READ     Action details Not available 130622 0     COMMUNICATION September 6, 2013 To The President and Members of The Council of the City of Philadelphia: For the reasons discussed below, I am returning Bill No. 120142-A (passed June 20, 2013) to your Honorable Body without my signature. Bill No. 120142-A would require the Managing Director to ensure that, by no later than June 30, 2014 a broad "electronic option" would be incorporated into a far-reaching array of City services and functions. The Managing Director is further directed by the bill to create a "unique identifier" for each citizen or business, to associate with all transactions by that individual or entity; to report on workflow processes for every citizen-City interaction, including all license and permit applications and all payments to the City; and to file a written report with Council after 180 days, detailing the workflow process for each such interaction or transaction.

Under Bill No. 130308-A, taxpayers who timely appeal their property assessments for Tax Year 2014 would only be required pay an amount equal only to their prior year's property tax amount, subject to the outcome of the appeal. Should they lose the appeal, they would be liable for the increased amount of tax, but not for interest and penalties on that amount. The Bill would apply only to Tax Year 2014. As my Administration has testified, I believe that every taxpayer who has a legitimate reason to appeal a property assessment must be able to appeal. I wholeheartedly acknowledge that this is only more so in a year when taxpayers are adjusting to new assessments under the Actual Value Initiative. And I believe that the current system is prepared to meet this challenge.

The strategic plan as set forth in the bill would require assessments of how the City plans to make information technology systems more effective and efficient, reduce costs, make public records available on the internet, and ensure electronic options for all transactions between the City and its employees and its citizens.
