I want to thank all of my colleagues for joining me today as we honor and celebrate the 110th Anniversary of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Let's give them a round of applause. (Applause.)
I want to take a moment to acknowledge the three Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 in attendance today: Ms. Carol Parkinson Hall, she's the President of Omega Omega Chapter; Dr. Robyn Jones, President of Rho Theta Omega Chapter; Attorney Jackie Hugge, President of Omega Mu Omega Chapter; and one of my outstanding dear advocates when it comes to making sure all young people receive a quality education here in the City of Philadelphia, she's always standing up for parents who send their children to public schools here in the City of Philadelphia, Evelyn Sample-Oates. (Applause.)
Who served on the International Board of Directors of Alpha Kappa Alpha for eight consecutive years as a two-time Regional Director of North Atlantic region and the International Region. And so I want to take a moment to acknowledge the lovely ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha today for their hard work and Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 but, most importantly, their service to humanity. Rather it's them getting up on Saturday mornings and refurbishing and engaging in partnerships and making sure all of our young people have high-quality playgrounds and parks to play in here in the City of Philadelphia or providing scholarships for our young ladies to go on to become great achievers in our society, I thought it was only right to take a moment today to acknowledge them for their 110th Anniversary. I also would be remiss if I wouldn't acknowledge Dr. Lorina Marshall-Blake. Let's give her a round of applause. (Applause.)
And I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the Honorable Lori Dumas, who is with us today as well. (Applause.)
You know, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 part of any Greek fraternity, but however, when we talk about service primarily when it comes to the African American community and creating a legacy of helping humanity, I want to take a moment out of my busy schedule to acknowledge the fine work that these young ladies are doing. With individuals such as Kamala Harris, who is the first African American U.S. Senator, or Katherine Johnson, who is the star of -we all saw the movie Hidden Figures. So we've been sending people to the moon before they were actually really sending people to the moon. Individuals such as Sonia Sanchez or Bernice King, the daughter of MLK, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., or Loretta Devine, the great comedian Wanda Sykes, or some honoring members such as Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Alicia Keys, Marian Anderson, we know that this sorority has produced some of the finest and brightest and best Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 has to offer. And so today we will be acknowledging them for their hard work and dedication to humanity. And, again, I thank all my colleagues for being here with me today. And the resolution reads: Honoring and recognizing the sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for its dedication to sisterhood and service, in celebration of the sorority's 110th Anniversary.
Many thanks to Alpha Kappa Alpha for all of the work that they do in our communities, especially in the Eighth District. Whereas, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is a national sisterhood founded in 1908 at Howard University, under the leadership of Ethel Hedgeman Lyle. Other founders included Anna Easter Brown, Beula Elizabeth Burke, Lillie Burke, Marjorie Hill, Margaret Flagg Holmes, Lavinia Norman, Lucy Diggs Slowe, and Marie Woolfork Taylor; and Stated Meeting April 26, 2018
Whereas, founded by a group of young women who were conscientious of their unique positions as college-educated women of color just decades removed from the horrific era of slavery, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has remained dedicated to its motto, and I quote, "Service to All Mankind," since its founding days; and
Whereas, since 1908, the sisterhood has grown from the founding nine members into an organization of nearly 300,000 sorors at over 1,000 chapters worldwide. To this day, the sisterhood remains focused in its support of programs aimed at improving community health, education, and human rights, among other issues; and
Whereas, among the many initiatives founded by the sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha are several programs related to increasing educational access and attainment. The Educational Advancement Foundation, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 1980, is a tax-exempt branch of the sorority dedicated to providing "financial support to individuals and organizations engaged in lifelong learning." Through EAF, Alpha Kappa Alpha has provided more than $200,000 in scholarships to 1,400 students nationwide. And if they specifically said Philadelphia, Cherelle Parker would have been one of them.
As a member of another Greek organization that shares Kappa in its title, it brings me great pride to read the resolution. Whereas, from January 11th to 15th, 2018, the sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha gathered in Washington, DC, at the campus of Howard University where their sisterhood was born, to celebrate the 110th Anniversary of the organization's founding. In their finest pink and green attire, thousands of AKA sorors united in the name of "Service to All Mankind" and Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 sisterhood's remarkable history; and
And whereas, wearing red at an AKA cleanup can cost you $50,000. Whereas, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is an organization that has dedicated itself to the highest ideals of sisterhood and community empowerment for more than one hundred years. The City of Philadelphia, City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, is proud to join the AKA celebration of its 110th National Founders' Day; now, therefore, be it
I too want to thank them for all that they do. They volunteer for us every year. Thank you, Stephanie and all of you. Thank you. Resolved, that the Council of the City of Philadelphia, does hereby honor and recognize the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority for its dedication to sisterhood and service, in celebration of the Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 110th Anniversary. Congratulations. (Applause.)
Thank you. And the Chair recognizes Ms. Hall for remarks.
It is indeed an honor to stand before you today and just to say thank you, because you allow us to serve. You support us in so many ways. When we're out there on the playground, all of the community service that we do, City Council members come and support us, and we're thankful. We're thankful for this opportunity. We're thankful for the partnership. And you know what? There's so much more to do. So although we can't stand and rest on our laurels, there's so much more to do, and we hope that you will grab our hands as we continue to Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 empower, uplift, and strengthen families across this great city. God bless you all. (Applause.) UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: It's always wonderful to be recognized, but even more wonderful is the feeling that we get when we are serving the communities of Philadelphia. This has been such an awesome experience over the years as we've mentored children, provided scholarships, done the playgrounds, collected shoes and given them out, and so many other things that we want to continue and will continue to do the same. As we look into our future with the chapters here of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, we know that we will continue to do the same and have the support of both the Council, community leaders, and community members themselves throughout Philadelphia. Thank you. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 (Applause.)
Greetings, Council President Clarke and all members of City Council. I'm Jacqueline Hugge, President of the Omega Mu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, which is the third graduate chapter in the City of Philadelphia. We were chartered a year and a half ago on September 18th, 2016 by 35 phenomenal women, and since that time, we have grown to 83 members. The area that we serve in the City is from the Delaware River from Northeast Philadelphia to South Philadelphia. In particular, we have worked primarily with the residents from the Gambrel Recreation Center, Marian Anderson Recreation Center, and the Olney Elementary School where we planted trees, donated books, refurbished playgrounds, and established an emergency food pantry, among other things. I would like to extend special thanks to Councilman Kenyatta Johnson for Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 to the people of Philadelphia and his support of Omega Mu Omega Chapter. He attended our chartering in 2016, and he also gave us some grant money to support our community service efforts. Don't know if you remember, but you did. And thank you to the entire City Council for your recognition today of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and our 110 years of service to the community. Thank you. (Applause.)

And joining Councilman Domb, we have Councilman Jones, Councilman Green, Councilwoman Gym, Councilman Henon, Councilwoman Parker, and Councilwoman Blackwell and Councilman Oh, and we also have Councilman Taubenberger.
Thank you.

Recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act and marking the month of April as Fair Housing Month in the City of Philadelphia.
Take a little prerogative as a Pennsylvania Human Relations Commissioner to say how big a deal this is. I learned how Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 determines outcomes in everyone's lives. Where you work, where you're educated, how close you are to a hospital or other amenities can change the trajectory of one's life. And, therefore, whereas, April 11th, 2018 marks the 50th Anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 - the Fair Housing Act, which enunciates a national policy for Fair Housing without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, sex, familial status, and handicap, and encourages fair housing opportunities for all citizens; and
Special thank you to Angela McIver for all she does over the years to be helpful. And whereas, we recognize that where people live has a direct impact on the quality of their health, education, and access to economic opportunities; and
Whereas, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 development of racially and economically diverse communities; and
Whereas, fair housing plays a critical role in fostering healthy people and neighborhoods and we acknowledge that where someone lives affects both their physical and mental wellbeing; and

Whereas, the City of Philadelphia is dedicated to providing its private citizens, employees, public housing and non-profit organizations with the knowledge and tools to recognize housing discrimination; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Council of the City of Philadelphia, hereby recognizes the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act and marks the month of April as Fair Housing Month in the City of Philadelphia. (Applause.)
Council President Clarke, members of Council, thank you, Councilman Domb, for presenting me with Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 this legislative body. I'd also like to especially thank our members who came here today. My name is Joseph Rey. I am a realtor in the City of Philadelphia and serve as the 2018 President of Greater Philadelphia Association of Realtors. With more than 2,500 members, GPAR has served as the voice of real estate in Philadelphia since 1908. We have a proven track record of advocating for policies that protect the rights of private owners and benefit the entire city, not just our realtor community. As stated in the resolution, April is Fair Housing Month, and this year we mark the 50th Anniversary of the federal enactment of the Fair Housing Act, passed in 1968, one week after the assassination of Martin Luther King and the year I was born. The purchase of a home is one of the most significant events that any Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 their lifetime. It is more than just buying a house. It includes the hopes, dreams, aspirations, and economic destiny of those involved. There were many mistakes made in the past in relations to fair housing. The nation and realtors did not always support fair housing rights. In fact, the realtors opposed passage of the Fair Housing Act and at one time allowed local associations to exclude members based on race or sex. Realtors also defended many real estate practices that enabled and allowed housing discrimination and neighborhood segregation to flourish. These past mistakes highlight why the Fair Housing Act was needed 50 years ago. Today our strict realtor code of ethics strongly stands against discrimination and imposes obligations upon realtors in every phase and aspect of our work. Our association is deeply committed to working with our stakeholders on fair housing, educating Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 members, and taking the proper enforcement actions when there are violations of our code. As a Hispanic and someone who has experienced racism firsthand, I would like to share with you why this Act and resolution today is so meaningful to me. My mom and dad are Cuban immigrants. My father and his family fled from the rule of Fidel Castro for a better life in Philadelphia. Mom was already here visiting her uncle and was unable to return to Cuba. She would not see her family for 20 years. They married here and settled in Philly. I was born in Logan, predominantly African American neighborhood. My best friend was Monty Smith. We later moved to Hunting Park. We moved to Olney from Hunting Park because of racial tensions mainly between another Hispanic family on our block, the Santiagos, and a couple other families. I remember one Saturday morning Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 five not being allowed to go out and play because there was blood stains on my sidewalk. So shortly after, in 1975, my father decided to move us to Olney. At the age of 46, he became a first-time homebuyer. I was devastated to leave my friends and did not understand. Just three months after our move, the Santiago house was firebombed. Five were killed. Mr. Santiago was the only survivor. He lost his wife, three children, and a teenage family friend. These were people I knew, and at six years old, I now knew what racism was. Moving to Olney did not shelter us from racism. Although I met most of my best friends until this day there, many who protected me, we still have incidents and memories. My first friend and neighbor moved a year after we moved in. Whites beat up blacks. Blacks beat up whites. Korean street signs were torn down.
One summer bricks were thrown Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 at my family gathering because we were speaking another language. Later in life I am proud to say that other language helped me sell many homes in my neighborhood, which is where I first started practicing real estate, and I am proud to say most of my sales were to the protected classes of the Fair Housing Act which we are now celebrating. In fact, that neighborhood, Olney, is now the most linguistically diverse in all of Pennsylvania. Right, Cherelle?
How ironic. So ultimately my parents had the right to decide where they raised their family. They had the right to pick the place where they wish to call home. We earned the respect and grew to love our neighbors and neighborhood. Thanks to the Act and to Century 21 Weber, no Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 ever feel racism or intimidation, especially at the place they call home. My memories will serve as a reminder that all of us must continue to work every day to advance the rights defined and protected by the Fair Housing Act. Philadelphia's vibrant mix of cultures is what makes us great and gives us strength. It makes us who we are. As we mark the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, we recognize that any progress made stands on the shoulders of generations that preceded us, the people that marched in unwelcome cities, protested in contentious environments, challenged discriminatory practices, and fought quietly in the legislative sessions and community gatherings. We understand that there's still work to do. Today we work to address continuing discrimination to protect the LGBTQ community in the Fair Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 for the day when everyone will have the opportunity to experience the American dream. In closing, I am proud of the fair housing work our association's Diversity Committee and Board of Directors have done. They forged meaningful partnerships with Rue Landau and the Philadelphia Fair Housing Commission and with Amber Hikes and the City's Office of LGBT Affairs, one of very few in the country, by the way. We look forward to doing more with our stakeholders in the future. Thank you, Councilmembers. Thank you, Councilman Domb, for welcoming me to speak and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. And God bless our 76ers. (Applause.)
I would like to recognize Angela McIver, Board Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 the Fair Housing Rights Center, for brief remarks. MS. McIVER: Thank you so much. Good morning, everybody. ) MS. McIVER: Thank you to Council President Clarke, Councilmembers, and especially Councilman at-large Domb. S. Commission on Civil Rights. Thank you for reserving April 26th, 2018 to declare April as Fair Housing Month in the City of Philadelphia. On a historical note, from 1966 through '67, Reverend Dr. , served as our nation's first tester and worked with President Johnson on housing fairness legislation. On April 4th, 1968, Dr. King was assassinated. Seven days later, on Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 11th, 1968, President Johnson and Congress signed Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, also known as the federal Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988. On April 11th, 2018, our nation witnessed the 50th Anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Act, an anti-discrimination law that covers most housing transactions, protects seven classes of persons, and includes furthering fair housing. Under the New Deal, the Roosevelt Administration implemented discriminatory government-sponsored programs against most of the current protected classes. This is also known as bizuri (ph) segregation. The private business sector mimicked the discriminatory governmental practices and policies to reinforce and contribute to what is known as de facto segregation. The legacy of the federal government and the private business Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 entrenched in housing policies and in many marginalized communities. In Philadelphia we refer to them as racially and ethically concentrated areas of poverty. Ten years after the financial crisis, many residents of Philadelphia struggled to participate in the American dream. To create an even playing field, I encourage leaders -- and I want to underscore the word "encourage," because I think it's my role to be your partner in this, and that's to enforce anti-discrimination laws; remove barriers that preclude African Americans, Latinos, and poor Asians from accessing capital; support programs that generate wealth and income; expand the definition of credit; adopt a local Community Reinvestment Act ordinance; create more access to habitable and affordable housing; continue to work on the current assessment of fair housing plan; educate housing providers about -- rather, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 the reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications provisions of the federal Fair Housing Act as well as the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act; develop sound housing policies that enhance education and labor outcomes as those things are interconnected; improve Section 3 activities; address human relations issues in gentrifying communities; increase housing counseling and provide more direct education for residents in neighborhoods that are being severely impacted by the effects of tangled titles. To increase public awareness and understanding of several types of fair housing violations and ways to triumphant over discrimination, the Fair Housing Rights Center in Southeastern Pennsylvania will be premiering the private screening of an independent documentary entitled "Memoir of a Home: Meet the Brown Family that Revitalized Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 apologize for not being able to announce the location, but I signed a contract stating that I wouldn't disclose the location. The screening is important because from 1963 through 2013, the Parkside Development Corporation restored and renovated 25 properties, which includes 146 units.
Fair Housing Rights Center acknowledges that the Browns and the Parkside Development Corporation, which later became known as Parkside Historic Preservation Corporation, for believing in the significance of their work and persevering through many manmade discriminatory obstacles. In conclusion, as our nation evolves, may more ambitious people emerge to address the housing crisis by developing and managing more of their own real estate ventures. Thank you very much for an Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 during this time. )
Thank you. Council will be at ease. (Council at ease.)

Thank you, Councilman David Oh, for introducing this resolution and to all of the Councilmembers that are supporting it. I would be committing a true disservice to all of you without recognizing the Councilmembers that represent the parts of my journey through the City that ended up with me being at this podium. So hello to Councilman Darrell Clarke. My family's first home in Philadelphia was in District 5, 4th and Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 Quinones-Sanchez, I graduated from the original Kensington CAPA High School in District 7. When I returned from college in New York, I took residence in Councilwoman Bass's District 8, and I'm now employed in Councilman Squilla's District 1 and take the trolley at night to reside in Councilwoman Blackwell's District 3. So your constituencies have been the environment that continues to produce me and rolling stones like me. My name is Alexandria Legget. ly. We are the local tech news organization that is the lead organizer of Philly Tech Week 2018 presented by Comcast. I'm joined by several community organizers and supporters. This includes Comcast, of course; Coded by Kids; Women Tech Network; Webjunto; Mogulette; and Black Girl Ventures. After six months of planning, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 Tomorrow marks the start of the impressive showcase of the Philadelphia tech ecosystem by way of 100 curated events over ten days. It's the brightest representation of just how large, engaged, and cohesive our tech community actually is. And I'm proud to say that this is the most diverse and inclusive community calendar that I have seen after my three years of leading the curation of this calendar. It's a very big deal. Events range from entry-level professional development to tech summits for female founders of color, roundtables to map out what's to come in Philly, and awards ceremonies to pat ourselves on the back, because we are doing things. The common thread is simple: We are convening the game-changing innovators in a city that is used to being the underdog. That's an Eagles reference. ly not only report on these leaders, we're organizing them. Members of Council, I'd like to use this opportunity to leave you with a clear message. The Philadelphia technology community is here to make an impact. This community represents the future employers, the patent holders, the artists, educators, and company leaders. As Philadelphia's wealth gap grows, it is up to these leaders to set the example for other industries. An equal and all-inclusive workforce starts with access. While the entirety of the Philly Tech Week calendar is open to the public, nearly half of these events are free to attend. This type of inclusivity is what's absolutely vital to obtain the Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 for. It's what matters to you and to your constituents and to the City. I'd like to say collaboration is the theme that thrives. So let's join forces, and we need your support. ly.

Meet people, and you will be amazed. They claim that they have to search for the innovation and that it is not happening. They have to search for the diversity. It is all happening right here.

Thank you, Council President. Council President and colleagues, today I'm introducing a resolution authorizing hearings on one of the most complicated and difficult issues in American society, policing and race. I'd like to begin by noting my profound appreciation and respect for the demands of police work. We ask our men Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 and women in blue to navigate a maze of complex physical, psychological, emotional, and legal challenges. We ask them to run towards danger, to diffuse conflict, to give medical attention, to provide comfort to victims, to refer those in need to social services, and to gather evidence. Often they have to exercise judgement in quickly moving tense and even dangerous situations. That's a lot to ask human beings to do while neutralizing the biases that we all have lurking in our subconscious. But because the stakes of police work are so high, we must insist on high standards. I have faith in Commissioner Ross to provide leadership in attaining those high standards. He deserves much of the credit for the improvements that the Philadelphia Police Department has already made. Unconstitutional stops and frisks are down by half, and racial disparities and unconstitutional stops and frisks are relatively small. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 However, there is more work to be done. Even after controlling for geographic variation and demographics, employment, and crime rates, African Americans are twice as likely to be stopped and frisked than Caucasians in Philadelphia. Those disparities are even more stark in predominant Caucasian neighborhoods like Rittenhouse Square in the Second Councilmanic District where the arrest of two men recently made national news in the Starbucks cafe located at 18th and Spruce Streets. The neighborhood is 3 percent of African American residents, but 67 percent of those are stopped by stop-and-frisk tactics by the Philadelphia Police Department. Almost seven years after the settlement of the consent decree with the ACLU, it is now time for us to take a close look at the progress of the lawsuit and consider how we can get to the goal of constitutional race-neutral policing Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 in the City of Philadelphia. I look forward to working with Commissioner Ross and all the stakeholders and my colleagues to get there. Thank you very much, Council President.
Thank you, Councilman. That will be on today's Final Passage Calendar. The Chair recognizes Councilman Green.
Good morning, Council President. I have two bills I'm introducing today.
An ordinance amending Chapter 19-1400 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Realty Transfer Tax," by amending Section 19-405, entitled "Excluded Transactions," by replacing gendered marital signifiers.
Referred to committee. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018
And an ordinance amending Title 19, Chapter 2900, of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Senior Citizen Low Income Special Tax Provisions," to make certain technical changes.
Referred to committee. And the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker.
Thank you, Mr. President. I have two non-privileged resolutions. The first one relative to HUD is co-sponsored by Councilmembers Blackwell, Greenlee, Sanchez, Reynolds Brown, Johnson, Green, and Domb, and the second one, Mr. President, that I wish to be recognized after the title is read is co-sponsored by Councilmembers Gym and Domb.
A non-privileged Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 resolution calling on Congress to reject the proposal from HUD Secretary Ben Carson, which would triple the minimum rent cost for individuals in public housing, eliminate deductions for medical and childcare costs, and allow public housing agencies and property owners to impose work requirements, impacting 4.7 million families relying on federal housing assistance.
And a non-privileged resolution calling on the First Judicial District to develop user-friendly forms to improve access to justice for unrepresented victims of illegal possession of real property, and to facilitate an improved process for said victims to be heard by the court to address the rising level of illegal possessions of residential properties, and to address the problems with the current system, so as to prevent delayed Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 justice and irreparable harm to homeowners.
Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, last week during one of my budget briefings and town hall meetings, a group of constituents from a block in the Lawncrest section of the Ninth Councilmanic District approached me about a criminal squatting situation that was happening on their block. Now, I want to note for the record that these were seniors. Some of them were young families, and they had children, young children, who lived in their homes near this site. And when the residents complained to me -- and it wasn't a complaint. They were voicing concerns about a negative impact that this activity is having on their quality of life. They noticed that they're witnessing prostitution, drug dealing, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 and even within the house where this activity is occurring there are children living there. Now, while we immediately got to work, Mr. President, to try to bring different departments together, we're having a call this afternoon. The unfortunate issue is that the only way that most folks are able to resolve a case like this is when they go to court and file an order of ejectment, and for many homeowners, the process is difficult and it's confusing, especially if they're not represented by a lawyer. So it is with that in mind, Mr. President, that this resolution that I'm introducing calls on the First Judicial District to take some very prescribed steps now on how to address problems with the current system so as to prevent delayed justice and irreparable harm to homeowners. Now, I would be remiss and I want to get this clear for the record, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 because I just want the record to be the record. Let me thank my two colleagues, Councilmember Taubenberger and Councilmember Oh, who have both introduced legislation, not a resolution but an ordinance, on this issue. And while we are sort of working through the process to see where we reach common ground, although we may have some disagreements relative philosophically on how we get some resolution, we needed to make sure that attention remained on this issue. So it is with that in mind that while I thank my colleagues, I also want to thank Councilman Allan Domb, who is Chair of the Housing, Neighborhood Development and the Homeless Committee, and Councilwoman Helen Gym, who has been a vital voice in this conversation. I also need to say to the housing advocates -- and they know how I feel about this relative to any legislation -- we turn to you and we send Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 our constituents to you when we have challenges and they need help. So to Community Legal Services, to the Tenant Union Representative Network, TURN, the SeniorLAW Center, and the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia, I want to thank them, because the resolution that I introduced, while just tweaked, they were the initial entities and the coalition to actually put together this resolution, and their efforts came together after the hearing on squatting in the Housing Committee. So to my colleagues, I look forward to working with you as we work on some solutions legislatively to fix this issue, but I want to note although this resolution -- I need to state this for the record, Mr. President. Although this resolution is non-binding, I want to beg to differ about its importance. From my conversations with the housing advocates, there are laws on the books that could address instances of criminal squatting. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 However, many of them are not being properly enforced. And as we work through the pieces of legislation introduced by my colleagues, I want to make sure that we have found a way to talk about enforcement and that we bring all parties together to get feedback from everyone on this issue. So I'm looking forward to working with all.
And, most importantly, to my people in Lawncrest and Lawndale, your concerns have not fallen on deaf ears. I am sorry that there is no silver bullet single remedy that I can employ to fix your challenge. It's serious, and we're going to get it done and it's just going to take us a little bit of time. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. That will be on next week's Calendar. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.
Good morning, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 Council President. I have no bills or resolutions today. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Oh.
Thank you very much, Council President. I appreciate the resolution introduced by Councilwoman Parker. I want to be clear, however, that we have met and it's good to meet again. We have met, and we have resolved at least to agreement with the City Law Department on the bill that I introduced, on the bill that was amended in negotiation discussion. That was introduced again by Councilmember Taubenberger, and we continue to work through. The Police have said that they've written new protocols, but will not begin to introduce those protocols unless we in this body come to some agreement. We have met with Community Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 Legal Services in an effort to try to see if we could reach compromise on language in the bill. A couple weeks ago Councilmember Domb and Jannie Blackwell and I visited Ms. Lackey in Germantown. Councilmember Taubenberger was represented by his staff. She is a 70-year-old woman whose husband passed away. She is a widow. She has three properties that are -- they're not very wealthy properties. She was counting on that. She has no retirement or pension. And she sold one to purchase a home. She purchased all the things she needed, bathrooms, toilet, everything, kitchen, and stored it there. Her neighbor broke into her home, changed the locks, sold everything in her home, including the windows and the radiators, and nothing has happened to them. Those are criminals, and the Police have not acted. And by the time she got her house back -and there's a pile of rubbish outside of her house when we visited -- she has Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 nothing left in there. When we left visiting her home -- there's a parking area. There was no car. When we left the home, there was a high-end Mercedes sports car in there. These are not poor people. Community Legal Services is against any type of enforcement that protects the homeowner. And I understand they don't want innocent people hurt. There are a lot of homeowners that are hurt on this, and I will look forward to anything productive that comes from the discussions that Councilwoman Parker will have with Community Legal Services. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Gym.
Thank you very much, Council President. I'd like to introduce two privileged resolutions, one a hearing co-sponsored by Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 Councilmembers Green, Domb, and Reynolds Brown.

Thank you, Mr. President. I offer two bills, one on your behalf.
An ordinance approving the forty-second amendment of the redevelopment proposal for the Model Cities Urban Renewal Area, being the area beginning at the northwest corner of Front Street and Spring Garden Street, including the thirty-fourth amendment to the urban renewal plan.
And an ordinance authorizing Saint Lazarus Bar to install, own and maintain an open-air sidewalk cafe at 102 West Girard Avenue.

Thank you very much, Council President. I offer one bill, two non-privileged resolutions, one privileged resolution. I'd like to be heard after all the titles are read to speak on the bill. Thank you.
An ordinance providing for the submission to the qualified electors of the City of Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 Philadelphia proposing an amendment to The Philadelphia Home Rule Charter to provide accountability to City Council for real property assessment increases; and authorizing the appropriate officers to fix the date for the election for such purpose.
Referred to committee. Councilman, which one did you want to speak on?
Thank you very much. Council President, I just want to explain that I'm introducing an amendment, a Charter change amendment, to the balancing of the budget, in particular because with the mass appraisal system that has been employed Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 at least my time here in the last five years, the appraisals of property have been significant, and at least to me I don't have confidence in them. What I am trying to do is to fix within the Charter that any time the appraisals go above the Consumer Price Index for all urban areas in the United States, which last year I think was 2.4 percent, any time they surpass that, that Council has the opportunity to question the validity of those appraisals and that we have the opportunity to approve or disapprove of that. To me the current situation is taxation without representation. The executive in Philadelphia, the Mayor, has a lot of power. It's a strong Mayor system, but we have to have checks and balances, and right now the appraisals which have been consistent and ongoing and even last year when we did not raise taxes, assessments increased, which in fact raised taxes upon people. I think Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 the balance of power, checks and balance has shifted. And so I offer that as a remedy. I wanted to explain it to the public and to my colleagues. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Councilman. That will be referred to committee.
And a privileged resolution declaring May 2018 to be Hepatitis Awareness Month in Philadelphia to recognize and support the joint efforts of "Hep B United Philadelphia" and "Hepatitis C Allies of Philadelphia" coalitions aimed at raising awareness of the link between viral hepatitis and liver cancer.
And a non-privileged resolution urging the Pennsylvania General Assembly to amend Pennsylvania's Post Conviction Relief Act so that reliable evidence of innocence Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 may be considered to prove that a person who is convicted of a crime is, in fact, not guilty.
And a non-privileged resolution proposing an amendment to The Philadelphia Home Rule Charter to provide accountability to City Council for real property assessment increases; and providing for the submission of the proposed amendment to the electors of the City of Philadelphia.
Again, I just Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 the record that the legislation about the Charter change was co-sponsored by Councilmembers Mark Squilla and Kenyatta Johnson. Thank you very much.
Okay. Thank you, Councilman. I just want leave for the record -- I'm not sure who I'm supposed to ask or tell this to, because I've never done this before, but I will be leaving the Chamber. Nothing serious. I'll be leaving the Chamber, but I just want to be recorded as voting aye on all bills and resolutions today. All right. Thank you. It's my first time leaving before the session is over. Thank you. Folks, really, everything is okay. Perplexed looks on everybody's face.
The next order of business is reports from committees. The Chair recognizes Councilman Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 of the Committee of the Whole.

Durrell Lewis, commenting on 170956. (Witness approached podium.)
How y'all doing today? My name is Durrell Lewis. I'm 23 years old and I'm a warehouse worker at Sky Chef Philadelphia. I'm another Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 person who has been earning poverty wages for doing valuable work at Sky Chef. Let me tell you, it has been very grim and discouraging to work at Sky Chef for a long time now. If I and my co-workers had been granted the $12 minimum wage back in 2015, each of us would have earned something like $20,000 more by now. That kind of income could have changed our lives. It could have allowed us to be less exhausted, to have better housing, to improve our lives in so many ways. Three years later, Sky Chef is finally raising our pay to the level we should have reached years ago. We are pleased that Sky Chef has finally implemented wages that look more like airport wages, but I have to tell you, there is something painful when we have had to wait more than three years to finally have the chance to be given the respect of other airport workers. My co-workers have suffered Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 greatly because we have earned so little. Now that we are speaking before you, we are afraid that if you do not act to help us secure our future now, when we are no longer in the spotlight, our wages and our standard of living will get stuck again and the progress we have made will be lost over time. Please act on our behalf so we can know that we are treated as equals with everyone who makes the airport work. I know y'all understand the Eighth Amendment, right? Sky Chef don't treat us with the Eighth Amendment right. We get treated cruel and unusual punishment with the wages that we get. And that's all I got to say. Thank you. (Applause.)
Thank you. Clerk, could you read the name of our next speaker, please.
Vinud Subhana, commenting on 170956. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 (Witness approached podium.)
Hi, everyone. My name is Subhana Vinud. I work in the base room department at LSG Sky Chef. I have been there five years. I am here to tell you on behalf of all of my co-workers we are tired of being second-class citizens in the airport and the City that we serve. Without our (unintelligible) airline industry could not function. The kind of contract we have, RLA conduct, make it very hard for us to make demands in all the ways that most unions can. We absolutely need your help. As elected, your duties of our city to make sure that all workers in the City airport can move forward (unintelligible) and we are treated as equals. Sky Chef need to stop being associated with the poverty. We should be guaranteed a minimum standard that recognize that (unintelligible) of us. Thank you for the hearings. Thank you. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 (Applause.)
Thank you so much. Clerk, would you read our next speaker, please.
Donarson McCarthy, commenting on 170956. (Witness approached podium.) MR. McCARTHY: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Donarson McCarthy. I work in the warehouse of Sky Chef Philadelphia. I'm today standing up for equality. I saw what happened in the City, helping the rest of the airport workers to move forward in 2015. Me and my co-workers, we are left. I will tell you that it makes me angry to hear airline Philadelphia boasting of making millions and billions of profit. Why do you send the plane off every day and accepting poverty job, because there hardly any money left for us. No city or country should stand Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 by allowing this kind of terrible equality. The country is better than that. Philadelphia is better than that. During my shift I see my workers working double from 5 o'clock to 10 o'clock. They working double to cover the cost all of the time. We are tired of working too hard and being poor. We also stand up for us and allow us to be treated as equality. I want to stand here to thank Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, because he was fighting with us tooth and nail so that we can get our raise. So we want to thank everybody to listen to us. God bless you. (Applause.)
Thank you. Clerk, would you read our next speaker, please.
Rosslyn Wuchinich, commenting on 170956. (Witness approached podium.)
My name is Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 Rosslyn Wuchinich. I'm the President of Unite Here Local 274, and I'm here with Donarson, Subhana, and Durrell and many other Sky Chef workers I'm going to ask to stand for a moment. (Audience members standing.) (Applause.)
There are workers at Sky Chef who are employed by LSG Sky Chef who prepare the meals, primarily for American Airlines at the Philadelphia International Airport, and we are here today thanks to the work of Councilman Johnson and the Committee on Commerce and Economic Development to close a loophole in the 21st century minimum wage law. We are very thankful to this body for making sure more and more workers are covered by that law, but the company that we are talking about today has been exploiting a loophole in that law that we are happy to finally close. I'll just take a minute to Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 explain what that is. LSG Sky Chefs, like many airline-related contracts, is governed by the Railway Labor Act. Bargaining contracts under the Railway Labor Act is very different from under the National Labor Relations Act. But currently the 21st century minimum wage law does not recognize the difference between those two laws. Under the Railway Labor Act, terms of a contract do not expire. They merely -- the terms of the contract merely become amendable in a long, federally mediated process where workers do not have the right to strike. So what that means is that workers under RLA contracts do not have the same options at their disposal to make sure that their contracts can adapt to local laws, like the 21st century minimum wage ordinance, upon a clear expiration of their existing contract terms, and that is the loophole that Sky Chefs for years has exploited. In December of 2017, the workers here Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 spoke of earning as little as $7.90 an hour. We believe that no company should have the unilateral and unending right to impose a wage below the City's minimum for other airport workers. This simple amendment that Councilman Johnson proposes closes the loophole for the RLA context and will ensure that workers seeking to be paid the minimum intended by this law will receive it now and for the years to come. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
Joe Danihel, commenting on 171131. (Witness approached podium.)
Yes. Good afternoon. This is an official decree of the people in writ of mandamus quo warranto and, as such, requires immediate Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 action and remedy. Every week Council, Mayor, and others transfer private property to the government, probably illegally. At a recent hearing to approve the Law Department head, was there a discussion between the Council President and the Law Department about filing additional lawsuits against the federal government? Was there instruction to conspire with the Commonwealth Attorney General? Is this why no investigation by the Attorney General about my stolen home? Are lawsuits expenses the highest and best use of limited taxpayer monies? Has Law Department defended officials charged with unlawful and oath-violating acts? In one of American's poorest big cities, taxpayer money must be used efficiently. Is there any RICO-style conspiracy to cover our unlawful acts? As public servants, you cannot violate oath, Constitution, and laws without penalty. Has Law Department Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 found missing hundreds of millions federal HUD monies? How can agents and agencies steal my home without compensation, due process or Seventh Amendment trial by jury? The constitutions required immediate remedy of this breach of law, breach of close, breach of fiduciary duty. Your oath of office requires you to act or face prison. 42 USC 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 18 USC 241, 242, 2381, 2384, PA Constitution, Article I, Sections 1 through 11, 26 PA CSA 703, 705, 708, 709, 712, 713, 716, and other laws listed in SCOTUS 15-8965, 14-1330, 14-4056 appear violated. I call for the federal and Commonwealth governments to perform their constitutional obligations to investigate and prosecute all involved in the theft and illegal deed transfer of my home, 1038 West Wyoming Avenue. The denial of God-given 42 USC 1982 property rights for Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 24 years is egregious, extraordinary, oath-violating, and requires immediate remedy. A just government must obey the rule of law. This color of law government must have its Charter to govern revoked until a constitutionally compliant government is installed. Public servants cannot refuse their sworn duty to act any more than a fireman can refuse to fight a fire. The sovereign people require oath, Constitution, and laws be enforced. Jail is required for all who violate oath, Constitution or law. I remind Council, it takes a lot of cooperation to create and allow monumental corruption. (Applause.)
Thank you. Clerk, can you read our next speaker, please.
Harry Barnum, commenting on 170854. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 (Witness approached podium.) MR. BARNUM (through interpreter): Good afternoon. It's past 12:00, so I'll say good afternoon to everyone. I work as a deaf advocate as a coordinator, and I'm talking about regarding the evictions of properties. And there's many different hard-of-hearing people, deaf, blind people, et cetera, who live in Philadelphia and can't afford to move, and they're being evicted because they're on Social Security and they can't afford other properties, and they're being evicted due to that. And the landlord is like, Get out, you can't afford it, get out. So it's really important. It's the same relation to the warehouse workers and the injustices that they're facing. This is an injustice to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. And it's really important that there's a town hall -- that you have a town hall so that Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 everybody can get together and brainstorm and you can hear some feedback and see -you can't jump to make any decisions, and landlords can't just evict someone. We really need to have an open discussion so that people can see the injustices that are faced. We faced oppression our entire heritage of the deaf community, and for generations we're been oppressed, and to evict people from their home because they rely on Social Security and they don't have the income, they can't just be evicted for that reason. You know, there's many opportunities for town halls within the hearing community, but there's never an opportunity to bring deaf people together to hear their feedback and their struggles and what they face every day here in Philadelphia. So there really needs to be a change in the laws or an amendment or something, and really this is where you come in, Councilmembers, to try to change Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 the wording to make it more appropriate and more equal for the deaf and hard-of-hearing to be able to live in the community as well. Thank you. (Applause.)
Thank you. Is there anyone else here, Clerk, that has signed up to provide comment on today's agenda? (No response.)
Seeing none, that concludes our public comment. The Chair now recognizes Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez, who is here today. Councilwoman, do you want to be recorded on any of the votes?
I'll stick around for the votes, but I have nothing for introduction.
I want to recognize that Councilwoman is with us here today. This brings us now to our Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 4/26/18 - STATED - 2ND READING Calendar. We will consider the bills and resolutions on the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendars. Clerk, would you please read the title of Resolution 180374.
A resolution calling upon the Congress of the United States to pass S. 1689, legislation offered by Senator Cory Booker, to federally decriminalize and otherwise improve public policy with relation to marijuana, introduced by Councilman Green.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. October 2nd of 2014 this body took the initiative to decriminalize small amounts of cannabis with 30 grams or less. That was done by then-Councilman Kenney, now our Mayor, and this body took real leadership. It was the largest city in the United States to actually decriminalize small amounts Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 4/26/18 - STATED - 2ND READING of marijuana. At that time, it was estimated about $7 million per year will be saved by taking this action. Just over the past three years, there have been 9,000 fewer arrests based on this legislation made by this body, which was about a 75 percent reduction. In addition, the ACLU has stated that African Americans are eight times more likely to be arrested than other ethnicities based on cannabis, and a number of other states throughout the country have decriminalized cannabis. Thirteen states, including the United States Virgin Islands, have decriminalized small amounts of cannabis, and you have 29 states in the country that allow medical cannabis and nine states allow recreational use. And the main push for that has been based on the number of ailments that various people around this country are dealing with, from autism, ALS, and cancer. And so cannabis has been very helpful for those Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 4/26/18 - STATED - 2ND READING who have been dealing with a number of ailments. However, at the federal level it is still a Schedule 1 drug. And so Senator Booker's bill, Senate Bill 1689, also known as the Marijuana Justice Act, sees to reverse decades of failed drug policy that has disproportionately impacted communities of colors. It will also allow us to use medical cannabis throughout the nation for those who are dealing with some of the ailments I discussed, like autism, ALS, and cancer, and I believe that following the leadership of this body, we now have an opportunity at the federal level to also decriminalize cannabis. I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)
It has been moved and properly seconded that the resolution be adopted. All those in favor signify by Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 4/26/18 - STATED - 2ND READING saying aye. (Aye.)

Are there any speeches on the part of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So Sundays at my house for the last couple of decades has been fish, grits, and politics. We get a chance to Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 a family format. I had to remind my daughter how far this goes back to the time when Wilson Goode was actually her elementary teacher at Gompers. You remember that, Councilman? So it goes back into a family tradition. Recent events ranging from the White House to the Waffle House have stimulated that kind of debate, particularly in the case of Starbucks. And so millennials have a tendency to be angry. We're angry. And they tend to believe nothing happened up until their arrival. Like when they got here, the revolution kind of started. And I had to remind them -- and David Dix, who is on Inside Story, helped me out with this, because he cited a manual, and it is called the Negro Motorist Green Book, the Negro Motorist Green Book. This book was established in 1936. It stayed in publication until 1966. It was developed Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 City mailman, not Birmingham, Alabama. New York City mailman. This was a response to the fact that African Americans, then Negros, had come into, some of them, the middle class and they were buying automobiles. And so the motor companies felt it was important, that it was vital at the time to let Negros know where, what towns, what hotels, what barber shops, there were no Starbucks, that they could stop in safely. So I want to remind us that we've come a long, long way, like when you have to make travel considerations by what town you are safe to bed your family, and even though it is not perfect, that there were mistakes made at that Starbucks and, therefore, policies will evolve, that this thing that my daughter was thinking about, this revolution, is actually a continuum and an evolution of thought. And calm minds working together, we're going to get Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 to get through this, because today my colleague acknowledged the 50th Anniversary of an important document to our history. Now, it's different if I introduce it, but Allan Domb introduced it, and that's significant today. And as we start to deal with today's challenges and how we deal with each other, it is comforting to me as an old head in my house during fish, grits, and politics that I can see far enough back to know what we have come from to where we are and where we have the potential, the potential to go if we work together. So every now and then you're going to get a hiccup. Every now and then there's going to be a setback, but it just renews the conversation about how human beings should treat one another irregardless of race, creed, sexual orientation. And I'm proud of us for that growth from the Negro Motorist Green Book days to now. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to talk about today something that's very near and dear to my heart, which is Cristo Rey. I know it's in Councilwoman Bass's district, Cristo Rey. And, Councilman Jones, it kind of coordinates with what you were speaking about earlier. In our public school system, 91 percent of our children have one parent, 89 percent are in poverty. Cristo Rey is a Roman Catholic high school in Philadelphia started in 2012. It's up on North Broad Street, but it's moving, I believe, to 17th and Allegheny, new headquarters. It's a Roman Catholic high school. But here's the differentiator of how the Cristo Rey method can dramatically change poverty in Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 applicants are from families of four with less than $35,000 of income. Last year they graduated 86 students, all seniors and all went to college. In the public school system it's about 66 percent. Cristo Rey was close to 100 percent. All went to college. These are from families of very low income and a lot of hard times, but here's the big factor of this: The Cristo Rey method, which isn't just for Philadelphia but this should be nationwide, every Cristo Rey student has to work one day a week from 9th to 12th grade in a job. I have four Cristo Rey students in my office, real estate office. I have four Cristo Rey students in City Council. The experience for these four kids is amazing. I've had some Cristo Rey children say to me, I've never been in an elevator or I've never been in a restaurant, I've never been exposed to people working like this. And yet the Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 business and connectivity is a lesson not just for Philadelphia but for the country, because Cristo Rey has the right method. The fact that all seniors are going to college, going to college, all of them, from homes of low income and where half the parents may not even be there, is just an amazing fact that we in the business community, we in government, and all of Philadelphians need to adopt this model in the public school system. And I'm saying this now because we're looking at making a very large investment in the public schools, which is great, but I'd like to see some of these measures that Cristo Rey has adopted adopted in the public school system. We should have our public high school students working one day a week in a job. Going to work one day a week in many cases is more valuable than sitting in a classroom and learning those skills. So having said that, sitting Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 one of my star Cristo Rey students, Ciara Rosario, who is a senior going to Swarthmore College next year. Ciara, you want to stand up, please. (Applause.)
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.
Thank you. Thank you, and I certainly appreciate the statements made by my colleagues Councilman Domb and Councilman Jones. All of you know that our month is about to end. We've been dealing with this amnesty program dealing with the Parking Authority, which ends on Monday, Monday being the 30th and Tuesday being May 1st. Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 over there, and today and yesterday they went over, and certainly by 8:30 you had more than 300 people lined up. Today there were so many people they had to lock the doors. Now, what they're saying is that they're going to give people dates so that they can come back and that they will be able to participate in this program. So we are certainly looking close to make sure that happens, and we are asking all of those who are out there listening to please make sure that you take advantage of this program, this parking amnesty program. We're near the end. Monday is the last day, and it certainly will make a big, big difference. So many people have called us and so many people are able to take advantage of this program, and we're asking you if you have traffic tickets or if you're not sure, you know that anything 2013 and before is forgiven. Feel free to call us. Feel free to go Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 there, and please take advantage of this opportunity. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson.
Thank you, Mr. Majority Leader/Mr. President for today. This past weekend, State Representative Jordan Harris, State Senator Anthony Hardy Williams, former Philadelphia Eagles player Connor Barwin, we dedicated a brand new multi-athletic baseball, football turf field in South Philadelphia, brand new basketball courts, brand new tot lot, rain garden, all for the children who live in the South Philadelphia part of my district across the street from a housing project called Wilson Park. And it was a great event, a great turnout, and it just reminds me that we are in the process of Stated Meeting April 26, 2018 of our parks and recreation facilities throughout the City of Philadelphia, and I noticed that our representatives on the Supreme Court found the time to free a young man by the name of Meek Mill. And nevertheless, I think that was great that they found some time to do that, but hopefully if they read the newspaper or they pay attention to what we're doing in City Council here in the City of Philadelphia, that they will take the same amount of time and read and make a decision regarding the brief to allow us to have funding to move forward as it relates to the sugar beverage tax that some of us in here voted for on behalf of the children here in the City of Philadelphia so they can have universal pre-K, so we can have more community schools but, most importantly, so we can move forward in revitalizing our parks and our recreational facilities here in the City of Philadelphia. Thank you very much, Stated Meeting April 26, 2018
Thank you, Councilman. Anyone else on majority or minority? (No response.)
That concludes our session. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Brown for a motion to adjourn.
