VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 17 CITIZENS PARTICIPATION. 18 MR. SMURL: First, Joan Hodowanitz. 19 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 20 Scranton. Mr. Smurl, next week when you do the 21 moment of silence, why don't we pray for 22 spring? I'm getting fed up. I don't know how 23 many people realize it, but this week is 24 National Library Week across the country. 25 And the library it's one of the 5 1 gifts that we have in this country and we 2 should all take advantage of it. I certainly 3 did when I was growing up. And since I 4 retired, it's one of my joys. I have 5 Alzheimer's on both sides of my family. 6 And I was reading about a study in 7 which it said one of the magic bullets to 8 protect yourself from dementia is lifelong 9 learning. And the library certainly assists 10 anybody in doing that. 11 But a lot people think of the 12 library as a stuffy warehouse for old books. 13 And, yes, there are books there. But there's 14 so much more. I brought some of the fliers 15 about some of the activities that's going on at 16 the library. 17 May 1st, there's a presentation at 18 the Albright about how -- for seniors how to 19 protect yourself from scam artists and what to 20 do if you're a victim. 21 Here's a flier on teen programs in 22 the month of May. There's teen game night. 23 And, I mean, I don't understand these role 24 playing games, but they have it. There's a 25 Teen Creator Lab. There is a teen Festival of 6 1 Stories. There's an escape room for teens, 2 never heard of that and a teen Anime Club and 3 all kinds of things. 4 And there is movie matinees on 5 Wednesday, all free up at the library. Let's 6 see, May 7th Anora; May 14th, Amelia Perez. 7 May 21st, Baby Girl; and May 28th, Nosferatu, a 8 gothic movie. 9 Hey, if you like arts and crafts, 10 Knot, K-N-O-T, Knot Another Stitch Group. You 11 could learn how to crochet and knit and 12 everything else. And let's see, Super Smash 13 Brothers, ultimate 18 plus tournament. I don't 14 even know what that is. You are supposed to 15 test your skills and compete against fellow 16 gamers for people who do computer games, 17 whatever. 18 There's a book club, May 21st, The 19 Lion Women of Tehran, whatever. And then there 20 will be a history tour of the Scranton Public 21 Library itself in May, all kinds of things 22 going on. 23 And here is a real winner. Every 24 year the Friends of the Scranton Public Library 25 sponsor a bus trip. Last year we went to the 7 1 American Museum of Natural History in New York 2 City. And if you saw the movie A Night at the 3 Museum, that was the museum. It was wonderful. 4 Okay, this year August 16th, we will 5 be going to the Franklin Institute in 6 Philadelphia. These bus trips are wonderful, 7 you know, I mean, it's a nominal price, you 8 know, it includes everything. You know, I 9 think it's $85 if you're a member of the 10 friends, 90 if you're not. 11 If you are over 50 I think your 12 membership is like $5 a year. That allows you 13 to get discounts on buying books at our book 14 sales and all kinds of wonderful things. So 15 I'm here to tell you that you have a gift from 16 Joseph Albright and the Scranton Public 17 Library. 18 By the way, Nancy Kay Holmes, one of 19 your predecessors who sat up there, her -- her 20 namesake library in Green Ridge is open again. 21 All the ADA changes have been made. It's 22 beautiful, serves not only Scranton but 23 Dunmore. 24 So, you know, hey, do yourself a 25 favor. This is something that's there for your 8 1 use, the use of your children, the use of your 2 parents, everybody. We ask no questions. We 3 charge you no fees. Enjoy the library. Thank 4 you. 5 MR. SMURL: Joan, we were there. We 6 were there waiting for you, but you didn't 7 come. 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: I know. I saw it. 9 I read it in the paper. I was and I was sick. 10 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Norma 11 Jeffries. 12 MS. JEFFRIES: Norma Jeffries, 13 Scranton resident, and it's been three weeks 14 since I've been here. And I try to keep up 15 with some of the things that were going on here 16 by looking at ECTV which is really great, but 17 my family sort of yelled at me. We're on 18 vacation, you don't have to watch that. 19 But one of the things that I wanted 20 to -- that hit me while I was away was the 21 political environment. And I met a lot of 22 people coming to City Council. I've been 23 coming for just about six years. And I've met 24 a lot of folks who are sitting out in the 25 hallway and we'll get to chitchat. 9 1 And quite of few of them are running 2 for offices now. And I thought to myself, I 3 said, this is interesting that so many people 4 have a great interest in the City of Scranton 5 that they want to see what they could do to 6 make it better. 7 So as I listened to social media as 8 to some of the things that were being 9 discussed, you know, I thought this is all well 10 and good. I live in Scranton. And I'm sure 11 all the other people that ride around Scranton, 12 we know where the potholes are. We know where 13 the dilapidated houses are. 14 We know where the homeless and 15 the -- they don't want me to say homeless 16 anymore. I'm trying to think of what word they 17 keep telling me -- the unhoused are. So we 18 know all of that. I don't need anybody to tell 19 me that. 20 What I need you to do, those of you 21 that are running for office, I need to you tell 22 me what is your plan. What is your plan to 23 handling these things that are deficient in the 24 City of Scranton? What is your plan to fix the 25 potholes? 10 1 Tell me what your plan is and then 2 maybe I could make an intelligent decision as 3 who to vote for. People do come and ask me, 4 you know, who should I vote for? Who should I 5 vote for? Listen to your candidates. Listen 6 to what they have to say, see if their plan is 7 going to be something that's going to be good 8 for Scranton. 9 Is it going to help us out any? And 10 I haven't seen that yet. So maybe I've been 11 missing it. Maybe I haven't listened to the 12 proper venues. But I haven't heard that. So 13 any of you who are running for office, it would 14 be very beneficial to not only me, but to the 15 City of Scranton to the citizens of Scranton. 16 Tell us what your plan is. Tell us 17 what you're going to do to help us as we go 18 forward in 2026. One of the other things that 19 I noticed as I was out there is that I wanted 20 to know more about the Rubicon. I was very 21 disappointed in that that that was voted on and 22 voted in for a company from what I understand 23 did not meet the requirements the first time 24 around and then to turn around and give them 25 another five-year contract. 11 1 So I decided and I was asking one of 2 the people in Council here tonight, I need to 3 find out more. What is it that we as a city 4 would provide something to a company that was 5 deficient in their operation and we continue to 6 give them a budget? So that was something that 7 was on my plate as to what I was concerned 8 about. 9 And, oh, another thing that I was 10 thinking about as well -- well, me and my 11 homeless -- one of the places I visited they 12 had a lot of homeless people. We're not alone 13 in this situation. I was in San Diego and I 14 was in Hawaii. And they both have unbelievable 15 homeless people. And they just sleep on the 16 street. And they pass the bill that the street 17 is theirs as well as any other citizen. 18 So, you know, this is a national 19 problem. It's not just a Scranton problem. 20 But I'm just hoping that going forward that 21 Scranton can rejuvenate and do something about 22 our homeless situation. And we're finished 23 with winter now so I guess our code blues are 24 finished for the year, well, maybe not because 25 it's supposed to be cold tonight. 12 1 You know, but, you know, hopefully 2 by the time 2026 rolls around that we could 3 have something positive, another place that we 4 could have for the code blue situation to help 5 those unhoused people that are out there on the 6 street. Okay, that's all I have for tonight. 7 Okay, thank you. 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Norma. Bob 9 Bolus. 10 MR. BOLUS: Good evening, Council, 11 Bob Bolus, Scranton. You know, I'm going to 12 bring up some things here in a little different 13 way in a format. A child falls overboard or 14 off a boat or into a pool, and what does the 15 person watching them say to the child? Start 16 running. It's what you learned to do in a 17 splash park. 18 They never had the opportunity to 19 learn how to swim. The reason I bring that up, 20 we have Nay Aug turn into a mud park, used to 21 be Lake Lincoln. We all learned to swim. Now 22 we got to learn how to run on a little pad, 23 which is a joke. 24 I watched Gaughan and Cognetti at 25 Chili's. Chili's should be in Scranton, not 13 1 Dickson City. She's not the Mayor there. And 2 whatever he thinks he is, he couldn't show up 3 at his own meeting because he claimed he was 4 ill but yet with Pelosi and Cognetti in the 5 pouring rain in front of the courthouse. 6 I had the Trump trailer on its way 7 to come down there. By the time we really 8 realized what was going on with Pelosi and all, 9 by the time I would have got there, it was 10 breaking up. But the fun part would have been 11 the idiots that were all standing out there 12 would have want to run out in front of the 13 truck and think they were going to stop it. 14 Well, I don't stop with the truck. 15 I didn't stop in Philadelphia, Texas or 16 anywhere else. We would have came. You want 17 to commit suicide, run in front of the truck. 18 And we'll give you courtesy to show what we 19 really think about you. After we run over you, 20 we will back up over you to see if you're okay. 21 And you could take your Democrat 22 flag with you. This is our country. And what 23 I saw there was the most pathetic display of 24 our political people in this community standing 25 out there when you hit us with a 33 percent tax 14 1 increase, idiots that are saying, oh, your 2 property could sell for this so that's how 3 we're going to reassess it. It's a joke what's 4 going on here. 5 And we got to stop it. You got to 6 look at Gaughan. He works for the county. 7 He's one of our employees. We employ him. 8 We're his employer. Where the hell does he 9 come off thinking he could spend our money to 10 defend his political way he wants to turn 11 around and get a puppy next to him that's going 12 to do his bidding, rather than what's right for 13 the people in the community. 14 He did it here and he's trying to do 15 it there. That's why I put his head on the 16 body of a skunk. He skunked us here. He's not 17 going to get away with it over there. I'm 18 running for Mayor in Scranton as a Republican 19 write-in. I should have been able to get on 20 the ballot even though they're talking I can't 21 run or take the seat later on. 22 It's all up for expungements and 23 other things going on. But because we had a 24 rogue Republican or whatever he is, Charlie 25 Spano, he filed against it. But the law tells 15 1 that I could run, get on the ballot -- whether 2 I could take the seat, that's down the road. 3 That's the future. 4 So the way we look at it, the past 5 is gone because judges are quoting the past. 6 The present is now and the future doesn't 7 belong to any of us who's going to win, who's 8 going to loose. But the first order if I am 9 elected in Scranton I'll be taking down the 10 damn Biden signs off the expressway and Spruce 11 Street and taking our city back. 12 We got to turn around and start 13 looking at what is our future. You know, 14 taxpayer body -- money, the people in this 15 community, we look to the leadership. We could 16 have built a FedEx -- a flex building. And 17 you're familiar, Mr. Smurl, I'm sorry with flex 18 buildings and all that. 19 We could have built one of them and 20 kept the bubble gum factory here. We know how 21 to think out of the box, but we don't here. We 22 could have been building flex buildings in 23 other areas of the community and bringing in 24 cash dollars and saving the taxpayers this 25 ridiculous increase and the stupidity behind 16 1 the reassessment. 2 You got realtors -- the only time 3 they really do a damn thing is if they see 4 somebody hot coming in the door, then they get 5 active on your property. Other than that, it 6 will sit there forever. They look at this and 7 look at that. 8 You can't tell us what it will bring 9 in your opinion. And we're going to do 10 something. We're filing lawsuits. They should 11 be filed tomorrow against the assessment, 12 against the tax and against Gaughan 13 politicalizing himself at our expense to cover 14 up his issues at our expense. 15 And it's going to come to an end 16 because now the people in this community, sir, 17 are going to take Scranton and Lackawanna 18 County back. Thank you. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus. 20 Les Spindler. 21 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 22 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 23 homeowner. I want to bring something up from 24 last week. Dave Dobrzyn was talking about RFK, 25 Jr., and he said a word that Councilwoman 17 1 Rothchild didn't like and she was trying to 2 reprimand him. 3 Well, it wasn't nice what he said. 4 But the US Constitution allows him to say 5 something like that, whether you like it or 6 not. I've been coming to these meetings for 7 many, many years. And years ago Judy Gatelli 8 tried to silence us. 9 She tried to lock us out of City 10 Hall. We had the ACLU come here and that's 11 what they said. We can't say anything vulgar, 12 can't say anything threatening, but other than 13 that, what Dave said wasn't vulgar. It wasn't 14 threatening. 15 You cannot stop him from saying 16 something like that. You might not like it, 17 but you got to live with it because if you want 18 us to bring the ACLU in again, we can do that. 19 Okay, last year North Rebecca where 20 it -- which goes along side of my house was 21 supposed to be -- it was on the paving list. 22 It wasn't paved in the spring. Oh, maybe it 23 will be paved in the fall. It wasn't paved in 24 the fall. Now, it's not on this year's paving 25 list. 18 1 I'd like to know what the heck is 2 going on. Do you have to be an elected 3 politician to get your street paved in this 4 city? I guess that's what you have to do 5 because that's -- they're the only ones getting 6 their streets paved. 7 Next thing, I brought this up quite 8 a while ago about the big huge pave cut on 9 Dorothy Street. Well, it was fixed quite a few 10 weeks ago but they never sealed it. If they 11 don't seal it, it's a big pave cut. Like I 12 said, they fixed it but if it's not sealed, 13 it's just going to come back up. They don't do 14 things the right way. 15 Next thing, I know Lynn Labrosky has 16 brought this up. The bridge on Broadway that 17 goes over Lackawanna River, there's concrete 18 barriers there. Why? I haven't seen anything 19 being done there for two years or whatever 20 those barriers are there. Does anybody know 21 what's going on there? 22 MR. SMURL: It's to restrict traffic 23 and restrict the weight. 24 MR. SPINDLER: Well, why don't they 25 just fix the bridge instead of restricting 19 1 weight? Why do you want to restrict traffic? 2 People go -- 3 MR. SMURL: So they don't have three 4 full lanes of traffic on the bridge at one 5 time. 6 MR. SPINDLER: I think that's 7 ridiculous. Okay, next thing, I said this 8 before for years it's all I heard was Joe Biden 9 get bashed here. Well, the way our -- the 10 shape our country's in now, it's ridiculous 11 with all of these tariffs. 12 It was on Good Morning America 13 yesterday even Trump's allies are against him 14 now with all these tariffs. They said Ted Cruz 15 and Rand Paul, two of his biggest supporters 16 said he's going to ruin the Republican party 17 for years if he doesn't stop with these 18 tariffs. Even his own party is turning against 19 him. 20 And the local 28 news did a story. 21 Maya Angelou Memoir, a holocaust book were 22 among those pulled from the Naval Academy and 23 Library in a DEI purge. That's -- this 24 administration is doing so much bad for this 25 country it's unbelievable. 20 1 He's a racist. He's an antisemitic 2 and I don't think there's anybody he likes but 3 himself. So as I said last week, after this 4 guy's done with everything he's doing, people 5 are going to wish Joe Biden was back in office. 6 Thank you. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Spindler. 8 Lenny Srebro. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg, can 10 we find out about the history of that North 11 Rebecca and why it was removed from the list 12 and what the plans are moving forward? 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: And then the Dorothy 15 Street, was that -- was that -- was that pave 16 cut part of that walkthrough that we talked 17 about in caucus? 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: No. That was a 19 separate pave cut. It was paved. However, it 20 wasn't sealed properly according to 21 Mr. Spindler. 22 MR. SCHUSTER: Okay, if we could -- 23 MR. SREBRO: Good evening, Council, 24 Lenny Srebro, Keyser Valley flood victim. But 25 ironically, I'm not here to talk about the 21 1 flooding problem tonight. I just recently 2 found out about the proposed solar panel farm 3 that is supposed to be put in up the Morgan 4 Highway a little bit up the hill there. 5 I want you to know that I lived 6 right there for about 35 years before I moved 7 to where I'm at now. I'd like to think I know 8 almost every inch of that mountain. 9 I most -- over the years, I mostly 10 rode a four wheel drive ATV on every single 11 trail and I made my own trail where you 12 couldn't make trails. I did multiple hikes 13 with different people by foot all over that 14 mountain. 15 And I also camped all over that 16 mountain. That field that the solar panel is 17 proposed to be on is a right on top of an 18 incline that goes down to Pike Street where 19 there's about eight homes there with families 20 and that's where I used to live. 21 I notice after heavy storms up on 22 that mountain on that field after a heavy rain 23 when the water pooled, it would be all kinds of 24 neat colors like a rainbow. There's stuff in 25 that ground that is just has been always coming 22 1 up to the top that it goes down to, like I 2 said, Pike Street where neighbors are. 3 There are also many mine shafts 4 right there in that mountain. One was about a 5 100 yards right behind the house I lived in. 6 And it was wide open until after I moved. I 7 understand that there was a super fund project 8 that they did many years ago to clean that up, 9 the toxic waste they were illegally dumping in 10 there. 11 The way that I understand it is you 12 can't touch that ground, you know, no doubt 13 about it they are going to have to dig it up. 14 They're going to have level off that field 15 because it is rough. And I understand that you 16 guys okayed it, you know. It's all toxic waste 17 under there. 18 And here's something to think about. 19 When I moved there in the mid80s, my daughter 20 at that time was a toddler. She grew up there 21 until she got married in her 20s. She 22 developed MS, multiple sclerosis. She's in the 23 advanced stages of it now. 24 I come from a large family, 10 25 immediate brothers and sisters, 13 uncles. 23 1 They all have children. And they all have 2 grandchildren, none have MS. We can't prove 3 it. But we do believe that MS was caused by 4 growing up there with all of those chemicals 5 and the toxins that are buried below there. 6 Thanks for your time. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Srebro. 8 Ron Ellman. 9 MR. ELLMAN: Hello, my Council. 10 Last week I heard Princess Paige on my car 11 stereo. But because of all of the background 12 noise of her patting herself on the back 13 continuously, I finally turned it off. 14 You know, I should appreciate her 15 more coming down the hill to spend some time 16 with her subjects. This is cherished time to 17 see her, I guess. 18 You know, for years I've 19 occasionally referred to the sour stench of 20 graft and corruption and favoritism going on 21 right here in this area, just this little 22 circle around here. 23 It seems finally it just got so 24 overwhelming there wasn't no way to submerge it 25 anymore. If just this minute amount that was 24 1 exposed in the paper the last few days, just 2 think what is going on right under our noses in 3 this city. 4 Things get out that are never 5 printed or never told to the public. Two days 6 before Mr. Courtright problems rose, people at 7 the Taurus Club were talking about it. This is 8 the same here. These people knew a lot of 9 these things. It just was kept quiet from 10 voters, from the people paying for everything. 11 That's got to quit. 12 You people don't vote. You 13 don't -- too many people just have no interest 14 in what's going on right under their noses. 15 It's a shame. This could be such a good city 16 with some -- there's so much waste, wasted 17 money on grants to restaurants and grants to 18 failing businesses like the grant to the 19 Electric Building. 20 That was tax money just completely 21 thrown away. A lady told me today I am 22 completely in favor of the park's system. She 23 told me according to the school records, 24 there's not enough children in that area to 25 warrant this little swimming area. 25 1 And I don't know. It ought to be 2 thought of maybe that the money could be used 3 better to try to clean up Capouse Avenue. 4 Unless people vote, these are the results you 5 get. Scranton -- Scranton isn't just the 6 Electric City, I think Scranton's become the 7 crooked city. 8 I talked to, like I always say, two, 9 three people a week, four people. Now, a month 10 to the -- I mean, months to the coming 11 elections, our Mayor decides to try to make up 12 for four years of nothing, nothing for the 13 people except downtown paving some streets and 14 so forth. It's too late. I sincerely hope her 15 political career is over. Thank you. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman. 17 Barb O'Malley. 18 MS. O'MALLEY: Hello, Barbara 19 O'Malley, Scranton resident. Last week 20 Mr. Smurl brought to the attention of the 21 public a letter titled Conflict of Interest 22 Concern, Todd Pousley Candidate For City 23 Council. 24 It was written by Attorney Brendan 25 Fitzgerald of the law firm of Joyce, Carmody 26 1 and Moran. Attorney Fitzgerald did not 2 identify himself as a city resident, nor 3 representing a city resident. So are we to 4 believe that mister -- Attorney Fitzgerald just 5 woke up one day and said I think I'll write a 6 letter about Scranton City Council race? 7 A reporter from the Scranton Times 8 efforts to reach members of the law firm were 9 unsuccessful. I hope the reporter tries again 10 because I would like to know why they 11 interjected themselves into the city elections. 12 They're a Pittston based law firm. 13 Mr. Smurl directed the City Clerk to 14 contact the State Ethics Commission, maybe they 15 will get an answer. I hope so because if this 16 is left unchecked, anyone running for office 17 could be targeted like Mr. Pousley was. 18 As for conflicts of interest, across 19 the Commonwealth employed men and women from 20 various professions serve as elected or 21 appointed members of boards and governing 22 bodies. If a potential conflict with their 23 business or personal life comes before them, 24 the ethical option is to recuse oneself from 25 the discussion and vote. 27 1 Surely the attorneys at Joyce, 2 Carmody, and Moran know that. The public 3 should also be aware that this law firm is 4 poised to be awarded a lucrative contract by 5 the majority of the Scranton School Board, 6 which is apparently unfazed by their 7 interference in another governing body's 8 election. 9 That does not bode well for the 10 residents of Scranton. In closing, it is my 11 hope that Scranton residents do not fall for 12 these backroom shenanigans. We have come too 13 far to go back to the good 'ol boys days. 14 Thank you. And thank you, Mr. Smurl, for 15 bringing that to our attention. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Miss 17 O'Malley. That's the end of our sign-in sheet. 18 Anyone else wish to address Council? 19 MR. COYNE: Greetings, Council, Tom 20 Coyne, Minooka. First, I'm not going to talk 21 about Rubicon. But I'm going to mention 7-C 22 this plan revision. So we're getting free 23 revisions now? We have a 214 gallon a day 24 sewer system revision and the financial impact 25 listed is none. 28 1 In the last three years I believe 2 I've never seen a cover sheet come before this 3 body for a project that is actually had a 4 financial impact listed as any other thing than 5 none. Why is that? 6 Next, we had recently had raises 7 that were pushed for some in Council -- by 8 Council for some in the city but -- who have 9 not had raises for many years. Too long to go 10 without raises was said. This was not about 11 those. 12 But we have the University who was 13 at one point paying a pilot of $225,000 a year 14 and then dropped it. And now it's down to 15 150,000 after receiving 65 million dollars in a 16 bond. I know Council was going to get tough 17 stopping $100,000 from a racetrack gambling 18 fund. 19 It's funny how much the church gets 20 from sinning. In a push for a more equitable 21 pilot donation, the church nonprofit grab has 22 been expanding as the pilot has been dropping. 23 As mentioned that they make 325 million in 24 endowments and I believe another 300 million in 25 student enrollments. 29 1 So that's around 625 million dollars 2 and they now pay 150,000 as a pilot. Back in 3 2010, Council was mad as well. The University 4 of Scranton had a total revenue of 20 -- 227.8 5 million dollars and a contribution for that tax 6 year for the pilot was $175,000. 7 Council said it was too low and they 8 consider it a small contribution compared to 9 their total revenue. So in 15 years they've 10 increased the land they own, both income in the 11 coffers, increased government funding request, 12 the total revenue was increased from 227 13 million to 625 million. 14 And we look at the 2010 pilot under 15 payment as Council claimed of 175,000 noted 15 16 years ago. And today we're getting $25,000 17 less than that. I guess we're all fine with 18 that and we have no problem that in 2010 they 19 were paying more than they are now even though 20 they made about 400,000 -- 400 million more and 21 they still need money from us. They still need 22 those donations. 23 Let's talk about the pilot and HUP 24 test. I remember when this issue came up 25 before this body, the county was supposed to 30 1 have paperwork from those nonprofits in their 2 files. What was said during the HUP test is 3 that they were going to require the charities 4 to provide the information that should have 5 been there. 6 If I build on my property without a 7 permit, the city is not going to let me just 8 continue to build until I get the proper 9 paperwork in hand. They're going to stop me 10 dead. 11 We all know the answer. So if 12 they're required as a nonprofit to file 13 paperwork with the county and they have not, 14 then they do not qualify and should be taxed 15 until they have the proper paperwork in place. 16 But we'll wait eight months and there is no 17 incentive to comply because we don't push 18 forward on it. 19 Last for tonight, I watched the 20 Mayor's state of the union address -- the State 21 of the City Address and I heard all good 22 things. But no one here talked about the loss 23 of funds and the potential need for bonds. It 24 was mentioned that she lobbied for DC 25 advocating for tax exemptions for municipal 31 1 bonds. 2 And I remember at one point we had a 3 paid lobbyist for Scranton. What happened to 4 that? She mentioned about needing to raise 5 money or possibly floating the bond for the 6 emergency operation center because we do not 7 have the federal funding anymore. 8 How come that wasn't addressed here, 9 only the good? We have a State of the City 10 that looks more like a political campaign 11 flyer. Who paid for this? It says on here 12 that we earned 6.6 million dollars. 13 That's fantastic when most of it 14 came from the 67 million dollars that sat in 15 the Recovery Act funds. It was not made by 16 this body or this city. It was federal money 17 that sat. So no one here deserves the credit 18 for that for money that sat in for federal 19 funds. 20 I'll continue this on another day 21 because there's a lot more to go through. 22 Thank you and have a good night. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 24 MR. MANCINI: Good evening, Council, 25 Mike Mancini, Scranton. Hear me twice because 32 1 I always choose my words once. Play of words 2 is going on beyond good taste and reason both. 3 I am proceeding accordingly. While other 4 choose parties I choose the good people of 5 Scranton. 6 While others plot their next move 7 for self-satisfaction, I think about what I 8 could do to help our in this current climate. 9 Here's some things that I've come up with so 10 far. Crime in our police department, the 11 following isn't in any particular order. 12 There's so many things that have changed, 13 either ignored or done poorly. 14 First thing is to get the politics 15 out of our Scranton Police Department. Switch 16 the Scranton Police testing to which is 17 uniform with the State Police, bring back our 18 Drug Task Force, bring back the Public Safety 19 Director. He will be promoted from detective's 20 ranks and will fully investigate every local 21 unwanted opioid related death. 22 There is no statute of limitations 23 on old cold cases. And there will be some sort 24 of closure if we could possibly find that; 25 utilize our drone police officers as often as 33 1 possible, prosecute crimes including opioid 2 related deaths to the fullest extent using all 3 resources available, find canine teams that 4 could detect drugs. There's 168 hours a week. 5 Every minute of each day needs to have proper 6 coverage. 7 We also need to update the 8 technology for real time video at ever major 9 thoroughfare manned and operated and watched 24 10 hours a day. Some plan for the roads and 11 infrastructure, promote from within. The next 12 DPW Director will be from the ranks. 13 No one does it better than our own 14 employees. Pave cuts, manhole covers, the 15 current administration paid an outside firm to 16 inspect our pave cuts. They canceled the 17 contract. Did we ever get our money back, 18 500,000? 19 The fix, make the utilities 20 responsible for each pave cut and every 21 deficient manhole cover. We will have five 22 pave cut inspectors. We will increase the 23 daily fine for not adhering to our current 24 ordinances from $100 a day to a thousand 25 dollars a day. 34 1 Our own eyes on our roads are 2 critical to our future. Road maintenance, 3 deferring all costs is very important. Our 4 amazing DPW employees will fill the potholes, 5 seal the cracks to prevent future damage, 6 switching out all dull signs, provide 7 crosswalks and stop blocks one lock at a time. 8 They make a noticeable difference. 9 We will make PA Water responsible for the 10 maintenance and upkeep of 88 percent of the 11 storm drains that they are responsible for. We 12 need an inhouse engineer who will reside in the 13 City of Scranton. 14 We have railroad bridges and tracks. 15 We'll make each entity responsible for 16 replacement of these old lower bridges that are 17 constantly getting hit by trucks that are over 18 100 years old. These are some things that are 19 owed to the good people of Scranton. 20 We will become the blueprint locally 21 for good government. It seems like other 22 municipalities do more with less. I want to 23 apologize to the other municipalities. We will 24 get this thing right. Everyone loves the 25 underdog. 35 1 We've had three horrible mayors. We 2 cannot afford another one. Forty million 3 dollars from Doherty, stuck us with it. We had 4 to sell the Sewer Authority. We had a mayor 5 that ended up in prison. And then we had Wayne 6 Evans who set us up for a good future just to 7 be riddled by somebody from out of town who 8 doesn't care with an expansion team. 9 We could do a lot better. I know we 10 can. I trust that the people of Scranton need 11 to do the right thing. We have a railway 12 system coming through in the not so distant 13 future. We are nowhere near ready for this. 14 Every single week there are good 15 people that come before this Council and take 16 what they're saying to heart on the local 17 things. I never discuss anything nationally, 18 to each their own. My focus is on the local 19 stuff. 20 I know how to fix this stuff. I've 21 been an advisor to the Connor's administration 22 for 12 years. There's a lot that I've done for 23 this city. There's a lot more that I could do. 24 I've been challenged more so than most people 25 in life. 36 1 And I have been told that I am the 2 type of person that could do this. I never 3 give up. We don't need a failure. We need 4 somebody to turn this city around, Mancini for 5 Scranton. Change is coming. Good evening, 6 Council Council. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 8 MS. LABROSKY: Good evening, 9 Council, Lynn Labrosky, homeowner, business 10 owner. And tonight I'm a pretty disgusted 11 taxpayer. So I have to talk about this. I got 12 up here last week and said we should keep the 13 podium to local politics. 14 I did attend the hands off protest, 15 if you want to call it that, this past Saturday 16 downtown in front of the Courthouse and across 17 the street at the Federal Building and also the 18 post office. I thought it would have been a 19 good opportunity for me to advertise that I am 20 running for Mayor in Scranton this year as a 21 Republican candidate. 22 And my husband actually looped 23 around the block, dropped me off on the corner 24 and I immediately called him and asked him to 25 come back and get me because I did not feel 37 1 safe. There was zero police presence. There 2 were hundreds of people. 3 I guess some of them Googled my 4 billboard and felt that they knew who I was so 5 I was no longer welcome there. And I was 6 confronted with lots of different things 7 including someone sitting in front of my 8 vehicle and other people joining them and 9 blocking us from going down the road. Again, 10 there was zero police presence. 11 So that was very discouraging. And 12 in a city that I was born and raised in and own 13 a home and a business in and actually I've 14 owned two homes because one burned down, I was 15 booed in my own city. I was flipped the 16 finger. And there was a lot of foul language 17 being used at this event where there were 18 children present. So that really bothered me. 19 So as much as I don't want to get up 20 here and talk about anything other than local 21 issues, I felt that our current Mayor used that 22 platform, not as a protest but more of a rally 23 because she is running as an incumbent for 24 reelection this year. 25 And so I'm going to leave it at that 38 1 because I do want to take time to get to 2 another issue that I have other things to talk 3 about but this came to me today. So two 4 gentlemen reached out to me today, Keith 5 McPhillips and Pete Williams. 6 And Park Place River Association and 7 HMA are hosting a fishing derby, which is I 8 believe the 18th annual. It's for all 9 children. It's ages 3 to 16. Again, it's May 10 3rd. And it's located on Grove Street behind 11 Ritter's Bar next to DPW in Pine Brook. 12 Anybody from Scranton would know that area. 13 And then also, the registration is 14 at 9 a.m. The event starts at 10. It ends at 15 1. And from what I -- the information that I 16 gathered -- I hope I could get this all in, but 17 they have a commission of officers that raised 18 $4,000 for the event which is to include tents, 19 food, prizes and free fishing poles for any 20 child that doesn't have one. 21 Also, the Motorcycle Club raised 22 $2,000 to pay for the fish for this event. And 23 so these people in our community that care 24 about our community went through a lot of 25 trouble and raised a lot of money to have the 39 1 event. And I'm -- sorry, I'm really upset 2 right now. 3 But they reached out to the Mayor 4 who refused to return their phone call and 5 requested using the mobile stage for the event 6 so that they could have a platform where they 7 could do the prizes and other things that 8 they're doing that day. 9 And I think this is just a terrific 10 thing that people are doing for our children in 11 the community because we don't want them on 12 drugs. We don't want them joining gangs. We 13 want them to have something to do. There's 14 absolutely nothing in the city to do for kids, 15 especially kids that aren't old enough to go to 16 a bar. 17 And then the ones that are, that's 18 all there is for them to do. So I'm kind of 19 going off a little bit here and I normally 20 don't do that. But so then they were told by 21 someone in City Hall that the stage is 22 available for a donation of $557. 23 Now, I'm not really sure where 24 that -- they got that amount from. But $557 25 sounds odd. But a donation is any amount. So 40 1 that would be a fee in my opinion. And last 2 year they were told there was a donation 3 involved but they sold the stage to the highest 4 bidder. 5 So now that would become an auction. 6 Can these children and this event, can they use 7 that stage? Is there anything that you could 8 do as a Council. And if there is a fee 9 involved or it's a donation, maybe 100 bucks 10 each. There's five of yous. Maybe that could 11 cover it. I'll throw in the other 57. 12 I mean, it's not a lot to ask for a 13 really great event that's been going on for 14 years for the children in the community. The 15 Mayor won't return the call. I don't 16 understand why. 17 I have so many other things I want 18 to say but, you know, I'm over time. But, I 19 mean, come on, we can't come together as a 20 community and help our kids? The little 21 leagues and the finishing derby and the things 22 that are being provided in our community for 23 our children so they're not in trouble so they 24 are engaged and they have things to do and 25 they're active and they're not on they're -- 41 1 let them go fishing, you know? 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 3 MS. LABROSKY: Hand a man a fish and 4 you teach for a day. But if you teach them how 5 to fish and can we do that for our children, 6 please? Can we make a decision as a Council to 7 do that? 8 MR. SMURL: The Show Mobile is 9 available online. You have to go to the DPW 10 website and you order it right online. 11 MS. LABROSKY: But they said they 12 called the Mayor. She would not return their 13 phone call. 14 MR. SMURL: All I could tell you is 15 what I know -- 16 MS. LABROSKY: And they did get 17 information back that it's a $557 donation. 18 MR. SMURL: If you go -- 19 MR. KING: There's a process. You 20 have to go online. All the organizations that 21 utilize that, they go on. They fill out the 22 application, apply for it. 23 MS. LABROSKY: Well, apparently they 24 did that last year but it got sold to a higher 25 bidder. 42 1 MR. SMURL: Okay. Thank you. 2 MS. LABROSKY: Thank you. 3 MR. MCANDREW: I'll speak to this in 4 Fifth Order. 5 MS. LABROSKY: Thank you. 6 MR. DOBRZYN: Good evening, Council, 7 Dave Dobrzyn, resident, taxes paid this year. 8 Once again, we talked about tax exempts and 9 pilots and pilots are a pittance. And what we 10 really need is for the state to take 11 responsibility for their Constitution and 12 compensate Scranton and cities like it for the 13 excess 40 percent, 40 percent -- and I'm not 14 criticizing anything anybody does as a tax 15 exempt. 16 There's a lot of things are very 17 noble. And once again, we got shtooked with 18 the gas company. There's no hearing tomorrow 19 on our neck of the woods. It's all down in 20 Luzerne County and if you can take time off or 21 get down there and find out where you're 22 supposed to go. 23 When the water company had their 24 hearing, they had it up at Marywood College in 25 Dunmore. We had no hearing here. And I fault 43 1 Scranton politicians for part of that. It 2 should have never been done. I got treated 3 like some homeless bum that was looking to come 4 in out of the cold or something. 5 Nobody knew where the building was 6 that at the hearing. I got there halfway and 7 when I heard the amount that they were 8 offering, I thought, oh, well, I'll never -- 9 how much money is going to be left after this 10 is all done. And I was right there, not much. 11 Utilities, fix the potholes. We 12 need inspectors before and after for these 13 potholes. There's several places on Crown 14 Avenue already. It's been recently paved and 15 really crummy repairs. So we really need 16 somebody to inspect before and after or at 17 least after. 18 And they shouldn't be in town 19 without a permit. Now, I'll keep my comments 20 lacking of profane. But back when Robert 21 Kennedy, Jr., was being considered for the 22 Health and Human Services, I saw a family 23 member on a newscast, possibly Caroline. I may 24 be wrong there, the sweet Caroline girl -- 25 accused Robert, Jr., of distributing drugs 44 1 including heroin to family members and a deadly 2 overdose resulted from heroin. 3 And Vitamin A poisoning, in Texas 4 kids are coming in. He's recommending Vitamin 5 A as a substitute for vaccine for measles. And 6 by the way, it's in New Mexico and Kansas and 7 Oklahoma now. And they're coming in with liver 8 damage. 9 Hardly one percent of the population 10 needs a good does of Vitamin A. The rest, six 11 hours later -- he attended the funeral of a 12 girl that passed away last week from measles. 13 Six hours later -- first he was saying, well, 14 we need vaccinations. 15 Six hours later he's quoting 16 quackery. And by the way, he also fired a man 17 this week who is Donald Trump's savior for 18 developing this treatment that wasn't available 19 in public for anybody. It was like $120,000 or 20 $200,000. 21 I'm really -- don't expect things to 22 improve for Scranton with the federal 23 government. The situation is in -- 6 to 10 24 trillion dollars lost in the stockmarket in the 25 last two months and most of it the last week or 45 1 two. 2 Laura Loomer here, 911 conspirator 3 theorist, she talked to Trump and a four star 4 general was fired from the National Security 5 Council along with two or three other 6 employees. And she's calling for execution of 7 Trump's opponents. 8 And April 4th he went to his golf 9 game and four soldiers were -- lost their lives 10 in Lithuania on a drill. And he didn't -- he 11 wasn't there to receive them. You know, he 12 don't care about soldiers. He doesn't care 13 about anything. Thank you. Have a good night. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 15 MR. SIMRELL: Good evening, Council. 16 My name is Bailey Simrell. Once again I'm back 17 to talk about Rubicon Routeware and the 18 illegal -- the illegal irregularities, 19 procedural flaws and more. 20 Actually also this is new but I 21 didn't realize this, the blog post on the 22 city's website, the press release from February 23 25th, they actually list in here the initial 24 three-year contract with Rubicon was for 25 $165,000. 46 1 In legislation to be introduced by 2 City Council this week, the software only cost 3 of Rubicon will be $33,805.20 per year for the 4 next five years. That's not true. They didn't 5 mention the price increases year over year. 6 So going back to the timeline, that 7 was the same day as the caucus, same day that 8 the IT Director neglected to mention the price 9 increases due -- after a direct question from 10 one of the Council members to the caucus. 11 Then on March 1st, I didn't ask for 12 this, but I got into a Facebook discussion with 13 the IT Director. I had a bunch of questions, 14 never got answers. On the same day I talked to 15 four DPW workers who basically countered 16 everything he had said and I had valid 17 questions, didn't get any answers. 18 Then on March 4th in the Council 19 meeting, the new contract was proposed marked 20 with draft all over it. Everybody has these 21 documents and offer good through January 1st, 22 2025. 23 On this same day I raised 24 performance and more like product concerns, 25 those kind of went unanswered by most of the 47 1 Council. And then on the 11th when Council 2 voted on a 3-2 despite objections from 3 Councilman -- Council members Schuster and 4 McAndrew and multiple citizens, it was made 5 known that there was an unpaid invoice for 6 January to March confirmed the unauthorized use 7 of this software before the contract was ever 8 approved by Council. 9 So the administration unilaterally 10 decided that they were going to intermittently 11 use the software before you guys approved it. 12 And it's like the answer was, oh, yeah, there's 13 an invoice but we didn't pay it yet. 14 And if we don't -- if Council 15 doesn't agree to the contract tonight, the 16 Solicitor said he was sure that there would 17 probably be a legal action from Rubicon. Well, 18 what would be the basis for that legal action? 19 We didn't sign the renewal yet. So 20 what's the point of these meetings if the 21 administration just does whatever they want? 22 This is like theater. What's the point of all 23 of you guys talking? What's the point of all 24 of us coming here if they just do whatever they 25 want? 48 1 I think this is a huge deal. Then 2 on March 19th, the Mayor came up to me at an 3 event. I didn't ask for this either -- accused 4 me of alleging corruption on her part 5 mis -- representing my comment that Routeware 6 is Portland, Oregon based was interesting. I 7 still think it's interesting. That's all I 8 said. 9 She dismissed interim use concerns 10 saying Rubicon wasn't upset so there's no 11 aggrieved party. Well, the taxpayers and the 12 DPW workers are the aggrieved party in this 13 instance. 14 On March 18th and March 25th Council 15 meetings, I asked who authorized the interim 16 use and why no holdover existed, no answers 17 emerged. So today I have some key concerns and 18 calls to action. Rubicon operated for 70 -- 70 19 plus days without a valid contract or Council 20 approval accruing unpaid invoices. Who 21 authorized this and under what budget? 22 The draft renewals expired offer 23 good through date questions its enforceability. 24 Why wouldn't we get the date amended on the 25 contract before we put it into the record and 49 1 signed it? 2 Attorney Gilbride made a warning 3 that there would be a legal action from Rubicon 4 if we voted no on it that night before the 5 vote. How could we say that and what was the 6 basis for that comment? 7 Rubicon promised $395,000 in annual 8 savings but there's still no before and after 9 on these proven savings. The administration 10 acted before approval and the Mayor dismissed 11 my concerns. I think this is a big deal. And 12 I think it undermines this Council's 13 legislative power. 14 So I think you guys should be trying 15 to figure out answers for who authorized this, 16 under what budget and authority and what 17 specific legal grounds did Rubicon have if you 18 guys were to vote no because that doesn't make 19 any sense to me. Thank you. 20 MR. SMURL: Thanks. Attorney 21 Gilbride, is there an explanation for how would 22 we use Rubicon for 30 days, 60 days without a 23 contract? 24 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Well, that happens, 25 Mr. President, in all levels of government. 50 1 And it happens just in private industry as 2 well. I can't speak for Rubicon. And that day 3 that I made the statement about a potential 4 suit, that's true. There could be a potential 5 suit. 6 I don't know if Rubicon would do 7 that. I have no idea. I don't work for 8 Rubicon. That being said, there is nothing 9 unusual for a company particularly when they're 10 in negotiations and when they're looking, they 11 know, in fact, that this body was considering 12 legislation to extend the contract. 13 But somebody would have to talk to 14 somebody from Rubicon to find out why they took 15 the chance of not getting paid for the two 16 months that they were allowing the city to use 17 it outside of the contract. 18 MR. KING: So is it fair to say they 19 took a risk? 20 ATTY. GILBRIDE: Correct. And 21 that's exactly -- that happens -- I don't have 22 to tell you, Mr. King, you're working for a 23 business that deals with government 24 (inaudible) -- it happens all the time in these 25 situations. So it's not unusual by any means 51 1 that something like that would happen. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: Mr. Voldenberg, the 3 invoice from January to March, can we find out 4 if that was an invoice for work done during 5 January or March or if that was a holdover 6 invoice from -- from prior to December of '24? 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 8 MR. SCHUSTER: And then if it is, in 9 deed, from work done January to March, can we 10 find out who it was that authorized that and 11 where it came from? 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 15 MR. LITTLE: Hello, I'm Rik Little, 16 property owner, taxpayer candidate -- 17 Independent candidate for Mayor of Scranton. I 18 would like to talk about what I see as the 19 overriding problem -- I've been talking about 20 this for a while. 21 I've gotten sidetracked with looking 22 into this Chris McNulty case where he's in jail 23 for $50,000 and the police officer -- a 24 Scranton Police Officer doesn't show up for the 25 preliminary hearing on March 27th. And it's 52 1 postponed until tomorrow. 2 But what bothers me is the economics 3 of all of this. You know, it's like if on the 4 spot if a hospital employee can point to 5 somebody and say he's a danger to himself or 6 somebody else that we could take his liberty. 7 That appears to be exactly what happened. They 8 tied him up and then the police come. 9 And the police, of course, go on the 10 side of the security guard and they say, you 11 know, in the paper, you know, that he's 12 homeless. I'm still trying to find out who 13 coined him homeless and he attacks security 14 guards. 15 But apparently he was tied up and he 16 was spitting at them. And it doesn't make 17 sense. And the problem is the way I see it is, 18 you know, justice delayed is justice denied. 19 And it's a just a fact that if a person has a 20 302 or a 1551 on them, they pay for it. 21 And if it's a homeless guy, Medicaid 22 pays for it. So the way the money flows, it's 23 a win/win situation for the city. But it's a 24 complete injustice due to the no due process in 25 the judicial branch. And I see that as the 53 1 biggest problem. 2 Are there any federal grant writers 3 on -- in the -- within the legislative branch 4 of the Scranton government? 5 MR. SMURL: I'm certain there are. 6 MR. LITTLE: There are? 7 MR. SMURL: I would believe so. 8 MR. LITTLE: Yeah, I'd like to look 9 into that because -- because it seems like 10 they're following the laws of these judges and 11 just what has been going on with the 12 Commissioners the last month, you know, it has 13 all to do with the Home Rule Charter and it's 14 up to the Court of Common Pleas judge. And 15 they have Republican judges and Democrat 16 judges. 17 And it just doesn't seem -- it's not 18 constitutional because there's no check and 19 balances on anything. It's like we're booming 20 ahead like the Chris McNulty case. He's in 21 jail, you know, he's charged with, you know, 22 all of these things. That's how they -- 23 prosecutors were -- overcharged him. He spit. 24 He said, "Do you want me to spit on you again?" 25 And, you know, the lawyers are 54 1 calling in. And there are no lawyers here. 2 There really are none. You know, I found out 3 that, you know, Lackawanna Pro Bono and 4 Northeast Penn Legal, they don't represent you. 5 They're in with the judiciary. They get paid. 6 But, you know, just like the Area 7 Agency on Aging when they closed the health 8 department in the county, and they use that. 9 And last weekend, you know, all of these people 10 protesting, these are the NGOs. Taxpayers paid 11 for these people to be bused in and come into 12 Scranton and, you know, it's a long thing to 13 explain. 14 But it's the same thing that 15 happened, you know, that was explained in this 16 book with our Mayor being from Portland, this 17 is a book by a guy from Portland. If you read 18 the book, he explains how Soros's open society 19 funded all the people in the George Floyd 20 peaceful protest. And that's our government 21 that's working. We have to get our government 22 back. Thank you. 23 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Little. 24 Is there anyone else? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 55 1 MOTIONS. 2 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 3 any motions or comments? 4 MR. KING: Just a few comments. It 5 was mentioned that there hasn't been really any 6 paving done. That's not true. Over -- I don't 7 have the list in front of me. But just some of 8 the streets that I know have been paid, North 9 Washington Avenue, Marion Street, Meadow 10 Avenue, Hemlock Street, Mountain Lake Road, 11 East Elm Street, Cherry Street, Birch Street, 12 Derby Avenue, Roland Avenue. 13 So we can't say -- and there's a lot 14 more than what I just read there. Those are 15 ones that I'm just picking off the top of my 16 head. So there has been paving going on for 17 the last -- at least the three and a half years 18 that I've been here. 19 And as far as pools are concerned, I 20 know a lot of people are -- seems like a lot of 21 people are running for Mayor. Everybody's 22 complaining that there's -- that they're going 23 to build pools. 24 Well, they're going to be fortunate 25 that if they get elected Mayor that almost all 56 1 of the pools they are going to built. It's a 2 process. It takes time. They have to be 3 designed. You have to get the funding. But we 4 have pools being built at Nay Aug. We have a 5 pool being fixed in -- up at Connell Park. 6 We have a new pool being built at 7 Weston Field and a skate park on top of that. 8 There's splash pads going over on Capouse 9 Avenue. So whoever gets to be the next Mayor 10 is going to be in good shape because the pools 11 are going to be ready or 2026 I guess we'll 12 have a new mayor. 13 As far as I sit here and I listen -- 14 and I don't like to get into national politics 15 either. But I have to sit here and listen to 16 it usually every Tuesday night. It's 17 interesting how people come and bash and, you 18 know, Biden -- the former President Biden and 19 Biden Street. Yet, the present individual that 20 sits in the White House, he made a prediction. 21 He said we're going to have a crash. 22 And we're going to have a crash like a 1929 23 crash if she gets in. And he said 24 furthermore -- let's see. Here we go. "You'll 25 have a depression the likes of which you've 57 1 never seen. 2 Your 401K will go to hell and it 3 will be a very, very sad day for the country." 4 Well, guess what, our 401ks all just went to 5 hell in the last two weeks. As was pointed out 6 earlier 6 and half trillion dollars have been 7 lost in the stock market, have dropped. 8 The Dow has dropped 5,994 points 9 since December. So if this is making America 10 great again, wow, where we going? Thank you. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 12 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 13 comments? 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Yes, I have a few. 15 Back a few months ago we -- I discussed that 16 there was some plans for the West Scranton 17 corridor. And this is the area located at 18 Euclid Avenue and North Main Avenue on the 19 railroad side. There's a large field there on 20 the side abuts the railroad tracks. 21 And there was grant money allocated 22 there. It went to the Scranton Redevelopment 23 Authority. There was going to be an entrance 24 there to West Scranton and there's going to be 25 signage put up saying Welcome to West Scranton 58 1 or Welcome to Tripp Park. 2 I had some questions into the 3 administration and they sent me some answers 4 back about this. But I haven't had an update 5 since. So I'd like to ask, Mr. Voldenberg, 6 when it comes to that project, can we ask when 7 was the grant awarded, how much was the grant 8 for -- I believe it was $750,000, what was the 9 timeline on the grant and what work is to be 10 completed and when will the work start? 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask those 12 questions. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. We did 14 talk a little bit about in caucus Penn 15 Ambulance we had Penn Ambulance come in for a 16 caucus. We spoke with them. Out of that 17 meeting it was a request of Council that the 18 administration speak with Penn Ambulance to 19 move forward with some sort of plan for 20 ambulance services in the city. 21 We were told that some informal 22 conversations may have happened. Can we find 23 out if, in deed, any meeting have occurred with 24 Penn Ambulance? And if not, do they expect to 25 have a meeting in the near future? 59 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 2 Schuster. 3 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. And then 4 when it comes to the DPW contract, I know we've 5 been getting answers saying that it's being 6 worked on, the administration is working on it 7 with DPW. But can we find out have there been 8 any meetings, what are the dates of the 9 meetings and are there any meetings set up for 10 the near future? 11 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll get that 12 information. 13 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 14 That's all, Mr. Smurl. 15 MR. SMURL: Dr. Rothchild, do you 16 have any motions or comments? 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. First, the 18 curb cut that we have been asking for at Colfax 19 and Olive, I still haven't received any 20 additional updates from what I've given last, 21 to my knowledge; is that correct, Mr. 22 Voldenberg? We haven't gotten anything else on 23 that? 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll ask the 25 Director tomorrow. 60 1 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. That's 2 something I'd really like to find out when 3 that's going to happen. 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you. 6 And I have received a response from what we 7 were asking last week on the outdoor pools and 8 specifically the zero entry ones and if there 9 would be lifts available for people to be able 10 enter the pool. 11 The response that we received was 12 that the Parks Department has pool lifts at 13 Weston Field's indoor pool, Connell, and Weston 14 Park. Weston Field and Nay Aug's outdoor pools 15 will not need a lift as the zero entry sloped 16 entrance suffices for ADA compliance. 17 Accessible parking spaces are 18 available near each pool's entrance. But I 19 wasn't really asking about ADA compliance 20 because there's one thing about that you could 21 be compliant with what they require, but then 22 are you truly meeting the needs of the disabled 23 community? 24 And so that's where my concern comes 25 from. And I do want to push to at least have 61 1 the availability of aqua wheelchairs like we 2 were discussing last week because even though 3 you have zero entry, if someone is not 4 ambulatory or they are a wheelchair user, then 5 they're still not going to be able to bring 6 their daily wheelchair into -- in order for 7 them to enter the water. 8 So I still want to continue that 9 discussion and push for us to be able to have 10 those available for the public at those pools 11 that don't have the lifts. And that's all that 12 I have. Thank you. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 14 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any 15 motions or comments? 16 MR. MCANDREW: A couple, so I also 17 asked some questions about pools that are going 18 to be built over the next couple years because 19 I heard different numbers or different depths, 20 whether it was on Facebook or in the paper or 21 the last time we actually met. 22 So for clarity's sake I asked for, 23 please advise the specifics related to the 24 actual depth of all city pools, new and updated 25 from the shallow entry side to the deep end of 62 1 each pool. 2 So what I got back was, Weston Field 3 indoor pool, 3 feet to 9 and a half. Okay, we 4 kind of already knew that. Connell 3 feet to 5 13; Weston Park 3.5 to 13; Weston Field outdoor 6 activity pool, 4 feet and then Nay Aug activity 7 pool. So I'm assuming that's the youth pool. 8 That's going to be 3 feet. 9 So we didn't get the schematics or 10 specifics on the lap pool. So please, Mr. 11 Voldenberg, I'd like to expand my inquiry as to 12 that -- the depth of that pool. 13 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. Mr. 14 McAndrew. 15 MR. MCANDREW: But what scares me 16 and I don't like is -- and I know through some 17 of -- some of the videos I saw of the Mayor, 18 you know, pools cost money and so does water. 19 And that's understandable and maintenance. 20 But what costs money more is 21 liability and people getting hurt. So if you 22 have a 3 foot -- I heard 3 foot. Now they're 23 stating 4, 4 foot pool at two locations, kids 24 are going to jump in that. Kids are going to 25 dive in that. That's an instinctive thing to 63 1 do. 2 And what I looked at is, you know, 3 the American Red Cross recommends from jumping 4 from the side of a pool it should be at least 6 5 feet. Diving into a pool should be nine. We 6 discussed -- discussed in caucus I remember 7 growing up where so many people got hurt diving 8 into a 4 foot pool, some -- some with last 9 injuries and paralysis. 10 So and I know we could put up a 11 bunch of no diving signs and stuff to that 12 nature, but I just think if we're going to have 13 and bring back the big pool that Nay Aug once 14 had and it's only going to be 4 feet, I don't 15 think that's good enough. I don't think that's 16 good -- well, it's definitely, in my personal 17 opinion, it's not good enough for me. 18 But I don't think it's good enough 19 for the masses that want to use it. We're 20 going to have a splash pad there which is fine. 21 This is going to be -- you know, this is the 22 youth pool, okay. But I want to know the depth 23 of the other pool because I did not receive 24 that information if would you, please, do that, 25 Mr. Voldenberg. 64 1 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 2 MR. MCANDREW: Okay. And then the 3 Show Mobile, so I'm here six years. So over 4 the course of six years, I've heard from 5 actually a previous DPW Director that sometimes 6 the Show Mobile at the administration or the 7 Mayor's discretion is free. 8 I'm only saying that because I was 9 told that. Can I confirm that sitting here, 10 no. But when I told something by a director I 11 believe it or should believe it. I don't know 12 if that still takes place or that's still a 13 practice. 14 But would you please reach out to 15 administration, Mr. Voldenberg, and inquire as 16 to does that still happen? Is there any 17 organizations in the city that receives the 18 Show Mobile for free. And that's great. But I 19 think this -- these poor kids should have -- if 20 that's the case and this happens, I think these 21 children should have the same opportunity. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, Mr. 23 McAndrew. 24 MR. MCANDREW: Clarity for that. 25 Thank you. Another issue that it's brought up 65 1 to me a couple times is, St. Ann's Street, 2 Rundle Street, over in my neck of the woods, 3 and Cornell and them streets that -- that go 4 all the way to the bottom of Sloan, right, so 5 trucks are trying to get back to, say, Kane 6 Warehouse, their GPS is telling them, hey, go 7 up St. Ann's Street. 8 And when they get there, obviously 9 Kane is only a few hundred yards away but 10 there's no road. So what's happening on these 11 streets is lines are being knocked down by the 12 trucks, right, so an old power -- I mean, I'm 13 sorry, an old phone line, not a big deal. 14 And I know it happens a lot in the 15 winter when there's ice or snow weighing them 16 down. But, you know, old cable lines, a lot of 17 people are streaming stuff. They're maybe not 18 live or whatever, it's not a big deal. But 19 it's a nuisance because somebody has to be 20 called. 21 But what I'm hearing lately which 22 scares me to death is, power lines are coming 23 down. So they're very dangerous. I'd hate to 24 see some kid get hurt, killed -- God bless-- 25 electrocuted. So this has become an issue that 66 1 is continuously happening on all of these 2 streets because of GPS. 3 So with that said for the safety, 4 you know, of our residents that live on these 5 streets and moving forward, can we have the 6 City Engineer take a look at this, do a study 7 as to what we could do with it. 8 I mean, we can't change GPS 9 obviously. But maybe we could post some type 10 of signs so, you know, we can make this a safer 11 path for everybody. 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll submit that 13 tomorrow. 14 MR. MCANDREW: All right. Thank 15 you. And I believe that is all I have. Thank 16 you. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 18 I have a few reminders for our veterans is the 19 first one. We do have again this year $100,000 20 available for grants for nonprofit 21 organizations located in the City of Scranton 22 to serve our veterans and their families. 23 Applications are open now. And they 24 are due by Tuesday, April 29th. You could 25 actually apply online through Open Gov and type 67 1 in Scranton Veterans 2025. And you could fill 2 the application online. It's basically the 3 same one we've been doing for the past few 4 years. 5 The funds are to help our local 6 non-profits continue to serve the respected 7 members of our veteran communities and their 8 families. If -- you also have to be a 501C3, 9 501C19 or 501C23 that serves veterans and their 10 families. 11 And, of course, you'll have to fill 12 out what you're going to use the money for and 13 stuff like they have in the past. But that is 14 open right now. The same as last year, the 15 funding decisions will be made by a committee, 16 including representation of the veterans. 17 The program is funded in part or in 18 full are available and priority will give to 19 applications who demonstrate how programs will 20 prioritize and support low income veterans. So 21 and this has to be done. Remember, it's got to 22 be in by the 29th of April. 23 If you want to get any information 24 of this, you could you go online or you can 25 call Sherry Frable at our OECD Office or our 68 1 Community Development Manager Liza Carroll. 2 They're both on the website. Put their first 3 initial in and spell last name dot gov and they 4 will come up to the website. 5 Also available is grant money for 6 our local nonprofit community centers. This is 7 also due by April 29th. And they are all the 8 city buildings if you need -- I don't know when 9 those roof repaired. I think we did West 10 Scranton last year, a roof repair or something 11 there. 12 But also the same people to contact 13 and they also have to be in by the 29th. I'm 14 stressing this because there's only a few weeks 15 left. That's it for the grants. 16 Political signs, advertising a 17 person or seeking a political office or a 18 political cause or opinion or referendum or 19 matter of political concern in which relates to 20 a schedule election or a matter upcoming vote 21 by government body. 22 So I was asked to let everyone know 23 that the signs -- no sign is allowed in the 24 public right-of-way. So anything on the 25 outside of the sidewalk is a public 69 1 right-of-way. Entrance to the expressway, any 2 public right-of-way, we have been taking the 3 signs down from these people that are saying 4 they're buying your houses, relators. Whoever 5 has it in the public right-of-way, we are 6 taking them down. 7 So if you're missing signs, the DPW 8 that's been removing them, go down there. They 9 store them for you down there. They don't just 10 throw them out. And if they're not there, our 11 Parks and Rec people also pick them up and they 12 remove signs also. So they may be at Weston 13 Field. 14 So if your signs are taken down, 15 they say that they do store them for a while. 16 So if you have them out and they are in the 17 right-of-way and they're missing, it's because 18 they don't belong there. 19 Also, this is a recap of a meeting 20 in downtown Scranton on Friday, 4/4/2025. This 21 is what's going to be repaired as far as the 22 streets and -- or the courts. The first one is 23 Forest Court; second is Dix Court and Kressler 24 Court. They're going to be full width 25 resurfacing in both of those courts. 70 1 They're going to cut as close as 2 they can to the buildings on both sides. And 3 they are going to be paved. They're also going 4 to be paving Lackawanna Avenue from Penn Ave., 5 to Adams Avenue -- Adams and Cedar. The lanes 6 will be resurfaced and up to the double yellow 7 lines. 8 And also they have to repaint 9 everything and put all the dashes and the lines 10 back down. Lackawanna Avenue from Adams and 11 Cedar to Kressler, PennDOT road -- where they 12 tore a path in the road, they're going to relay 13 the entire half of that road that was torn up. 14 Contractor will conform to all DOT 15 requirements because that is -- it is a DOT 16 street. So they also when -- and PennDOT 17 requires if you're paving, you've got to do the 18 entire intersection. So if you see that one 19 part is cut up, PennDOT requires you to do the 20 entire intersection. 21 Also, Mulberry Street -- Mulberry 22 Street also is a PennDOT road and the 23 contractor knows that and they will resurface 24 the entire intersection. Also South Washington 25 Avenue from River Street up to Lackawanna 71 1 Avenue, so if you've driven there you will see 2 the one side is all torn up and then it 3 switches and then it goes to the other side. 4 So they're going to do that entire 5 path width that they tore up from River Street 6 to the entrance of the mall. And from there, 7 they're going to widen it and do the entire 8 road up to the mall parking garage intersection 9 to Lackawanna Avenue because they cross and 10 they cut that out. 11 Also, while downtown looking at 12 these, a number of UGI pave cuts were 13 identified in the walkthrough. And they do not 14 appear to be properly compacted. And they need 15 to be addressed. So we've asked that that will 16 be taken care of also. 17 And Stafursky, who looks like they 18 are going to do the job said they're going to 19 start in two to three weeks and they are 20 authorized UGI paving company. So they will be 21 out this week. And they will be marking the 22 streets with pink paint. 23 So if you see that out, that's 24 everything that's going to be paved that they 25 cut up and tore up downtown. And that's it for 72 1 the paving for downtown. 2 Now, this is for FEMA. This is our 3 present administration. And the FEMA ends 4 wasteful politicized grant program return the 5 agency to core mission of helping Americans 6 recovering from natural disaster. 7 So pretty much what that means is 8 FEMA is ending the Building Resilient 9 Infrastructure and Communities Program. So the 10 Bric grants that we applied for and we've gone 11 through the first two stages of getting them 12 will not happen now. 13 That has been taken away from -- 14 with the Trump administration. And that money 15 is gone. So the Bric Grant Program, another 16 example of wasteful and ineffective FEMA 17 Program. So but I guess they say they are 18 going to help Americans recover from natural 19 disasters but they took the money away. So I 20 don't know how they're going to do that. 21 Approximately 882 million dollars in 22 funding is gone. And there's really nothing we 23 could do about it. It's gone. So that's one 24 program that is gone. And I certainly hope the 25 Meadow Brook Project isn't the next one on the 73 1 chopping block because they seem to be taking 2 all the money that we have. 3 I called the Mayor this morning when 4 I found out this information and to see what we 5 could do if there's anything that we could do. 6 And the Mayor and the administration had 7 already sent a letter out to John Fetterman, 8 Dave McCormick, Representative Rob Bresnahan 9 on behalf of the city to express our deep 10 concern following the recent decision by FEMA 11 to terminate the Building Resilient 12 Infrastructure Community, the Bric Program and 13 canceling all pending grants, applications for 14 fiscal years 2020 to through 2023. 15 And we were in that group. This was 16 made public -- I believe it was like late 17 Friday, last Friday afternoon. And we do have 18 a direct impact on our city for all those 19 people that we were going to buy the properties 20 and that they were always being flooded. 21 So in July of 2024, two of 22 Scranton's Bric applications, they advanced, 23 past the initial federal review and achieved 24 that position. So the community, we were 25 pretty much sure that they were going through 74 1 at that time. 2 But evidently, that money is not 3 available anymore. I will ask Mr. Voldenberg 4 instead of reading two pages to you, I will 5 give you this. You will put this on the city's 6 website, if you will? 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 8 MR. SMURL: Thank you. And one more 9 thing from last week, this is a response from 10 NeighborWorks. They did send us a response in 11 to my request. And it is a response to the 12 Council's request, please be advised that 13 NeighborWorks of Northeastern Pennsylvania is 14 exercising due diligence in assessing issues 15 related our employee's candidacy. 16 The organization and Board of 17 Directors continues to be prudent in our fact 18 gathering and analysis. This includes making a 19 formal request to Penn State Ethics Commission 20 for an advisory opinion on the existence of any 21 conflict of interest in connection with 22 Mr. Pousley's candidacy or election if he is 23 successful. 24 We appreciate your attention to this 25 matter, regards Shane Powers, President and CEO 75 1 of NeighborWorks. Thank you for the response. 2 That is it, Mr. Voldenberg. 3 MR. VOLDENBERG: 5-B.
