Official:Authorizing the City Solicitor, on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, to include certain provisions, including the transfer of real estate, in a settlement agreement with the Cradle of Liberty Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America ("Boy Scouts") to resolve litigation relating to 231-251 N. 22nd Street, Philadelphia, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Clarke
Introduced: December 16, 2010
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
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 allows the City Solicitor to negotiate a settlement agreement with the Boy Scouts of America regarding a city-owned property at 231-251 N. 22nd Street in Philadelphia. The agreement could include transferring ownership of the property and requiring the Boy Scouts to provide space for community activities.
