(File No. 200643) THE COMMUNICATION WAS READ AND FILED. November 10, 2020 City of Philadelphia -2- JOURNAL OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am hereby returning with my signature Bill No. 200538, which was passed by Council at its session on October 29, 2020. This bill requires that the Police Department have a written policy prohibiting officers from using “less lethal force,” such as tear gas and rubber bullets, against individuals lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. The Law Department identified a potential legal issue regarding enforceability of the bill due to the separation of powers. The Home Rule Charter vests all executive powers in the Mayor, and therefore City Council has no authority to direct the manner in which the Police Department carries out its duties. However, this issue is moot due to my Administration’s long-standing agreement with such a policy. That is why the Police Department’s policy already prohibits the use of force on individuals engaged in peaceful, constitutionally protected First Amendment activities, even if a protestor passively resists Police commands. To emphasize and clarify any ambiguities, the Department is expected to update its written policies, which will then align even more closely with this bill. I would be remiss, however, if I did not reiterate the distinction between Constitutionally protected activity, on the one hand, and unlawful destruction of property or violence, on the other, which Commissioner Outlaw explained in her testimony before the Committee on Public Safety. Once that line is crossed, the bill’s prohibition does not apply. In those instances, the Police Department will use whatever means at their disposal, consistent with department policy and proportional to the threat posed, in order to neutralize such situations. For these reasons, I am returning with my signature, Bill No. 200538. Respectfully, JAMES F. KENNEY Mayor (File No. 200644) THE COMMUNICATION WAS READ AND FILED. November 10, 2020 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: City of Philadelphia -3- JOURNAL OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA I am hereby returning without my signature Bill No. 200417, which was passed by Council at its session on October 29, 2020. This bill requires a permit applicant that is not a person (e.g. an LLC) to provide the full names and addresses of the entity’s responsible officers and principal beneficial owners. This information would be listed in the application, Registered Community Organization notification letter, Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) poster, posted permit, and work site signage. As the Philadelphia City Planning Commission and Licenses & Inspections (L&I) explained to not only the bill sponsor, but also at the Committee hearing, this proposed change is significant. Upgrades to eCLIPSE, L&I’s permitting system, come at a substantial cost, while the bill will generate no additional revenue. Furthermore, it will take time for eCLIPSE to be updated to allow for proper intake and distribution of the new information. Despite this, my administration’s request to delay implementation until eCLIPSE can be updated, and its explanation for such request, went ignored. As is, the bill leaves the ZBA poster as the applicant's responsibility, which could cause compliance issues. For these reasons, I am returning without my signature, Bill No. 200417. Respectfully, JAMES F. KENNEY Mayor (File No. 200645) THE COMMUNICATION WAS READ AND FILED.
