Title: January 28, 2002 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am returning herewith as disapproved, Bill Number 010493-A. Council passed this bill at its session on December 20, 2001. Bill Number 010493-A proposes to amend section 20-101 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Residence Requirements," to provide that an employee in the civil service need not be a "bona fide resident" of the City when appointed, but rather must establish and maintain bona fide residence in the City within six months after appointment. Simply put, this bill would completely eliminate the pre-employment residency requirement for civil service employment and only require that all new civil service employees establish residency in the city within six months. It was asserted at the hearing for this bill that relaxing the residency requirement would make it both easier to attract highly qualified candidates to government service and would act as an indirect catalyst for attracting new residents to the City of Philadelphia. However, not a shred of concrete credibl

Title: January 28, 2002 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADLEPHIA: I am returning herewith as disapproved Bill Number 010646, entitled "An Ordinance amending Chapter 20-500 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled 'Councilmanic Districts,' by revising the boundaries of the Councilmanic Districts, under certain terms and conditions." Council passed this bill at its session on December 20, 2001. Bill 010646 would redraw the boundaries of the City's ten Councilmanic districts pursuant to Council's obligation under section 2-102 of the Home Rule Charter to do so after the federal government's completion of the census. As you know, redistricting is intended to adjust for geographic shifts in the City's population, in order to maintain roughly equal numbers of people in each of the ten districts. Equalization of population - in order to maintain the Constitutional principle of "one person-one vote" -- is a requirement of federal and state law as well as a requirement of our Charter. The equalization of population, however, only establishes the framework

Title: Budget Address Mayor John F. Street January 29, 2002 Council President Verna, members of City Council, members of my Cabinet and Administration, special friends and guests: Good morning. Last January, I stood before you and proudly announced - "We are a government that gets things done." 2001 was a year of difficult challenges. Nonetheless, it was a year of accomplishment. Sustained by our shared ideals and nourished by pride in our great City, we continue to make progress on behalf of the people, the businesses which employ our workers, and the great region of which we are a vital part. Today, I can modify my statement from a year ago: we are a government that gets things done despite a series of difficult challenges - • despite a national economic downturn and the abrupt end to the longest period of economic expansion in our history; • despite a changing and very challenging political environment; • despite the escalating security costs and emotional trauma caused by the tragic events of September 11. Vince Lombardi, the ledgendary former coach of the
