22 OF THE SCRANTON PARKING AUTHORITY HELD MARCH
23 26, 205.
24 MR. SMURL: Are there any comments
25 on any of the Third Order items? If not,
4
1 received and filed. Do any Council members
2 have any announcements at this time?
3 MR. MCANDREW: I have a quick one.
4 So this Sunday, April 13th from 2 to 5 at the
5 Ukrainian Club on Railroad Avenue, they'll be
6 having their Easter Ham and Kielbasa raffle.
7 There will be 15 winners of one 10 pound ham
8 and two rings of kielbasa. That's all I have.
9 MR. SMURL: Anyone else?
10 MR. SCHUSTER: I'll add this to
11 announcements. It is on Third Order. I was
12 happy to see that the Parking Authority passed
13 their -- put the audit out for bid. So they
14 started that process.
15 MR. SMURL: Okay.
16 MR. 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.
