Committee of the Whole 06-03-26 (Part 1)

The Philadelphia City Council Committee of the Whole held a public hearing and meeting on June 3, 2026, to discuss several bills and resolutions primarily related to fiscal and tax matters. Key topics included the adoption of a six-year capital program for fiscal years 2027 through 2032, amendments to the hotel room rental tax to impose an additional excise tax, revisions to zoning board of adjustment fees, modifications to air management license and permit fees, and the introduction of new taxes such as a ride share use tax and a retail delivery tax. Bill number 260202 concerning the capital program was placed on hold and not considered during this session. The meeting involved roll call of council members and invited public testimony, though no specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed in the transcript. The discussions focused on fiscal policy and tax-related ordinances that could impact future city revenue and procurement funding.
