Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA STATED MEETING Room 400, City Hall Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Thursday, May 26, 2016 11:10 a.m. PRESENT: COUNCIL PRESIDENT DARRELL L. CLARKE COUNCILWOMAN CINDY BASS COUNCILWOMAN JANNIE L. BLACKWELL COUNCILMAN ALLAN DOMB COUNCILMAN DEREK S. GREEN COUNCILMAN WILLIAM K. GREENLEE COUNCILWOMAN HELEN GYM COUNCILMAN BOBBY HENON COUNCILMAN KENYATTA JOHNSON COUNCILMAN CURTIS JONES, JR. COUNCILMAN DAVID OH COUNCILMAN BRIAN J. O'NEILL COUNCILWOMAN CHERELLE L.

Council President Clarke

Good morning, everyone. We're going to get started. We're running real late, and it's partially my fault. The hour has come. We have a quorum. If the visitors will retire behind the rail, we'll get started. I'd ask for your cooperation. Can you lower your voices, please. To give our invocation this morning, the Chair recognizes Pastor Brian H. Grant of Germantown Christian Assembly. He is here today as the guest of Councilman Derek Green. I would ask all members and guests and visitors to please rise. (Councilmembers and guests rise.)

Pastor Grant

Thank you very much, Council President Clarke and all the distinguished members of the Council. It certainly is an honor and privilege for me to have this opportunity of giving the invocation today. And I just want Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 pray regularly for the Council, and we thank God for you and your dedication to the City. I am known as a storyteller. You need not worry. It's going to be very brief. But before I get going, I want to tell a story that I hope will inspire you as you deal with the challenging issues of our city. The story starts with this elderly lady living in Northern Ireland, and this is just at the time that electricity was getting popular. And she was rich, but she was very tightfisted. And so everybody was surprised that this tightfisted lady was willing to get her home electrified. After about three months, the meter reader came to read the meter, and he really was surprised there was hardly any usage of the electricity. So he said to her, Is everything okay? I notice you have hardly used your electricity. She said, Everything is working Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 turn on my lights just long enough to light the candles. The power was there, but it was having no impact on her life. And I just want to say to you this morning that the power is available. The power of God is available, available to help you deal with all the challenges that you must deal with, available to help you with the personal challenges you face in your own life. So let's just bow right now and ask God's blessing. Father, we thank you that we can approach a God who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask or imagine. We thank you that despite your awesomeness, that not even one sparrow falls to the ground by chance. We thank you, God, that you have such an interest in us, that you desire despite the fact that you feel the universe that you desire to have a Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 through faith. Today, we ask your blessing on the members of this Council. Guide them in their deliberations and bless their efforts as they work for the unity, peace, and prosperity of this city. We ask a special grace for anyone here who might be passing through personal challenges. May they find strength, wisdom, and comfort as they put their faith in you. Lord, you have certainly brought us a mighty long way, but, dear Lord, we pray that you may keep us in your path, lest our feet stray from the places where we met thee, lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world we forget thee. And so shattered beneath thy hand may we forever stand true to our God, true to our native land. We ask this in the name of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 (Amen.)

Council President Clarke

Councilman Squilla

Good Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 morning, everyone, and thank you for being here. I just want to say in a year where we are celebrating some great champions, that as we had earlier here Villanova winning the national championship, we also have some great, great schools here in the City of Philadelphia that really exceeded and are showing how great Philadelphia sports is. We have some great schools, and fortunately enough they're in my district to be able to win the state championship this year. And last year we had four. This year we have three. And it's an amazing feat to go out there. And I challenge you District Councilmembers to get some of your schools to compete with some of my schools to make sure we can see that happen. But anyway, this is a great honor, and being able to come here today to be able to, with my colleagues, be able to honor these young, great athletes and students that are going to move on to Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 Philadelphia proudly. We're just going to read these resolutions. And today we're honoring and congratulating Roman Catholic High School Basketball Team, the Cahillites on winning the 2016 Philadelphia Catholic League Championship, The PIAA AAAA State Championship and The District 12 City Title for the AAAA Classification.

Whereas, the Cahillites, led by Head Coach Chris McNesby, graduate of 1995 class, finished with a record of 27 and 4; Whereas, the Varsity Basketball Program at Roman Catholic High School finished the season ranked No. 19 overall by USA Today and ranked 12 in the country by MaxPreps; and

Mr. Hoban

Ladies and Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 members of the Philadelphia City Council, my name is Dan Hoban, Roman Catholic class of 1992 and, once again, honored as the voice of Roman Catholic Basketball to thank you for allowing us to join you today. I would like to present to you the back-to-back Philadelphia Catholic League PIAA District 12 and now the two-time PIAA AAAA State Champions, Roman Catholic High School Basketball. I would also like to congratulate the Saints of Neumann-Goretti boys and girls basketball teams who are with us today and Coach Carl Arrigale and Coach Andrea Peterson for their AAA State Championships as well. Led by USA Today State Coach of the Year Chris McNesby, the Cahillites defended their titles with a 27 and 4 overall record, including a 17-game winning streak to end the season. Along the road, the Cahillites defended their Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 DC Classic in December in a thrilling overtime victory over the host. After a few bumps in the road during the Catholic League season, Roman avenged earlier losses by beating Archbishop Carroll in the semi-finals and Neumann-Goretti by the score of 72-65 in front of a more than sell-out Palestra crowd. In fact, the attendance topped all but eight of the NCAA's conference championship games. After defending their City title, Roman once again ran through the state tournament, averaging double-digit wins against highly regarded opponents like Parkland and Plymouth Whitemarsh. The culmination occurred in Hershey where the Cahillites fought off a 10 to nothing deficit to defeat previously state-ranked No. 1 Taylor Allerdice out of Pittsburgh 73-62 for a second state title. The team consisted of freshmen Mikeal Jones and Seth Lundy, juniors Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 Vilmar, Dakquan Davis, JP Sanders, and Colin Flach, along with seniors Khalil Vincent going to Valley Forge, Anthony Dawson headed to Penn State Abington, Mark Tobin headed to LaSalle University, also a First Team All-State soccer goalie, Paul Newman headed to Brown University, and the Penn State trio of Tony Carr, Lamar Stevens, and Nazeer Bostick, along with our managers Jake Hall, Jesse Murphy, and Kieran Flaherty. Carr and Stevens were recognized as First Team All-Catholic and First Team All-City. They were also joined by Nazeer Bostick as a Second Team All-Catholic, and all three were honored as First Time All-State by the Associated Press. Tony Carr was named Player of the Year by the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Associated Press, and Mr. Basketball by USA Today, along with scoring a total of 1,065 points. Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 as the Player of the Year by the Philadelphia Daily News and ended his high school career with 1,348 points. He was also the MVP of the Gonzaga DC Classic, joining on the All-Tournament Team by Tony Carr and Nazeer Bostick and also All-Tournament at the Chick-Fil-A Classic in South Carolina.

Chief Clerk

Robert Burdge, commenting on 160537. (Witness approached podium.)

Mr. Burdge

Thank you, Council, and thank you, Councilman Clarke. This is a very important thing Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 that we need to get done here in the City of Philadelphia. We have a serious problem here in the City, and we need to address it. We have people sleeping on the streets. We have homeless shelters that are not up to par. And we have things -- it's just getting worse. Now that the summers are coming, you might not hear about it because of people living on the streets, but it's something that's very important. And I believe in this, because I live this. I am a homeless person and I lived on the street, and I know what's going on. And if any of the Councilmembers need information about what's going on, they can get a hold of me. I'm going to make a point to talk to every Council office and give them a personal card in the next week when I get a cell phone. It's something that's very important, and we need to go to Harrisburg. And we know that the City don't have the funds sometimes. What we Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 need -- we need as a body -- you need to be as a body of a group to go to Harrisburg, and I'm willing to do that also, get a bunch of people and go to Harrisburg. I know the funds are not here in the City. I'm sorry, but that's my point.

Chief Clerk

Joe Danihel, commenting on 160481, 160426, 160535, and 160542. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

Good afternoon.

Mr. Danihel

Good afternoon. I should get elected to Council so I can Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 be one of the people that are paid to be here instead of having to take a lot of my time out to notify you of all this that's going on. In this age when voters are demanding accountability from our government employees, as the Council, the courts, the Mayor's Office, the City's attorney's office, and the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority purposefully excluded the voice of the people. Twenty-two years, no hearing, no notice, no jury trial, yet my home was stolen, to pay a developer up to $100 million to build a mall on my stolen home in this city that is so strapped for cash, the Council is raising taxes on everything. Was Herbert Wetzel at the RDA while my home was being unconstitutionally sequestered? Reappointment signals Council's acceptance of his job performance. This is egregious behavior. De-fund the Redevelopment Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 Authority and the Land Bank and order the Attorney General to investigate and prosecute violations, 42 USC 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, among others, and investigate the District Attorney's Office as to why no charges have been filed. Ben Franklin, quote, Political offices and baby diapers have to be changed often and for the same reason.

Council President Clarke

Thank you.

Chief Clerk

Louise Hanible, commenting on 160411. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

Good afternoon.

Ms. Hanible

Good afternoon, President Council. The reason why I'm here today, because I represent housing tenants all over the City, in your district and everybody else district, come to me with complaints. I was called early this morning because a lot of tenants watch Council on TV and this was Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 brought to my attention. I'm speaking really on Bill 14010 and 14011 [sic], and the reason why I'm asking you this is because a resolution reappointing tenants to the Board, I want to know is the tenants rights' now being tooken? Because we elect the tenants that we want on the Board. They are not reappointed by Council or the Mayor. The tenants reelect who we want on the Board. So could you please explain this to me, why they are being reappointed and not elected by the tenants? Can somebody explain that to me?

Council President Clarke

I'm not a member of the Board.

Ms. Hanible

What you say?

Council President Clarke

I'm not a member of the Board, so I can't respond to that.

Ms. Hanible

Well, somebody in here knows something. How can they be Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 reappointed to a Board? Are y'all taking our rights away from us? Because we have the right to vote for the tenants that we want on the Board, not to be appointed by you, the President, or nobody of this Council. So I want to know is our rights being tooken from us and we now do not have the right to vote for who we want to represent us? Not that I have a problem with who is on the Board, but I want to know is our rights being tooken from us? Somebody in here got to know. Jannie, you once sitted on the Board.

Councilwoman Blackwell

Yeah, but I don't now.

Ms. Hanible

But I want to know. I want to know do we still have the right to vote for who we want to represent us on the Housing Board?

Councilwoman Blackwell

I don't know. When I went to the Board meeting last week, they elected two people. I didn't know it was happening. Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 I thought it was -

Ms. Hanible

How did they elect two people? We ain't have no election.

Councilwoman Blackwell

I don't know.

Ms. Hanible

Could somebody please explain this to us?

Council President Clarke

Ms. Hanible, what I would like to do if you -- can you hang around?

Ms. Hanible

Yes, I could.

Council President Clarke

We're going to be here for a little while. There apparently was a document that was submitted. I think this is a temporary, but I don't want to speculate on language, so I'll get you the language associated with how that process happened on this particular time. Because the state law did call for elected Board members. So I'll get you the information.

Ms. Hanible

I appreciate it, Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 because we ain't have no election and we ain't elected nobody. And we not going to have these people just pushed down our throats. Not that we saying we don't want the people on the Board that's on the Board, but we want our rights to be protected.

Council President Clarke

Okay. All right.

Ms. Hanible

We have the right to vote on who we want to represent us.

Council President Clarke

Thank you. I have the information on that today, before we leave. Thank you. Thank you for your testimony.

Chief Clerk

Judith Robinson, commenting on 160429. (Witness approached podium.)

Ms. Robinson

Good afternoon. My name is Judith Robinson.

Council President Clarke

Good afternoon.

Ms. Robinson

I'm here to speak on Bill 160429. I am happy to see Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 this gentleman, Mr. Purnell, being appointed to the PHA Board, because I know he knows PHA very well, as he was formerly with PHA in the past. I'm going to say he should have been Executive Director. We might be better along in this management of this agency. But this gives me another opportunity to speak about PHA and its gentrification of our community. There's a passage in the Bible that say I told you 99 times because 98 wasn't enough. So I'm going to say that to you all, because you all act like you don't understand any other view. I got 30 years of real estate behind me, so I will stand up in front of anyone with the facts. I always bring a document to make sure you know what I'm talking about. So eminent domain is being used against the African American community, taking away generation of wealth. It's happening in Brewerytown, and there's an excellent but unfortunate article that's Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 in PlanPhilly that tells about South Philadelphia. The same situation when Martin Luther King was imploded, the Latimore family lost five properties and others. This is how African Americans are losing. Don't you be fooled by the Pew Foundation. They will never, ever report what's happening to the African American community using PHA to take away land, some occupied properties, in the African American community. It's only happening to African Americans. I want to make sure you all do not leave here today thinking that you're doing something so great. Every time you vote on one of these bills, you're not asking any questions. You're not looking for any other alternative plan. You are taking equity from the African American community. It's not happening any other way. I've studied it now from the history and inception of PHA, which I'll be telling that story on Saturday at Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 Cecil B. Moore branch library from 1:00 to 3:00 with documents to prove from Bill 150409 of last summer where 1,300 parcels were taken out of the African American community. Every other community can stand up and fight for their community to remain a strong culture of community, but African Americans. Shame, shame, shame on it. Is this giving me the yellow light here? So I can still continue to say check out PlanPhilly. Check out that article, very detailed by Mr. Marin. Thank you very much for the opportunity.

Council President Clarke

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

Chief Clerk

Councilwoman Gym

Thank you very much, Mr. President. I'll be brief. Today the School District of Philadelphia will pass a budget for the first time in a long time not coming before Council for a specific or Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 think it's worth noting, though, that despite that, Council applied itself in ways that was significant in advancing a lot of the issues that have been fought for by parents and communities. We were able in this budget to win and guarantee a full-time nurse and counselor for every district public school. We were able to gain a commitment to end a really terrible practice around split grades, merging grades of students together because teachers couldn't be afforded. We pushed out $8 million to schools in March so that they could start after-school programs, buy some basic books and supplies and start replenishing classrooms. We were, more than anybody else, at the forefront of addressing teacher vacancies and overcrowding in our schools that's going to restructure and refocus the District's attention back on making sure that our children have the Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 they need and that there's a qualified teacher in front of them every single day of the school year. We do not want another year in which thousands of children could end up in either remedial programs or other types of situations simply because they lacked a teacher for the majority of the year. We're still fighting for a lot of things, including a quality contract for all of the labor unions in the School District of Philadelphia, but I think that the message is is that when we invest in citywide district investments across the City and we guarantee them for every child, every family, at every school, we begin to re-promise all of Philadelphians what it looks like to have an invested public school system. This isn't just about single school turnarounds. It's also about broad-based investments that can begin to regenerate some confidence, and that goes out for Stated Meeting May 26, 2016 I'm grateful to everybody, all my colleagues, who spent many hours trying to work on this issue, prioritize things for the District from sometimes skeptical and rabble-rousing advocates from the outside. It was great to see as much advancement as we did, and I'm grateful for everybody in this building especially for making that change possible. Thank you.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. (Applause.)

Council President Clarke

That concludes the speeches on behalf of the minority and the majority, and the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown for a motion to adjourn.

Councilwoman Brown
