Aye. The ayes are 16. The nays are zero. A majority of all members having voted in the affirmative, this bill passes. That concludes our calendar for today. Are there speeches on the part of the minority?
I've been waiting, and I think many other Philadelphians have been waiting patiently for some statement or study or some analysis of the report that linked the Mayor among the three worst mayors in the nation. And we've been waiting for some response by the Mayor as to the impact of that statement on the future of Philadelphia. There's been none. Therefore, I'm requesting information as to how we get this matter put on the agenda to communicate to the Mayor the desire of my desire, a desire of other Council members also, to get a report from the Mayor on what the impact of those statements will be on Philadelphia's efforts to spur economic development and maintain the status of a world class City. And if there is no given procedure for doing that, then I would request that the President communicate to the Mayor the request that he appear at the next meeting of Stated - 4/21/05 City Council, for the purpose of giving us his evaluation of the effect of the report and what ought we to do about it. I note briefly only that the Mayor said he's not losing sleep over it, but I think many Philadelphians are. Many Philadelphians are dependent on the job for growth of jobs in this City, and they're worried to death about the impact. So I think it would be very good if we opened discussion on that matter. So, I'm requesting that action be taken to include this item on the agenda next week in some fashion, as the President decides.
Thank you Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Kelly
Yes. Madam, thank you, Madam President. I just wanted to take this opportunity to welcome Councilwoman Krajewski back here. It's nice to hear the wrath of Joan every once in a while to keep Stated - 4/21/05 this Council on their toes.
Thank you. Are there any other speeches on the part of the minority or majority? (No response.)
Seeing none, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Tasco for a motion to adjourn.
