Good morning. We're going to get started. If the members will take their seats and if any visitors will retire behind the rail, we can get started.

Appreciate your cooperation. To give our invocation this morning, the Chair recognizes Bishop Garvin Floyd of Fellowship of Love Church of God. He is here today as the guest of Councilwoman Bass. I would ask all members, guests, and visitors to please rise. (Councilmembers, guests, and visitors rise.)

Let every heart pray. Father God, we come to you, creator and sustainer of life, ask you to Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 here, oh God. God, you know what we stand in need of before we began to enter into this place, God. God, we ask you to be with us, be with Philadelphia, oh God, with the gun violence and all the things that are taking place in our city, oh God. Help us to come together. Father, you said in your word in Proverbs 3:5 and 6 for us to lean not unto thine own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge you, oh God. We come acknowledging you, Lord, over everything - Lord, over our kids; Lord, over our streets; Lord, over this meeting, God. God, have your way in this place, oh God. Keep us, guide us, and lead us that we will do things according to your will and not our will, oh God. Father, we realize, oh God, if it wasn't for you, where would we be, oh God. I ask you right know in the Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Jesus Christ, the father, that you prick hearts and minds, dear father, and remind them, oh God, that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. We keep doing what we've been doing, we'll keep getting what we've been getting. Help us, oh God, to do something different. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen. (Amen.)

Would Mr. Davies and those accompanying him please join the Councilman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)

And joining Councilman Domb, we have Councilman Greenlee, Councilwoman Reynolds Brown, Councilwoman Parker, Councilman Green, Councilman Oh, Councilman Henon, and Councilman Jones.

All members of Council have supported this resolution and you're all invited to come up, if you'd like. So today, Dave, on behalf of all members of City Council, we welcome you today. We also welcome your wife, Myrna, and your sister, Donna. And today I asked some of your colleagues in the media their opinion of you, and from Pat Loeb, she said fair, Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 caring, and a mensch, and that's after 35 years, I understand, of a longstanding great relationship. Pretty amazing. And from Jake -- I'm calling you out, Jake. He said he's accurate. Really good. And from Hal, who is -- is Hal over here? Hal said to me -- I didn't know this -- you're a scratch golfer and a shortstop. Pretty amazing. And from all my members of Council who I spoke to about Dave Davies, the common comment from everyone was fair, honest, and accurate. I don't think you can get better than that. So today we're honoring and congratulating Dave Davies on his retirement from WHYY's news desk and recognizing his excellence in journalism.

And whereas, after 37 years reporting on Philadelphia politics using facts versus sensationalism, currently with WHYY, Dave Davies is stepping away from his work at the news desk as a senior reporter; Stated Meeting June 20, 2019

Whereas, Mr. Davies, throughout his tenure in Philadelphia political reporting, is known for his tenacious investigations and fair reporting;

Whereas, prior to his career at WHYY, Mr. Davies worked as a City Hall reporter for the Daily News for 19 years;

Whereas, Mr. Davies also reported on City Hall with KYW News Radio;

And whereas, Dave Davies epitomized what I call a possibility thinker. Before he was a journalist, Mr. Davies was also a welder, a cab driver, a teacher as a young man finding his path in the City;

Whereas, Mr. Davies has covered many historic moments of Philadelphia politics; and

Whereas, Mr. Davies has an unassailable reputation for fairness and excellence in journalism Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 side of the aisle;

Whereas, Mr. Davies upholds and teaches the fundamentals of journalism in modern times by encouraging the most important fact of all, all reporters to check their facts and give voice to every side of an issue;

Whereas, Mr. Davies will continue his presence on WHYY's award-winning program, Fresh Air with Terry Gross;

Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the City Council of Philadelphia that Dave Davies is honored and congratulated on his retirement from the news desk and for his excellent reporting on Philadelphia politics over the last nearly four decades. Congratulations. (Applause.)

And Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Davies for remarks.

Thank you, Council President. This is a little overwhelming. I want to thank Councilman Domb for the honor of this resolution and thank all of you who did not object when the voice vote was held. Appreciate that. I know from many years sitting at that press table that nobody wants a long speech on the last day before recess, so I will be brief. I want to say a couple of things, though, about this body and you members. One is that I really appreciate what you do; that is to say, the challenges that you face. The City has a lot of needs, and resources are always thin and the politics are tough and the policy questions are tough, and I appreciate the way that you grapple with them day in and day out, and I encourage you as you do that to think broadly, Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 what this piece of legislation does today, but how it fits in with the City's tax structure and the regulatory structure and the real abilities of government, and use all of that when you're thinking about where we're going. I also want to say that although people love to make fun of Philadelphia politicians, and we've had our moments for sure, people don't appreciate the procedures by which this body considers legislation are far more deliberative and transparent than you will find in legislative bodies elsewhere. In Washington, senators can anonymously put a hold on legislation. Anonymously. In Harrisburg, they can run through a piece of far-reaching consequential legislation in hours in the middle of the night. You remember what happened when the leadership of the Parking Authority changed hands back in, Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 that, 2003? It happens. That doesn't happen here, right? You introduce a bill. There is a hearing. It is advertised. When it is enacted, it must be read in final form at least twice a week in succession, typically three times. And I think it's a little messy and it takes a little longer, but I have seen over years and years of covering this body that it results in better legislation, and I think people should know that. I also just want to say that I think it's a good thing that unlike some national figures, you don't mock those who cover you as purveyors of fake news or enemies of the people. You know that by and large the people who cover you believe in the City, work hard, and want to get it right. And so I think it will take your best efforts and their best efforts to ensure that democracy continues in the City and that local government is responsive. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 wish you good judgment, good staff, good partners in Harrisburg -- fingers crossed on that, right -- and a good national economy, because it makes things so much better here. I've lived here for 44 years. I mean, since Frank Rizzo was Mayor and Joan Krajewski occupied Councilman Henon's seat. So I've been around a while, and I'm still here, and what you do will be of interest and consequence to me, and so I will continue to follow it and I wish you all good luck, and thank you again for this honor. (Applause.)

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

Thank you and, again, congratulations. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Taubenberger, who Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 to Jim Donnelly to thank him for his military service. Would Mr. Donnelly and those accompanying him please join the Councilman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)

And joining Councilman Taubenberger, we have Councilwoman Cherelle Parker, Councilman Domb, Councilman O'Neill.

Council President, thank you for recognizing me. This also is a special honor, because it's part of the Philadelphia story. As a child of immigrants coming from a place where there was really at that time no freedom, no one could speak up, no one would dare demonstrate, it means a lot to me to honor any serviceman, because this freedom isn't free. The Taubenberger family knows that firsthand. Coming from Germany in the Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 1930s, there was nothing said about freedom. No one spoke up. No one could speak up in fear of your lives. Honoring and recognizing Jim Donnelly for his service in the United States Navy.

The Council of the City of Philadelphia is pleased and proud to honor and recognize Jim Donnelly for his loyal and dedicated service to our country.

And whereas, Jim Donnelly has served our country by enabling the United States military to perform its functions overseas and at home by providing a wide range of services for the communities where he has been stationed; and

Whereas, each serviceperson knows that they risk their lives in battle, and in every war there are acts of extraordinary courage where an individual goes beyond what is expected to avert conflict, save lives, Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 mission. The acts of those individuals through feats of courage, nobility of purpose, or life-risking situations make them true heroes, and we proudly call Jim Donnelly a hero;

On a point of personal privilege, Mr. Donnelly was in Vietnam not once but twice. That's something that's very important to know. Therefore, by virtue of this citation, the Council of the City of Philadelphia does hereby honor and recognize Jim Donnelly for his loyal and dedicated service to our country. With appreciation, we extend the sincere respect and admiration of this legislative body. Mr. Donnelly, congratulations. (Applause.)

And the Chair recognizes Mr. Donnelly for remarks. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019

Thank you so much, everybody. I first would like to thank President Clarke and Mr. Taubenberger for nominating me and the rest of the City Councilpeople for letting me stand before you. I did my service. I loved every minute of it, believe it or not. I went back for more. Seventy years old, still standing here, and I think I'm going to stay a little longer. So thank you so much for allowing me to be here. Appreciate it. (Applause.)

Council will be at ease.

And also Mrs. Donnelly. There's always somebody behind the commander-in-chief, and in this case Mr. Donnelly is a very lucky man, Mrs. Donnelly. (Applause.)

Thank you. Council will be at ease. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 (Council at ease.)

Thank you and, again, congratulations, and thank you for your service. Our next order of business is communications, and the Chair requests that the Sergeant-of-Arms delivers the messages from the Mayor to the Chief Clerk. Mr. Decker, please read those messages.

Thank you, Council President. The resolution honoring Captain Maximilian Clark gives me special pride, because I knew him as a young boy growing up in Burholme. He's a fantastic young fella. He works hard, but he's also very, very much part of the Philadelphia story. It should really be noted how important that command is. The United Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 States Navy has only 11 United States aircraft carriers, one of which is the USS Nimitz. But it's also a story of diversity, inclusion, and immigrants. I am very, very proud to say that Ms. Heidi Clark is born in Germany in the city of Ralfing by Munsingen (ph). Her husband, Harry Clark, is a veteran of the United States Army serving in Vietnam. Maximilian Clark is a graduate of Northeast High. Philadelphia should be very, very proud that Maximilian Clark continues this very important commitment to the Navy, something the City has had from the very beginning when the Navy was born. And one other note, there are two very important German Americans who made the victory in World War II essential, Eisenhower and Nimitz. And having a son of a German immigrant take command of the USS Nimitz, himself being a son of Germany, is something very, very special indeed. And I would like Mr. and Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Mrs. Clark to stand up and be recognized by this body. (Applause.)

And I thank all my colleagues for co-sponsoring this resolution. Thank you, Mr. President.

The ayes have it, and these bills will be placed on our First Reading Calendar today. That concludes our reports from committee. And our next order of business is consideration of the Calendar. I note that the bills just reported from committee with a suspension of the rules have been deemed to have had a first reading. They will be on our next session of Council's Final Passage. Mr. Decker, please read any other bills on our First Reading Calendar today. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 6/20/19 - STATED - 1ST READING

Bill No. 190233, entitled "An ordinance continuing the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District beyond its termination date, in an area that generally includes both sides of East Passyunk Avenue from the south side of Federal Street to the east side of South Broad Street, certain blocks of streets that intersect that portion of East Passyunk Avenue, both sides of South Broad Street from the north side of McKean Street to the north side of Snyder Avenue, and the west side of South Broad Street from the south side of Mifflin Street to the north side of McKean Street for which East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, Incorporated, a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation, is the Neighborhood Improvement District Management Association for the District."

The Chair agrees. This bill will be placed on our Second Reading and our Final Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 6/20/19 - STATED - 1ST READING Passage Calendar at our next session of Council. Before we move on to our next, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Bass.

Thank you, Mr. President. I'd just like to take a moment to recognize two young women who will be with my office through August, Ms. Justice Taggart and Arian Taggart. And we also have a special volunteer with us today named Miriam Stewart. Miriam is heading to 9th grade at Penn Charter, and Justice is a rising senior at Central High School, and Arian is a rising junior at Bodine. They both come to our office through the Philadelphia Youth Network, an organization that helps our young people prepare for the workforce. PYN prepares year-round -- provides year-round work-ready employment programming and educational initiatives for in-school and out-of-school children and young adults age 12 to 24. PYN is an Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 community partner, and I'm proud to have two of their smart, hard-working students in my office this summer. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, Councilwoman. (Applause.)

Congratulations. Thank you for being here. We appreciate it. The Chair now recognizes Councilman Henon for a motion concerning the bills on the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar today.

Thank you, Mr. President. I move that the rules of Council be suspended as to permit the use of a Consent Agenda to consider the following bills on Second Reading and Final Passage Calendars today. They are Bill Nos. 190099-A, 190457-A, 190458-A, 190462-A, 190444-A, 190181, 190232, 190250, 190254, 190256, 190305, 190306, Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 190311, 190312, 190313, 190356, 190359, 190360, 190361, 190362, 190380, 190470, 190408, 190409, 190415, 190435, 190437, 190443, 190447, 190448, 190229, 190358, 190383, 190384, 190385, 190412, 190431, 190432, 190433, 190439, 190440, 190441, 190442, 181006, 190455, 190461, and 190378. (Duly seconded.)

Thank you, Councilman Henon. Before considering these bills and resolutions that are on the Final Passage Calendar today -- a little housekeeping. It's been moved and seconded that the rules of Council be suspended to permit the use of a Consent Agenda to consider the bills just read by Councilman Henon. All those in favor indicate by saying aye. (Aye.)

Those opposed? Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 2ND READING (No response.)

The ayes have it, the motion carries, and we will consider the Consent Agenda shortly. The Chair again recognizes Councilman Henon 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 bills 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 Bill Nos. 190566, 190567, 190568, 190569, 190571, 190572, 190573, 190574, 190575, 190576, 190577, 190579, 190580, 190584, 190467-A, 190253. All other bills and resolutions are being held.

Thank you, Councilman. Okay. Thank you. Before considering these resolutions and bills, Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 we will consider public comment as follows: Today we're going to try to accommodate everybody possible. We have a significant number of individuals who want to testify today. I just want for the record, I know there's a number of people that I believe would like to speak about the issue relating to police postings and you've indicated on the list, using the newest tradition, where you put down something else such as school suspension to get to what you really want to speak on. So because there has been a resolution that is introduced that is on the Final Passage Calendar today, you can speak about the issue as it relates to police posting. So we don't have to segue into what you really want to talk about. All right? Now, I know you all like that part. Now, look, I understand. I know what goes on. It's all good, though. The other issue is, though, we Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 have a lot of people that want to speak, and under the rules, it allows us to cut off same subject matter. I don't want to do that. I want to make sure that everybody that's come down has an opportunity to speak. So I'm going to have to limit your time to two minutes. And best possible, if you can just alter your conversation as best as possible to reflect a two-minute time limit. Because I know a lot of people came down and there's some very important things on the agenda today. So I want to make sure everything has a chance. Okay? So when your name is called, you will go to the middle of the Chambers. For those of you that have not been here before, that podium in the middle has a device on it. When the light turns green on that device, it will be your time to speak. When the light turns yellow, you will have 30 seconds to conclude your remarks, so we please ask you to kind of start wrapping it up. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 When the light turns red, we would ask that you please adhere to the guidelines and conclude your remarks. Again, we want to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to speak, so we please ask you to adhere to the guidelines. Thank you very much for your consideration. And, Mr. Decker, if you could call the first name on the list.

Imam Isa Mateen. (Witness approached podium.)

My name is Imam Isa Mateen. Regarding the bill about suspending students, suspending the school students, we don't need our children suspended walking the streets where they will be committing crimes or Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 just getting into problems, being picked up by police, and we know there's a problem with the police. We don't need that. The police are not concerned with our youth. They have no confidence in the police. The police -- with this 300 police making these statements, no one believe there's only 300 police. In fact, the entire Fraternal Order of Police, in the view of us, is a criminal organization that should be prosecuted under the RICO Act. (Applause.)

They are in line with a global white supremacist terrorist network that is responsible -- that is in line with the people responsible for bombing churches, shooting up mosques in New Zealand. This network exists in our Police Department, and we don't want to turn our youth over to this terrorist network. We want the police to be -- it Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 really should be disbanded and replaced, because all the FOP does is protect criminal cops, racist cops, white supremacist cops. (Applause.)

So we are not in favor of turning our youth over to be arrested, beaten, and assaulted by the police. (Applause.)

Thank you so much for your testimony.

Tiffany Green. (Witness approached podium.)

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. I just want to start off, we're opposed to Bill 190356. The reason why we're opposed to this, because the fact that this is a market-rate development that will be moved in. And the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission staff said they do not support this project. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 When have you ever known the Planning Commission staff not to support a new development? They said it would lead to displacement and housing price increases. I'm calling on some of our Councilpeople to give us a postponement. The black community was shut out of all meetings. If this was such a wonderful project, why didn't our Councilman tell us this during reelection? Why didn't he say, hey, we gonna have a development with $750 apartments? No, because $750 is a studio apartment. They forgot to tell you that. $1,200 is one-bedroom all the way up to 1,800. Do you care the fact that these complexes will speed up gentrification in poor areas? Do you care if the fact that the rents will increase in the black areas going all the way back? Do you care that the fact that the developers will try to target Wilson Park, PHA, and all of the black areas? Do you care that newcomers will come and dictate and Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 control the area with RCOs, excluding black and low-income people from policing -- with over-policing and racial profiling? They will make the poor people feel like they're unwanted down there. I appreciate everybody here for police brutality, but this is housing brutality when a child is uprooted from their neighborhood, from their school, from their friends, and they're placed in a shelter. Do you know what the mental anguish is on that, to understand that you are no longer -- that you're in a shelter? That is mental anguish, and that is housing brutality. We must address this. We are asking you to give us a postponement. Let us speak with this developer. (Applause.)

When you give him an overlay, when you give him an overlay, he never comes back. He doesn't have to accept the community engagement. He Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 doesn't have to go through the community process, and it gets rid of the ZBA process. Give us a postponement and let us speak with the developer so we can minimize gentrification --

Thank you, Ms. Green.

-- in our neighborhood. Thank you.

Thank you. (Applause.)

Laverne Johnson, commenting on 190356. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 (Witness approached podium.)

Good afternoon, everybody.

Good afternoon.

I would like to speak on the Bill 190357. Laverne Johnson. That's who I am. And to our Councilman, we feel very appalled that we were not invited to any of the meetings about that project in South Philadelphia. We are extremely appalled, because the Italian neighborhood was invited to a meeting. We didn't find out about the meeting until it's now two weeks ago Thursday, and we really are very upset about that. We need to meet with the developer. We need to meet with the developer. I think again and again and again, this is just outrageous to our community, and we just don't -- we're not going to stand for it. We are not going to stand for it. We are totally upset Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 about that. And I believe it's plantation politics. That's what it is, plantation politics. (Applause.)

Business as usual. And another thing I would like to say, I appreciate everybody being honored. Everybody needs to be honored, but I believe that City Council need to take all that somewhere else. This is City time and it's City business, and business as usual gotta go. It gotta go. Even the man of God said it this morning, business as usual must go. It has to go. And God knows everybody needs to be honored, but I believe you need to take it at another place at another time and let us deal with business, City business. I am appalled at City Council at the very moment. I really am. My soul is upset with City Council right now. Business as usual gotta go. It's too serious out here. The police are Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 hurting -- my 13- and 14-year-old boys, they don't know nothing about crime. They really don't. Innocent children. And they got stopped on Memorial Day for, what is it, what do you call it, what do you call it when they touch the children? They said they -- stop and frisk, that's what it was. They always --

Ma'am.

-- see the children.

Ma'am, thank you.

And that's what they call it. They said that somebody else just got robbed somewhere. Stop and frisk. (Applause.)

Thank you. Thank you for your testimony.

Ethel Wise, commenting on 190356. (Witnesses approached podium.) Stated Meeting June 20, 2019

Good afternoon.

Ethel Wise. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Good afternoon, President of Council, and good afternoon, Council. We, the residents of Wilson Park Resident Council, support the 2301 Oregon Avenue Shopping Center. The Resident Council of Wilson Park currently helps over 680 residents in the housing development located in the heart of South Philadelphia. The 2301 Oregon Avenue Shopping Center will benefit the residents and community tremendously. The new development of the shopping center will provide several jobs for the residents and the community. The residents of Wilson Park and the community will be close to home while making a better life for their families by becoming employed. We would sincerely appreciate City Council's support of our decision in supporting 2301 Oregon Avenue Shopping Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Center. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, the Wilson Park Resident Council.

Thank you. Thank you for your testimony. (Applause.)

Claudia Sherrod, commenting on 190356. (Witness approached podium.)

Hello. My name is Claudia Smith-Sherrod and I come here representing Bill No. 190356. I am in full support of the 23rd and Oregon Shopping Center. I have lived in this community for well over 60 years, and I've seen the deterioration of this facility, and I think it's a great, great project and I am 1,000 percent in support of it. The key businesses that are staying are Shop Rite, Ross, Modell's, LA Fitness, Rainbow, and Dunkin Donuts. There'll be others, and I'm excited about Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 it, because I still like shopping. New stores are being brought in to fill in vacant spaces and creating 210 new jobs. The parking lot and property boundaries will be landscaped, greening the properties with trees and other plants. The Economic Opportunity Plan has diversity goals exceeding City targets, 40 percent minority and women participation in the construction. You can't ask for much more. I mean, I'm just excited. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you for your testimony.

One other comment, if I didn't overstate my time. I think that in terms of the Police Department, Article 6, Section 1-10 should be read and the police should be fired. (Applause.)

Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Thank you for your testimony.

Solomon Jones. (Witness approached podium.) (Applause.) (Audience members chanting "No justice, no peace.")

If you are here -thank you, thank you, thank you. We are here at Philadelphia -

Hold on, folks.

We are here as Philadelphians because we pay taxes. We are here as Philadelphians because this ornate Chamber with the gold inlay and with the marble and with the carpet, this is ours, and everybody in here works for us. And so we support Derek Green's resolution calling for hearings on the racist police who posted on Facebook and who said openly that they hate the people whose communities they patrol. We are here on behalf of our wives and our children. We are here on Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 behalf of our husbands, our sons. We are here on behalf of the people, because we will not have racist police patrolling our streets. Now -(Applause.)

City Council, many of you are friends. Many of you I have worked with. Last time I was here, you were recognizing me. I am now here to recognize the fact that you work for us. (Applause.)

I am here now to recognize the fact that Derek Green only has ten co-sponsors on that resolution. Where are the rest? All of you work for us. We need you standing up for us. So we will not stand for you sitting down on this issue. We will see you at election time if you are not supporting this resolution. (Applause.)

We need all of you Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 standing up together on this issue and making sure that our communities are safe. That's what we sent you here for. Not to recognize me or anybody else. We sent you here to represent the people. We need you representing the people. We need you standing up on this issue. We need you telling the police that you stand with us and not with anybody else. (Applause.)

We need to be protected in this issue by our people. And so we are not asking. We are not imploring. We are demanding, City Council, that you stand up on this issue. (Applause.)

And the last thing I want to say, on behalf of my wife and my children, on behalf of my neighbors and all of the people who I love, on behalf of everyone here in the City of Philadelphia, no justice. AUDIENCE MEMBERS: No peace. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019

No justice. AUDIENCE MEMBERS: No peace.

No justice. AUDIENCE MEMBERS: No peace.

No racist. AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Police.

Peace.

Thank you. (Applause.)

Okay. Let's go through the list. Thank you so much for your testimony.

Alyn Waller. (Applause.) (Witness approached podium.)

I stand in support of the bill being offered by Derek Green and I stand in support of the words already offered by Solomon Jones. All of us are here because we know what is right. You know what is right. We expect you to do what is right. The reality is, we cannot Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 afford this type of police behavior in our community. Everyone has stood up. We have not heard from you yet. We expect to hear from you, but not only in voice but also in deed. Thank you.

Thank you, Pastor. (Applause.)

Thank you for your testimony, Reverend.

Mark Tyler. (Applause.) (Witness approached podium.)

Good afternoon.

Thank you very much. We come standing as a coalition, Rally for Justice. We want to thank Solomon Jones for calling all of us together. Today we stand -- I stand on behalf of the Live Free Campaign of POWER. We're joined with Black Clergy of Philadelphia, National Action Network, Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 NAACP, Guardian Civic League, Philadelphia Student Union. We stand with those who we've named and those who are also nameless, who also come out today to bring attention to the Plain View Project. If you've not seen it, I urge you to go to plainviewproject.org. There you will find some of the most hateful, vile speeches you ever seen, not just by anyone but by 328 Philadelphia police officers. We've heard from the Mayor. We met with him, and he expressed to us his outrage and displeasure. We heard from the Commissioner, who similarly was upset and outraged and has backed it up by taking 72 persons off the streets, and we hope that they'll soon not only be off the streets, but also be fired. (Applause.)

And yet strangely we've not heard from this Council in a unanimous body. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 We appreciate the efforts of those individuals who have presented resolutions and bills. We stand in support of the bill by Councilmember Green and by the efforts of Councilmembers Jones and -- Curtis and also Gym, but we need to hear and see the same energy by this body that it put into muting R. Kelly, who does not live in Philadelphia, who does not patrol the streets of Philadelphia, who has never stopped and frisked anyone in Philadelphia. If this body can unanimously vote to mute R. Kelly, certainly it can do the same for the 328. (Applause.)

Let me just say this before I take my seat: Maybe some of you are quiet because you haven't seen the posts. Here's one of the greatest hits: Death to Islam. Here's another that says that black folk -blacks just seem to don't want to listen to police, have violent tendencies like Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 jungle animals. And if you didn't need incentive enough, this is what they said about your Council colleague, Cindy Bass, that someone should shut and smack this stupid in the mouth. If you won't stand up for the City, stand up for your colleague. Thank you.

Thank you. (Applause.) (Audience members chanting "No justice, no peace.")

Okay. Thank you. Next name.

Paula Peebles. (Witness approached podium.)

No justice. AUDIENCE MEMBERS: No peace.

No racist police. I want to thank City Council for giving us this opportunity. Thank you, Mr. President. But I'm standing Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 here in solidarity with my colleagues that have already spoken, and I join them in thanking WURD and citizen Solomon Jones for bringing us together. It's a total disgrace what has been revealed to us, but we know the Lord works in strange ways, and that's why it has been revealed to us. And we won't be quiet. We won't let it just be swept under the rug like it has been done so many times by the FOP and the police. But you all that know me know I always talk about economics, so I'm going to interject that. The police get paid by our real estate and tax dollars. (Applause.)

So we asking those other Councilpeople that have not joined this effort to be smart and join the effort that call for these police to be removed. It's a disgrace what they have -- the blood that they have revealed Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 and this action being smeared on the City of Philadelphia. But also as a Philadelphian, I'm proud that Philadelphia is leading the way, because there are eight other cities, there were eight other cities identified, but we are leading the way in relationship to what you should do when your police reveal to you that in fact they don't like those who they police. And what we saying is, no problem, we'll give you your exit, but you going to exit without our tax dollars. (Applause.)

We refuse, we refuse to continue to pay their salary. This is a diverse city, and if you don't want to serve a diverse population, then you need to go where they're all white people of your kind. We will not back down. We are going to give the Mayor -- and I'm going to sit down -- the Mayor and the Police Commissioner the time that we indicated Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 to them yesterday, but that's it and then we're going to move on with the next step. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

No justice. AUDIENCE MEMBERS: No peace. (Audience members chanting "No justice, no peace.")

Thank you. Next name.

Rochelle Bilal. (Applause.) (Witness approached podium.)

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Councilman, Councilpeople, whatever your new name is. First of all, let me thank y'all for at least allowing us. I am in support of Councilperson Derek Green's proposal. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Let me say this: I am a 27-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department. I am a black woman in this city, and I am appalled that any of my colleagues can make a statement about people that live here in this city. If we have 11 Councilpeople sign on and the rest of y'all aren't, then there's a problem with you. (Applause.)

There's no way, no way that anybody should be comfortable with that. There's no way, no way that you should be sitting here silent. If you are afraid, go home. I'm saying right now, that's a shame. I'm appalled. I'm ashamed. And for the good cops, it damages us. It damages us. There are a lot of good police that do a lot of good work in the City, on and off duty. Right now we are embarrassed and we are ashamed, and this is damaging the good work that all of us in this city do. It damages the trust. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Do you know how long it's been that people like us, black cops, Hispanic cops, good white cops, all cops been working to build that trust? And for a few of us to think that they can just say anything they want about us? I am a Muslim, and I'll be damned if I let you tell me what you going to do to me being in this city. I'm a taxpayer. I'm a mother. Are you kidding me? If the rest of you don't sign on it, you need to go home. (Applause.)

Thank you. Thank you for your testimony.

Gregory Holston. (Applause.) (Witness approached podium.)

Good afternoon.

My name is Reverend Gregory Holston. I'm the Executive Director of POWER. I stand with Reverend Mark Tyler, the Live Free Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 team of POWER and also stand with Solomon Jones and the Rally for Justice requesting that this -- demanding that this bill be passed, this resolution be passed. I can't say enough. It is deeply rooted in what it means to be a Philadelphian, what it means to be an African American Philadelphian, the relationship with the Police Department. From the very first I can remember the image of seeing the Black Panthers stripped when I was just six years old, it gave me a message of how black people were treated in this city, and every event that happened since then, every event from a bomb being dropped on a community to police brutality, to the 39th police precinct, to stop and frisk, all gave the same image, the same message, you are less than human, you are less than a person, you are an animal, you are worthless. That message has been sent over and over, and finally we see it Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 actually written before us in a Facebook post that, yes, really you are just an animal to us. And our response is not to do anything? Our response is not to stand up? Our response is not to use every level of power that exists in your hands to move and fire those police officers right away? How dare you not use every bit of power you have to make a change in this city? (Applause.)

We shouldn't have to come and request just a resolution or just a hearing, but there should already be a bill. There already should be some law. You should be going to Harrisburg to change the arbitration system to allow you to fire these cops on the spot. That should happen right now. You should be fighting for us. This is our children. This is our babies. This is our -- won't you stand up today for us.

Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Thank you. (Applause.) (Audience members chanting "No justice, no peace.")

Hold on, folks. Next name.

George Gould, commenting on 180936. (Witness approached podium.)

Thank you. My name is George Gould.

Hold on. Quiet, please. Please respect the speakers, please. Respect the speakers, please.

My name is George Gould. I'm a Senior Attorney at Community Legal Services. I'm here to speak about Bill 180936. This is a very important lead bill. It amends the current lead-safe certification law, which was supposed to protect children Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 from lead poisoning, but we have found and the Health Department, the Law Department has found that it's unenforceable because they don't know when children six or under are moving into a property. The bill that is currently before Council is a terrific bill. It is a very effective bill, and it was scheduled to be voted on June 13th. Unfortunately this bill has been delayed until September. Twenty-two hundred children get lead poisoned in Philadelphia every year. We are extremely concerned about this delay. We have heard numerous reasons why the bill has to be delayed. We have been working on it for 18 months. One of the first reasons was, we have to find common ground with landlords and real estate people. There is no common ground when you talk about children being lead poisoned. We also heard that there's some Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 wrinkles in the bill, that there's some maybe enforcement issues. When there was testimony in committee about this bill, the Health Department and L&I made it abundantly clear that they will set up a system where L&I will have access to the Health Department database and they will know whether or not there's been a lead certification issued. If not, they will not give a rental license. The other question was, well, how do you notify landlords about the two bills. Also testimony from the Health Department, easy, you just send them letters. Thank you. This bill needs to get passed. (Applause.)

Jana Curtis, commenting on 180936. (Witness approached podium.)

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 My name is Jana Curtis. I'm here in support of Bill 180936. Many of you know the story of my daughter's lead poisoning from the Inquirer's Toxic City series. I'm here on behalf of my daughter and the 1,200 members of Get the Lead Out and every mother I've met with in the last two years, coaching them through the scary days after finding out your kid has been poisoned. Because let's face it, it's moms who bear this burden. There is a sexism in lead poisoning prevention work that sickens me and should sicken every one of you members of City Council. If you saw Kamau Bell's piece on CNN on Sunday, he talks about how lead poisoning is a man-made problem, and that came from a conversation with me. It's male-dominated industries that brought lead into our everyday lives, and it's male-dominated industries that are keeping it there. It's the male-dominated landscape of landlords and Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 developers who continue to poison our babies. But instead of endangering a man's profit, what we do as a city is, we hand a mop to a worried momma and we tell her if she can clean good enough, then she can protect her baby. It's unacceptable that this practice continue. In no other industry would you be allowed to bring a product to market that poisons 2,200 kids year after year. But here in Philly, this Council just shrugs at it. When I sat down for my interview with Kamau from CNN, he asked me about the Philly shrug, and I did what any good Philadelphian would do. I fought back. But this Council's inaction on Bill 180936 is proving that Kamau may know Philly better than we know ourselves. It has been 1,639 days since my daughter's first elevated blood test, and not one day has passed where I haven't Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 worried about her future. You are leaving behind babies by delaying this vote. Many of you have children. Remember the first time you held that baby in your arms. I'm asking you to stop shrugging at 180936. Vote now and vote yes as written. Thank you.

Thank you. (Applause.)

Thank you for your testimony.

Pay Up PPA is dedicated to fighting for an annual, recurring Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 revenue stream of at least $25 million to the Philadelphia School District from the Philadelphia Parking Authority. The formation of Pay Up PPA was in reaction to the many scandals at the PPA, which came to light through reports in the Philadelphia Inquirer and in the Pennsylvania Auditor General audit of the Authority. Since January 2018, we have attended every PPA Board meeting and provided public comment in support of our demands for annual School District funding and increased transparency and accountability for PPA. We have also reached out to local and state officials receiving public support from the Auditor General for our efforts to hold PPA accountable. In addition to the many examples of the PPA's failures of transparency and good government found in the report of the Auditor General, one of its top lines was around rate increases. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 Quoting from the audit directly, The PPA lacks formal methodology and procedures for determining the necessity of rate and fee increases which affect its contributions to the School District. This was in regard to a 2014 request to increase parking penalties in front of City Council. When the increases went into effect, they failed to net the revenue promised to the Philadelphia School District, which was $7.5 million annually. As City Council debates Bill 190467, we are here to remind City Council that allowing PPA to increase penalties without analysis is business as usual. Pay Up PPA supports the sunset provision within this legislation. This gives City Council some ability to oversee PPA revenue generated by any potential rent increases.

Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 (Applause.)

Stephanie Watkins, commenting on 190441. (Witness approached podium.)

Good evening. My name is Stephanie Watkins. This is my first time here. I'm here standing for the homeless in the City of Philadelphia. I just became homeless myself, a woman that has worked most of my life, and we have absolutely no help in finding housing coming across hard times, not much income. There's women in the shelters that suffer from sicknesses such as AIDS, cancer, and someone there is absolutely Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 no help to help us find sustainable housing or low-income housing. We have -- we face many issues in those shelters and we feel like our backs is against the wall, because those that we speak to only defend their jobs within the shelters. So I stand here now to ask that that issue of not having much income -low-income housing be addressed for the shelters in the City of Philadelphia. (Applause.)

Thank you.

William H. Mgiles Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 is my full name. I actually came to speak on Bill No. 190575. I feel as though that I'm for this bill. Why? Because at the end of the day, we do need poverty reduction. The situation that I'm in now is because of my impoverished state. Now, I've been to this program called RISE, which is the Mayor's program, and we were promised to be placed in jobs. I completed at least four certificates out of this program, and like I have no jobs. I'm sitting here with no job. And I'm in a situation now to whereas I'm in a halfway house where they literally try and nail me to the cross because I have no job and I'm not able to provide them with proof of income. I literally walk the streets and I sell oils. I sell body oils in order to provide for myself. They claim that I'm doing something along the lines of criminality. You dig what I'm saying? Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 In order for me to provide for myself, wash my clothes at this halfway house, buy a soda and provide for my son, I walk around and I sell these oils, but yet I have staff in the halfway house literally trying to stop me from going out of this halfway house in order so that they can see me in a bad situation. They literally dropped what is called the state indictment on me because they think that I'm out there selling drugs and doing wrong things, and they took my Social Security card, my state ID. I had to get all this stuff over. Why? Because they want to see me in a bad position.

All right. Thank you, sir. Thank you. (Applause.)

Call the next name, please, Mr. Decker.

Maria del Carmen. (Witnesses approached podium.)

Good afternoon. MS. DEL CARMEN DIAZ (through interpreter: So good afternoon. I'm Maria del Carmen Diaz. I'm from Mexico and I have worked as a house cleaner, nanny, and taking care of older people for 24 years. I'm a leader with the Pennsylvania Domestic Workers Alliance. I'm here in support of the resolution put forward by the Councilwoman Maria Quinones to celebrate the International Domestic Workers Day. There's 16,000 of us here in Philadelphia and 67 million throughout the world. As a worker, we live a lot of difficult things. Sometimes we're not paid for the work that we do. We don't have any benefits, like sick time, vacation time, or health insurance. There's a lot of racism, and we're not Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 treated as equals. This is why we need a lot of changes and with this resolution for International Domestic Workers Day and the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights that is being considered as well. We want to thank the Councilmembers who have been supporting us, as well as the Kenney Administration for your support, and we look forward to that support and your vote so we can win this year.

Thank you. Thank you. (Applause.)

Shelly Yanoff. SERGEANT-OF-ARMS: You called Barnett?

Eric Barnett. (Witness approached podium.)

Arnett Woodall, independent for Mayor. I want to speak on that poverty bill, and that poverty bill directly Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 relates to the police thing that we have going on, because accountability not being applied. We want to know how many taxpayer dollars are now going to be wasted because none of these police officers will be able to testify before none of the crimes that they've arrested people for. We want to know how this process is going to move forward, because now all of their testimony is tainted. They're not going to be able to testify against anyone. So that's hundreds of hours of Philadelphia taxpayer dollars wasted. There's no accountability. So we want to bring accountability. This poverty issue that we talking about, I saw an article that I just read last week, Council President Green -- I mean Clarke. It talked about the community agreements that's done in the development process through the City of Philadelphia. We got another group that's talking that come home from prison. They Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 went through all the City of Philadelphia programs on crime reduction, two-week programs, six-week programs. None of these programs give these people that come home from prison second opportunities or second chances. All of these police officers, though, they'll get second chances, when the people of the City of Philadelphia do not get second chances. Your returned citizens are not getting second chances. We just seen another article where we're boasting about 8,000 jobs, but at the end of the day when we talk about poverty and these jobs only lasting six weeks, the jobs only last six weeks, and if they only last six weeks, this is stemming the policy on poverty. We also want to talk about that RCO process. The RCO process across the City of Philadelphia is creating poverty, and when we come back in September, that RCO process needs to be looked into deep.

Thank Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 you, sir. Thank you. Mr. Decker.

Shelly Yanoff. (Witness approached podium.)

Thank you very much. I'm Shelly Yanoff. I am a private citizen, but for almost 30 years I was the Director of Public Citizens for Children and Youth. In 1987, I was just beginning my work at PCCY and I was sitting in City Council listening and hopefully learning. Two nurses from Jefferson Hospital testified about the children they were seeing at the hospital that day who are forever harmed because of lead poisoning. I knew nothing about it. I was alarmed, children who are being forever injured because of lead. Although England long ago forbade the use of lead paint in homes, we didn't get around to doing that until 80 years after they did. And the cost of that delay, the cost of that delay was Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 severe in the lives of thousands of children in the states, in this city. It's always easier to put it off, to delay. The cost of delay is the cost that our children pay. We're finally close to providing a law with the support of most of you which will provide some protection. Congratulations to all of you for supporting it. But there seems once again to be a reason to delay. Make no mistake, every day you delay, some babies, some children are being forever injured, and they're innocent children. The most vulnerable of us pay the price for this delay. Pass the bill. Pass it now. Develop implementation plans this summer. Take a step that will save the future of thousands of children and this city. Thank you. (Applause.)

Joe Danihel. (Witness approached podium.) Stated Meeting June 20, 2019

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. This is an official decree of the people in writ of mandamus quo warranto and, as such, requires immediate action and remedy. Every week, Council, Mayor, Governor, and others transfer private property to the government, probably illegally. Consent of the Governor is required to be proved before you act. Did the Governor ask you to deny or restrict public comment at City Council meetings, which has been done several times this year? Did the Governor approve the theft of my home and theft of my just compensation? Did the Governor prove your unanimous votes last June to spend upwards of 120 million federal HUD money to build a mall on top of my stolen home? If you do not want to perform Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 your known duty or task, why do you run for reelection? Failure to perform your known duty or task is known by military people as treason. Why hasn't the Attorney General investigated and prosecuted my numerous complaints? I call on the federal and Commonwealth governments to perform its constitutional obligation 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 25 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 Stated Meeting June 20, 2019 fireman can refuse to fight a fire. The sovereign people require oath, Constitution, and law be enforced, and jail is required for all of you who violate your oath, Constitution, or law. I remind Council, it takes a lot of cooperation to create and allow all of this monumental corruption.

Thank you for your testimony. (Applause.)
