Chief Clerk

Mr. President, I made an error during the Consent Agenda for resolutions and read Resolution No. Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 12/9/21 - STATED - 2ND READING 210967, which was called up correctly but read the wrong title. If we could call up Resolution No. 210967 and read the title correctly and give the members the opportunity to do a voice vote on the correct resolution.

Council President Clarke

Okay. You said that was on the Consent Agenda?

Chief Clerk

It was supposed to be the Consent Agenda, 210967, but I read the wrong title. I read the title of a resolution that's been adopted for a week now.

Council President Clarke

What was the title?

Chief Clerk

The title that I read was authorizing hearings by the Committee on Commerce and Economic Development to examine diversity and inclusion in contracting by the City and related public sector agencies, including the School District of Philadelphia, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 12/9/21 - STATED - 2ND READING Authority, and the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation. That resolution has already been adopted, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Okay. It was on the Consent Agenda and it should have been on what? I mean, I'm trying to understand.

Chief Clerk

The resolution was supposed to be on the Consent Agenda.

Council President Clarke

Right.

Chief Clerk

And I read the correct number, but the incorrect title.

Council President Clarke

All right.

Chief Clerk

So that was the incorrect title. I would like to read the --

Council President Clarke

Let's do that now. Let's clear it up.

Chief Clerk

Resolution No. 210967, entitled a "Resolution recognizing Ryan Boyer, business manager Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 12/9/21 - STATED - 2ND READING of Laborers' District Council of Metropolitan Philadelphia & Vicinity, for making history as the first African American business manager of the Philadelphia Building Trades Council."

Council President Clarke

Okay. And who was the sponsor?

Chief Clerk

Councilman Johnson.

Council President Clarke

Councilman, you said, Johnson?

Chief Clerk

Councilman Johnson, yes, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Okay. So, Councilwoman Parker, let's just make a motion.

Councilwoman Parker

Yes. On behalf of Councilmember Johnson, I move for the adoption of the resolution, Mr. President. (Duly seconded.)

Council President Clarke

Thank you. It's been moved and properly seconded. Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 12/9/21 - STATED - 2ND READING All in favor of said resolution? (Aye.)

Council President Clarke

Those opposed? (No response.)

Council President Clarke

The ayes have it, and that resolution is now adopted officially. Thank you.

Chief Clerk

I apologize for the error, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

No problem, Mr. Decker.

Chief Clerk

There are no other resolutions on the -

Council President Clarke

Any mistakes you make are few and far between, if any. Does that conclude all our resolutions, Mr. Decker?

Chief Clerk

It does, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 And we will now move to our speeches at the conclusion of our Calendar today, and prior to recognizing speeches, I will note for the record at this time that we will use the Chat feature available in Microsoft Teams to allow members to signify that they wish to be recognized. In order to comply with the Sunshine Act, the Chat feature must only be used for this particular purpose. With that said, speeches on behalf of the minority?

Councilwoman Parker

Mr. President, I'm sorry, sir. I wanted to interject to let you know that because I'm using audio from my phone, I cannot type in the Chat area. So when it comes to the majority, I would like to be recognized, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. No speeches on behalf of the Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 minority? (No response.)

Council President Clarke

Speeches on behalf of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Thomas.

Councilman Thomas

Thank you, Council President. I want to first say thank you to all of the people who worked very diligently on the Citizens Police Oversight Committee. I did vote yes on it today, but I do want to put on the record some of my concerns and how I was a little reluctant to vote yes. I do think that we have to monitor what we're doing as it relates to looking at the long-term ramifications of the legislation, specifically looking at the fact that it's a citizens oversight and we want to make sure that we always keep ourself in a position where constituents are the majority of the people who are on there, constituents are Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 and put us in a position where it's true citizens oversight and it's true opportunities for constituents to be able to have a say-so. I do commend all of the people who worked very hard for this over the years. This is something that did not just happen overnight, from the ballot initiative, to the great work that was done by a lot of people behind the scenes. And I do know there are a lot of citizens and community-based organizations who have been fighting for this as well. In the midst of thinking about my vote, I actually was persuaded by some of the words that Councilmember Bass said to me when I was looking to pass driving equality, and what Councilmember Bass said is that I'm trusting you with this one, Councilman. I'm not in 100 percent agreement with everything in it, but I respect the hard work you've done and I trust that you're going to monitor it to Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 it right. So in the same spirit of my colleague Councilmember Bass, Councilmember Jones and others, I appreciate your leadership. We are trusting you with this one, and we're going to monitor it and work with you and your entire team to make sure that we get it right. So I'm excited to see what this Committee is going to produce as it relates to who gets recommended for the Oversight Committee. I did communicate my concerns. I do not see those concerns foreseeing themself in the near future because I am well aware of the intentions of the people who are on the selection committee as well as my colleagues on Council as well. So thank you. I just wanted to take a moment to put my thoughts on the record, Council President. You know, I rarely do this about someone else's legislation, but this is something that's Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 my heart and I know a lot of my colleagues have been doing what we can to improve the relationships and the trust factor between communities of color, poor communities, and law enforcement, because we know that that's the direction that we need to go in to improve our city. So thank you for the opportunity, Council President. Thank you to the bill sponsor, and I'm looking forward to working with everybody.

Council President Clarke

Thank you so much, Councilman, and thank you always for your thoughtful consideration of not only the work you do, but your input as it relates to work that others do. We really appreciate your thoughtful process. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Gauthier.

Councilwoman Gauthier

Thank you, Council President. Good morning, everyone. Today Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 designating December 21st as National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day in the City of Philadelphia. This is a day that's recognized on or around the first day of winter, the longest night of the year, by the National Coalition for the Homeless and by more than 100 cities around the United States. While much progress has been made to combat homelessness, this is a stubborn crisis that continues to impact thousands of Philadelphians on an annual basis, and as long as that's the case, it's imperative that we continue to speak out about the struggles faced by people who experience homelessness as well as poverty and addiction, which all too often are intersecting challenges. Here in Philadelphia, Project HOME, a massively impactful organization that does vital work year round to lift people out of homelessness and connect them with medical care, employment, and Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 opportunities, is the organizer for our local Memorial Day. Each year hundreds of Philadelphians gather to remember their homeless and formerly homeless friends, neighbors, and loved ones who have died and to call for an end to homelessness and poverty in our city and in our country. On December 21st, please join us to remember the hundreds of Philadelphians who experience homelessness and died in 2021, and please join us to recommit to building a world in which everyone is safely housed. Project HOME is working to gather the names of Philadelphians who experienced homelessness who we lost in 2021. If you have a name to submit, please e-mail memorial@projecthome.org by Monday, December 13th. For more information, visit Homeless Memorial Philly on Facebook and Instagram or HMD Philly on Twitter. Thank you so much. Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. Thank you for your hard work on that very important issue. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker.

Councilwoman Parker

Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, I first want to start with commending our Whip, Curtis Jones, his staff, Samantha and all members of the team, for the very hard work that they did on the Citizens Police Oversight Committee. I also want to commend Councilmember Thomas for sharing very publicly his concerns about how we amended the legislation and then him referencing Councilmember Bass, because what he just did was affirm very publicly the hashing out, the debate, the critical thinking that we do behind the scenes, challenging each other and questioning the work and trying to make sure that we Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 best, the very best, that we can in the interest of the people in the City of Philadelphia. And so I want to say thank you to each of them. Now, Mr. President, I want to give some comments on Bill No. 210670, which is the third-party delivery bill. For members of the viewing public, I want you to know that this bill, in essence, builds on legislation that this City Council passed during the COVID-19 pandemic that limited the maximum fee that third-party food delivery companies, like Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats, that they could charge to their partner restaurants. Now, for people who are watching, you may recall that when the pandemic first hit in 2020, many restaurants were suddenly like subject to delivery fees that went as high as like 30, even 40 percent, and Councilmember Jones had a restaurant that was in the Fourth District and Councilmember Squilla Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 his district who spoke about how these high fees almost made it impossible for them to do their work. They burdened restaurants, and they were already struggling for business due to lockdown orders and they needed to establish an online presence, in essence, to remain successful. So the legislation that I spearheaded last year, what it did was it capped the fees to 10 percent for delivery and 5 percent for other fees, like marketing, so for a total of 15 percent per order and for the duration of the declared public health emergency and then 90 days thereafter. Now, while we are obviously still in a public health emergency, especially with the new variant breathing down our necks, I wanted to introduce new legislation that would speak to what should happen as we move out of the pandemic. Now, yes, it's true other Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 legislation similar to what we voted on today, with several of them implementing permanent fee caps and some allowing for a tiered structure. When crafting this legislation, and I have to note this for the record, I was also hyperaware that as the restaurants climb out of the pandemic, it is not as if they will be fully recovered on the day that the public health emergency ends. So in reality, it may take years for the restaurant industry as well as the entire hospitality industry to recover from this pandemic. Bill No. 210670 as introduced and amended would have made a 15 percent total fee cap permanent. It also maintains a clause from the original legislation clarifying that it is unlawful, unlawful for third-party food delivery services to reduce the compensation rates paid to the service delivery drivers, like some of us know Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 Dashers, or garnish their gratuities as a result of the fee cap. So this can't be passed on to the workers who are using this opportunity to work for these third-party companies to make ends meet. In other cities where fee caps have been made permanent, such as New York City and San Francisco, some of the third-party food delivery services, they then -- they sued the cities, and these lawsuits, they are still playing out. So what we tried to do with this legislation, Mr.

Councilwoman Parker

President, in working with our Law Department -- have to thank our Solicitor and every member of the Law Department staff. I want to be clear that we want to avoid that kind of lawsuit here in Philadelphia. And so after introduction of the bill, and I thank Ben from PRLA for mentioning it, along with Andrew Zalenski, they met with the various third-party delivery companies, and my instruction was to try Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 Mr. President, Harrisburg kicked in. You know, can't do it without talking to people, and they sat down and they did it. Amendments to Bill No. 210670, they were reached after extensive conversations with the restaurant industry and these third-party delivery companies, and they met in October and November, and the legislation, which was amended in committee and also today, it will maintain a 15 percent total fee cap for restaurants that choose it. But, listen, it will also allow restaurants to like opt out of that, opt out of that cap and actually go into a higher fee tier in return for additional services beyond basic delivery and marketing. Now, some of the third-party delivery companies, they're still not totally happy with where this bill ended up, and as Councilmember Squilla often notes, you know, when that's the case, you did something right. They are still Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 amended bill as a permanent fee cap, and even though we give restaurants the choice now to move up to a higher fee tier, they're still trying to couch it that way, but, Philly, you know, I'm not swallowing that. You know, in crafting these amendments, I wanted to avoid a situation like what happened in the past where a restaurant will be surprised and essentially forced into a higher tier. They were told something like, listen to this, based on your volume of sales and/or price points, we're now going to take 30 percent instead of the 20 percent that you signed up at. Not going to do that to Philly restaurants. We won't allow it. With this legislation, restaurants are going to be guaranteed a 15 percent fee cap and, listen, if that is what they choose. "Choice" here is the operative word, and I do believe that some restaurants, they're going to choose to move up into the higher fee tier in Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 that go beyond the basic delivery and marketing. And one final thought, you know, my office and Rachel Meadows and Hilary and Kyasha and the entire team, along with PRLA, they negotiated with third-party delivery companies. Guess what? In good faith. So I hope we can avoid a lawsuit, but for those who have been sort of kind of trying to hold that over our heads, when Council passed lost and stolen gun legislation here in Philadelphia, although it was not enforced by the District Attorney at that time because they said it was preempted by State law, I was in Harrisburg fighting no matter what that law says. So if you're going to sue, you sue, but our Law Department has told us that they are prepared to fight. I also don't want to see that bottom tier, the 15 percent tier, turned into like a substandard tier where Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021 like they are being forced to choose a higher tier if they just want the basic services. So for the record, we're going to be watching the implementation of this new legislation like hawks, right, like white on rice, and trust me, we're going to hear from the restaurants as soon as something is not going right.

Councilwoman Parker

And I believe we can move forward in a way that's beneficial for restaurants, but I also want this to work for third-party delivery companies, because I have a lot of friends and family and constituents who they work for these companies and this is how they are earning, you know, income and revenue to keep their households going, but we won't let you gouge our restaurant industry or our people. Thank you so very much, Mr. President and colleagues, for your leeway you've provided. Dec 9, 2021 Stated Meeting December 9, 2021
