READ     Action details Not available 041025 0     COMMUNICATION November 18, 2004 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am returning herewith as disapproved Bill No. 040779, passed by the Council on October 28, 2004. This Bill would transfer $6,776,000 in appropriation from Finance Department - Benefits to the Fire Department Class 100 appropriation, in violation of the FY05-FY09 Five-Year Financial Plan approved by PICA. The FY05 Operating Budget approved by City Council included budget increases for a few line items, primarily benefit costs and the Department of Human Services' needs-based budget, but the majority of City departments took significant budget reductions totaling $107.1 million. The budget of the Fire Department, which is the City's third-largest department, received a reduction, approved by City Council, for the first time in fifteen years as part of this total reduction of $107.1 million. In the fifteen years that the Fire Department has received steadily increasing appropriations while other departments have taken cuts, the number of structural fires has dropped dramatically. I READ     Action details Not available 041026 0     COMMUNICATION November 18, 2004 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am returning herewith as unsigned Bill Nos. 040785 and 040786, passed by the Council on October 28, 2004. These bills amend the City's FY05 Capital Budget and FY05-FY10 Capital Program to add $7 million in the FY05 Capital Budget for the Recreational Facilities improvement allocation that is allocated to District City Council members. Between FY99, when District Council members first received an allocation of $1.2 million of Capital Budget funding each, and FY04, the City's Capital Budget declined by more than a third. The Capital Budget has been shrinking consistently since the mid-1990s because of the City's dwindling legal debt capacity under state law, as well as our increasing overall debt burden, yet City Council was not asked to share in that reduction until the FY05 Capital Budget. The City Planning Commission estimates that a city of Philadelphia's size, age and population requires double the amount of the current capital program to address our physical infrastructure READ     Action details Not available 041027 0     COMMUNICATION November 17, 2004 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA: I am herewith returning to you without my signature Bill Number 040184, which would amend Title 17 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Contracts and Procurement," by adding a new Chapter 17-1200 entitled "Foreign Outsourcing," prohibiting City service contracts under which the work is performed outside the United States. The intent of the legislation is to preserve City service contracts for local and/or domestic entities. In light of our current economic climate and rising unemployment rates, the intent of Bill 040184 is laudable. However, because Bill 040184 prohibits the City from entering into competitively bid and non-competitive service contracts with entities who perform any part of the work in any location outside the United States, and would require the City to include such a prohibition in every service contract, it exceeds Council's legislative authority. The Law Department has returned Bill 040184 without the Solicitor's signature, based on its opinion that this bill excee READ     Action details Not available 041028 0     COMMUNICATION Transmitting a resolution approving the redevelopment contract and disposition supplement of the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Philadelphia for the redevelopment and urban renewal of a portion of the 44th and Aspen Urban Renewal Area designated as Parcel Nos. 25, 26, 27 & 28 also sometimes identified by house number and street address for Parcel No. 25 as 867-869 North Forty-sixth street, for Parcel No. 26 as 853 North Forty-sixth street, for Parcel No. 27 as 4647-4651 Westminster avenue and for Parcel No. 28 as 4611 Westminster avenue and a portion of the West Mill Creek Addition Urban Renewal Area designated as Parcel Nos. 1 & 2 also sometimes identified by house numbers and street addresses for Parcel No. 1 as 862-866 North Forty-sixth street and for Parcel No. 2 as 889-897 June street; authorizing the Redevelopment Authority to execute the redevelopment contract with Philadelphia Housing Authority and to take such action as may be necessary to effectuate the redevelopment contract and disposition supplement, accompanied by an explanatory letter from the Executive Directo READ     Action details Not available 041029 0     COMMUNICATION Transmitting a resolution approving the redevelopment contract and disposition supplement of the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Philadelphia for the redevelopment and urban renewal of a portion of the Model Cities Urban Renewal Area, designated as Parcel No. 469 also sometimes identified by house number and street address as 149-153 Laurel street; and authorizing the Redevelopment Authority to execute the redevelopment contract with Onion Flats, LLC and to take such action as may be necessary to effectuate the redevelopment contract and disposition supplement, accompanied by an explanatory letter from the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Authority, accompanied by an explanatory letter from the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Authority.
