Official:Amending Title 21 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Miscellaneous," for the purpose of improving the quality of life for students, teachers and all City residents by authorizing capital expenditures for improvements to property owned by the City and City-related agencies including the School District of Philadelphia, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: September 10, 2015
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2012–2015 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 invest in improvements to properties owned by City-related agencies and schools, with a useful life of at least five years.
