Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 also, Dear God, that we sometimes did not emulate your unconditional love in our lives. We have been enjoying your free gift of the nature and endless resources. We will now be responsible in sharing the resources that you gave us. Sometimes we even fought each other with our conscience to claim our own spoils. We were sometimes ruthless with the nature, and fade in maintaining its beauty and purity.

May we be inspired to be law-abiding citizens and not to bring Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 May we be selfless in carrying out our duties to each resident in the City without partiality. May be we committed to practice our name Philadelphia, exhibiting brotherly love and sisterly affection. Dear God, instill in us the true wisdom to see everyone as a child of God and as our own kith and kin. Give us the insight that we are here to serve and not to be served. Help us, Lord, to understand good and evil clearly. Help us to be instruments of social justice, fairness, removing all violence, deceit, falsehood, arrogance, anger, vengeance, and hatred.

Councilman O'Neill

Thank you. On behalf of the republicans, there are no requests for leave of absence.

Councilman Henon

The Chair thanks the gentleman. No leaves will be granted. The Chair will now dispense with the regular order of business to recognize the guests and all the visitors that are here to join us today in the Chamber. So good morning to you all. On behalf of all members of this City Council, we welcome you and we welcome you to our Council session, and we appreciate you taking the time to join us as we attend to the legislative affairs of our city and we certainly invite you to come back and join us soon. At this time, the Chair would recognize myself, who has a presentation, presenting a resolution honoring Paul Doris as the Grand Marshal of the 246th Annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade. Would Paul Doris and those accompanying him Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 at the podium, please, which is right here in front of us. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)

Councilman Henon

So the Chair is going to recognize Councilman Johnson, Councilman O'Neill, and Councilman Clarke and Councilwoman Gym for the presentation. (Bagpipes playing.) (Applause.)

Councilman Henon

If you just stand by for a moment, we have an additional treat. (Irish dancers dancing.) (Applause.)

Councilman Henon

Thank you, girls. I want to thank a few people before we start the presentation. I want to thank Joe Tobin, the bagpipers, and Olivia Hilpl and the Rince dancers. They did a wonderful job. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 (Applause.)

Councilman Henon

The 1960 Committee. I want to thank them for being here. The Parade Committee, which is behind me. I happen to be a proud member of the Saint Patrick's Observance Day Committee, who is present by our President, Chris Phillips, and the Parade Committee Chairman, Mike Bradley. So I want to thank you all. I want to thank Olivia Hilpl and again Joe Tobin for their presentation here today. With that, honoring Paul Doris as the Grand Marshal of the 246th Annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade. Whereas, Paul Doris was born and raised in Coalisland County Tyrone, where he first experienced religious discrimination and injustice. The political upheaval in Northern Ireland also had a profound impact on his life. Paul turned to Gaelic football as an escape to the troubles in his homeland; and Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016

Councilwoman Gym

Whereas, Paul endured the anguish of several family tragedies over the course of the next few years. So when offered the opportunity to play Gaelic football in Philadelphia in 1974, Paul jumped at the chance and immigrated to the United States; and Whereas, two short years later, Paul met and married the love of his life, Rosemary. Together they have two children, Deirdre and Brendan, and five grandchildren; and Whereas, Paul was an active member of Teamsters Local 115 for 32 years, rising through the ranks and becoming shop steward until his retirement in 2011; and

Councilman Johnson

Whereas, Paul's love of Gaelic football has never waned. Paul is a founding member of the Shamrocks football team and has been an active member in the GAA since he arrived in Philadelphia. He also owns the Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 only referee from Philadelphia to officiate the North American Football Final; and Whereas, Paul also played a prominent role in the establishment and progressive agenda of the Federation of Irish Societies in an effort to ensure the Irish Community in Philadelphia was united in their opposition to the British injustice in Ireland; and Whereas

Councilman O'Neill

As a member of Irish Northern Aid, Paul is still active in marches, protests and fundraising for this cause and has served as the National President of INA. Paul has been honored in both the United States and Ireland for his years of service in the pursuit of Irish Freedom; Whereas, in addition to recognizing Paul's distinction of serving as Grand Marshal of this parade, the Ring of Honor this year will also include Matt Regan, Kevin McGillian, Siobhan Trainor, Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 McPaul, Eileen Daly, Pearse Kerr, Gerry McHale, Frances Duffy and Pat Bonner; and

Councilman Jones

The 2016 Saint Patrick's Day Parade will recognize the sacrifice of those who took part in one of Ireland's most historic events, the 1916 Easter Uprising. The Irish diaspora in Philadelphia provided political, moral and financial support for the Uprising, so it is fitting that, in the very city that our own Declaration of Independence was signed, the Saint Patrick's Day Observance Association pay homage to those who declared Ireland's independence from British rule on Easter Monday, April 24th, 1916; and now, therefore

Councilman Henon

I had to put the sash over the right shoulder. Excuse me. Therefore, be it resolved, by the City Council of the City of Philadelphia, that we hereby honor and Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 the Grand Marshal of the 246th Annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade. Resolved further, that an engrossed copy of this resolution be presented to Paul Doris, further evidencing the grateful appreciation and deep admiration of this legislative body. So I want to thank him, everybody here who is joining us, and a little point of personal privilege. (Applause.)

Councilman Henon

Before we bring up our Grand Marshal for remarks, one of our other members that are up here, we all know John McNesby. It's his birthday today. Happy 50th birthday, Mr. McNesby. (Applause.)

Councilwoman Brown

The Chair warmly recognizes Mr. Paul Doris for remarks. (Applause.)

Mr. Doris

First of all, I'd Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 President Clarke, Councilmember Henon for offering this resolution. I'm not going to say too much. I don't have a prayer or anything. I think we got that, so I'll try and keep this short. This year, as was said, is a very, very important year in the history of Ireland. We have had a long troubled past, but in 1916, men and women took off our arms against the British, which earls just as here did in the 1700s, with the simple goal of ruling their own country. We don't need any interference from anybody else to rule our country. So the news that it was almost a failed cause, but there said, before the day -- 15 of them were executed within a week. There said, before the day, at least their somber face will awake the nation of Ireland, which it did, and a few years after that, we won independence for 26 of the 32 counties. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 to get. England has plundered the ward over. The only living colony left is Northern Ireland. It's not even the size of Pennsylvania. And it's not much for us to ask, for us to work for, is that little bit united, along with the rest of Ireland, to make one Ireland whole and proud again. So I just leave it at that. I just want to thank the Parade Committee for acknowledging 1916 this year, the hundredth anniversary. And I'd like to remind people that on April the 24th over here at Independence Hall, we're having a celebration on the actual date that it happened, which is April 24th, 1916. I'd like to thank my wife, my family, and all the people that's here today. And once again to City Council, you have been great to us through the years and I hope it continues. Thank you very much. (Applause.) Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016

Councilwoman Brown

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

Councilman Henon

At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Green, who will present a resolution recognizing the outstanding contributions of Julian Abele. Would Peter Cook and those accompanying him please join the Councilman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)

Councilman Henon

Joining the Councilman is Councilwoman Parker, Councilman Kenyatta Johnson. And while everybody is approaching, the Chair would also like to recognize State Representative Michael Driscoll, who joined us here today. Thank you for joining us, Representative.

Councilman Green

Good morning. It's a pleasure to be here this morning to recognize an outstanding Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 of the City of Philadelphia. This morning we're doing a resolution recognizing and honoring the outstanding contributions and achievements of Julian Abele, an accomplished architect and Philadelphia resident. Whereas, Julian Francis Abele, the first African-American graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Architecture Program, received scant recognition during his lifetime despite his significant and many professional contributions; and Whereas, although Fiske Kimball, noted architectural historian and director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, acknowledged that Abele was one of the most sensitive designers anywhere in America in 1942, Abele remained virtually unknown outside of Philadelphia's architectural community until the '70s and '80s; and Whereas, born in Philadelphia Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 1881, Abele lived most of his life in the City, residing at 1515 Christian Street for several decades of his adult life; and

Councilman Taubenberger

Whereas, an accomplished student, Abele graduated from the Philadelphia Museum and School of Industrial Art in 1898 and entered into the prestigious Architecture Program at the University of Pennsylvania that very same year, where he won several impressive awards and served as the president of the University's Architectural Society during his senior year; and Whereas, after graduating from Penn in 1902, Abele augmented his education by studying architectural design at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts while working evenings for the noted Philadelphia architect Louis C. Hickman; Whereas, Abele spent the next five years studying design in Paris and Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 18th Century French architecture throughout his career; and Whereas, in 1907, Abele returned to Philadelphia and joined the firm of Horace Trumbauer, a popular architectural design house that was responsible for many mansions in Philadelphia, New York and Newport, Rhode Island, as well as apartment houses, offices, school buildings, theatres, hospitals, clubhouses, churches, libraries and museums;

Councilman Johnson

Whereas, one of Abele's largest projects was the firm's commission to design and supervise the construction of the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and Whereas, in 1909, he ascended to the firm's top position, chief designer, a remarkable accomplishment in light of his young age and race and he continued to be the top designer of the Trumbauer firm until his death in 1950; and Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Whereas, he designed the Duke University Chapel, as well as many other buildings on the campus; and Whereas, in 1942, Abele was elected to the American Institute of Architects; and

Councilwoman Parker

Whereas, in his private life, Abele was a quiet, serious man, yet brilliant and witty, who appreciated all things French, enjoying fine wine, classical music and opera and who engaged in water color painting, sketching, jewelry and furniture making; and Whereas, he married Marguerite Bulle, a French woman, and had two children, a son and a daughter, but after several years the couple parted although they never divorced; and Whereas, today, we appreciate Abele as one of the early 20th Century's most adept designers of revival buildings, who rejuvenated many long-dormant styles as vital, modern Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 and changed the skyline of Philadelphia and much of the United States; now, therefore, be it

Councilman Green

Resolved, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia, that Council does hereby recognize and honor the outstanding contributions and achievements of Julian Abele, an accomplished architect and Philadelphia resident. This resolution is signed by all members of City Council and supported by this body. I had an opportunity to do a tour of the Art Museum with both Gail Harrity and Nicole White and learned that his great nephew, Peter Cook, would be in Philadelphia today, and that was the impetus of doing this resolution. We also know we just went through Black History Month, but as you all know, Black History is 365 days, and Mr. Abele was recognized in the General Assembly but Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 here in the City of Philadelphia. So at this time, we wanted to make sure we did this acknowledgment to Mr. Julian Abele for all the work he has done on behalf of the City of Philadelphia. (Applause.)

Councilman Henon

The Chair recognizes Mr. Cook for remarks.

Mr. Cook

On behalf of the Abele family, on behalf of the Cook family, let me say thank you very much to everybody here for taking the time to bestow this honor on Julian Abele. I too am an architect, and I know it's one of the great aspirations of so many architects to leave a lasting contribution on the environment, and I'll simply say that Julian Abele clearly did that, and he did that extraordinarily well and with grace. So thank you very much. (Applause.)

Councilman Henon

Thank you so Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 at ease. (Council at ease.)

Councilman Henon

Before we start our next order of business, the Chair would like to recognize the presence of Senator Larry Farnese. Senator, thank you for joining us.

Council President Clarke

Councilman Oh

Thank you, Mr. President. I offer one privileged resolution co-sponsored by Councilmembers Derek Green, Mark Squilla, Blondell Reynolds Brown, Cindy Bass, and Kenyatta Johnson, and one bill. And may I be heard on the bill briefly after it is read?

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilman.

Chief Clerk

An ordinance amending Title 4 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "The Philadelphia Building Construction and Occupancy Code," Subcode "PM" (The Philadelphia Property Maintenance Code), Chapter 3, "General Requirements," to require inspections of certain bridges, to impose reporting, remediation, and other requirements in connection therewith, all under certain terms and conditions.

Council President Clarke

And that bill will be referred to the Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 appropriate committee. And the Chair recognizes Councilman Oh.

Councilman Oh

Thank you, Mr. President. Last year I introduced a bill regarding orphan bridges and roads, particularly those that are not being inspected and not being maintained in our city, and I worked with at the time Streets Commissioner David Perri, and now he is the Commissioner of L&I and I'd like to credit him with the work that was done in that bill. So although I've introduced it, I'd like to say that he did most of the work there, and as L&I Commissioner, I believe he's come up with a very good solution to the problem of these deteriorating and uninspected bridges, skywalks and other things. Thank you very much.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilman.

Chief Clerk

Senator Larry Farnese, commenting on 160183. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

Good morning, Senator. How are you? SENATOR FARNESE: Good morning. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Thank you, Mr. President. I guess I'm not used to this. We have a different setup in Harrisburg. I'm trying to figure it out, I promise.

Council President Clarke

Serious difference in Harrisburg. SENATOR FARNESE: There's a lot of serious differences, Mr. President. One is this place is only a few blocks down the street from me. So we worry about 76. Thank you again for having me, and thank you to my very good friend, Councilman Squilla, for introducing this resolution in support of my bill, Senate Bill 95, and thank you to the rest of the Council Chamber for your consideration and for having me here today. For those of you who are unaware, my bill, Senate Bill 95, is known as anti-SLAPP legislation, and it provides immunity from civil claims based on protected communications. A SLAPP is a strategic lawsuit against public Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 participation brought against an individual or organization solely to have a chilling effect on the fate of public interest. As the resolution indicates, I was inspired to introduce this legislation after the Old City Civic Association was forced to shut its doors due to an inability to obtain insurance because of several SLAPP lawsuits. When I began this journey, Mr. President, I had no idea that the scope of this issue would be so broad. However, during a Senate hearing in April of 2014, I quickly realized that Old City Association was not alone. At the hearing and in the following weeks, I heard from individuals and organizations across the Commonwealth who had been the victims of SLAPPs. Some have been fighting these lawsuits for years, racking up millions of dollars in legal fees. Each of them spoke on the insurmountable emotional, mental, and Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 financial hardships they faced as a result of these SLAPP lawsuits. My bill gives these individuals and organizations the incentive and the tools to fight back and continue their good work. Let me just be very clear. We heard from folks all across Pennsylvania that came in and from other states as well too, but the primary focus of this legislation is to come to the aid of these civic associations and community groups who need this legislation very, very, very badly. Currently, my bill, Senate Bill 95, is in the House Judiciary Committee. I have written to the chairs of the Committee requesting the bill be brought up for consideration so this important free speech protection can be signed into law. I've also asked that these folks continue to reach out to their Representatives and the members of the Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 House Judiciary Committee to express their support for this important community-protecting legislation. It is my hope that Senate Bill 95 will pass the House very shortly but by the end of this legislative session and that issues of public concern can continue to flourish across the Commonwealth without fear of being silenced by frivolous litigation. Thank you again for having me here.

Council President Clarke

Thank you so much, Senator, for your testimony. It's good seeing you today.

Chief Clerk

Theresa McCormick, commenting on 160183. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

Good morning. MS. McCORMICK: Good morning, Council and members that are here today. With the SLAPP also we want to talk about also the bill that was Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 introduced, 160177. We want clarity, because we are from the Point Breeze area campaign. Members did not -- it was alleged that we made racist remarks. We did not. We stand by and let a market-rate developer fabricate and lie about us that day. We are asking for affordable housing. This meeting was and had 15 developers who wanted to build market-rate housing. The community asked that the developers give back and have affordable housing. The meeting became -- the members in the meeting were upset because the developer told us no and he didn't want to hear what we had to say. In your packet you will see it was said that in other areas of the world, they're going through the same things that we are. It's not -gentrification is not just in Philadelphia. It's going across the world. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 We are showing you, Council, that in terms of new development that are taking place in our communities, that certain developers also are making racist comments, which is making the racial divide. The racial divide in our community has became, which we hate to say, has became again white and black. This is why we're saying that it has -one developer cannot say that we are against a certain group of people. We have always as Christians -- and most of you know me as a Christian. We do not make statements against our brothers. As last month being Black History Month, it hurts me that, as you see in your packet, that there are statements about coming to attack my black brothers in my community. I have came and have written with my lawyers to come and speak with my Councilman about what is going on. On this particular night, I did not receive a phone call from my Councilman like he Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 has done in the past. He has even texted me in the past. He did not ask what happened at that meeting at all. What happened at that meeting in February was all about us wanting affordable housing. This is what it's all about here. So as you see in your packet, we want clarity that bill that was introduced for 160177 also about us, because we're going to continue to fight for affordable housing. It does not have anything to do with whether what we say or do.

Council President Clarke

Ma'am.

Councilman Henon

Can I speak on the bill now. MS. McCORMICK: Okay. Thank you, sir. So what we're asking here --

Council President Clarke

Ma'am, can you wrap up your testimony. MS. McCORMICK: Sure, sir. I'm getting ready to say this.

Council President Clarke

Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Thank you. MS. McCORMICK: So what we're saying in terms of 160177 is to be squashed.

Council President Clarke

Okay. Thank you for your testimony. MS. McCORMICK: Thank you, sir.

Chief Clerk

Tiffany Green, commenting on 160183. (Witness approached podium.)

Ms. Green

First, good morning.

Council President Clarke

You're commenting on the anti-SLAPP legislation?

Ms. Green

Yes, anti-SLAPP bill. We're commenting on that, along with others. First of all, we're asking for a little extra time because according to the Pennsylvania --

Council President Clarke

Can't do extra time.

Ms. Green

Let me just make my Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 time.

Council President Clarke

Three minutes.

Ms. Green

According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision, public comment and testimony is about matters of concern, okay, and as well as what is on the docket, and we should be able to get up to at least five minutes. The Councilman was able to stand up and talk about our group in long term, and we should be able to address this. First of all, like Theresa said, there was nothing -- no racist remarks was made regarding against anyone at all and it was completely twisted and fabricated, and we don't appreciate the media turning it around. We will not -

Council President Clarke

Ms. Green, hold on one second.

Council President Clarke

Councilman Henon.

Councilman Henon

Point of Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 order, Mr. Chairman. I believe the process is to be speaking publicly on a bill or resolution that's on the Final Passage today. Are we doing that in this situation here?

Council President Clarke

Well, from time to time people pretty much don't pay any attention to our rules.

Councilman Henon

We have a lot of business to attend to in today's government and there will be plenty of opportunities to speak publicly on bills and resolutions in their proper hearing. So thank you.

Ms. Green

I would appreciate the time real quick, because the Councilman was given an opportunity and there's some very, we felt, things that were said about our group and personally that we felt is affecting and defaming our character. We have been here a long time. We've come down here to you many times asking for your help. We have been Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 to our Councilman's office numerous times. You've seen him in the hallway and we've had community conflict --

Councilman Henon

Mr. Chairman, please.

Council President Clarke

All right.

Ms. Green

Are you going to let us speak? This is not fair to us. Let us have an opportunity to speak.

Council President Clarke

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Green.

Ms. Green

So, therefore, we're saying -

Council President Clarke

Ms. Green? (Ms. Green talking without microphone.)

Council President Clarke

Ms. Green? (Ms. Green talking without microphone.)

Ms. Green

We think that bill is good because of the fact it protects Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 organizations from being attacked and have been --

Council President Clarke

Ms. Green, the bill is not on the Final Passage Calendar.

Ms. Green

I understand that.

Council President Clarke

So you will have an opportunity when it's on the Final Passage Calendar. (Ms. Green talking without microphone.)

Council President Clarke

Ms. Green, I've been lenient. I've been lenient. We're not going to have a debate.

Ms. Green

You do not want me to speak?

Council President Clarke

I mean, I'm trying to be lenient with you, but I'm not going to have this debate. (Ms. Green talking without microphone.)

Council President Clarke

Thank you. Thank you. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 (Ms. Green talking without microphone.)

Council President Clarke

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Green.

Ms. Green

Thank you very much.

Council President Clarke

Mr. Decker, call the next name.

Chief Clerk

Jeffrey Braff.

Ms. Green

According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, we have the right to do up to five minutes on matters of concern.

Council President Clarke

Well, according to the City Council of Philadelphia, you have three minutes and it must be on the -

Ms. Green

Thank you. We'll come back again and try it again.

Council President Clarke

Thank you so much.

Ms. Green

Thank you.

Council President Clarke

Before we hear testimony on Resolution Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 No. 160157, I want to say a couple of things. That will not be voted on today. And I also want to clarify what has happened with respect to that resolution. I know there's been some interest with respect to the different tax rates. I believe it was erroneously reported on the radio this morning, I heard on the radio station that it was going to be moved today. That will not be moved today. As a result of this resolution and the other proposal by the business or coalition -- I'm not quite clear what they call themselves -- there has been substantive conversations between the various groups. There will not be action on either one of those proposals until that conversation has been concluded. So for those individuals that are here today, first, it will not be voted on today and, second, it will continue to have substantive conversation on that particular subject matter. But you signed up, so we're Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 going to call your name.

Chief Clerk

The following four individuals are commenting on 160157, in this order: Jeffrey Braff, Matthew Fontana, Gabriela Guaracao, and Joseph Danihel. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

You want to testify on this one, sir?

Mr. Danihel

I want to testify on the one with the Redevelopment Authority, sir.

Council President Clarke

That's not this one. That's not that one.

Council President Clarke

Sir, they had your name under 157.

Chief Clerk

Cornelia Swinson. (No response.)

Chief Clerk

Cornelia Swinson, commenting on Councilman Taubenberger's resolution honoring Harriet Tubman. (Witness approached podium.) Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016

Council President Clarke

Good morning.

Ms. Swinson

Good morning, Council. Good morning, Council President and Councilmembers. I'm Cornelia Swinson. I'm Executive Director of the Johnson House Historic Site. I'd like to thank Councilman Taubenberger and Councilwoman Cindy Bass for this resolution. Located in the heart of Germantown at the corner of Germantown Avenue and Washington Lane is Johnson House. It's a 240-year-old farmhouse whose history of anti-slavery activity and Underground Railroad Station puts it right at the center of the struggle for freedom in America. As a center for civil and social advocacy, the Johnson House is about history and more. We also are a place to be used to engage, facilitate conversations, and build advocacy to address contemporary issues that Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 negatively impact the community and empower others to resolve issues today based on our history of blacks and whites, free and not free, enslaved Africans working together. Germantown folks attended the first written protest against slavery in 1688. The Underground Railroad was the most dramatic and, some would argue, the most effective form of radical protest against a system to enslave Africans for economic profit and the successive federal fugitive slave laws to maintain slavery. For hundreds of years, slavery defined the relationship between blacks and whites in what is now the United States. Running away was probably the common and most overt form of resistance to American servitude. Early American newspapers, letters, court proceedings, and other documents reported instances of runaways, both servants and of slaves. Flight was a strategy for many slaves, long before abolition activity and the Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 entire slavery movement helped in its operations, the impulse for self-liberation, outland impulse for social justice. Although anti-slavery advocates, including the Quakers, rejected participation or even sanction of the Underground Railroad, some radical abolitionists believe that helping bondsmen to escape the dramatized (unintelligible) for freedom and health to cripple the slave-based southern economy. The Johnsons were abolitionists and they were very actively involved in the struggle. The legacy of this painful history of slavery, particularly for African Americans, has stayed with us. It burdens our ability to safely manage life in many ways, and the negative impact of that legacy on America today is anger, violence, separation, trauma, oppression, and institutional racism. We must continue to work through the painful Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 history inherited by slavery, and we are very fortunate to have had Harriet Tubman work with the Johnsons in the fight against slavery and the struggle for freedom. Thank you.

Council President Clarke

Thank you for your testimony, ma'am. (Applause.)

Chief Clerk

Yuval Yarden, commenting on Councilman Taubenberger's resolution honoring Harriet Tubman -commenting on Councilman Domb's Amplified Philly resolution.

Ms. Yarden

Councilman Domb and staff, thank you for having me here today and, City Council, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. My name is Yuval and I'm the Program Director for Philly Startup Leaders. It's a non-profit organization created to support founders and building their startups in Philadelphia and, therefore, growing the startup ecosystem here in our Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 city. Today I'm here to talk to you about the South by Southwest initiative. We believe that Philadelphia deserves to be recognized as a tech and innovation hub on a national level. We here know that we're equipped to support the startup growth, but we need to work on amplifying that message on a national level and a broader level. So as young people, Dave Silver, who has been working on this with me, we're both 24, we graduated from Temple, we see this amazing opportunity for people to build and grow their careers and businesses in Philadelphia, and we want to figure out a way to tell everyone that so that we're not just, you know, stumbled upon, but that we're advertised as a place where this can happen. When they leave New York, San Francisco, Boston because they're exhausted by it, they can come to Philly where you can have a high quality of Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 life, lots of resources, and a connected community that can support you. And we're here to support you, City Council, in developing our city's economy. Investing in a technology job is a job creation accelerator essentially. So every high-tech job that's created creates five more jobs for it. And those jobs aren't only in technology. It could be anywhere from like dentists and doctors and trash collectors and teachers and everything. So it's not just more high-tech jobs. So we've gone through interviews, focus groups, surveys to better understand how we can amplify this message that Philadelphia could be nationally known as a tech hub, and we've decided to head down to Austin, Texas tomorrow for South by Southwest, one of the most influential technology and innovation conferences in the world. Cities like DC, Las Vegas, Chicago have been there for years and we haven't. So Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 how can we expect people to think that we're at their level of opportunity in terms of innovation and technology? So we're going down to be alongside those cities. We've created a true public-private partnership and launched it through a grassroots initiative. Like I said, Dave and I just graduated from Temple University and we've gotten our colleagues and our friends to join, but people like Comcast and Independence Blue Cross have been able to sponsor us, as well as vendor capitalists and founders. So it's a grassroots initiative, led by two young people who see this opportunity in Philadelphia. We're lucky to have amazing support from the City of Philadelphia through the Department of Commerce as well as a coalition of 30 stakeholders and over 100 Philadelphians that will be coming down with us to Austin starting tomorrow. Some of them are already Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 there. PHL looks forward to working with City Council and the Administration in the future on continuing this work to become nationally known as a tech and innovation hub. So thank you.

Council President Clarke

Thank you for your testimony, ma'am.

Chief Clerk

Carol Green, commenting on 160018. (Witness approached podium.)

Council President Clarke

Good morning.

Ms. Green

Good morning. As usual, I need you to pray for me. I don't want them to tear the churches down. On 19th and Catharine Street, on 20th and Fitzwater Street, and 19th and Fitzwater Street, these churches were torn down and also -- I'm sorry. But I didn't want them to tear the churches down and I don't understand why they've been doing that. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 I need the churches because of the kind of person that I am. I go to church because I want God to cleanse me every day, because I've been a sinful person in my life and --

Council President Clarke

Ma'am?

Ms. Green

I'm sorry.

Council President Clarke

The resolution you reference on your testimony is the smoking policy. Is that what you're testifying on today?

Ms. Green

Smoking policy?

Council President Clarke

Yes. The resolution you referenced is about the smoking policy inside of apartments and households.

Ms. Green

Oh, I'm sorry. Please forgive me, everyone. I don't agree.

Council President Clarke

That's okay.

Ms. Green

I'm sorry. It's my fault. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016

Council President Clarke

No problem.

Ms. Green

Is it all right to continue?

Council President Clarke

Well, if you have testimony on that particular resolution, but it didn't sound like you were talking about that subject matter.

Ms. Green

I'm sorry.

Council President Clarke

It's okay.

Ms. Green

It was a misunderstanding. I signed the wrong paper, I guess. But I don't like the smoking in the apartment buildings. In one particular apartment building it smells like they smoking marijuana, and I don't like that. But anyway, I just -- I'm grateful that I thank God for letting me speak. And I apologize to everyone here and out there that might be looking on television or if I offended you. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016

Council President Clarke

That's okay.

Ms. Green

So God is able. Just don't give up. Thank you.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, ma'am.

Chief Clerk

Arnold Jones, also commenting on 160018. (Witness approached podium.)

Mr. Jones

Good afternoon.

Council President Clarke

Good afternoon.

Mr. Jones

I just wanted to get a little bit more clarity on this issue, because it definitely will save lives. And I just want you guys to elaborate on the entirety of this particular proposed bill. Can you give me a little bit of understanding. It's smoking. Smoking marijuana? Smoking cigarettes? Where can we get more information on it? Well, the reason I ask is Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 because like the lady just said a minute ago, that is a major issue, and I think it would help better the quality of life for the residents in the event that there are specific stipulations about what things can't be used as far as smoking devices, and you should also incorporate the e-cigarettes as well. So I'll just do a little bit more research, but I just wanted to ask that question. Thank you.

Council President Clarke

Okay. Thank you. Thank you for your testimony, sir.

Chief Clerk

Joseph Danihel, commenting on the Redevelopment Authority resolution on the Calendar, 160179. (Witness approached podium.)

Mr. Danihel

I'm here again about the Redevelopment Authority.

Council President Clarke

Sir? Sir?

Mr. Danihel

At this time, I Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 am without my home at 1038 West Wyoming due to the egregious actions and inactions of this legislative body. I quote George Mason, delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia: "Can anyone be above the law?" YouTube, another thing; James Dupree; my story is tragic, but it's not alone. It is about the principles that our government would act so egregiously on taxpayers. You, agents and agencies, are bound by oath of office to support, obey, and defend the Constitution and laws. Like in Flint, Michigan, the government stalls while the people suffer. Council passes paperwork regarding national issues for which they have no jurisdiction while ignoring this issue. Council recently passed a resolution about Flint, Michigan. Do I, a taxpayer in Philadelphia, have to go to Flint, Michigan to get them to pass a Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 resolution that the City of Philadelphia solves my problem? As of today, I have had very little response from Council, the Mayor's Office -- very little response from Council. The Mayor's Office will not address any of my issues, saying it is Council's problem. For the City has up to $100 billion to give to a contractor to build a mall on my not-paid-for home. I find this unacceptable. Who supervises the Redevelopment Authority? Who appoints the Board members? Why doesn't Council investigate? Why does Council continue to fund and use the Redevelopment Authority? Why doesn't the DA investigate? In my opinion, the City is taking the Catholic church pedophile priest method of denial while not dealing with this issue. Council and the Mayor's Office show no concern to solve this. They seem to want to spend lots of money to litigate instead. Council, the Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Mayor's Office, RDA, and their attorneys have opposed the Seventh Amendment common law jury trial in my situation. These articles and previous submissions require immediate de-funding and investigation of the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority before more laws, as in the above and previously mentioned, are violated by you, the agents and agencies of the government. And now duly notified since December 3rd of last year, you are, in this member of the people's opinion, accessories after the fact. See 42 USC 1985, 1986. You have taken the oath to support, obey, and defend the Constitution and law. Now let's get to work and solve this problem.

Council President Clarke

Thank you.

Chief Clerk

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

And a resolution acknowledging and recognizing Startup PHL Presents: Amplify Philly SXSW Edition, a partnership of 30 public and private organizations, that have joined together to highlight Philadelphia's startup and tech community and promote Philadelphia as a hub for startups at the South by Southwest Conference & Festival taking place March 11th through March 20th in Austin, Texas, introduced by Councilman Domb.

Council President Clarke

The Chair recognizes Councilman Domb.

Councilman Domb

Thank you, Council President. I'd like to speak to this resolution.

Council President Clarke

Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 3/10/16 - STATED - 2ND READING Please do.

Councilman Domb

First, thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to acknowledge and commend all those involved in this effort that has resulted in a worthy initiative, the Startup Philadelphia Presents: Amplify Philly South by Southwest Edition. As a result of cooperation and coordinated efforts of the community, City government, and the private sector, Philadelphia and its startup entrepreneurial and tech community will present and showcase a unified Philadelphia for the first time at the South by Southwest Conference & Festival, which is one of the most influential technology conferences in the world. Although in recent years the focus on supporting startups in the City has increased significantly with corporations such as Comcast and Independence Blue Cross investing in innovation, we need to continue to build Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 3/10/16 - STATED - 2ND READING on this momentum. The economic multiplier, as you heard earlier, for tech jobs is five to one, meaning for every new high-tech job, there are five other jobs created. Mostly surprisingly though of this, two of the five jobs are professional jobs such as physicians or attorneys, while the other three jobs created are occupations like waiters, retail clerks, cooks. And, by the way, one of my first jobs was a dishwasher at Howard Johnson's. To put this in perspective, though, between 2009 and 2013, New York City has seen an explosive growth 33 times that what we've seen in Philadelphia. By the way, 16 years ago in New York City they had zero jobs in tech. Today they have 543,000. We have 14,000. This is our future, building tech. But it gets better. The tech industry offers employment opportunities for workers with different levels of Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 3/10/16 - STATED - 2ND READING education, not just those with technical backgrounds. A report commissioned by the Association for a Better New York, Citi, Google, New York Tech Meetup found that 60 percent of the jobs at tech firms did not require a Bachelor's degree. All that being said, this is a great opportunity for us to showcase our local Philadelphia area. And I want to again commend all those involved in this wonderful initiative and wish them lots of success in Austin and continue to make Philadelphia proud. On one final note, the City of Philadelphia has relaunched startupphiladelphia.com, a site designed to serve as the online gateway to tech in Philadelphia. With that said, Mr. President, I make a motion for the adoption of this resolution. (Duly seconded.)

Council President Clarke

Thank you. It's been moved and properly Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 3/10/16 - STATED - 2ND READING seconded. All those in favor? (Aye.)

Councilman Taubenberger

Thank you so much. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 3/10/16 - STATED - 2ND READING The genesis of this resolution really came from a very dear friend and former member of this body, Councilman Thacher Longstreth, who was so honored and so impressed by his great grandmother, Anne Longstreth, who has actually very much worked on the Underground Railroad and in many cases with Harriet Tubman, who had told me this story. So I thought it was very apropos to introduce this resolution on the date of her passing 103 years later. And I thank Councilwoman Bass as well for helping me introduce this as well as being a co-sponsor and all members of Council who have signed on as signators. And at this point, I move for the adoption of this resolution. (Duly seconded.)

There are no other resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. That concludes our Calendar for today. Are there any speeches on the part of the minority? The Chair recognizes Councilman Taubenberger.

Councilman Taubenberger

Thank you very much. Just a couple of quick remarks, one of congratulatory and the other is for us to think about. As the father of a Pennsylvania Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Trooper, hearing the news of so many injuries and even deaths of police officers in the last couple weeks, I would just urge my colleagues to think of the fine work men and women are doing across this nation to protect our laws, our property, and our way of life, and I would urge that. The second is more of a congratulatory situation because I like sports and I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Roman Catholic High School Basketball Team on their District 12 Catholic League Championship on February the 26th. I'd also like to let everyone know that they are currently playing in the state tournament. They won their first game, and their second game was last night, and they also won that. We at City Council want to cheer them as they go on their way to quarter finals of the state championship, and their game is this coming Saturday, Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 12th. Go Cahillites. Thank you.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilman. On behalf of the majority, the Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.

Councilman Jones

Thank you, Mr. President. As the weather breaks from winter to spring, over the last 48 hours all hell broke loose in our communities. We experienced a number of shootings and also murders in batches. What troubles me most about it is that the almost sense of normalcy that sometimes we experience in these besieged communities. It's like growing up or having to live in Fallujah or some other battleground where people get battle-hardened and used to the fatalities. We should never ever get used to that. We are working to do some things about it here in Council. You have empowered a committee to look at the Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 about how we can make long-term change on this process, which I appreciate you taking the foresight to do. My colleague Councilman Johnson put about 50 pastors in, faith-based ministers from -- 70 ministers and clergymen from Islamic culture and others in the room to talk about long-term solutions. We are doing something about it with the committee hearing that's coming up to look at illegal trafficking of guns and things that come into our city. But I want to urge my colleagues in this Chamber to take advantage of one other tool and, that is, the power of the budget. There will be dozens of departments that come before us over the next month or two, and we should look and challenge each and every one of them to see how they can be a part of the solution to moving this away. You challenged the Streets Department to hire returning citizens and Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 them, because some of the best deterrent of future violence is a working citizen that's too tired to go out and do the foolishness. We need to look at the Rec Department and say what happened to the after-school, after-hour programs that they used to put together that can give a person something to do to occupy mind and a restless spirit. We need to look at your idea of community schools. One of my young pups last night at a community meeting talked about two bookbags, one they carry with the lessons of the day but the other one with the troubles from home. We need to use the power of the budget to take a look at why in the City of Philadelphia our babies are killing each other. They're just straight genocidal killing each other. And if all lives matter, if black lives matter, I want us during this budget period to make Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 put our money where our mouth is. And I want to say this to you, that if we had, what, 280 murders last year, we're already in the first quarter and we're up 4 percent. If 280 wales washed up on the shore of the Schuylkill, there would be every marine biologist from here to Miami trying to figure out why this phenomena is happening to our wales or our bottlenose dolphins. Three hundred babies die every year in the City of Philadelphia. Nobody really kind of takes that in a national press way. So I'm saying to you, Mr. President, and I'm saying to my colleagues, if no one else is going to stand up for us, we need to stand up for us, and we need to change the paradigm so we don't have it. (Applause.)

Councilman Jones

Thank you, Mr. President. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilman. Well said. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown.

Councilwoman Brown

Thank you, Mr. President. I am going to yield to Councilwoman Parker and would like to speak immediately following Councilwoman Parker.

Council President Clarke

Okay. You guys got something worked out over there, huh?

Councilwoman Brown

Yes.

Council President Clarke

The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Parker.

Councilwoman Parker

Thank you, Mr. President. Councilwoman Reynolds Brown and I wanted to use this opportunity to note for the record that on March the 6th of this year, the City of Philadelphia at large and the West Oak Lane community in particular lost one of our trailblazing mighty lions in the passing of the late Dr. Dean R. Hodges. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 who are familiar with West Oak Lane, you know that for years when you drove through the 6700 block of Wyncote Avenue coming up Limekiln Pike, there was this noted veterinarian's office that was there. And I would dare say to you that Dr. Hodges did not establish his office in West Oak Lane because he had to. He established it there because he chose to. And with that being said, we wanted to pay homage to him and send our thoughts and prayers to his son, Dr. Eric Hodges, and the entire family and to the Alpha men. He was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, a graduate of Tuskegee, and a soror. Blondell Reynolds Brown and I joshed each other yesterday about the savviness of soror Barbara Hodges, who was one of our Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated sisters. So we just wanted to note that on this coming Saturday, March the 12th, 2016, there will be a viewing from 8:00 Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 10:00 a.m., an Alpha Phi Alpha Omega service at 9:15, and the service of remembrance at 10:00, and all of this is taking place at the Bethlehem Baptist Church located at 712 Penllyn Pike in Spring House, PA 19477. Thank you, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair now again recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown.

Councilwoman Brown

Thank you, Mr. President. I too wanted to speak more about Dr. Dean Hodges and then make a friendly announcement. But his story is extraordinary, and I'm one who likes to put things in context of the pioneer that he was that many years ago. During his time, only 783 African American students were enrolled in American medical colleges nationwide. While diversity in the medical profession has improved since then, it by no means reflects the demographics of the United Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 that in 2014, only 5.5 percent of physicians and surgeons identified as African American and 6.3 percent as Hispanic. Out of over 89,000 students in medical schools last year, only 5,000 African Americans and 3,000 Hispanics were a member of that population. So it's clear to me that Dr. Hodges was a true pioneer and I would go further to say a role model in Philadelphia's medical community, helping set the stage for African Americans throughout the City to follow his example. Lastly, I'll underscore, as has already been acknowledged, he was a loyal Tuskegee alumnus where he served as treasurer of that chapter and traveled back and forth to Alabama to participate in the Annual Vet Medicine Symposiums. And because of his influence, many students who have chosen Tuskegee pledge my former colleague's fraternity, Alpha Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Alpha, and teenagers had summer and after-school jobs right there in the West Oak Lane community because he was a model citizen. So I join my colleague in lifting up this family as they prepare for accepting a legacy that he's leaving for his nine grandchildren. Lastly, my announcement, with us today is Dr. Sean Vereen, who is the President of Steppingstone Scholars. You want to stand, Sean. And we should all know that Steppingstone works very, very closely with families and school partners centered and focused on one singular mission - gearing up and preparing and wrapping their arms around talented underserved students in the Philadelphia region to help them achieve academic success with a college degree. We will be joining with Steppingstones this coming Saturday and Sunday at the University of the Sciences Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Step Into College experience. We have partnered with the School District and a number of others and will be wrapping our arms and hopefully inspiring over 500 young people that will be joining us at the University Sciences. I want to salute Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, Chair of the Education Committee. It is in her district, and we're delighted that she'll be joining us, along with our new Chief Education Officer, Otis Hackney. So this is a partnership with Steppingstones that we're proud of, and we urge all members to get the word out to young people in your districts who are just looking for an opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives and join us this coming Saturday and Sunday at U Sciences. Thank you, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 Gym.

Councilwoman Gym

Thank you very much, Mr. President. This morning the School District of Philadelphia in a meeting with principals announced that they will be restoring full-time nurses and -- one full-time nurse and one full-time counselor back to every Philadelphia public school. (Applause.)

Councilwoman Gym

And they're also announcing that they're going to push out additional dollars to schools, at least five figures for every school, to address the resource deficits that have been in existence for the last several years. I believe personally and it's my proudest thing that to be part of a Council that I think made that happen. For years, school nurses have been out rallying in front of 440. Parents have been talking about what it means to send Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 suffering from asthma, diabetes. Principals have been talking about what it's like to give insulin shots and dispense medication to dozens of students throughout the day. But these things moved when Council's Intergovernmental Agreement Authority came together, looked at a quarterly report that showed that the District did have some resources to start looking and addressing these things, and then began an unprecedented push to really hold the School District accountable. This week, along with Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, the Committees on Education and Children and Youth have been holding town halls and have been attracting a lot of residents to talk about new priorities for the School District. I believe that it's time for City Council to take a look and push politically, that the resources that are going out to our young people are not just a matter of dollars. Of course it Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 state budget to come through. We need support. We need to have a responsible payment for our property taxes and all those kinds of things, but it's also a matter of priorities, and when we unify around a set of priorities, we're going to see things happen, not five years down the road, but we can see them happen tomorrow. We're going to get some new programs in and money for kids, and then next year we're going to see full-time nurses and counselors. Council helped make that happen, and I'm proud to be part of that. Next Tuesday, Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez will be hosting an education town hall at Edison High School at 5:30 p.m. Welcome all of our colleagues here. And I just personally want to thank Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell for being such a great mentor and supporter and fighter to this cause for many years. She's got a lot of Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 So thank you. (Applause.)

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. And the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Quinones-Sanchez.

Councilwoman Sanchez

Thank you, Mr. President. I wanted to echo some of the words that Councilman Jones was talking about. Every morning I'm lucky enough to have my son come in my room before he goes to school, and this morning I asked him what are you going to do after school, because of the warm weather. And he said, Why? I said, Where are you going? I said, Please don't come downtown. And he said, Why? And I said, We had an incident with young people downtown yesterday and I want you to be careful. And he said to me, Mom, that's Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 go around the corner where there was a shooting a couple of weeks ago. He's very sassy. And so I began to preach to him about not being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and he said to me, Mom, that's what happens when young people have a TransPass and nowhere to go. And so when Councilman Jones mentioned -- I subsequently went downstairs and watched Councilman Jones and Councilman Johnson talk on Fox News about the recent violence and particularly the youth violence work that they're doing, and, you know, Councilman Jones talked about all lives matter and about it's not one strategy but a combination of strategies that need to take place so that we can deal with these issues. And that's why I agree with him that this budget, this very ambitious budget, needs to really be a neighborhood stimulus package that looks at how do we Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 what, Council President, you constantly say, jobs, jobs, jobs. How do we create opportunities for returning citizens and our young people. But more than just investing in the capital improvements, we really need to invest in people, and we need to make sure that there are people in these buildings that care about our children, that there are people in these buildings, those volunteer coaches and others, that we support so that they provide these opportunities. And I say this in memory of the legacy of Mr. Billy Gambrel, Representative Dawkins' grandfather, who was an incredible pioneer and actually the only living person to have a rec center named after him. We celebrated "Bam," the Broncos winner here, who was a Frankford Charger. Mr. Gambrel took care of hundreds of kids in the Frankford community and inspired many of us, and in tribute to his legacy yesterday at his viewing, I talked about how we needed to Stated Meeting Invocation March 10, 2016 everyone's children, because they're all our children. Thank you, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. Well said. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.

Councilwoman Blackwell

Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to thank Councilwoman Gym, and all our new people are very, very talented, bright, committed people. It is because of her work and we're seeing many great things happen and because of all the members of Council. Our Education and Children and Youth Committees met, and the intelligent questions, the committed research, all the issues we mentioned with regard to money and financing in your leadership, Mr. President, have made a difference I'm sure in that money being released. So I want to say thank you to all.
