Good morning. Sorry to be a little late. We can take our seats. If the visitors will retire behind the rail, we're going to get started. Before we start, I'd ask if anyone has a cell phone or any other electronic device that makes noise, can you please turn it off, on vibrate or on airplane mode so we don't have any disruptions. Thank you very much for your cooperation. So to give our invocation this morning, the Chair recognizes Reverend Dr. Wilbert S. Richardson of Refuge Evangelical Baptist Church. Reverend Richardson is here today as the guest of Councilwoman Parker. I would ask all guests and members to please rise. (Councilmembers, visitors, and guests rise.)
First, I would just like to just give honor and Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 -- first, I'd like to give my great gratitude and thanks to the President of this Council for having me and my Councilperson for inviting me, Cherelle Parker, and all of the distinguished Councilpersons who are represented here today and certainly the audience of this august body who has come to hear the proceedings that follow. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we are admonished in our word in your Bible that every time we assemble, we are to pray for our elders and those who are in authority over your people. It is for this reason we bow this morning to pray for our elected representatives and those who have ordained for these positions, who preside daily within these sacred walls, this councilmanic assembly today. We give you praise and honor and thanks as they've convened for the business at hand. First, I would like to pray for Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 staffs, that you would endow them with wisdom to aid the disenfranchised, to give assistance to those who are struggling, the sociological maladjusted, those who are physiological abnormal, and for all of those in this great diverse city that they would give assistance and security to every mosque, every synagogue, every parish, every temple, and every church within their districts. Heavenly Father, we pray for the people that have gathered today. We desperately need their wisdom, their strength, and their courage, for they are elected officials given over to give aid to those of us who may not be able to speak for ourselves. We pray, Lord, for our children, our millennials, our post-millennials, who need better education and the safety of going to school. We pray for their parents, who need higher-paying jobs and the hope of a Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 affordable housing and security for our elderly. Lastly, we pray for representatives' agenda today. You know their needs and you know what they have on their hearts and minds. Give them great wisdom, and let them be able to lead with passion and courage within the sacred walls, these sacred walls, that they may be able to give the responsibility to those who are responsible, to encourage those who need encouragement. In the mighty and massive name of God, the father, we pray. Amen. (Amen.)
Reverend, thank you so much for those inspiring words. We really appreciate it. Council shall be at ease. (Council at ease.)

Good morning. For me specifically, it's an honor to be here with these phenomenal young people who represent some of the best that we have to offer in the City of Philadelphia as it relates to extracurricular activities and activities that young people participate in out of school. I myself serve as a basketball coach still even to this day. So it's always an honor any time I get a chance and an opportunity to recognize phenomenal student athletes here in the City of Philadelphia. With that being said, honoring and recognizing the nationally ranked Blackhawks Athletic Club on the occasion of being named both 2019 Pop Warner Superbowl Champions and 2019 UYFL, which is the United Football League, Champions. Whereas, The Blackhawks Athletic Club was first established in Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 1968 as a youth basketball program for children looking for sports as an alternative to neighborhood gang violence; and
Whereas, operating their home field at 11th Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue for the past 30 years, The Blackhawks Athletic Club has been an enormously positive presence to the surrounding community; and Whereas, The Blackhawks serve over 300 young people each year, supporting both boys and girls ages 5 to 15 years old, and is supported by over 100 volunteers, made up of dedicated coaches, parents, and supporting members; and
Whereas, The Blackhawks Athletic Club capitalizes on the organization's inherent philosophy of fun and equality through fundamental training and team building experiences by enhancing youth health, safety, and wellness through sports; and Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Whereas, the long-term goal of The Blackhawks Athletic Club is to inspire and equip each of their members to be positive and productive members of the community and citizens of the City of Philadelphia as they transition to adulthood; and
Whereas, in 2009 The Blackhawks Athletic Club lost their Founding President Mr. Reginald Mtumishi. The following year The Blackhawks Athletic Club clenched its first Pop Warner National Championship in the Pee Wee Division in his honor; and Whereas, as of December 2019, The Blackhawks are proud to have won six local, five regional, and two national championships in football -(Applause.)
Whereas, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 2020 celebrating their highest award to date; Blackhawks Pee Wee Football Team and their head coach Reggie Smith, winning the 2019 Pop Warner Superbowl Championship. Furthermore, the Blackhawks 13 Unlimited Elite team and Head Coach Keon Savoy won the 2019 UYFL (United Youth Football League) National Championship. This marks the first time in the history of the City of Philadelphia that one organization garnered two national championships in one season; now, therefore, be it (Applause.)
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia, that Council does hereby recognize the extraordinary achievements of the Blackhawks Athletic League and their tremendous fan base. And further be it resolved, that an engrossed copy of this resolution to be presented to The Blackhawks Athletic Club on behalf and with the Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 appreciation, honor, and gratitude of this City Council body. Thank you, everybody. Congratulations. (Applause.)
And the Chair now recognizes Coach Don Richardson for remarks. COACH RICHARDSON: Thanks everybody for coming. I'm Coach Don Richardson. I'm the Director of the program. This program wouldn't even go nowhere without the assistance of my coaches, the parents, and the players themselves. Right now we're just trying our best to just keep the kids out of trouble. We'd like to present this right here to City Council. We have some more gifts for the City Council to come. So we appreciate everything you've done for us. Thank you very much. (Applause.) Stated Meeting February 27, 2020
Council will be at ease. That's what I'm talking about. Where's Mark Squilla at? Where's he at? Council will be at ease. (Council at ease.)
Thank you and, again, congratulations. Awesome young people. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Kenyatta Johnson.
Thank you, Council President. Council President, at this moment I want to take a moment to acknowledge a leader in the body of politics on the local level from Evanston, Illinois City Council, Alderwoman Robin Rue Simmons. She was here yesterday as the guest speaker for the National Coalition of Black Reparations America for Reparations Awareness Day at Temple University. But, most importantly, in November of 2019, Alderwoman Simmons was Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 a bill approved by Evanston City Council that will tax the sale of marijuana in the town to fund reparations for its African American residents. It is the first of its kind law in the nation, and her law is expected to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. And I want to also acknowledge my colleague Councilwoman Katherine Gilmore Richardson who also came and joined me with a meet-and-greet reception yesterday in the City Council Caucus Room, and thank you, Council President, for your support as well. So can we all take a moment to acknowledge --
Alderwoman. (Applause.) Stated Meeting February 27, 2020

We are joined today by members of Pointman as well as his widow, Claudette Abram. She is here with Ari Merretazon. I'd ask her to stand and all of Pointman Soldier Heart Ministry out of Triumph Baptist Church. (Standing ovation.)
Thank you very Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 much. I would like to speak on my bill, just to save everybody time. I'll just explain it publicly.
Last week on Friday I was listening to the news and I heard about a memo to the police about what they should do with a supervised safe injection site. The first time I heard of this. Over the weekend, I learned that there is a site in mind, and by the beginning of this week, there was an address. And the judge's order was finalized Tuesday evening, and by Wednesday, Safehouse announced that they were operating the following week. People find it incredible, unbelievable that Council did not know anything about this. They're very doubtful, how could my Councilmember not know that this was happening, and one of Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 the reasons is because this was done very secretly. I believe it was done intentionally so that the public could not have input. And what happened is, it was done through an existing portion of the Code because the location is Saint Agnes Hospital. What I am saying through this bill is, there is no such thing contemplated in The Philadelphia Code. There has never been, until that order was finalized, the idea that a location would invite and rely on people, patients, bringing illegal drugs with them, the content of which nobody knows, part fentanyl, fentanyl, rat poison -nobody knows what's in there -- to come on premises and inject themselves under medical supervision, but leave at will, regardless of their condition, whether they're going to walk across the street or get in a car and drive. The community -- so for whoever is in favor who supports safe injection Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 sites, whoever opposes, I think generally people agree that it's just shocking that this site is opening a week after the federal order, without any hearings, information or knowledge to the public because it is going into an existing health facility. What I am saying is that type of health facility, it's never been done in this country. It is uncontemplated in The Philadelphia Code and, therefore, I've introduced a section of Title 6, the Health Code, in Chapter 6, which is a section that deals with identifying nuisance health establishments by stating that unless a process established under Section 3 is followed, a supervised injection site is presumed to be a nuisance health establishment because it relies on drug-addicted individuals bringing illegal controlled substances into the health establishment to consume on premises and depart at will regardless of their condition and safety of Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 themselves and the public. Any plan to operate a supervised injection site shall be publicized to every resident, business, and institution within a one-mile radius of the proposed location at least six months prior to the planned operation of such a site. The proposed supervised injection site shall provide a detailed plan of operation to the residents, businesses, and institutions three months prior to holding a public hearing. The hearing must be held at least three months prior to the planned date of operation. The proposed supervised injection site may not operate without approval of 90 percent of the residents, businesses, and institutions within the one-mile radius of the facility, and if criteria A through D are satisfied, then City Council shall vote to approve or disapprove the operation of the proposed supervised injection site, unless its operation is already determined to be in violation of the Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Commonwealth or federal criminal laws, in which case such facility shall not operate. Thank you.
Thank you, Council President. I want to also personally thank my colleague and I thank his legal mind for stepping up to the plate and really looking at our Code to address this issue. And I'm the District Councilperson who represents the area in which the proposed safe injection site is being proposed. As I mentioned these last several days, this process has not been transparent. You have the Health Commissioner that actually sits on the Board of Safehouse and have never one time reached out to my office, talked Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 about this plan coming to the Second Councilmanic District. More importantly, you have a site that has two daycare centers as well as a senior life center, and down the street is a high school in which children populate day in and day out. We have received thousands of calls -- hundreds of calls from parents and community residents concerned. As a father of two toddlers, it's not even up for debate if I would want my children to go to and from pre-K stepping over needles. God forbid one child finds a pack of heroin, or just to be exposed to the level of that type of lifestyle at such an early age. There has been zero community input in this process, and it's very disrespectful that there was a press conference announcing the opening of the site before the actual community meeting, which will give the residents an opportunity to voice their concerns about Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 this particular site. And I want to say for the record, this isn't about if you support individuals who are addicted to drugs. I'm an African American. I come from an impoverished neighborhood in South Philadelphia, but there was not a crack safe house for individuals that ravished my community growing up in South Philadelphia, and I want to state that for the record. So it's not about if you support individuals who have drug-addicted problems. There is more than $100 million that the community -- that the Department of Behavioral Health in the City of Philadelphia receives to address this issue. We have great programs such as Gaudenzia, Northeast Treatment Center, ODAAT that are already providing these type of services, but this particular site in itself is unacceptable just for the simple fact that you have children who are attending school in this facility Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 and that whole quality of life in that immediate area can possibly go down as a result of this particular proposal. I'm working very closely with my colleague Councilman Mark Squilla, who borders my district. And so we both have constituents who have been calling us, and so we're working with a legal team to look at all the options that are available. Thank you, Council President, for allowing us and supporting us in this effort. I want to also acknowledge Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez as well. At the end of the day, rather you're for this site or not, the community deserves to have a voice at the table. And so we'll stay on top of this case as we move forward. But, again, I want to also thank my colleague Councilman David Oh. And I'm also one of the key prime sponsors of the bill. Thank you, Council President. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 (Applause.)
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Thomas.
Thank you, Council President. I first want to recognize and thank my colleagues Councilman David Oh as well as Councilmember Kendra Brooks for co-sponsoring the legislation related to James Abrams. And growing up, we called him Deacon Abrams. Deacon Abrams was married to his wife of 53 years, who is here today, and his Triumph family is here today as well too. So, again, thank you, Councilman Oh, for working with us to push this back. Council President, if it's okay with you and the legislative body, I just would like the members of Triumph Baptist Church that came today specifically to acknowledge the legacy of Deacon Abrams Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 moment to stand as we acknowledge his greatness, not just through Pointman services but through Pointman Ministry at Triumph Baptist Church. (Applause.)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you again for being here today. Pointman. I had a lot of interesting conversations with him. Sometimes we weren't necessarily on the same page, but the conversations were very interesting. Thank you again. That concludes our introduction of bills and resolutions, and we will now move to our reports from committee. And the Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson for a report from the Committee on Rules. Councilman Jones, you want to -- thank you.
On behalf of Councilman Johnson, thank you, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 on Rules reports two bills with a favorable recommendation.
To the President and members of the Council of the City of Philadelphia, the Committee on Rules, to which was referred Bill No. 200013, entitled "An ordinance to amend the Philadelphia Zoning Maps by changing the zoning designations of certain areas of land located within an area bounded by Morris Street, 26th Street, Moore Street, and 27th Street"; and Bill No. 200019 entitled "An ordinance amending Chapter 14-500 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled 'Overlay Zoning Districts,' by amending Section 14-514 entitled '/FNE, Far Northeast Overlay District,'" respectfully reports it has considered and amended the same Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 bills to Council with a favorable recommendation.
Thank you. The Chair again recognizes Councilman Jones.

Thank you, Councilwoman, very much. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 So before we have our Final Passage action on any bills and resolutions that are on our Final Passage Calendar today, we will have our public comment session. It will go as follows. And before I say that, we are currently in the process of altering the Final Passage Calendar. The way the rules read, if there is significant number of testimony on the same bill, the Council President, based on the rules, has the ability to pare that back significantly. What we're currently doing is attempting to have a list pared back and have individuals speak. Because you all are speaking on behalf, we will allow individuals to be there as the speaker speaks. So I want to do this in a fair and equitable way, give everybody a chance to be at the podium. So we're trying to pare that back to try to get accommodation for members who speak about this particular program. So that being said, if you have Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 signed up, when your name is called, you will go to the middle of the Council Chambers. The podium is there. There's a device on that podium. When the light turns green, it will be your time to speak. When the light turns yellow, you will have 30 seconds to conclude your remarks, and when the light turns red, we'd ask that you adhere to our guidelines and please conclude your remarks. You will be given three minutes to testify based on our ability to pare back that list. I want to thank you very much for your anticipated cooperation. And, Mr. Decker, please call the first name on the list. I'm sorry. Mr. Decker, hold on one second. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Gym.
Thank you very much, Council President. I have business that takes me outside of City Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Council and would like to be requesting a leave, but recorded as voting aye on all bills and resolutions.
Thank you, Councilwoman. Leave shall be granted. Thank you very much. Mr. Decker.
Joe Eastman, commenting on 200006. (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning. My name is Joe Eastman. I think most of you know, I'm retired military, live in South Philadelphia, and a taxpayer. Before I start, I'd like to ask every veteran in this room, every family member of a vet who wishes to do so, every supporter of a vet to get up and stand up. Just let us recognize you. (Applause.)
It's my honor to be here with every one of you. Thank you Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 all for your service. I want to start by quoting or actually paraphrasing President Barack Obama's former Commander of course who is in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as his deputy -- or as his Director of Central Intelligence, four-star General David Patraeus. He wrote a long letter as a West Point graduate to a group of freshmen up at West Point. I'm not going to read that letter. It's pretty long. I can forward it to anybody if they want to read it. But I'm going to go over the last sentence real quick, and it kind of gets in my mind what we are, veterans up here, fighting for. General Patraeus said, Just by the fact that you're one of the half a percent that is willing to go in harm's way, put your life on the line and serve this country, that in and of itself makes you part of an elite organization. Now, I doubt anybody back here thinks they're elite, but I think it's Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 well worth it to kind of play on what General Patraeus said. The other thing is, what I'm worried about when all this stuff goes forward in November, because I think we've seen it kind of happen over the last 24 hours, is that as sure as I'm standing here, somebody is going to come forward with something else saying let's put another group in that bill so they can get the same thing that we have. Well, my response to that is, if you want what I have, go out and earn it. Do what we did. If not, find something else to do. The third thing I want to talk about, third thing I want to talk about, there was an article that was floated around last Saturday by a lady by the name Jenny DeHuff, and it quoted somebody in this body as what we're just -- and I'm paraphrasing here. If I get it wrong, I apologize, but I think you'll get the understanding, that we're just Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 trying to help kids in a tough economy. I'm almost 70 years old. This is the best economy, best job market I've seen. As many of you know, I was a job developer for Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition, and I kind of do it in the veterans community kind of as a hobby. In the last 11 months, I have sent to the veterans community 110 organizations, businesses, in Philadelphia that are looking to hire. I am here to tell you finding a company that's willing to hire is not difficult. If I can find that, just kind of doing it as a hobby, why can't the School District of Philadelphia do it? And if they don't know how, I'll be glad to show them. There are jobs out there for our young people, and I would say to any young person, if you want what I got, you go out and earn it just like I did. Thank you, sir.
Thank you for your testimony. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 (Applause.)
Monty Wilson, commenting on 200016. (Witness approached podium.)
Thank you. My name is Montgomery Wilson. Some of you know me. I'm a Senior Attorney with Community Legal Services in Philadelphia where we serve low-income Philadelphians with their civil legal issues. I personally have represented hundreds of homeowners who are dealing with preserving their homes. We all remember the predatory lending days and the bill that City Council passed over a decade ago to fight predatory lending and the actions that you took in Common Pleas Court to help homeowners, and my most recent project has been focused on helping people to pay their property Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 taxes and both allow them to stay in their homes and pay their property taxes. My mother warned me never to follow children and animals, and I think I've also learned today don't follow football players. So let's hear it for the Blackhawks. I'd like to say that on a personal note. What I'm here today for, though, is to urge you to put money back in the pockets of Philadelphia's working families. One of the bills today relating to the City wage tax refund, Bill 200016, is essentially a local version of the earned income tax credit. It currently exists on the books, but as the amendment proposes, it would increase the amount of the refund for a family of four from about $171 per year up to about $800 a year. That is their wages put back in working families' pockets for eligible low-income families. It's very similar to the earned income tax credit that benefits millions of Americans, and Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 we have the same program here in Philadelphia, but few, few families take advantage of it. At CLS every year, we see over 10,000 low-income homeowners and families who come to us for advice. About 3,300 of those are wage earners. Those are my clients, my constituents who could benefit with an extra $600 a year in their pockets. That's a bill that will pay for their groceries. That's a bill that will pay their property taxes. That's a bill that will pay for their SEPTA pass. And also when you expand that to the entire City, that is thousands upon thousands of your constituents who will benefit from your investing in the wages they worked for. I urge you to pass this bill unanimously today.
Thank you for your testimony, sir. (Applause.) Stated Meeting February 27, 2020
Joe Danihel, commenting on 200016 and 200176. (Witness approached podium.)
This is an official decree of the people in writ of mandamus quo warranto and, as such, requires immediate action and remedy. Every week, Council, Mayor, Governor, and others transfer private property to the government, probably unlawfully. Paul Robeson and Martin Luther King fought against those violating officials stealing the people's property and denying God-given rights. In the decades since their struggles, the race and sex of these oath-violating officials has changed, but their unlawful actions have not. In the most diverse Council in City government ever, bullying of the Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 people appears worse than ever. Aaron v. Cooper, 358 U.S. 1 requires your prosecution for violating your oath to God. Would Martin Luther King approve of your apparent unlawful behavior? If violating one law one time would send your constituents to jail, why hasn't the Attorney General prosecuted your oath violators in my case? The constitutions require immediate remedy of this breach of law, breach of close, breach of fiduciary duty. Your oath of office requires you to act or face prison. 42 USC 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987; 18 USC 241, 242, 2381, 2384; PA Constitution, Article I, Sections 1 through 28; 26 PA CSA 703, 705, 708, 709, 711, 712, 713, 716, 902, and other laws listed in SCOTUS 15-8965, 14-1330, 14-4056 appear violated. I call on the federal and Commonwealth governments to perform their Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 constitutional obligations to investigate and prosecute all involved in the theft and illegal deed transfer of my home, 1038 West Wyoming Avenue. The denial of God-given 42 USC 1982 property rights for 26 years is egregious, extraordinary, oath-violating, and requires immediate remedy. A just government must obey the rule of law. This color of law government must have its Charter to govern revoked until a constitutionally compliant government is installed. Public servants cannot refuse their sworn duty to act any more than a fireman can refuse to fight a fire. The sovereign people require oath, Constitution, and law be enforced, and jail is required for all who violate oath, Constitution or law. I remind Council, it takes a lot of cooperation to create and allow all of this monumental corruption. And these veterans that are here in this room Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 did not fight overseas or in any war to allow you to violate the Constitution, and demand that you obey your oath. (Applause.)
Thank you. The Chief Clerk will please read the name of our next speaker.
Darryl Johnson, commenting on 200006. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon, City Council of City of Philadelphia. My name is Darryl Johnson. Thank you again for this opportunity to address you. As a retired teacher, I am not opposed to school-to-employment opportunities for our city's youth, but as a veteran, I am still opposed to Bill 200007 as written. I have an academic-only diploma from the School District of Philadelphia. This bill does not benefit graduates like me. My nephew's parents are City law Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 enforcement officers. He attends a Catholic vocational high school in the City. This bill does not benefit future CTE graduates like him. Dr. Hackney, Director of the Mayor's Office of Education, reported in this very room last week before the Labor Committee that the bill is exclusive and does not cast a wide enough net. The bill also lacks clarity for the qualified electors. Voters will assume that this is a desire by the City to connect and capitalize on the over 1,000 hours of industrial skills and certifications these graduates have, or why else would they select this group for preference? Dr. Hackney said again in this location that this preference should be aligned to industrial skills. Unfortunately, this assumption is wrong. In fact, the CTE preference is broad based, and it's not aligned to skill sets. The proof of this is in the Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 amendments. Notice that there's a movement to increase the number of points for Philadelphia Police Explorer cadets from three to five. This Charter change would have placed a CTE preference over these cadets, who have been trained for years for this position. I don't think this is fair. There is also another major oversight. The amendment lists or limits CTE preference to eligibility of three years after graduation, and it is believed that a smaller number of CTE graduates will stay in the City to seek employment. In comparison, we veterans have lifetime preference. So what is the problem? Here is what is not being said: Each year a new group of CTE graduates will start their three years of eligibility. Starting year three and beyond, veterans, legacy parents -- I mean, legacy families and others will have to compete with three, not one, CTE graduating class every year indefinitely. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 This is no small number. Even the Human Resource Director mentioned in this very room that this is not necessary. In all due respect, this bill should be better vetted.
Mr. Johnson, we're going to ask you to wind down your testimony. The time is up.
Yes. Almost done. Okay. In closing, freedom is not free. Veterans preference was never given. It was earned and is an exception. Thank you. (Applause.)
Thank you for your comments, sir. Clerk will call the next witness.
Tyrone Love, commenting on 200006. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning, Madam President, City Council, veterans, good morning. Ma'am, to piggyback off of what Dr. Johnson -- my name is Tyrone A. Love, last name L-O-V-E. I am the Commander of VFW Post 3090's local located at 5212 Race Street. I am the past Commander of American Legion Post 682 located at 159 East Sharpnack Street. I am the Director of Veterans Affairs for the State of Pennsylvania for the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge in Pennsylvania. The reason for my coming today was in reference to the veterans preference. Ma'am, I ask you, I beg you at this time if City Council can understand that, again, what we do, we earn what we have done. The veterans, some have given their lives for the freedom that a lot of people take for granted. To give the children and/or Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 others the preference that we have earned, as stated by my colleagues here, I ask at this time please do not take our preference. We're not against the children receiving certain things, but at the same time, ma'am, I ask them to please don't forget the sacrifice that many men and women like myself have made, and when we come home, sometimes we're forgotten. So I ask you, Madam President, you know me and many people here in the Council know who I am. I am an advocate for veterans preference and/or veterans being taken care of, homeless veterans, because we have earned certain rights. And I ask you and I applaud you if you can look over this bill and please remember the freedoms that we have given so many of you and so many take for granted. Thank you, ma'am. Have a great day.
Thank Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 you. Thank you. (Applause.)
David Pearl, commenting on 200006. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon. This time I made it by three minutes the other way. It was three minutes of last time. My name is David Pearl. I am the State of Pennsylvania appointee to the National Legislative Committee for the Veterans of Foreign Wars. I was here last week, as you know, and told you I was here representing our Commander in Chief and told you that their interest in what's going on here in Philadelphia is real. So what they sent me was, they wanted me to point out to everybody here in Chambers that under the U.S. Constitution, the 14th Amendment is something you might want to look at, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 because it's going to defend the right of veterans and focuses on what you're trying to do here. Also, Title 42 of the U.S. Code, Subsection 1983 also specifically addresses what you're going to do or what you're attempting to do here. So what I want to do, I'd like all the comrades that are in the room here with me, everybody who served as a veteran, please stand up. I want to point something out to everybody. So members of Council, to yourself, ma'am, everybody that's here, including myself, when they went into the military put up their hand to protect and defend this Constitution. Everybody you're looking at signed a blank check saying they would take a bullet to defend this Constitution. That's how they earned that right for that veterans preference. I've been in discussion with a lot of you. You all support veterans. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Don't ever lessen the value of that thank you that you give us, because like the people before me had said, they earned it. This can be dealt with another way, but to lessen the ten point preference for veterans is a slap in our face. I want to thank all of you. Thank you. (Applause.)
Thank you. Clerk, please call the name of the next speaker.
Nathaniel Smith, commenting on 200006. (Witness approached podium.)
Nathaniel Smith. Good afternoon, Council President and Councilmembers of the great City of Philadelphia. My name is Nathaniel Smith. I am the State Junior Vice Commander for the Veterans of Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Foreign Wars, the oldest combat organization consisting of 25 districts, 440 posts, and approximately 72,000 VFW members. I'm here on behalf of my Commander, Wayne Perry, and to echo the sentiments of our National Legislative Chairman, David Pearl, representing Pennsylvania VFW and 60,000 veterans of the City of Brotherly Love to oppose this Resolution 200006 and 7, amendment of the Charter of the Civil Service Commission. I'm a retired U.S. Navy veteran, served 24 years, retired in 1999 as an E-9, which is the highest rank you can achieve in the enlisted community. My base pay after 24 years was $32,000, which looking back at it, if I was a civilian and I had a civilian job, I could have probably made that at McDonald's. I would probably have made twice that amount. I just recently retired from the Department of Labor and Industry, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Bureau of Occupational and Industrial Safety as the Director of the Boiler Division and Chief Boiler Inspector for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania after 20 years. If it wasn't for the extra ten points as a veteran for my military service, I would have never got hired. I am not opposed to giving career and technical education graduates extra credits, as I was one myself. My mother was a single parent. There was eight of us left out of 12. I was the only one who graduated high school. She couldn't afford to send me to college, so I joined the U.S. Navy, and I'm very proud of what I've done. I applaud Councilwoman Richardson for her reference and concerns for these students. However, it shouldn't be on the backs of the veterans of Philadelphia, who have made sacrifices for our freedom. The veterans have earned the ten points due to their education, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 experience, and training, whether they served four years or 30 years.
Thank you, sir. Sir, I'm going to ask you to please wind down your testimony.
Okay. So specifically if you pass this ordinance, you're in violation of PA State Veterans Preference Act Title 51 Subsection 7104(b) and 7109. Thank you.
Will the Clerk please call the name of our next speaker.
Louis Lanni, commenting on 200006. (Witness approached podium.)
Mr. President, my name is Louis Lanni. I was born, like many people in this room, I was born, bred, educated here in the public schools Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 of this city and still standing. Furthermore, I was a policeman here in Philadelphia, separated by injury some years ago. I come here today to speak in opposition of the bill being considered that would offer a preference to the CTE students of the Philadelphia public schools, a bill that I'm sure is very well intended. I think that singling out and offering a boutique preference to this small group of an entire group of Philadelphia public school students does a disservice to the other students, the many thousands of students that attend our public schools. Furthermore, I believe that preference should only be offered under two circumstances. One being to recognize the extraordinary service to our community offered by a group, in my mind veterans and police officers or firefighters or other City employees who Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 were killed or murdered many times in the course of their employment or veterans who are injured on the battlefield or killed. So I would urge you to reconsider on what I'm sure was a well-intended bill and think about the injustice that's being done to the many thousands of men and women who have put on the uniform of this country and of this city and have done their duty and have many times been injured and murdered in so doing and to the exclusion, speaking about the students of the Philadelphia public schools, all others who weren't beneficiaries of the CTE program. The public school students that didn't go through that program are equally valuable to us, and they deserve the same chance that anybody else gets. So I would urge you to rethink this well-intended but I think premature offering. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Thank you.
Larry Holman, commenting on 200006. (Witness approached podium.)
Good afternoon, Council President Clarke and all the other Councilmen and all my fellow veterans that are here today. First of all, I just want to remind you of my testimony that I offered a couple of weeks ago. It seems like here in Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation, that we need to be cognizant of what it means to preserve this great nation and what it takes, and a lot of people have stepped forward to answer the call when our nation was threatened. Now, I want to keep my remarks brief just by reminding you that there Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 was a fellow named Steve Mason that wrote in the 1980s a book called Johnny's Song: Poetry of a Vietnam Veteran, and in that there was a poem called The Casualty, and that poem acknowledges that the poorer males were more likely to become veterans, only to find when we get home, somebody moved the town. Now, the young vets suffered a loss of time and opportunity that can never be returned. Therefore, I object to putting high school graduates on a par with veterans. Thank you. (Applause.)
I'm a United States Marine. I'm honorably retired Lance Corporal Louis Gibson. Have no sympathy for me. I earned this. My name is Louis Gibson and I'm Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 an American because I'm brave. Not because I was born in the United States of America. I was born in Liberia, Nimba County, Liberia, and I served the United States Marine Corps and earned everything, this wheelchair and every disability that I suffer from, and I embraced it. And the preferences give me a little bit of an advantage to even out the playing field in the job market. So when you give me a little bit of preference, I appreciate it, but I really don't want nothing. I earned everything. I earned that. And if you give it to anybody, don't ever tell me thank you for serving, because you're an Indian giver. (Applause.)
That's an American phrase when somebody gives you something and then they take it back. What y'all doing? I came to America. My father and my mother brought me here for a better life. I'm 44 years old. I left Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 the military under the age of 30 catastrophically injured, but I'm still good looking. I'm a class clown. Everybody know me. I'm a comedian. But this is a serious topic. That's why I'm here. And I'm representing the United States Marine Corps and anybody who calls themself an American, not because you was born here. Because you brave. It's the home of the brave. That's who I protect, not the home of the cowards. Take a look at me. Look at this African American. There really was born in Africa a real dude. Look what America did to me. They gave me so many benefits. I'm rich, but I earned that. I'm Puff Daddy with a government check, for real, and everybody in this city know me. And I was born in Nimba County, Liberia. Thank you, America, the greatest country in the whole world. Look at me. Look at me. I'm 100 percent Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 service-connected total and permanent, and all of my disabilities are static, and the VA told me I would never walk again. The greatest country in the world. I got to wait until I get my VA check at the end of the month a little bit. Anybody needs anything for your non-profit, y'all call me, LouisGibson.us. I'm the guy in the wheelchair sitting next to Michelle Obama. She smell good.
Thank you for your testimony, sir. Thank you for your service. (Applause.)
He's not here? (Audience member talking without microphone.)
Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Okay. Mr. Decker, is that it?
Thank you very much, and thank you all for your service. (Audience member speaking without microphone.)
Hold on. Hold on one second. Hold on one second. So I told you all early on before we started this, we were going to pare the names back because we can't have 25 speakers on the same subject matter, and we pared that list back. So this concluded that list. But if I let one person and then the next person and it goes on, then we end up having 25 speakers on one issue. That's just not -(Audience member speaking without microphone.)
I'm Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 2/27/20 - STATED - 2ND READING just saying, ma'am, I got to have some structure here, and it may be unpopular, but we understand. This will be an issue for a number of weeks, so people will have an opportunity to weigh in on this. Thank you. Ma'am, if you have written testimony, ma'am, if you have written testimony, you can submit it and we can put it in the record for you. Okay? Just make sure your name is on there and we will make it a part of the record. Okay. Our next order of business is our Calendar. Before we move on with our Calendar, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Gilmore Richardson. You good? All right. Thank you. All right. Mr. Decker, can you please read the title of 200174.

Thank you very much, Council President. I do understand that as a result of my resolution and bill today, I will be entertaining conversation. I think that's a great thing. People have different opinions. I've spoken to a lot of folks. I would say I'm pretty familiar with the subject matter. The only thing I'm going to say is when people -- when you approach me to talk about me, I'm going to start with these numbers: 120,000 murdered in Mexico between 2006 and 2012, all related to providing heroin to the United States. 120,000 estimated murdered in Mexico. 27,000 still missing. Start with those numbers, then move to the number of people murdered in Philadelphia, incarcerated in Philadelphia, all involved in the drug trade, human trafficking from minors, women, go through the list. If you want to show me studies, include all of those Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 about the harms done because of illegal drug trade, and that's a conversation we can have about prolonging and extending the use of drugs by people who are addicted and unable to take action themselves. There are proven ways to help addicted persons, and I will disagree that this is a good way to do it, and we can have that conversation. Thank you.
Speeches on behalf of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson.
Thank you, Council President. This evening in the Southwest part of my district at Myers Recreation Center from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., we'll be hosting a Peace Not Guns town hall meeting to focus on what I Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 issue that we're addressing here in the City of Philadelphia, and that's the issue of gun violence. The number one murder of African American men between the ages of 18 and 34 is homicide by guns. And so we're not only going to talk, but we're going to establish a task force for the Southwest part of my district so they can work as a community. And we empower them to come up with their own strategies and solutions to reduce gun violence in Southwest Philadelphia. And, again, that's this evening, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. I'll be joined by my colleague Councilman Curtis Jones, and this is an initiative under Special Committee on Gun Violence, and I will encourage any of my other colleagues that want to join not only the discussion, but be a part of the strategy and plan to reduce gun violence, so you're more than welcome to attend. Thank you very much, Council Stated Meeting February 27, 2020
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.
Thank you, Council President. I'd like to speak briefly on the wage tax refund legislation that we unanimously voted today to adopt. I want to thank everyone. This bill will help 150,000 low-income Philadelphians and aid our city in combatting poverty that has plagued us for too long. I want to thank all my colleagues for their ongoing support. I especially want to thank you, Council President Clarke, and Councilmember Derek Green and Councilmember Maria Quinones-Sanchez who stood with me last month at the Finance Committee meeting, along with several community supporters, including CLS, Campaign for Working Families, Benefits Data Trust, and The Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 the reintroduction of this legislation. I also want to thank additional co-sponsors such as Councilmembers Johnson, Gauthier, Jones, Squilla, Oh, Thomas, Gilmore Richardson, Councilmember Bass and Parker. This bill will allow low-income residents to apply for a refund that would give them back the hard-earned wages they paid the City in taxes. It will allow a family of four earning an income of 34,000 to receive about $810 per year, and by 2024, it could be as much as 1,300. It will give immediate assistance to pay their bills, buy groceries, and help with the day-to-day financial burden they face. It's not a silver bullet to curing our city's poverty problem, but this is a necessary tool that we need to help fix a problem that's lasted far too long. It's time that we make our tax Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 a lot of work yet to do, and I look forward to working with all of you as we finally reduce poverty in Philadelphia. One other comment, I want to remind all my colleagues and staff to join me tomorrow from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 in the Caucus Room to learn about the latest policy solutions for opioid use disorder. The discussion and presentation is being held by the experts at the Pew Charitable Trust, and I look forward to seeing everyone there tomorrow. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Green.
Thank you, Council President. I want to remind my colleagues that we'll be having a lunch briefing immediately after Council with Mental Health Partnerships talking about Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 they do and how they can partner with members of City Council. I also want to bring members of Council -- I want to inform them regarding an issue I learned about. Council President, you also were supportive of this issue. Last Friday afternoon in the Mayor's Reception Room, I, along with State Senator Sharif Street, Senator Tony Williams, State Senator Tina Tartaglione, as well as members of the House of Representatives, State Representative Mary Isaacson, Representative Malcolm Kenyatta, Representative Danilo Burgos. We were also joined by Ryan Boyer, Business Manager for Laborers District Council, and also Mel Wells from One Day At A Time. The purpose of the press conference and the reason why I'm bringing attention, because this afternoon and this morning we've had a lot of conversations regarding the opioid Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 to address that issue. Last Thursday, Senator Street was in a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing and learned that at the state level, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under the leadership of Secretary Jennifer Smith is going to be adopting a regulatory change that going forward -- and we're still trying to get the exact date and time for when this will go into effect -- that if you are a program that deals with any type of addiction services, if you do not allow medically assisted treatment individuals into your program, you will be de-funded. Not only will you be de-funded, but de-listed, which when you think of organizations like One Day At A Time started by Mel Wells' father who have really received scraps in reference to dollars providing treatment during the crack cocaine epidemic, you think about Dr. Tommy Reid from Nu-Stop in Southwest Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Philadelphia, a number of programs around this city who have been really providing a resource for people who have been dealing with all kinds of addictions, from alcohol to drugs to opioid addictions, heroin addictions, and the fact that at the state level they are talking about removing funding, the little bit of funding that these organizations receive, if they do not accept medically assisted treatment individuals in their programs. I've had a chance to attend and visit a number of programs around the City of Philadelphia. In the recovery community, one size does not fit all. You have some organizations that focus strictly on abstinence. Others focus on medically assisted treatment. And for each individual that's going through some type of recovery, they have to find the path that works best for them. And the fact that at the state level they're even contemplating talking about removing Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 already do not get enough funding as it is if they don't accept medically assisted treatment individuals into their programs, it's just simply wrong. I know Senators Street, Williams, Tartaglione, as well as Representatives Isaacson, Kenyatta, and Burgos are talking with the Governor's Office to get this resolved. This would have a very major impact in the City of Philadelphia. These programs have done phenomenal work for decades, and for them to be forced to a closure just because they focus on abstinence -- and there needs to be all kinds of programs here in the City of Philadelphia, those who do need medical assisted treatment, but also there are programs that are needed for those who need abstinence, and we need not to have a one-size-fit-all model in the City of Philadelphia. And this is not just an issue for Philadelphia.
In my role as First Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Pennsylvania Municipal League, I will also be letting my colleagues know in other cities, like Harrisburg and Norristown and Erie and Scranton who are already dealing with these same issues. I look forward to this ongoing conversation and how we deal with these issues in our city, and I'm hopeful that our leaders in Harrisburg will resolve this issue. Thank you, Council President.
Thank you, Councilman. Thank you for bringing that to everyone's attention. The Chair recognizes Councilman Thomas.
Thank you, Council President. I just want to take a minute to thank my colleagues Councilmember Parker, Councilmember Gilmore Richardson, Councilmember Domb, Councilmember Brooks, Councilmember Squilla, Councilmember Johnson, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Quinones-Sanchez, as well as you, Council President, for joining me yesterday at the culmination of my Black History celebration. We have had a number of different initiatives, from the Black Business Crawl as well as recognizing those who create paths for heroes of tomorrow. The last thing that we've done is recognize those heroes of tomorrow. So joining us in Council -- and they've been here since 10 o'clock, so I commend them, and I have lunch for them -- are three young people who we actually have citations for that are heroes of tomorrow, and they're here with their family. So if they wouldn't mind standing, Ms. Aviannah Mitchell, Ms. Mikayla Newkirk, and Mr. Ramier Jones. Can you all just stand up, please. (Applause.)
All three young people participated in a phenomenal Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Luther King Day. They talked about how they can use their intellect and their oratorical skills to be the change that they want to see. So immediately after Council, I have their citations. Any of my colleagues who can take a couple minutes after Council to take a picture with us, we definitely appreciate it. Thank you, and thank you, young people, and thank you for your parents.
Congratulations. The Chair recognizes Councilman Squilla.
Thank you, Mr. President. I usually don't give speeches, but this week we found out about Safehouse going into a site, without any input from the community, and Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 my cool a little bit at a press conference. It's usually not my style, but understanding -(Applause.)
Thank you. Understanding that we represent both the people who are in addiction and the surrounding communities who are impacted by addiction, and it's a sad situation, it's a hard situation, but we have to stand up to protect both issues. And what happened this week is just outright wrong to be able to put something in the community without any input, whether you call it a medical emergency, whether you call it something that is necessary to save lives. We all want to save lives, and our goal is to save lives. To pit people against each other to say that people are against saving lives is just wrong, and what the Administration is doing here by selecting a site that is not only in an area that Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 center, a preschool in it -
-- two preschools, this is something that we need to address, because to have this -we can't have a billiards hall 500 feet from a daycare or school. We have a high school one block away. We can't have a tattoo parlor 500 feet from a school or a daycare, and yet we think it's okay to put a safe injection site in the same facility with the same building. And whether you support these safe injection sites or you don't, you have to be upset at the process, and we as a Council I think have to stand united. I want to thank my colleagues for reaching out and supporting that we believe a process has to be done, and we never have to get 50 percent support, 100 percent support to move these things forward. We have to make tough decisions, and that's why we're elected, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 have that decision and that conversation with these communities that these sites are going in. I'm very disappointed on how this played out. We, Councilmember Sanchez and myself, actually went on a trip with some of these folks and we thought we had a great rapport with them, working with them, talking with them, not that we agree with everything that they say or do, but we are willing to work with them and look for best practices, look for ways to help more people, give us more tools in the tool shed to help people who are addicted to opioids, and to do this was just wrong. And I want to say that we'll do whatever we can as a Council to help protect our citizens and help to protect the people who are in addiction, and we want to continue to work with all of the people to make sure we right this wrong. Thank you.
Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Quinones-Sanchez.
Thank you, Mr. President. I want to join in on Councilman Squilla and I know Councilman Kenyatta Johnson. We've done a lot of work over the last decade and definitely over the last three years as this opioid addiction has gotten out of control, and it's very concerning when we send competing messages or contradictory messages. On the one hand, we want to meet people where they are. We want to destigmatize this issue. We want to talk about -- well, some of us want to talk about the injustices about how this problem is dealt with when the majority of the folks affected were white versus when it was black and brown people, all of those nuances to this discussion. And the one thing I've always appreciated about Councilman Squilla is that he's always been open-minded, and we've Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 open-minded in this process. I was practicing crime reduction before it became the term. I took a needle exchange program that was in a van, put it in a building, worked with the community. We educated the community, we informed them, and we created a full-fledged clinic. We asked the community, we have a homeless addiction problem. We worked with the community. We had many meetings, and I can tell you some of those meetings were very difficult. Councilman Squilla and I sat there, we took it, we worked with folks, and the Administration promised the community that they were going to take care of all of the issues around the respite centers. All of the community has in one way or another in their families have experienced the issues around opioid addiction, having lost someone in their lives. And they told us, okay, okay, and we promised them we Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 care of them. All you have to do is go to Kensington and Allegheny to know that what was historically a poor community that has always had drug problems, but nothing, nothing like we've allowed to fester there. I'm really concerned when we start talking about best practices. Councilman Green talks about this move to medical assisted treatment and it being evidence-based best practices. I'm usually not a conspiracist, but the pharmaceutical industry created this problem. Now they spent millions of dollars on studies to tell us they can fix the problem, that we will now give them billions of dollars to, for the rest of their lives, have people on their medications to counter what they did when they addicted them in the first place. Folks, I'm usually -- and I said this 18 months ago in this Council. I knew this conversation around the safe Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 coming, and I said from day one, if this is a medical intervention, it has to be in a hospital. If this is a practice that this Administration wants to support, what made the needle exchange program successful -- and I've had this debate on radio with Governor Rendell -- you lead it, you own it, you accept liability. You don't do an arm's length and put a non-profit of very well-intentioned people that I have the highest respect for. Jose Benitez is my personal friend, and we have not always agreed on everything, but I've always listened. In the last six months, we've spent time in Kensington trying to get folks motivated around what we agree as we restore Kensington. We've had advocates on both sides of this talk to each other, listen to each other, and I feel like all of the ground we gained around understanding was blown up because one or two people decided I'd rather beg Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 for permission. This is disrespectful. It is disrespectful for an Administration that continuously talks about Trump and how the federal government is disrespectful and it has lost its humanity, and we do the same thing.
Whether it's the Northeast, whether it's South Philadelphia, whether it's Kensington, people deserve a process. They deserve to have every question answered. Will a pregnant woman be allowed to go in there? Will a minor be allowed to go in there? Will people be allowed to leave fully drugged and get in a car and drive away? People have the right to listen to those answers. They may not agree with us at the end. Councilman Squilla and I know most of the time, 80 percent of the time they don't agree, but we've respected them. We've respected their role in the community, and we have allowed them to ask those questions, and ultimately, again, focus Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 that we agree. I have been told I have blood on my hands. I've been told all of those things, and we've moved away from that discussion. We've moved to a discussion about in all of these services, methadone clinics -- I get tweeted that I'm the methadone queen because we have methadone clinics in our community that I have supported because 60 percent of the folks who visit it live in that community. So that is not someone coming from outside. That is your neighbor who is going for services. We need to be able to talk to our community about the reality of this is lifetime recovery for folks, right? But now we tell them you can't smoke in recovery. Now we tell them you have to take MAT. It's contradictory messages. And so over the next few weeks, everything that we've gained over the last few months has gotten blown up, and you're going to see divisions with a Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 extremely dangerous, when you have a President that we continually talk about who has divided this country. Be a leader. If Dr. Farley and Mayor Kenney want this, own it, lead it, fund it, accept responsibility. Do not use Safehouse and a board of private citizens, all who are very well-intentioned, take all of the responsibility for this. Do not say that it's an arm length relationship. That is not leadership, and that's not going to bring people together. It's going to create the kind of division that we've seen over the last 48 hours. People of Philadelphia deserve better. This work is going to take us years. We have a decade of restoration that we have to do in Kensington. This is not going to be successful. The run to be the first is also the run to be the worst. It is not going to help people in addiction and it is not Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 communities destigmatize a lifetime journey for folks who have a mental health disease. You have blown up all of the goodwill, all of the credibility of the stakeholders and the advocates on both sides of this aisle. I call on Safehouse, don't put yourself in the middle. Do not lose all of your credibility around AIDS work, needle exchange work, all that we've been part of, that I have been part of for 20 years, even before getting into Council, for the race for the first. The residents all over the City deserve better. If eventually this becomes a model that we want to adopt all over the City to take care of our residents, let it be one where there is a process and there is respect and humanity in the discussion. Thank you, Council President.
Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.
Thank you, Mr. President. I stand and join the concern that my colleagues have. This is not a Kensington or Frankford issue. It's not a North Philly or South Philly issue. It's a citywide issue. And they want 20 more sites. So we are cautious, concerned that without a process, we can wake up and it's decided for us and our constituents as to where these facilities will be housed. Do not make the mistake of thinking -- and I can speak for my colleagues -- that some of my best friends have been addicted. Some of my very best friends have succumbed to this drug. We in my district have a methadone clinic, which when the community at the time wanted to raise up and close it, I stood in the middle of Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 no, because these are our family members, loved ones, and friends that need this treatment. We went through a process, and I underline the word "process," to develop a good neighbor policy where you weren't going to loiter, you weren't going to just blow smoke in kids' faces that are walking down the street that we came up with, and it works. What we experienced the other day was not a process. It was put upon people. And when I say to you it's not just a Kensington, Frankford issue, we have in West Philly, Katherine Gilmore and I dealt with the issue of pill mills that were supposed to be drug stores. We have dealt with medical marijuana that is the one shoe to fall before legalization because the state and others preempt local decision-makers to be able to vet these things, and when you do that, you alienate not only the elected officials of the area but the community itself. Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 as important as the program. The process is as important as the program. And I know I can't speak for independent elected officials. We vary on this issue, but if you're a District Councilperson, you have to stand up for your district and you have to have a process that includes them. You'd be surprised how liberal some people can be, but you give them the choice to do that. You don't impose upon them. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker.
Thank you, Mr. President. Let me as well take this opportunity to say to Councilmembers Squilla, Johnson, and Quinones-Sanchez, you are, in essence, on the front line here as your districts have been immediately impacted and Councilman Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 proposed location going into your district. My message is for those residents in the City of Philadelphia who are looking at that 20 number that said 20 more. So I want to just state for the record that when you hear Councilman Jones and myself and other members who do not represent those specific areas but you hear us communicate as passionately as we would for the districts that we represent, we know that it is those neighborhoods today, but it could be our neighborhoods tomorrow, the respective districts represented by each District Councilmember. In addition to that -- and I've got to say this because many of my colleagues who were with us during the last term remember that I had just a tad bit of experience in knowing what it's like when you have to fight an issue like this, and I want to say to the residents who live in your district, Councilman Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 Johnson, don't you let anybody shame you or guilt you or say that you don't have any empathy for anyone suffering from the crisis relative to opioids that is impacting our city because you say not at this location and not in this neighborhood. Don't you do that. People are going to try to guilt your people. They're going to try to say that they don't have any compassion, they don't have any empathy, but when you are a homeowner and what is going there will have an impact not just on your quality of life but on the value of what could be your only asset, you have a right to speak and you have a right to have a role. So until we've developed -- and I know from a legal perspective, you, Councilman Squilla, Maria Quinones-Sanchez and Johnson, are working through that process, but I need to know because all of the District Councilpeople, with all due respect, who don't have the ability to walk away after Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 everything -all of the unintended consequences that come from a facility like this, we will be the individuals who people say we specifically pushed that button for you to make sure that you address these issues. And so you can't walk away when the cameras are off and other people get a chance to flex their progressive muscles, as I like to call them. I don't know if they're the little P's or the big P's. They may be the little P's when the cameras and social media got active. But nevertheless, you stay strong. We're going to stand with you. And to the about 15 residents in my district who called and said how many are being proposed for our area, we don't know. We're waiting on process, but we're going to use every vehicle that we have to stand up to make sure that the people of this city have a right to have their voices heard. Thank you very much, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020
Thank you, Councilwoman. Stay tuned. So real quick, I had an opportunity to serve here a long, long time in various capacities and watch members come and go, and the simple reality is is that there's always been some consistency in terms of the people who actually don't have their names on the doors like we do and don't necessarily have city cars and all that good stuff, but at the end of the day, without these people, we don't get to do what we do. We don't get to talk about the issues as we have done. Today I'd like to recognize all of us a person who is that person, a person that actually worked here longer than me, if you can believe that. And it's a bittersweet moment. We had the pleasure of having an opportunity to serve with her for not a lot of years, Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 been a class act ever since I've known her, from the 5th floor to the 4th floor. And, Denise, we just want to say on the occasion of -- I guess your last day is tomorrow and your ability to experience retirement, which every time I talk to somebody who has retired, it's like, yes, I love this. So hopefully you will be in a position to say the same thing. We'd just like to recognize you and ask you to stand up so we can give you a round of applause. (Standing ovation.)
Thank you so much. Denise has worked and made sure that that Chief Clerk's Office ran like the trains were on time every day, the clocks ticked. And, Denise, we just want to thank you. You've been awesome. We are still trying to figure out how in the world we're going to replace you, but I Stated Meeting February 27, 2020 to do what you got to do. But just thank you so much, and God bless you. We really appreciate you so much, Denise. Thank you. Thank you. (Applause.)
And with that, that concludes our speeches on behalf of the majority and the minority, and the Chair recognizes Councilman Jones for a motion to adjourn.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, March 5th, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. (Duly seconded.)
It's been moved and properly seconded that Council stand adjourned. All those in favor say aye. (Aye.)
