Official:Authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property on behalf of the City of Philadelphia to execute and deliver to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Philadelphia, without consideration, a deed conveying fee simple title to a parcel of City-owned land with the buildings and improvements thereon known as 1901-15 West Oxford Street, for the purpose of the Redevelopment Authority entering into a redevelopment agreement for the property with the Sultan Jihad Ahmad Community Foundation or its designee, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: June 12, 2003
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2000–2003 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill allows the city to transfer ownership of a vacant lot at 1901-15 West Oxford Street to the Redevelopment Authority for development by the Sultan Jihad Ahmad Community Foundation or its designee.
