City Council

BETHLEHEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING 10 East Church Street - Town Hall Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Tuesday, December 16, 2025 – 7:00 PM PLEDGE TO THE FLAG 1. ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order by President Colόn. Present were Bryan G. Callahan, Grace Crampsie Smith, Hillary G. Kwiatek, Colleen Laird, Rachel Leon, Kiera Wilhelm, and Michael G. Colón 7. President Colón noted that agenda Item 6 D was pulled from tonight’s agenda at the request of the applicant. This was a request for an intermunicipal liquor license transfer involving 217 Broadway. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES December 2, 2025 3. PUBLIC COMMENT A. PUBLIC COMMENT (on any subject not being voted on this evening – 5 Minute Time Limit) Lead Pipes/Remote Participation Resident Angela Mitchell received a notice in the mail seeking to identify those who have lead water pipes. She was particularly concerned about how lead pipes would affect those on dialysis or with cancer or other illnesses. She wanted to know how to identify lead pipes. Ms. Mitchell also said she often cannot come to meetings and wondered whether residents could participate and ask questions through the Youtube video. Thanks for Service Resident Evelyn Leon thanked each member of Council for serving. She encouraged all to keep working toward doing what is good for all. Passion for Bethlehem Resident Michael Liberto spoke of his passion for Bethlehem and an interest in seeking the seat of Mayor. Bethlehem City Council Meeting 2 December 16, 2025 List Provided Resident Mark Will-Weber provided Council with a list of communities that use apps that allow customers to track their water usage including early notification of leaks. Some began usage in 2015, so the technology has been available for 10 years. These are offered to customers for free. Mr. Will-Weber offered this to support his position that Bethlehem should be offering this service. Overcoming Challenges Resident Arthur Curatola discussed overcoming challenges that allowed him to focus on doing things better. Staffing Should Not Wait Fire union President Lou Jimenez disagreed with a statement made during recent budget hearings that firefighter staffing should be discussed during collective bargaining. City Council made staffing decisions outside of collective bargain several years again when firefighter positions were eliminated during budget discussions and not during negotiations. He believes that staff restoration should come about in the same form. Staffing is not just a labor issue but also a matter of public safety. He added that the City relies on National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for equipment and training; however, it does not follow NFPA staffing recommendations. In particular, the northwest fire station does not have a permanently assigned officer. He urged that overtime be used to fill this supervisory position. Help with Parking Issue Resident Terry Meixell raised a neighborhood parking concern in the area of East Union Boulevard and School Street. He believes signs are unclear. There have not been issues for decades but, recently, a neighbor began receiving parking tickets from the Parking Authority following an incident in which a neighbor’s vehicle was struck. Address Housing Needs Dominic Trabosci of Easton noted the clearing of the encampments yesterday. He thanked the City for efforts to try to find services for the homeless leading up to yesterday’s deadline. Still, he said this was a forced relocation. The true answer is to address the housing needs. Work to Solve Homelessness Cheyenne Cahoon of Easton urged the community not to turn from the homeless but to work together to help solve the problem. Eyewitness Account Resident Lee (no last name given) was present at 7:45 a.m. for the camp clearing. She did not see resources being offered to those being relocated. Instead of assistance from the City or Norfolk Southern, she and another volunteer assisted with a pickup truck. These people were exhausted. They had been packing for days. Bethlehem City Council Meeting 3 December 16, 2025 Political Motivation Resident Stephen Antalics said the recent vote by Council to not increase the budget to hire four more firefighters indicates where their priorities lie. The roster was reduced by four in 2021 to save money, a clear indication that placed a priority of politics over public safety. This Council had the opportunity to correct that decision but did not do so. He saw this as another example of a majority of Council “rubber stamping” the Mayor’s initiative. Second Eyewitness Resident Valerie Noonan also was present when the encampments were cleared. She agreed that resources were not provided to assist with the transportation of belongings. A third party joined the effort. They helped to move six people by taking seven trips over the course of four hours. She acknowledged that “there were always going to be holdouts.” She knew that not all would accept going to a shelter. Understaffing Needs Attention Resident Jo Daniels spoke on behalf of the Fire Department. Understaffing is a matter of disrespect to the firefighters. This has brought about resentment and poor morale. She does not understand how there have been more than 20 new hires in DCED in recent years yet the number of firefighters has decreased. First responders must be taken care of. Thank You Firefighter Kyle Dolton thanked Council for making tough decisions. Service Interruptions Resident Sebastian Zawierucha said clearing the encampment causes additional problems in that the unhoused are now pushed further from services. He worried that some who have come to trust assistance may lose those contacts. He also noted that, while most of the property involved belonged to Norfolk Southern, some is owned by the City and some the county. B. PUBLIC COMMENT (on ordinances and resolutions to be voted on by Council this evening – 5 Minute Time Limit). None. 4. OLD BUSINESS A. Members of Council B. Tabled Items C. Unfinished Business 5. NEW BUSINESS Bethlehem City Council Meeting 4 December 16, 2025 President Colón announced that the first Council meeting of 2026 will be held on Monday, January 5 at 7:00 PM. The Third Class City Code requires that the Organization of Council be held on the first Monday of the January following the regular municipal election. This will result in Council meeting at 7 PM on January 5 and not Tuesday, January 6. President Colón added that Council received a memo from Director of Community and Economic Development Laura Collins outlining events of yesterday’s clearing of the encampments. He asked Mayor Reynolds to elaborate. The Mayor said that many at City Hall have been working on the homeless situation for years. Most recently, it has been three months since Norfolk Southern set the December 15 deadline for the homeless to leave the property. Health Director Kristen Wenrich said Community Connections has been working with the homeless to try to connect them with services. Weekly outreach was done along with assistance by the Police Department in an attempt to connect them with housing and other service options. Over the past few months, City health officials counted 92 people living in the encampments. Eighty-five percent were successfully connected with at least one service. But not everyone accepted offered services. The Minsi Trail Bridge area has not yet been cleared. That may occur on Thursday or Friday. An estimated five to eight individuals remain there. Ms. Collins discussed the longer-term efforts toward trying to assist the homeless, especially including sheltering. $2 million of a total $6 million has been raised to build a new shelter. Ms. Leon noted that statistics included county corrections for 11 outstanding criminal warrants. She asked the level of these offenses. Mayor Reynolds said the level of offenses was significant and not related to trespass or homelessness. Ms. Leon said there are some very different stories being told by community eyewitnesses and what has been reported in the memo. She noted police body cams that presumably recorded events. Police Chief Michelle Kott believed there would be thousands of hours of body cam video over the course of the past four months. There was no mention of cause for concern with footage if it were to be reviewed. Ms. Leon recognized that those who were willing to be moved or accept help did not stay onsite to the end. Those who remained in some way rejected it. She asked how the finality of the situation was accepted. Ms. Collins said she was not aware of any confrontations. She added that resources and funding available were made available to anyone who needed help moving to more stable housing. There was nothing offered if people were just moving to another outside encampment area. She did not believe it would be appropriate to hold people’s possessions or move those items for them. But she offered gratitude to private individuals or groups who assisted. Bethlehem City Council Meeting 5 December 16, 2025 Ms. Laird Ms. Laird asked Director of Water and Sewer Resources Edward Boscola about the potential for lead in pipes. She noted that this inquiry is going on statewide and was discussed about a year ago. She recalled that the City provides anti-corrosive additives to its water. She asked what residents can do if they have health concerns. Mr. Boscola said specific lead testing is offered for any customer making a request. That was included in the letter sent to customers. He also reassured that lead levels in the City are nearly at zero. Ms. Laird also asked about Ms. Mitchell’s question as to whether public participation for meetings could be done remotely by, for example, emailing questions during Council meetings. Council Solicitor Stephanie Steward said there is no procedure to allow for remote questions. Ms. Laird also asked the Clerk whether emails received in advance are forwarded to all Council members. She was told that was correct. Ms. Laird observed that a Council member, when appropriate, could address it during New Business. Ms. Laird also asked Business Administrator Eric Evans whether the goals noted in the PDF version of the Water Department could be amended to reflect intentions to provide customers with apps for water reading and billing. Mr. Evans said that is planned after the final budget vote. Ms. Cramspsie Smith Ms. Cramspsie Smith said it appears that some communities are offering apps as soon as customers have smart meters installed. She asked whether Bethlehem could do this. Mr. Boscola said capabilities vary. Some are compatible, some are not. The City is vetting manufacturers. The City is hoping to offer services that would monitor consumption but he is hopeful that the app will offer suitable billing capabilities. Mr. Boscola added that the City does monitor usage and notifies customers if a reading is abnormal. He said more people are asking for technology that offers paperless billing and automatic deductions to pay their bills. He is hoping to coordinate these efforts. This takes research. He asked for patience in allowing time to make the right choice. Mr. Boscola said he does not have a timeline but said it could be in 2026 or 2027. Ms. Crampsie Smith also asked whether there is a way to offer overtime to fire officers in order to staff one for all shifts at the northwest station. Mayor Reynolds noted that he has authorized Chief Matthew Griffin to schedule overtime to pay an officer to staff the position in cases in which it is needed. This was done during Musikfest. Bethlehem City Council Meeting 6 December 16, 2025 Ms. Crampsie Smith said her concern was that NFPA recommends staffing levels including an officer at each station. She recognized that Council does not at this time seem willing to support four new firefighters but wondered if adding an officer could be addressed. Mayor Reynolds said the situation of often not having an officer at the northwest station has existed for about 20 years. This is not a new situation. He concedes that there are more new firefighters on the roster that likely would need more supervision. Ms. Crampsie Smith said that even if Council does not see fit to restore a full-time officer to the northwest station for this budget, she hoped that it would in the near future. 6. COMMUNICATIONS A. City Solicitor – Use Permit Agreement – ArtsQuest – 2025 Peepsfest The Clerk read a December 5, 2025 memorandum from Solicitor John F. Spirk, Jr. with an attached Use Permit Agreement and a Resolution. The Permittee is ArtsQuest and the event is the 2025 Peepsfest with fireworks. Events will be held from 3-6 PM on December 30, and 3-6 PM on December 31. Fireworks will be at 5:30 on both December 30 and 31. The premises will include 1st Street from Polk Street to the eastern terminus, Founder’s Way between 1st and 2nd Streets, and Sand Island East (for the fireworks only.) President Colόn stated that Resolution 10 A is on the agenda. B. City Solicitor – Use Permit Agreement – Touchstone Theatre – 2026 Use of Parham Park The Clerk read a December 5, 2025 memorandum from Solicitor John F. Spirk, Jr. with an attached Use Permit Agreement and a Resolution. The Permittee is Touchstone Theatre and the request is for the use of Parham Park throughout 2026 for activities including theater and creative arts events, productions, performances, rehearsals, lectures, workshops, and related activities. President Colόn stated that Resolution 10 B is on the agenda. C. Director of Water and Sewer Resources – 2026 02 Operation of the East Allen Township Well Systems – K.L. Fulford Associates, Inc. The Clerk read a December 8, 2025 memorandum and proposed Resolution from Edward Boscola, Director of Water and Sewer Resources, concerning a proposed contract. The agreement is with K.L. Fulford Associates, Inc. of Emmaus to operate and manage the East Allen Township drinking water well systems. The cost is $32,900. Two additional yearly renewal options are offered at the same annual price. President Colόn stated that Resolution 10 C is on the agenda. 7. REPORTS A. President of Council Bethlehem City Council Meeting 7 December 16, 2025 President Colón thanked all for their efforts in 2025. He wished all a safe and happy holiday season. B. Mayor Mayor Reynolds asked Deputy Director of Community Development Sara Satullo to update the Western Gateway project on Wyandotte Street. Ms. Satullo said the City has been working with Community Action Development Bethlehem the Cathedral Church of the Nativity and Lehigh University to redevelop two properties next to the church for affordable housing. New Bethany would manage the properties. A $300,000 grant has been received through the state. Yesterday, it was announced that a $180,000 tax credit also has been awarded. An architect will now be hired to do the final design and engineering. Mayor Reynolds also reported on holiday parking during the biggest demand weekends downtown. The Walnut Street Garage reopened in time for the holiday season. Despite the heavy demand for parking, there has been no time when there have not been at least 300 open parking spaces between the North Street and Walnut Street garages. This includes a period in which North Street was full and Walnut Street had the open spaces. This is important because some behavior has changed and the demand for parking is spreading out a bit and better use is being made of all parking options. 8. ORDINANCES FOR FINAL PASSAGE 8A. Bill No. 47-2025 – Bill No. 47-2025 – Adopt 2026 General Fund Budget The Clerk read Bill No. 47-2025 Adopt 2026 General Fund Budget, sponsored by Ms. Kwiatek and Ms. Crampsie Smith and titled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM, COUNTIES OF LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON, COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, ADOPTING THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR 2026 Mr. Callahan said he was disappointed that the Administration and Council could not find $331,000 to fund four more firefighters for half a year. He was additionally disappointed that, once several proposed amendments to shift funding failed, a modest tax increase that he proposed also failed. According to Mr. Evans, this would have cost the average household just $11.42 more next year. He will oppose all budget-related ordinances being voted on this evening. Ms. Crampsie Smith also will oppose these 11 ordinances for insufficient funding of the Fire Department. She said that $331,000 is not that large an amount in a budget of over $100 million. President Colón encouraged the Administration to continue the study process of reviewing fire operations. He will look forward to hearing results and recommendations. Bethlehem City Council Meeting 8 December 16, 2025 Ms. Laird said she will support a tax increase at an appropriate time as study findings become available.

The stated goals will now show the intention to improve the water technology, specifically an app. Ms. Kwiatek said it was disheartening to hear from Mr. Boscola that he does not have a timeline to provide this technology. This is not acceptable. Mayor Reynolds suggested that the Public Works Committee could meet in the first quarter of 2026 for an update as to where this stands and what needs to be done to work toward this goal.
