Councilman Jones

I'm going to read the numbers.

Council President Clarke

I'm sorry. I'm moving a little too fast.

Councilman Jones

Bills No. 120054-A, 121037-A, 130141, 130325, 120591, 120592, 120593, 120658, 120785, 121003, 130124, 130300, 130301, 130302, 130303, 130304, 130331, 130353, 130354, 130355, 130358, 130379, 130380, and 130381. (Duly seconded.)

Council President Clarke

It has been moved and seconded that the rules of Council be suspended to permit first reading -- to permit the use of a Consent Agenda to consider the bills just read by Councilman Jones. All those in favor say aye. (Aye.)

Council President Clarke

Those opposed? (No response.)

Council President Clarke

The ayes have it. The motion carries. And we will consider the Consent Agenda. The Chair again recognizes Councilman Jones for the purpose of 2ND READING calling up bills and resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar.

Councilman Jones

And thank you once again, Mr. President. In addition to the bills being considered on the Consent Agenda, the following resolutions and bills are being called up for Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar today: Nos. 130465, 130466, 130467, 130225, 130227, 130255, and 130308. All other bills and resolutions are being held. Bills No. 130225, 130255, and 130308 are amended. Handwriting on this, Mr. President, was a little challenging.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, sir. Before considering these resolutions and bills, we will consider public comment. Public comment will go as follows: You will be given three minutes to give your public comment. If you are interested in giving public comment today, I'd ask that you please sign up to the table to my left. There is a podium in the middle of the Council. That podium has a device on it. The light on that device will turn green when it is your time to speak. It will turn yellow when you have 30 seconds left. It will turn red when your time is up. We ask that you please adhere to those guidelines, because we want to make sure that everybody has an opportunity. Mr. Decker, will you please read the title of the first name.

Chief Clerk

Nadia Hewka, commenting on 120054-A. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

Good morning.

Ms. Hewka

Good morning, Mr. President and members of Council. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you. My name is Nadia Hewka and I'm an attorney at Community Legal Services in Philadelphia, which represents City residents from throughout the City. I live in South Philadelphia myself in the 1st District. I'm speaking about Bill 120054, entitled "An ordinance amending Chapter 19-1300 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled 'Real Estate Taxes,' by providing for installment payment agreements and requiring commencement of enforcement action, all under certain terms and conditions." I'm here today to say that many Philadelphians would be more able to pay their delinquent real estate taxes if their criminal records were expunged, removing a barrier to employment. According to Attorney General Holder's Reentry Council, about one in three Americans have criminal history records. The percentage in Philadelphia is probably higher than that. According to the Society of Human Resource Managers, 90 percent of employers do background checking. The result is that many people with criminal records have severe employment barriers that limit their income. The employment barrier that is represented by a criminal record was vividly demonstrated here in Philadelphia a few weeks ago when 3,000 persons with criminal records showed up at a job fair and were turned away because of the record crowds. But some criminal cases can be expunged and, most notably, those include arrests, summary convictions, and perhaps more as the Pennsylvania General Assembly considers a bill to allow some misdemeanor convictions to be expunged. We urge City Council to fund Community Legal Services to handle expungement cases. We believe that an investment of $100,000 would generate $6 million annually in savings and tax revenues for $60 return for $1 invested, as well as improve lives here in Philadelphia. Thank you very much.

Council President Clarke

Thank you for your testimony.

Chief Clerk

Clarc King, commending on 120118. (Witness approached podium.)

Mr. King

Thank you, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Good morning, sir.

Mr. King

Thank you, Councilmembers. The resolution authorizing the Committee to hold hearings to examine the feasibility of the transferring ownership or operations of Philadelphia Gas Works to a private entity is a bad idea, as Philadelphia Gas Works undergirds Philadelphia's economy, and Philadelphia Gas Works can also have the potential of creating a new economy platform. I'd also like to take the time to mention that Resolutions 130225 and 130227 ought to be tabled until there is some kind of resolution with the Dodd-Frank Act that particulars deal with their bank accounts of its customers. Eleven states, I report to the Council, have filed legal actions against the Dodd-Frank Act. There appears to be a lack of disclosure. There appears to be an indecipherable ordinance to these Dodd-Frank Act that no one can understand. So thank you very much.

Council President Clarke

Thank you so much, sir.

Chief Clerk

Montgomery Wilson, commenting on 120054-A. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

Good morning.

Mr. Wilson

Thank you, Councilman. I wanted to arrange it so I can see the light rather than blocking the red light. My name is Monty Wilson. I'm a an attorney with Community Legal Services in Philadelphia and I'm here today in support of Bill 120054-A, the real estate tax installment payment agreement bill that CLS and legal services have worked with Revenue and Council staff on for the last 18 months to set up a formal system of written payment agreements for Philadelphia homeowners to enter into payment plans on their delinquent taxes. I think many of us all know from the recent PlanPhilly article that came out last March that there are 40,000 homeowner-occupied properties in Philadelphia which are tax delinquent. This bill marks a big step forward, an enormous step forward in Philadelphia, towards a process of collecting that revenue for the City, while at the same time allowing these homeowners the opportunity to stay in their homes and make an affordable payment. I'm very optimistic given that the bill has been placed on the Consent Calendar that this bill will pass today. The thing I wanted to touch on base before my time ends is the next steps. I think this is an enormous step forward. I suspect that this bill will become a state and possibly a national model. It is comprehensive and well thought out, and I'd like to thank the Council staffers who worked with us. But the next step will, of course, be implementation, and the Department of Revenue and CLS and the housing counselors who have been asked to help these homeowners will need the resources and the funding to do that, and I would hope Council would consider that this month. The other thing to consider is that currently in Harrisburg, unfortunately I learned last week that there is a new bill that -- delinquent tax real estate sale reform bill, HB 1409, has been introduced, which would essentially preempt the bill that you are voting on today, unfortunately. It would set up a mandatory maximum of 24 months to repay your delinquent taxes and also, I believe, bar the City from forgiving penalties and interest on the amount owed. It's directly contradictory to the work that we've done for the last 18 months, and I would urge Council to take a look at that bill, speak to our state reps and urge the Harrisburg sponsors to amend that bill so that we can move forward with this bill. Having said all that, that's the work for the future. I am extremely grateful to Council for considering this bill. I'm optimistic that it's going to pass, and I want to take a moment to thank all the sponsors who were involved in the bill, particularly the folks that I have worked with from legal services, the folks at Philadelphia VIP, the Senior Law Center, and the Philadelphia Unemployment Project and PLA. I would be remiss if I didn't thank people at the Department of Revenue, Clarena Tolson, particularly Frances Beckley, their Chief Legal Counsel who came to the table and worked with us, meeting with us every two weeks for months to hammer out the bill. And, finally, I would like to thank three staffers without whom I think this bill would have been impossible: Sophie Bryan, former staff for Councilman Green; Jennifer Kates, Councilwoman Sanchez's staffer; and Todd Baylson, without whom I don't think this bill could have happened. I thank you all.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, sir. (Applause.)

Council President Clarke

Thank you for your testimony.

Chief Clerk

There are no other speakers on the public comment list, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you very much. At this time, we will now consider today's Consent Agenda. I will to read the titles of all the bills on the Consent Agenda. After each title is read, any member may object to the inclusion of the bill on the Consent Agenda. Upon such objection, without debate, the bill will be immediately removed from the Consent Agenda and placed on our regular Final Passage Calendar. Mr. Decker will now read the titles of the bills on the Consent Agenda.
