Council President Verna

Are there speeches on the part of the majority?

Council President Verna

The Chair recognizes Councilman Nutter.

Councilman Nutter

Thank you, Madam President. I'll be brief. Madam President, I made some comments last week with regard to the excessive deaf and dumb violence in the City regarding young people under the age of 18, and read a long list, based on information I had received from the Police Department, of 28 people who had suffered in that fatal way. Unfortunately mistakenly, Madam President, there was a name not on that list. The family members, coincidentally, for that young man were here last week, and they were also here earlier today. I think they left. I just want to make sure that the record is complete, and also give them their due respect and consideration. They are still looking for the killer of their family member. On September Stated - 12/9/04 28, 2004, Adam Hammer, 17 years old, white male, was killed by gunshot wound, and the weapon was a handgun. And I just wanted to recognize that person, and make sure that the record is complete. The tragedies continue, and we have our continued responsibility. Thank you, Madam President.

Council President Verna

You're welcome. Are there any other speeches on the part of the majority? (No response.)

Council President Verna

Seeing none, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Tasco for a motion to adjourn.

Councilwoman Tasco

Madam President, I move that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, December the 16th, 10:00 a.m. UNIDENTIFIED COUNCIL PERSON: Second.

Council President Verna

It has been moved and seconded that Council stand Stated - 12/9/04 adjourned until Thursday, December the 16th, at 10:00 a.m. All in favor will say aye. (Chorus of "ayes.")

Council President Verna

Those opposed? (No response.)

Council President Verna

The ayes have it, and Council will stand adjourned until Thursday, December 16th. Thank you. (Deposition concluded at 12:25 p.m.) Stated - 12/9/04 CERTIFICATE I HEREBY CERTIFY that the proceedings and evidence are contained fully and accurately in the stenographic notes taken by me upon the stated hearing of The Philadelphia City Council, taken on December 9, 2004, and that this is a true and correct transcript of same. _____________________________ DAVID A.
