund RDA and PHA now. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Investigate why no charges have been filed by the DA and the Attorney General. This is an official petition of the people. And I leave you with a question. Has government for the people perished in Philadelphia, of all places? (Applause.)
Jennifer Baker, commenting on 160228-A. (Witness approached podium.)
I am a longtime resident of North 3rd Street in Northern Liberties where I've lived through the decline of the neighborhood in the '70s, '80s, and '90s and the current rebirth and development wave. Given my long experience in Northern Liberties in both good times and bad, I can say that I'm very concerned about the rezoning of this property in question in this bill. It's a property that encompasses only one building, which is the former Finnigan's Wake, which was a bar in the Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 neighborhood. It's at 3rd and Green Streets. The immediate neighbors to this project, those who live on Green Street, Bodine Street, and North 3rd Street, are all concerned about the impact of the added height on the small street at the rear of this property. The neighbors certainly support the redevelopment of this site, and we feel that the proposed office use is a good one, but we believe that this should be facilitated via a zoning variance rather than rezoning the property. With such a variance, we, the immediate neighbors most directly affected by the project, would be able to negotiate with the developer over massing of added height. This is critically important because several nearby residents, many of the nearby residents, are working artists, those who moved into Northern Liberties long ago and settled in the neighborhood. Light is important to us Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 and has a great impact on our work. While additional height for a building at the Finnigan's location will affect our working life as well as the surrounding environment as a whole, through judicious design this impact can be minimized as much as possible. For instance, we would hope to have the massing of stair towers and pilot houses arranged in such a way so as to have the least impact on the neighbors' existing properties and on the artist studios on Green Street behind the property. A variance would give us the ability to discuss these matters seriously with the developers of the project or the developers of any future project that might be proposed for this site. Inability to negotiate could have serious consequences for the production of art and the quality of life in the neighborhood, which is already subject to serious overdevelopment. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 I urge you to vote against the rezoning of this property so that the neighbors' concerns about their work and livelihood can be taken into account with the development project at this site. Thank you. (Applause.)
Addressing Council as a group, Kerry Smith, John Dodds, Alicia Blessington, Soneyet Muhammad, Joanne Sopt, Reverend Gregory Holston, and Mark Horrell, commenting on Councilwoman Parker's payday resolution introduced today on today's Final Passage Calendar. (Witnesses approached podium.)
Good morning. I'm Kerry Smith. I'm an attorney with Community Legal Services. CLS, on behalf of its low-income clients, is here today in support of the resolution urging the General Assembly to oppose legislation that would legalize high-cost, long-term payday loans. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Payday loans are an abusive predatory form of lending. They carry very high interest rates, 200 to 300 percent annually, combined with really extraordinary leverage, as the lender has access to the borrower's bank account to get paid first on payday. In states where they're legal, they cause great harm to borrowers. And we're fortunate that here in Pennsylvania we have one of the strongest laws in the country to guard against predatory lending, but it's under attack as the out-of-state payday lenders are working to gut our protection. We thank Councilwoman Parker for her leadership on this issue. When there was a big fight in 2012 to bring these kind of payday loans into Pennsylvania, she helped lead the effort to oppose it, standing with a diverse coalition of over 100 groups from across the state. Some of our coalition members are here today. In lieu of us all taking Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 three minutes in support, we'll all just speak one minute briefly about why this resolution is so important.
I'm John Dodds, Director of the Philadelphia Unemployment Project. I'm sure, as we all know, Philadelphia has the highest poverty rate of any of the ten largest cities. There's many ways to fight poverty in this city, but opening the doors to a predatory loan product that loans money to people at 200 and 300 percent interest is surely not one. This is an industry that tries to make money off of desperate people. We need to keep them at bay and we need to continue the ban on payday lending in the State of Pennsylvania so they don't come into our city and make money from people that cannot afford it. Thank you.
Good afternoon. My name is Mark Horrell. I'm the Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Community Organizer for Southwest Community Development Corporation. Our boundaries cover the area between University City and the airport, where more than 73,000 Philadelphians reside. The work of Southwest CDC is extensive and we take our work seriously. We provide many types of services. We are a Neighborhood Advisory Committee, a NAC, a neighborhood energy center. We provide housing counseling, utility assistance to neighborhoods, business support, and after-school programs, and publish the Southwest Globe Times newspaper. These are just a few of the many types of program we implement and it's because our residents carry some of the heaviest economic and social burdens in Philadelphia. Nearly 30 percent of Southwest Philadelphia citizens live below the poverty line. Southwest has the highest four-year violent crime rate in the City as a whole. Gutting our state's strong cap Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 on interest and fees to legalize high-cost, long-term installment loans will drop predatory storefronts right into our neighborhoods, seeking to hoodwink the very neighbors we serve. These businesses will not only lock our residents into a debt trap, they would also drain the money from our community and force Southwest CDC to divert resources away from neighborhood progress in order to assist our clients in climbing out of the trap of debt. This will result in disastrous consequences for our community, our programs, and the clients we serve. The payday lending industry is the last thing we need to see in our neighborhoods.
Good morning -- or I should say good afternoon. I'm Alicia Blessington, retired military officer, representing the MOA, Military Officers Association of America, Philadelphia Chapter. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Military veterans understand all too harshly the harm of payday loans. The Department of Defense did an intensive study on it and concluded that the results of these loans was impeding military readiness. A federal law was passed, the Military Lending Act, which limits the percent of interest and fees to 36 percent. These fees and interest -- this law only covers active-duty military personnel and their families. Unfortunately, retired veterans, many living on fixed income, returning members of the National Guard and the Reserve are not covered by the military lending law. However, they are covered by the current legislation in Pennsylvania for small loans. And this -- the Pennsylvania coverage currently in place has been recognized by the Department of Defense as one of the strongest in the country. That's why military organizations have been working so hard over the last couple Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 of years, particularly in Pennsylvania, to prevent payday loans being effective in Pennsylvania. Thank you for considering the welfare of the brave men and women who continue to serve in our military, and by adopting this resolution will be more benefit to them. Thank you.
My name is Soneyet Muhammad. I'm the Director of Education at Clarifi. In the United States Senate hearings this month, Senator Elizabeth Warren compared payday loans to throwing a brick to a drowning man. Contrary to the payday lending lobby, payday loans are not a lifeline for cash-strapped consumers. They help perpetuate a two-tier financial system of insiders and outsiders, have's and have not's, those who have access to financial products as Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 favorable and sustainable terms versus those who pay a greater proportion of their limited income to participate in the financial marketplace. Let's be clear about the real issue. Being low income or poor is a result of a shortage of money, not a lack of access to short-term credit. Instead of increasing the costs of being poor in this country, let's devote our time and resources to helping families avoid the circumstances that create a market for payday loans in the first place. Support livable wages and financial counseling. Keep Pennsylvania payday free. Thank you.
Good morning. My name is Joanne Sopt and I am pleased to represent the Unitarian Universalist PA Legislative Advocacy Network, UUPLAN. As a unitarian universalist and Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 as people of faith, we would like to commend the Philadelphia City Council for taking a proactive stand on predatory lending. Our organization, UUPLAN, has been actively working for years to prevent predatory lending from setting up shop in Pennsylvania. Although the product names keep changing, each proposal is actually a debt trap, which takes advantage of people who find themselves in vulnerable financial situations. With interest rates as high as 300 percent APR, we find these lending practices to be morally reprehensible. Kudos to the Philadelphia City Council for adopting a resolution to prevent any attempts to weaken Pennsylvania's existing strong laws around payday lending and encouraging our PA legislators to resist any efforts to change course. Thank you.
Thank you for your testimony. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016
I'm going to try to be quick. My name is Mike Roles. I am the Field Organizer for the Pennsylvania Public Interest Research Group. We like to say PennPIRG to make it easy. We're a membership-based organization. We focus on consumer rights and protections, protecting democracy and safeguarding our public health. We join with all the previous speakers for all of those reasons as to why we stand behind this and why we need to keep the new kind of credit product, this new long-term installment loan, which is a repackaged version of the regular payday loans, to keep this out of Pennsylvania. We want to thank Councilwoman Parker, Councilman Green as well for standing behind us, and we want to thank the whole body here for supporting us to keep payday loans out of Pennsylvania. Thank you very much.
Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Thank you for your testimony, sir.
Gladys Hughes, commenting on 160256. (Witness approached podium.)
My name is Gladys Hughes. I've been a homeowner for 35 years. I'm retired now. And I just want to say we work or have worked. We vote. We have been in our homes, some of us, many years, and for a few taxes, our homes can be placed in foreclosure and Sheriff Sale by lawyers using loopholes. We have many helpers that we put into office that don't help and others that are just hired to help people and don't. We, the landowners, fall behind sometimes. Some of our helpers are Senators, Congressmen, Councilmen, Mayors, Save Your Home representatives that don't help. They help the banks. We have judges like Ellen Ceisler, we have lawyers like Steven Corbin, and firms, law firms, like Phelan and Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Hallinan. There are reasons our hired people let things go by with doing nothing, reasons from redevelopments for land, stadiums must be built, billboards, malls that must be built, new people coming in town, homes they need, too busy with important business. Again, redevelopment for land. They -- sorry. We don't seem to count old age anymore, and things are done to people when they don't want to move. They are made to pay for things they shouldn't have to. As one lady stated a while ago, taking people's homes, putting people in the street is murder. I say it. I say it's criminal, done by criminals that use the law with loopholes, and they get away with it. It's allowed. (Applause.)
Brad Wilson, commenting on 160412. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 (Witness approached podium.)
Hi. I'm Brad, everybody. Just to start, I lied about the topic. I didn't come down to talk about that. I came down to talk about the sugar tax y'all want to impose on the soda. Everybody -- two days ago up on Rising Sun, I see two trucks going down the road and they're all protesting the science about it, but I got a great idea if you all will approve it. There's an idea that's a win-win for everybody. You look around the City, there's way too much empty real estate. There's nothing but dwellings for criminal behavior to happen on, guys storing their stash, rape women, whatever you want to do, it's criminal behavior. We need to get rid of the criminal behavior and help Richard Ross, since he's a cool dude, help him stop it and get all this real estate back into working positions. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 When you ride the El towards 69th Street from here, you come up above ground, there's a nice big cement building that says insurance on it. What about taking some money to get that building back into being productive again. It will bring property tax in or any kind of money in for the City. What about all the homes going up toward Frankford from here. All these homes get rehabbed and get all the others rehabbed for people in them and living. They'll bring more property taxes in for all of you. You're all crying for money. Let's do the real estate thing. We all know real estate is a smart way to go. Come on, Darrell. You're not stupid. How about the real estate. Can you agree with me? Can I get a smile on you? Come on, Darrell. You can smile better than that. How about let's do --
How many of you Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 would like to see real estate, raise your hand. How many would like to see real estate, everybody? This is the way to roll. We get real estate moving, put people in it, put businesses in it, it will bring money to the City. In my opinion, the City should be self-supported, and the real estate is the way to do it. That will also improve property taxes and it will also improve -- what's the word I'm looking for -- value of the properties. It will bring all the value of the properties up. It's a win-win situation. See, now Darrell is agreeing with me. Good man. I saw you. You're too far away, Darrell.
But come on, let's do the properties, everybody. It's a way to clean the City up. It's a positive resolution. It's a win-win situation for everybody. The only one who loses are Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 the criminals. Nothing? Does anybody have any questions for me? (No response.)
All right. Well, I'm done. I hope you guys all agree. Let's make the properties work for us. That will get money. This is something better. And on the soda tax, another way to do it, get rid of the 3 cents. Let's do a nickel on everything from water to alcohol. That will make it win. All right?
Sheila Lloyd, commenting on 160256. (Witness approached podium.)
Resolution 160256 continues to set yet another way by land developers. Resolutions are passing through our City Council Chambers at a rate that will make the Founding Fathers of this general assembly cry out from the grave. I guess about all the secretive land deals that are currently unrevealing in the media and under federal investigation, this city and the voters will now get to see just how concerned our Councilmembers have been with passing resolutions that are connected to real issues, those issues that truly affect the people and their constitutional liberties. Our city has a large young population base that now sleeps on the street. We also have an increasing rate of illegal foreclosures and a homeless rate that shocks us so much that we pushed them off the street when Pope Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Francis came to visit. Our voters need to know that come via election time just how much time and effort our Council has spent on becoming real estate brokers and land developers opposed to doing the right thing, which is to serve the people, especially those who have elected you. Council, please remember one thing. I mean, remember one thing, that Almighty God is watching and recording everything you say and do under that right hand you sworn as publicly displaying your commitment to protect and serve as a public servant. But we strongly urge you to become private servants to the banks and land developers in an effort to line your pockets, because that would truly be criminal, and that's something we feel that the voters should be made aware of. As you all know, your government immunity only protects you. If your acts and transitions are legitimate, only your Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 souls can answer that. Councilman Jones, Councilwoman Blackwell, Councilwoman Bass, Quinones, Parker, and Gym, you all started this project to correct the now flawed foreclosure system. Now let's work together to correct and make changes for the people and not the banks and Wall Street. With integrity and honor, the families of Philadelphia. Thank you for serving.
Johnny Young, commenting on 160256. (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning, Council, and members and people. Under Resolution 160256, our judicial branch, along with our mortgage foreclosure Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 program, which is nothing more than a special program, which in all cases is unconstitutional, has been ripe for the gavel for over several years now, and here are some reasons or key reasons I think we should pass 160256. Number one, when a special program or system is fundamentally injuring or harming the people, it needs a hard stop so that it can be evaluated and possibly overhauled. Two, when the injuries, misconduct, and errors arising from the special program are starting to appear systemic in its nature. Three, when the acts of that special program is in direct violation of fundamentally constitutional rights, liberties, and/or freedoms. Four, when that special program violates local, state, and federal statutes, codes, and laws and also circumvents local procedures. Five, when public funds are Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 aiding and abetting that special program without oversight, checks, and balances in order to eliminate misconduct in error, there is a real problem. Six, when a special program is used to steal, confiscate, misrepresent or violate the public trust accounts, assets, such as homes, cars, false imprisonment, there is a problem. Pope Francis shared a message that illustrates what this judicial branch has violated for decades, and we, the families of Philadelphia, will bring a hard stop to this violation starting today by demanding that the passing of this resolution is enacted. The Vatican created a world choice using the birth certificates to capture the value of each individual's future productive energy. Each state, province, and country in the fiat monetary system contributes to the people's value in this world trust identified by the Social Security number, Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 the SIN or the EIN number. Now we have judges that administrate the birth certificate trust account in court matters favoring the court and the banks acting as the presumed beneficiary since they have not properly advised the true beneficiary of their own trust. On September -- in two major court cases, Saunders versus State and Wheeler versus State, the most important duty of the judiciary is to make the titles to real estate as certain as possible so that every prudent and intelligent man and woman may know what their rights are and that they may hold their titles and abide in their properties in security and peace. Our City Solicitor shall not label private property as commercial property. Council, we strongly urge you to not become private servants to the banks and land developers, and do not Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 make your oath a lie. With integrity and honor, the families of Philadelphia.
Faruq Robinson, commenting on 160256. (Witness approached podium.)
Councilman Domb, since you are now majority leader of the Housing and Safety Committee, please remember as you push forward new strategies that may enhance the land structure, that you remain vigilant to stand by your oath of office and refrain from being caught up in the banks, Wall Street, and developers that you have networked with in your past and present career. You are elected to serve the people and protect all liberties, Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 property, and freedom that are unequivocal. In honor and integrity, the families of Philadelphia.
Theresa McCormick, commenting on 160420. (Witness approached podium.) MS. McCORMICK: Good morning, City Council.
Good afternoon. MS. McCORMICK: It's afternoon already?
Yeah. MS. McCORMICK: City Council, my name is Theresa McCormick and I'm from the Point Breeze area, and I felt compelled to bring my community group as well. The reason why we are here is, we're asking you to hold this bill. The Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 reason why -- which is 160420 -- is that -- which we have always come down here to ask you to do -- is to give affordable housing in our area. Councilman Clarke, you said to us that you was going to give us 300 houses. We haven't seen them yet. We are here now again with this bill for 300 affordable houses. We have heard from certain Councilmen for a new 20-year tax abatement, but we still have not gotten our 300 houses. We have been time and time again down to the ZBA. We have not been respected. We have three major projects, Councilman, which are at 20th and Wharton. We have had -- which is not heard of within the black community. We have had 755 people to come out for that project. The community has said no. Councilman Clarke and City Council, you said that you was going to bring in 10,000 jobs. That area there Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 could be the catalyst of your 10,000 jobs. It is right now zoned as industrial. We ask that it stay industrial. We're asking that the ZBA respect the community. We are asking that the ZBA or you, Councilman Clarke, please intervene. The reason why I have this here today is because this is the only time when we get out on the corners that City Council or anyone from Council will hear what we got to say. Our voice counts as well. Thank you.
Maria Ortiz, commenting on 160420. (Witness approached podium.)
My name is Maria Ortiz. I'm a grandparent, a senior, an heir in South Philadelphia area. What I'm asking today is for you to hold these properties so the residents can get some answers to what is really going on in our area, and also with the City-owned properties. We have not had any affordable housing for low-income families, only high end, plus in two-story row homes they put there. I'm one of them. I live next to the property. They put this humongous house, broke my ceiling. I had a rubber roof, and tearing down my front, but there's no responsibility to these developers. They said they're going to fix them. They Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 promised us nothing. I'm one of them and I live next to one of them. What we are asking for today is fair treatment from the ZBA and respect our votes when we attend these hearings. The developer comes in with large amount of money and allegedly pay off people to support them or have people come from outside in the community using addresses that not people living in to participate in these hearings. The zoning meeting on the behalf is unethical, it's not fair, and it's humiliating to the people in the community. We need job readiness, business, store, recreation center for our community. If this had been a white area, they would have got it. They are building our area not to conformity, but disruption. Point Breeze community area is not our community anymore. It's a war zone. It has been a long, hard fight. By me being an heir, a senior, raised my children, put them into the Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 best college, I have no money now. I work hard to stay in this community. They go to the executor, get them to sign off, the heir gets nothing. That's not fair. You say you are for the community, for the residents in the Philadelphia area. I think not. You take a sworn duty to protect us. Where is the protection in the state of Philadelphia? Darrell Clarke, I'm very surprised at you. You stand up and you say you love us. Where is the love? Show it now. (Applause.)
Joanne Campbell, commenting on 160420. (Witness approached podium.)
I'm a resident Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 of Point Breeze and I attend community and zoning meetings, but I never see City Council on property projects presented at our community meetings. Our community needs affordable housing, not just market-rate housing. I support some projects, but some I don't. I notice when we vote against those projects, our votes are not being represented at the Planning Commission and ZBA. It seems our vote doesn't count. I ask City Council to address the unfair treatment at the ZBA. We ask for your respect in our vote. No means no. Thank you.
Thank you for your testimony, ma'am. (Applause.)
Tiffany Green, commenting on 160420. (Witness approached podium.)
I just want to follow up on what some of my residents or colleagues have said. Back in February, over 80 properties were given in -- supposedly submitted into the Land Bank, and we've tried to track it and we have had a very hard time tracking these properties to see what is the plan for these properties. Now, as Theresa stated, we were promised 300 houses. Now, when we went to our Councilperson, our Councilperson told us to go talk with you, Council President Clarke. And we wrote you several times. We have yet to hear from you, and we continue to get the double talk. We are saying at this time that we think at this time that these properties need to be addressed and we need to have this affordable housing. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 The other issue that we feel at this point is that there is no real town hall meeting to come down and discuss with us what we want. At this point, we should be able to address the height limit. Everyone else is getting bills, and we have yet to get our housing conformity bill. We should be able to address that height and that deck. Why should we not be able -- take away our rights to have a say on what comes in our community? And so we're asking you to have hearings on gentrification. Mayor Kenney said when he was Councilman that he would have hearings on gentrification, but now that he is the Mayor, he has the power to have hearings on gentrification and we're calling for those hearings, because as you can see, there are a lot of issues regarding properties, developers, real estate, and taxes. We need to have hearings, and we're requesting these hearings now. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 The ZBA is not respecting us. We go down there and they are voting in favor of these developers against the black community. They're not respecting us. The Planning Commission is voting against us. They are pro market-rate, and the City officials are pushing gentrification when you don't respect our vote. We're saying right now that enough is enough. We've had enough. We feel as though what's in the media has shown that there are a lot of promises about low market-rate housing. You say it, but we don't see it. And then you want to stand up here and smear and bring other residents down and say -- smear our name and our character without discussing things with us. Well, you know what? What goes around comes around, and at this particular point, God is strong, that you cannot go around and talk about people and try to take other people's word and yet at the same time you Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 yourself going to stand there like you're perfectly innocent. You are not. And we want our 300 houses, to stop the gentrification in Point Breeze.
Carl Hill, commenting on 160420. (Witness approached podium.)
My name is Carl Hill, a longtime resident of the South Philadelphia community. I'm here today -- you say land and then you say bank. To me, that's money. We need these properties in our community to be given back to the people. I was a longtime resident of South Philadelphia and I received one of the properties that I did sweat equity within myself, and I brought that property up and now I'm paying taxes on Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 that property. I ask that City Council and the community come to receive -- I ask that City Council give forth these land banks back to the community so we could take these properties and bring them up and pay taxes on the property and not just give them to the developers so they can come in and gentrify our community and put us out. We want to have the land that our people give to us, our grandmothers and our grandfathers, an inheritance they gave to us. I wish to give my property to my children. Not just so the developers can come up into our community, take us out, raise our taxes. You talked about a 20-year tax abatement for the developers to pay not one dime, where our community has to pay and hold them up and pay the taxes. I don't think it's right. And also I want to address the radio listening right now to come forth and try to like come out to some of these Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING meetings, come to your community and give forth the effort to stop this. This is not right. You talked about land and you talked about banks. It does not sound right. Please help us. South Philly, please come out. Please come out, South Philly. Stop the gentrification of our community. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
There are no other speakers on the public comment list, Mr. President.
Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. We will now consider the bills and resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar. And, Mr. Decker, if you can read the title of 160256.
A resolution Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING calling on the Sheriff's Department and Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Court to impose a Moratorium on all residential mortgage foreclosure sales and related Ejectment actions resulting from residential mortgage foreclosure in Philadelphia.
Thank you, Mr. President. 160256 has been in the works for a long time. It was my intention to try to bring parties together to try to work two tracks, individual cases, of which I'm aware of 13, 13, and then look at systemic problems within the system. My good colleague Councilwoman Bass has agreed to do an audit of the mortgage foreclosure systems, the Sheriff's Department, as well as other ancillary departments that become involved with that to see if not -- and there's a quote that goes with this. We don't want the imperfect to be Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING the enemy of the good. Where there are good things going on, where we save thousands of homes, let that process continue. But if there is one hitch in the system, if there is something that we can tweak to make it better to safeguard these people, we intend to look for it, find it, and correct it. Second part of this is that we found at least seven different key areas where -- you know, where there's smoke, there just might be fire. When you have a limited number of law firms that deliver the maximum number of writ services and those same law firms are vested in the removal of individuals from homes and the increasing of wealth to their firm, sometimes every now and then, there can be a conflict of that interest. So we're going to look at those things, and we hope that the courts and the sheriffs will slow down just a little bit to allow us to catch up to where we need to be, to correct things that should Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING be corrected, because for us sitting here, there is no home insecurity. None that I know of. For those sitting out there, every day they deal with that insecurity. Is that knock at the door not even the Sheriff but some entity trying to take them out of their number one investment in life, their home. So with that, I call for the passage of this resolution. (Duly seconded.) (Applause.)

And a resolution urging the Pennsylvania General Assembly to oppose legislation that would weaken existing protections against predatory lending and harm the citizens of the Commonwealth by legalizing high-cost, long-term payday loans, introduced by Councilwoman Parker.
The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING
Thank you, Mr. President. I move for the adoption and wish to be recognized to make some comments. (Duly seconded.)
Thank you. Would you prefer that I do it now, Mr. President?
Okay. Thank you, Mr. President. Let me take this opportunity to thank Kerry from CLS, UUPLAN, Captain Blessington from the Military Officers Association, John Dodds from PUP, Soneyet Muhammad from Clarifi, Mark Horrell from Southwest CDC, Reverend Holston from POWER, and Mike Roles from PennPIRG. Mr. " That was the first line of the Inquirer editorial. And that was after we had waged a very intense battle to try to stop the legislation from moving in the Pennsylvania House. Unfortunately when I was there, I thought that the NRA was the most powerful lobby in Pennsylvania. It wasn't until standing up to do battle with this industry that you realize that there were some very powerful and wealthy forces behind those actual companies attempting to legalize loansharking in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and thus Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING impacting communities, particularly those with high levels of poverty like the City of Philadelphia. What's challenging about how this is moving forward now -- and I want to thank all of the members of Council for their support for this resolution, but what is interesting about this is that they are now attempting to -- these predatory payday lenders who have a track record of intentionally targeting some of our most vulnerable community members, they are now attempting to promote this product and the legalization of payday lending by usurping our already strong laws in Pennsylvania under the guise of consumer protection via the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau out of Washington. So I want to say this to you, Mr. President, and for the benefit of the listening audience, that when I called former Councilwoman Marian Tasco in 2012 when we were dealing with this issue to Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING say, Hey, we need City Council's help, and this Council passed a resolution then, and when it moved over to the Senate, Councilwoman Quinones-Sanchez introduced the resolution in this body during that time, and we didn't know that what former President George W. Bush made illegal from our active-duty service men and women, that there was actually an opportunity for it to potentially become law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And so we need to thank for the record and I want to say that State Representative Jason Dawkins, Steve Kinsey, Tonyelle Cook-Artis, State Senator Art Haywood, and our Democratic Chair of the Appropriations Committee, Vincent Hughes, are waiting and preparing to do battle on this issue as it attempts to move through Harrisburg, but I don't want any of us to take for granted that the effort to prey on desperate borrowers, those who are in desperate need of access to capital via short-term Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING loans and that they hope that they will be able to pay back on payday, but they end up paying such high interest and fees that they have less money to pay for their bills, so they end up taking out another loan, and that leads them into this vicious debt spiral, I dare say that I would hope the residents of the City of Philadelphia would call on the Pennsylvania General Assembly to stand firm against this effort. All of the advocates that have gathered together, that they will continue to stay united and working against this product as it moves forward. We, members of this Council, have unitedly gathered and decided to send a letter to the CFPB urging them to issue a strong federal payday lending rule that puts an end to payday loan debt trap nationwide, and we are asking that the Bureau's final rule build on, rather than undermine, the strong state protections like those in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and that Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING they enhance our ability to enforce them. Finally, Mr. President, I want to say that Council's voice on this issue is not a new voice. Councilwoman Blackwell, you, Mr.
President, along with Councilman O'Neill and I can't remember if Councilman Greenlee was a City member, when we first raised this issue when I was not elected but a staffer and had the great honor of planning literally the first hearing on predatory lending in the City of Philadelphia that started via New Century Homes by a guy named John Bird who was building in the Fourth District, along with the Ninth Councilmanic District, and we organized those first hearings here, and what spiraled out as the result of that, that it wasn't just the subprime lending industry that was, in essence, gouging via high interest and fees and other practices, but that it was this payday loan industry. And so now do they not just do a short-term borrowing via paychecks, but, Mr. Speaker -- Mr. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING Speaker. I had a flashback. Mr. President, they, in essence -Mr. President, you have to see how many people have used their car titles, literally their car titles as collateral. So I want to thank members of this Council and obviously ask for everyone's support and want to thank yourself, Councilwoman Blackwell, Quinones-Sanchez, and Green for your leadership and Councilman O'Neill for helping us to introduce this today, and we ask for everyone's support. Thank you, Mr. President.
If Donald Trump and Speaker Ryan don't get together today, there might be a vacancy in Washington for the Speaker's position. There's been a motion and it's been seconded. All in favor of the motion? Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 5/12/16 - STATED - 2ND READING (Aye.)

The ayes have it, and the resolution is Stated Meeting May 12, 2016
There are no other resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar, Mr. President.
Thank you very much. At this time, are there any speeches on behalf of the minority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Oh.
Thank you very much, Council President. I have three items to talk about. The first has to do with the resolution that was passed by this body last year requesting and identifying the opportunity for a local hiring preference regarding train manufacturing, and we have a train manufacturer right here in Philadelphia. , in which all members of Council signed the letter requesting that Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 hiring preference. In return, we received a letter addressed to Darrell Clarke, President of City Council, and copied to, I believe, all members of City Council, and it contains two important errors. And particularly on the second page of the letter, in Paragraphs 4 and 5, it states that SEPTA would not be able to consider the local hiring preference because it would unduly limit competition by including a mandatory local hiring preference in its RFP. And as was pointed out in our earlier budget hearing, that it's not a mandatory local hiring preference. It's an optional local hiring preference. And in the fifth paragraph, it says that the pilot program has expired, and that, again, is not correct. The pilot program has been extended and is currently extended. So, again, I would ask that SEPTA consider including a local hiring preference in its contracts. There are Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 in the United States. Recently, $305 billion were appropriated for the next five years for the transportation infrastructure. And the Buy America Act, which applies to all the bidders on -- all three bidders on this contract are subject to the Buy America Act, which is being increased in its percentage from 60 to 65 to 70 percent in terms of what has to be bought, purchased which is American-made products or services by any of these foreign train manufacturers. The only train manufacturer in this region is in Philadelphia. The other is in Massachusetts. I'm not sure where the other one is, but they're not anywhere near here. And so with that, I will again circulate a letter to my colleagues to respond to this letter and request a local hiring preference. Again, for the public's information, that's 350 good-paying jobs, benefits. Twenty Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 be returning citizens, and it supports 5,000 other workers. On another note, I just alert the public that our seventh and final community meeting regarding the heroin and opioid crisis will be held this evening in South Philadelphia at Palumbo Recreation Center, 700 South 9th Street. We will wrap up the public hearings and we'll have a City Council hearing regarding how we can best address this issue on Friday, May the 20th in a hearing chaired by Councilwoman Cindy Bass. And, finally, on a much happier note, I'd just like to say that we're hosting a free event for girls. It is going to be held at Temple's Student Pavilion, their athletic pavilion. Everyone in the City is invited, girls ages 10 to 17. It is empowerment through spirit. We'll have the 76ers dancers, cheerleaders from University of Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Temple, as well as Philadelphia University, and some great folks from our School District and a demonstration by the cheerleaders from West Philadelphia High School and some women who are very successful today who are former cheerleaders. Once we're done the clinic and doing that portion, another portion of this event is about college and careers, vocations, and also about scholarships for those who are in cheerleading. For those who don't have any experience in cheerleading, there will be a beginner section.
And so I'd like to say that also for anyone who is interested, if you're a former cheerleader and you can add something to this, it's a way for us to reach out to the girls in our communities, give them something to do, and I hope everybody will participate. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.
Thank you. Two quick announcements, Mr. President. Tonight in Roxborough we're having a first Night Market of the season. It is an unprecedented move on Ridge Avenue. They're shutting down from Fountain Street to Roxborough Avenue, and thousands of individuals who normally come out on a spring night will be out there for 40 different food trucks lined up. If you are hungry, bring your appetite tonight. And it's going to be a wonderful affair. It's a family kind of event. We're anticipating something like 25,000 people. Second thing is, after you -or before you go there, you can join us and we'd like to invite City Council and staff members to a public special criminal justice-related event. It is at Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 studios at 5:00 p.m. to talk about criminal justice reform. The Return Project is a film that is going to be aired there. So if you want to do movie in the theatre with me tonight, you start at the WHYY viewing and then join me up in Roxborough to have a bite to eat. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Squilla.
Thank you, Mr. President. I do want, on a somber note, want to remember that today is the one-year anniversary of the Amtrak accident down in the Harrowgate section at the Frankford Junction, and I just wanted to let people know they did have something to do at noon, but there is going to be -- the Philadelphia Fire Department Family Association in partnership with the Harrowgate Community Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Philadelphia are hosting the sunset memorial ceremony at 7:00 p.m. at Wheatsheaf Lane and Coral Street near the Amtrak derailment site. They will have a wreath hanging for each of the lives lost and a formal moment of silence and a candlelight vigil to honor the lives lost, recognizing the survivors, and acknowledge the heroic efforts of our first responders and the community support. So just think of them in your prayers tonight and always for the tragic accident and the loss of the lives and so many people that were injured during that derailment a year ago today, Amtrak No. 188. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker.
Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, I Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 take this opportunity to say thank you, sir. I'm saying thank you to you in reference to your memo dated May the 11th that was circulated to all members of Council bringing light to the issue of housing preservation in the City of Philadelphia. Mr. President, I just want to note that while the issue of Philadelphia's aging infrastructure and the need to invest in underinvested sacred locations and buildings and parks and recreation centers throughout the City of Philadelphia has been an issue of much discussion, I have not heard a lot of discussion about the issue of home preservation. And as I sit here and I listen to lots of discussion about the need to create affordable housing and we're talking about Philadelphia's growth and we're talking about future development, I will dare say to you that there are residents across the City of Philadelphia who are watching, saying Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 we already have? Who is paying attention? I want to say to -(Applause.)
-Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, who, in essence, via his resolution talking about the Basic Systems Home Repair and sort of investigating the reasoning behind that over 5,000-person waiting list of Philadelphians who were in need of preservation assistance and in many instances, I just want to note for the record, because someone just thinks sometimes if you just need a roof or you need a heater or you need to get the driveway repaved because you're falling or you're getting sued, they think you have access to capital and the credit naturally to go to the market to just get a loan to do it, and unfortunately that is not what the financial reality for all Philadelphians are in the City. So I want to tell you, I look Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 you in support of the issue of housing preservation and making sure that while we're talking about future and growth and development, we don't forget our aging infrastructure and that if we don't have stability and preservation for the homes that our residents, our long-term residents, already live in, we won't have people to go into those recreation centers and libraries. So I want to thank you for your leadership and thank Councilman Jones for highlighting the need to fund the Basic Systems Home Repair. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman, and thank you for your continued input on this very critical issue. The Chair recognizes Councilman Green.
Thank you, Council President. Yesterday in the Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 News, there was an article about a gentleman by the name Michael Anderson, who was a plaintiff, along with a disability rights group, Vision for Equality, and they won a lawsuit against the Franklin Institute. For those of you who may not have read the article in yesterday's Daily News, he has cerebral palsy. So in order for him to attend the Franklin Institute, he had a personal care assistant go with him. And so not only was he charged admission into the Franklin Institute, as well as his PCA, or personal care assistant. They filed a lawsuit in federal court in front of Judge Gerald McHugh, and there was a decision in their favor. I'm circulating a letter to members of this body, and hopefully you will sign that letter that we're sending to the President of the Franklin Institute regarding this matter. I find it very disturbing not only as Chair of Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Disability, just by being a Philadelphian in our city. So hopefully our members will sign on to that letter.
On another note, last Sunday was Mother's Day. I hope all the mothers had a great day. I hope that all the ladies in particular in this body who are mothers, I hope they had a great day. I hope they had a chance to enjoy for the first time in a long time a pleasant and warm Sunday. But like many of the ladies of this body who started their career in education, my mother was a teacher. She taught at Roosevelt, FitzSimons, Gratz, and spent 27 years at Olney High School. Often my sister and I would just be getting up for school and eating our breakfast when our mother would get into her 1974 red Chevy Nova with her radio dial locked in to WHAT, Mornings with Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 Mary, on her way to Front and Duncannon to teach at Olney. After school she would come home, make dinner, check our homework, call the parents of students that she taught that day, and grade papers early into the morning or late at night. The next morning she would get up and do it all over again. Now, when I was in law school at Temple, I had a chance to teach part time at Olney High School, and I saw the impact that my mother and other teachers had on students every day. Since that time, I've had a chance to visit various schools throughout the City and seen firsthand the impact these teachers and other educational professionals make in our schools every day and see the work, the hero work, that they do on a daily basis really trying to provide a great education opportunity for our young people. It's time for a fair contract for the people that mold the minds of the Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 our city, our children. Through the resolution that I introduced today, I urge both sides to come back to the bargaining table and execute a fair contract. These are the people that work with, as I said earlier, the precious minds of the children in the City of Philadelphia. Let's get a fair contract. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Quinones-Sanchez.
Thank you. I want to echo the sentiments of Councilwoman Parker and thank you for your thoughtful initiative on affordable housing preservation. It is something that all of us believe in, and it is, I think, hugely important. And in that spirit, I will remind folks that at 12:00, we hosted -- and many of the staff was there -- Rebuilding Together Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 President, you and I have strategically used the work, the volunteer work and the leveraged work, of Rebuilding Together Philadelphia, as we have done work in our districts to make sure that we're just not building new buildings next to existing folks, but that we're making sure that people feel that we're protecting them and what I like to call my "how do we keep people safe in their homes" agenda. And so I ask the Council folks who did not get an opportunity to participate, they're still in the Caucus Room. There's materials there, and encourage everyone as we look at affordable housing, accessible housing, to look at Rebuilding Philadelphia as a partner, not only for your CDCs but for your private developers in getting folks, whether it's their roofs, windows, all the different little things to ensure that a new development is about making a Stated Meeting May 12, 2016 just about new people coming in. So I encourage all of you to go to the Caucus Room after Council. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilwoman. That concludes the speeches on the behalf of the majority and minority, and the Chair recognizes Councilman Greenlee for a motion to adjourn.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, May 19th, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. (Duly seconded.)
