Election to city councilIn December 1998, Street resigned as a member of the City Council to run for mayor. Clarke ran for, and was elected to, Street's Fifth District seat in the 1999 special election held on the day of the state's primary.[2] City council tenureClarke is a former Majority Whip and is the Chair of the Fiscal Stability and Public Property Committees and Vice Chairman of the Appropriations Committee.[1] He was elected to the position of Council President after the office was vacated by the retiring Anna Verna. One of Clarke's legislative actions was his introduction of the bill to end the City-subsidized lease on the 80-year-old headquarters building of the Cradle of Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America over their ban on gay scouts.[3] After a protracted legal battle, the bill was overturned in Federal court and the City of Philadelphia was ordered to pay nearly a million dollars in legal fees to the Boy Scouts.[4] See also{{Portal|Philadelphia}}{{Wikinews|Philadelphia breaks 80 year old building lease; moves to evict Scouts}}
