CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED FROM 4 CITY BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ON MARCH 31, 2025, 5 REGARDING UPDATED PAYROLL PREPARATION TAX 6 COLLECTIONS AS OF MARCH 25, 2025. 7 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments 8 on any of the Third Order items? 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Taking a look at 3-A, 10 all of the city departments are at about 25 11 percent for the first quarter of the year, plus 12 or minus except Parks and Recreation just to 13 point that out. 14 And then 3-C, when it comes to the 15 payroll preparation tax, it looks like it's 16 outperformed every quarter since its 17 implementation. 18 MR. SMURL: Anyone else? If not, 19 received and filed. Do any Council members 20 have any announcements at this time? 21 MR. KING: I have an announcement. 22 The city was notified I think today or 23 yesterday that the city has won the Secretary's 24 Award for Municipal Excellent. And the Mayor 25 and some cabinet members and I know several of  5 1 us have been invited to go down to Harrisburg 2 to receive that award on Wednesday, April 16th. 3 So I think that's a great honor for 4 the City of Scranton. So congratulations to 5 everyone working in administration and all of 6 us sitting up here. So that's it. Thanks. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: I have a couple of 9 announcements to announce. There is an art 10 show that's going to be coming up from Connor 11 McGuigan and it's called the Two Connors. And 12 its opening is going to be Friday, April 4th at 13 Tusk, which they had moved from the building. 14 So their new place now is at 308 Penn Avenue. 15 And his art work will also be on 16 display for a month so everyone can enjoy it. 17 And there's one other thing that I wanted to 18 make an announcement for. Yesterday was the 19 International Transgender Day of Visibility. 20 And that's a day that's been 21 celebrated since 2009. And it's an annual 22 event dedicated to celebrating trans people 23 raising awareness of discrimination faced by 24 trans people and acknowledging their 25 contributions to society. So I just wanted to  6 1 recognize that day. And that's all that I 2 have. Thank you. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 4 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, in addition to 5 tonight's moment of silence, I'd like to offer 6 my personal condolences, thoughts and prayers 7 to the Selemba family and the West Scranton 8 Invader community. Tommy's impact on the youth 9 of this community is immeasurable and it's a 10 very sad loss in West Side. That is all I 11 have. Thank you. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 14 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 15 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 17 Scranton. I just want to start off with a 18 public service announcement. I received a 19 phone call late this afternoon that the County 20 Commissioner's meeting that was scheduled for 21 tomorrow at 10 is being cancelled because of 22 the lack of a quorum. 23 So anybody planning to go to that 24 meeting, call the County Commissioner's office 25 or the Government Center first just to make  7 1 sure because you don't want to be driving 2 downtown looking for parking just to find out 3 that the meeting's been moved back to April 4 9th, I believe. 5 Okay, I notice that our stained 6 glass windows are gone. Are they gone for 7 rehabilitation, restoration? 8 MR. SMURL: Yeah, probably over a 9 month ago. 10 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. 11 MR. SMURL: And in the Governor's 12 room also. 13 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, inch by inch, 14 day by day we're getting there. I too noticed 15 the overtime report. Parks and Rec had used 16 half of its overtime budget. Do we know what 17 is driving the increased overtime in Parks and 18 Rec? 19 MR. SMURL: Yes, the code blue that 20 we have for the shelter. And we've had a 21 colder than normal winter so the shelter has 22 been open. 23 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, that's fine. 24 As long as we know what's driving it and it's 25 not something that could be corrected, I don't  8 1 have an issue. 2 MR. SMURL: No, we increased the 3 budget from last year. 4 MS. HODOWANITZ: And what you might 5 want to do, you know, when the next budget 6 rolls around maybe that needs to be -- that 7 overtime budget needs to be upped to take 8 account of that kind of situation. 9 MR. SMURL: It was increased this 10 year, Joan, but -- 11 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah, well, it was 12 a strange year. The winter from hell 13 so-to-speak. DPW, the negotiations still going 14 on for the Collective Bargaining Agreement? 15 MR. SMURL: Yes. 16 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay, because it's 17 now been over three months that they're dealing 18 without a contract. Sooner or later, that 19 thing is either going be resolved or go to 20 arbitration, so we'll see. And so I assume 21 that the 2024 audio is still ongoing? 22 MR. SMURL: It's underway, yes. 23 MS. HODOWANITZ: The progress, okay. 24 Now, I have some happy news. It has nothing to 25 do really with city business. But it's a great  9 1 opportunity for all the residents of Scranton. 2 The Lackawanna County Library 3 System, we have this thing called the American 4 Masters Lecture Series. Last time I think was 5 the fall of 2023 we brought in Goodwin, 6 presidential historian. And she was a smash 7 hit. 8 So on April 30th, 7 p.m. at the 9 Cultural Center and this is free, okay, we're 10 bringing in Rick Steves. I don't know if any 11 of you ever watch PBS and you see his travel 12 show that he does going to Europe, going to 13 Asia and everything else. He's been doing 14 this, like, for 40 years. 15 He is an A-list speaker. He's got 16 the gift of gab down pat. And I'm sure he's 17 going to have a lot of very interesting tales 18 about touring Europe and touring the orient. 19 He's experienced. 20 And even if you never intend to go 21 overseas or travel or even leave the boundaries 22 of Scranton like I'm now a permanent resident 23 here, this show is fascinating. And not the 24 least of which is everywhere he goes he always 25 shows you what the people eat and goes into the  10 1 local restaurants and everything else. 2 It's just a great show. So this is 3 free. You could get your -- pick up your 4 tickets at any of the Lackawanna County 5 libraries. They're free. Or you could go on 6 Ticket Master and pick them up that way. But 7 it gives a chance to do something other than 8 worry about reassessment or stormwater or all 9 the other crappy things that go on in our 10 lives. 11 It will be a fun evening. And it 12 will be good thing to do on a Wednesday 13 evening, April 30th at 7 p.m. So if anybody is 14 interested in tickets and would like to pick 15 some up, I do have a few in my purse. Thank 16 you. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. Les 18 Spindler. 19 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 20 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 21 homeowner. Here we go again, I'm wondering if 22 the corner that I was promised that was going 23 to get fixed, like, three and a half years ago 24 is going to get fixed this year because the 25 weather is getting nicer now.  11 1 So I'm not holding my breath. But I 2 hope we get something done this year. Next 3 thing, several months ago I brought up a house 4 at 1702 Elizabeth that neighbors told me they 5 think it's an Airbnb. 6 And these neighbors told me because 7 I talked to them the other day. They said it's 8 definitely an Airbnb. And they don't think 9 it's registered. So I think that should be 10 looked into. 11 Next thing, the garbage I spoke 12 about last week that was left from a homeless 13 camp on the ramp coming off the expressway, 14 well, most of it was picked up. But there's 15 still some garbage left there. They didn't 16 finish it. So hopefully they could get the 17 rest of it. 18 Next thing, the reassessment, 19 whoever these jokers were that did, it was 20 ridiculous. I have a 116-year-old house, 21 bought it 36 years old for $56,000. It needs 22 work. It was reassessed at $194,000. That's 23 ridiculous. I wouldn't get half of that if I 24 tried to sell it today. 25 I don't know who these people are  12 1 that did the reassessment. If they came in my 2 house and looked at the work it needs, I 3 know -- there's no way I would get that much. 4 So I think this reassessment was a joke. 5 Lastly, for years I heard people 6 come in here and people all over the country 7 complaining about the job that President Joe 8 Biden did, oh, the economy is terrible. Oh, my 9 God, we couldn't afford this and that. Well, 10 just wait and see what's going to happen now 11 with the joker that's in the White House. 12 With his tariffs, we're going to be 13 paying more for everything. Right now a new 14 car is costing more than $6,000 more than it 15 would last year. 16 This morning on the news there was 17 an economist for Moody's that said we're 18 probably looking at a recession in a few 19 months. The guy's in here -- not even in there 20 three months and they're talking about 21 recession already. I said, you know, that's 22 ridiculous. 23 I mean, like I said, people 24 complained about Joe Biden. What's going on 25 now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Wait to you  13 1 see what's going to happen in the next few 2 months. By the time he's out of office, people 3 will be wishing that Joe Biden was the 4 President again. Thank you for your time. 5 That's all I have. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Spindler. 7 Lee Morgan. 8 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council, 9 Lee Morgan. The first thing I have here today 10 is, you know, I appreciate people's opinions in 11 regards to the reassessment. But I don't think 12 the local government really cares what people 13 think. 14 And I just think in this mayoral 15 election and the Council election, we need to 16 stop talking about blight and the roads. Okay, 17 we need to start really talking about the 18 issues that really should mean something to the 19 residents, okay, the inability to earn a living 20 here, low wage base, no economic development, 21 just an elected political class that really has 22 no really -- no real understanding of the 23 people they represent or the things that need 24 to be done to make this city begin to grow 25 again.  14 1 We really need some independent 2 candidates. We don't really need Democrats and 3 Republicans because we seem to have a terrible 4 gridlock. I just listened to Les stand here 5 and speak about Joe Biden. Well, he let 2 6 million cross the border and gave them Social 7 Security numbers and let them collect Social 8 Security. 9 He did a host of other things and 10 you can't really blame Joe Biden because he 11 never really knew he was President. That's why 12 he kept saying he was a Senator because he had 13 such mental issues that people propped him up 14 to use him with his auto pen to sign all kinds 15 of legislation that did hellacious damage to 16 this country. 17 And then, of course. We had a 18 Council that went and named things after him 19 and now doesn't have enough nerve to take the 20 name down. And, you know, when we look at our 21 city, we've spent so much time talking about 22 utterly silly things, you know, and developing 23 parks, dog parks. 24 You know, people need jobs. We 25 aren't talking about the real issues. We  15 1 aren't talking about Moses Taylor Hospital. We 2 aren't talking about Regional Hospital. We're 3 talking about it in a light where some people 4 want the State of Pennsylvania to come forward 5 and give the money to buy these hospitals. But 6 we're not really talking about the issues. 7 You know, we've failed to talk about 8 issues here in this community almost my entire 9 life. Okay, we haven't talked about when 10 George Yuhas lived on Mulberry Street and he 11 fought the closure of the Scranton State 12 General Hospital and the surgeon who offered to 13 give them land outside the city to build a 14 veterans' center to save that hospital and how 15 Governor Casey decided to devest the 16 Commonwealth of all the hospitals that the 17 Commonwealth owned. 18 We've just been misled over almost 19 my entire lifetime. Even when you take a look 20 at public education and you see where that is, 21 a third grader in Singapore has the same 22 education as an 8th grader in America. What 23 does that tell you for our country, honestly. 24 We talk about tariffs as if, like, 25 they're a terrible thing what the President is  16 1 doing when all of our manufacturing base has 2 been stripped out of our country including the 3 pharmaceutical industry. And the tariffs are 4 the only way to bring some of this stuff back. 5 But then we had Joe Biden handing 6 money out to people for absolutely no reason 7 because the people he was giving it to didn't 8 need it. You know, the pain -- the road ahead 9 is going to be very painful because we've had a 10 lack of leadership in the Congress and Senate 11 for most of my lifetime. 12 Just like I've come here for almost 13 40 years and I could tell you that the ability 14 of the people that have been elected Council 15 members over the course of my time here, some 16 of them have been relatively good. But the 17 bulk of them seem to believe that either 18 they're for the Mayor or they're against the 19 Mayor and that's not their job. 20 And nobody is representing the 21 residents because if you look around our city, 22 we talk about the homeless camps, well, people 23 should realize that when you know the trade 24 treaties America's negotiated over my lifetime, 25 we've lost our whole manufacturing sector.  17 1 So instead of these people going to 2 Scranton Lace or Johnny Fabric or the Manhattan 3 Shirt Factory on Capouse Avenue, they don't go 4 anywhere. They go under the bridge because 5 we're more interested in whether people in 6 Vietnam and China and the far east have a job 7 or Mexico. 8 And now the Chinese are 9 manufacturing in Mexico so they could sign all 10 the treaties and avoid all the sanctions. 11 We've got -- we've raised in this country a 12 very severe problem, illiteracy. Thank you. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 14 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. 15 Starting off for another week with Rubicon. 16 We've talked -- I've talked on the fact that 17 without maps and obviously since they said if 18 we did not have Rubicon in, we'd have no way of 19 tracking where trash trucks were supposed to 20 go. 21 Do we not have a policy for 22 continuation of business of restoration in case 23 of an emergency of hard copies in case 24 something should happen, because that 25 standalone system is down at DPW. What if that  18 1 standalone system gets Ransomware. 2 What if it gets locked up. Now I 3 understand that according to this body here if 4 they didn't have that mapping for the last -- 5 that they've had for the last three years, the 6 40 years beforehand are irrelevant and DPW 7 would have no idea how to operate because they 8 don't remember day-to-day where they drive. 9 They are too substandard to remember 10 what a route is. And obviously management and 11 the directors cannot cross train. Obviously 12 DPW if they cannot live without Rubicon, this 13 body thinks DPW is incompetent and has no 14 skills unless they are led around by the nose, 15 which is sad to say for them because they've 16 done a fantastic job. 17 And they've done a fantastic job for 18 long before Rubicon was in this city. All 19 software in the city really should be backed up 20 on a ZFS system. It does snapshots. It 21 protects from Ransomware and you could take the 22 entire data structure and protect it. 23 But then again, it's not in a 24 Microsoft world and it's actually a more secure 25 way of backing up. So we don't want to look at  19 1 that because it's an intelligent and safe way 2 to protect the systems of the city like the 3 fifth week of the desktop downstairs in the 4 lobby being completely unsecured and open for 5 viruses. 6 I see the walkability study still 7 has legs, pun intended. It's costing the same 8 as the water projects. It's costing 20 million 9 dollars at this point. So the water projects 10 over on East Mountain and West Mountain, they 11 cost about the same as the walkability study. 12 And when we were up at the old 13 Central building we had a meeting on it. We 14 were told that the blind people could just walk 15 out in front of traffic because traffic will 16 stop for them at stop signs rather than 17 streetlights that makes signals because they 18 had no idea of the clue. 19 And we are increasing directions 20 from one way into one-way streets to traffic in 21 all directions which will make it even more 22 hazardous for people to cross because now they 23 have right and left at every intersection and 24 cutting right and left from them. 25 Once you remove those traffic  20 1 signs -- once you remove those traffic lights, 2 they can't go back up because we have to have a 3 certain amount of volume of traffic to be able 4 to put up lights in Center City. 5 It was talked about there at the 6 meeting at Central that once they are put down 7 they'll never go back up because we don't have 8 the traffic to put them in per state 9 regulations. So it's a one-way street. You 10 got to stop sign and that's it. 11 But 20 million dollars is fantastic 12 to put into Center City when 20 million dollars 13 is all you're putting into flooding for 14 neighborhoods over 20 or 30 years. Last week 15 we had a complaint about people speaking 16 politics from the podium. Guess what, when 17 they are not elected they are citizens and 18 could talk about whatever they want to. 19 This podium here is for public 20 speaking. And if they think they have things 21 they need to bring forward they should. At the 22 same time, Dr. Rothchild and Mr. King both 23 castigated people for coming up here and doing 24 that. 25 Mr. King then afterwards went into a  21 1 conversation on the Mayor's lovely plan for the 2 city that none of the public was actually 3 invited to because it was the save the city was 4 behind locked doors. 5 It's amazing that you could sit here 6 and do a political speech for the Mayor on 7 everything that she has done from that and tell 8 the public they can't speak on issues relating 9 to them. Have a good night. 10 MR. ARGENTA: Virgil Argenta, 11 Scranton. My condolences to the family Tommy 12 Selemba. Week after week during public comment 13 questions are asked by citizens. The Fifth 14 Order usually address these questions, although 15 it rarely does. 16 Last week's Fifth Order was unusual 17 and a bit bizarre to say the least. It sounded 18 like a political statement perhaps for 19 incumbents who all need to be replaced. After 20 a few disparaging remarks, the Councilman 21 discussed what they describe as 22 accomplishments. 23 We pay taxes for amenities like 24 pools, pickleball and tennis courts, street 25 paving, new police officers, quality of life  22 1 tickets to be issued, blight property 2 demolished and good credit ratings, applying 3 for grants and neighborhood improvements. We 4 pay for all of that. 5 This administration played no role 6 in our 30 year distress status except perhaps 7 maybe signing some papers. You had nothing to 8 do with that. Your speech overlooked several 9 important issues in Scranton such as 10 homelessness, rampant crime, gang activity, the 11 police, fire, DPW, clerical union healthcare 12 are in disarray. 13 We have unsettled contracts and 14 threats to the DPW recycling department. 15 Remember the bins of files outside? The fire 16 departments' pension board has had a vacant 17 seat for three years, almost as long as you've 18 all been elected, three years. 19 Police testing now includes six 20 tests given taken by hundreds of applicants. 21 Forty officers needed in the department, 22 however, only five new officers were hired. 23 Would it surprise you that one of them was the 24 Chief's son? 25 You mention street paving but only  23 1 select streets including those of city 2 officials were paved. Mr. King, your street 3 was paved. The Mayor's street was paved, a few 4 alleys were paved. Good job, Mr. King. Keyser 5 Valley flood victims are still waiting for 6 answers. And those that took advantage of the 7 $5,000, guess what they got in the mail? 8 1099s. Proud of that? 9 No wonder why you're not running. 10 What about Rubicon, a disaster telling local 11 DPW workers where Scranton streets are costing 12 taxpayers million and millions of dollars plus 13 a multiyear contract. Good job. Let's not 14 forget about the Mulfehan, remember the gang 15 experts that came here? 16 Remember we paid a quarter of a 17 million of dollars for two years for them to 18 tell us United States Veterans are the 19 potential terrorists? Not one of you guys 20 stood up to them, shameful. No wonder why 21 you're not running. 22 Millions are wasted on studies that 23 could have saved millions being done inhouse. 24 The Nay Aug pool destruction of slides and 25 pools, the lap pool was another deception with  24 1 claims of no funds. That claim was false. You 2 were one of the biggest cheerleaders. 3 Millions were wasted on studies that 4 could have been saved. It could have been done 5 inhouse. You had Mr. Pocius in here speaking 6 bringing attention to grants that were expiring 7 for much needed bridge repairs, only to tell 8 him his time was up. Remember that, Mr. Smurl? 9 MR. SMURL: Yes. 10 MR. ARGENTA: Okay, splash pad 11 versus pools and multiple bid rounds on other 12 projects is another issue that we'll wait for, 13 the lockdown of City Hall, the petition for 14 removal of Biden Street signs. They only want 15 it returned to its rightful name, Spruce Street 16 with a petition with over 30,000 signatures. 17 Meanwhile, citizens -- senior 18 citizens, veterans, and residents face huge tax 19 hikes and a looming 50 year reassessment 20 barrelling down after that, rising utility 21 bills and millions of dollars in lawsuits, 22 Mr. King, in the school district and in City 23 Council. 24 And if you need some names of who 25 those lawsuits are, let me know. Absurd dollar  25 1 amounts of raises given out to City Hall 2 employees and Scranton City Council voted 3 themselves raises. Disgusting. This speaks 4 volumes about your priorities. 5 On another note, what point is the 6 lack of commentary on a possible ethics 7 violation involving a Council candidate, their 8 employer, and the City of Scranton using 9 federally state funding. Well, you're 10 endorsing that candidate, silence might be 11 preferred because that's your candidate of 12 choice, remember, to take your seat? 13 Well, I hope you educate him on how 14 not what to do. You're a lame duck, Mr. King. 15 You shouldn't be voting on anything at all to 16 deal with the city. You're done. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Argenta. 18 Anyone else? 19 MS. LABROSKY: Good evening, 20 Council, Lynn Labrosky, homeowner, business 21 owner. I did also want to also extend my 22 condolences to Mr. Selemba's family. And he 23 will be greatly missed in the community. 24 I did want to thank Council for 25 getting Parks and Rec to clean up South Third  26 1 Street. They didn't quite do the whole street, 2 but they did clean it up. So that was 3 appreciated. And then speaking of the West 4 Scranton Little League, I did speak to one of 5 the board members. And I just wanted to put it 6 out there that maybe the city could help pay 7 for an additional defibrillator. 8 So each field, the West Side behind 9 Burger King and then Sloan also, they're in 10 need of an additional one. They each have one. 11 But if there were an emergency with a child, 12 then they'd have to go probably a good half 13 mile to the other side of the field to get that 14 defibrillator. 15 So I know they're looking to see if 16 the school board could pay for one and then I 17 was thinking maybe I don't know if there is any 18 ARPA funds or anything like that that could 19 possibly fund a purchase of a second one. And 20 so that being said, they were doing a lot of 21 cleanups and improvements back there. 22 I do believe they have some homeless 23 issues right by that field. They did have some 24 issues though with DPW picking up some of the 25 stuff. I think they finally did. And then  27 1 there's another volunteer that's going to go 2 down there tomorrow because they have trees 3 that are, like, falling and it's -- it needs a 4 lot of work. 5 So I just wish that the city could 6 step up and help the little league field. We 7 don't want gang activity. We want our kids 8 engaged. We want them playing and doing things 9 that are, you know, going to keep them out of 10 trouble. So I don't see why the city can't 11 pitch in and help with keeping the fields, you 12 know, in good condition. 13 And then also, I wanted to myself 14 speak on politics at the podium. So I was a 15 little taken back last week by the whole entire 16 end of the meeting because I know a lot of 17 people do get up here and they speak about 18 politics or whatever their intentions are. 19 And maybe I don't like what some 20 people say or how they it, but that's up to you 21 guys as a Council to keep the decorum. So but 22 I believe residents in Scranton do have a right 23 to get up here at the podium and speak whatever 24 they feel and speak about city issues. 25 I think it should be kept to city  28 1 issues. And if somebody feels that city 2 leaders or administration are not doing their 3 job and they feel they could do a better job, 4 then they have every right to get up here and, 5 you know, say that. 6 So but again, at the same time I did 7 hear one of the Council members basically give 8 a stump speech for the Mayor -- the incumbent 9 mayor that's running again for reelection. And 10 that really, really bothered me. That felt to 11 me very hypocritical. 12 So, you know, if you tell someone 13 not to stand here and talk about politics, then 14 you shouldn't sit behind that desk, any of you, 15 and really -- I'm sorry, endorse any candidate. 16 I happened to be at the state of the city 17 speech because I happen to be a Chamber member 18 and I was invited through the Chamber. 19 So I was there. I don't know why it 20 wasn't televised. Has it been televised since 21 then? No? Because I saw ECTV was there that 22 day, but, no. So I don't know what we're 23 hiding but I know the auditorium wasn't full. 24 That's for sure. 25 So, yeah, I mean, that's how I feel.  29 1 I mean, I'm running for Mayor as a Republican 2 candidate this year. And if I want to get up 3 here and tell the public that, then I don't see 4 anything wrong with that. You know, it doesn't 5 mean you're campaigning from the podium. It 6 means you're speaking your intentions. 7 A small group of volunteers yet 8 again spent all day Saturday cleaning up the 9 heritage trail. They filled another 40 yard 10 dumpster. I don't know when we're going to 11 find a solution to the problems. The homeless 12 problem is growing. 13 I know they are staying at the train 14 station again. It's not just the Heritage 15 Trail. It's really -- it's taking over the 16 city. So I know there is an unsheltered task 17 force. If the public could -- if you guys 18 could push for the public to be invited to 19 those meetings, I think that would be helpful. 20 And the same with the gang 21 prevention, you know, force or whatever you 22 have. I don't see why everybody cannot have a 23 seat at the table when it comes to these issues 24 because there's a lot of smart people in 25 Scranton with really good ideas.  30 1 If everybody could come together and 2 work together, we could get some of these 3 things resolved. So that's all I have for 4 tonight. I appreciate your time. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 6 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council, 7 Mike Mancini, Scranton. Tonight I stand before 8 these five chairs with a suit on out of respect 9 trying to look almost as good as Mr. 10 Voldenberg. I think I did pretty well. 11 I didn't receive that same respect 12 last Tuesday evening, Dr. Rothchild. You 13 managed to put a four syllable word into my 14 mouth. You could have asked for clarification 15 before I walked away. 16 My mother never raised a fool. I 17 was raised by a single mother. Mr. King, you 18 knew her very well who worked two, sometimes 19 three jobs just to get by. Your reckless 20 aggression towards me insulted that upbringing 21 that gets me by on a daily basis. 22 I have been tested more in life than 23 most. Her strength without ever giving up has 24 resinated in my life. She's made me stronger 25 than I ever could have known. You insulted  31 1 her. You insulted me and insulted those who 2 have elected you. 3 You insulted that chair and the good 4 people of Scranton. You've insulted amazing 5 women who have sat in that chair before you 6 like Judy Gatelli, Janet Evans, Mary Kay Holmes 7 to name a few. 8 I'm respectfully requesting your 9 resignation. You want to hear -- all you 10 wanted to do is hear something you didn't. I 11 brought up many things like leachate lines and 12 all I got from you was crickets. Do not like 13 the direction which our city is going. 14 The good people of Scranton deserve 15 better. Mr. King, you mentioned after your 16 infomercial that our current mayor -- for our 17 current mayor that you're not happy with the 18 fact that I've spoken about a campaign to give 19 the city back to its people. 20 What you neglected to mention is 21 that the rules have changed, apparently over 22 the years, so have you. You remember George 23 Capwell, 41 years he drove a garbage truck in 24 the City of Scranton without Rubicon. 25 Yet, you rubber stamped everything  32 1 handed down by this expansion team. Why? Your 2 street was paved last year. There are hundreds 3 of other blocks that need resurfacing more so 4 than your road. That makes me wonder what 5 streets are going to be paved in an election 6 year. The garbage truck drivers know what 7 roads need to be paved. 8 Yours was not one of them, Mr. 9 Smurl. Lee Morgan brought in six months ago a 10 bottle of water from his tap that no one ever 11 would have given to their pet. But yet you 12 said nothing. You are no Bob McGoff. Good 13 luck with your future projects. 14 As a true Independent, I call a 15 spade a spade. I call a heart a heart. I 16 witnessed how Mr. McAndrew and Mr. Schuster 17 always seem frustrating asking the right 18 questions and just getting delayed half answers 19 or no answers at all. I mentioned crickets in 20 the past. 21 Let me make one thing perfectly 22 clear. The comments were not directed towards 23 the two of you. The comments were directed 24 towards the three rubber stamps. Thank you, 25 both of you for respecting those chairs and  33 1 caring about the good people of Scranton. 2 For the most part we have a great 3 slate of City Council candidates. I am 4 confident that we will fix the situation. I 5 don't like the direction which our city is 6 going. The good people of Scranton deserve 7 better. 8 Last week I mentioned leachate 9 lines, where are they? The city never received 10 host fees for them. Ask Gene Barrett where the 11 lines are. He was a former sewer director for 12 the Sewer Authority. He knows. Guess who's 13 funding his campaign? I could care less what 14 your name is. 15 I promise to always do the right 16 thing. We will find those lines. I know how 17 to collect money. I'll go back and backdate 18 and get those host fees. Quit voting for those 19 with different last names with the same 20 mediocre results like a rainbow in the dark. 21 It's time to give your city back to 22 the people. These police calls have been very 23 alarming. We need change. Morale's at an all 24 time low. I found our next police chief and 25 public safety director. We will remove  34 1 politics from our finest. 2 Once he speaks to those that he 3 selects to round out his department, we will 4 announce them as a group so he won't be 5 targeted like I was last week. It's important 6 to know exactly what you vote for. A winning 7 team is needed and so is a good voice for the 8 people of Scranton. 9 I will be honored to be that voice. 10 I will not let anybody down. God bless our 11 first responders. God bless Tommy Selemba. 12 Good evening, Council. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 14 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Council, Rik 15 Little, Scranton, property owner and taxpayer. 16 This is part of my property 5.98 and I did pay 17 tax on it from Staples. This -- a couple weeks 18 I usually speak off the top of my head saying 19 and I said about maybe a couple weeks ago that 20 everything's unconstitutional. 21 And, I mean, it sounds like a crazy 22 statement. Everybody is always shooting that 23 word around, you know, my rights, my 24 constitution. But it seems to me that the 25 problem with the Constitution is directly  35 1 involved with the Judicial Branch of 2 government. 3 Now, last week when I came here I 4 found this article in the paper, this one about 5 police, homeless man attacks hospital staff. 6 Who knew he was homeless? Who decided he was 7 homeless? Where is the record of that? I 8 mean, I'm a filmmaker. That's what I do. I 9 look into the facts, you know, maybe it's a 10 good story. 11 This is a story and the reporter 12 actually cited that according to police he's 13 homeless, Corey McNulty, 31. So I set out to 14 find out what happened to this guy because I 15 had this -- I'm homeless. And about 25 days in 16 of homelessness, I could not take it anymore 17 and I was too cold, needed to go to the 18 hospital. 19 And, you know, I didn't know what I 20 was doing. But I could have been in the same 21 place as this guy. They could have locked me 22 up. They have a law called a 302 and 1551. 23 That's a mandatory psych evaluation. 24 Now, according to the article, he 25 just goes into the hospital at 10 a.m., and  36 1 then he's arrested I think at 4:27 a.m. the 2 psych evaluation is supposed to take 45 3 minutes. I don't know if he was there 4 voluntary or involuntary. 5 But at some point according to the 6 article, one of the security guards at the 7 hospital restrained him, a bunch of people 8 restrained him. And it sounds like they tied 9 him up, you know, but this is your liberty. 10 Before they take your liberty, any 11 place, you have Constitutional rights. And 12 this is part of the Constitutional rights. I 13 tried to visit the guy in jail, what a 14 rigmarole going through that. 15 Everybody pushed back from the 16 sheriffs, from the jail, from the criminal 17 court. I sat in on the criminal court. You 18 can't even witness what's happening over there 19 at the criminal court. You could sit there if 20 you -- once you get in, you know. 21 But, you know, some lawyer called in 22 the thing -- and the only reason he's 23 languishing in jail is because this thing 24 happened on the 15th on a complaint by a 25 Scranton Police Officer.  37 1 And the rest of it is hearsay, all 2 the people at the hospital. But supposedly he 3 was restrained. And he's spitting at people. 4 He's fighting mad. And now he's facing felony 5 charges. He's put on $50,000 bail. And none 6 of this is adding up to me. 7 And so he was supposed to have a 8 preliminary hearing I believe on the 17th. And 9 he didn't have it. So I'm asking why didn't he 10 have it, you know? And the only reason is the 11 arresting police officer didn't show up. They 12 call him the affiant. He didn't show up. So 13 the guy remains in jail. 14 And I don't know this guy. I mean, 15 he's 31 years old. He seems Irish, McNulty. 16 But this can't keep happening. This sort of -- 17 you can't take a person's liberty away and then 18 just move it along because everybody is making 19 money. The hospital makes money on a 155150 or 20 a 302. 21 I don't know which one of it it is, 22 but those are the medical things where they 23 think you're a danger to yourself. But, you 24 know, he's in jail. Thank you. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Little.  38 1 Anyone else? 2 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council, 3 Dave Dobrzyn, resident taxes paid as of last 4 week. We're talking about the roads 5 constantly. On the 600 of Crown Avenue it was 6 recently paved. They stole away with my curb, 7 the old slate curb. And there's a dig already 8 and a big divot at the end of the block when 9 you're closing in on the intersection. 10 And on the 800 of Hickory, now that 11 is a prime example -- another dig -- a prime 12 example of how they do not seal the ends of the 13 cut. They cut down with the stone saw and the 14 groves are left there for the water to get 15 into. I suggest an inspection after the dig 16 and make them come back and fix it. 17 Don't raise my taxes for -- to fix 18 the roads because typically a lot of times 19 we're not the ones ruining them. And it's 20 pretty sickening to see that a recently paved 21 road -- street. And once again, we need a tax 22 exempt study and go to the state and try and 23 establish some kind of limit. We're at 40 24 percent and I contend that's too high. 25 Somewhere else might have a little  39 1 church in the valley by the wild woods in the 2 fire hall. Okay, Mount Airy, there was an 3 article in the paper a bunch of people are 4 suing. Now, you know, no two friends part 5 faster than a fool and their money. 6 So but they were taking the tips off 7 the dealers and stuff and paying floor bosses. 8 It's improper and basically stiffing people. 9 And the wages they were paying for dealing 10 cards at 11:30 on a Saturday night, I wanted to 11 regurgitate. 12 Okay, let's get to the other stuff 13 going on. We have a Health and Human Services 14 Robert Kenney. And he's suggesting cod liver 15 oil and Vitamin A to fight measles instead of a 16 vaccination. Only one percent of the kids in 17 the US are Vitamin A deficient. And it could 18 cause seizures, coma and liver damage. 19 And it more or less manifests itself 20 like a case of hepatitis, yellow eyes. And, I 21 mean, what a retard that guy is. And he's had 22 every education. I wouldn't ever call somebody 23 like that that was actually mentally 24 challenged. But he is a retard. 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: There's no need for  40 1 that. 2 MR. DOBRZYN: What's that? 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: There's no need to 4 use inappropriate language like that. 5 MR. DOBRZYN: Yeah, okay, I 6 apologize. But it's very frustration when 7 somebody has all kinds of access to an 8 education and a good life and they run around 9 and start trouble like this. 10 Now, number of firms have been 11 blackballed, law firms in Washington. And, 12 you know, it's really ridiculous. They're 13 actually escorting free labor, Trump. Musk 14 offered 2 million dollars for votes. That's a 15 felony in Wisconsin. 16 F-35 customers because of all of 17 this are afraid of being cut off in a military 18 crisis from supply. So they're not going to 19 buy F-35s. Three to five trillion dollars have 20 been lost in the stockmarket in over three or 21 four weeks. 22 Trevor Milton pardoned in security 23 fraud, one half billion restitution for cyber 24 whatever -- cyber coins or if could you call 25 them that. Inflation is up 2.4 percent. And  41 1 I'll stop there. But -- 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Dobrzyn. 3 MR. DOBRZYN: Don't expect my 4 sympathy if you had -- 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 6 MS. SCHUMACHER: Marie Schumacher, I 7 wasn't going to come up but after sitting there 8 from this time, I'd like to know if you have 9 one thing or the top three things that this 10 city needs. 11 And so I would like to ask each of 12 you, tell me what you think the number one 13 thing for this city to continue and do the 14 things you're supposed to do for the residents. 15 MR. SMURL: All right. Well, Marie, 16 this is your time to speak. So in Fifth Order, 17 then if anybody wants to address that they are 18 welcome to. But this right now is your time. 19 MR. SCHUMACHER: I'm giving it to 20 you. It's a gift. 21 MR. SMURL: Well, we will do our 22 part in Fifth Order as we normally do. 23 MS. SCHUMACHER: Oh, well, thank 24 you. 25 MR. SMURL: Anyone else?  42 1 MR. SIMRELL: Good evening, Council, 2 Bailey Simrell. So I just want to follow up on 3 my concerns from last week. I see that the 4 solicitor is not here again, none of my 5 business where he is. Do we know when he'll be 6 back or if -- 7 MR. SMURL: He'll be here next week. 8 MR. SIMRELL: Cool. Yeah, so just 9 to reiterate, I'm just kind of looking to get 10 some sort of opinion or explanation or any 11 cohesive thought from the City's Law Department 12 or Council, the city continuing to use and pay 13 for Rubicon for a three-month period before 14 Council approved it. 15 So trying to figure that out, not 16 going to let up on it. I'll leave all the 17 other issues aside for now. So that's it. 18 Thanks. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you. I believe 20 that's it. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 22 MOTIONS. 23 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 24 any motions or comments? 25 MR. KING: Just a few comments. We  43 1 just found out tonight that the PUC hearing 2 that was scheduled for April 9th, it was 3 supposed to be at Lackawanna College at 6 p.m., 4 that the PUC cancelled that and now moved it 5 to 1 p.m. on -- actually it was at 1 p.m. on 6 April 9th in Wilkes-Barre. 7 And they were supposed to come up 8 here and do it at 6 p.m. at Lackawanna College. 9 But for some reason it was cancelled. As I 10 said, just found that out in caucus tonight. 11 I know there was talk about possibly 12 having it in here. But at 6:00 next -- April 13 9th that evening is a zoning hearing meeting. 14 And I know they have a long agenda. 15 They are actually going to be 16 addressing some Airbnb issues that evening, 17 plus the sense was based on the past PUC 18 hearing we had at the Cultural Center, this 19 chamber wouldn't have been able to handle the 20 number of people that would be here, a little 21 disappointed in that. 22 I don't know if there's anything we 23 could attempt to do to try to get them to 24 reconsider moving it back up here somewhere, 25 but that's something that needs to happen. As  44 1 far as last week me highlighting some of the 2 state of the city things that were brought out 3 at the state of the city that was held last 4 week, I never sit here and say that our city is 5 perfect. 6 It's far from it. I acknowledge we 7 have a lot of work to do, no two ways about it. 8 There's lots of things that need to be 9 addressed. For instance, we need to -- I wish 10 we could do -- we have a paving list for this 11 year. 12 I wish we could do more paving than 13 we are. I will say this. The streets that are 14 being addressed with the stormwater, they're 15 not listed on the paving list. But I spoke to 16 Tom Reilly, our engineer, because those roads 17 are being ripped up for the stormwater 18 remediation projects on East Mountain and 19 Keyser Valley, they're actually going to be 20 paved in conjunction with the stormwater 21 project. 22 So I think that's a good thing. So 23 that will add to the list of streets that are 24 already on the list of streets that need to be 25 paved. Back to Marie's, I think that  45 1 homelessness is something we could do a better 2 job on and we need to work on and to address. 3 And the gang issues, we need to work 4 on trying to improve that issue. For the 5 longest time there was denial that there were 6 gangs in the city. And, you know, I think we 7 all well know that there are. And that's 8 something that needs to be addressed. 9 As far as me being a lame duck, 10 well, I'm on this Council. I was elected to a 11 four-year term. I'm here. I will vote on 12 anything that comes before me. And I'm an 13 elected official until December when I leave. 14 I chose to leave on my own. I decided not to 15 run. 16 But I see nothing wrong -- I have to 17 sit here and listen to criticism every week. 18 That's fine. That's part of my job as a 19 Council person to sit here and listen to 20 criticism. But I find nothing wrong, nothing 21 wrong whatsoever for me to come up and talk 22 about some of the accomplishments that we've 23 achieved over the last three and a half years. 24 I know rarely, if ever, are we going 25 to hear any of that from the podium. So I  46 1 think it's important that at least the citizens 2 hear a little bit about some of the positive 3 things that have occurred over the last few 4 years. And, quite frankly, I'm very proud to 5 have been a part of that. Thank you. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 7 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 8 comments? 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few 10 comments. From some of the question in the 11 previous weeks I did ask about the HUP test 12 getting an update on the HUP test. And at this 13 point in time they said the city administrator 14 said to date, the County has not mailed the 15 letter requesting information from those tax 16 exempt properties. 17 So at this point in time, Mr. 18 Voldenberg, after we received that answer, can 19 we ask what are the city's next actions to be 20 taken and what the company that we hired, what 21 is city administration and that company's next 22 actions going to be in regards to the HUP test? 23 MR. VOLDENBERG: We will, sir. 24 We're reaching out to the Commissioners 25 tomorrow.  47 1 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. Regarding 2 Meadow Brook, I've asked the same questions on 3 February 27th. There was a meeting with the 4 homeowners. The homeowners were happy with the 5 meeting with the engineers. But they're 6 awaiting on some of the updates that were made. 7 Over the last three weeks I've 8 continued to ask for those updates. The answer 9 that I got was the city cannot share those 10 updates currently because the Pennsylvania 11 Department of General Services is -- they're 12 waiting on approval from them. 13 So once that's approved from them, 14 they could release that to the homeowner. So 15 at this time we're just waiting for that 16 approval. I'm happy to say we did -- Council 17 did receive a letter today letting us know that 18 the retired fire -- the fireman Mr. Morgan will 19 be seated to the pension board. So that is -- 20 that has been done and that individual will be 21 seated. 22 When it comes just to some of things 23 just off the top of my head, Marie, when it 24 comes to the city, I always think finance. 25 Since the days when I was on the School Board,  48 1 I always thought finances is the top thing on 2 the list. 3 The city was in Act 47. The School 4 District was going into recovery. We're seeing 5 what's going on with the county now. And I 6 think always we need to stay on top of our 7 finances to keep the city financially healthy 8 and do our part. 9 Right now blight, I know you see 10 lots of complaints. We see lots of complaints 11 come in. This Council fields lots of 12 complaints from the city and we get it out to 13 our code enforcement. 14 And I think it's something that we 15 have to stay on them about and we have to 16 improve. Currently we're looking at zoning. 17 Some of the ordinance was passed in 2023. But 18 as the Zoning Board is going through that, 19 we're seeing some gray areas. And I think that 20 definitely needs to be updated since it's been 21 into effect. 22 Also as Mr. King said, crime. Right 23 now the DA's Office, we're seeing a lot of 24 coordination with them. We're seeing some 25 groups that are selling drugs being taken out.  49 1 And we're seeing that coordination. That 2 coordination has to continue to happen to fight 3 crime in our city. 4 So off the top of my head, those are 5 some of the issues I see. And with that being 6 said, I spoke in caucus tonight about once Mr. 7 Gilbride gets back about getting on some of the 8 subjects we spoke about with the Zoning Board. 9 We did meet with the Zoning Board to 10 see some of the problem areas that are arising 11 as they're going through some cases. And once 12 he gets back, I would like to continue on that 13 process and improve as we go. That's all. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 15 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 16 comments? 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes, I do. Let's 18 see. First off, we had received contact from 19 someone and they had sent it to 311 as well. 20 And it's regarding some branches that are 21 behind on 600 Stipp Court in that location. So 22 if we could request if DPW is able to pick up 23 those branches. I just want to make sure they 24 received it. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: It's been reported.  50 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Excellent. Thank 2 you. And then we -- I received some responses 3 from some of my questions from last week. 4 First off, I asked regarding the Serrenti 5 Center, there was a letter that we received 6 from a resident who lives nearby about it. 7 And the response we received, the 8 city administration has reviewed the letter and 9 will meet with relevant city departments to see 10 what can be done to address resident's 11 concerns. So I'm hoping that there will be 12 some corrections made there that will be able 13 to be cleaned up for this resident. So I'll 14 stay in communication with them to make sure 15 that's happening. 16 And another response I received, I 17 had asked about City Hall's open door policy 18 and if City Council had, like, the power to be 19 able to change that or who that fell under. 20 And I know our usual solicitor isn't with us. 21 I'll probably have him answer it as well. 22 But the administration had responded 23 that the administration by and through the 24 Mayor's executive authority vested in the 25 City's Home Rule Charter determines the  51 1 appropriate levels of access to specified areas 2 of city infrastructure to ensure safety, 3 confidentiality of sensitive materials, i.e., 4 evidence obtained by law enforcement and 5 personnel records and operational efficiency. 6 So that's the response I had 7 received from them. And last week I was able 8 to attend a celebration at the Nancy K. Holmes 9 Library. And we were disappointed we didn't 10 see Miss Hodowanitz there. We expected to see 11 you, but a lot of other great people who 12 attended to celebrate some of the changes and 13 renovations that they've made there and largely 14 it being more accessible now to those who might 15 be using wheelchairs or strollers. 16 I actually brought my son with the 17 stroller to try out the new ramp. And it 18 worked great. And the doors were automatic and 19 there were quite a few people there that do use 20 wheelchairs. And so I'm proud to see that 21 library becoming accessible. 22 And one of the -- one of the people 23 that we had spoken with had brought up a 24 concern about the pool renovations and we 25 talked about it a little bit in caucus. But he  52 1 wanted to make sure that there would be, you 2 know, some way that people could get into the 3 water who do use wheelchairs because, like, his 4 usual wheelchair, a power wheelchair you 5 wouldn't be able to bring it. 6 It would be -- it would be damaged. 7 So there used to be -- they have availability 8 of lifts to bring people in and out. So I 9 think we still might have that equipment. So I 10 wanted to see if we explore that or I believe 11 Councilman Smurl was also -- we were provided 12 with some other information on like aqua 13 wheelchairs that could be used so that people 14 could enter the water, like, the pool at Nay 15 Aug is going to be a zero entry pool. 16 So that would be something that 17 would potentially work well there. So I just 18 wanted to make mention of that. And I know 19 Miss Schumacher had asked about some of our -- 20 our top concerns. And Councilman Schuster had 21 brought up, like, all the three that I had 22 written down too, so definitely our city's 23 financial stability is very important to me and 24 a high priority as well as crime and public 25 safety.  53 1 And then blight has always been very 2 high on my list since I've been on Council as 3 well. You're welcome. And, oh, and I just 4 wanted to respond to some comments that were 5 directed towards me in public comment. So I'm 6 not planning on resigning from my position as a 7 Council member. 8 I'm not sure why I would. Last week 9 I did state that I wasn't -- I wasn't fully 10 sure if that is what I had heard from 11 Mr. Mancini. And I, you know, appreciate that 12 you clarified your remarks with me. I, you 13 know, I still don't think that singling out any 14 group of people and calling them sexual 15 predators is something I agree with. 16 I do agree that we should continue 17 addressing as a city sexual predators in the 18 city. And I appreciate the Scranton Police in 19 doing that for us. So I understand, you know, 20 why that would be a concern. 21 But I just don't think we need to 22 single out a community, whether it's the LGBTQ 23 community or the homeless community that he had 24 clarified that he meant to say. So I also do 25 stand by what I said regarding politics within  54 1 this room. 2 I do appreciate what people have to 3 bring to the table and, you know, are meant to 4 discuss your problems within the city. And 5 there is also a lot of positive things 6 happening with the city. But I want people to 7 come here and tell us what we need to work on 8 and what we need to fix or correct. 9 But I think that there's a gray line 10 when it can also cross over into more a 11 campaign discussion as opposed to just bringing 12 issues regarding the city to us. And there was 13 one other thing that I just wanted to mention 14 since I had brought that up last week and just 15 wanted to discourage it. 16 It's not to say that you can't say 17 whatever you would like at the podium. You 18 certainly can. There was one other thing 19 brought up tonight, you know, some language 20 that was used and really appreciate if people 21 would use respectful language in here that is 22 within our -- within our Council rules and what 23 we ask of you. 24 I think it's really offensive to use 25 that terminology, especially people who are  55 1 intellectually disabled I think would be 2 greatly offended by that or those with loved 3 ones who have intellectual disability. So I 4 wanted to make sure I point that out. That's 5 all that I have. Thank you. 6 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 7 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 8 motions or comments? 9 MR. MCANDREW: I have a few. So I 10 also have a problem with the "R" word. Come 11 on. I'm a big proponent of freedom of speech. 12 I speak my mind. I never have a problem doing 13 it. But I'm an educator. And I'm surrounded 14 by all types of kids and their levels of 15 learning. 16 And that's a word that's not 17 tolerated anywhere. You could call whatever 18 you want, but that word I just have a huge 19 problem with and I hope it doesn't happen here 20 again. 21 Okay, next, so for Mr. Spindler, how 22 about we take a look -- another look at 1704 23 Elizabeth Street, okay, you know, is it an 24 Airbnb? Has code enforcement been there? Have 25 they issued either a notice or citation at this  56 1 property? 2 And if so, also contact in tandem 3 zoning. See if they appeared or petitioned at 4 a meeting for a special exception. Maybe we 5 could, you know, get some final closure on this 6 property and what the activity really is. 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will and I'll 8 report back. 9 MR. MCANDREW: Thank you. Let's 10 see -- I also was shocked when I heard from the 11 PUC's cancelling their meeting. You know, you 12 really disappointed and did a number on the 13 residents with the proposed rate hike and then 14 you cancel the meeting here. 15 And supposedly if all of you or if 16 any of us want to go, it's going to be during 17 the day, Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport. I just 18 think that's a -- that wasn't a good move. 19 You're not making friends doing that. All 20 right. 21 And so, yeah, I agree with my two 22 colleagues here. Issues, what are the three -- 23 there's more than three. All right. The three 24 biggest I agree we have to be financially 25 sound, right, keep taxes at bay. Public  57 1 safety, we need to work on that because of the 2 current climate. 3 Also, you know, blight's an issue. 4 It's always going to be an issue. But I have 5 personal ones, Marie. I feel we -- my personal 6 needs are I think that are priorities for me or 7 I'd like to see done better here in City Hall 8 is better communication. 9 And when I mean better 10 communication, I mean timely responses to our 11 inquiries that we bring forth for you in this 12 room. All right. They're not timely. All 13 right. So I think -- I think we need -- I'd 14 like to see that improve. 15 I'd also like to see transparency. 16 Everybody in this building claims and it's one 17 of their top priorities; but unfortunately, I 18 hear stuff on the street or on social media or 19 in the paper before I hear it formally from 20 here. 21 So I have a problem with that. And 22 I also think that this, you know, this building 23 or the people within it and administration 24 needs to pay better attention to the needs and 25 interest of all of you. And I'm only just  58 1 circling around with better communication -- 2 and I know you guys come and we forward a lot 3 of concerns, issues. 4 We inquire on your behalf, not just 5 all of you sitting in the room. We do it 24/7. 6 You would not believe the amount of e-mails 7 that comes with the job. And I love it and I 8 try to answer every one in a timely fashion. 9 I'm asking for it here so I try to do it myself 10 and (inaudible) you know, the behavior I seek 11 from here. 12 But it's something that, you know, 13 we do. And I know it's frustrating to us. 14 It's frustrating to you. And we don't have the 15 answers. But there is only so much we can do. 16 We're not here day-to-day. We're not 17 day-to-day operations people. 18 But just to sum it up, they're the 19 three things that I'd like to see in addition 20 to the obvious ones that we need to do better 21 with. Also, we talked a little bit in caucus 22 about the pools, right, that's been a hot topic 23 since I'm here five -- I'm here, Jesus, five, 24 six years. 25 And I'm a little confused because I  59 1 have been seeing some, you know, addresses from 2 the Mayor. I'm seeing some, you know, 3 information on the website, on Facebook. I 4 want to know every pool that we're working on, 5 the depth from end to end. 6 I don't want to be surprised a year 7 or two from now that every pool is 3 feet. I'm 8 just afraid of that. I'm not accusing 9 anything. But I just for clarity's sake, I 10 want to know the depth of every pool that's 11 being worked on in this city or every project 12 that we're working on over the next two years. 13 All right. 14 Also, we had an issue -- there was 15 an issue that a resident came to me about a lot 16 next door to Willard School, right, the blight. 17 The property has a lot of blight, overgrowth. 18 And we did reach out through you and myself 19 that we got they cleaned it up a little bit. 20 But the neighbor said, you know, 21 they never came back. So can we have code 22 enforcement just circle around because, guess 23 what, my grass is starting to grow in my 24 backyard. So this is leftover stuff that I'm 25 sure that it's going to get worse over there if  60 1 we don't circle back and take a peek at that. 2 And I think -- that's all I have. Thank you. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 4 I will start off with last week Mr. Rodriguez 5 was here and he had some concerns about his 6 taxes. And he had met with Adam Joyce our 7 Treasurer. But there is something that needs 8 to be addressed. 9 The problem with it is when a person 10 pays a delinquent tax on a property at the 11 Single Tax Office, they are not being informed 12 that they still owe for trash fees. Now, 13 delinquent trash fees are sent to Portnoff for 14 collection. 15 So that's really a different agency. 16 So I'm hoping we can either get together with 17 the Single Tax Office and perhaps put up a 18 notice or at least let people know if their 19 trash is delinquent it is sent somewhere else 20 for collection. And maybe this will help them 21 from getting a large accumulation after fees. 22 So, Mr. Voldenberg, if you would 23 send that to the Single Tax Office and ask if 24 there's some way they could put up a note or 25 something if they know people -- if their tax  61 1 for their garbage fee is delinquent, would they 2 tell them at that point so that they know it 3 has been sent to a different office. 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. Smurl. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you. The second 6 thing is, ARPA on our website, I've been asked 7 about not being able to get to any of the ARPA 8 information. So I did go onto Scranton's 9 website, Scrantonpa.gov and I typed ARPA -- 10 A-R-P-A, in the top right search column of the 11 city's website. 12 I got -- as soon as I typed that in 13 and I typed in ARPA, I got nine pages of every 14 single transaction that's done with the ARPA 15 money, every single dollar spent. And that has 16 come through Council also. So, Mr. Argenta, I 17 know you've been looking for this. So this is 18 available there. Thank you. 19 The other thing, for NeighborWorks, 20 they -- I guess you could call them a loan. 21 But the money that NeighborWorks has from 22 ours -- from us is one of the loans, if you 23 call it that, is actually renovation of 635 24 Brook Street. 25 And that building should be created  62 1 or, I'm sorry, completed by April. And then 2 the money will turn back to the city if that is 3 sold. And there is another one for $200,000. 4 That also is with NeighborWorks. It's for the 5 Home Buyer Project. And if you look that up, 6 that's project number 60021501.100.00000000. 7 So that's -- so that's where 8 there's -- so it's actually like 200 and some 9 or 300 and some thousand dollars that's out. 10 But that's kind of reoccurring. The financial 11 disclosures from people on boards from the 12 city, I did ask for those. And I received 13 them. 14 But we still seem to have a pile of 15 people that are still listed on boards but they 16 are not. So I asked Mr. Voldenberg to send it 17 to the Law Department because it is their job 18 to provide us with all of those forms. And if 19 somebody doesn't have it, that's their job to 20 get it. 21 So hopefully we'll have that -- an 22 updated one this coming week with all of these 23 other people deleted off of there so we could 24 have a current one. The other thing, the USB 25 port on the computer in the foyer coming in,  63 1 I spoke with the IT Department. 2 And they said before that was put 3 out in service out in use that the IT 4 Department secured it so you could not get 5 anything out of there. The price for the 6 holiday lights, the removal of the light -- 7 this is the contract. And this is also online. 8 So if you need to see it, it is there. 9 It is -- it gives you a list of what 10 they what the company did, the price removal of 11 city lights from the storage unit, inspect, 12 repair, replace bulbs, brackets, install 13 lights, remove the decorations, all the 14 electrical extension cords, all the repair, 15 broken lighting. 16 And the total of that is $87,484. 17 This company was the lowest responsible bidder 18 and that did come through Council. And the 19 award of the contract did not come through 20 Council, but it doesn't have to to be honest 21 with you. They could make that choice without 22 us. 23 So that was paid -- there was one 24 payment was out in December. And I think it 25 was for about $57,000. Do you remember  64 1 approximately $57,000? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: Fifty-four 3 thousand. 4 MR. SMURL: I'm sorry, $54,000, no 5 payment since then. So that's where that is 6 right now. The financial update meeting I 7 attend monthly. This one I attended we went 8 over the current cash position of the city, 9 revenues and the audit which is under way, 10 worker's comp funding account, removal 11 insurance policies and our debt service. 12 We also spoke about the HUP test, 13 which comes up a lot. And the thing with the 14 HUP test is -- and I believe the letters to be 15 sent out have been prepared I believe somewhere 16 in October of last year. So I had -- I asked 17 Mr. Voldenberg to send a letter to Mr. Tobin 18 and to the County Commissioners. 19 I don't know if they're aware that 20 they have not been sent out there. I don't 21 know if it was a mistake or if -- I hope we 22 have the money to send them out because that 23 is -- that's holding up the entire process of 24 the company that we hired and that the city is 25 paying for.  65 1 On the financial update, the thing 2 that stuck out the most was the DPW -- or, I'm 3 sorry, the Parks and Rec overtime. But that 4 like before we explained was because of the 5 code blues that we had an extensively cold 6 winter this year. So that's why we had all of 7 that overtime. 8 We did increase that in the budget 9 last year. But this year it was -- it was just 10 very different. It was cold a lot more than 11 normal. So I don't know if adding more money 12 next year is the right answer. 13 Maybe leave it alone and hopefully 14 the weather will balance out. But I don't know 15 that answer. So that will be for -- that will 16 be for the administration to decide. The other 17 thing, there was a complaint about -- about 18 South Main Avenue and Rundle Street. 19 It was a bunch of illegally parked 20 cars. And I believe Scranton -- yeah, this is 21 the Scranton Highway Unit went out. And can 22 they coordinate a response with city code 23 enforcement and also with Taylor Police 24 Department and Taylor Code Enforcement. 25 Scranton PD tagged six cars parked  66 1 illegally on the roadway and Scranton also 2 seized six improper registration license 3 plates. Code enforcement officers cited eight. 4 And Taylor PD also addressed approximately 15 5 vehicles that were in violation of South Main 6 Avenue in Taylor. 7 So that was taken care of. I was 8 also -- I was able to attend a meeting with the 9 Mayor yesterday and Eileen Cipriani. 10 PennDOT our -- PennDOT secretary was here. And 11 they were speaking about implementing the 12 walkability study and the connectivity plan and 13 also about all of the bridges in the City of 14 Scranton and what we have to go through to get 15 these done. 16 It's a long process. And there's 17 still a ton of work that has to be done. 18 Lackawanna Avenue also came up. So I believe 19 we will be looking at that and did try to 20 separate the top of Lackawanna Avenue. That is 21 separated in the plans. So hopefully that will 22 be released before we have to do the entire 23 project of Lackawanna Avenue. 24 We also had a vacant property review 25 committee meeting yesterday afternoon,  67 1 basically like a work session. We discussed 2 what properties we want to do and what we -- 3 our plans are doing with demolition and all the 4 blight in the city. 5 So the first meeting because it will 6 be -- the attorneys will be finished with 7 that -- with all of that. The first meeting 8 will be June 30th at 3 p.m. It will be open to 9 the public. So everyone's invited to come with 10 any of your suggestions of blighted property. 11 And there are many of them. 12 And believe me, we have lists and 13 lists and lists. So they're not all going to 14 be done this year. There's just way too many 15 things to take care of. But that has begun. 16 That process has begun. And another thing I 17 went over this week was another truck stuck 18 under Luzerne Street bridge. 19 So it's evident the signage just 20 simply didn't work. I looked at other 21 municipalities and what they do with low bridge 22 problems. So what I found is -- this is just 23 one company and it's called an over height 24 warning system. 25 And that seems to be the most  68 1 effective. It works on either 110 volt or it 2 works on solar panels. What it does is, it 3 sends a beam across like if you have a garage, 4 if you walk through the garage and your garage 5 door is coming down, you break that beam, it 6 sends a signal out. 7 So what this does if the truck is 8 too high it breaks the beam and then you could 9 have it actually go to lighted signs before you 10 get to the underpass or you could have it go to 11 anything really, but something to warn them to 12 stop them from doing that. 13 And I do have this pamphlet, Mr. 14 Voldenberg, if you will forward this. I don't 15 know if this would go to administration or the 16 police department, whoever would maybe look 17 into this. I don't know if they're aware of 18 this type of thing. 19 But it is available and hopefully we 20 could do something with these because signage 21 really isn't working. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll take care of 23 it. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. And two 25 other things, one is the phone system. City  69 1 Hall, we've had our phone system updated in the 2 past couple months. And one of the main 3 concerns was the people saying they called and 4 they don't get anybody or nobody calls them 5 back. 6 So in this phone system now what 7 happens is if you call a department and you 8 happen to leave an e-mail or a message on the 9 phone, our phone system now turns that into an 10 e-mail and it goes to that person, whoever you 11 sent it to. It is recorded, the day and the 12 time and who it was sent to. 13 If you happen to call and just hang 14 up and not leave a message, your phone number 15 is recorded. So is the time and day. But 16 naturally we don't have a name so we can't 17 really process that. But if you say you are 18 not getting a call back -- if you just get us 19 close to the day and the time, we will find out 20 exactly what happened to your call if it was 21 dropped, if it was lost, if they had gotten it 22 and just didn't respond. 23 But now we have that availability to 24 us. And we can trace every phone call that 25 comes into City Hall. So I believe that's a  70 1 good thing so that we could start clearing up 2 all of the calls that people say they are not 3 getting. I have one last thing. 4 This is the letter from 5 NeighborWorks that we were supposed to have 6 received. So it was brought to my attention 7 that a copy of a letter that was sent to 8 NeighborWorks Board of Directors dated March 9 5th, was also copied to Scranton City Council. 10 I finally received a copy of the letter on 11 March 28th. 12 It remains unknown why City Council 13 did not receive our copy until then. The 14 letter in question was sent by Attorney Brendan 15 N. Fitzgerald from the law firm of Joyce 16 Carmody and Moran, PC, 9 North Main Street, 17 Pittston, PA. 18 The letter clearly states that it is 19 Attorney Fitzgerald's opinion that Todd Pousley 20 is an employee of NeighborWorks and a City 21 Council candidate has clear conflict of 22 interest if elected to the position and asked 23 the Board directly to clarify whether 24 Mr. Pousley intends to resign from his position 25 at NeighborWorks or whether he should be  71 1 elected -- whether if he should be elected to 2 City Council position. 3 Now, the source of this letter is 4 kind of confusing to me since to the best of my 5 knowledge Attorney Fitzgerald does not live in 6 the City of Scranton, therefore, would not be 7 eligible to even vote in the May 20th, '25, 8 primary election for City Council. 9 In addition, the attorney does not 10 indicate in this letter that he's representing 11 anybody, specifically a voter from the City of 12 Scranton. Additionally, Joseph Joyce, a 13 partner in the JCM law firm is also the Vice 14 Chair of the board member of NeighborWorks. To 15 make it more interesting, Attorney Larry Moran, 16 Jr., another partner in the law firm, to my 17 knowledge is and has been very involved in 18 Lackawanna County Democratic Committee in 19 various leadership positions. 20 So one could view that this letter 21 is an effort to intimidate Board of Directors 22 on NeighborWorks into forcing Mr. Pousley to 23 withdraw from the Democratic primary race for 24 the City of Scranton. So I hope this clearly 25 is not the case.  72 1 Mr. Pousley has also served several 2 years with the -- as a member of the Chairman 3 of the Scranton City Planning Commission with 4 great distinction and not a single issue has 5 ever happened and there's no questions or 6 conflict of interest during this time. 7 So, Mr. Voldenberg, I would ask you 8 at this time send a letter to the leadership of 9 NeighborWorks requesting they do an internal 10 investigation on the potential of conflict of 11 interest of Mr. Pousley serving on City Council 12 from their perspective. 13 And as part of that investigation if 14 they could contact the State Ethics Commission 15 also for an opinion. I will also instruct 16 Council Solicitor Gilbride when he returns to 17 do the same as well as the City of Scranton 18 Ethics Code language and then render an opinion 19 to us. I do have that -- all of that 20 information in that letter available if anybody 21 else would like it. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. Thank you, 23 sir. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.
