Council adopts block of land‑disposition and renaming resolutions
Summary
Council approved a series of resolutions authorizing property transfers to the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority and Land Bank, adopted a third amendment to a redevelopment agreement for the American Street Industrial Corridor, and approved a renaming of Pinnati Playground to Allegheny West Recreation Center.
City Council moved a block of second‑reading and final‑passage items and adopted multiple resolutions authorizing property dispositions and redevelopment actions. Titles read into the record included authorizations to convey fee simple title to properties (examples: deeds for 2045 South 56th Street and multiple addresses on Ogden, North 15th and North 16th Streets) to the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority, and authorizing the Redevelopment Authority to transfer property to the Philadelphia Land Bank pursuant to section 16‑405 of the Philadelphia Code.
Council also adopted a resolution approving the third amendment to a redevelopment agreement for the American Street Industrial Corridor and voted to rename the property commonly called Pinnati Playground at 3100 North 22nd Street as the Allegheny West Recreation Center.
Motions to adopt these individual resolutions were made by various members (Jamie Gauthier, Curtis Jones, Jeffrey Young, Jim Harrity and Cindy Bass, among others), were seconded, and carried by voice vote. The clerk read each title before the motions; each adopted resolution was announced as "adopted" on the record. These actions authorize the named property transfers and direct the relevant city agencies to take necessary steps to effectuate the conveyances and amendments indicated in the titles read at the session.
The resolutions were adopted by voice vote under the council's rules; the clerk recorded that the motions carried and the resolutions were adopted. Specific next steps for individual dispositions generally include execution of deeds and administrative steps by the Commissioner of Public Property and the Redevelopment Authority consistent with the Philadelphia Code.
Items adopted on second reading and final passage in this block will be reflected in the official journal, which includes the full titles and legal descriptions for the affected parcels.
