DECKER, CHIEF CLERK Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016

Good morning, everyone. We have a quorum. I'd ask the guests and visitors to please retire behind the rails and we will get started. To give our invocation this morning, the Chair recognizes Rabbi Abe Friedman of the Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel. He is here today as the guest of Councilman Allan Domb. I would ask all members and guests to please rise. (Members and guests rise.)

Mkur fun lebn, source of life, we thank you for the gift of this day and the opportunity to serve our community. We ask that you open our hearts to our neighbors in need, to the widow and the orphan, the stranger and the outcast. Bless us with compassion and strength. Help the work of our hands to grow and to flourish. Bless our city with health, Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 safety, and prosperity. Amen. (Amen.)

Thank you so very much, Rabbi. Appreciate it. Council will be at ease. (Council at ease.)

Thank you, Rabbi. The next order of business is the approval of the Journal of the meeting of Thursday, January 28th, 2016, and the Chair recognizes Councilman Greenlee.

Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair thanks the gentlewoman. And the Chair recognizes Councilman O'Neill.

Thank you, Mr. President. On behalf of the republicans, there are no requests for leave of absence. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016

Thank you. The Chair thanks the gentleman. At this time, I would like to dispense with the regular order of business and I would like to thank everyone who has taken time out of their day to come down and witness your government in action. We actually really appreciate seeing you every Thursday. We hope that you enjoy it so much today that you come back next Thursday. So, again, we really appreciate it, and thank you for coming down. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown, who will present a resolution honoring the African American Children's Book Project. Would Ms. Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati and those accompanying her please join the Councilwoman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.) Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016

And joining Councilwoman Reynolds Brown, we have Councilman Jones, Councilman Green, Councilwoman Quinones-Sanchez, Councilwoman Blackwell, and Councilman Johnson.

Thank you, Mr. President. One of my absolutely positively favorite experiences of every year is the African American Children's Book Project, this year celebrating its 24th anniversary, and I want to first applaud and salute the vision and what I call stick-to-itiveness in its leader, Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati, who every year mounts this initiative against great odds, but given her love for books and the supreme value they have in the lives of African American children, she makes it happen. I will also say that I look with envy and I'm often awestruck by the discipline of those who take pen to paper over a sustained period of time and Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 a work product. Please pay attention to the two books on your desk, compliments of Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati and the 24th Annual African American Children's Book Project, and we thank her publicly for that. A couple of facts. Of the entire population of the United States, 37 percent of people identify themselves as a person of color. However, of all the published children's books over the past 21 years, only 10 percent contain multicultural content. So this fact underscores the supreme value of African American children reading and looking and browsing through books where they have images that look like them. This morning, honoring the African American Children's Book Project on the occasion of the 24th African American Children's Book Fair and that February 6th is the kick-off of the National Literacy Initiative - Preserve a Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 Legacy, Buy a Book. Whereas, in 1926, noted historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the study of negro life and history announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week"; and Whereas, the 2nd week in February was chosen because of the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass; and

Whereas, during early American history, African Americans were not allowed to learn to read and have books; in some states the penalty for this infraction was death; and Whereas, the importance of book fairs cannot be understated and for twenty three years the African American Children's Book Fair has enhanced multi-culturalism in our City utilizing the joy of reading as a tool; and Whereas, Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati created the book fair because she Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 a world of opportunities for children and after twenty three years, the African American Children's Book Fair is the oldest and largest single-day event for children's books in the country; and

One of the most important reasons to encourage reading in our children is that studies show that the more our youth read, the more likely they are to make positive lifestyle decision as they grow older; and Whereas, strictly judging by attendance, this fair is a tremendous success as well over 3,500 people attended the fair in the past years; and Whereas, rich or poor, no one leaves empty handed as the books themselves are priced at a level where they are more affordable, and posters, bookmarkers, raffle books are distributed free of charge to attendees; and

Whereas, Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 participants will be Wade and Cheryl Hudson. The Hudsons were two parents on a desperate search for children's books that addressed Black history, Black heritage and Black experiences. Disappointed by the limited number and their unreliable availability, the couple embarked upon a mission to produce the kind of positive, vibrant Black-interest books that they wanted for their own two children; and Whereas, in 1988, the Hudsons started Just Us Books, Inc. With Wade serving as company president and head of marketing and Cheryl leading the editorial and art departments, Just Us Books, Inc. soon became a leading publisher of multicultural books for children, opening doors of opportunity for many authors and illustrators of color along the way; and

Whereas, the Hudsons' trailblazing efforts and contributions to children's literature Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 been recognized widely. They have received the Ida B. Wells Institutional Builders Award presented by the National Black Writers Conference, the Madame CJ Walker Legacy Award for entrepreneurship given by the Hurston Wright Foundation and the "Small Business Pioneer of the Year" distinction from Income Opportunities magazine, among others. The books they have published have enabled children of color everywhere to see characters who look like themselves in the books they read and explore stories that relate to their own experiences; and

Whereas, after 27 years Just Us Books is still one of only a handful of Black-known publishing companies in the nation and one of several exclusively dedicated to producing Black-interest and multicultural books for children and young adults; and Whereas, two additional Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 being champions of literacy in Philadelphia are Sharon Powell, Senior Director of Government and Regulatory Affairs for Comcast Corporation, and Tiffany Tavarez, Corporate Relations for PECO; and

Whereas, the fair is also lucky to host terrific sponsors and partners such as NBC10, PECO, Wells Fargo, iHeart Radio, Health Partners Foundation, Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown and Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, all whom have been instrumental in keeping the literary flames ablaze for our children in the City of Philadelphia through tireless contributions to the African American Children's Book Project. The financial contributions have enabled the book fair to give away thousands of brand new books of guest authors and illustrators participating in the event. For many children, it is the first time they owned a book; and Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016

Whereas, the 24th Annual African American Book Fair will be held free of charge on Saturday, February the 6th from one to three p.m. at the gymnasium of the Community College of Philadelphia located at 17th and Spring Garden Streets; now, therefore, be it Resolved, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia, that we hereby honor the African American Children's Book Project on the occasion of the 24th Annual African American Children's Book Fair and that February 6th is the kick-off of the National Literacy Initiative - Preserve a Legacy, Buy a Book.

And further resolved, that an engrossed copy of this citation be presented to representatives of the African American Children's Book Project, Wade and Cheryl Hudson, Sharon Powell, and Tiffany Tavarez for their hard work and efforts in the promotion of Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 literacy, as evidence of the sincere sentiments of this legislative body. (Applause.)

And the Chair recognizes Ms. Sgambati for remarks.

Thank you so very, very much. You know, every time I come into Chambers, I'm overwhelmed, because when I'm surrounded by all of these people who can read, but I know most of them from when they got their start. And reading is power. And I can't impress upon you what this book fair means to our children. Last year a young woman came up to me and she said, Here's a book I got from the NBC10-Telemundo Reading Circle ten years ago, and she said, We were homeless, but every year we came to this book fair. She said, This was the only thing I owned. She said, I'm in college now and I have a daughter and a husband. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 I can't impress upon you -- Councilman Kenyatta Johnson said to me -- he called me up in December. He was in the bookstore looking for books for his son, and he said, There's no books here. We live in a city that's over 40 percent African American, African American children's books, but we live in a city that's over 40 percent some odd numbers of African American. This should not be happening. And unfortunately I did not follow the proper protocol. I have to acknowledge Councilman Clarke, President Clarke, members of Council and you, our guests. But these people just overwhelm me. And I want to thank Wade and Cheryl Hudson, because they are the stars of the children's book world, being able to produce the wonderful books that they do. But it is the corporate partners that allow me also to give away brand new books to educators. An educator can walk Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 over five books, almost worth $100, because of the corporate partnerships that I've arranged. And people like PECO, you'll meet Tiffany Tavarez later and Ramona Riscoe, who is here also, who really got this ball started, and Mellanie Lassiter, Wells Fargo, Health Partners Plans, Health Partners Foundation, Always Best Care, Kenyatta Johnson, and Jannie Blackwell. She wasn't mentioned in the citation, but Jannie comes every year. I'm getting familiar, but Jannie is here every year. She came on board as a sponsor, which enabled us to do more things. And also Tierney and Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco. Before she left these halls, she had sent me a check for the Children's Book Fair. So I'm really grateful for all of that. I encourage you to come. And new members of Council, trust me, trust me. This is an event you need to support. You need to come out, and you'll meet a constituency that's not Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 and on television. Those little boys come in there because they want to learn. Those parents come in there because they want to give to their children a better world. So I thank you very much for your time, and I'll pass the ball over to Wade and Cheryl Hudson.

Good morning and thank you so much for this great honor. Wade and I have been in the trenches with children's books really for 40 years, but our company is 28 years old this year, and we are in the business of providing great books for all children, but African American children are the centers and stars of our books. So thank you so much for this great honor.

And I would just like to ask us to give a round of applause for the hard work and dedication of Vanesse. (Applause.)

Vanesse is not Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 She is walking the walk, and we thank her and we look forward to participating in this very important book festival every year. We thank you, and God bless all of you. (Applause.)

Good morning. I'm Sharon Powell, Senior Director for Comcast. I want to thank Vanesse for the extraordinary work that she and her team do throughout the year and every year. I am proud and honored to be a part of promoting literacy and digital literacy in our communities through Comcast Internet Essentials. I especially want to thank Charisse Lillie and Kathleen Sullivan for their ongoing support and all members of Council, and we hope to see you this Saturday. Thank you. (Applause.)

I warned Vanesse that if this included access to a Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 microphone, this may take a minute. So first and foremost, the work that I do cannot be done alone. That requires a team, and a solid team at that. So I'd like to thank the PECO Corporate Relations team, which is represented today here by Ramona Riscoe Benson and Michele Garrity, and of course the force of nature that is known as Vanesse Lloyd-Sgambati and of course Council today. When I looked up the word "literacy," it meant the ability to read and write and the possession of education, and I am really honored and humbled to be deemed a champion of that. My mother did not raise no fool. Now I have proof that she did raise a champion. Thank you.

Thank you. Council will be at ease. (Council at ease.)

Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 The next order of business is communications. The Chair requests that the Sergeant-of-Arms delivers the messages from the Mayor to the Chief Clerk. SERGEANT-OF-ARMS: There is no communications from the Mayor this morning.

Thank you, Councilman. Before considering these bills and resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar today, we will have our public comment session. The public comment session will go as follows: If you are interested in testifying on a bill or resolution that is on the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar today, if you have not already done so, I'd ask that you sign up at the table to my left. When your name is called, you will go to the podium in the middle of the Council Chambers. 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 be given 30 seconds to conclude your remarks. When the light turns red, we'd ask that you please adhere to the guidelines and conclude your remarks. You will be given three Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 minutes to testify on the bill or the resolution. Mr. Decker, please call the first name.

Joe Danihel, commenting on 160079. (Witness approached podium.)

Thank you. Good morning.

Well, if it was a good morning, then somebody would have contacted me. How many months have I got to come to this body and ask to see you respond to stealing my house? At this time, I am without my home at 1038 West Wyoming due to the egregious actions and inactions of this legislative body. Recently you passed a resolution to not marginalize Muslims by giving them public acknowledgment of their holiday. I feel marginalized. James Dupree felt marginalized. Dr. Turner felt marginalized. So many Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 others felt marginalized, but failed to come forward and speak. How can you not feel marginalized when all you've worked for has been stripped from you and given to another? This is a clear violation of 42 USC 1982, which I've read in previous meetings, and the U.S. Constitution. Philadelphia should hang its head. I, like Dr. Turner and James Dupree, fight for those who cannot. You as agencies and agents are bound by an oath of office to obey, defend, and support the Constitution. Like in Flint, Michigan, this government stalls while the people suffer. Council passes paperwork regarding national issues for which they have no jurisdiction while ignoring this issue. As in the words of Eleanor Roosevelt on December 7th, 1941, I am one of the free and incomparable people of the United States of America, even though my enemies are not foreign but domestic. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 These articles and previous submissions require immediate de-funding and investigation of the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority before more laws as in above and previously mentioned are violated by you, the agents and agencies of the government, and are now duly notified since December 3rd, 2015. You are, in this member of the people's opinion, accessories after the fact. I quote Walter Williams. "No matter how worthy the cause, it is robbery, theft, and injustice to confiscate the property of one person and give it to another to whom it doesn't belong." You have taken an oath to support, obey, and defend the Constitution and the laws. Now let's get to work. This government is required by law to make me whole and pay this bill. I look forward to somebody finally addressing this issue.

Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 Thank you for your testimony, sir.

Tiffany Green, commenting on 160083. (Witness approached podium.)

Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning, City Council. It's been a long time since I've seen many of you. However, I want to speak to this Bill 160083. According to many reports, Philadelphia has one of the highest poverty rates in the country. This is a stain on Philadelphia, because for the past four years, many other bills, the zoning bills that have been passed, have been giving preferential treatment to developers. And we talk about -- we've come down here time and time since 2012 to talk about the gentrification and, like this gentleman here, feel like it's being disregarded. Well, gentrification, let's Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 talk about that, because the reality is that gentrification is an intentional attack on low-income and minority communities for removal. And the problem is is that our City properties are constantly being sold to developers without any kind of accountability, without anything in place to state that they need to build low affordable. But what I want to do today is, I want to put in some new terminology towards this land banking, which is low-wage, low affordable housing, because there are certain terms being concocted in certain offices regarding workforce development, workforce development housing, which is right now $200,000, according to certain officials. Well, at this time, we had the 1300 block of Bouvier sold 16 houses. Eight went towards workforce development; the other went high end, $500,000 and $200,000 on the other end. That is not going to help a city who has one of the highest poverty Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 rates. Yet, at the same time, we don't seem to be getting what we need to sustain our communities. We have blocks that used to be full of people of color. Now you go back months later and they're not there anymore. These people are being pushed out, and it's not being addressed. We're asking the new City Council members and this new class with a new attitude and a new focus on addressing the highest poverty rate in the country. That is embarrassing. Really it is embarrassing. And if I was a City Council person or elected, I would feel really embarrassed that this is on us, higher than New York and in California. That means something is wrong in Denmark, and that means that you need to address this issue now. Regarding these properties, you're going to vote on the properties that have three pages of properties. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 We're asking that -- right now Point Breeze has not received the 300 affordable housing that was promised to us by Council President on radio. And the thing about it is, we want these properties addressed for low wage. Low wage mean less than between $8 and $15 an hour. Okay? Because at this particular point, companies don't even want to -you have people working at the airport who are not even getting paid a little bit more than minimum wage. How are you going -- you're looking to pay. You can't even find apartments for $650 now. We need to address the poverty rate in Philadelphia. We can't say we're going to be the healthiest city, we're going to be the most sustainable city, and yet we have the highest poverty rate in the country? There's something wrong with this. This is not a popular fight. Otherwise I would be standing up there taking pictures with you all, but I'm not Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 about popularity. I'm about helping the poor and maintaining our communities, particularly our African American community. We want these properties addressed for low wage, low affordable. If you want to follow New York, well, the new term in New York is low-wage housing. We want this low-wage housing, and we're asking that even though it's going to go through the process, we don't want to play games, we don't want no word games or anything.

We want these three pages of houses to be designated for low-wage housing, because as of now, we got less than 25 low-wage housing in the last four years and we sold over 100, between 100 and 200 City-owned properties in Philadelphia.

Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Green.

There are no other speakers on the public comment list, Mr. President.

And a resolution authorizing Council's Committee on Labor and Civil Service to convene public hearings examining the state of retirement security for private and public sector workers in the City of Philadelphia, introduced by Councilwoman Parker.

The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker.

Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, before I move for the adoption of the resolution, I just wanted to note for the record that soon after the November General Election, I received a congratulatory call from a friend. And after he got through his niceties, he asked me, with the issue of economic growth and neighborhood stabilization in mind, if I had obtained any income demographic research, specifically about the people who make up this new 9th Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 2/4/16 - STATED - 2ND READING District constituency that I was about to serve. And then we started talking about the state of retirement security for residents in the district, and he began asking me a number of questions. He asked me if I knew the number of residents who were currently of retirement age, the rate at which others were quickly approaching retirement age. And of those, Mr. President, he wanted to know how many were homeowners. And of those homeowners, how many depended on Social Security as their only income stream, how many of them had access to assured monthly income, what we know as a guaranteed retirement pension versus some other form of retirement savings, or how many of them were even fortunate enough to have both Social Security and some form of a supplemental retirement income. As the conversation continued, he wanted to know if I had received a detailed account of how many of these residents worked in both the private and Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 2/4/16 - STATED - 2ND READING the public sector. And of the private-sector industries that are demonstrating the most growth in the City of Philadelphia, how many of them offered some form of retirement benefits to employees. Well, when I realized that I did not have the answers to these very basic questions about this constituency I was about to serve and that it was very possible that quite a few of them were already or would soon be facing a precarious financial future, it was then that I decided that an informational fact-finding hearing regarding the state of retirement security could help inform our decision-making, and not only for the benefit of the 9th District but for the City as a whole. Now, while I had hoped, Mr. President, that we would have been one of the leading cities to begin studying this issue, but unfortunately the Big Apple beat us to the punch. " So while we, like every city and state in this nation, are grappling with the challenge of coming up with realtime solutions to address the fiscal realities regarding our municipal pension fund -- and I want to thank Mayor Kenney for the record for taking the lead in fostering a spirit of a collaborative approach in the development of potential remedies to address this issue -- I also think that it is equally important that we have some sense of the overall state of retirement security for both the private and public-sector workers in our city. So it is my hope that this Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 2/4/16 - STATED - 2ND READING public hearing will add value to the conversation by serving as a data-gathering vehicle to, one, explore the broad range of ideas aimed at ensuring retirement security for the benefit of all of Philadelphia's workforce, both private and public, and to identify innovative and successful tools for creating financial security for retirees from a survey of research findings regarding the efficacy of national, state, and regional policy options already tested and those being explored around the nation. And it's with this spirit in mind, Mr. President, that I ask for an affirmative vote. )

Thank you. It has been moved and properly seconded. All those in favor? (Aye.)

Those opposed? Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 2/4/16 - STATED - 2ND READING (No response.)

The ayes have it, and that resolution is enthusiastically adopted.

And a resolution recognizing the talents of Kathleen "Kat" Webb for her winning submission marketing "meterUP" for the City of Philadelphia and for the Philadelphia Parking Authority, introduced by Councilman Taubenberger.

The Chair recognizes Councilman Taubenberger.

Thank you, Mr. President. I think it's a great thing when an authority that works for the City of Philadelphia comes up with the most modern technology to be able to pay your parking meter by telephone and by cell phone, but what is really special about this is when you have an employee who comes up with a marketing idea of calling it meterUP. And that should be acknowledged, and that was what I do with Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 2/4/16 - STATED - 2ND READING that resolution and, Mr. President, I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)

Thank you. It's been moved and properly seconded. All those in favor? (Aye.)

Those opposed? (No response.)

The ayes have it, and that resolution is adopted.

And a resolution authorizing a joint public hearing between Council's Committee on Streets and Services and Committee on Education to investigate the allocation of funds from the revenues generated by the Red Light Camera Enforcement Program and the parking meter rate increase that took effect in 2014, as well as the costs associated with administering those Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 2/4/16 - STATED - 2ND READING programs, introduced by Councilman Oh.

There are no other resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar, Mr. President.

Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. Are there any speeches on the part of the minority? And the Chair recognizes Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016

Thank you very much, Council President. I'd like to note that this Chamber is quiet today. It's quiet because Councilman Squilla exercised great leadership and reasonableness in meeting with the leaders of the music industry. And in speaking with them, you know, he heard them and he acted in a democratic process, and today shows how much they believe in his sincerity and they understand that he's trying to do a good thing and they understand that he will continue forward but with their input, and I'd like to really express to him my admiration. A lot of politicians would dig their heels in. He certainly didn't do that, and as a result, our city is labeled a pro music city, a city of the creative economy. So thank you, Councilman Squilla.

Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 you, Councilman. Speeches on the part of the majority? And the Chair recognizes Councilman Henon.

Thank you, Council President. I just wanted to make a comment on a resolution that Councilwoman Helen Gym has introduced today along with yourself, Curtis Jones, Quinones-Sanchez, Blackwell, and Derek Green. There's kind of a cause and effect that happens with the quality of life in our neighborhoods because of the irresponsible social injustice that comes along with hedge funds and the banks in our neighborhoods and there's an effect that we're left with. And I think about all the hard work and the passion and admission that former Councilwoman Tasco put into predatory lending and these practices that created the mortgage crisis that we have here. So I want to Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 look at that as a Council and taking a look at it in depth, because the sale of these distressed mortgages are extremely concerning. The social injustice, the adverse impact that they have in our neighborhoods, and when these mortgages are sold, people fail to realize that these homeowners, not only are they forced out, that the communities are not only losing neighbors, they're losing friends, they're losing family members, but it ends up with a vacant house that also goes often unmaintained. And then the sale of these distressed mortgages breeds blight, the possibility of crime, and it lowers the property values. And we have all the data that supports property maintenance violations and all of the other violations that decreases the property value near 20 percent in our neighborhood, and that is the start of the window theory, the broken window theory, where it just brings everything else down and it Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 our neighborhood. So if you think about what an investment property looks like, most of the banks and the hedge funds who are the investment owners, they don't live near the property, and when it remains vacant, here's what happens: the weeds grow, the yards get unkept, people dump things, the roof caves in, the windows are broke, and the storms cause all kinds of other property maintenance violations with sewage pipes and the pavements. So they don't maintain the properties. And I have held hearings, along with this Council body, several times in the past dealing with bad investors, bad neighbors, bad actors when it comes to absentee landlords, and I plan on doing the same, and I think this is a perfect opportunity to talk about the effect that it has on the social injustice of the cause on what we're left with in our neighborhood. And I think it's time that we continue to look deeper into this and Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 neighborhoods. So I'll be holding hearings, joint hearings with Public Safety and L&I as we had done before, subpoenaing landlords, subpoenaing property managers, subpoenaing banks in foreclosures on the unsold properties, unkept properties, especially now in light of this with the great work I think this Council is going to do with the concerns that we have here on the predatory lending and mortgage crisis that we have, so nobody else who doesn't live in our neighborhood and doesn't live in the City of Philadelphia should dictate when and how our neighborhoods are kept. So I applaud all the Councilmembers and sponsor of this bill in looking at this deeper. Thank you.

Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Gym. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016

Thank you very much, Council President Clarke, and thank you very much my colleague, Bobby Henon, for framing up the issue. I especially want to thank all my colleagues on Council, my co-sponsors and those who signed on to this bill to support today's resolution that talks about how we are going to craft a message to our federal housing agencies to change the way they restructure the sale of distressed mortgage notes. Today, across the country locally elected officials and community organizations are calling upon all of our federal housing agencies to end this process of mass auctions for distressed mortgages to Wall Street speculators and instead to prioritize the bulk sale of delinquent mortgage pools to local non-profit housing agencies. Since 2012, the federal agencies - HUD, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac - have auctioned off nearly 200,000 Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 90 percent of these mortgages have been sold to hedge funds and private-equity firms. A national investigation by the New York Times revealed that a shocking number of these resales move quickly into foreclosure and then are snapped up by developers. In January, Fannie Mae announced that it will conduct its largest sale yet of thousands of delinquent mortgages that will take place in the coming weeks. This is why I am proud to be part of Philadelphia City Council, which is pushing back against such practices and standing up for the public interest. We are not going to be alone. Last September, I joined Senator Elizabeth Warren and municipal officials across the country to demand an end to this practice and uphold our Council's responsibility to preserve homeownership and create more affordable housing. We Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 at our hands. We have CDFIs, community development financial institutions, which could buy these delinquent mortgages and work to save homes from foreclosure. Their best practice involves involving our own municipal Land Bank that are preferable to mass auctions to Wall Street agencies. We should know when these auctions are moving in our city and make sure that federal agencies sit down with local government bodies to pursue alternatives that get these mortgages into the hands of mission-driven non-profits or into our Land Bank. And given the timing, we especially want Fannie Mae to talk with our city and our non-profit partners before selling off one more troubled mortgage to another outside speculator. I'm proud to do this also as a board member of Local Progress, an organization of passionate and progressive municipal officials and an organization, not surprisingly, founded Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 brilliant, passionate, and forward-thinking colleague Wilson Goode, Jr. In the coming weeks, our office will be working closely with the Council President's office, all of you, and the broader public to craft a letter to HUD, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae that outlines our concerns and helps figure out a local solution that protects our families and rebuilds our communities. I see this as a partnership among all of us, and our office is always open to discussing this issue with you, with the broader public, and I look forward to it. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson.

Thank you, Council President. I want to first and foremost thank you for appointing me to Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 Councilman Curtis Jones and several other members of the law enforcement/criminal justice community on the newly established Special Committee on Criminal Justice Reform. Similarly, to complement your efforts, I introduced today a bill seeking a Charter change to establish a Commission on Youth Gun Violence. This issue has always been a passion of mine, and earlier this week I had to visit a friend that I've grown up with whose son was murdered in the streets of Philadelphia, which has become all too often the norm, a young man shot more than 30 times, and, you know, this has been a similar act of senseless gun violence that has taken place on a regular basis day in and day out. And so my sole focus and effort is to begin collaborating and working in partnership with our Councilmembers, the new Administration to make sure that we Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 issue is the number one issue that we're addressing, specifically as it relates to saving our young people, because at the end of the day, we're never going to move forward as a progressive city if the City isn't safe. My son won't grow up in a neighborhood free from violence if we don't make sure that this is the number one priority. Young people should never have to walk outside fearing that they may be robbed, shot or dodging bullets. And so I look forward in making sure that we engage on this issue from a variety of different public and private partnerships but, most importantly, listening to the community. And so I just want to thank you again for the appointment, and I look forward in making sure that we make this commission one that will really change the face of how we approach youth gun violence, specifically the issue of youth gun violence, and how it has an impact on our Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 Similarly, I called for hearings today on the issue of youth employment. I know oftentimes we get calls before the summer even arrives, in April, from our constituents asking for opportunities for young people for gainful employment throughout the summer, but also as a way and mean to help our young people get off the corner. So I do look forward in finding ways, creative ways, and I'm going to actually seek the partnership and work in conjunction and put her on the spot, Councilwoman Cherelle Parker, because I remember when I served in the State House with her, I would go up to Ogontz Avenue and participate in probably one of the biggest youth employment fairs that the City of Philadelphia has actually seen. And so I believe that those type of initiatives can be duplicated citywide if we work in partnership with the Administration but, most importantly, the Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 sector, making sure that organizations such as the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, PIDC, they put some level of skin in the game. How can we have the greatest city when it comes to eds and meds, but we don't have a pipeline, a school-to-career pipeline, with our young people? We don't do PILOTs, so there should be some level of giveback as it relates to providing young people an opportunity to participate in our workforce. So I just want to thank all my colleagues for affirmatively voting particularly on that resolution and look forward to getting to work on those two key issues. Thank you very much and take care, Council President.

Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.

Thank you, Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 rise to recognize the fact that February is Black History Month. Carter G. Woodson established it. At first it was only a week, and then society was generous enough to give us a month. Names like Martin Luther King, President Nelson Mandela, soon former President Obama will all be a part of future celebrations in classrooms and workplaces to honor their contribution internationally and locally. There will be stamps, they will be on calendars, they will be part of plays and processions and movies. But the way, when you think about it, how they got to be on stamps is by putting in the work every day. And I bring that here locally today, that people who testified today, some of them did not testify today, have real life issues that in our processes as we do hearings, as we change laws, as we impact budgets, whether through the Criminal Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 you put together that I'm proud to be a part of or through the legislation that was introduced by Councilwoman Gym and what we are going to do next week dealing with locally the Sheriff's Department, the service of official documents to take a look at from a hearing we did a while ago, the way we get on -- and I never want to be on a mural ever, but the way that you earn your way on that Black History Month calendar is to put in the work on tough issues every day. And I'm really encouraged by my colleagues, and I got excited about the retirement thing that you're talking about, because I'm closer to that than graduation. You know what I mean? So it's real. It's real out there. But those kinds of issues are what your leadership and this body puts in every day. And we sometimes aren't on the same timetable as people who have a sense of urgency, particularly when you're facing losing your home and Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 homelessness, but it is a process by which you make long-term change, sustainable change. You have to find resources through a budget, when we talked about it today. You can't just say I want criminal justice to change. Somebody said in this Chamber once, yeah, we want to do good, but we doggone sure better know how much "good" costs. And as we go through those processes, we just hope that our constituents can hold on just a little longer while we try to make a real difference for all of you. That's how you make history, Mr. President.

Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown.

Thank you, Mr. President. For the record, I'd like to remind my colleagues that annually we celebrate African American History Month Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 save the date of Thursday, February 25th, we will again have a very culturally rich experience. My remarks go to the universal pre-K, and I'm following this issue closely because you may recall, Mr. President, that then-Councilman Clarke urged me to negotiate with Councilman Brian O'Neill on my very first bill here, which was a zoning bill for child care. And that bill has actually been attempted by former Councilman John White and dearly beloved Happy Fernandez, but after reading the testimony of a decade before me, we were ultimately successful in winning and gaining a win-win scenario with my very first child care bill. So this afternoon I'm speaking now about the implementation of the universal pre-kindergarten program we're all anticipating here in the City of Philadelphia. As Vice Chair of Council's Committee on Education, I was proud to Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 and several members of City Council earlier this week where the Commission on Universal Pre-K formally released its draft -- and the operative word here is "draft" -- report to the Kenney Administration and to our legislative body. I want to salute the chairs of that Commission, Sharon Easterling and Dr. Loretta Sweet Jammott, for lending their brilliant expertise, time, and sacrifice on this matter. And the record should reflect that it was Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell who initially introduced this legislation last year so that we can closely examine this issue. It is a fact that early childhood education is indeed one puzzle required to end the cycle of poverty in Philadelphia, and what we know in the words of Victor Hugo is that he who opens a school door closes a prison. He who opens a school door closes a prison. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 of data that backs up in fact that research; that is, early childhood education is a proven way to break the prison pipeline. It's a fact also that 44 of 50 states in the United States already have universal pre-K. 44 out of 50. So Philadelphia is poised to get in line and make it real for the citizens of our city. As we go down this road to implement universal pre-K, there are a couple of important issues that were raised this week that need to be underscored, put in capital letters, and bold print. It is crucial that we increase and maximize community engagement at every step along the way. Anything less than complete community engagement across all neighborhoods in this city is unacceptable. I want to thank Councilmembers Maria Quinones-Sanchez and Helen Gym who raised probing questions about ensuring a Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 And I want to thank Councilmembers Domb, Taubenberger, and Squilla for raising those preliminary questions around budget and funding. Community engagement is the concern. Making sure that there are no winners -- forgive me. Making sure that there are no losers in this process is what is percolating around whispers on this issue. So we're asking the Administration, as they've already started, to work closely with us, to be proactive with members of Council as we frame out a universal pre-K, because, yes, it is a complex issue and, yes, there are a lot of stakeholders. In closing, we want everyone at the table early. We're asking Councilmembers to respond to that draft document. And I'll close where I started, in that he who opens a school door closes a prison. We want to make Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 we want to make sure that it is equitable in the distribution of those funds across this city.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.

Thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to acknowledge and thank Councilwoman Parker for putting forth today's resolution, which I was proud to co-sponsor, to call for hearings on the state of retirement security in our city. There's no question that retirement security is an issue that requires the attention of this honorable legislative body, and the City's workforce and taxpayers deserve our attention. And while I look forward to the potential hearings that will examine the issue for both the private and public Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 sectors, for the moment I'd like to focus on the City of Philadelphia. Philadelphia is approximately 45 to 46 percent funded, with an unfunded liability of over $5.7 billion and the last two to three months has grown another 200 to 250 million due to the unstable equity markets. It's probably close to $6 billion. Rob Dubow, our Finance Director, pointed out to me that the majority portion of our serious problem dates back to 1967 to 1987. 5.1 billion is attributed to that period. Actually since 1987, the City has done a pretty good job overall, but we're paying for what happened from '67 to '87. We spend approximately 16 percent of our $4 billion budget - 640 million on pensions, 450 to 460 on the old problems. Each year this share increases, along with contractual obligations. All this means is less money for what otherwise we could do as a Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 services, for education, classrooms, health and well-being of our citizens. The list goes on. But until we fix this elephant in the room, the pension, we'll never have the money. In September 2015, Moody's Investors Service issued a report that stated if Philadelphia fails to fund the pension plan on a sound basis moving forward, our bond ratings may go down. What does this mean? Higher interest costs, less appealing in the marketplace. We must do what it takes and make this as a major priority. Even if it may not seem popular in the moment, we must lead and think long term even when it requires short-term sacrifice. We must strengthen our municipal pension system that will lead to a stronger city in the future for our children and our grandchildren. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, Councilman. I think we all concur. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 Quinones-Sanchez.

Thank you, Mr. President. And staying with the theme of the African American month and celebration, I want to paraphrase Malcolm X when he said that the best anti-poverty strategy was education. And education was about preparing for our future. A few weeks ago, Council President, you honored Community College of Philadelphia for their role in the City of Philadelphia and the vital role that they need to play as we re-train and provide opportunities for our returning citizens and for the changing economy. They are not only the host of the African American book sale this week, and I encourage all of my Council colleagues, particularly the new ones, to go to the fair, and while you're there, join me as Community College of Philadelphia hosts a Latino College Day with stakeholders throughout the City of Philadelphia. Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 opportunities are vital as we prepare for the future. As we talk about pre-K, public education, the K to 16 continuum, Community College is a key strategic partner in doing that, as we talk about pre-K and the workforce opportunities that it creates in training many women who look like me and in an industry so vitally important. So I want to invite all of you, come to Community College. You can do the Latino College Day. You can do the African American book fair, and my colleagues can learn about the valuable work that we still need to do around educating our young folks and cutting that pipeline to jail. Thank you.

Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.

Thank Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 you, Mr. President. Let me acknowledge all that has been said about Black History Month, and maybe our young people would do better in school if they felt that the academic agenda was inclusive. It still isn't after all this time. We're still not there. And with regard to universal pre-K, we are excited about that and we want to make sure there that whatever happens, that all monies and programs are meted out equally. And we're concerned because I'm worried about us spending money on programs that do not hit all children or that are especially programs and private programs that we fund. That's a big issue we need to look at. And I want to also commend the Governor on holding up these Keystone Exams. We know our children can't pass them and graduate from school. So I'm glad he postponed that and is studying that issue. I still say anybody who does any job or has any focus for 12 years Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 It is only in our kids, not only our children because I know it exists across this country too, but it's unconscionable that after 12 years our children can't read, write, and count. It means that we are failing, not them. So we have a lot to look at. They tell me that, going back to universal pre-K, they want to look in the district and see programs that don't work, cut them out, and deal with other interesting ways for funding. And that's one of the reasons that we're going to have hearings somehow between now and June to talk about fairness and equity and equality when it comes to education and programs. So this will be an important year. We realize education is real important. As I've said even with regard to community schools, which is a big focus, some people would just like to have clean schools and toilet paper in Stated Meeting Invocation February 4, 2016 chance to get something that looks like other schools in other neighborhoods.
