Official:Amending Chapter 21-1100 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Community Development," by amending Section 21-1105, entitled "City Council Oversight and Plan Approval," all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Jones
Introduced: March 11, 2010
: Committee on Housing, Neighborhood Development and The Homeless
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 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 amends a city code section that requires City Council approval for certain changes to community development programs, ensuring public input and transparency.
