The Chair thanks the Councilwoman. Our next order of business is communications. And, Mr. Decker, would you please read the messages from the Mayor and any other communications that you may have in your possession.
From the Mayor to the President and members of the Council of the City of Philadelphia, I am pleased to advise you that on April 28, 2021, I signed the following bill which was passed by Council at its session on April 15, 2021: Bill No. 210078-A, and that on April 28, 2021, I signed the following bills which were passed by Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 on April 22, 2021: Bill Nos. 200625 and 210226. And I am transmitting for the consideration of your honorable body a resolution authorizing the Philadelphia Land Bank to dispose of 2013 East Hazzard Street located in the 1st Councilmanic District; and A resolution authorizing the Philadelphia Land Bank to dispose of 5559 Locust Street located in the 3rd Councilmanic District; and A resolution authorizing the Philadelphia Land Bank to dispose of 19, 21, 23, 25, 27 East Somerset, 3022, 3024, 3026, 3028 North American Street, 2907 Gransback Street, 413 West Norris Street, 419 West Norris Street, 2552 North Randolph Street, located in the 7th Councilmanic District, all under certain terms and conditions.
Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. That concludes our Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 communications, and our next order of business is the introduction of bills and resolutions. And by way of a reminder, we are asking that all resolutions, including privileged resolutions, be placed on the Final Passage Calendar for the next session of Council, unless they are being referred to committee. In our current remote environment, this procedure will provide an opportunity for public comment. I want to thank you very much for your anticipated cooperation. Mr. Decker, would you please read the titles of the legislation that is being offered today by our members.
Yes, Mr. President. Councilwoman Parker offers two resolutions, entitled a "Resolution urging the United States House of Representatives to pass House Resolution 2553, also known as the Real Estate Valuation Fairness and Improvement Act of 2021." Stated Meeting April 29, 2021
And a resolution calling on the Sheriff of the City of Philadelphia to request an Order from the President Judge of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas of the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania to temporarily stay all mortgage and tax foreclosure sales.
Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, on today, as the viewing public just heard, I'm introducing two resolutions, and the first one, Mr. President, urges the United States House of Representatives to pass HR 2553. It's also known as the Real Estate Valuation Fairness and Improvement Act of 2021. I want to note for the record that this resolution is a direct result Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 of Monday's hearing in the Committee on Housing, Neighborhood Development and the Homeless, which is chaired by Councilmember Gauthier, and we examined the race gap in home appraisals and its impact on homeownership and wealth accumulation in Philadelphia. We want to note that this resolution is clearly just the first step that came out of this hearing as it relates to our action agenda. The next step will be more substantive in that we will create a workgroup that will consist of both local, state, and national experts and stakeholders to work on this issue and proffer solutions. I also want to say that I was glad to see that our Metro in our area, I want to give a shout-out to Jack Tomczuk for his writing a thorough sort of article and just giving it the coverage that this issue deserves, because it hasn't been a sexy one that has gained the attention of many journalists. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 Second, Mr. President, I am introducing a resolution calling on the Sheriff of the City of Philadelphia to request an order from the President Judge of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas of the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania to temporarily stay all mortgage and tax foreclosure sales. Despite the correspondence that 14 members of our legislative body received this morning noting that the Sheriff is delaying for 60 days sheriff sales, this resolution is still very much needed. This resolution is a direct result of last Thursday's marathon hearing in the Law and Government Committee, which examined the decision to move the sheriff sales online and to explore the ramifications of and any unintended consequences that may arise from this decision. Now, Mr. President, I need to say a special thank you to the more than Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 two dozen individuals who provided spoken and/or written testimony during what was a six-hour hearing. We heard testimony from people across the City and across the country who had concerns about using this out-of-state online auction company, Bid4Assets, to conduct sheriff sales and the implications that this may have on opening up our city to even more bulk buyers and speculators anywhere in the world, allowing them to actually purchase parcels and properties in our city without ever having to step foot within the City limits. Now, I want to state for the record that during the hearing, we also heard from very seasoned legal aid organizations that federal help is on the way, and when they noted that, they mentioned that millions of dollars, Mr. President, will be coming in the next few months to Philadelphia to homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgage payments and property taxes as a result Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 of the COVID-19 pandemic. So what it is very important for me to put on the record is that -and I want to read this. S. Department of Treasury announced that Pennsylvania would receive over $350 million to help homeowners who have fallen behind in their mortgages, property taxes, or utilities as a result of the pandemic. " Mr. President, that was Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 information that came out as a result of the hearing that this City Council held. I want to state to all of my colleagues who signed our letters, yourself, Mr.
, Cindy Bass, Kendra Brooks, Bobby Henon, Derek Green, Helen Gym, and Isaiah Thomas, thank you so very much for putting your name on the line and working to ensure that we use every tool possible to protect the best interest of homeowners in the City of Philadelphia and neighborhoods throughout our city. I also want to note, Mr. President, that it's not a coincidence that both of the resolutions that I introduced today and many of my bills and resolutions, quite frankly, over the past few years have to do with protecting homeowners, all homeowners, and Black and Brown homeowners in particular. This issue is of great Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 personal and professional concern to me. Just today someone forwarded me an article that was in Governing magazine, and it was published and highlights the very important research that a good friend of mine, Alan Mallach, Councilmember Jones, whose research looked at six large cities, including Philadelphia, and what they called the fortunes of Black middle-class neighborhoods. The trend since the early 2000s are not encouraging, to say the least, and some might say that they were downright alarming. I don't care whether we're talking about discriminatory and predatory lending practices, the dire need for home repairs, or racial bias in home appraisals or the concern that Black and Brown homeowners are going to face an avalanche of foreclosures and then sheriff sales as we come out of this pandemic. I am intentional and unapologetic about sounding the alarm. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 If we don't stand up for Philadelphia homeowners today from all walks of life, then we won't have homeowners in the future and/or Black and Brown homeowners in just a few decades. There are constant, ever-evolving forces at play that are continually trying to strip equity from hard-working Black and Brown people, and we cannot allow them to win. As the Governing article concludes, there's no single solution that will work for every struggling neighborhood, but seemingly simple steps can play a major role over time in making neighborhoods healthier for residents, more appealing to newcomers and, in essence, given the headwinds that we see against middle neighborhoods in general and Black middle neighborhoods in particular, it's an investment that might be well worth making. And so, again, I want to thank you, colleagues, and note that we are Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 happy to hear that 60 days of relief have been provided and sheriff sales will not occur. We also want to note for the record a special thanks to President Judge Fox for our communication with the courts, the correspondence that we just sent to you yesterday, and you immediately brought stakeholders together to figure out whether or not there was precedent in acting on the correspondence we sent to you. And I find it quite interesting that 24 hours, President Judge, after we sent our correspondence to you and when you brought those stakeholders together from the legal services community, that we received this letter from the Sheriff noting that sheriff sales will be halted for 60 days. I want Philadelphians to know if in 60 days that American Rescue Plan support those dollars going to the state that are to be funneled to Philadelphia, if it hasn't made it through the process within 60 days, we will be coming back Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 asking again for an extension, okay, to ensure that Philadelphians get a chance to benefit from that federal support coming. And to Councilmember Gauthier and Councilmember Gym, if the delay in sheriff sales is a surprise to you and you don't know it, it would be, Councilmembers, because correspondence was sent from the Sheriff's Office about 9:30 today, but it only included or was addressed and sent to 14 members of Council.
Just for the record, because I know sometimes these things get quite confusing about the number of people who serve in this body, there are 17 members who serve in this body. I have the great honor and privilege of serving as the Majority Leader and the partner to our City Council President, and Gauthier, Gym, and Parker for the record are members of this body. If you send correspondence to us, make sure you Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 include the last names of GG and P. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. Thank you so much. That will be on next week's Calendar.
Councilwoman Gilmore Richardson offers three resolutions. On behalf of Council President Clarke, Councilwoman Gilmore Richardson offers a resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property to execute and deliver to the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority deeds conveying fee simple title to certain City-owned lots or pieces of ground with the buildings and improvements thereon situate in the Fifth Councilmanic District.
On her own behalf, Councilwoman Gilmore Richardson Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 offers a resolution honoring and congratulating Philadelphia High School for Girls Principal Lisa Mesi on winning a 2021 Lindback Award for Distinguished Principals.
And also on her own behalf, a resolution recognizing May 2021 as National Bike Month in the City of Philadelphia.
Councilwoman Gym offers one resolution, entitled a "Resolution recognizing and honoring Eileen Duffey-Bernt as the 2021 Pennsylvania School Nurse of the Year by the National Association of School Nurses and for a quarter century of serving and relentlessly advocating on behalf of student health and education justice for Philadelphia children."
Next Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 week's Calendar.
Councilman Henon offers two bills, entitled "An ordinance amending Chapter 9-1000 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled 'Trades,' to modify licensing and conduct requirements applicable to contractors"; and An ordinance amending Title 4 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "The Philadelphia Building Construction and Occupancy Code," and Title 9 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Regulation of Businesses, Trades and Professions," to revise provisions relating to excavation work and work impacting historic structures, create an excavation contractor license, and institute additional safeguards for property adjoining certain construction activities.
Councilman Thomas Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 offers two resolutions, entitled a "Resolution honoring Coach Willie 'Billy' Void for an impactful life and coaching career of more than 35 years mentoring hundreds of student athletes all across Philadelphia as owner and coach for Positive Image Youth Organization."
Thank you, Council President. I was going to offer remarks after both resolutions.
After both? Okay. Go ahead, Mr. Decker, read the second one, please.
And a resolution honoring Coach Paul Gripper for a life lived as an outstanding coach and mentor as a pillar of Philadelphia's basketball community.
Thank you. The Chair now recognizes Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 Councilman Thomas.
Thank you, Council President. I want to first take a couple moments to frame the conversation to explain how we got to this point. Councilmember Parker in her leadership as our Majority Leader as well as leading the fight as it relates to our concerns around the sheriff sale had a hearing that we were all a part of, and in that hearing, there was some heart-wrenching testimony, and one of the people who came to testify was a woman named Ashley Gripper, and Ashley Gripper spoke about her concerns not just around sheriff sales, the housing crisis that we're facing not just in Philadelphia but across the country, but she also talked about inequities in the Black community and spoke to how those inequities cost her father his life. And her father ended up unfortunately passing away last year right, Council President, if you Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 remember, right when we were in the midst of trying to figure out how do we adjust and what are we allowed to introduce and not introduce with the Sunshine Act and other restrictions that we had prior to transitioning fully into the process that we have right now as far as virtual hearings. And so unfortunately this legislative body was not able to honor her father last year and give him the just due that he deserved. So with that spirit and with the energy that he put out there and she spoke about it in the hearing when she talked about the fact that he would give the shirt off of his back or his last dollar to a student athlete in need, she wasn't exaggerating. She wasn't lying. I knew Coach Gripper very well, and he was just as she testified in that hearing as far as his influence on young people and the next generation. So I commend Ashley, her brother Joey Gripper, who is taking after Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 his father and coaching right now, and their family and offer our condolences on behalf of this body. And then I also wanted to acknowledge and recognize Coach Void, Coach Bill Void, who we lost a little while back. And, again, Coach Void was a pillar in the basketball community and somebody who had so much impact on so many different people. And when I think about Coach Gripper and Coach Void, the one thing that they do have in common is they have sons who also coach and give back to the community as well too. So as a father currently and as a son of a father who coached, I know what it means to lend your dad to so many different people across the City and what that means as far as not just the influence that their fathers had, but also the responsibility that they now have to carry that torch and to carry that legacy. So I just want to commend both Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 families. I want to thank both men for their contribution to the City of Philadelphia, and I also want to just let those families know that our thoughts and prayers are with them, and if there's anything that this legislative body can do to support them, we are here. Thank you, Council President. I appreciate the time.
Thank you, Councilman. That will be on next week's Calendar.
Councilman Squilla offers five bills and two resolutions, entitled "An ordinance establishing parking regulations in the vicinity of: Dauphin Street and Belgrade Street; Almond Street and Dauphin Street; York Street and Almond Street; Taggert Street and Norris Street; Cedar Street and Norris Street; Marlborough Street and Thompson Street"; and An ordinance establishing Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 parking regulations in the vicinity of: Ellsworth Street and South 9th Street; Reed Street and South Broad Street; Mountain Street and South 6th Street; Latona Street and South 7th Street; and An ordinance establishing parking regulations in the vicinity of: Moore Street and South 6th Street; McClellan Street and South 5th Street; Mifflin Street to South 6th Street; South 3rd Street to McKean Street; and An ordinance amending Section 12-701 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Designation of Bicycle Lanes," to authorize bicycle lanes on Race Street from North 5th Street to North 4th Street; and making associated changes to parking regulations within the same limits; and An ordinance authorizing encroachments in the nature of a sidewalk cafe in the vicinity of 941 South 8th Street.
Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 Thank you. Those five bills will be referred to the appropriate committee.
Also offered are two resolutions, entitled a "Resolution authorizing the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority to execute and deliver to the Philadelphia Land Bank deeds conveying title to certain properties located in the First Councilmanic District pursuant to requirements of the Commonwealth Land Bank Act."
And a resolution authorizing the Philadelphia Land Bank to dispose of 2013 East Hazzard Street located in the 1st Councilmanic District.
Councilwoman Bass offers one resolution authorizing the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority to execute and deliver to the Philadelphia Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 Land Bank deeds conveying title to certain properties located in the Eighth Councilmanic District.
And Councilman Oh offers one resolution, entitled a "Resolution proclaiming May 2021 as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in Philadelphia to pay tribute to the rich history and significant contributions made by generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to our country, state, and city."
There are no other bills or resolutions being offered today by the members, Mr. President.
Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. That concludes our introduction of bills and resolutions. We have no reports from Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 today, so our next order of business is the consideration of the Calendar. There being no bills on the First Reading Calendar, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker for a motion concerning the resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move that the rules of Council be suspended to permit use of a Consent Agenda to consider the following resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar today. They are Resolutions No. 210365, 210366, 210367, 210368, 210369, 210370, 210371, 210373, 210374, 210376, 210377, 210378, and 210379. (Duly seconded.)
Thank you. It has been moved and seconded that the rules of Council be suspended to permit the use of a Consent Agenda to consider the resolutions just Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 2ND READING read by Councilwoman Parker. All in favor indicate by saying aye. (Aye.)
The ayes have it, the motion carries, and we will consider the Resolution Consent Agenda shortly. The Chair again recognizes Councilwoman Parker for the purpose of calling up bills and resolutions on the regular Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar.
Thank you, Mr. President. In addition to the resolutions being considered on the Consent Agenda, the following resolutions and bills are being called up from the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendars today. They are Nos. 210135-AA, 210139-A, 200348, 210159, Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 210207, 210228, 210246, 210247, and 210249. All other bills and resolutions are being held. And, Mr. President, for the benefit of our Chief Clerk, I did not mention 210206 or 210215, because I was sent a message to one of our colleagues that those two be held, Mr. President.
Thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman. Let the record reflect that. Thank you. Thank you very much. So we will now move to our public comment session, but before we proceed with consideration of public comment, we will now take a brief fiveto ten-minute recess to give our technology professionals some time to connect the speakers that we have for today's meeting.
Mr. President, I apologize, sir. I just looked in the Chat and I did not see this while we were going through the Consent Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 Agenda, that Councilmember David Oh has objected to Resolution No. 210373 being included on the Consent Agenda, Mr. President. So for our Chief Clerk, do I need to make a motion or can it just be removed, Mr. President?
We can just state that based on the objection that requires no debate, that will be on the regular Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar.
You're welcome. So we're going to take that brief break to allow our folks to connect with our speakers today. (Brief pause.)
Thank you. Thank you. We will now proceed with our public comment session. Now that everyone is connected Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 to the meeting and before considering the resolutions and bills we have before us today, we're going to consider our public comment, and it will go as follows: Public comment must concern matters on the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendars for possible action at a session of Council. A speaker on any of those matters must sign up in order to testify. You must call 215-686-3406 by 3:00 p.m. the day before the session to sign up for the public comment. When you call, we will take your name, phone number, the number of the legislative item that you are commenting on, and whether you are in support of or against the legislation, and add your name to the list. We will telephone each person on the list during the Council session and invite them to our remote meeting. I think today I think we have ideal circumstances, so we're going to allow three minutes for the speakers, but Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 I must say that from time to time, we may vary given the volume of speakers that we have on a particular day. In order to be fair to all those wishing to speak, I intend to hold faithfully to the established time limit. Once invited to the meeting and asked to begin your testimony, a timer will be started. We will monitor your remaining time throughout your testimony, and when there are 30 seconds remaining to your time, you will be reminded of this. Once your allotted time has passed, you will be asked to conclude your remarks, and shortly thereafter you will be muted and disconnected from the remote meeting. I also reserve the right to limit the number of speakers where repetitious comments are being made on the same subject matter and to limit the scope of the testimony to only certain items on the agenda during the emergency, which could affect callbacks for the Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 public comment at the meeting. Please be aware that this public meeting is being recorded. Because the meeting is public, participants and viewers have no reasonable expectation of privacy. So by continuing to be in the meeting, you are consenting to being recorded. I will now ask Mr. Decker to please read the name of our first speaker.
The first speaker is Kolson Schlosser, commenting on 210374.
Good morning. State your name for the record and please proceed with your testimony.
My name is Kolson Schlosser. I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple, and I also volunteer with Reclaim Philadelphia and POWER Interfaith. I'm here to speak in support of Resolution 210374 and to Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 suggest we vehemently oppose State Bill 275. I have a Ph.D. in geography from Penn State. We often tell our introductory students central questions of geography are, where it is and why is it there. In this case, the "it" is the proper scale of environmental governance. Republicans in the state legislature want that to be located at the state level, and the "why" of it is obvious. They're shamelessly in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry. There's no bigger, loftier philosophical reason for it. They're just afraid the people of the Commonwealth might take their energy futures into their own hands. But the proper scale of environmental governance is tricky. Climate change is simultaneously global, regional, and local. If we're to achieve rapid decarbonization, we need integrated policymaking at all three levels. The Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 President's decarbonization plans will be all for naught if urban municipalities don't have the power to prepare their own infrastructure for a just transition. So I'm saying the "where" of it is at the local scale, because that's how we rest our energy and climate futures out of the control of the fossil fuel behemoths. That's how we begin the process of healing in our environmental justice communities that have historically been burdened by these dirty industries. That's how we usher along an energy transition that provides good jobs to our workers who have supported their families in the energy sector; in other words, a just transition. The state doesn't care about them and certainly not the republican legislature, but we do. Ensuring that Philadelphia can dictate its own building codes to phase out fossil fuels is an important first step in mitigating a runaway climate change that threatens our Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 oceans, our coasts, our food availability, our safety from major storms and frankly a livable future for our children. I don't know whether this legislation would mean anything to state republicans -- this resolution, I mean, whether it would mean anything to state republicans, but State Bill 275 is a blatant and shameless power grab that should not go uncontested. So just once again, I support Resolution 210374 to allow Philadelphia to enable a just transition as it sees fit. Thank you, and I yield the rest of my time.
Thank you. Thank you for your testimony. We appreciate it.
Good Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 morning. State your name for the record and just proceed with your testimony.
Thank you. Good morning. I'm Nancy Goldenberg, President and CEO of Laurel Hill and West Laurel Hill Cemeteries. I'd like to thank Councilmember Gilmore Richardson and all of City Council for recognizing the civic value of public gardens and their contribution to the quality of life for every community, and thank you for reminding everyone that Philadelphia is and always has been America's garden capital. Laurel Hill, together with its sister cemetery, West Laurel Hill just across the Schuylkill River in Bala Cynwyd, constitute a single 265-acre accredited arboretum dedicated to the horticultural vision of their founder, John Smith. When Smith founded Laurel Hill on the banks of the Schuylkill in 1836, well before the establishment of Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 Fairmount Park, he was determined to create a gardenesque urban respite for pleasure and fullest to all. He knew more about gardens than most. He was not only the head librarian at the Library Company, but a horticulturist and editor. In fact, he edited Andrew Jackson Downing's publication, The Horticulturist. He designed his own estate in Germantown, which featured intricately planned gardens and fruit and ornamental trees, and he was founder of the Germantown Horticultural Society. So while not formally trained as a landscape designer, he and John Notman, the architect, were landscape innovators acting on the cutting edge of design. These are the values and attitudes we inherited and use to inform what we do today. We were not only inspired by Smith, but also highly motivated by visitor experience and committed to our role as an anchor Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 institution in our community. We recently planted over 15,000 daffodils at Laurel Hill along Ridge Avenue. We've added pollinator gardens, dwarf conifer gardens, rock gardens. We have a green burial area, and we proudly show off our six state champion trees. There's so much beauty to take in at our arboretum, and I invite each of you to come, especially now when everything is blooming. Our visitation has skyrocketed, particularly in the past year, as more and more people have discovered that Laurel Hill and West Laurel Hill Cemeteries are safe, easily accessible, and not only remarkable historic cemeteries but also beautiful gardens for everyone to enjoy. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your testimony. We appreciate it.
The next speaker is Bonita Cummings, commenting on 210159. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021
Good morning. State your name for the record and proceed with your testimony.
Yes. State your name for the record and proceed with your testimony.
My name is Bonita Cummings. I am the Director of Strawberry Mansion Community Concern, and I'm testifying today on Bill No. 210159. I'd like to say good morning to the President and the members of City Council. Scientifically we know drugs are more addictive to African Americans than other non-African Americans. We experience more health and social destructive disorders and, as we all know, lack the neighborhood resources and enforcement to address this exploitative problem. Our young college students will not get to say, oh, I will just do these Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 drugs and dust myself off after college and go to work for the top firms or companies in the world. They most likely will only make it to the rank of the homeless, where they're exploited and then die lonely and forgotten. The neighborhoods that are suffering from the influx of paraphernalia businesses know what it takes to get legislation addressing quality of life issues that are so destructive to communities passed and enforced. So I want to thank you, Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson and co-sponsors Councilmembers Cherelle Parker and Bobby Henon, for Bill No. 210159, which brings attention to the problem of excessive paraphernalia businesses as taking an action to prevent the continued destruction of Philadelphia's neighborhoods or communities. So I say to the communities, get behind the Councilmembers and get Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 bill. Hold Licenses and Inspections accountable for enforcement. Last, and most importantly, let us not let this past familiar problem mutate and spread like a virus and kill any more young people than it already has. Protect your Philadelphia neighborhoods from this deadly paraphernalia and its many drug uses. Thank you.
Thank you for your testimony. We appreciate it.
We have no other speakers on the public comment list, Mr. President.

Council President, Councilwoman Brooks would like to be recognized before the vote on this Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING bill.
Thank you, Council President. I want to thank my colleagues once again for their strong support for this bill. I also want to acknowledge Councilmember Oh's concern regarding this bill's impact on the rights of parents. My team has consulted with the Law Department on this issue, and we are confident that this bill would be enforced as intended to expand protections for victims of coercive control. This legislation, as I mentioned when I introduced it, honors my cousin Tianna Thompson, whose life was stolen as a result of domestic violence eight years ago. Today would have been Tianna's 38th birthday, and it is incredibly meaningful to be able to vote Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING on this bill on this day. So many survivors of abuse do not speak out because fear, stigma, or shame and because their abuse does not align with what people normally think domestic violence is, but the reality is that domestic violence can take a number of forms and is not always physical, and these non-physical forms of abuse manipulation, control, threat, forced isolation from friends and family - often lead to more deadly forms of violence. So it is a privilege to say loudly and clearly to all survivors out there and anyone who may be experiencing abuse, you matter and your experiences matter. You are more than the worst thing that has happened to you, and help is available. Thank you, Council President, and thank you, Council colleagues.
Thank you, Councilwoman. Councilman Johnson, did you Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING want to be recognized?
I'm seeing somebody's hand up. Councilman Oh. I'm sorry.
Thank you very much, Council President. That in fact is my hand. First of all, I want to thank Councilmember Kendra Brooks for this very important bill and raising this very important issue and of course her personal connection that makes it all the more relevant. I am sure this bill is going to pass. I will explain why I will vote against it. While I agree with the intention of the bill, the examples that have been provided have been between two consenting adults in their relationship. My concern is that the definition is overly broad in the sense that it Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING includes minors living in a parent's home and it includes adults living under the roof of their parents. Parents are the first line of care and defense, and many times parents behind closed doors deal with the toughest problems in our lives, including drug addiction and abusive relationships. Parents are controlling. That's the truth of the matter. And when it comes to government, I don't trust government. I don't believe government has common sense. I don't believe that government distinguishes what this bill means, because it's overly broad. I do believe that the good intentions should be specifically defined so that government does not start doing things on its own accord when parents are engaged in trying to act as parents. I will say, for example, as a former prosecutor and a former defense attorney and a former civil attorney, I have had cases where domestic violence Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING laws require that people in the same household be removed. There is typically a requirement that some violent action take place before a police officer will forcibly remove a party from the home. It could be parents, it could be a child, it could be an adult child, it could a brother, it could be a sister. They just come out and do what they're told. Coercive control is an important step in this, but I do think it has to be narrowed so that police officers who arrive at a scene or when it comes to other laws that are going to follow this, that it is not -- it does not result in unintended consequences. I will just say an example that I deal with that I know Councilmember Kendra Brooks is very concerned about and has been an advocate of is misinterpretation of the law by the Department of Human Services, Child Protective Services, or just a blatant disregard of the law, which is targeted. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING It's selective. It does not apply to everybody. It doesn't apply to the wealth and the privileged. It doesn't generally apply to professional White people. I'm just saying what the data is. It applies to poor women, mostly minority women, Black women, and the data is overwhelming. I deal with that consistently and constantly about wrongful taking of children, separation of siblings by good-hearted people who are following what they understand the law to be and some not so good-hearted people. Anyway, I do understand the intention of the bill. I hope through some type of regulations or something it will be handled, and I just wanted to explain that's my concern, and I have had the courtesy of Councilmembers Brooks' engagement and conversation, and I thank her for that discussion. Thank you very much.
Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING Thank you. The Chair recognizes Councilman Henon.
Thank you, Council President. I just want to ask the sponsor for clarity, we can put it out there on the record, that this definition only applies to housing and employment, and there is a difference between acting like a parent and coercively controlling an adult child.
Yes. Councilmember Henon, yes. It only aligns for housing and employment issues. It does not have anything to do with the coercive control of a child.
Thank you. I just wanted to make sure that -- I just wanted to make sure that statement got on the record. Thank you for the clarity.
Thank Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING you.
Thank you. Thank you, Councilmembers. Okay. If there's no other comment on that, I'll call for a vote. This bill having been read on two different days, the question now is shall the bill pass finally. Mr. Decker, call the roll.
Councilman Green. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING
Aye. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING
Aye. The ayes are 16; the nays are one. A majority of all members present voting in the affirmative, the bill passes. Mr. Decker, additional resolutions.
Resolution No. 210371, entitled a "Resolution calling for the establishment of a 'Philly Youth Act' to reduce gun violence and foster, coordinate, and promote peace treaties amongst our Philadelphia youths," introduced by Councilman Jones.
Thank you, Mr. President. First, I want to thank the members of the Public Safety Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING Committee for today the first thing this morning meeting with the Prisons Commissioner to discuss some of the urgent conditions in that facility. One of the things that came out that Member Thomas said, which I appreciate some light shown on and some good news, was that there was an apprehension of the individual that came onto prison property and assassinated a newly released inmate. I raise that because that individual was also alleged to be the subject and suspect in two murders in the Overbrook Park section, bringing his total case to four. What is truly disturbing after realizing that this was a continuation of a beef or altercation or problem between two neighborhoods, that this individual, this young person is 16 years old. I raise that in conjunction with this resolution to create mediations between neighborhoods to try to almost go Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING back in time and prevent those kinds of scenarios where two neighborhoods get into Twitter beefs and war on Facebook and Twitter gangsters and take it out on the streets of Philadelphia. If we could get trusted messengers, old heads, people with street cred, people with resources, stakeholders in the neighborhood to sit them down and negotiate peace treaties like we used to do at the House of Umoja and some people continue to do today. It's my understanding, Member Johnson, that Mr. Schuler has successfully negotiated those kinds of peace treaties in Philadelphia, but to get credible messengers at a table to be able to use our resources to hold peace for some time, maybe a summer or a year and, Mr. President, be able to offer them the right hand of fellowship, which might include resources or a job, but also to let them know that we're not playing and that if those offers are broken, those Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING treaties are broken, we will hold you accountable. So I want to take the best minds, the resources that we have, and present regional negotiating teams and create a Philly Youth Act. And with that, I move for the adoption of the resolution, Mr. President. (Duly seconded.)
Thank you. It's been moved and properly seconded. All those in favor of the resolution indicate by saying aye. (Aye.)
The ayes have it, and that resolution is adopted.
And Resolution No. 210373, entitled a "Resolution Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 4/29/21 - STATED - 2ND READING calling upon the United States Congress to admit Washington, District of Columbia as the 51st straight in our Union," introduced by Councilman Green.
Thank you, Council President. I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)
It's been moved and properly seconded. All those in favor indicate by saying aye. (Aye.)
All right. Let the record reflect Councilman Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 have voted nay. The motion passes. A majority of members voting in the affirmative, the resolution is adopted.
There are no other resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar, Mr. President.
Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. Next on the agenda will be speeches, but prior to recognizing the members regarding speeches, I just want note for the record at this time that we will use the Chat feature available in Microsoft Teams to allow the members to signify that they wish to be recognized. In order to comply with the Sunshine Act, the Chat feature must only be used for that particular purpose. So with that said, members of the minority, speeches? The Chair recognizes Councilman Oh.
Thank you very Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 much, Council President. I have two points to raise. m. It deals with reopening the economy, particularly focused on the creative arts economy. But what I want to point out in that is the first panel will deal with technology, and there's a couple of pieces of technology that I just want to inform the public about. I took a trip out to look at a demonstration of two different technologies -- three, actually. One I don't think needs much explanation. It's ultraviolent light. It's very good for killing COVID when things are stationary, such as buses or trains that return to the station. They're not being used. Ultraviolet light to kill COVID-19. The other two are, I think, kind of more novel in the public Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 important to reopening our city. The first is an ionizer. It simply produces positive and negative ions. It's about the size of a cell phone, and you can just turn it on and stick it in an air duct or next to a fan or next to a window unit. All it does is produce positive and negative ions. Turn it on, leave it there for eight years. Don't need to touch it. But it produces ions by the billions. Because there's an equal number of positive and negative ions, there's no adverse effect to the atmosphere. Ions are just simply put in the air. What they do, however, is they surround the protein shell of COVID-19, positive and negative ions, and when combined with the moisture in the air, form hydrogen peroxide, and that dissolves the protein shell and the virus dies. It is very inexpensive. It is currently used in Delaware state prisons Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 It is being used in, I believe, North Carolina schools. It is being put into certain trains, certain airplanes, and certain automobiles. When you talk about, for example, large venues, indoor venues, from the Flyers to the Sixers or to conventions or to schools or to music venues, capacity is an issue, restaurants, bars, all that. This is something that is affordable, can be done, and it is extremely effective in destroying COVID-19. The next one is an eye and throat scanner. So basically in 10 to 15 seconds, I stood in front of a scanner, opened my mouth and eyes, and in 10 seconds, it gave me the results that I was negative for COVID-19 by scanning the particles in my throat and in my eyes. Another scanner will be presented at the hearing. That takes about three seconds. It's an eye Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 are over 90 percent effective. Both scanners 92 percent effective, which is greater than what we are doing right now. The possibilities of going to an event, buying a ticket, getting scanned, and knowing that 100 percent of the people in that location are COVID free, knowing that the air is COVID free I think is critical as we start talking about how we reopen our economy and what role the City has in facilitating, helping, incentivizing, and even funding the reopening of all our systems. Again, some airlines are doing it. Some auto manufacturers are doing it and some are not. You know, that's democracy in action. But given a choice of getting in an Uber that has an ionizer or getting on a bus that has an ionizer or buying a car that has an ionizer and one that doesn't, this is already proven through years of effectiveness. It's been in Humvees in the Israeli military. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 and other places. So it's not a novel technology. So I would like to point that out first.
The second thing, I'd like to just note that yesterday was the 25th anniversary of service for Highway Patrol Officer Andy Chan, very popular highway patrol officer, someone who is well respected, and unfortunately if you recall, he was in a terrible motorcycle accident and landed on his head and has been in a coma, and he was yesterday being recognized and he's still in a wheelchair. I just want to say that people like Andy Chan are a great value and service to our city. We have acts of people who do brave things. He is a person, like many fellow officers and firefighters and emergency personnel, who do it 24/7, not once in a while, not once a year, every day of the week whenever they're on duty and often times off duty. I just want to recognize him Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 his service. Thank you very much, Council President.
Thank you, Councilman, and we recognize him also. And I must say that hearing is one that I'm actually going to pencil into -- I've already said that this Council is probably one of the most enlightened City Councils in the country. I look forward to hearing about that information. Speeches on behalf of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker.
Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, on April the 27th, I read an article that was in the Patch newspaper, and the article noted that President Biden was coming to Philadelphia on Friday for his Getting America Back on Track Tour and for an Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 50th anniversary of Amtrak. And last night, Mr. President, I, I'm sure along with each of you and all of Philadelphia, had the opportunity to watch President Biden give his address to a joint session of Congress, and after listening, Mr. President, and taking copious notes of the President's remarks, I said to myself that I don't care where you were during last year's presidential election, whether or not you were a democrat, a republican, an independent, or someone else, you had to be proud as an American on yesterday listening to him give his presentation and talking about how America can rise as we move through this crisis and take advantage of many opportunities that currently present themselves to us as it relates to our rebuilding our nation. And in the midst of it, Mr. President, I want to note for the record that he talked about marshaling every federal resource available to Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 renters. He talked about loans to small businesses. He talked about addressing the opioid crisis. He reminded us that we are in the midst of a global competition as it relates to job creation and innovation. He also talked about, Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson, he talked about the climate crisis and its opportunity to create jobs. I thought about you and the lessons you've taught me about urban heat islands and how we should pay attention to that, but that addressing climate change in the crisis can help us create jobs. Councilmember Green, he was unapologetic about encouraging us to promote buy American, and he said this wasn't anti-trade. He said this was just pro-America. In addition to that, he talked about creating jobs that can't be outsourced, that can't be outsourced. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 that, he mentioned that this was his blue-collar blueprint for America. Philadelphia, if you remember when we were thriving the most, that was when Tastykake and the Budd plant and all of those jobs were available that didn't require a college education, but they paid a good wage, they gave you healthcare, access to retirement security, and put men and women on a path to self-sufficiency so they could walk with their backs straight and their heads up and take care of their families. He also reminded us that Wall Street didn't build America, that the middle class did. He talked about the power of organizing and the power of labor unions and helping to put people on a path to self-sufficiency, that $15 minimum wage that we've been advocating for. One of the things he said that I know some people closed their ears to Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 think about my tenure, my tenure, tenure that was only long enough to find my way to the bathroom in Harrisburg, but he said out loud, which has become dangerous today, that bipartisanship isn't dead, Councilmembers Brooks, O'Neill, and Oh, and that it's okay for us to talk to each other when we are trying to get something done, even if we agree to disagree. Councilmember Sanchez, I know your ears were wide open when he said, listen, when we formalized 12 years of education in the United States and made that our standard operating procedure, it worked. Twelve years is no longer enough. He talked about access to free community college. He talked about HBCUs, talk about equity.
He talked about HBCUs providing quality education, particularly for Black and Brown young people and others, but that they don't have the endowments that the Ivy League institutions have and that it was Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 government to support HBCUs. Councilmember Brooks and Councilmember Greenlee, if you're watching today, I thought about you all when he talked about 12 weeks of paid family medical leave. That's what you advocated for, and Councilman Greenlee, you laid the foundation for that and bugged me to death when I was in Harrisburg about it when they were about to preempt our legislation. So thank you. In addition to that, Mr. President, it's something that we've been talking about recently that I want Philadelphia to pay attention to, and when we introduce our Gun Violence Prevention and Opportunity Plan, one of the things we said is that trickle-down economics hasn't worked in the past. It didn't work in the 1980s when it was introduced as the savior to all of America, and President Joe Biden, the Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 46th, just said trickle-down economics won't work today. So whenever we're talking about tax cuts, Mr. President -- and we should in Philadelphia think about this while we're going through our budget process -if we can't connect the tax cuts to new net jobs or bringing back people to an industry that otherwise would not be back without those tax cuts, we need to think carefully about them. Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, while we were up -- I'm sorry that I text you so late at night, but when I heard him talk about the gun violence epidemic and he did mention the mass shootings, but he also talked about those daily shootings that are occurring, you know, on a daily basis in cities and states across the nation, I thought about Councilmembers Jones and Johnson. And, finally, I wanted to say this, Mr. President. He talked about big policy issues in a very personal way, but Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 it the most is that he didn't demonize those people who thought different than he does as it relates to these issues. As a matter of fact, he kept repeating over and over, and I knew it was intentional, that, listen, I've introduced this and I want you to send a bill to my desk, but if you have another idea or another plan to fix it, let me know what it is and let us work together in order to get it done. It's with that sentiment in mind, Council colleagues, that I'm honored to work with each and every one of you. I'm proud of the work we've done as a collective body, and I look forward to working with each of you in the future as we address systemically, layer by layer, the systemic challenges facing Philadelphia. And to our 46th President of the United States of America, President Joe Biden, thank you for your leadership, Mr. President. This City Council of Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. And I got to tell you, Councilwoman, you did a much better job than anybody I saw on MSNBC or CNN, right, last night after that speech on laying out the particulars of his speech. Thank you so much. I love it. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Gym.
Thank you very much, Council President. , who invited me to indulge in my inner nerd and join my first spelling bee since 5th grade on behalf of charity, but proud to support Beyond Literacy and the work that they are doing to expand supports for adults who are learning to read and to make sure that literacy is top of mind for everybody. So congratulations to Beyond Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 Literacy, and proud to be your spelling bee champ for the first time since elementary school. The second thing I wanted to talk about was to thank Councilwoman Parker for her leadership on the sheriff sales issue. I have never been part of a hearing, I think, in my six years on City Council that was quite like the one that unfolded over those six hours, and I think the investment that was spent on the front end on the research about it was profoundly important. I also think that it's important at this time to make very clear that this is why Council matters. One of the things that has come to light since then is that all contracts are by Charter, by City Charter, must be approved by the City Law Department. Councilmember Parker, I think we heard in the hearing that this contract was not discussed with the City Law Department. So there are a lot of issues Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 stake, and we have decisions that need to be made. The halting of the sheriff sale was not only necessary, but probably mandatory, and look forward to continuing the work together as you continue to champion this issue, but just want to thank you very much for helping lead that. And then the final thing I wanted to talk about was an issue that's near and dear to my heart. Just this week there have been two separate studies on Philadelphia's eviction prevention work and how much it did on a national scale to really change the course of what could have happened in our city. There is a study that showed how the eviction prevention work and keeping people housed actually slowed the spread of COVID. I know that's hard for us as we are in the middle of this thing, but it's not so much about what we suffered but how much worse it could have been had people been evicted, had we Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 And then the other national study was by the Urban Institute showing Philadelphia as one of four models. We are the first large city that they could see in the nation to actually mandate diversion, to ensure that cases would start off with discussion, negotiation, dialogue, and opportunities to resolve conflict before they ever even hit the courts, and that is largely because not only does it avoid court, which is one of the top things that we showed, an overwhelming proportion, over 90 percent, find something other than an eviction filing when we get people to sit down with a trained housing counselor and we offer them rent assistance and a whole bunch of other options. But it also means that they don't have an eviction record -- they don't have an eviction filing on their record, and that has caused enormous damage to so many families and Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 better housing and deserve better housing all the time. The past year was difficult, there's no question, but I think what these two studies show is that we did one thing incredibly well. We kept our people housed. We didn't throw them out based on poverty. And we found a way to ensure that landlords could also get paid. That doesn't just happen from scratch last year. There is a reason why we did so well, why we went from 20,000 evictions in 2019 to under 5,000 evictions in 2020. Meanwhile, a city of our size comparable, Phoenix, ignored all of those things and more than doubled their eviction numbers to over 31,000 evictions in 2020. We showed the nation there's a different path.
This, as I said, doesn't start just because there was a pandemic. It was the result of persistent and steady work by this Council body, by City Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 eviction prevention that started with legal services and expanded to rent assist, diversion, and all the plethora of opportunities that we're seeing right now, and certainly the American Rescue Plan brings in so much more opportunity. But the legal services that we're invested in allowed us to better understand the needs. It helped us understand the types of relationships that were involved and helped identify the profound and key roles that court advocates, landlords, and others had to play in this process, and to that, we have to thank the tremendous work of Eva Gladstein, Melissa Long and her shop, Greg Heller, Sue Wasserkrug and her team of counselors, and many of the different agencies that participated and supported this work so diligently and was just inundated all last year. But that's why I asked my colleagues on this body that as we head Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 session, we should not be stepping away from what works. We need to have a -- we should be strengthening what works and actually investing in it. This is why this Council body matters. Because people are calling our offices asking for help not to get evicted, helping to pay their rent, to ask about their rights, and negotiate with their landlords if they ever lose a job, if they ever got sick, if ever a loved one or someone who is bringing money into the household has ever passed away. They need us to be on their side. And so we cannot have a budget that we pass where we put in $343 million into tax cuts and less than a million dollars into eviction prevention. We're going to have a discussion about this. I look forward to it. I want to thank all my colleagues who have been champions on this issue and just appreciate the time. Stated Meeting April 29, 2021 much, Council President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. It doesn't appear that there are other speeches. So with that, we're going to recognize Councilman Jones for a motion to adjourn.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, May 6th, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Duly seconded.)
Thank you. It has been moved and seconded that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. All in favor indicate by saying aye. (Aye.)
