A resolution adopting the Philadelphia Music Industry Task Force Report and Recommendations issued by Council's Global Opportunities and Creative/Innovative Economy Committee.
Thank you very much, Council President. First, I'd just like to thank the Music Industry Task Force. This has been a long journey. We've done this for several years now. I think we started in like 2012 or '13. Anyway, it's taken a long time, but we're climbing up the rung of this ladder, and I think the first few rungs have been especially difficult. But it is the music industry leaders themselves and the music industry participants, all the artists, producers, STATED MEETING 88 1/19/2023 1/19/23 - STATED - 2ND READING everyone involved has been stalwart in this and just so dedicated. All of this is really volunteer effort, and after the pandemic, being hit so hard with the live music venues and such uncertainty, they have stayed together and continued to push this forward. This report is just that significant. And so with that, I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)

Thank you very STATED MEETING 97 1/19/2023 much, Council President. I wanted to thank everyone here, all my colleagues, yourself, over these many years to get to this point of passing the report, the recommendation of the Philadelphia Music Industry Task Force. Having come to this point, there are more rungs up the ladder, and I know what's coming. Those recommendations, I would urge everyone and everyone listening to look at the ten recommendations. There are many recommendations that could have been made. These are our top music industry leaders. They tried to do things that are practical, things that can be done. One of the most important, of course, will be to establish a permanent Music Industry Office. There's no exaggeration in how great our city is when it comes to the creative arts economy, especially music, just how much talent we have in this city STATED MEETING 98 1/19/2023 mean to everyone in our neighborhoods and communities to really give them the platform that they need. This will cost money. It is a challenge between our body and the Administration exactly how important of an item this is going to be, but I think Council has led the way and I hope that we will continue to do that. The second thing I want to say is, I did introduce a bill today and it is about the at-large Councilmembers. Again, for those who don't know, we have ten districts, and that covers our entire city, ten districts, our entire city. Yet we have at-large members who travel throughout the City, sometimes in different nooks and crannies, sometimes being approached by people who are looking for help as well, and sometimes they weren't able to get, with so many demands on our District Councilpeople, get some assistance or some help because of limited funding, and the only thing STATED MEETING 99 1/19/2023 within this body is ask them where they live and tell them to talk to their District Councilperson, and maybe we'll do an introduction or talk to their State Rep or talk to the State Senator or talk to somebody. Me, I introduce them to the foundations and corporations. We just completed our Youth Non-Profit Symposium. But I do think it is well worth it for at-large Councilmembers, seven at-large Councilmembers, to be able to say, yes, I'll be able to submit application so that your non-profit and the good work that you want to do can be considered for funding as well. So with that, I thank you, Council President and colleagues. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Councilman. Speeches on behalf of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilman STATED MEETING 100 1/19/2023
Thank you, Mr. President. Let me first thank my colleagues Councilman Johnson, Councilperson Gilmore Richardson, Councilmember Gauthier for their patience. Downstream is a real thing. It affects Eastwick. It affects Cobbs Creek. And so their encouragement for me to talk to the members of their community I took to heart and, therefore, we introduced this amendment to the bill. But I'd like to for the record because of the comments cite some facts. One fact is that the steep slope legislation I have some understanding of because I'm the prime author of that legislation when we got it passed some years ago, and the intentions of that legislation were to take a hard look at overdevelopment in hillside neighborhoods, such as Manayunk, East Falls, other places in Germantown to take STATED MEETING 101 1/19/2023 we take woodland and make impervious surfaces which makes a downhill slope. We looked at it. We passed it, but it was never truly intended for open spaces like golf courses, unless they were trying to build a physical structure. That's number one. Number two, when we argue, and sometimes in this Chambers we argue, but what we never do, and not even in this Chamber, is try to villainize people for having a difference of opinion. So when you tend to put me on the front page of Grid Magazine four times, I have to cite to you that I represent 66 percent of the parkland. I did the Manatawna Farms overlay. In these Chambers we had hearings to stop fracking that encouraged the Water Department to put its sensors ten miles up on the Schuylkill so that if in fact a catastrophe happened, we could close off those intakes to safeguard our water. In fact, we have when my STATED MEETING 102 1/19/2023 -- what is it called, the Monsanto bill. What was the actual name, Member Bass?
Public spaces bill, there you go. I was on that bill, worked with my colleague to figure it out. It was not easy, but we did it. When we were in Upper STATED MEETING 103 1/19/2023 bikers could not get reception on phones, we held Verizon to task to make those parks safer by connectivity. I cite these things not to brag, but everybody has a right to freedom of speech. They do not have the right to freedom of the facts. And so as we look at Cobbs Creek Golf Course, an $80 million investment to restore a historic golf course that Charlie Sifford was only able to work on, and the Brown Bomber when he came to Philadelphia played on to its historic nature, it benefits my district. I will safeguard other districts. We will continue to meet with stewards of the park to figure out how we could do that, but please do not think that the community doesn't benefit. We're talking about three different schools, high schools, that will have golfing programs, golfing teams. Five young people a year will go and learn STATED MEETING 104 1/19/2023 not just talking about being a caddy, but how to safeguard against pesticides and things like that. There is a commitment from this non-profit to enrich the community that they reside in. I cannot tell you -- I wish I could -- some of the people, national golfers, hint, hint, golfers of color, hint, hint, that are interested in this golf course because of its investment, but I guarantee one thing, that we will continue the communications process, that I will take their considerations to heart, and if we need to amend it again, we will amend it again. But please just to win an argument, do not create villains where there are none. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes STATED MEETING 105 1/19/2023
Good afternoon, everyone. I'm excited to be back in this Chamber with you all to complete the people's business. Since this is an election year, some have referred to this as a lame duck session of Council, but let me be crystal clear. I am not slowing down, and I intend to keep championing legislation that uplifts and empowers our most vulnerable residents, because there is work to be done and it needs to get done this year. So I'd like to take a few minutes to discuss some of my legislative priorities for this Council session. In the next five years alone, over 5,400 affordable housing units are at risk of disappearing across the City, and 900 of these are in the Third District alone. We have a duty to take bold and proactive measures to preserve as many of these homes as possible. STATED MEETING 106 1/19/2023 Otherwise, we will enter an even more desperate affordability crisis than we are already in. But this 5,400 number is more than a statistic. It's 5,400 low-income families who may be thrown out of their homes and thrown into the gauntlet with thousands of other families struggling to find an affordable home. That's why on the final day of Council last year I introduced the People's Preservation Package. The package gives the City and our affordable housing partners additional tools that will help us preserve as many expiring affordable homes as possible. This includes requiring property owners to give notice of their intention to sell affordable housing properties to other affordable housing developers and community groups. Property owners will also need to give other affordable housing providers the opportunity to buy an STATED MEETING 107 1/19/2023 so that the homes remain affordable. In addition, the People's Preservation Package authorizes the City to create a directory of all affordable housing properties in Philadelphia, their funding streams, and when their funding expires. This common sense step will give the City and our partners the information we need to prepare for looming expirations, with the intention of keeping families in their homes. The final piece of my People's Preservation Package is a hearing on illegal discrimination against households holding tenant-based vouchers. The Fair Practices Ordinance prohibits landlords from refusing to rent based on a tenant's source of income, including tenant-based vouchers. However, more than 65 percent of Philadelphia landlords illegally refuse to rent to families with vouchers, and we cannot allow this rampant injustice to continue. That's why at STATED MEETING 108 1/19/2023 uncover what we need to do to end voucher discrimination once and for all. In addition to affordable housing, I remain focused on championing a bold, targeted, and trauma-informed response to our city's gun violence epidemic. This year I believe we must devote more attention to supporting youth at risk of or already involved in gun violence. Like many of you, I have heard from my constituents that the City's violence prevention and intervention initiatives focused on young people aren't enough to meet the need on the ground. And as the victims and perpetrators of violence become younger and younger, it is clear that we need to be doing much more to protect our children. So I look forward to my upcoming hearing with Councilman Johnson to determine what legislative and STATED MEETING 109 1/19/2023 take this year to keep Philadelphia's young people safe. I also look forward to working with you all to protect the priorities this body has fought hard for over the past three years. This includes giving grassroots anti-violence organizations funding to complete their work and investing in proven strategies to reduce violent crime, such as play space intervention like cleaning and greening.
Last year my JustServicesPHL campaign championed a $30 million investment in improving City services, starting in the neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by gun violence. And I look forward to continuing this campaign during the budget process, because it will take much more than $30 million to give working-class Black and brown neighborhoods the level of municipal services they need to disrupt the cycle of violence. STATED MEETING 110 1/19/2023 also turn my attention towards workforce development in the life sciences sector. Millions of square feet of lab space and other real estate have come online in West and Southwest in the last couple of years. These spaces will be filled by life sciences companies focusing on gene and cell therapy, pharmaceutical research and development, veterinary medicine and more, and these businesses will generate thousands of high-paying jobs, many of which will be available to those without a college degree, such as lab technicians. That's why I will hold a hearing to identify steps the City can take to dramatically expand life sciences workforce development so that we can help working-class Black and brown residents benefit from this economic growth. I will seek to establish and expand high-quality training opportunities that prepare working-class STATED MEETING 111 1/19/2023 applicants for jobs before they come online. We must also create opportunities to expose young people to the life sciences industry, support GED programs with ties to the life sciences, and link training for ramps to specific job opportunities. I am excited to build off of the successes of Philadelphia's existing job training and placement initiatives to ensure that the life science industry grows alongside rather than without working-class Black and brown residents. I look forward to working with you all to pass legislation and a budget that prioritizes protecting our most vulnerable residents. Philadelphia is counting on us, and I'm determined to deliver. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman. I'm sorry. I got caught up in it. I was STATED MEETING 112 1/19/2023
You were on a roll. Very impressive, Councilwoman. Thank you so much. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Vaughn.
Welcome back, everyone. I'd like to send out get well wishes to our colleague Katherine Gilmore Richardson. The Councilwoman isn't feeling well. And, lastly, I want to say how proud I am of my son, Kevin Lamont Vaughn, who turned 21 today. (Applause.)
Super exciting. He's in his third year of Howard University, and I could not be more proud as a mother to know that my STATED MEETING 113 1/19/2023 make a difference in the City of Philadelphia. Thank you.
All right. Awesome. The Chair recognizes Councilman Phillips.
Thank you, Council President. I want to say Happy New Year to everyone who is here today and also want to say greetings to all of our colleagues as we work earnestly to deliver for the needs of all the residents of the City of Philadelphia. I was compelled to speak today because I want to make something very clear about why I do the work that I do and why I love to serve. For the past few weeks or so, I visited residents and neighborhoods throughout our district, the Ninth District, from Fern Rock to Logan, to Northeast, East Oak Lane, Mount Airy, STATED MEETING 114 1/19/2023 Lane, Burholme, Oxford Circle, Castor Gardens, Lawncrest, Lawndale, you name it. Throughout this time as I was visiting different neighborhoods, I became overly aware of why I really, really wanted to be the servant of the Ninth District and, most importantly, be the voice of our people in this area, and it has to do with the fact that I truly believe that when it comes to legislation, when it comes to initiatives that come out of our district, it should not come from the heart of what Anthony Phillips believes should happen. It should not come from the heart of what a few people believe should happen. It should come from the heart and the soul and the ideas of what the majority of the Ninth District wants from its leaders. So I'm here today because I have always believed in collaboration, I've always believed in listening and, most importantly, I've always believed in STATED MEETING 115 1/19/2023 of ideas and initiatives. So during my travels, I've come to learn that the Ninth District wants a presence of their Councilmember, and I vow to be very present among all the neighborhoods in the Ninth District. They also want their Councilmember to listen, and I vow to listen and not only, to also do. They also have made it very clear that quality of life issues, a great standard of living is something that's really important to our district. So with that being said and listening, I have come to understand that we have a serious truck parking issue in our district, semi-tractor-trailers. That is why I've been glad to work with Councilman O'Neill and Councilman Driscoll on initiatives that are not only affecting my district but also their districts and other districts in the City of Philadelphia, because what I've come STATED MEETING 116 1/19/2023 there is nuisance and truck parking in the City of Philadelphia. And what's happening is that they're ruining pavements, they're also ruining people's property value, and they're also creating blight, and it's not safe for our children. I've walked behind trucks at night and I've seen how dangerous this is. So this legislative session I'm hoping that we are able to get -- I'm not hoping. I'm asking, I'm demanding that we rid this problem of semi-tractor-trailers in the City of Philadelphia, because there are places to park and we will definitely find more places to park for our truckers, but we can no longer allow for people to get away with doing illegal activity when they know it's illegal. In addition to that, what's also important to our neighbors is that they're concerned about abandoned cars, STATED MEETING 117 1/19/2023 loitering, they're concerned about dumping, and they're concerned about public safety, just like all of us. And when it comes to public safety, what I've heard is that they're interested in mental health programs, but they're also interested in quality youth programs. They're interested in going back to Leon Sullivan days and doing something around jobs over crime. And they're also interested in finding ways on how we can do more town watches, which will require not as much legislation as much but more funding but also more initiatives, starting with me as their representative.
I see myself not as an authority figure in the way that I am the dictator of the Ninth District. I see myself as a facilitator of ideas, making sure that all of our voices are heard. I just want to say that I'm excited about this new year and what this new year has come, and I thank all of my STATED MEETING 118 1/19/2023 colleagues, especially the more seasoned ones who have been here, for welcoming me, including you, Council President, and helping me become adjusted to this very different auspicious body of work when it comes to City Council, because one of the things that I'm also serious about is figuring out a way how to make the City much more efficient and effective and responsive to our neighbors. I come from a background of being an executive in a non-profit working with young people, and we had a "whatever it takes" approach to everything that we did. We stayed up all night, all day just to get things done, and things got done. And I have that mentality when it comes to City Council, but I also want to thank people for helping me become more acquainted with this body of work, and I think because I have a service background, this hasn't been that hard of an adjustment, but what has -- and that's why I continue to be STATED MEETING 119 1/19/2023 that I'm doing. So with that being said, thank you all so much, and I look forward to presenting more ideas that comes from the voices of the people of the Ninth District, because I'm their representative of that voice and I believe in collaboration. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Harrity.
Hello, Council President, fellow members. Today I introduced legislation to amend Section 9-1100 of The Philadelphia Code to expand access to life partnership regardless of gender identity of the individual in the relationship. I'd like to thank Councilmembers Driscoll, Gilmore Richardson, Jones, Thomas, Squilla, and STATED MEETING 120 1/19/2023 partnerships do not provide the same rights to a couple as a marriage and can be terminated at any time, but it can allow some couples to obtain certain benefits, including insurance coverage, medical decision-making, and visitation rights. This legislation brings Philadelphia in line with other cities such as New York, which has amended their life partnership ordinance to include all couples regardless of gender. While not all insurance carriers will provide the same benefits to life partners as spouses, it is essential that the status be afforded to all Philadelphians as a way to show their commitment to the individuals they love and to obtain important rights and privileges while being traditionally -while not being traditionally married. It is my hope that in the new year, that we continue to make changes to STATED MEETING 121 1/19/2023 the rights of all Philadelphians while we work to tackle the most pressing issues of our city. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman O'Neill.
Yes. Councilman Harrity, I passed along that I wanted to co-sponsor that. It's my office's fault, but I'll be on it, and this is public notice that I'm co-sponsoring, because I intended to from the beginning.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson.
I was following protocol, sir, waiting for the STATED MEETING 122 1/19/2023 don't want to speak out of line. Also, Council President, I would like to be on the record co-sponsoring Councilman Harrity's bill. I want to ask, Council President, first and foremost, before we do it formally, take a moment of silence for my Chief of Staff, Christopher B. Sample, who passed away. His service was yesterday. I want to thank all the Council staff members who actually took time out of their schedule and showed up. I want to thank Councilwoman Jamie Gauthier and Councilwoman Cindy Bass and Councilman Curtis Jones for being supportive of the family and showing up. And we really appreciate as a staff and as a team all the outgoing love and support that my team has received going through this very, very trying process. Chris Sample was not only my Chief of Staff but also a friend but, most importantly, he was a lifelong STATED MEETING 123 1/19/2023 the City of Philadelphia working with the first African American Mayor here in the City of Philadelphia, Mr. Wilson Goode, Sr., as well as the first African American Congressman, which is Mr. William Gray, as well as our District Attorney, Lynne Abraham, and also myself. And so he's going to be truly missed. Always had a smile. Around the office I called him Billy Dee. That's how smooth he was, right, old school Denzel Washington. So we want to definitely continue to keep his life and legacy going with the work that we're doing, and just ask for an official moment of silence on his behalf.
Thank you. Can we please have a moment of silence. Please stand. (Moment of silence.) STATED MEETING 124 1/19/2023
Thank you. Thank you, Councilman. Really good person. Loved him. Thank you.
Councilwoman Gauthier, did you want to be recognized again?
You're good? Okay. All right. Oh, Councilman Johnson.
These are my official remarks, just a couple of announcement, a couple of brief announcements. You know, as I sit and I listened to colleague Councilwoman Sharon Vaughn speak with pride and joy about her boy turning 21, attending the prestigious STATED MEETING 125 1/19/2023 University, my heart smiled, and also it brings me to the reality of why myself and Councilman Curtis Jones is hosting a mayoral forum tonight on gun violence. The only topic that we believe that should be addressed by all the candidates is the number one issue that we have been working very aggressively on here in this Chamber and this body is addressing the issue of senseless gun violence here in the City of Philadelphia. Day in and day out I have met so many mothers -- I just honored a group of mothers -- who didn't have the ability to see their son turn 21 years old. I work with plenty of mothers and fathers who every holiday was sitting at the table where there's an empty seat because they have lost a son and even daughters to senseless gun violence. And so this evening Councilman Curtis Jones as Chair of Public Safety and myself as the Chair of the Special STATED MEETING 126 1/19/2023 will be hosting a mayoral candidate forum at St. Joseph University in Mandeville Hall. It starts at 6:00 p.m. We want everyone who has the ability to come out and listen to what these candidates have to say about this particular topic to participate. It also will be streamed live on WPVI Channel 6 as well as WURD. And so this is going to be a very, very critical and telling forum to see where we're at, because this is the number one issue that we need to be addressing day in and day out here in the City of Philadelphia. And if you're interviewing for any job, you need to do your research and come to work, come to the interview ready to do work. So I look forward to this forum this evening. Also, on Monday at 10:00 a.m. we will be hosting a Transportation and Public Utilities hearing on the SEPTA's Bus Revolution plan. This will give my colleagues as well as the wider public STATED MEETING 127 1/19/2023 listen, ask questions, and be informed on the overall SEPTA transportation revolution plan that's going to take place not only in my own councilmanic district but all throughout the City of Philadelphia. To the general public that's listening, if they would like to give testimony, please get in contact with my office at 215-686-3412 or 215-686-3413, extension 8, and ask for my legislative aide and policy person, Ms. Brett Nedelkoff, and she'll take down your information to make sure you're able to sign up for public testimony. You must do it before 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time by Sunday, January the 22nd. And you can do that also by e-mail, and her e-mail is Brett, B-R-E-T-T, dot, Nedelkoff, N-E-D-E-L-K-O-F-F, @phila.gov. Thank you very much, Council President.
Again, we want to make sure that any time you start talking about changing routes and how people go to and from work and how people go to and from the doctor, people at least have to have an idea of what that plan looks like but, most importantly, a say, because it's definitely going to change the quality of some of individual lives. And so with that being said, thank you very much, Council President.
Thank you, Councilman. They have some explaining to do about Route 48, Route 7, Route 25, right? It goes on and on over in my neck of the woods. So thank you, Councilman. We'll make sure our people tune in. Thank you. With that, the Chair recognizes Councilman Squilla for a motion to adjourn.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move that Council stand STATED MEETING 129 1/19/2023 Thursday, January 26, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Duly seconded.)
