Official:Authorizing the transfer in appropriations for Fiscal Year 2020 from the Grants Revenue Fund, the Director of Finance - Provision for Other Grants to the General Fund, with the intent to support (1) the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s LandCare Program, through which city-based landscape contractors and community organizations clean, green and stabilize vacant lots, creating jobs for local residents and returning citizens; and (2) the vacant lot stabilization activities of the City’s Community Life Improvement Program (CLIP); all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: March 28, 2019
: Committee on Appropriations
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2016–2019 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 funds from a grants revenue fund to support two programs: (1) Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's LandCare Program, which cleans and greens vacant lots, creating jobs for local residents; and (2) the Community Life Improvement Program (CLIP), which also focuses on vacant lot stabilization.
