This week's Council Report Card is coming to you late because Council didn't post last week's bills on Legistar until yesterday--five days later than usual. 

City Council could vote this Thursday on two improvement district bills that couldn't be more different: a Neighborhood Improvement District for the W and Element Hotels now under construction at 15th and Chestnut, and a traditional Business Improvement District for the Italian Market. Both bills offer some lessons for how we can improve Philly's economic climate.

In which Curtis Jones proposes a charter change creating a modest Criminal Justice Reinvestment Fund; Cindy Bass and Bobby Henon propose removing Wells Fargo from the list of city depositories; and Darrell Clarke (via Bobby Henon) called for a hearing on city tax incentives. 

During the City Council meeting on September 29th, and following news that former-PPA boss Vince Fenerty had sexually harassed at least two of his subordinates, Councilman Oh introduced a resolution calling for a full performance audit of the PPA.

It's now been three business days since Council President Darrell Clarke held a rare show of hands vote on Councilman David Oh's resolution calling for a performance audit of the Philadelphia Parking Authority, and there's still no record of that vote happening.

Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene Pasquale will conduct an audit of the Philadelphia Parking Authority's employment practices, report Julia Terruso and Claudia Vargas, following a sexual harassment scandal that led to the resignation of Executive Director Vince Fenerty.

In which David Oh proposes selling the Philadelphia Parking Authority for scrap (with a big question mark for what state action would be required); Bill Greenlee proposes making it harder for employers to base your future earnings on your past earnings; and Jannie Blackwell upzones some land right behind 30th Street Station for the Schuylkill Yards district.

A day after a majority on City Council voted down a resolution to audit the Philadelphia Parking Authority, Mayor Jim Kenney and Governor Tom Wolf each released public statements calling for an audit, the Inquirer reports.
