Official:Amending Section 18-201 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Leases of Airport Facilities," by requiring Council approval of rates, charges and fees set forth in certain leases or other agreements relating to the use of City airport facilities, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Verna
Introduced: February 17, 2005
: Committee on Commerce & Economic Development
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2004–2007 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 requires City Council approval for any rate, charge, or fee set in airport leases or agreements that last more than one year.
