Official:Authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property to transfer to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development certain City-owned land, along with any improvements thereon, located within an area bounded by Jefferson Street, Fourth Street, Harlan Street, and Lawrence Street, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Sanchez
Introduced: April 28, 2011
: 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 to transfer ownership of a small plot of land to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development, who will then give it back to its original owner.
