260666 0  COMMUNICATIONSeptember 15, 2026 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am hereby returning unsigned Bill Number 260303, introduced by Councilmember Nina Ahmad, and passed by City Council on July 11, 2026. Bill Number 260303 creates various duties for City agencies that perform U- and T- Visa investigations and certification applications. This federal program was created by Congress in 2000 through the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (TVPA) to encourage immigrant victims of serious crimes to cooperate with law enforcement without the fear of deportation consequences. The program allows certain crime victims who assist police or prosecutors in investigations to seek lawful immigration status through U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS). Currently, recognized as a federally certifying agency, the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) existing practices have been consistent with the requirements set forth in this Bill. The PPD has historically acknowledged receipt of U-Visa requests, provided written notice and explanations for dREAD AND FILED   Action details Not available
260667 0  COMMUNICATIONSeptember 15, 2026 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am hereby returning unsigned Bill Number 260239, introduced by Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, and passed by City Council on June 11, 2026. Bill Number 260239 would change the zoning for the property at 5900 Baltimore Avenue where Motivation High School and KIPP West Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School are located, from RSA-5, Residential Single-Family Attached to SP-CIV, Special Purpose - Civic, Educational, and Medical. This limits the potential future use of this property. I question the prudence and potential long-term unintended consequences for rezoning properties owned by the Philadelphia schools in this manner. For these reasons, I am returning Bill Number 260239 unsigned. Respectfully, Cherelle L. Parker MayorREAD AND FILED   Action details Not available
260668 0  COMMUNICATIONSeptember 15, 2026 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am hereby returning unsigned Bill Number 260238, introduced by Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, and passed by City Council on June 4, 2026. Bill Number 260238 would amend the Philadelphia Zoning Maps by changing the zoning designations of certain areas of land located within an area bounded by Ludlow Street, South 41st Street, West Girard Avenue, and North 48th Street, in several neighborhoods of the West and University/Southwest Planning Districts. The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 21, 2026, recommended Bill No. 260238 not be approved. For this reason, I am returning Bill Number 260238 unsigned. Respectfully, Cherelle L. Parker MayorREAD AND FILED   Action details Not available
260669 0  COMMUNICATIONSeptember 15, 2026 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am hereby returning unsigned Bill Number 251021, introduced by Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, and passed by City Council on June 11, 2026. Bill Number 251021 would change the eligibility threshold for residential water customers to enroll in the Income-based Water Rate Assistance Program, commonly known as the Tiered Assistance Program (TAP) and affordable payment plans. While increasing access to affordability programs is a laudable goal, given the Water Department is financially dependent on rates and charges paid by customers for the services it provides, we are concerned about the loss of revenue projected from increasing the eligibility threshold and the resulting inequitable rate increases for Non-TAP customers the Water Department would need to implement to recover the lost revenue. For these reasons, I am returning Bill Number 251021 unsigned. Respectfully, Cherelle L. Parker MayorREAD AND FILED   Action details Not available
260671 0  COMMUNICATIONSeptember 15, 2026 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am hereby returning unsigned Bill Number 260521 introduced by Councilmember Jones on behalf of Council President Johnson and passed by City Council on June 11, 2026. This bill modifies the circumstances when certain City employees are entitled to service-connected death benefits. This bill seeks to address a legitimate issue and policy concern, however, as written it is overly broad, and does not address several legal and ethical concerns. For these reasons, I am returning Bill Number 260521 unsigned. Respectfully, Cherelle L. Parker MayorREAD AND FILED   Action details Not available
